Speaker 1 (00:00):
From Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
It's time now for Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Dollen.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
A plane crash, Johnny, did you hear?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Yes, I just turned off my radio. Oh it's horrible.
Who is this?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Oh, I'm sorry, it's Sam Harris, Columbia.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Oh. Sure, does your company carry the policies on that airline?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yes, but I'm not thinking of that.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
That crash was planned.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
They're definite about it now.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yes, an explosion, some kind of a bomb. There were
thirteen people killed in the plane. They don't know how
many in the houses have crashed into We've got to
place responsibility. The company wants to do whatever it can.
We've got to find whoever is responsible.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Sure, mister Harris, you want me to go out, Yes,
we do.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
The airline representative is a man named Reed. Go out
and do everything you.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Can O'Brien in a transcribed Adventure of the Man with
the action packed expenser car America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yours Truly, Johnny Dallar. Expense account submitted by Special Investigator
Johnny Dallar to Home Office, Columbia or Risk Insurance Company.
The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation
(01:15):
of the Fairway matter. The Spenser account Item one two
fifty cab fair of the scene of the plane crash, which,
as unoch covered quite a bit of territory. The Fairway
Airlines plane had taken off at eight twenty PM, had
reached an altitude of no more than a thousand feet,
and then had crashed, setting a fire two houses a
short distance from the Springfield Hartford Airport. I got there
(01:43):
a little after nine thirty. One house had been partially saved,
but the other had been completely demolished. The family of
four living in it had been killed. The parents of
one child in the first house weren't expected to live,
and beyond twisted pieces of a plane were scattered at
a field. Fragman is still smoking and turned white by
(02:03):
the phone from chemical extinguisher.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Serene. Mister Carl Reen over here?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
What is he?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Please and wait.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
In your car. Will let you know as soon as
we're care. Yes, who you are from? My name is Doma,
the insurance company said insurance company. Good lord, this is
hardly the time to worry about money. I'm a private
investigator that hired me to help him any way I
can and pick the plane I'm sorry, I misundissitude.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I guess I.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh, you will have to excuse me. This is good.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Who there are some things I have to do.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Come along, mister g Gee. I just know about the explosion,
and she thinks since the chance where her daughter wasn't
on the plane she was, she was stewardous. You haven't
told her. I let her hope for a couple of
more hours. Why shouldn't I I've had to tell too
many people. It's it's just horrible. I think, even worse
(03:09):
than if it had been an accident, and you know
it was premeditated. When you know someone planned it, What
kind of person would would you have to beat it
to plan something like this. It's under believed, mister aid,
but we have proof it was an explosion in the
extreme after section that destroyed all the control cables to
the tailor's head. I don't suppose the Civil Aeronautics man,
(03:31):
as we know it was on his way as sending
one of their best s W. Newton, Captain Lenhard of
the State nieces here though. Oh, I'd like to speak
to him, and you have any idea where he is
the last time I saw him he was doubled by
that amph it's left, but to see the group of
men over by the hangar. Yeah, they collected the bodies.
(03:53):
There mayde as many identifications as possible. I know it's planned,
mister Reid, but don't you go at pieces, Hi, That
wouldn't help him. I'll be all right, help I'll see
you let out. I remembered Captain Jim Lenhard, my case
(04:13):
we shared last year, and I found him in the
group of silent man. The silence and the expressions told
better than words how they felt about the row of
sheet draped bodies on the ground. I was readmaking up.
I thought he was going to pieces a little while ago.
He's still in pretty bad shape. You he's not alone.
But for us anyway, Dollar, it could have been worse,
(04:34):
plane could have been filled. Yeah, it crossed my mind,
and you and I are thinking together, Captain, that our
approach will be to find out, if we can, which
victim was the planned victim. Oh, with what we have now,
I don't see any other way to start, do you.
The possibilities as I see them, a murder with a motive,
suicide disguised, or a homicidal maniac that must cover I
(04:59):
have men covering airport for a two mile circle around it.
Their orders are to question everybody at this spot, search
every car. It's about all we can do tonight. Now,
I'll see you in the morning. Then if it's all right,
view it sure is. Glad to heavy on the case.
I'll Mitchell in my office at nine. Good. Oh, there's
another ambulance, and get the rest of these poor devils
(05:19):
into the morgue. Try to find out who they are.
The next morning, the official findings were released. The explosive
had been nitro glycerin that had been detonated by some
electrical means, which it was assumed was connected to a
timing device that had not yet been found. Captain Lenhardt's
(05:42):
men had questioned the number of suspicious characters near the
airport without result, but he himself had received an anonymous
tip on a possible suspect, a Wilbo Wheeler, who was
a member of the ground crew that had serviced the
plane just before its takeoff. Wheeler was shown to the
Captain's aves about forty minutes after I'd gone. Man, why'd you.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Pick me to come up here? Why didn't you get
Straker or Mills? They're over me.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It's just routine wheeling, routine, but you must.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Have a reason. I got a right to know if
you got a reason have at.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Night, why do you think we started with you?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Well, I'm asking you.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And I said, Wieler. Can't you say you don't know
the stewardess who died in that crash? Surely good you?
I know, I know. I understand that she meant something
to him. Were you in love with her? Yes, we
understand that you made quite a pest of yourself phoning
her at home, waiting for her at the airport, and
then a week or so ago you learned she was
going to marry the co pilot who was killed. What's
(06:34):
his name, Bill Strand? Wasn't it Willna? Yeah, you're saying
that you think I caused that crash. You wanted to
know why you were here. I told you it was
just routine wheeling, and it would have been if you'd
acted differently. But it sounded as though you were trying
to hide some facts from us. I won't anymore. Don't.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I don't have any reason to?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And why did you?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I don't know. I've been going crazy since I heard
about it. Last night. I was still at the field night,
I got sick and.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I had to go home. Yeah, we heard about that.
