With all my travels, there's one place I'd still love
to go, out of space, and I'd take my MELATONEX
with me to get a good night's sleep. You see, Melatonin,
the principal ingredient in drug free melotonics, has recently been
used on the NASA Space Shuttle to help astronauts maintain
their sleep cycles as they speed from ninth to day
in a matter of minutes. And MELATONEX releases this melatonin
gradually the way our bodies do for a rest sleep,
(02:58):
no matter where, for a sleep and of this world.
Remember it's more than melatonin. It's melatonics family agent.

and taking estorc, a patent of formal vitamin C, just

to work as soon as you take it, so you
can get on with your life. Look for ESTRC on
(03:30):
the label if you're a vitamin C by life of teed.

Friends, This is Larry King alive and well. I've had
open heart surgery and since then to keep my cholesterol
level low, I followed a program that includes Garlik brand
garlic tablets.

I take one every day.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Garlic has been proven to lower cholesterol levels by as
much as twenty five points, and odor free garley contains
the highest level of active ingredients of all garlic tablets.
You only need one tablet a day, not the six
required by other products. Garlik has in unique cholesterol's natural enemy.

Depends on what Inspector Faraday says. Well, he says what
we're looking at.
Speaker 14 (07:25):
Dud got something there?
Speaker 4 (07:27):
How do you like that? In case of accident notified
Potston Blackie, Blackie, what do you mean you don't know
about that guy? Wasn't your name in his wallet? Interested?
In case of accident Lord of five Austin Braggie. I
saw it, Tarling, and I read it for you so
that you'd know what it says.
Speaker 13 (07:47):
But I still don't know Peter's I never saw him.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
In my life. Man a minute, you're holding something back
like a yes my temper?
Speaker 13 (07:53):
Now excuse me, Inspector. I have a date with Mary.
She's much prettier than newer apartment, as much nicer than
the mark here, So I really must run along. You
stay here if you like. Talk to Peter's body. Your
mind and his are a great deal in common.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Blaggie, we fished Peter's body out of the lake this morning. Congratulations.
What't you use for base? Ah? I'm sorry I got
you down here, But after your name was on that card,
I thought you might help us find out what racket
this guy was in.
Speaker 13 (08:16):
You thought that's where you made your post mistake, he
expect to Paraday. Yeah, Joe, we just had the police
laboratory go over the clothes we took up that dead guy.
Peter's so so nothing except that we found they were
hand tailored good material and we're soaked with salt water.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
After you drag them out of a lake. What don't
you expect they'd be soalked with kerosene? No, I just
thought i'd tell you that's all. You see what I'm
up against, Blackie. I get no help at all from anybody.
Speaker 13 (08:41):
Wouldn't say that salt warning, said Joe. That's right, buddy,
And the body was fished out of the lake.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Mm hey, that's right. Flakes don't have salt water on them.
Speaker 13 (08:50):
That's what I was thinking. Oh, you know, Paraday, this
is getting interesting. That guy must have been browned twice.
But why why, he asked me. How do I know why?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I don't even know why it was drung once.
Speaker 15 (09:10):
Oh, Blackie, the next time I come to pick you
up at your apartment, I'm just not going to do it.
Speaker 13 (09:15):
You're not making make more sense than Faraday generally does.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Mary.
Speaker 13 (09:19):
The next time you come to pick me up, you're not.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Going to what talk is that?
Speaker 15 (09:23):
You know just exactly what I mean? Are we ready
to go yet?

Patients might have patience? The show doesn't go on for
an hour.
Speaker 13 (09:29):
We had board sitting in my seat reading theater progress.
Speaker 15 (09:31):
You could talk to me though, Oh.
Speaker 13 (09:33):
Isn't that what I'm doing now?
Speaker 14 (09:35):
I'm so much more comfortable here, you know, I.
Speaker 15 (09:37):
Haven't Now I know why I wanted to leave here, Blackie.
That's either somebody who needs your help and wants it,
or Faraday who needs your help but never want it.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
That's not the door.
Speaker 14 (09:48):
Aren't you a poor curious Mary?
Speaker 15 (09:49):

Speaker 14 (09:57):
I wouldn't feel right.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
About not answering.
Speaker 16 (10:00):
I guess I would meet her alcohol.
Speaker 13 (10:02):

happen to me. Yes, Blacky here, Yes, yes, sorry, hard Blacky.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
If Waler Peters comes up to your apartment at four o'clock,
there'll be four guys carrying him. That's studly the FBI
hold everything Saturday, Speaking as factors, Camers in Harvest part Yeah, Jamison,

