to twenty five long distance called a Pat McCracken at
Universal Adjustment Bureau in Harford. Pad agreed that five hundred
was a small price to play if it got us
a man who'd embezzled one hundred and twenty thousand from
a New York investment outfit. It AM nine three seventy
(01:46):
phone called a George Everson, senior partner of the investment
outfit in New York. It was Everson who'd spotted a
newspaper picture of a New Orleans bar with a man
in the background who looked to him like Chase. Everson
had been afraid he was sending me on a wild
goose chase, and he was happy to hear his wild
goose that just laid a golden egg. I had him
(02:06):
ten two dollars. It sort of newspapers and magazine is
to kill Tom. Yeah, there was nothing I could do
until I met Freddy quintanat AS's castle at ten pm.
Pops Harker, the trumpet player at ASA's castle. It told
me Freddy was a bad one, but right now he
was my only lead. The day Dragon finally had got dark,
and I was just starting to think about dinner.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Hello, Johnny, Lulla Chase, May I come in?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well? Yeah, sure, come on. Well what are you doing here, Lola?
I thought you were in New York.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Georg Jefferson told me about your phone call to him
this morning. Did you think Tom is here in New Orleans?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well? Yeah, j Efversince said he hadn't told you about the
newspaper picture before because he didn't want to get your
hope set.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I know, he explained playing down here right away.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, I'm not sure that was a good idea, though,
I doubt very much. If there's anything you.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Do, I could if you do find Tom, if I
could just talk to him, maybe I could get him
to see that the only thing for him to do
was give himself up and return the money.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I wouldn't count on that, Johnny.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I had to come. He's still my husband. Yeah, George
Everson didn't go into details about the newspaper paper.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh. There was an article on New Orleans Jazz, one
of the New York papers a few days back. It
showed a bar scene a place called Ace's Castle, and
in the background, sitting at the bar with his face
turned away was a man George thought might be your husband.
So I came down here.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Now you have proof he's here, I think, So what
kind of proof? Johnny? Please tell me?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Okay, but I'm not sure you want to see it alone?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Well. Last night an ASA's Castle, a cacharricter named Freddy
quintannek contacted me. Told me he thought he had Tom Peg,
that he was going under the name of Tom.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
James James that's his middle name.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, the kind of alienas a lot of people use.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
That's not proof of anything I know.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Then Quintana showed me a letter he'd stolen from Tom's rum,
an unfinished letter. I checked it against the sample of
Tom's writing I'd brought with me. It books pretty genuine.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
What kind of letter do you know?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh? Please?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
May I see it?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You are.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Lola when you get this, I'll be far away.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Don't try to find me. It's better that way. Don't
know how to explain.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I'm sorry, that's Tom's writing, Johnny, Yeah, what happens now?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh, I'm supposed to meet Freddy quintana Ace's Castle down
on the quarter at ten o'clock tonight.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
I want to come with you, Please, Johnny.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Expense a count out. I'm eleven eight twenty dinner for Lundie.
She didn't say much during the meal. I guess there
wasn't much for it. Afterward, we started walking through the
quarter toward ASA's castle.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
It's interesting around here, Johnny.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh, yeah, the quarter hasn't changed much. You've been here
before a couple of years ago.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Funny, what is you in a job like this?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Why you?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
You just don't look like a person who spends most
of his time looking for a fugitives and criminals.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Seems like such a strange job for you.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Uh, that's a job.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Do you like it?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh? I don't know. Sometimes I like it a lot.
Sometimes I don't like it at all, Like now.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Not.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Thanks Jenny for what for feeling that way?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, I guess it's my turn to say funny what
about you're asking about? Well, Pop's Harker seemed to think
I was in the wrong job too. Pop's Harker, an
old fellow, plays trumpet Adasi's canceled. You'll hear him he's blind.
Oh yeah, that horn of his has to make up
for a lot.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
But why did he think You're in the wrong job?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Mostly because of the company. I sometimes have to keep
like Freddy Quintana.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Oh, I hate to see things we're got like this.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
What's that mean?
Speaker 5 (06:38):
I mean finding Tom this way through a cheap information
peddler like this, Quintana.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
If he'd only turn himself in.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm afraid that's a pretty remote possibility.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I know, he seems to have forgotten what sort of
a person he was.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
After arrest.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
He wouldn't even talk to.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Me about it.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
I guess he's fatten a lot of other things too.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
All right, come on, Lola, let's say sis castle right ahead.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Do you think Tom will be there?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I doubt it, Probably just Montana. But are you supposed
to tell me where your husband is hiding?
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Here?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
We are?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
That must be Pop's Tarker over there in the band
with the dark glass.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
That's him. Come on that corner table.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
This is the place in the newspaper picture.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Yes, I can believe Tom's been here.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
He loved this kind of music, bill.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Ice, Pops, how are you doing? Oh? Pretty good, Tony?
I thought you said he you recognize my voice? You
still mess around a mean one, daddy, Freddy Quintana. Have
to Pops, I'm not enjoying it particularly. You stick to
the good ones. Daddy, don't mess.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
With the battle ones gossip being about me pots Oh, Quintana,
Oh why you keep your face in that horn and
at other people's businessities, said Quintina.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, he's sure not the best.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Johnny, let me go with you at midnight.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I don't think that'll be a very good idea.
Speaker 4 (09:26):

