13
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,799
for this week's episode of Yours Truly

second and January third, nineteen fifty
six. It's the Kaylan Manor Episodes one

16
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,359
Johnny Limited. Oh hi, Walt, how's your health terrible? Since you

17
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:05,319
ask, I got asma, Johnny
again, I thought we agreed. I

18
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,960
know, I get suspicious. I
get asthma happens every time. Kill me,

19
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,919
will you? What's the case?
Walter Man named Eddie Kaylin c A

20
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,599
Y l I n Out in Los
Angeles died yesterday? Five thousand dollar policy,

21
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:23,240
double indemnity. What did he die
of? Misterius circumstances. Well,

22
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,400
that's usually a fatal disease, all
right, But that, Johnny, that's

23
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:31,039
all I know, misterious circumstances.
The body was identified by the widow.

24
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,759
I see, all right, salesman
out there can probably help you. He

25
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:40,120
issued the policy only six weeks ago
at the request to the widow. H

26
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,719
six weeks one premium paid check signed
by the widow. Hey, tell me

27
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,000
something. What the beneficiary happened to
be? Right? The widow? All

28
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,280
this asthma is killing me. Johnny, you gotta do something about it,

29
00:02:53,439 --> 00:03:05,360
all right, Walter? Just call
me doctor tonight and every weekday night.

America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator as Truley
Johnny Dollar. Expense Accounts amtter by

Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, the home
office Trinity Mutchell Insurance Company Limited, Hartford,

33
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:34,680
Connecticut. The following is an accounting
of expended urs during my investigation of

34
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:38,639
the Klan matter. Item won one
hundred and ninety eight dollars and twenty cents

35
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:49,159
Airline Fair and Incidental's Hertford of Los
Angeles. I had an arranged for anybody

36
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,199
to meet me when I arrived at
La So I picked up my bags and

37
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:58,919
headed for the taxis. Stand Please
wait a second. He was a small

38
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,479
man, nervous and flattery, with
a shiny pink nose and a face like

39
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,560
a little white rabbit. I was
watching for you out from the ramp,

40
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,520
but somehow you must have slipped mine. You are mister Dollar, aren't you.

41
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:12,639
Yes, I'm Johnny Dollar, but
I don't think I am. Welch,

42
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,759
Presley Welch. I'm oh yeah,
sure, the district salesman here for

43
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,480
Trinity Mutual. That's right. Oh
how are you, mister Welch. I'm

44
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,040
out of breath at the moment from
running. You understand, you see,

45
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:29,079
I'm troubled occasionally by asthma. You
too, Oh do you have asthma?

46
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,399
Mister Dollar? No, it's a
friend of mine and Hartford. Oh oh,

47
00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:34,040
well, you don't say yes.
In fact, I came out here

48
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:38,839
just to cure it for him out. Oh, this is the worst place

49
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,399
you could have come. Oh you
see the smile here is sob oh.

50
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:46,560
No, I do believe you're joshing. I guess I amn't there. Come

51
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,639
on, let's SAYDD to my expense
account with a cup of coffee. You

52
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,959
really think we should? Oh?
Why not? Let's be daring, all

53
00:04:54,079 --> 00:05:00,600
right, Let's I always say if
the company California, if Pressley Well sold

54
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:04,519
insurance. The way he answered questions, it was amazing that he hadn't starved

55
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:09,600
it dead years ago. He skidded
around the field, flip flopped overhead,

56
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:12,800
and buzzed the tower, all verbally, of course, And for fifteen minutes

57
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,399
he didn't touch a wheel to the
ground. But when he did finally land,

58
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,600
he came in with a swoop.
I do hope you'll accept my apologies,

59
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:23,160
mister Dollar, for causing all this
trouble, because the whole thing is

60
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:27,079
my fault. Of course, I
don't see how unless you murdered Eddie Callin.

61
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,680
Why I scarcely knew it a perfect
dollarbar. Oh no, no,

62
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,399
no, no, you misunderstand why, Josh? What I meant was I

63
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:39,759
wrote the policy, and I knew
better right when I did it. Oh

64
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,439
what do you mean? Well,
mister Kidton was quite facetious about the whole

65
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,199
procedure. When I tried to point
out the retirement security factors in our multiple

66
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:53,439
endowment plan, he actually laughed.
You don't say yes, He said,

67
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,680
all the security he'd asked for was
two aces up in one for the kicking.

68
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,399
What about missus Kalen? What was
her adity? Well, she was

69
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,680
quite serious about it. Wasn't she
the one who actually applied for the policy?

70
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:09,399
Well, not technically the beneficiary carnt
you know it's against the rule?

71
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,199
Yeah? I know, but didn't
She was the one he has that called

72
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,839
me and asked me to come out
and talk to her husband, and he

73
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,120
finally signed the application, but he
seemed to regard it as a joke.

74
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,399
He only did it as a favor
to her, something of that sort.

