...side; Newshawk Kilgallon, Trolley's satirical, hard-drinking crony, a World War hero and onetime child prodigy singer who has been trying to commit suicide since adolescence; Gus Popolos, a Rasputin-like fanatic who wanders around in a moth-eaten bear rug, proclaims Colonel Steele the new Messiah, finally marries an outsmarted chorus girl; Moussa, a notorious Arab pickpocket, whom nobody understands except Captain Trolley; the mayor's katzenjammer son, whose snooping in Dr. Thumb's traveling bag is rewarded by a small mummified head which turns out to be that of the mayor's long...
