The Craft Foods Company brings you The Adventures of the Falcon,
starring Lestamon.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hello. Yes this is the Falcon speaking, Oh Jimmy, and
I'm glad you called it. We'll have to try another time.
Angel haunts and Adam involved with the case in which
a gun has won bullet too many in it and
the man has the same trouble.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is that hurly he friends in fighting.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You on behalf of the Draft Foods Company to listen

in his thrilling motion picture series. Now join him on
the air when the Falcons halves the case of the
Superfluous Murders. Sunday afternoon, and time for another thrilling Adventure.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Of the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
But first a word about another kind of adventure, an
adventure in flavor. For right now at your grocers, there's
a wonderful new salad oil for use in your home
made salad dressings, you're cooking, you're baking. It's Craft salad Oil,
the first salad oil ever offered for your home use
by the makers of all those wonderful craft prepared dressings. Now,
(01:25):
Craft salad oil is more than just a new oil.
It's a new kind of oil, a lighter bodied oil
to mix quickly and perfectly with all other ingredients. That's
because it's not just refined, it's superfined by a special
process created by Craft. Yes, superfined to put new magic
into the salad dressings you make yourself into those wonderful
(01:48):
chiffon cakes you pride yourself on, into every home recipe
that calls for liquid shortening. Don't wait to get acquainted
with Kraft salad oil. Look for the bottle with the
beautiful label tomorrow at your groceries. Get Craft salad oil.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Now. The case of the Superfluous Murder. It's Sunday night
in New York when pudgy Wesley Endicott opens the door
to his apartment and reaches for the light switch, but
stops when he hears a noise in the dark and
living room or a second Ndicott pauses, then clicks the
switch to see Dennis Fulton jumping back from the sofa
(02:31):
on which Endicott's startled white Gail is sitting.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Wesley, I didn't expect you so early.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yes, that's pretty obvious.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I know how it looks Ndicont, but don't get the
wrong idea.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
No, Dennis, what idea do you expect me to get?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
We were just talking in the dark. What can I say?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You don't have to say anything. I should have known
the way Gail's been acting lately. Gail, how could you
do this to me?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
You really want to know?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, and look in the mirror.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Take a good look.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You're not going to get away with this, either of you.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
What are you gonna do about it?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I'm going to kill that cheap double cross a week ago.
Get out of my way now, Dennis, here's yours.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh, if you're going to fight for the honor of
your home, Handicott, you better start taking boxing lessons.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I want to see Endicott? Who shall I say? His calling?
You don't say anybody's calling. I announce myself. But I
said I can out of the way in the moment. Now,
mister Rndercott won't like Hello, Ndicott. Stop and mister Randa
cut me. You wouldn't tell me what he wanted.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
It's all right, Shepherd, It's all right. I know him.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Oh well, you said you didn't want to be disturbed,
and I didn't know he wouldn't give his name, right, Shepherd?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Get back to you, yes sir, and shut the door,
Yes sir, And.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Now, mister Mayo, what's the idea of upsetting Shepherd like that?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
You couldn't let him announce you?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You mean I could have let him tell me you
weren't in. I didn't feel like a run around.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
You don't understand. I see somebody close one of your
eyes for you. Would you like me to make it unanimous?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
As a matter of fact, I don't much care. I
learned last night at my wife there's another man.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Nothing much matters anymore. Your personal life is one thing.
This is business and it matters, especially this check of yours.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
What what about it? You tell me, Endicott, Well, he
is something wrong with it? Wrong with it?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Of course not. It's perfect, absolutely finest quality, genuine, a
number one rubber. Oh no, that's impossible. Are you with
the First National Bank?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Well there must be some mistake, a mistake.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Is you thinking I'm going to sit still for this?
It's a stall, Endicott. You didn't have cash to cover
and you knew it. You figure to put me off
till you can swing a deal.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
No, no, mister Mail, you're wrong, believe.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Me, believe you, that's rich. Oh no, you're scaring up
the cash, and you're scaring it up past. You've gotten
kill the morrow noons. But if you don't to morrow noon,
if you don't come across with payment by then, I
turned this check over to the d A for collection.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I'll do what I can. But it's all a mistake.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well you better correct it before it turns out to
be a fatal one. I'll be seeing you, I.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Know, tomorrow noon.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Hello.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Hello, Michael Wearing. Aren't you the detective known as the Falcon?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yes, the Falcon speaking.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Well, this is Wesley Endicott.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I'm sorry to call you at home, mister Wearing, but
I couldn't find your office listed.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Maybe that's because I don't have one.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Oh you work out of your home? Well, isn't that
rather inconvenient?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Is it causing you any trouble?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Well?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
No, well then, well I I didn't call to talk about.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
You, mister Wearing.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All right, change the subject.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Can you come over here right away?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Where is here my apartment?
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Sheldon Hall?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
What's it about?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
I'll tell you when I see you.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Well, there'll be a charge for the visit.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
It doesn't matter. How soon can you get here?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yes, missus undercont Yes, I'm Michael Wearing.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Is that supposed to mean something to me?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
If you listen to the radio, I.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Must hear the wrong programs. What do you want?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well, didn't your husband tell.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
You he and I aren't speaking?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Oh? Well he and I are. That's what he asked
me over for.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Where is He's in the study, last door, on the
right end of the hall.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Thank you, as you might sell him.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
For me to quit sulking. I'm leaving as soon as
I finished packing.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'll give him a message.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Just walk in. He won't answer yourthing.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It's me, Thanks, Hello and the cotta Hey, missus Encott,
you don't need to leave him. Looks like he's left
you permanently.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
What are you talking about it?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
He's not sulking, he's dead dead And if this is
his handwriting, it looks like he did it himself. Wearing. Oh,
Sergeant Corbett, this is indeed a coincidence. Sit down't join
(07:50):
me in the knockwords coincidence. I've been looking for you Wearing,
as if you didn't know, as if I didn't you
reported the Endicott body? M So I did? Why didn't
you hang her until I got there? A Corbett, I
didn't know you cared. I've got questions, but it's all
in the note. He says he was betrayed, so he
killed himself. But who betrayed him? No, I wouldn't know.
