"Have you such a cable with you?"
Matheson ignored the retort. "You've told my wife and my father-in-law that I was alive."
"I knew you were alive. Is that your idea of fraud?"
"I'm not going to quibble over words. Believing me to be dead, you had me impersonated, planning to use my name on the Hudson Bay scheme."
"I've not used your name."
"You used it to induce St Aubyn and Carleton-Wingate to come on the Board."
"If you're thinking to prove that, you merely waste your time. The negotiations were carried out by your father-in-law."
"You used my name to a reporter on the Europe Chronicle."
"Have you written evidence of that?"
"Martin will swear to it, if necessary."
