The Robson and Harmon Brewing Company, Bowers of Ireland, Aged Bear,
the Bear with a Bowel of quality in every glass
besigns Boston Blackie, starring Richard Commerce.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Well, Blackie, it's about time.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I'm sorry, Mary. I left the apartment without my wallet
and had to go back for it.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Have you No, I was afraid I'd have to wash
dishes if it didn't show up. All I have with
these fifteen cents.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
But you have you a smile that should pay for
the most expensive breakfast in town.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I tried it once.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Did it work? No?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
I did washing dishes.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
M Let's see. Let's good for breakfast on such a
cheerful morning.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Who's cheerful?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I am just because I promised to meet you for breakfast.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Oh Blackie, you're sweet?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Well, if you must, Mary, this is why I'm cheerful.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
What does it look like?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
A very lavender envelope with a.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Very lavender odor about it too?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Alright, alright?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Who is she? The return address on the envelope, says
Anne Martin, old flame of yours, not even an old ember.
She's the wife. Wanna show these old gangster pials Harry Martin.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Well, forgive my woman's curiosity. But why is she writing
lavender letters to you?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I don't know. I haven't opened it yet. Mind if
you do?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Oh mind, if you don't, excuse me, I will not.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You gonna read that aloud?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Maybe i'd better read it in a whisper.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
What does she say, M.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Dear Boston Blackis? I could have.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Guessed that much. But what does she want besides you?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Let's see? Uh, nothing important, Mary, just fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
It's very nice of you to answer my letter so soon, Blackie.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
I thought you would, but I didn't expect such a
lovely drive in the country too.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Your request this morning for fifty thousand dollars sort of
stifled me. Anne, I thought the country air would do
as good. I guess i'd better explain that's not a
bad idea.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I don't want you to give me fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
I'm talking about the money my husband put away before
he went to jail.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
You remember my husband, don't you, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Harry Sure he liked you, Blackie.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I thought he might have told you where he put that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Fifty thousand, which fifty thousand.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
The money he and the gang got in at Berkeley
City job. He died in prison last year, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yes, but I don't know what he did with the money.
And even if that money is found, the police have
a priority on it.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Well, you can't blame a girl for trying. I guess
we better go back to town. All right, what's in
the radio Saturday afternoon?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Turn it on and see?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
No, not that one. And that's my police radio two way?
At that? I'm sorry that's wits.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Then, right? What are you doing with a two way radio?
Playing policeman professionally?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Oh? This radio is no joke. I bought it myself
and it comes in handy in a case every now
and then.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
You're becoming a regular boy scout, aren't you.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I really never used thing except for laps when Faturday's
men are looking for me. Then I cut in and
answer them.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Back, policeman's little helper. Aren't you let me tell you
something right now, Boston Blackie.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
If I ever find Harry's money and you go to
the cops, I have friends who will take care of you.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Tell them not to bother Anne. I can take care
of myself.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Oh, loyal, boil, boil, boil boy, Mary?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Did that come out of you.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
We'll just wait like you till you read what happens
to the Hazards of Hannah.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You uh bring me the Sunday papers and then sit
over there and read them yourself. That's very nice of you.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I can't wait for Sunday. I like my drills in color.
Uh hey, you want me to read you the Hazards
of Hannah?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
No thanks, I'm not hept Hannah's Hazards ignorant. Not you.
Mm here's something not in the Funny papers that may
be a joker, just the same on page one, what
Jack Winters Bob talmug and it's the brown back in
town after spending several years at Uncle Sam's mansion up
(04:42):
the river.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
And who are Jack Winters and uh so forth?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Well, I don't think you know them socially, Merry. They
uh came from the far side of the wrong side
of the tracks.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Then how do you happen to know them?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I've been hopping back and forth over those tracks all
my life. They were pals of Harry Martin's.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And oh, it's Harry Martin.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Before he died in jail last day was Anne Martin's husband.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Ooh oh, and Anne Martin is the girl you saw
yesterday who wanted you to tell her where her husband
hit his fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yes, And it's just possible that there's a connection between
Anne Martin wanting to find out where her husband's money
is hidden and the release of Harry's old pals. Oh well,
Harry Martin was pretty smart guy. Undoubtedly told just one
of the three where he hid the fifty thousand, and
I think and his wife knows he did too. Why
(05:31):
do you think that Anne found out her husband's old
pals were going to be released from prison and knew
that as soon as they got to town, whichever one
knew where the money was would go and get it.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Oh, I see.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So she thought that maybe through you she could get
to the money before the others got out of jail.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Huh, that's what it looks like to me. That's an angle. Anyhow,
read your funnies. I'll be back soon. Where are you
going to see Anne again? Got this new angle?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Anne Martin again?
