and two from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny, Johnny was a break?
1:49
It might be away for the weekend. What was that iron kad in
1:52
a coastal maritime in life? Oh? Hello, byan, How I think's
1:55
in Boston? God Harbor? Terrible? What Meg McCarthy who runs an eating
2:00
place there at the harbor? Murder? Mayam Marson? Or what? Right?
2:04
Now? It's? Or what? But if you don't do something and
2:06
fast it maybe all three? Can you come over and see me now?
2:09
Bye? I know it's Saturday afternoon, Johnny, but this needs fast action.
2:13
Will you bye? Goodbye? No bye? Listen you Dollar, You're
2:19
a sucker tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of the
2:30
Man with the Action Packed Expense Accoud America's Fabulous freelance insurance investigator, Yours True
2:37
Johnny Dollar expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, location cod Harbor,
2:54
Massachusetts, the inter Coastal Maritime and Life Insurance Company. Following is an accounting
3:00
of expenses incurred during my investigation of the Meg's Palace Matter expense account Item one
3:08
seven dollars and thirty cents cab from my apartment trained Farness and Etels to Boston.
3:14
Barron Kay was a good insurance broker, and I figured he wouldn't have
3:15
called me over a weekend unless it was pretty important. To get right to
3:19
the point, Johnny, insurance on the palace is only for fifteen thousand dollars.
3:22
Wait a minute, buy what is this palace a fishing boat? No,
3:25
it's what Meg McCarthy calls her restaurant, right down on the dock Cod
3:29
Harvey. You say, that's right. Well, what seems to be the
3:31
trouble over there that couldn't wait till after the weekend. Well, like I
3:35
told you, this character Meg McCarthy runs a so called restaurant down on the
3:38
docks, the palace. I sold her fifteen thousand insurance on it, and
3:42
Johnny, it's quite a place. What do you mean by that? We
3:46
also carry twenty five thousand straight life insurance on Meg yourself separate policy, of
3:50
course, which one are you worried about by both? I think, huh.
3:53
Matter of fact, the more I think about it, the gladder I
3:55
am that you didn't fall from my pitch when I tried to get her to
3:59
increase the coverage and the she had next would really be out. Well,
4:01
it's a matter. Isn't it worth fifteen thousand? Now? Oh? Sure?
4:04
At least even if it doesn't look it. You know, the stove's
4:09
equipment and all that sort of stuff are in the coverage too. Then I'm
4:12
afraid I don't see what thing is this, Johnny, Meg has been threatened
4:15
by home Ah who knows anyhow. She's notified me that there have been a
4:19
couple of attempts to set fire to replace. Since she lives upstairs in it,
4:23
that means danger to her own life too. And the whole forty thousand
4:27
is at stay. Yes, will you go up there right away and see
4:30
what you can do today, tomorrow, Sunday. Look, maybe you can
4:32
get in some fishing. I understand you're quite efficient. Were the last three
4:36
times I was promised fishing while working on a case? All I did was
4:40
cut bait proposition. If you don't get in at least a full day's fishing
4:44
trip while you're up there, I'll double whatever you line up on your expense
4:46
account. Sounds mighty tempting me, how about it, Johnny? Okay,
4:51
by you asked for it. Item two eleven ninety five. Transportation back to
4:58
Hartford, then on to Cod High for the next morning. Fine way to
5:00
spend a nice warm sunday. Nice place too if you lost your sense of
5:04
smell. There which was three dozen fishing boats of all shapes and sizes,
5:09
tied up with the long dock and piers that comprise the important part of the
5:11
village for housing. There was a scattering of weather beaten shacks. One store,
5:16
Meg's Palace turned out to be the biggest, most disreputable looking of the
5:20
dock side eating places, and since it was a closed sign on the front
5:24
door, I went around to the back. Can I tell you the clean
5:30
and level joined your water's face? I see, can tired of looking at
5:34
that? No, look here, mag I I just come back to for
5:40
the next time. That means he's currently crew of the Lily and comes in
5:43
here and gets drunk and roars and carries on and busts up me. Fine
5:46
glass were in China. Just say nothing of a couple of woods, and
5:49
listen to me, darling you, darling me, your pig face squint put
5:55
on the frying pile, sir, not until you get your filthy hide out
5:59
of here. None in a respectable joint, and the lights of you and
6:01
the tail the crew of yours. I've got no place in it. What's
6:04
more, and furthermore, I won't have you around to pay for the damagement
6:10
boys did last night. Now, hey, that's pay for the loss of
6:14
me dignity to say nothing of your Get out of here? Will I get
6:18
out? Okay? Here's your here's your money. Man who wants your offensible
6:25
money? Put down the frying I put it down? Will you boy?
