Boo, No, I did you put swim up to you company?
Nothing at all, sweetheart. I just happened to have the
Taurus lists of handy Italian phrases before me. Beach never
did that too, before that North Beach. Never did anybody
like adjusted me if But I.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Thought you said old by Telameo just wanted you to not.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Buy for a friend and some garlic, bread and red wine.
But does that explain the knife cash on my coat?
You tweet my old tweet? Now cherup, you see it
was never meant to be swimming to they? Yes? What else?
By now? Your teen feminine instinct should tell you this
is not the social call, wonder girl. As a matter
of fact, I planned to drop by Pesto Pesto with

North Beach Division from Samuel's Fade license number one three
seven five ninety six, subject the crab bleuis Kafer, Dear Bartolomeo.
Fisherman's Wharf, as you know, is as changeable as an
(02:17):
Italian winch. All smiles and laughter of a Saturday night
with the lights blazing in the Chippino plazzas and the
tourists three deep around the steaming cauldrons outside. But it's
something else again, of an early dawn, dark and lonely
and quiet except for the mud of engines as the
crab boat snows out into the fog that hang over
the gate. Last night was somewhere in between. The lights
(02:37):
were blinking out as I left my cab and walked
over to your place of business, A gaudily painted building
at the foot of the wharf with a red, yellow
and blue steme reading Musu majore, curios, souvenirs, waxworks, that
mission ten cents? O, Who is it? I'm Sam Spade.
(02:57):
Bartolomeo called me in here.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Fuchs grad with the.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
End of the wharf. Look is there anything I can do? Sorry?
Except for Frasky's at the very end. The wharf was
dark now. It seemed early, as if something had interfered
with business as usual and my late customers had been
brushed off a couple hours ahead of time. I peak
through a hole in one of Frasky's window shades and
(03:22):
saw why. It looked like the entire population of North
Beach was inside.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
If everyone is ready?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
What momento? Was it? This me? It's you? What do
you want? I'm saying, Spade by telling meo majour, I

Speaker 1 (03:41):
A see, but I got that tomorrow ski. Oh there,
mister Spade, you are wondering why you were out here?
Was a matter of fact, I am, But tell me,
I thought, I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
It's about my son.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Louis my son, my only son.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Oh he's the inside No, oh no, nothing inside out
in the darkness somewhere cold and the long you well,
you mean six days now they have searched for his body.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh when did it happened?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
One week today crab on, it's but today something along
when it happened?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Your detectives, you strike the point.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Louis always always a fisher lot until this time, Dominictorio,
his friend Dominic.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
This gathering is.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Assembled in Dominic's on. You see you mean hearing or
something something more than that.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Come listen to that.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You have a body, have a sick.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's all prep for fuck.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You should tell the ticket your temper. The fat six
year lois fishing the crab alt each a day is
a layo, close.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
The break a line and strinking a pot.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Each day he's bringing the sun felipe home.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Hockey, donky have you writ anybody?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Until the one fine day do hit the goal with Louis.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
For help, help, I'll go, although we must deal in fact,
dominicet spending the kill Lewis.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Show me to kill Louis, and you know why because
he's the one Roslea.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
That's the why.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
See how who is Rosaliah? You must have seen her?
You say finally yes with the reason. Next week she
and my Louis were to be married.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
It's tough. You think it's Domnic was in love. I
think nothing.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Senor two men friends alone in the boat and heavy fout.
One of them dies, the other says it there's an accident.
It's not for us to think or make guesses. Say
what am I supposed to do? In directors of the
police sor my Louis die in an accident, in the
hearts of his friends. He was murdered for my sake,
(06:10):
for Dominic's, for the sake of his. We must know
the truth. For this, I prefer to employ one who
is professional and impartio.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Come, we're going leave me before heaven. I minute.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Once again, Dominica. How far was the boat from seal rocks?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
One hundred yards? I heard the break. Let Tomedy tell
the story. Go on. Now, you had dropped the last
crab pot over the side. Then something went wrong with
the motor. Louie told me to look at it. I
went below. Then it happened Louis was leaning over the gun.
We untangled a float and the sea took us by
(06:55):
the stern. We broached. I saw him go over and
plunge into the white water. I brought there a bath.
