- 2:57sixty three cents transportation by air Hartford to Denver. Item two twenty eight to
- 3:00fifty Denver to Grand Junction, a place busy and bustling with uranium hopefuls.
- 3:06Third expenditure one hundred dollars deposit and rental on a car, which I used
- 3:09to drive one hundred and five miles through the rugged mountains due north of Grand
- 3:14Junction to Clinton, Colorado, a place that the rental agents had described as
- 3:17a sleepy little mountain town. When I got there, everybody was running in
- 3:23the direction of what was very shortly not going to be the new school building.
- 3:30Like everybody else in Clinton, Colorado, I spent the next three hours
- 3:32or so helping to try and get the fire under control. Then finally I
- 3:38left the scene and located the Northern Hotel, where the clerk was standing by
- 3:42waiting for me. Mister Dollar. Uh yeah, Operator eighteen, New York
- 3:46City has been calling you for the last four hours. Uh, mister Davies,

- 3:57bags up to three ten. I shaved it, showered, changed clothes,
- 4:02and un facts. From my window, I could see the still blowing embers
- 4:05of the fire red against the winter nights. The school building was completely destroyed.
- 4:11Beyond the snow covered rockies rose all about the town of Clinton, which
- 4:14I had yet to see. Johnny Dollar, I have your call now,
- 4:21mister Dollar. Oh good, thanks, Johnny all say, I've been trying
- 4:27to get to you all day. I thought you're gonna let me know the
- 4:29minute you got into town. Well, there was a fire here. Al
- 4:31I had to pitching and help along with everybody else. I see. Well
- 4:34as Osborne contacted you yet about this case? Osborne? Who's there Julian Osborne?
- 4:40Look, I talked to him in Clinton last night. He said he'd
- 4:42wait around the hotel until you showed up. He lives there, Johnny.
- 4:46He drove into Denver two days ago and told the insurance broker he thought of
- 4:48building the Great Eastern Fidelity covered was in real bad shape. Now what building?
- 4:53Well, a new school that they just put up there, Johnny,
- 4:56Alan was in bad shape, worse shape now fell down about four hours ago.
- 5:01That was the fire album. Oh wow, Great easterns in for two
- 5:08hundred thousand dollars. Look, Johnny, contact Julian Osburn and see what he
- 5:12has to say, right, and call me back when you find out what's
- 5:15what? So long? Yes, mister Dollar, may I help you?
- 5:26Yeah? Do you have a city directory here in Clinton. We aren't that
- 5:29small here. It is right here. Good. After all, we have
- 5:33fourteen thousand, two undred and sixty three people. Okay, thanks, I
- 5:38know most of them, mister dollar. What do you want to get in
- 5:40touch with a man named Julian Osborn Julian Osburn, Yeah, I know him.
- 5:46I didn't know him, but it came over the radio a little while
- 5:47ago. They found his body in the fire. He burned to death.
- 5:57A four block walk down the icy streets of the town. Took me to
- 6:00the Sheriff's office and face to face with a heavy set, alish looking man
- 6:03named Dougherty, Sheriff Paul Doherty. He smiled professionally and until I got around
- 6:09to inquiring about Julian Osborn. Oh, well you his family? No,
- 6:15No, I made the trip here to Clinton to see him, especially though
- 6:19I just heard he was killed in the fire. Yes, yes, it's
- 6:23too bad about mister Osbourne. I don't quite understand about it. Though.
- 6:27He was school janitor. Oh what what was your business with him, mister
- 6:32Dolley Insurance investigation. Oh, your husband reported the possibility of something wrong with
- 6:40the new school. He did to who to our brokers in Denver? That's
- 6:45why they sent me out here where your trip was for nothing. Then maybe
- 6:50you think if he had anything like that on his mind, he'd have come
- 6:53to me, wouldn't he? Yes? Did he? No? No?
- 6:58Used to pass him on the street. I ever said a word. Where's
- 7:01the body? Mord I wouldn't go over there, son. I want to
- 7:06contact some of his family's friends. Well, that might be hard to do.
