1:27
of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, and this one isn't titled The Matter of Reasonable
1:33
Doubt Parts one and two from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dollar,
1:42
Ben Guardy, Johnny Amrican Northern Trust. Oh hi, Ben, what do
1:46
you hear from wall streets. Save your money, what money money I'm gonna
1:49
pay you for this case. I've got a crazy one, Johnny, so
1:52
naturally it's out of me. Nothing personal. Look, it's it's a trust
1:56
set up, cumulative endowment insurance writer. Big deal over a quarter million bucks,
2:00
maybe half a million from home to home from a Missus Ezra Grimley,
2:05
widow to her granddaughter Susan saw and Missus Grimley owns the Flint Rock branch in
2:09
Nevada. Never heard of it. Our representative out there is Jonas Parks.
2:13
He's a president of the Flint Rock for his national bank. Never heard of
2:15
it. It's a whistle stop about twenty miles from Las Vegas that I've heard
2:21
him. Park started the deal rolling and then he got cold feet. Now
2:23
he's yelling for help. Thinks the old lady may be crazy, I mean
2:28
literally, and there does seem to be a reasonable doubt. Unless Park's himself
2:31
is crazy. Well that's also a possibility, Johnny. Tonight and Every Weekday
2:44
Night, Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed
2:47
Expense Account, America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigators Turley Johnny Dollar from special Investigator Johnny
3:07
Dollar to the home office American Northern Trust Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The
3:12
following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the matter of reasonable doubt.
3:20
I had them one one hundred and fifty four dollars and forty cents transportation
3:23
and Incidental's Hartford to Las Vegas, Nevada, where I checked into a hotel,
3:27
and then phoned the local office of a national business and credit rating bureau
3:30
that my client retained on a permanent consulting basis. I asked for a rundown
3:34
on Jonas Parks and god its An a one set of references. Parks had
3:38
been a resident of Nevada for thirty two years and president of the Flint Rock
3:42
Bank for seventeen. He was regarded locally as a cautious investor, a prudent
3:46
financial advisor, scrupulously honest, and as sound as a dollar a silver dollar
3:53
crazy hardly. I had them two thirty two and fifty cents deposit in first
4:00
day's rental on a drive at yourself hired car mile age Las Vegas to Flint
4:05
Rock twenty three point six. Item I is building appraisal Flint Rock, three
4:10
bar casinos, all needing paint, one restaurant, one general store, barbershop,
4:15
garage, welding shop, railroad depot also needing paint, four dwellings,
4:19
and of course one bank. Jonas Parks President. What can I do for
4:26
you, young fellow? Well, my name is Dollar, mister Park's Johnny
4:28
Dollar. I'm a special investigator for American and i'm here in regard to the
4:31
Gramley Trust case. Well, I mighty glad to know you, miss Dollar,
4:35
and I don't mind telling you. I'm glad you got here. Oh
4:39
here, pull up chair, Okay, sit down. It's been a real
4:44
oad day. Funny looking clouds hanging off there toward the river. Yeah,
4:47
and understan, I'm driving out from town. Storm clouds, that's what they
4:50
are this term year jun in this neck of the woods. It can happen
4:55
anytime of the year. Cloudburst come up just like that, and they're over
5:00
just as fair. Oh that's very interesting. You're a hypocrite, young fellow.
5:03
What makes you think so? You didn't come clear across the country to
5:06
hear a dissertation on desert storm So stop sitting there trying to pretend you're interested.
5:12
Whatever you say, mister Parks. As matter of fact, you weren't
5:14
even half listening to me. No, as a matter of fact, I
5:16
wasn't. Well, what were you doing there, looking you over, sizing
5:19
you up? Come to any conclusions a couple such as well, in the
5:25
first place, I'm inclined to discard the theory that you're crazy. That what
5:29
they told you in Hartford the figure one of you is either you or missus
5:32
Gramley. They do eh, And what is your second conclusion, that you
5:38
were sitting there sizing me? You're right, I wasn't do any conclusions,
5:42
mister Parks. Yeah, one such as that we'll probably get along together,
5:46
alright, you and me. And suppose we got down the Gramley case.