Then for two hours, I yelled, I circled around, I
blew the whistle everything, and the coastguard came flasky, and
I swear it. That's all I know.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I never saw more feebly, my brothers, it was your
will that I sit here in judgment of Dominictorio before
I go on? Are there any more questions?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You'll have to ask him question?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Are there any among you who have evidence to offer
against him?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So be it?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
You know as well as I there is only one
verdict here.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
The charge is dismissed. The court is adjourned. Everyone was
still for a second, like a big tableau Fasca, white
haired and dignified on the platform, looking down at Duminik
and the rest of them, all on their feet, now
boring holes threw them with their eyes. He was the
(08:00):
first to move, turning slowly walking out through the crowd
toward the door, looking tentatively from face to face, knowing
now he hadn't been acquitted at all. As one by
one they turned their backs on me. I felt terribly
sorry for Dominic until he walked past me, and I
got to look at his face and his eyes. In
my racket, I see that look more often than the
next guy. I never saw it any clearer than I
(08:22):
did now. It was fear and hatred and guilt. So
I let you talk him to Fasci bout Tolomeo and
walked back down to the wharft to the misseu.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Cozalia, I told you about Tolomeo.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Is nay, I've seen bout Telomeo. I want to talk
to you. Sit down. I don't want to sit down.
That's a good girl. It was quite a place to Misseo.
I catch all for everything naughticle you would run across
in sixty odd years of living on the sea. You're
next to it, from a ten foot shot pickled in
from aldehyde to a life sized figure of Captain Kidd,
(09:04):
complete with drawn sword, lace cuffs and pressure chest at
his feet, next to the door. I turned back to Rosalia,
sitting on a rum keg under a flickering hurricane, laughing
the only light in the room.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
What do you want of me by telling me?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Or wants the truth about what happened on the Sinfully
they deciding that at the meeting they already did, did you.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Mean, Dominique? How did they decide dismiss.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
The charges no evidence, no witnesses. It was the only
thing Fosti could do. You feel better.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It doesn't bring back my Louis, No, it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Dominic scone free now from both the law and his people.
No vengeance for Louis. Why were you crying when I
came by tonight? Haven't either right to cry with my Louis?
Drop it?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Huhm?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Why didn't you go to the meeting afraid to give
yourself away?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I didn't feel like at that song.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You're a Sicilian Rosalia. Vengeance is pretty important to you.
If you'd love Louis, you'd have been in there screaming
for Dominic's scout.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You shut your mouth.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But no, you're sat home crying, not for Louis but
for Dominick. Right, how long it had been going on?
Did you know Dominic was going to kill him when
they put out in the sand? Philipe?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Why would Dominic kill him?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well, that's a stupid question. He's in love with you,
in love with me? I love with merop It.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You in love with me?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Oh? I wish it were so he.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Killed for me? Is that what they say?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's all very flattering.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Erry, I love Dominic.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I've always loved Dominic since I was a little girl.
I threw myself at Dominic.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I begged him to marry me. That's not easy for
a girl to do, mister Spaith.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I begged him, but I promised to.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Work for him, to be his slave.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Do you know what he did?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
He laughed and upon me and you.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
If you stand there and you tell me that he
murdered for the love of me, he wouldn't mark across
the street.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
All right, all right, take it easy, now, come on,
take it easy.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
So so I do the silly woman thing. I promise
myself to Louis. It's a crazy Louis to a madman.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
You don't believe there, huh. Louis the great your campione,
the champion of the crab fisherman who dares the fish
right on the breaker line, catches more crab than anyone else.
Louis the fearless.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Do you know why he's fair less? He's too crazy
to be afraid. What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
He mutters?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
He he talks to himself. The great riches of thousands
of dollars of him and me, Louis the crab fisherman
and me living in the finest house in North Beach.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
When was this last week?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He went up in Martello Mayo's atic one night and
he came down with a big hunk of his raw
wax from the waxworks Bitrosor. He called it a stupid
lump of wax, and he held it up before me.
So and he says, with a mad gleam in his eye,
from this, Rosalia, from this Apacafus, the biggest finest house
you can dream of.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Here, Look what's Captain kid got to do? He puts
it in the treasure chest.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
See you will keep this.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
It's just see with Rosalie.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
He says, if you love me, and.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He laughs to get like a madman, me love Louis
majority I hated it.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Too good to be phony. The triangle notion had to go.
You could hardly blame Rosaliah for thinking he was crazy,
And the treasure chest was a hunk of tallow, not
a very fresh hunk at that, and Louis's routine with
it must have hit her like the graveyard scene from Hamlet. Therefore,
having no theory, nor evidence nor witnesses, I also had
no motive. As always in situations like this, I did
(12:35):
the sensible thing. I went home and went to bed.
All right, thought I went to bed, Hello, stayed Yeah.
I got a tip for you. I don't find yourself
a nice, dirty divorce case somewhere and stay out of
North Beach. This almost sounds like a threat, all that advice.
There's one hundred bucks in the mail for you. You'll
get it this morning, plus a bribe i'd get. Can
(12:56):
I keep it if I don't play? If you don't play,
you won't need it. H I suppose it's useless to
ask who this is, Louis Majory say that again, Louis
majority Shall I spell it? You might explain it. You
talk to Rosalia, figure it out for yourself. Sure, sure,
so she never loved you and you knew it. So
you go over the side when the comra hit swim Ashore,
(13:17):
then discover they think you're dead and decide to leave
it that way rather than go through with a wedding.
