(02:00):
yes it is. Listen John,I know you found his amati violin.
Are you sure? But Ricardo Amerigohimself nothing, and after all, there's
not only the twenty thousand dollar policyon him. But what do you mean,
am I sure? Are you sureit was Amerigo's amti violin I found?
Why? What do you mean?What if it wasn't? What if
it was just an imitation? John? Stop it. That's in futt What

(02:23):
do you mean that thirty thousand dollarswell in short fiddle I picked up in
the South Jersey swamps may be aphony. Oh no, for heaven's sakes,
come over here to the office andtell me you will take it easy,
herod boy, until I've had timeto find out a few things.
Johns here tonight and every weekday night. Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of

(02:46):
the Man with the Action Pact,Expenser out America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator Yours
Turlie Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submittedby Special Investigator Johnny Dollar location in Philadelphia,

(03:07):
Pennsylvania, to the Philadelphia Mutual Liabilityand Casualty Company. Following is a
final accounting of expenditures incurred during myinvestigation of the Ricardo Amerigo matter. When
Ricardo Amerigo's car was hauled out ofa swamp somewhere near Port Morris, New
Jersey, there was no sign ofhis body, only a saw through steering

(03:28):
arm on the car that indicated somebodyhad done him dirt. However, I
did find the fiddle the thirty thousanddollars of money that had helped him become
one of the world's top concert violinists. Anyhow, with a fiddle under my
arm, I ended up at theshop of violin maker Eric Snowden for final
confirmation that it was the genuine Amudithat i'd found. This. Eric confirmed.

(03:49):
However, while we were in thesecond floor workroom of his shop onisming
A Street talking about the fiddle,somebody pounded on the street door downstairs.
Oh, bather, I'll be backin a moment, mister Doner. And
that's when I accidentally and so helping. It was accidental. I knocked open
the door of a cabinet and discoveredanother violin, identical in every respect with
the one I'd found in the swampat the scene of Amerigo's accidental death.

(04:11):
Okay, so I did exactly whatyou would have done. I put the
one in the cabinet into Amerigo's case, and the one from the case into
the cabinet. One of them wasthe genuine AMAI but which one? I'm
sorry, mister. He was soinsistent. I thought he was one of
my shall we say, better clients. As it turned out, it was
just a youngster who wanted to seeone of the new g strings. A

(04:32):
youngster. I see you're joking.But now let me take this magnificent instrument.
Readjust the sound post and bridge sothat No, no, wait,
mister snowdon it's later than I thought. There are some things I must do
immediately. Suppose I come back herelater, it will meantime. I shall
make the adjustments on the amarty torestore it. No, no, I've
got to take it with me.But I don't understand. There are a

(04:55):
few things in this case I don'tunderstand right this minute. But I hope
to before very long. Mister Doller, you're talking riddles. Why don't you
leave the violets later? But pleasebe careful with it. If anything should
happen to that priceless don't worry,nothing will happen to it. I found
that I'd almost spoken too soon,for I pounded down the stairs, across
the floor of the store and outof the door without the caution the book

(05:18):
says one should exercise when leaving asuspect. In a case, i'd no
sooner got out on the streets.There was a flower pot big enough to
have killed a horse, and it'sfall from the upper story window ledge was
an accident, but I didn't wait. Expense account item fourteen ten cents.

