of The Couple next Door from all the Way in Europe. Yeah,
I got all that coming up today on this third

(00:57):
Thursday edition. This is the fourteen h day of August,
two hundred and twenty sixth day of the year and
one hundred and thirty nine days left in twenty twenty five.
International forces entered Beijing, China on this date in nineteen
hundred in an effort to support the anti foreign uprising
known as the Boxer Rebellion. The Social Security Act became

(01:19):
law on this date in nineteen thirty five.

Speaker 7 (01:21):
If the Senate and the House of Representatives had done
nothing more than pass this Social Security Act, the session
would be regarded as historic for all time, and.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
All social security has not been as strong as private
investment could have been at the time it it did
do quite the job now it was on this date
eighty years ago today Japan surrendered to the US, ending
World War II.

Speaker 8 (01:50):
At exactly ten seconds after seven thirty five this morning,
August fourteenth. From London, Swiss Radio has announced that Japan
has accepted the Allied note. This is a Reuter's dispatch
from London. The Swiss radio has announced that Japan has
accepted the Allied note. There you have confirmation from the

(02:12):
Swiss radio of acceptance by Japan of the Allied note
requesting surrender on the terms with which we are.

Speaker 9 (02:21):
Already all familiar.

Speaker 8 (02:23):
And there was the historic moment in this country, the
conclusion of the war in the Pacific. We read that
flash to you at ten seconds after seven p thirty five,
just as it came off the Reuters newsprinter from London.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
ID mis reply a full acceptance of the pop Dam
decoration which specified the unconditional surrender of Japan.

Speaker 10 (02:49):
It is my ironest hope, and indeed the hope of
all mankind, that from this solemn occasion a better world.
Chalmer job of the blood and cornage of the past.

Speaker 11 (03:02):
I'm now broadcasting to you from the White House grounds.

Speaker 12 (03:05):
Have you heard the flash?

Speaker 11 (03:06):
I am sure the Japanese offer of unconditional surrender is official.
It has been accepted. President Truman said this. I have
received this afternoon a message from the Japanese government in
reply to the message forwarded to that government by Secretary
of State Burns on August eleventh. I deem this reply.
The President told us a full acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration,

(03:30):
which specifies the unconditional surrender of Japan.

Speaker 13 (03:34):
The town is us getting into the death of the
celebration about now, I believe, and President Truman will later
on evening make a formal declaration of the peace treaty
with the fans.

Speaker 14 (03:48):
This is the NBC mobile unit in the Heart Center
in the posting focus of a tire station on Timeser
in New York City, been reporting. As I stand literally
san tiptoe, sticking my head out the sober Greatsar on
top of the NBC mover units, I look uptown over
a foaming, seating, riving mass of faces lifted childly and

(04:09):
brilliantly and lightly happy at the pier from prudon of
a chest regard which has seen its closing days and
a chestra day or three or four of anxiety, turmoil,
anticipations out here and being cast down.

Speaker 12 (04:22):
Are these people happy?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's the only white rook present.

Speaker 12 (04:25):
I am happy.

Speaker 6 (04:27):
We have a second podcast today centering on the stories
of Victory in Japan Day eighty years ago today, and yes,
even though the official Victory in Japan Day is in September,
this is the date that Japan said no mocks. You'll
hear the news of the day. We'll have an episode
of the Fred Warrings Show from that morning with a

(04:50):
live short wave support from an unusual reporter in London,
Jack Benny. You'll also hear an episode of Command Perform
Herman's Victory Extra bing crosby Rhees Stevens. We'll also hear
Ronald coleman orson Wells and others, an amazing episode of

(05:13):
the program primarily aimed at our soldiers overseas. And we'll
close it as we always do on our specials of
VJ Day, with Norman Corwin's fourteen August, a moving in
dramatic anti war reading written on short notice by Norman

(05:36):
Corwan and read by Orson Wells. It is a wonderful thing.
And you will hear that in our second podcast of
the day, if you will. It was on this date
in nineteen forty seven Pakistan became independent of British rule.
Newspaper publisher William Randolph Hurst died on this date. In

(05:57):
nineteen fifty one, in Beverly Hills, Shannon Faulkner became the
first female cadet at the Citadel, the State College of
South Carolina. It was on this date in nineteen ninety
seven Timothy McVay sentenced to death for the Oklahoma City bombing.
The largest blackout in North American history hit the Northeast.

(06:19):
This New Yorker very uneasy when the lights went out.

Speaker 15 (06:22):
It's creepy.

Speaker 16 (06:23):
I'm getting a flashback from September eleventh.

Speaker 17 (06:26):
I don't like this, the light slaughter.

Speaker 18 (06:28):
Then all of a sudden, all the.

Speaker 12 (06:30):
Lights went on. They told us it was an AC fing,
and then they thought this was a DC fit and
this was a city wife failure.

Speaker 6 (06:36):
And I can understand being upset. Two years post nine
to eleven and all the lights go out. That would
be scary. Fifty million people losing power. One of the
things that I always have to remember. People do not
get too dependent on cell phones and the internet. Make
sure you have yourself a transistor radio that will make

(06:57):
a bunch of difference. It was this date ten years
ago today the embassy in Havana reopened after fifty four
years of being closed when CBA US relations had been
broken off. It was on this date in twenty seventeen,
after white nationalists marched in Charlottesville, Virginia, President Trump condemned

(07:18):
white supremacist groups and vowed to fight for the future
of America's youth.

Speaker 19 (07:23):
We will spare no resource in fighting so that every
American child can grow up free from violence and fear.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
President Trump's words eighteen years ago today. Of course, now
that President Trump has spoken out against white supremacy, he
is a white supremacist himself. That's the logic that people
have these days, and it makes no sense to me. Okay,
let's look at people who passed on this date. The
wonderful singer Johnny Burnett, actor Oscar Lebant, Dorothy Stratton, the

(07:58):
Playboy model actress passing away on this date, Carmaker, Enzo Ferrari,
judge John Serica, the Platters, Tony Williams and actress Gena Rowlands,
all passing away on this date in history. Birthdays on
this date include pro wrestler Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert. He

(08:18):
was a small man, He was not a big guy,
and so because of that he did not get to
play in the WWE at that time. When he was wrestling,
he never got a break. But anybody who ever saw
him his mic work was actually his rening work was good.
Hot Stuff Atty Gilbert born on this date in history.

(08:41):
Guitar songwriter David Crosby, and Doc Holliday. All those folks
born on this date in history.

Speaker 20 (08:49):

seventies show. Mila Cunas is forty two.

Okay, Steven, I'm here to tell you I've made my decision.

Speaker 24 (11:17):
I choose you.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
We may give Mila Kunis and a lot of people
in Hollywood grief, but they moved out of the Ukraine
at the time, which was still a part of the
Soviet Union. She speaks Russian and sometimes when she's done
movie promotion, she's gone in She's spoken Russian and made

(11:42):
people cuckoo. But here's what's really crazy. She has succeeded
exceptionally well because she spoke no English. When her family
came to the US. She was put in the second
grade at an elementary school in Los Angeles. Didn't speak

(12:03):
a word of English. She said, I've blocked out second
grade completely. I have no recollection of it. I always
talk to my mom and my grandma about it. Was
because I cried every day. I didn't understand the culture,
I didn't understand the people, I didn't understand the language.
My first sentence of my essay to get into college
was like imagine being blind and death at age seven,

(12:25):
and that's kind of what it felt like moving to
the States. But she succeeded as an immigrant, a legal immigrant.

Smith's there used to be. Now my generations come back.

it mean?

What can the answer possibly be to the todd fantastic
happenings just over the county line from Dobe.

Well, you better hurry because Tom is rapidly beginning to

the United States, Tom Mix was played by Curly Bradley

(28:30):
Tom Gordon speaking this is the mutual broadcasting system.

Speaker 6 (28:35):
Now make no mistake. Tom Mix was a real man.
He was a real man. He was born Tom hes
A Tiant Mix back in eighteen eighty. He starred in
two hundred or appeared in two hundred and ninety one films,
all but nine of which were silent films. He was

(28:56):
one of Hollywood's first big Western stars, helped define the genre,
and he rode in President Roosevelt's Tino Roosevelt's inaugural parade
in nineteen oh five with a group of fifty horsemen.

Speaker 12 (29:10):
So you know he was.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
He had his newest stuff. He played in the wild
West shows, went into films, and he quite frankly was
okay as a performer. But he was past his prime
in nineteen twenty nine, and by the time they lost
most of his money and his Arizona ranch and his

(29:34):
Hollywood mansion due to the Depression the stock market crash.
He did circus performing in the nineteen thirties reported weekly
salary of twenty thousand bucks, equivalent to over three hundred
and sixty thousand a day, but the Great Depression and
his free spending and alimony payments to his many wives

(29:56):
wiped out most of his savings. He had made over
six million dollars during his film career, but would have
much sportsun vanish. He was not very good now. In
nineteen thirty three, Ralston Purina obtained permission to produce the

(30:16):
Ralston Straight Shooters Now Mix never appeared on any of
the radio broadcasts. His voice had been damaged by a
bullet to the throat and repeated broken noses, not bit
for radio Artel's Dixon in the thirties, Jack Holden from
nineteen thirty seven, Russell Thornson in the early forties, and

(30:37):
as you heard today and through the conclusion of the series,
Joe Curley Bradley, and of course lots of one of
the fun things out there you will find all sorts
of contest entries and comic books available only by writing
by mail. That's how they knew people were listening. Most

(31:00):
of the radio work has been lost for the years.
There are only about thirty scattered episodes no complaint story
arcs of the Tom Mix Ralston's Streight Shooters are out there. Sadly,
in nineteen forty, after visiting Pima County, Sheriff Ed eccles
and Tucson Mix killed when his car overturned while he

(31:23):
was taking a detour eighteen miles south of Florence, Arizona.
He was sixty at the time. Airs a small stone
memorial marking the side of his death on State Road
seventy nine. Nearby gully is Tom Mix Wash. The marker
bears the inspiration and memory of Tom Mix, whose spirit
left his body on this spot, and whose characterization and

(31:45):
portrayals in life served to better fix memories of the
Old West in the minds of living men. The Tom
Mix Ralston Straight Shooters starring as we said, Joe Curley
Bradley as Mix from this date eighty years ago today.

(32:08):
Very fortunate to still have that. I think that's the
only Tom Mix we have in our entire collection. We'll
see if we can find more. But again, we have
no story arcs. That's what makes doing so many of
ceials like Tom Mix Rolson Straight Shooters difficult because we

(32:28):
get random stories out of story arcs that aren't complete.
That's one of the reasons why we have fifteen minute
episodes of Love and Abner, because we have complete story arcs.
That's why we'll have Claudia coming back. That's why we
have a Superman coming back. And the main reason for
that is those cereals we have complete story arcs of

(32:52):
and so we'll keep doing that. That was a great
part about when we were doing the quarter hour yours
truly Johnny Dollars, because we had the almost all of them,
we had the full five part story arcs. Now, let
us go to what I think was the final episode
of Frontier Town. Read Hadley as in Frontier Town from

(33:15):
seventy two years ago.

Speaker 23 (33:16):
That's up next, Ladies and gentlemen, make tomorrow your d day.
Get an extra bond for defense. Step into any bank
or post office, and buy yourself a profitable share in
America's future. As an investment, bonds are better than ever.

(33:38):
They can help you save safely, conveniently, and profitably. So
whether you already buy on the payroll savings plan where
you work or the Bond a month plan where you bank,
get an extra bond for defense tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (33:51):
Now we head back seventy two years August fourteenth, nineteen
fifty three, Read Hadley starring as Chad Remington, frontier lawyer
in Frontier Town. In this episode entitled Lady Luck.

Speaker 12 (34:06):
Ron Tier Town. The Saga of the Roaring West.

Speaker 34 (34:14):
Frontier Town, El Paso, Cheyenne, Calgary, Tombstone, Frontier Town. Here
is the adventurous story of the early West, the tamed
and the untamed, From the Pacos to Powder River, Dad City,

(34:37):
the Poker Flat. These are the towns they fought to
live in and live to fight for, teeming crucibles of
pioneer freedom.

