2:07

2:13
now for Johnny Dellar. This is Paul Darman, mister Dollar. I was
2:20
afraid you left town and I wanted to talk to you. Mm hmm.
2:23
I wanted to thank you for your kindness about Amy and the way you handled
2:27
Terry was darn decent. Of course, I want to apologize for my attitude
2:31
again, os missus O'Connell terrible. I mean, the papers this morning connected
2:38
her sister Amy with murdering Belden and committing suicide. I'm curious how did you
2:43
get to her. I found Amy's person There was a gun in it.
2:46
I looked up the registration. Oh the murder gun. I don't know.
2:52
I haven't turned it over to the police yet. Why Because I still can't
2:55
believe Amy Duran was the kind of girl who'd shoot a man and then take
2:58
poison tonight and every weekday Night. Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of the
3:10
Man with the Action Packed Expenser count America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator Yus Turley Johnny
3:15
Dollar expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, location Vicksburg, Virginia two.
3:30
Special Investigator Johnny Dollar for personal reasons in connection with the plant agent matter.
3:36
Expense account at AM eleven fifteen dollars legal fees for services rented by lawyer
3:39
Sam o'field. No, Sandy, and here's sir O here. I guess
3:50
it's you. What now, mister o'field. This statement you mean to meet
3:53
clearly states your intentions in this matter, your motives. You attempted to help
3:58
a girl who died in your company. You had no idea she might have
4:01
committed the murder or embezzled ten thousand dollars. You withheld evidence the gun you
4:08
found in her purse, in the hope of identifying her and saving her family
4:12
some grief. I hope you don't have to use this stuff. We'll see.
4:18
I'm going to turn the gun in now, and you're coming with me.
4:20
It's about time. Nothing personal, son, I think you did a
4:25
lot of dumb things for her. From what they're saying in the papers about
4:29
her, I don't think she deserted, But then we all make wrong guesses
4:33
sometimes, I suppose. Ah, let's get this over with lawyer Sam Oldfield
4:43
accompanied me downtown the police headquarters, where we sought out Lieutenant Agins and turned
4:46
over the thirty eight automatics. Oldfield handed the statement over to him and he
4:50
read it through. Then he called in his ballistics man to make an immediate
4:55
check of the gun. When he'd done that, Aggins asked Oldfield on myself
4:58
to wait. He left an hour later, then he came back. You
5:02
are a lucky boy dollar. First off, I'm gonna tell you that gun
5:08
you've been withholding, that's the same weapon that killed the order. The clown's
5:11
built it. Okay, Now, you played it as safe as you could,
5:14
and you hired this lawyer to protect you, and it came to turning
5:16
it in where you didn't need him. Huh. Any other time, I'd
5:21
have put you in the pokes so fast you'd have thought you was born there.
5:26
This time, I'm feeling generous. You can go, Miss Oldfield me
5:30
you no charges against mister Dollar withholding information. No, not this time.
5:35
I got my Jane Dough identified. I know a motive for killing an auditor.
5:40
I know why she took the poison. You generally don't get everything in
5:43
the neat package like that. So I feel generous and let's get out here.
5:46
Dollar, you get out. I won't talk to Dollar, and now
5:49
I'll stay listen. It's okay, mister Oldfield. I'm going to get a
5:54
lecturers on a sure. Yeah, Colly lead it in, goodbye Luton.
5:59
Ye one thing more, Dollar, We found an empty bottle of pair of
6:08
mythol on Amy Durant's medicine cabinet and that since here's that suicide part in case
6:14
you had in the Doubts, it's a closed case. Uh huh. But
6:19
you didn't help me close it, Dollar, and you could have. You
6:24
worked with the police for years. You were an officer yourself once. What
6:27
makes you think you can come down here and run around doing all these things
6:30
you've done get away with? Why didn't you turn that gun in with a
6:33
price as soon as you found it? All right, I'll tell you because
6:35
I oh, it doesn't make any difference now tennan't you got your case and
6:43
you're lucky down lucky boy. I don't have you too, because you know
6:47
as well as I do it Canny nacoms okay right away that I got business
6:57
to take care of. Time you're in my town, you take it easy.
7:02
I will, but I don't think i'll ever come to your town again.