The note says he hired you to get proof for him.
(08:12):
It also says he changed his mind after calling me.
He had all the proof he needed for his own satisfaction.
That's why he decided to kill him. I still want
to know who betrayed him. Now, don't tell me you're
the inquisitive type COVID. It's my job, no homicide.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Your job?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
This is suicide? Is that unless that note wasn't an
Endocott's handwriting. I showed it the three experts, and what
do they say? Paul agreed? It's definitely in the Cots
pen pushing, well, what more do you want? He's found
with a gun in his hand that's right wearing, and
the suicide note in his own handwriting, that's right wearing.
So Corbett, how come you still asking questions? Because I
(08:46):
don't happen to have the answer to this one who
killed him. I said, he wrote the note. I said
he had a gun in his hand, but wearing the
gun in his hand was never fired. Miracle We has
(09:08):
a flavor so pleasing, miracle Well, tastes so lively, so teasing.
Miracle Well only one of its kind.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Miracle Well best salad dressing you'll find.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Miracle Whip is the only one of its kind because
it's different, a different type of salad dressing made from
a secret craft recipe. Miracle Whip combines the best qualities
of boiled dressing and old fashioned mayonnaise, so it's truly
distinctive and delicious, where the flavor.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Millions of folks called just exactly right.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Try it, won't you.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
One taste will tell you why it's America's favorite salad dressing,
the one and only Miracle Whip.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. It's a
few minutes since Mike Waring learned that d not suicide.
Was not his suicide or was it? That's what the
Falcon and Sergeant Corbett are wondering as they drive in
the police car back to indicates. So his wife was
planning to leave him wearing so she said Why didn't
(10:13):
you tell me about it before I mentioned the gun? Well,
I didn't think it meted before, Corbett. Sometimes you don't
think too much for your own good. So I'll begin thinking.
Er tell me, does missus e or her husband didn't
kill himself? Not unless she did it. I left her
thinking he was suicide.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Good boy?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
That puts us a step up on her. Yeah, and
we may need it. The note says he was betrayed
her leaving him could be the betrayal m except if
he didn't kill himself. Does the note mean what it says?
What else would it mean? I don't know, but it
says he was gonna kill himself, and if he didn't,
then he should be ashamed of himself.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
After all, it's a sin to tell a lie.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Oh, Sergeant Corbett and mister Wearing, what is it now?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Er a few more questions? I want to ask you.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I thought that was or finished.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I've just been talking to Wearing. He opened a new canopy?
Did we come in?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I all right, I guess so?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Thanks?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Now, what is it?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
It's just that Wearing tells me you are gonna leave
your husband.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Oh no, that's not so.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh wait a minute, you told well, I.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Was just talking. We we had had a little spat.
It didn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You said you were packing.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I often threatened to leave. I didn't mean it. Wesley
knew it. This, this had happened often before, had nothing
to do with with his death.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You don't think constant fights with you.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
We always made up. Believe me, it didn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
What was the little spat about money?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I wanted a new coat? Wesley said he couldn't afford it.
He said business had been bad. I didn't see how
it could have been that bad, or we'd have said
something about it before.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh, he said his business was bad. Missus Endicott. When
I was here before, I asked you if you knew
any reason why your husband would want to kill himself.
You said you couldn't think of any I couldn't. Don't
you call bad business a possible reason?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
But I just told you I didn't believe he was
telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Oh, Corbett, there's one way to find out if he was.
Let's look into Endicott's business, shall we. Maybe we'll find
it's dead too. Heard this, Corvitt said, No fun h hm,
nobody in here? This is Endicott said, Diccot's assistant would
(12:37):
be here. Maybe he's in the back office the maybe
hello hello, m hm what's that? So it was like
somebody moaning, come on there, he is on the floor.
What happened to you?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Hm?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Oh uh it was mister Mayo Leo. Yeah, he came
back and he started going through the files and trying
to stop. But oh, he knocked me out, looted the office.
I'll say, look at the inner office. Wearing looks like
a world when in the PaperWorks. Yeah, oh are.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
You mister Wearing.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yes, you know what Endicott wanted to see me about. Well,
didn't he tell you? He didn't get around to it. Well,
I suppose it has something to do with mister Mayo.
Who's Mayo, Reginald Mayo. He's in building surprise. He was
here earlier today, had a fight with mister Endicott, and
then mister Endicott went home, and then a little later
mister Mayo came back. What was the trouble between Endicott
(13:32):
and Mayo? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
When I'd asked mister Endicott.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I'm afraid that wouldn't do much good, so I have
to try Mayo instead. Mayo I'm sorry, gentlemen, mister Mayo
isn't in he left word. He can be reached tomorrow
morning at the Hillard Hotel in Boston, Boston. What's he
doing in Boston? I'm sure I don't know when did
(13:59):
he leave? About twenty minutes ago? I understand he's taking
the six o'clock from La Guardia Airport. You may still yeah, way, hooray,
thanks Wearing. Come on, all this doesn't Wearing may I
was trying to get away, clinches it? It does? Sure?
