Speaker 2 (01:38):
Wednesday night in New.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
York, and in an old loft, two men bend over
a quest, eagerly intent on the.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Engraving that is emerging from it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
All the long, silent examination of the engraving, light is
brought closer, magnifying glasses are brought into use. Still no words,
but now hands begin to shake with excitement. Finally, the
taller man with a little mustache, Louis Baretti, steps back
and smiles at his companion.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, Gerns, it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The us mint couldn't do better itself anywhere. They'll get
by and that's what gone.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Oh what gets me by?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Ready?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
With the talent like that, you've been wasting time a
little forgery.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It's got to work up to a thing like this.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Hell's course for celebration.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Let's go get a judgn't get ahead of yourself, Gerns.
We've got the plates. Now we've got to unload. Oh,
I'm shure might give us a good price.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You're going to sell the place?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
What else, Well, that's like killing the golden goose. Wait
a minute, a.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Hello?
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Is that armshare? Eh imshaw?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Good? This is Louis Berretti speaking. I have something that
might interest you. Would you care to see some samples?
I'm not easily interested, Baretti, you will be and what
I have.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Well doesn't cost to look. I'll be here all night.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Good, I'll be over so now, But why sell the plates? Already?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
This way? We want cash?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
All we got to do is printed? What more can
anybody ask?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
How long you think those two sheets of paper are
going to last us?
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Now cans.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
There's a lot more that this deal than just the plate.
We can get more paper and big quantities. That ain't easy. Besides,
no matter how good those plates are the only perfect
ones at Uncle Sam's, every time we passed the bill,
we'd be sticking on axe out. To do this right,
you have to have an organization. I have to know.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Where to pass them and when maybe you're right?
Speaker 7 (03:37):
Sure, I'm right?
Speaker 2 (03:39):

quote shots, you may.
Speaker 4 (04:01):

Yes, mister Ritta, this is Louis Baretti. I was just
wondering if you might be in the rate. Good morning, honey.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
What time is it?

Almost noon and you're still in bed? Louis Baretti, big shot,
I got home late. You're telling me you might have phoned.

You haven't gone hungry, have you?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Oh you've got a roof over.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Your head, haven't you? You don't like the way I

Get out of here. You don't want to get dressed.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Oh just a minute, lady, where do you think you're

