[PW] Crime fiction quotation

[Ulrich, Paul]

Dear fellow wombats,

In a paperon  morality in the past and in the present Theodor Geiger 
uses a quote from an American crime novel which had to have been 
published before March 1950:
"There can't be a law for you, and a law for me, except in our minds. 
There has to be one law covering both of us, like a blanket. Maybe our 
feet will stick out, but ..."

Does anyone have an idea where this quotation may have come from? Does 
anyone know of a discussion group or experts on the subject which may be 
able to provide assistance.

Thank you very much,
Paul
