Speaker 1 (00:00):
Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
This is Bruce Hardwick. Mister Dalla, do you remember me?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I think I do. You're with a Corinthian Life and Liability,
aren't you?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
That's right to work for you if you're busy.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I'm not sure good.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Our New York office got a call from the police
this morning. They investigated some trouble on the East Side
and found one of our policies of the scene and
wanted to find out what the company knew about the
man that covered, which was very little.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
What kind of trouble was it?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Nobody seems to know all the signs of murder. I understand,
but nobody.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Will you go down and.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
See what you can make of it?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Edmund O'Brien in another adventure of the Man with the action.
Expense account American's Fabulous Free Lance Insurance Investigator.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yours truly, Johnny Dalla. Expense account submitted by a special investigator,
Johnny Dollar to home Office, Corinthian Life Life and Liability
Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is accounting of expenditure
(01:05):
during my investigation of the richards Plain matters. Expense A
count Item one thirty five dollars trip from Hartford for
the scene of the crime, a part of Manhattan where
the citizens have been conditioned to sleeping through screams, gunshot,
and even the odors. I was met by a homicide
sergeant and the tenement platt he took me to lived
(01:27):
up to its first description. It did bear all the
signs of murders except our body. All that must have
taken a long time to accomplish. All this The place
rented in the name of Richard's plain. Yeah, what's the
address on his insurance policy? The number on Second Avenue?
(01:48):
If the report read on this so far, sergeant, you
can see everything which from the amount of busted furniture,
a violent struggle, from the amount and placement of budstains,
a sustained beating of someone there by the radiator. Nobody
heard it. Nobody cared if they did hear it. We've
asked questions, but the people won't admit anything. They don't
want to get involved. The landlady phoned us after she's
(02:11):
on the door open and looked in any bloodstains out
in the karta. You haven't found any. You've seen enough, Yeah,
I guess. So what's this part of some rec ship
model seemed to be Splain's hobby for electing them. Yeah,
there's not much we can do. I put this flat
under lock and key. We can hold it that way
(02:32):
for a while and wait for him to come back.
But that's about all until we have some concrete evidence,
like a body that will help. Are you going to
wait for us or follow it up yourself? Now I've
got that address on second it's his wife, isn't it.
And beneficiary and the policy. You can't do much with
her until she makes the missing person's report or something,
(02:53):
and she hasn't. Yeah, I get anything from her. I'll
let you out expensive con Item two a dollar and
a half tax EID of the second avenue address. Missus
Plaine was a rather dumpy blonde with tousled hair and
half applied lipstick. See obviously didn't want me to come in.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Well, it's not that I don't want to help any way,
I could, mister dollars, but I haven't seen much of
Dick lately.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
We split up, you know, No, I didn't. Okay, I've
been here clip.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Oh it's something about Dick.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Dick, what about it? It's sick of you get bothered
over that bum.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Oh now, Mark, hold your temper. This man is from
the insurance, mister Dollar, mister Bond.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Oh yeah, okay, what's insulance got to do with this?
Plain had a policy on his life? Missus Plain is
a beneficiary.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I guess I never told you, Mark. I almost forgot
about it myself.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Isn't very much thirty five thousand dollars? How did you
learn about what happened?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
It was a police forhm me wanted to know if
he was here. I told them the same as I
told you. We I don't even know if Dick was
he in or out?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
What he mean in or out in port?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
It was spe mm he worked on a boat.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
In his policy he listed his occupation as a carpenter.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Well, he used to be, but since the war he's
been a ship's carpenter. He's away all the time. That's
one of the reasons I dumped him.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That wasn't the worst Mark you talked to.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Mister Dollar. Will I go and put the rest of
my house? I feel like I'm not half read.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, what do you want to know about him? Whether
he's dead or alive? You think he'd called missus Plain
if he was hurting in trouble. No, I know for
sure he wouldn't. They quit. They meant it has there
been a divorce, not yet. It costs money. She hasn't
got any. I haven't splain as he's not letting loose.
Would you happen to know if there's somebody he would
turn to the police, check the hospitals without finding him. No,
(04:46):
I don't know where it goes. Hey, what makes you
so sure Splain is the one that get messed up.
Maybe he went to work on somebody else.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
That's what I was thinking. One thing I can tell
you from experience, it can take care of himself and
he's me. But Hones said's the very best I can do.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Mm okay, thanks here. I put my hotel room number
on my card in case you want a phone, and
I'll let you know if anything develops. Expense account item
three a dollar and a half to Splain's plat. I
decided that it would be easier to learn there the
(05:25):
name of his last chip, and with that I hoped
to find someone who was closer to him than his wife.
Sergeant Burns was no longer there, but a liar too.
Got a pass key from the landlady and I went
in the top drawer. The battered bureau produced not only
what I was looking for, but more. The name of
the ship was the Tangier, and an envelope that contained
(05:45):
a seamen's papers also contained a smaller dress book with
enough names and addresses to keep at least one investigator happy.
I started to jot them down, but got no more
than half way through. I hope you don't mind, sah GENTI.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Hey, what's out there?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oh you? What kind of sclaims?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (06:10):
I heard you moving in here and thought he was
in What happened?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Shut the door?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
What a mess?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Nobody seems to know what happened?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Who are you?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
What?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Cop? Private type explained dead? Who'd wanna kill him? I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I'm gonna ask him.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
All that blood and everything busted up?
