I make 184 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,480 myself clear. If you made yourself any clearer, I could 185 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:13,720 almost call it a threat. The two friendly gens shoved 186 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,279 me out of the car and left me park on 187 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:18,279 the sidewalk while they took off from the traffic. And 188 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,639 I was left scratching my skull and trying to figure 189 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,840 out just where as they fit it into the setup, 190 00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:26,879 and also what they were looking for. And just a minute, 191 00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:39,279 I'll bring you the climax of the case. After my 192 00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:41,480 encounter with the two guys, it seemed so interested in 193 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,759 something with the late Arnie Lessick had in his possession. 194 00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:47,200 Whatever that something was, I made my way over to 195 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,960 cal Hendricks's place. I thought the newspaper man might be 196 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,519 some help in this situation. 197 00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 5: See ee mee boy, what's new? 198 00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:57,799 Speaker 2: One of your old pals just passed into the great beyond? 199 00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:02,600 Arnie Lessick? Oh what happened to him? Somebody just slid 200 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,960 a shaving him over at the Mounting Hotel after I 201 00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:07,639 left the place, a gorilla shang. I had me in 202 00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:10,720 it a car, but the most charming Jenna wanted something 203 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,879 I didn't have. Losing your job, I guess so, Cal, 204 00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:17,879 you know what anything about the trial that sent Arnie 205 00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:20,120 to the pen, Well, I don't remember the details, but 206 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,360 it was simple robbery and some girl test to side. 207 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,799 It was that Ruth Perry's the name. That's how I 208 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,759 got mixed up in this. Came to me for protection 209 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,399 from Arnie when he got out. You know, Stevie, you 210 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,039 could do yourself some good. Go down and get a 211 00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:38,639 transcript of that trial. Why today is just the day 212 00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:45,840 for reading. I decided to follow Cal's suggestion, and I 213 00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:47,960 just reached the front of his apartment when a police 214 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,039 car pulled into the curb. Right in front of me. 215 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,120 There was my hot tempered homicide friend, Lieutenant Jake Rank. 216 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,759 Speaker 5: And all right, grangers, I'm just coming after you. 217 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,919 Speaker 2: Which of the amount of Ferrys City by laws have 218 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:02,919 I contravened? 219 00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:05,879 Speaker 5: Never mind the fancy language. What did you do with 220 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:06,519 Ruth Perry? 221 00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:08,039 Speaker 2: Me? Nothing. 222 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:08,879 Speaker 5: I don't believe you. 223 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: Ill luck, Lieutenant, I told you what happened. She must 224 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,440 have slipped it whilst I was taking that beating. Oh yeah, 225 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,639 what's this all about? 226 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 5: I wish I knew some dim with phone homicide that 227 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,080 if they wanted to low down or Annie's murder and 228 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,480 the disappearance of Ruth Perry to ask you, oh great. 229 00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:27,000 Up until then, we hadn't known she disappeared. 230 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 2: Your newstickers a little slow, Rangers, don't trifle with me today. 231 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,159 Speaker 5: I think you'd better come along with me. I'm kicking 232 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,159 the Pettigill's apartment. 233 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 2: I clutched at my nervous system as a lieutenant's driver 234 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,120 wheeled us up to an apartment on Western Avenue. Rankin 235 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,759 was in no mood to be trifled with. After a 236 00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:49,480 few words with the building superintendent, we were let into 237 00:14:49,559 --> 00:14:50,519 Ruth Perry's apartment. 238 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 5: Oh so this is where she lived? 239 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: Hes uh, Just what is it you're looking for, Lieutenant? 240 00:14:56,919 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 5: I don't know. The occupant of this place had been 241 00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:02,480 reported as missing. Maybe something was left to indicate why 242 00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:06,519 she disappeared. We'd like to find her. She could describe 243 00:15:06,519 --> 00:15:07,480 the man who slugged you. 244 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,679 Speaker 2: I think he killed one was right now. 245 00:15:10,759 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 5: I'm not thinking just looking hear me. 246 00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 2: I'll cut that out. That's bad, Dranger. No indication what 247 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,600 might have happened to her. That phone call might have 248 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:28,039 been a fake. 249 00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 5: No, it wasn't. 250 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: Wherever call knew on he had been killed. He didn't 251 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,559 read it in the papers because the story hadn't been printed. 252 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,679 Speaking of Ruth Terry, she's walking up here now where 253 00:15:42,679 --> 00:15:45,039 two blocks done? See the girl in the green dress? 