Excerpt from The History of a Crime
At this time also District Attorney Graham was living in the fatuous belief that he enjoyed the favor of David Martin and would be selected as the Republican candidate for Mayor. To him one day there came a rude awakening, and, with mutterings upon his lips over Martin's treachery, he withdrew from the field in the interest of his friend, City Solicitor War wick, with the understanding that the latter would have the full and earnest support of Mayor Stuart and all the power that is back of the Chief Magis trate of Philadelphia. The Mayor, however, proved a reed and bowed to the wind, and, for the time being apparently, Warwick abandoned the field, and with downcast mien admitted his undoing.
At this time also the Pennsylvania Railroad, with all the power of that grand and mighty corporation, was anxious to bring about the nomination Of General Louis Wagner.
Over this troublous scene hovered the dark figure of David Martin, anxiously cogitating which of these Mayoralty movements would most richly enlarge his suddenly and mysteriously acquired wealth.