6:29
If you don't get out here, I excuse me, Ms McCarthy. Ain't
6:47
he darling? Ain't he the sweetest man you ever did see? The man
6:55
you just threw out of here? And that only comes into apologize. What
6:58
brings the money to pay for them? It is Frank and boys done last
7:01
night when they were celebrating the big catch they made. Lovely bunch of lads.
7:05
They are, to every one of them as loyal to Willieboy. Now,
7:11
who the devil are you? And what's the big idea of barging in
7:15
here on a Sunday when anybody with eyes and his stupid head can see that
7:17
the place is closed? Your eyes are blind in your head you couldn't see
7:23
the sign out front, and sneaking in here the backway this way? Who
7:26
do you think you are? Now, get out and leave a lady alone
7:30
of a Sunday. Go on, don't get tough with me, Meg McCarthy.
7:32
Just put down that part and shut up for a minute while I tell
7:35
you why I'm here. Put it down. She's me, dear departed over
7:43
barn husband. Yes, sir, after all, I should have noticed you're
7:48
a gent standing by the way. You don't while me and Bill was at
7:51
its hilter and skelter. Oh but he's a dead one, ain't he Well?
7:57
At this point I wouldn't know, but from when I saw him.
7:59
Minute, don't let that fool you, Deary. We're in love me and
8:01
Willie Boy, ain't he living doll? A fine fine husband is going to
8:05
make me too. That's why I made him the beneficiary of my life insurance.
8:09
Palid. That's exactly what I want to talk to you about. Then
8:13
go ahead and talk. What's stopping You're standing there like a bunty rooster?
8:16
That doesn't you shut up? Will of course I will, deary, and
8:22
then begging your humble pardon. But if there's anything I hate, it's a
8:26
little livered man that happens. Yes, sir, I'm sorry and listen.
8:33
Yes, my name is Dollar, Johnny Dollar. I'm an insurance investig insurance
8:37
investigatory. Well, in spite and despite of you're pretty close in peace and
8:41
manner. I don't want any of a no, no, you don't understand.
8:43
I got all I can have and from the looks of things these past
8:48
shut up a minute, of course, deary, I'm sorry you call the
8:52
insurance company, mister byron K and Inner Coastal Maritime get their little pastey faced
8:58
Byron boy. Why do you know if he had half the gut some get
9:01
he man, he would have sold me twice the insurance he did. Well,
9:03
that's not quite the way he told it to me. Well it's the
9:05
way I'm telling it to you. What am I going to do, darling?
9:11
If they place the way they're trying. Oh, this Willie boy as
9:16
you call him, who was just in here, that's a feminine What is
9:18
Captain Billy Morgan? Bill? To you? And any man? What will
9:24
you and stop yapping your head off and answer my question? Yes, sir,
9:28
now, is Captain Bill Morgan one of the people you suspected trying to
9:33
wreck this ugly looking hash house? Oh love you boy? You talked like
9:39
a real sweet over Ben made and answer my question, Well, of course
9:45
he ain't. Willie Boy wouldn't hurt me anymore than I'd touch a hair of
9:48
his pretty head if he had a hair on top of it. All right,
9:50
then who yuhnny boy? There's a dozen of him like to see.
9:54
Makes palace burn to the ground, blest the black seeven? So what because
10:00
I give them the best and the most food in the harbor, that's what
10:03
the man gets here. So what happens to the silver plate and Ernie's manor
10:07
house and Irvin's chops he joint? Well, I'm putting them out of business,
10:09
that's what. So you think they're trying to put you out of business?
10:11
You think? Can I know it? That's why I telephone that's sniveling
10:16
up your buyer and Kate to send somebody down here and make them stop it
10:20
before you had to pay off a lot of insurance on it, and maybe
10:22
even on me. Why else do you think there have been some attempts to
10:26
set the place on fire? I understand. Why else do you think a
10:28
lady like myself would take to sleeping on the bar down here every night,
10:31
getting a creak and may sake readily up. But I'm getting sick and fed
10:35
up with it. I blame trying to keep awake all night every night to
10:39
keep them from burning it out from under me and me whether it's making a
10:43
fair shadow of me for herself out of me, I'm losing my strength.
