good investment. l found out afterward
that he supplied me this stock at profit on
the price he got it at from the syndicate of

Mr.. Camp unloaded $50 shares of fiuan-

cent. dividends. Mr. Camp also unloaded
stock of the American exchange upon Lee.
whose power over Camp to hold the clear

Lees ability to expose Camps duplicity.
Mr. Camp has received many valuable pres

NEWTON SQUIRE"
WHAT THE TROUBLE Is ABOUT.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Squire was arrested
in civil action brought against him by
Homer Lee, widely-known business man,
and was incarcerated in Ludlow street jeil.
After the arrest, Squire was suspended from
his office as a sort Of deputy or the man next
in authority to Mr.. Camp at the clearing
house. When the courts came to pass upon
the case, Mr.. Squire was exonerated, and
there was some Indication that the court
was angry at what seemed TO it like an at
tempt TO use the power OF arrest to
bring about settlement of financial differ
ences. Mr.. Squire either has brought suit
for false Imprisonment, or purposes doing
so. He expected, as soon as be was vim
dictated by the courts. to be reinstated In
his Office at the clearing house, but that
has not been done, and, being notified. and
moreover somewhat angry, be has brought
these accusations against Mr.. Camp aud
courts investigation, saying that he can
prove them all.
