"You didn't swallow that bird's yarn, did you?"
"Of course not," answered Carroll calmly.
"I didn't think so; but you had me worried, with that innocent look of yours. Me, if I was wantin' to play safe on this case, I'd arrest William Barker pronto."
"Why?"
"Because," snapped Leverage positively, "I think he was mixed up in
Warren's murder!"
"Aa-ah!" Carroll refused to become excited. "You do?"
"Yes, I do. What do you think?"
"I think this," answered Carroll. "I think that Mr. William Barker knows a great deal more about the case than he has told!"
