How were they built? You remember? Out average? I'd say, 69 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,399 I had to tell how are they dressed? One of them was wearing 70 00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:57,600 a hat looked like some kind of summer hat straw.

But these men are police officers. I want you 89 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,199 to tell them what you know about the shooting. Ton I I thought you 90 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,920 might have seen it.

Question mark. I don't think he understands what you want to know. 96 00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:33,879 Yes, that's a tough Let's put it this way. Mister Anderson, 97 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,920 how many men were there? Let's take one of these two men. Can 98 00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,480 you describe one of them? That's the way, captain, that's slate through 99 00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:45,160 rather small, and he can only get so much on it at a time. 100 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,240 He's like all of us. He wants to talk fast and this is 101 00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:49,759 the only way he knows, so we have to make it easy for him. 102 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,680 I understand built black, the captain, you're a bill skipper. The 103 00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:59,680 same man had a thin mustache. That's all I can tell you about him. 104 00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:03,560 How about the other man, mister Anderson, can you describe him? 105 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:07,439 Please?

Did 107 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,720 you see the other man at all? Fine? What can you tell us 108 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,720 about him? Well? He could see was man was wearing a hat, 109 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,560 a white Panama hat. Mister Anderson, he says, yes. Was there 110 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,920 anything peculiar about the way they walked or ran? Or did one of them 111 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,960 have a limp? For instance? Didn't notice anything? He says, he 112 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,240 didn't notice anything. Could you tell us anything about the men's faces? They 113 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:45,039 passed by so quickly? I was worried about the gun shots. Yes, 114 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,960 we can understand that, but do you think you could identify them if you 115 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,679 ever saw them again? He says he could try. Could mister Anderson come 116 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,919 downtown if we have a show up? I don't say why not, but 117 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,720 gets around fine. He wants to know why they killed miss Pott to the 118 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,279 night she says she was one of his best friends. We don't know, 119 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,320 mister Anderson, so as you wish, as he could talk, maybe he 120 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:16,360 could help you more. Sorry, Bert, you talk loud enough. Monday, 121 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,720 July twenty fourth, a round up of all known racketeers and their gang 122 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,320 members was ordered by the Chief of Detectives. Three show ups were scheduled, 123 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,919 one at ten am, one at two and another one at three pm. 124 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,399 The witnesses that we had were unable to identify any of the men. The 125 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,600 incomplete descriptions we had of the suspects was not enough to help the artist in 126 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,759 the crime lab to build a composite picture of the killers. No matter what 127 00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:39,879 approach we took, it seemed that we were getting nowhere. The immediate apprehension 128 00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:43,480 of the killers was not only important because of their danger to the private citizen, 129 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:46,960 but because of the ever present threat of an open shooting war between Gus 130 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,679 Valentine's followers and members of the murder gang wherever they were. Three point fifteen 131 00:09:50,759 --> 00:10:01,080 pm. I gut it homicide frommel Oh yelly, all right, thinks crime 132 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,320 lab. They make a run on those slugs you got at the hospital. 133 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,440 Yeah, no match, that's great? How fouled up? Can I get? 134 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,240 Yeah? I come on, I'm with you, dram waves message her 135 00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:13,759 to call you. Why yeah, I better do it right away. Just 136 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,039 know the skip for TOLSTROMI me to work with you guys in the Valentine thing. 137 00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:20,159 We can use all the help we can get. Joy your slide the 138 00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:31,799 phone over. Oh yeah, here you go. It's matter change your mind. 139 00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:33,799 You let a ring once she knows the signals, she's over to mother 140 00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:37,480 in laws. You know, mother in law's got lots of money and a 141 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,039 limited phone. Let her call me. You got any ideas, sir, 142 00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:43,480 I don't know anybody would like villains. H A lot of them could have 143 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,240 killed him. Just cut word from the crime lab. There's no match on 144 00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:48,879 those slugs. And you didn't get anything out of the show. Ups. 145 00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:52,840 No, no, Maybe that the Starling's woman can give us something. Huh, 146 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,799 you haven't been out there yet. No, not yet. We've been 147 00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:56,840 sweating out the show ups. Stromy and I ready report it's rough gold. 148 00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:01,519 We had an idea, yeah, well a dance times boys. You didn't 149 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,440 get around to yet. Who's there, Anny Davis? He was pretty close 150 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,440 to him, thought a lot of him. Anybody figures to take over his 151 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:09,720 interest as probably David. Do you think advancement could have been the motiform? 152 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,519 No, he wouldn't kill him anyway. He couldn't have just got in from 153 00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:16,720 Florida this morning, And doesn't mean he couldn't have engineered it. Possible, 154 00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:18,840 but I doubt it. Stromie, and I know his operation pretty well pulled 155 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,039 him in on that Patterson killing six months ago. Check back through his record. 156 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:24,200 If he picked up carrying a gun, well, it doesn't mean he 157 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,960 couldn't get one in a hurry. I'm not going to guarantee Davis, but 158 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,559 I don't think he's your man, Joe. You gotta line on him. 159 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,200 Lives at the Church of Arms out in Wiltshire U s c LA. All 160 00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:35,600 right, we'll talk to him. What was the name of that girl who 161 00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:39,559 was wounded the one of the sanitarium? I had him Mane stalling, So 162 00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:43,080 we'll go out and talk to her at you fine, who's gonna see the 163 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,399 Stallings moment at the senatory? Well, yeah, the doctor just called in 164 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,360 from out there. Oh eh, so she got something important to tell us. 165 00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:52,159 What do you think she ran with Valentine? She knew his friends, 166 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:58,919 you know, maybe she knows his enemies.

