Subjected to a rigid cross-examination, Judson had insisted that a part, at least, of his drunken recollection was real that part identifying the voices of the two plotters in Cat Biggs's back room as those of Rufford and Hallock.
"A man who may try to carry out the Ford idea," he qualified; adding, "The desert will get hold of him and eat him alive, as it has the others." "Maybe," said Hallock thoughtfully. Then, with sudden heat, "It's hell, Gridley! I've hung on and waited and done the work for their figure-heads, one after another. The job belongs to me!" This time Gridley's smile was a thinly veiled sneer.
Down, down, down goes the berg, and woe to the boat in its way when it rises again to the surface." Charles Hallock in "Our New Alaska," pp. 172-733: "The glacier wall overhung us with its mighty majesty, three times the height of the steamer's mast or more, and we seemed none too far away to escape the constantly cleaving masses which dropped from its face with deafening detonations.
Gridley, clad like a gentleman, and tilting comfortably in his chair as he smoked a cigar that neither love nor money could have bought in Angels, was jocosely sarcastic. Hallock, shirt-sleeved, unkempt, and with the permanent frown deepening the furrow between his eyes, neither tilted nor smoked.
"I told you she wasn't the kind to forget her old friends in spite of the grand life she's walked into! I knew she'd come back to see us " "It is business which brings her now, Hallock, and grim business, too," Mr. Larkin interposed. "She wanted you and Henry here as her friends and witnesses, and there's apt to be a rather ugly scene." "Do you mean she's coming right now, that she's here?"
Gridley was the man who jumped the passenger at Crosswater Hills, and took up the rail to ditch Clay's freight with Hallock chasing him and trying to prevent it.
With the warrant in his pocket, a magistrate's order calling for the arrest and detention of Rankin Hallock on the double charge of train-wrecking and murder, Lidgerwood left Schleisinger's, meaning to go back to the Crow's Nest and have McCloskey put the warrant in Judson's hands.
He did say something about a mahogany tree close by, that grew up with two outstretched branches like a cross and then turned to stone, but I'm not letting my peons loaf on the job while I go moseying around looking for it." "It's a great little ranch you have here." Thode turned in his chair to survey the close-packed avenues of low-hanging trees. "Any oil on your land, Mr. Hallock?" "Not here.
When he found it was Hallock, he went home and thought no more about it till I got him to talk." Lidgerwood had gone back to the pencil and the blotting-pad and the making of squares. "But the motive, Mac?" he questioned, without looking up. "How could the theft or the destruction of a locomotive serve any purpose that Hallock might have in view?"
This undertaking gave his paper much valuable prestige. In 1833, Hale and Hallock of the Journal of Commerce started a rival line that enabled them to publish Washington news within forty-eight hours, thus giving their paper a big "scoop" over all competitors.
