he checked himself and remained
silent.

Young sneered as he answered:

The Washington times., 1935-10-26

In all the black and scarlet
history of American racketeering
and gangsterisrn there was prac.
tically not a single case in which
local authorities had severely pun
ished the big shot criminals. But
the Federal Government had been
death to many and had put
behind bars-through which there
was no escaping by drag or devil
try-some Of the toughest and
strongest of the High Hoodlums.
The judges were not only in
corruptible, but had no sense Of
humor. hadn't Wilkerson indig-
nantly thrown out an agreement
whereby AL Capone was to not
only pay up but take few years
in the Big House besides, and then
slipped him the limit? He had
set the precedent that the United
States refused to deal with noto-
rious malefactors. The jurors
were from the entire district,
some Of them farmers, untouch-
able by political contacts and too
city-dumb to be afraid Of gang
0terS.
And those Federal investigators
they were fierce. Nothing dis
couraged them, nothing scared
them, killing a few only made the
others dig deeper. No money
could buy them off. They could
make banks open their books and
their vaults, they could tap tele'
phones, they could commander
accounts that must prove heavy
expenditures against which the
defendant must explain heavy in
come-and why no tax was paid
on it; and if he couldn't-it was
just too bad.
The United States district at
torney was awaiting a signal. His
box huzzed. He touched q jiggeE
and a voice said, "She's safe in
her CELL" The D. A. smiled
broadly. "Send in Carston," he
ordered.
CHAPTER II
Followed by his Strutting at
torney, Young, Alex Carston, rajah
CT rackets, sauntered into the Of
flee of the United States District
Attorney, trying his brazen best
to appear unconcerned, but show
ing by an uncomfortable nervous
ness that being called into the
presence of the mighty lega'
power Of Uncle Sam was not al
all to his liking, however much
contempt he might hold for the
law.
''Sit down, CarSton," demanded
the representative Of the Fedora

"Don't worry about those books.

Shut up about Julie. There's

AS Carston spoke the limousine
pulled up outside his hotel, and
the desk clerk came rushing out

Carston turned green, then

Pushing the aStoniShed clerk
aside, Carston, followed by Young
dashed into the hotel. Not wait
ing for the elevator, Carston and
Young leaped up the stairs, two
at q time, and rushed down the
hall to jules room.
The girls quarters were in dis
order, as If they had been
searched.
They've got me! They've got

himself than to Young.
