I moved to the window and 192 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,039 open the blinds, making certain I wouldn't be seen from 193 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,480 the street. A minute later, a figure saunded across wandered 194 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,600 into a doorway and became invisible in the night. 195 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:18,039 Speaker 4: Is he watching this place? 196 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 3: Can you seem move in front of the windows?

You're 200 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,919 worth more as a material witness than a corpse. Is 201 00:11:30,919 --> 00:11:36,159 he still there? I think so. Wait, another guy's going 202 00:11:36,159 --> 00:11:41,360 over and on, come here. What that's your friend, mister Julius? 203 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 4: What's too dark?

There's a stairway down the 215 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,279 back way. The door is bolted open it. Go down 216 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,639 the alley and start running. The Rex Hotel on East 217 00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:45,080 fourty first Street.

It'll be easy for you 220 00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:50,039 to remember. 221 00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 4: I just hied up here. 222 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: Cops will be at this door in five minutes.

Now? 224 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,440 Would you like to wait until I take you to 225 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:06,399 the clink personally? Ev Hunt slipped out the door and 226 00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:09,080 disappeared down the backway. She barely made it because a 227 00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:11,480 minute later and I had two of New York's finest 228 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,519 at my door asking questions. I answered them with simple platitudes, 229 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:17,919 and they went on their way. It was too late 230 00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:20,799 at night to do more, so I engaged in a 231 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:26,639 few hours in more RESTful operation between the sheets following mine. 232 00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:29,240 Because I had questions, I dropped in to see my 233 00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:33,360 newspaper friend Cal Hendrix. Hi, Steve, what do you want now? 234 00:13:34,159 --> 00:13:36,840 I want you to do something for me. I do 235 00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:39,559 it myself, but I'm afraid I'd be recognized. The lady 236 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,559 has a husband. Lady in question happens to be a perjurer. 237 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,200 I feel like I was carrying a landmine around in 238 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,039 my clothes and him to a demolition center. What about 239 00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:54,720 this lady? Lyve? A guy named Alvin Julius is his address. 240 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,519 He's supposed to be an investment broker, but according to 241 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,279 this girl, he placed out for our criminal citizens. The 242 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:09,120 word is fixer precisely. Now try and get to him 243 00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:12,440 in a legitimate way. See what you can find out 244 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:18,840 for me, okay, Steve, will do. I left Carl's place 245 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,879 and went down a police headquarters to check on a 246 00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:23,840 picture of Cole Mark Tel and on the condition of 247 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,720 the night watchman had been shot. He was in hospital, 248 00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:29,120 but they thought he'd pulled through. Then I headed back 249 00:14:29,159 --> 00:14:31,799 to Karla Hendrick's apartment, hoping he'd managed to get some 250 00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:39,720 information for me. By now his door was open. Cal Hey, Cow, 251 00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:44,720 where are you? That's funny you wouldn't go out and 252 00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:57,960 leave his door open, cal Cow. I saw him. He 253 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,679 was lying just beyond the door to his bedroom, and 254 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,080 he was horribly still. Suddenly I was angrier than I'd 255 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,840 ever been in my life. Whoever did this was going 256 00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:12,799 to pay with interest. And just a moment, I'll bring 257 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:24,879 you with the climax of the case, seeing my friend 258 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,360 Cal Hendrix lying in it on the floor of his apartments, 259 00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:29,559 and a sudden cold chill creeping up from the base 260 00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:31,879 of my spine. And moved over to him, and with 261 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:33,879 a sign of relief, saw that he was still breeding. 262 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,440 Col What happened to you or helped me up? 263 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:39,919 Speaker 5: Get me some eyes from my head. I feel like 264 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,919 the morning after two nights. 265 00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:46,519 Speaker 3: Before you can you stand up? Yeah? But I wish 266 00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:49,480 the room had stop sneeing around? Right? What happened? I 267 00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:51,080 went to see Elf and Julius. 268 00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 5: He acted like a very nice chant operating a very 269 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,320 nice business. Also, he wasn't interested in me or what 270 00:15:57,399 --> 00:16:00,360 I wanted. Cautious that I was out before I was in? 271 00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:03,159 Speaker 3: Who slugged you? I came back here door bell rang? 272 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,759 I opened the door. No one was there. Then as 273 00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:07,720 I poked my head out to look down the carridor 274 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,840 and I got it. Now, why why would anyone want 275 00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:15,039 to slug you? Holy cats? I'll bet I've been robbed. 276 00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:21,559 Cal Hendricks and I went through his place and found 277 00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:25,279 nothing missing. He described as assailant an acrid verbiage, and 278 00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:30,440 then emerged a clear concise picture of Cole MarkeTel. Then 279 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:35,159 Cal made a discovery. Great, my revolver, it's gone. In 280 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:42,639 that case, i'd better give you the whole story. I 281 00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:46,240 finished telling the story, asked Cal to check the old watchman, 282 00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:49,480 dug up the name of the other witness and got 283 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:54,159 on my way. The boy named Harry Garnett, who worked 284 00:16:54,200 --> 00:17:01,960 in the place that had been robbed. Lived up Tom. Yeah, 285 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,480 I'm Steve Granger. I have to ask you a couple 286 00:17:04,519 --> 00:17:06,759 of questions about that hold up the other night. Were 287 00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:09,160 you're a police officer and I am a private investigator. 288 00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:12,920 I could describe the man who shot the old watchman, Well, 289 00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:16,400 remember anything about the way he was dressed? Well, no, 290 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,079 not exactly. Didn't you give a description to the police 291 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,759 after you call him? Well, yeah, you're a little vague today, 292 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:30,839 an't you would? G Greene, I just don't remember. The 293 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,720 boy looked badly scared, and I began to wonder why 294 00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:37,279 after thanking him, I got on the phone to Lieutenant 295 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,119 Jake Rank in the headquarters. 296 00:17:39,839 --> 00:17:40,599 Speaker 2: Sure we got a. 297 00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 3: Witness, Gumshoe, a man who saw my tell out of 298 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,839 the place. That boy having got it, you gotta got 299 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,319 him in too. I wouldn't be too sure. I just 300 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,680 talked to Garnet, so his description is vaguer than a 301 00:17:53,759 --> 00:18:00,359 politician's alibi. I hung up on the headquarters. Man, meet 302 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,960 it up to my office. I wanted in some way 303 00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:05,799 to get the name of the photographer who'd taken the 304 00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:08,240 picture of Evie and Cole was to be a large 305 00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:11,160 part of his alibi. I called the Rex Hotel where 306 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:17,200 Evie was hiding up. Hello, Evie, this is Granger. Anybody 307 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,240 bother you?

