Isn't that the finest cheese food you ever put in
your mouth? That rich yet mild cheddar cheese flavor is good,
really good eating. You see, Velvida is made by craft
and that's something pretty important to remember, because you and
I know the Craft name on cheese and cheese foods
means the very finest you can buy. So remember this.

There's no other cheese food like Crafts. Pasteurized processed cheese
food velvida, because.

up so easy.

Don't try to get the gun.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I'm just trying to teach Penny not to play with guns.
The bullet went into that chair. No great damage on now, Penny,
you better get out of here. You'll be sorry about this.

He threw her out of the apartment. Well, I'm afraid

make any trouble for the girl. That's why I came
to you.

to her. This is the sort of case I loved.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, if it was easy, I wouldn't I wouldn't need
the falcon.
Speaker 1 (08:48):

but he he may be angry about my hiring you.
Speaker 3 (08:54):

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Oh, if you can't give me anything more to go on,
I thought you were supposed to be such a good detective.
Speaker 1 (09:01):

Speaker 1 (09:05):
With what you've given me.
Speaker 3 (09:06):

Speaker 2 (09:09):

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Mister Wearing?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Come on, this is that hurly he friends? Well, now
Mike won his way, all right, and you know. I'll
bet you mothers would certainly like to win your way
too when it comes to getting your family to eat
those green vegetables that are so good for them. And
(09:43):
you can just glamorize those vegetables o little by melting
delicious velveta crass famous past durized processed cheese food for
a smooth, golden cheese sauce to pour over them. And
it's such an easy sauce to make. All you do
is melt a half pound of velveta in the top
of your double boider. There's no need to cut it
in little pieces, because velveta melts easily and smoothly without
(10:05):
any lumps at all. Then simply stir in a quarter
cup of milk season and there you have a perfectly
wonderful cheese sauce that'll add Velveta's fine, rich yet mild
cheddar cheese flavor to cauliflour or spinach or broccoli. Velvita
makes them taste better than ever, and you'll be giving
your family extra nourishment.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
This way too, Because velvita is so rich.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
In important food values from milk, even the smallest youngsters
can enjoy their vegetables a lah velvita, because velvita.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Is digestible as milk itself. So mother, make it your
handy helper.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Get velvite in the economical two pound loaf so you'll
have plenty for coal, snacks and sandwiches too. Just be
sure you get genuine Velveta. It's the pasteurized processed cheese
food of top quality, made only by craft. Now back

