Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, The Shady Lane Matter, Part three and Part four
1:22
from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dollar, mister Dollar. Where this
1:32
is Jed Bremler. Oh, hi, you Constable Reckon. I got the
1:34
wrong number. I was calling Shady Lane Cafe. Now you've got it.
1:38
I'm sitting right here at the counter, but where's Milly, missus Dollar.
1:42
She's busy crying at the moments. I'm waiting for her to get through and
1:46
hoping she'll confess to murder. Now you hadn't aught gone and made her cry
1:49
that way. Millie is a fine girl. That's the trouble with this whole
1:53
case. According to you, everybody in this township is fine people, all
1:57
of them. Ellen Bates was a fine woman too, and now she's dead,
2:00
and one of these fine people killed her. I'm going to find out
2:04
which one, mister Bramler, and I'm going to tag him for it.

With your helper without it tonight and every weekday night, Bob Bailey in the

Insurance Investigator, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar,
2:39
Location, Shady Lane, Vermont to the home office Star Mutual Insurance Company,
2:44
Hartford, Connecticut. Assignment the Shady Lane matter expense account continued Item seven A
2:53
dollar and forty cents one pot road special at the Shady Lane Cafe. While
2:57
waitress Milly Wells dried her tears and repaired her I thought over what she'd said,
3:02
what I'd taken for a confession, and tried to fit it in with
3:06
the other facts in the case, what few facts there were. A young
3:09
farm wife, a semi invalid named Ellen Bates, had been shot to death
3:14
while sitting at the front window of her house. The weapon was an old
3:16
fashioned squirrel rifle, a type of gun on by half the people in the
3:20
township. Ellen Bates had no known enemies. Her husband, beneficiary of a
3:25
ten thousand dollars insurance policy on his wife's life, had been accused by a
3:29
spiteful neighbor of carrying on with pretty waitress Milly Wells. It's a line,
3:34
mister Dollar. Anyone who says Ben and I were seeing each other, even
3:38
thought of such a thing before his wife's death, is a mean, vicious
3:40
line. All right, Take it easy, now, take it easy.
3:43
There's no point in getting yourself all worked up and starting to cry again.
3:46
Ben's a fine man, straight and decent, and it makes me boiled.
3:50
I have some low sneaking gossip try to smear his reputation without reason. It
3:54
reflects on your reputation a little too. I don't care about me. I
3:59
told you what I've been through. I'm used to it. Do you ever
4:00
get used to something like that? No? No, not really. Murder
4:06
charge isn't an easy thing to forget. Dream about it nights prison, the
4:12
courtroom, the trial, the things they said about. But you were acquitted.
4:15
Finally I was acquitted and I was innocent. Just being tried for murder
4:20
brands a person for life. What worthy details of the case. First,
4:26
let me tell you about Ben. You haven't met him yet, mister Dollar.
4:29
You don't know him, and I know the line you're thinking along.
4:32
It's the way things point rely, then things point wrong. That's all.
4:38
Maybe go on. Well, he's been coming in here for the last six
4:44
months, not often, just just every once in a while, just to
4:47
eat. Does Ben no use stood trial on a murder church? He does
4:50
now. He didn't before before his wife was killed. We just made conversation,
4:57
that's all. And since her death there's been no care on Some people
5:01
choose to think one day, Ben said Millie, when when this mess is
5:05
all settled, I'd like very much to see more of you. That's all.
5:11
That's all, And that's enough because I love him. About the trial,
5:18
it was four years ago in Chicago. I was working for a family
5:25
on the west side as a nursemaid governess. They were wonderful what happened.
5:30
The wife died suddenly under strange circumstances. It could have been an accident,
5:39
or it might have been poison. I thought you already knew about it.
5:44
That's why I blurted it out that way. Oh, I'd have found out
5:46
anyway, sooner or later. Yes, I know it was in all the
5:49
headlines, the same things that they'll be saying about me here. What do
5:54
you mean I was accused of murdering the wife because I was in love with
5:58
a husband. I left the shady lane cafe, and the tortured girl,
6:02
whose secret close hidden for four frightened years, was now the property of a
6:06
stranger. It was late now, and the town square was dark and deserted.
