very evidently making a spe-

and he had proven so slippery
that he was always a jump or

were out to nail him.

The following morning, bright

Morning, sir" he chirped.
What can I do for you?"
Slipkins appeared most mys'
terious. He was acting as he
had always figured a great de-
tective should act. He looked at
the clerk through narrowed
eyes. Then he flashed his
shield.
I'm Detective Slipkins, he
announced. II suppose you've
heard of me?"
The clerk was highly i'm
pressed-and a trifle fright

IT should say I have, Mr..
Slipkins," he replied nervously.
But why are you here? I
mean, is there anything
wrong?"
Slipkins shrugged his
shoulders.
I've been detailed to catch
the crook that's been causin'

case got so big that they final

O platinum platter.
Uncle Joe was the man who
passed the platter. Joe was a
big shot in the police depart
ment-and Slipkins was his
favorite nephew. Catch on?
When, in years gone by. Uncle
Joe placed an arm around the
poy's shoulders and told him to
take the examination for the
force, he could have tackled on
an absolute guarantee that
Slipkins wasn't going to remain
in uniform very long.
And so it had happened.
Slipkins hadn't been on the
force more than six months
when he was placed in the de-
tectives' division. Whereupon
things that were good for Slip
kins began to happen very rap
idly.
There was that big pinch, for
instance, that the young man
made in Chicago. The newspa-
pers told plenty about the ter
fific detective work that such an
arrest had required.
The real inside on the. case
was that the prisoner had
hoisted a jewelry store in New
York and had skipped to Chi
cago. A few days later a stool
pigeon made his dutiful report
to Uncle Joe in New York, and
told him exactly where and how
the jewel thief could be found.
Gets Choice Cases
Then what happened? Yes,
indeed, you've guessed it. Slip
kins received the assignment.
A comfortable ride, day or
two of seeing the sights-and
the young man picked up his
prisoner without the slightest
difficulty. ~
AS time rolled on, Slipkins
was given other jobs of a sim
liar nature. Uncle Joe never
failed to take care of his favor

brother detectives knew the
truth. Because he was con-
tinually burning them with his
self-important cracks, the other
bows held a genuine hatred for
him. I know that plenty OF
them prayed privately for the
mans downfall.
To his face, however, they
were rather friendly. They had
to be, because they knew all
about that important connec-
tion. Accordingly, they did
their share to help swell Slip
kin,s egotism. It couldn't have
swelled much further for the
simple reason that it was al
most at the bursting point.

its kind ever undertaken. 1t is being
conducted jointly by the Highway De-

LYNCH VERDICT
Calls for Support of
Scottsboro Case

While the main task of the New
York District Friends of the Soviet
Union is to carry on a campaign for
the Support and Defense of the
Soviet Union, it realizes that the
enemies that are trying to provoke
a war against the Soviet Union. are
the very forces that are trying to
lynch the 9 innocent Scottsboro bows.
The New York District FS.U. pro-
tests most vehemently against this
action of the ruling class which is
trying to put over this dastardly deed
in order to subjugate the Negro
workers Of the South still further.
In comparison to this we find
that in the Soviet Union every min
GRITTY is free and equal. All the ma
tional minorities have been liber-
ated. There is no race discrimins-
ton. All workers regardless of race,
color and Of creed, are given equal
opportunity to progress.
The New York District FSU calls
upon its members and all workers
and Friends of the Soviet Union to
unite in a campaign with the LID.
to help free these 8 innocent Negro
boys.

Government Officials
Fear Anger of
Masses

WASHINGTON, D. c., April T.
Following several conferences of the
Washington government officials with
the local court and police authorities,
it was finally decided to proceed with
the trial of the four arrested anti
war demonstrators. The case of
Suskind opened this afternoon, with
a jury of six men and six women.
All appear to be middle class, prob
ably professional people The trial
of Kennedy has been postponed to
April 20, that of Castrow and Joan
Hardy to April q,
Three witnesses against the defen-
dantS were called, all policemen Ser
geant Langley, Capt. Kelley and De-
tective Holmes.
Langley testified that before strik-
ing Joan Hardy he had asked her if
the demonstrators had a permit and
who the leaders were. He testified
he attempted to take away a banner
she was carrying, He said he could
not tell what was on the banner.
He stated that he held her with
both hands, and then testified she
scratched and bit him. He denied
he struck her, but could not remem-
Der" If any Of the other officers had
struck her.
When Suskind was called to the
stand, Langley stated that he had
not seen Suskind before. He then
testified that Suskind struck him
with his fist comig nup from the side
while he was holding Joan Hardy
and that he remembered him from
then.
Kelly then testified that he had
not seen Suskind until after his
arrest. He followed this by saying
that he saw Suskind strike Langley.
Ford, International Labor Defense
attorney, in cross-examining the Off
GERS, asked whether they had pre-
viously discussed their testimony with
the prosecuting attorney. The prose-
cutor objected to the question and
the Judge backed him up. The judge
constantly ruled in favor of the pros
ecutor while overruling all of the
objections of the I. L. D. attorney.
Finally, however, Ford was able to
get through certain questions and
forced Holmes to admit that he had
previously talked over his testimony
with others, and further to admit
that the policy of the police is always
to deny clubbing people, or to say
they do not remember.
The case is to be continued in the
morning (Friay) at 10 o'clock.
