Speaker 1 (08:40):
Well that's the way it goes sometimes. And three hours
after Sergeant Steve Pulaski was killed after entering my apartments,
the cops were still busy on the scene. Maybe I
was being selfish, but I didn't care if they stayed
there for years.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
All right, Doc, you can move the body anytime you want.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You might if I take a peek first sergeant.

in here?
Speaker 9 (09:43):

great help.

how sorry I am about this. Coavid.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
If I had been here, you would have gotten it instead.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
And yeah, who do you know that loves you this much?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Offhand? I can't think of a soul.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Come on, might use your head. You must have annoyed
someone recently.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
The only one who comes to mind is mac McKenna
mc kenny. I was representing the insurance company in the
Advanced Jewelry shot stick up, And when Steve described the killer,
I thought of McKenna as a suspect. You'd think Mac Howe,
by mental telepathy, he got him tucked away saving sound.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Oh yeah, same.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Oh, by the way, here's all the stuff we found
on the party, some collection, a bill fold at eight bucks,
a badge, a service revolver in a para.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Baseless, Mmm very much.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And I wish some of those newspaper boys would keep
the affing about crooked cops could see this. What did
Steve want to see you about?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Don if I know he's always met quarters. This morning
is set up to date.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Any idea what it was?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
No, he didn't want to discuss it on the phone.
I got a hunch was personal.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That reminds me somebody's got to break the news.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
To missus KLASKI you mean Steve was married just a
month ago. Well, who's gonna tell her? You and I'll listen.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Call on, Mike.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
It's the least you can do.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
After all, that bullet was intended for you. Okay, sergeant,
but I'd rather stop that slug than do this. You
got a feeling this will be just as bad. Woo
(11:28):
it just a second, missus Pulaski. Yes, my name is
Mike Wearing. Oh of course, just deep open speak.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So if you want to kill you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I'm deed it home right now. But I said Tom
any minute.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I suppose I could apologize because I looked at this place.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh, I guess I'm not much of a house.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
While I put I'll love you. Sure you will look
at me acting away? I pray you let me take
your coat? Oh please please don't think I can't stay long.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Right and wait to see.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well, he'd be open disappointed if you missed you. Look,
missus Pulaski, there's something I gotta tell you. Has got
to understand. Steve was a cop and in his business.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
What do you mean Steve was a top?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
You're better sit down?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
What happened to him? Look, missus Pulaski, Well is that it.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yes, where is he?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I gotta see him?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You can't do you need a t I know, but
you see what are you trying.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
To tell me.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
He's dead?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
No, no, I don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You can't be It was my fault indirectly, you see,
the killer was trying to get me. Now, missus Pulaski,
you've got to be braved. Steve would want you to be.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I never wanted to be a cop.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
He couldn't have been anything else. He was cut out
for the job and he liked it. Can I get
you any if it makes you feel any better? I
promise you I'm going to get the responsible party.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Well that brings see back.
Speaker 1 (12:58):

You wait it leave me alone?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
More coffee, Mike, No, I had enough? Well, how to
go real bad? You know if missus Pulaski has any relatives, No, not,
as far as I know.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I wonder what she's gonna do.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
She doesn't look like a girl.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
As used to working well with thieves, insurance and the
money from the police pension.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Fun like she'll do all right, I hope.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So to help me COVID. If it's the last thing
I do, I'm gonna get him if I don't get
him first.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Wait a minute, why are we saying him?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Huh? We we keep refering to the killer is a hymn?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Couldn't it be a woman?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You want to know?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
To her or him?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Was after you?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Can you think of any game you lout step recently?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
What about my Kenna's wife?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And as I recall, she was very devoted to Max,
so she might feel I was responsible for putting him
away and this could be her way of balancing the boat.
All you're not well, there's one way to find out.
I'm going up to see her. I'll let you know
how I manage. Yeah, missus McKenna, that's right, I'd like
(14:33):

I used the fire escape.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I'd put you in my bedroom.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
No, you promised me.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I promised.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Julie seems to cooperate, but you're not. Now how did
you get into my apartment. I told you to the
fire escape that leads to the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
He got me mixed up. I meant the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
What about the window there?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, it was open or it wasn't. I distinctly remember
shutting it before I left. I want to see that. Well,
what do you say, Mike? H okay?
Speaker 8 (16:25):
Well, let's take missus McKenna down and see her husband
and then lock her up.
Speaker 2 (16:28):

