No more? Keep reader? ButErnie getting a kick out of this too,
aren't you? Hello? Hello?This is rid of Jordan. Yes,
(12:07):
this is a bit. I've beentrying to reach you for the past
half art. What is it?I hate to body your miss Jordan?
The party of two all nine,I've been complaining of a disturbance. I
haven't been a notice. He claimshe hurt someone nearly he's mistaken. There's
been absolutely nobody here but miss Jordan. It was just the one who one
(12:39):
of those creams, one of thosebells that now and then one of them.
It was just what m first timeI've known it to fail list them
alone? Ah, I knowah thatI Knowah, I beg your partner.
(13:03):
I was afraid the charm had beenbroken. You see, every time I
walk in here singing that tune,I find a client. How fortunate for
you? You know that's a neverof opinion. You're a victor. Conrad
an't here that's right for you.Won't think I'm presumptuous if I ask how
you got in here. I gottired of waiting outside, so I used
(13:24):
these skeleton keys. Ah An honestman, don't mind me taking the liberty
here, not at all. No, I want everyone to field at Malone's
office is their home. What's onyour mind? Conrading, Have you seen
this attractive brunette explain in hotel roomRita Jordan, age twenty nine, was
(13:46):
there holding my daughter to the murder? Your daughter, missus Janet Moore.
I'd like you to represent her,and of course she's innocent. Of course,
how could Janet have killed Rita whenI did? That's right, when
you did. I seem to haveamazed you, mister Malone. Perhaps you
can do the same to the police. Shall we go before returning to the
(14:22):
amazing mister Malone? A few wordsfrom your announcer, and now back to
the amazing mister Malone. It mustgo to prove something or other. Maybe
it's the luck of the Irish,but how many lawyers can walk in their
(14:43):
officers and find a self confessed killerwaiting for them. Two minutes later,
Conrad and I were in our cabon our way to police headquarters. I
just couldn't wait to see Lieutenant Brooks'sface. I bet myself five bucks that
I can predict his opening line.And you want to know something I won.
If it doesn't be amazing, misterMalone, Well that's five dollars I
(15:05):
own myself. I knew you weregoing to say that, and far be
it from me to disappoint you.You know, mister Conrad, ah sure.
My brother in law is one ofhis best customers. He says he'd
rather borrow money from Conrad than froma bank. Please thank him for me.
I'll be glad to what's the matterof your arm? That's another story,
But why not tell it now?I haven't heard a good one in
(15:26):
years. You must be hanging aroundwith a dull crowd, now, Malone,
that's no way to talk about yourself. Whatever happened to the typical dumb
cup we used to hear about.They've all gone into radio? What's on
your mind? I represent Janet Moore. Janet Moore, the girl you're holding
for the rider Jordan kill her husband? No, mister conried? Did he's
(15:46):
a father? Well, if you'rerepresenting her, it stands to reason she's
Ellison. Well, of course youwon't thank me Bold if I ask who
did kill Rita Jordan? I didwhat? And I don't regret it was
destroying my daughter's happiness. Wow,it's very noble of your con raid,
I tell you I killed her,Lieutenant, What did you do with a
(16:07):
knife? Knife? You certainly didn'tslit her throat with one of them alone's
sharp jokes. I disposed of itin the customary fashion. And what is
the customary fashion? I who haddone the sewer? Wow? What do
you say, Lieutenant? I say, you better get yourself another confession?
Why there are a couple of thingswrong with Conrad's. First of all,
(16:29):
we have a signed confession from hisdaughter. She made it to protect me.
Let's see it, lieutenant. Ican assure you it's in perfect order.
I tell you I killed this Jordan, well, not with a knife.
You didn't, according to this read. I was shocked there. Yeah.
Wow, it's been nice seeing youalone. Dropping again when you get
another confession. I just love hearinghim. Yes, I'm I'm looking for
(17:03):
her anymore. I'm sorry, mister, I'm very busy. Oh this won't
take long. Are you going toget out of here? Relax? And
he my name's John Jane Malone.I don't care. Did you say Malone?
