Speaker 1 (03:09):

Speaker 1 (03:13):
So long after so short a visit. Uh uh, Faraday.
If you will answer a few questions, I'll be out
of here in a few minutes.
Speaker 10 (03:19):
That's the best news I've heard since you came in.
What do you want besides to make a nuisance here South.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I want to make a good cop of you. Is
there any tray shedd of his talking killing?
Speaker 10 (03:27):
No, the guy asked me more than a good cop
to catch that guy. He's gotta be a wizard, a genius.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He's gotta know something. You are well? Where was he
last seen.
Speaker 10 (03:37):
Over on the north Side? That was about a week
ago since Danny's disappeared. But we're still looking for him
and we're.
Speaker 9 (03:42):
Gonna catch him. Why do you want to know about him?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Because he hasn't disappeared. Eva Cronan a friend of Mary's.
So I'm just last night staring at him from a
window across the street from her apartment on Elm Street.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
He's stucking a new victim man. Miss Cronin says, he's
been watching her for two weeks now, for.
Speaker 9 (03:57):
Two weeks, why didn't you come to us?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Why you know what happens when the victim is given
the police escort, the stalker just.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Fails to show up. I know.
Speaker 10 (04:05):
Then after we drop the escort, the stalker comes back
and a few days later the victim's dead.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
What I don't understand is why does this guy stalk
his victims?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
The psychological effect Paraday. That constant leer of his doesn't
know me an nooy. It drives people half crazy. They'll
do anything. He'll just disappear. That's when he asks for money,
and he gets it.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
Out of his victims pay off. He has no reason
to murder them, but he does. He's no shakedown artist.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
He's a killer.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
He's a killer so he can continue his shakedowns, but
his victims dead. If he's at a court, he can
deny he's the stalker. None of his previous victims is
a round to identify him.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Paraday. I went in on this case. Maybe I can
grab the stoker.
Speaker 9 (04:45):
Go ahead and see what you're gonna do. At least
you won't be bothering me.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Thanks Pal.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You know I'm always willing to go out of my
way to keep out of yours.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
No way.
Speaker 11 (05:02):
I feel any feel like I want to meet up
with that stalker right this minute. I feel like I
want to bend my night stick over his skull.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Ah, you're getting nerves money trying to find a guy
we never saw as making it jumping.
Speaker 11 (05:14):
You're not kidding, I'm jumping. Watch the cron in Dame's
house very detailed us. He's next on the stalker's list. Okay,
so we watch O.
Speaker 9 (05:24):
The Stalker don't show and the day ain't been hurt either.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Mandy, remember that.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Well the guy is, he's smart enough to lay off,
and we're around now. The chances are if we've been
tipped off to the others, he'd never have knocked off
the three days he's comped already.
Speaker 11 (05:39):
Oh I know is I got a gun, I got
a night stick and I got a great bakin to
use either one or.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Both on that cake. Well, there's a call about reporting.
Will you have anybody asks for me? Say, I'm sitting
on the curb, waiting for the stalker to show up. Okay,
light up for smoke.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Maybe that you don't need help, you need action.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I'll see what headquarters wants us to do.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
I'm in favor of giving up this job right in
this is clancy, give me Faraday and homicide classy inspector.

Okay, Inspector, that's the way you want it so long?
Come on, well, let's go Marty. No more walking around
waiting for the stalker. This time we sit around waiting
for him.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Slaggy, what are you doing with that sheet of paper?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm sitting in the past performances of the Stalker, Mary,
I might figure out a way to catch him.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I'm getting sorry. I told you about Eva Cronin. We
were supposed to go out the evening. Remember, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You want to go to the movies, don't you.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Well, at least when we go to the movies, you
don't have to solve the mystery.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
The greatest mystery about some mystery movies is why they
were made.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Well, there's the phone.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Are you in?
Speaker 1 (07:32):

I mean he's across the street watching the same fellow.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yes, I know him. Anyway, he's across the street watching
his house, waiting for me.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I just know just a minute, when I'm not Mary,
this talk is watching even now.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Golly, I don't know whether I'm glad or scared.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Evare you and thirty two thirty two Eastern Road.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Thirty two thirty two Eastern Roads.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Having a party? You're Blackie. I was about to leave
when I saw it.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Stay right where you are. I'm coming up there. The
fact that the stalker is waiting for you is just
what I've been waiting for. Eve a. Where in the
world of you? Bid?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Miss me?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Bob now Weaver, please don't get cut. Where were you?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You disappeared ten minutes ago and nobody knew where you were.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I had to make a phone call.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Who'd you call?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Bob?