Speaker 12 (34:45):
Frontier Town.

Speaker 15 (35:26):
Abby, They're friends.

Speaker 35 (35:27):
This is Chad Remington Chad Remington, frontier lawyer from the
frontier town called Dosrieus. I guess it goes without saying
that a frontier town lawyer can find more trouble twenty
four hours a day than any man living or dead
Western Chicago. And if this weren't enough, part of my

(35:47):
time has taken up with the running of a small
cattle ranch left to me by my late father. Matter
of fact, it was while I was on my ranch
that this last adventure really had its start. Of the
little law office I have if I rent from Cherokee O'Bannon,
the ex medicine man who now operates the Docerius Livery stables.
I don't know whether it's because he's afraid I may

(36:09):
run out with the rent money, or because tagging around
with me gets to see his favorite scenery, saloons. But
for one reason or other, O'Bannon is most always by
my side. Well, this particular morning, Cherokee was helping me
round up some strays in a far canyon on the
back end of my ranch.

Speaker 15 (36:28):
Everything seemed to.

Speaker 22 (36:29):
Be going all right, Hai Hai Dad, I was thinking again,
fight is a man like you with a good law practice?
Father Plaine nurse made a lot.

Speaker 15 (36:39):
Of cow well, to be honest about a jerokee.

Speaker 35 (36:42):
Cows are like money in the bank, and their products
sell for good money, with milk at six cents of
quood and cream at ten cents a pint.

Speaker 22 (36:50):
Oh my ten cents a pipe for cream. If you
pennies more, you can get a bottle could bourbon.

Speaker 35 (36:56):
Don't you tell the cows that they might start changing
their product, counselor houses.

Speaker 22 (37:01):
The cream costs so much more.

Speaker 15 (37:02):
Than melt because of the labor involved.

Speaker 22 (37:04):
Jerokee, cream costs more than milk because the labor and.

Speaker 35 (37:08):
Paul Naturally, it's harder for the cows to sit on
those little bottles.

Speaker 22 (37:13):
I'm a billy Blue blazers chat. That's about the funniest
remark I've ever heard. You chat, we're surrounders. We're being ambushed.

Speaker 15 (37:20):
Jerokey. You blame fool let that gun alone.

Speaker 22 (37:22):
But they're wrestlers.

Speaker 35 (37:23):
We're being a tech Rustler's my eye? Can't you see
who fired that shot? Won't you see who it is coming?
It's old Sam from the Western Union office.

Speaker 22 (37:33):
Sam. How I wonder what the blazes he wants? Ay?

Speaker 12 (37:37):
Sam?

Speaker 15 (37:38):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Boy?

Speaker 34 (37:40):
Sorry?

Speaker 19 (37:41):
That seem to be the only way stopping you if
they're chasing you another ten miles.

Speaker 22 (37:47):
What in the name of my grandmother's bustle is so
important that you had to stop us?

Speaker 19 (37:51):
We're telegram come for you, chat and since it needs
to meet you an answer, kind of better bring it
up to you.

Speaker 15 (37:57):
Yeah, thanks, Sam, that's one invitation I'm not going to refuse.
What's one invitation? You please tell me what this is
all about.

Speaker 35 (38:14):
Well, there's telegram from Kurt Body, you know, the sheriff
over at Bonanza City. He says there's a big party
being given day after tomorrow honoring all the peace officers
of the territory.

Speaker 15 (38:24):
In Well, he's inviting me don as his guest.

Speaker 22 (38:28):
From what I hear about Bonanza City, it's as much
a city as a prairie dog's hole as a tunnel.
That's a wide open ripper and boomtown at dead.

Speaker 35 (38:35):
I don't suppose that'll stop you from going down and
attending the party with me, will it?

Speaker 22 (38:40):
Cherokee he attend a peace officer's party.

Speaker 35 (38:44):
My dear friend, any warrants formally issued against you for
selling your genuine Cherokee Indian rattlesnake oil probably have run
out now because of the Statute of Limitations.

Speaker 15 (38:54):
So no doubt you're fairly safe.

Speaker 22 (38:57):
You know me, Chad, I'm a party man from the
word go down. They're and mingle with a lot of
tin badges.

Speaker 35 (39:03):
Well, mister, as long as your lawyers with you, even
if they do get you, they won't hit you with
more than twenty years to life.

Speaker 22 (39:12):
Well that's a horse of it.

Speaker 29 (39:14):
What come on, Cherokee.

Speaker 35 (39:17):
We'll bring these few head we've rounded up back to
the Lower Meadow and then you and I, well we're
hitting the trail for Bonanza. Well I got Cherokee to
Bonanza City, all right, but no matter what I did,

(39:38):
I couldn't get them out to the party. To tell
the truth, there were too many so called attractions in
the town itself, so that Cherokee wasn't too seriously tempted.
The affair was being held in what was known locally
as the other side of the Creek, which meant really
the other side of the town, the wide open part
of the town, the place everyone knew existed but nobody

(40:01):
talked about. The most fashionable palace of entertainment on the
other side of the creek was the somewhat flashy but
expensively decorated place known as Boston Flora's Place, which Flora
ran with her husband, a real high roller gambler by
the name of Money. By the time Sheriff Body and
I got to Boston Flora's, the party was in full

(40:22):
swing and the place was really rocking. Boston Flora stepped
up to the piano the saint.

Speaker 36 (40:30):
Oh, the men in my life are the curse of
my life.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
They promise, and to promise.

Speaker 36 (40:38):
Still I'm nobody is a wife. Fred kissed me and
told me of his lasting love. His wife caught him
with me.

Speaker 33 (40:51):
Now Fred's up.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
The men in my life the curse of my life.

Speaker 36 (41:02):
If a six gun don't get him, then there's allways.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
On night, I got Joe to the church with one
foot on the sill.

Speaker 36 (41:16):
Buddy simply and bolted and he's running, still.

Speaker 16 (41:24):
Running.

Speaker 37 (41:33):
Well, Chad, what do you think? How about that? Boston
Flora's pretty good.

Speaker 15 (41:38):
She's better than good show, She's all right, all right?

Speaker 37 (41:41):
Oh, yes, serie is anything to be proud of. And
there's a bunch of flea bags we call Vanada City.
Flora is one of them. And when I can locate
him in this mom I'd like to have you meet
Flora's husband's.

Speaker 15 (41:52):
Money Money Huh, who sounds like a gambler?

Speaker 22 (41:55):
Oh, he sure is a real high roller.

Speaker 37 (41:57):
He's one of the coolest in the business.

Speaker 22 (42:00):
There he is.

Speaker 37 (42:00):
Now, Hey, money, Money, come on over here and meet
a friend of mine.

Speaker 33 (42:04):
Howdy, hoty well, any friend of yours a friend of mine?

Speaker 15 (42:07):
I'm sure here, Thanks Money, I'm Chad Remington from over
in Dosrieis.

Speaker 33 (42:12):
I'm delighted you could be with us tonight, Remington. Oh,
by the way, you met.

Speaker 15 (42:16):
The wife, yeah, oh, but I certainly enjoyed her singing.

Speaker 33 (42:19):
Come on, let's go over I'll make your acquainted with
one of the greatest gales on God's green foots.

Speaker 37 (42:26):
You got to treat straw for you, Chad a retreat.

Speaker 33 (42:29):
Hey, baby, baby, I want to make you acquainted with
a friend of the Sheriff's mister Remington.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
How do you do, mister Remington. It's so nice you
were able to come.

Speaker 33 (42:37):
Oh it's the matter of Remington. You look like your
eyes are gonna pop out of your head.

Speaker 35 (42:42):
I don't think I've seen that many diamonds all at
once since the night I attended the opera.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
And you or my two weaknesses mister Remington, my husband
and diamonds.

Speaker 33 (42:51):
Well, I've only got one weakness, Flora, and I don't
mind it.

Speaker 37 (42:58):
Holds a fast mule, A stick.

Speaker 22 (43:00):
Up, Senor. You just stand what you are now.

Speaker 38 (43:06):
I don't like to spoil fiesta, but if somebody moved,
there's going to be somebody dead.

Speaker 15 (43:11):
He's not going to be me, greasy devil.

Speaker 33 (43:14):
You got your nerve coming in here.

Speaker 39 (43:16):
Set, and I have more than my nerve when I leave. First,
we start with all this diamond jewelry that your wife
she will.

Speaker 33 (43:28):
Well, don't give them to him, Flora, Senor.

Speaker 39 (43:33):
If she not give the jewelry to me, I know,
should her I kill you.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
Okay, Cavalierra. Money may not look like much, but it's
worth more than the rocks to me.

Speaker 38 (43:45):
Here, glassy milk. And now that I have the jewelry,
I take up collection of cash. We're going to start
with your sheriff.

Speaker 29 (43:58):
Are you.

Speaker 20 (44:01):
Share it?

Speaker 40 (44:02):
Just for a little joke.

Speaker 15 (44:03):
I'm also going to take your badge.

Speaker 35 (44:07):
You know there's not much in my pocket book, but
it is when H like your American or say every
little bit you can.

Speaker 29 (44:18):
You the paper.

Speaker 12 (44:20):
I shall walk by you slowly. When I do, just
drop all you got into sombrero.

Speaker 38 (44:28):
Grassiers, grassiest carileros and carias, because I do not want
you to spoil your fun by running outside and chasing me.

Speaker 12 (44:36):
I think I should have the lines before I go.

Speaker 30 (44:45):
Home.

Speaker 35 (44:45):
On I I guess there were more people hurt trying
to get out of Boston Flora's inky black parlor than
would have been heard if the loan Bendit had fired

(45:06):
his gun. But enough of us made our horses and
lit out after him to make the chase worthwhile. We
circle around through Santa Fe straight cut through Nugget Alley,
and that brought us face to face with the bridge
over the creek. That is, face to face with what
was left of the bridge, because there was no question

(45:27):
about it. The bridge was downy hold a man, isn't
there a damn upstream by the smellder, Sheriff, we can
get across that.

Speaker 33 (45:39):
Yeah, come on, let's go before that low down sneak
and no good gets away.

Speaker 37 (45:42):
Now wait a minute, money.

Speaker 35 (45:43):
I've been Now, this is no time to think, Sheriff.
We've got to get after that cuss before we gets
hold on his head.

Speaker 37 (45:49):
We ain't going after that cut.

Speaker 15 (45:51):
What what do you mean you're not going after.

Speaker 37 (45:54):
Him, we all stop and figured out yourself. We go
after him and get in town on the other side
of the creek. Then we gotta admit what happened that
one solitary south of the border of arment stuck up
a sheriff, two marshals and a half a dozen deputies
and got away with it?

Speaker 33 (46:10):
Why, you bald headed old fossil. No one's stealing my
wife's jewelry and going scott free. Who said anything about him.

Speaker 37 (46:17):
Going scott free? We got a good look at him,
and between us being most every lawman for fifty miles around,
we'll catch up with him sooner or later.

Speaker 15 (46:25):
Curt, are you serious?

Speaker 22 (46:26):
I sure am, Chad.

Speaker 37 (46:27):
What's worth a few thousand dollars we lost? Not to
make fools of herself.

Speaker 33 (46:31):
I'll be blamed to flee and Flora are gonna suffer
because you're a bunch of not heads. I'm gonna cross
that creek if I have to swim at myself.

Speaker 15 (46:39):
Dog on it.

Speaker 37 (46:39):
Money now, don't go flying off a handle.

Speaker 33 (46:41):
If you get your hands off a.

Speaker 15 (46:42):
Man, let go, sheriff. If money wants to go, you've
got no right to stop.

Speaker 22 (46:46):
You keep out this Chad, you don't live here like
we do.

Speaker 33 (46:48):
Sheriff, are you gonna let me go?

Speaker 12 (46:50):
You dog? All right?

Speaker 35 (46:51):
I'm not okay, then, Money, that was a mistake. Hitting
the sheriff with that horseshoe ring on your hand.

