From Hollywood. It's time now for Edmund O'Brien as.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Johnny Dolla.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is Missus Wish, mister Dollar.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh yes, Do I understand that.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
You're in San Francisco because of the disappearance.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Of my husband.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
That's right, Missus Wish. The doctor's insurance companies seem to
feel that the circumstances deserves them looking into it.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Is very strange and I'm quite frightened.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I know you must be upset, and I know that
the police about it you quite a bit. But I
wonder if I could come out and talk to you.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Of course, mister Dollar, only one thing is important. That
is to learn that my husband is alive and safe.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Please feel free to come any time that's convenient to you.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Edmund O'Brien and a transcribed adventure of the man with
the action back to Expenser Cab America is fabulous. Freelance
insurance investigator.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense account submitted by a special investigator,
Johnny Dolla to home office, Washingtonian Life Insurance Company at Hartford, Connecticut.
The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation
(01:14):
of the Malcolm Wish MD matter. Expense account. I had
won two hundred and eighteen dollars and forty five cents
arefair incidentals between Hartford and San Francisco. There After a
phone call to his wife, I went to the home
of the missing doctor Wish, which was situated about halfway
up Fashionable Knob Hill.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Good morning, oh.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Missus Wishes expecting me. My name is Dollar, Yes she is.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
You're the insurance here, that's right. I'm the daughter. My
name is Cecil. Do you learn anything about father?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Not yet, but I just got here this morning.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
You should have realized that I'd like to talk to
you about it.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Do you mean you think you know some other things
that other people don't, some other people you haven't told
the police.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
No, I didn't like the man who came here, Lieutenant Hugh.
I don't want to talk to you. And after you've
seen her?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Sure anything you're saying? Where you're staying the Cleveland Hotel
on Saturn.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
I'm going to be downtown. I'll meet you at the
coffee shop at noon.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Okay, see, so I'll be there. Where can I find
your mother?
Speaker 6 (02:24):
The second door leads to the morning room in the
view of the bay. He's waiting to just walk right
in and don't mention what I said to you.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
All right, I'll see you later. Yeah, this is Welsha. Yes,
I was told to come right in. I'm Johnny Dallah.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Oh, yes, I've been waiting. Come and sit down.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'll take up as little of your time as possible,
missus Wisha.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
It's quite all right.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I understand the last time you saw your husband was
his night before last, when he left the house to
make a professional call.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Would you tell me about it? Please?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I only wish I knew more about it. My husband
very seldom accepts night calls.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
But night before last the phone rang and he talked
for a moment, and then he left.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
What time is that?
Speaker 6 (03:09):
A little past nine?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Isn't it his habit to let you know where he's
going when he goes out at nine?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
No, I'm afraid it isn't anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Once it was, yes, and you didn't hear him mention
the name of the patient that called him.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
No, I was out of the room, and he answered the.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Phone himself, and he must have said something to him.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Well, he seemed to be in a hurry, and he
told me he'd be back in an hour.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Or so that it was an emergency.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Naturally, we assumed that it was one of his regular patients,
So yesterday my daughter and I started phoning them.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
We got the name from doctor Schubert.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
He's the other doctor in your husband's office.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yes, I believe he's called some of Malcolm's patients too,
but none of them seem to have phoned that night.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Oh, I'm terribly worried, mister Dollar.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
We'll do everything we can. How do I get to
his office from here? Missus? Wish?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
It's in the tide building on Post You can.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Take the cable car on the corner and it'll drop
you to half a lock away.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Thanks, he'll be in touch with it.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
Right in, mister Dollar.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
I am sorry I was so brief with you on
the phone at a patient in the office at the time.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's perfectly all right, doctor Humean.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
It wouldn't help matters to Discuslockolm's disappearance in front of him,
you know how tongues.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
Rag or Please be seated.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
It is true that this situation is not yet common knowledge.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
The papers have left it alone. How did you hide
the truth when you've phoned his patients?
Speaker 8 (04:30):
Well, oh, of course you have met with his wife.
She was insistent that I do that, But it is
not my duty, I thought, at least at this time.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Do you not agree? I suppose so if you don't
think doctor Witch is in danger.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
I don't jump to that conclusion until I see some reason.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
The man has disappeared, doctor.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Many men have disappeared. Doctor Vish is fifty two years old.
He has practiced here.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
In San Francisco for more than twenty years before that
is Seattle. The last two months I have noticed a
change in him or tiring. He was no longer satisfied
with his life.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Are you inferring that he might have ducked out on
his own?
Speaker 7 (05:10):
Perhaps even amnesia?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Does it sound like amnesia for a man to answer
the phone, tell his wife he'll be home in a
short time, pick up his medical kit, and drive away
in his car.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Who knows about Alicia?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Does an amnesia victim go to the trouble of keeping
a car hidden from the police of three states?
Speaker 8 (05:26):
It would depend on the type of amlitia.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I didn't think there were types, So you must mean
voluntary or involuntary. If he did just suddenly drop his
life here and you know that to be the case.
Speaker 8 (05:39):
I know nothing, Doctor Wish and I.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Discussed very little but medical matters.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
I repeat that, I realized that for two months or
longer he was not a happy man. If he has
made arrangements to have changed that, I do not know,
but it is a possibility.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
He wouldn't tell me if he were in trouble over
his practice, would you? I would not.
Speaker 8 (05:59):
But I'm sure that doctor Vish is, to the best
of my knowledge, a highly ethical amount of machine.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You are probably being cooperative, doctor, but I am not
sure whether it's with Wayshore, with the police and me.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
I am simply without the information.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I have an appointment in fifteen minutes, and I'd
like to come back this afternoon and get a list
of his patients.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
Go.