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Look, I don't wanna get mixed up and it. I
I just know him like in the bar sometimes.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Wait a minute, come on, what's the idea, shorty? I
want you to tell me about fixed clam.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I don't know much about him.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You know enough to walk through his door before anyone
answered it?
Speaker 9 (06:48):
Well, sure I do that.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Sometimes I I come to talk to him sometimes when
he's in from the trip.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I can't go to them places.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And he tells me about him.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I'd like to hear about Tangier and them places. And
he shows with them ship models.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
He may do you know any of the people he does?
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Well, all I know is where he's been in.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Every stay's in Moon a week.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
He eats it swing me sometimes.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's just across the street.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
I can't help you.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Missing, Let me do difference. What my name is. I
don't want to get mixed up with somebody. Don't anything
about it. Come on now, please give me a break.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Will you?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Hey, what are you reaching.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
For my wallet? Well? Ten bucks pay their time?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Will You're a good guy?
Speaker 7 (07:26):
I'm sorry I can't help you more.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
He spends account item four ten dollars peace offerings. I
had a feeling. I paid for lies with it and
covered the possible loss by tailing the rabbity little man
to an address a few blocks away. His name turned
out to be Paul Krell. What was left in the
afternoon was spent on routine legwork, and at six I
was on the phone in my hotel room. This is
(07:57):
dollar sageant.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
How did you make it?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I've got nothing explain, and his wife separated and can't
afford a divorce. She's taken up with a guy named
Mark Bond. They both say they haven't seen or heard
from Splain for a long time. Yeah, A lot of
people don't know anything about that guy. H It seems
he's a ship carpenter. I got the name of the
ship went aboard. He's been with it for a couple
of years. Same one flies between here and North African ports.
(08:20):
Those people don't know much about any of their crew
made shore life, so I didn't get much. Few names
I can check tomorrow the Tangier White flagline peerady on
the East River. Have you run into anything? I'm still waiting. Well,
you've got my hotel. Yeah, thanks for calling them. Something
may turn up tonight.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
David does fo your first thing in the morning, Johnny Dalla, This.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Is Clara's great mister dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Ah, Hello, I gotta see you right away. Sure, what's up?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
They are risted Mark? You know you met him?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah? They found your husband.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Yeah, last nice. I've been down to the Morgar ready
this morning to identify him.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Mm. Where are you now?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I might downstairs from you in the morning.
Speaker 9 (09:18):
Alright, Cli, come on up, come on in wuld you
tell him about that's marking me?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Nothing that would put the heat on Mark by itself.
If they're holding him, they.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
They must know more of I think he's lying myself.
He couldn't prove where he was when the police said
my husband died.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Are you sure you didn't mention that thirty five thousand
dollars polity to Mark?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I don't think I ever did. No, No, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Why did you come here? What do you want me
to do?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I'm I'm trying to get up my nerve, mister do
The real reason that I left Dick was because I
found out something.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Mark that he was doing Dutch ass.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
He built little boats models and they were hollow. He
brought dope into the country inside of him. I didn't
tell the police that because I was afraid of what
they'd do to me.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
For no one all the time you should be. Didn't
Mark know about it?
Speaker 9 (10:20):
No?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I never told anybody. But maybe it's important now.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
You're right, true or untrue, it is important. On the
back of the splain Plat, I lined up the things
that bore out the story. One the remains of the
ship models in his wrecked room. Two, the possibility that
Paul Krell may have been an arconic buyer and free
(10:47):
the address book that could have contained a list of customers.
But I didn't have a chance to do any more
probing when I got there. The place was under police investigations.
Sergeant Fern's up there, what of it? And I've been
working with him on this. My name is Dollar Insurance investigator.
All right, figure, thanks, that's all the activity and covers
(11:12):
empty this another body?
Speaker 9 (11:15):
What?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
First? Not enough?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Not too many? Who can figure these things? I could
figure it when I got this plane's door. Now the
evidence I hapened with concerned two murders. The body of
Paul Krell lay beaten to death in the middle of
the wrecked room.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
In just a moment, we'll return to the second act
of Yours Truly Tommy Dollars starring Edmund O'Brien, but first
house for trying to sing it again. Tonight, five thousand
dollars in cold hard cash and ten thousand dollars and
fine prizes are waiting for the CBS listener who can
solve the fat and Voice mystery. Dan Seymour will be
on and with those coast to coast phone calls again.
Alan Dale, Eugenie Baird, Bob Howard and the riddlers will
(12:05):
be making the music. And remember there's many a fine
prize for solving the tuneful riddle songs that lead to
the Phantom Voice mystery. It's an hour of fun music
to entertain you and perhaps payoff. Every Saturday night and
most of the same CBS stations. Here's singing again tonight,
won't you? And now with our star Edmund O'Brien, we
returned you to the second act of yours truly Johnny Dawes.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, the guy said he knows you want to come
in give him out. Oh dla, how does this happen?
You're showing up. I got tired waiting for your call.