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
You stay away from her, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You get a kick out of the hazards of Hannah,
don't you. Well, I'm getting interested in the angles of an.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Out.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
What are you thinking about Esther.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Hm, it's good to be out of jail, Jack, eating
real food, breathing real air.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Good, it's gonna be perfect.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Maybe, say, I wonder where Bob is.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
I don know.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Where'd you go? Esther?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
None of your business?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
You were gone a long time?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
What's that to you?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I guess I wasn't gone as long as you think.
I came back for a few minutes and you were out.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Where were you out?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Doing a little asking around about what your business is?
Your business? My business is mine. Let's keep it that way, Yesther.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Maybe we better huh yeah, Jack, Look, oh look, just
walking down the street. Where crossing this way, going toward
the alley.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Hey, that guy looks familiar.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah, wow, it's Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
What's he doing down in this neighborhood?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
We better find out her.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Leave the waitress a buck that stuck out the sideway
and meet him in the alley.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Okay, let's go.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I've been wanting to meet that guy down here in
my territory for a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He yes, they're easy.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Here he comes.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
The easy is to don't do anything you'd be sorry for.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Shut up, Hello, Blackie, Well that's the Brian.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I just read about you are getting out of jail.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
No rich here gunn blanking.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
There are two of us and Jack winners. How on
fancy meeting you here?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
What are you doing down here, Blackie?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Oh? Just looking around at trouble. Maybe you know I
don't have to look for trouble, Jack, trouble comes to me.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Nothing? Have you been up to see Anne Martin?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yet?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
No?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Why should we?
Speaker 5 (08:05):
He knows why we might as so that means he
knows too much.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
No, not yet, But I'm going up to see Anne
and find out what there is to know.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I don't think you ought to.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I didn't ask for your advice.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
And maybe we ought to a fixture, so you won't
need it.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You swing fast, Jack, but not hard enough. Oh, Jack
won't wake up for a while.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I seem to have a lullaby left hand. And now
I think I can go and see Anne with that
interference and.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
And hope it up.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Hello Anna, para.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Day, Hello Blacky, old pound, come in.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Thanks Bat And now wait a minute, what's the gag?
Is there a body in there? Why don't you come
in and see what? And I have to go through
a long routine to get away from your own or
so long time?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
All right, thank you, Stay where you are. It's that
man again with that gun again. And it's you again
with a body again. Get in here, and you better
make up your story. You're gonna need a good.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
One, hopefully quiet in here, Faraday? Is this a murder scene?
How could it be? With no photographers, fingerprint men or
the coroner. They're gone? And where's the body?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's gone too. I've missed all the fun, haven't I?
How was she killed? How did you know it was
a she has she lived in, didn't she? I found
bodies in your apartment that weren't yours?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Good point, Inspector. One of these days maybe it will
be my body. Then what are you gonna do to
keep your job on the force. I'll worry about that
happy day when it comes. Faraday, Are you really putting
your gun away? Yeah? What about it? Don't tell me
you're going to admit that sometime somewhere there's a murder
I didn't commit. You.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Listen to me, Peggie. I put my gun away because
just once I want to see what kind of a
man you are. My gun seems to make you want
to try to get away, try and speak, all right?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
When I pull my gun on you, you always escape.
Or maybe this time with my gun put away, we
can talk this thing out.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
No tricks. I hate to spoil your fun, Inspector, but
this is one time I have no intention of running
from you. Yeah. Why, Oh, I'm just tired of it.
