They were hidden beyond the in

Haunting the La1U

Alex Carston flashed a snarling
set Of white teeth between
straight, cruel lips, at the agi-
tated jurist. This was all a lot
Of Idle talk; what the foreman OF
the jury had said, though, so
much shorter and neater. was
something.
It was another victory for the
system and for its king, boss OF
the shakedown ring that was
bigger than the Big Burg in
which it operated. For this,
CarSton had built his well-oiled
organization Of "enforcers," Shys-
tiers, 1ixerS, politician henchmen,
spies and petty harpies. What
was that windy judge beefing
about, anyhow? Who'd he think
he was? Well, he'd find out
next election.
The District Attorney was shut
fling q Sheaf Of papers into his
cardboard file. His gestures were
nervous and irritated. With all
the resources Of constituted au-
thority behind him, he was once
more left in the role Of the
sucker by this shameless and
fearless shark.
Carston, swinging his pearl
gray felt hat, the crown Of the
gangster and racketeer, paused
in his jaunty exit and said. soto
voice:
We'll, S'long-see you in court"
The District Attorney gloWered
and Stage-whispered:
"IIl see you in the big house"
Carston laughed out loud. The
Judge lifted his head with jolt.
"Get out Of this courtroom, or
I'll put you in jail for contempt!"
he roared.
Carston grinned. The Judge
had lost one decision that ses-
sion, and was scarcely likely to
risk another, for he knew that
Carston's legal battery was loaded
with habeas corpus writs and
that he always had at least one
judge on his staff probably on
his payroll-who would Spring"
the star defendant on a techni-
cality.
Contempt Of court was written
all over the Silk-lined hoodlum,
from the tilt Of his mouth to the
angle Of his shoulders. But he
linked arms with the head Of his
