2:00
yet. They've just discovered the body and a vacant looped over near the river
2:01
on sixteenth Street. Step on it, okay, oh captain? Oh so
2:22
you finds are keeping yourself baby? Yeah, we find a case for you.
2:25
You'd better not moving in there until we got here. Who is it?
2:29
I don't know. I'll throw your light on him, manday guy M
2:32
I know this guy when we were kids. We used to live next door
2:36
to each other. I busted his nose once for cheating at marbles. But
2:39
he was a nice kid named Spencer Ay, Spencer Gambler. Eh, yeah,
2:44
he'd better on anything. I used to tell him. Case, we're
2:46
gonna pick you up dead sometime. It'll either buy be by your own hand
2:51
because you're brokeer because you've cut corners on some guy. And well who found
2:55
him? I did. I was lotting along the river road about four blocks
2:59
from here when I heard her shot. I figured it was up this way.
3:02
I guess it about ten minutes before I found him. I'm sorry,
3:06
was shot in the chest. So I beat it for an all night,
3:07
resting on the corner and called for you. I'm glad you did. Of
3:10
course the world won't miss say he spent so much, but he was a
3:14
swell guy. Yeah, what do you know about him? Mucking captain?
3:16
I disagreeing with you? Did you see her? Hear a car around after
3:20
the shot and no shirt and chester powderburn looks like he let himself have it
3:24
and pitch forward. Here's her rot captain thirty two automatic loaded for one and
3:30
here's the ejected shell. Did you go through his pockets? First? Thing
3:34
at five dollars and sixty cents and he spent not a diamond his wallet as
3:39
a package of matches with a name Carrington Hotel stamped on him five bucks.
3:44
Ah. Last time I saw him he was carrying ten grand or so.
3:47
He must have taken an awful beating. Yeah you go back on your beat,
3:52
Evans, Yes, sir, I'm glad to get rid of that guy
3:54
standing around saying, yeah, it gives me the willys. Yeah, don't
3:59
see that gun. He's gone all right. He wanted to get a license
4:03
to carry it. The last time I talked to him, I told him
4:06
nothing to do him. He laughed and said he wouldn't need it. That's
4:10
the only one he'd ever use it on it for himself. You think he'd
4:13
done that job isself? Captain? Those all the ear marks of a homemade
4:15
job. We might check up on the Carrancon Hotel. It's a pretty rich
4:18
a place for a guy with only five bucks to be stay in. But
4:20
well, come on, I'm Captain Fraser from plete headquarters. Do you have
4:43
a man registered here with the name of Spencer, William Spencer Just a minute,
4:46
Hey, that guy didn't live here the way he would say. He
4:49
must have picked those matches up. It's the only thing we had to go
4:53
on. It doesn't seem to be anyone registered here by the name of Spencer.
4:56
Let me see your register. What are you looking for, cap Oh,
5:00
I don't know. Just some men. Their names. Well, here's
5:02
one WF. Collins, that's Bull Collin's another gambler, and here's Flash Douglas.
5:08
Seems to be a hangout of gambler. Yeah, but they Spencer rights
5:11
in their class. Oh he isn't they listen? Those guys couldn't hold a
5:14
candle. They Spencer in his prime. Come on, well, now that's
5:16
a matter of routine. We're going to make the rounds of the cheaper hotels.
5:20
I've got a hunch to day's had a room with one of them.
5:39
How long he's going to keep this up? Captain? Do you know we
5:43
haven't stopped for lunch. We'll try this on and then call it today.
5:46
Hey you yeah, you have a William Spencer living here? Yeah, room
5:49
nine. But he ain't in we know it. He's on a slab in
5:53
the county. More give me the key to his room. I'm surprised none.
5:56
He's been acting funny ever since the boss told me me to have to
5:59
pay render get out. Was they much behind? Oh? About two months?
6:01
You know I couldn't save it. That guy never had a diamond yet
6:04
he was wearing a diamond sparkler on his finger. That knocked it dead.
6:08
Yeah, I remember seeing it the last time I saw him alive. He
6:11
always wore it for sentimental reasons. Bought it for a girl who died.
6:15
Said, no matter how cup he found this leading, he'd never found it
6:17
well, he had pondered or had it lifted to die what do you mean?
