of A Wife in Your Hands is Murder in the Odd Doctor's Office. Partially
1:03
transcribed the National Broadcasting Company presents Earl Stanley Gardner's A Life in Your Hand?
1:14
What was she wearing? Was the door open? Where was the weapon?
1:22
Listen while we place A Life in your Hands. You never know when you
1:30
step from the safety of your home when you may witness a violent death and
1:34
be called upon to testify as to what you saw and heard. Murder is
1:42
a dark enigma that strikes fear into the heart of man. Strange, baffling,
1:49
mysterious, but the darkest crime. One man can invent, another man
1:53
can unravel. Such a man is Jonathan Kegg, created by Earl Stanley Gardner,
1:57
the world's most popular writer of mysteries, creator of Perrymason, and many
2:02
other outstanding characters. Here's your keymest keg Room one out two. Thanks,
2:10
Jim. I can always count on you to remember my room number. I
2:14
guess so. It's not often we have famous people stay at this hotel.
2:17
How come you stay in a little town like this when you could go to
2:21
someplace important. Well, when I'm on a vacation, Jim, I'll like
2:23
to take it easy by in the sun, swim, eat good meals,
2:27
and relax. Most of all, I like to avoid crowds. And I
2:30
bet you'd like to get away from crime too, don't you, Yes,
2:31
Jim. But I've found, much to my dismay, that no matter where
2:35
you go, crime is not far away. You'll ever know when or where
2:38
violence will strike, or when you'll suddenly become a witness to a crime,
2:43
be called upon to testify as to what you saw and heard. Even now,
2:46
somewhere nearby there may be a crime. Doctor Matthew's office, No,
3:02
the doctor's out. May I help you? Yes, we have office hours
3:07
tonight. Oh you'd like your eyes examined? Yes, we can take you
3:13
at seven. Your name please, missus Salinger. Thank you for calling missus
3:19
Salinger. We'll see you tonight. Bye. What are you doing here?
3:24
Doctor Matthews isn't in I know that's why I came. Why don't you leave
3:28
me alone? How many times have I told you I don't want you around
3:30
my dear miss O'Connor think the owner of this building gives me every right to
3:35
be here. Don't you dare come near me you want to talk to you,
3:39
I wouldn't think of touching a hair of your innocent head. Don't forget
3:44
I know all about your pretty pass. Pick your hands off me, toy
3:47
act on me. You let me go, bite me. I teach you
3:54
ray and get away from her. Well, Sir Galla, have the Deathist
3:59
to the rescue. We're just having a little fun. This is the first
4:01
time she's objected. You ought to be killed. Those are harsh words,
4:05
lizy aren Yes, Paul, please get him out of here. Crane you
4:09
get out, Lamper temper, Your fair damsel isn't hurt, and she's not
4:15
so fair. Get out. It's hardly the way to talk to a man.
4:17
You owe fifteen thousand, You get your mine? You sure I will.
4:23
The next payment is due Tuesday. Either you pay or outgoes your precious
4:27
equipment. I don't know why beggars can't be choosers. I haven't had so
4:32
much fun in years. Ah, the illustrious doctor Matthews. What do you
4:38
want here, Crane? Maybe your rent? I paid it yesterday, David.
4:43
He's been bothering Liz. I have to get back to my office.
4:46
I like a patient on a chair. Are you one of your mind?
4:50
Crane? I'm just a bit taken with your assistant to get out of here.
4:55
Look, I'm the one who does the evicting around here. Now,
4:58
don't take a lot of guff from tenants. What did you come here for?
5:00
Does to bother Miss O'Connor. This is a professional call. I want
5:04
my eyes examined. Why don't you go to someone else, because you're the
5:08
best. I'll be here at seven. We have an appointment for seven.
5:12
You'll take me first. You will always consider me first, all right?
5:17
Come at seven? Alfa drops in your eyes. By the time they take
5:20
effect, maybe the other examination will be finished. Count the minutes, miss
5:25
O'Connor, until you see me again. How long has he been bothering you?
5:33
Mom? I haven't said anything. He could ruin me he knows all
5:38
about Paul and me. It got back to Paul's wife, he'd lose his
5:42
practice. It's none of my business. But you're playing with fire. No,
5:46
it's none of your business. No, I'm sorry, Doctor, Matthew's
5:49
on edge. I guess. Oh, none of your earrings is on the
5:51
floor. Oh okay, mid Heaven's Liz. Was he so rough that he
5:57
knocked ineering off? No? I always take one off when I answered the
5:59
phone, dangle kind getting my way? What are we going to do?
