2:45
L H. E. K. Pound check. Ye, I have the
2:46
name as sweetest man. They have him in jade. That's all I know.
2:53
Yeah, well I'm having miss Brooks checking on the other form. So
2:55
just calmed down. The nicest porter I have and he wouldn't do anything right.
3:00
His life depended on it. He's gender and he never takes a chick.
3:02
Yeah. Yeah, Hold on a minute, will you, missus Fenton?
3:06
What did you find out? Brookson? Do you have a Simon powercheck
3:07
and jail are right? Uh? Huh? What's the charge with him killing
3:10
a young woman? He ran it down with his car. He was very
3:13
drunk, why, missus Fenton? Yes, yes, what is it,
3:17
mister d I'll get down there and look into it. I'll get back to
3:22
you later. Yeah, Simon powcheck Age forty eight. He is still in
3:34
the cell, sleeping. The door open and shut. Case I sagin As
3:37
far as I can tell, it smelled like a brewery when he was brought
3:39
in. The car is pretty badly smashed. The poor girl was hitting.
3:43
Where did the accident take place? In pretty deserted section of the time this
3:46
books, You know the toy factor where his powcheck works. Farnton Toys boys
3:51
picked him up just sitting there sling booth. The whoop. I see there's
3:53
anything wrong, mister Belton. Wow, just a slight discrepancy on a man's
3:58
character. Probably just shows the gentle sweet ladies like missus Fentler bad judges of
4:02
character, don't get it. But I'm other man. Maybe this is worth
4:06
drinking Johnson away from supper. Yeah, it might be worthwhile. Well,
4:20
I don't know anything looking at Johnson and my head Hurst Valentine, I don't
4:27
know how you manage to get in the middle of things like that. The
4:30
lunch, his report is clear and to the point, this man hasn't been
4:32
drinking. He was slunk, I don't remember slug and then liquor was poured
4:36
over so that he would be thrown in jail, and no questions asked,
4:40
Questions would be asked, and do time as Brooks enough so that we'd find
4:44
out everything we have to know. There's no reason why we shouldn't take a
4:46
look at Palcheck's car, is it? Come on? No question? Now?
5:00
Isn't no dense in front of that car we put there by? Someone
5:03
probably smashed in with a heavy monkey rancher. They weren't a result of hitting
5:06
that poor girl at all. No, she was probably killed by someone first,
5:11
then thrown on the pearl Chick's car. Pretty clumsy frame up by somebody
5:15
who was desperate and needed time for a getaway. Yeah, well, I
5:17
guess one job was over, such as it was. What's in well,
5:20
mister Pearls shaking? Go back to missus funtons. She'll make him some nice
5:25
chicken soup, and you're staying here? You don't come in and get things
5:28
started and then waltz out. Girl's handbag was nowhere around, no means of
5:31
identification. What do you need me? There were some laundrymarks on our clothes.
5:35
We're checking those. You're sticking around, Laura Gillespino. I never heard
5:53
of her, lieutenant, and you don't remember seeing her before? No,
5:56
No, I came off of the plant. That's Thornton's toy, and I
6:00
was going to start driving my car, and I guess somebody hit me.
6:03
That must have been hiding them back of the car. And that's all I
6:06
remember. He'll probably just happen to be the handiest guy around, mister Pelcheck.
6:11
Pretty lucky to get out of a thing might have killed you. They
6:15
could, couldn't they. Missus Fenton is still pacing outside like a nervous mother
6:18
hand Lieutenant. Yes, I guess you can go a pelcheck. We'll be
6:24
wind to ask some more questions another time. Anything I can do anything.
6:28
Let the gentleman outsige Jesse. Well, might as well see what we can
6:31
find out at the address you have for Laura ga Westbie. Laura dead dead.
6:48
I can't get it through my head. Why why? I'm afraid that's
6:53
something we don't know yet, mister glaslie were trying to find out. You
7:00
can give us some ideas to why your wife was down on Manson Street.
7:02
Mister Gillespie, I don't know. I don't know. It's a little out
7:05
of the way. With missus Gillespie out shopping this afternoon visiting some friends.