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Stop asking the question?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh honey, I'm sorry, it's It's just that I was working.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I'm all right, I'm perfectly all right. I went to
make a phone call. If that such a crime, I know.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
But this is a party that Besides, you don't have
to get so excited.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I wasn't trying to pry then, don't, Bob. Can't you
see I'm nervous, I'm upset. I don't know what's happening
to me, and I don't want to get.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
The man who stared at you in the restaurants noyes.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I just called Boston Blackie to tell him that the
same man was across this tearing it eve when I
went to the window a few minutes ago. Bob, Bob,
what am I going to do?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Call her? Police? Can't know what to do.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Oh, it's no use. I'm going to wait right here
and her Boston Blackie comes to pick me up.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
We're in the thirty two hundred block on Eastern Road. Blackie,
you better slow down, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Thirty two thirty two will be on your side of
the street. Mary, watch out for it. William, Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I don't see anyone standing on the sidewalk in this block.
I'm afraid we're too late to catch this darker.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I'm glad to.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Say, I'm afraid you're right. I'm sorry to say.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Oh, here's thirty two thirty two right here, thanks, Blackie.
That house is almost dark. Doesn't seem to be a
party going on in there.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Was late, Mary.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Maybe most of the guests have gone home, and I'm
sure your friend Eva waited for her.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
She sat it scared to death on the phone.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
And she s certainly had good reason.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No doubt about that. Well, let's go to the house.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Okay, Blackie. And maybe maybe the stalker's hiding around here somewhere.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Maybe if I thought didn't do any good to search
for him, I would.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But our best bet is to get miss Cronan and
stick to her till I stalk that she was up again.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Well, you stick with her, Blackie, and I'll go home.
On the second thought, though, maybe i'd better not go home.
Eva is a little too good looking, will be too
good looking.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
I hope you'll never find out there's only one light
on in his house, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, obviously the party is over and the other guests
are going home.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
He was there, though, but I'm not Mary. Maybe we'd
better take miss Cronan to your apartments night.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
She certainly can't be stared at there your twenty two
stories up, and there isn't another building that high for
eighty nine blocks.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
If someone's coming here to do it.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I was beginning to think there was no one home.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
You want?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Well, Well, uh is miss Eva Cronan here? Oh?
Speaker 7 (11:06):
I never heard of Oliva Cronan.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well, she was at a party here night.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
A party here. There ain't been a party here in
thirty years.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Well, this is thirty two thirty two Eastern Road, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Look if you can read signs and numbers, you'd know
that without asking this.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Well, I can read, but I can't understand why miss
Cronan isn't There wasn't here.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
She phoned me from here about an hour ago, not
from here.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
She didn't miss her. There ain't no phone in this house.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
There ain't been no party here, and I ain't heard
an Oliva Cronan night in the mood for talking to
you or anybody.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Else's time of night. So beat it, mister, beat it.
Speaker 8 (11:48):
And now back to Boston Blackie. Young, beautiful and wealthy
Eva Cronin is being constantly followed by a man. Boston
Blackie and the police believe is the notorious stalking killer
already has extorted money from three victims and then murdered them.
(12:11):
Eva phone's Blackie to say the stalker is watching her.
At the moment, Blackie and his friend Mary Wesley rushed
to the address to find that Eva has never been there.
The house has no phone. As we return to our story,
Blackie is in Eva's apartment with the father of the
still missing girl.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I don't understand how you can sit there play the piano,
mister Cronan, when your daughter's missing. Playing the piano helps
me think, Blackie. And besides, I don't think Eve's missing.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
What's more, she's not really my daughter, my adopted some
years ago. You're not trying to say that you don't
care if she's trouble, of course not.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
When her father died, I promise i'd take care of her,
and I've taken good care of her. There's a father
there that had a picture on piano what was the corona?
And I didn't come here because I thought you could
help me track the stalker. You couldn't know anything about him,
I know, but I am going to stay here until
your daughter shows up.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And you may have a long wait.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I still don't understand what brought you here, mister cron
and your daughter phoned me from thirty two to thirty
to Eastern Road that she was being watched by the
same man who's been watching her for two weeks. My
daughter has a fantastic imagination, and if she keeps using it,
she'll imagine herself into insanity. I don't get you, mister Colonne.
The stalk is real, too real. He's killed three people already.
(13:24):
Eva may be the fourth. She isn't in trouble right now.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Why wasn't she if that Eastern Road address? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I didn't even know she'd gone out this evening until
you came here looking for her. She must have slipped
out with Bob. Bob, who's he a fiance? He's the
fellow with the picture to the right of her dad
right here on the piano. A fine boy. But I'm
afraid he wants to marry Eva for her money. Your
daughter is wealthy, very She inherits several million dollars from
my father.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
She was a dad's pim.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
She has two other sisters and a brother somewhere. But well,
they got nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
They got nothing, and I'm getting nowhere. It might help
a little if you know where you wanted to get flirt.