- 7:12No family here, no close friends. Used to prospect for a living
- 7:15until he got kind of old. Then he took the job janitoring. Lived
- 7:20right there in the basement of the school. City'll bury him. I see
- 7:26how long have you worked at the school? Six months since the place was
- 7:30built? Who hired him? Principal? Floria Hawkins? Florie Hawkins? Where
- 7:34can I find her? Lives on Pearson Street. That's one block over and
- 7:39two blocks to your left, number three twenty six, three twenty six person,
- 7:44that's right when sun bad night to go calling on her? I'd like
- 7:56to see missus Hawkins please, I'm miss Hawkins. Well, I'm an insurance
- 8:00investigator. My name is Johnny Dollar Insurance. Yes, why do you want
- 8:03to talk to me? Well, I'll be frank with you, Miss Hawkins.
- 8:07I came to Clinton to talk to Julian Osborne. Oh you heard he
- 8:11died in the fire. Yes, I heard it. Tragic. I'm so
- 8:16thankful school was an in session today. Come in, thank you. I
- 8:24know this has been a pretty grueling day for you, for everyone in this
- 8:26town, Miss Hawkins, losing his school and all. I wouldn't call on
- 8:31you except I feel it's important. Excuse me, please? Sure hello?
- 8:37Who? Yes? Sure? Yes, he is right now. Yes.
- 8:48Nice. There's just a couple of questions I'd like you to answer about Julian
- 8:54Osmond. So I can said. I can't help you with anything, mister
- 8:56Dollar. What you will have to go now? Oh? Look, now,
- 9:01wait a minute, if if you don't eat, I don't want to
- 9:03be impolite, but I'm tired, very tired. Yeah, sure that phone
- 9:13call war you? Uh please? All right, all right, I'll go
- 9:16to Miss Hawkins. But I think you should know why I came here.
- 9:20I can assure you, mister Dollar, whatever the reason, I'm simply not
- 9:24interested. I was sent here because Julian Osborne advised the insurance company that he
- 9:28suspected certain building A regularities had gone into the new school. Miss Hawkins did
- 9:33mister Osburne ever mention anything like this to you. No, you have an
- 9:37idea to whom he might have confided such information here in Clinton. No,
- 9:41I rather think he was imagining things. You notice nothing irregular yourself, No,
- 9:48of course not. Would that call you just had from Sheriff Dougherty cause
- 9:54you not to notice anything? Is that all? I'm dreadfully tired. Thanks
- 10:01for your time, ole, Miss Hawkins. Yes, if Sheriff Doherty calls
- 10:07again, tell him I'm at the Northern Hotel. Northern Hotel, good night,
- 10:15mister Dollar expense account at him four ten dollars and eighty cents one long
- 10:22distance call to New York. I gotta tell Davies out of bed and told
- 10:26him the fate of Julian Osmond. Davies requested me to stay on in Clinton
- 10:30to see the matter through. About eleven o'clock that night, I walked over
- 10:33to the site where the new school had once stood. A few farmen and
- 10:37policemen were still around, searching the ashes by the light of landards and spotlights.
- 10:41One of them told me the cause of the fire had not he had
- 10:43been determined. I started back to my hotel, turning a corner by an
- 10:46alley. Two men in dark clothes were holding a third man in the sheepskin.
- 10:50A fourth man was getting him the works. Well, hey, just
- 10:56come in here, got it? You need some helpless everybody needs help.
- 11:09Let me tell you who I am before you help me. Maybe you won't
- 11:11want to easy. Just take it easy now, I'm David Baines. You're
- 11:18from out of town, aren't you. Yes, I thought so. I
- 11:24architected that school that isn't anymore. Oh, don't you understand, Samaritan.
- 11:31Don't you see that group of citizens who are working me over just now have
- 11:37kids? The kids could have been in there when the fire broke out.
- 11:41I'm afraid. I'm afraid they feel I don't design especially good buildings. I
- 11:50took David Baines over to my hotel room, still half unconscious from the beating.
