00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:05.799
From Hollywood. I'm no for Edmond
O'Brien, as Johnny d Mister Dalla,

2
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:09.560
my name is ed Best. I'm
in the investment pup of the Financial Surety

3
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.439
Company. We' sure I've worked for
the company. Yes, Bruce Hardwick told

4
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:15.080
me about you. I have something
i'd like to have you look into.

5
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.519
What is it? Briefly? A
few years ago we bought controlling interest in

6
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.399
the Stanley Springs Company, an organization
in the Southwest that deals in cotton.

7
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.879
As a couple of gins, I
just got a letter from out there the

8
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:31.440
effect that behind the scenes the company
is carrying on illegal traffic across the Mexican

9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.960
border. How close a check do
you keep on the outfit? Our content

10
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.399
goes out for a quarterly examination,
and he certainly reported nothing suspicious. But

11
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:45.640
we businessmen aren't trained to handle smuggling
organizations if one does exist. Yeah,

12
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.119
well training is very seldom enough.
But I'll come down this abnoon talking over

13
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:57.159
with you. Edmund O'Brien and another
adventure of the Man with the action packed

14
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:02.759
expenser God America's Pabulus freelance insurance investigator, Yours truly, Johnny Dollar and as

15
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:15.079
a special guest, this evening you
are truly August and expense account submitted by

16
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.599
Special Investigator Johnny Dolla to Home Office
Financial Surrety Company, Hartford, Connecticut.

17
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.840
The following is an accounting of expenditures
during my investigation of the Stanley Springs matter.

18
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.640
Expense account IDEM one A dollar seventy
five cab fair from my apartment to

19
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:38.680
Hartford's insurance role and the financial surity
officers the best the money in the stars.

20
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.040
Happy to meet you. Bruce praised
you quite highly. Uh. I

21
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.120
know Bruce well enough to suspect he
was selling me so he wouldn't have to

22
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.359
take the trip himself. I got
what be that? As it may?

23
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.280
This is enough, thank you.
Here's the letter I mentioned to you,

24
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:05.239
very brief unsigned. He's not generous
with details, is he? No?

25
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.360
Nothing but the bold accusation. What
does he call it? The illegal shipment?

26
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:13.120
Yeah? What do you make of
it? I don't know. Stanley

27
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.199
Springs stationary must be an employee,
maybe a crank, Yes, that had

28
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.400
occurred to work. You have no
reason to think that what he says is

29
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.000
true? Is that right? Good
lord? No, we'd have the faintest

30
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.000
suspicions. We would have investigated them. Won't you think it'd be a good

31
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.159
idea to turn the matter over to
the federal people. After discussing it,

32
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.599
we decided that it wouldn't be a
good idea at this time. There's not

33
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:37.560
enough perhaps there's nothing behind the letter. We decided to carry out our own

34
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:42.039
investigation first, and then if there's
basis, we'll turn to the federal agency.

35
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.759
That was about it from the heart
to end. My only instruction was

36
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:53.120
to keep secret, if possible,
my identity and the investigation expense coount item

37
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.360
two one hundred and thirty five dollars. Transportation first by air, then by

38
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:05.840
train, then by bus to Stanley
Springs. I arrived there late in the

39
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.400
afternoon, and at first I couldn't
see the true character of the town.

40
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.879
It was dusty, set in a
depression of the desert that's called Stanley Springs

41
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.520
Valley. There was a company built
town, two dirty streets, saloons,

42
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.840
A few cafes and stores made up
the center of town. The rest was

43
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.159
a cluster of identical white dwellings.
There was only one small hotel, and

44
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.240
I checked into it under the curious
glance of a dark haired girl who knocked

45
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:37.159
on the door. A few minutes
after I'd gotten into my room. Ah,

46
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:42.360
hello, hello, are you busy? I know not at the moment.

47
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.080
Then could I come in? Sure? Sure? I don't see why

48
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.400
not? I uh, I am
not quite ready to receive visitors. I

49
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.520
don't have anything to offer you but
a cigarette. I don't want anything.

