of Shaherrazad kept her audience of one entrol for a

42
00:02:56,439 --> 00:02:59,520
thousand and one nights with one of the longest stories

43
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,280
in history. That's a long time to devote to one chronicle.

44
00:03:03,719 --> 00:03:07,000
But some of CBS Radio's winning seven weekday dramas have

45
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,199
put that record in the shade, entertaining audiences in the

46
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:13,680
millions with many times one thousand and one days of

47
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,680
continuing dramatic serials. Each weekday on the CBS Radio network

48
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,960
is a wealth of daytime drama, including such outstanding serials

49
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:25,879
as The Romance of Helen Trent, The Couple next Door,

50
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,479

55
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Another important reason for the different sound of this CBS

56
00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:51,560
Radio station.

57
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:56,319
Speaker 2: And now act one of yours, truly. Johnny Dollar.

58
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:15,039
Speaker 4: Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar the Greater

59
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,839
Southwest Insurance Company, Los Angeles office following as an account

60
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,120
of expenses incurreage during my investigation of the Winsome Widow matter.

61
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,439
Expense account out of one a dollar forty for a

62
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:31,959
taxi from my hotel in West DLA. The Greater Southwest

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,160
Insurance and one of those big office buildings on Wilshire

64
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:37,680
Boulevard's Miracle Mile her Shilling almost fell off his chair

65
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,879
when I barged inner.

66
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: Collar. Hi, Herbie.

67
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: Look, I know that some of those new jet flights

68
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,040
are pretty fast, but I only sent that white to

69
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,920
Pat mccrack in a couple of hours. I didn't waste

70
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,720
any time trying to make plane connections.

71
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: Her just flew out out of my own power.

72
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: And you're kidding, I know, But where were you when

73
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,839
you got the word from mccrack right here in your

74
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:00,560
own fair city. I wish I had known that even

75
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,160
those couple of hours could have been saved.

76
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: Ah, what's the big problem?

77
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: A little matter of a liquor store hold up? Only

78
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,439
I'm afraid this one wasn't so little. Then tell me

79
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,839
on yes you do, Johnny. For some reason or another,

80
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,839
these places that sell bottle goods are a pretty frequent

81
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,279
target for stick ups here in Los Angeles.

82
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: There have been quite a few of them over the years.

83
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:22,600
I'm surprised you ensure them.

84
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 4: And needless to say, premiums are pretty high, and at

85
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,319
least as far as our company is concerned, the policies

86
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:31,079
are somewhat limited. That is, in so far as maximum

87
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,959
allowable coverage is concerned, makes sense, and the whole we've

88
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,600
been pretty lucky, but that I mean, we've had to

89
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:40,160
pay off relatively few claims. But now in the case

90
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:43,040
of Willie Layman, who is what I laming. His stories

91
00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:45,279
are in West Los Angeles at one out ninety two

92
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,639
to one Santa Monica.

93
00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:48,879
Speaker 2: Boulevard, and that's only about a mile from where I'm staying.

94
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: The old man opened up his place late in nineteen

95
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:51,800
fifty one.

96
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:56,319
Speaker 2: Huh, yes, sixty one, very nineteen fifty two, he had

97
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,199
his first hold up.

98
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 4: The bandits got away with something over nine hundred.

99
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,759
Speaker 2: Dollars, so he bought some insurance from us. We'll go on.

100
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,879
Since then, there have been seven more attempted stick.

101
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: Ups there a total of eight in as many years.

102
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,240
And your company must be getting a bit tire to

103
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:12,680
pay off.

104
00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: No, because after the second time he know how to

105
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:17,399
use it. He certainly did.

106
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:20,079
Speaker 4: He had a lot of medals from some German out

107
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,920
that he was in during the last war. Anyhow, he

108
00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:26,439
suffered no more losses, that is until last night. Oh

109
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:28,360
how much in money?

110
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 6: What else?

