Action. The District of Columbia Grand Jury (23 members) foregathered. Mr. Sinclair's friend, Mr. Day, who looks "like a well-groomed football tackle," was asked to explain his connection with the Burns men. He refused to answer, on the paradoxical but wholly legal ground that in explaining he might incriminate himself. He was arrested and placed under a $25,000 bail...

To readers previously acquainted with the legal acrobatics of the two Tutts, it is unnecessary to explain how the elder and more talented member of the firm, aided by the unexpected, scores his point. Such readers will hope that the mind of Author Train, which has already produced, among his other works, Page Mr. Tutt, Tut, Tut! Mr. Tutt, Tutt and Mr. Tutt, will be able...
