I do want to encourage you to support the 15 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,439 show. Support dot Great Detectives dot net and for the past few years, 16 00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:57,799 listener support has been our greatest source of revenue on the program. It helps 17 00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:02,959 pay for quite a few things that we need to do in terms of website 18 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:10,120 protection, hosting, and also just really working towards a goal of me being 19 00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:19,000 able to focus on trying to find ways to pursue passions for writing and for 20 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,199 radio drama. Of course, this past year we've also done The War, 21 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,400 which was a great limited series, and it's the type of thing I'd like 22 00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:30,719 to do more of. It just always becomes a matter of time, so 23 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,520 listener support has help on that end. Well. The story of the Johnny 24 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:42,039 Dollar serials is one I've mentioned before, but I'll recamp briefly. CBS really 25 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,719 was trying to find some way to continue to use dramatic radio and they had 26 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:53,039 the idea of bringing back the fifteen minute serial for mystery dramas, and they 27 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,520 tried this out with two other shows prior to Johnny Doller, Mister and Missus 28 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,919 North and Mister King's Tracer of Lost Persons, in addition to recording an audition 29 00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:07,120 for a return of Rocky Jordan. In the end, it was Johnny Dollar 30 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:13,719 that returned, with Bob Bailey taking over the role as the man with the 31 00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:20,199 action packed expense account and Jack Johnstone producing. I made a list of the 32 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:27,159 top Johnny Dollar cereals and this first one ended up near the top. After 33 00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:31,879 two cereals went bus. They really needed to make this five part concept work 34 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,639 and they went for it with Gusto. Here with this first story. It 35 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:44,599 originally aired between October third and October seventh of nineteen fifty five, and the 36 00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:50,199 title is the McCormick Matter. So here now is all five parts of the 37 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:59,919 McCormick Matter from Hollywood. It's time now for Bob Bailey as Johnny Dollar. 38 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,520 Mister Dollar, this is Father Taggart. I'm calling you from Austining. I'm 39 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,919 one of the chaplains here at Sing Sing. Oh, yes, sir, 40 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,599 What can I do for you? Father? Well, nothing for me, 41 00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:11,080 mister Dollar, but possibly for someone else. Michael Cairn, one of our 42 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,719 inmates, asked me to contact you. Michael Khan, you remember him. 43 00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:17,160 He wasn't sure you would. Old time grifter and con man who got tied 44 00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:19,759 up with an insurance fraud a few years ago. Blonde fellow. Yes, 45 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,839 Michael wants to see you, mister Dollar. Could you possibly find the time 46 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,040 to come up here? Oh? I don't know, Father, is just 47 00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:30,680 something important. It is to Michael. Oh, Well, look, I'll 48 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,399 be in New York sometime next month. Maybe I'll get a chance to stop 49 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:36,120 off. Well, couldn't you possibly make it sooner? What's the rush? 50 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,920 He's going to be there quite a while, isn't he not very long? 51 00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:43,959 I'm afraid Michael is dying all right, father, you can expect me. 52 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:57,000 Welcome to Johnny Dollar, beginning tonight and every weekday night, Bob Bailey in 53 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,199 the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed Expensive Out America's Fabulous freelance 54 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:15,720 insurance Investigator, Yours truly, Johnny Dollar.

He's a tall, mile looking man, a jesuit. 62 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,439 I believe he had to pass already for me, and he led me 63 00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:59,600 straight to the prison infirmary.

A lousy place to die in prison, but you 81 00:07:14,399 --> 00:07:16,920 got my choice thanks to you. Well, it's just that you picked to 82 00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:20,199 do a couple of things that the law and some insurance companies didn't agree with. 83 00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:25,079 Mike. I don't whole ane of that against you. The guy does 84 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,720 what he does. I don't know how to tell you this. Maybe I 85 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,600 better get the doctor. You shouldn't be talking so much, Johnny. Look, 86 00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:38,920 you know I'm no cry baby. When the doctor gave me the news, 87 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:42,680 I got to thinking. I ain't scared to blow out. You understand. 88 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:46,800 I know, Mike. I know. It's just I had a wife 89 00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:50,000 once, a long time ago. When I started out, Oh yeah, 90 00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:56,759 then I just kind of drifted out of her picture one day he got a 91 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,199 cough drop baby. Yeah, I guess what sure what I got? Anyhow, 92 00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:07,000 I got to do something for her before I Johnny, I lay here 93 00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:13,279 and I get myself an idea, Johnny, if there was some real easy 94 00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,120 money lying around, would you pick it up for me? Depends on how 95 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,279 clean it is. Mike, and where it's lying. Yeah, sure, 96 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,759 sure, but it's clean, all right, you can find that out for 97 00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:26,519 yourself, all right. Listen. Until they moved me down here in the 98 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:31,759 infirmary, I roomed upstairs with Jojo Penny. You know, no, I 99 00:08:31,799 --> 00:08:37,799 don't believe I do Carthif from the hay stage. You've got his sabbatical three 100 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,159 weeks ago, parole. But I've been in the camp with a lot of 101 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,200 guys. But Jojo Penny takes a cake. He's got a little old five 102 00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:50,200 year trick to put in, and it's Jojo. He does like a vacation, 103 00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:54,240 you know, a real picnic. Every time he gets a chance out 104 00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:58,320 in the yard. He's taken son, so we don't get the color. 105 00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:03,519 See Yeah, when they push him in with me, I notice this and 106 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,360 I get to going over in my head. Yeah. Why does a guy 107 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:11,879 whistle in a saddle block, Johnny? Why is he treating it like a 108 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,440 rest home short term? He's got something outside waiting, that's it, baby, 109 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,480 He's got something waiting for him outside, something that he knows will keep 110 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:26,080 safe. Money. Thought you said this was legitimate, mikeel it is it 111 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,759 is? Now? Wait? I didn't ask Jojo anything about this. No, 112 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,720 I figured out myself. Then a couple of times I hear him yelling 113 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:39,000 in his sleep mccarmick. He yells, mccarmick. Eh, makes sense now, 114 00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:43,480 Johnny, Not Johnny the Big Heist, Johnny the Big Heist. A 115 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:48,559 few years ago a rich guy named mccarmick got on Long Island. There's someplace 116 00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:52,360 like that gets turned over for one hundred thousand dollars worth of jewelry. You 117 00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:56,679 remember vaguely? Eh, Well, I'm thinking that Jojo Penny was in on 118 00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:01,480 it somewhere else. Why would he be singing in porcelain, cheering himself around 119 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,080 this flight trap for five years? Else? Why would he be talking about 120 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:11,080 that when he's sleeping. Mccarmick. Mccarmick. Maybe you've got something, Mike. 121 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,320 I know I got something, Johnny, and you got something too. 122 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:20,799 Oh, I'm all right, I'm all right. Don't you see? The 123 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,759 insurance company must have a reward out. They always do have reward. But 124 00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:28,000 Mike, I tell you, Joe Joey is the gins of the don the 125 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,759 job or he knows who did it. So you look into it, work 126 00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:37,080 on it, maybe turn up the stuff and get the reward. Good clean 127 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:43,720 coin yeah, send half of it to my old lady. Will you you 128 00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:56,200 keep the rest yourself? What you say, go Taddy at Apostolia said interview, 129 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,799 I can died three hour lady.

Expense account item two fourteen dollars and twenty cents trained fare 131 00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:20,559 and incidentals. Astining to New York, I arrived at two fifteen, dropped 132 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,399 my bag off at the New Western, and went over to the Metropolitan Police 133 00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:28,120 station to find out what I could about the McCormick matter. It was all 134 00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:31,679 pretty much as all Mike had told me. A Julian McCormack living on Long 135 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,320 Island had suffered one hundred thousand dollars jewelry burglary in nineteen fifty one. Twelve 136 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,919 suspects had been arrested and released. The case was marked open and unsolved. 137 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,559 Allied Casually had been the insurance company involved. This is the adjustment office, 138 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:50,480 Frank Porter speaking. My name's Johnny Dollar.

Thanks, that'll be fine. Before I 155 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,039 left the police station, I turned out a mug on Jojo Penny. He 156 00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:58,240 was a big, broad shoulder lad with plenty of beef and a list of 157 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,840 petty convictions, four of them in New York's state. The last one was 158 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,519 for carrying concealed weapons.

