Speaker 1 (00:00):
From Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
It's time now for Edmund O'Brien as Johnny.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Dolla, Missus French speaking. Who is?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (00:08):
I'm sorry for my exposed of greeting Missus French as
the habit I've gotten into is mister Dalla from the
insurance company.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh, yes, I received the message that you'd call, but
I don't think I understand you're.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Coming to Chicago.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Well, I guess they haven't got around to writing about it.
They sent me here to talk to you about your son,
I see, and then if we decide there are grounds
to be a fears about him, They've given me a
thoraday to go out to the Melee States and investigate
the situation.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Oh that's very nice of them. I am afraid for Edward.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I'll come out to see about one point thirty there,
Missus French.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Edmund O'Brien in a transcribed adventure of a Man with
the action packed expenser. Car America's populous free lance insurance investigator.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Is truly Johnny.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Dollar expense account submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dalla to
Home Office Tri State Insurance Group, Hartford, Connecticut. The following
is an accounting of expenditures. During my investigation of the
(01:13):
Edward French matter, expense account item won ninety five dollars
airfan incidentals between Hartford and Chicago, the home of Edward
French's mother.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
There the story went about his follows.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Edward French had led the States after the war and
gone to the Melee States, where he managed a tea plantation,
concentrating on sales to a buyer for the Jewel Tea Company.
He married an English girl and life seemed pleasant enough.
But a letter from a Constable Wicklow had reported the
abrupt end of that Edward, on a business trip to Singapore,
had disappeared.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The current crop of Melee.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Guerrillas was suspected, but there was not one clue as
to whether he was alive or dead. Expense cown Adam
three twelve hundred and eighty three dollars affair of Singapore.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It was almost a week later that I jostled my
way through the crowded.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Streets to the opposite of the Jewel Tea buyer. Mister
neaps in all. It's hard, mister Dollar. You won't believe this,
but I was thinking of ed just as you walked
through that door. You knew about the disappearance or Constable
Rogue sent word down a week after.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
He'd been here. Mister French did come here after he
left his plantation.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yes, we finished our business in the afternoon and went
to dinner at the club that night. He left the
following morning. Did you hear from him the following morning? Well, no,
but I knew that was his plan. Actually, I wasn't
worried about him even after I heard about it. It's
a lot of qui, I guess, but strong will. If
(02:44):
fifty men told him not to swim across the river,
he'd do it just to freeze himself. You get to
expect the unexpected from him. I don't know if I
make myself clear. I think I understand selfish may be
a better word. What I mean is that it would
be like Ed do suddenly for some place without bothering
to tell anyone.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Not even his wife, of course, the ball not his wife.
Don't misunderstand.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I like it, but I can't help disapproving of some
of the things, like the way he treats Catherine, but
none of my business.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I like him in spite of those things. I think
Ed will show up when he gets ready to and
laugh at the trouble.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
He's cause you don't put any stock in the idea
that the gorillas might have got him bandits.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I understand your calling.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yes, well, of course, it's always that possibility. Battery is
killed down and what I'd expect it to be.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
The last one?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
If he just took off some places, you suspect, would
you have an idea where he'd go? No, I'm afraid
I wouldn't. It's a big world, you know. How do
I get to Row?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I began to appreciate the state of siege British Malaya
is living under.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
When I boarded the train the next morning, all the
windows and all the cars were covered with wood hard
and thick enough to withstand fast sized bullet. At the
stopping point near Aoub, I was met by two native
policemen armed with brand guns, who drove me the rest
of the way in a jeep that had been encased
in armor. There was no trouble, but by the time
I reached the police station in Rahoub, I had a
(04:13):
healthy respe for the bank wall of jungle that pushed
in from all sides, and the unseen enemy had hid
it was on the way. It's notified by the native
driver that Constable Wicklow had been killed from ambush the
day before.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
His replacement was Constable Downs.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
It's a nasty business cleaning them up. Poor Wicklow had
been anti pro almost a year.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
It must have happened after I talked to the police
in Singapore.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yes last night they attacked the stewardess state that adjoins franchis.