What happens when I duck you? I not only have
to avoid every comp and town, but I have to
solve the case for you, to clear myself. No, that's
too much trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Well, at last you're coming to your senses.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
What are you coming to Parley? The reason you killed
Ann Martin? Did you find it out all by yourself? Oh,
it didn't take much to find out. You saw Anne
Martin yesterday afternoon. The whole neighborhood was talking about that carriers.
What should I have done to pick Anne Martin up?
Driven down in a coal truck? Then you admit you
saw yesterday afternoon? I admit Faraday, yesterday afternoon from two
(11:03):
o'clock until about five thirty. All right, that's fine. It
comes under the heading of so what in my book
she was alive?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Then we've already established a time of death between the
hours of eight pm and twelve midnight Saturday.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Then I suppose if I tell you exactly what I
was doing in that time, you will let me go
and the fun will be over. Oh no, Reggie, you.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Don't get out of this, not even with a perfect alibi.
Ten witnesses and thirty seven af A.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
David's right, but you so I'm convincing. But I'm sorry, Faraday.
I didn't kill Anne Martin. Who did? I don't know.
But give me twenty four hours this side of the bars,
and I'll not only get your killer for you, but
the fifty thousand dollars Harry Martin stole before he went
to jail. You are still looking for it. I happen
to know that. What's the gag? Leggie, gag?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
What's the idea of asking for twenty four hours? You
usually take it only when you have a gun on me. Okay, Bleggie,
get out of here. But I'm holding you to those
twenty four hours. You won't get one minute more. I
beat it before I changed my mind.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
You mean you don't think I could get away from
you if I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Now I'm letting you go now. If you'd made one
false move while we were talking. I'd have shut you
in your tracks, now get out of here.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You would have shot me. Huh oh, Fara Day. Catch
whatever it is. I don't want it. I think you
can use it. Fara Day, it's a gun.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
And Anne Martin, wife of a dead gangster, arranged a
meeting with Blackie to find out from him if he
knew the whereabouts of fifty thousand dollars hidden by her husband,
Harry before he went to prison.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Blackie didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Next day, Blackie noticed in the newspaper that Harry Martin's
gangster pals had just been released from jail and realized
that Anne Martin came to him for information about the
missing money in hopes that she could get it before
Harry's old friends. Following this lead, Blackie went to Ann
Martin's apartment to be informed by Inspector Faraday that she
had been murdered. And Faraday gave Blackey twenty four hours
(13:08):
to clear himself of implication in Anne Martin's death. And
as we return to our story, it's early the next
morning and Faraday has been chasing Blackie in a police car.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Blackie inspect a Faraday's car just turned the corner.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Find guy at Faraday. He promises to lead be alone
for twenty four hours, and I have to waste half
that time hiding from him in doorways. We better move
mary and want him back.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
That's right, Where are we going?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You're going home. I'm gonna follow that lead we got
from Shorty.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
You think you wanna go down in that neighborhood alone.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I'd rather go down there alone and have people stare
at me, then for us to go down there together
and have people whistle at you.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Well, I'm the one that should mind.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
The trouble with you is you don't mind. You turn
around and say thank you.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's part of a woman's job to make yourself attracted
to that job.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
And I get it. They whistle while you work. Alright,
you go home and be a nice little girl while
I run back down to the river front and pretend
I'm a bad little boy.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
How's it, George, Jackie worrying a bullet bob?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's okay, I tell you, Jack, you shouldn't have swung.
I'm Blacky like that. He can give us trouble. Oh boy,
oh yesterday.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Okay, Now that I'm here, let's get down to business.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Well, don't mind me, I uh, I wanna hear this?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Hum?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Blackie, Well, Bob talmanch and Jack winners too. Isn't this cozy?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
What do you want?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You remember Harry Martin? Don't chester sure?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
But so what? He died in jail a year ago.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
But he had a wife, you know, a friend, Anne Martin.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Maybe that's what killed him.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Then what killed his wife?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Grief? Probably? Maybe she's a late mourner.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Anne Rttin's dead as of last night, Jack, She'll get
used to it after a while. Now, which one of
you killed her?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Ain't any of us seen an Martin since we got back?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I doubt that, But I'm gonna give all three of
you a break. Anne Martin was killed Saturday night between
the hours of eight pm and midnight. Now, let's have
your alibis, all right, Jack? Where were you Saturday night?
