Ckapter lU Synopsis
Ed has threatened Zolly, the killer when he gets outside. Nadinola
Bleackiag CreaM, now offers foi^your entertainment the Last Chapter
atory written by an unknown and unsung Negro writer.
Zolly, listening to this run of conver.^ation, knew that here was
no idle chatter, and on countless inplances would awaken, cold with
perspiration, at some nightmarish dream of what lay in wait for him
when the time of his release \KOuld ineviUnbly arrive. He recalled all too
Tividly the hectic hours when he hid sat in the courtroom with eyes
•vert^ feeling tha contemptuous stnvr'? of his erstwhile comrades
charM the atmosphere with venom; when Ed, passing close to him one
dar.had muttered in guarded tones that none other could hear:
"B« seeing you outside—pal.”
As the months had dragged into yca^, his feeling of helpless panic
likd been slowly replaced by cold reasonin?, and he had woricod out to
the finest detail what he must do. Once outside, he must completely
disnise his movements; a blackout, is what it would amount to. He
had then proceeded to cache enough money to mobilize the proper un
derworld agencies to ser\’e his purpose.
Now he was free, and the cold terror which the safety of prison
liad twnished came swoopinT back upon him, his bravado falling away
like a threadbare garment. Many of the old gang, he knew, had preced-
^ him into parole or pardon, might at this very moment be stalking
him awaiting the opportunity to sfi ike. Thanks to the newspapers an
nouncing his release, the mob hr.d been supplied with a means of tracing
lim. And he, in his flight, mipht even share the same hideout, unsu
spectingly, with one of them. He cur.sed the newspapers, realizing that
ttey had rendered his contenipIiLtt I blackout very difficult indeed.
Toying with this new I’ne thouftht, Zolly paused to light a cig-
arAte, staring out over the n’atch-flame at the stream of slowing mov
ing vehicles. A dark sedan cravled into his line of vision, lurched to a
sodden stop abreast of him r,a i.hc lirrht chnnjred at the intersection,
affording him a clear vie"/ cf t’ ? " 'ur walchfnl occupants.
Panic seized him In its tmif hi,t pi'ip. He abruptly faced about,
pushed to the center of the crowd, cijraretta and match slipping from

fiiloweid, this would be a lik iy s lot them to lie in wait, with ti'.o
clanging overhead noicc su' '.at to drown the crack of the gun.
Larely it would happen here. Vf r ,pruache«l the columns with a sm'-tli-
ered feeling of apprehension, his 'nims clammy with cold perspiration.
The erratic thumping of his hi iirt brought to mind the waming of ‘the
prison physician. He slowed his ?'ace,. feH.-a numbing sensation of fa

At the corner ahead a drirl: sedan took the turn with a violeni
sqneal of tires, the f peed rocking it way up to tiptoe on soft cushions
wrings. It straightened, spearcl down the block with a throaty roa.
TSolly turned, lookeil frantically about for some avenue of escape, saw
the nearest apartment house doorway thirty feet away and decidad he
eould nevfc.* make it. So he stood huddled there, both hands raised as
though attempting to shield his body against the rip and tear of bullets,
his ea'a straining for the hgrsh crash of sound.
It came. Two reports, sharp anti wicked, stabbed the stillness. With
a ^eary sigh, Zolly stumped to his knees; his body slumped forward
till hia chin struck the pavement, hard. He rolled over to land, face up,
in the gutter, an expression of fear etched deeply on his countenance.
And the black car did not for a moment slaken its headlong sprint.
The policeman straightened up from a hasty examination of the
body with s puzzled frown creasing his weathered features.
“Damned funny,” he muttered aloud to himself, “A car just back
fired in the street and this guy keeled over dead.
PHILADELPHIA, (AN(P) —
Speaking before ^ group as
sembled to hear the praises of
Wendell Wilkie as expounded
for the benefit of the colored
deleg^es and their alternates,
fbrmer Congressman Oecar De-
Priest electrified %he small audi
ence with Ms tirade against De
mocrats ^ilnd Negroes who vote
the Democratic ticket.
“When 1 sea woman lika
Mary Bethuna voting tha
Democratic ticket, 1 won
der what'* bacoma of de
cent Negroe*,*’ taid Mr.
DePriatt.
■’Business and profess>ional
men m^e their living off Negro
es. When that Negroes gets only
i^J>5 a month, that means that
everybody''will be on relief and
with four more years of Roose
velt, this will halppen.
“There is no hope, no future
for the Negroes under their sys
tem. No Negro can deep down in
his heart vote the Democratic
ticket and be true to hintaelf.”
Here the colorful Chicagoan
conned a word by calling such
Negroes as support the Democra
tic ticket, “Foolcrats.” Deploring
the departure of the Negro from
tbe former respect he had for
Abrahatm Lincoln, Mr. DePrieet
ile^lareu i...... Negroes would
have to be educated to top
abusing Lincoln. Just as the
whites praise Geo^re Washing
ton, Negroes, Mr. DePriest said,
should have the same respect for
Lincoln, no matter who tells
them that Lincoln is dead.
“Whatever I vifJa, am or ever
expect to be, Neg:roes made me,”
said the former congressman.
“There is no hope for the Negro
in the Democratic party and if
Mr. Roosevelt is Reelected, he’ll
do Juat the s^ekme as Woodrow
Wikion did. You will find your
self with a war on your hands.
You can’t trust a Democrat in
season or ot)^.”
Coloring his speech with a rel
ferencea to the time he served
in the house of representaitives,
Mr. DePriest told of differences
he had with Hoover who he
claims is the* ablest American
alive today, and concluded with
references, to Roosevelt, whom he
