Detective Franklin has been a man

of Detective Burns that men of the
Franklin type are "the worst lot Of
Matchmaking scoundrels that live out

1t will take more than the word of
FRANKLIN to convince the honest ana
falr-minded people of the country
that either Mr.. barrow or Mr.. Com

would be contrary to their whole life
