Previously on Chillingworth.

That was the last time anyone ever saw the Chillingworth's alive.

Most people, if they just committed the most notorious crime in the history of the state of Florida,

would lay low, but Joe and Floyd did the complete opposite.

They planned to not only maintain the bribery scheme that have been running swimmingly for many months,

but also to launch their own Bolita operation and a bookmaking enterprise.

And an Australian ace is declared the winner.

So things were going great until a gambler from Fort Lauderdale laid down large wagers on several horses and chose the winner in all but one of the races.

The book hadn't generated enough cash to pay off the bets, so they were down $40,000 to the man.

This man was connected to the largest crime syndicate in the Southeast.

So Floyd and Joe knew they couldn't simply not pay the lucky better.

Joe's solution was a classic, straightforward plot.

He would take out a double indemnity life insurance policy on Hal Gray and then kill his hapless partner.

And Joe, Floyd and Jensir set the stage for yet another murder.

The very second Howe walked into the Chi-Chi Club, Floyd began to shower him with insults as he whacked him over the head over and over.

Joe urged Floyd to leave Hal alone.

Floyd realized that Joe was calling off the operation.

Floyd knew it was all over at that point.

Joe's queasiness, his abject failure to do to Hal Gray, what he'd insisted his friends do to Judge

Chillingworth, had now put Floyd in a position where he'd be on trial for attempted

murder in about two months.

Welcome back to Chillingworth. I was always surprised with the fact that Harold was able to withstand those blows from the blackjack.
