I won't say anything of his spying--well, he used to say himself he was looking for out-of-the-way facts and what is that if not spying?
He was spying into everybody's business.

He got hold of Captain Morrison, squeezed him dry, like you would an orange, and scared him off to Europe to die there.

Everybody knows that Captain Morrison had a weak chest.

Robbed first and murdered afterwards! I don't mince words--not I.Next he gets up that swindle of the Belt Coal.

You know all about it.