5:53
I no wonder they thought what they did. Maybe they're right, Maybe we
5:56
are crazy, both of us. Well as I understand that missus Gramley wanted
5:59
to set up some kind of insured trust for her granddaughter. You started the
6:02
proceedings for her and then stop cold and call for help. Yes, it's
6:05
about what happened. Why was she financially unable to carry out there? Of
6:11
course she's able. I wouldn't need any outside help if that was the problem.
6:14
You've been banking with me for mighty near twenty years. Then is she
6:17
mentally incompetent? Sir gravely? Is this saying as well? At least I've
6:23
always figured she was. But confounded, mister Dollard, there's something wrong out
6:26
at that branch. What do you mean? I don't know what I mean?
6:30
Well, if you don't, I mean it's mostly things you can't put
6:32
your finger on, little things that add up finally add up to what.
6:36
I don't know. It's just a feeling, a kind of a hunch.
6:41
Is that what you mean? Yes, you want to put it that way,
6:44
So I brought you clear out here from Hartford on a hunch. Go
6:46
ahead say it. Relax, mister Park's relax. I've had hunches of my
6:49
own, and sometimes the horse has won. But I don't even know why
6:53
I think something is wrong? All right? What's the set about there at
6:57
the ranch? What's the background? Missus Gramley is a widow. Her husband
7:01
died about fourteen years ago, and she stayed on afterward and ran the ranch.
7:05
Of course, her son, Edney's wife were there with her until three
7:08
years ago and done most of the work, and they moved out three years
7:11
ago. No, they were killed in automobile accident. This girl, Susan
7:15
that Missus Gramley wanted to set up the trust for, is their daughter.
7:18
She's going on seventeen now. Then the two of them live there alone.
7:23
Oh No, there's another couple, Walter Gramley and his wife, Hilda.
7:26
Walter's Missus Gramley's nephew sort of manages the ranch. There's a pretty good job
7:30
of it too. And that's the whole family. Missus Gramley, her nephew,
7:35
Walter and his wife, and her granddaughter Susan. That's the family.
7:39
Were better or worse? Uh, mister Parks, do you even have any
7:44
idea as to what might be wrong? Not the slightest. You're on your
7:48
own son. How did this trust business start? How did it come about?
7:53
Missus Gramley came into town one day about two months ago and sprung it
7:56
on me out of a blue sky, first time she'd been in town nearly
8:00
year. Did she say why she wanted to set up the trust? Oh,
8:03
she says there was nobody's business but her own. She's changed a lot
8:07
in the last year. She's not herself anymore, and the trust was intended
8:11
in its entirety for her granddaughter, Susan. That's right. Within the next
8:15
three years, she wanted the whole estate transferred to the girl. Did Susan
8:18
know about it? According to missus Gramley, nobody knew about it, and
8:22
she didn't want anybody to know. All right, then you started the ball
8:26
rolling, and then you stopped it. Her nephew, Walller came in to
8:30
see me last week. He knew something was up and there was no use
8:33
trying to lie to him. When I told him what she was doing,
8:35
he said that she would never go through with it. So, oh,
8:39
I went out to the ranch to see her, laid all the cards on
8:41
the table. I told her what Waldard said. Oh, it was her
8:45
reaction. She said maybe he was right, maybe she wouldn't go through with
8:48
it. Then she started rambling, not even making sense, talking about the
8:52
auto accident and her son's dead. But before I left, she told me
8:56
again that I should keep pushing the trust. So you called for help,
9:01
I called for help. Well, I guess I'd better go talk to the
9:07
lady. That's not going to be so easy. Why not, Walterer won't
9:11
let a stranger on the place. You mean he's holding her captive? No,
9:16
no, I think he believes he's losing her mind. He's trying to
9:18
keep it quiet. Now what do you believe, mister Parks. I don't
9:24
know. Well maybe we can find out, I hope. So just one
9:28
thing, who will be careful of what I don't know? Jonas Parks had
9:37
one other suggestion that I pretend to be a special investigator for the Cattleman's Association.
