Melville Davisson Post: "The District Attorney" (1912).

"The District Attorney" is the story of how Randolph Mason, a bookish, eccentric and very devious New York lawyer, secures the dismissal of criminal charges against his gullible, elderly client by entrapping a corrupt United States District Attorney in St. Louis, Missouri. It was published in The Virginia Enterprise on September 20, 1912. It is one of a series of short fiction about Randolph Mason---"The Corrector of Destinies" ---by Melville Davisson Post that were published in Minnesota newspapers that year.
