''No. I'm just curious about
your books. There was a lite
mistake in them - twenty-nine
thousand on the wrong side of
the edger. I see they balanced
okay though, after someone did
a little erasing."
"Oh, sure boss, I remember
now. I made little mistake
and I rubbed it out"
Carston slowly and deliberately
withdrew an expensive cigar from
his pocket and punctured the end
with a gold cigar cutter. Very
mildly but significantly he turned
toward the trembling Armitage.
IT made a mistake, too, Armi-
tage, that I'm going to rub out"
A look of terror came into the
collectors face. His lips and hands
began to jerk spasmodically and a
pleading look came into his eyes.
Carston watched him, smiling.
Listen boss. I can straighten it
out. You got me wrong. I'll make
it up, every cent. Double, I'll pay

Armitage, "King" CarSton
threaded his way through the
blackjack tables, roulette layouts
and crap games to the rear Of the
building where he maintained
another of the lavish office suites
from which he pulled the strings
controlling the criminal activities
of one of the worlds largest cities.
AS they approached the door,
one of the hoodlums, hand clutch
ing snub-nosed revolver in his
coat pocket, stepped ahead Of
Carston.
Carston, with bored mien, calmly
stood aside until the bodyguard
had opened the office door and
scanned the room.
Empty, boss"
Carston then entered his office,
Armitage following and closing
the door while the four body
guards remained in the corridor.
"Those books are in the second
drawer in the desk, boss" Armi-
tage whined. Can I get you a
drink?"
''No, thanks" Carston replied,
and Armitage gave a quick look
toward the boss because Of the
sarcastically menacing tone of his
refusal.
did you notice the take has
been picking up the last coupla
weeks, boss? Couldn't ask for
much better, could we, boss?"
"I noticed that when I was
going over your books earlier to-
night, Armitage."
"Oh, yeh, boss. 7 knew there
was something I wanted to talk
to you about" Armitage was
speaking too hurriedly, beads Of
perspiration broke out on his
forehead and he rubbed his sticky
palms against his trouser legs.

CHAPTER FOUR

Bill Bradford had taken Julie
Gardner home. They had danced
until after midnight, and she was
due at her work in Alex Carston's
shabby, little main office Of his
rich racketeering domain early
next morning. Bill was about to
turn in, but on a hunch he drove
back to the 1872 Club, the Swanky
gambling den where he had left
Carston.
The gangster chief had already
departed. Bill strolled in and
took a casual look around. The
shifty eyes Of Jake Andrews, the
associate manager, spied him.
Andrews sauntered over.
ANY particular business here
tonight, Bradford" he asked,
with little attempt to gloss over
his hatred Of the reporter and
all he represented.
"Yep. I want to talk to you"
IT don't like to be seen talking
to you," snapped Andrews. 1.-The
next blast you let loose, some
body might think I ratified the

Acazar. We could cut out the
partition between the main room
and"
Arrnitage dwindled into stunned
silence without finishing his little
speech, hypnotized by the steady,
cold look in Carston's eyes. Cars
ton slowly started to smile. A
look of terror came into Armi-
tage's face.
Eyes, go on" Carston encour-
aged.
"An', we could put the bar on
a raised floor at - at - the
other end-what'S the matter,
boss? You-you sore at me?"
Carston's eyes kept drilling into
Armitage and his too.sweet smile
broadened a little.
The Washington times., 1935-09-14

back. I been on the level with you
for years, but I was caught in a
jam. You know meant to square
it, boss"
Without paying the slightest at
tention to his blubbering lieuten'
ant, Carston rose from the desk
and opened the office door. In
stantly the four waiting hoodlums
Strengthened themselves up and
stood waiting orders.
Slowly CarSton withdrew a
lighter from his pocket, flicked it
into flame and touched it to the
tip Of his cigar.
Armitage staggered, stumbled
toward him, sank to his knees, his
hands clenched together in suppli'
cation.
"P.please, boss. IL got fifty
grand in a safety deposit box-Tu
kick back every nickel to you. .
You wouldn' - you - my God!
Boss! Listen to me. L"
Carston'S cigar was now proper
ly aNd fully lighted. He stopped
his back to the cringing, chatter
ing thief who had stolen Carston's
stolen money.
"Armitage is lonesome, boys,
said Carston, when he walks out
O. here, he's goin' by-by an he
hates to be alone, see? So, Pete

Army for a nice, long ride. That'll

"Oh-h-boss-s-s!" mere e
Armitage. "I'll-for Gods sake"

the pitiful object at his heels.