9:41
I agreed to try it. Four miles from Flint Rock, the narrow
9:46
Ranch Road left the plateau and began climbing up through the broken bluff country.
9:50
A mile and a half in the ranch house, I pulled out the choke
9:52
flood of the engine and let the car cough to a stop, the old
9:54
out of gas gimmick, And about ten minutes later I was wishing I thought
9:58
of some other place I am. When Park said cloudburst, he wasn't exaggerating.
10:07
The rain came down in sheets. In sixty seconds I was soaked through,
10:11
and in another two minutes the dry ground was a muddy bug. I
10:16
kept on walking, or trying to walk, and the footing got worse.
10:20
Why then I'd had it, or at least I thought I had. I
10:24
hit the mud, rolled into a pile of boulders and pulled my gun.
10:26
The man was riding slowly toward me on a horse, holding a rifle over
10:28
his arm. My heedged down between the rocks, took a sight on him,
10:33
and waited. He dismounted and walked toward me, carrying the rifle carelessly.
10:39
Apparently he thought he'd dropped me. I let him get within twelve feet.
10:45
All right, hold it, drop that rifle, get your hands up,
10:48
I said, drop it. What's the idea? Well, that's a
10:54
good question, only I'm the one to ask it. The trispisson. I've
11:00
been losing cattle, so I've heard. What do you mean you've heard?
11:05
I'm an investigator for the Cattleman's Association. Are you well at Gramley? That's
11:09
right? What do you expect to find sneaking in here on foot? This
11:11
way? Now? What I did find? At least? Look, I've
11:15
got a car back there on the road. I ran out of gas.
11:18
I understand the owner of the Flint Rock is a missus Ezra Gramley. She's
11:20
my aunt. Well, i'd like to see her. I'm afraid that's impossible.
11:24
Why what's your name? Dollar, Johnny Dollar, mister Dollar, go
11:31
back to your car and wait, I'll send some gasoline from the house when
11:35
you get it. Turn that car around and get off the property. You're
11:39
working for me. You know I'm a member of the association, and you
11:43
know as well as I do that you've got no more authority than any other
11:46
private individual. So get out and stay out. And if I don't,
11:50
well, then you're a trespasser and I won't miss twice the next time I'll
11:56
kill you. Is that clear? It was clear, perfectly clear, And
12:03
at this point I wasn't ready to force the issue, so I conducted an
12:07
orderly, strategic withdrawal and short I went back to the car. The rain
12:09
stopped before I reached it, and a few minutes later a station wagon came
12:13
lumbering down the road from the ranch and break to a stop a few yards
12:16
away. The girl who came toward me carrying a five gallon gasoline cann was
12:22
a living little doll, a daffodil, as perky and bright as a brand
12:24
new punny. Hello there, Hi, I'm Susan Gramley and you're mister Dollar,
12:28
and you're out of gas and I've got some point. Well here,
12:31
that's pretty heavy, and let me take that nope, just stand back and
12:35
avoid the splash. I'm an old hand at this. In fact, I'm
12:39
a chronic empty tanker myself, and I, uh, what's the matter out
12:46
of gas? Are you big deal? Huh? That tank is almost full.
12:50
Yeah, well, there's no use lying to you, I suppose.