10:46
Look, while we talk, I'll help you clear up some of this.
10:48
Well, the devil you Will's not the man's job, especially since she ain't
10:52
romantically inclined towards me. But you would let Bill Morgan clean up for you.
10:58
She was the cause of it, wasn't he. Sophie and his boys
11:01
don't show up before nightfall and take care of it, So help me,
11:03
I'll kill all of them everyone. Besides, he's going to be me old
11:07
man when the fishing season's done. He's got to know how to keep in
11:09
line. Now, now you say there are people you suspect to trying to
11:15
fire this building. See all right? Three? Who are they? The
11:18
owners of the other restaurants here on the docks? Right? First? This
11:22
clean Harris? What runs the silver plate? Oh? And the sly one
11:28
he is? I mean he's too soft and polite and soft spook me.
11:33
I never trust a man unless he talks up like a man. I guess
11:35
that's why. Like you, dear, are the others near Turner at the
11:39
manor House cafe, at the big place down at the other end, the
11:43
little hole in the war next to the bait stand, and half the time
11:46
the customers don't know whether they're getting bad food or thawt out bait. And
11:52
the third one, that stubborn mule that runs Irving's Chop Suey joined having o.
11:58
What's his last name? Irving? This names Tony. Wait a minute,
12:03
what you please? Sure Tony fourteen? No Italian? Then why is
12:07
it why a Chop Suey place? Anybody has eyes? You wold? I
12:11
saw how the sign was changed. First the Chinese had it with Chop Suey,
12:13
then came Irving with kosher, so he added his name to it,
12:16
and now it's total only there wasn't any more room left on the sign.
12:20
So stop complaining, okay, But have you any specific reason to suspect any
12:26
one of them? One of them? I suspect them all the dirty cannive,
12:30
and why because they're a dirty canive. And I will tell you why,
12:35
because they won't sell out to me. Because they are three keep open
12:39
competing with me, and that's three against one. So they're a dirty well,
12:43
aren't they? How all right? Yes, sir? When you speak
12:52
to me that so you said? Now, I asked you if you have
12:56
any specific reason for suspecting any one or all of them? Corse I have,
13:00
and a gout of the threats they sent. How do you know they
13:01
sent them? Because they suspect them, that's why. And what happens three
13:05
times they tried to set fire Meg, You don't have one bit of actual
13:09
evidence against any of them, do you? Well? Do you no?
13:13
But I suspect a dirty cattle. Please? Are you sure those fires weren't
13:18
accidental? Accidental? With all the dirt and grease you leave around this in
13:22
the middle of the night with a stove fire bank like I've been doing it
13:24
for twenty years, and with all the fires starting outside where they have no
13:28
business. Look, Johnny boy, I'll show you where they started outside.
13:31
Well, now that's a good idea, because so fine, confess I can't
13:33
get very much alarmed, don't the whole town? No, I'm closed on
13:39
Sundays. Hello, And what kind of a blubberheaded income poop would be callin
13:46
Makes Palace on a Sunday when everybody knows. Oh, of course, the
13:54
gentleman's right here. It's for you, Johnny Boy. Oh hello, Johnny
14:01
Dollar. We know why you're here. Dollar. Oh yeah, who's we?
14:05
But you won't be here long understand. Well that's a matter of opinion,
14:09
isn't it. Either you go quiet the way you came, or you're
14:11
going a long wooden box. Get it? What is it, Johnny Boy,
14:20
Come on, legg let's get to work. Johnny Dollar. Byron K
14:41
and Boston. Johnny Hi, the operator had quite a time locating you.
14:45
I don't see why I'm in the only available room for rent here in Cott
14:48
Harbor. Huh, well, she said she was ringing Make's Palace Restaurant.
14:50
That's where I am. Room is right above the place. Well tell me,
14:54
have you found out whether it's true somebody is trying to burn up that
14:56
joint put Make out of business. Not only that by, but whoever's behind
15:00
the attempts to get her out of the way is threatened to get me.
