low. He could look out of his win
dow and see that entire section of
the city. He grimly pursed his
lips together as he reflected what
task lay before him in the attempt
to wrest those votes from Grad
dock. First Verda and now Jazz
Hollow. Interest would forget
neither blow. Yes, the fight would
soon not only be ONT would be
all over the place.
Clark's reflections were inter-
rupted by a cautious knock on the
door.
"Come in," Clark called.
The door opened and through it
came a man of striking appearance.
He was loudly CARRIED in a suit of
pea green flannel. His hat was a
pearly grey as were the spats that
partially covered a pair of shoes of
deep chrome yellow. His shirt was
a green of a different shade from
his suit-softer. A still softer
shade of green was the color of his
tie in which was stuck a magnifi-
cent diamond stick pin.
If one had any intention of smil-
ing at this ornate outfit, one forgot
it upon looking in the mans eyes.
Through them shone the unmis-
takeable look of the cold-blooded
killer. AS Clark looked into those
eyes, set in a coal-black, though not
unhandsome face, he reached his
hand instinctively into the top
drawer of the desk at which he was
sitting and closed it on his gun. He
somehow felt grateful now for
Twsed's advice.

tone was fat and expressiOnless.

The man approached the desL
and without being asked sat down
in a chair. He took a cigarette
from a case as ornate as his attire
i slowly Lit it, blew out the smoke
and then spoke again.
"Would it be worth $4,000 70,
your outfit to carry Jazz Hollow?'
Clark could not repress a start.
What does the stranger mean ?
How can this man, so obviously q
desperate character, assist Clark il
crushing Craddock's hold on Jazz

The district was called "Jazz Hol-

This was Interest Craddock's

Now uptown in the headquarters

that the votes in that ward were
going to play hell with somebody's
chances in the coming election. Tho

CHAPTER 8

Down in the seventeenth ward,
adjacent to the city's great indus
trial center, lived thirty-five thou
sand Negro persons of eligible vot-
ing age. While this number COM
prised less than one-third of the
Negroes over twenty-one years of
age in the metropolis, this particu-
lar group had long been known for
its political solidarity. The ma
jority of persons living in this ward
were of low economic standards. A
good one-haf of them were more
or less directly associated with the
rackets that fourished in the vi
cinity. From Seventy-ffth street
to Eighty-first, and from Calumet
avenue to Scranton, a total of
thirty-six square blocks, you could
buy anything you wanted. And if
it wasn't there, they knew where to
get it.
The very nature of the types that
inhabited this jungle of prey and
privation would necessarily make
for political acumen. The over
lords of the under and half world
could only reap their rotten harvest
because they delivered both money
and votes to acquire protection"
The depression had only served to
strengthen their hold on the in

DR.. CARR ESCAPES
TRIAL IN Staying
Kentucky to Write Final
Chapter in Denhardt Case
by Dropping Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHELBYVILLE, KY, October 23.-
The Commonwealth of Kentucky Will
write the final chapter of the blood
smeared romance of Verna Carr Tay-
lor and Brig. Gen Henry H. Dem
hardt in February, according to Coun-
ty Attorney Coleman Wright, when
murder charges against her brother,
DR.. E. S. Carr, will be dismissed.
Last night, in tumultuous court
room scene, jury of IL farmers freed
Roy Carr of similar charges of MUIR
dering the general. Several hours pre-
viously q third brother-Jack Carr
had been freed on directed verdict.
DR.. Carr did not stand trial with
his brothers. He was in an institu-
ton at nearby Peewe Valley-"too i'll
mentally" to appear in court.
Questioned on Indictment.
Asked if he would move that the
indictment be dismissed, Wright re-
piled, What would you do? If we
couldn't convict Roy, We certainly
couldn't convict DR.. Carr"
At La Grange, j. Ballard Clark,
chief of the Cars defense counsel,
said he had conferred with Wright,
and the State had agreed to dismiss
the charges against DR.. Carr.
I'VE had hoped to get it done at
this term Of court, as we wanted to
have him admitted to the United
States Veterans Hospital for treat
ment, but court had already adjourned
for the term before We could arrange
a conferences we will just have
to wait until February"
The brothers, the State charged,
shot the portly former Lieutenant
Governor and adjutant general to
death to "avenge" the death of their
sister, who they contended was killed
by the general.
Three Pleaded Self Defense.
The three Carr boys pleaded self
defense. Roy said Denhardt made a
move toward his back pocket -
The bloody story of the Cars and
the general started nearly a year
ago, when Verna Carr Taylor was
found shot to death in ditch beside q
Henry County road.
