Speaker 7 (03:24):
They don't communicate from Korea And now for the local news.
A desperate gunman and bushed by the police to night
escape by forcing his partner to run into a hail
of police bullets. Police cornered Ted Connie and Mitchell Harper.
The two were breaking into a midtown jewelry store. Ordered
to surrender, Connie put the gun in Harper's back and
forced Harper to run from their hiding place, thus diverting
the police search light and gunfire for a few seconds necessary.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
To give Connie his chance to make his get away.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Harper gave police this version of Connie's escape just before
he died from injuries, the saying to the joy.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Who's there?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Just me? Allison?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Sorry to wake yeh Connie? Yeah, you got to sleep
with your windows open, Alison. The fresh air is good
for you. What do you want?
Speaker 3 (04:16):

in with no arguments, so get it. It's something going wrong,
It's something go you stooly. What happened?

for us. Stay a law. If you didn't know I
did not.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Don't don't.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You're gonna pay for this, Arniston. You're gonna pay fast
because your pounds of cops are gonna figure me to

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Only one trouble, price too high. No, we didn't get
around talking to terms.
Speaker 3 (08:19):

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay, I'll go to work on it.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Last time he missed me by a fraction of an
inch would be next time.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
He'll hit the center.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And now back to the Adventure of a Falcon. It's
half a day since Mike Wearing went to work for
Frank Wagner. Now on a small restaurant near General Square
in Jersey City. Mike slips into a booth and smiles
as a nervous little man sitting across the table from him.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Hello, Allison, Who are you?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Mike Wearing?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
How do you know my name?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I have your picture.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I've been looking for you. How'd you find me?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Very simple, Alison, You're not as lost as you think
you are.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Besides, I have my sources of information. What do you
want with me? Just to find out? If you're as
good at answering questions.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
As you aren't asking them.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
What questions?
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Now?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Number one? Well, do you know about the Wagner's shooting?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Who says I know anything?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Wagner?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
What does he say about me?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
He said, you have information about the shooting?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
For sale?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
He's lying?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Why should he? All right, it's true, Werry, I do
have information.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
What do I do?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Sit here?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
While you argued out with yourself? I know who tried
to kill wagon Good?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
What did it cost me? Are you working for Wagner?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Uh huh?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
But just what Wagoner's after to keep on living? He says,
I can tell you who shot at him?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Is that it? Uh huh? You said the same thing.
So I'm waiting.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Are you sure you're working for Wagner?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Wearing? Why not? How can I be sure?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
There's a phone called Wagner? All right, all right, you're
working for wagon But more's your daughter Allison?
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Nothing.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I'll tell you who shout him?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
For free?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
For free? I want to get out of this. Okay,
here's a chance to start getting him.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Who did the shooting?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Ted?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Connie? Honeye? Why oh? Connie got the idea?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Wagoner put the law on him. Where do you get
that idea?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He accuse me.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
When I convinced them it wasn't me, he said, then
I must be Wagner.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
That's all I know about it. I see, That's why
I ran out when I heard Wagner was shut up with.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Sure Connie did it? Connie knew I was sure, so
he might try to shut me up.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
All right, Allison, let's go go where home? But if
Connie I found, do you hear?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
What makes you think Connie wants Hey?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
That's a fuss and I don't think you have to
worry about him anyway, Allison, So you can go home.
Connie's in enough trouble. Wasn't me very smart of him
to go looking for more?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It's right, Wearring.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
But what am I do if it turns out Connie
isn't very smart?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh? Well, you follow Allison.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It was quick Warring, Oh, not much toward Wagner.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
And I check with missing persons. They referred me to
the robbery division.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You mean the police knew where he were. Yeah, seems
he's been a stooley for them.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
They used him on Connie, so when Connie escaped, they
figured he might go gunning for Allison.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
They sent a man to cover Allison.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
He followed them to Jersey City, and Allison never knew.
But I didn't see any reason to tell him. But
they knew where to find him if they wanted him.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
And uh, now now he's home again. Suppose he skips
out again. Now I got a man watching his place
this time.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
We may need him to clinch things against Connie if
we find Connie.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Wonder where he got the idea.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I tipped them to the police m from Alison? That
would you say, Alison, Allison's a liar.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I'm willing to bet he steered Connie to you when
turn came.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Gunning for me. Could be so, Now all we need
is to find Connie.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
That's what I like about working for you, Wagoner, and
just one goose chase after another for wearing what's better
for chasing geese and a falcon?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Oh, missus Wagner, come in. Thank you? So you left
your patients alone.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
You'll be all right till I get back. If he
needs anything, it's a phone right by the bed.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Well, what can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (12:56):
I wanted to talk to you without.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Paint knowing what about Well?
