Completely marry, we're here. Here comes Lee Chile's son.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Good easy, good, easy good, Hello, George.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Where is everybody?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's the most strange thing. Everybody is late tonight, with

Oh we're always on time for your food or thank you?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Miss Wesley are most where's your there?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
George? Don't tell me he's a cook tonight?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
No, and he is most unusual, mister Blackie. I have
not seen my father all afternoon.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
It's funny, most peculiar.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
He's always here six when I come to work. When
I arrive this evening, only the cook is here. But
you did not come to share my troubles, only my food.
You will want your usual booth of course.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Number three, that's the one you reserved for us.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I hope it does not seem like Tuesday night. If
you're not in booth number three with Miss Wesley, well
it'll be his last Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
If he's in booth three with a girl who is
Miss West, I will draw the curtains for you.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Thank you, Blackie stuck.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
On the floor, I see it, Mary, it's George.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
That's it's my father.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I guess you'd better close up shop to night church.
Your father's.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Is everything just the way it was by, just as
it was Friday. You didn't touch anything, only the body.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Friday it was dead and the telephone to call you up.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
You know the dead man.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yes, he's lead now here on the place.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
He doesn't know anything anymore, George.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I guess this place will go to you now, owners.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yes, it will. My father's only living son.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
What happened to the others? Child?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
There was only one other who was a member of
Armed forces of the United States. He's killed him.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Germany.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
It's too bad.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Sorry to hear that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Who do you think could have killed your father, Georges, I.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Mean who was his enemy?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
My father had many friends with no enemies.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Then I guess we'll have to see his friends about this.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
You're not seeing anybody, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
But you're going to let me help you on this,
aren't you parody? After all? I found the body.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
That's why I'm taking over from here.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Oh now, parody, don't tell me this is gonna be
that old routine again. You're not trying to say that
just because I found a body on the kill.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, but you're coming to headquarters as a material witness.
I think I know who my killer is. You're looking
at me, inspect of Faraday. Sure, I look at everything
when I'm in a murder case. The restaurant was empty
when Blackie came in here. Why all tables in boots
are reserved. All parties are late, with the exception of
mister Blackie and miss Wesley.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Okay, ch'am.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I want you at headquarters for questioning. But I think
you're in the clear. Then I'm your chief, suspect. I
don't be so conceited, Blackie. You're not my chief anything
except nuisance. It is permitted to answer the telephone, Inspector.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Yeah, go ahead, Chiles, thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Dee, Charles, good evening.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh it's Boston, Blackie there.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yes, one moment. Please, it's a call for mister Blackie.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Blis George? Probably Mary?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Answer that by what's the matter?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Apparently?
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Just wait, George? Does that phone have an extension?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Here's an inspector on the reservation desk over there.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Thanks. All right, Blacky, you can take that call.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
But not till I say I'm ready, aren't you clever Faraday?
What are you gonna do? Is hear Mary say she's
worried about me?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
But I'm listening in just in case she says something else. Okay, Lecky,
you can take a phone from.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
George though, Thank you, teacher.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Here's Disneter Blakie.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Thanks George. Hello, oh Blackie, Yes, this is a friend. Hello, friend,
what's friendly?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Thanks Blackie? Thanks a lot?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Thanks for what for the job you did? Hey, listen,
what's the idea?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
What great job, Blackie? None of the game could have
done it better?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Hey, now wait a minute? Hello?
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Hello? Hello? Is right?
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Blanky? I think you and I are gonna say hello
to headquarters, but I receive it down now listen.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Sorry, I know what you're thinking, but I know what
you're gonna say.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Blanky. You're being framed.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Isn't it obvious that I am.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
You'll look good in a frame blanking, but you're gonna
look better on a self.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Come on, No, I'm sorry, this is the Smith Rogers
Publishing Company. You must have the wrong number. Yes, now
you were seeing Rogers and I'm a little up stick. Smith.
Aren't we leading our publication an awfully long time? Yes?
(07:56):
We are, But you yourself know how difficult it is
to get paper. Yes, I know. I haven't as yet
been able to make a suitable contract with the printing house.
But we must, Smith, and soon we will write is
we will. But we have to do this thing right
if we expect to make a reasonable profit out of it.
I'm not interested in the money I'll make on this, Smith,
and you know it didn't use my name because you said.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
It would help it.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I think our proposed book is a very worthwhile enterprise.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
It is.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It is worthwhile.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
But let me handle this my own way.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I agreed to that when you came to be with
the idea. But how soon will we be ready to publish? Well,
here's the situation as it now stands. There are probably
ten thousand families in the city who lost sons in
the war. Yes, yes, if half of them buy the
memorial ads in our book, then I'd say we were
