(01:42):

Insurance and Trust Company Home Office, Hartford, Conneticus. Following is
an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the
Wayward Killer matter extensive con I'd have one six twenty
seventh pair to New York and taxi from Grand Central
(02:03):
Station to wait King's Precinc Headquarters. Me forty. My old
fow doctor is Randy Singer. Lieutenant Randy Singer's full the
long face. No, I know my luck is running out,
Hire Randy, or what are you beefing about this side?
Any man as well? Sit down? I guess I'll say.
One of these insurance companies, who you levis alone might
(02:23):
handle things our own way. What do you mean a
minute one of their clients gets into a jam and
send somebody like you down the picture of something, Johnny,
there isn't a thing you can do about this man
welcome the company says something about his life singing danger. Yeah, yeah,
that's what he said. Well is it true, done it?
Why should his life him day, I don't drink it
should okay? Okay? Why does he think his life a
(02:45):
dance because he was a witness to his scooting a murder? Oh?
Where what you remember reading about the book? Who was still?
Last week? Over in an alley off the first avenue? Me?
You know anything about bookies? All right? Now? Did you
read about it or didn't? Yeah, don't tell me. A
whole league is gone by. We haven't out a killer.
We haven't found them, even with a witness of the crime,
(03:07):
as John Welton. Oh, Randy, you're slipping. Except for the
description mister Welton gave us we having a single solitary
thing to go on. No fingerprint, no, no, no clues
of any kind of a weapon. Thirty eight specs on
make unknown, the same one apparently that was used to
slug mister welkon. Just what happened? Right he and Suday
(03:28):
night last week that he laced At about two am,
Welton was taking his dog for a walk before going
to bed, and he passed this particular ally saw these
two men struggling. Hearty shot started his dogs coats let
out of yelp galloped around in circles, kind up his
legs in the leash and went the dog of Welton
(03:48):
welking and don't do funny, oh Jacob. Here a killer
came running out of the alley and stumbled over welkon
Well got a good look at him in the street light.
Dog pulled a hunk out of the killer's pants. Killer's
man's walking on my head and took off. The dog
kept the owling until the patrolman came around, found them
and found the booking in the alley dead. All I
(04:11):
want to know is what you think you can do
about it? No pos stept Welton DESCRITIONI to get him
a look at the mock books, yeah, and he came
up with nothing. You find a gun now? Ballistics said
it was a thirty eight to the GM tried looking
at the storm drains rather than look. Why does Welton
feel he's in danger? Because some fool reporter wrote it
(04:34):
up in Sunday's papers that Walton not only saw the
killers if he'd been trying to keep that quiet, but
that he could positively identify him. And when Welton tied
that up with the fact that the victim was a
book there, I see. I mean the possibility of a
connection with the syndicon, or if he didn't play ball
with the syndicate they decided to knock him off. It's
not only now, Johnny. We don't like to admit that
(04:55):
they might do it to just an operation. Oh sure,
there were the towns absolutely clean. No, all your handsome
ways in uniform has to do is much in the
Saint Patrick ja parade. And I had a welcome important
foreign dignitary as four smich apples off the fruit stands
over on tenth Avenue. Johnny exactly means that I think
Welton's right. Bookmaking is a racket. Rackets mean racketeers. And
(05:17):
as a mobster who killed that book, he was smart
enough to leave you no clues. He's smart enough to
shut them out of anybody who might be able to
identify him permanently.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
But you got a guard.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I'm welcome. He's that's the one, and the Mamboraine. What
does he live o'bern? He's just the third Tim Conroy
and the man I'm gonna send him that I just
reported him. Then tell Conray I'm going over there with him.
But Johnny, what for what can you possibly do that
we haven't done?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Mandy, I'm getting such a nice, big fat fee on this,
I have to at least look like I'm earning e conraight,
come on, come on, man, maybe I'll even solve them murder, Conrad,
get this wise guy out of here. Nice to see
you again. Yeah you do, now, Johnny doll And I
take them with you, take them anywhere, but get him
(06:03):
out of here. Yes, sir, he's currently you're being nasty
to me, Randy. John needs to help me. Yeah, it
was pretty obvious. Randy hadn't gotten anywhere in that case.
I'm believe it or not, but he was glad I'd
come along. The black job was so lead to protect
us to wealth, so and Conroy's proud. We drove over
(06:23):
to the little apartment bling on he fifty third drove
over to find a crowd knowing about in front of
them place robed included a.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Couple of New York plannings.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
When all Johnny come from happens here, I try to
scatter to think what it might be, Wilson.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I'm having around here a little lake.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Conroy, what's up? We don't just see him laying there
what is the officer man named Wilson John I Wels
(07:14):
Act two of your two, Lady Dotty Dollar in a moment.
Here is a method from the National Heart Institute of
the Public Health Service. It looks like an electronics control
board panel banked with leaders and switches. It is knee
high and six feet in length, surmounted by what appears
to be a cylindrical coil. Its price is comparable to
(07:35):
the cost of a new three bedroom home, but in
human lives saved and repaired, its value is limitless. This
is the heart lung machine. Its development has opened new
latitudes in heart surgery.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
In closed heart surgery, with a finger or an instrument
inside the beating hearts.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
The surgeon must go by feel alone. This closed method
has been.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
In use for many years, and for some conditions it
is still the method of choice. However, a great many
heart conditions cannot be corrected.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
By close heart surgery.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Only with the development of the heart lung machine has
correction of many of these conditions become possible. To day,
the surgeon can open up the heart, empty it entirely
of blood, and under direct visions, make unhurried repairs of
valves or other defects inside the hearts. Exactly what does
