Little Hatchet Face Talks
 When Smoke Gets In His Brain

 He paused, then looked at the reporter. Hey, buddy" he asked hopefully, have va got another cigarette? ?"
 He lighted it and went on again.
 I'm going right out now and look for a job. Look at these clothes, pointing to his ragged garments, they're no good any more. I gotta get somethin' to wear and some money for the wife and kid. And this time I'm gonna get a job, see. You just wait and see."
 The phone rang at this mo- ment and the, call was for the reporter. It was new story and he left.
 The newspaperman was back at police headquarters later that day, and he met two of the detectives who had been listening to the convict's, woes.
 "Say'. began the reporter, ''wasn't that chap in pretty tough luck? No money, a wife and kid, and no chance to get a job even when he's trying to go straight"
 And the Answer. 'Listen, fellow" said one Of the two detectives, we've been listening to that story for years, and can recite it almost by heart. That guys a phony.' ,.
 .sWhat do you mean?" asked the newspaperman.
 "I'll tell you" said the de- < tective, ''He doesn't live with his wife and kid; he hasn't for years. He wouldn't take job if he could get one. And he only tells that story of his when he's been, taking it."

The little hatchet-faced man was talking when the reporter walked into the detective bu- reau room at police headquar- ters. He was pacing to and fro along the cement floor, his eyes gleaming and his hands waving as he talked.
 I've been in jails'', he was saying, ''in a lot of 'em, and I've been in prisons, too. I'll bet that I have a longer rec ord than anyone in this whole city. But I'm going straight now, sec
 He saw that the reporter had entered the group and was listening to him. Hey, buddy" he asked. "have va got a cigarette?" He took one from the preferred package and lighted it, drawing in the smoke appreciatively.
 For the Little Wife.
 He started again.
 T been in Wethersfield and I been in the pen up in Mass state. Then I been in jails all over this state and up in New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Some of 'em are pretty tough. too, but each time I got out I went right back into the rack ct. Then they got me for concealed weapons and att tempted hold-up in Simsbury and sent me up for 6 months. I was lucky that time: thought I'd get a stretch, and I kinda began thinking"
 T decided I'd go straight as soon as I got out, and l been keeping to it. Yes, sir, l have. I got a nice little wife and a kid--a girl she is. And I'm going straight for them as much as for myself. And I'm not going to get into any trou- ble no more."
 He was still walking back and forth nervously.
 T been trying for six weeks to get a job, but I ain't been able to get one. It's this damned depression. Nobody has any jobs. I can't even get on the EZRA. I went to a. couple of ladies in social ser vice or something like that,
