He 95 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,159 located her, but before I could get there, she bought a ticket to 96 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,639 New York and paid it again. Do you know if the police?

Hagan won't tell them anything about me. I know too much about 166 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,279 him in a letter. You're right, Hagen won't tell the police anything. 167 00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:45,320 But the reason he won't tell him isn't that he's afraid, is that he's 168 00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:58,679 dead. When sudden death calls wearing a white tie and leaving a calling card 169 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:03,840 on the of a forty five caliber slug, it's frequently just another case for 170 00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:07,720 the Falcon. But when wholesale disaster threatens a community, that's the time when 171 00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:11,879 everyone thinks. In terms of the Red Cross, the nineteen forty nine Red 172 00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:16,759 Cross Campaign has set its sights on the sum of sixteen million dollars to assault. 173 00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:20,919 The problems that lie ahead this year. The increased total of disasters in 174 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,519 the last year, the expanding national blood program, the large number of community 175 00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:30,799 services. All these require greater Red Cross efforts, made possible only by the 176 00:15:30,879 --> 00:15:35,159 financial supports and volunteer participation of the people. Remember this, You, through 177 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:41,240 your contributions and voluntary action, are the Red Cross providing a channel through which 178 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,159 compassion and mercy find expression in the relief of human suffering. You too, 179 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:54,679 can help through your Red Cross. I'll back to the Adventures of the Falcon. 180 00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:00,320 It's a couple of hours since the bottom Lilliam Pagan was found in an 181 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:06,360 alley behind the apartment house where Kay Davis lives now. Peter Alexa, or 182 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:17,759 the client whom Mike Wearing had rejected once again at Wearing's door. Oh you 183 00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:19,120 again, Alex, Yes, may I come in? I want to talk 184 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,559 to him? Okay, all right? What is it, Wearing eye? 185 00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:29,080 Don't suppose I could persuade you to forget my visit you this morning? Perswade 186 00:16:29,159 --> 00:16:33,159 me home? Money? Why? I have my reasons. What would it 187 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,519 cost for you to forget if you ever saw me? Sorry? Like, 188 00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:40,279 oh my memory is too good and I was afraid you take your attitude. 189 00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:44,399 Well, then, Wearing, there's just one thing to do. Gott'll be 190 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,960 cards on the table. But at about time, Wearing next air, I 191 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,519 wanted you to find Yes, she is not my sister. Surprised he was 192 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,399 my girlfriend ran away with another man. I want to that, but I 193 00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,799 don't intend to risk a murder to get her. Where does murder come in? 194 00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:06,400 I'm one of my boys. Julie Hagen looking for Kji Fama. According 195 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,119 to the paper, he's been murdered and you figure she did it. I 196 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,720 don't know. Worry about her boyfriend and possibility. I want you to look 197 00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:15,000 into it, all right, as long as you don't start acting KOI again, 198 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,519 I can't. Now the police are bound to find out Hagen was on 199 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,119 my payroll. You figure the police will think you killed him if we don't 200 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,839 find the girl. I'm the only person in New York had any connection with 201 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,680 him. Uh huh. What I'd like would be to hop a plane back 202 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,680 to the coast and make like I've never been here, But that would require 203 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,359 your cooperation and been able to buy that. So your next best bet is 204 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,839 to get me to crack the case for him. All right time, k 205 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,200 Only Now, whatever I find out, I turn over to the police instead 206 00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:42,440 up for you. Whatever you say, all right? Like, so I'll 207 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,039 do what I can't good. I wish you laugh. Thanks and considering what 208 00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:49,279 happened to the last scholar who tracked down your girl for you, I'm going 209 00:17:49,359 --> 00:18:07,519 to need it. Homicide clab Tennant Gleason speaking, I mic wearing salary, 210 00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:08,880 wearying. We don't have a thing for you. Do you know? You 211 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,599 don't know what I want? I know what we've got. Oh, you're 212 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,119 too monist. You want to be able to give me something on the Hagen 213 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,240 Dase. Well, I told you I don't have any suspects a girl, 214 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,680 but you interest me strangely before you start answering in the streets wearing. We 215 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,759 don't have very much on her, only that Hagen was found in an alley 216 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,359 behind the building where she lives. Her address was in his pocket, but 217 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,799 she claims she didn't know him. We can't prove different. We're checking. 