Bob Bailey

When did he and Barron get out of the clink?

About two weeks ago.

I see.

So what's the proposition Shockley has made, your brother?

Johnny, Adam has spent the past nine years, ever since he was released out there, building up this small brokerage office here in the East.

Now he and his wife are finally beginning to reap the fruits of their labors.

Children, two fine upstanding kids are in college over in New York State.

So?

But if it were ever to become known that he once served a term in prison for participation in a stock swing... Yeah, yeah, I know.

Kind of pull the rug right out from under him, wouldn't it?

It would completely ruin him, Johnny.

And it would probably kill his wife.

What's that?

This nine years of struggle of trying to make up for that one mistake has been just as hard for her as it has for him.

Right now, she happens to be in the hospital with a serious heart condition.

Oh, I see.

Is she the beneficiary of his insurance?

Yes.

She and then, of course, the children.

All right.
