"If it ain't it ought to be!" declared his plain-clothes man sententiously. "Can't you indict him for burglary?" "You can indict all day; the thing is to convict!" snapped Peckham.
North again turned listlessly toward the window. "I wouldn't own myself beat yet, John!" said the deputy. "I've gone down at every crisis!

If we knew where she was we could stop the marriage and indict van Heerden but I've an idea that we shan't locate her until it is too late or nearly too late. I can't go hunting with a pack of policemen. I must play a lone hand, or nearly a lone hand.
Have a care, friend have a care I'm clerk to the parish clerk to the parish, Sir and I'll indict you for sacrilege." The wooden features of Bunting relaxed into a sort of grin at the alarm of his friend.

"As Cot is my judge," cried Morgan, "and my salfation, and my witness; whosoever has pilfered my provisions is a lousy, peggarly, rascally knave! and by the soul of my grandsire, I will impeach, and accuse, and indict him, of a roppery, if I did but know who he is."
