Speaker 1 (00:00):
From Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's time now for Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Dolla.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
I received a message you called this is Roy Underwood.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh yes, miss stand Wood.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
I've been hired by the Plymouth Insurance Company to look
into the jewelry you reported stolen.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
That's what the message said.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
I wondered when I could see you find out if
you have any idea who's stole it.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I'll be in my apartment for the rest of the
night and I'll tell you everything you need to know.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I know stolet and I think I know where you
can find it.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
You make it sound very simple, miss stand Wood. I'll
see you after dinner, say eight thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Edmund O'Brien in the transcribed Adventure of the Man with
the Action Packed Expenser counts America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It is truly Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Expense account submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dolla to Office
Plymouth Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting
of expenditures during my investigation of the Virginia town matter.
Spends count ee of one twenty dollars transportation incidentals between
Hartford and the Hotel Bentley in New York City. I
contacted the policy holder, Roy Underwood, and at eight forty
(01:20):
five that first night, I arrived at the.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Sixty thirty three department. The meeting was not in private.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
We can go in the study.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Oh maybe I shouldn't have interrupted you on, man, it
won't take long.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I'll be right back a little business.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
What am I going to do with you? He just
sits there with that character and ignore.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Oh sure, Ellie, I'll talk to you about it in
a minute. Now, excuse me.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I hope you'll.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Pardon Meyer not introducing me to you. I will gets
a little out in hand sometimes. Here those whiskey on
the table.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
If you wanted.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Oh thanks, this jury you reported stolen. I have a description.
Will you look at it? Tell me if it's right.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, yes, this is correct. They were stolen by a
woman named Virginia Town. Yeah sure, then, yes, I'm sure
of it. She heard a party very much like this
one I saw leave of them. You didn't try to
stop her, of course I did. It's not my responsibility
to place the thief under arrest.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Did you notify the police?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
No? I was going to, but I thought better of it.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Next morning, I wanted to give her a chance to
think twice too.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Where should bring him back? I won't swear out and complain.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
The pieces are all women's jewelry, two bracelets and three rings. Yes,
I buy odd pieces when I can a reasonable price.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
How did she manage to get hold of them? I
were in my dresser drawer. She put them on, and
I told her to take them off. She refused and left.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
You mentioned on the phone that you thought you knew
where I could find this Virginia Town.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I'm not sure you understand. I tried to phone at
her apartment, but she moved out. Then I called her
closest friend, a girl called Francis Adams, and she said
she didn't know where Virginia was.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
But I think she was lying. I think Virginia was
right there.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Where do I find this Francis Adams?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Oh flat, some Lexington there fortieth.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
She's a check at the top hat and works till
four in the morning.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I'll give you an address.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Before I left, I was shown a posed photograph of
Virginia Town, inscribed to Roy with more thanks than I
can ever say. I didn't keep the photograph, but the
vision of the face in it stayed with me on
(03:50):
roy Underwoods hunch where Virginia Town might be. I came
to the address of her friend, Alexicon.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
That's the second Phil didn't he take?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh, miss Virginia Town.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Who are you?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
My name is Dollar. I'm an insurance investigator. I'm here
to talk to you about some jewelry owned by mister
Roy under one.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
What I come in? Please?
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Yes, Roy sent you here.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I'm working for the insurance company. Roy said he thought
you might be found.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Here, and he said the jewelry was here.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That's right. He said, you stole it, but.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
That's not true.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
He gave it to me. One of the bracelets for
Christmas last year, the other for my birthday. In the
rings at other times, you have proof of them, proof
he knows he gave them to me, He said proof.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
My instinct was that something like this might be the case,
but the people who hired me can't consider the personal angles.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I expected something like this under.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
What is proof of ownership?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
He insured the pieces to himself, and he undoubtedly has
bills of sale. You'll have to give it all back
or he'll go to the police.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
I can't give it all back.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I sold one of the bracelets, and you can buy
it again.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
No, I couldn't. Possibly. I sold it at a low
price because I didn't have any money and I had
to live.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You must have friends. Can't you borrow enough to get
it back?
Speaker 7 (05:16):
I have friends, I did, the ones I had before
I met Roy. One's a hat check girl like I was,
and I there's a cab driver. That's who I thought
was at the door when you knocked. You know the
kind of people who can scrape up fifteen hundred dollars
at the drop of a hat.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is that what you need?
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Leased that not much of a market for things like
that bracelet. I had to take a cut price that
or wait months for a buyer. But I had a
right to sell it.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
It was mine. I didn't steal it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
He said you did.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
He said you took it and the rest of the
stuff out of his dress of drawers.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Was a party going on?
