to see thee But I guess I was tired after

90
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:29,639
the long drive, and he seemed to think the morning

91
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,040
was timing up. So I hit the sack early in

92
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,319
the morning. Some coffee sent up to my room, and

93
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:37,319
then the hotel said, okay to nine dollars even that

94
00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:39,959
side him three and by twenty five minutes after seven,

95
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,199
I swung onto the long winding drive that led up

96
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:44,480
to the front of the Edwards mansion. It was in

97
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:47,120
a wealthy residential section a couple of miles north as

98
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,360
the city Propper, and sat in the middle of what

99
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,040
must have been a full acre of beautiful trees and gardens.

100
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,560
As I approached the house, I noticed the car parked

101
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,800
out fox of sweet new Little woodcot. The door was open,

102
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:01,199
and I've been looking and got out of it and it

103
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:04,120
was just about to climb in. As I pulled up

104
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,439
to a stop, she stood there looking at me questioningly.

105
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,800
This is the Edwards Paul, Isn't.

106
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 5: That's why you want to see somebody?

107
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:21,399
Speaker 3: Why? Yes, As a matter of fact, mister Edwards sent

108
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:21,800
for me.

109
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,639
Speaker 2: Oh really, are you an old friend of here?

110
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 3: Oh? I didn't know it, Shure, That isn't what I mean.

Speaker 6: My name is Johnny d John insurance detective or investigator

Speaker 3: Why uh why do you say that?

117
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:45,399
Speaker 4: Man?

118
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:49,199
Speaker 6: Well, Daddy seemed to be worried about something lately.

119
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,079
Speaker 8: You know what no, at least I'm not sure. That's

120
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,399

121
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 3: Going to work. Oh I thought you were just leaving.

122
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 7: No, I just got here just before you arrive.

123
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:03,879
Speaker 3: What do you do for a living?

124
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 8: Don't laugh, I'm a model. A Stop raising your eyebrows.

125
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,639
After all, somebody must suppose for those dads for this.

126
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:15,600
And so we go in and see Daddy, that is,

127
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:16,199
if he's up.

128
00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:19,519
Speaker 3: I have a breakfast day with him at seven point thirty,

129
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,279
and it's not exactly seven thirty one. Can we better

130

Speaker 2: Daddy.

146
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:30,079
Speaker 3: Wait another night?

147
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,519
Speaker 8: What is it, Johnny?

148
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 3: But I caught up with a cord, I.

149
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: Guess, daddy, Johnny, Johnny?

150
00:08:47,200 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, great, so Marylyn. He said, together with Marilyn

151
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:11,000
Edwards and not his daughter of John wake here, that

152
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:14,840
I found his body in his bedroom points over, no

153
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,360
sign of any wound, no evidents of foul play, without

154
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:21,120
touching nobody. I found the Albany Police Fomicide Division and

155
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,960
with a minute judged Christie arrive with doctor Walden Lincoln

156
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:27,480
and sold the doctor. Examination was brief and very thorough,

157
00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:31,159
including settle on the spot. Tests were poisons of any kind.

158
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:34,519
How who in.

159
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:40,159
Speaker 6: Theory was with I didn't doctor. He was sixty eight

160
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:40,879
or nine, I.

161
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: Think, And he hasn't been sick, not that I know

162
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,360
of Dick and the hospital and would know better than I.

163
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 5: Hasn't had a day of sickness since he caught that.

164
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: Cold last spring. Well, his pump gave out, that's all.

165
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:58,200
Don't expect that in the man his age. Yeah, I

166
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,559
know you're O. You didn't find anything, did you, Chris not?

167
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:06,639
I think God why they bothered to call us in

168
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:10,759
instead of his own doctor purse. If new folks want,

169
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,360
I can order an audition.

170
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, that would be.

171
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: Terrible and down it goes to the natural causes. I'm

172
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:28,159
dead approximately seven fifteen, doctor, and I expect you can

173
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:30,559
carry on from here, cantamish.

