One of his best friends has since told me that there was more honor among horse-thieves than this man had shown towards me.

I put into the business between four and five thousand dollars, worked hard almost a year, and have received about five hundred dollars.

---- is trying to scare me by threatening to sue me for perjury; so that if he could make me fool enough to pay the debts of -- -- & Co., he would have just so much more to put into his own pocket.

When he can get a grand jury to find a true bill against me for fraud or perjury, I will promise to go to Wethersfield and stay there the remainder of my life, without any further trial.

After all that I have said, I think of him just as all his neighbors do; for they have told me that it was the common talk among them, when I first went into his factory, that he would in some way cheat me out of every dollar that I put into his hands.
