(06:54):
that ain't a spade? Here?Read this old newspaper clippon. All right,
they'll bugle. June twelve, nineteentwenty six, Ra of Border disappears.
It has been three months now sincethe daringholder of the llen g Express,
trained by Ahanc and his band ofespredos. For many months, Texas
(07:15):
was terrorized by this gang who wascalling card the ace of spades, became
a synonym for fear, robbery,and murder. Then suddenly, as if
the earth had literally swallowed him up, HNC and his gang disappeared. Oh,
your husband was Ahancy. That's right. He stole the entire loot of
the gang, and swimming me helpedhim. We all come east together with
(07:39):
over four hundred thousand dollars in asuitcase. And you've kept that secret all
these years. We kept it toourselves. Children never knew the truth.
Nobody never knew until I told youtonight, nobody except the man who left
the Ace of Spade. There wasonly one of the Yancy's old gang that
could have outlived whiskey guns on arope. He was the one with old
(08:00):
Crooked Nose. He why lived inmortal terror that some day he finds I'm
worried about it's my kids, Leeand Roy. Lee's in love with a
nice boy, and she's gonna marryhim. I think he'd marry her if
he knew her old man was AceYancy. What do you want me to
do? Find Crooked Nose and buyhim off. If you can, I'll
(08:22):
give him more than we cook andone have you won buy and I'll have
to kill him when it comes back. What makes you think he's coming back?
This came to me through the mailat the morning, by an envelope
inside another. Is either him orme is next? Unless you can get
to him before he gets here.Crooked Nose may be a devil, but
(08:45):
he'd never shoot nobody in the back. You're wrong with his Cardwright. I
guess you're not next after all,and scream and have been far from my
house, so we wouldn't have heardit. He had come from right out
here, and it was Lee hitthat devil's loose around here, and he
saw my gol screaming. I thought, well, I was afraid with mother.
(09:13):
Lee. We gotta find a clewith have a hand the tree just
a minute, miss card right.Oh, I didn't see you you scream
a minute ago? Yes I did. I'm sorry. Maybe you're doing out
here in the rain. I wassitting in the library when I thought I
(09:33):
saw somebody moving around outside the window. And then I saw a figure,
a man standing down here in thepark. You look suspicious. Why didn't
you call somebody? I don't know. Yes, it was because I thought
you thought you recognized Yes, Ithought it was slim. It came out
to see what I was doing.And then suddenly a man sprang out from
behind a tree and rushed past me. He startled me, and I guess
(09:56):
I screamed, did you recognize aman? No? No, it happens
so quickly. But he was tall, a big man. It must have
been him. Oh, mother,And just the way you are and keep
talking, what are you gonna do? I'm going to find out who it
is. What did you get upslow and turn around with your hands up?
(10:16):
I was wordering where you were almostkind even minute the goal, but

pretty obvious that cooked nos is gone. And the longer we sit here,

don't. I don't suppose nothing.I think Running knows what he's doing,
and I'm willing to play along withhim. Plant wait much longer. Oh,

You're gonna stay right here, allof him until I tell you you can

I'm crazy. That's what my oldman told me. That's crazy too.
(24:08):
You're gonna have me put away.I put him only you should have

