(02:40):
accounts submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Continental
Insurance Company Home Office, Hartford, Connecticut, following as an account
of expenses incurred during my investigation of the fatal pile matter.
There was something very funny about Ray Connolly's sudden invitation
to have dinner with him, much less cocktails. I'd been
(03:00):
at his office far too many times. I'd seen the
bottles of pills that he kept in his desk, watched
his secretary bring him a glass of milk at precisely
ten thirty am and exactly three point fifteen PM. Had
listened to the dull details of his ulcer free diet
more times than I can remember. So when Ray said cocktails, oh,
come on, dollars, stopped trying to build up a case
(03:21):
out of nothing. And yet, for reasons that will be
made clear later in this report, everything goes on expense accounts.
I dodn't want a dollar forty for a cab to
raise apartment. It was six thirty on the nose when
I pushed the doorbell. Oh, and I decided that if
he did have something bothering him, I'd let him get
around to it in his own sweet time. I wished
(03:44):
later that I had.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Johnny, Johnny, I'm glad to see you come in.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, how are you, Ray?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well, you know how it is?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Huh those ulcer who's been kicking up on you again? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
A little sit on, Johnny Senter, sure flis. Now what
would you like Martini?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Manhattan?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Got a plain old scotch and soda lying around.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I certainly have have it for you in a second.
Never touch it myself anymore?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Of course, do you mean you're not drinking with me?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Maybe I'll have a glass of moluth and let's see
time for me to take one of my pills.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Hey, Johnny, Thanks, But did it ever occur to you
Ray that if you'd stop worrying so much about that
gutty yours you might not have so much trouble with it? Johnny?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
It's you to say you never had an ulcer?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
No, sir, and I don't ever intend to.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Well, if you were in my end of the business.
There's something just happened that I want to tell you about.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Oh yeah, later.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Incidentally, let's sake we're having is the most beautiful thing
you ever saw? Well, come on, I'll show it to
you while I got a glass of mouth. Okay, I
guess my wife ordered some groceries sent over from Morris
Bain's market before she left. I told you she's away, Yes, left, Jes.
The steak was delivered last night, along.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
With some other things.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Eh, how about that? Hmm it looks like he could
cut that with a fork, prime beef.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Excuse me, I'll get my glass of milk.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Sure, Hey, how do you like your steak? By the way,
only one way? Blood rare?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Of course, I'll have to mine rather well done.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I'll just got the filly in half and it'll be
no problem at all.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Ray, What about this thing that happened in the office you.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Were going to tell me about later, Johnny Later?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Again? Looking back, I wished that i'd pressed the points
that I didn't. Instead, I had another drink, watched him
sip his glass of milk, listened to him complain some
more about his pet ulcer, and then finally we sat
down to dinner.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Here we are. Isn't that the most beautiful steak you
ever saw?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
No? Ray, didn't you hear me?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
What? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, oh here, I'm terribly well brother. You ought to
be That looks like a piece of shoe leather.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And you said blood rare, and I forgot all about it.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Ray, you are a dog.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You're sure you can't eat it this way.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Rather chew up an old boot. Hey, listen, something bugging
you now? What is it? Nothing, Johnny? Look God, I'll
go out and buy another one for you. Huh. I
lest you were sit here and get cold.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
No, no, Johnny, I'm terribly sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Go ahead, Ray tear into it. I'll go out in
the kitchen and see if I can find the makings
of a sandwich. I could have killed him over cooking
a perfectly good steak that way, but instead I made
myself a sandwich and stuck around because I knew that
sooner or later he'd tell me his real purpose in
having me come over, And later he did, at least
(06:46):
he started to. We had washed the dishes and then
gone back into the living room. I had settled now
with a third cup of coffee and a cigarette, and
he was sipping in another glass of milk. It's just
that I don't like being threatened, Johnny threaten e.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
But knows I have enough trouble keeping the salts around
the full of just the daily runner problems I have
to face at the office.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
What do you mean by you know?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
You know, people demanding more from their insurance than they deserve.
People filing claims when they aren't entitled, why the insurance
at all?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And then trying to.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Oh what.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Nothing, Johnny, I just.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'll be all right. You forget to take one of
your pills.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Right, No, but maybe I better tip another?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yes, me, you're taking too many of them. But what
was this talk about being threatened?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, Johnny, this fellow by the name of Oh, oh, no, Ray.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Johnny, say what's the matter?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
And it's hey in my stomach it's killing me.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Here, Let me get show the sofa that is quick?
Please here, Nah that medicine, anything to stop it? Johnny.
(08:05):
I grabbed a telephone and called Dr Rense, but because
of a traffic tie, was nearly half an hour before
he got there. Meantime, Ray lay on the sofa, getting
payler and paler until he was quite as a sheet.
The doctor, completely familiar with Ray's ulsa problem, did what
he caught me, but after forty forty five minutes, realized
things were getting beyond his control, so he called an ambulance.
Another half hour and yeah, by the time they got
(08:27):
him to the hospital. In spite of injections and oxygen
along the way, Ray Connelly was dead, Act two of Yours,

Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yes, mister Dollar, I knew that Connolly's outsid condition was serious.
I've been treating him for a couple of years, but
I certainly never bel this could happen.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
What it means is that he bled to death.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Is that it, doctor, has internal hemorrhage, but such intensity,
I don't understand it. And yet, well, let's face it, Dollar,
this sort of thing has happened before.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Has happened before? Yes, doctor, you may be right about that. Well,
of course I am, but not in the way you think.
I went back to Ray's apartment, let myself in with
a key I'd filched out of his pocket, then went
over every inch of the place and I came up
with nothing. Nothing, that is until I went into the kitchen.
There I saw for the second time the bag of
(10:36):
groceries that his wife had delivered from Bain's Market, from
which Ray had taken only one thing so far as
I knew, the steak he'd eaten that night. Yeah, and
he had eaten every bit of it. I dumped him
out on the table, made a list of him. Then
I noticed something else on the table. It was a
cheap gold plated cuff link with the initials x D
on it HM. Early the next morning, I talked with

necessary to make a complete examination of the stomach of

five cents for a cab to the office of Continental Insurance.

Ray's secretary had obviously been crying. I just can't believe it,
mister Dollars, I know, Gracy. Now listen. Did any of
the people who have come here to see him ever
threaten him?

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Well, lots of people have threatened lots of things when
they didn't feel their claims were met properly.

But he was the fairest, the most honest man.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
When, mister Dollars, somebody in here yesterday, Yes.

There was a man in here yesterday who was very
angry about something. I could hear him pounding the desk
in there, and swear was he I don't know. He
must have come back with mister Cammley after lunch, and
I didn't see him leave, but looked he lost to coupling.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Let me xd what, Gracie, this is the man I'm
looking for? Can you find me a policy with this
man's name on it?
Speaker 4 (14:22):

It turned out to be an old ramshackle rooming house
in a pretty lousy neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Sure, look for yourself, but I tell you he ain't
here anymore.
Speaker 1 (17:09):

Speaker 1 (17:16):
I can't say that I blame him once. Then have
you any idea where he might have gone?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
If I did?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
That's in the tops to get the radios?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Mee, The cops on won him for a lot more

Coplinks I with the initials x D on him.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I dare not tell us before as if you didn't
know it.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
That's with holding.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Evidence in an a murder case. Hey, look, that's another thing, dollard.
If you suspected murder, why didn't you call us in
instead of having a doctor order the autopsy? You're trying
to hide something?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 8 (17:54):
Are you? Anyway? We've been coming a city for you.
As if you didn't know, you got a little.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Explaining to do it.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
I look you, ay, listen, what did those initials X
days stand for?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Well, if you let me get a word in edge guise,
I might tell you. Well, the D stands for Donado,
the ex for Xavier Xavier. What kind of a name
is that? Xavier? If you want to say it that way, boy,
that's a rare. When you got his address, he just
left the place where he was living, so he's probably
a thousand miles away. But savior, ah, of course and
right unto my nose, why Johnny? Maybe I should have
(18:31):
told him more everything I knew, but I didn't want
to have to wait for the police or anybody else.
Ray had been a friend of mine, and to bring
his killer the justice was all I could about it.
As for that name Xavier, of course, I'd heard it
only a few hours before, and for some stupid reason,
it had never occurred to me that it began with
a letter X. I had a nine, a buck and
a half or another, texting this time to the yeah,
(18:52):
you guessed it. Excuse me? Please you will pardon me?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Will you please?
Speaker 9 (18:56):
Madam?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (18:57):
I gotta tell you you packed the vegetables on top.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Marris, A lot of marris. Come over here, mister, back
so sooner. I listened when I left you early this morning.
Just as I was leaving, I heard you call somebody
by the name of Xavier. Yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Mean that slop polk ad, that dumb stupid Is he
still here?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
What's his last name? His last name? What is his
last name? It's Sadie.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
How many times I gotta tell you when a customer
has got to complaint?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
This one asks, why no?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Say here, mister dollar, save here?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Xavier Janado looking for me, mister Xavier Ganado, Yeah, what
do you want? I just want to show you a
couple of cup links. Here are these yours?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (19:39):
Mine?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And they'll try to pull a gun me.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
I got no gun, mister.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I found one of these in Ray Connolly's office.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Sure, I got mad. I slammed bang on the desk
at him.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I found the other one at his apartment where you
delivered that steak to him. That's steak full of ground glass.
Where'd you get that steak? Wilson's Prime mark along the
way to his place. Then you put in the glass
and took it up to him.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
Yeah, that was pretty good, I tell you, from the cops.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You're expecting the cops. I don't know. But you didn't run,
You didn't leave time. Sure, because I'm smart.
Speaker 9 (20:15):
You leave time, they know you've done it, they chase you,
they catch you.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Honest.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
I didn't know it was going to kill him, you
know now. But I had to get even, you know,
because you wouldn't give me that insurance. Because the old
man killed himself, so that my grandpapa, his old man,
just because they didn't get something they want.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You mean, they all committed suicide, sure, because.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
It was all you know, off in the head. But
not me, you understand, because I'm smart. Somebody does something
against me like that insurance, I get even with him,
you understand, I don't go kill myself.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I get even with him.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
And you think they're gonna find out? No, you think
they're ever going to catch me? What do you think? Oh?
You did, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (21:10):
Gee, I guess you're even smarter than I am.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Mister. Yeah, come on, Savior in prison. I doubt it now,
with a family history like that, but there are institutions
for his kind. I'm sure he'll spend the rest of