I must have. Well, I'mglad to meet him alone. I
was just on my way over toyour office. I don't think you would
have found me there a sit down? Please, thank you all. Would
you like nothing but thought? Mywife didn't kill reach to alone. She
(17:27):
signed a confession. She did itto shield me. Do you need it?
Yes? I killed Reacher once again. Please, I killed him alone.
I was out of my mind aboutit. She got deether still from
my path in law. He caughtme. Is that how Conrad was shot.
Yes, I must have been crazy. Then then when I went over
(17:48):
to Sea Reacher, her husband wasthere, and can't you see what happened?
Look at my face. Yeah,I've been admiring him since I walked
in. We'll go on. There'snothing more to tell. When I came
to Jordan was gone. Apparently hehadn't searched me because I still had the
gun. I do though, myfather in law, and you use it
on reader. Yes, you stillgot the gun? Yes? Yeah,
(18:12):
wow, I think this order.Do it all right? Anny, let's
go still. You let your shape, lieutenant close? Nah, just once,
so were lightly Joe. You justdelivered to me. I'm gonna make
(18:36):
you really pretty. Why don't youtake to Cutty's throat? Wow? If
it does, it certainly is so. You're loafing on the city's time.
Please don't snitch on him alone.I swear I'll never do it again.
All right, Joel, let's getstunned. Listen, you clown. You
know who this man is. Yeah, joll the barrow, I mean him?
Oh, I loo more. Ididn't say you all right, Annie,

(19:22):
Yeah, this is your respectable place. It's all right, Joe.
So this is the murder web.That's right, lieutenant. He bought a
Conrad with a too funny. Doesn'tseem to have been fired recently. Oh,
he explained that to me. Hecleaned it because he put it away.
It was one thing I'd like mistermoreto explain. This is a thirty
(19:44):
two coloromatic. So so reader waskilled with a German loger. She want

yourself? Or would you prefer oneof Joe's razors? Oh? Give him

(20:14):
here. I guess you'll remember me, Jordan. Well, I got a
feeling I read in you somewhere andI watching them. No, don't tell
me it's a more, isn't itsure? Anymore? That's very funny.
I'd ask you to sit down Ernie. But I got a feeling you're not
going to be here, Love,that's in your mind, your wife's murder.
I've been thinking about it too.I don't know how I'm going to
(20:37):
get along without reading The old Homesteadwon't be the same without all those empty
bottles. The police claim my wifeJody. Yeah, I heard it on
the radio and the stage. Hemade a confession. She didn't do it,
Jordan, she confessed to particularly.That was real nice of her.
You killed her. I don't knowwhat you're saying. Yes I do.
You're going with me to a lawyerwho's a lawyer, John jam And why
(21:00):
would I want to see him forto tell him the whole story? Obviously
you're a boy who don't learn fromexperience. Oh you think so well?
You forgot the lesson I tought you. It's just lucky for you. I'm
a patient man, so I don'tmind teaching you a kid. I'm herely
it's time to call him a classto water. Hey, x, sy
(21:30):
Xy, I give you a littlefeller. Oh thanks. I wouldn't want
to trouble nor trouble at all.Mister Malone. The thing to know me,
well, you're a famous New YorkLandmark like the fish markets. Hey,
that's pretty good. I wish Ihad done that here. Oh well,
(21:53):
that wouldn't be a gun in yourpocket. Yeah, I guess it
would get in Okay, alright,al find us some nice quiet spot where
we can talk. No hy dramatic. It isn't fussy. When he steals
a car. I see you're LeoJordan doorge of that. I recognize you
(22:18):
from the description. I was awfullysorry to hear about your wife. You've
got the ideas who killed it?No, but I understand you had.
And where do you understand that from? Ernie says you're fixing the pin of
wrap on me. Well, Ihadn't considered it before. Now that you
had, I think it's a greatidea. So you're going to frame me.
Oh say you really know me,don't you? I know pretty like
(22:41):
you. Let me give you alittle tip my loan. You've out of
my hair, And if I don't, then you've got to expect me to
get into your merely goes to showyou never see yourself as other sea All
along, I was under the impressionI was just a shade under six foot
(23:04):
when I came to this trip.I was at least two inches taller.