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Can you beat that?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
He needs it?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah, she's real mad for the guy. Listen, Cartlett, want
you to do me a favor? Release her? You not,
You don't have to worry. She won't skip. Mac will
hold her here like a magnet.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
What's the idea.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I don't think she's telling the truth. Something about her
confession that bothered.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
No, you won't be satisfied till she kills you.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Well, then you can say I told you so? What
do you say?
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Covid?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Would you play along with my hunch?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (16:57):
But if it doesn't pay off, I'll eat your heart
a little chili saw I said, I'd be real tasty.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yes, missus Pulaski, Yes, this is Mike wearing. How do
you feel? How do you think I feel? What?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I only called to tell you we're finally got a
line of Steve's murderer. Well, well, wouldn't you like to
know who it was?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Will I bring Steve back?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I suppose you're right.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Still, I thought you'd be interested. You see, this party
was trying to kill me. I figure she'll try again.
What do you mean, Well, I believe this woman is
motivated by revenge. If I'm right, Steve's death doesn't satisfy her.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Only mine.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well, I tell we plan to maver. What do you think?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
It doesn't matter what I think. All I know is
that Steve is gone.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Tell let me look alone, alright, Eddy, Now show me
exactly what happened when Sergeant Pulaski came here this afternoon. Well,
at first I saw him.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
He was banging on your door.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
He looked kind of upset because you weren't in.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
That's when you gave him my note.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, and then he told me you said it was
all right.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
For him to wait and sign.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Where were you standing at the time.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Right about here? And go on?
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
So I pulled out my pass key and opened the door.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Tell me how you mean.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
You want me to go through the whole thing again.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Uh huh, I guess Steve was here. Huh uh huh, alright,
open the door like you did.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Hodd watched and guess he stepped into the road.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
The wearing makes the wearing just the moment, we'll return
to the vunures of the Falcon and all back to
the adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Well, there must be something in the old line. If
at first you don't succeed, try try again. And when
Eddie and I tried to reenact the murder of Steve
who the last year the.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Show went over with a bang.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Oh all right, all right, Mike, I'll take a swig
at this.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
What happened? Did you tell me you were here?
Speaker 6 (19:32):
And I guess?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Oh that shouldered him at the stiff for a week.
Let me up, now, you just stayed there till the duck.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm all right, who was it?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You asked me?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Well, didn't Eddie.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Eddie did exactly what he did the first time. He
ran off to get help, and he didn't see who
fired the shot or I guess it's true about people
repeating their mistakes.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
So I got myself plugged for nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
That it's your own fault.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I told you.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Missus McKenna was our baby.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Looks start you were right. Well, I'm going to put
out a call for I've Oh wait a minute, I
just thought of something. What's the matter?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You wanna give her another change?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I'll tell you I got it all figured out. I
know how we can nail the killer for sure. How
I'm gonna need a little help, Sergeant, where's my coach?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I don't be civilly. You're in no condition to travel.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I'll survive, which is a lot more than I can
say of Steve's killer. And I'll get my coat. M Yeah, hello,
Missus PULASKI remember me, Hm, the wearing. What happened my shoulder?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's nothing?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, yeah, this happened practically once a week.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Oh, this is Sergeant Corbett.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I know I can't tell you how sorry I am
about Steve.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Missus PULASKI may we court? Thanks?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I suppose I was apologizing. He's wearing what for?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I wasn't very courteous when you call. Well, that's understandable.
You were under a strain. Have you made any progress plenty?
Why do you think I'm wearing my arm in a sling?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I don't understand the.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Killer took a shot.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
At me, but I was luckier than Steve's.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Who didn't you know who it was?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I think?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
So we even got a confession.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Oh, I'm glad you mentioned that, Sergeant, because I told
you something about it that bothered me. Now I know
what it was. What it was a phony? Laura McKenna
only made it though she could see her husband's Well,
I don't understand you, see, Missus Pulaski. Originally we thought
this was a plot to kill me that misfired. So
all we went around looking for people who disliked me.
(21:37):
That's how we came up with missus McKenna.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What wrongs that?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, let's consider the actual result in the case. Who
was the victim?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
My husband?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Now I suppose it wasn't an accident at all. Suppose
someone was really after Steve's Do is here the possibilities? No? Well,
then we come up with a different group of suspects.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
What were the personal effects they found on his body?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yes, it was a wallet with eight dollars, a badge
and a gun.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Mm. Doesn't it strike you there was something missing?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
But what happened to his skeleton?
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Keys?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
They weren't on his body. So I'll tell you why.
Because the killer used him to get into my apartment.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
The killer knew that Steve was headed there to see me.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Now, who would have the best opportunity to know that
appointment and to lift the keys?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Who?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You? You had big ideas. He didn't like living on
a policeman's salary, so you killed Steve for his insurance. No,
what complicated the deal was that we thought I was
supposed to be the victim. That's why you made a
second attempt that was calculated to.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Make all the more certain Steve was killed accidental.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yes, Oh you were a real clever angel. But you
made one mistake, and in this game, that's enough to
put your way, all right, Carbet, prove it to her.
There's one thing you learned working as a private detective.
Nothing for sure is the case in point. I'll give
you Laura McKenna, missus McKenna is the blonde preparing dinner
and the two room apartment on the north west side. Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And if she.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Seems happy, it's because she is. He's waiting for a
man to come. Laura is wasting her time. So there's
one meal neither of the McKenna's is destined to eat.
Is that your man? Yeah, I'll wait a second, honey, Hi, dove.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
M take off your children.
Speaker 4 (00:36):

