I'm willing to sholl out this kind of money, I must.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Have a rehab.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
But you'd rather not sell it to me? Obviously? What

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Well, this is business, mister Holland.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Well it could be pleasure too.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Not going to be with all my heart, Connie, So
you know that's very pretty sentiment.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
You think you're good?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Find it for me.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
She's here in Chicago. I'm positive you came here from
Boston a year.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Ago, and I'll find it.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
What can I reach you?
Speaker 7 (03:12):
When I do?
Speaker 5 (03:12):
There's no telling. We like to be on the move.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But don't worry, Holland, I'll keep in touch that you
can depend on.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
Thank you, Ritchie.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yeah, do you realize what time it is?
Speaker 8 (03:34):
I've been waiting with dinner for three hours.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
That must be pretty cold by now.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
That's not funny. This is the fourth time this week.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Where have you been working?
Speaker 8 (03:44):
So that's the new name for it?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Bug? June, I've had a tough day.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Would you mind very much that we dispense with the
arguments for one night?
Speaker 8 (03:49):
But she never argues with you?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Who never argues with that girl?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Look, June, there is no girl.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
I told you I'm working on a case.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
And why didn't you phone me?
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Or with a wire down?
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Retchie, I'm talking to you.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Fortunately I can't hear you.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
You'll hear plenty before I'm through.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
Is this the girl?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Where did you get that picture?
Speaker 8 (04:13):
I found it in one of your suits and I
love the inscription with.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
All my heart, Connie, it's not what you think.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
It never is.
Speaker 8 (04:21):
Well, you can tell her that the next time I
see her. On the next time, I know where she lived?
What you thought? You put one over on me?
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Didn't you know where she lives?
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Let me go. Well, I saw her in Marshall Fields
on Tuesday and I followed her. Oh, you too, are
real clever. She must have thought that by bleaching her
hair and going under the name Elilah Grayson, I wouldn't
be suspicious. I suppose she doesn't live at the Beverly.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
You saw this girl? She's living at the Beverly.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
You're not fooling me with this act. Ritchie? Where are
you going? Retchie?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Let you Connie?
Speaker 9 (05:17):
What what did you call me?
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Isn't this Connie Burton?
Speaker 9 (05:20):
No, No, you've got the wrong number. My name is
Ala Grayson.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Well, I guess you wouldn't be interested in my message.
I'm sorry if.
Speaker 9 (05:26):
I wait, wait, wait, wait a minute, Who are you?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
What difference does it make?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Well?
Speaker 10 (05:31):
Are you?
Speaker 9 (05:32):
I just thought that I recognized your voice.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
My name is Richie Holland.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
Oh, well, assuming that I was Connie Burton, what's the message?
Speaker 6 (05:43):
A couple of your friends looking for you?
Speaker 7 (05:45):
Who read Fontaine?
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Boy? Name's Sandy.
Speaker 9 (05:49):
Why are you telling me this?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Well done? If I know? But I once saw a
picture of you and it did something to me.
Speaker 9 (05:57):
Look, if this is a trap iPhone.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
I hadn't worn you, I'd like to be a friend.
Speaker 9 (06:03):
I could surely use one.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
I consider me a volunteer. Can I drop around?
Speaker 9 (06:08):
How is ten o'clock tonight?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
So't you suits me?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Fine?
Speaker 7 (06:11):
I'll be seeing your girl take carry yourself till then.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
I hate to heckle mister Holland, but that was a
red latch you just passed.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Would you do me a favorite?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
They called me Richie?
Speaker 6 (06:36):
All right, no, no, go on see it, Richie. That's
kind of just the way I thought it would.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
I don't understand you.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
I don't understand myself. Do you mind if we park?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Not?
Speaker 9 (06:49):
If you want to?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Well, no, I liked your.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Hair better the other way.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
What you know, the way it was in the picture
before you bleached it.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
I hope you realize you're not making sense.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Nobody knows that better than I do. Listen, Connie, I'm
I'm a private detective.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
I see a week.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Ago, two boys came into.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
My office Fontaine and Sandy.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, they wanted me to locate you, and you did
know that that that was a fluke. See, June saw
your picture, remembered running into your field. She she followed
you to the Beverly.
Speaker 9 (07:28):
Who's June.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
That's my wife.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
She must be a real help to you in your work.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
No, she was just jealous and she had reason to be.
Speaker 9 (07:37):
What do you mean What.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Do you think I called you without notifying Fontaine.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
Maybe you wanted to check first.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
No, looky, you're gonna think I'm crazy, But I fell
for you. You know what, first time I.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Saw your picture.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
That's pretty ridiculous.
Speaker 9 (07:54):
In the Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, things like that just don't happen real life.
Speaker 9 (07:58):
As I said before, you're not making sense.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Oh dad, I'm all mixed up.
Speaker 9 (08:03):
Well what do you intend to do?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Well?
Speaker 6 (08:06):
I I wanna go on sing you?
Speaker 9 (08:09):
And what about Fontaine?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
That doesn't worry well, it worries me.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Letters just don't learn anything bother you.
Speaker 9 (08:16):
No, Richie, don't don't please Well funny you saying you're
all mixed up? Why cause I think I'm gonna be
in the same boat.
Speaker 11 (08:32):

Speaker 2 (09:05):
You sir, well, what's the story? The story on the

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Well, I've been running into bad luck Fanseane. I I
haven't been able to find the girl.