Speaker 4 (15:10):
What goes on from here?
Speaker 13 (15:11):
And you still think I didn't see Peters?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Oh, this is all I need. First, the guy has
fished out of a lake when he's clothes had salt
water in him. So he's been drowned twice. Listen, Now
it turns out Walla Peters is a lie. Let'll take it.
It can't be. I don't believe it. I won't believe it,
but can get out of heres wallet pizza, I mean
Fataday speaking.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Joe's the FBI Paradam. We've finished checking on that Walder
Peters volume.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
We know who he was.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Oh, one of the cleverest smugglers. We have a run
across customs. Never could get anything on him.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I examined him and his luckage with a microscope, but.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
He kept bringing in thousands of dollars with the jewels
every trip he took.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I can believe it. The guy is a miracle man.
What do you mean, spier, Yeah, I would just spake
me to know. Thanks John Sung.
Speaker 13 (15:56):
So, Peter, this is a smuggler Faraday and apparently somebody
tried to not him off, but he beat the rap somehow,
and as hiding.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
On Bessus tugboat. Now that makes sense? Oh it does?
Does it? Nothing makes sense on this case, including you, Lackie.
How come your name was on Peter's identification Kyle?
Speaker 13 (16:12):
Are we back to that in case of accellent notified
boss and blackie thing?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Again? We sure are. Maybe you were working with this
Peter's Maybe you're in this smuggling thing. He crossed you,
you locked him off. He had your name on his card,
so that we have a lead to his killer. And
you're telling me all this buck about talking to a
dead man just to throw me off.
Speaker 14 (16:28):
Sara day R know it's ridiculous, but it shows.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I'm thinking, Lackie, what could have happened to the more
keeper in Peter's buddy?
Speaker 14 (16:37):
I have the slightest idea unless Peter's wasn't dead and.
Speaker 13 (16:40):
I did talk to him on board Bessu's tug, how
are we going to find out?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
That's what bothers me.
Speaker 14 (16:45):
I guess we're gonna have to wait.
Speaker 13 (16:46):
At four o'clock the say afternoon, when that guy I
met on the Tuger's doing my apartment well before that,
maybe I can do something about it though. Yeah, what
I've got an idea that tug will be able to
pull me out of this situation.