Mister Cronan. Doesn't mean anything to you that your daughter
might be dead. It means nothing to me that you
think she might.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Be Noking is awfully easy. She's been threatened by a murderer.
We know he's a dangerous killer. Your daughter called me
and said she was being watched by him tonight, an
hour or so ago. When I got to the address
she gave me, she wasn't there. Does not add up
to you. All it means is that there's a combination
of circumstances which it isn't my business to explain. Even
(14:29):
we'll show up, Blackie. I'm sure she will know you
are well. I'm sure she won't. I'm more sure now
than ever she's the latest victim of the stocker. Mister Cronan,
your daughter is dead?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Am I hello? Either? Where do you come from? My room?
Speaker 5 (14:47):
I came home my daddy was playing, didn't want to
disturb him, and went ride to my room. What happened
to you, Blackie?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
After I've phoned you happened to me?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
What happened to you? I went to that address you
gave me there was no party going on there.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
It most certainly was.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
People can tell you that you didn't show up. I
got Bob to take me home. Well, good night to
you both. I'm going out.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Where do you think you're going at the summer? It
is rather lady dealer? Perhaps you want to take Blackie
with you.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
It's impossible.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Please Blackie stay here.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Don't try to follow me.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
It only means something we'll both regret if you do.
Speaker 12 (15:18):
Okay, hold it is coming, recognize me.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
I should.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Don't you think?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Uh nice you to meet me out here in the
country like this?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
When I wrote you that note, I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Sure you would.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You're a brave girl. You know. I've killed three people
I know, but they paid me well before I kill them.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You're going to pay me two, only more than they
did because you have.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I'll take fifty thousand from you.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Then, when you leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Pay me that fifty thousand.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
I'll have it for you by tomorrow. How will I
get it to you.
Speaker 12 (16:07):
I'll let you know tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
You see me sometime tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
You know that, don't you?
Speaker 5 (16:15):
If I pay you you leave me alone, won't you please?
When I pay the money, go away? Go far away,
leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You know I may do that.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I have another young lady to call on, a lady
on Brewster Road.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
After she pays me. Maybe I'll need time. Maybe i'll
kill her. Maybe I don't know why. I can your
wife bound.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I having tricked, well, it doesn't matter. I can handle
two like him like this.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I see you get to the nearest police box. It'scrolling.
I'm going out, go away. I'll love to catch him. Now.
Why did I have to walk into that right hook?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That was better than going after him and running into
a bullet.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I wouldn't have given him time to shoot.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Blacky, he hit you. I could never have forgiven myself.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Please that i'm shaking. Take me home, Please take me home,
all right? You should have stayed there. I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I had to meet this man. He sent me a note.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Holy you shouldn't have followed me.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
I begged you not to. So don't want me not
to tell anybody.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Lucky.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
I'm going to pay him when he wants. I got
to him.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Please, don't need defeat.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I can't promise that. Maybe you're going to pay him
what he wants that I'm going to see that he
gets what he deserves.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Him inside the house.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
I know what, Scott, I'll start shoot.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I'll killed the first one.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
To boots for the store here that we've nailed the stalker,
all right, you let me get away.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I'll tell you off. Oh this is gonna shoot his
way out where SAMs. We try to break in.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
We'll get him, but he'll get a couple of cops
before we do. Why don't you think I know that
beat it blank and not the stalker get away? Oh no,
I almost had him earlier tonight. This time I'm gonna
get him.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
This is my job.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Like you, I'll do it and you'll lose men doing it. Paraday.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I've got an idea, whatever it is, forget it. Listen
let me borrow your squad car. I'll ram it through
the door. The stalk of fires at it. The bullets
will just bounce off. Then once I'm inside, i'll grab him.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It doesn't sound bad. Only you're not gonna do it it,
Scott yess her.
Speaker 9 (19:44):
You heard what Blake he said, go on, get that
squad car.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Oh no, he doesn't. Friday. It's my idea and I'm
gonna carry it out like you crazy fool. Come back here,
but I'll have company when I do. Thank you making
it's better here.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I wouldn't bet against Blanky. There he goes head and
right for that. Go on full speed.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Come on, you guys.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Let's good moving case blanking new Town. I don't hear
any shots.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
That's a good sign. Come on through the door.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
I see how good a sen it is the aspected
that way spriggling with that guy scraped the stock of pars.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Good guy like me, case stock and cut it out.
Hold it like I got him, like he got him. Good.