75
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,519
And now it's turned out to be
a ten thousand dollars favor. What kind

76
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,680
of a woman is she? Mister
Walt. Well, she's quiet, well

77
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:33,560
mannered, quite charming. I thought, I I must confess, I thought

78
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,360
I could do with sympathy for her
in view of her husband's incessant flippancies,

79
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,079
A real happy fellow, positively frivolous
mister Dillon, and I should have been

80
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,600
worn by his attitude. You know, insurance is a serious business. Oh

81
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,279
sure, But Eddie Calan didn't laugh
himself to death. Oh oh mind,

82
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:58,439
or he died in the fire when
his automobile compa oh laugh. Oh,

83
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,000
I see what you mean to tell
me. How well did you get to

84
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,000
know that cal Oh, hardly at
all. I saw mister Calen twice,

85
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,720
once at his apartment the evening I
sold him the policy, and then two

86
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,920
weeks later at my office when he
came in to sign the piece. And

87
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,920
missus Calon only once that evening at
their apartment. She phoned me earlier in

88
00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:18,639
the week. And you haven't seen
her since her husband's death. No,

89
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:23,959
No, I phoned to express my
sympathy, but she wasn't available. She

90
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,199
hasn't filed a claim yet, No, but I knew she would, so

91
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,439
I took it on myself to notify
Hartford. I just can't help feeling guilty

92
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:34,360
about this, you know, Yes, so you mentioned, not that I

93
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,399
really am, of course, but
well you understand it's him. Oh,

94
00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:43,240
sure, I understand. Well,
I'll keep in touch. Watch out for

95
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:53,720
comedians, mister Weldon. Watch out
for whom? Oh comedian expensive god item

96
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,120
three six dollars and thirty five cents
taxi fair to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel and

97
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:03,680
the second taxi to the West Los
Angeles Precinct Police Station. The case wasn't

98
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,639
being handled by any of the usual
departments, Bureau of Homicide, Missing persons

99
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:11,759
and so on. The man in
charge was to take your Sergeant jose Reynosa

100
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:15,720
on attached working out of the Central
District on special assignment. Pull up a

101
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,959
chair, mister Dollar. When I
talk with him in his office, Rainosa

102
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:20,759
told me the reason for it.
Yeah, it's a funny deal, mister

103
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:24,600
Dollar. The facts in the case
could point a lot of different ways,

104
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:26,560
but the way it stands right now, they just don't add up in any

105
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,560
direction, at least not quite.
Do you mind filling me in on some

106
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,279
of those facts, Sergeant'll be glad
too. Last Thursday morning, at four

107
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,879
twenty am, we got a call
relay through the fire department to investigate a

108
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:41,639
burned automobile out on the palace Verda's
head lay up in the hills above the

109
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,440
harbor. The car was lying in
the bottom of a ravine below the road,

110
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,480
and it was a total loss.
Apparently the gas tank had burst and

111
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,159
flooded the whole interior. Oh what
do you mean? Apparently, Lee Upholster,

112
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,320
he may have been deliberately so good
gas. The arson squad isn't sure,

113
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,200
I see. That's why this case
doesn't quite fit in any nichem to

114
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:03,960
dollar. Might be homicide, might
be arson, missing person, or only

115
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,360
an accident. We're not sure yet. Anyway, there was a body in

116
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:11,759
the driver's seat, burned to a
cinder, unrecognizable, but we did recover

117
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:16,120
a few personal effects signal ring,
a keychain, wristwatched with a strap burned

118
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:22,399
off, a wallet badly scorched,
and I noticed the keychain has a metal

119
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,679
tank with the address Stampton It.
Yeah, that and a part of the

120
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:30,759
driver's license were the only leads.
Eddie Kaylin Argus Terrace apartments up on Sunnyway

121
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,840
Drive above the strip, so we
went up there and we ran into a

122
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,360
second surprise. What do you mean
nobody home. We attained access, found

123
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,200
the place in a mess. Apparently
been a fight. A chair and a

124
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,879
couple of lamps were broken, and
they were bloodstains in the living room.

125
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:48,279
What about missus? Kellen located her
the next afternoon. She'd been spending a

126
00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:50,759
few days with a friend's cabin up
at Arrowheads, as the friend confirming she

127
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:56,240
was there alone at her own car. She might have come back to town

128
00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:58,759
at night. But we got nothing
to prove it or disproven. Right,

129
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:03,960
just another one of those maybes,
all those cases, a collection of maybes.

130
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,799
Yeah, see what you mean?
Tell me, sergeant, just who

131
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:15,759
was Eddie Kylin? Eddie Kaylyn a
male Caucasian hight five eleven weight one seventy

132
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,440
five complexion, olive hair, medium
brown eyes, gray, age thirty four

133
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:24,480
birthplace was he wanted? He too? He called himself a promoter, then

134
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:28,240
a lot of things, small time
agent for a while, handled few singers

135
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,639
and dancers, vaudeville nightclubs. It's
been a book he off and on,

136
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,679
but mainly he was a gambler.
Or and there's another maybe for you now.

