Speaker 4: It's so desolate out here right right.

23
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,599
Speaker 3: Saying what in the world yourself? It looks like they

24
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:21,719
might write to run us off the road?

25
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:32,759

cracker my brother Peter.

Speaker 4: Did he hurt?

30
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 5: I don't know whether I should.

31
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: He's dead, yes, oh no.

Missus hard Man, all right, I'll just get there just

38
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:02,479
a minute.

39
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 4: My necklace, what happened to it?

40
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: Necklace?

41
00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: You didn't see it? A diald necklace?

42
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,719
Speaker 3: You wore no necklace when you were brought in here?

43
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:13,439
Speaker 6: Was it valuable?

44
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,479
Speaker 4: It was thirty thousand dollars.

45
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: This is Dave Granger, private detective with a story about

46
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,039
a missing necklace, a dead man, and a green Sedam.

47
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,400
And just a moment, I'll take you back to one

48
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:39,039
of my most interesting cases. This is Granger. The story

49
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,479
started for me when the visit from a woman good

50
00:03:41,479 --> 00:03:44,560
looking and smartly dressed, but worried and nervous. She introduced

51
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,479
herself as Norma Hartnett, the wife of David Hartnet, whose

52
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,560
name I know is a well known theatrical.

53
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,039
Speaker 4: Producer, mister Granger, did you read about my accident which

54
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:53,439
my brother was shot and killed?

55
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: Yes, Missus Heartner, that happened up for after Merritt Parkway.

56
00:03:57,319 --> 00:03:57,759
That's right.

57
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: Do you remember that I said as on a necklace.

58
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,520
I was wearing the still while I was unconscious.

59
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: Yes, mister Granger.

60
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,759
Speaker 4: The Nicholas wasn't stolen.

61
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: Oh, my husband David gave it to me.

62
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:12,919
Speaker 4: But my brother Peter had been gambling very heavily, the

63
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,599
older man's thirty five hundred dollars. I put up the

64
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:17,160
necklace as collateral against the money.

65
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: Peter old. There's obviously more.

66
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: What is it?

67
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:23,959
Speaker 4: My husband's opening a new show on Broadway. One of

68
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:27,079
his backers was through. David needed money. He asked me

69
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,759
for the necklace. I was driving him from Committicut to

70
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,720
explain what had happened to it when those men ran

71
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,279
us off the road.

72
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,759
Speaker 3: Have you told your husband, Missus Huckton, not the whole truth.

73
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: I let him think the Nicholas was still and when

74
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,920
Peter was shot. He doesn't know. I've come here to

75
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:42,120
see you. I need your help, mister Grainger.

76
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: Desperately, you just want the necklace back is that it.

77
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: Yes, it's being held by a man named Wicky Temple.

78
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 3: I know him. He runs a fucking crap game.

79
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,519
Speaker 4: Yes, Peter was to testify against him in the gambling probe.

80
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,240
You will help me, won't.

81
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:03,439
Speaker 3: You, mister Grainger, You've got yourself a boy DOMA Hartnets

82
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,519
gave me a New York address one of the local hotelies.

83
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:08,959
Went on the way. I put out a few feel

84
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,759
us a Rickey Temple and got nowhere. He dropped out

85
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:14,879
of sight. I decided on an interview with Cal Hendrix.

86
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,000
He was a newspaper man, and if anybody could give

87
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,279
me a lead, I felt he could. What in the

88
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,079
world do you want with a shifty character like Ricky tempty?

89
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,920
I'm hunting a diamond necklace for a client. I'm glad

90
00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:27,399
business Steve that I don't know if I can help

91
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:29,879
you on hunt. When the gambling probe started a couple

92
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,199
of months back, Ricky crowed down at tour or someplace

93
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:34,480
with the other rats. I'm sure he's in New York.

94
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,680
I used to hang around the West Side up near

95
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,680
Columbus Circle, the lit calm they go, ask if some

96
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,000
of the places up there. I'll need this bad change here.