6:02
Doctor? I mean about Crane. I don't know, but something has to
6:08
be done. I am home, Helen, only an hour late for dinner.
6:31
Who's the girl this time? Does my being late always have to involve
6:34
a woman being you? It always does. Your dinner is cold, and
6:39
so are you, my dear, a walking refrigerator. If you divorce me,
6:43
Henry, you wouldn't have to put up with it for the hundredth time.
6:46
You obviously detested. My other dislike for you is surpassed only by my
6:50
other delight in tormenting you once it for all. No, I can't take
6:56
much more of you on the board. At the end of my rope.
6:58
I'll give you a little more. Maybe you'll hang yourself. You're a most
7:01
despicable man either. But you married for your money. Now you're paying for
7:05
it. It all comes out, Helen. You always have to pay for
7:11
what you've guessed. Someday you're going to get something you haven't count it on.
7:14
Look, I'm going up to doctor Matthews at seven o'clock. There my
7:15
eyes examined. It shouldn't take longer than an hour. I'll expect you to
7:19
pick me up. Why can't you drive? He's going to but drop some
7:24
my eyes. I won't be able to see in that case. No,
7:29
you'll be there as long as I have money. You'll do what I say.
7:50
Good evening, Missus Salinger, A good evening, and the doctor'll be
7:54
right with you. Or isn't he here yet? Oh he's in the treatment
7:56
room. I've never had an examination before. He won't put anything in my
8:01
eyes, Willie, Yes? Will it hurt? Will I be able to
8:03
see? Oh? There's nothing to become alarmed about. The drops are milly
8:07
to dilate your pupils so the doctor can better test your eyes. Or your
8:11
sight may be hazy for a while. But you don't have anything, Missus
8:13
Salinger. Will you committa, Thank you doctor. Now, if you'll sit
8:20
in this chair, I'll lean back. Please look up at the ceiling,
8:26
Missus Salinger. That's it there, O cold, isn't it? Yes?
8:33
Now look up there? All finished? Just close your eyes. It'll only
8:39
be a few minutes. I'll be back. Thank you, doctor. I
8:43
want to be right across the fall if you need me. I'm not telling
8:46
what that fool Crane might try. He won't try anything tonight. I know.
8:50
How can you be so sure he wouldn't dare while I'm in the office,
8:52
you have another patient. It means you'll be in the other room most
8:56
of the time. Don't worry. I'm putting drops in his eyes. He's
8:58
so far sighted he be practically blind. He won't even be able to find
9:01
Liz. Oh, as long as I'm over here, could I borrow a
9:05
hypo of sodium pentethal. I've got a wisdom extraction coming in tonight. Certainly
9:09
I'll get it for you. Thanks. Here you are, Paul, Thanks
9:13
David, Liz. As soon as I get the drops and Crane's eyes,
9:16
you can go home. Yes, doctor Matthew, good evening. I hope
9:22
I haven't kept you waiting I'll be across the hall, liz Ah. I
9:26
see you're here to protect your interests. You try one more trek like this
9:31
afternoon, and I'll beat you to apply your want because I dispossess you of
9:35
your equipment and your office space so fast you'd be selling pencils in the street.
9:41
I'm not afraid of you, doctor more, because I have you right
9:43
where I want you under my thumb. You got up blazes the age old
9:50
battle of love versus career. Shall we proceed, doctor Matthews. I'm ashamed
9:56
to even treat you cat. Your ethics are showing I think should never show.
10:01
Isn't that right, miss O'Connor. I don't know what you're talking about.
10:05
You've never let them color your lives. I don't protest, please,
10:09
I've followed your career, or rather your past, very revealing. I'm sure
10:16
missus Paul Moore would find it fascinating. Either you shut up and let me
10:20
start the examination, or what doctor, If someone doesn't kill you someday,
10:26
it will be a miracle. Oh the other way, please, you must
10:28
have had onions for dinner. Come on, crane into the side room.
10:35
Sit here now look up, Oh the other eye look up. Hey,
10:43
that's cold, said hittol. I get back. That's a salanter. Here
10:50
we open your eyes. Just lean your head back and my head rest there.
10:54
Let me take a look. I want to be sure the drops have
10:56
taken effect. Just said here a while longer and look into those lenses.