Come here talking hate my friends, the police, police, which
is full of bum.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
This is about the last time you'll see the outside
of a prison.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
Sound you don't want it for three murders and for
planning a four.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Are you crazy?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
When I'm crazy?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But that better be your plea when you come to
trial only are whack with stalkers victims the way?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Who have you think I'm a stalking killer?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Ah, you're crazy.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
You don't have to stalk a Why didn't you fire
on us just now?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Because I didn't know you were the police. I just
heard the whispers night, saw people snooping around outside.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
And why didn't you run in here after staring at
that woman across the street.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I didn't stare at any woman. I went in here
because this is where I live.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Those are pretty fair alibis, except that I saw you
with Eva Cronan earlier tonight and you were demanding money
from her.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Why shouldn't I ask her for money?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Iva Cronan is my sister, your assist? Yes? Now?
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Why can't I ask her for money? I'm prove my
father never let me anything.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
But Eva's still rich?
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Blackie, what's going on here? This guy isn't the stalker.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
He's just a dumb, frightened guy.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
He's not dumb, Paraday, he's smart. Maybe he's the smartest
killer we've ever run across.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
He can't prove he's a killer. The stalker's victims are
all dead. And if this fellow is Eva Croner's brother,
she'll admit it.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That him mean he.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Isn't the stalker.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Come to think of it, Iva Cronan never said this
guy was the stalker. But what are you gonna do?
Let him go? Of course not.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
I can hold him on suspicion for a while.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
To do that, I have something on the fire that
may cook this guy's goose. And I'm an extension for him, Charlie,
and I'm seeing him.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
I want to say something right now, Blackie, you're wasting
my time.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You're with me? A breatch. Hello, and miss Cronin. This
is Blackie.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Oh yes, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
What is it the police to court a man they
think is the stalker.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
He's the same guy who slugged me when I followed
you last night, Only he says he's your brother.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Oh he is my brother, Blackie. He's not a man
who kept staring at me.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
He's my brother.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
And all he wanted was the money. That's why I
didn't want you to follow me. This was strictly between
him and me.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Don't you see what did he want the money for?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
He had none and I have plenty. Why shouldn't I
give him money? He's my brother, is he?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
He's your brother? But he isn't broke.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
The police found thousands of dollars in his house, money
he took from his victims. He's a stoker, Miss Cronan.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
We know that, and so do you.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Yes, yes, Blackie, I knew it all the time. I
tried to help him, but I guess it didn't work.
You can't hate a girl for trying.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Can you?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Black to protect a killer? You most certainly can. That's all,
Miss Crolin. I'll see you in the morning in jail.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Miss Cronin's has held three Blackie, Thanks God anytime? What's
on my visit? Or most people it's five minutes. Well
I'm not most people. I may take a little longer
than that. Serg yourself, hell for me when you're leaving. Okay, hello,
Miss Crolan, it's you.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
What do you want here, Blackie? You caught my brother.
You hadn't put me here? Isn't that enough reason for
you to leave me alone?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Perhaps?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
But there are some things I don't know, and I
want to clear them up. But for instance, why did
you fit into all this?
Speaker 5 (23:50):
I knew my brother was a stalker. I wanted to
help him, so I pretended I was being stalked, and
if the police arrested my brother, I could deny he
was the man who was following me. Girl's own brother
wouldn't be talking her, would he.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
In this case? Yes? Incidentally, what you told me was
exactly what i'd imagine.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
When you gave me that phony address on Eastern Road,
I figured you were in on this somehow.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
I'd address wasn't phony. I told you where I was,
thirty two Eastern Road.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
You said thirty two thirty two. I was very clever
of you, now that I think of him. Later, you
could have said thought you were doing was repeating the number.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
The police hadn't found that money in my brother's house.
That's what I would have said. I wanted you to
be under the impression someone else was his talker. I
had to protect my brother, don't you seem Blackie.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
No, he was trying to get fifty thousand dollars from you.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
As I remember, I would have been glad to give
him that money. I would have gone anything to get
him out of town. I knew he was his talker.
I knew he must have had some money, but I
thought the money I gave him would be enough to
make him quit killing.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I honestly don't know how much money he did have.
Was crawn on, but you said the police the police
found it. Yes, I said that, but I did it
only so that you would talk.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
You did? How about you in jail? Was crown But
you shouldn't be too unhappy.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
And after all, you're practically the only living member of
the stock Club
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Hm.
A journey into therel from the stranger and kill abide.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I hope you will enjoy the ship, that it will
fill you a little and kill you a little.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
So settle back, get a good grip on your nerve.
