To be, mister mcgreedy.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
If you don't start calling me John, okay, John little pee,
I'm going to leak a little information to you. Yes,
as you know, I've been thinking of stepping down from
the presidency of the company.

Yes, well, it has been rumored, but I wish you'd
reconsider it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well. Sincerely, the place wouldn't be the same without you.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I'll still be there, Charlie. I'm not giving up my stock.

McGredy Company. The only difference will be that you will
be sitting at my.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Desk, said he at your desk.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well, I thought hatches were slated to take over when
you stepped out.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
No, No, Tom was seriously considered.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
But he's a bit too old for the job.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
No, the company needs young blood. Well, I'm really bold
over when I've watched you grow come up on merit ability.
You're going to go far, my boy. Of course, the
board will have to vote on your appointment, but that
isn't saying goes is in the bag.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Well, there's something you've omitted. John. You haven't asked me
if I wanted the job. Is it necessary to ask?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I remember another lunch with you several years ago. We
got talking about ambitions and you said that you would
never be satisfied with second best. It had to be
the top job or you'd move on.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yes, if that was before this morning. But nothing, just mumbling.
I'd like to know how you feel about it jobs.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well, heavens to be considered for the position as an
honymous John, and your answer.

Speaker 7 (09:05):
May you love to get me yourself and both of it?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I guess I didn't realize how
fast I was going. This car has more power than
it needs, more than I need.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
At least it gave us a topic for conversation.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
HM, what did you're driving? Darling?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I'm the girl you asked to marry you. Something is
struggling you, something.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Big, Allison. Did your father tell you what he's planning?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Dad never tells me anything. I have an idea. He
thinks of me as a bird prayer.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
He wants me to take over the presidency of the company.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
That's marvelous. Couldn't have made a better choice.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
What's you're prejudice?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
But it's a nice kind of preasudice.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I uh, I don't think I'll accept it.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
What but Darling, it's right for you. You've worked with
that go. You're the right man for.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
The job, am I?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
What is this lack of confidence about fever?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
You're being rid No, I'm being practical and sensible. My
being president of the McCready company would bring nothing but trouble.
What are you saying I'm even considering resigning my present job. Why, Alison,
tell me.

Whatever it is, I'll never stop loving you.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I'll tell you when I get up enough courage. Please, Darling,
be patient with me, Just be patient. I love you too.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
So now you finally got here.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I thought you were going to forget or a point five.
You didn't really think that, Clint, Oh.

You'll do it as long as I.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Say, And if I run out of money, you'll.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Just have to scrounge around and find more.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I'm thinking of quitting my job. You wouldn't want to
do that, Charlie.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well suppose suppose it gets too much for me and
I say, go ahead?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Spell what you know?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
You wouldn't do that. You're gonna marry a very rich girl.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
A couple of extra yards.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Ain't gonna change your manner of living even a couple extra.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Grand how long. But you're gonna suck my blood. I
don't like the way you put that Charlie. I'd rather you'd.

You got the bread.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I got nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
This way, we both got something.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I got a nice living and you.
Speaker 2 (11:51):

Speaker 5 (12:08):
Sorry to bother you at this hour.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
No? The reason I'm calling yes is something bothering you?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
My boy? Well, I uh, I've had some things on
my mind lately. I'm sorry. It was so noticeable.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
It occurred to me that a young man gets a
bit absent minded is the day of his wedding approaches,
perhaps a bit fright.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
No, no, no, it isn't that JP. Oh excuse me, John,
someone's at my door. Hold on just a moment.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Forgive me for coming here.

Hello John. Uh, it was just a porter with a package.
What were you saying?
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Nothing, really, I'm just concerned. Whatever is troubling you can
be taken care of. I'm backing you.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
All the way.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Well, I appreciate your feelings, JP, but there really is
no cause for concern. I'll snap out of this in a.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Day or so good.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
It's reassuring to hear you say that.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Now, forgive me for disturbing you know I wasn't disturbed.
Thanks for calling. Good night, good night JP.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Even Dad notices that something is wrong. Yeah, I haven't
seen you in three days. You trying to tell me something.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
All I hear is all I want to tell you
is that I love you very much from a distance.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I called you at your office twice this.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Afternoon, Allison, Alison, I can't keep this from you. I
thought I could, but every day, every hour, it grows
bigger until me. How it feels as it's going to win,
engulf me and you are life everything that has meaning
for me.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
No, no, no, hear me out, and then if you
want to go out that door quietly, I won't say
anything more, and you can forget that you've ever known
me loved you.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Are you trying to say you don't want to marry me?
Did you stop loving me?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Darling? It's because I love you that I'm gonna tell you.
I considered keeping the whole matter from you, writing out
the trouble and probably overcoming it.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Darling, how little you know me? No matter what the
trouble is. I wanna be with you if.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You want me, Alison, I'm a fraud. What I'm not
Charles Powell. It's a name I assumed to hide my
real identity.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Want me to go on, yes, darling, go on.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
At the age of twenty two, I was charged and
convicted of murder and sent to San Quentin for life.
I was innocent, evidence circumstantial evidence, court appointed attorney who
didn't know what to do, what didn't care, A weak
effort to appeal which was refused, and there I was,
at twenty two, in prison for life, chance of a
(14:59):
parole on after serving twenty years.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I'd be old.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
All my young life confined in prison. So when I
had a chance to get out and ran for two years,
do you know what it means to be hunted? You
can't get a job, you have no place to live,
you can't have a sleep for fear someone will see
you and turn you in. I was ready to give
myself up when I suddenly.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Discovered that it wasn't necessary to run any longer. I
picked up a two week old newspaper and read a
report of my death.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
What yes, a man A man had been burned to
death in a flop house fire. The only thing he
had on him was something that I had kept my
only possession, a locket belonging.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
To my mother.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And I had a picture of Earth taken when she
married my father, and it had been stolen from me
as I lay asleep in a freight car. I guess
the thief thought it was gold.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
It was just cheap.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Gold plate and the man to you.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
My mother and father's names were inscribed on the back.
The man was so badly burned that the locket was
the only thing that could possibly identify him, and after
two years of hunting, the authorities.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Were glad to close the file. I'm Robert Hagen.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Robert Higgin sounds so strange. The name doesn't fit you.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
It sounds strange to me too, now, Donny, I'm innocent.
I never did it.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
It was all a mistake. I don't doubt that for
an instant dearess. I only wish you'd never told me.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
I had to tell you.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You see, someone knows who I am. He's blackmailing me.
Speaker 1 (16:54):