111
00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:32,399
Speaker 4: Something like over four hundred dollars out of the cash register,

112
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:34,040
as nearly as the police can figure it from the

113
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:36,800
register slip or couldn't Layman tell you how much? No,

114
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,120
because you see Johnny, he also lost his life, and

115
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,800
I take it you wrote his life insurance too. That's right,

116
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:47,959
thirty dollars, I see.

117
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: Look, it's a.

118
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,759
Speaker 4: Little late in the day, but if you want to

119
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,639
go out there check with the police. Sure, I'll be

120
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,439
in touch. Had him two fifty dollars deposit on a

121
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:02,160
drive your own car. I passed up one on nine

122
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:04,720
two one Santamonica Boulevard and went right on out west

123
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:08,120
to West LA Police headquarters. There I ran down Sergeant

124
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:11,360
Mike Kirby, who was covering the whole affair. Mike turned

125
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,279
out to be a young, alert guy on the ball

126
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:17,199
and completely cooperative. That's Ride Dollar eight times since he

127
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:19,800
opened the place in fifty one, and that's way out

128
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:20,160
of line.

129
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: I should certainly think so. In the last three stickups

130
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:24,319
have been within the past ten weeks.

131
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:28,839
Speaker 4: Sergeant Mike contact at the insurance company, Herb Shilling, tells

132
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:30,600
me that Willie Layman managed to fight.

133
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: Off most of the bandit.

134
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,879
Speaker 4: He told your Ride Dollar Layman was not only a

135
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,879
crack shot, but I guess he was pretty quick on

136
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:38,560
the draw. It was only last month that he killed

137
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,399
one of the two men to try to hold them up.

138
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: Two men? What about the other? I'm way ahead of you. Huh.

139
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:46,120
We find another man, we find the killer.

140
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:50,879
Speaker 4: Probably it seemed like a pretty safe bet. But look, Mike,

141
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:53,279
if there were so many tries at this one place,

142
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:56,279
and so many all at once, take a draw somebody

143
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,279
watching over the point. We tried it, as long as

144
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:00,600
we had somebody there, you know, sitting him back, or

145
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:02,480
work them behind the corner and just watch him from

146
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:05,519
across the street. Nothing happened, but the minute we took

147
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,160
him away, being another hold up. Try Somehow they seemed

148
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:12,240
to know whenever we had the place under surveillance.

149
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,639
Speaker 2: And more important, when you didn't, Oh what have you

150
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,199
got to work on?

151
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:15,839
Speaker 7: Oh?

152
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: Nothing but a couple of bullets. I'm afraid I want

153
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:21,279
to take a run over and look at good place, Sure, Mike,

154
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:28,920
why not? Like a store was closed, but there were

155
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,480
lights on and the living quarters about it. We knocked

156
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:33,600
a couple of times but got no answer, so Mike

157
00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:35,960
used to keep it. He had and his men had

158
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,080
been careful to leave things as they'd been at the time.

159
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:38,399
Speaker 2: Of the killing.

160
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 4: He was lying right there, dollars though he'd come around

161
00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:45,679
the end of the corner near that door to the

162
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:46,120
back room.

163
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

164
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that door also leads upstairs to the apartment. You

165
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,279
must have taken a couple of shots at the bandit.

166
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:55,840
You see where the bottles were broken around the shelf. Yeah,

167
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,000
no bloodstains or anything. I guess he missed for once

168
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,559
the bandit, But I'm right in the hard Johnny bullet

169
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,879
went in at the right shoulder, then down through his

170
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:07,519
heart and stopped against.

171
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: The lower left rib. Of course, until you get a

172
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:14,159
lab report on that bullet must be his wife. The

173
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,240
why she didn't answer when we knocked on the door,

174
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,000
He missus, Layman, Oh no.

175
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 4: He's here again.

176
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:26,639
Speaker 2: Do you have to come around at all hours? Ooks?

177
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:27,840
Hold everything.

178
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:32,039
Speaker 4: Layman had been sixty one, but his wife, Gloria couldn't

179
00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:35,320
have been more than thirty. Tall, dark, She was obviously

180
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,000
very proud of her highly committable ficking. And she was pretty,

181
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,399
that is almost Maybe it was just a little too

182
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,360
much make up, especially around the eyes that she knew

183
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,120
how to use so well.