137
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,440
According to rumor, Eddie was in
an all day poker game. It

138
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,279
broke up only a few hours before
we found a car. The game was

139
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,960
supposedly run by a big time gambler
named Toppo Leanley, and the word has

140
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,120
it that Eddie cleaned up something over
sixty thousand dollars and there was no money

141
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,000
found on the body. You know, have you talked to this tomple sternly?

142
00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:58,480
We had him in here for four
hours this morning. He never heard

143
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:03,039
of Eddie Kalin, wouldn't know a
poker deck if he saw one. Spends

144
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,759
all his spare time raising petunias and
driving his dear old mother to church like

145
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:11,600
that. Like that. So there's
another one for you. Maybe Topoo didn't

146
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,519
like the idea of losing sixty grand
decided to get it back, or maybe

147
00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:20,200
the widow wanted the insurance. Or
it could be that somebody else took a

148
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:22,799
crack addict man. It's possible,
of course, that that he mailed the

149
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:26,440
sixty thousand to a blonde of Milwaukee
and just ran off the road by accident.

150
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,879
It's possible, but I don't think
so. I don't think it was

151
00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:33,720
an accident. I'm always getting cases
like this. It's a kind they always

152
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,519
put me on. Officially, it's
because I'm a college man and majored in

153
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:43,559
criminology. But actually it's because I'm
a Latin Mexican ancestry and they know I

154
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,639
get certain feelings about a case.
Hunches, and how do you feel about

155
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,480
this? One? Is hocky real
hockey and it's murdered, not an accident.

156
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,080
But beyond that, Ken savvy,
why don't you poke into a little

157
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,120
see what you can find that maybe
we can talk it out some more over.

158
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,600
A bottle of musketel? Yeah,
good night. Where can I find

159
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:09,159
missus Klan or the widow? Well, that's a good starting point. She's

160
00:12:09,159 --> 00:12:13,960
out at their apartment. There's the
addressing. Okay, thanks, Oh just

161
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,879
one other things, Sergeant Reinosa.
When you gained access to the apartment,

162
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,799
I assumed the door was locked.
Yeah, it took a little effort.

163
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:28,759
What kind of a lock automatic night
lanch spring cylinder? No, it was

164
00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:33,360
an old fashioned warden bowl had to
be locked with a key. What are

165
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,799
you getting at, mister dollar or
hunch of my own, sergeant. Let's

166
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:45,799
save it for the muscatel see you
later. Expense account item for two dollars

167
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,159
taxi to the Klein apartment in West
Hollywood. It was shortly after dusk by

168
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,240
now, and the lights were coming
on all over the city. It was

169
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,879
a cool, clear night. Los
Angeles said its best as we swung off

170
00:12:56,879 --> 00:13:00,679
the sunset strip and started climbing up
into the hill. As I looked back

171
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,519
across the basin toward the dark mass
of the Palas Verities headland that bounded the

172
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:07,600
far side of the great Carpet of
lights. Three nights ago a man had

173
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:11,960
died over there in the darkness,
and in a few minutes now I'd be

174
00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:15,559
talking to his widhole, or at
least to the woman who claimed to me

175
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:30,559
his widow. Keep the change.
The Argus Terrace apartments, like most of

176
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,159
them in that section, sprawled up
the hillside above the street, six or

177
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,240
rate apartments on as many different levels, all opening onto a central patio filled

178
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:41,240
with walks, steps, and banks
of tropical plantings. The Canon's apartment was

179
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:45,080
at the top, and I was
still fifty feet from him when the door

180
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,519
opened and a man came out and
hurried towards me. I stepped back against

181
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:58,200
the shrubbery and waited for him.
Good evening. Mister welch, oh,

182
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,159
oh, it's you. Your can
visit to missus? Callan second? Oh,

183
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,679
yes, yes it is. I
imagine you've been notified too. Notified.

184
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,159
Yes, I got a wire from
the home office in Hartford this evening.

185
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,559
That's why i'm here. Well,
missus Calyn has filed under the double

186
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:22,200
indemnity clause of the policy a claim
for ten thousand dollars she has. She

187
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,559
hopes it can be paid immediately and
without any trouble. Well, I don't

188
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:28,720
like to dash your ladies hopes,
mister Welsh, but I've got news for

189
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:33,799
the widow news. The claim won't
be paid immediately, and before this is

190
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,159
over, there's going to be a
lot of trouble. Oh. In fact,

191
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,720
mister Welsh. If my aunt is
right, this claim is not going

192
00:14:41,759 --> 00:15:03,159
to be paid at all. Johnny
Dollar, Missus Galen, I think mister

193
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:05,240
Welch told you i'd be around to
see you. Oh, yes, you're

194
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:09,360
the special investigator the insurance company send
out that's right, mind if I come

195
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:16,600
in? All right, mister Dollar, thanks and through here. Your company

196
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:20,679
didn't waste any time did they sending
you out here? I mean no,

197
00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:24,039
no more than you did in filing
your claim. I have a right to

198
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,279
it, Eddie gone. Now I
need the money, I see. Thanks?

