In eighth August two eight nine? I don't know whether

Kensington from Samuel Space when he had a coke within
Sam He was on Prillo and Reasons number one, three, seven, five,
nine six subject.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And he was from Elside, Indiana. And I used to
live in Pleasant Lake and shove.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Down at me subject Helen Skelley of the Prodigal Daughter
a coke yet, dear doctor everyone in San Francisco. I
was the castle drive hillhouse that Caspa Scully lived in,
even though they didn't know him. When I got there,
there was an all black forty nine convertible in the
driveway and slightly smaller same color. A Russian wolf found
wearing a spike collar an expression the match. He broke
(03:50):
his chain when he saw me and ran on the
back of the house. That should have told me something,
but I plunged the doorbell and was admitted by a
butler named Stanley, who left me standing in a draft
in the library looking at a coal television set. I
pulled up my coat gellic like a plant in front
of the fire of lights and let a cigarette. But
he soon things started. Just a blond girl in a
yellow suit was having a one sided argument with a
gray haired man and a gray suit. Nobody paid any
(04:12):
attention to men about how you forbidden.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And it can't go on.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But let me tell you, it can go on just
as long as I wanted to, and.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
There's nothing you can do about it.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
So don't, whatever you do, try to interfere. Oh stop it,
that's her look again, seated too often, and I'm sick
of you, hear me, I'm sick.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He looked mad, but he didn't say anything. I saw
him walk around the garden once, shake fists at each other,
and finally put he disappeared up a narrow stairway, and
she came storming back to the library.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
How do you do? Who are you? Sam Space?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Are you doing here.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Waiting to talk to mister Scullett.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I just talked to him, and he is a very
nice Let me tell you that. Yes, he's a nasty, Southern,
bullheaded old man, and you won't like him.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yes, nobody likes him.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
So back where you came from, whatever your name is,
I'm the nicest person you'll meet around this place. Yes,
but don't wait a rock, oh goodbye.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
But I did wait around, doctor Kensing gun, and I
did talk to mister Scully when you came in the
room with him. Only mister Scully did not talk to me.
He glad at me through black smoldering eyes, sniffed the air,
frowned at my cigarette. I frowned back, mister Spade.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I'm doctor Kensis, and I wrote to the letter, this
is mister Scully, Please this cigarette. Mister Sculley suffered a
severe accident many years ago that affected his throat and
his respiratory tract me smart.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Of course, I understand. I sorry, mister Scully. Yes, thank you, spade.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
This is not generally known, but the unfortunate accident in
the chemical plant also robbed mister Scully of his vocal power.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I say yes.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
The modern doctor, the position of today is a far
cry from the general practitioner of yesteryear. Today we must
know the mine, the psychological clerk, the well. He must
follow through completely on the case. Sometimes as I am
today a carcodant, an executive officer for his patience, he
is a well a prep to say the least, say oh.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yes, yeah, to say the least.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Eh, oh, of course, mister Scully. To the point of course,
sit down, spain, now there. Mister Scully, as you well known,
the world knows, has made several fortunes in his lifetime,
and he didn't accomplish this by allowing people to run
rough shadows. But mister Scully, I'm just backgrounding in that spade.
Please be patient, mister Scully. And Jen's leaving his daughter Helen,
(06:28):
his entire fortune, a great deal of money, to say
the least.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Say the least, but Helen doesn't care about the money.
She's foolish, young, head strong and impatuous. Huh, I heard
her arguing, mister Scully. A better now.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Now, now, mister Scully, we'll straighten all this out. Mister
Spade will help us. Well, in Spade, you have half
the problem right there. She is a headstrong, impetuous girl,
and lately she's done several things to displease her father, right,
mister Scully.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Mister Spain, I get that that much. But what kind
of things?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Helen's been singing in a cheap nightclub called the Blue Goose. Oh,
it's very embarrassed. Yes, there's a man named Torpi.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
He owns the club, a man named chick Torkie. Ah,
you know of him, I've heard of.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Contrary to all her father's wishes, Helen insists on seeing
this man Torpye.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
How old is she?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Well, that's the point of the state. But a sort
of affair now might rob her of a future of
wealth and security. Mister Scully's at the point of exasperation.
He might well change his will over this matter, correct,
mister Scully. At best, this is an embarrassing situation and
most indiscreet of Helen to.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Have brought it about.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
So I am supposed to go talk to chick Torpy.
