Speaker 2: The Big Story.
Speaker 3: It was Sunday morning along US Highway sixty six, heading
west from Telsaje, Clinton, Oklahoma. Missus Rose Penn and her
son were driving to church.
Speaker 4: Jim, Jim, to stop the Car's the monomer?
Speaker 5: I told you stop the car.
Speaker 4: Don't you see it over there? On the side of
the road. A cost is a man sleeping on that car?
Speaker 6: There's no business advises it't Maurah, A fellos got a
right to sleep.
Speaker 7: You get on out of this car and find out
why you're sleeping there on the cot beside the road,
whether like this? Now go on, well, well.
Speaker 8: What are you standing there for?
Speaker 9: Is he all right?
Speaker 5: Is he sleeping?
Speaker 3: He's sleeping, Maurah, He's sleeping, but he ain't never going
to wake up.
Speaker 2: Taltzer, Oklahoma. The story of a reporter who found three
golden coins that's spelled death. Teltzer, Oklahoma. The story is
it actually happened, Reporter Nolan Bullock's story as he lived it.
Speaker 3: You, Nolan Bullock of the Tulsa Tribune, our reporter with
a flattened nose, and you've got it by staking it
consistently into other people's business. Like now you sit in
the fashionable Will Rogers' Hotel and clamor near Telson and
take part in a business conference. The business being, since
Oklahoma is a dry state bootlegging, and your job that
of undercover agent for the State Crime Bureau. Your name
for today, Nolan Bullock, is mister Norton.
Speaker 10: Mighty good meal, I sir, here, mister Norton, mighty good.
Speaker 11: Cigar, mister Ritchie, okay, perfect, thank you kindly.
Speaker 4: I have been sitting quiet all through the meal, mister Richie.
Do we talk business now, yes, sure thing, mister Norton.
But to tell you the I don't think we can
make a deal. We've had a week to check my
credit and no, no, no it's not the credit. Well what
is it? Then? I've been without merchandise three and a
half weeks.
Speaker 11: Now, Look, I explained to you last time, a change
in the corporation as big as mine. That takes time,
mister Norton. When mister Veeze was alive, the man in
child before mister Breton, I told him you've got to
prepare for eventualities like this.
Speaker 10: But he didn't listen to me. Nobody listens to an account.
Speaker 4: Look, all I know is that I've got to have
twenty one cases of stock to let so loud please,
mister Norton. And I need two dozen barrels weekly regularly.
When am I going to get a definite answer? You
know there are other firms to deal with.
Speaker 10: Now, you wouldn't want to do that, mister Norton.
Speaker 11: When mister Breton comes in and takes over, that's the
man you want to deal with, and the only one
in this state. I worked for mister Breton years ago,
and I tell you, frankly, I'm looking forward to his return.
Things never were the same in all the years he
was away. He's a fine man, mister Breton, strictly a business.
But the best terms you could get them leave.
Speaker 4: But I know about mister Breedon. All I am asking
you now is when does he get here? When can
we make our final arrangements.
Speaker 10: To tell you the truth? Mister Norton, he ought to
have been here yesterday.
Speaker 11: He left California. Oh, must have been three days ago.
I believe I'll wire him and find out if there
was any change in his plan.
Speaker 4: I've got one hundred and twenty one establishments waiting on,
mister Breedon. Those customers want beer, they want wine, they
want whiskey, and they want it now. They are not
interested in any of my business difficulties.
Speaker 3: And so you, Nolan Bullock, undercover agent and reporter, watch
the pleasanter Capital leave and you make your call. Capital
two thousand, State Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Let me add
mister Oliver things as this is Nolan Bullock. Oh, I'm sorry.
I can't talk to you.
Speaker 4: Know well, I have just let Richie expect breeding in
a few days for Pete's sake.
Speaker 6: I can't talk to you.
Speaker 12: I've got to run where we got to run?
Speaker 6: If you must know?
Speaker 3: Dead man, report it out on Route sixty six. He look,
I'm supposed to be out there. I can't see that
you're talking to you murder that looks like it. Well,
you don't have to talk to me on the phone.