my spud, okay with me? Oh, hello, Jamerson, you don't
do an here. I'm Blackie.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
I'm starting the harvest squad.
Speaker 14 (20:38):
Just trying to get a lead on the Peters murdy.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Oh.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
I was in Paradise office when you call in to
say that the morgue keeper and Walter Peter's body were missing.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Oh that, well, they're not missing anymore. Say that again,
slower this time, They're not missing anymore. The morgue attenders
that going up for coffee before I got here. When
he came back, he told me where he was and
what happened to Peter's buddy?
Speaker 14 (21:02):
What did happen to it?
Speaker 12 (21:03):
It was claimed the relative of his big girl named
best something or.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Rather came in for it and took it with him.
Speaker 14 (21:09):
Well and clears that up?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Or does it? Huh? Never mind?
Speaker 13 (21:13):
I can't very well explain something to you that I
don't know the answer to myself. Thanks Jamison, they saying him,
pride lugging. I'm sorry you can't stay it or something
breaks on the Peter's chase I got no wanted to.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Talk to in you. You've got plenty of people to
talk to.
Speaker 13 (21:27):
Only nobody can answer you so well that yes was
Let it stop by. I've got some information, even if
I couldn't know what it means. Let's say it's two o'clock.
Now I have until four to keep my appointments.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
We're going down the water primary are we? What for?
Are you get to lead on the Peter's key?
Speaker 13 (21:46):
That's right, the piece is really dead.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I want to know who killed him. If he's alive,
I want to know what's going on.
Speaker 14 (21:53):
And I have an idea.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
One person can give me all that information. A girl
named Bess.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Saturday. Finday. This is Pucky Blackie, go away, fire away,
We'll play a game. You get lost. Nobody look for him, Blackie.
Don't bother me.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Kid, if you think you can bother before, listen to this.
That's missing. This the gal I talked about. The woman.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
How's that tuck? I mean? Is she missing? But the
tuck is going too? Neither of them are here in
my office. Why bother me? She's the key of this
whole case. Paraday.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
I'm don at the water butt now nobody's saying her
are the Tucks this morning. Now, I want you to
call up a harbit squad and try to find out
what happened to her.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
She's the Gallo called for Peter's buddy at the morgue.
Isn't she that's right? Well? What's making so sure? She's
the key to this case.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
We'll let us to get out something. Peter's was a
smart last she ran a tuck. This thing's beginning to
make sense, not to me. It's making sense, not miracles. Yeah,
maybe she and Peter's were a team.
Speaker 14 (22:59):
Don't ask me about lest it's coming.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I don't know it can.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
But I've got to get back to my appointment to
meet the guy that I think is Peters. I want
you to work for Bets.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
I'll get down to the harbor right away like you.
Why isn't that the Seer shore mixed up in something?
All of a sudden, everything is mixed up? Bill Charles's yeager.
Make sure you don't overlook a thing, even if you
(23:28):
think it's only a launch. You see gall and we'll
stop this launch. Try an inspector, Faraday, Tucker Siller, float
anywhere we'll find it. I don't care if we find
a touch I want to find that gal bet what
time is it? Three thirty an half an hour? Black?
He's gotta take with a guy. He thinks it's Peters.
If it turns out to beat Peters, you'll be searching
(23:49):
for another body mine. Her stringer's getting me a little
wacky toward inspector.
Speaker 13 (23:54):
I don't aspector.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
There's a party in the water, simmer on the fourth time.
And where's that bell? That's the left? Oh you don't
have a tummy. Hey, that's fine. There is nobody in
the water the day head over that went, Joe, I'm
having daughter. He's alive. That's something. Yeah, who gon't run
it down? I'll worry. Wow, big girls gonna lean over
(24:19):
the side with me, thy Joe, you have us to
come out, okay, okay, please don't help her up here.
He looks all in. A lady, let's have your hands.
Speaker 16 (24:28):
If it's tad fit, get ready to.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Grab her out of hand They okay, j't have a boat,
daddy right?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
He fully all in and no kridness.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Oh my p her all the day. That's the idea.
Must be conscious that she couldn't live been swimming. I'm
conscious you Sara Day I'm sad. I got a tug boat.
You have amboat working out of the heart. The guy
(25:03):
wreck tried to drown. We'll get him best. You're just
lying here and relax. They'll get some hot coffee and blankets,
Sire Spicker. So somebody tried to drown get him Best?
Probably somebody who wanted to stop you from telling us
who killed wall of Peters? Who wasn't try to knock
out the best?
Speaker 13 (25:19):
Who wasn't it was Walter Peters?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Ooh, what time?
Speaker 15 (25:30):
Isn't Mary twenty after four hasn't changed more than a
minute since the last time you lasted, Blackie, I'm.
Speaker 13 (25:37):
Sorry two years totow That guy isn't gonna show no
question about that.
Speaker 15 (25:43):
We were on everybody take parade today, aren't we say?
Hasn't even called back?
Speaker 13 (25:47):
And maybe it's harbor police haven't fund many trays the
best it's tug boat and hasn't got anything to tell
me about Saturday.
Speaker 14 (25:53):
Is a good cop. That tug boat is still a
clothe you'll find it.
Speaker 15 (25:56):
Where did you say when you follow him and tell
him Best was missing?
Speaker 14 (25:59):
That kind of talk isn't meant for your ears?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Lady?
Speaker 14 (26:01):
Oh okay, what's happening.
Speaker 13 (26:04):
Oh, Marry, how do you think of this case?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
He said?
Speaker 14 (26:11):
A theory about us? It's so completely wacky.
Speaker 13 (26:13):
I can't find anything to hold on to.
Speaker 15 (26:15):
Well, as a matter of fact, I do have a theory.
Speaker 13 (26:18):
You know, maybe the guy they fight with don't go
