• 9:48
  Because it's time somebody's been killed, all the more reasons for not saying anything.

• 10:37
  it. You think it's a mistake, though you wouldn't do it? H
• 10:43
  What do you mean I wouldn't do it. Sure, i'd do it,
• 10:46
  but I still think it's a mistake. If it was up to me,
• 10:48
  I do just what you're doing. But I can't see why you should be
• 10:52
  as stupid as I am. I haven't pounded a beat in a long time,
• 10:56
  and I could use the exercise. I see your boys, sit down,
• 11:13

• 11:54
  drink. I didn't come down here to play with you, you don't.
• 11:56
  I just what did you come down here for? Got three? You've been
• 12:00
  running numbers free and easy in this time for a long time. You know
• 12:03
  you've got every small businessman intimidated up to this, serving liut. You push
• 12:07
  them around, scat them to death, and make yourself about four million a
• 12:09
  year. You say that too. Now, A little guy named Goldberg doesn't
• 12:13
  want your lousy wrecking in the shop. So one tour or three of your
• 12:16
  gorillas try to change all the way you listen to what I have to say.

  three. I don't have to sit here and take anything from you. You
• 12:37
  do. Yeah, why didn't you ever throw that? No, that's not
• 12:41
  a bad idea. I think it's a fine idea. I'd love for you
• 12:45
  to start something. If I did, you'd be back time on the beach
• 12:48
  might be worth it. You trespassed without a warrant. We'll trust then get
• 12:52

• 12:56
  you both buckted right back to directing trap you in no sense? You know,

• 13:07
  was thrown out or have a busted well? One thing should go through.
• 13:11
  You and your muscle bound friend are out looking for trouble, and very honestly,
• 13:16
  I'm not a bit worried. So try and start all the trouble you
• 13:20
  can. There's no law says I gotta sit around while you're doing it.
• 13:24
  You're going somehow. Look, I put up with them all little. I
• 13:28
  don't set up to saying you're gonna listen to it like you're too bit for

• 13:35
  gone right. I don't understand who'll put you up to this? Huh?
• 13:37

• 13:41
  Who wants to ride me? You just don't get a thing, No explain
• 13:46
  it to me the lieutenants in a nasty mood. That's it. That's it.

• 13:56
  here. We say you're gonna listen, which is gonna be? Shoot off
• 14:05
  your face? Go ahead, get it off your back. You've got a
• 14:09
  lot of people scanned, you know, a lot of people worried about what
• 14:13
  you might do if they point out one of your boys. One of your
• 14:16
  boys went a little father time. I'm going to get him and I'm gonna
• 14:22

