PAGE EIGHT I - A bl oo b T s by Robert Bruce ~ © 1935 NEA Senvice, Inc BEGIN HERE TODAY Jean Dunn, pretty 21-year old secretary, and Bobby Wal lace, young automobile sales man, spend an cvening at The Golden Feather night club. Art Lanning, the proprietor introduces them to Sandy Har kins, who explains he is in Dover on business. Sandy and Jean dance. When he asks if he can telephcne her she evades. Later Sandy has a myste rious conversation with two men who méntion Jean's em ployer, Donald Montague, and hint they “may be able to do some business. Larry Glenn, federal agent, talks with Jean and Bobby. After they leave Mike Hagan, detective on the local police force, joins Larry, who shows him sevcral photographs of a pretty gir‘l and asks, “Ever sce her hefore?” Explaining her presence in Dover, Larry recites details of ~ a recent bank robbrey. | NOW GO ON WITH THE STOR' CHAPTER V. ‘ The girl, Larry explained, camel into the stery indirectly, but she might well prove the keéy to lhell whole puzzle. To make clear her| connection with everything it w.'-u-xl necessary to do a little more ox-l plaining. “Everybody down there had the jitters,” he said. “They were all’ too excited to know what they’d seen and what .they hadn’t seen., The stenographer was no help at’ all. Evidently she'd never taken her eyes off the pistol that hadl been pointed at her. The youngl teller wasn't buch better. . “Oh, he gave us descriptions, of course. But you know what these descriptions amount to—‘medium height, clean-shaven, dark hair, weighs about 160 pounds, wore a {Tlue suit and a panama hat.’ Lord, toou could arrest any one of 50,- 0 people on a description like that! The only fellow we really got anything from was the old cashier. ; “He'd been the worsi seared off any. of them, but he did remem-’ ber one thing. The gunman whnl took him under his wing had been the one with the bag into which all the loot was dumped; and the old chap did manage to notice the‘ hand that held the bag—the left hand, it was. He said that the index finger of this hand was missing. He was sure W that, even if he didn’t know Whether the man had gray eyes, brown eves, or glass eyes. Apparently he'd kept his gaze riveted on that ~hand all through the holdup. “Well, that was about all we had in the way of identification. ‘A missing, index finger on the left hand. Not much to go on, is it?” Hagan chewed his cigar and shook his head. “Well, it turned out to be quite a lot,” said Glenn. “Or I should say that we hope it'll turn out to be quite a lot. You see, 1 got off a report to the head office in Washington at once, and 1 en-f closed that bit about the mrissing finger, of course. It was the only | definite description of any- of these men that I had. ~ “Now here's where the Division g.t Investigation is really valuable. hey've got more records down | ;herg_ in Washington than you can | shake a stick at. They've got mil jons of fingerprints — literally znmions—«:lassified . in every con jaiva,ble way. ' They've got every eriminal record they've beeén able to lay hands on. They've got de seriptions, fingerprints, photo klgmphs. and so on of just about every known crook in the United ;tates. and all are classified 8o | that you can look ’em up in al mst anyway you can think of. “Look, now. All we knew was that here was a bank robber who avas minus the index finger on his Jest hand. Now among other ways of classification, they have all the| grooks of whom they have any record clgssified according to de-‘ mtiefi‘, injuries, scars, and so Zl.n“,So somebody down there takes this meager little description of ours and starts riffling through his cards, After about an hour, he discvoers that there are in the United States exactly four men with criminal records who lack ghat particular finger. He got] their cards out and had a look. + “Ont of them is a safe-cracker awho is now right in the middle of a 10-year stretch in the Massa- | chusetts state prison. That Ilet him out as far as this job was concerned, of course. The second was a Chicago racketeer who got put on the spot and killed with a Joad of slugs from a sawed-off tgun just two months ago. m third was a fake oil stock promoter who did a stretch in Atlanta prison and got out two’ years ago. He's living in Florida ow. It took one of our men from Miami office just half a day to ove that he hasn’t been within 50%1 miles of this Neola bank for cight months. “That left us with just one man. He's a bird named Lewis—Wingy Lewis, they call him, due appar ently to the fact that he got ‘Winged’ once by a bullet in some saloon fight or other and thereby lost his telltale index finger. Now this Wingy Lewis used to be al confidence man out west. A year or s 0 ago he's believed to have Joined the bank-robbing mob of { the notorious Red Jackson.” ! Hagan nodded thoughtfully. | h—-' USED CARS Georgia Motors Inc.