97
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:44,839
I can take care of myself. Don't worry. The last

98
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,680
time you came back from a gambling joint, you were

99
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,319
wearing a barrel, never mind with a belt in the bag.

100
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:57,240
I went north towards Columbus Circle, started asking questions in

101
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,959
different small hotels as well as some of the big ones.

102
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,000
It took that afternoon, in the better part of the evening.

103
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,360
Finally I got the address of Ricky Temple's latest hide out.

104
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,000
What do you want, Ricky Temple? You're around? Who you buster?

105
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:18,240
I want to see Temple? He's an old friend. Temple

106
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,399
ain't got no friends? And say, ain't you Steve Granger?

107
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:26,120
Suppose I am blow. We don't want private snoops around

108
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,879
smells up the joint. She shouldn't mind your adverbs, mister,

109
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:33,759
and a move a side. I don't think so, all right, Granger?

110
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:35,079
Speaker 2: What's the routine for?

111
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm up to see you? Ricky? Your butler hasn't learned

112
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,279
its manners yet. He was told to keep out the characters.

113
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:42,319
You're a character, but I'm in. Okay, you're in. How

114
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:43,680
much do you want to keep your mouth of it?

115
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,720
You have the wrong man, Ricky. I'm not up here

116
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:48,720
looking for a quick Buck'll spit it out that I'm

117
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,839
busy inside. I'll take thirty thousand dollars worth of diamond

118
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,120
necklace that belongs to Missus David Hartnett. Don't be silly, Granger.

119
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:59,079
You've got it. She wants it. Good night, Snoop. The

120
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,079
door is open and I just run out of time.

121
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:05,120
There's a killing mixed up in this, Ricky, No, there isn't.

122
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,560
You haven't read the papers. Missus Hartmant's brother was shot

123
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,160
and killed. When the police find out about that necklace,

124
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:14,480
they're gonna get inquisitive about you. You sure about this?

125
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:18,199
Would I be here if I were kidding? There's a

126
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:25,000
paper I picked up. Take a look, Sammy, beat it inside.

127
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,240
What's the game? Be sure I get my percentage right?

128
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:32,279
I'm inside and shut the door. I'm invited to stay. Awhile,

129
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,920
I just want you to get something clear in your mind.

130
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,720
I have not got the necklace. Puts you on a spot.

131
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,319
Suppose I put out thirty five hundred clams and ask

132
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,519
you to hand it over. Well, come on, Rickie, tell

133
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:48,680
me the rest of the story. What happened to the necklace?

134
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,439
I don't think I'll say anymore. Let missus hart Nett,

135
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:56,800
come over, I talk to her. You'll talk to me,

136
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,519
or I'll get police headquarters on the phone. I'll tip

137
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,839
them too. Wa what about the necklace? Second? About this

138
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:05,480
game you're running? You still? Uh? I would when the

139
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,680
study grand one of ice concerned plus a killing, Maybe

140
00:08:08,759 --> 00:08:10,399
maybe I ought to call my mouth because he'd know

141
00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:13,040
what to do. Cut the chatter. I haven't got a lawyer,

142
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:16,160
and you know it, Loo Loo Granger. I don't know

143
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:19,120
what to play is see, but I got a couple

144
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,519
of details. Maybe they will help you get back the

145
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,399
neck with her, and i'd better get it back or

146
00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:28,839
you and I will tangle with a cop looking on. Okay, okay,

147
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,279
I'll tell you why. I know now you see you.

148
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: Hate you pull it.

149
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: I'll continue with this interesting story in a minute. Oh.

150
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,759
As the door opened and the two shots reverberated through

151
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:54,879
the room, Ricky Tenthele dropped to the floor. I snapped

152
00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:56,200
a fast shot at the figure in the doorway. I

153
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,879
saw him clutch at his shoulder and then beat it.