Speaker 2 (09:17):

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Richie.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Come again.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You remember our deal. Certainly you were to get a
hundred dollars a day plus expenses. So so outside of
that original thousand I gave you, you haven't asked for any more.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
That's not in character.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well, I pride myself on being a good judge of
human nature, and I'd say you had a large streak
of lossity in your makeup, really really, and I can't
figure out any reason why you'd miss an opportunity to
clip me, unless unless what you found Connie Burton.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And why wouldn't I tell you?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Because you're real clever.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
What do you think, Sandy, Well, if you want my
humble opinion, I'd say it was lying.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
That's my opinion too.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You want me to try and coaxing him? Please listen,
you big love.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You put a finger on me, Sweetheart, was reaching for
his pop gun.
Speaker 10 (10:18):
Huh, that's not nice.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
If you don't get out of here or what you
no good?
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Dirty bumps?
Speaker 5 (10:27):

Speaker 5 (10:43):
Dropped it?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Okay, sweetheart.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I'm glad you don't give in too easy, because that's
just how I get my kicks.
Speaker 10 (10:53):
And tonight I'm really gonna lift.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
That second.
Speaker 10 (11:12):
Yes, hello, Connie, that's a very good question. But in
the final analysis, who is anybody?
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Are you crazy?
Speaker 10 (11:21):
You're too literal minded? Me, I'm a philosopher. Did you
ever read Nietsch or shopping? Isn't that silly? How are
you going to find the time?
Speaker 9 (11:35):
What's the idea of the gun?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I wish you.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Wouldn't take this personally, Connie Bolivia, I got nothing against Well,
if you've got to call me something, try Harry.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
I don't know you.
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Does anybody know anybody else? It's hard enough to know yourself.
As Spangler once wrote, you up to this. Oh now
you are not listening to me, Connie, You're you're like old.
See you're obsessed with your own petty problems.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But if you analyze any problem, the solution is it's
perfectly simple.
Speaker 10 (12:09):
In your case, a mere tightening of the fingers. See
how simple it was. Now you can sleep, Gunny. Your
problems are rope.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Just one of those things, just one of those crazy things,
one of those bells that now and then ring, Just
one of those things.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
It was just one of those nut that's funny.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
It was just one of those things, just one of
those crazy things.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
That must be in the wrong office.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Uh huh, Hello, is that you, Malone Brooks? Yeah, I'm
glad you called HERU ten of the darnas things happened
just a second ago. I walked into the office singing,
just one of.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Those things there. Ain't it amazing?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
You were fifteen minutes late, Gonson.
Speaker 4 (13:17):

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Well, that's when we picked up a little lady who
was waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (13:20):

Speaker 3 (13:22):
June Holland, Yeah, yeah, we're in cline that thinks she's responsible.

Absolutely well, maybe.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
This is our week to amaze you. Come on down alone.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
We'll waiting.
Speaker 1 (13:42):

