week's episode. I follow events the original airdate March the seventh of nineteen fifty
and the title as The Church Murder Case Arm and I'm a boy. Thank
you, sir. Sorry to make you come out to my home with those
papers, but I didn't need them. That's all right, mister Church.
Yeah, there they are, if you'll sign them out, take them back
to the office in the morning. Very good, Paul, Very good.
Nothing like having a conscientious assistant. Thank you. Have a smoke, boy,
have one here right in his box? Thank you. Wait a minute,
out, I'll light it for you. Here we are, Thank you,
sir. I'm glad you came out, Paul. It's kind of lonesome
out here in this big house with nobody to talk to except that buddy cut
in mine. Glad you came out. I can't stay. You should have
seen your face. It's not so funny. You should have seen your face
with that thing exploding. Ah, it was wonderful. You think so.
It's an old bag button, Stuart. That's the funniest thing I ever thought.
Well, it wasn't to me. I don't think practical jokes are very
funny. Oh you don't, no, Now, isn't that too bad?
Maybe I don't think a lot of things are funny either. Like what's happening
to the books in my office? What do you mean, sir? You
know what I mean. I've been juggled around. It's been a lot of
money taken from my business in the past six months, and I didn't take
it. Mister It had to be either you or miss Kraft, but we
weren't go into that right now, shake hands, boy, so we'll know.
There's no hard feelings about that little explosion. All right, good night,
good night? That buzz are always getting funny. Yeah, we'll come
over again for come over again. And don't worry about that money you've taken
from me. I have plenty of time to do something about it if I
decide to. Can't you stop that typing for a minute? And why sure?
I suppose so? Why? Oh? Now what? And something's got
to be done about the boss? Sounds like melodrama? Now please listen.
What will you bet? Nothing has to be done about the boss? That
you and I are normal people. That outside of the fact that mister Church
is a little eccentric with his practical jokes, he's pretty normal too. Look
at it isn't anything to kid about, darling. I'm completely serious. Look,
you tell me what's wrong with this situation. You and I have good
jobs, we're in love. At least you try to convince me that you're
in love with me, and I'm quite sure I am with you. So
what's wrong? Mister Church? Knows that there's been money disappearing from his safe
here in the office. He let me know he can send me to jail
anytime he likes. Oh no, that's the way it is. Now.
Do you still think nothing has to be done about the boss? Well?
Do you? I'm not sure? And do yes? You know how I
feel about you, and nothing will happen to us, providing something does happen
to mister Church. Good morning, Miss Daring. Why Vans you're in early?
Good morning? Right back at you. I've got some typing to do
and there's nothing in the mail that would interest you. Mistrict Attorney Markham call
no, not yet and Vans, Yes, I'm taking Judo lessons. What
was that? You know? Judo? It's the science of self depends where
the frailest woman can successfully defend yourself against the strongest man. Said that in
the book, the theory being that leverage applied correctly can overcome muscular strength.
Well, that's almost exactly what the instructor told us last night. Here let
me show you all right now, Look, you're a holdup man. Use
meeke up and back up. If I take off my hat first, you're
a holdup man, not a gentleman. Very well, the had stays on.
Now what do I do? You're a holdup man and you're in back
of me, but I don't know you're there? You see now, come
on st Oh you scared me. I guess that's a general idea, though,
isn't it. Now I'm supposed to kick back with my heel and get
you in the ankle, oh Vans, Yes, I guess I forgot to
mention you're supposed to stand still. I'm sorry. What happens if the holdup
man doesn't stand still? Well, I guess I'll find that out in my
second Listen. Eventually I throw him off my shoulder. Though not bad,
not bad except for the holdup man? O him? Who cares about him?
Never mind, Ellen, I'll get it to sell. Come to think
of it, I must remember that mindspect to what death happening? Hello,
Man's Markham. Hello, I'm a friend and a nice fresh murders at the
District Attorney's office, needing a first class solution. Not at the moment anything
doing at your place. Ellen was just trying to throw me over her shoulders.
