64
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:20,959
Speaker 4: Dollar expense accountsummitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the

65
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Continental Insurance Company Home Office, Hartford, Connecticut, following as an

66
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,639
account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the fatal

67
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,879
Filet matter. There was something very funny about Ray Connolly's

68
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:36,920
sudden invitation to have dinner with him, much less cocktails

69
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:39,879
I'd been at his office far too many times. I'd

70
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,240
seen the bottles of pills that he kept in his desk,

71
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,959
watched his secretary bring him a glass of milk at

72
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:49,000
precisely ten thirty am at exactly three point fifteen PM.

73
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:51,680
Had listened to the dull details of his Ulco free

74
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,439
diet more times than I can remember. So when Ray

75
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,319
said cocktails, Oh, come on now, dollars, stopped trying to

76
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,399
build up a case out of nothing. And yet, for

77
00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:03,720
reasons that will be made clear later in this report,

78
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:07,240
everything goes on expense account. I don't want a dollar

79
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,639
forty for a cab to raise apartment. It was six

80
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,680
thirty on the nose when I pushed the doorbell. Oh,

81
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,319
and I decided that if he did have something bothering him,

82
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,319
I'd let him get around to it in his own

83
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:17,920
sweet time.

84
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,399
Speaker 2: I wished later that I.

85
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:27,399
Speaker 8: Had Shohnny, Johnny, I'm glad to see you come in.

86
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, how are you?

87
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 5: Ray? Well?

88
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 8: You know how it is?

89
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,199
Speaker 4: Huh, those ulcer's been kicking up on you again.

90
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, a little sit on, Johnny?

91
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: So sure?

92
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,199
Speaker 9: Thanks?

93
00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 8: Now, what would you like martini? Manhattan?

94
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: Got a plain old Scotch and soda lying around.

95
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 10: I certainly have have it for you in a second.

96
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:48,959
Never touch it myself anymore.

97
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,879
Speaker 2: Of course, do you mean you're not drinking with me?

98
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 10: Maybe I'll have a glass of melk and let's see. Yeah,

99
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,759
it's time for me to take one of my pills.

100
00:05:58,639 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 9: Here you are, Johnny.

101
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 4: But did it ever occur to you, Ray that if

102
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,360
you'd stop worrying so much about that gutty yours you

103
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:07,839
might not have so much trouble with it.

104
00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:11,639
Speaker 8: Johnny, it's easy to see you never had an ulcer.

105
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:13,319
Speaker 2: No, sir, and I don't ever intend to.

106
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,439
Speaker 8: Well, if you were in my end of the business.

107
00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:18,560
There's something just happened that I want to tell you about.

108
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, later. Incidentally, the steak we're having is the

109
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,240
most beautiful thing you ever saw. Well, come on, I'll

110
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,519
show it to you while I got a glass of milk. Okay,

111
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,040
I guess my wife ordered some groceries sent over from

112
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,240
Morris Bain's market before she left. I told you she's away, Yes,

113
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,120
I left yesterday. The steak was delivered last night, along

114
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,199
with some other things.

115
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:42,639
Speaker 5: Eh.

116
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 8: How about that?

117
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: That looks like you could cut that with a fork.

118
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:52,439
Speaker 8: Prime beef excuse me, I'll get my glass of milk. Sure, Hey,

119
00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:53,360
how do you like your steak?

120
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: By the way, only one way? Blood rare?

121
00:06:56,759 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 10: Of course, I'll have to have mine rather well done.

122
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,800
I'll just cut the filling and half and it'll be

123
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,680
no problem at all.

124
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: Ray, What about this thing that happened in the office

125
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,399
you were going to tell me about later, Johnny?

126
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:07,519
Speaker 5: Later?

127
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:14,439
Speaker 2: Again?

128
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: Looking back, I wished that i'd pressed the point, but

129
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:21,040
I didn't. Instead, I had another drink, watched him sip

130
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:23,600
his glass of milk, listen to him complain some more

131
00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:26,160
about his pet ulcer, and then finally we sat down

132
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:26,600
to dinner.