and adventures in the troubled lands of the Far East
with mister Moto. And now back to the amazing mister Malone.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
That's where I got into the act.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Two hours and forty seven minutes after the murder of
Connie Burton, I was John at headquarters. As I walked
over from my office, I made an interesting discovery. The
path from my door leading to the Homicide Bureau was
an inch lower than the adjacent territory.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I was in a rush.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Well, I live and breathe.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
That's what it makes with me. Lieutenant? What why are
you living? Breathe?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Oh that's a splendid boy.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Where's my client?
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Oh? Did you care to pass a few pleasanties with you?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Where's June Holland?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (15:33):
I guess I don't have it for you anymore, Sessman,
someone mentioned my name.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Mister Malone would like to see his client. His slightest
wish is my command.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Have you boys ever considered radio as a career?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Well, we're working on a night, but was stuck for
a name.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Why'd you call it the Bob Hope Show?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
You heard that somewhere and shut off that teletype. Well,
as long as you ask so nicely.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
All right here, missus Holland, are you malone?
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Don't that's that counselor it might tend to incriminate and degrade.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
You don't mind him, missus Holland. His mother was frightened
by the happiness boys.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Sit down, thank you. How what do you know about
this Connie Burton? Nothing?
Speaker 8 (16:10):
Absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I suppose you didn't know that your husband was running
around with it.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
It's a lie. It's just business with Richie. He was
hired to find her.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
What do you mean he was hired to find her?
Speaker 8 (16:22):
He's a private detective.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Oh what do you got to say to that, lieutenant?
Oh it was hardly business. You see, her husband was
seeing this Connie for over a month. Right after they met,
he made her move from the Beverly to the Martin.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
That's not true.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
And why were you around the Beverly checking on her?
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Because I was just trying to help Richie.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Despite the fact that he moved out on you four
weeks ago.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
Well, I didn't kill her. I never handled a gun
in my life.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
That's possible.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Well, you mean she hired a torpedo for the job.
He had a line on him. But this time, I mean,
why you expect my client to sit here?
Speaker 5 (16:52):
If you have no objects?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I've got a hundred, but I don't think they'll do
me any good. Well, sit tight, missus, Holland. I'll get
you dispossessed as soon as I can.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Yeah, I'm looking for Hey, what happened to you?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I got to mind my own business. Oh, maybe a
moral on that for you. I can't see where you're Richie, Holland,
what if I am? I'm glad to know you.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
My name is John J. Malone. Well, I'm representing your wife.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
What for?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Did you know the cops are holding her for murder?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
What are you mumbling about?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
A girl named Connie Burton was knocked off tonight? What
did you say, hey, easy fellow? Your ruin and the
drew asked.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
You something alone?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Obviously the police haven't been here yet. What did you
say about Connie? She was murdered and I must have
told her. You must have told who was any of
your business?
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Where is she?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Your wife?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Now?
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Connie?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Just where you might expect. I gotta see her.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I have a minute, Holland. Your wife is in a spot.
The police thinks she was behind the kill. Crazy, I
know who did it?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Who have a mind? This my own way? They called
your way murder. They call it the last I heard.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
And you shouldn't complain.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
You make it another case yet, see what you can
do for us on a family race.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Did you see the night's paper, Fontine?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Oh, I haven't saiday.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
It's a wonderful story on a front page. I mean
wonderful if the sword it appeals to you, and it
certainly does to you.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yeah, you bet you.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
He's a little girl named Connie Burton was shot and
killed last night. Let's see that Connie Burton Kevin. I
heard that name before.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I wouldn't know.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I'm probably confusing it with two other girls. Anyway. They're
holding the wife of a private dick named Richie.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Holland for the murder.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
This may come as a shock to you, Sandy, but
I know how to read well.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I didn't want you to strain yourself. Seems this June
Holland was jep.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Who's that get behind the door?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
I got you just a moment.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
I at Fonseine.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
All I can say, Holland is your recuperative powers must
be tremendous they are, Sandy, it'll be awfully disappointed in himself.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
What can I do for me?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I just wanted to check something that I'd tell you
where to find Connie before I passed out. What do
you think I'm asking my questions now? I'll put away
that gun. Richie might give people wrong idea.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah oo for example, for example me, what nah as
you're wor sweet Hide? Just drop the cannony? Would you
be uh kind enough to dispose of that? Mister Fontaine gladly?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Hey, you made a feel good. I'll listen you guys.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
We'll take it easy, sweet Hide, we'll get back to you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
What do you suggest, Well, he's pretty persistent. Let's dream
up something very special for the boy, something that will
really discourage him.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
Hey, I got an idea.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Well, suppose you illustrate on mister Holland. He's audio Sandy.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Hello, Hello, let me.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Let me talk to John J.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Malone.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You're molding boys. Speak up.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
I want to talk to John J. Malone.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Who where is this?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
It's Ritchie Holland.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You sound like you had another accident.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
I'll tell you who killed Connie.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Oh, A couple of boys named Fred Fontaine.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Sandy Appenheim, you must be mistaken.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Hired me to find her, and when I wouldn't spill it,
he beat it on me.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
What do they want with her?
Speaker 6 (20:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
She came here from Bosston a year ago. And yeah, huh.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Hello Holland, Holland.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Amazing, simply amazing the way that man willcuperates.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
How much be losing my touch? And I forg you
to be out for at least another couple of hours.
Is it all right with you? Girls? If I hang
up now?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Why?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Of course, mister Malone, you followed instructions beautifully.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
You thought you were responsible for Connie's murder.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Len's obviously a psychopath. Now look, Malone, I've got a
proposition for you.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Let's hear it.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
He'll cut you in for ten percent.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
How much does that mean in dollars and cents?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Don't you no long division?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Never even heard of her?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah something, Fred, I think we're wasting that time. I
don't think he knows anything about Connie. I'm inclined to
agree with you, Sandy. I'm sorry if we inconvenienced you,
mister Malone.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Now wait a minute, boys, you can't walk off like that.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
He's right fred I forgot something.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Thanks for reminding me, sweetheart.
Speaker 10 (21:59):
I'm much of.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
You're listening to the amazing mister Malone. Independence Day last
Wednesday was celebrated as a day of rededication to the
principles upon which our country was founded.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Each of us can play a part in this year
of rededication to.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
The principles of our founding fathers by taking several important steps.
The success of the activity will depend on, first a
more active participation by citizens in the affairs of the
nation's state and community. Second, an increased awareness of our
individual rights and liberties. Third, an augmented pride in America's
past and its accomplishments. And forth, a wider recognition of
(22:49):
the importance of making this country an example to the
world of the strength and effectiveness.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Of our own form of government.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
And now back to the amazing mister Malone.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Well, that's what I get for using my head. It
never fails. And after Sandy threw me that kiss, I
took off for Cloud sixteen.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
It's lovely up there this time of the year.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
There are twenty beautiful maidens for every man, and I'm
the only man alarm.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
And then someone went and yanked my cloud from under me.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
All right, little one, time to wake up? Come on,
come on.
Speaker 12 (23:33):
Oh I wish I had my camera here. I'd love
to have a picture of this.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Oh what happened? But you tell me you were here.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
I'm not so shut Oh my, Oh it's real pretty.
Who does he make a shut out? No?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I mean it. I mean that speak of red runner
through your head? Because you're a certain is you gonna say? Quiet?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
That's French? You know, Stop showing off your education.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Actually I never got out of kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Well, I guess this ought to convince you, convince me
or what? But June Holland didn't kill Connie Burton.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Now, what's one thing got to do with another?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
What do you think Fontaine and his boy went to
work on me?
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Which Fontaine is that? Fred?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah? You know him, not as well as i'd like to.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
He's a Boston product.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
What do you know about a Sandy Appenheim.
Speaker 12 (24:14):
Well, it's rumored that he's been associated with Fontane and
several banking ventures.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Well, there was at least one other member on the firm. Oh,
Connie Burton, you're crazy, listen, lieutenant. They came to Chicago
expressly to find her.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
And it's your contention.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
They did definitely pick him up and pick up Wreshie.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Holland anything else you'd like.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Well, while you're at it, you might as well pick
me up too. I'm not doing anybody any good on
this floor.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Hey, sweetheart me? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
How long do you intend to keep us here?
Speaker 10 (24:47):
I really don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I will look Sweetheart's enough Sandy, you know name, mister
Holland complaining. I never do Fontine. That's what I admire
about you. You always take your medicine like the little man.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
You walk right hold it, Holland.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
That'll do.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
Open them up, susband, Hi ak, Hello, counselor, Hey, what's
the idea the towel.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
On your head? I'm doing a mind reading act at
the orphield.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
Everybody here, everybody but missus Holland.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
But suppose you get it? Ahi, I say, I think
you gentlemen all know mister Malone.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Hello, boys, my it's awfully quiet all of a sudden.
It's a matter fonte. Don't you remember me?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I don't believe I've had a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Sure you did.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
You and your friend were up to see me this afternoon.
You remember that sending You can't prove it by me.
That's understandable. I've changed a little since then.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Look, let's send and I got a headache in my arm.
Do I have to sit through this?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
How about it?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Cantlin?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
All right, Holland, indifference to you will make it short
and sweet. You all know why we're here.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I don't, Okay, Fontaine, We'll take it from the beginning.
We're here to find out who is responsible for the
murder of Connie Burton.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
According to the paper I read, it was a lady
named June Holland.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
That was just enemy propaganda. Then suppose you tell us
the truth, sweetheart? All right, Sandy, Connie Burton came to
this town a year ago from Boston.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
That's the place that's noted for beings.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
It has a more recent claim to fame about fourteen
months ago, seven minutes at the Bank Messenger Company there
in wallst Off with a close to a million.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
And a half in cash. Hey remember that, friend. Vaguely
seems to me they never caught with the comfort.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
You ought to know why, because I gotta hunt you
with a brain behind that operation. Thanks for the compliment.
Well that's all you're gonna get out of us. What
do you mean you had a girlfriend named Connie Burton.
You slipped with the loot, and she was supposed to
meet you later so the mob could divvy up. Instead,
she took off for Chicago.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
That's very interesting.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
It gets better as it goes along, because that's where
Richie comes in. You what kind of a crack is
that they hired you to find Connie?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Didn't they? So you held out on him?
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Why not that it's any of your business? But I
went for the girl.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Tell me something, Holland, What does she have that got you?
I mean, besides all the money, how's that? All the
money is why you had her killed? Loog Malone, I
don't like those kind of Richie. Oh, I can't see
anything funny and murder, But then I've got no sense
of humor. Okay, Lieutenant, he's all yours.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
All right, Malone, You've played with that coffee long enough.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Fled seven. I mean, we have to go through this
same routine again.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Why should this might be different from all other night?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Well, it's perfectly simple, Lieutenant. Richie Holland killed Connie. He
was the one who hired that torpedo. How do you
know he told you where to find the boy to me.
Speaker 12 (27:39):
Yeah, that was a guy named Harold Sherman, a philosopher
type fellow. But tell me something alone. Why did Holland
go back to look up Fontee?
Speaker 4 (27:47):
That was just an act?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
He thought that way he removed suspicion from himself, and
he did cause for.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
A little proof. Well, who else knew where to find Connie?
Speaker 5 (27:56):
How about your clients, missus Holland?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
No, remember Richie move Connie from the Beverly right after
he met her.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Wow? What about Fontaine and Sandy?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Holland never told them. He pretended to pass out as
soon as they left. He called his friend Harold and
gave him his orders. Fontaine never would have killed her? O,
why not?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
You claimed she double cross him with that loot.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Sure, that's why they had to keep her alive if
they wanted to recover it. What makes you think they
didn't because they came to me later with an offer
of a split.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
They thought you had all that dough?
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Uh huh? But you're sure, Holland guy, Well, doesn't he
admit it?
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Now?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
You mean you haven't recovered that million and.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
A half And it looks like we never Well, what's the.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Matter with that Holland. Doesn't he know you can't take
it with you?
Speaker 5 (28:34):
You know I told him that, you know what he said.
Why if he can't take it with him, he ain't
going Let.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Me talk to him, Lieutenant.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Oh no, oh no, because.
Speaker 12 (28:42):
You're just amazing enough to figure out how he couldn't
manage it.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Good Night alone?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Ever hear the story of the day seland band. The
boy on trumpet was especially good. He got hot at
a party one night and blasted himself clear out of
this world.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Yeah, he was dynamite.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I'll tell you all about him next week. So why
not pick me up at my office at the same time.
I'll be waiting for you. Good Night's.

