1:26
I'm very busy right look, doctor Bigbe, I want you to come out
1:29
here just as soon as possible. It's the old Cronan summer place, about
1:32
five miles up the river from where I know where it is. I know
1:34
what are you doing up there? Years missus Cronan opened it up for a
1:40
party this weekend, but she was taking In on the train coming up,
1:42
and I want Tony out there. Yeah, she's the one I want you
1:44
to look at. So she's back after all these years, she's coming back.
1:48
She had a prescription from our doctor in New York, but she's taken
1:51

1:53
dollar. I'm very busy tonight. What much too busy than Niss's torm coming

Wells Falls, New York to the home office Shorty Mutual and Trust Company,
2:43
Hartford, Connecticut, assignment the Kronin Matter a half million dollar necklace expense account
2:47
continue. I'm seven five dollars and forty cents TAXI. I figured i'd find
2:54
doctor Bigbie in one of the local pubs, but I covered them all in
2:58
about thirty minutes. No sale, and unfortunately Bigbie was the only doctor in
3:01
Wells Falls. Worse, the local druggist couldn't fill Missus Cronin's prescription. The
3:07
nearest chance was Tupper Lake, twenty five miles away. Back out at the
3:13
Cronin place, I turned the taxi over to Jason prel Missus Cronin's business advisor,
3:16
and he took off for Tupper Lake to look for the medicine. Then
3:20
I went looking for Missus Atherton, a village woman who had been housekeeping on
3:23
the estate since the place was built. I found her in the kitchen,
3:28
storms brewing up coming out of the mountains. It'll hit us four morning.
3:32
They always come in the night. I guess you've seen a lot of storms
3:36
in these hills. Missus Atherington live here all my life, never been out
3:38
of them. It's miss Atherton, not missus. Oh, she's the missus
3:45
up in the bed, even if she is a widow, little dolly,
3:50
Missus Cronin. Till death do us part? Did you know Barnaby Cronin,
3:54
Miss Atherington? Yes, I knew him, of course I knew him.
3:59
I worked here. Oh, yes, you were here then. What kind
4:02
of a man was he? Like any other man? And according to Dolly
4:08
missus Cronin, she apparently worshiped him, still does. In fact, Dolly's
4:12
always worshiping something. Everybody was always worshiping her. She had us all dancing
4:17
to her tune and without even trying. You know her back then she was
4:21
born and raised here in the village. I thought everybody knew that. No,
4:26
that's when I missed who. He used to work together waiting tables at
4:30
the summer hotels around here. That's where Jason Prell saw her, told her
4:35
she ought to be on Broadway. She left the town the next week,
4:40
didn't come back again till after she and Barnaby was married, and she got
4:45
him to spend a fortune to build this place for her. Well, I
4:47
guess he had the fortune to spend. Oh yes, she married well,
4:51
count on Dolly for that. Always got whatever she wanted and never even had
4:57
to ask. Things were just given to her always. Yeah, probably so.
5:01
But she's been pretty generous herself, like keeping you on here, for
5:05
instance, when the house has been closed up for years, with nobody using
5:09
it. Oh she's the dancing darling, all right, right to the end.
5:14
Well, I feel excuse there was something else I wanted to ask you,
5:16
Miss Atherton. I'm not one to talk ordinarily, but you got me
5:19
started. This is not about missus Cronan, at least not directly. She
5:23
was taken hill on the train. I don't think it's serious, but I
5:26
wanted a doctor to look her over her The only one in the village seems
5:29
to be a man by the name of big Bee b. He's the coroner
5:33
here, but he's not a doctor. No, no, not anymore.
5:36
Still calls himself one, but he lost his license ten years ago. He's
5:42
a drunken sot. Yeah, I kind of figured, but he sobered up
5:46
fast. When I told him on the phone that the patient was Missus Cronin.
5:48
He refused to come out, told me to get her away from here
5:50
fast, and then he hung up on me. Forget him. He couldn't
5:55
do her any good, But I'd like to know why he acted that way.