I got home and I turned on my radio and
I heard what caused the crash, that explosion. I knew
that a lot of things I've said, a lot of
things I'd done were gonna make trouble for me.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Even getting sick and coming home was bad.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
What were some of the other things? I said some
pretty bad things to Shirley when I heard she was
gonna marry Strand. Then I had a fight with him.
I had to fight with him over the same thing. Well,
I guess for me, it was really over that. He
ordered me around one day and I didn't like it,
and that's how it started.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
He beat me up pretty bad and said he'd have
my job.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And I told him that I'd see the day as
playing with him in it would be plastered to get
some hill.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I know it sounds like na, but it didn't mean anything.
It was just talk.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
There's plenty of that. Ah, you heard enough, noll And,
I think so that's all went winter, I can go. Yeah,
nobody would be stupid enough to compromise himself the way
you did and pull a job like.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
This, and sure made a lot of mistakes.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I know that. Yeah, just be around where we can
find you if we wanna talk to you anymore.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
But I can't go back to the airport, Sir, I
was gonna call him and quit if.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Sorright, w you just be where we can find you,
That's all I will. I'm sorry. A lot of people
are Wheeler. Oh no, well, goodbye Winner, thanks for coming down. Yes, sir,
what do you think?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The only reason I say I for get him is
because he's the first one we'd questioned, and things don't
work out that way. Yeah, Collins. Uh. The man just
leaving my office names Wheeler, Wilbur Wheeler. How two of
the boys get on him and stay all arranged? Were
leading tonight? Yeah, I think I'd like to know it's
in his background. I'd like to get a psychiatrist's reaction,
(08:54):
wouldn't you we learned about him. No, let's get on
this list of passengers and see what we can get
from their survivors. We spent the rest of the day
in the efforts of six more of Captain Lenhart's men
preparing files on the ten dead passengers. One file contained
nothing but a name Rupert Stone, gotten from the ticket
(09:16):
office records is that of a man who had paid
cash for space to Augusta, Maine. The heart for address
he had given was non existent, and the phone number
rang a bakery where no one had ever heard of
a Rupert Stone. That one we dropped until the accurate
identification of the bodies was complete. Lenhard and I started
out to follow up a couple of the others that evening.
(09:40):
This is a rock and work check. Missus Graham, Yes,
this is mister Dollar. I'm Captain Lenhart of the State Police.
We'd like to talk to you about the death of
your husband.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
No, I've talked too much.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It only keeps in my mind the things I saw
in that field. The women's crying. We know, Missus Graham,
but it's our job to fix the responsibility. We only
want to ask you a few questions. You ought to
help find whoever caused all those desks if you could,
wouldn't you?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
How can I have?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Man? May we come in all right, but only a
little while I haven't slept. Uh? Thank you? Well?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
No, Skipper be.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Quiet, he knows poor old dog. Very soon he will
die and then I'll be alone. M Please sit down.
M thank you. Miss grant. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Uh
uh missus grahamy your husband be yes, uh well he
(10:49):
he bought space to Boston.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
They yes, his brother.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Is very bad m he was a religious man. Quite
often he would go to visit his brother's grave. I see, Uh,
I I think that's all we needed. Wasn't a dollar
to to recheck his planting? Yeah? Uh yes, I I
think that was only I. I think we'd better go.
Weren't sorry to bothered you, missus Graham? And uh, thank
(11:16):
you very much for seeing alright, Yes, thanks very much. Oh,
don't bother to get up. You don't have to come
to the door with us. Good night, good night night.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Quiet skip her, he won't come back.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I couldn't cut it. Think that dog did it? Sorry,
don't apologize to me. How the did something happened to
be since I was a rookie, forget it. But grilling
a poor old woman to find out if her husband's
cancer might have driven him to suicide and I couldn't
go through it a whole rotten mess. Ah, he gets
(11:56):
getting it so well? Why don't we have a couple
of drinks on the way downtown to get it for
the night? Man or trying to That suits me, you know,
while's on Front Street. That's fine anything, So let's go.
Then I'll hold him from there and have columns check
me off duty.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Yeah, oh you praised to leave.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
No, he had a phone. I'll catch you.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Dollar sixty shirt, thanks, keep it, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Oh here come, I'll wreck up dollar. I guess I'll
have to waste mine because it seems I'm not off duty.
What happened. I'll go back to that stewardess again. The
explosive has been checked to her equipment. The lab men
say some twisted battle lay found used to be our
first aid box. I think it was in there. And
brings Wilbo Wheeler back again too, and he's been picked
up right now. I don't think I need this drink
(12:48):
to get through a session with him.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
We will return you to the second act of yours, truly,
Johnny Dollar. In Just a Moment, Lee Tracy plays his
rollicking screen role of Hildy Johnson newspaperman in Hecton MacArthur's
perennial comedy The Front Page tomorrow night on CBS Broadway Playhouse.
