For A Detective Whose Talents, Had Not Been Recognized At
Headquarters, I Possessed An Ambition Which, Fortunately For My
Standing With The Lieutenant Of The Precinct, Had Not Yet Been
Expressed In Words. Though I Had Small Reason For Expecting Great
Things Of Myself, I Had Always Cherished The Hope That If A Big
Case Came My Way I Should Be Found Able To Do Something With It
Something More, That Is, Than I Had Seen Accomplished By The
Police Of The District Of Columbia Since I Had Had The Honor Of
Being One Of Their Number. Therefore, When I Found Myself Plunged,
Almost Without My Own Volition, Into The Jeffrey Moore Affair, I
Believed That The Opportunity Had Come Whereby I Might Distinguish
Myself.