It might have been that lump onmy head that made the difference. Ah,
this is a peachy one, soround. So first, get your
hands off. Am I hurting you? Dear? Hey? Where did you
come from? But that matter?Where did I come from? Which question
(23:29):
you want me to answer? First? Say? Where am I there?
The zoo? Somebody must have droppedyou off head first? When I heard
about it, naturally I dashed down. Oh thank you, Oh, don't
thank me, counselor. This sortof thing doesn't happen often enough to suit
me old it at this time?Leo Jordan ras husband Ron, Why only
(23:49):
thought I was trying to frame himfor a murder? Were you chrelatttenant?
That's the way I operate. Ohso that's the secret of your success,
Brooks, Jam, I didn't killRiada? Jordan, don't tell me you
got another confession. I couldn't standit. Well, missus Moore is innocent,
and who done it? I don'tknow. So let's get all our
suspects together and play blind man's butt. And if that doesn't work, I
(24:12):
can always take Jordan's idea and framesomebody. Hand me my head and let's
go all right for in spide.Hello Janet, Oh honey, what have
(24:41):
they done to you? Nothing?Money? Oh this is a very touching
see you keep out of this,Jordan. I wish I could, but
if I name alone insisted on draggingme in? Did someone mentioned my name?
Yeah? Hello Leo? Have youbeen here? Long? Coo?
Long? All right? Assessment?Offen him up? Will you do the
(25:06):
honor? Mister Malone? Triumph stopme Hire Conrad. Sorry, we had
to do this. That's perfectly allrightful. I knew you'd take it like
a grand trooper. You are well, missus. More and gentlemen, not
to keep you in suspense. Weare gambled here tonight. Who determine who
killed our beloved sister reader? Nowthis case was complicated by one thing.
(25:33):
We had free confessions, which iswho overpassed? Obviously someone was lying.
It wasn't me. You try framingme. Oh we don't have to,
Jordan. Why you you're no problemat all. You're the only one in
our little cast who didn't compess,so so obviously you didn't kill readers.
Now look oh no, I'm sureof and he has no motive if he
(25:57):
wanted to get rid of his wife, or he had to do was walk
up. Well, Jenny didn't color, Yes, I didn't know. I'll
never believe that. No, No, Ernie, you should, especially when
you know the coop. Are youinsino? Yes? I am. You
killed Reader, Jordan, listen,don't complain, Ernie. I especially staged
this little scene down here so youwouldn't have to do any more traveling.
(26:21):
Try and show a little more appreciation. Huh. It was just one thing,
one another cream and came along.What's bothering you little man? Well,
(26:41):
I can see why Ernie killed Reader, can't you? The one?
Oh? I can said? Hehated it, like he said, what
gets me? His wife confessed.Wow, that was a smart move,
Brooks. And he knew sooner orlater we'd get around to him, so
he'd beat us to the punch andoffered himself as a sacrifice. You notice
he gave himself an out. Youmean the business of a gun? Yeah.
(27:03):
Yeah. He disposed of the lugaryou've done, Rita and got the
code automatic. He knew the minuteyou saw it you'd be positive he was
in us. Oh, I wassure. And once you gave him a
clean bill of health, you'd probablynever bother him again. You'd think here
was a man who was just tryingto protect his little wife. But you
saw all throwers, dark mafarious plant. Well isn't that what you'd expect of
(27:26):
me? Of course, after all, aren't you the amazing Malone. Let's
have my come fleete Billy, theamazing mister Malone much better. Well,
now it's my turn to amaze you. How we've been coming into this joint
every week for years, and alwaysyou grabbed the checks. But tonight,
tonight's different. I'm gonna pay myown. Good Night Malone, and now
(28:07):
once again back to the amazing misterMalone. Well that's it for now,
but I'll be back at the sametime next week, and I trust you
will be too. Still, andI'll say good night. The Amazing Mister
Malone is a Grace Gibson radio productionstarring John Soul as John J. Malone
and directed by Laurence Za says welcomeback. A pretty interesting episode here,
(28:47):
and I think one of the bestof the series. By the way,
we don't know on the first twowhen they originally aired in the United States
series, but we do know thatthe last two actually aired back to back
the dude and they all confessed.Aired on August ninth, in August sixteenth
(29:11):
of nineteen forty seven, and thatwas in the United States, And that
was back when the show was calledMurder and Mister Malone. So even when
it was called Murder and Mister Malone, I think the trend in the show
was towards changing the name to theamazing Mister Malone. Now we turned a
(29:33):
listener comments and feedback, and Timsaid the Irony of life. As I
listened to episode ten forty eight,I heard the comment that I posted.