I wanted to look at Jojo Panny 171 00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,919 and talk to him and figure out how I was going to go about getting 172 00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:20,399 information from him. And the more I saw and the more he talked, 173 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:22,399 the more I wondered if whatever he might have said about the McCormick case in 174 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,480 his sleep happened to some other McCormick. After all, a man with a 175 00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:30,679 long list of petty fever he's is hardly ever involved in a slick, big 176 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,200 time safe cracking job that takes another kind of talent. And when I was 177 00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:41,840 sure that Jojo didn't have so, I'd just been taking it easy and looking 178 00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:45,480 around. I figure I can get a job pushing a truck or maybe a 179 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,799 cab if I'm lucky. Got to get something to do for all offices. 180 00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:56,799 Kind of hard nosed about things like that. Yeah, drink up? I 181 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,559 one more? Oh no, no thanks, please? My limit even shape? 182 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:07,519 Sure? Say you got anything to do? Nothing special? Why thought 183 00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:09,600 I might go out to Long Island later on tonight to sailo to an old 184 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,720 friend of mine. If you haven't got anything to do, come on along, 185 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:22,799 you're okay, bub sure? Why not this friend of yours he's an 186 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:26,159 ex con too, No, he never did any time, Just a friend. 187 00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:35,600 Want to salo us all rich fella. His name's Julian McCormick. You're 188 00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:39,879 very big with a hellos around here today? Aren't you anything wrong? Joe? 189 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,879 You probably are? Why do you say that nothing? I don't know 190 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,279 anyone named McCormick. I knew a guy named Ernie McCormick once back in Salt 191 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,279 Lake City. We were paled for a while. Oh yeah, Arnie was 192 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,600 killed in the war. He'd got himself drafted in the infantry. Maybe he's 193 00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:00,320 related to my friend Julian McCormick out one Long Island. He wasn't related to 194 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:06,840 anybody, not that bird. I'm leaving. I want to get up early 195 00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:15,039 tomorrow. Why not come with me? Thanks for the drinks. He drifted 196 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,519 off down the street and left me standing there. And one thing I was 197 00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:22,399 sure of. He had the name McCormack on his mind. Whether it was 198 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,080 the right McCormack of the right case, I didn't know. Anyhow. He 199 00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:29,279 was my one big lead. So I was back at his hotel early the 200 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,200 next morning and talking to the disc claif And he did you say room to 201 00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:37,559 ten, Yeah, that's right by most What he left bag and baggage last 202 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,200 night? Well where did he go? What's his forwarding address? He didn't 203 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:48,039 say, just left. Johnny Dollar, It's Frank Porter allied casually, Yes, 204 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,600 mister Porter, I'll call me Frank. Johnny. You phoned yesterday about 205 00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:53,559 the McCormick matter. I got all the stuff about the case on my desk 206 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,720 here, and we're still offering seventy five hundred dollars reward. Thanks for confirming 207 00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:02,399 it, Frank, Sure you got a tip or something. An old con 208 00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:06,359 named Mike Karn gave me a tip about a guy named Jojo Panney. I'm 209 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,599 working on it. We need any help? No, not yet, I 210 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,559 might Jojo pulled out of his hotel last night, bag and baggage. What 211 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,240 are you going to do? I'm on my way to Long Island. I 212 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,200 want to talk to McCormick himself. Oh, Johnny, yeah, let me 213 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,400 give you a tip for your own good. Don't bother Julian McCormick unless you've 214 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:32,920 really got something. Could be dangerous. I think I've got something. Expense 215 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,200 accounts submitted by a special investigator Johnny Dollar to the Allied Casualty and Insurance Company 216 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,119 Limited, Markham Building, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of 217 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:49,240 expenditures during my investigation of the McCormick man. It them four ten dollars deposit 218 00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:52,559 on the car I rented to drive out to Julian McCormick's home on Long Island. 219 00:17:53,279 --> 00:17:56,599 And judging by the looks of the place, a safe full of one 220 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,400 hundred thousand dollars worth of jewelry would feel right at home. It was a 221 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:07,319 mansion and the rugs on the floor were an inch thick. I'm sorry I've 222 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,160 kept you waiting, missus. McCormick and I were packing for a little trip 223 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,400 to Europe. Sit down please, thanks, going to be gone along. 224 00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:15,839 Oh. We usually spend several months a year over there for a bit late 225 00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:18,880 this year. Our reservations are for next week. I envy you, mister 226 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,720 mccomick. Dolla the name, that's right. I forgive me, but I 227 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:26,079 don't seem to recall having heard of you before. It's okay, we never 228 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:32,079 met. I'm an insurance investigator. Oh really, Am I being investigated or 229 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,200 something? No, no, nothing like that. It's just that I might 230 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,000 have a lead on that jewelry that was taken from your home a few years 231 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,160 ago. That's wonderful. You must tell me about it. Can I make 232 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,720 you a dream? No? Thanks? You're from the insurance company Casualty. 233 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,000 No, No, I'm not. I'm an independent investigator. Why should anyone 234 00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:56,160 feel it necessary to call in it? Oh? Oh, I see there's 235 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:02,119 a reward, of course, that's right. Yeah, ah, But now 236 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,119 tell me how can I help you. Well, I'm just checking a few 237 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,519 things, mister McCormick. I haven't even gone over with a man who handled 238 00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:12,200 a case for Allied. Possibly I have run into something that will help. 239 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,000 I don't know. I'd like you to tell me what happened. My safe 240 00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:19,519 was opened and my jewelry taken. I mean how it happened. Well, 241 00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:23,839 it was right in this very room, that's the wall safe there. Ah, 242 00:19:25,319 --> 00:19:29,279 missus McCormick and I had just returned from our honeymoon five years ago. 243 00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:32,799 It was Yeah. All I know is that when I stepped into the library 244 00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:36,119 here that morning, the safe was opened and everything was gone. Whoever did 245 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,119 it was extremely clever and quiet, I must say. Was the safe crack? 246 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,400 No? No, no, it was just opened. Someone figured the 247 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,240 combination or something like that. Well, who knew the combination at the time, 248 00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:49,720 only myself, mister Dalla. You sure of that? Why, of 249 00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:53,759 course? I see. I reported it to the police right away here in 250 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,720 Long Island. Then some men from New York City were here too, and 251 00:19:56,799 --> 00:20:02,240 your insurance comp I reported it to my insurance company immediately. They had a 252 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,079 man on the scene as soon as a police A mister Porter, Frank Porter. 253 00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:07,680 Yes, you know him. I've taught to him on the phone. 254 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,720 I haven't met him. A very nice chap. He worked very hard trying 255 00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:14,680 to recover it. I'm sure he did. Did they have an adjuster? 256 00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:18,480 Yes? How much did you collect? If you don't mind? Not much? 257 00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:22,559 What do you mean? Well, it was unfortunate by keeping that much 258 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,200 Julie in a small house safe. It seems I violated the clause in the 259 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,200 contract. It should have been kept in a safety deposit box or some such. 260 00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:33,799 Consequently, the matter went into litigation. I'm afraid the court found me 261 00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:40,400 at fault. I collected only a part of the insured value twenty thousand dollars, 262 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,200 so you can see I certainly welcome and recovery. Sure, Julie was 263 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,960 in the family a good many years. I had given it to my wife 264 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:56,039 and I well, a man hates to lose things he loves. Yes, 265 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,759 I understand. Was missus McCormick here the morning it happened. Oh, I'd 266 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:06,000 like to talk to her. She's terribly busy, but if you think it's 267 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,559 sufficiently important, I'll call her. No, never mind, I'm curious, 268 00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:15,039 mister Dolla. This case has been closed a long time. At least no 269 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,000 one's contacted me or asked me for any information about it for at least four 270 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:25,640 years. What opened it? A man named Mike Ken, Well, who's 271 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,920 he? An all convict of it? Usening who shared a cell for a 272 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:33,920 while with a man named Joe Panny. Ken died yesterday, But before he 273 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,319 died, he told me he thought Panny had something to do with it. 274 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,839 He heard him mention your name. Well, it seems to me you should 275 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,920 talk with this Joe Penny. I did, and I will some more as 276 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,039 soon as I locate him again. Right now he's missing. Oh, I'm 277 00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:49,240 sorry. Well, thanks for the time, mister McCormick. You'll let me 278 00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:56,279 know you learn anything or do you honestly think you can recover that jewelry? 