PRACTICALLY BANKRUPT.

EH, GORMAN?

PROVE THAT.

WE'VE HAD THOSE BOOKS

GONE OVER BY EXPERTS.

A LOT OF THINGS:

DON'T JIVE.

INCOME TAX EVASION?

HA HA HA!

THAT'S A LAUGH.

WHY, THAT'S THE

FUNNIEST THING I EVER HEARD.

LET ME SEE THAT.

"UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

VS. JOE KRO--"

HA HA HA HA!

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?

BIG SHOT JOE KROZAC

IN THE CAN ON A BOOKKEEPING RAP.

IS THAT FUNNY, OR NOT?

YEAH, WELL,

THAT ISN'T FAIR.

THAT'S JUST LIKE

HITTING A GUY BELOW THE BELT.

I SUPPOSE ALL THE GUYS

ARE LAUGHING.

HARDLY. IT'S FAR

TOO SERIOUS FOR THAT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WHAT'S SERIOUS?

ARE YOU DAFFY?

I'M JUST BURNED UP

THAT THEY'RE STICKING A KNIFE IN MY BACK,

LIKE I WAS:

A PETTY LARCENY CROOK!

JOE KROZAC!

HOW MUCH LONGER IS

THIS APPEAL BUSINESS GONNA TAKE?

I'VE GOT A CONFERENCE

SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW MORNING

WITH HALF A DOZEN

LAWYERS.

WELL, HOW ABOU THAT EX-GOVERNOR CHARLIE BURNHAM

AND THAT MOUTHPIECE

PETE MEYERS?

I THOUGHT THEY WERE

GONNA--

IT TAKES TIME, JOE.

THEY'RE ALL WORKING.

YEAH, SURE. IN THE MEANTIME,

I'M IN HERE!

FOR MONTHS, YOU'VE

BEEN TELLING ME EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE OK.

WE'RE DOING

THE BEST WE CAN, PULLING EVERY WIRE.

BUT JUST AS:

DETERMINED AS YOU ARE TO GET OUT OF HERE,

THE GOVERNMENT'S

AS DETERMINED TO KEEP YOU IN.

IN FACT, THEY INTEND

SENDING YOU AWAY.

SEND ME?

SEND ME WHERE?

ATLANTA.

LEAVENWORTH.

I CAN'T FIND OU EXACTLY.

WHEN YOU GET THIS APPEAL,

THAT'S GOING TO STOP EVERYTHING, ISN'T IT?

IF WE CAN GET IT.

I WANT TO TELL YOU--

YOU'RE TELLING ME

NOTHING.

I AIN'T GOIN'

TO NO FEDERAL PEN!

THERE ISN'T ONE BIG ENOUGH

TO HOLD JOE KROZAC.

YOU'RE GETTING ME OUT,

UNDERSTAND?

IF YOU CAN'T DO IT,

YOU GET SOMEBODY WHO CAN.

I AIN'T LEAVIN'

THIS PLACE WITH ALL MY DOUGH.

YOU OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO

GET ME OUT OF HERE WITH--

YOUR WIFE'S HERE

TO SEE YOU.

MY WIFE?

BETTER SNAP IT UP.

I DON'T THINK SHE'S STAYING LONG.

HELLO, BABY.
