Mr. District Attorney. The ugliest word known to a district attorney is blackmail. An evil in itself that can also breed other and more violent crimes. It frequently ends in murder. Take the case of Larry Cashman, a used car dealer.
It was a Saturday night late. He was at his lot in the small office waiting for somebody, not a customer. Hi, Mr. Cashman. Glad to see you waited for me. Never mind a friendly greeting striker. What do you want this time?
I'm kind of short of folding money, but you might be a pal. Help me out again. You know what this is, don't you, striker? The Lord Colored has shaped down. I gave you a hundred dollars two weeks ago, and another hundred a month before that.
Does money last forever? I need more. You're not getting more. Not from me. Well, it's too bad. I'm sorry you feel like way, Mr. Cashman. I thought you were a nice guy, the kind of a guy I'd like to see raise my baby.
