Out of my way.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Let me through here, will you hey, get in line
with the rest of us. What's the big idea? Never
mind with the idea is just let me through. I
gotta get in there. You think your I'm sorry, I
just got to get into that office and I've got
to get in fact, please.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Excuse my breaking in like this, But it's just that
I got a hold of their soldier. Take it easy.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's ex soldier, and I want to apologize because I
couldn't wait online. I know that this was the wrong
thing to do, but I got to have an apartment.
I got to get back to my job.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Right awall in the case of an ex soldier, I
don't think anybody minds too much.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
We have a few apartments left.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Of course, our building isn't up yet and we're just
renting from plans.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Tom.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Let's have that blueprint on your desk.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Will you brive, miss Davidson.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
We'll try to help you if we can.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Uh. What's your name, sir Palmer? Jim Palmer? And I've
got to get back Davidson plan.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Look, that's our Greek to me, that blueprint. Just tell
me can I get four rooms in it?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think so in fact, you can have the last
four room apartment that's left. The deposit will be three
hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Wow. That's plenty steep, isn't it. But I guess maybe
I can climb it. I'll have to go to the
bank first though.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
All right, Solger, but take your time. We're glad to
save an apartment for you our facts.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Thanks a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I'll be back in an hour. Thanks again, mister Davidson.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He well, we just made ourselves another three hundred bucks
and there's a mob outside.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Just waiting to make us rich. That's great, Bill, But
how don't you think we've made enough?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
We set a goal for ourselves.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
We said we'd sell one hundred apartments in the forthcoming
Bryant apartment House to one thousand people and then skip.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, yeah, I know, But won't mister Bryan get wise
to us before we hit the thousand.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I have a chance you'll never know what we're doing
till after we skip down with about one hundred grand
and deposit money. Then we'll leave one thousand tenants holding
their breath, Henry Bryant holding the bag.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
And now meet Dick Calmer as Boston Bleckie enemy to
those who make him an enemy, friend to those who
have no friend.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Well, Mary, where do you want to go? I'm taking
the afternoon off and you wout.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Let's leave them, Blackie before your mind gets chickle. Oh
that phone is what I'm meant.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It might be nothing. Don't you just wish it weren't too.
I'll answer that when I get through hands from this phone. Hello, Boston, Blackie.
Yes is Blackie Blackie.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
This is Jim Palmer who Well you don't know me,
but I need your help.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Look, I'm only out of the service a short while,
black and I'm being swindled.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, tell me about it, Jim. I paid three.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Hundred dollars to a couple of guys over at the
Brian Really Company this morning. They promised to save me
an apartment and a new building they're putting up.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, I found out they've been signing people and taking
deposits for days. They couldn't possibly have that many apartments.
So I went in and demanded my money back.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
And they wouldn't give it to him.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
No, mister Johnson said it was another man, mister Davidson,
who was in charge of refunds, and he said Davidson
was out of town. Look, maybe everything's okay down there, Blackie.
And if it is, swell, but I just can't afford
to lose three hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I see. And even though you can't get it back,
you think I can, I'm sure you can't, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And don't forget if this guy Davidson is swindling me,
he's swindling hundreds of us. If this deal is crooked,
I'll kill the one guy in back.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Of it, Believe me. I will. Oh, take it easy, soldier.
I'll meet you for a few minutes, and then if
this is a racket, I'll go down to the real
estate office and make a little noise myself.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Hi, Charlie, Hi Bill, How the motor is behaving on
your section of the highway?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
In a motorcycle cape when it used to be only
if I had to chase a car going as fast
as one last week, I'll need a propeller on this
cycle of mine.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Things quiet down your way? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Only place they like to cut loose is from the
top of that hill down to the bottom here.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I guess it's a roller.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Coaster effect they get when they see Hey, Charlie, Look,
look at this crazy fool coming down the hill. Now,
holy jumpin' johashaphat he must be doing ninety Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Maybe you'll need that propeller on your cycle sooner.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
You think.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Wow, here he comes, I mean there he goes. Yeah,
here we go kick it for it.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Come on, I'm right with it. Sure ain't slowing down,
and I'll say he isn't. He's got enough forment and
going down.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
That hill the coast from here to the state line,
he better slowed down before he gets that curve because
if he does an he's doing it now, Charlie, look
at the sap going to that turn, go into it.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Nothing, he's trying to straighten it out. He's gonna crack out.
Good night, Charlie. Him sent me, Oh he won't. Bill,
He already has slow down. We don't have to chase him. Now.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
One of us better chase you a call box and
get him an ambulet share.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I guess we better have a look at burn.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Yah all right, Ah, look at that car.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
What's the left to look at? Well, no fire yet.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yes, the guy must have cut his engine off just
before he crashed. You see him in there. Yeah, I
can this door smashed. We'll have to pry it open.
Maybe we both all right, we'll try.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Come on, I talk it. I'm shure Jim.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Had got the door off, and let's get this guy out.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Oh wait, Bill, there's no use moving him.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
He's dead dead.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Huh, that's no wonder he cracked up going nine easy.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
The crack up didn't kill him, Bill, He's been dead
a long time. Look at those bullet holes in his head. Hello,
my name is Jones.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I saw you were at the paper the other day,
and I'd like to rent an apartment in the building
that you are going to put up.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
So a lot of other people missus Jones, only they
were early people. Sorry, we're all filled up, have been since.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The day that he had appeared. Oh, by the way,
is your name Davidson?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
No, No, I'm Johnson, Tom mister Davidson's assistant.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Well, tell your boss I like to see him, will you.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Well you can tell him yourself as soon as he
comes in. He went to lunch twelve.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Ought to be back in a few minutes. It's after
one now, all right, I'll wait. I'm sure I have
a see. Thanks. So, who's the guy in the picture
on the desk.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Oh, that's that's Davidson. The guy likes himself so much.