away night. Don't worry, I won't Hello.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I get his name. That guy show up? Not yet?
Why why?
Speaker 5 (26:27):
I'll tell you why?
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Because he doesn't going to show up.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
We just missed your fund. Fast out of the harbor.
Why about the brother, she says, only I don't believe it.
Speaker 14 (26:36):
What do you believe?
Speaker 5 (26:38):
I think best killed whoever it was. It was the
most to meet you. You told me yourself. She didn't
want her to talk to him. Shot him off. Then
take this swimming business so it would look like he
taught a killer.
Speaker 14 (26:49):
You say that's a safe.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
She's in the Willis hospital clim she's suffering from shot,
but she's thinking not a.
Speaker 14 (26:55):
Fair you bet I do.
Speaker 13 (26:57):
I think you've got this thing all outside of pal
and I'm going to straighten out that case and.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
You at the same time.
Speaker 13 (27:12):
This is the room, Blackie, that is in planks filere pile,
Come on in.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Hello, that's hi. Blackie, glad you're here. I'm glad. Somebody
is blaggee. This name is trying to tell me that
Waler Peter's trying to drown her just now, doesn't you
know we know these dead?
Speaker 15 (27:31):
Wait a minute, Paraday, Danny Peters is dead. Walter Peters
tried to kill me.
Speaker 13 (27:37):
Now that's really.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Wonderful because if I understood what you were saying, I.
Speaker 13 (27:41):
Can tell you Paraday, Danny and Walter Peters with Quinton's right,
that's right.
Speaker 14 (27:47):
They had a smuggling rocket going.
Speaker 13 (27:48):
Danny Peters would get his luggage examine at the customs,
get it okay, disappear from him, and Walter Peters would
take his place, going through the.
Speaker 14 (27:56):
Gate, his luggage all fixed up with counterfeit seals.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Good figure, And that's how it was done.
Speaker 15 (28:03):
Walter would walk out with a load of smuggle stuff
and Danny would hide on board the ship until night
when I'd come and take him off the knight tug.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Okay, okay, that explains the racket. But whose body did
we find him? A lake? Danny Peter his body. Walter
killed him and put his own wallet.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
In Danny's pocket so to be found.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
They had a quarrel. Water hit out of my tugbolt
and I was afraid.
Speaker 15 (28:27):
To say anything to anybody because he threatened to kill
me too.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
So it was Walter.
Speaker 14 (28:32):
I talked to one board your tug.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
That's right.
Speaker 15 (28:35):
Oh, I just wanted you to see him, not talk
to him. I knew you'd find a way of putting
this thing together once you got a look at Walter
Blackie or you talk to him.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
He knew what I was up to, and so he
tried to drown me. Where is he now?
Speaker 15 (28:51):
I probably have a little joint near the harbor, Nellie's place.
Speaker 13 (28:55):
Nellie's place, Eh, that's all I wanted to know. Hello,
it is now, it's.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
You, plucky. Sorry, I couldn't get to get that a point,
but that you're.
Speaker 13 (29:14):
Apartment, I'm not get come up here. You'd probably have
filled me with a pack of lies and got me
even more confused. Trying to knock off beets, gave your
hand away the good life and kicking kicking all of
the police headquarters.
Speaker 14 (29:29):
My friend Paraday wanted to send.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Some paps down to pick you up. After all the
property gave me.
Speaker 13 (29:33):
I forget I'm inside over the.
Speaker 12 (29:34):
Front of bringing in you call it funny.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
What do you call it? A punch? Leading with your
right here?
Speaker 14 (29:41):
Lad little.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
And has a little homeworks of practice? Anybody feel the
need of any higher education? Smart boys, couple of you
have helped me drag him out of here and into
my car.
Speaker 16 (30:00):
Peters seems to have peed it out, Flackie.
Speaker 15 (30:12):
About the only thing in this case I don't understand
is why Danny Peter's body was drowned in salt water
first and then jumped in a lake.
Speaker 13 (30:19):
Well, I coaxed his killers.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Tell me Mary.
Speaker 14 (30:23):
There was a fight on the barge.
Speaker 13 (30:25):
Walter knocked Danny overboard, and when best fish the man
he was dead. Walter wanted bad body as far from
the harbor as possible.
Speaker 14 (30:31):
So he caught it at the lake and source it in.
Speaker 15 (30:33):
Oh well, there's one more thing I just thought of.
How come your name was on the identification card found
on that body?
Speaker 13 (30:39):
But that was to make sure the Paraday was called
in on the case, so that when the body was
found headquarters in the city would list Walter Peters as dead.
Walton knew that my name would bring Paraday on the run.
That's why he put the name on his identification card
and put.
Speaker 14 (30:52):
It in as well as his pocket.
Speaker 15 (30:54):
All of a sudden, I think of more questions.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Here's one more.
Speaker 15 (30:57):
Why did be claim the body of the dead man
from the morgue?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Well, Walter made her do it.
Speaker 13 (31:01):
I guess he was getting a little panicky and didn't
want that body around for fear that there was something
on it that mine plaid to him.
Speaker 14 (31:09):
He hadn't realized the salt.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
Water clue we found right away would tip us off
if something was screwy.
Speaker 14 (31:15):
Now there any more questions?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
No more quack. That's good, say, I was just.
Speaker 14 (31:22):
Thinking of something.
Speaker 13 (31:24):
You know, This business of brother killing brother goes all
the way back to the Bible day. That's right, And
Walter Peters bribe to emulate Kine and get away with
killing his brother, only he wasn't able.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Oh and that's Boston Blackie with the Peters mixed up
starring Dick Colmar has originally brought cast February fourth, nineteen
(32:02):
forty seven. Okay, here's the answer to our trivia question.
Who played Boston Blackie on television? Well, the answer is
Kent Taylor Chester Morris played Boston Blackie in a series
of b movies for Columbia, but Dick Kolmar was radio
as Boston Blackie, and Kent Taylor played him in the
(32:23):
TV series I'm Stan Freeberg.
Roll back from the UFYR newsroom. We're to look at

