Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
I have a journey into the rail from the strait
and kill him by I hope you will enjoy the
ship so that it will trill you a little and
kill you a little.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
So settle back, get a good grip on your nerve.
Where are we going?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
You'll find out when we get there.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
For your listening enjoyment, Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Dolla, Hammo,
did you call.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Me your guy Hamm of the local car? And I did?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
That's who I am.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
What do you want? I wanted when I could get
together with you and talk over the Breer dead?

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Which one was that?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
You know? Breyer? He died last week?

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Oh? What do you want to talk about?

Speaker 5 (00:51):
Impoor?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know?

Speaker 4 (00:52):
All over going home?

Speaker 3 (00:54):
I'm investigated from his insurance company. They aren't convinced that
he died a natural debt.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
What do they think they know about it?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
They received a letter from someone here in town who
said they weren't quite sure. I'm sorry I can't tell
you that right now, but I'd like.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
To go over the case with him case as far
as I'm concerned, I'm busy with other work.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Hi, I'm miss Townel. I'll have to start from someplace else.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Edmund O'Brien and a transcribed adventure of the Man with
the action packed expense account America's populous freelance insurance investigator,
Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Spenser account submitted by Special Investigator

(01:51):
Johnny Dolla to home office, Great Eastern Insurance Company, Hortford, Connecticut.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
The following is an accounting.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Of expenditures during my investigation of the Neil Bria mat
expense account Item one two hundred and thirty five dollars
airfan incidentals between Hartford and my destination. In compliance with
the company's request, I will not make that city in
a state a matter of this record, and I will
leave it up to the company will strike the true
names of the people involved. My first personal contact was

(02:19):
the man whose letter had set off the investigation, doctor
Henry Richards. We met in his office secretly that evening
after his nurse had gone home.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
I'm sorry to admit, mister Dollar, that there have been
moments when I regretted writing that letter. I have a
wife and the son and a practice to think about.
This is a small town, and I could be banished
for stirring up a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Both the company and I understand, doctor Richards, and we
want you to know that your letter and everything you
tell me will be kept in strict confidence if Neil
Brig's death was due to natural causes. If it wasn't,
of course the letter and my report will do you
no harm. Yes, I see you have nothing to worry about.
I'll be the villain. As a matter of fact, I
think I am one already. I talked to you, o,
Karna Hamel. You told him why you were here.

Speaker 7 (03:02):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
The only way for me to handle this is to
stay out in the open with him and everyone else.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I make a fool of myself. I'll take a late
train out of town. You told him you received a letter, Yes,
but not from whom.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
You're sure he doesn't suspect me. He didn't sound like
he did. There's no reason for him too.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Is there? You issued the death certificate, didn't you? Yes? Yes,
I did tell me about prayer. How already?

Speaker 6 (03:22):
He was twenty six? He was taken seriously ill at work.
Where did he work? He was part owner of a
service station. I was called there that morning. He was
in a coma when I arrived. But Burcher described his
convulsions to me. Bercher is his business partner, Yes, Wesley Burcher.
He described the convulsions quite clearly. It sounded as though
they were the result of a violent heart attack. I

(03:43):
want you to understand, mister Dollar, a heart condition could
have caused the symptoms he described and his condition. When
I got there, I called for an ambulance, but he
was dead before it arrived.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Do you know his medical history, doctors, Yes, yes I do.
He's been coming to me for a number of years.

Speaker 6 (03:57):
I was the attended position at the high school during
his junior and senior years. He was a classmate of
my son Alan, and he and a number of the
others continued to come to me.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Bircher, for one.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
Did Breer have trouble with his hand? Yes, there had
been a condition, but it wasn't serious at his age.
I told him that he'd have to be careful when
he reached a certain age.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
But I was stunned at his death.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
I hesitated as long as I could before I signed
the death certificate. But as I told you, if I'd
refuse to sign it, I don't think it's fair to
ask a private physician to take that responsibility.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
I don't either, but it seems to me the way
we run things. What else might have caused his death?

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Doctor?

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Obviously a poison yes, is me hmm, it's a metallic poisonism. Yes,
how fast does it work?