He's got to look at his own picture all day long.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Nice looking guy. Looks as if he might have been
an athlete.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Oh he was once won the heavyweight boxing championship in
the Navy a few years ago, so proud of it.
He has crowns and anchors tattooed on each arm.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
That's all, big fellow. Huh, yeah, plenty big. What do
you know about his background? What's that to you, cute kid? Huh?
I asked you a question, and I asked you one.
What's that to you? Remember? Look, but I said my
name was Jones, It's not. I'm Boston Blackie. I'm so scared. Look,
(07:57):
I'm shaken. Maybe you weren't when you heard my name,
but you are now, and I'm saying to it. Now,
what do you know about Davidson? Call my Let me
go up. Plant this right on your chin. I'll let
go of something, but not your coat. It's just a sample.
Get up and keep your hands where they belong at
(08:19):
your sides. That's better. You can think that my friend
Jim Palmer was right, But this is a racket. I
get on the telephone and call whoever owns that building
that's going up.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Call mister Bryant. I don't think I could do that.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
No, Try'm thinking again about it. Come on, I got
to take with my girlfriend and I can't wait here
all day. All right, this could be a very cute
setup you have here. Pall. Maybe mister Bryant would like
to know about it.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
I don't know what you're talking about. Hello, Hello, mister Bryant.
This is Tom Johnson.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Mister Bryant, there's a.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Man named Boston Blackie here in my o to see
Bill Davidson.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
He he insisted, I call you. It's Davidson at your place.
Oh no, he isn't. I haven't seen him all day.
What's this Blackie wanted to see him about? Give me that? Hello,
Missa Brian, this is Boston Blackie.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Wasn't, mister Bryant. I think your mister Davidson here has
been using your apartment house project to make himself a
barrel a dough. He swindled my friend Jim Palmer and
maybe nine hundred and ninety nine others. What will you do?
I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but
I know what you ought to do. Go somewhere and hide.
You want to be good and lost when a thousand
(09:34):
people start screaming for their money. So long, Mark Johnson?
Are you sure? Davidson went to lunch at twelve o'clock? Well, Blackie,
when I came am, Oh, hello, Mary, I'm been expecting you. Hey,
what's that in the paper you're carrying?
Speaker 8 (09:50):
There?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Something in the headlines about a murder? I can see
part of it. What's the rest of it?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Saying I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I just bought the paper.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Something about a man in an automobile crash who wasn't
killed by the crash but by a couple of bullets
in the head as far as.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I read, you mean you stop reading there? Let me
see that?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Sure here?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Thanks?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Oh by the way, Mary, this is Tom Johnson. How
do you do? But don't get to know him too well.
He thinks he's tough. Oh you had trouble back? He did? No, No, no,
he did. Hmmm. I'm sure hunch happy today? You know,
maybe this unidentified body is the missing Bill Davidson. Bill Davidson,
who's he the running agent here? Mary? I think he
(10:29):
built a beautiful racket for himself. And then did a
fade out that it.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Is funny that he hasn't come back from lunch.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, I think so too. I'll ask you again, Johnson.
You're sure Davidson went to lunch at twelve, Well, I'm
not positive.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I went out and when I got back at twelve
thirty there was a note from him saying he'd gone
out at noon. Well, then, Blackie, maybe it was mister
Davidson's body that was found.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Maybe. Anyhow, we know what Davidson looks like thanks to
this photograph on the desk here. I'm pretty sure Davidson
and was killed. So I'm going to say inspect of
Faraday only if Davidson is alive, he'll be playing an
awfully dirty trick on me. Come in, killo Faraday, old pal,
(11:19):
pant me Blankie, Now get out of here. There's the
police headquarters. Or didn't you know? It's surprising to me
that you know where you are, Faraday, old man. I
have a confession to make to you. Up until now,
I never thought you had the brains of a cricket.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Oh you've changed your mind, eh.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yes, And I apologize for my former thoughts. I think
you do have the brains of a cricket.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Well, at least you finally learned something. Tell me what
you came down here.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
What did you say.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
I've got the brains of a cricket.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
With apologies to the cricket, of course, Faraday, I want
or whatever it is. The answer is no.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Now you win your crickets.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Get out of here, all right. But then, of course,
if I leave, be able to identify that body that
was planned this morning.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
So long, Wait a minute, Blanky, talk but talk fast.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, getting interpreted in Yah, so you can tell what
I'm talking about, Blankie for the last time. Start talking.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
I'm being calm. I'm not gonna lose my temper. But
you're gonna talk, and I'm gonna sit here nice.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And quiet while you do. Well, that's what I don't
like about you, Faraday. You whisper all the time. Okay.
Your unidentified body is a man named Bill Davidson.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Oh it is?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Is it Bill Davidson? You haven't even seen the body?
You can tell me it was Bill Davidson. Who is he?
A real estate rental agent who worked for Henry Bryant.
