There was not in Southern California a more honest man than Major Burkess; yet the minute-hand of his watch had not indicated more than one-half of fifteen minutes, when he exclaimed: "Time's up!" The men approached the prisoner the woman threw her arms around him, and cried: "My husband! Oh, God!" "Madam," said the major, "your husband's life is in his own hands.
Suddenly one of the party separated himself from the others, and exclaimed: "Gentlemen, there don't seem to be anybody else a-comin' we might as well 'tend to bizness. I move that Major Burkess takes the chair, if there's no objections."
No objections were made, and Major Burkess a slight, peaceable, gentlemanly-looking man stepped out of the crowd, and said: "You all know the object of this meeting, gentlemen. The first thing in order is to prove the identity of the prisoner." "Needn't trouble yourself 'bout that," growled the prisoner. "I'm Bill Bowney; an' yer too cowardly to untie me, though ther be a dozen uv yer."