6:20
Well, I mean he wasn't wearing it when we found him. Maybe
6:25
it's in his room. We'll look, come on, Andy, down his
6:28
hall. Well it's not here. And here's the reason. A pond ticket
6:38
for a diamond ring dated yesterday. Where'd you find that? His suitcase here?
6:42
So he finally decided upon that way? Man, You know, Andy,
6:46
he must have had a reason for doing it. Why what was the
6:47
ring worth? Not a scentless than Tim Graham? And he was walking around
6:51
and penniless with a spark are like that. He wouldn't have parted with it
6:56
for a million unless he had a certain use for the money. He was
6:59
a well guy, sentimental to well, you get that, captain. There's
7:02
something there, Andy. I'm not saying that a spencer didn't kill himself,
7:06
but I'm saying that he must have had a reason for pawning that ring.
7:10
And I'm gonna find out what happened to the money. Say how about something
7:26
deed wort? We go to the pawn shop that will, we get down
7:29
to talk to that stool pigeon. Then we come back here to the Carrington
7:32
Hotel. Oh, you've gotta see down here. Keep your shirt on Andy.
7:38
If A bumped himself off, he must have had a reason. I'm
7:41
gonna find out what that reason was. We're looking for room six eighty one.
7:45
Oh what does that stoody mean? When he said Ace was framed in
7:47
a poker game, he was talking about last summer A Spencer dropped twenty three
7:51
thousand bucks in one game, and I was talked that he was framed.
7:55
Maybe he was, Maybe he wasn't. Maybe if he was framed last summer,
7:58
he was framed again tonight. That's why I bumped himself off. Saul
8:01
Levison said he gave him ten grand on the ring. He told him he
8:05
get it back tomorrow. Yeah, here we are? Who lives here?
8:09
Bull Collins? I got a hunch that maybe eight came up here tonight for
8:11
a game. Bull Collins is supposed to be the guy who broke in last
8:15
summer. Maybe he's uh oh bo remember me? I mean? Yeah,
8:24
just time for a little drink. No thanks the car, You can skip
8:28
the rope too. Who's your friend? Oh don't you know? Flash Flash
8:31
ducklets Captain Praiser, how do you do? What can I do? See
8:35
it? Captain? A Spencer bumped himself off tonight. No, yes,
8:39
he did it because he lost heavily in a poker game earlier in the evening.
8:43
We found a packet of matches from this hotel, and I found your
8:46
name on the register downstairs. Putting two and two together, I figured that
8:50
maybe Ace was in the game with Ewan Douglas is a swell jab, a
8:52
figure in cap'ain. Ace was up here tonight lost ten grand said he was
8:56
clean, but I doubt it. He was giving it three year straight.
8:58
We found him only five bucks on him. No, what if I hadn't
9:01
known that time? Today? Show up thirty this afternoon? Whose cards did
9:07
you use? Well? What do you mean by that? You know what
9:09
I mean with the game on the level? Boat? You know it was
9:13
My games are always on the level. Anyway, He's had me send down
9:16
at the cigar stand for two French tacks. Oh he did, Duddy,
9:20
Well, it's at his show. No, come on, Andy, we
9:22
won't be bothering these these gentlemen any longer. Can we stop at the coffee
9:37
shop for a fight the captain? Pretty soon, Andy, we have some
9:39
important business over here at the cigar stands. Hey, buddy, Yes,
9:43
what can I do for you? Plenty. We're officers. You were working
9:46
at four thirty, I said, afternoon, won't you? Why? Yes,
9:50
you remember sending some cards up to Room six point eighty one. Yes?
