I am eight months ago you married a lovely twenty seven year old 26 00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:49,520 girl. Now I'm with you a month, lady. It took out a 27 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,120 fifty thousand dollars life insurance policy unachieved of police's salary. I did, huh? 28 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:57,159 And who did I name? His beneficiary? Your beautiful wife? Who 29 00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:00,840 else? So? So three days ago you were shot. Today I had 30 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,840 a feeling it wasn't gonna last, And twenty four hours later your wife files 31 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,199 a claim on the policy. My friends tried to warn me she was fast. 32 00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:08,599 Well, there's the setup. What do you think, the same thing 33 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,759 you probably do in that case. You got just fifty six minutes to catch 34 00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:15,960 the plane. The town is Greensport, Missouri. And watch yourself. What 35 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:25,400 do you mean from what I hear, Johnny, it's a wide open town 36 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,639 tonight and every weekday night. Bob Bailey, in the Transcribed Adventures of the 37 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:37,560 Man with the Action Pact EXPENSCCOUD, America's Fabulous freelance insurance investigator has truly Johnny 38 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:54,199 Dollar. From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the home office Great Plans Guarantee Company, 39 00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:59,520 Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation 40 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:05,400 of the open town matter. I'm one eighty four dollars and sixty cents transportation 41 00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:10,840 in Incineto's Hartford to green Sport and taxi to the townhouse hotel. I was 42 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:14,000 hoping for a chance to shower and change, look around long enough to get 43 00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:16,839 my bearings and then edge into the case gradually, but it didn't work out 44 00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:19,720 that way. The case was already there and waiting for me, right in 45 00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:24,040 the lobby of the hotel, all dressed up in a shiny black suit, 46 00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:28,279 squeaky black shoes, and aneath of the neat little black bulls eye. Oh 47 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,319 am, I glad to see you, mister Dollar. Are you Oh indeed, 48 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,000 yes I am. I just be the great big sigh relief. You 49 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,560 know when I heard you tell the clerk your name, that's how I know 50 00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:39,319 your you? You know you mean, there's been some doubts, but of 51 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,439 course you'll want to know. I mean, so I'll swear I had a 52 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,680 card in one of these pockets. Well maybe you could just tell me who 53 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,079 you are, mister Potzer, April P. Potza. I ought to have 54 00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:50,040 a card though, to make it more official. Well, never mind, 55 00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:53,240 I believe you. I must have given them all away. Don't worry, 56 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,439 though, I'll get some more printed to see that you have one before you 57 00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:57,839 leave. Wow. Thanks a lot, mister Potza. And now I wait, 58 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,680 mister Dollar. You want to talk to me, of course? Well, 59 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,160 yes, I'm the agent here for the Great Plains Guarantee Company. I'm 60 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,160 the one that sold that policy to the full of it's dead. Oh so 61 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,120 that's it, of course he wasn't dead. Then you understand I'm glad to 62 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,560 hear it. Feeling pretty lively as a matter of fact. But with a 63 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,839 new young wife and all that, I imagine so and not just a dollar. 64 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,879 You've got to do something about that woman. H oh, she's driving 65 00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:23,720 me crazy. She wants her money, she says, fifty thousand dollars, 66 00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:27,240 and she seems to think I'm carrying it around in my pocket. She's kind 67 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,879 of anxioush I'll tell you how anxious. Chief Blake was shot about two in 68 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,079 the morning, and at three that afternoon, Marty, that's missus Blake was 69 00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:36,079 down at my office after a claim form. Yeah, I understand it was 70 00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:40,120 sent Airmil's special delivery, but she insisted on it, made me take it 71 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,600 straight to the post office as soon as she'd signed it. Pretty cold blooded 72 00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:46,600 about it. Well, I've heard Marty Blake called a lot of different things 73 00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:51,199 in this town at different times, but never cold blooded. You follow me, 74 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,600 I think I'm ahead of you. You know what I mean? Alright, 75 00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:59,839 when you meet her? I can Harley wait man oh man, wow, 76 00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:10,000 it am two a dollar and fifteen cents taxi to the suburban home of 77 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,560 Edgar Blake, former chief of Police of Greensport, now deceased. On the 78 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,160 strength of Patzi's description of the widow, I added a shave to the shower 79 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,759 and change, and I hoped I looked a little fresher than I felt. 80 00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:27,759 The house was a rambling two story job, set back from the street, 81 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,639 well kept shrubbery, nice, long, quiet neighborhood, and plenty expensive. 