barney knew a speculator named charles morse. and a partner, frederick hines, schemed to manipulate copper's price on wall street. copper was a hot item many people speculated on. there is debate, historically over the extent of barney's involvement, but many believe he made the behind-the-scenes arrangements as the morse-hines combine began setting its trap in early 1907. historian robert sobel explains. hines came to new york where he met morse a small-time speculator. their plan was to get several banks behind them and use the banks' assets to create a new copper company united copper, push the stock up, and squeeze those people who sold the stock thinking it would go down. what happened? the stock market was heading downward because of a money crunch. the economy was overheating. many people were frightened of a crash. they took their gold out of the banks. people knew the knickerbocker was connected with united copper, which started to collapse. depositors started to appear and said, "give us our gold," and the money started

there's a lot of hope that they're just after barney and that after destroying barney's flotilla they'llard their ships and move back into the bay. so one of the results of all of this indecision is that the american commander general william winder doesn't do a very effective job of doing anything in terms of setting up defenses around washington. in terms of mustering much of a force. he's getting very little support from the secretary of war, john armstrong, who even at this late date with british troops on the ground in maryland and moving in the direction of the capital still maintains that washington is under no threat whatsoever. and he thinks it's much more likely that the british are either after barney or going to go up to baltimore. which at the time was a much bigger city than washington. baltimore, 40,000 people, third largest city in the united states. one of the really important ports in the country. where washington at this time was not much more than a village. 8,000 people in the city, of course it's home to the federal government with the white house and the capital. b
