Speaker 4 (04:39):
Huh, he didn't find him.
Speaker 1 (04:41):

in the first place.

borrowed your rainco Yes, well, I didn't want to get
your rinkled too wet, so I talked and attaches rendezvous
and hold your shoulder up beside me.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
But dou Butcher, I don't like that.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
You like that.
Speaker 1 (05:33):

Duke Butcher is going to think that you have him.
And let's not worry about it. Let's do something about it.

and talk at the same time.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
For one half hour you talk down on that restaurant, Blackie,
I still don't know what you said.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
That's because you weren't listening.

apiperit and stay here. Do I told you all I know,
but you told me nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Then I've told you all you know too.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay, then I'm coming into your apartment and I'm staying.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Don't think you're not welcome, inspector, because you're not.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
This gets me a lot of places I'm not welcome.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Oh uh, badly put that gun away, please, you'll hurt yourself.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Come on, come on, let's go inside it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
All right, but one of us is going to be
awfully sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I don't doubt it.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
After you you first Paraday. One of these days, I'm
really going to be mixed up in something and you're
going to be so stunned from the shock that you
will let me get away with us.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You're lucky you're not already.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And well, Blackie, no what wow?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Should have been an actor, Blackie, you actually look surprised.
What's Duke? What you're doing lying on the floor over
there with a knife in his chest?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I don't know, and I'm sure he's too dead to
tell us.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Inspector, all right, Thanky, no wonder you didn't want me
in here. I'm taking it down a headquarter.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
This sorday.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Duke is the reason I didn't want you to come
in here. But when I left, he was just knocked out.
I'm conscious, like.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Hey, I'm not listening, which shows you how smart I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Look sure he was going to tie Duke up while
I took you downstairs, and then we were going to
dump him with his pals, but very much alive.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
He isn't tied up now, and he isn't alive. He's dead.
You're going down to.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Headquarters all right, inspector, but let me get my head.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Allow you on this time. No tricks, why, inspector, this
is one time. You're not going to blow anything in
my face, pull any rugs out from under me, throw
anything at me, or make any telephone calls or anything else.
You're not going to get away from me this time. Blackie.
I've got you right where I want you. For murder. Well,
they say murder, we'll up and believe me. Now that
(11:11):
it is out, you're in.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Now back to Boston, Blackie. Duke Butcher stole the Worthington
pearls and was forced to unload them into Boston Blackie's raincoat. Later, Blackie,
while wearing his raincoat, was searched by a police inspector Parody.
But Blackie had been warned that the pearls were in
(11:43):
his pocket, and Parody mysteriously failed to find the stolen
good Still later, Duke Butcher came to Blackie's apartment demanding
the pearls.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Some short East.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
There was a fight and Butcher was knocked out. Farody arrived,
but Blackie took him downstairs to give Shorty a chance
to get rid of but a half hour later, Faraday
and Blackie returned and buying Duke Butcher still in Blackie's apartment,
but murdered. As we continue our story, Faraday prepares to
take Blackie down to headquarters.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
All right, Breckie, come on, let's come, won't you at
least let me get my raincoat.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Faraday, I said, no tricks this time.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
But then you get my raincoat for me? What do
you say?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I say, ha ha, So you'll get a little wet.
Come on, I've got a gun on you now. I'm
gonna keep it on you, and you're gonna get moving, all.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Right, Farday. If I go out into the rain without
my coat, get wet and die of pneumonia before you
can send me to the electric chair, you'll be sorry.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I'm practically crying.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I'll get your handkerchief.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Get going, Blankie.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Uh you first, you first.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I've got my gun sticking right in your back.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Uh a little higher, Faraday, and move it up and
down a little bit. Oh I like that. I said,
move all right, I'm moving.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You're pretty helpless when I don't give you a chance
to pull one of your tre Sancho. Come on, move,
This is one time you're not getting away.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I figured this is one time he is, well, drop
your gun. Cover, what's sticking in your baggy? Not tizzy roll?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, I dropped it.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
That's a way to keep living.
Speaker 2 (13:13):

to have help from one of your pals.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I've never seen this guy before in my life.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
What and I don't want you to turn and round
to look at me Cover. I think you could use
some sleep.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Look if you think.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well. I appreciate your motives, Pal, but don't your methods
a little rough You Inspector's head is as hard as
it looks enough, but when he wakes up, he won't
laugh it off.
Speaker 3 (13:39):

any favors, Leggy, Let's go way too. I figure maybe
you'd like a little ride in the country.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Ride in the country. That's good for the health.