82 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,800 I wondered how Blake had been able to afford it. I was halfway up 83 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,920 the walk when a man came out the front door. He wavered down the 84 00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:43,120 steps, then stopped and waited for me, rocking slightly on his heels. 85 00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:47,759 A copper, I can tell him, A block away here, A copper 86 00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:53,759 right? Wrong, private eye? Maybe no insurance, investigator, insurance. 87 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,639 That's what I just asked her about. And you know what she did. 88 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,240 I'll threw you out, probably right, said I was drunk. Yes, 89 00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:02,720 that's exactly what I said. Ridiculous, I told her, ridiculous. But 90 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,279 do you know something she was right? I am no. I can hardly 91 00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:09,800 believe it. What's the fact, though, at least a little bit? 92 00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:15,079 Miame's Craley, Joe Craley. I'm a reporter Greensport Daily. Harold Johnny Dwyhy 93 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,439 had Joe insurance? Huh? And he did have some Well, you wouldn't 94 00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:24,040 have had any reason to be here. She was lying, no coming. 95 00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:27,560 Who's a beneficiary? It's still no coming. It's her, of course, 96 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,680 a little smarty Marty is ever love a little wife? How much is she 97 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,560 going to make on the deal? Sorry, Joe? No comments? I 98 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,000 love it? Oh? Wait a minute to tell me something, Joe. 99 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,040 Suppose I want a little action. Wanted to get into a poker game while 100 00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:46,959 I'm here, find a crap table? Maybe any idea where I could go? 101 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:53,160 Sure? Any one? A half a dozen different How long you been 102 00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:56,759 in town, Johnny? About an hour? You're wives it up pretty fast, 103 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,720 didn't you. I didn't know what's a secret. The town is wide 104 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,439 open, isn't it? It is? But I wouldn't go around poking the 105 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,160 things if I were you. A guy could get hurt. You see what 106 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,000 I mean? Maybe a guy did get hurt. Blake, Kimmy, what 107 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,279 makes you think so? Well? If somebody wanted to keep the rackets going, 108 00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:18,240 the police chief would be a natural target, wouldn't he not necessarily? 109 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,600 Mean? No comment? What was Blake? Sorry? Joe? Six thousand 110 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:26,480 A year on six thousand, he was living in a house like this way 111 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,559 to see mighty, she's even more expensive. So that's why Greensport is wide 112 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:39,039 open. The police chief was in no comment. Well he's out now, 113 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:43,159 that's for sure. Uh, Joe, I'll probably be talking to you later. 114 00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:46,919 Yeah, yeah, I do that. Just ask anybody. Joe Craley, 115 00:08:46,000 --> 00:09:01,399 the alcoholic that works for the Herald. I'm always around somewhere. Well, 116 00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:05,399 how do you do, missus Gregg? Yes? What can I do? 117 00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:09,159 Johnny Dollar? I'm representing the insurance company. Oh, come in, 118 00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:13,279 mister Dollar, you come this way. I'm a little surprised, really, 119 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,080 I highly expected them to pay off so promptly. In that case, you 120 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,559 won't be too disappointed. Disappointed? What do you mean? I mean? 121 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,080 I didn't come here to pay you anything? Then why did you come? 122 00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:28,919 I'm a special investigator, missus Blake. What does that mean? The company 123 00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:31,799 would like a little more information about your husband's death. I told them all 124 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,399 about it and the claim I sent to you. I know, but sometimes 125 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,639 it's necessarily that's the pitch they're trying to squirm out of it. Why do 126 00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:41,480 you say that? Because they sent you here, that's why. And because 127 00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:46,480 they always. Do I know how those companies operate? You've had experience with 128 00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:50,919 them before? No, I haven't. But I'm a real smart girl, 129 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,279 mister dollar, and I know a fast shuffle when I see it coming. 130 00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:56,720 And a smart girl ought to know better than to yell before she's hurt. 131 00:09:56,919 --> 00:10:01,120 Why else would they send out a special investor? I told you why? 132 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,080 They want some more information? What information? What is it? They want 133 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,360 to know the details? That's all exactly how your husband was killed. I 134 00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:09,279 told them all that in the claim. He was shocked to death with his 135 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:16,120 own gun, right here in his own house. Do you mind showing me 136 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:20,159 how it happened? Oh? For the love, Look, there won't be 137 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,000 any payment U until I file my report, missus blake, all right? 