254 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,759 Come on, hey, she wants to fun at me. She's 255 00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:53,440 sitting around Miss Harry, Hey, Miss Harry. He's going to 256 00:15:53,480 --> 00:16:03,799 that apartment building. Lieutenant Rancan and I covered the building 257 00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:07,120 from bruce to basement. Perry girl remained as invisible as 258 00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:09,159 spilling mime on on the Bonny House table. 259 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 5: I'm going back to head Cherry, Jamee, I'll put out 260 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,759 a pickup on the girl. 261 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 2: I can't jage. See you latle later. Why are you 262 00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:20,159 up to me? Or it's such a nice day. I 263 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:26,759 thought i'd go for a walk in the park. Not 264 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,120 very long afterwards, I was standing outside Lieutenant Jake Rankin's 265 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,360 office and I had someone with me, And. 266 00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 5: What do you want? I brought you something, Jake, But 267 00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:41,120 whatever it is, I don't want it. I'm busy. 268 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 2: This happens to be Ruth Perry. 269 00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 5: Where do you find her in her apartment? 270 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:47,559 Speaker 2: Rangers? 271 00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:50,039 Speaker 5: Are you saying she was there when we went through 272 00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:50,480 the place? 273 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,039 Speaker 2: She was there? After she ducked through the back of 274 00:16:53,039 --> 00:16:54,399 that other apartment house. 275 00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 5: Come in, miss. 276 00:16:57,039 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: Perry, It's going to. 277 00:16:58,639 --> 00:16:59,879 Speaker 5: Be a pleasure to talk to you. 278 00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:05,079 Speaker 2: I hung around for thirty minutes while Lieutenant Rankin casked 279 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,799 questions with the agility of a grenade handler, but he 280 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,160 achieved nothing in the way of answers. Ruth Perry's story 281 00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:15,319 was straight. I remember cal Hendrix's advice about reading the 282 00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:18,039 transcript of Arnie Lessex's trial. I went over to the 283 00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:21,519 Hall of Records and started reading. One name stuck out 284 00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:27,960 like two left feet. Mary Wellan Mary welland chief witness 285 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,480 for Arnie Lessex lived down in the village short way 286 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:37,640 from the Hall of Records. I went there, Yes, what 287 00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:42,319 is it? The girl facing me in the doorway was 288 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,920 the same attractive girl who'd been with Arnie Lesseck in 289 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,599 the bar at the Lenning Hotel. Who are you? 290 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 4: What do you want? 291 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,559 Speaker 2: You're Mary wellm Yes, I'd like to talk to you 292 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,279 Mary about Arnie Lessex. 293 00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:57,279 Speaker 4: I don't know anyone by that name. 294 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,599 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm Steve Granger of Private Eye. Happens that I 295 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,279 saw you with Arnie in the bar of the Manning Hotel. 296 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,119 Why do you want like to know what you too 297 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,640 talked about? Why? Also, I'd like to hear you a 298 00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:13,720 story about Annie's trial. Why? Because Annie was murdered not 299 00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:17,519 long ago. I don't think he committed suicide. 300 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:23,079 Speaker 4: Come inside. How did you find out about Arnie? It 301 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:23,920 has been in the papers. 302 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 2: I got a call from girl and claimed to have 303 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,000 received a note from him. When she got there, Arnie 304 00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:29,440 was dead. 305 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 4: What was this girl? 306 00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: Ruth Perry? 307 00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:34,319 Speaker 4: She's a liar. Annie would never have written her a note. 308 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,680 He never wanted to see her again. 309 00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 2: She seemed to think he was on a ghet her 310 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,000 because the testimony sent him to the penet. 311 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 4: She lied then too, Oh, she testified her apartments had 312 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,880 been broken into. He claimed to have seen Annie leaving 313 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,200 her eye. 314 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,839 Speaker 2: I know, I know, I read the testament. 315 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,279 Speaker 4: She lied because Annie was with me, but I couldn't 316 00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:54,799 prove it and they wouldn't believe me. 317 00:18:54,839 --> 00:18:56,279 Speaker 2: Why not? Where were you? 318 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,759 Speaker 4: Arnie was here? He was frightened at something he sneaked in. 319 00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:04,640 When they put my landlady on the stand, she testified 320 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,519 she hadn't seen Arnie because she hadn't Mary. 321 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,079 Speaker 2: Was Ernie connected in anyway with a tall dark man 322 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,880 who has a pal rather short, talks like a mug. 323 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 4: He was once but no more Arnie was through. I 324 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,400 don't know. Hide behind that screen for the hair. 325 00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 2: Okay, good they Mary, What do you want?

