1934 Alice in Jails: Streets/Regarding Graham

Synopsis
From Ladd Russo's Story to His White-Suited Friends Ladd defines Graham Specter as someone "screwy," obsessed with breaking people and objects in the same way that Ladd is single-mindedly stuck on killing people. Graham himself loathes the idea of killing (much to Ladd's chagrin), considering everyone and everything as objects destined to inevitably break someday.

In other words, Graham lacks one iota of "ethical sense about murder" in an utterly opposite fashion to Ladd, yet still refuses to commit murder. As a result, many Russo Family members used to call him a coward—logic which Ladd finds ridiculous. As proof, he relates how Graham "busted up" the men's joints with ecstatic joy; then, he admits he "finished off the men" once they started plotting to give Graham a taste of his own medicine.
