A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Late in the afternoon of A pril 1, 1917, New Tort was shocked by a tragic oocorr Mioe, in which Sixtns Knox, among others, met with an untimely death. The elevated train, with at least one hundred and fifty passengers in eaoh car, was racing northward. My friend Six, one of the last of the great crowd to board the train, having secured no space whereon to stand, hung outside, holding on to a pole with his two hands, his thin legs swinging Hke a flag in the breeze, when, the motive has never been ascertained, a bloodthirsty Neapolitan shot him through the breast with a revolver. Was it a case of mistaken identity, or a vendetta act of the Bla Handt Nobody ever knew.
