Speaker 2 (00:08):
If you're a confidential investige there, and if you're smart, you'll.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Put yourself on a schedule. You'll get to the office
at nine and get out of it at five, leisurely
at dinner, and spend the rest of the evening with
a book you hope is work. That is, if you're smarting.
If you're mean, you get.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Restless, and around midnight you'll drop in at Willie's life.
You find Willie morosely staring at his coffee, and small
but not under privileged brunette with the heavy far into
the counters sobbing for a while moment you think it
may be Willy has wrong Little Nell. You then dismiss
(00:44):
such happy fancies. You try to ignore the brunettes who
keeps right on sobbing, and you make a brilliant opening remark,
what's new, Willie? Well?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
All right? All the hamburgers?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Not?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
No, I think guys should take a chance on one.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You got dependence.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
No, I'll make your hamburgers, thanks, if I have a
cup of coffee, parus, Why dead in your stomach? Name?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I've tasted your hamburgers before?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Well, I ain't improve since then?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Really? Eh? I know she didn't come with the place.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I've never seen her here before, and she's pretty, but
she have to make that noise.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
She is suffering from grief.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
She had the blue plate dinner here.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
According to what she tells me, she had a great loss.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
What does she lose? A bull fiddle? What a bull fiddle?
You know? I'm floated violins.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I know she plays a double bass or it's that
a Carnegie Hall for a bull fiddle? Oh yeah, yeah,
except nobody plays on a bull fiddle that she ain't got.
It would be harder anyway, come to think of it.
Losing one of those things is a little like misplacing
the Empire State.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Believe it was swiped off her and your hammer. Thanks,
mister Craig.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Maybe you can help Susie. She don't find out bull fiddles.
She's lable to be out a wink.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
She is the customs to eating, so I do not
think this will be.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Good for her, Susie. Command huh, I want you to
meet mister Craig. Oh hid, mister Craig, Hello, Susie.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Mister Craig ain't only a friend of mine. Susie is
also a confidential investigator.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Hey, you ought to tell him your trouble.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I only got one trouble.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You lost your double bass?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Uh huh, only the economy music.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I played the bull fiddle.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Where did you lose it? At the club?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The club?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
You're a part of the band that plays the club.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Uh, I pack solos. The customers like it because I'm
so small and bull fiddles so big, and besides, I'm
cheapers in the band, so they are.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Bull fiddle isn't the kind of a thing a man
could slip into his coat pocket. There can't be many
things harder to steal.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Whoever stn't mind him?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Worry about that? Or when did you miss it? Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
No, ago, I done my number, went out for a walk,
and when I got back.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
No bull fiddle, no bull soup. There must have been
people around the closed earlier.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
And I there wasn't anybody around when I got back
except Brinker.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Brinker. Who's Brinker?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Well he's almost as big as you are, but not
so cute.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well, i'd have trouble recognizing him from that.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Well he sort of a can't take and club bounce.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You know, I don't. I'm afraid I may find out though.
All right, So he let's close to the club. Maybe
I'll be able to come up with something that might
help guys drags the degree.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Hey wait a minute toime, I'm closing up. Anyways, I'll
tag along. Why oh I'm intrigued.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I would like to meet a character goes around swiping
bull fiddles.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I would also like to want him to lay off
the Brooklyn Bridge.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's fastened down, really closed up. And the three of
us piled into my car and we took off.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Eventually we arrived at the club.

Oh, we're a fibbling it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Hey, we gotta be chased un or something.
Speaker 2 (04:51):

come in handy later on. But now, uh, let's get
into the club. We're gonna lock the stage door after
the bullets staring.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Huh. Another one like that and I'll see to what
you're foster eat in your own lunch wagon.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Nobody could be that prove, so it's open. They had
no chance to lock him, just to work light on
over the dance floor.

Yeah, one large man lying down.
Speaker 4 (05:31):

We're surprised, But what are you gonna call about? Susie's
got a fiddle bank?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Sure she hasn't got the case though.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Is that something to get excited about?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
A bull fiddle case? I don't know. I hope not.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
You're worried about something.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
On Lead me to the phone, Susie. I want to
find a truck, maybe at the the empty club.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The shadows huddling in the unlooked corners and floor pale
and shining in the silence, to get the jumps in
my nerves whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It was they were jumping Lieutenan Rodgers Homicide. This is Barry.
Things are quiet down here at Homicide.