Speaker 8 (06:21):
I'll welcome, but please mention it to the receptionist on
the way out.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
She'll be happy together the information for you.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Good afternoon. So would you prefer a table of the.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Contact I'm supposed to meet someone here at.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Noon five after Yeah, I know, well, I.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Don't say it. I guess she's lighter than I am.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Would it have been a miss Wish?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh, yes, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Then if you or mister Dollar.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
She phoned and asked me to tell you that she
wasn't able to lunch with you, but that she would
be reached.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
By phone at her home anytime after two.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I see, thanks very much. I'll take the counter might
as Raba Sanders. I didn't suspect Cecil's motives until I
left the coffee shop. Then I realized I was being followed.
I kept my eyes pretty much off the man, but
so enough to describe him medium height and a broad shoulders.
Soup and the hair that hiwed below a hat was
(07:32):
so white blonde that I thought it must have been bleached.
He followed me to a drug store when I phoned
Lieutenant Hughes, the detective on the case. Then my shadow
followed me aboard a market street bus and dropped off
a block after I did. He was lounging on a
corner when I went into police headquarters. I'm glad to
(07:54):
have you in town. Dolly. Well, I don't have anything
to give you. I put out a description of the
doctor in his car, and I've been running along. I
don't have to for a few more days with something
break I had taken. You have talked to the other doctor,
and yeah, and he hinted that doctor Wish dropped out
of sight. Yeah, happened itself. Doesn't happen to be a crime,
not yet anyway. Things like that sometimes crowned the law
(08:14):
against insurance fraud. Lieutenant, well, not for a while. I
don't think I'm passing yourself without reason. But the information
I have now is down a little I can do
except to wait and see if the wife doesn't get
a brush off by mail from Alaska someplace that's legal.
If you have a line on any women in design
that doesn't necessarily have to be one, does it? It
helps sometimes the any reason why somebody should be tailing me,
(08:38):
tailing you? Winter spotted right after I had lunch at
the Cleveland Hotel coffee shop. When do you think the
table was put on? I'm not sure. I went out
to the Wish house this morning. From there, I went
to his office. From there to the coffee shop, and
I came here. Hm. Any idea, Yeah, I've got an
idea that a man who wants to drop out of
sight wouldn't risk drawing attention to himself by putting a
(08:59):
tail and somebody who's looking for him, Jill, hardly, it's
all right with you. I'd like to leave things the
way they are. I wanted to let you know about it,
but I think we got to let him play for
a while. I'll go along with thing. I got some
good men I could put on it, but there's always
the chance of tipping him. I'd leave him alone. Maybe
he's only a hungry tourist who thinks I might lead
him to a good stake. He followed me back to
(09:29):
the doctor's office, and he was waiting for me fifteen
minutes later when I up with the names, addresses, and
phone numbers of what I'd been told were all the
patients of doctor Wish. By this time I was learning
a few things about the man following me. He was
good at it, unobtrusive, not too eager, yet never losing me,
though I didn't make myself too easy to follow. I
let my dad I watched me buy some stationary and
(09:50):
a patent in my hotel, and I went up to
my room, hoping he'd relax downstairs. I checked in the
carter three times in the next half hour, and then
at two fifteen I phoned the Wish house. Oh just Wish, Yes,
(10:11):
who's this mister Dollar.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Oh, I'm sir about not meeting.
Speaker 10 (10:14):
If something came up.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
That I couldn't get out of, you may have more
trouble getting out than even you figure it on.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
What'd you say?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
It doesn't look good when you promise information then don't
show up to give it. What did you really make
that date and then not show up?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
You couldn't help if there wasn't anything I could do
about it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
What is this information you have? You can give it
to me, now, can't you? Hie?
Speaker 6 (10:30):
With the phone?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'll come up there, oh, because mother will be here.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I'll have to meet you someplace. Are you at your hotel?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I can be anytime. You say where?
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Then the bar?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I think it had better be my room?
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Well?
Speaker 10 (10:39):
What all right? I'll be there at eight thirty?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Which one is it?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Eight thirty? Why so late?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Mother will be here and I'll have to sneak out.
It sound as if you've.
Speaker 10 (10:49):
Learned something, have you?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
We'll talk about it when you get here. The room
is three two three. Don't stop at the desk, Come
right up to the third floor and wait near the elevators.
I'll be a minute or so late. Why do I
have to mind be here? If you stand me up again?
I'll see that the police make the next date with you.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Why are you there?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
So? Will I say so? Goodbye? I left as soon
as I'd hung up, and led my shadow away from
the hotel before I thought there could have been any
contact between him and Cecil Wish. I kept him moving
the rest of the afternoon and away from phones as
(11:26):
much as possible while I called on some of the
missing doctor's patients. I arranged it so that he couldn't
have seen her go into the hotel, and still when
I reached the third floor, she wasn't waiting for me.
When I spotted Lieutenant Hughes leaning against my door, I
thought I knew why I've been trying to do my job.
(11:48):
Do you scare a girl away from here? Or did
you notice there was a time and place? Tell me
is this man will stop tailing you? No, he's waiting
across the street from the entrance fly. Lieutenant Doctor Wisher's coat, shoes,
and the suicide note were found on the gold Cap
Bridge about an hour ago. M Nathan, is Bunny, not yet,
and now explain for what possible reason this guy should
(12:10):

with our star.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Addmond O'Brien, we return you to the second act of Yours, truly,
Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
As it turned out, the Lieutenant and I, instead of
playing at smart, should have colored the blonde shadow hours before.
But the boat had sailed by the time we got
down to the street. He disappeared, An alarm was broadcast
on his description, and Lieutenant Hughes and I went up
to the wish address.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
This doesn't impossible.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I steel myself to accept almost any kind of horrible
news and accidents, some sudden illness, anything, but not this.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Didn't your husband in any way show that he might
have been the fund. In no way was there any
trouble between you and him.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
We were normally happy little stats cecils? Yes, Mother, was
there anything hidden from me? Was your father unhappy because
of something that you knew about?
Speaker 6 (14:01):
And I did not that I know of.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Mother, you've seen that note? Missus wish?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yes, I've seen the note.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And you are still sure he wrote it?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
I wish. I weren't so sure.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I'm sorry that it has to be brought up. But
it sounded as if he were pretty unhappy about his life.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Whatever it was, he kept it hidden. I haven't an inkling.
