I have come here to warn you of the instant use to which I propose to put a certain document, signed by you and Littleson, Bardsley and Seth Higgins.

It seems that you have entered into a conspiracy to remove from their places in the Government of this country the men who are pledged to the fight against the Trusts which you control.

By chance that document has come into my hands.

I propose to let the people of America know what sort of men you are, who have become the virtual governors of the country." Stephen Weiss' surprise was exceedingly well simulated.
"I presume, Mr.Vine," he said, "that you are not here to poke fun at us.

Tell me, if you please, what document it is to which you refer." "I think," Vine answered, "that I need not enter into too close details.
It is a document which you and your friends signed at Phineas Duge's house, not many nights ago." Weiss rose to his feet, crossed the office, and turned the key in the lock of the door.
