II. h Holmes In his Chicago castle" is

fore he got back.

was q swindler. He called 1t trading.
Why, his place was full Of things-soda
fountains, household goods, all sorts Of
stuff-and then besides, he had several
drug stores, and, / believe, a lumber
yard. He had an agreement with cigar
house, q perfectly reputable concern, too,
I believe, by which he was to get SO much

he could sell. He used this agreement to
flim fam men who wanted to sell their
business or any thing else they had.

but he did give notes on cigars. He got
me to give him mine now and then to
help out. BY the time he realized how
hard 1t WAS to do this his store, soda foun-
balm or whatever 1t was, was jugglod
around so that it was impossible to follow
The changes. That was whero my notes
and other follows notes caiuo in. Things
ran on this way for about six months,

Ht my house, to which 1 objected, and
Holmes discharged me. After l left