One thing I said was that Ilistened to many shows more than once.
This time I noticed that one ofthe bad guys is Jack Reid. The
guy from Rhode Island has comments readwith Jack read in the episode. Jack
(29:55):
Reid is a long serving US Senatorstill enjoying endless hours of enjoyment with the
show. Each show has at leastone little jewel, which makes it worth
thirty minutes to find out. SoI listen as I walk for my health.
Well, thanks so much, Tim, and I appreciate appreciate you listening.
(30:15):
Uh. The thing that can sometimesbe interesting me is some of these
names will have significance, but that'snot the biggest political significance. Actually,
for a while we had a listenerwho was regularly posting on Facebook whose name
(30:36):
was Charlie christ who was at thattime the governor of Florida and a pretty
controversial political figure. So whenever Iread his comments, I always said,
you know, Charlie and Florida Rights, rather than saying his last name.
And I try avoid saying last namesusually if I said it is a bit
(30:57):
of a slab, not a bigthing, you, Sully. But thanks
for the comments, Tim. Allright, well, that will do it
for today. We will be backon Wednesday as Johnny Dowler continues the Laughing
Matter, and next week we'll beback with mister Chameleon. In the meantime,
I do want to wish everyone awonderful Christmas and I will talk to

(11:41):
No more? Keep reader? ButErnie getting a kick out of this too,
aren't you? Hello? Hello?This is rid of Jordan. Yes,
(12:07):
this is a bit. I've beentrying to reach you for the past
half art. What is it?I hate to body your miss Jordan?
The party of two all nine,I've been complaining of a disturbance. I
haven't been a notice. He claimshe hurt someone nearly he's mistaken. There's
been absolutely nobody here but miss Jordan. It was just the one who one
(12:39):
of those creams, one of thosebells that now and then one of them.
It was just what m first timeI've known it to fail list them
alone? Ah, I knowah thatI Knowah, I beg your partner.
(13:03):
I was afraid the charm had beenbroken. You see, every time I
walk in here singing that tune,I find a client. How fortunate for
you? You know that's a neverof opinion. You're a victor. Conrad
an't here that's right for you.Won't think I'm presumptuous if I ask how
you got in here. I gottired of waiting outside, so I used
(13:24):
these skeleton keys. Ah An honestman, don't mind me taking the liberty
here, not at all. No, I want everyone to field at Malone's
office is their home. What's onyour mind? Conrading, Have you seen
this attractive brunette explain in hotel roomRita Jordan, age twenty nine, was
(13:46):
there holding my daughter to the murder? Your daughter, missus Janet Moore.
I'd like you to represent her,and of course she's innocent. Of course,
how could Janet have killed Rita whenI did? That's right, when
you did. I seem to haveamazed you, mister Malone. Perhaps you
can do the same to the police. Shall we go before returning to the
(14:22):
amazing mister Malone? A few wordsfrom your announcer, and now back to
the amazing mister Malone. It mustgo to prove something or other. Maybe
it's the luck of the Irish,but how many lawyers can walk in their
(14:43):
officers and find a self confessed killerwaiting for them. Two minutes later,
Conrad and I were in our cabon our way to police headquarters. I
just couldn't wait to see Lieutenant Brooks'sface. I bet myself five bucks that
I can predict his opening line.And you want to know something I won.
If it doesn't be amazing, misterMalone, Well that's five dollars I
(15:05):
own myself. I knew you weregoing to say that, and far be
it from me to disappoint you.You know, mister Conrad, ah sure.
My brother in law is one ofhis best customers. He says he'd
rather borrow money from Conrad than froma bank. Please thank him for me.