Speaker 1 (18:43):
And you can prove you paid him.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah. Here here's a received note. Mm yeah, just what
are you trying to prove? I don't know what I'm
trying to prove, but it looks like I have proved
a certain character named Ballet that is going to have
to improve his singing looks like his way off key.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
This is ed Hurligie again. Friends.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well, now, maybe Mike isn't quite sure what he's trying
to prove, but I'm sure of what I'm trying to prove.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And what's more, I can do it with your help.
All you have to do is this.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Make yourself a big, hearty sandwich of your favorite kind
of bread, spread with a little Kraft mayonnaise and filled
with a good thick slice of Velveta Craft's delicious pasteurized
processed cheese food. Now take a bite and see for
yourself if what I'm trying to prove isn't true That
Velveta is especially good tasting with a fine, rich, yet
(19:39):
mild cheddar cheese flavor. M And Velvita is good for
you too, because it's so rich in important food values
from milk. These good Velveta sandwiches are perfect for everyone,
even the youngest children, any time of day, because velvete
is digestible as milk itself. So make Velveta your handy
helper for delicious snacks and sandwiches and for fine hot
(20:02):
dishes to get genuine Beldeta made by craft No Back
to the Adventures of the Falcon. It's twenty minutes since
Ballard's lead led Mike no Place. Now the Falcon has
dropped in on Sergeant Corbett to swamp information, and Corbett
(20:25):
seems to be enjoying Mike's report of his interview with
my ha. So you went off half cock wearing a
all right, all right before you break a rib laughing.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I still think it's mera. Where's this motive? I be
paid off Sheffield's.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't know, but it must have been the murder
who shot at me, and that couldn't have been either
of the girls. Why not, Well, you were questioning, missus Sheffield.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
What time were you shot at? Wearing my quarter of
the six. I left the Chaffield woman a little laugh
to five.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Uh, but at least it couldn't have been magnology of blossom.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
She's in the hospital. I have nos for are you wearing?
Don't tell me a penny? He's been released at five?
Wasn't that just peachy? And then there's Ballad in himself.
He'll tell me something about Ballad.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Did you learn any more about him.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
From mister Sheffield? Yeah, when you said you were gonna
say him, she cracked. Admit her. He's been blackmailing her,
And I.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Thought so Glad, I was right about something.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
What did he have on her? Scandal? In her past?
She didn't want Sheffield and all bonnet? Oh, the little
guy likes sweat money. Hey, I want a matter.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
The tip off could have been to protect his pickings.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Why we we better go see Ballad. I have an idea.
You can give us the answers we're looking for.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, yeah, but we better hurry because we want Ballad
to talk. And they say dead men don't.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Ah, and we are. Yeah you know what? Wait, wait
a minute, don't get out of the car right now.
Look Ballad just coming out.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Uh h.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
If he doesn't notice us, maybe we can follow him.
He didn't say us. I'll let him get a little
lead and then i'll fu right, you better start your motor.
He's healing a taxi. Yeah, I don't know whay he's going.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Now there's one way to find out, you know, I
wanna follow to cause pack of all the drivers.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
You see that guy cut out right in front of
me to a police car.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yet, Uh, I'll never mind him. The taxi just turned
the next corner.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
We better get going.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, Hey, the guy who cut in front of you
is telling in the corner too.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
See following pilot too, quid Vey makes a nice parade,
And look behind us wearing what what for?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I just wonder if anybody's following us.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
They're already in the elevator. I hope you haven't lost them.
And they came into this building. Where wou they be going?
Except up to see missus Sheffield?
Speaker 2 (22:51):
But that was Mara following Ballad. I recognize him when
get out of the car. Why just look at the
elevator indicator basement. Yeah, that's not sheffields unless she's moved
since this afternoon pushed the button.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I wonder what they're doing down there. It's not a
Maypole dance, you can bet. I'm alright. They're slugging it out.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Why Matra wants to find out what Ballad knows you?
We are get in Okay, and I still don't see
how you figure it, Wearing. Ballad knows about Missus Sheffield's past,
But what's that got to do with Myra?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Nothing? Uh, it's clearer all the time, but we haven't
time to discuss it now here we are where they
are alright, Mara, Then and I'll let him go. Where
did you have that gun? And then we'll talk. Go on,
drop it? Do you wanna see if I'm only kidding?
Where this one? Okay? They way take it out, Wearing.
(23:45):
Now it's going on here.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