11:01
It's a refractor. I want you to get used to it now. Please
11:05
excuse me. Oh of course, doctor Les. You can go home,
11:11
though. Where are you going down to buy some gun? I have enough
11:16
change. I'm ready to leave. I don't forget to turn the sterilizer off.
11:18
I won't. Good night, good night, see you in the morning.
11:20
Thanks for staying down. That's yours, that's yours. How long do
11:46
I have to sit here with my eyes closed? Matthews? Answer me?
11:50
What's that bubbling noise? Matthew swear? Are you? I know? What's
11:54
you? Answer me? Where is everyone? Don't imagine Henry? Oh there
12:22
you are, Henry House. When you be finished, I've got to go
12:26
over to Henry. Oh helly list? What what is it? What's list?
12:35
Oh? Missus Craig Henry, he's been stead well. May I have
13:00
my key please? Jim? Oh, mister Keg Sorry I was reading about
13:03
the murder. Yes, it was a terrible thing, mister Keg. I
13:07
know doctor Matthews didn't do it. I know what makes you so sure,
13:11
Jim, I go to him for glasses. He's been swelled to me.
13:13
Never charge me the full prize because he knows I can't afford it. Mister
13:16
Keg, he couldn't have killed Henry Crane. Seems like an open and shut
13:20
case. Doctor Matthews had the motive, the opportunity of the weapon, and
13:24
the flimsy excuse. Practically everybody in town at a motive for killing Crane.
13:28
Nobody liked him. Oh, mister Keg, here's are good at being a
13:31
lawyer. But I don't mean exactly a lawyer. I make his cury.
13:37
I yeah, what does it mean? Well, Amka's curry I literally translated
13:41
means friend of the court, Lemka's curi. I works neither for the prosecution
13:46
or the defense, only in search of the truth. I cross examine witnesses.
13:50
Why aren't there more like you? Well, you see you don't get
13:54
paid for it, Jim. I'm fortunate enough that I can do this kind
13:58
of work gratis for free. Don't get paid for your work, And I
14:01
can't very well ask you. Then, my work is done purely in the
14:05
interest of justice. Tell you what. I'll review the facts of the case
14:09
and see what can be done for your doctor friend. Quiet, quiet,
14:24
please, your honor. There are certain weaknesses in the evidence against doctor Matthews
14:31
view of his fine reputation as a doctor. I should like to enter the
14:35
case as amcas curii. Your reputation is an experton Crost's examination is well known.
14:41
With the keg you are fortunate to have you with us. You may
14:43
proceed. I should like to recall Missus Henry Crane to the stand. Missus
14:52
Crane, will you tell the court again precisely what occurred when you went to
14:54
doctor Matthew's office on the night of the murder. Well. I came in
14:58
the front door of the office. Is there more than one entrance to doctor
15:01
Matthews's office. I don't know what. Most doctor's offices have a rare entrance,
15:05
don't they. It depends on the layout of the building. I went
15:09
into the waiting room. I called to see if there was anyone in the
15:15
office. No answer. I went through the little reception room and into the
15:18
hallway that leads to well to the treatment room. There was Henry sitting in
15:24
a chair with his eyes closed. Did you notice whether the door to the
15:26
other treatment room was closed? I didn't notice that. Oh, yes,
15:31
yes it was open, Yes it was, but it was very dark inside.
15:35
Well, Henry had his eyes closed. As I was saying I,
15:39
I started to talk to him, and then I saw the blood on his
15:41
shirt front. I screamed, he's been stabbed, and doctor Matthews and doctor
15:46
More came running in. How did you know your husband had been stabbed?
15:48
Why? Because it was bleeding down the front of his shirt. Couldn't the
15:50
blood have come from another type of wound? Anyone knows the difference between a
15:54
knife wound and a wound which makes a large hole at the point of entrance.
15:56
You're a registered nurse, arn't a missus cram? Before I was married,
16:00
I was a trainer And you know how to administer a hypodermic? Yeah?
16:03
Did you know that your husband had been given a hypodermic of sodium pentathal
16:07
before he was stabbed with a scalpel? I heard the car in his report.
16:10
What do you know about sodium pentathal? Missus crane. It's an anesthetic
16:12
that acts very quickly. You and your husband weren't getting along, were you.