almost ready to publish. And how many have purchased ads
(08:43):
for their sons so far? Only about eighteen hundred to day.
So you see, if our book is to be a
truly representative memorial to our war day, we must get
a few thousand more ads before we publish. I suppose
you write, we've postponed the publication date so many time.
Are we getting complaints from those who have already bought
(09:03):
ads for their sons. No, we aren't having much trouble
in that direction. One or two people have inquired as
to when we publish our book, but I've sent a
man to explained to them that. Excuse me, of course.
Come in, I am mister Smith. Oh we were, Come in,
I do what you told me to boys, Oh we were.
(09:24):
I don't think you've ever met my partner. N mister Rogers.
This is Weaver, one of our solicitors. How do you do?
And he's doing a good job too. I've done a
great job. A couple of hours ago, Smith, I took
care of lead child guide just like you told me. Yes,
that's fine, we took care of him. We were it
sounds as if you do business rather unfriendly with you.
(09:46):
Don't understand Rogers. Weaver has what the voice means, Rogers,
is I get what I want out of a guy.
I give him what's good for. We've been out of
it all.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
What's you matter?
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Boys?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
What are you saw for?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
You told me to kill a guy and I've done
just like you? Says I.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
You did what knocked the guy off? He was griping
so much to we work. Come outside with me a minute, okay, boss,
but what are you so killed the man? You killed? Smith?
I don't understand this. Don't get excited, Rogers. It isn't
what you think at all. I'll explain in just a minute.
You touch me well outside we her? Okay, I'll be
right with you, Rogerses, what's the matter? Just answer a
(10:21):
few questions?
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Did you kill Lee Child?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Sure? Boys?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
He was complaining about not seeing the book yet, wasn't he?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
What did you do?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
First I plunged the guy.
Speaker 9 (10:32):
Yes, then I cause if all the parties we got
reservations in the joint and cancels him. But I don't
call Bosston black He ain't cancel his So when Blackie
gets the child's he's the only one in the joint.
When he finds the body, the cops nab him for
bumping the guy.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Good work, Weaver.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Sure, then I called.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Blackie while the cops were still there.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Do you like what I'd done? I think you did
a great job killing Lee Child. It was a pleasure
I had done a good job. Oh boy, a great
job was there? You made only one mistake?
Speaker 9 (11:06):
Now what I do on you talk to in front
of rocher any your partner don't even know what they
can go from the subjects And we ain't never gonna
publish no book.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
No, he thinks we're on the level.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And he certainly had no idea till now that we
still kill anyone who got in our way.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Oh boy, he's done mein. He don't know nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
He didn't know anything until you told him everything. Oh
there was a mistaker, Yeah, but your last one, Weave?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
They bosch? Uh, what are you feeling? What they're gonna
use for?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I'm putting a silence around you, gonna knock off Rogers.
Huh kill Rocheres No, I'm going to kill you.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Uh now Rogers, where were we?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
And now back to Boston, Blackie, Blackie and Mary Wesley
have a reservation for dinner at Lee Chile's, but a
mysterious Carol Ward warns Blackie not to go to the
Chinese restaurant, so Blackie goes there. He finds the restaurant
(12:31):
empty and Lee Chow murdered. While Faraday is investigating, Blackie
receives a phone call congratulating him on a fine job. Meanwhile,
Lee Chile's real killer is himself shot and killed by
his boss.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
As we return to our story, the boss's partner, Rogers.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Is telling Carol Ward about the death of Blee Chow.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Lee Chow's killing, I just have to come up and
see you in as much as you work with Smith
and nmas Ward, even though I know it's terribly late
at night.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
That's all right, mister Rogers. I was awake when you called,
and I'm very glad.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You said you would see me because I I just
had to talk to someone and you're the only one
I feel I can trust. What's the matter, Miss Ward.
I'm certain you'll be as appalled by this as I was.
But mister Smith ordered one of our salesmen to kill
the client of ours who was complaining what yes, A
man named Bleachow was shot and killed by one of
our men, a fellow named.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Weaver, who either killed somebody?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Why it seems like this Lee Chow was complaining that
we were delaying the publication of our book too long.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I know we're that's a reason for the delay, But.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
We don't kill clients who complained, mister Rogers.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You are sure that we were killed, Lee Chow?
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
The worst of it is that Smith, my own business partner,
ordered this. We were to kill him. What and worship
miss Ward? I'm afraid Smith has now killed this fellow Weaver.
Oh good heaven, Bomas Ward. We we aren't in legitimate
enterprise dealing with businessmen. We're mixed up with a gang
of cutthroats and killers.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Well what do you think we ought to do?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
All the police? Of course?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Do you think it's safe? This manmth has killed two
people already, you'll think nothing of killing two more.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
We can get to the police at once, we'll be safe.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
It's I guess you're right. This didn't follow you here,
did he?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
No, I need sure no one followed me, and I'm
sure Smith doesn't suspeak for doing years.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Alright, Yes, you're right? Who works fast will be safe enough.
I call the police right now.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh goodness. Oh oh you know the number.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Oh it's on the front of the phone book here.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh oh yes, oh speaker Rogers Publishing Company.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
No, you have the wrong number.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yes, I I want the police department. This is Carol
Woard Cow. I'd like to speak to the man in charge.
Oh oh, you're in charge. Fine, to tell him everything
is worse, I will, mister Rogers.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Carol Rogers is up there before.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
It's about the murder of Lee Chow. I know who
killed him? Who told me? Did you say? Well, well
you can tell him.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's all right.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Mister Rogers told me all about it. He's here now.
He knows who kills Lee Chow, a man named Weaver.
And he knows that Weaver is dead too. A man
named Smith killed him. Yes, if we both come right down,
if you want us to, or would you rather come