199
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:33,080
How many keys are there to that
door? Keys? What do you

200
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,720
mean your front door? How many
keys do you have? Just one?

201
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,200
Of course Eddie had one? Why
what difference does it make? Just about

202
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:58,639
enough difference to hang somebody? Cigarette
Missus Kalon from Special Investigator Johnny Dollar,

203
00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:02,879
location, Los Angeles to the home
office Trinity Mutual Insurance Company Limited, Hartford,

204
00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:11,559
Connecticut, assignment the Killen matter expense
account continued. That's quite a dramatic

205
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,799
statement, mister Dalla. Are you
prepared to name that somebody who may get

206
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,559
hanged? Not at the moment.
Could it be that you don't have a

207
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:19,559
name. That's possible, of course, Yet you're just fishing, so to

208
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,840
speak, bluffing. Why would I
do that with you? I don't know,

209
00:16:25,039 --> 00:16:26,440
frankly, but you must have come
here for some reason. Yes,

210
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:30,879
I wanted to ask you a few
questions, and you'd be smart to answer

211
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:36,159
them under the circumstances. What circumstances? The only one I know anything about

212
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,320
is the tragic one of losing my
husband only three days ago. You have

213
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,200
my sympathy, Missus Killen. Judget
Minosa questioned me for hours. There's nothing

214
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,799
more to answer. Will you go
now? Please? All right? If

215
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,440
you say so your unwillingness to cooperate
will undoubtedly prejudice your claim for the insurance.

216
00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:56,759
That's all you care about, isn't
it finding some excuse for not paying

217
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,240
up the power of missus killen.
I'm not crooked, and neither is the

218
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:03,919
company. If a claim is legitimate, they pay it always. I'm sick

219
00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:07,519
of being on the suspicion of being
accused. I'm not accusing you of anything.

220
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,920
All I'm after is some information,
and if you refuse to give it,

221
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:19,200
good night, missus callan No wait, wait, mister dollar, Yes,

222
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:29,599
don't go come back. Please.
I'm sorry. I've been under such

223
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:32,359
a strain on edge. Forgive me, that's all right, I'd forget it.

224
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,880
I didn't mean what I said,
but I've answered so many questions,

225
00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:41,359
and to go through all of it
again, will it seems so pointless?

226
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,319
Yes, I understand. But I've
found that people say things to me sometimes

227
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,079
that they forget to say to the
police. They're more relaxed. I guess,

228
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,680
don't feel are on the spot so
much. But I thought it was

229
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,640
just me. Oh, you're not
alone. I remembered something like that.

230
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,799
After I talked to Sergeant Minosa,
he wanted to know where Eddie hung out,

231
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,400
mostly bars and so on. Only
think of two. What are the

232
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:11,079
names of the bars? Missus Killen, the Allowens on Beverly Boulevard and the

233
00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:15,240
Brass Monkey in down the Strip?
What difference does it make? Eddie wasn't

234
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:18,039
killed in the bar, No,
but he probably met people there. Talk

235
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,960
to them. You see, it's
a matter now of trying to reconstruct his

236
00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:26,240
life step by step, right up
to the moment he died. You'd be

237
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:33,240
surprised how much bartenders seeing here.
And remember I suppose they do. All

238
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:37,240
right, mister dollar, I'll be
glad to answer any questions you want to

239
00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:41,759
ask. Good one thing, though, I wasn't expecting visitors. Of course,

240
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,759
I wonder if I could have just
five minutes to change and freshen up

241
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:49,559
a little. All that's unnecessary.
I won't be here long, but i'd

242
00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:53,759
feel better. Really, do you
mind? No, no, of course,

243
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,559
not. Go ahead. I'll be
right back. Pour yourself a drink,

244
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:11,400
Johnny. I had to drink and
waited and got ready to brace myself.

245
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:15,440
I've been through this before. A
tag plan number two, a common

246
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,079
garden variety. When you can't beat
him, join him, and when the

247
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:25,039
joiner is a lovely woman. The
maneuver usually starts with some paraphrase of slip

248
00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:29,200
into something more comfortable, Why don't
you have a drink? And a sudden

249
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,039
switch to first names? And it
always ends up with you and I against

250
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:38,440
the world, And couldn't you forget
just one little mistake? The little mistake

251
00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:44,680
being something like arsenic and a husband's
coffee in an old, familiar pattern and

252
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:48,880
a first resort just as often as
a last. She was gone twenty minutes,

253
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:55,039
not five. But it was time
well spent, carefully casual touch,

254
00:19:55,079 --> 00:20:02,160
with a hair make up, skillfully
softened perfume and one of those froth nylon

255
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:14,200
jobs designed for that special evening in
you will call charge like another drink journey?

256
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:18,759
Thanks, I still have something I
think I could use one? Would

257
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:22,039
you mind? Sure? What do
you have? Scotch and soda? Please?