6:14
A stark white moon was climbing the eastern sky, and the soft summer
6:16
night's breath stirred in the leafy tops of the maples, whispering other secrets,
6:21
secrets the villagers dared not stay abroad and listen to him. A fantasy,
6:27
sure, pure and simple. Oh maybe it was a bad slice of podclist
6:33
anyway. The dim light burning in the office of Constable Jed Bramler brought me
6:38
back a harsh reality a man, Miss donner Man, pull up the chair.
6:42
Okay, thanks that the girl stopped crying it sniffling a little, maybe,
6:48
but she's practically stopped for the time being, at least lean something by
6:54
that. You know what I mean by it? Yeah? I reckon you
6:56
must have found out about her past, so to speak about it. Yeah,
7:00
since the day she came to town, stopped in to see me,
7:02
told me all about it when you were keeping it pretty quiet, weren't you.
7:05
It was told in confidence, mister Dollar. All right, but this
7:09
is a murder case. They don't have no bearing. Milly ain't involved.
7:12
Would you mind if I had a chance to decide that once in a while,
7:15
didn't know you'd be interested. Don't you realize that Millie Wells may be
7:18
the reason for the killing? Still beating the dead horse, eh, I
7:21
think that horse is coming to life. Mister Bramler, You do the way
7:25
things stand right now? Or prosecuting attorney could go into court with a pretty
7:28
strong case. The charge first degree murder accused your friend Ben Bates. You
7:33
ain't met Ben yet, mister Doll. No, no, I haven't met
7:36
him, but the facts that it up. It's an old, old story.
7:40
Yeah, it's downright passy. An invalid wife, a pretty girl,
7:43
a rundown farm that doesn't look as though it's made a provident years, a
7:46
ten thousand dollars life insurance policy dangling like a carrots. Yeah. Fact is,
7:50
it's even worse a picture if you're remind to look at it that way.
7:54
Ah, that farm of Bends ain't only run down, it's mortgage to
7:58
the hilt. Then needed money for Ellen's operations. She'd had three in the
8:03
last year and a half. He tried every way he knew how to.
8:05
The banks wouldn't touch it. Well in that case, Martin Preeny is next
8:09
door neighbor come through and helped him out. Seventy five hundred dollars. Is
8:13
the farm worth that much? Nope, wouldn't bring forty five hundred if it
8:18
was sold tomorrow, That's what I mean. Then, feels pretty obligated.
8:22
And the ten thousand dollars from that policy on his wife would have taken the
8:24
pressure off all the way around, plus leave him free to marry Millie Wells.
8:30
All right, all right, I know'dadge up that way. I've been
8:35
studying over this thing for a month now, trying to figure out some other
8:37
way of explaining it, hoping that somebody would show their hand, Yes,
8:43
make a move some kind, and nothing's happened. Huh No, whoever done
8:46
it is just setting tight waiting. Might be a good thing that you come
8:50
along. My jar. Things loose a little. Yeah, Well, whether
8:54
I'm right or wrong, one thing we've got, the jar looses that gun.
8:58
That's a fact, right. Can't make much of a case against nobody
9:01
without that gun, you said, nearly everybody in the township own one of
9:05
those old fashioned squirrel rifles, the type Ellen was killed with. That's right.
9:09
What about her husband, it's been on one. Nope, nothing but
9:13
a shotgun. Yes, I saw it when we were out there this afternoon,
9:16
hanging over the mantle. But at the same time I noticed something else.
9:22
What do you mean? That shotgun was resting on a pair of hooks
9:26
set into the bricks above the fireplace. But the hooks hadn't been put there
9:30
for that particular gun. They were too far apart. What are you getting
9:35
at, mister Doller. I think those hooks would fit a squirrel rifle just
9:39
fine. Ben ain't one to lie. He told me he didn't have a
9:45
rifle. But that's something else I've been steadying about. What do you mean?
9:50
I kind of half remember seeing a squirrel gun hanging over that mantle in
9:52
years gone by, Expencer count I had have eight three dollars car expense for
10:01
another trip out to the Baits farm, a late night trip this time,
10:05
and the last one, I hoped. Constable Bramler had suggested that my being
10:09
in the case might help stir things up good. I was all for it.
10:11
And not just stir things up, but wind them up tonight. Maybe
10:15
if we caught Ben Baits at home, lights on inside, you must we
10:20
hear something. Oh evening, jaid Man like you to meet mister Johnny Dollar.