Speaker 8 (05:46):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Did you go into his room?
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Yes, to tell him that I didn't want to see
him anymore.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
He laughed at me and said I'd come back to
him anytime he wanted me to.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I guess this is what he meant.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
If you were in there alone with him, it's his
word against yours. As I said, he has proof of ownership.
I'm afraid you're really in trouble unless.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
I crawl back. That'll be Phil, just the second Phil.
I don't know how he's going to take the news.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
There's nothing to do but tell him.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Phil's last name was Kelly. That matched his appearance.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
He was over forty, red hair beginning to gray as
he listened to his heavy, freckled hands started to clench
and unclench, and the look in his eyes convinced me
more than her words, that Virginia Town was telling the truth.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
The rest of the story came out Underwood.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
It had gotten her into a few chorus lines after
he talked her out of a job in a nightclub,
not because she had any outstanding talent except beauty, but
because of his influence.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
When he stopped using that to her advantage, there was
no more work.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
Till I finally got it through my empty head that
the father in debt I got the more he enjoyed it, so.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I stopped it the only way I knew how. I
told him it was finished.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It was, And she's no thief. She sold only what
was hers. She didn't steal them, Geegaus.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
It's not what I think, Kelly, it's what the police
can pile up in the way of evidence.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well, then the truth of it is, I sold the bracelet.
I stole it from her. I stole it from her,
and that's why she can't give it back. Tell him,
Matt and see what he can pile up against me.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I'll wait a minute, Kelly.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
No, now, you're being ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
There's no reason to bother mister Dollar with all this.
It's his job to turn the jewelry if he can,
and that's all.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But you're not going to see Virginia arrested because of
the personal feelings of this scum.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Now you no, I'm not. If I can help it.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Well, it's better.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
What are you going to do with, mister Dollar.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I'm going to give you some time to try to
raise the money. I'm overstepping my bounds, but I think
you deserve a break. I'll stole Underwood for two days.
Tell him I haven't found you. That's tomorrow and the
next day. That's the best I can do. That'll be
time enough, and I'll deliver.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
He's blasted gigaws myself with a slug and the teeth
to boot.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
I don't know how to thank you, mister Dollar.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Forget it. I'll check back with it.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I felt justified in letting personal feelings ruled me for
that short time, at least because I was sure the
company wouldn't want to be used in any kind of.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
A blackmail scheme.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I met Francis Adams, the girl with whom Virginia was
sharing the apartment, when I checked the progress the following afternoon.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
When I went back that evening, a couple.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Of hundred dollars had come in and Kelly was out
trying to raise more. I stayed there alone with Virginia,
waiting for him to come back, and I caught myself
thinking less about my part of it, or more about
the way she was facing what could be in her future.
She was uncomplaining, almost naively brave about accepting the possible
results of the mistake she had made. I returned to
(08:47):
my hotel and called Underwood. I knew I was on
thin ice when I stole him one more day, but
it had to end that third night, when she calmly
gave me the latest development.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
We couldn't buy the bracelet if we had five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Johnny, I don't get it.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
It's been cut up. Even one of the larger diamonds
has been cut.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
When did this come out this afternoon?
Speaker 6 (09:09):
About four?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Why didn't you call me then?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Because I didn't want anybody else to be here when
I told you about it.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
And that doesn't seem to make my next move any easier.
I don't have to go to Underwood tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
I know you will.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
That's why I wanted to tell you this way, cause
the next time I see you, you won't be my friend.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
It'll be just another man with some evidence. I've grown
used to you as a friend. Johnny.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I'm sorry it had to happen this way.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
No matter how it happened, I'm glad it.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Did you think we could forget all of it? I
wish would take.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Me someplace we can try. Where do you want to go?
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Any place just to have a couple of drinks? I
don't care. I just want to go someplace with you.
Come on, get up?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Sure?
Speaker 8 (09:55):
Hey what Johnny?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Hello? Anderwood? Come in?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Why was this nonsense?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You were talking on the phone, which you thought the
insurance company would be willing not to prosecute if the
loss was made up?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Who was going to make out the loss?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Forget it?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You'll leave us any way to stop chriss and forget it.
I certainly intend to. I got your stuff. I was
willing to show some lenienship. Everything was returned, but i'd
be a.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Finishing piece as listed as worth twenty four hundred dollars.