Speaker 8 (02:35):
With all my travels, there's one place I'd still love
to go, out of space, and I'd take my MELATONEX
with me to get a good night's sleep. You see, Melatonin,
the principal ingredient in drug free melotonics, has recently been
used on the NASA Space Shuttle to help astronauts maintain
their sleep cycles as they speed from ninth to day
in a matter of minutes. And MELATONEX releases this melatonin
gradually the way our bodies do for a rest sleep,
(02:58):
no matter where, for a sleep and of this world.
Remember it's more than melatonin. It's melatonics family agent.
Speaker 9 (03:08):
Why good health, It's the most important thing in life
and taking estorc, a patent of formal vitamin C, just
may be the most important thing you can do. After all,
vitamin C is essential for life, and STRC is no
ordinary vitamin ceed XTC is body ready, so it goes
to work as soon as you take it, so you
can get on with your life. Look for ESTRC on

the label if you're a vitamin C by life of teed.

Friends, This is Larry King alive and well. I've had
open heart surgery and since then to keep my cholesterol
level low, I followed a program that includes Garlik brand

Garlic has been proven to lower cholesterol levels by as
much as twenty five points, and odor free garley contains
the highest level of active ingredients of all garlic tablets.
You only need one tablet a day, not the six
required by other products. Garlik has in unique cholesterol's natural enemy.

have the answer for you right after this detective adventure
of Boston Blackie titled The Peters Mixed Up as originally

And hey, I think we did. I look on there.
That's it, all right, Joe Knight for you. I'll kill

Take him bath the hard way.
Speaker 4 (06:20):

Yeah, yeah, this wallet, Lovejoe, and take a look at
his identification to name Walter Peters address Harrison Hotel in
case of accident notify.
Speaker 13 (07:13):
Kay, do you see what I see?
Speaker 14 (07:15):
Brian sink.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
So sure it's a good thing. This was a waterproof
or other. Maybe it was a bad thing.
Speaker 12 (07:21):
Depends on what Inspector Faraday says. Well, he says what
we're looking at.
Speaker 14 (07:25):
Dud got something there?
Speaker 4 (07:27):
How do you like that? In case of accident notified
Potston Blackie, Blackie, what do you mean you don't know
about that guy? Wasn't your name in his wallet? Interested?
In case of accident Lord of five Austin Braggie. I
saw it, Tarling, and I read it for you so
that you'd know what it says.
Speaker 13 (07:47):
But I still don't know Peter's I never saw him.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
In my life. Man a minute, you're holding something back
like a yes my temper?
Speaker 13 (07:53):
Now excuse me, Inspector. I have a date with Mary.
She's much prettier than newer apartment, as much nicer than
the mark here, So I really must run along. You
stay here if you like. Talk to Peter's body. Your
mind and his are a great deal in common.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Blaggie, we fished Peter's body out of the lake this morning. Congratulations.
What't you use for base? Ah? I'm sorry I got
you down here, But after your name was on that card,
I thought you might help us find out what racket
this guy was in.
Speaker 13 (08:16):
You thought that's where you made your post mistake, he
expect to Paraday. Yeah, Joe, we just had the police
laboratory go over the clothes we took up that dead guy.
Peter's so so nothing except that we found they were
hand tailored good material and we're soaked with salt water.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
After you drag them out of a lake. What don't
you expect they'd be soalked with kerosene? No, I just
thought i'd tell you that's all. You see what I'm
up against, Blackie. I get no help at all from anybody.
Speaker 13 (08:41):
Wouldn't say that salt warning, said Joe. That's right, buddy,
And the body was fished out of the lake.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Mm hey, that's right. Flakes don't have salt water on them.
Speaker 13 (08:50):
That's what I was thinking. Oh, you know, Paraday, this
is getting interesting. That guy must have been browned twice.
But why why, he asked me. How do I know why?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I don't even know why it was drung once.
Speaker 15 (09:10):
Oh, Blackie, the next time I come to pick you
up at your apartment, I'm just not going to do it.
Speaker 13 (09:15):
You're not making make more sense than Faraday generally does.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Mary.
Speaker 13 (09:19):
The next time you come to pick me up, you're not.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Going to what talk is that?
Speaker 15 (09:23):
You know just exactly what I mean? Are we ready
to go yet?
Speaker 14 (09:26):
Patients might have patience? The show doesn't go on for
an hour.
Speaker 13 (09:29):
We had board sitting in my seat reading theater progress.
Speaker 15 (09:31):
You could talk to me though, Oh.
Speaker 13 (09:33):
Isn't that what I'm doing now?
Speaker 14 (09:35):
I'm so much more comfortable here, you know, I.
Speaker 15 (09:37):
Haven't Now I know why I wanted to leave here, Blackie.
That's either somebody who needs your help and wants it,
or Faraday who needs your help but never want it.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
That's not the door.
Speaker 14 (09:48):
Aren't you a poor curious Mary?
Speaker 15 (09:49):
Oh yes I am.
Speaker 16 (09:50):
I'm dying to see how.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
The player are going to start.
Speaker 13 (09:54):
Suppose that is somebody who needs help at the door.
Speaker 14 (09:57):
I wouldn't feel right.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
About not answering.
Speaker 16 (10:00):
I guess I would meet her alcohol.
Speaker 13 (10:02):
Thanks Mary, I hear you feel that way.
Speaker 15 (10:04):
Maybe it's only the boy with the papers that could
happen to me. Yes, Blacky here, Yes, yes, sorry, hard Blacky.

Speaker 13 (11:06):
In that case, why not tell me about it best?

