Ten Years — A City's Gift to Me
(Continued from page one)
"Where is your car?"
grease, uncooked potatoes, wilted lettuce—too wilmed.
Three days I searched for employment. I was foot-sore and mentally tired. Then I met a man whom I had known in the country. His name was Hubert Davis. He had come to the city two years before.
"I am lonesome," I admitted. I arose and offered my seat. Even a stranger could quiet the home-sickness I felt. We spoke of many things, and I was able to talk with them to, and to, and
One afternoon a girl sauntered up the oil-flecked drive and stopped before me.
"You look lonesome. Let's talk a while," she said.
"I haven't any. Can't we ride the bus?"
We conversed, and I learned he was a successful business man. A filling station on Thirty-first street bore his name. He drove a large sedan. His clothes were expensive. The next morning I went into his employ as an attendant of the filling station.
Although my experiences were limited in this phase of urban industry, in a short time alembic cars became a routine. I spent much of my time idle, sitting on an old chair beside the pumps.
"Sure thing," she agreed. That evening, I called at her home. We walked to the office.
I entered a durg store nearby and called a taxi. The evening cost me eighteen dollars—fifty cents less than my week's wages. I realized my affairs with women would not be excessive.
"A taxi would be more convenient."
Many were the revelations I had during my first days in the employee of Davis. Each week I received a case of Boccardi Rum from Waldo Emerson, a protected bootlegger. Four or five nights a week I drove Davis home to serve him hot coffee and raw tomatoes and put him to bed. His absence from the station grew more frequent, and prolonged. She was a strong supporter of this girl. This girl gave me more encouragement than I had received elsewhere, for she realized what poor financial status and lack of friends were doing to me. Although my former reticence was gone, my $18.50 a week gave me a small margin for amusement. My board and room was $11. My laundry was $1, and $3 went to an installment house each month. The rooms, clothing and haberdasheries I had purchased. The remaining $8.50 vanished quickly on incidentals.
"If you'd drive the car, a rented one, you will receive two-fifths of the haul. If we are captured you realize you will be stuck the same as I. Think I'll convince the car that just drove upon the runway."
I wanted friends, and to get friends I had to have
I often sat in my chair at the station and dreamed of my $18 date those weeks ago, although I realized that I would be dead by now.
I left the office. I twisted the grease gun and pressed the trigger automatically. I needed the money. No doubt of it. Ten thousand. A huge sum to anyone. Larger to me. Systemically I listed causes and results. If I were caught my past would be obliterated. My future would be prison or more crime. My reasons for participating in the rebellion are not obvious. I close my mouth permanently in some odor manner, possibly death. I realized that my future partner in crime was no novice. Before the revelation was thrust into my face I was blind, but now several pointed facts assured me that my employer was a lone wolf. He had few friends. He was absent for days. His expenditures far exceeded the moderate income of the gasoline station. Often in his drunken sessions he had spoken of incidents from his life when he looked like an open book; so I did not feel that I was engaging in a fool-hardy, impulsive enterprise.
During one of these silhouettes Davis called me
into his inner office. He knew he and to the point
"You're needing money," he told me. "I am sorry I can't give you a larger salary. My own bank balances are moved into the Almo now. Sixty-five a month, a couple and several other things I can't afford."
Then he shot at me, "Would you like to make some big money?"
"I have been to St. Louis four times scouting the Banker's National. Each morning at 10:30 they carry between 25,000 and 20,000 bucks. At that time there is not much going on in the cages. Hot-slot cars on their half hour trips come at 10:10 and 10:40, so that gives us ten minutes."
He had full confidence in me. At no time dur-
ing the recitation of his plan did he waver.
Oddly enough I was not greatly shocked, "What is your plan?"
money. With half the sum I had been assured I could establish a business of my own. Be an entrepreneur.
The greasing was finished and I reentered the office.
"I'll do it," I said.
At one o'clock the following morning, Davis rented a small fast car from a drive-it-yourself agency. We drove onto the highway. Davis carried a Brownning automatic and a small reporting system. We stopped to see a map of the bank district that covered a radius of six blocks. Traffic lights were noticed; alley ways were checked, and the route of escape was decided. The bank stood on the southeast corner of Thirty-seventh Street, west of the south side of south. I was to park the car on Thirty-second street east of Chestnut at a point not more than forty feet from the side entrance of the bank. The route of escape was five blocks east to Monroe then to Bloomingdale with her back west to strike upon a side road that connected the main highway about two miles from the bank.
We arrived on the outskirts of St. Louis at 8:25 in the morning. The day was hot, and dust was thick in the air. I bought a newspaper and after eating a roll and drinking a cup of strong coffee I went home to write some articles that were of little interest to me. The proximity of the situation was unnerving me.
At 10:20 we rode rapidly to the bank. The streets were heavy with traffic. I felt for my gun and laid it in my hap. I drove across Chestnut and stopped the car beside a parked vehicle on Thirty-eight street. Davis got out and walked quickly around the corner to enter the main entrance.
I was nervous. Although at that time few banks had as yet erect guarden-cages equipped with machine guns, the possibility was strong that watchmen were somewhere near. Three minutes passed, I became alarmed. Yet I had heard no shot and it was unlikely that Davis would surrender without a fight. I stared at the square, unpretentious side exit, and raced the motor furiously.
Suddenly my comrade appeared at the door. He was burdened heavily with regulation casvags bags used by all banking concerns. He stumbled and nearly fell to the pavement in his haste but re-emerged from beneath him, holding the last floor and fung himself inside. At the same instant a shot shattered the windshield.
