man here from the insurance off It isn't there, Johnny Stroud?
Where is it?
Speaker 6 (05:27):
He's working concealed? This meant Stroud under cover clever stuff.
You see a park at curve across the street, one
out bus.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Oh oh yeah, the Department of Public Health City and
Carnlio of San Francisco.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
What the Antituberculosis campaign is giving to public for free
grant is one X ray per citizen for chest cavity.
Oh chest X ray handley parking opposite the Bergendorf Gallery.
So inside mister Stroud can take for himself a plant.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Get it clever, clever.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
The free gratis auto bus for chest X rays was
a square end job, complete with reception compartment, X ray
machine and attendem, the latter of sincere type with horn
rim glasses and white starch bluffs. I use the word
sincere advisedly, since he was at the moment doing a
selling job on Johnny Strode.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
You know what I always say, Stroud wh do you
always say?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Job?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
You never can tell about a call, you'll never never
see you.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
See right there, I got a cold.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Maybe eight to five, it's only a cold.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
But five to eight.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Let me take a picture of.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
No charge, no pain, no dice.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Go away, go away?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Oh yeah, good, good, Come on in, come.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
On in the boss city? Was sending you up front
of your room? Back here?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
You realize you're standing right in front of my X
ray machine.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We'll move when you get a customer.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Customers, Yes, where are they? Where are those chests? If
people only knew that eight to five?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It may be a cold brief you on this space.
It was brief, all right? How do you make it?
Fourteen vulgar sized diamonds looking for a buyer, sunset of
damnity and suring Bergendorf against loss during the twenty four
hours they're on his hand. That's two for you. That's
two against me too. Oh like quite a sunset indemnity?
Neat outside of help when they have you? And why
are you playing like a movie dick when a sensible
(07:19):
thing to do is to sit down next to the
exhibit with both eyes open and a rot under your arm?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
What are you doing George, I'm testing my machine.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Done with you, boy, George doesn't like me. I see that. Well.
I guess the boss left out one item sam a tip. Yeah, yeah,
last night some schmoke called him around midnight and got
him out of bed. Oh Runcible is a pessimist. You know,
when Sunset indemnities on the line for a quarter of
a million, he tends to get jumpy. Who had the tip? Anonymous?
(07:49):
They all are right from the open. The guy says,
somebody's gonna take a run and jump at the Kimberly
Cross while it's at Bergendorf's. Needless to safe with the
balance of the night, Uncible does not sleep. Note today
we got three enforcements, Jogi. Yeah, I'm going to leave
you now, George, to take my post across the street
while mister speed. Hey wait a minute, Johnny, Look, look
(08:13):
in front of Bergendor's. The Dame the dame dude paraphrase.
Bergendorf calling her a dame was like calling the Kimberly
Cross a hunk of jewelry. But that's not what interested me,
at least not right then. She was walking back and
forth in front of Bergendorf's like a kid at the
(08:33):
dentist door, trying to get up the nerve to push
the button. Quoting from my notes, it says nine O
two AM. Girl five feet two, blonde, early twenties, great
sweet suit.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Spent a few.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Indecisive minutes in front of Bergendorfs, finally went in. She
came out almost immediately started west on Sutter, then evidently
saw a patrol officer approaching on the same side of street.
Hurriedly crossed toward our post in Public Health Department Mobile
Unit number two and entered Hello, Well, good morning, good morning, Am.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Hi too early for the Oh you're just in time.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
First customer of the day. Let's see now, name Martin Martin,
first name, Bernice.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Address.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
She wasn't a very good liar. While she was telling
him her name was Bernice Martin. She filled with a
leather handbag with the initials PC on it. They're enough
to read from across the street. George filled the form
out and moved her around to the machine. Buy not
a cop She was ducking and walked by and turned
the corner.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Shall I no, No, it won't be necessary to take
off your coat?
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Is this all right?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
That's good?
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Stand right there, old still, Now take a deep breath.
Hold it, it's all there is to it. You're doing
a wise thing, lady.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
You think so, certainly.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Eight to five it's only a cold, But five to
eight you never never know. Eh, here's your stuff with
your i'mber honest. We'll notify you in a few days.
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Whereupon this PC also down to the corner and into
a drug store. Five minutes later, she still hadn't come out.
Stroud was beginning to champ at the bit. So watch Sam.
So she's worried. Ah, she's ducking cops. She's using a
phony name or her girlfriend's handbag. Look, I'm going hey,
wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm sure I've seen
her somewhere before where I don't know, but I think
it was around headquarter. Now, who's playing movie? Jac Look
(10:31):
it's ten after nine. I'll go over and settle down
next to the Vogue of Diamonds, and you make yourself
comfy with Georgie.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
If I get busy out, you.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Go pies on the customers going in and out. There's
a good loud burglar alarm over the door there. You
can hear it in the block away. You see what
I mean. It's good raga, Holy cow. Stroud took the
gallery and I set sail, with the corner drug store
pulling up. In twenty seconds flat, she was gone. Of course.
(11:00):
The druggist was at the fountain mixing a coat, but
she spilled when I reached the cross and grabbed them
by the lapels. Blonde you saying, yeah, yeah, young gray suit. Hmm.
I told you, Jack, she just came in here. I know.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
What do you want to know about her?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
What you do telephone? No? She was just like you
asked me about a guy?
Speaker 7 (11:17):
What guy?
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Larry Galliano? His name is?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I want to know if i'd seen him come by
this morning? Who's he? I don't know? Did she describe him?
Didn't have to Pictures on page one in the morning paper.
Here take a look. There was no time to dawdle,
but I gave her ten seconds. Larry Galliano, a one
time gas station stick up artist, had just been released
(11:42):
from Quenton after doing five years. On the way across
the street to Bergendorfs. It came back to me where
I had seen her standing outside the courtroom crying when
they sentenced him five years ago. Oh yeah, Bergendorf, Yeah yeah.
(12:02):
Shot from behind the stones needless to say, maybe you
were right about that day. No, no, she didn't have time.
Someone was hiding in here waiting for Bergendorf's open up
this morning. How'd you get out? It must be a
back door in this joint. I'll check it. The phones
on the desk.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Wake up Lieutenant Endy.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Right, how he love it too? Two of us holding
hands across the street. Well, Johnny, look, look it's me Berkendorf,
same Spade. He's checking the back door. Who did it? Oh,
double double crust me one, it is all who what
are you talking about? It was as plain as a
(12:46):
man in his condition could have made it obvious to
anyone with average intelligence. But for stupid Sam, it was
still a long voyage hole. You are listening to the

