The Amazing Mister Malone.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Operator Operator, Get Me the Office of John J. Malone.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
The National Broadcasting Company presents The Amazing Mister Malone, an
exciting half hour of mystery, starring George Petrie as the
lawyer who's practiced before every type of bar has.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Become a legend.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Our locale is the city of Chicago, the time, the present,
and the hero of these weekly adventures, the Amazing Mister Malone.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Malone's name John J.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Malone, Attorney and cost a law Tonight. In our study
of the cliche, let's explore the possibilities of haste maketh waste.
There's a case in point. I give you Dutch Schneider.
Dutch is the solid looking citizen behind the mahogany desk
at the Belvidere Club. He's a gambler by professional. That
doesn't mean he takes chances.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Dutch likes to play at nice and safe.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
That probably explains why he stares with obvious disbelief at
a light on his desk, which flicks on and off
with appropriate sound effects. O'Neil, Yeah, what's going on out there?
Just what you think, Dutch? It's a raid a they're
doing any damage. We can't you hear it? No, I'll
take my word for it. They're playing awful rough. I'm
glad they're having fun.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Who's in charge? Never mind, O'Neil.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Do you want to see me? Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
What's your name?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Officer Brooks? Lieutenant Sidney Brooks? Why wasn't I notified of
this raid? Would you mind repeating that? Please? I asked
why I wasn't warned? Your boys must have done at
least one hundred thousand dollars worth of damage.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Oh easy, you know who's going to pay for it?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Who you on my salary? Don't be silly, O'Neil.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
What is it, Dutch? Get me off a Hall on
the phone?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh now I get it. Is Arthur Hall, your lawyer.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
You know this is the funniest thing I've heard yet
you think so? I know so? So he clipped you too.
I'm surprised at you, Dutch.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I'll bet author soldio bill of goods. He could keep
us out of your head if you paid off to him. Well, well,
he was kidding you.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Arthur Hall has as much influence in Chicago as my
brother in law, and even with me on the force,
he can't get himself for risk.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well, if Hall was bluffing, why wasn't my club knocked
off before?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Oh you're just lucky, Dutch. We're understaffed. We didn't get
a round to you.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I see.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I can't get over it, Arthur Hall clipping a hip
character like you.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You're right, Throeutenant.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It is funny, but you'll pardon me if I don't
laugh right now.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
The joke seems to be on me.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yes, I was attaining the office, Peggy fighting chancey your phone,
Dutch Schneider has been trying to reach you all evening?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Did he call here?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
You know?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Ard I got the audio, was a little annoyed with you.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well what did he say?
Speaker 6 (03:29):
It wasn't what he said, Darling, was the way he
said it?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Listen, Peg, I leave town for a few days. Yeah,
something's something has just come up. Remember the Marris estate.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
So you don't have to explain. You know, I trust
you implicitly when a you're leaving.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I'm taking the super chief to Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Oh that explains it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
That explains what why they called.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
And confirmed your reservation to Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Well, I made a mistake.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Well, I have fun, Darling, if there's anything I can
do for you here.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, there is. I want you to sign this paper
to see I had nothing to be concerned about here
on this first line here.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Didn't you want to tell me never to sign anything
without reading it? Well, this is to acknowledge that I
Peggy Hall here.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Now, Peggy here.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I'm shocked, utterly and completely shocked. Well, I couldn't sign
anything like this if I did. All the bonds and
money you put in my name of revert back to you.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It's my money in bunds.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Isn't it.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Oh sweetheart, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want to
see you penniless in Saint Louis. Pardon Los Angeles. I
suppose I write out a check for twenty five times.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Now listen, Peggy, No use arguing or.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think I'm being very generous.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
After all, I'm not obliged to give you anything.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You did a little double cross it. Just what do
you think you're doing? It's not nice?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Arthur Huh, I said, that's not nice.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Hello Peggy, Hello Dutch. What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
A couple of things I want to take up with you.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Would you mind leaving us alone for a little while
missus Hall, it would be no Peggy come back.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
That's a swell girl. You've got there now, I know
what you're going to say. That's good. Then I won't
have to say it. It was a slip off. You see.
I've been on the phone all day. Those boys had
no right to raid your place, but they did.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well. I've gotten a point to talk to the commissioner tomorrow.
I don't see how you're going to manage it.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Wow, what do you mean.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well to talk properly? You should have teeth and comes tomorrow, Arthur.
I don't think you're going to have many left.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Come in, are you, George Kelly? Mm hm, I'm off
the hall.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I spoke to you on the phone.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh yeah, it's nothing with you. In a minute. I've
got to hear this record on a lovel I'm a
busy man.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
If you're in a hurry, mister Hall, you better take
your business elsewhere.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Well, I'll wait.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
That's the ticket. Hmm.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
It's pretty, isn't it. It's debut saved.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
You know what's responsible for most of the troubles in
this world, mister Hall. People assigned the wrong vanue to things.
I'll take music for example, that's important because there is
a common denominator.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Look, KALKI didn't come here for a lecture.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
There's no extra charge, all right, Hall? What can I
do for you?
Speaker 8 (06:29):
Want to do a job for me, not particularly what
I'm a craftsman, mister Hall. I only accept commissions I like.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I'll pay you five hundred dollars. You're not even in
my register. You'll have to go higher a thousand. It's
a little better. Have the money right on you now.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Well, yes, but it's all I have at the moment.
It's enough for me, all right, four six eight. Now,
what's the name of your party?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Dutch Schneider?
Speaker 8 (06:59):
You know only by reputation. He the one who bounced
you around.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's my business.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
As you say, mister Hall, that's your business. So if
you'll allow me, I'll be getting down to mine.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Est a minute.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yes, are you Dutch Schneider? That's right. Kelk's my name,
Georgie Kelk. Kelk have not heard that name before, and
I don't know. Have you for sure?