Speaker 4: I'll meet you there.
Speaker 12: Where is it?
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm not ready to give anything out on this.
Speaker 12: I look naked.
Speaker 4: You don't tell me where to meet you on that killing.
I'll get off this breeding case fast. That's black man,
I'll call it what you like.
Speaker 6: Where is it?
Speaker 3: About two miles outside of Clinton on Route sixty six,
big gas station that side of the roads.
Speaker 12: It I won't.
Speaker 3: And so you, Nolan Bullock, drop the story about the
boot legs syndicate and hop on the biggest story, the
story of murder. And now you stand with Special Investigator
Nick Oliver, both of you shaking your head at the
dead man lying on the cot just off Route sixty
six near Clinton.
Speaker 12: Oh, possible way of identification?
Speaker 6: H nothing.
Speaker 3: I'll get Haynes with a finger print dure and see
if his prints tell us anything. I don't think even
the mother would recognize his face. Hey, where are you going?
Speaker 12: Looking around?
Speaker 6: Wish that ambulance will get here? What are you looking for?
Speaker 12: Something in the grass? Nick?
Speaker 4: Kay?
Speaker 6: Do you know it's a coin?
Speaker 12: Here's another one? Let me see there's a Mexican.
Speaker 6: Coins, right, that's what they are.
Speaker 12: Well, what are they doing here?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 3: Well we've got something anyhow, It's not much more than nothing,
but it's something.
Speaker 6: Finally, the ambulance. Yes, so you okay? Sentem in.
Speaker 3: Somebody thinks he's got something on the murder Onen, and
somebody's got something more than we have.
Speaker 6: Next Everyen Burns reverence her mister Burns.
Speaker 13: You see, Lieutenant, I'm not an ordained minister, merely an
evangelical preacher who tries to bring a little understanding a lieutenant.
Speaker 6: It's not lieutenant, just mister.
Speaker 3: I beg your pardon, sir, like you said, not lieutenant,
just mister pride right.
Speaker 13: And the last Saturday, Sir, I was holding my regular
campfire meeting. We hold campfire meetings every Saturday evening, all
the way up and down Highway six to six. That night, Sir,
I was preaching on.
Speaker 6: The side, said you knew something about the murder.
Speaker 13: I was coming to that directly, sir. It was toward
the end of my sermon. The disturbance came from a
campfire not too far distant. But you see, so the
men were shouting, and the wind you see.
Speaker 6: Was born.
Speaker 13: He's mister Burns, so you see their voices were walked
in my direction. There were three men, sir, and they
were having I must say, a most profane fight. You
can imagine the language. And that's also I knew something
dreadful was going to happen, and I thought for a
moment I would intervene, but then I thought better of it,
and I didn't.
Speaker 6: And that's all that happened.
Speaker 4: Did you see any of them their faces?
Speaker 6: It was rather a dark night.
Speaker 13: If it's of any value, though I don't see how
it possibly can be. They had a station wagon park
next to the fire, and I think one of the men,
amidst the profanity.
Speaker 6: Called the other, yes, thank you very much, mister Burns.
Not to talk.
Speaker 13: I shall be holding a meeting on Saturday as usually,
just two miles out of Tulsa on route six to six.
Speaker 6: If you should want me, thank you. Mind closing the door.
Speaker 12: That's a great help.
Speaker 4: Somebody name of Ace, and there was a station leg.
Speaker 6: Maybe don't forget. It was a dark.
Speaker 12: Night, but the wind was blowing.
Speaker 3: A week goes by a week of feverish activity by
Nick Oliver on the murder story, and by you and
Nolan Bullock on the murder case, and on the bootleg syndica,
And when you add it all up, it's less than
the faint sound of the name.
Speaker 6: Ace on the night air. You keep spending time at.
Speaker 3: Headquarters waiting, hoping it lostly goes with it, and then.
Speaker 6: A routine message comes through on the police teleor.
