Speaker 1 (00:00):
One has Johnny Delly, Dave Hopkins, Johnny Camden, Life in Fidelity,
Go to German visa, ah right, sleep with a nun
of my pillow, Davy. Huh. If you want Berlin your
next court of call, want it? I want the Storry, Davy.
It's like this, Johnny. A client of Sam Harvey Category
fifty twenty paid life. A couple of years ago, Hobby
(00:20):
went to Berlin as a consulting engine Emperor Machine tool firm.
Six months ago he left these policies from Tanta fifty
thougs good ahead on his shoulders, just lift huh. Also
he changed beneficiaries from his blotheres to a woman he
married over there. Well that's allowed, isn't it, Davy. Well
maybe maybe not. Yesterday we got a cable from Berlin
police hair. Sam Hobby is newly dead in the Rhineland. Well, Johnny, okay, Dave,
(00:45):
you named it Berlin. How about taking a minute or
so to talk about seals and fish that have some
connection with the government of the United States. Now that
isn't as strange as itselfs. You take the matter of seals,
(01:05):
for example, there are two types of seals that are
the responsibility of the Secretary of State. First, there's the
Great Seal of the United States, which is stamped on
all official documents. The Secretary of State make sure it's
always on hand when it's needed. The other kind of
seals he takes care of are the ones that swim
(01:26):
in the ocean. Since it's up to the Secretary to
work out agreements with representatives of other countries and let
them know how many seals can be cast in what
is called international waters, and when the Secretary of State
works out similar deals for the catching of fish and blobsters.
Because these agreements are actually treaties, before they can be
(01:49):
put into effect, they have to be approved by two
thirds of the center. As a matter of fact, any
time our government wants to work out a deal with
a foreign country on trade mutual assistants, fish, seals, or lobsters,
it's done by treaties, and all treaties are signed by
the President, though some of them aren't drawn up until
(02:11):
after the Secretary of State has worked over the rough
spot in order to pave the way for prompt ratification.
So just remember the Secretary of State is a mighty
important wheel in the machinery of your United States government
(02:38):
expense accounts submitted by a special investigator Johnny Daughder to
Home Office, Camden Life and Fidelity Company Limited, Camden, New Jersey.
The following is in accounting of expenditures during my investigation

(13:03):
to whom this letter is a rest to me? To you,
Johnny dolla, what do you say to that? You know?
(13:25):
Many great men have attained the highest office in our land,
the presidency of the United States. Can you guess the
name of this man? He was the second vice president
to become president. The son of a poor family, he
was indentured to a clothmaker as apprentice at fifteen, and
when he was nineteen he bought his freedom for thirty dollars.
(13:47):
As a congressman from New York in eighteen thirty seven,
he opposed the entrance of Texas as a slave territory.
During his administration, the country was strongly pro slavery, and
as a pros Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin.
The anti slavery group in his party strongly resented his
(14:07):
signing a bill which penalized anyone who refused to return
runaway slaves to their rightful owners. If you don't have
his name by now, here's one more clue. His administration
saw California's entrance into the Union. Who was he? Millard Fillmore,
thirteenth President of the United States. His life is part
(14:27):
of your American heritage. And now with our star, John Lund,
we bring you the second act of yours trule. Johnny Dollar,

he begins a letter to me saying, if I want
to know about Sam, which will become an exhibit on
the official files, which figures he knew something about Harvey's debt,

Lyam inviting you to join us again next week at
(27:08):
the same time when from Hollywood John Lound returns as
Yours Truly Johnny Dolls
One has Johnny Delly, Dave Hopkins, Johnny Camden, Life in Fidelity,
Go to German visa, ah right, sleep with a nun
of my pillow, Davy. Huh. If you want Berlin your
next court of call, want it? I want the Storry, Davy.
It's like this, Johnny. A client of Sam Harvey Category
fifty twenty paid life. A couple of years ago, Hobby
(00:20):
went to Berlin as a consulting engine Emperor Machine tool firm.
Six months ago he left these policies from Tanta fifty
thougs good ahead on his shoulders, just lift huh. Also
he changed beneficiaries from his blotheres to a woman he
married over there. Well that's allowed, isn't it, Davy. Well
maybe maybe not. Yesterday we got a cable from Berlin
police hair. Sam Hobby is newly dead in the Rhineland. Well, Johnny, okay, Dave,
(00:45):
you named it Berlin. How about taking a minute or
so to talk about seals and fish that have some
connection with the government of the United States. Now that
isn't as strange as itselfs. You take the matter of seals,
(01:05):
for example, there are two types of seals that are
the responsibility of the Secretary of State. First, there's the
Great Seal of the United States, which is stamped on
all official documents. The Secretary of State make sure it's
always on hand when it's needed. The other kind of
seals he takes care of are the ones that swim
(01:26):
in the ocean. Since it's up to the Secretary to
work out agreements with representatives of other countries and let
them know how many seals can be cast in what
is called international waters, and when the Secretary of State
works out similar deals for the catching of fish and blobsters.
Because these agreements are actually treaties, before they can be
(01:49):
put into effect, they have to be approved by two
thirds of the center. As a matter of fact, any
time our government wants to work out a deal with
a foreign country on trade mutual assistants, fish, seals, or lobsters,
it's done by treaties, and all treaties are signed by
the President, though some of them aren't drawn up until
(02:11):
after the Secretary of State has worked over the rough
spot in order to pave the way for prompt ratification.
So just remember the Secretary of State is a mighty
important wheel in the machinery of your United States government
(02:38):

(04:34):
guest is your Sam Harvey died from there the French
zone was thrown into the harbor of the river of
which current carried him down to Adhere to the harbors
there there he was found. But that's only a guest
an official officials it would be written down, but it

(13:03):
to whom this letter is a rest to me? To you,
Johnny dolla, what do you say to that? You know?
(13:25):
Many great men have attained the highest office in our land,
the presidency of the United States. Can you guess the
name of this man? He was the second vice president
to become president. The son of a poor family, he
was indentured to a clothmaker as apprentice at fifteen, and
when he was nineteen he bought his freedom for thirty dollars.
(13:47):
As a congressman from New York in eighteen thirty seven,
he opposed the entrance of Texas as a slave territory.
During his administration, the country was strongly pro slavery, and
as a pros Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin.
The anti slavery group in his party strongly resented his
(14:07):
signing a bill which penalized anyone who refused to return
runaway slaves to their rightful owners. If you don't have
his name by now, here's one more clue. His administration
saw California's entrance into the Union. Who was he? Millard Fillmore,
thirteenth President of the United States. His life is part
(14:27):
of your American heritage. And now with our star, John Lund,
we bring you the second act of yours trule. Johnny Dollar,
(14:54):

haas into the murder of Sam Harvey fifty thousand dollars worth.
(15:15):
So perhaps you have discovered the thing which I too

explain this death? That is so and tell me so
far I found nothing. Nothing you don't know already, not
one thing I tell you. I I believe you. Well

of It's a black marketeer? And after that what smuggler
from west to the east zone also vice versa the

you understand, a slippery eel, many times arrested, many times
released insufficient evidence and eel. And he's murdered on the
Harvard River and found it span out near the there
the French zone where also was found the body of
(16:21):
Sam Harvey. Fair please forgive me near the French Zone
where also was found the body of Sam Harvey. And
he begins a letter to me saying, if I want
to know about Sam, which will become an exhibit on
the official files, which figures he knew something about Harvey's debt,
I would say so. When someone stopped him from getting
the letter to me, I would say so. And that's all.