• 15:39
  Cally, Ben, would you mind telling me what in the world you were
• 15:43
  thinking about? You know what I was thinking about, Charlie. Since when
• 15:46
  have you gotten so holy or now I can remember a couple of times.
• 15:50
  Now, wait a minute, I haven't climbed up your back yet, shy,
• 15:54
  but I'm supposed to and you got it coming. Okay. Nobody likes
• 15:58
  mister Hud any less than I do. But we haven't got anything on him.
• 16:00
  He's still a citizen. He's got a bell of him, a rotten
• 16:03
  barrel. I don't care how rotten it is. It causes trouble. And
• 16:07
  you're a cop, seven of the people. You can't go pushing people around
• 16:11
  just because of the hot head, no matter who they are. Okay,
• 16:12
  Okay, what am I talking to? Get out of here? Say up
• 16:17
  in the morning. They should get out on the rights out of bed seven
• 16:19
  o'client. Yeah, man, yeah, you have fun, Yeah, Charlie,
• 16:27
  ah lot. We released the three U boys then got a man on
• 16:45
  each one of them, and hot they won't bother anyone. You don't.
• 16:48
  Probably send him out of town and work another city. What is to close
• 16:52
  up the fourth doors? You know all about? No, these are first
• 16:56
  offenses. Just make sure they don't put anymore number. These people couldn't afford
• 17:00
  to have the places closed. But there's a law against the well the people
• 17:06
  didn't make any money out of it. They wouldn't have broken the law if
• 17:08
  they hadn't been worried about getting the head the bucket, Appy that someone out
• 17:14
  here would like to see it, okay, longer than I under, what
• 17:22
  can we do for you? And I went over and talked to missus Goldberg
• 17:29
  for a while, and I went back and talked to me away. Yeah,
• 17:33
  what did you talk about about coming down here in the line up?
• 17:37
  When I said I couldn't identify any of the men he had come into my
• 17:41
  store, I lied, two of those men been in my store. They
• 17:48
  made me sell the numbers. They pushed me around. Which two men,
• 17:52
  Miss Sanderson, Tommy young Goode post get a phonography? I hear it this,
• 18:11
  Charlie. We can get two of these boys on mister Henderson's testimony.
• 18:14
  We might even make one of them crack and implicate, you thought, but
• 18:17
  we still won't nail anybody for the moon. That this's tough, And I'm
• 18:21
  just scared though, No, not these boys. But you will be plenty
• 18:25
  worried if he knows that we've got a witness that will send two of his
• 18:26
  boys to stir he put. We're that quiet until the trial is said.
• 18:32
  We just pick up Young and whole stamp and say nothing about mister Henderson.
• 18:34
  Well, he pick up mister Young and mister holstop. Yes, but I
• 18:38
  want you to to know who our witnesses. I have no witness at all.
• 18:42
  Henderson has agreed to help us out. He knows just what he's up
• 18:45
  against, donod Kellie. All he wants is his family to be out of
• 18:48
  the way in a safe place, and we can do that. But then,
• 18:52
  you know how tough it is to look sodas Henderson. I don't have
• 18:56
  three detectives on in twenty four hours a day, but I wanted to look
• 18:59
  like he's alone. You those no do me. He knows you wouldn't let
• 19:03
  a witness out on the streets without protection. Well, I'm gonna put an
• 19:06
  obvious man with Henderson. When we think one of you Tho's torpedoes are ready
• 19:08
  to go to work, we'll pull the man off. Make it look like
• 19:11
  it got lazy. I want somebody to try for Randerson. It's the only
• 19:15
  way we'll get any of the UDO crowd to tell us about the Goldberg murder.
• 19:19
  Okay, how are you going to know when you those boy gets ready
• 19:23
  to go to work. I've got somebody on everybody. You don't knows you
• 19:29

• 19:38
  sloly, I think I'm getting cold, but everybody's got what he's laying
• 19:47
  low. None of his boys have even gone near Henderson, who's with Helly
• 19:51
  for today and Fisher McCarthy clients playing it out in the open. Yeah,

  him. The spot him right away, then when he went outside for a
• 21:03
  smoke. I never figured you had more boys on Henderson, Big stupid me
• 21:07

  what he thought of him, which I guess is a kind of interesting concept
• 26:11
  in some ways compared to modern age, or even to the dragnet shows of
• 26:15
  say, the nineteen sixties, where they went to some effort, you know,
• 26:19
  in the nineteen sixties Dragnet show to make the point that the police were
• 26:25
  concerned and they took seriously citizen complaints. In this program, they kind of
• 26:33
  make a point of not so much, well, at least not if you're
• 26:37
  somebody like you do. But definitely interesting to hear Raymond Burr as kind of
• 26:47
  a criminal hillbilly definitely. And I found an interesting article the past week because
• 26:56
  I've throughout this series, I have just could have sworn that I heard Raymond
• 27:07
  Burr, but every time we would go to the credits, Raymond Burr's name
• 27:11
  wouldn't be in there, and I'd be like, was there some soundalt going
• 27:14
  on? Well, I found out that, and this I think is pretty
• 27:18
  interesting fact that Raymond Burr for a period in the mid fifties went by the
• 27:23
  name ray Hartman. And I found this information in the old time radio logus
• 27:30
  at old dashtime dot com slash otr logs too. So a interesting factoid.
• 27:40
  And if you hear Raymond Burr from this period in history or ray Hartman from
• 27:45
  this period in history, you can know that it really is Raymond Burr.
• 27:49
  All right. Well, coming up this weekend tomorrow I should say, is
• 27:56
  I'll name the Murderer, a nineteen thirty six mystery movie, and we will
• 28:03
  make that available to you. It was an interesting film, not the greatest
• 28:08
  in the world, but I think that it's got some strong points. It's
• 28:17
  one of those limits of doing public domain films. But definitely take a watch
• 28:22
  if you'd like to see the video. Nothing really objectionable in it, so
• 28:26
  I'd say it's probably just a general PG program. All right, Well,
• 28:33
  we will be back with you on Monday on the radio side. Join us
