BLACKJACK

Supposed to have been called that from knockout effects consequent upon indulgence. The blackjack was an instru– ment frequently carried by criminals in the pocket now sacred to hip-flasks. It usually consisted of a piece of lead covered with leathei "thongs, an extension of which went over the holder's wrist. Applied to the temple of the victim, it usually resulted in temporary or permanent coma. Fre– quently, those to whom its namesake was applied, or who applied themsel~es to it, recovered consciousness later on. (claret) Open pony Kirschwasser
