knowledge gave birth to what is known

The fakCr employs an agent to buy or
procure in some manner list of stock
holders in this concern.
Armed with this he prepares letter
head purporting to be that Of the COM

signs it with the signature Of one of his

The letter intimates that the stock
Of the legitimate company is precar-
ious, that the company is about to go on
the rocks. He gives the impression
that he, as special trustee, is looking
after the STOCKHOLDERS interests, and
he urges the stakeholder receiving the
letter to save what he can from the
wrcckage by trading his stock for "some-
thing much better"
This is the bait: "The way is now

you lost. But you can afford TO lose
five times If you win once. Here is your

were large and powerful and they
were, moreover, deeply incensed at
the treatment they had received at
the hands Of the white settlers.
This hostility led to a general at