15:03
Hey, hey, want some help? Yeah, yeah, I want you
15:05
to send me something by trucks soon as possible, and I want to be
15:09
sure it arrives here quietly at night, so that nobody in this little fishing
15:13
village knows it arrives. Listen carefully, by and I'll tell you. I
15:16
want you to seventy six from Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, location, Cod Harbor,
15:28
Massachusetts to the Inner Coastal Maritime and Life Insurance Company, Boston Assignment the
15:33
makes Palace Matter expense account continued expense account. Adam, Well, since you're
15:43
paying for and sending that btch of fire extinguishers Byron, I can highly charge
15:48
them to my expense account, can I? But I have a sneaking suspicion
15:50
they might be mighty important. A cursory inspection of this tiny fishing community is
15:56
revealed, no sign of a firehouse, nothing in fact, but some hoes
15:58
canne for cleaning off the docks. And after the threats Mike McCarthy has received,
16:03
plus a couple of attempts to fire up this disreputable looking establishment of hers,
16:08
well, I guess I still have some boy scout blood in my veins.
16:12
In view of the threat to me, I figured it might be a
16:15
good idea to consult the local authorities. I learned a long time ago that
16:18
it's a good plan to enlist their cooperation. We're working in a strange small
16:22
community. Inquiries from some of the fishermen mending their nets spread out in the
16:26
long wharf led me to a small, shabby, unmarked frame shack that stood
16:30
about a block away from the waterfront. Come here, come here, that's
16:37
right. What's your name? Johnny dollar dollars? Okay, what do you
16:44
want? Well, you're the chief of police. I understand, acting chief
16:48
of police, acting mayor two and acting judge, acting town clerk, acting
16:53
just about anything else you could want. I don't get it. Well,
16:56
I don't know why not officially, I guess card Harvey is just a part
17:00
of Barnsborough, a couple of miles inland. We're so small and we're not
17:04
incorporated like most towns, so we just have to be kind of self sufficient
17:10
under ourselves. You see what I mean? And you know something, it
17:14
works out pretty good. Yeah, well, I guess it. Says chief
17:18
as acting Chief of Police, that I've come to see you for about the
17:22
Make's Palace cafe and you take any stock and Mags talk about somebody threatening to
17:26
burn up that cockroads loaded dump she calls a restaurant. I'm representing the insurance
17:32
company that holds fifteen thousand dollars insurance on it. Ever come to your mind,
17:36
mister Dollar, that made your own self might have set the fires to
17:40
collect that insurance and call for help? Is the cover up? Yeah?
17:42
Yeah, the thought has entered my mind, just crazy enough to do a
17:45
thing like that too. Hasn't she been to you for help? She told
17:48
me? Oh what sort of evidence? One way or another? Have you
17:52
turned up? Dollar? I haven't looked for any Yeah? What the less
17:56
I'm medal in their affairs are less trouble I have with the folks here in
18:00
cod Hopper. Oh hey, now, wait a minute. From mayor and
18:03
police chief and so on. You don't seem to be very concerned about these
18:07
people of yours. Oh maybe I'm not. What's the difference? Well,
18:10
look here, you know, unless something serious happened, like a murderer or
18:15
or a fire that destroyed makes palace and maybe half the docks, don't you
18:18
think that sort of thing is serious? Well, yeah, if it happens,
18:22
then i'd probably have to call in the regular point of authorities over to
18:26
Barsborough. But there hasn't been any fire yet, not any real one.
18:30
So why get your dander up. I'll look with so little concern about the
18:36
place. How did you ever get all those jobs? Easy? Lost my
18:41
schooler out on the banks last fall. So for one or something better,
18:45
I just took it. You took them all? Why not? The town
18:48
feeds and bores me, and I like it so real, soft, lazy,
18:52
good for a nother life. Huh sure? Now, why don't you
18:56
be a good boy, Dollar and leave things be around here? Vote in
19:00
my time? Well, just let me take enough of your valuable time to
19:03
ask a couple of questions. Sure, go ahead, no harm and ask
19:07
it. I want to know about some of the people here in kott Harbor,
19:10
Like who Clem Harris for one? Careful boy, that's my cousin.
19:15
Who else? Ernie Turner and Tony fourteen? O oh? Account of them?
