2:24
Well, y'all listening, enjoyment, John lund As, Johnny Don Tom
2:30
Lesly, Johnny, I'm sending you a check for twenty five thousand dollars by
2:34
special Messengers. Well, thanks, I can use it. You're going to
2:36
buy a painting with it in Detroit, the seventeenth century masterpiece Goal of the
2:38
River, painted by Johan Rugel. Why it was stolen eleven years ago from
2:44
my lane. We paint the claim one. It a cool hundred and twenty
2:46
thousand dollars. We just got a tip we can buy it back for twenty
2:50
five Well, you know how I feel about paying off for the return of
2:53
stolen property. And you know how we feel about taking one hundred and twenty
2:57
thousand dollars long yeah, well, oh okay, but I won't like it.
3:12
Right now, I'd like to take a few minutes of your time to
3:14
pass on a thought which incidentally confirms time. According to the Bible, to
3:21
everything, there is a season at a time to every purpose under the heaven.
3:28
We all agree on that, I'm sure. And we'll also agree that
3:31
the regulation of time also depends on the season. For example, did it
3:38
ever occur to you who decided where our four time zones in America should be
3:43
exactly? Well, that maybe seventy five years ago there were about one hundred
3:47
and fifty different time zones, which were set up according to the whim of
3:52
the local inhabitants. Most of the time was called sun times, and there
3:57
could be fifteen minutes difference between clocks of two towns only ten miles apart.
4:02
So to get rid of the confusion, the Interstate Commerce Commission was established.
4:08
It divided the United States into four standard time zones so that railroads, planes,
4:14
buses, and the mail could run on schedules. Of course, if
4:17
the city wants to go on daylight saving time during the summer. That's the
4:21
decision, which is made locally. The standard time remains the same everywhere else,
4:28
but setting the nation's clock isn't the only job of the Interstate Commerce Commission,
4:31
however. It also makes rules and regulations for the various means of transportation
4:36
which go from one state to another. It sees that railroads, truck line
4:43
barges, and boats operate safely, charge reasonable rates, and give good,
4:47
dependable service. It also protects trucks and bus drivers from working such long hours
4:54
that they might fall asleep while they're driving. The Commission also demands that trains,
5:00
engines, and machines have safety and stop devices. It is in itself
5:05
a safety device to assure every one of us freedom from danger as we travel
5:11
about Our company expense accounts permitted by a special investigators Johnny Dollars to home Office
5:30
Eastern Indemnity and Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting
5:34
of expenditures during my investigation of the Jan Brugo matter. Expensi count ADOM one
5:45
ten ten air fair and incidentals between Hartford and Detroit, Michigan. Expensive count
5:49
adom two one dollar cab fare from the Statler Hotel where I checked in to
5:55
the Masters and Art Galeries on Woodward Avenue, A rather nervous little man came
6:02
scurrying up from behind some below a draperies to greet me. If it's yeah,
6:09
acting we could do here today? Are you mister Masterson? And listen?
6:14
Oh no, no, Newston has no I'm a hacker. I'm no,
6:16
you're gonna hacker. You might say, I'm mister Masterson's generals hack children
6:19
around you general, I'd be more than pleased to do you a service to
6:25
you if I knew that. Well, thanks, I'd like to talk to
6:27
mister Masterson personally. Yes, of course, of course, got way this
6:30
way. What'd you think We're having a wonderful exhibitive modernistic Expressionism and the West
6:38
Gallery this afternoon, because you're a little bit early for that. If that's
6:43
your reason for being here, it's not well, oh that's true, this
6:47
is. But then perhaps you heard of the new headband goal we're just getting
6:50
in is stunning taking Oh it's you stunning? Perhaps you come see up then?
6:57
Well, thanks for your trouble, mister hacker. I think then,
7:00
oh it is that's the Masterson's office is Oh, years, of course,
7:06
but I'm glad you've been in servicing agad. I'm very glad. I'm Johnny
7:15
Darlin at the Masterson for Mason and Demasy. Oh. Yes, the insurance
7:18
Thames coming, mister Dunnan. Thanks. You know there's quite a nobody to
7:24
me, mister Dulan acting as a goal between and the return of stolen property.
