Speaker 1 (00:01):
From Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's time now, Paul, Johnny Dellen, this is Barry Winters
at Master's Insurance and Trust.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Oh hi, barrs sure, Johnny, because.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We don't usually have trouble with our accounts.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
You mean you didn't huh until now?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well, yeah, I'm afraid that's about the size of it,
and this time it's bad. Trouble me all Simplex Tackle
Company Johnny over in Danburray Fishing Tackle that's right. Oh,
I'll come. I never heard of them. Well, they're a
small outfit to kind of glorified partnership. What's that mean?
What's owned by nine men? One of them Hanley Thomas's president.
(00:38):
The others are secretary, treasurer and a flock of vice president.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So what's happened?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
The nine of them, plus the twenty or thirty workers
of the plant are all covered by a group life
insurance deal. And listen, yeah, we've just had to pay
off on three policies in a row.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Well that's too bad. But why call on me?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Because Johnny, those three deaths were all murders. Bob Bailey
in the Exciting Adventures of the Man with the Action
Packed Expense Accout America's fabulous Freeliance Insurance Investigators.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Truly Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And now act one of yours, Truly Johnny Dollar. Expense
accounts of itted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, the Master's
(01:41):
Insurance and Trust Company Home Office, Hartford, Connecticut, following us
an account of expenses incurage during my investigation of the
ugly pattern matter expense account and a want a dollar
even taxi the very Winner's office at Masters, where I
hope he could give me some more to work on
than he had over the fawn. And you know something,
(02:03):
as it turned out, he gave me a lot more
than he thought he did. The police, Sure, they've been
working on these murders, Johnny, but they haven't come up
with anything except the theory that one man is behind
them all. Why very, because the victims have all been
members of the Simplex Tackle Company. Well, but because they've
all occurred within a month, because each of them occurred
on a Wednesday pattern. Huh, that's right? And also, Johnny,
(02:27):
because there's been no apparent reason for any of them.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Have the police found anything? Nothing? Same kind of weapon
used in each case. No.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
The first was a VP named Adams run over by
a car. Sure, it was an accidental. The police say no.
The second John Bowers was strangled and Frank Dalvers was
shot in his own home.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
There, I mean in the way they occurred.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Apparently not, but Hanley Thomas and the police don't agree.
Thomas is president of Simplex, you said, and a real
financial wizard, used to be a promoter. Not much ethics,
but a sharp businessman. As a friend or a partner,
I imagine he's well, he's a fine man. Here, I'll
give you a complete list of the officers of the company,
(03:11):
their rank and their salary. Well, I don't know exactly
what good that'll.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Hear you are, and this is a list of the employees.
Those employees.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Alvin Cheka, Sergeant Dennis over there at homicide made quite
a point of it, so did mister Thomas. Well why
don't I run over there and talk with him and
to the Danbury police. I think you'd better, And Johnny,
the sooner the better. Why do you say that the pattern?
There are still six officers left in that company, That
is six who are still alive. Item two another buck
(03:43):
for a cab back to my apartment. There, I picked
up my own car and from here on end the
charge will be for mileage except for Adam three four
and a quarter for tank of mobile gas. It was
almost noom by the time I'd covered the sixty yard
miles of the simplex factory on the far edge of
Danbury Eyes. Was quite a plant, new and modern in
every way. A receptionist took my card and a few
(04:05):
minutes later I was ushered into the office and Handley
Thomas president, Oh, this is a terrible thing. Adams, Bowers,
Frank Dowvers all within.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
A few weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Barry Winters back in Hartford, seems to think these murders
have all been the work of one man.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Police, and I concur in that theory.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
There's been a sort of pattern followed by the crazy killer,
but not an actual method. Mister Thomas, Oh no, I'll
grant you that's true. Car accident, strangling, pistol shot. But
they were done by someone who must have been very
permidted with his victims.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
How do you mean, someone who knew, for instance.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
That Van Adams took a long walk alone each night,
he knew the route that he took. Same thing applanted
the second victim, John Bowers, always drove to work through
a little woods. It was there, he was stopped and strangled.
Frank Doalvers always stayed at home alone on Wednesday nights
while his wife was out playing bridge.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Someone broke in on him. Huh had the police checked in?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, it was someone he must have let in. In
other words, someone he knew. That's a possibility. I suppose
I understand you've checked on all your employees, Yes, right
off the bat, as much as we, or rather as
much as the police could. Any particular reason to suspect
one of them, well, only because they were all in
position to know these men pretty well, know their habits.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
We're a small company, mister Dollar.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Our employees, including the girls in the office, only number
twenty one. That was your only reason to think one
of them may have done it. Oh, of course, we've
had our share of labor troubles, a few dissidents in
the ranks, so to speak. I suppose some of them
resent the rather top heavy management here. You mean the
fact there are nine executives to only twenty one employees. Yes,
and I must confess the profits have been pretty good lately.
