It was lying near his body.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
What were you doing in big Bee's office?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I haven't the slightest idea.
Speaker 7 (04:08):

What's your name? Honey child?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
Janet j and ill.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Name Digbie's murderer for you when you're gett here.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Okay, only it's only fair to tell you that. In
mystery stories, when a witness asks somebody to come to
her apartment so she can name the killer, she invariably
turns up dead.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Well, I'm not worried.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Well, uh, how.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
About just a hint, just in case this mystery runs
through the poem?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You wanna hit? All right?

How about if I told you that I killed Dingie.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Hi, Matthews, expect the fired? Am I to you?
Speaker 3 (05:44):

Speaker 5 (05:44):

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Sergeant Matthews, kindly convey my compliments to inspect the fired?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Ann say I would like an audience. Oh, I say
you should go to a theater. Auder it blanky Boston, Blakie.

are you waiting for him?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
In trauma?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yes, sir Blackie, I gotta throw you out. I'll go myself.
This is the door of the street, isn't hey?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
No?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
That leads to the inspectors office.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I have such an awful sense of direction. Hello, inspector,
what are you inspecting?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Black you'd be a good boy and say goodbye. I've
had enough trouble for one day.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
That's why I'm here Paraday to lighten the burden you bear.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
So great, I beat it, Blackie. Unless you know something
about the Digby.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Murder, nothing very much. Only who killed him.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I know who killed him, a guy named Tom Roach.
Digby was just about to close that cabareine gambling joint.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Of broaches pulling. Why not arrestless Tom Roach.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And get left out of court. Juries don't want to
know what I know. They only care about what I
can prove.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Well.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I just dropped in to tell you that I'll deliver
your approof tonight.
Speaker 4 (06:42):

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah? You saying goodbye. Take the door that leads right
to the street. You'll get the police station a bad
name if people see you walking through that door there.

Did you know that your best buy in car insurance
is nationwide? Yes? Their nationwide Mutual Insurance of Columbus, Ohio
offers fair raids and claim service that second to none.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
For example, for half of all.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Nationwide auto claims are paid with twenty four hours after
noticeing loss. In addition, nationwise coverage is about the broadest
in the industry.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Just a few of the reasons.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Why over two and a quarter million satisfied drivers Insure
was nationwide. Compare nationwide with any other auto insurre. That's
your best buy. Why not call your nationwide agent today?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
He's in the Yellow pages. Your Now back to Boston Bleckie.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Arthur Burke suffered and attack of amnesia and woke up
beside the dead body of George Dickbe, believing he may
have killed Dickbe. He comes to Boston Bleckie for philp
and is there when a call comes in from Jennifer
Carey offering to.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Name Digby's murderer.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Before going to see her, Blackie is forced to visit
Tom Roache, the gambling house operator who wanted to Digby
out of the way and whom Paraday suspects, but who
denies his guilt and offers Blackie ten thousand dollars to
find the guilty. Park Blackie and Paraday go to Janet
Carry's hotel room and arrive in time to hear a
terrific struggle going on inside. When they finally succeed in entering,
(13:24):
they find her still warm body, victim of a murderous strangler.
Blackie and Paraday are still in the hotel room as
we return to our store. Cannot that telephone?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Black You?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I want our report this murder in this second, Paraday,
I gotta check my theory past.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Well, now let me at that fall not yet made.
One calls Arthur Berke. He wasn't home. Who's Arthur Burke?
That was the name for Janet was trying to say
when she was strangled?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well, where can I find a guy? She said? He
was Digby's murder, didn't she?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yes? She said that all the same. Hey, get me
talk from six nine seven six seven places?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
And who is that?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Your friends Tom Roach? He lives on the other side
of town. Janet Carry was killed only a few minutes ago,
and I want to see if he's home.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
What for this Carry girl said out that Burke was
strangling it. What are you calling Roach for?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Just checking Roach's home? At least I'll be sure it
was he who killed the girl a few minutes ago. Tom, there,
plaky recknet. You boys can't good anything?
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Hey, what do you want?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
No, No, it's a it's nothing, Tom, never mind this call.
I'll talk to you later. Come mine. Well that's that.
It wasn't roach. He couldn't kill Janet carry and made
it back to his apartment. This plays.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Now I've got to try and locate Burke. I left
him with Mary at my apartment.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Surely he left him there, but he won't be there now.
Speaker 1 (14:47):