Is that it in a word?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yes, Well you sound rather reluctant, mister space.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Chick Towpy is a little too old for the boy. Scott.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Well, I we want you to see him, find out
how much your take to stop seeing Helen.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Tell me what happens if torfee isn't the sale.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Everyone has a price, stay matter of character. You get
paid for.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Work like this.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
That's your pride.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That reminds me. Fifty ath day and expenses five days guarantee.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
To say the least, of course, to say the least.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And mister Skelly, I happen to have a standard client
contract with me here. If you'll just sign on both pages,
I'm sure never.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Mind Spade not now. Missus Scully will nail it to
you later on today. Ah, dear missus Scully's fatigue. Well,
you'll contact me as soon as you have any information for.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Us, I said I would. Mister Skelly signed a final
cough and I left the two of you in the library.
It was interesting meeting this voiceless tycoon who must have
made and broken many a man with a knot of
his head or a shruggery shoulders. The clame black dog
with the same spike collar was still outside the house
doing the same thing.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Ah sabe, mister Spade.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
But something new had been added, a pair of well
tailored shoulders, diamond stick fin and a gray felt half
of a snapped brim, Fellow, Spade, you don't know me, Yeah, no, no,
wait a minute, there's something about a guy in a lineup.
You're a dapper Danny Cavillo. Once you get out of
phones from Danny. A while back, they gave me a
kind of rain checking. Wouldn't that thirty eight make you
a parole breaker?
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Is that showing? Unless your ribs grow in directions, Sam,
I'm here to save you a lot of trouble. What trouble?
Are you here to save me? You want to see
Chick Torpie, don't you? You've got business to talk with him? No,
Nows gets around fast, Danny, No, No, it's just that
Chick had been expecting somebody like you from the old man,
and well, I'm here to see that. You see him,
So why don't you kind of get in the car?
(09:23):
Man I kind of dead, Danny smiled. Let a cigarette
shift to the shoulder. Horse but so I can shift
gears better and drove me back across Founder and apartment
house on the south he met the polity, a good
looking guy who's sort of about six feet four, black hair.
Answer to the knock, Hello, chick, May I present Sam Spade?
Sam Spade, beat chick talking.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
That'll do it, Danny, Thanks, Hello Spade, Come on in,
see you Joba.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Danny's gadby.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Hello. Check you're a taxi service, always free.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
That's when I'm in a hurry to get things settled.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Soldier.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
He saw the old man today.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I saw him and talk to his doctor Kensington.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
All right, you're here to tell me how worried the
old man is?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Right if you're talking about Helen and you, Yes, you're
a bad company. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What else?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
He wants you to stop singer?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Well, suppose I don't want to stop sing. He suppose
I told you I love her.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Let's say she comes in a three million box only kicks.
You love her.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I'd be crazy if I didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I wonder what she'd say if she heard you say that.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Watch you ask it, Steve Helen, No, Miss.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Space told you to leave my house today, but you
didn't listen.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Then Spain well, I'm wondering anyway. Maybe this will help.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
When you get back to my father, tell him I
think she could be a fool to brush me off.
Tell him that someday I expect to inherit all of
that wonderful money he spent a lifetime making. Tell him
the chicks tired of.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Working that all that?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yep, how do you feel, Spain like I'm running my faith?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
You've already earned at Spain. There's no use frying.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I've told her myself. Now you can tell him she's
not for sale and I'm not for sale.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Got it? You got it all right?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Then you're finished here.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Hello, Well, I'm not sure I want to talk to him.
Give him a pill. And it was on that happy note, doctor,
that I went downstairs, found a drug store and tried
to phone you and tell you what Torpey had said.
The line was busy, and while I was waiting for
it to get un busy, I spotted chick Torpie out
(11:19):
in front. He looked mad at them when I had
left him, and there was a bulge in his coat
that hadn't been there before. He got into a black
sedan with the curb, and I hailed a cab and
followed them across town up the knob Hill, half a
block from the Scully residence. I left my at taxi
and put the rest on foot. He was still a
couple of hundred feet ahead of me. He disappeared into
the garden. Then I heard a cry for help, and
(11:40):
then Chick was standing over something on the ground. When
he saw me, he streaked for a break in the hedge.
I stopped lowing enough to have a look at the
body he'd left my client. He still had gray hair,
and he was still wearing the gray suit and half
his face and shot away. The makers of Wild Root

daughter keeper. Tonight's adventure with Sam s b My five
(13:19):
day contract arrived in the morning mail signed by Caspus Skelly.