I want to see how your panels Shorty here looks
in black and blue.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I don't let him scare you with that boss hid
out bruise.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
So he's he's gonna hand over the pearls, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah, maybe if I kick Shorty around a little, help
you to find out.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I owe you one for that, Scannon, and believe me,
I'll pay you off, but don't kick him again.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
That didn't hurt me, No, Boss, I'll tell him nothing.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Better tell me everything, Blackie. The next one will hurt.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Okay, Scannon, I'll tell you where the pearls are, but
you will have to worry about how to get them.
Where are at police headquarters.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
You're a lion, blucky, you said, Inspector Friday didn't find him.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
He didn't Shorty before he got around to searching my raincoat.
I sneak the pearls and the tobacco jar and inspect
the Faraday's desk.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Okay, Blackie, you put them in police headquarters. Now you
get them out.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I can't. If I show my face and police headquarters,
I'll be looking through bars for the next ten years.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Then figure out way for me to get him out
of Faraday's Tobacca John and I go to work on
Shorty again.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I'm kick boss.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Wait a minute, you're from out of town. I just
candle so. I don't think Faraday knows you, does he?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I'm not known at the cops anywhere. I'm too smart.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Good. You can walk into Faraday's office and walk out again,
can't you sure? Then you can go for the pearls yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Now how much sense does that make? And walk into
a guy's office reaching it was the back of job,
walk out again. He doesn't suspect anything. I thought you
were smart blanket.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I'll tell you how you can get into paradase tobacco
jar without raising suspicion.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
It's better to be good. I think you're stolen.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Go down to see Paraday and tell him you know
where I am. That should make him a buddy. But
to prove you know me, mention that I like to
smoke his special tobacco in my pipe and.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
That I want to try some too.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Isn't that simple?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, that's the auto to it.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
If you play at the angle that I always did,
smoke his tobacco and my pipe.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
That sounds good, It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
All you do then reach inside of tobacco jaw for
your pipe and palm the pearls.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Okay, Blackie, but you better be on the level about this.
But I'm not back inside of two hours. My pearls
have got orders. What to do with you?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Oh what kind of what is Scannon? Old pal?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'll tell you what kind of orders, shorty, And I'll
also tell you all the good jokes I know, so
we can die laughing.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
So you're the famous Inspector Faraday I heard so much about.
I'm glad to know you.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I'm glad to know you, Scannon, especially if you know
where I can find Boston Blackie.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Well, I don't know exactly, Inspected Faraday, but I have
a rough idea.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I'll give it to me and I'll smooth it out.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I saw Blackie's cart turn into a side road or
Harris is quite ten miles north of the sitting limits.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
How do you know it was Blackie's car?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I know Blakie pretty well.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
How well?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I used to be a friend of his.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
As long as you're just used to be okay.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
The road Blackie turned in and goes dead end into
the river, Inspected. I think you might ca thanks. Oh. Oh,
by the way, Blackie told me when so much you
liked your pipe tobacco?
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Oh? Is that so?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah? I'm a not on good pipe tobacco myself. You
might have liked trying a pipe from no I help yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I've laid off smoking my pipe for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
The tobaccos in this job.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Great a rouman, the inspected. What's that on in the
street there at the beginning of a browl?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Huh, Well, I don't see anything.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Those kids there screaming at each other.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Oh, I'm not doing anything wrong, just playing a new game.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
A new game, screaming at each other.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, they call it, Blackie Faraday, I never heard of it.
You want to like?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I have one? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Why do you like it? Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
It's fine fine. Black A certainly knew what he was
talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
He usually does, but doron't ever tell him my set so.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Nah, huh. It's a long inspector. And when you catch
Blackie tell him. I kind of liked the tobacco John
it had something, uh.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Different, Blackie Scalon said his hoods, we're gonna bomp us
if if he wasn't back in two hours?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Is it the Is it two dollars?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
No, shorty, I don't think so. The other must be
a way out of here.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Yeah, but where, boss, The ain't no windows. The doors locked,
Scandon supposed right outside.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I could get through the locked door, all right, but
I don't know how to get through Scanlon's men without
a gun.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Boss, somebody's open door. He was scamming.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Did you get pearls, Scammon?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yeah, I got the pearls. Thinks a lot. I sure
hate the double cross the guy who's on the level
with me, Blackie, but this is his business. Don't move
you the winning I'll have to let you have it
right now, Boss, he's got a gun.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Don't worry, Shorty, he wouldn't use it. He'll turn this
over to his pals.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
They do all my killing for me. That's how they
make a living. Well.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I just put him out of business, Inspector Parady, I
blanking it joints full of cars, all right, Scalon dropped that? Okay, okay, parody.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
For once in my life, I'm glad to see you,
and for once in my life, I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Why did you follow me here? Copy? You don't have
anything on me.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You've got answers for me, Scanlon. When I get through
with questions of my own, take him down at headquarters.
Run can rest away my hand, Thompson.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Wait a minute, Faraday, don't you give me orders?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Blankie.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
That's right, Faraday, don't listen to him.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I'm ready to don't take Scannon away just yet, all
Runner boys, Faraday, why did you follow Scannon?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I'm not so dumb, Blakie. I knew Scannon was up
to something when he said, you like my pipe tobacco.
You don't smoke a pipe.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Now he tells you, Hey, you're wonderful, Scanlon, is the
playful little fellow who tapped you on the head when
you were taking me to headquarters for the murder of
Duke Butcher. Scanlon kill Butcher.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
You can't prove that, Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yes I can. Duke Butcher was in my apartment looking
for the Worthington pearls, which he'd stolen, and then planted
I'm shorty, what let me finish before you start making arreste.
Scanlon was trying to hijack the pearls from Butcher. That's
why hellowed him to my apartment.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Flaggy, this better be good.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
This is very bad, Inspector, because Scanlon found Butcher tied
up way shorty, and I left him and killed him
when Butcher insisted he didn't know who had the pearl
that's crazy. Just how crazy do you think it is, Inspector.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I don't know if Scanlon killed Butcher because he didn't
have the pearls. Who has him.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Now, Scanmon? Scanlon has the pearls? Yeah, I'll show him.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I'll search him myself. Planky hould him boys, Braggy. If
this is another one of York.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Well loud, that's not a string of popcorn you're pulling
out of Scanlon's pocket, Paraday.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Worthy and pearls. Scalon didn't get these from Butcher. Where
did he hit them?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
From the tobacco jar in your office?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
What how they get there?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I put them there, Inspector, just before you searched me.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You let me chase all over town for these pearls
when all the time they were in the tobacco jar
on my desk.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
That's right, Paraday. But that's in your pipe.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
But don't smoke it.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
The last
All right, inspected, Paraday. You want to be here in
headquarters questioning? Here I am, and I know some wonderful answer.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well black em they better be good.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Well, first you answer one question for me. Why am
I here?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The worthing pearls have been stolen? That's why you're here, Paraday.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Really, I am disappointed. Your reason is the same old stuff.
I don't say you stole the pearls. I'm just not
taking any chances. I'm rounding up every suspect in tern Oh. Well,
in that case, I'm glad you didn't slight me.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I'm giving you a good going over. I got men
searching your apartment now, and I'm going to have you
searched too.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Promise you won't take off You're a nice boy.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
When you didn't behave yourself. Take off your coat a
whistle of waltz. I take off things better that way.
Hold my coat, you know what I mean? Hello Smike, it's.
Speaker 1 (01:11):