Speaker 33 (47:01):
Well, it serves the old goat ride.

Speaker 15 (47:04):
And I got an idea that this will serve you right.

Speaker 35 (47:10):
All right, Money, you want to exercise your fingers less
and your arms more. All right, Phil, let's take this
overdressed gambler back to his wife. We're not going to
catch the gent who pulled that hold up tonight, but

(47:32):
we can sure do a lot of talking.

Speaker 41 (47:34):
Oh, we'll return to the second act of Lady Luck
our exciting Frontier Town adventure in just a few moments.

Speaker 15 (48:21):
And now Frontier Town, well, there's no use alibiing.

Speaker 35 (48:32):
Now the sheriff, the marshals, the deputies, and the Frontier
town lawyer had all been caught flat footed by a
mighty clever crook or was it crooks?

Speaker 22 (48:45):
Somehow?

Speaker 35 (48:46):
When I started to get my senses together again, it
didn't seem that just one man, all alone, could have
conceived that scheme and done.

Speaker 15 (48:53):
All of the execution that was necessary.

Speaker 35 (48:56):
So, after getting back to the main part of town,
going into saloons and finding Cherokee in the fifth Cherokee,
the sheriff and I put our heads together down at
the Sheriff's office.

Speaker 22 (49:07):
By the whiskers of waters. Awnker Willie Chad, you'll pardon
my levity, but this is really a good one. The
whole offer two counties around robbed their valuable possessions.

Speaker 37 (49:17):
Yeah, going to laugh Cherokee, but I'll get that crew
teach me to my dying day. Then admitting what happened tonight, Well,
it's not just me and the other boys alone. Some
of the other men who were there, like the mayor.
They told their wives he's going to Odd Fellows meeting.
Wouldn't be good for the time to have that come
out either.

Speaker 15 (49:36):
Well I'm not a married man, Sheriff, but I can
see what you mean.

Speaker 22 (49:40):
How are you gonna stop it from getting out this
gamber you told me about this Mandy. He isn't gonna
stop screaming his head off.

Speaker 15 (49:46):
I think he's done all of his screaming for a while.

Speaker 37 (49:51):
Yeah, pretty hard for a man to scream through a
face that's all van eaged up with cork plaster. You
sure not the daylights out of in, Chad.

Speaker 15 (49:59):
And I'm sorry I did.

Speaker 22 (50:01):
Sorry.

Speaker 15 (50:01):
I wonder if Marty really would have crossed the creek
if we let him.

Speaker 22 (50:05):
He just got through saying I mean, wasn't he the one?

Speaker 35 (50:08):
Yes, he was the one who yelled his head off?
But you know it isn't always the man who screams
loudest who's hurt most.

Speaker 37 (50:15):
What do you mean, Chad?

Speaker 15 (50:17):
I don't mean to sound like a school teacher.

Speaker 35 (50:19):
But don't either one of you remember the children's story
about the man who yelled wolf?

Speaker 22 (50:23):
Of course I remember. Frankly, I don't get the connection.

Speaker 15 (50:27):
Only the do I Cherokee? Not at the moment. But
let's go back over everything that happened, step by step.

Speaker 37 (50:34):
Dad, I tell you, it's as plain as the nose
on your face, or at least on Cherokee's face.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Is it?

Speaker 28 (50:40):
Then?

Speaker 15 (50:41):
How do you account for the bridge being conveniently cut down?

Speaker 37 (50:43):
Why it's because he?

Speaker 12 (50:46):
Why?

Speaker 37 (50:47):
Why so many muster?

Speaker 15 (50:50):
How did it happen exactly? You and I had crossed
the bridge not half an hour before, and it seemed
to be all right.

Speaker 22 (50:57):
What's that got to do with Marty yelling wolf?

Speaker 2 (50:59):
Wolf?

Speaker 15 (51:00):
It may be more like fox fox than wolf wolf,
who more.

Speaker 37 (51:03):
Like skunk skunk? If he asked me dirty Robin.

Speaker 35 (51:07):
Polecatcher, he remarks, her immaterial, irrelevant and probably true. But
let's look at the facts. Who organized this party of
appreciation for the peace officers?

Speaker 22 (51:18):
Why he told you before Boston Flora and her husband.

Speaker 35 (51:21):
Right now, granting for a moment that Flora and Monty
had planned the little affair. Don't you think they knew
beforehand that the sheriff and the marshals wouldn't want to
publicly admit they'd been made fools of Yeah.

Speaker 37 (51:33):
But then why would Monty get in a fight with
me and risk going to jail because he wanted to
follow the crook?

Speaker 15 (51:38):
Because you couldn't have put him in jail for wanting
to do what you should have done.

Speaker 35 (51:43):
In fact, if he were so inclined, he could probably
put you in jail for malfeasance in office.

Speaker 37 (51:48):
They jumping gumdrops. I never thought of that, But him
and his women still had her jewelry stoolen. They knew
denying that sheriff, right, Chad, It was more who was
the crook? No one's ever seen him in Banana City before,
probably just come up crossery of grand.

Speaker 15 (52:06):
You're convinced he's a Mexican, aren't you sure?

Speaker 37 (52:08):
Well naturally, I eh, you're gonna tell me he ain't
a Mexican.

Speaker 35 (52:14):
The only Mexicans I ever heard talk and act like
that were in stage plays. In stage play, you heard me, Obannon,
If I'm not mistaken. There's a traveling ten show about
to open in Bonanza City this week.

Speaker 37 (52:26):
Well, I'll be kicked by a muley cow. You mean
you think Many and Flora hired this actor, and the
whole thing was put up job.

Speaker 15 (52:36):
The whole thing, including cutting down the bridge.

Speaker 37 (52:39):
But great shakes alive, Chad, it's local, it's wild. How
do you ever expect to prove a thing like.

Speaker 35 (52:45):
That by taking advantage of the fact that Cherokee wasn't
over at Boston Flora's with us earlier this evening.

Speaker 22 (52:50):
Now, hold on there, Chad. If you think you're gonna
make a guinea pick out of.

Speaker 35 (52:54):
Me, and well, making a guinea pig out of you
won't be too hard, Cherokee. The plot that's going to
take a bit of doing is turning Manty and Boston
Flora into a pair of jailbirds. Well, Cherokee squirmed and

(53:17):
wriggled and bucked like a sunfishing bronc, but with enough
money in his jeans to cut a fancied figure. At
Boston Flora's Bar next afternoon, found Cherokee on the other
side of the creek, leaning across the mahogany.

Speaker 22 (53:31):
And here your boy met him up for the house.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
Don't you think it's time the house sets him up
for you?

Speaker 22 (53:40):
Madam? I'm not a man to turn down a tin room.
But at the same time I'm not a man to
quibble over a few measly dollars. I am prominently amply
provided with a Warwick all to enjoy my shoft you
would be gracious enough to join me. I'd like to
buy you some champagne I.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
Mine.

Speaker 42 (54:00):
If you do, jolly, bring a bottle of Palmroy over
the table by the window.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
Come on, see you and I sit down?

Speaker 22 (54:20):
Alright? What's a miner? Why are you staring at me?

Speaker 12 (54:24):
You get up?

Speaker 4 (54:26):
You don't look like a prospector or a miner.

Speaker 22 (54:28):
Why, dear lady, there's a good reason for that. I'm
not a prospector or a miner.

Speaker 42 (54:34):
Must of the men around here with money get it
out of the mines. When you can get yours, madam.

Speaker 22 (54:42):
I'm a salesman, a salesman, a jewelry salesman. I don't
ask me when I get my little bobbles why some
of them come from Tiffany's in New York.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
I don't get you. I don't get you at all.

Speaker 22 (54:56):
Well, I found that there are a certain group of
ladies working in the mining cam I'm here in the west.
He wished to put their their savings and commodities like
fine diamonds, which never depreciates and value and parly have
an eye toward a rainy day. For example, a woman
of your beauty and talent should own jewelry.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
Wait a minute, money, money, come over and sit down, Laura.

Speaker 33 (55:26):
Hell, what's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (55:29):
He says, he's a jewelry salesman.

Speaker 22 (55:31):
Oh, and I can sell you flawless diamonds at less
than fifty cents on the dollar.

Speaker 15 (55:36):
Oh you can. Uh?

Speaker 33 (55:39):
Why do you pick up boggins like that?

Speaker 22 (55:42):
Let's let's just see that. I well, let's just say
that I picked them up.

Speaker 15 (55:47):
What are you fence crudely?

Speaker 22 (55:50):
Yeah, you want a deal?

Speaker 42 (55:53):
Well, honey, no, thanks, but money lots of day flora.
But I oh, never mind, sorry, I asked you all, Marty.

Speaker 33 (56:06):
Stop wasting time on that overdress saddle bumb time.

Speaker 12 (56:10):
For you to sing a song.

Speaker 42 (56:12):
Mister, I'm a played. I played my cards too fast.
Come back to night and bring some of the jewelry
with you.

Speaker 15 (56:19):
I'll handle Maty.

Speaker 42 (56:22):
Have the stuff with young being here at ten o'clock
because you and I are going to do business.

Speaker 37 (56:35):
But don't you see, Chad, that you were wrong. Monty
wouldn't even listen to buying her any jewelry.

Speaker 15 (56:40):
Which only proves that Monty thinks Flora has enough jewelry already.

Speaker 12 (56:44):
Huh.

Speaker 35 (56:44):
And if Flora has enough jewelry already, the jewelry she
allegedly lost last night wasn't lost.

Speaker 22 (56:51):
Billy Blue Blaze's Chad, why did Flora tell me to
come back tonight at ten and bring the jewelry with me?

Speaker 35 (56:56):
Because Flora has more brains than you have, and more
brains that Morty has. In fact, mister O'Bannon, I'm convinced
that Flora has more brains than you and Marty have
put together.

Speaker 4 (57:16):
Nady, you get it, may not, he's what I'm up to.

Speaker 33 (57:21):
Maybe I got a hand it to you. You're the
only woman I know who can figure out to have
your cake and eat it too.

Speaker 39 (57:28):
I'll say, anytimes she wants you can come back and
join my ten show.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Thanks, Tony, And I'm doing all right right here.

Speaker 12 (57:39):
Now.

Speaker 4 (57:39):
You understand everything, Tony, don't you.

Speaker 39 (57:42):
You seem to forget your old partner. Baby, I'm the
quickest study in show business. And when I make this
jewelry salesman outside and stick this gun and his ribs
and I say, senor, you put their hands up quick,
You'll have his diamonds and your money ankle all at
the scene.

Speaker 33 (58:02):
The great part of it is the only squawk the
sucker will have won't be about his diamonds, And all
he'd be able to do is run to the sheriff
and a holler about his money.

Speaker 42 (58:12):
I don't imagine that stoneheaded Sheriff's gonna do anything about that,
because he might be afraid we'd tell what suckers We
made it a lot of him?

Speaker 35 (58:21):
Who was the Chuckerkey, keep an eye on the outside,
right your d leave.

Speaker 17 (58:27):
It to me.

Speaker 37 (58:28):
You up to any I'm up to throw on the
three of you in the Calabou shesh what we heard
every word you said.

Speaker 4 (58:35):
You know what's that manners to point to the lady
with a gun.

Speaker 37 (58:39):
You're all right, quitch doll the Flora.

Speaker 4 (58:40):
Let's get gold by of course, Sheriff. If you say money,
come on.

Speaker 22 (58:46):
Flickr.

Speaker 15 (58:47):
It a nice go on, Sheriff. I see you got
the so called actor. What about me?

Speaker 22 (59:08):
Didn't I get my man or a woman? What did
you hit her with a chair? How chad for shame?
You know, I'm too much of a gentleman to hit
a woman on a chair. I hit it with something soft.
I hit her with the post of sofa.

Speaker 35 (59:32):
Cherokee, Sheriff body and I and all the lormen for
two counties around. Certainly, oh you will vote of thanks
for your help in getting the goods on Flora, the
Funny the Boston bad woman hire.