174
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,279
Speaker 6: I'll take casting Anne.

175
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 5: If he can't, I will again. And with closing these wizards, well.

176
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: Come on target back to the Morgue. Oh the morg.

177
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 5: Well, if you want some breakfast. I ain't gonna do

178
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,320
him any good now can help?

179
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,399
Speaker 8: But I suppose we're may as well, Johnny, and do

180
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:09,679
whatever we have to do here.

181
00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: There was something mighty wrong here, yet I couldn't put

182
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,159
my finger on him. Had I really caught the smell

183
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,039
of Cordie before we entered that room? It was too

184
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,320
late to tell now, even when the windows closed, those

185
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,360
windows the cold morning. Had he left them open while

186
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:32,679
he dressed Marilyn, heir to his big insurance poot? Had

187
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:36,519
she really just arrived when I got there? If the

188
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,000
housekeeper Durkin had been in the kitchen making breakfast, it

189
00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:42,840
would have been easy for someone to sneak in. But

190
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,120
who and why? And what about Durkins?

191
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,159
Speaker 10: I'll wait a minute.

192
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: The police medic said, death to the natural causes, no happen,

193
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:57,879
no wounds of any kind, So that's fast. The undertaker

194
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,240
must have been hungry for business, because he got there

195
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:03,360
before noon and took the body away meantime. Of course,

196
00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:05,799
I'd questioned both Durkin and Maryland pretty early.

197
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 8: Emmy, Oh no, Sonny, Daddy doesn't have.

198
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: Nny.

199
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: You keep talking as though you think he might have

200
00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:15,480
been murdered.

201
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:18,519
Speaker 3: Does anyone beside you benefit from his death?

202
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 7: Marylin, that's a horrid thing to say, I do.

203
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:24,799
Speaker 2: What are you doing snooping around this way?

204
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,919
Speaker 5: As much high affair as yours? Now that miss Edwards

205
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,360
is gone.

206
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,399
Speaker 3: What do you mean by that?

207
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,519
Speaker 6: Kin mean the money he left me in his will

208
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:34,399
and the co disciline as will it says Maryn's got

209
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,480
to share the insurance with me if she collected.

210
00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:39,519
Speaker 3: What do you mean by that?

211
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 6: Everybody knows her and her father, her foster father, anything

212
00:12:44,919 --> 00:12:47,120
getting along too good, every since she decided to get

213
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,080
out and learn her own living, or tried to.

214
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 5: I've been getting along all life here, sure, and.

215
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,919
Speaker 6: All the attention you've been giving your dear.

216
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 5: Daddy these last couple of years.

217
00:12:57,039 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 6: By today's the first time you've been in this house.

218
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,759
Speaker 2: And that doesn't mean that do you and I haven't

219
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:10,240
there's something you wished to be left alone?

220
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: Sorry, Johnny Marlin. I want to go up and look

221
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:15,840
at your fathers again.

222
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,279
Speaker 8: All right, if you like, I'll go along.

223
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 3: Thanks, I'd rather do it alone. Oh why did I

224
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,279
find nothing? Sure, there were a couple of old bottles

225
00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:34,279
of hair tonic in a way under some shirts. But

226
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:38,200
after all, I mean at his age. And that's funny

227
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,240
little thing on the dressing table. It was a little

228
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,279
well half stand. I guess you'd call it the kids

229
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,600
you find in a woman's hatch up, you know, a

230
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,039
little wooden stand about eight or ten inches high. Johnny, Look,

231
00:13:49,159 --> 00:13:51,919
huh did you get that?

232
00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 8: After what you said downstairs? I guess I began the one.

233
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,120
So I looked around outside, you know, for footprints.

234
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,799
Speaker 3: I don't know what I was looking for it, and

235
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,799
you found his handgun. It was in the middle of

236
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,600
a myrtle bush.

237
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,519
Speaker 8: It was Donny's done. And see one son has been tired.

