No
such plan was ever attempted or worked out."
"How many agents are there?"
"There are eleven men."
"And where are all the documents?"
"Here in New York."
"Where are the plates?"
"The plates are all here in New York."
"Where will the distribution be made?"
"I have secured a furnished house. In that house we will have all the
goods and all the plates. The latter we will bury in the cellar, there
to lie forever until New York shall crumble and some future archaeologist
digs them up from the ruins to be put on the shelves of some future
museum. Yes, everything is complete."
"But these detectives?"
"We will go ahead and dispose of them. There must be no mistake. We will
secure them, take them on board a vessel we can secure, run them out to
sea, hang them and throw their bodies heavily-weighted overboard. That
is the plan; so let our good girl there, Libbie, carry out her plan. I
am here now; there will be no surprises, no rushing in of detectives. I
will have a well-armed and drilled force who will nail them all, and we
will quietly dispose of them. The game is all in our own hands. We have
nothing to fear. Our organization is too large, too far-reaching; and
when once we have made the sweep we will make good our agreements and
free every member of the gang that has been arrested.