218 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,079 Don't mind that. What does she look like? One bleach? About five 219 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,599 five, good looking but a little on the husky side. For day? 220 00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:44,799 Where can I find her at home? I guess we're not holding her yet? 221 00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:47,359 But what goes? Mike? I'll let you know after I've seen her 222 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,720 and if she's who I think she is. The answer to your question is 223 00:18:49,960 --> 00:19:10,119 plenty h What do you want you are? And what a girl in the 224 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,240 picture? What pictures that Alexa showed me? What? I don't know what 225 00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:18,200 you're talking about. I don't know any alexxas well. Let me come in 226 00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:22,160 and I'll tell you all about it. You don't, then I go to 227 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,680 the police and tell them that the Karen Durrance they questioned is really Kay Davis 228 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,720 of Los Angeles and Joey Hagen came to New York for the express purpose of 229 00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:37,200 finding it. You win, come in. Thanks, and now Mike wearing 230 00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:44,759 the futon, you're working for Alexa. The police know about him yet, 231 00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:47,640 not yet, but I'll have to turn what I have over to them pretty 232 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,279 soon. I don't think you will. That's not very smart pulling a gun. 233 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,599 I'm not going to talk, all right, I don't talk. The 234 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,079 police have a corpse, they'll check on his background. It will lead them 235 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,799 to Alecxa, and that'll lead them to you. I don't know what to 236 00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:03,640 do. I have to have time to think. He should have thought before 237 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,119 you killed Hagen. I didn't kill him. He came here to see you, 238 00:20:06,319 --> 00:20:07,960 Yes, And you didn't want him to report back to Alexo. He 239 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,640 wasn't going to report back. Why not? He wanted me to pay him 240 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:17,480 not to and you agreed. I was going to sink it over. But 241 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,079 killing him with a cheaper route. I tell you I didn't kill him. 242 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,000 I want to ask you something he's wearing. Go ahead, what is Alexo 243 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,160 paying you? Why? Whatever it is, I'll double it. It will 244 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,759 work for me. Sounds like the same deal Hagen gun and look what happened 245 00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:36,480 to him. No, no, I've given up trying to get away from 246 00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:40,079 Alecto. I see it's no use, But I'm on a spot with a 247 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:45,119 murder. Maybe you can help kill me. Maybe unless you're guilty, I'm 248 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:51,240 not well. What do you think? All right? Kay? You've hired 249 00:20:51,279 --> 00:21:12,720 yourself a detective? Hello? Huh you must be Vic Jones. Who are 250 00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:17,119 you? Mike Wearing? What do you want you? If you are Jones, 251 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,640 you fit Kay's description. I've been waiting in front of the building for 252 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,559 you to come home. Kay, Sancha, I'm working for her. Why 253 00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:26,559 did she send you here? As a matter of fact, she didn't. 254 00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:29,119 That was my idea. She wants me to work on the Hagen case. 255 00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:33,039 I thought you might know something. What would I know, Lenny, if 256 00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:36,519 you're the murderer? What? Why would I want to kill Hagen? You 257 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,680 wanted Kay for yourself, Alexe wanted her back. Hagen found her for him. 258 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,640 You could have killed Hagen to keep him from reporting the only one trouble 259 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,440 with that Wearing? Yeah? What can I had already spit that last night, 260 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,240 So why should I care if Alexelf found her? It looks like my 261 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,240 client has been holding back on me unless you're lying if you don't believe me, 262 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,680 asked Kay, I may do that at first. I'd like to ask 263 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,279 you if you more questions? Yeah, yeah, sure, but not that 264 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,960 out here and there straight we can we can go inside, all right. 265 00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:11,400 I don't understand wearing if if you're working for K how come you thought I 266 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:15,200 killed Hagen? Why shouldn't I? I didn't know you and she had split 267 00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:18,680 up? But didn't she tell you what happened with Hagen? What did heppen? 268 00:22:19,799 --> 00:22:22,880 Oh? No, if you don't know, I'm not saying. Boy, 269 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,599 I've had enough trouble with Kay. She thought I tipped Hagen off about 270 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,119 her. I think I've convinced her I didn't by now, but I'm not 271 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,279 going to give her any other reason to blow up. Oh she blew up? 272 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,480 Huh? Yeah? Well why did she care if Hagen found her? 273 00:22:40,079 --> 00:22:42,880 Since you'd already split with you on account of the seventy five grand? But 274 00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:48,559 what's seventy five grand? Well? Didn't she tell you that either? No? 275 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:55,200 I didn't tell you much seems not Well in that case, there's not 276 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,319 much I can do for you either. But if you know anything, here 277 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:03,319 we are no use swearing. I'm not talking, so you might as well 278 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,200 run a law not yet, Well, I tell you, I'm not good. 279 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:15,400 What's the matter. Somebody in the bed.