Speaker 8 (07:44):
You're the We'll go on Dutch.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You won't hurt my feelings.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'd rather not take any chances.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Frankly, it won't make much difference. Sit down, you might
if I smoke? Hum m here try my brand, the
King's Sons.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Well, if nothing else, it'll give me a little more time.
Good match, sure, catch? Thanks? Well? Where do I get it? Kelk?
What's wrong with right here? Aren't you afraid of the noise?
Speaker 8 (08:18):
I guess you didn't notice the silencer on this baby?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Excuse me for trying to tell you your business.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's quite all right.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You don't mind talking, not at all. How'd you find
me here anyway? Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
It took me a couple of hours, but I managed.
What is this a uh hideaway? Yes? Nice place? Oh
you're phonograph mm hm? Whose records? My mind? See you
go in for the classical?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Whose album is that you've got?
Speaker 7 (08:48):
On?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
The Tchekowsky piano Concerto? Rubinstein? Ever hear Horowitz play? I
like Rubinstein's better? Has you got a lot more fire? Oh?
You're out of your mind?
Speaker 8 (08:56):
No one can touch Horrowitz when it comes to execution.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You ought to know it's all right?
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Say tell me something, dunce. Why is it the nice
guys always get it?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
There's no reason why they should look Kelk. I don't
want to insult you, but Uh, can't we talk this
all then? I'm afraid not well, I know who puts
you up to it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It was off a Hall. What difference does that make?
A lot?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You have nothing in common with Hall. Wouldn't you rather
work for me?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Definitely? But it's too late now.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Why you can't tell me that you're afraid of Hall?
And I don't know what he gave you, but I'll
pay you ten thousand dollars for that gun fully loaded?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
M I don't know Duns.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Never done anything like this before, and if I did now,
I wouldn't want you to think that the money you're
offering had any effect on my decision.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Oh of course not. There was something.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
About that fellow Hall that just rubbed me the wrong way,
all right, don't you get the doll.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
It was just one of those things, just one of
those crazy things, one of those bells that now and
then rang, Just one of those.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Don't stop on my account, miss Malone. I think you've
seen real pretty well.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I always say a pretty girl as there was a
pretty tune. Imagine coming into my office and finding you.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
How'd you get in here? Anyway?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I told the superintendent I would defended you.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Good for you I'm glad you made yourself at home.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
You don't mind my taking off my shoes, not a bit.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'd like to see people comfortable.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
You want to get some better reading materials?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh, you don't care for Professor wigmore on evidence?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I thought it was pretty dull.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
There's a racing for me overlook, No, I didn't this
last week.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Oh, I'm terribly sorry, miss Haul.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Peggy Hall.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Only it's missus now I'm the one to be sorry.
Shall I put my shoes?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Why be formal?
Speaker 6 (11:08):
You know, Malone, you're a welcome change for most of
the lawyers.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I know you know many.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I've got one in the family, Arthur Hall.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Do you hear of them?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Unfortunately he's my husband.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Oh I once heard him say he'd never.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Do business with you.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Well, that's a wonderful recommendation.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Can you get me a divorce on what grounds?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Grounds?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Well?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
This may come as a shock to you, Missus Hall,
but judges are peculiar people. Before they grant a divorce,
they like to know if there's a reason I've got
a millionaire where your husband contested.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
On our look, lieutenant, I'm business.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh you're always busy, Malone. Why don't you take a
little time out once?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I'm not clowning Brough neither am I?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh? Well, this lady's Peggy Hall, isn't she?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Would you know?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'm a detective. Like to see how I operate? Love
to well?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
First I went to your home and the maid told
me I left a message that if anybody looked for you, you'd.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Be closeted with the legal legal is why, oh, Malone,
you are.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
A dep Look Brooks, what are you getting that?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Didn't she tell you?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
All she told me is she wanted to get rid
of her.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Husband, and she did. We just found his body.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Put your shoes on, Lucy. Those stone floors at headquarters
can be off.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
He called.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
On your tutsies. You're listening to the amazing mister Malone.
It's the Silver Jubilee on NBC. NBC has long been
known as a leader in programming. NBC prides itself in
(12:34):
this leadership and promises to continue to schedule programs.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Of interest, taste, and entertainment.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
We'd like you to note the programs we have prepared
for your Sunday radio entertainment. These programs are designed for
High Adventure, and we start off with the Saint. Then
screen actor Lloyd Nolan brings you the fast moving action
of Martin Kin Private Eye. A new series called The
Whisperer brings Carlton Young to the NBC mic phone in
(13:00):
a double row that of Philip Galt and The Whisperer.
Then mister Moto, mister Ia Moto. Next week, be sure
to hear to Mention X on Thursday evening with stories
in time and space presented in future tense. Then on Friday,
we have a premiere on NBC with the program Mister
Keen Tracer of Lost Person. Yes we bid you walk
(13:23):
down the corridor of mystery, through the doorway of danger
and into the realm of high adventure on this your
NBC station. And now back to the amazing mister Malone.
(13:46):
There's an old cliche, it's always darkest before the dawn.
Judging by the signs here, daybreak was way off. While
Lieutenant Brooks gazed about my office, I watched my client,
Peggy Hall, put on her shoes. Little thing like that,
I can tell you a lot to me had proved
two things. One my client was innocent and two.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
She had lovely ankles.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
You like what you see?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I love it? Are you gonna hate me for asking this? Peggy?
But did you kid your husband?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Do I look like the kind of girl who would?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You're abound them alone?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I know I ought to wash my mouth out with soap?