I'll be glad to what's the matterof your arm? That's another story,
But why not tell it now?I haven't heard a good one in
(15:26):
years. You must be hanging aroundwith a dull crowd, now, Malone,
that's no way to talk about yourself. Whatever happened to the typical dumb
cup we used to hear about.They've all gone into radio? What's on
your mind? I represent Janet Moore. Janet Moore, the girl you're holding
for the rider Jordan kill her husband? No, mister conried? Did he's
(15:46):
a father? Well, if you'rerepresenting her, it stands to reason she's
Ellison. Well, of course youwon't thank me Bold if I ask who
did kill Rita Jordan? I didwhat? And I don't regret it was
destroying my daughter's happiness. Wow,it's very noble of your con raid,
I tell you I killed her,Lieutenant, What did you do with a
(16:07):
knife? Knife? You certainly didn'tslit her throat with one of them alone's
sharp jokes. I disposed of itin the customary fashion. And what is
the customary fashion? I who haddone the sewer? Wow? What do
you say, Lieutenant? I say, you better get yourself another confession?
Why there are a couple of thingswrong with Conrad's. First of all,
(16:29):
we have a signed confession from hisdaughter. She made it to protect me.
Let's see it, lieutenant. Ican assure you it's in perfect order.
I tell you I killed this Jordan, well, not with a knife.
You didn't, according to this read. I was shocked there. Yeah.
Wow, it's been nice seeing youalone. Dropping again when you get
another confession. I just love hearinghim. Yes, I'm I'm looking for
(17:03):
her anymore. I'm sorry, mister, I'm very busy. Oh this won't
take long. Are you going toget out of here? Relax? And
he my name's John Jane Malone.I don't care. Did you say Malone?
I must have. Well, I'mglad to meet him alone. I
was just on my way over toyour office. I don't think you would
have found me there a sit down? Please, thank you all. Would
you like nothing but thought? Mywife didn't kill reach to alone. She
(17:27):
signed a confession. She did itto shield me. Do you need it?
Yes? I killed Reacher once again. Please, I killed him alone.
I was out of my mind aboutit. She got deether still from
my path in law. He caughtme. Is that how Conrad was shot.
Yes, I must have been crazy. Then then when I went over
(17:48):
to Sea Reacher, her husband wasthere, and can't you see what happened?
Look at my face. Yeah,I've been admiring him since I walked
in. We'll go on. There'snothing more to tell. When I came
to Jordan was gone. Apparently hehadn't searched me because I still had the
gun. I do though, myfather in law, and you use it
on reader. Yes, you stillgot the gun? Yes? Yeah,
(18:12):
wow, I think this order.Do it all right? Anny, let's
go still. You let your shape, lieutenant close? Nah, just once,
so were lightly Joe. You justdelivered to me. I'm gonna make
(18:36):
you really pretty. Why don't youtake to Cutty's throat? Wow? If
it does, it certainly is so. You're loafing on the city's time.
Please don't snitch on him alone.I swear I'll never do it again.
All right, Joel, let's getstunned. Listen, you clown. You
know who this man is. Yeah, joll the barrow, I mean him?
Oh, I loo more. Ididn't say you all right, Annie,
(19:00):
break it to intensely. My wifedidn't kill readA lieutenant. I know
it was her father. We've beenall through that. Go on, Joe,
did you still in the back alittle bit? I killed a lieutenant?
You kill what I'm is there anotherone of your gags? Malal,
don't talk like a chump just becauseyou are one showing the gun. Annie,
(19:22):
Yeah, this is your respectable place. It's all right, Joe.
So this is the murder web.That's right, lieutenant. He bought a
Conrad with a too funny. Doesn'tseem to have been fired recently. Oh,
he explained that to me. Hecleaned it because he put it away.
It was one thing I'd like mistermoreto explain. This is a thirty
(19:44):
two coloromatic. So so reader waskilled with a German loger. She want
you heard me? Now? Howwould you like to use this gun on
yourself? Or would you prefer oneof Joe's razors? Oh? Give him
a nice dollo? It easy?I am coming. Well you look who's
(20:14):
here. I guess you'll remember me, Jordan. Well, I got a
feeling I read in you somewhere andI watching them. No, don't tell
me it's a more, isn't itsure? Anymore? That's very funny.
