(02:28):
You're lying? Oh? Where'd you get it? You remember Marty Braddock?
How could I forget if I ever lay my hands
in it? Hey? Wait a minute, you're trying to tell
me you ran into Marty. No, but I met his missus, Julie. Yeah,

(02:49):
to see you. What do you do? Follow her home? Yeah?
I put the bite on her. Yeah, Marty must be
doing okay. If his wife can shell out one hundred plams,
leave it to Marty. He's got a job at the
Belmont Bank. What you know? I was figuring? Check. I

keep his old friends happy, You jerk? Is that all
(03:11):
you can think of? Where's your imagination? Marty working for
a bank? You expect me to be satisfied with a
couple of bucks? Now if you said a couple of thousand,
that would be different. I don't get you nah, but
Marty will get my coat. We're going bye.
Speaker 4 (03:27):

Yes? Can you break this bill? Certainly? How would you
like it? Oh? Five? Five ones will be fine? Five?
One h you Marty broddick, Yes, that's right. One of
you could spare me a few minutes. My name is
Mike Wearing. Well, I'm very busy. We bank is one
of my clients. Just close your window, really, mister Wearing,
(04:05):
It's okay, it's official business. Suppose we're going to Sinclair's office. Sure,
any better come around this way? I asked what this
is all about? You will find on I hope mister
Sinclair isn't annoyed with me? Not yet anyway. All right,
sit down, thanks. I don't know if you're familiar with
(04:30):
what I do for the bank. Well, no, I well,
I'm a private detective. One of my duties is to
check personnel I see on the course of events. I
sent your fingerprints to the FBI. I guess you know
what they told me. Yes, I guess I do. Your
application here doesn't mention anything about you serving five to
ten for armed robbery back in nineteen forty five. A.
(04:51):
I'm wearing I won't take up any more now just
a minute.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
What for?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I've heard the spiel twenty times. I'm offuly sorry, Braddeck,
But naturally we can't afford to have an ex con
work for us. Isn't that how it goes? Now? Don't
blame me. I'm just an innocent bystander. When did you
get out? What difference does it make? Or just humor me?
In forty nine? We have he been doing since getting
kicked all over the place? You really been trying to
(05:16):
go straight? Would you believe it? If I said?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Who knows? Look if you get your kicks torturing people
at swell, but I don't think I no, no, no, no,
I'm really interested. Well, I I was nineteen and I
pulled that job in Buffalo. It was the only crooked
thing I ever did. I threw him with a couple
of boys I know named Chuck Lewis and Willie Frank.
(05:38):
How did you know? It's all down here? I see
you're married? Yeah, three years ago. There's your wife known everything.
I met her before I was set up and she waited. Yes,
that sounds like quite a girl. How is she going
to take this? No way, she's been taking it all along.
She won't complain. Look, braddick, and if I were to
(06:04):
forget about this for a while, what could I trust
you not to make me sorry?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Listen wearing. If you give me this break, I swear
you'll never regret it.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I hope not. Okay, fell I'll get back to work,
all right, Willie, Well do you get to save yourself?
(06:34):
Where's Marty? I swear that's where he works? Chuck Funny,
We didn't see him come out. Everybody else? Yeah, oh
what do you make of that? Okay, Willie? You wait
here in the alley. You ain't gonna pull anything. Just wait,
you see anybody sing out, Hey buddy, you get a match?
(06:56):
Sure here keep the book. Yeah, you always worse board.
It's no matter, Mary, don't you recognize me? No, I
must have gained a few pounds.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Chuck lewis there?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You didn't forget?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
The question is what are you doing here? Since when
do they employ ex cons in bank?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I don't work there.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Hein't the way I heard it.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Look, I don't care what you heard.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Get out of my way. Hey, Isy, twell you'll last longer,
you know what I mean? So you still pack a gun.
You won't believe this, Marty, But this one's a present
from your missus. What of course, in all fairness to Julie,
she didn't know how we were going to spend the
money we Oh, I forgot to mention, there's another friend
of yours around, Willie Frank, Look shut for that, alley.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You're not gonna get away with this.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You're not gonna get away with this. Buy had a
buck for every time I heard that I could retire. Hey, Willie,
Look who's here? I am? Marty? What are you fellows
up to? We're going back in business. We're not where
you certainly wouln't want the bank to find out they
got an ex con on the payroll. You know it already. Well,
then that orders the case somewhat, but not enough. We're
(08:08):
gonna teach him it's not right to put temptation in
your way. Now, me and Willie got a little plan.
I'm not interested. Suppose I put it to you like this?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Make it?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
What did you do? Give out of the shoe? All right,
Galahad on your feet. You're gonna cooperate, No, I say
you will. You wouldn't want anything to happen to your missus.
What as I recall your offully sweet on that dame.
I wonder if you'd like her as much if she
had her face carved.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That will help me, chuck.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
If you touch Juliot your god, don't make me laugh.