You've got it, I got more. So life without Rosaliah
and North Beach is impossible. You can't face the shame
and loose talk that goes with a busted wedding. So
you're going over the hill and find a new life
for yourself. Wait a minute, space, Oh there's more. There's more.
So you're tossing over a car, a bank account, a
boat worth seven thousand dollars, walking out on your old man,
(13:39):
to say nothing of three years apprenticeship and six years
of hard work to get where you are. I understand perfectly,
and you're being a little insulling. I make a lot
of mid though with my big flat feet, but I
do make some of it with my head. I'll try again.
You don't believe on, Louis Majory. That is the general idea.
And it might surprise you to know that five minutes
ago I was ready to chuck the whole andy pasto.
(14:00):
Now I'm back in with both feet. What were the
music box?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Tell me?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Would you know Louis if you saw him? I've seen
his picture. Fine, I guess I ought to prove it
to you. If I satisfy you, I'm Louie Majory. Whill
you stay home? Scott Out's on it? Now where do
we prove it? You know? Costellani's grown up? Half way
out in the wharf yacht. There's a ramp running around
behind it. I'll see you there in a half hour.
(14:28):
I know, just what you're going to say by telling me, Oh,
but I didn't go alone. Roscoe was right there with
me with his safety art. It was a kind of
spot San Francisco puts on once a year for the tourists,
just to nail down its position as runner up to London.
I had to feel my way along the row of
dark chowderhouses too Castellanes. Except for the fog horn and
(14:51):
the lapping of the water below, there wasn't a sound.
The only cheerful thing in the picture was Roscoe, who
was now out of my pocket. At the Reddit, I
eased up to the corner of Castellans. There was an
alley between it and the next building leading around on
the ramp over the water Stay. I could see the
grave of his cigarette first. Then I made him out
in a slouch hat and overcoat. He was standing at
the rail Stay right here. Well satisfied, now, I'll let
(15:18):
you know. I moved out from the side of the
building and walked toward him. He must have known about Roscoe,
because he didn't move, just let me come right up
next to him. I was stupid, sure, but it wouldn't
have worked for him except for the five two feet
away I saw what I thought was Louis was a
booby trap. The hat and overcoat were slung over a piling,
with a burning cigarette on the rail next to one
of his sleeves. I rolled a one SI ducted in
(15:40):
high and the knife slashed through the petting on my
left shoulder, and he was on me. Rascal went into
the drink and I took on the arm with a
knife with my two hands, thirty two teeth, unhappily overlooking
a spare foot he knew what to do with. I
went through the railing like an a silent version of
the sea Wolf, arriving thus in the limpid and soothing
waters of San Francisco Bay. At the moment, I was
(16:00):
not sorry. You are listening to the weekly adventure of
radio's most famous detective, Sam Spade. Free Chimes Mean Good
(16:28):
Times on NBC Sunday. Theater Guild on the Air presents
one of the greatest dramatic undertakings in the history of radio.
It's a full hour and a half adaptation of Shakespeare's
masterpiece Hamlet. The immortal lines and matchless beauty of Hamlet
come to life Sunday with John Gielgud Dorothy McGuire and
Pamela Brown in Theater Guild on the air, and a
(16:50):
reminder this Sunday also means another Gala broadcast of The
Big Show. And now back to the crab Louie Gaper
the night's adventure with Sam's bay, wetting my finger and
(17:16):
holding it up in the wind, I quickly determined where
North was, and Justice quickly decided there was no percentage
in swimming the Golden Gate. A bright blur on my
starboard Bow called him on the old saying, where there's
a light, there's light. So I headed there three strokes
this side of exhaustion. I pulled up at what proved
to be a landing with a Jacob's ladder at the
top of which I found a rear entrance to Foski's,
(17:36):
or more accurately, Foski's private office. The door was open.
I'm Sam Spade. I've been swimming. If you're wondering what
got a mail told me about you. He didn't say
you were crazy. Now, maybe he didn't know. You wouldn't
have a brandy lying around loose, would you? Sure she don't? Thanks?
I think I saw Louis that night, Louie Impossible behind
(18:00):
Castellanes brush you fosky? Who hit me again? Will you? Man?
But Louis called me up, said he'd meet me there.
Just try to knife me j impossibly is it? Why
would he play dad? And why would he trying to
kill you? Maybe he's crazy? How do you mean you've
(18:21):
heard of the dear old lady who had the trunk
full of pancakes, haven't you? Louis saves old tallow Captain
Kidd's treasure chested. The mussau is full of it? Who
told you this? Rosaliah showed it to me? May I
help you? Thanks? Might be a gudd to call another
meeting and tell the people make it easier for dominic He.
