00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:31,879
There's anything I won't stand for, it's inefficiency. Yes, Boss,

197
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,279
this his knuckles well Snoppy just brought in a guy

198
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,200

of matches you're carrying.

426
00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:22,839
Speaker 2: You're sure the boss himself is at that number. But

427
00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:25,720
you haven't got a chance to get into secret service.

428
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 5: And then you see a man walk in the agent

429
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,680
that George Miller assigned to tell you.

430
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,319
Speaker 2: You get a fast and desperate idea. All right, Jack,

let's go go away.

432
00:22:39,319 --> 00:22:40,880

00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:33,599
Speaker 2: All right, come in, won't you? So? You're a friend

440
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:36,880

441
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,680
I'm a buyer. You don't look the part. I don't

442
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:44,720
let my clothes for you. Incidentally, this is a nice

443
00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:46,960
layout you got around here. It's adequate.

444
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 10: I hope to expand soon. How much of my merchandise

445
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:54,839
would you like to buy?

446
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: Five thousand to begin with? All later you have the

447
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,000
money with you? Oh not with me? But I'll bring

448
00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:04,799
the cash tomorrow. That would be all right if I

449
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,799
were sure you were legitimate. But you know I'm a pallace.

450
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,880
Snappies Snuffy is very unreliable. How else can I prove

451
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,079
that I am on the level? You might like to

452
00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:16,119
show me the press card you've got in your wallet.

453
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,319
Mumh nuncles.

454
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 10: I'd like you to meet Jack Adams, a reporter of

455
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,680
the Los Angeles Examiner.

456
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: I think there must be some mistake.

457
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: I I.

458
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,799
Speaker 10: There is a mistake, mister Adams, and you made it.

459
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,880
You should have known that. I make it a point

460
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,880
to recognize people who write unpleasant things about my my

461
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,200
business venture. Now, let's not waste time with useless lies.

462
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:44,319
You are Jack Adams, aren't you? Yes, thank you for

463
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,440
not shilly shlleying. I'll try to make this as painless

464
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,880
as possible. I dislike killing people.

465
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 2: You're not going to kill anyone?

466
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 3: Really?

467
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 2: Why not? Because an agent of the Secret Service is

468
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,519
going to be here any minute now, that's unlikely. That's positive.

469
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,160
Wh Knuckles dialed your phone number a few minutes ago.

470
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,200
I took it down on a book of matches and

471
00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:05,960
passed it to the Secret Service man who has been

472
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,839
covering me so jesterday who you've been tricking? His his lion, Boss,

474
00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: Open the door.

475
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: Open the door. This is the secret service.

476
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 3: Boss, out of drilling for this.

477
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:17,559
Speaker 2: Open the door.

478
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 3: We'll break it down. Boss. Please let me drill him.

479
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,559

495
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,960
story from the pages of the Nashville tennesseean byline Jack

496
00:26:39,039 --> 00:26:42,960
setters a big story that reached its climax when a

497
00:26:43,000 --> 00:27:02,319
newspaper published in Tennessee helped capture a murderer in Ohio.

498
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: The Big Story is produced by Bernard J.

499
00:27:09,319 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 4: Proctor, directed by Harry Ingram, with music by vladimits Lensky.

500
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:18,480
The night's program was written by Max Aleck. Your narrator

501
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:21,440
was Barry Kroger, and Dwight Wist lay the part of

502
00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:25,720
Jack Adams. All names in Tonight's story except that of mister.

503
00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:27,559
Speaker 3: Adams were fictitious, but the.

504
00:27:27,599 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 4: Dramatization was based on a true and authentic case. This

505
00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:47,920
is NBC, the National Broadcasting Company.

506
00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:01,559
Speaker 1: Welcome back. While an interesting episode from a time where

507
00:28:01,599 --> 00:28:05,039
I guess you could make money counterfeiting coins now in

508
00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:09,400
this case, Dwight Weist played the role of Jack Adams,

509
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,559
and we have actually heard mister West quite recently, as

510
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,720
he played the Prince in the adaptation of The Suicide

511
00:28:19,839 --> 00:28:25,559
Club that we included in our Top episodes of the

512
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,720
past season. Quite a bit of doubling up in this episode,

513
00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:36,119
according to the script. Worth noting is that Larry Haynes

514
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:42,000
played the bartender who had gotten word about how the

515
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:47,480
counterfeit coins work from a reliable source in Snuffy, and

516
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:51,799
he also played Snuffy Now and if you're wondering about

517
00:28:51,839 --> 00:28:58,400
the actual story behind these events, unfortunately this is one

518
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:04,480
where the stories behind the big story side comes up

519
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,640
with a blank. The note says the underlying news events

520
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,960
for this episode remain a mystery. There were many counterfitting

521
00:29:14,039 --> 00:29:18,200
operations in the news at the time that Adams worked

522
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,319
at The Examiner. And it's also important to note that,

523
00:29:23,319 --> 00:29:26,839
as I believe I said when we introduced it, or

524
00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:31,000
if I didn't, it has been noted that they did

525
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,960
change details about some of the series portrayed in order

526
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,960
to avoid lawsuits. So you've got a counterfeiting operation, but

527
00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:46,799
with the details changed, you can't really pinpoint which story

528
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:50,960
this was specifically about. All right, Well, now it's time

529
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,440
to think our Patreon supporter of the day and I

530

but join us back here tomorrow for broadways my beat where.

541
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: Not too long ago could be suicide? You think, Oh no,

542
00:30:49,279 --> 00:30:49,640
I don't.

543
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,119
Speaker 12: This girl failer was pushed brokencon the attitude of the buddy.

544
00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's why I said maybe suicide.

545
00:30:57,039 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 12: Women don't pick backyards of tenement houses, Margavian. You register

546
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,680
in high class hotels, find a bridge, you know that, Yeah,

547
00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:06,839
most of them, Danny not. Oh and take a look. Bruises.

548
00:31:06,839 --> 00:31:10,839
I'm the tug here. Look here, Bruce, another one here.

549
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,640
This girl died instantly. These bruises were from a beating

550
00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:18,200
and she got thrown. Huh, I'd say, so pushy.

551
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,279
Speaker 10: I can't tell no identification, Danny, I'd say she was

552
00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:23,079
about twenty two.

553
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,119
Speaker 2: Huh, twenty two? What.

554
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,599
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime,