Speaker 4 (20:11):
Charlie, Seriously, I've got something that sort of disturbs me.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Oh, what does.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Last night in a bar over on the West Side,
a man was bashed over the head with a bottle.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
He's in serious condition. Well, what has that got to
do with me?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Well, the man who did the bashing, an next Cohn
by the name of Clinton Levitt is he's asking for you,
says you'll.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Go as bail.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
What I want to know is, how does a guy
like you get.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Mixed up with a joe like that? George? What did
you take that he and I were buddies or something?
I didn't know what the thing. Well, I do know
the man.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
He applied for a job with the company a week
or so ago. The foreman who interviewed him discovered he
was an ex khan and he refused it was to
hire him. It was brought to my attention when one
of the societies that helps x cons called me, So
you got him a job in the plan. No, no, no, no,
I couldn't. I mean, I wouldn't go over thehead of
the foreman. But I did see him, and I, you know,
(21:14):
handed him a couple of dollars, A couple.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Of dollars you know how much money had on them,
And we brought him in two hundred and seventy six dollars.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Oh well, maybe he got lucky at the races with
the money.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I gave him. How much was it?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Oh gee, I don't remember. Fifteen twenty. I just took
it out of my pocket and handed it to him.
It was a, you know, a way of easing my conscience.
I felt bad about the way our foreman had treated them. Well,
take my word for it, this Clint live.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It is a bad customer.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Stay away from him. What will become of him?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Well, you'll go back to the pan Why belongs, and what's.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
The bail said at five thousand?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
And you're not seriously considering putting it up, are you know?
I was just asking because if you are the last
you'll see of your money. For that matter, mister Libitt,
see you'll jump bailies.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
George, I'm a big boy now and I think I
can make my own decisions.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Well, who would have thought, Charles Powell bleeding hearts?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
How Look, we've been friends for over five years. When
you were running for DA I backed you with substantial contributions.
I like you, You're my friend. Let's not kick that
all out because of some stupid disagreement.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
No, let's not kick it out.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
I'm sorry, Charlie, but I just can't understand what your
connection with that ex con is.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Mister Powell. I hope you'll understand. I accept Kenton live
its gates with strong reservation. Yes, I understand a great earn.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Yeah, well how shall I put you? You don't like
your client exactly, However, I shall do my best to
get him off or at least getting my life sentence.
I'm extremely pessimistic about mister Libt's even.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Showing up for trial.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yes, George Hamill also said he expected that Lippitts will
jump his bell and you would forfeit five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yes, I know that doesn't disturb you. No, No, I
don't believe he'll run. I see. Do you want to
speak with him? He's been released.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
He's waiting in the other roofar not particularly, He says
he wants to see you.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Oh well in that case, yes, I'll see him. To
send mister Livert's in.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
I'll leave you alone.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
He didn't need me. I'll be in the other office.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Now come in, mister Libtz. Mister Powell will speak to
you nice. I'll be back when you call.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Just flip the switch on the intercom, Yes.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
I will.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You sure know how to complicate things, Clinton, storry of
my life.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Do you realize you could go up for one to
five years for what you've done?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
No, couldn't happen.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
What do you mean that couldn't happen because you wouldn't
let it happen, Shirley. Look, even with the best lawyer
defending you, he can't guarantee he'll win the CA.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Oh won't let me go to prison. I'm doing my
best for.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
You, but no, but I'm not going back to the band.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Okay, okay, you're not going back.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I suppose just suppose during the trial, if things look bad, yeah,
we get you out of town and let you run
for it, forfeit your ball.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh you'd like that, wouldn't you.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I'd be out of your hair, and all it would
cost you would be the five g's for the baby.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
No, no, no, no no, I give you a substantial pung,
mister Powell. Oh sale, I'm too old to run. But
suppose I got you out of the country with.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
A good nugg of brud stashed away from me Swiss
bank accounting.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I don't know. Why don't we play it by year?
Come in? You wanted to see me?
Speaker 5 (25:07):
JP?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yes? Can you spare a minute? Yeah? Sure.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
I've heard it on the grapevine that you were how
shall I put it, that you were aiding some ex
convict in trouble.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
With the police. That's true, Yes, it's true, John, And
I think I know what kind of grapes grow on
that grapevine.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
All right, George Hammer that physy party, Why can't he
stick to his job?
Speaker 4 (25:34):
And George is a friend. He tells me that the
man you're protecting is a rather reprehensible cap Will.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
You then let me explain it's just a matter of policy,
my helping display. Well, yes, you were.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
You did ask me a few days ago to consider
taking over the job of running this company.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You're going to accept? Well, I was going to tell
you today.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Wonderful, wonderful news. Alison will be delighted. I know she's
been worried about your seeming relucked. Oh no, no, not
reluctant any longer.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
In fact, I've got all sorts of ideas about what
I want to do. This business of getting a hand
to ex conflicts is just one of them.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Do you realize what this would mean in publicity? For
the company to take an interest.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
In the rehabilitation of men would otherwise be lost a
burden to the taxpayer.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I'm going to hire a p arm man. We're going
to be the big corporation with a heart JP Lies, lies,
lies and more lies. How can I keep all these
tony stories straight? Allison? It's like a long, dark tunnel
with no envy.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
It will and it will all turn out all right.
Don't lose your courage now. I love you and need to.
We'll worry this out together.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
You know, you know what I've considered going to the
authorities and saying, look, I'm Robert Hagen, the man you
say died thirteen years ago.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
No, darling, they'd throw you back into.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Prison, where i'd prior the best lawyer.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
No, no, please, don't take suit your checks. What would
I do without.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
You, Jurney Doney.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I don't know how much longer I can stand this pressure.
I've got to do something, something to free myself.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Why not give him a lot of money and ask
him to go away, promise to stay away forever.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
In Hartgrave's office, I suggested that he jump down and
get out of the country.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
What did he say?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Well, when I mentioned a big sum, I didn't exactly
say how much, you know, a Swiss bank account?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
He was interested?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Did he say he would accept?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Well, we were interrupted and he didn't say definitely.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Offer him anything, just get him to go.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
How would I get a large sum of money together?
I have some small investments of fair bank account, but what.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
He might want would be beyond me.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
You'll forget you're marrying a very rich girl.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Oh no, no, no, I wouldn't think of that.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Don't give me that male ego business. I've got money.
That was nice enough to give me a big hunt.
When I was twenty one, I left Louck Allison with.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
All my earthly goods.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
We're not married yet.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
I'm not going to.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Back up now, not have to.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
I've and Doug you with all my earthly or is
it worthly goods?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
You know? You other nuttiest woman I've ever known.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
I see I got to laugh, think Darling, all our
troubles are going to evaporate, vanish.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
No, it won't work out us. It'll never work which
he said. No, Clinton Lippitts will never stick to any bargain.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
He'll want more, and he'll want more. He'll never be satisfied.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
We got him out of the country.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
What's to keep him from coming back when he's broke
or even threatening us from abroad. I gave him a
thousand dollars in cash only a few days ago. When
he was picked up in the bar, he had only
about two hundred and seventy.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Some dollars left.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
In a matter of two days, it squandered over seven hundred.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
But if you were made to understand that the sum
agreed I was all he was going to get.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
I make you understand we're not dealing with a rational,
honest man. He'll agree to anything, and then he'll when
his money runs out or he decides he wants more.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
He'll he'll be right back.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
What can you do?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
There won't be two things one can do about a
black mami. Keep on paying and paying forever.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
And the other and the other.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Kill him, just two ways to deal with a blackmailer.
Charles now must face his conscience. The thought that has
been in the hidden recesses of his mind has been
spoken aloud. We will be back shortly with Act three.
(29:47):
When you say bood him, when you sit alive things
nobody else can say.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Here. When you say blood of you've got it far
and you can go get the very there.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I think about it. Decide for yourself for sure. The
bloodweiser people really do. Willing don't be a right does
make a difference. But doing this up to you.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
Big call king me all the rest?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Well you save.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