Speaker 3: Type request owner Oklahoma license seven to one three nine
one truck stranded here? Answer soonest police Chief Indio, California,
and Nick Oliver puts through the routine requests in the
routine way license seven one three one name, Hey Nolan.
Speaker 6: Wake up?
Speaker 14: What's the matter?
Speaker 12: What did you say?
Speaker 6: Guess whose truck is stranded out in California?
Speaker 12: What are you talking about?
Speaker 6: That request we got from Indio?
Speaker 12: Oh? Yeah, sure?
Speaker 3: What about the owner of that car in California was
named Thomas Breeden.
Speaker 4: Reden, Well, that's my man, just California on the phone, and.
Speaker 3: You put me through to the police chief in Indio.
Would you think I was calling Nolan my bootlegger?
Speaker 4: Ss right?
Speaker 3: Chief fellow's name was Thomas Breeden. And we're interested in
him too. Tell me everything you've got. Oh, you jailed him.
Speaker 12: That's why I didn't meet me in the coop in California.
Speaker 6: Uh huh? Ol passo? Huh what do you know?
Speaker 12: What about ol passo? Hey?
Speaker 6: Nick?
Speaker 4: What about ol passo?
Speaker 6: You check with the FBI? Euh fine, fine, what is
this FBI?
Speaker 4: L passo?
Speaker 6: Nick? Chief, you've been very helpful. Is any time you're
in tells it? Yes? See if I'll do that. Say
how's the weather out there?
Speaker 4: Nick?
Speaker 6: Ninety two degrees? Huh? You don't say we got blizzard
weather here? It's so long, Jeeve?
Speaker 4: Hell, do you want me to slangle you?
Speaker 3: It seems your friend Tom Breeden was picked up about
a week ago by the.
Speaker 6: Police chief in India.
Speaker 3: He was driving a truck, went through a red light
and hit somebody.
Speaker 6: Wasn't serious.
Speaker 3: They put him in the coop for five days, took
his prints and all that. Chiefs said, he acted like
a man going to be sentence to the chair, nervous,
and so he checked on him in Washington. I don't know,
with some delay, I guess on the chiefs end in
checking the Prince with Washington, and he didn't get the
answer on Breden until after he was let out. Nick,
get to the point, Okay, when the report came through,
it seems Breeden is wanted by the federal authorities at
El Paso for entering the country illegally with close to
seventeen thousand dollars in Mexican coins.
Speaker 12: What's going?
Speaker 6: That's what the man said. When he last left California.
Speaker 3: He was seen driving in the station wagon with two men,
one named Bronson, one named Styles. The first name of
the fellow called Styles was Ace. What about Breeden, Well,
you see all on. The reason you never met Breden
is because his prints are the same as those of
the man we saw on the cut of US sixty
six awful Dead. What started out for you, Nolan Bullock,
reporter for the Pelt Tribune, as an undercover job as
a bootlegger, is now a murder story involving the FBI,
two indistinct figures named A Styles and somebody Bronson, and
seventeen thousand dollars in Mexican coins. You and Nick Oliver
know you aren't much nearer a solution, and you are
the time you stood and looked at the battered head
of Thomas Breeden. And so you decide to go back
to the will Rogers Hotel and clam aw. Maybe the
contact man of the syndic at the accountant knows something.
Speaker 4: Look, mister Richie, you said in a few days i'd
get an answer.
Speaker 11: Yes, I know, I know, but something has happened to
mister Breton. Could you use a good man in your organization.
I'm a fine accountant, I'm honest and I am accurate.
I was with mister Breton for few years. I tell
you I know the bootleg business.
Speaker 4: I'd like to help you, mister Richie, and maybe I
can if you put me in touch with whoather is
taking over now that mister Breeden.
Speaker 11: I think I have too, as soon as I know anything,
And you can use a good man in the urbanisation.
Speaker 12: Well we'll see all right. Now I'd better pay the
check and get going.
Speaker 10: Yes, well, I'll run on ahead. And see what I
can find out for you. You have no idea how
I am.