Speaker 22 (59:42):
Thanks behaving. After all I went through, I would imagine
that somebody at least would offer to buy me a
bottle of Bourbon O'Bannon.

Speaker 35 (59:49):
Don't you realize you're going to come to a premature
death with all that Berman you take on board?

Speaker 22 (59:53):
Ah, that's absolutely ridiculous. Bourbon's the safest thinking in the world.
Scott's is dangers.

Speaker 15 (01:00:00):
It is a venom, And how do you figure that.

Speaker 22 (01:00:04):
My Chad. Don't you see a man who drinks scotches
have to end up getting chills.

Speaker 29 (01:13:36):
The chairs luck quieter in the here than it was
last night.

Speaker 45 (01:13:39):
Yeah, when those cattle drives hit, I sometimes wonder that's
worth it.

Speaker 29 (01:13:43):
And you make a lot of money off those cowboys.

Speaker 45 (01:13:46):
I have to spend most of it putting the place
back together again after they.

Go, well, no, they didn't do so bad last night, Kitty,
see somebody, it looks pretty good around here.

Speaker 12 (01:13:56):

But yeah, he speaks very quietly.

Speaker 29 (01:14:37):
Yeah yeah, he's a white alright.

Speaker 45 (01:14:43):
Well, I wish it's good manners to make him take
that rope off before he comes in here.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
It gives me the creeps matter and it would be
good for business. I don't care if it is or
not Christmas.

says I'm I can't wear a rope. Well, my hope
whoever he's waiting for it comes along so we can
stop coming in here and looking around every day. The
one drink your by is isn't worth it?

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Hi, Maybe you'll recall this tuneful reminder of times past.

(01:16:27):
This is Dennis James with something else worth remembering.

Speaker 29 (01:16:30):
It's this.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
You're so right to stay regular with Kellogg's All Brand.
See it's the normal, natural way to useful regularity. The
whole brand content of Kellogg's All Brand supplies your system
with all the bulk forming food that you need every day.
There's only one all brand. It's Kellogg's All Brand. So
relieve a regularity from lack of bulk, as Midians do

(01:16:53):
with a bowlful of Kellogg's All.

Speaker 32 (01:16:55):
Brand each morning.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
A double L hyphen b R A and it's Kellogg's
All Brand.

Speaker 29 (01:17:20):
Uh, mister Dolby, huh, Oh.

It's you again, Yes, sir, I'm glad to see you.

Speaker 16 (01:17:27):

Speaker 29 (01:17:28):
Oh, I remember you? All right?

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
Well, then, I guess you recall I've been asking after a.

Speaker 16 (01:17:34):

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
Been asking every day. A big fella, tall, straight fella
name of Kreole. That's who I've been Yes, yes, I remember,
mister Doby.

I figured maybe you'd tell.

Speaker 12 (01:17:50):
Me what room he was in.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
Now you listen here, I heard on the street out
there that a fella like that come in here last night.
A lot of folks come to dodge her.

something I'd like to ask you about. If you had firewads,

(01:19:59):
have you seen much of a Cloyd.

Speaker 29 (01:20:01):
Fella that has been wandering around town?

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
Clo Oh yeah, sure, I've seen everybody has. He's in
and out every place in town every day.

Speaker 29 (01:20:08):
Not anymore.

Speaker 13 (01:20:10):
I don't even uh, what do you mean?

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
Al he's found what he's looking for. A man named
Creole came into town night before last. Now Cloyd only
goes in and out of the places Creole goes, Oh,
sticks right with him?

Speaker 29 (01:20:24):
Does he man like a leech? M?

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
What do you wanna ask me if a man like
Cloyd will really make a move or if he'll just
talk about it? Well, you mean make a move against Creole?

Speaker 29 (01:20:39):
Yeah, he says he's gonna hang him.

Speaker 12 (01:20:41):
You know. M.

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
He's choosing a hard way of doing things. And yeah,
that's why I wonder if he'll ever be anything to it.
He's quiet and polite and hasn't caused any trouble, But
he says he's going to and he where's that blasted rope?

Speaker 29 (01:20:56):
Night and day?

Speaker 16 (01:20:57):
Mm.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
He doesn't seem to be any hurry, does he. He's
got a reason for that too, And he says he
has to wait until this man Creole admits to whatever
he's done, then he's gonna hang him.

Speaker 17 (01:21:12):
M M.

Speaker 29 (01:21:13):
You think he'll ever do anything?

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
But well, I don't know, man, I honestly don't know.

Speaker 27 (01:21:18):
These kind of things can.

Speaker 12 (01:21:19):

mighty unnatural sight now? Of them two walking all over town,

Speaker 16 (01:22:38):
Yeah, sure it does.

Speaker 2 (01:22:40):
If that fella creole, i'd have to say something, and
that's what Cloyd wants him to do. Say something, Miss Dun.
You really believe that Floyd fella has anything on him
like he says he does.

I ring strong, hard, cold, Come on, come on, sit.

Speaker 32 (01:26:53):
I was alright with him, wasn't it, cree I told
you to shut up. Alright.

Speaker 16 (01:26:58):
Ain't my mess.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
But if it was, how to handle it by now,
I wouldn't have let no crazy man with a rope
chase me all over time.

Speaker 16 (01:27:06):
He don't have to let me follow him.

Speaker 13 (01:27:09):
You hear what he says, crill.

Speaker 16 (01:27:11):
He says, you don't have to put up with it.

Speaker 13 (01:27:13):
You stay out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
All you have to do is talk, mister Crele, and
it'll be all over, all right, all.

Speaker 12 (01:27:20):
Right, I'll talk. I talk good.

Speaker 2 (01:27:23):
You've been following me around ever since I left Missouri.
Now you ain't gonna do it no more?

Speaker 12 (01:27:30):
Do you hear me?

Speaker 33 (01:27:31):
You ain't gonna do it no more.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
All you gotta do mister Creele is telling me you
killed her.

Speaker 16 (01:27:36):
Then it'll be over. Oh. I never lying there in
her coffin. She told me you did.

Speaker 32 (01:27:41):
Oh it's crazy.

Speaker 16 (01:27:42):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:27:42):
It may sound crazy to you, but it ain't crazy
to me, and it ain't crazy to her. And either
I watched her all the time, mister Creele, I wasn't
big enough, and strong enough for her to look at
you Mary like she did you, mister creele. But I
watched her all the time. You watch. I see you
come home drunks lots of times, and I seen her
run from you too.

Speaker 16 (01:28:01):
Not just once.

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
I've seen her run and hide, and I heard her.
If you don't know nothing what went on between us,
I do, mister creeve. I know I wasn't good enough
for her to marry, but I watched over her just
the same.

Speaker 16 (01:28:12):
And I know you killed her just like you got up.

Speaker 12 (01:28:16):
I never heard it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
I wasn't good enough for her to marry, but I
was the one she spoke to from her coffee.

Speaker 15 (01:28:21):
Will you hear that?

Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
I was the one she told to follow you until
you spoke about it, until you told out how.

Speaker 16 (01:28:27):
You killed her her.

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
And you're following me around just to hear me say
that that's right, all right there, all right, if that's
what it is, I killed her, all right now, you
just take your rope and you go, hope right belongs
hang off me.

Speaker 12 (01:28:47):
Ain't never coming. Somebody helped me kick this rope.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
With me, and you just played there right down there
where I put you. You ain't had no call following
me around all over the country, wearing a room like
you were sent from the devil. It ain't ever been
none of your business what I've done to her. I
ain't got pictures, so you don't do no more talking

(01:29:15):
about it.

Speaker 29 (01:29:15):
I don't think you need to worry. Clear, I think
he's dying. Now you better get out of here for
the Marshall comings. I ain't heard nobody gonna take me.

Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
I know it, listening alright, hollering Reil. You ain't taking me, Marshall.

Speaker 29 (01:29:42):
He's dead.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
Marshall.

Speaker 16 (01:29:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 29 (01:29:47):
Somebody got a chest heir with him, said sure, Marshall.
I'll give him.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):

Speaker 29 (01:30:25):
He won't have to crills that, you know, but.

Speaker 16 (01:30:32):

Speaker 29 (01:30:36):
Alright.

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
It's a good rope, Marshall.

Speaker 29 (01:30:40):
It's a true rope.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
And made him speak his guilt. A man should speak
his guilt.

Speaker 5 (01:30:49):
Marshall.

Speaker 29 (01:30:51):
Yeah, if he's guilty, he was guilty.

Speaker 2 (01:30:57):
Monshall, just like he used a gun, just like he
used it on me.

Speaker 29 (01:31:06):
It's you.

Speaker 16 (01:31:09):
You see that I have a rope. Marshall.

Speaker 29 (01:31:14):

City to San Francisco for an episode of Have Gun
Will Travel.

Speaker 21 (01:32:30):
Keep Your Guard Up. That's the key slogan of the
nineteen fifty National Guard recruiting drive, and it's a slogan
as timely as today's headlines. More than ever before, America
stands prepared, and the National Guard must recruit approximately two
hundred and twenty thousand men as soon as possible. By
joining the National Guard, young men will have the advantage
of choosing their own unit and preparing themselves for promotion

(01:32:51):
by being in a job for which they are best qualified.
Investigate the National Guard, now help America to keep up
its guard.

Speaker 6 (01:32:59):
We continue now on Classic Radio Theater with Wyatt Cox
with another wonderful edition of John Dayner as Paladin, Have
Gone We'll Travel sixty five years ago today, August fourteenth,
nineteen sixty trying to get an organ through a war.

Speaker 47 (01:33:15):
Yeah, the revolution is over, but it's still a long
way from here to the mission. If we're going to
get the organ back in time, we'd better get started.

Speaker 46 (01:33:48):
Have Gone, We'll Travel, starring mister John Dayner as Paladin. Francisco,
eighteen seventy five, The Carlton Hotel, headquarters of a man
called Paladin. O.

Speaker 48 (01:34:14):
Miss Wang, miss Wang.

Speaker 6 (01:34:16):
Wait, hey boy, miss Wang.

Speaker 17 (01:34:19):
Very busy today, big party and hotel last night.

Speaker 15 (01:34:22):
Makes so much work.

Speaker 48 (01:34:23):
But Missy Wong look a lot upon mister Paladin.

Speaker 30 (01:34:26):
Oh, mister paladon working.

Speaker 46 (01:34:29):
Wait you read a lot of hey boy?

Speaker 22 (01:34:39):
A hey boy?

Speaker 40 (01:34:40):
Missy and hey boy, you and me.

Speaker 48 (01:34:43):
After I finished my business in Laredo, I came here
to San Xavier mission to see my friend father or two.
Had hoped to be able to lie in the hammock
and lovely garden here and get good rest. But I
am afraid won't be time for that, as I've offered
to uh everyone for the good father. However, I planned

(01:35:04):
to be back in San Francisco in time for the
opera ball.

Speaker 20 (01:35:07):
But hey boy, opera ball last night.

Speaker 48 (01:35:10):
Oh that's right, that's right. Oh look me and missy one,
peez date. Mister paradn't write this. Let a long time ago.
Take a long time to get here.

Speaker 40 (01:35:22):
What happened?

Speaker 48 (01:35:22):
You suppose you don't get home?

Speaker 17 (01:35:24):
Oh, poor mister Paladan.

Speaker 48 (01:35:27):
Miss oh, mister Paradin, don't mind missing opera ball. He
go to lots of parties.

Speaker 17 (01:35:34):
One mean, poor mister Paladan, he never had time to
rest in hammock.

Speaker 49 (01:35:53):
That's a warning signal for all drivers, and that can
be a warning signal for drowsy drivers on long monotonous trips.
You see, driving can make you drowsy no matter how
much sleep you get, and driving and dozing just don't mix.
Why take chances. Take No Dose Stay Awake tablets millions

(01:36:14):
of times a year. Safe no dose keeps drivers awake
and alert, helps you bounce back so that you feel sharp,
ready for any emergency. How does no does do it?
Ask your doctor. He'll tell you that no dose contains
a safe and accurate amount of caffeine, the same refreshing
stimulant you get in your coffee or tea, but safe.
No dose acts faster, is handier, and more reliable. Best

(01:36:36):
of all, it is not habit forming, and no dose
is so safe it is legally sold on a national
basis without a prescription. Get no Dose Stay Awake tablets
to help you stay awake and alert. It could save
your life.

