They had sentenced him to six months in jail for shooting a bull elk out of season, threatened him with ten years more for killing a beef cow. Now they wanted him for double murder.

...dawn Peter Corbett, junior partner of Johnson, Bellinger & Corbett, rose drunkenly from the clammy garage floor. He was wet, grease-smeared, his head ached and he was sick at his stomach. His wife and baby lay huddled asleep in the back seat of the Austin. In a junior bed, flanked by the garden roller and a sandbox, slept Phyllis, 6, John 3. The nurse lay rolled up in an eiderdown beside...
