Dear Justice Benjamin. My relationship with 33 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,719 the spending little man goes clear back to a week ago Thursday, possibly even 34 00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:38,120 before that, but that was the day I first noticed him. I remember 35 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,759 it was Thursday because I was having corn beef and cabbage at Schroders with him. 36 00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:44,479 It was a glass of water at the next table. He was paying 37 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,919 little mind to the menu, having decided to spend the lunch hour staring at 38 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,879 me. A couple of times, he put down his glass of water and 39 00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:53,479 pushed back his chairs if you were going to come over and talk, but 40 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:57,120 he changed his mind. I put away the corn beef and cabbage and was 41 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,400 halfway past the pie when he finally did it. Excuse me, sir, 42 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:08,319 Hello you, sir, I'm mister Speed. I am the detective Sam Spade 43 00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:14,120 Detective Agents at your service.

On Friday, I saw him in Ben's 46 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,800 grotto over a plate of wrecked soul. We got just about as far. 47 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,879 Then he returned the match she Over the following week I saw him four times, 48 00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:34,600 once as I was going into a show, once at the post office, 49 00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:38,720 and twice as I was going into my office building. Each was the 50 00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:40,959 same. We get up to the point where he was about to tell me 51 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,879 something. Then he backed down and asked me what time it was, or 52 00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:46,600 did I have a horse in the fifth at Golden Gate, or would I 53 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,120 lend him a cigarette?

Hello, mister Spinley. 68 00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:57,920 Hello. It almost seemed as if you were in earnest this time, so 69 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,720 I didn't hang up. I hustled down the hall to the next office, 70 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,519 found another pole and sweet talked to supervisor, and there tracing down mister Spinley. 71 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,120 It was a pay booth in a drug store opposite the Park Emergency Hospital. 72 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,839 The quirk in the drug store was just getting over it when I punched 73 00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:14,360 in. Spindley had collapsed in the booth and had been hauled across the street 74 00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:18,240 to the hospital. On the bed there. Oh thanks, doctor, life 75 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,600 and death straight terrible. You gotta stop it. He's been mutering like that 76 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:28,600 ever since we brought him in. Hop hunh the legal kind you see before 77 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,279 you an overdose of sleeping tablet. I mean he trying to kill himself. 78 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:33,480 I can't think of an easy way. Anyone could feed him two full bottles? 79 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,920 Can you pull through? Probably he gave him a good pumping. Don't 80 00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:43,839 let don't do now, mister do don't carry on? So but I don't. 81 00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:46,439 Didn't you stop? Right? All right? I know who is to 82 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,040 get easy. He's got a lot of strength for a little guy, mister 83 00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:54,920 Doe. No name, nothing to identify him. Funny thing, man, 84 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,519 What do you need? I almost guarantee the man's undernourished, hasn't eaten for 85 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,600 days, shabby clothes and so on.