I'd ask you to sit down Ernie. But I got a feeling you're not
going to be here, Love,that's in your mind, your wife's murder.
I've been thinking about it too.I don't know how I'm going to
(20:37):
get along without reading The old Homesteadwon't be the same without all those empty
bottles. The police claim my wifeJody. Yeah, I heard it on
the radio and the stage. Hemade a confession. She didn't do it,
Jordan, she confessed to particularly.That was real nice of her.
You killed her. I don't knowwhat you're saying. Yes I do.
You're going with me to a lawyerwho's a lawyer, John jam And why
(21:00):
would I want to see him forto tell him the whole story? Obviously
you're a boy who don't learn fromexperience. Oh you think so well?
You forgot the lesson I tought you. It's just lucky for you. I'm
a patient man, so I don'tmind teaching you a kid. I'm herely
it's time to call him a classto water. Hey, x, sy
(21:30):
Xy, I give you a littlefeller. Oh thanks. I wouldn't want
to trouble nor trouble at all.Mister Malone. The thing to know me,
well, you're a famous New YorkLandmark like the fish markets. Hey,
that's pretty good. I wish Ihad done that here. Oh well,
(21:53):
that wouldn't be a gun in yourpocket. Yeah, I guess it
would get in Okay, alright,al find us some nice quiet spot where
we can talk. No hy dramatic. It isn't fussy. When he steals
a car. I see you're LeoJordan doorge of that. I recognize you
(22:18):
from the description. I was awfullysorry to hear about your wife. You've
got the ideas who killed it?No, but I understand you had.
And where do you understand that from? Ernie says you're fixing the pin of
wrap on me. Well, Ihadn't considered it before. Now that you
had, I think it's a greatidea. So you're going to frame me.
Oh say you really know me,don't you? I know pretty like
(22:41):
you. Let me give you alittle tip my loan. You've out of
my hair, And if I don't, then you've got to expect me to
get into your merely goes to showyou never see yourself as other sea All
along, I was under the impressionI was just a shade under six foot
(23:04):
when I came to this trip.I was at least two inches taller.
It might have been that lump onmy head that made the difference. Ah,
this is a peachy one, soround. So first, get your
hands off. Am I hurting you? Dear? Hey? Where did you
come from? But that matter?Where did I come from? Which question
(23:29):
you want me to answer? First? Say? Where am I there?
The zoo? Somebody must have droppedyou off head first? When I heard
about it, naturally I dashed down. Oh thank you, Oh, don't
thank me, counselor. This sortof thing doesn't happen often enough to suit
me old it at this time?Leo Jordan ras husband Ron, Why only
(23:49):
thought I was trying to frame himfor a murder? Were you chrelatttenant?
That's the way I operate. Ohso that's the secret of your success,
Brooks, Jam, I didn't killRiada? Jordan, don't tell me you
got another confession. I couldn't standit. Well, missus Moore is innocent,
and who done it? I don'tknow. So let's get all our
suspects together and play blind man's butt. And if that doesn't work, I
(24:12):
can always take Jordan's idea and framesomebody. Hand me my head and let's
go all right for in spide.Hello Janet, Oh honey, what have
(24:41):
they done to you? Nothing?Money? Oh this is a very touching
see you keep out of this,Jordan. I wish I could, but
if I name alone insisted on draggingme in? Did someone mentioned my name?
Yeah? Hello Leo? Have youbeen here? Long? Coo?
Long? All right? Assessment?Offen him up? Will you do the
(25:06):
honor? Mister Malone? Triumph stopme Hire Conrad. Sorry, we had
to do this. That's perfectly allrightful. I knew you'd take it like
a grand trooper. You are well, missus. More and gentlemen, not
to keep you in suspense. Weare gambled here tonight. Who determine who
killed our beloved sister reader? Nowthis case was complicated by one thing.
(25:33):
We had free confessions, which iswho overpassed? Obviously someone was lying.
It wasn't me. You try framingme. Oh we don't have to,
Jordan. Why you you're no problemat all. You're the only one in
our little cast who didn't compess,so so obviously you didn't kill readers.