We've been so happy.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The other doctor in his office thought that he might
not have been so happy.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Then, Doctor Hubert was aware of something I knew nothing about.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Perhaps I was blind?
Speaker 11 (14:29):
Oh are you?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I'm awful?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Talk about he's doing quite well? Does you think you not.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
As well as you are?
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I'm not trying.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Being honest? Father's not dead, and I think she knows.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Be glad yourself? Sure?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Not as suicide from the grolden Gate Bridge. That's too
much going out in.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
The other room. We'll be back on in lieutenant, Where.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Are you going to come right back? Mother? Father had
no reason to take it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Why do you think it's happened?
Speaker 12 (15:01):
Then?
Speaker 10 (15:01):
I was going to tell you what I thought when
we planned to meet at noon, cause it changed my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Is there a change of mind? What came up that
you couldn't get out of it?
Speaker 10 (15:08):
It's harder to get away from him a lot of things.
First I thought that he was playing a dirty trick
on me. Then I wondered if I wouldn't be playing
a dirty or one on him by telling you.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
About it, he would changed her mind about meeting me
at seven too.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
He got the news about the things on the bridge
just as I was.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
Leaving fathers reached what they call a dangerous age. I
guess it is he finally fell in love.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I don't envy him. Doctor Hubert diagnosed it as possible amnesia.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Typical Huber diagnosis.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
I don't think he knows about things, but you found out,
of course I did.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
I wasn't taken in by these night calls at all.
I followed him. I even talked to her without her
knowing who I was. She's nice, and I felt like
a chaperone.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
What's her name?
Speaker 6 (15:49):
M movies?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Did she talk you and alluring me to that coffee champ?
Speaker 6 (15:53):
What are you mean?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I was out of that guy that was following me
from the time I left there.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
I don't know what you mean, stopt At.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I let him right over the police headquarters and told
Lieutenant Hughes about him with your dollar.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The guy was good. I had half a hunch he
might be a private detective. But then when I realized
how well practiced he was on melting away from the police,
I began to wonder, there's a police alarm out on
him now, so you'll save a lot of time and
trouble by telling me who and where we can find him.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I think I made you go there so you could
be followed.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I was followed. Why you put me in that coffee show?
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Why were you following?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Because I was looking for your father? You know that.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
I don't know what it is. You don't know anything
about her. She's younger than father're.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
About thirty four or five, married, a single.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
I don't know where.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Does she live, Wesley.
Speaker 10 (16:32):
It's an apartment of building on Dennis. I thought they'd
run away together.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Maybe give me the apartment number, Lieutenant, and I'll go
and see. He could be the next one stick it
slough no voices.
Speaker 13 (16:57):
Wait a minute, Oh, I guess now it was a.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Light showing under the door. Though we try it.
Speaker 13 (17:14):
Yeah, sort here, I'll get it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I'd close the door and lead to her bedroom. Yeah,
let's try it. Hold it there on the floor. Uh,
man suit coat, suit cut. Let's see that. Look at
the sign here. Yeahs dry blood, a lot of it.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Children.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Look here, fellows home un a knife. H the labels
as boy as constan citing and that it. Yeah, that's
looking there. Couple outshitch. Uh yeah h. There's the shirt
(18:09):
that was over the croup. There are more bloodstains on
the bed. There's something more, Lieutenant. It figures that doctor
Wish was here, all right. M There was a metal
waste basket in the bathroom doorway. In it was a
large amount of surgical dressing, all blood stained. It told
(18:30):
of a wound that had been dressed and re dressed
a number of times. Other things in the room fell
into place a sales slip from Mills Department store in
San Francisco. It was in receipt of the purchase of
a man's shirt and jacket, probably to replace the bloodstained
ones left in the apartment. The slip was date at
PM the current day, which was Thursday, And finally on
the dresser we found a day old Nevada newspaper. The
(18:53):
front page item that seemed to fit reported unidentified trio
murders and robs Carson City bet maker Dyang Men believed
to have wounded one of his assailants. All the time, figures,
all right, leave and then they could have got the
San Francis by eight or so. Then if the actor disappeared,
there are a couple of stands in town to carry
out of state papers? Are they old? So this one
must have been bought today and we didn't miss him
by far, Lieutenant, According to the signs, this guy has
(19:15):
been pretty bad shape. To get him out of this
building without drawing attention, they'd have to do it after dark,
don't you think? I think they were plenty rushed. I'd
done something to cover up the tracks here at that time,
doctor Wish's coat and stuff on the Golden Gate bridge
when is that lee? Almost any place quite open once
you're across the bridge. But the blonde man who was
still following me when I met you at the hotel
after sticking together this far, would they leave him or
(19:35):
come back after him? So I thought, I'm going to
get on the phone out here and put some man
on it. I'll check the tenants on this floor and
see if the building managers come in yet. I'll meet
you at your office. I got nothing from the building.
The woman and movies hadn't lived there long enough to
become friendly with anyone. The manager knew that she had
(19:57):
received men visitors now and then, but that was all
m Nobody had seen an injured man enter or leave.
An hour later, in Lieutenant Hughes's ovis, I learned that
the police had had better luck than I had. I
got on the telet at the Carson City. Your description
of the blond man fits with the having a man
named ned Ring records in Nevada, Nutah. Anybody would have
(20:17):
like that, never should have tried to be a criminal here,
And I gave him the name Movius. They haven't Allen
Movius no record, but no one associated this ned Ring,
so it figured no next to Kenon Movius. I suppose no.
But he must be a brother to the woman, unless
that's her married name. Anyway, they never heard of her.
She's clear as far as working, sir, mm, yeah, and
(20:41):
I guess she just happened to know. Hella right, Well
that's the name only Oh good? Put him in a room.
We were right down on was a your blonde friend?
He was picked up boarding an airport limousine. Well, Ring,
(21:13):
I'm glad to see you. Look, I don't know what
any of this is all about. You don't write the
homie Ring. Did your buddies duck out on you? What
do you mean my buddies duck out of me? Where
were you flying to when you got picked up?