but any complicated when I got to work on.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
It, me tells that to as if that wasn't what
I always say.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Hope you expect this.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So we're an agreement on something which are cause automatically
makes me wrong. Oh, Mary, this is Blackie. Is Arthur
Burke still in my apartment?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
No, he isn't Blackie.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
That's shortly after you did you?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
You didn't want me to hold of you, did you?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Well? Yes I I did, But it's too late now, Mary,
Look to stay there with you. I'll be back.
Speaker 7 (15:12):

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Where do I grab Burke?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
There's something to you about this whole thing inspected, and
I don't know what it is. I'm wanna talk this
thing out with Mary. After that I deliver Burke to
you personally.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Why talk it over with Mary?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
What does she know about this?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Nothing that I haven't told you?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Only there's something wrong somewhere and Mary can spot anything
phony if it's a mile away, or.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
She can well tell me something in Blackie, what's she
doing with you?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Walk out with Blacky? No thanks, Mary, but I really
want is more information?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
You don't mind a part of put tip. Somebody has
to indicate the coffee on makes good.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He never told me Mary. I don't think Berts.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Guilty doing from what you told me. It's got to
be the one who killed Digbie.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Maybe. But where does the murdered girl come in? Where
does she fit?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Well? What's her name?
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Jackie, Janet Carry, Janet Kirt, Janet carriy.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Oh, she's the girl who calls you on the telephone
this morning, the girl with a sullen accent.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
He's right, mm, because it doesn't help his case. I
mean with it's right.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
I can tell you something that might help something. You
know yourself.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
If you read the Gossips columns. Janet Terry used to
be Tom Roach's sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Oh that is improve Hey, Mary, sure sure, I'm sure.
Wait a minute. Thing.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
When she said she killed Digby, she was to throw
off anybody who might have been listening.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Oh, we had Lackie keep going.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
She was Roach's girl. She knew he murdered Digby. She
was sore at him for throwing her over, so she
decided to tell me what she knew. Roach figured that
out when I called her from his apartment, went over
there with a place in Kildren.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Ye.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Yes, But while she was being murdered and outside the door,
she kept screaming it was Arthur birth.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Hey. How does the scream sound of the Southern act?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Mary? Mary? Here a kingius. You're wonderful. I love you
dearly madly, I reasonably. Only I haven't time for that now.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh, I've got to make a call, and you're going
to locate Burke and bring him to Tom Roach's apartment.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Oh, I'll try to get birth there.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
But don't forget that roach was in his apartment two
or three minutes after you found Jane's body.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Now, he couldn't have killed her and gotten home so quickly.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I didn't say he did, did I, Doctor Martin? As
a general rule, does amnesia come and go often?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I mean, no, black ear, I wouldn't say that. What
gets a person out of it?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
In most cases many things you can do at the
sight of something familiar. We'll bring back one definite focal point,
and normalcy can be developed from that.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
In extreme cases, getting a bumped.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
On the head might do it. As an Arthur Burke's case,
for instance, Yes, sir, I would say that, is there
a chance his amnesia was faked?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Doctor, or to tell you the truth, Yes, after all,
I didn't have the opportunity of examining and in that condition.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
And now one more question, doctor, if you don't mind,
what was Arthur's profession?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
He was an attorney John Dick Piano laws h. I
think I'm.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Getting somewhere, are you blacking? Where to the bottom of
everything about this case? It's the funny thing about murder case,
is doctor Martin, You've got to get to the bottom
of them.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
If you're going to come out on top you know
the white driver?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yes, s if I ever get clear to stop top
traffic that goes a lot of red light.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I'm sorry. This cab is octupied.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
It is for you and me.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Blakey, Wow, Charlie, my boy Tom roaches a little benchman.
How are henches these days?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
This guy's changed his mind about where he was going.
He wants to be driven to five fifty Lincoln Road. Yeah,
that's funny, that's ye. She can't me when he cut in. Well,
all we can do is sit here and wait till
(19:11):
Charlie brings his black ear.
Speaker 2 (19:12):