You were going to phone this morning of anything broke
I was, And what kind of cooperation is this? I
gave you everything I got yesterday almost the land lady
tells me you came back here yesterday. You know what
things like that that lose life for guys like you.
(13:01):
I'm down, sergeant. You gave me the nod to go
ahead without waiting for the police not to mess around
with evidence. I'm on the verge of putting you away
forty eight hours for questioning. Don't talk me into it.
If you don't want to go, stay out of my hair, Okay, Sergian,
I guess we just put our cards on the tape.
What did you come here for? Yesterday? They get the
name of the plain ship. I figured it would be
(13:21):
easy to get it here than by making the rounds
of the hiring hose. I told you what I got
out of it, A few names and come here. There's
only one change. When we came back here to find
this body in the top brower of the bureau was
standing open. This envelope was torn with this stuff dump
on the top. Did you do this? No, hey, don't
touch that. Keep your hands where they belong with dusting
(13:43):
that stuff for Prince. Sorry, I guess i'd better get
out of here, Sergeant before you and I lockhorn. You're
beginning to make sense, though I thought I was too,
At least hope so the notebook from which i'd top
the list of names and addresses wasn't among the other
articles dumped on the bureau top. But Sogeant Burn's threat
(14:06):
to hold me for forty eight hours made it easy
to keep my mouth shut about it and about my
having met Krell.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Oh, oh, did they let Mark Luke.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Don't be funny? Of course they didn't.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Did you tell him about the little boats in it?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I thought it was better not too. Then another murder
at your husband's place? Who a little guy named Paul Prell?
That theydn't mean anything to you?
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I never heard it before? What's it all about?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
A lot of people are wondering where was Mark vond
last night?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
They don't think he did that one too.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I didn't ask, but I know how their minds work.
They have accused Mark of going back to cover tracks?
Where was he?
Speaker 5 (14:53):
He was right here with me?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Any witnesses to prove that?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
There's me? I know he was here? Don't I?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Under thirty five thousand dollars circumstances? That's hardly enough. How
do I know this? Narcotics goes? It's true?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
I don't get it. Why would I admit it if
it wasn't true. It's liable to get me in a
lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Isn't it. It could throw up a whale of a
smoke screen from Mark too.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Alright, I'll show you something. I got one hit in
the closet, didn't hear something? Yeah? Yeah, this one he
called a frigate. First year, you have to set it
on something. Yeah, then you twist this thing a mask.
I think this part opens up.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Let me see that. Mm, it's pretty.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Dick was always good with his hands. This is the
only thing he hits I got.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Maybe a chemist can prove whether or not it carried narcotics.
I can't. But assuming that was the case, who did
he sell you?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I don't know. I didn't want that kind of money.
And the minute I turn him out one night, I
told him to get out and never mention it again.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
It's too bad. If he was cutting in on a combination,
that might account for his death. But if he was
playing board with him at something else, which brings us
right back to your boy, Mark, have you thought of that?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
I know he didn't do it. If I thought he did,
would I look you up.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I'm taking the other approach. If he was innocent, why
would you bother tossing me this model ship owned that
you on expense account item five twenty five dollars blanket
item covering transportation for the rest of the day. At
the address of fol Krell, I learned what I believed
(16:28):
to be the truth that his association with Splain was
no more than a friendly one. From the list of
names I copied, I picked Jerome Kentner, who had the
closest address, an apartment about two hundred and fifty dollars
a month away from the park. Yes, mister Jerome Camperon. Yes,
(16:49):
And I could tink you about a man named Richard Splain.
I don't know any I don't give myself away. He's
not afraid zone, mister kent name, But you don't have
to be afraid of me. I'm not a policeman. I
suppose you wanna come in and he got better, right?
But he's a explain is dead. He was murdered night
(17:11):
before last. Oh that's bad, isn't it. How'd you find
out about me? There's a list of names in his
rooms cause it was one of them. You bought narcotics
from him? Ship models I collect him. Don't you see
them there in the case? Yeah? I know the Who
are you? What do you want? Private investigator? I wanna
find out who kills Splain? I didn't Why would I
(17:34):
do that? I don't know when did you last see him?
But it wasn't not before. I don't think I have
time so old. I don't want a blackmail, you want
answering them, but I will if I have to. It
was last week, sometimes Tuesday. I think, how well did
you know him? How mad? He might go? Betten through
friend of mine? Much this friend's name? Go ahead and blackmail.
(17:55):
I'm not talking anymore. Hm, shoot yourself. I'll leave my
phone number in case you changed your mind. The next
two stops yielded nothing. The names were either conveniently or
coincidentally out of town. The next Miss Francaint Wells and
(18:18):
address eighty second Street. Uh, missus Fransaint Wells. Please in
regard to what I'd rather tell her. If you don't know, I'm.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Afraid I'll have to insist you're a salesman.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No, I'm not a salesman. It's Miss Wells and young man.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
You have to tell me who you.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Are from me, Jed.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
I was expect remember, yes, I remember, and this gentleman
is not Fred.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Hello, I'd like to talk to you if I could,
Miss Wells.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
What about I don't know you do I No.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
You don't, but it's important that I speak to you
in private if possible.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
Dead be a good guy.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Go in the other room.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
For a minute and leave you all with this stranger will.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Not come on.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
It's probably something about.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Working it did.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Why must it be so private? Calculator your name?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
They help phone screen. No, if it's he's that private,
keep it low.
