Was II The Work OF Madmen7

The ever popular Mahoney and Faye have
added something to their familiar routines
that should please theater audiences from
coast to coast. We are not surprised to hear
that they have been booked into the Palace"
Pat closed the ScTapbook and put it down
on the floor beside him. From the inside
pocket of his jacket he took a wallet. 1t
bulged with papers and cards. He was an
honorary Elk, honorary police chief Of Wichita
in 1927, FriaT, Lamb.
Carefully protected by an isinglaSs guard
were some snapshots. They were faded now,
but anyone could see they were pictures Of
Nora with little Jerry at various stages Of his
growth. There was Jerry at six months, Jerry
at a year, Jerry at four years. And Nora,
smiling gently at her son. The love seemed to
shine right out of the pictures, Pat thought.
Pat replaced the pictures and put the wallet
back in his pocket. He got up from his chair
and moved toward the stairway. People who
knew him would have been surprised. No one
had ever seen Pat when his movements weren't
brisk and youthful. He could still 60 into a
tap routine at the drop Of hat, and he always
gave the impression that he was on the verge
of doing so. Now he moved slowly, almost
painfully "a tired old man, with no need to
hide it from anyone. There was no one to
hide it from; Jerry was missing, Liz was gone.
tie climbed to the second floor and
turned to the attic door. He opened it, switched
on the lights, and climbed up to the area under
the caves. There he opened the wardrobe trunk
he'd shown to Haviland. From the left side
he took out the cowboy outfit = the chaps,
the boots, the vest and shirt and Stetson hat,
and the gun belt with the two jeweled six
shooters. Slowly he carried them down to his
bedroom on the second floor. There Pat
Mahoney proceeded to get into costume.
He stood, at last, in front Of the full-length
mirror on the back cf the bathroom door.
The hgh-heeled boots made him q couple of
inches taller than usual. The Stetson was set
on his head at a rakish angle. The jeweled
chaps and vest glittered in the sunlight from
the window. Suddenly old Pat jumped into
f1at-footed stance, and the guns were out of
the holsters, spinning dizziy and then pointed
straight at the mirror.
Get EN- up, you lily-livered rats!' old Pat
shouted. A bejeweled gunman stared back at
him fiercely from the mirror.
Then, slowly, ne turned away to a silver
picture frame on his bureau. Nora, as a very
young girl, looked out at him with her gentle
smile.
It'll be all right, honey" Pat said. you'll
see. It'll be another boffo, honey. Don't you
worry about your boy. Don't you ever worry
about him while I'm around. You'll see."

II was a terrible day for Clayton, but
Gertrude Mayor, the chief operator in the
telephone Office, said afterward that perhaps
the worst moment for her was when she
spotted old Pat Mahoney walking down the
main street = right in the middle of the street
- dressed in that crazy cowboy outfit. He
walked slowly, looking from right to left,
staying right on the white line that divided
the street.
I'd seen it hundred times before in
the MOVIES" Gertrude Naylor said, afterward.
"A cowboy, walking down the street of a
deserted town, waiting for his enemy to appear
- waiting for the moment to draw his guns.
Old Pats hands foated just above those crazy
guns in his holster, and he kept rubbing the
tips Of his fingers against his thumb. l showed
him to Millie, and we started to laugh, and
then, somehow, il seemed about the most
awful thing Of all. Jerry Mahoney had muir
dered those kids and here was his old man,
gone nutty as a fruitcake."
Old MIR. Granger, in the bank, had much
the same reaction when the aged, bejeweled
gun toter walked up to the telIer's window.
Good morning, MIR. Granger" Pat said,
cheerful1y
Mr.. Granger mOistened his pale lips. GOOD
morning, Pat"
You're not too busy this morning, l see,"
Pat said
'N-no," MIR. Granger said. The killers
father = dressed up like kid for the circus.
He's ready for a padded cell, Mr.. Granger
thought.
Since you're not so busy" Pat said, I'D
like to have a look at the detailed statement
of my account for the last three months" AS
he spoke, he turned and leaned against the
counter, staring out through the plate-glaSs
bank window at the street. His hands stayed
near the guns, and he kept rubbing his finger
tips against the ball of his thumb.
You get a statement each month, Pat"
Mr.. Granger said.

statement for the last three MONTHS Pat said.

