The Rear Corridor Guard stanis in a position 1iat pemits him to see
gil prisoners passing from their cells to their work and back, It is
not an erviable assipnrent because it offers no opportunity to con=
verse with the prisoners -- and regardless of how severe a guard is,
he speeds his monotonous hours when the chatter of prisoners, their
Tumors and reports about others, is listened to. Nonetheless, the
position can prove a lucrative ons. An imate with bulging pockets --
attecptin, to pass the Rear Corridor Guard -- ie, generally, accosted.
His pockets are duly examined and contraband confiscated. The imate,

pre-arranged, he nevertheless left the racket on the tennis courts when
he finished his game of tennis. Crattonier had observed him passing to
the courts with it, and returning without it. Such things as these --~
Ancidente that might not attract another's casual glance ~-- are the
things thet the Rear Corridor Guard mst see. Uaturally, he makes a
wental note of it.
