Speaker 1 (00:03):
The Craft Foods Company brings you The Adventures of the Falcon,
starring Les Damon.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking, Oh June. I
was just thinking about you. Angela the theater tonight. Now
I'm sorry. I'm working on a case. Of course, I
know those tickets were hard to get, but so as
the murderer, and I've got a date with one in
exactly half an hour. This is then hurly he friends

(00:37):
in fighting.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
You on behalf of the Craft Foods Company to listen
to the Adventures of the Falcon. You meant the Falcon
first in his best selling novels, then you saw him
in his thrilling motion picture series. Now join him on
the air when the Falcon's halls.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
The Case of the Rich Racketeer.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Before we join the Falcon in his latest adventure, I'd
like to tell you folks about crafts Golden cheese food Velveta.
Velveta is such good eating. Just taste that grand, rich
yet mild cheddar cheese flavor, and Velvita is so good
for you. It's rich in important food values from milk
itself for swell tasting snacks, for good hearty sandwiches, for

(01:27):
thrifty easy hot dishes.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
It's smart to keep stocked with Velveta.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Get it tomorrow in a handy quarter pound package or
in the economical two pound low The cheese food of
top quality Velveta is made only by Craft. Now the
case of the rich racketeer. It's Sunday afternoon in New

(01:59):
York City.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
A cab pulls up in front of a large Central
Park West apartment building and two men get out. One
of the men is big, beefy and florid, while the
other is slim and quick moving. The two men hurriedly
enter the building and ride the elevator up to the
tenth floor, where florid face leads the way to one
of the apartments and opens the door. Flo Hey, plo,

(02:21):
I guess my wife's not home yet. Come on, gallon,
come on in and let get the door. Excellent idea, Sullivan, excellent,
Wait there and leave your hat and coat on. Won't
take me but a second to write a check. Check, yeah, check,
I think I'd rather have cash, Sullivan. I was much
too good in court this afternoon to warrant a check. Okay,

(02:41):
so you were good, you were swell, you were better
than usual, and you're still the best business for naglar
in New York. But you're going to get a check.
The naggler is a nasty word, almost as nasty as racketeer. Yeah,
but racketeers better Galland you see, in my business, you
don't have to pretend to be something or not. But
you do have to be smart. Yeah, that's right, you

(03:02):
have to be smart. Now, then here's you check, Take
it and blow. I got a dat in a little while,
only one thousand dollars. You're lucky to get that much. Hey,
they don't tear that up. My cheap chiseling punk. I
saved your fat neck this afternoon. An income tax evasion
charge is the only way they catch guys like you.

(03:22):
And I cleared you. I got you off scott free
because there wasn't any evidence of the money you made.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
They could have ruined you.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, but they didn't. No, they didn't, And I'll tell
you why they didn't. Because I advised you not to
keep any records of books. I told you to keep
your profits on hand in cash and not to keep
it many banks. So what so I want my share
and now, and I want it in cash. I know
you've got more than three hundred grands sort of away.
You're crazy? God, No, no, I'm not. I know you've
got that money, Sullivan. I want my share. I want

(03:49):
to write now and fast. I want thirty thousand dollars
and I want it in cash. Why you stupid little say? Hey,
that's the way you want to play it. Eh, that's
the way, Sullivan, not bluffing loaded, and I'm not afraid
to use it. So if you want to enjoy your freedom,
hand over the thirty grand now, look, Garland, be reasonable.

(04:09):
Put that gun away. Not a chance. But you're wrong.
I swear you are. I'm broke. A thousand dollars check
I just wrote will practically wipe me out. You expect
me to believe that it's true. Now listen, I know
you deserve a bigger fee, but I can't give it
to you now. Later I'll tell quite starling, Sullivan, where's
the money? I know you got it. I dumped it
in an oil dig you out West. I thought I

(04:31):
could really clean up, but something went wrong. You never
took a chance in your life, and an oil well
is a gamble.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
You're a sure thing player.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Come on, Sullivan, getting tired of holding this gun. Where's
my thirty thousand dollars, and I'm gonna pull this trigger.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Worry in the world, it's gonna might know you don't
o your sight?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Do that's better. I'll just keep this gun as a souvenir.
Now get out of here before I break it over
your head?

