I would have started being nice land make up to
(03:28):
him for a lot of the things that undone to him. Yeah,
then I'll be his friend. Let's see how to do
a friend that. He's kind, He's polite, courteous, and honest
in his dealings. I'm getting into a whole new field. Here,
(03:49):
come in brother hand, the friend of my childhood? Who
are crazy about? Hell? Is it English? What is you
talking about? Oh? No, Nan, It just reminding you how
much I loved you and how much you loves me. Yeah,
let me put my mom mand Your boy that hauled
a kingfish? Now just a minute.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
The last time you had done that? When I went
out of here, my gold watch was missing.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh that was accident, And I remember your watch caught
on one of the buttons on my vest and I
didn't discover until I got to the pawn shop. Well,
keep away from me, king fish. Well, now, look, and
I don't blame you for being a little respicious. I
guess I well, I guess I sort of took advantage
of you a little in the past.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
A little since January, you've done sold me two gold bricks,
the Brooklyn Navy Yard and the Central Park Lake including
the ducks.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, I guess I did have a pretty big year.
And that's all over with now son as a change man.
And well, I turning over a new leaf. What you
mean by that? And I'll prove it to you. I'm
gonna start paying you back what I owes you. I
gonna do a lot of rest restituting, and I gonna
start off by tooting you this fight out of the bill.
(04:51):
You ain't even out the sun too long enough. No, no,
and it's all you was taking five dollars day. Yeah,
well thanks, Kingfish. I'll just put this fight dollars in
my wallet chair, Yeah, put the and naturally and there
you was my best friend. And I want to see
I want to say, uh say. And when you open
that wallet to put the money in, I notice a
flash of green in the You ain't saving four leaf clothes,
(05:13):
nothing like that in the bottom, Kingfish, that's two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I done drawt out the bank. I've been figuring on
buying some life insurance.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
With got two hundred dollars in there in your pocket book.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Hey, king fish, what's the matter with you? Your eyes just
lit up like the day lights of a Cadillac.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Take a chair, brother, and then pull your wallet up
to the table. Here. I want to talk to you.
And so you're figuring out taking out life insurance. Uh,
I guess you're tired of living. Huh? What you mean
by that? Well, and most people don't realize is but
life insurance is a tricky thing. It makes dying look
so attractive. You see how you figure well, any of
us say that you takes out of life insurance policy,
it pays five thousand dollars. When you passes on, you
(05:54):
ain't gonna be able to resist the temptation, the temptation
not you know that all you've got to do you
would become a wealthy man, is to kick the bucket. Yeah,
that's right. I wonder why they don't mention that in
that booklet they give you though, Oh, I tell you
the truth there and why in the last twenty years,
life insurance has made it Rigamart's more popular than gin rum.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, I never looked at it quite that way. I
was thinking about taking out one of them ten year policy.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Right now, there's another disadvantage. Say you take the ten
year policy. You got to pay to come to premiums
to ten years, don't you. Yeah, I guess I do.
I suppose you die in three years, Andy, you'd be
paying premium seven years after you was under the ground.
You see, Yeah, that's right. That don't sound too good. Now, Oh,
I'd give up the thought of insurance an you couldn't
pay the medicals am nowhere. I couldn't. No. And it's
(06:41):
just like automobile insurance. If the breaks and the tires
and the motor's bad, they won't give you no policy.
And right now you looks like a nineteen twelve Essex.
That's what you cow. Brother. And instead of throwing your
money away on life insurance, my advice to you is
to turn the two hundred dollars over to me for
investments in the Stevens hold Them company. I go tell you, Oh,
so that's your angle, huh.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I out of know there was something like that. Look,
King Fish, I'm getting out of here. Yours jip me
for the last time. I ain't gonna speak to you
no more than never.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Goodbye, good wait a minute, and there, m there's apprecilation
for you. Ah, I try to make friends with the boy,
give him five dollars out of the kindness and goodness
of my heart. Then it turned on me. Hmm, look
at that five dollars. I get the counterfeit. Well for
Andy and my friend, what's the difference. I don't need
(07:30):
no friends.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
Oh, yes you do, George.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Who's there? Who said that?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Wa?
Speaker 6 (07:36):
It's me, George, your conscience, my conscience?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
What did you bother me bout you?
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Wait a minute, no, George, when Andy walked out that door,
you lost your last friend.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well the what? Uh? I don't need no friends, George.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
There's a famous old saying. When you pass on and
no one mourns for you, you will never rest in peace.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah. I forgot about that, But there much steed. Some
of the boys that were moon from me when I'm going,
I don't think so joy holdly, mooks. I gotta find out. Hey,
I gotta make sure this. I got somebody in the
moon from me. I tell you my funeral was a flop.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Then I closed up by saying address all replies this
note care the County Morgue Box thirteen, signed to a
decreased brother, George Stephens. Day fish, I don't believe none
of this. You ain't gonna do away with yourself. No, well,
I've done it a long time ago. If I could
make up my mind which way to do it, Uh,
jumped off the George Wiston Bridge. Only the high altitude
(22:48):
gives me news bleeds. Then I was thinking of sticking
the exhaust pipe of water mobile in the mud, but
used car prices still too high. And then the last
thing I hit on was using the noose.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Listen, Kingfish, I still don't believe none of this. I
know you ain't gonna jump off a no bridge or
nothing like that.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
All right, na, but just do me one favor. He
was ever fishing in the East River and you feel
a heavy tug on the line, haulered inm gently, you
might have me by the seat on my pants. You
know that I ain't gonna listen to this Kingfish. I
was going huh I was showny. I ain't kidding. I
know exactly what I'll do. I'll leave for New Jersey
(23:25):
the night for three four days and hide out till
the boys come to their senses about me.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Amos, I's telling you. When the Kingfish showed me that
suicide not three days ago, I thought it was just
another one of his tricks.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Oh no, and they I think this thing is getting serious,
you know it. I ain't seen the Kingfish around for
three four days, and ain't nobody heard from him? Or
he disappeared all right?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I wonder if he took the Lodg's treasury along with
him as a traveling companion.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Oh no, no way that he can get the money
out of the large treasure. You know, we bought him
a new safe for the large But he's the only
one that don't know the combination and suicide. Yeah, what
what did that suicide note say that he read?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And well, he says he's gonna do away with himself Yeah,
he's saying it was figuring on jumping off the Brooklyn
Bridge into a exhaust pipe or.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Something into an exhaust pipe. Yeah, and with that pointed
ahead of his he might make it. Well, that's that's
the way he go end it all.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Well, he had some other ideas something, but let's see,
he was gonna take a noose and hang itself by
the seat of his pants, even.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Though the Kingfishers got us false and that we ought
to do something to find him before he gets a
chance to do something desperately. Yeah, but how we're gonna
get hold of him, Well, we'll offer a reward for
information that will help us find the Kingfish. I know
what we'll do in them. I'll put up five dollars,
You put up five dollars, and we'll get some of
the other members to chip in. Then we'll take two
hundred dollars out of the large treasury, and we'll put