Speaker 11 (21:23):
The other cop got my ticket? It says La. I
got a right to go to.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
La, haven't they? Is that where your buddies are going?
Speaker 11 (21:29):
What buddies? I was going along?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Why weren't you going to Carson City?
Speaker 6 (21:33):
Look?
Speaker 11 (21:33):
What's eating you to? It must have me mixed up
with somebody else.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Your name is not Ring, isn't it. How do you
think we found out what your name was? Well?
Speaker 11 (21:41):
You had it all old me. The other cop got
my wallets.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
We had your name before you were picked up. We
got it from Carson City? Will you give me this stuff?
Maybe he doesn't know he doesn't. You don't think you
followed me all day without my catching onto it? Do you?
I never saw you before? How about a doctor Malcolm
Wish movie. I'm not talking a couple of men on
the way from Carson City. Maybe you'd rather wait and
talk of them.
Speaker 11 (22:04):
I don't know anything about anybody in Carson City.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yes you do. Ring. It started out to be an
unidentified trio that killed that bet maker in Carson City.
But it isn't anymore. We've got your on AM, and
we've got another one Alan Movies, and we've got a
link between Anne Lovius and the doctor that disappeared the
other night. He was held in an apartment on van Ness.
He took care of one of your buddies who'd been shot.
That's a kidnapping right now, it looks like another murder.
You try to set it up like a suicide. But
if you went off that bridge, he was pushed.
Speaker 11 (22:28):
I don't know anything about what that pat, What are
you talking about?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Get off it ring. You're tied up. They left your ring,
didn't they. They had to get out of that apartment
while they had you off tailing me around town. They left,
and they left one hundred leagues pointing right at you.
That's why you're here. They even left the newspaper with
a story of that Carson City killing. They really rot
it out on you?
Speaker 7 (22:47):
Yeah, yeah they should did?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Did they all right? Where they go?
Speaker 11 (22:52):
I don't know they did, don't think I wouldn't tell you.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
They pulled out before you saw me go into my
hotel about age thirty.
Speaker 11 (22:59):
Yeah, I guess was it?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Who was the one that was woted?
Speaker 11 (23:01):
Movies couldn't just leave him the body or we should
have kept yelling about a sister. And Fresco was friends
with a doctor, so he drove him all away here.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
How bad is movies? Pretty bad?
Speaker 11 (23:13):
Slug is inside him someplace?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
How far do you think they could drive with him?
Speaker 11 (23:17):
I didn't think he could be moved out of that
apartmentre like killing him?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Where does the sister stand in all this?
Speaker 7 (23:22):
No place?
Speaker 11 (23:23):
She was stuck seeing her brother like that. She couldn't
think of anything with him. She lied to the dock.
She told him she got hurt to get him over
and goulden me woke up.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Goold he the third man?
Speaker 11 (23:35):
Yeah, yeah, he's the one who did the gun work
in Carson City.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
We knew we.
Speaker 11 (23:40):
Couldn't let the doc go unless movie has died or
else got better, so we'd get out of here. We
was trapped more than the dock was. That's why I
had a plan on his house and pick your.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I think you're talking straight with his rain.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
I help you, huh, I got much reason not to
have it.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well, I must have been some talk about where you'd
go if you had to leave.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
We never did get to that.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I know where they were, brother. I tell you.
Speaker 11 (24:04):
Can believe that I'm not aching to take all this
by myself.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
He was able and willing to supply some more pertinent information,
such as a description of the other man googled and
the model and licensed number of the car they were driving.
Even with that, it looked like the case would stretch
over into the next day. But at eleven thirty, Lieutenant
Hughes got a phone call from Petaluma, a small town
some thirty miles north of San Francisco. All that drug
store and Bruggers was handled. A prescription for a painkiller
(24:35):
that he had his doubts about was filled up by
a doctor. A wish to called the sheriff's office, and
they have a man on the customer. Yeah, this is probably.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
A sheriff hills behind me.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
You get to lay out of this place. I guess
all these motels are about the same driveway up the
middle rooms on each sh and it puts another trouble
on this sign, I guess, so I wondered if it
was the one with the light showing into the countion.
I'll put you two men to watch this set.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
But I don't think there's a way out except the driveway.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
All right, churv Yeah, I think we're ready to go in.
Number twelve was in the middle of the row of
accommodations on the right. Only three of us went to
the door, and none of us expected trouble. Certainly none
of us expected the kind of trouble they found. Yes, police,
(25:39):
where's doctor Wish? Police? I am doctor Wish.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
I'll stay outside of the town.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Oh chuck, you know al right, doctor Wish. Yes, instead
of surprise when you answered the door. Where are the others?
I am Mobius, her brother, the man named Gould. They
they're here.
Speaker 12 (25:59):
Where in the bedroom. I like to tell you I
have killed them all.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Sat down, I'm not the wish. I'm gonna go take
a look, doll. Tell me what happened.
Speaker 12 (26:16):
I killed him when we left the city. I knew
I would I I'd have to uh die myself. I
told Gould only one thing would save Movius, and wrote
the prescription, and I killed him with it, the wounded
man with an injection, the others internally and water.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And Movia's too, Yeah, and Movius.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
Too with her brother sh she was with him. She
told me she wasn't She told me she I, I
didn't believe. I didn't believe. Not the wish she told 'em.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Be course, Lieutenant Hughes, well you have to get him
to a doctor. He's got some of that stuff himself.
(27:20):
Expense account Adam Too Miscellaneous one hundred and forty dollars
and fifty cents. Item three same as Item one, Transportation
back to Hartford expense account total five hundred and seventy
seven dollars and forty cents. Remarks. We got doctor Wish
to a doctor in time to save his life. So
your policy holder, although alive, is also a triple mirror.
He claims it was justifiable, but at the same time
(27:42):
it was premeditated, so there's a fine line to draw.
