If I have trouble with YouTube over this, it's going

of Mississippi to admit James Meredith, the first African American
student at the University of Mississippi. Now, do you realize
we've talked about TV shows, and we've talked about nuclear subs,

(04:48):
but the main focus has been dealing with discrimination against
African Americans. Horrible. You know what else was horrible the
ratings for the show that premiered on this date in
nineteen sixty four, The Monsters. They did seventy episodes, canceled

(05:10):
after ratings dropped to a low due to competition from
ABC Batman Now. The ratings were low during its initial
two year run, but The Monsters found a huge audience
in syndication. It warned the spinoff series, which was not

(05:30):
nearly as good, and several films, including one with a
theatrical release. A landmark television program from CBS News made
its debut on this date in nineteen sixty eighth First Voice,
The audience heard Harry Reisner.

a magazine for television, which means it has the flexibility
and diversity of a magazine adapted to broadcast journalism.

continues today. It has seen its fair share of controversy
over the years. President Clinton signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test

and five, twenty years ago today, Hurricane Rita made landfall

in the US, devastating Beaumont, Texas, and portions of southwest Louisiana.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
It was the voice of Carol Morgan who rode out
the storm in a closet, and Rita tore up about
two or three radio stations that our programs were on
at the time, and one of those stations never came back,

(06:50):
was destroyed, and the cost to rebuild was horrible. Iranian
President mackmood Appaddi John gave a controversial speech on campus

boats in both houses strictly on party lines. And it
was two years ago today NASA's Osiris rex capsule containing

(07:38):
samples from the asteroid one oh one nine five five
menu successfully landed back on Earth, and it showed that
if we wanted to see if we could blow something
like that up, we could well, I mean, if it'd
be iffluent, you know, if it was something that was

(08:00):
of a danger to earth. The daughter of Winston Churchill,

seventy Jackie Gleason's show reboot. Sheila McCrae, also wonderful singer.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
To Bob Bailey, Virginia, Greg Let George do it. That'll
get a start here. On this edition of Classic Radio
Theater with Wyatt Cox on a Wednesday.

Speaker 13 (11:10):
A wise farmer knows that he must get his livestock
undercover to protect them from radioactive fallout. An attack may
never come, but it's wise to prepare.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
Now, Okay, I'm gonna admit something. The twenty fifteen Miss
Universe pageant was one that I enjoyed for multiple reasons,
not just the fact that Pia was a wonderful person
and I did get to meet her once years and

(11:40):
years later, but and the fact that she was the
first biracial Philipina to win the title.

Speaker 14 (11:48):
She was.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
They had but two and two and four years from
the Philippines. No, three in four years from the philip No. Well,
I'm shut up. I'm saying things I don't know. But
if you remember that pageant, Steve Harvey was the host,
and Steve Harvey came out and announced Miss Columbia Arianda

(12:16):
Guillette was the winner, and then she got the crown,
and then Harvey came back and said, I'm wrong, I
read the results wrong. Peter words back the winner, and
that was you know, I felt so bad for Steve Harvey.

(12:37):
But Pia a wonderful lady of not only Filipina and
German heritage. And then the family moved back to the
Philippines where the parents separated, and she has been very,
very busy. She was before she became that, she was

(13:02):
an actress and a model and a host and a
TV personality, and then she went back to becoming a
host and a model and a TV personality, and she
has She's done a lot, and she was She attended
Fashion Week last year. She walked in Fashion Week alongside

(13:25):
Kendall Jenner, Carra Delvegni, Eva Longoria, uh Viola Davis, and
Jane Fonda others. And she did a whole lot of
good for the Philippine people over the years. She's raised
a lot of money too for Philippine charities. So anyway,

(13:46):
let's get back to this. Let's get back to the
stuff that is not newsworthy but is rather worthy of
a lot of other things. Bob Bailey Virginia Gregg an
episode to Let George do It. This goes back to
September twenty fourth, nineteen fifty one, seventy four years ago,
as George is or somebody's framed for hanging.

Speaker 7 (14:11):
Personal notice dangerous my stock in trade. If the job's
too tough for you to handle, you got a job
for me. George Valentine rite full details.

