Hollins was one of the prominent attorneys of East Point, and before the election of Kilgore as prosecutor had been his partner. Unlike Kilgore, we found him especially uncommunicative and inclined to resent our presence in the case as intruders. The interview did not seem to me to be productive of anything. In fact, it seemed as if Craig were giving Hollins much more than he was getting.
Both detectives sprang down several stairs to evade the rain of lead, for both Kilgore and Stall were rapidly emptying two revolvers. A bullet singed Patsy's ear. Another dislodged Chick's hat. Then Kilgore reeled with a slight wound in his left arm. A score of shots were fired and wasted, meantime, for all hands were dodging about the hall and stairs in an utterly indescribable fashion.
David Kilgore, chief of the notorious diamond gang bearing his name, and one of the keenest and coolest criminals in or out of prison walls, removed his pipe from his mouth and his heels from the edge of the table, and drew forward in his chair to explain. It was a curious place, that in which the speakers of the above were seated, in the bright glare of an electric light.
If not, what sort of a game have they been playing here to-night?" Nick very quickly measured the various possibilities of the unusual situation. If the man whose name he had heard was indeed David Kilgore, then Rufus Venner, as well as Cervera, might be in league with the diamond gang, and the pretended robbery only a move made with some secret design.
"With my scheme, however, Pylotte is just the covey to do the job, and land both Carters where we want them." "And then?" "Then it's our ability against theirs," snarled Kilgore, "If we go lame, with the odds all in our favor, we deserve to be thrown down." "That's right, too," admitted Dalton. "Will Pylotte undertake this sort of a job, think you?" inquired Matt Stall.
Only one thing had occurred to mar the relief which the call had afforded. The topic of the murder had been exhausted before Joseph entered, but, just as she was leaving, Mrs. Smith made a return to it, saying: "Mrs. Kilgore, I was telling my husband I should think you must be scared to be in the house, for fear the murderer might still be hanging around." Mrs.
That Nick would thus have declared himself in the very presence of Kilgore, if known to him, seemed utterly absurd; and the eyes of both Kilgore and Matt Stall were aglow with a vicious amusement and satisfaction much too genuine to be entirely concealed. "Well, Mr.
Pylotte is too cunning to have betrayed us in any way." This was very true, in fact; but Venner himself had blindly done the betraying. "It doesn't matter, Rufe," Kilgore fiercely added. "We must get them both." "That's my idea." "And it's all the easier to get them one at a time." "Right you are, Dave." "Has he discovered Pylotte?" "Surely not!" "Go back there, then," hissed Kilgore.
Bart Hodge stepped out, picked out one of Sparkfair's curves and smashed a hot grounder at Bubbs, who gathered the ball up cleanly and whipped it across to Brooks. "Out at first!" announced Kilgore. "Oh, Bart! Bart!" cried Elsie laughingly. "Can't you do better than that?" He shook his head as he walked back to the bench. "Your turn next, Mulloy," said Frank.
Kilgore immediately doing the same. The rays extended right and left and far enough downward to reach the stream, which could be seen, dark and quiet, flowing beneath and away through the woods to the big pond, a quarter of a mile below.
