Speaker 3 (04:11):
Did you go to the bank for me?

I with Pete Matthews.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So you went somewhere with Matthews, Sam.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
But that was all right, Boss, because because Pete said,
if I walk over the east side with him, he
get his brother Bonnie to drive me down his motorcycle
and they figured riding on Bonnie's cycle was faster than walking.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Then you didn't go straight to the bank, Well, sure.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
I did, Boss, straight to the east side and then
straight to the bank on Bonnie's motorcycle.
Speaker 2 (04:51):

something happened when Bonnie and me was riding a motorcycle.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Don't tell me, I know you took a shortcut, gee, Boss,
never mind, because you didn't get to the bank in time.

for this kind of thing, and I.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Don't know which.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Look, Shorty, I think I know why Larry Brown was killed,
and it was no accident.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
You mean that explosion was supposed to.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Put him and I want his killers to think he escape.
That's why I threw your wall into Brown's car. The
police will identify the body. It's yours.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Mm gee sure glad? My poor old money can't read.
She feel awful bad about and they getting blown up.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Don't worry, Shorty, she even hears about it. We'll go
down and fig thinks up right away. All I want
is for Para Day to release the story to the
newspapers that you, and not Brown, was killed in that explosion.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Look, I I don't mind playing dead for us, as
long as it ain't for kiss. But why don't you
want nobody to know?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Bron got it.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
It's very simple, shorty. When it at last, Inspector.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Paraday, anybody in there?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Sure, anybody out there?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Break the Paraday of the police. I wasn't there.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Uh, let's play this guessing game a little longer, Paraday.
It's fun Blanky, it's you.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Let me break down the guard.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Don't go to the trouble of bruising your baby skin. Sweetheart,
I'll let you in shortly. Uh, staying with Fardy. Can't
see you right away, And let's give me a little surprise.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Oh shoe boy, you're thinking that flanky Paraday.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
You're a good bloodhound.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You don't get away from me for long, do you. Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I wasn't talking about your ability to find me, Faraday.
I was looking at your ears. Tell him on a hand,
all right, don't talk. You do enough talking for the
whole force, don't you, Faraday.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Okay, you've been funny long enough. Are you coming quietly?
Or am I? Shorty? I thought you were dead.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Hi, expect your Friday nice afternoon.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Huh what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I get rides here, this is my job.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But you're supposed to be dead. Chosen that homobile exposure.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Up towns that wasn't surely his body in fact.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
No, no, only my wallet. I uh hope you're from it.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, if that wasn't your body in that car, what
was your wallet doing there?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I put it there? Inspect him?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Kilded Blackie?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Why I didn't want you or anybody else another name
of the real victim until I talk to you.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
But if you were at the scene of the explosion,
you probably had something to do with it. Wo'd you
kill this time?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
The man's name was Larry Brown? Oh I didn't kill him?
Inspect you?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Well, if you didn't kill him, how do you know
his name?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I know the name of lots of dead people.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Look kind of want me, you wise cranks. I just
want you sturday.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
This is so sudden, really and also boring. Put that
gun away, will you? After I've put you? You're way
ahead of yourself. How can you arrest me for the
murder of Larry Brown when you haven't even found out
who killed Pete Wilson. Wilson was killed because somebody thought
he was Larry Brown. So what's Larry Brown? Was being
shadowed by an out of town trigger man hired to
(19:50):
kill him. Unfortunately, the trigger man didn't know what Brown
looked like Brown knew that and worked out a very
clever scheme to Ducker's assassin.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah this better be good now, and sure.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
It is, brownhew. His only hope of getting away from
the killer for good was to have the killer shoot
someone else. Brown owed me money, so he put it
in an envelope in his name at his hotel and
phoned me to come to the hotel and ask for it.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
But that's so, why aren't you dead?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Because I sent Pete Wilson for that envelope. He went
into the hotel asked for an envelope for Larry Brown.
The killer picked him up, took him for a little
joy ride, and you know what.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Okay? But then why was Brown killed?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
The killer realized his mistake, or the man who hired
him noticed it. So as not to make a mistake again,
they wired Brown's car for sound.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well that's the best one you've ever told, Blackie, But
it doesn't get me my killer. Do me a favor, Faraday,
I wouldn't do anything for you.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Then do it for yourself. Did you release a story
to the newspapers that Shorty was killed in the explosion?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, but I can stop it.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
No, No, don't stop it, let it go through. Add
to it a story that Larry Brown was the intended victim,
but escaped and has returned to his room at the
Williams Hotel.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Are you I'm crazy?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I'm crazy enough to get out from under a murder rap.
Release that story in the newspapers and then give me
six hours.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I wouldn't give you six seconds if I have any cents.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Oh, don't feel so badly about it, Friday, we can't
all be smart.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I ought to lock you up and never listen to
you again. Go ahead, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Thanks, Friday. Come on, Joey, you're boss. Remember our Friday
for six hours? Leave me alone?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Get that mon a hand. I'm supposed to leave him
alone six hours. I'm not letting him out of my sight.
Six seconds. Come on, it's is room five eleven.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Thanks. You're expecting later I bring it up with him.
Anything else's no, little be all it's good, bubble, thank you, sir.
Come in all right, Lackie. Well what took you so
long this time? Shorty?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
He little boss.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You gave me a tough job. I've been all over time.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Would you do what I ask?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Good?
Speaker 6 (22:01):
I did, Boss, my crowd's call every mug and kick
a man hip.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
And now everyone in time thinks that Larry Brown get
out of that exposure. Okay, and he's.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Right here and roll five or eleven of the William's
Hotel all along.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Good work, shorty, I scram I've got to wait for
a guy who is coming up here to kill me.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Uh, you have to make so much noise four o'clock
in the morning, round tug and cautious and then.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, if somebody in the hall might be a wait
and he put him a good h locks up right
up in the doll that schol I'll get excited.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
And be quiet.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Thought A nice for this, Yuh good?
Speaker 7 (22:49):