(05:39):
Phone called to Harry Branson at theinsurance company to have the police put a
man on Eric Snowden's shop immediately tomake sure he wouldn't try to skip.
I had him fifteen seven to fiftyfor a cab to the house of fiddle
playing Jerry Goldsmith out in Lanark.Mister, hello, Gldsmith. Idn't expect
it like you left in rather ahurry early. Sorry, I had to

(06:01):
keep a date. Hey, lookJerry, when I was here before.
I still have the violin. Yes, yes, when I was here earlier
and you played it, you didn'tseem to think it was really Ricardo Amarigo's
AMAI. Oh no, I didn'tsay that at or at least it didn't
sound like it when you played it. Yes, mister Della, that's right.
Oh oh, think a minute.You were a bit upset, excited,

(06:23):
whatever you want to call it whenI brought it to you. Yes,
that's true. Nevertheless, and Ithink you were also afraid I might
have suspected you of Amerigo's murder whenyou admitted his violin was the one thing
you wanted more than anything else inlife, except, of course, to
have Ricardo straightened out, become himselfagain, become the artist again, deserve
to have this. I don't know. Whatever I say, it seems to
make it sound like an I knowthat Jerry calmed down. Well you,

(06:46):
I'm not trying to pin a murderrap on you. Calm down and do
something for me, will you?Well? Yes, of course what here?
Have you had something done to itto restore the tone that used to
hasn't been touched by anyone else sinceI laid my hands on it, but
I want you to play it again. Yes, of course I will.
But didn't you say it's a littlefool with the music store cleaned the cherry.
It hasn't been touched by anyone elsesince I laid my hands on it.

(07:10):
I'll play it all right, Goahead, Cherry. M hm.

(07:47):
It's them, isn't it. Yes, it's It's the beautiful, wonderful funny.

(08:11):
I never realized what a violin could. Can you hear me, Jerry?
Yes? Yes, And I thinkit's taken something like this to lead
me to a killer. Expenser Countitem sixteen four to twenty cave to Philadelphia
Mutual the office of Harry Branston.But if you're right, John, you

(08:33):
mustn't go out there alone. Don'tyou understand if he's the man who planned
the murder Ricardo Amerigo, he wouldn'tstop. Yes, yes, I had
the police put a man out thereat a couple of shop, But John,
I still think Expencer Count Item seventeena dollar sixty. The buck was
a tip for going through a coupleof red lights back to the shop of
the violin maker. Eric Snowden,mister Dalhi'm mister Snowdon. I'm afraid I

(08:58):
left you rather abruptly a while ago. Mister dorit that near accident when you
left that floor, But I don'tknow how it possibly could have shifted on
the window ledge up on the thirdfloor window ledge of this little combination store
workshop on home of yours. Thatmuch I did notice while I was ducking
it. If it had come offa second floor window, you know,
I might have suspected you have givenit a helpful shot. Doll, you

(09:20):
can't possibly mean I forget it forthe moment. But let's go up to
your workshop on the second floor.Come on, yes, of course,
But may I ask why? Iwant to show you something? And I
think you know what? No,I certainly don't unless something has happened to
the Amati. Oh something certainly hasyou damaged it since you were here?

(09:41):
No such luck? Please? Whatare you talking about? Okay? Here?
Now tell me the truth? Isthis Ricardo Amerigo's Amari Violin? Yes,
yes, told you so, you'resure? Of course, I'm sure

(10:03):
you know something you want, ButI am what. I'll open that cabinet
there beside your work table because Itell you to, But I just what
are you getting at? Dollar?Are you going to open it or shall
I? No? Get out ofhere. This is my shop, my
place. You you can't do thissort of thing to me, which you
rather the police did. They're ontheir way please, But I well,

(10:28):
there's no need to open it,Ricardo Emerigo. So Amati, isn't it?
Well, that's where you're wrong.This is the AMAI in this case,
the one in the cabinet is theidentical copy of the AMAI that you
made. Yes, mister Dollar,Why Snowden, Because the loss of this

(10:52):
priceless instrument would have been unthinkable,thirty insurance on it. Money doesn't buy
a violin like this. It mustbe played by an artist, by many
artists, like the artist Ricardo was. So so when Ricardo disappeared, I
was murdered. When Ricardo disappeared,I had to make sure that the Amati

