I don't understand, you know me, mister Callen Joe Wickoff.
I was on my way home from the plant, running home. Boy, No,
I wasn't. Bullets were flying around here. Somebody killed that
man in the car.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Sure, somebody, are you crazy?

Speaker 5 (02:12):
Is something I had nothing to do with it? Ask anybody?

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Ask who?

Speaker 3 (02:16):
For instance, boy, there wasn't anybody else on the street
when I have turned the corner.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Well, how about these buildings around here? He could have
been shot from one of them.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
That's right, he could have. But you better stick around anyway, boy.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
That's how it started, just walking along Huney.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
All of a sudden, bang bang in a half hour later,
the cops have me in the s room at headquarters.
No rubber hose, none of that kind of stuff. Just
where did I hide the gun? Where did I hide
the gun? Where did I hide the gun? And I
keep telling them I don't even known the gun. All
the time, I know they got nothing on me, that
they're playing a long shot, but just the same, I'm scared,

(02:57):
murder rap who wouldn't be scared? Finally, bast a couple
hours they let me go. Callen, the cop that nabbed me,
was standing on the sidewalk outside wereware. Look, mister Callan,
I wanted to tell you and I know you were
just doing your duty and there's no hard feelings.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Know so much. Why don't you sound off inside headquarters.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
I'm just a neighborhood cop, a beat man. But even
the beat man gets a good idea once in a while.
What are you holding back? Boy?

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Nothing, mister Callen, nothing, I tell you.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Bad business, lying to the police.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
I'm not lying.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Who on home boy? Talk it over with your wife.
Maybe she's got some sense.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Bella, My wife would some sense that was funny. Only
Callen didn't know.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
Bella's like a friendly kitten, pretty unlovable, full of fun.
Oh bell I could think was g Her husband's name
was in the evening paper.

Speaker 9 (04:17):
Look Joe right here on page twenty seven. The only
witness to the murder was Joseph I wickeoff. They misspelled
it only one f wouldn't you think they'd know better,
Joseph I wake off a truck driver on his way
home from word. The victim has not yet been I identified.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
The guy that got killed.

Speaker 6 (04:42):
The cops don't know who he was. No papers on
the body, and his face was full of bullet holes.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Terrible.

Speaker 9 (04:49):
The police expect to make an arrest within twenty four hours.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
Huh, it says so right here, A professional job like
that is going to take the cops more than twenty
four hours to pin down.

Speaker 9 (05:02):
I don't understand professional.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
A hired gunman steps off a train from Detroit to someplace,
He fires a couple of shots and takes the next
train back.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
No clues, nothing. Oh well, then, oh let's forget it
a while, will you, Honey? I don't feel like talking.

Speaker 9 (05:15):
About it, all right, Joey, okay, you sick or something. Joey,
you're all jumpy.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
You didn't need hardly any.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
Supper, right, I've got no appetite. Lots of times I'm
like that, No, no appetite.

Speaker 9 (05:30):
It's a shame. All that good spaghetti going to waste. It's, Joey,
what we ought to celebrate your name in the paper.
Let's go out dance in some way.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
I'm tired.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Bella bushed, Gee.

Speaker 8 (05:45):
We never go out anymore.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Some other time, Bella.

Speaker 9 (05:48):
That's what I mean, all jumpy.

Speaker 6 (05:51):
I'm sorry, bell I shouldn't have yelled off like that.
Those cops this afternoon. They got me upset.

Speaker 9 (05:57):
Oh honey, I don't blame you. Be enough said, they
got that new practically saying you killed a fella.

Speaker 6 (06:04):
You can't blame the cops, Bella. They know they got
their work cut out and they ain't missing any bets.
They're trying to advance themselves too.

Speaker 9 (06:10):
But you've never been in trouble before. You think that'd
be enough for them.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
Well, the only thing is I have been in trouble.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Back in New York before I met you. I did
a stretch in prison. You.

Speaker 6 (06:27):
Yeah, there was nothing, very much rob in the grocery store,
the kind of crazy things young guys do.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Jewey, you never told me early you spend a year
with the bad boys.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
You certainly don't hire a skywrider to tell people about it, Bella.

Speaker 9 (06:40):
But i'm your wife, Juy.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
I wanted to tell you, and I would have.

Speaker 9 (06:45):
What I don't understand.

Speaker 6 (06:47):
Sure, sure, Bella, but lots of times you talk without thinking, Honey,
I was scared you might let it slip.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Oh.

