It's time now for Johnny Dollar. This is a hotel operator, mister

You're crazy tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of the

Man with the Action Packed Expenser gout America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigators, Truly Johnny
2:15
Dollar expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny Dollar to Richard Porter for Ady Webster
2:36
Boulevard, Providence, Rhode Island. The following is an accounting of expenditures during
2:39
my investigation of the Shepherd matter. I was pretty sick of it and with
2:46
it. When I had Paul Forbes visit me in my hotel room about seven
2:49
o'clock in the morning. He used a gun in front of me once before
2:52
to crack my skull. I decided i'd try to avoid that again, so
2:55
I sat down and I played good. It didn't seem to please him a
3:00
bit. You were up to my house about an hour ago, weren't you.
3:02
Yeah. I went out to talk to your wife. Yeah, I
3:04
saw you. I was across the street watching. I followed you here fixing
3:09
up another deal. I don't know what you're talking about. Forbes. I
3:13
followed you here so we could have a little talk, and we're going to
3:15
have it. You and I you ought to put that gun away and let
3:17
them take you. Forbes, where do you live in Hartford, Kennedy?
3:21
I mean, where do you live in town here? I don't I live
3:23
in Hartford. Where do you practice practice? What are you trying to get
3:25
funny with me? I don't practice anything here in Providence. I don't live
3:29
here. I'm just here for a few days doing what working on an insurance
3:34
matter? Insurance matter? You're licensed to practice law on Rhode Island. Oh,
3:39
You've got something all wrong, Forbes. I don't practice law. I'm
3:43
not a lawyer. I'm an insurance investigator. I tried to tell you that
3:46
yesterday morning when you cracked me with that gun. I was called in by
3:50
doctor Shepherd. He said you threatened his life. You're lying to me.
3:53
Shepherd called me yesterday morning, said lawyer named Dollar was on his way over
3:57
to talk to me about getting Pauline a divorce. You're a lawyer. I'm
3:59
what I I am. If you hadn't started swinging that gun butt around,
4:02
I'd have told you why I was there yesterday. You got a billfold or
4:06
something my coat pocket inside on the back of that chair there. I think
4:12
I know why. Shepherd called you and told you I was a lawyer.
4:15
I think he wanted you to attack me and make me up up. You
4:20
and Shepherd are trying to pull something to take my wife away from me.
4:24
I know that much. And now you're trying to pull something to get out
4:28
of this jam. You're wrong, Forbes. I don't know anything about trying
4:30
to take your wife away from you. You know I didn't kill Shepherd.
4:33
How do I know you didn't kill him? You threatened him. Half a
4:36
dozen people have attested to that. I know you had a reason to kill
4:40
him. I know every time I've seen you, you had a gun in
4:42
your hands and you've been swinging it at somebody, particularly me. You know
4:46
who did it. You're in on it somewhere. You know who killed Shepherd,
4:49
and you're gonna clear me. You're gonna tell me dollar. I'm gonna
4:53
whip it out of here. You're going crazy, all right, Get on
5:01
your feet. He sat in the chair just the way I propped him there.
5:14
His eyes looked dull and lifeless, as though he were already dead.
5:17
I couldn't think of anything brilliant to say or do, so I rummies around
5:20
my suitcase and pulled out a bottle. Then I found a pair of glasses
5:25
in the bathroom and poured a couple of drinks. When I came on out,
5:28
he hadn't moved from the chair. He looked crumpled, like a worn
5:30
out suit of clothes. He made no effort to look at me when I
5:33
took the glass in his hand. Here, try this, go on,
5:39
go on, drink it. Why didn't you call the police? Now you
5:46
say you followed me here to have a talk and find out what's what?
5:49
Now's the time to talk, pal. This thing isn't the best conversation piece
5:54
in the world. Leave me alone calling him? You have something going for
5:59
you here? This gun hasn't been fired. Do you have another one?
6:01
No? No, dollar, I didn't kill doctor Shepherd. I wanted to
6:09
more than anything in the world, but I didn't kill. Now, look,
6:12
I want some facts, So let's start. Well, last night,
6:15
where were you when Shepherd was shot? How do I know where I was?
6:19
I don't even know what time he was. Let's start with yesterday morning.
6:24
You slugged me, ran out of the house, jumped in the car,
6:26
and what happened? Go on? Take it from there. I drove
6:30
over doctor Shepherd's office. I was going to have it out with him.
