From The Colemans Book 3 The Knife

Caleb was shaving and Zack, sitting on the edge of his bed, was pulling on his moccasins when someone began pounding on their door.
"Open up, Senior Coleman. This is Constable Betancourt."
The brothers looked at each other. It wasn�t yet seven in the morning.
"Open up, Senior," the constable ordered again as he pounded even harder, his tone one of growing agitation.
"All right," Caleb said. "Hold on."
Caleb opened the door to see the Mexican constable standing between two men armed with shotguns.
"What can I do for you?" Caleb asked.
"Are you Caleb Coleman?"
"You know I am."
"You are under arrest, Senior. You will come with me."
Zack stepped up alongside his brother as Caleb asked, "What am I under arrest for?"
"The murder of Colonel Edmund Cabot."
Zack�s mouth dropped open. Caleb hadn�t killed the Colonel. What kind of mix up could this be?
"I didn�t kill anybody," Caleb said. "Least wise the Colonel. I intend to marry his daughter. Who here in Santa Fe doesn�t know that?"
"And who here in Santa Fe did not witness the fight you had with him yesterday? A brawl in the street. And who has not heard of the threat he made against you, and yours to him?"
"I didn�t threaten him. I just said he�d die trying. He said he was going to kill me and I said he�d die trying."
"And he is dead, Senior. And your knife was found in his chest. This is your knife," the constable said, producing an Arkansas toothpick with a white bone handle. There was still blood on the blade. "Is it not, Senior?"...
"Yes, that�s my knife," Caleb said.
