1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,240 For your listening enjoyment. John lund As, Johnny Dollar, Dave Brace, 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:13,119 Johnny Plymouth, Mutual Oh hied Dave, Johnny Sapphire is a bad let. 3 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,480 Yeah, I saw black cats. Cats don't get stolen, or at least 4 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,160 we don't ensure them. I what does the name Benny Stark mean anything to 5 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:29,359 you? Benny? Sorry? Yeah, jewel thief a couple of convictions. 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,759 I haven't heard of him lately. Are you hearing now? He called us 7 00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:37,320 from Rockport, outside of Chicago, wants to talk with you. He apparently 8 00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:43,159 has the sapphire neckmar who's your client, Dave named Helen Bowley? God, 9 00:00:43,759 --> 00:00:48,799 people you in Rockport society, I've already made your playing in hotel divisions and 10 00:00:48,920 --> 00:01:00,359 Jave, Benny your name right here. I have a few words to say, 11 00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:06,359 and I'll say them as quickly as possible. You know, someone once 12 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,400 said that everyone and everything in America depends on speed, and that as our 13 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:17,200 country grows older, we all move faster. But it wasn't much more than 14 00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:22,040 one hundred years ago that the fastest anyone could travel was at the speed of 15 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:25,959 a running horse, which wasn't very fast when you compare it to the speed 16 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,079 of our latest jet plane and talk about going to the moon at twenty five 17 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,920 thousand miles an hour. And during that same one hundred years or so, 18 00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:42,319 we've grown from the first crude telegraph to the perfection of color television. Yes, 19 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:48,480 this increased speed in transportation, communication, and everything else has changed almost 20 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,519 everything in our country, including the cabinet of the United States. For example, 21 00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:57,519 up to World War II, there wasn't any reason why the War and 22 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:04,879 Navy departments should be directly responsible to the president. But then there was a 23 00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:09,719 growing need for the speeding up of military action and decision, calling for unified 24 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,840 commands and the more closely knit integration of military activities. Thus, our Department 25 00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:22,439 of Defense was born, creating a new cabinet post to coordinate and to execute 26 00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:28,199 the overall general policies relating to the armed forces, and the Secretary heading this 27 00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:35,080 new Department of Defense became the representative to the President for the newly designated secretaries 28 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,680 of the Army, Navy, and more recently, the Air Force. In 29 00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:44,039 the future, our fast moving world may add even more members to the President's 30 00:02:44,039 --> 00:03:04,120 cabinet to ensure the safety and well being of our United States. Expense account 31 00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:08,360 submitted by special Investigator Johnny Daughter to home office, Plymouth Mutual Insurance Company, 32 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,800 Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of 33 00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:24,639 the Boreguard matter xpenser count utem one fifty eight dollars and forty cents airfare and 34 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,879 incidental to Rockport, Illinois. I checked into the Bleaker Hotel and waited for 35 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,919 a contact from one Benny Stark jewel See. I planned to see the Borreguards 36 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,800 later, but instead the bore Guards came to see me, or anyway one 37 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:47,199 of them did. I'm Jettet Boutigoda. It was my niece Ellen, from 38 00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:53,000 whom the nick that was schooling me. Oh sure, come in, mister 39 00:03:53,039 --> 00:04:00,960 Boregard. I have a seat to think you, sir, A little unexpected. 40 00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:02,479 I just got in town. Well, at least two braces of the 41 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,360 insurance company wired that you were coming. I wanted to talk to you before 42 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,639 you saw Ellen. Oh, I say, my niece is a remarkable girl. 43 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,120 Mister Dollar trifle headstog at times, though, and not always inclined to 44 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,600 use the best judgment. Well, I guess I could apply it to most 45 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,439 of us. Yes, yes, of course, Now tell me dolla do 46 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,519 you have any hope that the necklace may be recovered? I think so, 47 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,079 it's very certain. In fact, well, Ellen will be very happy. 48 00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:40,639 It was an engagement. If you understand from till Avery, her fiance, 49 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,879 she was quite broken up when it was stolen. The as I imagine, 50 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,800 thirty thousand dollars is quite a loss. Well, it's more of the sentiment 51 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:54,120 a text than the beauty of it. You've seen the necklace now, but 52 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,439 I have photographs of it. Oh, yes, from the insurance company. 