(14:04):
Kimberly Cross Caper. Tonight's adventure with Sam's Bay. It was
a dirty, selfish trick, but I left Johnny Stroud at
the Bergendorf Gallery to play for Cheesy with Dundee in company,
knowing in advance pretty much how the pladda was going
to run. Then called the Chronicle and found the picture
(14:25):
of Larry Galliano had been taken yesterday as they walked
out of a flea bag on Mission Street called the
Aeolian Hotel. You're Galliano? Yeah, sure, sure, sure, I know
him stage here night before last, until I found out
about him. Oh find out what hey, he was a

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Now out of the way, boy on the way.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Look all I want, madam, is one moment of your time.
I already told you, boy, I don't know no girl
never heard of him trying.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
To want her brother.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Well wait a minute, now, will you just take a
look at.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
There s no time?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Well missus landlady, I'm afraid you've lost off. What Yeah,
you were lying to win a bagless vacuum cleaner. You know?
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Oh what wait wait, wait, wait, wait a minute, curly wat.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
What do you want to know?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Bud?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yes, wala, This Scaliano just might be using another name.
This is his picture right here. Oh yes, now I
will rephrase my question. Has he been around? Nope? I see, lady,
Well do I win?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I am sorry, but stand by for the giant jackpot
is an electric. I patted her cheek, made a detour
around her, and left, figuring to check with the parole board.
But as I was climbing into the cabin in front
of the building. A stray thought hit me, and I
went back to the doorway in case the name plates again,
(16:43):
this time for someone with the initials i'd remembered seeing
on the blonde handbag PC. I did better. Patricia Conroy
was living an apartment four old tube. I buzzed four times,
then tried the door. It was open. I gave the
living room and bedroom a fast hoss, moved onto the kitchen,
tased a hammer full of laundry on the back porch.
Result nil. I'm about decided I was in the wrong
(17:05):
apartment when I noticed something that changed my mind. I
crumpled up envelope in a wastepaper basket in the living
room with today's date on it mark Western Airlines Flight
six to Los Angeles, passenger LP Galliano. I had the
phone in one hand and a finger on the dial
and put it down. Huh, oh, oh, Are you going
to put the.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
Phone down or do I.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Have to shoot?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
You mean there's no third choice?
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Put it down?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Sure? Now, I sit down.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
You'll be here for a while.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Huh.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
His plane lands at Burbank in a half hour. If
you have any dates between now and four point thirty,
I get mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Mind if I smoke, go ahead. You know, uh, this
is pretty heavy handed stuff for a knife.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
You know, I've grown up a lot in the last
two days.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Enough, honey, or if you wouldn't be stooging for Galliano.
He can't run away from this kind of rack.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
You know, forty eight hours, that's how long Larry's been
out of the pen.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Well, he didn't waste any time getting back in shrine. Look,
what's your name, spade?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Spade?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
What if I told you Larry Galliano had nothing to do.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
With it, I might give you quite an argument, and.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
I don't feel like arguing.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I'll just tell you good.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
Someone offered him the job at Bergendorf's.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
The day he got out.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Larry thought it was legitimate until he heard a couple
of things by accident, like what like getting hired to
play fall guy in a phony robbery?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You mean Bergendorf was in sure till this morning.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
They think good Larry would be a handy guy to
have hanging around with his big fat prison record when
the diamonds disappeared. That's what he told me. And I
believe him.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I love him.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Whether or not you believe or love me or him,
I do not care. I also do not care what
kind of a rap you pin on me. When this
is all over, all I want is time enough to
do a couple of errands. Now hoisted out of that
chair and put it down in the closet there.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Do you hear what I said? Yes, ma'am, I was wrong?
She was no Angena happily in the closet had a
light in it. So I settled down on a headbox
(19:32):
and read some old copies of Mademoiselle until five point
thirty when I heard the door close, but with sound
proof outside walls, no window, a double slab door with
a lock she thoughtfully filled with gum. Was almost seven