Speaker 4 (05:02):
What's going on here? Anyway?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Shut up? Okay, god, and get going. You made a mistake,
mister Sullivan, a big mistake. I want that thirty grand
and I intend to get it. That little bum might
have killed me with this kind of you hadn't opened
the door and banged into him.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
That's too bad. If I'd known, I'd have waited outside
in the hole. What you heard me?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
What's eating you? You are? Come on, come on, spill it.
What's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (05:28):
A blue eyed, baby faced little blonde named Bonnie Shaw?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Bonnie, what are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Get wise to yourself, Larry? Did you really think you
were kidding me? Don't you think I know where you've
been spending your eatings?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh wait a minute, below, you don't know what your door.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
I've been a sap for a long time, but now
you're going to pay, and pay plenty.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
How did you find out about bonding meat?

Speaker 4 (05:49):
A little bird told me.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I said, how did you find out?

Speaker 4 (05:55):
You're going to be sorry for that?

Speaker 6 (05:56):
Larry?

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Very sorry?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, not as sorry as you're going to be. Your
little bird didn't tell you quite enough. Sure, I've got
a girl named Bonnie Shaw, and I'm nuts about it.
I'm going to divorce you and marry Bonnie just as
soon as possible. Really, And I got more news for
you too, baby, just in case you think you're gonna
hook me. I'm broke. I've been wiped out completely. You
can't get a dime out of me.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
That's too bad.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, it's a shame. I feel so bad about it.
I have to bust out crying if I hang around
here any longer. So get away from that door and
let me out.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Sure, Larry, I'll let you go, but not with Bonnie Shaw.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Try and stop me.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Wait, Larry, but forgetting something, aren't you now?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Look? Put that gun down, Larry.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
I only wanted to hand it to you. It belongs
to your lawyer friend. Don't you want to give.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
It back to him? Why?

Speaker 7 (06:51):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Maybe i'd better No.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
On second thought, I don't think he needs it as
badly as I do.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
You.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Yes, Darling, I've just thought of a wonderful use for it.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
What are you going to do?

Speaker 5 (07:05):
I catch you, guess, Larry, I'm the forgotten middle aged
wife who's been dropped without a scent.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
I'm going in the bedroom and blow my brains out.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Don't kid me, baby, you'd never do that.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
You're so right, darling. I'd never never do that.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Sorry, I'm late, Bunny.

I got a sister named Bonnie. Mean anything to you?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
You're Bonnie's brother, that's right. Where is she?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
She'll probably be along in a few minutes.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Say, I don't get this. Bonnie didn't tell me you'd
be here.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
She didn't know it.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
And what are you doing here?

Speaker 3 (08:16):
I'm telling you to stay away from Bonnie.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Maybe she'll have something to say about that.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Donnie's just a kid, she doesn't know what she's doing.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I look, sure, you got the wrong idea. I'm crazy
about Bonnie. We're in love, we're gonna get married now.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
You're wrong, Sullivan. And even if you meant it.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
I'd die before I let her throw herself away in
a grafting rackets here like you guys, old meant to be.

Her father who was already married.

It's an hour and a half later. Mike Wearing has
just stopped his car outside Larry Sullivan's secluded cottage a
tallow lake. The light is on in the living room,
with the house and countryside are strangely quiet. Mike walks
up to the front door and knocks. There's no answer,
no sound from inside. He opens the door and stops. Suddenly.

(13:11):
Across the room, with her back pressed tensely against the
closed bedroom door, stands a beautiful, young, very frightened blonde.
Oh sorry, I didn't mean to scare you when I knocked.
Nobody answer it not scared you. Better try again, Angel.
It's not that cold in here.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
You're trembling. Why I don't know? Okay, how about your way?
Where's Sullivan? Larry? I don't know his first name? He
called himself Sullivan. He hired me to come out here.
Why said he needed a detective. You're a policeman. No,
I'm a private detective. Say what's the matter with you anyway? Huh?

(13:48):
Where's Sullivan?

Speaker 4 (13:49):
He he's not here. He's gone. He won't be back.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Please keep it a go now, I'll wait a minute, Angel,
Not so fast. What's behind that closed door. It's it's
just a bedroom in there.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Nobody, nobody at all.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Please don't try to kid me. Angel. If Suliman's changed
his mind, about needing a detective. He's not going to
brush me without getting out his check book.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
No, no, please, don't.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
No, wonder you got the shakes? What gives me the jitter?
Is this suliban? Yeah? A bullet hole in the back
of his head. Larry, Okay, you can cut out the act.
I'm not impressed. Yes, where's the gun?

