quite out of the question. Now what about the necklace,

Hem hem go away?
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Are there? Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
How are you sweet?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You know David Archer?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Don't you of course do sit down? Have you ordered? Colonel?
I'm banished.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I did. We were only waiting for you, my dear.
Speaker 9 (04:18):
No trouble, no, not a bit.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Everything went off splendidly.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Good David. That slap it was a little too realistic.
Don't ever do it again.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Well, look, I was only I'm taking five hundred out
of your cup for that. You're to follow orders, nothing else.
Speaker 9 (04:33):
Listen if you think you can get.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Away exactly the point, David, I do think you don't
tillif might have seen a scar on your wrist when
you slapped me, you've got a record you could be
identified by that.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Follow orders in the future. No, no, no, Trudren Quiet Holiday,
Do you understand, David?
Speaker 9 (04:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Sorry, all right?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
When are you disposing of the things, Halliday?
Speaker 10 (04:58):
I'm flying to send Francisco tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Good, today's the tenth. We'll meet at my flat on
the fifteenth, eight o'clock. That should give you enough time.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Row Ample, marar ample, David.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Where are you staying?
Speaker 9 (05:12):
Join on eighty fourth Street, off the Park.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
I think it would be better if you moved to
a hotel. Change your name too. Don't phone me, send
a note to the usual place.
Speaker 9 (05:21):
Sure.
Speaker 10 (05:22):
Ah, here we are dinner, the finest food in New York.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
My dear, just wait, you're sick.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
We had done much better than I thought we would,
although I didn't expect Halliday to sell for more than
forty thousand in San Francisco. I remember, as I brushed
my hair before going to bed that night, that I
felt almost sorry for mister Tilleth, but he was such
an old ruey. Next time he'd know better, wicked little eyes.
(06:02):
I didn't get up until eleven the next morning. It
was a wonderful day, bright and clear. I was having
my second cup of.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Coffee when yes, barn yes, just a moment. I'm awfully sorry.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
All right, miss Barnes, mac come in. My name's Boland.
Robbery detail?
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Well, I suppose so. I think you might have telephoned first.
Did you find the jewel?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Not yet? I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
I thought i'd answered them all yesterday.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Would you like some coffee?
Speaker 10 (06:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Thanks?
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Well please sit down. You make me feel awkward.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I'm sorry. Now you know a man named Archer, Miss Barnes,
David Archer.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
No, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
He was picked up this morning. We think that he
was one of the men in the robbery yesterday. Really
he was identified by a scar on his wrist. Mister
Tillot remembered it.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
How wonderful, But they were two men.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yes, we know. You're sure you don't know Archer.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
No, I'm positive I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
You've never met him.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
No, you sound as though you think I should.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Mister Bowen, you.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Were followed after the robbery, Miss Barnes, you want to
a rest on on East fifty third Street. You had
dinner there with two men. One of them was Archer.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
No, our man didn't know it his Archer until this
morning when mister Tilli clare Grass, who was identified the
detective who followed you, recognized Archer.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
I'm afraid you're mistaken, mister Bowen.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Were not. The whole thing was too nicely timed. Who
was the other man?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Really?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
All right, get dressed please, Miss Barnes shall have.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
To condant on am I under a wreck?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Let's say you're a material witness? It sounds better.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
I don't think I was frightened. I was terribly annoyed, though,
but at least they hadn't got Halliday. Mister Bolan questioned
me in a dirty little office at police headquarters. He
wasn't at all like a Scotland yard man. He smoked,
allowed me to smoke. His first name was Jack and
(08:27):
he was rather nice looking. Name Pamela Kittridge Barnes, age twenty.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Four, height and wait five feet four one hundred and nineteen.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Pounds scars remarks. No nationality British, no previous convictions none.
(09:06):
You know, we'll check with the other side on that.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
I imagine that you will. And when the questioning was
finished they released me. Perhaps mister Boland thought that I'd
lead him to Halliday. I didn't, but I got in
touch by telephone or.
Speaker 11 (09:26):
You just caught me.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I was on my way to the airport.
Speaker 10 (09:29):
Anything wrong.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
The police have arrested David. They questioned me this morning.