Huh, Only an actor would 98 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,879 think more of an exit line than an innocent man's neck. You mean you 99 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,600 believe. I don't know what I believe. The guy's been trailing me for 100 00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:15,519 ten days, driving himself nuts, trying to knock himself off. It's a 101 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,160 sin. She believes it. There's no chance of bringing him around before tomorrow 102 00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:22,839 and saying Willie Johnson dies tonight. So what happens? So I'm stuck for 103 00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:39,600 taxi fair to san Quentin. Believe in him. Believe in Willie Johnsen. 104 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,440 Yeah, I know you're his lawyer, mister Grayson. I'm his lawyer because 105 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,519 I volunteered to say you, mister Spade, I've been in the law a 106 00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:48,960 long long time. I've defended a lot of phonies. Sometimes you've got you 107 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,840 if you want to eat. They all sing the same song. I was 108 00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:54,799 framed. Oh, I know all eighty nine verses. But Willie, Yeah, 109 00:08:56,759 --> 00:09:01,559 Willie's song is different because Willie Johnson is an innocent man. Will he 110 00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:07,840 was fraimed. Four appeals, four appeals, false stays, and we've had 111 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,799 our less one. It's folded up in our spade. I'm going to take 112 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,720 the walk with him at midnight. So do something for me, will you 113 00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:24,399 sure? When when you walk into a cell, remember you're talking to a 114 00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:28,639 man who's going to die in less than eight hours. We're trying to we're 115 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,399 trying to build his spirit up so he can go out with colors flying. 116 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,200 You know, don't give him a lot of false hope, Spade, because 117 00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:54,679 because there isn't any I don't quite understand, mister Spade. So I told 118 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,200 my story so many times. I like to write something about it for the 119 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,159 papers. Willie, Oh, yes, sir, all the newspaper gentlemen, 120 00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:05,679 didn't you I'm gone? I know? Could you tell her? Just one 121 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,279 smile? Well, well, all right, sir, it's more than a 122 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,360 year ago. I guess you know that. Yeah. I was broke. 123 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,879 You know, things hadn't been going so well, sir. I was down 124 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:18,200 in my last two bits. At night, I walked into Shery Duggin's. 125 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,200 That's a bar in the wonderf Yes, sir, I got to talking with 126 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,000 a fella sitting at the bar there. He bought me bare who is he? 127 00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:30,240 I never did find his name. I ain't seen him since that night. 128 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,480 If I could find him, I don't reckon I'd be where I am. 129 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,639 So he had a paper with him, was reading the classified ad section, 130 00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:41,919 you know, the part about Otto's transportation so on. You know, 131 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,320 Well there was an ad there. I'd say, well, pay five hundred 132 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,960 dollars plus expense to drive car to Mexico City with a phone number. And 133 00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:52,960 the fella said that he were in my shoes, he'd call up and quiet 134 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,639 so I did. I'm quieter when I got the job. Well, sir, 135 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,879 About an hour later I met a man with a car, a Suthern 136 00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:05,480 Mason, by the gas station there, and he gave me the five hundred 137 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,960 and I start out for Mexico City. It wasn't really never found his name, 138 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,720 Peter. We tried to mister Grayson me. Never could find him. 139 00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:20,120 I see, well, it was raining that night, sir. I remember 140 00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:26,000 raining, and I hadn't gotten more than fifty miles south of town, somewhere 141 00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,480 around Morgan Hill. It was when Syene blew off behind me, and the 142 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,919 first thing I knew where they was asking the questions about a girl, a 143 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,559 girl named Georgia Lyon. It was her car, it seems, and the 144 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,279 officer claim I stole it, and they made me raise my arms, and 145 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,320 they they searched me, and there was a knife in my pocket. You 146 00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:48,639 see what was blood on it. I don't know how it got there. 147 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,720 And the five hundred dollars that had blood on it too, and there was 148 00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:56,080 blood on the seat. And when they opened the turtle back there she was 149 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,360 this Georgia line. I told you all double up there dead, and they 150 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,440 said, I've done it for the money in the corner. I guess I 151 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:09,240 just went crazy, mister Spade with her with this whole coming at me once 152 00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:11,360 that way, You see, I tried to make a break for it, 153 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,360 and I got away, and I knew it was a terrible wrong thing to 154 00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:20,000 do. I know it. Yeah. What about the trial, Well, 155 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,840 so mister Grayson done everything in his power, and so did I told the 156 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,279 truth as close as I could recollect it. But it didn't make no sense. 157 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,799 We never found a man in a bar or the man who drove up 158 00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:35,240 in the car. What about the phone number in the all that that turned 159 00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:41,399 out to be a fancy dress that turned out to be a fancy dress shop 160 00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:48,240 on Powell Street. Caller Mason Francine and the Classified ads that that was the 161 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,240 queerest thing of all. What do you mean, Well, mister Grayson went 162 00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:54,039 through every newspaper in the country for two weeks either side of the night, 163 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,480 and there wasn't any such add in any of them. So they said I 164 00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:01,159 was lying. They said I was lying. I made it all up in 165 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,600 my head. Not now they're going to kill me for him. I don't 166 00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:09,120 know, mister Spade, I've heard so long now. Maybe I did kill 167 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:18,519 her. Maybe they're right, Maybe they're right, But there was something in 168 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,519 the way that said maybe they're right. I told you they were wrong. 169 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,360 I thanked him and told him I had what I wanted from my story and 170 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,440 said goodbye. There was no hope in his face, but no despair either. 171 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,480 He knew what was coming and he was ready. And that's all. 172 00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:37,279 I hit the homeward bound commuters on the wrong side of the Golden Gate Bridge. 173 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,080 So it was almost seven when I checked into Cherry Duggan's bar on the 174 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,759 waterfront. A girl was sitting free stools down from me, a class type 175 00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:48,679 dame and a black file suit from Magnums and a hat that must have set 176 00:13:48,759 --> 00:13:52,600 some good time. Charlie back fifty bucks at the kind of a dame you'd 177 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,960 expect to be sitting in Cherry Duggans, least of all as drunk as she 178 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,639 was telling Yeah, yard Jack, fifty cents, thank you. Wait a 179 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,759 minute. This is a one man operation, isn't it? Yes, why 180 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,440 then you'd be Sherry Dougan. No, no, I brought the joint from 181 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,919 Sherry a few bunch back. Right, well, I'm I'm doing a story 182 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,159 for the papers on Willie Johnson.