238
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I also see you carefully put your fingerprints all

239
00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:20,159
over it. Oh fine, now my prints are all over it.

240
00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:25,799
So if it was used to what am I talking about?

241
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,360
If it had been a shot trick and would have

242
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,559
heard it. What's more, there would have been a bullet wound.

243
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,240
And there was no sign of anything.

244
00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 4: In the.

245
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:46,679
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Maryland, maybe there was. It was six

246
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:53,279
uals now act free if you're truly doney dollar, I'm

247
00:14:53,360 --> 00:15:00,720
the hair raising letter. My hunt was right. I was

248
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:03,399
sure of it now. I told miss taking and Maryland

249
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:04,919
to stay there at the house and wait for me,

250
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,080
then jumped into my car and drove into Albany to

251
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:07,720
the undertaker.

252
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 11: Here we are stellar. The embalming room is right here.

253
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,519
Speaker 3: I'm not confess we.

254
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 11: Haven't had the opportunity to prepare mister Edward's body. Good

255
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:34,279
sez he's not a rushed all day. Yeah, I'm sure

256
00:15:34,799 --> 00:15:36,480
worthy result.

257
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:49,559
Speaker 3: Yeah? Was he a relative of room? No? No, are

258
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,679
you doing but trying to make sure that a crazy

259
00:15:53,799 --> 00:15:57,519
hunter had looking? How are you trying to pull his

260
00:15:57,679 --> 00:16:02,279
hair off? No? Off? Well, I think if now look here,

261
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,440
young man, Look you see what's what I'm trying to

262
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:13,080
do here? What? Yes, cold heaven, I can't believe it.

263
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:15,679
Speaker 11: He would never know.

264
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody would have done. But it's a

265
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,360
hair piece, all right, that's big enough to cover a

266
00:16:21,399 --> 00:16:25,200
small ball, but it matches the rest of his hair.

267
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:28,120
So he got some kind of a solvent. I don't

268
00:16:28,159 --> 00:16:29,159
want to have to rip it off.

269
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 11: But yes, I think we had to be.

270
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:35,919
Speaker 7: Sure.

271
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: Those old bottles of hair tonics, probably hadn't used them

272
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,399
in years. But evert wooden't stand sure. He parked his

273
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,279
wing on it, and probably nobody knew who he wore

274
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,120
except himself and somebody very close to him.

275
00:16:52,480 --> 00:17:01,159
Speaker 11: Here, mister dollars, this will move to pay without day. Yeah,

276
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:02,679
I don't understand where.

277
00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:11,079
Speaker 10: You want to take it though, Oh god, yeah, right

278
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,680
in the middle of his boss, but covered up by

279
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,200
the hair feet and the bullet admitted was a thirty

280
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:27,279
eight specially and you said you didn't get here this

281
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:28,279
morning until I did.

282
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, Johnny, you're sure? Yes, Johnny went into his room again.

283
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,319
Where's the kitchen? Idea?

284
00:17:38,079 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: John You have a funny look.

285
00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, I'll tell you this much. Your

286
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:47,440
father was murdered, all right, as sure as that? Yes,

287
00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:51,680
you said, I am, ah, what's here here on the

288
00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:52,480
dressing table?

289
00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 4: You know what this is?

290
00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 7: Of course?

291
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: It's a little hatstand.

292
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,519
Speaker 8: I used when I was here.

293
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,519
Speaker 3: What's it doing here?

294
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 8: No, Fanny, I never really noticed it before.

295
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: How long did daddy wear to pay Marylynd what to

296
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,799
pay a hair piece?

297
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 7: Oh?

298
00:18:09,079 --> 00:18:09,279
Speaker 8: Never?

299
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,079
Speaker 2: He was always very proud of the care.

300
00:18:12,039 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 3: You're sure about that?

301
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 4: Quick?

302
00:18:13,599 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 8: I am for a long time he always used to

303
00:18:16,079 --> 00:18:18,039
smell of hair tonic when he came down stairs.

304
00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 3: What was going to happen?

