 He put his hand into the left side pocket Of his coat. Something was there that did not belong there-a smooth. bulging purse. Alcatrante had put it there.
 Orme fingered the purse. He would have to get rid of 1t, but he dared not to drop it to the floor, and if he thrust it through the grating and let 1t fall
