What night is called where the dead Man's Coat?

Let me see yesterday.

That's one day, the day before, that's two day before that, that's three three days.

It's three days, all right, Doc was right?

So that fixes me.

You think it, don't well, listen, You wouldn't know Kidney fort Cassidy with it.

Yeah, of course you wouldn't.

You might have seen him if he's ever walking along Canal Street around six in the evening in the summertime, where if he was down there Wabash and van Buren under the yell of a winter afternoon.

He was the guy that put the bite on you for a dime to get the part, because he'd forgotten spent.

It least fifteen cents for a magazine.

He'd show you the magazine offer to give it to you for a dime, that she never took it.

You just let them a dime and a dime and the dime, and pretty soon you'd have enough to go to a scene if you wanted to.

And that's the price of a half pint of the brown stuff in the bottles.

Ain't panhandling anymore, He ain't doing nothing.

The cops got under that Oak Park gimmick of his after a while, and kiddy Foot was a little slow in the head.

Seed.

Well, he's been newing that once so long.

He couldn't work up a new kind of bite.

So quite a while.

He ain't had many times.

I used to see him a lot around one fashion Van Buren in the summertime, move on Canal Street.

Ain't nobody gonna see him anymore any place he did.

Ain't anybody going the ball over Kidney for cassidy if there's to be any wall and done ball over me.

Three nights ago it was that was I was coming out of.

The drug store there into the air.

It was around twelve twelve thirty.

I just had a couple of job on a donut.

Who should brace me?

But Kidney for Cassidy.

He come waddling up, walking like his feet hurt him.

That's how he got his name.

His right name was Waller.

And he put the old Oak Park bite on me.

Pardon me, mister, I gotta get the Oak Parks see, And I spent my last dime you kidney.

Oh hello, Floyd, never recognize you.

What do you hear from the mom?

What?

Mom?

Where's your overcoat?

Oh?

I lost it?

You got two bits?

How'd you lose it?

Mm hmm oh, I was asleep over there alongside the Polk Street depot and somebody took it off me.

You got two bits, I got a dime, I got fourteen cents.

Ain't you cold?

M hm h I sure, yeah, it's been also colding your freeze today.

I'm going to get me.

A coat tonight.

Oh mm hmm, I don't know.

I gotta get one of all freeze today.

Give me the dime with you, Floyd?

What you been drinking?

Kidney?

But mm hmm oh, I hadn't been drinking.

Give me the dime and fourteen cents and I can get some stuff from a fella over in Plymouth Court.

Yeah, you get the drinking, kidney, foot, you're sure going to freeze to death.

I'm going to get a coat.

Well, how take it away from somebody?

Come on, I smoke over to Plymouth Court and find a fella and get us a drink.

I don't cold.

He was a time when I first come to Chicago.

Master, how many a year ago, and I was broken, had no place to stay.

I was walking along Canal Street one night and kidney Food Cassidy was the only guy in Chicago.

Took pity on me, bought me a cup of coffee.

And left me sleep in his room over on West Madison Street.

See so you had going to win in Chicago this year, and I got.

A place to stay.

I got to Ruin on north of Sound Street.

They followed the last and they'd seen kidney Foot for a long time, and he's a lot older.

The poor guy is starving.

What am I going to do?

And all I got to say is I wish I hadn't.

I got more than a dime.

I tell him about and I offered the batom a cup of Jabin, a hotdog overruns.

Out the State in the shooting galleries, where the dogs.

Are bigger even if they are staying.

The kiddy vought he don't go for eat and drinking in his racket, and it hasn't killed him.

He did.

Yeah, So I walk over to Plymouth Court with him.

That's a little kind of alley off then dream between State and Depron.

It's all full of printing houses, dark there at night, especially this time of night.

You could hear his teeth chatter for two blocks, and there's three nights ago.

See, I say the kidd.

He fought when they come home with it, but he ain't interested.

All he can think of is the bottle, and I yes, coach.

So we get the bottle from a little guy in a big overcoat like a macanolic, a sheepskin collar that'd come out from between a couple of buildings in the dark.

And after Kidney pul takes a great big slug out of the bottle.

He gets the coat.

Kiddy foot was sore because the bottle busted when he clotted the guy.

But when he took the coat off him, there was two more bottles than the guy took coat.

Me, I never done a thing, but I couldn't.

I didn't have a chance.

One minute kidding put his slugging down.

Rot got the next minute, the guy is laying on the cobblestones and the old man's taking his coat.

He put in a honey run his hands in the pocket.

See wigle down inside the sheepskin collar.

