Tom for today's episode of Rogues Gallery.

21
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:22.439
This one is called the Latin Top
and this one is a Mystery Playhouse episode

22
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:35.439
from the Armed Forces Radio Services,
so enjoy all creeps. This is a

23
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.199
very tired tea for why on the
Mystery Playhouse. The night's story will be

24
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:45.120
told by Dick Powells, who plays
Richard Rogue. Now and another graphic adventure

25
00:02:45.240 --> 00:03:12.879
from Rogues Gallery. When I got
on a rattler for my fifth Central City,

26
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.639
I was not exactly a joy boy. I hate riding on trains,

27
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.960
but a couple of hours later,
I'm a happy chattie because who do I

28
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.360
run across in the lounge car is
a little ambition of mine with the name

29
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:29.639
of Betty Callahan, a newspaper woman
who is cheating the movies. She's a

30
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:35.240
pocket sized brunette with cornflower blue eyes
and the complexion which wouldn't come off on

31
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.479
the shoulder of my blue gabardeen suit. I rescued her from the wolves and

32
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.479
Uncle Sam's clothing who were making life
too interesting for in the club car,

33
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:59.240
and we retired to my compartment for
to talk about the old time. Nice

34
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.039
was a place you have here,
Richard. A guy can get pretty lonesome

35
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.800
a place like this, you know, Betty, Get that gleam out of

36
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:09.360
your eye. Origin. I'm perfectly
comfortable right where I am, all right,

37
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.639
all right, And I just thought
maybe you'd like to sit here with

38
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.160
me and look out of the window. You're so thoughtful. You haven't even

39
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:18.639
told me where you're going. The
things finally get too hot for you at

40
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:23.160
home. Please, I'm going to
Central City, baby, for the same

41
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:30.759
reason you are. Charlie Millert trial
learned run very funny. I am an

42
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.360
expert with this, and I've got
a briefcase full of research here that's going

43
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:39.240
to make the DA very happy.
Come a little closer. Oh, whoa,

44
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.399
what do you think Charlie when you
get to work? Oh, let's

45
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.279
not talk about Charlie, talk about
me. Didn't you ever get tired?

46
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.240
Of that. Fucking no, it's
fascinating. Come on, what are you

47
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:57.040
sitting Claire over there? For you
like it here? Why did your mother

48
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:03.800
ever tell you anything about like you
plenty? Why don't you drop that front

49
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.160
page character angel? We've known each
other for a long time. I was

50
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:12.720
just trying. Stop trying. How
can you be so mean to me?

51
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.720
Ever since the first time I saw
you, Betty, I've been stuck on

52
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:23.480
here, No kidding, did anybody
ever believe that line? Once in a

53
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.160
while, you know something's going to
happen to doing this, any lady,

54
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:36.120
Let's find out quiet? Oh brother, what's the idea? Lady? This

55
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.920
is a private compartment. I'm sorry
to intrude. Who is this girl?

56
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.920
Richard? I never saw it before? Who are you? I had to

57
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.959
come in here? My life is
in dangerous love hand lady, I don't

58
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.519
think you've improved your situation and breaking
in here when you did? Oh?

59
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.600
What does everything have to happen to
me? Why don't you buy a ticket

60
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.040
Latin type and then you wouldn't have
to play hide and seek with the conductor.

61
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.959
I had to come in here.
I'm hiding. There's a man on

62
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.360
this train who has signs on my
life. Yes, what Bernhard could have

63
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:09.399
done with that line? You don't
believe me? That's right now, scram

64
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:13.920
Hey the guy with a design I
want to take a gander. No,

65
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:20.360
no, no, I've answered myself. I want to talk to you aboute

66
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.120
Dianne. It's impossible, but there's
nothing more. I think, Mandy,

67
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.920
you're better. I know where you're
going Diane, and I know what you've

68
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:32.839
got, and you want to come
out here? All right? They were

69
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.680
doing. I mean I'll be waiting. Want me to take care of that

70
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.439
funk for you. You stay out
of this, please? Will you keep

71
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:47.639
this briefcase on me? Don't let
anyone touches Please next time, why don't

72
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.920
you get a drawing room with a
revolving door with it? Oh? Shut

73
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:56.319
out? You know I'm kind of
worried about that girl. I'm gonna feel

74
00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:09.639
pretty silly if she comes up there. For the next two minutes, I

75
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:14.199
worried about Diane and the man who
had designs on her life. But I'm

76
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.680
a romantis hi, So I spent
the next fifty eight minutes trying to spell

77
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:23.360
buying Betty into seeing things by way, but she wasn't looking. At the

78
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.160
end of an hour. My chances
were still about on the ratio of a

79
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:35.920
little rock junior high against Notre Dame. So I gave up. Well,

80
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.240
it's been an hour. Sometimes it
are checked off. What do you think

81
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.000
the Dame's either as goofy as a
cub out for her, or she's really

82
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.680
in a jam. You're pulling me
off with my X on the first danta.