Speaker 4 (15:35):
In a few minutes, you'll have nothing to worry about.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Look how much longer do I have to sit in
your office and look at that dumb face? Hey?
Speaker 7 (15:52):
Is you tell me what you know about Lee Chile's death?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Frankie, I told you.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
All I knew five minutes after we got here. I
don't know who killed him or why he was kid.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
Well, give me a good answer to just this one
question with you.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Why did you find a body because I was the
first one in the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I have said that before.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Well that's the truth, all right?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Answer this. Why did that friend call you up and
say you did a nice job to frame me?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Of course, find him Paraday and you'll find the clue
to Leach House killer.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, get out of here, Rollins. Can't you see I'm busy, Yes, Rowlins.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
He's busy as usual and getting nowhere as usual. Why
Ley you mean it? Inspects?
Speaker 7 (16:26):
I mean it fine.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I don't complain. When I won't talk, you'll talk.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
You'll ever get out of here, Rollins? Are you still
standing there?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yes, Inspector, and I think I have something you ought
to know about.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
All right, make it brief, missus.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Charles Rogers just caught up said her husband is missing.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
You interrupt me in the middle of a murder case to.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Tell me that.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Wait a minute, Inspector, I've got a complete description.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Of the guy and what he's wearing written down here.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Rollins.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
He was wearing a tan suit, tan snap brim hat,
brown top coat, brown shirt, and a red and brown
pope at that pie. I don't care if he was
wearing no tie or a rope around his neck. I'm
investigating a murder and you have the nerve to come
in here, and that's Prospector. Here's the thing that's important
this mister Rogers' wife says, when you last heard from me,
he was going up to see Boston. Blackie.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
What going up to see me?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah, to see you.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Blackie and his wife's are played. Something's happened to him.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well, nothing's happened to him. I haven't been in my
apartment all night. He's probably just up there waiting for me.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Come on, Blackie, we're going up to your apartment. We
don't want to have this missing guy missing any longer.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Paraday, What makes you think Rogers is still waiting for me?
Speaker 7 (17:32):
And I just have a hunch that's all. Come on,
let's go in Alreday.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
One of these days your hunches are gonna bend you
double after you mm hmmm.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
See I told you you'd still be here.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You know. I'm gonna sleep on my best couch too.
Wake up.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Shoot, that guy sleeps like a dead man, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Seems to me.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
He sleeps like a dead man because he is a
dead man. Look at that wond Well, this is one
you can't blame.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Ummy.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I've never seen this guy before, I heard hi him,
and I've been in your office most of the night.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yes, I know this guy hasn't been dead more than
a half hour, so I wonder if he's really the
missing man.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Looks as if he is to me Saturday, he answers
his wife description tan suit, tan snapper and hat, brown snapcoat,
brown's shirt.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
And green and brown Pogodott tie.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
Yeah it fits all right. I guess I have to
call missus.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Do you have Roger's description that Rowland's wrote down for you? Sure?
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Here top page on this pad.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Let me see it. Ye, the description fits.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
It's our col headquarters, and have missus Rogers.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
The description doesn't fit. Not quite?
Speaker 7 (18:43):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Not quite?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
According to the.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Rowlans note, Missus Rogers described her husband's tie as being
written brown polka dots.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Look at it, Pardy, it's green and brown polka dot.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
So what maybe missus Rogers is color blind?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Maybe?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
But someone I know is definitely color blind, Carol Ward Faraday.
When we found Roger's body here, I didn't think it
had any connection with Lee Charles's murder, but now I do.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And the connection is a girl named Carol Ward.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
Can you get the apartment to our open, lady.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yes, if you'll keep your back Turen while id you
need a lock? Don't want you to know any of
my secrets?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Alright?
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Are you sure this is Carroll Ward's apartment?
Speaker 8 (19:32):
Well?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
We found Roger's address and his wallet and Carol Ward's
telephone number on the desk.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Pat in his house your telephone cross file.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Say, Okay, I guess we got the right plady.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Thoughts as good as opened, Paraday. Now it is opening.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
They gotta to win and care for you. Someone might
be waiting for a sect.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
I ain't out of Paraday made enough noise, jimmyan the
lock to send anyone here out the window.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, I guess you didn't wonder where the light switch is?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I think I had a Hey, thanks to me and
mister Dison, we can see what we're doing. Yeah, what
are we doing waiting with the door open? Too? If
we better close it?
Speaker 8 (20:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Sure you know, Friday, I have a hunch Rogers was
killed in this apartment and then taking over the mine.
Yeah it makes you think, so, mister Hins, that's all.
Maybe if we look around it. Oh, somebody's coming. Let
me handle this high party.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I'll be behind these curtains.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Hello, hello, Missus Rogers, I love Las.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yes, what are you doing up? What did you call me?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Missus Rogers? You are Missus Rogers, aren't you.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I gave you that idea, I, Miss Carol Ward, you said.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You were Missus Rogers when you call the police.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I'm not Missus Rogers. I never called the police, and
I think you'd better get out of here before I
call 'em.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Now.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
I'll call 'em myself in a minute, miss Ward, to
arrest you for the matter of Charles Rogers kill.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Get out of here. I don't know anyone named Rogers.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
No, then, how did this blood get on this girt? Right?
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Famous Ward? A large blood stain shows very red against
the blue material of the time where I can't you
can't see it.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
This Ward because you're color blind.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
But I am not blind to colors or anything else.
I see it, and the police are going to see
it too.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Please, you've got to believe me. I didn't kill Rogers.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Smith, you Blue Smith, it's my boss.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
He killed Weaver too, That's why I had to kill Rogers.
Rogers is going to please to tell him about Smith?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
All right? Smith killed Rodgers. Who's this fellow Weaver?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
He killed Lee Child?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Why?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Smith told him too? To keep child from going to
the police. Smith's the one you want. I knew he
ordered child be killed. I know he killed Weaver. I
saw him kill Rogers. But I had nothing to do
with any of the death.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You're going to have a lot to do with Smith
dying in the electric chair. Where is he?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Where is he?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I don't know, But you told me this much.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Tell me the rest and the police may go easy
on you.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
I won't tell a police anything, Old Jim.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
No, And what can you do with what you just help,
Inspector Paraday. If the police remember your story, come out
from behind the curtain and take a bow.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Inspector Daddy Blackie, tell me a story, will you?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
All right? Harry?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Just sit on my knee like a good little girl. Oh, now,
what story would you like to hear tonight, free bears?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Oh no, I would like to hear the story about
the three murders all right.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Once upon a time.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
In fact, just a few hours ago, a big, dumb
but lovablek cop named Paraday made a bad little girl
named Carol Ward tell him where he could find a
very bad man named Smith.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Oh what Smith? Very very bad?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yes, yes, do Mary, He was very very bad.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
He was selling memorial eds to people who lost sons
in the war. He was promising them to publish these
ads in the book. But the awful bad mister Smith
was going to keep the people's money and never publish
the book.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Oh, Taddy, Blackie, he was gonna scramer the door.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Wasn't he daughter?
Speaker 5 (23:14):
So language, Yes, he was gonna scram the door. What
did he No, he didn't because a very handsome, brave, courageous,
and brilliant hung here on nam Boston Blackie caught him
before he could get away.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Oooh, ow, hero, was it exciting?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Very exciting, This handsome and brave and brilliant Boston black
He pulled a gun on the very bad mister Smith
and with a dumb but lovable company.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Paraday took him off to jail.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
How bad was mister Smith, very.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
He put a dead man's body in the handsome Boston
Blacky's apartment, and the very bad man had carol Ward
phoned the police to put the blame on Blackie, But
luckily Blackie and Paraday were together.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
When the call came in.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Gosh and the very.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Bad carol Ward first warned not to go to Leach House,
knowing that that would make him sure to go.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It seems this bad little.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Girl was very color blind, so later to make her confess,
Blackie said there was blood on her skirt, and because
she had a guilty conscience, she looked and.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Was there a bloodstain on the bad little girl's skirt?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
No, The handsome Boston Blackie was telling how white little kid.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Jesus gotch and God and what happened to the money
the very bad mister Smith took from me innocent people.

