Speaker 2: It's time now for Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Dollen.
Speaker 3: A plane crash, Johnny, did you hear?
Speaker 1: Yes, I just turned off my radio. Oh it's horrible.
Speaker 1: Who is this?
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry, it's Sam Harris, Columbia.
Speaker 1: Oh. Sure, does your company carry the policies on that airline?
Speaker 3: Yes, but I'm not thinking of that.
Speaker 4: That crash was planned.
Speaker 1: They're definite about it now.
Speaker 3: Yes, an explosion, some kind of a bomb. There were
Speaker 3: thirteen people killed in the plane. They don't know how
Speaker 3: many in the houses have crashed into We've got to
Speaker 3: place responsibility. The company wants to do whatever it can.
Speaker 3: We've got to find whoever is responsible.
Speaker 1: Sure, mister Harris, you want me to go out, Yes,
Speaker 1: we do.
Speaker 3: The airline representative is a man named Reed. Go out
Speaker 3: and do everything you.
Speaker 2: Can O'Brien in a transcribed Adventure of the Man with
Speaker 2: the action packed expenser car America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator.
Speaker 1: Yours Truly, Johnny Dallar. Expense account submitted by Special Investigator
Speaker 1: Johnny Dallar to Home Office, Columbia or Risk Insurance Company.
Speaker 1: The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation
Speaker 1: of the Fairway matter. The Spenser account Item one two
Speaker 1: fifty cab fair of the scene of the plane crash, which,
Speaker 1: as unoch covered quite a bit of territory. The Fairway
Speaker 1: Airlines plane had taken off at eight twenty PM, had
Speaker 1: reached an altitude of no more than a thousand feet,
Speaker 1: and then had crashed, setting a fire two houses a
Speaker 1: short distance from the Springfield Hartford Airport. I got there
Speaker 1: a little after nine thirty. One house had been partially saved,
Speaker 1: but the other had been completely demolished. The family of
Speaker 1: four living in it had been killed. The parents of
Speaker 1: one child in the first house weren't expected to live,
Speaker 1: and beyond twisted pieces of a plane were scattered at
Speaker 1: a field. Fragman is still smoking and turned white by
Speaker 1: the phone from chemical extinguisher.
Speaker 4: Serene. Mister Carl Reen over here?
Speaker 1: What is he?
Speaker 4: Please and wait.
Speaker 1: In your car. Will let you know as soon as
Speaker 1: we're care. Yes, who you are from? My name is Doma,
Speaker 1: the insurance company said insurance company. Good lord, this is
Speaker 1: hardly the time to worry about money. I'm a private
Speaker 1: investigator that hired me to help him any way I
Speaker 1: can and pick the plane I'm sorry, I misundissitude.
Speaker 4: I guess I.
Speaker 1: Oh, you will have to excuse me. This is good.
Speaker 4: Who there are some things I have to do.
Speaker 1: Come along, mister g Gee. I just know about the explosion,
Speaker 1: and she thinks since the chance where her daughter wasn't
Speaker 1: on the plane she was, she was stewardous. You haven't
Speaker 1: told her. I let her hope for a couple of
Speaker 1: more hours. Why shouldn't I I've had to tell too
Speaker 1: many people. It's it's just horrible. I think, even worse
Speaker 1: than if it had been an accident, and you know
Speaker 1: it was premeditated. When you know someone planned it, What
Speaker 1: kind of person would would you have to beat it
Speaker 1: to plan something like this. It's under believed, mister aid,
Speaker 1: but we have proof it was an explosion in the
Speaker 1: extreme after section that destroyed all the control cables to
Speaker 1: the tailor's head. I don't suppose the Civil Aeronautics man,
Speaker 1: as we know it was on his way as sending
Speaker 1: one of their best s W. Newton, Captain Lenhard of
Speaker 1: the State nieces here though. Oh, I'd like to speak
Speaker 1: to him, and you have any idea where he is
Speaker 1: the last time I saw him he was doubled by
Speaker 1: that amph it's left, but to see the group of
Speaker 1: men over by the hangar. Yeah, they collected the bodies.