And he laughed, Hey, I'm limmering, Floyd.

I'm standing there with my face hanging out of foot warm.

I think warm, boy, you're hutting the pistol.

You know that's a thing.

This little guy, you never think.

He never heard of flea and he takes his fellow like that.

I don't need to ask, because he did.

I'm a surprise.

I can't move.

I just pomped my eyes.

Kidney for the jiggles again.

How do you like it?

Floyd?

I just say.

Then Kidney forty takes another regular stuff and he grasp him to the army.

Let's go go go where your place.

Listen, you're gonna put me up for a couple of days, kid, ain't you?

Well?

But I kid, look, I just knocked the guy off.

I'm hot, kid, Are.

You my friend?

Raction Listen, Kidney for that who was a stake here?

When you was a punk right here in town without a nickel?

Who was well?

It was your kidney when it comes to that, kid, Why you was right here with me when the guy was knocked off?

You know them cops, his awful good persuaders.

Look, you get all mixed up.

See put the finger on you, not meaning.

To you, see, but you see when I never done a thing?

You know, I never Yeah, But how long you think them tough guys dowt the bureau believe that Floyd, come on, leavers, go home?

All right?

So what could I do?

Be happy?

Lit me?

So I took him home with me.

All the way I went to the street car.

He was giggling to himself like he was nuts or something.

And I never said it work.

What were they to say?

Uh?

So when I seen the streetcar come, when I says to him, I listen, I says, cut off that lap and I make a fool of yourself.

I says, is that enough what you've done already without drawing some streetcar on his attention to you?

So he'll remember, I said, so, he said, I mean, we get.

Out the car instead of the back platform.

We're just crossing the Randolph people.

He looks up at me and he says, yeah, he sure feels warm, Floyd, and shut up talking about it.

This is the warmest coat I ever had.

All right, shut up with you at the warmest coat in the world.

I bet where you shut up?

Okay?

Then I noticed my street car card.

He's looking at me nuts or something.

I never said nothing.

What I said, I didn't say anything.

Well, so what he don't tell me?

To shut up, Billy, I wasn't talking to you.

Well, don't get heavy with me, Billy.

You know how stupid you look standing there talking to yourself.

I wasn't talking to myself.

Okay, so I'm nuts, Lake straight, Lake straight next.

You, I say to myself, the guy must be nuts.

Here is kidney Foot standing right alongside of me, grinned like a chessie camp wiggling his neck around inside.

That fuzzy collar.

Get't the guy see when he was all the way to the Division Street.

Where we get off, when I remember the County only took one fair from me.

We're walking up Division straight towards myself.

Kidney Foot bob in the longest side of me.

He's kind of chuckling again down inside the color.

Yeah, put it to him.

What was it that the street car?

Jackey kidney Foot.

Hell, he didn't see it, didn't he.

He acted like he didn't.

Designs had never been an no a fair for you, and he never asked me.

It's funny.

I don't get it.

Well, I ain't very anxious to be seen by nobody.

Yeah, listen, kidney Foot, what look you know me?

I ain't no angel?

Yeah, surely not.

Kid today.

Well what I mean, listen, I don't like this deal one little bit.

I won't stay long, Floyd.

But what I mean, I can't stand no manslaughter raps.

I mean neither Floyd.

One more wrap and I'm in Kelliet from now on, and me too.

I look at kidney Foot, then'll be tough on me.

I won't be no tougher than I have to Floyd.

I know what you mean, kid, It's the same difference from me.

See, I don't want that jolly at.

The department either.

Well, I know I figured like this.

The only out I got is for you to stash me away for a while.

See, I got nothing to get your, kid, but this.

Here is the only out I got to see.

Yeah, I know, so you better play ball see or else?

Yeah, well, sure, take it easy, kid.

Nobody's gonna see me.

Nobody's gonna put a finger on me.

I ain't gonna put a finger on your kidney foot.

Nobody ain't, especially you.

Of course, if you do, it's where you live.

Yeah, I keep quite up, miss Friberg set exactly.

Yeah, see, sir, throw the both of us out.

She won't see me now, don't leave her.

The street car Connie didn't see me today.

Well, but then you got that out.

What are you laughing at?

Anyhow?

I just throw to something from it?

What and I'll tell you when we get in the room.

Is the warm up there?

Yeah, it's all right.

Tell me what somebody old lady told me once.

Come on open the door.

Keep quiet that don't make any noise upstairs.

Oh ahead, you don't have to worry Floyd.

Nobody else see that it out?

Come on anyway.

Okay, geez, this is fine, Floyd.

