til John was arrested on the
charge of using his office to OBJ

ness, she realized that he un.
doubtedly was guilty of the
charges.
The County Prosecutor had
proved that almost without a
doubt and she was pretty sure the
jury believed it. What interested
Emily now was the way her atti-
tude toward John and the case
had changed.
She went back two months in
her mind. Two months ago. the
Glenville Bugle had limited at the
guilt of "a public official" which,
the Bugle said, had become ap-
parent in its investigation of the
local slot machine racket.
The headquarters Of the racket
was in a larger and nearby city.
From it, the machines were car
ried to strategic points through
out Glenville, stores, saloons, bus
terminals and pool rooms.

ing several machines. The Mayor
was John.
The Bugle had not stopped
there. It had delved deeper and
had found that John had bought
a new car and had rented and
moved into a house in the most
exclusive neighborhood in Glen
vile. The rent was $3.50 a month.
The car cost 81, 500 and John had
paid cash for it. His salary as
commissioner was $2,1OO a year.
His salary in the New York bank
which employed him was $4,000 a
year.
The final phase Of the investi-
cation had shown that he had a
bank account of $4,000. This had
been started within the year.
All this was what Emily and the
people here in the courtroom ana
all the people in Glenville knew
now. When the charges first were
made, John had come to Emily
and told her about them.

Suddenly she found herself be-

her life and see nothing larger
than a venial sin. She was

When she married John Trainor

She bore John two children and
her love increased. She spent her
