8:07
this guy. He's got the whole section of the North Side locking their doors
8:11
at six o'clock every time a housewife. Here's a straight cat. We get
8:13
a call man for reason. Four weeks all with the same momo. I
8:20
got the whole neighborhood staked out, five cars and a half a dozen men
8:22
on the streets. FUNNYO, a guy'll stick to one neighborhood, like the
8:26
pretty wealthy neighborhood. Yeah, but he's certainly no dummy professional all the way.
8:31
You think a guy like that to keep moving. More he works that
8:35
area, the more chance he takes getting picked up. Do you think he'd
8:37
figure on that. That's why we've got mo files. A lot of guys
8:41
work like that. Got a good psychologist to tell you about it. He
8:45
scared the wits out of the Martin woman, didn't he Yeah, that's the
8:48
first Slippy's main probably thought she was out. He's never gone into a place
8:52
with anybody in her perform Maybe just getting brave, I don't think so.
8:56
Once she screamed, he ran. He had a gun, and according to
9:01
missus Martin, do you know how people get and something like that happens?
9:05
Bergler sneaks in and surprises him when they tell your lady was carrying a machine
9:07
gun. There were two witnesses. Chances that they both have different stories.
9:13
Oh O, boy just robbed another house in the same area. There's ashy,
9:33
Yeah, all right, when'd you get here? A couple of minutes?
9:37
The woman what was the house? Came home about fifteen minutes ago.
9:41
Put in the call. Talk to him. Yeah, got a little history.
9:43
Crockets around back. Guy got in through the bedroom window. He got
9:46
much quite a bit. According to the woman named Strickland, her husband's out
9:50
of town. Oh, I don't know how we did it. We got
9:56
this neighborhood covered like a blanket. And this guy's smart. He's proved it
9:58
fire times now. Yes, Oh, come in, thank you, Missus
10:05
Strickland. This is Lieutenant Guthrie and Sargeant Cargo. But this is certainly something
10:11
new in my life. I've never been robbed before. I was frightened for
10:15
the moment when I saw the house was such a mess and that things were
10:18
missing. Oh, I won't you sit down. Did he take much of
10:22
Missus stricken Well, quite a good I don't know for sure, but I'll
10:24
be able to tell better after I make a complete check. I think I
10:28
saw him, Yes, the burglar. I think I saw him run around
10:33
the house. We get a good look at him. Well, it happened
10:35
so fast. Just startled me. And the only thing I could think about
10:41
when my antiques. We've had a number of burglaries in this neighborhood. But
10:45
then you didn't see him very well. I don't think I could identify him
10:48
if I saw him again. It happened too fast and very frankly, I
10:54
was too frightened crocodile back nowadays. Yeah, but they want no lad boy's
10:58
coming on. Put in a call right away. Could I make you some
11:01
coffee or something? Well, thank you, I'm sorry, but we're able
11:05
to be here for a little while. This might take some time. Oh
11:07
that's quite all right. Anything I can do. Don't touch anything until we're
11:11
done. We want to check the prince. Well, I'm afraid I've all
11:13
ready. Well that's all right, but try to leave everything just as it
11:16
is now. All right, I'll go put a pot of coffee on,
11:20
Thank you very much. Nice. Yeah, if everybody was at co operating,
11:26
well, let's go out and see if crockets turned up anything. Pete,
11:30
call and make a report with all right, dick, Yeah over here,
11:43
all right? I find anything? Oh no, not much anyway,
11:48
missus Strickland said. He went over to the fence. I went out in
11:50
the alley. Come, here's mostly grab over went wrong the fence here?
11:58
See hero friend uh huh, not a very good one, but it might
12:03
be his. And you get to allow him to make a cast. I
12:07
said about all I've been able to turn up, and this guy is beginning
12:09
to be a nuisance. Yeah, And We're beginning to look a little silly.
12:13
Whole area is taked out, and he pulls one off right under our
12:15
noses. Maybe he likes it that way, Maybe he hates cops. Well,
12:18
rue, thing's for sure. He's not making himself any friends. Come
12:22
on, what time has it been? More than thirty? Got a long
12:41
time ago? Who's got the duty at three? Quite an asher? You
12:46
know they should put in more street lights around here. Yeah, funny if
12:52
he moved to another neighborhood. Phantom burglar strikes while the police are looking for
12:56
him ten miles away. Swell, and it's been three days. He's had
13:00
enough. Maybe he moved on. They win him. A guy over there,
13:03
Well, let's check him. Hey, yeah, come here, that's

18:41
be all right, who's gonna cigarette? Yeah? Bad rule. It's there

18:56
Would it be all right? You got this one? Yeah, pretty
19:00
for lating now, I'm not gonna tell much for that. It'll be okay,
19:07