138 00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:28,679 You win. When you go after something, you really go after it, 139 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,879 don't you. That's what I get paid for. Oh and what about something 140 00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:39,759 you personally wanted? Well, that would depend on how bad I wanted it. 141 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,279 I see, Would you like a drink? No? No, no 142 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:52,279 thanks? You won't mind if I have one? Right ahead? Looking at 143 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,240 you right now? If you wouldn't mind me? Yeah, I stick to 144 00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:05,600 business, all right? Come on? Happened over here by the stairway. 145 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,960 I see right here. This is where he fell. This is where he 146 00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:13,679 died. His gun was lying on the floor beside him. Middle of the 147 00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:16,480 night. Wasn't about two in the morning. We'd been asleep. Why did 148 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,159 he come downstairs? I heard a noise of some kind. It woke me 149 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,679 up. I shook ed and told him about it, and he came down 150 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,559 to see what it was. He was armed. No, his gun was 151 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,759 there on the hall table by the front door. Is that where he usually 152 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:30,679 left it? Yes, whenever he came home he always took it off and 153 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,919 put it there on the table. Then anyone who knew him would probably know 154 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,840 they could find it there. Yes, I suppose so. All right, 155 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,960 So what happened? Like I said, it went on downstairs and I walked 156 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,679 out of the bedroom of the hall. Were there any lights on? Not 157 00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:48,919 down here? I turned on the hall light upstairs. Did you hear your 158 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,000 husband say anything? No? All I heard was the shots, four or 159 00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:54,279 five of them. Then I heard someone run out the front door, and 160 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,600 what did you do? I caught out to d but he didn't answer, 161 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,559 and I ran downstairs and found him lying here dead. Did you get to 162 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,519 look at the prowler? Or whoever it was. No, it was too 163 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,759 dark, and he ran out as soon as he fired the shots. How 164 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:11,639 did he get into the house, The detective said, he forced the lock 165 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,600 on the front door. I guess that was the sound that woke me up, 166 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,159 and then he used a gun that was inside the house that he may 167 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:22,720 or may not have known was inside the house. That's what the police figure, 168 00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:26,960 all right, What do you figure, missus Blake, the same thing? 169 00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:30,919 I guess I don't know any more about it than they do. I 170 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:37,720 thought you might have some theory of your own. I string along with them. 171 00:12:37,759 --> 00:12:41,480 Just an accidental prowler who got panicky and snatched up a gun that happened 172 00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:46,159 to be lying around handy. I guess that's about it, any idead all 173 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,960 who the problem might have been, of course not? You suppose it could 174 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,759 have been somebody besides the prowler, somebody who came here for the express purpose 175 00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:58,399 of murdering your husband and had a lot of enemies, of course, because 176 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,919 of his job. What about his friends, Missus Blake, What do you 177 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,480 mean? Do you suppose one of his friends could have done it? I 178 00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:11,600 don't know what you're talking about. I've been admiring your watch, real nice, 179 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,960 seven diamonds emerald band must be worth around two thousand dollars. Very nice. 180 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:22,679 Well, thank you ms House the furniture. That car out there on 181 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:31,200 the driveway on a police chief salary, Missus Blake, I wouldn't know anything 182 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,120 about Ed's financial affairs. Who runs the rackets here in Greensport? What rackets? 183 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,000 Mister Dollar? Was your husband and on them? Sure you won't have 184 00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:45,279 that drink? All right, Missus Blake, play it your way. I 185 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,679 thought the insurance company was probably convinced that I was the one who killed him. 186 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,360 They're not convinced of anything yet, but they think I did it, 187 00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:54,480 don't they? No, but they think twenty four hours is pretty fast for 188 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,679 a grief stricken widow to shoot a claim into the office. I am not 189 00:13:56,879 --> 00:14:01,519 grief stricken, mister Dollar, So I noticed. Do I have to be? 190 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,120 Is there some clause in the policy? No, you don't have to 191 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,039 be. You think I did it, don't you. I think there's a 192 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,399 strong chance you did. Then I think you need a little straightening out. 193 00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:18,399 Why should I make it easy for you? Go see Dave Sherman. Talk 194 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,159 to him, Dave Sherman, the city attorney. See what he says, 195 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,840 before you get all lathered up. See if he thinks I'm guilty, all 196 00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:30,879 right, I will, and then we'll talk, and if you're nice enough 197 00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:54,919 to me, maybe I'll even cooperate. You never know, do you Dollar? 