154
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,000
I tried a head after him, but was stopped by

155
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,639
He's outside of Sanni. By the time I perscuaded him

156
00:09:02,639 --> 00:09:04,080
to let me go and to call the cops. The

157
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,360
customers in the other room and vanished quicker than snowflakes

158
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,080
and a heat wave. Then the police arrived, with Lieutenant

159
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,879
Mike Harding in charge. Well, gum shoe mixed up in

160
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:14,000
another shooting. Huh yeah, Harding?

161
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: Who is he'?

162
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 3: Ricky Temple? He'll never be missed. I suppose you start

163
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:25,039
talking about now. I told Harding what I knew about

164
00:09:25,039 --> 00:09:27,240
the killing. One of his men found a gun which

165
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:30,320
had been dropped in the hall hill. That's something I guess.

166
00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:33,279
I'll have ballistics go over the gun for Prince. Yeah,

167
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:35,320
I'll check with the later in the day, Mike. OR'd

168
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,720
it be in my office or Cal Hendrick's place? Okay, Granger,

169
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:46,200
you'll hear from me. Well, this is flattering, Steve. Two

170
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,759
visits in one day. It's not your hardened visits. I'm

171
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:53,200
interested in. You know David Hartman, the theatrical producer. Is

172
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,039
he the one who owned the missing diamond Nicholas? He

173
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,879
bought it for his wife. I found Ricky Temple by

174
00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:00,879
the way I find out anything just started to open

175
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,559
up for me. When somebody cooled and Harding is thinking

176
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,600
his body down to the Morgue. Seems to me that

177
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,000
Temple was fronting for someone. He must have had a

178
00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:15,960
boss name on mac Hendricks Harold Dixon. Dixon didn't occur

179
00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:17,799
to me, you'd have a finger in the spine. Well

180
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:23,039
then one finger, I imagine. I just can't browse over

181
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:25,240
to his spot and accuse him of being in with

182
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:33,000
Ricky Temple. I know, excuse me, thing this is Harting homicide.

183
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,960
Is Steve Grainger around Hendrix? Yeah? Yeah, hiding down and

184
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:38,159
hit coat his fanks.

185
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:41,519
Speaker 5: Hello green check. The lamp man checked that gun and

186
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,480
came up with something.

187
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 3: What The gun was registered to a hood named Nick Farelli.

188
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,159
You know him?

189
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,399
Speaker 2: No, he works for Harold Dixon.

190
00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: We've got out of pickup on Herelli. Thanks Harting, don't

191
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:56,600
check you later on what goes? Steve? You were right

192
00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:59,240
about Harold Dixon. Uh huh. And I'd give four to

193
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:05,080
one and involved there's more than thirty five hundred bucks.

194
00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:10,240
I left col Doug missus David Hartnett's address out of

195
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,720
a coat pocket hailed the cabin, went over. She greeted

196
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:16,399
me at the door, Mister Grainger, have you ever met

197
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:17,559
a man named Harold Dixon?

198
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,159
Speaker 4: Very frequently?

199
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: In what way social Not exactly.

200
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,919
Speaker 4: He happens to be a partner in my husband's current enterprise.

201
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 3: How much does he have to say about what your husband?

202
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,120
Show wise, that.

203
00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:31,399
Speaker 4: Is quite a lot, since the other beck of clit,

204
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,080
mister Dixon almost controls.

205
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: The whole thing, seeing your husband than having any trouble.

206
00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 4: Not exactly trouble. No, but he isn't quite satisfied with

207
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,679
the show as it tears. He doesn't feel that it's

208
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,519
smooth enough yet to open him Broadway. Surely you don't

209
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:47,200
think mister Dixon's involved.

210
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,159
Speaker 3: In the theft of the necklace, Missus Hartnett. I went

211
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,279
to see Ricky Temple. He didn't have it. Also, he's

212
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,559
a stooge for Dixon. What now Temple is done in

213
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,279
the morgue? Somebody shot him? Shot gun belongs to a

214
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:03,679
hudlum named Nick Farelli, a character who also works for

215
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,399
Harold Dixon.