I'll get this and get it straight. You're gonna play ball,
otherwise you'll go home one night and find your wife
a mess. It means Mary you're gonna join the team. Yeah,
it's a spirit. Get on home. We wouldn't want Julie
(09:02):
to get nervous about you. You know how little it
takes to make some women worry? Is that you, darling?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Let me take you.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It's all right, Julie. What happened? Nothing?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
How can you say that? Sit down? I'm going to
cut up.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
No, no, but look at I tell you I'm all right,
you're not.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I've got a right to know what happened.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I ran into a couple of old friends, Chuck and Willie. Yeah,
it was my fault.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
If I'd been careful will he never would have followed me.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
How could you have even known he was in town, Julie.
They want me to throw in with him again.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
No, what do you suggest?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
They can't make any trouble. But mister Werreing knows about your.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Records, but the bank doesn't. If William Chuck went to
the powers it be, I'd be out in the street
in five minutes.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
No, you wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, who are we kidding?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Can't you see Old Sinclair's reaction when he learns he's
got an ext Cohn in his temple of finance.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
It'd be the same old story all over again.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
All right, then you'll quit the job.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I won't satisfied, Chuck. He said, if I didn't cooperate,
he he'd what.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Never mind?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Did he threaten you? I've got a right to know.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, Julie, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
You're gonna do absolutely nothing. But there are no butts
about it. You leave it to me, Darling.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I'll think of something, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Take it easy. You want to bust my head? Drum? Well,
how about a little service here? You want service? Try
to Worldorf Tony. How would you like me to come
downstairs and give you a punch in the nose? He
always Chuck Clois. What's the matter of Chuck? Can't you
take it?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Chuck? No?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You see Willie Frank Iron, No, I ain't seen him
all day. Well, when he comes in you tell him
I want to never mind? I think that's him. Hump,
what was that?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
A chop?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
A second? Hello, Mike? H Sergeant Corbett. That brings you
down in my little nest? What always brings me down? You? Why? Sergeant?
I never dreamed you cared?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
What's on your mind? You do some work for the
Belmont Bank, don't you? That's Ryan? How are you doing there?
They're satisfyed. I guess it doesn't take much. Uh what
are you talking about? But I thought it was your
job to investigate all their employees, so so you slipped
up kind of badly. Did you know they had an
ex con on the payroll? No, you're lying. I look Corbett,
(12:36):
if you're referring to Marty Braddock. Uh huh, Well I
figured the guy deserved the brak, So you destroyed the report.
How did you know that? Because I was down at
the bank to see mister Braddock. One of his old
associates was just knocked off a fella named Chuck Lewis. No,
I'm telling you, yes, and you think that I think
it's highly suspicious. Mister Braddock didn't show up for work today.
(13:00):
Well what does his wife say? I haven't seen her yet.
You might if I join you. I insist on it.
After all, when you did your good deed for Braddy,
you paved the way for murder. All right, boy Scott,
let's go now back to the Adventures of the Falcon.
(13:36):
Twenty minutes have passed since Sergeant Corbett aprized Mike of
the murder of Chuck Lewis, and now we find the
two at the apartment of Marty Braddock, whom the sergeant
is sponsoring as chief suspect. Looks like nobody's home or
what do you expect? Maybe we better go in. Yes,
I was just going to suggest that, allow me, but
(13:58):
five will get you. You're doing it? Huh.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
If you don't get away from that door, I'll call
the police.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You won't have farther travel. This's gender' is one of
them you, Julie Braddock. Yes, it's a sergeant Corbet. My
name is Mike Waring.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Oh so you're the one.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, he's the one.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Well, uh, what are you gentlemen doing here?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well? I think we better discuss that inside. What's wrong
and what makes you think anything is wrong?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Did something happened to Marty?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
No, but something will.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Where is he?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
That's what we'd like to know.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Now, you better sit down, Julian.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
You gotta tell me.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Do you ever hear of a man named Chuck Lewis?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
No, you're lying, angel I swear I didn't.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
You should have. He was one of your husband's fraternity brothers.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
You leave my husband out of this.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh we can't. Chuck Lewis was murdered this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And you think Marty did, Yes, you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Then why did he disappear?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Who says he did?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
He didn't show up for work?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Well, maybe he went over to see his brother in Jersey.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Don't make me laugh.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
He could if his brother had a heart attack last week.
Maybe he took a.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Turn for the worse, and Marty didn't say anything to
you about it.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
He doesn't like to worry me.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Just a real solicitous kid, ain't he.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I swear that's the truth.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We'll see how it hits a jury.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
They can't hold him, can they, mister Wearing, Well, it
all depends.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Was Marty in touch with Chuck? No, it'll be easy
enough to find out.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I give you my word, Marty hasn't seen him since
he was sent up.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
But then, how do you account for the fact we
found your husband's business card on Chuck's body.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That was my fault. I was in touch with him.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Come again.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I was out shopping last week and I ran into
Willie Frank.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Willie Frank.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yes, he was a friend of Chuck's. I gave him
some money. But Martin knew nothing about it.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Do you expect that's to believe that he had no Marty, Oh, yes,
he hadn't. Suppose Chuck was in touch with your husband.