184
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:48,919
Speaker 2: The little bell had rung in the back of my head.

185
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, and since I'd noticed the phone booths at the

186
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,080
gas station next door, I had him three ten cents

187
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,480
for a call, Johnny. That's right, Herb, and I'm sorry

188
00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:01,120
to call you at home. It's one thing I forgot

189
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,519
to ask you about when I talk to you.

190
00:10:02,799 --> 00:10:06,039
Speaker 2: How is that? Who's the beneficiary of all Man Layman's

191
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:06,759
life insurance?

192
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:22,639
Speaker 4: Thank you, Herb Shillings, Act two of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar.

193
00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:26,960
In a moment when padel Castro was biding his time

194
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:30,120

00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:42,559

00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:40,840
widow matter. After the phone called a Herb Shelley, I

212
00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:43,080
went back into the liquor store, where Sergeant Mike Kirby

213
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:44,559
was still talking to Layman's.

214
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: Widow, Gloria. If you mean you don't plan to reopen

215
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,559
the store in all, missus Laman.

216
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: Now tightn't help it.

217
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,039
Speaker 6: I'll sell this down to the first person I find

218
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,320
has enough money to buy it.

219
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: And then what, missus Laman? You call me Gloria? Hi?

220
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,200
Everybody else does? And who are you anyway? Johnny? You're

221
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,720
had a cop and you don't look like a dick,

222
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,360
mister dollars here because of the insurance involved from the

223
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,240
insurance company.

224
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:11,399
Speaker 3: That's right, well, listen, Willie had some insurance I know,

225
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:13,480
I mean on himself as well as the store.

226
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,279
Speaker 2: I don't know how much it.

227
00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:16,759
Speaker 3: Is, but he promised me that he'd buy some.

228
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: It was your idea that he insures life.

229
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: Sure, an old guy like him, I figured he'd up

230
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,679
and die sometime while I was still young and beautiful,

231
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,240
So why shouldn't I let him provide something for my future?

232
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,639
Speaker 2: Like they say, Oh, who ever thought he was going

233
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,000
to die as soon as this? Whoever plan and carry

234
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:35,720
it out his murder?

235
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,039
Speaker 6: Do you mean somebody planned to kill him this way?

236
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: Just where were you when it happened? Bory?

237
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,759
Speaker 3: I was upstairs and dead asleep.

238
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: Look, I've told the cops all about it. Well you

239
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:47,679
must have heard the shooting. I'll say I did. What

240
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:48,120
did you do?

241
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 3: I put on a road and from running down here,

242
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,200
Well I see the cash register opening. Poor old Willy

243
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,519
lay in there, and when I see that he's dead,

244
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:56,960
I fall.

245
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: In the police. You didn't see anybody else down here?

246
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:00,200
I got here.

247
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 3: Whoever he did it was gone.

248
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:04,759
Speaker 2: You don't seem all upset over your husband's murder.

249
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: Now you want me to put on an act.

250
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 6: Don't you know that he was twice as old as

251
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:10,519
I am?

252
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: Then why did you marry him?

253
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:13,879
Speaker 4: Whoa?

254
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: You know how it is just to settle down and

255
00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:20,120
let somebody else support you for a change.

256
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 6: Made him happy to have me around if I liked it?

257
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: Okay too? For a while?

258
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 4: Gee, what a bore?

259
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: Oh he did was talk about getting enough money to

260
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,480
go back to the old country.

261
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: Well, who wants to go back to any old country

262
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:35,600
when you can have such a ball on this one?

263
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,639
I know I always have, even when I was married

264
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:39,360
to old Willie.

265
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 6: Of course you didn't always know where I was to do.

266
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,919
Don't you like having fun done?

267
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: I mean with people more like your own age?

268
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,639
Speaker 6: Hold that you don't answer it now, don't answer it's

269
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:55,440

270
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:57,399
Speaker 2: Well it might be for me, missus Layman.

