 Ills description of his meeting with Alexander Sullivan is as follows:
 McDougall, or Williams, whom he knew in Kansas, had asked him to come to the rooms in Clark street. He says: '(We went upstairs, and Williams, or Mack, as I called him, lit the lamp. We sat down, and he said: What do you think of a man who can sit here and smoke 1O-cent cigars. and pay, too, for smoking themT
 II replied, There's something good going on, isn't thereT He said: Yes, there is.' referring to a copy of a con spiracy pamphlet lying on the table. asked Has this anything to do with 1t? He said :'You noed not guess again.
 Turning to Williams I said: Tell m ( something about this thing. What Is there in it?
 "He said: There's a a- sight in 1t for man who will only keep his mouth shut. Look here, we may want to use you and you will be well paid for It..