I think he pulled a rather tricky swindle and tried
to beat it out of town.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Oh you do? Huh?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Sure, I got a brainstorm, and I can give you
a perfect description of the body. Well, tall fellow, blonde hair,
and an anchor and crown tattooed on ea John.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Perfect Blankie, absolutely perfect, perfect nonsense. The guy we found
was short, bald, wasn't tattooed. Now get out of here
and don't bother me, and the next time, do me
a favorite. Don't get a brainstorm, get a concussion.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
And now back to Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Jim Palmer, ex soldier, made a three hundred dollars deposit
on an apartment in a building yet to be erected,
and Boston Blackie smells a racket. But when Blackie gets
to the real estate office, the agent is not there.
Then he hears of the murder of an unidentified man
and thinks it is perhaps the missing rental agent, but
apparently it is not. As we return to our story, Blackie,
(13:38):
deciding to pay a late visit to the office of
the Bryant Realty Company, finds someone there before him.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I get in there if I have to, father.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Huh, Oh, Blackie, hi.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Really late to try to do business at the Bryant
real Estate office.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Isn't I got to see those guys. I gotta have
my toe back.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
You obviously do. But look, this office is closed, won't
be open until tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
But I can't wait until then. I gotta have my
toe as soon as I can get it.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Look, Palmer, when you first called me on the telephone
to say you thought this apartment thing was a racket,
you threatened to kill anyone who cheated you, remember, Yeah,
well what about it. I still have a hunch about
that unidentified body that the police have. In fact, I
came down here to do some checking myself. Now, if
you had nothing to do with any killing, go on.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Home and get a wait for me, Blackie, I'm standing, yeah, soldier,
don't push well, then let me handle this my own weight.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Don't make me go to work on you too. No,
I wouldn't want you to do that, Palmy, you might
get hurt. Not be a good boy. As long as
you're on the right side, you're on my side, and
vice versa. We'll go into the real estate office. Look around,
go in. We can't the joint's locked. Yes, it'll be
unlocked in a minute.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh yeah, Boston, Blackie, that's right, I forgot You're supposed
to be pretty good with locks, an't you fairly?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But I don't think they'll make the headlines. Hold me
this one.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
There, hope and already, Hey, blacky, how'd you do that?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I keep that particular heart of mind such a secret.
I hardly know myself. Let's go in and look around.
Wonderful little snooping would tell me what happened to Davidson? Though?
Where he is? What if there's anything interesting in this file? Yeah?
But how do you know where to look? I don't.
(15:22):
Uh oh, there's something already. What is it? A stack
of deposit receipts for the apartments in Brian's buildings.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Gee, that's a terrific way of papers. Why there must
be a thousand receipts in that stack.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yes, there are only one hundred apartments in Brian's building,
this particular one. Look here, look look right here, for instance,
his apartment nine C. Run it two, one, two, three, four, six, eight,
ten different people, same apartment, but run it to ten
different people. This proves your theory. All right, that's a
nice racket.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Why not, dirty here?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Give me those papers? Hey, not so fast? What do
you want with them?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
The names in a dresses of those people. I'm gonna
get the whole gang of him together. We're gonna tear
Davidson a parts.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It's a good idea if you can find him, and
I'm a praise he's made his money and a skipped
out of time. See that grin in his face in
the picture, then my picture they're on the desk.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Looks like you, hey, are you kidding Blackie? That's not Davidson.
It's not Davidson.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Na.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Davidson is a short, ball headed guy with a funer
and ball.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, thanks Balmer, thanks very much. What for for telling
me that Davidson's dead found murdered at ten o'clock this morning? Dead?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
How do you know?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Faraday described him? But I didn't know it was Davidson
because his assistant Tom Johnson told me the man in
this picture was Davidson. He did, well, why would he
do that?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Why?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Because Johnson was in on the swindle with Davidson and
killed Davidson for his half of the take. He told
me this was Davidson's picture. To the lame me, Tom
Johnson's the man we want and the man I'm gonna get.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Like, if you come in and out of my office
much more. I'm gonna have him put in a revolving door.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Don't do it, Faraday, You will have to go through
it too. You're spending too much of the time as
it is. Well, maybe I like to spend you know, well,
suit yourself, old top. Yeahday, I just got a correct
description of Davidson and it fits that unidentified body.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Correct description. What's wrong with the first one?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
It was based on a picture on a picture. Look
black he pictures, don't I know, don't lie? But liars
have pictures. And Tom Johnson lied to me when he
said the picture on Davidson's desk was a picture of Davidson.
Why would Johnson lie sooner or later?
Speaker 7 (17:38):
We'd have identified that body as Davidson's.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Sure, but it would have been later. And where would
Johnson be by then? Probably right where he is right now,
hundreds of miles away with thousands of dollars? Can I
use your phone? No? Thanks, I said no. I know.
I asked you only to be polite. Too bad you
couldn't be poliited and say yes.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Yeah, Well, I said no, only because I knew you'd
use the phone anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Why aren't we clever with each other?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I didn't. I'd like to speak to Henry Bryant. Please. Oh, Brian,
this is bosson Blackie H. Do you know where I
can get in touch with Tom Johnson?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Palm? No, I don't.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
He called me last night and said he might be
out of town for a day.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
The building's completely wrendered. You know, there's not much for
him to do. No, I don't suppose there is. Well, thanks, thanks,
just the same, goodbye, good bye. Did your friend Johnson
know and Brian doesn't know where he is? But I
suppose you do. I have a hunch he's out of town.