He was trying to kill guy's line. I was trying
to make him talk about what the paper say. Sheffield
was murdered. Warring was asking me about it. Ballat must
have figured me and I wanted to know why he
put a cut on my back.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
He made me come down here in the place.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
We know that, Ballad, and there are a couple of
other things we know. But you were blackmailing missus Sheffield,
for instance. You can't prove that, and you forget that.
Another Sheffield is that she's willing to talk. And we
can certainly prove you were at the apartment or there
around the time of the murder, because I saw you.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I was there after the murder.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Maybe anywhay you better go along with Sergeant Corba. I waited,
wait a minute, and I didn't kill Sheffield. I didn't
say you did, but you know who didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
When you talk, I I come on, Mary, come back here,
and I sit. Come back here.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
You're not going anywhere except with Corba two cause.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Mary, you're the murderer.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I'm sorry I spoil the little Joe's Corbett was Marra
after all?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Present your arm ever get tired wearing? What? Adding yourself
on the back or I'd just like to give credit
to credit the zoo. You weren't so sure it was
marry yourself when you saw an aunt receipt and I
admitted through me for a while, but I bounced back.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
MM.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It's cute of marraor Sheffield once is my name? So
Marra is grape.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
She said, I can't get to him, gets to reach
Saint Port and plugs Sheffield and takes back the money.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
He figured it was safe enough because he read in
the paper about the Layton girl fresding Chefield, and he
condored on her taking the rep. He might have gotten
away with the two ballat hadn't quared the deal, and
in fact, I still don't think you solve this one.
Wearing was simply lucky that by following Ballard we happened
to stumble on Marra.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's what I was calling on again.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, sweetheart, See I knew that Ballad had tipped off
the person shot at me.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I did you know that?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Because the person was waiting for me at Freddy's Bar.
That meant he had to know where I'd be going,
and Ballot was the only one on you. Couldn't it
have been Ballad himself who was waiting now, because I
went straight to Freddy's from Ballots and my driver drove fast,
Ballot would.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Never have beaten me there a ride. It wasn't Ballid, No,
but it was.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Somebody who had been tipped off by Ballot. At first
I thought it was somebody working with him, but when
you confirmed my suspicions about him being a blackmailer, I
changed my idea. He fagured Ballard was following a pattern
and blackmailing again.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
He was out the scene at the time of the murder.
It was perfectly possible for him, who have seen the
murderer leave of your pardon me. So I figured it
was blackmail, and he tipped the murder that I knew
too much of the murder.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Who get rid of me. He didn't want men being
the killer and spoiling his chance for blackmail. But Ballad
is the one who puts you on the Mara in
the first plane.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Oh, I know he could rattle when I was accusing
him and try to get out from under, but after
I left, he couldn't see that nice opportunity for black
mayle going out the window.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I say, that's all it was to it.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Once I realized Ballad was up for the old game
of blackmail and you. All we had to do was
follow it, and sooner or later we'd crossed paths with
the murderer. Yeah, wearing in all adds up, Except couldn't
Mara have been telling the truth when he said all
he was trying to do was find out why Ballad
sit you on him?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
How did he know Ballad was the one who steered
me to him. No, Corvett, a marror named Ballad. He
put his head in the noose. He got the wrong
matter for wearing in this state. It's not the nose,
it's the electric champ and that case hanging.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Around for good night, Corvitt. This is Mike Wearing friends.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Our Falkrom programs bring you stories of the detection and
prevention of crime. And right now I'd like to say another.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Word or two about preventing crime. You can help.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You know you needn't give money, Just give your sincere
support to the Boys Clubs of America.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
These clubs build.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Good citizens with strong, healthy bodies and minds, Boys who
are completely honest, who respect property and individual rights, and
who realize that America is a land of opportunity if
you're willing to learn and work and try hard. These
non sectarian, non profit boys clubs are operated by groups
of public spirited adults so that boys from eight to
twenty can enjoy the right kind of recreation and companionship
(27:42):
in their own clubhouses. If you and your neighbors would
like to establish a boy's club in your community, get
in touch with the Boys' Clubs of America for help.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Think about it, won't you?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Thanks a lot?