7:13
She was out, working, working, because I was never a good enough
7:16
man to provide her with the things she deserves. Writer would ever get the
7:21
idea that I could ever write anything in my life? All I could do
7:26
was to write this trash drink water than I should. So I don't know
7:30
what I can do to help you. Lit me what different doesn't make anyway?
7:35
It won't bring Laura back. Can you understand how you feeling? Mister
7:39
Glassie would believe me these questions are necessary? Where did missus Gillespie work?
7:45
Sorry, Lesoftski Import and Export company that down on Fifth Street. Laura's was
7:51
very smart, got to be a lieutenant in the waves during the war.
7:56
She was mister Lesoftski's good right arm. Anything about the job that might have
8:00
led to into what happens? No, no, mister Valentine. As far
8:03
as I know, it was a pretty humdrum, orderly job. But maybe
8:07
just a little wolf from mister Lesovski. Go on. You see Laura's hand
8:11
bank was god. Then this must have been a robbery. Yeah, that's
8:16
the most logical explanation, isn't it isn't this is? I suppose so about
8:24
this afternoon? I suppose you were here, Oh, that's right, an
8:28
alibi. I should account for my whereabouts. That's another one of the things
8:31
you must ask me. Oh, I have a beauty of an alibi.
8:35
I was in my usual hangout Mike's barn grill all afternoon. Well, I
8:41
should have been trying to work. At least a dozen people saw me.
8:46
Please please leave me. If you work with a girl for over two years,
9:03
mister Lesovski, you should get to know her pretty well. Oh I
9:05
did. I did. She was a lovely lady, smart, brilliant,
9:11
terrible crudge did missus Gillespie had the afternoon off or it wasn't anything. This
9:16
formal has that and this office she came and went without having to account to
9:20
anyone because no matter of fact, mister or Subsky, we were curious as
9:24
to whether you might know of any enemies Missus Gillespie might have had eni.
9:26
Mister no, I was kind of a reluctant. No. Is it supposed
9:33
to mean anything? No? No, I'm sure you'll understand that if you
9:37
have anything that might possibly help us. The husband, mister Callespie is a
9:43
very jealous man and a very weak one. Of course, I don't mean
9:46
to imply, and I see I say thank you very much. I presume
9:50
you were here all afternoon, mister Lesovski Oh yes, yes, been three
9:54
customers, very fine people Aliborina. But two. This export and import business,
9:58
mister Losovskiy, is of a general nature. Oh yes, mostly to
10:03
Europe, the mostly Eastern Europe. Of course, the business isn't as good
10:07
as it was once. Since we import some fine lace, Bohemian glass,
10:11
we send them some machinely even toys toys, Yes, you know the Turton
10:18
toy firm down on Manson. They are very fine clients of us. What's
10:24
the matter? Did I say something? Porton toys for good girls and boys.
10:41
That's been the slogan of our firms since my grandfather started in eighteen eighty
10:43
four. Yeah, it's very interesting, mister Thornton. But we were very
10:46
interested in whether missus Gallaspie came down to Sigure this afternoon here at your planning.
10:50
Well, no, that was a matter of fact. You didn't.
10:54
Oh what's the why are y'all looking at? Knew that way? Wells she
10:56
did come down here, you'd see you, wouldn't she? Miss Here's of
11:00
course she placed the order with me, and she didn't see you today.
11:03
I'm not in the habit of lying this book. I sho say. We
11:05
probably established a good reason for missus Gillespie to be down here. We thought
11:09
you might give us some further help in tracking down the man who killed her.
11:13
I see the Leasowski firm buys only a moderate amount of toys. Oh
11:18
hereunds like this, some dolls that seen their own lulibis, some handmade toy
11:24
soldiers. Mister Palcheck has been making toy soldiers for us what almost point a
11:28
year? Oh yeah, some some cowboy dogs. So your relationship with missus
11:31
Gillespie was rather casual and purely business exactly. Oh but wait, wait,
11:39
I couldn't have seen missus Gillespie it all this afternoon, even if she did.
11:43
What do you mean, slip my mind? I was uptown in our
11:46
designers office most of the afternoon going through the new line of stuffed animals.