Keep running, Sherry running, you know, 191 00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:07,919 Sherry is like a dog running away from a can tied to his tail. 192 00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:11,879 We all are we?

The guy is his partner, George Farewell. You must 211 00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:49,440 have heard of the firm he Luton Farewell. I had, but it was 212 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,279 a slightly different reading from the one mister Spinley gave me at the hospital. 213 00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:57,399 I looked at my watch, Willie was four and a half hours from the 214 00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,279 end of the line when I took off for the press room at the Star 215 00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:11,559 Time. You are listening to the weekly adventure of radio's most famous detective, 216 00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:30,480 Sam Spade. Three Times Mean Good Times on NBC. There's fun and music 217 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,799 for you tomorrow evening with the Dennist Day Show.

I got out of the elevator in 221 00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:02,759 the basement of the Star Times building on Mission Street and started looking for the 222 00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:07,519 press room foreman, somebody named Joe fordesque. I finally found his feet sticking 223 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:08,920 out from under a sick line of type, hauled him out and tried to 224 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,400 make him understand what I wanted. Yeah, I know, I know, 225 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,000 you mean, I know all this badley like this guys, I can't hear 226 00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:17,519 you. I tell you, A little bandy like you guy?

I know, but that's not what I trim off 229 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,559 his rocker for a year. Look you see that picture on the wall over 230 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:37,000 your head. Yeah that's mister Hale. The iron fist won't tolerate no inefficiency. 231 00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:41,519 You understand what this screwpall this Charlie Forrest. I personally can him twice 232 00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:47,079 and both times iron fists send him victim. So so don't make no never 233 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,880 mind to be brother, leave him come to work, stude all the time, 234 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,799 leave him lay off of two straight weeks like this time. Don't make 235 00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:53,880 no never mind? Yeah, yeah no, Look I'm up with you now. 236 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,799 How long has Charlie been this way? A year or so? I 237 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,359 know, just when it started when Willie Johnson was hauled in on the hitchhiking 238 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,519 killing. Right, Oh you've been talking to Charlie. Huh? Yeah, 239 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,880 A funny thing. How that hit him? You'd find him sitting in a 240 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,920 corner by himself, mumbling all the time about the guy being innocent. What 241 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,680 do you suppose Charlie had to do with that? All right? I don't 242 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,640 know, got real crazy, told the end, you know, said he 243 00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:19,759 was killing Willie Johnson, and you'd ask him with what me'd say, a 244 00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:22,680 Liner type machine and a hunker NEOs print. One day he even offered to 245 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,440 prove it, you know how, I don't know. He said he had 246 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,240 proof. He said he had the evidence. It would save Willie's neck. 247 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,359 In his room was the office trolley. Oh, I've got to find out 248 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,279 where he lives. They don't know upstairs, I don't know. We don't 249 00:19:36,279 --> 00:19:38,440 know downstairs either. He moved out of his apartment three weeks back, and 250 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,839 don't nobody know where he went. Look, he was in this morning, 251 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,559 picked up a Gallley proof a page one. That's right.

I tossed the room from 271 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,240 the light fixture to the floorboards, covered everything from the window shades to the 272 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:10,200 bathroom plumbing result one batch of dirty laundry, six soggy cigarettes, and two 273 00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:14,319 empty bottles of sleeping pills. I was on my way out when I remembered 274 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,200 one more thing. It wasn't an accident like in the movies. It was 275 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,039 on purpose. I unscrewed the tops of the iron bedposts inside Number three. 276 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,920 I found it. There was a payphone at the end of the dark hallway. 277 00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:27,799 Sam. I warned you about this. We've had four stage. They 278 00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:30,359 won't come through with a fifth. I've got a fair hoole card, Grayson. 279 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,119 Did you get the judge?