Now I'm gonna kill you one ofthe time. You ain't got it
all yet, Roy, ain't youforgetting me? Keeps in and right like
you are, Roy, my gunsbeing pointing street at your back. Ever
since you're starting talking. Now,I got a little talk, a little
(24:51):
told I'm gonna move and you're agun. I try to kill you.
Fucking you shouldn't in a second.You're gonna get a change. I'm a
friend. This wasn't part about why. I'm sorry, mister run him,
but it's fast this way. Ihave bad to you to say, Potto,
who are you talking about? Tokill you? John? That I
ain't never shot nobody in the back, Come around quick and come around shooting?
(25:19):
Oh how do you get your flamerin this job making? What about
him? We got him? Writein my heart. We've got to get
you to a doctor. Flam.I think you know you? Oh he
answer him? Here, Listen tome, honey, you know me?
(25:41):
Good thing come out of its missedforget talk, should be happy my money,
get rid of it. It ain'ttoo good. Nothing the trouble.
Promise me, I'll misten to you. I promise Sam. He's dead,
(26:07):
Miss Carkwright. All you can dofor him now is to keep that promise.
Oh are you sure took a chanceputting on that phony nose and letting
me shoot out? You throw thewonder on him? I knew you couldn't
hit me, McKenzie. You neverhit anything yet that you aim that?
(26:29):
Oh yeah, when's your first tombleof the truth on him? When they
found the old lady dead in thebasement, I don't see how that told
you anything. I knew she waslooking for something on that workband. She
guessed the truth about Roy posing acrooked nose. She was checking up on
the putty. That's where he gotthe putty to make a phony nose.
And Roy followed her and saw thatshe was on the right track. That's
(26:52):
right, so he shot her inthe back. That was his worst mistake.
How are you maining, oh,missus Carr? I told me earlier
the crooked nose was a rat,but he'd never shoot anybody in the back.
That's when I decided there wasn't reallyany crooked nose at all. What
about the little guy Snake? Heand Roy made a deal, but Snake
double crossed in by black naming Leeon the side, so Roy had to
(27:15):
kill him. I wonder what willhappen to Lee. She's gonna marry Edney,
and she's going to give all theCarpwright money to charity. That Slim
was quite a guy who was right. Too hot. Money always burns your
fingers. The Cartwrights too nice agirl to go through life with scorch fen
(27:37):
in, Mackenzie, you've got anythingto eat in your pocket? Oh?
That's that, it seems. Ispend my life if I'm getting into trouble
(28:00):
and getting out of it. That'sat the same time I generally managed to
get some other people in and outof trouble too. Seeing you again,
hold on, welcome back. Ikind of got a hint as to who
(28:26):
the killer was when he threatened hisown mother if she didn't shut up.
Now, maybe it was meant tobe ambiguous, like he was concerned for
her life, for safety if shedidn't leave these issues alone. But it
did not come off that way,I mean, believe it or not.
(28:49):
I mean, given the subtlety ofthe actor's performance, you think it wouldn't
be so obvious, but it was. We turned now to listener comments and
feedback, and it received a questionfrom Leo who writes, were there any
shows during World War Two? Theyall seemed to be from nineteen forty six
(29:11):
to the fifties. What was inthe radio during the war on any of
the shows? Johnnie Dollar, misterX crime photographer The fat Man? Who
isn't that fat at two hundred andthirty nine pounds unless he is a short
guy? All right? Well,taking the fat man related episode question,
(29:33):
first, Jack Smart, who playedthe fat Man, was actually five foot
nine and in reality he was twohundred and seventy pounds. Oh, the
character was thirty one pounds alder andusing the modern measurement of bmi, that
comes out to about thirty five Forthe fat man's weight, which would put
(29:55):
him in the obese arrange, inbetween the obese very obese. Although I
know BMI is a controversial measure,but it's not all that far off the
beaten path to suggest the fat man'sfat, particularly the feet goes around say
an he's fat. Now, asto World War Two episodes, there are
(30:17):
not very many now of the showswe are doing. There are a handful
of episodes of The Man called Xfrom World War Two. You know,
we played them more than a yearago, but they are really quite good.
And then the first two Casey episodeswe have are from the World War
(30:40):
Two era. And the big problemthat we run into with World War two
programs is that the materials used fortranscription disc, which is what radio programs
that were sent out during that erawe're on, were made of vital war
(31:02):
materials, so they often ended upin drives. I was listening to a
recording where people were being encouraged toturn in their old records so that they
could be essentially recycled and turned intonew records for soldiers, and I imagine
the same fate happened to a lotof the transcription disk. So it is
(31:27):
really rare for us to have programsfrom World War Two. I think Nick
Carter probably had the most World WarTwo episodes in circulation of any of the
series that we'd end, and eventhose series which we do have some recordings
(31:48):
for, there are a lot ofmissing. For example, with Casey Crime
Photographer, we do have two episodesfrom World War Two, but one hundred
and four forty nine of the firstone hundred and fifty one Casey Crime Photographer
broadcast or missing. And of theWorld War two Man Called X episodes,
(32:12):
there were several different seasons and Ithink those are probably about eighty ninety percent
of the Man Called X during WorldWar Two is missing, and those are
ones that in terms of episodes incirculation, are pretty good for World War
two series. And I will addif you are interested in World War two
(32:34):
programs, I would encourage you tocheck out The War The War Dot Great
Detectives Dot and at its World Wartwo podcast I did mostly in two thousand