And if that's so, we're out of luck.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Quiet, everybody quiet, and I'll explain why you're here. Yeah,
what's the idea calling us out in a rainy night
and getting this jam in this jump of a warehouse.
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Just take it easy, Take it easy.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
All of us gave it a positive one hundred dollars
and more to the Bryant real estate company to give
us apartments when his.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
New building was finished.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That's right, A thousand of us paid deposit money on
just one hundred apartments. You mean to say I mean
to say that, mister Davidson and Tom Johnson swindle us
out of our money.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Davidson is dead and Johnson's run away with the dove. Well,
what can we do?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I'll tell you what we can do. Brian himself is
the one responsible for this. He hired Davidson and Johnson
and Bryant's rich, and we're gonna make him give us
our money back. I take it easy, take it easy.
He'll do it or'll be an awful sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Guy, But first I want to let me finish. Will
you take it easy?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Now, Let's give him a chance to square himself. Let's
go see him right now? Right?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Come on? Then? What are we waiting for? Go? We want?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Light up?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Bryan? I ain't won't let Jenny. Why didn't it get mess?
He'd better come on? They were going in after him.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Hey, what with that? Somebody tossed the rock through one
of the front windows.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
That how to bring him up? Hey? Look the light
on the point of his house just went on. Yeah,
the door is opening. Why is that quiet? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I will soon find out. He's got his hands raised.
He wants to talk, not taking these Hey, everybody quiet,
let him talk, let him talk.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I'm mister Bryan though, what do you people want with me.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
We've paid deposits on apartments in your new building. One
hundred apartments were rented to a thousand different people. We
want our money back. Wait wait, please, please wait out.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Everybody. Give him a chance to talk. Thank you, Thank
you many much. I know just how you people feel.
I just found out about this scene myself. Believe me,
it came as a terrible talk to me. Please let
me finish.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Let him finish, everybody, let's hear what he has to say.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
All right, Bryant talk. Listen everybody.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
I'm insured against what happened to you.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You'll get your money back, every cent of it.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
The banks open at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Now be at my office.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Starting at dime thirty, and I'll see that these one
of you refunded every cent that you.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Gave David to the Johnson all right, Bryan, that's okay
with me?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Is that okay with the rest of you? Okay, Brian,
I'm coming up to shake hands on that.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Let me get Brian here. Will you come on, let
me get through. I'm sorry, Brian.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
Well, Bryant, thanks, that's all right, sir, and I won't
let you down.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah. That everybody. Are you satisfied?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Okay, mister Bryant, we'll see it at your office in
the morning.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
I'll be there and I'll have your money too.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Okay, let's go, everybody. I'm stop.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
All right, Well, come out?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Did I handle let Ah? You were great, Bran.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
The fools think I'm going to give him they.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
They're going to be at my office tomorrow morning to
get it.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
We'll be miles away by then.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
He sure will say that idea of yours having a
phony picture of Davidson on Davidson's desk was great, Brian.
Speaker 8 (22:12):
Better than that, Tom Was you letting Davidson think that
you and he were pulling a swindle behind my back
when you and I were really just letting him collect
the money?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Bars and the cops.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Will go on looking for Davidson for weeks and the charge.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Of swindling when they've already got his body in the
morte or someone at the.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
Door, probably one of the mob coming back. You better
get out of here.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
All right. I'll go upstairs and get back. Good. Yes,
mister Brian, I'm Boston Blackie. What do you want? Oh? First,
I'm wet and I want in. All right, you're in
Now what else do you want? Oh? Nothing much. You
probably got rid of that crowd just leaving your house
(22:54):
by giving them some smooth talk. But I don't want talk.
I want money. What money? The money you swindle from
your prospective tenants. It took me a little time to
figure this out, but I'm sure i'm right. I like
something else too, an admission that you killed Davidson. I
killed David that's right. Want to tell me about it?
(23:14):
Not right now? Oh just a second.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I can tell you why I killed him.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
I killed him and put him in his car and
send him crashing down the hill.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Now, what about it? Nothing except for us to go
to headquarters. Thanks for talking, Brian, you made this very easy.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Well look behind you, and you'll see someone who's going
to make it very tough.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That's the reason I didn't mind admitting the murder. I'm
not falling to that one, Bryan. Where's Tom Johnson, your assistant.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Right behind you?
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Not exactly right behind you? Black there's a gun between us. Oh,
so you wouldn't fall for someone behind you? Huh? Genius,
archer Tom, Tom, don't kill him here.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I won't. The longer he stays alive, the longer we
wait till we're safe.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
What will we do with him?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
His hands?
Speaker 4 (23:54):
And here's a tricky Grab that cord off the drapes
and tie him up.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
Work fast now, all right, all right, but keep a
gun on him.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
You'll let me worry about that. You watch his hands
are fast, I'm.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
Watching them, all right, black All right, Hey, you turn
around and put your hand behind you.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Sure, Brian around, I'll put you in front of me.
Sure when I'm through using your shield. Now time I'm
coming up to you. Stay back, Aros, shoot, go ahead.
You'll let Brian's not me?
