w. A. s. Graham, the murdered may
or's secretary, and another gentleman
we'll known in local financial circles.
Graham, who knew Prendergast. intro
duced him to his friend, and both gen.
tlemen noticed that the man was labor
ing under intense excitement. Pres
emily, without any remarks having
been exchanged to lay foundation for
what was coming, Prendergast burst
into bitter denunciatiOn of the mayor.
Not imagining for moment that
Prendergast cherished any thought of
murder in his heart, Secretary Graham
adroitly changed the subject. The
mans excitement gradually subsidized,

any more on the subject, and secretary
Graham regarded it as so trivial that, 80
far as is known, he did not mention the
subject to his chief.