198 00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:58,360 This is Dave Sherman, mister attorney. Oh, yes, I'm trying 199 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:01,960 to reach you. Sherman. Yes, so my office tells me it's the 200 00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:05,759 Ed Blake case. I suppose that's right. Well, I've already told my 201 00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:07,840 secretary to make all the records of it. It's not the records I'm mainly 202 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,919 interested in, mister Sherman. I want to talk to you personally. Why 203 00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:15,600 Because I've been informed that you were able to furnish an alibi for my number 204 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,200 one suspect, Marty Blake. That's right, who informed you, mister Dollar? 205 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:26,039 Mighty Blake A lovely right. Well, I guess we'd better have a 206 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,320 talk. That's exactly what I was thinking. Yes, if you're dead set 207 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,840 on lighting a fuse in this town, I may as well give you some 208 00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:50,200 matches. Come on over to the courthous from Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, location, 209 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,159 Greensport, Missouri to the home office Great Plains Guaranty Company, Hartford, 210 00:15:54,159 --> 00:16:04,159 Connecticut assignment. The open town matter expense account continued Items five and six seventy 211 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,399 cents. A copy of the Greensport Daily Herald and the taxi fair to city 212 00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:12,600 Hall. I opened the paper and glanced over the headlines murder of police chiefs 213 00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:18,879 still unsolved. City Attorney's office claims new evidence. Mayor Lyons demands action. 214 00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:23,799 I could feel for the mayor. My client stood to lose fifty thousand dollars 215 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,600 life insurance payable to the dead police chief's widow, Marty Blake. So I 216 00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:30,919 wanted action too, and I was hoping to get it from City Attorney Dave 217 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:41,200 Sherman. Come in, mister dollars, I want to see. Thanks. 218 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:47,399 Why did you get in town oh earlier this afternoon and you've already met Marty 219 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,600 Blake. That figure is yes, it does under the circumstances. Her husband 220 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,320 has been killed. He carried fifty thousand dollars worth of insurance with my company, 221 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,559 and missus Blake filed her claim less than twenty four hours after his death. 222 00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:03,519 So that's why you hot footed it out here from Hartford. Well, 223 00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:07,799 the company figured twenty four hours. It's pretty fast action for a grief stricken 224 00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:12,680 widow. I don't imagine Marty is grieving too much. Oh she's not. 225 00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:18,680 She told me that herself. Marty's about twenty six or seven. Ed Blake 226 00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:22,559 was in his fifties. Money maybe, well not until he met her. 227 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,880 Then he started to make it fast. He had to do it. So 228 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:29,519 Marty likes things fast, and then he married it. Well, then she 229 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,160 married him, and now eight months later she's a widow with an insurance claim 230 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,720 for fifty thousand dollars. Well, she said she liked things fast. Why, 231 00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:41,799 I know what you're thinking, mister dollar, but you may as well 232 00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:45,759 back up and start all over. You're off on the wrong foot. Or 233 00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:51,079 how do you mean this killing? Oh? Sure it worked out perfect for 234 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,200 and made to order. A man could build a pretty good case against her, 235 00:17:53,319 --> 00:17:57,640 especially with that twenty four hour insurance claim. Yes, that would really 236 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,599 sent it with A jury pointed that out to her. I figured, as 237 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,599 much, would you mind telling me what happened? Well, her first move 238 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,680 was to start turning on the charm. That's one of the easiest things she 239 00:18:10,759 --> 00:18:15,319 does if she thinks it might pay off, and after all, worth fifty 240 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,599 thousand dollars in the office. Sure did she give you any of the details 241 00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:23,640 you know of the night it happened. It bored her to death to even 242 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,200 talk about it, And you thought she was putting on an act. Who 243 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,920 maybe throw you off? What would you think? Oh, she wasn't, 244 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:36,039 mister Dollar anymore than she was sorry that Ed Blake was murdered. Then she's 245 00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:40,200 pretty cold blooded. Well that's some odd question. Figuratively, yes, I 246 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,240 suppose she is. See, she used to be an answer, never good 247 00:18:44,319 --> 00:18:48,480 enough to make the big time, so she had to well live by our 248 00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:52,480 wits and her charm. But you pointed out things that could look pretty black 249 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:56,000 for if the case ever got to court. That's right. What happened? 