MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1936. The Wrong Murderer UPSIS: Through an amaz- of ciroumstances Terence hony Avds himself in command art of Ambrose Lawson's gan: crooks, fighting Lawson himself. Lowson 48 outwardly a clever and respectable gentleman, and al- gh Terence knows ‘of at least e major crimes he has com- ited, there is no proof that will d in court.

Wot are your plans? [t ain't going to be no sort of garden party, fight- ing against the Big Boss.” “It won’t be as bad as all that,” answered Mahony. “For one thing, ided you can keep our friend e hidden away safely, Lawson n't going to know you're up against him just yet. You'd better see to Lake right away, before | say any more. Catch hold of him, Barney.” Barney shot out a huge hand, grabbed Lake by the shoulder, jerked him to him, and held him firmly. Lake opened his mouth to yell, but Barney’s left hand came firmly down on his face, effectively shutting out any sound. “Will 1 give him a crack on the head, just to make sure he'll keep quiet?” asked Barney. By HUGH CLEVELY was being done, Mahony we through the contents of his pockets. They consisted of a bunch of keys, a cigar-case, a note-case, and various odds and ends. In the note-case was about twenty pounds in money, an address book, a few visiting cards, a membership card for “The Golden Centipede Dance Club,” and a piece of blue paper on which were typed in red characters the words: “The Golden Centipede—Tuesday, and then a number of names: S. Foster, B. Cart- wright, L. Grayson. There was also a sentence: “M. Barfield to be informed that no further goods will be supplied Monday night.” Mahony glanced at this strange document with great interest. Back to his mind came the words he had heard in the crooks’ car on the night when he had rescued Elsa Little. “He probably received his instruc tions typed in red on a piece of blue paper.” one of the crooks had said. Mahony smiled slightly. He had made up his mind that he was going to be at the Golden Centipede on Tuesday evening. N “What's your name?” he asked “They call me Fatty Bassett,” re plied the fat man, A] AHONY turned to the fat man. Barney’s hand came firmly down over his face. “Not fo nneut, answered Ma hony. t his pockets to begin with. Then | want to ask him a ques tion If he won't answer you can hit ‘him as hard as you like.” Lake’s pockets were turned out and the contents emptied on the table. When that had been done, Mahony stood in front of Lake look ing him squarely in the eyes. “What's in that big book that Bar- Ney was told to steal from Lawson's house?” he demanded. Lake’s knees were trembling; his teeth were chattering with fright. He knew that if he divulged that infor- mation, and Lawson found out, his life was not worth a moment’s pur- chase. On the other hand, if he did not divulge the information . . . “If he doesn’t answer, just push his face in, Barney,” said Mahony. Lake was almost weeping. He was in a state of mind in which a man will fall on his knees and beg abject- ly for mercy. “| T—it contains documents,” whim- pered Lake. “Papers about people he—he has dealings with and—and members of. his own gang.” “People he has dealings mean people he’s blackmailing and selling drugs to,” said Mahony. “I understand that. But what are the docaments about members of his own gang?” “He's got written evidence of some criminal act against everybody who works for him—that is, every. body who works for him knowing who he is,” went on Lake. “He keeps it all pasted in a book.” “In other words, he likes to be in @ position to squeal whenever he feels inclined,” remarked Mahony. But now he knew exactly why Ross had been so anxious to get hold of that book. If he wanted to break away from Lawson, it was absolutely essential that he should get posses- sion of the evidence which Lawson held against him. “Tie him up and take him away,” he ordered. Lake wast tied up and gagged and removed from the room. While this Today’ s Birthdays, “Kight.” said Maneny. “Here are your instructions for tbe time veng, I want Lawson watched very care- fully for the next couple of days. Every time he goes out | want him followed, and | want to know where he goes, how long he stays there, and, if possible, whom he meets. Can you manage that?” “That'll be easy” answered Bas- sett. “I’m a bit of a boss meself in me own way; | can generally get a few blokes to work for me if | wants “em. Is that all you want me to do?” “1 want you to look after Barney for the time being, and see that the cops\don’t get him,” went on Ma- hony. “I shall also want you to be ready to supply me with two or three good tough men in a hurry any time I want them. How can I get in touch with you quickly?” “Ring Limehouse o-three-two-five; it’s a little pawnshop, but a message sent there will reach me in abart five minutes,” answered the fat man. “And don’t you worry abart Barney; I'll look arter ‘im orlright, Wot abart pie guv-ner? Wot are you goin’ to lo?” “I'm going now,” said Mahony. “I don’t think the cops had much chance to recognize me on that roof; I'll take a chance on it, anyway. I'll give you a ring tomorrow.” With that he left the house and emerged into the dark street. He reached the Commercial Road -un- molested and from there he took a taxi to his lodgings. In the taxi he was very thoughtful. The evening's work had not been un- Profitable. Now he had a rough crowd of supporters at his back, and he also had information which might prove distinctly useful. Mahony knew that shady night clubs are frequently used for the distribution of dope to dope addicts; the Golden Centipede might prove a fruitful source of further informa- tion regarding the details of Law- son’s organization.