She left a 362 00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:29,960 moment after Lieutenant Jake Rankin showed up via the back door. 363 00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:32,759 Lieutenant was still bad tempered. 364 00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 5: Now what kind of a still? He said? 365 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 2: Up? Is there? 366 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 5: Jake? 367 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,039 Speaker 2: I'm positive that Peter Calling and his Benji are implicated 368 00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:39,279 in Arnie's murder. 369 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,839 Speaker 5: So we'll pull him in have a chat with him. 370 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,319 Speaker 2: No, No, it goes further than that. With what I've 371 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,960 got in this package, we can really hook him. 372 00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:46,039 Speaker 5: What's in the package? 373 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: These guys are a cinch to be in here in 374 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,240 the next couple of minutes, since they knew Mary Well 375 00:21:50,319 --> 00:21:50,920 that's gone out. 376 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,519 Speaker 5: What in the package you'll see when I open it, stranger. 377 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,839 Speaker 2: I'm warning you. Why somebody's coming down the hall behind 378 00:21:56,839 --> 00:21:57,240 that screen. 379 00:21:57,599 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 5: We have a little thing hide both of us. 380 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:07,519 Speaker 2: It's better take it easy, right, he's got a key. 381 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,079 Come on, Benji, that's Carling in his pal Ain't we 382 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,000 taking a big chance? Peter, he's be gone long enough. 383 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 5: Now look for that package. 384 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 2: It must be here. Hey, he bors that. Let me 385 00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:32,880 see we've got them. 386 00:22:33,279 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 5: Let's get out of here. 387 00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:37,519 Speaker 2: Hey, that Arnie didn't have much sense, did he? Too bad? 388 00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:38,920 He wouldn't listen to reason at the hotel. 389 00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:41,799 Speaker 5: That doesn't hold it. You too, You're under arrest, answer 390 00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:43,720 station of murder, Carling? How'd you get in here? 391 00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 2: Also? The government wants you in possession of fake postage standpoints. 392 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 5: No, gentlemen, just for a moment, Jake, watch you. 393 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 4: He's got a gun. 394 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,759 Speaker 2: Well, friends, that's the story. I'll be back to wrap 395 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:11,680 up the case in just a minute. Oh, Peter Carling 396 00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:13,599 fell to the floor with a bullet through his shoulders. 397 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,920 He went to hospital and the guard, while Benji went 398 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,240 a headquarters where he testified that calling at knife Darni 399 00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:20,480 Leissick when the latter refused to divouge the hiding place 400 00:23:20,519 --> 00:23:24,039 of the place. Benji made another statement that Lieutenant Ranking 401 00:23:24,079 --> 00:23:29,920 and me and a little errand only I went in alone. Hi, 402 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,400 Ruth sectally. 403 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:32,759 Speaker 4: Didn't expect you. 404 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 2: Hi. Thank you. 405 00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 4: I I guess I won't have any more trouble about iron. 406 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 2: How did you know that Arnie left the package for you? 407 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:51,880 A package here? Well, aren't you going to open it up? Well? 408 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:59,519 Not right now, Ruth, But I know what's inside? You do? Yeah, 409 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:05,400 go on open it? The plates are there all right? 410 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,319 Speaker 4: What do you want to split? 411 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,039 Speaker 2: I know you lied on the witness stand. You and 412 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,200 Carling framed Donnie thinking you'd turn over the plates if 413 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,960 you take care of him, but he didn't, so he 414 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:16,559 went to jail. 415 00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 4: How did you find out about all this car Carling's 416 00:24:20,319 --> 00:24:22,880 locked up things? I know I can get plenty of 417 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,119 money for the right out of the. 418 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 2: Hat only record it. 419 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:27,599 Speaker 5: What do you think, Ranger? 420 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,759 Speaker 2: I say, come on in, Rank and thanks, thank you? 421 00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:36,839 You double crossing rap. Nothing like a compliment to start 422 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:47,279 the day right. See you in ten years, baby, Steve Branger. Again, 423 00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:49,599 you've just heard one of the most interesting cases in 424 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,720 my file. I'll have another one for you, so be 425 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,839 around next time. 426 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: Welcome back. I do appreciate one of the sources who 427 00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:08,960 the detective goes to for information, to tell the detective 428 00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:12,880 where to go and leave him to do his own research, 429 00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:16,759 rather than the reporter going to work for the detective, 430 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,319 as so often happens. And in this case, it's totally understandable. 