7:06
On general principles. Well, I guess I know how you felt about
7:11
that girl. I'm not gonna make any fuss about what you did, but
7:15
I don't think i'd let it pass a second time. She sure didn't look
7:21
the part at you. No, she didn't happens that way sometimes. What
7:29
you told me about that kid's sister hers trying suicide and so forth after she
7:32
lost her husband. Well, Amy Doran had a good motive for stealing that
7:39
money, if motive can have a be good dollar. Lieutenant. H h.
7:45
I was just on my way to see you. Lieutenant. I'll be
7:46
back in my office in a couple of minutes. You can go on and
7:48
wait, mister dam glad I saw you, mister Dollar. I think there's
7:51
something I should explain to you. You'd be interested in this too, Lieutenant.
7:57
Mister Dollar saw me arguing with Amy Ran in a parking lot at the
8:01
plant Agent hotel last night. She just told me about the shortage and accounts.
8:05
She hadn't told me about killing the auditor. I want you to know
8:09
that I was racking my brain trying to find a way to get hold of
8:13
some money to make up the shortage. Was always very fun of Amy.
8:18
I wonder, mister Dollar, if I could give you a check something for
8:22
your kindness. Nothing, thanks, well, I'd like to you did something
8:28
very decent. Now. Oh well, I suppose you'll be leaving soon.
8:35
Goodbye and thanks again. I'll be in your office. Lieutenant right got to
8:43
him too, if it's under comfort? What was that business in the parking
8:48
lot? Oh well, I hit him. He was arguing with her.
8:50
That's all you want. The only one trying to help a dolla him.
8:56
And then there was somebody else a bank. We found a certified check for
9:01
ten thousand dollars name of Durant's apartment, National Trust in New York, issued
9:05
three days ago. How wired the head cashier in New York? He said,
9:09
Namy durand phoned him long distance, requested the loan. Seems her folks
9:13
when they were alive, had a good pull. Look, I'm gonna hold
9:16
it, and this isn't right. She could have covered that shortage. I
9:22
figured she intended to do that, but I ordered to find out too quick.
9:24
He called on it, and she shot him with a ten thousand dollars
9:28
check in her hand. Well, there isn't another or of bonding company going
9:31
that wouldn't prefer to turn up the cash and the person who took it.
9:35
They listen to any reasonable story. You know that the auditor must have scared
9:37
a dollar she shot him, didn't she? She committed suicide, didn't she?
9:43
You make a lot of noise, Higgins, But you aren't any happier
9:45
about this than I am, are Youah? No? Why let the papers
9:50
have it the way it is so that whoever knows ansel get careless. Sure
9:54
it burns me somebody thinking the police as dumb as this? Oh what are
10:00
you going to do? Wait? Just wait? I found that pretty hard
10:09
to do. And the more I waited and the more I thought about the
10:13
matter, the more restless I felt. So I didn't wait. I got
10:18
out and started interviewing people who had known the murdered auditor. The consensus was
10:22
that he knew his business, that if he'd found a shortage, and someone
10:24
offered to reimburse the company. He had been the kind of old hand who
10:28
would have listened to them. Why, I asked myself. If Amy Doran
10:31
had a ten thousand dollars check to cover of shortages, why did she shoot
10:35
the auditor and then commit suicide? Why it didn't make sense? Oh,
10:48
Dollar, Hello, Demorn, come in, Dollar. I'm glad you dropped
10:54
by. I thought you'd left town going back to Hartford. Well, I've
10:58
stayed over so long waiting for all this to get cleared up. I thought
11:01
I might as well stick around a while longer. Sure, can I get
11:03
you a drink? No? Thanks? It is finished, isn't it not
11:09
yet? I don't understand. I talked with Lieutenant Aikins today after I saw
11:15
you with him. He said it was all over as far as he was
11:18
concerned. You're talking to me now, Damren. I'm the guy who went
11:20
out on the limb, and I appreciate that a great deal. A question
11:22
I want to ask you. You knew Amy Duran worked with her at Richmond
11:26
Limited. You're engaged to marry her sister. Did you know Amy had a
11:31
ten thousand dollars check in her hand the day she died. Really that was
11:35
enough money to cover the shortages in her accounts. We'll be done. Or
11:39
do you suppose she shot him did what she did? Then? I've been
11:41
thinking about that Tamaran. There's only one reason I can think of, because
11:46
Amy Duran didn't steal any money, because she didn't shoot any auditor, she
11:50
didn't commit suicide. I think she borrowed that ten thousand dollars from New York
11:54
to cover up for somebody else, somebody else who you. Maybe you better
12:03
leave here. You're upset. That auditor was a smart guy. He'd been
12:05
in the business a long time. He found out who'd been taking the money.
