You.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
You were wresting my guns, rocking out of hill, and
mother was saying anywhere he would take a turner on
the bed And suddenly we were mid air over the
railing and the shot boy.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I came to the tracks six feet from an unconscious
little guy who called himself Smith. I couldn't feel my
back or legs. I was bleeding badly. Smith looked twice
as bad as I thought. I watched his hands feel
(15:42):
around blinders of the gun, laying her foot away.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
He was half dead, but still concentrating on bus. I
started crawling. I got to the gun first.

a blonde name Jesse marry me? And I take a powder?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
They'll say, yeah, I've got the answer.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I know all three of you got the answers. You
clam up and you're a dead man Smith. Then I'm like,
dead man, you're not gonna talk. I stood over a
lot of guys in my time. I just standing up

Speaker 2 (16:44):
You got the gun? Yeah, I've got the gun. I
killed the killer.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I kept telling myself self defense that I had exterminated
a rat, that somebody should put a badge.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
On me for doing it.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
In an hour, before I could bring myself to drag
Smith into the woods, I left him under a clump
of blueberry bushes and headed back.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
To town to find the hot throb i'd married.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I found her in the last place I expected her
to be, right in my room at the Standbrook curled
up on a sofa like someone cadnapping.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Jesse, Jessie, I'm gonna save my breath.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I'd be a widower longer than i'd been a bridegroom.
Jesse was stone dead.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Haven't you been traveling in the wrong direction? Happy? I'll
tell her? How did you get in here?
Speaker 1 (17:56):

I left your quarter of a million dollar estate. My
uncle Jonas. I hardly remember him. You will when they
read the world tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
He'd been advertising everywhere publishing your picture for months before
his death.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I think I never saw an ed.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
You don't read the papers, You just sleep under them
on park benches.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
What was Smith's angle?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Smith is Michael Doloner, this relative of yours and an
aspiring air wanted desperately to succeed you.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That is, over your dead body. The girl's angle was obvious. Yeah,
marry me.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Let Smith knock me off and be my legal widow. Yes,
and my angle explains itself. You cut in for hair,
and I was weighing machine cards with just a way
of getting me to play soccer.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah. The hotel management ringing happy.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
They're curious about city overnight guests to check in without baggage.
I'll be badging into the drawing conclusions about a drifter
who murdered.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
His new bride. You're threatening me with a.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Rapp Ask yourself, how much credibility will you have with
the authorities.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Better get back to that railroad station as fast as
you can. For me. In Chicago, they.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Still see me as an investment, a guilt edged one.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Now now that I can be framed for murdering Jesse
and charged with the actual murder of Michael o'dolan alias Smith.
How could you know about that?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I saw Smith get on that train with you. You
can only be here alive of a Smith's dead body.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Get going while you can. What about the corpse on
the sofa? Believe the disposal of your bride to me.
I have had experience and similar matters. I got going
as far as.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
This booth here in the Rialito record shop. It's all
here on the record. And thanks for a lovely time everybody.
You have a great little town here.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
All right? We did your recording. Yeah, won't you do
me a little favor?
Speaker 1 (20:55):

Prop it up and mail to the chief of police
with my compliments. Wouldn't it be better, sir if we
delivered it personally?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
We I should hate to be compelled to shoot a
customer A gud.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
This is where I came in.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
You listened all the time I was making that record. Well,
I'm in the cooler now, I'm no tools in the
cell right next door to me. I've been here a
day and a half. Mister Dolan, I deal for you
aren't catching a killer, but.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
It's good for the record business. But you're not exactly
a killer.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Maybe you can prove to the DA the shooting that
man Smith was justifiable, homicide testifiable. It's not gonna like
that wherever he is, nor is he going to like
another thing wherever he is.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
What other thing is he not gonna like?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
His inability to claim your uncle Jonas's fortune. You see,
the will was read this morning and you were left
your uncle's library in a nineteen twenty eighth Nash automobile.
The rest of the estate went. Tell me, yes, it
went to your cousin, the late mister Smith, And now
with his death, his share reverts to charity.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Charity.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
The late mister Smith, wherever he is, is gonna tie
all over again of enlargement of the high It looks
like Smith with his own worst enemy, he kept buzzing
(22:38):
the wrong cousin. They tell me that when Happy Doldan
turned loose in that nineteen twenty eight Nash automobile, uncle
Jonas left him. There's one certain town he's gonna cross
right off his roadmap.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
They're going to rugged there.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Too much happens in record time. Well, friends, it's time

