right in your own kitchen.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
For several weeks now, we've.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Been telling you on this program about Craft salad Oil,
the wonderful new salad oil created by Craft that's lighter
bodied because it's super fine.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Now here's a suggestion.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Tomorrow go to your grocer's and get a pint or
quart bottle of Craft salad oil. Look up your favorite
recipe for homemade salad dressing, chiffon cake, or anything else
that requires liquid shortening. Then that night, tomorrow night, at dinner,
surprise your family with an old favorite made this lighter
body super fine salad oil. Way you know the difference,

(01:42):

evening in New York and Hunter is famed. Gambling club

(02:04):
on Ease eighty fourth is closed for the night, but
that doesn't seem to deter playing clothesman Jack Craven for
his partner Frank Walsh from their decision go look in on,
mister Hunter, ask me, Craven. We're wasting our time, you
think so, Frank share Hunt is probably gone. What about
that light we saw from the outside, mister data tenant

(02:25):
alf No, not, mister Hunter. He watches his pennies. I
will get your tend He's still here counting the take.
Where was the light coming from?

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
This room here? I see, Yeah, then this must be
the office. Want me to go in with you? No,
you wait out here. If you hear any commotion, get
back to the car.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Understand right, My name Brod.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Did you get to a second. You're not brought No,
my name is Craven, mister Hunter. What are you doing here?
Ever see one of these before? It's a badge, isn't
it also known as a buzzer or a pozzy? So so,
I don't like people running gambling houses on my beat,
I assure, especially without consulting me.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
And suppose I did consult.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
You, Well, that might be different.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Now if you were to consult me, say once a week,
with five hundred bucks.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
You'd have no objections at all.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
No live and let live is my model. A five
hundred dollars a lot of money, mister Craven.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Well, I can be a lot of trouble, mister Hunter.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I suppose I had you reported to the commissioner, you'd
be wasting your time. They've been trying to get rid
of me for years, but they never could get anybody
to testify against me.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Maybe I'd be willing.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
To you kidding. You don't like publicity anymore in your
racket than I do. In mind, you better give in Hunter,
I can make an awful nuisance of myself.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
I can see that, all right, Craven, don't move. What
do you think you're going to do?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
With that gun, something the police commissioner couldn't do. I'm
going to get rid of you, Craven. I listen, Hunter,
If you don't put away that ride, I'll break you
in two.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Hey, you are Craven. I mean that you.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Give me another part of heels was God, thank you
Pete's sake. Can a man get anything in his own
home without a million arguments? I'll get it all right?
A wait, that's that first.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
If a Sergeant Carpett tell him I'm still sick and
the doctor says I can't see anybody.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Hello, missus Walsh, that's right.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Sergeant Carbet again, Oh how are you? I can't complain.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I's Frank just the same. Can I talk to him?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
I'm afraid not.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
He's asleep, Okay, tell him.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
I called William.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
I I certainly will Sargeant.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Well, I think he's suspicious. Oh, it can't prove anything.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
What's all this about, Frank?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
What's all about?

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Why are you avoiding corp? But ever since the night Craven.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
I didn't want to talk about it, but you were
with him.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
I was not.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Craven got out of a car to see somebody left
me on elections in an eighty fourth.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I never saw him after that?

Speaker 3 (05:21):
And why do they suspend you from.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
The four because they're a bunch of thick headed jerks.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Thank you not telling the truth, but you call.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Me a liar?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
All right, Hazels, you want to know what happened to Craven?
Do you will? I tell you he was murdered?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
No?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yes, Now do you feel better? Who did it? I
have no idea?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
And how do you know he was murdered?

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I'm psyched, Frank.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
You've got to tell Tarjan Corpet you're If you don't,
they'll drop you from the forest.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Who care?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
I do?

Speaker 3 (05:47):
What do we live on?

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Don't you worry about that? He's from now on at
Zeezy Street?

Speaker 3 (05:53):
And you do know who killed Craven?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's right, I've at this party. You'll appreciate me keeping
my mouth.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yet we're not thinking of black Man?

Speaker 1 (06:02):
What am I thinking of? Baby? Where's my cook?