If you'll sign this claim, I'll turn it into the company.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
He's my past. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Can't afford to be taking advantage of by every beautiful
young thing that happens along.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Hey, what thanks?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Want to thank you for what you've done.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Nothing with a job, Underwood and nothing with a job.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
It was a quarter after twelve when I left Underwood's apartment.
I had to make my own report on the matter
to the police, and that took until two thirty. I
then had a lunch, went back to my hotel to pack,
planning to leave a Hortford as soon as possible.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It wasn't very soon.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Come yeah, Lieutenant Brinker homicide.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
What's up? Lieutenant?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You made a report earlier this afternoon on some jewelry
owned by one Roy Underwood that had been stolen and
then partially return I did, I guess we need another
statement from you. Stuff is missing again and Roy Underwood
has been shot to death.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Come on, we will return you to the second act
of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar, in just a moment, gay, tuneful,
(12:15):
funny and laden with luke. It's the hour long Sing
It Again, which comes to you every Saturday on most
of these same CPS stations. Jan Murray makes for the
laughs and buzzes listeners from coast to coast, asking the
solution to the phantom voice mystery, offering one thousand dollars
in cash if you get it right. Be listening for
Jan Murray and sing it again. Later tonight Dawn CBS.
(12:40):
Now with our star Edmund O'Brien, we return you to
the second act of yours, Truly, Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
On the way to headquarters, the Lieutenant Frank I learned
and that Underwood had been killed in his apartment.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
The report had been phoned in by the building.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Manager at two twenty that afternoon when he heard the
screaming of Alice Breen. She was the drunken young woman
I had run into the first night on the case.
She was being held as a material witness in spite
of the fact that the jewelry was again missing. The
police took a dim view of her story that she'd
entered the apartment and found Underwood dead.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
As far as I was concerned, there were.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
A number of things I wish I hadn't done, and
a number of things I wish I hadn't said in
my first report to the police.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Now you stated that after three days of searching, you
found the suspect in the original theft this morning, recovered
the stolen property minus one item, and returned it to
the owner. Do you think that between the time you
found this Virginia Town and started back to Underwood's apartment,
somebody could have learned about the jewelry and folowity.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I'm not sure somebody knew about it and planned to
steal it. I don't know why they didn't steal it
from the town girl.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
According to you report, this Virginia Town told you she
considered the property in question to be a.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Series of gift That's what she said that were true.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Do you think she would have conspired to arm robery
to regain it.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Why are you working these possibilities over, Lieutenant.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I'm trying to eliminate them as possibilities. This Sallas Breen.
We know she was involved with Underwood. We're told he
was pretty ruthless and getting rid of women. He was
through with mode of passion would be easier to work with.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I haven't heard her whole statement.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
She hasn't made a decent one. But what she told
the manager doesn't jibe with what she told us.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Lieutenant.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I can recheck the town girl's statements and maybe get
something if you'll let me.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Do it alone.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Why should we do that? You don't have to, but
she knows my sympathies are with her. I think she
was getting a bad deal from Underwood, and she knows.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I think.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
So.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You've got a good record here in New York, Dollar
you think you might do better alone. I guess I
can take a chance on you. You've got quite a
bit at stake yourself, haven't you.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I sent some men to Virginia Town's place. She wasn't there,
but the girl she Lizabe was What she told my
men makes it sound like you found her before you
said you're dead.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You can still take a chance on me, Lieutenant.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I hope so.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
Daughter.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
By the time I got to the Lectionson Avenue apartment.
The roommate Francis Adams was gone too, but through his
cab company, I did locate Phil Kelly.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I swear I didn't even know about it. I was
brought up to mourn the dead, but if you'll excuse me,
I can't bring myself to it this time.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
That's hard on that point. Where's Virginia? I don't know
where's Francis Adams?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I don't know that either.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
This is a workdayppen on the go since morning.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Where would Virginia go? You must have an idea.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
From what I have seen, I wouldn't be at all
surprised if she wasn't looking as hard for you as.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
You are for her.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Have you thought of that? Why would you do that?
You don't know?
Speaker 5 (15:48):
We'll come.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
She has the.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Strongest motive for the killing so far. If I can't
find it, I have to tell the police that's why
she's hiding. Now, that isn't so at all. What other
reason would she have? He'll ask me that, and I'll
have to Anne. She's no murderers, and she's acting mighty
like one.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Get into the cabin, I'll take you to her.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
That's the door. There.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
I won't go in with her if you don't mind.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I don't know she's there, she's there, Okay, I've got
a check on you, Kelly.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Phil s Dollar?