10:30
It's a dollar. You fellows are a late little and I reckon mind
10:33
if we come inside Ben? Oh sure, sorry, Jed, I didn't
10:37
think. Let's go on back through to the kitchen. That's about the only
10:41
room I use since well anymore. I mean, set your homes down there
10:46
at the table. I'll get some lemonade if there's any ice left. Oh,
10:48
a lemonade left would suit me fine. Don't go no trouble for us
10:52
man. Oh, no trouble at all, got it already made. Just
10:54
have to chip the little ice into it. I reckon, you'll kind of
11:00
have to bear with me. I'm not much used to having callers come around
11:03
since Hellen. It's all right, Ben, here we are. Hey,
11:11
You fellow's got some business out this way tonight. The fact is, Ben,
11:15
we come out here to talk to you, mister dollars and insurance investigator,
11:18
be here to find out who killed Ellen. I see you got any
11:22
ideas yet, mister Donna, I've I've kind of got an idea. You
11:28
might have done it, Ben, I wouldn't have harmed a hair of Ellen's
11:31
head. I could be wrong. Mister Dollar has been checking around Ben,
11:37
talking to people here and their prenees, Millie Wells. What's Milly got to
11:41
do with it? Nothing? Maybe? Or she might be part of the
11:43
motive. I didn't even make her acquaintance hardly for the last week or two.
11:48
What about missus Preeney. You've known her longer, haven't you. Yes,
11:52
she was a good friend of Ellen's. Why she thinks you killed your
11:56
wife? She wrote an anonymous letter about it to the insurance. The woman's
11:58
crazy. I knew she never liked me for some reason, but I sure
12:01
wouldn't figure her to go that far. Ben. Whatever happened that squirrel rifle
12:07
you had around the house? Why the week before Ellen died somebody yes,
12:11
been No, I didn't lie to you, Jed not Actually when I told
12:16
you I didn't have a rifle like that, I didn't not then, and
12:20
you didn't ask me if I had had one. What happened to the rifle?
12:24
It was still the week before Ellen was killed. I haven't seen it
12:26
since. No, that's the truth, mister Dolla. You didn't report it
12:30
being stolen. Ell then asked me not to. She figured she knew who
12:33
took it, and she wanted to give them a chance to make good,
12:37
you know how she was. But after she'd been a shot by that same
12:39
kind of rifle, you still didn't report it, report afterward that the gun
12:43
had been took before. Who might have taken it? Then? I tried
12:48
to think it wasn't. Nobody came here that week except missus Preeney and Rody
12:52
Hawkins. Rody Hawkins, that's the hired hand we met here this afternoon,
12:56
Miss Della, Yeah, I know the one I was a dead shot with
12:58
a gun. Yeah, Brody wouldn't kill nobody. He's a little touched byby
13:01
but he's good hearted and gentle. Is he another one of your pets?
13:05
Constable? Don't you care whether the killer is identified? Kind of a funny
13:09
question to ask a murder victims? Uncle, uncle, mister Bramler was Ellen
13:18
Bates your niece. He didn't think to mention it. Mister Dollar just figured
13:24
you knew. I guess, And anyhow, you don't have no bearing from
13:45
Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dollar. Hello, Hello, Hello,
13:54
Hello, Sorry to scare off your collar, Ben. You always answer other
14:03
people's phones, mister Dollar. Yeah, when it's right on my elbow.
