“No, I am not satisfied,” said Mr. Smith, “and I wish a gentleman in whom I have much confidence to exchange a few words with you.”
A moment later Murray entered the office and addressing the lawyer who was acting for Fellman said:
“How far, sir, are you implicated in this fraud?”
“How dare you?” fumed the lawyer.
Murray showed his badge.
“Oh, I see!” ejaculated the lawyer with a sneer. “You wish to scare us, eh? You mean to bulldoze us—blackmail us.”
“You didn’t answer my question.”
“No, sir, I repudiate the insinuations of fraud in behalf of my client.”
“You do?”
“I do, sir.”