It is a phony newspaper, 282 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,720 a copy of the Star Times for the night of the murder, with 283 00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:47,160 a special page in the classified section carrying the ad that Willie answered, How 284 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,119 does that sound? You've got it now? Yeah, Fore, I'll get 285 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,200 back to the judge. Say wait a minute, who's behind it? It's 286 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,440 a long story.

Broad kidd you faith that's it. 288 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,359 You can turn around now, well, iron Fist, we've met. 289 00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:08,559 I've seen your picture, mister Hale. It flattered me, no doubt. 290 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,119 Give it to me. What the paper is stupid? I haven't read the 291 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:23,519 Funnies, all right, mister Spade. If you'd read it, iron Fists 292 00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:26,599 knew other games besides publishing. He moved up. I went for the gun, 293 00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:30,680 which suddenly wasn't there, and he was giving me a fast demonstration of 294 00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:33,960 Judo for beginning. The first thing you know, I was falling on the 295 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,799 floor and he was looking down at me along the barrel of his thirty eight. 296 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:44,319 I could kill you, I suppose, But why why? He backed 297 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,240 off toward the windows, spread out the paper and crumbled it up. Now 298 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,960 you know what you're doing with that match, Hale, You're burning Willie Johnson 299 00:22:51,960 --> 00:23:00,480 at the stakes. He touched the match to the pile of papers, watched 300 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,920 them players suddenly lighting up the entire hallway. He looked like a medieval devil. 301 00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:07,279 I'm sorry about Willie's Spade, but it has to be, That's all 302 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,640 it has to be. What did you have to do with Georgia Lyon? 303 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,680 Nothing? Nothing at all. And her name wasn't Georgia Lion, really it 304 00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:18,440 was a stage name. Her real name was Farewell. Your part in his 305 00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:22,640 weight by Spade? Didn't you read the testimony of the trial. He was 306 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,640 leaving George that night. She'd made a noble decision to walk out of his 307 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,160 life and leave him free for your daughter. I'm Maryland, that's right. 308 00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:33,680 And it was such a tragedy. Georgia had to run into Willie Johnson the 309 00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:44,759 very night she left. Wasn't it, Spade, wasn't it? He bent 310 00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:48,160 over the fire, watched it die down into a pile of ashes. I 311 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,319 was looking at something else. A draft from the stairwell behind me had picked 312 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,240 up a glowing scrap and set it down at the foot of a sleazy window 313 00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:59,920 curtain behind him. Well, and it spade, the last of Willie Johnson, 314 00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:07,559 the last of I hit him at the knees as the curtain went up 315 00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:11,799 in a blinding flash. No judo this time, just an old fashioned hammelt. 316 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,000 Let me go. Come on, Jimmy, that gun no break your 317 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:22,519 arm off. Well that's better, now, get up, get up, 318 00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:32,240 hell stop hell, I called him in the Legas he hit the top of 319 00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:33,960 the stairway, he took off like an eagle, lit on his neck halfway 320 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,480 down and top of the rest of the way like a loose tack sack of 321 00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:41,400 laundry. He was dead when I got to him. Score with an hour 322 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,960 and five minutes to play, no evidence, one dead witness, one unconscious, 323 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,799 one, one killer and accomplice. At lunch, there was only one 324 00:24:49,799 --> 00:25:02,079 way left to go, and I took it. George Farewells apartment. That's 325 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,960 the penthoffs. Yeh see home. I don't know what's the matter up there, 326 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,359 sir. I think something's wrong, awfully wrong. He went up there 327 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,400 early this evening with the young lady, and the door to the roofless locked 328 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,400 at the eighth floor. That's never happened before any other way up. Or 329 00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:22,480 you might try the fire escape if it's urgent. It is so I climbed 330 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,799 the fire escape at the eighth floor and went up onto the roof, or 331 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,079 rather into George Farewells patio. I worked my way through a maze of potted 332 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,599 shrubbery around a fish pond with a fountain in the middle. Piano music was 333 00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:40,920 coming through a pair of French doors. But before I saw where the music 334 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,799 was coming from, I knew it was the radio and not the piano, 335 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,200 because the piano of fourteen foot grand at George Farewells crawled across the keyboard with 336 00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:55,920 a bullet through his head. I crossed to the set of French doors on 337 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,480 the other side of the house. There I saw standing up on the three 338 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,920 foot power. If it's surrounding the roof, looking eight floors down into the 339 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:11,240 street, you're not really going to jump, Maryn. He did it his 340 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,839 way. I'm gonna do it mine. Don't come any closer, don't. 341 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,920 I won't. So George shot himself. Huh? Why not? That goes 342 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,960 through life as you can tie to your tail. No running away from that, 343 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,440 No, there isn't. Well, you're gonna jump, give me time. 344 00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:30,799 Oh you want to do it the domatic way, don't you, Marilyn. 345 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,759 Only thirty five minutes left until Willie checks out over the ship, And 346 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,759 to make it really ironic, you'll want to take off before he does. 347 00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:40,960 Right, the one person left who can save them. I talked to Willy, 348 00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:45,400 Marilyn. He must hate the world. He doesn't hate anybody, poor 349 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,319 j I think he'd feel even sorrier for you, throwing your own life away 350 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,160 while you can still save his. You can't run away from this, ten 351 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:56,440 can but you can untie it. You can climb down off that wall and 352 00:26:56,519 --> 00:26:59,759 right over to Quinton with me. You can tell im George Farewell killed this 353 00:26:59,839 --> 00:27:02,400 one, right bet, The three of you and the little lion of Typer 354 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:08,039 made a pigeon out of Willie. Ah, oh my breath. She swayed, 355 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,480 looked down into the street, poising herself. Then she turned round and 356 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:23,480 stepped onto the roof again. Let's go congratulations. Yeah, oh my, 357 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:37,839 George Farewell didn't stab his wife that night. I did. We pulled up 358 00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:44,359 at Quentin with six minutes to spare the foregoing Justice. Benjamin has submitted and 359 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,079 supported the stay of execution granted Willie Johnson and will be set forth in detail 360 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:53,200 in mister Grayson's petition for a new trial period and of report. She really 361 00:27:53,240 --> 00:28:00,480 can say? What can I say? Well? I have one constructive suggestion. 362 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,279 I could say, you're the greatest, finest, most wondering. Yes, 363 00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:07,640 but you'd only be repeating yourself, Jaron. The proper line at this 364 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,079 moment is I shall have the report ready for you immediately following the next announcement. 365 00:28:12,839 --> 00:28:23,640 Right Scoot three times mean good Times on NBC.