11:52
It's Perkins, that's the designer. Come back me up, no doubt.
11:54
A perfect score in Alibi would really never mind day, Oh Valentine, let's
12:18
be phone down here while we were all good. Phone him back so I
12:22
can pick up Brooks he and take her off at dinner. He wants to
12:24
get in touch with you right away. Me. Must have liked your plant,
12:28
baby blue eyes. Exactly what did he say? Want you to call
12:31
him at this number? Go and use this phone. I wonder what's on
12:37
his mother? It's me. This is Valentine Glee. Yeah, yeah,
12:46
what did you want me to call you about it? Come on over right
12:48
away. There's something I have to tell you. I was afraid of shame,
12:50
but I'm not anymore. I'm not. I'm sure it. Can't you
12:54
lear some things that even are no good faithing like me can't take things like
12:58
this on. I was in the Pacific three years. Did you know that?
13:01
Did you? I'll be over as soon as I can. Come on
13:03
it skips off, doors open, wide open, Honey, he isn't here.
13:22
Maybe his curry's left him again. What was the name of that barn?
13:26
Lan? But that sound in the bedroom sounds like the window shadeer of
13:33
blind banging against the world. Onne, Holy Macrol. Poor guy couldn't wait.
13:48
Hello, Hennessey, this is Johnson. Send a crew down to four
13:52
eighteen Harrow Street. Glaspie just hung himself. We'll return to tonight's adventure of
14:09
George on Tine in just a moment. I'm sure that you're all aware of
14:13
the fact that nothing is as tough on a motor as stop and go driving,
14:18
and yet taxicabs must operate under these difficult conditions at all times. So
14:22
when the manager of a taxi fleet writes that heavy duty RPM motor oil has
14:26
doubled the time between overhauls, that's real evidence that heavy duty RPM can do
14:31
the same for your car. It took months and months testing hundreds of oils
14:37
before we were able to develop this new motor oil laboratory tests, road tests,
14:43
even atomic energy was used. Atomically treated piston rings in test cars enabled
14:48
us to measure engineware as it took place. The result of all this testing
14:52
was heavy duty RPM motor oil that, compared to premium type oils as designated
14:58
by the American Petroleum Institute, doubles engine life between major overhaul's due to lubrication.
15:03
Now, motorists throughout the West have found the advantages of using heavy duty
15:07
RPM. Case history after case history proves that here is the motor oil that's
15:13
years ahead of its time. A car fleet, a cab company, people
15:18
like you and me report that heavy duty RPM gives top protection to engines under
15:22
all driving conditions. So buy what's best for your car yet heavy duty RPM
15:28
motor oil at independent Chevron gas stations and standard stations where they say and mean
15:35
we take better care of your car. You help clear a meek little toymaker,
15:56
Simon Palchek from a framed hit and run murder of young woman. The
16:00
three men who could be suspects for her death are near Towell husband, her
16:04
employer, and the head of Thornton Toys, near whose plant the murder took
16:08
place. All have perfect alibies, So you seem to be at a dead
16:12
end when suddenly the husband calls you up and tells you that there's something he
16:15
must get off his chest. But even if your name is George Valentine,
16:19
you'll never find out what that is, because by the time you get there,
16:23
the husband is dead, a suicide note still in the timper enter just
16:29
as he left it. Yeah to whom and may concerned. I thought I
16:36
could stand up to it, but I know now that I can't. Laura
16:38
was no good, or I should say, she was no better than I
16:41
deserved. She was faithless, and I could not accept that I killed her,
16:47
and I framed the funny little man who works in the toy plant.
16:49
Sorry, but this is the only fitting way to end a life which has
16:52
been nothing but a comedy of errors. Boys will be here pretty soon.
16:56
Go through the four memonies. Yeah, yeah, I guess it was just
17:03
what's the matter. I can't quite make the two things fit. The words
17:07
going us be used when he called me, and it seems so important for
17:11
him to tell me he was a soldier, or a good soldier who served
17:14
in the Pacific. Man likes to hold onto whatever he thinks has been worthwhile
17:18
in his day. Well, the words he used in the fear of facing
17:19
us. I'm seeing too many suicides to try and figure out why they would
17:23
Dewinning Johnson, what are you doing? Look the fibers on the rope.
