Part three and Part four from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Deller.
1:36
This is Anne Ward, missus Valentine. Have you heard anything about Dan
1:41
Nothing, Missus Valentine. The police are looking everywhere for him. I went
1:44
to the hospital to night and they told me you walked out, he might
1:48
die. Mister Doll, I know, Missus Valentine. Did you tell any
1:51
when I was here in New Orleans? If you mean, did I mention
1:53
it to the police. No, thank you, mister Nathan was very kind
1:56
of you, but it makes me mad that I didn't, Missus Valentine.
2:00
I know you don't want anybody to find you're related to him because of your
2:01
daughter, but I also think you could help the police in this situation.
2:06
You could help them find Dan and put him back in a hospital. Mister
2:09
caller, would you come over and talk to me? Please? Please?
2:22
Tonight and every weekday night. Bob Bailey and the Transcribed Adventures of the Man
2:27
with the Action Packed Expense Account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, Yours truly,
2:31
Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the New Britain
2:46
Mutual Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures
2:51
during my investigation of the Valentine matter. Some more expense, I believe this
2:58
is item five, yeah, four four drinks for myself? What the next
3:02
big shot of the Roaring twenties. Like Dan, Valentine carries a fifty thousand
3:06
dollars life insurance policy and walks down the street one day and gets himself shot
3:09
and refuses to disclose who fired the bullets. I have to do the worrying
3:14
for the insurance company. When he decides to leave a hospital bed minus a
3:17
pint or two of blood, I have to worry some more. I needed
3:21
those drinks. You can just say. I liked what I had seen of
3:24
the guy, and I didn't want him to walk around New Orleans bleeding to
3:27
death. In here, please, mister Dolin. The wife, who hadn't
3:37
seen or heard from him for thirteen years, looked pale and wan. It
3:39
was obvious that the strain was beginning to tell on her, although she tried
3:43
hard not to show it. Doesn't it ever cool off in New Orleans sometimes?
3:47
But I'm not here to talk about the weather. Missus Valentine. You
3:51
know that. Well, don't just stand there and give me the tears.
3:54
Then, if you've got anything to say, say it, If you know
3:59
anything that'll help let me know about it. You're perfectly right in being angry
4:02
with me, mister Dowler. I honestly don't know where Dan is. Well,
4:06
do you know why he'd get up out of a hospital bed and the
4:09
danger his life? I have an idea he might have wanted to see him,
4:12
But oh, I don't know. The two men have shot at him.
4:15
Perhaps I just don't know. We aren't getting anywhere, missus Valentine.
4:20
Look, I'm going to talk to you, frankly. Why did he come
4:24
here to live in New Orleans? Well, you live in New England with
4:29
your daughter Teresa. Obviously Dan thinks a great deal of you on her.
4:32
He's given you everything, provided for you with all of his troubles, spent
4:36
thirteen years in prison. I can imagine his thoughts about you and her while
4:41
he was in there, and yet he comes out and lives two thousand miles
4:44
away from you. He didn't want to interfere with Teresa in any way,
4:47
sure, but it seems to me he'd want to look at you, at
4:49
her. Certainly, even if it was a matter of living in Boston and
4:54
taking a bus to New Salem and standing on a street corner one day to
4:57
watch the two of you cross the street. That sounds reasonable to you if
5:01
you put it that way. Look, there's some reason he picked New Orleans,
5:04
some reason he didn't give himself the little gratification of just looking at you
5:09
and Teresa. Why why here? I'm sure I don't know. And why
5:14
is he running around now? I can't answer that either, but it must
5:15
have something to do with you and your daughter. Obviously you're the only ones
5:19
he ever cared about. Well, I honestly don't know. Well, and
5:28
I can't help you, and I can't help myself or him. You mentioned
5:32
his having a reason to be in New Orleans. Maybe what There was a
5:39
man named Webster, Conrad Webster. He was a member of the Illinois Bar
5:43
once in those days, did a great deal of work for Dan and friends
5:47
of Dan. I think he lived here. Wait a minute, I've seen
5:50
that name. Yeah, on copies of the insurance policy. A man named
5:55
Webster had the power of attorney. He bought the insurance. There's a trust
5:59
in there for your Yes, Conrad Webster was an old friend of Dan's.