Yeah, there's never any love loss between them 235 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:15,720 and Gus. They were always talking big about what they do if Gus got 236 00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,720 on the line. What did they have against him? Business claimed Gus was 237 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,000 squeezing them out. I never knew much about Gus. Is out of town 238 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,360 business.

We went back to the office to check with Rombo and Stromwall. 258 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:03,519 We drove in the Spring Street entrance to the City Hall garage. Rombu and 259 00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:08,160 strom must have just got in a rumbo. Hi, how'd you make out 260 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,359 Starling's woman tell you anything? Oh, we talked to her.

Five o'clock Monday afternoon, 267 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,799 we tried for three hours to get in touch with Audrey Thompson. A few 268 00:18:56,799 --> 00:19:00,680 minutes after eight pm, we contacted her landlady. She told us that the 269 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,640 Thompson girl was out of town and would be gone for two days. She 270 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,160 didn't know where she'd gone, but she told us that she would be back. 271 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,680 We checked her apartment and found all of her clothing and personal effects. 272 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,039 A stakeout was placed at eighty seven hundred North Serrano, and then we went 273 00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:17,079 back to the office and got out a local broadcast on Audrey Thompson. Tuesday 274 00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:19,759 morning, eight o'clock. Ben and I met with Captain Elliot and detectives Rombo 275 00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:22,680 and straw Wall. Get a line on the Shaker Brothers. No kid them 276 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,519 in the Eagle Tower's apartments. Cut him on his saven. I don't think 277 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,440 it'd be a good idea to pull them in yet. See what the Thompson 278 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,359 girl has to say that we can move on him. That's what Week put 279 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,039 the packages on him. Yeah, they both get fair records. Been up 280 00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:37,799 on three ramps. One conviction, second Drougie robbery and Tulsa. That's where 281 00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:41,440 they're from. Couple of tough ones, always ready to use a gun. 282 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,519 Cradley got a lot of does somewhere. They've been throwing a lot of money 283 00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:47,279 around town. Pick up any rumbles about him. Well, we've been nosing 284 00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:48,680 around. We can't get anything on them for sure. They're not known around 285 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,960 here. Showing the mug shots at the Shaker Brothers to mister Anderson the sanitarium, 286 00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:55,359 but doctor too, you know, looks like the guys to them. 287 00:19:55,599 --> 00:19:59,119 Everything hinges on the Thompson's ground. Check her out. Yeah, she used 288 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,160 to be married to a newspaper for a man. Blaine Thompson died last year 289 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,160 in an auto accident. No children went to high school here in town. 290 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,000 Local girl reputations good all the way. Why the sudden switched the tough guys. 291 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,519 I don't think she knows you. Satisfied Davis as leveling with you, 292 00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:15,279 I don't if he's not. He did a good job briefing in Stallings woman, 293 00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:17,480 and they both came up with the same lead. The Thompson girl. 294 00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:18,880 We had him in on the Patterson killing. You remember that skipper. He 295 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,640 cooperated them at the time. It was his skin. This time, it's 296 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,000 not all I laid it out for him. He's been told there's a feel 297 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000 to you. Fella's pretty quiet around town. Yeah, it seems to be. 298 00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:32,039 I wouldn't make book on what might happen if we don't wrap this thing 299 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,960 up quick. I think after Joe and Ben gave Davis a word, he 300 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,599 passed it down along the line. Anyway, it's an outside chained. They 301 00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:44,319 just brought in the Thompson girl to send her in right here. I'm gon 302 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,359 shit there, miss Thompson. All right, I detect this Friday Romero? 303 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,119 How do his Bramo Rombo? How you do? I guess you're wondering why 304 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,640 you've been picked up. Yes, I was rather surprised. I was down 305 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,359 Palm Springs for a few days. I don't often get away. My boss 306 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,960 gave me a two day holiday. What do you know about the Shaker brother 307 00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:02,559 Christmas Thompson. They're friends of mine. I go out with them. We 308 00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:04,680 have reason to believe that they might be mixed up in the murder. I 309 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:10,160 do believe that. What's it all about Gus Valentine killing? Do you think 310 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,799 they're mixed up in that? How well do you know the Shaker boys? 311 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,079 It would be truthful. I don't know them at all. Really. I 312 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,039 met him at a dance. Who introduced you? Nobody. I go to 313 00:21:18,039 --> 00:21:19,799 the Brookdale barroom every Wednesday night with some of the girls from the office. 