You, Sady sat Lewis.
Speaker 10 (30:33):
Who knows how to help you solve your shopping problems?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
The Better Business Bureau?
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Nos, honey, the TV set just won't work. Who do
I take it to? Some lady down the street took
hers into a place that charged her more than her
set was worse.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Gosh, I don't know. I'll tell you what to do. Folks,
who are you?
Speaker 10 (30:59):
I'm thet from your Better Business Bureau. Now, before you
take your set in for repairs, shop around and check
into a firm's reputation. You know that's even more important
than the price. Friends and neighbors can help, or you
can ask for a few names of previous customers to
find out if they were satisfied. And since the amount
you pay will vary from one place to another, it's
(31:22):
up to you to find out an advance what a
service will cost if you have it fixed at home.
Just another consumer tip from your Better Business Bureau.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Charles Powell's life has reached a climax. He must make
a decision to rid himself forever of his blackmailer, and
perhaps that very decision will destroy his life and the
life of a woman he loves. The alternative meant to
keep paying and paying, never feeling safe.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Oh, Alison, I was you were expecting him, weren't you?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (32:20):
I gathered as much when I called you at the
office this afternoon. Aren't you going to ask me?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
In uh yo? Cane?
Speaker 5 (32:31):
You were so evasive?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
He wanted to see me the safety. He wants more
money and you're going to give it to him. Well,
I haven't many choices, have I?
Speaker 5 (32:40):
You mentioned one?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
No? No, Allison, I'm sorry I let that slip out.
I didn't mean it. I couldn't go through with that
if I wanted to, I could what, Honey, you don't
know what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
I know very well, but I'm saying, how long do
you think you can keep this miss hidden? Well?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I don't know. I don't know. Maybe forever. Look, Look,
he's not a young man.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
All those years in prison, a kind of life he's led.
How many years do you think he has left?
Speaker 7 (33:08):
He could die tomorrow, He could do something tomorrow that
would expose the whole game and them.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Where would we be? No, Charles, I love you. I
want us to marry and live a good, peaceful life.
How can we with all that hanging over?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Alison?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Darley Darling, you don't really know what you're suggesting. Look,
maybe if we could get him to leave the country.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
You said there were only two ways to deal with
a blackmail, to keep.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Paying no, No, to murder him is unthinkable.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
George Hammill asked me to stop by at his office
this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Why he's not stupid.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
The story you gave my father about helping.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Ex convicts is a public Relationstun didn't.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Wash with him. He wanted to know what I know
for he.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Was just fishing.
Speaker 7 (33:50):
The best way would be to make it look like
an accident, Alison, We.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Clear me out a car accident.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Oh if I cracked up with Clinton in the car,
I might be the one who gets it.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
And what guarantee do we have that he would die?
Speaker 7 (34:04):
Now, you can't be in the same car. If he
were in another car and you were following him, and
if you raced ahead of him and cut him off
and forced him to.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Crash off the roads.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Oh if if it's too iffy, it's so impersible, it's
so dream like.
Speaker 7 (34:21):
It was a dream last night. I dreamt you were
in a car with me. We saw Clint's up ahead
of this. I said, there's Clint's ahead of his cut
him off and make him crash faster, faster. We've nearly
caught him now right alongside him, fed him over, got
in front of him.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
And I woke up. I was calling out. I was
afraid someone had hurt him. Oh, myterly, it was allso real.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
That's click now, honey, you go at the back door.
I'll from you later. I'm going to stay in meet him.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
No, I'm staying. I've got something to say to him.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
He won't like your being here. Well, it sure took
long enough. What's the idea of Powell? Uh? This is
my fiance, Alison McCreadie. What's she doing here? Will you
come in and stop being childish? Year, I ain't saying
a thing. You got nothing on me.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
And remember, mister Powell, you've got a lot more to
lose than I have.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
I'm not going to lose anything.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
Mister Levitz, you're going to gain by my being here. Yeah,
mister Powell has told me his story, and I agree that.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
It must not get up.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
Go on, I have a lot more money. Let me
put it this way, Charles and I are going to
be married. We want you to leave the country.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Oh I bet you.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Do, lack Clint, you'll do better by accepting our proposition.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
We intend to hand you fifty thousand dollars and.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
An airplane ticket one way and never come back. And
never come back.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
I always wanted to travel, But what fifty g's just chicken?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Frough that's all. That is not enough. I'm taking around
a quarter of a million.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Out of the question. I'm not going to bargain with you.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
I can raise one hundred thousand, No Alison worth it, Charles.
If we can depend on Tint to wipe the whole
matter out of his memory.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
And just go away, Oh you can depend on me,
I'll keep my bargain.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Then it's a deal.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
A deal good.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
It'll take about ten days to raise the money.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
I ain't Norie, you are. And speaking of money, that
was the reason I came tonight, Charlie.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Yeh here, that's five hundred what he said, A g
like the last.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
That's all I could raise in a hurry. When that
runs out, I'll have more. He went through that first thousand.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Off the fast. I got rolled in that bow. I
had the trouble. Oh that reminds me. Your trial comes
up in less than three weeks.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Yeah, oh yeah. Called me at my hotel, see if
I was around.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
I guess our plan is for you to jump to
your bill.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
I'll forfeit the five thousand I.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Put up for it and get you out of the country.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
With a gista full agree and wait, I ain't got
a passport.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Now that can be arranged, Cliff, just leave that to me. Okay, friends,
you got yourself a deal, Say.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
Charlie, you're going to put this meal on your expense account.
I hope to rich for your blood, George, to rich
for my pocket. JP's favorite French restaurant.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Nice to have wealthy, high paid executors for friends. I'm
a simple man. I like simple things and I like
simple answers. Really, how long are you going to cling
to that kakamami story about your helping ex CON's rehabilitate themselves?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
It's the McCoy George. That guy got something on your Charles.
I'd almost sure that telephone or you both. Yes, thank you?
Where is it? Hecy?
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Miss you?
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I will plug it in for you. Thank you, just
like the movies. Yeah, hello, Charles. Oh yes, Allison.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
I know George Himmels when you else. He told me
you were lunching with him. Listen to what I'm going
to say, but don't get on to George.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Uh yes, yes, yes, dear Allison says hello.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
And to remind you that in two and a half
weeks she wants to see you at the church promptly
at eleven I'll try to remember.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Okay, he's all set, darling. Now what's important.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
It's got to be tonight. I'll have the house all
to myself.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Uh, why is the color scheme so important?
Speaker 5 (38:39):
The housekeeper and her husband are going into town to
see their fifteen year old son in a high school play.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Well, I don't see that that's such a problem. Choose
whatever color will make the bride's maids happy.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Rent a car and let Clint take it to drive
out and be here promptly at nine. Do not come together.
You come out in your own car, but first report
it broken down, have it picked up to memorrow morning.
You'll bring it back after it's all over. Understand, we
did not see each other. You couldn't get here because
your car was out of order.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Oh, yes, yes, I followed, Dear, I follow. I'm not
sure I agree.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
I have a twenty two target pistool. I know how
to use it.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yes, I I know. You'll have to ask him to
come there. But then what do we do with the
unwelcome guest.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
There's a spot about one hundred yards behind the house.
We get him out there in a wheelbarrow. There's a hole,
an old cesspool. We drop him in quick.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Gun.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
Gardener's got several bags.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
But uh, suppose the gardener wants to supply some flowers
for it?
Speaker 5 (39:40):
All over a year fired, We didn't hire.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
One after that.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
As soon as it's all over, we'll take the rental
car and dump it over the edge of the road.
Dear town, you know that bad place where there's no
shoulder on the road and on the your friendly guard rail.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Mm, yes, yes, I know. I know.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
We dumped the car there and it'd smash up if
it catches fire. So much the better. And you take
me back to the hu US and rush back to
the city report the rental car. Stone. You've been in
your apartment all evening.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Understand, Yes?
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Uh, the color scheme suits me fine. Dear you sure
have it all planned, no bibbles, no slip.
Speaker 8 (40:16):
Ups, all planned.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yes. I'll be in my office till late tonight nine
at least if you want to reach me.
Speaker 8 (40:22):
Good.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
That was for George's ears, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yes, that's correct, Allison.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I now look, I have a report to get out.
If you've completed your instructions, off, get back to my
lunch with George.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Goodbye day.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
Wow, that's only the beginning, Charlie, where does she get
your signed on the dotted line?
Speaker 7 (40:51):
Mister Powell, mister Powell, something terrible's happened.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
What is it else?
Speaker 7 (40:55):
It's been a terrible accident on the late ship.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Man.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
I's got a machine the big Presley here, good lord?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Has the hospital been called? I call him on your phone.