(05:41):
Barry Winters gave me a list of here it is
now according to this, all of these.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What is it, mister Dollar. Well, I got thinking on
the way over here.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, part of the pattern you mentioned the three men
were killed in well in alphabetical order.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Why yes, Adams, Bowers, Dalvers.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Now that I look at this list again, of course
the pattern again, No, No, I think that was just coincidence.
The pattern, if there is one, is based on their
order of rank. That is, if these salary figures mean anything,
I'm not sure I understand.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Look, first, was Adams at the lowest salary among you officers? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yes, Adams received twelve a year.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, Look, Bowers came in next to thirteen to five.
You're right, and Frank Dalvers earned fifteen thousands. So if
this pattern should continue, you mean to say you think
there might be more of these murders. If this pattern continues,
the next to go would be could him would be
James Williams or Charles Hart, both earning sixteen five Then
(06:46):
a couple more than you, mister Thomas, Mister Dollard, Well,
I find James Williams. Well, Williams is on vacation the
little place not far from here, Parvin's Palm. Why did
he leave last week on Monday? Have you heard from him? No, no,
I haven't been, of course, if the alphabetical pattern is
the right theory.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh excuse me, yes, Sergeant Dennis munch of Thomas.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's a sergeant that homicide mister Dollar Holophone Wady Thomas.
Uh yes, sergeant, I'm afraid I have some bad news
by him. Oh how the one of your partners Williams,
mister John Williams. Yes, discovered his body over at Parvin's
Pond this morning. He's been murdered. Good lord, fact two
(07:44):
of yours, truly Johnny Dollar in a moment and now
for another episode in the life of Sergeant Donald Bell
within my husband.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's what I call a good dinner. Oh that was delicious. Well,
I'm glad to hear that, dear well coffee. Uh yeah,
but I half a couple of ye thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, tell me all about your safety class. Did the
boys enjoy your speech?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh yeah, he sure did, thanks to you.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I did quite well, my lieutenant complimented me after we're Yeah,
but that same lieutenant threw me a curve too.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
How did well?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
After I gave my talk, he asked the man if
there were any questions. Well, I did it, but one
of the guys stood up and said said, look, sarge,
you claim they were over ninety five thousand deaths and
over nine and a half million people injured in accidents
in the US last year. It looks to me like
all those safety campaigns and slogans are doing no good
(08:50):
at all.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
How did answer?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I couldn't think of an answer.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I got out of it by saying I'd have more
facts and figures at the next meeting.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Let's see now, oh, now here it is now first,
Sergeant Bellweather.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You start off by telling the.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Boys that since nineteen hundred and thirteen, the accidental death
rate has been reduced thirty five percent, or, in other words,
if there hadn't been campaigns and safety measures put into
effect to reduce accidents, almost a million more people would
have been killed in the last forty six years.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It certainly is.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I'm reading it right out of the National Safety Council
record books. Oh and another thing, accidents in the farming
areas are much higher than in the city. But do
you know why.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Why Because in.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Rural areas there are fewer policemen enforcing safety laws and
less traffic.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Signs and signals to guide the motorists.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
You know, many more cars travel the city street, and
yet the per capita rate of accidents is much higher
in the rural areas.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Of course, the reason is obvious.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
In the city, more safety measures are in executed and obeyed.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Real you are wonderful, and that's a good logical answer.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I don't know what i'd do with that. Ah, that's
my Donald, that's my doll.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And now act two of yours, truly Johnny Dollar and
the ugly pattern matter, another of the executives of the
Simplex Tackle Company murdered bludgend to death and his little
vacation cabin on Parvin's Pond some forty miles north of Danbury.
(10:42):
And again it was according to pattern. How those carefree
kids can fish and water ski out there when there's
been a murder right under their noses.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yes, Sergeant, I know what you mean this the mister
Williams was using.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yes, sir, he came up here on his vacation Monday
morning last week alone. Now we are who knew he
was coming to this particular spot, Sergeant.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Why everybody down at the planet.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I guess now the way the doc and I figured
it out, mister Williams had just come in from fishing.