I'll back to 290 00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:23,279 the Adventures of the Falcon. Twenty minutes have passed since Mike Wearing and Vick 291 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:29,000 Jones surprised an intruder in Jones's apartment. Now in another part of town, 292 00:24:29,319 --> 00:24:38,880 Kay Davis stands outside the door of a hotel room. Hey, hello, 293 00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:45,440 Alexo, this is a surprise. I thought it would be. Come in 294 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:52,079 all right. I see you'll never give up, Alexo, and I'm tired 295 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,400 of running. So here I am good. Tell me something? Is it 296 00:24:57,559 --> 00:25:02,039 me or the money? That you were really active? Don't you know? 297 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,480 You're like? No, Bobby talked. We really had a bed with that 298 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:14,759 crumb Vic. That's all over now, I'm glad to hear that. Now 299 00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:18,519 we can go back and pick up where we let go. Weren't you forgetting 300 00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:26,279 something? What a little matter of murder? That's right, But I think 301 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,200 I know how we can take care of that. If you play it right. 302 00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:34,000 Pick together, we are to be able to pin this on Vic Jones 303 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,400 by this on the side, seventy five grand. Suppose I'm not the one 304 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,519 who took it from this? Vic did and ran off with me, But 305 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,039 I didn't know it was your money. Couldn't we say that? Then? 306 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,240 What? So you weren't really looking for me, You were looking for Vic. 307 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,599 The only reason you tried to find me was that I could lead you 308 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,279 to Victor. Oh sure, I get it. Then when Hagen found you, 309 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,039 Vic had to kill him to keep me away from the two of you. 310 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,839 That's it, gives him a motive. I've already started on it. 311 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,079 I've plighted your beat case, the one I took the money in vic apartments. 312 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,480 Nice.

Yea, I commend wearing of course. Come in. Thanks. 317 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,240 Oh my other clients here too, How good? Hello? Okay your 318 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,039 other clients. Yeah, I have no objection to a double flee, since 319 00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:48,880 you both want me to do the same job. Crack Hagen's murder. Okay, 320 00:26:49,599 --> 00:26:52,200 why didn't you tell me you were the one who beat Hagen's head in? 321 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,200 What? Who told you that? Vick? No, he must've He's 322 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:03,960 the only one who what who knew? Don't be till that gun killing? 323 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,680 That's better. Matter of fact, Hey, nobody told me, But you 324 00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:12,960 told me yourself. Hagen found you, and he wouldn't have let you get 325 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,400 away from him again unless he couldn't help himself. You admitted you didn't pay 326 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,319 him. Well, I didn't mean to kill him. It was an accident. 327 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,119 I just wanted to knock him out so I could get away. She 328 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,039 killed him, but I thought, oh no, I like so she didn't, 329 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,400 but she thought she did. That's why she's been so hysterical. I've 330 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,680 checked with the police. Hagen's head was covered with blood, but there was 331 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,440 no blood in the alley where he was found. That means he was killed 332 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,039 somewhere else and brought there. But hard does that mean that kab wouldn't the 333 00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:42,039 planet is a body right behind her own apartment building, h but point two, 334 00:27:42,079 --> 00:27:45,599 directly toward her. See, but Dick knew I'd not Hagen out in 335 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:51,640 the el until he brought the body there. Friendly it was not necessarily Hagen 336 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,480 recovered left. He could have told anyone else what happened. That's right. 