then call down to the plant. Tell him I'm coming down.
If it's what I think it is, the machine will
have to be partially dismantled, Yes, sir. Hello Allison, listen,
there's a change of plans.
Speaker 5 (41:19):

A man's caught in the big metal press. I've got
to help get him out us.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
What about us?
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Well, when he comes, stall him, just tell him what happened.
Why I'm delayed.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
I haven't got the money, Charles.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Tell him I'm bringing the money, the airplane ticket and
the passport.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Just stall him.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
I'll do my best, but hurry. He scares me.

there's nothing wrong with the car. I just want to
report it stolen.
Speaker 2 (43:44):

I asked for my car to be picked up in
my driveway.
Speaker 2 (43:49):

Speaker 3 (43:49):
And I called, or rather my secretary called, at ten
this morning.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Well, I think I can clear up one of your puzzles. Charlie,
your rental car was found with a thief in it.
You uh caught him dead, burned to a cinder. Must
have been going at a terrific speed. Tire marks on
the road as he went off, cracked up and burned.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yeah, some kid, Now.
Speaker 4 (45:13):
This may surprise you. It's your protege, Clint Livitz. We
found enough of him to identify him and slightly burnt,
still usable bank roll of sizeable proportions. Well that closes
his case, doesn't it? And opens up several others. Incidentally,
(45:37):
where were you all evening home?
Speaker 2 (45:40):
After I got back from the plant. You didn't go up. Well,
I told you my rental car got stolen.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
I came home by cab to change my claws. The
big car is out of condition.
Speaker 4 (45:51):
I won't play games with you, Charlie. I checked it
in the driveway just before I came up. The engine
is still quite warm.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
Do you want to explain that? No, I don't. I'll explain, Charlie.
I'm arresting you for murder. I must warn that. George,
what are you talking about? Are you accusing me of
Clint Livedt's death.
Speaker 4 (46:18):
No, No, that was obviously an accident. I'm holding you
for the murder of Alison McCready, the girl you were
going to marry. And in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen of
the jury, my prosecution of Charles Powell or Robert Hagen
(46:43):
has been a painful pass I was his best friend.
It was difficult to believe that he would kill the
woman he loved.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
But the evidence is conclusive.
Speaker 4 (46:55):
Charles killed his lovely fiance because she discovered his real identity,
an escaped convict, a killer sentenced to life for another murder.
The testimony of the housekeeper, Missus Francis, cannot be doubted.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
She did not leave the house as he thought.
Speaker 4 (47:14):
She saw him run from the house, jump into his car,
and race away, and then she discovered the body of
Alison McCready, shot through the head.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
You runner, may, I.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
May, I make a statement before you pronounce sentenced. I
did not kill Alison.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
I loved her. To say anything more in my defense
is useless and unnecessary. Alison is dead. All I ask
is that I be given the chance to follow it
swiftly and deficiently.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
And so a man is twice accused of murder and
twice sentenced for the crime.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
A weary man who asks only to be allowed to
follow the woman he loved. I'll be back shortly.
Speaker 5 (48:22):
Take the child as take it out again. If you say,
my mind is yours, sin your heart.
Speaker 8 (48:39):
Your line when.
Speaker 5 (48:44):
Love is?
Speaker 2 (48:47):
How do you do?
Speaker 8 (48:48):
Sir?
Speaker 2 (48:48):
And my grandmother just died. I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 5 (48:51):
Meet missus mcnophin.
Speaker 8 (48:52):
How do you do?
Speaker 5 (48:54):
Did you know you have spinach on your teeth? That's wonderful.
This is mister Jackson, Nice to meet you.
Speaker 2 (48:59):
I who bought it? Play? Oh yes, mister play read.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
With reception lines.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
I'm the only places people don't listen.
Speaker 12 (49:05):
But when.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
A lot from the.
Speaker 12 (49:16):
Church of Jesus Christ, of whattter day Saints, the Mormons,
And there we have it, Charles Powell's joust with Fate.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
What difference did it make that he knew that Clint
had murdered Allison? They didn't believe him, and he was
too weary to try to make them believe. Our cast
included Larry Haynes, Anne Mitcham, Jackson Beck, Sidney Walker, and
Tom Keena. Entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown.
(50:04):
Now appease you of our next tale.
Speaker 5 (50:08):

Speaker 7 (50:17):
He'd empty his suitcases and put his clothes in the
closets his his suitcases too.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
Just ladies clothes yours, ma'am. Yes see, look, look this
dream was no dream. Okay, okay, So maybe you imagine
that I didn't imagine anything. Do you imagine a husband?
Speaker 11 (50:45):
Do you imagine a month long honeymoon?
Speaker 5 (50:48):
Do you imagine a man in a chair with a
knife in his check?