What I keep remembering is that his daughter Cecil said
he had reached the dangerous age, and I guess he
had yours truly Johnny Dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:09):

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh yes, Do I understand that.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
You're in San Francisco because of the disappearance.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Of my husband.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
That's right, Missus Wish. The doctor's insurance companies seem to
feel that the circumstances deserves them looking into it.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Is very strange and I'm quite frightened.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I know you must be upset, and I know that
the police about it you quite a bit. But I
wonder if I could come out and talk to you.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Of course, mister Dollar, only one thing is important. That
is to learn that my husband is alive and safe.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Please feel free to come any time that's convenient to you.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Edmund O'Brien and a transcribed adventure of the man with
the action back to Expenser Cab America is fabulous. Freelance
insurance investigator.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense account submitted by a special investigator,
Johnny Dolla to home office, Washingtonian Life Insurance Company at Hartford, Connecticut.
The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation
(01:14):
of the Malcolm Wish MD matter. Expense account. I had
won two hundred and eighteen dollars and forty five cents
arefair incidentals between Hartford and San Francisco. There After a
phone call to his wife, I went to the home
of the missing doctor Wish, which was situated about halfway
up Fashionable Knob Hill.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Good morning, oh.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Missus Wishes expecting me. My name is Dollar, Yes she is.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
You're the insurance here, that's right. I'm the daughter. My
name is Cecil. Do you learn anything about father?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Not yet, but I just got here this morning.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
You should have realized that I'd like to talk to
you about it.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Do you mean you think you know some other things
that other people don't, some other people you haven't told
the police.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
No, I didn't like the man who came here, Lieutenant Hugh.
I don't want to talk to you. And after you've
seen her?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Sure anything you're saying? Where you're staying the Cleveland Hotel
on Saturn.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
I'm going to be downtown. I'll meet you at the
coffee shop at noon.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Okay, see, so I'll be there. Where can I find
your mother?
Speaker 6 (02:24):
The second door leads to the morning room in the
view of the bay. He's waiting to just walk right
in and don't mention what I said to you.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
All right, I'll see you later. Yeah, this is Welsha. Yes,
I was told to come right in. I'm Johnny Dallah.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Oh, yes, I've been waiting. Come and sit down.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'll take up as little of your time as possible,
missus Wisha.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
It's quite all right.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I understand the last time you saw your husband was
his night before last, when he left the house to
make a professional call.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Would you tell me about it? Please?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I only wish I knew more about it. My husband
very seldom accepts night calls.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
But night before last the phone rang and he talked
for a moment, and then he left.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
What time is that?
Speaker 6 (03:09):
A little past nine?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Isn't it his habit to let you know where he's
going when he goes out at nine?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
No, I'm afraid it isn't anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Once it was, yes, and you didn't hear him mention
the name of the patient that called him.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
No, I was out of the room, and he answered the.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Phone himself, and he must have said something to him.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Well, he seemed to be in a hurry, and he
told me he'd be back in an hour.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Or so that it was an emergency.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Naturally, we assumed that it was one of his regular patients,
So yesterday my daughter and I started phoning them.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
We got the name from doctor Schubert.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
He's the other doctor in your husband's office.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yes, I believe he's called some of Malcolm's patients too,
but none of them seem to have phoned that night.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Oh, I'm terribly worried, mister Dollar.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
We'll do everything we can. How do I get to
his office from here? Missus? Wish?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
It's in the tide building on Post You can.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Take the cable car on the corner and it'll drop
you to half a lock away.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Thanks, he'll be in touch with it.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
Right in, mister Dollar.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
I am sorry I was so brief with you on
the phone at a patient in the office at the time.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's perfectly all right, doctor Humean.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
It wouldn't help matters to Discuslockolm's disappearance in front of him,
you know how tongues.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
Rag or Please be seated.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
It is true that this situation is not yet common knowledge.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
The papers have left it alone. How did you hide
the truth when you've phoned his patients?
Speaker 8 (04:30):
Well, oh, of course you have met with his wife.
She was insistent that I do that, But it is
not my duty, I thought, at least at this time.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Do you not agree? I suppose so if you don't
think doctor Witch is in danger.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
I don't jump to that conclusion until I see some reason.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
The man has disappeared, doctor.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Many men have disappeared. Doctor Vish is fifty two years old.
He has practiced here.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
In San Francisco for more than twenty years before that
is Seattle. The last two months I have noticed a
change in him or tiring. He was no longer satisfied
with his life.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Are you inferring that he might have ducked out on
his own?
Speaker 7 (05:10):
Perhaps even amnesia?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Does it sound like amnesia for a man to answer
the phone, tell his wife he'll be home in a
short time, pick up his medical kit, and drive away
in his car.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Who knows about Alicia?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Does an amnesia victim go to the trouble of keeping
a car hidden from the police of three states?
Speaker 8 (05:26):
It would depend on the type of amlitia.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I didn't think there were types, So you must mean
voluntary or involuntary. If he did just suddenly drop his
life here and you know that to be the case.
Speaker 8 (05:39):
I know nothing, Doctor Wish and I.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Discussed very little but medical matters.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
I repeat that, I realized that for two months or
longer he was not a happy man. If he has
made arrangements to have changed that, I do not know,
but it is a possibility.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
He wouldn't tell me if he were in trouble over
his practice, would you? I would not.
Speaker 8 (05:59):
But I'm sure that doctor Vish is, to the best
of my knowledge, a highly ethical amount of machine.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You are probably being cooperative, doctor, but I am not
sure whether it's with Wayshore, with the police and me.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
I am simply without the information.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I have an appointment in fifteen minutes, and I'd
like to come back this afternoon and get a list
of his patients.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
Go.
Speaker 8 (06:21):
I'll welcome, but please mention it to the receptionist on
the way out.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
She'll be happy together the information for you.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Good afternoon. So would you prefer a table of the.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Contact I'm supposed to meet someone here at.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Noon five after Yeah, I know, well, I.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Don't say it. I guess she's lighter than I am.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Would it have been a miss Wish?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh, yes, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Then if you or mister Dollar.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
She phoned and asked me to tell you that she
wasn't able to lunch with you, but that she would
be reached.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
By phone at her home anytime after two.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I see, thanks very much. I'll take the counter might
as Raba Sanders. I didn't suspect Cecil's motives until I
left the coffee shop. Then I realized I was being followed.