Suppose he had threatened to go to the bank and
tell him of Marty's past record After all, this was
Marty's big chance. He'd be pee with anyone who tried
to ruin it.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I tell you Marty didn't kill him.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Then who did me?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
What you heard me? I did it?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You realize what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yes, I went to that place where he was living
this afternoon. I went in through the rear entrance. There's
one right on or third.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Did anyone see you?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
No, you're not buying this, are you? Mike? That was
an easy way to check. What did you do with
the gun?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I threw it in a sewer where I can't remember,
but it was somewhere along the bar.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh that's a hot one.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Why won't you believe me?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Because it's obvious you're shielding your husband. Yes, it was
an nice try, missus Braddock, but I'm holding out for Marty,
and since I can't depend on you to notify me
when he comes in, I'll have a couple of boys
downstairs who will hello.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Hello, is that you're wearing?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah? Who's this? This is Marty Braddock?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Listen wearing I want to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, that makes us even because I want to talk
to you. I'll meet you at your apartment in twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
No, No, let's make it someplace else. There are a
couple of squad cars parking in front of my door.
I got a hunch of something.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
More something is where are you now?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Did anything happen to my wife?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You swear yep, Okay, I'm in a drugstore in the
corner of twelfth and fourth Avenue. All right, walk down
to the corner of twelfth and fifth. I'll combine a
blue nash. Don't stop to ad my other color.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Just hop in, all right, wearing?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
What's up that makes you think anything? Is that there's
too much hocus pocus going on? What are the cops
staked out in front of my house for and looking
for you? Why don't you know?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
If I did, I wouldn't ask.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
And a friend of yours named Chuck Lewis met a
violent end today. You mean he was murdered? But who
did it? All right? Now? The police are inclined to
give you the honor.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I swear I didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Why didn't you report for work this morning?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I was on my way when I got across my
brother's dock. He wasn't feeling so hot, so.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
He went over to Jersey to see him it's right
without notifying Julie. She was out shopping, so you didn't
even think of leaving a note.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I was too excited. Look, it's easy enough to prove
what time was Chuck killed?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
One fifteen?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Well, you can check with my brother. I was there
from ten thirty three?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Was anybody else with you? No, I don't suppose your
brother would mind perjuring himself to say of your life.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Gotta believe me. I tell you I didn't kill him.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, then that makes it look worse for Julie. What
are you talking about? Well, I forgot to mention it.
But she confessed. She what she claims she killed Chuck?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Why she's crazy? She didn't even know he was in town.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
She says. She ran unto Willie Frank one day will
relay the happy tidings.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
You don't believe that, can't you see what she's trying
to do.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I got an idea, but looks wearing I was lying.
I did know Chuck was around. He wanted me to
throw in with him again. I was supposed to give
him my answer today, So so I.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I gave it home with a gun.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You got the gun? Now? No?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
No, I I got rid of it where I threw
it in the river.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
What about this alibi of yours.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It's a phony. I had it all set with my
brother in advance. Listen where And you've got to believe me,
Julie knew nothing about this.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Well, if you say so, what's the matter.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Don't you believe me?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
What I believe doesn't matter the man. You've got to
convince the sergeant Corbett. I'll arrange way to have a
crack at him.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
That's the story, Sageant. I killed Chuck Lewis. Julie had
nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Okay, that's good enough for me.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You're gonna let it go now, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Well, I'll think about it all right, Haskell take him away, right, sergeant, Will.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
You do me a favor wearing sure Mary, and tell
Julie not to worry. Everything's gonna be all right.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Everything's gonna be all right now. That's what I call
an optimist. Don't tell me you'll believe that confession? Well,
I certainly do. And about his wife's well, her motive
was obvious. She is trying to protect him and he's
trying to do the same for her. Oh you're crazy. Well,
how do you get around his alibi? What alibi? He
admits he set it up in advance with his brother.
He noticed there was no one else around to substantiate
(20:55):
the story. Well, I'm not satisfying, sure, because you hate
to admit this is all your fault. If you had
notified the bank, if his past record, none of this
would have happened. Well, I thought he deserved a break,
and he's gonna get it right in the neck. Now,
wait a minute, aren't we forgetting someone? Oh Willy Frank?
What about him? Why couldn't will he have killed Chuck? Well,
(21:15):
why should he? Chuck was a bully boy. Maybe will
he get fed up taking it? Had always been palling
around with a guy for thirteen years, and now suddenly
he gets fed up? How convenient? Well, I still think
it best investigator, Will you go ahead and investigate mister Wearing.
I wouldn't stop you for the world. I got my
boy right here. I come on, Will he get up?
(21:45):
Wake up? Boy? You're late for Revere. I'll rise and
shine Chuck. Surprise it ain't Chuck. Oh you the name
is Wearing. Mike Wearing. You're the one they call a falcon.
Why can you think of something worse? To call me?
Come on, get up? What for? I ain't no place?
(22:07):
I say you are? Lend me along? I bet you
missed that treatment. Since Chuck is gone, I didn't know
about his murder. You nothing, They tell me weren't around
when he was killed? That's right? Where did you disappear?
To many of business? Don't give me that you punk?
Where were you? I remember? You don't remember? I must
have been loaded. What did you have to celebrate Chuck's death?
