Bein United tes, upon whom has been laid burdens ey responsibilities such as or iRadlow kin with qreai wed | him great strength. ed fim Thy will, thus intercepted, it was never passed on to Japan. Attention is called to the fact that in his instructions Zimme man stipulated that Minister Eckhardt, at Mexico City, should ‘only broach the matter to President Carranza “as soon as it is : tain that there will be an outbreak of war with the United States.” ~ “They found the marked money on him.” Sounds like sure enough positive evi- dence, doesn’t it? But stop a minute. A police stool pigeon with a bottle of whisky in his pocket enters a drug store and, giving the druggist a marked $10 bill, purchases a quarter's worth of cigars. The stool pigeon then gives the waiting cops the signal. They enter the drug store and find the marked $10 in the cash drawer. The stool pigeon ex- hibits the bottle of whisky and claims he bought it with the marked $10. THE INNOCENT DRUGGIST WAS CAUGHT “WITH THE MARKED MONEY ON HIM.” A crook with a grievance enters the office of a public official and while the official's back is turned slips a roll of marked bills into a drawer of the desk. He rere in. an.officer,.accuses the official of having a bribe, says the marked money is now in his desk and dares the official to open a certain drawer? The innocent official opens the drawer and traps himself. “THE MARKED MONEY IS FOUND ON HIM.” Suppose a crook, as a part of a frame- up, DID leave that $50 on Inspector Powers’ desk while the inspector was not looking! Then as he left the office gave the signal to the wait- ing deputy sheriffs with their John Doe warrant. Powers was “caught” with the marked money on him, yet he may be innocent. If Prosecutor Lundin resorted to this old, time-worn and dangerous method of catching Powers, we hope he knew the man who: handled the marked 7 money. : We hope Lundin didn’t trust this work to a shyster private detective. @ Anyhow the town is entitled to know j the name of the man who passed the marked money.
