Capt. B. I need no light to punish a scoundrel. (comes up, and strikes bed with whip—Schmidt jumps up) So, sir, I’ve found you—you rascally kidnapper!
Schmidt. You are mistaken. I am somebody else.
Capt. B. I know you are Mr. Brown, and that’s sufficient.
Schmidt. I am not Brown, I am te original John Schmidt.
Capt. B. Brown or Smith, did you not decoy Adelina from her father’s arms?
Schmidt. Nein.
Capt. B. Did you not run away with my child?
Schmidt. Nein, I never run away nobody.
Capt. B. Did you not swindle me of a hundred dollars?
Schmidt. Nein.
