knowing old Joe's peculiar way OF
going at things, and being much in
terested.
Bill Miller" he growls. He says
II I don't get busy and 60 out and
arrest Herb Wright that he will look
up the law about malfeasance.
Miller's our prosecuting attorney.
"Malfeasance, you say, Joe? That's
where an officer fails to do his duty
and stuff like that-isn't it?"
X x
IVES. Miller's sore because I
haven't rounded Herb up be-
fore this. I've had warrant for
his arrest for nearly three weeks,
now, but haven't had chance to
serve it."
Don't want to, you mean" I COR
rected I know exactly how kind
hearted old Joe Grant feels about
Herbert Wright shooting this stranger
Percy Smith--over some inSinuating
remarks that Smith made about
Herbs pretty, young wife. No one
could talk about Irma.
Guess I've got to catch him,
Shorty. And its too bad. I've been
hoping Ml.er'd forget it, But there's
no chance. l see. And seeing I'm
here, l want to ask you to do me
a favor-When I get back with young
Wright"
Keep his arrest out of the Eagle,
you mean?"
NO. not that I want you to go
on his bail bond"
Sure, Joe-sure.' I agree. Herb
won't run of. Hows Smith, the
guy Herb shot?"
lies coming all right Doc
Lowry says he'll be out of the
hospital in another week or so, and
fat and sassy as ever"
"Wright's lucky boy, sheriff. Three
h slugs from .3s. Wonder they
didn't kill this guy!"
You and Millerd ought to get to-
eether and sing a duet, Shorty. That's
all he's harped about since 1t hap
pened Miller doesn't care if he
breaks up Wright's home-and ruins
his whole life, and Irma's-so long
as he can get a conviction. Claims
he intends to tell Wrights jury that
only an act Of God prevents him from
having to try this boy for premed-

Old Joe catches Herb Wright the
next day. Knew where Herb was
hiding out all along. more than likely.
A fellow named Wilson and 1 sign
his bond-and then the fun starts.
Grant and Miller begin arguing
again-like couple of school kids
and they're both bullheads when
bucking each other Joe's trying to
get Miller to drop this charge against
Herbert Wright-and Bill says moth
ing doing. I add my plea, without
results.
A couple of more weeks pass then

HEN one Tuesday afternoon, I
trail old Joe Grant into Club
warmers tavern and. to me, it looks
like our sheriff is about half plas-
tered.
Have drink, Shorty" he invites,
adding: I'm celebrating. Having a
grand time. Got letter this morn
ing that more than suits me. Take
something, Chub."
I'll take cigar, sheriff. What's
the good neWs?"
"Ihatd be telling, Club. I can't
Say-specially, not to you. You and
Bill Miller are cousins. But I'll tell
you what 1 will do. Now, you're a
gambler, Chub-aren't you? ell.
Miller thinks that he's going to con-
wet Herb Wright, tomorrow, doesn't
he?"
Bill told both me an Smith that
he couldn't lose"
NO. old Joe drawls-haulinc a
roll OF bills out of his pants pocket
and slapping them down on the bar
IN front of Chub. Bet you any part
OF 1t that he does lose" Grant an
nounces, adding: And to show you
that I'm sport, Ill give you odds.
Say-tWo to one"
You must know something" Club
fences.
How about taking on a hundred
at three to one?"
HUB is a gambler, and such odds
makes him shy.
-Four to one that no jury'll con-
vict Herb Wright of shooting Smith
not after they hear what but
there I go giving the secret away
and me trying to get a bet out Of
you! I always get foolish when I'm
drinking, like everybody does. OF
course, you won't bet, now Mind YOU.
Chub. no repeating what I've let slide
out OF me to either Miller or Smith.
Smith, especially. I don't want that
dude to suspect thing. Well Shorty,
come on. I'll 20 see some more
gamblers-and try to keep my mouth
shut"
So Grant and I walk on out,
What's the big idea?" 1 INQUIRE,
when We get up the street a WAYS,
I'm playing hunch in the hole"
the sheriff informs me. Club and
Smith are thicker than Club and
Miller. Chub's bound to tell Smith
all I've said-and if Smith is wanted
elsewhere, for any crime whatsoever,
he'll high-tail it out of town. pronto. !"
And Miller will have no witness
against young Herb-no complaining
witness" I remark, joyfully.
None" Joe agrees-smiling broadly.
And Miller had none. Percy Smith
III that ever was his name-slunk
aboard the midnight west-bound fly
er that same evening. and the smile
on homely old Joe Grants face is
even wider than Bill Miller,s froyn!

 Doubt of tho outcome in the vote for members of the board of alder- men, with apparent victory for eight Republicans against seven Demo- crats, blighted planned celebrations by constituents of the candidates From first returns, 1t appeared that Alderman John Bender, Lithuan- ian leader, for eight yearA c fnem- Der of the board, would be dropped,
 Reverse of this appeared to have happened in the vote for members of the board of education with five Democrats apparently elected against four Republicans, and Thomas Healey, Independent Demo- crat, being dropped. On the board of relief, the vote indicated lection of two Fusion candidates, with one Democrat, Robert Scollay, winning a place, and John J. Walsh, Democrat, apparently defeated. Both Demo- cratic candidates for selectmen were winners, the vote showed.

Republican, apparently was leading Controller Daniel J. Leary by 20 votes, i0,1i3 to 10,0e4. The fact that difference of only 2 votes in the total of ballots cast for mayor and controller was recorded, provides problem of whether the vote count Is accurate, inaSmuch as c normal voting procedure would find such close totals running to form. Thiq would mean that the mayor and Controller Leary received approxi- mately the same totals, because ifl- dications are that there was little splitting" of the Democratic ticket
 The upsets, almost entirely, exist in returns for the Fusion candidateh with defeats administered principally to former Democratic office holders who, as Independent Democrats sought Fusion with the Republicans
 This was particularly evident in the contest for town clerk with the incumbent, Dora A. Egan, elected to office as @ Democrat, losing by the greatest of the small margins in the election to Mrs. Mary O Kilmartin, who ran ahead of her ticket by more than 160 votes. The totals added last night showed Mrs Kilmartin to have 19,292 votes against 18,S69 for Mis Egans, a ma jority of 42S.
 In the case of the contest for reg istrar of voters, Registrar Albert O Taller, Republican swamped his running mate, Thomas J. Wall, com peting as an Independent Democrat for reelection, Wall getting less than 5000 votes of the Independent Democrats compared to Faller's more than 14,000 Republican ballots.
 City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice, polling 19,l20 votes in the flrtst count, apparently won from Moru- mer J. Calvin, Jr., Republican, by 115 votes.
 But the contest for city sheriff provided one of the strangest situa- tions in election annals when, by early count, City Sheriff Angelo Nardona apparently had boiled 19,- i0l votes against the estimeted 9,lOO votes cast for Domenic Barbiert, Republican. Mistakes of only one tabulation in this vote would clinch election of either candidate.
 On the face of the mixed returns lest night, the thousands of voters awaiting some ofiicial word of who won, thronged downtown Water bury, striving to learn which of then faVorite candidates might give them cause to celebration. Far into the night and through early morning, horns of celehrants secuted sleep for the less interested while the out. come remained in doubt when the voting machines, under special poe