Where are we going? You'll find out when we get there.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
For weeks and weeks there's been a man staring at
me everywhere I've been. He's everywhere I go, and he's
standing out there now across the street staring at this.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Door having a nice time either.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Don't you remember me, Bob. I'm Eva Cronan, the girl
who always had a nice time. But this is special
because you are.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Here for fall. What thank you.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
By the way, you seem to have another admirer sitting
at that table in the corner there.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
He's been staring at you all.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Let's get out of here.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
What did that man?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I've been telling you about it. Everywhere I go he
goes and stares at me. There he is again.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Oh that's you, ever y your home money.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
You're up late, composing.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
No, just killing time.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Have a nice time tonight, yes, till that man showed
up again.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Now, Eva, you know it's only my imagination.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Oh no, it's real. He's real. I'm not I expect
to find him staring at me through the window.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Here deem stories above the street. Now you're being a
little ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I'm nervous.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
I can't help it.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
I look out of the window.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
What's the matter?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Every man again in one of the windows across the.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Street staring at me.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
And now meet Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy to
those who make him an enemy, friend to those who
have no friend.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Good morning. It'spector Faraday. Goodbye, Blackie.
Speaker 9 (03:07):
This is police Headquarter's a lot of day nursery.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's right. But who told you? You might have put
a tag on you?
Speaker 9 (03:11):
And somebody will take it to school? License safe?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
So long after so short a visit. Uh uh, Faraday.
If you will answer a few questions, I'll be out
of here in a few minutes.
Speaker 10 (03:19):
That's the best news I've heard since you came in.
What do you want besides to make a nuisance here South.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I want to make a good cop of you. Is
there any tray shedd of his talking killing?
Speaker 10 (03:27):
No, the guy asked me more than a good cop
to catch that guy. He's gotta be a wizard, a genius.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He's gotta know something. You are well? Where was he
last seen.
Speaker 10 (03:37):
Over on the north Side? That was about a week
ago since Danny's disappeared. But we're still looking for him
and we're.
Speaker 9 (03:42):
Gonna catch him. Why do you want to know about him?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Because he hasn't disappeared. Eva Cronan a friend of Mary's.
So I'm just last night staring at him from a
window across the street from her apartment on Elm Street.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
He's stucking a new victim man. Miss Cronin says, he's
been watching her for two weeks now, for.
Speaker 9 (03:57):
Two weeks, why didn't you come to us?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Why you know what happens when the victim is given
the police escort, the stalker just.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Fails to show up. I know.
Speaker 10 (04:05):
Then after we drop the escort, the stalker comes back
and a few days later the victim's dead.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
What I don't understand is why does this guy stalk
his victims?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
The psychological effect Paraday. That constant leer of his doesn't
know me an nooy. It drives people half crazy. They'll
do anything. He'll just disappear. That's when he asks for money,
and he gets it.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
Out of his victims pay off. He has no reason
to murder them, but he does. He's no shakedown artist.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
He's a killer.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
He's a killer so he can continue his shakedowns, but
his victims dead. If he's at a court, he can
deny he's the stalker. None of his previous victims is
a round to identify him.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Paraday. I went in on this case. Maybe I can
grab the stoker.
Speaker 9 (04:45):
Go ahead and see what you're gonna do. At least
you won't be bothering me.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Thanks Pal.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You know I'm always willing to go out of my
way to keep out of yours.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
No way.
Speaker 11 (05:02):
I feel any feel like I want to meet up
with that stalker right this minute. I feel like I
want to bend my night stick over his skull.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Ah, you're getting nerves money trying to find a guy
we never saw as making it jumping.
Speaker 11 (05:14):
You're not kidding, I'm jumping. Watch the cron in Dame's
house very detailed us. He's next on the stalker's list. Okay,
so we watch O.
Speaker 9 (05:24):
The Stalker don't show and the day ain't been hurt either.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Mandy, remember that.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Well the guy is, he's smart enough to lay off,
and we're around now. The chances are if we've been
tipped off to the others, he'd never have knocked off
the three days he's comped already.
Speaker 11 (05:39):
Oh I know is I got a gun, I got
a night stick and I got a great bakin to
use either one or.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Both on that cake. Well, there's a call about reporting.
Will you have anybody asks for me? Say, I'm sitting
on the curb, waiting for the stalker to show up. Okay,
light up for smoke.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Maybe that you don't need help, you need action.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I'll see what headquarters wants us to do.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
I'm in favor of giving up this job right in
this is clancy, give me Faraday and homicide classy inspector.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
No knows I'm a stalker.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Miller and I have walked ourselves weary patrol in Elm
Street where that cronin Day and lives.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
He ain't caught a show, inspector. Do you know what
he's gonna do? How does anybody know?
Speaker 10 (06:24):
If I pull you off the Elm Street assignment where
he was supposed to have been spotted.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
He'll knock off somebody there as sure as anything.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Where're supposed to stay here? Where do you want to
go home? Well, I look classy, I'm going to spot.
Speaker 10 (06:35):
You and Miller, two of the best cops I've got.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Come on back here. We're gonna get a break.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
On this case.
Speaker 10 (06:39):
The Stalker's gonna woven up soon. Maybe you guys want
to be here when he does.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Okay, Inspector, that's the way you want it so long?