7:28
Yeah, I imagine it is. Would you mind telling me how you
7:30
got involved? When it's cool? Thank you? When anazime poem to a
7:35
homofs a man came in here a few days ago, he wanted me to
7:40
place a painting for him. Did he have a painting with him? He
7:42
did. The moment he showed it to me, I recognized it for what
7:45
it was, the river by Yeah, I'm google you know it was stolen
7:47
property, a famous masterpiecement saying, of course, but what happened then?
7:53
It was my intention to detain him on some pretext until I could form the
7:57
police, but it became suspicious left always his next mode. Yesterday morning he
8:03
called me on the telephone and offered me a commission if I would act as
8:05
intermediary. I was getting touched with the insurance company and have one of them
8:09
men here this afternoon at four o'clock. He's going to call back then huh
8:15
two thirty. Now, yes, that gives you an hour and a house
8:18
in which you can make plans for capturing him and recovering the painting. I'm
8:22
a friend is not going to work out that way. There's a little thing
8:26
called a statute of limitations working in his favor. In this particular case,
8:31
it expired some years ago. You mean that even if you can prove this
8:35
man who stole the painting, he can't be prossecut the point. That's right
8:39
incredible. But then I suppose it's worth it. At least a mansterpiece will
8:45
be returned to the world again. I guess that's one way of looking at
8:48
it expens to come out of three one dollar ninety five cents cab fare the
8:58
police headquarters at thirty one hundred Bobians up on the fourth or I introduced myself
9:03
to Lieutenant Griswold or the Robbery Division, who brought out the original file.
9:07
Ever case it wasn't too informative. I can't say that apart and play proud
9:13
of the take of a file. Dollar, why notherson. We worked in
9:16
the case for over a year. There's a result, pages of reports.
9:20
Everyone may get it. We do a complete point. Ah was your personal
9:22
reaction? Do you have any particular hunches or ideas? Yeah? One,
9:26
only it didn't play off or was it? I figured it was an inside
9:31
job, maybe involving Selena Jeffers Selina Jeffers Lauren Jeffers's daughters. Oh, only
9:37
surviving member the family. Now, she was about eighteen at that time,
9:41
setting art or what set you off on her? One of the maids said
9:45
Selene had fallen in love with a picture, had a real fixation on it.
9:48
One of the old man jefferds to hang it in her room, not
9:50
let anybody else see it. I thought it was the greatest thing that'd ever
9:52
been put on canvas. Couldn't tie up with it, though, I see,
9:58
And that's about it. Dollar, no sention you are to game into
10:01
it again. At the stage of the game, I'd say, you better
10:03
make you deal. That's what you want to do. It's not looks like
10:07
I'll have to expect to got out of four two dollars and five cents cab
10:18
fare back to the Masterson Galleries. The phone at Masterson's desk rang prompt theay
10:22
at four o'clock. Hello, you're not master. Oh oh you're the insurance
10:31
boy. That's right. Who are you? Get the questions? Ma,
10:33
I can put it down twenty one thirty five North to Versey at ten thirty
10:39
to morrow morning, Apartment three B at the twenty five random cash with you
10:43
small bills, nothing bigger than a fifty That will make quite a load to
10:46
carry around. You want the payton back? Do as I say? Okay,
10:52
well, I'm bringing someone along to identify that painting for me. Sure,
10:56
bring the whole police department of you want. You can't better wrap on
10:58
me? Do you guys a favorite? Yeah? I know, and you're
11:03
getting well paid for it too. I expected to come out of five three
11:11
dollars and ninety five cents cabs there out to seventeen thirty five Cannon Road in
11:16
Ghost Point, Solana. Jeffers was standing near the edge of a bluff overlooking
11:20
Lake Saint Clair, busily painting the view. My arrival didn't disturb a concentration
11:26
in the least. Do you think we were going to recover the John Bogle
11:31
landscape? Mister dollar Well, it looks like it, mister Jeffers, I
11:35
suppose that has some connection, would you who get it out here? Yes?
