14 THE SKETCH Perfect Crime Courtesy of the Fiction Club Don Peters, better known to followers of the prizefight game as Tiger, had a new job, a swell job. He washed dishes in a restaurant for S12 a week! Don was only 25 and weighed about 200. He was most good look- ing. Even though he had been a fighter since the age of 17, he bore no dis- figuring scars of any kind. Yet at ZS he was through with the iight game because one punch on an opponent's jaw did something to his right hand. He knocked out his adversary but he never fought again, because his broken hand never healed properly. Until then he had been hailed as the coming champ and had had a good time in life, spending plenty of money. But that soon ran out because of the operation on his hand-that had failed. His friends deserted him and he couldn't get a decent job. And here he was washing dishes, instead of fighting, and living in a cheap flat, instead of the expensive Astor Hotel. He was down and out and very discouraged. He'd been rich before and he wasn't used to being short of ready cash. Therefore, he didn't particularly enjoy the status quo. He would get some money somehow. Finally he hit upon the solution. He'd commit a crime, a perfect crime. just one crime would put him on easy street for two or three years. just onwhe'd never be caught. Not he, Don Peters, once almost the heavyweight champion of the world. So Don quit his job, saying he needed a rest, and went looking for a prospective victim. Finally he found an out-of-the-way jewelry store which did a thriving business. For one entire week he carefully plotted his crime, even buying a gun-just in case. One day headlines blazed: Masked Bandit Robs Jewelry Store-Police Unable to Trace Culpritf' Meanwhile Don casually told his landlord he was going to Chicago to visit relatives, but that he'd be back in a month. He planned to use the flat for a month or two after he returned to avoid suspicion and then move uptown to a fine hotel, maybe the Astor again. However, Don didn't go to Chicago. He went to northern Maine. But first in the Grand Central Station he deposited a box in one of the many lockers. The box contained about ninety-five percent of the money he had obtained, and no one could open the locker because he had the only key. . For a month Don hid away and the smoke blew over. He enjoyed life, nshing and relaxing in various lakeside resorts.