50
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.520
I only wanted to talk to you. My name is Dan, and I

51
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.360
live here in the hotel. We
don't see many strangers here in Stanley Springs.

52
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.800
Well, I'm not all right,
so I'm why are you here?

53
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.080
Mm? Take care a look at
a lot of organizations like the Stanley Springs

54
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.000
Company. I uh, I'm gonna
write an article for a textiles magazine.

55
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.120
You up from the East, Yeah, in New York. You. I

56
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.959
lived in Denver before I came here, and I have been in Fort Worth,

57
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.879
in Tucson and Phoenix. Why do
you want to write about the company?

58
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:30.240
Uh? I'm being paid to by
a lot of men. Are own

59
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.399
controlling interest in a lot of companies, and they're too fat and wealthare to

60
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.480
come out themselves to find out how
they earn their money. You don't like

61
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.360
these men? I can take'em
or leave'em alone. What do you

62
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.240
do? I work in one of
the clubs. Clubs. Is that a

63
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.759
pretty fancy name for them, huh. I know they don't look like much

64
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:53.079
in the daytime, but at night
you'll see. Is the company owned these

65
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.600
clubs? I think they sold them. That was before I came here.

66
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.160
I take it. I can drop
my money on a craft table if I

67
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:00.959
want to. Yeah, there are
games in all of them. I hope

68
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.120
you aren't interested in that. And
I'm talking too much. Do you want

69
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.800
me to go? No, of
course not. I'm glad you came,

70
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.240
then, so am I. It's
good to have someone new to talk to.

71
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.639
She stayed about an hour, long
enough for me to learn, among

72
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.680
other things, that her name was
Anne Salava and that she sang. It

73
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.879
seemed to me then that she,
as well as I, was leaving things

74
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.000
unsaid, and I wondered if her
warm, friendly and seemingly honest approach wouldn't

75
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:40.800
be a good method of learning why
any stranger dropped into Stanley Springs. No.

76
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.240
I didn't do anything that first evening
and night, but recover from my

77
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.160
long fifteen hours of travel. The
next morning, I started out on the

78
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:55.040
only lead I had, the unsigned
two sentence note on company stationary. There

79
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.959
were three men in the Stanley Springs
Allies when I got there. One of

80
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:02.519
them was Norman Steger manager. Oh
that's interesting, mister Dollar. What sections

81
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.279
have you been through on your survey? I uh came up through the Southeastern

82
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:12.160
States, then through Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, California now here. Quite

83
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.319
an extensive trip. They seem to
think it's worth it. Ah, you

84
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.680
will find us about the same as
the rest of the ginning concerns, except

85
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:23.040
the ones that handle American upland cotton. They use saw gins, We use

86
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.319
uh roller gins. You'll find nothing
new here. I won't bother you,

87
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.720
mister Staker. I'd like to talk
to your personnel go through your warehouses,

88
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.920
but I meet them here in the
office. Yes, you can meet them,

89
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.800
but I'd rather you didn't talk to
them until after we close tonight.

90
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.879
I've got a lot of work this
week. I'm sure anything you say,

91
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:46.319
come on. Ah. Phillips,
Yeah, uh meet mister Dollar. Came

92
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.879
up from the east to look over
our plant. How do you do Phillips.

