 His explanation of the methods by which G-Man is equipped to track down the criminal was par ticularly interesting. He also gave a thorough resume of the procedure a person goes through to become G-Man.

 Pardo was arrested by Detectives Edward McElligott and William Fo- ley after having been picked up in Darien at the request of local au- thorities.

 Changes Mind
