Another thing, any official of this town who carelessly or perversely places any obstacle in the way of another duly elected official, which prevents that official from doing his full duty, Is guilty of an attempt to disfranchise the majority of voters in the town--: a strong statement but I can't away from the truth of it, Jim.

Mr. Flynn explained his presence In Boston as merely a periodical visit to his branch office in State street.

Among modern detectives he has been an outs'tanding figure for may years and few men in the world have had as much to do with crime and criminals, plot and counterplot, as has this big, silent, mysterious figure, who for so long was the chief of the United States "Secret Service." His field was not that of city or a state--but the whole world. Now "Chief Flynn has retired to fight criminals on his own account and he Is contemplating establishing offices in every.large city of the country as he has done In New York and Boston.