The Case of the Carved Hem.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
The Case of the Carved Hem, that's the title of
next week's Adventure of the Falcon. When Mike Waring learns

They'll be sure to listen at the same time next
week to one other exciting adventure of the Falcon, brought
to you by the Kraft Fools Company. The Adventures of
the Falcon are based on the famous character created by
Drexel Drake, produced by Bernard L. Schubert, written today by
Jerome Epstein, and directed by Richard Lewis. Music was by
arlow Les. Damon was starred as the Falcon, with Ken

case of the worried wife. Before the Falcon saws today's case,
I have a question for you.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Have you tried Belvida lately?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Isn't that the finest cheese food you ever put in
your mouth? That rich yet mild cheddar cheese flavor is good,
really good eating. You see, Velvida is made by craft
and that's something pretty important to remember, because you and
I know the Craft name on cheese and cheese foods
means the very finest you can buy. So remember this.
(01:19):
There's no other cheese food like Crafts. Pasteurized processed cheese
food velvida, because.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Craft, and only craft makes belvida.
Speaker 2 (01:35):

and takes out a small pistol, which she closes the
bag and flusts her right hand in with the pistol
(01:55):

Or? Uh girl? I knew in Florida.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I I don't wanna say her.
Speaker 4 (03:08):

if she's in the living room.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh all right, might as well get it over with
now you wait here, I'll get rid of her.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Penny, What are you doing here? Why?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Arnold?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Is that any way to greet me? After I followed
you all the way from Miami?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I wrote you it's all over.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I figured as much when I saw in the paper
you got married.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
That's why I came up. What do you hoop? Again?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The one thing I wanted to see you?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
She's pretty? Oh? Thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I've never forgiven you if you turned me down for
a horse face.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, she's pretty and I'm in love with her.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
There's nothing more for you than me. So why don't
you be a good girl and just run along?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Be sensible?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
You call it sensible to give up the man I
love to somebody else. You don't love me, that's right, Honold,
I don't, but I did, so I'm not giving you
up so easy.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
There's nothing you can do. Isn't there, little fool? Be kept.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
She's not gonna have you, Honold.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I'm gonna kill you, and then I'm gonna kill myself.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Don't be ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I'll give me that back.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Don't try to get the gun.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I'm just trying to teach Penny not to play with guns.
The bullet went into that chair. No great damage on now, Penny,
you better get out of here. You'll be sorry about this.
I am sorry. I thought you had better sense.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Oh good night, well coffee, darling, don't thanks.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Arnold me. I couldn't get that girl out of my
mind all night.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
No, stop worrying about her.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
But suppose she comes back.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
She won't come back.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You can't be sure. Maybe we better call the police.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Why.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I don't wanna make trouble for him?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh you don't still. I mean, it's it's all over.
You're sure it is?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
No, but Heaven say Godling, that'll be ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
She must have cared no a lot to follow you
all the way here.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes, I suppose she did.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
You must have uh done something to make her can Will.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You stop worrying about it? It's all over.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I hope you're right.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I'll look if there was any question about it, last
night certainly settled it. You don't think I could be
interested in her after that?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I hope not. You sure she won't come back.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yes, I'm sure she worked herself up to a pitch
When nothing came of it, she was bound.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
To cool off.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Maybe, but I'd feel happy if you tell the.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Police, Darling. Will you answer one question? What are you
afraid that if she comes back to try to kill
me again? Or are you afraid that this time she won't? Hello? Ma, rauh?

Don't you have an office?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Well? If I had an office, i'd have to have
a beautiful blonde secretary. If I had a beautiful blonde secretary,
I'd have.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Trouble keeping my mind on my work.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And if I didn't keep my mind on my work,
I'd lose business. Then I wouldn't be able to pay
the rent, so I'd lose the office. So I'd just
saved myself the trouble.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
H come in.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Thank you. Your name Liza's Chaffield.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
My husband, Arnold spent December in Florida.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You didn't go with him, but we.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Weren't married then. In fact, we didn't even know.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
We were going to be m But while he was there,
he started going with a girl, and I guess it
was pretty serious. Last night she showed up in New
York and she tried to kill Arnold tried to Donald
got the gun away from her, and then.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
He threw her out of the apartment. Well, I'm afraid
she may come back. Yeah, that's my husband to notify
the police, but he refused. He says he doesn't wanna
make any trouble for the girl. That's why I came
to you.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
What do you want me to do?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well? I thought, if you.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Could find the girl and.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Talk to her, and what do you want me to
say to her?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I don't know, find out what she's planning to do.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Where's she staying? I don't know, Well, what's her.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Name, Penny something? I don't know her last name.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
You don't know her name, You don't know where she's staying.
You don't know exactly what you want me to say
to her. This is the sort of case I loved.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, if it was easy, I wouldn't I wouldn't need
the falcon.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I think i'd better have a talk with your husband.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
No, he can fill in some of the details for her,
but he he may be angry about my hiring you.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I don't want him to know.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Oh, if you can't give me anything more to go on,
I thought you were supposed to be such a good detective.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Well I won't argue that point.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
But even Sherlock Holmes wouldn't guarantee a quick results.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
With what you've given me.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, do the best you can.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
What happens if Penny catches up with your husband while
I'm still looking for him, She'd kill him, wouldn't she.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Well, then, Angel, do I go see your husband?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But don't I? You win?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Mister Wearing?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Come on, this is that hurly he friends? Well, now
Mike won his way, all right, and you know. I'll
bet you mothers would certainly like to win your way
too when it comes to getting your family to eat
those green vegetables that are so good for them. And
(09:43):
you can just glamorize those vegetables o little by melting
delicious velveta crass famous past durized processed cheese food for
a smooth, golden cheese sauce to pour over them. And
it's such an easy sauce to make. All you do
is melt a half pound of velveta in the top
of your double boider. There's no need to cut it
in little pieces, because velveta melts easily and smoothly without
(10:05):
any lumps at all. Then simply stir in a quarter
cup of milk season and there you have a perfectly
wonderful cheese sauce that'll add Velveta's fine, rich yet mild
cheddar cheese flavor to cauliflour or spinach or broccoli. Velvita
makes them taste better than ever, and you'll be giving
your family extra nourishment.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
This way too, Because velvita is so rich.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
In important food values from milk, even the smallest youngsters
can enjoy their vegetables a lah velvita, because velvita.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Is digestible as milk itself. So mother, make it your
handy helper.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Get velvite in the economical two pound loaf so you'll
have plenty for coal, snacks and sandwiches too. Just be
sure you get genuine Velveta. It's the pasteurized processed cheese
food of top quality, made only by craft. Now back

Speaker 2 (14:20):
No that meant she got another gun. Why didn't she
shoot herself instead of jumping?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Maybe she counted on the awning saving.
Speaker 1 (14:25):

She must have killed him? Who else would have done it?

