From Hollywood. It's time now for Edmund O'Brien as.

Johnny Dollar. This is Sergeant Magus. I'm calling for police
G Ballance. Oh yes, Sergeant Aukin's going good, damn bad.
You might say.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
We're at the hospital. George and Few just died of
his injuries. But it looks like yell man Charlie Watson
is going.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
To pull through. Has he been questioned?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Jed, No, but the docs say he can't be in
an hour or so. That's what I'm calling about. G
Ballance says you can go over if you want to
get in on it. Ur I'll see in about twenty minutes. Oh, sergeant,
did you get the new.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Tally on the robbery? No, I didn't know there was
no one. It stands at forty eight thousand. Now I'm
a murdered too.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I guess that's when I'll rip Youngs down the pieces,
all right?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Edmund O'Brien and the Transcribed Adventure of the Man with
the Action Packed Expense Accounts America's Fabulous freelance insurance Investigator,
Yours truly, Johnny.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Dallar expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny dalla to
Home Office Columbia Al Risk Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The
following is an accounting of expenditure during my investigation of the
(01:17):
Youngstown Credit Group matter.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Spence gun out of one.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Forty sixty cents an incidentals between Hartmand and Youngstown, Ohio,
where Sergeant Piggen added the following details to what I
had already learned.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
The Youngstown Credit Group is a savings alone set up
for the employees out at Federal Mills.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
About two years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
They set up this service to cash the men's paychecks,
and Field and Watson have been going right out to
the planned every payday at noon chried a small fee
for the service.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
The same two men every week with that kind of money,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And this morning somebody finally caught up with them, knew
the route they took and the time evidently stopped the
car some way, got into it or leave them with
the money, and then pushed them.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Out while they were making their getaway.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And Field and Watson or mess, that's all we've got
except in abandoned sedan that might fit in someplace.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It was a couple of.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Hours later when I was told that one of the victims,
George Entfield had died as a result of being thrown
from the speeding car.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I went to the hospital and they am at Chief
Edward J. Allen, And then.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I'd read about him admired as the police officer who
had led the fight that finally forced Detroit's Purple Gang
out of the Youngstown. I was surprised at his being
on hand so early in a case and said so because.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I haven't gotten used to not being a sergeant. I
guess I answer call the boys anytime I can. We
won't be able to press Watson too far.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He'd be in pretty bad shape from the sedatives. Yeah,
does he know about his part of being then? And yet?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
And we'd better hold it back. Oh, Watson, I feel
like talking about what happened. Sure, I'll try. Thanks Now,
this mister Dollar, he's an insurance investigator. That's a rough
going Watson. I'm Chief Helen. Yes, sir, you tell us
when you want us to leave, Watson, then we will.
(03:09):
But we want to get on this as fast as
we can. And the more you can tell us now,
the better seeing I will we They stopped us just
after we crossed Spring Common Bridge. Were they waiting or
did they follow you from town followed us.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
They started to pass us and forced us off the road.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
You didn't suspect that you were being followed, didn't think
about it.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
How many men were there? For? They had white handkerchiefs
over their faces. Well, can you give us any kind
of a description. I couldn't swear to anything.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
What about clothes? Can you remember if they wore overcoats? Hats?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
That's hard to remember. They all seemed to look alike. Now, Yeah,
they were hats, all of them, and overcoats were they on? Yes, sir,
all of them were on. Well, what can you give
us some of.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
The type of weapons? I don't know very much.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
About gun enough to know if they were automatics or
cylinder tack. The man that took me had an automatic,
I remember that. H Would you say it was a
large gun or a small one? I don't know how
to answer. It didn't look either way. Was it nickel
plate at or blue steel?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
It was dark? I think blue steel. How tall are
you want? Five nine and a half? Was this man
as tall as your little taller? Shir? Is he no dinner?
I'd say I weigh a hundred and seventy? Yeah, you're
doing fine.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Ones, and I had just a few more questions. Did
this man say anything to you?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Just get out?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
He held a gun on me and said get out.
At the same time another one was taken infield out.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
M Nnfield was driving, Yes, sir, it was his car. Uh.
That was a blue nineteen forty eight PLM, the sedan. Huh, yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
They made us get in the back seat on the floor,
kneeling with our heads down.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Where did you have the money, Watson, in the trunk?
Locked in the trunk? Yes, sure, in a briefcase. They
must have known that. Yeah. Now how did they operate then, Watson?
Well they made us stay on the floor.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
They left their car and got an infield, all of 'em,
and later, maybe fifteen minutes, they pushed me out, And
that's all I remember. They say anything, just a word
or two to keep us on the floor. Well, Watson, uh,
see if you can help us with this. Somebody knew
an awful lot about the way you and Nfield operated,
(05:32):
even to the point of knowing they'd have to take
the car because you carry the money in the trunk.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Who would have known all that?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
M quite a few serv I think I would've recognized 'em.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
They wouldn't have to be there, Watson.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Somebody who could have given the information to the fore man, Well.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I can't think of anybody who'd do that, sir.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Well give us the names of as many as you
can remember right now, that bunch had to get the
information from somebody.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
The names he listed included those of men in the
Youngstown Credit Group, a manitu at Federal Mills, and from
the bank where they drew the money each week, three
employees who would have known the time they left and
that they locked the money in the trunk of the car.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
They were twelve, all told, but.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Instead of our following them up, some officers were assigned
to check their movements for anything that might lead us someplace.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
An alarm on.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
The Plymouth sedan and the description of the man with
the grasses was broadcast, and while Chief Allen waited for
results at headquarters, I went out to the East Side
to talk with NFL's widow.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
All I can think is he's gone, and I don't
know what I'm going to do.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I don't know how to tell the kids that he's gone.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You have anybody to help you, missus?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Imfield, Nobody I don't want anybody.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Let alone. Nothing has ever been good.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Nothing he scraped and did without and never got ahead,
and all.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Ends like this.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I don't know what I'm going to do. Might he
have to bother me?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Because somebody who knew a lot about your husband or
wants and is to.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Blame for all this.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I don't hardly know what you're saying to me. I
just keep thinking, I've got to tell the kids.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I'm sorry, Missus Entfield. I hope you could help find
the man who did this thing?
