The progress of events during the last few days had shaped this conference, for, as Dave had forecast during his conversation with Judge Ellsworth, the local prosecuting attorney saw in the Guzman cattle case an opportunity to distinguish himself, and was taking action accordingly. He had gathered considerable evidence against Urbina, and was exerting himself to the utmost for an indictment.
"They call you the best lawyer in this county because you settle so many cases out of court." The judge smiled at this. "Well, here's a chance for you to do the county a good turn and keep Ed Austin out of trouble." "How?" "The prosecuting attorney is a new man, and he wants to make a reputation by breaking up the Lewis gang." "Well?" "He intends to cinch Urbina, on Ricardo's and my testimony.
Urbina is probably your cattle thief, but he has a hold over Ed, and so he rode to Las Palmas when he was pursued, knowing that no jury would convict him over Austin's testimony." "Do you think Ed would perjure himself?" Dave asked. "He has gone clean to the bad lately; there's no telling what he'll do. I'd hate to see you crowd him, Dave."
I reckon it can be proved all right," confidently asserted Lewis. "Nobody'd believe such a thing." "Folks are ready to believe 'most anything about you. Your wife would believe it. Ain't Las Palmas in her name, and don't she give you so much a month to spend? If them ain't facts, you lied to me." "Yes!" Urbina supplemented. "I can swear to all that.
My evidence wouldn't carry no weight; but there ain't a jury in South Texas that would question yours. Adolfo done the right thing." "I don't see it," Ed declared, petulantly. "What's the use of getting me into trouble? There's the river; they can't follow you across." But Urbina shook his head. "You know he can't cross," Tad explained. "His people would shoot him if he ever went to Mexico."
