North and South, Book II

North and South, Book II1986



Bradley:
This isn't an official visit, General, but I wanted to warn you ahead of time. [Constance enters carrying tea, the two men rise] I'd rather discuss this in private, sir.

George Hazard:
Unless it involves military secrets, Captain, I have nothing I want to hide from my wife.

Bradley:
[they all sit] Sir, from what I've been able to find out, the War Department has had complaints for almost two years about defective weapons made by Axol Iron Works. Do you know anything about such a company?

George Hazard:
No, I've never heard of them.

Bradley:
A formal investigation wasn't started until recently and they found that Axol Iron is a front for another arms manufacturer: Hazard Iron.

Constance Flynn Hazard:
Well, but that's ridiculous. George would never have anything to do with something like that?

Bradley:
They verified that these cannons were made from cheap metals which caused some of them to explode after prolonged use. I'm afraid some soldiers on the gun crews have been killed as a result.

George Hazard:
Oh my God...

Constance Flynn Hazard:
But everybody knows that while George was away, his brother Stanley was running the company.

Bradley:
Apparently the Generals signature appears on several incriminating documents which connect the two companies.

Constance Flynn Hazard:
Well then, someone forged his signature.

George Hazard:
And it had to be somebody from the inside.

Bradley:
Unfortunately you're going to have to prove that, sir.

Constance Flynn Hazard:
I don't believe this. My husband risked his life and undured great hardship in prison. How can his own government accuse him of such a crime?

Bradley:
Ma'm, I feel the same way, or I wouldn't be here. But I'm afraid all the evidence seems to be against you, General.

George Hazard:
Captain, you said this it was an unofficial visit. How much time do I have to prove my innocence?

Bradley:
I'm afraid they'll be swearing out a warrant for your arrest within the next few hours.

Constance Flynn Hazard:
Well can't you delay it?

Bradley:
I wish I could. I just found out this morning.

George Hazard:
What else can you tell us, Captain?

Bradley:
There seems to be a man named Morgan. Although there is no solid evidence against him, they suspect that he's involved in selling cheap metals to more than one foundry.

George Hazard:
Do you know where I can find him?

Bradley:
He does most of his business out of a tavern outside Philadelphia called Dillard's.