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Now that the nurse is going. There's no one at
our place except Frank and me, and he's completely helpless.
He tried to walk to day, but he only took
two steps and fell.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
M M.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
Well, suppose Connie comes back and tries to shoot Frank again.
What could I do? I I think that we ought
to have.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
A man around the place, don't you, at least at night?
Might be a good idea.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
I didn't say anything to Frank. I didn't wanna worry him.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Well, I'll see if I can get you someone someone,
But I.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
More's the matter, h.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Nothing, It's just that, well, you're already in the case,
and they do have a.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Guest room, and I see tell me something, missus Wagner.
Speaker 8 (13:41):
Why don't you call me Patty? Now that we know
each other, do we, well, don't we? I feel as
if I'd known you all my life.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I feel as though I've known you all the twenty minutes. Well,
if you come to our place, you'll get a chance
to know me better. That's I believe you don't like me.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Did I say that you think I'm a healed because
Franks laid up.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
He told me a good girl. Don't take him too seriously.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Might he talks protect too? Will you come to protect Frank?
Speaker 8 (14:10):
Connie might come back.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
To Sure it's Connie.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
I thought that was said?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And no, not quiet.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
There are a couple of things. What can you tell
me about the shooting? Can you add anything to what
your husband told me?
Speaker 8 (14:20):
I'm afraid No, it wasn't home that night. Oh you're
trying to jest something.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
No, no, no, excuse me, Patty?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Hello, right, Fike Wagner?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Oh, yes, Wagner.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Rank?
Speaker 8 (14:34):
What does he want?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Allison's his phone?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Reg you want a jew cause he's contacting Connie. That
was where you can find him? Where he wouldn't say
over the phone.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
I think he wants cash.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Mm starting that routine again. All right, Wagner, I'll be
ride over. How on what is it we're going to
visit Allison?
Speaker 8 (14:54):
We I have to get back to Frank. He's alone.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Maybe he's spatter off that way?
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Mine?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
But if we're going to get to know each other,
we might as well start by sticking together.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
Now, you walk so fast?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Something's going on that I don't like.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Here we are I had a man stacking across the
street to see that Alison didn't leave, but he wasn't
there when we came in. Could mean that Allison has
left in my man's tailing him. But then why would
Allison send for us?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I hear somebody maybe repining on it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh, you wearing so you're.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Not tailing him?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I thought I asked you to stay across the street.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
But unless Alison went out.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
He's uh the what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Why an't you tailing him?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
This is where he's out?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
But keeps what? I heard a shot?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I came up to investigate.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Somebody must have come in the back way. Allison's dead.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You want to look for yourself.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
After dark? Already?
Speaker 8 (16:03):
I didn't intend to be gone this long. I hope
thanks all right? Do you believe it or not?
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Mike?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
I don't want anything to happen to him. Then I'd
really feel guilty and stop smiling.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Was I smiling?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Well?
Speaker 8 (16:14):
After all, I'm the one who called the ambulance and
Frank was shot. I saved his life. Don't forget that.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
You called thelance. Yes, thought you weren't home that night.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
I got home a little after the shooting and found
Frank on the floor. I say, besides, I meant any
harm to Frank. Now, would I ask you to come
along to protect him?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Is that why you asked me one of the reasons?
Speaker 8 (16:32):
Of course, I do have other yes, So I've noticed.
I think we'd get along, Mike, once you get over
your silly.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Suspicion, and once you get the idea that all I'm going.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Along for is to protect Frank.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Alright, only one thing bothers me, Angel what's that?
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Who's going to protect me?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
You'll have to forgive me, Wagner. I make a habit
of coming through windows accent christening your mind.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Connie.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Yeah, Connie, I've been hauled up long enough.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Figure it's time for me to blow.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
So I thought I better settle with you and Allison first.
Too bad, you hear Royll along.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I thought you'd be crazy enough to come here, Connie.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Nobody did. That's how come I'm here barking up.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
The wrong tree.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Power.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I had nothing to do with your brush with.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
The law, Allison says.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Difference is Alison your idea of the soul of honesty?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Now, Wagner, but neither a year.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
You've got no call to suspect me, except Allison.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Says, you're gonna prove he was lying.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Am I going to do that? That's your problem? Get Allison,
bring him here, face the thing.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I've had enough of that kind of starting Wagner.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I don't know what to say. I don't say anything.