93
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:54.199
Phillips is our chief clerk. Mister
Dollar is going to write a magazine

94
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.120
article. Oh, I see.
I want you to help him with any

95
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.279
information He wants phillips er, but
not until through hours. All right,

96
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.319
Phillips is through at five. You
can meet him then, fine, I'll

97
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:08.439
see you, mister Phillips. Yes, that's five. Uh, this is

98
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.279
uh Child's over here. He's a
shipping clerk, mister Dollar. Child's hello,

99
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.639
mister child, howdy he gonna ride
us up? Huh Hello, Try

100
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.399
not to get in the way.
Hey, you've got a shipman going out

101
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.279
this morning, haven't you, childs? Yeah, maybe mister Dollar can go

102
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.279
out and watch the bales being loaded. That won't slow things down. Sure,

103
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.040
I'm going out now. Good.
You can get an idea of the

104
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.279
size of our shipments. We send
one about like this every other week,

105
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.839
Like with a girl. There was
nothing there on the office that I could

106
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.000
put my finger on, only things
to wonder about, like the quick look

107
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.319
Phillips the clerk threw at me when
I was introduced, and something about the

108
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.480
tone Stager used with him. I
went through the formalities of watching the loading

109
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:51.199
operation and noting the number of baiales, and then returned to Stager's office for

110
00:07:51.319 --> 00:08:01.879
my meeting with Phillips. Ow are
you making out Philip's say, no,

111
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.000
he isn't. He was Uh feeling
sick this afternoon. Let him go home

112
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.360
at about two thirty. Oh,
it's a matter with him. I don't

113
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.600
know, something with his stomach.
I think he worries too much. It

114
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.920
seem like he did very much to
worry about in his job. No,

115
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.360
I wouldn't, but I guess it
can be quite as strain if you let

116
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.959
it. I mean, I don't
worry about anything. Oh, that's the

117
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.720
way to be. I'll find him
at home then, I guess, or

118
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.800
uh, he doesn't feel that I
can wait over tomorrow. You'd better catch

119
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.720
him. Maybe he's sicker than he
thinks. What do you mean? Just

120
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.720
what I said? Maybe he's in
worse shape than he realizes. I hope

121
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.639
not. Why do you say that, mister Stager. It just seemed to

122
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.159
me that he acted kind of funny
when I introduced you to him this morning.

123
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.039
Didn't you notice? Oh? I
guess I didn't. I've had my

124
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.360
doubts about him for quite a while. I think there's something wrong with him,

125
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.279
like what something about his past that
he's hiding. I've even thought he

126
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.759
may have had a criminal record.
When he met you, it was almost

127
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.720
like he was afraid you'd come out
here after him be easy enough to check

128
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.320
if you wanted to, we could
phone the state authorities. Oh not yet,

129
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.080
doll him. Let's wait till after
you talk to him, find out

130
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.320
how he reacts. Lives in number
eighteen, that's on First Street. Okay,

131
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.039
Stega, thanks, I'll go right
over. I would, I mean,

132
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:18.240
awhile you find out. I was
almost positive then who'd written a note

133
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.960
and that there was something behind it. I banged on the door of number

134
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.799
eighteen for a reasonable length of time
and then forced my way in. Phillips

135
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.600
wasn't there, and according to some
unwaged dishes, hadn't been there since breakfast.

136
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.879
I found only one thing that pointed
someplace, a photograph of the girl

137
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:43.159
and Saliva. I didn't find her
at the hotel when I got back,

138
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.600
so at eight that night I walked
into the club where she worked. She

139
00:09:46.720 --> 00:10:05.799
was singing as I entered, Less
Solidis said Katia, I love cover from

I'm glad you came. He didn't last

143
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.200
night. I want to talk to
you, mane, Is there any place

144
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.559
we can go? I want to
talk to you about erving Phillips. Why

145
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.279
I had an appointment with him at
Fine? I can't find him. Where

146
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.440
can we talk? He don't want
to talk to you. Why not here

147
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.360
alone? Do you know where Phillips
is? No? Why don't you want

148
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:43.159
to talk about him? I don't
know because he wrote a letter. I'll

149
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.960
try to come to your room after
I finished. Don't talk to you here?

150
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:52.639
It would be about four, all
right, I'll wait for you.

151
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:09.519
Uh you did come. I wondered
if you would. Who are you?

152
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.000
I think both of us would have
been better off if they hadn't been any

153
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.840
deception. You came to my room
yesterday because you were expecting somebody to show

154
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.039
up in the east. Isn't I
right? Who are you really? Johnny?

