Down at the Palace you never once spoke to me.

His name was Slim Cole.” Brent’s heart stopped dead, then resumed its pumping at an increased tempo. Slim Cole was the name used by his brother when he had come to Westiny. He said lightly. “He must have been a mighty fir- fellow. Old or young?” “He was young.” Lu’s voice was grave. “He liked me end I liked him. He used to sit at the table with me and talk. Just ordinary talk; no mush” § “fs he still around Destiny?” “He’s dead. They found him in an alley with the back of his head shot away.

King ordered Sirugo to submit to supervision by city inspectors while blasting. Sirugo refused to submit to King’s restrictions on blasting and ceased blasting August 9. He then started re- moving the marl causeway that the City said it wanted to use as a dock for pleasure yachts. Sirugo had promised the marl to Key West Housing Authority for its low rent project that will house 117 families. The City obtained a tempora- ry injunetion order restraining Sirugo from blasting, five days after he had ceased dynamiting at Garrison Bight.
