“What did you say to Rich?”
“I told him that I knew about the confession, and I knew where it was.”
“Was he frightened?”
“Yes. He held a conference with Darwin, and he then told me that they would let me know how much they would pay me.
“I demanded ten thousand dollars.
“We have had several conversations about the matter, and a few days ago I called on Darwin, and he gave me five thousand dollars on account.
“I then gave him a copy of the memorandum in regard to the papers having been left with the proprietor of the Red Dragon Inn.”
“Have you seen him since then?”
“Once.”
“Did he pay you any more money?”