Speaker 1: There mayde as many identifications as possible. I know it's planned,
Speaker 1: mister Reid, but don't you go at pieces, Hi, That
Speaker 1: wouldn't help him. I'll be all right, help I'll see
Speaker 1: you let out. I remembered Captain Jim Lenhard, my case
Speaker 1: we shared last year, and I found him in the
Speaker 1: group of silent man. The silence and the expressions told
Speaker 1: better than words how they felt about the row of
Speaker 1: sheet draped bodies on the ground. I was readmaking up.
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to pieces a little while ago.
Speaker 1: He's still in pretty bad shape. You he's not alone.
Speaker 1: But for us anyway, Dollar, it could have been worse,
Speaker 1: plane could have been filled. Yeah, it crossed my mind,
Speaker 1: and you and I are thinking together, Captain, that our
Speaker 1: approach will be to find out, if we can, which
Speaker 1: victim was the planned victim. Oh, with what we have now,
Speaker 1: I don't see any other way to start, do you.
Speaker 1: The possibilities as I see them, a murder with a motive,
Speaker 1: suicide disguised, or a homicidal maniac that must cover I
Speaker 1: have men covering airport for a two mile circle around it.
Speaker 1: Their orders are to question everybody at this spot, search
Speaker 1: every car. It's about all we can do tonight. Now,
Speaker 1: I'll see you in the morning. Then if it's all right,
Speaker 1: view it sure is. Glad to heavy on the case.
Speaker 1: I'll Mitchell in my office at nine. Good. Oh, there's
Speaker 1: another ambulance, and get the rest of these poor devils
Speaker 1: into the morgue. Try to find out who they are.
Speaker 1: The next morning, the official findings were released. The explosive
Speaker 1: had been nitro glycerin that had been detonated by some
Speaker 1: electrical means, which it was assumed was connected to a
Speaker 1: timing device that had not yet been found. Captain Lenhardt's
Speaker 1: men had questioned the number of suspicious characters near the
Speaker 1: airport without result, but he himself had received an anonymous
Speaker 1: tip on a possible suspect, a Wilbo Wheeler, who was
Speaker 1: a member of the ground crew that had serviced the
Speaker 1: plane just before its takeoff. Wheeler was shown to the
Speaker 1: Captain's aves about forty minutes after I'd gone. Man, why'd you.
Speaker 4: Pick me to come up here? Why didn't you get
Speaker 4: Straker or Mills? They're over me.
Speaker 1: It's just routine wheeling, routine, but you must.
Speaker 4: Have a reason. I got a right to know if
Speaker 4: you got a reason have at.
Speaker 1: Night, why do you think we started with you?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm asking you.
Speaker 1: And I said, Wieler. Can't you say you don't know
Speaker 1: the stewardess who died in that crash? Surely good you?
Speaker 1: I know, I know. I understand that she meant something
Speaker 1: to him. Were you in love with her? Yes, we
Speaker 1: understand that you made quite a pest of yourself phoning
Speaker 1: her at home, waiting for her at the airport, and
Speaker 1: then a week or so ago you learned she was
Speaker 1: going to marry the co pilot who was killed. What's
Speaker 1: his name, Bill Strand? Wasn't it Willna? Yeah, you're saying
Speaker 1: that you think I caused that crash. You wanted to
Speaker 1: know why you were here. I told you it was
Speaker 1: just routine wheeling, and it would have been if you'd
Speaker 1: acted differently. But it sounded as though you were trying
Speaker 1: to hide some facts from us. I won't anymore. Don't.
Speaker 4: I don't have any reason to?
Speaker 1: And why did you?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I've been going crazy since I heard
Speaker 4: about it. Last night. I was still at the field night,
Speaker 4: I got sick and.
Speaker 1: I had to go home. Yeah, we heard about that.
Speaker 1: I got home and I turned on my radio and
Speaker 1: I heard what caused the crash, that explosion. I knew
Speaker 1: that a lot of things I've said, a lot of
Speaker 1: things I'd done were gonna make trouble for me.
Speaker 4: Even getting sick and coming home was bad.
Speaker 1: What were some of the other things? I said some
Speaker 1: pretty bad things to Shirley when I heard she was
Speaker 1: gonna marry Strand. Then I had a fight with him.
Speaker 1: I had to fight with him over the same thing. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess for me, it was really over that. He
Speaker 1: ordered me around one day and I didn't like it,
Speaker 1: and that's how it started.