Speaker 7 (19:14):
That's right?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Top?
Speaker 7 (19:15):

gonna knock him up?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Okay, and you can stay and watch the fun if
you like.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
You can't make him square him, I'd like to work.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Hey, what's the idea of turning out the big light?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Well?
Speaker 7 (19:39):
What?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I get it?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Maybe you don't want any more hurt blackies cracks? Huh
big lights?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Alright, hops, what is it?
Speaker 2 (19:48):

Speaker 3 (19:48):

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Of course? Go on, black hey said, show him in?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
That shove about Tom? Here a blondie, that's all Charlie. Okay,
get down, Blackie, okay, And I went there. Sit in
an easy chair in front of me.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Get up, Peggy, it's a pleasure.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Ah, I must be older than I feel. Young lady
gives me a chair, Oh Peggy. The words young and
lady were used without too much regard for their literal meaning.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Tom is he insulling me again?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Kay?
Speaker 5 (20:20):
If you don't know what's the different, can't you shut
this guy up?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Popsy? Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Popsy?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Now? Is it?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Get tired of Tommy boy? Blondie.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
I've got a name, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I know only you might object to my using it.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Okay, Blackie, skip that dog?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
What about Barday Paraday?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oh he should be here any minutes. He'll be trailing
my friend Mary Wesley and she's going to pick up
off a birk and meet me right here with him.
Arthur Burke Oozy Paraday is new number one suspect and
bag the's murdered Tom.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
I don't trust this guy. He talks too fast and
too easy.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Stop crowning, Peggy. That brings on wrinkles, you know, and
there isn't much room on your face for.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
A new one.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Tom, I'm getting tired of getting tired here.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You know that's the first sign of age. How many
years ago did you start to feel it.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I'm going to do something about this guy right now.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Okay, nobody moves, and that means nobody. Get in here, buddy,
Oh like him?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Welcome, Inspector Paraday. So you followed Mary and author Burke?
Did you? Good? Old reliable parody never disappoints me.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
I'm so sorry. I didn't know that, right Mary?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Where'd you find Burke? But I was old?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Was there any reason why I shouldn't have been?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I don't know. Maybe we'll all see in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I'm not wasting that much time. I got Burke now,
and I'm taking them with me.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You've got Burke, inspector, but no case. Stick around a
minute and I'll build one for you. I'm gonna tell
the story of two murders. So listen, Burke, give me
you ol buddy first, to show everybody what happened the
night Digbee was killed. You had amnesia, you said, I
suppose you might have had it under its influence you
(21:53):
got a job in Digbe's office. After all, he was
a lawyer, so were you. So that's not unreasonable.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Sure it isn't he got the job so he could
wait his chance and murder him.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Is that why inspect it? Well?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Maybe all I know is that you worked late at
night the knight Digby was murdered, that you walked into
his private office just before he was killed, and you
got hit on the head.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Is that right, Burke?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
He hit himself on the head.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You mean so he could have an alibi?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Is that what I mean? Inspect him?
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Anyhow, Burke, when you woke up the next morning, the
amnesia attack was over, and you found yourself with a
gun and a corpse, either of what you wanted.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Could I have killed Dibby?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yes, but you didn't, and you didn't kill Janet carry either.