Speaker 8 (03:30):
Thank you, Ritchie.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yeah, do you realize what time it is?
Speaker 8 (03:34):
I've been waiting with dinner for three hours.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
That must be pretty cold by now.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
That's not funny. This is the fourth time this week.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Where have you been working?
Speaker 8 (03:44):
So that's the new name for it?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Bug? June, I've had a tough day.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Would you mind very much that we dispense with the
arguments for one night?
Speaker 8 (03:49):
But she never argues with you?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Who never argues with that girl?
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Look, June, there is no girl.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
I told you I'm working on a case.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
And why didn't you phone me?
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Or with a wire down?
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Retchie, I'm talking to you.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Fortunately I can't hear you.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
You'll hear plenty before I'm through.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
Is this the girl?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Where did you get that picture?
Speaker 8 (04:13):
I found it in one of your suits and I
love the inscription with.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
All my heart, Connie, it's not what you think.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
It never is.
Speaker 8 (04:21):
Well, you can tell her that the next time I
see her. On the next time, I know where she lived?
What you thought? You put one over on me?
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Didn't you know where she lives?
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Let me go. Well, I saw her in Marshall Fields
on Tuesday and I followed her. Oh, you too, are
real clever. She must have thought that by bleaching her
hair and going under the name Elilah Grayson, I wouldn't
be suspicious. I suppose she doesn't live at the Beverly.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
You saw this girl? She's living at the Beverly.
Speaker 8 (04:49):
You're not fooling me with this act. Ritchie? Where are
you going? Retchie?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (05:15):