The headlines were no surprised chick Torpie saw him shooting
a multi millionaire item. Ballistics matched up slugs taken from
body with weapon owned and licensed to one Chick Torpie
and item. Because of a city ordinance reguarding this position,
the body of Caspus Skelly, found off the immediate premises
(13:40):
of his home, had been removed to the city Morgue
and would remain there until claimed by nearest of kin.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Hi Sammy, Sammy, my boys.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Good to look on you, Maxie. What brings you?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Sam? Skelly stiff? Oh yeah yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Checked him back on Top Season.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Were you in with this? Sam? Do you know? Skelly?
I just met him.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yesterday, Like I say to you before you do collect
clear ones? Hey Sam, pooh, such a messoo, such a mess? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I know. I found him.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
They tell me he has to be claimed city ordinance.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Sam. Nearest of kin be his daughter Helen. She called her, No,
not yet.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
But to get back to him, a real queer one maybe.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
The tops this season.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I saw barbarianism, Sam, That's what it is. The world
is moving backwards. You can get dead and dead.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
You think the slugs in his chest would be enough?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But no, who also on the head too? Kill him twice?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
It again, Maxie, you mean twice twice?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Sam, in the chest maybe twenty to thirty hours ago,
in the head maybe twelve hours later. You see what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I saw that, he man. I didn't like what I saw,
but things did begin to make some sense when the
mark I found the chronicle offist confirmed that Skelly did
suffer from the throatale. It was publicity show. I was
never interviewed a photographed. For that reason. I asked him
if I had a specimen of his handwriting by any chance, Sam.
They did. I had it sent to me by a
special messenger, and the signature, compared to the one of
my five day contract with mister Scully, made interesting reading.
(15:07):
But what was even more interesting was the doa Maxley
was ushering in as I was.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Saying, Sam, it's awful the way these homicides are turning
up nowadays in gray suits.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
It's fashionable.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Now, Hey, what's the matter, Sam? You know? Yeah, I know?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
And what's it Saytek says unidentified accidental drowning found.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Off peer fourteen time eight fifteen.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Am accidental drowning. You don't think so?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Why do you think he's dead?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I think he's dead because he didn't cough when the
doctor asked him to. I left Maxley to his newest
customer and looked up the police officer and finally unidentified man.
All I had on him was the New York clothing
labels and a silver identification bracelet was named Julio engraved
on it between two small indentations of the comedy tragedy
(15:53):
drama masts. There wasn't much, but it took me to
a theater on Post Street featuring a special company of
Spanish actors on tour.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
I am the manager of the company.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
What is it, Tom, I'm sorry to trouble. I'm trying
to look at a certain man. I have got raisonable
ladies with your company.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
We are a small group.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
His name one name might be Julio.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Julio say the Basca.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Gray haired men and bell.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
You're from the police. No, if you are looking for Julio,
say the back of why are you not from the police.
Two days ago, Julio, who does not speak any English,
he's asked, of all things, to appear on the television
television television program. He reached his lines No, I'm proud.
(16:41):
But yesterday morning a man on the telephone. They speak
and Julio goes out to in no words, I too,
am looking for him. He needs his performance the afternoon,
I say.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
He drinks too much.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Sometimes I know, and he needs me where he is
at least I do not move. But if you find.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Him, I have found it. Does he have a wife?
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I am this s.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
What has happened to my husband?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You better get your coat with a boat. I went
back to the Morgue with Missussada Baca doctor, and after
that I went over to the Blue Goose Club. Oh,
(17:40):
I said, tired Danny boy, trying well, come on in
and relax. Nice place you run it for chick? What
is away scene check? Lately two sets of cops, three
reporters have been here asking the same question already this morning.
What do you try to prove checks some trouble? You're
his partner? Ah ah, he got himself into this one spade. Look,
(18:05):
we make a nice dollar running his place. It's legitimate,
and no CoP's gonna raid us or close us up.
Chick started pooling around with that Scully woman, and I
told him just once, it's dynamite. I said, you know
how the old man is, let bygones be bygones. But
Chick didn't listen. Tell me about the bygones it should
be bygones, and why Chick should know how the old
man is. Well, Scully sent him up five years ago,
(18:27):
didn't you know? No, I didn't, Huh. Chick owned some
properties south of Brasido, and Scully wanted it poor oil
drilling or something. Chick asked too much, and Scully figured
a way to get it from him in court, had
it condemned or something. Well, Chick got kind of sword.
He met the old man on the street one day,
and well, they convicted Chick of attempted murder. Two and
a half years and Chick looked up Scully's daughter when
(18:48):
he got out of present and started making love. Though
it Oh, yes, Spade, that's just the way it started.
Only Chick was the sucker, after all, he really went
for the creature. He married her three weeks ago in Reno,
the poor sap. Anybody else know about that part of it?