83
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.399
Let's take a looking at briefcase she
left down. Hey, wait a

84
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.000
minute, honey, that's my briefcase. Oh I'm sorry, don't get hoofy,

85
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.319
Rachel. Those two briefcases are practically
identical. Yeah, I guess they

86
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.319
aren't that or give me mine,
I'm gonna put it up here on the

87
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:09.439
rack. Hey, what is this
ip down? Pretty boy had a light

88
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.959
back on. Richard got up,
lady right, give me that great taste,

89
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.920
pretty boy, get that flashlight out
of my eyes. Get your hands

90
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.759
but I eye give me that flashlight. Sorry, lady, but you last

91
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.319
now, pretty boy, give me
that bag. Hey, what's the gimmick?

92
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.440
What are you pulling? That emergency
card? And I want to have

93
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:46.759
to show to get your hands out? Hout so long, pretty boy.

94
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.759
As he pulled the cord, I
could see the gleam of a gun on

95
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.320
this character's fist, and I didn't
want any samples of as a marksmanship.

96
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.039
But I could hear Betty groaning on
the floor at my feet, and all

97
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.440
of a sudden, I felt I
had to get in before he jumped out

98
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.720
of that window he'd knocked out with
the butt of his pistol. I made

99
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.039
a dive for him, expecting to
stop a little lead. When I got

100
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.639
worried, Benny wasn't there. He
was behind me. I knew that when

101
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.679
I heard the flashlight whizzing through the
air, it connected expertly right behind my

102
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.720
ear. And there I went again
into the land of Nod, which is

103
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:26.679
practically my home away from home.
Everything was very quiet for a while,

104
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:41.960
and I slept on log Come on, get up, get up, hut,

105
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:52.360
it's been heard. Betty away you
get up. Oh I can't oh

106
00:09:52.399 --> 00:10:00.679
my head, get up, get
up, Wake up? Sudden noise?

107
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:07.200
Someone watching? Oh, they'll go
away, step out. Let him in.

108
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:13.320
Betty's been hurt. What happened?
I can't remember? Remember the man?

109
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.559
Remember the girl? He came back? Yeah, yeah, I'll cut

110
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:24.720
it out. Stop that pounding.
Oh my head in the gym. Betty's

111
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:31.759
been hurt. Wake up, get
up. I can't I can't watch that

112
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.360
pounding, pounding, pounding. Cut
it out, cut it out, stop

113
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:48.000
it to get here, stop it, stop it, stop it. Remember

114
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:56.120
open the door. Okay, okay, Betty, oh Betty, your poor

115
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.080
kid. Hello, Hello, I'm
coming. I'm coming. Just keep a

116
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:05.799
shirt on. I demand an explanation
of what's been going on in here.

117
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.080
Come on, come on, help
me bring this girl out of it.

118
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.320
The window broken. You know what
that does to the air conditioning in this

119
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.000
car. The man got out of
that window while the train was stopped,

120
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.559
Hope pulling its emergency card. This
guy, he came in here waving a

121
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.519
gun aerund took a briefcase of some
dame and left here, stopped the train

122
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.480
and knocked our brains out. I
just came to and he's gone. So

123
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.080
let's face a conductor. He must
have jumped out the window. Yes,

124
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.080
And what happened to the young lady
who left the briefcase here in your compartment?

125
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.840
I don't know why I never saw
her before. Oh you okay,

126
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:45.720
baby? Oh sure, my mom? Where shut up? I don't know

127
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.759
I'm holding you responsible for the damage
that's been done to this compartment. What's

128
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:52.440
your name. The name's Richard Rogge. Now get out of here. I'll

129
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.080
give you some more things to hold
me responsible for personal thing. I'm the

130
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.480
conductor on this train. Okay,
okay, we'll still be on your train

131
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:07.240
when you pull into Central City.
Goodbye, now, goodbye to your seat.