Speaker 8 (24:21):
No, no, no, Tom, I'm in front of Blackie.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You'll hit me.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I've got to Brian.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Now, I'll give it to him, Are you kidding? Eh? Brian,
I'll put time to sleep a little while. When he
wakes up, maybe Faraday will sing both of your lullaby.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Mister, Brian's safe open yet, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It will be in a minute. Mary, ye help. The
money's in here as she is, mama. And there's all
the money too.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Wow, that was some hall.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yes it was soldier. And look at it all in
cash already to carry. Yeah, you think it's soldier. It's
all yours with pleasure. Why won't you feel rich for
a little?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Why? Sure will miss Wesley, But I'll feel still better
when I meet all those people of mister Bryant's office
tomorrow and give them meats the share. How many people
of mister Bryant swindle, some n odd people.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Blackie, yes, Mary Bryan swindle nine hundred odd people. But
this money, and what the law promises to do to
Bryant and this pile Johnson will make them even
Out of my way.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Let me through here, will you hey, get in line
with the rest of us. What's the big idea? Never
mind with the idea is just let me through. I
gotta get in there. You think your I'm sorry, I
just got to get into that office and I've got
to get in fact, please.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Excuse my breaking in like this, But it's just that
I got a hold of their soldier. Take it easy.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's ex soldier, and I want to apologize because I
couldn't wait online. I know that this was the wrong
thing to do, but I got to have an apartment.
I got to get back to my job.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Right awall in the case of an ex soldier, I
don't think anybody minds too much.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
We have a few apartments left.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Of course, our building isn't up yet and we're just
renting from plans.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Tom.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Let's have that blueprint on your desk.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Will you brive, miss Davidson.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
We'll try to help you if we can.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Uh. What's your name, sir Palmer? Jim Palmer? And I've
got to get back Davidson plan.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Look, that's our Greek to me, that blueprint. Just tell
me can I get four rooms in it?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think so in fact, you can have the last
four room apartment that's left. The deposit will be three
hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Wow. That's plenty steep, isn't it. But I guess maybe
I can climb it. I'll have to go to the
bank first though.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
All right, Solger, but take your time. We're glad to
save an apartment for you our facts.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Thanks a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I'll be back in an hour. Thanks again, mister Davidson.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He well, we just made ourselves another three hundred bucks
and there's a mob outside.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Just waiting to make us rich. That's great, Bill, But
how don't you think we've made enough?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
We set a goal for ourselves.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
We said we'd sell one hundred apartments in the forthcoming
Bryant apartment House to one thousand people and then skip.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, yeah, I know, But won't mister Bryan get wise
to us before we hit the thousand.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I have a chance you'll never know what we're doing
till after we skip down with about one hundred grand
and deposit money. Then we'll leave one thousand tenants holding
their breath, Henry Bryant holding the bag.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
And now meet Dick Calmer as Boston Bleckie enemy to
those who make him an enemy, friend to those who
have no friend.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Well, Mary, where do you want to go? I'm taking
the afternoon off and you wout.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Let's leave them, Blackie before your mind gets chickle. Oh
that phone is what I'm meant.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It might be nothing. Don't you just wish it weren't too.
I'll answer that when I get through hands from this phone. Hello, Boston, Blackie.
Yes is Blackie Blackie.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
This is Jim Palmer who Well you don't know me,
but I need your help.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Look, I'm only out of the service a short while,
black and I'm being swindled.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, tell me about it, Jim. I paid three.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Hundred dollars to a couple of guys over at the
Brian Really Company this morning. They promised to save me
an apartment and a new building they're putting up.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, I found out they've been signing people and taking
deposits for days. They couldn't possibly have that many apartments.
So I went in and demanded my money back.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
And they wouldn't give it to him.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
No, mister Johnson said it was another man, mister Davidson,
who was in charge of refunds, and he said Davidson
was out of town. Look, maybe everything's okay down there, Blackie.
And if it is, swell, but I just can't afford
to lose three hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I see. And even though you can't get it back,
you think I can, I'm sure you can't, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And don't forget if this guy Davidson is swindling me,
he's swindling hundreds of us. If this deal is crooked,
I'll kill the one guy in back.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Of it, Believe me. I will. Oh, take it easy, soldier.
I'll meet you for a few minutes, and then if
this is a racket, I'll go down to the real
estate office and make a little noise myself.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Hi, Charlie, Hi Bill, How the motor is behaving on
your section of the highway?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
In a motorcycle cape when it used to be only
if I had to chase a car going as fast
as one last week, I'll need a propeller on this
cycle of mine.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Things quiet down your way? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Only place they like to cut loose is from the
top of that hill down to the bottom here.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I guess it's a roller.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Coaster effect they get when they see Hey, Charlie, Look,
look at this crazy fool coming down the hill. Now,
holy jumpin' johashaphat he must be doing ninety Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Maybe you'll need that propeller on your cycle sooner.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
You think.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Wow, here he comes, I mean there he goes. Yeah,
here we go kick it for it.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Come on, I'm right with it. Sure ain't slowing down,
and I'll say he isn't. He's got enough forment and
going down.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
That hill the coast from here to the state line,
he better slowed down before he gets that curve because
if he does an he's doing it now, Charlie, look
at the sap going to that turn, go into it.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Nothing, he's trying to straighten it out. He's gonna crack out.
Good night, Charlie. Him sent me, Oh he won't. Bill,
He already has slow down. We don't have to chase him. Now.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
One of us better chase you a call box and
get him an ambulet share.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I guess we better have a look at burn.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
Yah all right, Ah, look at that car.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
What's the left to look at? Well, no fire yet.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yes, the guy must have cut his engine off just
before he crashed. You see him in there. Yeah, I
can this door smashed. We'll have to pry it open.