the heart lung machine do? Its purpose is to function
(08:32):
temporarily as a heart pump and to oxygenate the blood and.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Rid it of gaseous waste in surgery.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
After the heart has been exposed, classic tube from the
heart lung machine are inserted into the two great veins
that normally carry blood to the heart from the upper
and lower parts of the body.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Once the hookup is complete, blood death and four the
lungs is then cycled into the machine where it is
refreshed and returned to the system to another tube inserted
into the seminal arduus in. The drawing nor Your Heart
was written and produced by the National Heart Institute, one
of the National Institutes of Health of the Public Health Service,
(09:13):
United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, BC.
And now that's too if yours truly, Johnny Dollar, And
the way word killer matters, it looks until I got
there's too late. The man for whom I was supposed
(09:35):
to actor his BODYGUARDE lay sprawled awkwary on the sidewalk
in front of his department. Yeah that's mister Welson, now right,
Johnny looks like you and your insurance. Cody just lost
to cry. I get this proud back.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
He's still breathing.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Come on, get him back, get mad out, Get back
on here, get back in. Anybody back. We got one
on the way. Mister doll had half mccraty, you know.
Or some kids were playing on here on a sidewalk,
a couple of mothers with him. They heard a lot
of noise up mister Welton's apartment up there on the
second floor. What's kind of you see up there where
the windows? Dogs out of the frame. Yeah, I see
what's kind of annoying, like a big fight, they said,
(10:06):
and mister Walton yelling for help. He was yelling bloody murder,
they said. They hear anybody else, anything else. No, they're
not even the dog, It's true. Then all of a
sudden he comes smashing out through the window, lands here
on the sidewalk. Have you remembered them side, Yes, sir Wilson,
way there, come on, get back, take back of that eye.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Well they are, he said.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Mister Walton's place is an unholding man's.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Like a big fight, and he's signed to he a
failing no, sir, But.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
The door of his apartment was flung open. There was
a back door lead into a court in the alley. Yes, sir,
that's w Wilson told me that's the fire door. It
can be opened only from the inside. So it looks
like whoever did this to welc and made us get
away through the out and no doubt about it. Well
on I have to say, is I hope this man lives.
We'll soon find out. It comes stock straight up, doc
(10:52):
straight and made a quick inspection and had us take
working up the apartment on the second floor.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
He wasn't hurt crapping, no.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Bump the bro all right, So all right there, Matthew,
yes day, get HELLI for the quite frankly, mister Dollar,
I think that is shocked more than anything else. After
we're all thrown out of a window, even if he
did stuffer only a few bruises and confusion. Yeah, doctor
in church and downboy, m how long before I be
able to talk to him? Well, the servation I've given
(11:20):
him to keep him a sleep until there's a mid afternoon.
After that, you and your chief in question, or you
are my chief, aren't you working under Lieutenant Steers? Yeah?
Maybe I am Brandrew Singer himself came over and took
(11:40):
charge while John Welton slept. He and his men closed
off the alley and went over over to find his cane.
I mean while since Welton had all the police for
taking to get posibly need and then some, I went
on and grabbed the final lunch. That's that him two
and seventy five. Then I take a cab and I'm
three a dollar even to the alley on First Avenue.
Well Welson had witnessed the murdered the week before. Why
(12:00):
I don't know, I'm Joe Gland. I did, yeah, because
of a crew working on the street lights who came
up with some rather interesting information tell you what I
mean later and any event that led to write him
for a dime for a phone call. You know, a
fellow in my business has to have some rather strained contact.
(12:21):
My call was in one of them for a man
Lieutenant Randy Singer would have known by me at least
would probably have like to get his hands on or
one of the points would like you have had some
concrete evidence against or some for a number of things.
My contact name was Spokey Joe Sullivan, ex compostor, ex
food legging, burglary, suspect, numbers racket, a man who's been
(12:43):
picked up on more petty charges than you can propably
think of. Yeah, in a city with an underworld the
size of New York, a man like.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Smoky said to know on a station, this is Johnny Dollard.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
How would you like to pick.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Up a fans hundred bucks?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Depends? That's right. I know. I'll be standing in the
lobby of the hotel election and come on over and
see for yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Well, maybe it.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Will, maybe it won't. Any conference drop.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Oh, come on, Smoky, you don't be better than that. Yeah,
I'll see in the lobby's election. Maybe I'm five a
dollar ten for taxi over to the election where I
would in an hour, two hours, no kount of stuffing.
Then suddenly I realized, why so much have been somebody
(13:44):
important there in the hot self? We're outside of the
curve with a police guy with a man in the
uniform at the wheel. No wonder smoke, he hasn't showed it.
I found it out to third Avenue, signed around the block.
Sure enough, at the first news stand a figure that
has been hiding in a new stay with someone Stepitely.
What soci you go wrong. It's butt that copper is
hitting out front. Johnny, my little Smoky, I asked you
if you'd like to pick up a frant sino defend
(14:07):
Johnny an instant information? What kind of information, Johnny? Even
taking any bets on my voices like you guy has
to make honest buck now on me. Have you been
working through the synthicon? And Johnny, you know you're gonna
ask questions like that. But if the information I want
is in the books of the syndicature, you don't want
(14:29):
me to play school it. You know me better than that, Okay,
ask me questions. Yeah, it's me wa put you said
it's not to get the rest? Would you get the
dope for me?