Speaker 15 (14:40):
Standard Oil Company in California invites you to let George
do it. Before we begin tonight's adventure of George Valentine,
here's a reminder about motor oil compared with premium typhoils

(15:02):
as designated by the American Petroleum Institute. New RPM motor
oil doubles engine life between major overhauls due to lubrication,
and it doubles protection against gum, acid and corrosion for
longer and better engine performance. Change over to new RPM
motor oil at independent Chevron gas stations or standard stations

(15:23):
where they say and mean we take better care of
your car. Framed for hanging. Another adventure of George Valentine.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
Yeah, thanks, Well, what are you waiting.

Speaker 18 (19:34):
For, mister Valentine? What exactly are you doing for? Mister Ankers?

Speaker 7 (19:40):
You expect me to answer that.

Speaker 18 (19:42):
Well, I don't want to be personal quite so quickly.

You know, this case is crazy, more orders than the
big man.

Speaker 17 (20:52):
What does mister jankers say.

my personal problem? Mister Dewey, I don't know, and I
don't care. No, I'm not blaming you.

Speaker 17 (23:42):
You understand well we are. It took too long to
find you.

Speaker 7 (23:45):
But it'd take a lot more than two hours to
find the mighty Anchors. So I'm telling you to get
a new watchman down there and fast. Thanks and good night.
Portland's all right, Anchors is crazy illphone is hotel just
because he buys me out. There's no reason, mister Dewey,

About, mister Valentine, I know what you Portland's like. He's
been with me for a long time, so had Hank
Wales who.

Speaker 17 (24:24):
George that's the same name the watchman means?

Speaker 7 (24:27):
And Anchors ought to understand he was in town when
it happened. What kind of a bloodless machine is he?
Maybe Portland hasn't gotten over it. Maybe he does need
another vacation. I'll wait a minute. Who's Hank Wales? What
what's happened? And I thought you knew Hank was a
buddy of Portland's before he was killed?

Speaker 25 (24:46):

Give me room sixteen hundred ten please, Yes, sir, Portland
got shot in the leg, but Hank let them get
the drop on him, just from being such a polite watchman.
Who got the d up on Wales? Who killed him?
The same whoever it was, who got away with the
payroll and the rest of it. Didn't you ever hear
of the amalgamated robbery that was us a third of

having such a nervous watchman, but you didn't wake me up.

Watchman Portland shot one of my own men. That's what
he did, some witless, young eager beaver from the office uptown.
He killed a fellow named Gerald Frame.

Speaker 15 (26:26):
We'll return to tonight's adventure of George Valentine in just
a moment. You don't have to be a musician to
know that you can't play a melody with just one note,
and trying to make your car give all around performance
with just one gasoline quality is equally impractical. Refinery engineers
can make a gasoline that will stress one performance quality
above all others. A gasoline can be produced that gives

(26:48):
you quick starting but very little mileage. Another may give
you lots of power but lack other necessary performance qualities.
The makers of Chevron Supreme take into account the fact
that a gasoline must have many different qualities.

Speaker 7 (27:00):
In order to give all round performance.

Speaker 15 (27:03):
Chevron Supreme Gasoline gives you not one, not two, but
all eight high performance qualities incorrect balance. They are power, mileage,
add a knock, vaporlock, prevention, starting, warm up, acceleration, and
area blending qualities that are right for the kind of
driving you do. Where you do it, be sure your

(27:24):
tag is filled with not one, not two, but all
eight high performance qualities. Qualities you get in every gallon
of Chevron Supreme at standard stations and independent Chevron gas
stations where they say and mean we take better care
of your car. Now back to tonight's adventure Ofeorge Valentine.

(28:01):
The mighty mister Ankers has hired you a nervous night
watchman at the planet one of his local companies needed
to be replaced. The only trouble is he wasn't replaced
soon enough. He's killed a man, the eager beaver named
Jerry Frame. Well, if your name is George Valentine, it's
a little hard for you to believe that this is
anything but murder.

Speaker 23 (28:20):
He was crawling along there. I tell you, I thought
he was trying to get him with a files a cap.

Speaker 7 (28:24):
But couldn't you recognize him work for the same outfit, the.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Jerema knight Watchman. I've never seen him before. It's true.

Speaker 7 (28:30):
Frame had no business coming down here, Lieutenant Johnson, except
in the day testament of mister Ankers. Please, Joe, didn't
you challenge him or anything?

Speaker 4 (28:37):
You think I'm doing guard duty?