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Those eyes would be so blind that don't miss gould
tell you through.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I'll light the room to pitch, so maybe i'd better
turn on the light. You don't no bother I forget
your gun file. I think it's like if Faraday we
would like to do that himself. Hey Faraday, come on in.
You've been in the next room for hours. I know it.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I'll try it like him. So I didn't leave you alone.
So you know it. You had now shunt this guy.
Maybe you'd have been glad.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I'm glad. Anyhow, Paraday, you heard this guy here say
he wasn't gonna make a mistake. You kill the wrong
guy again.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I heard everything. I've been in the next room for hours.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Well, incidentally, on your way down the headquarters, and so
we practically had a sweep together Friday.

Speaker 2 (03:57):

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Boss, Anything wrong?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
No, no, no, not exactly, Boss.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Did you go to the bank for me?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Sure, Blackie. I got to the bank all right, but
not exactly soon enough.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And by not exactly soon enough you mean too late,
well short of, and by sort of you mean yes, surely.
Can't I trust you with a simple a thing as
going to the bank for me? You left two hours ago.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It went straight to the bank for us?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
How straight?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Straight down Sunset Parkway, the River Boulevard. And what do
I with Pete Matthews.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So you went somewhere with Matthews, Sam.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
But that was all right, Boss, because because Pete said,
if I walk over the east side with him, he
get his brother Bonnie to drive me down his motorcycle
and they figured riding on Bonnie's cycle was faster than walking.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Then you didn't go straight to the bank, Well, sure.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
I did, Boss, straight to the east side and then
straight to the bank on Bonnie's motorcycle.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
All the time it was straight to the bank. Only
something happened when Bonnie and me was riding a motorcycle.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Don't tell me, I know you took a shortcut, gee, Boss,
never mind, because you didn't get to the bank in time.
I have a date with Mary in one hour, and
all I have in my pocket is ninety eight cents
in a paper clip.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Well, boss, there's that hundred Larry Brown left for any
envelope at the Williams Hotel.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, that's way uptown. It's like an hour to get there,
and Mary's a no mood to wait.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Oh Boss, I'm sure, I'm sorry, But if Bunny and
me hadn't bumped.
Speaker 3 (05:18):

came up here to see you this morning. I know
that because I gave me your address.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Oh thanks so much, Inspected. That little controversy, rather that
little curtsey courtesy of yours cost me one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And it costs Pete Wilson is life. He came up
here to make a deal with you. You went in

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Of the take. The take yesterday was one hundred dollars,
my hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:36):

every planky, so help yourself, inspected. Oh on, Faraday, I
mustn't forget my manners. Please don't get up. I was
just leaving anyhow.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Our story began when Larry Brown telephoned Blackie to inform
him that the hundred dollars Brown Old Blackie was waiting
for Blackie in an envelope in the Williams Hotel in
Larry Brown's name. When Pete Wilson on the World character
came to Blackie to borrow money. Blackie sent him to
the Williams Hotel to pick up the envelope. Wilson is
not seen again until he's finished out of the river.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Murdered.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Inspector Parody of.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
The police is convinced Blackie killed Wilson because earlier that
day he himself had given Wilson Blackie's address. When Parody
attempts to arrest Blackie, black Here, as usual escape. To
continue our story, we returned to the waterfront. Wrestler uh Sam,
Larry Brown's one time gangster, walks in and takes the seat.