Wicklow was killed on the way out with reinforcements. They'll
single out the leader every chance they get.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
What do you know about French's disappearance? Very little?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I'm afraid I read Wicklow's report when I learned you
were coming. Undoubtedly the work of the bandits, although it
might appear to be kidnapping.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Kidnapping that's a new theory.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Oh, hardly a theory yet. But it's not been their
habit to conceal the bodies of their victims. This is
the first case on record where a vehicle.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Has been taken. I didn't know about that either.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
That's what Wicklows reports said. That's all I know about it.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Conswell, I want to go out and talk with his wife.
How do you take the jeep?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
By all means, it's rather late in the afternoon to
start out. If you can't be sure of getting back
here before dark, well there's hardly any possibility that you
will take a chance. The Native boys simply won't start back.
They'll stayed behind the barricade there for the night, and
so will you.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
The French estate, like the others, maintained about fifty private
soldiers who held offensive positions about the place twenty four
hours a day.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
By the time I got there, they had pulled in
for the night.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
We were lanning a tight prepper around the means. As
he passed through it, I saw that they were fairly
well armed with rifles, light automatic weapons and grenades. In
sight of all this, waiting on the verandah and dressed
as though she were about to leave for a cocktail party,
Missus French looked entirely out of place. Missus French, Yes,
(06:26):
didn't constable downs telephone about my coming.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
He said he would constable downs.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I'm afraid he wasn't able to our telephone. Wise have
been out.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh my name is Dollar, Missus French.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
How do you do?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I'm here from the States to investigate the disappearance of
your husband the United States.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
I was sent by the insurance company that tries the
policy on his life.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It's quite a big policy, you know.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Yes, please sit down, thank you, Oh mister dollar. You
must understand what our fears are. Edward has been killed
by the bandits.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
There's no proof of that.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yet as a matter of fact, Constable Down seems to
think there's a fair possibility that.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
He hasn't been What did he say?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
That they never bothered to hide anyone they've killed, and
your husband's body.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Hasn't been found.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Also that they never steal cars and your husband's car
hasn't been found.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Hi, I haven't dared to help. What does he think
it means?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I don't think he's sure. But he mentioned kidnapping.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I didn't know until I talked to him that your
husband had been in his car when he disappeared. Does
that mean that he drove to Singapore? Yes, he always
drove through more than two hundred miles of jungle during
an emergency like this.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Why would he do that because everybody told him that
he shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
My husband was.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
It was like that.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You're convinced that he's dead, aren't you.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Well? I haven't dared to hope. I've thought the worst.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
So that it friend, Where did it come from?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's hard to tell way. I thought you'd better sit down,
Missus French. Come on, come on, said.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
About fifteen minutes later, I thought I understood her violent
reaction to the shots. In the far distance, a small
lorry pulled up in front of the house, and a
blond man of thirty or.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So years got out of it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
He was introduced to me as Keith Stewart, manager of
the adjoining estate. From one brief look that passed between
Missus French and him, I thought I understood.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Who she had been afraid for.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I dare say that nobody would travel all the way
out here if I cut it. You Americans are a
surprising lines, I suppose so. And by the way, I
very really did catch it.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
We heard the shooting.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
How many were there? Keith?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
How to tell? As usual? I could scarcely see the beggars,
But the.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Number is not as important as the fact that they're
still in the vicinity After last night.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I'm afraid we shall have to expect another raid tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Telephone lines had been cut, Yes, I.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Rather hope they had. I tried to call. That's why
I popped over. I think we can expect them here tonight.
Is that your jeep, mister.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Dollar constable bounds, Let me use it. I wouldn't try
to return to Raoube until morning.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
If I were you.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Two hours later, it was dark, a double guard had
been posted in floodlights glared out in a two hundred
yard circle around the house. There was a rather strange
supper shared by Missus French, Keith Stewart, and myself. The
association between the two was obvious to me by the
time coffee was served, and the rest of it came
out later that night. I couldn't sleep in the uneasy house,
(09:42):
and at eleven I left my room to go get
some air on the verandah. But they were already there,
and what I overheard from inside the house just.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
About settled the case as far as I was concerned.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I was waiting for a definite statement when the conversation
was interrupted.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Here go inside, captain, what is it? Shut well, sir,
little war awaken you. I wasn't asleep. You said you
had a weapon? Pony? Yeah side captain, All right, easy,
careful right over here, mister Dolla.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Having gone to American manufacturer, are you familiar with the
Thompson product. Yeah, thanks, I'll have to armit the chambers empty.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Ah, then you're going out there with me. That's what
you wanted. Wasn't it? Very good?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Wander?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
An odd way to carry on an insurance investigation, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's trying, but you have to this an ordinary case.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
We'll return you to the second act of yours, Truly,
Johnny Dollar, in just a moment. There have been some
changes made, and it's faster, it's funnier, It's got me
life and brand new punch because Jan Murray's taken over.