216
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,879
Speaker 4: You mean Howld Dixon's a crook.

217
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,039
Speaker 3: Harold Dixon has been an elusive figure in crime for years.

218
00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:12,200
He has been connected with big time gambling whenever he

219
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,519
shady enterprise in every time of consequence in the country.

220
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: Look, don't suppose he's trying to get control of my

221
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,320
husband's productions.

222
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: Suppose he can keep the show out of town long enough,

223
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,320
he can probably fix it so your husband won't be

224
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,519
able to get any more backing what happens, he can't

225
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:27,919
do that.

226
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 4: It's not little.

227
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 3: It is missus hartmant. It may be chisling and its

228
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,639
worst form, but it's inside the law, way inside. How

229
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,919
much of an interest does Dixon have in your husband's show?

230
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,919
In other words, if your husband sold one more share,

231
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:52,799
Dixon ad be in control. The pieces were beginning to

232
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:55,679
fall into place. The picture they were forming wasn't exactly

233
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,480
the pleasantest one to contemplate. Harold Dixon was a smart operator.

234
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,679
Food smooth and slipperys and eel dipped an olive oil.

235
00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:05,519
I didn't quite know the best way to handle things,

236
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:07,679
but I was sure of one thing. If I didn't

237
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,039
handle him right, I could very easily find myself left

238
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,080
for dead. And just a moment, I'll bring you the

239
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:24,519
climax of the case. I want Nomahutan not to make

240
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:26,759
any foolish moves until I did more checking up. I

241
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:28,600
wanted first to get a line on where Nick Frelly,

242
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,320
the owner of the murder weapon, might be hiding up.

243
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,879
I phoned Harding at the police headquarters, but Forreddi was

244
00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:35,559
holed up as securely as a gopher and sub zero weather.

245
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,440
So I called cal Hendrix once again. Six months ago Forrell,

246
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:41,360
he was seen her on the show Go from the

247
00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:45,039
Mambo Club. Her name is Ruby, Ruby. What I don't know, but.

248
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 5: A minute of the cup could probably get all the

249
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:47,519
dope on a voyan.

250
00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:53,279
Speaker 3: I got a break at the Mambo Club. Ruby still

251
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:55,919
worked there. She lived downtown on a small apartment around

252
00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:58,840
the corner from Union Square Park. I got a second break.

253
00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,759
She was home.

254
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,919
Speaker 4: Your name is Grange to say.

255
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to talk to you about Nick Farellip.

256
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: What do you want?

257
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,759
Speaker 3: And I'd like to meet him. It's possible where you

258
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,080
name it.

259
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:14,759
Speaker 4: Ruby, Okay, be at the Bumbo Club at ten tonight.

260
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: The Mambo Club was like a half a hundred other

261
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,399
New York nighteraries. The music, the entertainment, the customers were

262
00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:31,639
all the same. Even the drinks had the same amount

263
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:34,320
of water in them. I want Ruby, finish your ten

264
00:14:34,519 --> 00:14:39,960
and move over to me. Hi, Ruby, h where's Nick?

265
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: You didn't tell me what you did for a living earlier.

266
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,559
Today you're Steve Granger, the Private Eye I am working

267
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:46,360
for Harold Dixon.

268
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: What makes you think that?

269
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: I'm thinking a lot of things.

270
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:49,679
Speaker 6: Things.

271
00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 4: I've got to be sure of what goes.

272
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: I'm not working for Dixon, al I'm getting interested in him.

273
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,759
What's wrong a lot?

274
00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 4: Come on, let's get out of here.

275
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: Nick isn't coming around.

276
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,919
Speaker 4: We'll go see him. He's at his apartment.

277
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 3: Ruby and I grabbed some transportation. In a few minutes.