00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and listen, Johnny, if you can get me

Speaker 3: I told you, Johnny, I married the old man says

Speaker 2: Excuse me, Johnny, I got to get back to headquarters.

281

00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,799
we found. Oh good, Also, Bob Golden picked up a

283
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,039
bum in a saloon, and it looks like he's the

284
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,519
one that did this job, picked up the guy that

285
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:37,919

00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,320
I told all those other cops.

289
00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:56,759
Speaker 7: I'm the guy that hoisted the dough out of Layman's

290
00:14:56,799 --> 00:14:58,159
liquors last night, and you.

291
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: Shot and killed him. Benny, No, I tell you I

292
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,120
didn't do it. That's the truth. So help me. That's

293
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:04,440
the truth.

294
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,559
Speaker 4: Are you trying to say somebody else went in there

295
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:08,080
and shot him after you left?

296
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: Benny?

297
00:15:08,879 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 7: I don't know.

298
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: There was no reason if you'd already taken his money.

299
00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:14,440
I don't know. How should I know?

300
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 7: You think I stuck around there after I got his dough.

301
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,879
Speaker 2: How many shots did you fire at him? Benny? How

302
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:20,679
many shots?

303
00:15:21,039 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 6: Why?

304
00:15:21,399 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 7: I didn't fire none? You saw that gun the cups

305
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,480
took off of me. He was made a rubber, That's

306
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,320
all it was. It was made a rubber. If I

307
00:15:29,399 --> 00:15:32,240
hadn't got stupid and got out and got drunken, showed

308
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,519
it to somebody and told him how I got away

309
00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:36,759
with the money from that liquor store with it. You

310
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,879
think these dumb cups that they ever got wires to me?

311
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:40,559
Speaker 2: You didn't fire a single shot?

312
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,399
Speaker 4: How could I?

313
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,919
Speaker 2: I waved my rubber gun? Hurry me.

314
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 4: He reaches under the counter. He comes up empty. So

315
00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:50,320
he gives me the dough and I leave. You're lying, Benny.

316
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:52,960
You make a paraffine test, Mike, Yeah, and I think

317
00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:55,840
this is the result of it. Well, Conroy, the paraffin

318
00:15:55,919 --> 00:15:56,840
test is negative.

319
00:15:57,399 --> 00:16:01,039
Speaker 2: No sign of powder on either of his hands. Also, sorry,

320
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:01,840
you see.

321
00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 7: I told you.

322
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: I told you I never had no real buns, all right,

323
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,000
then I told you all I did was rob that

324
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,600
Joyce went out to shut Yeah, Connoy.

325
00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 4: Also, Sergeant, here's the report from downtown on the bullets.

326
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: Let me have them.

327
00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 4: And also they returned that gun on mister Layman's that

328
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:21,639
they found beside his body.

329
00:16:21,679 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: There's no prints at all on it. Now, Johnny, is

on me. Oh yeah, we're wait. What's the same.

334
00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:42,679
Speaker 4: Listen, the bullet that killed Willy Layman and the bullets

335
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,639
we pulled out of the wall of that store, Johnny,

336
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,480
they all came from Layman's own gun.

337
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: In other words, with the help of that phony rubber pistol.

338
00:16:53,639 --> 00:16:56,440
Then he somehow got Layman's gun away from him. Maybe

339
00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:59,240
Layman had already pulled off a couple of shots and missed.

340
00:16:59,559 --> 00:17:00,799
But the one that killed him.

341
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,799
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the paraffint test showed no powder on Benny's hands.

342
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: Then he must have worn gloves. He must have killed.

343
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:17,640
Lame that you want to bet? Then who did well first?

344
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,720
I think I'd better get some proof.

345
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:34,079
Speaker 4: Act three of yours, truly Johnny Dollar in a moment, shiable, looks.

346
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:45,319
Speaker 6: Smart, two dates with drink, stay young, tent.

347
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:46,079
Speaker 4: And.

348
00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: Be sociable.

349
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 4: When friends drop in. Let your hospitality show you a

350
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:59,720
sociable in a modern manner. Absolutely no is the favorite

351
00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:01,759
of the smart and young and heart.