Let's go his name? 320 00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:03,559 You know what I don't think I do? Would five 321 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,839 hundred be enough? You're buying me off? Hey, Cole, I 322 00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:11,640 don't know what you're talking about. You you know the 323 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,240 guy who shot that watchman.

He'd seen her come 360 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,880 out of the hotel with a man whose description was 361 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,920 that of Cole Martell, but that was all that he remembered. 362 00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:24,960 I looked up ev Hunt's address and the telephone book 363 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:33,279 and headed there. People in her building said she hadn't 364 00:22:33,279 --> 00:22:35,599 been around for a day or two. I went up 365 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:41,680 to her floor and investigated personally. This was it a 366 00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:44,799 one room apartment he could have stuck into a packing 367 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,359 Creighton had room left over. It was a typical girl's apartment, 368 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,200 containing a lot of distaff, disarray that afforded me nothing 369 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,240 in the way of information. I closed the door behind 370 00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:59,759 me and went back downstairs. I was walking towards the 371 00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:03,559 front door of the building when I saw him, him 372 00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:08,279 referring in definite terms to witness named Harry Garnett. He 373 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,000 was pushing in an answer button by straining myself all out. 374 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,640 Wasn't too hard to see it was the button under 375 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,720 the name EVI Hunt. When he left, I followed him. 376 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,680 When he arrived at his destination, I noted it, spread 377 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,839 it for a phone and made a date with cal Hendrix. 378 00:23:24,759 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 2: I'll come. 379 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 3: You didn't call a rank and done at headquarters? 380 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 5: Or are you under the impression of the police department 381 00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:30,400 isn't interested? 382 00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:34,079 Speaker 3: I thought of that, Cown. Then I thought of the 383 00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:39,920 way that Cole Martell slugged you, Oh yeah, and took 384 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:47,960 away your revolver. How what were you waiting for? Cow? 385 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,519 I don't know what this caper is, but I have 386 00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:54,640 a pretty good idea. What you do some kind of payoff? 387 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,599 Can it take place? 388 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 2: Just where are we? 389 00:23:57,279 --> 00:23:59,759 Speaker 3: If you don't mind releasing that bit of news threading 390 00:23:59,759 --> 00:24:05,440 the car? Do? It's one Alvin Julius's apartment. H And 391 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,720 here we are, just before we go in, let's press 392 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,839 the ear to the door. You're really gone, berserve first, 393 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,839 just shoot the old what I had to. Then you 394 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,720 slug that reporter and finally go up the Granges office 395 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,640 and get up with him. The only smart person around 396 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,279 here is half. Oh yeah, he did what he was 397 00:24:23,319 --> 00:24:27,240 told and kept his mouth up. I'm afraid you're of 398 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,640 no more use to us. Go, Harry, put down a gun, 399 00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:33,920 and you might as well get rid of her too. Harry, 400 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,759 come on call and we go. Hola, juias you too, Harry, 401 00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:39,160 Where did you come from? 402 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,079 Speaker 5: See look on the floor. 403 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 3: Sure that's Evie Hunts. She was the real leader. She 404 00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:47,799 was going to use me as a blind when Julius 405 00:24:47,799 --> 00:24:49,119 and Harry decided to get rid of her. 406 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 4: See who. 407 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 3: Well, friends, that's the story. I'll be back to wrap 408 00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:11,799 up the case and just simin it. Oh, Harry Garnet 409 00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:14,599 tried a quick shot, but he must have been nervous 410 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:20,160 when Wired and I got him in the arm. Karl 411 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,480 Hendrix stood by while I call Rank in the headquarters. 412 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,839 Even after Julius and Harry Garnet blot it out their confessions, 413 00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:30,279 he was still in a mental haze. I escorted him 414 00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:34,680 back to his place. Steve, I don't get it. I 415 00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:38,160 thought Evie hunt came to you for help. Sure she did. 416 00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:42,799 She'd pleaded that she didn't want to testify for coal 417 00:25:43,759 --> 00:25:47,640 for a good reason. I don't get it. Oh, Alita 418 00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:53,599 was Evie Hunt, not al than Julius. But Julius and 419 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,599 Garnet were ready to take over, so she saw a 420 00:25:56,599 --> 00:25:59,799 good chance to get rid of him. But she'd have 421 00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:03,559 to take the wrap for perjury. What's a year or 422 00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:06,000 two compared to life or the chair? 