Speaker 4: He beat me up pretty bad and said he'd have
Speaker 4: my job.
Speaker 1: And I told him that I'd see the day as
Speaker 1: playing with him in it would be plastered to get
Speaker 1: some hill.
Speaker 4: I know it sounds like na, but it didn't mean anything.
Speaker 4: It was just talk.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of that. Ah, you heard enough, noll And,
Speaker 1: I think so that's all went winter, I can go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody would be stupid enough to compromise himself the way
Speaker 1: you did and pull a job like.
Speaker 4: This, and sure made a lot of mistakes.
Speaker 1: I know that. Yeah, just be around where we can
Speaker 1: find you if we wanna talk to you anymore.
Speaker 4: But I can't go back to the airport, Sir, I
Speaker 4: was gonna call him and quit if.
Speaker 1: Sorright, w you just be where we can find you,
Speaker 1: That's all I will. I'm sorry. A lot of people
Speaker 1: are Wheeler. Oh no, well, goodbye Winner, thanks for coming down. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: what do you think?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: The only reason I say I for get him is
Speaker 1: because he's the first one we'd questioned, and things don't
Speaker 1: work out that way. Yeah, Collins. Uh. The man just
Speaker 1: leaving my office names Wheeler, Wilbur Wheeler. How two of
Speaker 1: the boys get on him and stay all arranged? Were
Speaker 1: leading tonight? Yeah, I think I'd like to know it's
Speaker 1: in his background. I'd like to get a psychiatrist's reaction,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you we learned about him. No, let's get on
Speaker 1: this list of passengers and see what we can get
Speaker 1: from their survivors. We spent the rest of the day
Speaker 1: in the efforts of six more of Captain Lenhart's men
Speaker 1: preparing files on the ten dead passengers. One file contained
Speaker 1: nothing but a name Rupert Stone, gotten from the ticket
Speaker 1: office records is that of a man who had paid
Speaker 1: cash for space to Augusta, Maine. The heart for address
Speaker 1: he had given was non existent, and the phone number
Speaker 1: rang a bakery where no one had ever heard of
Speaker 1: a Rupert Stone. That one we dropped until the accurate
Speaker 1: identification of the bodies was complete. Lenhard and I started
Speaker 1: out to follow up a couple of the others that evening.
Speaker 1: This is a rock and work check. Missus Graham, Yes,
Speaker 1: this is mister Dollar. I'm Captain Lenhart of the State Police.
Speaker 1: We'd like to talk to you about the death of
Speaker 1: your husband.
Speaker 4: No, I've talked too much.
Speaker 1: It only keeps in my mind the things I saw
Speaker 1: in that field. The women's crying. We know, Missus Graham,
Speaker 1: but it's our job to fix the responsibility. We only
Speaker 1: want to ask you a few questions. You ought to
Speaker 1: help find whoever caused all those desks if you could,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you?
Speaker 4: How can I have?
Speaker 1: Man? May we come in all right, but only a
Speaker 1: little while I haven't slept. Uh? Thank you? Well?
Speaker 4: No, Skipper be.

Speaker 1: often he would go to visit his brother's grave. I see, Uh,
Speaker 1: I I think that's all we needed. Wasn't a dollar
Speaker 1: to to recheck his planting? Yeah? Uh yes, I I
Speaker 1: think that was only I. I think we'd better go.
Speaker 1: Weren't sorry to bothered you, missus Graham? And uh, thank
Speaker 1: you very much for seeing alright, Yes, thanks very much. Oh,
Speaker 1: don't bother to get up. You don't have to come
Speaker 1: to the door with us. Good night, good night night.
Speaker 4: Quiet skip her, he won't come back.
Speaker 1: I couldn't cut it. Think that dog did it? Sorry,
Speaker 1: don't apologize to me. How the did something happened to
Speaker 1: be since I was a rookie, forget it. But grilling
Speaker 1: a poor old woman to find out if her husband's
Speaker 1: cancer might have driven him to suicide and I couldn't
Speaker 1: go through it a whole rotten mess. Ah, he gets
Speaker 1: getting it so well? Why don't we have a couple
Speaker 1: of drinks on the way downtown to get it for
Speaker 1: the night? Man or trying to That suits me, you know,
Speaker 1: while's on Front Street. That's fine anything, So let's go.