6:35
He was breaking up my home or go on? Did you see him?
6:40
No? I parked down the street from his office, and then I saw
6:45
him jump in his car and I followed him. He came back over here.
6:48
I knew my wife must have called him to take care of you.
6:51
What happened? Then I went over to the park and sat and tried to
6:58
figure things out. You don't know what I've been through this past year,
7:02
all right, go on, go on. Then I went to a bar.
7:06
I was hungry. I hadn't eaten all day. I got a couple
7:10
of sandwiches, and then I had some drinks. I don't know how many.
7:14
Anyhow, the more I drank, more hopeless everything looked. Did you
7:18
call Shepherd? Yeah? Yeah, I called him from the bar? Any
7:24
idea what time it was? Must have been around five or six? What
7:30
difference does it all make? I'm cooked? And you know, go on,
7:32
well, you call Shepherd? Then? What did you do? I
7:36
told him I wanted to talk to him about everything that had happened. I
7:42
told him where to meet me. You mean you wanted doctor Shepherd to come
7:45
down and meet you so you could kill him. Maybe I did have that
7:48
in my mind. I don't know. On the phone, he sounded so
7:54
calm and said we could talk it out and straighten it out, like gentlemen.
7:58
Did you talk to him? No? Oh, I didn't see him
8:01
at all. I waited an hour and he never showed up. I called
8:05
his office back and the answering service had everyone had gone out for the day,
8:07
and I didn't know what to do. I got back in my car
8:11
and turned on the radio, and that's where I heard I was wanted for
8:13
murder. Tell her I didn't do it. I swear I didn't. I
8:16
had reason enough, but I didn't. I knew all about the others,
8:22
but this was serious. Wait a minute, what are these Pauline's always had
8:26
other friends friends, I guess. I don't guess I love her anymore.
8:37
I don't know. I don't think she ever loved me. But I needed
8:41
her. I needed her more than anything this last year or so, and
8:46
at times I did love her the way it once was. And I found
8:50
out what was going on between her and Shepherd. She wanted a divorce.
8:54
I wouldn't give her a divorce if I had let her and Shepherd get away,
9:00
with It would have been too much to take to ask, Oh,
9:03
this doesn't make sense. Even though you didn't love her and she didn't love
9:07
you, you wouldn't stand still for a divorce action. It sounds stupid.
9:09
I just told you I needed her so much this last year or so so
9:16
much still doesn't make any sense. Forbes, why didn't you let it go?
9:20
She knew she didn't have to divorce me. She knew it wouldn't be
9:24
too long. What Shepherd gave me a year Another doctor in Baltimore eighteen months
9:35
leukemia. Don't you see she would have been free. They could have waited
9:43
until I was dead, at least just that until I was dead, couldn't
9:48
they Well, couldn't they expense account? I am ten two dollars sleeping pills.
9:58
I fed them to them all with a cup of hot chocolate. He
10:01
had a pretty worn out. Within fifteen minutes, he was sound asleep in
10:03
my bed. Idam eleven four dollars sixteen cents. One long distance phone call
10:09
to a Baltimore clinic, where I spoke with the doctor Franz Mueller. Doctor
10:13
Muller confirmed what Forbes had said. Forbes was doomed with an incurable ailment.
10:18
It hadem twelve twenty cents. Another phone call, this one from the hotel
10:22
lobby to the cor in his office. I learned that Shepherd had been killed
10:24
by thirty two caliber slugs. Forbes gun A thirty two had not been fired
10:28
or hastily cleaned. His story was checking out. That left just one small
10:33
item to be cleared up. Expense acount item thirteen four dollars taxi fare from
10:37
my hotel back to the Oakdale Home. Special rates for nurses. Oh,
10:45
I thought you'd be back to see me. Oh, I'm glad it's you,
10:52
mister Dollar. Go ahead. That's an old story, old and corny.
11:01
I applied for a job as doctor Shepherd's nurse five years ago, and
11:05
I fell in love with him that very day. I've loved him every day
11:11
from that time on. Five years go on. I don't know when it
11:18
was when you started up with missus Forbes. I knew she was trying to
11:22
get a divorce. I knew mister Forbes wouldn't stand for it. Then one
11:26
day last week, I guess it was, I heard doctor talking to her
11:31
on the phone. He said, there's a way to get rid of him.