Everything looked right to Charles Powell at chrisp September morning
when he walked into his executive office at the JP
McCready Company.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
And why shouldn't it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Charlie Powell was a big.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Shot there at thirty seven, executive vice president of one
of the largest manufacturers of heavy construction equipment in the country,
and he had done it all in less than twelve years.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It was a real life Horatio Algier.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Story, even to his being engaged to.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
JP McCready's daughter Allison.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
How could anything go wrong? But it did. The moment
he walked into his private.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Office, Yes, I'll see there's someone to see you appointment, no, sir,
but he says that.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
You'll see him. Mister Powell, maybe I'd better come in
and explain.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yes, a rightly.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Sorry, that sounds strange, but really, mister Powell, that man
is kind of frightening, frightenly. Well, he just sits there
and grins at me.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
I told him he didn't see people without an appointment.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
He said, Oh, you'll see me. Just tell him it's
an old friend, Clint. Do you know anybody by that name?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Clinton? Oh, it doesn't ring a bell, all right, send
it in a give rid of them.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Well, I try to see everybody, mister just Clint. I
don't think you ever knew me by anything, but Clint,
you must remember, mister Powell. Well, I'm sorry, but I
come on, give it a try, give it a good try.
Look here, I'm busy, and I have neither the time
nor the patience.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
You must be putting on an act, mister Charles Powell.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Maybe this will jolt your memory three five four one
o six three What.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah? I thought that would do with Charlie.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I thought that might help you remember, Charles.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Oh, I'm sorry, mister mcredy. I guess it was day dreaming.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Something bothering you, young man. No, no, I hope not here.
I take you to the best French restaurant in town.
You pick at your food, gaze into space, send your
dinner away.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Are a bit dotful? Did I send all that good
food back without eating it? If you did, I.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Particularly wanted to see you alone, Charles, because I have
a little news for you.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
News. What kind of news, mister mccreedy. And that's another thing.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
You're so damned formal with me, mister McGready. Do you
realize that in exactly five weeks you're going to be
one of the family.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Of course I realized.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
How could I overlook it when Allison keeps reminding me regularly?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Very well? Then do you think you're proper to call
your a father in law.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
To be, mister mcgreedy.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
If you don't start calling me John, okay, John little pee,
I'm going to leak a little information to you. Yes,
as you know, I've been thinking of stepping down from
the presidency of the company.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yes, well, it has been rumored, but I wish you'd
reconsider it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well. Sincerely, the place wouldn't be the same without you.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I'll still be there, Charlie. I'm not giving up my stock.
The name of the company will still be j P
McGredy Company. The only difference will be that you will
be sitting at my.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Desk, said he at your desk.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well, I thought hatches were slated to take over when
you stepped out.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
No, No, Tom was seriously considered.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
But he's a bit too old for the job.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
No, the company needs young blood. Well, I'm really bold
over when I've watched you grow come up on merit ability.
You're going to go far, my boy. Of course, the
board will have to vote on your appointment, but that
isn't saying goes is in the bag.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Well, there's something you've omitted. John. You haven't asked me
if I wanted the job. Is it necessary to ask?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I remember another lunch with you several years ago. We
got talking about ambitions and you said that you would
never be satisfied with second best. It had to be
the top job or you'd move on.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yes, if that was before this morning. But nothing, just mumbling.
I'd like to know how you feel about it jobs.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well, heavens to be considered for the position as an
honymous John, and your answer.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Let me think it over. I must think it over.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Your life insurance churn the way you're driving.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
May you love to get me yourself and both of it?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I guess I didn't realize how
fast I was going. This car has more power than
it needs, more than I need.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
At least it gave us a topic for conversation.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
HM, what did you're driving? Darling?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I'm the girl you asked to marry you. Something is
struggling you, something.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Big, Allison. Did your father tell you what he's planning?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Dad never tells me anything. I have an idea. He
thinks of me as a bird prayer.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
He wants me to take over the presidency of the company.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
That's marvelous. Couldn't have made a better choice.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
What's you're prejudice?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
But it's a nice kind of preasudice.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I uh, I don't think I'll accept it.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
What but Darling, it's right for you. You've worked with
that go. You're the right man for.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
The job, am I?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
What is this lack of confidence about fever?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
You're being rid No, I'm being practical and sensible. My
being president of the McCready company would bring nothing but trouble.
What are you saying I'm even considering resigning my present job. Why, Alison,
tell me.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Whatever it is, I'll never stop loving you.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I'll tell you when I get up enough courage. Please, Darling,
be patient with me, Just be patient. I love you too.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
So now you finally got here.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I thought you were going to forget or a point five.
You didn't really think that, Clint, Oh.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I know you'd come. You wouldn't dare not to come, sir.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You got it with you. Yes, I've got it. Small bills,
five stands as specified.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Lets have it, pretty manilla envelope, too nice.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Now, look, I don't know how much longer I can
do this.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
You'll do it as long as I.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Say, And if I run out of money, you'll.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Just have to scrounge around and find more.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I'm thinking of quitting my job. You wouldn't want to
do that, Charlie.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well suppose suppose it gets too much for me and
I say, go ahead?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Spell what you know?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
You wouldn't do that. You're gonna marry a very rich girl.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
A couple of extra yards.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Ain't gonna change your manner of living even a couple extra.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Grand how long. But you're gonna suck my blood. I
don't like the way you put that Charlie. I'd rather you'd.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Think of it like it was sort of sharing the wealth.
You got the bread.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I got nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
This way, we both got something.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I got a nice living and you.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You've got your freedom. Hello Charles. Oh oh yes, mister, Yes, John.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Sorry to bother you at this hour.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
He wanted to sleep. Were you at ten fifteen?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
No? The reason I'm calling yes is something bothering you?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
My boy? Well, I uh, I've had some things on
my mind lately. I'm sorry. It was so noticeable.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
It occurred to me that a young man gets a
bit absent minded is the day of his wedding approaches,
perhaps a bit fright.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
No, no, no, it isn't that JP. Oh excuse me, John,
someone's at my door. Hold on just a moment.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Forgive me for coming here.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I've got your father on the phone. Come in, darling.
Hello John. Uh, it was just a porter with a package.
What were you saying?
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Nothing, really, I'm just concerned. Whatever is troubling you can
be taken care of. I'm backing you.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
All the way.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Well, I appreciate your feelings, JP, but there really is
no cause for concern. I'll snap out of this in a.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Day or so good.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
It's reassuring to hear you say that.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Now, forgive me for disturbing you know I wasn't disturbed.
Thanks for calling. Good night, good night JP.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Even Dad notices that something is wrong. Yeah, I haven't
seen you in three days. You trying to tell me something.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
All I hear is all I want to tell you
is that I love you very much from a distance.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I called you at your office twice this.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Afternoon, Allison, Alison, I can't keep this from you. I
thought I could, but every day, every hour, it grows
bigger until me. How it feels as it's going to win,
engulf me and you are life everything that has meaning
for me.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
No, no, no, hear me out, and then if you
want to go out that door quietly, I won't say
anything more, and you can forget that you've ever known
me loved you.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Are you trying to say you don't want to marry me?
Did you stop loving me?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Darling? It's because I love you that I'm gonna tell you.
I considered keeping the whole matter from you, writing out
the trouble and probably overcoming it.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
Darling, how little you know me? No matter what the
trouble is. I wanna be with you if.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You want me, Alison, I'm a fraud. What I'm not
Charles Powell. It's a name I assumed to hide my
real identity.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Want me to go on, yes, darling, go on.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
At the age of twenty two, I was charged and
convicted of murder and sent to San Quentin for life.
I was innocent, evidence circumstantial evidence, court appointed attorney who
didn't know what to do, what didn't care, A weak
effort to appeal which was refused, and there I was,
at twenty two, in prison for life, chance of a
(14:59):
parole on after serving twenty years.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I'd be old.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
All my young life confined in prison. So when I
had a chance to get out and ran for two years,
do you know what it means to be hunted? You
can't get a job, you have no place to live,
you can't have a sleep for fear someone will see
you and turn you in. I was ready to give
myself up when I suddenly.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Discovered that it wasn't necessary to run any longer. I
picked up a two week old newspaper and read a
report of my death.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
What yes, a man A man had been burned to
death in a flop house fire. The only thing he
had on him was something that I had kept my
only possession, a locket belonging.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
To my mother.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And I had a picture of Earth taken when she
married my father, and it had been stolen from me
as I lay asleep in a freight car. I guess
the thief thought it was gold.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
It was just cheap.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Gold plate and the man to you.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
My mother and father's names were inscribed on the back.
The man was so badly burned that the locket was
the only thing that could possibly identify him, and after
two years of hunting, the authorities.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Were glad to close the file. I'm Robert Hagen.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Robert Higgin sounds so strange. The name doesn't fit you.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
It sounds strange to me too, now, Donny, I'm innocent.
I never did it.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
It was all a mistake. I don't doubt that for
an instant dearess. I only wish you'd never told me.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
I had to tell you.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You see, someone knows who I am. He's blackmailing me.
Speaker 1 (16:54):