279 00:21:56,519 --> 00:22:02,079 But then he look at all that's would be wonderful, wonderful. Why, 280 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,599 yes, of course, missus McCormick might be glad to know about it too. 281 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,720 You said it was her jewelry. I don't know why I said that 282 00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:17,960 to him, just a sudden impulse. But he wasn't smiling when he walked 283 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,359 me to the door. Shook my hand and patted me on the shoulder. 284 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,440 I had a funny feeling that mister Julian McCormick was scared like a rabbit of 285 00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:30,480 me. I drove back to the city, had lunch at Walgreens, and 286 00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:33,559 dropped into Allied Casualti's New York office to pick up the folder on reward information. 287 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,799 I met Frank Porter and liked him right away. A big, redheaded 288 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,839 man in a tweet suit. Johnny, it makes me feel older than ever 289 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,160 doing this. I'll come well. I weighed fifteen pounds less when this case 290 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:51,359 started June nine. Here we are, and these are pictures and stuff. 291 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,799 Now that one they called Tierra del Couego some necklace, ike, you see 292 00:22:56,799 --> 00:23:00,240 why. Yeah, And this one was called Imperial in the Royal Family of 293 00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:06,480 Russia at one time. And this is the other one, placid, beautiful 294 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,839 stuff. Oh you can say that again. Is that all of me? 295 00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:11,640 Well, that's about the size of a Johnny one hundred thousand dollars gone. 296 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,480 Yeah, helping me. Sure, It's nice to know what I'm trying to 297 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,680 find. Well, I hope you have better luck and I did. Yeah, 298 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:25,240 say who was the police officer on the case. Martin duels Martin out 299 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,160 of central. Yeah, we ran down every lead we could find, big 300 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,880 and small. The final said, you made twelve arrests, you know, 301 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,319 something like that, but not one of them panned out. Had to let 302 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,119 them all go. Martin requested pickups on every big time jewelry man in the 303 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,720 country. Now, I don't think one of them was overlooked. Wow, 304 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,920 No, Johnny, somebody just simply walked in that house, opened the safe 305 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,200 as needed, you please, and walked right out with all of this very 306 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,279 slick job. Had to be an experienced man. Might have been a first 307 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,160 job for someone just starting in. He got lucky. Yeah, we thought 308 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,400 of that, and we didn't think much of it after a while. He 309 00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:56,519 where's Johnny? You know, nobody could be that lucky Chase the house knew 310 00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:00,720 exactly where the safe was, No, what was in it? Get in, 311 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,319 open it up, and get out without anybody, servants, the mccormicks, 312 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,279 or any of their friends even seeing. Yeah. Oh that wasn't even 313 00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:11,279 the hardest part. You see, not one scrap of this stuff has ever 314 00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:14,720 turned up anywhere. Yeah, anywhere? Now, what did whoever took it 315 00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:17,200 do with it? Did he break it down, sell it overseas, what 316 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,799 not a trace of it? Imagine that? You know what I think. 317 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,000 I think the guy who swiped all this stuff still has it. I think 318 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,799 he's sitting around waiting for it to cool off. Could be, but it's 319 00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:29,519 never gone to cool off. Johnny. There isn't a city in this country 320 00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:32,440 or across the ocean that isn't on the lookout for these pieces. I sup 321 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,039 now. Sooner or later, hot boy or a lucky boy, well, 322 00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:38,240 whoever is, we'll make a move. Meantime, we just wait, unless, 323 00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:41,160 of course, you've got something for us to look into. Not yet, 324 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,359 Frank, Yeah, Well when you have, we'll be right with you 325 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,039 all the way. Good good, How about a drink? Take a range 326 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,640 check? Okay, but remember we got a whole four full of lawyers upstairs. 327 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,160 They can get up warrants, ritch seize your orders, anything you might 328 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,720 want. You just let me know when you get somewhere, and we'll go 329 00:24:55,759 --> 00:25:04,480 to work. I'll do that, Frank. I left Frank Porter and went 330 00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:07,400 back over to the Pole office to see what had developed with Joe Pennie. 331 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,720 After all, if he didn't report in, he'd be in violation of his 332 00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:15,359 parole. Be in real trouble, but nothing had developed. He hadn't put 333 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,720 in the change of address. Nothing. So I went back to my hotel 334 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,559 and had some dinner. Then I shaved, changed my clothes, expense account 335 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,559 it him five dollars and a half cab fare. I garage my reddit car, 336 00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:30,400 went back to Central Police Station and pulled out the mug on Joe Penny 337 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,880 once more, hoping to get a line on some friends or relatives of his 338 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,240 where he might be staying up. Till then, things had been going pretty 339 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:42,039 routine. Then a clerk from the parole offices stepped across the hall. Hi, 340 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,200 mister Dollar, Hi thought it was you I saw on here. I 341 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,039 wasn't sure. How's it going? Fine? Fine? Doc? Your friend 342 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,920 Joe Joe Penny? Yet not today? Why? He seemed awful, anxious 343 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,759 to talk to him as well? I am, why don't you go see 344 00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:57,799 him? You're playing games. I've been trying to find out where he is 345 00:25:57,839 --> 00:26:02,160 all day. I already I told you you watch your I give it to 346 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,880 you half an hour ago when your phone when who phoned? Sure? About 347 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,920 half an hour ago? Look, Joe Panny call in and told me his 348 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,640 a dress? Yeah? I no, sooner set down a phone and you 349 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,160 call in and said, this is Johnny Dollar. Have you heard from Joe 350 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,920 Panny? What? I said? Yeah, I told you his address. 351 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,200 It's all what a dress to just say the Allen Hotel on one hundred and 352 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,000 fifteenth Street, same place he was before. What's the matter? You forget? 353 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,920 It took me ten minutes to get from the police station over to the 354 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,680 Allen Hotel, ten minutes of wondering who'd put in that call and use my 355 00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:36,359 name? I went up the stairs two at a time, up to the 356 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,799 second floor, and right at the top of the landing I bumped into a 357 00:26:38,839 --> 00:26:44,240 dark haired woman wearing a silver fernce. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't 358 00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:47,200 see this all right, you heard not at all. Please let me go 359 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,000 past. I'm in a hurr. Yeah, I'd be in a hurry too. 360 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,039 What do you mean gun? You should carry it on the inside of 361 00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:56,160 your purse. Oh, I suppose I take it fingernails. Give it to 362 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:03,599 me, all right, take it. She'd given it to me all right, 363 00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:04,920 right on the side of the head. It didn't knock me out, 364 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,400 but it did knock me off balance. So I tangle up with the hall 365 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,759 table and that gave her plenty of time to scurry down the stairs while I 366 00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:14,720 got out of the furniture and back on my feet. By the time I 367 00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:17,240 got down the stairs and out on the streets, she was nowhere in sight. 