278
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,720
We were standing in front of a brown stone on

279
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:22,759
the Lower east Side. This is it, right? Hold on

280
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:26,600
the second. Why you haven't said a word. I don't

281
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,759
know what's going to happen inside. We won't get hurt,

282
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:31,120
just the same. I'll keep this in my pocket with

283
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:31,960
my hand on it.

284
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:40,279
Speaker 4: Do it your way. This is Nx's apartment.

285
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: I got a key, sure you first, Please.

286
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:47,639
Speaker 4: This way.

287
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,399
Speaker 3: Thanks? I want a word. Looks like I'm too late,

288
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,679
doesn't it. I don't know about this, Ruby, nothing, but

289
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,480
I knew he was here.

290
00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:57,279
Speaker 4: Well, he didn't answer the door. I let himself in

291
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:57,919
and found.

292
00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: Him shut once through the heart. Did you move in me,

293
00:16:03,679 --> 00:16:05,519
Churt Nice? Tell the police about this?

294
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:05,759
Speaker 2: No.

295
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 4: I got scared and came back to the club, and

296
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,960
I started thinking about you. I decided to bring you

297
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,440
over first.

298
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: There's a phone in here. I'll call homicide. We have

299
00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:17,919
to stay here. Do want to think about Nick's connection?

300
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,320
Was lately nothing dead.

301
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,559
Speaker 4: He's been worried about something.

302
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: Just a minute, homicide, Please, This is Granger. I found

303
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:27,799
FERRELLI for him.

304
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,559
Speaker 5: Ians. I want to talk to him.

305
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: You're a little late. He was murdered in his apartment

306
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,360
at twenty two to fifteen East ninth Street. I'll be

307
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,600
right over, okay, and you stay there.

308
00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, I hear.

309
00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: I stayed, and so did Ruby. When Harding showed up,

310
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,759
I explained as much as I could to the girl,

311
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:49,919
and the homicide man was nice about it. He let

312
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,320
it go on her own recognisance. Then he turned to me. Okay, Grange,

313
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,279
it give me the rest of it. No rest of it.

314
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,639
The girl told you what happened.

315
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 5: Uh huh.

316
00:16:57,399 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 3: I think you'll find that Nick Farelli shot and killed

317
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,000
Ricky Temple. Yeah, look at him. The man who shot

318
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,319
Ricky got away, but only after I winged him. I

319
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,839
distinct to him. I was seeing him clutch at his

320
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,480
right shoulder, and Nick has a wound in that shoulder. Correct.

321
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,920
You do nice things for the Police Department, Green Jails.

322
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,759
Nick Farelli shot and killed Missus Hartnet's brother. He shot

323
00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:18,240
and killed Ricky. You found him for it, but I

324
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,079
found him dead. I know you are going to say that.

325
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,759
Next Harting and his crew went to work. I left

326
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:29,200
the apartment and looked for a telephone, one in a

327
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:40,279
booth where I wouldn't be disturbed. I let it ring

328
00:17:40,319 --> 00:17:42,759
the ten times with the phone company recommends, and forgot it.

329
00:17:43,559 --> 00:17:49,720
Missus David Hartnett was not at home. I was almost

330
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,440
sure that Harold Dixon was in the back of the killing.

331
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,680
How the time in was the real problem. I decided

332
00:17:54,680 --> 00:18:00,359
to pay a visit. He lived, but exclusively the house

333
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,880
on a quiet west side of the street.

334
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,039
Speaker 5: This was it.

335
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, here, mister Dixon, Harold Dixon, you're Steve Granger coming in.

336
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,240
I didn't know i'd be that welcome you are, mister

337
00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:23,440
grangeym you've saved me the trouble of having someone look

338
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,720
you up. Okay, that's enough, and this is a gun.

339
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:30,960
Please don't move. I will take this gun of yours

340
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,720
if you don't mind. At this point, I have no shot. Hang.