Let's go back and see if breaker has come too.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
What's wrong with you, mister drinker?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I got a headache, both heads. But this year ain't
my head.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
This year is a lump on my head.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
All you're a breaker man? Or what happened?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I was straightening up the police and all of a sudden,
I feel somebody bleeding down the back of my neck.
So I says, stop breathing down the back of my neck.
So he stops breathing down in the back of my
neck and he hits me on the head. I shouldn't
have told him to stop breathing down the back of
my neck.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Maybe not? Did just see what it was? I didn't
see nothing to nobody. Too bad, Susie. I'll take you home.
Uh well, are you coming along?
Speaker 3 (08:54):

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Breakare Can you lock it up somewhere? Yeah? Sure, one
of the back of.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
He's fine, let's go. Oh that's all mixed up. Someone
stole your fiddles.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You sure that, Susan.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I'm sure of him, mister Craig.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Then the fiddle was returned and the case was stolen.
I'll help in anybody got the answers?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, maybe I'm asking the right questions, but none of
the right people. Who'll keep trying.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
We dropped Susie.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Off at her apartment, swung around, and headed downtown again
a sudden before East Lake and the truck driver named.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Christopher alone, Maybe I ought to take you home? Will
he right?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
No hurry, but your wife that's why. No hurry.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
All right, she's your wife, don't Robert in. But I'm
perfectly willing to share the truck driver with you.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Hey, the guy's struck, ain't up front?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
No, no.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Name played over the doorbell. Yeah alone, Maybe he's a
hard statement. Yeah man, second loading boy, tonight there the
light spirits.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Hang at it? You know a guy could resent our
pardon in about this well.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
According to the police, Christopher Alone, who lives at seventy
four East Well, he's dead. Tramp came out with a
couple of the boys from homicide. They all stood around
and stared at the corpse at the late mister Malone.
He paid no attention corpses rarely due.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
We had had stopped. We'd seen him before they did,
so we left earlier.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Guys don't look good when they're shot full of bullets.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's little than recommended. It's a beauty.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He was the truck driver who drove away with Susie's
bull fidl case. Huh yeah, So what happened to his
truck in the case.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Why would anyone swipe a bull fiddle case without the
bull fiddle in it? Anyways, maybe he didn't know the
fiddle wasn't in the case, and he's sure gonna be
disappointed when he gets home and opens the case and
reaches for the.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Fiddle somehow, I don't think. So don't ask me why either,
I won't.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
You wouldn't answer.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Like if you was to ask me what goes into
Willie's Irish stoo, would I answer?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But this car ain't aimed at my house. Are yours?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
These of us lived down on River Street. It's bad
Malone's garage is on River Street.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Mmm.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Kind of light for visiting the guy's place of business,
except they won't be transacting business there tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
River Street pitched sharply to the Hudson alone. The Mercy
light picked out a warm sign swaying in a slight wind.
The sign read Christopher Malone licensed trucking Large garage doors
to shut, smaller door set in the panel of one
of them.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Was he locked? You couldn't look inside. It's been warmer
and Alaska. You know We've got to get in, he
figured the truck's insign.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
When we was back to Malone's apartment, why didn't just
wipe his keys off of him?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Because somebody else had already done?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
So, I mean comfort because whoever knocked off Malone is
probably a murderer.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Probably he is a murderer.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The question that the question is someone coming down the
street willie the stallway quick? Who was it too far
away yet?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Besides, it may be nobody connected with Malone.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Where makes shit?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Thinks I'm gonna be so lucky for the coffee.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I serve alone.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I deserve it.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's a brinker. Yeah, stopping at the garage, he's got
a king cops, big doors, come on, lights on inside
trucks there back of it, towards us.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Drink it must be up front. Come on, we're getting
into that truck.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Trups ain't very comfortable personally.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I would rather lay down the bed. One nice thing.
No window between the camp and the rest of the truck.
Bank here, so drink. I won't spot us learning some story.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But uh, what happens when he stops.
Speaker 1 (14:05):

I'll let you know when I find out.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Jump off the truck now or five seconds from now?
We stay on? The truck's hitting at least fifty We
jump now, we could get killed. We stay on, we
will get killed. I doubt it. Why no one could
have to get all three of us into that case.
(16:33):
We getting off directly slowing down. We may have a
chance to jump for cover when it stops. Okay, huh,
sounds like we're surrounded. We stayed sooner or later somebody's
gonna spot us back here, and then it'll be later.
Sh ah things brinker. If five is to Walsh, we