(14:20):
How about the Boston address? Why would he leave that?
If this is a runout well and the plane he's taking,
would he point arrows for us? Woh? Maybe it's a
pluff Maybe that's not his plane. Don't know what are
we hurrying for? Because we can't take chances. Stop smirking, alright, Wearing,
you don't like the way I do things? You got
(14:42):
any bright ideas? No, Corbett, I haven't, he admits it yet,
not a single idea, not even any wrong one, Sargeant.
I've got important business along the plane. May I talk
fast and makes sense. Maybe I'll let you go. Maybe
(15:03):
ill is important business anyway, Conference tomorrow morning, ten o'clock
that's with you? And Endicott, why I'll ask the question, Well,
at least you want to mess the plane? All right?
All right? I did business with Endicott, got him some
materials that are hard to get hold of, had plenty
of bits for it, but took his Then his check bounces.
Do you wonder what I'm sing?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
The check bound? That's right, So you push him around.
I didn't push him around. I just warned him he
better make good on that check by tomorrow noon or
there'd be trouble. Except tomorrow noon, you plan to be
in bossed.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
This morning. This Boston business came up sudden, Yeah, didn't it?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Though?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
The murder wouldn't have anything to do with it. I
suppose murder? What murder? Ndicotts what? Hmmm? He actually looked surprised,
wearing maybe he is. I don't know anything about the murder.
How'd you go back? I'm not answering anything more without
a lawyer. We went back to Andicott's why I didn't
answering anything without a lawyer? What were you looking for?
They're not gonna do so good that Boston conference from
(16:01):
asal in New York. You can't hold me just because
I had an argument you for beating up Endicott's systm.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Well you're crazy, he says, you did.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Look, Sergeant, I've got to get to Boston. I don't
know anything about the murder. If you want answers, ask
missus Endicott. She can tell you more than I can.
What gives you that idea?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
She was seeing another man?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah? Who says a Endicott. All right, we'll check on that.
But now Mail, you have nothing more to say, and
you can set in the cell untill you thank you something.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Look, I gave you a lead.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
I get moving, Dennis, Dennis, who can that be?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I shouldn't have had you come up here, but I
was so upset.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well put yourself together.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
But if anyone sees you, just.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Don't lose your head. I can handle this.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Oh dear, not not? What are we going to do?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Answer the door? Leave the rest of me. She's making
so much of it. Couldn't I have come to see? Was?
Speaker 6 (17:01):
I guess? So?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
All right?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Then I didn't come up here because of you. I'm
a friend of Wesley's. Just remember that cow to the door, Yes, dear,
and don't call me dear.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Oh do you two again?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
How often are you coming back?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I'm telling you tell us all you know I did.
That's not the way we heard it. And Wearing Cord Well,
she has company, so I say.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Sergeant Corbett, mister Wearing, this is Dennis Fulton. He's a
friend of my husband's.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I say, hello, Fulton, how do you do Sergeant? I
dropped into see Ndicott.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Gail.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh, missus Endicott just told me the awful news. I
can't imagine why you did it. M you think it
could have been because his wife was saying another man,
why you have it on good authority? And you admitted
threatening to leave him.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I explained all that.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You say you dropped into see Endicott. Fulton, that's right,
mister Warring, and Missus Endercott had nothing to do with
your visits. What do you mean? Are you trying to
suggest that she and I?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Now that's ridiculous. I hardly know Dennis.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
You call him Dennis.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
That doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
How about your lipstick on his face? What does that
mean anything? Well, it looks like you jumped the gun
by locking up mail call. But his lead is paying all. Yeah,
well you're too. You gonna come clean I don't know
what this is all about. Even if there is something
between the sergeant, I don't see that it's any of
your business. I didn't know you keep crying like this
when a man kills himself. Wait out when we're sure
(18:28):
he did kill himself.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
What do you mean, is there any dogs?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Yeah, plenty. We don't think your husband killed himself. We
think he was murdered. Oh no, oh, yes, Dennis, Which
makes your concealing your friendship with Missus Endercott very interesting
to say the least.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Look you don't understand.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I'm willing to.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
It's just that, well, the scandal. We didn't want people
saying we'd driven him to suicide.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Well you don't have to worry about that. But they
may say you killed him.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
But the note he said he was going to shoot himself.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yes, only somebody beat him to it. Well it was
you were here in the apartment.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Well I haven't got in a few minutes before you arrived.
He must have been killed while.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I was out.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You mean you hadn't seen her from the time you
arrived until I found him.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Still, you told me he was in the study. How
did you know it if you hadn't seen him. The
door was closed.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
No, I mean I hadn't seen him to speak to.
I opened the door and called him, but he didn't answer.
I didn't know he was dead. I thought he was
just sulking. Don't you believe me?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I think you'd better come with me to headquarters.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Both have Oh no, please, Dennis, call a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Do something, sergeant. This this is a terrible shock to me.
I didn't know, honestly, if Gail killed him, it was
without my knowledge.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Dennis, what are you saying?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
She told me it was suicide. That's the first i'd
heard of it. Sneak something, alrighty and cut it out.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I said, cut it out, Let me go, Let me get.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Out of here.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Calm down, I'll stop.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
You here, all right, all right, but he's not crawling
out of this. We old Wesley together, Oh, yes, together.