368 00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:22,039 Hmm, now, one yelled, I'm shot. No one did anything 369 00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:33,160 but what they were already doing. Where were you just now? You weren't 370 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,599 here at the front desk. I got back eating my dinner. Why nothing, 371 00:27:37,559 --> 00:27:41,319 you happen to see that woman who just ran through here? No, 372 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,000 tall, darkhaired woman about thirty war a mixed stole man. Yeah, oh, 373 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,799 you're kidding in this Jain. You still looking for Joe Penny. He 374 00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:52,079 lives here again, doesn't he? Yeah? Have you seen him? Where 375 00:27:52,160 --> 00:28:00,240 is he out? I sat down with myself and waited. Half an hour 376 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,839 later, when the clerk went back to finish his dinner, I stepped over 377 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,519 to the desk and borrowed his pass key and went back up the stairs to 378 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:22,000 room too ten. Wow, I didn't need the pass key, and I 379 00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:26,359 didn't need to doubt the clerk. Joe Penny wasn't there, but all of 380 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,000 his things were. The curtains were drawn and the windows closed. Every drawer 381 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,480 had been pulled out of every dresser. The mattress on the bed was slipped 382 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,119 from top to bottom, and the rug had been ripped and turned over. 383 00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:51,240 Expense account item six one dollar one drink from me. I left JoJo's room, 384 00:28:51,319 --> 00:28:55,079 went to the nearest bar, sat down and had a drink. A 385 00:28:55,119 --> 00:29:00,359 scared victim, a missing con a darkhaired woman wearing a mink and a gun, 386 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,720 and other things. Right then and there I decided that Mike Cann's tip 387 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:11,920 had been pretty good at that Johnny dollar. This is DULs Martin, Lieutenant 388 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,640 Martin. Yeah, that's right. I got a message you called while I 389 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,440 was out. Left this number. Yeah, I want to talk to you 390 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:22,079 about the McCormick case. Lieutenant McCormick, one hundred thousand dollars burglary out on 391 00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:25,680 Long Island back in nineteen fifty one. I was the officer in charge. 392 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,559 Who are you, insurance investigator? I got a tip to the next convict 393 00:29:29,599 --> 00:29:33,480 named Joe Panney might have pulled it. I'm at Panny's hotel. Well let 394 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,000 me know how you make out. Say listen, his room has been torn 395 00:29:36,039 --> 00:29:38,200 apart, every inch of it's been searched. And when I came here tonight, 396 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:45,240 I got socked by a woman with a gun, give me that address. 397 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,640 Expense accounts submitted by a special investigator Johnny Dollar did the Allied Casualty and 398 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,799 Insurance Company Limited Mark I'm Building, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an 399 00:29:56,799 --> 00:30:06,119 accounting of expenditures during my investigat of the McCormick. Patter expense account had him 400 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,480 seven two dollars two drinks for myself and Lieutenant Dules Martin, NYPD, A 401 00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:15,119 big, swarthy man who seemed to know what he was about. Martin looked 402 00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:18,240 over the damage done by the unknown ransacker of Joe Panny's room, questioned the 403 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,160 clerk, who was unable to furnish any helpful information. Then, because Joe 404 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:30,319 Penny was officially a parole violator, ordered a general pick him, he should 405 00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:33,039 be able to get our hands on him pretty soon. Dollar. I hope 406 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:36,799 it's that easy, Lieutenant. Any reason why it shouldn't be fairly routine? 407 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,079 No, just a feeling, I guess. I don't know. This whole 408 00:30:40,119 --> 00:30:42,119 matter has been flimsy. The tip was weak, but it seems to be 409 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:47,119 paying off. I think fits though I don't quite get all this. Dollar, 410 00:30:47,119 --> 00:30:49,640 how'd you comment on this? All? Mike Cairn died up at Sinsing 411 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,000 two days ago. Before he went, he told me he believed Joe Panny 412 00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:57,480 might have pulled them Acomick burglary. It didn't seem likely then, Hanny being 413 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,119 a small time autos even whatnot. But now it does, and view of 414 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,240 what's been happening lately, somebody sure warned something Panny might have. Judging from 415 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,799 that room, I never saw one taking a part better an expert search job. 416 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,279 Yeah, he, lieutenant, when you picked Choe Panny up, I'd 417 00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:15,680 like to be in on it. He's my only lead in this case, 418 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,279 and I want to talk to him again. And that's not asking too much, 419 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,400 now, Doughter, about this woman you saw pretty about thirty, dark 420 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,039 hair, good dresser, wore a silver Minx stole. The gun she saw 421 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,160 me with was a little one twenty five or maybe thirty two automatic. You 422 00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:33,960 think she might have done the searching in Joe's room? What do you think? 423 00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:36,880 She was flustered and upset when I bumped into her, anxious to get 424 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,519 away from the place, and of course the gun in her hand. Yeah, 425 00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:42,960 she sounded familiar to you in this neighborhood. No, No, could 426 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,519 be anybody. Yeah, Well, that's about litteleutenant. Yeah, no, 427 00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:52,519 I got Oh, thanks, I suppose you talked to McCormick, got the 428 00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:56,720 full story of the burglary from him almost first thing. Yeah, and I 429 00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:00,279 remember him when it first happened. Nice enough, but strange. I thought. 430 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,359 It's a business about somebody funding the parole office ahead of you to get 431 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,519 Joe Panney's address. That stops me, though. That's hard to figure you. 432 00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:10,480 Sure you're telling me everything. Sure, I'm sure that part sounds crazy, 433 00:32:12,039 --> 00:32:14,880 not if somebody knew I was looking for and wanted to get him first. 434 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,160 But who how should I know? Well, we will see what we 435 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,640 will see. Can I drop you anywhere? No, thanks, I'll walk. 436 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:29,640 You'll let me know when you pick him up. Sure. Two days 437 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,480 passed and I didn't hear from Lieutenant Martin. I finally phoned in and a 438 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:37,880 supplementary. It turned up no leaves. Martin had men watching Joe's hotel. 439 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:43,039 His former friends and acquaintances were being checked. Meanwhile, I decided to try 440 00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:45,599 and find out who the dark woman in the first stole had been. It 441 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,400 seemed pretty obvious that she had just come from Joe's room, that she knew 442 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,759 him or was connected with him. In some way. So once more I 443 00:32:53,799 --> 00:32:58,559 comed over Joe Panney's file at headquarters, this time looking for a woman's name. 444 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,359 The only one mentioned was an ex wife who had divorced him six years 445 00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:07,079 before. Her name was Iris Carter at the Bureau of Vital Statistics. The 446 00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:10,160 marriage certificate and record of divorce proceedings gave me a composite picture of an unhappy 447 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:15,519 and turbuneent three year marriage. It also gave me a general description of Iris 448 00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:19,119 Carter that could very well fit the woman I had seen briefly in the hallway 449 00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:22,000 outside Joe Panny's hotel room. There was a six year old address to start 450 00:33:22,079 --> 00:33:35,720 on than No, ma'am, I'm not unus. I don't know. I 451 00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:38,279 really don't know her. Well, what do you want? I'd like to 452 00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:42,480 talk to the manager. I want some information. What's your name, Johnny 453 00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:45,640 Dollar? What kind of information you're looking for? Are you the manager? 454 00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:49,920 Yes? I am, Well, I'm trying to locate a woman named Iris 455 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,720 Carter. She might have used the name Iris Panny. She was married once 456 00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:59,200 to a man named Joe Panny, lived here about six years ago. Were 457 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,400 you here then? That was? Did you know her? I did? 458 00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:07,039 Did you know him? Yeah, you went to jail. Did she live 459 00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:12,320 here now? She don't? Do you have any idea where I can find 460 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,920 her? I don't. Well, do you happen to know if she ever 461 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,719 worked her? Just to talk to her? When did she move on? 462 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:28,000 Oh? Long time ago, five years? Maybe? What's your business insurance? 