I'm free at the moment. Now look here, there's not
much time. I know they'll get in touch with Scotland
Yard about me, and when they do, I won't have a.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Chance, I suppose not.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
A couple of men followed me from police headquarters, so
I can't very well get away. But Halliday, yes, I
want to know where I can reach you later if
they put me away, so I can get my money well.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
As soon as I get back from seven Ciscuafonio. If
something's happened, the word will have got around. Now, don't worry.
Speaker 11 (10:04):
When you get out, the money will be waiting for you.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Where I'll get in touch.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I mustached out Darling.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
The plane all the best Halliday.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Good afternoon, miss Barnes.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Oh, mister Burne, I.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Thought just received the cable from Scotland yard about you.
I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to pack your.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Things this time. You're arresting me, aren't you. That's right,
David Archer got ten years. I spent two years, nine
months and fourteen days in prison, and I was nearly
(10:49):
twenty seven when I went back to New York.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
The first thing I did was to get my hair done.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Halliday hadn't been in touch with me, but I realized
it might have been too danger The police and the
insurance company were still looking for the jewels, so I
began to look for Halliday. I telephoned every hotel in
(11:18):
New York and every possible contact that Halliday might have had,
and at the end of a month, I knew what
had happened. He'd gone run out, leaving no word, and
my share of the money had gone with him.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Hello, it's bar.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Yes, my name is Robert Wiley.
Speaker 11 (11:47):
I'm downstairs in the bar.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I like to come up and talk to you with
your I don't think.
Speaker 11 (11:52):
I know you don't know me, but I've heard about you.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Oh, some people.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Have been saying that you're looking for somebody.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
People.
Speaker 11 (12:00):
Yeah, they say you're looking for someone called Halliday.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
Do they listen?
Speaker 11 (12:07):
I'm not a cop effort?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
You mean?
Speaker 11 (12:09):
Can I come up?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
I'm not in the habit of receiving strangers in my
hotel room, mister Wiley. If you'll wait a few minutes,
I'll come down.
Speaker 11 (12:15):
Okay, I'll wait for you here in the bar. What
are you'll be wearing?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
A great tweet code?
Speaker 10 (12:21):
Right?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
So long?
Speaker 12 (12:25):
M stay bele over there again? Yes, you you're English,
aren't you?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Yes, I thought so.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
How clever of you you.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Too, I was.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
What was it you wanted to see me about a deal?
What kind of a deal?
Speaker 7 (12:44):
I'll sell you? Colonel Halliday?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
You know where he is.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
I haven't any money, but you will have when you
find Haliday.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Who told you about me?
Speaker 6 (12:56):
About Halliday?
Speaker 12 (12:58):
Halliday, I've been looking for him, at least I was
up until a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
We didn't agree on a couple of things and he
ended up double crossing me.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
How much do you want fifty fifteen partners? Too much,
mister Wiley, Much too much?
Speaker 12 (13:14):
I don't think so. Helliday is a big shot now
you're going to need help. You couldn't do it like me.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Did he tell you how much he got for the job?
Speaker 7 (13:22):
fIF?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Now that is he?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
All right?
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Where is he?
Speaker 7 (13:31):
Partners?
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yes? Where is he? Mister Wyley?
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Of course there's one little thing.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
What's then?
Speaker 7 (13:38):
He said if you ever saw me again, he'd kill me.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Isn't that going to make it rather awkward? I mean
for you?
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Well it might unless well that's where you come in.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Exactly how do I come in, mister Wiley?
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Well?
Speaker 12 (13:53):
I thought it might be awkward the helliday to knocked
me up if we get to him.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Fis In other words, before you tell me where he is,
I have to agree to help you kill him.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Is that the idea?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
If you want your dough, that's the idea.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
I want my dough.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Mister Way, where is he?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Auto Light is bringing you Miss Deborah car in the
Lady Pamela Tonight's production in radios Outstanding Theater of Prills,
South Spence. Hey, Sam, you really go for the exclusive
(14:52):
auto light plug check Indicator.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
Eh?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Sure do, mister Wilcox. It's a quick sure check on
the exact condition of your car's spark plugs. I go
for that plug check indicator, just like drivers go for
those great auto lighte spark plugs, and great is right, Sam,
for those ignition engineered Autolte spark plugs are designed by
the same auto light engineers who design the coil distributor
(15:14):
and all the other important parts of complete ignition systems
used as original factory equipment on many leading makes of
our finest cars, trucks and trackers. And boy, that auto
light resistor type spark plug is really something.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
It's your, is Sam.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
The new autolight resistor type gives double life and greater
gas savings as compared to spark plugs without a built
in resistor, and it's only one of a complete line
of ignition engineered Autolite spark plugs designed for every use.