Speaker 6 (04:44):
Twenty to forty grains would be a fatal dose and
from ten to thirty minutes, and.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
The sentence could have been those described by this purchure.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yes, convulsion commane Brea is buried here in town.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yes, what are you going to do? You want to
arrange for an artap, saying I don't know how you'll
do that. I'm going to ask you to play one
more part in this, and then I won't invother you anymore.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
You haven't told anyone about the letter you wrote us? No, no,
not even my family.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
All right, I'll come tomorrow morning, when your nurse will
be a witness. I'll demand that you show me Brier's
medical history, and I'll go to the coroner and ask
for an autopsy.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
I know I started it, but I don't like it. Now.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Believe me, doctor, you have nothing to worry about, and
you wouldn't have started it if you didn't want to
see the right thing done.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
True. Yes, Yes, I'll see you in the morning.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
I made my appearance at the doctor's office the next morning,
was unpleasantly efficient with his nurse went through Brier's medical
history and proceeded to the coroner's office. The fact that
he held that public office had nothing to do with
mister Guy Hamil's personality. He was close to fifty and
it had taken years to develop it. If he'd been
a banker or anything else, I'm sure he would have

(05:53):
been the same. I caught him as he came out
of his office. I told you yesterday I was busy
with other business, I know, but I hope you might
spend just a minute or two.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Why didn't you call for an appointment? That's what I
was doing yesterday when you told me you were too busy, Well,
I am. Why don't you come back tomorrow sometime? It
would be faster to go to the state police, mister Hamill, Well,
why don't you do that? Then?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
I want to play fair with it. I don't want
to go on ahead unless I have to. I'll keep
you from your lunch only a middle or two. Well,
all right, come on, you've got a lot of nerve,
you know, saying these things to me. Maybe you're right,
but I'm being paid to say then and a lot more.
Right now, I'm going to ask you to have prey
his body exhumed, have an autopsy performed. So you're an

(06:35):
investigator from an insurance company in Hartford, Well, I think
it's time you brushed up on municipal law.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
As a coroner, I'm required.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
By law to hold an in quest and order autos
say when there is reasonable ground to suspect that the
disease suffered a violent or unnatural death, or died suddenly
from some unknown car.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, it's a perfect quote.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
The beer died as a result of a heart attack,
and the competent doctor is should assigned the certificate to that.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Do you have reasonable ground? Yes?

Speaker 3 (07:02):
The letter I told her about reasonable in the fact
it said that Preyer was young and healthy and that
there was a reasonable question about his dying of heart attack.
If this person presume to know as much about Preyer
as his doctor as much, maybe how familiar are you
with poisons?

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Have you been trained to diagnose their symptoms and so on?

Speaker 3 (07:19):
No, I haven't. I rely on the attendant doctors to
inform me. I'm not blaming it for that, but has
it ever occurred to you that every practicing position is
not an expert toxicologist. The study of poisons is almost
a science in itself. It's not my job to check
up on the doctors which signed ges certificates.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
And what's just about poison.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
There is a poison that, while it's killing, is the
same symptoms as a heart attack. I'm adding that to
the letter the insurance company received to me. That adds
up to reasonable grounds for suspicion. You know, I think
your heart is in the right place. I don't go
for this poppycock, but I can see how you would
get upset. It's not me, it's the insurance company that
doesn't like even the possibility that murder of suicide can

(08:01):
be committed and changed off to death by natural causes
simply because a doctor sunds a death certificate. Now do
I get my autopsy cacious closed? No matter what you say,
I think it's the law fueling preyers. Survivors will feel
the same way as father and widow. I don't know
you can go ahead if his survivor demanded an autopsy
and I don't think they're fools enough to then I'll

(08:22):
accept that as reasonable suspicion and I'll order an autopsy.
That's good enough, and if you talk them into it,
you're going to be held responsible. As far as I'm concerned. Now,
I'd like to eat my lunch, if you don't mind.
I spent the rest of the day in the Hall
of Records and pouring overall newspapers in the high school

(08:42):
yearbook of Neil Breus's graduation. By that evening, I had
a fair picture of the boy's background. He'd been a
hard working student, a good athlete. He developed with a classmate,
Paula Wilson, less than a month after they left school,
and since then he had lived a completely average small
town life. There would be no reason for suspicion except
for the doctor's letter and his statement to me, So

(09:02):
I kept that foremost in my mind, and after a
six thirty dinner, I want to pay a call on
Brea's widow, an attractive girl who turned.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
To Nash and Gray when I told her why i'd come.