Every center of it is going back to them.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
And that's how the story ends.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Huh, yes, daughter, except that everybody lived happily ever after
except mister Smith and Carroll, and they aren't going to

Speaker 5 (01:39):
I was wrong about the reasons for what you're wearing.
But I'm sure I know why you want to talk
to me.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
You're in troubles wrong again, Lackie. I'm not in trouble.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
You are, as Boston Blackie, enemy to those who make
him an enemy, friend to those who have no friends.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Would you like to say that again, Miss Warden, I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Know why it needs repeating, Blackie. I simply said I'm
not in trouble.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
You are.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Look, you and your famous Wesley have a reservation for
dinner at Lee Charles Chinese Restaurant for tonight.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Haven't you three o'clock in our favorite foods? Number three?
Do you have to make a reservation of chas you
don't get in?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Don't go to Lee Charles tonight?
Speaker 1 (02:35):

But tonight Lee Child's menu includes trouble American style.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Maybe that Miss will One knew what she was talking about.
Let's not go in.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I'll tell you something, Mary.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Before Miss ward came to see me, I was thinking
of canceling our reservations here and taking you to Mcgoldriog's.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
For steak why didn't you.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I was going to until I was one not to
come to Lee Charles. Then I just had to come.
Let's go in.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I'm Blackie, Please, very please, Let's not worry about stupid things.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Let's go in and worry about our appetite. All right,

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Okay, Lady Spray, that's the first nice thing you've said to.
Speaker 3 (03:29):