So have your Autolite spark plug dealer check your spark
plugs soon, and remember, from bumper to tail light, you're
(15:50):
always right with Autolite. And now Autolite brings back to
our Hollywood sound stage, Miss Deborah car in Elliott Lewis's
production Love the Lady Pamela, a dramatic report well calculated
to keep you in South Spend.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Halliday was in London and a week after our meeting
Robert Wiley and I booked passage on the first steamer.
It was the second day of our departure. I remember
the night, lovely and clear. Wiley had gone to buy
a packet of cigarettes. I was leaning over the rail,
watching the flashes of phosphorus, and the water was endless.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
You want to be careful leaning over the rail like that.
It's beautiful and I wouldn't want to be in it.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Can't you swim? Mister Wiley?
Speaker 7 (16:56):
O listen, MA, lets me get that Wiley stuff bob.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
How does a girl like you get mixed up with Halliday?
Speaker 6 (17:05):
I wasn't mixed up with him. He was mixed up
with me. There's a difference.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
He worked for you, that's right?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Not at all?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Why should I?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
But he says you're the funt girl and he worked
out the deal.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
The colonel used to be an actor. I don't think
he can bear a second billing.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
You're quite a girl, and.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Are you quite a boy?
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I've been al I say why.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
I know you feel because you're a man, you have
to behave like one. But don't ever do that again.
I get I have no intention of letting you. You
better understand this. You and I have a business arrangement.
I want my money, You want to take care of
the colonel. We'll keep to that.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Okay, don't you ever relax?
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I relaxed for two years, nine months and fourteen days
in prison, like working.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Now do you.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Understand, no, that that's the way you wondered?
Speaker 5 (18:04):
It is?
Speaker 6 (18:06):
And if you ever try to touch me again, we
have finished. Three days later we were in London. We
found a nondescript hotel in Chelsea and laid dogo for
a time. It wasn't going to be easy. The Colonel
was a very top dog in black Market, and we
(18:27):
both knew that if he ever found out that Wiley
was in England, there'd be trouble. It was Wiley's idea
that I go to see him in his flat, but
I thought an accidental meeting would be better, and so
we planned it that way. I bumped into the Colonel
at Piccadilly Circus.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Oh, thank your pardon, I'm so sorry, Hell, I say
it is.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
You, Colonel, I know I dear Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Marvel, I mean Marvel, how long have you been over?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Only a few weeks?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Oh Marvel?
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Your lovely is ever lovely, Lucia. Could we have a
cocktail together for overall time? I'd love to, Oh, marvel,
how about Scott's.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
They know me there.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
We went to Scott's, and on the way he prattled
about England, his England, and of the old days in America,
and it was all quite respectable talk. The colonel was
a striking man, wore his clothes beautifully and walked with
a carriage you'd expect from a man who looked like that.
They knew him very well. In the restaurant, I began
(19:38):
to see that this was not the same holiday I
had known three years before. We sipped our drinks, and
it was all.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Like a very exciting play.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
He knew I was going to ask him about the
money from the robbery, and I knew that my partner
was going to kill him.
Speaker 10 (19:57):
The things are not quite the way they were, although
I suppose one put up with it mo than one.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
You seem to have done nicely, Colonel.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Oh, my lovely girl. It's all a matter of comparison.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Purely comparison to the jobs we used to do. On
the other side.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
Oh, darling, those are trifles. I have no time for
such a nonsense.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Now neither have I. What did you do with the jewels?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Jewel?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Yes, the ones we got from Tillis. Remember you went
to San Francisco.
Speaker 10 (20:27):
I of course, what a marvelous memory was Miles, isn't it?
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
A bad show. I'm afraid I was high gacked.
Speaker 10 (20:38):
As our American cousin so quaintly put it.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Who did it?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I don't know. It happened in San Francisco. Oh.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
And then when I heard what had happened to you
and Archer, I gave up and came home to England.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
You were awfully lucky, weren't you. Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Really?
Speaker 6 (20:57):
Now it's strange because I heard that you got fifty
thousand dollars in San Francisco? No, yes, rot who said so?