Between the hours of eight pm and midnight?
Speaker 5 (15:24):
They went to Westfield and see some friends, Bud Thomas
and his wife.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
They weren't home, so I come back. Very convenient of them. Alright,
youre Wesley? Where were you?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I was up at a hundred and ninety first Street
in the Park doing what ducking squirrels. I was there
at nine. It takes a long time to get back
and forth. A horse ran away just about the time
I got there.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
That's easily checked. How about you, Bob? I was at
the movies at eighty six in River Road. What was
showing the double feature? The Call of African? Believed me not?
There was a newsreel in the cartoon. What was in
the news reel had the usual stuff for launchings and
news styles, and had some now adventions, some pictures of
the president.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
You got our alibis We weren't near end when she
got killed. Now beat it, will you?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Sure? I'll beat it that. There'll be a murder rap
against one of you for killing Anne Martin, and you
will have to beat that.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Thank you, thank you very much. Goodbye.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Well that's the last of the phone calls, Blackie. Bob
Talmage's alibi is solid too.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
The movie theater said they showed a double feature and
a newsreel last night.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Well, all three of our suspects seemed to be in
the clear.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Don't they, Blackie?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Is this gonna be one of those murders where you
almost begin to think you did it?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
No, Mary, I think I know who killed Anne Martin?
What but I promised Paraday the fifty thousand dollars too,
and the killer has to lead me to the money.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Well, what are you doing in my office, Blankie? If
you come to admit you're kill Dan Martin.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
No inspects, Paraday, I wouldn't make you that happy.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well, two hours from now, I'm gonna make myself happy.
I'm gonna lock you up.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Ha ha. You're a regular clock watcher, aren't you, Paraday.
No wonder you never accomplish anything. Why you could be
on the pot, on the trail of a killer and
quit at the five o'clock whistle.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I'm quitting on you at the end of twenty four hours.
That's all I promised you, and you got just two
hours left.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I came down here to ask for more time, Paraday.
Nothing doing? Oh but plenty's doing. I know you're killer.
Why do you need more time? Well, I I want
to get that fifty thousand dollars for you too.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Two hours is all you get, and if you don't
have this thing solved by that time, you'll get the
rest of your life.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Who is it, Bosston Black?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Oh for the bloody man?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Jack? Okay? I don't know where we have any truck
with this bomuster.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Shut up, Bob, come in, thanks. Now what do you want, Blackie?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I wanna make a deal.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
What do y'all mean to you?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
One of you knows where Harry Martin hit his money?
Whoever knows that is the one who killed Anne too.
Now I know who that is. I'd like to share
that fifty thousand. I like to share of it to
keep my mouth shut.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Oh well, now, ain't that nice?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Isn't worth it to the killer to spend twenty five thousand?
Go free? And uh, just so there won't be any
double crossing. I'll meet Anne's killer at the old mill
on Mill Creek Road at eleven o'clock tonight. Then at
the killer will lead me to Harry Martin's fifty thousand.
I'll take half the money and forget the whole thing.
(19:00):
I hope Anne's killer is smart enough to tell time.
I set eleven o'clock, and I don't like to wait
even for twenty five thousand bucks.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Well do we have to sit here and stare at
each other? He may not know anything.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, yeah, sure, that's what I think he's bluffing.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Look all we gotta do is stick together, and he
won't be able to do anything to any of us,
that is, if one of us did kill Anne Martin.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Hey, uh, I just remembered. They gotta go meet some fellas.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Funny time to remember, Jack.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
I'll see you in it.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It's a lot, eh, what them is? It is?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Then nine o'clock. M Oh, that reminds me, Hey, where
you going? I got an appointment too?
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Well, it ain't that pretty all of us a sudden
everybody has to go someplace.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I won't be going long.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Uh, stick to kid as she said, didn't wait two
minutes before they leave me?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Stuck blacky here I am.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
It's just eleven o'clock. You're perfect.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, some things.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I suppose you think that because you're here. I'll say
you killed Anne Martin.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
You said you'd meet your killer here.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And you'd like to meet him too, wouldn't you ask? Then?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Sure, wouldn't you? I wanna know where that dough is?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Maybe this is your answer? Coming up the path. It's Jack.