Maybe we both all right, we'll try.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Come on, I talk it. I'm shure Jim.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Had got the door off, and let's get this guy out.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Oh wait, Bill, there's no use moving him.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
He's dead dead.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Huh, that's no wonder he cracked up going nine easy.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
The crack up didn't kill him, Bill, He's been dead
a long time. Look at those bullet holes in his head. Hello,
my name is Jones.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I saw you were at the paper the other day,
and I'd like to rent an apartment in the building
that you are going to put up.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
So a lot of other people missus Jones, only they
were early people. Sorry, we're all filled up, have been since.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The day that he had appeared. Oh, by the way,
is your name Davidson?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
No, No, I'm Johnson, Tom mister Davidson's assistant.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Well, tell your boss I like to see him, will you.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Well you can tell him yourself as soon as he
comes in. He went to lunch twelve.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Ought to be back in a few minutes. It's after
one now, all right, I'll wait. I'm sure I have
a see. Thanks. So, who's the guy in the picture
on the desk.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Oh, that's that's Davidson. The guy likes himself so much.
He's got to look at his own picture all day long.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Nice looking guy. Looks as if he might have been
an athlete.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Oh he was once won the heavyweight boxing championship in
the Navy a few years ago, so proud of it.
He has crowns and anchors tattooed on each arm.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
That's all, big fellow. Huh, yeah, plenty big. What do
you know about his background? What's that to you, cute kid? Huh?
I asked you a question, and I asked you one.
What's that to you? Remember? Look, but I said my
name was Jones, It's not. I'm Boston Blackie. I'm so scared. Look,
(07:57):
I'm shaken. Maybe you weren't when you heard my name,
but you are now, and I'm saying to it. Now,
what do you know about Davidson? Call my Let me
go up. Plant this right on your chin. I'll let
go of something, but not your coat. It's just a sample.
Get up and keep your hands where they belong at
(08:19):
your sides. That's better. You can think that my friend
Jim Palmer was right, But this is a racket. I
get on the telephone and call whoever owns that building
that's going up.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Call mister Bryant. I don't think I could do that.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
No, Try'm thinking again about it. Come on, I got
to take with my girlfriend and I can't wait here
all day. All right, this could be a very cute
setup you have here. Pall. Maybe mister Bryant would like
to know about it.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
I don't know what you're talking about. Hello, Hello, mister Bryant.
This is Tom Johnson.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Mister Bryant, there's a.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Man named Boston Blackie here in my o to see
Bill Davidson.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
He he insisted, I call you. It's Davidson at your place.
Oh no, he isn't. I haven't seen him all day.
What's this Blackie wanted to see him about? Give me that? Hello,
Missa Brian, this is Boston Blackie.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Wasn't, mister Bryant. I think your mister Davidson here has
been using your apartment house project to make himself a
barrel a dough. He swindled my friend Jim Palmer and
maybe nine hundred and ninety nine others. What will you do?
I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but
I know what you ought to do. Go somewhere and hide.
You want to be good and lost when a thousand
(09:34):
people start screaming for their money. So long, Mark Johnson?
Are you sure? Davidson went to lunch at twelve o'clock? Well, Blackie,
when I came am, Oh, hello, Mary, I'm been expecting you. Hey,
what's that in the paper you're carrying?
Speaker 8 (09:50):
There?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Something in the headlines about a murder? I can see
part of it. What's the rest of it?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Saying I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I just bought the paper.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Something about a man in an automobile crash who wasn't
killed by the crash but by a couple of bullets
in the head as far as.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I read, you mean you stop reading there? Let me
see that?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Sure here?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Thanks?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Oh by the way, Mary, this is Tom Johnson. How
do you do? But don't get to know him too well.
He thinks he's tough. Oh you had trouble back? He did? No, No, no,
he did. Hmmm. I'm sure hunch happy today? You know,
maybe this unidentified body is the missing Bill Davidson. Bill Davidson,
who's he the running agent here? Mary? I think he
(10:29):
built a beautiful racket for himself. And then did a
fade out that it.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Is funny that he hasn't come back from lunch.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, I think so too. I'll ask you again, Johnson.
You're sure Davidson went to lunch at twelve, Well, I'm
not positive.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I went out and when I got back at twelve
thirty there was a note from him saying he'd gone
out at noon. Well, then, Blackie, maybe it was mister
Davidson's body that was found.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Maybe. Anyhow, we know what Davidson looks like thanks to
this photograph on the desk here. I'm pretty sure Davidson
and was killed. So I'm going to say inspect of
Faraday only if Davidson is alive, he'll be playing an
awfully dirty trick on me. Come in, killo Faraday, old pal,
(11:19):
pant me Blankie, Now get out of here. There's the
police headquarters. Or didn't you know? It's surprising to me
that you know where you are, Faraday, old man. I
have a confession to make to you. Up until now,
I never thought you had the brains of a cricket.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Oh you've changed your mind, eh.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yes, And I apologize for my former thoughts. I think
you do have the brains of a cricket.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Well, at least you finally learned something. Tell me what
you came down here.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
What did you say.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
I've got the brains of a cricket.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
With apologies to the cricket, of course, Faraday, I want
or whatever it is. The answer is no.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Now you win your crickets.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Get out of here, all right. But then, of course,
if I leave, be able to identify that body that
was planned this morning.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
So long, Wait a minute, Blanky, talk but talk fast.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, getting interpreted in Yah, so you can tell what
I'm talking about, Blankie for the last time. Start talking.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
I'm being calm. I'm not gonna lose my temper. But
you're gonna talk, and I'm gonna sit here nice.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
And quiet while you do. Well, that's what I don't
like about you, Faraday. You whisper all the time. Okay.