Only I was best man. Hello, wait, Danny, did you
wrap Julio set a bacco over the head last night
(19:08):
and pass him in the bay?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Who's Julio?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Whatever his name? And I too, happened to look something
like oh Man Scully, enough like him to keep his
mouth closed when I was there, but who might want
to open it later? I uh, I don't know what
you're talking about. Speed, I didn't think you would, but
I don't like it. And what tommy job? Throw this
bumb out stick of looking at it? And they did.
(19:36):
It was two against one, and I'd been up late
the night before. I was doing very well, long until
somebody stooped to a palm of subterfuge. I have long
since grown to hate. Oh I was born on two
swarthy shoulders. Out of the club and into the open air.
I was on a balcony and a good stiff sea
breeze was blowing. I didn't enjoy it long one.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Two, three, a lotter was cold but refreshing, and I'm
used to swim the five feet ashore and that was
my limit.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I hung onto a slippery piling which supported the blue
ghosts above me, and finally hid the anti chamber in
front of it. It had been a lime cellar once
in a loading dock. I suspected during prohibestion. Best time
it was a hideout.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Keep your hands up, speed, close the door, keep out
of this heaven.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, you're crazy, Toppy, you got this all wrong. There's
probably a five grand reward out for me right now.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
They want me dead or alive, and you're here to
tell me how wrong I am. Well, it will be
dead speed. They'll never take me, and you aren't going.
I've listened all the reason I'm going to listen to,
you know, and I'm doing things my way. I got
nothing to lose now getting out of it. So long a.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Baby you lead at a kiss, a goodbye, And that
is when I rediscovered that my wet revolver. Even though
it wouldn't fire, I still had plenty of power left.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
It seems. Thanks for doing that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
As you know, a doctor. I turned chick tape over
to the police along with Nanny Carvello and took Helen
Scully home. She ran upstairs with many tears, and I
met you in the library. You seemed relieved when you
heard the tape had been apprehended. However, I had some
other questions to ask. You answered, all right, paid, all right.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I suppose it'll all come out anyway. Two nights ago,
chick Torfey came to the house to have it out
with mister Scully. He told him about their marriage. There
was an argument. I was the only one in the house.
I heard shots, ran in the room and found mister
Scully dead.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
The marriage certificate was in his hand. I knew this
would involve Helen, and so I did what I did.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
It was a nightmare.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I hid the body, hoping to find a way, perhaps
a death certificate on accidental shooting or something at In
other words.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
You were helping Torpy get away with murder.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Yes, but I was thinking only of Helen.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Her father did love her.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
But you'd already sent a letter to me. You knew
i'd be here the next morning. You've seen an actor
on a television program. He resembles Skelly. You hired him
for a job. You told Helen the chick had killed
her father and told her what kind of acting she
had to do.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Oh, it was crude, perhaps, but I didn't want you
to become suspicious. When a death report did show up,
I intended to hire you.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
And fire only it didn't work out. I followed Toby
here and found a body.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Oh, I've been such a fool of state helping a
man get away with murder. Ee, I want to confess
it all. I suppose this will make me an access
rate to a murder.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Not exactly.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
You mean there's a way out.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
There's a way out, and you were going to take it.
What I was already your apartment before I came here.
You're all moved out the door. A man tells me
you like it's been at the station all the morning.
What did you do? Okay? You had a rifle? Is safe?
Speaker 4 (22:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
See here space stop it. You were waiting around and
see if they took Torby dead or alive. Daddy couldn't
talk and you'd be okay alive. You're ready to blow Tom.
You bumped Skelly, No, get back there, and you did
your best to hang it on a chick. Helen thought
he really didn't play it along with you. You know,
an access rate, a murder, you're a murderer, and a
double count that the actor was knocked on the head
(23:07):
before he drowned. Oh cost a minute space. This could
be fixed if you shut up, period and the report.
I don't understand what angel I don't understand same, but
you say.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
He turned his copee over to the police. Yet Doctor
Kensington was amazed.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
A formality. He will be released and cleared and short
order anything else?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Oh yes, yes, what about Donald Correa.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
An innocent price stander.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
He yead you, beat up and knocked on the head.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And he has already made amend to those tickets for
the fights. No more questions have piped this up, and
I'll give you a have handy and I'll listen to this.