Speaker 9 (19:12):
He'll be this move.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
What's it all about?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Richard's splain?
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Who?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Richard? Splain?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Who did you ask for here?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Haven't either has been a mistake.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You must have come to the wrong place if your
name is trying to see, well as I haven't. It
was that name and a dress I found on this plant.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
How on earth? Reminding him and the dress? Head into
the apartment of a man I never heard of.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
We like we have mutual friends or some that m
Maybe you do. Your name is only one of a
dozen or more.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
I don't understand it all.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Who is this?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Richard's plain?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well, maybe you're ploy him without knowing his name. He
sold narcotics, he's been murdered.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
No, I like to.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
I am a pushover. Shock.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I'm sorry, I just worked out that way.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Your art stopped. You will sit down my guests downstairs. Huh,
I'll find that you would this day?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
What he said here?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I dreamed about it here?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
It is.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
What happened.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Why not think they'd a pressed the narcotics charge. I'm
trying to find out who killed him being paid by
his insurance company. When'd you see him last day?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Or two of gold?
Speaker 9 (20:27):
But what are his names?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
You mentioned so far? All customers you have him as
I made a consider?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
And do you think that one of them is the
name of whoever killed?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Is this?
Speaker 9 (20:39):
I really didn't know his name?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
How did you run it on him?
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I don't think it's important. I was introduced to him.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
By a friend, not a man named Mark Bond by
any chance, or a woman named Clara explains why.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
No, I don't know anything about him.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
That's enough to watch for the date of his ship
and was doing a right it was the government man
would be the next to show up at MYNN.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
I do what MM?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's not up to me. I can't promise you any help,
but I want you to look at the list of
names and tell me if you know any of them.
Anything I can do I will do.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
No, I don't know any more. I feel sorry for them.
I don't want to sound any might feel sorry for
my I don't.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
I was going to say I thought he deserved to
be killed, but not he's fague anymore than it's the
port of.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Oh, what difference does it make?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I want to leave my card with him in case
there's something you haven't told me, I'll jump down my hotel.
Most of the others I got to were pretty much
the same, mixtures of fear, desperation, sometimes defiance, and usually fatalism.
By the end of it, I arbitrarily set the name
(21:57):
Jay L. Tucker as the last for that day. He
lived in a cold water spread close to Greenwich Village,
and he was different.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Doesn't make any difference. Who knows it. I'n't heard these
things before, so you're wasting your time. You asked me
how I got in touch with Splain. I knew his wife,
does huh? She was shilling for him before they got
tired to ask her.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Here's her address? Hello Dollar. I just left a man
named Tucker. He said he knew you. I thought i'd
better call, Oh Tucker, how'd you find him? He tells me,
you made the contacts for your husband before you separated.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Why would he say it? Well?
Speaker 9 (22:42):
I knew about Tucker one night.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He just came up.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
He admitted he was looking for somebody and I told
him about sick. I didn't know what I was doing.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
I was stiff.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I've spent a long day and we're back to you, Shelley.
He look, don't decide to leave town expense a car,
had 'em six four dollars, A dinner at my hotel,
item seven tame amount, few brandies at the bar. I
had the idea I had spent a lot of energy
for nothing until the elevator dropped me at my floor
(23:15):
and I turned the corner toward my room.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Sorry, if you left your card with me, you must
expect your check.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I left my card a lot of places. I didn't
expect you as well.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
You don't seem who had any other checks?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Gome on in.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Well, you said if there was anything else I wanted
to tell you. Yeah, well, uh there is. Got a
long way back. I I don't know how these things
happened to some people and not others. I was no angel,
but I was all right.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
God, don't sit over here.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I've always told mysel that some people get sitting by
rattlesnakes and others dope, but it's not the same.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
And it was in school right after a party.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
Neither one of us had any stamps.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
He got it from somebody.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
Who is this in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 5 (24:09):
His name is Phil I I don't know. I came home,
never saw him again. Thought that was the start out.
It was only two years ago. I knew it would end,
kept wondering, holl Now it hasn't.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
What are you trying to tell me?
Speaker 9 (24:25):
I killed Richard's plain, That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Why?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Because I went to him without any money and he
ain't laughed at me. I don't know what happened to me.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
I picked up tell him, started to hit him, hit him,
hit him?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Why didn't you tell me this before I.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Could go through the ward?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
But I can't even happened this time.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I don't wanna go on it anymore.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I went to him without any money.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
I picked up the first thing I touched and started
to beat.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Was that an and irony?
Speaker 9 (25:03):
That's what he was?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
And Paul Croll you killed him too.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
I don't know it. I must, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It's a good try, but it won't work. This wasn't
a woman's killing, no matter how desperate she was. Do
you want me to go if you want to stay here?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Please?
Speaker 8 (25:27):
It isn't enough.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, yeah, I'm afraid you have Yeah, No, it's you.
(25:51):
Where's my daughter? I want to talk to you about it.
The Dwells somewhere in this apartment, if you haven't destroyed it,
is a piece of very important evidence. What's that, you say?