And it was Dennis's idea. He made me help. He
called Wesley at the office and asked him to come
home early. He waited in the study.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It's out of my mind.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
You want a.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Confession, sergeant, I'll give you one.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Going for the window.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
This is Ed Hurley.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
He again, friends, I do want to tell you something.
I'm sure you mothers especially will want to know. It's
how to get the finest cheese food you can buy
for your family.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It's simple, really, Just be sure.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
You buy Velveta Crafts delicious pasteurized processed cheese food. Velveta
tastes good and it's so good for you too. For
Velveta is rich in important food values from milk, and
it's as digestible as milk itself, so it's perfect anytime
for snacks, sandwiches and grand hot dishes.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Try it, won't you?
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Mother?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Make Velveda your handy helper. Just be sure you get
genuine Velveta, the pasteurized processed cheese food off top quality
made by Kraft.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. A few
hours have passed since Dennis Fulton beat a hasty retreat
from Gayle Endicott's accusations. Gayle assigned her confession and is
being held. Mayo has been released. There's an alarm out
for Fulton. There's nothing much more for Might to do
on the case, or so he thinks. So he's returned home.
(21:41):
He's settling down with the pipe and slippers when he
goes to the door, opens it and finds himself looking
at Dennis Fulton and a gun. Get back inside, Wearing.
I am a sigh away from the door, and no
quick moves. That's better. I just keep your hands where
(22:04):
I can see them and we'll get along.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Fine.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I don't know that I want to get along. You're
not exactly my type. I didn't come for chit chat, Wearing.
I have a proposition. Yeah, I didn't kill Endicott. I
didn't know anything about it. Gale's lying, so you said,
I want you to prove it, all right, give yourself
up and I'll work on it. I'm not giving myself
up until it's proved. That's why the gun. I want
to hire you to prove that Gail did it alone.
(22:27):
Why should I work for you? And I say money talks. Hey,
he's a mouthful five hundred. I'll double it if you
clear me well, Wearing. I don't like you, Dennis, but
I can't say the same for your money. So let's
sear your story. You heard it all, there's nothing else.
I didn't know anything about the murder until the sergeant
told me. You didn't call Endicott and ask them the
(22:48):
home early. No, that's just another of Gail's lies. All
I have to start with that one. It can probably
be checked how Ndicott's assistant, Shepherd, probably takes all calls
and announces them to Endicott. I'll check with Shepherd and
see if he got a call from you. Yes, that's
a good idea. Well, I can't get him now. The
officer will be closed, but I look him up in
the morning, all right, Wearing. In the meantime, if you
(23:08):
want to stay here, oh no, no, thanks, Wearing. I
don't trust you and you don't trust me, so i'd
have to keep my finger on the trigger under the circumstances.
I don't think it would be comfortable for either of us.
And see what you mean. So I'll call you tomorrow.
So long, Wearing. Oh, mister Wearing, Hello, Shepherd, what are
(23:37):
you doing here? Maybe saving your life?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
What?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Let me and I'll explain.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
All right, Come in. I don't understand a Shepherd.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Since I saw you this afternoon, you've probably seen in
the paper that Endicott was murdered today.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yes, it's awful.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Or you may be able to clear one of the
suspects or clinch the case against him. I yes, I
told him. You probably have the information. If he's innocent,
he won't do anything. If he's guilty, he may come
gunning for you. Good Heaven said, I get easy. He
won't be coming yet. I told him I check with
you in the morning, so he doesn't think he needs
to hurry, and I came right over us. But if
he does before I get in his steo, let's see
(24:14):
if you really have anything to worry about. Now, tell me.
Didn't all calls to Endicott go through your desk? Yes,
so you'd know about any call he received.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Well did he receive a call to day a short
time before he went home from a man? Oh, he
didn't receive a call from anybody. You're sure positive? After
a spike with mister Mayo, he called you and then
he said he was leaving the office. I see. Oh,
then Fulton is telling the truth. Fulton, Dennis Fulton. So
you don't have anything to worry about from a matter off.
(24:46):
I'm glad to hear that. But you may have to
worry about Sergeant called that?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
What why?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Hell? He probably want to lock you up when I
tell him you killed Endicott. What are you talking about? About? You? Sheppin,
Because you're the murderer. Oh, we wrapped up another one,
corpet have Wayne Shepherd admitted the shooting, didn't he oh what?
(25:16):
Anddicott wrote a suicide note, but he didn't kill himself.
Missus Endicott said she killed him, but she didn't kill him.
Shepherd said Mayo attacked him. Now he says Mayo didn't
attack him. He's lying to throw suspicion on Mayo. What's
one more confession word? Well, I think Shepherd's will stand up.
Missus Endercott only confess because Fulton started crawling and left
her holding the bag, so she wanted to get him,
(25:37):
no matter what had cost her a woman scorned dam
And as for Ndicott, he really intended to kill himself,
but Shepherd said him the trouble if we can believe Shepherd, no,
it all ties up. He'd drawn out the company's money
for his private use. So when Endicott checked bounced, Shepherd
nw Andndicott would get him from beezzleman m So Shepherd
follows him home and shoots him, not knowing he's just
(25:59):
about shoot himself. That's it, Corbett. You overheard Endicott phoning
me to get information. So as soon as Endicott hung up,
Shepherd stepped into the room and shot him as Endicott
turned and then beat it without noticing the gun in
Endicott's hand. If we can believe Shepherd, still not convince
Corbett in this case? Now, all right, how about the
clothe that tipped me to Shepherd? What cloth wearing Shepherd
(26:21):
overheard Endicott's phone call to me? Now, he said Endicott
made it from the office. But when Endicott talked to me,
he said, can you come over here? And gave me
his home address. That meant he was calling from home,
not from the office. Ah, well, does that convince you, Corbett?