(18:42):
It was a whole meeting here I alone, dadd It
is guilt a good thing they made you. The judge
jury might be six feet under by now. Got a
cigarette in the bucks they're next to the phone. Thanks. Yeah,
I went right along with him too. Shows how wrong
you can be when you went word, when you uh
and you go by emotions and not by evidence. This
(19:03):
is quite a cigarette box. It stops when you put
it down. Well, I suppose now you'll drop yours on? Sure? Sure,
I'm a detective, not a psychiatrist. You've got a lunatic
running around. That's your problem. Good night, fasking, and thanks
for the brandy. If Roscoe had been along, I might
(19:28):
have played it differently. But when you're sitting across a
coffee table from a guy you suddenly realized as the
wet cement already, you do what I did. Make polite
noises and concentrate on getting out on two feet. He
was seven to three. Dominic was stached in a handy closet,
listening to the whole thing, which was handy since the
next obvious move was his room in a house on
Jefferson Street, a rooming house owned and operated by a
four cassage Bosom type lady known as Mama Luca. Nothing nothing,
(19:54):
you're scared, Mama. Did Dominic threaten you? No? No, don't look.
Look he killed Louis MAJORI I gotta know why.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I don't know, right, I don't know nothing about it.
Louis came here, yes, yes, Louis came here the night
before that.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Why, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
He was all excited, A handful of wax.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Wax, you know what about it? He sure to.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Dominique and they go into his room and talk, and
then he ran off to send a telegram Telegraph office.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Huh, well, since it's official business, I can let you
read the office copy here. This message just came in tonight, Dominictorio,
regarding your inquiry analysis of sample SAMs here by Louis Marjorie,
highly promising if quality uniform and wait correct? What has
to make value minimum sixty thousand dollars partly associates Vancouver BC,
(20:50):
A lump of smelly stuff that looked like old tallow
picked out of the ocean and worth sixty thousand dollars
with a strong enough coup or even stupid sam to
pick up. I left the Telegraph office on the bubble
and pulled up at the Museo Major. Ten minutes later,
Okay blasted fluck Is Jim. He was too busy to notice. Man,
(21:12):
I slid a Marlin spank out of a rack next
to the rum keg lock must be locked. I hate
to do this fast wave. The next voice you'll hear
will be the nurse with a breakfast tray a toll
of mail. What you look? What? What have you were done?
(21:34):
His honor was playing Pandora with Captain Kid's treasury bo man.
Why who is husky surprised? Firscue? Why would he he?
Of old people? He likes a buck as well as
the next one, possibly even more when there are sixty
eight thousand of them, sixty thousand dollars. Yeah, he's mad
like a fox. Here, let me pry this cover off there?
(22:01):
What is this? But it may not look like much
to you and me, but to a perfume manufacturer, it's
prettier than the venus than Milo cadd lo amburgers. That's
what happens when a whale gets a tummy ache. Louie
must have run on to it ten days ago, six dollars. Yeah,
that's the big why of it. By telling Mayo, what
now you think? First, we'll talk, neither will Dominic. They're
(22:22):
next and they know it. Still two men alone in
a fog in a boat.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
See, there were only a witness, There was a witness,
m The eye of God was undominiq when they did it.
The judgment of God is swift, and the sure Dominic
knows it.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Do you think so? I love Dominic? Where you asked,
there's a way to find out what time?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
A best one? There's time where do you keep your
razor racer? Yeah, I'm going to shave Captain Kidd, which
I did, finishing around two am. During the next three
hours I got wet, cold and sea sick and the
order name, but made it back to the Musseu on
time for a couple of stiff horns. That Grappa before
(23:04):
you and I hustled down to the wharf where Dominic
was picking up bait for his crabnets. A bit huh oh,
but pla nail and the Senor Spade, I remember, mister Spath. Yeah,
last night in back of Castellanies. I don't know what
you're talking about, sure, Dominic, it's all a horrible mistake.
Why you off me, will you? Herbert Posky said, didn't you?
(23:25):
They drop the charges on innocent, They cleared me. That's
just why we're here.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
We want to make it up with you.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That boy, what's in your mind? You did? Louis a
great favorite Dominic. When he's thirty two crab pots got
too much for him to handle. You went along to
help him. Today, we're going along to help you. How
when do we cast off? There's a float up ahead?
(23:51):
What color yellow and red? Is that yours? Dominic, that's mine, grace,
great pull up alongside? Well, what's this fall of fire?
I told you, Dominic, relyon. What are you trying to do?
Break me downy, he's dead in an accident. Hurt yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Forget it, Dominic, forget it. We love you like a brother.
