and found lot of correspondence showing
plot TO remove a number of prominent

One of the New York magazines published
an article upon the subject. One of the
annoyances to which men in conspicuous
station are subjected especially when news.
papers are interested in creating antago-

watch for these people. Through my term
there was scarcely week in which threat.

once in while came a suspicious package
which James dumped into bucket of
water and then took apart. Among them
were many curious devices.