Speaker 7 (09:12):
Why Why would anyone say such a thing?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
I don't know, Missus Breyer, unless they had reason to
believe it.

Speaker 7 (09:18):
Believe what I don't understand. Why should anyone think Neil
died from poison?

Speaker 3 (09:23):
I want to see doctor Richards this morning. I demanded
that he show me your husband's medical record. There was
a hard condition, but it shouldn't have been fatal, not
at his age.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
Nobody told me fleely be alone.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
I can't missus, Breer, and after coming this farm, learning
what I've learned, I can't stop until an autopsy has
performed and I learned the truth.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Whichever way it goes, No, it would be much easier
for all of us. I think if you're help me, No.

Speaker 7 (09:49):
I won't ununderstand it. You can't ask me.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
To go through it all again. I'd hoped you'd want
to know the truth yourself. I know the truth Neil did,
and there's something I can do, but nothing to leave
you alone.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Please go away and leave you alone.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Neil Grey's father ran a small grocery store with living
quarters above. At first meeting, I hope form all cooperation
from him. He evidently had a calmra acceptance of that.
You should have come to me first. I could have
told you about paula grief et honest. After a person's dead,
the person's alive and suffering, then it's honest. But after

(10:36):
a person's dead, you ain't really feeling grief for them,
you're feeling.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
It for yourself. I suppose you've got a pointless prayer.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
I made up my mind to that after Neil's mother died,
And some people think it's cruel. I suppose, But at
a time like that, the big problem a dying, it's
living on.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Mister Prayer.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
After what I've told you, would you request and not?
Some saying no, no, I won't. Don't you want to
be sure why your sun died? I am satisfied he
had heart trouble.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
We all knew it. I described a possible poison to you.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
There'd be no.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Way for Neil to get it.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh, I know about insurance to I don't like what's
behind what you're saying, and I'm not going to take
no part in bringing up things that are finished.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
What do you think is behind what I'm saying? I
know about New's.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
New insurance policy, and I know about suicide clauses. You
think my son took his own life, and I tell
you he didn't.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
You're wrong, mister Brayer.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Would be stupid to unfay anything like that, not knowing
because of death.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
And that's all I want to know. What made your
son die, and.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
I told you I'm satisfied how he died. He's beyond
this world now and I won't have him brought back.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Keeterown three twelve men.

Speaker 7 (11:57):
Yes, Oh, mister doll, you've had a couple of calls,
the last one just a minute ago.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Oh, thanks, No name man?

Speaker 4 (12:05):
No, sir?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Who took the calls? Please?

Speaker 7 (12:07):
I did? He don't have a regular phone operator?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
H this gentleman. What did he say?

Speaker 7 (12:13):
Why he asked for you? No? The first time he
asked if you were registered here and had me ring
your room. Then he called back a minute ago. He
seemed awfully upset.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Did you ask his name?

Speaker 7 (12:22):
Yes, but he said, never mind, I'll call back.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Could you tell anything about the boys, like whether it
was an old man or a young man?

Speaker 7 (12:30):
Well, i'd say it was young, yes, young and almost hysterical.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah, here's my card an ID. Yes, and this man
calls again. I want you to listen to the conversation.
Oh you won't. Maybe over a legal matter. I'd like
to have a witness. I can't pay for your help,
because paid witness is no good with a healthy.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Sure, it's all right, it is, that's a promise.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Thanks, I'll go right up to my room.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
All music in just a moment.

Speaker 8 (13:05):
But now I'd like to say this to the young
women between the ages eighteen to thirty four. If you've
been wondering how you can help out in America's fight
for freedom and liberty, investigate the many important jobs now
open in the Women's Army Corps. It is again an
important part of our team for the fence. Get complete
information at your local.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
Army recruiting station.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
And now back to the music.