It indicates, to begin with, that this job was the work of Red Jackson's gang. It gives us an avenue of appreach to the case. Instead of just hav ing a missing finger to go aQ, we've a name, a photograph, a set of fingerprints, and so on.” “Did you show this Wingy guy's photos to the bank people?” asked Hagan. “Of course, They identified it, but in a rather hesitant and un certain way. Honestly, they were all so jittery . that I'm not at all sure that their identification would stand up in court. There’s a perfectly good chance, of course, that our four-finger bandit is someone we never heard of befone —-someone that never got arrest ed and consequently has no rec ord at Washington, But we're working on probabilities, and so far the probablities seem to point in the direction of Red Jackson's| outfit.” i “Well. that makes it 'all very simple,” drawled Hagan with a grin, “All you've got to do now ~is round up Red Jackson.” Larry grinned ruefully. *Yeah simple, isn’'t it?” he asked. “The gang has dropped out of sight. Nobody knows where they hang out. The fact of the matter un doubtedly is, of course, that they keep drifting back from one part of the country to another. They used to hang out in Chicago, but according to the best information we can get they haven't been there in months. That Neola holdup makes it look as if they're working their way east through the middle west, but we've noth ing more to go on. “But I have got this much of a lead. It seems that about six months ago our friend Wingy be came smitten with the charms of one Evelyn Brady, featured, in a minor way, on one of these middle western burlesque) olrouits . « I strip dancer, or something. I “Anyhow, Evelyn went for Win gy just as hard as Wingy went for her. She quit the burlesque busi ness cold and stuck to Wingy. I've l heard that ~she actally married| him; I don’t know whether that'y true or not, but I'm pretty wel)' satisfied that where Evelyn is, i there—or thereabouts—Wingy is also. “Now I'm coming to the point of all this. The hunt for Wingy has more or less resolved itself into 2 hunt for Evelyn, so I've been making inquiries.. Until re cently, I could find no trace of the girl. -Then, a week ago, I goti transferred. They - put me in charge of the regional office here in Dover. T no sooner got settled here than I bethought me that one of the burlesque houses in this city is on the circuit which our friend Evelyn once adorned l with her girlish - beauty.” Hagan gaped at him, round eyved. A “What beautiful English ” hel murmured. Larry grinned and| tamped out his ciraget in the ash tray at his elbow. “So,” he said, “I dropped around and got acquainted with the man-‘ ager of the theater—without, of | course, letting on that I'm with thel ‘Department of Justice. And he| said, after a while, that someone| or other had told him that Evelyn)! has been seen right here in Dover)| i recently . ' | “The next step 'was fairly ob-'| | vious. All of these mobsters and their satellites are bound to play the hot spots. They just can’t stav | away from jofnts like this Golden Feather. So the thing to do was to keep snooping abbut these night clubs, keeping the eves. open for. provided that 21l our information is correct, we ought to begin get ting the scent of Wingy; and if we do that, we'll be on Red Jack son’s trail.” He put the sheaf of photographs back in his pocket. “So there you have it all,” he said, : Hagan nodded absently and stared off into a cloud of ‘drifting cigar smoke. At last he shruggeg despondently. “You don’t know how lucky yon are,” he said. “Being with the Department of Justice. Look at the way you guys can operate, and then compare it with the way we have to work here in Dover. Now—l guess I wrote you, didn't I, that I got promoted to sergeant in the detective bureau last month?” ' Larry nodded. “Well,” said Hagan, “look at the difference. With youn people, the chief problem is to find out who you want and where he is. With us, the tough part is to try to figure out some way of doing anything to the guy after we do find all that out. In the first place, we haven't got the facilities you people have. If he goes outside of Dover, we have to trust to luck that the coppers in the next town will co-operate with us and pick him up, and like as not they won't. If he stays in Dover, he's probably a friend of some politic ian or other—so what happens? We pick him up, book him, .turn him over to the prosecutor; then he hires Dan Montague or some other high-powered mouthpiece, and there’s some ‘now you see it now you don't’ business off behind the scenes, and first thing we know he's loose again, and we have to grin and take it. “And the worst of it is, the peo ple see these ‘known criminals’ walking the street and say, ‘Aw, the cops are all crooked or they'd arrest those birds.” We're not crooks! We want to do our duty just the same as you want to do yours .. " 2 He locoked earnestly at Larry, and there was something almost pathetic about the look on his honest, brick-red face. “I know, Mike,” he said. “You don't need to explain. Fortunately, the De partment of Justice is immune to that sort of thing.” Hagan looked moodily at the tablecloth. Suddenly Larry re- ‘ membered something. ~ “What'd you say was the name of the lawyer” who springs so many of these birds?” he asked. “Montague. Donald Montague. He's got more crooks out of jail than you can shake a stick at. And it's not all because he's a good trial - lawyer, either. His clients usually don't come to trial. Why?” “Oh—" Larry hesitated. ‘“There's a girl in Dover, comes from my home town. I feel sort of respon sible for her. ‘Anyhow, she works for him.” “Well,” said Hagan, “I suppose he’s all right to work for.” “Yeah. But I met her here in the Golden Feather tonight. She said Montague had introduced her to Lanning, the proprietor. And al though this was her first visit here, Lanning had already intro duced her to some good-looking stranger and she’d been dancing with him.” Hagan frowned. “Tell her to lay off,” he advised. “Montague as a boss ought to be okay: Montague introducing a gir! to this Lanning—he's a snake, by the way—and Lanning introducing her to somebody else. . . . Larry, if the girl means anything to you, head it off somehow. I don't like the looks of it.” (To Be Continued.) ervrirgeghe i BARRYMORES DIVORCED LOS ANGELES +— (# — Dolores Costello and J&n Barrymore, whose screén romances led to their marriage : seven years ago, were divorced Wednesday, the blue-eyed former film star.charging deser tion, - THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA [we CERTAINLY | o : NEED SOME NEW 3 FURNITURE FOR - . .