when I got back to my office. The next move,
of course, was to call Lieutenant Dundee and why's up
the Los Angeles Police on Galliano. I picked up the
phone and put it down four times. There was no
(19:53):
use kidding myself. The range she told was pretty wild,
but there was something about the way she told it.
And I will.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
And here, Yeah, you remember me this morning? George is
the technician from the X ray Mobile unit.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, George, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (20:08):
The funny thing that girl thirty four chests?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
You remember the blonde. Oh yeah, I remember very well, George.
What about the blonde?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Well, I tried to call her. Operator says there's no
such number and the company has no record of a Bernice.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
She was using a phony moniker, George. Her name's Patricia Conroy.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Oh, now, why would she do that?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well, our girl's gotta be careful, you know, she does
for sure. How come? How come?
Speaker 7 (20:30):
I I kind of took an interest in her case,
you know, I rushed the pictures through as soon as
we closed up tonight.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
She is an incipient case.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Oh yes, I wanted the wiser up right away.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You see here? Yes?
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Oh, this is no no, This one's Johnny Stroud. I
took him when he wasn't looking. I told him I
was testing. He was right at that nothing wrong with him.
But I always say you never never how.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
About the girl? How about how about the girl?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Cold?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:57):
Yes, yes, here now now look you see this shadowy
part here?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, hey, wait a minute, I was looking at the
shadow part. I was looking at something at the left
side of the picture, right where the inside coat pocket
would be the clear black outline of the Kimberley Cross.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Do you mean she had this thing?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah? Yeah, give me the phone.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Well, I thought it was one of those clips he
makes the girls wear on the phone.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The phone.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Okay, Spade, Johnnie Strad Look, I got news for it.
I got news for you too. I spotted that bronde
again where in the bar on Connie Street talking to guests?
Who you mean Galliano? Who's he? Never mind? Never mind?
Who was she drinking with? Topadopolis? The biggest jewelry fence
on the coast for you now outside of Apote Jones
(21:44):
and near Post. I think the numbers. I'll bet them
five minutes.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Like I told you, Spade, I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Argue, She says she doesn't want to argue. Samad too bad. Uh,
I don't mind telling you. I'm a little burned up, baby.
I fell for that line you handed me this afternoon.
I didn't even mind sitting in your closet for two hours.
What's that sure? She's got a thirty two tucked away
here somewhere? Had me looking up the barrel while she distarted.
It was got the cross, honey? You or Galioto?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
We don't know anything about it?
Speaker 1 (22:17):
And what were you doing in that bar with Papanapolis?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Larry said?
Speaker 8 (22:20):
Whoever had it would try to move it through him.
I thought I could get to him, but I was wrong.
How did that sound?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Look?
Speaker 8 (22:28):
I walked into Bergendorf's this morning.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Why'd you run out?
Speaker 8 (22:31):
The vault was open, furniture was overturned. Bergendorf didn't answer
when I called.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I think it was a setup for.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Larry to check in and he was on his waist.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
It does sound, Sonny, It sure does.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I don't lie.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
I guess I could make up a better story than.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Oh you're doing great, white Larry Blowtom?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
You need a diagram? He was scared.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
What chance is the next convict when it's his story
against someone else's.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
What did you do with the Teddy two? Here's the
big question, honey, I did send anything else? Where are
the diamonds?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I know?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Look, you're a real modest girl. Forture she has a liar.
You're a sensation.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Believe me.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You had the Kimberly Cross in your inside cold pocket
when you came into the wagon this morning.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
What are you talking about it?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I'll get it the X ray. Baby. Take a look.
You asked for a diagram. There it is, and you're
inside left pocket.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Hello, mister Spade, Yeah, this is George the technician again,