352
00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:13,799
Speaker 6: Be sociable, look smart, two days with pepsy string, light,

353
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:22,559
refreshed sheet, stay young, there and sociable.

354
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,839
Speaker 2: Have you tried to EPs lately? Oh? Act three of

355
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:39,759
yours truly Johnny Dollar, Where.

356
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 4: You're over looking one thing, like what, Johnny, that Benny's

357
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,799
a shaky old bomb of why not suppose he'd gone

358
00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:50,759
into that like a store with a real gun instead

359
00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:52,920
of that phony little rubber one you boys found on him.

360
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,839
Speaker 2: Well you think for a minute.

361
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,279
Speaker 4: He could have stood up against the crack shot like

362
00:18:56,319 --> 00:18:59,480
you say Layman was. Well, Now, that's besides, how could

363
00:18:59,519 --> 00:19:01,359
he get lame One's gun away from him and kill

364
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,359
him with it. Ever since he kept the gun in

365
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,200
that store, not a single hold up man has got

366
00:19:05,279 --> 00:19:07,119
the better of him, even kill one of them a

367
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,319
month ago. That's very true, all right. I think I

368
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,640
can get your killer for you, only you have to

369
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:13,880
let me get her my own way.

370
00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: Her. That's right. You mean Layman's wife, Gloria. That's right, Johnny.

371
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 4: I thought of her too, motive, opportunity, everything but proof prove.

372
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: I mean, handle it my own way. But if she

373
00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:27,960
didn't do if I'm wrong, it won't be any reflection

374
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,240
on you on your record. Oh see what you mean? Okay,

375
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,920
we'll take my car, and you got to promise me

376
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,359
one thing.

377
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,279
Speaker 4: What's that that you'll stay outside, that you won't make

378
00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:40,920
any move until I ask you to, no matter what happens.

379
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:42,279
Speaker 2: Well now, john.

380
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 4: Otherwise you can try hauling her in yourself. Well, of course,

381
00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:49,279
if you're wrong about her. Okay, Johnny, let's go.

382
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 3: I'm glad you came alone, Johnny.

383
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: I'm getting awful tired of having all those cops around here.

384
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:07,160
All right, listen, Gloria, you are.

385
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,519
Speaker 3: Going to get that thirty thousand insurance money.

386
00:20:09,599 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 4: For me her.

387
00:20:10,839 --> 00:20:14,039
Speaker 2: Ain't you you know how long it'll take for me

388
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,440
to get the rest of his stuff Here in this state,

389
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,000
a guy.

390
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,799
Speaker 6: Dies, it's sometimes a couple of years before they.

391
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: That's madam Johnny thirty thousand. Huh what I thought you

392
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,000
didn't know the amount of that insurance?

393
00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 4: Well, Johnny, Gloria, the only recent attempts at to hold

394
00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:36,400
up were made between the times the cops had.

395
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 2: A stake out here, right, Yes, that's right, Johnny.

396
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: And somebody must have passed the word around when everything

397
00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:42,720
was clear, you think so cheep?

398
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

399
00:20:43,519 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 4: And I also think that the only people who knew

400
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,880
when the police weren't here were you and your husband.

401
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 2: Well, you don't think you'd go around blobbing it, Oh

402
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,039
I don't.

403
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,799
Speaker 3: Well then, now wait a minute, Johnny Dollars.

404
00:20:56,599 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 2: I'll get your back hair of Gloria. Not yet.

405
00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 4: But your husband was good enough with a gun to

406
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:02,440
a thwarted seven robbery attempts in a.

407
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 2: Role, that's right.

408
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 4: So I think he could have prevented his own murder

409
00:21:06,039 --> 00:21:09,079
if he'd had his gun last night. Well, of course

410
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,839
he had it. They found it lying next to his body.

411
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,680
Somebody was glad to see these hold ups these attempts anyway,

412
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,799
because it provided a perfect excuse to kill him. Johnny,

413
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,960
gun under the counter, didn't sure right here under the register? Okay, okay,

414
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:30,880
I want to put my gun there, Johnny, get behind

415
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,880
the counter a minute, about where he'd stand.