What show is this Why CBS's Saturday night musical quiz
Sing It Again, an hour of melody, mirth and money
(11:10):
that's heard on most of these same CBS stations. Yes,
Jan Murray is your new host, Allandale, Judy Lynn, the
Riddlers and Ray Block are your music makers, and there's
still loads and loads of cash for identifying the phantom Boy.
Be sure to hear the news Sing It Again, starring
Jan Murray tonight on CDs Now with our star Edmund O'Brien,
(11:34):
we return you to the second act of yours, Truly,
Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Converte of fire, convert plass to keep that lane covered.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
We've only gone to.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Look about my targets as I'm moving to the left, Stuart,
good Man, two of them, take them if you like.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
There's one hundred of them mainforced. All right, swing a
fire you're concentrating the rear.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Straighten them out.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We'll be in the enfilade position. Nights prenights.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
No thanks man, Well, good morning, mister dollar. Bandits gave
(13:11):
you a bit of a go last night. I'm told
it's over by two.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I am. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I got your men into a constable nonsense. They're policemen.
You brought them both back, didn't you. Yes, the one
death we had was a boy from the estate beastly business.
What about the bandits, I don't know. I didn't say
the count. There's been a development in the French disappearance
that will probably surprise you.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
I overheard a private conversation between Stuart and Missus French,
or at least they thought it was private. I can
think only one thing after hearing what they said. They're
back of French's disappearance, not the bandits. Oh see here now,
I told you it'll be a surprise that it's the truth.
Do you suspect that there's something between them.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
It's more than a suspicion. I know that to be
a fact, good Lord. They talked about.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Whether or not French knew about their association, and whether
or not he'd mentioned it to somebody who could have
told me about it. She's afraid I am suspicious of them,
she said, What else could they have been talking about?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Constable? I don't know, good Lord.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Did it sound as though they had killed him?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Yes, it did, But unfortunately an overheard conversation isn't much
in the.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Way of proof.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
No, no pity the body hasn't been found.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
It would help. He didn't say so. But I sort
of assumed that Stuart has a wife, Is that right?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Yes, he has rather a pathetic, sickly woman.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
You can't say that about missus French. Oh no, no,
I suppose one, couldn't.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I wonder if you could call Stuart into town for
something this afternoon, maybe a report on last night's action,
and I could talk to his wife.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
But yes, yes, I mentioned I could a last two
or three of the Planters. As a matter of fact,
I should arrange a meeting to discuss common defense. But
good Lord, dollar its possibility is astounding.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
It was almost too hot to move when Constable Downs
opened this meeting, but I jeeped to the Steward estate
and was admitted to the room where Missus Stuart was
resting a pale, fever ridden woman.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Mister Dollar, we've traveled a great distance in order to
ask questions.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I find rather strange your hesitancy.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Now that you are here, there are some questions that
are particularly hard to ask about your husband, Missus Stuart. Yes,
do you know about your husband and Missus French?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Of course I've known he's in love with her, and
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Has he spoken of divorce under.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
British law, mister Doller, it would be my place to
speak of divorce. Why do you ask?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I wondered if he or they had any plans for
the future.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I assure you any of Keith's plans for the future
will include me, unless he killed me.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
At times I wish he would.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Do you think Edward French knew about his wife? I
don't know, this is Stuart.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I don't know if you really think your husband is
capable of killing you, But it looks very much as
though he did kill Edward French.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I hope he did, and I hope he's punished for it.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Can you think of anything that might help me prove
that he did? Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Oh, I wish I could remember.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
French disappeared about a month ago. Evidently he left sickpor
in his car. If your husband killed him, he would
have to have met him on the road back. Can
you remember your husband leaving for any length of time
about a month ago?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yes, yes, I do remember. A month ago. He left
before noon in his lorry. He was gone for two
or three hours.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Did he say where he had gone? No?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I asked him, and he said he'd been inspecting the groves.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
But he was lying. It was hard to know whether
she was speaking the truth or what was manufactured by
her hate for her husband. When I left her, I
went back to the French estate. Missus French was reportedly
too ill from the previous night's excitement to see me
at the moment when I was told to wait. I
(17:32):
waited until an hour before dark, and then was faced
not by the lady of the estate, but by Keith Stuart.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
My wife told me about your visit, miss Adella. She died.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I was hoping that she wouldn't. I'm sorry that you
bothered us. She's quite ill at times when she says
is entirely no basis of reason.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Home.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
She seemed to be all right with mysel. She told
her that I killed Edward French. Do you think that's
a reasonable statement.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
He didn't tell me that? And why should she say that?
