The weather. Tomorrow, expect a... Biting cold front. Mmm, how naughty. I wonder what I'll be wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise, slowly but surely, reaching their peak in the afternoon.

Not in the mood for miserable weather?

There is an old country proverb to the effect that tombstones never lie.

In an obscure spot in an old cemetery at Newton, Kansas, is a grave at the head of which stands a small marble slab bearing these words.

In memory of Bertha L. Bothamley, beloved wife of Clement L. Bothamly. Contrary to the old saying, this tombstone lies, but it is a lie that will

be forgiven its author because it was engraven in marble to cover the sin of a woman.

The rearing of this modest marble slab marked the close of one chapter in a tragedy that

had its scenes laid bare in two continents, ran the whole scale of human emotions, and ended

in murder.

It is seldom that an operative in the Secret Service of the United States is selected to

unravel crimes other than those against the currency of the country.

My connection with the Bothamly case came about through a request made by James L. Brooks,

at the time chief of the Secret Service of the Federal Department of Justice.

John W. Carr, Secretary of the British Association of Kansas,

had written to the British Ambassador at Washington asking that he solicit the aid of this government

and clearing up the murder of a countryman and securing the conviction of the murderer or murderers.

Chief Brooks assigned me to the work because the crime had been committed in territory with which I'd become familiar in the constant search for counterfeiters.

It often happens that the man who makes the unraveling of crimes a profession is called upon to take a case long after the commission of the crime he is detailed to solve.

Such tasks are the most difficult in the detective's calling.

Time is the criminal's strongest protector.