5:59
Do you happen to know any reason? Bigbie is a drunk who knows
6:02
what his reasons are. I thought you might better ask him what difference does
6:11
it make anyway. He can't help her, nobody can. What do you
6:14
mean she's come back finally for the first time in all these years, took
6:19
sick on the train. That wasn't any surprise to her. She knew it
6:24
was going to happen. Well, I guess she halfway knew. She knew.
6:29
It's like with an animal when it's hurt or sick and it comes home
6:31
to die. And that's what she's done. She's come home to die.
6:35
No, I think you're wrong there, Miss Everton. I don't think she's
6:39
anywhere near that sick Barnaby didn't think so either. When he came back here
6:44
to die. Barnaby died here, Yes, in this very house. A
6:50
heart attack, it was called. He came up on the afternoon train,
6:55
and that's range. There was the same kind of night, a storm like
7:03
tonight. Strange how things moved and patterns. Were you here with him,
7:10
Miss Athington. Barnaby died alone and the doctor, big b Miss Athton was
7:19
the doctor. I'm sorry I was thinking the bridges were washed out. Bigby
7:28
didn't get here the next morning. Wouldn't have mattered. He couldn't have done
7:32
anything. Nobody could have when it's time for a thing to be done.
7:38
It's done. Nobody can stop it. Nobody. It was a strange,
7:46
ominous and oppressive, with a feel of violence in the air. Even the
7:51
house itself added to the feeling, furnish lavishly in the style thirty years forgotten.
7:58
It seemed garish, now old and tired and lonesome, like missus Cronin
8:03
herself, who'd planned a grand party for all her old friends and instead lay
8:07
ill and alone in the bedroom upstairs. The Queen gave a party and nobody
8:13
came, all dressed up, no place to go, Yeah bloom evening.
8:18
Jason Prell came back from Tupper Lake with a medicine. Miss Affordan served at
8:24
dinner of sorts, served it in silence, and we were left to our
8:26
own devices. Five guests and a mansion built for a hundred prel stayed pretty
8:33
much to himself, lovely Laura Deane with that air of knowing innocence, and
8:37
viggled a shorty Weather into teaching her some of his old dance routines. And
8:41
they cranked up an old phonograph in the music room, and me I just
8:45
stood at an open window and watched the rain come down and tried to think.
8:50
That's the perfect touch. It's exactly what the evening needed. And music,
8:54
Ah, Sylvia, really cornball, isn't it? No? No,
8:58
Johnny, I I meant the thunderstorm, an isolated old mansion, fabulous necklace
9:03
of diamonds and emeralds, weird housekeeper, a hostess lying ill, and now
9:09
rain shades of the house of Usher. That'll make a good lead for your
9:13
magazine story. I should have stayed in New York and just written it,
9:16
not lived it. Oh, I thought you were the big take a chance
9:20
girl, Miss Blake. Danger and mystery adventure. Don't those things appeal to
9:24
you? Maybe? Is there any of that lying around somewhere there? Maybe
9:28
before the night's ower. All I can see at the moment is sheer boredom.
9:31
You have to know how to look the bottom of that scotch glass,
9:35
for instance, just coming time. Oh, I've been wanting to ask you,
9:41
Johnny, how'd you get that cut on your head. It's a long
9:46
story. It happened on the train. I know that you didn't have it
9:48
when we left a sudden stop. I fell over my suit. Kiss,
9:52
Sure you did backwards. It's on the back of your head. Somebody made
9:58
a try for it, didn't they on the train come up? Well,
10:00
I don't know what they were trying for. I wasn't tying away. Maybe
10:03
they even got it. That's the way you're betting. Wasn't it that it
10:05
wouldn't be just an attempt that somebody was going to get it and get away
10:09
with her? Did they? Is that what happened? Is it gone?
10:15
All right? Just stand there and grin then, O Rain, I'm going
10:20
back to the city tomorrow. You are well. Don't smother me with your
10:24
pleading. Stick around Sylvia. Things may get better, including the music,
10:31
you know. In a way, I hope somebody did get the circle of
10:35
Fire. Why what good is that fabulous necklace doing her now? Lying up
10:39
there? She's had everything she ever wanted. Life's been too easy on her.
10:43
She doesn't deserve it. She ought to lose it, her life or
10:46
the necklace. The necklace, of course, you know, for reasons I
10:50
can't go into. I think you'll be sorry you said that some days.
