than the professional briber The man
who makes il a business TO accomplish
his purposes by bribing his fellow-men to
do a dishonest act is an enemy 10 so

studies his victim well before he makes
a direct offer. indeed, his offers are
rarely made directly. lie begins by work

intended victim. and follows 1t up by Nat
terry and cajolery, ana sometimes by ar