258
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:30,519
Thanks for being so patient. I
feel better now, more comfortable high

259
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:37,000
something like that easy emisoda? Right
there you are, missus Killen. Thanks?

260
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:38,519
Would you do something else for me? Oh? I'd be happy to,

261
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,519
but I don't know your first name
to see? All right? What

262
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:52,559
are your questions? How do you
think it happened? I don't know not

263
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:57,799
some enemy, because Eddie didn't have
any, just friends, too many friends?

264
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,759
Who are some of them? There's
only one who really fits the definition,

265
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:07,559
who who's really lasted. His name
is Pete Steimer. Pete Steimer.

266
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:10,680
Where can I find him? You
can't, or at least the police haven't

267
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,920
been able to. Nobody's seen him
since that night. He's had nightclubs off

268
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,759
and on, and in between him
makes books. What about those other friends?

269
00:21:18,759 --> 00:21:22,240
Are the ones who don't last?
They drift in, drift out,

270
00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:27,680
depending mostly on whether Eddie had any
money at the moment. Of course,

271
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:34,079
there were women, all show girls, mostly dancers, strippers. Know any

272
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,160
of them, hardly ever hear any
of their names. Oh, he's made

273
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:44,559
a point not to Otherwise I'd have
killed him long ago. Did you kill

274
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,160
him, missus Kennon? No?
Did you love him? That's a good

275
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,839
question. I think I'll have to
pass it, though I don't really know.

276
00:21:56,759 --> 00:22:04,920
I feel all hollow, smashed up
inside over what happened. And yet

277
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:10,759
there were times I'd have killed him
myself, i'd had a gun. But

278
00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:14,240
there were other times too, when
it was so crazy sweet you wanted to

279
00:22:14,279 --> 00:22:19,440
die because you knew I'd never be
like that. Again. Now, that's

280
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:26,160
where it was with Eddie, mad
mixed up, like watching a ten ringed

281
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,400
circus from the front seat in a
roller coaster. That's why a women flocked

282
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:36,160
around him. That's why they always
ran from him. Later, you didn't

283
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,079
run. Could I have another drink? Passhure? Were you trying to run

284
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,680
when you went up to Arrowhead by
yourself? Maybe you got a fight.

285
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,119
I ran out, told him I
wasn't coming back, and only three days

286
00:22:52,200 --> 00:23:00,559
later over the radio I heard where
he'd been found dead. Here you go.

287
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:07,440
I guess you call it shock.
I still can't really believe it,

288
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,680
even though I know it's true.
Well, I guess you shouldn't know.

289
00:23:10,759 --> 00:23:14,119
I understand. You're the one who
identified the body. I identified a wallet,

290
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:18,359
burned black, the wristwatch ring,
all of them things I bought for

291
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:25,720
him. They told me there wasn't
anything that could be called a body.

292
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,559
Yeah, well, I'm sorry,
missus Callan. I know this is painful.

293
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,440
Like I said, I can't believe
it. Really. Do you have

294
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:40,319
any other reason for not believing Eddie
is really dead? I mean besides just

295
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:47,319
a feeling? No, of course
not. What do you mean? What

296
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,160
do you mean? I'll always it's
just a question, that's all. Forget

297
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,519
it. But let's get back for
a moment to another question. You said

298
00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:57,240
you were sure it wasn't some personal
enemy who killed your husband. Then what

299
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:02,319
do you think the same as the
police. I guess they said Eddie won

300
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,680
a lot of money that night from
some gambler named Toppo Lanley. You don't

301
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,559
know this Topo Lanley. Huh No, but I suppose that's why Eddie was

302
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,319
killed. The money wasn't found,
so I guess it was Robbie. Did

303
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:18,039
you know about the money? Not
all happened while I was up at Arrowhead.

304
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,880
Anyway, Eddie ever had any money, I'd be the last one I

305
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,920
know about it. He always spent
his money where it would show get something

306
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,400
for it. Laughs, bells,
whistles, balloons going up. Not at

307
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,119
home. Never. Yeah, I'm
sorry, forget I said that. I

308
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:42,240
hate women who sit around drooling with
self pity like you said. I didn't

309
00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:51,359
run. I guess maybe I did
love him, mister Darling. Is there

310
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,720
anything else? No? No,
I guess not, at least not tonight.

