he asked if I would give it to him for $2. My cost
was $3.20, and I told him I would let him have it for
$3.20, the cost price. But he said it was too dear. He
said the most he would give for it was $2.

Well, I must explain it to you. It was this way. Wo
did not complete the purchase of it, and he took the
$10 and went away. The plan came two or three days
afterwards, and I told him about it, and afterwards,
after four or five days, a detective came to my shop.
I did not dare to tell him, about it. Then Inspector
Lee came seven or eight days after the detective.
What did the detective come for, Did he say anything ↑
He asked me if I had given $10 to Inspector Lee.
Inspector Lee came seven or eight days afterwards, and he again spoke about buying an umbrella. I wanted $4, and reduced it to $3.20. He offered $2. I said to Les
"dont you come and trouble me. It is not my own
business". I said "there are a great many others in it; I said " a detective came here. I did not speak about

the matter, but if you trouble me I wont respect your
face".