Granger said later. $50 went back in the
vault to get his records out of the files. Well,
was just inside the vault door when he spoke
again, in the most natural way. IF were
you, Mr.. Granger he said, I'D close that
vault door, and I'D stay inside, and I'D set
off all the alarms l could lay my hands on.
You're about to be stuck up. MIR. Granger
well, thought it was part Of his crazi-
ness" MIR. Granger said, later. 81 thought he
meant he was going to stick up the bank.

Hoffo Promises
To Prod Union
On Discrimination

Miami, F"ND. Thames r. Hof-
ia, president of the Transfers
Union, has assured the NAACP
that he win send a directive to
each of the 1872 locals affiliated
with the international union call
ing their attention to the anti
discrimination provisions of the
unions constitution.
This assurance and a promise of
full cooperation in resolving prob
lens of discrimination submitted
to him was given during a two
hour conference here on Feb. IL
with Herbert Hill, NAACP labor
secretary; Franklin H. Williams,
NAACP West Coast regional Sec
retary-counsel; and Rev. Maurice
Dawkins, president of the Associ-
atoms Los Angeles branch.
The conference was arranged in
an effort to settle a four-month-
old protest movement in Los An
geles against the Anheuser-Busch
Brewery for refusal to employ
Negroes. The company, which
brews Budweiser beer, has told
NAACP leaders in Los Angeles
that under its contract with the
Transfers it hires only members

Of that union referred TO the eorn-
pany. The Los Angeles MACE
has been urging consumers to re-
fuse to purchase Budweiser beer
as long as minority groups are
denied equal employment oppor-
tunities by the company.
The NAACP delegation met with
Mr.. Hoffa and members Of his
executive committee. They cited
not only Los Angeles but instances
of discrimination on the part of
the union in other cities. Mr.. Hill
told the Transfers leaders that
many cases have been filed against
locals of the union with state and
local fair employment practices

RCA Victor is out with a new

In fact, the record and the play
are interchangeable, with each in

one has yet determined the in

there is no question but that fans
who have seen the play are buy

spectacle, while countless others
have been sold on the show after
first hearing the recording. 1t all
adds up to a successful two-way
financial venture.

Man Wed To
Mill City Girl
Held For Biqumv

Kansas City Mo A 25-year-old
man who has admitted marrying
two girls within a years time was
arraigned on a bigamy charge this
week He is While Ray Stevenson.
1922 Wabash Ave. Stevenson also
uses the surname Blackwell and
spriggs and the alias Ray Black
well.
Stevenson's polygamous leanings
came to light last week when he
deserted his second Witt TO return
TO his first.
Mrs. Gloria Bush Blackwell, 20,
told police that she was married
to Stevenson Blackwell in Mason
City, Iowa on October 3, 1855. The
mother of a 22-month old son, Mrs
Blackwell is expecting a second
child in seven months. A resident
of Minneapolis, Gloria said that
she eloped with While after her
parents objected 10 the romance.
The couple moved to Kansas City
in January, 1864, living with his
mother at 1922 Troost Ave. Mrs.
Blackwell said that she learned Of
Whites previous marriage from
her mother-in-law, but took no
action at the time.
Stevenson's first wife, Mrs. Shir-
ley Coopage spriggs, to whom he
was married on February 5, 1855,
said she knew nothing Of his sec
ond marriage and, according to
police officers, didn't care as long
as he (stevenson) left her alone"
1t seems Mrs spriggs needn't
worry on that score.
Stevenson, 1922 Wabash, was ar
raigned Monday before Magistrate
stuart Blackburn on a bigamy
charge and was ordered held in
the county Jail when he failed to
post bond set at $1,000, A pre-