14:05
And when I want to find out who's calling at this time tonight? Did
14:09
you find out? I think so. I know of only one person in
14:11
the township who'd probably hang up when they heard my voice. And who you
14:16
reckon? That'd be mister Dona, Millie Wells, Jed who else? I
14:18
think you'd better leave Milly out of this, if you don't mind. I
14:20
can understand your concern, Ben, but I'm afraid I can't go along with
14:24
it. Your wife has been murdered. Gossip around town says, you and
14:28
Milly have been interested in each other, and Millie stood trial four years ago
14:31
on a charge of murder ed it up. Ben dded up tonight and every
14:43
weekday night. Bob Bailey in the transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action

Packed Expense of Coud America's Fabulous freelance insurance Investigator, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar
15:05
from Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, location Shady Lane, Vermont to the home office
15:11
Star Mutual Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. Assignment the Shady Lane matter expense
15:16
account continued. It was a messy case, hard to move around in a
15:26
small community, and everybody in it was a neighbor or friend of everybody else,
15:30
except, of course, the unknown person who'd murdered Ellen, ben Bates
15:33
invalid wife. But the ties were close. Ellen had turned out was the
15:39
niece of Constable Jed Bramler, and Sarah priny next door neighbor, had accused
15:43
Ben of carrying on with waitress Millie Wells, who was a good friend of
15:46
Constable Brambler, and Sarah Priney's husband had helped Ben out of a jam by
15:50
loaning him seventy five hundred dollars on a worthless farm. Yeah, it was
15:56
sticky and tight and uncomfortable. Touch one domino, and you moved all of
15:58
them. But the key to the game I was still convinced was Ben Bates
16:03
himself. Yah, you're wrong, mister Dolla. I've known Ben here for
16:07
more years than I can't think about murdered. Just ain't in his nature,
16:11
Mister Bramler. I think you're just too close to this case to keep her
16:15
perspective on it. I know these people and you don't. Well, that's
16:18
exactly the point. Ben is your friend. He was married to your niece,
16:22
so you just can't imagine him committing a murder. Ain't in his nature.
16:26
Oh, I've never seen a killer yet without at least a few friends
16:29
who were certain that murder wasn't in his nature. Now listen to me,
16:30
both of you. There's not a question of my nature. It's a question
16:34
of fact, and the fact is a plain and simple one. I didn't
16:37
kill Ellen, mister Dolla. A lot of things say different Ben, and
16:41
there's nothing at all between me and Milly. If Ellen had lived, i'd
16:44
never spoken to her as it is. I've only asked her if I could
16:47
see her sometime once this thing is all settled, when you're together. At
16:51
least that's about what she told me. We're together because it's the truth,
16:53
mister Dolla, or because you've already talked it over one fault. I haven't
16:57
got it, Lion, Not even about your wife being stolen. Well,
17:00
it wasn't no actual lie. When Jedeair asked me if I had a squirrel
17:06
gun, I said no, And like I told you, I didn't,
17:08
then it had already been stolen. Suppose he'd asked you if you had a
17:12
squirrel rifle, I reckon I'd have had to fess up to it. Well
17:18
we'll never know, of course, for sure, but one thing is sure.
17:22
After your wife was shot and killed by a gun of that same type,
17:25
you still didn't report to the constable here that yours had been taken.
17:27
Well, I I explained it to you. How would it looked if I'd
17:32
have told him after Ellen was shot that my old squirrel gun had been stolen
17:34
before, and you didn't report the theft when had happened because Ellen asked you
17:37
not to. Was that the story? She thought she knew who took it.
17:41
She wanted a chance to get it back without causing them trouble, and
17:44
of course she's not here and now of banking up on that, it's the
17:47
truth. She was like that, jed here, I'll tell you, kind
17:49
hearted and tolerant with people. Yeah, he was that, all right.
17:52
It's a fact. If either Missus Preeney or Grody Hawkins took it, and
17:56
they're the only ones that was here that week, then she was aimed to
18:00
talk to whichever one it was and get it back without bringing the lawyer.
18:03
Only she never had the chance to she was killed. Yeah, yeah,
18:07
and that gun figures in it somehow, it's bound to. Look, we've
18:11
got to find it, mister Bramler, right takes him do it, then
18:15
we better get at it tonight. Tonight. We got things stirred up.
18:18
Now, let's keep them stirred up, all right, Ben, you claim
18:22
you're not guilly of this. It ain't a claim, it's a fact.
18:25
Then who would you say is the most likely suspect? Ellen didn't have a
18:29
single enemy in this world. As far as I know, there ain't a
18:32
person in this township that had a reason to kill her except you. For
18:37
the money, you mean, for that life insurance policy. It's worth ten
18:40
thousand dollars, And I'm that kind you think a man who'd murder his own
18:45
wife just to get his hands on ten thousand dollars. Ben, I don't
18:49
know, but there's one thing he can count on. I'm gonna find out.
18:57
Constable Bramler and I have been alone and his empty farm. I was
19:00
drove back into town. The moon was higher now, and the countryside was
19:03
dappled in black and silver, and it too was empty in silence. We
19:10
alone moved and made noise as we rattled down the winding dirt road through the
19:12
flint rock valleys between the sleeping elms and maples. Logic still pointed at Ben
19:18
Bates, but I'd begun to doubt logic A little Rambler was right. Murder
19:23
didn't seem to be in Ben's nature, And I wasn't sure now whether he
19:26
sat there in his silent house alone with guilt or alone with grief. Rodi
19:33
lives back at the feed store there. What do you mean back of it?