341
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,079
I understand that you are alone are pretty dangerous with that

342
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,440
gun in your pocket, you might become obnoxious. Well, please

343
00:18:43,079 --> 00:18:47,200
down the hall if you will, if I won't try it,

344
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:55,440
and see the first door on the right gone in,

345
00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:05,200
have a chair, mister Granger, you're so generous. Now what

346
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,680
fast came a cribbage?

347
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,799
Speaker 5: I'd like you to meet one of your clients. Pardon me.

348
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,079
Speaker 3: I watched Harold Dixon back carefully to a closet door.

349
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:17,400
He turned a key, and when the door swung open,

350
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,759
I know why Missus David Hartnett hadn't answered my phone.

351
00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:22,880
Call you too, mess mister Granger.

352
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 4: I've been kept prisoner here. Can't you do something?

353
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,079
Speaker 3: He can, Missus Hartless. He can sit very quietly, or

354
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,160
he can move one and no more. You see how

355
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,960
it is, Missus Hartnet. I have a mouthpiece in this case.

356
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,319
It doesn't mean a lawyer.

357
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 5: Right right, mister Granger?

358
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,759
Speaker 3: For being as formal as a UN conference, aren't we?

359
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,559
Since you're the president pro term, start getting with it.

360
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 5: There's not much to get with.

361
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,599
Speaker 3: I think the police will differ with your friend. You're

362
00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:50,240
gonna happy help and Nick Farelli shot Missus Hartnett's brother.

363
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,839
Speaker 5: Right, That would be entirely possible.

364
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: And you've got missus Hartlett's necklace, seven't you? Since you're

365
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,680
not going to do anything about it, I may as

366
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,279
well admit it I have, and.

367
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 4: You wres supposed to be a friend of David's and mine.

368
00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 3: All things falls into a very familiar routine. Missus Hartnett,

369
00:20:05,759 --> 00:20:07,960
you put up your necklace a security for your brother's

370
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,240
gambling dead of thirty five hundred dollars. Ricky Temple had it.

371
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,000
But Ricky was fronting for Harold Dixon.

372
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 5: Here right correct with the Grange Jet.

373
00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:18,559
Speaker 3: Dixon had Nick FERRELLI kill your brother because he was

374
00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:21,720
going to testify against Ricky, who would turn state sentance

375
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,119
against Dixon, which would never do. But why because he

376
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,599
had your husband in a spot since your husband needed

377
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,799
extra money and couldn't get the necklace from you to

378
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,000
make a loan on it. Harold Dixon said the takeover

379
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:33,279
the show. They were both interested in.

380
00:20:33,559 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 5: Staying very close to the truth, mister Granger.

381
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: So when your brother disposed of, Ricky had to go too.

382
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,960
That job was handled by Farelli, who was probably killed

383
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,599
by Dixon to get him out.

384
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:43,839
Speaker 2: Of the way.

385
00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 4: I can't believe all this, And.

386
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,559
Speaker 3: Now mister Dixon will have to dispose of you missus Hartnett.

387
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,279
Speaker 5: And you, mister Grange.

388
00:20:50,319 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 3: Yet you want me, boy, yes, you again, I want

389
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,960
you to arrange for missus.

390
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 5: Mister Granger.

391
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 3: Okay, Boss, why I should dub him in the river?

392
00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:07,440
I never ask how you do things, Just do him

393
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:10,160
and you. Dixon wind up with a half million dollar

394
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,079
show plus a thirty thousand dollars necklace. What's mister Hartnett

395
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,400
gonna say when he finds out his wife has disappeared?

396
00:21:16,759 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 2: He's got some of their boss.

397
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,559
Speaker 3: Could we make it look accidental, like maybe a car accident?

398
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:33,559
Excellent suggestion, Jigger, Oh excuse me, Hallo Dixon speaking, Yes, oh, yes, yes,

399
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:37,119
of course. Hiding you may come up anytime. I've cooperated

400
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:37,440
with the.

401
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,519
Speaker 5: Police for years.