337 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,200 But who else would have wanted to kill Hagen? How about you, Alexo, 338 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,880 me Eigen double crossed you. You wanted revenge, you killed it. 339 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,400 I didn't. I didn't know about the double cross when you tried to frame 340 00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:11,160 K. No use, Alexo. All I need is a few more answers 341 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,839 from K and I'll have all the facts I need, And now that she 342 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,960 realizes how you tried to frame her, I think she'll give them to what 343 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,680 is this wearing? I hired you to clear me. You hired me to 344 00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:33,839 solve the case Alexe, and that's exactly what I'm doing to frame me. 345 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,519 Oh that's right, Joe, I'm sure glad you saw. How did you 346 00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:42,039 know Alexa was the murderer? Well? I didn't. I was just feeling 347 00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:48,000 my way. First I eliminated K the body being planted in the alley cleared. 348 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,599 Yeah, yeah, you told me. But then there was one fact 349 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,880 I had to get straight. What was that our Alexo and K got together. 350 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,759 Kay could tell me, but I had to make sure she was telling 351 00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:00,960 the truth. And that's why I accused Alexo. Why Yeah, because if 352 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,759 she thought Alexo was the murderer and that he had tried to frame her, 353 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:07,359 then she wouldn't try to protect him. So I accused him. And then 354 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,119 I asked how Alexo found her. She said he didn't find her, that 355 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,960 she went to see him herself tonight. So wild, Why don't you see 356 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,400 Alexo wanted to find Kay and his seventy five thousand dollars Hagen knew where Kay 357 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,319 was, so Alexa would never have killed Hagen until Hagen had taught and he 358 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,680 obviously hadn't thought because Alexo was still looking for her, which means Alexo didn't 359 00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:32,279 kill Hagen either. But if he didn't, if he didn't and Kay didn't, 360 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,359 that just leaves Yeah, that's right, you Jones. But why would 361 00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:41,720 I. I had to kill you because she thought you'd tipped Hagen off about 362 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,559 where to find her. You denied tipping him. You hope to convince Kay 363 00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:48,279 of your denial, but you couldn't if Hagen told her the truth. You 364 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:55,039 killed him to shut him up. Well, there it is. Isn't it 365 00:29:55,079 --> 00:29:57,160 a shame? Joanes? Why that they went to the trouble of trying to 366 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:08,119 frame you when you were give the whole time. Death is a one armed 367 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:17,599 bandit. Death is a one armed bandit. That's the title of next week's 368 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,559 Adventure of the Falcon, when Mike Waring learns that when it comes to slot 369 00:30:21,759 --> 00:30:26,000 machines, is more than one way to make a killing. So be sure 370 00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:30,519 to listen next week at this time to another exciting adventure of the Falcon. 371 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,000 The Adventures of the Falcon are based on the famous character created by Drexel Drake, 372 00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:45,680 produced by Bernard L. Hubert, written tonight by Gene Wang and directed 373 00:30:45,759 --> 00:30:49,880 by Richard Lewis. Music by Emerson Buckley, composed by Richard DuPage Less Tremaine 374 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:55,880 With starred as the Falcon, with Beverly Roberts's Cage Russ Dunbar speaking. This 375 00:30:56,039 --> 00:31:17,039 program came from New York. This is the mutual broadcasting system. Welcome Back 376 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,960 the Falcon takes a bit of getting used to. I don't think I've ever 377 00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:26,839 heard a radio program other than this series where the person asking the detective to 378 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,880 explain how he solved it at the end actually turns out to be the killer. 