I'll settle with you, just like I was sure.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I'll draw. What can I lose? But you're life.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Oh, Connie, wait, I've waited, Lyne May.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Somebody's coming must be Petty wiscon says, you don't make
a sound way.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
It's tell her it is go ahead, yes, Patty, everything's
all right.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
She's got somebody with it. Sounds like.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't have to cover both.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I remember you. Not a sound like wearing.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Thank I thought it'd be a good eye.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Life's just full of little surprise.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Get over next to Wagoner's bet you.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Don't do it wearing, you can't watchers both where he
is shut up, White's wearing. Now's your chance here, all right,
Patty goot went into the wall.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
He's going down the final escape.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I can't follow because he's got a clear shot at
me in the window.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Patty, only the door.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Turn off the line alight.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
That's better you see him, and now the odds are
my way.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
All right, Mester that's far enough.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I got a gun.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yes, I don't take another step.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
That's the show.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
I'm not pulling a stand still.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
The next won't be a warning.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
All right, don't shoot again and drop your gun. Go ahead, okay,
drop it dropped something.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I heard it.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I don't know if it was a gun. It's too
dark down there, but I'll go see and I'll call
it me. No, he wasn't fluffing.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Don't see you later, Patty.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
All Back to the Adventures of a fuk. It's half
a minute since Mike Wearing ordered Ted Connie to surrender,
and Connie.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Went through the motions of obeying.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Now Mike approaches Connie on the fire escape, hoping that
Connie can neither.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Fire nor escape. I said, fella, just stay that way
until I pick this up.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I'm gonna callt you Weary. You must be the FuG.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, you must be Ted, Connie. I've been looking for you, Lena.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Stay. You're a smart Cookie Wearing, so maybe you'd be
interested in the proposition.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I don't sell out, Connie, say you're not smart. It
depends on the point of view.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I can make it what you while yeh, no, dice,
I don't need that kind of money.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
There's nothing I can say. I can't think of a thing.
You'll be sorry about this? Worry heavy, conye, not half
a sorry as you.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Let's go, I talk and I'll hold him till you
get here.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Ride so long, oh Connie. The police are on their way.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I heard you ask the sergeant Carver with a homicide.
I didn't kill anybody.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You tried to kill me?
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Did you kill out?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I didn't, I listened as Wagner he has, well.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Tell me something, connye?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
And why why.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Did you come here? I don't have to answer to you?
All right, Wagner? Will how about it? Wagner?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Just as you guessed?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Well, he said, Allison told him that I was the
one who put the law.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
So we came to finish up. But he started before.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I didn't shoot you, Papa, but you were going to
shoot him this time.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I was gonna make him talk.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
What did you do from the moment you entered this room?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Nothing? It was only here a minute when you.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Came, all right, in that minute, nothing? He threatened me.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
All right, now, let's have it from the beginning, from
when he entered. But I'm lying here reading and I
hear it crash. I look around. He's coming through the window.
He has a gun, he tells me he's been hold
up long enough. He's getting out now. The first he's
hting with Alison and me.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Oh, with Allison in you.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's what he said.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I didn't get around Allison. I came here first.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That you said you were settling with Alison.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Look wherey you got me.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
They're going to throw the book at me. But I
didn't shoot Allison. They're not getting me for that.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I will see Connie Wagner. Get up?
Speaker 6 (21:29):
What?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Get up? Walk across the room. I can't just from
the bed to the door and back. What's the idea?
I want to see how strong you are. I can't
walk at all without help. I'm too weak. Can you crawl?
I don't know. Maybe what are you trying to prove?
Maybe you're stronger than you pretend.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Why should he pretend?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Makes a good alibi?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Hey, that's an idea. Maybe he killed Alison and a
kind of Alison's sick me on him? No? Crazy?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Do you think he crawled all the way to Alison?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I haven't said put out of this bed alone?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
And we call him on a weary make him get up,
make them walk.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Maybe I will, Connie, provided you explain one thing.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
What's that? How come you and you? Allison was shot?