She did? Probably because I told her. You told her.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah, Why would you think a thing like that, mister Dollar,
Because it doesn't look like natives work. For one thing,
the body hidden, the car missing.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That doesn't necessarily follow, Sir Dolla. A junkle animal might
have made off of his body. An armored daughters such
as his could be sold quite easily for a great
deal of money. His body might also off a proof
of who killed him. The car too, possibly. I'm afraid
you're in narrow, mister Dollar. Edward was killed by bandits.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
How do you know that?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Considering the number of debts attributable to them? I think
it safe to assume you're in love with his wife.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I make no secret of that, sir.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
You made no secret of your conversation with her last night.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Aiden.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
What do you mean, I mean under the randa last night,
just before they attacked. I see you told her there
was nothing to worry about. If you'll remember, you were wrong,
I'm afraid you were too, mister Dollar. Spying is not
looked upon with any amount of favor here. It's not
my usual method, but your stupidity made it almost unavoidable.
How do you think the murder is going to be received?
I insist there was no murder per se. Edward was
(19:03):
killed by the bandits. He Catherine, will you go back
to your room?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Please?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
No, Keith, I have a right to know what's being said.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Nothing is being said, my dear, there would be of
any interest to you.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Why do you say that, Stuart, I've been listening, Keith.
I have a right to be here, all.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Right, my dear.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
As you know, then, we were discussing the possibility that I.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Might have killed your husband.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It's a groundlous discussion, since even if mister Doll were
convinced that I had, there would be.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
The matter of proof.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I've been expecting, man, and you have a subm not
at the moment, but let me tell you this, I
have constable downs convinced too. He arranged the meeting of
you planners this afternoon only to give me time to talk.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
To your wife.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Keith.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Please, Kevin be quiet.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
The Constable has probably radioed our suspicions of Singapore by now,
so you.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Can see that the ball is rolling, so to speak. Catherine,
be quiet. Go to your room. Catherine, it'll be better
if you'll go to your room. You can see she's.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Ready to break down right now. I don't think you
have a chance toward She had nothing to do with
the dollar. I'll accept full responsibility. We did fall in love.
Edward was a beast and has nothing to do with it,
has it? If you'd known him, you'd realize that it's
had a great deal to do with it. He deserved
to die. Life is cheap here in the Malay States.
(20:16):
Good men have been dying.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
He wasn't a good man. He was a beast, and
I took the emergency and used it to my advantage,
to Catherine's advantage.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You met him when he came back from Singapore.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yes, I drove my lorry to meet him. I feigned
engine trouble when he got out, shot him and drove away.
But I didn't tell Catherine until after i'd done it.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You want to go into town and give you a
story to council downs, or shall I send in for him.
I'll go in. If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
If I could go to my estate first, exclosed the dark,
I'd appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
We've gone the jeep. Then I've got two armed men,
and then all right, bestter dollar. I won't say good
bye to Catherin. If we could leave now, Oh, you
are carrying an Automaica and Benter take them alright, we
can go now.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
It was too close to dark, and we swung into
the last mile of his estate. The jungle seemed to
press him closer than ever. The orange sun had sunk
below the trees. By the time we reached the house.
The guard was set, and I wondered if I had
spent another night with a Thompson in my hands. We
walked into the house and there faced a man I
didn't recognize until Stuart screamed.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
His name French French foot how.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
And emitiated Edward French, a scarecrow, half alive and holding
a pistol in his hand.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
French, Yes, keep Edward, you are Edward French. Yes, I
am Edward French. I'm still alive.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I stayed alive so I could come back and face
the man who thought he'd kill me.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Oh it's Katherine Hadwood. Is she happy thinking I'm dead?
