THEY SAID THEY RANG THE BELL AND BOUGHT THEIR
SCRATCH SHEETS AND WENT AWAY! THEY SAID THEY
DIDNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A MURDERI THEY FELT
SAFE ENOUGH, WITH TWO ALIBIS AND A FIRST-CLASS
FALL GUY
^••ttJ^I
IP either Trapp Kelper or "Soft Shoe" Morton
ever beard the term "perfect crime," they'd
never mentioned it to each other. They were
•oo busy practicing their own methods to bother
with theories. What little reading they did was
concerned wirh racing forms. The two had a
formula which applied equally well to arson,
larceny, forgery and murder. They tackled each
job as if came along, made sure their tracks were
covered, and whenever possible, pinned the mis-
deeds on a fall guy.
The way they tossed money away on the races,
Trapp and Soft Shoe had to pick up some* cash
the easy way! But nobody ever checked on their
bets and, after all, some horses did bring in
money. So they were classed as lucky, even by
the Pinkerton deieciives who kept an eye on
shady characters at Belmont, Laurel, Pimlico and
other tracks as far south as Hialeah.
Trapp and Soft Shoe were so confident of their
ability to dodge the law (hat (hey had picked
Old Singleton Prout as the jock pot to end all
jack pots, should the need arise! Singleton was
a horse-player, too, in his.oWh way. He studied
the horses, the jockeys, (he weather and running
conditions a( a track, (hen made book on his
findings. But he pn!y accepted bets on horses he
felt sure would lose! The fact that he gave good
odds kept his customers coming back, and his
weekly take would have made any regular bookie
jealous.
Singleton also mimeographed a confidential
scratch sheet of winners, which he sold at five
bucks per copy to a small group of regulars,
including Trapp and Soft Shoe. All that those in
the know had to do was ring the old man's
bell after eight P.M. and trade a bill for tomor-
row's racing score!
Because they were customers deluxe, Singleton
had occasionally invited Trapp and Soft Shoe
into his basement rooms when (he weather was
bad, and (he ink hadn'( dried on his scratch
sheets. Each time their keen eyes had spotted
bundles of green stuff (hat was neither cabbage
nor spinach but answered to cither nickname!
Tonight the partners were going to snitch
those bundles! Shortly before eight they ap-
proached Singleton's apartment, ntu by the front
door— which lay between Jerry's newsstand and
Mike's barber shop— but by the back alley. Trapp
tinkered with (he lock on (he back door. It
yielded, and Sof( Shoe cased through the door

in the cat-footed style which had won him his
dime. He reached the doorway of the little room
Singleton used as an office, still undiscovered.
The old man was leaning, stoop shouldered, over
a table in the corner, lit only by the inadequate
rays of a flashlight which lay at his elbow. He
was making sure the ink was dry oo the day's
sheets.
Soft Shoe lived up 10 his reputation as he
reached the open safe and gathered up the bun-
dles of currency he had seen stacked there. As
neatly as though the scene had been rehearsed,
he dodged Singleton Prout's eye as the bookie
turned rhe other way in the semi-darkness. The
old man carried his racing sheets to a desk near
the door, and tugged on a lamp-cord, but (he
light did not come on! He picked up a phone
from the desk and dialed a number.
"Hello! Hello!" Singleton looked annoyed.
"Yes, this is Prout again! No, the electrician isn't
here yet. . . . You're sure he's on his way? . . .
Well . . ."
Soft Shoe had almost reached the door when
Singleton slammed the receiver down abruptly
and turned. Only for an instant did the old man
look startled, then, seeing the cash in the crook's
hands, Singleton pounched for the desk, whipped
a gun from a half-open drawer and came full
about in what seemed like a single move. Soft
Shoe had no time to dodge before the old man
was upon him.
But Singleton never used the gun. Trapp
Kelper was in the doorway. His hand had only
a short distance to travel with the thing it cur-
ried. A blackjack thudded dully at the base of
Singleton Prout's skull and the old man dropped
like a poled ox! Soft Shoe Morton sucked in
his breath.
"Yipes, Trapp! That was for keeps!"
"Right! All we needed was a chump to take
the rap and he's on bis way! The electrician is
due! Step on it!"
Soft Shoe nodded. Trapp pulled a late paper
from his pocket and tossed it on the desk. He
picked iip three scratch sheets, and nudged Soft
Shoe through the door, leaving it ajar.
Safely back on the front street, Soft Shoe sidled
into the barber shop and spoke to Mike, who
was busy shaving a customer. Both could sec
Trapp going down the steps to Singleton's door
througtj the big window.
"Slip me five, Mike, and I'll pick up your
Singleton special. Tomorrow's supposed to be
red hot."