Well, things are pretty She was trying to do what she's practicing judo
in case a hold up man sneaks up in back of her. She wants
to be able to defend herself and her worldly possessions, which at the moment
consists mainly of a wristwatch. How is she doing with her judo? If
a hold up man gets near her to night when she gets home, somebody
better tell her the time. Not too good. A man's there is a
little excitement down here, but nothing of importance. Pretty much routine. You
over here of Sydney Church, I think so practical joker, very wealthy,
semi retired. That's the man. He called to say he suspected his assistant
Paul Wilson, of systematically robbing him. Intends to file a former complaint soon,
he says myself him to warn you. I'll call you later and see
how you're fixed for lunch. Shouldn't have it so a long man, goodbye.
That's I know what I did wrong. I've got a lot, a
lot of work to do. But as soon as I'm finished, let's try
that hold up thing again. If you like, Ellen, I'll look forward
to being thrown over backwards. Wonderful. It's fabulous, Thank you, I
got it right. It's again, yes, do now all anybody does he
sit down on this cushion. That's wonderful. Well, I have fun with
it. I thought you'd like it, mister Churchill, I originated dead.
Well, all I can say is that you're a genius. A genius.
I've never seen anything quite like Well, now, I bet you never heard
anything like it either. You really like? Oh it's just what I always
wanted. Splendid, splendid. Let me see if I know how to operate
you lorded with blank cartridges right here, that's right bottom in the seat,
and then when somebody sits on it. Mister Williams, I'm hand buzzer,
the itching powder, that, the driple glass. Everything. Well, you've
you've made me so happy, mister church I want you to know that I
keep working on new things for you. I've got an idea for a gimmick
that What was that? I'm sorry, I guess I just can't help being
clumsy. What are you doing in here? Terry? I'm your bodyguard and
nigi wiz I heard shots in here, so I took out my gun and
came in nice and quiet. Only our tripped over the ruck and my gun
went off. Fine bodyguard oh, um, Terry, Yes, come over
here a minute, will ready here next to me. That's right, you're
not sore at me. Imagine he thinks I'm angry at a mister Williams.
Imagine who you wouldn't get right down? Terry? Right there, mister Terry,
you're one of them. Mister Williams. You one who's this new device
of yours? It's one. Thank you. I haven't had such fun at
you, and I won't have as much fun again until I send Forsten to
prison William's novelty shop. Mister william Speaking. All right, this is Church,
William Y that pillar you sold me, the one that fires a blank
cartridge when somebody sits on a day. Oh yes, yes, mister Church.
It's in my safe now the rest of my little lap entertainment devices.
But I want three more. I'm going to give a dinner party, and
I want three more. When is your party, mister Church? When as
soon as you have the pillars ready? Of course? Excuse me a minute,
Yes, I have company. Wow what are you doing here? No,
no, mister Church, mister Church, mister Chuch, Hello Ellen,
Hi, mister Markham, where's oh? Come on in? Thank you?
The bosses at the barber's. What's up that mister Church I told him about
on the telephone one that was going to have his assistant Paul Wilson and died
it for grandlaw's name. Yes, I overheard your conversation. What about mister
Church. There's very little about him right now. He's dead, been shot
shot. Somebody came into his house an hour or so ago, kill him
and robbed his safe which was open. Oh golly, this Church individual was
quite a character, wasn't he. He certainly was. Oh, it's teasing
people with flowers that shoot water and stuff like that. Yes, we know,
of course the Church believed Paul Wilson was stealing from him, and Wilson
knew that Church was in contact with me. There's nothing at the house,
however, to indicate who fired the shot into our eccentric friend. Well,
Vance will fund something, doesn't he always invariably. I'm going out of the
barbers to pick him up. And after that our first stop is going to
be Paul Wilson's apartment. A completely logical move, Markham. It would be
the first thing I do. Wilson is your number one suspect, Believe me,
I think so. Too, vants, that's the reason I wanted you
with me when I came to call on him. This is a poping right
here. The landlady said, did you hear that? Markham? Somebody in
this apartment's hurt. We've got to get in there. I wasn't blocked.
Well, come on in a light switch. Vans should be alongside the door
somewhere, vants. That boy's hurt pretty badly? Is he Wilson? I
don't know. Probably will we shot you? Better get this boy to the
hospital. Better call Markham. Phones over there. I have an idea about
this shooting, though. It'll hold Walt Markham. Yes, I think so.