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Wiley? Robert Wiley?
Speaker 9 (21:11):
Wiley?
Speaker 7 (21:13):
And who is Robert Wiley?
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (21:16):
What's the use of all that? Colonel? You know very well?
Speaker 10 (21:18):
As a matter of fact, I have the slightest idea
of what you're talking about. I gather that I'm supposed
to be on close terms with this is Wiley chair,
That's right, I see. Well you can only believe one
of us, can't you? And I tell you I have
never even heard of the man.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
I do know you better than I know him, Colonel.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Then you take my word.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
No, I take his. I'd like my share, Halliday, I
don't trust I want my share.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
What can I say? I know what you've been through.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
I think of poor Archer's still incarcerated. But on my
word of honor, Pam, I didn't get a brass father.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I want my money.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Now you're two marvelous.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
I mean it, darling.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
Girl, things have changed, you know over sure. I'm the man.
I don't take orders anymore. And if I did, it
wouldn't be from a woman, certainly not from you, Pam,
or much too emancipated even for me.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
I think I would have killed him then in Scott's
if I'd had a gun or a knife, I would
have killed him. And as I walked to the underground station,
I did something I can never remember having done before.
I cried.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
When I got back to the hotel, I went to
Wiley's room and told him what had happened.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
We were agreed we would have to work fast, and
so that night we went to Halliday's flat.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Pam, may I speak to you for a minute?
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Oh sorry, hello colonel here girl, how are you coming, coming,
thanks twice in one day.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
You surprised me, Pam, but then you always did just
out and you're a young.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Man her drinks?
Speaker 5 (23:28):
No, thank you?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Well, then what should we talk about you?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I say, in front of this gentleman? You know you
haven't introduced me?
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I never kid?
Speaker 5 (23:40):
You're a rotten liar?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I maybe, but I should still like to know.
Speaker 10 (23:45):
Oh, this must be a Robert Wiley?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Am I right?
Speaker 7 (23:51):
You're not much point of this?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
No, I want my money, Halliday.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
And what do you want?
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Wiley? Never mind?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
This is almost funny.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
I don't know what you're up to, but I've really
never seen this chat before in my life.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
You think you're going to believe that?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Probably not.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
You can give me archer's share too.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
Thought love you and you'll see that he gets it,
won't Yes, come on, come on the money?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Tell me?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Why then?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Where did we know each other? When?
Speaker 7 (24:21):
What do you think you're going to do? Play me
up against he all?
Speaker 5 (24:25):
I'm just interested, colonel. When you open the state, please
be careful.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
Oh a god, now eh, yes, I underestimated your my dear.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I shouldn't have done that. Huh. You will have to
take it in pounds.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
You know that's all right.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Poor archer. I wonder if you look for you when
he gets out.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
He might hurry up.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Please, will you tell me one thing?
Speaker 3 (24:59):
What?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Who is this man really handed?
Speaker 11 (25:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Why are you afraid to let me talk? Mister Wiley?
Don't you want her to find out the truth?
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Give me the money?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Look out for Pam dere. I don't know what he's
been telling you, but.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I'm going to tell you something now.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
I swore to myself that if I ever found you,
i'd pay you out for what you did to me.
I'd get my money and i'd pay you. I'm going
to colonel. He wants to.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Do it, but I owe you more.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
Pam.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
No, Shamma, Oh silly, i been telling you the truth. Pamma.
I've never seen him in my life. Why did you
have to do that because I wanted to?
Speaker 7 (25:43):
You must be crazy.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Come on, you're not going anywhere, so stop it. Come on,
you stay right there.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
I've got to call the police.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Police.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Yes, maybe you should have listened to him.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
What do you mean.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
I'm with International Insurance Company in New York office. We
knew the jewels had been sold, but we wanted to
recover as much of the money as we could. You
didn't know him, No, I knew you'd be looking for
him when you got out. We wanted to get you
both together.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Don't wait a moment on the boat coming over. Remember
you wanted to kiss me. Perhaps I've changed.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
My mind now I think I have too. I don't
think we'd be happy together. You're not exactly my idea
of the idea of what you know.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
If I ever get out, I'm going to kill you.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
If you ever get out, I deserve to get killed. Hello, God,
on God, I want to report a murder. Sull spends

Speaker 7 (04:03):
Are there? Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
How are you sweet?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You know David Archer?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Don't you of course do sit down? Have you ordered? Colonel?
