“Did Bartol prosecute you?” asked Lee.
“A gambler can’t prosecute anybody,” said Sieg. “He’s outside the law. No! it was a dirty frameup! Blondy and I were drinking with a guy on West Fifty-second Street. Neither of us ever saw the guy before. Suddenly he accused us of having robbed him. By a strange coincidence there were a couple of dicks in the place; we were seized and searched and the guy’s wallet was found on me, and his watch in Blondy’s pocket. A barefaced frameup! As if guys like Blondy and me would come down to picking a guy’s pockets! But with our records we stood no chance. The New York police and the District Attorney and all, they were glad to oblige a big shot like Sam Bartol. We were framed and sent up with a brace of years a piece. I used to pace my cell planning ways to get square with Sam Bartol. But somebody took the job off my hands. You may remember the case.”