If we can believe you? Oh? Please? How cynical can
you get? You know, I cannot tell a lie? Yeah,
(26:44):
wearing I know it? With who's gonna believe me?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Friends of America's defense program is placed on the Red
Cross one of the greatest responsibilities.
Speaker 2 (27:01):

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Now. The case of the Superfluous Murder. It's Sunday night
in New York when pudgy Wesley Endicott opens the door
to his apartment and reaches for the light switch, but
stops when he hears a noise in the dark and
living room or a second Ndicott pauses, then clicks the
switch to see Dennis Fulton jumping back from the sofa
(02:31):
on which Endicott's startled white Gail is sitting.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Wesley, I didn't expect you so early.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yes, that's pretty obvious.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I know how it looks Ndicont, but don't get the
wrong idea.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
No, Dennis, what idea do you expect me to get?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
We were just talking in the dark. What can I say?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You don't have to say anything. I should have known
the way Gail's been acting lately. Gail, how could you
do this to me?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
You really want to know?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, and look in the mirror.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Take a good look.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You're not going to get away with this, either of you.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
What are you gonna do about it?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I'm going to kill that cheap double cross a week ago.
Get out of my way now, Dennis, here's yours.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh, if you're going to fight for the honor of
your home, Handicott, you better start taking boxing lessons.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yes, sir, what can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I want to see Endicott? Who shall I say? His calling?
You don't say anybody's calling. I announce myself. But I
said I can out of the way in the moment. Now,
mister Rndercott won't like Hello, Ndicott. Stop and mister Randa
cut me. You wouldn't tell me what he wanted.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
It's all right, Shepherd, It's all right. I know him.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Oh well, you said you didn't want to be disturbed,
and I didn't know he wouldn't give his name, right, Shepherd?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Get back to you, yes sir, and shut the door,
Yes sir, And.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Now, mister Mayo, what's the idea of upsetting Shepherd like that?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
You couldn't let him announce you?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You mean I could have let him tell me you
weren't in. I didn't feel like a run around.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
You don't understand. I see somebody close one of your
eyes for you. Would you like me to make it unanimous?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
As a matter of fact, I don't much care. I
learned last night at my wife there's another man.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Nothing much matters anymore. Your personal life is one thing.
This is business and it matters, especially this check of yours.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
What what about it? You tell me, Endicott, Well, he
is something wrong with it? Wrong with it?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Of course not. It's perfect, absolutely finest quality, genuine, a
number one rubber. Oh no, that's impossible. Are you with
the First National Bank?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Well there must be some mistake, a mistake.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Is you thinking I'm going to sit still for this?
It's a stall, Endicott. You didn't have cash to cover
and you knew it. You figure to put me off
till you can swing a deal.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
No, no, mister Mail, you're wrong, believe.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Me, believe you, that's rich. Oh no, you're scaring up
the cash, and you're scaring it up past. You've gotten
kill the morrow noons. But if you don't to morrow noon,
if you don't come across with payment by then, I
turned this check over to the d A for collection.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I'll do what I can. But it's all a mistake.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well you better correct it before it turns out to
be a fatal one. I'll be seeing you, I.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Know, tomorrow noon.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Hello.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Hello, Michael Wearing. Aren't you the detective known as the Falcon?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yes, the Falcon speaking.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Well, this is Wesley Endicott.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I'm sorry to call you at home, mister Wearing, but
I couldn't find your office listed.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Maybe that's because I don't have one.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Oh you work out of your home? Well, isn't that
rather inconvenient?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Is it causing you any trouble?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Well?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
No, well then, well I I didn't call to talk about.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
You, mister Wearing.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All right, change the subject.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Can you come over here right away?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Where is here my apartment?
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Sheldon Hall?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
What's it about?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
I'll tell you when I see you.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Well, there'll be a charge for the visit.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
It doesn't matter. How soon can you get here?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yes, missus undercont Yes, I'm Michael Wearing.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Is that supposed to mean something to me?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
If you listen to the radio, I.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Must hear the wrong programs. What do you want?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well, didn't your husband tell.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
You he and I aren't speaking?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Oh? Well he and I are. That's what he asked
me over for.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Where is He's in the study, last door, on the
right end of the hall.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Thank you, as you might sell him.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
For me to quit sulking. I'm leaving as soon as
I finished packing.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'll give him a message.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Just walk in. He won't answer yourthing.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It's me, Thanks, Hello and the cotta Hey, missus Encott,
you don't need to leave him. Looks like he's left
you permanently.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
What are you talking about it?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
He's not sulking, he's dead dead And if this is
his handwriting, it looks like he did it himself. Wearing. Oh,
Sergeant Corbett, this is indeed a coincidence. Sit down't join
(07:50):
me in the knockwords coincidence. I've been looking for you Wearing,
as if you didn't know, as if I didn't you
reported the Endicott body? M So I did? Why didn't
you hang her until I got there? A Corbett, I
didn't know you cared. I've got questions, but it's all
in the note. He says he was betrayed, so he
killed himself. But who betrayed him? No, I wouldn't know.
The note says he hired you to get proof for him.
(08:12):
It also says he changed his mind after calling me.
He had all the proof he needed for his own satisfaction.
