MANY men are better at stealing
than hiding, or making an escape.
Brent, for instance. had the whole
world before him, yet, such was hi
simplicity. that he took the most pub.
lie route known, over which, to flee to
an asylum Of safety. We are, indeed.
glad, TINT he did. A distinguished
Virginia lawyer once said that ''crin''
mails are always fools" 1t seems that
Providence has much to do with the
bringing to condign punishment, those
who who would plumber their conf
ding employers. and in the case Of
Brent. we have a confirmation Of the
rule.