Yeah, go to bed and shut up?

Where are you going to sleep?

I ain't sleepy.

What you need is a slug of stuff and you'll sleep either one.

Take off that coat and go to bed.

Oh no, no, I don't want to take it off.

I like suit yourself.

Well, they don't make any noise.

Don't you want to drink?

No?

What I do?

What's your sleep?

Well we'll have a little sure.

What was you gonna tell me what she was laughing about?

It's more warmer too.

Oh this coat, I have a little more of that stuff?

Sure?

Fine stuff huh.

Yeah, what would you laughing at?

Oh?

Takes me quiet.

Oh, I have to laugh.

You know.

My old lady told me once when I was a kid, keep.

It down, keep it down.

Yeah, there was an old saying, and there was an old saying.

I'm seeing now, Uh from where the dead man's coat?

None take note?

See what's so funny about that?

Well, I got on the dead guy's coat.

Nobody takes no give me ano?

Yeah sure, mm hmm.

I tell you your not.

She used to tell me about an old guy and his name was John Thomas Brady.

His name was and so John Thomas Brady.

He knocked over judge and this was in the old country.

And nobody ever seen him from that day to this.

Yeah, I'll come.

He put on the dead man's comment.

I don't get it.

People couldn't see him, so she he can't see me either.

I can see it.

Nobody else can.

Did me some of that?

How can I say if nobody else can, because you was in on it, I guess I don't know how it works for it, but that's.

How it is.

I'm unvisible.

Ah, you're crazy in the head.

Roll over there.

I want to sleep.

I thought you said you wasn't.

Small of a sudden, I am, and we're not yet split it with you, Yes, sir, unvisible and unsensible.

And there was more.

Who's saying only I forget?

Well shut up?

Okay, okay, where dead man's cold?

And I woke up and I was freezing to that?

Okaythterday he was all right.

He was mother leven head cold, snoozed my way, as peaceful as if he had nothing on his conscience.

I guess he didn't.

I didn't have a conscience.

I mean my head was bay like a boiler factory.

That they're too bit wippy, judge of teeths if you hain't used to it, like Gibney who Cassidy was.

Yeah.

I sat there on the edge of the bed, and I thought the more I thought the words had gut.

I was stuck.

He had me if I beat people at the mark, I mean where he went, I'd go to.

Didn't do a little better drink well, because I'm a good guy, because Cassidy had to have an overcoat.

No cop in the world to believe me for a minute.

Oh, I need a drink.

I was empty, I said, and.

Look out at the brick wall next to the window and look at Cassidy, old woman, his new coat and sleeping the sleep of a judge.

You know I'm gonna wake him up too.

And there's a wrap on the go and open the jump on my skin?

Boy, am I scared?

Good morning?

Good morning with s fribery.

I try to throw the blanket over Cassody.

Good morning, did you forget something?

Yesterday's forget what?

He checks the blanket off.

Renday yesterday?

Oh.

Cassody opens one eye and looks at missus syber ren day.

What's the matter with you this morning?

Gotta hangover?

Yeah, yeah, I guess I have.

Kenthody makes a faint.

He smells like a brewery.

Wow, yeah, oh yeah, I'll give you the money.

Trying to keep buying on Cassody.

How much is it?

You sure have got a hangover?

Angel?

It's four dollars, just the same as it always was.

Okay, four dollars, Yesterdy's climb out of bed.

Four dollars.

Listens, Floyd, I got my cleaning the door.

I can't take it the whole morning talking to you.

All right, I'll reach in my pocket and take out the four dollars and I hand it to her.

Cassidy is climb out of bed.

And he's standing right there in front of missus Freiberger, all squitched up in his coat.

He's making faces at her.

She don't notice a thing you're looking so funny about?

Hi?

Hangover?

I guess.

Cassidy's bomping up and down in front of her, grim and like an ape.

And she don't pay no.

Mine, you don't want a receipt?

Receipt?

No?

Hi, I guess not, miss Freiberg, I guess not.

What are you up to?

Floyd me?

I won't stand for no monkey shines in my house.

You know that I ain't got no monkey shines?

All right, See you don't.

I'll send David up to make the bed.

You better get out and get some are Yeah.

Cassidy is doubling up, laughing all the time she's talking.

So she goes out and he's putting in the butt.

You see, you see I am unvisible?

Oh boy, why didn't I think.

Of this before?

Man?

What you gonna think?

He was right there?

He done everything but paints the old lady.

And she'd never seen him.

She ever heard that before getting invisible, wearing the coat of the guy get killed.

I never did either.

My boy, it's no kitten.