311
00:24:55,799 --> 00:25:00,279
You look a little beat. Yes, I'm afraid I am. You

312
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,440
go around trying to keep up affront
that's been rough. Yeah, I imagine

313
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:12,160
what business a while ago fixing myself
up a little this robe. I just

314
00:25:12,279 --> 00:25:17,279
had to do it. There are
times when a woman has to feel like

315
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:25,920
a woman in order to feel anything. Even saying I guess you wouldn't understand,

316
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:32,400
though, and I'm afraid I gave
the wrong impression. No, I

317
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,880
think I do understand that now.
And I also think I owe you an

318
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,400
apology for what for walking in here
with a preconceived opinion, for being rude,

319
00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:49,880
being wrong. I'm sorry forgive me, forgiven, forgotten, and come

320
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:56,519
back again, please regardless, I
might on one condition. Yes, your

321
00:25:56,519 --> 00:26:00,319
first name, would you mind it? It's Lilah. Thanks like that,

322
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:08,240
good night, good night. I
caught a flash of movement from the corner

323
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,960
of my eye and whirled around,
just in time to see somebody slip off

324
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,000
the corner of the terrace and edge
into the shadows of the shrubbery. I

325
00:26:15,079 --> 00:26:18,079
stepped off the porch and moved toward
the dark hedge of banana scrub bomb.

326
00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:22,039
I was watching for a sudden attack, but nothing happened. Then I heard

327
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:23,720
a slight sound on the next terrace
level up the slope, A rustle of

328
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,480
bushes and accidental scrape of a shoe
on the cement walk, and I slipped

329
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:32,440
along the walk. I stopped at
the head of the steps and listened nothing.

330
00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:36,200
The only way out of the patio
to reach the street was to come

331
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,240
past me. I started searching,
but even though I was on guard,

332
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:42,920
when the attack came and caught me
off balance. All I could see was

333
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,799
a dark shape and the glint of
metal at an upraised fist. I grabbed

334
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:49,680
the arm and twisted and rolled my
left into his stomach. And again he

335
00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:52,039
rode to his knees and raised his
right hand, and again I saw the

336
00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:56,720
glint of metal. I jumped on
grammed his hand, twisted it back,

337
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:03,880
and at the same time I swung
my kicked him out a jaw. Are

338
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,880
you all right? Yeah, I'm
all right, Carl, Sergeant Reynoso,

339
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:15,880
would your lillah? It was out
cold. I turned him over on his

340
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,519
back and struck a match to get
a look at him. He was a

341
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:22,240
big man, stocky, bull neck, blonde haired. I slid my hand

342
00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:25,759
inside his coat and fished out his
wallet and opened it. His name was

343
00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:45,759
Tompo Leanley. No, here's our
star to tell you about Tomorrow's intriguing episode

344
00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:49,920
of this week's story. Tomorrow we
meet a Latin doll from Santa Monica,

345
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:56,880
an area nite bartender, and a
Terpsichorean ectysiast, and they're all in the

346
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:18,160
cast. Join us, won't you? Yours True Johnny Dollar? Yours Truly

347
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:23,319
Johnny Dollar starring Bob Bailey is transcribed
in Hollywood, written by Les Crutchfield.

348
00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:29,079
It is produced and directed by Jack
Johnstone. Be sure to join us tomorrow

349
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,759
night at same time and station for
the next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny

350
00:28:33,839 --> 00:29:44,000
Dollar. Roy Rowan speaking welcome back, Well. This is an episode that

351
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:51,400
shows the sort of two edged sword
of Johnny's experience. He kind of knows

352
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,000
patterns and is able to recognize them, but sometimes can jump to conclusions that

353
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:03,920
things apply univer versely, and I
think that that's behind the change of tone

354
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,319
with missus Klin. I don't think
he's ruled her out as a suspect at

355
00:30:08,359 --> 00:30:12,799
this point in the investigation, but
for now he's giving her the benefit of

356
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:19,640
the doubt. These first two episodes
are a lot about gathering information and setting

357
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:26,160
the stage, but with just enough
action to keep it interesting and clothing the

358
00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:33,680
very sudden encounter with Topo Leanley to
wrap up episode two, and I think

359
00:30:33,759 --> 00:30:40,440
that that also kind of serves to
set the stage for bringing Leanley more into

360
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,559
the story, particularly as he may
have a major rule to play, although

361
00:30:44,599 --> 00:30:48,359
I will say I don't remember precisely
how this one turns out yet, so

362
00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:52,000
I'll be eager to see where this
goes from here. Well, now we

363
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:56,799
turn to lessener comments and feedback,
and we start on YouTube where Ron's her

364
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:03,599
right. Regarding the Amy Bradshaw manner, I've always wanted to order the inflatable

365
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,400
animals, but I guess the offer
has expired. Also, I've always wondered

366
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:14,920
if the offer was real or a
giant scam. This is a good question.

367
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:21,079
In terms of whether it's a scam, I would lean towards it being

368
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:29,839
real, at least in terms of
them shipping out some product. Running nationwide

369
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:37,039
ads on CBS radio, even with
the decline in advertising rates, would require

370
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:45,799
a lot of capital and probably more
than a Eye by Night organization would possess.

