s. p. BLlstia Of Saturday evening. pub
lish q ~four-column letter. which evil
IDENTIFY has its origin in the Office Of the

animus Of the monster suit instituted by
one John II. Burke, to recover some
SIS. 900, 900. alleged TO have been mis-.
appropriated by Flood and o'Brisn. and
Msckay and Fair. aud in order to do this
. succinct history Of the relations Of 5.
p. Dewey TO the BONANZA firm Is given.
That such . document as this would not
BE- allowed to 20 into print. unless pa
psrs and competent witnesses to the
truth Of il statements. were within easy
reach. 10 . ~self-svident proposition. and
the extraordinary facts brought TO light
by this expose may therefore Be accepted
by the public a. true in every material
particular. These facts brand Squire
p. Dewey ~ . blackm ailer Of the lowest
stripe. and when proven in q court OF
Law. ~ they undoubtedly will be. will Of
themselves kill the monster suit which
has been commenced by his agent, in
pursuance Of his threats to extort money
from Flood Il o'Brisn.
The document Is too long for repro.
duc.ion In our columns. but its purport
can be briefly given. After the great
nrs In Virginia. in 1875. Mr. Dewey be-
came alarmed for his dividends ON Con-
solidated Virginia. lie visited Mr..
Flood to sound" that gentleman ON
the subject. but tho only satisfaction he
received was the somewhat vague state
msnt that the trustees must decide
whether the dividend would be passed
or not. Mr.. Dewey thought he had a
'.poini " and Immediately sold his divi-
dsnds ION $1,000 shares) for half price
(S75. 000). and congratulated himself ON
doing . particularly smart thing. To
the conservation Of this model re-
former, how ever. the regular dividend
Of SO per share Was paid. and Mr..
Dewey. instead Of being s75. 900 ahead.
found himself just that much out. He
laid his loss to Mr.. Floods door. and
ever aincs has beou engaged in a vain
attempt to sxtort ths amount from that
gentleman by . series Of blackmailing
operations, which have nov eliminated
in the Sc, 600. 900 suit.
The progress Of the plot Ia amply de-
scribsd in the document under review.
Here il an extract In which Mr.. Dewey
fairly gives himself away.