All right? Love her? Who do you think did it?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I have no idea, But if you asked me.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Who would have liked to I'll amend the question Dutch
Schneider for one?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Who for two?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
I think Dutch I'll be enough to hold you for
a while, or.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Like Dutch could hold me for life? What do you
have against Arthur?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Arthur convinced him he was a man of influence.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Oh, I guess how much did he nick Dutch for?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I really don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
It must have been a substantial month figure. That's quite
achievement to take money away from mister Schneider.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I wonder if I could get in Dutch. I'll let
you kids know if I score.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
All right, you guys, will you step on it? Those
dice tables will never be ready in time?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And where's the roulette set up?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Well?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
We gotta here, Dutch. Well it's doing me no good
in that case, get it open. Hello, Dutch.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Why if it isn't the amazing mister Malone.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You mean the amazed mister Malone.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I thought they closed you up they did. What's all
the activity for, Well, it gives the boys something to do.
I like to see them occupy. It keeps them out
of trouble. Oh what's on your mind, counselor can we
talk someplace so there's less danger of me being hit
on the head by a hammer?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Sure, come into the office. Oh watch your stuff. I
always try to. So now I think Malone never says
no cea just a squirt.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Here you are? Thanks well Salo salode.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Hmm all right, Malone? To what do I owe the pleasure?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Well, for one thing, I was wondering whether you follow
successor to Arthur Hall?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Uh successor? Well, Arthur used to represent it in me.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I'm glad you mentioned that, Malone.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I could use a good lawyer.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Wish I could think of one. And what's wrong with you?
Speaker 10 (16:21):
Me?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I got a client?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So what so I'm afraid your interests are diametrically opposed.
But how do you figure that I'm representing Peggy Hall?
Don't tell me the police believe she killed her husband.
How did you know he was dead from several sources.
As a matter of fact, I think there was a
flash on the radio but an hour ago. But it's
say nothing much, only that someone sent a thirty two
(16:44):
slug through Arthur's brain in his office and the cops
were holding a hot suspect.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
But they didn't drop any names. It's Peggy Hall.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Well, now that proves that they're out of their minds.
Why would Peggy kill him? Well, it seems Arthur signed
everything he owned over to her and she didn't.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Want to give it back. That's no motive.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I forgot to mention that everything Arthur owne amounted to
close to one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Hey, you lawyers do all right?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Well, there are lawyers and lawyers Dutch. Now, Arthur had
a few soft touches. He convinced a couple of clients
he had political connections, and he was rooking them for
a fat little fee each week. You don't have to
tell me I was one of the principal contributors.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
So I've heard. What gets me is why the police
haven't talked to you? Well, maybe they have. What'd you
tell him?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Obviously enough to convince them that I didn't murder Arthur.
Want to try convincing me? Where's my percentage? How should
drink of the drink?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Fine? Fine? Want one for the road? Oh I'm in
a hurry. I can spare another few minutes. Well I can't.
That's okay, duds. You don't have to beat me over
the head. I can take a hint. See you're on
the pull.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Room, Dutch.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Why kelk?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You're the last man I expected to see.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
I hope you don't mind my dropping around. I brought
over the Horowitz recording of the Piano Concerto. I thought
maybe you'd right to compare it with the Rubinstein job.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It had really come for that, did your kelk?
Speaker 8 (18:14):
I guess there's no use my trying to kid you,
no use at all. It's funny, Dutch. I've known you
how long? Maybe twenty four hours, and yet I feel
that there's a bond between us, do you?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (18:29):
You know me better than I do myself. For example,
I used to think that I was interruptible.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Oh come now, no, I mean it.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
I always prided myself at once I undertook an assignment.
Nothing could swerve me for my purpose. But you did,
didn't you?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Dutch?
Speaker 8 (18:47):
And you did it with money?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Did I do that?
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (18:52):
You put ideas in my head to get to the Freidkelk. Well,
all I'm trying to say is that suddenly money has
become tremendously important to me, so so I want lots
of it.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And do I look like Fort Knox? Well a reasonable fact, simile.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
I sold you your life at nine o'clock last night
for ten thousand dollars, and that was pretty cheap Dutch.
I'll bet I could have gotten five times then easily.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
If I had that much here, well, you better start
raising it otherwise.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
Otherwise I go to a fellow named John Jay Malone.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
No, you wouldn't do that? Why not? I just don't
think you would. When you're wrong, Dutch? How can I be?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
You admit that? I know you're better than you do yourself.
And I don't see you going to John J.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Malone. I just don't see it.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Hello, mister Malone? Yeah, are you busy? Is my name
is George Kelk? George Kelk, Yes, you don't know me,
but it might be worthwhile if you did.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
In what a respect? I know who killed Arthur Hall?
Is this a rib?
Speaker 8 (20:16):
I'll let you judge that for yourself. What time does
your office staff leave?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Five thirty?
Speaker 8 (20:21):
All right, I'll be there at six. It'll be much
easier with just the two of us.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Let me see if we understand each other? Kelk I
think we do now, Malone, you'll be willing to repeat
the same story in court? Why not?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Why you admit that you've been hired by Arthur Hall
to take care of Dutch.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Schneider When nothing happened to Dutch, didn't he? No, then
what can happen to me? You've got a nice logical mind.
Thank you. What do you think will be Dutch's reaction
when he learns you've been up here?
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Oh I'm not worried, Malone. I can look after myself.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You want me to prove it? Yeah, all right? Open
up your desk drawer. Why go on? Start with the
bottom one on the right. What are you talking about?
Speaker 8 (21:06):
You've got a recording machine somewhere in there, Malone. You've
been taking down every bit of this dialogue.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
How do you know that?
Speaker 8 (21:13):
Oh you're talking to a man who keeps up with
the latest in that field. I do a little home
recording myself. Oh who thought of placing the microphone in
the waste paper basket.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
He pick it up from a story I once read.
Cute idea.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
Yeah, all right, malone, get away from that desk. Put
away that gun, Kilk, I said, get away from that.
How do you feel, counselor, Oh, it's too bad next time.
