Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.

 

I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.

I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in

uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.

The senior policeman looked cynical, "All these guys

are innocent; the penitentiaries are full of innocent men

who have been framed, to listen to them. All we want is to

get him tucked nicely in a cell and then we go off duty.

"C'mon, fella!" he said to me. I turned to pick up my case.

"Aw, you won't want that," he said, hustling me along.

On an afterthought he snapped the handcuffs round my

wrists.

"Oh, you don't want that," called the Captain. "He

can't run anywhere, and how will he get down to your

boat?"

"He can fall in the drink and we will fish him out,"

replied the policeman, laughing coarsely.

Climbing down the ladder was not easy, but I managed