Speaker 2 (06:05):
No?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
I won't let you go.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Get your hands off me, hands off.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Choking me?

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Yes, I hate to break in on you're like this,
mister hunter, but there's.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
A party outside wedding to sit.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
I'm busy, brac, I know, but I suggest you.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Clear little time for this boy.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
I would if I were in your position, but then
you are not my position, Brock. It's true, just the same.
You want to see him. His name is Frank Walsh.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
He's a cop.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
So so it was Jack Craven's psychic Craven dick who
disappeared so mysterious.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Oh of course, what did you see him? What have
I got to lose?

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Wash, come in here, sit, mister Walsh.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
My name is Hunter.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Min the introduction. I know all about you, not all.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
I trust all.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
When can I talk to you?

Speaker 4 (07:11):
What do you call what you're doing now?

Speaker 1 (07:12):
I mean alone?

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Would you be a good fellow about?

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Why? Not? Nice? Know what you were? Ye're like?

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Now? What was it you had on your mind?

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Mister Walsh?

Speaker 2 (07:23):
The last Saturday after you closed, you had a visitor
up here, did I?

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah? Yeah, a dick named Jack Craven.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
And you think I know something about his disappearance.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I think you know everything about it. You see, I
was outside when Craven went in to shake you down.
A few minutes afterwards, I heard a shot, so I
beat it to the cart. Twenty minutes later I saw
you coming out.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Of here alone.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
So you put two and two together and got.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Four you killed him hunted. I don't know what you
did with his.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Body, then you might as well stop there, mister Walsh.
Didn't you ever learn that to substantiate a charge of murder,
they must be what the pulp writers call corpusta. I look, hutter,
you're not brushing me off like this. We can settle
this easily enough. I'm no pig like some guys. Give
me twenty grand and you'll never hear from me again.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
I think it'd be only fair to warn you, mister Walsh, that.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
I have a distinctive version to being black man.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Well, you better kick through, because if it's the last
thing I do, I'll find Craven's body. I wish aluck,
And if you experienced too much difficulty, perhaps I can
arrange to have you join him.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Good day, sir.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
As a matter of sergeant, you look worried.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I am, Mike, still thinking about that Craven miss a
cheap rotten drafter.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Well, I asked me, you've heard the last of that cookie.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
I wouldn't be surprised if you were right.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think he's dead.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
I don't know, maybe skipped. Who knows?

Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's funny about Frank Waldh having a nervous breakdown. So
soon afterwards it is very funny.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
Turn right at the next corner.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Where do you want to go over to see Frank Walsh?
He lives a couple of blocks down. Getn't his wife
tell you he's sick?

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Oh, doctor's orders or not. I'm gonna have a talk
with that guy. They haul it, Mike, it's not the car.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
What's the matter?

Speaker 5 (09:17):
When I saw something in the gunner back up?

Speaker 2 (09:25):
I guess I was a sergeant. Yeah, turn on your spotlight,
I said, drunk, wouldn't you know it?

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Okay, let's get him.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
I can't leave him laying there all right, mister, what
do you think you're doing? Come on on your feet, Buster,
hitt me your hand with a mic right, let me go, Walsh,
he's due to the eyeballs.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
I got a good mind to leave me.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Wait a minute, sergeant, he isn't drunk. Look at your hand.
Oh yeah, he's been shot.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Shot. Listen, Walsh, who did it? It's too any good, Frank,
we'd better get a doctor. I be wasting your time, Sergeant.
He's dead.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yes, I'm looking for Michael Waring the falcon.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well have you made it?

Speaker 4 (10:26):
What?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
But I bet it was pretty difficult.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
And you couldn't do much looking through that veil? Went in? Thanks,
just make yourself.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
What the trouble?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Well, I was gonna ask you to make.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yourself comfortable, but uh, somehow I've got a feeling.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
You don't quite trust me.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
I don't trust you.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Why else would you carry a gun in your purse?

