...with Sheridan, his "best friend" (Matt Moore). Follows a prison break in which Hart escapes and returns to his home, vengeance-bent. As he enters he overhears his spouse retailing to Sheridan how she saved her husband from his enemies' submachine guns. Remorse stings him and with an amazing lack of logic for such a hard man he walks from his home into the trap he has laid for Sheridan...

Causes of this were: 1) unfavorable taxation features in its present charter; 2) the lack of marketability in its highly priced, closely held stock.

In 24 hours he drew a complete concrete factory so accurately and imaginatively that were it built today no vital changes would be made. The ingenuity with which he overcame early lack of materials is prodigious. While building the first commercial electric light plant he was forced to invent switches, cables, fuses, even the friction tape for splices. So sincere, so acquisitive is the admiration of Author Ford for his great & good old friend that he has transplanted to Dearborn the entire...