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Uh? Well? You so I said he was killed. I
didn't say how well that's right?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Where well?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I uh, I just figured it was part of the
same deal. Wagner was shot, So I figured if it
was the same person both times, as Allison be shot too,
except you accused me.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I didn't shoot myself.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I didn't think about you.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Joy.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You to to what Waring said about maybe you could walk.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
That's pretty flimsy, Connie.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh, I wouldn't say that, Wagner, and I'll accept that explanation.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
What Worry has. It's plausible enough so that leaves you wagoner.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I promised Connie if he could explain, I'd ask you
to walk.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
I'd go ahead, walk.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I can't, all right, I won't argue about it as
long as you can walk into the court room.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
You're serious about this night. You don't really think it
prank killed Allison?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Sure you know Wagner you told me you're a friendly guy.
If I have an idea, you're going to lose your
popularity off.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Of a suddenly.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
After all, you can't shoot your friends and have them too.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
I still can hardly believe it, Mike.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Why you were already fed up with Frank, But I.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Never thought he'd kill him the one Alice war Alison
kne him better than you, didn't, he is in order
to get off the spot with Connie, and Alison blamed
Frank for tipping the police to Cannie.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
But Alison knew as soon as Frank heard about it.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
He'd tried to get even, so Allison tried to kill
him to protect.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Yourself, but he only wounded him instead, and.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Frank wanted revenge, so he hired me to find Alison farm.
He knew Alison did the shooting, but he pretended not
to know because he wanted to.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Blame Connie, so he did't flame him for the murder.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Well, what put you on the right track?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I was a sprecious when Frank said Allison called him
wanting to talk to me.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
He could have called me direct.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Maybe Allison thought you were at optly, yes.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But when I wasn't, Why didn't Allison call me direct?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
All Right?
Speaker 8 (23:55):
That made you suspicions, But you certainly must have had
something more than that to make you.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Accuse me, Oh I did. He's lying about not being
able to walk. Finished. How did you know he was lying?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Well, I said he couldn't walk at.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
All, not even from his bed to the door.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Well, well, it was light when you left him.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
When you returned, it was dark, but Frank had been reading.
The light was on in the room and the light
switches by the door. I remembered, because you turned the
lights out of the door when I was chasing Carne.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Right, so Frank could walk.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
And that's all there is to it. Huh huh.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
And now that Frank's and Jail's a murdering me. But
you won't be so stand office.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
As far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
After all, I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
He was like me once you got to know me better. Yeah,
it could be, but I've always heard that what you
don't know won't hurt you.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
So Angel, I'm afraid part of my education will have
to remain sadly neglected. We hope
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh Runner, I'd love to see it in Night Angel,
but somebody took a shot.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
At one of my clients and he's afraid it may
happen again. And you know, a thing like that has.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Become pretty monotonous, so much so that my client could
get bored to death. The Adventures of the Falcon starring
West Stamen. You met the Falcon first and his best
selling novels. Then you saw him in his thrilling motion
picture series. Now join him on the air when the
Falcon sl the Case of the Friendly Target, and now
(01:19):

New York when it's a Dan pulls up to the
head of an alley and two men get out.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Alright, Mitch, well Claire, let's go here.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Connie's dark in this alley. Never mind, Mitch, don't use
the flashlight yet. We'll fight it.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
It's a fight. The uh here we are?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Where are you?
Speaker 5 (01:50):

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I can't see right over here? Wait?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Oh yeah, Allison said, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
A simple lot.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Won't take a minute out hold of light.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Work fast so we won't have to have it on long.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Okay, can you see here?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Connie.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Now, I, hey, who'd the other light comes from?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
A spot on? I s it's a trap?
Speaker 6 (02:08):
What their hands?
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Don't make any other move?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
We had to cover? We do. It's a trash barrel.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Drop behind it.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Okay they get you, Mitch, No, I made it?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Now what?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yes, Connie, you got punch to the other.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Covered Connie, they know your name.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
It's a trip right, they were waiting for us. Where'll
I get that?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I gotta get out of here first with your hands
une coming that.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yes, we'll have to make a run for it. Crazy Connie.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
They're roll around us with guns and with the spot
on us. They see us and we can't see them,
and not letting them take me. Come on, car, I
tell you run for the car. Go right through their fire.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
They're already chance. I'll never make it.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Okay, take your choice, their guns or mine? What that's
my gun in your back? When I count three, you
start running, or I pull a trigger and Connie.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
No cone ouns come out reaching always done players.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
It'll be all we need you going. Mitch.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
No, no, Connie, I can't one you go, Connie, leave
me here.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Sure I hit one of us alone on only chances
to run at the same time, give us spot target.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I can't Connie.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Please three shoot Connie. I'm going.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
They don't communicate from Korea And now for the local news.