Speaker 1 (19:23):
When Charles Powell chose to give in to his blackmailer,
he didn't envision the trouble that was building.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Up for him. Just keep paying and I'll keep my
mouth shut.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
As blackmailer assured him, but then something happened that threatened
to destroy charles fragile security.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yes, Elsie, mister Hamil is here to see.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
You, George Hamil. We're not playing tennis until tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
I know that Charlie's got something else to talk about.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Business business, yours are.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Mine mine, but it concerns you, Okay, come into it.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Sorry to bar Jdanya. I know you're busy.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I'm never too busy to see George Hamil, rising young
district attorney and next governor.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Of the state near Humor Creeks.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Charlie, Seriously, I've got something that sort of disturbs me.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Oh, what does.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Last night in a bar over on the West Side,
a man was bashed over the head with a bottle.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
He's in serious condition. Well, what has that got to
do with me?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Well, the man who did the bashing, an next Cohn
by the name of Clinton Levitt is he's asking for you,
says you'll.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Go as bail.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
What I want to know is, how does a guy
like you get.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Mixed up with a joe like that? George? What did
you take that he and I were buddies or something?
I didn't know what the thing. Well, I do know
the man.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
He applied for a job with the company a week
or so ago. The foreman who interviewed him discovered he
was an ex khan and he refused it was to
hire him. It was brought to my attention when one
of the societies that helps x cons called me, So
you got him a job in the plan. No, no, no, no,
I couldn't. I mean, I wouldn't go over thehead of
the foreman. But I did see him, and I, you know,
(21:14):
handed him a couple of dollars, A couple.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Of dollars you know how much money had on them,
And we brought him in two hundred and seventy six dollars.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Oh well, maybe he got lucky at the races with
the money.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I gave him. How much was it?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Oh gee, I don't remember. Fifteen twenty. I just took
it out of my pocket and handed it to him.
It was a, you know, a way of easing my conscience.
I felt bad about the way our foreman had treated them. Well,
take my word for it, this Clint live.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It is a bad customer.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Stay away from him. What will become of him?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Well, you'll go back to the pan Why belongs, and what's.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
The bail said at five thousand?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
And you're not seriously considering putting it up, are you know?
I was just asking because if you are the last
you'll see of your money. For that matter, mister Libitt,
see you'll jump bailies.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
George, I'm a big boy now and I think I
can make my own decisions.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Well, who would have thought, Charles Powell bleeding hearts?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
How Look, we've been friends for over five years. When
you were running for DA I backed you with substantial contributions.
I like you, You're my friend. Let's not kick that
all out because of some stupid disagreement.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
No, let's not kick it out.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
I'm sorry, Charlie, but I just can't understand what your
connection with that ex con is.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Mister Powell. I hope you'll understand. I accept Kenton live
its gates with strong reservation. Yes, I understand a great earn.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Yeah, well how shall I put you? You don't like
your client exactly, However, I shall do my best to
get him off or at least getting my life sentence.
I'm extremely pessimistic about mister Libt's even.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Showing up for trial.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yes, George Hamill also said he expected that Lippitts will
jump his bell and you would forfeit five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yes, I know that doesn't disturb you. No, No, I
don't believe he'll run. I see. Do you want to
speak with him? He's been released.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
He's waiting in the other roofar not particularly, He says
he wants to see you.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Oh well in that case, yes, I'll see him. To
send mister Livert's in.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
I'll leave you alone.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
He didn't need me. I'll be in the other office.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Now come in, mister Libtz. Mister Powell will speak to
you nice. I'll be back when you call.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Just flip the switch on the intercom, Yes.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
I will.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You sure know how to complicate things, Clinton, storry of
my life.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Do you realize you could go up for one to
five years for what you've done?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
No, couldn't happen.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
What do you mean that couldn't happen because you wouldn't
let it happen, Shirley. Look, even with the best lawyer
defending you, he can't guarantee he'll win the CA.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Oh won't let me go to prison. I'm doing my
best for.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
You, but no, but I'm not going back to the band.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Okay, okay, you're not going back.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I suppose just suppose during the trial, if things look bad, yeah,
we get you out of town and let you run
for it, forfeit your ball.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh you'd like that, wouldn't you.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I'd be out of your hair, and all it would
cost you would be the five g's for the baby.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
No, no, no, no no, I give you a substantial pung,
mister Powell. Oh sale, I'm too old to run. But
suppose I got you out of the country with.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
A good nugg of brud stashed away from me Swiss
bank accounting.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I don't know. Why don't we play it by year?
Come in? You wanted to see me?
Speaker 5 (25:07):
JP?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yes? Can you spare a minute? Yeah? Sure.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
I've heard it on the grapevine that you were how
shall I put it, that you were aiding some ex
convict in trouble.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
With the police. That's true, Yes, it's true, John, And
I think I know what kind of grapes grow on
that grapevine.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
All right, George Hammer that physy party, Why can't he
stick to his job?
Speaker 4 (25:34):
And George is a friend. He tells me that the
man you're protecting is a rather reprehensible cap Will.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
You then let me explain it's just a matter of policy,
my helping display. Well, yes, you were.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
You did ask me a few days ago to consider
taking over the job of running this company.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You're going to accept? Well, I was going to tell
you today.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Wonderful, wonderful news. Alison will be delighted. I know she's
been worried about your seeming relucked. Oh no, no, not
reluctant any longer.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
In fact, I've got all sorts of ideas about what
I want to do. This business of getting a hand
to ex conflicts is just one of them.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Do you realize what this would mean in publicity? For
the company to take an interest.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
In the rehabilitation of men would otherwise be lost a
burden to the taxpayer.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I'm going to hire a p arm man. We're going
to be the big corporation with a heart JP Lies, lies,
lies and more lies. How can I keep all these
tony stories straight? Allison? It's like a long, dark tunnel
with no envy.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
It will and it will all turn out all right.
Don't lose your courage now. I love you and need to.
We'll worry this out together.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
You know, you know what I've considered going to the
authorities and saying, look, I'm Robert Hagen, the man you
say died thirteen years ago.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
No, darling, they'd throw you back into.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Prison, where i'd prior the best lawyer.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
No, no, please, don't take suit your checks. What would
I do without.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
You, Jurney Doney.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I don't know how much longer I can stand this pressure.
I've got to do something, something to free myself.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Why not give him a lot of money and ask
him to go away, promise to stay away forever.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
In Hartgrave's office, I suggested that he jump down and
get out of the country.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
What did he say?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Well, when I mentioned a big sum, I didn't exactly
say how much, you know, a Swiss bank account?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
He was interested?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Did he say he would accept?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Well, we were interrupted and he didn't say definitely.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Offer him anything, just get him to go.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
How would I get a large sum of money together?
I have some small investments of fair bank account, but what.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
He might want would be beyond me.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
You'll forget you're marrying a very rich girl.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Oh no, no, no, I wouldn't think of that.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Don't give me that male ego business. I've got money.
That was nice enough to give me a big hunt.
When I was twenty one, I left Louck Allison with.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
All my earthly goods.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
We're not married yet.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
I'm not going to.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Back up now, not have to.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
I've and Doug you with all my earthly or is