10:52
Sorry. Why she's a woman who's at everything. You're pretty predator, aren't
10:56
you hurting a phrase? Am I I feel something big may have passed you
10:58
by and put up that tight bright front for protection. But inside your time
11:03
of nuts and what is your recommendation? Doctor? A man? Perhaps that's
11:07
the usual advice you said it. I didn't. Well you're a man,
11:09
Johnny. Why don't you smooch with me? Be a way of passing the
11:13
evening killing time? All right? What are you Johnny Wade? Johnny what?
11:24
Why did you do it? Because you wanted me to? And because
11:28
I wanted to adventure mystery danger? Who's bored? Who's going back to the
11:37
city? Those doctors are right? What's the dollar? Could I talk to
11:48
you for a minute? Why not? Surety? What's on your mind?
11:50
I don't know exactly why you call assault to get her? And it was
11:54
missus Cronin's idea. She set it up with me earlier. Well, I
11:56
ain't gonn nothing to do with what I wanted to say. You've seen me
11:58
in a bad light they yesterday or Dolly's apartment. Wow, Well you found
12:01
a gun and me you know about my record, and made it look better.
12:05
I know it did, But so help me, mister Dollar. Everything
12:09
I told you was the gospel truth. Yeah, I'd break my arm before
12:11
I do anything to harm Dolly in the least bit. You see, I've
12:16
been in love with a woman for eighty five years, liked to broken heart
12:18
when she married Barnaby, but I always know it didn't have no chance right
12:24
from the start. She was up there big. Somebody me it was a
12:28
nobody, but I'd still die for any time. That's all, mister Dollar.
12:33
I just wanted you to know. They were all there gathering around the
12:39
big dining table, watching me and waiting. Missus Crowlin had asked me to
12:43
arrange it. She said that was the main reason they'd come, and she
12:46
didn't want to disappoint them. I told them that, and then I took
12:50
the circle of Fire from my pocket and laid it on the table. They
12:54
all reacted in different ways. Laura Deane gave a gasp and her eyes open
12:58
wide, and Sylvia look at it, just look as Sylvia Blake was fascinated
13:03
hypnotize. Yeah, you should have seen an Anna Beck in the old days.
13:07
It sparkled even twice as much. So that's what this is all about.
13:11
It so only Jillry I've seen it. But there was one special reaction
13:13
I was looking for, and I got it. Jason Prell's face went white.
13:18
I could imagine anything so beautiful, mister Prell, you seem surprised.
13:22
I wasn't carrying the necklace in its case, the case you stole from me
13:26
on the train. I was carrying it loose in my pocket. What did
13:31
you do? Throw the case off the train without even bothering. I went
13:35
after him, but he'd already disappeared somewhere down the hall. He knew the
13:39
layout of the house and I didn't. I searched the different rooms quickly as
13:43
I passed, but there was no sign up. He couldn't have reached the
13:46
floors above, but he might have gone down toward the game Roman lower halls.
13:48
I eased my gun from its holster and started slowly down the stairs,
13:54
and at that moment every light in the house went out. Johnny Dollar,
14:16
Hello, Sheriff. I can't hear for the storm. We were cut off
14:20
before. Hello, Is that you, Sheriff? I said, Hello?
14:28
Get cut off again, mister Dollar. Not this time, shorty. Somebody
14:31
cut the wire. The phone's dead. Then we've got no way getting wet
14:35
out, no way getting out, No, not at the moment. And
14:37
he's out there in the duck somewhere. He's got a gun and it's no
14:39
told him, what do you make get away? When I went off?
14:45
Wow, we know where he is now and what he intends because he just
14:48
made a try at it. The only thing I can do, Shorty,
14:52
go get him before he gets me. Tonight and every weekday Night Bob Bailey

15:43
lapels and one shoulder ripped by a bullet. Also one pair of slacks to
15:46
match destroyed a few minutes later in the mud, slush and underbrush and the
15:50
grounds of the Cronan place while pursuing a suspect who had already tried twice to
15:54
kill me and who made a third go at it when I stepped out of
15:56
the side door of the house. I'll wait from the door. Quick boy.