19:21
The three that run the other dirty bites along the doc. Yeah,
19:25
I'd like a rundown on all three of them. Easy, yeah, yeah,
19:27
go talk to him on. I'll wait a minute. You're just way
19:30
I know, up for you to find out all about him. You're a
19:33
lot of help, Dollar, Like I said, we're kind of self sufficient
19:38
under ourselves around here. We like it that way, and that's just another
19:44
way of saying, we don't like strangers coming here and messing around in our
19:48
affair. Well, that was pretty definitely that. It was getting quite late,
19:56
and I decided I'd better postpone any interviews with Makes business rivals until the
19:59
following morning. Besides, as I walked along the wharf, I noticed that
20:03
they were closed. Then I remembered somebody else I wanted to talk to the
20:07
beneficiary of Make McCarthy's life insurance policy, the master of the fishing boat Lily
20:11
Inn, Captain Billy Morgan. But the Lilian, tied up at her berth
20:15
was dark and empty. Well, if anyone knew where Captain Billy was,
20:18
it'd be make herself. So I walked the boards back to Make's palace.
20:22
What greeted me as I opened the back door of the place was truly a
20:26
sight to behold. Over There in the corner, eye Off, standing in
20:37
the center of the floor, brandishing a more beaten feather duster as if it
20:41
were a club, stood tempting Billy Morgan, shouting orders to three men that
20:45
were cleaning up the mess of pots and fans and broken crockery left over from
20:48
Meg McCarthy's temper tampent for a short while earlier when she belabored this same tempting
20:52
belief for a little celebration he and his crew had had and their played the
20:56
night before labored it looked like she must have one of everything in the joint
21:00
out go Hey, Cinda, Billy, Hey, hey, oh oh you
21:11
see you here earlier today when Meg throwed me out. Now looks to me
21:14
like you weren't all she threw. Yes, sir, she's a living dollar.
21:18
Okay, see, ain't you the insurance hands you telephone to help her
21:22
find out who's trying to burn her out of here? Their names Johnny Dollar,
21:26
Ain't that's right? And Clampton, I'd like to ask your favorite Tolly
21:30
a yellow belly bug, eyes bandy wasted? Don't throw that crash in the
21:36
corner. What's going out on you? Sorry, mister Dollar, but I
21:41
guess you boys don't like working the night. When he got to be up
21:44
on the board, little Anne and headed out for the fishing banks by three
21:47
am in the morning, don't blame him. We couldn't leave makes place in
21:51
a mess like this, now, could we? After all, he's gonna
21:55
have to service coffee and sinkers before we go upstairs. I've been for the
22:00
last hour in that room she's renting out to you, figured like maybe it
22:04
could stand some cleaning up and debugging. I guess she figured right. I'll
22:08
ast her. What my pole here, I'll ringing her on your bloody neck
22:12
and swam off them tables while straight to cantch. You see the message left
22:17
on him? What can I do for you? Mister donar? Look?
22:21
Why don't you and I go into the kitchen, captain where we can hear
22:23
ourselves think? Oh sure? Why not? All right? Now? You
22:26
keep out at your sowbelly longheads? How if the tide ain't clean and tidy
22:30
when I come back oppressed? You all love the least humbers. Real fine
22:38
bunch of boys I got there, ain't they? How bie? Are they?
22:41
You bet? You're sweet? Living life? They our finest crew on
22:45
any boat in the harbor, Charlie Ole in Montgomier. Now what was it
22:51
you wanted, mister dollar? You found out anything about who's causing all the
22:55
worries to my lover girl? Not very much yet? Well I hope you
22:59

23:04

23:07
I always say. All right, I'm just as concerned about mega self as
23:11
I am about this cafe. Sure you are me too, whether you like
23:15
it or not. I have to consider the fact that you are the beneficiary
23:18
of makes twenty five thousand dollars life insurance policy if anything would have happened to
23:22
her. Sure, I see what you mean. You bet your life.
23:30
I see what you mean. Why you blasted loving son of ihurt one single
23:36
hair? Megma cut Dollar? You make crash like that? If swab the
23:40
decks with that born rehire to yours and Fiji put him up, put them
23:42

23:45
down, captain, let's talk sent a minute. Box sense. Yeah,
23:47
but don't you go implicating that I didn't imply a thing yet. Well,
23:51
yes, what do you think you're talking to like that? The guests to
23:56
be humblest time. I'm sorry Megdarland, but are you from those poor boys
24:00
of yours with the cleaner up? But they're almost finished up. Get out
24:04
of here and get your sleep. You'll not be worth your salt on the
24:07
boat. I like to talk to Captain Billy tomorrow. Go out in the
24:11
boat with him in the morning, and I'll have plenty of time to talk.