11:41
It has. I thought you might be interested in buying it back.
11:45
Why, well, don't belong to your family. I understand you used to
11:48
think a good deal of it. Yes, I did. That was years
11:52
ago. I'm not interested in buying it now. It's pretty modern since days,
11:58
I think. Well, I just thought i'd ask anything else has to
12:03
die. Yeah, maybe you'd like to do me a favor tomorrow. Come
12:09
along with me when I buy a picture bank. Oh, I need someone
12:13
to identify it. And one of the hack does not ers to do that
12:16
for you. They couldn't identify the man who's selling it to me if he's
12:20
somebody out of your family's pass But if I can identify this Christmas, isn't
12:26
it some time limitation or something on prosecutions of this sort. Oh, don't
12:31
worry. You won't send him to jail. And I say, I'll see
12:33
the purpose. Maybe it's just because I'm curious. Well, the Jeffers,
12:39
I'll go with you to come out on six four dollars and ten cents cabs
12:50
her back to the Statler where I remained until the following morning. At ten
12:54
am, I went to the bank where I catch your check. At ten
12:56
fifteen, Selena Jeffers picked me up and then Blue Eldorado. At ten thirty
13:01
we stood in the dingy corridor of a cheap apartment hotel at twenty one thirty
13:05
five North Diversity. The name on the door of apartment three D was Eddie
13:11
Travers. Yeah, I'm Johnny Dollar. Oh in sears, boy, come
13:20
in Dollar, Thank you. Doll's going to check the painting for you.
13:26
That's right, you got the door. Oh I'm not carrying laundry in this
13:31
money bag. Very cute. Let's con let's see the painting. Okay,
13:37
let don't try any funny stuff. I got friends in the next room.
13:39
This way a baby. It's in the closet, all right, here it
13:45
is? How about it? The shepherd. That's the point of who's the
13:50
dollar? You're sure? Positive? Okay? Here's the money, Trevors.
13:56
Don't mind if I con it? Now? Do you? Dollar? No?
13:58
Right? There any reason? Who I suld wait around? Mister dollars?
14:03
What about this fellow traveling I've never don before. You're sure about that?
14:07
That's as sure as I am about to kildon. Sounds like you hope
14:11
that doll might have put a finger on me. Dollar. Well, I
14:13
just like to play all the angles driving. Sorry, everyone didn't looked out
14:16
for you, mister Dollar. Do you ever happen to recover any good modern
14:20
impressionist? Look me up again, I might be interested in duying. No,
14:22
Samiel, I'll keep that in mind. Mis difference and thanks. You
14:28
know something I don't figure you. Insurance guys. What's it to you?
14:31
How I may got him? Mister you, we'll go out of your pocket.
14:35
Guy like you always looks at it that way. Oh it's so bad
14:37
about that? Oh nothing, if you like your view obstructed by bars.
14:50
I expected to come Adam seven three dollars and forty five cents cab fare first
14:54
to Masterson's Galleries, where I left the painting to be held until you decided
14:58
what to do with it. I'm back to the Staffler Hotel. In spite
15:03
of my brave remarks to Eddie Travers, I still had no more idea of
15:07
how to change the course of events than I'd had when I arrived. I
15:11
expect to kind of Adam eight fifteen dollars and seventy five cents, hotel dlle,
15:13
miscellaneous and transportation to the airport. Mister dollars dollars, Yeah, you
15:28
remember me, mister Maryland has mister masters assistant. Oh yeah, yeah,
15:35
I remember when they told me you chest how to go hotel. I oh,
15:39
I was stunned. I was her off it. I wouldn't get him
15:41
time and time for what the tell mister dollars. Is it true that you
15:46
brought that Bogle landscape to the gallery? Yeah? Yeah, that's right.
15:50
Oh man, man, you paid twenty five thousand dollars for it. I
15:54
did. Oh. Oh, I really don't know how to tell me what
16:02
well that picture? The Brugal lens states, I think aportant. You know,
16:22
many great men have attained the highest office in our land, the presidency
16:26
of the United States. Can you guess the name of this man? He
16:29
was only twenty eighth when he was elected to the House of Representatives and the
16:33
youngest member of the Senate, to which he was elected in eighteen thirty seven.