Come on, well, let's go Marty. No more walking around
waiting for the stalker. This time we sit around waiting
for him.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Slaggy, what are you doing with that sheet of paper?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm sitting in the past performances of the Stalker, Mary,
I might figure out a way to catch him.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I'm getting sorry. I told you about Eva Cronin. We
were supposed to go out the evening. Remember, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You want to go to the movies, don't you.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Well, at least when we go to the movies, you
don't have to solve the mystery.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
The greatest mystery about some mystery movies is why they
were made.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Well, there's the phone.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Are you in?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I don't know. I'll look and yes, I'm here.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Do you want me to I'm near it?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Thanks? Any Hello, Flaky? Oh hello Eva? Did your friend
to even? Mary? Yes? Eva? What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Blanky? He's here.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I mean he's across the street watching the same fellow.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yes, I know him. Anyway, he's across the street watching
his house, waiting for me.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I just know just a minute, when I'm not Mary,
this talk is watching even now.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Golly, I don't know whether I'm glad or scared.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Evare you and thirty two thirty two Eastern Road.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Thirty two thirty two Eastern Roads.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Having a party? You're Blackie. I was about to leave
when I saw it.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Stay right where you are. I'm coming up there. The
fact that the stalker is waiting for you is just
what I've been waiting for. Eve a. Where in the
world of you? Bid?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Miss me?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Bob now Weaver, please don't get cut. Where were you?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You disappeared ten minutes ago and nobody knew where you were.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I had to make a phone call.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Who'd you call?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Bob?
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Stop asking the question?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh honey, I'm sorry, it's It's just that I was working.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I'm all right, I'm perfectly all right. I went to
make a phone call. If that such a crime, I know.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
But this is a party that Besides, you don't have
to get so excited.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I wasn't trying to pry then, don't, Bob. Can't you
see I'm nervous, I'm upset. I don't know what's happening
to me, and I don't want to get.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
The man who stared at you in the restaurants noyes.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
I just called Boston Blackie to tell him that the
same man was across this tearing it eve when I
went to the window a few minutes ago. Bob, Bob,
what am I going to do?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Call her? Police? Can't know what to do.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Oh, it's no use. I'm going to wait right here
and her Boston Blackie comes to pick me up.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
We're in the thirty two hundred block on Eastern Road. Blackie,
you better slow down, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Thirty two thirty two will be on your side of
the street. Mary, watch out for it. William, Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I don't see anyone standing on the sidewalk in this block.
I'm afraid we're too late to catch this darker.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I'm glad to.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Say, I'm afraid you're right. I'm sorry to say.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Oh, here's thirty two thirty two right here, thanks, Blackie.
That house is almost dark. Doesn't seem to be a
party going on in there.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Was late, Mary.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Maybe most of the guests have gone home, and I'm
sure your friend Eva waited for her.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
She sat it scared to death on the phone.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
And she s certainly had good reason.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
No doubt about that. Well, let's go to the house.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Okay, Blackie. And maybe maybe the stalker's hiding around here somewhere.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Maybe if I thought didn't do any good to search
for him, I would.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
But our best bet is to get miss Cronan and
stick to her till I stalk that she was up again.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Well, you stick with her, Blackie, and I'll go home.
On the second thought, though, maybe i'd better not go home.
Eva is a little too good looking, will be too
good looking.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
I hope you'll never find out there's only one light
on in his house, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, obviously the party is over and the other guests
are going home.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
He was there, though, but I'm not Mary. Maybe we'd
better take miss Cronan to your apartments night.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
She certainly can't be stared at there your twenty two
stories up, and there isn't another building that high for
eighty nine blocks.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
If someone's coming here to do it.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I was beginning to think there was no one home.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
You want?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Well, Well, uh is miss Eva Cronan here? Oh?
Speaker 7 (11:06):
I never heard of Oliva Cronan.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well, she was at a party here night.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
A party here. There ain't been a party here in
thirty years.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Well, this is thirty two thirty two Eastern Road, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Look if you can read signs and numbers, you'd know
that without asking this.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Well, I can read, but I can't understand why miss
Cronan isn't There wasn't here.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
She phoned me from here about an hour ago, not
from here.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
She didn't miss her. There ain't no phone in this house.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
There ain't been no party here, and I ain't heard
an Oliva Cronan night in the mood for talking to
you or anybody.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Else's time of night. So beat it, mister, beat it.
Speaker 8 (11:48):
And now back to Boston Blackie. Young, beautiful and wealthy
Eva Cronin is being constantly followed by a man. Boston
Blackie and the police believe is the notorious stalking killer
already has extorted money from three victims and then murdered them.
(12:11):
Eva phone's Blackie to say the stalker is watching her.
At the moment, Blackie and his friend Mary Wesley rushed
to the address to find that Eva has never been there.