It's an all fun cast headed by Lee Tracy as
Chicago's Hecton MacArthur farce about crime reporters comes to life
(13:27):
once again on Broadway Playhouse tomorrow night, over most of
these same CBS stations. Now, with our star Edmond O'Brien,
we return you to the second act of yours, truly,
Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Not necessarily were not necessarily?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Well, I heard you do.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Did you locate Carl Reibeller? Yeah, he was at home. Well,
a guy's been under doctor's camp that I think I
got what we need. I YouTube been getting along. We'll
have just got here. We were covering the point of
whether or not I have a rife of have him
brought down here?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Maybe I'm wrong?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You are? Didn't you want to come wilden? I guess
I don't like the idea of being poured into a
police car twice in one day, with everybody in the
block gawking at me. A lot of people have been
loaded into police cars today, wheer they were glad to
come in and do anything they could to help clear
this thing up.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I want to help too. I didn't mean it that way.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Glad to hear that. How long have you worked for
the Fairway Airline?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
About a year and a half, I.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Guess what'd you do before that?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
What do you mean? You still think I had something
to do with that crash? That's what you mean it.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
We'd like to find out who did, wouldn't you? But
you think I did it and I didn't. I told
you I didn't, even you said I didn't. And it
sounds like you've got nothing to worry about, So calm
down and answer our question.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I want to know why you're asking questions like that.
Why did you bring me.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Back here because some new evidence has turned up? That's why?
Speaker 4 (15:04):
What does that have to do with me?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
It has to do with Shirley Goodie. I don't know
what you mean. I don't know what you're talking about.
I told you everything there was about her and me.
Did you know that she carried a first aid kid
about the plane last night?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
First aid kid? I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You don't after working there a year and a half,
What did you do on the plane?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Brought food on, checked the water and a few.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Other things things that the stewardess would be involved, and
she'd be there with you, wouldn't she. Yeah, but I
don't know what you're driving and I don't know what
you mean in the back part of the plane. Yes,
Shirley was there and you were there last night. Yeah,
but where did she put a first aid kid wheeler?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Why do you ask me that?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I don't remember. I didn't notice they had a place
they kept it, but I didn't know it. I don't
know I was in it. If I know what you meant,
I don't know why you're asking me these I talked
to mister Reid, so I know about these things. Fairways
non scheduled, and so they have their own particular routines.
One of them is that this first DAI kid is
(16:00):
the stewardess's responsibility. Each one is a kit. They take
it off the plane when they leave, and they bring
it aboard when they report for work.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
The explosive wheeler, the nitroglycerin that was hidden in that
first aid kit, I didn't put it there, that's what
you mean.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
But I didn't know it. I didn't know anything.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
About it enough explosive to tear off the whole tailor side.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I didn't thirteen people in that plane wheel are four
people in One of the houses had crashed into probably
two more, and the other I I didn't do it.
Wilbert Wheeler was turned over to the police psychiatrist because
(16:40):
we couldn't get any father with him, and a lie
detected test was arranged for the following morning. The web
that was tightening around him was only circumstantial, and the
question was did he know that he could keep on
saying he hadn't done it and that we couldn't do
anything without physical proof, or was he innocent. Our last
move that night was to go to whel room. We
(17:01):
were looking for a wire that could be checked to
that used with the explosive. We couldn't find that or
anything else that could be a definite help, but a
couple of things we didn't find seemed strange. Hey, he
said he came home and turned on his radio, But
there isn't a radio here. Maybe we've got him on
a real line, then, h newspapers land hard? Can you
(17:22):
find any I hadn't noticed? Oh, are any? Unless he's
got him out of site someway? Why would he do that? Hum,
I'm in the waste papers to ask you. You'd think
a man as closely connected to this as he was
would wanna find out what the papers were saying, wouldn't
you guilty or innocent? Yeah, uh, I don't know. Dollar,
(17:46):
I'm bushed. Let's drop it for the night, hunt really, uh,
we'll try him again tomorrow. I'll drop you at home
and see about a mile in the morning. The next morning,
Lenhard and I talked to the psychiatrist spend a couple
of hours with Wheeler. In technical terms, what he said
(18:08):
was that Wheeler was definitely suffering from a severe guilt complex.
But whether that meant he had actually committed the crime
or had only wished secretly that harm would come to
his goodhue wasn't clear yet. In terms of evidence, that
meant nothing. The lack of a radio or newspapers in
his room. The doctor tossed off his meaning merely that
Wheeler was hiding from actuality. His captain put it, if
(18:30):
that doctor thinks he helped my metal condition, he's wrong.
That afternoon, there were two developments. The first one was
the report that the results of Wilbert Wheeler's light detector
test were negative, but his reactions put the mark of
guilt all over him. The second came from the Fairway
(18:50):
office of Carl Reid. He'd been unable to locate another
of his stewardesses, and when finally he'd sent someone to
our apartment, she'd been found shot to death. We met
mister Reid at the scene of the second crime. I
I simply had to get back in the job today. Right,
(19:11):
Two of our flights were delayed yesterday because it might
going to pieces. I don't know if I make it easy.
You trying to phone this girl and tell her to
reproach to one of your flights, and when you send
somebody out here, she was found dead. Right. Yes, I
hadn't tried to contact Alice before because I knew that
she and Missus Goodview had been close friends, and I
(19:32):
knew she must have felt almost responsible for her death. Why,
mister Red, Why sh she was scheduled for the flight
the other night? I thought you knew that. No, we didn't.
I wish we had. But I told you that that
night that at the same of the crash, I was
talking to her mother and Missus Goodhughes. Yes, I remember that.
You you said she thought there was a chance that
her daughter wasn't on the plane. I told you the
(19:52):
other girl was scheduled. No, mister read No, you made
it sound like Missus Goodhu thought her daughter was on
a different flight. You didn't say anything out another steward's
good lawd it's all right, it's all right, mister Reid.
The human mind doesn't then follow us, but it can
correct its mistakes. I'll go on and tell us now
that that's all. With everything else, I suppose it didn't
(20:13):
seem important. I know our procedure is less exact than
the larger companies. The girls often traded flights. Why did
you find out about this trade? Not until missus Goodhewe
told me that her daughter had gone to work that night.