Speaker 3 (01:14):
You suggest there's eight bucks in the kitten. I don't

who hasn't got one half your looks breaking around with

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Well that's the way it goes sometimes. And three hours
after Sergeant Steve Pulaski was killed after entering my apartments,
the cops were still busy on the scene. Maybe I
was being selfish, but I didn't care if they stayed
there for years.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
All right, Doc, you can move the body anytime you want.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You might if I take a peek first sergeant.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
He ain't gonna tell you anything, Mike.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I ever did it wasn't taking any chances. They were
probably standing right by that closet. Yeah, and then if
the door opened, they fired.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
That's what your elevator boy said in there?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Did they ain't get a peek at the killer.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
And I haven't talked to.
Speaker 1 (09:13):

Well, I just opened the door for him.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
He walked in and there was a shot.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Go on, that's all I remember. Did you see anyone
in here?
Speaker 9 (09:43):
No? I just ran down the hall and got doctor Wilbury.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Well I could think of what's getting the help?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Please, mister Wayne? Can I go now? Alright?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I'll be downstairs if you want. He he was a
great help.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
He did the best he could. I can't tell you
how sorry I am about this. Coavid.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
If I had been here, you would have gotten it instead.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
And yeah, who do you know that loves you this much?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Offhand? I can't think of a soul.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Come on, might use your head. You must have annoyed
someone recently.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
The only one who comes to mind is mac McKenna
mc kenny. I was representing the insurance company in the
Advanced Jewelry shot stick up, And when Steve described the killer,
I thought of McKenna as a suspect. You'd think Mac Howe,
by mental telepathy, he got him tucked away saving sound.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Oh yeah, same.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Oh, by the way, here's all the stuff we found
on the party, some collection, a bill fold at eight bucks,
a badge, a service revolver in a para.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Baseless, Mmm very much.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And I wish some of those newspaper boys would keep
the affing about crooked cops could see this. What did
Steve want to see you about?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Don if I know he's always met quarters. This morning
is set up to date.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Any idea what it was?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
No, he didn't want to discuss it on the phone.
I got a hunch was personal.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That reminds me somebody's got to break the news.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
To missus KLASKI you mean Steve was married just a
month ago. Well, who's gonna tell her? You and I'll listen.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Call on, Mike.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
It's the least you can do.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
After all, that bullet was intended for you. Okay, sergeant,
but I'd rather stop that slug than do this. You
got a feeling this will be just as bad. Woo
(11:28):
it just a second, missus Pulaski. Yes, my name is
Mike Wearing. Oh of course, just deep open speak.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
So if you want to kill you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I'm deed it home right now. But I said Tom
any minute.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I suppose I could apologize because I looked at this place.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh, I guess I'm not much of a house.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
While I put I'll love you. Sure you will look
at me acting away? I pray you let me take
your coat? Oh please please don't think I can't stay long.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Right and wait to see.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well, he'd be open disappointed if you missed you. Look,
missus Pulaski, there's something I gotta tell you. Has got
to understand. Steve was a cop and in his business.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
What do you mean Steve was a top?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
You're better sit down?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
What happened to him? Look, missus Pulaski, Well is that it.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yes, where is he?
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I gotta see him?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You can't do you need a t I know, but
you see what are you trying.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
To tell me.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
He's dead?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
No, no, I don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You can't be It was my fault indirectly, you see,
the killer was trying to get me. Now, missus Pulaski,
you've got to be braved. Steve would want you to be.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I never wanted to be a cop.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
He couldn't have been anything else. He was cut out
for the job and he liked it. Can I get
you any if it makes you feel any better? I
promise you I'm going to get the responsible party.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Well that brings see back.
Speaker 1 (12:58):