The house has no phone. As we return to our story,
Blackie is in Eva's apartment with the father of the
still missing girl.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I don't understand how you can sit there play the piano,
mister Cronan, when your daughter's missing. Playing the piano helps
me think, Blackie. And besides, I don't think Eve's missing.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
What's more, she's not really my daughter, my adopted some
years ago. You're not trying to say that you don't
care if she's trouble, of course not.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
When her father died, I promise i'd take care of her,
and I've taken good care of her. There's a father
there that had a picture on piano what was the corona?
And I didn't come here because I thought you could
help me track the stalker. You couldn't know anything about him,
I know, but I am going to stay here until
your daughter shows up.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And you may have a long wait.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I still don't understand what brought you here, mister cron
and your daughter phoned me from thirty two to thirty
to Eastern Road that she was being watched by the
same man who's been watching her for two weeks. My
daughter has a fantastic imagination, and if she keeps using it,
she'll imagine herself into insanity. I don't get you, mister Colonne.
The stalk is real, too real. He's killed three people already.
(13:24):
Eva may be the fourth. She isn't in trouble right now.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Why wasn't she if that Eastern Road address? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I didn't even know she'd gone out this evening until
you came here looking for her. She must have slipped
out with Bob. Bob, who's he a fiance? He's the
fellow with the picture to the right of her dad
right here on the piano. A fine boy. But I'm
afraid he wants to marry Eva for her money. Your
daughter is wealthy, very She inherits several million dollars from
my father.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
She was a dad's pim.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
She has two other sisters and a brother somewhere. But well,
they got nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
They got nothing, and I'm getting nowhere. It might help
a little if you know where you wanted to get flirt.
Mister Cronan. Doesn't mean anything to you that your daughter
might be dead. It means nothing to me that you
think she might.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Be Noking is awfully easy. She's been threatened by a murderer.
We know he's a dangerous killer. Your daughter called me
and said she was being watched by him tonight, an
hour or so ago. When I got to the address
she gave me, she wasn't there. Does not add up
to you. All it means is that there's a combination
of circumstances which it isn't my business to explain. Even
(14:29):
we'll show up, Blackie. I'm sure she will know you
are well. I'm sure she won't. I'm more sure now
than ever she's the latest victim of the stocker. Mister Cronan,
your daughter is dead?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Am I hello? Either? Where do you come from? My room?
Speaker 5 (14:47):
I came home my daddy was playing, didn't want to
disturb him, and went ride to my room. What happened
to you, Blackie?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
After I've phoned you happened to me?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
What happened to you? I went to that address you
gave me there was no party going on there.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
It most certainly was.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
People can tell you that you didn't show up. I
got Bob to take me home. Well, good night to
you both. I'm going out.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Where do you think you're going at the summer? It
is rather lady dealer? Perhaps you want to take Blackie
with you.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
It's impossible.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Please Blackie stay here.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Don't try to follow me.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
It only means something we'll both regret if you do.
Speaker 12 (15:18):
Okay, hold it is coming, recognize me.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
I should.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Don't you think?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Uh nice you to meet me out here in the
country like this?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
When I wrote you that note, I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Sure you would.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You're a brave girl. You know. I've killed three people
I know, but they paid me well before I kill them.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You're going to pay me two, only more than they
did because you have.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I'll take fifty thousand from you.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Then, when you leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Pay me that fifty thousand.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
I'll have it for you by tomorrow. How will I
get it to you.
Speaker 12 (16:07):
I'll let you know tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
You see me sometime tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
You know that, don't you?
Speaker 5 (16:15):
If I pay you you leave me alone, won't you please?
When I pay the money, go away? Go far away,
leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You know I may do that.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I have another young lady to call on, a lady
on Brewster Road.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
After she pays me. Maybe I'll need time. Maybe i'll
kill her. Maybe I don't know why. I can your
wife bound.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I having tricked, well, it doesn't matter. I can handle
two like him like this.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I see you get to the nearest police box. It'scrolling.
I'm going out, go away. I'll love to catch him. Now.
Why did I have to walk into that right hook?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That was better than going after him and running into
a bullet.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I wouldn't have given him time to shoot.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Blacky, he hit you. I could never have forgiven myself.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Please that i'm shaking. Take me home, Please take me home,
all right? You should have stayed there. I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I had to meet this man. He sent me a note.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Holy you shouldn't have followed me.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
I begged you not to. So don't want me not
to tell anybody.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Lucky.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
I'm going to pay him when he wants. I got
to him.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Please, don't need defeat.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I can't promise that. Maybe you're going to pay him
what he wants that I'm going to see that he
gets what he deserves.