17:29
What are you talking about? They're pointing up towards the ceiling. Hey,
17:33
it's right. Yeah, he was killed and then his body was hauled up.
17:36
That's the only explanation murder, another as vicious as the first, which
17:40
leads us exactly nowhere. Especially since we know that all the three alibis are
17:44
poo. We don't have to go back and talk to Lesovsky and Thornton.
17:47
There are only possibilities. I guess, so, but why killed Gillespie?
17:49
What did he know? You'll try and guess? Oh, come on,
17:53
okay, but may I make a suggestion here. Let's keep up the myth
17:57
that this was suicide. It's always easier to make a slip if you feel
18:02
you're safe. Poor man, poor poor man. Yeah, I guess that
18:15
washes up the case line, Greg, I wonder who the man was that
18:22
Missus Gillespie was saying. Well, I wouldn't know, Honestly, I wouldn't.
18:26
Okay, mister SASKI you realize how'd you find anything? Brooks? But
18:30
there is nothing in missus Gillespie's desk that can help anyone in that respect,
18:34
I'm sure, mister Valenteck, we were just looking around. I hope you
18:37
don't mind mine, No, no, no, by shouldn't all the usual
18:41
things, George, pencils and tissues? Do you let us to be files?
18:45
So I see Brooks Sky just as a matter of curiosity, I'd like
18:48
to check up on your whereabouts since I spoke to your answer that there's something
18:52
I am becoming used to. But I'm perfectly willing to cooperate, of course.
18:56
What is it? Angel, that's cool to those files for there's playing
19:00
cover. Let me see, that's funny. What is I can use?
19:06
Oh? Laugh? This book is written in some foreign language. It belongs
19:11
to you, mister Lisowski. Me, no, that is strange. Pictures
19:18
of soldiers, battles. What does it say? It isn't Polish, Shulish.
19:22
Laura wasn't American? Why isn't she? Yes, yes, that is
19:26
where they cannot understand. Published in Europe. Pretty good pictures, diagrams to
19:32
show just how troops should be set up in different military maneuvers. What connection
19:36
is there between the two murders and the books she couldn't even read. That's
19:37
a big question, Johnson. I'll see you later. Yeah, where you're
19:41
going war maneuvers. That's why mister Valentine or I'll put on the life pol
19:59
Check books over that part of the planet. Of course, during the day
20:02
there there'll be fifty or sixty people working here, huh. And on the
20:04
fall and we get ready for the Christmas rush, we have more than one
20:07
hundred. But Paul check is the one who's responsible for the making of toy
20:11
soldiers. That's right, that's right. Oh, he's a craftsman, has
20:15
the most beautiful toy soldiers gassed them, paints their bright uniforms excellent. There
20:21
sure enough of them, yeah, yes, all ranks all times, foreign
20:26
soldiers, grenadiers, Ebuloman, the soldiers that are exported. How are they
20:30
usually packed, mister Carnton. Oh, say a gross to the box and
20:34
then on a stone. So here here's a box already, thank yeah,
20:40
oh yeah yeah, all pretty well mixed up soldiers pointing up in it.
20:45
There's one raising his arm to call charge. Are the one reaching for sword?
20:51
Just a big man jumble? But oh well, of course they're not
20:56
works of arts, you know, just toy soldiers, no offense, mister
20:59
Sarting, Oh one, little toys, little lead soldiers. I remember I
21:03
used to play with them. Children don't play with them as much as they
21:07
used to. Wonder why there's one raising a trumpet to his lips. Of
21:15
course most of them are playing ordinary foot soldiers all alike. I was very
21:18
glad when these orders came a couple of years ago, pretty steady orders.
21:22
Oh that's fine. Well, I guess you'll be wanting to close up and
21:26
go home now, mister Thornton, Yes, yes indeed, But anything else
21:30
I can do to cooperate. No, no, no, thanks, that's
21:33
somebody else I have to see now. Oh yes, I feel much better,
21:45
mister Valentine. And thank you, thank your soul for everything I did,
21:49
very little, mister project. That young woman, that unfortunate young woman.