431 00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:24,440 The man's a reporter, has got a work of his 432 00:25:24,599 --> 00:25:27,920 own to do and can't be digging into some six 433 00:25:28,079 --> 00:25:31,880 year old robbery case. We have a few comments on 434 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,599 YouTube regarding the stolen Necklace case art Rights. I was 435 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,440 surprised to learn this series was from the mid nineteen fifties, 436 00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:45,680 as the style of the music, acting, in script or 437 00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:51,440 reminiscent of detective shows from the late nineteen thirties or forties. 438 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,880 Then I read it was produced in Australia. Since Australia 439 00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:58,319 was a bit of a pop culture backwater at the time, 440 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,039 it makes sense I think were a bit behind the times. 441 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,240 Well or I don't agree, at least on the music. 442 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:13,279 The show's got a very jazzy sort of soundtrack that 443 00:26:13,799 --> 00:26:16,680 wouldn't be out of place in a show that was 444 00:26:16,839 --> 00:26:20,680 competing with Peter Gunn, and I don't think the stories 445 00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:24,440 were that out of date, certainly not the thirties, although 446 00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:28,440 there is a sense in which what they were trying 447 00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:33,160 to do was to create programs that could be sold 448 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,920 in the American market and satisfy the taste of existing 449 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,880 radio fans. So maybe it wasn't entirely up to date, 450 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,319 but I don't quite say it that way. I appreciate 451 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,440 your comment, though. Kathy wrote, really liked the series, but 452 00:26:51,599 --> 00:26:53,400 is it just me or does it seem like the 453 00:26:53,519 --> 00:26:57,599 audio is speeded up. Everyone sounds like their voice is 454 00:26:57,839 --> 00:27:02,680 artificially fast and higher pace. It's slightly reminiscent of how 455 00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:06,000 we used to play our forty five records on seventy 456 00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:07,359 eights when we were kids. 457 00:27:07,519 --> 00:27:07,839 Speaker 2: Haha. 458 00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:13,559 Speaker 1: Can't quite relate to that experience, Kathy. I suspect there 459 00:27:13,599 --> 00:27:18,559 would have been consequences and repercussions if I messed with 460 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,720 the speed of my dad's record player back in the nineties. 461 00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:26,319 But I think that is something that is sadly not 462 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,480 oncommon with a lot of the programs that originate from Australia, 463 00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:35,839 and I've noticed similar sounds on other series. I'm not 464 00:27:36,039 --> 00:27:39,440 certain the reason for it. It may be that there 465 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:46,960 are more transfers from tape or later generation materials in 466 00:27:47,079 --> 00:27:52,279 terms of copies of copies in What's become available, and 467 00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:55,599 then comment from Dottie dug this one a lot. It's 468 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,440 always fun to find new shows I've never heard of. 469 00:27:59,559 --> 00:28:02,200 Hope you can key revealing new discoveries. A fun thing 470 00:28:02,319 --> 00:28:06,519 would be a week of those Australian Shadow episodes that 471 00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:12,319 are missing, or for missing episodes. Yeah, I still don't 472 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,880 do anything with the Shadow lest I get smacked down 473 00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:22,000 by Condie Ast who last I heard or making copyright 474 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,400 claims on the character and all the programs. So I'll 475 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,839 leave that one alone, but appreciate the comments and the suggestion. 476 00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:36,359 Then we also have an email from Caleb, who writes 477 00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:39,680 in Adam, hope all is well with you and your family. 478 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,079 Until I really got into old time radio and hard 479 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,519 boiled detective fiction, I never would have guessed that being 480 00:28:47,599 --> 00:28:51,920 knocked unconscious and trapped in a sanitarium was such an 481 00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:56,279 occupational hazard. You mentioned Philip Morlowe, and it just happened 482 00:28:56,319 --> 00:28:59,799 to Steve Granger, but it also happened to Dan Holiday 483 00:28:59,799 --> 00:29:03,839 as well, and I'm sure there were others. Well, there 484 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,960 were others. I personally, I guess I would put being 485 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:16,079 put in a sanitarium into two separate categories. What happened 486 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:22,200 to Granger and Marlowe and some others was that they 487 00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:28,599 were put into a sanitarium to stop them from investigating 488 00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:32,400 or finding out the truth. The case that happened with 489 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:40,799 Box thirteen and another similar episode with Rocky Fortune involved 490 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:49,400 the hero being opportunistically kidnapped and put in the sanitarium 491 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,279 to be passed off as someone else as part of 492 00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,279 some enterprise. So slightly different categories. There's you know, there's 493 00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:04,640 two different things. You can be knocked out and put 494 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,000 in a sanitarium. I guess it doesn't make a whole 495 00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:11,400 lot of difference to the person on the receiving end, 496 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,119 but I guess keeps my category straight. He also writes 497 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,039 a little bit about Cloak and Dagger. On another note, 498 