(22:31):
What do you remember? Nothing? And you can't be sure
you didn't kill him? This and mister, you've got no
right to come in here and push me around. Do
you think you are anyway? You said it yourself. I'm
the falcon, I get dressed. We're going places? Are that
(23:00):
you Haskell? Oh? It's only me, Satan? And look what
I found? All right? Shoot inside?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Let me go.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
What do you got there? I wish I could think
of a suitable name at the moment it calls itself
Willie Frank, Well, what did you bring him down for?
Because this is where he belongs, don't you, Willie? I
don't know what you're talking about, neither do I. Well,
if you had done a little investigating as I suggested,
you'd have discovered that Willy has no recollection of what
he was doing at the time Chuck was murdered. Well
I have, huh. You should have asked me, WILLI spent
(23:28):
the day right here? He was picked up for vagrancy
at eleven am. But if he was in jail, he
couldn't have killed Chuck. No, he couldn't. You know. You
surprised me, Mike. I didn't think the one and only
Falcon could fall flat on his face twice in one day.
But you did it, didn't your boy? Now beat it.
(23:49):
I got work to do. Now, back to the Adventures
(24:10):
of the Falcon. Ten minutes have passed since Mike Wearing
was informed that Willie Frank, his nominee for the murder
of Chuck Lewis, was turned down, and now Mike goes
to break the news to the surviving candidate. All right,
as he's my past opening up right, Mike war it. Oh, Marty,
do you see Julie. Nope, not yet. You got to
(24:31):
get her out. They promised to release Oh that's kind
of impossible. You see, they never arrested her in the
first place. They didn't know. Sergeant Corbett never believed their confession,
So you held out on You held out on me.
Why didn't you tell me? I decided to throw in
with Chuck and Willie.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I wasn't going to You're lying, all right, so I
was there was nothing else I could do.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Then you intended to go through with that hold up.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yes, look, I know, I know you think I let
you down. But I couldn't help myself, couldn't you. No,
it wasn't that I cared about the job of myself.
I was afraid for Julie. Chuck fretting to go to
work on her?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Did she know that?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
No?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Listen wearing the cops won't bother her anymore, will they?
And as long as you stick to that story that
you killed Chuck, and why shouldn't I?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
On the other hand, why should you? Okay, Maddie, Maybe
someday I'll figure out the reason. Hey, Haskell, I want out. Hello, Julian,
(25:37):
mister Warry, you remember Sergeant Corbett.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Of course, where's my husband right where he belongs. You've
got no right to hold him.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
He didn't kill Chuck and he claims he did.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
He's lying. He's trying to protect me.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I did it? What did you do? With the gun.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I told you, I dropped it in a sewer somewhere
along the bar.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Oh haven't we been through all this before? Yes, but
this time pay a little more attention. Detail a squad
to make a search. What are you babbling about? She's
telling the truth, of course I am. Have you gone crazy, Mike? No,
she did kill Chuck.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Then you believe me?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yes, I do, though I'd give the world not to. Oh,
come on, we'll take you down a headquarters. Hey, you
(26:37):
want to stop somewhere for a beer? Mic, No, thanks, Sergeant,
I don't feel like celebrating. Why not he solved the case? Well,
I'm almost sorry I did. I'd have given anything if
I could have proved that Julie Braddock didn't kill Chuck.
Why did she do it? Anyway? She told the truth
all along. She was crazy about her husband and she
thought Chuck represented the source of danger to him, so
(26:59):
she put him. Uh it seems hard to believe. And
your boys found the gun and the soil on the bower. Yeah, yeah,
that was the item that convinced me. What convinced you?
Marty's confession? It was no worse than her Oh yes
it was, he admitted to me that in order to
protect Julie, he agreed to throw in with Chuck and
Willie and sticking up the bank. So so that was
(27:21):
his way of handling the matter. To him, it was
the lesser of two evils. If he planned to go
through it the hold up, he certainly wouldn't have killed Chuck.
The only reason he made that confession was because he
knew Julie was guilty. I know this uh doesn't sound official,
but I hope the jury goes real easy on her.
I got many dames around that would do what she
(27:43):
did now, and let's hope we don't run into another
for quite a spell, cause what this one did was
murder my good night, sergeant,
Alone. Yes, this is the Falcon speaking Omrion. I'm glad
you called. I'm sorry, Angel, I'm all jammed up. Some
boy just came to see me with a proposition I
couldn't possibly turn down. If we work it right, it
may mean a killing once again. The Adventures of the Falcon,
(00:32):
starring Less Damon. The Adventures of the Falcon dedicated to
private investigators everywhere, those hard hitting detectives who, like Mike Wearing,
risked their lives to aid law enforcement agencies. So join
him now when the Falcon salves the case of the
handy helped me. It is late afternoon in New York
(01:01):
and not the Miramar, a cheap hotel on the Bowery.
One citizen finds released from the cares of the day,
but the sound effects annoyed Chuck Lewis. And when Chuck
is annoyed, he does something about it. All right, Tony,
get up, hele me alone. Come on, Bom, get out
(01:22):
of my room. I ain't bother anybody. You're bothering me
a k Willie, Yeah, and the devil you've been Hi
just went out with some mare? Oh you just went
or what are you hanging around for? Tony? I told
you to get lost. Someone would think you ordered joined.