Speaker 9 (06:56):
I never would have blabbed them out about a thing
like that, Joey, you know that.

Speaker 8 (07:01):
Did you tell a police Joy?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
No?

Speaker 6 (07:04):
No, They asked me did I have a record, and
I said no. Oh golly, maybe I shouldn't have lied.
I don't know, but I was rattled. I'm still rattled.

Speaker 8 (07:13):
Well will they find out anyway?

Speaker 6 (07:14):
I don't see how they didn't book me this afternoon.
So well there's no fingerprints.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
To check with.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
Oh well, then, well the calendar comp I told you about.
He worries me.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
He's the one he knows I got something on my mind,
and he keeps needling needle. You know how it would
look guy with a record spotted near the murder and
calend mister.

Speaker 9 (07:38):
Got plenty other things on his mind. In a couple
of days, he'll forget all about.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
You, you think, so, Bella?

Speaker 9 (07:44):
I sure, And I'm supposed to be the dopey one
around here.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
I got to think, and maybe Bella was right.

Speaker 6 (07:58):
Maybe it was just another side street killing. It wouldn't
a mount to a hill, have beans. I might even
have had a good night's sleep if we hadn't stayed
up for the late news broadcast.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
An obscure murder lost in the back pages of tonight's
papers will be headlined on page one tomorrow morning. The
victim has been identified as Willoughby Roberts, feature reporter of
the News Gazette, and that newspaper has already posted a
ten thousand dollars award for information leading to the arrest
of the killer, Willoughby Roberts. It was revealed Tonight had
been engaged in an undercover investigation of the county's illegal

(08:30):
gambling palaces. Today, President Truman made an address.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
To my luck, My luck, ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
Every cop in town will be out for that reward
if they find out about my record that we do Bella.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
What am I gonna do? There was nothing I could
do but wait and pray that the cops would let
me alone. Next morning, I went to work, same as usual.
All day long, I set behind the wheel of my truck,
trying to act like nothing was wrong. Finally I went
back to the plant. Hugo. He was the boss of

(09:09):
US truckers.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
He had left word for me to see him in
his office.

Speaker 10 (09:13):
Come in, sit down, Joe. Oh, I'm not supposed to
tell you, Joe, but you're in trouble, bad trouble.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (09:24):
A copp in here all afternoon pomping me.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Was his name, Callen.

Speaker 10 (09:27):
He didn't mention no name. Thick neck, hard eyes all
the time. Looks like he's smiling at something. He don't
think he's funny that his wick Off a friend of
Pigeon Watts.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
He asks me, and I tell Jijon Watts.

Speaker 10 (09:39):
The gambler, the big gambler. He owns that place outside
of town, the pigeon coop, the reporter, the guy that
was killed. He was working on Pigeon Watts. The cops
figure the pigeon paid someone to do the job.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Maybe you now, I don't know any Pigeon Watts.

Speaker 10 (09:55):
What I told this cop this callon, Joe wick Off
mixed up with gamblers, I said, don't make me laugh.
He can't even beat his wife and Jin Rummy and
anybody that can't beat Bella Jin Rummy.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Thanks, thanks you all slowed him, slowed.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Him down a little.

Speaker 7 (10:10):
Joe.

Speaker 10 (10:12):
Now comes the bad part.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Go ahead.

Speaker 10 (10:17):
This copy went nosing around the trucker's locker room. He
found a gun. Joe, where in the box for dirty
towels near where you keep your stuff?

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Was it the gun?

Speaker 10 (10:29):
No, it wasn't the one he was looking for, not
the one that did the killing. But it makes things
look bad for you. Now, look you all I'm telling
is what he said, Joe. What Callan said. He said,
at the headquarters, you swore up and down. You didn't
own a gun, and when he found this one in
the locker room, he he said, it makes things look
bad for you.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Bad Joe.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
All the truck has used that room, but right away
it's my gun. Why didn't he ask the other guys
who did?

Speaker 2 (10:56):
He did? Ask Joe? They all say no.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
Well, so do I say no? Why does Callen believe
the other guys are not me?

Speaker 1 (11:02):
I asked him that.

Speaker 10 (11:03):
He said, well, he said the other guys didn't do
a stretch in the jailhouse.

Speaker 6 (11:11):
Uh so we found out already. It's true that Joe. Yeah, yeah,
it's true.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
What am I gonna do? Joe?

