Ferris who was looking round wildly,
as though for some means OF escape,
started and recoiled at the sound of the
ill-omened word. 'To prison!" he
echoed hoarsely. Great God. you
would not take me to prison. l am in
nocent, I tell you. l know nothing of
this murder"
I'VE have evidence to the contrary"
said Gebb quietly. "and I advise you. sir.
to hold your tongue. Anything you say
now will be used in evidence against
YOU"
IL shall not hold my tongue" said Fer
ris with more composure. There Is
nothing can say likely TO inculpate me