Speaker 1: Then I'll hold him from there and have columns check
Speaker 1: me off duty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh you praised to leave.
Speaker 1: No, he had a phone. I'll catch you.
Speaker 2: Dollar sixty shirt, thanks, keep it, thank you.
Speaker 1: Oh here come, I'll wreck up dollar. I guess I'll
Speaker 1: have to waste mine because it seems I'm not off duty.
Speaker 1: What happened. I'll go back to that stewardess again. The
Speaker 1: explosive has been checked to her equipment. The lab men
Speaker 1: say some twisted battle lay found used to be our
Speaker 1: first aid box. I think it was in there. And
Speaker 1: brings Wilbo Wheeler back again too, and he's been picked
Speaker 1: up right now. I don't think I need this drink
Speaker 1: to get through a session with him.
Speaker 2: We will return you to the second act of yours, truly,
Speaker 2: Johnny Dollar. In Just a Moment, Lee Tracy plays his
Speaker 2: rollicking screen role of Hildy Johnson newspaperman in Hecton MacArthur's
Speaker 2: perennial comedy The Front Page tomorrow night on CBS Broadway Playhouse.
Speaker 2: It's an all fun cast headed by Lee Tracy as
Speaker 2: Chicago's Hecton MacArthur farce about crime reporters comes to life
Speaker 2: once again on Broadway Playhouse tomorrow night, over most of
Speaker 2: these same CBS stations. Now, with our star Edmond O'Brien,
Speaker 2: we return you to the second act of yours, truly,
Speaker 2: Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 1: Not necessarily were not necessarily?
Speaker 4: Well, I heard you do.
Speaker 1: Did you locate Carl Reibeller? Yeah, he was at home. Well,
Speaker 1: a guy's been under doctor's camp that I think I
Speaker 1: got what we need. I YouTube been getting along. We'll
Speaker 1: have just got here. We were covering the point of
Speaker 1: whether or not I have a rife of have him
Speaker 1: brought down here?
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm wrong?
Speaker 1: You are? Didn't you want to come wilden? I guess
Speaker 1: I don't like the idea of being poured into a
Speaker 1: police car twice in one day, with everybody in the
Speaker 1: block gawking at me. A lot of people have been
Speaker 1: loaded into police cars today, wheer they were glad to
Speaker 1: come in and do anything they could to help clear
Speaker 1: this thing up.
Speaker 4: I want to help too. I didn't mean it that way.
Speaker 1: Glad to hear that. How long have you worked for
Speaker 1: the Fairway Airline?
Speaker 4: About a year and a half, I.
Speaker 1: Guess what'd you do before that?
Speaker 4: What do you mean? You still think I had something
Speaker 4: to do with that crash? That's what you mean it.
Speaker 1: We'd like to find out who did, wouldn't you? But
Speaker 1: you think I did it and I didn't. I told
Speaker 1: you I didn't, even you said I didn't. And it
Speaker 1: sounds like you've got nothing to worry about, So calm
Speaker 1: down and answer our question.
Speaker 4: I want to know why you're asking questions like that.
Speaker 4: Why did you bring me.
Speaker 1: Back here because some new evidence has turned up? That's why?
Speaker 4: What does that have to do with me?
Speaker 1: It has to do with Shirley Goodie. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you mean. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: I told you everything there was about her and me.
Speaker 1: Did you know that she carried a first aid kid
Speaker 1: about the plane last night?
Speaker 4: First aid kid? I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 1: You don't after working there a year and a half,
Speaker 1: What did you do on the plane?
Speaker 4: Brought food on, checked the water and a few.
Speaker 1: Other things things that the stewardess would be involved, and
Speaker 1: she'd be there with you, wouldn't she. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: don't know what you're driving and I don't know what
Speaker 1: you mean in the back part of the plane. Yes,
Speaker 1: Shirley was there and you were there last night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but where did she put a first aid kid wheeler?
Speaker 4: Why do you ask me that?
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I didn't notice they had a place
Speaker 1: they kept it, but I didn't know it. I don't
Speaker 1: know I was in it. If I know what you meant,
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're asking me these I talked
Speaker 1: to mister Reid, so I know about these things. Fairways
Speaker 1: non scheduled, and so they have their own particular routines.
