"I am free now," he said, "with the exception of a little personal business which I can doubtless finish up tomorrow suppose I come Thursday?" "Good," exclaimed Compton, "but before you go I want you to meet our assistant general manager, Mr. Bince." And he led Jimmy toward Bince's office. "This is Mr. Torrance, Harold," said Mr. Compton as they entered, "Mr. Bince, Mr. Torrance. Mr.
"Yes, he said Bince gave it to him to croak this fellow" nodding toward Jimmy. "What fellow?" asked the attorney. "You mean Mr. Torrance, the defendant?" "Yes, sir." "And what else? What happened after that?" "Krovac said he'd split it with me if I'd go along and help him." "Did you?" "Yes." "What happened?" "The guy beat up Krovac and come near croaking me, and got away."
"And now," he said, rising, "I must be going. I have a great deal to attend to this afternoon and to-morrow, as I wish to get some personal matters out of the way before I start in here Thursday." "All right," said Mr. Bince, "I suppose we shall see you Thursday, but just bear in mind, please, that you and I can work better together than at cross-purposes."
"Wrong doesn't describe it," he exclaimed bitterly. "The man that he has done the most for and in whose loyalty he ought to have the right of implicit confidence, is robbing him blind." "Bince?" asked the girl. Jimmy nodded. "I didn't like that pill," she said, "from the moment I saw him." "Nor I," said Jimmy, "but he is going to marry Miss Compton and inherit the business.
Edith noticed that he inquired each day with growing solicitude as to the reports from the hospital relative to Jimmy's condition. She knew that Bince disliked Jimmy, and yet the man seemed strangely anxious for his recovery and return to work. In accordance with Jimmy's plan, the C.P.A.'s were to give out no information to any one, even to Mr.
Another man is supposed to have been hired to take the job, but of course he won't show up. You meet me here at seven thirty to-morrow night, and I'll give you your final instructions and tell you how to get to the plant." The C.P.A.'s were slow in completing their report. At noon on Saturday it looked very much to Bince that there would be no report ready before Monday.
"The thing would be a nuisance in my pocket," and he dropped it into one of the desk drawers, while Bince continued his way toward the shop. Compton was looking through the papers and letters on his desk, evidently searching for something which he could not find, while the girl sat awaiting for him to continue his dictation. "That's funny," commented Compton.
"I cannot give it to you here," said Bince, "but if I should happen to pass through the shop this afternoon you might find an envelope on the floor beside your machine after I have gone." The following evening as Jimmy alighted from the Indiana Avenue car at Eighteenth Street, two men left the car behind him.
It had been conceded that the judge's charge would be brief and perfunctory, and there was even hope that the jury might return a verdict before the close of the afternoon session, but when Bince and his bride entered the court-room they found Torrance's attorney making a motion for the admission of new evidence on the strength of the recent discovery of witnesses, the evidence of whom he claimed would materially alter the aspect of the case.
"No," said the other, "I don't." "Neither do I," said Bince. "I know his plans even better than you. This shop has short hours and good pay, but if we don't get rid of him it will have the longest hours and lowest pay of any shop in the city." "Well?" questioned Krovac. "I think," said Bince, "that there ought to be some way to prevent this man doing any further harm here."
