If the easy-money players had ever guessed that the man who paid them off was the Walter Winchell of the other side of the law, he’d he cashing in his own checks at the first turn of the wheel, instead of those of the gamblers he spun it for.The Blue Barrel appeared in the mid-1930s within the pages of Dime Detective, the prestigious crime pulp second only to the legendary Black Mask in its impact on the genre.
