In the rear room of a small frame building the front of which was occupied as a coal office located on West Lake street Chicago three men were seated around a square pine table. The curtains of the window were not only drawn inside but the heavy shutters were closed on the outside. A blanket was nailed over the only door of the room and every thing and every action showed that great secrecy was a most important factor of the assembly.