Speaker 3 (10:48):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Well, don't tell me it's a compact angel, cause nothing.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Elizabeth Arden never turned off with shape like that. That
the gun that killed Frank Walsh killed Walsh.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, your husband. You're crazy, aren't you? Hazel Walsh? No,
I don't lift you're veiled? Well, who told you who
I was?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Oh? It doesn't take an Einstein to figure that out.
The police are looking for Hazel Walsh in connection with
her husband's murder, So when a heavily veiled woman carrying
a heater walks in on a private detective twelve hours later,
the chances are she.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Didn't come to consult him for pleasure.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
And I didn't kill Frank mister Warring.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
I was with Sergeant Corbett when we found him. He
named Jewish killer.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
I didn't do it.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
You had a motive if you mean his insurance policies are.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Talking about money, and according to Corbett, Frank's favorite indoor
sport was bouncing you around.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
That's not true.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Would be easy enough to prove.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Mister Waring, or swear I didn't kill Frank and you've
got nothing to hide.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Who are you calling, Sergeant Corbett. We're going over and
have a talk with him. Put down that poone now, look,
missus Ward.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Put it down.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
If you want me to.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Work for you, well thanks, I've just changed my mind.
I look, you're acting like a six year old. I'm
gonna call the police.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Can I say? You're going to do nothing of the kind?
See what I mean? Peasant dreams, mister Warry.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
It's lighter bodied, it's superfine.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
It's craft salad oil, the first salad oil ever offered
for your home use by the makers of all those
wonderful craft salad dressing products. When the craft foods company
it puts a new product on the market, you can
be sure that it's not just another product of its kind,
but that there's something really new and different about it.

(12:49):
And that's exactly what you will discover in craft salad oil.
Not just a new salad oil but a new kind
of salad oil. Craft salad oil is a lighter bodied oil,
lighter bodied to blend smoothly.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
And perfectly with the other ingredients.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
And the reason Craft salad oil is lighter bodied is
that it's superfined. Yes, superfined by a special process created
by Kraft. Don't wait to try this wonderful new salad
oil in those distinctive homemade salad dressings you make, those
wonderful chiffon cakes you bake in every recipe you have

(13:29):
that requires liquid shortening. Remember, it's lighter body, it's superfine,
and it's at your grocer's. Now get Kraft salad oil
and either the pint or quart size tomorrow look for
the bottles with the beautiful labels. Now back to the

(13:54):
adventures of the Fulton Briars are passed since Mike was
loathed to sleep by Hazel Walsh. And now as we
find Mike, he's recuperating and Ed's lunchonette under the tender
administrations of sorts and corporate. Hey, I bought some service here,
but on a face, sergeant, A cup of java for me.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
And a couple of ass burn for my.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Friends hair, which a man am I got a hadache. Yes,
temper temper, I get my hands on that Hazel Walsh.
And you're not going to work for her, of course
I am.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I just want to teaching. You don't go around slugging
people are trying to help.

Speaker 5 (14:27):
They're making a mistake.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
And I look, Serge, and I tell you she didn't
kill her husband. Why did she bop you when you
were going to call me?

Speaker 2 (14:33):
No?

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Because she was panicked.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
He still doesn't explain why Frank named hers and killer,
but he didn't really.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
He says something about twenty grand.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Maybe he wanted to leave a message for her about
twenty grand, but why not suppose he.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Was trying to tell us something. They're crazy. I look,
Sergeant Walsh was a grafter. I don't like that kind
of todd but I don't blame you.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
But you got to face the facts. There's always a
couple of rotten apples and every barrew. How many times
are you had Frank Walsh and Jack Craven on the carpet.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
He just couldn't make it stick, that's all go on.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Well, my guess is that Walsh tried to shake down
Hunter and Hunt to let him have it. But why
would Waltz expect that kind of payoff from Hunter just
to let.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Him keep running as joints.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
He wouldn't, but he might to keep a murder quiet.
What are you talking about? Walsh must have known who
murdered Jack Craven. Well, he went there last night for
payoff and he got it. MM I don't. Assuming you're
right now, all we have to do is find the
one party in New York he tried it on. I'll
not showdn't be so hard, Corbett. There was Walter's and
Craven's beat.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
He sighed from seventy six to eighty fifty nine blocks.
All right, who's operating a new joint in that district?
What makes you think this is a new operator? Human nature.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Once a man allows himself to be shaken down, the
odds are he'll go on that way without squawking.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
So my guess would be that Craven got his when.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
He tried his graft and a new customer he You know, Mike,
sometimes I think you've got the makings of a pretty
good detective.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
No, thank you. And when did Craven disappear for days ago?