Fortune teller say it means dead?No, fortune teller, delve a why
(06:54):
that ain't a spade? Here?Read this old newspaper clippon. All right,
they'll bugle. June twelve, nineteentwenty six, Ra of Border disappears.
It has been three months now sincethe daringholder of the llen g Express,
trained by Ahanc and his band ofespredos. For many months, Texas
(07:15):
was terrorized by this gang who wascalling card the ace of spades, became
a synonym for fear, robbery,and murder. Then suddenly, as if
the earth had literally swallowed him up, HNC and his gang disappeared. Oh,
your husband was Ahancy. That's right. He stole the entire loot of
the gang, and swimming me helpedhim. We all come east together with
(07:39):
over four hundred thousand dollars in asuitcase. And you've kept that secret all
these years. We kept it toourselves. Children never knew the truth.
Nobody never knew until I told youtonight, nobody except the man who left
the Ace of Spade. There wasonly one of the Yancy's old gang that
could have outlived whiskey guns on arope. He was the one with old
(08:00):
Crooked Nose. He why lived inmortal terror that some day he finds I'm
worried about it's my kids, Leeand Roy. Lee's in love with a
nice boy, and she's gonna marryhim. I think he'd marry her if
he knew her old man was AceYancy. What do you want me to
do? Find Crooked Nose and buyhim off. If you can, I'll
(08:22):
give him more than we cook andone have you won buy and I'll have
to kill him when it comes back. What makes you think he's coming back?
This came to me through the mailat the morning, by an envelope
inside another. Is either him orme is next? Unless you can get
to him before he gets here.Crooked Nose may be a devil, but
(08:45):
he'd never shoot nobody in the back. You're wrong with his Cardwright. I
guess you're not next after all,and scream and have been far from my
house, so we wouldn't have heardit. He had come from right out
here, and it was Lee hitthat devil's loose around here, and he
saw my gol screaming. I thought, well, I was afraid with mother.
(09:13):
Lee. We gotta find a clewith have a hand the tree just
a minute, miss card right.Oh, I didn't see you you scream
a minute ago? Yes I did. I'm sorry. Maybe you're doing out
here in the rain. I wassitting in the library when I thought I
(09:33):
saw somebody moving around outside the window. And then I saw a figure,
a man standing down here in thepark. You look suspicious. Why didn't
you call somebody? I don't know. Yes, it was because I thought
you thought you recognized Yes, Ithought it was slim. It came out
to see what I was doing.And then suddenly a man sprang out from
behind a tree and rushed past me. He startled me, and I guess
(09:56):
I screamed, did you recognize aman? No? No, it happens
so quickly. But he was tall, a big man. It must have
been him. Oh, mother,And just the way you are and keep
talking, what are you gonna do? I'm going to find out who it
is. What did you get upslow and turn around with your hands up?
(10:16):
I was wordering where you were almostkind even minute the goal, but
he got a word your hands up, slim You ain't thinking? Why were
you hiding behind that bush? Iwasn't hiding. What fact you're holding in
your hand? It's a card,mister d I want to talk to him

but then here talking to be done. I'm gonna do it. You're gonna
do what I tell you. I'mworking for your mother. You may be
in danger, and you maybe too. I got a right to know what
all this is about. You mightfind out two of them you expect.
Unless you do if I tell you, come only and you too, Lord
are talking. I told you too. I don't believe. I've seen somebody
(11:01):
moving around down by the Great Barbour, and I went down to see what
he was doing. What was hedoing? I've seen him jump up from
behind that bush and start running.He dropped something and I was just being
over to pick it up when youcame up. He jumped at Dick.
A card you got in your head? Quick, lying, slim us no

incarnation was he doing here in thiscellar when she found me? He wasn't

You see how the bullet went inthe back of an angle. Her

Slim's life. He doesn't mind.You're taking chances on it before. But
it's in the same putting him outthere in the kitchen all alone. You

said yourself, the killer is afterSlim next, That's what I said.
But you don't really believe it.Maybe I don't like it. Run you,

station all around the place. Whyis going to play a little waiting game?
Jim royan Lee are in the library. I want you to go in

there with them. Not even allthis Crooked Nose are still around. Maybe
he took off after killing the oldlady, he's still around. Crooked Nose
is a very thorough guy and hisjob isn't finished yet. But he must
know this. Cops all around theplace, and what I've heard about Crooked
Nose cops don't bother him at all. I'm going to the kitchen. Westland's