Speaker 6 (09:29):
I guess I.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Just want to see him once more. I know it
won't do any good.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
After you take him, I probably won't see him again.
He wouldn't see me before, he probably won't afterwards.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But just to see him once more, I'd like to.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Go back to my hotel and rest.

Five minutes to twelve?

Okay, we'll wait. So we waited fifteen minutes, half an hour.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Do you think he was.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Just playing some sort of fiendish.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Joke on his journey.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I haven't stood on deals like this before, but though
I wasn't used to it, pretty soon the string got
a little too much for him.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Please, I can't stand this anymore.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Take me back to my hotel.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
So I did. Now I was right back where I
started from, with no leeds. I decided to go back
to wastes canceling. That's where the trailer's starting. I sat
there for a few minutes, nursing and drink. Then somebody
slid into the chair across from me. Janet, do that's right?

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Ah? What can I do for you? Lieutenant? How long

in here earlier? Yeah? What time you'd be a little
after ten? Why where did you go to see somebody
who didn't show up? Look, lieutenant, what's this all about?
You don't mind? Just answer the questions? Who was this?
Somebody went to see a character named Quentina. I was

long story. Look, here's my card. Lieutenant Joan's investigating you man,

her back to a hotel before I came back here again,

Go ahead, don take look. There were two policemen and
a photographer in the alley. Over near a doorway. I

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Lol On Please why just say I'm pretty foolish.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
I guess I.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Just want to see him once more. I know it
won't do any good.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
After you take him, I probably won't see him again.
He wouldn't see me before, he probably won't afterwards.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But just to see him once more, I'd like to.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Go back to my hotel and rest.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Now.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Please pick me up before you go to Queintana's.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Room, Johnny.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Okay, Lola, what if this is the address lell Gontana's
roaming outs?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
It's an awfully shabby place, that.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Perfect spot for Guintana. What time is it?
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Five minutes to twelve?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
All right, let's go in, remember right, let's see.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
So here it is mhm.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Okay, we one block.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
There is nobody here, Johnny, Well, we're a little ellie.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Okay, we'll wait. So we waited fifteen minutes, half an hour.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Do you think he was.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Just playing some sort of fiendish.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Joke on his journey.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I haven't stood on deals like this before, but though
I wasn't used to it, pretty soon the string got
a little too much for him.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Please, I can't stand this anymore.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Take me back to my hotel.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
So I did. Now I was right back where I
started from, with no leeds. I decided to go back
to wastes canceling. That's where the trailer's starting. I sat
there for a few minutes, nursing and drink. Then somebody
slid into the chair across from me. Janet, do that's right?
Are you Lieutenant Lafair, New Orleans?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Please?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Ah? What can I do for you? Lieutenant? How long
you been here, sir? A few minutes ago? Weren't you
in here earlier? Yeah? What time you'd be a little
after ten? Why where did you go to see somebody
who didn't show up? Look, lieutenant, what's this all about?
You don't mind? Just answer the questions? Who was this?
Somebody went to see a character named Quentina. I was
(11:54):
supposed to meet him in his room. Well you won't
see him back? Well, well that's a sort of a
long story. Look, here's my card. Lieutenant Joan's investigating you man,
Come with me, missed? Where two back? There was a
woman with you earlier? Yes, missus Lola Chase. I took
her back to a hotel before I came back here again,
(12:17):
and I see into the alley. What's this all about? Lieutenant?
Go ahead, don take look. There were two policemen and
a photographer in the alley. Over near a doorway. I
moved in close. A man was sprawled there, face up,
Freddy Quintana, and he didn't look me in a nasty anymore,
(12:39):
just real tired, real dead.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Now here's our star to tell you about the next
exciting episode of this story.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Somehow I managed to parlay a scrap of burnt paper
into a plane ticket for what almost turns out to
be a one way trip. Burnus. Won't you yours truly,
Johnny Dollar?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
