"It will have to be largely a case of bluff," he confided, "and we must make it stick. We have no time for lawing, and if we did, the shysters would get it all. Bart isn't easily buffaloed and will put up a stiff fight. Of course we've got the age on him those hides are a strong card but we're not going to have a walk-over. I can't see my way clear just yet, but it will work out as we go along.
Finally, Sussman and his assistant both swore positively that Delany had been in the back of the tobacco shop with his back to the door, holding them up for cigars, when the crash came. Terry wanted two columns; he almost cried when they cut his great big full-page story to: SHYSTERS ACCUSED OF EXTORTION
It might be well for the South to vary the program by lynching fewer rape-fiends and more shysters lawyers. Some months ago the ICONOCLAST paid its respects to the old line insurance companies. It demonstrated beyond the peradventure of a doubt that they are but so many cut-throat gambling concerns.
With a whoop, the spectators in the court-room crowded upon our heels and surged up to the grating before the door. "There's Gottlieb!" cried one. "The little fellow!" "And that's Quibble the pale chap with the thin face!" said another. "Damn you! Get out of the way!" I shouted threateningly. "There go the shysters!" retorted the crowd. "Sing Sing's the best place for them!"
Holy, once Manitou was a place to live in, now it's a place to die in! The factories, the mills, they're full of Protes'ants and atheists and shysters; the railway office is gone to Lebanon. Ingolby took it there. Manitou was the best town in the West; it's no good now. Who's the cause? Ingolby's the cause. Name of God, if he was here I'd get him by the throat as quick as winkin'."
It's been done, though, by little, pettifogging shysters, by piking real-estate crooks thousands of parcels of property scattered all over the United States have been filched in that manner. But a hundred-thousand acres! It's the biggest steal that ever has been attempted, to my knowledge, short of a Government grab, and your imagination does you credit. It's easy to see what's been done.
Much of this graft might readily be stopped, and the ignorant Indian protected, were it not for the fact that the relationship between the shysters and certain officials is very much like that between the police of New York City and the keepers of illegal resorts. When complaint is made, big envelopes with "U. S." printed in the corner pass back and forth and that is too often the end of it!
Yet when their chief asked me how I got on with Hawthorne, and I began to say that he was very shy and I was rather shy, and the king of Bohemia took his pipe out to break in upon me with "Oh, a couple of shysters!" and the rest laughed, I was abashed all they could have wished, and was not restored to myself till one of them said that the thought of Boston made him as ugly as sin; then I began to hope again that men who took themselves so seriously as that need not be taken very seriously by me.
"None of your pin-head two-by-four shysters that you see here in the East," exclaimed Mr. Sleighter. "I mean some folks, of course," he explained in some confusion. "And the children, did they like it?" inquired Mrs. Gwynne. "You bet they did. Why, they was all over the hull prairie, all day and all night, too, mostly on ponies you know." "Ponies!" exclaimed Larry. "Did they have ponies?
Naturalization papers were easily procured by a few months' residence in any State of the Union; and in default of legitimate papers, certificates of citizenship could be bought for a song in any American seaport, where shysters drove a thrifty traffic in bogus documents.