A good college education has a lot to do with
your future. Whether you're a student, a parent, a college alumna, say,
prospective employer, or just an average citizen, you have a
stake in the future health of our colleges. The future
security and well being of our nation depends on them.
Now is the time to help by contributing to the
college of your choice. Just as our elementary and high
(22:26):
schools have become overcrowded, so now our colleges are threatened
by the increased school population. Funds must be forthcoming now
to expand college facilities and hire more professors. Otherwise our
colleges will be unable to handle the millions of future
students seeking entrance. If we're to improve our standard of
living and maintain our free way of life, we must

have greater college facilities, and have them now. For more information,

(02:40):
accounts submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Continental
Insurance Company Home Office, Hartford, Connecticut, following as an account
of expenses incurred during my investigation of the fatal pile matter.
There was something very funny about Ray Connolly's sudden invitation
to have dinner with him, much less cocktails. I'd been
(03:00):
at his office far too many times. I'd seen the
bottles of pills that he kept in his desk, watched
his secretary bring him a glass of milk at precisely
ten thirty am and exactly three point fifteen PM. Had
listened to the dull details of his ulcer free diet
more times than I can remember. So when Ray said cocktails, oh,
come on, dollars, stopped trying to build up a case
(03:21):
out of nothing. And yet, for reasons that will be
made clear later in this report, everything goes on expense accounts.
I dodn't want a dollar forty for a cab to
raise apartment. It was six thirty on the nose when
I pushed the doorbell. Oh, and I decided that if
he did have something bothering him, I'd let him get
around to it in his own sweet time. I wished
(03:44):
later that I had.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Johnny, Johnny, I'm glad to see you come in.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, how are you, Ray?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well, you know how it is?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Huh those ulcer who's been kicking up on you again? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
A little sit on, Johnny Senter, sure flis. Now what
would you like Martini?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Manhattan?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Got a plain old scotch and soda lying around.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I certainly have have it for you in a second.
Never touch it myself anymore?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Of course, do you mean you're not drinking with me?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Maybe I'll have a glass of moluth and let's see
time for me to take one of my pills.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Hey, Johnny, Thanks, But did it ever occur to you
Ray that if you'd stop worrying so much about that
gutty yours you might not have so much trouble with it? Johnny?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
It's you to say you never had an ulcer?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
No, sir, and I don't ever intend to.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Well, if you were in my end of the business.
There's something just happened that I want to tell you about.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Oh yeah, later.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Incidentally, let's sake we're having is the most beautiful thing
you ever saw? Well, come on, I'll show it to
you while I got a glass of mouth. Okay, I
guess my wife ordered some groceries sent over from Morris
Bain's market before she left. I told you she's away, Yes, left, Jes.
The steak was delivered last night, along.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
With some other things.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Eh, how about that? Hmm it looks like he could
cut that with a fork, prime beef.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Excuse me, I'll get my glass of milk.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Sure, Hey, how do you like your steak? By the way,
only one way? Blood rare?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Of course, I'll have to mine rather well done.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I'll just got the filly in half and it'll be
no problem at all.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Ray, What about this thing that happened in the office you.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Were going to tell me about later, Johnny Later?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Again? Looking back, I wished that i'd pressed the points
that I didn't. Instead, I had another drink, watched him
sip his glass of milk, listened to him complain some
more about his pet ulcer, and then finally we sat
down to dinner.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Here we are. Isn't that the most beautiful steak you
ever saw?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
No? Ray, didn't you hear me?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
What? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, oh here, I'm terribly well brother. You ought to
be That looks like a piece of shoe leather.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And you said blood rare, and I forgot all about it.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Ray, you are a dog.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You're sure you can't eat it this way.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Rather chew up an old boot. Hey, listen, something bugging
you now? What is it? Nothing, Johnny? Look God, I'll
go out and buy another one for you. Huh. I
