"Johnny is a two-time loser. He just finished a
rosary. They framed him on a junk rap. Everybody
knows he's a pete. While in stir, he celled with
wires...heels...holes...scratches...johns...
penny-waiters...
not a real pete in the big house.
"I got a kite to-day from the grape-vine route. He
wants us to meet him with cheaters....a benny....
and a keyster. He said that we should bring along
a blot for a front. No heaters this time.
"Johnny has a layout on some swell cats...he
says the score's big.
