make a great Police Commissioner.”
Ashley and Paul were at Mass at the Cathedral. Both received Holy
Communion on that Sunday. Both went for Breakfast, then to the Cemeteries
to visit the Graves of Ronnie, Jess, & Maura, placing a red
rose at each of the graves. Paul, sobbing from all of the stress,
remarked that “Their Murders Cry Out To Heaven For Vengeance & Justice.”
“In Paradisium”(The Final Prayer of The Catholic Church, in the time
of The Latin Mass).

Chapter 8
Dr Mariano Soriano spent the weekend working on his plan with
Scotty Adams, over pints of Harpoon Ale at The Spike Bar, a Gay
Pub on Boylston Street. The Reason? Well-Known Barrister, Roderick
Mc Burney, noted for winning cases on technical grounds, was
in on the conversation. Roderick is also gay and frequents the
place.
They discussed how a NYC Police Officer beat a murder rap in
1976. A rare disease was diagnosed, which allowed the officer to
be declared not guilty by reason of insanity. The Officer only
went to a State Hospital & was discharged in less than a year
after trial. The Officer responded to a 911 call in East New
York, Brooklyn in a Housing Project. The son of his fighting
parents answered the door to his parents’ apartment in the Cypress
Hills Houses. The Officer asked a couple of questions of
the boy and then shot him in the head. The Officer returned to
the 75th Precinct at Sutter Avenue and Linwood Street in East
New York, with no memory of what took place. He looked loopy.
Another alarm via 911 was called in. More cops arrived from NYC
Housing Authority and NYPD. Witnesses gave their observations
and then the Officer was arrested, charged with Murder in The
2nd Degree. He was given a lawyer, who must’ve known the right
Psychiatrist to call.
Dr Soriano, “This is The East New York Combat Defense. I looked
up a rare disease, discovered in 1942, called Psychomotor Epilepsy.
It’s where for a single moment, a person under stress
loses memory and acts on an impulse. (S)He has no memory of the
event. It was that diagnosis which freed the Officer from Criminal
Culpability. It is going to work here.”
Mc Burney,”You’re one a fuckin’ genius, Mariano. Another round
on me. No one will try someone who’s mentally ill. Grenfell will
have to be notified. I could see him peeing in his pants, tasting
election victory.”
Soriano, “Not yet. The 3 targets just became 4 with Mc Auliffe,
that Southern Fried Bozo. Get into court for a 2 day postponement
so I can come up with my expert diagnoses of the arrested
crew. Judge Miranda Galaranga, Beyonce’s Sister will be the
Trial-Arraignment judge. I can just taste victory in the preliminaries.
The Feds won’t even touch the case.”
“They don’t call you ‘The Master Fixer’ for nothing”, exclaimed
Scotty Adams, “Mc Burney? Make your calls and call in your favors.
This will be better than cheap sex in Chelsea.”

Southie received a panicky phone call from Terry Topper, one of
the 2 Owners of The Spike Bar. Topper told him that Scotty Adams,
Roderick Mc Burney & Dr Soriano were plotting to have the
trial-arraignment postponed for two days, until Psychiatric Exams
are conducted on the Defendants. “Yevot once stalked me outside
of Spike and I challenged him to fight me like a man, only
for some wisecrack he made, ‘Silly Faggot, Dicks are for
Chicks.’ My partner, Phil kicked him in the groin & cracked ‘My,
My, you’re gonna be someone’s Gal Friday tonight.’”
Southie, “Yevot is really a dick, mistaking you two for women.
Charges are added for Bias. Take care, Top.”
Southie spoke to Jim Larkin and Sean Lafferty about the Trial
Postponement. “Old Dr Feel Good is at it again. I wonder if he
is bringing his Powdered Elixir to the Suffolk County Jail.”
“Time will tell”, said Larkin, “We gotta wait it out.”
Ashley was in Copley Square, reading an article on why Grenfell
Marstern received huge donations from the Makers of Pax.
Marstern holds huge amounts of stock in the French Company making
Pax. Dr Soriano is on Board of Directors, despite his New
York License Revocation, for his creative uses for Pax. She met
Paul O’Brien and showed him the article.
“Sadly Ash, most people in this town aren’t that literate. They
don’t read articles in newspapers anymore. Rather they would
rather watch the Idiot Box or go online for snippets of information,
instead of looking for the whole story, and making a
judgement. These Pharmaceutical Companies know this, which is
why they’re big sponsors of sporting events. Ancient Rome declined
when people voted not on real issues but on who gave the
most free food and most exciting entertainment”, was Southie’s
sad commentary about what was to come.
“Circus et Panem Maximus”, declared Miss Solu, “I love you,
Paul.” Both embraced in tears, in fear of what was to come. They
then went for a couple of ales in Kenmore on Newberry Street,
listening to their favorite Celtic Punk Band, The Dropkick Murphys.
It was Election Night. Grenfell Marstern won an easy victory by
over 50%. It was apparent that no matter what evil the Marstern
Camp was involved in, most citizens believed in “Circus Et Panem
Maximus.” Interpreted loosely, it meant that the voters didn’t
really give a flying fuck.