Speaker 8 (13:27):
Here's a request from a certain party over on Oak
Street who signer knows rents.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
She wants to dedicate this.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
You don't know who this is, mister Donald, but you've
got to listen to me. You've got to stop what
you're doing in leave time, because there's no reason for
you to be here. You're hurting people, You're trying to
cause a lot of trouble that there's no reason for
You've got to stop. For you, it doesn't make any difference.
You've got to stop, that's all. There's no reason for
you to be here.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
The fact that you call like this and won't give
me a name makes me wonder if there isn't more
reason than I thought.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
You've got to stop. I don't want you to hurt
these people.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I'm warning you, warning, I'm warning you.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
If you don't stop, you're going to be hurt.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Hello.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
Hello, broke connection, Sir, I was the same.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Man, and you heard him warn me.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
I heard him?

Speaker 5 (14:14):
All right?

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Good, Now would you get me the home phone number
of Karna Guy Hammel m h. And now, with our

(14:37):
star Edmond O'Brien, we bring you the second back of yours, truly,
Johnny Dollar. Yes, Dollmas Hammo oh, Yes, good morning. I

(15:05):
suppose you feel pricky this morning, and then I felt
yesterday afternoon. I can tell you that. And I suppose
you've got a right the toxicologists on his way from
the state capital. The body will be ready for him
and his helpers when they get here. I hope you
understand that I couldn't do anything.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
But what I did. Yeah, sure, I know.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
All I have to go by is the death certificate
about something like that phone call?

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Who comes up? And then I can move.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
I suppose you never thought of it, But your position,
and out of a big share of the khanas in
the country, is pretty much the same as the position
of the insurance companies and all they've got to go on?
Is the certificate to doctor signs won the company meets
the claim. Nobody eleven know how many poisonings have been
shoked off the natural causes, not because the doctor isn't
sincere as a rule, but because he has not had the

(15:49):
training to rate the responsibility of making the decision. Well,
it's nine thirty. Those men from the Capitol should be
here in an hour or less. I guess i'd better
see you that already for them. You want to be
on hand? Oh, thanks, Corner. I'll leave my name number
with the clerk if you haven't phoned me when they're through.

Speaker 7 (16:06):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
I'd boned up on it enough to know that a
metallic poison such as bismine would leave traces in spite
of embalming, where other types would be impossible to detect.
I also knew approximately the tests and analyzes they would
have to make, and I didn't think it would take
experts very long.

Speaker 9 (16:26):
It didn't.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
At two o'clock that afternoon, the results will phone me. Hello,
doctor Richard, speaking is Johnny Dalla doctor?

Speaker 5 (16:40):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yes, what is it?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
You should feel proud of yourself. Sir Neil Brier's death
was caused by Bisney.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
What's that an analysis was made. I didn't know anything
about it.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
It was kept under cover. A man from the state
capital came over. They just finished.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Well, and my instinct to write the letter was sold.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Certainly was and I hope you get the credit you deserve.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
But at least you and I meet in public tonight.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
I'd like to, but I can't promise. Actually, this case
has just started for me. Of course I should have
thought of that, and I am right back to you
for help again. Certainly about the availability of bisman, where
could pre have gotten a hold of?

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Sam?

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Very small amounts of it are used in the treatment
of certain plot disorders. It's not a common drug by
any means. I really don't know where a layman would
get it.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Okay, well, all right, thanks doctor, of course.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Good luck.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Call me if there's anything I can do.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
The inquest was not to be held until the following morning,
but I asked for and got permission to start my
investigation before the formal pronouncement of the jury.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
We all knew what.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
It would be death self inflicted of either hand of
person or person's unknown. Miss Kelly Sam's ley to work
to David when he gets here, I'll send it right over.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yes, thank you, mister Dowry. You did it, didn't you.
I'm sorry, but at this point I'm hardly the one
to blame him.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
I I blame you for tearing up our lives again.
It was better before, No matter what. Sometimes ignorance is
more merciful than knowing things.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'm afraid I can't agree with that. I don't make
no difference. We know, and we'll have to take the
things that come with it.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
You mentioned suicide yesterday, mister Brayer, did you have any
reason other than being angry with insurance companies and me?

