PAGE FOUR “7 ".” ~ Ue ‘Chapter 13 ‘ Cormmened DAWSON lay on the sidewalk, enveloped in the darkness that had descended on him with the jolting impact of Harry Hawkins’ fists. “This is a sweet mess,” Haw- kins thought as he looked at the » uneonscious editor. “What in .. thunder as I going to do with him?” » He: mussed up Dawson’s coat, pulled his tie to one side and put his hat on sideways, Then, carry- ing him along at his side, he walked across Sixth Avenue. A sleepy musician, homeward bound from a night club job,’ stood on the corner eyeing the pair. “Pretty drunk, eh?” he asked Hawkins. ; Hawkins nodded solemnly. “Out like a light,” he affirmed. “What a party that was!” The musician smiled wanly and Hawkins continued to drag his burden toward the TN offices. He got him into the elevator, winked at the operator, and car- ried Dawson into an unused file room, dumping his limp form on a stack of newspapers near the wall. He examined Dawson carefully for possible injuries, satisfied himself that he was un- hurt. He flicked off the light switch and slipped out of the room. O’Reilly, who had seen him enter the building, was wait- ing in the hallway. “Now that:you’ve checked your parcel, let’s get going,” he said tersely. “The Commissioner’s of- fice just called; the raids are get- ting underway.” “How about’ Jean?” Hawkins asked anxiously. “Suppose this lug wakes up before we get back; he might be mad enough to try . anything.” “Haven’t you heard about locks?” said O’Reilly. He opened the file room door wide enough to set the bolt, then closed it softly with a distinct click. “He won't wake up for a while, and if he does, nobody will hear him yell. He’s on ice.” They ran to the _ elevators, OReilly puffing along at Haw- kins’ side. pee o cerenmmreren n en = The Weather | Salvaged Kitchen Fats.

MANHATTAN EDITOR | By Gene Gleason “Jean’s handling the rewrite for us,” O’Reilly said. “I’ll phone in as soon as the cops actually hit either club.” | g HAWEINS and O’Reilly yg oss the Chez Biarritz’ just 'as a group of twenty men in plain clothes approached its entrance from different directions. No sirens sounded, and not a single police car was visible along the street. But every one of the twenty carried a gun as they moved forward in a silent wave. “Look out,” someone yelled suddenly from he club’s front door. “Cops! It’s a raid!” Two husky men appeared in the doorway, attempting to shut the heavy double doors. Four de- tectives closed in and there was a brief, fierce struggle. When it ended, the two were on the side- walk and a dozen detectives swept through the door in a con- certed rush. O'Reilly ran back through an alley, where a dozen more plain- clothesmen had converged around a heavy steel door, the rear en- trace of the club. “Open up, in the name of the law!” someone shouted. No an- swer came from the darkened in- terior. “All right, boys,” said the offi- cer commanding the detail. “Get those crowbars; we'll tear it off the hinges.” O’Reilly, meanwhile, followed the prearranged plan he had worked out with Hawkins and ran to the Cafe Castillo around the corner. The Castillo’s bouncer and two other thugs attempted to beat off another raiding squad with their fists. A stocky, thicknecked de- tective closed in on the bouncer, parrying his powerful right fist with a sharp thrust of his fore- arm. The _ detective countered with a jolt to the chin that dropped the bouncer completely out of the struggle. Four detet- tives clamped their hands around the arms of the other battlers, pinning them down like butter- flies on a specimen card. The fight was over. O’Reilly pushed into the club with the detective squad, stumbling through a flashlight-streaked gloom. A Augment World Supplies THE KEY WEST CITIZEN - Lowest last night . Mean == Jesse B.