I told the truth. I told the truth. What are
you trying to do? Torture me? Is that what you
(24:11):
want to bend? The murder is another? What you mean?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
There is always one witness, isn't that, Dominique?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Oh that's what you mean. Is that why you came
to tell me that that's a good one? Hold the
wheel stayed, I'll bake my net. I'll spit in your eye.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
One say old name.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
One day when you get smart, you in a whole
house the war both watched them get playing at aling
for himself like a little kid whistling in the darts.
He was allows the actor hail under his son, burn
and benched. I want to let you think oil by
a coil, and then it began to come slower and
make it stick when I can improve it in the
cordill So you get the plea? Hey, what's thematic here?
(25:02):
What's pulling on this line. Maybe it's your conscience, Dominique,
it's Heavy's what the Lord's moves in strange ways. Hey Jack,
you get it up. Let me help you. Here we
go fun too, help Li go me go. I hauled
(25:32):
Louis up onto the deck and the grisly sight he
was too with a knife still sticking in his back.
I figured that that was where Dominic would put it,
and I was right. Not that it mattered, because Dominic
wasn't thinking logically. From the moment he saw Louis's body
tangled in his crab line. He sang us all fifty
verses then and there, and repeated them for the police

Fisherman's Wharf, as you know, is as changeable as an
(02:17):
Italian winch. All smiles and laughter of a Saturday night
with the lights blazing in the Chippino plazzas and the
tourists three deep around the steaming cauldrons outside. But it's
something else again, of an early dawn, dark and lonely
and quiet except for the mud of engines as the
crab boat snows out into the fog that hang over
the gate. Last night was somewhere in between. The lights
(02:37):
were blinking out as I left my cab and walked
over to your place of business, A gaudily painted building
at the foot of the wharf with a red, yellow
and blue steme reading Musu majore, curios, souvenirs, waxworks, that
mission ten cents? O, Who is it? I'm Sam Spade.
(02:57):
Bartolomeo called me in here.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Fuchs grad with the.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
End of the wharf. Look is there anything I can do? Sorry?
Except for Frasky's at the very end. The wharf was
dark now. It seemed early, as if something had interfered
with business as usual and my late customers had been
brushed off a couple hours ahead of time. I peak
through a hole in one of Frasky's window shades and
(03:22):
saw why. It looked like the entire population of North
Beach was inside.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
If everyone is ready?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
What momento? Was it? This me? It's you? What do
you want? I'm saying, Spade by telling meo majour, I
sent for me.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
By your senior Spade.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
A see, but I got that tomorrow ski. Oh there,
mister Spade, you are wondering why you were out here?
Was a matter of fact, I am, But tell me,
I thought, I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
It's about my son.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Louis my son, my only son.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Oh he's the inside No, oh no, nothing inside out
in the darkness somewhere cold and the long you well,
you mean six days now they have searched for his body.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh when did it happened?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
One week today crab on, it's but today something along
when it happened?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Your detectives, you strike the point.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Louis always always a fisher lot until this time, Dominictorio,
his friend Dominic.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
This gathering is.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Assembled in Dominic's on. You see you mean hearing or
something something more than that.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Come listen to that.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You have a body, have a sick.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's all prep for fuck.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You should tell the ticket your temper. The fat six
year lois fishing the crab alt each a day is
a layo, close.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
The break a line and strinking a pot.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Each day he's bringing the sun felipe home.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Hockey, donky have you writ anybody?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Until the one fine day do hit the goal with Louis.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
For help, help, I'll go, although we must deal in fact,
dominicet spending the kill Lewis.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Show me to kill Louis, and you know why because
he's the one Roslea.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
That's the why.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
See how who is Rosaliah? You must have seen her?
You say finally yes with the reason. Next week she
and my Louis were to be married.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
It's tough. You think it's Domnic was in love. I
think nothing.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Senor two men friends alone in the boat and heavy fout.
One of them dies, the other says it there's an accident.
It's not for us to think or make guesses. Say
what am I supposed to do? In directors of the
police sor my Louis die in an accident, in the
hearts of his friends. He was murdered for my sake,
(06:10):
for Dominic's, for the sake of his. We must know
the truth. For this, I prefer to employ one who
is professional and impartio.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Come, we're going leave me before heaven. I minute.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Once again, Dominica. How far was the boat from seal rocks?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
One hundred yards? I heard the break. Let Tomedy tell
the story. Go on. Now, you had dropped the last
crab pot over the side. Then something went wrong with
the motor. Louie told me to look at it. I
went below. Then it happened Louis was leaning over the gun.
We untangled a float and the sea took us by
(06:55):
the stern. We broached. I saw him go over and
plunge into the white water. I brought there a bath.