Speaker 6 (16:39):
I mean, why did you come here? Who told you
where I was?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
It's none of your business?
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Did your job, didn't you? You told me last night
no matter what your personal feelings were, you had to
do your job, so you did it. Why can't you
leave me alone?
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Now?
Speaker 4 (16:58):
If he was still alive at and still alive, the
police have been looking for you.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I Underwood's deead.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
You didn't know, of course I.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Didn't know, Johnny.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Why are you hiding?
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Because I didn't want to be arrested.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
You told me Roy was going to swear out a complaint.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
You didn't have a chance to starting at about one
o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Wherever you're been here, Johnny?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Please, how did you get here?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
What difference does that mean?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And how did he know where you were?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
I came here because you said Roy could swear out
a complaint and it was his word against mine, and
that somebody in the spot didn't have.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Much of a chance.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I wish you'd been as truthful with me. You mean
you've lied to me.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Oh I haven't.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Now I realized they were stupid, obvious lies, and I
believe them because I wanted to believe them. Johnny, you
told me Underwood gave you those things as presents Christmas,
birthdays and so on.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
The police have learned that he bought all of the
pieces on the same day at an auction year before last.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
I didn't know. I don't care what he bought him,
he gave them to me.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
You didn't tell me until last night that the bracelet
you sold had been cut up. The police learned that
the jeweler who bought had told you he was going
to cut it up.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
All right, I did lie. You offered me two days
to try and think of something to do.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I gave you three, and I'm in trouble because of them.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Is that all they mean?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah? Now, that's all they.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Mean, Johnny.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
How can you say that because.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Your lies have made you a lot less beautiful than
I thought you were. Johnny, I have to clear myself
with the police, not only about robbery but about murder.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
The only way I can do that is to take
you in that you clear up your lies. If you can.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
I'm sorry, Johnny about what that.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
It had to be this way, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
If you're ready to go, there's a camp waiting. It
was a silent trip the police headquarters in Kelly's taxi,
and Lieutenant Brinker allowed me the privilege of being present
while he questioned Virginia for two hours.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
When it was finished, Alice.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Breen, the material witness was released, and I walked out
of the building to.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Do a murky in New York. He mister Dollar, it's
still here, Kelly. Where else could that be? You want
to drive me back to my hotel?
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Sure, get in.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
When's she coming out?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I don't think she is, Kelly. Why not building up
quite a case against her? What about not killing that scum?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, she didn't do it, and you know it. I
don't know Kelly, well I do.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I know where she came from, and I know what
she is. She had nothing for so long that when
that Underwood gave her his line and made his rotten promises,
she thought it was heaven opening up to her. I know,
because she told me so with her eyes shining.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Can't you see You've just exposed her motive? She had
nothing when he found her and he was going to
send her back.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
With less a prison turn she didn't kill him.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Why do you keep saying that, Kelly, because I killed him.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
The motive you've given her was mine.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Do you think I'd stand by and let him send
her a prison? Do you think I'd do that knowing
Li since she was a baby and the mother and
father before.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Kelly, do you know where the jewelry is?
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I know where is it. I'll tell you in good time.
I want you to take me in there now.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
The police said the jewelry, Kelly, they're lying to me.
She told them when she'd taken it after she killed him,
and they found it there.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Maybe I'd better get another.

If words alone could stem the tide of rampaging communism,
it'll be fine, for talk is cheap, but no amount
of sidewalk gossip, intellectual discussion, or silver tongued oratory has
any effect on the ever surging threat of red aggression.
But there are things that communist does respect. He respects
adam bombs, he respects wide winged globe circling bombers. He
(22:50):
respects steel girded ships of the line. He respects well conditioned,
well equipped fighting men. Yes, this makes sense to him,
So let's make him rey expect us by providing these
things in great numbers. To do this takes money, and
we can help provide that money by buying United States
defense bonds. The month of May has been proclaimed Defense
(23:12):
Bond Month, and every American citizen is being asked to
get on the bond wagon. Sign up for the regular
purchase of bonds at your bank or place of employment.
If you're already doing that, try to buy an extra bond.
This has to be for remember only talk is cheap.
Just ten years ago this month, our government started the
(23:34):
sale of savings bonds. A few short months later, these
same bonds were known as war bonds. Today, with the
world suspended in a state of raw nerve existence, we
are asked to buy defense bonds. Let's buy them all
we can and now help provide the weapons of defense
and security, so that in a few short months they
(23:56):
will still be known as defense bonds, not war bonds.