Speaker 13 (14:16):
What's your excuse when I'm not here and I listened
to you?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
You listen. I'm getting a call from the FBI any second.
Speaker 13 (14:22):
They think they've got a.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Lead on who Waller Peters was.
Speaker 13 (14:24):
What I want to tell you is that Walter Peters
wasn't anything he is. I saw him an hour.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Ago on a tuck walking up and down is making
you dizzy too. I saw him on a tuckboard. I
talked to him.
Speaker 13 (14:35):
He wouldn't clock on the tug, but he said that
he'd meet be in my apartment at four o'clock.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
If Waler Peters comes up to your apartment at four o'clock,
there'll be four guys carrying him. That's studly the FBI
hold everything Saturday, Speaking as factors, Camers in Harvest part Yeah, Jamison,
what happened to water Peter's party? What happened to Waller
Peter's body?
Speaker 13 (14:55):
Well, it's in the marg that's what happened to it.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
From the wall.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
The guy in Charlie Kane here and neither is Peter's body?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
What there's not you? I know something about it?
Speaker 14 (15:08):
I know, I know I heard no pale.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
What goes on from here?
Speaker 13 (15:11):
And you still think I didn't see Peters?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Oh, this is all I need. First, the guy has
fished out of a lake when he's clothes had salt
water in him. So he's been drowned twice. Listen, Now
it turns out Walla Peters is a lie. Let'll take it.
It can't be. I don't believe it. I won't believe it,
but can get out of heres wallet pizza, I mean
Fataday speaking.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Joe's the FBI Paradam. We've finished checking on that Walder
Peters volume.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
We know who he was.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Oh, one of the cleverest smugglers. We have a run
across customs. Never could get anything on him.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I examined him and his luckage with a microscope, but.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
He kept bringing in thousands of dollars with the jewels
every trip he took.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I can believe it. The guy is a miracle man.
What do you mean, spier, Yeah, I would just spake
me to know. Thanks John Sung.
Speaker 13 (15:56):
So, Peter, this is a smuggler Faraday and apparently somebody
tried to not him off, but he beat the rap somehow,
and as hiding.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
On Bessus tugboat. Now that makes sense? Oh it does?
Does it? Nothing makes sense on this case, including you, Lackie.
How come your name was on Peter's identification Kyle?
Speaker 13 (16:12):
Are we back to that in case of accellent notified
boss and blackie thing?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Again? We sure are. Maybe you were working with this
Peter's Maybe you're in this smuggling thing. He crossed you,
you locked him off. He had your name on his card,
so that we have a lead to his killer. And
you're telling me all this buck about talking to a
dead man just to throw me off.
Speaker 14 (16:28):
Sara day R know it's ridiculous, but it shows.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I'm thinking, Lackie, what could have happened to the more
keeper in Peter's buddy?
Speaker 14 (16:37):
I have the slightest idea unless Peter's wasn't dead and.
Speaker 13 (16:40):
I did talk to him on board Bessu's tug, how
are we going to find out?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
That's what bothers me.
Speaker 14 (16:45):
I guess we're gonna have to wait.
Speaker 13 (16:46):
At four o'clock the say afternoon, when that guy I
met on the Tuger's doing my apartment well before that,
maybe I can do something about it though. Yeah, what
I've got an idea that tug will be able to
pull me out of this situation.