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Then we can narrow it down, even.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Find it Craven would probably give this boy a chance
to operate a week or two so he'd have some idea.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
What the charge? Now do you know that opened the
joint around the middle of March?

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Well, I heard rumors that a guy.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Named Hunter opened the club around the fourteenth. But every
time a rating party gets near the place, they fall
up their tables and run. Okay, let's see if we
can run faster.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Oh that my mind might get away from that wheel.
I'm gonna tell you about my assistants or some of
the time.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
See any sign of Hunter around?

Speaker 1 (16:37):
No, what time have you got? Quarter to eleven? Suppose
you try his office whereas I think you go through
this door? Yeah, that room down the hall. I'm gonna
flash my bench.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Let's keep this on officials for the moment. You can
close up the joint tomorrow and that I'm murder, don't
worry about.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
All.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Hello Brock Well, well the falcon, isn't it? Uh huh
a we ain interrupting anything?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Nothing that can't wait? Oh h who's your friend Mike?
Oh sorry, mister Bark, mister Corbett, I'm bad a nile.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Well, what can I do for you?

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Gentlemen?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
We'd like to see a hunter and what for? I
just want to congratulate him on the establishment he's got here.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well, i'll tell him when I see him. How could
you arrange for us to do that? I'm afraid not
hunters out of town?

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Uh? Any idea where? No?

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I think you said he might take a little run
down of Mexico. When was this about a week ago?

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Funny? I would have sworn I saw him in the
street Friday, and I what your imagining things? That must be?
Of course, if he's been going a week he uh
wouldn't know anything about Walsh and Craven. Huh.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Walsh and Craven, those two cops who ran in the
bad lot. Oh, appears to me I read something about it.
Of course, that's all you'd know about it.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, Well thanks a lot, Brock. I'll be seeing him.
There's still that I'm I call it?

Speaker 5 (17:58):
H Oh?

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Sure, sure, hello, Brock boy, you really handle that brigiantly?

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Het up.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
They're setting mic up and covered me in case anyone comes.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
You know.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
It's not polite to peak at key holes, I know,
but it can be awfully informative.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
What's he doing making a phone call. What's he calling? Well,
if you keep quiet, I'll find out. Hello, it is
that human's hunter. This is Brock. No business is all right,
but some of the customers could be better. You know
who he's just asking for? You wearing? Is that right, Mike?
Wearing the porkm and there was a cop with him. Well,

(18:35):
of course I became a thay you ask me. I
wait a minute, someone just walking. It's sorry, i'd.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Rock, it's only us told you we'd be back. Oh,
now you went and hung up on mister Hunter. That's
not nice, Rock, He's gonna be awfully hurt.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
What do you want wearing?

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I think you're almost a hunter? An apology? And what
would be nicer? And if we all went over together
while you paid it?

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (19:08):
I brought my Florida's hunter to live on four. But
you won't find him there.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's right, Mike, we forgot hunters down in Mexico. Okay,
be smart, But I tell you I wasn't speaking to him.
Cut it out, Rock, We heard you as plain as
foot beam.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
You're wrong. I was talking to a girl friend of mine.
And so who's name, by an odd coincidence, was mister Hunter?

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Okay, what are we gonna it's apartment for c oh
let's you be a.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Uh sure enough Walter Hunter? Al right, sergeant, wear your keys.
Suppose he's inside.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Another chance, m's a skip after Brock here warned him.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
But I don't think you could get too far. Another
was ten minutes he got fire. Enough, Mike, Hey, what's
the matter with him? Well, if you don't know, Brock,
take a good look at his face.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
U bullet hole ought to be a dead giveaway.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
All right, Mike, out of the way.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
What's the matter?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
I want to see where Hunter was standing when he
got it, judging by the course of the bullet.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
He Well, what do you know? It is a gun
under the chair where the one you're sitting on.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
Brack what we've been alone?