11:37
I knew he was talking about getting rid of mister Forbes. Did they
11:39
discuss the part about Shepherd getting Forbes to threaten his life in front of witnesses
11:43
so he could shoot him down when the time came. No, I didn't
11:46
know that until yesterday morning. It's a long ago. It seems you came
11:52
to see doctor and then you left. I overheard him on the phone again.
11:56
He called up mister Forbes and said mister Doller was coming over to talk
12:00
about the divorce action, and he knew Forbes would be upset enough to attack
12:03
me. Doctor was very good about anticipating what people would do and given situations,
12:09
even me. I was in the office when mister Forbes called last night.
12:15
I saw a doctor put the gun in his coat. I knew he
12:18
was going down to meet mister Forbes and shoot him, so I followed him.
12:24
He was working around in the dark looking for mister Forbes with a gun
12:26
in his hand. I ran up to him and pleaded with him not to
12:31
be crazy, that missus Forbes wasn't worth it, and he said he was
12:35
going to kill me too. He struggled, the gun went off. I
12:39
don't know how many times I can help you came and you didn't mean to
12:45
kill him. He meant to shoot you. When all these other details come
12:48
out, the most they can charge you with a second of me justifiable or
12:50
manslunter. No, you're nice, but I can't get off. Huh,
12:58
I guess the police haven't found it. I went over and killed missus forbes
13:05
an hour ago. Expense account, I am fourteen, same as IDEM want
13:13
transportation back to Hartford. The next time you have a doubtful insurance application,
13:18
mister porter, settle it yourself or call someone else. Don't call me.
13:22
As far as I can add up, and I'm not going to recheck the
13:24
figures expens a count total is four hundred and eighty five dollars. Yours truly,
13:30
Johnny Dollar. Now here's our star to tell you about next week's intriggering
13:46

14:20
time in Station for another exciting story of Yours Truly. Johnny Dollar, Roy
14:24
Rowan speaking welcome Back. Well, this was one of those episodes that turned
15:58
everything we thought on its head. I think throughout the show that really Forbes
16:06
looked like a bad guy, and then we, you know, we get
16:15
to the ending, you just feel bad for the guy. You know,
16:18
just a horrible way that things went. And this episode, by the way,
16:22
was one of the early John Lunn episodes. This was based on The
16:30
Shepherd Matter, which was originally broadcast December fifth, nineteen fifty two, which
16:34
explains in part the extremely downbeat ending. This was one story where you get
16:41
to the end and it looks like that there'll be, if there'll be a
16:49
situation where the nurse will be able to walk and start over again. But
16:53
then it comes out that she just went in an effort to get vengeance killedness
17:00
is Fords. I don't know why. Johnny blames the insurance agent for this.
17:07
He's the one who came in and investigate and actually stayed on it after
17:12
the insurance angle was pretty much over once Doctor Shepherd died back in part three.
17:18
But that just tends to be, I guess, one of the more
17:21
emotional aspects of these expense accounts. All right, well, now we move
17:25
on to listener comments and feedback, and have a comment episode ten seventy one,
17:33
Rebecca says very interesting, and of episode ten seventy three, pastor Lisa
17:38
said, enjoyed the podcast. I love Johnny Doller. Well, thanks so
17:42
much. Now we're going to turn to another program. It's time for Doctor
17:48
Tim Detective. And we had a couple of lost episodes. I don't know
17:53
the titles, but the program we played last week was episode six. This
17:59
week's program this episode nine. So here's the Mystery of the Chest of Dynamite.
18:06
There's Doctor Tim Detective to bring you, by transcription, the Mystery of
18:10
the Chest of Dynamite. You couldn't have asked for anything nicer than the way
18:26
that day started out. Sandy and Jill, very special pals of mine,
18:30
had insisted that this was the day for the hike four miles over the mountain
18:36
and back again. I tried to protect my aging bones by protesting, but
18:41
it was no use. I was outvoted. Gee guysh doctor Tim, we've
18:45
already explored everything around the cabin. Oh sure, with a vacation in the
18:48
mountain four if you're just gonna sit around and be ninety. Besides, it
18:51
isn't healthy. Everybody needs exercise, all right, all right, But as
18:56
a doctor, I resent having my own advice flung in my teeth. I
19:02
merely said that a certain amount of mild exercise was good for the constitutions,
19:07
the house of it amount. You just to talking about dating amount and no
19:11
more. Oh my aching back tomorrow. Ah, come on, all right
19:15
on, Jill, you picks up a lunch, and Sandy be sure the
19:19
car winders are rolled up in case of ring. Okay, you better lock
19:22
it while you're at it. Never can tell whom I'd come falling around,
19:25
even this far off the beaten tracks. Yes, and that's how I got
19:29
myself mixed up in what I like to call the mystery of the chest of
19:33
Dynamite, Because if we hadn't started off on that height, I'm getting ahead
19:37
of myself anyway. Among the unusual features of the mystery. Perhaps the chief
19:41
one was that I got mad, good and mad, more angry in fact,
19:45
than I had in all the years I've gone through life as a combination
19:48
of doctor and detective, because the cheap thing that makes me mad is criminal,
19:55
carelessness and stupidity. Well, anyway, we headed for the mountains.