Speaker 4 (14:32):
The gun?

Speaker 2 (14:32):
The gun you killed him with. It's not here. Where
is it?

Speaker 4 (14:35):
You think I killed Larry?

Speaker 2 (14:36):
You just try to get rid of me. You're scared, silly,
and you knew he was in there. No, you're wrong.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
I didn't shoot Larry. I just got here a few
minutes ago. I found him in there. I was frightened.

Speaker 8 (14:48):
I didn't know what to do.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Why were you telling him tonight?

Speaker 4 (14:51):
I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
He told me on the phone that somebody was following him.
That's why he hired me. He wanted me to find
out who it was.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
I wasn't following Larry. I came here to meet him tonight.
That I loved him. We were going to be married
just as soon as his wife divorced him.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
You already had a wife. Yes, she killed him.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
She must have found out about this.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Isn't come here to night as possible. She might have
been the person who was following him.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Of course it must have been his wife, don't you see?

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Well, not yet, but a little outside, help my Clara?
That where's the phone?

Speaker 4 (15:23):
What are you going to do?

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Call the police? No?

Speaker 6 (15:25):
No, waiter, I mean you've got to understand about us,
about Larry and me?

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Sure, sure, I know you can tell me all about
it after I put in this call.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
No, please don't call me.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Look, Angel, you can't pump bullets at the ball spot
without letting the police in on the fun somehow. I
don't think they'd like it at all. Bunny is sure, Yes,
mister Warring, I've told you the truth.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Larry and I love it, loved each other. I had
no reason to kill him.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Sulowan told me he was working on some sort of
big deal. Do you know anything about it? No? He
never told me about his business. What about Sullivan's wife?
Did you know?

Speaker 4 (16:10):
What's the matter?

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Just heard somebody out on the porch. Keep talking, Angel.

Speaker 5 (16:15):
I'm sure she must have found out us looking for somebody?

Speaker 3 (16:20):
What are you doing here?

Speaker 2 (16:21):
You know this fellow?

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Of course I know him. He's my brother.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Bunnie, you've got to listen to reason. Come home with me.

Speaker 7 (16:25):
You can't throw yourself away in a no good racketeer
like Sullivan.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Dumb you heard what happened to your job.

Speaker 7 (16:29):
I came earlier to night to talk to Sullivan, but
he couldn't see things my way.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
We had a fight and he hit me.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Is that why you shot him? Why?

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Wait a minute, what's going on here?

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Who are you? And a lot of people call me the.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Falk and Funnie? What's happened with Sullivan?

Speaker 2 (16:43):
He's lying in there on the bedroom floor with a
bullet hole in the back of his head. He's dead, definitely,
go on, Mean, what's the idea. I just wanted to
see if you had a gun?

Speaker 3 (16:51):
What are you satisfied?

Speaker 2 (16:52):
No, you could have thrown it a way out there
in the woods.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
You think I killed Sullivan.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
You said you had a fight with him tonight.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yes, we had a fight, but I didn't kill him.

Speaker 7 (16:58):
I was plenty sore when he threw me out, but
I cooled off after I called his wife.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
You called Sullivan's wife tonight, Yes, well, contemptible, I take
it easy, angel, I did it for your own good bunny,
and Sullivan's wife did know about him. And Bonnie.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Of course she knew. Wait a minute, maybe she did.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Of course she did. Why did you come back here? Sure?

Speaker 7 (17:15):
Well, after I called Sullivan's wife, I got the thinking.
I thought that if she came out here, maybe the
two of us could break this up.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Oh sure, the police are going to love that story.
You call the cops, Yes, of course, they'll be here
any minute.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
I'm getting out. They're not gonna find me.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
You knocked him.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Out, yes, well, he'll get over it. And at my
jar amant telling the truth When the police wake him
up for a chat.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Took the gun away from mister garl told him to
get out.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Did you tell the police about that?

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Certainly? I told him.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
But they seemed to think that tom Shaw was the killer.
Of course they said they'd questioned mister Garland this morning.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Did you leave this apartment last night after your husband
went out? I know, could you prove that?

Speaker 4 (18:04):
I don't think so. Why what are you driving at,
mister wearing?

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Her husband was running around with another woman and you
had just found it out.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Do you think I killed Larry?

