Yet a number of the onlookers, possibly men with Vorse's or Sorenson's money in their pockets, shouted as the new-comers moved through the press: "Killer, murderer! Hang him, shoot him!" And more voices began to join in the cry. Clearly the intent was to stir up feeling in the crowd to a point where action against Weir would seem a spontaneous outbreak.
You should notify his son and also the undertaker, so the body can be taken care of. I'll telephone the latter too when I reach my office." This Martinez did, informing Saurez's family that the old man had died while apparently asleep at Vorse's, and expressed his sympathy and sorrow.
It must have been shortly after he made this deposition. He died in Vorse's saloon, which gives a color of suspicion to his death. In addition, Martinez, as you know, was dragged away somewhere." "Then Vorse learned old Saurez had blabbed, and killed him," Johnson said, in a convinced tone. "Vorse is a bad bird, I want to say. But so are all of them, Sorenson, Burkhardt and Judge Gordon as well."
Thereupon Weir briefly sketched out events for the officer as they had occurred and as showing the motives which had inspired his enemies in seeking to destroy him: the original plot against his father, his determination to uncover the four conspirators, the episode at the restaurant in Bowenville, the discovery of Ed Sorenson as the hirer of the dead Mexican assassin, the obtaining of Saurez' deposition and Martinez' imprisonment in Vorse's saloon cellar, Janet's abduction and rescue and the loss of the paper.
Out of all the rambling talk and vague accounts of the Dent and Weir affair Martinez was able to piece together the fragments in a clear statement.

She knew it not; it was withdrawn again and the door remained closed and locked while the threads of Destiny continued to be spun. In Vorse's saloon, where in the past so many evil ideas for the acquisition of money or power had sprouted, the scheme had its inception. It had been of slow growth, with innumerable suggestions considered, tested, discarded.
In some mysterious manner knowledge that Burkhardt and not Weir was the prisoner in the jail, together with news of Judge Gordon's suicide and Vorse's death, had spread from mouth to mouth.
"Janet!" he cried. And the girl flung her arms about him. "Juanita told you? Oh, it was dreadful! But Mr. Weir has brought me home safe." Dr. Hosmer too agitated to speak reached out and grasped the engineer's hand, pressing it fervently. At about that moment three men sat in the rear of Vorse's saloon. The shades were drawn and the front part of the long room was dark.