Speaker 7 (28:39):
Are you shot first and ask questions after us?

Speaker 17 (28:41):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (28:42):
Leave me alone. You should have been fired months ago.

Speaker 7 (28:44):
I can say that again.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
I'm not gonna end up dead like Hank Wales. You cops.

Speaker 23 (28:48):
I don't know what it's like to be all alone
and responsible when people are snooping around.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Hey, he's right by one thing. This Frame guy was
snooping all right, came in through a side door to
the planet roots.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
Well, I'll grant you. The young man was apparently the
type who nosed into everything he could what was.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Worth snooping for. I understand you don't keep oversized payrolls
around anymore, Miss Rankers.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
Of course, not not since the robbery last year. Insurance
company won't allow it. Oh you're insured now, Why wasn't
he before? Not completely that robbery where the other watchman
was killed and Joe here wounded cost me the tidy
sum of seventy five thousand dollars. So if you think
this was none of my business, if you think I

(29:28):
can sit around and be kind hearted like Dewey has
been doing it, okay, okay, I get the idea. Thanks
very much, of course, whatever you wish.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
He sure the High and mighty eighty.

Speaker 7 (29:42):
Hey Joe, what did you mean people had been snooping around?

Speaker 20 (29:44):
Huh?

Speaker 7 (29:44):
What you said a minute ago? I don't mean Jerry Frame,
because I'll believe it about him. I don't know.

Speaker 23 (29:50):
Sure there's been something going on, but I don't know
what past week or two since my relief's been sick
two or three times, somebody's broken him, but I couldn't
catch him.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Better be more specific than that, Portland. Nobody's going to
get the drop on me like I did on Wales.
I got a gun, I use it. This plant was
robbed once, mister show Wales. He yelled to see what
the noise was, like a sucker. They slugged him and
they killed him with his own gun. Same one got
me in the leg, showing me I come running like
a sucker. Toe But nothing more.

Speaker 23 (30:14):
I'm telling you I'm not Joe. I know, Hitters, that's
what's wrong with being it. Maybe Ankers is right, Maybe
I ain't got no business working here. Sorry, I shot
that man tonight.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Okay, okay, come on Courton, we got some records.

Speaker 7 (30:37):
Yeah, hello, Sazon Lessen. I got the gun. Eh what gun?

Speaker 2 (30:42):
You're way behind times Portland here is going to sign
a statement he killed the man.

Speaker 7 (30:46):
What are you talking about? Let me see that property
of JFF Dewey Company, please special Hank Wales gun. I
worked on the other case last year, Lieutenant sort of
one of the ballistics men.

Speaker 6 (30:56):
He thinks it'll check.

Speaker 7 (30:56):
Out the gun that killed Hank Wales a year ago,
the one that was taken away from him at the
time of the payroll robbery. That said, Sir Holy might
explain why that gerial frame was snooping again. We found
this gun on the top drawer of the desk and
frame's apartment. First lead we've had in a year. I know,
I know the way, Johnson. All I want to know
is whether that old robbery and murder was committed by

(31:17):
one man or by a gang one man, and I
bet it was an inside job. Maybe it was prime himself.
He was snooping again tonight, wasn't he? He had the gun,
didn't he? Wait, Hey, wait a minute, where are you going?
You're figuring it's a little wrong Johnson, But straighten out
for yourself. Meantime, I'm going to see a girl about
a date.

Speaker 18 (31:42):
You already knew.

Speaker 17 (31:43):
I had a date with.

Speaker 7 (31:44):
Jerry Frame, sure, miss Barkley, And you probably kept it too.

Speaker 18 (31:47):
No, No, I didn't.

Speaker 7 (31:49):
Honestly, you saw him tonight before he was shot, didn't you.

Speaker 21 (31:51):
No, After I left you at the office, after I
went home, I was dressing, he phoned from Well, how
should I know? He just said something awfully important came up,
something he'd been working on, and he'd be delayed.

Speaker 18 (32:03):
That's all except.

Speaker 17 (32:06):
Well, except all right, except what Well he.

Speaker 18 (32:10):
Did say he was going to buy me a mink coat.
I thought he'd been drinking or was trying to be funnier.

Speaker 7 (32:16):
Miss Barkley. Do you think Jerry Frame killed that watchman
and stole that payroll last year?

Speaker 21 (32:20):
What?