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Your motive is even better than the others.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
That's ridiculous. I couldn't kill anybody you.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Were seem to be taking your husband's death pretty calmly.
No tear stained handkerchiefs or swollen eyes.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
Why should I pretend he meant nothing to me anymore?
I didn't even mind the fact that he had this
girl Bonnie show. You weren't jealous, certainly not. I knew
he was going to leave me, but I didn't care
at all. I'll be honest with you, mister Wearing. If
I could have gotten money from Larry, I might have
tried to hang on to him, or at least make
him pay plenty to get rid of me.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
But he was wiped out. He didn't have a dime.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Your husband was broke, Yes, he told me.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
So last night, just before he went out, So you see,
he was of no more use to me. I actually
was glad he was going to leave me, but I
certainly had no reason to kill him.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
I see. Excuse me, of course, mister gold Oh to
give me for calling so early in the morning, missus Sullivan,
I want to see Larry before he went out. I'm
sorry about that trouble we had last night, and I
want to apologize.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
You don't know about Is.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
This the business manager you were telling me about?

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yes, this is mister Garland.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Well, what's wrong, missus Sullivan? Where's Larry? He was murdered
last night. Larry's dead? Yes, why, well, it's terrible. I
had no idea. You read the morning papers. No, no,
you see, I was upset about that quarrel last night,
and I wanted to hurry over here as fast as possible.
That quarrel last night gives you a pretty well motive, Darland.
I didn't even know about the murder. Well you could

(19:40):
be lying about that. No, I'm not lying. But you
did threaten him. Well, it was only bluffing. He owed
me money and I wanted it. I swear I didn't
shoot Larry.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
I couldn't have done it.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
They took my gun away from It's still here. There
are other guns. Well, I tell you I didn't do it.
Tell me about this money, you say, Sullivan, O June. Well,
I did some financial work for him, and I felt
he owed me much lof ard your fee, and he
was willing to pay Naturally, that made me angry, and
I guess I lost my head. I had the gun
in my pocket. Bye, Well, I always carry it. I
have a license for it. There are certain people who

(20:10):
have threatened me from time to time say okay, so
you pulled the gun on Sullivan. Yes, yes, I thought
I might frighten him into paying me what I wanted.
It did frighten him, and he told me the truth,
the truth. Yes, he was broke. He literally couldn't pay me.
At first I didn't believe him, but he finally convinced
me that he was telling the truth when missus Sullivan
came in and unexpectedly and gave him the chance to
grab the gun. Did the Bonnie Shaw know that Sullivan

(20:32):
was broke? Who is she? But didn't you know Slivan
had a young girlfriend? No? I had no idea. I
mean I only knew him professionally. He never discussed his
personal life.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
With me, Still Wearing.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Isn't it just possible then, that Bonnie Shaw kills your husband? Yes,
that's why one of the Junius Sullivan was broke. He
might have been stringing her along telling her he was rich,
and last night she may have found out the truth.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
Hello, Mike, what.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Are you doing in my apartment?

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Bunniy Mike, I've been trying to find you all morning.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
You don't waste much time, do you? Angel? It was
mister Wearing last night.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
Oh, I'm sorry, it just slipped out.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
We'll make it a habit, huh. I like the intimate touch.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
You looked tired.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
No. Working for nothing always wears me out.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
I've been using my talents out of pure curiosity this morning.
Sullivan hired me last night, but he didn't pay me
any money.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
And maybe you let me hire you you. Yes, Mike,
you've got to help Tom.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
Have they arrested him, not yet, but they held him
for questioning all night. He denies Hi murder, so they
had to let him go this morning because of lack
of evidence. But I want to hire you to find
the real murderer.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Are you sure about that? Of course?

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Please, Mike, please let me hire you to clear Tom.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
I cost money, you know, I don't have very much,
but I make coach you're wearing doesn't exactly look like
a ticket to the poorhouse.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Don't let this code fool you. I didn't pay for it.
Larry gave it to me as a present.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Sullivan gave you that code, yes, when.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
About a week ago? Why?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
What's wrong? Sullivan claimed he was broke, But that's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
He had lots of money.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
In fact, he told me he just made a tremendous
killing in some sort of business deal.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
And that's why we that's.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Why you what No, no, not nothing. Come clean, Angel.
If you want my help, you've got to tell me
the truth. All right, Mike, I'll tell you the truth.
Larry wasn't broke. I know.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
We see, we weren't going to wait for his divorce.
We were going to South America together. In fact, you
already had the steamer tickets.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
And a stack of money and cans. You know where
that money is.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
No, Mike, I don't, I swear I don't.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
You wouldn't lie to me, would Angel?

