When I encountered him, he claimed to be looking for "the King of 42nd Street" who was allegedly driving a "drop-top Cadillac". He seemed to be in bad spirits saying that the King of 42nd Street had taken all of his money, and he (Slim) had come to get his money back. I later heard that a huge fight had occurred between the combatants, and that the "King", aka "Big Jim Walker", had not faired well ("cut in about a hundred places and shot in a couple more"). Of course, these were stories I heard second hand, so who knows if they're true or not.