What did you say, Nut? He's a wise guy, that Tony.
(01:43):
I wouldn't let him get away with it? Chuck, Now
what would you do? What's the matter? Well? Everything loves
you the wrong way? Here? Maybe this will make you
feel better. What'd you get that bottle? I got friends?
You raised any doll?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I never saw such a bunch of woods in my life.
Kam here a second, I said, came here. Now look
watch the matter. Don't you want to stand him?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
But sure?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Got it? Now after your pockets quit stall and turn
him inside out? Listen? Are you going to do like
I say? Look, Chuck, I don't want you to think
for you little rat. So you're holding out of me? Honest,
I was gonna split. Now where'd you get to see notes? Hey?
(02:28):
You're lying? Oh? Where'd you get it? You remember Marty Braddock?
How could I forget if I ever lay my hands
in it? Hey? Wait a minute, you're trying to tell
me you ran into Marty. No, but I met his missus, Julie. Yeah,
what do you know? It must have been real tickle
(02:49):
to see you. What do you do? Follow her home? Yeah?
I put the bite on her. Yeah, Marty must be
doing okay. If his wife can shell out one hundred plams,
leave it to Marty. He's got a job at the
Belmont Bank. What you know? I was figuring? Check. I
bet he wouldn't mind a touch now, and then they
keep his old friends happy, You jerk? Is that all
(03:11):
you can think of? Where's your imagination? Marty working for
a bank? You expect me to be satisfied with a
couple of bucks? Now if you said a couple of thousand,
that would be different. I don't get you nah, but
Marty will get my coat. We're going bye.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Bye, Yes, sir, Can I help you?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yes? Can you break this bill? Certainly? How would you
like it? Oh? Five? Five ones will be fine? Five?
One h you Marty broddick, Yes, that's right. One of
you could spare me a few minutes. My name is
Mike Wearing. Well, I'm very busy. We bank is one
of my clients. Just close your window, really, mister Wearing,
(04:05):
It's okay, it's official business. Suppose we're going to Sinclair's office. Sure,
any better come around this way? I asked what this
is all about? You will find on I hope mister
Sinclair isn't annoyed with me? Not yet anyway. All right,
sit down, thanks. I don't know if you're familiar with
(04:30):
what I do for the bank. Well, no, I well,
I'm a private detective. One of my duties is to
check personnel I see on the course of events. I
sent your fingerprints to the FBI. I guess you know
what they told me. Yes, I guess I do. Your
application here doesn't mention anything about you serving five to
ten for armed robbery back in nineteen forty five. A.
(04:51):
I'm wearing I won't take up any more now just
a minute.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
What for?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I've heard the spiel twenty times. I'm offuly sorry, Braddeck,
But naturally we can't afford to have an ex con
work for us. Isn't that how it goes? Now? Don't
blame me. I'm just an innocent bystander. When did you
get out? What difference does it make? Or just humor me?
In forty nine? We have he been doing since getting
kicked all over the place? You really been trying to
(05:16):
go straight? Would you believe it? If I said?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Who knows? Look if you get your kicks torturing people
at swell, but I don't think I no, no, no, no,
I'm really interested. Well, I I was nineteen and I
pulled that job in Buffalo. It was the only crooked
thing I ever did. I threw him with a couple
of boys I know named Chuck Lewis and Willie Frank.
(05:38):
How did you know? It's all down here? I see
you're married? Yeah, three years ago. There's your wife known everything.
I met her before I was set up and she waited. Yes,
that sounds like quite a girl. How is she going
to take this? No way, she's been taking it all along.
She won't complain. Look, braddick, and if I were to
(06:04):
forget about this for a while, what could I trust
you not to make me sorry?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Listen wearing. If you give me this break, I swear
you'll never regret it.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I hope not. Okay, fell I'll get back to work,
all right, Willie, Well do you get to save yourself?
(06:34):
Where's Marty? I swear that's where he works? Chuck Funny,
We didn't see him come out. Everybody else? Yeah, oh
what do you make of that? Okay, Willie? You wait
here in the alley. You ain't gonna pull anything. Just wait,
you see anybody sing out, Hey buddy, you get a match?
(06:56):
Sure here keep the book. Yeah, you always worse board.
It's no matter, Mary, don't you recognize me? No, I
must have gained a few pounds.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Chuck lewis there?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You didn't forget?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
The question is what are you doing here? Since when
do they employ ex cons in bank?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I don't work there.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Hein't the way I heard it.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Look, I don't care what you heard.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Get out of my way. Hey, Isy, twell you'll last longer,
you know what I mean? So you still pack a gun.
You won't believe this, Marty, But this one's a present
from your missus. What of course, in all fairness to Julie,
she didn't know how we were going to spend the
money we Oh, I forgot to mention, there's another friend
of yours around, Willie Frank, Look shut for that, alley.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You're not gonna get away with this.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You're not gonna get away with this. Buy had a
buck for every time I heard that I could retire. Hey, Willie,
Look who's here? I am? Marty? What are you fellows
up to? We're going back in business. We're not where
you certainly wouln't want the bank to find out they
got an ex con on the payroll. You know it already. Well,
then that orders the case somewhat, but not enough. We're
(08:08):
gonna teach him it's not right to put temptation in
your way. Now, me and Willie got a little plan.