12:52
Nope, I'm too smart. I see another thing. You're not with the
12:58
Cattleman's Association, mister Dollar. I'm not, Nope. I think you're here
13:01
to dig up the past because of what has happened and what might be going
13:05
to happen all that. Yep, And you know what, I think it's
13:11
just fine and dandy. You do, you bet? I do. I
13:16
loved my dad. I loved him more than anything. They knew what he
13:22
always did when he got mad, Sure they knew. I figured it out
13:26
a long time ago. Like to tell me about it, Susan. You'll
13:30
find out, mister Dollar. I think you're the kind of a man who
13:33
smashes into things right into the middle and break some wide open. Be careful
13:39
though, oh, because you know something you're smashing into a bomb. Johnny
14:01
Dollar Jonas Parks, mister Dollar, the Flint Rock Bank. Yeah, I
14:05
know the man who warned me. How's that you said it would be tough
14:09
to get into the Gramley ranch when I got rained on, shot at,
14:13
threatened, outsmarted by a sixteen year old girl, and I still didn't see
14:16
Missus Gramley. You aiming to give up for the night. Yes, I'm
14:20
busy trying to dry out my bones over the heat from a triple brandy.
14:24
Hell, I'm going out to see Missus Bramley in the morning. I'll try
14:26
to pick something up. Yeah, do that, will you? And something
14:31
else? Mister Parks that auto accident three years ago when Susan's parents were killed?
14:37
What about it, mister Dollar? You know what about it? Ah
14:41
me? The dead past has always with us. You go see Will Connors
14:45
there in Las Vegas. He runs the Fort County Weekly Tribune. Tell him
14:48
I sent you, and be careful once again, mister Park's careful of what
14:54
I still don't know. From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar location in Las Vegas,
15:07
Nevada, to the home office American Northern Trust Company, Hartford, Connecticut.
15:13
Assignment a matter of reasonable doubts, expense account continued. Itdem four seven dollars
15:22
in a quarter. A triple wasn't enough, so I bought the whole bottle
15:26
and took it up to my room. I was pushed, and not just
15:30
from being caught out in a desert cloudburst. Missus Grimley, elderly widow owner
15:35
of the Flint Rock Ranch, wanted to set up an insurance trust and convey
15:37
all her holdings over to her sixteen year old granddaughter, Susan. Her only
15:41
other heirs were her nephew, Walter, who managed the ranch, and his
15:45
wife, Hilda. Jason Parks, my client's local representative and respected president of
15:50
the Flint Rock Bank, had started proceedings, then got cold feet and dropped
15:54
them. Why he didn't know, just to hunch something wrong, He'd call
16:00
for help, and I was that help. Total results so far zero.
16:06
I put the cork in the brandy bottle and went to bed. I'll be
16:18
with you in a minute, John Fellow, Oh, hurry. The Weekly
16:22
Tribune, like a thousand other weekly tribunes across the country, not competing with
16:26
the big daily, is not even trying to printing the little things, homie
16:30
things, and hanging on one man office senator, publisher, reporter, proofreader
16:33
and at the moment lina type operator. I guess, of course, but
16:37
the man at the line of type looked as Thowa's name just had to be
16:40
Will Connor. My name is Will Connor. What can I do for you?
16:44
I'm Johnny Donner, mister Connors. Jonas Parks out at Flint Rocks suggestion,
16:47
Oh yeah, yeah. Jonahs called me this morning, said you'd probably
16:49
be in glad to know you nice. Same here, he said, you'd
16:52
most likely be asking all sorts of crazy questions. I was to well humor
16:59
me, you might put it that way, said I was to answer them
17:02
if I could. Did mister Parks tell you who I am? Nope,
17:04
didn't ask him. Jones and me been friends for twenty years, and if
17:07
he says you're all right, then that's good enough for me. Wow,
17:11
thanks to both of you. It's for one thing, though, mister Dollar,
17:14
they're going to be a story in this Maybe any chance giving me a
17:18
scoop on it? Scoop? I haven't heard that word in years, and
17:22
i'd had one in years. In fact, I ain't never had one.
