Jones testified that he was present at the Seattle police station when Philip K. Ahern, manager of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, requested the release of Smith and Reese, two of his operatives who had been on the Verona. Underwood stated that upon hearing of the treatment given the I. W. W. men at Beverly Park he had exclaimed, "I would like to see anybody do that to me and get away with it."
The only reward I can ask is forgiveness for trespassing upon the property of others." "You shall receive pardon for all transgressions. But you must get me to some place of safety," said Beverly, eagerly. "And quickly, too, you might well have added," he said, lightly. "The horses have rested, I think, so with your permission we may proceed.
"If we only knew what he is charged with!" "I'm afraid it's something dreadfully serious," admitted Beverly gloomily." He doesn't look like the sort of man who would engage in a petty undertaking. I'll tell you his story, just as he told it to me," and she repeated the meagre confessions of Baldos. "I see no reason why we should hesitate," said the princess.
As Beverly had said, what could she want him for? He hadn't a thing that she valued or needed.

She is standing in the group near the table," corrected Miss Stetson with some satisfaction. "Impossible. I have just this moment locked her in her room for disobedience and insolence.
