The Commissioner regarded Bemmelman with a frown. Then he turned away, asked in a changed voice: "Will Natal go on the witness stand?"
"Go ahead, Natal," said Cosmo.
Natal ran the tip of his tongue over his thin lips. He gave Bemmelman a venomous glance, said: "He's the Renegade all right. We holed up in the Cloud Mountains. Bemmelman gave us our orders, for the most part, over a special frequency radio phone. He never let anyone here on the plantation guess he was the Renegade. He played a dual role."
"A Jekyll and Hyde role," interposed Cosmo smoothly.
"Lies! Lies!" shouted Bemmelman.
The Commissioner ignored him, kept his eyes on Natal. "You can show us the hideout?"
"Certainly."
"What about the other men."
"They escaped," Cosmo interposed, quickly.