Speaker 5 (07:18):
How could I help.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Anybody by telling me?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
If there was some acquaintance of your husbands you think
might've known his routine when he went to Federal mills,
somebody who could take an advantage of what he knew.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He wouldn't talk about that.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Why should he?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Who are some of his friends? Missus Infield?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I didn't know many of his friends. He never told
me much about what he did, never brought them here.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Where would he have met them? Then?
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Downtown?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Someplace? I'm not sure it could be important.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
He used to bowl, but I never went with him.
I couldn't say where. Why do you make me talk
about things he did?
Speaker 7 (07:52):
He won't do them no more?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Not right.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
You're bothering me like this, not now, that's soon like this.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Leave me alone, all right, President, Believe me, I wouldn't
have come if it weren't so important to learn as
much as we can, as quickly as we can.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The importance of speed, of course, was based.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Upon the tank that for forty eight thousand dollars to
have been used to cash pre checks was in small,
untraceable denominations. What we were afraid of was that the
four hundred men would split the money, separate as quickly
as possible, and.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Leave the area.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
It was five thirty PM by the time I reported
back to Chief Allen. The search for the Plymouth by
then was statewide, but nothing had developed. The quarter past
seven something did The owner of the farm a few
miles from town called in a tip.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
A few minutes later, we pulled up in front of
his house.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Anything probably till I get paper.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
If you do, I read how the police we're looking
for a premisey Dame good My wife won if it
could be the word, he said, don't seem likely, but
I made up my.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Mind to car anyway. I'm glad you did, Missalon. Well,
there's the plumouth like that down there at.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
The edge of my lane.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's there now, twas at nightfall.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And once more I was fixing some griff fins down
that way when it drove in.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
I remember now there.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Was four men got out of there, and what time
was that? About? Noon? Did you get a good look
at these men?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I didn't pay much attention till another car come and
turned around, and they all.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Got into that when I drew wrong for they carrying
anything a briefcase.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I didn't notice. Now which way did they go? Accord
the city? The same way both cars come from.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
And what kind of a car wash?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
They blamed? New models? All looked the same to me.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
I couldn't say it was blue though.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
What about the man?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Is there a chance you would recognize any of them?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I couldn't be sure. I don't pay much attention to people. Well,
thanks very much, Missalon. Well go take a look at
that plumu. They just drive down the end of my fence.
There you'll see a turn off. He's just not read
the road, sort of a lower's lane, like.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It's the car all right down and they dumped it
in the hide, didn't they?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
M M, Yeah, Key's still in the trunk. Lock up
against a really well planned thing here an, they're sure
I had of it so far? Another car, a fifth
man to figure out. Do you think they went back
to town?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Would you have planned it that way?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Maybe? If I had, I would have thrown you a curve.
You and all the deputies and the state police would
be looking for a group of four making a getaway.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, that's right, but.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I'd be back in town, not part of a group anymore.
But anybody on.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
The seat, Yeah, a drawer full of unmarked bills someplace. Well,
we get the seat down in and see if it'll
give us anything. I can drive it if you on
without messing up too many prints. Yeah, I would save
some time.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Hey, co mayor what have you got? I look at
the stain on the floor there, that'd be blood. It's
hard to tell with just a flash.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Let's get this thing in and put somebody to work
on it. We learned that night that the stain on
the rear floor of the saddan.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Was blood, but I didn't get his full meaning until
the next morning when I.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Showed up the police headquarters.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Good morning, hygeant chief, and he's been here since dawn.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Go on in.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Thanks, Ah, there you are just call it your hotel.
I take it.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I'm late for something. Did you sew this thing up
after I got out of your way?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Hardly? I asked him to speed up the autopsy on
Enfield last night, and it turns out that he was
beaten before he was thrown out of that car. Oh,
with all the rest of the damage to his head,
it was easy to miss. But the fatal wounds were
caused by a blunt instrument, probably a length of pipe.
I mean he must have found somebody in the group.
Sure he did.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
We've got a downright premeditated murder on our hands.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
We will return you to yours July, Johnny Dollar. In
just a moment, one of the most informative and prissful
campaigns for freedom is being scheduled by the Voice of America.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
During the last week of December.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Special dramatic programs, news roundups, and musical programs will be
beamed around the world by this great organization. You are
urgently requested to write to your friends overseas and tell
them not to miss the Voice of America's special year
end overseas program. Now of our star Edmond O'Brien, we
bring you the second act of yours, Julie Johnny.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Dollar Morning Watching, Morning, sir, How we're going today? Watching? Yeah?
(13:00):
I think so. Have you caught those guys yet? Not yet?
Have you even told that George Enfield is dead? No,
he died. They killed him, Watson. They beat him before
they pushed him out of the corn.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
The reason must have been because he knew one of
the men, or maybe more than one. Now I know
at a time like that, things got a little out
of focus. On most level headed man in the world
isn't likely to think quite straight. But we want to
go over what happened with you again?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Sure, but I don't see how it could have been
anything like that. But it almost has to be. Watching.