Now you see there, he just tossed his riding stringer
on the bed. Everything's just the way it was, except
for his body. That's in Danbury at the corners. You
said he was bludgeoned with that ore.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
From his rowboat. You see it laying there on the floor.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, I see. Who found his body? Little old lady
from the cabin next door. She'd stop by this morning
to bring him some cookies. Knocked on the door, The
door swung open, and there he was. And the doc
says the body was lying there.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Ever since? Have you checked that ore? For prince? A
killer must have used gloves. What about footprints?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, if there were any, The vacation crowd tramped him
out long before we got here. Now, the way we
figure is that he came in here Wednesday night off
the lake. Wednesday, Yes, mister Dollar, just like the other ones,
it happened on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
We could go tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The pattern again, yes, sir, And if you ask me,
it's the pattern of a man man and this being
a Tuesday, and what possible motive could there be for it?
And he asked me, it's one of the employees. They're
at the plant after all for such a small company,
nine big money making officers.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
At least there was nine.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, I know what you mean. Are those twenty one
employees paid pretty well?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Nope, in spite of the company making a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
What with this recession, we're on rate the science man,
most of the so called recessions a lot of bump.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Everybody get out and dig instead of sitting around hoarding
their money. Well, what I was going to say is
that those executives took advantage and held down wages in
spite of all the money they're making. So just let
one crazy hothead find out how good they're doing. How
well have you checked those employees? The best we could.
I talked with every one of them myself. How about
the officers of the company. There's not one of them
(12:47):
would do a thing like that. They're all fine men,
asked mister Thomas. Sure, they're hard headed businessmen, everyone looking
out for himself. But they're all fine men, and they're
all making plenty of money. Oh, which reminds me, what's that,
mister dollar. A list of the officers and their salaries,
and according to this, if there's to be another victim, mother,
(13:09):
no I've worked down another step in the pattern of
these murders based on the earnings of these men.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Then, mister Dollar, who will be it? Won't be anybody
if I can help it.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
But Sergeant I may have to ask you to put
a twenty four hour watch over an officer of that
company named mister Charles Hart. I didn't bother explaining my
own idea the pattern to Sergeant Dennis.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
After all, my theory could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But I drove back to the Simplex factory, to the
office of Charles Hart.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I found only a secretary there.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
No, he isn't here, mister Dollah. He be perfectly honest
about it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Hasn't he been in at all today?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
No, sir, hasn't been in since about last.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Wedda looks whatever your name is. Have you called his
home his wife.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
He's a bachelor, mister Dollar, and lives in a little
apartment and Dan Breth.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Have you tried to call him?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Well, No, sir, you see there was.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Mister Thomas know about his not being here.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
There's nothing unusual about Charlie's leaving without telling us, mister Thomas.
To Thomas, he often goes off on sales trips like this.
He was last seen the day mister Williams was killed. Well,
surely you don't think Charlie Hart had anything to do
with Jim Williams being Oh no, did you find out anything.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Over Parvin's pond? No, not much. I'm afraid.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Could this Charlie Hard have had any reason for wanting
Williams out of the organization and Adams and Bowers and Dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Of course not. Yes, yes he could. What miss Gregg,
what do you mean by that?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Mister Hart was the one who built up this company,
the one who developed the products, but all his money
and now just to he's the one who sold all
the product that made all the money. He and mister
Adams were the ones who started the business.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Is that true, mister Thomas? Yes, of course.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
And when mister Thomas and his relatives came along, Miss.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Gregg, what she says is true, mister Dollar.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Charlie Hart and Ben Adams did art this business. They
took on a couple of partners, Al Bauers and Frank Dalvers.
They were the ones who decided on the expansion program,
who came to us for the financing.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
The other's gone.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
It should have been mister Hart's company.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Our financing made this present operation possible. But to imply
that Charlie could have been driven by jealousy or whoever,
any other motive to commit these crimes.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
That's absurd. How could you suggest such a thing, Miss Gregg.