371
00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:49,960
Whether folks got something that was really
worth it, I don't know,

372
00:31:51,079 --> 00:31:56,400
particularly at that rate. What you
may have bought may have been a bit

373
00:31:56,559 --> 00:32:00,599
disappointing. Now I did do some
research on line to see if I could

374
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:07,440
find any use sets or an open
set, and I could not. But

375
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:15,160
I think that from the description it
sounds less like something that a toy collector

376
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:23,000
would seek out and more like something
that would go to the Goodwill without a

377
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:30,480
second thought. Plus the inflatable element
would also make it likely for parts of

378
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,680
the set to get damaged. So
if there are any toy collectors in the

379
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,599
audience who have had it or somehow
encountered it, I'd like to know,

380
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,640
but I've not found one myself,
and I do wonder what the quality of

381
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,559
it was. Then we have a
comment from Geno, who writes the description

382
00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:52,039
area is a good place to put
all of the show deals. I listened

383
00:32:52,079 --> 00:32:54,160
to a lot of old time radio, and most of the good channels take

384
00:32:54,200 --> 00:33:00,920
the time to edit out all of
the outdated commercials, especially the rexol and

385
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:06,519
cigarette commercials that we have heard a
thousand times before. I will admit I've

386
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:09,599
never heard the huge Animals commercial and
found it funny, but you get the

387
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:15,680
idea. I like to like,
share and subscribe to channels that take the

388
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,759
time to make the experience better.
Also, you will admit that some of

389
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:24,400
the Johnny Dollar autos are really long. They run out of material and you

390
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:30,640
get two or three minutes of theme
songs, just suggestions. Respect the late

391
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,839
jam. Well, thank you so
much, appreciate the suggestion. Now,

392
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:42,400
I have looked at some old time
radio programs on YouTube, and to be

393
00:33:42,559 --> 00:33:50,519
honest, I've not heard many that
actually go ahead and edit out commercials.

394
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,519
Maybe I don't get to the best
YouTube channels, but most seem to just

395
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:02,720
kind of post them verbatim and mostly
do lavin commercials. There are some that

396
00:34:02,759 --> 00:34:08,960
I cut, but most I end
up leaving in because I find them interesting

397
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:15,400
and a lot of lesseners say they
do a good job of capturing the era

398
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:21,559
and the feeling of what that was
like. Now with these multipart Johnny Doller

399
00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:27,239
episodes that there are some choices if
you're going to do more than run a

400
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:34,199
single part at a time, and
we do cut some parts of the program

401
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:43,000
file. Mostly it comes down to
music, which involves cutting the opening scene

402
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:51,800
from middle episodes and cutting from the
closing music or episodes that aren't a final

403
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:58,079
episode in a podcast, so we
only hear the closing music on episodes two

404
00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:05,079
and five. Now, I I
have heard other websites. I don't know

405
00:35:05,119 --> 00:35:10,719
if podcasts, but other people who
have combined episodes have cut even more,

406
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:16,639
and my personal opinion personal feeling,
no judgment on them. Certainly, I

407
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:22,199
can understand the philosophy of approach,
but to me, it kind of seems

408
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:28,760
choppy. And again, it's a
decision, and some might prefer that because

409
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:34,639
it's a bit quicker when it comes
to the closing theme while it can go

410
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:39,239
on for a while. I'm not
inclined to cut it because that was part

411
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:45,960
of the original listening experience and you
know, I'm fine with cutting, you

412
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,199
know, from the middle episode so
we can get into next episode. I

413
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:58,119
mean, there's no reason to listen
to two minutes of theme music between episodes

414
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,119
one and two, But when you
get to the end, I don't see

415
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:08,639
a reason for rush. I think
certainly with modern day programming, the amount

416
00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:15,760
of time for credits has been shortened, and I think that on network television

417
00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:20,440
it was to add more ad space. They didn't do it so they could

418
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,480
add plot. They did it so
they could keep kind of approximately the same

419
00:36:23,519 --> 00:36:29,559
amount of plot but sell more advertising. And then it kind of got into

420
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:32,400
a bunch of the streaming services as
like Hey, hey, hey, come

421
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,400
on, let's go ahead bench the
next episode, bene, Bench Bene.

422
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:42,039
But to me, with older programs, it's just not something I go for.

423
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,519
In fact, I get a little
annoyed. I know it's probably not

424
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:52,559
rationally annoyed. When I'm watching The
Rockford Files and I get an offer from

425
00:36:52,679 --> 00:36:58,039
the streaming service, who in the
credits and skip to the next episode of

426
00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:02,440
The Rockford Files and skip the opening
credits. You do not skip the opening

427
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:07,119
credits of The Rockford Files as far
as I'm concerned, And that'd be like

428
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,880
skipping the opening of the Eight Teams. So that's kind of my feeling on

429
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:17,039
that. I do care about listener
experience. But if the listeners would rather

430
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:22,760
not listen to so much music at
the end, they can do several things.