133
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:29,279
Speaker 8: There we are. Isn't that the most beautiful steak you

134
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:29,800
ever saw?

135
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:32,839
Speaker 2: Oh? No, Pray, didn't you hear me?

136
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 11: What?

137
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Oh dear, I'm terribly brother.

138
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: You ought to be that looks like a piece of

139
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:42,839
shoe leather when.

140
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 8: You said blood rare, and I forgot all about it.

141
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:46,199
Speaker 2: Ray, you are a dog.

142
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:49,759
Speaker 8: You're sure you can't eat it this way rather chew

143
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:50,560
up an old boot.

144
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,439
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, something is bugging you now?

145
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:53,879
Speaker 5: What is it?

146
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: Nothing?

147
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 9: Johnny?

148
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 8: Look, I'll go out and buy another one for you.

149
00:07:57,759 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: Huh.

150
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,279
Speaker 4: I Lets you were sit here and get cold.

151
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 8: No, no, Johnny, I'm terribly sorry.

152
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: It's okay, go ahead, right, tear into it.

153
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,439
Speaker 4: I'll go out in the kitchen and see if I

154
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:12,120
can find the makings of a sandwich. I could have

155
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:15,079
killed him over cooking a perfectly good steak that way,

156
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,920
but instead I made myself a sandwich and stuck around

157
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:20,480
because I knew that sooner or later he'd tell me

158
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,079
his real purpose in having me come over. And later

159
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,319
he did, at least he started to. We had washed

160
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:28,279
the dishes and then gone back into the living room.

161
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:30,160
I had settled now with a third cup of coffee

162
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,200
and a cigarette, and he was sipping in another glass

163
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,559
of milk.

164
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 8: It's just that I don't like being threatened, Johnny.

165
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 10: One knows I have enough trouble keeping the sulcer under

166
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:39,240
control with just the daily run of problems I have

167
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,000
to face at the office.

168
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:40,799
Speaker 2: What do you mean by it?

169
00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 10: You know, you know, people demanding more from their insurance

171
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,879
when the insurance at all, and then trying to Oh what.

00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,279
Speaker 8: Nothing, Johnny, I just I'll be all right.

173
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,759
Speaker 2: You forget to take one of your pills.

00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,799
Speaker 8: Right, No, but maybe I better take another.

175
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: Yes, me, you're taking too many of them. But what

176
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,960
was this talk about being threatened?

177
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,639
Speaker 8: Well, Johnny, this fellow by the name of Oh oh.

Speaker 10: Johnny.

184
00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 4: I grabbed the telephone and called dtr Remse, but because

185
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:49,799
of a traffic tie, was nearly half an hour.

186
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: Before he got there.

187
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 4: Meantime, Ray lay on the sofa, getting paler and paler

188
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:56,279
until he was white as a sheet. The doctor, completely

189
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,960
familiar with Ray's also problem, did what he caught, but

190
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,399
after forty forty five five minutes, realized things were getting

191
00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:04,320
beyond his control, so he called an ambulance. Another half

192
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,919
hour and yeah, by the time they got him to

193
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,639
the hospital, in spite of injections and oxygen along the way,

194
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:11,440

00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,320
philet Matter.

215
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,519
Speaker 4: Yes, mister Dollar, I knew that Connolly's ulcer condition was serious.

216
00:11:36,519 --> 00:11:38,320
I've been treating him for a couple of years, but

217
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,679
I certainly never believe this could happen. What it means

218
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:43,720
is that he bled to death. Is that it, doctor,

219
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:48,360
has internal hemorrhage. But if such such intensity, I don't

220
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,320
understand it. And yet, well, let's face it, Donna, this

221
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:57,960
sort of thing has happened before, has happened before. Yes, doctor,

222
00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:00,519
you may be right about that well, of course, but

223
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,720
not in the way you think. I went back to

224
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:07,840
Rai's apartment and let myself in with a key I'd

225
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,759
filched out of his pocket. Then went over every inch

226
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:12,799
of the place, and I came up with nothing. Nothing,

227
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,279
that is, until I went into the kitchen. There I

228
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,279
saw for the second time the bag of groceries that

229
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,039
his wife had had delivered from Bain's Market, from which

230
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,320
Ray had taken only one thing so far as I knew,

231
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:25,879
the steak he'd eaten that night. Yeah, and he had

232
00:12:25,919 --> 00:12:28,440
eaten every bit of it. I dumped him out on

233
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,639
the table, made a list of it. Then I noticed

234
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:33,240
something else on the table. It was a cheap gold

235
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,200
plated cuff.

