year. she learned that here was to
be reorganization Of some OF the
Lairon properties We hoped that.
during that. something would come
out which might help us. I Ind been

forgotten. and we thought could

near at hand SO could act II anything
did come out Lawrence met me at
Vancouver. We were about 10 start
east when ! received a message from
Mr. Warden did not know Warden
and | don't know now how he knew
who ! was or where he could reach
me. His message merely said he knew
! needed help and he was prepared to

me to see him at his house. You know
what happened when l tried to keep
the appointment.

having been ut my trial because you
were blind: l decided to take the train
with you and try to get possession Of

the cipher we had sometimes used In
communicating with each other. but
not knowing what name I was using
on the train. he addressed II to him
self, confident that II telegram
reached the train addressed to Law.