I didn't say he did it. I only try to
know what you said, and you've said enough. Tell me
one thing, mister Thomas.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yes, what happens to his share of the business when
one of the partners dies or in this case, when
he's murdered.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well, you know, the partners absorb his share.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Then if Charlie Hart eliminated one of you, it would
add to his holdings.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That's true. Okay, I'll see you later. Mister Donery.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
If you believe for one moment that Charlie Hart, why
I've known him for a year. Yeah, well, I think
I want to know him a little better. Act three
of yours, truly, Johnny Dallar in a moment. Do you
know who said democracy is based upon the conviction that
(16:09):
there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people. Those words came
from the American religious leader Harry Emerson Fostik. From the
earliest days of the United States of America, there has
been the sentiment that the average person can achieve an
important goal if he has given an environment in which
(16:29):
he can develop his capabilities to the fullest extent, an
environment in which the individual is given the rights and
privileges that he needs for development. It is the duty
of every American to protect and stimulate this environment. Remember
the words of Harry Emerson Fostik. They are part of
your American heritage. The extraordinary possibilities of ordinary people are
(16:54):
inherent in American democracy. And now act free of yours, truly,
Johnny Dollar and the ugly pattern matters. It was pretty
plain that Charlie Hart, supposedly next on the list of victims,
had plenty of motive for eliminating some of his partners
in the Simplex Tackle Company. I guess the same apply
(17:17):
to any other member of the company. But he, having
started the business, knew all about the others, their plans,
their habits, and he'd been last seen just prior to
the murder of James Woodiams. I got his address, hopped
into my car and drove back to Danbury. But ringing
his bell and powning on his door got me nothing.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Here, young man, you want mister Hart to publify them
to the fact.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Are you the building superintendent? And I want you to
let me into mister Hart's apartment? Were all right, here
you are my condentials. I'm an insurance investigator investigation yeah,
yeh see Johnny dollars. Sure, and if that isn't enough,
here's a five spot via trouble.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Ten where but now okay? That thanks? Mm hmmm mmmm.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Anyway, h m hm hmm. The same list that I
got for the office. Huh the officers over our company,
mister Hutt. That's right, Charlie should have looked behind the
door and you barged in here.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, well, look, would you like to point that thing
the other way? Please?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I'm sorry, mister Dollar, of course. Well you know who
I am. Yes, yes, I heard you through the door.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
All right. Is that the gun that killed one of
your partners.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That killed one of them? No, but listen, tomorrow's another Wednesday. Wednesday,
mister do I know? Look look at that blister you're holding.
I finally realized the progression in which these murders are happening. Oh,
on the basis of our salaries at the company, Adam's Bowers,
Dolvers and Williams are me. Yes, you've circled William's name. Yes,
(19:07):
because he got it last week. That's why I'm staying
in here, locked in because tomorrow the killer strikes again,
that crazy maniac killer maybe, or maybe that's what he
like everyone to think.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Charlie.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
A couple of questions, anything, anything, if I can help
you stop this.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
That company was once yours.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yes, that's right. You're the boss, the head man until
Hanley Thomas came along. Yes, Hanley and his brothers and
his brother in law, and they took over as first
in rank.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
But they were entitled to Della. What was there?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Money made the company what it is. I'm not an administrator,
a man who knows and plays all the angle time.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I'm just a worker in a sale.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Time a minute, you mean you you're content with the
president set up. Yes, yes, of course, in spite of
the prodding of a sweet old secretary who thinks that wait.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
A minute, these murders, mister, you stay put, keep.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That gonna, don't move out of this apartment until I
tell you to, no matter who comes to the door
to save your life. You think you know, Kelly, it's
been right on of my nose the obvious, almost too obvious.
But I had no proof of anything, only a hunch,
but a potent one.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So how to prove it out? Bluff? It might work
if I was right.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I drove into police headquarters and pick up Sergeant Dennis,
then out for the Simplex Tackle Company. But when I
walked in it was after hours, no secretaries about. When
I walked into the office, I borrowed the sergeant's handcuffs
and made him wait outside as ear grew to the door. Well,
mister Dollar, I didn't expect you backsuits. What are the
handcuffs me? They mean arrest for the murder of your partners.
(20:42):
That's a very bad joke, you and your brothers and
brother in law, the whole company of yours, once you
got rid of the men who started it, who made
it possible for your capital and make it pay off.
But tell me, well, you're gonna kill off your relatives
to one by one. This is the most absurd pombout
your tracks. Pretty well perfect crimes except for that you
used to kill Williams. Fingerprints as big as life all
(21:03):
over it impossible. I figured the gloves you wore must
have had holes in them, or have been worn very thin.
What that you just didn't notice in the excitement of
the moment. And when I finally found those gloves, you've
been out to my home. Ran second, my own wife
confessed that you weren't at home at the time of any.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Of the murders that July. She helped me plan the
whole thing.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Oh, then you admit the murders after my bluff about
the fingerprints. I see, But now that you know, you
haven't had time to tell anyone.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, there's no one around to hear the shot, mister dollar.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Oh but I heard a real clean impression mister Thomas.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Sergeant.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
No, No, that was just to protect myself from this time.
I'm afraid that kind of talks a little late. No, no,
it is, sergeant. I haven't seen that fast draw except
on TV.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
That's where I learned it.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
There'll be a lot for the courts to work on
about who else was involved with Thomas. The sergeant's bullet
killed him, by the way, and I'd call it good
riddance or at least quick justice. So expense account total,
including a lot of miles on my car one hundred
and one dollars, even remarks why bother yours Truly Johnny Dollar.