Operator, This is just your attorney, Markham. Send an ambulance to
a popping thirty five at the doll And Arms right away. How is he?
Vans and sign of being able to talk to us? In and out
of his shoulders near as I can make out. I fixed a temporary bandage
that on a hole until the ambulance gets here. Well, this complicates our
case, don't you think? Maybe he only? I have a completely different
idea. I think Wilson here killed Sydney Church, then came back here to
his apartment and tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the shoulder, all
right. Then he tried to make it look as if he was shot by
whoever it was that killed Church. He didn't want us to suspect him,
so he rigged this little production. You think that, certainly we'll probably find
the gun downstairs in the alley where he threw it out the window. I
don't care whether he tried to kill himself or whether he tried to make it
look as if somebody else was trying to kill him. In either case,
he was looking for an out after shooting Sydney Church. He's guilty. That,
of course, is very possible. Markham. Huh. It doesn't make
me feel a bit better to say this to you, But I don't agree
with that at all. This is just your attorney, Markham. The Church
murder case opened with the shooting of Sydney Church, wealthy practical joker who had
previously reported to me that he suspected an employee, Paul Wilson, of stealing
Poe Vans. And I found Wilson shot. And although I'm convinced that the
wound was self, Inflickted Vance thinks otherwise. Vance and I are in the
hospital. Were now trying to get the truth out of Wilson. We've kept
information about this from the newspapers. All right, wissenspose you tell Vans to
me? Now, who shot you? I can't. I don't know who
did it. I never saw. That doesn't sound very logical. I don't
care how it sounds. I was sitting with my back to the door.
I heard it open. I started to turn around before I could see who
it was. I was shot and I must have passed out. There must
have been a silencer on the gun. Didn't sound like a shot. In
that case. Markham will know if he's telling the truth when the medical examiner
gives you his report. The bullet went in the back of the shoulder and
out the front. I think we can assume that Wilson couldn't have shot him.
So maybe we can and maybe we can't. It all depends on the
angle of the bullet. That, of course is true. Wilson. Yeah,
you were stealing from mister Church. He knew about it. You believed
he was about to report you to me. You broke into his house,
killed him and robbed his saved, didn't you? Please? Mister Martin,
Please leave me alone. My shoulders pretty bad. It hurts. You have
been to mister Wilson's home, Yes, yes, I have not to kill
him. Now leave me alone, will you? Let's go ans. I
won't need a police guard outside his hospital door. Our friend, mister Wilson
feels like talking. He'll let the nurse know and will come back. You
will come back, Markham. I doubt whether it will be necessary for me
to come here again. How are we supposed to add when we talk to
a landlady. I don't know, Ellen, I guarantee one thing. You
are not to try to throw her over your shoulder. Promise. Sure chances
are with my luck to the landlady is taking two Judo lessons. You know
we're all one that I don't know where? Just how well? Ellen,
Let's see what she can tell us about her tenant, the slightly shut up
mister Paul Wilson. Maybe she has an extra apartment she'd liked. Lazy Markram
has his way, She's going to have one, Paul Wilson's. Yeah,
what is it if you're selling anything? I don't want me don't want to
rent an apartment. I ain't got me. If you just want to waste
time. I don't have anything. How do you do? My name is
Vilo Vans. You don't say, well, I can't use any of that
either. What do you too want? You want to know something about Paul
Wilson. Paul Wilson, Oh, it's fine. He's in my place two
days and gets himself shot. Don't see his girlfriend and Craft? She lives
right next door. If anybody ought to know anything about him, she should,
You say, Paul Wilson only lived here two days when he was as
what I said? Ain't it so matter? You're hearing bad diary? Two
days ago he took the apartment here and this Craft girl were going to be
married. And that's all I know. Good day, Thank you, missus
Smith. Who now there's a character to try my judo on. You better
go home and practice, ELDM. I'm going to call on miss Kraft.
Will you call me and let me know what happened? Yes? I will.
Well in that case, don't think it hasn't been charming. See you
later. Yes, I'm follow Vans. May I come in? Well?
Yes, I suppose. So what is it you want? I want to
talk to you about your fiance? Paul Wilson don't mention his name to me.