250 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,920 She said me to you? Why so I could tell you she didn't kill 251 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,359 him? Well, it adds up, mister Sharon. I know, its 252 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,960 late at night, the two of them alone in the house, her husband 253 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,640 shot to death with his own guy, I know, mister Dollar, but 254 00:19:08,759 --> 00:19:12,359 not by her. Why not? That story about the mysterious prowler has been 255 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,240 used before, over and over. Matter of fact, I broke one of 256 00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:18,599 them not six months ago. But in this case it's true. How do 257 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,039 you know? Because you were wrong on one point. They weren't alone in 258 00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:27,400 the house. What do you mean, who else was there? I was? 259 00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:36,720 Oh, I see Jesus pure as the driven snow. Well, at 260 00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:38,599 least so far as Blake's murderer is concerned. Yeah. Kind of a neat 261 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,440 setup, isn't it. Huh, instead of prosecuting attorney or the star witness 262 00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:47,880 for the defense. Yes, I support if it came to that, I'd 263 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,279 have to be. I was there when it happened, So that's why she 264 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,960 sent me to you, so I could hear it straight from the horse's mouth. 265 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,559 That's about it. Well, she couldn't have a much better alibi than 266 00:19:57,559 --> 00:20:02,880 the city attorney himself, thank you. Or she's in the clear, mister 267 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,200 Dollon. How did you happen to be there at two o'clock in the morning. 268 00:20:06,319 --> 00:20:08,200 I was spending the night. Ed and I were planning to leave early 269 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,240 on a fishing trip. Oh, I see, like to tell me all 270 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:17,839 about it? Certainly we'd all gone to better on midnight. It was a 271 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,799 few minutes before too. I woke up. I heard Marty and it out 272 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:23,359 in the hall just outside my room. I opened my door, and just 273 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,920 then Marty snapped on the hall lights. A second later, the shots blasted 274 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,720 downstairs. Five quickly. Where was she standing at the time, by the 275 00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:33,480 door of her room, not ten feet away from me? So you see, 276 00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:40,240 mister Dollar, she couldn't have done it. So that's that she can 277 00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:42,240 thank her lucky stars. You were there. Oh, Marty's always been lucky. 278 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,559 Have you known her a long time? Three or four years? Ever 279 00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:51,240 since she came here to Green Sport? You and Blake were pretty good friends, 280 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,119 I suppose No. As a matter of fact, we didn't have too 281 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,799 much use for each other. Oh, I know it doesn't make sense going 282 00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:03,319 fishing together and the night in his home. But well, I know what 283 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,640 you're thinking, mister Dollar, do you Yes, you're thinking maybe I need 284 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,119 an alibi as much as Marty does. Well, it is that kind of 285 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,279 an alibi. It works equally well for either of you too. Now, 286 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,839 only I don't need an alibi. Blake and I had our little differences, 287 00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:19,960 that's true, but they weren't serious enough to be a motive for killing him. 288 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,559 Maybe Marty yourself could be a motive in what way? How old are 289 00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:30,119 you, mister Sherman? Thirty three? Why? And Marty Blake is twenty 290 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,880 seven and a beautiful girl. Her husband was around fifty two. Wrong. 291 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,640 Guess again, mister dollar. I've known her too long, and what's more 292 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,359 important, I know it too well. Meaning. Sure, she's a knockout. 293 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:47,599 I was nuts about her once. She's a my summer night wild honeysuckle 294 00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:49,480 and a handful of stars. But there's one great, big catch to it, 295 00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,359 and that is she's got a building jukebox hidden way inside of her, 296 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,400 and when you put in money, it plays real pretty music. When you 297 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:02,559 don't nothing. Had Blake found out and still went on putting in money? 298 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,720 You liked the music, and that's why he got mixed up in the rackets? 299 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,079 Please cheef Salary was well, well, mister Dollar, you do get 300 00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:14,799 around, don't you. Was Blake running them or just taking on? Now? 301 00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:17,480 What makes you think there are any rackets here? Maybe it was just 302 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,640 a guess who told you about them? It's funny I can't seem to remember 303 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,039 at the moment. I just bet you can't. Suppose you answered my question, 304 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,359 mister Sherman, who's behind the rackets here in Green Sports? Just a 305 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,920 minute is from? Or was he the one who gave me wait a minute, 306 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,680 mister dollar, just take it ease. Gave I wonder if you'd mind 307 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,559 going over that report on. Oh sorry, I didn't know you had. 308 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,960 No, it's all right. Well, come onney, this is Johnny Dollar. 