Who are you? I'm Sergeant Carved in the New York
Police Department.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I knew it, knew what he was mixed up in something.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Oh, he's mixed up in something?
Speaker 7 (05:50):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
What do you know about it?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Nothing was just a hunch. What do you do?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
As far as we know, he didn't do anything. I said,
he's mixed up in something.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Good.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Better prepare yourself for a shock.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I'm prepared. If you didn't do anything, that's shock enough.
Now what is it?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
It's just missus BARRETTI he's dead.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Hello.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I'd like to see mister Wearing.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Please, well, take a good look.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Oh I hope you're mister Wearing.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I want so do I which wearing?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Would it be?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The private detective called a falcon?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I'm your bird. Come in, thank you.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I had a hard time finding you don't. You have
an office in my.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Business, and office means a filing cabinet full of bourbon.
I've heard. Well, I prefer martinis, so I operate out
of my apartment. Who are you and what can I
do for you?
Speaker 8 (06:52):
I'm missus Louis Baretti. Yesterday my husband was murdered. The
police questioned me a good party afternoon they released me.
But I'm still under suspicion, and.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You want me to remove that suspicion.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's right, Well, can you give me any better suspects?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Not positively tentatively?
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Then well, if you could find out anything about a
mister Ritter or a mister Earnshaw.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, that's what I don't know. But from the way that.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
We behaved yesterday morning, I suspected that something was going on.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
And then a mister Riddard fomed the house.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
I couldn't make out much of the conversation, except that
Louise said that mister Riddard still wasn't talking loud enough
and he couldn't hear him, and he said it was
too late anyway, because Earnshaw already spoke English.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Oh that's a.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Great conversation, and you don't know who either of these
men are.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
No, I never mentioned it before.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Is there anyone who might know them?
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Well, the only one I can think of is my
husband's assistant, Pete Kerns. But the police asked him about them,
and he claim he didn't know them.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Oh maybe I'll have better luck. By the way, Missus Burrady,
what did your husband and Kerns do?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
They had a little art studio.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
They made silk screen reproductions and etching things like that.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
But I always had an idea they were doing so
wealth too, Only I never could find out what it was.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Just goes to show man shouldn't keep secrets from his wife.
It's dangerous. Well, sure, look what happened to Louis Baretti.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yes you Pete Kerns, that's right. What do you want?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, I didn't come to look at your etchings. I
thought perhaps you could tell me something about Ritter or Earnsford.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
The police thought the same.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
They were all so wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well do you mind if I come in and look
over the studio?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
You have a search word? No, I mind.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Look, it must have occurred to you, Kerns that you're
a suspect in this case.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Maybe I can help you.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
What makes you think so well.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Missus BARRETTI is paying good money for me to help her.
You can latch on for free ride if you like, provided,
of course, you're.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Not the murderer. That's what I'm looking for when I
need to help up pay my own way.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Such extravagance struggling young artists could afford it.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Don't be able to unless it get to work police.
It kept me out of here until just a.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Little while ago.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
And whoever killed Baretty made the shambles of the place.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So run along. I've got work to do.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's all right, Kurns. But just tell me one thing. Well,
what's what makes you so sure you don't need help?
I'm not so sure. I'm also not so sure you'd
be help. Well, if you change your mind about me,
it can reach me. That's lunch and app over on
Lexington Avene fifty third. Just ask for Mike Wearing. I'll
make a note of it now, So long a hello, Hello, Ridder,
(09:48):
This is Kerns.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
Yeah, Kerns, what is it?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Somebody else has been here looking for you. Sooner or
later they're going to find the Ridder they're looking for.
So if you and I are going to get together.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
We'd better do it.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Quick, Wearing, I see why you always hang out here
at Ed's lunch.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And that they sure turn out a mean salad. Sure, Corbett,
But about the case, I'm sorry, Wearring. I've given you
every blessed fact I've got on the case so far.
I don't want to be something we could latch on too, Corbett,
some kind of a leave. Oh fella, Hey, did you
enjoy your lunchime?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I had?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Oh, Wearing's minds are wrapped up with the case. He
didn't even notice. Didn't notice on Never mind that Corpet
just joking. He's the funniest fellow I know, Gey, Thanks
all right, certainly I didn't notice that salad by Those
were the most delicious vegetable like, yes, that's what I mean, Yes, vegetables.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
They were perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
And that salad dressing that was miracle whip, Mike, you know,
miracle whip makes salad taste better than ever. But sure, yes,
you see, miracle whip has a swell flavor. It's kind
of sharp, yet it's not too sharp either. I think
it tastes just exactly right right. That's why, No, that's
why it's America's favorite salad.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Dressing room.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
As a matter of fact, more Miracle Whip is soul
than the next twenty leading brands of salad dressing combined.
Right right, Mike, And don't forget Miracle Whip is really
a different kind of salad dressing too. That's why they
call it the one and only, isn't it? And it's smooth,
creamy textued U Right, you took the words right out
(11:24):
of my mouth. How do you know all that? Good
little detectives always keep their ears open ed.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You've been telling me about Miracle Whip for a long time.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Now, well what do you know, my elf, except that
maybe you better give us our check.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Now. We've got to be getting along right, Oh you are, Mike?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
All right, Corb, but what's the joke? Look at them?
Give me see a fancy a fumbling?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I never mind, Corbett, you win. I'll take care of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I know it's just all right.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I forget it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I've got it there, ed take both checks out of
this twenty Mike. Hey, wait, is it a gay? What
do you mean?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's a beautiful job.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I'll admit that it's probably passed most places. But I've
been in this game too long, and let one of
these get by me? When places are you talking about this?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Twenty it's kind of it? What well as the sergeant.
If you don't believe me, here's heart to take a look.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Eh oh, he's right, worring. Where did you get this from?
Missus Baretti? Well, what do you know? The falcon lets
himself get paid off in funny money.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
I'm all right, Carpet, you can stop grinning.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's not that funny the way little boys at headquartered
here about this work. Look, Pat, you've been just hello, wow,
my charming client. All right, Missus Baretti, what was the
idea paying me in counterfeits?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
As?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
If you didn't know? I didn't your husband printed it,
didn't he?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I don't know it. I told you I suspected something,
but I didn't know what.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Where did you get the bills you gave me? If
anymore lying around? I luck, Missus BARRETTI. If you don't answer,
we can get a search. One only confident is a
federal of fans. Don't yell. Let the lady warring.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You'll have to forgive.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Him, Missus BARRETTI, he's kind of touchy. Just now come in.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
I don't want any trouble I'll show you where the
money is, all right.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
By Johna's Holway. Well, we came home late a couple
of nights ago. In the morning, you talked about having
a lot of money. He said it had something to
do with the contract. But when I asked him about
he lost his temper. I was afraid something was wrong,
but I.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Didn't know what.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And then he was killed. And then I found a
briefcaseous nurse.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
Here we are in this post under all these states.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Believe me, I didn't know what was comforting.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Where it is hee a briefcase full of the stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Look, you hired me to help you. Why didn't you
show me this.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I didn't think it was necessary.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You were afraid it'd be taken away from you money.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I didn't see why I shouldn't keep.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
You told me you suspected your husband was involved in something.
You hinted strongly that that's something was illegal, So you
knew there was something wrong with the money.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I didn't know it was counterfit. I suspected there's a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
All right, all right, you can fight that app later.
Right now, we've got to get this stuff into the
hands of the treasury.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Boys.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Missus VERRETTI, where's your telephone?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Yeah, we're here of Arnusser.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Oh good, bring him in right, well, Wearying. Now that
we know we're dealing with counterfeiting, we're beginning to get somewhere.
This guy, Ed Earnshaw has been involved in a couple
of counterfeiting deals already, right, mister Earnshaw, come in, sit down,
you know, Mike Wearing Welcome. I've heard of him. It's
(14:48):
a pleasure likewise, and we're both liars. I understand you
boys found a batch of phony scratch and you want
to tie.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Me to it. No, I'll leave that to the Treasury department.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I'm homicide. All I'm interested in is a little matter
of murder.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Well that's a nice subject, but it's a little out
of my line.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah. You know Louie Baretti Breddy. Was he a big
fat guy? He was a little skinny guy, red hair.
Now looks like I didn't know him, doesn't it really
knew you? Lots of people know at Earnshaw he had
dealings with you must have been a different Earnshaw. Are
there many Earnshawers in your racket?
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Racket sergeant, no better than that.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I'm a solid citizen.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Earnshaw And what did you do with the plates you
swipe from Baretti? I didn't swipe them. They were, yes,
they were what nothing? I don't know anything about the plates.
He started to say something about them. Obviously you know
there were plates, so you did know, Baretti.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
I'm not talking. You already have You can't prove anything
by it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
At least now we know we're on the right track.
Already had plates for turning our carniv at twenty. Apparently
somebody killed them and swiped the plates. You knew about
the plates at all? Fits You've got no proof we
can get the second I'm outside in common speaking, I
see okay, all right, so long, well Wearing, there's our
(16:08):
other lead ridden. Yeah, there's a Frank Ridder on East
twelfth who did time ten years ago in Kansas for
counterfeiting well COVID. What do you say if I run
over and drop in on this Ridder while you continue
our chat with the insurance? All right, Wearing, But how
come you student so hopped up on the case after
the way your client treated you. That's all right, but
already had insurance. May take a little time, but I'll
get mine. You just set a mouthful wearing. What's that insurance?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
You're going to get yours? All right, only it won't
take time.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Huh Do you think I'm crazy? No, even saying I
might go for a deal like that. What makes you
think I didn't discuss it with a total stranger. Well
that's just the point, no reason why we should be strangers.

