The fourth disciple selected was Aaron Dwight Stevens, an ex-convict from the penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth. Stevens was by far the most daring and interesting figure in the group. His knowledge of military tactics was destined to make him an invaluable aide. The uncanny in Brown's spirit had appealed to his imagination from the day he made his escape from the penitentiary and met the old man.
But at the scene of the murder, the stage-driver of the present generation tells his passengers that Darcy was paroled several years ago, after spending thirty years in prison. He may add that Darcy, the ex-convict, is an inert and lifeless creature, married to a paroled woman as lifeless as himself. Darcy's friends in Union City would not have it appear that their model citizen was a murderer.
What would become of us?" said the poor woman sobbing. "Come, come, do not carry on so," Jacob consolingly said. "These passes have always been dangerous. Thirty years ago I met with a misfortune at this same place; oh, when I think of that time " The face of the ex-convict darkened; Madame Danglars looked anxiously at him, and murmured softly: "May God have mercy upon me!"
But neither of the two inns in the town would give him food or shelter, though he offered good money for payment. He was an ex-convict that was enough to exclude him. In despair he went to the prison, and asked humbly for a night's lodging, but the jailer told him that was impossible unless he got arrested first.
While not constituted exactly like the Court of Areopagus, yet the Vigilance Committee of San Francisco did for a time exercise authority over life and death like the Athenian judges on Mars' Hill. The shaft of lightning first fell on an ex-convict who was caught stealing.
Aylmore has forgotten that it's not such a difficult thing to rake up the past as he seems to think it is. For example, as I was just telling these young ladies, I myself have discovered who Marbury really was." Breton started. "You have? Without doubt?" he exclaimed. "Without reasonable doubt. Marbury was an ex-convict." Spargo watched the effect of this sudden announcement.
Despite the shoddy miserable prison-suit that the prostituted government had given him a suit that would have made Apollo grotesque and would have marked any man as an ex-convict, thus heavily handicapping him from the start Gabriel Armstrong's poise and strength still made themselves manifest.
He had been a killer, but the men he had killed had been taken at advantage. It was one thing to shoot this Beaudry cub down from ambush. It was another to meet him in the open. Moreover, he knew the Rutherfords. The owner of the horse ranch had laid the law down to him. No chance shot from the chaparral was to cut down Dingwell's partner. The ex-convict listened to the whispers of Tighe.
I'd just as soon be there as to tramp around without a cent of money." Andy was not surprised to hear that he had to deal with an ex-convict. He understood that this man was a desperate character. He saw that he was a strong, powerful man, in the full vigor of life. Any contest between them would be most unequal. He was but sixteen and the tramp was near forty. What could he do?
"Precisely what we are doing, Dr. Bryce," replied Harker. "All right, my friend," said Bryce, laconically. "Now we understand each other. So do you know who John Braden really was?" "Yes!" replied Harker, promptly. "He was in reality John Brake, ex-bank manager, ex-convict." "Do you know if he's any relatives here in Wrychester?" inquired Bryce. "Yes," said Harker.