Speaker 2 (14:40):
A character who was very determined to see Missus Sheffield
a day?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Ah Na tell us what they wanted?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Missus Sheffey has nothing to do with the murder cause.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You let us decides that was it blackmail?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
What makes you think that?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
No, it certainly wasn't a friendly visit, and you said
you didn't have anything for him.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
What would he be expecting from you?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Well, it doesn't matter. I wish you'd boo leave.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That, mkay If you won't tell me, I know somebody else.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Who may who ballad? Oh it's Eliza's friend? Uh? Hello Ballan?
What do you want with me? What you wanted with Liza?
(15:24):
Did she tell you?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I think I came here because your company is so charming.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I don't know why you came here.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Who are you anyway?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Mike Wearing? Oh? The folk, and that's right? It lies
to hire you? Why to find out a few things?
Not about me? She knows about me?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
She doesn't know if you are coming or going and
we met you with the door today, and what difference
does it me? Oh, if you really don't know, it
doesn't make any I look well, and you're gonna tell
me what you wanted. You're gonna get out of here alright, ballad,
What did you wanna see Sheffield about? I didn't wanna
see Sheffield. I didn't see or somebody did with a gun.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Oh oh, so that's it. That's it. Well it wasn't me.
You gotta believe that I do.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
But you struck me as a sort of character who
sticks his nose into things. So if you really want
to clear yourself, here's a chance to put them out
on somebody else for the honor. Hey, yeahs, have you
tried marraor Who's mirror?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Joe? Marra? He borrowed a mid fool from Sheffield to
open a pool hall. It folded.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I was thinking what if Sheffield wanted his money and
Marreck couldn't pay.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It's the thoughts Where do I find Mara?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Well you might find him at Pretty's Bar on forty
thirty speed only Please don't tell him I tipped you now.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I won't breathe the word I hope.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Not, because if you do, I could stop breathing for keeps.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It is the next block. Yeah, I see it. We've
made pretty quick time. I haven't made any better time.
You'll be doing time? No, I'm fast, but I'm careful.
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Now, don't put on your flag. If my man isn't
in there, I'll be right out. Okay, but what if
for years in there?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Anyway, it may not take too long, right, he missed
the looker?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
What's that? What's that?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
You?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
All right? Yeah? When you shot it, I dropped. Yeah.
Her shots came from that alley.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
You get back there, maybe more. I'll go see do
you see anyone?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Oh, the alley's empty. You get a look at who
fired those shots? Now, whoever it was, were standing close
to the building in the alley.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Well, I saw was the hand with.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
The gun, and it'd come around the edge of the building,
and I hollowed. Could you tell him it was a
man or a woman? And I wouldn't know, Like I say,
all I saw, I know the.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Hand of a gun.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
And I hope whoever it was thinks he got me,
and I anxious to have him try try again.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Oh you Joe marrow Man. Uh worring. He seems surprised
to see me.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
What's the matter to the guy was lying in a
gutter with a couple.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Of slugs in me And I know what you're charging
you about.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I have your description, maybe you'll get mine. I don't,
and I hope not for your sake. How come you
know my name? And everybody knows the falk And well,
I'm naturally a very modest guy. But even I can't
help thinking there are a couple of people who don't
know me. Well I'm not one of 'em, alright, s.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
But how did you know I was looking for you?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I didn't. I asked for you at Freddy's Bar. They
told me you left there ten minutes before I got there.
So I wanted to get cleaned up, so I wanted
to have dinner. Get's crime that someone tip you while
I was coming? What makes you think you'd start me rolling?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I know about you in Sheffield? Uh? What about me
in Sheffield? You're in hawk to him?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
You got your tenses wrong, wearing I was.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
In hock to him? Oh you paid him off? That's right?
When today? Would it have been this afternoon?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Around three thirty it would have been this morning around ten.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And you can prove you paid him.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah. Here here's a received note. Mm yeah, just what