Be calling me, beeping, Willie.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Lots of guys in there, very sociable.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Not to mention the cases of liquor all over the place.
Looks like this would be a warehouse, but Bentley's cut.
It's kind of inconvenient. Must be fifty miles out of town.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Must be a reason why Bentley keeps his liquor out here.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
His doctor told him to stay away.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
From Winker, not other one like that.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
No hand in your head, you can't.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It's a patch to me.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Something can be done about that.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Mm nice contortions. You're going through Wye trying to get
a better look at the liquor cases. Imported stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, no customs.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Stamp on the smuggle unh Yeah, explains.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
The location of this place. The truck mister Walsh and friends.
He smugglers, I guess, and also Brinker, the delivery boy
huh the delivery boy right, But it doesn't explain is
why Brinker is bringing wash a bull fiddle case complete
with a recent corpse then.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Inside so signs of moo. Willie and I moved first
across the road from the truck and a clump of trees.
You said you had something special for me this trip, Rinker. Oh,
I really forgot, mister Welsh. What I got for you
is a bull fiddle in its case. You don't say
(19:19):
fanfy thinks I had to studying music movie. All I
know is you're supposed to keep it here for a while. Okay,
I don't have the boonies unloaded, but you let's up,
and I'd be a little happier if instead of a
bull fiddle, Susie was in that case. Unloaded the bull
fiddle case, loaded the liquor, and the truck went away.
(19:42):
Willie and I stuck it out for a while and
also went away.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
You know, mister Craig feet, I'm never gonna replace the wheel.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Maybe we'll got a hit soon.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
We better.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Also, we're in a hurry.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh where we go from here?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
If we ever get transportation sosis a part duty?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Are you think it's that nice?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Idea. Really Doosy's always a nice idea.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Oh oh my, mister Greig.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And will Mary come in? Uh course you Mary, I
was asleep. I thought you might be, but uh this
is important. Something's happened, Susie. How do you eventually get along?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Oh? We get along fine. He even wants me to
marry him.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Well, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I haven't been able to make up my mind. But
he's got so much money anyway, I'm not sure I
can trust him. A man who runs a night club,
What kind a husband.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Will you make?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I never thought about it.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
So Gordon, that's mister Bentley, said he was gonna sell
the club to prove he really loved me.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Did he sell it?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
He was supposed to this afternoon? Oh cash, Oh sure,
I don't think the man Gordon's selling the club too,
can write. Besides, they wouldn't want to have any records
on accunt of income taxes. So well, that's one of
the reasons I don't know if I should marry Gordon.
That's mister Bentley.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Have you seen Gordon? That's I mean Bentley today.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
No, my buffo stolen stuff, forgot all the bottom.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Besides that, we found the bull fiddle case.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Susie, you're a darling. Where is it?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's not important? What is important is uh? Why was
just the case stolen the second time?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Rush?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I don't know, Susie. Suppose I murder someone?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Why was you going to do such a terrible thing?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Well, just suppose I do.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I murder him in a nightclub. I got to hide
his body until I can dispose of it's safely.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Where can I hide it? Although, like me after you
all as a girl who plays a bull fiddle in
the club, which means there's a bull fiddle case around.
The man I killed wasn't a big man, so I
put him in my bullfield case. Right.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Well, it's a very nasty thing, but he didn't kill
any one.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Somebody did put the corpse in your fiddle case. The
corpse of who? Mister Gray Gordon Bentley? Oh yeah, we
better sit down. Oh oh that's terrible.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I'll never be able to use that case again.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Well I suppose not.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I'll never be.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Able to marry Gordon.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
It's mister Beverley either. You don't really care about that.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Do you do?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
You mean cause I never really loved him?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I mean because you already have all his money.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Hey, mister Craig, you're saying shit, It's what I'm saying.
She killed Bentley, oh for the cash she saw in
the club for only She's such a small girl.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
She had help, I believe nice some quiet that is
Brinker's help. Stop flapping her lips.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
You do those things, you breaker, and Susie killed Bentley.
Looks at the cash hit Bentley in the fiddle case.
You arranged for the late mister Malone to pick.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
It up and deliver it to Wall shot in the country.
You get around, Craig.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Thanks, But I spotted that case in the truck. So
while I took Susie home, you killed Malone closing that
road you thought you went on.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I'm thinking such Nancy thoughts about me, And I said
he was cute of Susie.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
The plan was simple. You delivered the case with Bentley
inside and asked Walsh to keep it. Susie went out
and planted the stolen bull fiddle story with Willie, And
as it happened with me, why tomorrow morning, Susie would
yell at the cops Bentley is missing. I remember the
bull fiddle. Brinker would remember Walsh and the country hideout.
(23:27):
The cops had grabbed walh the case, find the corpse in.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
It, and the Waltz would fry.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Thanks, Willy, I got a surprise for you.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