I kept my eyes pretty much off the man, but
so enough to describe him medium height and a broad shoulders.
Soup and the hair that hiwed below a hat was
(07:32):
so white blonde that I thought it must have been bleached.
He followed me to a drug store when I phoned
Lieutenant Hughes, the detective on the case. Then my shadow
followed me aboard a market street bus and dropped off
a block after I did. He was lounging on a
corner when I went into police headquarters. I'm glad to
(07:54):
have you in town. Dolly. Well, I don't have anything
to give you. I put out a description of the
doctor in his car, and I've been running along. I
don't have to for a few more days with something
break I had taken. You have talked to the other doctor,
and yeah, and he hinted that doctor Wish dropped out
of sight. Yeah, happened itself. Doesn't happen to be a crime,
not yet anyway. Things like that sometimes crowned the law
(08:14):
against insurance fraud. Lieutenant, well, not for a while. I
don't think I'm passing yourself without reason. But the information
I have now is down a little I can do
except to wait and see if the wife doesn't get
a brush off by mail from Alaska someplace that's legal.
If you have a line on any women in design
that doesn't necessarily have to be one, does it? It
helps sometimes the any reason why somebody should be tailing me,
(08:38):
tailing you? Winter spotted right after I had lunch at
the Cleveland Hotel coffee shop. When do you think the
table was put on? I'm not sure. I went out
to the Wish house this morning. From there, I went
to his office. From there to the coffee shop, and
I came here. Hm. Any idea, Yeah, I've got an
idea that a man who wants to drop out of
sight wouldn't risk drawing attention to himself by putting a
(08:59):
tail and somebody who's looking for him, Jill, hardly, it's
all right with you. I'd like to leave things the
way they are. I wanted to let you know about it,
but I think we got to let him play for
a while. I'll go along with thing. I got some
good men I could put on it, but there's always
the chance of tipping him. I'd leave him alone. Maybe
he's only a hungry tourist who thinks I might lead
him to a good stake. He followed me back to
(09:29):
the doctor's office, and he was waiting for me fifteen
minutes later when I up with the names, addresses, and
phone numbers of what I'd been told were all the
patients of doctor Wish. By this time I was learning
a few things about the man following me. He was
good at it, unobtrusive, not too eager, yet never losing me,
though I didn't make myself too easy to follow. I
let my dad I watched me buy some stationary and
(09:50):
a patent in my hotel, and I went up to
my room, hoping he'd relax downstairs. I checked in the
carter three times in the next half hour, and then
at two fifteen I phoned the Wish house. Oh just Wish, Yes,
(10:11):
who's this mister Dollar.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Oh, I'm sir about not meeting.
Speaker 10 (10:14):
If something came up.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
That I couldn't get out of, you may have more
trouble getting out than even you figure it on.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
What'd you say?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
It doesn't look good when you promise information then don't
show up to give it. What did you really make
that date and then not show up?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
You couldn't help if there wasn't anything I could do
about it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
What is this information you have? You can give it
to me, now, can't you? Hie?
Speaker 6 (10:30):
With the phone?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I'll come up there, oh, because mother will be here.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
I'll have to meet you someplace. Are you at your hotel?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I can be anytime. You say where?
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Then the bar?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I think it had better be my room?
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Well?
Speaker 10 (10:39):
What all right? I'll be there at eight thirty?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Which one is it?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Eight thirty? Why so late?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Mother will be here and I'll have to sneak out.
It sound as if you've.
Speaker 10 (10:49):
Learned something, have you?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
We'll talk about it when you get here. The room
is three two three. Don't stop at the desk, Come
right up to the third floor and wait near the elevators.
I'll be a minute or so late. Why do I
have to mind be here? If you stand me up again?
I'll see that the police make the next date with you.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Why are you there?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
So? Will I say so? Goodbye? I left as soon
as I'd hung up, and led my shadow away from
the hotel before I thought there could have been any
contact between him and Cecil Wish. I kept him moving
the rest of the afternoon and away from phones as
(11:26):
much as possible while I called on some of the
missing doctor's patients. I arranged it so that he couldn't
have seen her go into the hotel, and still when
I reached the third floor, she wasn't waiting for me.
When I spotted Lieutenant Hughes leaning against my door, I
thought I knew why I've been trying to do my job.
(11:48):
Do you scare a girl away from here? Or did
you notice there was a time and place? Tell me
is this man will stop tailing you? No, he's waiting
across the street from the entrance fly. Lieutenant Doctor Wisher's coat, shoes,
and the suicide note were found on the gold Cap
Bridge about an hour ago. M Nathan, is Bunny, not yet,
and now explain for what possible reason this guy should
(12:10):
have been tailing you. We will return you to the

(12:59):
with our star.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Addmond O'Brien, we return you to the second act of Yours, truly,
Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
As it turned out, the Lieutenant and I, instead of
playing at smart, should have colored the blonde shadow hours before.
But the boat had sailed by the time we got
down to the street. He disappeared, An alarm was broadcast
on his description, and Lieutenant Hughes and I went up
to the wish address.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
This doesn't impossible.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I steel myself to accept almost any kind of horrible
news and accidents, some sudden illness, anything, but not this.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Didn't your husband in any way show that he might
have been the fund. In no way was there any
trouble between you and him.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
We were normally happy little stats cecils? Yes, Mother, was
there anything hidden from me? Was your father unhappy because
of something that you knew about?
Speaker 6 (14:01):
And I did not that I know of.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Mother, you've seen that note? Missus wish?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yes, I've seen the note.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And you are still sure he wrote it?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
I wish. I weren't so sure.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I'm sorry that it has to be brought up. But
it sounded as if he were pretty unhappy about his life.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Whatever it was, he kept it hidden. I haven't an inkling.
