"I reckon that brought on his heart-attack." "True, true," agreed Rochester. "The excitement was too much for him." "House-breaking" ejaculated the detective. "Dangerous sport for a man suffering with angina pectoris, aside from anything else. Who preferred charges?" "The Misses McIntyre," answered the deputy marshal, to whom the question was addressed. "Like to interview them?" "Yes." "No, no!"

The prison usually contains every class, from the hardened convict, incarcerated for house-breaking, robbery, or murder, to the youth who expiates his first offence, committed under the influence of evil companions, or sudden temptation.

I had in my life engaged in many questionable and dangerous enterprises, but this was my first attempt at house-breaking. To say that I was nervous would but poorly define the state of my feelings.