16:37
During his administration, the Kansas Nebraska Bill leaving slavery to popular vote was
16:42
passed. The Gadsden purchase from Mexico added some forty five thousand square miles of
16:48
territory in what is now Arizona and New Mexico, and Japan opened its doors
16:53
for the first time to trade with the United States. If you don't have
16:57
his name by now, here's one more important clue. During his administration,
17:03
the Republican Party as we know it today was born Huasi Franklin Pierce, fourteenth
17:10
President of the United States. His life is part of your American heritage.
17:21
And now, with our star Don Lund, we bring you the second act
17:25
of yours, truly, Dolly Dollar. Merwin Hacker drove me back to the
17:42
Masthuson's Galleries from the airport, babbling all the way everything he told me.
17:48
En route, he said all over again. As we entered the store room
17:51
at the rear of the galleries, let's just look at that. I'm just
17:57
looking at it. But what's superb and us pointing me? I suppose you
18:03
show me how you were tipped off at Hacken Well, as I told you,
18:07
mister Dollar, think it was mere happenstance, mister mass had you left
18:11
and I was preparing the painting for stories. I just supposed it was out
18:15
of sheer nervousness. You know, I've never really worked with the valuable masterpieces
18:19
this before and you know what, my hands flipped and right here, that's
18:25
right down here in the very lowest corner right there. They don't hardly notice
18:26
it. You see what it happened? Where right there looks like you flecked
18:34
off a little bit of paint. That's exactly what happened, mister Dallas.
18:37
I'm there was the proof you see. No, no, I'm afraid I
18:41
don't. You don't look, no, look not let propresent about it.
18:45
You see what doesn't expects the paint was flecked off. Now what do you
18:48
see more paint under? Is? Yea? Oh men? That seems to
18:52
be clear and shiny. No cracks in this back weaver stood off. That
18:57
is comparitively fresh paint. If that canvas had been sentialies old, the paint
19:02
would have been guided and cracked all the way through. Yeah. Who's the
19:07
biggest expert in town on these things, mister Hacker, the biggest expert.
19:11
Oh you mean on arts forgeries? Yeah, yeah, yes, I seen
19:15
our aunt. Oh yes, oh Stephen Dorwood. It's just he's yourn Stephen
19:18
Dirwood. Here's a studio just to feel black down on Woodwood. Oh,
19:22
but it's such a magnificent piece of work and completely worth with. Oh I
19:29
don't know. I just paid twenty five thousand for it. Wow, Hacker
19:37
prepared the cannabis, taught me to take over the dirtwood. I went into
19:41
Masterson's office and put in a cause of Lieutenant Griswold. You sure it's a
19:45
forgery, Donner. I'm thinking it to Stephen Derwood for an opinion, But
19:48
I don't think there's any doubts if it's the same thinging that was stolen from
19:52
lawns Jeffers. We still haven't got anything. No, but what if it's
19:56
not. I'll get out to pick up on any travis exposed to come out
20:03
of nine four dollars and fifty cents cab fare first to the studios of Stephen
20:07
Durwood. Why not got back in an hour and a half? Who saw
20:11
mister Donald. That should give me time for a preliminary examination. But I
20:15
can tell you right now that if this painting is affordedly, it's the most
20:21
magnificently created prague I have ever seen. The next stop with brows point in
20:32
the Jeffers home. Selina was in the library, curled up comfortably in a
20:36
big easy chair, sipping a drink. This visit is a little unexpected,
20:40
isn't it, mister Dollars. I hadn't thought i'd feel you were so soon
20:41
Again, are you disturbed about it? Mis Jeffy? Should I do well?