get acquainted. Sorry, I'm busy, won't take long, No thanks,

about the plate wearing. You know that briefcase we found
it for ready is with the confiference. Yeah, but I've
got news for you Wearing. It's not counterfect. What they've
(19:40):
just gone through the whole case bill by bill, thirty
thousand bucks and everyone is genuine, one hundred percent United
States currency. Well, I don't have to tell you folks
that there's only one genuine guy of the United States currency.
(20:02):
But just in case you didn't know, I'd like to
tell you that there's also only one miracle Whip. That's
why we call it the one and only Miracle Whip.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Miracle Whip are the favor so pleasing. Miracle Whip tastes
so lively, so teasing.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Miracle Whip only one of its kind. Miracle Whip that's
salad dressing. You'll find 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,
(20:40):
so it's truly distinctive and delicious with a flavor millions
of folks call just exactly right.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Try it, won't you.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
One taste will tell you why it's America's favorite salad dressing,
The one and Only Miracle Whip.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Now back to the adventures of the Pope.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
A couple of hours have passed since the Falcon and
Sergeant Corbett discovered that the money they found at Bready's,
which they thought wasn't worth the paper it was printed on,
turned out to be worth an even thirty grand. Now,
Mike is in his apartment when the door buggers sound.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Oh, let's get back inside, wearing I'm coming in too.
Speaker 1 (21:30):

Speaker 1 (21:49):
The color of your face is plenty serious. You look
as weak as the next drink.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
And a clip. You shut up.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I'm all right, I tell you, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:54):

All right?
Speaker 4 (22:10):