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Oh, for goodness sake, place is empty, not.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Completely marry, we're here. Here comes Lee Chile's son.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Good easy, good, easy good, Hello, George.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Where is everybody?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's the most strange thing. Everybody is late tonight, with
the exception of you and Miss Wisley.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh we're always on time for your food or thank you?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Miss Wesley are most where's your there?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
George? Don't tell me he's a cook tonight?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
No, and he is most unusual, mister Blackie. I have
not seen my father all afternoon.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
It's funny, most peculiar.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
He's always here six when I come to work. When
I arrive this evening, only the cook is here. But
you did not come to share my troubles, only my food.
You will want your usual booth of course.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Number three, that's the one you reserved for us.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I hope it does not seem like Tuesday night. If
you're not in booth number three with Miss Wesley, well
it'll be his last Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
If he's in booth three with a girl who is
Miss West, I will draw the curtains for you.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Thank you, Blackie stuck.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
On the floor, I see it, Mary, it's George.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
That's it's my father.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I guess you'd better close up shop to night church.
Your father's.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Is everything just the way it was by, just as
it was Friday. You didn't touch anything, only the body.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Friday it was dead and the telephone to call you up.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
You know the dead man.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yes, he's lead now here on the place.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
He doesn't know anything anymore, George.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I guess this place will go to you now, owners.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yes, it will. My father's only living son.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
What happened to the others? Child?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
There was only one other who was a member of
Armed forces of the United States. He's killed him.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Germany.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
It's too bad.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Sorry to hear that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Who do you think could have killed your father, Georges, I.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Mean who was his enemy?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
My father had many friends with no enemies.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Then I guess we'll have to see his friends about this.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
You're not seeing anybody, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
But you're going to let me help you on this,
aren't you parody? After all? I found the body.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
That's why I'm taking over from here.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Oh now, parody, don't tell me this is gonna be
that old routine again. You're not trying to say that
just because I found a body on the kill.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, but you're coming to headquarters as a material witness.
I think I know who my killer is. You're looking
at me, inspect of Faraday. Sure, I look at everything
when I'm in a murder case. The restaurant was empty
when Blackie came in here. Why all tables in boots
are reserved. All parties are late, with the exception of
mister Blackie and miss Wesley.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Okay, ch'am.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I want you at headquarters for questioning. But I think
you're in the clear. Then I'm your chief, suspect. I
don't be so conceited, Blackie. You're not my chief anything
except nuisance. It is permitted to answer the telephone, Inspector.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Yeah, go ahead, Chiles, thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Dee, Charles, good evening.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh it's Boston, Blackie there.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yes, one moment. Please, it's a call for mister Blackie.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Blis George? Probably Mary?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Answer that by what's the matter?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Apparently?
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Just wait, George? Does that phone have an extension?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Here's an inspector on the reservation desk over there.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Thanks. All right, Blacky, you can take that call.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
But not till I say I'm ready, aren't you clever Faraday?
What are you gonna do? Is hear Mary say she's
worried about me?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
But I'm listening in just in case she says something else. Okay, Lecky,
you can take a phone from.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
George though, Thank you, teacher.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Here's Disneter Blakie.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Thanks George. Hello, oh Blackie, Yes, this is a friend. Hello, friend,
what's friendly?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Thanks Blackie? Thanks a lot?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Thanks for what for the job you did? Hey, listen,
what's the idea?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
What great job, Blackie? None of the game could have
done it better?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Hey, now wait a minute? Hello?
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Hello? Hello? Is right?
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Blanky? I think you and I are gonna say hello
to headquarters, but I receive it down now listen.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Sorry, I know what you're thinking, but I know what
you're gonna say.
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Blanky. You're being framed.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Isn't it obvious that I am.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
You'll look good in a frame blanking, but you're gonna
look better on a self.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Come on, No, I'm sorry, this is the Smith Rogers
Publishing Company. You must have the wrong number. Yes, now
you were seeing Rogers and I'm a little up stick. Smith.
Aren't we leading our publication an awfully long time? Yes?
(07:56):
We are, But you yourself know how difficult it is
to get paper. Yes, I know. I haven't as yet
