...secret to the police that an efficient "abortion mill" was operating somewhere in New York City. Cops and detectives had worked for five weeks, tapping wires, spying through binoculars, loafing around in disguise, before they could put the finger on an apartment house in The Bronx. Some fine undercover work was done during the American Legion Convention by a policeman and a policewoman disguised as a Kansas Legionnaire and his wife...

All these people were workers in a textile mill which had been attacked by Moslems. Their bodies were mostly stripped and in several instances limbs had been torn from the bodies.

Boss Hague never ran a tighter system. Convicts and city materials went into private jobs; plain citizens were jugged for protesting. When Fleming, disgusted with the local scene, opened up on the Crackers, even his friends told him he was crazy to stick his neck out. He wrote, he spoke, he agitated, he became a zealot. In 1943 he published Colonel Effingham's Raid, a Book-of-the-Month...