Speaker 1 (22:12):
It was supposed to be a two way deal. You
tossed in your hands.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Still too, way do you like and help you? I
know who killed Baretti?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And what do you want with me?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Get proof? Wrap it up so I get off the spot.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
All right?
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Where do I begin by believing I didn't do the killing?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You had the plates?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You probably still have one?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Yeah, I still have it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I wasn't taking them both up the riders at once.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I wanted to see see if he was on the level. First.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You know you can do a long stretch just for
what you're admitting.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
You know it, were stuck with that? You got the
goods on mean? Nothing I can do but the chair
gives me the willies. I'm not a killer. You've got
to proof.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
And then who is sure? I had the plates? Why
not work with burready? And I see your points? Good?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Just tell me one thing?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
How much was rather going to pay you for the plates?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Twenty five grand?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Why?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I just want to see if it all ties in?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
It does?
Speaker 4 (23:03):
What mean?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You want it proof?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
We've got proof. We don't need anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
What proof your story? They won't believe it, maybe not
all by itself, and I don't suppose to sure already
will talk. But if you stick to your story, and
missus Baretti sticks to hers and I stick to mine,
that should wrap it up. And you think I know,
come on, let's go down. See Sergeant Corbet, no.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Police not yet turns We just that great. Won't discuss it.
As long as I have the gun, we do things
my way.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I suppose we do what's your way?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
You call Mary, who missus Baretti. I want to see
if Louis told her anything.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I know what she knew.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You do what I tell you, and sure tell Sure.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You call Mary and you ask has cut?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
All right? Turns as long as you had the gun,
we do things your way.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You don't have it.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I'm taking you to Sergeant Corbett. First, I'm taking you.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
To a doctor.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
You wearing all here except Kerns. The doctor bring him
in as soon as he finishes patching him up.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And I don't think we need to wait, Corvitt.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I'm pretty sure I know Kerns is angle. So let's
see what we can get out of these others.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Quiet, quiet, please quiet? You want to talk? Talk when
we ask questions?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
You aren't Shaw You still deny you had dealings with Verati.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Jack, it's a bum checker and shawan.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
When Kerns gets here, he'll swear already offer to sell
you the plates.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
And there Kerns is a character who cannot tell a lie.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
All right, Earnshaw You don't admit anything, but you're ready.
It's not so easy wearing cut. Kerns calling on you
with a plate. I can't help who called on me.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
That doesn't say I invited him.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You were expecting him.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You kept looking at the elevator.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Maybe I was just wishing you'd get on at wearing
and you.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Were ready to take the plate with a gun. As
soon as I got it from Kerns.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You guys were fighting.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I wanted to see what it was all about. I'm
sure you didn't know about the plate, not till then
kurn says you offered him twenty five grand for the plates.
You boys shoot a lot of stock in his Kurds,
don't you. He worked for Baretti was in a position
to know the facts. That doesn't say you wouldn't lie
about them. Well, it's not only Kerns. There's Missus Baretti.
She heard her husband mention you on Earnshaw right, Missus Bretty. Yes,
(25:13):
so you see whether it all fits. There's only one
thing that doesn't fit.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Missus Baretti? You said you got those bills you paid
me with from your husband's briefcase.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I did that.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
The bills in the case were good. The ones you
paid me were count of the bills in.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
A briefcase were a little packet, but there were a
few loose ones lying on top.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I took those off.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
They're the ones I gave you could be those could
have been a samples your husband showed insure. Look worring.
I told you, and I'm telling you, weren't sure you
did have dealings with Baretti before you killed him?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
What I killed him?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yes, and I'm glad you admitted those And it doesn't
matter if you do or not. The facts speak for themselves,
earn sure, and what they say about you is murder.
You know, missus Bretty. I learned your name is Marion. Ny.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
You are the detective, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I like Marion better than missus Loretty.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
All right, bike, Thanks Marian And now that was so chummy.
How about letting me in on the trade secret?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Which secret?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
How you solved the keys?
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Well, that money you showed us did it? Huh?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It was real?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Oh what did that prove?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Proved your husband that sold the plates? That money could
only have been payment for them.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
But Kerns had the plate to.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Do it so well, Kern's worked with your husband.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
He was in a position to swipe the plates and
that's exactly what he did. He swiped the real ones
and substituted. It's some old trial plates. See, your husband
made the sale on the basis of the samples he'd
made from the real plates, but the ones he delivered
were karns of substitutes.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Oh and when the person who bought the plates try
to run off the more bill, he found he'd been cheated.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So he went back to your husband.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
The man at the real plate so his money back,
but your husband, thinking he delivered the real ones, refused.
There was a fight about it.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Your husband was killed.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
I see, So all you had to know was who
bought the place, and you'd know the murder.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
But how did you know what Earnshaw?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Well, remember the conversation you overheard. Your husband said, Ritter
still wasn't talking loud enough, but it didn't matter because
Earnshaw had already spoken English. Yeah, well that had to
me that Rita still wasn't offering enough, but it didn't
matter because Earnshaw had already met.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Your husband's price.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Oh of course, Oh, before you get out, I want
to tell you something.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
What's that.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Well, it's obvious you didn't get along with your husband,
but you'll still probably want a little time to get
up at what's happened.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
So when the time's up, perhaps you and I.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Can get together.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Oh, and I'm forgiven for paying you encountered it.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Oh, I wasn't sorry about that. I was sort called
you were saw you still? Maybe anyway, if you get
to feeling lone with me sometime, let me know.
Speaker 3 (27:48):

Why not?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Well, I have a friend who knows you.

time she calls you, you say, thanks.