Speaker 47 (01:37:01):
I had made the offer to Father O'Toole to see
that an organ, a gift to his church, was delivered
from the Gulf of Mexico to his San Xavier mission.
I was accompanied by Tono, a fine young Indian who
had been reared in the mission. The wagon road we
had to follow led us through the war zone of
a revolution that was in progress. But Father O'Toole was

(01:37:21):
well known and well loved, and I was sure that
an explanation of our trip would grant us safe conduct.
I didn't know, of course, that confusion at the customs
house loading docks but result in a switching of crates
so that instead of the organ we were hauling rifles
intended for the government militian. Things were looking pretty grim
for a while after we were halted by the People's

(01:37:43):
Army and sentenced to be shot.

Speaker 5 (01:37:44):
For aiding the enemy.

Speaker 47 (01:37:46):
But with some quick thinking, fast talking, and decisive action,
it seemed that now we had the situation.

Speaker 5 (01:37:53):
Well in half.

Speaker 3 (01:37:57):
It looks like we have this wony revolution.

Speaker 5 (01:37:59):
Yes, Totah, I guess it's all over but the shouting.

Speaker 47 (01:38:02):
But we better get puncho and move out of here
fast before somebody decides it's time for another uplase.

Speaker 50 (01:38:07):
Here comes General Perez Senor. Well generally, Senor, you are
the herald of the day. Oh no, there was nothing general,
just a simple matter of cutting down the odds. The
militia was well armed and your boys weren't. That makes
it a little difficult to win a war.

Speaker 12 (01:38:22):
See.

Speaker 51 (01:38:22):
But what is this miracle you performed from my poor
little army that rifles of the militia fire back?

Speaker 47 (01:38:28):
Well, Tono and I ram the barrels of their rifles
with adobe mud alas, I.

Speaker 5 (01:38:35):
Beg your pardon.

Speaker 40 (01:38:36):
It's such superb military strategy.

Speaker 3 (01:38:39):
We were lucky that the soldiers of the militia sleep
so soundly during their siesta.

Speaker 51 (01:38:43):
It is a moment of glory for the rebel Toosos,
the army of the people. You said you're on your CAMPANGIERO,
will please to join in celebration of Victor.

Speaker 5 (01:38:52):
Oh well, thank you, General, but we don't have time.

Speaker 47 (01:38:55):
When you and your men stopped our wagon and I
told you I was hauling an organ to Sansavia, Miss well,
I was telling you the truth.

Speaker 3 (01:39:01):
But the organ was delivered here to the militia.

Speaker 47 (01:39:04):
It is here now, Oh yes, we found it all right.
It's in that little stone jail over there.

Speaker 5 (01:39:08):
What these organs are doing in jail?

Speaker 47 (01:39:10):
Well, the cell is jointly occupied by the organ and
the man who delivered him. I believe he was scheduled
to meet the firing squad. The militia didn't take kindly
to uncreating an organ when it expected rifles or supuesto.

Speaker 51 (01:39:23):
Of course, I shall say that the ORGANO is released
to you, senor, or say, General, I'd like to have
the prisoner too, if you don't mind you want this prison,
I'm afraid so.

Speaker 5 (01:39:34):
His name is Pancho. I had a little run in
with him at Matamoros.

Speaker 47 (01:39:38):
I don't think I trust him any further than I
can throw that organ, but he can play it, and
we may need him.

Speaker 20 (01:39:45):
This becomes confusing, Signor you.

Speaker 3 (01:39:47):
See, General Father O'Toole is counting on having this organ
for Mass when the bishop visits San Xavier, but no
one in the parish knows how to play it.

Speaker 47 (01:39:55):
Just before the battle, we were hiding back at the
jail there and we heard Pancho play very well too,
So I figure, if it's all right with you, we'll
just deliver him along with.

Speaker 20 (01:40:05):
The organ, just as you like, senn arm.

Speaker 40 (01:40:08):
We are in your death, Senor Fallas.

Speaker 52 (01:40:20):
And these are fine horses the General took from the
militia and give to you.

Speaker 5 (01:40:24):
Yes, Pancho. With the time we've lost, we never make
it whether ox team.

Speaker 29 (01:40:29):
We started with.

Speaker 3 (01:40:30):
We are lucky. Horses are hard to come by in
this part of the country.

Speaker 52 (01:40:33):
Fewtiful animals, beautiful people, beautiful world.

Speaker 48 (01:40:37):
Pancho is glad to be alive and not date from
the firing squad.

Speaker 3 (01:40:41):
This is a lucky day, but Why were you delivering
arms to the militia, Pancho. Were you on their side?

Speaker 52 (01:40:47):
Pancho is only on the side of Pancho. I deliver
ams to the militia because the militia can pay. Make
business importante, that's all.

Speaker 5 (01:40:57):
Yeah, Well, just don't you forget our business important?

Speaker 48 (01:41:01):
Then no sor for my life.

Speaker 22 (01:41:03):
I play organ ou for the mass at the mission
of San Favier.

Speaker 3 (01:41:07):
We will be reaching the town of Roma pretty soon.

Speaker 39 (01:41:10):
I know.

Speaker 47 (01:41:11):
I think we better stop there for the night. I
don't like to take the time, but the horses need
the rest.

Speaker 40 (01:41:16):
Roma.

Speaker 22 (01:41:17):
I know this down.

Speaker 52 (01:41:19):
I think maybe because this is a look we day
for Pancho, I'll sit for a short time at a
game of chance.

Speaker 47 (01:41:26):
You don't press your luck too far, Pancho. Clerk, Hey, clerk, clerk.

Speaker 3 (01:41:45):
Mister Peladon, mister Peladin, I'll.

Speaker 5 (01:41:47):
Be with you in a moment, Tono, as soon as
I settle up for the hotel.

Speaker 15 (01:41:50):
No, no, come quick, what is it?

Speaker 3 (01:41:52):
Our organ crate is sitting out there in front of
the hotel.

Speaker 5 (01:41:54):
What can't be it's on the wagon down delivery.

Speaker 3 (01:41:56):
No, it's out there on the boardwalk and a man
is driving off with our horses and wagon. Yes, you
see there? There he is down the street.

Speaker 12 (01:42:06):
Hey, hey, stop you here, you?

Speaker 22 (01:42:11):
Oh stop there?

Speaker 20 (01:42:16):
Now, what's your trouble?

Speaker 29 (01:42:18):
Friend?

Speaker 5 (01:42:18):
Mister horse stealing is a pretty serious manner.

Speaker 20 (01:42:21):
Well, now, don't that beat all.

Speaker 47 (01:42:23):
Climb down off that wagon, say what's eating you? This
happens to be my team and wagon you're driving.

Speaker 20 (01:42:28):
Oh no, it ain't. It's mine. How do you figure
it's mine? On account of four of a kind? Beat
as straight?

Speaker 5 (01:42:34):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 20 (01:42:35):
I win this outfit fairn square in a poker game.

Speaker 5 (01:42:38):
I'm afraid that's a lie. This is my outfit.

Speaker 20 (01:42:41):
Now, looky here, mister you.

Speaker 5 (01:42:43):
Climb down off that wagon.

Speaker 20 (01:42:45):
I'm just gonna do that, and you're gonna be sorry.
Steve Perkins, don't take likely to being called a lie
on a horse leaf.

Speaker 12 (01:42:54):
Now, mister Pality, that's for the lie you.

Speaker 20 (01:43:01):
It looks like I gotta wamp you again.

Speaker 5 (01:43:03):
Oh no, I don't think stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:43:07):
That was some punch Yeah, looks like he's out for
a while, mister Pelladin. That's the man who was playing
cards with Puncho last night.

Speaker 5 (01:43:16):
Puncho, of course I should have thought of that. Where
is Puncho?

Speaker 3 (01:43:22):
I couldn't find him this morning. He didn't sleep in
his room last night.

Speaker 5 (01:43:25):
I guess he figured his luck ran out and he'd
better run out too. I'm a plate ioe with this man.

Speaker 47 (01:43:29):
An apology, Well, tono, we hadn't time to argue the
fine points of this thing.

Speaker 3 (01:43:33):
Why what are we going to do?

Speaker 5 (01:43:35):
Get some rope out of the wagon there rope?

Speaker 47 (01:43:37):
Yes, we're gonna tie this fellow up, shove a gag
in his mouth, and then load him and the organ
and the wagon and get on our way.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
Why do we take him?

Speaker 47 (01:43:43):
Well, it's his outfit. He win it fair in the
squar as he said. But I'm afraid we're gonna have
to borrow it, whether he likes it or not.

Speaker 3 (01:44:00):
M Well, at least Poncho didn't gamble the organ.

Speaker 5 (01:44:08):
It's probably saving it for the next hand.

Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
But now we're back where we were, nobody to play
for mass No, we'll worry.

Speaker 5 (01:44:16):
About that later.

Speaker 9 (01:44:19):
There he is again.

Speaker 5 (01:44:21):
I guess I better un tie him, and I hope
he decides to be reasonable about this.

Speaker 3 (01:44:25):
I wouldn't count on it.

Speaker 5 (01:44:26):
No, I'm afraid he has a point. Who now, uh say, Perkins?

Speaker 47 (01:44:37):
Look, look, Perkins, I'm sorry we had to SHANGHI you
like this, but we needed the wagon and there wasn't
time to argue you whether Poncho had a right to
bet it or not. I well, I guess it's yours.
We'll pay you for this trip, but we have to
get the San Xavier mission. Climb on back there, Tono

(01:44:58):
and take the gag off him.

Speaker 3 (01:44:59):
Sure here, sir, just let me untie you here there.

Speaker 5 (01:45:06):
You don't say it, or you'll stay tied up.

Speaker 20 (01:45:13):
H all right, you win. Let me tell you. The
only reason Steve Perkins is standing still for this kind
of shoving around is yeah, because I was headed toward
the mission anyway you were. Yeah, they got one of
them fiesta things going on in town there. You listen,
pretty good betting money floating around at them celebrations.

Speaker 5 (01:45:34):
Are you a professional gambler?

Speaker 29 (01:45:36):
Oh?

Speaker 20 (01:45:36):
I wouldn't say that exactly, but I managed to pick
up a little change here and there. When I win
these horses, I figure to take them to the fiesta
and race.

Speaker 5 (01:45:44):
Them our horses, my horses.

Speaker 20 (01:45:47):
And don't forget it, mister, you don't know horseflesh. They
ain't hauling horses, they're running horses.

Speaker 47 (01:45:54):
It doesn't matter if they'll just get this organ to
send savior. I'll be satisfying.

Speaker 17 (01:45:59):
I am.

Speaker 9 (01:46:00):
Tono almost there, Tono, Yes, it's been quite a trip.

Speaker 20 (01:46:16):
It was so special about this here organ.

Speaker 5 (01:46:18):
It was a gift to the mission. Father O'Toole is
very anxious to have it. When the bishop visits Sonsaba.

Speaker 3 (01:46:24):
He'll have it, it seems, but there is no one
to play it. Hey, Tono, yes, you engine, ain't you?

Speaker 20 (01:46:30):
Yes? How come you don't dress like an engine?

Speaker 15 (01:46:33):
Oh?

Speaker 20 (01:46:33):
Or talk like an engine.

Speaker 3 (01:46:35):
I was raised at the Mission and went to American schools.

Speaker 5 (01:46:38):
Oh, I see.

Speaker 12 (01:46:40):
Well?

Speaker 20 (01:46:41):
Now look you over there, figure, that's some of your kinfolk.

Speaker 5 (01:46:45):
A band of Indians on horseback.

Speaker 3 (01:46:49):
They are Navajo.

Speaker 9 (01:46:50):
That is my tribe.