19:37
Eh? Kind of a shock there on the back corner of the lot.
19:41
They let him live in it and returned for keeping an eye on the
19:42
store at night. H quite a choice for a night watch when a kid
19:45
who's been up several times for petty theft. Mm hmm, I reckon.
19:49
It does seem a bit odd. Well, let's go see if he's there.
19:55
You know, folks around here use a person according to his nature Rode.
20:00
He is pretty reliable. It's something he's made RESPONSI before. And why
20:03
do you think he might have stolen that squirrel rifle from Ben Bates' place?
20:07
He was working for Ben, wasn't he, but just as a hired hand.
20:10
He wasn't hired spatially, not steel. But here he is. Now
20:15
that's a fine point of ethics. Most points of ethics is that way,
20:18
reck and groady, just as here things sometimes so people will notice him,
20:22
take an interest in him. He's a little simple minded, but he ain't
20:26
a bad kid at heart. Is anybody bad in your book? Mister Bramley,
20:30
whoever killed Elan Bates is watch step now? It's pretty doc back here.
20:34
Yeah, I hope nobody has dug a hole here. Somepoace't likely now.
20:41
I think the door is here, to the corner somewhere. Try to
20:44
collect rightly, it's been a walk. You are right, Bruce, machines
20:51
are now who in the sam Hill put all these boxes in front of the
20:55
door. You stop right there, don't you move. He's got a rifle
20:57
on us, all right, don't try nothing, dollar Like I told you,
21:00
he's a dead shot. What's you whispering about there? Never you mind,
21:03
Brody? You just put that gun down. I'll put it up.
21:07
Don't you move now, let me get a class flight. It's Jed Brody,
21:10
Constable Bramler, mister dollars with me. You stand still, like,
21:14
get a light on you, then we'll see. I got it? Yes,
21:18
did you recognize my boys? Never can't tell people might try something funny,
21:25
try to break in something like that. Well, now that you know
21:27
who we are, Brody, how about having a look at that gun you're
21:30
holding on us? Well, I don't know. I guess if Constable Bramler
21:37
says it's all right, it's all right, Grody, let him look at
21:40
the gun. All right? Then here? Thanks mind holding the flashlight here?
21:49
All right? Well, at least this isn't the one. It's twenty
21:56
two. What are you fellas up to anyhow? Grody? What did you
22:00
do that squirrel rifle you took from over Ben Bates's mantle? Well, Brody,
22:07
I don't know what you're talking about you. Don't anybody says I've done
22:11
that is lying? Ah Nah, don't get excited, Brody. We're want
22:14
to wake up this whole town while we're walking across there. Where are we
22:17
going? Constable over to the city jail? Quiet night? Not even the
22:29
mocking bird singing out there. I wish that bird back in the cell would
22:33
do some singing. Eh. He will always gets to bother him after he's
22:37
in for a while. Thirty minutes hasn't bothered that much. He'll talk pretty
22:41
soon, provided, of course, he has anything to talk about. I
22:47
know that boy inside out, whether he stole that gun or not, he's
22:51
lying about something. Eh. And we're gonna have to buy some oil one
22:56
of these days, Doug Guncherry even gets on my nerves. I don't think
23:00
anything gets on your nerves, mister Brownwin. The country up here has that
23:04
kind of influence. I reckon these hills were older than man. They've seen
23:08
a lot of things come and go. It's the kind of quiet person down
23:12
if he stays here long enough. I doubt if this place is as quiet
23:17
as it looks. I think there are things under the surface, like flint
23:19
rocks and the field, and sooner or later they worked at the top and
23:22
break off a plowshare. Yeah, it happened sometimes. Isn't there anyone you
23:27
can think of who might have hated her even slightly? If Dollar, If
23:32
I was to say honestly who I thought was the best like person in this
23:36
whole township, I would have to name my niece Ellen Bates. And yet
23:41
somebody put a bullet through her head and fired at her from the brush without
23:44
even any warning. It's a fact there had to be a lot of hate
23:48
behind that bullet, or a lot of greed. Same old tune. Eh
23:53
Ben killed her for the insurance. I keep coming back to it because nothing
23:57
else makes any sense, and neither does that. He owed that mortgage to
24:02
Martin Preeney and the farm wasn't worth it. Martin wasn't pressing him for it.