Mike stepped to the cash register, dug out a
bill and passed it over. Soft Shoe hurried out and
joined Trapp, who was pressing Singleton's
doorbell. Both spoke aloud in greeting, as though
the old man had answered the door, then Soft
Shoe stepped up to the sidewalk where Jerry
was peering around from his newsstand into the
vague dark below.
"Old Proui wants his late paper, Jerry," Soft
Shoe said, picking up a copy from the stand.
This had happened a number of times before
when Singleton had actually been present! Jerry
would practically swear he'd seen the old roan
down there at the door— and heard his voice!
The newspaper went under Soft Shoe's coat
(although it was s|ightly lumpy with green-
backs!) and stayed there until he and Trapp re-
entered the barber shop. While Trapp was hand-
ing Mike a copy of the scratch sheet, Soft Shoe
dropped the paper on a chair where any customer
could have left it.
Trapp and Soft Shoe were playing at their
favorite poolroom less than an hour later when
Inspector Tim MacManus walked in on them.
"You two were the last to see Singleton Prout
alive," he said. "Tell me the details. Just what
happened when you stopped there."
"You mean the old man kicked in?" Soft Shoe
looked astounded. The inspector nodded and
looked at Trapp.
"Well, we rang the bell," Trapp said, "and
when Prout came to the door, we bought three
scratch sheets— one apiece and one for Mike, the
barber."
"Yeah,"' Soft Shoe put in, "and I got his paper
for him from Jerry."
"I saw che newspaper on Prout's desk," Mac-
Manus nodded. "You say he came right away
when Kelper rang the doorbell?"
"1 didn't say that," Soft Shoe drawled, "but
as a matter of fact he did. Come eight o'clock
and Old Singleton listened for that door like
it was a dinner call! But with customers paying
five bucks apiece, who could blame him?"
"Nobody could." the inspector decided. He
turned to a detective who had followed him in.
"Bring that fellow in here."
Trapp and Soft Shoe could tell by the man's
panic that he was their fall guy, the electrician.
He, taking the two crooks to be friends of
Singleton Prout, broke down completely.
"J didn't do it!" He was almost in tears. "So
help me, I didn't! 1 came because Mr. Prout kept
phoning about an electrician. The door was
open, so 1 walked in. When J saw him lying there
1 couldn't believe it, but I called the police. Why
would I—?" ,
The two crooks were staring blankly, as though
they had suddenly lost a dear friend. Inspector
MacManus' face was a mask as he said: "Tell
them why you went there, Jennings!"
"Mr. Prout kept calling and calling. 1 never
heard anybody kick up such a fuss (list hecausc
their front doorbell was out of order!"
"And what time did you arrive?" MttcManiU
pressed 'him.
"Almost exactly at eight o'clock," Jennings
said. "1 got the lights going right after tailing
you. You arrived at eight twenty-one!"
MacManus was watching two faces, melt,
freeze, melt again Trapp Kelper and Soft Shoe
Morton were both thinking of an electrician
whose wiring did not fail— the man up the river
who tested the electric chair!

Stanley
the Explorer
FEW men of modern timtl
have livtd « mort advvnlur*
out hfr th*n H«nry Morton Stan-
ley. Ht w«* a cabin boy, soldier,
tailor, 'merchant, newtpaper re-
porter, author and the world's
most famous African eiplorer.
Stanley began life in 1840, in
Wales as John Rowlands, the son
of a poor farmer who died when
Stanley was only three years old.
Rolands, as Stanley was then
known, was put in a workhouso
when 7 years of age and spent
most of his boyhood there. When
he was 16, he ran away to Liver-,
E9ol where he got a job as cabin
By on a ship bound for New
Orleans. Me arrived in New Or-
leent in 1859 and was given a
job by a merchant named Henry
Morton Stanley who later adopt-
ed him and gave him the name
of Stanley.
In 1861. when the Cm) War
broke out, Stanley enlistod in the
Confederate Army but wai won
captured. While in the Federal
(■rison camp he was given his
reedom by enrolling in the Fed-
eral artillery but, wes soon dis-
charged became of poor health.
Stanley then took to the sea and
was shipwrecked off Barcelona.
His next act in 1864, was to join
the U.S. Navy. After the War,
Stanley went out West and be-
came a prominent newspaper re-
porter. Later, his reporting took
him to Asia Minor, to Tibet and
.to Abyssinia. In 1867, Stanley
was hired by the N. Y. Herald
and his biggest assignment which
changed the course of his future
life, was to find a Dr. Livingstone,
a missionary and eiplorer who
was "lost" in the heart of Africa.
Stanley did find Livingstone and
together they eiplorecfthe source
of the Nile. His reports to his
rewspeper on the search for Liv-
ingstone made him famous.
In 1928. the Belgium Congo is-
sued a set of 15 stamps all of
the same design showing a por-
trait of Sir Henry Morton Stanley
in coaimemoration of his great
eiplorations and. the founding- in
1878 of the Congo Free State.
