"But _who_ is going to bring him back?"

"They want him as a witness in the McBride case. They--Moxlow, that
is--seems to think he knows something that may be of importance. He's a
crazy fool, with his notions!"

"But North--" Evelyn began.

"It may make a lot of trouble for him. They are going to bring him back
as a witness, and unless he gives a pretty good account of himself,
Moxlow's scheme is to try and hold him--"

"What do you mean by a good account of himself?"

"He'll, have to be able to tell just where he was between half past five
and six o'clock last night; that's when the murder was committed,
according to Taylor."

"Do you mean he's suspected, Marsh? But he couldn't have done it!" she
cried.

"How do you know?" he asked quickly.

"Why, I was there--"

"Where?"

"With him--"

"Here--was he here?" A great load seemed lifted from him.