Your unidentified body is a man named Bill Davidson.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Oh it is?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Is it Bill Davidson? You haven't even seen the body?
You can tell me it was Bill Davidson. Who is he?
A real estate rental agent who worked for Henry Bryant.
I think he pulled a rather tricky swindle and tried
to beat it out of town.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Oh you do? Huh?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Sure, I got a brainstorm, and I can give you
a perfect description of the body. Well, tall fellow, blonde hair,
and an anchor and crown tattooed on ea John.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Perfect Blankie, absolutely perfect, perfect nonsense. The guy we found
was short, bald, wasn't tattooed. Now get out of here
and don't bother me, and the next time, do me
a favorite. Don't get a brainstorm, get a concussion.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
And now back to Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Jim Palmer, ex soldier, made a three hundred dollars deposit
on an apartment in a building yet to be erected,
and Boston Blackie smells a racket. But when Blackie gets
to the real estate office, the agent is not there.
Then he hears of the murder of an unidentified man
and thinks it is perhaps the missing rental agent, but
apparently it is not. As we return to our story, Blackie,
(13:38):
deciding to pay a late visit to the office of
the Bryant Realty Company, finds someone there before him.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I get in there if I have to, father.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Huh, Oh, Blackie, hi.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Really late to try to do business at the Bryant
real Estate office.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Isn't I got to see those guys. I gotta have
my toe back.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
You obviously do. But look, this office is closed, won't
be open until tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
But I can't wait until then. I gotta have my
toe as soon as I can get it.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Look, Palmer, when you first called me on the telephone
to say you thought this apartment thing was a racket,
you threatened to kill anyone who cheated you, remember, Yeah,
well what about it. I still have a hunch about
that unidentified body that the police have. In fact, I
came down here to do some checking myself. Now, if
you had nothing to do with any killing, go on.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Home and get a wait for me, Blackie, I'm standing, yeah, soldier,
don't push well, then let me handle this my own weight.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Don't make me go to work on you too. No,
I wouldn't want you to do that, Palmy, you might
get hurt. Not be a good boy. As long as
you're on the right side, you're on my side, and
vice versa. We'll go into the real estate office. Look around,
go in. We can't the joint's locked. Yes, it'll be
unlocked in a minute.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh yeah, Boston, Blackie, that's right, I forgot You're supposed
to be pretty good with locks, an't you fairly?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But I don't think they'll make the headlines. Hold me
this one.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
There, hope and already, Hey, blacky, how'd you do that?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I keep that particular heart of mind such a secret.
I hardly know myself. Let's go in and look around.
Wonderful little snooping would tell me what happened to Davidson? Though?
Where he is? What if there's anything interesting in this file? Yeah?
But how do you know where to look? I don't.
(15:22):
Uh oh, there's something already. What is it? A stack
of deposit receipts for the apartments in Brian's buildings.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Gee, that's a terrific way of papers. Why there must
be a thousand receipts in that stack.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yes, there are only one hundred apartments in Brian's building,
this particular one. Look here, look look right here, for instance,
his apartment nine C. Run it two, one, two, three, four, six, eight,
ten different people, same apartment, but run it to ten
different people. This proves your theory. All right, that's a
nice racket.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Why not, dirty here?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Give me those papers? Hey, not so fast? What do
you want with them?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
The names in a dresses of those people. I'm gonna
get the whole gang of him together. We're gonna tear
Davidson a parts.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It's a good idea if you can find him, and
I'm a praise he's made his money and a skipped
out of time. See that grin in his face in
the picture, then my picture they're on the desk.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Looks like you, hey, are you kidding Blackie? That's not Davidson.
It's not Davidson.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Na.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Davidson is a short, ball headed guy with a funer
and ball.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, thanks Balmer, thanks very much. What for for telling
me that Davidson's dead found murdered at ten o'clock this morning? Dead?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
How do you know?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Faraday described him? But I didn't know it was Davidson
because his assistant Tom Johnson told me the man in
this picture was Davidson. He did, well, why would he
do that?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Why?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Because Johnson was in on the swindle with Davidson and
killed Davidson for his half of the take. He told
me this was Davidson's picture. To the lame me, Tom
Johnson's the man we want and the man I'm gonna get.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Like, if you come in and out of my office
much more. I'm gonna have him put in a revolving door.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Don't do it, Faraday, You will have to go through
it too. You're spending too much of the time as
it is. Well, maybe I like to spend you know, well,
suit yourself, old top. Yeahday, I just got a correct
description of Davidson and it fits that unidentified body.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Correct description. What's wrong with the first one?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
It was based on a picture on a picture. Look
black he pictures, don't I know, don't lie? But liars
have pictures. And Tom Johnson lied to me when he
said the picture on Davidson's desk was a picture of Davidson.
Why would Johnson lie sooner or later?