Maybe she's right though. Yeah, I guess from now on
I would have started being nice land make up to
(03:28):
him for a lot of the things that undone to him. Yeah,
then I'll be his friend. Let's see how to do
a friend that. He's kind, He's polite, courteous, and honest
in his dealings. I'm getting into a whole new field. Here,
(03:49):
come in brother hand, the friend of my childhood? Who
are crazy about? Hell? Is it English? What is you
talking about? Oh? No, Nan, It just reminding you how
much I loved you and how much you loves me. Yeah,
let me put my mom mand Your boy that hauled
a kingfish? Now just a minute.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
The last time you had done that? When I went
out of here, my gold watch was missing.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh that was accident, And I remember your watch caught
on one of the buttons on my vest and I
didn't discover until I got to the pawn shop. Well,
keep away from me, king fish. Well, now, look, and
I don't blame you for being a little respicious. I
guess I well, I guess I sort of took advantage
of you a little in the past.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
A little since January, you've done sold me two gold bricks,
the Brooklyn Navy Yard and the Central Park Lake including
the ducks.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, I guess I did have a pretty big year.
And that's all over with now son as a change man.
And well, I turning over a new leaf. What you
mean by that? And I'll prove it to you. I'm
gonna start paying you back what I owes you. I
gonna do a lot of rest restituting, and I gonna
start off by tooting you this fight out of the bill.
(04:51):
You ain't even out the sun too long enough. No, no,
and it's all you was taking five dollars day. Yeah,
well thanks, Kingfish. I'll just put this fight dollars in
my wallet chair, Yeah, put the and naturally and there
you was my best friend. And I want to see
I want to say, uh say. And when you open
that wallet to put the money in, I notice a
flash of green in the You ain't saving four leaf clothes,
(05:13):
nothing like that in the bottom, Kingfish, that's two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I done drawt out the bank. I've been figuring on
buying some life insurance.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
With got two hundred dollars in there in your pocket book.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Hey, king fish, what's the matter with you? Your eyes just
lit up like the day lights of a Cadillac.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Take a chair, brother, and then pull your wallet up
to the table. Here. I want to talk to you.
And so you're figuring out taking out life insurance. Uh,
I guess you're tired of living. Huh? What you mean
by that? Well, and most people don't realize is but
life insurance is a tricky thing. It makes dying look
so attractive. You see how you figure well, any of
us say that you takes out of life insurance policy,
it pays five thousand dollars. When you passes on, you
(05:54):
ain't gonna be able to resist the temptation, the temptation
not you know that all you've got to do you
would become a wealthy man, is to kick the bucket. Yeah,
that's right. I wonder why they don't mention that in
that booklet they give you though, Oh, I tell you
the truth there and why in the last twenty years,
life insurance has made it Rigamart's more popular than gin rum.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, I never looked at it quite that way. I
was thinking about taking out one of them ten year policy.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Right now, there's another disadvantage. Say you take the ten
year policy. You got to pay to come to premiums
to ten years, don't you. Yeah, I guess I do.
I suppose you die in three years, Andy, you'd be
paying premium seven years after you was under the ground.
You see, Yeah, that's right. That don't sound too good. Now, Oh,
I'd give up the thought of insurance an you couldn't
pay the medicals am nowhere. I couldn't. No. And it's
(06:41):
just like automobile insurance. If the breaks and the tires
and the motor's bad, they won't give you no policy.
And right now you looks like a nineteen twelve Essex.
That's what you cow. Brother. And instead of throwing your
money away on life insurance, my advice to you is
to turn the two hundred dollars over to me for
investments in the Stevens hold Them company. I go tell you, Oh,
so that's your angle, huh.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I out of know there was something like that. Look,
King Fish, I'm getting out of here. Yours jip me
for the last time. I ain't gonna speak to you
no more than never.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Goodbye, good wait a minute, and there, m there's apprecilation
for you. Ah, I try to make friends with the boy,
give him five dollars out of the kindness and goodness
of my heart. Then it turned on me. Hmm, look
at that five dollars. I get the counterfeit. Well for
Andy and my friend, what's the difference. I don't need
(07:30):
no friends.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
Oh, yes you do, George.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Who's there? Who said that?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Wa?
Speaker 6 (07:36):
It's me, George, your conscience, my conscience?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
What did you bother me bout you?
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Wait a minute, no, George, when Andy walked out that door,
you lost your last friend.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well the what? Uh? I don't need no friends, George.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
There's a famous old saying. When you pass on and
no one mourns for you, you will never rest in peace.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah. I forgot about that, But there much steed. Some
of the boys that were moon from me when I'm going,
I don't think so joy holdly, mooks. I gotta find out. Hey,

