Excerpt: ...over, sooner or later. But-everybody has the wrong idea of this Guzman killing. The Federal officers in Romero didn't frame it up." "No? Who did?" "Tad Lewis." Jones started. "What makes you think that?" "Listen! Tad was afraid to let Urbina come to trial-you remember one of his men boasted that the case would never be heard? Well, it won't.

Excerpt: ...over, sooner or later. But-everybody has the wrong idea of this Guzman killing. The Federal officers in Romero didn't frame it up." "No? Who did?" "Tad Lewis." Jones started. "What makes you think that?" "Listen! Tad was afraid to let Urbina come to trial-you remember one of his men boasted that the case would never be heard? Well, it won't. Ricardo's dead and the other witness is gone. Now draw your own conclusions." "Gone? You mean the fellow who saw Urbina and Garza together?" "Yes. He has disappeared, too-evidently frightened away." Jones was amazed. "Say, Dave," he cried, "that means your case has blown up, eh?" "Absolutely. Lewis has been selling 'wet' stock to the Federals, and he probably arranged with some of them to murder Ricardo. At any rate, that's my theory." Blaze cursed eloquently. "I'd like to hang it on to Tad; I'd sure clean house down his way if I was positive." "I sent a man over to Romero," Dave explained further. "He tells me Ricardo is dead, all right; but nobody knows how he died, or why. There's a new grave in the little cemetery above the town, but nobody knows who's buried in it. There hasn't been a death in Romero lately." The speaker watched his friend closely. "Ricardo's family would like to have his body, and I'd like to see it myself. Wouldn't you? We could tell just what happened to him. If he really faced a firing-squad, for instance-I reckon Washington would have something to say, eh?" "What are you aimin' at?" Blaze inquired. "If we had Ricardo's body on this side it would put an end to all the lies, and perhaps force Colonel Blanco to make known the real facts. It might even mean a case against Tad Lewis. What do you think of my reasoning?" "It's eighteen karat. What d'you say we go over there and get Ricardo?" Dave smiled. "That's what I've been leading up to. Will you take a chance?" "Hell, yes!" "I knew you would. All we need is a pair of Mexicans to-do the work. I liked Ricardo; I owe him...