mixed up?
Speaker 2 (13:43):

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Every time you took a step, it might be a
last one turn and yell and one more crack like that, salmin.
I'm sorry, Larry, I didn't mean anything better enough. What
have you been out driving around? And you can see
you drive up? I'd brake up the street a little

Speaker 3 (14:28):

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Wilson's Pete Wilson.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
No, do you know he's been murdered.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
No, I've been making on my business not to know
much of any of these days. The reason knowing things
isn't always healthy.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Look, Larry, I'm not trying to involve you in anything. Yeah,
why should I?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
You mean everything between us is okay in.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
A manner of speaking.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
You got that ar blow by left Foy and everything.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
No, Larry, I didn't. But now that you mention it,
Pete Wilson got it.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Oh, Wilson got the letter.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
And he got everything. Cool.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
You're sure this guy Wilson picked up that envelope.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
According to the clerk at the hotel, as far as
I can find out, that's the last time he was
seen alive.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
You making that crack for a reason?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
No? Except it? Well, I thought maybe you could tell
me whether or not there's a possible connection between that
envelope and Wilson's death.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
How should I know? I see you around waking.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Wait a minute, I'm not grow Oh but I am.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I got an a point though.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, look, uh, where can I get in touch with it?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Who knows? I don't I've been moving around here and there,
so on.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Come on, shouty, you might as well go too. Okay,
you say, come on.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Alright, Blacky, No, we know better off than we was
before we finnished guy Thron.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
We may be surety it's possible that Brown engineered Wilson's killing.
You think so, I might as well think so. I
haven't any other ideas. Come on, there's Brown getting into
his car up the street. Let's get mine in follow him. Sure, sure, boss,
It's on me a long shot, but I have an idea, Hey, Bush, Shorty,
Brown's cars arect wreck.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Looks like it's been fun.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
It was, Shorty when Brown stepped on the starter. Come on,
let's have a look here.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Gee, boss, there.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Ain't much left of anything.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Nobody will ever be able to prove the god of
the name of Larry Brown was in this car. Gosh, no,
I think I know why this happened too. E gives
me an idea, Shorty, give me a wallet?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh sure, sure, boy was here.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Okay, hey boss, what's the idea throwing my wallet and
a wreck?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I'll tell you later. Let's go, gosh, boys.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
When Friday gets here and finds my wall to think
I was knocked off in the floor.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah, Shorty, I imagine, Inspector Fiday, we'll think you've gone
all to pieces. Come on, we're going to your place?
Speaker 6 (16:59):
What, Blacky, why are we using my place as a
high out? The inspect to figures I'm dead, who'll come
running down here?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
For sure?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
That's what I want him to do, Shorty.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Of course, either your too smarter or I'm too dumb
for this kind of thing, and I.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Don't know which.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Look, Shorty, I think I know why Larry Brown was killed,
and it was no accident.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
You mean that explosion was supposed to.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Put him and I want his killers to think he escape.
That's why I threw your wall into Brown's car. The
police will identify the body. It's yours.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Mm gee sure glad? My poor old money can't read.
She feel awful bad about and they getting blown up.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Don't worry, Shorty, she even hears about it. We'll go
down and fig thinks up right away. All I want
is for Para Day to release the story to the
newspapers that you, and not Brown, was killed in that explosion.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Look, I I don't mind playing dead for us, as
long as it ain't for kiss. But why don't you
want nobody to know?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Bron got it.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
It's very simple, shorty. When it at last, Inspector.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Paraday, anybody in there?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Sure, anybody out there?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Break the Paraday of the police. I wasn't there.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Uh, let's play this guessing game a little longer, Paraday.
It's fun Blanky, it's you.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Let me break down the guard.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Don't go to the trouble of bruising your baby skin. Sweetheart,
I'll let you in shortly. Uh, staying with Fardy. Can't
see you right away, And let's give me a little surprise.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Oh shoe boy, you're thinking that flanky Paraday.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
You're a good bloodhound.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You don't get away from me for long, do you. Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I wasn't talking about your ability to find me, Faraday.
I was looking at your ears. Tell him on a hand,
all right, don't talk. You do enough talking for the
whole force, don't you, Faraday.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Okay, you've been funny long enough. Are you coming quietly?
Or am I? Shorty? I thought you were dead.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Hi, expect your Friday nice afternoon.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Huh what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I get rides here, this is my job.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But you're supposed to be dead. Chosen that homobile exposure.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Up towns that wasn't surely his body in fact.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