20:47
Maybe because at Brugol you identify it might be a poetry? Did he
20:51
tell if I drink? Mister Dollars, No, thanks, would it rather
20:53
astounding statement? You just played? Why it's not the first so masterpiece that
21:00
turned out to be a fraud. Little more than that involved like what the
21:07
child's dream of perfection? That's what the Bruego meant me. I worship that
21:12
painting, mister Gollar. To me, it was a symbol of the baby
21:17
that manned and creating an ugly, hateful world. And now you tell me
21:21
that I've been worshiping fraud. Oh maybe not. Maybe this one is another
21:25
painting entirely, But you don't think so was the Bruego. It was stolen
21:30
eleven years ago of forgery in the Stepherd. But I'd already answered death.
21:33
Well, I'm not satisfied with the answer. Didn't think about this? If
21:38
you can pooh, that's a group of forgery or not, it's the same
21:41
painting. It was stolen from this library. Give it back to me.
21:45
You know, we've got a check to your insurance company for one hundred and
21:48
twenty thousand dollars. Do you think that will satisfy against God? Well,
21:52
it will satisfy Eastern indemnity. I tried to got out of ten three dollars
22:03
ninety five cents. Cabs are back to Stephen Durwood Studios. He finished his
22:08
examination of the painting and had his report ready for me. Frankly, mister
22:14
Dollar, I am almost at a loss as to what to tell you.
22:18
I examined the Google menu play, and I would be willing to swear that
22:22
the canvas, the pigments, the breasts us are all genuine seventeenth centuries and
22:29
the painting appears to have been aging for not less than three centuries. But
22:33
you don't think it has been I might have if it weren't for the little
22:37
flex of paint that was scraped off one of the flowers down in the corner.
22:42
And there's something pretty strange about that, mister Dollar. What well,
22:48
I have taken samples of paint from other spots on the canvas. The apparent
22:53
age of oil goes all the way through only in that one spot on that
22:59
flower, because there's pressure more modern looking paint show through. What ry explanation
23:06
for that, mister Durbin, Well you see someone for just get that aging
23:10
effect by bacon. They completed canvas in an electric oven. Now in this
23:15
case it is possible be for just slipped up by failing to remove the plan
23:21
for the pincers he used to place the canvas in the oven. Oh will
23:26
you excuse me? Course, yes Stephen Durbin speaking, But yes he is.
23:37
That's one moment. Please, it's for yous dollar. Oh thanks,
23:44
Hello Christwell dollars had you might be there, you cannot head quarters? Now
23:48
what's up with collar? We just got any travers expanse to con A.
23:57
I'm eleven one dollar twenty five cents cab fair the police headquarters. Any travers
24:02
wasn't very anxious to give us any answers. Well, look, I'm given
24:06
it to you straight fellas. I don't know anything about this job. You
24:08
turned the painting over to me for twenty five thousand drivers. Sure, sure
24:12
I did, but I didn't have anything to do with I sing it.
24:15
Even if I did the time has run out on that rap. Hey,
24:18
he's right, I'm both count stellar show. He was serving time in Jackson
24:21
when the original robbery took place. But what are you picking me up for?
24:23
You've got nothing to who he is? How about operating a confidence game
24:27
or conspiracy to the fraud? What are you giving me? You you wanted
24:33
a painting and I saw it to here. There's no punk or wrap on
24:34
that, huh? There is when you pass out of forgery for the real
24:37
thing, bogery the paintings of phony Travers. That'll stop fraud and confidence game
24:44
to any jury, and with a previous record, you should get ten to
24:48
twenty without any trouble at all. Hold it, you've given it to me
24:52
straight. That's right your hook. But good Travers? Was that little down
24:56
rummy should have known it? What's something wrong? He laid it out for
25:00
me. Too easy. The times run out, he says, and they
25:03
can't catch on a thing, he says. All they gotta do is turn
25:06
over the paintment and collect a ten percent split. He says, Look what
25:10
happens? What's his name? Veryal big shot dropping a load week after week
25:14
in a floating crap game, and he gets me look for twenty five sea
25:17
what's his name? Hacker? Merwin Hacker. While Traver has dictated an official
25:25
statement, we put in a call to the Masterson gallery. Masterson had returned
25:30
by then and told us that Hacker had left for his home near Farmingdale about
25:33
an hour before. It turned out to be a five acre farm well off
25:44
the main road. We checked the house and came up with nothing. We
25:48
had better luck at the barn. It's pretty nice. Shut up, tell
25:56
her, yeah, all right, electric govern funny of old campuses. Looks
26:03
like he was shut up to turn out art fortunies in a production line basis.