She should have known that I wouldn't die. I didn't die. Keith.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Keith was going in to give himself up. French, I
won't have to now wait a minute, let things go
the way they're going.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I know how things are going. I don't know you,
but don't try to stop me.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Look at what the There's nothing I can say, nothing
I can say, but but Edward, that must be saying.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Give me that thing, French? Sure here it is well.
I've shown hum a thing or two around here. Yeah,
you sure have.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Expense acount item for same as item as one of them.
Retransportation neck to the States in Hartford. I had him
five miscellaneous two hundred dollars expense account total two seven
and thirty.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Nine dollars and fifty cents. Remarks.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
The story of French being left for dead and driving
to a settlement hospital is too long to cover here.
But he did without letting anybody know who he was.
The last I saw of him, he was being booked
for murder himself. I had no idea that a cup
of tea might have all this background, but I was there.

Dolla, Missus French speaking. Who is?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (00:08):
I'm sorry for my exposed of greeting Missus French as
the habit I've gotten into is mister Dalla from the
insurance company.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh, yes, I received the message that you'd call, but
I don't think I understand you're.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Coming to Chicago.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Well, I guess they haven't got around to writing about it.
They sent me here to talk to you about your son,
I see, and then if we decide there are grounds
to be a fears about him, They've given me a
thoraday to go out to the Melee States and investigate
the situation.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Oh that's very nice of them. I am afraid for Edward.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I'll come out to see about one point thirty there,
Missus French.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Dollar expense account submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dalla to
Home Office Tri State Insurance Group, Hartford, Connecticut. The following
is an accounting of expenditures. During my investigation of the
(01:13):
Edward French matter, expense account item won ninety five dollars
airfan incidentals between Hartford and Chicago, the home of Edward
French's mother.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
There the story went about his follows.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Edward French had led the States after the war and
gone to the Melee States, where he managed a tea plantation,
concentrating on sales to a buyer for the Jewel Tea Company.
He married an English girl and life seemed pleasant enough.
But a letter from a Constable Wicklow had reported the
abrupt end of that Edward, on a business trip to Singapore,
had disappeared.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The current crop of Melee.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Guerrillas was suspected, but there was not one clue as
to whether he was alive or dead. Expense cown Adam
three twelve hundred and eighty three dollars affair of Singapore.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It was almost a week later that I jostled my
way through the crowded.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Streets to the opposite of the Jewel Tea buyer. Mister
neaps in all. It's hard, mister Dollar. You won't believe this,
but I was thinking of ed just as you walked
through that door. You knew about the disappearance or Constable
Rogue sent word down a week after.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
He'd been here. Mister French did come here after he
left his plantation.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yes, we finished our business in the afternoon and went
to dinner at the club that night. He left the
following morning. Did you hear from him the following morning? Well, no,
but I knew that was his plan. Actually, I wasn't
worried about him even after I heard about it. It's
a lot of qui, I guess, but strong will. If
(02:44):
fifty men told him not to swim across the river,
he'd do it just to freeze himself. You get to
expect the unexpected from him. I don't know if I
make myself clear. I think I understand selfish may be
a better word. What I mean is that it would
be like Ed do suddenly for some place without bothering
to tell anyone.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Not even his wife, of course, the ball not his wife.
Don't misunderstand.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I like it, but I can't help disapproving of some
of the things, like the way he treats Catherine, but
none of my business.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I like him in spite of those things. I think
Ed will show up when he gets ready to and
laugh at the trouble.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
He's cause you don't put any stock in the idea
that the gorillas might have got him bandits.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I understand your calling.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yes, well, of course, it's always that possibility. Battery is
killed down and what I'd expect it to be.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
The last one?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
If he just took off some places, you suspect, would
you have an idea where he'd go? No, I'm afraid
I wouldn't. It's a big world, you know. How do
I get to Row?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I began to appreciate the state of siege British Malaya
is living under.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
When I boarded the train the next morning, all the
windows and all the cars were covered with wood hard
and thick enough to withstand fast sized bullet. At the
stopping point near Aoub, I was met by two native
policemen armed with brand guns, who drove me the rest
of the way in a jeep that had been encased
in armor. There was no trouble, but by the time
I reached the police station in Rahoub, I had a
(04:13):
healthy respe for the bank wall of jungle that pushed
in from all sides, and the unseen enemy had hid
it was on the way. It's notified by the native
driver that Constable Wicklow had been killed from ambush the
day before.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
His replacement was Constable Downs.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
It's a nasty business cleaning them up. Poor Wicklow had
been anti pro almost a year.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
It must have happened after I talked to the police
in Singapore.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yes last night they attacked the stewardess state that adjoins franchis.