Sure.

Him and me went out right past the houseboard David.

He speaks to me, don't get kidney for the top.

They walked down the street and kiddy foot deliberately walks right into a guy, and the guy begs my bottom.

The guy at Thompson thought I was cuckoo when I ordered to breakfast.

He neither thought it was only me.

Kiddy Bust slips his mint into the cash trawle's a couple of ten dollar bills.

He snatches a handle Nichols and diets from a noose stand just like everybody but me was blind to him.

And then went back in the house and he read the newspapers he'd benched.

There's the item about that fellas that got killed.

Mystery, and the old chills begin to crawl up my spine when it says the cuts.

I got a clue.

Maybe they have, maybe they haven't.

But there was two of us there.

There's only one of us that anybody can see.

It's me all the time.

Cassidy's sitting there wrapped up in that coat, that dead man's coat.

And I say, though, finally, Cassidy, when you take that coat off, Floyd, I can't take it off.

Why not.

I've tried it.

It won't come on.

Stop it un button to take it off.

Freyd I tell you I can't take it off.

Your kidding.

I'm not kidding.

The buttons wood on button.

I gotta keep on wearing the hair.

Let me try, my gosh.

I can't get it unfat and.

I know you can't, Floyd.

I remember the rest of the saying.

What's saying about the dead man's coat?

It's it's something about how you're dead when you take it all.

I tried all day, every once in a while to get the coat off him, but there was no soap.

You could get a button and fasten.

Then when you tried the next one, the first on the button all over again.

Cassidy got scared and scared, and so did I for that matter.

Twice during the day, old Lady Fiber had come running up to see what all the commotion was about him was Cassidy crying?

I always managed to shut him up before she got in the room.

Of course she couldn't see him.

By nighttime, I was pretty in their nuts.

I got him another bottle, and finally he went to sleep or wrapped up in his coat or the guy's coat, Sir.

I didn't sleep on that bed with him.

He slept in a chair.

What's sleeping?

I'd done coup in the morning, power him and shut him up.

I talked to him about how swell it was to be invincible, how he could.

Get in places to restore banks, rich people's houses, over the lake shot drive.

All the time he kept sitting there, wiggling in that coat.

He'd be trying to take it off, and then he'd all of a sudden think about having to be dead to get it off.

And he's done.

And I keep on talking about how nice it is to be invisible, and he's fidgeting and not listening much.

After a whole idea kind of me.

Would be nice to be invisible, and it would be nicer to be invisible and not have kiddne me for yessoday around.

I guess my talking to kind of run down.

What's the matter with you?

Rooy me?

Nothing?

Kidding me?

Fun looking at me?

Awful funny?

How I give me a drink?

So I'd give him a drink.

I went out and I bought two more bottles.

Fifth money was gonna be plentiful.

Pretty soon see.

Hey, he passed out and he sat there in the dark thoughts.

On.

Towards the morning, I made up my mind I'd get rid of this guy that was hanging around my neck, and I'd be invitible too.

Man, think about that yourself.

Sometimes the things a guy could do with you can't see him.

So it was seven o'clock in the morning when I went over to the bureau and got off my Georgia boxing glove.

You know what a Georgia boxing glove is, sweachblade.

Knight played about it.

Inch longer upon your hand is wide.

Jenny Food was slower and kind of quiet, and I went over to bed.

I'd give him a Georgia boxing glove for a present.

The coach come off easy and put it on, putting it up, and I went out for a walk.

I wanted to try it out.

See it was a success.

I walked all the loop, I rode street.

Cars for free.

I took a guy's pocketbook right out of his hand.

Pretty near noon when I decided to come back to my room and pick up one on the ends.

I needed.

Oh nobody see me go in.

I went right up to the room.

Did I get a surprise.

Cassidy was delaying there he he hadn't bled at all.

But old Lady.

Freiberg was there too, having a cat fit.

There was two guys with it.

One I spotted for a dick right away, you couldn't miss.

The other guy was bending over Cassidy.

He was a doctor, and I seen his grip.

Old Lady Freiberg was talking.

Chastels and there he won't.

I don't know who he got in here.

So Cassidy wasn't invisible anymore, but I was.

And then the doctor turns it off.

How long has this man's been here?

I don't know.

He won't here.

That's funny, funny.

Who's funny?

Well, it's funny because this man's been dead for three days, three days, three days.

I just killed him this morning, No, ma'am, I'm sure he's been dead for three days.

At least three days.

It was three days ago.

He put on a dead man's coat.

He's been, he's been.

I got the coat on now, yeah, I can't get it off.
