Naturally she figured she'd have time to tell the person she was blackmailing that she was through with him or her, but I believe Sprague and Nita were lovers, even partners in blackmail, and that she feared he would kill her when he knew she was going to marry Ralph Hammond and give up their source of income." Sanderson considered for a long minute, pulling at his full lower lip.
I thought that you were in Baker Street working out that case of blackmailing." "That was what I wished you to think." "Then you use me, and yet do not trust me!" I cried with some bitterness. "I think that I have deserved better at your hands, Holmes."
He did not suppose for a moment that William Grant would have run his neck into a bigamy noose; and it would put the young lawyer in a very awkward position with Mary Grant if, after saving her life and posing as her friend, he carried on a blackmailing suit against her.
The young advertising agent stood against the fence in silent horror, his heart bumping heavily. His hands were clammy, his feet seemed to have grown larger and taken root. What damnable complot was this? A sultry wave of anger passed over him. This bland, slick, talkative bookseller, was he arranging some blackmailing scheme to kidnap the girl and wring blood-money out of her father?
This blackmailing must stop. Miss Lovelace knows something, thanks to you, but she shall never know all never never. You you ugh! Stop. Do you think you can hold me back now with those little white hands on my wrists? I wrench them loose so and ugh! What's this? Where am I?"

The attack in the hands of Serjeant Armstrong was still more deadly and convincing.
You must contrive to shut Bennett's mouth. Give him money, if he wants it up to ten pounds. But, of course, do not say that it comes from me. You can, of course, pose as my friend, as you have done before. I shall be at the usual place to-night. "Looks as though there's been some blackmailing," one of the constables remarked. "Who's Bennett?"
The Solicitor- General opened the case, and then called his witnesses. One of the first was Edward Shelley, who in cross-examination admitted that he had been mentally ill when he wrote Mr. Wilde those letters which had been put in evidence. He was "made nervous from over-study," he said. Alfred Wood admitted that he had had money given him quite recently, practically blackmailing money.
Can you by any chance give me a description of the person who sent it?" He leaned over and addressed the clerk in a low tone. "I am a detective," he said. "The telegram is part of a blackmailing scheme." The man looked at him for a moment, and then consulted with an older man, evidently his superior. The latter came forward. "I received this message myself, sir," he said.
Indirectly I was the cause I do not seek to excuse anything; but it was the sorrow and the shame that killed him. As to Barclay, the chemist, that is another matter. I will not deny that I was concerned in that mysterious disappearance, which was a seven days' wonder in the Press. I could not permit my scientific calm to be interrupted by the blackmailing visits of so insignificant a person.