Good Night. Tonight's transcribed Adventure of Sam 382 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,480 Spade was produced, editor and directed by William Spear. Sam Spade was played 383 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,920 by Stephen Dunn, Loreen Tuttle as Effie. Also in the cast for Junius 384 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,559 Matthews, Olan Silet, Wally Mayer, Sidney Miller, Kathy Lewis, Paul 385 00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:33,240 Freeset, Max and lou Merrow. Script Fortnight's Adventure by Harold Swanton, Musical 386 00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:45,440 scoring by lud Gluskin, conducted by Robert Armbuster. This is NBC, the 387 00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:56,839 National Broadcasting Company. Welcome back. First of all, was there ever a 388 00:30:57,079 --> 00:31:03,640 better name for a series only to a radio detective program than the Hale and 389 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,400 Farewell Keeper. Admittedly, most detective programs didn't know they were coming to an 390 00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:15,240 end or didn't really choose to mark the ending, but this is about perfect 391 00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:19,880 as an exit line. And while the series had its ups and downs over 392 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,039 the previous twenty three weeks, I think this episode's end things on a high 393 00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:30,400 note and we get Sam in a race against time to save a man from 394 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,440 death, and it avoids being cliched, even though there are quite a few 395 00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:40,079 stories that have that basic plot. We got some tense action, but in 396 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:48,440 the end, Spade's relentlessness and strength of character ultimately leads to getting the killer 397 00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:53,359 to confess and saving the life of an innocent man. Having listened to Steve 398 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:59,359 Dunn's whole run, I can't help but feel he's a bit underrated by old 399 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:06,759 time radios, overshadowed by Howard Duff's iconic performance in the same way that John 400 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:14,920 Lund is overshadowed by Bob Bailey's superlative take on the character of Johnny Doller. 401 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:21,880 Playing Sam Spade was the best opportunity of Dunn's career, and he put everything 402 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:28,799 into it. After an episode or so of settling into playing Sam Spade, 403 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,480 he made the role of his own and rose to the occasion with every script. 404 00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:37,960 Well, sometimes the scripts let him down, and the quality wasn't quite 405 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:43,119 at the level it was when Dowd and Tolman were writing Spade. There was 406 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,720 really nothing more that Don could have done to make the show a success. 407 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,680 The final episode includes a light pitch for return, though not quite as strong 408 00:32:53,799 --> 00:33:00,359 as what listeners heard on the last Howard Duff episodes. Like most such request 409 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,880 at the end of a series, it wasn't successful. The political angle may 410 00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:10,119 have been why the show didn't draw a sponsor or, at least part of 411 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:15,160 it. The idea that you can spend years hiding the link between an author 412 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:22,559 and a radio series and undo that association by dropping mention of the author seems 413 00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:28,160 silly, and it could be the association with Himmett may have kept sponsors away. 414 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:34,839 Even if the award done received a few weeks previously indicated, it didn't 415 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:40,839 really keep audiences away. However, being nineteen fifty one may be explanation enough 416 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,680 television began to outpace radio and advertising revenue for the first time. Programs like 417 00:33:47,839 --> 00:33:52,519 Tales of the Texas Ranger, The Man Called X, and The New Adventures 418 00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:58,279 of Neiro Wolf all struggled with gaining consistent sponsors, and none had any political 419 00:33:58,319 --> 00:34:04,200 baggage Nearal Wolfe was canceled after a similar number of episodes without being able to 420 00:34:04,279 --> 00:34:09,519 draw a sponsor. Don would continue to have an active career throughout the nineteen 421 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:17,639 fifties and into the nineteen sixties. He starred in a sitcom called Professional Father. 422 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,960 He hosted three different game shows, including a prime time version of Truth 423 00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:30,840 or Consequences. The daytime version was hosted by the Light Bob Barker, and 424 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:37,639 he actually got another chance to play a detective in the syndicated TV series The 425 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:43,800 Brothers Brannigan, which just has one of the best TV openings you've ever heard. 426 00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:46,800 I'd encourage you to check that out on your own on YouTube if you're 427 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:52,480 curious. That all of these efforts were short lived and would run for a 428 00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:58,760 season or less. During the rest of his time, Don made guest appearances 429 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:04,320 on a variety of tea TV shows and played small parts in films which would 430 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,480 become his bread and butter through the rest of the sixties and into the early 431 00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:15,039 seventies. While we're done with the Stephen Dunn era, we're not quite done 432 00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:20,920 with Sam Spade, as we have a Howard Duff home recording and one more 433 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,480 adaptation of the Maltese Falcon. Yeah, for now, I think it's fitting 434 00:35:24,519 --> 00:35:30,320 to salute done on a solid farewell to his best role. Now it's time 435 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:36,320 to thank our Patreon supporter of the day.