A desperate gunman and bushed by the police to night
escape by forcing his partner to run into a hail
of police bullets. Police cornered Ted Connie and Mitchell Harper.
The two were breaking into a midtown jewelry store. Ordered
to surrender, Connie put the gun in Harper's back and
forced Harper to run from their hiding place, thus diverting
the police search light and gunfire for a few seconds necessary.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
To give Connie his chance to make his get away.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Harper gave police this version of Connie's escape just before
he died from injuries, the saying to the joy.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Who's there?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Just me? Allison?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Sorry to wake yeh Connie? Yeah, you got to sleep
with your windows open, Alison. The fresh air is good
for you. What do you want?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Why don't you come to.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
The door windows off for less resistance? I want it
in with no arguments, so get it. It's something going wrong,
It's something go you stooly. What happened?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Did they get the alarm fix?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
We never had time to find out that were waiting
for us. Stay a law. If you didn't know I
did not.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Don't don't.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You're gonna pay for this, Arniston. You're gonna pay fast
because your pounds of cops are gonna figure me to
come here. But I couldn't run off without saying good
bye here.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You got it wrong, Connie.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Believe me, it's no you, Sallison. You willn't want who
steered me into the tray with the trap on it?
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Not much?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I shouldn't. I I'm not trying to let me explain, explained.
I got the dough from you, and I got it
from somebody else.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
There's a stool. It's it's him, not me.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
He holl his truth to help me.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I thought he was on the level. I didn't know about.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Right, you got it for somebody else? Who else?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
What are you gonna do to one? If I tell
you we lay off me?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You pants? Now? Who is it?
Speaker 7 (05:11):

I'll talk? I'm listening.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It's it's white Frank Whiteman. Yeah, why didn't you tell
me about this when you're laid out that? Yeah, like
has been going straight. They didn't want nobody to know
he was selling information.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
At least that's what he told me. If this is
just a store a life, No it isn't.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
It isn't. Get hold of wagon, make him talk. You'll

Speaker 3 (06:32):
He had a close call.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
He certainly did. The bullet just missed his heart for
a while. The doctors didn't hold out much hope.
Speaker 3 (06:38):

the night. I'm in bed?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
See doorbell rings? I opened the door bang like that.
I'm in the hospital with a hole in my chest.
Speaker 1 (07:15):

Speaker 6 (07:30):
Yes, but I'm going to need a lot of nursing.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I don't know I can handle.
Speaker 4 (07:33):

Speaker 3 (07:35):
There's the water?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
All right, I'll be right there. Good kid that wedding.
Hate to do this to her, but still so doug.
One week, I can't move out of this bed.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Now what what are we talking about? The shooting?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Yes, I didn't see who did it.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
You're not giving much to go on? All right, I'll
give you something.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
What's a fellow named Bardy Allison?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I think he knows he did the shooting?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
What makes you think that?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
He called me in the hospital, We talked. I got
the idea knows something but wants cash to spill it.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
All right, I'll get to Allison.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
See what he knows.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Only one trouble, price too high. No, we didn't get
around talking to terms.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, I sent a wife around to see Allison disappeared.
Oh great, would you find Allison? It's ten to one.
You'll get to the boy we're looking for.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay, I'll go to work on it.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Do that wedding and hurry, will you?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Last time he missed me by a fraction of an
inch would be next time.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
He'll hit the center.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And now back to the Adventure of a Falcon. It's
half a day since Mike Wearing went to work for
Frank Wagner. Now on a small restaurant near General Square
in Jersey City. Mike slips into a booth and smiles
as a nervous little man sitting across the table from him.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Hello, Allison, Who are you?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Mike Wearing?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
How do you know my name?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I have your picture.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I've been looking for you. How'd you find me?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Very simple, Alison, You're not as lost as you think
you are.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Besides, I have my sources of information. What do you
want with me? Just to find out? If you're as
good at answering questions.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
As you aren't asking them.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
What questions?
Speaker 6 (09:39):
Now?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Number one? Well, do you know about the Wagner's shooting?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Who says I know anything?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Wagner?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
What does he say about me?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
He said, you have information about the shooting?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
For sale?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
He's lying?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Why should he? All right, it's true, Werry, I do
have information.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
What do I do?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Sit here?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
While you argued out with yourself? I know who tried
to kill wagon Good?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
What did it cost me? Are you working for Wagner?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Uh huh?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
But just what Wagoner's after to keep on living? He says,
I can tell you who shot at him?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Is that it? Uh huh? You said the same thing.