He's still gonna be that way, because after you two
jokers go away, you did some place a program goes
on my schedule.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Oh incident, we don't care who it is. Sure you care,
because before coming here, I phoned your friend Walsh and
I told him to look inside that fiddles Fair boys
were the pop gun brinker.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Okay, you should have dropped his drinker. Your arm would
feel a lot better.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
But chure up.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Maybe it'll be healed before they execute you. That wasn't
a nice thing to say, but then murderers aren't nice people.
I called the police and by the time they arrived,
Walsh was freetly gone for a long walk. The cops
could get him anyway. However, they took off the breaker
(24:27):
and Susie. I hate to ask, but something must have
tipped you off, Susie, did I didn't hear?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Sure you did. It was a pony story, Willie.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
We were supposed to think someone had put Bentley in
that fiddle case in the afternoon. Somebody did, sure, but
if they did, the poor fiddle would have been out
in the open. It had to be yes, Susie would
have noticed that, would have wondered who took it out.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
She would have checked, and if she'd been telling the truth,
she would have said the case was stolen, not the fiddot.
But the truth wasn't what Susie was dealing it. It
was murder.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Well, thanks for taking me home, And after all this time,
when I walk into that house where my wife is,
no doubt waiting up for me, and her eyes light on.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Me, it won't be joy, mister Craig, Or what would
it be?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Murder?
Barry Craig speaking.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
If you're a confidential investige there, and if you're smart, you'll.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Put yourself on a schedule. You'll get to the office
at nine and get out of it at five, leisurely
at dinner, and spend the rest of the evening with
a book you hope is work. That is, if you're smarting.
If you're mean, you get.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Restless, and around midnight you'll drop in at Willie's life.
You find Willie morosely staring at his coffee, and small
but not under privileged brunette with the heavy far into
the counters sobbing for a while moment you think it
may be Willy has wrong Little Nell. You then dismiss
(00:44):
such happy fancies. You try to ignore the brunettes who
keeps right on sobbing, and you make a brilliant opening remark,
what's new, Willie? Well?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
All right? All the hamburgers?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Not?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
No, I think guys should take a chance on one.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You got dependence.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
No, I'll make your hamburgers, thanks, if I have a
cup of coffee, parus, Why dead in your stomach? Name?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I've tasted your hamburgers before?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Well, I ain't improve since then?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Really? Eh? I know she didn't come with the place.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I've never seen her here before, and she's pretty, but
she have to make that noise.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
She is suffering from grief.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
She had the blue plate dinner here.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
According to what she tells me, she had a great loss.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
What does she lose? A bull fiddle? What a bull fiddle?
You know? I'm floated violins.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I know she plays a double bass or it's that
a Carnegie Hall for a bull fiddle? Oh yeah, yeah,
except nobody plays on a bull fiddle that she ain't got.
It would be harder anyway, come to think of it.
Losing one of those things is a little like misplacing
the Empire State.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Believe it was swiped off her and your hammer. Thanks,
mister Craig.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Maybe you can help Susie. She don't find out bull fiddles.
She's lable to be out a wink.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
She is the customs to eating, so I do not
think this will be.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Good for her, Susie. Command huh, I want you to
meet mister Craig. Oh hid, mister Craig, Hello, Susie.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Mister Craig ain't only a friend of mine. Susie is
also a confidential investigator.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Hey, you ought to tell him your trouble.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I only got one trouble.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You lost your double bass?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Uh huh, only the economy music.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I played the bull fiddle.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Where did you lose it? At the club?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
The club?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
You're a part of the band that plays the club.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Uh, I pack solos. The customers like it because I'm
so small and bull fiddles so big, and besides, I'm
cheapers in the band, so they are.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Bull fiddle isn't the kind of a thing a man
could slip into his coat pocket. There can't be many
things harder to steal.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Whoever stn't mind him?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Worry about that? Or when did you miss it? Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
No, ago, I done my number, went out for a walk,
and when I got back.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
No bull fiddle, no bull soup. There must have been
people around the closed earlier.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
And I there wasn't anybody around when I got back
except Brinker.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Brinker. Who's Brinker?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Well he's almost as big as you are, but not
so cute.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well, i'd have trouble recognizing him from that.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Well he sort of a can't take and club bounce.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You know, I don't. I'm afraid I may find out though.
All right, So he let's close to the club. Maybe
I'll be able to come up with something that might
help guys drags the degree.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Hey wait a minute toime, I'm closing up. Anyways, I'll
tag along. Why oh I'm intrigued.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I would like to meet a character goes around swiping
bull fiddles.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I would also like to want him to lay off
the Brooklyn Bridge.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's fastened down, really closed up. And the three of
us piled into my car and we took off.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Eventually we arrived at the club.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I had it. The bomb is done.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well, I get it, Keyedd, stay still, it's just down
the alley here, mister Craig. Probably anybody want to steal