Speaker 1: One of them is that this first DAI kid is
Speaker 1: the stewardess's responsibility. Each one is a kit. They take
Speaker 1: it off the plane when they leave, and they bring
Speaker 1: it aboard when they report for work.
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: The explosive wheeler, the nitroglycerin that was hidden in that
Speaker 1: first aid kit, I didn't put it there, that's what
Speaker 1: you mean.
Speaker 4: But I didn't know it. I didn't know anything.
Speaker 1: About it enough explosive to tear off the whole tailor side.
Speaker 4: I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't thirteen people in that plane wheel are four
Speaker 1: people in One of the houses had crashed into probably
Speaker 1: two more, and the other I I didn't do it.
Speaker 1: Wilbert Wheeler was turned over to the police psychiatrist because
Speaker 1: we couldn't get any father with him, and a lie
Speaker 1: detected test was arranged for the following morning. The web
Speaker 1: that was tightening around him was only circumstantial, and the
Speaker 1: question was did he know that he could keep on
Speaker 1: saying he hadn't done it and that we couldn't do
Speaker 1: anything without physical proof, or was he innocent. Our last
Speaker 1: move that night was to go to whel room. We
Speaker 1: were looking for a wire that could be checked to
Speaker 1: that used with the explosive. We couldn't find that or
Speaker 1: anything else that could be a definite help, but a
Speaker 1: couple of things we didn't find seemed strange. Hey, he
Speaker 1: said he came home and turned on his radio, But
Speaker 1: there isn't a radio here. Maybe we've got him on
Speaker 1: a real line, then, h newspapers land hard? Can you
Speaker 1: find any I hadn't noticed? Oh, are any? Unless he's
Speaker 1: got him out of site someway? Why would he do that? Hum,
Speaker 1: I'm in the waste papers to ask you. You'd think
Speaker 1: a man as closely connected to this as he was
Speaker 1: would wanna find out what the papers were saying, wouldn't
Speaker 1: you guilty or innocent? Yeah, uh, I don't know. Dollar,
Speaker 1: I'm bushed. Let's drop it for the night, hunt really, uh,
Speaker 1: we'll try him again tomorrow. I'll drop you at home
Speaker 1: and see about a mile in the morning. The next morning,
Speaker 1: Lenhard and I talked to the psychiatrist spend a couple
Speaker 1: of hours with Wheeler. In technical terms, what he said
Speaker 1: was that Wheeler was definitely suffering from a severe guilt complex.
Speaker 1: But whether that meant he had actually committed the crime
Speaker 1: or had only wished secretly that harm would come to
Speaker 1: his goodhue wasn't clear yet. In terms of evidence, that
Speaker 1: meant nothing. The lack of a radio or newspapers in
Speaker 1: his room. The doctor tossed off his meaning merely that
Speaker 1: Wheeler was hiding from actuality. His captain put it, if
Speaker 1: that doctor thinks he helped my metal condition, he's wrong.
Speaker 1: That afternoon, there were two developments. The first one was
Speaker 1: the report that the results of Wilbert Wheeler's light detector
Speaker 1: test were negative, but his reactions put the mark of
Speaker 1: guilt all over him. The second came from the Fairway
Speaker 1: office of Carl Reid. He'd been unable to locate another
Speaker 1: of his stewardesses, and when finally he'd sent someone to
Speaker 1: our apartment, she'd been found shot to death. We met
Speaker 1: mister Reid at the scene of the second crime. I
Speaker 1: I simply had to get back in the job today. Right,
Speaker 1: Two of our flights were delayed yesterday because it might
Speaker 1: going to pieces. I don't know if I make it easy.
Speaker 1: You trying to phone this girl and tell her to
Speaker 1: reproach to one of your flights, and when you send
Speaker 1: somebody out here, she was found dead. Right. Yes, I
Speaker 1: hadn't tried to contact Alice before because I knew that
Speaker 1: she and Missus Goodview had been close friends, and I
Speaker 1: knew she must have felt almost responsible for her death. Why,
Speaker 1: mister Red, Why sh she was scheduled for the flight
Speaker 1: the other night? I thought you knew that. No, we didn't.