So I'm waiting.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Are you sure you're working for Wagner?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Wearing? Why not? How can I be sure?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
There's a phone called Wagner? All right, all right, you're
working for wagon But more's your daughter Allison?
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Nothing.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I'll tell you who shout him?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
For free?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
For free? I want to get out of this. Okay,
here's a chance to start getting him.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Who did the shooting?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Ted?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Connie? Honeye? Why oh? Connie got the idea?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Wagoner put the law on him. Where do you get
that idea?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He accuse me.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
When I convinced them it wasn't me, he said, then
I must be Wagner.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
That's all I know about it. I see, That's why
I ran out when I heard Wagner was shut up with.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Sure Connie did it? Connie knew I was sure, so
he might try to shut me up.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
All right, Allison, let's go go where home? But if
Connie I found, do you hear?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
What makes you think Connie wants Hey?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
That's a fuss and I don't think you have to
worry about him anyway, Allison, So you can go home.
Connie's in enough trouble. Wasn't me very smart of him
to go looking for more?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It's right, Wearring.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
But what am I do if it turns out Connie
isn't very smart?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh? Well, you follow Allison.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It was quick Warring, Oh, not much toward Wagner.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
And I check with missing persons. They referred me to
the robbery division.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You mean the police knew where he were. Yeah, seems
he's been a stooley for them.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
They used him on Connie, so when Connie escaped, they
figured he might go gunning for Allison.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
They sent a man to cover Allison.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
He followed them to Jersey City, and Allison never knew.
But I didn't see any reason to tell him. But
they knew where to find him if they wanted him.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
And uh, now now he's home again. Suppose he skips
out again. Now I got a man watching his place
this time.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
We may need him to clinch things against Connie if
we find Connie.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Wonder where he got the idea.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I tipped them to the police m from Alison? That
would you say, Alison, Allison's a liar.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I'm willing to bet he steered Connie to you when
turn came.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Gunning for me. Could be so, Now all we need
is to find Connie.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
That's what I like about working for you, Wagoner, and
just one goose chase after another for wearing what's better
for chasing geese and a falcon?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Oh, missus Wagner, come in. Thank you? So you left
your patients alone.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
You'll be all right till I get back. If he
needs anything, it's a phone right by the bed.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Well, what can I do for you?
Speaker 8 (12:56):
I wanted to talk to you without.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Paint knowing what about Well?
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Now that the nurse is going. There's no one at
our place except Frank and me, and he's completely helpless.
He tried to walk to day, but he only took
two steps and fell.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
M M.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
Well, suppose Connie comes back and tries to shoot Frank again.
What could I do? I I think that we ought
to have.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
A man around the place, don't you, at least at night?
Might be a good idea.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
I didn't say anything to Frank. I didn't wanna worry him.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Well, I'll see if I can get you someone someone,
But I.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
More's the matter, h.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Nothing, It's just that, well, you're already in the case,
and they do have a.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Guest room, and I see tell me something, missus Wagner.
Speaker 8 (13:41):
Why don't you call me Patty? Now that we know
each other, do we, well, don't we? I feel as
if I'd known you all my life.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I feel as though I've known you all the twenty minutes. Well,
if you come to our place, you'll get a chance
to know me better. That's I believe you don't like me.
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Did I say that you think I'm a healed because
Franks laid up.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
He told me a good girl. Don't take him too seriously.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Might he talks protect too? Will you come to protect Frank?
Speaker 8 (14:10):
Connie might come back.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
To Sure it's Connie.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
I thought that was said?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And no, not quiet.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
There are a couple of things. What can you tell
me about the shooting? Can you add anything to what
your husband told me?
Speaker 8 (14:20):
I'm afraid No, it wasn't home that night. Oh you're
trying to jest something.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
No, no, no, excuse me, Patty?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Hello, right, Fike Wagner?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Oh, yes, Wagner.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Rank?
Speaker 8 (14:34):
What does he want?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Allison's his phone?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Reg you want a jew cause he's contacting Connie. That
was where you can find him? Where he wouldn't say
over the phone.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
I think he wants cash.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Mm starting that routine again. All right, Wagner, I'll be
ride over. How on what is it we're going to
visit Allison?
Speaker 8 (14:54):
We I have to get back to Frank. He's alone.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Maybe he's spatter off that way?