Speaker 4 (04:33):

Speaker 1 (04:38):
That truck didn't care much whether it ran us down
or not. Back of it was open, And Susie, you
had a case with a bull fill Uh huh, it
was on the truck.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Oh, we're a fibbling it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Hey, we gotta be chased un or something.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Had too big a jump on us. I got the
license number though, four x three five four. Maybe it'll
come in handy later on. But now, uh, let's get
into the club. We're gonna lock the stage door after
the bullets staring.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Huh. Another one like that and I'll see to what
you're foster eat in your own lunch wagon.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Nobody could be that prove, so it's open. They had
no chance to lock him, just to work light on
over the dance floor.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
He's a crag.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, one large man lying down.
Speaker 4 (05:31):

Speaker 1 (06:32):
This may surprise you. The reason why I want a
phone is to make phone call.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
We're surprised, But what are you gonna call about? Susie's
got a fiddle bank?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Sure she hasn't got the case though.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Is that something to get excited about?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
A bull fiddle case? I don't know. I hope not.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
You're worried about something.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
On Lead me to the phone, Susie. I want to
find a truck, maybe at the the empty club.
Speaker 2 (06:58):

This year is a lump on my head.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
All you're a breaker man? Or what happened?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I was straightening up the police and all of a sudden,
I feel somebody bleeding down the back of my neck.
So I says, stop breathing down the back of my neck.
So he stops breathing down in the back of my
neck and he hits me on the head. I shouldn't
have told him to stop breathing down the back of
my neck.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Maybe not? Did just see what it was? I didn't
see nothing to nobody. Too bad, Susie. I'll take you home.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Then the fiddle was returned and the case was stolen.
I'll help in anybody got the answers?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, maybe I'm asking the right questions, but none of
the right people. Who'll keep trying.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
We dropped Susie.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Off at her apartment, swung around, and headed downtown again
a sudden before East Lake and the truck driver named.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Christopher alone, Maybe I ought to take you home? Will
he right?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
No hurry, but your wife that's why. No hurry.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
All right, she's your wife, don't Robert in. But I'm
perfectly willing to share the truck driver with you.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Hey, the guy's struck, ain't up front?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
No, no.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Name played over the doorbell. Yeah alone, Maybe he's a
hard statement. Yeah man, second loading boy, tonight there the
light spirits.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Hang at it? You know a guy could resent our
pardon in about this well.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
According to the police, Christopher Alone, who lives at seventy
four East Well, he's dead. Tramp came out with a
couple of the boys from homicide. They all stood around
and stared at the corpse at the late mister Malone.
He paid no attention corpses rarely due.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
We had had stopped. We'd seen him before they did,
so we left earlier.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Guys don't look good when they're shot full of bullets.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's little than recommended. It's a beauty.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He was the truck driver who drove away with Susie's
bull fidl case. Huh yeah, So what happened to his
truck in the case.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Why would anyone swipe a bull fiddle case without the
bull fiddle in it? Anyways, maybe he didn't know the
fiddle wasn't in the case, and he's sure gonna be
disappointed when he gets home and opens the case and
reaches for the.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Fiddle somehow, I don't think. So don't ask me why either,
I won't.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
You wouldn't answer.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Like if you was to ask me what goes into
Willie's Irish stoo, would I answer?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But this car ain't aimed at my house. Are yours?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
These of us lived down on River Street. It's bad
Malone's garage is on River Street.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Mmm.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Kind of light for visiting the guy's place of business,
except they won't be transacting business there tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
River Street pitched sharply to the Hudson alone. The Mercy
light picked out a warm sign swaying in a slight wind.
The sign read Christopher Malone licensed trucking Large garage doors
to shut, smaller door set in the panel of one
of them.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Was he locked? You couldn't look inside. It's been warmer
and Alaska. You know We've got to get in, he
figured the truck's insign.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
When we was back to Malone's apartment, why didn't just
wipe his keys off of him?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Because somebody else had already done?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
So, I mean comfort because whoever knocked off Malone is
probably a murderer.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Probably he is a murderer.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The question that the question is someone coming down the
street willie the stallway quick? Who was it too far
away yet?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Besides, it may be nobody connected with Malone.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Where makes shit?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Thinks I'm gonna be so lucky for the coffee.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I serve alone.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I deserve it.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's a brinker. Yeah, stopping at the garage, he's got
a king cops, big doors, come on, lights on inside
trucks there back of it, towards us.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Drink it must be up front. Come on, we're getting
into that truck.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Trups ain't very comfortable personally.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I would rather lay down the bed. One nice thing.
No window between the camp and the rest of the truck.
Bank here, so drink. I won't spot us learning some story.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But uh, what happens when he stops.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
We'll worry about that later. You got something better to
worry about now, Yeah, tell me some ipe.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Worry about it too.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Over to your left, h I want to both better
case stool world was.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
When we spotted I should worry about the case, tell
me about what's inside of it.

