When I passed by it, my own gadget must have blown it. I knew the police couldn't have made it here between the time of the fight and the time they showed up.

All the police in the country is looking for us on the wrong road, and will be for a week or two yet.

Collins's arrest spread through the big police building and in few minutes Britz was besieged by importuning reporters. He waved them aside and entered his private office where he was joined by Manning and Greig. "Well, Britz, you've certainly given the newspapers a sensation," observed the chief.