423 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 5: I don't know, Steve, aren't there any more nice goes around? 424 00:26:13,559 --> 00:26:22,799 Speaker 3: Pardon me, cal Hey, what are you doing now calling 425 00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:33,119 a nice girl? Steve Granger again? You've just heard one 426 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,319 of the most interesting cases in my files, and I'll 427 00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:39,599 have another one for you, So we'll be around next time. 428 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: Welcome back. She might have done better if she had 429 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:55,359 found a more sympathetic or easily influenced private eye than Granger. 430 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,920 It would have been hard to find one who was 431 00:26:58,079 --> 00:27:03,680 less so, so I do questioned her talents as a fixer, 432 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,759 given that she personally got involved in perjuring herself in 433 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,319 two separate court cases within a year. And the really 434 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,200 good fixer will stay more in the background. Now we 435 00:27:16,279 --> 00:27:21,839 turn to listener comments and feedback and have a comment 436 00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:27,960 from Mechanics sixty six, regarding the Arnie Lussett story, yet 437 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,240 another criminal's biggest mistake is hiring a detective. The American 438 00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:37,160 accents were much better in this episode. I think that 439 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,119 that is so often true with Danger. With Granger, we've 440 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,960 had relatively few episodes and that does seem to be 441 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,079 a bit of a recurring theme. And of course the 442 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,359 Mastermind brought him in in this case, but at least 443 00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:56,759 in this episode, she at least had a really clear 444 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:02,160 reason for bringing Granger in, which is far more than 445 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,720 you can say in some of these other cases. I 446 00:28:05,759 --> 00:28:10,279 think the accents on the series are generally decent, although 447 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,920 there were a couple of pronunciations that really did strike 448 00:28:16,039 --> 00:28:19,519 me this episode. Thank you so much, appreciate the comment. 449 00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:22,640 Now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day, 450 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,680 and I want to thank Dan, Patreon supporter since January 451 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,680 twenty eighteen, currently supporting the podcast at the rookie level 452 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,920 of two dollars or more per month.

Mister Maddock. 461 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 6: When I got to the home the next morning, Dad 462 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,640 was dead. He died just ten minutes after missus Taylor 463 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:08,519 coll What. 464 00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 3: Did she give as the cause of death? Gastric ulcers. 465 00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:14,759 Speaker 6: But he was poisoned. He never had a sign of 466 00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:17,200 any kind of ulswer. He was poisoned by that horrible woman, and. 467 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,359 Speaker 3: I made him go there. 468 00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 7: Let me ask you just one question, Miss Wellington. You've 469 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,559 outlined a very complete story of just how your father died. 470 00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 3: How do you know all these things? 471 00:29:26,359 --> 00:29:28,039 Speaker 6: The last time I saw Dad at the home, he 472 00:29:28,119 --> 00:29:30,319 was so frightened underneath. I should have known men, I 473 00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:32,680 should have taken him away then, but I didn't know 474 00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:33,319 he's dead. 475 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 7: Well, that doesn't answer my question. You told me how 476 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,000 he died. You even told me what he dreamed. How 477 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,160 can you possibly know all this? 478 00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:44,799 Speaker 6: Well, I don't actually know it, I suppose, but it 479 00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:46,599 could have been something like that. It must have been 480 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,400 something like that. 481 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,119 Speaker 7: Mm hmm. Well, if so it's the biggest hottest lead 482 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,119 on a story I've ever gotten. But if not, it's 483 00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:56,359 the most malicious, evil piece of slander I've ever heard, 484 00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:57,920 and does a newspaper man, I guess it's up to 485 00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:58,799 me to find out which it is. 486 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us and in the meantime, 487 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,839 send your comments to Box thirteen at Greatdetectives dot net, 488 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,799 follow us on Twitter at Radio Detectives, and check us 489 00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:14,440 out on Instagram, Instagram, dot com slash Great Detectives from Boise, Idaho. 490 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,160 This is your host, Adam Graham.