I'm banished.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I did. We were only waiting for you, my dear.
Speaker 9 (04:18):
No trouble, no, not a bit.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Everything went off splendidly.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Good David. That slap it was a little too realistic.
Don't ever do it again.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Well, look, I was only I'm taking five hundred out
of your cup for that. You're to follow orders, nothing else.
Speaker 9 (04:33):
Listen if you think you can get.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Away exactly the point, David, I do think you don't
tillif might have seen a scar on your wrist when
you slapped me, you've got a record you could be
identified by that.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Follow orders in the future. No, no, no, Trudren Quiet Holiday,
Do you understand, David?
Speaker 9 (04:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Sorry, all right?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
When are you disposing of the things, Halliday?
Speaker 10 (04:58):
I'm flying to send Francisco tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Good, today's the tenth. We'll meet at my flat on
the fifteenth, eight o'clock. That should give you enough time.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Row Ample, marar ample, David.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Where are you staying?
Speaker 9 (05:12):
Join on eighty fourth Street, off the Park.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
I think it would be better if you moved to
a hotel. Change your name too. Don't phone me, send
a note to the usual place.
Speaker 9 (05:21):
Sure.
Speaker 10 (05:22):
Ah, here we are dinner, the finest food in New York.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
My dear, just wait, you're sick.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
We had done much better than I thought we would,
although I didn't expect Halliday to sell for more than
forty thousand in San Francisco. I remember, as I brushed
my hair before going to bed that night, that I
felt almost sorry for mister Tilleth, but he was such
an old ruey. Next time he'd know better, wicked little eyes.
(06:02):
I didn't get up until eleven the next morning. It
was a wonderful day, bright and clear. I was having
my second cup of.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Coffee when yes, barn yes, just a moment. I'm awfully sorry.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
All right, miss Barnes, mac come in. My name's Boland.
Robbery detail?
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Well, I suppose so. I think you might have telephoned first.
Did you find the jewel?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Not yet? I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
I thought i'd answered them all yesterday.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Would you like some coffee?
Speaker 10 (06:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Thanks?
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Well please sit down. You make me feel awkward.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I'm sorry. Now you know a man named Archer, Miss Barnes,
David Archer.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
No, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
He was picked up this morning. We think that he
was one of the men in the robbery yesterday. Really
he was identified by a scar on his wrist. Mister
Tillot remembered it.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
How wonderful, But they were two men.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yes, we know. You're sure you don't know Archer.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
No, I'm positive I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
You've never met him.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
No, you sound as though you think I should.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Mister Bowen, you.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Were followed after the robbery, Miss Barnes, you want to
a rest on on East fifty third Street. You had
dinner there with two men. One of them was Archer.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
No, our man didn't know it his Archer until this
morning when mister Tilli clare Grass, who was identified the
detective who followed you, recognized Archer.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
I'm afraid you're mistaken, mister Bowen.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Were not. The whole thing was too nicely timed. Who
was the other man?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Really?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
All right, get dressed please, Miss Barnes shall have.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
To condant on am I under a wreck?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Let's say you're a material witness? It sounds better.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
I don't think I was frightened. I was terribly annoyed, though,
but at least they hadn't got Halliday. Mister Bolan questioned
me in a dirty little office at police headquarters. He
wasn't at all like a Scotland yard man. He smoked,
allowed me to smoke. His first name was Jack and
(08:27):
he was rather nice looking. Name Pamela Kittridge Barnes, age twenty.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Four, height and wait five feet four one hundred and nineteen.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Pounds scars remarks. No nationality British, no previous convictions none.
(09:06):
You know, we'll check with the other side on that.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
I imagine that you will. And when the questioning was
finished they released me. Perhaps mister Boland thought that I'd
lead him to Halliday. I didn't, but I got in
touch by telephone or.
Speaker 11 (09:26):
You just caught me.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I was on my way to the airport.
Speaker 10 (09:29):
Anything wrong.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
The police have arrested David. They questioned me this morning.