24:04
Maybe not, But if I tagged Ben Wright, he still felt the
24:07
obligation, the sense of pressure. Ten thousand dollars must to look pretty big
24:11
to him, not that big, mister Dollar. Then there's Millie Wells,
24:15
pretty as a picture and in love with him, and an invalid wife at
24:18
home. Well, my pigeons starting to chirp and let him think I ain't
24:25
coming right way, he gets more anxious, saves time in the long run,
24:29
A matter of understanding his nature, something like that. What about your
24:33
nature? Mister Browner? Always was kind to my mother and your niece too,
24:40
meaning how did you and Ellen get along? Fine? Just fine?
24:47
I reckon? He must be ready to talk. It's true I was lying
24:56
about it. I stole that gun, all right, But I ain't got
24:59
it now, is it, Brody? I sold it to mister Martin Preeney
25:03
to hang in his house. Martin Preeney, Yeah, I can't figure Martin
25:06
paying money for something to hang in the house. He's too tight fisted.
25:08
He give me four dollars for it about three weeks ago. That would be
25:12
after Ellen was shot and you took the gun the week before the murderer.
25:17
Are you saying that I shot Miss Baits? That gun was in your possession
25:19
at the time, Brody. Oh, she was the best friend I ever
25:22
had, the only one in this town that ever treated me like somebody.
25:27
I wouldn't ever done nothing to hurt Miss Babs. You had that gun,
25:30
the same kind she was killed with. Oh, that gun ain't been fired
25:33
in years? What why, mister bas never did use it when it's even
25:37
got rested inside the barrel, Brody, for your sake, I hope it
25:42
has. Now Here's our star are to tell you about the final intriguing episode
26:02
of this week's story Tomorrow one domino tips, the whole stack tumbles, and
26:07
the last man falls with a crash. Join us, won't you? Yours
26:11
Truly? Johnny Dall. Yours Truly Johnny Dollar starring Bob Bailey is transcribed in
26:29
Hollywood, written by Les Crutchfield. It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone.
26:33
Be sure to join us tomorrow night at the same time in station for
26:37
the next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, Roy Rowan speaking welcome back.
28:19
Well. Johnny does scene in this episode to be making grasping a bit
28:26
more in allegations than we have seen in previous serials, and it's something to
28:33
note some listener. One listener suggested that this could come off as arrogance.
28:40
I don't see in this particular case any sort of arrogance. It's more a
28:42
lot of frustration. This actually is one of my favorite Johnny Dollar cereals,
28:49
just because of the contrast between Johnny Dollar and the town a Constable and their
28:56
approach. And I think the Constables area is just absolutely frustrating for Johnny because
29:03
basically it's dealing with someone who knows everybody and can't imagine any of them committing
29:10
the crime and constantly says, you know, it just wasn't in their nature,
29:15
which isn't something you can quantify, and which isn't something that Johnny can
29:19
tell his insurance company. And I think definitely it's a level of frustration because
29:25
it's such a foreign approach. And I have to say that that, to
29:30
me is what really led to him even asking the question, did how was
29:42
your relationship with your niece? Is there some sort of angle I can hang
29:48
on to here? Obviously, it's just such a contrasting style, And I
29:55
have to say I remember the end, and I think it's just a it's
29:59
a perfect and I think we will definitely you'll want to be here on Friday
30:06
to hear how this all turns out, because I just absolutely love the end
30:10
of this serial. Well that we have actually one comment and then we'll be
30:15
done for today, Li says Adam. I haven't listened to the War yet,
30:22
but I'm addicted to the Great Detectors and I'm sure this will be just
30:23
as good. I'm very excited about your new effort. Please add a link
30:26
from the Great Detectors page. I wouldn't find it till I happen to have
30:32
a pencil nearby when you mentioned again, thanks for all you do. I
30:34
love your work. Lisa. Well, thanks so much, Lisa, And
30:37
that is that's a good idea. I don't know why I didn't think about
30:41
it, but by the time you hear this show, it will be added,
30:45
so I appreciate that feedback. All right, well, we continue on.