who he might be. He but did he'd be there?
That was a certains day. Yeah, a joker driving this
truck is head not a time. Come on, we'll try
to get that case open.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Hey, give me one good reason.
Speaker 1 (14:47):

willing to forget.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
That's what murderers was like, yeah, okay, we get the
case open and there was a SnapLock on it.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Hope we don't need a key. No, I ought open easy, Now, okay,

I'll let you know when I find out.

Jump off the truck now or five seconds from now?
We stay on? The truck's hitting at least fifty We

have to get all three of us into that case.
(16:33):
We getting off directly slowing down. We may have a
chance to jump for cover when it stops. Okay, huh,
sounds like we're surrounded. We stayed sooner or later somebody's
gonna spot us back here, and then it'll be later.
Sh ah things brinker. If five is to Walsh, we

Be calling me, beeping, Willie.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Lots of guys in there, very sociable.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Not to mention the cases of liquor all over the place.
Looks like this would be a warehouse, but Bentley's cut.
It's kind of inconvenient. Must be fifty miles out of town.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Must be a reason why Bentley keeps his liquor out here.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
His doctor told him to stay away.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
From Winker, not other one like that.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
No hand in your head, you can't.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
It's a patch to me.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Something can be done about that.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Mm nice contortions. You're going through Wye trying to get
a better look at the liquor cases. Imported stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, no customs.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Stamp on the smuggle unh Yeah, explains.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
The location of this place. The truck mister Walsh and friends.
He smugglers, I guess, and also Brinker, the delivery boy
huh the delivery boy right, But it doesn't explain is
why Brinker is bringing wash a bull fiddle case complete
with a recent corpse then.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Inside so signs of moo. Willie and I moved first
across the road from the truck and a clump of trees.
You said you had something special for me this trip, Rinker. Oh,
I really forgot, mister Welsh. What I got for you
is a bull fiddle in its case. You don't say
(19:19):
fanfy thinks I had to studying music movie. All I
know is you're supposed to keep it here for a while. Okay,
I don't have the boonies unloaded, but you let's up,
and I'd be a little happier if instead of a
bull fiddle, Susie was in that case. Unloaded the bull
fiddle case, loaded the liquor, and the truck went away.
(19:42):
Willie and I stuck it out for a while and
also went away.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
You know, mister Craig feet, I'm never gonna replace the wheel.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Maybe we'll got a hit soon.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
We better.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Also, we're in a hurry.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh where we go from here?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
If we ever get transportation sosis a part duty?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Are you think it's that nice?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Idea. Really Doosy's always a nice idea.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Oh oh my, mister Greig.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
And will Mary come in? Uh course you Mary, I
was asleep. I thought you might be, but uh this
is important. Something's happened, Susie. How do you eventually get along?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Oh? We get along fine. He even wants me to
marry him.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Well, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I haven't been able to make up my mind. But
he's got so much money anyway, I'm not sure I
can trust him. A man who runs a night club,
What kind a husband.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Will you make?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I never thought about it.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
So Gordon, that's mister Bentley, said he was gonna sell
the club to prove he really loved me.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Did he sell it?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
He was supposed to this afternoon? Oh cash, Oh sure,
I don't think the man Gordon's selling the club too,
can write. Besides, they wouldn't want to have any records
on accunt of income taxes. So well, that's one of
the reasons I don't know if I should marry Gordon.
That's mister Bentley.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Have you seen Gordon? That's I mean Bentley today.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
No, my buffo stolen stuff, forgot all the bottom.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Besides that, we found the bull fiddle case.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Susie, you're a darling. Where is it?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's not important? What is important is uh? Why was