463 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:35,360 Oh? Oh, nobody around here by his insurance. Oh, we 464 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,199 don't have to go into that. If you can think of any place I 465 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,159 might get a line on her, i'd appreciate it. It seems to me 466 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,360 she worked at a bookstore down the street, down what street? Out there 467 00:34:46,119 --> 00:34:50,039 block or two down that way? I think she worked there. I don't 468 00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:52,280 know who. You can try? Thank you, I will. Why you 469 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,519 pried, you took your head? So tell me? Do you remember what 470 00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:04,000 she looked like? Sort of? Yeah? Well, oh, about as 471 00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:07,599 tall as I am. Nice, pretty girl, blonde of brunette, dark 472 00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:15,760 here almost black. Know any of her friends when she lived here? No? 473 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,119 No, I couldn't tell you that. Why oh I might look up 474 00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:22,599 one of them and ask her about her, that's all you ask. If 475 00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:31,840 that bookstore? I think she worked there. The bookstore Iris Carter Panney had 476 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:37,079 worked in was as dismal as the neighborhood. The proprietor and Missus Owls yielded 477 00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:40,880 a little more helpful information than Iris Carter's former landlady. Yes, Iris had 478 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,159 worked there for about six months. She'd quit almost five years before. No, 479 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:55,159 she didn't know where to find her expense account item eight, one dollar 480 00:35:55,199 --> 00:36:00,000 and two cents lunch. I had it in a neighborhood diner called the Shovel 481 00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:05,039 Place, where Missus Ole said Iris Carter had frequently eaten. The restaurant manager 482 00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,880 remembered Iris vaguely. She also remembered Iris's boyfriend. I asked for a description. 483 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,679 She did better than that. She gave me his name, occupation, 484 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:29,679 and address, an old rehearsal hall two blocks away. The fireman combo working 485 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:34,639 there was really putting it up. Yeah, And the minute I saw him, 486 00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:37,239 I knew the boy wearing the trumpet was the one I was looking for. 487 00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:42,039 Just good looking and smooth enough to go with a girl. Iris Carder 488 00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:51,199 sounded like him. Smooth trumpet too. Okay, guys, take five, 489 00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:00,159 I'm looking for Jack Lang. I'm Johnny. Did we talk a minute? 490 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:07,199 It's about all I got, mister doll. We smoked. No thanks, 491 00:37:08,639 --> 00:37:14,239 Oh man gets real tired out about this time of day. Yeah, imagine 492 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,599 it does the way you put it out. Well, everybody to his own 493 00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:23,119 racket. That's yours insurance investigating. Okay, now what Well, I've been 494 00:37:23,159 --> 00:37:27,599 asking around the neighborhood and they tell me you once knew a girl named Iris 495 00:37:27,679 --> 00:37:32,559 Carter or Iris Panny Iris Carter on. I'd like to find her and talk 496 00:37:32,599 --> 00:37:36,440 to her, and I thought you might be able to help me. Go 497 00:37:36,559 --> 00:37:38,400 on, I want to talk to her ex husband. Most of all, 498 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,280 I thought somehow she might know where to find him these days. He's in 499 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:49,800 the can he was released three weeks ago. Any ideas, No, I 500 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,039 thought finding her might be a shortcut to him. I wouldn't think so. 501 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,800 They were all washed up when I know her? What was that five years 502 00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:00,719 ago? She hadn't seen him for over a year. Then, huh, 503 00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:04,840 she didn't have much use for him. I don't blame her. How long 504 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,360 did you know her? We went together for a while whilst you worked at 505 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:14,199 some crummy bookstore, and she moved away and I didn't see her after that. 506 00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:20,400 I think she said something about going back to Ohio. You think I 507 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,800 don't remember off, Well, let me put it this way, as far 508 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,400 as I know, she's in no trouble. The one we want is a 509 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,280 rex husband. You'd be helping a lot if you could tell me where to 510 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,920 find her. I don't know. I honestly don't know, and I sure 511 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:39,320 wish I did. I'd like to find her myself. Why well, when 512 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:45,880 she went with me, I well, it wasn't any good. I think 513 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,519 she just walked out because she was tired of loser's sick up to hear you 514 00:38:49,559 --> 00:38:52,400 know what I mean. Can't blame her. He gave her a pretty bad 515 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:57,360 time. I didn't do much better. But now I got something. It's 516 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,639 just a little five piece outfit, not much, but something. I'd like 517 00:39:00,679 --> 00:39:06,920 to show it to her and say, iris is his mine. You kind 518 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,159 of had it bad? Huh bad? Is a guy like me can get 519 00:39:09,199 --> 00:39:14,880 it? I know I'll probably never see her again as long as I live 520 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:21,960 BOFE, and never another one like her ever shows up. I'm gonna be 521 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:30,679 ready toad ever see it. No, she must have been something. Take 522 00:39:30,679 --> 00:39:37,679 a look nice? Yeah, I take it back. What about seeing her? 523 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:45,840 I've seen her two nights ago in the hallway outside Joe Penny's robe. 524 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,519 You sure, I'm sure she hit me with a gun before she left. 525 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,760 The picture he had flipped out of his wallet was old and well thumbed. 526 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,119 It showed a sultry kind of face that could have been twenty or thirty or 527 00:40:00,119 --> 00:40:05,559 forty, a wide, frank, smiling, happy mouth. Not the kind 528 00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:08,159 of girl I would imagine could ever be married to with Joe Penny, but 529 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,880 there was no doubt about it. She had been married to him, and 530 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,000 I had seen her. On my way back to the hotel, I dropped 531 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,800 into check with Lieutenant Martin. Hi, Hi, doing any good? Any 532 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,760 lead on Joe Penny? And I think so far this may take longer than 533 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,480 I thought at first. Well, I've been not looking for his ex wife. 534 00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:25,960 I didn't find her, but I found a few people knew her. 535 00:40:27,559 --> 00:40:30,360 She was the one at his hotel the other night. Names Iris, Cardiff. 536 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:31,960 You sure positive I saw a picture. We better try to pick her 537 00:40:32,039 --> 00:40:35,320 up too. I'll put it out right away. Fine, I'll keep him 538 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,079 telling Oh wait a minute, don't go huh. We had some action here 539 00:40:38,079 --> 00:40:45,119 today. Sit down. Thanks. Julian McCormick called up reported you. He 540 00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:47,159 said you came out there bothered him a couple days ago. He said he 541 00:40:47,159 --> 00:40:50,960 doesn't want to be bothered. Well, I only talked to him to get 542 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,280 his story on the burglary, and I told him, as long as you 543 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,599 didn't break the law, there was nothing we could do to stop you from 544 00:40:54,639 --> 00:40:59,719 investigating. But he didn't like it. He seemed perfectly willing to cooperate with 545 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,480 me when I talked to him before it. Well, sometimes he's rich. 546 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:08,400 Excuse me, Martin here, that's right? Well, how long ago? 547 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:15,239 Okay? Well they found your boy, Joe Penny. What. Yeah, 548 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:20,039 he's on his way to the Morgue. Harbor patrol picked up his body a 549 00:41:20,039 --> 00:41:23,199 couple of hours ago, loaded down with slugs, some case. And that 550 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:30,280 ain't all Johnny Huh. His feet were burned, Johnny Dellar. Frank Porter 551 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,239 allied casually. How's it going, kid? I don't know you ever find 552 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,400 Joe Penny. The harbor patrol found him floating around the harbor. He'd been 553 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:42,800 shot and his feet were burnt. She was torture. Well, what can 554 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,320 I do to help find a girl who was once married to him? Joe 555 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,679 Penny had a wife. Yeah, she wears a man stool these days and 556 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,760 carries a gun. She's tied out with it somewhere. Her name's Iris Carter 557 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,119 Iris Carter, you met her just long enough to get slug with her gun. 558 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,880 Well, wait a minute that I'd like to get it all. Can 559 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:08,800 I come over? I'll be here. Expense accounts submitted by a special investigator, 560 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:14,239 Johnny Dollar to the Allied Casually and Insurance Company Limited, Markham Building, 561 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:19,079 Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of 562 00:42:19,079 --> 00:42:27,119 the McCormick matter. Expense account Item nine fourteen dollars even secretarial services. I 563 00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:30,199 dictated a detailed report of one hundred thousand dollars McCormack case. I did it 564 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:35,119 for two reasons, One to make certain that Allied and the New York Police 565 00:42:35,119 --> 00:42:37,639 were thaoroughly informed of my part of the matter, and two to review the 566 00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:42,679 case for my own benefit. One of the key figures, Joe Panney was 567 00:42:42,679 --> 00:42:46,159 a murder victim. Attached as a copy of that report. I tried to 568 00:42:46,159 --> 00:42:50,760 cover as closely as possible my conversation with Mike Kern at Sing Sing when he 569 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,280 tipped me off that Joe Panney had something to do with the McCormick burglary of 570 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:59,400 five years ago. Also one conversation with Joe Panny, his subsequent disappearance, 571 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,360 and I had a copy for Frank Porter. When he showed up at my 572 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:07,800 room, he read it from top to bottom. Jeep, whitch, Johnny. 