12:09
He called you over to ask you about it, ask you if you
12:11
could repay it. You lost your head and you shot him with a thirty
12:15
eighth you picked up over at Teresa O'Connell's one day. Oh look, then
12:18
you fixed up all the reports to make it look like Amy Durant did the
12:20
job. You're crazy. That's fantastic. If you think I am Iran borrowed
12:24
money to cover for you, She did it not because you were worth it,
12:26
because you meant something to her kid's sister. You meant something to Teresa
12:31
O'Connell who'd lost one husband and tried suicide because of it. Teresa O'Connell,
12:35
who couldn't afford another major tragedy, Teresa O'Connell, who might try suicide again
12:41
if the man she was going to marry he turned out to be a thief.
12:43
You counted on that, damming. I don't know what you're talking about
12:46
now, you think you hadn't counted on? Was the auditor picking it up
12:48
so fast? And when he called you you had to kill him to keep
12:52
him quiet. Then you made a date with Amy out at the plant Agent
12:56
hotel. You slip poison in their drink and planted the gun in her purse.
12:58
This is all taught talk. You have nothing to prove, to say,
13:01
one drink with you before you argue with her out in the parking lot.
13:03
She told me and the bartender later verified it. Then I came along.
13:07
Now, look, you're a big guy, damn, and you could
13:11
have hit me back in that parking lot, but you didn't have time.
13:13
You still had to get over to Amy's apartment, a plant an empty poison
13:16
box. You're crazy. You have no proof of this, no proof at
13:18
all. No, I haven't but I've been thinking about it all day,
13:22
and they'll be proof you had to buy that poison someplace. Lieutenant Aigans is
13:26
a pretty good police officer. He and his mental cover every drug store in
13:30
this town and ask questions everywhere. I'm gonna tell him what I think and
13:33
he'll dust off that box of poison. Maybe your prince will turn up on
13:35
it sooner or later. Guys like you make mistakes, and Akins finds them.
13:43
Now, listen to you. A girl, a fine decent girl,
13:46
asks me for help. This is the quickest way I know to give her.
13:52
I'll kill you. Donald you walk okay, okay, come on,
14:05
come on, get up, get up, get up. I've had enough,
14:07
I've had I want you to tell it now, right now, over
14:11
there, pick it up, go on, pick it up. Okay,
14:16
here, and you know who to call. Hello, Hello. Give me
14:31
the police expense account. I'm twelve fifty five dollars room and board, item,
14:43
thirteen fifty five dollars airfare and miscellaneous getting me back to Hartford. Total
14:48
expense account seven hundred and two dollars and thirteen cents. Yours truly, Johnny

timon station for another exciting story of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Roy Rowland speaking,
16:44
Welcome back, Well, a very good case with a solution that I
16:53
think surprised me the first time I heard it, but not really the second
16:57
time I began to recall it. I think when he offered Johnny Money,
17:06
he really I think set in motion something that would just arouse his suspicions.
17:12
We'll be back, I guess to more normal, typical Johnny Dollar case.
17:18
Next week, but there's rarely anything typical when we're dealing with the man with
17:22
the action backed expense account. Now we turn to Carter Brown in today's episode
17:29
Crime for King, Part four, where Roger King has just discovered yet another
17:36
double cross in this web. So let's go ahead and take a listen Arthur
17:49
Brown Mystery Adventures and Excitement and Suspense, based on the best selling novels by
17:59
the Slick Store telling sensation Catta Brown. The more I thought about it,
18:18
the funnier it became, and the laugh was on me because there was I
18:21
Roger King, a smart private eye, itching to tell a baroness v Aults
18:25
that there was a plot to plant her with a fake diamond pendant. And
18:29
the Baroness was fake herself or was pretending to be. I couldn't decide which.
