He was fifteen miles away, and we can prove it by at least six witnesses." "Good. I reckon Em can put in an alibi too." "I'll bet he can." Hart promised this with conviction. "Trouble is they say they've got witnesses to show Em was travelin' toward the Bend half an hour before the hold-up. Art Johnson and Clem Purdy met him while they was on their way to town." "Was Crawford alone?"
Purdy, she don' wink no mor'. Dat damn good t'ing." Again Alice Marcum shuddered as Endicott spoke: "Can you find our horses?" he asked. "I must go to town and give myself up." "Oui, A'm git de hoss' a'right. Better you tak' 'em an' skeep off. A'm git on dat posse an' you bet we no ketch. A'm lak' you fine." "No! No!" Endicott exclaimed.

If you insist on me defending the case, I tell you I would sooner pay the penalty you name." Trueman's voice is tremulous.

The sun was slipping behind the trees before the children even thought of going home. "Next Friday at three!" said Mrs. Purdy, cheerily waving them good-by. "And we are going to see who has the cleanest face and the best report."