Speaker 1: I wish we had. But I told you that that
Speaker 1: night that at the same of the crash, I was
Speaker 1: talking to her mother and Missus Goodhughes. Yes, I remember that.
Speaker 1: You you said she thought there was a chance that
Speaker 1: her daughter wasn't on the plane. I told you the
Speaker 1: other girl was scheduled. No, mister read No, you made
Speaker 1: it sound like Missus Goodhu thought her daughter was on
Speaker 1: a different flight. You didn't say anything out another steward's
Speaker 1: good lawd it's all right, it's all right, mister Reid.
Speaker 1: The human mind doesn't then follow us, but it can
Speaker 1: correct its mistakes. I'll go on and tell us now
Speaker 1: that that's all. With everything else, I suppose it didn't
Speaker 1: seem important. I know our procedure is less exact than
Speaker 1: the larger companies. The girls often traded flights. Why did
Speaker 1: you find out about this trade? Not until missus Goodhewe
Speaker 1: told me that her daughter had gone to work that night.
Speaker 1: You didn't discuss it with her? Buy any chance? Oh?
Speaker 1: I I didn't discuss it that night. And I think
Speaker 1: we'd better go see missus Goodiere dollar. I think so.
Speaker 1: Sergeant Collins over there will be in charge here, mister Reid.
Speaker 1: He may want to ask you a few more questions.
Speaker 1: All right, Collins, I'm leaving. I'll say you at headquarter.
Speaker 4: MM.
Speaker 1: You know what this probably means. The case against Wheeler
Speaker 1: is shot second Stewardess. That's a pattern. Everything we've tried
Speaker 1: to do is more than nothing. Circumstance gelebt and sometimes
Speaker 1: does that. But we were close. We settled on a
Speaker 1: stewardess anyway as the intended victim. But it doesn't help
Speaker 1: to think that maybe all those people died because of
Speaker 1: a mistake. The wrong steward has died in the crash
Speaker 1: and the kill. I had to go back to take
Speaker 1: care of the right one. Of course, of course, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you anything I can. Well, we've just learned that
Speaker 1: your daughter wasn't scheduled to be on that plane. This
Speaker 1: is good to you. No, she wasn't. Do you know
Speaker 1: why she happened to be. We understand that she and
Speaker 1: Alice Turner exchange flights quite often. But do you know
Speaker 1: how it happened the other night? Well, no, Shirley was
Speaker 1: here at home and the phone right now. What time
Speaker 1: was that? Please?
Speaker 4: Oh, I hardly remember. We'd had an early dinner.
Speaker 1: The plane jock off at eight twenty five. How long
Speaker 1: before then? Well, inn hour at least. No, it was
Speaker 1: less than that, because Shirley left in such a hurry.
Speaker 1: What did she say. Well, she said that one of
Speaker 1: the girls was sick and she was going to take
Speaker 1: her place on a flight just up to Maine and back,
Speaker 1: she said.
Speaker 4: She said she'd be.
Speaker 1: Home soon after midnight. I've never liked rush decisions, and
Speaker 1: I've always worried when Shirley left in a hurry like that.
Speaker 1: She did it quite often.
Speaker 4: Yes, they all did. Six of them live here in Hartford.
Speaker 1: I never liked it. Did she trade more often with
Speaker 1: Alice Turner than the others? Do you know? Well?
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: No. It was an agreement, almost a code.
Speaker 4: If one of them couldn't work, one of the others
Speaker 4: would fill in well.
Speaker 1: And it's possible that Alice Turner called some of the
Speaker 1: others before she called your daughter. Yes, it it is possible,
Speaker 1: and I wish that I naturally the hope that Captain
Speaker 1: Lenhart and I had was that we'd find another of
Speaker 1: the stewardess as Alice Turner had talked to and learned
Speaker 1: the reasons she had wanted to get out of the
Speaker 1: fatal flight. We didn't. She hadn't called any of the others,
Speaker 1: and we were left with nothing, nothing but the prospect
Speaker 1: of starving the whole investigation over from the beginning. The
Speaker 1: enormity of the crime had been in all of our
Speaker 1: minds from the first night. We'd never thought it might
Speaker 1: have a positive quality, but it did. The horror of
Speaker 1: it led to the solving of it. Late that afternoon,
Speaker 1: Lenhart and I had found no place from which to
Speaker 1: start over. I went back to my apartment building, and
Speaker 1: in the car just outside my door is your nick dollar. Huh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: can I help you?
