"She might have frightened him," Ned replied, "for he may not be used to women. Still, she may have had some one with her!
It was a great day, for the two lifers had become three, although they accepted me only on probation. As they told me long after, they feared I might be a stool placed there to work a frame-up on them. It had been done before, to Oppenheimer, and he had paid dearly for the confidence he reposed in Warden Atherton's tool.
Soon after you brought me to New York they found out about our marriage, and put 'personals' in the newspapers headed like those others in California: 'Steve's Sister. They knew, of course, that their man, who should have met me in Chicago, had been prevented from coming imprisoned on a charge which they called a 'frame-up' but I believe he must have picked someone's pocket and been arrested in the railway station.
But I've heard others say that Father knew all about the plans for that fight before it happened, and that he could have stopped it had he wished to. It isn't true! And if Mr. McGowan even thinks it's true he isn't fair. He will misjudge Father if he has the least idea that he would stoop to such a frame-up." "I cal'late he ain't misjudging your father none, Beth.
For instance: 'A prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the simple pass on and are punished. I've told you this Engle melon ain't as ripe as they think it is. You be prudent and don't ask me how I know." "If the frame-up goes wrong, what'll win?" asked the Kid. "Well," said the old man, "my hoss Elijah's in that same race, but it's a little far for him.
He told how he had been put thru the third degree; and she told how the water from the washtub had leaked thru the ceiling, and the plaster had fallen, and ruined the dinner of a poor workingman's family. Also, she told him all about the frame-up as the Reds saw it. Andrews, the lawyer, was demanding the right to see the prisoners, but this was refused, and they were all being held without bail.
But after the uproar broke, Joe stoutly maintained that our elopement had all been a frame-up, alleging his conversation with me as proof ... as who would have not? Reduced again to my barest equipment, and having left as my forwarding address the office of the National Magazine, in New York, I hopped a freight shortly after dawn. It was a fast, through freight.
Pony Baxter, slowly recovering from an all but fatal gun-shot wound, disclaimed any knowledge of a "frame-up" to get The Spider, stating that, while aware that the gunmen and The Spider were enemies, The Spider's sudden appearance was as much of a surprise to him as it evidently was to the gunmen and Baxter's serious condition pretty well substantiated this statement.
"I won't get out of the car and I won't desert it," he heard the small stranger announce sturdily. "Didn't you say you were with me?" "I did, but I " "Then shut up. The road's all right; there's nothing the matter with it; this is some kind of a frame-up. Did you come along this way when you copped it before; I mean you and that pair?" "I don't know, I was under the buffalo robe."
You didn't tink I was bashful didja? Wot fer did you detail dem two pikers, Miller and Swenson, to guard de skirt fer if it wasn't fer some special frame-up of yer own?