(22:43):
Yours Truly Johnny Dollar is starring Bob Bailey, originates in
the Hollywood and it is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone,
who also.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Wrote today's story.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Heard in our cast were Virginia, greg lest Permaine fororce Lewis,
heard Viagrant, Junius Matthews and Frank Gerstoll.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Be sure to join us next week.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Or another exciting story of yours, Wily Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
This is Boy Roland speaking. Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Has come to you through the worldwide facilities of the
United States Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.
From Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's time now, Paul, Johnny Dellen, this is Barry Winters
at Master's Insurance and Trust.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Oh hi, barrs sure, Johnny, because.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We don't usually have trouble with our accounts.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
You mean you didn't huh until now?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well, yeah, I'm afraid that's about the size of it,
and this time it's bad. Trouble me all Simplex Tackle
Company Johnny over in Danburray Fishing Tackle that's right. Oh,
I'll come. I never heard of them. Well, they're a
small outfit to kind of glorified partnership. What's that mean?
What's owned by nine men? One of them Hanley Thomas's president.
(00:38):
The others are secretary, treasurer and a flock of vice president.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So what's happened?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
The nine of them, plus the twenty or thirty workers
of the plant are all covered by a group life
insurance deal. And listen, yeah, we've just had to pay
off on three policies in a row.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Well that's too bad. But why call on me?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Because Johnny, those three deaths were all murders. Bob Bailey
in the Exciting Adventures of the Man with the Action
Packed Expense Accout America's fabulous Freeliance Insurance Investigators.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Truly Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And now act one of yours, Truly Johnny Dollar. Expense
accounts of itted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, the Master's
(01:41):
Insurance and Trust Company Home Office, Hartford, Connecticut, following us
an account of expenses incurage during my investigation of the
ugly pattern matter expense account and a want a dollar
even taxi the very Winner's office at Masters, where I
hope he could give me some more to work on
than he had over the fawn. And you know something,
(02:03):
as it turned out, he gave me a lot more
than he thought he did. The police, Sure, they've been
working on these murders, Johnny, but they haven't come up
with anything except the theory that one man is behind
them all. Why very, because the victims have all been
members of the Simplex Tackle Company. Well, but because they've
all occurred within a month, because each of them occurred
on a Wednesday pattern. Huh, that's right? And also, Johnny,
(02:27):
because there's been no apparent reason for any of them.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Have the police found anything? Nothing? Same kind of weapon
used in each case. No.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
The first was a VP named Adams run over by
a car. Sure, it was an accidental. The police say no.
The second John Bowers was strangled and Frank Dalvers was
shot in his own home.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
There, I mean in the way they occurred.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Apparently not, but Hanley Thomas and the police don't agree.
Thomas is president of Simplex, you said, and a real
financial wizard, used to be a promoter. Not much ethics,
but a sharp businessman. As a friend or a partner,
I imagine he's well, he's a fine man. Here, I'll
give you a complete list of the officers of the company,
(03:11):
their rank and their salary. Well, I don't know exactly
what good that'll.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Hear you are, and this is a list of the employees.
Those employees.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Alvin Cheka, Sergeant Dennis over there at homicide made quite
a point of it, so did mister Thomas. Well why
don't I run over there and talk with him and
to the Danbury police. I think you'd better, And Johnny,
the sooner the better. Why do you say that the pattern?
There are still six officers left in that company, That
is six who are still alive. Item two another buck
(03:43):
for a cab back to my apartment. There, I picked
up my own car and from here on end the
charge will be for mileage except for Adam three four
and a quarter for tank of mobile gas. It was
almost noom by the time I'd covered the sixty yard
miles of the simplex factory on the far edge of
Danbury Eyes. Was quite a plant, new and modern in
every way. A receptionist took my card and a few
(04:05):
minutes later I was ushered into the office and Handley
Thomas president, Oh, this is a terrible thing. Adams, Bowers,
Frank Dowvers all within.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
A few weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Barry Winters back in Hartford, seems to think these murders
have all been the work of one man.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Police, and I concur in that theory.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
There's been a sort of pattern followed by the crazy killer,
but not an actual method. Mister Thomas, Oh no, I'll
grant you that's true. Car accident, strangling, pistol shot. But
they were done by someone who must have been very
permidted with his victims.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
How do you mean, someone who knew, for instance.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
That Van Adams took a long walk alone each night,
he knew the route that he took. Same thing applanted
the second victim, John Bowers, always drove to work through
a little woods. It was there, he was stopped and strangled.
Frank Doalvers always stayed at home alone on Wednesday nights
while his wife was out playing bridge.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Someone broke in on him. Huh had the police checked in?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, it was someone he must have let in. In
other words, someone he knew. That's a possibility. I suppose
I understand you've checked on all your employees, Yes, right
off the bat, as much as we, or rather as
much as the police could. Any particular reason to suspect
one of them, well, only because they were all in
position to know these men pretty well, know their habits.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
We're a small company, mister Dollar.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Our employees, including the girls in the office, only number
twenty one. That was your only reason to think one
of them may have done it. Oh, of course, we've
had our share of labor troubles, a few dissidents in
the ranks, so to speak. I suppose some of them
resent the rather top heavy management here. You mean the
fact there are nine executives to only twenty one employees. Yes,
and I must confess the profits have been pretty good lately.
