It says: "It has developed that

" "Watson has been in the service of

or more. His treachery has been
copyrighted and syndicated. Every
r-stab at Sewall lias been bought and
'paid for. The price, set by Watson
. himself, upon these remarkable pro
ductions is approximately known.
In all, it is understood that he has
received something more than 1,500
for his articles.

"One article in particular is
worthy of note at this time. It was
published on the last Monday in

the price to $250 at this time, and
