I am bezel the quarter of a million dollars. I want you to know that needed brains, planning, patience. I devoted three years of my life to the trick and I got away with it. $250,000.

Of course they caught me, very easily. But they couldn't find the money. I wouldn't tell them where it was. I got seven years for it, and my right wrist was handcuffed to the left wrist of a detective and they put me aboard a train bound for the penitentiary.

I could say that the detective had had instructions to soften me up. He was much, much too kind. You're comfortable, Mr. French. You want a magazine? Anything? I'd like to be able to lift my hand without raising yours in the air.

Can't you guide me without being quite so attached to me? My sure, I guess we can work that out. Tell you what, you sit next to the window. How kind of boxy and that way you can wear the cuffs all by yourself and nobody loses now. Thank you Let me get my keys