At Courthouse Way, two days after the election, Benny Marstern,
Ivan Yevot, Rabbis David and Barry Bernstein, Mario Estrada, Beyonce’
Galaranga and Maria Delgado, were arraigned on Conspiracy
to Defraud Charges, stemming from the Marstein Investment Trust
Company, with Ivan Yevot having to face 1st Degree Murder, 4
Counts. Counsellor Mc Burney entered pleas of “Not Guilty By
Reason Of Insanity” for the 6 Defendants. Mc Burney approached
the Bench, along with the Rookie Assistant District Attorney, to
present an important Defense Expert, Dr Mariano Soriano. Judge
Galaranga allowed for the witness.
Dr Mariano Soriano made his Philadelphia Lawyer Style presentation
of the Disease called “Psychomotor Epilepsy”. He called it
“East New York Combat Disease.” He presented a prior case where
this occurred in the NYPD over 30 Years ago. Everyone, except
O’Brien, Lafferty and Larkin, were spellbound. Those three know
what a bullshit artist Dr Soriano is. But the three wondered WHY
the ADA didn’t object, or bring out Soriano’s Criminal Past, or
even ask that Judge Miranda Galaranga excuse herself, since the
Judge’s Sister was being tried.
The Presentation having been so brilliantly concocted for a fee,
which is quite-hefty, Judge Galaranga announced that the Commonwealth
has no case and all charges are dismissed.
Southie cornered the ADA & demanded an answer. The ADA told him
that “My Boss ordered this as he was promised a judgeship by
Marstern. You can’t beat this system.”
Southie, Larkin and Lafferty wondered about justice and what the
next line of bullshit Soriano could come up with. “What Next, a
rape conviction overturned on Overactive Bladder Syndrome”,
cracked Lafferty.
A night of Celebration was held by Benny Marstern at S & W
Steakhouse in the Downtown area. Scotty Adams ordered rounds of
Champagne. Meanwhile, all that Southie and Company could afford
was a few of rounds of beer. Soriano got his huge pay day from
the Marstern Campaign Fund, in the neighborhood of $240G. Crime
paid big on that day.
Southie and Miss Solu went to the Cathedral, They told Monsignors
Fitzgerald and Farrecchio about what took place on Courthouse
Way. Fitzy remarked that the only true justice occurs when
it’s before the Lord at The End.
Southie cracked “Marstern and Company need a change of heart.
Either that or they need to go fuck themselves.” Ashley laughed
42
herself silly as did Monsignors Fitzgerald and Farrecchio. Then
Paul and Ash went into the evening, for another couple of Harpoon
Ales.
It was New Years Day. Grenfell Marstern was sworn in as Mayor of
Boston. He called for “A Much Saner Society, where one’s Mind is
important to us.” Both Ashley and Paul were at Mass, as New
Years Day is “The Solemnity Of Mary, Mother Of God”.
A few days later, Police Commissioner Scotty Adams called for
testing of O’Brien, Larkin and Lafferty. Dr Soriano came up with
4 Questions to rid the Department of certain problematics who
could expose Marstern once and for all.
The Questions are:
“Are you sexually attracted to young girls? Explain”;
“Do you worship God? Explain”;
“Did you ever have any bad dreams? Explain”;
“Did you have any Recent Fears For Your Life? Explain”.
Scotty got this by fax from Soriano, who called him to say “Say
goodbye to all your problems. The FBI in NYC has been contacted
to rid themselves of that useless doofus, Mc Auliffe.
All 4 were ordered to fill out this Questionnaire. Southie
sighed “It’s our ticket outta here. Marstern’s Crusade for Mental
Health will go way too far, especially when he could make
Yevot 1st Deputy Commissioner.”
Southie, Larkin and Lafferty were ordered out after Soriano released
findings, making all 3 sound like Sexual Deviants.
Soriano got his big pay day. He got an even bigger one for getting
Mc Auliffe removed from the FBI.
“The Witnesses are gone”, proclaimed Yevot, “Let there be celebrations
of our accomplishments.”
Some accomplishments they were, what with a rising crime rate,
Cops with all the effectiveness of Meter Maids, and “Circus Et
Panem Maximus” style entertainment, in the form of Rappers on
the Boston Common, the city was indeed a circus, not unlike some
baseball team in Queens.

Ashley, Paul, Jim and Sean got together and took over the Signal
13 Pub from Terry Topper and Phil Bottomly & called their venture
“Expatriates”, where all are welcome ‘From Wherever You
Hail.” Tom Mc Auliffe joined the Venture.
Southie, “People must know the real story of those who went before
us, who served with valor. May this Venture, keep their
memories alive.”
“Pax Vobiscum. Et Cum Spiritu Tuo”(Peace Be With You. And With
Thy Spirit), Amen.

A Few Words By Ross Mac Duncan
What you read here can happen anywhere in the World. An uncaring
populace can vote for garbage dressed as something delicious and
have no idea what they’re getting into.
Politicians of all stripes are this way. They have nothing to
offer the people in the way of true needs. They come up with
agendas, knowing that people don’t really read anything.
Politicians only care about personal projects and seek to destroy
Civil Servants, who fail to put over some half-cocked useless
Publicity Stunt.
The Persons portrayed here are fictional.
My Good Friend, Eamonn Furlong from County Wexford, Ireland, is
my Editor of this project, injecting humor and other ideas. I
certainly appreciate his humor and input.
Peace Be With You All.