6:02
I don't even know whether he's alive now or not. Drank a great deal
6:05
later on. I think he lived here. Was he the kind of friend
6:10
Dan would go to if he needed help? Yes? I think so.
6:13
All right, what are you going to do. It's just something to look
6:15
into. I'll try and find Webster and maybe I can find your husband.
6:18
Thank you for coming by. I needed somebody to talk to. What I
6:25
hope he stays alive, Missus Valentine Adam seven sixteen dollars. The money had
6:32
caused me to find out the location of Conrad Webster. I started at his
6:36
last known address, followed a series of bars, and finally got information from
6:40
a bartender that led me to the crumbier half of a decaying duplex on Gentilly
6:44
Street. Everything was quiet for Gentilly Street. Huh, young man, the
6:56
drug store delivers what I need most. The telegraph office would I dreadmost?
7:00
Obviously, you represent neither. Therefore you are no concern of mine. Wait
7:03
a minute, are you, mister Webster? Conrad Webster? I am he,
7:08
and I am drunk in disheveled, and it is three o'clock kill the
7:12
morning. I'd like to talk with you. May I come in? You
7:14
may not. This isn't exactly the hour for making calls. But I did
7:17
stop by and pick up something to take the edge off. Huh, it's
7:21
bonded inside inside. Now then you are going to apologize? Here you are
7:30
mister Webster, then as long as this lasts, you will last, all
7:49
right. I'm looking for a man. The entire world is looking for a
7:56
man, just one man, a man they blind the presume will break off
8:01
these shackles that bind us and lead us faults into eternal Just yeah, yeah,
8:05
sure, but that's not an ironic anticipation. I'm talking about Dan Valentine.
8:13
You are, yes, I'm a friend of his. No, oh,
8:18
you don't come from that place. The pallor is not with you,
8:22
you lie. I didn't say I was in jail with it? And where
8:24
else would he have made friends these long years. He's out of prison now,
8:28
he's been out for three months, and I'm aware of that. Did
8:31
you know he was shot at yesterday? Three hours ago? He left his
8:35
hospital bed. I thought he might have come to you. Is he here?
8:39
Here? Is not? You know where he is? I do not,
8:41
mister Webster. If Valentine isn't back in the hospital, pretty soon,
8:43
he'll die. Why is the phenomenon of death so persistently alarming? So he
8:52
will die. They all die usually from a bullet, and that's what's going
8:58
to happen to him. Two bullets. He stopped yesterday. Do you understand
9:01
acutely, acutely, you've impressed me with the urgency of his situation. But
9:07
Dan Valentine is not here, nor has he been here, nor has he
9:11
contacted me, nor do I know where to contact him. All right,
9:16
mister Webster, all right, I guess I believe him. Your concern for
9:24
him is a distressing irritation. What is the reason for it. I'm an
9:30
insurance investigator and it's my job to keep him alive. More than that,
9:35
I like him. I told you I was his friend. I think he
9:37
deserves to live. You his friends, No, you are too young to
9:43
be his friend. His friends, for the most part, are gone like
9:48
the long years, like Hamburg Hats and the Charleston and Lime Rickey. The
9:56
ones who are left are broken. And I who faded with old faces,
10:03
faces like mine, like his, And we should be gone too. Another
10:11
age is here, m This is my sadness, as for yours. Dan
10:20
Valentine should never have lived in that age or this age. He was meant
10:24
to be an explorer, a pioneer who conquered a willerness, not a racketeer
10:31
who conquered a west side. Are you sure you're his friend, mister Webster.