it worthly goods?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
You know? You other nuttiest woman I've ever known.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
I see I got to laugh, think Darling, all our
troubles are going to evaporate, vanish.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
No, it won't work out us. It'll never work which
he said. No, Clinton Lippitts will never stick to any bargain.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
He'll want more, and he'll want more. He'll never be satisfied.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
We got him out of the country.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
What's to keep him from coming back when he's broke
or even threatening us from abroad. I gave him a
thousand dollars in cash only a few days ago. When
he was picked up in the bar, he had only
about two hundred and seventy.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Some dollars left.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
In a matter of two days, it squandered over seven hundred.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
But if you were made to understand that the sum
agreed I was all he was going to get.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
I make you understand we're not dealing with a rational,
honest man. He'll agree to anything, and then he'll when
his money runs out or he decides he wants more.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
He'll he'll be right back.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
What can you do?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
There won't be two things one can do about a
black mami. Keep on paying and paying forever.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
And the other and the other.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Kill him, just two ways to deal with a blackmailer.
Charles now must face his conscience. The thought that has
been in the hidden recesses of his mind has been
spoken aloud. We will be back shortly with Act three.
(29:47):
When you say bood him, when you sit alive things
nobody else can say.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Here. When you say blood of you've got it far
and you can go get the very there.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I think about it. Decide for yourself for sure. The
bloodweiser people really do. Willing don't be a right does
make a difference. But doing this up to you.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
Big call king me all the rest?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Well you save.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
You, Sady sat Lewis.
Speaker 10 (30:33):
Who knows how to help you solve your shopping problems?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
The Better Business Bureau?
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Nos, honey, the TV set just won't work. Who do
I take it to? Some lady down the street took
hers into a place that charged her more than her
set was worse.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Gosh, I don't know. I'll tell you what to do. Folks,
who are you?
Speaker 10 (30:59):
I'm thet from your Better Business Bureau. Now, before you
take your set in for repairs, shop around and check
into a firm's reputation. You know that's even more important
than the price. Friends and neighbors can help, or you
can ask for a few names of previous customers to
find out if they were satisfied. And since the amount
you pay will vary from one place to another, it's
(31:22):
up to you to find out an advance what a
service will cost if you have it fixed at home.
Just another consumer tip from your Better Business Bureau.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Charles Powell's life has reached a climax. He must make
a decision to rid himself forever of his blackmailer, and
perhaps that very decision will destroy his life and the
life of a woman he loves. The alternative meant to
keep paying and paying, never feeling safe.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Oh, Alison, I was you were expecting him, weren't you?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (32:20):
I gathered as much when I called you at the
office this afternoon. Aren't you going to ask me?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
In uh yo? Cane?
Speaker 5 (32:31):
You were so evasive?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
He wanted to see me the safety. He wants more
money and you're going to give it to him. Well,
I haven't many choices, have I?
Speaker 5 (32:40):
You mentioned one?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
No? No, Allison, I'm sorry I let that slip out.
I didn't mean it. I couldn't go through with that
if I wanted to, I could what, Honey, you don't
know what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
I know very well, but I'm saying, how long do
you think you can keep this miss hidden? Well?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I don't know. I don't know. Maybe forever. Look, Look,
he's not a young man.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
All those years in prison, a kind of life he's led.
How many years do you think he has left?
Speaker 7 (33:08):
He could die tomorrow, He could do something tomorrow that
would expose the whole game and them.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Where would we be? No, Charles, I love you. I
want us to marry and live a good, peaceful life.
How can we with all that hanging over?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Alison?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Darley Darling, you don't really know what you're suggesting. Look,
maybe if we could get him to leave the country.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
You said there were only two ways to deal with
a blackmail, to keep.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Paying no, No, to murder him is unthinkable.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
George Hammill asked me to stop by at his office
this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Why he's not stupid.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
The story you gave my father about helping.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Ex convicts is a public Relationstun didn't.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Wash with him. He wanted to know what I know
for he.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Was just fishing.
Speaker 7 (33:50):
The best way would be to make it look like
an accident, Alison, We.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Clear me out a car accident.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Oh if I cracked up with Clinton in the car,
I might be the one who gets it.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
And what guarantee do we have that he would die?
Speaker 7 (34:04):
Now, you can't be in the same car. If he
were in another car and you were following him, and
if you raced ahead of him and cut him off
and forced him to.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Crash off the roads.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Oh if if it's too iffy, it's so impersible, it's
so dream like.
Speaker 7 (34:21):
It was a dream last night. I dreamt you were
in a car with me. We saw Clint's up ahead
of this. I said, there's Clint's ahead of his cut
him off and make him crash faster, faster. We've nearly
caught him now right alongside him, fed him over, got
in front of him.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
And I woke up. I was calling out. I was
afraid someone had hurt him. Oh, myterly, it was allso real.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
That's click now, honey, you go at the back door.
I'll from you later. I'm going to stay in meet him.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
No, I'm staying. I've got something to say to him.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
He won't like your being here. Well, it sure took
long enough. What's the idea of Powell? Uh? This is
my fiance, Alison McCreadie. What's she doing here? Will you
come in and stop being childish? Year, I ain't saying
a thing. You got nothing on me.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
And remember, mister Powell, you've got a lot more to
lose than I have.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
I'm not going to lose anything.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
Mister Levitz, you're going to gain by my being here. Yeah,
mister Powell has told me his story, and I agree that.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
It must not get up.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
Go on, I have a lot more money. Let me
put it this way, Charles and I are going to
be married. We want you to leave the country.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Oh I bet you.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Do, lack Clint, you'll do better by accepting our proposition.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
We intend to hand you fifty thousand dollars and.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
An airplane ticket one way and never come back. And
never come back.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
I always wanted to travel, But what fifty g's just chicken?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Frough that's all. That is not enough. I'm taking around
a quarter of a million.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Out of the question. I'm not going to bargain with you.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
I can raise one hundred thousand, No Alison worth it, Charles.
If we can depend on Tint to wipe the whole
matter out of his memory.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
And just go away, Oh you can depend on me,
I'll keep my bargain.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Then it's a deal.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
A deal good.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
It'll take about ten days to raise the money.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
I ain't Norie, you are. And speaking of money, that
was the reason I came tonight, Charlie.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Yeh here, that's five hundred what he said, A g
like the last.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
That's all I could raise in a hurry. When that
runs out, I'll have more. He went through that first thousand.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Off the fast. I got rolled in that bow. I
had the trouble. Oh that reminds me. Your trial comes
up in less than three weeks.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Yeah, oh yeah. Called me at my hotel, see if
I was around.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
I guess our plan is for you to jump to
your bill.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
I'll forfeit the five thousand I.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Put up for it and get you out of the country.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
With a gista full agree and wait, I ain't got
a passport.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Now that can be arranged, Cliff, just leave that to me. Okay, friends,
you got yourself a deal, Say.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
Charlie, you're going to put this meal on your expense account.
I hope to rich for your blood, George, to rich
for my pocket. JP's favorite French restaurant.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Nice to have wealthy, high paid executors for friends. I'm
a simple man. I like simple things and I like
simple answers. Really, how long are you going to cling
to that kakamami story about your helping ex CON's rehabilitate themselves?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
It's the McCoy George. That guy got something on your Charles.
I'd almost sure that telephone or you both. Yes, thank you?
Where is it? Hecy?
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Miss you?
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I will plug it in for you. Thank you, just
like the movies. Yeah, hello, Charles. Oh yes, Allison.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
I know George Himmels when you else. He told me
you were lunching with him. Listen to what I'm going
to say, but don't get on to George.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Uh yes, yes, yes, dear Allison says hello.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