53 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,839 Well about your nieces? Boy, God, just what was it you wanted 54 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:10,480 to tell me? Well? I was shooting Johnny Dollar and this is Benny, 55 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,319 mister Dalling. Oh okay, shoot, you know where the pink pigeon 56 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:17,360 is? No, but I'll find it. Let's say out of town. 57 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,759 I'll meet you a at nine o'clock to night, back booth, behind the 58 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:27,439 bar. Yeah. Sure, have you got the item? I got more 59 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,519 than that. I got information that will blow the lid up. I've been 60 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:34,279 double cross Dollar and I'm gonna get eaten. What do you mean double cross? 61 00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:41,680 First, we make a deal, see you to night. I got 62 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,240 to run along, mister. I didn't really have anything in particular we'll telling 63 00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:51,600 me too impulsive sometimes, but you even' means any harm by it. I'm 64 00:05:51,920 --> 00:06:05,279 sure you understand. Expens a count out of two fourteen dollars to hire a 65 00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:11,199 car. Then he was on ice until nine o'clock, so I decided to 66 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:15,079 call on Ellen Beauregard, a girl who was too headstrong and impulsive, but 67 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,639 didn't mean any harm by it. Uncle Jarrett was wrong, though I didn't 68 00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:30,560 understand. I left the car near the Borderguard coach house and walked down the 69 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:36,800 terrace toward the entrance. Ahead of me, in a glass in sunroom, 70 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,879 a man and a girl were so busy with each other that they didn't even 71 00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:47,560 notice me, a highly romantic scene. The mistress of the house probably the 72 00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:56,199 only trouble. Though she was wearing a maid uniform, he was still a 73 00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:00,839 little flushed when she answered the door. Good, I can say, I'd 74 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,399 like to see him Slen Bouregarde. My name is Johnny Dollar. Done heard 75 00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:11,839 the investigator on the robber Dave must have wired everybody in town. I'm do 76 00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:17,240 Than's you come in, thanks, you'll work. I'll tell me Phil the 77 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:26,560 god you're here? Yeah right? Oh? Oh? He must be the 78 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,519 insurance fellow you too, Ellen said you were doing town today. I'm still 79 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,600 avery with Darling. How do you do? Ellen and I are engaged. 80 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,560 I gave her that necklace that was stolen. Yes, I know. I 81 00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:44,439 certainly hope you can get it back. Insurance won't cover the sentimental value. 82 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,600 Sentimental value, yes, Oh, I know how you come up on the 83 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:55,240 terrace. But appearances are deceiving sometimes. I would want you to understand. 84 00:07:55,439 --> 00:08:01,120 Oh, I think I understand perfectly with gravery good good. I got to 85 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:03,800 run. My officers are in the Central bank building drought in. If there's 86 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:11,319 any information like, thanks, I will bank. I'm offully sorry to do 87 00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:15,319 waiting. Mister dollars quite all right in this border guarden gave me a chance 88 00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:18,079 to meet you at fiance. Oh isn't shill a dollar head draw? Sometimes 89 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:24,399 impulsive, but he never means any harm by it. That is exactly well. 90 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,959 I thought you want to all about the robbery. No, I think 91 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,240 I know most of it already. I would like to see the safe though. 92 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,440 Oh course it's over here behind the painting. You've just got to find 93 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,279 that neckless mister dollar. I feel so guilty about it. Guilty why no? 94 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,039 Because it was a gift from Still and not that I was careless, 95 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,399 but yeah, I'm sure you understand. It is back of the portrait. 96 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,120 Hmm, an old fashioned one. Huh, everything now said, Our family 97 00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:58,120 has been around quite a while. Yes, it wouldn't be much of a 98 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,879 job for a professional safe cracking. How'd they get into the house, miss 99 00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:07,200 boy guard? Of course, a lock somewhere. No, you're not set 100 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,639 a key. You see, I've gone out for the afternoon, and Uncle 101 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:15,679 Jared was off somewhere and the housdenty your maid wasn't here. No, No, 102 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,440 after I left, she decided to go onto time to some shopping or 103 00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:22,039 something or that. They couldn't have picked a better time. No, they 104 00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:26,480 couldn't have. Oh see, incidentally, you'll uh he'd probably be talking to 105 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:31,039 Uncle Jared and uh. I wanted to warn you about him, cause he 106 00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:37,320 means well. But is he head strong and impulsive too? No, No, 107 00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:41,919 it's just that he's well a little the I'm sure you understand. To 108 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:56,840 Donald, it was nearly dark when I left, Filled with understanding and with 109 00:09:56,879 --> 00:10:00,679 a lot of questions about the Border guarde establishment and still I needed answering. 