they are prisoners.
As Was Jusi ceiling you," resumed
the commissioner. there are woods not
far from the bluff in which men and
aeros can be concealed. Now, nv plan
IS to take four swift police department
6iers and hide them in those woods.
Moreover, ! shall have a dozen Sharp
shooters concealed in the treetops. He
will drop down over the bluff in his
aero and keep it lowering near during
his conference with you. Then when