16:06
You could see the door opening, but he can't see us. Not
16:07
in this miss He's desperate, he's shooting blind. Look, shorty, why
16:15
don't you go on back in the house. There's no reason for you taking
16:17
chance. It's like this, you're taking him with me. It's a job
16:18
of work. I get paid for it. I told you earlier. I
16:22
know about Dully. I mean, I don't know what Jason Prole's game is,
16:25
Missa Dolla, but if it's against her, then I'm against him.
16:27
I'm streamed, all right, it's up to you. Thanks for giving me
16:30
the gunpack emergency, that's all. You've got a prison record, shorty.
16:33
You know what it means if you're caught with a gun. Yeah good,
16:40
I figured Prelad give himself away. If he kept that up. I got
16:41
him spotted now at the base of that tall pine a little to the left.
16:45
Watch for it. The next flash you're lightning day. Yeah, yeah,
16:49
no, I see it. I know that. When you mean,
16:52
then stay here and keep him pinned down. It's a good spot. You've
16:55
got cover from the wall of the terrace there. What are you going to
16:56
circle? Around and come up easide him. Just throw us shout at the
17:00
base of that pine tree now and keep'em tied down, keep'em busy.
17:02
He got it right, and good luck. I left the shelter of
17:08
the house and started edging through the shrubbery. The undergrowth was a regular jungle.
17:12
It would have been impossible to slip up on Pearl without his hearing if
17:15
it hadn't been for the storm. Shorty Webber fired now and then of the
17:18
pine tree, and twice Peil fired and answering. Jason prel so called friend
17:25
of old Missus Cronin knew I had him tagged at first. I'd been guessing
17:27
mainly, but he didn't know it. And he lost his head and made
17:30
the guests prove out. And now he was apparently ready to risk murder or
17:33
death rather than face a prison term. I was within thirty feet him.
17:38
He hadn't heard a sound. He was still firing it. Shorty over on
17:41
the terrace. His back was turned partly toward me. He didn't know I
17:44
was near, so I leveled my gun. Get your hands up, Pearl,
17:47
drop that gun. You cover it. He quarreled, peering into the
17:51
darkness of the Bush was trying to see me. He knew I was close,
17:52
but he couldn't tell where. He raised his gun started to turn,
17:56
and I'm not quite certain what happened next. The light was bad and I
18:00
could hardly see him. Whether he stumbled accidentally or or what is something I'll
18:03
never know. All I know is that when I walked over to him,
18:08
he was dead. There was no good list a dollar. I always thought
18:17
so, but Dolly swore by me and her fool What about Barnaby, her
18:21
husband? He couldn't stay in pull at first? Lady, they got a
18:23
tickets teaves. Yeah, well it's a mess, shorty, a real mess.
18:27
All things that should have stayed dead and buried on the bottom, they're
18:30
all coming to the surface. Now tell me something, list a dollar?
18:33
Yeah? What about Dolly? Is this thing when a kick back on?
18:37
Huh? Will she get hurt by it? Yeah? Surely, I am
18:40
afraid she will, pretty badly. It was deep into the night, edging
18:48
toward dawn. When I got back to the house, I changed out of
18:52
my wet clothes, went to the game room and got Dolly's necklace from under
18:55
a chair cushion. I'd stuck it there when Pearl had pulled the main switch
18:57
and put the lights out. Then I went upstairs to look in on Dli
19:02
chronin quietly, just a check. But it didn't work out that way.
19:08
Johnny, Is that you? Yeah, I didn't mean to wake you.
19:14
You didn't. I've been awake most of the night. Morning, Johnny,
19:18
all right, how you feeling just fine? There's nothing wrong with me.
19:27
I feel fine good. It's Laura Deane, a nice girl. Huh,
19:33
yes she is, and I'm glad she came company for you. Johnny.