They didn't kill you, so why would kill him if
they didn't have a darn good reason to. I don't know.
They tell me what did Enfield say while this stick
up was going on?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I don't think he said anything. I didn't hear anything
he said anyway, not any names. If that's what you mean.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, that's what I want you to be as clear
about as you can.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I'm sure I didn't hear anything. I was talking so myself.
Maybe he could have said something. I didn't hear while
he was still in the front seat. Yes, sir, I
was scared stiff and I kept telling this guy to
shoot me.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
That's all I was thinking.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I was scared stiff and I couldn't help it. All
I remember is him sitting with his hands still on
the wheel, and those men with masks on coming for us, when.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
You were both on the floor of the back seat. Watson,
did he say anything then, ol s how about you?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I was begging for my life and I'm not ashamed
to say so.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You don't have to be.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I was saying, I don't care about the money and
to let me out of there. I thought they were
gonna kill us then, because I couldn't think of any
other reason why they should.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Take us with him.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I didn't feel nothing. No, I'm sure he didn't. I
remember now.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
One of the men even said something, He said, what's
the matter with you?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Aren't you begging like your buddy?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And George still didn't say anything. Did this man call
him by name? I don't think so. No, he didn't. Yeah,
I think you'd stayed long enough. Thanks very much oncon
sure you may have helped us quite a lot. You
get some rest now, we'll see you later. Yes, sir,
(15:01):
what do you think?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
And I guess the same thing that got to you
that Enfield might have set the whole thing up and
they got rid of him because he was the only
link between them and the job.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Uh, Well, I don't get watched in a half hour's
rest and see if I can find out how end
people was acting before they were stopped. Will you go
out and check the widow again? Sure? Hello, missus, same thing.
(15:40):
What do you want? Well, we've learned some new things
about your husband's daff and I wanted to tell you
about what kind of things? Yeah, I come in from
him for a minute.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
I got work to do.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Thanks, miss same to you.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
What kind of things did you find out about George?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That he didn't die because he was pushed out of
the car?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I was he?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Then?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
He died as a result of a beating the man
who's told them money? He killed him for one reason
or another.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I don't see any difference. He's gone and it don't
change things how it happened. Is that all you came
to tell me?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Zamfield. I don't understand you. Don't you wanna help us
find them? And who kill him? It's over with now.
I'm gonna try and forget muh.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
I'm afraid it's not as simple as that. I can
tell you this, Miss Zanfield. The police think it's possible
that your husband was involved.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
In that robbery. Why do they? I told you yesterday.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Those men knew so much about the habits of your
husband and Watson that they must have learned from one
of them or from somebody very close to either one,
and Watson is pretty much clear in their books.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I don't know, you don't know what.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I'm all mixed up. I knew something was wrong. I
even thought about what you just said, but I tried
not to. I didn't want it to be true.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
If it's true, it'll come out. You've got to realize
that as my.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Sister from Cleveland came and got the kids, she can
keep the truth from them until I can move out
of here. They think he was a hero. They're all
I care about. Nothing can hurt me anymore than he did.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
I'll show you what kind of a man he was.
This is what I found yesterday. Before you came a
railroad ticket. He was gonna leave us California.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Why did you tell me yesterday.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
I didn't want anybody to know. I was ashamed, the
kids mostly. I didn't want them ever to find out
he was gonna leave us with no money, with bills
we couldn't pay.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
That's what he thought of us. Was he involved in
the robbery? Missus Infield, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Something was going on for the past two weeks he
would tell her was something. He was out every night.
He'd say it was at the high Point Bowling Alleys.
But one night I was sick in that phone there.
He hadn't been there for three nights.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Do you have any idea who he'd been seeing. No.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
One night he talked on the phone to somebody named Carl.
I was listening, and he said he'd meet this car
at the high Point.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's all I know. Nothing more definite about the robbery.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
No except why would he buy a railroad ticket to
California unless he was gonna run away Carl at.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
The high Point.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Thanks, missus Enfield, we'll see if we can find him.
Comparing notes with Chief Allen made it look all the
more like we were on the right track. Watson had
told him that Enfield's attitude when they left the bank
could have meant that he was under some kind of strain. Surprisingly,
the name Carl fit in almost immediately. Carl Huffman are
(18:46):
punk with an unimportant police record, had been seen meeting
infield in the high Point Allys. He was easily located
and brought in for questioning. You remember me, Huffman, what
are you doing? Still in town?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
All lost as I can be here?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Who told you to say that?
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Nobody has to tell me to say something that's true?
Remember the last time you were in here?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
No, when I do?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
You were playing it big then too. You were counting
on some friends from Detroit who didn't come through. Whose
gang was that, Huffing? I don't remember, yes, should do?
You thought it was the strongest organization in this part
of the country. You thought, hiding behind them you couldn't
be picked up. You had the idea that just because
you were on the fringe of organized crime, nobody can
hurt you.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
But you got hurt, didn't you? A year on the
last rap?
Speaker 6 (19:30):
So I got a year?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
That settles it.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
If you had any brains hupfering, you wouldn't be where
you are now. You'd be a decent citizen. But here,
y are you just can't get along in the world
like everybody else. All right, let's talk about George Enfield.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
What about him?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Do you want to take the rap for his murder?