18:33
All I knew was that the Baroness and at least Saint Cres were the
18:36
same day. I kicked that intriguing factor around in my head for the rest
18:40
of that day and came evening, I was outside Marcia's apartment origin, Hi,
18:49
high yourself or are you not yet? That I've got to wherewithal waiting,
18:55
come on in, I kind of thought to be calling. Oh that's
19:00
nice, and so is this room cozy lights one point. I pulled the
19:07
lounge up in front of it for you and Rodney. Rodney won't be over
19:11
the night. Oh, I'll pourus a dream. Why don't you relax?
19:17
Hey, that's a great idea. I never felt more like to relax me
19:21
neither. Here we are, thanks. We don't have to sit as far
19:26
away as that, do you move closer? Here's to crime, here's to
19:33
our partnership. What's the setup for tomorrow night? It's all fixed. The
19:38
ball starts at nine. You pick me up here about ten, we'll go
19:41
over to police office and pick up the pennant. Then we heads south and
19:45
me fron sounds simple enough, huh, So we don't have to think about
19:48
it anymore, suits me, Roger. You're smart from right outside the whole
19:55
thing. You picked up even more than Rodney knew about the Saint priest woman
19:57
and everything just look has to have some lucky sometimes otherwise it goes broken.
20:03
Now you're being modest. You know it's not fair. You're being handsome as
20:08
well as lady. With a line like that, you leave me breas girl
20:12
has to watch points. You can't be too careful about choosing a man.
20:18
I'm dit ching Palvey only just in time. And there are moments when I
20:23
find myself wondering whether Rodney is really smart enough to get by run about.
20:30
Now, I think I could move a little closer. I think you could
20:34
too. I picked up Marcia promptly at ten the next night, the eighteenth.
20:45
She had two of our suitcases packed and I put them in the boot
20:48
of the dodge and we drove round to the offices of Overseas Enterprises. Marcia
20:52
had all the right keys, and as the elevator wasn't working, we used
20:55
the stairs. Hold the flashlight up, Will I find the key? Sure,
21:00
it's nice that, Paul. We trust you so much. Yeah,
21:02
isn't it? Ah? This is it? Come on, it's not waste
21:08
any time. It's in his office. You can turn on the mic.
21:15
Now, I think, okay, where does he keep it in the safe?
21:19
I don't see any say it's a wool model behind that picture. Have
21:22
you got the key to that? It's a combination lock. But don't worry.
21:27
The picture slides up. M ah six oh six two seven, that's
21:41
it there it is, holl Look Roger, the common Royal pan. It's
21:49
really something, isn't it. Oh, it's beautiful, but not really Paulmie,
21:55
that's right, mister King. Just keep your hands by your sides.
21:59
This gunna, I aren't joking. Why aren't you at the ball? Because
22:03
that pendance a fake as big a fake as you, my dear Marsha.
22:07
It's very funny, isn't it. I hope you both appreciate it. The
22:10
real pendant turns out to be a fake, it can't be, but it
22:12
is all the planning, all the double crossing for nothing. I took it
22:18
out tonight for another look at it, and then I noticed something something only
22:22
very few people would have the knowledge or experience to see. It's very pretty,
22:26
very well made, and worth about fifteen hundred dollars. An expensive phony,
22:30
but a phony. Oo pull the switch? The beautiful elite Saint Greece,
22:33
I suppose so, though I don't know how she could have done it.
22:37
Where does she fit under this picture? Anyway? I met her in
22:38
Europe about six months ago. She talked to me and they turns about the
22:42
possibility of doing a deal. You didn't mention the name of the baroness,
22:47
but the plot was outlined to me. I told her I'd think it over.
22:51
I did, and when I got back here, I decided there was
22:53
no good reason for cutting her into the deal. I can handle the whole
22:56
thing myself. Sure, why split profits if you don't have to. Exactly
23:00
when the Baroness arrived and I got the job of fixing the clip on the
23:03
pendant, I realized the Baroness was who at least Saint Cries had been talking
23:07
about. Called me a day or so later and told me she was over
23:11
here and what about her deal? I said I wasn't interested. Then she
23:15
threatened me. That was when I hired you to keep an eye on her.