236
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: Link with the initials x D on it. Hmm.

237
00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: Early the next morning I talked with Morris Bain, proprietor

238
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,240
of the Food Market Insurance Investigative.

239
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:45,799
Speaker 2: That's right, mister Vain. Oh, George, just call me Mars.

240
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 12: That's what my customers do, okay, Marris, Well, of course

241
00:12:49,039 --> 00:12:51,399
I'll be glad to cooperate, Miss the Dollar, every which

242
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:52,639
way I possibly can.

243
00:12:52,759 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 13: Good off on the left, Julius, right over the salad dressing.

244
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 12: I gotta keep canned snails. I gotta keep for some

245
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:02,799
of my special customers. But how people can eat those?

246
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:03,399
Speaker 1: I don't know.

247
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,759
Speaker 12: Oh, good morning, missus Beck And it's a lovely morning,

248
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,200
isn't it now Morris? Oh yeah, you wanted information?

249
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:10,519
Speaker 4: Yes, Oh, missus van Derslude, how are you?

250
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 13: How's your nice little doggy?

251
00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 5: This fight?

252
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 12: No?

253
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 13: No, no, get him out here before you don't get outside,

254
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,279
out out?

255
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 12: Oh what's your problem with dogs in the store?

256
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure.

257
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 4: But now do you have a customer by the name

258
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,000
of Conny or missus Connolly?

259
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: Sure, lovely woman.

260
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,919
Speaker 14: She was in here only the other Oh.

261
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 13: How do you do miss Keina? How's my little sweet

00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:31,879

263
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,519
Speaker 9: Huh?

264
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 13: We got a special on those.

265
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:40,279
Speaker 4: Fancy Missus Connley was in here when the day before yesterday?

266
00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:41,519
Speaker 2: Or how's her husband?

267
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 8: Mister Dollar, Is he still suffering from those terrible alcs?

268
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: No, not anymore? Oh, it's a miracle hardly. The point

269
00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:49,960
is she ordered some stuff from you.

270
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:50,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.

00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:53,840

Speaker 5: Tell you have no idea?

283
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: What did you find what you're looking for? Yeah, everything

284
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,480
checks except for one thing. Mistake.

285
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: You delivered it steak that's right, a prime phil a.

286
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: But it's not on the list.

287
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:41,039
Speaker 13: We don't sell me what No, of course not, Sady, sady,

288
00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:43,600
double check the half away order. Somebody made a mistake

289
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,159
last week.

290
00:14:44,159 --> 00:14:47,399
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, you're sure your delivery boy didn't take

291
00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:48,440
a steak to the conn.

292
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 14: A pleasure or any time?

293
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 11: Yes?

294
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,279
Speaker 8: Sure said did you deliver the room?

295
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 4: Now I try a different tech itightam, two or three

296
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:08,120
whatever it is, a dime for phone called a doctor ransom.

297
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,080
I suggested he take whatever steps were necessary to make

298
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,399
a complete examination of the stomach of the now deceased

299
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,919
Ray Connolly. I had him four eighty five cents for

300
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,840
a cab to the office of Continental Insurance.

301
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: Ray's secretary had obviously been crying.

302
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,559
Speaker 15: I just can't believe it, mister Dollar.

303
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: I know, Gracy. Now listen.

304
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:26,799
Speaker 4: Did any of the people who have come here to

305
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:28,240
see him ever threaten him?

306
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,159
Speaker 15: Threaten him?

307
00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:29,559
Speaker 2: That's right.

308
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 15: Lots of people have threatened lots of things when they

309
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,240
didn't feel their claims were met properly. But he was

310
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:39,799
the fairest, the most honest man. When mister Dollar, somebody.