It's time now for Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Dolla.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
I received a message you called this is Roy Underwood.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh yes, miss stand Wood.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
I've been hired by the Plymouth Insurance Company to look
into the jewelry you reported stolen.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
That's what the message said.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
I wondered when I could see you find out if
you have any idea who's stole it.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I'll be in my apartment for the rest of the
night and I'll tell you everything you need to know.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I know stolet and I think I know where you
can find it.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
You make it sound very simple, miss stand Wood. I'll
see you after dinner, say eight thirty.

Edmund O'Brien in the transcribed Adventure of the Man with

Speaker 1 (00:45):
It is truly Johnny Dollar.

Expense account submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dolla to Office
Plymouth Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting
of expenditures during my investigation of the Virginia town matter.
Spends count ee of one twenty dollars transportation incidentals between
Hartford and the Hotel Bentley in New York City. I
contacted the policy holder, Roy Underwood, and at eight forty
(01:20):
five that first night, I arrived at the.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Sixty thirty three department. The meeting was not in private.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
We can go in the study.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Oh maybe I shouldn't have interrupted you on, man, it
won't take long.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I'll be right back a little business.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
What am I going to do with you? He just
sits there with that character and ignore.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Oh sure, Ellie, I'll talk to you about it in
a minute. Now, excuse me.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I hope you'll.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Pardon Meyer not introducing me to you. I will gets
a little out in hand sometimes. Here those whiskey on
the table.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
If you wanted.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Oh thanks, this jury you reported stolen. I have a description.
Will you look at it? Tell me if it's right.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, yes, this is correct. They were stolen by a
woman named Virginia Town. Yeah sure, then, yes, I'm sure
of it. She heard a party very much like this
one I saw leave of them. You didn't try to
stop her, of course I did. It's not my responsibility
to place the thief under arrest.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Did you notify the police?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
No? I was going to, but I thought better of it.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Next morning, I wanted to give her a chance to
think twice too.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Where should bring him back? I won't swear out and complain.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
The pieces are all women's jewelry, two bracelets and three rings. Yes,
I buy odd pieces when I can a reasonable price.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
How did she manage to get hold of them? I
were in my dresser drawer. She put them on, and
I told her to take them off. She refused and left.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
You mentioned on the phone that you thought you knew
where I could find this Virginia Town.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I'm not sure you understand. I tried to phone at
her apartment, but she moved out. Then I called her
closest friend, a girl called Francis Adams, and she said
she didn't know where Virginia was.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
But I think she was lying. I think Virginia was
right there.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Where do I find this Francis Adams?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Oh flat, some Lexington there fortieth.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
She's a check at the top hat and works till
four in the morning.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
I'll give you an address.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Before I left, I was shown a posed photograph of
Virginia Town, inscribed to Roy with more thanks than I
can ever say. I didn't keep the photograph, but the
vision of the face in it stayed with me on
(03:50):
roy Underwoods hunch where Virginia Town might be. I came
to the address of her friend, Alexicon.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
That's the second Phil didn't he take?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh, miss Virginia Town.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Who are you?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
My name is Dollar. I'm an insurance investigator. I'm here
to talk to you about some jewelry owned by mister
Roy under one.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
What I come in? Please?
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Yes, Roy sent you here.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I'm working for the insurance company. Roy said he thought
you might be found.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Here, and he said the jewelry was here.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That's right. He said, you stole it, but.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
That's not true.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
He gave it to me. One of the bracelets for
Christmas last year, the other for my birthday. In the
rings at other times, you have proof of them, proof
he knows he gave them to me, He said proof.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
My instinct was that something like this might be the case,
but the people who hired me can't consider the personal angles.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I expected something like this under.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
What is proof of ownership?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
He insured the pieces to himself, and he undoubtedly has
bills of sale. You'll have to give it all back
or he'll go to the police.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
I can't give it all back.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I sold one of the bracelets, and you can buy
it again.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
No, I couldn't. Possibly. I sold it at a low
price because I didn't have any money and I had
to live.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You must have friends. Can't you borrow enough to get
it back?
Speaker 7 (05:16):
I have friends, I did, the ones I had before
I met Roy. One's a hat check girl like I was,
and I there's a cab driver. That's who I thought
was at the door when you knocked. You know the
kind of people who can scrape up fifteen hundred dollars
at the drop of a hat.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is that what you need?
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Leased that not much of a market for things like
that bracelet. I had to take a cut price that
or wait months for a buyer. But I had a
right to sell it.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
It was mine. I didn't steal it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
He said you did.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
He said you took it and the rest of the
stuff out of his dress of drawers.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Was a party going on?
