What is your offer for settlement?” Without examining them or even learning the names of the plaintiffs it was declared the agent for the com- pany would make an offer and then keep increasing it until the lawyer accepted, Then the “blanket” amount | Would be split up for a quit claim in each of the cases, The story was told to Mr, Rytten- berg in the presence of a number of men who have had « part in the in- |Vestixation, and was verified by @ rep-| way chiefly perjury, that I believe the| fulness.
