Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Twenty Years a Detective in the Wickedest City in the World: 20, 000 Arrests Made, 12, 900 Convictions on State and City Laws, 200 Penitentiary Convictions; The Devil and the Grafter, and How They Work Together to Deceive, Swindle and Destroy Mankind

The two arch enemies of happiness and prosperity are the Devil and the Grafter. The church is fighting the Devil, the law is fighting the Grafter. The great mass of human beings, as they journey along the pathway of life, know not the dan gers that lie in wait from these two sources. Honest them selves, credulous and innocent, they trust their fellow man.