Speaker 8 (05:46):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Did you go into his room?
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Yes, to tell him that I didn't want to see
him anymore.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
He laughed at me and said I'd come back to
him anytime he wanted me to.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I guess this is what he meant.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
If you were in there alone with him, it's his
word against yours. As I said, he has proof of ownership.
I'm afraid you're really in trouble unless.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
I crawl back. That'll be Phil, just the second Phil.
I don't know how he's going to take the news.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
There's nothing to do but tell him.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Phil's last name was Kelly. That matched his appearance.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
He was over forty, red hair beginning to gray as
he listened to his heavy, freckled hands started to clench
and unclench, and the look in his eyes convinced me
more than her words, that Virginia Town was telling the truth.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
The rest of the story came out Underwood.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
It had gotten her into a few chorus lines after
he talked her out of a job in a nightclub,
not because she had any outstanding talent except beauty, but
because of his influence.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
When he stopped using that to her advantage, there was
no more work.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
Till I finally got it through my empty head that
the father in debt I got the more he enjoyed it, so.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I stopped it the only way I knew how. I
told him it was finished.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It was, And she's no thief. She sold only what
was hers. She didn't steal them, Geegaus.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
It's not what I think, Kelly, it's what the police
can pile up in the way of evidence.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well, then the truth of it is, I sold the bracelet.
I stole it from her. I stole it from her,
and that's why she can't give it back. Tell him,
Matt and see what he can pile up against me.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I'll wait a minute, Kelly.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
No, now, you're being ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
There's no reason to bother mister Dollar with all this.
It's his job to turn the jewelry if he can,
and that's all.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But you're not going to see Virginia arrested because of
the personal feelings of this scum.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Now you no, I'm not. If I can help it.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Well, it's better.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
What are you going to do with, mister Dollar.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I'm going to give you some time to try to
raise the money. I'm overstepping my bounds, but I think
you deserve a break. I'll stole Underwood for two days.
Tell him I haven't found you. That's tomorrow and the
next day. That's the best I can do. That'll be
time enough, and I'll deliver.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
He's blasted gigaws myself with a slug and the teeth
to boot.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
I don't know how to thank you, mister Dollar.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Forget it. I'll check back with it.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I felt justified in letting personal feelings ruled me for
that short time, at least because I was sure the
company wouldn't want to be used in any kind of.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
A blackmail scheme.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I met Francis Adams, the girl with whom Virginia was
sharing the apartment, when I checked the progress the following afternoon.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
When I went back that evening, a couple.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Of hundred dollars had come in and Kelly was out
trying to raise more. I stayed there alone with Virginia,
waiting for him to come back, and I caught myself
thinking less about my part of it, or more about
the way she was facing what could be in her future.
She was uncomplaining, almost naively brave about accepting the possible
results of the mistake she had made. I returned to
(08:47):
my hotel and called Underwood. I knew I was on
thin ice when I stole him one more day, but
it had to end that third night, when she calmly
gave me the latest development.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
We couldn't buy the bracelet if we had five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Johnny, I don't get it.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
It's been cut up. Even one of the larger diamonds
has been cut.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
When did this come out this afternoon?
Speaker 6 (09:09):
About four?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Why didn't you call me then?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Because I didn't want anybody else to be here when
I told you about it.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
And that doesn't seem to make my next move any easier.
I don't have to go to Underwood tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
I know you will.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
That's why I wanted to tell you this way, cause
the next time I see you, you won't be my friend.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
It'll be just another man with some evidence. I've grown
used to you as a friend. Johnny.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I'm sorry it had to happen this way.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
No matter how it happened, I'm glad it.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Did you think we could forget all of it? I
wish would take.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Me someplace we can try. Where do you want to go?
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Any place just to have a couple of drinks? I
don't care. I just want to go someplace with you.
Come on, get up?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Sure?
Speaker 8 (09:55):
Hey what Johnny?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Hello? Anderwood? Come in?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Why was this nonsense?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You were talking on the phone, which you thought the
insurance company would be willing not to prosecute if the
loss was made up?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Who was going to make out the loss?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Forget it?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You'll leave us any way to stop chriss and forget it.
I certainly intend to. I got your stuff. I was
willing to show some lenienship. Everything was returned, but i'd
be a.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Finishing piece as listed as worth twenty four hundred dollars.
