Even tho the doctors money was
given and received without any taint
OF graft, this method of Putnam's IL

For, whenever DR.. Matthews twid-
died his thumb, Sergeant Putnam was
sure to dance attention.
And he danced often, for the par

He danced at least once too often

Plotting and contemplating may

was an employe of the city, not of
Dr. Matthews.
Because he failed to distinguish
this, Sergeant Putnam, man of
courage and integrity, is lost to the
city.

urges the need of discipline. Sergeant
