On the night Irish Tommy Cork's murder was planned, nothing very much out of the ordinary happened. Tommy was in the ring, taking a pasting—as usual. Back to the ropes, almost sitting on the second strand, Tommy crouched, gloved hands up in front of his face like a leather fence. He was fighting a strong youngster who was now whaling away with both hands in a moment of wild enthusiasm. Most of his blows were blocked, or ducked by Tommy's weaving head, but those few that didn't miss landed with loud thud sounds on the kidneys, head, or in the stomach, visibly shaking up the pale "old man."

With love in your heart... and murder on your mind. You sit there, waiting in the backyard, the gun in your right pocket, safety off. It's almost too simple... wait till he's on top of you, one shot in the heart, then run, run, and keep running... Run until you get back to Elma and feel her warm and soft against you, protecting you, loving you, and making you forget that you've killed twice so you can stay in her arms.