Speaker 5 (11:26):
I don't know what you mean. I don't get it.
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 10 (11:29):
These trucks? Sometimes the cargo is valuable. What am I
gonna do?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Joe?

Speaker 6 (11:37):
Yesterday I'm your best friend. Today I'm an ex con.
I might steal a monkey.

Speaker 10 (11:42):
Rah My guy got the owner's to answer to Joe.
Suppose you were me, Suppose you had a driver you like,
but it turned out he had a record.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
What would you do, same thing you're going to do.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
There are other jobs.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
All kinds of jobs for a next con, A murder suspect, babysitting.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Maybe don't do anything crazy, please, Joe. Well, suppose you
were me, what would you do?

Speaker 10 (12:10):
I'd go out and get drunk. But I ain't a
married man. Bella will need you, Joe. She's not having
any picnic.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
Does she know what's been going on?

Speaker 10 (12:18):
Well, the cop was heading for your apartment when he
left here, so I called Bella to.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
Well, just a call her in case there's any evidence
to hide? Was that it? Oh, Joe, my buddy, my
trusting buddy.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Don't feel that way, Joe, What way.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
Do you expect me to feel? It's me honey? You
are right, oh joy.

Speaker 9 (12:50):
I didn't felt scared, Joey.

Speaker 8 (12:53):
Mister Callan, he only just left. It was awful.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
I take it easy, honey, take it. Everything will be
all right if you'll just take it easy to me?

Speaker 9 (13:00):
Did you know pigeon wat? And I kept saying no
one all the time. I had these things in my pocket.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
Things.

Speaker 9 (13:05):
I was afraid them.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
It was awful, Joey, what things?

Speaker 9 (13:10):
Well, these the chips do whatever you call.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
Them, but these are gambling chips.

Speaker 9 (13:15):
I found him in your bureau drawer just before mister
Callan came. They all got a pigeon marked on him,
and I figured you wouldn't want nobody to see him,
so I hit him in my pocket.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute. I don't get this.
It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 8 (13:27):
I'm not kind of the buried on him. The pigeon.

Speaker 9 (13:29):
I knew right away you must have got him at
pigeon Wat's gambling house, so I hit him.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
I never saw them before. Never.

Speaker 9 (13:36):
Oh we better drop them down a sewer or someplace
where nobody will find them.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
Bella, look, listen to me. I never saw them before.
Oh you believe me, Bella? Don't sure?

Speaker 8 (13:49):
Sure?

Speaker 9 (13:49):
I believe you.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Bella?

Speaker 5 (13:52):
Why were you looking at my biddle? I?

Speaker 8 (13:55):
Oh, don't ask me that.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
Why, Bella? Why were you looking?

Speaker 8 (13:58):
Please?

Speaker 9 (13:58):
Joey, don't, oh listen, it's raining, Why all right, Joey.
It was on account of all the crazy things that
have been happening, like about you haven't been in jail.
And then Hugo, your best friend. He sounded so funny
over the phone, and he said, they found a gun

(14:19):
in your.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Locker near my locker, not even near near.

Speaker 9 (14:24):
Then I was scared mister Callan might find something else
when he got here, so I searched all through the
apartment and you.

Speaker 5 (14:30):
Found these tips from Pigeon watches joint.

Speaker 8 (14:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (14:33):
Oh, you think I'm mixed up in this murder, don't you?

Speaker 8 (14:38):
No, Joey, No, it's just that I don't know what
to think.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
What does that mean?

Speaker 11 (14:44):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (14:45):
I guess I'm kind of dumb, like you're always kidding me.

Speaker 8 (14:52):
Crazy things happening.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
I don't know what to think first telling then you going?

Speaker 8 (14:59):
Now you see you're sore, Joey. I can tell just
by looking at you you're sore, clean through.

Speaker 6 (15:07):
Yeah, I'm no, No, Bella. Maybe it's better you're honest
than I know where I stand. But maybe it's good.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
I'm so. Maybe now I'll get off the dime. After
then I'm Joey Bella. I want you to listen to me. Now,
did you go out to day, Bella? Did you go
out at all for shopping or anything?

Speaker 9 (15:25):
Just a few minutes at noon I went into talking
missus Minnellian for Jesus Gavin.

Speaker 6 (15:31):
Well, try to remember, now, did you leave the door
open the apartment door?