- 11:54I sent the bellboy out for bandages. I had iron had something to
- 11:56take off the show. While I would patching him up, I was thinking
- 12:01how he'd stood there and taken that beating, stood there in side of half
- 12:05a dozen policemen and farman and let them do that to him. Try a
- 12:11little more. Thanks Johnny Dollar, insurance investigator. I came here about the
- 12:22school. I see you want to beat me up. To company you're working
- 12:28for, will be Liable, wants some more of this. When'd you say
- 12:33your name is Dollar, Johnny Dollar, mister Dollar, I'm in a curious
- 12:39position. I designed the school. I planned every feature of it, but
- 12:43I had nothing to do with the building. You don't believe me. I
- 12:48wish you'd explain that. A week before they broke ground, a very important
- 12:52thing happened to me, mister Dollar. I went to Europe. I couldn't
- 12:56pass it up. There was a chance to study for another year under some
- 13:00men I admired all my life. Consider it a scholarship, mister Baines,
- 13:05that's what he said. Who said? The man who paid my way to
- 13:07Europe? His name was Roy Vickery. So I went to Europe and I
- 13:11studied. I came back and my building was all built. Now it's burnt
- 13:16down. I'm a local boy who's made bad, very bad. Who's Roy
- 13:22Vickery, the contractor who built it? I better talk to him, Yes,
- 13:28talk to him. By all means. You represent a rich and powerful
- 13:31company, mister Dollar. But in Clinton, you're wasting your time. You
- 13:37learn no facts, no information. Nothing helpful from anyone here, particularly Roy
- 13:41Vickery. You're in a tight hot, mean little burg. Mister Dollar.
- 13:48All right, let's have it. Why is that building fired on purpose?
- 13:54I just told you you won't find out anything in this town from Hollywood.
- 14:13It's time now for Johnny Dellar David Baines. Hi, how's it going this
- 14:22morning. I'm staying off the streets. I don't want to be beat up
- 14:24again. I'd advise you to do the same. I can't very well do
- 14:28that. The city of Clinton has filed claiming for their school building. I
- 14:30have to make an investigation. You're bucking a rough crowd, mister Dollar.
- 14:33Where did you meet them all? I intend to I admire you, but
- 14:35I think you're foolish. Good luck? Just a minute. What not only
- 14:39did a school building burn down yesterday, but a man died in that fire?
- 14:43If there was something wrong with it, I want to get to the
- 14:46bottom of it, I expect help from you too. I'll stay here until
- 14:52I hear from you. Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to United
- 15:03Adjustment Bureau, four eighteen West sixty first Street, New York City. The
- 15:07following is an accounting of expended yours during my investigation of the Clinton matter.
- 15:13That's Clinton Colorado expense accunt adem five eighty cents. Telegram to dot In Company,
- 15:18Denver insurance brokers who would handle the policies covering the new school building in
- 15:22Clinton. I requested them to forward copies of the policies. Had them six
- 15:26ten cents, one copy of the Clinton Times and the full story on the
- 15:30fire. It was believed by fire Chief Henley that the fire had started because
- 15:35of overheated boilers in the heating system. Dollar is it? That's right?
- 15:41I'm an insurance investigator. Yeah, Well, what can I do for you?
- 15:46Tell me about the fire yesterday? You sound like you're carrying a chip
- 15:50on your shoulder. Is the dollar? We had word that building irregularities were
- 15:54suspected in that school. Chief. The word came from the janitor, Julian
- 15:56Osborn. He burned to death in that yesterday and the building's gone. Now,
- 16:02you get as head up as you want. A boy, I got
- 16:03my own troubles. I'll tell you what we think and you can take it
- 16:07whether you like it or not. We think old Julian and husband might have
- 16:11passed out, got drunk, or had a heart attack in that building.
- 16:14We think something like that happened, and the boilers kept right on going and
- 16:18built up the pressure. We think the boilers exploded. The fire started and
- 16:22that was that. And why do you think the whole place went on?
- 16:25Because it spread so fast? Why did it spread? I didn't build a
- 16:30building. I just took care of the fire. You're going to have to
- 16:34change your attitude around here if you want anybody to cooperate with you. I
- 16:38can tell me this. Why on a day when school wasn't in session would
- 16:42those boilers be fired of at all? I don't know, Chief. Last
- 16:47night I talked to Sheriff Dougherty trying to get information about julian Osbond. He
- 16:51didn't know anything either. I also talked to Florrie Hawkins, the school principle.
- 16:55She didn't know. Now you don't know anything. Who does. I've
- 16:59done my job. I've determined call. You've also given me a chance to
- 17:03look at you, which was about the only reason I came here. I'll
- 17:07get information elsewhere, Chief, that some people in this town will want to
- 17:10talk and tell me things. You and your sheriff and whoever else is involved
- 17:14can't keep every mouth in this town. Shut and I'll tell you like I
- 17:18told miss Hawkins, I'm at the Northern Hotel. In case you remember anything.