23:18
M h. The pieces fall into place, But I didn't think Marcia
23:22
was planning to double cross. Well, you know how it is, Paulvey.
23:25
One good cross deserves another. She won't get the chance to try it
23:27
again. I'm going to kill you, Marcia, and your private eye friend
23:32
will join you next. Take it easy, Poulvy. That won't get you
23:34
anywhere. You're cool down. We can still make some dough out of this
23:37
deal. What are you talking about? Did you ever see the Baroness von
23:41
Altz No, I'll bet you didn't. She'd take care of that you see
23:44
the baroness and the least Saint Cris are one and the same. What that's
23:48
right, But why would she want to rob herself? I think I've figured
23:52
that was a cunning caper. Even baronesses can be broke, and I think
23:57
at one stage she must have been so broke that she's sole the pendant not
24:00
in its original form. Of course, it must have been split up.
24:03
It's too well, no dude to sell any other way. Yeah, And
24:07
at the same time, I think she had a fake made, the one
24:08
on your safe right now on King. Then dot gets short again and she
24:14
gets another idea. If her pendant should be stolen, she could claim the
24:17
insurance money. But if it is stolen, she has to make sure it
24:21
doesn't turn up again because it's a fake. Yes, I'm beginning to see
24:26
it. Sure, she puts up the scheme to you that she should be
24:29
robbed of a fake pendant at the ball, the one you would supply while
24:32
you kept the one you thought was real. She knows the fake one stolen
24:34
from her will be destroyed and the original will be returned by you to the
24:37
insurance company. But here's where you get the big lab When you return what
24:42
you think is the original Elise or the Baroness, whichever you prefer, has
24:47
a look at it and yells fake. The insurance people check out. They
24:51
find it is a fake, and that means a baroness collects the insurance though,
24:55
and you're left without even a fake pendant. I don't believe it.
24:59
Can you make the fact any other way? Of course not. You're right,
25:02
Roger. That was why the Baroness couldn't be known as the baroness to
25:04
you. That's why she took the name of Elise Saint Crease, all that
25:10
dirty double Paulvey that doesn't really come well from you. She was just too
25:15
smart for you. And how do you think we can make money out of
25:18
it? Now? We should like to know that too. What Watch Hi,
25:21
Johnny, I am you? You fool me? I I'm afraid poor
25:29
mister Paulvey will do nothing anymore very stupid than any man to try shooting at
25:33
a man who is behind him. Marcia, I'd better introduce you. This
25:37
is the lady we were talking about, at least Saint Crease alias the Baroness,
25:41
and the gentleman is named Johnny alias I presume the baron So you work
25:45
that out too, mister King. It just came to me like a oh,
25:49
you have more brains than we credited you with. Like the late mister
25:52
Paulvey. He did too. We picked him as a so called expert who
25:56
wouldn't notice the think, but he was a better craftsman. And then we
26:00
thought, how did you get here? We noticed mister Poulvey had left the
26:03
ball. We thought it might be wise to follow his example. Johnny,
26:07
you're wasting time. Yes, of course, my dear. We're going for
26:10
a ride, mister Key, and I'm going to enjoy our fare. Will
26:15
No, I'm afraid I can't say the same for you. Drop that gun.
26:21
That's better. I always feel safer when I'm the only guy with a
26:25
gun. Well well, well, just like a daisy chain, isn't it.
26:29
Pulvey holds us up. Then the baron holds Polvia, and now little
26:32
Rodney holds the baron. Rodney, I'm so glad you came, are you?
26:37
I wonder? I just got an idea in my head that maybe you
26:40
and King were trying a little funny stuff. Stay where you are, King,
26:42
It's okay, Rodney. I just want to grab this gun, Johnny.
26:48
Oh no, don't try, Baron freeze. I'm just aching for an
26:52
excuse to let you both have it. Marcia. Yes, Roger, go
26:56
downstairs and call the cops. Wait till they arrive, and then bring them
26:59
up. Tell him I'm here with a baron and his wife and we've discovered
27:03
they stole a pendent. Tell them your Paulvie's secretary and that I was working
27:06
for Poulvie and he's been murdered. Got it, Yes, Roger, I've
27:10
got it. I'll be as quick as I can. Well. This as
27:14
nice and cozy, now, isn't you know? Johnny, I never liked
27:18
you from the off, from that time you hit me over the head when
27:21
I wasn't looking. I assure you that feeling is mutual. But I don't
27:25
think you've got any nerve at all behind that tough front. I think there's
27:27
only a watermelon big talk. When you have two guns, mine in your
27:33
own, we'll see at least come here. Yes, here's your husband's gun.