Wicklow was killed on the way out with reinforcements. They'll
single out the leader every chance they get.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
What do you know about French's disappearance? Very little?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I'm afraid I read Wicklow's report when I learned you
were coming. Undoubtedly the work of the bandits, although it
might appear to be kidnapping.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Kidnapping that's a new theory.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Oh, hardly a theory yet. But it's not been their
habit to conceal the bodies of their victims. This is
the first case on record where a vehicle.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Has been taken. I didn't know about that either.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
That's what Wicklows reports said. That's all I know about it.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Conswell, I want to go out and talk with his wife.
How do you take the jeep?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
By all means, it's rather late in the afternoon to
start out. If you can't be sure of getting back
here before dark, well there's hardly any possibility that you
will take a chance. The Native boys simply won't start back.
They'll stayed behind the barricade there for the night, and
so will you.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
The French estate, like the others, maintained about fifty private
soldiers who held offensive positions about the place twenty four
hours a day.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
By the time I got there, they had pulled in
for the night.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
We were lanning a tight prepper around the means. As
he passed through it, I saw that they were fairly
well armed with rifles, light automatic weapons and grenades. In
sight of all this, waiting on the verandah and dressed
as though she were about to leave for a cocktail party,
Missus French looked entirely out of place. Missus French, Yes,
(06:26):
didn't constable downs telephone about my coming.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
He said he would constable downs.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I'm afraid he wasn't able to our telephone. Wise have
been out.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh my name is Dollar, Missus French.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
How do you do?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I'm here from the States to investigate the disappearance of
your husband the United States.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
I was sent by the insurance company that tries the
policy on his life.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It's quite a big policy, you know.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Yes, please sit down, thank you, Oh mister dollar. You
must understand what our fears are. Edward has been killed
by the bandits.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
There's no proof of that.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yet as a matter of fact, Constable Down seems to
think there's a fair possibility that.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
He hasn't been What did he say?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
That they never bothered to hide anyone they've killed, and
your husband's body.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Hasn't been found.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Also that they never steal cars and your husband's car
hasn't been found.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Hi, I haven't dared to help. What does he think
it means?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I don't think he's sure. But he mentioned kidnapping.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I didn't know until I talked to him that your
husband had been in his car when he disappeared. Does
that mean that he drove to Singapore? Yes, he always
drove through more than two hundred miles of jungle during
an emergency like this.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Why would he do that because everybody told him that
he shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
My husband was.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
It was like that.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You're convinced that he's dead, aren't you.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Well? I haven't dared to hope. I've thought the worst.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
So that it friend, Where did it come from?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's hard to tell way. I thought you'd better sit down,
Missus French. Come on, come on, said.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
About fifteen minutes later, I thought I understood her violent
reaction to the shots. In the far distance, a small
lorry pulled up in front of the house, and a
blond man of thirty or.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So years got out of it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
He was introduced to me as Keith Stewart, manager of
the adjoining estate. From one brief look that passed between
Missus French and him, I thought I understood.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Who she had been afraid for.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I dare say that nobody would travel all the way
out here if I cut it. You Americans are a
surprising lines, I suppose so. And by the way, I
very really did catch it.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
We heard the shooting.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
How many were there? Keith?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
How to tell? As usual? I could scarcely see the beggars,
But the.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Number is not as important as the fact that they're
still in the vicinity After last night.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I'm afraid we shall have to expect another raid tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Telephone lines had been cut, Yes, I.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Rather hope they had. I tried to call. That's why
I popped over. I think we can expect them here tonight.