314 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:22,920 It's open to the public crowd. Shaker asked me for a dance one night, 315 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,160 and that's how I met him. You ought to pick your companions a 316 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,240 little more carefully. Both of these men have criminal records. I didn't know 317 00:21:29,279 --> 00:21:33,079 that You've been out with them quite alive. I've known him a little over 318 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,119 a month. Yes, they ever said anything that might lead you to believe 319 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,799 that they were mixed up in any rackets? No, I never heard anything 320 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,119 like that. You're sure you never heard them discuss any business dealings of any 321 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,559 kind. Yes, I'm sure you've been seeing quite a few night spots around 322 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,720 those things, just with them, is that right? Yes? They always 323 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,400 take me to some nice place. You always go along with him. How 324 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,359 do you mean which one happen? Do you go with but or Carl? 325 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,599 I never really thought about it, both of'em. I guess when you 326 00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:00,799 go out there, I never take another girl along the party. No, 327 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,400 just Bud Crell myself. You go to most of the expensive clubs around Town's 328 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,759 all right? Yes, like I said, we always go to some nice 329 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,440 place. Do you ever wonder where they got the money? Well, they 330 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:14,319 told me they worked for one of the aircraft plants. I thought you told 331 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,839 us they didn't discuss their business with you. Well, I didn't consider telling 332 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,079 me where they worked was discussing business. Did you consider that an aircraft worker's 333 00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:26,160 salary wouldn't even handle the cover charge at most of the places they've been taking 334 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,119 you? No, I guess I was having too good a time to question 335 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,680 you, seem Miss Thompson, you could spend a great amount of time with 336 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,640 people and not remember things about them. Are you sure you've told us everything 337 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,319 you know about the Shaker Brothers. Yes, all right, that's all. 338 00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:41,000 If you find out something you think we should know, we'd appreciate it. 339 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,880 If you'd give us a call. Well, i won't be knowing anything about 340 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,839 them cause I'm gonna stop seeing them. I didn't know they had criminal records. 341 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,920 That's entirely up to you. I think it's only fair to warn you 342 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,599 that if you do have any information you're withholding, you are liable to you 343 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,200 the first. Excuse me, I understand, and I'm not going out with 344 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,559 them anymore. I wouldn't let them know you've talked with us. They are 345 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,920 the men we're looking for. Her might put you in danger. I'm not 346 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:08,039 afraid of it. Neither was Gus Valentine. For the next ten days, 347 00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:11,480 Audrey Thompson, along with the Shaker Brothers, was kept under close surveillance. 348 00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:15,720 Was obvious that she'd either lied to us or changed her mind. She continued 349 00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:18,680 going out with him. She was seen in all the important night spots around 350 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,759 town. Thursday, August ninth, we met with Captain Elliott skip her. 351 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,319 Maybe we better pull the tom from girl in again for questions. He told 352 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,759 off for a few more days. I'm afraid if we bring her down here 353 00:23:29,759 --> 00:23:32,759 again, the Shaker brothers could get wise. So she decided to ignore. 354 00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:34,599 We told her they might get rough with her. Why can't we move on 355 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,599 them, shake down their apartment. If we're lucky enough to come up with 356 00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:38,519 a murder again, we will work from there. I don't think so, 357 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,839 Joe the record and only one conviction. I think we'd be playing a long 358 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,960 shot. That's the way it looks to me. Or maybe something will break 359 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,519 if we can hold out just a few days more. Yeah, being watched 360 00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:51,599 off and close, they try to move in any direction, our men will 361 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,160 be with him, right, Yeah, I can't stop out here from it, 362 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,440 right, excuse me for sure? Back when you're through. Yes, 363 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:04,759 yeah, let me out here to see him, Thanks, mister Friday. 