27:40
Take it by the barrel and walk backwards. Taught him. If you
27:42
try to turn off, shoot very well. I we'll see who's the better
27:48
man, Johnny. When she gives you the gun at least can count to
27:52
three and then we'll fire. You are going to fight a duel with me
27:55
unless you're too scared that I have never been accused of Okay, and in
28:00
the gun. Now start counting, honey, one and can ask me quickly?
28:12
You hate him, Johnny? You hate him so badly? Is he
28:17
hit me? Don't Gophrey's Gunnelies. It's only my shoulder that's got a slug
28:21
in it. I can still pull a trigger. You've been a sucker,
28:26
Baron. Wow, there was only one thing wrong with a setup. When
28:30
the cops turn up, I could explain Rodney's dead. He could be one
28:34
of Poulvey's assistants who turn up because he wanted to rescue us from you.
28:41
But the trouble was that though he was shot with your gun, Johnny,
28:45
it had my fingerprints on it. Now it has yours. We shall tell
28:52
the police the truth, and who do you think they'll believe? They're coming?
28:57
Now? Smile, suckers, this is Carli Brown. You've got to
29:26
hand it to Roger King, haven't you. He may have been befogged in
29:29
the beginning that he came in final to finish. I couldn't let him do
29:33
anything else could I he's a hero. My next book's got a different kind
29:37
of reading character. Richard van Bryden the third I called his saga malice for
29:41
a Multimillionaire, because that's what he is. So this is Cardi Brown saying,
29:45
so long for now be sing in crime for a King. You had
30:11
our star Terry McDermott as Roger King. Carter Brown mystery theater, based on
30:15
the best selling novels by Carter Brown, is dramatized and directed by Morris Travers
30:19
for Grace Gibson Radio Productions. Welcome back. Well, I have to say,
30:36
I think Roger would have been better taking his risk with with the police
30:48
on the fingerprints issue rather than going to all this trouble. I mean,
30:53
seriously, you know, Roger, you know this could have easily easily turning
31:00
out the other way. So this was one of those really bizarre risk and
31:07
uh it's actually you know, this isn't actually was actually I think the best
31:11
cereal we've heard so far, and not ain't really didn't you know. Usually
31:18
with some of these I've mentioned that they're basically the equivalent of the of the
31:32
spaghetti westerns that dominating the nineteen fifties and sixties though set in Australia, but
31:41
there hadn't really been any of those really odd things that just seem distrain bruduality.
31:48
Right up until the end, I thought this was, you know,
31:52
very well done, some snappy dialogue, and Roger King was not left in
32:00
a position where Carter Brown couldn't bring him back, and I wonder if he
32:04
did. We did not. We don't have any of his episodes in existence.
32:09
By the way, I should let you know this will be the We
32:13
will be taking a break from Carter Brown for a while. The reason is
32:19
we have two more serials coming up with missing episodes, and so we can't
32:23
really string four straight episodes together without interruption. So we will actually return with
32:31
another Carter Brown episode, should be in about nine weeks. In the meantime,
32:37
we're going to begin airing a series that has single episodes so they're self
32:46
contained. It's called Doctor Tim Detective, and it's not necessary to have to
32:53
have them all strung together, and it really is. It's a very nice
32:58
series, I should warn you in it was written more towards a juvenile audience,
33:02
and that was definitely why I was going to play at at the end,
33:08
even when I was originally thinking on doing most of these episodes with the
33:15
Carter Brown with the other feature first followed by Johnny Dollar, but just to
33:21
be warned a little bit more juvenile, but still I thought, pretty darn
33:24
entertaining, and I hope you will enjoy it as well. That's Doctor Tim
33:29
Detective coming next week to the Great Detectors of Old Time Radio. In the
33:34
meantime. You can send your comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives dot now,