379 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:38,640 I have to say that Alexo massively underrated Wearings, credulity, and intelligence 380 00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:44,839 by trying to get him to take the case no questions asked, because any 381 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,759 reputable private detective is going to do that, and if they don't, they're 382 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:55,200 probably too incompetent to work for you. I also did have one laugh at 383 00:31:55,319 --> 00:32:00,599 loud moment at the beginning, when Vick was begging the guy he'd bet on 384 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,559 to get up and Casey said, don't disturb him, he needs his rest. 385 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,119 That was a fantastic line and I hope you enjoyed this week's episode. 386 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:14,000 Now, one quick programming note. Next week is going to be our recording 387 00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:19,519 break and most of the programs will take a week off. In the case 388 00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:22,640 of The Falcon, will actually be taking two weeks off, and there are 389 00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:28,960 reasons for that, mainly having to do with recording schedule. Plus when we 390 00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:34,480 do return, we will be introducing less Damon as the Falcon. So this 391 00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:38,759 kind of feels like a really good stopping point where I'm not going to mess 392 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:45,799 up people's routine too badly. And of course we will have seasonal on course 393 00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:51,039 the next couple of weeks for both Christmas and New Year's All right, well, 394 00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:53,359 now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and I 395 00:32:53,440 --> 00:33:00,240 want to go ahead and thank John Eric, Patreon supporter since March twenty twenty, 396 00:33:00,759 --> 00:33:06,440 currently supporting the podcast at the shameless level of four dollars or more per 397 00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:09,079 month. Thank you so much for your support, John Eric, and that 398 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:14,880 will do it for today. We will be back in three weeks with another 399 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,000 episode of The Falcon, but join us back here tomorrow for the start of 400 00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:25,960 this week's Yours truly, Johnny Dollar and our Christmas episodes where it will eighty 401 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,119 minutes from now if you say it a way, Well, Nick, you're 402 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,880 lucky we're not standing out there on the sidewalk and carsid. I haven't got 403 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,799 run to swing. It's still a fool, eh, I don't know. 404 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,400 Why don't you write me about it? You'll have plenty of time hop there 405 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,359 in the desk. Cell. I suppose I didn't make any claim on that 406 00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:45,920 policy, and you wouldn't have any reason to stay on a case no sale, 407 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,119 Nick, one hundred grand is a lot of money. I'd want to 408 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,240 find out why you didn't make a claim. Oh no, why you're out 409 00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:57,759 to pennis on me and so at the cups man with the record hasn't got 410 00:33:57,799 --> 00:34:00,920 a chance. You should have thought of that before you kill Milpray. Want 411 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,680 to know something, Jenny, I didn't kill Well, I'm betting you did. 412 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,199 What do you care who killed him? You're not shed any tears over 413 00:34:07,239 --> 00:34:09,239 it now, but I'd sure hate to see you get away with it. 414 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,719 And I'd hate it even more if anything happened to that girl Kathy Odd. 415 00:34:14,599 --> 00:34:17,239 Now what could happen to her? She just might fall on the river. 416 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,079 She probably thinks she's safe as long as she hides from the police and refuses 417 00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:24,400 to talk. And I hope you'll be with us then. As I said 418 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:30,559 at the start of the podcast, I'm doing a round robin crossover with three 419 00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:37,639 other old time radio podcasters, and today we will be on Classic Comedy of 420 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:44,079 Old Time Radio where we'll be listening to an episode of Armis Brooks after I 421 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,719 signed off.

