framed up

I know quite well that Ackerman or Garwood framed up that cinch contract.

How do I know what that sour old pill, Travers, has framed up on me?

You say I have framed-up a lot of false-hoodsa tissue of liesin that affidavit the lawyer at Mrs. Ralstons drew up.

"He's framing up something—or he's got it framed up and is ready to act," he told the girl.

His face became graver as he thought, and then, with the ready wit of his kind, he framed up a tactful excuse.
