What is it? 234 00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:25,519 Speaker 4: A letter was in the pocket of. 235 00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 3: Rick Sportsch huh Well, suspender weather has one benefit Federal. 236 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 4: State's Life insurance company. It says it was just a nose, 237 00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:39,399 it says Stevenson. On February fourteenth, the company paid forty 238 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,279 thousand dollars to Missus Packler, a husband died in a 239 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,360 hunting accident. Suggests you look into it. But Rick Stevenson 240 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,679 must be an insurance in deskin. 241 00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:52,759 Speaker 3: I see that. Yeah, it is a clipping in the 242 00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:57,000 same envelope. It's an old one. Mayville, Herold, March twenty first. 243 00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:00,240 Our time was grieved to hear of the unfort and 244 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,320 death of mister Tom Packler. His shotgun was accidentally discharged 245 00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:06,279 as he was crossing a fence near his own back 246 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,039 property line, just half a mile from his own house. 247 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,240 Tom died in the meadow he loved so well under 248 00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:18,080 the familiar canopy of the book scene under the elm trees. 249 00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:35,720 We'll return to tonight's adventure of George Valentine in just 250 00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:38,559 a moment. What do you think you'll be wearing when 251 00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:41,480 cool autumn days turn up? Maybe a tweed suit or 252 00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:44,240 a woolen win and next winter an overcoat and a 253 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,559 raincoat during the wet spring. Sure you're climate tailored. But 254 00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,799 here's the surprising thing. Chevron Supreme gasoline is also climate tailored. 255 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,360 It's scientifically blended according to the west, different altitude and 256 00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:59,919 temperature zones, and according to the season. That's why was 257 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,360 Chevrons Supreme in the tank. You can be sure of 258 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,679 peak performance wherever you drive the year round. Drive tomorrow, 259 00:15:06,879 --> 00:15:09,679 and right away you'll notice your car's quick response to 260 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,919 this premium quality gasoline. Faster starts, faster pickup in traffic, 261 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,519 and smoother ping, free power on hills. You'll find you 262 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,840 can't buy a better gasoline for today's high compression engines. 263 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,279 So to give your car it's best chance, give it 264 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,440 climate tailored Chevron Supreme. Ask for it at independent Chevron 265 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,600 gas stations and at standard stations where they say and 266 00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:49,720 mean we take better care of your car. Now back 267 00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:53,519 to tonight's adventure of George Valentine. You meet a frail, 268 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,360 harmless little man who's only a fence. Is boring people? 269 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,240 Or is it He's apparently so dangerous to someone one 270 00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:02,639 that an attempt has been made on his life in 271 00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:05,559 the other roomor in Missus Packler's boarding house, Rick Stevenson. 272 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,200 First he seemed to be only interested in Missus Pagler's money, 273 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,559 but now Rick seems to be an insurance investigator interested 274 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,720 in her husband's death.

Maybe there was only 319 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,559 a system in the chemistry. 320 00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 3: But a minute, you know what I noticed about your flag? 321 00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:05,359 Although ahead, take a look at it.

Besides, 337 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,240 the clipping said Packler died under those elm trees, and 338 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,519 Skinny's got a secret about what he saw under the 339 00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:54,440 elm trees. 340 00:18:56,319 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 4: Where you can just see the trees from his hammock 341 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,160 at the edge of the meadow. Or somebody's taking down 342 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,519 that umbrella.