My mother's body flied on there inthe cellar and he's playing game.
Does take it easy? And I'veknown brand Run you know, a long
time, and what he does usuallymakes sense. Yeah, but it seems
(21:10):
pretty obvious that cooked nos is gone. And the longer we sit here,
the father way he's gonna get anyway, Why doesn't he come back? You
don't. I don't suppose nothing.I think Running knows what he's doing,
and I'm willing to play along withhim. Plant wait much longer. Oh,
this is ridiculous. That killing gone, and he won't be bad.
You're gonna stay right here, allof him until I tell you you can
(21:32):
go. Maybe you don't realize ifbut your lives are in danger. Why
doesn't he come then? Why don'the come down? I'm showing himself.
Wait, you're getting my mind nerves. Why don't we put the blinds done?
Why don't just sit and get likeducks on a lot? I'm waiting
to get shot. Why don't youquit yellow and shut up? You're getting

lie still. He's in the garage. Hey there, all right? What

He'll come out? All right?Where you meet? I got a tear
gas bomb here. I'll talk tohim through the door. You'll come out.
I stand back by the doors.Here goes Wait no, you're in
the Eric's smart to come out withyour hands up. That's tear gas.
(23:00):
He don't do me. McKenzie running, But what are you doing in there?

doors, I say, McKenzie,Okay, rocket nose, you're running,
(23:23):
but your face that No, youMcKenzie a phony nose. There isn't any
crocket nose. There never was,at least there hadn't be in for a
lot of years. Your hands,there's our killer. Yeah, I killed

I don't my hand. But you'renot smart enough. I told you
(23:47):