(05:41):
Barry Winters gave me a list of here it is
now according to this, all of these.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What is it, mister Dollar. Well, I got thinking on
the way over here.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, part of the pattern you mentioned the three men
were killed in well in alphabetical order.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Why yes, Adams, Bowers, Dalvers.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Now that I look at this list again, of course
the pattern again, No, No, I think that was just coincidence.
The pattern, if there is one, is based on their
order of rank. That is, if these salary figures mean anything,
I'm not sure I understand.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Look, first, was Adams at the lowest salary among you officers? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yes, Adams received twelve a year.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, Look, Bowers came in next to thirteen to five.
You're right, and Frank Dalvers earned fifteen thousands. So if
this pattern should continue, you mean to say you think
there might be more of these murders. If this pattern continues,
the next to go would be could him would be
James Williams or Charles Hart, both earning sixteen five Then
(06:46):
a couple more than you, mister Thomas, Mister Dollard, Well,
I find James Williams. Well, Williams is on vacation the
little place not far from here, Parvin's Palm. Why did
he leave last week on Monday? Have you heard from him? No, no,
I haven't been, of course, if the alphabetical pattern is
the right theory.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh excuse me, yes, Sergeant Dennis munch of Thomas.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's a sergeant that homicide mister Dollar Holophone Wady Thomas.
Uh yes, sergeant, I'm afraid I have some bad news
by him. Oh how the one of your partners Williams,
mister John Williams. Yes, discovered his body over at Parvin's
Pond this morning. He's been murdered. Good lord, fact two
(07:44):
of yours, truly Johnny Dollar in a moment and now
for another episode in the life of Sergeant Donald Bell
within my husband.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's what I call a good dinner. Oh that was delicious. Well,
I'm glad to hear that, dear well coffee. Uh yeah,
but I half a couple of ye thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, tell me all about your safety class. Did the
boys enjoy your speech?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh yeah, he sure did, thanks to you.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I did quite well, my lieutenant complimented me after we're Yeah,
but that same lieutenant threw me a curve too.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
How did well?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
After I gave my talk, he asked the man if
there were any questions. Well, I did it, but one
of the guys stood up and said said, look, sarge,
you claim they were over ninety five thousand deaths and
over nine and a half million people injured in accidents
in the US last year. It looks to me like
all those safety campaigns and slogans are doing no good
(08:50):
at all.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
How did answer?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I couldn't think of an answer.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I got out of it by saying I'd have more
facts and figures at the next meeting.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Let's see now, oh, now here it is now first,
Sergeant Bellweather.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You start off by telling the.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Boys that since nineteen hundred and thirteen, the accidental death
rate has been reduced thirty five percent, or, in other words,
if there hadn't been campaigns and safety measures put into
effect to reduce accidents, almost a million more people would
have been killed in the last forty six years.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It certainly is.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I'm reading it right out of the National Safety Council
record books. Oh and another thing, accidents in the farming
areas are much higher than in the city. But do
you know why.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Why Because in.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Rural areas there are fewer policemen enforcing safety laws and
less traffic.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Signs and signals to guide the motorists.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
You know, many more cars travel the city street, and
yet the per capita rate of accidents is much higher
in the rural areas.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Of course, the reason is obvious.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
In the city, more safety measures are in executed and obeyed.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Real you are wonderful, and that's a good logical answer.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I don't know what i'd do with that. Ah, that's
my Donald, that's my doll.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And now act two of yours, truly Johnny Dollar and
the ugly pattern matter, another of the executives of the
Simplex Tackle Company murdered bludgend to death and his little
vacation cabin on Parvin's Pond some forty miles north of Danbury.
(10:42):
And again it was according to pattern. How those carefree
kids can fish and water ski out there when there's
been a murder right under their noses.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yes, Sergeant, I know what you mean this the mister
Williams was using.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yes, sir, he came up here on his vacation Monday
morning last week alone. Now we are who knew he
was coming to this particular spot, Sergeant.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Why everybody down at the planet.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I guess now the way the doc and I figured
it out, mister Williams had just come in from fishing.
