Letters and telegrams sent me in New York where I was spending my vacation advised me that bodily harm awaited my return. Creditors took possession of the office and sold the outfit, and the Free Speech was as if it had never been.
They would have lynched the editor of the Free Speech for exercising the right of free speech if they had found me as quickly as they found The owners of the "People's Grocery."
I was ordered not to return. The Free Speech was suspended with as little compunction as the business of store broken up and the proprietors murdered.
