Another question - if the Garretts had raised strong suspicions from the very beginning and had had the idea that the "Boyds" might have been the assassins of the president (who "had better not come this way" not to be gobbled up...), and on the first evening someone of the family had quietly slipped away to report to the police and the assassins had successfully been arrested - would they have gotten a portion of the reward? A major portion?
