LEAGUE TO
HIDE FACTS
Testimony in Such Cases
Must Come From Under
world of Crime,
By HERBERT QUICK

EV7 HEN a public officer becomes a
wv CRATER he does not tell decent
- people about It. He has to have
people in on it; but they must belong
to the underworld of graft. They are
his fellow-criminals.
When such a grating official is in
vestigated the evidence must come
largely from this underworld. So
many Of the witnesses must be shady
people. Testimony of such people
usually fits into facts and records ana
makes a case which is clear.
Detectives are often people with
questionable attitudes toward graft.
Not always, perhaps not usually, but
often they are.
When a detective appears in a big
graft case with a huge mass of rec
ords. he at once becomes a person Of
great Importance to the man under
Investigation.
Records or Detectives
If that man is guilty there are two
things. one of which he feels he must
do. First, ne must get those rec
ords if he can. Second, if he cant,
he must get the detective who has the
records.
If the grating official has been cut
ting up money with rich and Unscrup-
ulOus contractors or violatOrs Of the
law, he has on his side of the case
every one of these big thieves. They
want to get those records or get the
detective as badly as does the accused
CRATER. If it is a local matter, every
big local thief is with the accused. If
it is on a National scale, every thief
in the National Government is with
the National CRATER. The detective
who is a witness with the huge mass
Of records is assailed on two sides. He
may be robbed of his records by the
big thieves. He may be bribed by
them to lose" them
Take Your Choice
When he comes before the invesh-
gators and says he has lost his rec
ords. one of two things has happened.
He has lost them; or he has been cor
rupted by the big thieves and has
turned traitor. You may take your
choice as TO which you believe. One
or the other you must believe.
In either case, the verdict must be-
that powerful influences have been at
work to get rid of him or his evidence.
What influences? Who benefit by the
loss of the papers or the loss Of the
man?
You can answer the question with