I'm sorry if.

I wait, wait, wait, wait a minute, Who are you?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
What difference does it make?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Well?
Speaker 10 (05:31):
Are you?
Speaker 9 (05:32):
I just thought that I recognized your voice.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
My name is Richie Holland.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
Oh, well, assuming that I was Connie Burton, what's the message?
Speaker 6 (05:43):
A couple of your friends looking for you?
Speaker 7 (05:45):
Who read Fontaine?
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Boy? Name's Sandy.
Speaker 9 (05:49):
Why are you telling me this?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Well done? If I know? But I once saw a
picture of you and it did something to me.
Speaker 9 (05:57):
Look, if this is a trap iPhone.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
I hadn't worn you, I'd like to be a friend.

red latch you just passed.

Would you do me a favorite?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
They called me Richie?
Speaker 6 (06:36):
All right, no, no, go on see it, Richie. That's
kind of just the way I thought it would.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
I don't understand you.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
I don't understand myself. Do you mind if we park?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Not?
Speaker 9 (06:49):
If you want to?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Well, no, I liked your.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Hair better the other way.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
What you know, the way it was in the picture
before you bleached it.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
I hope you realize you're not making sense.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Nobody knows that better than I do. Listen, Connie, I'm
I'm a private detective.

know that that that was a fluke. See, June saw
your picture, remembered running into your field. She she followed
you to the Beverly.
Speaker 9 (07:28):

Speaker 9 (07:30):
She must be a real help to you in your work.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
No, she was just jealous and she had reason to be.
Speaker 9 (07:37):
What do you mean What.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Do you think I called you without notifying Fontaine.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
Maybe you wanted to check first.

No, looky, you're gonna think I'm crazy, But I fell
for you. You know what, first time I.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Saw your picture.