364 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,839 Oh oh, miss Thompson. I didn't stop seeing the Shaker boys. Yes, 365 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,599 we know. What you men told me a couple of weeks ago. 366 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,960 Just made me sick to think I'd been going out with these men, been 367 00:24:15,079 --> 00:24:18,160 seeing with them. I've never done anything like that in my life. Yes, 368 00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:22,440 ma'am, I decided to try and find out what you wanted to know. 369 00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:25,079 You didn't ask him any leading questions. Oh, no, I knew 370 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,079 better than that. Last night we were out and they had a little too 371 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,519 much to drink and they got to talking. Yeah. I didn't say anything. 372 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,119 I let them talk and acted interested. Yeah, I confess now I'm 373 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,839 terribly frightened. I spent the night with my sister in law. Could I 374 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,640 stay here till you get this thing straightened out? Certainly we'll give you a 375 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,599 protection, Miss Thompson. How what'd they tell you? First? They got 376 00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:51,119 talking about some girl called item May I didn't catch the last name. Said 377 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,880 they wondered if she saw them at the sanitarium. Yeah, said they wish 378 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,519 they'd finished the job that night, whatever that meant. Then Bud said, 379 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,400 I don't think I think she saw us, or we'd have heard anything else. 380 00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:07,440 Yes, Carl said, did you see the look on Gus's face when 381 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:15,279 we opened up? That? What? They laughed? Why? I had 382 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:18,359 a stenographer take Audrey Thompson's statement, and I filled in Captain Elliott Rambo, 383 00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:22,720 Stromwall and Ben. We checked the steak out on the Shaker brother's apartment. 384 00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:27,400 Suspects hadn't been seen since early that morning when they'd gone in detectives. Rombo 385 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,839 and strom Wall together with Ben and I had rove to the Eagle Tower's apartments. 386 00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:37,359 It was four thirty five pm. Stromy and I'll go up the back 387 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,480 way. We'll notify the men on steakout to keep a sharp eye all around. 388 00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:55,279 Right, let's go. Apartment fourteen is a tough floor. Yeah, 389 00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:10,920 let's take the elevator. Yeah, push for just thinking. Yeah, I 390 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:22,359 have Thompson along on the nerve. It's this week there. It just covered 391 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:33,480 me. Yeah. Yeah, police officers, you all right, Ray hit 392 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:40,240 the door. Come on when that's open. The forest game, come on. 393 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:51,559 They they go over. But the event ladder. Watch it strumming, 394 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,960 rumble coming out the door into the road, rumbo watching they're up here. 395 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,720 There goes one of them. Come on, all right, hold it right 396 00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:02,400 there. I go up there goes to the other one. He's making for 397 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,119 that cable. I'll stay with us one. I'll get him, all right, 398 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,359 Shaker, let's put the gun away. You make a break onto the 399 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:21,519 roof. They'll cut you down, older shaker. All right, Joe, 400 00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:25,200 Yeah, did you shoot him? No, I was trying to make it 401 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,119 to the roof. You grab that hot terminal over there and knocked him cold. 402 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:33,680 Yeah, move your foot will you yeah, what's there white pan in 403 00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:45,599 my hand? The story you have just heard was true, only the names 404 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:51,799 were changed to protect the innocent. On November nineteenth, trial was held in 405 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,400 Superior Court, Department eighty nine, City and County of Los Angeles, State 406 00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:07,240 of California. In a moment the results of that trial, Adolph Budd Shaker 407 00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:11,440 and his brother Carl Shaker were tried and convicted of murder in the first degree. 408 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:17,240 On recommendation of the jury, they received life sentences. They are now 409 00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:26,720 serving their terms in the state penitentiary. You have just heard dragnets authentic cases 410 00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:30,599 from official police files. Technical advice for Dragnet comes from the Office of Chief 411 00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:40,839 of Police W. A. Wharton, Los Angeles Police Department. Fatima Cigarettes, 412 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,880 best of all Long Cigarettes, has brought you Dragnet from Los Angeles Tomorrow. 413 00:28:47,000 --> 00:29:03,480 Here the Ronald Coleman's in the Halls of Ivy on NBC. Welcome back 414 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:08,039 another solid case, and thankfully Gus's allies were far more amenable to letting the 415 00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:14,279 police take care of this than Gus himself had been. Also thought the tailoring 416 00:29:14,359 --> 00:29:19,000 scene was a big highlight just for the show's dedication to showing real stuff. 