309 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:48,119 Dollar's may allons a dollar, mister Dollars, an insurance investigator. Will 310 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,200 he's here to look into Ed Blake's death. Terrible tragedy, mister Dollar. 311 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,680 We'd appreciate all the help you can give us. Well, so far, 312 00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:56,960 Mayor, I'm afraid that doesn't mount to very much. The only theory I 313 00:22:56,039 --> 00:23:00,160 had just blew up in my face. Oh what was this, mister Dollars 314 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,599 suspected Martin Blake of the killing. Well, Dave, didn't you tell him 315 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,599 that you? Yes, yes, he told me, may Er. That's 316 00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:10,839 when I blow up in my face. Well, at various times in the 317 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,319 past, Missus Blake might have been there's, one might say, a bit 318 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,759 indiscreet, but to consider her capable of cold blooded murder is utterly unthinkable, 319 00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:22,079 sir, particularly when she was standing just ten feet away from the city attorney 320 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,960 at the time. Well, yes, that's true, of course. Just 321 00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:29,160 what is the official theory on the shooting, gentleman. Well, at the 322 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,880 moment, I'm afraid we haven't any. I'll tell you, mister Doller, 323 00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:36,960 when we find Shorty Wells, we'll have the killer. Shorty Wells, a 324 00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:40,359 local hoodlum. Blake got him sent up the river a couple of years ago, 325 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,160 and Shorty swore that he'd get Blake for it if it was the last 326 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,359 thing that he ever did. Oh well, now that's a fairly common threat 327 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,799 to offer a criminal to make, and usually it's nothing but talk. But 328 00:23:48,839 --> 00:23:52,119 Shorty was pro just last week, mister Doller. He was seen around town 329 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,200 the morning before the killing, and we haven't been able to locate him since. 330 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,079 I see Wells did it all right? There's not the least doubt in 331 00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:02,000 the world. Yeah, it seems to add up, doesn't he Yes, 332 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,440 And we've got every available man. I'm a lookout for him, but so 333 00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:06,720 far, no luck. There's not even a trace of him. Tell me 334 00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:10,279 something, Mayor would mighty Blake know anything about the rackets? Her husband was 335 00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:14,519 tied in with rackets? Why that's the most pretty well, well, it's 336 00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:18,240 no use. Mister Dollar has been talking to somebody and he's found out that 337 00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:22,119 our little city isn't as lily white as we'd like to pretend. Indeed, 338 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,920 it's true, isn't it. May As I hear at Greensport is a wide 339 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,160 open town as well admitted will he knows it already. There's no point in 340 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,039 trying to lie on man. All right, it's true, mister Dollar, 341 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,519 but it's not wide open as you put it. But there are rackets, 342 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,359 as unpleasant as it may be to admit it. Do you have any idea 343 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,960 who's back of them? I wish to have an idea. What about you, 344 00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:47,039 mister Sherman. If I had an idea strong enough to talk about, 345 00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:49,119 I'd be talking about it in court. What about this Shorty Wells? Was 346 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,839 he in on them before Blake sent him to prison? Yes, supposedly, 347 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,640 but he wouldn't spill a word about the setup at his trial. Afraid you 348 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,839 maybe? Huh? Probably Wells is the key to this whole thing, mister 349 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,200 Dollar, the rackets as well as the killing. Find Shorty Wells and we 350 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,359 could wrap this thing up in ten minutes. Then I guess we better find 351 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:15,519 him. Standard theory number two, A next convict with a grudge. Number 352 00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:18,279 one young pretty wife, middle aged husband. Big insurance policy hadn't panned out 353 00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:22,079 too well, and I wasn't too sold on the second one. It was 354 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,839 just two pats somehow, and the fact that Shorty Wells was missing didn't mean 355 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,279 much. If I were an next Cohn just out of prison and had threatened 356 00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:33,759 a man who was later murdered, I'd be missing too. And yet the 357 00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:37,640 penancy was sometimes the right one. The case was still, like the town 358 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,480 itself, wide open. I walked out of City Hall, started down the 359 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,440 sidewalk toward the taxi stand. I didn't know what move to try next. 360 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,119 Technically, of course, I was out of it, since the beneficiary had 361 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,160 an ironclad alibi and she'd get paid regardless of who actually did kill Blake. 