Although great strides have been taken towards staffing out the disease,
it still remains a menace. Last year alone, it caused
fifty thousand deaths in the United States, fifty thousand needless
deaths because TV can be controlled and cured if caught

Carnlio of San Francisco.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
What the Antituberculosis campaign is giving to public for free

Oh chest X ray handley parking opposite the Bergendorf Gallery.
So inside mister Stroud can take for himself a plant.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Get it clever, clever.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
The free gratis auto bus for chest X rays was
a square end job, complete with reception compartment, X ray
machine and attendem, the latter of sincere type with horn
rim glasses and white starch bluffs. I use the word
sincere advisedly, since he was at the moment doing a
selling job on Johnny Strode.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
You know what I always say, Stroud wh do you
always say?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Job?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
You never can tell about a call, you'll never never
see you.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
See right there, I got a cold.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Maybe eight to five, it's only a cold.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
But five to eight.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Let me take a picture of.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
No charge, no pain, no dice.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Go away, go away?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Oh yeah, good, good, Come on in, come.
Speaker 1 (06:44):

Speaker 7 (06:47):
You realize you're standing right in front of my X
ray machine.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We'll move when you get a customer.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Customers, Yes, where are they? Where are those chests? If
people only knew that eight to five?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It may be a cold brief you on this space.
It was brief, all right? How do you make it?
Fourteen vulgar sized diamonds looking for a buyer, sunset of
damnity and suring Bergendorf against loss during the twenty four
hours they're on his hand. That's two for you. That's
two against me too. Oh like quite a sunset indemnity?
Neat outside of help when they have you? And why
are you playing like a movie dick when a sensible
(07:19):
thing to do is to sit down next to the
exhibit with both eyes open and a rot under your arm?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
What are you doing George, I'm testing my machine.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Done with you, boy, George doesn't like me. I see that. Well.
I guess the boss left out one item sam a tip. Yeah, yeah,
last night some schmoke called him around midnight and got
him out of bed. Oh Runcible is a pessimist. You know,
when Sunset indemnities on the line for a quarter of
a million, he tends to get jumpy. Who had the tip? Anonymous?
(07:49):
They all are right from the open. The guy says,
somebody's gonna take a run and jump at the Kimberly
Cross while it's at Bergendorf's. Needless to safe with the
balance of the night, Uncible does not sleep. Note today
we got three enforcements, Jogi. Yeah, I'm going to leave
you now, George, to take my post across the street
while mister speed. Hey wait a minute, Johnny, Look, look
(08:13):
in front of Bergendor's. The Dame the dame dude paraphrase.
Bergendorf calling her a dame was like calling the Kimberly
Cross a hunk of jewelry. But that's not what interested me,
at least not right then. She was walking back and
forth in front of Bergendorf's like a kid at the
(08:33):
dentist door, trying to get up the nerve to push
the button. Quoting from my notes, it says nine O
two AM. Girl five feet two, blonde, early twenties, great
sweet suit.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Spent a few.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Indecisive minutes in front of Bergendorfs, finally went in. She
came out almost immediately started west on Sutter, then evidently
saw a patrol officer approaching on the same side of street.
Hurriedly crossed toward our post in Public Health Department Mobile
Unit number two and entered Hello, Well, good morning, good morning, Am.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Hi too early for the Oh you're just in time.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
First customer of the day. Let's see now, name Martin Martin,
first name, Bernice.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Address.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