110 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,519 I started to open the door of my car when I caught a flash of 111 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,279 white at the corner of the coach house. Somebody had seen me and then 112 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,759 tried the duck out of sights. I walked across the drive and moved quietly 113 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:22,200 up to the corner evening laws. Can I help you with that? No, 114 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,519 you, I was just coming to bring some tros. Well, fine, 115 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,399 let me put it in the incinerator for you. Oh, it's no 116 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,399 trouble. I'll just say of you sort of through this. There's something heavy 117 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,519 inside these favors. Oh, can't let me have it. You won't understand. 118 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,720 Oh, you're the first one around here who hasn't thought so. She 119 00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:43,440 sounds impatient. You better run along. I'll take care of this for you. 120 00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:50,120 Oh. I knew what it was already, and in a moment I 121 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:54,519 had it unwrapped. A thirty two caliber revolver, and one chamber had been 122 00:10:54,559 --> 00:11:01,159 fired recently. I slipped the gun in my pocket and shove the papers into 123 00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:05,960 the incinerator. It's the dollar all right here, miss boyguard. Oh, 124 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,000 Oh, I saw your colonel was still in the driveway, and I just 125 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:15,039 checking the layout of the grounds. I'm leaving now. M Lois just came 126 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,840 in from somewhere in this direction. Oh was she talking to you by any 127 00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:22,279 chance? Oh? We passed the time of day. Well, don't believe 128 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:28,639 anything she tells you any definite reason. Why not? Oh, I've caught 129 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,679 her in all folkses lives. I didn't want to stay anything inside. She 130 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:35,480 might have been listening. How long has she been with you? Four months? 131 00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:39,080 She goes out in the afternoon sometime, and I know she lies about 132 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,440 where she's been. Do you think she had something to do with the robbery? 133 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:48,120 I don't know. I'm only suggesting that you check very carefully on anything 134 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,440 she might tell you. Well, if she's like you say, why have 135 00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:54,840 you kept her? No? I've been planning to let her go, But 136 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:13,799 so objections were raided? Who raised the objection? Uncle Jerry. When I 137 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,120 got back to the hotel and went to my room, I had another surprise 138 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,960 waiting for me.

I've got to have a talk with the Dollar. 171 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,240 What begun? Please? It's not the way it looks. And he's trying 172 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,159 to get me in trouble. I found the gun. Where take him under 173 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,279 the masters of my bed. I can't see it. I was trying to 174 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:11,360 get rid of it when you stopped me. Tonight in the paper, says 175 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,480 a man's been shot. Did you know him? No? You know who's 176 00:15:15,519 --> 00:15:18,159 gun? This is? No, I don't know anything about it. Give 177 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,600 it to me, please, I'd like, sir Lois, but I'm afraid 178 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:41,000 it's not that simple, all right. See, you know many great men 179 00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:45,039 have attained the highest office in our land, the presidency of the United States. 180 00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:48,000 Can you guess the name of this man? As a boy, his 181 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:54,440 general health was bad, but as a man he was a dynamo of energy. 182 00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:58,399 He was only forty two when he became president, the youngest man ever 183 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,840 to hold that position. His administration was a fairly untroubled one. There was 184 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:08,679 still no income tax, other taxes were comparatively low, and the United States 185 00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:14,759 was in a peaceful era. Conservation of our natural resources was one of his 186 00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:18,679 greatest concerns as president, and in nineteen hundred and two he signed a bill 187 00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:23,879 putting the Reclamation Act into action. If you don't have his name by now, 188 00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:30,399 here's one more important clue. During his administration, work was begun on 189 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:36,440 the Panama Canal. Who was he? Theodore Rose though twenty six President of 190 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:42,120 the United States. His life is part of your American heritage. Of you 191 00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:51,279 and now with our star John Lund, we bring you the second act of 192 00:16:51,559 --> 00:17:08,119 yours, truly, jolly Dollar, expend the gout out them three two dollars 193 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,680 and ninety cents two hamburgers. Stake lunches the next day at noon in the 194 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:18,240 Bleaker Hotel Grille, apparently a favorite daytime eating place for the president of the 195 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:25,960 Central City Bank.