Speaker 2 (14:55):
That's how I wi.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
You were wresting my guns, rocking out of hill, and
mother was saying anywhere he would take a turner on
the bed And suddenly we were mid air over the
railing and the shot boy.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I came to the tracks six feet from an unconscious
little guy who called himself Smith. I couldn't feel my
back or legs. I was bleeding badly. Smith looked twice
as bad as I thought. I watched his hands feel
(15:42):
around blinders of the gun, laying her foot away.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
He was half dead, but still concentrating on bus. I
started crawling. I got to the gun first.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I'm a chursh house, spite gun and knock me up
if you don't answer some questions fast, But question why
has even trying to kill me?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
What's behind us? And I said a lot of question.
I got two more. Whose simone tool? And why did
a blonde name Jesse marry me? And I take a powder?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
They'll say, yeah, I've got the answer.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I know all three of you got the answers. You
clam up and you're a dead man Smith. Then I'm like,
dead man, you're not gonna talk. I stood over a
lot of guys in my time. I just standing up
on me now.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Not one of 'em opened up. Every go ahead and
shoot it. I've got the killer, Smith, say that you
or me?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You got the gun? Yeah, I've got the gun. I
killed the killer.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I kept telling myself self defense that I had exterminated
a rat, that somebody should put a badge.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
On me for doing it.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
In an hour, before I could bring myself to drag
Smith into the woods, I left him under a clump
of blueberry bushes and headed back.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
To town to find the hot throb i'd married.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I found her in the last place I expected her
to be, right in my room at the Standbrook curled
up on a sofa like someone cadnapping.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Jesse, Jessie, I'm gonna save my breath.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I'd be a widower longer than i'd been a bridegroom.
Jesse was stone dead.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Haven't you been traveling in the wrong direction? Happy? I'll
tell her? How did you get in here?
Speaker 1 (17:56):

my marriage to quit Alibi? You killed in all I
might have she'd remain stubborn. Yeah, someone reached the face Smith?
Uh huh?

recovered you from the river after he thrown you in
the were poppings until the young lady foolishly decided to.

drives your car.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I left your quarter of a million dollar estate. My
uncle Jonas. I hardly remember him. You will when they
read the world tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
He'd been advertising everywhere publishing your picture for months before
his death.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I think I never saw an ed.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
You don't read the papers, You just sleep under them
on park benches.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
What was Smith's angle?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Smith is Michael Doloner, this relative of yours and an
aspiring air wanted desperately to succeed you.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That is, over your dead body. The girl's angle was obvious. Yeah,
marry me.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Let Smith knock me off and be my legal widow. Yes,
and my angle explains itself. You cut in for hair,
and I was weighing machine cards with just a way
of getting me to play soccer.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah. The hotel management ringing happy.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
They're curious about city overnight guests to check in without baggage.
I'll be badging into the drawing conclusions about a drifter
who murdered.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
His new bride. You're threatening me with a.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Rapp Ask yourself, how much credibility will you have with
the authorities.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Better get back to that railroad station as fast as
you can. For me. In Chicago, they.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Still see me as an investment, a guilt edged one.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Now now that I can be framed for murdering Jesse
and charged with the actual murder of Michael o'dolan alias Smith.
How could you know about that?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I saw Smith get on that train with you. You
can only be here alive of a Smith's dead body.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Get going while you can. What about the corpse on
the sofa? Believe the disposal of your bride to me.
I have had experience and similar matters. I got going
as far as.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
This booth here in the Rialito record shop. It's all
here on the record. And thanks for a lovely time everybody.
You have a great little town here.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
All right? We did your recording. Yeah, won't you do
me a little favor?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Prop it up and mail to the chief of police
with my compliments. Wouldn't it be better, sir if we
delivered it personally?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
We I should hate to be compelled to shoot a
customer A gud.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
This is where I came in.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
You listened all the time I was making that record. Well,
I'm in the cooler now, I'm no tools in the
cell right next door to me. I've been here a
day and a half. Mister Dolan, I deal for you
aren't catching a killer, but.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
It's good for the record business. But you're not exactly
a killer.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Maybe you can prove to the DA the shooting that
man Smith was justifiable, homicide testifiable. It's not gonna like
that wherever he is, nor is he going to like
another thing wherever he is.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
What other thing is he not gonna like?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
His inability to claim your uncle Jonas's fortune. You see,
the will was read this morning and you were left
your uncle's library in a nineteen twenty eighth Nash automobile.
The rest of the estate went. Tell me, yes, it
went to your cousin, the late mister Smith, And now
with his death, his share reverts to charity.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Charity.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
The late mister Smith, wherever he is, is gonna tie
all over again of enlargement of the high It looks
like Smith with his own worst enemy, he kept buzzing
(22:38):
the wrong cousin. They tell me that when Happy Doldan
turned loose in that nineteen twenty eight Nash automobile, uncle
Jonas left him. There's one certain town he's gonna cross
right off his roadmap.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
They're going to rugged there.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Too much happens in record time. Well, friends, it's time
once again the close that creaking door until next week