(11:13):
wood would still. I didn't murderhim. Isn't this the hack saw that
cut the steering rod on his car? Well, Snowden, isn't it?
Yes? No? And because ofit, and you're a crazy plan to
keep the real Amati, you andyou alone are going to take the raft
for Amerigo's murder. No, no, please, Ricky right sir, that's

(11:37):
right, mister Dollary. I'm RicardoAmrigo. What the dirty drunken has been
that started all this? So Ithrew the stirring rod on my car wrecked
in the swamp, left some ofmy clothing there. That pony fiddle was
my idea, not to collect theinsurance on it, not that alone,

(11:58):
but to make sure it could comeback again, be played again by somebody
that deserved to play it the wayI the way. Perhaps one time I
deserve to play it. But cardela man disappears, murder whatever. There's

(12:20):
a fuss about it for a while, and it's over. But this,
now, this must live and smilingyou will. Now the world will be
the better for it, but youwill, and it's apparent murder. The
insurance was my last hope of payingback Pete Corbin, my agent, and

(12:41):
the others who tried so hard tostraighten me out. Pay back some of
the money and the heartbreak they spenton me, or let your insurance company
pay them back. Because I nevercould. I couldn't even leave my hiding
place here in Eric's because I knewit's sooner or later he'd pity me enough

(13:03):
to give me more of the drink. That's been all I've been living for
Eric. God bless him. Ericknew, of course, but only he
be kind to him. If youcan't, Ricky, that's all, mister
Dollar. Oh unless will you buyme a drink before you're calling the police.

(13:33):
Expense account I am seventeen eight fiftyone bottle of the best I could
buy before I call in the policeHut of eighteen hotel in Philadelphia. Miscellaneous
fair back to Hartford total expense accountone eighty two sixty five remarks. No
insurance payment necessary on either the amatior the man. And I guess he
really was a man more than heknew what the courts will do about him

(13:58):
and about Eric Snowden, Well,the courts will do. And I'm glad
I have to have no part inthis. You know that's funny. Somehow
I think I have a little betterappreciation for music now than Oh, well,
yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Rememberthere'll be another intriguing story for you

(14:31):
beginning next Monday night. Next week. The Duke red Matter a race horse
that can only be stopped by akiller, and the killer didn't stop with
horses. Join us won't you YoursTruly, Johnny Dollar. Yours Truly Johnny

(14:54):
Dollar is starring Bob Bailey, istranscribed in Hollywood. It is produced and
directed by Jack Johnstone, who alsowrote this week's story. Heard in the
cast were Harry Bartel, Laurence Dubkin, Victor Perrin, Barney Phillips, Forres
Lewis, Eric Snowden, Herb Bigron, and James McAllion. Musical supervisor and
violinist Amrigo Marino. Be sure tojoin us on Monday night, same time

(15:18):
and station, or another exciting storyof Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. This
is Roy Rowan speaking Welcome back.Well. This was a somewhat unusual story

(16:33):
for a lot of reasons. Firstof all, Johnstone actually wrote the story,
and he wrote it under his ownname. That's unusual because Jack Johnstone
wrote a lot of radio scripts,but most of them were under pseudonyms.
For whatever reason, this one hegoes ahead and owns it as one of
his own. And I thought itwas a pretty good script. I have

(16:56):
to this is my second time listeningto all of these fifteen minute serials,
but I have to admit I waskind of very surprised. I was not
planning on Ricardo Amerigo being alive thefirst time I listened to it, So
it definitely took me for surprise,and I'm sure it did you. The
other thing that's worth noting here,you know, as I listened to this

(17:21):
show, you know, I listenedto the closing credits, I didn't hear
any female names. And I thoughtback over the serial, and I didn't
remember hearing any female characters in thisentire program. And that's kind of unusual
when we're dealing with not just youknow, a half hour program, which
might happen. I don't recall thathappening too often, but in this case,

(17:44):
we're dealing with, you know,sixty seventy minutes worth of programming and
no female characters. Very unusual inthat regard. And also the borrowing of
names you know mentioned previous Eric Snowden, but the Amarigo, of course,