132
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.679
Please where you're hit im? Please, I've heard you a dynamic when

133
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.639
you got stuff a pit. Yeah, look a dafty dame that came charge.

134
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.279
Yea, I wasn't kidding. A
briefcase hers full of dynamite wash,

135
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.320
it's gone the window. Oh no, it isn't the one that jumper took

136
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.240
my mind. Remember I had it
my hand ready to put it up on

137
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.159
the luggage rack when he came in. Guinea hurries. It's right off there

138
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.840
behind you. Oh sure, luck, I don't know what. Don't you

139
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.200
love life? I just push I
did a scene. Well, comb the

140
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.320
hair over that lump on your head. Dady, we're gonna find and confer

141
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.639
with a young lady whose fart plug
this carnival and mayhem. Okay, I'm

142
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.679
in. Oh that's run. Had
a little something go talk to her.

143
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.519
My head had that familiar old feeling
of having been washed in the washing machine,

144
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.360
and I was feeling anything but cute
as we wandered down the aisle,

145
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.240
asking porters if they'd seen a big
brunette wearing a blue pen striped suit and

146
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.879
a hat with cherries on it.
That was Diane, you know. Finally,

147
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.159
in cars seventy three, the porter
recognized the description and told us that

148
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.639
the lady was in drawing roomy naturally, the conductor came along about this time.

149
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.840
The Blairs bounced off that haze of
pain that surrounded me like a ricocheting

150
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:35.720
bullets. He went with us under
protest to drawing room. May no answer,

151
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.120
He isn't in. Why don't you
look in the clump car? I

152
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:46.039
did knock again? Why don't you
try the door? Okay is open?

153
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.200
Good doctor? Might have we going
to look around? What try have you

154
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.120
to into the state room of a
strange woman to m me if you wanted

155
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.360
when I'm gonna take a look around? Uh, nobody at home? I

156
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:03.039
guess I hope you're satisfied her up
the train walking into other people's drawing room.

157
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.440
Look, mister, I'm trying to
help you. I've been all over

158
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.639
this train. I say it has
to be someplace all right, all right,

159
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.679
she's not here and I can't stand
around all night. Look over there

160
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.720
under the berth, I don't see
anything, you know, maca back.

161
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:22.759
How do you think that is reading? Why that blood? Police blankets?

162
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.720
Back? Oh? I'm going out
of here. Are you convinced now that

163
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.240
something happened to that girl? Here? Curky polk girl, you must be

164
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:37.480
in here someplace. Open the door
of that wardrobe. Oh, Richie here,

165
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.799
help me move her up on the
bus. Nah, you've ever right

166
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:52.080
where she is. The cops won't
water move. Oh she's dead. Yes,

167
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.279
she was dead, and all we
knew about her was that her name

168
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.240
was Diane and that I had the
briefcase which must contain the reason for her

169
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.759
murder. A pleasant thought. I
took one more look at the dead girl,

170
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.320
shuddered and pulled Betty out of that
room. I wondered what was going

171
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:30.759
to happen next, and who was
going to be the main attractive I must

172
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.399
have been born under a police star. No matter what I started out to

173
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.120
do, I end up with more
trouble than a jitterbug at a square dance.

174
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.720
Me. I started out to be
an expert witness, and I wind

175
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.879
up in the Sheriff's office in Central
City trying to explain a murder. Betty

176
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.600
was enjoying every minute of this comedy
of Terra's being a news hawk. He

177
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.279
was jumping with enthusiasm and theories.
The sheriff was jumping with importance. I

178
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.720
was just jumping. I don't like
murder unless there's a profit in it for

179
00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:00.279
me. Sit down in a rope. You shouldn't be so nervous. Always

180
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.639
should be getting a report of that
murdered woman, shouldn't me, Sheriff.

181
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:04.399
We're not gonna get any place until
we find out who she was. My

182
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.200
men are working on it, rogue. I just take it easy. We

183
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:12.120
know our business here in Central City. Ah, well that's your business,

184
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.840
isn't mine. So if you don't
mind, I think I'll shove off.

185
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.960
I've got a little business to take
care of myself. Just a moment,

186
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:23.039
I will. We got a positive
identification on that lady who was stabbed on

187
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.440
the train, Sheriff, And who
do you think she want? Well?

