A Fellow of Oxford

In spite, however, OF all thlS
bumming around and wild life,
Jimmie never forgot he was a
Fellow of oxford University
and a Master of Arts in the
classical tongues. Never in his
life, had word of slang
passed his lips and the average
number of long words that
Jimmie would use in any
sentence he uttered would have
made even Doc. webster
scratch his head.
When Jimmie said that ne
was feeling a little pediculous
and that his power of raclocl-
nation was slightly enfeebled,
he meant that he was feeling
lousy and his reasoning powers
were on the blink But that
was the way he talked ana
thus the appelation of Gentle
man" was added to jimmie
Dugan.
When I first met him, he
looked after the paper morgue.
That is. the department OF
newspaper where information
about everybody and anything
is filed. And never, in my ex-
perience, has there ever oeen
a morgue keeper of the stature
of Jimmy. He knew more than
,,,oc contained in all the files,
and it didn't matter what you
asked him-from the popula-
tion of Timbuctoo to the name
of Peggy Joyce's first husband
Jimmie could spiel off the
dope.
The first time had occasion
to deal with him was. as lar
as I can remember. in connec-
ton with murder case thaI
resembled the famous English
Jack Ripper" sensation.
He Knew Plenty!
Running into the morgue, I
shouted:
Jimmie, give me some dirt
on Jack -the-Ripper."
"Ah. yes, young man." jim
mie replied, "Jack-the- Ripper.
I presume you mean by the
colloquialism give me some
dirt that you require infor-
nation on this somewhat sadls-
tically inclined criminal?"
For the next 10 minutes
Jimmie reeled off all he knew
about the case, which was
plenty. But by the time he
had finished, 1 felt as if I had
been dragged by the hair
through the 26 volumes OF the
Oxford dictionary. I never re-
allied, outside of crossword
puzzles, that words of such
length existed.
Jimmie was the same inside
the morgue or out. Drunk or
sober. in fact, the drunker
he was, the more involved he
became. And as he was sell
dom really sober, it was seldom
that an ordinary common or

further black marks on The

the monniker of Jimmie Dugan,
which he took from the name

Just how he came to adopt

stand what jimmie was really
talking about.
A typical story of Jimmie
concerns the time he was jug
ged for being drunk and dis
orderly. 1t took a small army
of cops to carry him into the
station and when they got him
there, they decided to let him
cool off all night before bring
ing him in front of the magis-
trate.
In the inorning, cold sober,
Jimmie was hailed in front Of
the judge who asked him if he
had anything to say.

One day, Jimmie disappeared.
For months we searched for
him in every dive in the city
and in every hospital, but it
seemed that he had been swal-
lowed up. when Jimmie
couldn't be found in a booze
shop, Jail or hospital, there was
just nowhere else to search
for him and we had almost
given him up for lost when we
had call from an upper New
York Sanitarium, telling us that
a man by name of Jimmie
Dugan was dying of T. E.
They had called us because
his newspaper card was the only
Identification he carried. Sev-
eral of us hurried out to the
hospital and found Jimmie,
mere shadow of his former
self, lying in a bed that was
surrounded by screens.

dead against wisecracking, as was