416
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: When a customer came in. Sure right about here.

417
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 4: So last night the man came in and he stood

418
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,759
about here. He pulled a toy gun out of his pocket,

419
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:51,319
the man of the money in the register. What would

420
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,319
your husband have done?

421
00:21:54,240 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: Well, grabbed the gun like this. You're pointing that right

422
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:02,200
at me.

423
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:02,559
Speaker 4: You know.

424
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 6: You would have done.

425
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,079
Speaker 4: But there was no gone there last night because you

426
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,960
had taken it when the bandits left. You were standing

427
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:14,880
up on the stairs there at the back. You'd come

428
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,079
down from your apartment. Are you talking about the bullet

429
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,400
that killed him went from his right shoulder down to

430
00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:21,960
his heart, down to the lower ribs because you were

431
00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:23,880
up on the stairs when you shot him.

432
00:22:24,519 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: Then you find a couple of shots into the wall,

433
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,640
and you call the bullice you sue.

434
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 7: That enough to the coon.

435
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 2: I tell him, Gloria, you.

436
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: Won't, Johnny, because it happened just the way you said.

437
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,599
But you're never gonna tell.

438
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,839
Speaker 2: Warrior, Do right, Johnny?

439
00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 7: No, do you chucked the bullets up?

440
00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:41,279
Speaker 6: You sit me?

441
00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:49,039
Speaker 2: You shaite me? That's right, Gloria, Do I see you happy?

442
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 4: So pretty obvious, I guess right from the beginning. But

443
00:22:58,039 --> 00:23:00,799
as I said, getting proved or in this a confession

444
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,640
isn't always so easy anyhow, Expense account TOTA is putting

445
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,319
mile age on the retal car and the trip back

446
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:11,160
to hybrid. I'll call it two hundred and fifty even. Okay, yes, truly,

447
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:27,440
Johnny dollars our star will return in just dormant.

448
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,640

care and buy Sinclair Dino Gasoline Welcome back.

456
00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I should note that circulating copies

457
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,599
of this program do have an end credit sequence. The

458
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:15,559
problem is it's the wrong one. It is actually from

459
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,359
the tip off matter, the very last episode of Johnny

460
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:25,200
Dollar that aired on September thirtieth, nineteen sixty two. The

461
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,119
actual cast, and this comes from John Abbott's book that

462
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,519
Who Is Johnny Dollar Matter? Volume two, where he actually

463
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,160
took a look at the scripts gives us our cast of.

464
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,240
In addition to Bob Bailey as Johnny Dollar, we got

465
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:47,200
Lorne Stopkin, Virginia Gregg Bartlett, Robinson, Paul dubalv and of

466
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,400
course the voice any old time radio fan will recognize

467
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,799
Frank Nelson. I do hope Johnny's meeting with Jack Johnstone

468
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,759
a little bit meta here. I hope that went well,

469
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:06,920
a pretty fair case. Nothing amazing, but very little that

470
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,799
was beyond the pale in terms of genre on the

471
00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:15,440
way the program went. I do find it odd. You know,

472
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:21,960
from any standpoint that if you are the young gold

473
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:27,279
digging wife of a man you murdered, that you would

474
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:33,359
make the point of not being broken up about his death. Now,

475
00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:36,960
if you're innocent and you feel that way, I can

476
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,519
see it from a couple perspectives. One is just not

477
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,319
being hypocritical and not trying to put on an act.

478
00:25:46,319 --> 00:25:51,960
From a standpoint of being suspected. It's better to admit

479
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,359
that you really didn't care that much for your husband

480
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,519
than to go into historyonics about it and then them

481
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:05,519
to find evidence of the fact that you really didn't care.

