says he. @Your boss has turned down
a subpoena from the Senate's special
investigating committee-told 'em
to go plump to blazes. So all the city
editors in town are bowling for a
double column of his map to 60 on the
front page. I've been laying for him
for two hours; but all I've accumu-
lated so far is quarter view of him
getting out of the limousine. He was
onto me, though, and proceeds to raise
a riot. But it's funny you should be
the one to go for the cop. Well?"
There it was, batted up to me fair

the thick of strike riot where they're
usin' brickbats and nightsticks reckless, or
he'll srnuggle it into a cathedral and take
fashlight of a pontifical mass without any
permit. And smooth! Well, who else could
have talked Hetty Green into givin' pri-
vate sitting but him?'