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Can he take it?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I suppose so I'll put him on a blanket's for you.
Make it snappy.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It's probably Mary Wesley wanting to know what case I'm
solving for you now. You never did anything for me,
but make trouble quiet Faraday. I don't want Mary to
know that I'm on speaking terms with you.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Hello, here's your call, blaky thanks, oh bluddy?
Speaker 1 (01:32):

Oh hi you Blackiet. I got here as soon as

Speaker 1 (04:17):
That's fine, joy, I.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Sort I got here too soon. I couldn't get any apartment.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Look short when you have some fast explaining to do.
How did those stolen pearls turn up in my raincoat pocket?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Jee, boss, they were there. Huh.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well you ought to know, you told me.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I hate to hear the answer to this one, boss.
What did Inspector Friday say when he found them?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
He didn't find him, that's what I.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Huh, he didn't find him.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
No, Now tell me how I happened to have them
in the first place.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Well, you see, it all goes back to before the
police place. Boss.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
You remember the morning when it was raining and I
borrowed your rainco Yes, well, I didn't want to get
your rinkled too wet, so I talked and attaches rendezvous
and hold your shoulder up beside me.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
But dou Butcher, I don't like that.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Oh no, Boss, I like that because Duke Butcher ain't
looking for me.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Then I like that.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
No, Boss, I don't like.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
That because when I get outside and put my hand
in your rank called pocket, what comes up but the
avoiding then poils, which is unloaded on me by Duke Butcher.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well do you like that or don't you?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Well?
Speaker 7 (05:21):
I don't like it, boss, because you ain't there, and
when I get back so I can tell you that
you got the boils in your pocket.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
But I do like it that Inspector Faraday didn't find him.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, he hasn't found them yet.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
You like that.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I don't like it, shorty, because until Faraday finds them,
Duke Butcher is going to think that you have him.
And let's not worry about it. Let's do something about it.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Yeah, it's a good idea, boss, because Duke is sure
going to come around to me asking for them toils.

Well, let's go into the apartment. Maybe we can get
an idea.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Okay, we better wait first, too, boys by, Duke is.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Okay, boys, you leave everything to me. I can handle.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's about time, Blackie.

and talk at the same time.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
For one half hour you talk down on that restaurant, Blackie,
I still don't know what you said.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
That's because you weren't listening.

Don't think you're not welcome, inspector, because you're not.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
This gets me a lot of places I'm not welcome.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Oh uh, badly put that gun away, please, you'll hurt yourself.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Come on, come on, let's go inside it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
All right, but one of us is going to be
awfully sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I don't doubt it.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
After you you first Paraday. One of these days, I'm
really going to be mixed up in something and you're
going to be so stunned from the shock that you
will let me get away with us.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
You're lucky you're not already.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And well, Blackie, no what wow?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Should have been an actor, Blackie, you actually look surprised.
What's Duke? What you're doing lying on the floor over
there with a knife in his chest?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I don't know, and I'm sure he's too dead to
tell us.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Inspector, all right, Thanky, no wonder you didn't want me
in here. I'm taking it down a headquarter.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
This sorday.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Duke is the reason I didn't want you to come
in here. But when I left, he was just knocked out.
I'm conscious, like.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Hey, I'm not listening, which shows you how smart I'm getting.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Look sure he was going to tie Duke up while
I took you downstairs, and then we were going to
dump him with his pals, but very much alive.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
He isn't tied up now, and he isn't alive. He's dead.
You're going down to.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Headquarters all right, inspector, but let me get my head.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Allow you on this time. No tricks, why, inspector, this
is one time. You're not going to blow anything in
my face, pull any rugs out from under me, throw
anything at me, or make any telephone calls or anything else.
You're not going to get away from me this time. Blackie.
I've got you right where I want you. For murder. Well,
they say murder, we'll up and believe me. Now that
(11:11):
it is out, you're in.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Now back to Boston, Blackie. Duke Butcher stole the Worthington
pearls and was forced to unload them into Boston Blackie's raincoat. Later, Blackie,
while wearing his raincoat, was searched by a police inspector Parody.
But Blackie had been warned that the pearls were in
(11:43):
his pocket, and Parody mysteriously failed to find the stolen
good Still later, Duke Butcher came to Blackie's apartment demanding
the pearls.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Some short East.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
There was a fight and Butcher was knocked out. Farody arrived,
but Blackie took him downstairs to give Shorty a chance
to get rid of but a half hour later, Faraday
and Blackie returned and buying Duke Butcher still in Blackie's apartment,
but murdered. As we continue our story, Faraday prepares to
take Blackie down to headquarters.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
All right, Breckie, come on, let's come, won't you at
least let me get my raincoat.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Faraday, I said, no tricks this time.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
But then you get my raincoat for me? What do
you say?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I say, ha ha, So you'll get a little wet.
Come on, I've got a gun on you now. I'm
gonna keep it on you, and you're gonna get moving, all.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Right, Farday. If I go out into the rain without
my coat, get wet and die of pneumonia before you
can send me to the electric chair, you'll be sorry.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I'm practically crying.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I'll get your handkerchief.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Get going, Blankie.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Uh you first, you first.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I've got my gun sticking right in your back.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Uh a little higher, Faraday, and move it up and
down a little bit. Oh I like that. I said,
move all right, I'm moving.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You're pretty helpless when I don't give you a chance
to pull one of your tre Sancho. Come on, move,
This is one time you're not getting away.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I figured this is one time he is, well, drop
your gun. Cover, what's sticking in your baggy? Not tizzy roll?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, I dropped it.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
That's a way to keep living.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Cover ill, Leggy. I guess you'll win if you have
to have help from one of your pals.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I've never seen this guy before in my life.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
What and I don't want you to turn and round
to look at me Cover. I think you could use
some sleep.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Look if you think.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well. I appreciate your motives, Pal, but don't your methods
a little rough You Inspector's head is as hard as
it looks enough, but when he wakes up, he won't
laugh it off.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Thanks, though I didn't slunk that copy to do you
any favors, Leggy, Let's go way too. I figure maybe
you'd like a little ride in the country.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Ride in the country. That's good for the health.
Speaker 3 (13:48):