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Not?

Speaker 2 (18:37):
No definite one, nothing? He told me? What reason? Then?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Kneel and me weren't very close, hadn't been for quite
a time.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
I didn't like his marrying that girl the way he did,
and he knew it. What do you mean the way
he did, running off.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Her barely the age of consent, and he him not
much older. I told him they was ashamed to tell
their parents because they knew it wasn't decent.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Haven't they been? I'm not sure either way.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Neil didn't come home much and he wouldn't tell me anyhow,
but he's been his partner, young Wes Bircher come to
talk to me, asked me what was ailing? Neil said
something was he was down in the mouth.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
All the time. And on the strength of that, you
mentioned suicide to me.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
You know, when I learned you was an insurance man
after something, and then you talked about poison.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's when I.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Figured you thought it was sewish hid on account of
that new policy he took out.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
It was very much. Is it all right? Mister Brayer?
Other down and saw Towest.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Purcher Bruce talking about Oh sure, I went have to
see him. I dropped by the store and buy a
packed cigarettes once in a while.

Speaker 9 (19:47):
When did this happen about Neil? Anyway, this thing about.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Poison yesterday and I assumed his body and made some
tests good. I just can't believe it. And his dad
talking about suicide. Nothing seems to make.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Sense to me.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
And you don't think he was depressed about his marriage, well,
not depressed exactly. Then what I said to his dad
was that Neil didn't seem to be interested in anything anymore.
We used to go honey and fishing. He loved it,
but the past year maybe less well, he just lost interest.
But I never said had anything to do with his

(20:22):
marriage to Paula told me, well, he's wrong. I never
talked to him about her about their marriage because I
know that he was just against it.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
What do you think was wrong with Neil?

Speaker 9 (20:33):
Well, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (20:34):
No.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
After he died, I figured it was because he'd been sick.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
I felt terrible about how hard he worked around here,
and except that he never said anything about it. I
was hair flaming myself. But now with this stuff about poison,
I just don't know what to say. You realize how
serious this is now. If it wasn't suicide, was it
was murdered? Yeah, that's right, isn't it Everything you told
me I just never thought about that.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Was there something wrong with Neil's marriage?

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Well, I know it's tough because to tell me you
have to talk about friends that you've known for a
long time. But the truth has to come out. I'm
not the only one that'll question you. Was well, I
don't mind talking. I don't think anything I say will
mean anything. Everybody will tell you the same thing. There
wasn't one person in our graduating class that thought Paula
and Neil should have gotten married. Why because it was

(21:23):
also one sided. Neil had chased her all through school
and Paula just sort of laughed at him. After they
were married, they used to come over and spend the
evening with my wife and me, and well, even then
you got the idea.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
That it wasn't quite right.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
The only time paul ever got interested is when we
got talking about we were in school.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Why did they get married?

Speaker 7 (21:44):
Was?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Oh, Paula. And everybody knows this.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Paula's strong will and the guy that you really liked
in school had to go to medical college. She didn't
want him to go away, and when he told her
he had to go, she just got sore. She threw
herself at Neil. They ran away and.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Got married, and you think he knew that.

Speaker 9 (22:04):
Maybe not what he should have, but he must have
fought out. He never said anything like I said. He
didn't seem depressed, more like he was always trying to,
you know, get her alone. Gosh, I don't know. Maybe
he did do something, maybe finally gave up.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
And who is this other guy is he's still here
in town?

Speaker 9 (22:26):
Yeah, yeah, he's here for the summer.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
He's how Riches Alan.

Speaker 9 (22:30):
Richards, Yeah, Doc Richard's son.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
They went to get all through school. But she just
told him that she wouldn't wait for him, for he
had to go away. She sounds spoiling. I suppose you're telling.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Me what happened here? The Daniel died.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
According to Virtue, nothing unusual that happened that day. They'd
opened their place at seven point thirty. They hadn't worked
unusually hard. They've taken a break at about nine, and
Neil Brie had been taken ill about twenty five minutes later,
and as I'd heard, he was dead not long after that.
These people didn't fit into a picture of murder. None
of the innocent ones had suspected it for a minute,

(23:05):
But it was murder.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
I didn't have any proof of it when I had left.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
The service station, but I thought I had answers to
a lot of questions. The solution was pathetically simple, Hello
is prayer friend, I'll have to boley again.