20:12
Are we going to stout and rest at all? Exercise, my dear Jill,
20:18
is excellent for the human constitution, you said, So why should we
20:22
temper these soft bodies with RESTful ease when vigorous and health giving stimulation lies right
20:29
upon our path? Or the next time I opened my big mouth. Of
20:33
course, if I weren't about to give out myself relief, I had walked
20:37
till you dropped. I'm dropping all way. However, unless my eyes deceive
20:41
me. That looks like a farmhouse to the left, about a thousand yards
20:45
away. Oh boy, milk, jallons A yeah, no, no,
20:51
no, no milk unless it's pasteurized. Kids, We're allow have to stick
20:53
to can milk until we get back to town. I was thinking of a
20:56
nice haystack to stretch out on the owner's permission, of course, uh picnic
21:02
lunch in the past day somebody's waiting at us. Why and that gos to
21:07
come over? Still the Oh yeah, I don't want it. What's the
21:11
matter somebody in travel, Well, that's your second wind and follow me.
21:15
Maybe somebody has been injured her up. In just a few moments we were
21:32
getting the story from the old man. He must have been near seventy.
21:34
And so when I see gift, I would hoping it might be some of
21:37
the neighbors had to go for some health or just mind, don't go look
21:41
to have it turn out to be some city folks. Hey, there's both.
21:45
Maybe a night horse right there. Trum me to now just a minute,
21:48
everybody, this, what's the matter? Matter? Where? Matter?
21:51
Now? Why I'm up here? All mama self to durn lane to get
21:53
on horseback. It's your knife hold that darned wife and that fool daughter or
21:57
two it gets one. I might have taken the only audimo be on the
22:00
place and going up, traking off there the city for a week. Mind
22:04
you were didn't even do backward day after tomorrow. He asked me, that's
22:08
going to be too late, Yes, sy too late. Then they blame
22:12
me, my look, blame you for what is something wrong? Wrong?
22:15
Why were things been wrong since my daughter's husband got killed at their war?
22:19
Or they see no face for a little kid. This thing I said the
22:22
one thousand times. If somebody hurt, I'm a hurt worthy nothing here to
22:27
hurt. Nobody just came down to the saw. Oh this person he did
22:32
Nobody can blame me for that. If it's more heaven going up trake.
22:37
I don't think he means that I said kid in nor why of course there
22:40
isn't. I've been telling you what well, good gosh, why did you
22:41
say was the matter? Why did you realize? I didn't wait to hear
22:45
more, but left Sandy Angel explaining the old man. As I dashed inside
22:48
the house and found the bedroom, sick kid was an understatement. I didn't
22:52
know what was the matter. But as I stooped down over the bed and
22:55
got a look at the child, about five years old, I'd guess I
22:59
knew one thing. The fight was now with death. Well, I've been
23:15
in some type situations, but never one like this. My car, and
23:19
of course my medical bag was in It was several miles over the mountains.
23:23
The nearest phone was fourteen miles away. The child was dying and for help
23:29
I had two kids and a daughter, and half scared of death. Old
23:32
man Silently I worked over the child, trying to ease the breathing going over
23:37
in my mind with things that might be wrong, summoning all the knowledge of
23:40
my lifetime, trying to think what treatment I could give. In a few
23:44
moments, the old man entered kind of sick, any very sick. First
23:48
off, seems to be some kind of poisoning. When did he eat last
23:53
night? Yeah, let me see now for first thing, four or five
23:56
days drinking he won a nothing's inch mm hmm, what did he eat it?
