They brought Pinto Silva into the
magistrates court at Bow street The
following morning in condition of
roiiapse. The man was dazcd BY hls
misfortune. incapable of answering the
questions which were put TO him, or
even OF mstrncting the cyasperated
solicitor who had been with him for
on hour.
ny the solicitors side was gray.
faced. shrunken man. whose clothes did
not seem TO fit him and who at the end
or the proceedings whispered sonnet hing
INTO the lawyers ear. But the applica-
ton which was made for bail was re.
lccted. The evidence was too damning,
ana the knowledge that the prisoner
was not English and that it would be
impossible to extradite him il he man
aged to make his escape to another
country, all helped to influence the
magistrate in his refusal.
Colonel boundary did not speak to
the man under arrest or as much rs
look at him. He got out Of court after
the proceedings had terminated, the
cynosure OF every policeman's eye, and
drove back to his apartments. He had
not heard from Crewc or L0llie that
morning. and he guessed that the two
had left by airplnne. SO he was alone.
he thought. and the very knowledge had
the effect of stilfening him.
He could go through the remainder Of
his papers at his leisure. without fear
of Interruption The lesser members of
the gang had been controlled by Sclby
or Crewe. and they would not approach
him directly. but he did not doubt that
there were a score Of little men waiting
to jump into the witness box the mo-
ment he was caught, but he had by no
means given up hope of escaping.
For days he had carried in his pocket
the means of disguiSe--a safety razor,
scissors md small bottle Of Il solution
TO darken his face.
Despite his sixty zone years. he was
healthy and vrilc man. capable Of
undergoing hardships if the necessity
arose, but. above all. he had a plnn
and an alternative plan.
He finished the destruction Of his
correspondence. and then begun to
search his pocket for any stray letters
which he might have put away absent
mindcdly. In making this search he
came upon a long white envelope adj
dressed TO Crewc. and wondered how
1t had come into his possession. Then
he remembered that Crewe had handed
him a letter.
He looked at the postmark. From
the college town where Snow Gregory
had once been resident.
This was the report Of the agents
whom Crcwc had sent down to discover
the names of the men who had left the
university in certain year. Snow
Gregory. who had been found shot in
the streets Of London, had left the col
lcge IN that year. II was certain that
il was a relative Of Snow Gregory who
was called Jack o Judgment and who
had taken upon himself the task OF
a.vcnging the mans death.