Speaker 12: That is where I pay the check.
Speaker 7: That's right, just a moment. I'm sorry. I nearly gave
you that phony coin.
Speaker 4: I be mean to put the side.
Speaker 12: Let me see that. Maybe that's a Mexican coin. Where
did you get it?
Speaker 7: Someone's been passed and then you grew up a cigar acount?
I got one, and I got this. When was this
this morning? Sometime we gave it to you. I really
notice some man, by the time I saw it wasn't
a real coin, had already gone out, ran out of
the front steps, and I saw and drive off he
and another man who was with it.
Speaker 4: Did you have to know what they drove up in?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 10: Just a car?
Speaker 12: Was it a station wagon?
Speaker 13: You mean one of those?
Speaker 4: Say now that you mention it, it's just what it was.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 7: I have to make that.
Speaker 4: Up out of my own pop. No, you don't, sister.
Here's a dollar to take its place. Let me have
that little Mexican phony, Nick, guess what happened?
Speaker 6: Come on, if you've got something, you.
Speaker 4: Remember that Mexican who showed up those three Mexicans.
Speaker 12: Blondes the Golden blondes.
Speaker 4: Well, I found a friend of theirs at the cashiers
and the restaurant, the will Rogers's Hotel.
Speaker 6: Meet it there and I make it half an hour.
Speaker 4: Nine oh seven is my room, Nick.
Speaker 10: Alone, mister Norton, this is mister Richie. I've got something
you'll find very exciting. You can meet the new boss.
Speaker 11: How you know the road off US sixty six stairs, Well,
go past the gas station at Ember Street. It's a
little dirt road, a little left off sixty six, A
left turn. You can't miss it. It runs down through the
Verdigree Valley. There's a big white house, green shutters. That's
two and a half miles down the road. All right, planks, Richie.
Now please don't say I told you to go there,
mister Naughton. The boss might not like it. His name
is Bronson, Okay, rich And I won't forget. When I
get a setup, i'll find.
Speaker 4: A place in it.
Speaker 10: Oh, thank you, mister Norton, Thank you very much.
Speaker 12: Now what to do?
Speaker 4: Nick?
Speaker 3: Oliver is on his way, can't be reached, and you
know how to find a new boss. It takes only
a moment to make up your mind. You turn left
at the gas station off sixty six. Take the road
to Verdigree Valley. You'll keep her in second as you
get down the incline and the road is wide enough
now for just one car. Now coming at you is
another dusty car and there isn't a room for both
of you to pass.
Speaker 6: You stop and then you see a station ladder. Not
much room.
Speaker 13: Eh, that's right, but looks like one of us is
going to have to back up.
Speaker 4: Say is your name Ace?
Speaker 6: What is it gonna be Mac?
Speaker 4: You or us?
Speaker 12: Who backs up?
Speaker 4: Well, I was supposed to meet up.
Speaker 13: I get better for you, Bud, and we're in a hurry, so.
Speaker 3: Your back her up, trying to get a look at
the license places, but the man in the car there's
too much dust on the road. And then finally when
you reach a point where you can back up off
the road, nothing pass. Something inside tells you we'll let go, villain.
Speaker 12: You better keep your head down as they go by.
Speaker 6: Duck and wait for it.
Speaker 10: But it doesn't come. There's no shot.
Speaker 3: And then you see them hitting forty fifty pruning away
from you before you can swing your car back on
the road and follow them, And it takes you an
hour and a half. It seems to reach the next
gas station just a quarter of a mile away before
you can call Nick.
Speaker 4: Nick or I saw them, at least I think I
saw them. I mean Styles and Bronson in the station
wagon out on a dirt road, all sixty six. No, no, no,
I checked that. There's a little gas station. That's where
I'm calling from. No station wagon came out from the canyon.
It must have turned off one of the side roads around,
many of them, I'm sure, yes, four or five men
to do the job.
Speaker 12: All right over.
Speaker 14: Here, shout it off, Mick. Yeah, over there, you'll see it.
That's the wagon.