A note book containing a lot of names, among them
your daughters. Oh, she told you this hardly. She was
trying to protect you. She confessed the killing, which explained
(26:14):
I haven't the rest of her, not yet. She was lying.
You know, I'm afraid i'd do, mister Worlds. Not.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I'm glad I told her about it. If I heard
you leave. Are you married now? If you were, and
you were my age and has a daughter, you'd understand.
You know what it's like to watch her change.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
For a long time, I wondered, and i'd followed. When
I learned the truth, I killed him. Surely you don't
blame me.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I turned Wells over to the police, not Sergeant Burns,
and heard him explain his second killing, that of Paul Krell,
who had arrived, as well as whisking for any TRACE's
daughter might have left. Its plains remarks don't question the
policy payoff to claris Plain in spite of the fact
that she hardly deserves it. The keensicunt adam seven same

Speaker 2 (00:09):
That's right to work for you if you're busy.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I'm not sure good.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Our New York office got a call from the police
this morning. They investigated some trouble on the East Side
and found one of our policies of the scene and
wanted to find out what the company knew about the
man that covered, which was very little.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
What kind of trouble was it?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Nobody seems to know all the signs of murder. I understand,
but nobody.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Will you go down and.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
See what you can make of it?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Edmund O'Brien in another adventure of the Man with the action.
Expense account American's Fabulous Free Lance Insurance Investigator.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yours truly, Johnny Dalla. Expense account submitted by a special investigator,
Johnny Dollar to home Office, Corinthian Life Life and Liability
Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is accounting of expenditure
(01:05):
during my investigation of the richards Plain matters. Expense A
count Item one thirty five dollars trip from Hartford for
the scene of the crime, a part of Manhattan where
the citizens have been conditioned to sleeping through screams, gunshot,
and even the odors. I was met by a homicide
sergeant and the tenement platt he took me to lived
(01:27):
up to its first description. It did bear all the
signs of murders except our body. All that must have
taken a long time to accomplish. All this The place
rented in the name of Richard's plain. Yeah, what's the
address on his insurance policy? The number on Second Avenue?
(01:48):
If the report read on this so far, sergeant, you
can see everything which from the amount of busted furniture,
a violent struggle, from the amount and placement of budstains,
a sustained beating of someone there by the radiator. Nobody
heard it. Nobody cared if they did hear it. We've
asked questions, but the people won't admit anything. They don't
want to get involved. The landlady phoned us after she's
(02:11):
on the door open and looked in any bloodstains out
in the karta. You haven't found any. You've seen enough, Yeah,
I guess. So what's this part of some rec ship
model seemed to be Splain's hobby for electing them. Yeah,
there's not much we can do. I put this flat
under lock and key. We can hold it that way
(02:32):
for a while and wait for him to come back.
But that's about all until we have some concrete evidence,
like a body that will help. Are you going to
wait for us or follow it up yourself? Now I've
got that address on second it's his wife, isn't it.
And beneficiary and the policy. You can't do much with
her until she makes the missing person's report or something,
(02:53):
and she hasn't. Yeah, I get anything from her. I'll
let you out expensive con Item two a dollar and
a half tax EID of the second avenue address. Missus
Plaine was a rather dumpy blonde with tousled hair and
half applied lipstick. See obviously didn't want me to come in.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Well, it's not that I don't want to help any way,
I could, mister dollars, but I haven't seen much of
Dick lately.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
We split up, you know, No, I didn't. Okay, I've
been here clip.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Oh it's something about Dick.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Dick, what about it? It's sick of you get bothered
over that bum.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Oh now, Mark, hold your temper. This man is from
the insurance, mister Dollar, mister Bond.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Oh yeah, okay, what's insulance got to do with this?
Plain had a policy on his life? Missus Plain is
a beneficiary.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I guess I never told you, Mark. I almost forgot
about it myself.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Isn't very much thirty five thousand dollars? How did you
learn about what happened?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
It was a police forhm me wanted to know if
he was here. I told them the same as I
told you. We I don't even know if Dick was
he in or out?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
What he mean in or out in port?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
It was spe mm he worked on a boat.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
In his policy he listed his occupation as a carpenter.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Well, he used to be, but since the war he's
been a ship's carpenter. He's away all the time. That's
one of the reasons I dumped him.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That wasn't the worst Mark you talked to.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Mister Dollar. Will I go and put the rest of
my house? I feel like I'm not half read.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, what do you want to know about him? Whether
he's dead or alive? You think he'd called missus Plain
if he was hurting in trouble. No, I know for
sure he wouldn't. They quit. They meant it has there
been a divorce, not yet. It costs money. She hasn't
got any. I haven't splain as he's not letting loose.
Would you happen to know if there's somebody he would
turn to the police, check the hospitals without finding him. No,
(04:46):
I don't know where it goes. Hey, what makes you
so sure Splain is the one that get messed up.
Maybe he went to work on somebody else.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
That's what I was thinking. One thing I can tell
you from experience, it can take care of himself and
he's me. But Hones said's the very best I can do.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Mm okay, thanks here. I put my hotel room number
on my card in case you want a phone, and
I'll let you know if anything develops. Expense account item
three a dollar and a half to Splain's plat. I
decided that it would be easier to learn there the
(05:25):
name of his last chip, and with that I hoped
to find someone who was closer to him than his wife.