10:37
I once thought so, he once thought so. Now I haven't strength
10:46
enough to be anyone's friend. What's your name, Johnnie Doller? Good night,
10:54
mister Doller. Look in Conrad Webster's eyes held the same sort of sadness
11:03
I had seen in Valentine's eyes, but they were different too, They held
11:07
a weakness. The strong, sad eyes were somewhere else in the city,
11:11
walking alone, probably looking for two gunmen, and the lifeblood was slowly draining
11:16
from the body that sparked them. I went back to my hotel and tried
11:22
to sleep, but sleep wouldn't come. I was still rolling and tossing at
11:24
seven thirty the next morning, when orange juiced coffee in the morning paper came
11:28
up. A nationwide sinda get had picked up the new development and the Valentine
11:31
shooting and gone to work on it. Among other names they mentioned and giving
11:35
a resume of Valentine's career, where his wife and daughter living in New Salem
11:39
under the name of Ward. Hello, this is Johnny Dollar. I just
11:43
read the morning paper, missus Valentine. Oh yes, I'm sorry it broke
11:46
for you this way. That's very kind of you to say, so,
11:50
maybe it's for the better. Anyhow. For years I've been wanting to tell
11:52
Teresa who her father is, what he's like. I'm going to call her
11:56
later today, tell her where I am, explaining why I'm here. I
12:01
think she can take it. You're doing pretty well yourself. Thanks again,
12:07
any word you No? No, we still can't find him, mister Webster.
12:11
Did you find him? Yes? He wasn't much help. The New
12:15
England paper said that Missus Ward was out of town. Sooner or later they'll
12:20
find out what town Missus Ward is in. I'm afraid, well, maybe
12:22
you'd better get another hotel, use another name. Yes, all right,
12:26
I'll wait to hear from you, mister Donner. Yes, thank you.
12:33
I put in another call to inspect a Debacca and asked him about developments.
12:37
Valentine was still unlocated. They were covering drug stores and doctors offices where he
12:43
might seek assistance the two unidentified men who had shot him. We're still unidentified.
12:48
The police weren't able to dig up any more witnesses or get any line
12:52
on the car. By four in the afternoon, Missus Valentine had still not
12:54
called me to report a new address. I got worried and went over to
12:58
the Roosevelt to see what was I was surprised to see Inspector Debacca in the
13:01
lobby talking to the bell Captain Rights and remember anything else? Called me here,
13:05
Yes, sir, right, sure will hi hi dollah? Well you
13:09
want to talk first? You want me to all right, I'll talk first.
13:15
Missus Valentine's been staying here under the name of Anne Ward. You knew
13:18
that. Yeah, why didn't you say anything to me? She asked me
13:22
not to. It doesn't make any difference now. Anyhow. That boy over
13:24
there called us a little while ago. He said that Dan Valentine came in
13:28
here this afternoon, went upstairs, came back down fifteen minutes later with Missus
13:33
Valentine. They both left together. Yeah, he must have seen the story
13:35
in this morning's paper and guess she was in town. That's the way I
13:39
see it. Well, we're right back where we started from, and I'm
13:43
about sick of it. We're a little better off. Two people are easier
13:46
to find than one. We found them all right at seven o'clock that night,
13:54
and it was easy. Three squad cars were already drawn up in front
14:00
of the little hotel, and I noticed with a sinking heart that a hearse
14:03
was there also, Dan Valentine and his wife were dead. Johnny Deller,
14:26
What is all this? Johnny who? Right Vickers? New Britain Mutual.
14:30
What happened to Valentine? He was gunned down last night going into a hotel
14:33
with his wife. No, the police here turning the city upside down,
14:37
trying to get a line on two unidentified gunmen. Who couldn't you keep him
14:39
alive? I couldn't even find him. Well, this is no time to
14:43
be yelling at each other. I just left his daughter. She filed claim
14:46
already through that lawyer Webster. No. No, she didn't even know anything
14:50
about him until the papers broke the story. Well, I I'm sorry I
14:54
got annoyed for a second. Do what you can, Johnny, don't wonderful
14:58
report Roy Sure expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the New Britain
15:13
Mutual Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is a further accounting of
15:16
expenditures during my investigation of the Valentine matter. ADEM nine seven dollars for dinner.
15:24
I had it with Inspector Charles Debacca, New Orleans Police. He was
15:28
a haggard, tired looking man. About that time all of us were you
15:33
want some more coffee? No, no thanks. Two men both bought six
15:37
feet when dark suits and hats, medium to slat bills, one possibly thirty
15:41
five, the other possibly forty. A lot about ties up for the description
15:45
of the two men who plugged Valentine earlier and earned him a place in the
15:48
hospital. Yeah, we got more of a chance this time. It'll be
15:52
some other witnesses. Somebody asked to tell us what kind of a car their
15:56
head and what direction they went. One thing, they weren't using silences anymore.
