duce what money he had in his posses

woman.
The Chief took Alexander's star from
him and placed him under suspension.
In the previous trial the Wilson

And you have broken that word Of
honor, have you not?" asked Attorney

Yes, have, responded the Chief,
and in my experience Of twenty-five
years on the force il is the first time
that I have ever done so. was forced