Going, you're sure we're going to get there.
Speaker 3 (14:19):

can look in that rear view mirror too. I see
your pal Shorty following us.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Oh well, in that case, this is gonning to be
a little serious.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I saw Shorty behind us a minute we pulled away
from your apartment, just driven up. I'll take care of him.

your pal Shorty instead, And then then we'll have Shorty
join us at my place. It's gonna be a nice
little party.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
The party, huh. But why don't we go back to
my appart when first and make this sort of a
progressive party.

Big boys with little guns don't frighten me, Scanning.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Oh, Shorty, tell you who I am.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
And I know what you want too. The Worthington pearls.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You give up quick at night? You would hand them over.
I'll let you go.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I can't do it, Bluck.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I know you haven't.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
And what if I don't.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I want to see how your panels Shorty here looks
in black and blue.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I don't let him scare you with that boss hid
out bruise.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
So he's he's gonna hand over the pearls, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah, maybe if I kick Shorty around a little, help
you to find out.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I owe you one for that, Scannon, and believe me,
I'll pay you off, but don't kick him again.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
That didn't hurt me, No, Boss, I'll tell him nothing.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Better tell me everything, Blackie. The next one will hurt.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Okay, Scannon, I'll tell you where the pearls are, but
you will have to worry about how to get them.
Where are at police headquarters.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
You're a lion, blucky, you said, Inspector Friday didn't find him.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
He didn't Shorty before he got around to searching my raincoat.
I sneak the pearls and the tobacco jar and inspect
the Faraday's desk.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Okay, Blackie, you put them in police headquarters. Now you
get them out.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I can't. If I show my face and police headquarters,
I'll be looking through bars for the next ten years.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Then figure out way for me to get him out
of Faraday's Tobacca John and I go to work on
Shorty again.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I'm kick boss.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Wait a minute, you're from out of town. I just
candle so. I don't think Faraday knows you, does he?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I'm not known at the cops anywhere. I'm too smart.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Good. You can walk into Faraday's office and walk out again,
can't you sure? Then you can go for the pearls yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Now how much sense does that make? And walk into
a guy's office reaching it was the back of job,
walk out again. He doesn't suspect anything. I thought you
were smart blanket.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I'll tell you how you can get into paradase tobacco
jar without raising suspicion.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
It's better to be good. I think you're stolen.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Go down to see Paraday and tell him you know
where I am. That should make him a buddy. But
to prove you know me, mention that I like to
smoke his special tobacco in my pipe and.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
That I want to try some too.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Isn't that simple?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, that's the auto to it.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
If you play at the angle that I always did,
smoke his tobacco and my pipe.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
That sounds good, It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
All you do then reach inside of tobacco jaw for
your pipe and palm the pearls.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Okay, Blackie, but you better be on the level about this.
But I'm not back inside of two hours. My pearls
have got orders. What to do with you?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Oh what kind of what is Scannon? Old pal?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'll tell you what kind of orders, shorty, And I'll
also tell you all the good jokes I know, so
we can die laughing.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
So you're the famous Inspector Faraday I heard so much about.
I'm glad to know you.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I'm glad to know you, Scannon, especially if you know
where I can find Boston Blackie.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Well, I don't know exactly, Inspected Faraday, but I have
a rough idea.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I'll give it to me and I'll smooth it out.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I saw Blackie's cart turn into a side road or
Harris is quite ten miles north of the sitting limits.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
How do you know it was Blackie's car?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I know Blakie pretty well.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
How well?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I used to be a friend of his.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
As long as you're just used to be okay.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
The road Blackie turned in and goes dead end into
the river, Inspected. I think you might ca thanks. Oh. Oh,
by the way, Blackie told me when so much you
liked your pipe tobacco?