That's why he decided to kill him. I still want
to know who betrayed him. Now, don't tell me you're
the inquisitive type COVID. It's my job, no homicide.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Your job?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
This is suicide? Is that unless that note wasn't an
Endocott's handwriting. I showed it the three experts, and what
do they say? Paul agreed? It's definitely in the Cots
pen pushing, well, what more do you want? He's found
with a gun in his hand that's right wearing, and
the suicide note in his own handwriting, that's right wearing.
So Corbett, how come you still asking questions? Because I
(08:46):
don't happen to have the answer to this one who
killed him. I said, he wrote the note. I said
he had a gun in his hand, but wearing the
gun in his hand was never fired. Miracle We has
(09:08):
a flavor so pleasing, miracle Well, tastes so lively, so teasing.
Miracle Well only one of its kind.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Miracle Well best salad dressing you'll find.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Miracle Whip is the only one of its kind because
it's different, a different type of salad dressing made from
a secret craft recipe. Miracle Whip combines the best qualities
of boiled dressing and old fashioned mayonnaise, so it's truly
distinctive and delicious, where the flavor.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Millions of folks called just exactly right.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Try it, won't you.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
One taste will tell you why it's America's favorite salad dressing,
the one and only Miracle Whip.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. It's a
few minutes since Mike Waring learned that d not suicide.
Was not his suicide or was it? That's what the
Falcon and Sergeant Corbett are wondering as they drive in
the police car back to indicates. So his wife was
planning to leave him wearing so she said Why didn't
(10:13):
you tell me about it before I mentioned the gun? Well,
I didn't think it meted before, Corbett. Sometimes you don't
think too much for your own good. So I'll begin thinking.
Er tell me, does missus e or her husband didn't
kill himself? Not unless she did it. I left her
thinking he was suicide.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Good boy?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
That puts us a step up on her. Yeah, and
we may need it. The note says he was betrayed
her leaving him could be the betrayal m except if
he didn't kill himself. Does the note mean what it says?
What else would it mean? I don't know, but it
says he was gonna kill himself, and if he didn't,
then he should be ashamed of himself.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
After all, it's a sin to tell a lie.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Oh, Sergeant Corbett and mister Wearing, what is it now?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Er a few more questions? I want to ask you.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I thought that was or finished.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I've just been talking to Wearing. He opened a new canopy?
Did we come in?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I all right, I guess so?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Thanks?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Now, what is it?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
It's just that Wearing tells me you are gonna leave
your husband.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Oh no, that's not so.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh wait a minute, you told well, I.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Was just talking. We we had had a little spat.
It didn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You said you were packing.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I often threatened to leave. I didn't mean it. Wesley
knew it. This, this had happened often before, had nothing
to do with with his death.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You don't think constant fights with you.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
We always made up. Believe me, it didn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
What was the little spat about money?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I wanted a new coat? Wesley said he couldn't afford it.
He said business had been bad. I didn't see how
it could have been that bad, or we'd have said
something about it before.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh, he said his business was bad. Missus Endicott. When
I was here before, I asked you if you knew
any reason why your husband would want to kill himself.
You said you couldn't think of any I couldn't. Don't
you call bad business a possible reason?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
But I just told you I didn't believe he was
telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Oh, Corbett, there's one way to find out if he was.
Let's look into Endicott's business, shall we. Maybe we'll find
it's dead too. Heard this, Corvitt said, No fun h hm,
nobody in here? This is Endicott said, Diccot's assistant would
(12:37):
be here. Maybe he's in the back office the maybe
hello hello, m hm what's that? So it was like
somebody moaning, come on there, he is on the floor.
What happened to you?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Hm?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Oh uh it was mister Mayo Leo. Yeah, he came
back and he started going through the files and trying
to stop. But oh, he knocked me out, looted the office.
I'll say, look at the inner office. Wearing looks like
a world when in the PaperWorks. Yeah, oh are.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
You mister Wearing.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yes, you know what Endicott wanted to see me about. Well,
didn't he tell you? He didn't get around to it. Well,
I suppose it has something to do with mister Mayo.
Who's Mayo, Reginald Mayo. He's in building surprise. He was
here earlier today, had a fight with mister Endicott, and
then mister Endicott went home, and then a little later
mister Mayo came back. What was the trouble between Endicott
(13:32):
and Mayo? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
When I'd asked mister Endicott.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I'm afraid that wouldn't do much good, so I have
to try Mayo instead. Mayo I'm sorry, gentlemen, mister Mayo
isn't in he left word. He can be reached tomorrow
morning at the Hillard Hotel in Boston, Boston. What's he
doing in Boston? I'm sure I don't know when did
(13:59):
he leave? About twenty minutes ago? I understand he's taking
the six o'clock from La Guardia Airport. You may still yeah, way, hooray,
thanks Wearing. Come on, all this doesn't Wearing may I
was trying to get away, clinches it? It does? Sure?
(14:20):
How about the Boston address? Why would he leave that?
If this is a runout well and the plane he's taking,
would he point arrows for us? Woh? Maybe it's a
pluff Maybe that's not his plane. Don't know what are
we hurrying for? Because we can't take chances. Stop smirking, alright, Wearing,
you don't like the way I do things? You got
(14:42):
any bright ideas? No, Corbett, I haven't, he admits it yet,
not a single idea, not even any wrong one, Sargeant.
I've got important business along the plane. May I talk
fast and makes sense. Maybe I'll let you go. Maybe
(15:03):
ill is important business anyway, Conference tomorrow morning, ten o'clock
that's with you? And Endicott, why I'll ask the question, Well,
at least you want to mess the plane? All right?
All right? I did business with Endicott, got him some
materials that are hard to get hold of, had plenty
of bits for it, but took his Then his check bounces.