Wednesday night in New.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
York, and in an old loft, two men bend over
a quest, eagerly intent on the.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Engraving that is emerging from it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
All the long, silent examination of the engraving, light is
brought closer, magnifying glasses are brought into use. Still no words,
but now hands begin to shake with excitement. Finally, the
taller man with a little mustache, Louis Baretti, steps back
and smiles at his companion.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, Gerns, it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The us mint couldn't do better itself anywhere. They'll get
by and that's what gone.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Oh what gets me by?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Ready?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
With the talent like that, you've been wasting time a
little forgery.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It's got to work up to a thing like this.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Hell's course for celebration.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Let's go get a judgn't get ahead of yourself, Gerns.
We've got the plates. Now we've got to unload. Oh,
I'm shure might give us a good price.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You're going to sell the place?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
What else, Well, that's like killing the golden goose. Wait
a minute, a.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Hello?
Speaker 7 (02:46):

I have.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Well doesn't cost to look. I'll be here all night.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Good, I'll be over so now, But why sell the plates? Already?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
This way? We want cash?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
All we got to do is printed? What more can
anybody ask?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
How long you think those two sheets of paper are
going to last us?
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Now cans.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
There's a lot more that this deal than just the plate.
We can get more paper and big quantities. That ain't easy. Besides,
no matter how good those plates are the only perfect
ones at Uncle Sam's, every time we passed the bill,
we'd be sticking on axe out. To do this right,
you have to have an organization. I have to know.

Police Department.