Okay, so ahead ask me all right, I wanna know
how much want to get anyway, I may be playing
a lot, Okay, Johnny. If I find on anything you've
called me on a phone again, maybe three thirty four
(15:09):
clocks and Smoky. Yeah, if there is such information he
there and you get it, maybe I'll double year. Okay, Johnny,
(15:29):
fact three of yours truly, Johnny Dollar In a moment,
times have changed, and so has the man Fabius Rode
in the year eighteen hundred and sixty one organize what
has been considered the first airborne reconnaissance units of the
United States Army. His class are balloon, which was in
constant use during the Battle of Richmond, making observation every susteinement.
(15:53):
But because of the balloon's limited maneuverability and extreme vulnerability,
military thinking and tests food switched to the heavier than
aircraft experiments being conducted by the rich Brothers at Kittyhawk,
North Carolina. Finally, nineteen hundred and nine, the Army accepted
the reich Brothers forty two and one half mile per
(16:14):
hour aircraft. Contrast this with the faster than sound aircraft.
The supersonic speed of our modern plane contrasts the skills
the technological nohow the modern airmans with that of the pioneers.
You will agree, I'm sure that times have changed, and
(16:34):
so has the man. And now Act three of your
trully Johnny Dollar and the Wayward Killer matter like print

(18:52):
trying to defend me. You say that killer struck you, Welco.
He did, but he made no more to hurt the dogs. Well,
I believe me, that doesn't make sense. He would have
put a fuller than him even before he stuck you. Now,
this is all about this soil clall fight hear in
your apartment a couple of hours ago. Who was the
same man? Yeah? And did the dog attempt to fight
him off? No, because there was nobody for him to fight.
(19:13):
You think he wouldn't have been heard down on the
street if somebody really clombed you. Well, you faked this
attack on you, Welton, to make it look like the
killer with somebody else too bad you didn't break your
neck when you jumped out that window, or you don't
know what you're talking another thing, and.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
This is where you missed a bet.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Randy. Yeah, over on First Avenue, I checked with a
crew from the electric company. They finally got around to
fixing that street light. Huh yeah, that light's sent up
for nearly three weeks. So how could Welton have seen
another man in that alley well enough to make a
positive identify? Listen Dullar set up Weldon in my phone

(19:50):
booky he murdered to the tune of twenty three thousand bucks,

I hadn't killed him, you m breaks my aunt, Johnny.
But thanks, okay, Welton up on your feet, madam. Seven