Remember you're not dealing with an amateur. I never auditioned
(21:50):
for free.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Listen, give him a little more water, so no more,
come on my loan, come on, let me, oh take
it easy, charm.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Something new has been added. Huh yeah, three stitches in
your scalp. Oh why did you get here, lieutenant? About
an hour ago?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Let me.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
See that.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Oh, there's nothing to see there. You'll have to buy
yourself a new recorded.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Listen, Brooks. A boy named George Kelk was up here.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, I know you kept babbling his name.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, he can clear Peggy Hall.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I'll tell you I had the evidence of that machine.
He stopped trying to humor me. Alcohol originally hired this
Kelke abump Dutch Snyder. Only Dutch was lucky and brought
his way out. Now is that a strong enough.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Moning for you? Give me?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
For Dutch getting back at off the Hall. Yeah, I'd
be out of my mind.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
To say it was well, kel can improve the whole business.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
No he can't, Lieutenant, I talked with the man. He
told me that at nine o'clock last night he went.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Up and braced Duck.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Well, that's where you run into trouble.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I don't see why.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's because you haven't seen the autopsy report. Altha Hall
was dead at eight what.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Yeah, that's right, a full hour before Kelke even got
to Dutch.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
They better get the aspirin alone.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Your headaches are just beginning.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
You are listening to the amazing mister Malone. Now that
vacation time is here, the danger of forest fires increases
all over the country. Millions of people will be enjoying
the mountains and woodlands on hiking, camping, and fishing trips.
Of course, the more people there are in the forests,
(23:30):
the greater danger there is of fire. But we can
prevent forest fires if each of us will be careful.
Crush out cigarette cigar and pipe ashes, break matches in
two after using, drown all camp fires, then stir and
drown again. Forest fires are a shameful waste because they
can be prevented. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires.
(23:53):
And now back to the amazing, mister Malone. If Georgie
Kelk made me sick, Lieutenant Brooks wasn't exactly what the
doctor ordered either. When I refused to believe that Arthur
(24:15):
Hall was killed an hour before kill Keeping met Dutch Schneider,
Lieutenant showed it to me in black and wife. Hey,
I'm alone, now would you behave What did this autopsy
report come through around six fifteen tonight?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Why didn't you call me?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I tried too, but you were out?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Why you could have left? Oh you got any other leads?
Speaker 7 (24:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Your client, missus Hall still refuses to tell us what
she did with the gun.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
What gun?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The one she bought three months ago in a porn shop?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Why?
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Well?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I hear her tell it. She was afraid with Arthur
away from home so.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Often, that's possible, sure, But why did she buy it
under a phony name?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
She's a woman?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Oh, of course that explains everything.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Well, how did you finally run it down.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Through the car?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
The pawnbroker remembered she was driving a nash She got
the first four numbers of the license.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
To the observant boy, what kind of a gun was it?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Police special?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Is that what was used on haul?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
The slugby Pride out of the wall was too bad
at the tell look, Lieutenant Peggy didn't kill her husband.
It's all a lot of character. Oh that's good. That is.
It's spent all of sixty minutes with the girl already,
You've got around a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I tell you, wait, a mess. I'm the original idiot boy.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I've been saying that for years. Where what she th
I gott to see her immediately. I just thought of
something in the way my mind is functioning lately. I
can't take a chance of for getting it. Shall we go?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
There's anything I can do, Peggy, anything at all.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I want you to let me know thank you, But.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I can't think of the same. Well one's taking care
of everything.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Well. Much as I dislike the guy, I've got to
admit he's capable.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
But if you want anybody else, Peggy, what.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Happened to you?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I use my head when I shouldn't have. Oh, I'm sorry,
I didn't realize you had company.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
That's all right, counselor I'm leaving. Don't on my account
much they are.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Lieutenant here as a call out for Georgie kelk Kelk.
Hadn't you heard he was up to see me tonight.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I didn't think he would. Why not?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I didn't think he knew anything about Arthur's murder.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
You're right he didn't, Hey, Malone, he said there was
something he wanted to ask missus Hall.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Oh yeah, I'm glad you reminded me. Lieutenant, I almost
forgot again.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
You've got any plans for the night, Peggy.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
That's not funny, Malone.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
No, I'm serious. I'd like to take you out.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Hey, Haven't I got anything to say about that?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Don't get me wrong, Lieutenant.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
With the housing shortage what it is, I wouldn't leave
you with an empty room. Mister Schneider can move in
and take her place. How about that Dutch? What are
you trying to say, Malone?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
You killed Arthur Hall?
Speaker 10 (26:40):
There, I said it, and I'm glad.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I can't believe that.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
He can't believe what the schnyder killed Arthur? Suit yourself, Peggy,
But it obviously had to be one of you in
that case.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I'm glad you picked on Dutch. What convinced you he
was killing?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That gun you, Misslake?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Lieutenant Brooks said it was a police special and that's
a thirty eight caliber job. What does that prove Well,
when I asked Brooks if he was positive the bullet
was fired from a police special, he admitted they couldn't
tell for sure. So so how come when I first
went to see Dutch Schneider, he knew definitely.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
It was a thirty two.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Oh, Dutch must have had inside information.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
The very best.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
After the raid on his club, Dutch went to your
home and beat the devil out of Arthur.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Why didn't he kill him there?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Arthur must have promised to return the money he got
from him?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Well, how could Arthur do that? He'd signed over practice
everything he owned to me.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Sure, and then when Dutch realized he had no chance
of recouping, he went to your husband's office and killed
him there. But in between, Arthur hired Georgie Kelk. By
the time Kelk located Dutch, Arthur was dead.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Should I say I'm sorry?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Not if you don't feel like any But you don't
want to let this prejudice you against Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Man, Oh, it won't.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I know now the type I can handle, and when
I see one of the other kind, I'm going to
start running.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
How do you recognize the other kind?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Huh, that's easy. They're lawyers.