155
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.799
Who did Phillips write the letter to? He was sent here by the

156
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.720
owners of the company. Yes,
that's right. The letter got there.

157
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.320
Then he didn't know if it had
been mailed. It got there. They

158
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.519
were following Irving, and he was
sure they saw him give the letter to

159
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.759
the man. They asked him about
it, and he told him he hadn't

160
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.879
He gave it to somebody else because
he couldn't mail it himself. They were

161
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.200
following him and this stuff about traffic
because the border is true. Huh.

162
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.960
Yes, why did Phillips write the
letter? He wanted to leave Stanley Springs,

163
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.360
but they wouldn't let him because he
knew about the smuggling. Yes,

164
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.799
he didn't have anything to do with
it, and he didn't try to find

165
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.320
out about it, but he learned
about it and they knew it, so

166
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.320
they couldn't lets him leave. Yeah, how much do you know about it?

167
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.879
Now? It's narcotics. A cotton
grower right in the border brings it

168
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.720
up. Doesn't that put you on
about the same spot as Phillips? They

169
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.679
won't let me leave. Irving wrote
a letter because the only thing we could

170
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.240
do was to tell somebody else about
it. And now you know we'll do

171
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.960
something about it. What, Johnny, I'm gonna get worried out. I'm

172
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.559
going to call the nearest Treasury department
an office. Oh no, Johnny,

173
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.000
this is Stanley Springs. The company
owns everything, and Steger has thought of

174
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:37.960
everything. There's only one telephone in
town that's in the company office, and

175
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.919
I'll have to use that one.
I guess you go back to your room.

176
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:52.399
I'll get word out someway. It's
pretty obvious that I wasn't going to

177
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.320
get worried out. It was four
thirty in the morning when I left the

178
00:13:54.320 --> 00:14:01.960
hotel. The two men were waiting
for me in the street. Eight dollars.

179
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:07.120
Huh, alright's you, Childs?
You up earlier late? I can

180
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.480
ask the same thing of you.
You get a lot of information from Phillips

181
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.679
for that article you're writing. I
think you know more about Phillips than I

182
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.039
do. Well way he acted when
he met you. I thought he was

183
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.000
afraid of you. I wondered if
you'd seen him, what are you driving

184
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.120
at, Childs. I didn't see
him. I went to his house.

185
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.679
He wasn't there. He was.
That's funny. I saw him going about

186
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.000
eight thirty or nine last night.
Maybe I ought to try again, Yeah,

187
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.120
I guess. So. You know, you can't start too early in

188
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:46.080
Stanley Springs. Thanks for the tip. I'll go right over. I figured

189
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:50.000
it for a cat and mouse game. They wanted me to find Phillips,

190
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.279
and I did. Phillips was dead
from a bullet wound in his temple.

191
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.159
The thirty eight Revolver was still held
in his right hand, except for one

192
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:11.840
completely work floss bit of evidence irving
Philip's death was apparently a result of suicide.

193
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.440
We will return you to the second
act of Yours, Truly, Johnny

194
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.320
Dollar, in just a moment.
There have been some changes made, and

195
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.320
it's faster, it's funnier, it's
got new life and a brand new punch

196
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.440
because Jan Murray's taken over. What
show is this? Why CBS is Saturday

197
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.440
Night Musical Quiz Sing It Again,
an hour of melody, mirth and money

198
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.360
that's heard on most of these same
CBS stations. Yes, Jan Murray is

199
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.320
your new host, Alan Dale,
Judy Lynn, the Riddlers and Ray Block

200
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.840
are your music makers, and there
are still loads and loads of cash for

201
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.759
identifying the phantom voice. Be sure
to hear the news Sing It Again,

202
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.000
starring Jan Murray tonight on CBS Now
with our star Edmond O'Brien, We return

203
00:15:54.080 --> 00:16:07.039
you to the second act of Yours, Truly, Johnny Dollar. A brief

