Burns told him he had already re-
ceived Burns scorned the offer at
first, saying that he was no 500 man;
that he was not going to introduce the
bill in the legislature and have the
other persons in the deal make large
amount while he had just little.
Burns threatened, so Salisbury swore,
that he would tack on a referendum
clause to the bill wanted by the pro
moters unless he was given $4,000.
Finally Salisbury told him to put in
the bill and to say nothing about the
$4,000 until the bill became law, in.