I can give it to you.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
What are your hand in me?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
What murder? All we need is the fact that he
was with you night before last. We've got that.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
It's a lie.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I believe our witness under oath before I believe you.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
It's a lie.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
What witness? Benhochek the high point? He says, you were
there the other night.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
I'm sure I was. There's no law against that either.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Hocheck says, you've been meeting Enfield there and leaving with him.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
He says, you've been doing that for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Well, I don't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
You ought to play it smart, Huffman. He's got a
lot on.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
You, Kenny. I didn't do nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You were seeing Enfield leaving. His wife knew that. She
knew he was planning to leave town too.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I can't help that you were seeing him so you
could set up that robbery, Isn't that right?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Let's get back to that other thing you don't know about.
Where were you the other morning between eleven and moon.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
I've already told you I slipped late.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Your hotel clerk says he saw you leave it about
ten thirty.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
He must have been mistaken.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Do you want to take this wrap alone?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
What rap? You've got? Nothing on me?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
We've got enough to make a chart stick.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
You can have. I didn't do nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I'll show you what we've got. You're in a bad way, Huffman.
He didn't tell you yet about the witness.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
How can there be a witness?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
A farmer out where you dumped the plymouth he saw
you drive it in. He watched you open the trunk
and take the briefcase out. He's on his way in.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
All right. Do you ever see this before? Huffing?
Speaker 6 (21:05):
No, No, I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I don't know what it is. What does it look like?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's a piece of pipe we found in a ditch
along the highway out past Federal Mills.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
About a half mile on where you tossed Enfield out
of the car.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
I tell you, I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I get it close, Huffman. See these marks up here.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
They're small, but they're bloodstains.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
No meaning to me.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
It did Tenfield. That's what killed him.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
I don't know anything about it. I never saw it before.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
How come it's got your prints on it?
Speaker 6 (21:34):
That's a lie. I never touched it. I wasn't even.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I watch it. That's right. Why take it all yourself?
Speaker 7 (21:43):
Look, look, I didn't know there was going to be
any killing. If I had, I wouldn't have got mixed
up in him.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Who were the rest of them?
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Bill, Lloyd Burn Clark? But it was Enfield's idea he started.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
There are two more men, aren't they? What kind of
a break do I get forgiving you?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
You can't make a deal with me, huff, when you
know that any break will have to come from the
district attorney.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Who are the other two men?
Speaker 6 (22:04):
They are brothers, brothers.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, when did they come back to town a couple
of weeks ago?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
They have been laying mighty low. We haven't heard about it. Well,
they wanted it kept quiet. They came back to build
up a new organization.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Chief.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Look, I'm giving you a lot. I ought to get
a break, and they won't hurt you to co operate. Well,
they're the ones that did the killing. Edwon Charlie. Why
they didn't like in Phield. They were sitting in the
back seat with him. They didn't say anything till after though.
Then they said that they were afraid he'd spill everything.
They knew he was gonna leave town, and they said
nobody'd ever find out how he was killed.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
M the other two men still teamed up with him.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
No, No, this was her first job for Lewis and Clark.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
They work at the East Trucking Company.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And what about the Theo brothers. Where are they.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
Staying at their old place out at the city.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Of Texedo, clem uh, let's still close them.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Well, that's where they are unless they left when they
learned you picked me up.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Well, how would they know that?
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Look, I'm giving you an awful lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Chief.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
They know because one of their friends has been following
me around ever since the job.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Sargan Biggins.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
You see, the Fayre brothers are back in town back
according to Huffman, they've holed up in their own joint.
You have two or three squad cars out there. I
don't want them to try to take the place, because
the fays have probably been tipped. I want some roadblocks
set up in case they try to leave. I'll get
right on it and get five or six of our
best men to meet me here. At four point thirty,
I'll go out and pick them up at dust.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I got the background on the Fair brothers while Chief
Allan and I are on my way to pick up
the other two men made by Huffman. They've been at
the bottom of most of the organized crime in Youngstown
when Alan had taken over. I've fight against them has
become almost a personal one.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
It ended when the affairs left town, and the fear
now is that it would be reopened.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
There's no trouble from William Lewick and Vernon. A couple
of first time is out for some easy money. Their
statements brought out Karl Huffman's that the Fair brothers had
done the killing.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
At four point thirty, the process of bringing them in
got under way.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
According to Fredericks, they tried to leave a little after three.
They pulled out in a gray sedan, but when they
saw the roadblock, they turned back.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
So that's what we face now.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
We're coming. They waiting for us. You men were picked
because you've all been up against them before. You know
what to expect. Anybody have a question, all right, we
better get started. Anything happening, Biggins. Some guy from a
(24:51):
grocery store back now at that crossroad got curious and
came to talk to us. He says the players have
been coming in the store. He says they've been drunk
the last couple of days. It's something to think about, chie, No,
it is if they are gas up there a sins
to make a play. Now, we'll see who's that up
ahead like Samuel's he got there just a minute ago.
Walter and Hayes are with him, both with Thompson's good.
(25:12):
They no lights in the place. I don't know what
they're thinking. They must know whe're coming. What's the layer
out of the place, and the living corners are in
the rear and that's where they'll probably be. But uh uh, Biggins,
y see, you take one of the men with the
Thompson go in the front. I want the other to
cover me at the rear door. Walter's back there already
a guard.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Let's get it done then, Dollar like he's too chief, Okay,
good luck biggin Yes, sir, I'm moving in now, Walter ride. Yeah,
that's the door downing. Good, aren't tell me windows? Uh
(25:55):
you can cover me from here. I'll be a hero
in front of that door. I'll watching jolly tipella.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
He's all right, all right, walha the Thompson if they
want to talk, way, hey, come on, give.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Me a hand. Expense account Item two one hundred and
(26:42):
four dollars miscellaneous. Item three same as Item one, transportation
back to Hartford. Expense account total one hundred and ninety
five dollars and twenty cents. Remarks a reasonable figure, I think,
considering not only the recovery of most of the stolen money,
but also the fact that the company received the personal
services of my good friend Chief of Police Edward Jay Allen.

