And everything being as it should be, and Tony being locked safely up in a cell, Mr. Joey Simpkins set himself to the task of extorting three hundred and fifty dollars more from Mrs. Mathusek upon the plea that the great Mr. Hogan could not possibly conduct the case before a jury for less. Now the relations of Mr. Assistant District Attorney O'Brien and the Hon.
So his twenty-two fellow grand jurymen politely permitted him to recall Officer Delany and ask him: "Say, officer, isn't it a fact just tell us frankly now if this feller Mathusek isn't a gangster?" "Sure, he's a gangster. He was blowin' about it to me after I arrested him," swore Delany without hesitation. The foreman swept the circle with a triumphant eye. "What'd I tell you?" he demanded.
Hogan's assistant, are you not?" "Yes, sir!" quavered the anxious Simpkins. "How much money have you taken from Mrs. Mathusek?" "Four hundred and thirty-five dollars." "For what?" sharply. "For protecting her son." "Where? How?" "Why from his arrest to the present time and for his defense here in General Sessions." "Have either you or Mr.
"Ve'll get rid of him for good, eh?" "Sure," assented Delany. "Come along, you!" Tony Mathusek lifted a white face drawn with agony from his tortured arm. "Say, mister, you got the wrong feller! I didn't break the window. I was just comin' from the house " "Aw, shut up!" sneered Delany. "Tell that to the judge!" "Y' ain't goin' to take me to jail?" wailed Tony. "I wasn't with them boys.
Mathusek in such a web of apprehension that rather than face her fears she would if necessary go out and steal the money. So Mr. Raphael B. Hogan hung up the receiver and with his heart full of gentle sympathy for all mankind walked slowly home, pausing to get some roses for Mrs.
"All in favor of indicting said Tony Mathusek for malicious destruction of property signify in the usual manner. Cont'riminded? It's a vote. Ring the bell, Simmons, and bring on the next case."
He was just a cog in an immense wheel of crookedness. When the wheel came down on his cog he automatically did his part. I perceive that the police are engaging too much of our attention. But it is necessary to explain why Delany was so ready to arrest Tony Mathusek, and why as he dragged him into the station house he beckoned to Mr.
Mathusek wrung her hands. Couldn't the gentleman go bail for Tony? He was such a dear, kind, good gentleman! She searched his face hungrily. Mr. Simpkins falteringly admitted that he did not possess five hundred dollars. "But " he hesitated. "Yes!" "But " she echoed, seizing his sleeve and dragging him back. Mr.
The more he thought of it the less he liked the way the son-of-a-gun had acted, the way he'd tried to get Mathusek to ask for an immediate hearing. Why had he ever been such a fool as to sign the complaint himself? It had been ridiculous just because he was mad at the boy for trying to get away and wanted to make things easy for Froelich.
And Delany's mind became at peace because he perceived that at the proper psychological moment he could go to O'Brien and whisper: "Say, Mr. O'Brien, that Mathusek case. It's a turn-out! Better recommend it for dismissal," and O'Brien would do so for the simple reason that he never did any more work than he was actually compelled to do.