(18:04):
was the first name of the uh, the guy who did the music on
the program, and it became thelast name of the violinist in the story.
So I don't know if you shouldtechnically be reusing names like that,
but I guess that, uh,that that worked. Overall overall, a

(18:30):
pretty good story well, now weturned to High Sky Hoodoo, and I
did want to share a little news. I found a log on the Australian
OTR website and it actually has anearlier date for the Carter Brown stories that
I initially have And uh, actuallythey had High Sky Hoodoo that series airing

(18:59):
the week of Decen number twenty firstof nineteen fifty seven, so a little
earlier than I had thought. Solet's go ahead and we'll we'll take a
lesson. It's time for High SkyHoodoo Part two, Cattera Brown Mysteries,

(19:33):
Adventures and Excitement and Suspense, basedon the best selling novels by the slick
storytelling sensation Karta Brown. The morningdawned bright with determination for me. The

(20:06):
Old Man and Sue Pearson may havetaken what I said for bravado, but
I was determined to prove that theJinx tag they'd fixed on Whitney Kent was
a lie. I decided to saynothing about the visit of Slade, the
Blue Circle Detective Agency man. Thatwas something I'd take up later with Milton
Moore. First, I wanted wordswith Jim Berg, a security man.
Well morning, Whitney, the supersalesman with a no good product. Now

(20:29):
you got my sympathy, pal,Thanks for nothing. What gives Jim anything
new? Another thing? Top brasserin conference this morning they're gonna use hangar
C to start on the next Fninety two. K I gotta have four
guards around that building night and dayfrom here on. Who gets in Only
the staff connected with the work andthe executives. I'm sorry, Witt,
you're not included. It was yourfather's instructions. Oh that's okay, Jim.

(20:52):
He told me to take three weeksvacation. Looks like he means it.
You have any leads? No?I figured Geen Latimer made a mistake
somewhere, like the Air Force charactersays. But I'm no engineer, just
an x FBI man trying to makea living. So I have to resume
the plane with sabotaged. Right now, I'm starting a double check on all
the employees who've got to got nearthat plane. How many of them are

(21:15):
there? Over one hundred? Lookslike quite a job, doesn't it,
mister burg I wish you luck,you will need every ounce of it.
Well you're around bright and early Whitney, just paying my round of calls chuck
him. He's got mister Moore withhim, then maybe I won't bother.

(21:36):
I've got something to say to you. Anything from those luscious lips I will
listen to with pleasure. Not this, you won't. It's about last night,
the way you talked to your father. Why can't you even try to
appreciate his point of view? Hispoint of view goes no further than Kent
aircraft. Everything else runs a badsecond. You're a fool, Whitney,
and you're a beautiful girl. Butif you don't stop worrying about your boss

(21:56):
and start enjoying life, you'll lookin your mirror one morning and realize it's
too late. You'll finish up seniorstenographer to late pension. You off,
Oh sue, mister Kent free atthe moment. I'm sorry, miss Latimer,
he's in conference. Well, Isee him later. At just a
minute, Jane, I'm busy,Whitney, not too busy for what I've
got to say. I've thought ofa perfect solution to your problem. Oh

(22:18):
yeah, when you've got this nextf ninety two k ready to test,
let me fly it. That's whatyou've been after all the time. Let's
not argue about that. Look atanother way. If the plane's okay,
everything's fine. The Air Force resumestheir deliveries. The orders I've taken can
be filled. On the other hand, of the plane doesn't work if it
goes in the same way that onedid yesterday morning. Who gets crisped up?

(22:41):
You do, right? So ifit does borrow its way into the
dirt and takes Whitney Kent with it, at least you know that one line
of investigation is closed. What aboutit? It's worth thinking about. I'll
devote quite a lot of thought toyour proposition. Good morning. Why do
you have this here? Why didn'tyou let the experts work it out?

