Evening All,
Is it me??!
11a Second embezzler is better.
I have SPECULATOR, but don't really see how it relates to the clue.
14d Attorney's force?
PAPER seems to fit the spaces I have left but, again, I am struggling to see the logic in it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Chris.

It's power not paper as in power of attorney.

Wow!! Thank you All,
As you might have guessed, I had had "no joy" with 16a, so that is now corrected.
Also, I don't think I have ever come across the word "PECULATE" (and thus PECULATOR).

You see, you learn something new every day!
Thanks again, Chris.