Speaker 7 (19:55):

Speaker 5 (19:55):

Speaker 1 (19:56):
I wouldn't bet against Blanky. There he goes head and

Speaker 6 (20:05):
Come on, you guys.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
Let's good moving case blanking new Town. I don't hear
any shots.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
That's a good sign. Come on through the door.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
I see how good a sen it is the aspected
that way spriggling with that guy scraped the stock of pars.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Good guy like me, case stock and cut it out.
Hold it like I got him, like he got him. Good.
Come here talking hate my friends, the police, police, which
is full of bum.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
This is about the last time you'll see the outside
of a prison.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
Sound you don't want it for three murders and for
planning a four.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Are you crazy?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
When I'm crazy?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But that better be your plea when you come to
trial only are whack with stalkers victims the way?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Who have you think I'm a stalking killer?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Ah, you're crazy.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
You don't have to stalk a Why didn't you fire
on us just now?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Because I didn't know you were the police. I just
heard the whispers night, saw people snooping around outside.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
And why didn't you run in here after staring at
that woman across the street.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I didn't stare at any woman. I went in here
because this is where I live.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Those are pretty fair alibis, except that I saw you
with Eva Cronan earlier tonight and you were demanding money
from her.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Why shouldn't I ask her for money?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Iva Cronan is my sister, your assist? Yes? Now?
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Why can't I ask her for money? I'm prove my
father never let me anything.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
But Eva's still rich?
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Blackie, what's going on here? This guy isn't the stalker.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
He's just a dumb, frightened guy.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
He's not dumb, Paraday, he's smart. Maybe he's the smartest
killer we've ever run across.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
He can't prove he's a killer. The stalker's victims are
all dead. And if this fellow is Eva Croner's brother,
she'll admit it.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That him mean he.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Isn't the stalker.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Come to think of it, Iva Cronan never said this
guy was the stalker. But what are you gonna do?
Let him go? Of course not.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
I can hold him on suspicion for a while.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
To do that, I have something on the fire that
may cook this guy's goose. And I'm an extension for him, Charlie,
and I'm seeing him.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
I want to say something right now, Blackie, you're wasting
my time.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You're with me? A breatch. Hello, and miss Cronin. This
is Blackie.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Oh yes, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
What is it the police to court a man they
think is the stalker.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
He's the same guy who slugged me when I followed
you last night, Only he says he's your brother.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Oh he is my brother, Blackie. He's not a man
who kept staring at me.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
He's my brother.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
And all he wanted was the money. That's why I
didn't want you to follow me. This was strictly between
him and me.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Don't you see what did he want the money for?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
He had none and I have plenty. Why shouldn't I
give him money? He's my brother, is he?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
He's your brother? But he isn't broke.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
The police found thousands of dollars in his house, money
he took from his victims. He's a stoker, Miss Cronan.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
We know that, and so do you.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Yes, yes, Blackie, I knew it all the time. I
tried to help him, but I guess it didn't work.
You can't hate a girl for trying.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Can you?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Black to protect a killer? You most certainly can. That's all,
Miss Crolin. I'll see you in the morning in jail.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Miss Cronin's has held three Blackie, Thanks God anytime? What's
on my visit? Or most people it's five minutes. Well
I'm not most people. I may take a little longer
than that. Serg yourself, hell for me when you're leaving. Okay, hello,
Miss Crolan, it's you.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
What do you want here, Blackie? You caught my brother.
You hadn't put me here? Isn't that enough reason for
you to leave me alone?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Perhaps?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
But there are some things I don't know, and I
want to clear them up. But for instance, why did
you fit into all this?
Speaker 5 (23:50):
I knew my brother was a stalker. I wanted to
help him, so I pretended I was being stalked, and
if the police arrested my brother, I could deny he
was the man who was following me. Girl's own brother
wouldn't be talking her, would he.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
In this case? Yes? Incidentally, what you told me was
exactly what i'd imagine.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
When you gave me that phony address on Eastern Road,
I figured you were in on this somehow.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
I'd address wasn't phony. I told you where I was,
thirty two Eastern Road.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
You said thirty two thirty two. I was very clever
of you, now that I think of him. Later, you
could have said thought you were doing was repeating the number.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
The police hadn't found that money in my brother's house.
That's what I would have said. I wanted you to
be under the impression someone else was his talker. I
had to protect my brother, don't you seem Blackie.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
No, he was trying to get fifty thousand dollars from you.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
As I remember, I would have been glad to give
him that money. I would have gone anything to get
him out of town. I knew he was his talker.
I knew he must have had some money, but I
thought the money I gave him would be enough to
make him quit killing.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I honestly don't know how much money he did have.
Was crawn on, but you said the police the police
found it. Yes, I said that, but I did it
only so that you would talk.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
You did? How about you in jail? Was crown But
you shouldn't be too unhappy.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
And after all, you're practically the only living member of
the stock Club
Speaker 1 (25:32):
