Monroe.
A stock-jobbing gamble.
Jay.
Come, come, Mr. Monroe. You have only the man's word for that.
Schuyler.
The word of a man who is arrested for perjury.
Monroe.
[Turning to Schuyler.] Reynolds gives conclusive evidence that Mr. Hamilton gave him advance information of the proposed Government Assumption of States' Debts; that he gave him the money to buy up the paper at bargain prices; and that his share in the spoils will be five million dollars.
Hamilton.
[Genuinely surprised.] So that's what he told you, did he? That's the reason for the whole—thing.
Monroe.
And there are the proofs of the money you gave him.
Hamilton.
[After a pause and looking through letters.] Thirty dollars—twenty-five dollars—one hundred dollars Very modest amounts for purposes of speculation.
Jay.
Very.