set and heard every word you said. The money is
buried in the Alton Cemetery.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Pretty smart, aren't you, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I'll take that compliment slowly, Esla, but I think i'd
better take you down a headquarters in a hurry. My
twenty four hours are more than up. And Faraday's the
fretful type. Oh Mary, it's about time, Sorry, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I missed my buss and another one didn't come along

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Have you ordered you? No?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I was afraid i'd have to wash dishes if you
didn't show up. All I have here is fifteen cents.
Oh that makes you happy?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Oh no, no, this is what makes me happy.
Speaker 3 (25:00):

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Nothing much? Just a hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
A hundred dollars is not awful. What kind of man
do you know writing it for money? Oh?
Speaker 5 (25:23):
He's not a bad sort, not bad he's criminal.
Speaker 3 (25:27):

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I'm sorry, Mary. I left the apartment without my wallet
and had to go back for it.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Have you No, I was afraid I'd have to wash
dishes if it didn't show up. All I have with
these fifteen cents.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
But you have you a smile that should pay for
the most expensive breakfast in town.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I tried it once.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Did it work? No?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
I did washing dishes.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
M Let's see. Let's good for breakfast on such a
cheerful morning.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Who's cheerful?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I am just because I promised to meet you for breakfast.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Oh Blackie, you're sweet?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Well, if you must, Mary, this is why I'm cheerful.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
What does it look like?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
A very lavender envelope with a.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Very lavender odor about it too?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Alright, alright?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Who is she? The return address on the envelope, says
Anne Martin, old flame of yours, not even an old ember.
She's the wife. Wanna show these old gangster pials Harry Martin.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Well, forgive my woman's curiosity. But why is she writing
lavender letters to you?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I don't know. I haven't opened it yet. Mind if
you do?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Oh mind, if you don't, excuse me, I will not.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You gonna read that aloud?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Maybe i'd better read it in a whisper.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
What does she say, M.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Dear Boston Blackis? I could have.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Guessed that much. But what does she want besides you?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Let's see? Uh, nothing important, Mary, just fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
It's very nice of you to answer my letter so soon, Blackie.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
I thought you would, but I didn't expect such a
lovely drive in the country too.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Your request this morning for fifty thousand dollars sort of
stifled me. Anne, I thought the country air would do
as good. I guess i'd better explain that's not a
bad idea.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I don't want you to give me fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
I'm talking about the money my husband put away before
he went to jail.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
You remember my husband, don't you, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Harry Sure he liked you, Blackie.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I thought he might have told you where he put that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Fifty thousand, which fifty thousand.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
The money he and the gang got in at Berkeley
City job. He died in prison last year, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yes, but I don't know what he did with the money.
And even if that money is found, the police have
a priority on it.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Well, you can't blame a girl for trying. I guess
we better go back to town. All right, what's in
the radio Saturday afternoon?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Turn it on and see?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
No, not that one. And that's my police radio two way?
At that? I'm sorry that's wits.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Then, right? What are you doing with a two way radio?
Playing policeman professionally?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Oh? This radio is no joke. I bought it myself
and it comes in handy in a case every now
and then.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
You're becoming a regular boy scout, aren't you.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I really never used thing except for laps when Faturday's
men are looking for me. Then I cut in and
answer them.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Back, policeman's little helper. Aren't you let me tell you
something right now, Boston Blackie.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
If I ever find Harry's money and you go to
the cops, I have friends who will take care of you.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Tell them not to bother Anne. I can take care
of myself.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Oh, loyal, boil, boil, boil boy, Mary?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Did that come out of you.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
We'll just wait like you till you read what happens
to the Hazards of Hannah.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You uh bring me the Sunday papers and then sit
over there and read them yourself. That's very nice of you.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I can't wait for Sunday. I like my drills in color.
Uh hey, you want me to read you the Hazards
of Hannah?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
No thanks, I'm not hept Hannah's Hazards ignorant. Not you.