Were you afraid mister Stevenson would find 431 00:24:35,559 --> 00:24:38,240 that shotgun examine it for evidence of I don't know. 432 00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:40,079 Speaker 5: He was coming together and I had to kill it. Why, 433 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,960 missus Packler, Oh, I was putting his pressure in in 434 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,799 a way yesterday when I found an envelope insurance company 435 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,559 note about me clipping him bout Thom's day. Yes, we know, 436 00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:52,440 I'd guessed before he was up to something. So many 437 00:24:52,519 --> 00:24:55,240 questions about me, And he wasn't a juryman like you 438 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,920 said he was. He spent so much time getting close 439 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,759 to poor little skinny head asking him questions. 440 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 4: Were a little skinny, Adam, that's a strange way for. 441 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 7: You to tell me. 442 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,799 Speaker 5: The Lord forgiven it. Skinny hasn't much longer to live anywhere. 443 00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:12,519 Speaker 3: I could have killed him by the accident, sure, sure 444 00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:15,880 like the umbrella or the flag. Because you were afraid 445 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:16,880 he knew something, wouldn't you? 446 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,279 Speaker 5: He did under the elm tree to keep saying. Man, Now, 447 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,759 sooner or later, you'd tell mister Stevens, tell him he's 448 00:25:22,759 --> 00:25:40,279 seen me shooting my husband. 449 00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 3: Missus Packley. I don't know what it was, skinny saw 450 00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:40,200 way out under the elms, but it couldn't have been 451 00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:45,920 much shit. He brags about retaining his sense. Well, if ever, 452 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,880 there's a man in this town who'd have learned how 453 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,599 to hang the flag, he's the one. But when it 454 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,720 was backwards, I had to tell him so he couldn't see. 455 00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:58,960 Don't you understand, Missus Packley. He'd been out there dozens 456 00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:01,960 of times admiring, but he couldn't see that far. 457 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 5: What do you mean? 458 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,079 Speaker 3: I mean? There was never any real evidence against you 459 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,880 concerning your husband. You did commit a perfect crime, perfect 460 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,599 except for a guilty conscience. But mister Stevens, I know, 461 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,720 I know a note that said Stevenson, missus Packler's got 462 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,920 some money. Husband, Dad suggests you look into it. Well, 463 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,359 Rick Stevenson just had a friend at the insurance company, 464 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,599 that's all, a friend who tipped him off. Oh you lie, 465 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,720 you No, you didn't need to shoot Rick. Nobody's ever 466 00:26:31,759 --> 00:26:35,759 guessed you killed your husband. Rick Stevenson was exactly what 467 00:26:35,839 --> 00:26:39,480 your brother guessed. He was a confidence man. Missus packler 468 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,440 out after a widow's money. 469 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 4: George, you know there's one thing I still don't understand, Angel. 470 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,279 I mean, Skinny did see something the elm trees.

All 473 00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:11,240 poor Skinny wants is for someone to like him, for 474 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,319 people to listen. And all days been acting as though 475 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,039 he had a secret, as though he'd cooked up a surprise. 476 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 7: Well my idea surprise surprise.

It's 539 00:32:11,799 --> 00:32:17,240 a really great story and some very key parts played 540 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,440 in this by Brooksy. If it weren't for her being there, 541 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,759 the old Professor would have died. So nice save indeed, Well, 542 00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:29,160 I do have a review off of iTunes. This one 543 00:32:29,319 --> 00:32:35,079 comes from kha eleven E says love the podcast. I 544 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,359 found some of these old detective stories when I was 545 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,759 driving to work at three in the morning ten years 546 00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:42,920 ago and didn't know where to find more once I 547 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,039 quit that job. Now I hear the episode new episodes 548 00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:49,079 every day. Thanks Adam for the great selection and for 549 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,160 insights into the old Masters. Well, thanks so much. And 550 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,079 I don't think that has been a challenge with a 551 00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:56,880 lot of the over the air distribution of the old 552 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,039 time radio is they tend to get so awful time 553 00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:03,960 slots to be able to broadcast that people don't even 554 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,759 have a chance to be exposed to them. So internet 555 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,480 definitely helps a lot with that. I do encourage you 556 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,519 if you do download the show through iTunes to rate 557 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,359 us on iTunes, you don't have to write a review. 558 00:33:18,759 --> 00:33:23,400 We've had about five people had the ratings and one review, 559 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,559 so thanks for everybody who's done that. Then also we 560 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,759 have a review for the Android app. Matthew says, finally 561 00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:33,720 an app that I will use.