402
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 3: Get him out if you're quick, Jigger, that was hiding

403
00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:44,039
from his side. He's coming here to ask questions. I

404
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:45,240
want to ask a question.

405
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 5: To take them out.

406
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,079
Speaker 3: Guess now, jiggerhead, did you know that your boss, the

407
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,319
Great Dixon, had Nick Farelli kill Ricky Temple Yet Granger

408
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,079
land the close Nick's mount he had you shoot here.

409
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 5: See, Jiggery knows too much.

410
00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: I can tell you something else too, Jigger. When he

411
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,640
gets through disposing of us, for mister Dixon enough, he'll

412
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:01,519
dispose of you.

413
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,599
Speaker 5: What are you trying to pull?

414
00:22:02,759 --> 00:22:05,279
Speaker 3: Take a look at mister Dixon, Jigger, take a good like.

415
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,640
Don't take me note of You're just trying this total

416
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,319
harding arrived. I don't know, bon get.

417
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,559
Speaker 5: Those people out of here right now.

418
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 2: You're a fool.

419
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:13,599
Speaker 5: I'm had Old Dixon.

420
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 3: Remember, yeah, Dixon, I remember, I remember some of the guys.

421
00:22:16,759 --> 00:22:19,799
Speaker 5: We just stop, grupped out of sight. Put down that gun. Hah, Dixon.

422
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,039
Speaker 3: I think we ought to talk for Wray down alr.

423
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: So try it.

424
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 3: I watched the impact between Harold Dixon and Jigger grow

425
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,799
like an unhealthy thing, a thing of fear and hate.

426
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,160
Then I got a sudden break. Jigger turned his back

427
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,240
to me, facing Dixon completely. I made my move. Go

428
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:50,440
that gun. Well, friends, that's the story. I'll be back

429
00:22:50,440 --> 00:23:01,279
to wrap up the case in just a minute. I

430
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,400
was lucky. You're gonna let go his gun in time

431
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,960
for me to grab it and snap a shot at

432
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,119
Harold Dixon, who fell to the floor writhing in thame.

433
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:10,000
Missus Norman Hartnetz stood as still as a piller of saw.

434
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,759
All right, Jigger back up against the wall. Missus Hertett.

435
00:23:13,799 --> 00:23:16,359
Snap out of it. You'll be all right. I'm frightened,

436
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,640
mister Green, don't mind that. Have you ever been in

437
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,279
this place before?

438
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:19,759
Speaker 2: Yes?

439
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: Does Dixon have a wall safe around here? Spot where

440
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:22,839
you might keep your necklace?

441
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,519
Speaker 4: Over there behind that picture.

442
00:23:24,599 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: Thanks, we'll have the police open it. Do we never

443
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,480
get out here, Dixon. Let's have a dozen of these

444
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:30,039
men here.

445
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:31,519
Speaker 4: That's one of them.

446
00:23:31,599 --> 00:23:36,519
Speaker 3: No, don't move, jigger, and don't make a sound. We

447
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,720
do nothing except let them in. Missus Harkman. It's the police.

448
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:42,680
Just like in the story books. They've arrived in the

449
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:51,400
nick of time. Steve Granger again, you've just heard one

450
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,680
of the most interesting cases in my file, and I'll

451
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,240
have another one for you, so be around next time.

452
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,079
Speaker 1: Welcome back. A good setup with the jewel missing in

453
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,440
the auto rack and a good job by Granger in

454
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:16,440
setting the bad guys against each other. Dixon overused the

455
00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:21,039
idea of using one henchman to rub out another, creating

456
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:26,279
doubt in the last thug so that he hesitated before killing Granger.

457
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,119
And even beyond that, I know that Dixon had no morals,

458
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,279
but it's really just a bad management tool. As that's

459
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,839
a good way to run out of Henchman listener comments

460
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,680
and feedback, and we go to Mechinic sixty six commenting

461
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,599