573 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,400 If this isn't something you come here for. Joe Penny, it looks 574 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:15,239 like he did the McCormick job. Now he's dead, you're stopped. What 575 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,840 can you do? Find his wife? Maybe you're doing this at your own 576 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,360 expense, aren't you. Oh? I think your company will pay for it 577 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,519 in time. You have to recover the stuff. I know you think you 578 00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:27,960 will. I think so ya. Your key man's dead. You have to 579 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,280 start all over again. Maybe not. I don't really know whether Joe Penning 580 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:36,079 was my key man or not. I still can't see a small time auto 581 00:43:36,119 --> 00:43:38,880 thief working a big, slick safe burglary. Every indication is that he was 582 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:43,599 the one. I know. I like to find that girl, Iris Carter 583 00:43:43,639 --> 00:43:46,320 and talk to her about it. She's connected with it now from what you 584 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:51,599 say on the paper, Yeah very much. Oh jee whiz. I feel 585 00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:53,239 like a fifth wheel. I'm not helping you a bit. You know. 586 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,039 I handled this case for the company when it first broke. I worked with 587 00:43:57,119 --> 00:43:59,800 Lieutenant Martin for six months on it and we didn't turn up a thing. 588 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,159 You're on a three four days and you have all kinds of action. Well, 589 00:44:02,199 --> 00:44:06,519 I must have stepped in at the right time. Yeah, Johnny, 590 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,119 somebody gunned Joe Panny down. I know you like to work alone, do 591 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,920 things your own way, but be careful if you stay on this. I 592 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,960 get worried when somebody starts shooting. Oh sure, I didn't get that though, 593 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,280 But if I keep on this, I wouldn't let it go. Now 594 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,360 if my life depended on it. I'm going to find that woman, and 595 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:30,480 I'm going to find the stuff. Sure well, Jeeve wish, don't let 596 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:37,400 anything happen to you. I won't. I talked some more with Frank Porter 597 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:42,119 about the case. He repeated his offer in the name of Allied casually to 598 00:44:42,159 --> 00:44:45,159 help if he could. I told him I'd take it up on it if 599 00:44:45,199 --> 00:44:49,000 anything came up at all. He left. I was at Central Police Station 600 00:44:49,039 --> 00:44:52,239 ten minutes later, and five minutes after that, Lieutenant Duels Martin was calling 601 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:57,239 for the medical examiner's report on Joe Panni's death. A uniform man bought it 602 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,800 in. Martin shoved it across the desk at me. The emmy says, 603 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:07,239 Joe Panny's been dead about forty eight hours or longer to twenty five slugs right 604 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,719 through the chest, penetrated both lungs, one through the neck. It's very 605 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:15,079 neat shooting at that range. What range? All? At least twenty feet 606 00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:20,079 maybe longer. Not many people shoot twenty Five's that? Well it's a little 607 00:45:20,159 --> 00:45:23,360 gun, a woman's gun. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm thinking. 608 00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:28,159 Now, let's talk about that woman you saw around there that night. How 609 00:45:28,199 --> 00:45:31,440 you say it was Panny's X Yeah, I risk conner. I don't know 610 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,840 whether her gun was a twenty five or thirty two. Well, think of 611 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,280 I have look, don't get zor with me. It's just that she looks 612 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:42,800 like better than ever for opening this case up, I put her on all 613 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,119 points. Sorry, I got around. That's all right now. The emmy 614 00:45:46,199 --> 00:45:50,800 thinks that Panny was killed before he was dumped in the water, possibly ambushed 615 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,599 by someone he didn't know or didn't trust. If he's right about the range, 616 00:45:53,639 --> 00:45:57,800 did it fit in someone who knew him would do it close up? 617 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,719 Yeah? They wait, you said his feet were burns. Yeah, I 618 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,920 got the pictures here to prove it. Mayn't take a look. And these 619 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:10,480 are the glasses. Huh. Now, these are the burns here, right, 620 00:46:10,519 --> 00:46:16,800 here, here, and here. Then he wasn't ambushed exactly. Look 621 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:22,039 I don't know what he was, but this is the crazy part. He 622 00:46:22,159 --> 00:46:27,199 was already dead when this happened. No rope marks on his legs are wrists. 623 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,360 You don't sit still for burning, no matter how tough you are. 624 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,920 It's fascinating. Then someone shot him down and tried to make it look like 625 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,199 he was tortured for information. First cover up. He's supposed to look like 626 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:43,239 he knew something or had something. And maybe he didn't know or have anything 627 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,440 at all. Oh, how do you feel? Well? He If the 628 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,079 burning was cover up, then maybe the big search of his room was cover 629 00:46:49,159 --> 00:46:52,440 up too, to throw us off, to throw you off, not me. 630 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:57,639 I wasn't in on it. Then, yeah, well one thing that's 631 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:07,440 genuine. What's that? An hour and a half later, a witness was 632 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:12,679 delivered to the office of Lieutenant Martin. His name was Edmund Thompson. He 633 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,800 sold papers in the dock area. Both Martin and I looked at him twice, 634 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,639 and I could tell both of us were doubting the credulity of anything he 635 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:25,199 might have to say. Why I my name's Martin. This is mister Dollar. 636 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,000 Yes, sir, glad to know you both. Now, would you 637 00:47:30,079 --> 00:47:35,880 mind telling us everything you saw the other night? Tuesday night? Here it 638 00:47:36,039 --> 00:47:38,800 was Tuesday. Sure, why not? I saw this guy dumped in the 639 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:44,840 water. We understand that. Can you tell us the circumstances. It's against 640 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:51,079 the will of God, as it certainly is against the laws of nature too. 641 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,039 What did you see, mister Thompson? I prayed for him both. 642 00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:02,760 You tried, Dollar? When did you pray right after I saw it? 643 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,920 Yes, sir? On the street, huh No, I was on the 644 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,440 vacant lot. I was cutting across towards the dark. Oh. Then I 645 00:48:12,519 --> 00:48:15,480 see this car pull, a long black car, a lot of chrome on 646 00:48:15,679 --> 00:48:20,360 it. This fellow jumps out and goes around at the back. He opens 647 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,639 the trunk and he pulls this other fellow out, hoists him up, and 648 00:48:24,679 --> 00:48:30,840 he carries him over the don Then he just lets him go. Then you 649 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:37,800 prayed, Then I prayed. I was a little too scared to do anything 650 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,800 else. This car. The man had long black, one lot of chrome. 651 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:49,719 Sedana cope, what's the difference? Two seats in one seat? One 652 00:48:50,079 --> 00:48:52,840 happened to get the license number. All right, all right, let that 653 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:58,559 go. How about the man? Can you describe him? He stood there, 654 00:48:59,079 --> 00:49:02,000 looked down at the water order and started himself as cigarette. Well what 655 00:49:02,119 --> 00:49:05,719 kind of a face did he have? Dark light? A mustache? What 656 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:13,559 a devil's face? Now? What does that mean? The devil? Mister 657 00:49:13,639 --> 00:49:15,679 Thompson, do you understand that we want to apprehend this man, that he's 658 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:21,159 responsible for one man's death, and then he might harm someone else. I'll 659 00:49:21,199 --> 00:49:25,280 pray for him, pray for them all. Well, how was he dressed? 660 00:49:27,639 --> 00:49:34,719 Didn't notice hat? But he had a long black coupei? Do you 661 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,880 know the make? Nope? Would you know him if you saw him again? 662 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,079 No? Look, when you saw him dump a body into the water, 663 00:49:43,119 --> 00:49:46,480 why didn't you notify the police? Why should it's police business? Let 664 00:49:46,519 --> 00:49:52,239 them take care of their business. I'll take care of mine. Any of 665 00:49:52,239 --> 00:50:00,280 you fellows? Got a cigarette and I left Lutenant and Martin brooding over his 666 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:05,079 witness, went out for a white at dinner. When I called him later, 667 00:50:05,119 --> 00:50:07,480 he hadn't learned anything more. So I decided to call it a night 668 00:50:07,519 --> 00:50:10,280 and went back to my hotel. I found a note waiting for me from 669 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:15,039 Jack Lang, the band leader friend of Iris Carter said he got a tip 670 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,679 she'd worked at one time at the Elmar Theater in the Bronx. If I 671 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:22,079 learned anything, please let him know he was still in love with her el 672 00:50:22,159 --> 00:50:34,400 Mar Theater. I decided my night was far from over.

Stick around, I'll change back the screen. 684 00:51:17,679 --> 00:51:22,480 Okay, I'm glory you Ward? Who are you? Johnny Dollar? What 685 00:51:22,519 --> 00:51:27,000 do you want with Iriscotta? I want to see her and tell her something? 686 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,159 Tell me, well, for one thing, Her ex husband's dead. 687 00:51:30,599 --> 00:51:37,800 What better watch that screen? Oh say that again, Joe Panney? Her 688 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:43,519 ex husband's dead? Kid that no good? Buma's really dead? Where can 689 00:51:43,559 --> 00:51:45,760 I find it?

