Just as I got out of the radius of the automobile lights I fell over a stump on the edge of the embankment. I was in kind of a peculiar predicament and I had to get hold of the stump to pull myself up, and just as I did that some fellow behind me swung with a blackjack and grazed my temple, knocking me to my knees. I got up and he grabbed hold of me and we both fell down the bank together.
He caught him on Broadway, a day or two later, and Crimmins walloped him over the head with a blackjack. Waterbury went to the hospital, and came next to dying. Crimmins went to jail.

You can't really fake them not after you've once known the real thing. And as it happens I have known it, for I came from a village up that way myself. "And, then, I was curious, too. I've always had a private opinion that if chance hadn't pitchforked Conway into the prize-ring he'd have made a grand success as a blackjack artist or a second-story man.
At the same instant he swung the loaded cane upon the shoulders of the upright man, missing his head. The second man swung a blackjack. The first, with a bleeding face staggered to his feet.

But Locke had her up and behind him in a second. Three other emissaries appeared as though by magic and attacked him on all sides. Locke's automatic had been lost when he fell into the cellar. Consequently he grabbed up one of the café chairs, which he wielded like a club. One emissary had worked around until he was at one side of Locke and almost behind him, a blackjack raised in his hand.
The entrance could then be effected in the security of the little passage; the rear door of the passage would be silently locked against interruption; the door leading into the president's office, where the president sat with his back to the door, would be silently opened then a quick leap, soundless on the heavy carpet the blow of a blackjack the limp body caught and lowered to the floor the documents secured the escape.
An individual who bore the name of "One Eye Jack" boarded with us and I could always depend upon him in time of trouble. His vocation for a long time was a mystery, until one evening, as I was passing down a side street, he popped out from an alley and with uplifted blackjack would have felled and robbed me had he not recognized the unearthly yell I gave.
Thode sheered the topic away from his late antagonist, and Billie followed his lead. "Of course you must," she said cordially. "You'll find the whole works going; monte, Fairbank, stud and blackjack. There's roulette and craps, too, but it's mostly the women who go after them." "And you do you play?" He could not forebear the question. "Dad says there never was a good bartender yet who drank."
