Give Miss Johnson's cell hm, cause she's asleep.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
That's all there is to do in jail.

Speaker 2 (08:54):

Speaker 1 (10:05):
He's awake now, Oh, Blackie, recognize me? Huh sure. I'm
Bill Jefferson.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
He knows you. He knows you all right.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
If a gun on up, Doc, he's pretty tricky.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
He's covered. Go ahead. The truth theorem should be working now.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I wonder do you want to know why you're here, Blackie. Well,
a Johnson mob pulled a fancy bank job in Egertsville
last year, got a nice haul, but the cops grabbed
the whole gang before they could do anything with it.
The money stashed, and I think you know where. The
only member of the Johnson mob who didn't get sent
up right away was Carolyn. Now you talked to her

(10:42):
in jail last night. I know because I had a
man following you. She told you where the gang hit
the money, didn't she?

Speaker 7 (10:48):
Rom?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
I'm Blackie where's the Eggertsville Bank money hidden?

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Where Packy write it down?

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Well, he's just set there. Not true sermons? Now good,
I tell you it is.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Keep on asking him.

Speaker 7 (11:04):
He's just fighting against Tell them the truth that goes
from hair like he's winning. Tell him to write the
answer down on that head.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Go on, keep after him.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Maybe I got feed it up.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
No, no, no, no, just keep asking him that question.
Where's the Eggers of money hidden? Where did Johnson stash it?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
See?

Speaker 2 (11:18):
See he's trying to answer.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
I mean he's just trying to talk. Doctor Seram's a
fly here.

Speaker 7 (11:22):
Let me try both Blacky's flack. He write the answer
to this question? Where did Johnson hide the money he
took from the Eggers through bank?

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Hey, he's right.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
I told you would write it all out, Blackie, all
of us.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Hey, he's finished. Were the pad before he changes his mind?

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Don't worry, he has no control over his mind.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
What do you right? He out Johnson had the money
and the well on the first farm north of Owensborough.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
And now back to Boston, Blackie.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Blackie finds out from Carolin Johnson where the Johnson mob
hid the money they stole from the Edgersville bank, so
he is kidnapped by another gang, given the truth serum,
and forced to tell the location of the loop. Meanwhile,
Mary Shorty and Inspector Faraday are frantically searching for him.
Complicate matters even more, Carolyn Johnson is found dead in

(12:28):
of all places, jail who. As we return to our story,
Mary and Shorty are in Blackie's apartment trying to find
something else that will tell them where they can locate
Blacky man.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
As Miss Worthley, I can't find nothing, neither can I, Shorty.

Speaker 8 (12:44):
Oh golly, what would Blackie do right now if he
were looking for me?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
She? I don't know. He'd defying it, it's all. But
don't ask me how, No.

Speaker 8 (12:52):
Not verything. What would Blackie do?

Speaker 1 (12:54):

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I mean even dumban and you thank.

Speaker 1 (12:59):

Speaker 8 (13:00):
Huh. You know, I think like you would take the
one creol he had and he would work on it
until it makes some sense.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, but we don't have no clue.

Speaker 8 (13:07):
We have a note he left it months and some
kind of close Shorty when he could figure it out.

Speaker 8 (13:29):
I think that's the clue.

Speaker 1 (13:31):

I'll get her clothes.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yes, President spiked a Faraday? Is sill trying to find
your boyfriend?

Speaker 8 (13:40):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Well, I just wanted to tell you that money wasn't
the only reason he's kipping. And what's more, you better
hope we never find it. Why Because Karl Johnson was
killed by poison chewing gum.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
That Blanke, he said, tour in a package. Nah, how
do you like that?

Speaker 8 (13:52):
I don't like an inspection and it's not true.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
And you know it.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I know Blankey sent her a package from the Waltham
drug store. I know it contained poison chewing gum. I know, Carolyn,
I have some time from poison chewing gum. And I
don't Blacky skim. What else do you want me to know?

Speaker 8 (14:04):
Who really killed the Johnson girl?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Blackie did, cause then he'd be the only one on
the outside who where the.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Baggers spent the money with him.

Speaker 8 (14:10):
Oh, inspector, who delivered the package from the drug store.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Trying to find out now, Well.

If I were Blackie, i'd find out too, wouldn't I.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
If you were Blackie, you'd claim you were gonna tell

I do?

Speaker 8 (17:28):
Well, then tell us who delivered that package.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
To the jail?

Speaker 2 (17:30):
I told you I did.

Speaker 7 (17:31):
Yeah, morse, if somebody pray you to say that, nobody
pay me anything.

Speaker 8 (17:35):
Somebody took that package away from you and delivered it
to the jail, isn't that true?

Speaker 4 (17:38):
Look?

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I don't have to talk.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
You can't do anything to meet No, but I can
do something for you.

Speaker 8 (17:42):
Yeah, if you'll talk, I'll pay your twice, but you
are given not to talk.

Speaker 7 (17:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (17:45):
How much were you paid?

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Ten dollars?

Speaker 8 (17:47):
I'll pay you twenty twenty bucks. Huh that's right.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Okay. A man did stop me. He said he delivered
the package. He gave me ten bucks, so I let
him deliver it.

Speaker 8 (17:56):
You know what was in that package?

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Sure, I wrapped it up. What was in uh A
cool of bar soap.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
And uh twop of tooth paste.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
No chewing gum, No chewing gum.

Speaker 8 (18:04):
Thank, that's sure going to gum up Saturday's case against Blackie.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah, miss Presley, you're right. The same guy who took
the package away from that clerk brought the poison guns
to the Johnson girl. Maybe Blackie didn't skip.

Speaker 8 (18:24):
Oh anybody who was clever enough to kill a girl
inside the jailers maybe clever enough to kidnap Blackie too.
We could only find him.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
I'm beginning to see what's happened, though.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
The Johnson Girl told Blackie where the money was hidden,
so many got wires that she'd spilled grabbed Blackie and
I was trying to make him talk.

Speaker 8 (18:40):
Said, why would the Johnson girl tell Blackie where the
money was?

Speaker 1 (18:42):
What?

Speaker 4 (18:42):
She probably wanted Blackie to go get it and turn
it over to the police.

Speaker 8 (18:45):
Then, if Blackie was kidnapped, how do you explain this
note that he wrote about going to Chicago?

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Oh, he was probably Foster right then?

Speaker 8 (18:50):
Mm, I still think it's some kind of cluey it
with you?

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Sure?

Speaker 5 (18:53):
Right here?

Speaker 1 (18:54):

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
