1t was only by an accident after
all that Belknap was caught. Such
things as he was guilty of are nine-
ty-nine times in a. handred safely
managed by adroftress and lying. :.
Marsh, however, did not belong TO
the most knaVish class. He was en-
ticed into it by the accident Of Mrs.
Bell1nap being sick at his house. He
was not on the search for good
thing like the villains about the Ma
Wy, the Post Office, the Interior De-
partment, the War preserves, and
elsewhere. These chaps are all OF
the Addition, Division, and Silence
school, They cannot be caught, be-
cause they won't confess. They get
their money, share it with the Gov.
ernment officials, and say nothing or
lie. There are no witnesses in the
case, only principals. Marsh seems
to have gone unwittil.sIy. into the
business because it WAS suggested
by the wife of a Cabinet officer and
sanctioned by the head of the War
Department, To Kim it seemed a