Speaker 11 (28:13):
Good night, mister Malone.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Well, like the man says, that's all there is, There
ain't no more, which merely means that this is the
last Malone show in the current series. If you want
us back, all you got to do is say the word.
When it comes to that department. You're the judge and jury,
so here's hoping you'll be dropping us a line at
the office and that the verdict.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Will be a favorable one. Good Night and good luck.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Operator Operator, Get Me the Office of John J. Malone.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
The National Broadcasting Company presents The Amazing Mister Malone, an
exciting half hour of mystery, starring George Petrie as the
lawyer who's practiced before every type of bar has.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Become a legend.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Our locale is the city of Chicago, the time, the present,
and the hero of these weekly adventures, the Amazing Mister Malone.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Malone's name John J.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Malone, Attorney and cost a law Tonight. In our study
of the cliche, let's explore the possibilities of haste maketh waste.
There's a case in point. I give you Dutch Schneider.
Dutch is the solid looking citizen behind the mahogany desk
at the Belvidere Club. He's a gambler by professional. That
doesn't mean he takes chances.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Dutch likes to play at nice and safe.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
That probably explains why he stares with obvious disbelief at
a light on his desk, which flicks on and off
with appropriate sound effects. O'Neil, Yeah, what's going on out there?
Just what you think, Dutch? It's a raid a they're
doing any damage. We can't you hear it? No, I'll
take my word for it. They're playing awful rough. I'm
glad they're having fun.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Who's in charge? Never mind, O'Neil.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Do you want to see me? Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
What's your name?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Officer Brooks? Lieutenant Sidney Brooks? Why wasn't I notified of
this raid? Would you mind repeating that? Please? I asked
why I wasn't warned? Your boys must have done at
least one hundred thousand dollars worth of damage.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Oh easy, you know who's going to pay for it?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Who you on my salary? Don't be silly, O'Neil.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
What is it, Dutch? Get me off a Hall on
the phone?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh now I get it. Is Arthur Hall, your lawyer.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
You know this is the funniest thing I've heard yet
you think so? I know so? So he clipped you too.
I'm surprised at you, Dutch.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I'll bet author soldio bill of goods. He could keep
us out of your head if you paid off to him. Well, well,
he was kidding you.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Arthur Hall has as much influence in Chicago as my
brother in law, and even with me on the force,
he can't get himself for risk.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well, if Hall was bluffing, why wasn't my club knocked
off before?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Oh you're just lucky, Dutch. We're understaffed. We didn't get
a round to you.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I see.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I can't get over it, Arthur Hall clipping a hip
character like you.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You're right, Throeutenant.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It is funny, but you'll pardon me if I don't
laugh right now.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
The joke seems to be on me.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yes, I was attaining the office, Peggy fighting chancey your phone,
Dutch Schneider has been trying to reach you all evening?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Did he call here?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
You know?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Ard I got the audio, was a little annoyed with you.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well what did he say?
Speaker 6 (03:29):
It wasn't what he said, Darling, was the way he
said it?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Listen, Peg, I leave town for a few days. Yeah,
something's something has just come up. Remember the Marris estate.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
So you don't have to explain. You know, I trust
you implicitly when a you're leaving.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I'm taking the super chief to Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Oh that explains it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
That explains what why they called.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
And confirmed your reservation to Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Well, I made a mistake.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Well, I have fun, Darling, if there's anything I can
do for you here.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, there is. I want you to sign this paper
to see I had nothing to be concerned about here
on this first line here.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Didn't you want to tell me never to sign anything
without reading it? Well, this is to acknowledge that I
Peggy Hall here.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Now, Peggy here.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I'm shocked, utterly and completely shocked. Well, I couldn't sign
anything like this if I did. All the bonds and
money you put in my name of revert back to you.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It's my money in bunds.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Isn't it.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Oh sweetheart, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want to
see you penniless in Saint Louis. Pardon Los Angeles. I
suppose I write out a check for twenty five times.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Now listen, Peggy, No use arguing or.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think I'm being very generous.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
After all, I'm not obliged to give you anything.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You did a little double cross it. Just what do
you think you're doing? It's not nice?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Arthur Huh, I said, that's not nice.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Hello Peggy, Hello Dutch. What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
A couple of things I want to take up with you.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Would you mind leaving us alone for a little while
missus Hall, it would be no Peggy come back.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
That's a swell girl. You've got there now, I know
what you're going to say. That's good. Then I won't
have to say it. It was a slip off. You see.
I've been on the phone all day. Those boys had
no right to raid your place, but they did.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well. I've gotten a point to talk to the commissioner tomorrow.
I don't see how you're going to manage it.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Wow, what do you mean.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well to talk properly? You should have teeth and comes tomorrow, Arthur.
I don't think you're going to have many left.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Come in, are you, George Kelly? Mm hm, I'm off
the hall.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I spoke to you on the phone.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh yeah, it's nothing with you. In a minute. I've
got to hear this record on a lovel I'm a
busy man.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
If you're in a hurry, mister Hall, you better take
your business elsewhere.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Well, I'll wait.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
That's the ticket. Hmm.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
It's pretty, isn't it. It's debut saved.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
You know what's responsible for most of the troubles in
this world, mister Hall. People assigned the wrong vanue to things.
I'll take music for example, that's important because there is
a common denominator.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Look, KALKI didn't come here for a lecture.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
There's no extra charge, all right, Hall? What can I
do for you?
Speaker 8 (06:29):
Want to do a job for me, not particularly what
I'm a craftsman, mister Hall. I only accept commissions I like.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I'll pay you five hundred dollars. You're not even in
my register. You'll have to go higher a thousand. It's
a little better. Have the money right on you now.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Well, yes, but it's all I have at the moment.
It's enough for me, all right, four six eight. Now,
what's the name of your party?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Dutch Schneider?
