A meeting of the agent and Alex. Campbell, transpiring at Carroll’s saloon, the fourth day of August, was productive of interesting results. The Summit Hill tavern-keeper and former Bodymaster zealously recommended McGehan as one of the best men in the country, and was happy to see that Hugh and Mulhall had found work at Tuscarora. He said, boastingly, that as soon as he could go to Mauch Chunk, for the necessary license, he proposed to set McGehan up in a saloon of his own, McKenna, Kerrigan, and Carroll being warmly pressed to honor the opening with their presence, which all promised. Then, stepping aside a little, Campbell let out to the detective more than he had ever before said: “It was McGehan, himself, who fired the shot that killed Yost! Boyle was along, it is true, but McGehan’s shot finished the business and the other did not have to discharge his pistol at all!” This remark, coupled with the facts he had already obtained from Mike McKenna, Kerrigan, and Carroll, firmly convinced the inquirer there could be no mistake about the matter. The murderers of Yost were found. But where was the testimony with which to convict them, in the face of the omnipresent _alibi_? He did not despair of even ferreting out that, before finishing the good work. It was Campbell who had sent McNellis to Tamaqua, notifying Kerrigan he should stay at home the night fixed for the killing of some unsuspecting boss, as McGehan and Mulhall had that day chanced to return to Storm Hill. Subsequent to the departure of Campbell for his home, McKenna took the saloon-keeper away from the house a little and said: “Jim Carroll, you thought I didn’t know who it wor that knocked Yost off his two feet!” “I knew d——d well that you did know!” was Carroll’s laconic return. “Well, I don’t blame ye at all for kapin’ a tight rein on yer tongue! I’d ha’ done the same, meself, had I been in your pair o’ boots!” “That’s all right!” continued Carroll. “It was a mighty good thing, an’ McGehan is the fellow for a clane job! Mulhall was in for it, with him, but some objected because he was a man of family, so Boyle took his place. I wanted to have it put off, when I saw McCarron and Yost come past here, in company, an’ told the men to seek a better chance, another day, but McGehan said he’d been over here three times to do it, and he would not brook further delay. So they went and did it!” “An’ did it nately and aisily, too?” suggested McKenna.