188
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.120
Who was she? Got to it? Hennessey. She was Diane Lewar,

189
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.399
wife of Charlie Miller, who's on
file from murdering Big Joel and Bertie's no

190
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:44.360
kidding. Yeah, you can go
Hennessey Sheriff Mills. Yeah, all over

191
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.159
the place. Huh, great work, sergeant. Okay, I'll have a

192
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.519
pick out on him in ten minutes. Thanks. Well, what's the good

193
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.159
news? Have anything to do with
the case, Well, rogue. The

194
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.480
man who stabbed missus Charlie Miller was
Flip Stone Miller's best friend and his first

195
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.160
lieutenant. In the sluck Machine record, his fingerprints were all over the knife.

196
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:07.799
How do you like that? I
don't like it. It doesn't make

197
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.799
sense yet, Richard. I'm gonna
go call this into my city disc Will

198
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.359
you meet me at the hotel and
been me up debate on what has happened.

199
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.240
Sure, I'll take care of it, baby, you'll run along.

200
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.079
Keep your readers informed. You reminder, if we'll go along with a rogue,

201
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.839
we don't need your help to solve
this case. We're perfectly capable of

202
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.599
taking care of it ourselves. Oh, swell, lots of luck. I've

203
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.039
heard all about you, rogue.
Just keep your hands in your pockets while

204
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.039
you're in central city. We don't
like smart private detectives very well. Remember

205
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:42.640
that I was all set to try
and help the guy until he said that

206
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:47.480
I don't approve of people going around
sticking knives through other people, and I'm

207
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:52.000
willing to throw in my nickels recipes
that they're discouraged. Then this politician with

208
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:53.519
muscles running up to the part in
his hair, it gets tough at me.

209
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.119
Oh well, probably had run across
some wrong guys in his time.

210
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.880
Anyway, Betty and I lamb back
to the hotel splendid. We went up

211
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:06.799
to my room because we wanted to
talk. She called in her story to

212
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.279
a paper, and I sat in
the window and talked the deal over with

213
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.640
myself. She finished her phone call. I really walked into a scoop this

214
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.880
time, said the editors, having
hallucination. He even promised me a raised

215
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.359
throw the ball at that door,
William, Why oh, don't be so

216
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.640
conceited. I want to take a
look in this briefcase all the excitement is

217
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:26.920
about. Of course, you know
you can get put away in the pokey

218
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.079
for a long time, but withholding
editom, you're the worrying type. Unswer

219
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:34.400
why do you use the bowlit stone
rubbed out's bosses better hat? Maybe she

220
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.599
asked idiotic questions while he was trying
to open a briefcase. You know it's

221
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.240
locked. Yeah, I'm afraid I'm
going to have to ruin the lock with

222
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.240
my knives. Too bad. That's
breaking and entrying as something illegal entry.

223
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.920
That'll like twenty years, do you
hey, I'm still the young man.

224
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.559
I get out. Oh come on, come on, I'm not going to

225
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:59.279
be a brobbing and by the lock, hundred dollar bills, millions of them.

226
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.119
Get gander at that, Betty Leney. Oh you catch on quick,

227
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.359
no wonder, Flip Stone was so
anxious to get his hot little pink fists

228
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.039
on this letter. You will.
Yeah, I'd love to have some letters

229
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.480
in here. I want to be
impolite about three four, five, six,

230
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:17.240
seven, eight, nine tenth one. Must be fifty thousand dollars here.

231
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.839
Maybe this is the works. These
letters explain a lot of things.

232
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.200
Eighty one, eighty two, eighty
three four. Don't bother me. I

233
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.480
never saw as much money before.
Na. Well, I know now why

234
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.680
Flipstone put a kiss of death on
the lovely eye an. He had to

235
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.079
keep these letters and that money from
being delivered. He didn't want Charlie Miller

236
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.359
to beat that rapp and through six
thousands already and I haven't even made a

237
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.119
hole in the pile. Oh the
guy who wrote these letters with the character

238
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.440
give me the Sheriff's office please eight
thousand five to seven eight nine thousand.