16:00
No, but they did a professional job. I think Valentine knew him,
16:03
climbed out of that hospital, bid to go out looking for him.
16:06
Sounds reasonable. How do you figure the rest of an inspector? Valentine saw
16:11
the newspaper story and knew his wife was in town. He went over,
16:14
got it and I'd take it. They were going to check into a new
16:17
hotel when their friends showed up. She just happened to get in the way.
16:21
Why did anybody want to shoot her? Why would anybody want to shoot
16:23
him? Well, because no matter what he was now or how he was
16:27
playing it, he still lived pretty hard way back then. Man who's lived
16:32
the kind of life he has and done the things he is is bound to
16:34
make a few enemies to remember. No, I think it has something to
16:37
do with his family. I agree with you that Valentine probably made enemies all
16:41
over, but he wasn't the kind of man to get excited about any of
16:45
those kind of people. He pretty well knew how to take care of himself
16:48
and handle trouble. That's why he was out looking for you. You sound
16:52
pretty certain. It seems to me that if Valentine had been expecting trouble from
16:56
some of the old timers, he'd have carried a gun. You got a
16:59
point, But then again, he was pretty gentled up. You know how
17:03
he spent most of his time painting. Huh at the house he brought out
17:07
in Jefferson Parish has covered with pictures he's done since he's been out. Oils
17:11
pretty good too. When he wasn't painting that, he was listening to music.
17:15
You'd hardly think of Danny Valentine taking up the arts or living well.
17:22
I'm gonna make a call and get busy, yeah, inspector, Yeah,
17:26
any objection to me going out and looking around that house. It's your privilege.
17:30
Personally, I'm gonna look around town for a couple of gunmen, anyone
17:33
out there now? His cook name's Jacchino. Nice woman. Okay, I'll
17:38
keep in touch with the inspecting him. Do that a dollar now on.
17:42
You forgot to tell me you looked up the old family lawyer, Conrad Webster
17:47
the other night. I was trying to find Valentine the same as you.
17:52
Well, if you happen to run into Webster again, you tell him to
17:53
drop in and see me him. Huh, he's missing. I didn't know
18:00
what to say to that, so I left him standing there and went back
18:03
to my hotel and shaved, changed clothes and tried to go over the whole
18:06
thing in my mind. I did phone into the police station and find out
18:10
that the slugs that had killed Valentine and his wife were from an Italian make
18:12
pistol around barrel thirty seven point five caliber. So far untraced expense account item
18:21
ten cost of cab from my hotel to Danny Valentine's house in Jefferson Parish.
18:30
Yes, how do you do? Are you missus Iccino? Yes? Who
18:33
are you? Please? My name is Johnny Dollar. Missus Iccino, I'm
18:37
from New Britain Mutual insurance Company. I'd like to talk to you, if
18:38
I may, about mister Valentine. Yes, not right now, mister of
18:45
the time. Well if you prefer it that way, missus Iucchino. But
18:48
it's been a hard day here. I mean mister Valentine's death and his wife
18:52
been killed with him, all of these policemen in and out of you,
18:56
and no missus Warden on Miss Warden his daughter, Yes, she's a here,
19:00
arrived two hours ago. She stay here, I see her. You
19:06
come tomorrow, mister Dolla, Please tomorrow, miss it Yaccino, Yes,
19:10
miss the ward Who is it, mister Dolla, he's from the insurance company,
19:14
insurance company. Yes, I'd like to talk to us Leccino. Theresa
19:21
ward stood at the base of the iron grills stairway, tall and dark eyed,
19:26
and I saw that, like her mother, she had a quiet intensity
19:27
about her face that made it beautiful at the same time ageless. She smiled
19:33
politely at me. I can only stand there without speaking for a long moment,
19:38
looking at her. Then missus Iaccino excused herself and we were alone.
19:44
I wanted to talk to someone who won't be able to give me a little
19:47
more information about all this. It's oh quite new to me. I'll tell
19:49
you what I can, Miss ward my name is Valentine. Isn't it really
19:55
Valentine? Yes? It is. Well, I suppose we correct that,
19:59
mister right now. Sure there's nothing wrong with Valentine. From what a mister
20:03
Vickers from the insurance office in Hartford told me, I'm to be quite well
20:07
off because of this man that was murdered. You mean Dan Valentine, Yes,
20:11
Dan Valentine. Tell me he was my father who told her Oh reporters
20:18
at home and your insurance company. Mother told me my name was Ward.