362 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,480 I didn't pay any attention to the horn the first time, but when it 363 00:25:56,599 --> 00:26:00,720 sounded again, I turned to look part of the curb a few yards away. 364 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,240 Whydy Blake. I've been waiting for you, Johnny, have you yes? 365 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,079 I wanted to talk to you. You didn't earlier. Well, I 366 00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:15,200 guess you just rubbed me the wrong way. You weren't very nice to me, 367 00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:18,799 you know. Sorry, you've talked to Dave Sherman. I suppose, 368 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,880 yep, yep, it gives you an airtine alibi. Why didn't you tell 369 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,000 me he was there that night when I talked with you? This afternoon? 370 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:32,119 I might have if you'd been nicer to me. I see you'd have checked 371 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,400 it with him anyway. Yeah, I suppose I would have done well. 372 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,839 Now that you know I'm not a murderess, maybe we can get to be 373 00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:42,359 friends, Johnny. I think so. You're still not being very nice. 374 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,480 I am always politely respectful toward new widows, Missus Blake, at least until 375 00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:52,960 after the first week. I told you I didn't care about Ed. Who 376 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,759 do you care about besides yourself, Shorty Wells? By any chance, Shorty 377 00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:00,200 Wells? Who told you that? And you know I'm of course I know 378 00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:03,920 him? Is I used to know him? Where he now? How should 379 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,480 I know? What are you trying to pull? If you think for one 380 00:27:07,519 --> 00:27:12,880 minute the jury get out quick? Are you all right, missus Blake? 381 00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:18,519 Yes, I guess so. Shots, Johnny, somebody was trying to kill 382 00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:22,200 you. I didn't know it was me that were shooting at Maybe they were 383 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:38,680 out to kill you, Missus Blake. Now here's our star to tell you 384 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,440 about tomorrow's episode of this week's story. Tomorrow, an old flame and a 385 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:47,920 new one, and two men get burned. One becomes an alcoholic, the 386 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:55,839 other a human torch. Join us won't you Yours Truly? Johnny Dawnard Yours 387 00:27:55,839 --> 00:27:59,680 Truly Johnny Dollar is starring Bob Bailey, is transcribed in Hollywood. Written by 388 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,160 less Field, It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Be sure to 389 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,599 join us tomorrow night at the same time in Station for the next exciting episode 390 00:28:06,640 --> 00:29:10,920 of Yours True Me Johnny Dollar, Roy Rowan speaking Welcome back. A very 391 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,720 dramatic into the first two episodes as someone wants somebody dad. Of course, 392 00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:21,559 Johnny's not out of the case. We have seen him hang around so many 393 00:29:21,599 --> 00:29:26,920 cases with far less plausible insurance reasons to stay on. In fact, the 394 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:33,680 fact that Marty didn't pull the trigger doesn't exonerator, particularly with her turning on 395 00:29:33,799 --> 00:29:40,160 the lot and that key moment before the prowler shot her husband. Marty is 396 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,720 also learning that just because she didn't pull the trigger doesn't put her in good 397 00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:52,240 standing with Johnny or endear her to him. I think there are some radio 398 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:59,279 detectives who might go for a mirrory widow wants that Widow is exonerated, like 399 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,119 some versions of the Falcon, But I think Johnny finds her distasteful and knows 400 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:11,279 she's trouble. It was interesting to have Johnny reference a case where he solved 401 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,119 a thought it was a Prowler case. Of course, he was referencing the 402 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:22,400 Quebono matter. It's a small reminder of how Jack Johnstone really has introduced a 403 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,119 sense of continuity into the series. Well, now we turn to listener comments 404 00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:32,960 and feedback, and we start out with an email from Jonathan, who is 405 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:37,240 a Master Detective supporter of the podcast on Patreon. He writes, Hello, 406 00:30:37,319 --> 00:30:42,079 Adam, this episode took place near where I currently live in Laughlin, Nevada. 407 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,720 Our town didn't exist when the episode was written, but everything else is 408 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,359 just right on the nose, and I should mention that this is referencing the 409 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,759 Midas Touch matter. It was really great to hear the accuracy of Kingman, 410 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,039 Arizona, and Lake Mohavey and the Davis Dam, which is actually just a 411 00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:06,200 few miles from where I live. Kingman about forty miles nor still does have 412 00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:11,000 most of the good hospitals in the area, and Lake Mahavey still has fishermen 413 00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:14,839 pulling bass out of the water. In the last few years, it has 414 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,519 gotten much busier since the Meads level has dropped. All the dirt roads and 415 