482
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,359
Although on Jonny Dowler they seem to go into some

483
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,160
detail which really isn't necessary. But in the case where

484
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:18,720
you have murdered him, what's the point. Is it some

485
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,319
sort of weird moral high ground, like, yes, I'm a murderer,

486
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,839
but no, I'm not a hypocrite. In terms of the solution,

487
00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:31,599
the confession was not really necessary other than for dramatic purposes,

488
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,000
because when it came down to it, the angle of

489
00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:41,079
the bullet established guilt, particularly after they caught the rabber

490
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:45,559
and ran the paraffin test. All right, well, listener comments

491
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:49,799
and feedback, and we start with a comment on the

492
00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:57,200
Fairweather Friend matter from Spotify. Let's random Spotify user rights.

493
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:02,759
I have a feeling nineteen fifties alien talk as much

494
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:08,480
about germs as nineteen fifties military families talking about auto accident,

495
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:12,839
and those, of course are references to commercials aliens. I

496
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:18,240
didn't take it that way, but I actually think it's

497
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,640
open to a question because on one hand, I believe

498
00:27:23,839 --> 00:27:29,920
military families could talk a little bit about traffic safety

499
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:34,759
and their concerns with it. I just can't believe they

500
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,599
talk as much as the Bellweathers do. And as for

501
00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:44,240
aliens from outer space and I work, for some insane

502
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,319
reason on the mission, I would probably talk a lot

503
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:54,079
about germs and their risk because I know the history

504
00:27:54,559 --> 00:28:01,440
of encounters with new civilizations on our planet where the

505
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:09,400
introduction of new bacteria and illnesses lead to serious deaths. So,

506
00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:13,839
by all means, let's talk about germs. Although I always

507
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:19,000
interpreted those ads as germs talking to each other, in

508
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,480
which case, you know, it's a clear win for germs

509
00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:25,039
talking to germs, because what else are germs going to

510
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,599
talk about? Well, now it's time to thank our Patreon

00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,000
join us back here tomorrow as we give way to

521
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,279
the great adventurers of Old tom Radio and Counterspy.

522
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 4: Where all right, Norman start tucking well first, you'd like

523
00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:15,759
to know a little bit about me, wouldn't say?

524
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: No?

525
00:29:16,119 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 8: I've been doing a little checking William Norman alias Walter Nolan,

526
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,160
con Man Swindler three to five years stretching the Harris

527
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,119
Bilt penn. You're at Cluton prison and strictly.

528
00:29:26,759 --> 00:29:33,039
Speaker 4: Alone wolf in operation pretty complete. Yeah, Now what's the pitch?

529
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,599
Five to ten million dollars a year net, big pitch?

530
00:29:38,119 --> 00:29:41,480
You're interested. I've got a catcher's midst that throw, and

531
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,680
it's a refinement of the protection like it protection.

532
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,839
Speaker 8: See, I got out of that in a thirty.

533
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:48,759
Speaker 4: That's too risky.

534
00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:51,799
Speaker 8: The cops and the good citizens get mad fast.

535
00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: This isn't risky.

536
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 4: I don't like to take chances. That's why I met

537
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,640
you out here on the beach. You can't wire the

538
00:29:58,720 --> 00:29:59,440
air and the sea.

539
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 8: Huge, What do you want from me? I'm not forgetting.

540
00:30:04,799 --> 00:30:07,000
You got a rep as a lone wolf.

541
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,559
Speaker 4: And I keep it except that now I need your organizations.

542
00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:13,640
Why you've got men in most of the big cities

543
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,880
in the country, I do. That's right.

544
00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:17,559
Speaker 8: Takes a big outfit to run a gambling operation, and

545
00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:20,480
they're tough enough to run any protection racket ever invented.

546
00:30:20,559 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 4: There will be no violence at all attached to this.

547
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,480
I don't like force. You can make more with brains.

548
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:27,759
What do the boys do?

549
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,079
Speaker 2: Then?

550
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:31,359
Speaker 4: Wreck about twenty million dollar corporation?

551
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: One million for that?

552
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 4: You need an army. Not if you do it with

553
00:30:38,319 --> 00:30:42,359
words instead of violence, you're still interested. I always like

554
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,319
to hear a guy talk in millions. What's the name

555
00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:47,880
of this outfit we're gonna wreck?

556
00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: Hope you'll be with us then in the meantime, send