Speaker 6 (23:56):

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, how did you live?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
In eighth August two eight nine? I don't know whether
it will go out or not? You too, Doctor Albert
Kensington from Samuel Space when he had a coke within
Sam He was on Prillo and Reasons number one, three, seven, five,
nine six subject.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And he was from Elside, Indiana. And I used to
live in Pleasant Lake and shove.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Down at me subject Helen Skelley of the Prodigal Daughter
a coke yet, dear doctor everyone in San Francisco. I
was the castle drive hillhouse that Caspa Scully lived in,
even though they didn't know him. When I got there,
there was an all black forty nine convertible in the
driveway and slightly smaller same color. A Russian wolf found
wearing a spike collar an expression the match. He broke
(03:50):
his chain when he saw me and ran on the
back of the house. That should have told me something,
but I plunged the doorbell and was admitted by a
butler named Stanley, who left me standing in a draft
in the library looking at a coal television set. I
pulled up my coat gellic like a plant in front
of the fire of lights and let a cigarette. But
he soon things started. Just a blond girl in a
yellow suit was having a one sided argument with a
gray haired man and a gray suit. Nobody paid any
(04:12):
attention to men about how you forbidden.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And it can't go on.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
But let me tell you, it can go on just
as long as I wanted to, and.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
There's nothing you can do about it.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
So don't, whatever you do, try to interfere. Oh stop it,
that's her look again, seated too often, and I'm sick
of you, hear me, I'm sick.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He looked mad, but he didn't say anything. I saw
him walk around the garden once, shake fists at each other,
and finally put he disappeared up a narrow stairway, and
she came storming back to the library.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
How do you do? Who are you? Sam Space?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Are you doing here.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Waiting to talk to mister Scullett.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I just talked to him, and he is a very
nice Let me tell you that. Yes, he's a nasty, Southern,
bullheaded old man, and you won't like him.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yes, nobody likes him.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
So back where you came from, whatever your name is,
I'm the nicest person you'll meet around this place. Yes,
but don't wait a rock, oh goodbye.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
But I did wait around, doctor Kensing gun, and I
did talk to mister Scully when you came in the
room with him. Only mister Scully did not talk to me.
He glad at me through black smoldering eyes, sniffed the air,
frowned at my cigarette. I frowned back, mister Spade.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I'm doctor Kensis, and I wrote to the letter, this
is mister Scully, Please this cigarette. Mister Sculley suffered a
severe accident many years ago that affected his throat and
his respiratory tract me smart.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Of course, I understand. I sorry, mister Scully. Yes, thank you, spade.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
This is not generally known, but the unfortunate accident in
the chemical plant also robbed mister Scully of his vocal power.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I say yes.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
The modern doctor, the position of today is a far
cry from the general practitioner of yesteryear. Today we must
know the mine, the psychological clerk, the well. He must
follow through completely on the case. Sometimes as I am
today a carcodant, an executive officer for his patience, he
is a well a prep to say the least, say oh.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yes, yeah, to say the least.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Eh, oh, of course, mister Scully. To the point of course,
sit down, spain, now there. Mister Scully, as you well known,
the world knows, has made several fortunes in his lifetime,
and he didn't accomplish this by allowing people to run
rough shadows. But mister Scully, I'm just backgrounding in that spade.
Please be patient, mister Scully. And Jen's leaving his daughter Helen,
(06:28):
his entire fortune, a great deal of money, to say
the least.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Say the least, but Helen doesn't care about the money.
She's foolish, young, head strong and impatuous. Huh, I heard
her arguing, mister Scully. A better now.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Now, now, mister Scully, we'll straighten all this out. Mister
Spade will help us. Well, in Spade, you have half
the problem right there. She is a headstrong, impetuous girl,
and lately she's done several things to displease her father, right,
mister Scully.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Mister Spain, I get that that much. But what kind
of things?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Helen's been singing in a cheap nightclub called the Blue Goose. Oh,
it's very embarrassed. Yes, there's a man named Torpi.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
He owns the club, a man named chick Torkie. Ah,
you know of him, I've heard of.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Contrary to all her father's wishes, Helen insists on seeing
this man Torpye.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
How old is she?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Well, that's the point of the state. But a sort
of affair now might rob her of a future of
wealth and security. Mister Scully's at the point of exasperation.
He might well change his will over this matter, correct,
mister Scully. At best, this is an embarrassing situation and
most indiscreet of Helen to.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Have brought it about.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
So I am supposed to go talk to chick Torpy.