Speaker 7 (23:28):
What do you want? Haven't you caused enough trouble?

Speaker 2 (23:31):
The trouble started before I came here. I come in Hi.

Speaker 7 (23:39):
They called me about the inquest.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I told you yesterday that it would be easier if
you'd help me get one.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
You didn't say it had to be done without you.
Now that I've learned your husband was murdered, there wasn't murdered.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
How do you know that?

Speaker 7 (23:51):
I didn't. I know that no one would murder him,
there'd be no reason to.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
How do you think he died?

Speaker 7 (23:58):
I don't know. If this story about poison is true,
he must have taken it himself.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Why do you think he would have done that?

Speaker 3 (24:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
I've talked to people. I know more about you and
Neil than you think I do.

Speaker 7 (24:09):
Right, I didn't love him.

Speaker 9 (24:11):
He knew I could never love him.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
That's why he committed suicide.

Speaker 7 (24:15):
I don't know. He asked me why it would We
weren't happy.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Why didn't you get a divorce?

Speaker 7 (24:20):
I don't know. We didn't want to. There are only
certain grounds in this state.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
You aren't cut out for this part, missus Breer?

Speaker 9 (24:28):
What part?

Speaker 2 (24:29):
How quick answers? You're scared, stiff?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
I didn't you start to say that you wanted a
divorce and then you thought better than no, I didn't.
What you meant is that he wouldn't give you a
divorce no matter what you did isn't no.

Speaker 7 (24:39):
No, that isn't what I meant?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
What then?

Speaker 7 (24:41):
What I said?

Speaker 2 (24:42):
What about Alan Richards?

Speaker 7 (24:44):
What about him?

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Neil wouldn't divorce you, and you just had to get
away from him, isn't that right?

Speaker 7 (24:48):
I don't know what you're saying. Neil's heart?

Speaker 3 (24:51):
He said, Why don't you tell me you married him
on impulse? You knew you shouldn't have.

Speaker 7 (24:57):
You talked to Alan?

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (24:59):
I have.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
What did he say?

Speaker 2 (25:00):
He told me last night you want me to leave town.

Speaker 7 (25:02):
No? No, you talked to him today? He told you.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
You tell me you're a part of it.

Speaker 7 (25:06):
It's a lost isn't it. You know, don't you?

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:10):
I think I do.

Speaker 7 (25:10):
We couldn't help it. Al came home for Christmas vacation
and it started all over again. I love him, I love.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Him, so said. We couldn't help it.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
I wanted to get into force, new wouldn't It was
his fault too.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
This was near Christmas.

Speaker 7 (25:30):
He told me he knew why I married him, and
he'd never let me go.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
He told me I deserved it for doing what I
did to him.

Speaker 7 (25:38):
I thanked him.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Did he know why you wanted to leave him?

Speaker 5 (25:41):
No?

Speaker 7 (25:42):
Nobody knew. Everybody forgot about Alan and me. We were careful,
but we knew we had to do something.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Alan was studying to be a doctor like his father,
wasn't he.

Speaker 7 (25:54):
It's my father should have waited for him.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
He decided on the poison.

Speaker 7 (26:00):
Oh, yes, it was all going to work, Neils Hard.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
No one would ever.

Speaker 7 (26:06):
Ask a question what was my fault? It was my fault.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
The rest of it I gave to the police.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
The fact that the uncommon poison was available to a
medical student, was administered.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
By way of a vacuum bottle of coffee. After that
I left town.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Expense count item too miscellanius eighty six dollars and seventy
cents item free, same as item on transportation back to
Hartford expensive count total of five hundred and fifty six dollars.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
And seventy cents.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Remarks I hope the company will understand my not going.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Back to doctor Richards a doctor and doubt about a
death certificate. Calling on the interested insurance company for confidential
help is a splendid idea, but in this case the
doctor's son was an accomplice to murder.