Tom Roach killed them both.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
That's very funny, Blackie, very funny.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Why did I kill them?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Normal reasons?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Digby was going to close up your gambling joint. Janet
Carey used to be your girl, and she knew you
murdered Digby and was ready to talk.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
What could be simpler than that?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
And he planted this guy Burke's amnesia. What's the matter
with you, Blackie?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
That was pure accident, But Roach had sense enough to
take advantage of it. He had burke Trail the following morning,
found out about the amnesia, and then said, I.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Had to capitalize on wonderful, Blackie. Wonderful Only How could
Roach here murder Janet Carrey while we were outside our
hotel door and be back in his apartment so you
could talk to him on the telephone five minutes later?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
He couldn't.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
We didn't hear Janet Carrey struggling when we were outside
the door, Paraday. It was this blonde young lady, Peggy
and Charlie Roach, his stooge, doing some phony play acting
while Janet lay dead on the floor.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Roach had killed her an hour before. This isn't funny, Blackie.
You can't prove that or anything else. Oh but I can.
Let me tell you something, Janet Carrey in a sudden accent,
a broad one.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Peggy forgot about that when she kept calling to me
for help from behind the door. Haggy, darling, you forgot
to add the mules. That wasn't being very smart.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
You're not being very smarty. They're Blakie. You forgot your
usual lap time. What's the matter here? It is now
a don't let.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Anybody make a move, showing your hand. Finally a roach
and with a gun at it.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Come on, Beggy, we're getting out the back door.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
Tom Blackie, the last shot your fool.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
You to a chair.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Did you get into him? Did you? No?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
He didn't, Blondie, I wasn't in a chair, and the
flash of his gun told me where he was.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So he was the sucker from my chair. Put the
light on Friday switches over at the door.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
How do you find the door? And a joint as
dark as it take?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Blondie with the inspector, anybody as lightheaded as she is
will blaze a trailer than you could follow.
Do something an.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
You.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Well, I said, there's nothing seriously wrong with you, nothing
wrong that little writs won't cure.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Oh oh, that's relieved, thanks, doctor.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Must feel pretty good to be home again.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Pretty good.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
It's hardly strong enough, say, doctor Martin.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Is there any chance of me another attack of amnesia
creeping up on me when I'm not looking?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I doubt it. You have no idea where you've been
for the last three weeks?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
No, No, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
All I know is I woke up this morning in
a strange office with a lump on my head, and
I desire to get back home as cull as I could.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And I've got to go now.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
But I wish you'd realize that no point worrying about
the past three weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
They're a blank. Let him stay that way.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
By other Please remember what I said about relaxing.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I'll try, doctor Murdy.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Goodbye.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
I've got to find out I forgot.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Oh wow, Oh is this sports blakey?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yes, well, Mickie, this is Arthur Burke. You've helped a
lot of people.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
But never anyone. It's desperate as I am.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
What's the trouble back?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
You've seen the papers this morning with a story of
the murder of George Digby.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yes, of course Parody is probably up to his trying
to find the murderer.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Right now, Well, I I'd like to come over and
talk to you right here. You see, I I think
I'm the one party is looking for. It's ommer money gone. Yes,