"What the hell," I cried.
Davis answered coolly.
Little was said on the return journey. We were tired and nerve-wrecked. My own abbreviations were far from quieted. Often, I furiously glanced into the rear-view mirror, half-expecting to see a carboard of gun-laden officers bearing down upon us. But our return was uneventful. I drove into the greene house of the Davis oil station and parked the car beside it. Then we entered into the greene pity, a narrow, tremlike alley between the runners upon which a car advances to have its underscarf grenaded.
"A watchman was in there, but I had him covered,
Give it fits." I did. We coached on our planned route at a terrific speed. We stopped for nothing.
In less than five minutes we were on the highway,
I opened the throttle wide and we quickly pulled away from the city of St. Louis.
"Let's see what we got," Davis said. We descended and crouched upon our haunches and divided our lot. I received $12,500, more than I had expected.
The following day I quit the mental servitude I had grown to hate. My intention was to find a business I could enter. A grocery store would bring a profitable income. I studied the newspapers for a likely enterprise. I found it in a wealthy suburb, where I met a friend who returned to the filling station I had deserted to speak to Davis of my venture. As I drove up in a new roadster I had purchased I noticed Davis in the station gesticulating in the intoxicated manner that was so familiar to me. Two men were seated beside him. A sharp twinge of apprehension ran through his face. Before I could speak one man nodded toward me.
"Yea. Want you to meet my friend," fellows. Then turning to me he said, "just been tellin' these boys 'bout our nest, I'll job, an' was it neat, l'll job? You're dams right."
"Is this the young man you have been telling us of, Davia?"
I have served two years of my ten. The prison has washed out my harvest tan. The twine factory has hamished all callows. I still am without friends and dream of the $18 date—for I have had none since.
I was stupefied. I had walked into the trap this inebriate had unwittingly laid. The two detectives led us to their car. My mind drifted back to the crime scene, where a man had been penalty, prison. Past obliterated. Future: crime.

QUILI
The town of Sweetwater Lake, forms a half circle around the edge of a lake. The circle is completed by several high cliffs which lean out over the water. The lake is nearly round and about a mile and a half in diameter. It has swampy meadow and makes its exit over a dam at the opposite end. Several snow peaks can be seen in the distance toward the divide. The town is thirty-five miles from the nearest small town and the one road out of Sweetwater is a narrow ledge running northwest along the river. It reaches the Colorado River and a better路.
For eight months of the year the entire town lives in a single one-story log house of six rooms. The inhabitants at this time are the State Ranger, "Diana" Bassett, a fire officer and gangsters, who are on "Diamond" Jack's payroll; an old trapper, the ranch owner, and an elderly woman, who cooks for them. During the four remaining months of spring and summer the wide porch around the long cabin is hung with canvas curtains to provide shade. Hotel The inhabitants of the cabin during the winter return to their summer cottages with the coming of spring. They appear again at the Hotel after the summer tourists have departed. Since the Hotel is located in the heart of downtown Post Office and the citizeness and tourists buy their groceries and fishing tackle out of the Hotel kitchen.
The steel-heads, grayling and lake trout which live in the lake, and particularly in the deep water shaded by the cliffs, bring most of the tourists and inhabitants to Sweetwater. However, as a notable feature of Sweetwater, the residents are the Hotel owner, brings that he never caught or tried to catch a fish and moreover, he didn't come to Sweetwater to fish, "Diamond" Jack Alterie owns most of Sweetwater and is the outstanding person in the town. He presents himself as a ranchman, always wearing riding helmet and has been known for ten one on his tie, and a fancy-tooled leather belt and holster containing a black automaton evolver. He rides an Arabian cavalry horse and has appeared in several western rodees and at the Stock Show in Denver. He is a very fine horseman. The man is diamond-tailed in his personality, his appearance and thinks that he is viewing for the first time in his life a real he-man, a Westerner of the brave out-spoken type. Sweetwater Lake ceases to be a typical fishing camp when the colorful "Diamond" jack appears and the town is known and admired by the positive influence which Jack creates in the most casual hearts.
Jack, an Italian, was born in the slums of Chicago. He had never been west of Springfield, Illinois after his twenty-five birthday. His Italian parents allowed him to "just grow up" in Cairo, Illinois. He went to New York as a politician. Within ten years he was boss of the Italian district and remained as its leader for five years. As a side occupation, "Diamond" Jack smuggled liquor, hi-jacked, and through his gang engaged in sundry illicit pursuits. He sold the Italian vote in Chicago to the highest bidder and was very successful in all his attempts to win the Italian vote to Mayor "Big Bill" Thompson. Another Italian gang-leader, Scarface Al Capone, sold the same vote to the opposing party. At the election the Italians voted as Capone had directed. Jack's gang broke up. In fact, after a running-gum battle with Capone's gang, it was badly broken up by a group from left Chicago. It was several days later that "Diamond" Jack saw the Rocky Mountains for the first time, but he has lived in them ever since. He admits that is for his health. Can you picture five gay horsemen flying across the pastures shooting at cans on top of the fence posts? That is a favorite pasture during the distillery back in the mountains, and there is a whispering that the two new sport touring cars standing in front of the Hotel cost a total of $15,000. They are specially garged for great speed. The cabin has been successfully raided on several occasions by Federal officers. Recently, certain gangsters have been accused of stealing. One of Jack's gangsters has been on crutches since that time.
