"What would you do with your contradiction?" "Give it to the papers," Hal answered. "But what papers would print it?" "There are two rival papers in Pedro, aren't there?" "One owned by Alf Raymond, the sheriff-emperor, and the other by Vagleman, counsel for the 'G. F. C. Which one would you try?" "Well then, the outside papers those in Western City.
There was "Dicky" Everson, like Hal, a favourite of the ladies, but nothing more; "Billy" Harris, son of another "coal man"; Daisy, his sister; and Blanche Vagleman, whose father was Old Peter's head lawyer, whose brother was the local counsel, and publisher of the Pedro Star. So Hal's eyes moved from face to face, and his mind from personality to personality.
He's the law-partner of Vagleman, counsel for the 'G. F. C. How far would you expect to get with him?" "I suppose I'm clutching at straws," said Hal. "But they say that's what a drowning man does. Anyway, I'm going to see these people, and maybe out of the lot of them I can find one who'll act. It can't do any harm!"
The District Attorney is a politician who favours the miners in his speeches, and favours us in his acts; while Judge Denton, of the district court, is the law partner of Vagleman, our chief-counsel. Do you get all that?" "Yes," said Hal. "I've heard of the 'Empire of Raymond'; I'm interested to see the machinery. You're quite open about it!"
"Then just one more question if you will pardon me, your Honour. Can you tell me where I can find an honest lawyer in this town a man who might be willing to take a case against the interests of the General Fuel Company?" There was a silence a long, long silence. Judge Denton, of the firm of Denton and Vagleman, stared straight in front of him as he walked.