You might say.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
We're at the hospital. George and Few just died of
his injuries. But it looks like yell man Charlie Watson
is going.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
To pull through. Has he been questioned?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Jed, No, but the docs say he can't be in
an hour or so. That's what I'm calling about. G
Ballance says you can go over if you want to
get in on it. Ur I'll see in about twenty minutes. Oh, sergeant,
did you get the new.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Tally on the robbery? No, I didn't know there was

I guess that's when I'll rip Youngs down the pieces,
all right?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Edmund O'Brien and the Transcribed Adventure of the Man with
the Action Packed Expense Accounts America's Fabulous freelance insurance Investigator,
Yours truly, Johnny.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Dallar expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny dalla to
Home Office Columbia Al Risk Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The
following is an accounting of expenditure during my investigation of the
(01:17):
Youngstown Credit Group matter.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Spence gun out of one.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Forty sixty cents an incidentals between Hartmand and Youngstown, Ohio,
where Sergeant Piggen added the following details to what I
had already learned.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
The Youngstown Credit Group is a savings alone set up
for the employees out at Federal Mills.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
About two years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
They set up this service to cash the men's paychecks,
and Field and Watson have been going right out to
the planned every payday at noon chried a small fee
for the service.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
The same two men every week with that kind of money,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And this morning somebody finally caught up with them, knew
the route they took and the time evidently stopped the
car some way, got into it or leave them with
the money, and then pushed them.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Out while they were making their getaway.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And Field and Watson or mess, that's all we've got
except in abandoned sedan that might fit in someplace.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It was a couple of.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Hours later when I was told that one of the victims,
George Entfield had died as a result of being thrown
from the speeding car.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I went to the hospital and they am at Chief
Edward J. Allen, And then.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I'd read about him admired as the police officer who
had led the fight that finally forced Detroit's Purple Gang
out of the Youngstown. I was surprised at his being
on hand so early in a case and said so because.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I haven't gotten used to not being a sergeant. I
guess I answer call the boys anytime I can. We
won't be able to press Watson too far.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He'd be in pretty bad shape from the sedatives. Yeah,
does he know about his part of being then? And yet?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
And we'd better hold it back. Oh, Watson, I feel
like talking about what happened. Sure, I'll try. Thanks Now,
this mister Dollar, he's an insurance investigator. That's a rough
going Watson. I'm Chief Helen. Yes, sir, you tell us
when you want us to leave, Watson, then we will.
(03:09):
But we want to get on this as fast as
we can. And the more you can tell us now,
the better seeing I will we They stopped us just
after we crossed Spring Common Bridge. Were they waiting or
did they follow you from town followed us.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
They started to pass us and forced us off the road.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
You didn't suspect that you were being followed, didn't think
about it.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
How many men were there? For? They had white handkerchiefs
over their faces. Well, can you give us any kind
of a description. I couldn't swear to anything.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
What about clothes? Can you remember if they wore overcoats? Hats?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
That's hard to remember. They all seemed to look alike. Now, Yeah,
they were hats, all of them, and overcoats were they on? Yes, sir,
all of them were on. Well, what can you give
us some of.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
The type of weapons? I don't know very much.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
About gun enough to know if they were automatics or
cylinder tack. The man that took me had an automatic,
I remember that. H Would you say it was a
large gun or a small one? I don't know how
to answer. It didn't look either way. Was it nickel
plate at or blue steel?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
It was dark? I think blue steel. How tall are
you want? Five nine and a half? Was this man
as tall as your little taller? Shir? Is he no dinner?
I'd say I weigh a hundred and seventy? Yeah, you're
doing fine.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Ones, and I had just a few more questions. Did
this man say anything to you?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Just get out?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
He held a gun on me and said get out.
At the same time another one was taken infield out.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
M Nnfield was driving, Yes, sir, it was his car. Uh.
That was a blue nineteen forty eight PLM, the sedan. Huh, yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
They made us get in the back seat on the floor,
kneeling with our heads down.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Where did you have the money, Watson, in the trunk?
Locked in the trunk? Yes, sure, in a briefcase. They
must have known that. Yeah. Now how did they operate then, Watson?
Well they made us stay on the floor.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
They left their car and got an infield, all of 'em,
and later, maybe fifteen minutes, they pushed me out, And
that's all I remember. They say anything, just a word
or two to keep us on the floor. Well, Watson, uh,
see if you can help us with this. Somebody knew
an awful lot about the way you and Nfield operated,
(05:32):
even to the point of knowing they'd have to take
the car because you carry the money in the trunk.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Who would have known all that?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
M quite a few serv I think I would've recognized 'em.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
They wouldn't have to be there, Watson.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Somebody who could have given the information to the fore man, Well.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I can't think of anybody who'd do that, sir.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Well give us the names of as many as you
can remember right now, that bunch had to get the
information from somebody.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
The names he listed included those of men in the
Youngstown Credit Group, a manitu at Federal Mills, and from
the bank where they drew the money each week, three
employees who would have known the time they left and
that they locked the money in the trunk of the car.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
They were twelve, all told, but.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Instead of our following them up, some officers were assigned
to check their movements for anything that might lead us someplace.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
An alarm on.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
The Plymouth sedan and the description of the man with
the grasses was broadcast, and while Chief Allen waited for
results at headquarters, I went out to the East Side
to talk with NFL's widow.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
All I can think is he's gone, and I don't
know what I'm going to do.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I don't know how to tell the kids that he's gone.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You have anybody to help you, missus?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Imfield, Nobody I don't want anybody.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Let alone. Nothing has ever been good.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Nothing he scraped and did without and never got ahead,
and all.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Ends like this.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I don't know what I'm going to do. Might he
have to bother me?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Because somebody who knew a lot about your husband or
wants and is to.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Blame for all this.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I don't hardly know what you're saying to me. I
just keep thinking, I've got to tell the kids.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I'm sorry, Missus Entfield. I hope you could help find
the man who did this thing?