417 00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:26,440 Happening, and of course we got a reminder that honest cops can't afford anything. 418 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:32,000 The Donegal tweet that Ben Romero found so appealing priced at two hundred and 419 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,519 fifty dollars. In today's money, that would be three thousand, three hundred 420 00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:41,720 and eight dollars. Now we turn to listener comments and feedback, and we 421 00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:48,039 have some comments regarding the thin Man episode. Barbara writ's good job, it's 422 00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:53,039 the first radio thin Man story I've heard, and says this is an entertaining 423 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,039 story, a really good fine and certainly worth a like and a smile. 424 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,240 Thanks Adam. Another listener says, maybe it's time to run through the thin 425 00:30:02,319 --> 00:30:06,400 Man again. This was excellent, on par with the movies. Tuesdays are 426 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,119 the days I look forward to the most now because you never know what surprise 427 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,079 awaits here on the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio. Well, thank you 428 00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:19,400 so much. Appreciate the comments. And it is nice in a way to 429 00:30:19,519 --> 00:30:26,480 have a period where you're just jumping into different series where we've had episodes come 430 00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:30,359 in for it, although I do like having some stability in the lineup, 431 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:36,880 which we'll have after next week when we get into Bulldog drumming, but still 432 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,920 just kind of unwrapping an episode of something here or there is a bit of 433 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:48,200 a treat as well. I'm definitely not opposed to considering a replay of The 434 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,799 Thin Man, although we have another comment that kind of addresses one of the 435 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,720 challenges we face with that. Aileen writes, ooh so nice to be able 436 00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:03,799 to hear a thing. Episodes so many are grainy, and that is a 437 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:11,359 challenge that even with the complete episodes we have, the sound quality is often 438 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,559 not the best. The Thin Man is such a tantalizing series because we've got 439 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:21,000 few episodes of it, but we've got enough that gives us a hint that 440 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,319 at its height, this was a really fun series to listen to. So 441 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,000 I would love to get better quality episodes. I'm not saying I won't replace 442 00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:33,920 some of the other ones. It definitely is a challenge, you know, 443 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,200 once we get into replaying it. The good is is that if you enjoy 444 00:31:38,319 --> 00:31:44,720 sort of husband and wife detective programs, we're only a few months away from 445 00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:51,559 beginning our journey through Mister and Missus North with Joseph Curtin Alice Bross, and 446 00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:56,839 we'll be playing those episodes for forty weeks, and of course even with that 447 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:04,240 series, that's less than ten percent of the episodes that Curtin and Frost did, 448 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,480 but still far more than we have from The thin Man, and most 449 00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:13,519 of those are in better shape than your average thin Man episode. But again, 450 00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:16,240 thank you so much, really appreciate your comments. Now it's time to 451 00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:21,880 thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and I want to go ahead and 452 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:27,440 think Ralph.

You'll want to be sure 461 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:17,240 and listen where I owe you fifteen thousand dollars fifteen. That's an awful lot 462 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,920 of money, Junia. I'm a little surprised. I'll pay off. Don't 463 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:29,240 you worry. I never worry about anybody paying off. Let's face facts. 464 00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:35,359 Where will you get fifteen thousand dollars? Wait, I'll get it where I'll 465 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,519 borrow it. You couldn't borrow fifteen bucks. Well it'll take a few days, 466 00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:43,519 of course. Cracker up your lips more when you're whistling the dark kid, 467 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,200 I give you six months. You couldn't raise the money anyway short of 468 00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:51,480 killing your old man. You've been playing me for a sap, and I'm 469 00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:53,160 getting sore. You said I could have all the credit I wanted you let 470 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,720 me watch shut up anything. I hate it to a whiny loser. I'm 471 00:33:57,759 --> 00:34:00,319 not whiny. You get right on tumbling up until you find your I'm having 472 00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:01,799 a spot. I'm having a spot. Oh no, well guess again, 473 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,960 Junia, You're in a real spot. I hope you'll be with us then 474 00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:10,480 in the meantime.