Is that it in a word?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yes, Well you sound rather reluctant, mister space.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Chick Towpy is a little too old for the boy. Scott.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Well, I we want you to see him, find out
how much your take to stop seeing Helen.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Tell me what happens if torfee isn't the sale.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Everyone has a price, stay matter of character. You get
paid for.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Work like this.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
That's your pride.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That reminds me. Fifty ath day and expenses five days guarantee.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
To say the least, of course, to say the least.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And mister Skelly, I happen to have a standard client
contract with me here. If you'll just sign on both pages,
I'm sure never.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Mind Spade not now. Missus Scully will nail it to
you later on today. Ah, dear missus Scully's fatigue. Well,
you'll contact me as soon as you have any information for.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Us, I said I would. Mister Skelly signed a final
cough and I left the two of you in the library.
It was interesting meeting this voiceless tycoon who must have
made and broken many a man with a knot of
his head or a shruggery shoulders. The clame black dog
with the same spike collar was still outside the house
doing the same thing.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Ah sabe, mister Spade.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
But something new had been added, a pair of well
tailored shoulders, diamond stick fin and a gray felt half
of a snapped brim, Fellow, Spade, you don't know me, Yeah, no, no,
wait a minute, there's something about a guy in a lineup.
You're a dapper Danny Cavillo. Once you get out of
phones from Danny. A while back, they gave me a
kind of rain checking. Wouldn't that thirty eight make you
a parole breaker?
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Is that showing? Unless your ribs grow in directions, Sam,
I'm here to save you a lot of trouble. What trouble?
Are you here to save me? You want to see
Chick Torpie, don't you? You've got business to talk with him? No,
Nows gets around fast, Danny, No, No, it's just that
Chick had been expecting somebody like you from the old man,
and well, I'm here to see that. You see him,
So why don't you kind of get in the car?
(09:23):
Man I kind of dead, Danny smiled. Let a cigarette
shift to the shoulder. Horse but so I can shift
gears better and drove me back across Founder and apartment
house on the south he met the polity, a good
looking guy who's sort of about six feet four, black hair.
Answer to the knock, Hello, chick, May I present Sam Spade?
Sam Spade, beat chick talking.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
That'll do it, Danny, Thanks, Hello Spade, Come on in,
see you Joba.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Danny's gadby.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Hello. Check you're a taxi service, always free.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
That's when I'm in a hurry to get things settled.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Soldier.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
He saw the old man today.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I saw him and talk to his doctor Kensington.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
All right, you're here to tell me how worried the
old man is?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Right if you're talking about Helen and you, Yes, you're
a bad company. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What else?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
He wants you to stop singer?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Well, suppose I don't want to stop sing. He suppose
I told you I love her.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Let's say she comes in a three million box only kicks.
You love her.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I'd be crazy if I didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I wonder what she'd say if she heard you say that.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Watch you ask it, Steve Helen, No, Miss.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Space told you to leave my house today, but you
didn't listen.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Then Spain well, I'm wondering anyway. Maybe this will help.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
When you get back to my father, tell him I
think she could be a fool to brush me off.
Tell him that someday I expect to inherit all of
that wonderful money he spent a lifetime making. Tell him
the chicks tired of.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Working that all that?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yep, how do you feel, Spain like I'm running my faith?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
You've already earned at Spain. There's no use frying.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I've told her myself. Now you can tell him she's
not for sale and I'm not for sale.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Got it? You got it all right?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Then you're finished here.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Hello, Well, I'm not sure I want to talk to him.
Give him a pill. And it was on that happy note, doctor,
that I went downstairs, found a drug store and tried
to phone you and tell you what Torpey had said.
The line was busy, and while I was waiting for
it to get un busy, I spotted chick Torpie out
(11:19):
in front. He looked mad at them when I had
left him, and there was a bulge in his coat
that hadn't been there before. He got into a black
sedan with the curb, and I hailed a cab and
followed them across town up the knob Hill, half a
block from the Scully residence. I left my at taxi
and put the rest on foot. He was still a
couple of hundred feet ahead of me. He disappeared into
the garden. Then I heard a cry for help, and
(11:40):
then Chick was standing over something on the ground. When
he saw me, he streaked for a break in the hedge.
I stopped lowing enough to have a look at the
body he'd left my client. He still had gray hair,
and he was still wearing the gray suit and half
his face and shot away. The makers of Wild Root

daughter keeper. Tonight's adventure with Sam s b My five
(13:19):
day contract arrived in the morning mail signed by Caspus Skelly.
The headlines were no surprised chick Torpie saw him shooting
a multi millionaire item. Ballistics matched up slugs taken from
body with weapon owned and licensed to one Chick Torpie
and item. Because of a city ordinance reguarding this position,
the body of Caspus Skelly, found off the immediate premises
(13:40):
of his home, had been removed to the city Morgue
and would remain there until claimed by nearest of kin.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Hi Sammy, Sammy, my boys.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Good to look on you, Maxie. What brings you?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Sam? Skelly stiff? Oh yeah yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Checked him back on Top Season.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Were you in with this? Sam? Do you know? Skelly?