Speaker 3: Very convenient, nice place for a headquarters. The house in
the valley, and the car. Oh mean, let's go slow. Yeah, sure,
this is the wagon chere on the shore. Let's see
what's in it. Hey, h put your light over here.
Speaker 12: What have you at?
Speaker 4: A gash in the back seat. It's a big boat,
you see it?
Speaker 6: Yes, I see it.
Speaker 4: Mexican blondes, quite a bunch of them.
Speaker 10: M nice.
Speaker 12: What what do you think this is?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Right here, My guess is blood and.
Speaker 4: This was a wrench.
Speaker 10: Might be what they did it with.
Speaker 4: It's heavy enough and it's got the same kind of
rust eyes. Well let's take him not so fast.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 3: Suppose they say they never met your friend Breeden, know
nothing about.
Speaker 6: Him, need proof?
Speaker 12: Just what do you have in mind?
Speaker 3: You know those guys pretty well, know their businessminger, the
way they operate. Can't you think of some way of
going in there doing a little fast talk about.
Speaker 6: Him by do?
Speaker 4: It's not a bad story, not bad at all.
Speaker 12: Good luck.
Speaker 4: Your name is the Styles, it is mister Styles. Oh
where's Bronson downstairs?
Speaker 6: Who are you?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 6: My name is Norton.
Speaker 4: Didn't you hear about me? I was supposed to make
arrangements with just the Breeden for the delivery of twenty
one cases of stock a week in.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, little Richie told me about you.
Speaker 6: Ain't you the fella?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: We met you on the road. What degree Valley? I
was sorry about that. We had to change our headquarters.
How'd you find it?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: I've got a lot of money invested in my business,
A little tracking down if somebody never bothered me?
Speaker 10: Okay, sit down.
Speaker 4: What don't you get for a case of domestic stock?
Speaker 8: Round?
Speaker 6: You're bout one hundred and seventy dollars.
Speaker 4: I'll take twelve cases a week if you're twenty dollars a.
Speaker 10: Case, all right, who are you kidding?
Speaker 6: Twenty dollars?
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm quite serious, you say. I happen to know
that I can get it at twenty dollars a case.
Speaker 5: Go on, peddle your papers somewhere else. The price is
one hundred and seventy.
Speaker 4: I happen to know that you and Bronson and my
friend Breeden were driving in from California. I happen to
know that you're going to do a fight with him,
And I happen to know that you stole seventeen thousand
dollarsand coins from him. And there are stains in the
car right out in the back, and the wrench with
stains on it, and I don't think they're rustain you Now.
Speaker 10: I'll take it easy, will you?
Speaker 4: Look, we can do business. Say I've got another idea.
Why does it have to be Norton and Styles and Bronson?
Why can't it just be Norton and Styles?
Speaker 10: What do you mean just you and me?
Speaker 12: Come Ona?
Speaker 4: Who did it the breeding? I mean, was it you
or maybe a friend downstairs? You know, if we come
to a deal, cutting something three ways is less than
cutting something in two yeah, that's just how it happened.
Speaker 5: He did it, Bronson. I didn't want to kill him.
I just wanted to make a deal. But that Bronson,
he's got a temple like.
Speaker 12: A wild man. Do you mean it? You and me?
Why not?
Speaker 4: Cops are looking for a four guy.
Speaker 10: Do you testify?
Speaker 4: I testify and it's Norton and Styles.
Speaker 10: I should have met you before and Style.
Speaker 6: Now I ain't that pretty. And the cops need a
fall guy. Second, Bronson, I.
Speaker 13: Was just yeah, maybe in set of a pall guy,
the cops will get a corpse, maybe two corps mister Bronson.
Speaker 6: Yeah that's right, mister Bronson. Oh do you think you
are coming in here making deals?
Speaker 12: Just a guy?
Speaker 4: Ain't just like you are to make a book.
Speaker 13: I'll look you shut up, two red sense, I'd knock
you right through the floor, your standing Norton and Stein.
Speaker 4: I look, mister Bronson, you can't do business that way.