Do you wonder what I'm sing?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
The check bound? That's right, So you push him around.
I didn't push him around. I just warned him he
better make good on that check by tomorrow noon or
there'd be trouble. Except tomorrow noon, you plan to be
in bossed.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
This morning. This Boston business came up sudden, Yeah, didn't it?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Though?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
The murder wouldn't have anything to do with it. I
suppose murder? What murder? Ndicotts what? Hmmm? He actually looked surprised,
wearing maybe he is. I don't know anything about the murder.
How'd you go back? I'm not answering anything more without
a lawyer. We went back to Andicott's why I didn't
answering anything without a lawyer? What were you looking for?
They're not gonna do so good that Boston conference from
(16:01):
asal in New York. You can't hold me just because
I had an argument you for beating up Endicott's systm.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Well you're crazy, he says, you did.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Look, Sergeant, I've got to get to Boston. I don't
know anything about the murder. If you want answers, ask
missus Endicott. She can tell you more than I can.
What gives you that idea?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
She was seeing another man?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah? Who says a Endicott. All right, we'll check on that.
But now Mail, you have nothing more to say, and
you can set in the cell untill you thank you something.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Look, I gave you a lead.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
I get moving, Dennis, Dennis, who can that be?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I shouldn't have had you come up here, but I
was so upset.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well put yourself together.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
But if anyone sees you, just.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Don't lose your head. I can handle this.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Oh dear, not not? What are we going to do?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Answer the door? Leave the rest of me. She's making
so much of it. Couldn't I have come to see? Was?
Speaker 6 (17:01):
I guess? So?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
All right?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Then I didn't come up here because of you. I'm
a friend of Wesley's. Just remember that cow to the door, Yes, dear,
and don't call me dear.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Oh do you two again?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
How often are you coming back?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I'm telling you tell us all you know I did.
That's not the way we heard it. And Wearing Cord Well,
she has company, so I say.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Sergeant Corbett, mister Wearing, this is Dennis Fulton. He's a
friend of my husband's.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I say, hello, Fulton, how do you do Sergeant? I
dropped into see Ndicott.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Gail.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh, missus Endicott just told me the awful news. I
can't imagine why you did it. M you think it
could have been because his wife was saying another man,
why you have it on good authority? And you admitted
threatening to leave him.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I explained all that.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You say you dropped into see Endicott. Fulton, that's right,
mister Warring, and Missus Endercott had nothing to do with
your visits. What do you mean? Are you trying to
suggest that she and I?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Now that's ridiculous. I hardly know Dennis.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
You call him Dennis.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
That doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
How about your lipstick on his face? What does that
mean anything? Well, it looks like you jumped the gun
by locking up mail call. But his lead is paying all. Yeah,
well you're too. You gonna come clean I don't know
what this is all about. Even if there is something
between the sergeant, I don't see that it's any of
your business. I didn't know you keep crying like this
when a man kills himself. Wait out when we're sure
(18:28):
he did kill himself.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
What do you mean, is there any dogs?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Yeah, plenty. We don't think your husband killed himself. We
think he was murdered. Oh no, oh, yes, Dennis, Which
makes your concealing your friendship with Missus Endercott very interesting
to say the least.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Look you don't understand.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I'm willing to.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
It's just that, well, the scandal. We didn't want people
saying we'd driven him to suicide.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Well you don't have to worry about that. But they
may say you killed him.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
But the note he said he was going to shoot himself.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yes, only somebody beat him to it. Well it was
you were here in the apartment.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Well I haven't got in a few minutes before you arrived.
He must have been killed while.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
I was out.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You mean you hadn't seen her from the time you
arrived until I found him.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Still, you told me he was in the study. How
did you know it if you hadn't seen him. The
door was closed.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
No, I mean I hadn't seen him to speak to.
I opened the door and called him, but he didn't answer.
I didn't know he was dead. I thought he was
just sulking. Don't you believe me?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I think you'd better come with me to headquarters.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Both have Oh no, please, Dennis, call a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Do something, sergeant. This this is a terrible shock to me.
I didn't know, honestly, if Gail killed him, it was
without my knowledge.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Dennis, what are you saying?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
She told me it was suicide. That's the first i'd
heard of it. Sneak something, alrighty and cut it out.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I said, cut it out, Let me go, Let me get.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Out of here.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Calm down, I'll stop.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
You here, all right, all right, but he's not crawling
out of this. We old Wesley together, Oh, yes, together.
And it was Dennis's idea. He made me help. He
called Wesley at the office and asked him to come
home early. He waited in the study.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It's out of my mind.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
You want a.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Confession, sergeant, I'll give you one.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Going for the window.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
This is Ed Hurley.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
He again, friends, I do want to tell you something.
I'm sure you mothers especially will want to know. It's
how to get the finest cheese food you can buy
for your family.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It's simple, really, Just be sure.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
You buy Velveta Crafts delicious pasteurized processed cheese food. Velveta
tastes good and it's so good for you too. For
Velveta is rich in important food values from milk, and
it's as digestible as milk itself, so it's perfect anytime
for snacks, sandwiches and grand hot dishes.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Try it, won't you?
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Mother?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Make Velveda your handy helper. Just be sure you get
genuine Velveta, the pasteurized processed cheese food off top quality
made by Kraft.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. A few
hours have passed since Dennis Fulton beat a hasty retreat
from Gayle Endicott's accusations. Gayle assigned her confession and is
being held. Mayo has been released. There's an alarm out
for Fulton. There's nothing much more for Might to do
on the case, or so he thinks. So he's returned home.
