That three nights ago you were in a gambling hell, Sagosto's, to be exact, one of the most disreputable in New York and you went there on the invitation of a stray acquaintance, a man named Perley shall I describe him for you? A short, slim-built man, black eyes, red hair, beard, and " "YOU know that!"
Then he spoke again: "You're a bit of a rounder, Burton, but I think you've had a lesson that will last you all your life. You were half-drunk when you and Perley began to hobnob over a downtown bar. He said he'd show you some real life, and you went with him to Sagosto's. He gave you a revolver before you went in, and told you the place wasn't safe for an unarmed man.
The easiest way of getting them was through you. The revolver he gave you before you entered Sagosto's was loaded with blank cartridges, the blood you saw was the old, old trick a punctured bladder of red pigment concealed under the vest." "Let us get out of here!" Burton shuddered again. "Let us get out of here at once now. If we're found here, we'll be accused of THAT!"