16:18
I don't see how my personal life it's any bearing on this case against
16:21
doctor Matthew. It may have a bearing, missus Crane. Look at it
16:23
this way. You entered the office and found no one there but your husband
16:26
with drops in his eyes, practically blind. You're a trained nurse, so
16:30
you go back to the treatment room, villa hypo with sodium pentothal, take
16:33
a scalpel, inject the anesthetic, stab your husband, wipe the scalpel and
16:37
hypos orenge clean, put them in the sterilizer, and scream that your husband
16:40
has been killed. That's ridiculous. I didn't kill Henry. I may have
16:42
hated him, but I didn't kill it. I'm not saying you did,
16:45
missus Crane. I'm just saying you could he and I'm showing you that your
16:49
personal life could have quite a bearing in such a case. That will be
16:52
all, thank you. Now, wait just a minute, I'm not trying
16:55
to sit here. Is there something more you would like to tell us.
16:57
I didn't have time to kill you did enter your mind, didn't say that
17:00
Henry was dead when I got there. Thank you. That will be all
17:03
doctor Paul Moore. Please, doctor Moore, you have testified that Henry Crane
17:11
threatened to dispossess you of your expensive equipment in your office face. That's right.
17:15
Everyone had some reason to dislike Crane. He made it his business.
17:18
Do you keep office hours every night only when needed? Your office is right
17:23
across the hall from doctor Matthews. Yes. Did you hear anything unusual at
17:27
the time of the murder? No? No, I can't say I did.
17:30
I heard doctor Matthews and live miss O'Connor leave, and then a little
17:34
while later I heard Missus Crane screams. Did they leave together? Liz left
17:38
by the elevator, and then right after doctor Matthews went down the stairs.
17:41
How do you know I was watching, sort of peeking out your door.
17:47
Well, when you knew that the two had left, you knew Crane was
17:49
alone. I knew Missus Sellinger was in the treatment room. I'd been over
17:53
earlier to borrow something. Anyone who knew Missus Salinger was there and planned to
17:57
kill Crane would have made or it was a soundless murder. Probably. Do
18:02
you have an assistant when you work at night? I work alone. That
18:04
rather limits you to fillings and cleanings as such, doesn't it? Yes?
18:07
I don't usually do it. Yeah. Miss O'Connor testified earlier that you had
18:11
borrowed a hypodermic of sodium pentothal from doctor Matthews for an extraction that night.
18:15
I meant it for the morning. When't you have borrowed it in the morning?
18:18
I suppose so. But as long as I was there, I just
18:19
stated that you went to doctor matthews office to borrow something. Wasn't it something?
18:23
The anesthetic? I didn't mean what did you mean? I don't know.
18:27
It will be all for now, Doctor Moore, I would like to
18:30
recall miss O'Connor to the stand. In your earlier testimony, Miss O'Connor,
18:38
you stated that Henry Crane had made advances. He was unbearable. He seemed
18:42
to enjoy frightening me. I see where did you go when you left the
18:47
office home? I was quite tired. I'd had a hectic day. Do
18:51
you live alone? Yes? I live in an apartment. Did anyone see
18:55
you come home? I doubt it. I went right up and went to
18:56
bed. No one saw you. I'll think doctor Matthews saw me leave.
19:03
In anyway, Why should there have to be anyone's word beside mine. When
19:06
I leave the office every day, I don't think of establishing an alibi for
19:10
somebody. True, mister Connor, how long have you worked for doctor Matthews?
19:14
For years? Do you get along as employer an employee? Doctor Matthews
19:18
is one of the finest men I've ever known. He hated Crane, we
19:22
all did. But I feel sure he didn't kill him. Mister o Connor,
19:25
do you realize that if doctor Matthews didn't kill Crane, the murderer made
19:29
every attempt to make it look like he did. That's true, but but
19:32
that'll be all. Thank you well, doctor Matthews. Please take the stamp.
19:40
Doctor Matthews, you state that you left the office to buy chewing gum.
19:44
Yes, I had onions for dinner and didn't want to offend my patients.
19:49
Is it customary to leave a patient in the treatment room after administering drops.
19:52
I had my patients sit with their eyes closed for a while that night.
19:57
Neither of the patient's pupils had dilated enough, so I left them for
20:00
a while longer in the dark room. I see, where did you go
20:03
for the chewing gum? There's a little old man who runs a candy stand
20:07
on the floor below. Did the man recognize you? Wasn't there? I
20:11
waited a few minutes. Then I heard missus Crane scream and ran back upstairs.