24:15
I want to talk to you I get out with them. Go on,
24:18

24:27
As Johnny boy. You go out with them, Please give me a
24:32
chance to fix your room up really nice for you, like I should be
24:34
for a gentleman like yourself. Okay, Meg, Come to think of it,
24:38
I was promise the fishing trip on this case anyways, or not to
24:41
be worrying about any fires tonight with you staying here. So if you don't
24:47
mind, I'll retire to my bed and see you at breakfast time. Okay,
24:51
maybe I can help Billy's crew finish cleaning up and the Oh don't you
24:55
lift a finger. It was a twilly boy. I told them plates and
24:59
things, so and his crew and clean it up. Good night, Johnny
25:03
Pool. There's food in the ice box in your beds are I stood there
25:11
for a moment, smiling after her. Then I decided I'd take her advice
25:15
and instead of helping the men clean up the cafe, I'd get a breath
25:18
of fresh air before hitting the sack. The moon was just a thin sliver
25:23
in the eastern sky, and the stars twinkled merrily in the broad, clear
25:26
expanse. Overhead, the cottages of the peaceful little fishing village were dark.
25:33
Along the docks at the waterfront, the fishing boats playfully nudged each other as
25:37
they slowly and quietly swung and rolled on the gently heaving water. Their mass
25:41
and rigging formed an intricate, ever changing pattern against the occasional beam from the
25:45
lighthouse and the point as it lazily swept across the night. Somewhere far out
25:49
on the land with breeze, an occasional seabird called It was also peaceful and
25:56
serene that I couldn't help wondering how trouble would ever come to a Then I
26:00
saw it, a slight movement at the front corner of the old building.
26:03
A silhouette hunched over tensely watching the front door, waiting, waiting for home.
26:08
Slowly, as quietly as possible, I crept up on whoever it was,
26:11
hoping in the dim light to recognize him or her before I was discovered.
26:17
Softly I passed the side door. I could still hear the members of
26:19
the crew inside of their work, but in my concentration the person out front,
26:23
I was too slow in my reaction when that side door suddenly opened behind
26:26
me. What who oh? You very suddenly it got very dark. Now
26:49
here's our star to tell you about tomorrow's episode of this week's story. Tomorrow
26:53
a trip to sea in the Lilyanne that starts out like an ordinary fishing trip,
26:59
but some were on board leks a man with murder in his heart and
27:03
his next intended victim me join us, won't you? Yours Truly Johnny Dollar.
27:27
Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, starring Bob Bailey, is transcribed in Hollywood.
27:33
It is produced and directed by Jack Jemstone, who also wrote this week's story.
27:38
Be sure to join us tomorrow night at same time in station for the
27:42
next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Roy Rowan speaking welcome back,
28:45
well if you had any doubt. The actress playing this role is Virginia Greg.
28:52
Virginia Greg. Of course, we've heard her in a lot of roles
28:56
in Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, as well as other series, playing roles
29:00
such as fem fatales or beautiful damsels. Here definitely a bit of a departure,
29:10
and I just as I'm listening to this, I have to imagine Virginia
29:12
greg was having a blast with this character, and she would occasionally get these
29:22
roles. I think a lot in her later years when you look at the
29:26
drag net work from the nineteen sixties on television, that there were certain roles
29:32
she got she just seemed to really sink her teeth into. She could do
29:38
great dramatic parts, but when you gave her a role that had a flare
29:45
of comedy to it in different characterizations, she could just go to town.
29:51
And I think that's definitely coming through here in this story. But obviously Johnny
29:56
is in a mystery, and the fact that the person who's hostly the law
30:00
doesn't care very much, well, that doesn't bode well. We'll find out
30:03
what will happen to Johnny on Wednesday. And then I have a comment that
30:10
sent through from Sharon just discovered Johnny Dollar on tune in radio and really like
30:15
the commentary. Well, thanks so much, Sharon, I appreciate your comments.
30:19
That'll actually do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with the
30:23
Casebook of Gregory Hood and as I said, Wednesday will continue on with the
30:29
makes Palace Matter. Also coming up this Saturday, we'll be playing for you
30:33
Homicide Okaine, so be sure and listen to that. In the meantime,
