In several instances I am reliably advised they have used the expression: ‘We have ahe money and are willing to give it to you if you | help us.’ It is not Hearst alone, but there are other interested parties in the can- spiracy, and with the main purpose of injuring me they combined their ef- forts, T have nothing further to add, except that the arrest of Mr. MacRey- nolds Is only the-beginning, and other conspirators will have tlie same op- portunity to square th ves with a jury of honest people.” TWO PERSONS SUFFOCATED.