(23:02):
People like Latimer and Jim Berg andthe others. It's their job except for
one thing. They can't fly.They can never appreciate how Hank Jordan felt
when the plane got away from him. It's beyond their experience, but not
beyond yours, because you're not onlya flyer, but a hero as well.
Yeah, if you wanted that way, that's just how I do feel.
You've spent your life shining the seatof your skirt on a stenographer's chair.
You don't know any more about itand the rest of them. Who

(23:23):
heck you to sneer the guys whofly the plane. I wasn't sneering at
the real heroes, Whitney, onlythe Tony ones. Thanks for those kind
words. One of these days you'lleat them and they'll give you indigestion.
I swept out of our office andheaded down the car door to the office
of Milton Moore. I figured he'dbe finished with his conference with Chuck pretty

(23:45):
soon, and I wanted to talkwith the new director. It was easy
to ignore More's redheaded secretary's protests,though not a profile, and I settled
down in his private office to wait. Is this the customary procedure around here,
mister Kent, brusting into people's officeswithout permission? Oh, I'll give

(24:06):
you permission, mister Moore, youcan come right in. You're a kind
of behavior or something I am notaccustomed to. There's something I'm not accustomed
to either. That's having a privatedetective go through my bags in my hotel
room. Oh, a Blue Circleagent name of Slade. That's the outfit
you engaged, isn't it. What'sthe idea having them investigate me? Even
a young poplike you orter to havesense enough to see that Laimer's accusations against

(24:27):
you, wild as they may havebeen, should be checked. Now,
will you get out of my officein a minute. How are things with
the ace Arrow Corporation these days?I wouldn't know how were they when you're
left? All right? What arethey building jets? Naturally bombers or fighters?
Fighters as good as the F ninetytwo K. No, Just what

(24:51):
is it you're trying to insinuate,young man? I was just wondering.
You pulled a Arrow out of trouble, You put them back on their feet
and left them. I wondered why. I wondered if you still had any
association with Acero financial Association. Imean, it just occurred to me that
if you had, you are backinga losing proposition. When Kent Aircraft produced

(25:11):
the F ninety two K. Isthat all? No? It also occurred
to me that, on the otherhand, if Kent Aircraft had a lot
of trouble with their planes, thenmaybe ace Ero could buy them out cheaply
when the psychological moment came, andif Asaro could then build the F ninety
two K without bugs, they couldsell them good. Are you seriously suggesting

(25:32):
that I would descend to murder justto protect my capital. I'm not suggesting
anything. I'm only thinking out love. I must say you go in for
original thinking, Kent. I'd bettertell you some of the facts of an
executive's life. I didn't have anycapital interest in Acero for one simple reason.
I didn't have any capital. Twentyfive percent holding I have in your

(25:55):
father's organization was bought with money loanto me by Owen Holmeyer to invest the
money in this firm. He knewwhat I'd done for ace Aero, so
he was prepared to lend me capitalto invest. He thought of it as
a safeguard for his own investment.Oh so you see, Kent, that
if anyone has good reason for wantingKent Aircraft to sell their F ninety two
k's again, it's me, Iguess. So now do you mind leaving

(26:21):
my office? I have work todo. Of all the crazy fool things
to do, not to me,chuck. Mister Moore was having me investigated,
so I thought I might give hima little of the same treatment.
I'm not talking about that more hadit coming. You gave it to him,

(26:41):
and me feel sort of proud ofyou the first time. Oh with
me. There were many times whenyou were in Korea when I was proud
of you, and I was proudof you in Europe too, proving that
you could sell aircraft with the bestof them. What is this old home
weekends? But I'm mad at you. How when the name of creation could
din'd you do a stupid thing likethat? I thought you said more had