Speaker 18 (32:22):
Oh, of course not.

Speaker 7 (32:23):
I agree with you. A man who's committed a perfect
crime doesn't keep the murder gun around for a year
in practically plain sight for people to find.

Speaker 18 (32:30):
Then what are you driving here?

Speaker 7 (32:31):
But a guy who knows he and ambitious and tripping
onto old evidence might have such a gun in his desk?

Speaker 18 (32:35):
You mean Jerry knew who the robber was?

Speaker 7 (32:37):
Well, how else can you explain it? Who do you
know that calls at this time of night?

Speaker 18 (32:43):
Well nobody?

Speaker 7 (32:45):
You want me to be your last caller? Come on,
get in there?

Speaker 18 (32:48):
What ames to Valentine?

Speaker 19 (32:49):
Wan?

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Go on?

Speaker 7 (32:50):
Where's a piece of paper in a pestle?

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Never mind?

Speaker 7 (32:52):
I see something? Just staying there and be quiet when.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
It's Bodley.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
I'm sorry I didn't hear.

Speaker 7 (33:11):
Oh, how almost the doing Valentine?

Speaker 6 (33:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (33:14):
Me?

Speaker 7 (33:15):
Your receptionist doesn't seem to be here. Well, I I
thought she might be upset at y'all. She knew this
boy who got killed? Yeah, I know, what are you
doing here?

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Same thing you are?

Speaker 7 (33:28):
You knew she had a date with him tonight? No, No,
I just thought she might be able to help tell
us what frame was up to. But if she was
actually planning to be with them, was actually in on whatever?
You I don't really know that. I just thought there's
a note here.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Hmm.

Speaker 7 (33:43):
Oh, I didn't pay any attention, just sitting here waiting
for the show Range sixty two one fifteen AM. Well,
uh yeah, but it's not her handwriting. It might be
his mate. She here, Valentine, She's not mixed up in
liny of this. I'm waiting to find out. I mean, well,
it's Anchor's company now, he's the one responsible. But I
know my personal this is all up to the police,

(34:04):
not us. Anyway, Sure, sure run along if you want. Yes, Hey,
I guess I might just assure you do that.

Speaker 17 (34:13):
Mister Valentine. Valentine, what do you think you're doing in there?

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Be quiet?

Speaker 7 (34:19):
Lenny, I'm thinking.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Let me out of here.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
I say things you said, there is any there be quiet?

Speaker 7 (34:25):
I said, you're running away. You've already left for the airport.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
You're crazy?

Speaker 6 (34:31):
Did that?

Speaker 7 (34:32):
He let me out of Have a nice time in
the waiting room, Happy landing, See you.

Speaker 23 (34:35):
Later, mister Valentine. How could I recognize anybody when that
stick up happened last year? I didn't see anybody to shoot.
That wasn't even a shadow like there was tonight. Just
gun flashes and gnawse y'all.

Speaker 7 (34:56):
I got you out of jail, didn't I? So trust
me Brooks you, mister Rank has got that message, all.

Speaker 17 (35:01):
Right, he's convinced that Angela's running away. That's what you mean.

Speaker 7 (35:04):
That's what I mean. Now here we are, here's the airport.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Big dumb, trigger happy. That's what those cops called Joe.

Speaker 7 (35:11):
Don't hey, well, hey, you got men watching outside. J'n sure, sure,
I'll play ball with anybody's.

Speaker 17 (35:16):
Supposed to be running away on the one fifteen plane.
It's still half hours so from what.

Speaker 7 (35:21):
May I asked missus Brooks for you to figure out.

Speaker 16 (35:24):
The obvious lieutenants. Joe here is nervous, he's trigger happy.

Speaker 7 (35:27):
You should hear what the police doctor had to say
about him. Come on, come on, let's move out of
the life. Sure call me anything ouse.

Speaker 17 (35:33):
Oh wait, Jim, I meant that somebody took advantage of you.
Don't you understand?

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Sure?

Speaker 6 (35:37):
Sure I can figure that far Here's robbery.

Speaker 16 (35:39):
Was an inside job. Then whoever did it must have
been scared to death. What gerald frame was finding out?

Speaker 2 (35:44):
And what nicer way to handle frame than to trick
him and a going down to the planet at night
like throwing them in a bus? Saw only how was
he tricked and he getting killed as a.