She wasn't a very good liar. While she was telling
him her name was Bernice Martin. She filled with a
leather handbag with the initials PC on it. They're enough
to read from across the street. George filled the form
out and moved her around to the machine. Buy not
a cop She was ducking and walked by and turned
the corner.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Shall I no, No, it won't be necessary to take
off your coat?
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Is this all right?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
That's good?
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Stand right there, old still, Now take a deep breath.
Hold it, it's all there is to it. You're doing
a wise thing, lady.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
You think so, certainly.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Eight to five it's only a cold, But five to
eight you never never know. Eh, here's your stuff with
your i'mber honest. We'll notify you in a few days.
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Whereupon this PC also down to the corner and into
a drug store. Five minutes later, she still hadn't come out.
Stroud was beginning to champ at the bit. So watch Sam.
So she's worried. Ah, she's ducking cops. She's using a
phony name or her girlfriend's handbag. Look, I'm going hey,
wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm sure I've seen
her somewhere before where I don't know, but I think
it was around headquarter. Now, who's playing movie? Jac Look
(10:31):
it's ten after nine. I'll go over and settle down
next to the Vogue of Diamonds, and you make yourself
comfy with Georgie.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
If I get busy out, you.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Go pies on the customers going in and out. There's
a good loud burglar alarm over the door there. You
can hear it in the block away. You see what
I mean. It's good raga, Holy cow. Stroud took the
gallery and I set sail, with the corner drug store
pulling up. In twenty seconds flat, she was gone. Of course.
(11:00):
The druggist was at the fountain mixing a coat, but
she spilled when I reached the cross and grabbed them
by the lapels. Blonde you saying, yeah, yeah, young gray suit. Hmm.
I told you, Jack, she just came in here. I know.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
What do you want to know about her?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
What you do telephone? No? She was just like you
asked me about a guy?
Speaker 7 (11:17):
What guy?
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Larry Galliano? His name is?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I want to know if i'd seen him come by
this morning? Who's he? I don't know? Did she describe him?
Didn't have to Pictures on page one in the morning paper.
Here take a look. There was no time to dawdle,
but I gave her ten seconds. Larry Galliano, a one
time gas station stick up artist, had just been released
(11:42):
from Quenton after doing five years. On the way across
the street to Bergendorfs. It came back to me where
I had seen her standing outside the courtroom crying when
they sentenced him five years ago. Oh yeah, Bergendorf, Yeah yeah.
(12:02):
Shot from behind the stones needless to say, maybe you
were right about that day. No, no, she didn't have time.
Someone was hiding in here waiting for Bergendorf's open up
this morning. How'd you get out? It must be a
back door in this joint. I'll check it. The phones
on the desk.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Wake up Lieutenant Endy.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Right, how he love it too? Two of us holding
hands across the street. Well, Johnny, look, look it's me Berkendorf,
same Spade. He's checking the back door. Who did it? Oh,
double double crust me one, it is all who what
are you talking about? It was as plain as a
(12:46):
man in his condition could have made it obvious to
anyone with average intelligence. But for stupid Sam, it was
still a long voyage hole. You are listening to the
weekly adventure of radio's most famous detective, Sam Spade. Three

(14:04):
Kimberly Cross Caper. Tonight's adventure with Sam's Bay. It was
a dirty, selfish trick, but I left Johnny Stroud at
the Bergendorf Gallery to play for Cheesy with Dundee in company,
knowing in advance pretty much how the pladda was going
to run. Then called the Chronicle and found the picture
(14:25):
of Larry Galliano had been taken yesterday as they walked
out of a flea bag on Mission Street called the
Aeolian Hotel. You're Galliano? Yeah, sure, sure, sure, I know
him stage here night before last, until I found out