20:15
Did anyone see you? I'm afraid not, Doctor Matthews. Why didn't
20:19
you kill Crane? Well? I thought of it, but I knew I
20:23
couldn't. I couldn't jeopardize my family, my profession. I never dreamed the
20:29
insignificant act of fine chewing gum could be so important. Thank you, Doctor
20:33
Matthews, your honor. There are many obvious aspects of this case. I
20:37
have found in my experience that with every murder there is a sound pattern,
20:41
a sequence of sounds or absence of sounds, that, when placed in proper
20:45
order, must spell the truth. I asked the court to adjourn until tomorrow,
20:49
at which time I shall recall a completely disinterested witness. The mission is
20:53
granted. Carter's adjourn until tomorrow morning. At ten o'clock. Jonathan Kegg is
21:00
about to call another witness. It could be you. If it were,
21:06
could you remember what you have heard? It would be vital that you do,
21:10
for you would hold a life in your hands to build our strength against
21:29
possible aggression. We must equip our armed forces with the weapons of war,
21:33
and at the same time, in order to defeat inflation, we must produce
21:37
adequate supplies of civilian goods. There's only one way to meet this double challenge,
21:41
and that's by turning out more goods and services for every hour we work.
21:47
Remember, the better we produce, the stronger we grow. Missus Sellinger,
22:03
who was in the other treatment room when Henry Crane was murdered, has
22:06
been recalled. Court has convened. Jonathan Kegg commences his cross examinations. Missus
22:12
Sellinger, I understand from a review of the record that you have already been
22:15
called in this case. Yes, mister Kegg, but I couldn't be of
22:19
any help. What makes you so sure? Well, as you know that
22:22
the pupils of my eyes had been dilated and I was in a dark room
22:26
sitting behind a big machine, I couldn't possibly see anything. Well, Frankly,
22:30
missus Sellinger, I'm not interested in anything you could or could not have
22:33
seen. Now, will you please tell the court exactly what you heard when
22:37
Henry Crane died. Well, I heard talking out in the reception room.
22:42
Whom did you hear oh, miss O'Connor and doctor Matthews and doctor Moore.
22:48
They were talking about Crane. I couldn't hear much. And then Crane came
22:52
in. Did you know mister Crane? By then i'd heard about him.
22:56
Go on, please? I heard doctor Moore threatened to beat up on and
23:00
doctor Matthew said, real loud, if someone doesn't kill you, it'll be
23:04
a miracle. Then what happened? Then? Doctor Matthews took Crane back to
23:12
the other treatment room and put drops in his eyes. Yes, and then
23:17
well, then he the doctor came into the side room and put a big
23:22
kind of machine up to my eyes, Your honor, I have brought an
23:25
actual refractor into court with your permission, I would like to exhibit it.
23:27
You may for see. Well, you will roll it over here. Please.
23:33
Is this what you mean by a machine? Yes, that's it.
23:37
It's a sellinger. What did you hear next? Well, the doctor excused
23:40
himself, and I heard coins jingling in his hand. How did you know
23:44
they were coins? Well? Why I heard them, but you couldn't see
23:47
them? Well, no, I couldn't, but I know they were I
23:52
heard doctor Matthews tell Mitt O'Connor, who's going to buy some chewing gum,
23:55
and then well mitt O'Connor said she was ready to leave. I heard her
23:59
high heels clicking it. It was real quiet, and then I heard a
24:03
bubbling sound. Crane called out to ask what the noise was. I started
24:08
to tell him that the doctor was out, but then I heard the jingling
24:11
of coins. So I guess the doctor must have come back. Did you
24:15
hear footsteps and no? None. Had you heard doctor Matthews footsteps before?
24:18
No, he was wearing rubber soled shoes. What did you hear after that?
24:22
Well? I heard this jingling some more and the bubbling, and then
24:29
a nettle click. The jingle was real faint. Then I see was this
24:34
jingling sound constant? It was in spurts, like the coins were in his
24:40
pocket when he walked. Then the sound pattern went like this, a bubbling
24:44
sound in the background, a sporadic jingle, loud and faint, then loud
24:48
and faint, then a metallic click, and then the jingle became louder than
24:52
faded. There was silence except for bubbling. Yes, yes, that's right,
24:57
your honor. I would like to place the refract re up to missus
25:00
Sellinger's eyes. I have asked each of the people involved to wear exactly what
25:03
they wore on that night, your permission, I would like each to walk
25:07
by, missus Sellinger. Also, I have brought a sterilizer which is now
25:10
boiling. Now, missus Sellinger, I will bring the refractor up to your
25:15
eyes. There. At first, I would like you to come forward.