You didn't discuss it with her? Buy any chance? Oh?
I I didn't discuss it that night. And I think
(20:36):
we'd better go see missus Goodiere dollar. I think so.
Sergeant Collins over there will be in charge here, mister Reid.
He may want to ask you a few more questions.
All right, Collins, I'm leaving. I'll say you at headquarter.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
MM.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You know what this probably means. The case against Wheeler
is shot second Stewardess. That's a pattern. Everything we've tried
to do is more than nothing. Circumstance gelebt and sometimes
does that. But we were close. We settled on a
stewardess anyway as the intended victim. But it doesn't help
to think that maybe all those people died because of
(21:10):
a mistake. The wrong steward has died in the crash
and the kill. I had to go back to take
care of the right one. Of course, of course, I'll
tell you anything I can. Well, we've just learned that
your daughter wasn't scheduled to be on that plane. This
(21:31):
is good to you. No, she wasn't. Do you know
why she happened to be. We understand that she and
Alice Turner exchange flights quite often. But do you know
how it happened the other night? Well, no, Shirley was
here at home and the phone right now. What time
was that? Please?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Oh, I hardly remember. We'd had an early dinner.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
The plane jock off at eight twenty five. How long
before then? Well, inn hour at least. No, it was
less than that, because Shirley left in such a hurry.
What did she say. Well, she said that one of
the girls was sick and she was going to take
her place on a flight just up to Maine and back,
she said.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
She said she'd be.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Home soon after midnight. I've never liked rush decisions, and
I've always worried when Shirley left in a hurry like that.
She did it quite often.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Yes, they all did. Six of them live here in Hartford.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I never liked it. Did she trade more often with
Alice Turner than the others? Do you know? Well?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
No. It was an agreement, almost a code.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
If one of them couldn't work, one of the others
would fill in well.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And it's possible that Alice Turner called some of the
others before she called your daughter. Yes, it it is possible,
and I wish that I naturally the hope that Captain
(23:01):
Lenhart and I had was that we'd find another of
the stewardess as Alice Turner had talked to and learned
the reasons she had wanted to get out of the
fatal flight. We didn't. She hadn't called any of the others,
and we were left with nothing, nothing but the prospect
of starving the whole investigation over from the beginning. The
(23:22):
enormity of the crime had been in all of our
minds from the first night. We'd never thought it might
have a positive quality, but it did. The horror of
it led to the solving of it. Late that afternoon,
Lenhart and I had found no place from which to
start over. I went back to my apartment building, and
in the car just outside my door is your nick dollar. Huh. Yeah,
(23:46):
can I help you?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
I want to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I think we better side.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I'm pretty busy, I know, yeah, I know, y'all.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
I want to talk about the plane explosion.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Huh. All right, come on in.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Look, I can't stand anymore. I read about Alice Turner
this afternoon, and I can't stand at this all.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
What do you know about it?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Just that all those people killed killed for nothing, and
I partly the plane too. I'm ready to give.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Myself up as you come to me. Then why didn't
you go to the police. Well, you can talk to
somebody like you.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
The police is always putting the cap the state.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Okay, he'll get you anyway, but you'll know what I
really said. Go ahead. His name is Church at the church.
Who is out the church?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
He's the chief pusher for a bigger narcotic Suffitt than
you ever thought they was.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
We've got a few cranks in this case already.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
I know, crank, no crank. Alice Turner was carrying the
stuff for him. She wanted to get out in church
one letter, so she's got smart. She set up a
meeting with a federal man the other night. That's why
she was killed.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
All the rest doesn't make sense. If she'd made this day.
Don't you think the Federals would have been in on this.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Alice didn't tell him who she was or what she
did all this. I'm the one that told her church
was hollower.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I told her the trumper not to go.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
That's my part of it.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I told the church was on with that he'd stop
her some way, some way.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I told her to drop no matter what. I don't
like it. Why would she put Shirley good here on
the spot? Well, Alice didn't know what would happen. I
didn't know who couldn't know he'd Why did he do
anything like that? Why did he? If what you say
is true, he could have stopped us another way. That's
my doing too.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
I kept her out of sight and the other night
I told her to do anything, to stay where she
was and not to go to the field.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
She believed me. Then I called Shirley.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Goode and told her she was sick, and that's why
she didn't go.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
You know how the explosive was that wrecked the plane.
I read today the first aid kid, that's where al
was carried to the stuff, and it was that kid.
How did the good heal girl get it?
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Because she was cold at the last minute, and Alice
had the things in the loft of the field.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And now, look, mister Dollar.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I wouldn't be here. I wasn't the truth.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
It's a peddling rap for me. But I've been reading
these stories about the people that got killed and the
families that I left. I couldn't take it, couldn't take it.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I knew the truth.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And then when Alice was killed there was no reason
for that town what I knew. Are you ready to
go to the policeman? You heard what I got to say.
I'm giving myself up your witness to that. You know
where there's other churches. Yeah, yeah, he and I we
live together, and he'll come with us if I have to.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Sure, Sure, I'll take.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It to him. Say's it, Maria, this is where I
left him. You go in and Callum's here, all right?
Just call him naturally now A right, all right, are
(27:05):
you here? I'm here, You atturney, go away? I got
expense a count item too, miscellaneous twenty three dollars and
(27:26):
forty five cents expensive count total twenty five dollars and
ninety five cents. Remarks, but the cost of the other
people the total hardly seems important, does it. I think
it would be easier if forget the twenty five dollars
than the rest of the matter. So let's do it.