We've been so happy.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The other doctor in his office thought that he might
not have been so happy.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Then, Doctor Hubert was aware of something I knew nothing about.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Perhaps I was blind?
Speaker 11 (14:29):
Oh are you?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I'm awful?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Talk about he's doing quite well? Does you think you not.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
As well as you are?
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I'm not trying.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Being honest? Father's not dead, and I think she knows.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Be glad yourself? Sure?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Not as suicide from the grolden Gate Bridge. That's too
much going out in.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
The other room. We'll be back on in lieutenant, Where.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Are you going to come right back? Mother? Father had
no reason to take it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Why do you think it's happened?
Speaker 12 (15:01):
Then?
Speaker 10 (15:01):
I was going to tell you what I thought when
we planned to meet at noon, cause it changed my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Is there a change of mind? What came up that
you couldn't get out of it?
Speaker 10 (15:08):
It's harder to get away from him a lot of things.
First I thought that he was playing a dirty trick
on me. Then I wondered if I wouldn't be playing
a dirty or one on him by telling you.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
About it, he would changed her mind about meeting me
at seven too.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
He got the news about the things on the bridge
just as I was.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
Leaving fathers reached what they call a dangerous age. I
guess it is he finally fell in love.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I don't envy him. Doctor Hubert diagnosed it as possible amnesia.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Typical Huber diagnosis.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
I don't think he knows about things, but you found out,
of course I did.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
I wasn't taken in by these night calls at all.
I followed him. I even talked to her without her
knowing who I was. She's nice, and I felt like
a chaperone.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
What's her name?
Speaker 6 (15:49):
M movies?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Did she talk you and alluring me to that coffee champ?
Speaker 6 (15:53):
What are you mean?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I was out of that guy that was following me
from the time I left there.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
I don't know what you mean, stopt At.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I let him right over the police headquarters and told
Lieutenant Hughes about him with your dollar.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The guy was good. I had half a hunch he
might be a private detective. But then when I realized
how well practiced he was on melting away from the police,
I began to wonder, there's a police alarm out on
him now, so you'll save a lot of time and
trouble by telling me who and where we can find him.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I think I made you go there so you could
be followed.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I was followed. Why you put me in that coffee show?
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Why were you following?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Because I was looking for your father? You know that.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
I don't know what it is. You don't know anything
about her. She's younger than father're.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
About thirty four or five, married, a single.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
I don't know where.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Does she live, Wesley.
Speaker 10 (16:32):
It's an apartment of building on Dennis. I thought they'd
run away together.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Maybe give me the apartment number, Lieutenant, and I'll go
and see. He could be the next one stick it
slough no voices.
Speaker 13 (16:57):
Wait a minute, Oh, I guess now it was a.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Light showing under the door. Though we try it.
Speaker 13 (17:14):
Yeah, sort here, I'll get it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I'd close the door and lead to her bedroom. Yeah,
let's try it. Hold it there on the floor. Uh,
man suit coat, suit cut. Let's see that. Look at
the sign here. Yeahs dry blood, a lot of it.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Children.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Look here, fellows home un a knife. H the labels
as boy as constan citing and that it. Yeah, that's
looking there. Couple outshitch. Uh yeah h. There's the shirt
(18:09):
that was over the croup. There are more bloodstains on
the bed. There's something more, Lieutenant. It figures that doctor
Wish was here, all right. M There was a metal
waste basket in the bathroom doorway. In it was a
large amount of surgical dressing, all blood stained. It told
(18:30):
of a wound that had been dressed and re dressed
a number of times. Other things in the room fell
into place a sales slip from Mills Department store in
San Francisco. It was in receipt of the purchase of
a man's shirt and jacket, probably to replace the bloodstained
ones left in the apartment. The slip was date at
PM the current day, which was Thursday, And finally on
the dresser we found a day old Nevada newspaper. The
(18:53):
front page item that seemed to fit reported unidentified trio
murders and robs Carson City bet maker Dyang Men believed
to have wounded one of his assailants. All the time, figures,
all right, leave and then they could have got the
San Francis by eight or so. Then if the actor disappeared,
there are a couple of stands in town to carry
out of state papers? Are they old? So this one
must have been bought today and we didn't miss him
by far, Lieutenant, According to the signs, this guy has
(19:15):
been pretty bad shape. To get him out of this
building without drawing attention, they'd have to do it after dark,
don't you think? I think they were plenty rushed. I'd
done something to cover up the tracks here at that time,
doctor Wish's coat and stuff on the Golden Gate bridge
when is that lee? Almost any place quite open once
you're across the bridge. But the blonde man who was
still following me when I met you at the hotel
after sticking together this far, would they leave him or
(19:35):
come back after him? So I thought, I'm going to
get on the phone out here and put some man
on it. I'll check the tenants on this floor and
see if the building managers come in yet. I'll meet
you at your office. I got nothing from the building.
The woman and movies hadn't lived there long enough to
become friendly with anyone. The manager knew that she had
(19:57):
received men visitors now and then, but that was all
m Nobody had seen an injured man enter or leave.
An hour later, in Lieutenant Hughes's ovis, I learned that
the police had had better luck than I had. I
got on the telet at the Carson City. Your description
of the blond man fits with the having a man
named ned Ring records in Nevada, Nutah. Anybody would have
(20:17):
like that, never should have tried to be a criminal here,
And I gave him the name Movius. They haven't Allen
Movius no record, but no one associated this ned Ring,
so it figured no next to Kenon Movius. I suppose no.
But he must be a brother to the woman, unless
that's her married name. Anyway, they never heard of her.
She's clear as far as working, sir, mm, yeah, and
(20:41):
I guess she just happened to know. Hella right, Well
that's the name only Oh good? Put him in a room.
We were right down on was a your blonde friend?
He was picked up boarding an airport limousine. Well, Ring,
(21:13):
I'm glad to see you. Look, I don't know what
any of this is all about. You don't write the
homie Ring. Did your buddies duck out on you? What
do you mean my buddies duck out of me? Where
were you flying to when you got picked up?