9:54
What are you getting to fluffed about? I merely asked if you remember
9:56
sending him up? Yes, yes, I sent him up decks? I
10:00
see right to get him out of the showcase here. Why are you sure
10:03
you got him out of the showcase? Why? Sure? How many decks
10:07
you got to web? Hi? I don't know, conhem and yes,
10:11
up here in plain sight, I said, bring them all up? One,
10:15
two, three, four, five, sixty seven, eight, nine,
10:18
ten. What's your name? Son, Bailey? Spread Bailey? Been
10:22
working here long? No, sir? Well, how is it that the
10:26
day clerk inventory has been playing cards before you came on at ten decks and
10:30
you sent two decks to room six eighty one and you still got ten decks
10:33
in the showcase? What kind of arithmetic is that? Hi? I I
10:37
don't know. Listen, Bailey, you didn't know it at the time,
10:39
but you got yourself mixed up in a pretty sick list matter. I'd advise
10:43
you to come clean with it. You sent two packages of cards to six
10:46
eighty one that didn't come from your stock, didn't get didn't jet so well,
10:52
oh yes, yes, I stand them up. He said you'd give
10:54
me one hundred dollars. I didn't know all this. I didn't dine.
10:56
That's all we want to know. You stay here and take this fell a
10:58
statement, and I'm going back upstairs. I don't know that there's anything I
11:03
can do about it, but we'll see. Well, we didn't expect your
11:11
back, captain, come back here for the drink. No, well,
11:15
well let's have a little talk. You can skip that too. In fact,
11:18
you can skip all the baloney. What do you mean? I mean
11:20
that it'll be a long time before you do any more gambling in this town
11:22
bowl. In fact, I'm going to see what the chances are getting you
11:26
tossed in the can. Are you crazy? No? Are you up here?
11:30
Bow? It was a Spencer's own funeral when he came in here.
11:33
I'm not driving about that. I know he had it coming to him someday,
11:35
that's all okay, But I can't understand a big shot like you a
11:39
deliberately take as with a couple of stacked decks when you knew he was down
11:43
and out and trying to make a comeback. You knew that you're driving to
11:46
suicide. Maybe I've been wrong all my life about giving a guy a break
11:50
when he's gone, But I'll get that. You stay where you are.
11:54
Hello, Yeah, this is me Andy. He's been talking to who Oh
11:58
that's a guy clerk. What what he said that? He? Hey,
12:05
oh, you will pull a gun on me? Broke my arm? Hello,
12:09
Addie, come on up right away. Its Tim Horne. Tried to
12:11
pull a rod on me. Yeah, I'm okay, Well that's one on
12:16
me. I was working this thing out just backwards. It was a spencer
12:20
who bribed this a guard collector send those fixed cards to your room. But
12:22
it was you bull who found it out. And after Race had taken every
12:26
cent you had, you followed him with that vacant block and killed him with
12:28
his own gun. He shouldn't have done that. Bull Ace was a swell
12:33
guy. All these head quarters. The sergeant finished day off. I imagine
12:56
can play him at the racetrack of starch in her shade. Oh it's some
13:05
mother, don't you any surge that name? You've picked it to make the
13:07
back stretch. Yeah, I leave it and skate. You picked didn't bring
13:11
two bits of the glue back or anyone that raged in me. Come on,
13:13
hey, I'm tired. Okay, wait, I we get that is
13:15
I want to see the big grade. Man. The handicap isn't on to
13:18
a seven. You're like tend to go to eddies and get back. But
13:18
then, okay, Mike, either way, if we list the big Grays,
13:22
there'll be one son of Islands who shot the police? Do you then
13:24
with up both of these? And if I do it to be because I
13:26
walked into that door your big leather neck to make come on, hey,
13:31
this guy over there trying to track your attention. Where Oh that's done a
13:35
stone? Oh the light head said? Whoever he is, he's pussing his
13:39
neck trying to get through the crowd to see you. He's a pretty nice
13:41
guy, Mike. Let's see what he wants. They got a tip for
13:43
you? Ill if he has, it's a square one. Dolly's stone is
13:46
a square shooter. Oh, Donnie, that's on your mind? Can I
13:50
talk to you for a minute, sergeant. I don't know, Donnie,
13:52
anything important. It's about the Big Grade. I'd like to see you right
13:56
away, all right, Supposing when you beat it over to your stable Donny.
13:58
Oh, this is Sarge to no shay tread ye. Let's talk through
14:01
here. Sergeant. By the way, what's on your mind? I'd rather
14:05
not talk until we get out of this crowd. Something hits me. Worried,
14:07
win, worried to death. You know, he's don't know what to
14:11
do. Something concerning the truck. Yeah, here, I think the tour
14:15
is gonna ka. Can I'm start to do shame? Hi? All right,
14:20
Johnny up in the air, Still wait until I threw down the shade.