Sergeant Burns was no longer there, but a liar too.
Got a pass key from the landlady and I went
in the top drawer. The battered bureau produced not only
what I was looking for, but more. The name of
the ship was the Tangier, and an envelope that contained
(05:45):
a seamen's papers also contained a smaller dress book with
enough names and addresses to keep at least one investigator happy.
I started to jot them down, but got no more
than half way through. I hope you don't mind, sah GENTI.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Hey, what's out there?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oh you? What kind of sclaims?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (06:10):
I heard you moving in here and thought he was
in What happened?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Shut the door?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
What a mess?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Nobody seems to know what happened?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Who are you?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
What?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Cop? Private type explained dead? Who'd wanna kill him? I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I'm gonna ask him.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
All that blood and everything busted up?
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Look, I don't wanna get mixed up and it. I
I just know him like in the bar sometimes.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Wait a minute, come on, what's the idea, shorty? I
want you to tell me about fixed clam.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I don't know much about him.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You know enough to walk through his door before anyone
answered it?
Speaker 9 (06:48):
Well, sure I do that.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Sometimes I I come to talk to him sometimes when
he's in from the trip.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I can't go to them places.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And he tells me about him.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I'd like to hear about Tangier and them places. And
he shows with them ship models.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
He may do you know any of the people he does?
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Well, all I know is where he's been in.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Every stay's in Moon a week.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
He eats it swing me sometimes.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's just across the street.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
I can't help you.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Missing, Let me do difference. What my name is. I
don't want to get mixed up with somebody. Don't anything
about it. Come on now, please give me a break.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Will you?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Hey, what are you reaching.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
For my wallet? Well? Ten bucks pay their time?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Will You're a good guy?
Speaker 7 (07:26):
I'm sorry I can't help you more.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
He spends account item four ten dollars peace offerings. I
had a feeling. I paid for lies with it and
covered the possible loss by tailing the rabbity little man
to an address a few blocks away. His name turned
out to be Paul Krell. What was left in the
afternoon was spent on routine legwork, and at six I
was on the phone in my hotel room. This is
(07:57):
dollar sageant.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
How did you make it?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I've got nothing explain, and his wife separated and can't
afford a divorce. She's taken up with a guy named
Mark Bond. They both say they haven't seen or heard
from Splain for a long time. Yeah, A lot of
people don't know anything about that guy. H It seems
he's a ship carpenter. I got the name of the
ship went aboard. He's been with it for a couple
of years. Same one flies between here and North African ports.
(08:20):
Those people don't know much about any of their crew
made shore life, so I didn't get much. Few names
I can check tomorrow the Tangier White flagline peerady on
the East River. Have you run into anything? I'm still waiting. Well,
you've got my hotel. Yeah, thanks for calling them. Something
may turn up tonight.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
David does fo your first thing in the morning, Johnny Dalla, This.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Is Clara's great mister dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Ah, Hello, I gotta see you right away. Sure, what's up?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
They are risted Mark? You know you met him?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah? They found your husband.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Yeah, last nice. I've been down to the Morgar ready
this morning to identify him.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Mm. Where are you now?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I might downstairs from you in the morning.
Speaker 9 (09:18):
Alright, Cli, come on up, come on in wuld you
tell him about that's marking me?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Nothing that would put the heat on Mark by itself.
If they're holding him, they.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
They must know more of I think he's lying myself.
He couldn't prove where he was when the police said
my husband died.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Are you sure you didn't mention that thirty five thousand
dollars polity to Mark?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I don't think I ever did. No, No, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Why did you come here? What do you want me
to do?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I'm I'm trying to get up my nerve, mister do
The real reason that I left Dick was because I
found out something.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Mark that he was doing Dutch ass.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
He built little boats models and they were hollow. He
brought dope into the country inside of him. I didn't
tell the police that because I was afraid of what
they'd do to me.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
For no one all the time you should be. Didn't
Mark know about it?
Speaker 9 (10:20):
No?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I never told anybody. But maybe it's important now.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
You're right, true or untrue, it is important. On the
back of the splain Plat, I lined up the things
that bore out the story. One the remains of the
ship models in his wrecked room. Two, the possibility that
Paul Krell may have been an arconic buyer and free
(10:47):
the address book that could have contained a list of customers.
But I didn't have a chance to do any more
probing when I got there. The place was under police investigations.
Sergeant Fern's up there, what of it? And I've been
working with him on this. My name is Dollar Insurance investigator.
All right, figure, thanks, that's all the activity and covers
(11:12):
empty this another body?
Speaker 9 (11:15):
What?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
First? Not enough?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Not too many? Who can figure these things? I could
figure it when I got this plane's door. Now the
evidence I hapened with concerned two murders. The body of
Paul Krell lay beaten to death in the middle of
the wrecked room.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
In just a moment, we'll return to the second act
of Yours Truly Tommy Dollars starring Edmund O'Brien, but first
house for trying to sing it again. Tonight, five thousand
dollars in cold hard cash and ten thousand dollars and
fine prizes are waiting for the CBS listener who can
solve the fat and Voice mystery. Dan Seymour will be
on and with those coast to coast phone calls again.