Speaker 5 (07:18):
How could I help.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Anybody by telling me?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
If there was some acquaintance of your husbands you think
might've known his routine when he went to Federal mills,
somebody who could take an advantage of what he knew.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He wouldn't talk about that.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Why should he?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Who are some of his friends? Missus Infield?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I didn't know many of his friends. He never told
me much about what he did, never brought them here.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Where would he have met them? Then?
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Downtown?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Someplace? I'm not sure it could be important.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
He used to bowl, but I never went with him.
I couldn't say where. Why do you make me talk
about things he did?
Speaker 7 (07:52):
He won't do them no more?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Not right.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
You're bothering me like this, not now, that's soon like this.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Leave me alone, all right, President, Believe me, I wouldn't
have come if it weren't so important to learn as
much as we can, as quickly as we can.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The importance of speed, of course, was based.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Upon the tank that for forty eight thousand dollars to
have been used to cash pre checks was in small,
untraceable denominations. What we were afraid of was that the
four hundred men would split the money, separate as quickly
as possible, and.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Leave the area.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
It was five thirty PM by the time I reported
back to Chief Allen. The search for the Plymouth by
then was statewide, but nothing had developed. The quarter past
seven something did The owner of the farm a few
miles from town called in a tip.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
A few minutes later, we pulled up in front of
his house.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Anything probably till I get paper.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
If you do, I read how the police we're looking
for a premisey Dame good My wife won if it
could be the word, he said, don't seem likely, but
I made up my.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Mind to car anyway. I'm glad you did, Missalon. Well,
there's the plumouth like that down there at.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
The edge of my lane.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's there now, twas at nightfall.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And once more I was fixing some griff fins down
that way when it drove in.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
I remember now there.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Was four men got out of there, and what time
was that? About? Noon? Did you get a good look
at these men?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I didn't pay much attention till another car come and
turned around, and they all.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Got into that when I drew wrong for they carrying
anything a briefcase.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I didn't notice. Now which way did they go? Accord
the city? The same way both cars come from.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
And what kind of a car wash?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
They blamed? New models? All looked the same to me.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
I couldn't say it was blue though.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
What about the man?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Is there a chance you would recognize any of them?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I couldn't be sure. I don't pay much attention to people. Well,
thanks very much, Missalon. Well go take a look at
that plumu. They just drive down the end of my fence.
There you'll see a turn off. He's just not read
the road, sort of a lower's lane, like.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It's the car all right down and they dumped it
in the hide, didn't they?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
M M, Yeah, Key's still in the trunk. Lock up
against a really well planned thing here an, they're sure
I had of it so far? Another car, a fifth
man to figure out. Do you think they went back
to town?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Would you have planned it that way?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Maybe? If I had, I would have thrown you a curve.
You and all the deputies and the state police would
be looking for a group of four making a getaway.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, that's right, but.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I'd be back in town, not part of a group anymore.
But anybody on.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
The seat, Yeah, a drawer full of unmarked bills someplace. Well,
we get the seat down in and see if it'll
give us anything. I can drive it if you on
without messing up too many prints. Yeah, I would save
some time.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Hey, co mayor what have you got? I look at
the stain on the floor there, that'd be blood. It's
hard to tell with just a flash.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Let's get this thing in and put somebody to work
on it. We learned that night that the stain on
the rear floor of the saddan.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Was blood, but I didn't get his full meaning until
the next morning when I.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Showed up the police headquarters.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Good morning, hygeant chief, and he's been here since dawn.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Go on in.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Thanks, Ah, there you are just call it your hotel.
I take it.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I'm late for something. Did you sew this thing up
after I got out of your way?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Hardly? I asked him to speed up the autopsy on
Enfield last night, and it turns out that he was
beaten before he was thrown out of that car. Oh,
with all the rest of the damage to his head,
it was easy to miss. But the fatal wounds were
caused by a blunt instrument, probably a length of pipe.
I mean he must have found somebody in the group.
Sure he did.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
We've got a downright premeditated murder on our hands.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
We will return you to yours July, Johnny Dollar. In
just a moment, one of the most informative and prissful
campaigns for freedom is being scheduled by the Voice of America.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
During the last week of December.
Speaker 1 (12:17):

urgently requested to write to your friends overseas and tell
them not to miss the Voice of America's special year

bring you the second act of yours, Julie Johnny.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Dollar Morning Watching, Morning, sir, How we're going today? Watching? Yeah?
(13:00):
I think so. Have you caught those guys yet? Not yet?
Have you even told that George Enfield is dead? No,
he died. They killed him, Watson. They beat him before
they pushed him out of the corn.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
The reason must have been because he knew one of
the men, or maybe more than one. Now I know
at a time like that, things got a little out
of focus. On most level headed man in the world
isn't likely to think quite straight. But we want to
go over what happened with you again?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Sure, but I don't see how it could have been
anything like that. But it almost has to be. Watching.
They didn't kill you, so why would kill him if
they didn't have a darn good reason to. I don't know.