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (15:35):
I think so, and somebody could have sneaked in here
and planted these gambling chips while you were gone.

Speaker 9 (15:41):
I guess so sure, but who do a thing like that.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Somebody who wants a ten thousand dollars reward, somebody who
wants it bad enough to frame an innocent guy. Joey,
I'm a natural, I'm an ex Cohn. I happened to
be right there when the shots were fired. I would
be the who Who's I don't know who, but whoever
it is he got these chips from Pigeon Wats's joint.
Where are you going to have a talk with mister

(16:08):
Pigeon Watts. Maybe I can get some information out of
mister Pigeon Watts.

Speaker 8 (16:13):
I'm going with you.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
I thought I was so smart if I only hadn't
gone on with it, if I'd only just stayed there,
let the cops arrest me, convict me, burn me anything,
just so it wouldn't have ended up like it did.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Auto Light is bringing you, mister Danny kay in, I
never met the dead Man. Tonight's production and Radio's outstanding
theater brills suspense, and now Auto Light brings back to

(17:05):
our Hollywood soundstage, our star Danny kay and I never
met the dead Man. A tale well calculated to keep
you away in suspense.

Speaker 6 (17:17):
I was a lot more scared than I let Bella know.
When we drove through the rain of Pigeon wats His place,
I didn't know what to expect, so I told Bella
to stay in the car with the light's hut and the.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Motor running, and I started toward the door of the
gambling place.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
It looked more like a warehouse, an old, dirty warehouse. Yeah,
one of Watts's bounces finally opened out.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
He told me to beat it. On account of all the.

Speaker 6 (17:39):
Stuff in the papers, they were only letting in regulars people.
They were sure if you said Pigeon Wats wasn't seeing anybody.
And it began to get mean mad when I wouldn't
go away. I saw the flicker of brass knuckles coming
at me, but I didn't duck. I had to talk
to Wats, even if it meant getting my lumps first.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Right, Still feel like a hard guy.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
No, no, so, I'm not a hard guy. I just
want to see mister Wats a few minutes you're seeing them.
My name is wick Off, mister Watts.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Wick Off, you're the one that saw the reporter.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Get it, Yes, sir, just a second.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Nobody bothered me a while. All right, hard guy, what's on?
Your mind.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
Well, it's like this, mister Watts.

Speaker 6 (18:39):
And I told him the whole story, everything that had happened,
and he just sat there and looked at me, no
expression at all, just sat there and looked at me.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
It was like talking to a chair or something.

Speaker 6 (18:50):
In Even when I showed him the gambling chip's bell
had found in my bureau door, it didn't.

Speaker 5 (18:54):
Seem to mean anything to him.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Two bit chips for the piker trade. Anybody could have
walked out of here with a handful. Sorry, I can't
help you.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
I gotta have help the cop I told you about.
He really thinks I killed that reporter.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
I don't blame him. It's a good frame, that obvious
about it. Just little thing's pointing to you. A good frame,
all right, a very good frame.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
But I didn't do it, honest, I didn't know you didn't.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
There's nothing I can do to help.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Sorry, What makes you so sure I didn't kill the guy?

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Nothing I can do.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
I just asked why you're so sure I didn't kill him?

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Because I know who did, because I paid an out
of town talk Peter fifteen hundred rockets for the job. Well, well,
do you expect to tell that to the police.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
But you've gone to mister wants. I could get the
chair for this.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
So could I.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
It's you or me, then you won't do nothing.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
A tough break for you. Like I said, I'm sorry,
but that's the way the ball bounces.

Speaker 6 (19:48):
If you think I'm going to take this line down,
you're crazy. Maybe you're not so tough as you think.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
I've got a cup. Yeah, our friends getting hard again
outside with him Roy.

Speaker 5 (19:56):
I'm not going anywhere the man not no.

outside before Hey all right, yeah, shut.

Cars I'm staying right here.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
The cops ain't frameless Wick. They're pretty sure I pulled
me up for that killing. The only place they went wrong.
They figured I paid you for the job. They faced
this both before this, that they could have found any
connection between us. So what so this they nab used
together in this raid. It takes care of the connection.

Speaker 6 (20:39):
Right, hot guy, you got out of here, but how
the cops now i'd be here.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Whoever's framing you planted those chips so you'd come here,
even knew when you'd come. And he tipped off the
police a ten thousand dollars phone call. Yeah, yeah, I
beat it open the window, right yeah?