been able to make a suitable contract with the printing house.
But we must, Smith, and soon we will write is
we will. But we have to do this thing right
if we expect to make a reasonable profit out of it.
I'm not interested in the money I'll make on this, Smith,
and you know it didn't use my name because you said.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
It would help it.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I think our proposed book is a very worthwhile enterprise.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
It is.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It is worthwhile.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
But let me handle this my own way.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I agreed to that when you came to be with
the idea. But how soon will we be ready to publish? Well,
here's the situation as it now stands. There are probably
ten thousand families in the city who lost sons in
the war. Yes, yes, if half of them buy the
memorial ads in our book, then I'd say we were
almost ready to publish. And how many have purchased ads
(08:43):
for their sons so far? Only about eighteen hundred to day.
So you see, if our book is to be a
truly representative memorial to our war day, we must get
a few thousand more ads before we publish. I suppose
you write, we've postponed the publication date so many time.
Are we getting complaints from those who have already bought
(09:03):
ads for their sons. No, we aren't having much trouble
in that direction. One or two people have inquired as
to when we publish our book, but I've sent a
man to explained to them that. Excuse me, of course.
Come in, I am mister Smith. Oh we were, Come in,
I do what you told me to boys, Oh we were.
(09:24):
I don't think you've ever met my partner. N mister Rogers.
This is Weaver, one of our solicitors. How do you do?
And he's doing a good job too. I've done a
great job. A couple of hours ago, Smith, I took
care of lead child guide just like you told me. Yes,
that's fine, we took care of him. We were it
sounds as if you do business rather unfriendly with you.
(09:46):
Don't understand Rogers. Weaver has what the voice means, Rogers,
is I get what I want out of a guy.
I give him what's good for. We've been out of
it all.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
What's you matter?
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Boys?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
What are you saw for?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
You told me to kill a guy and I've done
just like you? Says I.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
You did what knocked the guy off? He was griping
so much to we work. Come outside with me a minute, okay, boss,
but what are you so killed the man? You killed? Smith?
I don't understand this. Don't get excited, Rogers. It isn't
what you think at all. I'll explain in just a minute.
You touch me well outside we her? Okay, I'll be
right with you, Rogerses, what's the matter? Just answer a
(10:21):
few questions?
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Did you kill Lee Child?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Sure? Boys?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
He was complaining about not seeing the book yet, wasn't he?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
What did you do?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
First I plunged the guy.
Speaker 9 (10:32):
Yes, then I cause if all the parties we got
reservations in the joint and cancels him. But I don't
call Bosston black He ain't cancel his So when Blackie
gets the child's he's the only one in the joint.
When he finds the body, the cops nab him for
bumping the guy.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Good work, Weaver.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Sure, then I called.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Blackie while the cops were still there.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Do you like what I'd done? I think you did
a great job killing Lee Child. It was a pleasure
I had done a good job. Oh boy, a great
job was there? You made only one mistake?
Speaker 9 (11:06):
Now what I do on you talk to in front
of rocher any your partner don't even know what they
can go from the subjects And we ain't never gonna
publish no book.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
No, he thinks we're on the level.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And he certainly had no idea till now that we
still kill anyone who got in our way.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Oh boy, he's done mein. He don't know nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
He didn't know anything until you told him everything. Oh
there was a mistaker, Yeah, but your last one, Weave?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
They bosch? Uh, what are you feeling? What they're gonna
use for?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I'm putting a silence around you, gonna knock off Rogers.
Huh kill Rocheres No, I'm going to kill you.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Uh now Rogers, where were we?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
And now back to Boston, Blackie, Blackie and Mary Wesley
have a reservation for dinner at Lee Chile's, but a
mysterious Carol Ward warns Blackie not to go to the
Chinese restaurant, so Blackie goes there. He finds the restaurant
(12:31):
empty and Lee Chow murdered. While Faraday is investigating, Blackie
receives a phone call congratulating him on a fine job. Meanwhile,
Lee Chile's real killer is himself shot and killed by
his boss.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
As we return to our story, the boss's partner, Rogers.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Is telling Carol Ward about the death of Blee Chow.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Lee Chow's killing, I just have to come up and
see you in as much as you work with Smith
and nmas Ward, even though I know it's terribly late
at night.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
That's all right, mister Rogers. I was awake when you called,
and I'm very glad.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You said you would see me because I I just
had to talk to someone and you're the only one
I feel I can trust. What's the matter, Miss Ward.
I'm certain you'll be as appalled by this as I was.
But mister Smith ordered one of our salesmen to kill
the client of ours who was complaining what yes, A
man named Bleachow was shot and killed by one of
our men, a fellow named.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Weaver, who either killed somebody?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Why it seems like this Lee Chow was complaining that
we were delaying the publication of our book too long.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I know we're that's a reason for the delay, But.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
We don't kill clients who complained, mister Rogers.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You are sure that we were killed, Lee Chow?
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
The worst of it is that Smith, my own business partner,
ordered this. We were to kill him. What and worship
miss Ward? I'm afraid Smith has now killed this fellow Weaver.
Oh good heaven, Bomas Ward. We we aren't in legitimate
enterprise dealing with businessmen. We're mixed up with a gang
of cutthroats and killers.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Well what do you think we ought to do?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
All the police? Of course?
Speaker 4 (13:58):