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Mine?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
But if we're going to get to know each other,
we might as well start by sticking together.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
Now, you walk so fast?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Something's going on that I don't like.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Here we are I had a man stacking across the
street to see that Alison didn't leave, but he wasn't
there when we came in. Could mean that Allison has
left in my man's tailing him. But then why would
Allison send for us?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I hear somebody maybe repining on it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh, you wearing so you're.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Not tailing him?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I thought I asked you to stay across the street.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
But unless Alison went out.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
He's uh the what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Why an't you tailing him?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
This is where he's out?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
But keeps what? I heard a shot?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I came up to investigate.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Somebody must have come in the back way. Allison's dead.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You want to look for yourself.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
After dark? Already?
Speaker 8 (16:03):
I didn't intend to be gone this long. I hope
thanks all right? Do you believe it or not?
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Mike?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
I don't want anything to happen to him. Then I'd
really feel guilty and stop smiling.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Was I smiling?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Well?
Speaker 8 (16:14):
After all, I'm the one who called the ambulance and
Frank was shot. I saved his life. Don't forget that.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
You called thelance. Yes, thought you weren't home that night.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
I got home a little after the shooting and found
Frank on the floor. I say, besides, I meant any
harm to Frank. Now, would I ask you to come
along to protect him?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Is that why you asked me one of the reasons?
Speaker 8 (16:32):
Of course, I do have other yes, So I've noticed.
I think we'd get along, Mike, once you get over
your silly.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Suspicion, and once you get the idea that all I'm going.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Along for is to protect Frank.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Alright, only one thing bothers me, Angel what's that?
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Who's going to protect me?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
You'll have to forgive me, Wagner. I make a habit
of coming through windows accent christening your mind.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Connie.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Yeah, Connie, I've been hauled up long enough.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Figure it's time for me to blow.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
So I thought I better settle with you and Allison first.
Too bad, you hear Royll along.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I thought you'd be crazy enough to come here, Connie.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Nobody did. That's how come I'm here barking up.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
The wrong tree.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Power.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I had nothing to do with your brush with.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
The law, Allison says.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Difference is Alison your idea of the soul of honesty?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Now, Wagner, but neither a year.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
You've got no call to suspect me, except Allison.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Says, you're gonna prove he was lying.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Am I going to do that? That's your problem? Get Allison,
bring him here, face the thing.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I've had enough of that kind of starting Wagner.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I don't know what to say. I don't say anything.
I'll settle with you, just like I was sure.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I'll draw. What can I lose? But you're life.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Oh, Connie, wait, I've waited, Lyne May.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Somebody's coming must be Petty wiscon says, you don't make
a sound way.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
It's tell her it is go ahead, yes, Patty, everything's
all right.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
She's got somebody with it. Sounds like.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't have to cover both.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I remember you. Not a sound like wearing.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Thank I thought it'd be a good eye.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Life's just full of little surprise.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Get over next to Wagoner's bet you.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Don't do it wearing, you can't watchers both where he
is shut up, White's wearing. Now's your chance here, all right,
Patty goot went into the wall.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
He's going down the final escape.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I can't follow because he's got a clear shot at
me in the window.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Patty, only the door.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Turn off the line alight.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
That's better you see him, and now the odds are
my way.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
All right, Mester that's far enough.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I got a gun.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yes, I don't take another step.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
That's the show.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
I'm not pulling a stand still.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
The next won't be a warning.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
All right, don't shoot again and drop your gun. Go ahead, okay,
drop it dropped something.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I heard it.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I don't know if it was a gun. It's too
dark down there, but I'll go see and I'll call
it me. No, he wasn't fluffing.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Don't see you later, Patty.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
All Back to the Adventures of a fuk. It's half
a minute since Mike Wearing ordered Ted Connie to surrender,
and Connie.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Went through the motions of obeying.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Now Mike approaches Connie on the fire escape, hoping that
Connie can neither.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Fire nor escape. I said, fella, just stay that way
until I pick this up.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I'm gonna callt you Weary. You must be the FuG.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, you must be Ted, Connie. I've been looking for you, Lena.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Stay. You're a smart Cookie Wearing, so maybe you'd be
interested in the proposition.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I don't sell out, Connie, say you're not smart. It
depends on the point of view.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I can make it what you while yeh, no, dice,
I don't need that kind of money.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
There's nothing I can say. I can't think of a thing.
You'll be sorry about this? Worry heavy, conye, not half
a sorry as you.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Let's go, I talk and I'll hold him till you
get here.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Ride so long, oh Connie. The police are on their way.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I heard you ask the sergeant Carver with a homicide.
