John Patterson and Tom Thornton corroborated Keenan's testimony. A surprise was sprung upon the prosecution at this juncture by the introduction on the witness stand of George Kannow, a man who had been a deputy sheriff in Everett and who had been present when many of the brutalities were going on. He told of the treatment of Berg after the "Wanderer" arrests.
Her mission was plain now. She had gone to warn Dundas. She had taken a direct line through the woods. She hoped to forestall the deputy sheriff and his posse, following the circuitous mountain road. Keenan's lip curled in triumph. His heart burned hot with scornful anger and contempt of the futility of her effort.
I slipped into a silversmith's shop, as he raced past, and escaped him." "And then what?" "Then several things happened. But first, tell me this: did you get a chance to look over Keenan's room?" "I was bolted inside twenty minutes after you and he had left the hotel. His trunk was even unlocked; I looked through everything!"

It was not until she had reached the closed carriage Keenan's steward had already ordered for her that she realized how apparently cursory and precipitate had been that hurried word of warning.