lest you were sit here and get cold.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
No, no, Johnny, I'm terribly sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Go ahead, Ray tear into it. I'll go out in
the kitchen and see if I can find the makings
of a sandwich. I could have killed him over cooking
a perfectly good steak that way, but instead I made
myself a sandwich and stuck around because I knew that
sooner or later he'd tell me his real purpose in
having me come over, And later he did, at least
(06:46):
he started to. We had washed the dishes and then
gone back into the living room. I had settled now
with a third cup of coffee and a cigarette, and
he was sipping in another glass of milk. It's just
that I don't like being threatened, Johnny threaten e.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
But knows I have enough trouble keeping the salts around
the full of just the daily runner problems I have
to face at the office.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
What do you mean by you know?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
You know, people demanding more from their insurance than they deserve.
People filing claims when they aren't entitled, why the insurance
at all?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And then trying to.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Oh what.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Nothing, Johnny, I just.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'll be all right. You forget to take one of
your pills.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Right, No, but maybe I better tip another?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yes, me, you're taking too many of them. But what
was this talk about being threatened?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, Johnny, this fellow by the name of Oh, oh, no, Ray.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Johnny, say what's the matter?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
And it's hey in my stomach it's killing me.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Here, Let me get show the sofa that is quick?
Please here, Nah that medicine, anything to stop it? Johnny.
(08:05):
I grabbed a telephone and called Dr Rense, but because
of a traffic tie, was nearly half an hour before
he got there. Meantime, Ray lay on the sofa, getting
payler and paler until he was quite as a sheet.
The doctor, completely familiar with Ray's ulsa problem, did what
he caught me, but after forty forty five minutes, realized
things were getting beyond his control, so he called an ambulance.
Another half hour and yeah, by the time they got
(08:27):
him to the hospital. In spite of injections and oxygen

Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yes, mister Dollar, I knew that Connolly's outsid condition was serious.
I've been treating him for a couple of years, but
I certainly never bel this could happen.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
What it means is that he bled to death.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Is that it, doctor, has internal hemorrhage, but such intensity,
I don't understand it. And yet, well, let's face it, Dollar,
this sort of thing has happened before.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Has happened before? Yes, doctor, you may be right about that. Well,
of course I am, but not in the way you think.
I went back to Ray's apartment, let myself in with
a key I'd filched out of his pocket, then went
over every inch of the place and I came up
with nothing. Nothing, that is until I went into the kitchen.
There I saw for the second time the bag of
(10:36):
groceries that his wife had delivered from Bain's Market, from
which Ray had taken only one thing so far as
I knew, the steak he'd eaten that night. Yeah, and
he had eaten every bit of it. I dumped him
out on the table, made a list of him. Then
I noticed something else on the table. It was a
cheap gold plated cuff link with the initials x D
on it HM. Early the next morning, I talked with

necessary to make a complete examination of the stomach of
the now deceased Ray Connolly. It had him four eighty
five cents for a cab to the office of Continental Insurance.
(13:38):
Ray's secretary had obviously been crying. I just can't believe it,
mister Dollars, I know, Gracy. Now listen. Did any of
the people who have come here to see him ever
threaten him?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Threaten?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That's right?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Well, lots of people have threatened lots of things when
they didn't feel their claims were met properly.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
But he was the fairest, the most honest man.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
When, mister Dollars, somebody in here yesterday, Yes.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
There was a man in here yesterday who was very
angry about something. I could hear him pounding the desk
in there, and swear was he I don't know. He
must have come back with mister Cammley after lunch, and
I didn't see him leave, but looked he lost to coupling.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Let me xd what, Gracie, this is the man I'm
looking for? Can you find me a policy with this
man's name on it?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Just from these initials, with all the policies on fire.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Probably a beneficiary whose claim was settled or refused.

kill three men. That's why Ray, with his also condition,
(16:03):
had gone so fast while he was with you. Johnny,
the police would like very much to talk to you. Well,
certainly they don't think I did it, of course, not
race too. Yeah. Well, but after all, you were with
him at the time when he ate that pill. Okay, okay, Doc,
I'll get in touch with him. I HadAM six ten
cents for another call to Ray secretary at Continental Insurance.

