known. No explanation was given OF
this settlement. When checking ~
was made II was found that some Of
the postage receipts Med had = ssis-
picious look. Effort was made to ver-
ify them. but nothing could be done.
They had to be accepted on their face.
There was not a particle Of evidence OF
any crookedness. But the $500 check
was not explained. Inter move was
made to investigate further. and he-

so suspicious had completely disap-