And to remind you that in two and a half
weeks she wants to see you at the church promptly
at eleven I'll try to remember.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Okay, he's all set, darling. Now what's important.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
It's got to be tonight. I'll have the house all
to myself.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Uh, why is the color scheme so important?
Speaker 5 (38:39):
The housekeeper and her husband are going into town to
see their fifteen year old son in a high school play.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Well, I don't see that that's such a problem. Choose
whatever color will make the bride's maids happy.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Rent a car and let Clint take it to drive
out and be here promptly at nine. Do not come together.
You come out in your own car, but first report
it broken down, have it picked up to memorrow morning.
You'll bring it back after it's all over. Understand, we
did not see each other. You couldn't get here because
your car was out of order.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Oh, yes, yes, I followed, Dear, I follow. I'm not
sure I agree.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
I have a twenty two target pistool. I know how
to use it.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yes, I I know. You'll have to ask him to
come there. But then what do we do with the
unwelcome guest.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
There's a spot about one hundred yards behind the house.
We get him out there in a wheelbarrow. There's a hole,
an old cesspool. We drop him in quick.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Gun.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
Gardener's got several bags.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
But uh, suppose the gardener wants to supply some flowers
for it?
Speaker 5 (39:40):
All over a year fired, We didn't hire.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
One after that.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
As soon as it's all over, we'll take the rental
car and dump it over the edge of the road.
Dear town, you know that bad place where there's no
shoulder on the road and on the your friendly guard rail.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Mm, yes, yes, I know. I know.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
We dumped the car there and it'd smash up if
it catches fire. So much the better. And you take
me back to the hu US and rush back to
the city report the rental car. Stone. You've been in
your apartment all evening.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Understand, Yes?
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Uh, the color scheme suits me fine. Dear you sure
have it all planned, no bibbles, no slip.
Speaker 8 (40:16):
Ups, all planned.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yes. I'll be in my office till late tonight nine
at least if you want to reach me.
Speaker 8 (40:22):
Good.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
That was for George's ears, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yes, that's correct, Allison.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I now look, I have a report to get out.
If you've completed your instructions, off, get back to my
lunch with George.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Goodbye day.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
Wow, that's only the beginning, Charlie, where does she get
your signed on the dotted line?
Speaker 7 (40:51):
Mister Powell, mister Powell, something terrible's happened.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
What is it else?
Speaker 7 (40:55):
It's been a terrible accident on the late ship.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Man.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
I's got a machine the big Presley here, good lord?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Has the hospital been called? I call him on your phone.
I've got to use this one, Yes, sir, I'll call
then call down to the plant. Tell him I'm coming down.
If it's what I think it is, the machine will
have to be partially dismantled, Yes, sir. Hello Allison, listen,
there's a change of plans.
Speaker 5 (41:19):
Charles, where are you?
Speaker 2 (41:20):
I'm still at the office.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
Something is you'll be here at night?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Yes, I know he has the rental car. I got
it for it.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
Well, there's been a bad accident on the night shift.
A man's caught in the big metal press. I've got
to help get him out us.
Speaker 5 (41:32):
What about us?
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Well, when he comes, stall him, just tell him what happened.
Why I'm delayed.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
I haven't got the money, Charles.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
Tell him I'm bringing the money, the airplane ticket and
the passport.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Just stall him.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
I'll do my best, but hurry. He scares me.
Speaker 8 (41:54):
Ten o'clock.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Had later. I'll be still there.
Speaker 8 (42:00):
Lights, two ladies, do here.
Speaker 11 (42:07):
Allison, Allison, open up, please clean, don't leave. Clive wait,
well you wait, I'm here, clean clean.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
I couldn't stop him.
Speaker 8 (42:19):
I gotta catch him.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
Clean head, cut him off and make him crash, make
him crash. Caught him off fast and we've had he
caught him, fight him.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Clue, Clint b stuff.
Speaker 5 (42:52):
I'll bring above the road for him often, force him often,
got you off your.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
Time, crash and Ernie let him, let him burn.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
Hello is this Arrow Car Rental Service? Well, I rented
a car from you people this morning. No, no, no, no,
there's nothing wrong with the car. I just want to
report it stolen.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
The City Foreign Car Service. Look.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
I asked for my car to be picked up in
my driveway.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
It's still here.
Speaker 3 (43:49):
And I called, or rather my secretary called, at ten
this morning.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
My name is Charles Powell. Oh, come on, come on,
I'll dance the phone. Yeah, just a moment. Oh, George, George,
(44:17):
it's uh kind of late for a visit. Come in thanks.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
I uh I I was just trying to phone Allison. Well,
what a night this has been. Uh, there was an
accident at the planet. Uh, Peterson, I hope they don't
have to hechitate, I hear yes, and then uh when
I got outside, I had a date with Alison in
the car that I had rendered.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
This morning was uh was missing? It was stolen. What
happened to that great, big, powerful foreign job? If you?
Speaker 3 (44:40):
Oh, uh, it wouldn't start this morning? Had Elsie call
the service people, but they haven't picked it up yet.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
I just called them. May they uh have a night
answering service? You've had a busy evening? Yeah, very.
Speaker 4 (44:53):
Well, I think I can clear up one of your puzzles. Charlie,
your rental car was found with a thief in it.
You uh caught him dead, burned to a cinder. Must
have been going at a terrific speed. Tire marks on
the road as he went off, cracked up and burned.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yeah, some kid, Now.
Speaker 4 (45:13):
This may surprise you. It's your protege, Clint Livitz. We
found enough of him to identify him and slightly burnt,
still usable bank roll of sizeable proportions. Well that closes
his case, doesn't it? And opens up several others. Incidentally,
(45:37):
where were you all evening home?
Speaker 2 (45:40):
After I got back from the plant. You didn't go up. Well,
I told you my rental car got stolen.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
I came home by cab to change my claws. The
big car is out of condition.
Speaker 4 (45:51):
I won't play games with you, Charlie. I checked it
in the driveway just before I came up. The engine
is still quite warm.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
Do you want to explain that? No, I don't. I'll explain, Charlie.
I'm arresting you for murder. I must warn that. George,
what are you talking about? Are you accusing me of
Clint Livedt's death.
Speaker 4 (46:18):
No, No, that was obviously an accident. I'm holding you
for the murder of Alison McCready, the girl you were
going to marry. And in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen of
the jury, my prosecution of Charles Powell or Robert Hagen
(46:43):
has been a painful pass I was his best friend.
It was difficult to believe that he would kill the
woman he loved.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
But the evidence is conclusive.
Speaker 4 (46:55):
Charles killed his lovely fiance because she discovered his real identity,
an escaped convict, a killer sentenced to life for another murder.
The testimony of the housekeeper, Missus Francis, cannot be doubted.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
She did not leave the house as he thought.
Speaker 4 (47:14):
She saw him run from the house, jump into his car,
and race away, and then she discovered the body of
Alison McCready, shot through the head.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
You runner, may, I.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
May, I make a statement before you pronounce sentenced. I
did not kill Alison.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
I loved her. To say anything more in my defense
is useless and unnecessary. Alison is dead. All I ask
is that I be given the chance to follow it
swiftly and deficiently.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
And so a man is twice accused of murder and
twice sentenced for the crime.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
A weary man who asks only to be allowed to
follow the woman he loved. I'll be back shortly.
Speaker 5 (48:22):
Take the child as take it out again. If you say,
my mind is yours, sin your heart.
Speaker 8 (48:39):
Your line when.
Speaker 5 (48:44):
Love is?
Speaker 2 (48:47):
How do you do?
Speaker 8 (48:48):
Sir?
Speaker 2 (48:48):
And my grandmother just died. I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 5 (48:51):
Meet missus mcnophin.
Speaker 8 (48:52):
How do you do?
Speaker 5 (48:54):
Did you know you have spinach on your teeth? That's wonderful.
This is mister Jackson, Nice to meet you.
Speaker 2 (48:59):
I who bought it? Play? Oh yes, mister play read.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
With reception lines.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
I'm the only places people don't listen.
Speaker 12 (49:05):
But when.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
A lot from the.
Speaker 12 (49:16):
Church of Jesus Christ, of whattter day Saints, the Mormons,
And there we have it, Charles Powell's joust with Fate.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
What difference did it make that he knew that Clint
had murdered Allison? They didn't believe him, and he was
too weary to try to make them believe. Our cast
included Larry Haynes, Anne Mitcham, Jackson Beck, Sidney Walker, and
Tom Keena. Entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown.
(50:04):
Now appease you of our next tale.
Speaker 5 (50:08):
I don't understand it.
Speaker 1 (50:10):
Tubb's bone dry, ma'am, hasn't been used, not tonight anyway.
Speaker 5 (50:15):
His clothes, how it's closed.
Speaker 7 (50:17):
He'd empty his suitcases and put his clothes in the
closets his his suitcases too.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
Just ladies clothes yours, ma'am. Yes see, look, look this
dream was no dream. Okay, okay, So maybe you imagine
that I didn't imagine anything. Do you imagine a husband?
Speaker 11 (50:45):
Do you imagine a month long honeymoon?
Speaker 5 (50:48):
Do you imagine a man in a chair with a
knife in his check?