204
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.200
and faltering examination of the scene was
made about an hour later by an aged

205
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:17.279
deputy Sheriff Stanley Springs only law enforcement
officer. He didn't ask for a statement,

206
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.720
I did not offer one because I
knew it would be useless. I

207
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.279
watched the removal of Philip's body,
and then, with Chiles and the other

208
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:38.360
man following me, I went back
to the hotel. Kay, who is

209
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:47.840
it, Johnny, I have to
see it. I was asleep. I

210
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:49.799
didn't think I could sleep. I
don't know what he meant to here,

211
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.639
but I don't have time to fill
me punches. Phillips is dead. I

212
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.440
thought he would be because they didn't
want him to talk to me. Here's

213
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.360
the key to my room. To
get out of this one, stay in

214
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.559
mind, don't answer if anybody knocks, don't say anything. All right,

215
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:07.880
Johnny, what about you? I'll
be all right. I'll get back to

216
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:15.359
you as fast as I can.
For the two men still tailing me,

217
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.759
I found an early cafe and spent
some time on the coffee. I knew

218
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.559
what their mission was, but to
check it. I started toward the bus

219
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.400
station at a little after seven point
thirty. When I got within a block

220
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:29.119
of it, they started to close
in and they were ready to jump me.

221
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.519
When I reached the point directly across
the street from it, it looked

222
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:40.000
like I was in Stanley Springs to
stay. At a quarter past eight,

223
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:45.279
I walked into the company office again. Ah, good morning, Dollar.

224
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.319
I was hoping you'd come in.
I wanted to talk to you about what

225
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.599
about Phillips. Of course, I
told you I wondered about his past.

226
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:57.440
It's behind his suicide anyway. You
know, I know it wasn't suicide.

227
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.200
Staga. That'll help you, of
course, as it was. The gun

228
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.119
was found in the man's hand,
wasn't it. Yeah, but he still

229
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.079
smelled the chloroform, and I saw
him chloroform. It wasn't mentioned to me.

230
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.960
I wouldn't worry about it if I
were you. I understand the traces

231
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.480
disappear in a short time. But
let's understand each other. You and I

232
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.759
know that he was chloroformed, that
when he was unconscious, a gun was

233
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:19.799
put in his hand, that it
was pointed at his head, and somebody

234
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.920
helped them pull the trigger. You
saw this happen. It happened, But

235
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.880
the tests will prove that his hand
fired the gun. You and probably a

236
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.839
couple of young men know he was
murdered, and I know it as far

237
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.960
as proof goes. Just say,
for a textile writer, you seem to

238
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.759
know quite a bit about these things. I think we understand each other now,

239
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.559
Stagan, I hope you'll do.
I know you've been sitting on a

240
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.319
good thing, probably for a long
time. The whole town has been a

241
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.720
front for you. You control everything, but trying to control me is a

242
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.400
different proposition. I guess I didn't
realize that your men have made it clear

243
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.079
that they won't let me leave town. Things will change, You're right,

244
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:57.240
they will. The people who sent
me out here suspect your dealing in contraband.

245
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:00.359
What do you think they'll do?
Forget it if they don't hear from

246
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.799
me? According to plan, you
can worry about that dollar. I'm not

247
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.119
going to I don't know what you're
talking about. Made a lot of empty

248
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:08.960
accusations. The only reason I can
think of is that you're a stupid,

249
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.039
stumbling bum. There's that way.
I guess you don't mind my using your

250
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:17.000
phone. Get away from it,
put it down, come in Chile,

251
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:25.599
put it down, dollar behind it, plastic, Now let me have it.

252
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.359
Hey, Hey, come on,
get up, dollar get away,

253
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.559
come on, get up? Yeah, sure, sure, let go.