extra your own international credit card, good for cash wherever

Blackie's enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend
to those who have no friends.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You know as much about Assigno Mary, I've told you
all off the brick told me on the phone.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Oh Blackie, why do you a would get involved in
things at least trouble?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Oh, there are lots of reasons Mary. But the best
one of all.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Is because I want to I guess you'll never change
for you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That should make you happy. It means I still feel
the same way about you.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
You know, one of these days I'm gonna find out
what way that is.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Oh, that's probably out of brig that's a match. Wanna
wait in the other room, Mary, get your magazine?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Oh no, little father, I'd rather say, why read about
it that you're winnington.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Oh? Thank You've heard of George Gibbey.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I guess everybody has. He had a reform group that
was really getting some action in this time.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yes, well, he was murdered in his office sometime last night.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So the papers say, well, could he have.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Been shot with a thirty eighth automatic?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
He not only could have been, he was Oh.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Could he have been a shot with this study eight automatic?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Where'd you get at that? Gun Brick.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I picked it up.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
At George Digbe's office.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
It was lying near his body.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
What were you doing in big Bee's office?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I haven't the slightest idea.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
I I don't like to interrupt, but how can I be?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I can't account for anything I've done for three weeks,
I'd had an lesia.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
What brought you out of it?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Well, I I guess the bump on my head. Somebody
left with me as a superhero.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
All I know is when I woke up, I had
it and I was in bg Bee's office.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I see. But listen, Burke, why I come to me?
Why don't you go to the police?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
How can I?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I wanna make sure I did kill dig beeto prefectly,
but I didn't before I turned myself in.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Oh, that's understandable. And you want me to find out
exactly what happened?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yes, yes to do.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
I'll get a plantice?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Sure if you like?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Mar Oa.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Hello, I'd like.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
To speak to Boston Black. You tease, Oh, just a
minute blagy' for you?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
He excuse me? And what what do you bake? I'll
say for many who?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah, hello Boston Black?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yes, how would you like to know who.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Killed George D.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Be Well, how would you like to tell me?
Speaker 6 (04:59):
No, wait here in my apartment at the Ocean's Hotel.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
What's your name? Honey child?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
Janet j and ill.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Name Digbie's murderer for you when you're gett here.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Okay, only it's only fair to tell you that. In
mystery stories, when a witness asks somebody to come to
her apartment so she can name the killer, she invariably
turns up dead.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Well, I'm not worried.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Well, uh, how.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
About just a hint, just in case this mystery runs
through the poem?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You wanna hit? All right?
Speaker 7 (05:28):
How about if I told you that I killed Dingie.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Hi, Matthews, expect the fired? Am I to you?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Blackie?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
I ain't sure.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Sergeant Matthews, kindly convey my compliments to inspect the fired?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Ann say I would like an audience. Oh, I say
you should go to a theater. Auder it blanky Boston, Blakie.
He he wants to see you. Oh he is? What
are you waiting for him?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
In trauma?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yes, sir Blackie, I gotta throw you out. I'll go myself.
This is the door of the street, isn't hey?
Speaker 7 (06:06):
No?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
That leads to the inspectors office.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I have such an awful sense of direction. Hello, inspector,
what are you inspecting?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Black you'd be a good boy and say goodbye. I've
had enough trouble for one day.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
That's why I'm here Paraday to lighten the burden you bear.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
So great, I beat it, Blackie. Unless you know something
about the Digby.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Murder, nothing very much. Only who killed him.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I know who killed him, a guy named Tom Roach.
Digby was just about to close that cabareine gambling joint.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Of broaches pulling. Why not arrestless Tom Roach.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And get left out of court. Juries don't want to
know what I know. They only care about what I
can prove.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Well.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I just dropped in to tell you that I'll deliver
your approof tonight.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Is there anything else you'd rather hear?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah? You saying goodbye. Take the door that leads right
to the street. You'll get the police station a bad
name if people see you walking through that door there.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Thanks, You must use the back door when you come
see me too. It started to rain, Inspector.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
You know something.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You're the only man living who can stay indoors in
this weather and still be all wet.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
It's I see that father whislim when I was care blankly.
We get a private care for we chauffeur with footman
in the bodyguard.
Speaker 5 (07:14):

Speaker 7 (07:19):
Ooh?

We gotta see that nobody hates you unless it happens
to be.
Speaker 2 (07:23):

He's trying to put the Digbe murder on me. He's
pretty sure you did it. You know something, black man,
I'm just too sure I didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That was pretty good.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Ap you do everything one to play Tommy boy.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, Tommy Boy doesn't mind. But Tommy Boy, please tell
me why I'm here. Sure, sure, I'm going to give
you ten thousand dollars to see that I don't get
tagged with a bum rap.