Speaker 15 (01:46:52):
Where hoddy like that?

Speaker 20 (01:46:54):
Look they got a rope round at Feller's neck. They're
leaving them behind their horses.

Speaker 5 (01:47:00):
Hey, that looks like punchoo.

Speaker 3 (01:47:03):
Mister Peladan, it is Puncho, I say it.

Speaker 20 (01:47:07):
That's the fella I played poker with.

Speaker 5 (01:47:09):
What kind of business important? Do you suppose he tried
this time?

Speaker 32 (01:47:13):
Tono?

Speaker 12 (01:47:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:47:15):
But he can't play the organ?

Speaker 5 (01:47:17):
Oh, yes, yes he can. Well, I suppose you better
go see what we can do. For him.

Speaker 22 (01:47:22):
You are not you are.

Speaker 46 (01:47:38):
And now here are Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.

Speaker 53 (01:47:41):
Bergie, I think someone's looking for you, Oh, mister Bergin, Well, hello,
Effie Clinker.

Speaker 48 (01:47:47):
What's wrong?

Speaker 53 (01:47:48):
My car batteries run down?

Speaker 37 (01:47:50):
I think it's an acid condition.

Speaker 32 (01:47:51):
Oh, I see. Well have you seen a serviceman?

Speaker 22 (01:47:54):
Well, I had a.

Speaker 17 (01:47:55):
Blind name with a sailor last night, but he got away.

Speaker 53 (01:48:00):
No, I mean a mechanic. Seeing you own a General
Motors car, you should see your GM dealer for service.
His mechanics are GM trained. They have specialized tools and
factory approoved parts to provide your fine GM car with
a gmcare it deserves. So if you own a Chevrolet
car or truck, a Pontiac, an Oldsmobile, Buick, Cadillac, or

(01:48:21):
a GMC truck, you should make a date with a
General Motors serviceman. Oh that sounds exciting.

Speaker 32 (01:48:28):
Will you have blue eyes?

Speaker 5 (01:48:45):
What's the story, tono? What the Indians say?

Speaker 3 (01:48:48):
Well, as near as I can tell, Poncho wandered into
the Indian camp this morning and offered to trade some
cattle for a horse.

Speaker 29 (01:48:55):
Cattle.

Speaker 3 (01:48:56):
Yes, but it turned out the cattle he traded already
belonged to the Indians. It was some stock they had
turned out to.

Speaker 20 (01:49:03):
Grays say, he's some slick fella, ain't.

Speaker 5 (01:49:06):
He never quite slick enough? What now, Tona, What are
they going to do with him?

Speaker 3 (01:49:12):
This is small band of Navajo. They have set up
a camp just beyond the missions. They want no trouble. Yeah,
they are willing to release Poncho, but they insist he
must walk to the mission that way with the rope
around his neck, following the horses.

Speaker 5 (01:49:25):
How fire is the mission from here twelve miles seems
a little cruel.

Speaker 20 (01:49:30):
Yeah, maybe not. Give that old boy some time to
figure a couple of new angles.

Speaker 5 (01:49:35):
Yeah, yeah, you could be right, Perkins. Oh, it's good
to be back in your lovely garden, father.

Speaker 48 (01:49:54):
And it's good to have you a lot.

Speaker 40 (01:49:56):
Bless you for the happiness you brought me.

Speaker 3 (01:49:58):
I'm afraid the trip took longer than we planned. I
hope you didn't worry, Father, not at all.

Speaker 32 (01:50:02):
Tone on, my son.

Speaker 54 (01:50:04):
I had my faith, you had my prayers.

Speaker 5 (01:50:06):
And they came in handy a couple of times. Father.
Will you have more lemonade?

Speaker 20 (01:50:11):
Mister Perkins, Well, no, thanks, Father, I gotta get I
got a little business to take care of business. Yeah,
you see, I gotta set me up a little race meat,
get out a few bets. Oh yeah, I gotta move
fast now, this here fiesta is gonna be over Saturday night,
so uh, I gotta get going to promote this race
meat for Sunday morning.

Speaker 48 (01:50:31):
Sunday, but that's today.

Speaker 20 (01:50:32):
The Bishop will be here. Well, dog gone, father, I
don't aim to interfere with your business.

Speaker 54 (01:50:37):
Oh loud, don't give it another thought, son, It'll work
out well. If you must go, I'll walk out with you.

Speaker 20 (01:50:44):
Well, thank you, father, but.

Speaker 48 (01:50:45):
Please now come again.

Speaker 20 (01:50:47):
Well sure, i'd be right proud to you.

Speaker 29 (01:50:49):
Father.

Speaker 12 (01:50:49):
Yeah, soon, long.

Speaker 5 (01:50:50):
Fellas see that at Perkins well Ton on. We had
a few bad moments, but it was worth. It was
meant to see Father o'tools are happy.

Speaker 29 (01:51:00):
Hm.

Speaker 5 (01:51:01):
Say, you know what I'm going to do right now.
I am going to get in that hammock and I
am going to stay there.

Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
Oh no, wait, it is not time to relax yet.

Speaker 5 (01:51:10):
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (01:51:11):
I know, Father O'Toole's flock. If Perkin sets up this racemeat,
the pews will be empty Sunday.

Speaker 32 (01:51:17):
Ah.

Speaker 5 (01:51:17):
Yeah, that's no way to impress the bishop. Maybe I
ought to talk to Perkin.

Speaker 3 (01:51:22):
No, no, I think there is another way. Come on, Oh,
where we will have to take a little trip. Uh, yes,
out to the Navajo camp. Why, mister Peladin, it hasn't
rained here in a long time. You know the dust
is about a foot deep.

Speaker 5 (01:51:37):
Well, what's that got to do with them?

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
If it should rain, the mud would be so deep
no horse could run.

Speaker 5 (01:51:44):
But it never rains this time of year out here.

Speaker 3 (01:51:47):
When I was talking to the Navajos today, I learned
that in their camp is a man I remember from
my childhood, a wonderful old medicine man. I recall that
his rain chants worked miracles. Ah, I see we must
press the bishop, of course.

Speaker 47 (01:52:03):
Look, mister Paladins, Pancho all that senor, Hey, Pancho, where
you get that horse?

Speaker 40 (01:52:11):
Puncho?

Speaker 52 (01:52:11):
Make a little business importante? Oh, beautiful world. Pancho's got
to be alive. And now Pancho come to play organo
for the mass at San Javier Mission.

Speaker 3 (01:52:34):
I think we can start now. Most of the crowd
seems to be out so.

Speaker 5 (01:52:41):
Well, Tono, I'd say the bishop's mass was quite a success.

Speaker 3 (01:52:45):
It certainly was. Look look at father o'tool at the door,
beaming at his flock as they file out.

Speaker 5 (01:52:51):
The mysterious ways of God performing his miracle.

Speaker 54 (01:52:55):
Yes, bless you my child father, ah Tonal and Palatin God, bless.

Speaker 29 (01:53:04):
You my sons.

Speaker 5 (01:53:05):
Thank you father. It was a wonderful day. It wasn't it?

Speaker 54 (01:53:08):
Oh, mytias a day I'll remember all my life.

Speaker 5 (01:53:12):
Say the bishop was impressed, wasn't he?

Speaker 32 (01:53:14):
Oh?

Speaker 22 (01:53:15):
Indeed he was?

Speaker 48 (01:53:16):
But how strange it should reign today?

Speaker 12 (01:53:37):

Ladies.

Speaker 28 (01:58:05):
There's one war job that you and only you can do.
I mean the saving of waste fats and oils. Every
drop of used fat is vitally needed for military medicines
and supplies, and for supplies on the home front, such
as fabrics, paints, and soaps. That fat has to come
from your kitchen. Don't fall down on your war job.
Save all used fats in a clean can, and the

(01:58:26):
minute the can is full, take it right down to
your butcher. He'll pay you four cents plus two red
ration points for every pound you turn in.

Speaker 6 (01:58:33):
And they were still needing fat in nineteen forty nine,
You're going to hear an episode now a Blackstone The

Speaker 30 (01:59:41):
No one seems to be here, Blackstone, mister Blackstone, please
help me, please please look.

Speaker 24 (01:59:47):
I know you're not a regular detective, but no one
else will.

Speaker 30 (01:59:50):
Listen to me, no one will believe me, mister Blackstone.

Speaker 17 (01:59:53):
I'm Alan Kant, I'm not here.

Speaker 15 (01:59:55):

No, no, I'll come on. Stop.

Speaker 2 (02:00:04):
I mean, guys don't cry like that. But there, stop it. Paul, blessed,
Thank Heaven, you're here.

Speaker 12 (02:00:13):
What's the matter, herd?

Speaker 17 (02:00:14):
You've been doing this?

Speaker 15 (02:00:15):
Poor girl?

Speaker 27 (02:00:16):
Cry like this?

Speaker 30 (02:00:17):
You want to be ashamed of yourself, and you're flexed
when you've got to help me. I know it was murder,
I know it, but the doctor says it was a
heart figure and there was no motive, and even the
autopsy didn't prove anything.

Speaker 32 (02:00:28):
I'm so afraid of Rhoda. Get miss uh Janet Gran,
get miss Grand a glass of water, and then we
see what we can do to help.

Speaker 4 (02:00:36):
Here.

Speaker 24 (02:00:38):
Thank you, thank you so much. I'm all right now.

Speaker 30 (02:00:44):
I'm sorry it was broken down like this, but you
were my last hope, and when you weren't here, I
please here now.

Speaker 32 (02:00:49):
No suppose you tell me what this is all about.

Speaker 24 (02:00:52):
Have you ever been frightened? Really frightened?

Speaker 32 (02:00:54):
I mean I certainly have. I think everyone has sometimes
in their lives.

Speaker 24 (02:00:59):
I'm frightened.

Speaker 17 (02:01:00):
No, what's the matter.

Speaker 24 (02:01:01):
You said something about murder and an autopsy? It is murder?

Speaker 32 (02:01:05):
Uh?

Speaker 24 (02:01:05):
Who was murdered my aunt Mazie.

Speaker 30 (02:01:08):
She died at midnight the day before yesterday. She went
to bed and never woke up.

Speaker 32 (02:01:13):
Was she an old woman?

Speaker 24 (02:01:15):
Yes, very well.

Speaker 32 (02:01:16):
Isn't that a perfect way to die? Just to go
to speak?

Speaker 24 (02:01:18):
She was murdered, I tell you, murdered in cold blood.

Speaker 17 (02:01:22):
I don't know how I know it, but I do.

Speaker 30 (02:01:25):
When I go into her house. There's something evil there,
something wicked and unknown and evil. You say there was
an autopsy, Yes, I had this feeling of evil so
strongly that I had an autopsy performed.

Speaker 32 (02:01:38):
But the doctors found nothing.

Speaker 24 (02:01:40):
Nothing.

Speaker 30 (02:01:41):
Who would want to kill your aunt? Who had benefit
by her dying? I'm the only person who inherited.

Speaker 24 (02:01:46):
Or did she leave very much?

Speaker 32 (02:01:48):
Very little?

Speaker 24 (02:01:49):
She'd had a great many old family.

Speaker 32 (02:01:51):
Jewels, but they're all gone, now gone. What do you
mean by that?

Speaker 30 (02:01:55):
During the last years of her life, Auntie was well eccentric.

Speaker 24 (02:01:59):
She gave away most of the jewelry. She gave it
to strangers, people who did her small favors, just anybody.
There's nothing left.

Speaker 2 (02:02:08):
Uh.

Speaker 32 (02:02:08):
Did you ever know any of the people she gave
the jewelry too?

Speaker 56 (02:02:11):
No.

Speaker 30 (02:02:12):
The only way I found out about it was when
ms Ella ask me to to try to stop her.
Ms Ella Eudy's housekeeper. Oh, only she was more than that.

Speaker 24 (02:02:20):
She was a companion, a nurse, friend, everything.

Speaker 29 (02:02:24):
Uh.

Speaker 32 (02:02:24):
She came and told you about the gifts of jewelry.