Alan Dale, Eugenie Baird, Bob Howard and the riddlers will
(12:05):
be making the music. And remember there's many a fine
prize for solving the tuneful riddle songs that lead to
the Phantom Voice mystery. It's an hour of fun music
to entertain you and perhaps payoff. Every Saturday night and
most of the same CBS stations. Here's singing again tonight,
won't you? And now with our star Edmund O'Brien, we
returned you to the second act of yours truly Johnny Dawes.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, the guy said he knows you want to come
in give him out. Oh dla, how does this happen?
You're showing up. I got tired waiting for your call.
You were going to phone this morning of anything broke
I was, And what kind of cooperation is this? I
gave you everything I got yesterday almost the land lady
tells me you came back here yesterday. You know what
things like that that lose life for guys like you.
(13:01):
I'm down, sergeant. You gave me the nod to go
ahead without waiting for the police not to mess around
with evidence. I'm on the verge of putting you away
forty eight hours for questioning. Don't talk me into it.
If you don't want to go, stay out of my hair, Okay, Sergian,
I guess we just put our cards on the tape.
What did you come here for? Yesterday? They get the
name of the plain ship. I figured it would be
(13:21):
easy to get it here than by making the rounds
of the hiring hose. I told you what I got
out of it, A few names and come here. There's
only one change. When we came back here to find
this body in the top brower of the bureau was
standing open. This envelope was torn with this stuff dump
on the top. Did you do this? No, hey, don't
touch that. Keep your hands where they belong with dusting
(13:43):
that stuff for Prince. Sorry, I guess i'd better get
out of here, Sergeant before you and I lockhorn. You're
beginning to make sense, though I thought I was too,
At least hope so the notebook from which i'd top
the list of names and addresses wasn't among the other
articles dumped on the bureau top. But Sogeant Burn's threat
(14:06):
to hold me for forty eight hours made it easy
to keep my mouth shut about it and about my
having met Krell.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Oh, oh, did they let Mark Luke.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Don't be funny? Of course they didn't.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Did you tell him about the little boats in it?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I thought it was better not too. Then another murder
at your husband's place? Who a little guy named Paul Prell?
That theydn't mean anything to you?
Speaker 5 (14:39):
I never heard it before? What's it all about?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
A lot of people are wondering where was Mark vond
last night?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
They don't think he did that one too.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I didn't ask, but I know how their minds work.
They have accused Mark of going back to cover tracks?
Where was he?
Speaker 5 (14:53):
He was right here with me?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Any witnesses to prove that?
Speaker 5 (14:55):
There's me? I know he was here? Don't I?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Under thirty five thousand dollars circumstances? That's hardly enough. How
do I know this? Narcotics goes? It's true?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
I don't get it. Why would I admit it if
it wasn't true. It's liable to get me in a
lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Isn't it. It could throw up a whale of a
smoke screen from Mark too.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Alright, I'll show you something. I got one hit in
the closet, didn't hear something? Yeah? Yeah, this one he
called a frigate. First year, you have to set it
on something. Yeah, then you twist this thing a mask.
I think this part opens up.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Let me see that. Mm, it's pretty.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Dick was always good with his hands. This is the
only thing he hits I got.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Maybe a chemist can prove whether or not it carried narcotics.
I can't. But assuming that was the case, who did
he sell you?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I don't know. I didn't want that kind of money.
And the minute I turn him out one night, I
told him to get out and never mention it again.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
It's too bad. If he was cutting in on a combination,
that might account for his death. But if he was
playing board with him at something else, which brings us
right back to your boy, Mark, have you thought of that?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
I know he didn't do it. If I thought he did,
would I look you up.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
I'm taking the other approach. If he was innocent, why
would you bother tossing me this model ship owned that
you on expense account item five twenty five dollars blanket
item covering transportation for the rest of the day. At
the address of fol Krell, I learned what I believed
(16:28):
to be the truth that his association with Splain was
no more than a friendly one. From the list of
names I copied, I picked Jerome Kentner, who had the
closest address, an apartment about two hundred and fifty dollars
a month away from the park. Yes, mister Jerome Camperon. Yes,
(16:49):
And I could tink you about a man named Richard Splain.
I don't know any I don't give myself away. He's
not afraid zone, mister kent name, But you don't have
to be afraid of me. I'm not a policeman. I

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Go in the other room.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
For a minute and leave you all with this stranger will.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Not come on.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
It's probably something about.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Working it did.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Why must it be so private? Calculator your name?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
They help phone screen. No, if it's he's that private,
keep it low.
Speaker 9 (19:12):
He'll be this move.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
What's it all about?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Richard's splain?
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Who?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Richard? Splain?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Who did you ask for here?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Haven't either has been a mistake.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You must have come to the wrong place if your
name is trying to see, well as I haven't. It
was that name and a dress I found on this plant.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
How on earth? Reminding him and the dress? Head into
the apartment of a man I never heard of.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
We like we have mutual friends or some that m
Maybe you do. Your name is only one of a
dozen or more.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
I don't understand it all.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Who is this?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Richard's plain?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well, maybe you're ploy him without knowing his name. He
sold narcotics, he's been murdered.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
No, I like to.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
I am a pushover. Shock.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I'm sorry, I just worked out that way.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Your art stopped. You will sit down my guests downstairs. Huh,
I'll find that you would this day?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
What he said here?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I dreamed about it here?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
It is.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
What happened.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Why not think they'd a pressed the narcotics charge. I'm
trying to find out who killed him being paid by
his insurance company. When'd you see him last day?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Or two of gold?