Speaker 1 (20:15):
And maybe Prince okay, isn't it a police special?

Speaker 5 (20:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:20):
And I'll take even money that it's Frank Walsh's service revolver.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
His wife was awfully careless. Mike, don't tell me you think?

Speaker 5 (20:26):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
I don't know, but at least not going around making
wild guesses. How do you know it wasn't suicide?

Speaker 5 (20:32):
Are you kidding?

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Well?

Speaker 2 (20:32):
It could be walked like a chump. We had nothing
on Hunter? Why should he blow his brains out?

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Well?

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Why should Hazel Wash do it for him?

Speaker 5 (20:38):
Maybe she figured that he knocked off her husband.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Oh, then you admit she wasn't guilty of that, I admit.
Excuse me, gentlemen, But can I get a word in?
What do you want?

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Brack?

Speaker 1 (20:47):
There's a hunk of paper under Hunter's legs. Oh, never mind, Mike,
got take care of that. What is it?

Speaker 5 (20:53):
Give me a chance for you?

Speaker 2 (20:56):
The moment may concern I killed Jack Craven and Walsh Hunt.
I should like my remains to be cremated, Walter Hunter?

Speaker 1 (21:04):
What do you say? Now?

Speaker 5 (21:06):
I saved?

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Don't sh me at the door? The lights here we
are brock.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
Okay, pal?

Speaker 1 (21:14):
What do you want though? He? Hey, let go, I said,
behaved and a lights my clan? Mmmm? Crummy looking bum?
Hey you know him? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:29):
And I wish I didn't. This is Detective Jack Craven.
Jack Craven, Yeah, my long lost buddy. Tomorrow when you shop,
don't forget about that wonderful new Craft salad oil that's
waiting for you at your grocer's right now.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
It's Craft salad oil.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
The salad oil. Let's lighter body to blend perfectly with
other ingredients. Lighter body because it's super fine. Why this
wonderful new aid to kitchen artistry in your homemade salad
dressings you're cooking, you're baking. Remember it's lighter bodied because
it's super fine. Get Craft salad oil. Look for the

(22:13):
bottle with the beautiful label. Now back to the adventures
of the Faulton. Just five minutes to pass since Jack
Craven made his dramatic inference, and strangely enough, Sergeant Corpett
doesn't seem any too pleased by his reappearance. Come on,

(22:34):
Craven starts spelling. I want to hear you make like niagrast.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
I don't know what you're talking about. Something by you
cheap watch it.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
You keep out of this mic.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
This is strictly departmental. How do you think all the
other boys on the force field, we work like dogs
to make the public trust us, and along comes a
rotten craft are like Craven and gives every honest cop
of black Eye.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
All right, but there are stranger's present. No mind me, folks,
I'm broad minded. You'll keep your mouth shut, Brocks, you
know what's good for you. I'll be as quiet as
a mouse, all right, Craven, And I asked you a question.
It answer me.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Why did you kill Hunter?

Speaker 1 (23:03):
I didn't.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Oh, why did you come back to was apartment?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
I didn't come back.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
That was the first time I was out.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
Give me that can.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
I put my two cents insideant I had. You've been
going for almost a week, Craven. Where you've been losin Angeles?

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Why'd you go there? None of your business in Craven?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
You answer wearing questions, just as if I was asking them.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Why did you go there?

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I wanted to see my relatives, and you certainly didn't
travel on the super Chief.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
From the look of it, I say you did most
of your riding in a cattle car. That's the matter.
I couldn't Hunter afford any better transportation.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Hunter had nothing to do with this. If Perel Frank
Wars doesn't support your story, Walsh, did he stwo on me?
What do you think you had a fight with Hunter?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Didn't you?

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (23:43):
He plunged me. How about why? That doesn't matter? He
dump me in a cattle car.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
When I came to I was in.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
LA Why didn't you wire us? I had no due
but had done a collect I didn't want to involve
the departments. Well, that's understandable, especially if you wanted to
come back to kill Hunter.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
And I tell you I didn't kill him. I just
got in a town tonight.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
That doesn't prove a thing.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Where were you with ten fifteen? Why?