Speaker 7 (17:38):
We'd have identified that body as Davidson's.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Sure, but it would have been later. And where would
Johnson be by then? Probably right where he is right now,
hundreds of miles away with thousands of dollars? Can I
use your phone? No? Thanks, I said no. I know.
I asked you only to be polite. Too bad you
couldn't be poliited and say yes.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Yeah, Well, I said no, only because I knew you'd
use the phone anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Why aren't we clever with each other?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I didn't. I'd like to speak to Henry Bryant. Please. Oh, Brian,
this is bosson Blackie H. Do you know where I
can get in touch with Tom Johnson?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Palm? No, I don't.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
He called me last night and said he might be
out of town for a day.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
The building's completely wrendered. You know, there's not much for
him to do. No, I don't suppose there is. Well, thanks, thanks,
just the same, goodbye, good bye. Did your friend Johnson
know and Brian doesn't know where he is? But I
suppose you do. I have a hunch he's out of town.
And if that's so, we're out of luck.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Quiet, everybody quiet, and I'll explain why you're here. Yeah,
what's the idea calling us out in a rainy night
and getting this jam in this jump of a warehouse.
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Just take it easy, Take it easy.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
All of us gave it a positive one hundred dollars
and more to the Bryant real estate company to give
us apartments when his.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
New building was finished.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That's right, A thousand of us paid deposit money on
just one hundred apartments. You mean to say I mean
to say that, mister Davidson and Tom Johnson swindle us
out of our money.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Davidson is dead and Johnson's run away with the dove. Well,
what can we do?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I'll tell you what we can do. Brian himself is
the one responsible for this. He hired Davidson and Johnson
and Bryant's rich, and we're gonna make him give us
our money back. I take it easy, take it easy.
He'll do it or'll be an awful sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Guy, But first I want to let me finish. Will
you take it easy?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Now, Let's give him a chance to square himself. Let's
go see him right now? Right?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Come on? Then? What are we waiting for? Go? We want?
Speaker 2 (19:55):

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Bryan? I ain't won't let Jenny. Why didn't it get mess?
He'd better come on? They were going in after him.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Hey, what with that? Somebody tossed the rock through one
of the front windows.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
That how to bring him up? Hey? Look the light
on the point of his house just went on. Yeah,

I just found out about this scene myself. Believe me,
it came as a terrible talk to me. Please let

Speaker 1 (20:55):

Speaker 8 (22:00):
They're going to be at my office tomorrow morning to
get it.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
We'll be miles away by then.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
He sure will say that idea of yours having a
phony picture of Davidson on Davidson's desk was great, Brian.
Speaker 8 (22:12):
Better than that, Tom Was you letting Davidson think that
you and he were pulling a swindle behind my back
when you and I were really just letting him collect
the money?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Bars and the cops.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Will go on looking for Davidson for weeks and the charge.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Of swindling when they've already got his body in the
morte or someone at the.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
Door, probably one of the mob coming back. You better
get out of here.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
All right. I'll go upstairs and get back. Good. Yes,
mister Brian, I'm Boston Blackie. What do you want? Oh? First,
I'm wet and I want in. All right, you're in
Now what else do you want? Oh? Nothing much. You
probably got rid of that crowd just leaving your house
(22:54):
by giving them some smooth talk. But I don't want talk.
I want money. What money? The money you swindle from
your prospective tenants. It took me a little time to
figure this out, but I'm sure i'm right. I like
something else too, an admission that you killed Davidson. I
killed David that's right. Want to tell me about it?
(23:14):
Not right now? Oh just a second.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I can tell you why I killed him.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
I killed him and put him in his car and
send him crashing down the hill.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Now, what about it? Nothing except for us to go
to headquarters. Thanks for talking, Brian, you made this very easy.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Well look behind you, and you'll see someone who's going
to make it very tough.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That's the reason I didn't mind admitting the murder. I'm
not falling to that one, Bryan. Where's Tom Johnson, your assistant.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Right behind you?
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Not exactly right behind you? Black there's a gun between us. Oh,
so you wouldn't fall for someone behind you? Huh? Genius,
archer Tom, Tom, don't kill him here.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I won't. The longer he stays alive, the longer we
wait till we're safe.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
What will we do with him?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
His hands?
Speaker 4 (23:54):
And here's a tricky Grab that cord off the drapes
and tie him up.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
Work fast now, all right, all right, but keep a
gun on him.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
You'll let me worry about that. You watch his hands
are fast, I'm.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
Watching them, all right, black All right, Hey, you turn
around and put your hand behind you.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Sure, Brian around, I'll put you in front of me.
Sure when I'm through using your shield. Now time I'm
coming up to you. Stay back, Aros, shoot, go ahead.
You'll let Brian's not me?
Speaker 8 (24:21):
No, no, no, Tom, I'm in front of Blackie.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You'll hit me.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I've got to Brian.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Now, I'll give it to him, Are you kidding? Eh? Brian,
I'll put time to sleep a little while. When he
wakes up, maybe Faraday will sing both of your lullaby.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Mister, Brian's safe open yet, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It will be in a minute. Mary, ye help. The
money's in here as she is, mama. And there's all
the money too.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Wow, that was some hall.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yes it was soldier. And look at it all in
cash already to carry. Yeah, you think it's soldier. It's
all yours with pleasure. Why won't you feel rich for
a little?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Why? Sure will miss Wesley, But I'll feel still better
when I meet all those people of mister Bryant's office
tomorrow and give them meats the share. How many people