Now you see there, he just tossed his riding stringer
on the bed. Everything's just the way it was, except
for his body. That's in Danbury at the corners. You
said he was bludgeoned with that ore.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
From his rowboat. You see it laying there on the floor.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, I see. Who found his body? Little old lady
from the cabin next door. She'd stop by this morning
to bring him some cookies. Knocked on the door, The
door swung open, and there he was. And the doc
says the body was lying there.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Ever since? Have you checked that ore? For prince? A
killer must have used gloves. What about footprints?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, if there were any, The vacation crowd tramped him
out long before we got here. Now, the way we
figure is that he came in here Wednesday night off
the lake. Wednesday, Yes, mister Dollar, just like the other ones,
it happened on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
We could go tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The pattern again, yes, sir, And if you ask me,
it's the pattern of a man man and this being
a Tuesday, and what possible motive could there be for it?
And he asked me, it's one of the employees. They're
at the plant after all for such a small company,
nine big money making officers.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
At least there was nine.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, I know what you mean. Are those twenty one
employees paid pretty well?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Nope, in spite of the company making a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
What with this recession, we're on rate the science man,
most of the so called recessions a lot of bump.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Everybody get out and dig instead of sitting around hoarding
their money. Well, what I was going to say is
that those executives took advantage and held down wages in
spite of all the money they're making. So just let
one crazy hothead find out how good they're doing. How
well have you checked those employees? The best we could.
I talked with every one of them myself. How about
the officers of the company. There's not one of them
(12:47):
would do a thing like that. They're all fine men,
asked mister Thomas. Sure, they're hard headed businessmen, everyone looking
out for himself. But they're all fine men, and they're
all making plenty of money. Oh, which reminds me, what's that,
mister dollar. A list of the officers and their salaries,
and according to this, if there's to be another victim, mother,
(13:09):
no I've worked down another step in the pattern of
these murders based on the earnings of these men.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Then, mister Dollar, who will be it? Won't be anybody
if I can help it.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
But Sergeant I may have to ask you to put
a twenty four hour watch over an officer of that
company named mister Charles Hart. I didn't bother explaining my
own idea the pattern to Sergeant Dennis.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
After all, my theory could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But I drove back to the Simplex factory, to the
office of Charles Hart.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I found only a secretary there.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
No, he isn't here, mister Dollah. He be perfectly honest
about it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Hasn't he been in at all today?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
No, sir, hasn't been in since about last.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Wedda looks whatever your name is. Have you called his
home his wife.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
He's a bachelor, mister Dollar, and lives in a little
apartment and Dan Breth.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Have you tried to call him?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Well, No, sir, you see there was.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Mister Thomas know about his not being here.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
There's nothing unusual about Charlie's leaving without telling us, mister Thomas.
To Thomas, he often goes off on sales trips like this.
He was last seen the day mister Williams was killed. Well,
surely you don't think Charlie Hart had anything to do
with Jim Williams being Oh no, did you find out anything.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Over Parvin's pond? No, not much. I'm afraid.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Could this Charlie Hard have had any reason for wanting
Williams out of the organization and Adams and Bowers and Dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Of course not. Yes, yes he could. What miss Gregg,
what do you mean by that?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Mister Hart was the one who built up this company,
the one who developed the products, but all his money
and now just to he's the one who sold all
the product that made all the money. He and mister
Adams were the ones who started the business.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Is that true, mister Thomas? Yes, of course.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
And when mister Thomas and his relatives came along, Miss.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Gregg, what she says is true, mister Dollar.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Charlie Hart and Ben Adams did art this business. They
took on a couple of partners, Al Bauers and Frank Dalvers.
They were the ones who decided on the expansion program,
who came to us for the financing.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
The other's gone.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
It should have been mister Hart's company.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Our financing made this present operation possible. But to imply
that Charlie could have been driven by jealousy or whoever,
any other motive to commit these crimes.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
That's absurd. How could you suggest such a thing, Miss Gregg.