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Oh? Is that so?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah? I'm a not on good pipe tobacco myself. You
might have liked trying a pipe from no I help yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I've laid off smoking my pipe for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
The tobaccos in this job.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Great a rouman, the inspected. What's that on in the
street there at the beginning of a browl?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Huh, Well, I don't see anything.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Those kids there screaming at each other.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Oh, I'm not doing anything wrong, just playing a new game.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
A new game, screaming at each other.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, they call it, Blackie Faraday, I never heard of it.
You want to like?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I have one? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Why do you like it? Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
It's fine fine. Black A certainly knew what he was
talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
He usually does, but doron't ever tell him my set so.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Nah, huh. It's a long inspector. And when you catch
Blackie tell him. I kind of liked the tobacco John
it had something, uh.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Different, Blackie Scalon said his hoods, we're gonna bomp us
if if he wasn't back in two hours?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Is it the Is it two dollars?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
No, shorty, I don't think so. The other must be
a way out of here.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Yeah, but where, boss, The ain't no windows. The doors locked,
Scandon supposed right outside.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I could get through the locked door, all right, but
I don't know how to get through Scanlon's men without
a gun.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Boss, somebody's open door. He was scamming.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Did you get pearls, Scammon?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yeah, I got the pearls. Thinks a lot. I sure
hate the double cross the guy who's on the level
with me, Blackie, but this is his business. Don't move
you the winning I'll have to let you have it
right now, Boss, he's got a gun.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Don't worry, Shorty, he wouldn't use it. He'll turn this
over to his pals.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
They do all my killing for me. That's how they
make a living. Well.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I just put him out of business, Inspector Parady, I
blanking it joints full of cars, all right, Scalon dropped that? Okay, okay, parody.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
For once in my life, I'm glad to see you,
and for once in my life, I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Why did you follow me here? Copy? You don't have
anything on me.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You've got answers for me, Scanlon. When I get through
with questions of my own, take him down at headquarters.
Run can rest away my hand, Thompson.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Wait a minute, Faraday, don't you give me orders?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Blankie.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
That's right, Faraday, don't listen to him.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I'm ready to don't take Scannon away just yet, all
Runner boys, Faraday, why did you follow Scannon?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I'm not so dumb, Blakie. I knew Scannon was up
to something when he said, you like my pipe tobacco.
You don't smoke a pipe.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Now he tells you, Hey, you're wonderful, Scanlon, is the
playful little fellow who tapped you on the head when
you were taking me to headquarters for the murder of
Duke Butcher. Scanlon kill Butcher.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
You can't prove that, Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yes I can. Duke Butcher was in my apartment looking
for the Worthington pearls, which he'd stolen, and then planted
I'm shorty, what let me finish before you start making arreste.
Scanlon was trying to hijack the pearls from Butcher. That's
why hellowed him to my apartment.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Flaggy, this better be good.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
This is very bad, Inspector, because Scanlon found Butcher tied
up way shorty, and I left him and killed him
when Butcher insisted he didn't know who had the pearl
that's crazy. Just how crazy do you think it is, Inspector.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I don't know if Scanlon killed Butcher because he didn't
have the pearls. Who has him.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Now, Scanmon? Scanlon has the pearls? Yeah, I'll show him.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I'll search him myself. Planky hould him boys, Braggy. If
this is another one of York.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Well loud, that's not a string of popcorn you're pulling
out of Scanlon's pocket, Paraday.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Worthy and pearls. Scalon didn't get these from Butcher. Where
did he hit them?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
From the tobacco jar in your office?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
What how they get there?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I put them there, Inspector, just before you searched me.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You let me chase all over town for these pearls
when all the time they were in the tobacco jar
on my desk.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
That's right, Paraday. But that's in your pipe.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
But don't smoke it.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