I just met him.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yesterday, Like I say to you before you do collect
clear ones? Hey Sam, pooh, such a messoo, such a mess? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I know. I found him.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
They tell me he has to be claimed city ordinance.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Sam. Nearest of kin be his daughter Helen. She called her, No,
not yet.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
But to get back to him, a real queer one maybe.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
The tops this season.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I saw barbarianism, Sam, That's what it is. The world
is moving backwards. You can get dead and dead.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
You think the slugs in his chest would be enough?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But no, who also on the head too? Kill him twice?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
It again, Maxie, you mean twice twice?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Sam, in the chest maybe twenty to thirty hours ago,
in the head maybe twelve hours later. You see what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I saw that, he man. I didn't like what I saw,
but things did begin to make some sense when the
mark I found the chronicle offist confirmed that Skelly did
suffer from the throatale. It was publicity show. I was
never interviewed a photographed. For that reason. I asked him
if I had a specimen of his handwriting by any chance, Sam.
They did. I had it sent to me by a
special messenger, and the signature, compared to the one of
my five day contract with mister Scully, made interesting reading.
(15:07):
But what was even more interesting was the doa Maxley
was ushering in as I was.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Saying, Sam, it's awful the way these homicides are turning
up nowadays in gray suits.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
It's fashionable.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Now, Hey, what's the matter, Sam? You know? Yeah, I know?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
And what's it Saytek says unidentified accidental drowning found.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Off peer fourteen time eight fifteen.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Am accidental drowning. You don't think so?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Why do you think he's dead?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I think he's dead because he didn't cough when the
doctor asked him to. I left Maxley to his newest
customer and looked up the police officer and finally unidentified man.
All I had on him was the New York clothing
labels and a silver identification bracelet was named Julio engraved
on it between two small indentations of the comedy tragedy
(15:53):
drama masts. There wasn't much, but it took me to
a theater on Post Street featuring a special company of
Spanish actors on tour.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
I am the manager of the company.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
What is it, Tom, I'm sorry to trouble. I'm trying
to look at a certain man. I have got raisonable
ladies with your company.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
We are a small group.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
His name one name might be Julio.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Julio say the Basca.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Gray haired men and bell.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
You're from the police. No, if you are looking for Julio,
say the back of why are you not from the police.
Two days ago, Julio, who does not speak any English,
he's asked, of all things, to appear on the television
television television program. He reached his lines No, I'm proud.
(16:41):
But yesterday morning a man on the telephone. They speak
and Julio goes out to in no words, I too,
am looking for him. He needs his performance the afternoon,
I say.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
He drinks too much.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Sometimes I know, and he needs me where he is
at least I do not move. But if you find.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Him, I have found it. Does he have a wife?
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I am this s.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
What has happened to my husband?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You better get your coat with a boat. I went
back to the Morgue with Missussada Baca doctor, and after
that I went over to the Blue Goose Club. Oh,
(17:40):
I said, tired Danny boy, trying well, come on in
and relax. Nice place you run it for chick? What
is away scene check? Lately two sets of cops, three
reporters have been here asking the same question already this morning.
What do you try to prove checks some trouble? You're
his partner? Ah ah, he got himself into this one spade. Look,
(18:05):
we make a nice dollar running his place. It's legitimate,
and no CoP's gonna raid us or close us up.
Chick started pooling around with that Scully woman, and I
told him just once, it's dynamite. I said, you know
how the old man is, let bygones be bygones. But
Chick didn't listen. Tell me about the bygones it should
be bygones, and why Chick should know how the old
man is. Well, Scully sent him up five years ago,
(18:27):
didn't you know? No, I didn't, Huh. Chick owned some
properties south of Brasido, and Scully wanted it poor oil
drilling or something. Chick asked too much, and Scully figured
a way to get it from him in court, had
it condemned or something. Well, Chick got kind of sword.
He met the old man on the street one day,
and well, they convicted Chick of attempted murder. Two and
a half years and Chick looked up Scully's daughter when
(18:48):
he got out of present and started making love. Though
it Oh, yes, Spade, that's just the way it started.
Only Chick was the sucker, after all, he really went
for the creature. He married her three weeks ago in Reno,
the poor sap. Anybody else know about that part of it?