I'm not interested. Suppose I put it to you like this?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Make it?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
What did you do? Give out of the shoe? All right,
Galahad on your feet. You're gonna cooperate, No, I say
you will. You wouldn't want anything to happen to your missus.
What as I recall your offully sweet on that dame.
I wonder if you'd like her as much if she
had her face carved.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That will help me, chuck.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
If you touch Juliot your god, don't make me laugh.
I'll get this and get it straight. You're gonna play ball,
otherwise you'll go home one night and find your wife
a mess. It means Mary you're gonna join the team. Yeah,
it's a spirit. Get on home. We wouldn't want Julie
(09:02):
to get nervous about you. You know how little it
takes to make some women worry? Is that you, darling?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Let me take you.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It's all right, Julie. What happened? Nothing?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
How can you say that? Sit down? I'm going to
cut up.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
No, no, but look at I tell you I'm all right,
you're not.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I've got a right to know what happened.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I ran into a couple of old friends, Chuck and Willie. Yeah,
it was my fault.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
If I'd been careful will he never would have followed me.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
How could you have even known he was in town, Julie.
They want me to throw in with him again.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
No, what do you suggest?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
They can't make any trouble. But mister Werreing knows about your.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Records, but the bank doesn't. If William Chuck went to
the powers it be, I'd be out in the street
in five minutes.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
No, you wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, who are we kidding?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Can't you see Old Sinclair's reaction when he learns he's
got an ext Cohn in his temple of finance.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
It'd be the same old story all over again.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
All right, then you'll quit the job.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I won't satisfied, Chuck. He said, if I didn't cooperate,
he he'd what.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Never mind?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Did he threaten you? I've got a right to know.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, Julie, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
You're gonna do absolutely nothing. But there are no butts
about it. You leave it to me, Darling.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I'll think of something, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Take it easy. You want to bust my head? Drum? Well,
how about a little service here? You want service? Try
to Worldorf Tony. How would you like me to come
downstairs and give you a punch in the nose? He
always Chuck Clois. What's the matter of Chuck? Can't you
take it?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Chuck? No?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
You see Willie Frank Iron, No, I ain't seen him
all day. Well, when he comes in you tell him
I want to never mind? I think that's him. Hump,
what was that?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
A chop?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
A second? Hello, Mike? H Sergeant Corbett. That brings you
down in my little nest? What always brings me down? You? Why? Sergeant?
I never dreamed you cared?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
What's on your mind? You do some work for the
Belmont Bank, don't you? That's Ryan? How are you doing there?
They're satisfyed. I guess it doesn't take much. Uh what
are you talking about? But I thought it was your
job to investigate all their employees, so so you slipped
up kind of badly. Did you know they had an
ex con on the payroll? No, you're lying. I look Corbett,
(12:36):
if you're referring to Marty Braddock. Uh huh, Well I
figured the guy deserved the brak, So you destroyed the report.
How did you know that? Because I was down at
the bank to see mister Braddock. One of his old
associates was just knocked off a fella named Chuck Lewis. No,
I'm telling you, yes, and you think that I think
it's highly suspicious. Mister Braddock didn't show up for work today.
(13:00):
Well what does his wife say? I haven't seen her yet.
You might if I join you. I insist on it.
After all, when you did your good deed for Braddy,
you paved the way for murder. All right, boy Scott,
let's go now back to the Adventures of the Falcon.
(13:36):
Twenty minutes have passed since Sergeant Corbett aprized Mike of
the murder of Chuck Lewis, and now we find the
two at the apartment of Marty Braddock, whom the sergeant
is sponsoring as chief suspect. Looks like nobody's home or
what do you expect? Maybe we better go in. Yes,
I was just going to suggest that, allow me, but
(13:58):
five will get you. You're doing it? Huh.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
If you don't get away from that door, I'll call
the police.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You won't have farther travel. This's gender' is one of
them you, Julie Braddock. Yes, it's a sergeant Corbet. My
name is Mike Waring.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Oh so you're the one.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, he's the one.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Well, uh, what are you gentlemen doing here?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well? I think we better discuss that inside. What's wrong
and what makes you think anything is wrong?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Did something happened to Marty?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
No, but something will.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Where is he?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
That's what we'd like to know.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Now, you better sit down, Julian.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
You gotta tell me.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Do you ever hear of a man named Chuck Lewis?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
No, you're lying, angel I swear I didn't.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
You should have. He was one of your husband's fraternity brothers.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
You leave my husband out of this.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh we can't. Chuck Lewis was murdered this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And you think Marty did, Yes, you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Then why did he disappear?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Who says he did?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
He didn't show up for work?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Well, maybe he went over to see his brother in Jersey.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Don't make me laugh.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
He could if his brother had a heart attack last week.