- 17:23I can't hear you, boy, not one word Expencer count Item seven,
- 17:33do already breakfast in the coffee shop of my hotel for myself and David
- 17:37Baines, who still looked badly battered from the beating he'd taken the night before.
- 17:41You're taking a chance sitting here with me. Help you realize that,
- 17:45am I? I'm public enemy number one in this town. I'm the man
- 17:48who built the school that didn't stay up what Baines? I want you to
- 17:52tell me all about it? If you have any information or knowledge that would
- 17:56be helpful in this investigation, then you better give out with it right now.
- 18:00Specifically, do you want to know first the town? Do you know
- 18:03what this place is? It's a backyard and only the rich kids can play
- 18:07here. Vickery, Hanley Doherty, those are the rich kids, mister Dollar.
- 18:11The rest of us are well, we live across the tracks. Let's
- 18:15start with Vickery. He's a builder, not only here, all over these
- 18:19mountains, Grand Junction, Rifle, Masa, all over. He's got a
- 18:23million dollars and a million angles. He's the one who sent me to Europe
- 18:26to study for a year after I completed my plans for the new building.
- 18:30Got me out of the way. Okay, Fire Chief Hanley a friend of
- 18:33Vickery's, and any friend of Vickerys is going to get rich one way or
- 18:38another. Sheriff Doughty, he keeps the law orderly for Vickery, very necessary.
- 18:45Okay, Then the fire itself, Chief Hanley says the school boilers blew
- 18:48up and caused the fire. There was no reason for those boilers to be
- 18:52fired up, no reason. If they were fired, they were fired to
- 18:55blow up. They had automatic shut off equipment. What about Julian Osmen,
- 18:59you say, he notified the broker in Denver that something was wrong with the
- 19:02building, and that's how you got here. I don't know. They might
- 19:04have fired it for money too. I told you I was in Europe until
- 19:07they constructed it. I got back in Clinton four days ago. I went
- 19:11over to see my building. They used my outside drawing dollar wooden beams where
- 19:17I indicated steel girders. Only half the plumbing and heating system. Other things
- 19:22looked like they'd made it up, as they went along. Did you talk
- 19:23to anybody about it? Well? Sure, the contractor, Victory Vickory.
- 19:29He told me to keep my mouth shut and be a good boy. You
- 19:32think he got you out of town during the construction so you wouldn't interfere.
- 19:34I think so. I'm not important, but it was the easiest way.
- 19:38I understand. Mister Vickery is a little unpopular today. What a delegation went
- 19:45out to his house to hang him or something? Bains was partially right.
- 19:51A delegation had gone out to see Roy Vickery and his polysh frind Aveine at
- 19:53the end of town. They were still there when I drove up in my
- 19:56rented car twenty or thirty. I rates citizen, just demanding an explanation for
- 20:00the lost school. Ten uniformed men from Sheriff Dougherty's office formed a half moon
- 20:04circle in front of the main entrance. Their hosts unbuckled. The sheriff himself
- 20:08was directing the operation. All right, just a minute there, Hello,
- 20:12Sheriff, Eh Johnny Dollar, I talked to you last night. Oh yeah,
- 20:17Chief Hanley called me about you. The Chief called you, and last
- 20:21night you called Florie Hawkins. That was nice. Keep the wires burning.
- 20:23Chief said you came over to see him, used abusive language, tried to
- 20:27cause trouble. The chief was mistaken. I wasn't trying to cause trouble,
- 20:30Sheriff. There's enough of that in this time. I was just trying to
- 20:33find out how the fire started. Yesterday. The chief told you how it
- 20:37started. I didn't believe him. Now, what do you think of that?
- 20:41You'd better watch your step around here, mister Dollar. You seem to
- 20:45be looking for arguments all the time at all, Sheriff. I'm misunderstood.
- 20:48We understand you, all right. O's mister Vickery. He's all right,
- 20:52and he's going to stay all right. I'm sure he will. But these
- 20:56people don't like this school burning down. It's expensive. Also, their kids
- 21:00could have been in it. I want to see mister Vickery about that.