Now look oh no, I'm sureof and he has no motive if he
(25:57):
wanted to get rid of his wife, or he had to do was walk
up. Well, Jenny didn't color, Yes, I didn't know. I'll
never believe that. No, No, Ernie, you should, especially when
you know the coop. Are youinsino? Yes? I am. You
killed Reader, Jordan, listen,don't complain, Ernie. I especially staged
this little scene down here so youwouldn't have to do any more traveling.
(26:21):
Try and show a little more appreciation. Huh. It was just one thing,
one another cream and came along.What's bothering you little man? Well,
(26:41):
I can see why Ernie killed Reader, can't you? The one?
Oh? I can said? Hehated it, like he said, what
gets me? His wife confessed.Wow, that was a smart move,
Brooks. And he knew sooner orlater we'd get around to him, so
he'd beat us to the punch andoffered himself as a sacrifice. You notice
he gave himself an out. Youmean the business of a gun? Yeah.
(27:03):
Yeah. He disposed of the lugaryou've done, Rita and got the
code automatic. He knew the minuteyou saw it you'd be positive he was
in us. Oh, I wassure. And once you gave him a
clean bill of health, you'd probablynever bother him again. You'd think here
was a man who was just tryingto protect his little wife. But you
saw all throwers, dark mafarious plant. Well isn't that what you'd expect of
(27:26):
me? Of course, after all, aren't you the amazing Malone. Let's
have my come fleete Billy, theamazing mister Malone much better. Well,
now it's my turn to amaze you. How we've been coming into this joint
every week for years, and alwaysyou grabbed the checks. But tonight,
tonight's different. I'm gonna pay myown. Good Night Malone, and now
(28:07):
once again back to the amazing misterMalone. Well that's it for now,
but I'll be back at the sametime next week, and I trust you
will be too. Still, andI'll say good night. The Amazing Mister
Malone is a Grace Gibson radio productionstarring John Soul as John J. Malone
and directed by Laurence Za says welcomeback. A pretty interesting episode here,
(28:47):
and I think one of the bestof the series. By the way,
we don't know on the first twowhen they originally aired in the United States
series, but we do know thatthe last two actually aired back to back
the dude and they all confessed.Aired on August ninth, in August sixteenth
(29:11):
of nineteen forty seven, and thatwas in the United States, And that
was back when the show was calledMurder and Mister Malone. So even when
it was called Murder and Mister Malone, I think the trend in the show
was towards changing the name to theamazing Mister Malone. Now we turned a
(29:33):
listener comments and feedback, and Timsaid the Irony of life. As I
listened to episode ten forty eight,I heard the comment that I posted.
One thing I said was that Ilistened to many shows more than once.
This time I noticed that one ofthe bad guys is Jack Reid. The
guy from Rhode Island has comments readwith Jack read in the episode. Jack
(29:55):
Reid is a long serving US Senatorstill enjoying endless hours of enjoyment with the
show. Each show has at leastone little jewel, which makes it worth
thirty minutes to find out. SoI listen as I walk for my health.
Well, thanks so much, Tim, and I appreciate appreciate you listening.
(30:15):
Uh. The thing that can sometimesbe interesting me is some of these
names will have significance, but that'snot the biggest political significance. Actually,
for a while we had a listenerwho was regularly posting on Facebook whose name
(30:36):
was Charlie christ who was at thattime the governor of Florida and a pretty
controversial political figure. So whenever Iread his comments, I always said,
you know, Charlie and Florida Rights, rather than saying his last name.
And I try avoid saying last namesusually if I said it is a bit
(30:57):
of a slab, not a bigthing, you, Sully. But thanks
for the comments, Tim. Allright, well, that will do it
for today. We will be backon Wednesday as Johnny Dowler continues the Laughing
Matter, and next week we'll beback with mister Chameleon. In the meantime,
I do want to wish everyone awonderful Christmas and I will talk to
(31:19):
you tomorrow and your comments to Boxthirteen at Great Detectus dot net and follow
us on Twitter. Radio Detectives fromBoise, Idaho. This is your host,
Adam Graham signing off.