Speaker 8 (06:59):
You know only by reputation. He the one who bounced
you around.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's my business.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
As you say, mister Hall, that's your business. So if
you'll allow me, I'll be getting down to mine.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Est a minute.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yes, are you Dutch Schneider? That's right. Kelk's my name,
Georgie Kelk. Kelk have not heard that name before, and
I don't know. Have you for sure?
Speaker 8 (07:44):
You're the We'll go on Dutch.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You won't hurt my feelings.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'd rather not take any chances.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Frankly, it won't make much difference. Sit down, you might
if I smoke? Hum m here try my brand, the
King's Sons.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Well, if nothing else, it'll give me a little more time.
Good match, sure, catch? Thanks? Well? Where do I get it? Kelk?
What's wrong with right here? Aren't you afraid of the noise?
Speaker 8 (08:18):
I guess you didn't notice the silencer on this baby?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Excuse me for trying to tell you your business.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's quite all right.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You don't mind talking, not at all. How'd you find
me here anyway? Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
It took me a couple of hours, but I managed.
What is this a uh hideaway? Yes? Nice place? Oh
you're phonograph mm hm? Whose records? My mind? See you
go in for the classical?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Whose album is that you've got?
Speaker 7 (08:48):
On?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
The Tchekowsky piano Concerto? Rubinstein? Ever hear Horowitz play? I
like Rubinstein's better? Has you got a lot more fire? Oh?
You're out of your mind?
Speaker 8 (08:56):
No one can touch Horrowitz when it comes to execution.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You ought to know it's all right?
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Say tell me something, dunce. Why is it the nice
guys always get it?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
There's no reason why they should look Kelk. I don't
want to insult you, but Uh, can't we talk this
all then? I'm afraid not well, I know who puts
you up to it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It was off a Hall. What difference does that make?
A lot?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You have nothing in common with Hall. Wouldn't you rather
work for me?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Definitely? But it's too late now.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Why you can't tell me that you're afraid of Hall?
And I don't know what he gave you, but I'll
pay you ten thousand dollars for that gun fully loaded?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
M I don't know Duns.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Never done anything like this before, and if I did now,
I wouldn't want you to think that the money you're
offering had any effect on my decision.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Oh of course not. There was something.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
About that fellow Hall that just rubbed me the wrong way,
all right, don't you get the doll.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
It was just one of those things, just one of
those crazy things, one of those bells that now and
then rang, Just one of those.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Don't stop on my account, miss Malone. I think you've
seen real pretty well.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I always say a pretty girl as there was a
pretty tune. Imagine coming into my office and finding you.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
How'd you get in here? Anyway?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I told the superintendent I would defended you.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Good for you I'm glad you made yourself at home.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
You don't mind my taking off my shoes, not a bit.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I'd like to see people comfortable.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
You want to get some better reading materials?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh, you don't care for Professor wigmore on evidence?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I thought it was pretty dull.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
There's a racing for me overlook, No, I didn't this
last week.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Oh, I'm terribly sorry, miss Haul.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Peggy Hall.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Only it's missus now I'm the one to be sorry.
Shall I put my shoes?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Why be formal?
Speaker 6 (11:08):
You know, Malone, you're a welcome change for most of
the lawyers.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I know you know many.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I've got one in the family, Arthur Hall.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Do you hear of them?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Unfortunately he's my husband.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Oh I once heard him say he'd never.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Do business with you.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Well, that's a wonderful recommendation.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Can you get me a divorce on what grounds?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Grounds?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Well?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
This may come as a shock to you, Missus Hall,
but judges are peculiar people. Before they grant a divorce,
they like to know if there's a reason I've got
a millionaire where your husband contested.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
On our look, lieutenant, I'm business.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh you're always busy, Malone. Why don't you take a
little time out once?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I'm not clowning Brough neither am I?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh? Well, this lady's Peggy Hall, isn't she?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Would you know?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'm a detective. Like to see how I operate? Love
to well?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
First I went to your home and the maid told
me I left a message that if anybody looked for you, you'd.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Be closeted with the legal legal is why, oh, Malone,
you are.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
A dep Look Brooks, what are you getting that?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Didn't she tell you?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
All she told me is she wanted to get rid
of her.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Husband, and she did. We just found his body.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Put your shoes on, Lucy. Those stone floors at headquarters
can be off.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
He called.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
On your tutsies. You're listening to the amazing mister Malone.
It's the Silver Jubilee on NBC. NBC has long been
known as a leader in programming. NBC prides itself in
(12:34):
this leadership and promises to continue to schedule programs.

Keen Tracer of Lost Person. Yes we bid you walk
(13:23):
down the corridor of mystery, through the doorway of danger
and into the realm of high adventure on this your
NBC station. And now back to the amazing mister Malone.
(13:46):
There's an old cliche, it's always darkest before the dawn.
Judging by the signs here, daybreak was way off. While
Lieutenant Brooks gazed about my office, I watched my client,
Peggy Hall, put on her shoes. Little thing like that,
I can tell you a lot to me had proved
two things. One my client was innocent and two.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
She had lovely ankles.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
You like what you see?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I love it? Are you gonna hate me for asking this? Peggy?
But did you kid your husband?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Do I look like the kind of girl who would?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You're abound them alone?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I know I ought to wash my mouth out with soap?
All right? Love her? Who do you think did it?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I have no idea, But if you asked me.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Who would have liked to I'll amend the question Dutch
Schneider for one?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Who for two?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
I think Dutch I'll be enough to hold you for
a while, or.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Like Dutch could hold me for life? What do you
have against Arthur?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Arthur convinced him he was a man of influence.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Oh, I guess how much did he nick Dutch for?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I really don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
It must have been a substantial month figure. That's quite
achievement to take money away from mister Schneider.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I wonder if I could get in Dutch. I'll let
you kids know if I score.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
All right, you guys, will you step on it? Those
dice tables will never be ready in time?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
And where's the roulette set up?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Well?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
We gotta here, Dutch. Well it's doing me no good
in that case, get it open. Hello, Dutch.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Why if it isn't the amazing mister Malone.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
You mean the amazed mister Malone.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I thought they closed you up they did. What's all
the activity for, Well, it gives the boys something to do.
