Miriam spoke suddenly. "Pete Shoyer has killed men for a few hundred dollars of reward money. Wouldn't such a man kill for what gold was on one of those mules?"
Swante Taggart drew a long breath. It was this he had been considering. There were men he knew who would not kill except in the name of the law - but there were others who would. The distinction between the peace officers of the time and the outlaw was either sharply drawn or it was scarcely drawn at all.
(from Taggart, by Louis L'Amour)