20:25
Poor thing must have been difficult for her over the years keeping the secret from
20:30
me. Yes, she told me she thought it was the best thing.
20:33
She well, the same as he did tear me about my father. Was
20:38
he a bad man? Oh? As good or as bad as the vast
20:42
that act made people. I only met him a couple of times. Awakened
20:48
one morning and discover that you're the only daughter of a famous racketeer who's been
20:52
murdered. Look, miss Warden, if he had anything to do with the
20:56
way you turned out, with what you seemed to possess within yourself. I'd
21:00
say offhand that whatever he was or did he thought of you, are you
21:07
flattering me? I'm not trying to. You seem like a very nice person,
21:11
and so do you, mister dollar. Will you tell me all about
21:15
this? Please? Well, let's see. You're twenty one, isn't that
21:18
right? Yes, Just about fifteen years ago or so, your father was
21:22
on trial for income tax evation. Just before he was convicted, he set
21:27
up a trust fund with my insurance company to provide for you. It's been
21:30
paying money for your support and education ever since. According to the terms of
21:36
the trust, all of the money becomes yours. Now that your mother and
21:38
father are dead, it comes to well of a fifty thousand dollars. That's
21:45
all there is to it. I suppose I'm grateful to him. I suppose
21:51
I should be grateful. I can't say that I'm particularly sorry about his death
21:55
any more than I would be any other human being died violently. Somewhere about
22:02
mother's dead. I missed her very much already. She was holding up pretty
22:12
well until that point. Then she let go. I held her in my
22:18
arms and I talked to her. I told her what I knew of her
22:21
father's life and death. She told me how she'd been reared so far removed
22:26
from anything that might have connected her in the least way with a Valentine name.
22:30
Altogether, it was a revealing conversation for both of us. Missus Iaccino
22:33
brought us some food and wine. How long would you be in New Orleans
22:37
until all of this is straightened out? I mean, until they find out
22:41
who killed my mother and father? Yes? How about you? Oh?
22:45
I really don't know. After the funerals, suppose I'll go back. But
22:52
I wanted to see him, to see what he looked like, what kind
22:53
of life he led. He was just an ordinary man, wasn't he.
23:00
Have you seen these pictures before? Nor? This is my first time in
23:03
the house. Looked like Italian landscapes to me, very good. Must have
23:10
been something he had with mother. She was from Italy. May I ask
23:15
you something? Yes? How do you feel about him? Now? Is
23:22
this for your report? For myself? Since you've been here these last two
23:27
hours, I begun to think of him for what he was, my father.
23:33
I mean, I'd like to know why he was killed and who did
23:37
it? Will I see you again? I hope so, Terry, Yes,
23:45
I hope so very much, So do I Johnny. I left her
23:56
at the door that night with a warm sensation inside of me, something I
24:00
certainly hadn't expected in the business at hand. The next morning, I was
24:10
back at the house talking to missus Hichino. She gave me all the information
24:14
she could remember about Valentine's activities, all of it accurate, but lacking in
24:18
any possible clue as to the identity of the two men who had killed him
24:22
and his wife. I had breakfast with Terry there and helped it with funeral
24:26
arrangements. Then I spent a solid twelve hours with inspected Tobacca, who had
24:30
still not located or identified the two mysterious men. However, there were other
24:34
developments. There may be something Johnny Conrad Webster has been found huh up by
24:41
Lake constrain just identified him who shot to death with a thirty seven point five
24:45
Italian gun. Yep, just like the one that killed Dan Valentine in his

way. It later developed that the slugs taken from Webster's body, when compared
24:57
with those that had killed Valentines, were fired from the same weapon. The
25:02
case took on proportions. Every available bit of information regarding the two X big
25:07
Shots of the twenties was located, red and re read at men activity in
25:11
cities like Saint Louis, Chicago, Detroit, and New York, but no
25:15
new information as to the identity of the killers. I went back to the
25:18
house. Johnny, here, here, here, what is this? You're
25:23
shaking? Sure, I suppose I'm being a terrible fool. Amount it all,
25:30
Johnny. But they've been helping me all day, cheap little things.
