May 14 Saturday – Sam wrote from Hartford to Charles Webster. Sam was still hot on the heels of Dan Slote and Sneider.

“Yes, it will doubtful be well to finish with Sneider & then tackle Dan. In order to force Sneider, though, you may find it necessary to hint to Dan that if S.’s case comes into court Dan will probably be proceeded against as a party to the swindle. Dan hopes to get out by simply dropping S. & leaving us to force him to terms” [MTBus 155].

Charles Webster wrote to Sam. “We have had that talk with Alexander & Green. Slote has told them enough to convict Sneider if it is true, and I have no doubt it is. …Alexander & Green propose to haul him [Sneider] up before Judge Patterson under a charge of getting money under false pretenses” [MTP].