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Now out of the way, boy on the way.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Look all I want, madam, is one moment of your time.
I already told you, boy, I don't know no girl
never heard of him trying.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
To want her brother.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Well wait a minute, now, will you just take a
look at.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
There s no time?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Well missus landlady, I'm afraid you've lost off. What Yeah,
you were lying to win a bagless vacuum cleaner. You know?
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Oh what wait wait, wait, wait, wait a minute, curly wat.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
What do you want to know?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Bud?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yes, wala, This Scaliano just might be using another name.
This is his picture right here. Oh yes, now I
will rephrase my question. Has he been around? Nope? I see, lady,
Well do I win?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I am sorry, but stand by for the giant jackpot
is an electric. I patted her cheek, made a detour
around her, and left, figuring to check with the parole board.
But as I was climbing into the cabin in front
of the building. A stray thought hit me, and I
went back to the doorway in case the name plates again,
(16:43):
this time for someone with the initials i'd remembered seeing
on the blonde handbag PC. I did better. Patricia Conroy
was living an apartment four old tube. I buzzed four times,
then tried the door. It was open. I gave the
living room and bedroom a fast hoss, moved onto the kitchen,
tased a hammer full of laundry on the back porch.
Result nil. I'm about decided I was in the wrong
(17:05):
apartment when I noticed something that changed my mind. I
crumpled up envelope in a wastepaper basket in the living
room with today's date on it mark Western Airlines Flight
six to Los Angeles, passenger LP Galliano. I had the
phone in one hand and a finger on the dial
and put it down. Huh, oh, oh, Are you going
to put the.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
Phone down or do I.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Have to shoot?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
You mean there's no third choice?
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Put it down?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Sure? Now, I sit down.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
You'll be here for a while.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Huh.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
His plane lands at Burbank in a half hour. If
you have any dates between now and four point thirty,
I get mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Mind if I smoke, go ahead. You know, uh, this
is pretty heavy handed stuff for a knife.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
You know, I've grown up a lot in the last
two days.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Enough, honey, or if you wouldn't be stooging for Galliano.
He can't run away from this kind of rack.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
You know, forty eight hours, that's how long Larry's been
out of the pen.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Well, he didn't waste any time getting back in shrine. Look,
what's your name, spade?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Spade?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
What if I told you Larry Galliano had nothing to do.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
With it, I might give you quite an argument, and.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
I don't feel like arguing.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I'll just tell you good.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
Someone offered him the job at Bergendorf's.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
The day he got out.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Larry thought it was legitimate until he heard a couple
of things by accident, like what like getting hired to
play fall guy in a phony robbery?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You mean Bergendorf was in sure till this morning.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
They think good Larry would be a handy guy to
have hanging around with his big fat prison record when
the diamonds disappeared. That's what he told me. And I
believe him.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I love him.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Whether or not you believe or love me or him,
I do not care. I also do not care what
kind of a rap you pin on me. When this
is all over, all I want is time enough to
do a couple of errands. Now hoisted out of that
chair and put it down in the closet there.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Do you hear what I said? Yes, ma'am, I was wrong?
She was no Angena happily in the closet had a
light in it. So I settled down on a headbox
(19:32):
and read some old copies of Mademoiselle until five point
thirty when I heard the door close, but with sound
proof outside walls, no window, a double slab door with
a lock she thoughtfully filled with gum. Was almost seven
when I got back to my office. The next move,
of course, was to call Lieutenant Dundee and why's up
the Los Angeles Police on Galliano. I picked up the
phone and put it down four times. There was no
(19:53):
use kidding myself. The range she told was pretty wild,
but there was something about the way she told it.
And I will.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
And here, Yeah, you remember me this morning? George is
the technician from the X ray Mobile unit.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, George, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (20:08):
The funny thing that girl thirty four chests?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
You remember the blonde. Oh yeah, I remember very well, George.
What about the blonde?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Well, I tried to call her. Operator says there's no

side of the picture, right where the inside coat pocket
would be the clear black outline of the Kimberley Cross.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Do you mean she had this thing?
Speaker 1 (21:18):

here somewhere? Had me looking up the barrel while she distarted.
It was got the cross, honey? You or Galioto?

I thought I could get to him, but I was wrong.
How did that sound?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (22:27):

glasses and a black lace.

Although great strides have been taken towards staffing out the disease,