They tell me what did Enfield say while this stick
up was going on?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I don't think he said anything. I didn't hear anything
he said anyway, not any names. If that's what you mean.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, that's what I want you to be as clear
about as you can.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I'm sure I didn't hear anything. I was talking so myself.
Maybe he could have said something. I didn't hear while
he was still in the front seat. Yes, sir, I
was scared stiff and I kept telling this guy to
shoot me.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
That's all I was thinking.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I was scared stiff and I couldn't help it. All
I remember is him sitting with his hands still on
the wheel, and those men with masks on coming for us, when.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
You were both on the floor of the back seat. Watson,
did he say anything then, ol s how about you?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I was begging for my life and I'm not ashamed
to say so.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You don't have to be.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I was saying, I don't care about the money and
to let me out of there. I thought they were
gonna kill us then, because I couldn't think of any
other reason why they should.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Take us with him.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I didn't feel nothing. No, I'm sure he didn't. I
remember now.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
One of the men even said something, He said, what's
the matter with you?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Aren't you begging like your buddy?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And George still didn't say anything. Did this man call
him by name? I don't think so. No, he didn't. Yeah,
I think you'd stayed long enough. Thanks very much oncon
sure you may have helped us quite a lot. You
get some rest now, we'll see you later. Yes, sir,
(15:01):
what do you think?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
And I guess the same thing that got to you
that Enfield might have set the whole thing up and
they got rid of him because he was the only
link between them and the job.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Uh, Well, I don't get watched in a half hour's
rest and see if I can find out how end
people was acting before they were stopped. Will you go
out and check the widow again? Sure? Hello, missus, same thing.
(15:40):
What do you want? Well, we've learned some new things
about your husband's daff and I wanted to tell you
about what kind of things? Yeah, I come in from
him for a minute.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
I got work to do.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Thanks, miss same to you.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
What kind of things did you find out about George?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That he didn't die because he was pushed out of
the car?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I was he?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Then?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
He died as a result of a beating the man
who's told them money? He killed him for one reason
or another.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I don't see any difference. He's gone and it don't
change things how it happened. Is that all you came
to tell me?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Zamfield. I don't understand you. Don't you wanna help us
find them? And who kill him? It's over with now.
I'm gonna try and forget muh.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
I'm afraid it's not as simple as that. I can
tell you this, Miss Zanfield. The police think it's possible
that your husband was involved.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
In that robbery. Why do they? I told you yesterday.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Those men knew so much about the habits of your
husband and Watson that they must have learned from one
of them or from somebody very close to either one,
and Watson is pretty much clear in their books.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I don't know, you don't know what.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I'm all mixed up. I knew something was wrong. I
even thought about what you just said, but I tried
not to. I didn't want it to be true.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
If it's true, it'll come out. You've got to realize
that as my.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Sister from Cleveland came and got the kids, she can
keep the truth from them until I can move out
of here. They think he was a hero. They're all
I care about. Nothing can hurt me anymore than he did.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
I'll show you what kind of a man he was.
This is what I found yesterday. Before you came a
railroad ticket. He was gonna leave us California.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Why did you tell me yesterday.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
I didn't want anybody to know. I was ashamed, the
kids mostly. I didn't want them ever to find out
he was gonna leave us with no money, with bills
we couldn't pay.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
That's what he thought of us. Was he involved in
the robbery? Missus Infield, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Something was going on for the past two weeks he
would tell her was something. He was out every night.
He'd say it was at the high Point Bowling Alleys.
But one night I was sick in that phone there.
He hadn't been there for three nights.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Do you have any idea who he'd been seeing. No.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
One night he talked on the phone to somebody named Carl.
I was listening, and he said he'd meet this car
at the high Point.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's all I know. Nothing more definite about the robbery.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
No except why would he buy a railroad ticket to
California unless he was gonna run away Carl at.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
The high Point.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Thanks, missus Enfield, we'll see if we can find him.
Comparing notes with Chief Allen made it look all the
more like we were on the right track. Watson had
told him that Enfield's attitude when they left the bank
could have meant that he was under some kind of strain. Surprisingly,
the name Carl fit in almost immediately. Carl Huffman are
(18:46):
punk with an unimportant police record, had been seen meeting
infield in the high Point Allys. He was easily located
and brought in for questioning. You remember me, Huffman, what
are you doing? Still in town?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
All lost as I can be here?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Who told you to say that?
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Nobody has to tell me to say something that's true?
Remember the last time you were in here?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
No, when I do?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
You were playing it big then too. You were counting
on some friends from Detroit who didn't come through. Whose
gang was that, Huffing? I don't remember, yes, should do?
You thought it was the strongest organization in this part
of the country. You thought, hiding behind them you couldn't
be picked up. You had the idea that just because
you were on the fringe of organized crime, nobody can
hurt you.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
But you got hurt, didn't you? A year on the
last rap?
Speaker 6 (19:30):
So I got a year?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
That settles it.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
If you had any brains hupfering, you wouldn't be where
you are now. You'd be a decent citizen. But here,
y are you just can't get along in the world
like everybody else. All right, let's talk about George Enfield.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
What about him?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Do you want to take the rap for his murder?
I can give it to you.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
What are your hand in me?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
What murder? All we need is the fact that he
was with you night before last. We've got that.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
It's a lie.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I believe our witness under oath before I believe you.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
It's a lie.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
What witness? Benhochek the high point? He says, you were
there the other night.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
I'm sure I was. There's no law against that either.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Hocheck says, you've been meeting Enfield there and leaving with him.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
He says, you've been doing that for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Well, I don't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
You ought to play it smart, Huffman. He's got a
lot on.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
You, Kenny. I didn't do nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You were seeing Enfield leaving. His wife knew that. She
knew he was planning to leave town too.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I can't help that you were seeing him so you
could set up that robbery, Isn't that right?