If you'll sign this claim, I'll turn it into the company.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
He's my past. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Can't afford to be taking advantage of by every beautiful
young thing that happens along.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Hey, what thanks?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Want to thank you for what you've done.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Nothing with a job, Underwood and nothing with a job.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
It was a quarter after twelve when I left Underwood's apartment.
I had to make my own report on the matter
to the police, and that took until two thirty. I
then had a lunch, went back to my hotel to pack,
planning to leave a Hortford as soon as possible.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It wasn't very soon.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Come yeah, Lieutenant Brinker homicide.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
What's up? Lieutenant?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You made a report earlier this afternoon on some jewelry
owned by one Roy Underwood that had been stolen and
then partially return I did, I guess we need another
statement from you. Stuff is missing again and Roy Underwood
has been shot to death.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Come on, we will return you to the second act
of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar, in just a moment, gay, tuneful,
(12:15):
funny and laden with luke. It's the hour long Sing
It Again, which comes to you every Saturday on most
of these same CPS stations. Jan Murray makes for the
laughs and buzzes listeners from coast to coast, asking the
solution to the phantom voice mystery, offering one thousand dollars
in cash if you get it right. Be listening for
Jan Murray and sing it again. Later tonight Dawn CBS.
(12:40):
Now with our star Edmund O'Brien, we return you to
the second act of yours, Truly, Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
On the way to headquarters, the Lieutenant Frank I learned
and that Underwood had been killed in his apartment.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
The report had been phoned in by the building.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Manager at two twenty that afternoon when he heard the
screaming of Alice Breen. She was the drunken young woman
I had run into the first night on the case.
She was being held as a material witness in spite
of the fact that the jewelry was again missing. The
police took a dim view of her story that she'd
entered the apartment and found Underwood dead.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
As far as I was concerned, there were.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
A number of things I wish I hadn't done, and
a number of things I wish I hadn't said in
my first report to the police.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Now you stated that after three days of searching, you
found the suspect in the original theft this morning, recovered
the stolen property minus one item, and returned it to
the owner. Do you think that between the time you
found this Virginia Town and started back to Underwood's apartment,
somebody could have learned about the jewelry and folowity.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I'm not sure somebody knew about it and planned to
steal it. I don't know why they didn't steal it
from the town girl.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
According to you report, this Virginia Town told you she
considered the property in question to be a.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Series of gift That's what she said that were true.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Do you think she would have conspired to arm robery
to regain it.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Why are you working these possibilities over, Lieutenant.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I'm trying to eliminate them as possibilities. This Sallas Breen.
We know she was involved with Underwood. We're told he
was pretty ruthless and getting rid of women. He was
through with mode of passion would be easier to work with.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I haven't heard her whole statement.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
She hasn't made a decent one. But what she told
the manager doesn't jibe with what she told us.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Lieutenant.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I can recheck the town girl's statements and maybe get
something if you'll let me.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Do it alone.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Why should we do that? You don't have to, but
she knows my sympathies are with her. I think she
was getting a bad deal from Underwood, and she knows.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I think.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
So.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
You've got a good record here in New York, Dollar
you think you might do better alone. I guess I
can take a chance on you. You've got quite a
bit at stake yourself, haven't you.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I sent some men to Virginia Town's place. She wasn't there,
but the girl she Lizabe was What she told my
men makes it sound like you found her before you
said you're dead.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You can still take a chance on me, Lieutenant.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I hope so.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
Daughter.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
By the time I got to the Lectionson Avenue apartment.
The roommate Francis Adams was gone too, but through his
cab company, I did locate Phil Kelly.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I swear I didn't even know about it. I was
brought up to mourn the dead, but if you'll excuse me,
I can't bring myself to it this time.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
That's hard on that point. Where's Virginia? I don't know
where's Francis Adams?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I don't know that either.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
This is a workdayppen on the go since morning.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Where would Virginia go? You must have an idea.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
From what I have seen, I wouldn't be at all
surprised if she wasn't looking as hard for you as.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
You are for her.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Have you thought of that? Why would you do that?
You don't know?
Speaker 5 (15:48):
We'll come.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
She has the.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Strongest motive for the killing so far. If I can't
find it, I have to tell the police that's why
she's hiding. Now, that isn't so at all. What other
reason would she have? He'll ask me that, and I'll
have to Anne. She's no murderers, and she's acting mighty
like one.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Get into the cabin, I'll take you to her.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
That's the door. There.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
I won't go in with her if you don't mind.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I don't know she's there, she's there, Okay, I've got
a check on you, Kelly.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Phil s Dollar?