I never want to see him again. We had an appointment last night
and never kept it. He hasn't been in his apartment all night. He
couldn't very well be. He's in the hospital. Oh no, he's been
shot. Where what hospital? What happened to him? Tell me what happened
to Paul. I'll get my head and caught. Please tell me what happened
while I get them. We don't know that closet door stuck. I'll help
you with Oh, never mind, like it there please? Sorry, mister
Bean's telling me what happened to Paul and where he is. He's in the
Baker hospital. He's not hurt badly. Oh thank goodness. If you want
to know anything, come back some other time, please, Mister Ben's not
now. I've got to get to pol wisdom. Mister Wilson, if you
say so, okay, but you sure you know what you're doing? Of
course I know, Terry. You and I have to stick together, don't
we. Yeah we both used to work for mister Church, didn't we.
Yeah? We work hand me that glass of water issue? Sure? She
wisom. I'm sorry now, I guess I'm just clumsy. That. That's
why I decided to be a bodyguard. Nobody cares how clumsy bodyguard is.
Yeah. Look, mister Wilson, do you know what you're doing? Of
course? Well, I mean after role you were shot and everything, and
you could be a little touched, you know, I'm not. I'm not
take this money. That's all. I have. A thousand dollars, doesn't
I kept it under my pillow for safekeeping. I'm glad now that I did
take it. Terry, it's yours. She whizz. Okay, you know
I couldn't figure out what you wanted when you called me on the telephone,
but she wiz if it was to give me your grand call again? Will
you mister Wilson, Now you understand what you're supposed to do? Oh sure,
sure, Just not saying nothing about seeing nobody around the house just before
mister Church was killed. That's right, you can trust me, mister Wilson.
Well so long, I'm what's the matter with you? I think I
knocked over the thermometer. You see what I told you? I can't have
it tough? Oh what happened to you? Who told you? I was
here? District Attorney wouldn't let anybody know, and I didn't. I didn't
call you because I didn't. I didn't want to worry you. Never mind
that. How do you feel? I live all right, Terry? That's
all. Who's here? Nobody? So long? Terry? Oh yeah,
she was? Yeah, so long. I miss nice to met you all
some of the time. Maybe, Oh, Paul, what's happened? First
mister Church was killed? Then nobody could find you. It's what you and
I decided, isn't it. If nothing was going to happen to us,
something had to happen to mister Church, didn't it. I don't care if
your name is Filodvance or anything else. Nobody can come in here and talk
tough to me, Terry. I want to know where you got the money
to buy those new clothes. Tell me I found it. I get out
of here before I throw you. Terry, listened to me you were mister
Church's bodyguard. You decide, yes, you want me to throw you out
of here? You're ready to get to us? That hardly? Okay?
You had your chance, And I see how you like this? You very
much? If you look out see whisky, I ain't even a very good
somebody guard for myself. Yeah, let me help you up there we are
now. Look, Terry, I came here to talk to you. I
found you with an armful of new clothes and a lot of money lying around
almost six hundred dollars I got let from what well from the thousand that poor
Wilson game me. So I shouldn't say I saw nobody around the joint when
mister Church got killed. It was all it though he had too kind of
stupid. It was stupid? Why because what could I tell anybody? I
didn't see nobody around the house. Not a soul As far as I know,
mister Church could have dropped dead. And you know mister Vans from what
people say, with his practical jokes and oil, that wouldn't have been such
a bad idea. They're safe here in the church house. Interest you Vents
very much, Mark, That's why I asked your permission to see it.
It's not a lot. Go ahead and open it if you want. It
contains a lot of the tricks Church used to like to play on people.
Also a lot of money. As we understand it, there was a lot
of money, but not when we found it. Whoever killed Church took that?
Or are you going to dispute that point too. No, I'm inclined
to agree with it's good? What's this supreme itching powder? Is that funny?
Not to me? All those dribble glasses either, all that handshake buzzer
over there? Church wasn't murdered. He just gimmicked himself to death. Or
don't take me seriously, Margam, what would you say this was? That's
the tin box where Church kept his money? Really? I bless you,
thank you. Apparently our dead friend used sneezing powder in his lighter moments.