311
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,279
Speaker 2: In here yesterday.

312
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,679
Speaker 15: Maybe, yes, there was a man in here yesterday who

313
00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:45,600
was very angry about something. I could hear him pounding

314
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,879
the desk in there and swear who was he? I

315
00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:50,240
don't know. He must have come back with mister Conley

316
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,759
after luncheon and I didn't see him leave, but look

317
00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:55,120
he lost to cuffling coble.

318
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,279
Speaker 4: Let me xd what, Gracy, this is the man I'm

319
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:01,519
looking for? Can you find me a policy with this

320
00:16:01,559 --> 00:16:02,200
man's name on it.

321
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 15: Just from these initials, with all the policies on.

322
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 4: Fire, probably a beneficiary whose claim was settled or.

323
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:09,799
Speaker 15: Refused, you say the man, mister Dow.

324
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:23,679

Speaker 4: Expense account and h five another dime for another call

339
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:37,039
to doctor Ransom. Yes, the autopsy had been made, and

00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,599
yes they had found enough ground glass in the stomach

341
00:17:39,599 --> 00:17:42,519
of Ray Connelly to kill three men. That's why Ray,

342
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:44,640
with his elsa condition had gone so fast.

343
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,079
Speaker 10: While he was with you.

344
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,319
Speaker 4: Johnny the police would like very much.

345
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: To talk to you.

346
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 4: Well, certainly they don't think I did it, of course,

347
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,160
not Race too. Yeah, well, well, after all you were

348
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,200
with him at the time when he ate that phill. Okay, okay, Doc,

349
00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:03,720
I'll get in touch with him. HadAM six ten cents

350
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,200
for another call to race secretary at Continental Insurance.

351
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 15: Yes, yes, mister Dollar, I had.

352
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: That's going, Grace. What's his name?

353
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 15: Xavier Donado? The photo was still at mister Connelly's desk.

354
00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:16,319
Speaker 2: Donado and the address one three.

355
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 15: Four two five.

356
00:18:17,559 --> 00:18:19,079
Speaker 2: Sunset Sunset got it and.

357
00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:22,039
Speaker 15: Listen the reason he was angry with mister Conny. He

358
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,720
was named his beneficiary of his father's life insurance policy. Yeah,

359
00:18:25,759 --> 00:18:27,519
but his father just committed suicide.

360
00:18:27,559 --> 00:18:28,319
Speaker 9: You see what I mean?

361
00:18:28,519 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Donado couldn't collect.

362
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean no, he couldn't, So, Gracie, you're a doll.

363
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:40,240
I had him seven two bucks and a half for

364
00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:42,559
a taxi to the address far out on Sunset Avenue.

365
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:45,039
It turned out to be an old ramshackle roaming house

366
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:46,319
in a pretty lousy neighborhood.

367
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 15: Sure, look for yourself, but I tell you he ain't

368
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,400
here anymore.

369
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,839
Speaker 1: Leave yesterday morning, bag and baggage there you are see

370
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:54,400
for yourself.

371
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 15: Now, don't tell me he's still living here.

372
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: I can't say that I blame it.

373
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 9: What's that?

374
00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:00,759
Speaker 2: Have you any idea where he might have gone?

375
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:01,319
Speaker 5: If I did?

376
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 4: That's in the tops to get the rindios me.

377
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: The cops are won him for a lot more than

378
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,000
your rent, lady.

379
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's more than that murder?

380
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 4: I'd have made another phone call to police headquarters. I

381
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,680
talked with Serge and Jimmy Maxwell in homicide only. I

382
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:20,079
listened more than I talked.

383
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:22,599
Speaker 6: Couplinks HU with the initials XD on him.

384
00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:24,559
Speaker 4: That's right way I dare not telling us.

385
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 6: Before as if you didn't know it. That's withholding evidence

386
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,680
and then a murder case.

387
00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 9: Hey look, that's another thing, dollard.

388
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,319
Speaker 6: If you suspected murder, why didn't you call us in

389
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:33,240
instead of having a doctor order the autopsy?

390
00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:34,279
Speaker 9: You're trying to hide something?

391
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,039
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

392
00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 9: Are you anyway?

