Senator Walsh. Democrat. Montana,

Sinclair, declined to comment.
Il was the opinion Of senate law
yers that the acquittal Of Doheny
would not affect the conviction Of
Albert b. Fall Of bribery by the Cali

that Falls trial and conviction Of
bribery by Doheny stands separately.

CHAPTER ELEVEN
"TE are living in an effeminate
Wv world Tho 1yol,,hIe y1ot,iote

N/E are living IN an efeminate
w world. The voluble patriots
picture the law as a gaunt and
powerful force with rigidly just
and uncompromiSing arm. But you
and I know that this arm, which
is the police. is the arm of an old
woman, slow to move, deliberate
calculating, meticulously fussy.
1t is 9 o'clock of a sharp Mon
day morning. Not blue, mind you,
but sharp. And clear.
The superintendent of police is
seated at mis- desk in his Office writ
ing a memorandum. His secretary
enters and places before him the
mornings mail. all letters opened
but their respective envelopes fast
ened securely to them.
He reads the letter on top of the
pile, makes a notation in one cor
ner. and puts it to one side. He
takes up the next letter, and the
next. repeating this process until
the pile has dwindled to three let
tiers.
The next is not so much a letter
as a note. 1t is on half a sheet OF
neat stationery, and is so badly
written that the superintendent has
some difficulty in reading it. OBJ
viously, however, he finds it more
than commonly interesting. for he
leans back in his swivel chair and
reads it a second, third time.
Then he speaks to his secretary
The door between their Offices is
open. Have Captain Leroy come in
at once.a
Captain Leroy is on the desk,