It's time once 430 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,880 again for another comedy episode of Our Miss Brooks written by al lewis Well. 431 00:35:49,159 --> 00:35:52,719 Most of us spent Christmas Eve with our families and friends, but our Miss 432 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,800 Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, wasn't quite so fortunate. 433 00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:00,199 No, my family was too far away to visit. It seems my friends 434 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,920 had other plans. But I made up my mind not to brood about it, 435 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,280 and was trimming a rather tiny tree in our living room when my landlady, 436 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:13,639 missus Davis joined me. What a nice tree, Connie. It isn't 437 00:36:13,679 --> 00:36:16,079 really, Missus Davis, but it's the only one I could afford. Oh 438 00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:20,440 what did you pay for it? I found it in a vacant lot. 439 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,679 What I like about it is the size. It's not too big or too 440 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:32,119 small, it's just too small. I'd like to stay here and celebrate Christmas 441 00:36:32,159 --> 00:36:36,440 Eve with you, Connie, but I promised my sister Angela i'd come over 442 00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:39,920 to her place. You remember Angela, the absent minded one. Oh, 443 00:36:40,039 --> 00:36:45,199 certainly, Missus Davis. She always got a big thrill out of the holidays, 444 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,360 even when we were girls. Course, the poor dear could never remember 445 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,119 when it was actually Christmas, and one Christmas morning she did the funniest thing. 446 00:36:55,079 --> 00:37:02,079 What's that, Missus Davis? What's what? Dear? What did Angela 447 00:37:02,199 --> 00:37:12,320 do? Angela, your sister, my sister, the absent minded one? 448 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,920 What did she do? I haven't spoken to Angela in some time? Or 449 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:23,199 did she's enough to That's what I'd like to know. Maybe I can refresh 450 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:30,440 your memory Christmas morning, Angela did the funniest thing? Christmas Morning isn't until 451 00:37:30,519 --> 00:37:36,480 tomorrow, Connie, you must be confused. Well, don't worry about it. 452 00:37:36,639 --> 00:37:39,679 I only get these spells once in a while where you shouldn't let it 453 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,920 go. Connie, if you don't mind my offering a little advice, I'd 454 00:37:45,039 --> 00:37:49,599 like to suggest that you train your mind to concentrate more. I'll do it, 455 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,280 Missus Davis. Now I've developed a little scheme which works wonderous and eat 456 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,960 Supposing you have trouble remembering where you put things around the house, well you 457 00:37:59,119 --> 00:38:02,679 just keep repeating the location to yourself with a sort of rhythm. For example, 458 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:07,639 I just chant to myself, the muster's in the closet, The bread 459 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:12,920 is in the bout, bread is in the box, the mustards in the 460 00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:15,920 closet. It's the bread is in the box. Now isn't that simple? 461 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:22,920 Or mustard in the closets, that's wonderful, Missus Davis. If anybody wants 462 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:29,639 a mustard sandwich, you're really ready? Yes, Now, before I do 463 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,400 anything else, I want to invite you to join me tonight. Join you, 464 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:38,800 Yes, dear, I'm going over to Angela's house. That's right. 465 00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:46,039 She's so cute with that little absent mind of hers. Sometimes she forgets what 466 00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:50,519 she's talking about right in the middle of a sentence. And oh, dear 467 00:38:50,679 --> 00:38:53,920 me, I hope that cat's got enough milk. Well, I'm sure if 468 00:38:53,960 --> 00:39:00,280 we but then maybe someday or if it doesn't seem too And that's why I 469 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:06,599 can't join you tonight. Thanks anyway, Missus Davis, I'll just spend a 470 00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:10,159 quiet evening at home here. But how about mister Boynton. Don't tell me 471 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,719 he was too shy to ask you for a date on Christmas Eve? Why 472 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:19,760 do you think there's mistletoe on all four walls? No, mister Boynton asked 473 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,760 me, all right, but then he canceled yesterday, said he's going upstate 474 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,760 to visit his folks for a couple of days. But don't worry about me, 475 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,239 Missus Davis. I'll have a gay time. I'll listen to the radio, 476 00:39:30,679 --> 00:39:37,159 read and from this window I can see our neighbor's television antenna. Said, 477 00:39:37,199 --> 00:39:40,920 what about the little gifts you've got for Walter Denton and mister and missus 478 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,400 Conklin and Harriet When you're going to deliver them? Oh? They told me 479 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,119 not to bother. They said we'd exchange on the twenty sixth. The twenty 480 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,559 sixth, But I don't think the day after Christmas is the time to exchange, 481 00:39:52,639 --> 00:40:00,280 Dear, you don't. You should see the department stores. What's that, 482 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:05,639 Missus Davis. It's Minerva. Where are you, dear? Oh she's 483 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:12,159 over by the tree. You're over a Minerva, isn't it