Is that your jeep, mister.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Dollar constable bounds, Let me use it. I wouldn't try
to return to Raoube until morning.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
If I were you.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Two hours later, it was dark, a double guard had
been posted in floodlights glared out in a two hundred
yard circle around the house. There was a rather strange
supper shared by Missus French, Keith Stewart, and myself. The
association between the two was obvious to me by the
time coffee was served, and the rest of it came
out later that night. I couldn't sleep in the uneasy house,
(09:42):
and at eleven I left my room to go get
some air on the verandah. But they were already there,
and what I overheard from inside the house just.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
About settled the case as far as I was concerned.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I was waiting for a definite statement when the conversation
was interrupted.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Here go inside, captain, what is it? Shut well, sir,
little war awaken you. I wasn't asleep. You said you
had a weapon? Pony? Yeah side captain, All right, easy,
careful right over here, mister Dolla.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Having gone to American manufacturer, are you familiar with the
Thompson product. Yeah, thanks, I'll have to armit the chambers empty.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Ah, then you're going out there with me. That's what
you wanted. Wasn't it? Very good?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Wander?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
An odd way to carry on an insurance investigation, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's trying, but you have to this an ordinary case.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
We'll return you to the second act of yours, Truly,
Johnny Dollar, in just a moment. There have been some
changes made, and it's faster, it's funnier, It's got me
life and brand new punch because Jan Murray's taken over.

still loads and loads of cash for identifying the phantom Boy.
Be sure to hear the news Sing It Again, starring

(11:34):
we return you to the second act of yours, Truly,
Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Converte of fire, convert plass to keep that lane covered.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
We've only gone to.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Look about my targets as I'm moving to the left, Stuart,
good Man, two of them, take them if you like.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
There's one hundred of them mainforced. All right, swing a
fire you're concentrating the rear.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Straighten them out.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
We'll be in the enfilade position. Nights prenights.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
No thanks man, Well, good morning, mister dollar. Bandits gave
(13:11):
you a bit of a go last night. I'm told
it's over by two.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I am. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I got your men into a constable nonsense. They're policemen.
You brought them both back, didn't you. Yes, the one
death we had was a boy from the estate beastly business.
What about the bandits, I don't know. I didn't say
the count. There's been a development in the French disappearance
that will probably surprise you.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
I overheard a private conversation between Stuart and Missus French,
or at least they thought it was private. I can
think only one thing after hearing what they said. They're
back of French's disappearance, not the bandits. Oh see here now,
I told you it'll be a surprise that it's the truth.
Do you suspect that there's something between them.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
It's more than a suspicion. I know that to be
a fact, good Lord. They talked about.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Whether or not French knew about their association, and whether
or not he'd mentioned it to somebody who could have
told me about it. She's afraid I am suspicious of them,
she said, What else could they have been talking about?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Constable? I don't know, good Lord.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Did it sound as though they had killed him?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Yes, it did, But unfortunately an overheard conversation isn't much
in the.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Way of proof.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
No, no pity the body hasn't been found.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
It would help. He didn't say so. But I sort
of assumed that Stuart has a wife, Is that right?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Yes, he has rather a pathetic, sickly woman.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
You can't say that about missus French. Oh no, no,
I suppose one, couldn't.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I wonder if you could call Stuart into town for
something this afternoon, maybe a report on last night's action,
and I could talk to his wife.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
But yes, yes, I mentioned I could a last two
or three of the Planters. As a matter of fact,
I should arrange a meeting to discuss common defense. But
good Lord, dollar its possibility is astounding.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
It was almost too hot to move when Constable Downs
opened this meeting, but I jeeped to the Steward estate
and was admitted to the room where Missus Stuart was
resting a pale, fever ridden woman.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Mister Dollar, we've traveled a great distance in order to
ask questions.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I find rather strange your hesitancy.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Now that you are here, there are some questions that
are particularly hard to ask about your husband, Missus Stuart. Yes,
do you know about your husband and Missus French?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Of course I've known he's in love with her, and
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Has he spoken of divorce under.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
British law, mister Doller, it would be my place to
speak of divorce. Why do you ask?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I wondered if he or they had any plans for
the future.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I assure you any of Keith's plans for the future
will include me, unless he killed me.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
At times I wish he would.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Do you think Edward French knew about his wife? I
don't know, this is Stuart.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I don't know if you really think your husband is
capable of killing you, But it looks very much as
though he did kill Edward French.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I hope he did, and I hope he's punished for it.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Can you think of anything that might help me prove
that he did? Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Oh, I wish I could remember.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
French disappeared about a month ago. Evidently he left sickpor
in his car. If your husband killed him, he would
have to have met him on the road back. Can
you remember your husband leaving for any length of time
about a month ago?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yes, yes, I do remember. A month ago. He left
before noon in his lorry. He was gone for two
or three hours.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Did he say where he had gone? No?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I asked him, and he said he'd been inspecting the groves.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
But he was lying. It was hard to know whether
she was speaking the truth or what was manufactured by
her hate for her husband. When I left her, I
went back to the French estate. Missus French was reportedly
too ill from the previous night's excitement to see me
at the moment when I was told to wait. I
(17:32):
waited until an hour before dark, and then was faced
not by the lady of the estate, but by Keith Stuart.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
My wife told me about your visit, miss Adella. She died.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I was hoping that she wouldn't. I'm sorry that you
bothered us. She's quite ill at times when she says
is entirely no basis of reason.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Home.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
She seemed to be all right with mysel. She told
her that I killed Edward French. Do you think that's
a reasonable statement.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
He didn't tell me that? And why should she say that?