(21:41):
He's settling down with the pipe and slippers when he
goes to the door, opens it and finds himself looking
at Dennis Fulton and a gun. Get back inside, Wearing.
I am a sigh away from the door, and no
quick moves. That's better. I just keep your hands where
(22:04):
I can see them and we'll get along.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Fine.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I don't know that I want to get along. You're
not exactly my type. I didn't come for chit chat, Wearing.
I have a proposition. Yeah, I didn't kill Endicott. I
didn't know anything about it. Gale's lying, so you said,
I want you to prove it, all right, give yourself
up and I'll work on it. I'm not giving myself
up until it's proved. That's why the gun. I want
to hire you to prove that Gail did it alone.
(22:27):
Why should I work for you? And I say money talks. Hey,
he's a mouthful five hundred. I'll double it if you
clear me well, Wearing. I don't like you, Dennis, but
I can't say the same for your money. So let's
sear your story. You heard it all, there's nothing else.
I didn't know anything about the murder until the sergeant
told me. You didn't call Endicott and ask them the
(22:48):
home early. No, that's just another of Gail's lies. All
I have to start with that one. It can probably
be checked how Ndicott's assistant, Shepherd, probably takes all calls
and announces them to Endicott. I'll check with Shepherd and
see if he got a call from you. Yes, that's
a good idea. Well, I can't get him now. The
officer will be closed, but I look him up in
the morning, all right, Wearing. In the meantime, if you
(23:08):
want to stay here, oh no, no, thanks, Wearing. I
don't trust you and you don't trust me, so i'd
have to keep my finger on the trigger under the circumstances.
I don't think it would be comfortable for either of us.
And see what you mean. So I'll call you tomorrow.
So long, Wearing. Oh, mister Wearing, Hello, Shepherd, what are
(23:37):
you doing here? Maybe saving your life?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
What?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Let me and I'll explain.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
All right, Come in. I don't understand a Shepherd.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Since I saw you this afternoon, you've probably seen in
the paper that Endicott was murdered today.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yes, it's awful.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Or you may be able to clear one of the
suspects or clinch the case against him. I yes, I
told him. You probably have the information. If he's innocent,
he won't do anything. If he's guilty, he may come
gunning for you. Good Heaven said, I get easy. He
won't be coming yet. I told him I check with
you in the morning, so he doesn't think he needs
to hurry, and I came right over us. But if
he does before I get in his steo, let's see
(24:14):
if you really have anything to worry about. Now, tell me.
Didn't all calls to Endicott go through your desk? Yes,
so you'd know about any call he received.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Well did he receive a call to day a short
time before he went home from a man? Oh, he
didn't receive a call from anybody. You're sure positive? After
a spike with mister Mayo, he called you and then
he said he was leaving the office. I see. Oh,
then Fulton is telling the truth. Fulton, Dennis Fulton. So
you don't have anything to worry about from a matter off.
(24:46):
I'm glad to hear that. But you may have to
worry about Sergeant called that?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
What why?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Hell? He probably want to lock you up when I
tell him you killed Endicott. What are you talking about? About? You? Sheppin,
Because you're the murderer. Oh, we wrapped up another one,
corpet have Wayne Shepherd admitted the shooting, didn't he oh what?
(25:16):
Anddicott wrote a suicide note, but he didn't kill himself.
Missus Endicott said she killed him, but she didn't kill him.
Shepherd said Mayo attacked him. Now he says Mayo didn't
attack him. He's lying to throw suspicion on Mayo. What's
one more confession word? Well, I think Shepherd's will stand up.
Missus Endercott only confess because Fulton started crawling and left
her holding the bag, so she wanted to get him,
(25:37):
no matter what had cost her a woman scorned dam
And as for Ndicott, he really intended to kill himself,
but Shepherd said him the trouble if we can believe Shepherd, no,
it all ties up. He'd drawn out the company's money
for his private use. So when Endicott checked bounced, Shepherd
nw Andndicott would get him from beezzleman m So Shepherd
follows him home and shoots him, not knowing he's just
(25:59):
about shoot himself. That's it, Corbett. You overheard Endicott phoning
me to get information. So as soon as Endicott hung up,
Shepherd stepped into the room and shot him as Endicott
turned and then beat it without noticing the gun in
Endicott's hand. If we can believe Shepherd, still not convince
Corbett in this case? Now, all right, how about the
clothe that tipped me to Shepherd? What cloth wearing Shepherd
(26:21):
overheard Endicott's phone call to me? Now, he said Endicott
made it from the office. But when Endicott talked to me,
he said, can you come over here? And gave me
his home address. That meant he was calling from home,
not from the office. Ah, well, does that convince you, Corbett?
If we can believe you? Oh? Please? How cynical can
you get? You know, I cannot tell a lie? Yeah,
(26:44):
wearing I know it? With who's gonna believe me?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Friends of America's defense program is placed on the Red
Cross one of the greatest responsibilities.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
It has ever had to assume.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Now, in addition to day to day aid to the
sick and injured, the Red Cross must extend its services
to the men of our growing armed forces in camps
and hospitals at home and overseas.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Now to the Red Cross must recruit.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Train, and equip millions of home defense volunteers in first
aid and home nursing, and the Red Cross system of
blood banks must be expanded to meet greater civilian and
military needs. That's why Red Cross needs your help. By
giving as generously as you can to the Red Cross,
you are helping to mobilize for the defense of your family,
(27:38):
your community, your country.