Speaker 9 (07:54):
In the Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, things like that just don't happen real life.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Richie.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Come again.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You remember our deal. Certainly you were to get a
hundred dollars a day plus expenses. So so outside of
that original thousand I gave you, you haven't asked for any more.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
That's not in character.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well, I pride myself on being a good judge of
human nature, and I'd say you had a large streak
of lossity in your makeup, really really, and I can't
figure out any reason why you'd miss an opportunity to
clip me, unless unless what you found Connie Burton.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
And why wouldn't I tell you?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Because you're real clever.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
What do you think, Sandy, Well, if you want my
humble opinion, I'd say it was lying.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
That's my opinion too.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You want me to try and coaxing him? Please listen,
you big love.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You put a finger on me, Sweetheart, was reaching for
his pop gun.
Speaker 10 (10:18):
Huh, that's not nice.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
If you don't get out of here or what you
no good?
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Dirty bumps?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
What do you think?
Speaker 7 (10:27):
I tell you now?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
All right, Sandy, carry on, come on, sweetheart?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Talk, I said talk?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
H what do you say?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Dropped it?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Okay, sweetheart.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I'm glad you don't give in too easy, because that's
just how I get my kicks.
Speaker 10 (10:53):
And tonight I'm really gonna lift.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
That second.
Speaker 10 (11:12):
Yes, hello, Connie, that's a very good question. But in
the final analysis, who is anybody?
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Are you crazy?
Speaker 10 (11:21):
You're too literal minded? Me, I'm a philosopher. Did you
ever read Nietsch or shopping? Isn't that silly? How are
you going to find the time?
Speaker 9 (11:35):
What's the idea of the gun?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I wish you.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Wouldn't take this personally, Connie Bolivia, I got nothing against Well,
if you've got to call me something, try Harry.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
I don't know you.
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Does anybody know anybody else? It's hard enough to know yourself.
As Spangler once wrote, you up to this. Oh now
you are not listening to me, Connie, You're you're like old.
See you're obsessed with your own petty problems.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But if you analyze any problem, the solution is it's
perfectly simple.
Speaker 10 (12:09):
In your case, a mere tightening of the fingers. See
how simple it was. Now you can sleep, Gunny. Your
problems are rope.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Just one of those things, just one of those crazy things,
one of those bells that now and then ring, Just
one of those things.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
It was just one of those nut that's funny.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
It was just one of those things, just one of
those crazy things.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
That must be in the wrong office.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Uh huh, Hello, is that you, Malone Brooks? Yeah, I'm
glad you called HERU ten of the darnas things happened
just a second ago. I walked into the office singing,
just one of.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Those things there. Ain't it amazing?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
You were fifteen minutes late, Gonson.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Well, that's when we picked up a little lady who
was waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Who her name is, June Holland.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
June Holland, Yeah, yeah, we're in cline that thinks she's responsible.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
For the murder of one Lilac Grace and alias Connie.
Speaker 4 (13:28):

Speaker 5 (13:31):
Yeah, so it figures you must see in it.

Absolutely well, maybe.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
This is our week to amaze you. Come on down alone.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
We'll waiting.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You are listening to the Amazing Mister Malone. It's the