17:26
Always have to get my front page story about reading me here in Las Vegas
17:29
dailies. Yeah, a bunch of smart alecs getting telegraphs from Moscow and Paris
17:33
and France and all them places. Anybody can get scoops that way, but
17:37
me, I got to get out and scratch for what I print. Well,
17:41
oh it sure do me good. To put one over on them dudes.
17:45
I'd get me out an extra, a big banner headline on it,
17:48
got the type for two never been used, exclusive right across the top,
17:53
and knock them back on their byline. A mister conn is all right.
17:56
If there is a story, you get it. That's the promise. A
18:00
scoop, a living breathing scoop. Oh god, yeah. Now about the
18:06
question, Yes, sir, young fellow, what do you want to know?
18:08
Anything you can tell me about Missus Gramley and the Flint Rock Ranch.
18:12
Missus Gramley, Well, now there is a woman for you, son.
18:17
They don't make that kind these days. Noticed any change in her lately?
18:21
Well, I wouldn't want this to go any farther, I understand, and
18:26
I guess it depends on what you mean by lately. I ain't seen her
18:29
but twice in the last year. I don't allow no visitors out there anymore,
18:32
so I found out yesterday her nephew took a shot at me with a
18:34
rifle. You don't say they are getting planny. Do you know of any
18:40
reason for him acting that way? Eh, there's something funny going on out
18:44
that ranch. What, for instance, couldn't say, like I was telling
18:48
you, I've only seen her twice, and she was different somehow. It
18:52
was like she was well, breaking up, sort of scared of something.
18:56
Maybe I don't know. I have a nephew by any chance, walder Well,
19:00
I'd say he acts about as scared as she does, or as upset
19:03
at least. Maybe they're both scared of something. What about the granddaughter Susan?
19:07
Is she scared too? No? That one. Oh, she's strange
19:11
enough, all right, But the old nick himself wouldn't scared or none.
19:15
What do he means she's strange enough. You met her, mister Dollar,
19:18
for about three minutes yesterday afternoon. That's long enough. How'd she strike you?
19:25
He was one of the most honest kids I've ever met, or else
19:27
the cleverest. Yeah, it's about the size of it. Which do you
19:32
think beat me? And I've known her since the day she was born.
19:36
Yes, it's quite a family, including that fancy wife of Walter's Hilda.
19:41
What about her, h Let's just say she's too much for him. You
19:47
follow me. Huh yeah, I think so. Ah. They're all worried.
19:51
They're on edge, either about the same thing or different things. They're
19:55
pushed, they're driven. You can feel it. There's a pressure out there
19:59
and anything you can have, maybe it already has. Maybe it happened three
20:03
years ago. What do you mean? There was an auto accident three years
20:08
ago and Missus Greenwy's son and his wife, Susan's parents, they were killed
20:12
in it. I've got the Morgan files here. I wrote it up pretty
20:17
complete when it happened. Yeah. I want to look through those files later,
20:19
but right now, you want the story behind the story, if there
20:23
is one. If there is, I don't know it. I think you
20:26
would, if anybody would, being a newsman, of course, I know.
20:30
Just an accident. Well, how did it happened? Well, it
20:34
was on the road to the ranch up there where it winds through the bluffs.
20:38
It was raining, pitch black. There'd been an argument back at the
20:42
house. They had a lot of arguments, I guess, But anyway,
20:47
Hilda got mad and left and took her car and headed for town. And
20:52
a while afterwards Ed had all he could take and he run out too,
20:55
and jumped into his car. Susan tells me that was a habit of her
20:57
father's whenever he lost his temp were in an argument. Yeah, we'd always
21:00
get in his car and drive like a demon until he got over it.
21:04
She also made it kind of a stranger remark. She said they knew about
21:08
it. What do you mean by that? I guess you'll have to ask
21:12
Susan what she meant. All right, So we had jumped in his car
21:17
that night, and then Mary went with him trying to calm him down.