Death like he something tells me I know too little
about this case.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yes, Inspector, you knew too little and I was too late.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Did you know that your best buy in car insurance
is nationwide? Yes? Their nationwide Mutual Insurance of Columbus, Ohio
offers fair raids and claim service that second to none.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
For example, for half of all.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Nationwide auto claims are paid with twenty four hours after
noticeing loss. In addition, nationwise coverage is about the broadest
in the industry.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Just a few of the reasons.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Why over two and a quarter million satisfied drivers Insure
was nationwide. Compare nationwide with any other auto insurre. That's
your best buy. Why not call your nationwide agent today?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
He's in the Yellow pages. Your Now back to Boston Bleckie.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Arthur Burke suffered and attack of amnesia and woke up
beside the dead body of George Dickbe, believing he may
have killed Dickbe. He comes to Boston Bleckie for philp
and is there when a call comes in from Jennifer
Carey offering to.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Name Digby's murderer.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Before going to see her, Blackie is forced to visit
Tom Roache, the gambling house operator who wanted to Digby
out of the way and whom Paraday suspects, but who
denies his guilt and offers Blackie ten thousand dollars to
find the guilty. Park Blackie and Paraday go to Janet
Carry's hotel room and arrive in time to hear a
terrific struggle going on inside. When they finally succeed in entering,
(13:24):
they find her still warm body, victim of a murderous strangler.
Blackie and Paraday are still in the hotel room as
we return to our store. Cannot that telephone?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Black You?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I want our report this murder in this second, Paraday,
I gotta check my theory past.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Well, now let me at that fall not yet made.
One calls Arthur Berke. He wasn't home. Who's Arthur Burke?
That was the name for Janet was trying to say
when she was strangled?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well, where can I find a guy? She said? He
was Digby's murder, didn't she?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yes? She said that all the same. Hey, get me
talk from six nine seven six seven places?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
And who is that?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Your friends Tom Roach? He lives on the other side
of town. Janet Carry was killed only a few minutes ago,
and I want to see if he's home.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
What for this Carry girl said out that Burke was
strangling it. What are you calling Roach for?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Just checking Roach's home? At least I'll be sure it
was he who killed the girl a few minutes ago. Tom, there,
plaky recknet. You boys can't good anything?
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Hey, what do you want?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
No, No, it's a it's nothing, Tom, never mind this call.
I'll talk to you later. Come mine. Well that's that.
It wasn't roach. He couldn't kill Janet carry and made
it back to his apartment. This plays.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Now I've got to try and locate Burke. I left
him with Mary at my apartment.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Surely he left him there, but he won't be there now.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Sky On nine four four sixty seven. I'm sure I have,
but any complicated when I got to work on.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
It, me tells that to as if that wasn't what
I always say.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Hope you expect this.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So we're an agreement on something which are cause automatically
makes me wrong. Oh, Mary, this is Blackie. Is Arthur
Burke still in my apartment?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
No, he isn't Blackie.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
That's shortly after you did you?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
You didn't want me to hold of you, did you?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Well? Yes I I did, But it's too late now, Mary,
Look to stay there with you. I'll be back.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
I'll be here. Good Bye.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
It's not there. Huh, Okay, I'm gonna pick him up
right now unless he's beat it out of town? And
where did he live?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Howa day? I'm not gonna tell you.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Uh stop the clouding, Blackie?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Where do I grab Burke?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
There's something to you about this whole thing inspected, and
I don't know what it is. I'm wanna talk this
thing out with Mary. After that I deliver Burke to
you personally.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Why talk it over with Mary?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
