The minister of police suspects a certain Armand, but can obtain no evidence because Armand has destroyed all extant examples of his handwriting.

It would be equally logical to deduce that since only one in thirteen of the public school men received honor grades in the Law School while one in six received them in College, therefore, public school men who had distinguished themselves...