Speaker 17 (35:54):
Power What difference does that mean?

Speaker 7 (35:56):
The important thing is that everyone knew that Jerry Frame
was going around with Angela Barkley. The one who committed
last year's crime and who sent Jerry to be killed tonight,
must think that Angela knows who he is.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
Now, that's the trap.

Speaker 7 (36:07):
That's what we're doing. I hope for your sake it
prays over.

Speaker 17 (36:10):
But you know yourself.

Speaker 16 (36:11):
Frame was the kind of nosey ingratiating man who could
have been tricked into using his nose once too often.

Speaker 17 (36:16):
Anybody, mister Anchors or mister.

Speaker 23 (36:17):
De mister Dewey is an awful nice man. He couldn't
have had anything to do with Robiney's own.

Speaker 7 (36:22):
Sure, sure, skip it, Joe, come on, we better stay
out of sight. Let's go over there by that hangar
and wait, George, the plane's leaving.

Speaker 18 (36:45):
The police didn't do a thing.

Speaker 17 (36:46):
They didn't stop anybody. The planes leaving.

Speaker 7 (36:48):
Yeah, sure, good bear.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
Trap, it just didn't work.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Us.

Speaker 7 (37:00):
Smell of anybody. Anchors are still at his hotel.

Speaker 16 (37:03):
Anybody try to send miss Bartley a message or a
telegram to the plane.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
We need five men checked every taxi, every family waving
goodbye everything.

Speaker 17 (37:10):
So she really could have left on that plane and
no one would have tried to stop.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
We're right back where we were a year ago, trying
to solve that original robbery.

Speaker 7 (37:17):
Okay, Johnson, So if you haven't got evidence, you make
up some. Eh. Oh, there's a bright idea I just did,
don't you get in?

Speaker 17 (37:26):
What are you talking about? George?

Speaker 7 (37:27):
Well, if it was either Anchors or Dewey, this stunt
tonight would have scared the daylights out of them. Okay,
so it's not either one of them. Oh that's just peachy.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Now.

Speaker 7 (37:36):
I was hired to solve a personnel problem. Okay, here
I go. If you've been so trigger happy, Joe ever
since last year, Dewey would have had to fire you,
no matter how nice a guy is.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
What do you mean?

Speaker 7 (37:47):
So all right? You haven't been You just got nervous recently.
I don't get you, Valentine wild man with a gun.
It's an easy enough act to put on, sure, Joe,
who could get Gerald frame down to the plant easier
than yourself? Just phone up and asked him to come
down for a talk. And who else knew that I'd
already tangled with you, that you'd be jerked off that

(38:07):
job fast, that there wouldn't be any more golden opportunity
to get rid of nosey frame.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
You're crazy. You don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 7 (38:12):
When you pull the original crime, when you shot the
other night watchman last year and even shot yourself on
the leg and make it look good, you.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
Slipped up, didn't you.

Speaker 7 (38:19):
You lost the gun or it disappeared, so you had
to stay on, had to keep your job. It was
the best cover anyway. And then finally you discovered who
had the gun. It was framed and he was breathing
close to figuring it all out, so you got rid
of them.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
Well, I'll kill you for saying that.

Speaker 7 (38:37):
Yeah, sure, shoot first, ask questions afterwards, but who else
could have staged both jobs so they looked right? Oh
never mind, I know we had to prove the other
guy's innocent to make you guilty. Only you did it
yourself too. You know the gun?

Speaker 2 (38:51):
What's that?

Speaker 25 (38:52):
What about what gun?

Speaker 7 (38:53):
In the original hold up, you said you didn't see anybody,
and they slugged the other watchman and took his gun
and shot him with it and shot you in the
light with it. Well, so what well in the dark,
all those flashes you chatter about, it makes you so nervous.
How can you tell what gun did the shooting unless
you were pulling the trigger?

Speaker 26 (39:10):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (39:11):
That's so busted?

Speaker 7 (39:14):
Sorry, but sometimes it is better to shoot first and
ask questions afterwards. He's all yours, Johnson.

Speaker 17 (39:20):
Georgeohn's even gonna wait to see what he says.

Speaker 7 (39:22):
God me, Brooksy, I still got a girl locked up
in a closet.