No, no, only my wallet. I uh hope you're from it.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, if that wasn't your body in that car, what
was your wallet doing there?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I put it there? Inspect him?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Kilded Blackie?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Why I didn't want you or anybody else another name
of the real victim until I talk to you.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
But if you were at the scene of the explosion,
you probably had something to do with it. Wo'd you
kill this time?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
The man's name was Larry Brown? Oh I didn't kill him?
Inspect you?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Well, if you didn't kill him, how do you know
his name?
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I know the name of lots of dead people.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Look kind of want me, you wise cranks. I just
want you sturday.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
This is so sudden, really and also boring. Put that
gun away, will you? After I've put you? You're way
ahead of yourself. How can you arrest me for the
murder of Larry Brown when you haven't even found out
who killed Pete Wilson. Wilson was killed because somebody thought
he was Larry Brown. So what's Larry Brown? Was being
shadowed by an out of town trigger man hired to
(19:50):
kill him. Unfortunately, the trigger man didn't know what Brown
looked like Brown knew that and worked out a very
clever scheme to Ducker's assassin.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah this better be good now, and sure.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
It is, brownhew. His only hope of getting away from
the killer for good was to have the killer shoot
someone else. Brown owed me money, so he put it
in an envelope in his name at his hotel and
phoned me to come to the hotel and ask for it.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
But that's so, why aren't you dead?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Because I sent Pete Wilson for that envelope. He went
into the hotel asked for an envelope for Larry Brown.
The killer picked him up, took him for a little
joy ride, and you know what.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Okay? But then why was Brown killed?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
The killer realized his mistake, or the man who hired
him noticed it. So as not to make a mistake again,
they wired Brown's car for sound.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Well that's the best one you've ever told, Blackie, But
it doesn't get me my killer. Do me a favor, Faraday,
I wouldn't do anything for you.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Then do it for yourself. Did you release a story
to the newspapers that Shorty was killed in the explosion?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, but I can stop it.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
No, No, don't stop it, let it go through. Add
to it a story that Larry Brown was the intended victim,
but escaped and has returned to his room at the
Williams Hotel.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Are you I'm crazy?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I'm crazy enough to get out from under a murder rap.
Release that story in the newspapers and then give me
six hours.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I wouldn't give you six seconds if I have any cents.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Oh, don't feel so badly about it, Friday, we can't
all be smart.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I ought to lock you up and never listen to
you again. Go ahead, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Thanks, Friday. Come on, Joey, you're boss. Remember our Friday
for six hours? Leave me alone?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Get that mon a hand. I'm supposed to leave him
alone six hours. I'm not letting him out of my sight.
Six seconds. Come on, it's is room five eleven.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Thanks. You're expecting later I bring it up with him.
Anything else's no, little be all it's good, bubble, thank you, sir.
Come in all right, Lackie. Well what took you so
long this time? Shorty?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
He little boss.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You gave me a tough job. I've been all over time.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Would you do what I ask?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Good?
Speaker 6 (22:01):
I did, Boss, my crowd's call every mug and kick
a man hip.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
And now everyone in time thinks that Larry Brown get
out of that exposure. Okay, and he's.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Right here and roll five or eleven of the William's
Hotel all along.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Good work, shorty, I scram I've got to wait for
a guy who is coming up here to kill me.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Uh, you have to make so much noise four o'clock
in the morning, round tug and cautious and then.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, if somebody in the hall might be a wait
and he put him a good h locks up right
up in the doll that schol I'll get excited.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
And be quiet.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Thought A nice for this, Yuh good?
Speaker 7 (22:49):
Why you're doing most of the talking.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
We can write spear.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
There's someone in the bed I'm not gonna be make
in the morning, so gonna make sure we kill her
right down that time. Come on.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Most of light straight.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Those eyes would be so blind that don't miss gould
tell you through.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I'll light the room to pitch, so maybe i'd better
turn on the light. You don't no bother I forget
your gun file. I think it's like if Faraday we
would like to do that himself. Hey Faraday, come on in.
You've been in the next room for hours. I know it.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I'll try it like him. So I didn't leave you alone.
So you know it. You had now shunt this guy.
Maybe you'd have been glad.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I'm glad. Anyhow, Paraday, you heard this guy here say
he wasn't gonna make a mistake. You kill the wrong
guy again.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I heard everything. I've been in the next room for hours.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Well, incidentally, on your way down the headquarters, and so
we practically had a sweep together Friday.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I supposed to stop and pay the bill. Hello, oh Blackie,