393
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,079
Speaker 6: We've been coming a city for you as if you

394
00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:38,759
didn't know, you got a.

395
00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:39,759
Speaker 9: Little explaining to do it.

396
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 8: Look here and listen.

397
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 6: What do those initials x D stand for?

398
00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:44,319
Speaker 4: Well, if you let me get a word in edge wise,

399
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,359
I might tell you. Well, the D stands for Donado

400
00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:49,960
the ex f Xavier Xavier.

401
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: What kind of a name is that, Xavier? If you

402
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,720
want to say it that way.

403
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 9: Oh boy, that's so rare.

404
00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 4: When you got his address, he just left the place

405
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,000
where he was living, so he's probably a thousand miles

406
00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:02,079
away back Xavier, of course, and right under my nose.

407
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:10,079
Speaker 9: What Johnny.

408
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 4: Maybe I should have told him more everything I knew,

409
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:14,759
but I didn't want to have to wait for the

410
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:17,359
police or anybody else. Ray had been a friend of mine.

411
00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:19,680
To bring his killer to justice was all I cared about.

412
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,799
As for that name, Zavi, of course, I'd heard it

413
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,240
only a few hours before, and for some stupid reason,

414
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:27,880
it had never occurred to me that it began with

415
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,160
a letter X. I had a nine a buck and

416
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,799
a half or another taxi, this time to the Yeah,

417
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:33,400
you guessed it.

418
00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: Excuse me, please, Julie.

419
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 8: I gotta tell you. You packed the vegetables on top

420
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:39,839
of Marris.

421
00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: Harris, come over here back so soon.

422
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:44,519
Speaker 8: Listen.

423
00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:46,319
Speaker 4: When I left you early this morning, just as I

424
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,480
was leaving, I heard you call somebody by the name

425
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,000
of Xavier.

426
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, you mean that slow poker, that dumb, stupid.

427
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 4: Right does he still here.

428
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,079
Speaker 2: What's his last name?

429
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 5: His last name? Yeah? What is what his last name?

430
00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 14: It's Sadie.

431
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 13: How many times I gotta tell you when a customer

432
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,279
has got to come playing?

433
00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:06,599
Speaker 4: Well, this one has no savi here, Savier Donado.

434
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:09,599
Speaker 5: Looking for me?

435
00:21:09,759 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: Mister, yours Xavier Donado?

436
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you want?

437
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 4: I just want to show you a couple of cufflinks.

438
00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:19,519
Here are these yours?

439
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 14: Yeah?

440
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:20,599
Speaker 5: Mine?

441
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 2: Then they'll try to pull a gun me.

442
00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 5: I got no gun, mister.

443
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,519
Speaker 2: I found one of these in Ray Connolly's office.

444
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,039
Speaker 5: Sure, I got mad. I slammed bang on the desk

445
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:31,480
at him.

446
00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:33,839
Speaker 4: I found the other one at his apartment where you

447
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,279
delivered that steak to him, that steak full of ground glass.

448
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 2: Where'd you get that steak?

449
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,759
Speaker 5: Wilson's Prime Market, along the way to his place.

450
00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 4: Then you put in the glass and took it up

451
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:43,920
to him.

452
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,079
Speaker 5: Yeah that was pretty good. Eh. So you from the cops.

453
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 4: You're expecting the cops. I don't know, but you didn't run,

454
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:53,359
You didn't leave time.

455
00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:57,799
Speaker 5: Sure, because I'm smart, you leave time, they know you've

456
00:21:57,839 --> 00:22:01,559
done it, They chase you, they catch you. Honest, I

457
00:22:01,559 --> 00:22:04,319
didn't know it was gonna kill him, you know, what now.

458
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:07,440
But I had to get even, you know, because he

459
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,480
wouldn't give me that insurance, because my old man killed himself,

460
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:15,359
so that my grandpapa, his old man, just because they

461
00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:16,680
didn't get something they want.

462
00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: You mean, they all committed suicide.

463
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,759
Speaker 5: Sure, because it was all you know, off in the head.