24:03
Nothing? I ain't it myself, not been fine. Durned rheumatism seemed
24:07
to drive every year that durned rumty car, you mean the rumatatm where are
24:11
you? Child? Sat? Cold fever? Where you did sort of complain
24:15
about feet and hats and chill me in and said it's how the thought was
24:18
hurting. I went over a rapid list in my mind. Deysteria one of
24:22
the signs, scarlet fever. Same, but something toxic, something poison was
24:26
working in that child's body, and unless I could find out, the end
24:32
was a matter of hours. The pulse was rapid fready the breathing difficult,
24:36
and the temperature. Even without a thermometer, I knew it was dangerously high.
24:40
Suddenly I had a thought. I turned to the old man. You
24:42
drive a car for me? Nope, never been behind the one whole I
24:48
can dodges him. I know not old enough to have a license, but
24:51
my dad's been teaching me. Or that car has to be driven, you
24:53
won't need a license, Sandy. I've got to have that medical bag,
24:57
and I've got to have the car here in case I decided there moved the
25:00
child and get into a hospital. And I can't leave because that as murder.
25:07
You'd think you could get the car here over that trail we came in
25:08
on the other day. Wow, I think so I ought to be shot
25:12
for letting you try, And I'm afraid it means a life here mckeys catch
25:19
now run run over the mountain as you've never run before. An hour passed,
25:36
the child was resting more easily, Jill and I returns, wiping his
25:38
face and trying to make it more comfortable with straining ears. I listened for
25:42
the car. Would Sandy make it well? It was too soon to tell,
25:47
yet lost in thought it wasn't until Jill repeated what she was saying to
25:52
me, that it sank into my consciousness. Dotty can the old man said,
25:56
he get in my body. But maybe it's candy gets any is made
26:00
Jimmy strange. I never thought of the child is having a name. And
26:06
then suddenly, what what does that? You said? His medicine, you
26:08
old man, thing rambling on about it. King Try came with one bound.
26:11
I was at the door of the bedroom calling the old man, and
26:14
a moment he appeared. Yes, you're a fine kind of doctor. And
26:17
how to give them folks something they can take? Were the poor little kid
26:19
in there? You've been giving this child medicine? Of course, a half
26:22
real drum store medicine too. The dock down there seven mile. He fixed
26:26
it up for me when I had a sore throat last week, the same
26:29
as, kid, give me here quick, let me have that bottle.
26:30
Sure, As I turned my head once again to listen to the sound of
26:34
a motor car, an idea was beginning to shape itself in my mind.
26:37
If that medicine was what I thought it might be, I snatched the bottle
26:42
from the old man's hands. He came inside the door. Katy kill.
26:45
What's the manner sofa. You've been giving this child an adult dose of SOFA
26:51
for five days. Give it to him just like I says. You're on
26:53
the bottle for Jacky Kim. I've got to self a judge. But good
26:56
for stor throut and all kinds of in taking, Yes, like rat poison
27:00
is good for a rat. You mean, Dunn. It's sit down and
27:03
listen. Listen carefully before you murder someone else. More people have been killed
27:08
by taking the wrong drugs than are killing any war said to Dark told me,
27:12
yes, he told you to take it, not that child. It
27:15
was your prescription for your illness. You were safe taking it. It wasn't
27:18
met for Jimmy. Do you know what's happened to that child? He's dying
27:23
of uremic poisoning. That's SOFA drug too Bigados has formed crystals in his kidneys,
27:29
has pugged them up until they can't work for Jimmy anymore. All the
27:32
poisons, the waste matter, and the kidneys had been killing him for days.
27:34
He will Dark, I didn't mean to do it, of course,
27:37
you didn't mean to hurt him, But you tied the safety valve down on
27:41
the boiler. Oh, I'd like to take the contents of half the medicine
27:45
chests of this country and dig a pit and bury them. Evaporated iodin left
27:48
for goodness knows how long to burn and scar an innocent victim poisons taken in
27:52
the belief they are antiseptics, sleeping pills, that kids get hold of them
27:56
and kill themselves. I'm only lie cleaning fluid right in the meadowson chests.
28:00
We're forced to drink some night medicine chest there chests of chynamite. That's what
28:06
you you? Oh, what's the use? I'm sorry. I didn't mean
28:14
to lose my temper, Okay, Jimmy, well I steal now, you'll
28:21
be better soon. The next half hour was broken only by the softly spoken
28:37
conversation between Jill and myself as we spent our thoughts to Sandy in the car.
28:42
A rough job for a kid with no experience in driving, sky King.
28:47
Can you do something even your medical bare? Hope? So, Jill,
28:52
all depends upon what I did the other day when I left my laboratory.