and the other pair making for
the rear, Carston, putting at his
Perfecto, strolled back through
the main gaming room, toward
the checkroom.
AS he was being helped on
with his expensive velvet-collared
topcoat, an elderly, blondined, and
over-bejewelled matron came up
to him, her hands full Of chips.
Giggling, and holding out her
chips, she bubbled to Carston:
"Oh, look Mr.. Carston. I've
won a hundred and nine dollars" !"
well, well, Mrs. Blythe, you've
done it again, eh? If all our
guests were as lucky as you we'd
be out Of business. But I
wouldn't mind being bankrupted
by a charming lady like you."
He bowed slightly and walked
out toward the door.
Mrs. Blythe turned to the
checkroom girl:

ing, "at the Alcazar."

"Oh, can't you get that man

"He gets the hot squad. It's
murder in the first"
"Gee-that makes me out fine
rat"
"Yeh. But a live rat. .. There's
the phone"
Andrews unlocked the door.
Armitage pondered heavily, then
started to feverishly thumb the
telephone book.
Andrews picked up speed as the
door shut behind him, and he was
in q telephone booth in the mems
room pronto. He called number.
"Chief there?" he inquired. "Yeh
damn important. Chief?
Here's a WOW. Armitage is callin'
up the D. A. tippin' himself off
SOS he can get a flock Of cops to
come over an take him out. He's
off'rin' to sing the whole song
with all the verses an choruses-
for his life"
Carston dropped the French
: hand-Set instrument on its bar
with a wallop.
"Well, Of all the double-croSsing
. Skunks! Armitage is going to spill
the works to the D. A. I knew he
was q heel, but never thought
he'd fall that low. An he won't
get away with it. Joe, take the

in the way. {. They don't live to

The Washington times., 1935-09-14
Death Sentence

Flanked by four bodyguards,
looking very Stummpy despite
their expensively tailored dinner
jackets, Alex Carston entered the
lavish gaming room of the Sump'
tuous 122 Club.
His hoodlums trailed after him
like a herd Of sheep following the
bellwether as he crossed the gamb
ling room, nodding here and there
to an acquaintance or Sucker" "
At the far end Of the room,
Armitage, Carston's collector, "
was assisting a handsome, we'll
dressed and obviously drunken
young chap into an overcoat.
I'm glad you got your dough
back, kid" Armitage was saying
as Carston walked up. Then, seeing
the boss racketeer, Amritage hur-
ried his drunken youthful charge
away with a slap on the back and
turned to Carston.
Nelson, a young broker" he
explained. jerking his thumb over
to point out the disappearing,
swaying figure of the blc2de
youth.
"Lost 30 G'S on the wheel to-
night and seven last night. And
not his own dough. He had a
heater on him when he left the
table tonight, so steered him
back in and Joe let him win it
back. I'm lookin' out for your
interests boss. Amt going to have
no suicides in the gents room
here"
"You letting him walk out with
81 G's of MY dough-" Carson
thundered.
''Wait minute boss" Armita 90
interrupted in a frightened, al.
most whining voice. "He'S goin'
home in one Of our cabs. Joe and
Louie are takin' care of that. Well
dump him in the river"
Drop him on a street corner
instead. It'll look like a stick-up," ?"
was Carston' laconic reply.
With his retinue Of plug-uglieS

BILL, I know CarSton isn't a
pure white lily, but you and the
other reporters seem to get an un-
holy satisfaction out of accusing
him of every sort of horrible
thing. You call him all kinds Of
nasty names-'murder baron and
vice king"
'Well, I've known him a long
time and" Bill interrupted, to
be interrupted in turn by jules
petulant voice.
IT know, Bill. You're looking
for news and you only see the side
of the man you want to see. But
I know Garston and he's been a
mighty good friend to me- He
may be-well, he is a racketeer.
There is no denying that. But he
has never committed all those
crimes you and the other newspa'
per men say he did. He's grand,
charitable person when you know
him. He wouldn't hurt a fly and
it hurts him deeply, I know, when
you print headlines accusing him
of horrible murders"
AS Julie talked, Bill leaned back
in his seat, tipped his hat forward
over his eyes, and pretended to 60
to sleep.

Armitage, the collector who had
been shown up in jules accounts
as being short almost $4,000, was
kneeling before the open safe in
the office of the club.
He had locked the door between
him and the avenging killers

front and rear, to take him for a
ride as a lesson to violators OF
that fantastic myth about honor
among thieves. The sweat stream

A look of relief lit Armitage'S
