"You have some affidavits, Mr.Griffin---or, at least, you have some witnesses, and they have very likely furnished you with affidavits.

The names of your witnesses, or of your most important witnesses, are Fessenden, Bettrick and Deevers.

Fessenden was a bank clerk, discharged from the bank by the elder Dodge.

Bettrick is a truck-driver, and Deevers is---well, I understand he has no more important occupation than lounging about drinking places." "I am sorry that you know the names of my witnesses," replied Lawyer Griffin gravely.

"I am beginning to be impressed with the idea that you know their names so readily because you recall having said something in their presence or hearing against young Dodge." "That is hardly likely," replied Dick, smiling coolly, "because I do not believe that I know either of the three young men by sight." "Then why," demanded the attorney, eyeing the young West Pointer keenly, "do you know so much about their occupations or lack of occupation?
And why do you know that they are all young men ?" "I will tell you," replied Dick.