Then for two hours, I yelled, I circled around, I
blew the whistle everything, and the coastguard came flasky, and
I swear it. That's all I know.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I never saw more feebly, my brothers, it was your
will that I sit here in judgment of Dominictorio before
I go on? Are there any more questions?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You'll have to ask him question?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Are there any among you who have evidence to offer
against him?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So be it?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
You know as well as I there is only one
verdict here.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
The charge is dismissed. The court is adjourned. Everyone was
still for a second, like a big tableau Fasca, white
haired and dignified on the platform, looking down at Duminik
and the rest of them, all on their feet, now
boring holes threw them with their eyes. He was the
(08:00):
first to move, turning slowly walking out through the crowd
toward the door, looking tentatively from face to face, knowing
now he hadn't been acquitted at all. As one by
one they turned their backs on me. I felt terribly
sorry for Dominic until he walked past me, and I
got to look at his face and his eyes. In
my racket, I see that look more often than the
next guy. I never saw it any clearer than I
(08:22):
did now. It was fear and hatred and guilt. So
I let you talk him to Fasci bout Tolomeo and
walked back down to the wharft to the misseu.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Cozalia, I told you about Tolomeo.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Is nay, I've seen bout Telomeo. I want to talk
to you. Sit down. I don't want to sit down.
That's a good girl. It was quite a place to Misseo.
I catch all for everything naughticle you would run across
in sixty odd years of living on the sea. You're
next to it, from a ten foot shot pickled in
from aldehyde to a life sized figure of Captain Kidd,
(09:04):
complete with drawn sword, lace cuffs and pressure chest at
his feet, next to the door. I turned back to Rosalia,
sitting on a rum keg under a flickering hurricane, laughing
the only light in the room.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
What do you want of me by telling me?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Or wants the truth about what happened on the Sinfully
they deciding that at the meeting they already did, did you.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Mean, Dominique? How did they decide dismiss.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
The charges no evidence, no witnesses. It was the only
thing Fosti could do. You feel better.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It doesn't bring back my Louis, No, it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Dominic scone free now from both the law and his people.
No vengeance for Louis. Why were you crying when I
came by tonight? Haven't either right to cry with my Louis?
Drop it?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Huhm?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Why didn't you go to the meeting afraid to give
yourself away?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I didn't feel like at that song.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You're a Sicilian Rosalia. Vengeance is pretty important to you.
If you'd love Louis, you'd have been in there screaming
for Dominic's scout.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You shut your mouth.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
But no, you're sat home crying, not for Louis but
for Dominick. Right, how long it had been going on?
Did you know Dominic was going to kill him when
they put out in the sand? Philipe?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Why would Dominic kill him?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well, that's a stupid question. He's in love with you,
in love with me? I love with merop It.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You in love with me?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Oh? I wish it were so he.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Killed for me? Is that what they say?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's all very flattering.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Erry, I love Dominic.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I've always loved Dominic since I was a little girl.
I threw myself at Dominic.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I begged him to marry me. That's not easy for
a girl to do, mister Spaith.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I begged him, but I promised to.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Work for him, to be his slave.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Do you know what he did?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
He laughed and upon me and you.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
If you stand there and you tell me that he
murdered for the love of me, he wouldn't mark across
the street.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
All right, all right, take it easy, now, come on,
take it easy.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
So so I do the silly woman thing. I promise
myself to Louis. It's a crazy Louis to a madman.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
You don't believe there, huh. Louis the great your campione,
the champion of the crab fisherman who dares the fish
right on the breaker line, catches more crab than anyone else.
Louis the fearless.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Do you know why he's fair less? He's too crazy
to be afraid. What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
He mutters?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
He he talks to himself. The great riches of thousands
of dollars of him and me, Louis the crab fisherman
and me living in the finest house in North Beach.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
When was this last week?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He went up in Martello Mayo's atic one night and
he came down with a big hunk of his raw
wax from the waxworks Bitrosor. He called it a stupid
lump of wax, and he held it up before me.
So and he says, with a mad gleam in his eye,
from this, Rosalia, from this Apacafus, the biggest finest house
you can dream of.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Here, Look what's Captain kid got to do? He puts
it in the treasure chest.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
See you will keep this.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
It's just see with Rosalie.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
He says, if you love me, and.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He laughs to get like a madman, me love Louis
majority I hated it.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Too good to be phony. The triangle notion had to go.
You could hardly blame Rosaliah for thinking he was crazy,
And the treasure chest was a hunk of tallow, not
a very fresh hunk at that, and Louis's routine with
it must have hit her like the graveyard scene from Hamlet. Therefore,
having no theory, nor evidence nor witnesses, I also had
no motive. As always in situations like this, I did
(12:35):
the sensible thing. I went home and went to bed.
All right, thought I went to bed, Hello, stayed Yeah.
I got a tip for you. I don't find yourself
a nice, dirty divorce case somewhere and stay out of
North Beach. This almost sounds like a threat, all that advice.