00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:22,839 I'm really enjoying Cloak and Dagger. Thanks for playing it, 499 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,559 although I have to get used to Ralph Bell being 500 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,079 a good guy too many episodes of The Falcon and 501 00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:36,119 CBS Radio Mystery Theater where that has decidedly not been 502 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,519 the case. Thank thanks for all you do and God 503 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,480 blast well. Bell has had a few villainous parts in 504 00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:49,799 Cloak and Dagger, although they tended to be more minor villains, 505 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,119 and he plays a surprising number of good guys, and 506 00:30:55,319 --> 00:30:59,279 I would be honest that that is odd for Bell 507 00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:03,799 and my radio experience. In general, Bell tended to play 508 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,160 a lot of crooks. He was kind of in that 509 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,160 same category as William Conrad was for a lot of 510 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,319 his radio career, where he could play a crook or 511 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,160 he could play a tough comp His main good guy 512 00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:21,839 role that he's known for, or was known for to 513 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:27,599 some extent, was as Barry Craig's friend on the police 514 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,359 Force trav Rogers in some of the early seasons of 515 00:31:31,519 --> 00:31:35,720 Barry Craig. You always expect villainy when Ralph Bell is 516 00:31:35,839 --> 00:31:39,839 playing a character. I remember there was an episode of 517 00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:43,839 Proudly We Hail we played as one of our extras, 518 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:51,160 and it was basically an educational episode about the development 519 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,880 of jetflight, and Ralph Bell played one of the guys 520 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,119 I think it was on the crew, and I kept 521 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,240 waiting for his character to try to double cross or 522 00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:05,480 sell stuff to the Soviets, and it never happened. And 523 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,079 I was listening to one CBS Mystery Theater episode that 524 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,000 had the commercials in it, and Ralph Bell came on 525 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,039 to sell a car and I was like, wait, should 526 00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:20,720 I trust that hat? But truth is I think that 527 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,960 Folks then as well as now love that voice and 528 00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:29,799 appreciate Bell as a performer, even if we struggle a 529 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:35,039 bit with his few times playing the good guy. Thanks again, 530 00:32:35,079 --> 00:32:38,680 appreciate you reaching out Caleb. Well, now it is time 531 00:32:38,759 --> 00:32:41,400 to thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and I 532 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:46,200 want to thank Gretchen, Patreon supporter since September twenty seventeen, 533 00:32:46,359 --> 00:32:50,240 currently supporting the podcast at the Shawmus level of four 534 00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:53,400 dollars or more per month.

Missus Graham murdered Sargeant Gillis with 544 00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:27,359 a hatchet? Miss kill Gallen? Oh but that sounds like 545 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,920 the work of a maniac. You mean you suspect a 546 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,680 couple of kids. Yeah, I know, it doesn't seem possible, 547 00:33:33,119 --> 00:33:36,680 especially kids like these. Where's missus Graham's daughter? Now she's 548 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,200 with the Lieutenant Morgan in that room over there. He's 549 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,400 been grilling her for hours, but she won't talk either, 550 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,680 will her boyfriend? Where'd you pick up the kid's sargeant 551 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,640 and a bear joint near the Summerville Circle? Oh, here 552 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,880 comes Morgan? Now any locked, Lieutenant? 553 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,039 Speaker 6: No, no more questions? Ask her the tighter, she claims up. Now, 554 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,480 I've had some tough crooks on the grill, but this 555 00:33:58,799 --> 00:33:59,759 kid beats them all. 556 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,119 Speaker 2: Oh hello, miss Kilgallon, Hello, lieutenant. Got anything I can 557 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,559 use for a story? Ah? 558 00:34:05,759 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 6: Not a thing, miss kill Gallan. And that's the truth. Frankly, 559 00:34:09,079 --> 00:34:12,039 we're pretty well up against a stone wall. Now, what 560 00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:14,559 can you do when a cute looking seventeen year old 561 00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:17,480 kid just just sits there and swings her legs and 562 00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:20,960 looks at you with a sweet face and says, I don't. 563 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 2: Know, she won't say anything. I've tried everything. 564 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,599 Speaker 6: Talk to her like a Dutch uncle, like a father, 565 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,320 like a like a cop, like a mug even, but 566 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:30,039 it's no go. 567 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. She says, just like that. I don't know, 568 00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:39,519 Lieutenant Morgan. Yeah, mind if I go into that room 569 00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:41,039 and talk to Janet Graham. 570 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,599 Speaker 5: Alone, Oh what good'll that do? 571 00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 2: I don't know that it'll do any. 572 00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 4: Good, but I just might come up with something, you know, 573 00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:50,519 just between us girls, how about it? 574 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then.