I'm free at the moment. Now look here, there's not
much time. I know they'll get in touch with Scotland
Yard about me, and when they do, I won't have a.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Chance, I suppose not.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
A couple of men followed me from police headquarters, so
I can't very well get away. But Halliday, yes, I
want to know where I can reach you later if
they put me away, so I can get my money well.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
As soon as I get back from seven Ciscuafonio. If
something's happened, the word will have got around. Now, don't worry.
Speaker 11 (10:04):
When you get out, the money will be waiting for you.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Where I'll get in touch.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I mustached out Darling.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
The plane all the best Halliday.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Good afternoon, miss Barnes.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
Oh, mister Burne, I.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Thought just received the cable from Scotland yard about you.
I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to pack your.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Things this time. You're arresting me, aren't you. That's right,
David Archer got ten years. I spent two years, nine
months and fourteen days in prison, and I was nearly
(10:49):
twenty seven when I went back to New York.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
The first thing I did was to get my hair done.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Halliday hadn't been in touch with me, but I realized
it might have been too danger The police and the
insurance company were still looking for the jewels, so I
began to look for Halliday. I telephoned every hotel in
(11:18):
New York and every possible contact that Halliday might have had,
and at the end of a month, I knew what
had happened. He'd gone run out, leaving no word, and
my share of the money had gone with him.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Hello, it's bar.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Yes, my name is Robert Wiley.
Speaker 11 (11:47):
I'm downstairs in the bar.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I like to come up and talk to you with
your I don't think.
Speaker 11 (11:52):
I know you don't know me, but I've heard about you.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Oh, some people.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Have been saying that you're looking for somebody.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
People.
Speaker 11 (12:00):
Yeah, they say you're looking for someone called Halliday.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
Do they listen?
Speaker 11 (12:07):
I'm not a cop effort?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
You mean?
Speaker 11 (12:09):
Can I come up?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
I'm not in the habit of receiving strangers in my
hotel room, mister Wiley. If you'll wait a few minutes,
I'll come down.
Speaker 11 (12:15):
Okay, I'll wait for you here in the bar. What
are you'll be wearing?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
A great tweet code?
Speaker 10 (12:21):
Right?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
So long?
Speaker 12 (12:25):
M stay bele over there again? Yes, you you're English,
aren't you?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Yes, I thought so.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
How clever of you you.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Too, I was.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
What was it you wanted to see me about a deal?
What kind of a deal?
Speaker 7 (12:44):
I'll sell you? Colonel Halliday?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
You know where he is.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
I haven't any money, but you will have when you
find Haliday.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Who told you about me?
Speaker 6 (12:56):
About Halliday?
Speaker 12 (12:58):
Halliday, I've been looking for him, at least I was
up until a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
We didn't agree on a couple of things and he
ended up double crossing me.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
How much do you want fifty fifteen partners? Too much,
mister Wiley, Much too much?
Speaker 12 (13:14):
I don't think so. Helliday is a big shot now
you're going to need help. You couldn't do it like me.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Did he tell you how much he got for the job?
Speaker 7 (13:22):
fIF?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Now that is he?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
All right?
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Where is he?
Speaker 7 (13:31):
Partners?
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yes? Where is he? Mister Wyley?
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Of course there's one little thing.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
What's then?
Speaker 7 (13:38):
He said if you ever saw me again, he'd kill me.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Isn't that going to make it rather awkward? I mean
for you?
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Well it might unless well that's where you come in.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Exactly how do I come in, mister Wiley?
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Well?
Speaker 12 (13:53):
I thought it might be awkward the helliday to knocked
me up if we get to him.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Fis In other words, before you tell me where he is,
I have to agree to help you kill him.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Is that the idea?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
If you want your dough, that's the idea.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
I want my dough.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Mister Way, where is he?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Auto Light is bringing you Miss Deborah car in the
Lady Pamela Tonight's production in radios Outstanding Theater of Prills,
South Spence. Hey, Sam, you really go for the exclusive
(14:52):
auto light plug check Indicator.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
Eh?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Sure do, mister Wilcox. It's a quick sure check on
the exact condition of your car's spark plugs. I go
for that plug check indicator, just like drivers go for
those great auto lighte spark plugs, and great is right, Sam,
for those ignition engineered Autolte spark plugs are designed by
the same auto light engineers who design the coil distributor
(15:14):
and all the other important parts of complete ignition systems
used as original factory equipment on many leading makes of
our finest cars, trucks and trackers. And boy, that auto
light resistor type spark plug is really something.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
It's your, is Sam.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
The new autolight resistor type gives double life and greater
gas savings as compared to spark plugs without a built
in resistor, and it's only one of a complete line
of ignition engineered Autolite spark plugs designed for every use.
