"I dell you, Parney Hawks, I will do it."
"I am perfectly willing, my dear boy."
"Dot settles it, then."
"All right. Do you remember that Clark that we saw with Peter two or three times?"
"Yes."
"Well, they think he had a hand in the affair. One woman, Mrs. Tyron, claims she saw him running down the street just after the freight train passed."
"Perhaps she did."
"Yes, and perhaps she didn't."
"Vell, let 'em think so, anyway. They may hang him if they want to: I sha'n't stop 'em, Parney."