are you trying to prove? I don't know what I'm
trying to prove, but it looks like I have proved
a certain character named Ballet that is going to have
to improve his singing looks like his way off key.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
This is ed Hurligie again. Friends.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well, now, maybe Mike isn't quite sure what he's trying
to prove, but I'm sure of what I'm trying to prove.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And what's more, I can do it with your help.
All you have to do is this.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Make yourself a big, hearty sandwich of your favorite kind
of bread, spread with a little Kraft mayonnaise and filled
with a good thick slice of Velveta Craft's delicious pasteurized
processed cheese food. Now take a bite and see for
yourself if what I'm trying to prove isn't true That
Velveta is especially good tasting with a fine, rich, yet
(19:39):
mild cheddar cheese flavor. M And Velvita is good for
you too, because it's so rich in important food values
from milk. These good Velveta sandwiches are perfect for everyone,
even the youngest children, any time of day, because velvete
is digestible as milk itself. So make Velveta your handy
helper for delicious snacks and sandwiches and for fine hot
(20:02):
dishes to get genuine Beldeta made by craft No Back
to the Adventures of the Falcon. It's twenty minutes since
Ballard's lead led Mike no Place. Now the Falcon has
dropped in on Sergeant Corbett to swamp information, and Corbett
(20:25):
seems to be enjoying Mike's report of his interview with
my ha. So you went off half cock wearing a
all right, all right before you break a rib laughing.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I still think it's mera. Where's this motive? I be
paid off Sheffield's.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't know, but it must have been the murder
who shot at me, and that couldn't have been either
of the girls. Why not, Well, you were questioning, missus Sheffield.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
What time were you shot at? Wearing my quarter of
the six. I left the Chaffield woman a little laugh
to five.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Uh, but at least it couldn't have been magnology of blossom.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
She's in the hospital. I have nos for are you wearing?
Don't tell me a penny? He's been released at five?
Wasn't that just peachy? And then there's Ballad in himself.
He'll tell me something about Ballad.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Did you learn any more about him.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
From mister Sheffield? Yeah, when you said you were gonna
say him, she cracked. Admit her. He's been blackmailing her,
And I.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Thought so Glad, I was right about something.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
What did he have on her? Scandal? In her past?
She didn't want Sheffield and all bonnet? Oh, the little
guy likes sweat money. Hey, I want a matter.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
The tip off could have been to protect his pickings.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Why we we better go see Ballad. I have an idea.
You can give us the answers we're looking for.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, yeah, but we better hurry because we want Ballad
to talk. And they say dead men don't.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Ah, and we are. Yeah you know what? Wait, wait
a minute, don't get out of the car right now.
Look Ballad just coming out.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Uh h.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
If he doesn't notice us, maybe we can follow him.
He didn't say us. I'll let him get a little
lead and then i'll fu right, you better start your motor.
He's healing a taxi. Yeah, I don't know whay he's going.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Now there's one way to find out, you know, I
wanna follow to cause pack of all the drivers.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
You see that guy cut out right in front of
me to a police car.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yet, Uh, I'll never mind him. The taxi just turned
the next corner.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
We better get going.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Yeah, Hey, the guy who cut in front of you
is telling in the corner too.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
See following pilot too, quid Vey makes a nice parade,
And look behind us wearing what what for?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I just wonder if anybody's following us.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
They're already in the elevator. I hope you haven't lost them.
And they came into this building. Where wou they be going?
Except up to see missus Sheffield?
Speaker 2 (22:51):
But that was Mara following Ballad. I recognize him when
get out of the car. Why just look at the
elevator indicator basement. Yeah, that's not sheffields unless she's moved
since this afternoon pushed the button.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I wonder what they're doing down there. It's not a
Maypole dance, you can bet. I'm alright. They're slugging it out.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Why Matra wants to find out what Ballad knows you?
We are get in Okay, and I still don't see
how you figure it, Wearing. Ballad knows about Missus Sheffield's past,
But what's that got to do with Myra?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Nothing? Uh, it's clearer all the time, but we haven't
time to discuss it now here we are where they
are alright, Mara, Then and I'll let him go. Where
did you have that gun? And then we'll talk. Go on,
drop it? Do you wanna see if I'm only kidding?
Where this one? Okay? They way take it out, Wearing.
(23:45):
Now it's going on here.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
