"He's gone to Bar Harbor for a couple of weeks' vacation," he was told. "Whom must I see in his stead?" And after some time Peter was brought face to face with the acting official. "Mr. Nelson told me he should present the Coldman case to the grand jury to-day, and finding he has left the city, I wish to know who has it in charge?" asked Peter.
"That's what I answered." "And your name is?" "James Coldman." "Do you intend to answer my question?" "Not till I know your business." "I'm here to find out against whom to get warrants for a criminal prosecution." "For what?" "The warrant will say." The man squirmed in his chair. "Will you give me till to-morrow?" "No. The warrant is to be issued to-day.
"Why not now?" "Because we hope to make Coldman speak the truth in the trial, and thus be able to reach Bohlmann." "You're wasting your time." "Not if there's the smallest chance of sending the brewer to prison." "There isn't. Coldman will stick to what he said if the thing is ever tried, which it won't be." Peter eyed Dummer without changing a muscle.
"But I tell you the criminal one is dead. Squashed. Bohlmann and I have seen the right people, and they've seen the District Attorney. That case won't even go to the grand jury. So now, drop it, and say what you'll settle the civil suits for?" "James Coldman shall go to prison for killing those children," said Peter, "and till he does, it is waste time to talk of dropping or settling anything."