But when it comes to money, that's another story. 203 00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:07,359 When you want to know about a man's economic status and just ask his 204 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:12,160 bank, that's exactly what I'm doing. And oh yeah, so you are. 205 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,839 And now you understand, mister Dollar, that I wouldn't know it in 206 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,799 there they left this information out. Yes, yeah, that is a though 207 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:25,359 the town figures they're rolling in it. The bull regards are broke near plaque. 208 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,640 I have been for a couple of years. What about that house, 209 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,440 the estate, Oh my mortgage to the hill. Like a few other properties, 210 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,039 they've still managed to hang on to.

You know, it's a funny thing. 214 00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:52,960 Old Jarrett seems to be going around with a pocket full of money. Helped 215 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,599 me barring it from his perspective, son of ur? Huh, how was 216 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,920 he fixed financially? He fixed a man who can afford a thirty thousand dollars 217 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,759 engagement. Yet I have never looked through his account, but I'd say that 218 00:19:06,839 --> 00:19:10,920 if he doesn't have it, he soon will have. Oh my boys to 219 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,359 go get her pretty well? Thought of elected him to the board of directors 220 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,640 of the bank last month. Then you're not going to eat that roll? 221 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,839 Oh, thank you, thank you? Thinking. I don't know how he 222 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,319 finds time for it.

Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, he just 229 00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:48,279 too bad the fello and found out about it. Uh, just time to 230 00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:52,880 be with some real excitement if he said, would you pass that sauce again? 231 00:19:52,960 --> 00:20:10,440 Mister jolly well absidente chief, I have a couple. Oh, I'm 232 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,200 sorry, I didn't know you're busy. Well, that's all right, come 233 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:18,319 on in, you know, mister Avery Verlyn as we've met all, missus 234 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,839 dolling d you came. It's concerned you too, Mister a Ree figures we're 235 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,559 doing this girl or as an injustice. She's not involved in any of this, 236 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,799 mister Dollar, either the faft or the murder. She's not the kind. 237 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,960 I know her. Oh well, Miss Avery well enough to know that 238 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,279 she's a pretty fine person. The only trouble is, mister Avery, I've 239 00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:41,200 got a pretty strong case against the girl. She was trying to dispose of 240 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,519 the murder guns. You know the time. How's it be empty to set 241 00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:47,880 up the robbery? She could have given Benny's Stark a key to get in 242 00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:52,519 one thing though that she've gotten. We haven't found the necklace. Unless she 243 00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:56,960 can be tied up with that, a case won't stand. We're still looking. 244 00:20:56,599 --> 00:21:00,119 What about her room at the boy of guards, of places around the 245 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,119 house that she might have access to. First thing in the morning, we're 246 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,720 gonna take it to pieces, mister Dollar, and you won't find a thing. 247 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,039 Wait and see. I'm afraid that you'll have to do, mister Avery, 248 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,400 wait and see him. Will you go on back and talk to if 249 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,279 you want?

I have to go to 253 00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:34,440 Chicago for then, Well, that's what I want to know. Whether there's 254 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,079 somebody who did go into Chicago four or five months ago. Well, I 255 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,279 could get Jim over here from Hartley's Jewelry store. He could give them a 256 00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:48,079 technical description over the phone. Chicago, please work pretty fast, might have 257 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,160 some information back by the zee. Good, I'll wait to hear from you. 258 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,079 There was nothing more I could do until I heard from the Chicago police, 259 00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:07,319 so I went to my hotel room to wait it out. Johnny Dollar 260 00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:12,519 A dollar, Oh yes, miss Bargart, we wanted it to come out 261 00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:17,839 to dinnis side. Well that's softly nice. Yes, I'd like to good 262 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:30,960 to the family. Fine. See then expense a count item four fourteen dollars 263 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,880 car rental for an additional twenty four hours to attend dinner party at home of 264 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,119 clients. I arrived at six forty five, parked by the coach house, 265 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,759 and then at seven o'clock I joined Phil Avery in the Bidgeo's room. We 266 00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:49,200 were about to start a game when the phone call had been hoping four came 267 00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:53,799 through. I took it on the extension in the entry hall. Johnny Dollar, 268 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,720 James CapMan, doll don't get work from Chicago? Oh good? Any 269 00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:03,200 luck? Yes located. You ever made a copy of that necklace five months 270 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,480 ago? You remember that? Well? Did you remember the client? Yes? 271 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,799 A girl is a description that's Ellen Burry, girdle it cheek and it 272 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,519 all adds up. Oh, I found the necklace. By the way, 273 00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:18,400 Well, maybe I had better come out there, sooner the better, Chief, 274 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:26,079 I'll see it. Well, good evening, mister boy Garden. You 275 00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:30,480 discovered our little friendly secret. I take it. I'm afraid though I knew 276 00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:33,759 you would. I want to tell you. I warned Ellen, but she 277 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:40,000 hits something. Of course it was legal in the beat, but not later. 