"But why all the extra mayhem.
Joey? Munsey was almost kaput
when you got through with him."
Joey moved forward irritably,
his mouth expanding. Then his
voice broke and joey fell apart.
II had to do it-even if l killed
him! The double-cross gets me
crazy. 1t had to be Munsey!"
"The torturing had nothing to
do with Munsey. Munsey paid off.
You knew that before you went
down to Bank Street"
Joey's head rocked. His voice
was a whisper: "Yeah, l gave it to
Munsey as a blind" His voice
cried a little. "Munsey paid off on
a bet that was never made"
Joey, you aren't worth wood
en- nickel as man. The only other
guy that checks in slips besides
yourself is Lederer-according co
your own statement. Lederer
planted the slip marked 1863 after
the winning returns came in. He
paid Big Joe to keep his trap shut
or maybe just told him. With a
frame-up rugged and earmarked
for you, you didn't have the CUTS
to make a direct move.
"The white thing to have done
was to open up to the cops or
stand off with a gun in each hand
and defend yourself and your en-
pire against attack. But you were
afraid, Joey. You got to thinking
how much you had at stake and it
drove you nuts with fear"

asking you a few questions?"
Joey sagged to the edge of his
bed, looking vacant, saying moth
ing. II suppose you won't tell
me more about Lederer and what
he's after and what he had to do
with Herr and a lot more stuff"
81 don't squeal," Joey said,
els it an ethics, Joey-or just
plain terror? Are you going to
let Lederer pick up all the mar
bles?"
Jigger rang the alarm to get
the tableau over with.