Speaker 4 (22:50):
No, Mike, I wouldn't lie to you. I couldn't. You
know that?

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Darling.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, that's a nice try, but you'd have to do
better than that. Oh I' wrap that nic arronge lovely
shoulders are going treasure hunting? Where to out to Sullivan's
cottage on Tallow Lake.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
Miracle Web has a flavor so pleasing, Miracle We tastes
so lively, so teasing.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
Miracle Well, only one of its kind.

Speaker 5 (23:20):
Miracle web best salad dressing you'll find.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Miracle Whip is the only one of its kind because
it's a different type of salad dressing made from a
secret craft recipe. Miracle Whip combines the best qualities of
old fashioned boiled dressing and fine mayonnaise, so it's truly
distinctive and delicious with a flavor. Millions of folks call
just exactly right. Try it, won't you. One taste will

(23:47):
tell you why it's America's favorite salad dressing, the one
and only Miracle Whip. Now back to the adventures of
the Fulton.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
An hour has passed since Mike set out for Tallow
Lake with Bonnie Shawl. I'll leave arrived, Mike. Look, it
looks like a cyclone hit the place. Well, I'm not surprised.
The murderer was here searching for the money. Yes, of course,
and he's beaten us to it. He must have found
it if Flarry had it hidden here, we don't be
too sure about that. Angel.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
You don't think the money was here?

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh yes, I'm sure it was here, and I think
it still is. But why look at this room. Everything
is torn up, drawers are empty, pillows, slash rugs thrown back.
Nothing's been overlooked. I don't understand. That's simple, Angel. If
the place was only partly torn up. It might mean
the killer had found the money, but everything in here
has been going over carefully and more than once. That

(24:47):
means he hasn't found it yet. Then Mikey may still
be here. Maybe we interrupted him, Yes, maybe, But I've
got another idea, like a lot better. What the murderer
knew about the money but didn't get a chance to
search for it last night after killing Sullivan. So this
morning early the killer came back out here, went over
the cottage, but couldn't find the money. So the murderer
got the bright idea of hiring me I detective to

(25:08):
help find the missing cash. You don't think, after all, Angel,
you knew about the money and the others didn't.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Oh, Mike, the others could have known. Even Tom could
have known about it.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Sure, but I don't quick. Yes, I hear you an apology. Angel.
We did interrupt the murderer and he just tried to
kill me, and he's out there in the woods.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
He may try to come up here it What is it?

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Listen, car He must have hidden it in the woods.
He missed once and decided not to try again, So.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
What's the matter?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Look over there on the floor, the wall mirror.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
The bullet smashed.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yes, and look what was hidden behind the glass?

Speaker 8 (25:50):
An envelope and full of thousand dollar bills, Arri's money,
old brother, that's any for you.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
The murderer couldn't find it, but his bullet did.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
He's not a very good shot.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Wait a minute, shot? What thanks? Angulia just told me
something I should have known three hours ago. What do
you mean the murderer? I know who it is now
who Sullivan's lawyer, Arthur Garland. Would you like a drink? Now?

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Not until you tell me how you knew Garland was
the killer.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Well, now that the police have caught up with him,
I guess I can you see, Garland made one little slip,
a slip that I didn't recognize until you mentioned the
word shot. Then it clicked suddenly. What but you see?
When I talked to Garland this morning, he claimed he
didn't even know about the murder. Yes, well, neither missus
Sullivan nor I told him any of the details. Yet
he knew Sullivan had been shot, he said, I swear
I didn't shoot Larry Sullivan might have been stabbed, poisoned,

(26:55):
or bashed over the head floor, he knew, So how
else would Garland have known Sullivan had been shot unless
he himself had done the shooting.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Mike, you're wonderful. I never thought of that.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
But you're not a detective angel.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
No, but I might like to be a detective's.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Wife, all right, Swell, I know a couple of boys
in the forest wood love a wife like you. Okay, Mike,
you win.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
But you can't blame me for trying, can you know?

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Not me? I like persistent women. Oh good, I'll have
that drink now.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Okay, then I promised to try again.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
