Of course they found no accomplices, nothing at all but the handful of half-consumed matches the lad had dropped, and he all that time stood trembling, and occasionally struggling, beneath the firm but not rough grasp of the master who held him. At last the men were told to return to the house, and thither, by a different path, was George led, till they entered a small, poorly-furnished room.
The assassins left off only from fatigue, and at this moment they are preparing to begin again. But the people themselves were accomplices in the deed, for the Garde Nationale gave their assistance," &c. &c. In spite of the murder of so many journalists, and the destruction of the printing-offices, it treats the September business so freely, that the editor will doubtless soon be silenced.
Their operations covered a country more than two hundred miles across in either direction. They had accomplices and friends in nearly every little placita of the country. Sometimes they gave a man a horse as a present. If he took it, it meant that they could depend upon him to keep silent.
Assassin we have called him, although there was not on his part so much as an attempt at assassination; but he had, by his own admission, projected and made preparations for the crime, to the extent of talking it over with accomplices and sharpening the knife he had purchased for its accomplishment.
By the principles of your committees, there is no crime; yet, invariably, where there is no crime there can be no accomplices. Gentlemen, if it be a weakness to spare a culprit, to visit the weaker culprit when the greater one escapes, is cowardice injustice. You must pass sentence on all the guilty alike, or pronounce a general pardon." Grégoire supported the accusation party.
"I shouldn't wonder if this was some more of the plunder taken by the man with the white mustache and his accomplices."

"All right," agreed Dick, and Jack led the way forward.
He soon after fell again into the hands of Justice, from whence he escaped by impeaching Allen and Chambers, two of his accomplices, and so evaded Tyburn a second time. Yet all this signified nothing to him, for as soon as he was at home, so soon to work he went in his old way, till apprehended and executed for his wickedness.
From an Olympian pinnacle of indifference he calmly surveyed their inoffensive antics. It was surprising how his cheapening of his wife put him at ease with himself. Far as he and she were from each other they yet had, in a sense, the tacit nearness of complicity. Yes, they were accomplices; he could no more be jealous of her than she could despise him.
It was fully an hour after Victor Lamont's accomplices for such they were had retreated, that Sally opened her eyes to consciousness. For a moment she was dazed. Where was she? This was certainly not her room at the Ocean House. In an instant all the terrible scenes she had passed through recurred to her. She was in the cab alone! With a spasmodic gesture, she caught at her neck.
No, for then in view of all the conversation that had just occurred Winters was sharp enough to know that he had been discovered, and desperate enough, Theodore believed, to do anything. There was room enough in the closet for two, or indeed three men, and perhaps the villain had accomplices. Could he propose to Mr. Stephens that they carry the strong box to his private room?