What does she know about this?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Nothing that I haven't told you?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Only there's something wrong somewhere and Mary can spot anything
phony if it's a mile away, or.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
She can well tell me something in Blackie, what's she
doing with you?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Walk out with Blacky? No thanks, Mary, but I really
want is more information?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
You don't mind a part of put tip. Somebody has
to indicate the coffee on makes good.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He never told me Mary. I don't think Berts.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Guilty doing from what you told me. It's got to
be the one who killed Digbie.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Maybe. But where does the murdered girl come in? Where
does she fit?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Well? What's her name?
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Jackie, Janet Carry, Janet Kirt, Janet carriy.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Oh, she's the girl who calls you on the telephone
this morning, the girl with a sullen accent.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
He's right, mm, because it doesn't help his case. I
mean with it's right.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
I can tell you something that might help something. You
know yourself.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
If you read the Gossips columns. Janet Terry used to
be Tom Roach's sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Oh that is improve Hey, Mary, sure sure, I'm sure.
Wait a minute. Thing.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
When she said she killed Digby, she was to throw
off anybody who might have been listening.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Oh, we had Lackie keep going.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
She was Roach's girl. She knew he murdered Digby. She
was sore at him for throwing her over, so she
decided to tell me what she knew. Roach figured that
out when I called her from his apartment, went over
there with a place in Kildren.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Ye.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Yes, But while she was being murdered and outside the door,
she kept screaming it was Arthur birth.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Hey. How does the scream sound of the Southern act?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Mary? Mary? Here a kingius. You're wonderful. I love you
dearly madly, I reasonably. Only I haven't time for that now.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh, I've got to make a call, and you're going
to locate Burke and bring him to Tom Roach's apartment.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Oh, I'll try to get birth there.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
But don't forget that roach was in his apartment two
or three minutes after you found Jane's body.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
Now, he couldn't have killed her and gotten home so quickly.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I didn't say he did, did I, Doctor Martin? As
a general rule, does amnesia come and go often?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I mean, no, black ear, I wouldn't say that. What
gets a person out of it?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
In most cases many things you can do at the
sight of something familiar. We'll bring back one definite focal point,
and normalcy can be developed from that.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
In extreme cases, getting a bumped.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
On the head might do it. As an Arthur Burke's case,
for instance, Yes, sir, I would say that, is there
a chance his amnesia was faked?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Doctor, or to tell you the truth, Yes, after all,
I didn't have the opportunity of examining and in that condition.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
And now one more question, doctor, if you don't mind,
what was Arthur's profession?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
He was an attorney John Dick Piano laws h. I
think I'm.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Getting somewhere, are you blacking? Where to the bottom of
everything about this case? It's the funny thing about murder case,
is doctor Martin, You've got to get to the bottom
of them.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
If you're going to come out on top you know
the white driver?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yes, s if I ever get clear to stop top
traffic that goes a lot of red light.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I'm sorry. This cab is octupied.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
It is for you and me.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Blakey, Wow, Charlie, my boy Tom roaches a little benchman.
How are henches these days?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
This guy's changed his mind about where he was going.
He wants to be driven to five fifty Lincoln Road. Yeah,
that's funny, that's ye. She can't me when he cut in. Well,
all we can do is sit here and wait till
(19:11):
Charlie brings his black ear.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Isn't that right?
Speaker 7 (19:14):
That's right?

