David ClarkNARRATOR

David ClarkNARRATOR
It's not a take-it-or-miss-it government concern.
David ClarkNARRATOR
It's a dead earnest business proposition that's out for results and keeps out till by hook or crook it gets them.
David ClarkNARRATOR
If a Pinkerton man is deep in this business, we're all destroyed.
David ClarkNARRATOR

Carter RoyNARRATOR
It was definitely enough to reopen the case.
Carter RoyNARRATOR
Even better, in late 1894, Gary got the go-ahead to hire some Pinkerton detectives to find Holmes.
Carter RoyNARRATOR
The Pinkertons had originally specialized in protecting trains and apprehending train robbers, and by this point were a wide-ranging detective agency.
Carter RoyNARRATOR
If anyone could find Holmes, it was them.
Carter RoyNARRATOR
The Pinkerton detectives began their search at Holmes' building in Chicago that simultaneously served as a retail space, apartments, and lodgings.
Carter RoyNARRATOR
There were plenty of people associated with the building who were upset with him for skipping town, especially because he left a trail of unpaid bills in his wake.
Carter RoyNARRATOR
Eventually, the Pinkertons' investigation led them to a financial agent named Frank Blackman.
Carter RoyNARRATOR
He told them that Holmes had asked him to forward his mail, but it was tricky since Holmes was always on the move.

Trap Lore RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, what's really interesting is, I'm not gonna lie, the judge kind of kicked off this morning in a little bit of a bad mood.
Trap Lore RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There were some of Durk's lawyers that kind of kept bringing up this controversial Pinkerton instruction.
Trap Lore RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The judge kind of said, "Look, I've made it clear.
Trap Lore RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm, I'm taking your objection to this." They're going in there.
Trap Lore RossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