I like to see them occupy. It keeps them out
of trouble. Oh what's on your mind, counselor can we
talk someplace so there's less danger of me being hit
on the head by a hammer?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Sure, come into the office. Oh watch your stuff. I
always try to. So now I think Malone never says
no cea just a squirt.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Here you are? Thanks well Salo salode.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Hmm all right, Malone? To what do I owe the pleasure?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Well, for one thing, I was wondering whether you follow
successor to Arthur Hall?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Uh successor? Well, Arthur used to represent it in me.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I'm glad you mentioned that, Malone.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I could use a good lawyer.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Wish I could think of one. And what's wrong with you?
Speaker 10 (16:21):
Me?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I got a client?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So what so I'm afraid your interests are diametrically opposed.
But how do you figure that I'm representing Peggy Hall?
Don't tell me the police believe she killed her husband.
How did you know he was dead from several sources.
As a matter of fact, I think there was a
flash on the radio but an hour ago. But it's
say nothing much, only that someone sent a thirty two
(16:44):
slug through Arthur's brain in his office and the cops
were holding a hot suspect.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
But they didn't drop any names. It's Peggy Hall.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Well, now that proves that they're out of their minds.
Why would Peggy kill him? Well, it seems Arthur signed
everything he owned over to her and she didn't.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Want to give it back. That's no motive.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I forgot to mention that everything Arthur owne amounted to
close to one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Hey, you lawyers do all right?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Well, there are lawyers and lawyers Dutch. Now, Arthur had
a few soft touches. He convinced a couple of clients
he had political connections, and he was rooking them for
a fat little fee each week. You don't have to
tell me I was one of the principal contributors.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
So I've heard. What gets me is why the police
haven't talked to you? Well, maybe they have. What'd you
tell him?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Obviously enough to convince them that I didn't murder Arthur.
Want to try convincing me? Where's my percentage? How should
drink of the drink?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Fine? Fine? Want one for the road? Oh I'm in
a hurry. I can spare another few minutes. Well I can't.
That's okay, duds. You don't have to beat me over
the head. I can take a hint. See you're on
the pull.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Room, Dutch.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Why kelk?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You're the last man I expected to see.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
I hope you don't mind my dropping around. I brought
over the Horowitz recording of the Piano Concerto. I thought
maybe you'd right to compare it with the Rubinstein job.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It had really come for that, did your kelk?
Speaker 8 (18:14):
I guess there's no use my trying to kid you,
no use at all. It's funny, Dutch. I've known you
how long? Maybe twenty four hours, and yet I feel
that there's a bond between us, do you?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (18:29):
You know me better than I do myself. For example,
I used to think that I was interruptible.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Oh come now, no, I mean it.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
I always prided myself at once I undertook an assignment.
Nothing could swerve me for my purpose. But you did,
didn't you?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Dutch?
Speaker 8 (18:47):
And you did it with money?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Did I do that?
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (18:52):
You put ideas in my head to get to the Freidkelk. Well,
all I'm trying to say is that suddenly money has
become tremendously important to me, so so I want lots
of it.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And do I look like Fort Knox? Well a reasonable fact, simile.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
I sold you your life at nine o'clock last night
for ten thousand dollars, and that was pretty cheap Dutch.
I'll bet I could have gotten five times then easily.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
If I had that much here, well, you better start
raising it otherwise.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
Otherwise I go to a fellow named John Jay Malone.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
No, you wouldn't do that? Why not? I just don't
think you would. When you're wrong, Dutch? How can I be?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
You admit that? I know you're better than you do yourself.
And I don't see you going to John J.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Malone. I just don't see it.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Hello, mister Malone? Yeah, are you busy? Is my name
is George Kelk? George Kelk, Yes, you don't know me,
but it might be worthwhile if you did.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
In what a respect? I know who killed Arthur Hall?
Is this a rib?
Speaker 8 (20:16):
I'll let you judge that for yourself. What time does
your office staff leave?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Five thirty?
Speaker 8 (20:21):
All right, I'll be there at six. It'll be much
easier with just the two of us.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Let me see if we understand each other? Kelk I
think we do now, Malone, you'll be willing to repeat
the same story in court? Why not?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Why you admit that you've been hired by Arthur Hall
to take care of Dutch.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Schneider When nothing happened to Dutch, didn't he? No, then
what can happen to me? You've got a nice logical mind.
Thank you. What do you think will be Dutch's reaction
when he learns you've been up here?
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Oh I'm not worried, Malone. I can look after myself.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You want me to prove it? Yeah, all right? Open
up your desk drawer. Why go on? Start with the
bottom one on the right. What are you talking about?
Speaker 8 (21:06):
You've got a recording machine somewhere in there, Malone. You've
been taking down every bit of this dialogue.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
How do you know that?
Speaker 8 (21:13):
Oh you're talking to a man who keeps up with
the latest in that field. I do a little home
recording myself. Oh who thought of placing the microphone in
the waste paper basket.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
He pick it up from a story I once read.
Cute idea.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
Yeah, all right, malone, get away from that desk. Put
away that gun, Kilk, I said, get away from that.
How do you feel, counselor, Oh, it's too bad next time.
Remember you're not dealing with an amateur. I never auditioned
(21:50):
for free.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Listen, give him a little more water, so no more,
come on my loan, come on, let me, oh take
it easy, charm.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Something new has been added. Huh yeah, three stitches in
your scalp. Oh why did you get here, lieutenant? About
an hour ago?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Let me.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
See that.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Oh, there's nothing to see there. You'll have to buy
yourself a new recorded.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Listen, Brooks. A boy named George Kelk was up here.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, I know you kept babbling his name.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, he can clear Peggy Hall.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I'll tell you I had the evidence of that machine.
