After the case was over he threw up his position as a Secret Service detective and remained in New York, pestering Alice beyond endurance.
Harry threw him out of the office at an early stage of the game.
He then wrote letters, threatening Harry's life.
Alice was deluged with silly love epistles; he dogged her in the streets and waylaid her when she came and went from her rooms on Waverly Place.
In short, he made himself such a nuisance that Old King Brady had him arrested and bound over to keep the peace.
His next and last move was to make a pretended attempt at suicide on Alice's door-step.
Again he was arrested and got the usual penalty.
Then he wrote a whining letter to Old King Brady, asking help to get out, and promising to go to Shanghai.
Alice interceded. He was released.
The Bradys thought they had good reason for believing that he had kept his word.
