“I sure did. In your room on Crown street. Now maybe you won’t be so high and mighty.”
“If you found that in my room, someone else put it there!” declared Link. “I certainly never did.”
“Well, I won’t say that couldn’t happen,” spoke the officer coolly, “but if you think I planted it there to frame up some evidence against you, you’ve got another guess coming. I took your landlady into the room with me, to have a witness, and she saw me pull this book out from the bottom of a closet.”
“I never put it there!” protested Link.
“You can tell that to the judge,” went on the officer. “How about all the money you’ve been sporting around to-day, too?”
Link started. Andy, too, saw how dangerous this evidence might be.
“I’ve had some money—certainly,” admitted Link.
Link hesitated. He realized that the story would sound peculiar.
“It was sent to me,” he answered.