19:17

19:41
I just got back from there. Game feels rotten. How long is
19:45
he end for East? A month? Actually, he's pretty lucky on.
19:48
Yeah, well we've come up with exactly nothing. Still checking my heel Frankfurt.
19:53
It doesn't look good. Stricking a woman reported losing about five thousand clothes
19:57
and jewel written whenever the area good, but didn't turn up a thing.
20:00
This guy's really smart. He's clever, and when he use that gun he
20:03
stopped being smart. Wanting ash. Yeah, I saw him a few minutes
20:11
ago. It's going to be all right. Why don't we get up a
20:12
collection and buy him a pretty Nursey's and get el every point. Yeah,
20:18
I can't tell a thing from that slug too, flat nerve. Okay,
20:22
this is the way we set it up. We're pretty sure our boys hurt.
20:25
There was blood in the back of the alley. I want every small
20:27
hospital, emergency station, drug store, any place that he might go to
20:30
get aid checked, particularly in that area. But that's a lot of territory.
20:34
If he's hurt bad enough, he's going to go for help. I
20:37
don't care how long it takes, so how much territory we've got to cover.
20:40
But I want to check he's smart enough to know what doctor would turn
20:42
in gunshot wound report and maybe detain him so he might try to take care
20:47
of it himself. How about some of the men we got on father out
20:49
of practice, right? I want every questionable doctor we've got a record unchecked.
20:55
I don't think he'll try any more jobs, even if he isn't hurt
20:57
badly. But we know he hasn't try to unload any of his takes,
21:00
so he just might try to do it. Now, get some money and
21:03
skip. We've got all the sources covered and distributed circulars. Every hot shop
21:07
in the city. Now, that's what I want. Hospitals, drug stores,
21:08
pharmacies, pawn shops, all our potential connections checked and double checked.
21:12
I want this guy. I really want him go. Think we got something.
21:21
Doctor Brennan overr On Temple called in about a man he just treated for
21:22
a gun shot. Right, I'll meet you down there in the garage.
21:26
Let's go, boys, all right, drive up, come in. Doctor
21:51
Brennan's right. I'm got ThReD this assage and Klein. I tried to get
21:53
him to stay. I called you as soon as he went. What you
21:56
look like? Well, who's about my se? Maybe a few inches taller,
22:00
but not much more. He was dark, and I'd say about thirty
22:06
or a little less. Wasn't an old man, I guess he weighed around,
22:10
Oh not as much as I do. Maybe one hundred and fifty or
22:12
fifty five or what? Was he wearing a dark suit? An old one.
22:15
Funny thing too, he had on tennis shoes, you know, the
22:18
low one. First thing I noticed about his clothes, wearing a suit with
22:22
white tennis shoes. How bad was he hurt? The wound wasn't too serious.
22:26
He'd lost some blood. Buller went through the arm about eight inches up
22:29
from the wrist, missed a bone. He said he'd been cleaning his gun.
22:33
I told him I'd have to make out a report, and he didn't
22:34
sing the mind. He gave me his name in the dress and started to
22:37
leave. That's when I thought something was wrong. I asked him to stay
22:41
until I found him the report, and he got kind of nasty, so
22:45
I didn't press it. He looked like he could have well, he kind
22:48
of scared me, so I let him go and called you when you're done,
22:52
find I gave him a prescription. Prescription, Yes, I told him
22:56
to come back tomorrow to have the arm treated, but he said he'd be
22:59
out of a city. So I gave him a prescription. What was it
23:02
for him? Oh? Your mysel ointment? That could do it? How
23:04
long ago to the leed? About twenty minutes? I see. Look,
23:08
there's only one all night pharmacy opened this early, isn't there. Yes,
23:11
Dickson's eight o'clock would probably be the earliest on the rest. Maybe there's some
23:15
open earlier, but I wouldn't know. Well, thank you, duntin.
23:18
We'd like you to look at our mug file of it on mine. All
23:19
right? What address did he give you? I wrote it down, all
23:23
right, John Smith nine nine sixty seven South Selby. That's probably fine.
23:30
Well, we'll check on it anyway, if you had that prescription filled,
23:33
we'll get him. He isn't any of these. Well here's another batch,
23:51
Doctor Brian Perish is in our fair city. I hate to admit it,
23:56
but you're right. And then you're looking for a shot a policeman. Hope,
24:00
I finding nothing and just to this slight case of the stigma to him,
24:07