Speaker 9 (20:27):
But what are his names?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
You mentioned so far? All customers you have him as
I made a consider?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
And do you think that one of them is the
name of whoever killed?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Is this?
Speaker 9 (20:39):
I really didn't know his name?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
How did you run it on him?
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I don't think it's important. I was introduced to him.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
By a friend, not a man named Mark Bond by
any chance, or a woman named Clara explains why.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
No, I don't know anything about him.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
That's enough to watch for the date of his ship
and was doing a right it was the government man
would be the next to show up at MYNN.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
I do what MM?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's not up to me. I can't promise you any help,
but I want you to look at the list of
names and tell me if you know any of them.
Anything I can do I will do.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
No, I don't know any more. I feel sorry for them.
I don't want to sound any might feel sorry for
my I don't.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
I was going to say I thought he deserved to
be killed, but not he's fague anymore than it's the
port of.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Oh, what difference does it make?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I want to leave my card with him in case
there's something you haven't told me, I'll jump down my hotel.
Most of the others I got to were pretty much
the same, mixtures of fear, desperation, sometimes defiance, and usually fatalism.
By the end of it, I arbitrarily set the name
(21:57):
Jay L. Tucker as the last for that day. He
lived in a cold water spread close to Greenwich Village,
and he was different.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Doesn't make any difference. Who knows it. I'n't heard these
things before, so you're wasting your time. You asked me
how I got in touch with Splain. I knew his wife,
does huh? She was shilling for him before they got
tired to ask her.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Here's her address? Hello Dollar. I just left a man
named Tucker. He said he knew you. I thought i'd
better call, Oh Tucker, how'd you find him? He tells me,
you made the contacts for your husband before you separated.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Why would he say it? Well?
Speaker 9 (22:42):
I knew about Tucker one night.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He just came up.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
He admitted he was looking for somebody and I told
him about sick. I didn't know what I was doing.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
I was stiff.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I've spent a long day and we're back to you, Shelley.
He look, don't decide to leave town expense a car,
had 'em six four dollars, A dinner at my hotel,
item seven tame amount, few brandies at the bar. I
had the idea I had spent a lot of energy
for nothing until the elevator dropped me at my floor
(23:15):
and I turned the corner toward my room.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Sorry, if you left your card with me, you must
expect your check.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I left my card a lot of places. I didn't
expect you as well.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
You don't seem who had any other checks?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Gome on in.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Well, you said if there was anything else I wanted
to tell you. Yeah, well, uh there is. Got a
long way back. I I don't know how these things
happened to some people and not others. I was no angel,
but I was all right.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
God, don't sit over here.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I've always told mysel that some people get sitting by
rattlesnakes and others dope, but it's not the same.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
And it was in school right after a party.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
Neither one of us had any stamps.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
He got it from somebody.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
Who is this in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 5 (24:09):
His name is Phil I I don't know. I came home,
never saw him again. Thought that was the start out.
It was only two years ago. I knew it would end,
kept wondering, holl Now it hasn't.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
What are you trying to tell me?
Speaker 9 (24:25):
I killed Richard's plain, That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Why?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Because I went to him without any money and he
ain't laughed at me. I don't know what happened to me.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
I picked up tell him, started to hit him, hit him,
hit him?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Why didn't you tell me this before I.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Could go through the ward?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
But I can't even happened this time.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I don't wanna go on it anymore.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I went to him without any money.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
I picked up the first thing I touched and started
to beat.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Was that an and irony?
Speaker 9 (25:03):
That's what he was?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
And Paul Croll you killed him too.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
I don't know it. I must, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It's a good try, but it won't work. This wasn't
a woman's killing, no matter how desperate she was. Do
you want me to go if you want to stay here?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Please?
Speaker 8 (25:27):
It isn't enough.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, yeah, I'm afraid you have Yeah, No, it's you.
(25:51):
Where's my daughter? I want to talk to you about it.
The Dwells somewhere in this apartment, if you haven't destroyed it,
is a piece of very important evidence. What's that, you say?
A note book containing a lot of names, among them
your daughters. Oh, she told you this hardly. She was
trying to protect you. She confessed the killing, which explained
(26:14):
I haven't the rest of her, not yet. She was lying.
You know, I'm afraid i'd do, mister Worlds. Not.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I'm glad I told her about it. If I heard
you leave. Are you married now? If you were, and
you were my age and has a daughter, you'd understand.
You know what it's like to watch her change.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
For a long time, I wondered, and i'd followed. When
I learned the truth, I killed him. Surely you don't
blame me.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I turned Wells over to the police, not Sergeant Burns,
and heard him explain his second killing, that of Paul Krell,
who had arrived, as well as whisking for any TRACE's
daughter might have left. Its plains remarks don't question the
policy payoff to claris Plain in spite of the fact
that she hardly deserves it. The keensicunt adam seven same
