Hints at Use of Money “Whenever wealth and influence: are brought to the bar of jugtice every; sinister and corrupt practice is used: in an effort to free the accused. It is: always easy to convict a poor man.’ The wealthy malefactors are the onea who find means of using their wealth | to their advantage.