Where for the living 443 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,079 room windows saw this prowler holding a gun on missus palm quiz. The doctor 444 00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:22,320 got into the house quietly and was sneaking up from behind when the prowler heard 445 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,679 him and got rattled. Prowler fired and killed a woman just as the doc 446 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:30,360 brought a paperweight down on his head. Nice a lot of left field funny. 447 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,320 I always thought prowlers and gunmen are two different things. Nothing says it 448 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,559 can't happen, and the evidence says it didn't. What does that mean that 449 00:36:37,679 --> 00:36:42,159 this is one prowler who's sown uptight because everything checks out. The thirty eight 450 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,199 is his his prints are on it. Lab found the Lockey force to get 451 00:36:45,199 --> 00:36:46,360 in. What else? You want a moving picture? We don't get mad. 452 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:51,800 Don't get mad. I'm just asking now that house call the doctor was 453 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,639 out on I'm a stranger in town. But isn't that kind of a late 454 00:36:53,679 --> 00:36:58,159 hour to see a patient unless it's a real emergency, not when they looked 455 00:36:58,199 --> 00:37:00,119 like this one. Oh, I checked with her this morning. She could 456 00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:02,920 make me go to medical school right now, even at this age. Nice 457 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,280 son put it this way. Her first name ought to be Marylyn. That's 458 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,840 pretty clear. Who is she? A missus LRDA Kunsidine thirty five, widow 459 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,079 money and everyone should look like that. I hope you'll be with us then. 460 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:21,960 In the meantime, do send your comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives 461 00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:27,079 dot NEP, follow us on Twitter at Radio Detectives, and check us out 462 00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:32,960 on Instagram, Instagram, dot com, slash Great Detectives from Boise, Idaho. 463 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,599 This is your host, Adam Graham.
