And I answer, I haven't a clue. As far as I can tell, "Hot
Cash" has never been anthologized, and I don't have a copy of
the Black Mask it was in. (Incidentally, and confusingly for
bibiographers, there was another Gardner story called "Hot
Cash", this one starring Lester Leith, in Detective Fiction
Weekly, 23 May 1931 -- not the only time Gardner reused a
title.)