It can't be done corpses, two corpses, knocking people to
the floor. All I want is the best possible deal
I can get.
Speaker 13: Where did you take this thing up from? You think
you can talk your way out of this. I heard
what you said. It was standing behind the door. I
don't know who you think you are or what makes
you so cocky.
Speaker 4: What makes me so cocky, as you put it, is
what's out in the back. What's supposed to be out
in the back in the car seventeen thousand in Mexican
coins like the ones found near Breeden, stains on the
floor of the car, and a wrench out there stains
on that too.
Speaker 13: Nobody saw no seventeen thousand dollars.
Speaker 10: There's no stains, no wrench.
Speaker 13: All I see is a wise guy who talks too
much by my money.
Speaker 6: I smell cop, amateur cop.
Speaker 11: Run around.
Speaker 13: Maybe you've already done enough thinking maybe you want to
turn around too, I said.
Speaker 4: Turn around, all right, all right, I was only he
was only looking for me.
Speaker 6: Let's stand where we are, right where we are?
Speaker 9: Hello, Nick, Oh, I know maybe we ought to make
it to you.
Speaker 6: That's right, both of you. Now, let's go. Oh Nolan,
mm hmmm, give you a tip shift, don't try to
move into bootleg, not in your line.
Speaker 4: That your style. You stick with the papers. Thanks, Nick,
I don't think I won't.
Speaker 2: We read you That telegram from Nolan Bullock of the Tots,
Oklahoma Tribune.
Speaker 4: Both men and to Night's Big Story, pleaded guilty the
second degree manslaughter, admitted killing Breden after he attacked them.
Both were sentenced ten years of hard labor at the
state penitentiary.
Speaker 15: A galistair Oblahoma, and so ends another Big Story.
Speaker 16: In order to protect the names of people actually involved
in the Night's authentic Big Story, the names of all
characters and the dramatization were changed, with the exception of
the newspaper reporter. M hmm, this is the United States
Armed Forces Radio Service, the Voice of Information and Education.
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, since we didn't get any discussion of
the cast at all, let's go ahead and do that. First.
Nolan was played by Bob Reddick, and then also in
the cast were Abby Lewis, Grant Richards, Mandel Kramer, and
Bill Smith. So we get two future Johnny Dawlers for
the price of one. Now, I think most criminal relationships
are somewhat toxic, but I don't think anything beats the
dynamic when the smart one and the hothead are the
same person. Is what we saw here. I mean that
other guy was still trying to make a deal even
as the police were breaking in. Now, in terms of
the facts of the case. The Story behind the Big
Story or Stories Behind the Big Story states that this
were about a mysterious slain of a man near Clinton.
That's what the basis of the story, Clinton, Oklahoma occurred
in nineteen forty seven, and a summary is to be
available soon, but no real details on the real life
who's in what's even though doctor Joe Webb says the
story has been found and in this case, I'm a
little bit curious about whether the whole detail about Nolan
actually being a government agent was invented because it sounds
like the type of stuff you hear in fiction, because
it would be exceedingly rare for a reporter to actually
directly work for the police department. But then again, there's
not a whole lot of history on Oklahoma police practices
that's readily available on the internet. Now. One thing they
did find is that he actually walked with a lamp
as a result of getting beaten up while posing as
a college student trying to obtain a story. And so
while I can't get into details about the case, it
is safe to say that Nolan Bullock was the type
of man who was not afraid to take very serious
risks in order to get a story well, listener comments
and feedback, and we have a comment on the poison
pen murders from Jeffrey who writes pretty wax laws. Then
how can a non policeman confiscate a pistol tool from
a person's room. Well, legally, you wouldn't think they would
be able to. And generally, when it comes to these
sort of details from the Big Story, it comes down
to one of two things. Number One, there were a
lot of wild days of reporters doing things that they
would not do and would not get away with today
because of lax or enforcement and print journalism as a
sort of frontier and other details were just invented by
the Big Story writers And unfortunately I can't say whitch
with that particular incident. Well, now it is time to think.