Speaker 15 (39:25):
Remember, you know, every evening it gets dark a little earlier,
and you're probably doing more driving during the twilight hours,
the time when most accidents occur. So don't take chances

(39:45):
with a dirty windshield. Clear visibility means extra safety. Next
time you're out driving, stop in and let our car
savers clean your windshield quickly and expertly. It's just one
of the many extra services at standard stations and dependent
Chevron gas stations where they say and mean we take
better care of your car.

Speaker 17 (40:21):
George, you mean Angela didn't have anything to do with it.

Speaker 7 (40:23):
That's right, angel Joe Portland ran strictly a one man crime.
That was all it was to it.

Speaker 16 (40:28):
I wonder if mister Ankor's guest, wonder if that's why
he hired you.

Speaker 7 (40:32):
I doubt it. Here this is the speech she lives
on No Brooks. The anchors might be a little high handed,
but I got over being sore at him a long
time ago, just like Dewey, perfect me a nice guy
who hates to fire people. That's all.

Speaker 16 (40:43):
It was a pretty neat stun of Joe's, wasn't it
pretending to be nervous.

Speaker 17 (40:47):
He could shoot anybody and it'd be called justifiable manslaughter, or.

Speaker 7 (40:50):
Even build up the legend by trying it out on me.
Might know who we are.

Speaker 16 (40:54):
Oh, George, it's so late. Why don't you just give
that key to the doorman there and ask him to
go up and unlock the door.

Speaker 7 (40:59):
Oh I don't know. Personnel problem, uh Frankers, of course.

Speaker 17 (41:03):
Angel Her name is Angela, isn't it Yea?

Speaker 4 (41:07):
But she can scarcely fly out no wings that I noticed.

Speaker 18 (41:13):
You call me angel sometimes you did that?

Speaker 4 (41:16):
Not sure.

Speaker 7 (41:19):
What's the matter.

Speaker 18 (41:20):
She's not that good looking, George, I don't have any
wings out here.

Speaker 7 (41:28):
Hey, you dorman, catch go upstairs and open the door
with you. I'm busy here. I got a little personnel problem.

(41:56):
The Night's Adventure of George Valentine has been brought to
you by Standard Oil Company of California on behalf of
independent Chevron Gas stations and Standard stations throughout the West.
Robert Bailey has starred as George, with Virginia greg as Brooksy.
Let George Do It was written by David Victor and
Jackson Gillis and directed by Don Clark. Ken Christy was

(42:17):
heard as Lieutenant Johnson, Louise Arthur as Angela Clayton Post

and George Nie as framed. The music is composed and
presented by Eddie Dunsteader. You're announcer John Heaston. Listen again
next week, same time, same station two. Let George do It.

Speaker 15 (42:38):
Let George Do It, as heard overseas through the worldwide
facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service. At this very moment,
in another part of the world, people are listening to
their radios. But these people must first draw the blinds
and keep the volume turned low. They are the people
who live in Soviet dominated countries, and they are listening

(42:59):
to Rage Free Europe as it keeps alive their hope
for freedom.

Speaker 27 (43:04):
Now, Radio Free.

Speaker 15 (43:05):
Europe needs your dollars to help truth fight communism. Send

Seventy four years ago, September twenty fourth, nineteen fifty one.
Let George do it on Classic Radio Theater with Wyatt
Cos coming updates. Will stay out on the West Coast
for the Whistler.

Speaker 13 (43:54):
There is a defense against radioactive fallout during enemy attack.

Speaker 7 (43:58):
Get to a shelter, immediately, stay there until local officials
advise you it's safe to leave.

Speaker 13 (44:02):
Be prepared.

Speaker 5 (44:04):
We continue with Classic Radio Theater with an episode of
The Whistler from eighty years ago September twenty fourth, nineteen
forty five. The Man who Died twice.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Signal Gasoline Signal the new gasoline you can prove is superior.
The Signal Oil Company and your neighborhood signal dealer bring

(44:38):
you another curious story by the Whistler tonight, The man
who Died Twice. I am the Whistler, and I know

(45:04):
many things.

Speaker 6 (45:05):
For I walk by night.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of
men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes,
I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.
It wasn't until a year or more after his second

(45:28):
death that the public learned the facts in the case
of Stash Wilk and made him famous posthumously as the
man who died twice. That was an interesting story in itself,
but it was really only a prologue to a bigger story,
one which the public never knew in full. Four people
were involved Stash, his brother John, his lawyer Ben Meadow,

(45:51):
and his girl Edie Sheldy, But the real central character
in the story was an oil drum containing four hundred
thousand dollars in currency buried near a lonely highway. Yes, Dash, well,
if you hadn't been stupid, if you hadn't killed that
bank guard, you might have made it. But there's no
use crying over spilt milk. Is there.