News Radio five seventy of the US YR. Now let's
get back to Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
The body of Walter Peters, smuggler, is fished out of
a lake by police and Boston. Blackie is drawn into
the case when his name is found on Peter's identification card. Later,
Blackie is certain he talks to Peters a board of
tug owned by a gal named Bess, even.
Speaker 13 (19:57):
Though Peters is apparently dead.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
When Peter's body is found missing from the morgue, Blackie
is confused, but he knows he has an appointment with
the man he met on the tug. With several hours
to spare, Blackie and Mary are on roof of the tug.
Once Morr stop.
Speaker 13 (20:14):
Off at the morgue, you better wait out here, Mary.
I'll go into the morgue myself or will be best.
Speaker 15 (20:20):
Oh Blackie, I don't care how long you take as
long as I'm waiting outside. There is something about the
morgue that well.
Speaker 13 (20:28):
Most of the people inside don't see the mind here
my spud, okay with me? Oh, hello, Jamerson, you don't
do an here. I'm Blackie.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
I'm starting the harvest squad.
Speaker 14 (20:38):
Just trying to get a lead on the Peters murdy.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Oh.
Speaker 13 (20:41):
I was in Paradise office when you call in to
say that the morgue keeper and Walter Peter's body were missing.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Oh that, well, they're not missing anymore. Say that again,
slower this time, They're not missing anymore. The morgue attenders
that going up for coffee before I got here. When
he came back, he told me where he was and
what happened to Peter's buddy?
Speaker 14 (21:02):
What did happen to it?
Speaker 12 (21:03):
It was claimed the relative of his big girl named
best something or.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Rather came in for it and took it with him.
Speaker 14 (21:09):
Well and clears that up?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Or does it? Huh? Never mind?
Speaker 13 (21:13):
I can't very well explain something to you that I
don't know the answer to myself. Thanks Jamison, they saying him,
pride lugging. I'm sorry you can't stay it or something
breaks on the Peter's chase I got no wanted to.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Talk to in you. You've got plenty of people to
talk to.
Speaker 13 (21:27):
Only nobody can answer you so well that yes was
Let it stop by. I've got some information, even if
I couldn't know what it means. Let's say it's two o'clock.
Now I have until four to keep my appointments.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
We're going down the water primary are we? What for?
Are you get to lead on the Peter's key?
Speaker 13 (21:46):
That's right, the piece is really dead.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I want to know who killed him. If he's alive,
I want to know what's going on.
Speaker 14 (21:53):
And I have an idea.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
One person can give me all that information. A girl
named Bess.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Saturday. Finday. This is Pucky Blackie, go away, fire away,
We'll play a game. You get lost. Nobody look for him, Blackie.
Don't bother me.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Kid, if you think you can bother before, listen to this.
That's missing. This the gal I talked about. The woman.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
How's that tuck? I mean? Is she missing? But the
tuck is going too? Neither of them are here in
my office. Why bother me? She's the key of this
whole case. Paraday.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
I'm don at the water butt now nobody's saying her
are the Tucks this morning. Now, I want you to
call up a harbit squad and try to find out
what happened to her.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
She's the Gallo called for Peter's buddy at the morgue.
Isn't she that's right? Well? What's making so sure? She's
the key to this case.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
We'll let us to get out something. Peter's was a
smart last she ran a tuck. This thing's beginning to
make sense, not to me. It's making sense, not miracles. Yeah,
maybe she and Peter's were a team.
Speaker 14 (22:59):
Don't ask me about lest it's coming.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I don't know it can.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
But I've got to get back to my appointment to
meet the guy that I think is Peters. I want
you to work for Bets.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
I'll get down to the harbor right away like you.
Why isn't that the Seer shore mixed up in something?
All of a sudden, everything is mixed up? Bill Charles's yeager.
Make sure you don't overlook a thing, even if you
(23:28):
think it's only a launch. You see gall and we'll
stop this launch. Try an inspector, Faraday, Tucker Siller, float
anywhere we'll find it. I don't care if we find
a touch I want to find that gal bet what
time is it? Three thirty an half an hour? Black?
He's gotta take with a guy. He thinks it's Peters.
If it turns out to beat Peters, you'll be searching
(23:49):
for another body mine. Her stringer's getting me a little
wacky toward inspector.
Speaker 13 (23:54):
I don't aspector.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
There's a party in the water, simmer on the fourth time.
And where's that bell? That's the left? Oh you don't
have a tummy. Hey, that's fine. There is nobody in
the water the day head over that went, Joe, I'm
having daughter. He's alive. That's something. Yeah, who gon't run
it down? I'll worry. Wow, big girls gonna lean over
(24:19):
the side with me, thy Joe, you have us to
come out, okay, okay, please don't help her up here.
He looks all in. A lady, let's have your hands.
Speaker 16 (24:28):
If it's tad fit, get ready to.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Grab her out of hand They okay, j't have a boat,
daddy right?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
He fully all in and no kridness.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Oh my p her all the day. That's the idea.
Must be conscious that she couldn't live been swimming. I'm
conscious you Sara Day I'm sad. I got a tug boat.
You have amboat working out of the heart. The guy
(25:03):
wreck tried to drown. We'll get him best. You're just
lying here and relax. They'll get some hot coffee and blankets,
Sire Spicker. So somebody tried to drown get him Best?
Probably somebody who wanted to stop you from telling us
who killed wall of Peters? Who wasn't try to knock
out the best?
Speaker 13 (25:19):
Who wasn't it was Walter Peters?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Ooh, what time?
Speaker 15 (25:30):
Isn't Mary twenty after four hasn't changed more than a
minute since the last time you lasted, Blackie, I'm.
Speaker 13 (25:37):
Sorry two years totow That guy isn't gonna show no
question about that.
Speaker 15 (25:43):
We were on everybody take parade today, aren't we say?
Hasn't even called back?
Speaker 13 (25:47):
And maybe it's harbor police haven't fund many trays the
best it's tug boat and hasn't got anything to tell
me about Saturday.
Speaker 14 (25:53):
Is a good cop. That tug boat is still a
clothe you'll find it.
Speaker 15 (25:56):
Where did you say when you follow him and tell
him Best was missing?
Speaker 14 (25:59):
