...pink the two assassins. Just inside, Bernard Rosenkrantz, Flegen-heimer's chauffeur, sprawled in a pool of blood oozing from six wounds. In the rear room, which smelled like a shooting gallery, they found a roly-poly little man with wide, blue eyes. He was Otto Biederman, gambler and underworld clown whom Damon Runyon frequently put into his stories under the name of "Regret." Biederman's face was a red smear of holes ind blood.
