PAGE FOUR’ * - J Chapter ,26 2 > ? THE Imperial cut through the heat on’ the road ‘ba¢k. dt a sixty-mile-an-hour clip, with every mife'an indecision. Lederer on the floog of the cab looked like a man-who had only minutes left, his head and, faee red-lac- quered with dried biddd? It, would be awkward explaining, Lederer’s condition. Jigger left the Imperi- al a discreet fifty .yards, from a roadside diner and ran‘’for the telephone. A’hearn’s affability dwindled to minus in sixty seconds flat: “What kind of a gag is ‘this, Jigger? I'll do nothing of the kind.” Jigger made it very plain and left the psychological’ burden with A’hearn: “Lederer’s.in one mess fifty yards‘ off the road in the bushes. You'll find him on a direct forty-five-degree angle from roadside diner. I got-it as a tip from a_ source I’ve always found reliable...and don’t ask me to disclose my sources. Lederer killed Birdie and Pop Lynch. Youll have to sweat ‘him: for proof or wait until something more turns up—if Lederer lives long enough . . - which he won't unless you whizz up with a police ambulance pronto,” ; A’hearn’ was! almost, : tearful: “What’ja want to go and conk him for—and.as hard as you did!” “I didn’t conk. him. I been in a movie all morning. You can explain it as.an anonymous tip. But hurry. The way I was told he looked the whole’ thing is only fifteen minutes from homicide.” A’hearn’s words clapped back, sentences colliding with each other: “If it is homocide, you'll burn and re-burn in the hot seat! I gotta hunch ‘you: left.the razor blades that Joey cut hts: wrists with.” my _“You’re crazy as a Bedbug!” Jigger said, slight shive¥g going through him. , ‘“Am -I? It’s queer how Joey got himself a pack of five brand new single-edge blades: and a toothbrush with a Gimbels paper bag and a sales slip with forty- nine cents and the date: printed 2 a ee oem - The Weather Key Westiand ‘Vieini today} tonight ang Frida scatteted showers..this..afternoon or_ tonight.

Get going and get wise, A’hearn, or you and I will be principals in a rewrite of the Becker-Rosen- thal case.” pecan Nevers greeted Jig- ger with a will to be young and —— to light the fires in her body. Jigger decided to let her have it right from the floor. He flashed his fake police badge and watched the bubbling flame in her face and body go out at once. Blossom. gurgling curses was an unclassified Blue Book of four- letter words. Out of the gurgling emerged a temperate: “So you're a dirty rat of a policeman playing up to me t’ frame me.” “This isn’t a reefer pinch, Blossom. It’s a murder rap. Bir- die and Lederer killed a doctor named Herz before Lederer killed Birdie. We figure you as at least an accessory.” “You're lying! Why should I believe you?” Jigger set out to convince her, her face quizzing every sound he made, every movement of his face: “Lederer killed Birdie to insure that Joey would go to the chair and leave him sole title to Joey’s numbers re Ask -your- self: why should Joey kill Bir- die? There was no percentage in it for him.” Blossom was knitting her brow and Jigger continued, “Lederer was afraid Birdie could- n’t be trusted with what he knew. He figured Birdie was a. cluck, dumb without brains. You know that. I was here the day he yelled it from the bedroom. I’m giving it to you straight. Lederer’s under arrest and has confessed.” Blossom said in a husky voice, sitting in a crouch, “Lederer turned Birdie’s head with talk of big money. Birdie was doing all right until Lederer came along.” The great heave of re- sistance was gone in Blossom. | ! THURSDAY PEACE PLATE ! _For a meat dish that embraces good eating and economy, and ob- | serves eggless-poultryless Thurs- day, the Consumer Service Section of the Citizens Food Committee suggests a Peace Plate of Pan- Fried Liver. Served with fried onions, well-seasoned canned corn, and cole slaw, with a Deep-Dish | Orange Apple Pie for dessert, it ' will make a meal your family will relish, PAN-FRIED LIVER | (Beef, lamb, or calves’) ! Have liver sliced 42 inch thick and | allow 44 pound with mp cloth and dry, then remove outsid® skin and tubes if any. Dredge | with flour (seasoned with salt and pep- r), or dip first in milk and then ! dredge with flour. Fry in hot fat in skillet about 5 to 8 minutes depending upon individual taste, turning occasion- ally until well browned. Serve with or without bacon. Bacon drippings, but- ter, fortified margarine, salad oil, or any shortening may be used for pan- frying liver. | DEEP-DISH ORANGE APPLE .

Building Inspector Harry Bak- er issued a permit yesterday to A. Maitland Adams for the con- struction of a residence in Mar- 'tello Towers.

I’d like to know what you know.” ioe Blossom spoke in pauses: “Led- erer had Birdie going all over the. country with a suitcase of stuff. . . . Birdie carried ‘a. list of people he was to see and turn the stuff over to.” . ; ’ and: pam- “You mean leaflets phlets like the package I mailed back to you last week?” Blossom looked up at” him gloomily: “So you was the one wes ps riggner oe valise?” igger n , shrugging -a@ friendly what - else - ae - t- do shrug. ; “Yeh. That was Birdie’s work for Lederer, : “Lederer was workin’ in ‘with that hatchet-puss Mrs. Herz—so Birdie told me. Their game: was to start up trouble anywhere they could.” ; “Exactly how, Blossom? What else about it did. Birdie tip you to?” Blossom stuck a reefer in her mouth and lit’ it herself, let- ting Jigger’s match remain burh- ing between _his fingers.’ Jigger prompted, “How did ‘they. start up trouble, Blossom? What's the use in closing up on me now?” “When them Mexicans : that wore zoot suits were raising hell in California, Lederer had Birdie ship a trunkful of papers there, most of them printed in Spani: Jigger said vngenlle hat did the papers say, lossom?”. '. .-*. “I think I remember Birdie saying ‘the idea was to spread around something about: . Mexican kids bein’ beaten‘ and killed in the police station. Anyhow, whenever the papets said there was doings somewhere, sure as fate Birdie had to go there.” ‘ Sacha oh Sees “Where did. all. that. printed em come from?

Timely Food Tips: In pan-frying liver, be careful not to overcdéok it. Long cooking toughens livér and makes it less palatable. It's a good idea to let the slices fparticue larly if they are cut rather thick) come to room temperature béfore frying as they are cooked so short a time. ‘ : Canned corn can be used in sév. eral delicious ways: sim sea- soned with butter or fortified mar- garine, salt and pepper; or ‘séal- loped; or with a little cream, chopped parsiey, salt, and pepper.