When you heard me mention her name. You've satisfied 692 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,280 yourself that I'm really looking for. So suppose you get with me, mister. 693 00:51:55,360 --> 00:52:01,639 I'm not satisfied about anything. She got herself married to a nice guy. 694 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,400 Good for her? Is she in town? You sure? You just 695 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,920 want to see her until her Joe's dead? That's about it. I thought 696 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,440 maybe she might be able to help me and the police find out who killed 697 00:52:10,519 --> 00:52:14,800 him. He was killed two days ago. They found his body today. 698 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,559 You know about that? You a cop, I'm an insurance investigator, and 699 00:52:19,639 --> 00:52:22,519 you have to see her. You want to put in writing? Don't get 700 00:52:22,599 --> 00:52:28,440 nahaf. What I'm getting at is this quick change? Eh? Now? 701 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,239 Listen, Iris is good, you know what I mean? And she's married 702 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:35,840 to a nice guy. Now will any of this make a trouble? Not? 703 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,199 If she hasn't done anything wrong? Well, I can tell you. 704 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:42,519 She hasn't but does make trouble. It be a shame. She set up 705 00:52:42,599 --> 00:52:45,079 nice and I like to see a girl, said, well, don't you 706 00:52:45,119 --> 00:52:50,440 certainly. I haven't seen her almost since she left here, but you look 707 00:52:50,519 --> 00:52:52,960 like a right kind of guy. I believe you. Thanks Gloria. She 708 00:52:53,039 --> 00:53:01,760 lives out in Long Island now. Her name's McCormick, Iris McCormick. By 709 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,920 the time I said goodbye to Glory and walked out the stage door and got 710 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,119 out into the alley, I thought I had most of it. The ex 711 00:53:08,159 --> 00:53:13,199 wife of an ex Cohn married a wealthy Long Islander named mccomack. When the 712 00:53:13,199 --> 00:53:17,239 honeymoon was over, the safe was robbed. Walking out that alley, I 713 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:37,960 was wondering whether to phone the police or allied casually. First shooting. You've 714 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:42,519 been hit. It isn't bad. Did you see him? I see nobody. 715 00:53:42,559 --> 00:53:44,800 The car. See the car the one that just got out? I 716 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,519 ought the car. We had a long black coop a lot of chrome. 717 00:53:46,679 --> 00:53:50,639 A fellow didn't have his lights on it. Hey, that's against the law. 718 00:53:51,960 --> 00:54:01,840 Hey you need help, mister No, No, I'm Johnny Dollar ready 719 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,880 with your party in Hartford, Connecticut. Mister Dollar, go ahead, please 720 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,920 hello, mister bart. Yes, this is Johnny Dollar. Johnny, what's 721 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:13,079 up? I listened carefully ed. I've just been shot. Why, Oh, 722 00:54:13,079 --> 00:54:15,880 it's nothing serious on backstage at the Elmar Theater in the Bronx. Johnny, 723 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,880 I'm all right now, listen to me. I got a tip from 724 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,159 old Mike Cairn, a convict, that a man named Joe Panney might have 725 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,119 had something to do with the McCormick case a few years ago. Yes, 726 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:30,000 jewelry case hundred thousand dollars. Oh, Panny's been murdered. I didn't get 727 00:54:30,039 --> 00:54:32,400 a chance to learn anything from him, but I have learned that Panny's ex 728 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:37,760 wife is married to Julian McCormick. You've contacted our New York office. I've 729 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,079 been trying to get your man, Frank Porter at his home, but no 730 00:54:39,119 --> 00:54:43,840 one answers. It's gonna be pretty nasty for Allied casually if she plotted with 731 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,039 this Joe Penny to Rob mccomick. Yeah. Do you want me to wait 732 00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:49,679 and let Frank Porter handle it? No? No, No, you go 733 00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:53,559 ahead. If somebody's throwing bullets around, they'd better be stopped before well, 734 00:54:53,840 --> 00:55:04,840 by me rather than Frank Porter. Huh okay. Expense account submitted by a 735 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,159 special investigator, Johnny Dollar, to the Allied Casualty and Insurance Company Limited, 736 00:55:08,199 --> 00:55:13,840 Markham Building, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures incurred 737 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:20,880 during my investigation of the McCormick matter. I'm eleven seven dollars and a half 738 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,159 one bottle of Scotch, which I sent the stage dorman out to get while 739 00:55:23,159 --> 00:55:28,800 I was calling it barth at Allied Insurance. Apparently everybody in the neighborhood through 740 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,000 thought. The exchange of shots between me and somebody in a long black cope 741 00:55:31,039 --> 00:55:35,880 were backfires. It was the dorman who dragged me back in the theater. 742 00:55:37,159 --> 00:55:40,639 You got yourself a boy, now, mister, just a grace, I 743 00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:45,440 should don't get you corner assures people an appoli. Somebody fires to god, 744 00:55:45,559 --> 00:55:49,079 you call the cops. Have another drink? That's hey, Hey, where 745 00:55:49,079 --> 00:55:55,000 are you going? You shoul see a doctor, lady. I went back 746 00:55:55,039 --> 00:55:59,440 outside in the alley where the shooting had taken place. Ten minutes are looking 747 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,119 around and I'd like a pair of thirty eight slugs out of a telephone. 748 00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:12,280 Post expense account out of twelve four dollars and thirty five cents campfare elmar Theatre 749 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,400 to Long Island. It was twelve o'clock straight up. When I got to 750 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,280 the McCormick home. There were no lights burning, and apparently everyone had retired 751 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:23,519 for the night. I checked the garage first, a fifty five Cadillac convertible 752 00:56:23,559 --> 00:56:28,639 and a four year old Jay. No warm motors, no black coops. 753 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:38,280 I went to the house. Oh it's you, hello, missus McCarthy. 754 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:43,400 No, no, please, please don't come in here, my husband please. 755 00:56:44,199 --> 00:56:45,119 I don't know who you are, but I remember meeting you at the 756 00:56:45,119 --> 00:56:51,599 hotel. I'm Johnny Dollar, an insurance investigating insurance. Well, there must 757 00:56:51,639 --> 00:56:52,960 be some way we can fix this up. Talk to me tomorrow. I'll 758 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:57,679 meet you somehow. How can you fix up? Murder? Murder? What 759 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,639 are you talking about? Joe Panny's dead ex husband. He was shot with 760 00:57:00,639 --> 00:57:04,840 a twenty five, just like the one you swung at me at the hotel. 761 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:09,440 Oh no, you want to tell me about that, all right, 762 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:14,880 I'll tell you. Joe was your husband once you helped him rob this house 763 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,320 five years ago. He couldn't have done it alone. He wasn't that slick, 764 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,199 he wasn't that good. He could steal a car, but a safe 765 00:57:21,199 --> 00:57:27,679 lock's different from ignition. Well, yes, yes, I helped him do 766 00:57:27,719 --> 00:57:30,719 it. He made me, he promised me if I helped him, I'd 767 00:57:30,719 --> 00:57:34,360 never hear from him again. I hope him the safe for him. But 768 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,760 you were down to see him at his hotel the other night. You searched 769 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,199 his room, searched his room. Yeah, well, I don't know anything 770 00:57:39,239 --> 00:57:43,000 about that. He called me, said he wanted money. I didn't know 771 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,679 where he'd been for these last few years up the river. Oh well, 772 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,800 he wanted money. Only he wasn't there when I went there, and I 773 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,519 was yes, and the gun. I went down there to kill him, 774 00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:57,039 But I didn't see him. Not then later somewhere. I hadn't seen him 775 00:57:57,039 --> 00:57:58,960 at all. I tell you, just talked to him on the phone. 776 00:58:00,079 --> 00:58:02,480 I don't suppose it didn't make any difference if I told you I had a 777 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:07,960 good reason. If I told you I loved my husband very much, not 778 00:58:07,199 --> 00:58:10,159 likely in view of the fact you helped your ex husband rob him of one 779 00:58:10,199 --> 00:58:14,280 hundred thousand dollars worth a jewelry five years ago. Oh, I can explain 780 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,559 that Joe came around when we got back from my honeymoon. It's an old 781 00:58:17,599 --> 00:58:24,000 story. My past isn't all well anyhow. Joe threatened to tell my husband 782 00:58:24,039 --> 00:58:27,960 about it unless I gave him money. I didn't have any, so I 783 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,119 opened the safe for him that night. It was all I could think to 784 00:58:30,159 --> 00:58:34,400 do. Yeah, then you split with him later on. I told you 785 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,920 I haven't seen him. Why would I want to do that. I have 786 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:43,119 everything I want in life right here, mostly my husband. Well, that's 787 00:58:43,119 --> 00:58:45,840 still a police madam. Missus mccomick. I spent a long time looking for 788 00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:51,960 you. Maybe you better get your coat irish. You'll remain exactly where you 789 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,159 are, Julian, And so will you, mister Dollar. Julian, you 790 00:58:54,199 --> 00:58:58,639 heard what I said, and don't worry about it. My dear mister Dollar, 791 00:58:59,199 --> 00:59:01,639 I'm a gentleman. But this is a gun. I noticed thirty eight. 