just the case stolen the second time?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Rush?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I don't know, Susie. Suppose I murder someone?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Why was you going to do such a terrible thing?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Well, just suppose I do.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I murder him in a nightclub. I got to hide
his body until I can dispose of it's safely.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Where can I hide it? Although, like me after you
all as a girl who plays a bull fiddle in
the club, which means there's a bull fiddle case around.
The man I killed wasn't a big man, so I
put him in my bullfield case. Right.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Well, it's a very nasty thing, but he didn't kill
any one.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Somebody did put the corpse in your fiddle case. The
corpse of who? Mister Gray Gordon Bentley? Oh yeah, we
better sit down. Oh oh that's terrible.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I'll never be able to use that case again.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Well I suppose not.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I'll never be.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Able to marry Gordon.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
It's mister Beverley either. You don't really care about that.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Do you do?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
You mean cause I never really loved him?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I mean because you already have all his money.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Hey, mister Craig, you're saying shit, It's what I'm saying.
She killed Bentley, oh for the cash she saw in
the club for only She's such a small girl.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
She had help, I believe nice some quiet that is
Brinker's help. Stop flapping her lips.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
You do those things, you breaker, and Susie killed Bentley.
Looks at the cash hit Bentley in the fiddle case.
You arranged for the late mister Malone to pick.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
It up and deliver it to Wall shot in the country.
You get around, Craig.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Thanks, But I spotted that case in the truck. So
while I took Susie home, you killed Malone closing that
road you thought you went on.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I'm thinking such Nancy thoughts about me, And I said
he was cute of Susie.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
The plan was simple. You delivered the case with Bentley
inside and asked Walsh to keep it. Susie went out
and planted the stolen bull fiddle story with Willie, And
as it happened with me, why tomorrow morning, Susie would
yell at the cops Bentley is missing. I remember the
bull fiddle. Brinker would remember Walsh and the country hideout.
(23:27):
The cops had grabbed walh the case, find the corpse in.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
It, and the Waltz would fry.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Thanks, Willy, I got a surprise for you.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
He's still gonna be that way, because after you two
jokers go away, you did some place a program goes
on my schedule.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Oh incident, we don't care who it is. Sure you care,
because before coming here, I phoned your friend Walsh and
I told him to look inside that fiddles Fair boys
were the pop gun brinker.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Okay, you should have dropped his drinker. Your arm would
feel a lot better.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
But chure up.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Maybe it'll be healed before they execute you. That wasn't
a nice thing to say, but then murderers aren't nice people.
I called the police and by the time they arrived,
Walsh was freetly gone for a long walk. The cops
could get him anyway. However, they took off the breaker
(24:27):
and Susie. I hate to ask, but something must have
tipped you off, Susie, did I didn't hear?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Sure you did. It was a pony story, Willie.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
We were supposed to think someone had put Bentley in
that fiddle case in the afternoon. Somebody did, sure, but
if they did, the poor fiddle would have been out
in the open. It had to be yes, Susie would
have noticed that, would have wondered who took it out.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
She would have checked, and if she'd been telling the truth,
she would have said the case was stolen, not the fiddot.
But the truth wasn't what Susie was dealing it. It
was murder.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Well, thanks for taking me home, And after all this time,
when I walk into that house where my wife is,
no doubt waiting up for me, and her eyes light on.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Me, it won't be joy, mister Craig, Or what would
it be?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Murder?