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Look how much longer do I have to sit in
your office and look at that dumb face? Hey?
Speaker 7 (15:52):
Is you tell me what you know about Lee Chile's death?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Frankie, I told you.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
All I knew five minutes after we got here. I
don't know who killed him or why he was kid.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
Well, give me a good answer to just this one
question with you.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Why did you find a body because I was the
first one in the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I have said that before.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Well that's the truth, all right?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Answer this. Why did that friend call you up and
say you did a nice job to frame me?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Of course, find him Paraday and you'll find the clue
to Leach House killer.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, get out of here, Rollins. Can't you see I'm busy, Yes, Rowlins.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
He's busy as usual and getting nowhere as usual. Why
Ley you mean it? Inspects?
Speaker 7 (16:26):
I mean it fine.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I don't complain. When I won't talk, you'll talk.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
You'll ever get out of here, Rollins? Are you still
standing there?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yes, Inspector, and I think I have something you ought
to know about.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
All right, make it brief, missus.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Charles Rogers just caught up said her husband is missing.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
You interrupt me in the middle of a murder case to.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Tell me that.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Wait a minute, Inspector, I've got a complete description.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Of the guy and what he's wearing written down here.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Rollins.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
He was wearing a tan suit, tan snap brim hat,
brown top coat, brown shirt, and a red and brown
pope at that pie. I don't care if he was
wearing no tie or a rope around his neck. I'm
investigating a murder and you have the nerve to come
in here, and that's Prospector. Here's the thing that's important
this mister Rogers' wife says, when you last heard from me,
he was going up to see Boston. Blackie.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
What going up to see me?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah, to see you.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Blackie and his wife's are played. Something's happened to him.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well, nothing's happened to him. I haven't been in my
apartment all night. He's probably just up there waiting for me.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Come on, Blackie, we're going up to your apartment. We
don't want to have this missing guy missing any longer.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Paraday, What makes you think Rogers is still waiting for me?
Speaker 7 (17:32):
And I just have a hunch that's all. Come on,
let's go in Alreday.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
One of these days your hunches are gonna bend you
double after you mm hmmm.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
See I told you you'd still be here.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You know. I'm gonna sleep on my best couch too.
Wake up.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Shoot, that guy sleeps like a dead man, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Seems to me.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
He sleeps like a dead man because he is a
dead man. Look at that wond Well, this is one
you can't blame.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Ummy.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I've never seen this guy before, I heard hi him,
and I've been in your office most of the night.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yes, I know this guy hasn't been dead more than
a half hour, so I wonder if he's really the
missing man.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Looks as if he is to me Saturday, he answers
his wife description tan suit, tan snapper and hat, brown snapcoat,
brown's shirt.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
And green and brown Pogodott tie.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
Yeah it fits all right. I guess I have to
call missus.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Do you have Roger's description that Rowland's wrote down for you? Sure?
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Here top page on this pad.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Let me see it. Ye, the description fits.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
It's our col headquarters, and have missus Rogers.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
The description doesn't fit. Not quite?
Speaker 7 (18:43):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Not quite?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
According to the.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Rowlans note, Missus Rogers described her husband's tie as being
written brown polka dots.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Look at it, Pardy, it's green and brown polka dot.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
So what maybe missus Rogers is color blind?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Maybe?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
But someone I know is definitely color blind, Carol Ward Faraday.
When we found Roger's body here, I didn't think it
had any connection with Lee Charles's murder, but now I do.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And the connection is a girl named Carol Ward.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
Can you get the apartment to our open, lady.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yes, if you'll keep your back Turen while id you
need a lock? Don't want you to know any of
my secrets?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Alright?
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Are you sure this is Carroll Ward's apartment?
Speaker 8 (19:32):