Mm here's something not in the Funny papers that may
be a joker, just the same on page one, what
Jack Winters Bob talmug and it's the brown back in
town after spending several years at Uncle Sam's mansion up
(04:42):
the river.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
And who are Jack Winters and uh so forth?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Well, I don't think you know them socially, Merry. They
uh came from the far side of the wrong side
of the tracks.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Then how do you happen to know them?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I've been hopping back and forth over those tracks all
my life. They were pals of Harry Martin's.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And oh, it's Harry Martin.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Before he died in jail last day was Anne Martin's husband.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Ooh oh, and Anne Martin is the girl you saw
yesterday who wanted you to tell her where her husband
hit his fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yes, And it's just possible that there's a connection between
Anne Martin wanting to find out where her husband's money
is hidden and the release of Harry's old pals. Oh well,
Harry Martin was pretty smart guy. Undoubtedly told just one
of the three where he hid the fifty thousand, and
I think and his wife knows he did too. Why
(05:31):
do you think that Anne found out her husband's old
pals were going to be released from prison and knew
that as soon as they got to town, whichever one
knew where the money was would go and get it.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Oh, I see.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So she thought that maybe through you she could get
to the money before the others got out of jail.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Huh, that's what it looks like to me. That's an angle. Anyhow,
read your funnies. I'll be back soon. Where are you
going to see Anne again? Got this new angle?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Anne Martin again?
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
You stay away from her, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You get a kick out of the hazards of Hannah,
don't you. Well, I'm getting interested in the angles of an.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Out.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
What are you thinking about Esther.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Hm, it's good to be out of jail, Jack, eating
real food, breathing real air.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Good, it's gonna be perfect.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Maybe, say, I wonder where Bob is.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
I don know.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Where'd you go? Esther?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
None of your business?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
You were gone a long time?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
What's that to you?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I guess I wasn't gone as long as you think.
I came back for a few minutes and you were out.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Where were you out?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Doing a little asking around about what your business is?
Your business? My business is mine. Let's keep it that way, Yesther.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Maybe we better huh yeah, Jack, Look, oh look, just
walking down the street. Where crossing this way, going toward
the alley.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Hey, that guy looks familiar.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah, wow, it's Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
What's he doing down in this neighborhood?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
We better find out her.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Leave the waitress a buck that stuck out the sideway
and meet him in the alley.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Okay, let's go.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I've been wanting to meet that guy down here in
my territory for a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He yes, they're easy.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Here he comes.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
The easy is to don't do anything you'd be sorry for.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Shut up, Hello, Blackie, Well that's the Brian.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I just read about you are getting out of jail.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
No rich here gunn blanking.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
There are two of us and Jack winners. How on
fancy meeting you here?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
What are you doing down here, Blackie?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Oh? Just looking around at trouble. Maybe you know I
don't have to look for trouble, Jack, trouble comes to me.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Nothing? Have you been up to see Anne Martin?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yet?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
No?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Why should we?
Speaker 5 (08:05):
He knows why we might as so that means he
knows too much.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
No, not yet, But I'm going up to see Anne
and find out what there is to know.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I don't think you ought to.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I didn't ask for your advice.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
And maybe we ought to a fixture, so you won't
need it.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You swing fast, Jack, but not hard enough. Oh, Jack
won't wake up for a while.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I seem to have a lullaby left hand. And now
I think I can go and see Anne with that
interference and.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
And hope it up.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Hello Anna, para.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Day, Hello Blacky, old pound, come in.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Thanks Bat And now wait a minute, what's the gag?
Is there a body in there? Why don't you come
in and see what? And I have to go through
a long routine to get away from your own or
so long time?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
All right, thank you, Stay where you are. It's that
man again with that gun again. And it's you again
with a body again. Get in here, and you better
make up your story. You're gonna need a good.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
One, hopefully quiet in here, Faraday? Is this a murder scene?
How could it be? With no photographers, fingerprint men or
the coroner. They're gone? And where's the body?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's gone too. I've missed all the fun, haven't I?
How was she killed? How did you know it was
a she has she lived in, didn't she? I found
bodies in your apartment that weren't yours?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Good point, Inspector. One of these days maybe it will
be my body. Then what are you gonna do to
keep your job on the force. I'll worry about that
happy day when it comes. Faraday, Are you really putting
your gun away? Yeah? What about it? Don't tell me
you're going to admit that sometime somewhere there's a murder
I didn't commit. You.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Listen to me, Peggie. I put my gun away because
just once I want to see what kind of a
man you are. My gun seems to make you want
to try to get away, try and speak, all right?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
When I pull my gun on you, you always escape.
