years this fanatically ardent partisan
has broken thru all restraint which de-
tiers better men and has unhesitatingly
sacrificed every other obligation to So
ciety and to himself in the secret serv-

sonal check to Mr.. Bliss and was re-
imbursed by a check Of the New York
Life Insurance Company-No. 1898

proceeds Of this check were traced to
Mr.. Perkins and for this eminent serv-
ice he was arrested under a warrant
charging him with grand larceny.