Speaker 6 (46:13):
You're in the state penitentiary.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Now, in the death cell, forty eight hours from the
gas chamber. All you can think of is the four
hundred thousand buried in the oil drum near the highway.
Safe only you know where it is, Stash. Maybe that's
why Ben Maddow, your lawyer, is trying so desperately to
get you a reprieve. But listen to reason, Stash, I

(46:37):
tell you we saw the governor. They all turned us down.
It must be some other way. Where's he d I
gotta see it. She's coming with John and my brother.
What's she doing here trying to help? I mean he's
money hungry too, like the rest of you. Please, Stash,
don't you see You've got to tell us where that
dough is so we can put it to work for
you while you'll low down? You didn't you crazy? You's coming?

Speaker 27 (47:01):
Nobody get your smell of that, don't liemousie?

Speaker 2 (47:03):
Yeah, yes, stage, yeah, let me go. Yeah, thanks, that's
striking a tie. They're coming, miss Shelby and your brother
to see it. Well ten minutes, I missed your baby.

(47:24):
Hope you'll miss me too.

Speaker 6 (47:25):
I have, I have.

Speaker 28 (47:27):
It's getting so I figure everyone's got his eye on
the dough, even you. Please, Okay, what's on your mind?

Speaker 6 (47:35):
Johnny?

Speaker 2 (47:36):
I abandon ask him. I just told Ben exactly how
I feel about the dough. Johnny just said, there won't
be no mistakes. You see, there's one thing worse than
walking to that little green room tomorrow. That's walking there
knowing someone else is making free with that four hundred grand.
In other words, John, he doesn't trust us. Right once
I'm out, it's a different story, of course. Of course,

(47:59):
Well that leaves us just one alternative. What's that It's
a long shot, Stash. But that's about the only time
we have left. It'll take money now or later. I
think you'll be satisfied with later. Who the doctor you kidding?
What good can the doctor do me? Let him talk, Stash.
It's this way, Stash, but the right injections, a man

(48:19):
who's been gassed to death can be brought back to.

Speaker 6 (48:22):
Life, brought What are you giving me? What kind of
a double cross is this? Or you're crazy? You some
lacks before you have a god? Here, I'm telling you
a plain fact.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
A man who's been gassed and pronounced dead can be revived,
providing you get into the right doctor fast enough. Say
all right, anyone, Yeah, I'll have one. Thanks, A little
less noise now, huh?

Speaker 6 (48:46):
Yeah? Well, Stash, are you ready to listen to details?

Speaker 2 (48:50):
And how much choice doing? Okay, Jenny, hen listening, But
get this straight, the three of you. I don't do
no talking about the four hundred grand till I'm out
of this pen and figure out how much talking I'll
do if I come out dead.

Speaker 6 (49:10):
Yes, Dash.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
It's enough to make a man think, isn't it, with
death staring him in the face. The guards at the
prison notice the change right away, and the report goes
to the warden that, with a little more than a
day of life left you, you've changed from a surly,
scowling brood into a model prisoner. Meanwhile, Ben Meadow and
your brother John are making preparations.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
And finally, on the morning of the execution.

Speaker 7 (49:35):
What time is it, John?

Speaker 6 (49:36):
Almost five?

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Worry? I told you he's got the schedule. You're sure
of him, positive he's not before we have exactly an
r He goes under the gas chamber at six. Sharps,

high gear miles actually go farther than ever with new.
Signal because all these advantages are things you can, see

Holma the whistler will return with the strange ending of
tonight's story in just a. Moment, meantime let's take a
quick look inside the refineries where a new signal gasoline is.