Or maybe this time with my gun put away, we
can talk this thing out.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
No tricks. I hate to spoil your fun, Inspector, but
this is one time I have no intention of running
from you. Yeah. Why, Oh, I'm just tired of it.
What happens when I duck you? I not only have
to avoid every comp and town, but I have to
solve the case for you, to clear myself. No, that's
too much trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Well, at last you're coming to your senses.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
What are you coming to Parley? The reason you killed
Ann Martin? Did you find it out all by yourself? Oh,
it didn't take much to find out. You saw Anne
Martin yesterday afternoon. The whole neighborhood was talking about that carriers.
What should I have done to pick Anne Martin up?
Driven down in a coal truck? Then you admit you
saw yesterday afternoon? I admit Faraday, yesterday afternoon from two
(11:03):
o'clock until about five thirty. All right, that's fine. It
comes under the heading of so what in my book
she was alive?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Then we've already established a time of death between the
hours of eight pm and twelve midnight Saturday.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Then I suppose if I tell you exactly what I
was doing in that time, you will let me go
and the fun will be over. Oh no, Reggie, you.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Don't get out of this, not even with a perfect alibi.
Ten witnesses and thirty seven af A.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
David's right, but you so I'm convincing. But I'm sorry, Faraday.
I didn't kill Anne Martin. Who did? I don't know.
But give me twenty four hours this side of the bars,
and I'll not only get your killer for you, but
the fifty thousand dollars Harry Martin stole before he went
to jail. You are still looking for it. I happen
to know that. What's the gag? Leggie, gag?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
What's the idea of asking for twenty four hours? You
usually take it only when you have a gun on me. Okay, Bleggie,
get out of here. But I'm holding you to those
twenty four hours. You won't get one minute more. I
beat it before I changed my mind.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
You mean you don't think I could get away from
you if I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Now I'm letting you go now. If you'd made one
false move while we were talking. I'd have shut you
in your tracks, now get out of here.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You would have shot me. Huh oh, Fara Day. Catch
whatever it is. I don't want it. I think you
can use it. Fara Day, it's a gun.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
And Anne Martin, wife of a dead gangster, arranged a
meeting with Blackie to find out from him if he
knew the whereabouts of fifty thousand dollars hidden by her husband,
Harry before he went to prison.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Blackie didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Next day, Blackie noticed in the newspaper that Harry Martin's
gangster pals had just been released from jail and realized
that Anne Martin came to him for information about the
missing money in hopes that she could get it before
Harry's old friends. Following this lead, Blackie went to Ann
Martin's apartment to be informed by Inspector Faraday that she
had been murdered. And Faraday gave Blackey twenty four hours
(13:08):
to clear himself of implication in Anne Martin's death. And
as we return to our story, it's early the next
morning and Faraday has been chasing Blackie in a police car.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Blackie inspect a Faraday's car just turned the corner.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Find guy at Faraday. He promises to lead be alone
for twenty four hours, and I have to waste half
that time hiding from him in doorways. We better move
mary and want him back.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
That's right, Where are we going?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You're going home. I'm gonna follow that lead we got
from Shorty.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
You think you wanna go down in that neighborhood alone.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I'd rather go down there alone and have people stare
at me, then for us to go down there together
and have people whistle at you.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Well, I'm the one that should mind.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
The trouble with you is you don't mind. You turn
around and say thank you.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's part of a woman's job to make yourself attracted
to that job.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
And I get it. They whistle while you work. Alright,
you go home and be a nice little girl while
I run back down to the river front and pretend
I'm a bad little boy.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
How's it, George, Jackie worrying a bullet bob?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's okay, I tell you, Jack, you shouldn't have swung.