Maybe he took a.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Turn for the worse, and Marty didn't say anything to
you about it.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
He doesn't like to worry me.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Just a real solicitous kid, ain't he.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I swear that's the truth.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We'll see how it hits a jury.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
They can't hold him, can they, mister Wearing, Well, it
all depends.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Was Marty in touch with Chuck? No, it'll be easy
enough to find out.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I give you my word, Marty hasn't seen him since
he was sent up.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
But then, how do you account for the fact we
found your husband's business card on Chuck's body.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That was my fault. I was in touch with him.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Come again.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I was out shopping last week and I ran into
Willie Frank.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Willie Frank.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yes, he was a friend of Chuck's. I gave him
some money. But Martin knew nothing about it.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Do you expect that's to believe that he had no Marty, Oh, yes,
he hadn't. Suppose Chuck was in touch with your husband.
Suppose he had threatened to go to the bank and
tell him of Marty's past record After all, this was
Marty's big chance. He'd be pee with anyone who tried
to ruin it.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I tell you Marty didn't kill him.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Then who did me?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
What you heard me? I did it?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You realize what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yes, I went to that place where he was living
this afternoon. I went in through the rear entrance. There's
one right on or third.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Did anyone see you?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
No, you're not buying this, are you? Mike? That was
an easy way to check. What did you do with
the gun?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I threw it in a sewer where I can't remember,
but it was somewhere along the bar.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh that's a hot one.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Why won't you believe me?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Because it's obvious you're shielding your husband. Yes, it was
an nice try, missus Braddock, but I'm holding out for Marty,
and since I can't depend on you to notify me
when he comes in, I'll have a couple of boys
downstairs who will hello.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Hello, is that you're wearing?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah? Who's this? This is Marty Braddock?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Listen wearing I want to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, that makes us even because I want to talk
to you. I'll meet you at your apartment in twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
No, No, let's make it someplace else. There are a
couple of squad cars parking in front of my door.
I got a hunch of something.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
More something is where are you now?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Did anything happen to my wife?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You swear yep, Okay, I'm in a drugstore in the
corner of twelfth and fourth Avenue. All right, walk down
to the corner of twelfth and fifth. I'll combine a
blue nash. Don't stop to ad my other color.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Just hop in, all right, wearing?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
What's up that makes you think anything? Is that there's
too much hocus pocus going on? What are the cops
staked out in front of my house for and looking
for you? Why don't you know?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
If I did, I wouldn't ask.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
And a friend of yours named Chuck Lewis met a
violent end today. You mean he was murdered? But who
did it? All right? Now? The police are inclined to
give you the honor.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I swear I didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Why didn't you report for work this morning?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I was on my way when I got across my
brother's dock. He wasn't feeling so hot, so.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
He went over to Jersey to see him it's right
without notifying Julie. She was out shopping, so you didn't
even think of leaving a note.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I was too excited. Look, it's easy enough to prove
what time was Chuck killed?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
One fifteen?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Well, you can check with my brother. I was there
from ten thirty three?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Was anybody else with you? No, I don't suppose your
brother would mind perjuring himself to say of your life.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Gotta believe me. I tell you I didn't kill him.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, then that makes it look worse for Julie. What
are you talking about? Well, I forgot to mention it.
But she confessed. She what she claims she killed Chuck?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Why she's crazy? She didn't even know he was in town.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
She says. She ran unto Willie Frank one day will
relay the happy tidings.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
You don't believe that, can't you see what she's trying
to do.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I got an idea, but looks wearing I was lying.
I did know Chuck was around. He wanted me to
throw in with him again. I was supposed to give
him my answer today, So so I.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I gave it home with a gun.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You got the gun? Now? No?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
No, I I got rid of it where I threw
it in the river.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
What about this alibi of yours.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It's a phony. I had it all set with my
brother in advance. Listen where And you've got to believe me,
Julie knew nothing about this.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Well, if you say so, what's the matter.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Don't you believe me?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
What I believe doesn't matter the man. You've got to
convince the sergeant Corbett. I'll arrange way to have a
crack at him.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
That's the story, Sageant. I killed Chuck Lewis. Julie had
nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Okay, that's good enough for me.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You're gonna let it go now, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Well, I'll think about it all right, Haskell take him away, right, sergeant, Will.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
You do me a favor wearing sure Mary, and tell
Julie not to worry. Everything's gonna be all right.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Everything's gonna be all right now. That's what I call
an optimist. Don't tell me you'll believe that confession? Well,
I certainly do. And about his wife's well, her motive
was obvious. She is trying to protect him and he's
trying to do the same for her. Oh you're crazy. Well,
how do you get around his alibi? What alibi? He
admits he set it up in advance with his brother.
He noticed there was no one else around to substantiate
(20:55):
the story. Well, I'm not satisfying, sure, because you hate
to admit this is all your fault. If you had
notified the bank, if his past record, none of this
would have happened. Well, I thought he deserved a break,
and he's gonna get it right in the neck. Now,
wait a minute, aren't we forgetting someone? Oh Willy Frank?