What's he doing? Now? Look if he comes back. Oh he
26:07
will. I purposely told him it'll be twenty minutes, so i'd have time
26:11
to call you and we'd have time to get all right. Then when he
26:12
comes back, we'll take him as quietly as possible. Then he's not here,
26:18
Oh no, yeah, but he should be back to pick up his
26:19
prescription. This is mister Sims in the day minute, allright, and this
26:22
side you're crying. He'll be with me. Won't be any shooting again,
26:26
I don't think so much the sense. Just go about your business and don't
26:29
mention this to any of the other employees. All right, Oh, take
26:32
me over and introduce me to your prescriptionist. So it's twenty minutes, Ben,
26:51
Yeah, I think you got scared. Yeah, no, telling that
26:53
manager might have fitted. He's not very convincing. Well, if he comes
26:59
in, he won't get buildings covered all the way around. I hope he
27:02
gets him. Well, I just cannut understanding what missus Simpson. He said
27:07
he'd be back in twenty minutes. We're Were you nervous at home? Nervous?
27:11
Did you do anything that might have frightened all No. Scriptures came over
27:15
to me and told me that the man ordered the prescription, and I called
27:18
you immediately. I told the prescriptions to tell him the prescription wouldn't be ready
27:22
for twenty minutes. That's all. Why absolutely, you didn't talk to the
27:26
man yourself. Oh no, certainly not. Why he would have been suspicious?
27:30
Well we'll just keep waiting, but in here for over an hour,
27:47
and why don't you go get some coffee you can watch and doing. Yeah,
27:49
it's not a bad idea. This could go on all day. I'm
27:52
going ahead. Wait a minute, huh, just came in. Here's coming
27:55
as foe and I stayed us, all right? And when he's carrying out
27:59
him the swing, he could have a gun in it. How do we
28:02
do it? Walk up and take him? He starts swinging a I'm stopping.
28:11
Stand right when you're Davis? What's going on? For the police or
28:15
what do you want? Let's have a look at that swing. Don't move
28:18
it. I'm over a mussing. I don't want to scare the people in
28:21
the stone. What is the all right? And I turn around and walk
28:23
with us out of the store, and don't make any trouble. I mean,
28:26
I want to know what this is all about. Under arrest, I
28:27
turn around and start walking under arrest for what grand theft and attempted murdering?
28:34
You're crazy? All right, hold it, look, I'm gonna be laid
28:40
for work. I'm working on office. Pretty act. We're always carrying a
28:47
gun to work. Okay, okay, I won't get any trouble. I
28:51
start walking guys down the store. I got a prescription back in there.
28:55
You're paid for him. Yeah, that's super bad, remember, friends.

The lineup starring Bill Johnstone as Lieutenant Ben Guffery with Jack Moyle the Sergeant Pete
30:10
Carter was written by Blake Edwards with music by Eddie Dunsteader. Featured in tonight's
30:15
cast were High Everback, Virginia, Greg Bill Conrad, Stacey Harris, Harry
30:19
Lang, Peter Leed, Gene Bates, John Stephenson, and Howard mcneer.
30:25
The lineup was transcribed in Hollywood by Himide de Vayer. Next week, at
30:32
the same time, you'll hear Jay Carrol Nash once again starring as the lovable
30:36
Luigi. The number of Life with Luigi returns next week at this time over
30:40
the CBS Radio network. Welcome back. Well, interesting announcement for Love with
30:59
Luigia that show, but kind of a subtle way of saying that the lineup
31:11
wouldn't be back the next week. The lineup was not done. It went
31:15
on a brief hiatus of about a month, which I guess would give tom
31:19
for the wounded officer to recover. So there'll be a Gavinheim between this week's
31:23
episode and next week's, but no lost episodes. A couple of weeks back,
31:29
I got a question from Mark Meenie who said I was wondering if Blake
31:33
Edwards that wrote the show is the same Blake Edwards who directed the movie ten.
31:40
And the answer is yes. I think I may have addressed it very
31:44
briefly a week or so ago, but I don't think very well. Blake
31:48
Edwards really got to start in radio. Probably what he was most famous foreign
31:55
radio was he was the writer of the early Richard Diamond series programs. And
32:05
of course he went on to a lot of bigger things in cinema, but
32:10
truth be told, it all started with radio and Richard Niman, and a
32:15
lot of those scripts became some of the more lighthearted Johnny Diller series. You
32:22
see the type of humor that appealed to him and played into things like the
32:27
Pink Panther movies. Of course, in the lineup we see something that's a
32:30
little bit more serious. And for most of his life Edwards wasn't even aware
32:36
of an old time radio going on, and people still continuing to have interest
32:42
in the series. I read somebody was working with him in two thousand and
32:50
eight, two thousand and nine, just before he died, and he was
32:57
just you know, and told him that he had just been listening to some
33:01
Richard Diamond, and he was just absolutely floored by that that people were listening
33:07
to and enjoying the material he had put out nearly sixty years previously. All
33:15
right, well, that will wrap it up for now. We'll be back
33:17
on Monday with a new Johnny Dollar Cereal and join us back here next Saturday
33:23
for another episode of the Lineup. Send your comments to Box thirteen at Great
