Secret Service Chief Wilkie informs William Loeb that the letter from the German Ambassador which Loeb mentioned contained a lot of “information” from an informant who specialized in anarchist matters. Wilkie relays what the informant has told him, but does not believe him. Over the past seven years, Wilkie has investigated this informant’s information repeatedly and found it to be false. Even so, Wilkie recognizes there could be a grain of truth in what the informant says.