28:56
Well, I had a supply of SpineLine esthetic, you know, the
29:00
stuff he used for operations when you don't want to give ether. He inject
29:03
it into the spine. I I think I put it in my bag.
29:07
I'm praying that I did help. It will probably save Jimmy's life, you
29:15
say, Jill. In the last War, a lot of soldiers took an
29:18
overdose of sulfur. They didn't know they were supposed to drink lots of water,
29:22
take baking soda with it, And at first the army doctors thought the
29:26
only way to save their lives was to operate upon the kidneys. You may
29:29
know the many way for sure. The doctors discovered by accident that when they
29:33
gave the spinal anesthetic to get the soldier ready for the operation, the anesthetic
29:37
itself often seemed to start the kidneys to working again without the operation. Really,
29:44
and if you do have any new bank, yes, even at that
29:48
it's dangerous business, Jill. To inject that anesthetic is dangerous in itself.
29:52
It really should be done in the hospital. But driving forty miles over these
29:56
roads would mean sure death for Jimmy, who love Oh Lord, it has
30:03
to be run, run, Jill quick Well. Sandy was the hero of
30:22
the day, all right. Although I wake up nights sometimes in horror at
30:26
the thought of his wrestling that car over the trail to the ranch. Locks
30:30
had been with me, that medicine was in my bag. A couple of
30:33
times we thought we'd lose Jimmy, but he did pull through. But the
30:37
funny thing was the way my getting sore acted on the old farmer. As
30:41
soon as Jimmy pulled over the hump, he had a celebration. I was
30:45
napping peacefully on the couch when okay, Doc, I've done it. I'd
30:52
torn that medicine yet plumb out. There ain't gonna have no more dynamite around
30:56
here, No, sue, Well, I chuckle to myself, You're never
31:03
too old to learn. This is doctor Tim Detective saying, so long until
31:11
next week, at the same time, when Sandy, Jill and I will
31:15
bring you the exciting transcribe mystery of the Poisoner at Large. Welcome back.
32:13
While the show continues to do a good job of public health education, and
32:17
I think Doctor Tim definitely justifiably upset about the situation and overall, though a
32:30
pretty solid story making the point about the importance of only using prescription medication that's
32:37
actually prescribed to you, with just a touch of humor to lighten up at
32:42
the end, so nicely done. I should mention that Doctor Tim the Doctor
32:45
will be out next week. We have another lost episode serial of Yours Truly
32:52
Johnny Dollar, so we'll have a special on Wednesday, and then we will
32:58
have the final two parts we have of the Lonely Hearts Matter on Friday,
33:04
So Doctor Tim will return in two weeks. Comment on From now we turn
33:09
to iTunes comment from Tiger B sixty five, who says, actually, regarding
33:15
the Yours Truly Johnny Dollar podcast, I only wish I could see the full
33:19
name of the episode before I play it. Well, thanks so much for
33:22
the comment, Tiger, and I wish there was a way we could do
33:25
that, But with the series length mean what it is, and in an
33:35
addition to that of the title of the series, the title of episode and
33:40
on the is a part number. I suppose we could always try and a
33:44
breaviate Yours Truly Johnny Dollar in the title, but that might make it harder
33:47
for new listeners to find us, so sorry, there's not a really good
33:52
answer to this question. Now we turn to a question about Jack Webb,
34:00
who will be coming back here in a few months as Pete Kelly and Pete
34:05
Kelly's Blues, and then not Pete Kelly's Blues but pat No back for hire,
34:09
and then in Dragnet listen or emails, I've fallen in love with Jack
34:15
Web That voice was amazing. I have a question for you, the expert.
34:19
In every movie and TV show I've seen Jack in from the late nineteen
34:23
forties on, he's worn a bracelet let on his right wrist. What's the
34:28
story with the bracelet? It's killing me? Well, Karen in injury to
34:31
your question, The story of the bracelet is that it's just a simple chain
34:37
bracelet. It does look in some shots when you see it on television like
34:45
it might be something else, but looking at it still, it's just a
34:51
simple gold chain bracelet. Now, as to why he wears it, I
34:57
don't know. It's just because some and that he liked to wear. And
35:01
unfortunately I'm not aware of any additional information other than it's just a gold chain
35:07
bracelet. All right, Well, that will finish us up for today.
35:10
We'll be back tomorrow with the lineup and join us on Monday if we start
35:15
a new Johnny Dollar story, and in two weeks join us for Doctor Tim