Speaker 5 (19:32):
We found Roger's address and his wallet and Carol Ward's
telephone number on the desk.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Pat in his house your telephone cross file.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Say, Okay, I guess we got the right plady.

lock to send anyone here out the window.
Speaker 2 (19:55):

mister Dison, we can see what we're doing. Yeah, what
are we doing waiting with the door open? Too? If
we better close it?
Speaker 8 (20:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:10):

killed in this apartment and then taking over the mine.
Yeah it makes you think, so, mister Hins, that's all.
Maybe if we look around it. Oh, somebody's coming. Let
me handle this high party.
Speaker 7 (20:26):

Speaker 1 (20:48):
You were Missus Rogers when you call the police.
Speaker 4 (20:50):

I think you'd better get out of here before I
call 'em.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Now.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
I'll call 'em myself in a minute, miss Ward, to
arrest you for the matter of Charles Rogers kill.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Get out of here. I don't know anyone named Rogers.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
No, then, how did this blood get on this girt? Right?
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Famous Ward? A large blood stain shows very red against
the blue material of the time where I can't you
can't see it.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
This Ward because you're color blind.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
But I am not blind to colors or anything else.
I see it, and the police are going to see
it too.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Please, you've got to believe me. I didn't kill Rogers.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Smith, you Blue Smith, it's my boss.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
He killed Weaver too, That's why I had to kill Rogers.
Rogers is going to please to tell him about Smith?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
All right? Smith killed Rodgers. Who's this fellow Weaver?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
He killed Lee Child?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Why?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Smith told him too? To keep child from going to
the police. Smith's the one you want. I knew he
ordered child be killed. I know he killed Weaver. I
saw him kill Rogers. But I had nothing to do
with any of the death.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You're going to have a lot to do with Smith
dying in the electric chair. Where is he?

on you.

Inspector Paraday. If the police remember your story, come out