254
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:44.279
That's enough, Kyle, Uh,
empty accusations, stay good. The company

255
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.880
rule. Nobody uses that phone but
employees. Now get out of here and

256
00:19:48.880 --> 00:20:00.359
get yourself cleaned up. You can
see of the man. That's first of

257
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.359
all. Anne. He's been toying
with me ever since I got here,

258
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.680
leading me around, showing me the
murder he committed because he knows he'll get

259
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.000
away with it. Well, please
sit down, Johnny, M so I

260
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.640
can put something on your face.
I know what he's doing and I can't

261
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.440
stop him. I think this will
hurt? Oh? Is it very bad?

262
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.960
Sorry? Sorry? He's gonna hold
me here until he gets ridder than

263
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.640
narcotics evidence, and then there won't
be a thing I can prove against him.

264
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.160
Oh wait, Johnny, you're fore
it? Oh, I'm sorry.

265
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.400
Does it hurt? Yeah? I
can that. There's only this one more

266
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:42.559
there. Your aunt's very pretty now, Johnny, h commit here? Yes?

267
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.640
How can you be so calm about
this? Aren't you afraid of him?

268
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.599
I have been afraid of a lot
of things. What things? I

269
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.079
don't wanna talk about them, Johnny. I've made my life the way it

270
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.119
is, and I didn't have to
come to Stanley Spring. Okay, we'll

271
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.119
leave it at that. Why do
you want to know about me? H?

272
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.279
It's been less than twenty four hours, but it seems like I've known

273
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:12.039
you for a long time. I
know. I guess meeting like this in

274
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:17.279
trouble does that sort of thing to
people. I have heard that life goes

275
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:22.519
very fast and there is danger.
Oh, you haven't slept, and you

276
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.440
should do you want me to go? No, I don't want you to

277
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.720
go, not for awhile, all
right, Johnny, I've been trying to

278
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.240
think. But this day would have
been without you if I've helped you.

279
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.359
I'm glad. Only a few times
in my life when I've been driven to

280
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.680
the point where I could kill a
man, I reached it today and Stagger

281
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.359
and his men kicked me out of
that office. I think if you hadn't

282
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.720
been here, I I would've gone
back to it. Oh, I think

283
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.839
it would be better if you forgot
all about that. I got it.

284
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.319
Hm, I'm afraid that's a luxury
that's not allowed me. I'm not paid

285
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:02.720
to forget, even for a little
while. I only stayed for little You

286
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:15.640
haven't slept on me shore, But
tell me about yourself. That was the

287
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:19.599
last time I saw Anne Saliva.
She stayed an hour maybe less. When

288
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:30.359
she'd gone, I slept. There
hadn't been any secrets left the between Norman

289
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.759
Stager and me. After our last
meeting, I had told him what I

290
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.680
knew, and he told me how
he felt. Because of that, I

291
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.359
thought Anne Saliva was no longer in
danger as a giver of information. That's

292
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:45.200
why I let her leave. When
after I'd rested, I went to her

293
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.839
room and she wasn't there. The
desk clerk told me that she left the

294
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.960
two men, and his description came
close enough to fitting Chiles and the other

295
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.720
man who had been following me this
time. When I started for the Stanley

296
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:04.279
Springs office, I was carrying and
automatic. Well, mister Dollard, I

297
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.559
thought you'd had enough out of this
off. That's just why I came back.

298
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.799
Where is she? Who looked the
time for tossing words around his gun?

299
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.279
Childs? Where is she? You
know, a gun don't make you

300
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:19.519
mayor this town. You use that, you'll be cut down for you can

301
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:22.039
move a hundred yards. I won't
have to use it. If you tell

302
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.680
me where she is. I don't
know what you're talking about. Where Steger,

303
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:36.880
He's uh? Where? I don't
know where? Childs, I I

304
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:38.240
don't know. You took her out
of the hotel. The court told me

305
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.640
that was you take her? What
did you do with her. I I

306
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:48.240
I don't know what you're talking about. It understand his child's I'll kill her

307
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:55.000
if I have to. And where
is she? I don't know? Where

308
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:59.680
is Steger? He he's out in
the warehouse? Which one number three?