21:55
Police found out your two chiltern. They're working on it. They usually
21:57
do a good job. Shame, terrible shame, mister Polcheck. When did
22:03
you notice that the book was stolen? But the book, the one in
22:07
Polish, the one about soldiers and Battlement Ofver's true formations. When I sold
22:12
that, yes, of course, how did you know? I didn't sure.
22:18
I had it for a long time. You can't buy it in this
22:21
country, you know. And I kept it out of the plant or I
22:23
copied many uniforms from it for Farlen's soldier. When was it stolen, mister
22:27
Polcheck, Well, a few months ago I found out it was gone.
22:30
Why do you say stolen? I thought just someone threw it out cleaning woman.
22:36
Maybe. No, No, I think it was stolen, and for
22:40
a very good reason. But stolen by whom? Why? I have an
22:44
idea? I'm not sure, mister Parncheck. Do you feel strong enough to
22:48
come down to the plant with me. But no, it's closed. You
22:52
have a key, haven't you. I understand you've often worked late and you're
22:53
one of the oldest employee. Yes, I believe me. It's important.
22:56
It's sort of setting a trap for someone. What are you saying, Well,
23:00
of course, mister Valentine, I will just get dressed and these mamma
23:18
dolls. Sure cude. How much longer are we going to wait, mister
23:21
Velentine Phy, not much. Who are we waiting for? Then? I
23:26
don't really know? But no, you know how I make the little bit
23:33
soldiers? Yeah, yeah, molton d hubble, bubble toilent No, no,
23:37
no, no, I wouldn't come too near, mister Velona and little
23:41
forms to cast the soldiers from. Yes, that's right. I thought this
23:45
box of soldiers was already for export. You what, what on any reason
23:51
why you melted down some of the soldiers from it? Oh, you must
23:52
be mistaken. All of them players and he seems. But the the ones
24:00
with the drawing the ban and the trumpet and the arms raised the sick signal
24:03
charge the day, Oh yeah, they were not quite like perfect. However,
24:07
And while I was helping from some lead only way I can make the
24:11
matter. You know, I was wondering all along, how come that lead
24:14
soldiers are shipped to you? You're from here, you know, usually they
24:18
sho should be imported here from what the country is, to say Japan or
24:22
Checkos, Slovakia. The way they were is cheaper. I would not know
24:26
about this, this development, and mister Thornton makes me the deals with mister
24:30
lusostitude, I just make the soldiers. Yeah, I know, I think
24:37
we awake or nothing. Ter scheme is, that's an They all had perfect
24:42
alibi guys for the time that missus Gillespie was kid. How about you,
24:48
mister polcheck me but was in the car. No one would suspect the framing
24:57
man La. You're a very smart man, mister pot Check. You kill
25:03
Laura Gallespie and then frame you yourself on a hit and run sage you said
25:06
you knew very well was to stand. You're really smart, fust to completely
25:11
equipment with a gun. Rich, I can you know I suspect I to
25:15
kids you policheck like ever since I found that book. But I know you
25:18
were somewhat lat enough so that you'd have to tip your hand yourself. That's
25:21
why I got you down here. That's why I watched your meltdown, those
25:23
particular souljects. I will take you out in my car. I'll kill you,
25:27
mister Lellonton, and then I shall disappear. I have friends, many
25:33
friends. They will see I get out of this cut, I know,
25:36
and you get lost somewhere behind the iron curtain. Don't move. Of course
25:42
I killed the Gillespie's, first the woman, and then him. He began
25:45
to think of of all missus Gillespie when he was blackmailing you, wasn't she
25:51
She was smart too. She realized that the little lead soldiers were semaphoring the
25:56
position of the arm standing for letters of the alphabet, signaling, just like
25:59
say, different ship to ship. Should not have meddled at one. Then
26:02
she found the book and saw how the gimmick really was. The people you
26:04
send the jumble box of soldiers just to have the book. Also, they
26:07
know the diagram you mean sort the soldiers out, so they correspond to the
26:11
diagram and then read the message clears about stop moving the match, you sharp
26:18
moving buster, lad shower. Look cow you a little warman over. I
26:32
learned in the army playing with real soldiers. What's it like behind the wheel
26:45
of your car. Do you feel the surge of power under your foot?