(27:03):
it coming. I'm not talking aboutMore. I'm talking about that crazy fool
offer you made to Geen Latimer.Oh that yeah, that Latimer wants to
take you up on the offer.Olmeyern Moore think it's a great idea.
What the heck could I say?But you figured it's a great idea too,
That's what I did say. Soyou're all set to fly the next
ninety two k when Saturday they're workingtwenty four hours a day. Oh that's

(27:26):
fine, Sue says, you've gota hero complex. I think it's a
plane darn full complex. Maybe,But Jean Latimer was right about one thing.
I threw the first one away byflying it when I wasn't exactly sober.
That gives me a sort of responsibility. Chuck boy scout stuff it's more
than that that first plane had bugs. If I'd been sober, I could

(27:48):
have told you what particular bugget was. I can't remember anything. Well,
well, I've got a feeling.If that plane still has bugs and I
fly, I think the memory mightcome back and I might be able to
do something about it. For it'stoo late. Maybe you aren't such a
dawn fool after all, you reallywant to fly the F ninety two.
K of course, Okay, that'swhat I wanted to know that. It

(28:11):
wasn't just bravado. What you saymakes sort of sense. I think,
Thanks you and comfortable at the beachhouse. Sure, anytime you feel like
eating real food, come up tothe house for dinner. Thanks, I'll
get out of here. I'm busy, Okay, I'll leave it to a
chuck. Well, congratulations with mean interview with your father? Oh,

(28:41):
the perfect secretary keeps the other comeopen so she can hear everything that goes
on. Huh. Well, Idon't make a habit of it, but
I did that time. Come herewith me? What for? I'd like
to kiss you? Well, sowhat do I owe that tremendous experience?

(29:10):
You could call this an apology?I was quite wrong about you, Whitney,
Kent. I'm sort of glad Iwas wrong too. I'd spent a
lot of my time waiting, especiallyin Korea, but no waiting time was

(29:30):
as bad as the days. Whilethe IF ninety two k was got ready.
Came Friday and I went down tothe planet. The old man was
with me. We're fixing the takeoffat seven am tomorrow with I've got it
cleared with the Air Force, Okay, thirty minutes to find the area and
so forth, so you can collectall the dope this afternoon metroports, et
cetera. I thought i'd clicked someflying here to day. I had it

(29:52):
taken into the hangar. Here Berg'sdoubling the guard tonight and is watching things
himself as well. Good. Oh, there's a lot of her stroke the
fuselage like it was a tame cat. Hello there, Jean. Hi,
Whitney, Well, there's nothing wrongwith it. I've checked every inch of
it, and I shouldn't have anytrouble tomorrow. Whitney, it occurs to
me that I said a lot ofstupid things a while back. I'm sorry,

(30:15):
that's okay, Gene. I canappreciate how you felt, and that's
my gear there. Huh yup.I think I'd like to take the parachute
out and have a look at it, but it's all packed, and I'd
like it unpacked. After all,I am flying this batter box tomorrow.
Okay, Whitney, whatever you say. I had a queer crawling feeling along

(30:38):
my spine when the shoot was unfoldedand billowed out and hanger's expense, I
realized why there was a six footslit across the center. That shoot wouldn't
have brought a mouse down safely,let alone a guy of my weight,
Lahimer, what's the meaning of this? Don't ask me, mister Kent.
As far as I knew, thatshoot was get them packed properly. Lucky

(31:00):
for me, I took a look. I think I'll borrow one from the
Air Force and bring it along inthe morning and put it in myself.
Wait, if they could do thatto the shoot, as chuck, what
could they do to the plane?Welcome back? Well, I have to

(31:30):
admit this is really my favorite ofthe Card of Brown story so far.
Really some good dramatic tension and somereal sense of suspense, And this character
here is really a multi dimensional multifaceted, so I'm really enjoying this. I

(31:51):
hope you are as well, andwe will be back for the next part
of High Sky Who Do next week. I do want to also let you
know that on Monday we have abrand new Johnny Dollar Cereal to go ahead