I didn't kill anybody.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You tried to kill me?
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Did you kill out?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I didn't, I listened as Wagner he has, well.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Tell me something, connye?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
And why why.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Did you come here? I don't have to answer to you?
All right, Wagner? Will how about it? Wagner?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Just as you guessed?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Well, he said, Allison told him that I was the
one who put the law.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
So we came to finish up. But he started before.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I didn't shoot you, Papa, but you were going to
shoot him this time.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I was gonna make him talk.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
What did you do from the moment you entered this room?
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Nothing? It was only here a minute when you.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Came, all right, in that minute, nothing? He threatened me.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
All right, now, let's have it from the beginning, from
when he entered. But I'm lying here reading and I
hear it crash. I look around. He's coming through the window.
He has a gun, he tells me he's been hold
up long enough. He's getting out now. The first he's
hting with Alison and me.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Oh, with Allison in you.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's what he said.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I didn't get around Allison. I came here first.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That you said you were settling with Alison.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Look wherey you got me.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
They're going to throw the book at me. But I
didn't shoot Allison. They're not getting me for that.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I will see Connie Wagner. Get up?
Speaker 6 (21:29):
What?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Get up? Walk across the room. I can't just from
the bed to the door and back. What's the idea?
I want to see how strong you are. I can't
walk at all without help. I'm too weak. Can you crawl?
I don't know. Maybe what are you trying to prove?
Maybe you're stronger than you pretend.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Why should he pretend?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Makes a good alibi?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Hey, that's an idea. Maybe he killed Alison and a
kind of Alison's sick me on him? No? Crazy?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Do you think he crawled all the way to Alison?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I haven't said put out of this bed alone?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
And we call him on a weary make him get up,
make them walk.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Maybe I will, Connie, provided you explain one thing.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
What's that? How come you and you? Allison was shot?
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Uh? Well? You so I said he was killed. I
didn't say how well that's right?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Where well?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I uh, I just figured it was part of the
same deal. Wagner was shot, So I figured if it
was the same person both times, as Allison be shot too,
except you accused me.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I didn't shoot myself.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I didn't think about you.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Joy.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You to to what Waring said about maybe you could walk.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
That's pretty flimsy, Connie.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh, I wouldn't say that, Wagner, and I'll accept that explanation.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
What Worry has. It's plausible enough so that leaves you wagoner.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I promised Connie if he could explain, I'd ask you
to walk.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
I'd go ahead, walk.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I can't, all right, I won't argue about it as
long as you can walk into the court room.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
You're serious about this night. You don't really think it
prank killed Allison?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Sure you know Wagner you told me you're a friendly guy.
If I have an idea, you're going to lose your
popularity off.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Of a suddenly.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
After all, you can't shoot your friends and have them too.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
I still can hardly believe it, Mike.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Why you were already fed up with Frank, But I.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Never thought he'd kill him the one Alice war Alison
kne him better than you, didn't, he is in order
to get off the spot with Connie, and Alison blamed
Frank for tipping the police to Cannie.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
But Alison knew as soon as Frank heard about it.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
He'd tried to get even, so Allison tried to kill
him to protect.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Yourself, but he only wounded him instead, and.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Frank wanted revenge, so he hired me to find Alison farm.
He knew Alison did the shooting, but he pretended not
to know because he wanted to.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Blame Connie, so he did't flame him for the murder.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Well, what put you on the right track?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I was a sprecious when Frank said Allison called him
wanting to talk to me.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
He could have called me direct.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Maybe Allison thought you were at optly, yes.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But when I wasn't, Why didn't Allison call me direct?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
All Right?
Speaker 8 (23:55):
That made you suspicions, But you certainly must have had
something more than that to make you.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Accuse me, Oh I did. He's lying about not being
able to walk. Finished. How did you know he was lying?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Well, I said he couldn't walk at.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
All, not even from his bed to the door.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Well, well, it was light when you left him.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
When you returned, it was dark, but Frank had been reading.
The light was on in the room and the light
switches by the door. I remembered, because you turned the
lights out of the door when I was chasing Carne.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Right, so Frank could walk.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
And that's all there is to it. Huh huh.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
And now that Frank's and Jail's a murdering me. But
you won't be so stand office.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
As far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
After all, I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
He was like me once you got to know me better. Yeah,
it could be, but I've always heard that what you
don't know won't hurt you.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
So Angel, I'm afraid part of my education will have
to remain sadly neglected. We hope