25:22
Would you please remove your shoes and walk past the witness. This is ridiculo.
25:33
Thank you. You may sit down and now you please quiet, please,
25:40
there must be absolute quiet. My five beta kamper key hitting my keychain.
25:48
Is that the sounds you heard, missus Sellinger, No, it wasn't.
25:55
That will be all doctor Moore. Here please, here are some change
25:59
where you put it in your Please. Now I'll just walk past as a
26:02
sealinger. Now think carefully, miss a sealinger. Was that the sounds you
26:11
heard? I'd like to hear it again, of course, but first I'd
26:17
like another person to walk by. Will you will please take off your shoes?
26:19
Yes, mister Katy, before you start, what were you wearing on
26:23
the night of the murder? I had on this file suit, I heels,
26:26
I always wear heels and jewelry. Of course, I don't see what
26:30
difference in my appearance make. I ask you to wear it exactly what you
26:33
wore that night. I am jewelry too well. I didn't think you met
26:37
down to the exact jewelry that night. Were you wearing the earrings I saw
26:41
you take off just now? I believe you put them in your purse.
26:45
Oh? Yes, they were hurting my ears. Will you put them on
26:48
please? Now I must ask for a complete silence in the courtroom. All
26:52
right, you will be first and you will follow. That's it. That
27:07
that last one. I'm sure the coin, yes, the coin. At
27:10
last sound you heard was the jingling of miss O'Connor's dangling earrings. After appearing
27:15
to take the elevator downstairs, you, Liz O'Connor, went back into the
27:18
office, passed Craine and missus Llinger, build the hypodermic, took a scalpel,
27:22
gave Praine an injection, and stabbed Hi. You then wiped the instruments
27:25
and put them in a sterilizer, hence the metallic click of the lid heard
27:27
by missus Sellinger. You then left by the back door. Thanks to missus
27:32
Llinger's testimony to her keen perception, we now know it was you who came
27:36
back to the office at night, and you all along. I couldn't get
27:38
away with it. But I'm not sorry. It's your case. I'm not
27:42
sorry. Yeah, I'm a keg. You were wonderful. How how'd you
28:03
get on the track of Lizza carn Jim? If Matthews weren't guilty, then
28:07
the jingling sound must have come from some wearing apparel. Miss O'Connor's choice of
28:11
clothing is quite extreme. I imagined her jewelry was just as extreme. The
28:15
testimony of missus Stellinger, the innocent bystander, again proved that with such cooperation
28:21
the truth will out. Yeah. I guess you'll be checking out now,
28:23
huh. And I hate to see you go. Yes, your vacation is
28:26
kind of ruine like a Jim, but my stay wasn't ruined. Well,
28:30
I hope I see you again soon. Goodbye, Jim, by mister Kegg
28:34

29:03
this is George Stone extending a cordial invitation for each of you to be with
29:07
us again next week. This is NBC, the National Broadcasting Company, Welcome
29:14
back. You know, if I were a suspicious, superstitious sort, I
29:18
would probably suggest that Jonathan Kag stop saying that thing about somewhere in you know,
29:26
who knows a crime could just be about to happen. You're Jensen the
29:30
whole vacation. I'm not superstitious. I don't need to let you know that
29:37
we are nearing the end of the series. We have only three episodes of
29:41
A Life in Your Hands left, and so coming in four weeks is the
29:47
Cases of Mister Ace, starring Hollywood legend George Raft. We'll have that show
29:53
for only two weeks, and then The Adventures of Frank Race will shift to
29:59
Tuesday. As part of some changes we're making. Two are schedule to accommodate
30:03
the five part Yours truly Johnny Doller episodes. All right, well, listener
30:07
comments and feedback. This one actually comes from the Facebook reviews for one of
30:15
the first shows we did, from Donald pat Novak is old time radio at
30:22
its best, harder than hard boiled, the language as quick as a machine
30:26
gun, and just as coldhearted. Yet somehow Pat seems like a good guy,
30:30
despite the lack of evidence he leaves behind on the lonely and centecal streets
30:36
of San Francisco. The host, Adam Graham, has a homey, knowledgeable
30:40
style. His enthusiasm is contagious. He's a fan, not a pro.
30:45
He's all about informative and interesting. Three cheers for Adam, Three cheers for
30:51
Pat Novak. Well, thanks so much, Donald. I'm glad you enjoyed
30:53
Pat Novak, and I hope you listen to some of our other shows.