Speaker 6 (20:22):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Let's get back to that other thing you don't know about.
Where were you the other morning between eleven and moon.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
I've already told you I slipped late.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Your hotel clerk says he saw you leave it about
ten thirty.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
He must have been mistaken.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Do you want to take this wrap alone?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
What rap? You've got? Nothing on me?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
We've got enough to make a chart stick.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
You can have. I didn't do nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I'll show you what we've got. You're in a bad way, Huffman.
He didn't tell you yet about the witness.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
How can there be a witness?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
A farmer out where you dumped the plymouth he saw
you drive it in. He watched you open the trunk
and take the briefcase out. He's on his way in.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
All right. Do you ever see this before? Huffing?
Speaker 6 (21:05):
No, No, I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I don't know what it is. What does it look like?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's a piece of pipe we found in a ditch
along the highway out past Federal Mills.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
About a half mile on where you tossed Enfield out
of the car.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
I tell you, I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I get it close, Huffman. See these marks up here.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
They're small, but they're bloodstains.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
No meaning to me.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
It did Tenfield. That's what killed him.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
I don't know anything about it. I never saw it before.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
How come it's got your prints on it?
Speaker 6 (21:34):
That's a lie. I never touched it. I wasn't even.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I watch it. That's right. Why take it all yourself?
Speaker 7 (21:43):
Look, look, I didn't know there was going to be
any killing. If I had, I wouldn't have got mixed
up in him.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Who were the rest of them?
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Bill, Lloyd Burn Clark? But it was Enfield's idea he started.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
There are two more men, aren't they? What kind of
a break do I get forgiving you?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
You can't make a deal with me, huff, when you
know that any break will have to come from the
district attorney.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Who are the other two men?
Speaker 6 (22:04):
They are brothers, brothers.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, when did they come back to town a couple
of weeks ago?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
They have been laying mighty low. We haven't heard about it. Well,
they wanted it kept quiet. They came back to build
up a new organization.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Chief.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Look, I'm giving you a lot. I ought to get
a break, and they won't hurt you to co operate. Well,
they're the ones that did the killing. Edwon Charlie. Why
they didn't like in Phield. They were sitting in the
back seat with him. They didn't say anything till after though.
Then they said that they were afraid he'd spill everything.
They knew he was gonna leave town, and they said
nobody'd ever find out how he was killed.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
M the other two men still teamed up with him.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
No, No, this was her first job for Lewis and Clark.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
They work at the East Trucking Company.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And what about the Theo brothers. Where are they.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
Staying at their old place out at the city.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Of Texedo, clem uh, let's still close them.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Well, that's where they are unless they left when they
learned you picked me up.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Well, how would they know that?
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Look, I'm giving you an awful lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Chief.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
They know because one of their friends has been following
me around ever since the job.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Sargan Biggins.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
You see, the Fayre brothers are back in town back
according to Huffman, they've holed up in their own joint.
You have two or three squad cars out there. I
don't want them to try to take the place, because
the fays have probably been tipped. I want some roadblocks
set up in case they try to leave. I'll get
right on it and get five or six of our
best men to meet me here. At four point thirty,
I'll go out and pick them up at dust.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I got the background on the Fair brothers while Chief
Allan and I are on my way to pick up
the other two men made by Huffman. They've been at
the bottom of most of the organized crime in Youngstown
when Alan had taken over. I've fight against them has
become almost a personal one.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
It ended when the affairs left town, and the fear
now is that it would be reopened.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
There's no trouble from William Lewick and Vernon. A couple
of first time is out for some easy money. Their
statements brought out Karl Huffman's that the Fair brothers had
done the killing.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
At four point thirty, the process of bringing them in
got under way.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
According to Fredericks, they tried to leave a little after three.
They pulled out in a gray sedan, but when they
saw the roadblock, they turned back.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
So that's what we face now.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
We're coming. They waiting for us. You men were picked
because you've all been up against them before. You know
what to expect. Anybody have a question, all right, we
better get started. Anything happening, Biggins. Some guy from a
(24:51):
grocery store back now at that crossroad got curious and
came to talk to us. He says the players have
been coming in the store. He says they've been drunk
the last couple of days. It's something to think about, chie, No,
it is if they are gas up there a sins
to make a play. Now, we'll see who's that up
ahead like Samuel's he got there just a minute ago.
Walter and Hayes are with him, both with Thompson's good.
(25:12):
They no lights in the place. I don't know what
they're thinking. They must know whe're coming. What's the layer
out of the place, and the living corners are in
the rear and that's where they'll probably be. But uh uh, Biggins,
y see, you take one of the men with the
Thompson go in the front. I want the other to
cover me at the rear door. Walter's back there already
a guard.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Let's get it done then, Dollar like he's too chief, Okay,
good luck biggin Yes, sir, I'm moving in now, Walter ride. Yeah,
that's the door downing. Good, aren't tell me windows? Uh
(25:55):
you can cover me from here. I'll be a hero
in front of that door. I'll watching jolly tipella.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
He's all right, all right, walha the Thompson if they
want to talk, way, hey, come on, give.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Me a hand. Expense account Item two one hundred and
(26:42):
four dollars miscellaneous. Item three same as Item one, transportation
back to Hartford. Expense account total one hundred and ninety
five dollars and twenty cents. Remarks a reasonable figure, I think,
considering not only the recovery of most of the stolen money,
but also the fact that the company received the personal
services of my good friend Chief of Police Edward Jay Allen.
