Collections of Madness

July, 1921: O’Bannion crumbles the newspaper tossing it aside, “Kyern, get your crew in here! I sent O’Leary (Hammer) down to Boston to secure a safe-house for us but now I read about him gagged and floating in the ocean. I thought I’d coordinated with Zeke Crater and his mob; as long as we’re not selling. Get down there, check in with our accountant Mr. Keeting about the old house for sale, and confirm Crater had nuttn to do with Hammer’s death.