you like.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
You can't make him square him, I'd like to work.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Hey, what's the idea of turning out the big light?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Well?
Speaker 7 (19:39):
What?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:39):

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Maybe you don't want any more hurt blackies cracks? Huh

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Alright, hops, what is it?

get down, Blackie, okay, And I went there. Sit in
an easy chair in front of me.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Get up, Peggy, it's a pleasure.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Ah, I must be older than I feel. Young lady
gives me a chair, Oh Peggy. The words young and
lady were used without too much regard for their literal meaning.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Tom is he insulling me again?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Kay?
Speaker 5 (20:20):
If you don't know what's the different, can't you shut
this guy up?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Popsy? Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Popsy?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Now? Is it?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Get tired of Tommy boy? Blondie.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
I've got a name, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I know only you might object to my using it.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Okay, Blackie, skip that dog?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
What about Barday Paraday?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oh he should be here any minutes. He'll be trailing
my friend Mary Wesley and she's going to pick up
off a birk and meet me right here with him.
Arthur Burke Oozy Paraday is new number one suspect and
bag the's murdered Tom.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
I don't trust this guy. He talks too fast and
too easy.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Stop crowning, Peggy. That brings on wrinkles, you know, and
there isn't much room on your face for.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
A new one.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Tom, I'm getting tired of getting tired here.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You know that's the first sign of age. How many
years ago did you start to feel it.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I'm going to do something about this guy right now.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Okay, nobody moves, and that means nobody. Get in here, buddy,
Oh like him?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Welcome, Inspector Paraday. So you followed Mary and author Burke?
Did you? Good? Old reliable parody never disappoints me.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
I'm so sorry. I didn't know that, right Mary?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Where'd you find Burke? But I was old?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Was there any reason why I shouldn't have been?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I don't know. Maybe we'll all see in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I'm not wasting that much time. I got Burke now,
and I'm taking them with me.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You've got Burke, inspector, but no case. Stick around a
minute and I'll build one for you. I'm gonna tell
the story of two murders. So listen, Burke, give me
you ol buddy first, to show everybody what happened the
night Digbee was killed. You had amnesia, you said, I
suppose you might have had it under its influence you
(21:53):
got a job in Digbe's office. After all, he was
a lawyer, so were you. So that's not unreasonable.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Sure it isn't he got the job so he could
wait his chance and murder him.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Is that why inspect it? Well?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Maybe all I know is that you worked late at
night the knight Digby was murdered, that you walked into
his private office just before he was killed, and you
got hit on the head.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Is that right, Burke?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
He hit himself on the head.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You mean so he could have an alibi?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Is that what I mean? Inspect him?
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Anyhow, Burke, when you woke up the next morning, the
amnesia attack was over, and you found yourself with a
gun and a corpse, either of what you wanted.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Could I have killed Dibby?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yes, but you didn't, and you didn't kill Janet carry either.
Tom Roach killed them both.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
That's very funny, Blackie, very funny.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Why did I kill them?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Normal reasons?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Digby was going to close up your gambling joint. Janet
Carey used to be your girl, and she knew you
murdered Digby and was ready to talk.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
What could be simpler than that?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
And he planted this guy Burke's amnesia. What's the matter
with you, Blackie?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
That was pure accident, But Roach had sense enough to
take advantage of it. He had burke Trail the following morning,
found out about the amnesia, and then said, I.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Had to capitalize on wonderful, Blackie. Wonderful Only How could
Roach here murder Janet Carrey while we were outside our
hotel door and be back in his apartment so you
could talk to him on the telephone five minutes later?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
He couldn't.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
We didn't hear Janet Carrey struggling when we were outside
the door, Paraday. It was this blonde young lady, Peggy
and Charlie Roach, his stooge, doing some phony play acting
while Janet lay dead on the floor.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Roach had killed her an hour before. This isn't funny, Blackie.
You can't prove that or anything else. Oh but I can.
Let me tell you something, Janet Carrey in a sudden accent,
a broad one.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Peggy forgot about that when she kept calling to me
for help from behind the door. Haggy, darling, you forgot
to add the mules. That wasn't being very smart.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
You're not being very smarty. They're Blakie. You forgot your
usual lap time. What's the matter here? It is now
a don't let.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Anybody make a move, showing your hand. Finally a roach
and with a gun at it.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Come on, Beggy, we're getting out the back door.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
Tom Blackie, the last shot your fool.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
You to a chair.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Did you get into him? Did you? No?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
He didn't, Blondie, I wasn't in a chair, and the
flash of his gun told me where he was.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So he was the sucker from my chair. Put the
light on Friday switches over at the door.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
How do you find the door? And a joint as
dark as it take?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Blondie with the inspector, anybody as lightheaded as she is
will blaze a trailer than you could follow.
