I
can
get
that
decision
reversed
in
the
Supreme
Court
,
or
I
can
get
the
Governor
to
pardon
me
after
a
time
,
I
think
.
I
'm
not
going
to
run
away
,
and
everybody
knows
I
'm
not
.
These
people
who
think
they
have
me
down
have
n't
got
one
corner
of
me
whipped
.
I
'll
get
out
of
this
thing
after
a
while
,
and
when
I
do
I
'll
show
some
of
these
petty
little
politicians
what
it
means
to
put
up
a
real
fight
.
They
'll
never
get
a
damned
dollar
out
of
me
now
--
not
a
dollar
!
I
did
intend
to
pay
that
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
some
time
if
they
had
let
me
go
.
Now
they
can
whistle
!
"
He
set
his
teeth
and
his
gray
eyes
fairly
snapped
their
determination
.
"
Well
,
I
've
done
all
I
can
,
Frank
,
"
pleaded
Steger
,
sympathetically
.
"
You
'll
do
me
the
justice
to
say
that
I
put
up
the
best
fight
I
knew
how
.
I
may
not
know
how
--
you
'll
have
to
answer
for
that
--
but
within
my
limits
I
've
done
the
best
I
can
.
I
can
do
a
few
things
more
to
carry
this
thing
on
,
if
you
want
me
to
,
but
I
'm
going
to
leave
it
to
you
now
.
Whatever
you
say
goes
.
"
"
Do
n't
talk
nonsense
at
this
stage
,
Harper
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
almost
testily
.
"
I
know
whether
I
'm
satisfied
or
not
,
and
I
'd
soon
tell
you
if
I
was
n't
.
I
think
you
might
as
well
go
on
and
see
if
you
can
find
some
definite
grounds
for
carrying
it
to
the
Supreme
Court
,
but
meanwhile
I
'll
begin
my
sentence
.
I
suppose
Payderson
will
be
naming
a
day
to
have
me
brought
before
him
now
shortly
.
"
"
It
depends
on
how
you
'd
like
to
have
it
,
Frank
.
I
could
get
a
stay
of
sentence
for
a
week
maybe
,
or
ten
days
,
if
it
will
do
you
any
good
.
Shannon
wo
n't
make
any
objection
to
that
,
I
'm
sure
.
There
's
only
one
hitch
.
Jaspers
will
be
around
here
tomorrow
looking
for
you
.
It
's
his
duty
to
take
you
into
custody
again
,
once
he
's
notified
that
your
appeal
has
been
denied
.
He
'll
be
wanting
to
lock
you
up
unless
you
pay
him
,
but
we
can
fix
that
.
If
you
do
want
to
wait
,
and
want
any
time
off
,
I
suppose
he
'll
arrange
to
let
you
out
with
a
deputy
;
but
I
'm
afraid
you
'll
have
to
stay
there
nights
.
They
're
pretty
strict
about
that
since
that
Albertson
case
of
a
few
years
ago
.
"
Steger
referred
to
the
case
of
a
noted
bank
cashier
who
,
being
let
out
of
the
county
jail
at
night
in
the
alleged
custody
of
a
deputy
,
was
permitted
to
escape
.
There
had
been
emphatic
and
severe
condemnation
of
the
sheriff
's
office
at
the
time
,
and
since
then
,
repute
or
no
repute
,
money
or
no
money
,
convicted
criminals
were
supposed
to
stay
in
the
county
jail
at
night
at
least
.
Cowperwood
meditated
this
calmly
,
looking
out
of
the
lawyer
's
window
into
Second
Street
.
He
did
not
much
fear
anything
that
might
happen
to
him
in
Jaspers
's
charge
since
his
first
taste
of
that
gentleman
's
hospitality
,
although
he
did
object
to
spending
nights
in
the
county
jail
when
his
general
term
of
imprisonment
was
being
reduced
no
whit
thereby
.
All
that
he
could
do
now
in
connection
with
his
affairs
,
unless
he
could
have
months
of
freedom
,
could
be
as
well
adjusted
from
a
prison
cell
as
from
his
Third
Street
office
--
not
quite
,
but
nearly
so
.
Anyhow
,
why
parley
?
He
was
facing
a
prison
term
,
and
he
might
as
well
accept
it
without
further
ado
.
He
might
take
a
day
or
two
finally
to
look
after
his
affairs
;
but
beyond
that
,
why
bother
?
"
When
,
in
the
ordinary
course
of
events
,
if
you
did
nothing
at
all
,
would
I
come
up
for
sentence
?
