Where do you stop, Mr. Keene?
gpt
At the Golden Lion.
human
Good hotel; but I would like to have you accompany me home. I would talk of the late crime at Ridgewood. I notice that a large reward has been offered for the perpetrator.
gpt
It seems so.
human
Of course you will strive to win the reward.
gpt
Certainly.
human
This is the hardest part of the city, said Bordine.
gpt
It's seldom that I come this way.
human
What called you here to-night?
gpt
Well, simply because I saw a fellow coming this way that I recognized. The man entered that saloon. You see I brood continually over the murder of poor Victoria Vane.
human
Yes; that is natural enough.
gpt
Is it? I suppose it's because I was connected with it in such a way.
human
You connected with the murder?
gpt
I was connected with it, as you will remember. Sometimes I blame myself for not remaining until her brother returned, and not giving that tramp the opportunity he desired,
human
So you think it was the tramp that committed the murder?