- 21:03He isn't seeing anyone, mister Dollar, and we aren't letting anybody in to
- 21:07see him. Really, did any of you people hear that? Now?
- 21:12Look here, hey, listen, folks, listen to me. Will you
- 21:15look now, listen, I'm an insurance investigator. I'm worried about what happened
- 21:19to your school yesterday. Keep quiet, they tell me, mister Vickery built
- 21:25that school. The architect who designed it said it wasn't built of his specifications.
- 21:30Now I want to go in and ask mister Vickery about that. The
- 21:33sheriff here doesn't want me to do that. I'll get you for this dollar.
- 21:37Wait a minute, the sheriff just said, I'll get you for this
- 21:41all right, hold it, hold it please please now listen to me.
- 21:45Listen, I'll put it to the sheriff again so you can all hear.
- 21:49Sheriff, I want to go in and see mister Vickery on business. Wow,
- 21:57go ahead, thank you. In a direction from Sheriff Dherty, the
- 22:08wedge of deputies opened up long enough for me to walk through the wrought iron
- 22:11gating up the steps to the vicory mansion. That tall man in a white
- 22:15jacket answered the door and ushered me into a den that was stuck with good
- 22:18liquor and big leather chairs. Finding a big man in a blue suit walked
- 22:22in. He had lots of good teeth and there wasn't an ounce of fat
- 22:26on his two hundred and thirty pounds. I'm Roy Vickery. It was quite
- 22:30an act with Jeff Daugherty just now I watched you from upstairs. That's a
- 22:34good safe place to watch from, mister Vickory. Now the jury, and
- 22:37what can I do for you? Tell me everything you can about that school
- 22:41building. The city of Clinton made a claim yet, yes, two hundred
- 22:47thousand dollars. Building in contents got in town pretty fast. We heard there
- 22:51might be something wrong with that building before the fire. Apparently there was.
- 22:55Who told you a thing like that? Julian Osband he's dead now you know.
- 23:00Oh well, two boilers explode and there's something wrong with the building.
- 23:03Is that the way you people figure? Yep? Well so do we,
- 23:07and we couldn't find anything wrong. Who's we officially? Where the civic construction
- 23:12department? We just had a meeting. He thought we ought to. Yeah,
- 23:18I figured those people hanging around outside should be worrying. Well, they
- 23:21don't worry me, and you don't worry me. A drunken janitor goes to
- 23:23sleep and lets the boilers kick up and the joint blows apart and burns down.
- 23:29That's what we decided in the meeting. It was a terrible accident.
- 23:33We'll have to use an old garage or something for a school. But then
- 23:37we'll get around to building another school with the insurance money we have coming.
- 23:42And that's that. That's that, mister Vickery. I'd like a copy of
- 23:48the specifications that went into that building, anything at all? You are,
- 23:56okay? That'll do for now. Good, Now you can get out of
- 24:00my house. Dollar you smell smoke. There were fifty pages of specifications on
- 24:10the building materials used in the construction of that school. They looked all right.
- 24:15They also looked as though they could have been forgery. Expense account item
- 24:21ate six dollars one bottle of whiskey for David Baines and myself in my hotel
- 24:25room. Pains went over the specifications page by page. Okay, what do
- 24:33you think? These are my specifications? More or less, this is what's
- 24:37on paper that went into the building. How about what actually went into it?
- 24:40Well, a little I saw they cut corners everywhere. The outside was
- 24:44just a shell of this stuff. Yeah, sure, these are my notes.
- 24:45I can remember this much. Can you remember it? In front of
- 24:48a notary? I want a sworn statement. I don't know you what,
- 24:55don't look at me that way. You can get my statement, and possibly
- 24:59I have a dozen other statements on paper. You'd have a case, then
- 25:03what would you do? Go to the district attorney. We haven't got a
- 25:06district attorney. We got a county attorney who's elected for a four year term.