What about him? Why couldn't will he have killed Chuck? Well,
(21:15):
why should he? Chuck was a bully boy. Maybe will
he get fed up taking it? Had always been palling
around with a guy for thirteen years, and now suddenly
he gets fed up? How convenient? Well, I still think
it best investigator, Will you go ahead and investigate mister Wearing.
I wouldn't stop you for the world. I got my
boy right here. I come on, Will he get up?
(21:45):
Wake up? Boy? You're late for Revere. I'll rise and
shine Chuck. Surprise it ain't Chuck. Oh you the name
is Wearing. Mike Wearing. You're the one they call a falcon.
Why can you think of something worse? To call me?
Come on, get up? What for? I ain't no place?
(22:07):
I say you are? Lend me along? I bet you
missed that treatment. Since Chuck is gone, I didn't know
about his murder. You nothing, They tell me weren't around
when he was killed? That's right? Where did you disappear?
To many of business? Don't give me that you punk?
Where were you? I remember? You don't remember? I must
have been loaded. What did you have to celebrate Chuck's death?
(22:31):
What do you remember? Nothing? And you can't be sure
you didn't kill him? This and mister, you've got no
right to come in here and push me around. Do
you think you are anyway? You said it yourself. I'm
the falcon, I get dressed. We're going places? Are that
(23:00):
you Haskell? Oh? It's only me, Satan? And look what
I found? All right? Shoot inside?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Let me go.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
What do you got there? I wish I could think
of a suitable name at the moment it calls itself
Willie Frank, Well, what did you bring him down for?
Because this is where he belongs, don't you, Willie? I
don't know what you're talking about, neither do I. Well,
if you had done a little investigating as I suggested,
you'd have discovered that Willy has no recollection of what
he was doing at the time Chuck was murdered. Well
I have, huh. You should have asked me, WILLI spent
(23:28):
the day right here? He was picked up for vagrancy
at eleven am. But if he was in jail, he
couldn't have killed Chuck. No, he couldn't. You know. You
surprised me, Mike. I didn't think the one and only
Falcon could fall flat on his face twice in one day.
But you did it, didn't your boy? Now beat it.
(23:49):
I got work to do. Now, back to the Adventures
(24:10):
of the Falcon. Ten minutes have passed since Mike Wearing
was informed that Willie Frank, his nominee for the murder
of Chuck Lewis, was turned down, and now Mike goes
to break the news to the surviving candidate. All right,
as he's my past opening up right, Mike war it. Oh, Marty,
do you see Julie. Nope, not yet. You got to
(24:31):
get her out. They promised to release Oh that's kind
of impossible. You see, they never arrested her in the
first place. They didn't know. Sergeant Corbett never believed their confession,
So you held out on You held out on me.
Why didn't you tell me? I decided to throw in
with Chuck and Willie.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I wasn't going to You're lying, all right, so I
was there was nothing else I could do.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Then you intended to go through with that hold up.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yes, look, I know, I know you think I let
you down. But I couldn't help myself, couldn't you. No,
it wasn't that I cared about the job of myself.
I was afraid for Julie. Chuck fretting to go to
work on her?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Did she know that?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
No?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Listen wearing the cops won't bother her anymore, will they?
And as long as you stick to that story that
you killed Chuck, and why shouldn't I?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
On the other hand, why should you? Okay, Maddie, Maybe
someday I'll figure out the reason. Hey, Haskell, I want out. Hello, Julian,
(25:37):
mister Warry, you remember Sergeant Corbett.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Of course, where's my husband right where he belongs. You've
got no right to hold him.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
He didn't kill Chuck and he claims he did.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
He's lying. He's trying to protect me.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I did it? What did you do? With the gun.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I told you, I dropped it in a sewer somewhere
along the bar.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Oh haven't we been through all this before? Yes, but
this time pay a little more attention. Detail a squad
to make a search. What are you babbling about? She's
telling the truth, of course I am. Have you gone crazy, Mike? No,
she did kill Chuck.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Then you believe me?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yes, I do, though I'd give the world not to. Oh,
come on, we'll take you down a headquarters. Hey, you
(26:37):
want to stop somewhere for a beer? Mic, No, thanks, Sergeant,
I don't feel like celebrating. Why not he solved the case? Well,
I'm almost sorry I did. I'd have given anything if
I could have proved that Julie Braddock didn't kill Chuck.
Why did she do it? Anyway? She told the truth
all along. She was crazy about her husband and she
thought Chuck represented the source of danger to him, so
(26:59):
she put him. Uh it seems hard to believe. And
your boys found the gun and the soil on the bower. Yeah, yeah,
that was the item that convinced me. What convinced you?
Marty's confession? It was no worse than her Oh yes
it was, he admitted to me that in order to
protect Julie, he agreed to throw in with Chuck and
Willie and sticking up the bank. So so that was
(27:21):
his way of handling the matter. To him, it was
the lesser of two evils. If he planned to go
through it the hold up, he certainly wouldn't have killed Chuck.
The only reason he made that confession was because he
knew Julie was guilty. I know this uh doesn't sound official,
but I hope the jury goes real easy on her.
I got many dames around that would do what she
(27:43):
did now, and let's hope we don't run into another
for quite a spell, cause what this one did was
murder my good night, sergeant,