sorry. Why did you do it? Right? Because I hate him?
I hate him all. They're gonnasend a lot of money on Lee.
When she married you needed money,didn't you roy a lot of money?
Spose? I No, I'm gonnaget it. You're crazy like a fox.
I'm crazy. That's what my oldman told me. That's crazy too.
(24:08):
You're gonna have me put away.I put him only you should have
seen a look on his face whenI look in at his window. You
know he thought that crooked nof hasfinally found him. You are insane.
Shut up keeping I'm not too talkingyou. You aren't gonna lick me after
(24:29):
all, crooked. No, he'sgonna kill all of you and then he's
gonna disappear. Here you like,that's fat man, that's you're here again.
Now I'm gonna kill you one ofthe time. You ain't got it
all yet, Roy, ain't youforgetting me? Keeps in and right like
you are, Roy, my gunsbeing pointing street at your back. Ever
since you're starting talking. Now,I got a little talk, a little
(24:51):
told I'm gonna move and you're agun. I try to kill you.
Fucking you shouldn't in a second.You're gonna get a change. I'm a
friend. This wasn't part about why. I'm sorry, mister run him,
but it's fast this way. Ihave bad to you to say, Potto,
who are you talking about? Tokill you? John? That I
ain't never shot nobody in the back, Come around quick and come around shooting?
(25:19):
Oh how do you get your flamerin this job making? What about
him? We got him? Writein my heart. We've got to get
you to a doctor. Flam.I think you know you? Oh he
answer him? Here, Listen tome, honey, you know me?
(25:41):
Good thing come out of its missedforget talk, should be happy my money,
get rid of it. It ain'ttoo good. Nothing the trouble.
Promise me, I'll misten to you. I promise Sam. He's dead,
(26:07):
Miss Carkwright. All you can dofor him now is to keep that promise.
Oh are you sure took a chanceputting on that phony nose and letting
me shoot out? You throw thewonder on him? I knew you couldn't
hit me, McKenzie. You neverhit anything yet that you aim that?
(26:29):
Oh yeah, when's your first tombleof the truth on him? When they
found the old lady dead in thebasement, I don't see how that told
you anything. I knew she waslooking for something on that workband. She
guessed the truth about Roy posing acrooked nose. She was checking up on
the putty. That's where he gotthe putty to make a phony nose.
And Roy followed her and saw thatshe was on the right track. That's
(26:52):
right, so he shot her inthe back. That was his worst mistake.
How are you maining, oh,missus Carr? I told me earlier
the crooked nose was a rat,but he'd never shoot anybody in the back.
That's when I decided there wasn't reallyany crooked nose at all. What
about the little guy Snake? Heand Roy made a deal, but Snake
double crossed in by black naming Leeon the side, so Roy had to
(27:15):
kill him. I wonder what willhappen to Lee. She's gonna marry Edney,
and she's going to give all theCarpwright money to charity. That Slim
was quite a guy who was right. Too hot. Money always burns your
fingers. The Cartwrights too nice agirl to go through life with scorch fen
(27:37):
in, Mackenzie, you've got anythingto eat in your pocket? Oh?
That's that, it seems. Ispend my life if I'm getting into trouble
(28:00):
and getting out of it. That'sat the same time I generally managed to
get some other people in and outof trouble too. Seeing you again,
hold on, welcome back. Ikind of got a hint as to who
(28:26):
the killer was when he threatened hisown mother if she didn't shut up.
Now, maybe it was meant tobe ambiguous, like he was concerned for
her life, for safety if shedidn't leave these issues alone. But it
did not come off that way,I mean, believe it or not.
(28:49):
I mean, given the subtlety ofthe actor's performance, you think it wouldn't
be so obvious, but it was. We turned now to listener comments and
feedback, and it received a questionfrom Leo who writes, were there any
shows during World War Two? Theyall seemed to be from nineteen forty six
(29:11):
to the fifties. What was inthe radio during the war on any of
the shows? Johnnie Dollar, misterX crime photographer The fat Man? Who
isn't that fat at two hundred andthirty nine pounds unless he is a short
guy? All right? Well,taking the fat man related episode question,
(29:33):
first, Jack Smart, who playedthe fat Man, was actually five foot
nine and in reality he was twohundred and seventy pounds. Oh, the
character was thirty one pounds alder andusing the modern measurement of bmi, that
comes out to about thirty five Forthe fat man's weight, which would put
(29:55):
him in the obese arrange, inbetween the obese very obese. Although I
know BMI is a controversial measure,but it's not all that far off the
beaten path to suggest the fat man'sfat, particularly the feet goes around say
an he's fat. Now, asto World War Two episodes, there are
(30:17):
not very many now of the showswe are doing. There are a handful
of episodes of The Man called Xfrom World War Two. You know,
we played them more than a yearago, but they are really quite good.
And then the first two Casey episodeswe have are from the World War
(30:40):
Two era. And the big problemthat we run into with World War two
programs is that the materials used fortranscription disc, which is what radio programs
that were sent out during that erawe're on, were made of vital war
(31:02):
materials, so they often ended upin drives. I was listening to a
recording where people were being encouraged toturn in their old records so that they
could be essentially recycled and turned intonew records for soldiers, and I imagine
the same fate happened to a lotof the transcription disk. So it is
(31:27):
really rare for us to have programsfrom World War Two. I think Nick
Carter probably had the most World WarTwo episodes in circulation of any of the
series that we'd end, and eventhose series which we do have some recordings
(31:48):
for, there are a lot ofmissing. For example, with Casey Crime
Photographer, we do have two episodesfrom World War Two, but one hundred
and four forty nine of the firstone hundred and fifty one Casey Crime Photographer
broadcast or missing. And of theWorld War two Man Called X episodes,
(32:12):
there were several different seasons and Ithink those are probably about eighty ninety percent
of the Man Called X during WorldWar Two is missing, and those are
ones that in terms of episodes incirculation, are pretty good for World War
two series. And I will addif you are interested in World War two
(32:34):
programs, I would encourage you tocheck out The War The War Dot Great
Detectives Dot and at its World Wartwo podcast I did mostly in two thousand
and thirteen and two thousand and fourteen. Oh I've revisited a couple of times
and essentially tells the story of thewar through old time radio programs, not
just detective shows, but comedy,music, news programs, documentary, these
(33:00):
dramas. So if you're into thatera of radio or history, it's worth
checking out. Check it out theWar dot Great Detectives dot net. Thanks