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Because according to the.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Coroner's report, I just got that's when Hunter was killed.
And listen, start that's suicide routine again, Mike. If I
wrote that note, he would have known darn well he
hadn't killed Craven here? Where were you at ten fifteen?
Craven the ain't chased all over the freight yards by
some railroad dicks. If you don't believe me, you can
call the odds and check. And don't think dry woke
in just a minute, Sergeant, Does this mean you're riding

(24:22):
off Hazel Walsh as a suspect now?

Speaker 1 (24:24):
But then I like you to double the force looking
for it.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Let me understand you, Mike. You think Craven Here is
telling the truth? I do, and missus Walsh is our party.
Oh I didn't say that.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
I asked your brock. Ain't it enough to drive a
guy fats?

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Don't ask him? Sergeant, This thing is driving you crazy.
Who do you think is responsible? Just what is that
supposed to mean? Worry? Just what it sounded like, Brock,
you killed Walsh and Hunters.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
I don't know how I can ever repay you.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
I'll forget if Hazel. Oh, I'm only glad it ended
the way it did.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
So it was Brock who killed my husband.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, but he didn't mean to frame you. He thought
it would take care of Hunter. But when Frank gooded
your name the sergeant carpet to myself, that upset his plans.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
But why did Broc want to frame his bloss Uh?

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Hunter had a very nice thing in the club, and
Broc figured he was capable enough to handle it with
Hunter out of the way.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
I still don't see why he murdered Frank. According to
that note, Brock thought that Hunter had killed Craven.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yes, that I didn't do him any good because there
was no trace of Craven's body and the corpus delecti
is essential in any frames. That that was why it
was necessary from the supplier body that would leave directly
the Hunter.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
But Frank never even mentioned the man's name to him.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Uh, Brock had no way of knowing that. Then when
it looked like all his plans were going for naught.

Speaker 5 (25:44):
He wrote that.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Suicide note and killed Hunter, thinking that would tie up
all the loose ends.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Well, where did Broch give himself away when.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Sergeant Corbett and I were at the club before he
went into the office to see Broch? I asked Corpe
at the time, he said it was a quarter to eleven.
A few and after that, we eaves dropped on Brock
talking to Hunter on the phone.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (26:05):
I was a conversation that never could have taken place.
According to the autopsy report, Hunter was killed at ten fifteen,
a half hour.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Earlier, and that business on the phone was.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Staged by Brock to give himself an alibi.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
MM.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
He felt pretty sure that Corbet and I were listening in.
So did that answer all your question? I suppose you
answered one of mine.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Hm.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Where did you bury yourself so that the entire New
York Police Force couldn't find you?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Huh? I'd stayed with my sister le Noise.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Your sister le Nore Huh. Yes, she look like you.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Hm, she's much prettier. Uh.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
That was one thing I've learned from this case. Never
to believe any testimony based on his say evidence.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Well, I don't know what I can do to convince you.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Oh that's very easy, angel. Uh, just give me her
address and let me see for myself. Folks, let's talk
about enjoyment. That's a pleasant center, isn't it. Specifically, I'd

(27:11):
like to say a few words about candy enjoyment the
kind you find in craft dairy fresh caramels.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Craft caramels are tops and delicious, good eating. Here's the
reason why.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
The craft folks spent years developing fine caramels, making them chewy,
soft and flavorful, making them good so you'd enjoy them.
And craft caramels have plenty of nourishing milk and other
pure ingredients in them, so they're good for you too.
Next time you're at the grocery store, pick up a
big pound bag of craft caramels, and at your.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Candy cutter, get the six piece bar for a nickel.
Craft caramels come in regular caramel flavor and in chocolate flavor.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Both flavors are delightful. The important thing to remember is this,
whenever you want real candy and enjoyment, be sure you
get craft very fresh caramel. The case of the Unwelcome Wife.

(28:20):

next week's Adventure of the Falcon, when Mike Waring learns
that when a girl pretends to be married to an
already married man, the results can be murdered. So we