There's one hundred bucks in the mail for you. You'll
get it this morning, plus a bribe i'd get. Can
(12:56):
I keep it if I don't play? If you don't play,
you won't need it. H I suppose it's useless to
ask who this is, Louis Majory say that again, Louis
majority Shall I spell it? You might explain it. You
talk to Rosalia, figure it out for yourself. Sure, sure,
so she never loved you and you knew it. So
you go over the side when the comra hit swim Ashore,
(13:17):
then discover they think you're dead and decide to leave
it that way rather than go through with a wedding.
You've got it, I got more. So life without Rosaliah
and North Beach is impossible. You can't face the shame
and loose talk that goes with a busted wedding. So
you're going over the hill and find a new life
for yourself. Wait a minute, space, Oh there's more. There's more.
So you're tossing over a car, a bank account, a
boat worth seven thousand dollars, walking out on your old man,
(13:39):
to say nothing of three years apprenticeship and six years
of hard work to get where you are. I understand perfectly,
and you're being a little insulling. I make a lot
of mid though with my big flat feet, but I
do make some of it with my head. I'll try again.
You don't believe on, Louis Majory. That is the general idea.
And it might surprise you to know that five minutes
ago I was ready to chuck the whole andy pasto.
(14:00):
Now I'm back in with both feet. What were the
music box?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Tell me?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Would you know Louis if you saw him? I've seen
his picture. Fine, I guess I ought to prove it
to you. If I satisfy you, I'm Louie Majory. Whill
you stay home? Scott Out's on it? Now where do
we prove it? You know? Costellani's grown up? Half way
out in the wharf yacht. There's a ramp running around
behind it. I'll see you there in a half hour.
(14:28):
I know, just what you're going to say by telling me, Oh,
but I didn't go alone. Roscoe was right there with
me with his safety art. It was a kind of
spot San Francisco puts on once a year for the tourists,
just to nail down its position as runner up to London.
I had to feel my way along the row of
dark chowderhouses too Castellanes. Except for the fog horn and
(14:51):
the lapping of the water below, there wasn't a sound.
The only cheerful thing in the picture was Roscoe, who
was now out of my pocket. At the Reddit, I
eased up to the corner of Castellans. There was an
alley between it and the next building leading around on
the ramp over the water Stay. I could see the
grave of his cigarette first. Then I made him out
in a slouch hat and overcoat. He was standing at
the rail Stay right here. Well satisfied, now, I'll let
(15:18):
you know. I moved out from the side of the
building and walked toward him. He must have known about Roscoe,
because he didn't move, just let me come right up
next to him. I was stupid, sure, but it wouldn't
have worked for him except for the five two feet
away I saw what I thought was Louis was a
booby trap. The hat and overcoat were slung over a piling,
with a burning cigarette on the rail next to one
of his sleeves. I rolled a one SI ducted in
(15:40):
high and the knife slashed through the petting on my
left shoulder, and he was on me. Rascal went into
the drink and I took on the arm with a
knife with my two hands, thirty two teeth, unhappily overlooking
a spare foot he knew what to do with. I
went through the railing like an a silent version of
the sea Wolf, arriving thus in the limpid and soothing
waters of San Francisco Bay. At the moment, I was
(16:00):
not sorry. You are listening to the weekly adventure of
radio's most famous detective, Sam Spade. Free Chimes Mean Good
(16:28):
Times on NBC Sunday. Theater Guild on the Air presents
one of the greatest dramatic undertakings in the history of radio.
It's a full hour and a half adaptation of Shakespeare's
masterpiece Hamlet. The immortal lines and matchless beauty of Hamlet
come to life Sunday with John Gielgud Dorothy McGuire and
Pamela Brown in Theater Guild on the air, and a
(16:50):
reminder this Sunday also means another Gala broadcast of The
Big Show. And now back to the crab Louie Gaper
the night's adventure with Sam's bay, wetting my finger and
(17:16):
holding it up in the wind, I quickly determined where
North was, and Justice quickly decided there was no percentage
in swimming the Golden Gate. A bright blur on my
starboard Bow called him on the old saying, where there's
a light, there's light. So I headed there three strokes
this side of exhaustion. I pulled up at what proved
to be a landing with a Jacob's ladder at the
top of which I found a rear entrance to Foski's,
(17:36):
or more accurately, Foski's private office. The door was open.
I'm Sam Spade. I've been swimming. If you're wondering what
got a mail told me about you. He didn't say
you were crazy. Now, maybe he didn't know. You wouldn't
have a brandy lying around loose, would you? Sure she don't? Thanks?
I think I saw Louis that night, Louie Impossible behind
(18:00):
Castellanes brush you fosky? Who hit me again? Will you? Man?
But Louis called me up, said he'd meet me there.
