“I admit that's a hard point to get around. On the other hand, how does Reddy's friend know all the facts he appears to know? Can you explain that?”
“Likely enough he got 'em out of Mrs. Crittendon; she knows a good deal about the Landrays,” suggested the general.
“Her father's cousin was a member of the party,” said Benson. “It is possible she knows all that any of us can know.”
“But the papers, Mr. Benson, the papers! Suppose they are genuine, what then?” asked Wade.
“We don't know that yet. Mrs. Landray will determine that point.”
“And you always understood that the boy was killed with the others?”
“Yes, Raymond distinctly stated—”
“Wait a minute—who's Raymond, Mr. Benson?” interrupted Wade hastily.
“He's the man of whom I've been telling you.”
“Well, Rogers claims to have recovered these papers from a man named Raymond.”