- 25:10All right, I'll go to him, Vickery. Then i'll go to
- 25:11somebody else, the insurance Commission. You try to go any farther, they'll
- 25:17kill your dollar. I'll let me worry about that, now, would you
- 25:18make a statement? Sorry, that kill me too. And that's the way
- 25:29matters stood in Plinton, Colorado, twenty four hours after the new school building
- 25:33had burned down and a man had died in the flames. Everyone seemed to
- 25:37know it was all wrong, but no one was willing to do anything about
- 25:40it. Johnny Dollar, Hell Dollar, Roy Victory, Well, you go
- 25:47over those specifications, Yes, I did, very thoroughly. Well I think
- 25:52they're fakes, mister Victory. I didn't ask you your opinion, Dollar,
- 25:56but you've got it. Well, I'm sure you're entitled when you're leaving town.
- 26:02Not for a while, I was kind of hoping you'd be leaving,
- 26:06like in about an hour. Make good connections. Then, sorry, I
- 26:10haven't really gotten around as much as I want to yet. You saw me.
- 26:14I can tell you anything. I'll get around to you again. Get
- 26:17out of town Dollar Now, Vickory, there are times when I don't hear
- 26:22good. Now, here's our star to tell you about Tomorrow's intriguing episode of
- 26:44this week's story. Tomorrow a lady who promised to love, honor and obey
- 26:48a building inspector but wound up a widow. Join us, won't you?
- 26:52Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Yours Truly Johnny Dollar is starring Bob Bailey, is
- 27:08transcribed in Hollywood, written by John Dawson. It is produced and directed by
- 27:14Jack Johnstone. Be sure to join us tomorrow night at the same time and
- 27:18station for the next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Roy Rowan speaking
- 28:25welcome back. Well. This is actually among one of my favorites of these
- 28:33five part serials, and I always appreciate it when our detective, who isn't
- 28:38always fighting government corruption really does come up against it, because I think it
- 28:47really adds something to the stakes of the story, where you know, it's
- 28:52a bigger issue than just a single insurance claim, you know. And of
- 28:59course I think the great thing about the corrupt government angle is that it is
- 29:08it's not one of those things. You know, there are certain things where
- 29:12if you know, there's political issues, but I don't think there's anybody out
- 29:17there who's like, yay corrupt government, so just makes it overall enjoyable.
- 29:22All right. Well, now we go to listener comments and feedback, and
- 29:29we begin over on Facebook where Alesha comments, I'm one of those thirty year
- 29:34olds that love listening to old time radio shows. I've actually been listening to
- 29:40them since I was in college and one of the radio stations had old time
- 29:42radio shows on Friday evenings. My big brother hooked me on them when he
- 29:48let me listen to a Lights Off Everyone show. I'm happy to say that
- 29:55during one of the Johnny Dollar shows, I was able to addict my older
- 29:57sister and her twelve year old daughter. Now they can't get enough of them
- 30:00either. Keep up the good work. Well, thank you so much,
- 30:04and Alisha and you keep up the good work as well, getting multiple members
- 30:11of the family listening. That's great. And we have this comment from Hazel,
- 30:18who writes, Hi, Adam, I've been listening to your show for
- 30:22the last couple of years. I look forward to each new episode every day,
- 30:26and I listen while I'm cooking, or cleaning, or just taking a
- 30:29break. The show really Brian's my day. Thanks for taking the time to
- 30:33do this. Since I know you've been keeping tabs on your younger listeners lately,
- 30:37I thought i'd tell you that I'm thirty two years old and I'm a
- 30:41part time English professor in Ottawa, Ontario. My current favorite show is Johnny
- 30:48Dollar, but I enjoy everything you provide. And then we have a comment
- 30:52from Donna, who says I am fifty eight years old and love listening to
- 30:56yours. Truly, Johnny Dollar, I love to hear your commentary about the
- 31:00show. Thank you so much for keeping this show alive. Well, thanks
- 31:03so much, Donna, and I appreciate we've got so many great listeners out
- 31:07there of all ages. Finally, wrap up, we have an iTunes review,
- 31:12this one from at altost four two five. I was getting tired of
- 31:18hearing music all the time and found old time radio. Love the broadcast and
- 31:22hearing the cast afterwards, and hearing actors who are not famous at the time.
- 31:27Well, thanks so much for listening. It's truly appreciated. That will
- 31:30actually do it for today. We will be back tomorrow. With mister Malone,
- 31:37and then be sure and listen to us on Wednesday as we continue the
- 31:41Clinton matter. In the meanwhile, send your comments to Box thirteen at Great