464
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:28,400
But not me, you understand, because I'm smart. Somebody does

465
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,240
something against me like that insurance, I get even with him,

466
00:22:32,319 --> 00:22:35,839
You understand, I don't go kill myself. I get even

467
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,599
with him. And you think they're gonna find out? No,

468
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:41,680
do you think they're ever gonna catch me?

469
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,079
Speaker 2: What do you think?

470
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:52,799
Speaker 5: Oh you did, didn't you? Yeah? Gee, I guess you're

471
00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:55,039
even smarter than I am.

472
00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:07,039
Speaker 4: Mister, Yeah, come on, savior, prison I doubt it now

473
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:10,240
with a family history like that. But there are institutions

474
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,480
for his kind. I'm sure he'll spend the rest of

475
00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:15,480
his life in one of them. And maybe by studying

476
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:19,039
his case, the doctors, the psychologists can learn more about

477
00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:21,880
helping such people before they go off the deep end

478
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:27,720
expense account. Forget it, Ray Conley was my friend, yours truly,

479
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,359
Johnny Dollar.

480
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 3: Our star will return in just a moment. A good

481
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,720
college education has a lot to do with your future.

482
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:51,880
Whether you're a student, a parent, a college alumnus, a

483
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,359
prospective employer, or just an average citizen, you have a

484
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,519
stake in the future health of our colleges. The future

485
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,480
security and well being of our our nation depends on them.

486
00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:04,000
Now is the time to help by contributing to the

487
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,400
college of your choice. Just as our elementary and high

488
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,079
schools have become overcrowded, so now our colleges are threatened

489
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:14,880
by the increased school population. Funds must be forthcoming nod

490
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,920
to expand college facilities and hire more professes, Otherwise our

491
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,640
colleges will be unable to handle them millions of future

492
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,200
students seeking entrance. If we are to keep pace with

493
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,519
the Russians in scientific developments, if we're to improve our

494
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:31,200
standard of living and maintain our free way of life,

495
00:24:31,599 --> 00:24:34,480
we must have greater college facilities, and have them now.

496
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,960

00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:49,119
about next week's story.

500
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 4: Next week a pair of twins, and believe me, they

501
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,119
bring me a double dose of trouble. Join us, won't you,

502
00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:07,799
yours truly, Johnny Dallen, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar starring Bob Bailey.

503
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,440
Originates in Hollywood and has written, produced and directed by

504
00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:16,000
Jack Johnstone. Heard in our cast were Virginia, Greg D. J. Thompson,

505
00:25:16,279 --> 00:25:20,319
Jack Edwards, Marvin Miller, Larry Dobkin, Harry Bartel, and Frank Gerstaal.

506
00:25:21,079 --> 00:25:22,759
This is Dan cubberly.

507
00:25:22,480 --> 00:26:23,039
Speaker 14: Speaking, welcome back.

508
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,519
Speaker 1: Well, this is a case where what stood out to

509
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,119
me is that the way that medicine was practiced in

510
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:37,240
nineteen fifty nine may have contributed to the cause of

511
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:41,480
death because the way that you know medicine, you call

512
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:45,799
the family doctor, you wait half an hour for him

513
00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:48,480
to show up, and then he tries to do what

514
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,079
he can without facilities, and it takes him to the

515
00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:57,640
hospital and the patient ends up dying. And this is

516
00:26:58,039 --> 00:27:00,920
kind of a situation you had where you just did

517
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,519
not have the approach to emergency medicine that we have

518
00:27:05,839 --> 00:27:09,880
in the twenty first century, where we recognize, in a

519
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,440
situation of this seriousness, there's a golden hour you really

520
00:27:14,519 --> 00:27:17,880
need to rush to get the patient seen and taken

521
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,799
care of. And so this is a case where being

522
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:27,799
alive in nineteen fifty nine contributed to the cause of death,

523
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,960
although ground glass is very deadly, so it's certainly no

524
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:38,839
guarantee that Ray could have survived or been stabilized, but

525
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,759
he would have had a far better chance in today's environment.

526
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,039
And this isn't to say that Johnny or the doctor

527
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,000
did anything wrong. They were doing the best that they

528
00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:52,839
knew how to do based on the world they lived in.

