There was a flash of amazement in the young man's face, a sudden bewilderment; the diamond expert's countenance was expressionless. "You don't deny that you killed him?" persisted the chief accusingly. "I have nothing to say," said the expert again. "And you don't deny that you were Red Haney's accomplice?" "I have nothing to say," was the monotonous answer.
'Are you one of those who were sent out by the London Syndicate? 'Yes, answered Kenyon with astonishment. 'What do you know about it? 'Oh, I know everything about it. Everything, except what the mining expert's report is to be, and that information, I suppose, you have; so, between the two of us, we know a great deal about the fortunes of the London Syndicate.

He can't sell what he hasn't got; and I can't sell what I haven't got. Supposing I've got knowledge that he hasn't if I can't make a profit out of that, what can I make a profit out of?"