19:38
Oh, yeah, quite a storm we had, wasn't it. It was
19:42
beautiful, all that lightning, wind, thunder. Oh. I haven't seen
19:48
such a beautiful storm since I was a little Johnny thought. I heard shots
19:55
a while ago, shots outdoors after the woods where one might have been a
20:02
lightning thunder sounded like a gun, like somebody shooting. Well, sound plays
20:07
funny tricks up here in the mountains, I guess so. But well,
20:14
I've been thinking back over the past so much that makes the president a little
20:18
unreal. I'm afraid the past it's about all I have left now. I
20:23
don't be so quick to sell this future of your short You've got a lot
20:26
of years yet good years. I had a lot of good years, good
20:33
friends, good times, a good life. The best of all was bound
20:40
Toby. You loved him very much, didn't you, missus Cronnin. I
20:45
wish him. He was perfect, never did a wrong thing in his life.
20:52
Now that he's gone, is the one fine memory I always cling to.
21:00
I didn't have that there. I just couldn't go on. Well,
21:06
then let's hope you never lose that memory. Of course, there were other
21:11
good friends too over the years, like Jason Prell. He is so quiet
21:18
and withdrawn. It takes a long time to get to know him. There's
21:23
been such a good friend to me. It's a patient with all this silly
21:29
ignorance of mine about business problems. Yes, I'm sure he has. I
21:33
just don't know what I do without him. Yeah, Now, don't you
21:38
think you'd better get some sleep in a little while? No journey, It's
21:45
funny. I think it's worked out in one way. I was born and
21:49
grew up right here in this village. Yes, your housekeeper, Miss Evden,
21:55
told me that two of you were girls together. They were inseparable.
21:59
Black said, I grew up here and then I went away Barnaby, and
22:04
I came back and built this house, and we went away again. We're
22:11
always so many places to go, new things to do. It's a big
22:15
world, isn't it. And finally Barnaby came back the last time and died
22:22
here all alone, poor boy. And now I've come back place where I
22:30
was born. Everything finally comes home, doesn't it, Johnny, Yes,
22:41
really always. I'm very tired. I think I will sleep now. Be
22:48
good for you. The necklace, Johnny, do you have it with you?
22:51
I sure do. You are so beautiful and so many memories, oh
23:00
so long ago. Put it on me, will do Johnny? Of course?
23:07
Reason now just a love? Yeah? How do I look sweet enough
23:15
to kiss? Well? Nice? You gotta sleep now, yes, sir.
23:23
I'll only look at the necklace for one minute only. Then I'll take
23:29
my pills and go to sleep. Then I'll dream up a dream, a
23:34
great big dream. Good night, dancing, darling. It's been a long
23:45
time since anyone called me that, A long long time. Good night,
23:52
Johnny, thank you. I left joun one downstairs and rustle myself a pot
24:00
of coffee. I sat down by a nice window and drank a cup after
24:04
cup and watched the morning sun come up dream a big dream. Well before
24:11
many more hours, she was going to need a big dream. There was
24:14
no way of keeping it from her. All of it, the fact that
24:15
Jason Prell was dead shot, that he'd attempted murder and tried to steal on
24:19
necklace, and worst of all, that her beloved Barnaby had probably been as
24:23
big a crook as prel Is it all right? If a girl who can't
24:30
sleeps, is this one out with you? Sure? Pull up a chair,
24:33
Laura, like some coffee, just black? Thank you. I guess
24:38
it wouldn't do much good to ask you what's been going on around here all
24:41
night? Something als like I said. I guess it wouldn't do much good.
24:45
Here's your coffee. Thanks. That's how I found you, Just followed
24:49
the smell of this coffee. Good. I guess if I said I heard
24:55
somebody shooting up the place during the storm, you just say really never used
24:59
the word. And I guess if I showed you that broken window over there,
25:02
you'd say, maybe a pigeon flew in. Might if I happen to
25:03
think of it, I'm sorry, I'll just kept your way. Well,
25:07
don't apologize. I probably wouldn't have slept anyway, Why not guilty conscience?
25:11
Don't be silly. I didn't even do it. Do what whatever it is
25:15
I'm supposed to feel guilty about lying, is what I had in mind at
25:18
the moment. Oh I do that all the time, but I never feel
25:21
guilty about it. I just call it making up things by claiming you were
25:23
the niece of Fritzie Morraless Cronin's oldest friends, count my windpipe, by claiming
25:32
you're Fritzie Morral's niece. Mostly I drink tea, but you already had the
25:34
coffee claiming you're friend? Right? All right? How'd you find out?