529
00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:57,720
But I find myself in sympathy with doctor McCoy and

530
00:27:57,799 --> 00:27:59,960
Star Trek four when they went back to the two

531
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,039
twentieth century and meant a patient receiving then modern treatment,

532
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,119
and he said, well, what is this the Dark Ages.

533
00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:16,279
I'll also say I don't typically romanticize the past, but

534
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,279
one thing I have found myself thinking, particularly as I've

535
00:28:20,319 --> 00:28:25,319
listened to programs where you hear about doctors coming to

536
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,559
people's houses, like, yeah, that was a nice time. No

537
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:34,519
waiting rooms, no check in, just the doctor and his

538
00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:39,640
little black bag coming to your door. Very personable and

539
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:44,039
human sort of treatment. But on the other end, this

540
00:28:44,119 --> 00:28:50,799
episode shows that whenness you have certain health problems, it's

541
00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:54,440
the type of thing that could kill you. So that

542
00:28:54,599 --> 00:29:01,039
might temper my more romanticized thoughts about the joys of

543
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,799
house calls, at least as long as I'm thinking about

544
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:12,440
this episode. On another note, I really was interested in

545
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,000
the ad for Just Entertainment because they mentioned the show

546
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,319
was hosted by Pat Buttram and as someone who really

547
00:29:21,599 --> 00:29:26,440
enjoyed his performance on Green Acres and in the Disney Robinhood.

548
00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:30,960
That intrigued me. I'd heard him on a couple of

549
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,519
barn dance shows and grandled auprary things like that, but

550
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,079
I'd never heard of this one, and I did find

551
00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:44,680
a fair number in circulation. Appears as a fifteen minute

552
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:51,359
daily radio program with him talking and then they're made

553
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,359
some singing as well. Definitely on my list of things

554
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,119
to check out. Well, now we turn to listener comments

555
00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:02,480
and feedback, and we have lots of comments on the

556
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,920
cautious celibate matter, and we start with a comment from

557
00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:11,079
Jeff on Patreon, who writes, no way Floyd should approve

558
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:16,480
one fifty three forty five cents expense account for this case,

559
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,200
since Johnny ran up those expenses for no reason and

560
00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:24,640
they could have been avoided entirely. You know, I think

561
00:30:24,759 --> 00:30:29,359
that there is an argument for that, because there was

562
00:30:29,519 --> 00:30:36,480
no actual reason for Johnny to run and the insurance

563
00:30:36,519 --> 00:30:39,599
company didn't tell him to do it, and it wasn't

564
00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:46,039
infurtherance of their business goals. And Johnny has had expense

565
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:50,200
accounts where at the end of the account he disclaimed,

566
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,200
as he did this week, he disclaimed the entire amount.

567
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,559
It's like, oh, yeah, I don't need the money or

568
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:01,960
send it somewhere else or whatever. He didn't in the

569
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,480
cautious celibate matter, and there's an argument that he really

570
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:10,799
should have. On the other hand, there are a couple

571
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,240
of reasons why Floyd's might end up paying Number one,

572
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,480
Let's be clear, this is Floyd's of England, which is

573
00:31:21,519 --> 00:31:27,319
a company that has a history of entertaining and humoring

574
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:33,319
people's eccentricities. Mainly it's been the clients, but Johnny is

575
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:39,640
a rather important insurance investigator and with a nationwide radio audience,

576
00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:44,119
it would be helpful for rich clients to be able

577
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,400
to have a way of getting Johnny Doller to come

578
00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:52,240
address their issues. They don't want to poison the well

579
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,200
of that relationship and end up with Joanie not wanting

580
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,359
to work with him, or being far less willing to

581
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:05,599
do so without charging a higher fee. So at at

582
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,559
the very least it's a bit of a pay me

583
00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:11,000
an hour, pay me later sort of situation if they

584
00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:15,000
want to continue to work with Johnny. And truth be told,

585
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:21,240
the way George handled things and communicated things is what

586
00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:25,920
aroused Johnny's fears in the first place, and he could

587
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,920
have said things at some point like, Okay, I give