Just try to knife me j impossibly is it? Why
would he play dad? And why would he trying to
kill you? Maybe he's crazy? How do you mean you've
(18:21):
heard of the dear old lady who had the trunk
full of pancakes, haven't you? Louis saves old tallow Captain
Kidd's treasure chested. The mussau is full of it? Who
told you this? Rosaliah showed it to me? May I
help you? Thanks? Might be a gudd to call another
meeting and tell the people make it easier for dominic He.
(18:42):
It was a whole meeting here I alone, dadd It
is guilt a good thing they made you. The judge
jury might be six feet under by now. Got a
cigarette in the bucks they're next to the phone. Thanks. Yeah,
I went right along with him too. Shows how wrong
you can be when you went word, when you uh
and you go by emotions and not by evidence. This
(19:03):
is quite a cigarette box. It stops when you put
it down. Well, I suppose now you'll drop yours on? Sure? Sure,
I'm a detective, not a psychiatrist. You've got a lunatic
running around. That's your problem. Good night, fasking, and thanks
for the brandy. If Roscoe had been along, I might
(19:28):
have played it differently. But when you're sitting across a
coffee table from a guy you suddenly realized as the
wet cement already, you do what I did. Make polite
noises and concentrate on getting out on two feet. He
was seven to three. Dominic was stached in a handy closet,
listening to the whole thing, which was handy since the
next obvious move was his room in a house on
Jefferson Street, a rooming house owned and operated by a
four cassage Bosom type lady known as Mama Luca. Nothing nothing,
(19:54):
you're scared, Mama. Did Dominic threaten you? No? No, don't look.
Look he killed Louis MAJORI I gotta know why.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I don't know, right, I don't know nothing about it.
Louis came here, yes, yes, Louis came here the night
before that.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Why, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
He was all excited, A handful of wax.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Wax, you know what about it? He sure to.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Dominique and they go into his room and talk, and
then he ran off to send a telegram Telegraph office.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Huh, well, since it's official business, I can let you
read the office copy here. This message just came in tonight, Dominictorio,
regarding your inquiry analysis of sample SAMs here by Louis Marjorie,
highly promising if quality uniform and wait correct? What has
to make value minimum sixty thousand dollars partly associates Vancouver BC,
(20:50):
A lump of smelly stuff that looked like old tallow
picked out of the ocean and worth sixty thousand dollars
with a strong enough coup or even stupid sam to
pick up. I left the Telegraph office on the bubble
and pulled up at the Museo Major. Ten minutes later,
Okay blasted fluck Is Jim. He was too busy to notice. Man,
(21:12):
I slid a Marlin spank out of a rack next
to the rum keg lock must be locked. I hate
to do this fast wave. The next voice you'll hear
will be the nurse with a breakfast tray a toll
of mail. What you look? What? What have you were done?
(21:34):
His honor was playing Pandora with Captain Kid's treasury bo man.
Why who is husky surprised? Firscue? Why would he he?
Of old people? He likes a buck as well as
the next one, possibly even more when there are sixty
eight thousand of them, sixty thousand dollars. Yeah, he's mad
like a fox. Here, let me pry this cover off there?
(22:01):
What is this? But it may not look like much
to you and me, but to a perfume manufacturer, it's
prettier than the venus than Milo cadd lo amburgers. That's
what happens when a whale gets a tummy ache. Louie
must have run on to it ten days ago, six dollars. Yeah,
that's the big why of it. By telling Mayo, what
now you think? First, we'll talk, neither will Dominic. They're
(22:22):
next and they know it. Still two men alone in
a fog in a boat.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
See, there were only a witness, There was a witness,
m The eye of God was undominiq when they did it.
The judgment of God is swift, and the sure Dominic
knows it.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Do you think so? I love Dominic? Where you asked,
there's a way to find out what time?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
A best one? There's time where do you keep your
razor racer? Yeah, I'm going to shave Captain Kidd, which
I did, finishing around two am. During the next three
hours I got wet, cold and sea sick and the
order name, but made it back to the Musseu on
time for a couple of stiff horns. That Grappa before
(23:04):
you and I hustled down to the wharf where Dominic
was picking up bait for his crabnets. A bit huh oh,
but pla nail and the Senor Spade, I remember, mister Spath. Yeah,
last night in back of Castellanies. I don't know what
you're talking about, sure, Dominic, it's all a horrible mistake.
Why you off me, will you? Herbert Posky said, didn't you?
(23:25):
They drop the charges on innocent, They cleared me. That's
just why we're here.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
We want to make it up with you.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That boy, what's in your mind? You did? Louis a
great favorite Dominic. When he's thirty two crab pots got
too much for him to handle. You went along to
help him. Today, we're going along to help you. How
when do we cast off? There's a float up ahead?
(23:51):
