'bucSing' against It. On the contrary you win in
volve yourself in all sorts OF difficulties Take my
advice, then, and let the ring alone. Instead OF
going TO A. J. (which means Andrew Johnson, see
some Of the ring and sell out. The ring pays well,
and can afford it,"
Smiths response to this is that he did not come
to make money on one side or she other. He came
here as good citizen to expose fraud, which he
tended to do In spite OF every obstacle and difficulty
Or possibly Smith may be accessible to the seduc-
tive allurements OF greenbacks, In which case he
magnines the nature and Importance OF his intended
disclosures, says as poor mana very poor man
who has nothing but his good name as capital, he
feels it hrs duty to turn honest penny on the side
OF justice and that he really must do II, no matter
who suffers. Smith Is then treated to delightful
view OF all that is to be gained by not doing 1t, and
when the picture becomes what ne considers sum-
ciently tempting he gradually yields and consents
TO turn an honest penny" in q very different
way than he originally intended. so Smith Is dis
posed OF satisfactorily, and perhaps Jones' and
Brown and Robinson. But those who don't succumD
are warned that they will repent their rashness when
they md themselves arrested and indicted, with tar
nished regulations and nothing but the conscious
ness OF their own rectitudc to sustain them.
This Is no fancy picture. It is what ia said to oc-
cur every day, not only here, but in New York and
other parts OF the country.
favorite plan OF the ring when they find their
operations are In danger OF being ventilated by
honest investigations, Is TO hire some vile fellow to
make bogus charges against officials in danger OF
exposure. This vile fellow presents himself
70 the honest prosecutor, states that he
is delighted 10 know that Collector Thingumbob
is abont to be brought to punishment;
that he knows Of many rascally transactions OF
Thingumbob, and that he Is ready to back up his
fhrnyy aR
his guard, proceeds to take tho sworn statement Of
this bogus accuser, and thus fortified with what ne
considers strong array OF damning facts lays the
charges before the President subordinate Of
the chief executive charged with the duty OF trying
such cases. The day Of examination comes, the
bogus accuser goes the stand, and there, instead
OF backing up what he previously swore to volun-
tary, boldly takes il all back, declares that he was
bribed to make an untruthful affidavit before, that
the charges all sham and that his conscience Will
not allow him to 60 any further with the dishonest
business.
Thus the honest prosecutor is at one and the same
time turned away from the proper scent and finds
himself kicked out OF court amid the jeers and rd
cule OF the very whom he Is morally certain
guilty OF defrauding the government. Worse still,
he finds he has changed places with the accused.
They are now the accusers and he the accused.
They indict him and force him to adopt the defen-
sive.
This very plan ia said to have been pursued In the
case OF some OF the accused officials New York,
and furnishes key to the somewhat amusing fall.
