Don't let us waste your time.

What kind of rap is out against you?

What do you do with all your money?

What does he got?

Ulcers?

Gun beef, Mr, Vantucci.

Cops picked up 2 other guys.

I see...

Tony Galvante.

Vannie Harrigan.

Where'd you get those?

Came in a package of breakfast food!

Sit down.

I've been around

this town a long time.

I never heard of you guys before.

Talk...

You heard of us, the River Gang.

Too bad about Lou Perenti.

Yeah.

21 slugs in him.

Naw...

Some guy's handy with icepicks.

Who did it, I wonder?

We'd like to know too.

Sometimes better not

to know to much, huh?

What's your dodge?

Like always, anything.

You know, anything to

make an honest dollar.

Maybe I can use you.

If you sawed me off and I gained about

30 pounds, I might be able to use these.

Might have known,

they belonged to "The Schemer. "

The Schemer?

That didn't mean anything to them.

Just a name to be filed mentally.

That chiseling Schemer! He shorted

us again on the stamps!

Open up that other box, Vannie.

You guys on this kid!

Well, The Schemer had some connection

with the counterfeit liquor stamps!

Fact 2:
he was in bad with this crowd.

Fact 3...

The Schemer was on the West Coast.

He packed his stamps with a copy of

the Los Angeles Telegram.

Fact 4...

See ya!

They remembered Rudy's remark about the

coveralls belonging to The Schemer.

A piece of physical evidence linked

with that mysterious character.

Something for the Treasury's

Crime Lab to investigate,

analyze...

draw conclusions from.

The dusty work clothes might

mean something... or nothing.

But every angle, however slight...

must be carefully checked.

The only information we can get from

Washington is in the nickname files.

The Schemer is a man about 50...

with a heavy head of gray hair.

No photo?

No.

No fingerprints either.

Suspected shover

of counterfeit money.

Coveralls tell you anything?

Plenty.

About 5 foot 9 inches.

Slightly stout.

About 180 pounds.

The lab analyzed the debris

in the pockets.

Schemer smokes strong cigars.

Uses Chinese health herbs.

For your benefit, Dragon Liver

Herb Preparation.

Thanks.

Anything else?

The receiving hospital here...

said they gave treatment

for a knife wound.

Left shoulder.

Probably a scar.

If it's the same fellow.

Fine, fine.

So all I got to do is find a guy

called "The Schemer," 50, fat...

smokes strong cigars,

chews Chinese Dragon Liver herbs and

maybe has a scar on his shoulder.

That's your assignment. son.

With these leads, Agent O'Brien left

at once for Los Angeles.

Meanwhile in Vantucci's warehouse...

Why didn't he show up?

I told you.

Where did he go?

I don't know.