Best In Sunday evening listening, pleasure tune to NBC for
Tom Conway as The Saint. Screen actor Lloyd Nolan featured
as Martin Kain private Eye, Carlton Young as the Whisperer,
and adventures in the troubled lands of the Far East
with mister Moto. And now back to the amazing mister Malone.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
That's where I got into the act.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Two hours and forty seven minutes after the murder of
Connie Burton, I was John at headquarters. As I walked
over from my office, I made an interesting discovery. The
path from my door leading to the Homicide Bureau was
an inch lower than the adjacent territory.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I was in a rush.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Well, I live and breathe.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
That's what it makes with me. Lieutenant? What why are
you living? Breathe?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Oh that's a splendid boy.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Where's my client?
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Oh? Did you care to pass a few pleasanties with you?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Where's June Holland?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (15:33):
I guess I don't have it for you anymore, Sessman,
someone mentioned my name.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Mister Malone would like to see his client. His slightest
wish is my command.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Have you boys ever considered radio as a career?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Well, we're working on a night, but was stuck for
a name.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Why'd you call it the Bob Hope Show?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
You heard that somewhere and shut off that teletype. Well,
as long as you ask so nicely.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
All right here, missus Holland, are you malone?
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Don't that's that counselor it might tend to incriminate and degrade.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
You don't mind him, missus Holland. His mother was frightened
by the happiness boys.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Sit down, thank you. How what do you know about
this Connie Burton? Nothing?
Speaker 8 (16:10):
Absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I suppose you didn't know that your husband was running
around with it.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
It's a lie. It's just business with Richie. He was
hired to find her.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
What do you mean he was hired to find her?
Speaker 8 (16:22):
He's a private detective.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Oh what do you got to say to that, lieutenant?
Oh it was hardly business. You see, her husband was
seeing this Connie for over a month. Right after they met,
he made her move from the Beverly to the Martin.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
That's not true.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
And why were you around the Beverly checking on her?
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Because I was just trying to help Richie.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Despite the fact that he moved out on you four
weeks ago.
Speaker 8 (16:42):
Well, I didn't kill her. I never handled a gun
in my life.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
That's possible.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Well, you mean she hired a torpedo for the job.
He had a line on him. But this time, I mean,
why you expect my client to sit here?
Speaker 5 (16:52):
If you have no objects?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I've got a hundred, but I don't think they'll do
me any good. Well, sit tight, missus, Holland. I'll get
you dispossessed as soon as I can.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Yeah, I'm looking for Hey, what happened to you?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I got to mind my own business. Oh, maybe a
moral on that for you. I can't see where you're Richie, Holland,
what if I am? I'm glad to know you.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
My name is John J. Malone. Well, I'm representing your wife.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
What for?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Did you know the cops are holding her for murder?
Speaker 5 (17:28):
What are you mumbling about?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
A girl named Connie Burton was knocked off tonight? What
did you say, hey, easy fellow? Your ruin and the
drew asked.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
You something alone?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Obviously the police haven't been here yet. What did you
say about Connie? She was murdered and I must have
told her. You must have told who was any of
your business?
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Where is she?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Your wife?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Now?
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Connie?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Just where you might expect. I gotta see her.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I have a minute, Holland. Your wife is in a spot.
The police thinks she was behind the kill. Crazy, I
know who did it?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Who have a mind? This my own way? They called
your way murder. They call it the last I heard.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
And you shouldn't complain.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
You make it another case yet, see what you can
do for us on a family race.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Did you see the night's paper, Fontine?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Oh, I haven't saiday.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
It's a wonderful story on a front page. I mean
wonderful if the sword it appeals to you, and it
certainly does to you.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yeah, you bet you.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
He's a little girl named Connie Burton was shot and
killed last night. Let's see that Connie Burton Kevin. I
heard that name before.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I wouldn't know.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I'm probably confusing it with two other girls. Anyway. They're
holding the wife of a private dick named Richie.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Holland for the murder.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
This may come as a shock to you, Sandy, but
I know how to read well.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I didn't want you to strain yourself. Seems this June
Holland was jep.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Who's that get behind the door?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
I got you just a moment.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
I at Fonseine.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
All I can say, Holland is your recuperative powers must
be tremendous they are, Sandy, it'll be awfully disappointed in himself.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
What can I do for me?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I just wanted to check something that I'd tell you
where to find Connie before I passed out. What do
you think I'm asking my questions now? I'll put away
that gun. Richie might give people wrong idea.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah oo for example, for example me, what nah as
you're wor sweet Hide? Just drop the cannony? Would you
be uh kind enough to dispose of that? Mister Fontaine gladly?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Hey, you made a feel good. I'll listen you guys.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
We'll take it easy, sweet Hide, we'll get back to you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
What do you suggest, Well, he's pretty persistent. Let's dream
up something very special for the boy, something that will
really discourage him.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
Hey, I got an idea.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Well, suppose you illustrate on mister Holland. He's audio Sandy.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Hello, Hello, let me.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Let me talk to John J.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Malone.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You're molding boys. Speak up.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
I want to talk to John J. Malone.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Who where is this?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
It's Ritchie Holland.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You sound like you had another accident.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
I'll tell you who killed Connie.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Oh, A couple of boys named Fred Fontaine.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Sandy Appenheim, you must be mistaken.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Hired me to find her, and when I wouldn't spill it,
he beat it on me.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
What do they want with her?
Speaker 6 (20:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
She came here from Bosston a year ago. And yeah, huh.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Hello Holland, Holland.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Amazing, simply amazing the way that man willcuperates.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
How much be losing my touch? And I forg you
to be out for at least another couple of hours.
Is it all right with you? Girls? If I hang
up now?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Why?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Of course, mister Malone, you followed instructions beautifully.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
You thought you were responsible for Connie's murder.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Len's obviously a psychopath. Now look, Malone, I've got a
proposition for you.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Let's hear it.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
He'll cut you in for ten percent.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
How much does that mean in dollars and cents?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Don't you no long division?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Never even heard of her?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah something, Fred, I think we're wasting that time. I
don't think he knows anything about Connie. I'm inclined to
agree with you, Sandy. I'm sorry if we inconvenienced you,
