She had ample testimony to prove that she was kidnapped, and it was so fully verified that the jury decided that she was a free woman, and papers were made out accordingly. In the meanwhile, Miss Martha Berry had married Mr. Mitchell and taken me to live with her.

Even the Mexican was listening. Dick's cue was to scare them, or at least to have some fun at their expense. "They've passed it," I replied. "Fellows like Buell will go to the penitentiary for life.
