Nick would go out 329 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,480 and something would happen to him. Maybe he'd beat a 330 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,640 man with a gun. He'd come home and stare at me. 331 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,680 He needed me so he could feel ashamed. 332 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 2: You still love it, thought he was here. 333 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 13: I was glad he's gone, but I'm not sorry.

I do like this sort of story and 526 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,200 this sort of solution, particularly when you're dealing with a 527 00:31:28,359 --> 00:31:32,319 powerful underworld figure and you know you have all of 528 00:31:32,359 --> 00:31:35,400 these dangerous enemies and it turns out the person who 529 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,799 did it was just an ordinary person. It kind of 530 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,599 speaks to the mortality of those who think they're so 531 00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:46,480 big and important and can step on everybody else. And 532 00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:49,599 of course is always great to hear Howard McNear on 533 00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:50,799 Broadways My Beat. 534 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,119 Speaker 2: Well, now we. 535 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,559 Speaker 1: Turn to listener comments and feedback, and we have a 536 00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:59,680 couple of comments on YouTube regarding the John Webster murder case. 537 00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:03,799 Mildred writes, I think I heard John's other wife mentioned 538 00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:06,920 on an episode of Burns and Allen, which is a 539 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,039 good illustration because most of their episodes are well past 540 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:16,000 that series brief Hayday, and Jeffrey writes, Adam, is it 541 00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:19,799 my imagination or does that Edna Harper sound like the 542 00:32:19,839 --> 00:32:25,359 Southern Bell girlfriend of the Great Guildersleeve, Leela Ransom. Well, 543 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,559 I don't think you're crazy, and it could be similar, 544 00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:32,160 but it is not the same actress. Unlike most other 545 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,480 series where we don't have the cast list, we do 546 00:32:35,599 --> 00:32:39,880 know that the only two actresses in this were Peggy 547 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,200 Weber and Jeanette Nolan, both of whom you know. I 548 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,720 think Jeanette Nolan was known more for her old lady voices, 549 00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:51,200 but she had some vocal dexterity. Either one of those 550 00:32:51,359 --> 00:32:55,440 could do a Southern Bell character quite well. And then 551 00:32:55,519 --> 00:32:58,720 we have a comment on our listener survey from Lynn 552 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:04,240 who writes, Adam Graham wonderful knowledge, highest quality podcasts for 553 00:33:04,319 --> 00:33:07,880 old time Radio.

Sure was a bad one. 573 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,519 I hope you catch those kids didn't even slow down. 574 00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:10,320 Understand you witnessed the accident. Wonder if he'd be kind 575 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,400 not to tell us what you saw. 576 00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:14,039 Speaker 19: I was just closing up my nursery here, just unlocked 577 00:34:14,079 --> 00:34:15,400 my car and was about to get in when I 578 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,320 saw this car come shooting up. Los Phylis there. Fast 579 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,280 clip went away with the two women. They were just 580 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,880 stepping off the curb under the crosswalk over there. I 581 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,639 could tell they didn't see the car. Yeh, hawk my horn. 582 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,519 I guess I wasn't quick enough, just offul going this morning. 583 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,039 Oh where that car hit those women? Looked to me 584 00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:34,960 like he knocked him fifty feet at least, then just 585 00:34:35,039 --> 00:34:36,840 like nothing at all. The car raced right on through 586 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,840 the intersection on Don los Phyllis that way. 587 00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 2: Need you get a look at the driving? 588 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,159 Speaker 17: No, sure, not too good. But I believe he had 589 00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:45,599 blonde hair. Looked to me like he was alone in 590 00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:48,719 the car. Anything more about him looked like a young kid. 591 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,840 To me, I bet on that he was young, blond kid, 592 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,920 about eighteen nineteen on in their. 593 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,280 Speaker 1: Hope you'll be with us then in the meantime, send 594 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:03,880 your comments to Box thirteen at Greatdetectives dot net, follow 595 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,599 us on Twitter at Radio Detectives, and check us out 596 00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:14,880 on Instagram, Instagram, dot com, slash Great Detectives from Boise, Idaho. 597 00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:18,079 This is your host, Adam Graham signing off.