26:07
Yeah, I guess it was just funny of physical evidence here with the
26:12
exception of Marijuan Hacker himself. That's no problem, right, he's over here
26:21
behind his practitioner. Well, he won't do what he's talking. He doesn't
26:29
have to. A gun in his hand did it for him. After the
26:37
homicide men took over, Griswold drove me back downtown. I picked up the
26:41
painting at Stephen Durwood and look at the Masterson's gallery for the last time.
26:45
We Hacker an art wounds and you must be joking with your daughter I'm afraid
26:52
man, mister Masterson, the man who's been working for me for over fifteen
26:55
years. How would you possibly have been conducting s an underhanded business without my
26:59
knowing it? Frankly, I don't think he was, But because should he'd
27:03
been forging these masterpieces? Forging them? Yes, without your knowledge? No,
27:11
I'm confused, mister Donnan. No, it's one thing to create these
27:14
forgeas, it's another to dispose of him. That takes a good legitimate front,
27:19
like the masters and art galleries for instance, Correct, mister Dona.
27:25
Now your other world will seems to be confused. Well, I was confused
27:27
for a while trying to figure out why Hacker disclosed the forgery to me himself.
27:32
But you'll not know. No. I think Hacker suddenly found out you
27:37
were paying him only nominal summons for the forger reason selling him gonna tremendous profit
27:41
to yourself. And when he learned about this latest double cross, he decided
27:45
who could play at that game? Very interesting theory, mister Dolan, You
27:48
too bad you can't prove him. Would you mind telling me why you stole
27:53
the paintings from Lauren Jeffers? Not the true It was the floor in it.
28:00
Rugu was the first word that Hacker attempted, I Sholder to Jeffers.
28:03
After he'd been hanging for a while, the paint began to peck off in
28:06
that one corner that was a paid Jeffers would get suspicious and called him some
28:10
mixed woods. So you'll beat him to the punch by stealing the painting back.
28:12
Exactly too bad. You had all that brilliant detective work for nothing.
28:18
Who was to do him? But as you wouldn't submitted yourself. There's always
28:22
the statute of limitations. Yeah, and there's always Merwin a hacker more the
28:30
brother mister Donner. He's dead and there's no statue of limitations on murdered like
28:42
fins to gout at him. Twelve one dollar and sixty cents cab fare down
28:47
the police headquarters with Matterson and tow paraffin test showed that he's recently fired a
28:52
gun while Merwin Hacker's hand was cleaned. Dye Travers identified Matterson as the man
28:57
who's been passing himself off as Merwyn Hacker. Lieutenant Grigwoll says he can make
29:03
the murder rep stick expensive content of thirteen forty nine dollars and twenty five cents
29:17
air Fair and incidentals back to Hutford expensive count total one hundred and thirty five
29:22
dollars and eighty five cents. Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Yours Truly Johnny

30:06
Not to be too nitpicky, but I have to admit that I found the
30:11
whole thing. With him taking the woman who had once owned the picture to
30:22
identify it without bringing an expert to authenticate it. That's a that's kind of
30:32
stretch the lines of credibility when you're handing someone twenty five thousand dollars in cold
30:38
hard cash, and the expert would have been better able to tell if it
30:45
was a forgery. Of course, this appears to be a clever, well
30:48
done forgery, because even the expert he took it to really had to look
30:53
and study it find it so not certain how much good it would have been
30:57
done, but it's kind of hard to believe him handing over twenty five thousand
31:03
dollars in cash without bringing along a certified art expert. Of course, we
31:08
also got to hear William Johnstone, in his varied history as a character actor,
31:18
playing the villain. Well, tomorrow we get to hear William Johnstone playing
31:22
the hero when we play the lineup for you. Well, that will actually
31:26
do it for today. We will be back, as I said, tomorrow
31:30
with the lineup and join us next Friday for yours truly, Johnny Dowler.