He was trying to kill guy's line. I was trying
to make him talk about what the paper say. Sheffield
was murdered. Warring was asking me about it. Ballat must
have figured me and I wanted to know why he
put a cut on my back.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
He made me come down here in the place.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
We know that, Ballad, and there are a couple of
other things we know. But you were blackmailing missus Sheffield,
for instance. You can't prove that, and you forget that.
Another Sheffield is that she's willing to talk. And we
can certainly prove you were at the apartment or there
around the time of the murder, because I saw you.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I was there after the murder.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Maybe anywhay you better go along with Sergeant Corba. I waited,
wait a minute, and I didn't kill Sheffield. I didn't
say you did, but you know who didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
When you talk, I I come on, Mary, come back here,
and I sit. Come back here.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
You're not going anywhere except with Corba two cause.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Mary, you're the murderer.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I'm sorry I spoil the little Joe's Corbett was Marra
after all?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Present your arm ever get tired wearing? What? Adding yourself
on the back or I'd just like to give credit
to credit the zoo. You weren't so sure it was
marry yourself when you saw an aunt receipt and I
admitted through me for a while, but I bounced back.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
MM.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It's cute of marraor Sheffield once is my name? So
Marra is grape.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
She said, I can't get to him, gets to reach
Saint Port and plugs Sheffield and takes back the money.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
He figured it was safe enough because he read in
the paper about the Layton girl fresding Chefield, and he
condored on her taking the rep. He might have gotten
away with the two ballat hadn't quared the deal, and
in fact, I still don't think you solve this one.
Wearing was simply lucky that by following Ballard we happened
to stumble on Marra.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's what I was calling on again.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, sweetheart, See I knew that Ballad had tipped off
the person shot at me.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I did you know that?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Because the person was waiting for me at Freddy's Bar.
That meant he had to know where I'd be going,
and Ballot was the only one on you. Couldn't it
have been Ballad himself who was waiting now, because I
went straight to Freddy's from Ballots and my driver drove fast,
Ballot would.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Never have beaten me there a ride. It wasn't Ballid, No,
but it was.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Somebody who had been tipped off by Ballot. At first
I thought it was somebody working with him, but when
you confirmed my suspicions about him being a blackmailer, I
changed my idea. He fagured Ballard was following a pattern
and blackmailing again.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
He was out the scene at the time of the murder.
It was perfectly possible for him, who have seen the
murderer leave of your pardon me. So I figured it
was blackmail, and he tipped the murder that I knew
too much of the murder.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Who get rid of me. He didn't want men being
the killer and spoiling his chance for blackmail. But Ballad
is the one who puts you on the Mara in
the first plane.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Oh, I know he could rattle when I was accusing
him and try to get out from under, but after
I left, he couldn't see that nice opportunity for black
mayle going out the window.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I say, that's all it was to it.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Once I realized Ballad was up for the old game
of blackmail and you. All we had to do was
follow it, and sooner or later we'd crossed paths with
the murderer. Yeah, wearing in all adds up, Except couldn't
Mara have been telling the truth when he said all
he was trying to do was find out why Ballad
sit you on him?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
How did he know Ballad was the one who steered
me to him. No, Corvett, a marror named Ballad. He
put his head in the noose. He got the wrong
matter for wearing in this state. It's not the nose,
it's the electric champ and that case hanging.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Around for good night, Corvitt. This is Mike Wearing friends.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Our Falkrom programs bring you stories of the detection and
prevention of crime. And right now I'd like to say another.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Word or two about preventing crime. You can help.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You know you needn't give money, Just give your sincere
support to the Boys Clubs of America.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
These clubs build.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Good citizens with strong, healthy bodies and minds, Boys who
are completely honest, who respect property and individual rights, and
who realize that America is a land of opportunity if
you're willing to learn and work and try hard. These
non sectarian, non profit boys clubs are operated by groups
of public spirited adults so that boys from eight to
twenty can enjoy the right kind of recreation and companionship
(27:42):
in their own clubhouses. If you and your neighbors would
like to establish a boy's club in your community, get
in touch with the Boys' Clubs of America for help.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Think about it, won't you?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Thanks a lot?