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you.
Speaker 1: I think we better side.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty busy, I know, yeah, I know, y'all.
Speaker 5: I want to talk about the plane explosion.
Speaker 1: Huh. All right, come on in.
Speaker 5: Look, I can't stand anymore. I read about Alice Turner
Speaker 5: this afternoon, and I can't stand at this all.
Speaker 1: What do you know about it?
Speaker 5: Just that all those people killed killed for nothing, and
Speaker 5: I partly the plane too. I'm ready to give.
Speaker 1: Myself up as you come to me. Then why didn't
Speaker 1: you go to the police. Well, you can talk to
Speaker 1: somebody like you.
Speaker 4: The police is always putting the cap the state.
Speaker 1: Okay, he'll get you anyway, but you'll know what I
Speaker 1: really said. Go ahead. His name is Church at the church.
Speaker 1: Who is out the church?
Speaker 5: He's the chief pusher for a bigger narcotic Suffitt than
Speaker 5: you ever thought they was.
Speaker 1: We've got a few cranks in this case already.
Speaker 5: I know, crank, no crank. Alice Turner was carrying the
Speaker 5: stuff for him. She wanted to get out in church
Speaker 5: one letter, so she's got smart. She set up a
Speaker 5: meeting with a federal man the other night. That's why
Speaker 5: she was killed.
Speaker 1: All the rest doesn't make sense. If she'd made this day.
Speaker 1: Don't you think the Federals would have been in on this.
Speaker 5: Alice didn't tell him who she was or what she
Speaker 5: did all this. I'm the one that told her church
Speaker 5: was hollower.
Speaker 4: I told her the trumper not to go.
Speaker 1: That's my part of it.
Speaker 5: I told the church was on with that he'd stop
Speaker 5: her some way, some way.
Speaker 1: I told her to drop no matter what. I don't
Speaker 1: like it. Why would she put Shirley good here on
Speaker 1: the spot? Well, Alice didn't know what would happen. I
Speaker 1: didn't know who couldn't know he'd Why did he do
Speaker 1: anything like that? Why did he? If what you say
Speaker 1: is true, he could have stopped us another way. That's
Speaker 1: my doing too.
Speaker 5: I kept her out of sight and the other night
Speaker 5: I told her to do anything, to stay where she
Speaker 5: was and not to go to the field.
Speaker 1: She believed me. Then I called Shirley.
Speaker 5: Goode and told her she was sick, and that's why
Speaker 5: she didn't go.
Speaker 1: You know how the explosive was that wrecked the plane.
Speaker 1: I read today the first aid kid, that's where al
Speaker 1: was carried to the stuff, and it was that kid.
Speaker 1: How did the good heal girl get it?
Speaker 5: Because she was cold at the last minute, and Alice
Speaker 5: had the things in the loft of the field.
Speaker 1: And now, look, mister Dollar.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be here. I wasn't the truth.
Speaker 5: It's a peddling rap for me. But I've been reading
Speaker 5: these stories about the people that got killed and the
Speaker 5: families that I left. I couldn't take it, couldn't take it.
Speaker 4: I knew the truth.
Speaker 1: And then when Alice was killed there was no reason
Speaker 1: for that town what I knew. Are you ready to
Speaker 1: go to the policeman? You heard what I got to say.
Speaker 1: I'm giving myself up your witness to that. You know
Speaker 1: where there's other churches. Yeah, yeah, he and I we
Speaker 1: live together, and he'll come with us if I have to.
Speaker 5: Sure, Sure, I'll take.
Speaker 1: It to him. Say's it, Maria, this is where I
Speaker 1: left him. You go in and Callum's here, all right?
Speaker 1: Just call him naturally now A right, all right, are
Speaker 1: you here? I'm here, You atturney, go away? I got
Speaker 1: expense a count item too, miscellaneous twenty three dollars and
Speaker 1: forty five cents expensive count total twenty five dollars and
Speaker 1: ninety five cents. Remarks, but the cost of the other
Speaker 1: people the total hardly seems important, does it. I think
Speaker 1: it would be easier if forget the twenty five dollars
Speaker 1: than the rest of the matter. So let's do it.