Speaker 7 (05:50):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
What do you know about it?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Nothing was just a hunch. What do you do?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
As far as we know, he didn't do anything. I said,
he's mixed up in something.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Good.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Better prepare yourself for a shock.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I'm prepared. If you didn't do anything, that's shock enough.
Now what is it?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
It's just missus BARRETTI he's dead.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Hello.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I'd like to see mister Wearing.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Please, well, take a good look.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Oh I hope you're mister Wearing.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I want so do I which wearing?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Would it be?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The private detective called a falcon?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I'm your bird. Come in, thank you.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I had a hard time finding you don't. You have
an office in my.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Business, and office means a filing cabinet full of bourbon.
I've heard. Well, I prefer martinis, so I operate out
of my apartment. Who are you and what can I
do for you?
Speaker 8 (06:52):
I'm missus Louis Baretti. Yesterday my husband was murdered. The
police questioned me a good party afternoon they released me.
But I'm still under suspicion, and.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You want me to remove that suspicion.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's right, Well, can you give me any better suspects?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Not positively tentatively?
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Then well, if you could find out anything about a
mister Ritter or a mister Earnshaw.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, that's what I don't know. But from the way that.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
We behaved yesterday morning, I suspected that something was going on.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
And then a mister Riddard fomed the house.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
I couldn't make out much of the conversation, except that
Louise said that mister Riddard still wasn't talking loud enough
and he couldn't hear him, and he said it was
too late anyway, because Earnshaw already spoke English.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Oh that's a.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Great conversation, and you don't know who either of these
men are.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
No, I never mentioned it before.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Is there anyone who might know them?
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Well, the only one I can think of is my
husband's assistant, Pete Kerns. But the police asked him about them,
and he claim he didn't know them.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Oh maybe I'll have better luck. By the way, Missus Burrady,
what did your husband and Kerns do?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
They had a little art studio.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
They made silk screen reproductions and etching things like that.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
But I always had an idea they were doing so
wealth too, Only I never could find out what it was.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Just goes to show man shouldn't keep secrets from his wife.
It's dangerous. Well, sure, look what happened to Louis Baretti.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yes you Pete Kerns, that's right. What do you want?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, I didn't come to look at your etchings. I
thought perhaps you could tell me something about Ritter or Earnsford.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
The police thought the same.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
They were all so wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well do you mind if I come in and look
over the studio?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
You have a search word? No, I mind.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Look, it must have occurred to you, Kerns that you're
a suspect in this case.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Maybe I can help you.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
What makes you think so well.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Missus BARRETTI is paying good money for me to help her.
You can latch on for free ride if you like, provided,
of course, you're.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Not the murderer. That's what I'm looking for when I
need to help up pay my own way.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Such extravagance struggling young artists could afford it.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Don't be able to unless it get to work police.
It kept me out of here until just a.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Little while ago.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
And whoever killed Baretty made the shambles of the place.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So run along. I've got work to do.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's all right, Kurns. But just tell me one thing. Well,
what's what makes you so sure you don't need help?
I'm not so sure. I'm also not so sure you'd
be help. Well, if you change your mind about me,
it can reach me. That's lunch and app over on
Lexington Avene fifty third. Just ask for Mike Wearing. I'll
make a note of it now, So long a hello, Hello, Ridder,
(09:48):
This is Kerns.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
Yeah, Kerns, what is it?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Somebody else has been here looking for you. Sooner or
later they're going to find the Ridder they're looking for.
So if you and I are going to get together.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
We'd better do it.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Quick, Wearing, I see why you always hang out here
at Ed's lunch.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And that they sure turn out a mean salad. Sure, Corbett,
But about the case, I'm sorry, Wearring. I've given you
every blessed fact I've got on the case so far.
I don't want to be something we could latch on too, Corbett,
some kind of a leave. Oh fella, Hey, did you
enjoy your lunchime?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I had?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Oh, Wearing's minds are wrapped up with the case. He
didn't even notice. Didn't notice on Never mind that Corpet
just joking. He's the funniest fellow I know, Gey, Thanks
all right, certainly I didn't notice that salad by Those
were the most delicious vegetable like, yes, that's what I mean, Yes, vegetables.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
They were perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
And that salad dressing that was miracle whip, Mike, you know,
miracle whip makes salad taste better than ever. But sure, yes,
you see, miracle whip has a swell flavor. It's kind
of sharp, yet it's not too sharp either. I think
it tastes just exactly right right. That's why, No, that's
why it's America's favorite salad.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Dressing room.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
As a matter of fact, more Miracle Whip is soul
than the next twenty leading brands of salad dressing combined.
Right right, Mike, And don't forget Miracle Whip is really
a different kind of salad dressing too. That's why they
call it the one and only, isn't it? And it's smooth,
creamy textued U Right, you took the words right out
(11:24):
of my mouth. How do you know all that? Good
little detectives always keep their ears open ed.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You've been telling me about Miracle Whip for a long time.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Now, well what do you know, my elf, except that
maybe you better give us our check.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Now. We've got to be getting along right, Oh you are, Mike?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
All right, Corb, but what's the joke? Look at them?
Give me see a fancy a fumbling?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I never mind, Corbett, you win. I'll take care of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I know it's just all right.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I forget it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I've got it there, ed take both checks out of
this twenty Mike. Hey, wait, is it a gay? What
do you mean?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's a beautiful job.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I'll admit that it's probably passed most places. But I've
been in this game too long, and let one of
these get by me? When places are you talking about this?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Twenty it's kind of it? What well as the sergeant.
If you don't believe me, here's heart to take a look.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Eh oh, he's right, worring. Where did you get this from?
Missus Baretti? Well, what do you know? The falcon lets
himself get paid off in funny money.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
I'm all right, Carpet, you can stop grinning.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's not that funny the way little boys at headquartered
here about this work. Look, Pat, you've been just hello, wow,
my charming client. All right, Missus Baretti, what was the
idea paying me in counterfeits?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
As?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
If you didn't know? I didn't your husband printed it,
didn't he?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I don't know it. I told you I suspected something,
but I didn't know what.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Where did you get the bills you gave me? If
anymore lying around? I luck, Missus BARRETTI. If you don't answer,
we can get a search. One only confident is a
federal of fans. Don't yell. Let the lady warring.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You'll have to forgive.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Him, Missus BARRETTI, he's kind of touchy. Just now come in.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
I don't want any trouble I'll show you where the
money is, all right.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
By Johna's Holway. Well, we came home late a couple
of nights ago. In the morning, you talked about having
a lot of money. He said it had something to
do with the contract. But when I asked him about
he lost his temper. I was afraid something was wrong,
but I.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Didn't know what.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And then he was killed. And then I found a
briefcaseous nurse.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
Here we are in this post under all these states.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Believe me, I didn't know what was comforting.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Where it is hee a briefcase full of the stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Look, you hired me to help you. Why didn't you
show me this.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I didn't think it was necessary.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You were afraid it'd be taken away from you money.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I didn't see why I shouldn't keep.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
You told me you suspected your husband was involved in something.
You hinted strongly that that's something was illegal, So you
knew there was something wrong with the money.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I didn't know it was counterfit. I suspected there's a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
All right, all right, you can fight that app later.
Right now, we've got to get this stuff into the
hands of the treasury.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Boys.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Missus VERRETTI, where's your telephone?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Yeah, we're here of Arnusser.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Oh good, bring him in right, well, Wearying. Now that
we know we're dealing with counterfeiting, we're beginning to get somewhere.
This guy, Ed Earnshaw has been involved in a couple
of counterfeiting deals already, right, mister Earnshaw, come in, sit down,
you know, Mike Wearing Welcome. I've heard of him. It's
(14:48):
a pleasure likewise, and we're both liars. I understand you
boys found a batch of phony scratch and you want
to tie.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Me to it. No, I'll leave that to the Treasury department.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I'm homicide. All I'm interested in is a little matter
of murder.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Well that's a nice subject, but it's a little out
of my line.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah. You know Louie Baretti Breddy. Was he a big
fat guy? He was a little skinny guy, red hair.
Now looks like I didn't know him, doesn't it really
knew you? Lots of people know at Earnshaw he had
dealings with you must have been a different Earnshaw. Are
there many Earnshawers in your racket?
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Racket sergeant, no better than that.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I'm a solid citizen.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Earnshaw And what did you do with the plates you
swipe from Baretti? I didn't swipe them. They were, yes,
they were what nothing? I don't know anything about the plates.
He started to say something about them. Obviously you know
there were plates, so you did know, Baretti.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
I'm not talking. You already have You can't prove anything
by it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
At least now we know we're on the right track.
Already had plates for turning our carniv at twenty. Apparently
somebody killed them and swiped the plates. You knew about
the plates at all? Fits You've got no proof we
can get the second I'm outside in common speaking, I
see okay, all right, so long, well Wearing, there's our
(16:08):
other lead ridden. Yeah, there's a Frank Ridder on East
twelfth who did time ten years ago in Kansas for
counterfeiting well COVID. What do you say if I run
over and drop in on this Ridder while you continue
our chat with the insurance? All right, Wearing, But how
come you student so hopped up on the case after
the way your client treated you. That's all right, but
already had insurance. May take a little time, but I'll
get mine. You just set a mouthful wearing. What's that insurance?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
You're going to get yours? All right, only it won't
take time.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yes, Frank Riddan, that's right. I like to talk to
you quite about I suppose I could put you in
line for a stack of beautiful bills at the rate of.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Two to one.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Huh Do you think I'm crazy? No, even saying I
might go for a deal like that. What makes you
think I didn't discuss it with a total stranger. Well
that's just the point, no reason why we should be strangers.
I was hoping you'd invite me in and we could
get acquainted. Sorry, I'm busy, won't take long, No thanks,
no beat it. You sure are nervous. Why do you
(17:17):
keep looking at the elevator. I told you I'm busy
and I'll get out of here all right, all right,
but oh there's the elevator, said who you've been expected?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Well, what do you know?
Speaker 1 (17:26):