So have your Autolite spark plug dealer check your spark
plugs soon, and remember, from bumper to tail light, you're
(15:50):
always right with Autolite. And now Autolite brings back to
our Hollywood sound stage, Miss Deborah car in Elliott Lewis's
production Love the Lady Pamela, a dramatic report well calculated
to keep you in South Spend.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Halliday was in London and a week after our meeting
Robert Wiley and I booked passage on the first steamer.
It was the second day of our departure. I remember
the night, lovely and clear. Wiley had gone to buy
a packet of cigarettes. I was leaning over the rail,
watching the flashes of phosphorus, and the water was endless.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
You want to be careful leaning over the rail like that.
It's beautiful and I wouldn't want to be in it.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Can't you swim? Mister Wiley?
Speaker 7 (16:56):
O listen, MA, lets me get that Wiley stuff bob.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
How does a girl like you get mixed up with Halliday?
Speaker 6 (17:05):
I wasn't mixed up with him. He was mixed up
with me. There's a difference.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
He worked for you, that's right?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Not at all?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Why should I?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
But he says you're the funt girl and he worked
out the deal.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
The colonel used to be an actor. I don't think
he can bear a second billing.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
You're quite a girl, and.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Are you quite a boy?
Speaker 7 (17:29):
I've been al I say why.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
I know you feel because you're a man, you have
to behave like one. But don't ever do that again.
I get I have no intention of letting you. You
better understand this. You and I have a business arrangement.
I want my money, You want to take care of
the colonel. We'll keep to that.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Okay, don't you ever relax?
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I relaxed for two years, nine months and fourteen days
in prison, like working.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Now do you.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Understand, no, that that's the way you wondered?
Speaker 5 (18:04):
It is?
Speaker 6 (18:06):
And if you ever try to touch me again, we
have finished. Three days later we were in London. We
found a nondescript hotel in Chelsea and laid dogo for
a time. It wasn't going to be easy. The Colonel
was a very top dog in black Market, and we
(18:27):
both knew that if he ever found out that Wiley
was in England, there'd be trouble. It was Wiley's idea
that I go to see him in his flat, but
I thought an accidental meeting would be better, and so
we planned it that way. I bumped into the Colonel
at Piccadilly Circus.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Oh, thank your pardon, I'm so sorry, Hell, I say
it is.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
You, Colonel, I know I dear Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Marvel, I mean Marvel, how long have you been over?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Only a few weeks?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Oh Marvel?
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Your lovely is ever lovely, Lucia. Could we have a
cocktail together for overall time? I'd love to, Oh, marvel,
how about Scott's.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
They know me there.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
We went to Scott's, and on the way he prattled
about England, his England, and of the old days in America,
and it was all quite respectable talk. The colonel was
a striking man, wore his clothes beautifully and walked with
a carriage you'd expect from a man who looked like that.
They knew him very well. In the restaurant, I began
(19:38):
to see that this was not the same holiday I
had known three years before. We sipped our drinks, and
it was all.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Like a very exciting play.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
He knew I was going to ask him about the
money from the robbery, and I knew that my partner
was going to kill him.
Speaker 10 (19:57):
The things are not quite the way they were, although
I suppose one put up with it mo than one.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
You seem to have done nicely, Colonel.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Oh, my lovely girl. It's all a matter of comparison.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Purely comparison to the jobs we used to do. On
the other side.
Speaker 10 (20:11):
Oh, darling, those are trifles. I have no time for
such a nonsense.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Now neither have I. What did you do with the jewels?
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Jewel?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Yes, the ones we got from Tillis. Remember you went
to San Francisco.
Speaker 10 (20:27):
I of course, what a marvelous memory was Miles, isn't it?
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
A bad show. I'm afraid I was high gacked.
Speaker 10 (20:38):
As our American cousin so quaintly put it.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Who did it?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I don't know. It happened in San Francisco. Oh.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
And then when I heard what had happened to you
and Archer, I gave up and came home to England.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
You were awfully lucky, weren't you. Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Really?