mister Malone.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Now wait a minute, boys, you can't walk off like that.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
He's right fred I forgot something.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Thanks for reminding me, sweetheart.
Speaker 10 (21:59):
I'm much of.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
You're listening to the amazing mister Malone. Independence Day last
Wednesday was celebrated as a day of rededication to the
principles upon which our country was founded.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Each of us can play a part in this year
of rededication to.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
The principles of our founding fathers by taking several important steps.
The success of the activity will depend on, first a
more active participation by citizens in the affairs of the
nation's state and community. Second, an increased awareness of our
individual rights and liberties. Third, an augmented pride in America's
past and its accomplishments. And forth, a wider recognition of
(22:49):
the importance of making this country an example to the
world of the strength and effectiveness.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Of our own form of government.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
And now back to the amazing mister Malone.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Well, that's what I get for using my head. It
never fails. And after Sandy threw me that kiss, I
took off for Cloud sixteen.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
It's lovely up there this time of the year.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
There are twenty beautiful maidens for every man, and I'm
the only man alarm.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
And then someone went and yanked my cloud from under me.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
All right, little one, time to wake up? Come on,
come on.
Speaker 12 (23:33):
Oh I wish I had my camera here. I'd love
to have a picture of this.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Oh what happened? But you tell me you were here.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
I'm not so shut Oh my, Oh it's real pretty.
Who does he make a shut out? No?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I mean it. I mean that speak of red runner
through your head? Because you're a certain is you gonna say? Quiet?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
That's French? You know, Stop showing off your education.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Actually I never got out of kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Well, I guess this ought to convince you, convince me
or what? But June Holland didn't kill Connie Burton.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Now, what's one thing got to do with another?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
What do you think Fontaine and his boy went to
work on me?
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Which Fontaine is that? Fred?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah? You know him, not as well as i'd like to.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
He's a Boston product.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
What do you know about a Sandy Appenheim.
Speaker 12 (24:14):
Well, it's rumored that he's been associated with Fontane and
several banking ventures.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Well, there was at least one other member on the firm. Oh,
Connie Burton, you're crazy, listen, lieutenant. They came to Chicago
expressly to find her.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
And it's your contention.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
They did definitely pick him up and pick up Wreshie.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Holland anything else you'd like.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Well, while you're at it, you might as well pick
me up too. I'm not doing anybody any good on
this floor.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Hey, sweetheart me? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
How long do you intend to keep us here?
Speaker 10 (24:47):
I really don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I will look Sweetheart's enough Sandy, you know name, mister
Holland complaining. I never do Fontine. That's what I admire
about you. You always take your medicine like the little man.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
You walk right hold it, Holland.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
That'll do.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
Open them up, susband, Hi ak, Hello, counselor, Hey, what's
the idea the towel.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
On your head? I'm doing a mind reading act at
the orphield.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
Everybody here, everybody but missus Holland.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
But suppose you get it? Ahi, I say, I think
you gentlemen all know mister Malone.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Hello, boys, my it's awfully quiet all of a sudden.
It's a matter fonte. Don't you remember me?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
I don't believe I've had a pleasure.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Sure you did.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
You and your friend were up to see me this afternoon.
You remember that sending You can't prove it by me.
That's understandable. I've changed a little since then.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Look, let's send and I got a headache in my arm.
Do I have to sit through this?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
How about it?
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Cantlin?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
All right, Holland, indifference to you will make it short
and sweet. You all know why we're here.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I don't, Okay, Fontaine, We'll take it from the beginning.
We're here to find out who is responsible for the
murder of Connie Burton.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
According to the paper I read, it was a lady
named June Holland.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
That was just enemy propaganda. Then suppose you tell us
the truth, sweetheart? All right, Sandy, Connie Burton came to
this town a year ago from Boston.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
That's the place that's noted for beings.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
It has a more recent claim to fame about fourteen
months ago, seven minutes at the Bank Messenger Company there
in wallst Off with a close to a million.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
And a half in cash. Hey remember that, friend. Vaguely
seems to me they never caught with the comfort.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
You ought to know why, because I gotta hunt you
with a brain behind that operation. Thanks for the compliment.
Well that's all you're gonna get out of us. What
do you mean you had a girlfriend named Connie Burton.
You slipped with the loot, and she was supposed to
meet you later so the mob could divvy up. Instead,
she took off for Chicago.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
That's very interesting.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
It gets better as it goes along, because that's where
Richie comes in. You what kind of a crack is
that they hired you to find Connie?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Didn't they? So you held out on him?
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Why not that it's any of your business? But I
went for the girl.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Tell me something, Holland, What does she have that got you?
I mean, besides all the money, how's that? All the
money is why you had her killed? Loog Malone, I
don't like those kind of Richie. Oh, I can't see
anything funny and murder, But then I've got no sense
of humor. Okay, Lieutenant, he's all yours.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
All right, Malone, You've played with that coffee long enough.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Fled seven. I mean, we have to go through this
same routine again.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Why should this might be different from all other night?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Well, it's perfectly simple, Lieutenant. Richie Holland killed Connie. He
was the one who hired that torpedo. How do you
know he told you where to find the boy to me.
Speaker 12 (27:39):
Yeah, that was a guy named Harold Sherman, a philosopher
type fellow. But tell me something alone. Why did Holland
go back to look up Fontee?
Speaker 4 (27:47):
That was just an act?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
He thought that way he removed suspicion from himself, and
he did cause for.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
A little proof. Well, who else knew where to find Connie?
Speaker 5 (27:56):
How about your clients, missus Holland?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
No, remember Richie move Connie from the Beverly right after
he met her.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Wow? What about Fontaine and Sandy?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Holland never told them. He pretended to pass out as
soon as they left. He called his friend Harold and
gave him his orders. Fontaine never would have killed her? O,
why not?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
You claimed she double cross him with that loot.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Sure, that's why they had to keep her alive if
they wanted to recover it. What makes you think they
didn't because they came to me later with an offer
of a split.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
They thought you had all that dough?
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Uh huh? But you're sure, Holland guy, Well, doesn't he
admit it?
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Now?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
You mean you haven't recovered that million and.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
A half And it looks like we never Well, what's the.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Matter with that Holland. Doesn't he know you can't take
it with you?
Speaker 5 (28:34):
You know I told him that, you know what he said.
Why if he can't take it with him, he ain't
going Let.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Me talk to him, Lieutenant.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Oh no, oh no, because.
Speaker 12 (28:42):
You're just amazing enough to figure out how he couldn't
manage it.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Good Night alone?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Ever hear the story of the day seland band. The
boy on trumpet was especially good. He got hot at
a party one night and blasted himself clear out of
this world.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Yeah, he was dynamite.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