Speaker 6 (16:39):
I mean, why did you come here? Who told you
where I was?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
It's none of your business?
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Did your job, didn't you? You told me last night
no matter what your personal feelings were, you had to
do your job, so you did it. Why can't you
leave me alone?
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Now?
Speaker 4 (16:58):
If he was still alive at and still alive, the
police have been looking for you.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I Underwood's deead.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
You didn't know, of course I.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Didn't know, Johnny.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Why are you hiding?
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Because I didn't want to be arrested.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
You told me Roy was going to swear out a complaint.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
You didn't have a chance to starting at about one
o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Wherever you're been here, Johnny?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Please, how did you get here?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
What difference does that mean?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
And how did he know where you were?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
I came here because you said Roy could swear out
a complaint and it was his word against mine, and
that somebody in the spot didn't have.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Much of a chance.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I wish you'd been as truthful with me. You mean
you've lied to me.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Oh I haven't.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Now I realized they were stupid, obvious lies, and I
believe them because I wanted to believe them. Johnny, you
told me Underwood gave you those things as presents Christmas,
birthdays and so on.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
It's true.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
The police have learned that he bought all of the
pieces on the same day at an auction year before last.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
I didn't know. I don't care what he bought him,
he gave them to me.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
You didn't tell me until last night that the bracelet
you sold had been cut up. The police learned that
the jeweler who bought had told you he was going
to cut it up.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
All right, I did lie. You offered me two days
to try and think of something to do.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I gave you three, and I'm in trouble because of them.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Is that all they mean?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah? Now, that's all they.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Mean, Johnny.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
How can you say that because.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Your lies have made you a lot less beautiful than
I thought you were. Johnny, I have to clear myself
with the police, not only about robbery but about murder.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
The only way I can do that is to take
you in that you clear up your lies. If you can.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
I'm sorry, Johnny about what that.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
It had to be this way, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
If you're ready to go, there's a camp waiting. It
was a silent trip the police headquarters in Kelly's taxi,
and Lieutenant Brinker allowed me the privilege of being present
while he questioned Virginia for two hours.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
When it was finished, Alice.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Breen, the material witness was released, and I walked out
of the building to.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Do a murky in New York. He mister Dollar, it's
still here, Kelly. Where else could that be? You want
to drive me back to my hotel?
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Sure, get in.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
When's she coming out?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I don't think she is, Kelly. Why not building up
quite a case against her? What about not killing that scum?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, she didn't do it, and you know it. I
don't know Kelly, well I do.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I know where she came from, and I know what
she is. She had nothing for so long that when
that Underwood gave her his line and made his rotten promises,
she thought it was heaven opening up to her. I know,
because she told me so with her eyes shining.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Can't you see You've just exposed her motive? She had
nothing when he found her and he was going to
send her back.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
With less a prison turn she didn't kill him.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Why do you keep saying that, Kelly, because I killed him.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
The motive you've given her was mine.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Do you think I'd stand by and let him send
her a prison? Do you think I'd do that knowing
Li since she was a baby and the mother and
father before.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Kelly, do you know where the jewelry is?
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I know where is it. I'll tell you in good time.
I want you to take me in there now.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
The police said the jewelry, Kelly, they're lying to me.
She told them when she'd taken it after she killed him,
and they found it there.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Maybe I'd better get another.

If words alone could stem the tide of rampaging communism,
it'll be fine, for talk is cheap, but no amount
of sidewalk gossip, intellectual discussion, or silver tongued oratory has
any effect on the ever surging threat of red aggression.
But there are things that communist does respect. He respects
adam bombs, he respects wide winged globe circling bombers. He
(22:50):
respects steel girded ships of the line. He respects well conditioned,
well equipped fighting men. Yes, this makes sense to him,
So let's make him rey expect us by providing these
things in great numbers. To do this takes money, and
we can help provide that money by buying United States
defense bonds. The month of May has been proclaimed Defense
(23:12):
Bond Month, and every American citizen is being asked to
get on the bond wagon. Sign up for the regular
purchase of bonds at your bank or place of employment.
If you're already doing that, try to buy an extra bond.
This has to be for remember only talk is cheap.
Just ten years ago this month, our government started the
(23:34):
sale of savings bonds. A few short months later, these
same bonds were known as war bonds. Today, with the
world suspended in a state of raw nerve existence, we
are asked to buy defense bonds. Let's buy them all
we can and now help provide the weapons of defense
and security, so that in a few short months they
(23:56):
will still be known as defense bonds, not war bonds.