It's truly Johnny Dollar.

Yes, I just turned off my radio. Oh it's horrible.
Who is this?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Oh, I'm sorry, it's Sam Harris, Columbia.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Oh. Sure, does your company carry the policies on that airline?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yes, but I'm not thinking of that.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
That crash was planned.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
They're definite about it now.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yes, an explosion, some kind of a bomb. There were
thirteen people killed in the plane. They don't know how
many in the houses have crashed into We've got to
place responsibility. The company wants to do whatever it can.
We've got to find whoever is responsible.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Sure, mister Harris, you want me to go out, Yes,
we do.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
The airline representative is a man named Reed. Go out

Yours Truly, Johnny Dallar. Expense account submitted by Special Investigator
Johnny Dallar to Home Office, Columbia or Risk Insurance Company.
The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation
(01:15):
of the Fairway matter. The Spenser account Item one two
fifty cab fair of the scene of the plane crash, which,
as unoch covered quite a bit of territory. The Fairway
Airlines plane had taken off at eight twenty PM, had
reached an altitude of no more than a thousand feet,
and then had crashed, setting a fire two houses a
short distance from the Springfield Hartford Airport. I got there
(01:43):
a little after nine thirty. One house had been partially saved,
but the other had been completely demolished. The family of
four living in it had been killed. The parents of
one child in the first house weren't expected to live,
and beyond twisted pieces of a plane were scattered at
a field. Fragman is still smoking and turned white by
(02:03):
the phone from chemical extinguisher.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Serene. Mister Carl Reen over here?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
What is he?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Please and wait.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
In your car. Will let you know as soon as
we're care. Yes, who you are from? My name is Doma,
the insurance company said insurance company. Good lord, this is
hardly the time to worry about money. I'm a private
investigator that hired me to help him any way I
can and pick the plane I'm sorry, I misundissitude.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I guess I.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh, you will have to excuse me. This is good.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Who there are some things I have to do.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Come along, mister g Gee. I just know about the explosion,
and she thinks since the chance where her daughter wasn't
on the plane she was, she was stewardous. You haven't
told her. I let her hope for a couple of
more hours. Why shouldn't I I've had to tell too
many people. It's it's just horrible. I think, even worse
(03:09):
than if it had been an accident, and you know
it was premeditated. When you know someone planned it, What
kind of person would would you have to beat it
to plan something like this. It's under believed, mister aid,
but we have proof it was an explosion in the
extreme after section that destroyed all the control cables to
the tailor's head. I don't suppose the Civil Aeronautics man,
(03:31):
as we know it was on his way as sending
one of their best s W. Newton, Captain Lenhard of
the State nieces here though. Oh, I'd like to speak
to him, and you have any idea where he is
the last time I saw him he was doubled by
that amph it's left, but to see the group of
men over by the hangar. Yeah, they collected the bodies.
(03:53):
There mayde as many identifications as possible. I know it's planned,
mister Reid, but don't you go at pieces, Hi, That
wouldn't help him. I'll be all right, help I'll see
you let out. I remembered Captain Jim Lenhard, my case
(04:13):
we shared last year, and I found him in the
group of silent man. The silence and the expressions told
better than words how they felt about the row of
sheet draped bodies on the ground. I was readmaking up.
I thought he was going to pieces a little while ago.
He's still in pretty bad shape. You he's not alone.
But for us anyway, Dollar, it could have been worse,
(04:34):
plane could have been filled. Yeah, it crossed my mind,
and you and I are thinking together, Captain, that our
approach will be to find out, if we can, which
victim was the planned victim. Oh, with what we have now,
I don't see any other way to start, do you.
The possibilities as I see them, a murder with a motive,
suicide disguised, or a homicidal maniac that must cover I
(04:59):
have men covering airport for a two mile circle around it.
Their orders are to question everybody at this spot, search
every car. It's about all we can do tonight. Now,
I'll see you in the morning. Then if it's all right,
view it sure is. Glad to heavy on the case.
I'll Mitchell in my office at nine. Good. Oh, there's
another ambulance, and get the rest of these poor devils
(05:19):
into the morgue. Try to find out who they are.
The next morning, the official findings were released. The explosive
had been nitro glycerin that had been detonated by some
electrical means, which it was assumed was connected to a
timing device that had not yet been found. Captain Lenhardt's
(05:42):
men had questioned the number of suspicious characters near the
airport without result, but he himself had received an anonymous
tip on a possible suspect, a Wilbo Wheeler, who was
a member of the ground crew that had serviced the
plane just before its takeoff. Wheeler was shown to the
Captain's aves about forty minutes after I'd gone. Man, why'd you.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Pick me to come up here? Why didn't you get
Straker or Mills? They're over me.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It's just routine wheeling, routine, but you must.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Have a reason. I got a right to know if
you got a reason have at.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Night, why do you think we started with you?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Well, I'm asking you.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And I said, Wieler. Can't you say you don't know
the stewardess who died in that crash? Surely good you?
I know, I know. I understand that she meant something
to him. Were you in love with her? Yes, we
understand that you made quite a pest of yourself phoning
her at home, waiting for her at the airport, and
then a week or so ago you learned she was
going to marry the co pilot who was killed. What's
(06:34):
his name, Bill Strand? Wasn't it Willna? Yeah, you're saying
that you think I caused that crash. You wanted to
know why you were here. I told you it was
just routine wheeling, and it would have been if you'd
acted differently. But it sounded as though you were trying
to hide some facts from us. I won't anymore. Don't.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I don't have any reason to?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And why did you?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I don't know. I've been going crazy since I heard
about it. Last night. I was still at the field night,
I got sick and.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I had to go home. Yeah, we heard about that.
