Mike Hammer The High Cost of Dying

[Music] [Music] maybe as the saying goes iron bars do not a prison make but they help and when a man goes to prison his emotions go with him 30 seconds after it had started no one could remember what the fight was about it could have been something one man said or the way the other man looked or it could have been what one of them thought the other man was thinking the reason didn't matter the fight was the thing [Music] [Music] I was in my office when the call came from father Craig one of the chaplains of things things did Engels say why I wanted to see me Father what will I be able to talk to him if I get this afternoon I see my father and I'll get there in a couple hours I had a hunch what Engels wanted to talk about and I knew why the prison authorities were spending the rules to let me see Engels was doing 10 to 20 on an armed robbery count he knocked over a Manhattan department store for nearly $60,000 well I got Engels all right but it still didn't have the holdup money if he died without talking the secret of worrying stash the money would be buried with him [Music] thanks for coming Harry Joe short I guess I'll be leaving here sooner than I figured all your long time