792 00:59:02,199 --> 00:59:05,239 I got a couple of slugs in my pocket that came from it. 793 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,000 Stand over there. Now, this is pretty silly. You can put that 794 00:59:07,079 --> 00:59:10,840 thing away and we can settle this. Anyways, told you the absolute truth 795 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:15,559 is the Dollar. She's innocent of any wrongdoing so far as I'm concerned. 796 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:20,239 Is that clear? It's pretty glib McCormick. She's accessory to one hundred thousand 797 00:59:20,239 --> 00:59:22,199 dollars heist, and she hasn't done anything wrong. If she wanted to give 798 00:59:22,239 --> 00:59:28,039 them away my ex husband to anybody that was her affair, I would not 799 00:59:28,159 --> 00:59:30,960 press charges. Well, that takes scare of you. How are you going 800 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,079 to square it with Allied casually in the state of New York? And you 801 00:59:34,159 --> 00:59:37,239 also forget a little matter of a dead man. But I haven't forgotten you, 802 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,519 mister dollar. Julian, Please don't. I've caused enough trouble. Please 803 00:59:39,599 --> 00:59:44,599 calm yourself, my dear, This is the least I can do for you 804 00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:51,519 after what you've done for me just being my wife. Mister Dollar, will 805 00:59:51,519 --> 01:00:00,679 you accept money not enough for murder? Fifty one hundred thousand to kill you? 806 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:04,000 Mister Dollar? You tried once tonight. You referred to that before, 807 01:00:04,039 --> 01:00:06,320 but you weren't very good, and now you're even worse. You forgot to 808 01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:14,360 take the safety off that gun. Oh ah, he's all right, Get 809 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:22,599 out of the wine. Let me see that gun. I wasn't interested in 810 01:00:22,599 --> 01:00:25,400 either one of them. For the moment I was looking at the thirty eight 811 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:30,639 I'd taken from Julian McCormick. There was a smear of cosmoline still inside the 812 01:00:30,639 --> 01:00:34,760 barrel. I sniffed it, checked and found all chambers loaded. It was 813 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:44,159 a brand new weapon and it had never been fired. Expense account item thirteen 814 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,440 five dollars and a half cab fare again, this time from Long Island to 815 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:51,719 an apartment in Queen's. The man I wanted to see was Allied Casualty's man, 816 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:57,679 Frank Porter. He lived in a very polite neighborhood. That's apartment two 817 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,480 three. But mister Porter is not in. I'll wait for him. Yes, 818 01:01:01,519 --> 01:01:06,199 sir, it's all right if I sit in your lobby, isn't it. 819 01:01:06,239 --> 01:01:08,599 Oh, yes, sir, yes, but I'd prefer that you waited 820 01:01:08,639 --> 01:01:14,119 somewhere else. He was, this is a rather exclusive apartment buildings, and 821 01:01:14,159 --> 01:01:17,480 we don't like people loitering in the lobby. Well, I'm on a pretty 822 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:22,519 exclusive mission. But you don't like the mud on my clothes and the tear 823 01:01:22,559 --> 01:01:25,719 on my coat? Are you a friend of mister Porter? Yeah, good 824 01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:30,400 friend. He wouldn't mind if I waited in his apartment, if that's what 825 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:37,719 you mean, No, sir, impossible, But a couple of bucks can 826 01:01:37,719 --> 01:01:44,679 do wonders sometimes. It was quite a lay on books, pictures, furniture 827 01:01:44,679 --> 01:01:49,880 and whatnots that make living at home pretty agreeable. I prought myself up on 828 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,239 a stool of Frank's little bar, poured myself a drink, and sat there 829 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:57,840 waiting for him. I was like that a half an hour later when he 830 01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:04,800 showed up, he looked a little unstane on his feet with Johnny dollar II. 831 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,719 He was the last person in the world I expect to see that light 832 01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:13,559 and let you in. I didn't think it mine, No, not all. 833 01:02:14,159 --> 01:02:16,119 I tried to phone you earlier tonight you were out. I'm sorry, 834 01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:22,199 what's her name of mine? Johnny? I wanted to tell you I was 835 01:02:22,199 --> 01:02:24,000 shot at tonight. Well, I wanted to tell you I found out who 836 01:02:24,039 --> 01:02:29,599 missus McCormick is and was. Since you were on the case first for Allied, 837 01:02:29,719 --> 01:02:32,360 I thought i'd tell you first what you wish. See. This is 838 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:37,400 a nice setup, full of nice things. I've been in places like this 839 01:02:37,519 --> 01:02:42,960 before, Frank. They usually started three hundred or better a month, but 840 01:02:43,119 --> 01:02:46,880 made service, phone service. All those things cost money, A lot of 841 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:53,639 money, don't they, Frank with when you tumbled to it, Johnny. 842 01:02:54,239 --> 01:02:58,920 A little while ago, when I was out on Long Island, Julian McCormick 843 01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:02,480 made me a proposition He finally offered me one hundred thousand dollars, a lot 844 01:03:02,519 --> 01:03:07,800 of money. He sounded like he'd had experience making propositions. I should have 845 01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,440 tumbled to it a couple of days ago. When you phoned the parole office 846 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:14,800 after I left you. He used my name when you asked for Joe Panney's 847 01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,840 address. Yeah. I wondered if your tip was on the right track, 848 01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,480 and figured Joe Panny was eligible for paroles so quick I had to get to 849 01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:27,039 him before you did. He wasn't a kit and keep his mouth shut. 850 01:03:27,199 --> 01:03:30,639 You shut it for him, didn't you, Frank mind if I said, 851 01:03:30,639 --> 01:03:34,360 don Johnny, now go ahead, they'll be strapping it down one of these 852 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:39,280 days. Gee wish no. One hundred and a half a week investigating claims 853 01:03:39,599 --> 01:03:45,320 by nice places like this. It was one of those lucky things, Johnny. 854 01:03:45,719 --> 01:03:49,360 When I was called to Long Island to investigate that heist five years ago, 855 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,440 I met McCormick's wife, happened to recognize her as Joe Penny, and 856 01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:57,079 you knew McCormick was in love with his wife enough to pay you to keep 857 01:03:57,159 --> 01:04:00,920 quiet, and I gave him service for your money. The cops would have 858 01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,480 broken at case in twenty four hours. But I covered up all the tracks 859 01:04:03,519 --> 01:04:09,199 I can find, and I made it real safe by seeing Joe send up 860 01:04:09,199 --> 01:04:13,280 the river. How just tipped off the cops to some of these hot car 861 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,400 deals, and he picked him up. He happened to be carrying a gun, 862 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:20,039 so he got the works. Then you just sat around drawing blackmail from 863 01:04:20,079 --> 01:04:24,920 McCormick. Chief. Ways, don't look at me like that, Johnny. 864 01:04:25,599 --> 01:04:30,039 Every guy has a price, how about you. That's the second offer I've 865 01:04:30,039 --> 01:04:33,760 had tonight. It's a good one. Joe Penny was a dumb guy. 866 01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:38,079 He picked up that jewelian, went right down town and punked it in a 867 01:04:38,119 --> 01:04:41,679 safe deposit box. It's been sitting there all the time he was up the 868 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,679 rivers. Still worth for? Sorry, Frank you sure? I'm sure? 869 01:04:46,639 --> 01:04:53,039 Chief, Chief wish Johnny, you are a good dick. You don't buy 870 01:04:53,079 --> 01:04:58,639 off. I just wanted to see. I get sure, Frank, Well, 871 01:04:59,559 --> 01:05:02,920 so we go in quietly. You'd be surprised, Johnny, how quiet? 872 01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,679 You better dial for an ambulance if you want me to go to to 873 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:13,000 try or you were good in nelly back of the theater denight, Johnny, 874 01:05:13,039 --> 01:05:16,280 when I tried to knock you off. I followed you all night looking for 875 01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:24,159 my chance. You nicked me twice. Dalard Duck quick, quick, jeez, 876 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:38,960 where is it hurts? He died right there without saying hid the disposition 877 01:05:39,039 --> 01:05:42,719 of the case and what to do about Frank Porter an insurance adjuster who goes 878 01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:49,119 bad and as a matter I don't have to handle and I'm glad.

Roy Rowan, speaking welcome 894 01:08:06,079 --> 01:08:13,960 back. I think that there were definitely virtues to the way we went through 895 01:08:14,159 --> 01:08:20,520 the series originally, and I also think that there is a virtue in listening 896 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:25,199 to it as an omnibus format. You get a different experience. With the 897 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:30,039 serial format, you really got the feel of this suspense from day to day 898 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:36,680 as we went from Monday through Friday waiting for the case to be resolved. 899 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:42,159 However, when you listen to it as an omnibus format, you kind of 900 01:08:42,199 --> 01:08:47,800 see the story develop differently. I think we had a lot more clues and 901 01:08:48,319 --> 01:08:54,880 it was a lot clearer and easier to follow. I saw the clues to 902 01:08:54,920 --> 01:09:00,159 the insurance adjuster's guilt more clearly as the story went on, with this sort 903 01:09:00,159 --> 01:09:06,359 of battle of wits going on unbeknownst to Johnny. I think when you listen 904 01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:12,439 to it the first time, you're almost really surprised at the end when it 905 01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:16,239 comes out the way that it does, because the clues were pretty subtle throughout. 906 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:24,399 However, you have perhaps a better opportunity to catch the whole thing and 907 01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,439 all the little clues if you listen to it altogether. And we will be 908 01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:33,279 back with two more of these omnibus specials during our listener support campaign. Speaking 909 01:09:33,319 --> 01:09:38,560 of which you can support it support Dot Great Detectives dot net.
