bad luck in that his finest automo-

/ can assure you that it is no source
of grief to me that Mr.. Lampy had

got onto the system of embezzlemen
My only regret is that he was not put
onto the job in December. 1914. Then
there would have been all the youch.

got a charge of forgery as well as
embezzlement. On account Of his
special knowledge of municipal ac-
counting and the Irregularities which
he has become familiar with he very
likely would have unearthed some