I got home and I turned on my radio and
I heard what caused the crash, that explosion. I knew
that a lot of things I've said, a lot of
things I'd done were gonna make trouble for me.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Even getting sick and coming home was bad.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
What were some of the other things? I said some
pretty bad things to Shirley when I heard she was
gonna marry Strand. Then I had a fight with him.
I had to fight with him over the same thing. Well,
I guess for me, it was really over that. He
ordered me around one day and I didn't like it,
and that's how it started.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
He beat me up pretty bad and said he'd have
my job.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And I told him that I'd see the day as
playing with him in it would be plastered to get
some hill.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I know it sounds like na, but it didn't mean anything.
It was just talk.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
There's plenty of that. Ah, you heard enough, noll And,
I think so that's all went winter, I can go. Yeah,
nobody would be stupid enough to compromise himself the way
you did and pull a job like.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
This, and sure made a lot of mistakes.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I know that. Yeah, just be around where we can
find you if we wanna talk to you anymore.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
But I can't go back to the airport, Sir, I
was gonna call him and quit if.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Sorright, w you just be where we can find you,
That's all I will. I'm sorry. A lot of people
are Wheeler. Oh no, well, goodbye Winner, thanks for coming down. Yes, sir,
what do you think?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The only reason I say I for get him is
because he's the first one we'd questioned, and things don't
work out that way. Yeah, Collins. Uh. The man just
leaving my office names Wheeler, Wilbur Wheeler. How two of
the boys get on him and stay all arranged? Were
leading tonight? Yeah, I think I'd like to know it's
in his background. I'd like to get a psychiatrist's reaction,
(08:54):
wouldn't you we learned about him. No, let's get on
this list of passengers and see what we can get
from their survivors. We spent the rest of the day
in the efforts of six more of Captain Lenhart's men
preparing files on the ten dead passengers. One file contained
nothing but a name Rupert Stone, gotten from the ticket
(09:16):
office records is that of a man who had paid
cash for space to Augusta, Maine. The heart for address
he had given was non existent, and the phone number
rang a bakery where no one had ever heard of
a Rupert Stone. That one we dropped until the accurate
identification of the bodies was complete. Lenhard and I started
out to follow up a couple of the others that evening.
(09:40):
This is a rock and work check. Missus Graham, Yes,
this is mister Dollar. I'm Captain Lenhart of the State Police.
We'd like to talk to you about the death of
your husband.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
No, I've talked too much.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It only keeps in my mind the things I saw
in that field. The women's crying. We know, Missus Graham,
but it's our job to fix the responsibility. We only
want to ask you a few questions. You ought to
help find whoever caused all those desks if you could,
wouldn't you?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
How can I have?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Man? May we come in all right, but only a
little while I haven't slept. Uh? Thank you? Well?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
No, Skipper be.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Quiet, he knows poor old dog. Very soon he will
die and then I'll be alone. M Please sit down.
M thank you. Miss grant. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Uh
uh missus grahamy your husband be yes, uh well he
(10:49):
he bought space to Boston.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
They yes, his brother.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Is very bad m he was a religious man. Quite
often he would go to visit his brother's grave. I see, Uh,
I I think that's all we needed. Wasn't a dollar
to to recheck his planting? Yeah? Uh yes, I I
think that was only I. I think we'd better go.
Weren't sorry to bothered you, missus Graham? And uh, thank
(11:16):
you very much for seeing alright, Yes, thanks very much. Oh,
don't bother to get up. You don't have to come
to the door with us. Good night, good night night.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Quiet skip her, he won't come back.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I couldn't cut it. Think that dog did it? Sorry,
don't apologize to me. How the did something happened to
be since I was a rookie, forget it. But grilling
a poor old woman to find out if her husband's
cancer might have driven him to suicide and I couldn't
go through it a whole rotten mess. Ah, he gets
(11:56):
getting it so well? Why don't we have a couple
of drinks on the way downtown to get it for
the night? Man or trying to That suits me, you know,
while's on Front Street. That's fine anything, So let's go.
Then I'll hold him from there and have columns check
me off duty.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Yeah, oh you praised to leave.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
No, he had a phone. I'll catch you.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Dollar sixty shirt, thanks, keep it, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Oh here come, I'll wreck up dollar. I guess I'll
have to waste mine because it seems I'm not off duty.
What happened. I'll go back to that stewardess again. The
explosive has been checked to her equipment. The lab men
say some twisted battle lay found used to be our
first aid box. I think it was in there. And
brings Wilbo Wheeler back again too, and he's been picked
up right now. I don't think I need this drink
(12:48):
to get through a session with him.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
We will return you to the second act of yours, truly,
Johnny Dollar. In Just a Moment, Lee Tracy plays his
rollicking screen role of Hildy Johnson newspaperman in Hecton MacArthur's
perennial comedy The Front Page tomorrow night on CBS Broadway Playhouse.
