Li,,,,.? L. LL ,TH E c E C H O g gvg25 Everything was set to make the capture, but we all agreed to take the gang alive and to give them a fair chance, which we did by waiting until their ammunition was exhausted. Paul and his 'tStoogies were brought before the noted woman judge, Elizabeth Tumas, who had fol- lowed a business law course. The prosecuting attorney turned out to be Leland Hiltz who sa.ng the Mad Scene - from Filene's Basement be- fore opening the case. The legal UD representative for the defendant was also one of our old classmates, none other than Paul Whitty. On the jury we found Stephanie Davis, secretary to Jim Danahy, the Golf Ball King, and Julia Ivoskus, the acrobatic dancing star at Red Dana's 'tNew Strand , where the cash prize was regularly drawn by Bozol' Kelle- her, bouncer, usher, and manager of the show. After all the facts were given, the jury was ushered out by the bailiff Kenneth Bowers. I noticed he had no badge and when I asked him about it, he confidentially told me that he had received two bits for it at Len Abramowitz's pawn shop. When the jury came back with a verdict of not guilty, most of the spectators fainted, many were badly bruised in the rush, but nurses, Marion Cook and Alice Graham, were on hand to ease their pain. . The reason for this verdict was later revealed by the fact that Baby Face Patriarca had gone in to see the jury for a little informal chat. He was a well known rival of Paul's and wanted the privilege of taking care of him, personally. Just for old times sake, he said. Isabel Caponio and Mary Pavidis took down all this information as re- porters for Ye Canton Journalu. Edward V. J. Paul, as he now wished to be called, decided to have a party and to invite all his old class- mates to celebrate his release from jail. At the party were Beatrice Maddocks, a wealthy lady of leisure, Alice Martin of the Martin llill Billy Band, Elizabeth MacCowan, the well known English authority, and many other old chums. Edith Nason demonstrated a couple of her new dance creations and did a roller skate act which was very enjoyable. I After the party we went to the Swanky night club owned by Edna Duncan and Midgie Estey who hail worked up from their enviablel po- sitions as the nation's leading lady bouncers to the owners of the ex- clusive club. We were driven there by Howard Gibson in his Independent Cab. ' Outside the club was Ella Schmieder conducting the Side Walk Interview Program for the C. H. S. network. In the club a few celebrities were asked to take a bow in the spot light oper- ated by Myles Standish, and were we surprised to see Mildred Seaman and Winnie Stone proclaimed as the world's best physical instructors! Freda Ulman and Josephine Sebeika were coaxed into a duet on their vio- lins and rendered Love in Bloom very well. Edith Stone appeared and surprised us all with her dancing and singing. She later sa.id she was more surprised than we were. The orch-es- tra was Wilder Kelle's Wild Cats, featuring the blues singer, Louise Silva, whose manager and all round aid was Helen Tolias, another old friend. About 3:30 A. M. Corinne Hallett, the hostess, informed us that we would have to leave an order for our breakfast. Well that's the end of my story. How was it, Jack? You haven't any more poppy seeds have you '? I had better not tell any of our friends about that dream, huh? By the way, what is Didi doing now '? I understand he's over at the library writing a book on the new language, Shilamalokus, I think he called it. Come on, we'll go over and see him. Let's get some candy at the Silva Slipper Shoppe for the librarians, Midge Estey and Edna Duncan. Why, there's Eddie Macllermott in his taxi. Remember now, don't mention Snake Eyes to him. Take it easy now, Mac , we're in no hurry. Look Jack, isn't that Ray Goss in the town hall window '? That's right, he's the superintendent ol' all the public buildings now, he started with his uncle's job. Well, here we are at the library. The-re's