26:48
You stay along smoothly and effortlessly, or has a one feature gasoline got your
26:53
car coughing and sputtering and hugging the side of the road. Remember the field
26:57
behind the wheel depends a lot on what's in the tank. So if your
27:02
driving pleasure isn't all it should be, shift over now to Chevern Supreme,
27:06
the gasoline that gives you all eight high performance qualities full power, quick starting,
27:11
anti knock, vaporlock prevention, fast warm up, smooth acceleration, area
27:18
blending, and economy mileage. Put spring in your driving with a full tank
27:22
of Chevern Supreme gasoline at standard stations or independent Chevron gas stations where they say
27:29
and mean we take better care of your car. How many messages would the
27:44
FBI been able to decipher George? None without polchecks cooperation. He cooperated all
27:49
right, once he started to singing sound a full grown choir. Deadliest sabotage
27:53
of bone. That's what Polcheck's friends were planning. Deadliest sabotage. You were
27:59
sending out the name the people in different fields whose death would hurt the United
28:02
States most, And I guess there'd be other pal Chicks to see that the
28:04
sabotage was carried out, no matter what would happen to them. A war
28:07
maneuver, yeah, and a war where no holes are bard. Mister Thornton
28:12
and mister the sous gear outside, who's still shaking over the way they've been
28:15
used as dupes by pal Chick. I'm gonna go around and talk to him.
28:22
They wasn't her mama don present from mister Thornton. You know Thornton toy
28:30
for good girls and boys. He think you have an idea we might find
28:34
some sports someday. Okay, okay, You see, darling, you're a
28:44
war maneuver and war manouvers all stare in love and war. The Knight's Transcribed
29:10
Adventure of George Valentine has been brought to you by Standard Oil Company of California,

on behalf of independent Chevron Gas Stations and Standard Stations throughout the West.
29:19
Robert Daily has starred as George, with Virginia Gregg as Brooks. Let George
29:25
do. It was written by David Victor and Jackson Hillis and directed by Kenneth
29:27
Webb. Ken Christy was heard as Lieutenant Johnson. Larry Dobkin as Palcheck,
29:33

Listen again next week, same time, same station. To last year,
29:55
more than seventy thousand Americans were cured of cancer each year. This number
30:00
will increase, but we must take much greater strides against this terrible disease.
30:06
It still strikes one in five. Strike back. Joining the cancer crusade of
30:10

30:29

30:52
Welcome back, Well. I had a sense of who the killer was kind
30:56
of around the midpoint of the show because because they revealed that all of the
31:02
main suspects seemed to have alibis. Now that kind of indicated that there was
31:08
a problem with one of the alibis. But on, let George do it.
31:12
Usually in decades that the person we thought was innocent really isn't. I'm
31:18
not certain the case was all that predictable in the generic sense. However,
31:25
after listening to one hundred and sixty two episodes on this podcast, plus close
31:30
to a couple dozen that I won't be able to play here, I kind
31:33
of have a sense for how the writer's minds work. I did like the
31:37
twist about the messages. I caught that when they found the book. I
31:41
imagine there was some arrangement of the toy soldiers. This does seem to be
31:47
one of the few detective shows which didn't originally deal with by material, but
31:55
as definitely got into Cold War style, and I think it's interesting some people
32:02
have a reaction to the Cold War. Anything with the Cold War in it
32:07
is dated, not necessarily anything more than any story where, say Sherlock Holmes
32:16
dealing with opion dens is dated. You were certainly quite a villain on the
32:22
American scene, and it's always interesting to hear these sort of stories. While
32:28
we turned down a listener comments, Bet says, your podcast are what get
32:32
me through my work days. Love them, especially the Sherlock Holmes episodes,
32:38
since I'm a huge fan of all things Sherlock. Well, thanks so much,
32:43
Beth, and we will we will actually be back with another episode of
32:55
Sherlock Holmes tomorrow, and then join us a week from today for another episode
33:00
let George do It. In the meanwhile, send your comments to Box thirteen