It's an all fun cast headed by Lee Tracy as
Chicago's Hecton MacArthur farce about crime reporters comes to life
(13:27):
once again on Broadway Playhouse tomorrow night, over most of
these same CBS stations. Now, with our star Edmond O'Brien,
we return you to the second act of yours, truly,
Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Not necessarily were not necessarily?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Well, I heard you do.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Did you locate Carl Reibeller? Yeah, he was at home. Well,
a guy's been under doctor's camp that I think I
got what we need. I YouTube been getting along. We'll
have just got here. We were covering the point of
whether or not I have a rife of have him
brought down here?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Maybe I'm wrong?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You are? Didn't you want to come wilden? I guess
I don't like the idea of being poured into a
police car twice in one day, with everybody in the
block gawking at me. A lot of people have been
loaded into police cars today, wheer they were glad to
come in and do anything they could to help clear
this thing up.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I want to help too. I didn't mean it that way.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Glad to hear that. How long have you worked for
the Fairway Airline?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
About a year and a half, I.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Guess what'd you do before that?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
What do you mean? You still think I had something
to do with that crash? That's what you mean it.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
We'd like to find out who did, wouldn't you? But
you think I did it and I didn't. I told
you I didn't, even you said I didn't. And it
sounds like you've got nothing to worry about, So calm
down and answer our question.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I want to know why you're asking questions like that.
Why did you bring me.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Back here because some new evidence has turned up? That's why?
Speaker 4 (15:04):
What does that have to do with me?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
It has to do with Shirley Goodie. I don't know
what you mean. I don't know what you're talking about.
I told you everything there was about her and me.
Did you know that she carried a first aid kid
about the plane last night?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
First aid kid? I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You don't after working there a year and a half,
What did you do on the plane?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Brought food on, checked the water and a few.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Other things things that the stewardess would be involved, and
she'd be there with you, wouldn't she. Yeah, but I
don't know what you're driving and I don't know what
you mean in the back part of the plane. Yes,
Shirley was there and you were there last night. Yeah,
but where did she put a first aid kid wheeler?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Why do you ask me that?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I don't remember. I didn't notice they had a place
they kept it, but I didn't know it. I don't
know I was in it. If I know what you meant,
I don't know why you're asking me these I talked
to mister Reid, so I know about these things. Fairways
non scheduled, and so they have their own particular routines.
One of them is that this first DAI kid is
(16:00):
the stewardess's responsibility. Each one is a kit. They take
it off the plane when they leave, and they bring
it aboard when they report for work.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
The explosive wheeler, the nitroglycerin that was hidden in that
first aid kit, I didn't put it there, that's what
you mean.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
But I didn't know it. I didn't know anything.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
About it enough explosive to tear off the whole tailor side.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I didn't thirteen people in that plane wheel are four
people in One of the houses had crashed into probably
two more, and the other I I didn't do it.
Wilbert Wheeler was turned over to the police psychiatrist because
(16:40):
we couldn't get any father with him, and a lie
detected test was arranged for the following morning. The web
that was tightening around him was only circumstantial, and the
question was did he know that he could keep on
saying he hadn't done it and that we couldn't do
anything without physical proof, or was he innocent. Our last
move that night was to go to whel room. We
(17:01):
were looking for a wire that could be checked to
that used with the explosive. We couldn't find that or
anything else that could be a definite help, but a
couple of things we didn't find seemed strange. Hey, he
said he came home and turned on his radio, But
there isn't a radio here. Maybe we've got him on
a real line, then, h newspapers land hard? Can you
(17:22):
find any I hadn't noticed? Oh, are any? Unless he's
got him out of site someway? Why would he do that? Hum,
I'm in the waste papers to ask you. You'd think
a man as closely connected to this as he was
would wanna find out what the papers were saying, wouldn't
you guilty or innocent? Yeah, uh, I don't know. Dollar,
(17:46):
I'm bushed. Let's drop it for the night, hunt really, uh,
we'll try him again tomorrow. I'll drop you at home
and see about a mile in the morning. The next morning,
Lenhard and I talked to the psychiatrist spend a couple
of hours with Wheeler. In technical terms, what he said
(18:08):
was that Wheeler was definitely suffering from a severe guilt complex.
But whether that meant he had actually committed the crime
or had only wished secretly that harm would come to
his goodhue wasn't clear yet. In terms of evidence, that
meant nothing. The lack of a radio or newspapers in
his room. The doctor tossed off his meaning merely that
Wheeler was hiding from actuality. His captain put it, if
(18:30):
that doctor thinks he helped my metal condition, he's wrong.
That afternoon, there were two developments. The first one was
the report that the results of Wilbert Wheeler's light detector
test were negative, but his reactions put the mark of
guilt all over him. The second came from the Fairway
(18:50):
office of Carl Reid. He'd been unable to locate another
of his stewardesses, and when finally he'd sent someone to
our apartment, she'd been found shot to death. We met
mister Reid at the scene of the second crime. I
I simply had to get back in the job today. Right,
(19:11):
Two of our flights were delayed yesterday because it might
going to pieces. I don't know if I make it easy.
You trying to phone this girl and tell her to
reproach to one of your flights, and when you send
somebody out here, she was found dead. Right. Yes, I
hadn't tried to contact Alice before because I knew that
she and Missus Goodview had been close friends, and I
(19:32):
knew she must have felt almost responsible for her death. Why,
mister Red, Why sh she was scheduled for the flight
the other night? I thought you knew that. No, we didn't.
I wish we had. But I told you that that
night that at the same of the crash, I was
talking to her mother and Missus Goodhughes. Yes, I remember that.
You you said she thought there was a chance that
her daughter wasn't on the plane. I told you the
(19:52):
other girl was scheduled. No, mister read No, you made
it sound like Missus Goodhu thought her daughter was on
a different flight. You didn't say anything out another steward's
good lawd it's all right, it's all right, mister Reid.
The human mind doesn't then follow us, but it can
correct its mistakes. I'll go on and tell us now
that that's all. With everything else, I suppose it didn't
(20:13):
seem important. I know our procedure is less exact than
the larger companies. The girls often traded flights. Why did
you find out about this trade? Not until missus Goodhewe
told me that her daughter had gone to work that night.