Yes, hilarious, hobby. Don't you think I'm not thinking anything except that
you asked me not to arrest Paul Wilson and we haven't found any other suspect
to take his place. You mean you want to know who killed Sydney Church.
I most definitely do. I can tell you that good. I can
also tell you where to find the rest of the money that was here.
I think after you send Sergeant Heath to pick up Wilson's girlfriend and craft or
murder, write down everything that goes on in here. Ellen, Please,
maybe it's twenty fans. I'll do it. Good. Go ahead, Paul,
you were talking to miss Kraft all I wanted to know is why she
did it? Why did you do it? Anne? You think I wanted
to go to jail for stealing from the company, but you wouldn't have gone
to jail. Anna. I was protecting you and doing quite a good job
of it too, Miss Craft, if I may say so. Who cares
what you say? Fans? This stupid guy tried to spoil everything. You
shot him, didn't you? Sure? I'll tell you everything now. He
found the money I took from Church's apartment in my closet. What's the they're
holding out? Yeah? I killed Church and I I shot Paul. I
knew you'd shot me, and but I still loved you. I still wouldn't
have told old what that it was I who was stealing from the office.
Church figured it was Paul. I think my boyfriend would have taken the rap
for me, but I didn't want it that way. I saw how I
could get rid of him, grabbed myself some money and being the clear you
you really wanted to kill me? Sure? What are you a bargain?
And I meant to kill you in your room, put the gun on your
hand and make it look like suicide. And I didn't want you to see
me when you started to turn around, I shot. How was I don't
know you were so in love with me. You'd never talked. I told
you, that, didn't ye? You told me. Guys say a lot
of things, but I meant fence. How did you know I did it?
If you really want to know why I knew you were the killer,
We've got to go back to your apartment for what. Look in your closet
where the police found the money from Church's safe. Once I knew you'd taken
it, I knew you were the murderer, all right, But how did
you know? I'm a title of no that Church kept sneezing powder in the
box where he kept his money. When you opened your closet door yesterday to
get your coat, remember you sneezed, So that's what it was. That's
what it was when I saw churches safe. Later did a little sneezing myself.
When the powder got into my nostrils. I realized what must have made
you sneeze. It was the money that had been lying in the safe,
next to the sneezing powder, which you had hidden in your closet. Fine
thing, old man Church still playing practical jokes after he's did I think maybe
I'm going to have the last laugh. I think I can make a breakup.
You think I did it. I did it with my little Juno not
lookally lying on the floor. I must have knocked the wind out of her.
Oh, you most certainly did, Ellen, I did. I guess
it's time we turned this young lady over to mister Markham. I don't think
she knew what she was getting herself into when she started still and from her
employer in the beginning. All I know is that we're at the end of
the Church murder case. The Welcome Back. Well, this episode definitely has
a view on practical jokers, not as people who are jolly, but people
who are obnoxious and even cruel. Nevertheless, despite this obvious view of the
writers, he gets the last laugh as one of his pranks ultimately leads to
the reveal of his murderer. And I have to say that using sneezing powder
to protect your money is a very unique tactic that certainly was enough to boil
any amateur thieves in his office. Though it's ironic because as much money as
he had, that was nothing to sneeze at. But upon a site there
might be some experts in how sneezing powder works that might want to chime in
as to whether the sneezing power order would be effective. I'm just kind of
going with it, although we were kind of reminded of the research issues that
they can have on this show, because I'm kind of dubious that Ellen would
be into throwing people after her first Judo lesson, because generally the martial arts
don't start off with that sort of lesson, usually doing more foundational stuff in
early lessons. Arkham's big jump here to pen the murder onto the mail clerk
pulls to mind the Homesyan axiom. It's a capital mistake to theorize before one
has data. Sensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories
to suit facts. And you felt that with Barkham reaching the conclusion that the
gunshot wound was self inflected, there is a way of committing suicide or throwing
police off the trail, and Markham even guessed that they would find specific evidence
to support his conclusion. Advance seemed to be taken aback a little bit.