14:24
That's like somebody was upgutting for you. They are, that is,
14:28
they will be if High Flight wins the handicap. What do you mean?
14:31
I'm in a jam, Finn, a bad one. My horse is set
14:35
to go. She looks like a winner to me, and then these torpedo
14:37
men come in with instructions that she's not to win. Brick Randall and Tony
14:43
Madero. Oh so you've got those two hot shots on your trail. Huh,
14:46
yes, and they mean business, Sergeant. I know them. They
14:48
wouldn't hesitate to kill me if I crossed them up. Oh. Remember,
14:52
Johnny have a big shot out, a streak of yellow down his back.
14:54
When you talk back to him. Yeah, but you don't know these two
14:56
fellas. They wouldn't do the jobs. And if they've hired someone from out
15:01
of town to do it, oh, what are they gonna do about it?
15:03
I don't know. I've always run a square stable and I don't like
15:07
the idea. Tell him this jock to pull a horse, then another thing.
15:11
My work is set to go. I bet every penny I could scrape
15:15
up from this race. And I want to see my colors come true.
15:18
Why don't you doll ramble and they're the goal layer egg Because because I'm afraid
15:22
to, I guess I let Johnny. I'll let those guys bluff you.
15:26
I'll call back into the shelf. You tell them where the head is.
15:28
Go on, you think your horse is set to deliver? I have the
15:31
kid rider for all she's worth. I'll bet you William Flynn just until the
15:35
race is over. Then I'll hire someone to look at him. Surely will
15:37
Ota my sure things. I hate to come frawling this way, but I've
15:41
got a wife and two fine kids. When I stand a winner, lose
15:46
wouldn't be worth a pain made suffer. If anything happened to me. Nothing
15:48
will hapen to you, Johnny, we'll see to that. About the jockeys,
15:52
I think they got to him. I don't think so. I think
15:54
you'd tell me right away anyway. He wouldn't, dare poll. I know
15:58
that works like a she said for a wind today and nothing can stop good
16:03
boy. You stay here with him, Mic and I'll thum her over and
16:04
face a few bucks of missus Clinton's grocery money on high flight to win.

19:48
A couple of men watching the place. Good idea they might have something crazy
19:52
idea of trying to get Johnny man. I told Williams and Ryan to cover
19:53
the house every minute. What do you want me down here for it?
19:56
To give me a hand? I said too of the boys about to bring
20:00
Randing Darrow into the station. And you think they did it, And I
20:03
think they had it done, but they were away, either one of them
20:04
or to take a name at the track with a rifle. There have been
20:07
one hundred people saw of them. Yeah, how was it done? I'm
20:08
trying to shout, and had to be fairly grows to the track for accuracy.
20:11
Somebody wh would have seen him. That's just what's causing me all the
20:15
worry. I did something. You ain't kill a jockey in front of twenty
20:18
thousand people, yet nobody seen him do it. It's like running in the
20:21
book. Yeah, well, maybe we can tell something out of ramble on
20:25
the Darrow. I got a hunch though, that those two birds though yell
20:27
our heads off for a lawyer and shut up tighter than a clam Yeah,
20:33
your l send them right in hand on the Darrow or offside. I'm not
20:37

21:32
think they'd talk. Keeping in the jug. As long as you can mean
21:36
time, we'll hope that something will break. Where are you going now?
21:38
I'm a sweet at the visual theater showing the first picture of that, right,
21:42
I think maybe let's seeing it again might really fresh my mind. Not
21:45
if you were thinking Cigaret Dandy got everything? Hold that mic. Yeah all
21:59
right, captain already for those two guys, we get them in here,
22:02
we'll show you. Does that happen there? You seem pretty sure of yourself.
22:06
Oh, we are all right, Mike. Bring them in over there.
22:11
You take that chair round you sit over here. Mcdarnay, what throw
22:15
the baloney for? You haven't got a singer that wouldn't be too sure of
22:18
that. Yeah, Oh, mister attorney, come in. That's the time.
