may force themselves at will into official

remains that almost anybody, with a

make the rounds at least once or twice
and pass muster in a crowd with the best

have fled out of the back door had they

general surprise when an investigation
conducted by the commissioner Of pat

Office, for having stolen $09.05 from a
safe in that office. He had been chief
clerk of the office for more than three
years and had received a salary of $500