You didn't discuss it with her? Buy any chance? Oh?
I I didn't discuss it that night. And I think
(20:36):
we'd better go see missus Goodiere dollar. I think so.
Sergeant Collins over there will be in charge here, mister Reid.
He may want to ask you a few more questions.
All right, Collins, I'm leaving. I'll say you at headquarter.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
MM.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You know what this probably means. The case against Wheeler
is shot second Stewardess. That's a pattern. Everything we've tried
to do is more than nothing. Circumstance gelebt and sometimes
does that. But we were close. We settled on a
stewardess anyway as the intended victim. But it doesn't help
to think that maybe all those people died because of
(21:10):
a mistake. The wrong steward has died in the crash
and the kill. I had to go back to take
care of the right one. Of course, of course, I'll
tell you anything I can. Well, we've just learned that
your daughter wasn't scheduled to be on that plane. This
(21:31):
is good to you. No, she wasn't. Do you know
why she happened to be. We understand that she and
Alice Turner exchange flights quite often. But do you know
how it happened the other night? Well, no, Shirley was
here at home and the phone right now. What time
was that? Please?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Oh, I hardly remember. We'd had an early dinner.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
The plane jock off at eight twenty five. How long
before then? Well, inn hour at least. No, it was
less than that, because Shirley left in such a hurry.
What did she say. Well, she said that one of
the girls was sick and she was going to take
her place on a flight just up to Maine and back,
she said.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
She said she'd be.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Home soon after midnight. I've never liked rush decisions, and
I've always worried when Shirley left in a hurry like that.
She did it quite often.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Yes, they all did. Six of them live here in Hartford.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I never liked it. Did she trade more often with
Alice Turner than the others? Do you know? Well?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
No. It was an agreement, almost a code.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
If one of them couldn't work, one of the others
would fill in well.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And it's possible that Alice Turner called some of the
others before she called your daughter. Yes, it it is possible,
and I wish that I naturally the hope that Captain
(23:01):
Lenhart and I had was that we'd find another of
the stewardess as Alice Turner had talked to and learned
the reasons she had wanted to get out of the
fatal flight. We didn't. She hadn't called any of the others,
and we were left with nothing, nothing but the prospect
of starving the whole investigation over from the beginning. The
(23:22):
enormity of the crime had been in all of our
minds from the first night. We'd never thought it might
have a positive quality, but it did. The horror of
it led to the solving of it. Late that afternoon,
Lenhart and I had found no place from which to
start over. I went back to my apartment building, and
in the car just outside my door is your nick dollar. Huh. Yeah,
(23:46):
can I help you?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
I want to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I think we better side.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I'm pretty busy, I know, yeah, I know, y'all.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
I want to talk about the plane explosion.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Huh. All right, come on in.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Look, I can't stand anymore. I read about Alice Turner
this afternoon, and I can't stand at this all.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
What do you know about it?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Just that all those people killed killed for nothing, and
I partly the plane too. I'm ready to give.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Myself up as you come to me. Then why didn't
you go to the police. Well, you can talk to
somebody like you.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
The police is always putting the cap the state.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Okay, he'll get you anyway, but you'll know what I
really said. Go ahead. His name is Church at the church.
Who is out the church?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
He's the chief pusher for a bigger narcotic Suffitt than
you ever thought they was.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
We've got a few cranks in this case already.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
I know, crank, no crank. Alice Turner was carrying the
stuff for him. She wanted to get out in church
one letter, so she's got smart. She set up a
meeting with a federal man the other night. That's why
she was killed.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
All the rest doesn't make sense. If she'd made this day.
Don't you think the Federals would have been in on this.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Alice didn't tell him who she was or what she
did all this. I'm the one that told her church
was hollower.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I told her the trumper not to go.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
That's my part of it.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I told the church was on with that he'd stop
her some way, some way.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I told her to drop no matter what. I don't
like it. Why would she put Shirley good here on
the spot? Well, Alice didn't know what would happen. I
didn't know who couldn't know he'd Why did he do
anything like that? Why did he? If what you say
is true, he could have stopped us another way. That's
my doing too.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
I kept her out of sight and the other night
I told her to do anything, to stay where she
was and not to go to the field.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
She believed me. Then I called Shirley.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Goode and told her she was sick, and that's why
she didn't go.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
You know how the explosive was that wrecked the plane.
I read today the first aid kid, that's where al
was carried to the stuff, and it was that kid.
How did the good heal girl get it?
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Because she was cold at the last minute, and Alice
had the things in the loft of the field.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And now, look, mister Dollar.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I wouldn't be here. I wasn't the truth.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
It's a peddling rap for me. But I've been reading
these stories about the people that got killed and the
families that I left. I couldn't take it, couldn't take it.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I knew the truth.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And then when Alice was killed there was no reason
for that town what I knew. Are you ready to
go to the policeman? You heard what I got to say.
I'm giving myself up your witness to that. You know
where there's other churches. Yeah, yeah, he and I we
live together, and he'll come with us if I have to.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Sure, Sure, I'll take.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It to him. Say's it, Maria, this is where I
left him. You go in and Callum's here, all right?
Just call him naturally now A right, all right, are
(27:05):
you here? I'm here, You atturney, go away? I got
expense a count item too, miscellaneous twenty three dollars and
(27:26):
forty five cents expensive count total twenty five dollars and
ninety five cents. Remarks, but the cost of the other
people the total hardly seems important, does it. I think
it would be easier if forget the twenty five dollars
than the rest of the matter. So let's do it.
It's truly Johnny Dollar.