She did? Probably because I told her. You told her.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah, Why would you think a thing like that, mister Dollar,
Because it doesn't look like natives work. For one thing,
the body hidden, the car missing.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That doesn't necessarily follow, Sir Dolla. A junkle animal might
have made off of his body. An armored daughters such
as his could be sold quite easily for a great
deal of money. His body might also off a proof
of who killed him. The car too, possibly. I'm afraid
you're in narrow, mister Dollar. Edward was killed by bandits.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
How do you know that?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Considering the number of debts attributable to them? I think
it safe to assume you're in love with his wife.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I make no secret of that, sir.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
You made no secret of your conversation with her last night.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Aiden.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
What do you mean, I mean under the randa last night,
just before they attacked. I see you told her there
was nothing to worry about. If you'll remember, you were wrong,
I'm afraid you were too, mister Dollar. Spying is not
looked upon with any amount of favor here. It's not
my usual method, but your stupidity made it almost unavoidable.
How do you think the murder is going to be received?
I insist there was no murder per se. Edward was
(19:03):
killed by the bandits. He Catherine, will you go back
to your room?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Please?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
No, Keith, I have a right to know what's being said.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Nothing is being said, my dear, there would be of
any interest to you.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Why do you say that, Stuart, I've been listening, Keith.
I have a right to be here, all.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Right, my dear.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
As you know, then, we were discussing the possibility that I.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Might have killed your husband.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
It's a groundlous discussion, since even if mister Doll were
convinced that I had, there would be.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
The matter of proof.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I've been expecting, man, and you have a subm not
at the moment, but let me tell you this, I
have constable downs convinced too. He arranged the meeting of
you planners this afternoon only to give me time to talk.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
To your wife.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Keith.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Please, Kevin be quiet.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
The Constable has probably radioed our suspicions of Singapore by now,
so you.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Can see that the ball is rolling, so to speak. Catherine,
be quiet. Go to your room. Catherine, it'll be better
if you'll go to your room. You can see she's.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Ready to break down right now. I don't think you
have a chance toward She had nothing to do with
the dollar. I'll accept full responsibility. We did fall in love.
Edward was a beast and has nothing to do with it,
has it? If you'd known him, you'd realize that it's
had a great deal to do with it. He deserved
to die. Life is cheap here in the Malay States.
(20:16):
Good men have been dying.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
He wasn't a good man. He was a beast, and
I took the emergency and used it to my advantage,
to Catherine's advantage.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You met him when he came back from Singapore.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yes, I drove my lorry to meet him. I feigned
engine trouble when he got out, shot him and drove away.
But I didn't tell Catherine until after i'd done it.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You want to go into town and give you a
story to council downs, or shall I send in for him.
I'll go in. If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
If I could go to my estate first, exclosed the dark,
I'd appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
We've gone the jeep. Then I've got two armed men,
and then all right, bestter dollar. I won't say good
bye to Catherin. If we could leave now, Oh, you
are carrying an Automaica and Benter take them alright, we
can go now.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
It was too close to dark, and we swung into
the last mile of his estate. The jungle seemed to
press him closer than ever. The orange sun had sunk
below the trees. By the time we reached the house.
The guard was set, and I wondered if I had
spent another night with a Thompson in my hands. We
walked into the house and there faced a man I
didn't recognize until Stuart screamed.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
His name French French foot how.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
And emitiated Edward French, a scarecrow, half alive and holding
a pistol in his hand.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
French, Yes, keep Edward, you are Edward French. Yes, I
am Edward French. I'm still alive.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I stayed alive so I could come back and face
the man who thought he'd kill me.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
