Act Ninety-Five: One Last Shoe Shine

When Gilbert saw the New Haven Times, he was initially a little frightened, and then a sneer fell on his face.

"Heh! It's too late to think about manipulating public opinion now!"

All levels of government in the United States are a bottom-up government. In the mid-nineteenth century, there was no such thing as a grievance system. The first instance is final, and the judgment of the first instance is the judgment to be enforced.

Although Gilbert's goal was not fully achieved, in his opinion, Doug Claydon, a little ghost, can't even protect his personal followers, so who will follow him to do things?

It's just that the objective world doesn't change anything because of the thoughts in Gilbert's mind.

The first issue of the New Haven Times was only 3,000 copies, of which 1,500 were sold in downtown New Haven, 500 were delivered to the towns below, and 1,000 were spread further afield by steamer.

The next day, the second issue of the New Haven Times went live.

The newspaper begins with the end of the front page of the first issue of the newspaper, which tells the story of the "murder case of the little shoe-shiner" from the beginning to the end.

The final verdict was very sad, and the little shoe-shiner was sentenced to death.

"What a pathetic little shoe-shiner!"

"Smith is so hateful! His family too, they all deserve to go to hell!"

"And the Mitos Company!

……

"Let's take one last look at the little shoeshiner!"

"yes! Let's take one last look!"

"Hey. ”

A sigh from nowhere.

New Haven's small citizen class, which relies on the well-developed manufacturing industry and seaport in the New Haven area, is quite numerous.

Although most of the time they are just a rabble, without a unified goal, without a unified program, they will not do much.

But once they gather and work for the same thing, their power cannot be underestimated.

Sales of the Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory's version of Monopoly began to rise again.

Doug, the owner of Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory, specially published a newspaper to thank consumers for their support.

At the same time, he promised to set up a foundation to help poor child laborers like the little shoeshiners. And, from the time of publication, for every copy of Monopoly sold by the Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory, a penny was injected into the foundation.

The foundation's mission is to enable child laborers to "have a book to read and a tomorrow." ”

It would have been useless to set up such a foundation before the case of the shoemaker had been reported.

However, after the report, things changed.

In addition to the bag man, good people who originally stayed away from "Monopoly" also began to buy "Monopoly".

At the same time, as more and more people hold Monopoly, the fame of Monopoly is growing.

The next Saturday after the judgment day.

Today is the day of the execution of the little shoe-shiner.

The sky is overcast.

It seems like there will be rain dropping at any moment.

Despite the bad weather, despite the fact that the execution site was on the outskirts of the rugged roads.

But there were still many people who went to the execution site either by horse-drawn carriage or on foot.

They walked slowly, silently, their steps firmly on the gravel path.

They saw off one person today, and that was the little shoeshiner.

Black leather shoes, black suit, black hat, black umbrella.

The little shoe-shiner, who was a little scared in his heart on the execution ground, saw that so many people had come specially for him, and tears flowed silently on his face.

Bound by a rope, he shouted at Doug, "Boss, let me shine your shoes one last time!"