Speaker 4 (12:59):
You know what has to the deck and that's enough.
You wait it leave me alone?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
More coffee, Mike, No, I had enough? Well, how to
go real bad? You know if missus Pulaski has any relatives, No, not,
as far as I know.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I wonder what she's gonna do.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
She doesn't look like a girl.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
As used to working well with thieves, insurance and the
money from the police pension.

To her or him?
Speaker 2 (13:54):

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Can you think of any game you lout step recently?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
What about my Kenna's wife?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And as I recall, she was very devoted to Max,
so she might feel I was responsible for putting him
away and this could be her way of balancing the boat.
All you're not well, there's one way to find out.
I'm going up to see her. I'll let you know
how I manage. Yeah, missus McKenna, that's right, I'd like

Let me behave So I imagine you're pretty surprised to
see me. Well, you kill the wrong boy. It was
a police sergeant named Steve Blast. You're crazy, doesn't this
convince you on the line.
Speaker 3 (14:57):

You're crazy about mat when you felt I was instrumental
in sending unto the chair. You wanted to get even

And you admit your killed Chargeantlan, I admit nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
At the time, you'll try to gun me. And when
Steve walked in, you didn't ask for credentials, you just
blazed away.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I'm not doing any more talking.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
You'll change your mind.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Would you like to see your husband? Huh? I asked
if you'd like to see Max?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Could I if you co operate, all right, I'll tell
you anything you want to know. You were gonna kill Wearing,
that's right now?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Can I do?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You got into his apartment?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
You got into his apart?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh my door was loing.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I used the fire escape.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I'd put you in my bedroom.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
No, you promised me.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I promised.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Julie seems to cooperate, but you're not. Now how did
you get into my apartment. I told you to the
fire escape that leads to the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
He got me mixed up. I meant the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
What about the window there?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, it was open or it wasn't. I distinctly remember
shutting it before I left. I want to see that. Well,
what do you say, Mike? H okay?
Speaker 8 (16:25):
Well, let's take missus McKenna down and see her husband
and then lock her up.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Tense a lot time. You won't regrets?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Can you beat that?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
He needs it?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah, she's real mad for the guy. Listen, Cartlett, want
you to do me a favor? Release her? You not,
You don't have to worry. She won't skip. Mac will
hold her here like a magnet.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
What's the idea.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I don't think she's telling the truth. Something about her
confession that bothered.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
No, you won't be satisfied till she kills you.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Well, then you can say I told you so? What
do you say?
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Covid?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Would you play along with my hunch?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (16:57):
But if it doesn't pay off, I'll eat your heart
a little chili saw I said, I'd be real tasty.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yes, missus Pulaski, Yes, this is Mike wearing. How do
you feel? How do you think I feel? What?
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I only called to tell you we're finally got a
line of Steve's murderer. Well, well, wouldn't you like to
know who it was?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Will I bring Steve back?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I suppose you're right.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Still, I thought you'd be interested. You see, this party
was trying to kill me. I figure she'll try again.
What do you mean, Well, I believe this woman is
motivated by revenge. If I'm right, Steve's death doesn't satisfy her.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Only mine.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well, I tell we plan to maver. What do you think?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
It doesn't matter what I think. All I know is
that Steve is gone.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Tell let me look alone, alright, Eddy, Now show me
exactly what happened when Sergeant Pulaski came here this afternoon. Well,
at first I saw him.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
He was banging on your door.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
He looked kind of upset because you weren't in.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
That's when you gave him my note.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, and then he told me you said it was
all right.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
For him to wait and sign.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Where were you standing at the time.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Right about here? And go on?
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