I'm Blacky like that. He can give us trouble. Oh boy,
oh yesterday.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Okay, Now that I'm here, let's get down to business.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Well, don't mind me, I uh, I wanna hear this?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Hum?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Blackie, Well, Bob talmanch and Jack winners too. Isn't this cozy?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
What do you want?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You remember Harry Martin? Don't chester sure?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
But so what? He died in jail a year ago.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
But he had a wife, you know, a friend, Anne Martin.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Maybe that's what killed him.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Then what killed his wife?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Grief? Probably? Maybe she's a late mourner.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Anne Rttin's dead as of last night, Jack, She'll get
used to it after a while. Now, which one of
you killed her?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Ain't any of us seen an Martin since we got back?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I doubt that, But I'm gonna give all three of
you a break. Anne Martin was killed Saturday night between
the hours of eight pm and midnight. Now, let's have
your alibis, all right, Jack? Where were you Saturday night?
Between the hours of eight pm and midnight?
Speaker 5 (15:24):
They went to Westfield and see some friends, Bud Thomas
and his wife.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
They weren't home, so I come back. Very convenient of them. Alright,
youre Wesley? Where were you?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I was up at a hundred and ninety first Street
in the Park doing what ducking squirrels. I was there
at nine. It takes a long time to get back
and forth. A horse ran away just about the time
I got there.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
That's easily checked. How about you, Bob? I was at
the movies at eighty six in River Road. What was
showing the double feature? The Call of African? Believed me not?
There was a newsreel in the cartoon. What was in
the news reel had the usual stuff for launchings and
news styles, and had some now adventions, some pictures of
the president.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
You got our alibis We weren't near end when she
got killed. Now beat it, will you?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Sure? I'll beat it that. There'll be a murder rap
against one of you for killing Anne Martin, and you
will have to beat that.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Thank you, thank you very much. Goodbye.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Well that's the last of the phone calls, Blackie. Bob
Talmage's alibi is solid too.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
The movie theater said they showed a double feature and
a newsreel last night.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Well, all three of our suspects seemed to be in
the clear.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Don't they, Blackie?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Is this gonna be one of those murders where you
almost begin to think you did it?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
No, Mary, I think I know who killed Anne Martin?
What but I promised Paraday the fifty thousand dollars too,
and the killer has to lead me to the money.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Well, what are you doing in my office, Blankie? If
you come to admit you're kill Dan Martin.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
No inspects, Paraday, I wouldn't make you that happy.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well, two hours from now, I'm gonna make myself happy.
I'm gonna lock you up.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Ha ha. You're a regular clock watcher, aren't you, Paraday.
No wonder you never accomplish anything. Why you could be
on the pot, on the trail of a killer and
quit at the five o'clock whistle.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I'm quitting on you at the end of twenty four hours.
That's all I promised you, and you got just two
hours left.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I came down here to ask for more time, Paraday.
Nothing doing? Oh but plenty's doing. I know you're killer.
Why do you need more time? Well, I I want
to get that fifty thousand dollars for you too.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Two hours is all you get, and if you don't
have this thing solved by that time, you'll get the
rest of your life.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Who is it, Bosston Black?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Oh for the bloody man?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Jack? Okay? I don't know where we have any truck
with this bomuster.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Shut up, Bob, come in, thanks. Now what do you want, Blackie?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I wanna make a deal.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
What do y'all mean to you?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
One of you knows where Harry Martin hit his money?
Whoever knows that is the one who killed Anne too.
Now I know who that is. I'd like to share
that fifty thousand. I like to share of it to
keep my mouth shut.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Oh well, now, ain't that nice?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Isn't worth it to the killer to spend twenty five thousand?
Go free? And uh, just so there won't be any
double crossing. I'll meet Anne's killer at the old mill
on Mill Creek Road at eleven o'clock tonight. Then at
the killer will lead me to Harry Martin's fifty thousand.
I'll take half the money and forget the whole thing.
(19:00):
I hope Anne's killer is smart enough to tell time.
I set eleven o'clock, and I don't like to wait
even for twenty five thousand bucks.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Well do we have to sit here and stare at
each other? He may not know anything.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, yeah, sure, that's what I think he's bluffing.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Look all we gotta do is stick together, and he
won't be able to do anything to any of us,
that is, if one of us did kill Anne Martin.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Hey, uh, I just remembered. They gotta go meet some fellas.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Funny time to remember, Jack.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