I didn't say he did it. I only try to
know what you said, and you've said enough. Tell me
one thing, mister Thomas.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yes, what happens to his share of the business when
one of the partners dies or in this case, when
he's murdered.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well, you know, the partners absorb his share.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Then if Charlie Hart eliminated one of you, it would
add to his holdings.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That's true. Okay, I'll see you later. Mister Donery.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
If you believe for one moment that Charlie Hart, why
I've known him for a year. Yeah, well, I think
I want to know him a little better. Act three
of yours, truly, Johnny Dallar in a moment. Do you
know who said democracy is based upon the conviction that
(16:09):
there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people. Those words came
from the American religious leader Harry Emerson Fostik. From the
earliest days of the United States of America, there has
been the sentiment that the average person can achieve an
important goal if he has given an environment in which
(16:29):
he can develop his capabilities to the fullest extent, an
environment in which the individual is given the rights and
privileges that he needs for development. It is the duty
of every American to protect and stimulate this environment. Remember
the words of Harry Emerson Fostik. They are part of
your American heritage. The extraordinary possibilities of ordinary people are
(16:54):
inherent in American democracy. And now act free of yours, truly,
Johnny Dollar and the ugly pattern matters. It was pretty
plain that Charlie Hart, supposedly next on the list of victims,
had plenty of motive for eliminating some of his partners
in the Simplex Tackle Company. I guess the same apply
(17:17):
to any other member of the company. But he, having
started the business, knew all about the others, their plans,
their habits, and he'd been last seen just prior to
the murder of James Woodiams. I got his address, hopped
into my car and drove back to Danbury. But ringing
his bell and powning on his door got me nothing.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Here, young man, you want mister Hart to publify them
to the fact.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Are you the building superintendent? And I want you to
let me into mister Hart's apartment? Were all right, here
you are my condentials. I'm an insurance investigator investigation yeah,
yeh see Johnny dollars. Sure, and if that isn't enough,
here's a five spot via trouble.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Ten where but now okay? That thanks? Mm hmmm mmmm.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Anyway, h m hm hmm. The same list that I
got for the office. Huh the officers over our company,
mister Hutt. That's right, Charlie should have looked behind the
door and you barged in here.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, well, look, would you like to point that thing
the other way? Please?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I'm sorry, mister Dollar, of course. Well you know who
I am. Yes, yes, I heard you through the door.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
All right. Is that the gun that killed one of
your partners.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That killed one of them? No, but listen, tomorrow's another Wednesday. Wednesday,
mister do I know? Look look at that blister you're holding.
I finally realized the progression in which these murders are happening. Oh,
on the basis of our salaries at the company, Adam's Bowers,
Dolvers and Williams are me. Yes, you've circled William's name. Yes,
(19:07):
because he got it last week. That's why I'm staying
in here, locked in because tomorrow the killer strikes again,
that crazy maniac killer maybe, or maybe that's what he
like everyone to think.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Charlie.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
A couple of questions, anything, anything, if I can help
you stop this.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
That company was once yours.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yes, that's right. You're the boss, the head man until
Hanley Thomas came along. Yes, Hanley and his brothers and
his brother in law, and they took over as first
in rank.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
But they were entitled to Della. What was there?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Money made the company what it is. I'm not an administrator,
a man who knows and plays all the angle time.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I'm just a worker in a sale.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Time a minute, you mean you you're content with the
president set up. Yes, yes, of course, in spite of
the prodding of a sweet old secretary who thinks that wait.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
A minute, these murders, mister, you stay put, keep.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That gonna, don't move out of this apartment until I
tell you to, no matter who comes to the door
to save your life. You think you know, Kelly, it's
been right on of my nose the obvious, almost too obvious.
But I had no proof of anything, only a hunch,
but a potent one.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So how to prove it out? Bluff? It might work
if I was right.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I drove into police headquarters and pick up Sergeant Dennis,
then out for the Simplex Tackle Company. But when I
walked in it was after hours, no secretaries about. When
I walked into the office, I borrowed the sergeant's handcuffs
and made him wait outside as ear grew to the door. Well,
mister Dollar, I didn't expect you backsuits. What are the
handcuffs me? They mean arrest for the murder of your partners.
(20:42):
That's a very bad joke, you and your brothers and
brother in law, the whole company of yours, once you
got rid of the men who started it, who made
it possible for your capital and make it pay off.
But tell me, well, you're gonna kill off your relatives
to one by one. This is the most absurd pombout
your tracks. Pretty well perfect crimes except for that you
used to kill Williams. Fingerprints as big as life all
(21:03):
over it impossible. I figured the gloves you wore must
have had holes in them, or have been worn very thin.
What that you just didn't notice in the excitement of
the moment. And when I finally found those gloves, you've
been out to my home. Ran second, my own wife
confessed that you weren't at home at the time of any.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Of the murders that July. She helped me plan the
whole thing.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Oh, then you admit the murders after my bluff about
the fingerprints. I see, But now that you know, you
haven't had time to tell anyone.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, there's no one around to hear the shot, mister dollar.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Oh but I heard a real clean impression mister Thomas.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Sergeant.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
No, No, that was just to protect myself from this time.
I'm afraid that kind of talks a little late. No, no,
it is, sergeant. I haven't seen that fast draw except
on TV.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
That's where I learned it.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
There'll be a lot for the courts to work on
about who else was involved with Thomas. The sergeant's bullet
killed him, by the way, and I'd call it good
riddance or at least quick justice. So expense account total,
including a lot of miles on my car one hundred
and one dollars, even remarks why bother yours Truly Johnny Dollar.
(22:43):

Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
