Tony Wendice further manipulates Captain Lesgate by revealing that he has evidence that could incriminate him in the murder plot.

He mentions that he gave Lesgate the money for the murder plot, and in return, Lesgate provided Tony with the letter he needed as part of the scheme. By mentioning the letter's existence and how it contains Lesgate's fingerprints, Tony makes it clear that he has a means to implicate Lesgate if he tries to back out or expose Tony's plans.