So I pulled out my pass key and opened the door.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Tell me how you mean.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
You want me to go through the whole thing again.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Uh huh, I guess Steve was here. Huh uh huh, alright,
open the door like you did.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Hodd watched and guess he stepped into the road.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
The wearing makes the wearing just the moment, we'll return
to the vunures of the Falcon and all back to
the adventures of the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Well, there must be something in the old line. If
at first you don't succeed, try try again. And when
Eddie and I tried to reenact the murder of Steve
who the last year the.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Show went over with a bang.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Oh all right, all right, Mike, I'll take a swig
at this.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
What happened? Did you tell me you were here?
Speaker 6 (19:32):
And I guess?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Oh that shouldered him at the stiff for a week.
Let me up, now, you just stayed there till the duck.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm all right, who was it?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You asked me?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Well, didn't Eddie.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Eddie did exactly what he did the first time. He
ran off to get help, and he didn't see who
fired the shot or I guess it's true about people
repeating their mistakes.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
So I got myself plugged for nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
That it's your own fault.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I told you.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Missus McKenna was our baby.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Looks start you were right. Well, I'm going to put
out a call for I've Oh wait a minute, I
just thought of something. What's the matter?
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You wanna give her another change?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I'll tell you I got it all figured out. I
know how we can nail the killer for sure. How
I'm gonna need a little help, Sergeant, where's my coach?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I don't be civilly. You're in no condition to travel.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I'll survive, which is a lot more than I can
say of Steve's killer. And I'll get my coat. M Yeah, hello,
Missus PULASKI remember me, Hm, the wearing. What happened my shoulder?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's nothing?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, yeah, this happened practically once a week.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Oh, this is Sergeant Corbett.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I know I can't tell you how sorry I am
about Steve.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Missus PULASKI may we court? Thanks?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I suppose I was apologizing. He's wearing what for?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I wasn't very courteous when you call. Well, that's understandable.
You were under a strain. Have you made any progress plenty?
Why do you think I'm wearing my arm in a sling?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I don't understand the.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Killer took a shot.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
At me, but I was luckier than Steve's.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Who didn't you know who it was?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I think?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
So we even got a confession.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Oh, I'm glad you mentioned that, Sergeant, because I told
you something about it that bothered me. Now I know
what it was. What it was a phony? Laura McKenna
only made it though she could see her husband's Well,
I don't understand you, see, Missus Pulaski. Originally we thought
this was a plot to kill me that misfired. So
all we went around looking for people who disliked me.
(21:37):
That's how we came up with missus McKenna.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What wrongs that?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, let's consider the actual result in the case. Who
was the victim?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
My husband?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Now I suppose it wasn't an accident at all. Suppose
someone was really after Steve's Do is here the possibilities? No? Well,
then we come up with a different group of suspects.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
What were the personal effects they found on his body?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yes, it was a wallet with eight dollars, a badge
and a gun.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Mm. Doesn't it strike you there was something missing?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
But what happened to his skeleton?
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Keys?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
They weren't on his body. So I'll tell you why.
Because the killer used him to get into my apartment.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
The killer knew that Steve was headed there to see me.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Now, who would have the best opportunity to know that
appointment and to lift the keys?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Who?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You? You had big ideas. He didn't like living on
a policeman's salary, so you killed Steve for his insurance. No,
what complicated the deal was that we thought I was
supposed to be the victim. That's why you made a
second attempt that was calculated to.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Make all the more certain Steve was killed accidental.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yes, Oh you were a real clever angel. But you
made one mistake, and in this game, that's enough to
put your way, all right, Carbet, prove it to her.
