"MacNutt, the wire tapper, is one of them!"
"And you would like us to get after MacNutt?"

"Then I can only refer you to the decision of the Court of Appeals in the McCord case, and the Appellate Division's reversal of the 'green-goods' conviction of 1900! In other words, sir, there is no law under which a wire tapper can be prosecuted."
"But it's not a conviction I want, as much as the woman. I want to save her."
"Is she a respectable woman?"
Durkin felt that his look was answer enough.
