The Frame Up
When the voice over the telephone promised to name the man who
killed Hermann Banf, District Attorney Wharton was up- town lunching at
Delmonicos. This was contrary to his custom and a concession to
Hamilton Cutler, his distinguished brother-in-law. That gentleman was
interested in a State constabulary bill and had asked State Senator Bissell
to father it. He had suggested to the senator that, in the legal points
involved in the bill, his brother-in-law would undoubtedly be charmed to
advise him. So that morning, to talk it over, Bissell had come from Albany
and, as he was forced to return the same afternoon, had asked Wharton to
lunch with him up-town near the station.
That in public life there breathed a man with soul so dead who, were
he offered a chance to serve Hamilton Cutler, would not jump at the
chance was outside the experience of the county chairman. And in so
judging his fellow men, with the exception of one man, the senator was
right. The one man was Hamilton Cutlers brother-in-law.
In the national affairs of his party Hamilton Cutler was one of the four
leaders. In two cabinets he had held office. At a foreign court as an
ambassador his dinners, of which the diplomatic corps still spoke with
emotion, had upheld the dignity of ninety million Americans. He was rich.
The history of his family was the history of the State. When the Albany
boats drew abreast of the old Cutler mansion on the cast bank of the
Hudson the passengers pointed at it with deference. Even when the search
lights pointed at it, it was with deference.