Only I was best man. Hello, wait, Danny, did you
wrap Julio set a bacco over the head last night
(19:08):
and pass him in the bay?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Who's Julio?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Whatever his name? And I too, happened to look something
like oh Man Scully, enough like him to keep his
mouth closed when I was there, but who might want
to open it later? I uh, I don't know what
you're talking about. Speed, I didn't think you would, but
I don't like it. And what tommy job? Throw this
bumb out stick of looking at it? And they did.
(19:36):
It was two against one, and I'd been up late
the night before. I was doing very well, long until
somebody stooped to a palm of subterfuge. I have long
since grown to hate. Oh I was born on two
swarthy shoulders. Out of the club and into the open air.
I was on a balcony and a good stiff sea
breeze was blowing. I didn't enjoy it long one.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Two, three, a lotter was cold but refreshing, and I'm
used to swim the five feet ashore and that was
my limit.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I hung onto a slippery piling which supported the blue
ghosts above me, and finally hid the anti chamber in
front of it. It had been a lime cellar once
in a loading dock. I suspected during prohibestion. Best time
it was a hideout.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Keep your hands up, speed, close the door, keep out
of this heaven.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, you're crazy, Toppy, you got this all wrong. There's
probably a five grand reward out for me right now.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
They want me dead or alive, and you're here to
tell me how wrong I am. Well, it will be
dead speed. They'll never take me, and you aren't going.
I've listened all the reason I'm going to listen to,
you know, and I'm doing things my way. I got
nothing to lose now getting out of it. So long a.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Baby you lead at a kiss, a goodbye, And that
is when I rediscovered that my wet revolver. Even though
it wouldn't fire, I still had plenty of power left.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
It seems. Thanks for doing that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
As you know, a doctor. I turned chick tape over
to the police along with Nanny Carvello and took Helen
Scully home. She ran upstairs with many tears, and I
met you in the library. You seemed relieved when you
heard the tape had been apprehended. However, I had some
other questions to ask. You answered, all right, paid, all right.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I suppose it'll all come out anyway. Two nights ago,
chick Torfey came to the house to have it out
with mister Scully. He told him about their marriage. There
was an argument. I was the only one in the house.
I heard shots, ran in the room and found mister
Scully dead.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
The marriage certificate was in his hand. I knew this
would involve Helen, and so I did what I did.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
It was a nightmare.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I hid the body, hoping to find a way, perhaps
a death certificate on accidental shooting or something at In
other words.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
You were helping Torpy get away with murder.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Yes, but I was thinking only of Helen.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Her father did love her.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
But you'd already sent a letter to me. You knew
i'd be here the next morning. You've seen an actor
on a television program. He resembles Skelly. You hired him
for a job. You told Helen the chick had killed
her father and told her what kind of acting she
had to do.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Oh, it was crude, perhaps, but I didn't want you
to become suspicious. When a death report did show up,
I intended to hire you.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
And fire only it didn't work out. I followed Toby
here and found a body.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Oh, I've been such a fool of state helping a
man get away with murder. Ee, I want to confess
it all. I suppose this will make me an access
rate to a murder.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Not exactly.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
You mean there's a way out.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
There's a way out, and you were going to take it.
What I was already your apartment before I came here.
You're all moved out the door. A man tells me
you like it's been at the station all the morning.
What did you do? Okay? You had a rifle? Is safe?
Speaker 4 (22:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
See here space stop it. You were waiting around and
see if they took Torby dead or alive. Daddy couldn't
talk and you'd be okay alive. You're ready to blow Tom.
You bumped Skelly, No, get back there, and you did
your best to hang it on a chick. Helen thought
he really didn't play it along with you. You know,
an access rate, a murder, you're a murderer, and a
double count that the actor was knocked on the head
(23:07):
before he drowned. Oh cost a minute space. This could
be fixed if you shut up, period and the report.
I don't understand what angel I don't understand same, but
you say.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
He turned his copee over to the police. Yet Doctor
Kensington was amazed.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
A formality. He will be released and cleared and short
order anything else?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Oh yes, yes, what about Donald Correa.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
An innocent price stander.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
He yead you, beat up and knocked on the head.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And he has already made amend to those tickets for
the fights. No more questions have piped this up, and
I'll give you a have handy and I'll listen to this.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
School days will soon be here.
Speaker 1 (23:58):

Howard when a ride play it on the radio? Not
the type I guess, Sam Spade dictating to Effie, Hey,
she's not bad. You know I'm not dead.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Really that act I thought.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
The name is so as Bill Spear Spade for those
that gives final instructions. Look at him, he has nine
o'clock shadow. Well, I'll come on, let's get out of here,
go to the fight.