239
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:48.759
Oh, I wonder what a nice
yacht would cost me? Chicken up that

240
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:53.480
dough was yours? You would be
missus Richard Rogue tonight, oh eight n

241
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:56.920
Hello, Hello, Sheriff's office.
Let me talk to Sheriff Mills. Richard

242
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:03.200

243
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.480

down to seven thirtyth Hotel Splendid right away,

244
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.720
will you. We'll don't ask so
many questions. I'm gonna make you

245
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:15.240
a big man. I want you
to help me plan a surprise party right

246
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.799
now. Hurry. Hey, that's
a lot of nless you got that,

247
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:23.359
Betty Darling Flipstone really grabbed a handful
of disappointment. Went him? Bail out

248
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.039
with that my satire by mistake,
there wasn't nearly that much money in mine.

249
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.480
Who could that be? I don't
know. Look, I'll get over

250
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.279
behind the door. You open it. We look our company over before we

251
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:42.079
put this artillery away. All the
light guns they come in hand it sometimes?

252
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:48.440
Okay, what I'm up ready,
I'm coming in. You can't come

253
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.480
in here. Just keep backing up. I want that. Do you split

254
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.519
bags on me? I didn't not, I can do it. Where's rogue

255
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:02.839
check every hotel legislants home? I
think, where is he? I want

256
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:07.160
to slap around a little bit before
oh wishes? Why did you wait so

257
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:21.039
long? I administered that pistol anesthesia
with masterful precision. Flip was going to

258
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.240
have a long ride in the dream
train. Betty and I took a sheet

259
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.039
off the bed, tore it into
strips, and tied Flip up like traffic

260
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.119
at Hollywood and Vine. Then we
looked around for someplace to hide him.

261
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.680
We finally picked out a spot that
any old made would have thought of.

262
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.279
Immediately, we slipped him under one
of the twin beds. Then we finished

263
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.720
counting the money, twenty five thousand
dollars. Oh, it looked beautiful there,

264
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.480
but I had things to do.
I called the sheriff. He hadn't

265
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:49.119
left the jail yet, so I
went down at a talk with him,

266
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:52.640
and while I was there, I
had a chat with Charlie Miller, a

267
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.839
very satisfactory chat. Then the sheriff
and I went back to the hotel Betty

268
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.440
made a phone call and we waited
for company, the sheriff and I squeezed

269
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:04.960
into a closet when the knock came
at the door. Who is it?

270
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:17.039
Okay, come in thanice. Now
let's get this over with, missus Millow.

271
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:18.400
I want to get out of here
in such a hurry. How do

272
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.559
I know you're on the level?
You have the money with you, I'll

273
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.559
give it to you after you sign
this little document. What is it?

274
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.559
I'll read it to you. I'm
Louis Tobin, a member of the jury

275
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.000

the murder of Big Joe Landetty. Do

five thousand dollars from the hand of missus

Charles Miller, but which I agree
to hold out against the conviction of Charles

278
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:45.039
Miller and to find him not guilty. I also agree to use my best

279
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.839
influence to make the other jurors agree
to a knot guilty verdict. And that's

280
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.160
where you signed. Oh you know
I can't sign a thing like that.

281
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.839
Hell, look, I've got twenty
five grand and hundred's readier for you.

282
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.480
You get it when you sign your
name, right there. No, you

00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.559
keep feeling word my husband, get
the hung jury or an acquittal. This

284
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:04.599
pistique wild be torn up. If
you don't, I'll give it to the

285
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:11.559
newspaper. Sign up, okay,
okay, I'll sign. Here's a pen.

286
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:19.240
Yeah, okay, yeah, I'll
just hang on to this until you

287
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:25.799
give me the money. Two hundred
and fifty one hundred dollars bill. Ye,

288
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:27.759
no, no, I just want
to get out of you. That's

289
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.160
I'll move. Tobbin Chrieff and I
both have you coming. You double cross

290
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.039
me. I was just killing a
coubbin. I'll shake him down, Sheriff.

291
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:37.759
He's got twenty five thousand dollars on
him. Did you mark yourself?

292
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.960
You haven't got a thing on me. I was just Calhoun. Could I

293
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:45.000
have that confession? Oh sure,
if you'll let me have a bat for

294
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.240
a photo stat later okay, it'll
be yours exclusive. And now I'm going

295
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.519
to take this man down and lock
him up where he belongs. Yeah.

296
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.519
That's a good idea, very practical. Oh here, Sheriff, you better

297
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.440
take this money with you. I
just spend everything I get my hands on.

298
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.599
Oh yes, yes, of course, thank you, rogue. You

299
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:02.319
better come it later. No,
sheriff, you better count it now.