278 00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:45,079 No, you better ask Ellen to come down as you wish, mister 279 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:59,079 Dollar. Well, shall we start the game, mister every All right, 280 00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:07,680 go ahead and break him. Let's make it straight cool, okay, to 281 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:15,400 start two on a break like shooting quail in the brush? H four ball 282 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:22,839 in the corner pocket. By the way, mister Avery, you were right 283 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:29,000 about Lois. She isn't guilty. She was being framed. I told youself. 284 00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:33,279 She's not involved in any of this except as an innocent bystander. Even 285 00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:37,000 though I found the necklace a little while ago hidden in her room, you 286 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:42,000 found it. Good. The Bollerguards, though, are not quite so innocent. 287 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:51,680 M the seven ball in the side pockets? M what do you mean? 288 00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:56,640 The Boar guards needed money. They were still keeping up a front, 289 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,640 but they were broken. And when you started getting interested in Ellen, they 290 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,519 figured you were their answer make her sound pretty cold blooded. Oh, I 291 00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:08,319 don't think there was much love lost on either side. You were playing the 292 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,799 same game. Wait a minute, it was a natural the way you saw 293 00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:17,359 it. Ellen the last of an old lion, the family prominent, wealthy. 294 00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:22,079 Why she was the key to open any door in town. So you 295 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,200 gambled your stake on a thirty thousand dollars gift to show her that you were 296 00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:30,279 in a fortune of it. Mister dollar, I don't like the twelve ball 297 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:40,920 in the far corner. Hm. Then about a month ago you had a 298 00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:45,160 chance to see the border guard account at the bank. Why they were broker 299 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,480 than you were. I wasn't marrying Ellen for money. Only trouble was you 300 00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:52,640 couldn't stand losing that thirty grand necklace. So you brought Benny stock in and 301 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,640 he stole it for you. When he gave it to you, he told 302 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,279 you it was phony, and you thought he was double crossing you. He 303 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,440 got sore and decided to try for a deal with the insurance company, and 304 00:26:04,599 --> 00:26:11,000 that's why you killed him. You're accusing you of murder. So let's see 305 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:22,240 now the eight ball in the end pocket. Well, who else mister Avery. 306 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,839 Lois wasn't involved, except that you tried the framer. The Boer guard 307 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,599 knew the sapphire necklace was an imitation. You were the one who didn't. 308 00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:37,000 It wasn't an imitation. I paid thirty thousand dollars for it. Not this 309 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,920 one Helen Soldiers a month after you gave it to her. They've been living 310 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:47,200 on the money she had this one made in Chicago. That dirty another clincher. 311 00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:51,079 You were the only one who heard me tell Chief Cotton that we'd have 312 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,640 to find the necklace before we could convict Lois, So you brought it here 313 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:02,319 tonight and planted it. Well, I don't have to go on, No 314 00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:04,960 you don't. Did you steal that gun from Uncle Jarrett too? Oh no, 315 00:27:06,279 --> 00:27:10,079 this is my own. I lay down that queue now and get your 316 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,319 hands up, flow and easy. And if I don't, you thank you. 317 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:22,920 What's the dollar I bid? Your que makes quite a weapon. What's 318 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,000 it all about? Well, it seems you're fiance is the lad who had 319 00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:33,279 your safe rifle and then later killed his partner. Oh yeah, I guess 320 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:40,759 murder is worse than fraud. What do you mean you filed an insurance claim 321 00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:45,559 on a necklace you'd already sold. I rather imagine the company is going to 322 00:27:45,680 --> 00:28:03,079 prosecute it. Chief Cotton's on the way, Miss Beauregard. Expense account ADEM 323 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:08,079 five one hundred and fourteen dollars and ten cents. Hotel incidental and transportation back 324 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,880 to Hartford expense account total two hundred and three dollars and forty cents. Yours, 325 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,680 truly, Johnny dollars