Speaker 5 (02:02:26):
Well what did you do?

Speaker 24 (02:02:27):
I went and talked to Anody about it? She denied it.
She didn't like to have a jewelry discussed.

Speaker 32 (02:02:33):
She thought you were trying to get it away from her.

Speaker 24 (02:02:35):
I wasn't, though.

Speaker 2 (02:02:36):
Uh.

Speaker 32 (02:02:36):
When was your aunt's funeral?

Speaker 30 (02:02:38):
It's tomorrow. That's why I had to come and see
you today. It's the last child.

Speaker 32 (02:02:43):
Oh could we could we see your aunt?

Speaker 16 (02:02:46):
Why?

Speaker 24 (02:02:46):
Yes, I guess. So she's lying out at the old
house now ms Ella is.

Speaker 32 (02:02:50):
Keeping what Uh get your hat rot up.

Speaker 24 (02:03:04):
And he's in there. I'll go in and tell miss
Ella that you've come good.

Speaker 29 (02:03:10):
I don't like this. That girl's right.

Speaker 32 (02:03:13):
There is a feeling of evil around here.

Speaker 17 (02:03:15):
You feel it too?

Speaker 12 (02:03:16):
Well?

Speaker 5 (02:03:17):
Quiet you too?

Speaker 24 (02:03:19):
You've come to see my mistress.

Speaker 32 (02:03:20):
Uh, yes, if we may, you must.

Speaker 24 (02:03:22):
Leave her in peace.

Speaker 30 (02:03:23):
There's been too much excitement around here that they can
rest when there's excitement.

Speaker 32 (02:03:27):
Oh, we've come to help if we can.

Speaker 24 (02:03:29):
Oh, she's past help now leave her in peace?

Speaker 17 (02:03:32):
Won't you come in?

Speaker 24 (02:03:32):
Mister Blackstone very well?

Speaker 45 (02:03:34):
Uh?

Speaker 32 (02:03:34):
Roodre you and all and wait here with miss Ella?

Speaker 30 (02:03:36):
I uh, why don't you try to rest miss Ella?
Janet and mister Blackstone are with her now.

Speaker 24 (02:03:43):
I cannot trust until my mistress rests too. She is resting.

Speaker 17 (02:03:47):
No, people won't leave her alone.

Speaker 24 (02:03:49):
There's doctors and strangers around her. She hated strangers.

Speaker 17 (02:03:53):
She wouldn't allow them near her.

Speaker 30 (02:03:54):
But Janet said she gave Juliet a strangers. She wouldn't
have done that if she hated them. Would she miss out?

Speaker 24 (02:03:59):
I don't know. She was a good woman, and now
she's gone, gone, and one's better riched I'm going back
to her now.

Speaker 29 (02:04:09):
Whoof she seems sort of wild?

Speaker 32 (02:04:11):
Yeah, she did.

Speaker 24 (02:04:13):
Who do you think we ought to do?

Speaker 30 (02:04:14):
Now?

Speaker 2 (02:04:15):
I'd say if I had my brother go home and
go to a nice, quiet horror movie to calm our nerves,
something peaceful like Dracula or Doctor Chiefler, mister.

Speaker 17 (02:04:24):
Hyde, I think we better go in there, us in there?

Speaker 2 (02:04:28):
Yes, maybe I better wait for your hair phone, my
han or something.

Speaker 24 (02:04:33):
No, sir, you're coming with me, all right, but if my.

Speaker 55 (02:04:36):
Hair turns white, I'm going to hold you personally responsible.

Speaker 17 (02:04:44):
Look over there.

Speaker 29 (02:04:45):
Yeah, they're all kneading around the coffee.

Speaker 24 (02:04:48):
Oh those candles flickering.

Speaker 17 (02:04:49):
It's terrifying. I don't like it.

Speaker 32 (02:04:52):
We who want to go to that movie? Now?

Speaker 30 (02:04:58):
The the court is she's warning, why you're killing I
tell you you did, so you can't rush.

Speaker 12 (02:05:08):
To accuse me. He cannot talk.

Speaker 32 (02:05:11):
She's accusing you, Cella. No, she says you killed her.
Look her finger, it's win.

Speaker 48 (02:05:16):
Hanging at you.

Speaker 12 (02:05:18):
Is I killed her.

Speaker 17 (02:05:20):
I killed her, and I'm glad. If I'm glad she
didn't have to die, she's cruel, cruel.

Speaker 32 (02:05:27):
I killed her, I killed Why did you kill him?
Miss Sella?

Speaker 24 (02:05:33):
She didn't need to kill her.

Speaker 37 (02:05:34):
She didn't want them, she never wore them, but they
were everything to me.

Speaker 24 (02:05:38):
And then she found out that I just told him I.

Speaker 17 (02:05:40):
Had to kill her, and so I did it.

Speaker 24 (02:05:43):
I wouldn't did it, even the doctors didn't.

Speaker 10 (02:05:45):
Know, And now she did.

Speaker 26 (02:05:49):
I'm glad that flash.

Speaker 32 (02:06:00):
Yeah, well I have one.

Speaker 29 (02:06:08):
I'm done.

Speaker 2 (02:06:09):
Happy to be back here in your studio, Blackstone. I
wish you two would stop taking me on cases.

Speaker 17 (02:06:14):
That's what you always say afterwards.

Speaker 2 (02:06:16):
Look, I don't even like to discuss the subject.

Speaker 32 (02:06:19):
But there is one thing I'd.

Speaker 17 (02:06:20):
Like to know.

Speaker 32 (02:06:21):
How I made that you sit up in her coffin
and point that fingers, miss Ella.

Speaker 2 (02:06:24):
Yeah, well, when you were a little boy, Alan, didn't
you ever attach black thread to an object and then
jug it away just as someone started.

Speaker 29 (02:06:30):
To pick it up?

Speaker 32 (02:06:31):
Yes, but what's that got to do?

Speaker 2 (02:06:33):
Some magician's tricks are based on that same principle. Only
magicians use black piano. While I tied a piece of
it to the wrist of the corpse, and when I
pulled it raised its arm and then.

Speaker 32 (02:06:43):
Started to sit up.

Speaker 17 (02:06:44):
But how did she kill her?

Speaker 2 (02:06:46):
She gave her a hypo almost every night to make
her sleep. Oh, it was easy enough to see that
an air bubble got into a vein.

Speaker 32 (02:06:51):
So that was it, And so another mystery was solved.
Bio matic boy.

Speaker 30 (02:06:57):
I'm glad there was a nice logical solution to that.
Maybe I won't have quite so many nightmares now that
I know how.

Speaker 53 (02:07:02):
It was done.

Speaker 2 (02:07:04):
Well, now we have solved one mystery, let me show
you another, the riddle of the three jacks.

Speaker 17 (02:07:09):
Oh, I see a card trick coming up.

Speaker 32 (02:07:11):
That's right, Rhoda. Well, here's the pack.

Speaker 2 (02:07:13):
Now watch me closely while I deal some cards. There's
one for you and one for me, and another here
for me, another here for me, and there's a third
card for you, Rhoder.

Speaker 32 (02:07:25):
But I'm going to use your third card, Alan to
scoop up the other two like this. I see now
you're putting my cards on the top of the pack.

Speaker 3 (02:07:34):
Why is that?

Speaker 2 (02:07:35):
Because Rhoda has three jacks. Turn them up, Roder and
see for yourself.

Speaker 17 (02:07:40):
Well, well, these are the three jacks.

Speaker 29 (02:07:42):
But but what, Roder?

Speaker 17 (02:07:44):
Well could you deal them like that again?

Speaker 29 (02:07:45):
Of course?

Speaker 2 (02:07:46):
Lay them face down on the pack there, and here
they go, one to the left, one to the right,
one to the left, one to the right, one to
the left. And with the next card, I scoop up
the two on the right and put them back on
the pack.

Speaker 17 (02:08:01):
Uh, and he's carding the left or mine? You mean
there'll be three jacks again?

Speaker 23 (02:08:06):
They are the three jacks, Roder, Look at them, Yes,
the jack.

Speaker 2 (02:08:10):
I laid them face down on the pack again, and
watch me deal slowly this time, so there can be
no trickery.

Speaker 17 (02:08:16):
One to me, one to Alan, one to me, one
to Alan.

Speaker 30 (02:08:21):
One to me.

Speaker 2 (02:08:22):
And now I use the sixth card to scoop up
Alan's other two and are my.

Speaker 24 (02:08:27):
Three cards to jacks?

Speaker 17 (02:08:28):
They are roder, but it can't be possible, but they
are the.

Speaker 32 (02:08:32):
Jacks, say Blackstone, Can anybody do that? So? Why of
course Alan?

Speaker 2 (02:08:37):
And if Proda can't think it out, in the next
few minutes, I'll be back to explain how it's done.

Speaker 30 (02:09:00):
Yeah, and now Black down, for goodness sake, tell me
how to work this impossible trick, and.

Speaker 32 (02:09:05):
How you can work it over and over again. Well,
it's very simple.

Speaker 22 (02:09:09):
You see.

Speaker 2 (02:09:09):
You use four jacks, four jacks, that's right, three on
the top, then any odd card and under that the
fourth jack.

Speaker 29 (02:09:17):
What happens?

Speaker 32 (02:09:17):
And black? So I deal one to the left, one
to the right, and so on until I come to
the last card on the right.

Speaker 2 (02:09:24):
Yes, that's the one you slide underneath so I can
pick up the other two with it and put them
back on the pack.

Speaker 17 (02:09:29):
My cards are here on the table, and I have
the three jacks.

Speaker 2 (02:09:32):
Three jacks roller only one of them was that fourth
jack you didn't know about.

Speaker 17 (02:09:37):
That's wonderful, But haven't you repeated over and over again?

Speaker 2 (02:09:40):
Well, do you remember the way I picked up the
two cards on the right. Bye, scooping them with a
third card.

Speaker 17 (02:09:46):
Yes, you did it that way every time.

Speaker 2 (02:09:47):
Well, when you put your three jacks on top of
the pack, we're right back where we started.

Speaker 32 (02:09:52):
Three jacks on the top, then an odd card, and
under that the fourth jack. So when we deal two
heaps of three, there will again be three jackson.

Speaker 17 (02:10:01):
And the left only never the same three jacks.

Speaker 2 (02:10:04):
Never the same three jacks only no one ever knows
the difference.

Speaker 32 (02:10:09):
I hope you like that trick, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (02:10:11):
And until next time, this is Blackstone saying good magic
and goodbye.

Speaker 55 (02:10:32):
Be with us next time, when the world's greatest living
magician Blackstone tells us the story of death, defying death
and explains more tricks that you yourself can perform. Listening
again to Blackstone, The world's greatest living magician.

husband has gone on a business trip to Europe. The
family's gone along.

Speaker 58 (02:12:06):
CBS Radio brings you The Couple next Door, written by
Peg Lynch and starring Peg Lynch and Alan Buns.

Speaker 4 (02:12:41):
Hello anybody?

Speaker 27 (02:12:43):
Why?

Speaker 16 (02:12:44):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (02:12:45):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (02:12:45):
Who is it?

Speaker 29 (02:12:47):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (02:12:47):
Why missus Houston?

Speaker 18 (02:12:48):
Do come in?

Speaker 17 (02:12:50):
I can't say but a minute, Missus Biden. I was
just driving past, and I thought i'd stop and see
if you'd heard from the Piper.

Speaker 18 (02:12:56):
Yes, I certainly have. I just got a letter this
morning down. I got a postcard first, with a picture
of the ship. They sailed on.

Speaker 17 (02:13:04):
Oh yes, the sun dam Edgar and I were in
New York, you know, and saw them off.

Speaker 18 (02:13:09):
Well I don't see the card, but it said something like,
well we finally made it. We're off to Europe and
having a wonderful time already.

Speaker 17 (02:13:17):
Yes, Missus Parker said she had a card like that
from them too. Then this letter came this morning.

Speaker 18 (02:13:22):
I was just reading it.

