“Then do it.”
Adam signed at the bottom of the back page and handed it to
Sam. Sam signed his name next to Adam s.
“Look, Adam. I need to know. What are my chances?”
“Depends on several things, Sam. Depends on how much you
tell me about the bombing.”
“I don’t follow.”
“If there are new facts, then we present them.”
“What kind o f new facts?”
Adam looked at him steadily. “Where did you learn to handle
explosives?”
“Here and there.”
“There were at least five bombings before Kramer, all the same
type, all very basic - dynamite, a fuse lit with a match. Kramer o f
course was different because a timer was used. Who taught you
how to make one?”
“It’s very simple. Any fool could do it.”
“Let’s try it this way. Did you or did you not have someone
with you, someone who placed the explosives, on the night
when you bombed the Kramer office?”
Sam took his time in replying. The delay was significant.
“No,” Sam said softly but firmly.
“ I don’t believe you, Sam. Why did you use a timer? Why did
you want to delay the bomb?”