Yeah, Donado couldn't collect. Yes, I mean no, he couldn't, So, Gracy,
you're at doll HadAM seven two bucks and a half
for taxi to the address far out on Sunset Avenue.
It turned out to be an old ramshackle rooming house
in a pretty lousy neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Sure, look for yourself, but I tell you he ain't
here anymore.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
When did you leave yesterday?
Speaker 5 (17:10):

Bag and baggage?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
There you are see for yourself. Now, don't tell me
he's still living here.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I can't say that I blame him once. Then have
you any idea where he might have gone?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
If I did?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
That's in the tops to get the radios?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Mee, The cops on won him for a lot more
than your rent, lady, Yeah, what's more than that? Murder?
Dam ate? Another phone call for police headquarters. I talked
with Sergeant Jimmy Maxwell in homicide only. I listened more
than I talked.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
Coplinks I with the initials x D on him.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I dare not tell us before as if you didn't
know it.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
That's with holding.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Evidence in an a murder case. Hey, look, that's another thing, dollard.
If you suspected murder, why didn't you call us in
instead of having a doctor order the autopsy? You're trying
to hide something?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 8 (17:54):
Are you? Anyway? We've been coming a city for you.
As if you didn't know, you got a little.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Explaining to do it.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
I look you, ay, listen, what did those initials X
days stand for?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Well, if you let me get a word in edge guise,
I might tell you. Well, the D stands for Donado,
the ex for Xavier Xavier. What kind of a name
is that? Xavier? If you want to say it that way, boy,
that's a rare. When you got his address, he just
left the place where he was living, so he's probably
a thousand miles away. But savior, ah, of course and
right unto my nose, why Johnny? Maybe I should have
(18:31):
told him more everything I knew, but I didn't want
to have to wait for the police or anybody else.
Ray had been a friend of mine, and to bring
his killer the justice was all I could about it.
As for that name Xavier, of course, I'd heard it
only a few hours before, and for some stupid reason,
it had never occurred to me that it began with
a letter X. I had a nine, a buck and
a half or another, texting this time to the yeah,
(18:52):
you guessed it. Excuse me? Please you will pardon me?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Will you please?
Speaker 9 (18:56):
Madam?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (18:57):
I gotta tell you you packed the vegetables on top.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Marris, A lot of marris. Come over here, mister, back
so sooner. I listened when I left you early this morning.
Just as I was leaving, I heard you call somebody
by the name of Xavier. Yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Mean that slop polk ad, that dumb stupid Is he
still here?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
What's his last name? His last name? What is his
last name? It's Sadie.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
How many times I gotta tell you when a customer
has got to complaint?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
This one asks, why no?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Say here, mister dollar, save here?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Xavier Janado looking for me, mister Xavier Ganado, Yeah, what
do you want? I just want to show you a
couple of cup links. Here are these yours?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (19:39):
Mine?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And they'll try to pull a gun me.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
I got no gun, mister.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I found one of these in Ray Connolly's office.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Sure, I got mad. I slammed bang on the desk
at him.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I found the other one at his apartment where you
delivered that steak to him. That's steak full of ground glass.
Where'd you get that steak? Wilson's Prime mark along the
way to his place. Then you put in the glass
and took it up to him.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
Yeah, that was pretty good, I tell you, from the cops.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You're expecting the cops. I don't know. But you didn't run,
You didn't leave time. Sure, because I'm smart.
Speaker 9 (20:15):
You leave time, they know you've done it, they chase you,
they catch you.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Honest.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
I didn't know it was going to kill him, you
know now. But I had to get even, you know,
because you wouldn't give me that insurance. Because the old
man killed himself, so that my grandpapa, his old man,
just because they didn't get something they want.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You mean, they all committed suicide, sure, because.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
It was all you know, off in the head. But
not me, you understand, because I'm smart. Somebody does something
against me like that insurance, I get even with him,
you understand, I don't go kill myself.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