(01:08:43):
Made it looks like the movie version of a chemist's,
dream for here are some of the most amazing devices
ever known to science where the atoms in gasoline molecules
are actually separated then put together in an entirely new,
way creating an entirely new type super. Fuel that's Why
New signal isn't just a pre war quality, gasoline not

(01:09:05):
just an improved old style, gasoline but a completely new
post war motor. Fuel that's also Why New signal is
packed with amazing new power and performance that's so immediately.
Apparent you can feel, it see, it hear. It whether
you're driving a nineteen thirty Two ford or a nineteen
forty Two, cadillac you'll Know New signal is the gasoline

(01:09:27):
for your car the moment you step on the accelerator
and feel that old motor get young. Again that's why
we urge you to let just one tankful Of New
signal gasoline talk for. Itself let its quicker, starting faster pick,
up higher anti, knock and longer mileage demonstrate in your
car Why New signal is actually the new post war

(01:09:48):
gasoline you can prove is. Superior now back to the,
whistler so the corporation is finally cut down to, one
and you're, it aren't, You. Johnny it's been a hard

(01:10:08):
struggle your chest is, crushed your right foot. Mangled but

the four hundred thousand in the oil drum that gives
you the.

(01:11:00):

fingers clawed the, dirt forget the pain in your, hands every,
breath feeling as if you've been handled a load of razor.

old time radio. Shows this was his second season Doing The,
shadow and this is the first episode of the third
season of the. Show so he had done it in

Speaker 6 (01:23:35):
Huh what is?

Speaker 20 (01:23:36):
It?

Speaker 6 (01:23:37):
Well i've just been, thinking you, know the old saying
that if there's no, news then make. News, yes, well
how about a rewrite on that if there's no, crime.

Speaker 14 (01:23:47):
Then make crime exactly just a. Minute you're not going
out and commit a murder.

Speaker 6 (01:23:53):
HARDLY i have a different. Approach what oh well known
civically that Mister Grant, Flynn, oh Mister, flynn the poor man's,
friend benefactor of little, kiddies and the worst murdering thief
this community has ever.

Speaker 14 (01:24:07):
Known But, lamont they've been trying for years to hang
something On.

Speaker 6 (01:24:10):
Flynn, granted but just look at this, newspaper see this
story here.

Speaker 14 (01:24:14):
Whereabouts Of John gordon racket king still a? Mystery but
what's that got to do With?

Speaker 6 (01:24:19):
Flynn John gordon Was flynn's, Partner oh not, publicly of.
Course gordon did the dirty. Work he ran the, rackets
collected the extortion money from poor, shopkeepers and when, necessary
committed the. Murders, well what's happened To? Gordon about three
weeks ago he disappeared, boom just like, that and nothing's

(01:24:40):
been heard of him.

Speaker 14 (01:24:41):
Since will you think That flynn had something to do
with his? Disappearance?

Speaker 6 (01:24:45):
Definitely gordon was becoming too dangerous To flynn's. Interests the
names were being linked together And gordon was trying to
cut in On flynn's political interests and probably threatened.

Speaker 14 (01:24:55):
Him and you think That flynn Had gordon?

Speaker 6 (01:24:58):
Murdered so sure of that the murdered. PART i, mean
WHAT i do think is That flynn ordered him done away.
With and now he's not so sure that his orders
were carried. Out but why because among those heading the
investigation as To gordon's whereabouts is his erstwhile, partner the
same Mister.

Speaker 14 (01:25:18):
Flynn oh and just what are you planning to do
about all?

Speaker 6 (01:25:22):
This, well if Mister flynn were to receive a phone
call telling him That gordon was still, alive we might
stir up some interesting DEVELOPMENTS i, see particularly if he
were to receive this phone call from The, shadow.

Speaker 27 (01:25:45):
Come, in, well what do you? Want won't call for,
you Mister? Flynn who is? It he wouldn't give no?
Name you, KNOW i don't talk to people unless says
he's got a message for. You, oh, yes, yeah From Johnny.
Gordon what should telling?

Speaker 22 (01:26:00):
Me?

Speaker 27 (01:26:00):
No, no, no, No i'll take it. Now you're waiting.
Here whatever you, say, boss whatever you. Say, Hello, hello,
hello Mister Grant. Flynn, yes.

Speaker 6 (01:26:21):

of some. Importance, yes a message From John.

Speaker 27 (01:26:27):

to get. You gordon's.

Know BECAUSE i ordered them rubed out WHY i wanted to.

Speaker 6 (01:26:35):
That perhaps you can explain yourself more clearly in the
morning of The District attorney's office If gordon doesn't get you.

Speaker 27 (01:26:41):
First, no wait a.

Speaker 20 (01:26:42):
