Excerpt from Written in Red or the Conspiracy in the North Case, (a Story of Boston)
The private office of North & Stackhouse, State Street, bankers and brokers, contained on the morning of Friday, June 16, 1887, a group of anxious and excited men, whose conversation plainly indicated that their uneasiness was caused by the continued and unexplained absence of Paul North, the senior partner.
In State Street circles, North & Stackhouse were classed among the "plungers." For the first two years of the firm's existence, indeed, there had been but slight departure from the conservative policy followed by Mr. North, who, when in the brokerage business on his own account, had been content with a modest office in a comparatively quiet street leading eastward from Post Office Square.
But, under the lead of Mr. Stackhouse - an energetic man of forty, ten years his partner's junior -banking had been added to brokerage; and the firm had become widely known as the promoter of many daring enterprises.