305
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 4: You're wrong?

306
00:18:20,079 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: What a small, very well made hairpiece covered the ball

307
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:26,480
spot where he was shot this morning with this thirty

308
00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:28,039
eighth you say you found outside?

309
00:18:28,839 --> 00:18:34,319
Speaker 5: I did honestly, all right, all.

310
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 3: Right, I believe you in spite of the way you

311
00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:38,319
covered up any fingerprints that may.

312
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 7: Have been honest You did too, Johnny.

313
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now listen, that leaves only one person who could

314
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,680
have one about the hairpiece have killed him and then

315
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,079
covered up the bullet worm with it. I knew i'd

316
00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:53,279
smell burn Gunpotter when we first came up here. Think yeah, yeah,

317
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,480
but I prove it. I've got to try ah bluff. Yeah,

318
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,200
it seems like a bluffer. I don't believe it.

319
00:19:02,519 --> 00:19:04,559
Speaker 5: Yet with him dead, you'd have money.

320
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 3: More money.

321
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,839
Speaker 4: Well, Dric, So you're back, are you then?

322
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: Anyway? Checking up on something something I should have suspected

323
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,519
last night when I talked to mister Edward's on the phone.

324
00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:23,319
What do you mean line clicks that meant somebody was

325
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,200
listening in on the phone downstairs. Don't look at me.

326
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,759
Speaker 5: I didn't even know you called him last night?

327
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 3: I wasn't dead asleep. Were you drinking? But I was

328
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,279
just checking on at police headquarters. The police headquare was

329
00:19:36,279 --> 00:19:39,039
a set of fingerprints I found on a glass you'd

330
00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:42,559
been using in the kitchen. I wanted to compare them

331
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:44,400
with some prince I found on this gun.

332
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,799
Speaker 5: That's mister Edward's gun.

333
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: When you used to kill it.

334
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: That's a lie.

335
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,039
Speaker 5: I wasped him off and.

336
00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:53,759
Speaker 3: Threw it out the window, then over the other windows

337
00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:54,920
to let the smell of powder up.

338
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,319
Speaker 5: Yes, I wasped them off.

339
00:19:56,559 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 7: At Lisa, I I thought, I, okay, let's go.

340
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: Don't worry. There'll be no part of the insurance or

341
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:21,039
any other money for circuits. Of course, we'll take care

342
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:26,519
of that, and probably with Benny from Maryland. Well, you

343
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,759
know something, here's again I think i'd like to see again.

344
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:34,880
And I don't mean because of her fortunes. Expense accounts total,

345
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,880
including all the mileage on my car forty seven fifty

346
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:55,920
yours to lean Anny dollars. Our Star will return in

347
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:03,640
just a moment. Now here's our Stars tell you about

348
00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:07,359
next week's story. Next week, a little jade statue is

349
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,640
the key to one of the cleverest spots I've ever

350
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:35,319
seen join us? Won't you yours truly? Johnny Dolls? Yours

351
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,960
Truly Johnny Dollars starring Bob Bailey, originates in Hollywood and

352
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,240
has written, produced and directed by Jack john Star. Heard

353
00:21:44,279 --> 00:21:48,160
in our cast were Virginia, Greg Shirley Mitchell, Jack Edwards,

354
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,759
Ralph Moody, Junior Matthews and Parley Bear. These should have

355
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:56,440
joined us next week, same time and station, or another

356
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:02,480
exciting story of yours truly, Johnny Dollar, mister.