300
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.160
I can't take the time now,
Rogue. If there's any money missing,

301
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:17.319
I'll be back. And there had
better not be any money missing. I

302
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:19.200
had news for the sheriff, but
he was so impressed with his pinch that

303
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:23.079
he couldn't see me. Oh well, I knew he'd be back. You

304
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:27.759
see, I'm a practical guy.
I had palmed and pocketed five thousand dollars

305
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:30.759
out of that water. Though I
took off Tobin, I showed it to

306
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.839
Bedding. She was horrified, but
I knew what I was doing. So

307
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.880
I just sat there and waited for
the door to take a beating, and

308
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:41.759
it did. Who is it?
It's the sheriff. Let me in,

309
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.400
Rogue. Why, sheriff, you're
all read in the face. It's your

310
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.359
age. I knew you were a
crook the first time I set eyes on

311
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.079
you, Rogue. You probably studied
psychology at barbery colleagues, that's what makes

312
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.039
you smart. There was only twenty
one thousand dollars in that briefcase when I

313
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.400
counted the money at the jail,
and I had four honest men as witnesses.

314
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.039
Well, you're hard. Where's that
other five thousand dollars rogue in my

315
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:04.839
pocket, Sheriff, And that's where
it's gonna stay. That's larceny. And

316
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.720
you you're under arrest now. Is
that silly? Look Sheryl? Please let

317
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:12.759
her tell him don't need him anymore? Well, Sheriff. Remember when I

318
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:15.640
went in the soil to see Charlie
Miller. What's that got to do with

319
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:19.079
the missing funds? While he posted
the five thousand dollars reward for the killer

320
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.880
of his wife with you didn't he? Oh? Yes, I suppose you

321
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.960
did? You suppose you know he
did? While if you look under the

322
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:30.279
bed there in the bedroom, you'll
find Flipstone, the guy who murdered Diane

323
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:40.720
Miller. It was very simple.
I just collected my reward in advance,

324
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:44.119
That's all, my friend. The
sheriff was a little upset for a while,

325
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:47.799
but he calmed down when Betty brought
in a photographer to take his picture

326
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.559
for the papers. Isn't it funny
what some people will do to get their

327
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.000
pictures in their papers. I had
to practically rastle him to keep him profiling

328
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:00.279
me in a big ham well.
I the reward with Betty. Of course,

329
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:06.920
I didn't just exactly split the weather
I gave her two thousand bucks,

330
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.440
but she didn't want to take anything. Isn't that just like a woman though?

331
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:22.640
Or is it We're a little late, folks. This is T four

332
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.920
y, good night, sleep tight. This is the Armed Forces ready to

333
00:26:26.960 --> 00:27:18.000
go to turn welcome back. Well, the second train murder story that we

334
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:25.359
featured so far in the short history
of us doing Rogue's Gallery, and ironically

335
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:32.200
enough, both were from AFRSS broadcast. I was somewhat disappointed to not hear

336
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:42.640
how exactly Rogue managed to go ahead
and squander his reward here, but uh

337
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:49.000
it does it does working out fairly
well in the end. I got a

338
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.720
listener question here from Valerie says,
Hattam, what do you think of the

339
00:27:52.880 --> 00:28:00.880
Mister District Attorney series? Well,
it's definitely was a historic series. It

340
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:08.880
was made by Philip Philip's Lord,
who was the same the person behind Gangbusters,

341
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:17.400
and it bared some similarity. There
usually was not a mystery, intended

342
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:22.799
to be more crime drama rather than
detective story, but it was still very

343
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:29.319
historic and it had this very interesting
feature of everyone in the story calling the

344
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:36.559
lead character mister District Attorney. And
I've never heard a name reference specifically,

345
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:45.039
although The original model for mister District
Attorney was the crime busting career of Thomas

346
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:51.200
Dewey, later Governor of New York, who famously looked sure to win the

347
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:55.920
nineteen forty eight presidential race. But
the gallop holes turned out to be incorrect.

348
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.720
So it was a very historic,
well done series. And I've liked

349
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.279
the episodes I've heard, just like
I've liked the episodes of other programs such

350
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:08.880
as Bigtown that haven't quite fit in
with the detectives genre we're going with here,

351
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:12.880
But it's definitely a good show.
And there was actually a TV version

352
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:17.759
as well I've heard about but I've
not yet seen. But thanks so much

353
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:22.119