That kind of talk isn't meant for your ears?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Lady?
Speaker 14 (26:01):
Oh okay, what's happening.
Speaker 13 (26:04):
Oh, Marry, how do you think of this case?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
He said?
Speaker 14 (26:11):
A theory about us? It's so completely wacky.
Speaker 13 (26:13):
I can't find anything to hold on to.
Speaker 15 (26:15):
Well, as a matter of fact, I do have a theory.
Speaker 13 (26:18):
You know, maybe the guy they fight with don't go
away night. Don't worry, I won't Hello.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I get his name. That guy show up? Not yet?
Why why?
Speaker 5 (26:27):
I'll tell you why?
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Because he doesn't going to show up.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
We just missed your fund. Fast out of the harbor.
Why about the brother, she says, only I don't believe it.
Speaker 14 (26:36):
What do you believe?
Speaker 5 (26:38):
I think best killed whoever it was. It was the
most to meet you. You told me yourself. She didn't
want her to talk to him. Shot him off. Then
take this swimming business so it would look like he
taught a killer.
Speaker 14 (26:49):
You say that's a safe.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
She's in the Willis hospital clim she's suffering from shot,
but she's thinking not a.
Speaker 14 (26:55):
Fair you bet I do.
Speaker 13 (26:57):
I think you've got this thing all outside of pal
and I'm going to straighten out that case and.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
You at the same time.
Speaker 13 (27:12):
This is the room, Blackie, that is in planks filere pile,
Come on in.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Hello, that's hi. Blackie, glad you're here. I'm glad. Somebody
is blaggee. This name is trying to tell me that
Waler Peter's trying to drown her just now, doesn't you
know we know these dead?
Speaker 15 (27:31):
Wait a minute, Paraday, Danny Peters is dead. Walter Peters
tried to kill me.
Speaker 13 (27:37):
Now that's really.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Wonderful because if I understood what you were saying, I.
Speaker 13 (27:41):
Can tell you Paraday, Danny and Walter Peters with Quinton's right,
that's right.
Speaker 14 (27:47):
They had a smuggling rocket going.
Speaker 13 (27:48):
Danny Peters would get his luggage examine at the customs,
get it okay, disappear from him, and Walter Peters would
take his place, going through the.
Speaker 14 (27:56):
Gate, his luggage all fixed up with counterfeit seals.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Good figure, And that's how it was done.
Speaker 15 (28:03):
Walter would walk out with a load of smuggle stuff
and Danny would hide on board the ship until night
when I'd come and take him off the knight tug.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Okay, okay, that explains the racket. But whose body did
we find him? A lake? Danny Peter his body. Walter
killed him and put his own wallet.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
In Danny's pocket so to be found.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
They had a quarrel. Water hit out of my tugbolt
and I was afraid.
Speaker 15 (28:27):
To say anything to anybody because he threatened to kill
me too.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
So it was Walter.
Speaker 14 (28:32):
I talked to one board your tug.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
That's right.
Speaker 15 (28:35):
Oh, I just wanted you to see him, not talk
to him. I knew you'd find a way of putting
this thing together once you got a look at Walter
Blackie or you talk to him.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
He knew what I was up to, and so he
tried to drown me. Where is he now?
Speaker 15 (28:51):
I probably have a little joint near the harbor, Nellie's place.
Speaker 13 (28:55):
Nellie's place, Eh, that's all I wanted to know. Hello,
it is now, it's.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
You, plucky. Sorry, I couldn't get to get that a point,
but that you're.
Speaker 13 (29:14):
Apartment, I'm not get come up here. You'd probably have
filled me with a pack of lies and got me
even more confused. Trying to knock off beets, gave your
hand away the good life and kicking kicking all of
the police headquarters.
Speaker 14 (29:29):
My friend Paraday wanted to send.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Some paps down to pick you up. After all the
property gave me.
Speaker 13 (29:33):
I forget I'm inside over the.
Speaker 12 (29:34):
Front of bringing in you call it funny.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
What do you call it? A punch? Leading with your
right here?
Speaker 14 (29:41):
Lad little.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
And has a little homeworks of practice? Anybody feel the
need of any higher education? Smart boys, couple of you
have helped me drag him out of here and into
my car.
Speaker 16 (30:00):
Peters seems to have peed it out, Flackie.
Speaker 15 (30:12):
About the only thing in this case I don't understand
is why Danny Peter's body was drowned in salt water
first and then jumped in a lake.
Speaker 13 (30:19):
Well, I coaxed his killers.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Tell me Mary.
Speaker 14 (30:23):
There was a fight on the barge.
Speaker 13 (30:25):
Walter knocked Danny overboard, and when best fish the man
he was dead. Walter wanted bad body as far from
the harbor as possible.
Speaker 14 (30:31):
So he caught it at the lake and source it in.
Speaker 15 (30:33):
Oh well, there's one more thing I just thought of.
How come your name was on the identification card found
on that body?
Speaker 13 (30:39):
But that was to make sure the Paraday was called
in on the case, so that when the body was
found headquarters in the city would list Walter Peters as dead.
Walton knew that my name would bring Paraday on the run.
That's why he put the name on his identification card
and put.
Speaker 14 (30:52):
It in as well as his pocket.
Speaker 15 (30:54):
All of a sudden, I think of more questions.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Here's one more.
Speaker 15 (30:57):
Why did be claim the body of the dead man
from the morgue?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Well, Walter made her do it.
Speaker 13 (31:01):
I guess he was getting a little panicky and didn't
want that body around for fear that there was something
on it that mine plaid to him.
Speaker 14 (31:09):
He hadn't realized the salt.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
Water clue we found right away would tip us off
if something was screwy.
Speaker 14 (31:15):
Now there any more questions?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
No more quack. That's good, say, I was just.
Speaker 14 (31:22):
Thinking of something.
Speaker 13 (31:24):
You know, This business of brother killing brother goes all
the way back to the Bible day. That's right, And
Walter Peters bribe to emulate Kine and get away with
killing his brother, only he wasn't able.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Oh and that's Boston Blackie with the Peters mixed up
starring Dick Colmar has originally brought cast February fourth, nineteen
(32:02):
forty seven. Okay, here's the answer to our trivia question.
Who played Boston Blackie on television? Well, the answer is

of b movies for Columbia, but Dick Kolmar was radio