He stopped trying to humor me. Alcohol originally hired this
Kelke abump Dutch Snyder. Only Dutch was lucky and brought
his way out. Now is that a strong enough.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Moning for you? Give me?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
For Dutch getting back at off the Hall. Yeah, I'd
be out of my mind.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
To say it was well, kel can improve the whole business.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
No he can't, Lieutenant, I talked with the man. He
told me that at nine o'clock last night he went.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Up and braced Duck.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Well, that's where you run into trouble.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I don't see why.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's because you haven't seen the autopsy report. Altha Hall
was dead at eight what.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Yeah, that's right, a full hour before Kelke even got
to Dutch.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
They better get the aspirin alone.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Your headaches are just beginning.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
You are listening to the amazing mister Malone. Now that
vacation time is here, the danger of forest fires increases
all over the country. Millions of people will be enjoying
the mountains and woodlands on hiking, camping, and fishing trips.
Of course, the more people there are in the forests,
(23:30):
the greater danger there is of fire. But we can
prevent forest fires if each of us will be careful.
Crush out cigarette cigar and pipe ashes, break matches in
two after using, drown all camp fires, then stir and
drown again. Forest fires are a shameful waste because they
can be prevented. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires.
(23:53):
And now back to the amazing, mister Malone. If Georgie
Kelk made me sick, Lieutenant Brooks wasn't exactly what the
doctor ordered either. When I refused to believe that Arthur
(24:15):
Hall was killed an hour before kill Keeping met Dutch Schneider,
Lieutenant showed it to me in black and wife. Hey,
I'm alone, now would you behave What did this autopsy
report come through around six fifteen tonight?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Why didn't you call me?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I tried too, but you were out?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Why you could have left? Oh you got any other leads?
Speaker 7 (24:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Your client, missus Hall still refuses to tell us what
she did with the gun.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
What gun?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The one she bought three months ago in a porn shop?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Why?
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Well?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I hear her tell it. She was afraid with Arthur
away from home so.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Often, that's possible, sure, But why did she buy it
under a phony name?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
She's a woman?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Oh, of course that explains everything.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Well, how did you finally run it down.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Through the car?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
The pawnbroker remembered she was driving a nash She got
the first four numbers of the license.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
To the observant boy, what kind of a gun was it?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Police special?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Is that what was used on haul?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
The slugby Pride out of the wall was too bad
at the tell look, Lieutenant Peggy didn't kill her husband.
It's all a lot of character. Oh that's good. That is.
It's spent all of sixty minutes with the girl already,
You've got around a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I tell you, wait, a mess. I'm the original idiot boy.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I've been saying that for years. Where what she th
I gott to see her immediately. I just thought of
something in the way my mind is functioning lately. I
can't take a chance of for getting it. Shall we go?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
There's anything I can do, Peggy, anything at all.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I want you to let me know thank you, But.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I can't think of the same. Well one's taking care
of everything.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Well. Much as I dislike the guy, I've got to
admit he's capable.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
But if you want anybody else, Peggy, what.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Happened to you?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I use my head when I shouldn't have. Oh, I'm sorry,
I didn't realize you had company.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
That's all right, counselor I'm leaving. Don't on my account
much they are.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Lieutenant here as a call out for Georgie kelk Kelk.
Hadn't you heard he was up to see me tonight.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I didn't think he would. Why not?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I didn't think he knew anything about Arthur's murder.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
You're right he didn't, Hey, Malone, he said there was
something he wanted to ask missus Hall.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Oh yeah, I'm glad you reminded me. Lieutenant, I almost
forgot again.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
You've got any plans for the night, Peggy.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
That's not funny, Malone.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
No, I'm serious. I'd like to take you out.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Hey, Haven't I got anything to say about that?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Don't get me wrong, Lieutenant.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
With the housing shortage what it is, I wouldn't leave
you with an empty room. Mister Schneider can move in
and take her place. How about that Dutch? What are
you trying to say, Malone?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
You killed Arthur Hall?
Speaker 10 (26:40):
There, I said it, and I'm glad.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I can't believe that.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
He can't believe what the schnyder killed Arthur? Suit yourself, Peggy,
But it obviously had to be one of you in
that case.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
I'm glad you picked on Dutch. What convinced you he
was killing?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That gun you, Misslake?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Lieutenant Brooks said it was a police special and that's
a thirty eight caliber job. What does that prove Well,
when I asked Brooks if he was positive the bullet
was fired from a police special, he admitted they couldn't
tell for sure. So so how come when I first
went to see Dutch Schneider, he knew definitely.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
It was a thirty two.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Oh, Dutch must have had inside information.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
The very best.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
After the raid on his club, Dutch went to your
home and beat the devil out of Arthur.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Why didn't he kill him there?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Arthur must have promised to return the money he got
from him?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Well, how could Arthur do that? He'd signed over practice
everything he owned to me.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Sure, and then when Dutch realized he had no chance
of recouping, he went to your husband's office and killed
him there. But in between, Arthur hired Georgie Kelk. By
the time Kelk located Dutch, Arthur was dead.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Should I say I'm sorry?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Not if you don't feel like any But you don't
want to let this prejudice you against Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Man, Oh, it won't.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I know now the type I can handle, and when
I see one of the other kind, I'm going to
start running.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
How do you recognize the other kind?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Huh, that's easy. They're lawyers.
Speaker 11 (28:13):
Good night, mister Malone.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Well, like the man says, that's all there is, There
ain't no more, which merely means that this is the
last Malone show in the current series. If you want
us back, all you got to do is say the word.
When it comes to that department. You're the judge and jury,
so here's hoping you'll be dropping us a line at
the office and that the verdict.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Will be a favorable one. Good Night and good luck.