309
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:04.680
Take out there? No, I
won't no, no, no, don't

310
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:10.480
take me out there. Take me
out there? H kiddy? I mean

311
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:29.279
man, alright, alright, I'll
take you out too. Where child's he

312
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.480
said he was coming here. Don't
play with me. Don't tell me anything

313
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.920
but the truth. I'm not I'm
not he said he was coming here.

314
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:47.400
Huh, Stagger a new child?
Yeah, what do you want? Hit?

315
00:24:48.079 --> 00:25:00.319
Dollar? Where is it? I'm
here, Stagger? Haven't you gotten

316
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.839
yourself into enough trouble? Dollar?
Yeah, honey, it's the matter with

317
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.720
you. Che He hit me with
a gun. You're liable to find yourself

318
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.920
in prison. Dollar, do you
know that I've thought about it. I'm

319
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.720
the salt. It's a felony.
I believe. I wanna know where Anne

320
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.640
Salivar is. I didn't know you
were acquainted as she did. Tell me

321
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:21.960
what you did with it? I
didn't do anything. Where is she?

322
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.839
I don't know. This is another
example of these halfway accusations of yours with

323
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.359
no proof. You can't find her. It's quite possible that she left town.

324
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.960
You wouldn't let her do that.
You don't know what you're talking about,

325
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:37.079
and I've heard enough. I think
you've lost your mind. Stay,

326
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:44.839
don't, don't leave. I'll kill
you if I have to. No,

327
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:56.319
you won't dollar because you don't have
proof of anything. Well what, oh,

328
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.720
you kill it? What's the money? You're crazy? You kill No,

329
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.000
I didn't, but you might not
be so lucky. So don't do

330
00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:06.880
anything. I don't tell you to
do it. No, I won't.

331
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:08.200
I won't. I won't do nothing. What do you want from me?

332
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:26.519
Take me to that deputy sheriff.
I want to be arrested. Expense count

333
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.039
had him three one hundred dollars retainer
for a lawyer in Farmington, the county

334
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.880
seat, and saliva I was found
in the building where she was being held

335
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.559
and she was released. The rest
of it is up to the treasury man,

336
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.359
who moved into Stanley Springs after I
gave them my statement remarks. I

337
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.480
won't total this account at the moment, as I'm mailing it from the county

338
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.960
jail where I am being held on
the charge of assault with intempt to kill.

339
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:52.319
The word is that I'll be freed
on the grounds that my assault was

340
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.119
justifiable since it was the only way
to stop a man of Norman Steger's power.

341
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.400
So I hope to see you soon. I was Truly Johnny Dollar.

342
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.440
Yours Truly Johnny Dollar stars Edmond O'Brien
in the title role and is written by

343
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:21.119
Gildowd with music by Wilbur Hatch.
Edmond O'Brien's special guest this evening was August

344
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:25.000
and Juan. Featured in tonight's cast
were Ray Hartman, Bill Conrad, and

345
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:30.000
Herb Butterfield. Yours Truly Johnny Dollar
is produced and directed by Hime del Valli.

346
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.759
This is Dick Cutting inviting you to
join us next week at this time

347
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:49.480
when Edmond O'Brien returns as Truly Johnny
Dollar. Since the fighting began in Korea,

348
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:52.680
prices have been modeling throughout the country. The cost of living today is

349
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.200
at an all time high, and
under pressure will rise still higher. We

350
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.759
can protect ourselves, our families,
and our country against dangerous inflation if each

351
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.119
of us will resolve to pay no
more than fair prices. To watch for

352
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:08.119
repeated price rises, to buy only
what we need, and to refrain from

353
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:12.400
hoarding at the expense of our neighbors
and our country. Fight inflation by following

354
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:18.160
those simple rules. Stay tuned now
for von Monroe's caravan, which follows immediately

355
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:27.200
over most of these same CBS stations. This is CBS where you laugh at