25:33
Newspaper syndicate wants me to write my exclusive story as the shadow daughter of Dan
25:37
Valentine, fairy princess of a racket. Take it easy, Take it easy,
25:42
even, I would produced, Oh, Johnny, I shouldn't have come
25:48
here at all. And what would I have done, Terry, what would
25:52
I have done? Make yourself a drink, Johnny, I'll go put on
25:56
a new faith. It had become apparent to me in the short time I'd
26:06
known her that she'd grown to love the memory of her father, also that
26:10
the pressure of all that had happened was beginning to take its toll on her.
26:14
We were walking down the gravel path away from the house. She was
26:17
quieted down. I suppose I was thinking how nice it would be to kiss
26:21
her. I twisted trying for the gun inside my pocket, but there was
26:25
nobody to shoot at. The two men who had fired the guns were already
26:27
out of sight. I was alone with Terry Valentine, who was hanging on
26:32
the gate. I caught her before she fell. I mean, I mean
26:42
she was dead before I could answer. There will be the final intriguing episode
27:03
in our story of the Valentine matter tomorrow. Tomorrow, a sober lesson and
27:07
how long, how far and how deadly one man's hate can be? Join
27:12
us, won't you? Yours Truly? Johnny Doller? Yours Truly? Johnny
27:27
Deller starring Bob Bailey is transcribed in Hollywood. Written by John Dawson. It
27:33
is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Be sure to join us tomorrow night
27:37
at same time and station for another exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Duller,
27:41
Roy Rowan speaking welcome back. Well, let me say this. Betty lu
28:52
Gerson as the daughter in this performance maybe one of the best supporting radio performances
29:02
we hear on these Johnny Dollar serials because basically she comes into this program after
29:11
three parts of past and comes in in part for us only there for that
29:18
fourth part, but in that part, she really I think, just steals
29:26
the show. Great performance in terms of capturing the emotion and kind of the
29:36
tragedy of this character. I thought it was just incredible, just an absolutely
29:41
solid performance setting up the climax of the case on Friday. So be sure
29:52
and listen to us then for the conclusion of this wonderful case. All well,
30:00
we turn now to our stats. I promised to talk to you a
30:04
little bit about who in the world and who in the United States is listening.
30:11
It won't surprise most listeners define that our audience is about eighty percent and
30:21
eight percent from Canada, so that right there makes up about ninety percent of
30:27
our audience and the rest of the audience a total downloads last month. Unique
30:36
downloads were four hundred and one thousand, six hundred and fifty five during the
30:40
month of March, and people from one hundred and thirty two countries tuned in
30:48
from to one episode or another. Rounding out the top countries, we had
30:57
the UK, Germany, Australia, the Russian Federation, China, France,
31:07
Japan, and Mexico number ten. So a very wide audience in the world,
31:22
and in terms of what state has our most listeners in one way,
31:26
it's not a surprise California is the top, but that's kind of to be
31:32
expected because California is the largest state in the United States. Number two is
31:37
a bit of surprise. Our second highest number of listeners of Virginia, thirty
31:45
thousand downloads in Virginia, and then after that Texas in New York close behind.
31:53
Washington state also on the list, and really most of our downloads spread
32:00
pretty well throughout the country. There were a few states. There were very
32:04
few states I found where we didn't have at least a thousand total downloads.
32:09
Hawaii just missed it at nine fifty five. Vermont, I think I'm elite,
32:15
is the state I am least popular in two hundred and thirteen downloads South
32:22
Dakota eight eleven, North Dakota seven fifty nine, and Wyoming five forty five,
32:27
But most other states at least a thousand downloads or more. Oh in
32:31
Mississippi eight thirty nine. So if you have friends in those states or friends
32:37
anywhere, I let them know about the show, and I'll talk a little
32:42
bit about platforms. What are people using as they listen to the program tomorrow.
32:46
Now we do have a listener comment a review of our Eye our Apple
32:53
app, great app and the sound quality is excellent. Keep them coming well,
33:00