And my how do you like that? He's delivering some
artwork a Steve engraving. Wouldn't just happen to be of

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Well i'll take that play? Oh yeah, sure would? I

Speaker 2 (18:19):
You know, Ridder.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It's impolite occurrence to run out on you, but I
can't complain seeing how I wind up with the gun
and the plate. Now let's get down and see Sergeant Carpet.
Huh oh, Corbett brought your presence back a couple of presents.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Oh hello, is that Ridder?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
This is Ridder and Ridder me Sergeant Corbett seems he
don't want to meet me. Well, he's the bashful type
until I see my lawyer. I am okay, all right, Corbett.
Look what else I have? One of the plates Yep,
it'll make a beautiful print of the back of a
twenty dollars bill. And Ridder had it, But then are
no corpord. Ridder didn't have it.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I got it from P. D.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Kerns Kerns. But then he's our boy. Looks like where
is he gone away?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I swopped him for Riddan.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Looks like a bad trade, but I didn't.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Have any choice. I'll put out a call I haven't
picked up.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Then I better call the Treasury boys and tell him
this plate's here.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You better and it's for you Ridder.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Oh, no homicide, Sergeant Corbas speaking, what's yeah? I see, okay,
So long with the Treasury boys. He didn't tell him
about the plate wearing. You know that briefcase we found
it for ready is with the confiference. Yeah, but I've
got news for you Wearing. It's not counterfect. What they've
(19:40):
just gone through the whole case bill by bill, thirty
thousand bucks and everyone is genuine, one hundred percent United
States currency. Well, I don't have to tell you folks
that there's only one genuine guy of the United States currency.
(20:02):
But just in case you didn't know, I'd like to
tell you that there's also only one miracle Whip. That's
why we call it the one and only Miracle Whip.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Miracle Whip are the favor so pleasing. Miracle Whip tastes
so lively, so teasing.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Miracle Whip only one of its kind. Miracle Whip that's
salad dressing. You'll find 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,
(20:40):
so it's truly distinctive and delicious with a flavor millions
of folks call just exactly right.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Try it, won't you.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
One taste will tell you why it's America's favorite salad dressing,
The one and Only Miracle Whip.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Now back to the adventures of the Pope.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
A couple of hours have passed since the Falcon and
Sergeant Corbett discovered that the money they found at Bready's,
which they thought wasn't worth the paper it was printed on,
turned out to be worth an even thirty grand. Now,
Mike is in his apartment when the door buggers sound.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Oh, let's get back inside, wearing I'm coming in too.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
And so I say, as long as you've got the gun,
I might as well be hospitable. Yeah, now what am
I indebted for this visit?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Wearing?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It wasn't matter you heard?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
It's all right? Stay back, I'm back.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
But you're all right?
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Pro caught up in me?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I ran, they fired.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
It's it's just a scratch. It's not serious, and.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
The color of your face is plenty serious. You look
as weak as the next drink.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
And a clip. You shut up.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I'm all right, I tell you, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
It's your funeral. If you think I'm kidding.
Speaker 5 (21:56):