Speaker 4 (02:13:23):
I suppose they're busy sight seeing.

Speaker 18 (02:13:26):
Well, she says, we arrived in London last Friday and
it just poured for two days, so Aunt Effie and
I spent the time washing clothes. You should see the
hotel room. It looks like a laundry. This week we
expect to cover all the sites in and around London,
Westminster Abbey, Saint Paul's Cathedral, the British Museum, Hampton Court

(02:13:50):
and Windsor Castle.

Speaker 17 (02:13:51):
And then next week we hope.

Speaker 18 (02:13:52):
To rent a car and drive through the Shakespeare country.

Speaker 32 (02:13:55):
Oh that is lovely.

Speaker 24 (02:13:57):
Stratford on Even is just oh.

Speaker 1 (02:14:01):
Here, I didn't read this yet.

Speaker 17 (02:14:03):
Did Missus Houston get the keys to our house from you?

Speaker 18 (02:14:06):
I forgot my brown skirt, and she will I.

Speaker 17 (02:14:09):
Heaven, I forgot her skirt. I was to mail it
to her in London. Edgar's been sick and I just
forgot I'll do that at once. Oh goodness, I hope
you haven't needed it.

Speaker 7 (02:14:25):
Well.

Speaker 58 (02:14:29):
He's a familiar sort of fellow, A nice guy. His
manner is appable, his temper serene. He is conspicuously considerate
of others. Then then he climbs into the family automobile. Immediately,
the casual observer notes a none too subtle change steal
over him. His eyes narrow, his jaw juts, and the

(02:14:50):
beginning of a snarl curls his lips. He's undergoing a transformation.
He's a werewolf, touched by the first rays of full moon.

Speaker 29 (02:14:58):
I will spury you.

Speaker 58 (02:14:59):
The picture of his driving manners is tooth and claw
tactics in traffic, the way he streaks down the straightaway
driven by demons. But it's a fact getting behind the
wheel is strong enough chemistry to warp some personalities. A
few sense that we're trying to make a point here.
You're right, it's simply this.

Speaker 15 (02:15:17):
Be sure your.

Speaker 58 (02:15:18):
Driving manners are at least as good as when you're
out of the driver's seat. Observing motoring courtesy is another
way of taking care to get there.

Speaker 4 (02:15:37):
Sad day.

Speaker 17 (02:15:37):
Won't you go in your room? Now, get undressed with
that A long day? Go on now and if he's
in the writing card, oh there you are. What did
the desk clerks say?

Speaker 56 (02:15:45):
He said, no for the one thousandth time, and I
am not going to ask him again. He said, whenever
any parcels arrive for the guests, they are placed it
once in the room.

Speaker 17 (02:15:53):
And I don't understand it. There certainly must be something
wrong with a British parcel poster whatever they call it here.

Speaker 22 (02:15:58):
Look, don't blame the British man.

Speaker 56 (02:16:00):
Missus Houston probably got home and with all her social activities,
undoubtedly forgot all about your skirt.

Speaker 17 (02:16:05):
No, no, no, that's not like Missus Houston. She wouldn't forget.
She isn't the type who forgets things. And even though
I hated ask her to go to all that bother
was the last thing she said to me when the
Houston saw us off on the boat. I'll mail it,
she said, Yeah, I.

Speaker 56 (02:16:16):
Want to show Missus Houston has other things on her mind.
Beside your blue skirt. Brown, beside your brown skirt.

Speaker 17 (02:16:22):
I built my wardrobe round that skirt. My blouses and
sweaters and Jack. It was perfect, didn't wrinkle, you know,
be washed, and doesn't eat. I'man just lost without it.

Speaker 2 (02:16:30):
Look forget your.

Speaker 56 (02:16:31):
Brown skirt for a minute, will you and tell me
what you all did today. I'm so busy telling you
all about my business appointments at dinner tonight, I didn't
hear much about your day.

Speaker 17 (02:16:39):
Oh, we had a wonderful time, Betsy, tell Daddy what
we did today.

Speaker 15 (02:16:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (02:16:44):
Well, for one thing, we went to the Kensington Museum
and what did we see there?

Speaker 1 (02:16:48):
Oh? An airplane?

Speaker 17 (02:16:50):
Well what airplane was it?

Speaker 24 (02:16:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (02:16:53):
God, I don't know the right brothers the airplane they
flew at Kitty.

Speaker 41 (02:16:57):
Hawk, Right brother, there's no fitting.

Speaker 22 (02:17:00):
I didn't know that was here in England. Why isn't
that in some museum in America?

Speaker 15 (02:17:03):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (02:17:04):
It seems the Wright brother's office that offered it to
various places in America at one time, and nobody seemed
to want it. So I got mad or something and
gave it to the Science Museum here in London.

Speaker 22 (02:17:13):
Oh, I didn't know that if the.

Speaker 17 (02:17:15):
Guide said, well, Betsy knew that. She was told this afternoon.
She doesn't seem to be remembering anything. We also went
to Madame Tussaud's wax Museum. Tell Daddy about that. Dear,
were like, tell him, tell him what you saw. Put
your coloring book. I went on, Tell daddy, I don't know,
just a lot of wax figure the same as people.

(02:17:36):
I explained nearly everyone pointed them out, gave that impatient.
It's discouraging. I wanted this trip to be educational, for
she doesn't seem to learn anything.

Speaker 59 (02:17:46):
Yes, I had Henry the Eighth had six wide and
two of them he cut off their heads.

Speaker 17 (02:17:52):
Great, well it's something, it's history. At least she's learned something. Yeah, yeah,
goodness knows. I've tried to explain everything as we went along,
trouble with the child, and never know whether they're listening
to you or not. I've written eighteen postcards and four letters.
Really it's wonderful. I haven't written any letters except one
day on their last Tuesday, and to mother and to
your mother, and I think you should write to her too.

(02:18:15):
I haven't written since we're I'm all tired and not
going anywhere tonight. Why don't you do it now?

Speaker 33 (02:18:21):
Mainly because I don't feel like it.

Speaker 56 (02:18:23):
I'm going to bed. Earlier, I picked up some English
magazines and I thought I looked those over.

Speaker 17 (02:18:27):
I think I'll go down the lobby and buy some
more cards. Oh, I've got dozens right there on the table.
Look them over and after you can help yourself. Well, dear,
you want to save some for your scrap when you
get home, Take what.

Speaker 33 (02:18:38):
You want throw.

Speaker 17 (02:18:40):
You gonna lie down on the bed. Don't you think
you ought to take the spread off?

Speaker 56 (02:18:43):
Yeah, well I'm down now and I'm too lazy to
get up.

Speaker 17 (02:18:46):
Oh this is a lovely one of Windsor castle.

Speaker 12 (02:18:48):
May I have that? Yes?

Speaker 17 (02:18:50):
I should take what you wanted it. Oh, I'm me
write some cards too, as soon as I find my
address books.

Speaker 1 (02:18:58):
Why did Henry the Eighth six wives?

Speaker 29 (02:19:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 42 (02:19:02):
I don't know he just did?

Speaker 1 (02:19:03):
Could you have six wives?

Speaker 12 (02:19:06):
Oh?

Speaker 56 (02:19:07):
Well, I suppose so. I think I'll hang on to
your mother, though I kind of like her.

Speaker 17 (02:19:11):
Thanks for dear enough. Where is my address book?

Speaker 1 (02:19:13):
Would you behead her if you didn't like her? Want
someone else?

Speaker 56 (02:19:17):
Well, I've often thought of it, but it would be
kind of messy. No, I don't think somebody it really
isn't done anymore anyhow, kind of going out of style.

Speaker 2 (02:19:24):
You might say, if you.

Speaker 24 (02:19:25):
Were a king, would you Oh?

Speaker 56 (02:19:27):
No, no, I don't think I would even if I
were a king.

Speaker 17 (02:19:30):
You know, dear, we ought to make a list of
presents we have to take back to. Yes, yes, I
thought of that this morning.

Speaker 24 (02:19:35):
If you were a.

Speaker 1 (02:19:36):
King, what would I be?

Speaker 56 (02:19:38):
Oh, you'd be a princess.

Speaker 17 (02:19:40):
How could I get to be a queen by marrying
a king?

Speaker 22 (02:19:44):
Look in the time she.

Speaker 17 (02:19:45):
Went to bed, Well, it is a little early. Would
you ought to get undressed, Betsy and be ready for bed?
Anyhow is there a king of England?

Speaker 56 (02:19:51):
No, there isn't as a queen, but she has a
little boy, Prince Charlie, And when his mother, Queen Elizabeth, dies,
Prince Charlie will be king.

Speaker 1 (02:20:00):
Prince Charlie. Then would I be a queen?

Speaker 17 (02:20:03):
Yes, if he were king. But you can't marry Prince
Charlie because you're what is called a commoner and he
has to marry royalty. He has to marry a princess.
And besides, he wouldn't marry you if he saw you
chewing your hair ribbon like that, And I'll take that
break out of your mouth at once.

Speaker 59 (02:20:14):
Really, if I did marry Prince Charlie. Would we live
in Buckingham Palace in winter Castle?

Speaker 17 (02:20:19):
Yeah, sure, dear, wouldn't that be nice?

Speaker 30 (02:20:21):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:20:22):
Yes, I think I'll marry Prince Charlie.

Speaker 17 (02:20:24):
Now, Mommy just explained you can't marry him because we're
not royalty. We are commoners. See, Daddy would have to
be a king.

Speaker 59 (02:20:31):
Dear, Why isn't he then we could live in a palace,
not just an old house, all.

Speaker 22 (02:20:36):
House, she said to him A year old.

Speaker 56 (02:20:39):
Apparently this trip isn't going to teach her anything but
to be absolutely dissatisfied with her lot in life.

Speaker 17 (02:20:44):
Oh no, here, here, here, Betty, is a picture of
Prince Charlie on the cover of one of Daddy's magazines.
I just saw where, oh here, here.

Speaker 58 (02:20:54):
What's the matter with his hair?

Speaker 17 (02:20:56):
Well, that's the way they cut his hair, Dear, I
guess looks funny.

Speaker 22 (02:21:00):
Daddy, Oh look what I am trying to read.

Speaker 17 (02:21:02):
You go on in there with an ethy, Betsy and
get undressed, and I want you to sit down write
a little note to Gramma Piper for you have been
Doesn't that be much? But you write something? M Come on, Betty, dear,
I'm gonna be writing postcards too. Go on now, and
I'm going down to the lobby and speak to the
desk clerk about my skirt.

Speaker 22 (02:21:18):
But guy, I was just down there.

Speaker 15 (02:21:19):

And though I don't like to complain and make a fuss,
I need that skirt now. The package must have come
and then shopped in some cubby hole. If needs be,
They're going to turn this hotel upside down to find it.

Speaker 58 (02:21:39):
Well, we'll return to the couple next door in just
a moment.

Where the heck have you been for an hour going
through everything in the hotel's checkroom and making them look
everywhere the package with my skirt might be. I'm afraid
I've got everybody in a perfect ditherer desk clerk certainly
the hysterical.

Speaker 15 (02:23:13):

Speaker 56 (02:23:15):

a cucumber, hardly opens his mouth.

Speaker 17 (02:23:20):
He's not cool. Now he's busy trying to track down
my Aren't you in bed?

Speaker 10 (02:23:24):

go on tomorrow. I'm lost without that skirt.

Tuesday we went to Westminster Abbey, where they bury the
kings and queens when they are dead. The next day
we went to the British Museum and I saw the
Magma Carda, the Rosetta Stone and the Elgin Marble. Yesterday
we went to Hampton Court and Windsor Castle. This castle
is eight hundred years old. A castle is made of

(02:24:04):
stone to keep out the enemy. They don't build them anymore.
Henry by A build the garden for Anne Boleyne at
Hampton Court before.

Speaker 1 (02:24:13):
He cut off her head. The garden has yellow roses,
and it's just like yours.

Love that.

Charlie and tell him to get his hair cut the
way Mommy tells Daddy.

going to do all right. Oh look my brown skirt