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:25,759 Kingmen are well paved. Of course, people still walk around dressed like cowboys 416 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:30,240 too. I will interject on that point, Jonathan, and say that that 417 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:37,400 is something that is very common throughout the small town west, even going up 418 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,200 to where I used to live in Montana, and I always found it amusing 419 00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:47,680 that at least where I lived, the folks most likely to go in for 420 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,920 that western look tended to be the people who were from back east. All 421 00:31:52,039 --> 00:32:00,599 right. Back to Jonathan's email, Jonathan continues on and he writes, Johnny 422 00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:04,599 would have had the time of his life here fishing all day, gambling and 423 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,880 drinking at night, and staying in a hotel room with a view of the 424 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,559 Colorado River. One thing that really is interesting is that the gold mines have 425 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,720 started up again. Really, there are plenty of good pay jobs for people 426 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:21,599 who want to work out in the mountains. Also up there are turquoise silver 427 00:32:21,799 --> 00:32:25,200 and other oars. Hard luck Dennis would be good luck Dennis unless he spent 428 00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:30,720 too much time in and out of the casinos down here in Laughlin. Thanks 429 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,039 again for your show. It is my daily indulgence, even more than coffee. 430 00:32:35,079 --> 00:32:38,759 Well, thank you so much, Jonathan, and I appreciate getting those 431 00:32:38,839 --> 00:32:45,759 sort of real life reports when old time radio programs are set in real places, 432 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:52,160 and it really is just a treat to hear a place where you grew 433 00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:59,400 up, for where you've spent time or live Portrade in the golden age of 434 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:05,200 radio as how it was, or at least how it was imagined by radio 435 00:33:05,359 --> 00:33:09,319 riders of the time. It only happened to me once with a Bob Reddick 436 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:15,960 Johnny Doller story that was set in a portion of Montana that I actually grew 437 00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:21,160 up in until I was four, and with reference to places that I'd lived 438 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,400 at in the years since, And you know, I talked to my mom 439 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:30,519 about it, and it was it was just really fun to hear. And 440 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:37,279 the nast thing with Jonathan is that there are so many like mohave mysteries and 441 00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:40,680 adventures ahead, and who knows we may hear from him on some of those 442 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,119 down the line. I really appreciated this email. Then we turned to YouTube 443 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:52,319 where Slake rots it's a good thing Johnny is in insurance. His medical bills 444 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:58,720 must be astronomical, and this was regarding the scene in Long Shot Matter where 445 00:33:58,759 --> 00:34:06,480 he got beat up. Mostly Johnny is heard expensing his all the medical expenses, 446 00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:10,559 so he doesn't pay them. Whether he's got a personal hospital policy, 447 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,920 we don't know. I will say that when Johnny does put his medical bills 448 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:22,880 on the expense account, the total seem kind of low, even adjusting for 449 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:30,039 inflation, because even though we talk about inflation is like this sort of broad 450 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:36,559 index, some expenses have gone up far more than others, and certainly for 451 00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:43,159 various reasons that people have been debating for decades. Because of medical care has 452 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,760 gone up at a much higher rate of inflation than many other areas of the 453 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:54,239 economy. Dave says Johnny Dollar is definitely my favorite detective radio series. I 454 00:34:54,280 --> 00:35:00,880 listen to everything, but the Johnny Dollar series is the best. And then 455 00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:10,599 we have a couple of reviews on Apple podcast Uss Miller writes regarding our Johnny 456 00:35:10,599 --> 00:35:17,480 Dollar feed love them all the episodes, especially the multi ones. And then 457 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,559 we have a review from Silly Nilly Why, who writes I gave it five 458 00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:28,039 out of five because of everything, even the accents are amazing. Well, 459 00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:31,440 thank you so much. I appreciate you taking the time to review us there 460 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:37,199 on Apple Podcasts.

Where that's up, Steve. 470 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,559 I just had a peek at a payoff Anna Crenco. Yeah, for 471 00:36:22,679 --> 00:36:25,719 services rendered. It's got something to do with Sergeant Polson, that's for sure. 472 00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:30,559 I heard Rudy tell Anna he was going to a place called Bernagi. 473 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,599 Bernagi, Well, that's a town just over the border in Hungary. It's 474 00:36:34,599 --> 00:36:37,199 only a few miles from the mine. He said something about a big demonstration. 475 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,360 Sure, sure it figures. The big build up, beating of the 476 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:44,239 drums, torchlight parade, the works, all very anti United States of course, 477 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,599 Buck Major. I'd like to take in that little sarri across the border. 478 00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:50,000 Can you arrange it? Sure? I can put you in contact with 479 00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:52,639 someone.