It was like a suicide by shooting himself in the shoulder. Well, at
any rate. Now we turned to a listener comments and feedback. Ronser wrote
in regarding the Michael Piper Detective episode Canada Dry. Still around Canada Dry,
the sponsor of that series, but mostly known for Ginger rail, There was
a bottling plant just off the Garden State Parkway with a Canada Dry bottle,
probably a water tower. Later the plant was purchased by perhaps Blue Ribbon,
and you guessed it, the bottle changed from soda to beer. Well,
thanks so much. Yeah, a good local insight, and I enjoy a
nice Canada Dry diet ginger, although I don't indulge in it all that often,
mainly because the price of off drinks has gone up so much so and
I'm too cheap, too near as often as I used to. Then we
have a comment from Pete, who writes, I've been listening to various broadcasts
for a while now I notice you take complaints about your commentary in the show
ads. These are totally unfair. You've got a natural delivery and keen insight
that I always enjoy. Also, the ads of defunct sponsors like Rexall or
Petrie Wines are all part of the old time radio experience. Keep up the
good work and don't get discouraged. Well, thank you so much, Pete.
I appreciate the encouragement. I've been recording for so many years, and
I like to think that over the years that we've been doing this that I've
gotten better at dealing with constructive criticism and at weeding out the destructive sort of
criticism. A long ago stopped reading like absolute hateful comments with no redeeming value
because I realized that wasn't the type of thing I wanted to focus on the
podcast. And thankfully, these sort of comments are few and far between,
and they're not anything extraordinary or overwhelming. It just tends to be the typical
thing. If you create anything online, you're going to get people who will
just be nasty. And I've gotten to the point where most of the time
it doesn't bother me much. Though sometimes you know, if you're having a
really bad day already and then you just get that hate message and it just
makes your day a little worse. At those times, it is really helpful
to be able to call to mind all of the great supportive comments that we've
gotten from so many great listeners, and so I really do appreciate your encouragement.
It is such a blessing. Now, one thing I do want to
mention here because you mentioned Rexall being a defunct brand, and I was kind
of confused by that because I remember buying something with a Rexall brand name,
you know, in the last year, and so I looked into it.
And it's a little bit of a confusing situation. To borrow a bit from
the Princess Bride. Rexall is not dead, but it is mostly dead in
the United States. Anyway, if you're one of our Canadian listeners, you're
like, I don't know what you're talking about, because there are a lot
of Rexall drug stores in Canada. It's run by a separate company and it's
a fairly significant concern. In the United States, there were more than twelve
thousand independent Rexall drug stores in operation, and they also manufactured and sold their
own brand of drugs and medical supplies. Now the chain of stores as a
chain is no more. There's no corporate office, there's nothing in place.
There's no affiliation of Rexall pharmacies, but there is the brand of medical supplies,
and the Rexall brand for medical supplies was acquired through Dollar General. Now
I have to admit I'm a little vague how anything owned by Dollar General have
come to Boise, because the only Dollar General in the state is eight hours
away. But somehow Dollar Generals Rexall supplies made it to Boise. And I
have to say that I've listened to a lot of Rexall sponsored programs. You
know, Richard Diamond over NBC was sponsored by Rexhall, and I loved Jimmy
Duranti, and Rexall also sponsored Duranty. And I'd had a Rexall pharmacy in
a small town I spent my teen years in, and I saw all of
these Rexall medical supplies and found myself strongly drawn to them, even though I
had no immediate need for them whatsoever. It's like, I know, I
don't need it, but it's labeled Rexhall. So those radio ads were really
effective. So Rexall's around in that way. It's also around in another way,
in a way that's kind of vanishing, and that is that even though
the chain is defunct, you will still have pharmacies out there that will have
their the name of the pharmacy as still a Rexall pharmacy. You know that
if it was called Bob's Rexall Pharmacy for decades and decades and decades. Why
go and change all of your business cards, your signs, your decor why
not instead just keep doing what you're doing. There's no one charging you for
doing it, and you're still the same pharmacy you've always been. I had
listeners actually send me pictures, you know, when they were out and about
or traveling, they would come across Rexall pharmacies. Now it does seem like
that there are decreasing number, but I was able to find at least one
that still is using the Rexall branding. So Rexall a mostly dead brand,
but through the fuller general that part that's not quite dead is kind of inner
test. Thank you once again for your email. Now it's time to thank