21:19
I guess. So he come around that curve. He must have been doing
21:23
sixty skidding half out of control, and there was Hilda's car parked on the
21:30
curve, right square in his headlights. Just smies right into it at full
21:33
speed. Both cars rolled over the bank, caught fire and burned up.
21:37
Him and Mary were dead before the car stopped. Cart Hilding get out him.
21:41
She wasn't there. He had a flat, left her car parked and
21:44
started back on foot. I see he was lucky, that's all. She
21:51
sure was mister Connor's real lucky. I took a back file of the Tribune
21:56
into the outer office and one over the news on the desk of Ed Brieley
22:00
and his wife. I found nothing that Will Connors hadn't already told me shocking
22:06
loss find people's sudden accidents. I kept hanging up on that word accidents.
22:12
I kept wanting to put a question mark after. I was so absorbed I
22:15
didn't even notice her come in until she spoke to me, Well, well,
22:21
are you following me, Susan? Nope, got some copy from mister
22:25
Connor's. I write articles for him sometimes, you know, clever kid and
22:29
all that sort of m I see you took me seriously, naughty figure.
22:34
You didn't close that paper fast enough. Now, why would an investigator from
22:38
the Caluman's Association be interested in an auto accident three years back? Uh?
22:44
Suppose you tell me? Because you are not an investigator for the Caluman's Association.

Who are you, mister Dollar. I've got half a notion of level
22:55
with you, Susan. Then I'll go the other half by leveling with you,
22:59
and h'll to call the association office in Reno this morning. They said
23:03
they never heard of you. I imagine that mister Parks was out at the
23:06
ranch just before I left. She asked him about you too. He said
23:10
he'd never sing or heard of you. I see he was lying, though.
23:15
I can always tell when people are lying, and they know it too.
23:18
That's why they're uncomfortable around me. Yeah, I know what you mean.
23:23
Hey, look, Susan, did mister Parks talk to your grandmother?
23:26
No? He was supposed to arrange for me to see her about the accident.
23:30
Maybe I'm not sure yet, I'm shooting in the dark. Oh,
23:34
it's time somebody did. Where are you staying, mister dollar at the common
23:38
manner? Okay, I'll get it set up and call you there later.
23:44
Get it set up, sure, fix things so that you can get in
23:48
to see my grandmother. That's what you wanted, doesn't it. Well,
23:52
all right, I went back to my hotel room and settle down to waits.
23:57
If a sixteen year old kid could manage what a bank president couldn't,
24:02
then me for the Juvenile League. What happened a couple of hours later,
24:04
though, wasn't exactly juvenile. Come in? Hello, Wow, you busy,
24:12
mister Dolla? Not too busy? Come in, thanks. I don't
24:18
believe I imagine you've heard of me during your cattle investigations. Well, somehow
24:26
you don't seem to fit with cattle a compliment observation. What do I fit
24:33
with? I don't know yet, missus gramley Da, Now I'm beginning to
24:38
know c Thanks. I'll stick with my own brand. It usually works out
24:44
better that way. Thanks, nice cigarette case gift. I'm always getting gifts,
24:55
including a wedding ring. I've got to run someplace just so you don't
24:59
forget where you left it. I couldn't have I wanted to. You wouldn't
25:04
have a drink for a lady, would you? Brandy? I love brandy
25:08
and gifts and a lot of other things like money. Oh, money's real
25:15
nice, it's next to the best. And what's the best excitement? I
25:23
see? Don't you think it's best? Well, that depends at least you're
25:30
in the right spot for it, I hope. So look, I haven't
25:37
got any money, and I never give gifts. You've got brandy, though,
25:42
poor as a drink, Johnny, And then we'll talk what about excitement?
26:06

28:19
company is spending a lot of money on the basis of intuition, but there's
28:23
something to be said for it, both in real life and fiction, particularly
28:27
when it comes from reliable folks. We'll have to see how it pans out
28:33
here, but there's definitely some suspicious stuff going on at the ranch. Will