588
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,920
what you're concerned about, Johnny, but Durango's not here for

589
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,559
that at all, and you could have avoided that whole

590
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,799
cross country chase. George would probably realize on some level

591
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,480
that his miscommunication and the way he approached it is

592
00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:49,759
kind of behind everything that happened, So he'd probably pay

593
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,240
the expense account out of guilt if nothing else, or

594
00:32:53,599 --> 00:32:56,759
if he just rather put the whole thing behind him

595
00:32:56,799 --> 00:33:00,400
as quickly as possible. Oh. I don't think that would

596
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,759
be legally required to pay it, but probably as a

597
00:33:04,759 --> 00:33:10,240
matter of business practice and maybe just personal morals, they

598
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,759
may decide to honor it. Then we go to Spotify,

599
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,359
where Don Wright's on the same episode people insisting that

600
00:33:18,359 --> 00:33:21,480
the Bob Bailey era was the best for Joni Dollar

601
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,079
or forgetting episodes like this one. Yikes. Well, I do

602
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:32,720
think that the cereals have a massive amount of weight

603
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,640
in the reputation of the Bailey era.

604
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 8: And let's be.

605
00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:44,039
Speaker 1: Clear that whole serial era is just fantastic. There are

606
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,519
flaws if you look at it closely, but it really

607
00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:52,680
was something special. I think it was some of the

608
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,720
finest work in the Golden Age of radio from a

609
00:33:56,799 --> 00:34:02,559
writing and acting perspective, both with some true masterpieces that

610
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:07,680
rise above what you would typically expect from a detective program.

611
00:34:08,119 --> 00:34:14,199
And the serials have had some really serious weight in

612
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:19,000
a number of ways. One interesting old time radio interview

613
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:24,559
that's out there is the interview of Bob Bailey's daughter, ROBERTA.

614
00:34:24,599 --> 00:34:30,960
Goodwin by John Dunning, the light radio historian who had

615
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,920
an old time radio program in the I believe in

616
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,000
the seventies, but definitely the eighties, and in that he

617
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:45,519
offered to make available to Bob Bailey recordings of his

618
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,679
work that he could listen to. And he stated on

619
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,119
the air that he had all but four or five

620
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,559
of the serials, and he had fifty half hour episodes.

621
00:34:57,639 --> 00:35:01,920
And that tells you right away that the Bob Bailey

622
00:35:02,119 --> 00:35:07,559
serials were circulating earlier and at a much higher rate

623
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:12,840
than the half hour episodes, because there were about two

624
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,039
hundred half hour episodes, I should say self contained episodes,

625
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,199
because most didn't go close to a half hour.

626
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 8: And even in.

627
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,639
Speaker 1: This era where we have most of the half hour episodes,

628
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:34,559
the serials are good, bingeable, constantly re listenable, and build

629
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,760
a lot of goodwill for Bob Bailey's era as Johnny Dowler,

630
00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:44,360
and it illustrates in a way how much we as

631
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:50,960
modern listeners can actually be biased in our perception of

632
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,360
what was good and what was bad based on what

633
00:35:55,679 --> 00:35:59,960
samples survive. We assume that what we're hearing is represented

634
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:04,440
of the whole, but it's just the sample that survived.

635
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:10,400
I do wonder whether Bailey's era would be evaluated differently if,

636
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,199
like so many serialized programs of the era, we had few,

637
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:21,920
if any episodes in circulation, like the serialized versions of

638
00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:27,119
Mister and Missus North or Mister Keene, Tracer of Lost Persons,

639
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,599
or Cuirote or Rocky Jordan. If we didn't have any

640
00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:35,519
of these serials, or we just had say one or

641
00:36:35,559 --> 00:36:39,280
two serials. Say we had The Sea Legs Matter, the

642
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,400
Indestructible Mick Matter, and then we had one hundred and

643
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,920
eighty half hour episodes. Let's say I think we'd have

644
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:52,159
a very different view of the era. Then we also

645
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:58,320
have a comment from Podbean. He adds, this was not good.

646
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,679
Thanks so much. I sate your comments. Now it's time

647
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,960