25:41
Nothing very spectacular? She just didn't have a niece. I wasn't sure,
25:45
but I thought she must. Everybody her age has at least one niece.
25:48
What was the idea? Well, well, I lived in the same rooming.
25:53
How she did. She liked me, talk to me a lot before
25:56
she died last year. So the invitation came last week. I got the
26:00
idea of going as her niece. I didn't mean any harm by it.
26:03
I just wanted to go to the party, all right, Relax, That's
26:10
about the way I figured it. Well, it turned out to be quite
26:14
a party, didn't I. I hope I never see another one like this
26:17
is Johnny, Johnny, what's wrong with her? It was miss Etheton.
26:23
I got up slowly from my chair as she walked towards us and then stopped
26:26
a few feet from the table. Her eyes were fixed on something far away,
26:30
and the look on her face was strange and grim. I think I
26:34
knew even before she spoke Missus Cronin is dead. There'll be another intriguing episode
27:00
our story of the Kronin matter tomorrow Tomorrow. The questions and the answers for
27:03
the living and the dead, a final payoff, and fate itself plays the
27:08
last Trump Join us, won't you? Yours Truly? Shine Dollar? Yours
27:26
Truly? Johnny Doller starring Bob Bailey is transcribed in Hollywood, written by Les
27:32
Crutchfield. It is produced and directed by Jack john Stone. Be sure to
27:36
join us tomorrow night at same time and station for the next exciting episode of
27:41
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, Roy Rowan speaking welcome back. Well, there
28:45
are a couple of things in this episode just really uh emblematic of what I
28:53
love so much about this run of Johnny Dowler. First of all, you
28:57
have the scene with Missus Cronin and Johnny Dowler just absolutely priceless. It's that
29:07
ability to connect that tenderness that Bob Bailey brings to the role. And then
29:12
you just have that perfect teaser for Friday's show. If you were sitting there
29:21
listening to this in nineteen fifty five, how could you not tune in on
29:26
Friday? Just absolutely absolutely makes you want to find out what's going to happen
29:33
next. So good writing, great acting, and that right area is in
29:40
a nutshell what makes this program so great, as well as the stores that
29:45
are available to it. All right, Well, listener comments and feedback,
29:48
and we begin with one from Mark, who's written to us before. Long
29:52
time my friend at the show says, Dude, we get that you don't
29:56
like the giant animal commercials on John A Dollar. You don't need to tell
30:02
us about it every time one shows up. Well, Mark, I definitely
30:07
appreciate the feedback, and I'll take it into consideration of future shows. When
30:11
dealing with us somewhat trying commercials, I will say in my defense that we
30:21
that not only were these commercials troublesome, but I had to listen to them
30:26
ten times in a week. Now, say what you want about the Clipper
30:30
Craft ants, which could be at times cheesy, tone deaf, just playing
30:38
over the top. You only had to listen to those once a week.
30:41
You get basically the same commercial five days a week, two times a show.
30:48
So it's hard not to comment on. But thanks for the feedback.
30:52
I appreciate it all right. Well, we have a comment on Facebook from
30:57
David who talk on the last episode of The Big Guy. David said,
31:03
wasn't too sure about this series at first, but this episode episode was great.
31:07
We wish there were at least a few more to hear well, I
31:10
definitely agree. There are so many shows we've played on the show. I
31:15
love to play the short series just to give you a samples out there,
31:18
but a lot of them leave you one and more. Laugh in your hands,
31:23
Leonitis witherall the Quarro series with Harold Hoober, particularly that they had a
31:33
daily serial that they aired over CBS only two episodes in existence, not a
31:40
complete series, so I couldn't bring you that, but it definitely leaves you
31:47
one and more. Well, this one's not one that I Big Guy's not
31:51
one I'm particularly optimistic about. I'll keep an eye out see if I stumble
31:56
across anything. All right, well, that'll do it for today. Join
32:00
us tomorrow we'll be bringing you Sherlock Holmes, and then on Friday we're going
32:07
to find out the conclusion to the Cronin matter. In the meantime, send