22:25
I take that chair right over there for the captain. Oh, I'm
22:29
going to show you, mister disticc Attorney and deal captain. All these two
22:32
rafts got a Chicago's son to kill Johnny' stones jockey, so High Flight wouldn't
22:36
win that braid. You're full of hot? Yeah, all right, tell
22:40
the lie off night, Okay, I'll sell us the picture machine operator and
22:48
I'm seeing the pictures of pretty tape last ride at daytime. We're showing one
22:51
of the final stretch at the rate. Can you see the horses flying down
22:53
the track? If your partial view of the crowd, and if you look
22:56
real coat in the lower right hand corner, you'll see two men with a
23:00
camera. Notice that one of the men has a black hood over the camera
23:03
and over his head. Now a slow down operator. Hey, you can't
23:07
pull it. I won't shut that guy up, Mike. I'll watched that
23:10
camera closely there. If you a little puff of white smoke, I'll watch
23:15
a man come out from under the hood and turn around and paint the camera
23:18
there. Tells the machine there, great Scott, Mike Adams, Yeah,
23:22
Mick and I read it his hotel room and found a trick camera, had
23:26
a rifle with a silentce. Rod found a right inside under the hood Mike
23:30
and men while we were searching the place which brings Rod and Mike shot him
23:32
too the summat. He died about an hour ago. Before he died,
23:36
he gave us a full statement saying that he was paid a thousand bucks for
23:38
the job. These gentlemen right here, Randall and the Darrol welcome back.
24:03
It was somewhat interesting in the first story, and as a book I was
24:06
reading recently pointed out somebody typical for the area era in terms of having the
24:12
police sympathetic with a criminal, though it was somewhat funny that they kept insisting
24:18
that he was such a marvelous guy, and pretty much there was no proof
24:22
of that by anything we learned about his life, particularly in he died as
24:27
a result of trying to cheat ten thousand dollars out of somebody at cards.
24:33
Such a great guy, but it was an interesting twist, and particularly with
24:37
the way they had been thinking of the solution. With that, we turned
24:41
to some listener comments and feedback, and we have this from James, who
24:45
says on Facebook last night, I was listening to you read comments when I
24:49
heard that someone doesn't like the loud, irritating music you play at the start
24:52
of every show. Well, I agree, Well, I appreciate your opinion.
24:57
All definitely take that into consideration. Another listener comment on a pretty interesting
25:07
note, received an email from Travis, who says, Hello, If you
25:14
recall, I made a post on the wall a while back about listening to
25:17
radio shows to better my reference level for improvisation, I thought I would update
25:22
you on how that's been going. A few nights ago, my team and
25:26
I did a whole twenty minute comediate film la esque improvisation. In short,
25:33
it brought the house down. All of my listening to the podcast really paid
25:37
off as a step as a stepped up to play the detective from the story,
25:42
who I perhaps not so cleverly introduced is true yours truly, Nicky Nickel.
25:48
My team and I are now exploring the possibility of taking a while to
25:52
only improvise stories in this style and really master it. Thank you again for
25:56
your wonderful podcast. I'm now getting my team to listen to it as well.
26:00
Up keep it up well, Thanks so much, Travis. And it's
26:03
definitely an interesting thing with improvisation. If you watch or tend improv, there
26:11
tends to be certain games that kind of everybody plays, things like blindline,
26:18
which if you saw the show who was lined? Is it? Anyway?
26:25
You basically you write, you get lines from the audience with all the players
26:30
out of the room who are going to participate in the sketch, and then
26:36
the players have to work the lines into the sketch. And there are a
26:41
bunch of standard games like that. But I really appreciate when it comes to
26:45
improv groups, those that work in their own special games, their own little
26:52
special things they do. I saw, for example, the Comedy Sports World
26:59
Championship back in two thousand and eight, went to Portland to see those and
27:06
they did a game called Randy Newman, which was very unique to the provo
27:15
comedy sports, where they would actually have someone singing a song in the style
27:18
of Randy Newman, thus the game. It's always great to have those special
27:25
touches. I appreciate that you're listening to the show, and best of luck
27:29
to you with all your improv efforts. All right, well, that will
27:33
do it for today. We'll be back on Monday with Pursuit, and then
27:40
join us back here next Saturday for another episode or two episodes of Police Headquarters.