First come in Brotherlanda, Oh you was in here. I

worry about me much longer, old pal, What do you
mean by that? Well? You remember what Shakespeare said to
(21:30):
be or not to be? Well, I don't decided not
to be. What is you talking about it? And I
found out my friends don't love me, so I was
gonna beat the grim reaper by reaping myself.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
That's what, Oh, King, You don't expect me to believe
you're gonna do away with yourself, do you?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Well? And it just so happens that I just finished
writing my suicide note, got it right here, suicide note,
that's right. I was just getting ready to take it
down to get it noudarized, to make it official. That's
what I better get out of your hanks. You. Of course,
it's gonna do a lot of blubbering. And uh, yeah,
I do understand they caused my friends is driving me
to it? Yeah, well go ahead read it out there,
(22:06):
read this thing? Who cares sauts out here says dear
friends and murderers. Hi, George Stevens being a sound mind,
and about the slaughter myself here byself farewell, please omit flowers.
I always suffered from hay fever and I ain't fooling neither.
Speaker 7 (22:23):

Then?
Speaker 1 (22:26):

Speaker 10 (22:27):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Then I closed up by saying address all replies this
note care the County Morgue Box thirteen, signed to a
decreased brother, George Stephens. Day fish, I don't believe none
of this. You ain't gonna do away with yourself. No, well,
I've done it a long time ago. If I could
make up my mind which way to do it, Uh,
jumped off the George Wiston Bridge. Only the high altitude
(22:48):
gives me news bleeds. Then I was thinking of sticking
the exhaust pipe of water mobile in the mud, but
used car prices still too high. And then the last
thing I hit on was using the noose.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Listen, Kingfish, I still don't believe none of this. I
know you ain't gonna jump off a no bridge or
nothing like that.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
All right, na, but just do me one favor. He
was ever fishing in the East River and you feel
a heavy tug on the line, haulered inm gently, you
might have me by the seat on my pants. You
know that I ain't gonna listen to this Kingfish. I
was going huh I was showny. I ain't kidding. I
know exactly what I'll do. I'll leave for New Jersey
(23:25):
the night for three four days and hide out till
the boys come to their senses about me.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Amos, I's telling you. When the Kingfish showed me that
suicide not three days ago, I thought it was just
another one of his tricks.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Oh no, and they I think this thing is getting serious,
you know it. I ain't seen the Kingfish around for
three four days, and ain't nobody heard from him? Or
he disappeared all right?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I wonder if he took the Lodg's treasury along with
him as a traveling companion.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Oh no, no way that he can get the money
out of the large treasure. You know, we bought him
a new safe for the large But he's the only
one that don't know the combination and suicide. Yeah, what
what did that suicide note say that he read?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And well, he says he's gonna do away with himself Yeah,
he's saying it was figuring on jumping off the Brooklyn
Bridge into a exhaust pipe or.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Something into an exhaust pipe. Yeah, and with that pointed
ahead of his he might make it. Well, that's that's
the way he go end it all.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Well, he had some other ideas something, but let's see,
he was gonna take a noose and hang itself by
the seat of his pants, even.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Though the Kingfishers got us false and that we ought
to do something to find him before he gets a
chance to do something desperately. Yeah, but how we're gonna
get hold of him, Well, we'll offer a reward for
information that will help us find the Kingfish. I know
what we'll do in them. I'll put up five dollars,
You put up five dollars, and we'll get some of
the other members to chip in. Then we'll take two
hundred dollars out of the large treasury, and we'll put
an ad in the newspaper offer the reward for the