Speaker 6 (20:57):
Now it's strange because I heard that you got fifty
thousand dollars in San Francisco? No, yes, rot who said so?
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Wiley? Robert Wiley?
Speaker 9 (21:11):
Wiley?
Speaker 7 (21:13):
And who is Robert Wiley?
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (21:16):
What's the use of all that? Colonel? You know very well?
Speaker 10 (21:18):
As a matter of fact, I have the slightest idea
of what you're talking about. I gather that I'm supposed
to be on close terms with this is Wiley chair,
That's right, I see. Well you can only believe one
of us, can't you? And I tell you I have
never even heard of the man.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
I do know you better than I know him, Colonel.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Then you take my word.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
No, I take his. I'd like my share, Halliday, I
don't trust I want my share.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
What can I say? I know what you've been through.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
I think of poor Archer's still incarcerated. But on my
word of honor, Pam, I didn't get a brass father.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I want my money.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Now you're two marvelous.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
I mean it, darling.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
Girl, things have changed, you know over sure. I'm the man.
I don't take orders anymore. And if I did, it
wouldn't be from a woman, certainly not from you, Pam,
or much too emancipated even for me.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
I think I would have killed him then in Scott's
if I'd had a gun or a knife, I would
have killed him. And as I walked to the underground station,
I did something I can never remember having done before.
I cried.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
When I got back to the hotel, I went to
Wiley's room and told him what had happened.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
We were agreed we would have to work fast, and
so that night we went to Halliday's flat.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Pam, may I speak to you for a minute?
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Oh sorry, hello colonel here girl, how are you coming, coming,
thanks twice in one day.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
You surprised me, Pam, but then you always did just
out and you're a young.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Man her drinks?
Speaker 5 (23:28):
No, thank you?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Well, then what should we talk about you?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I say, in front of this gentleman? You know you
haven't introduced me?
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I never kid?
Speaker 5 (23:40):
You're a rotten liar?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I maybe, but I should still like to know.
Speaker 10 (23:45):
Oh, this must be a Robert Wiley?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Am I right?
Speaker 7 (23:51):
You're not much point of this?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
No, I want my money, Halliday.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
And what do you want?
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Wiley? Never mind?
Speaker 2 (23:59):
This is almost funny.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
I don't know what you're up to, but I've really
never seen this chat before in my life.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
You think you're going to believe that?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Probably not.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
You can give me archer's share too.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
Thought love you and you'll see that he gets it,
won't Yes, come on, come on the money?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Tell me?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Why then?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Where did we know each other? When?
Speaker 7 (24:21):
What do you think you're going to do? Play me
up against he all?
Speaker 5 (24:25):
I'm just interested, colonel. When you open the state, please
be careful.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
Oh a god, now eh, yes, I underestimated your my dear.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I shouldn't have done that. Huh. You will have to
take it in pounds.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
You know that's all right.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Poor archer. I wonder if you look for you when
he gets out.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
He might hurry up.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Please, will you tell me one thing?
Speaker 3 (24:59):
What?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Who is this man really handed?
Speaker 11 (25:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Why are you afraid to let me talk? Mister Wiley?
Don't you want her to find out the truth?
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Give me the money?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Look out for Pam dere. I don't know what he's
been telling you, but.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I'm going to tell you something now.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
I swore to myself that if I ever found you,
i'd pay you out for what you did to me.
I'd get my money and i'd pay you. I'm going
to colonel. He wants to.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Do it, but I owe you more.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
Pam.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
No, Shamma, Oh silly, i been telling you the truth. Pamma.
I've never seen him in my life. Why did you
have to do that because I wanted to?
Speaker 7 (25:43):
You must be crazy.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Come on, you're not going anywhere, so stop it. Come on,
you stay right there.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
I've got to call the police.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Police.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Yes, maybe you should have listened to him.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
What do you mean.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
I'm with International Insurance Company in New York office. We
knew the jewels had been sold, but we wanted to
recover as much of the money as we could. You
didn't know him, No, I knew you'd be looking for
him when you got out. We wanted to get you
both together.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Don't wait a moment on the boat coming over. Remember
you wanted to kiss me. Perhaps I've changed.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
My mind now I think I have too. I don't
think we'd be happy together. You're not exactly my idea
of the idea of what you know.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
If I ever get out, I'm going to kill you.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