357
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,279
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, this is a solution that really does

358
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,720
brain credulity and really to the breaking point, the murder

359
00:22:24,839 --> 00:22:30,759
depends on just a ridiculous amount of things believable. Really,

360
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,440
if somehow she was able to liver the shock close

361
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,680
enough that there was a minimal splatter that had to

362
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,880
be cleaned up, but having the crime happened at seven

363
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:47,240
point fifteen meant that she had fifteen minutes to clean

364
00:22:47,319 --> 00:22:52,640
up the scene and get breakfast started and ready to

365
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,920
be on the table. Though that no one would suspect

366
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,839
what she'd done, And really the whole thing falls apart

367
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,680
if a real thorough medical examination is done. The fact

368
00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:10,200
that she came up with the plan that she concocted

369
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:17,440
this very cold blooded, very calculated plan and then delivered

370
00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:24,759
precision execution on the crime. And then Clumbusile incriminates herself

371
00:23:24,839 --> 00:23:29,160
not once, but multiple times. So this was a below

372
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:33,400
average installment, which, given the fact that we have so

373
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,440
few episodes from this era in circulation, is a bit disappointing.

374
00:23:39,079 --> 00:23:42,519
All right, Well, listen her comments and feedback now, and

375
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:48,519
we have of comments on YouTube regarding the Johnson payroll matter.

376
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:53,519
First off, we start with Allen, who says, well written story.

377
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:56,960
It had me guessing, And James said, I thought I

378
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,279
had heard all of the Bob Bailey episodes, but I've

379
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:04,279
never heard this one. I'm happy to help the algorithm

380
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,640
by hitting that hot button. Well, thank you so much.

381
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:13,640
I appreciate everybody who does what they can to help.

382
00:24:13,759 --> 00:24:16,599
I have tried to use the hot button on other

383
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,319
videos and I can't seem to locate it, but thanks

384
00:24:20,319 --> 00:24:24,279
so much for those who can find it. The idea

385
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,920
of having you have heard all of the Johnny dollars

386
00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:34,640
it has actually been a situation where the number of

387
00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:39,799
circulating episodes has been evolving over the years. It hasn't

388
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,920
changed all at once, but it was interesting. I was

389
00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:48,599
listening to an interview that John Dunning did with Bob

390
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,599
Bailey's daughter a few years back, and it struck me

391
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,519
when he talked about the Johnny Dollar cereals. He said, wait, yeah,

392
00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:02,279
I've got about forty of those. I think he said

393
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,400
something like yeah, and I got about thirty forty of

394
00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:10,319
the half hour episodes. And now, of course we are

395
00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:14,680
up to more than one hundred and seventy of the

396
00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:19,200
half hour episodes, and all the cereals are around, although

397
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,039
there are four which have a single episode missing. But

398
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,160
there have been a steady trickle over the years of

399
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,000
more Johnny Dollar episodes, which gives me hope. Obviously, just

400
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:35,279
a few months ago we played one that I'd never

401
00:25:35,319 --> 00:25:39,480
heard before, and I've heard five new ones come into

402
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,200
circulation just in the time that I've been doing this podcast,

403
00:25:44,559 --> 00:25:47,400
and I'm so glad that I was around to hear

404
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:54,119
Johnny Dollar using the plan of dropping explosives onto a

405
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,599
glacier from a small plane. It gives me hope that

406
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,880
someday I will get to hear the episode where Jack

407
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:07,640
Johnstone actually wrote a self insertion story, but alas not

408
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:11,079
quite yet. All right, well, now it is time to

409
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,839
thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and I do

410
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,240

with Counterspy where I hate you are there, Counciler.

422
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 9: They have crossed the border between Mexico and the United States.

423
00:27:05,839 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: No is it not against the law.

424
00:27:08,279 --> 00:27:10,519
Speaker 9: Or I am sure no one will have Jake. But

425
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,799
they have such a distinguished gentleman of the Mexican government.

426
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: What is the meaning of this?

427
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 9: No, you know the health worker, Yes, Hans Tire s

428

00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: Are you kidnapping me?

432
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,759
Speaker 9: They are going to open the doors a plane and

433
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,960
you are going to fall out.

434
00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 6: No, you cannot.

435
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,279
Speaker 9: You will be found on American soil, and a very

436
00:27:36,319 --> 00:27:38,640
delicate international situation should result.

437
00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:39,680

00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:48,799
Speaker 9: They will fly very low, so you will not be