carrying a gun for exercise?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
All right?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
All right, kens, what do you want?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Let's sit down?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
All right?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You said before you wanted to help me.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
It was supposed to be a two way deal. You
tossed in your hands.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Still too, way do you like and help you? I
know who killed Baretti?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And what do you want with me?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Get proof? Wrap it up so I get off the spot.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
All right?
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Where do I begin by believing I didn't do the killing?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You had the plates?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You probably still have one?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Yeah, I still have it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I wasn't taking them both up the riders at once.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I wanted to see see if he was on the level. First.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You know you can do a long stretch just for
what you're admitting.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
You know it, were stuck with that? You got the
goods on mean? Nothing I can do but the chair
gives me the willies. I'm not a killer. You've got
to proof.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
And then who is sure? I had the plates? Why
not work with burready? And I see your points? Good?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Just tell me one thing?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
How much was rather going to pay you for the plates?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Twenty five grand?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Why?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I just want to see if it all ties in?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
It does?
Speaker 4 (23:03):
What mean?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You want it proof?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
We've got proof. We don't need anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
What proof your story? They won't believe it, maybe not
all by itself, and I don't suppose to sure already
will talk. But if you stick to your story, and
missus Baretti sticks to hers and I stick to mine,
that should wrap it up. And you think I know,
come on, let's go down. See Sergeant Corbet, no.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Police not yet turns We just that great. Won't discuss it.
As long as I have the gun, we do things
my way.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I suppose we do what's your way?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
You call Mary, who missus Baretti. I want to see
if Louis told her anything.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I know what she knew.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You do what I tell you, and sure tell Sure.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You call Mary and you ask has cut?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
All right? Turns as long as you had the gun,
we do things your way.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You don't have it.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I'm taking you to Sergeant Corbett. First, I'm taking you.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
To a doctor.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
You wearing all here except Kerns. The doctor bring him
in as soon as he finishes patching him up.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And I don't think we need to wait, Corvitt.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I'm pretty sure I know Kerns is angle. So let's
see what we can get out of these others.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Quiet, quiet, please quiet? You want to talk? Talk when
we ask questions?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
You aren't Shaw You still deny you had dealings with Verati.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Jack, it's a bum checker and shawan.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
When Kerns gets here, he'll swear already offer to sell
you the plates.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
And there Kerns is a character who cannot tell a lie.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
All right, Earnshaw You don't admit anything, but you're ready.
It's not so easy wearing cut. Kerns calling on you
with a plate. I can't help who called on me.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
That doesn't say I invited him.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
You were expecting him.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You kept looking at the elevator.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Maybe I was just wishing you'd get on at wearing
and you.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Were ready to take the plate with a gun. As
soon as I got it from Kerns.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You guys were fighting.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I wanted to see what it was all about. I'm
sure you didn't know about the plate, not till then
kurn says you offered him twenty five grand for the plates.
You boys shoot a lot of stock in his Kurds,
don't you. He worked for Baretti was in a position
to know the facts. That doesn't say you wouldn't lie
about them. Well, it's not only Kerns. There's Missus Baretti.
She heard her husband mention you on Earnshaw right, Missus Bretty. Yes,
(25:13):
so you see whether it all fits. There's only one
thing that doesn't fit.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Missus Baretti? You said you got those bills you paid
me with from your husband's briefcase.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I did that.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
The bills in the case were good. The ones you
paid me were count of the bills in.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
A briefcase were a little packet, but there were a
few loose ones lying on top.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I took those off.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
They're the ones I gave you could be those could
have been a samples your husband showed insure. Look worring.
I told you, and I'm telling you, weren't sure you
did have dealings with Baretti before you killed him?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
What I killed him?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yes, and I'm glad you admitted those And it doesn't
matter if you do or not. The facts speak for themselves,
earn sure, and what they say about you is murder.
You know, missus Bretty. I learned your name is Marion. Ny.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
You are the detective, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I like Marion better than missus Loretty.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
All right, bike, Thanks Marian And now that was so chummy.
How about letting me in on the trade secret?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Which secret?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
How you solved the keys?
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Well, that money you showed us did it? Huh?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It was real?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Oh what did that prove?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Proved your husband that sold the plates? That money could
only have been payment for them.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
But Kerns had the plate to.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Do it so well, Kern's worked with your husband.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
He was in a position to swipe the plates and
that's exactly what he did. He swiped the real ones
and substituted. It's some old trial plates. See, your husband
made the sale on the basis of the samples he'd
made from the real plates, but the ones he delivered
were karns of substitutes.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Oh and when the person who bought the plates try
to run off the more bill, he found he'd been cheated.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
So he went back to your husband.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
The man at the real plate so his money back,
but your husband, thinking he delivered the real ones, refused.
There was a fight about it.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Your husband was killed.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
I see, So all you had to know was who
bought the place, and you'd know the murder.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
But how did you know what Earnshaw?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Well, remember the conversation you overheard. Your husband said, Ritter
still wasn't talking loud enough, but it didn't matter because
Earnshaw had already spoken English. Yeah, well that had to
me that Rita still wasn't offering enough, but it didn't
matter because Earnshaw had already met.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Your husband's price.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Oh of course, Oh, before you get out, I want
to tell you something.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