Speaker 11 (21:23):
The other cop got my ticket? It says La. I
got a right to go to.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
La, haven't they? Is that where your buddies are going?
Speaker 11 (21:29):
What buddies? I was going along?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Why weren't you going to Carson City?
Speaker 6 (21:33):
Look?
Speaker 11 (21:33):
What's eating you to? It must have me mixed up
with somebody else.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Your name is not Ring, isn't it. How do you
think we found out what your name was? Well?
Speaker 11 (21:41):
You had it all old me. The other cop got
my wallets.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
We had your name before you were picked up. We
got it from Carson City? Will you give me this stuff?
Maybe he doesn't know he doesn't. You don't think you
followed me all day without my catching onto it? Do you?
I never saw you before? How about a doctor Malcolm
Wish movie. I'm not talking a couple of men on
the way from Carson City. Maybe you'd rather wait and
talk of them.
Speaker 11 (22:04):
I don't know anything about anybody in Carson City.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yes you do. Ring. It started out to be an
unidentified trio that killed that bet maker in Carson City.
But it isn't anymore. We've got your on AM, and
we've got another one Alan Movies, and we've got a
link between Anne Lovius and the doctor that disappeared the
other night. He was held in an apartment on van Ness.
He took care of one of your buddies who'd been shot.
That's a kidnapping right now, it looks like another murder.
You try to set it up like a suicide. But
if you went off that bridge, he was pushed.
Speaker 11 (22:28):
I don't know anything about what that pat, What are
you talking about?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Get off it ring. You're tied up. They left your ring,
didn't they. They had to get out of that apartment
while they had you off tailing me around town. They left,
and they left one hundred leagues pointing right at you.
That's why you're here. They even left the newspaper with
a story of that Carson City killing. They really rot
it out on you?
Speaker 7 (22:47):
Yeah, yeah they should did?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Did they all right? Where they go?
Speaker 11 (22:52):
I don't know they did, don't think I wouldn't tell you.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
They pulled out before you saw me go into my
hotel about age thirty.
Speaker 11 (22:59):
Yeah, I guess was it?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Who was the one that was woted?
Speaker 11 (23:01):
Movies couldn't just leave him the body or we should
have kept yelling about a sister. And Fresco was friends
with a doctor, so he drove him all away here.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
How bad is movies? Pretty bad?
Speaker 11 (23:13):
Slug is inside him someplace?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
How far do you think they could drive with him?
Speaker 11 (23:17):
I didn't think he could be moved out of that
apartmentre like killing him?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Where does the sister stand in all this?
Speaker 7 (23:22):
No place?
Speaker 11 (23:23):
She was stuck seeing her brother like that. She couldn't
think of anything with him. She lied to the dock.
She told him she got hurt to get him over
and goulden me woke up.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Goold he the third man?
Speaker 11 (23:35):
Yeah, yeah, he's the one who did the gun work
in Carson City.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
We knew we.
Speaker 11 (23:40):
Couldn't let the doc go unless movie has died or
else got better, so we'd get out of here. We
was trapped more than the dock was. That's why I
had a plan on his house and pick your.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I think you're talking straight with his rain.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
I help you, huh, I got much reason not to
have it.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well, I must have been some talk about where you'd
go if you had to leave.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
We never did get to that.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I know where they were, brother. I tell you.
Speaker 11 (24:04):
Can believe that I'm not aching to take all this
by myself.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
He was able and willing to supply some more pertinent information,
such as a description of the other man googled and
the model and licensed number of the car they were driving.
Even with that, it looked like the case would stretch
over into the next day. But at eleven thirty, Lieutenant
Hughes got a phone call from Petaluma, a small town
some thirty miles north of San Francisco. All that drug
store and Bruggers was handled. A prescription for a painkiller
(24:35):
that he had his doubts about was filled up by
a doctor. A wish to called the sheriff's office, and
they have a man on the customer. Yeah, this is probably.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
A sheriff hills behind me.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
You get to lay out of this place. I guess
all these motels are about the same driveway up the
middle rooms on each sh and it puts another trouble
on this sign, I guess, so I wondered if it
was the one with the light showing into the countion.
I'll put you two men to watch this set.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
But I don't think there's a way out except the driveway.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
All right, churv Yeah, I think we're ready to go in.
Number twelve was in the middle of the row of
accommodations on the right. Only three of us went to
the door, and none of us expected trouble. Certainly none
of us expected the kind of trouble they found. Yes, police,
(25:39):
where's doctor Wish? Police? I am doctor Wish.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
I'll stay outside of the town.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Oh chuck, you know al right, doctor Wish. Yes, instead
of surprise when you answered the door. Where are the others?
I am Mobius, her brother, the man named Gould. They
they're here.
Speaker 12 (25:59):
Where in the bedroom. I like to tell you I
have killed them all.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Sat down, I'm not the wish. I'm gonna go take
a look, doll. Tell me what happened.
Speaker 12 (26:16):
I killed him when we left the city. I knew
I would I I'd have to uh die myself. I
told Gould only one thing would save Movius, and wrote
the prescription, and I killed him with it, the wounded
man with an injection, the others internally and water.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And Movia's too, Yeah, and Movius.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
Too with her brother sh she was with him. She
told me she wasn't She told me she I, I
didn't believe. I didn't believe. Not the wish she told 'em.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Be course, Lieutenant Hughes, well you have to get him
to a doctor. He's got some of that stuff himself.
(27:20):
Expense account Adam Too Miscellaneous one hundred and forty dollars
and fifty cents. Item three same as Item one, Transportation
back to Hartford expense account total five hundred and seventy
seven dollars and forty cents. Remarks. We got doctor Wish
to a doctor in time to save his life. So
your policy holder, although alive, is also a triple mirror.
He claims it was justifiable, but at the same time
(27:42):
it was premeditated, so there's a fine line to draw.
What I keep remembering is that his daughter Cecil said
he had reached the dangerous age, and I guess he
had yours truly Johnny Dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
