Jameson, is Kennedy in? JL JL I glanced up from the evening papers to encounter the square-jawed, alert face of District Attorney Carton in the doorway of our apartment. How do you do, Judge? I exclaimed. No, but I expect him any second now. Won tyou sit down? The District Attorney dropped, rather wearily I thought, into a chair and looked at his watch. I had made Carton sacquaintance some years before as a cub reporter on the Star while he was a judge of an inferior court. Our acquaintance had grown through several political campaigns in which I had had assignments that brought me into con tact with him. More recently some special writing had led me across his trail again in telling the story of his clean-up of graft in the city. At present his weariness was easily accounted for.