431
00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:27,280
They can stop, you know,
if they don't want to hear the

432
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:32,079
commentary, or they can hit the
skip fifteen button on their player to go

433
00:37:32,119 --> 00:37:37,480
ahead to the point where I get
into the commentary, or they can speed

434
00:37:37,519 --> 00:37:40,239
it up and have the music go
by quickly, as well as getting a

435
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,639
few seconds of me talking like Alvin
from Alvin and the Chipmunks. But if

436
00:37:45,679 --> 00:37:49,840
I were to cut the theme music
short, it would kind of leave people

437
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,559
with no choice but to be rushed
through the theme music. I don't find

438
00:37:53,599 --> 00:37:59,079
that enjoyable as a listener, and
I wouldn't go with that option. But

439
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:04,719
you raise them in resting points and
kind of glad to explain why we edit

440
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,719
things the way we do here.
And then we have a comment from Eric

441
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:15,639
over on Facebook, and Eric writes
regarding the Broadrick matter, I think,

442
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,079
hands down the best Johnny Dollar story. Maybe it was based on two other

443
00:38:20,119 --> 00:38:24,760
episodes, but the way the writer
slash adapter combined them was magic. Broadrick's

444
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,679
fear of being left is what caused
her to leave everyone. The check writing

445
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,679
was part of her just giving up
and deciding she must be a bad person

446
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,400
because she did such bad things,
so she was going to do that.

447
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,400
However, she's generally a good person
and she didn't have it in her.

448
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:45,360
Her inability to live with herself is
what drove her over the edge. It

449
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,440
was very well done. I think
that's kind of a muddled explanation, but

450
00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:52,679
I think I got my point across. I would agree this serial, oddly

451
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:58,400
is the one where I decided to
drop out of Johnny Doller on the last

452
00:38:58,519 --> 00:39:01,880
run in hindsight, it's that I
chose such a great episode to do so

453
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,960
on looking forward to what comes next
one. Thanks so much, Eric,

454
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,159
and I'm glad you're going on.
And I relate because I have had times

455
00:39:10,159 --> 00:39:15,480
in my life where I've done things
and I've come back, you know,

456
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,639
months or years later. And it's
not that I don't think I did what

457
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:25,480
I did and I remember doing it, but I'm like, Okay, why

458
00:39:25,519 --> 00:39:30,280
this doesn't make any sense to me
at the present. And I've talked about

459
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:36,119
how we change over time, and
I guess that's part of it. Finally,

460
00:39:36,159 --> 00:39:39,440
we have a voicemail. Let's go
ahead and take a listen to this

461
00:39:39,519 --> 00:39:45,199
from Jonathan. Hi, Adam just
found this phone number on a twenty fourteen

462
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:53,079
episode of Johnny Toller. Just wanted
to tell you doing a great job of

463
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:59,880
everything. This is Jonathan from Las
Vegas and keep up the good work.

464
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:07,480
Thanks so much, Jonathan. And
I believe that I've received a few really

465
00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:13,360
interesting emails for them Jonathan in Las
Vegas. Not one percent certain it's the

466
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,800
same Jonathan, because they're probably more
than one, but if so great to

467
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,480
put a voice to the emails.
And I don't mention that as much,

468
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:28,079
but yeah, you can call leave

of the Klan Manner, but join us

477
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:17,039
back here tomorrow for Dangerous Assignment where
the works. I nose around inquiring about

478
00:41:17,039 --> 00:41:22,039
Alice Chambers. Finally I learned that
her rooming house is just around the corner.

479
00:41:22,159 --> 00:41:24,039
I turned the corner. Then I
spot a crowd in front of the

480
00:41:24,039 --> 00:41:27,920
doorway, with a couple of cops
pushing them back. On the edge of

481
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,880
the crowd stands a tall, skinny
gent wearing a long black beard and a

482
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:37,360
long white toga. Excuse me,
I'd like to get by, Oh,

483
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:42,280
my friend. You disappoint me.
As I watched you approach, I thought,

484
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,679
here is a man of character,
Surely he will not stoop to this.

485
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:50,280
Yet here you are yielding to the
same morbid curiosity which is the common

486
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:55,320
denominator of the ignoramesis which our crafts
and materialistic culture spews forth upon our sidewalks

487
00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:00,519
in ever increasing multiple looks. Saved
the lecture, professor, I do not

488
00:42:00,639 --> 00:42:05,320
remember making your acquaintance. Yet you
seem familiar with the title which my earnest,

489
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,519
but unfortunately too few students have bestowed
upon me. Just psychic, I

490
00:42:08,519 --> 00:42:14,400
guess, Hey, what's going on
anyway? Merely another unfortunate instance of man's

491
00:42:14,519 --> 00:42:17,800
inhumanity to man? Will you skip
the double talk? Hey? Does Alice

492
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:22,039
Chambers live in this rooming house?
A very profound question, my friend?

493
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:25,880
What's so profound about it? A
question which has occupied the minds of philosophers

494
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:30,880
and theologians for centuries. Whither doth
the soul take flight from the body's soul?

495
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:34,639
Body? Hey? Wait a minute, what are you talking about this?

496
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,920
Alice cham What about her? It
would appear that at some time during

497
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:43,239
the course of the night she was
murdered. Hope you'll be with us then.
