16/33 "I paid in money; I did not give you a check. There's not an exculpatory scrap at bank or broker's in your defense. You make a deal; you are crowded for margins; you have my French shares in your pocket as my agent in another transaction; you offer them; the broker will not accept, they do not have my signature; you are back in five minutes with a forgery, and obtain the money you require. The thing is complete; I tell you, Harley--Mr.John Harley--you are trapped. There is no escape; I have my knee on your neck." Mr.Harley, still white, was beginning to regain his mental feet. |
