  Jolly, I'm glad you can make it, Johnny, Yeah, do that?
• 7:09
  Yeah? Hey, Well for what I hear, Ben, you're having
• 7:13
  a pretty rough time. Oh I suppose my own fault, Johnny walking into
• 7:16
  a project like this without knowing more about it. How deep have you gone
• 7:20
  into this way? Oh? My two dude, Johnny twod all in all
• 7:23
  I've spent nearly forty thousand. That's it's about all I have, and most
• 7:27
  of us had to go for replacing my herd. Her Yeah, I heard
• 7:30
  of chickens song, and I thought it'd be so easy, you know,
• 7:33
  just buy a few hundred chicken, Yeah, throw them some feet like the
• 7:36
  eggs, collect the money, Yes, and I'd be fixed up for a
• 7:39
  lot. Oh dear, there are more diseases the chicken can catch. You're
• 7:43
  more lice and bugs, and there is Hey, Ben, you uh,
• 7:46
  you said somebody something about somebody's trying to put you out of business side Johnny,
• 7:50
  and I am sure of it. But why, I don't know.
• 7:53
  I didn't know I had an enemy in the world. What's going wrong?
• 7:56
  We'll just waiting to see when I heard the chickens And if you don't agree
• 7:59
  with me, who I'm sure with me about what? That they're being poisoned
• 8:05
  by home? I think kind of you see well, by somebody would like
• 8:09
  to see me ego broke so that he could buy you out cheap. Who
• 8:13
  Ben, I'll tell you who, because he wants to add my property to
• 8:16
  his. And he's right next door. And his name is Joe Rim Zulie
• 8:26
  fact tool off yours truly, Johnny Dollar in a moment, and now for
• 8:30
  another episode in the life of Progeant Donald Bellweather. My husband riba, riba,
• 8:43
  what is it? Donald can't found and Rebe can't find the fountain fan.
• 8:48
  I've looked all through this desk. Here it is. You must have
• 8:52
  used it as a marker when you were reading this book. See this great
• 8:56
  literary classic six gun showdown at Powder River Gully. All right, never mind
• 9:01
  about my reading habits. Just look at the coverage we're going to get with
• 9:03
  this new auto accident policy. Let's see, we have collision fifty dollars deductible.
• 9:09
  All right, that's public live building, property damage, medical benefits.
• 9:13
  Brotherwoods, we have complete coverage. That's right. Of course, it's been
• 9:16
  a cost as money. I'm sending the company a check right now. Gee,
• 9:20
  it's too bad we don't live in Rhode Island. Rude Island. What
• 9:24
  Oh, because then our rate to be lower. Rhode Island has less accidents
• 9:26
  per capita than any other state. Oh, which state has the highest?
• 9:31
  Oh we see, yeah, huh here it is Nevada. No body,
• 9:33
  I mean Nevada's second highest. Alaska has the most really, I didn't know
• 9:37
  that. You know, it's just too bad. We can't eliminate traffic accidents
• 9:41
  completely. Not only would it saved life and land, but it'll be a
• 9:43
  lot less straight in the pocketbook. Yeah, that's for sure. These automobile
• 9:48
  accident polities get more expensive every year just because there's so many costly accidents.
• 9:52
  Well, I'm glad we've got some good insurance coverage, Donald, but just
• 9:54
  remember one thing. Oh what's that? Well, some auto accidents ruin a
• 9:58
  fender in the family. It's true, very true. But as far as
• 10:03
  I'm concerned, I don't want any of your old insurance money. I want
• 10:07
  you here at home, safe and sound. We'll always drive carefully, won't
• 10:11
  you will be? That's my Donald, that's my Donald. No act too
• 10:28
  of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar and the sick chick matter. Then you're
• 10:39
  assurance, Joel and Julie. I'm gonna kill off your flop. But you
• 10:43
  want to business your insine and I'm sure, but just waiting to see him,
• 10:48
  Johnny, I have got the sickest her the chickens you ever saw.
• 10:52
  Okay, Beny, let's take a look at them. I'm afraid I don't
• 10:54
  know much about the credit. You don't have to. Anybody could tell just
• 10:56
  anybody. Come on, come on, have you talked with a red about
• 11:01
  sure? I have the finest vat in the caddy too. Doctor gold Haft,
• 11:05
  why he has a regularlaboratories, knowing all in the world. He's the
• 11:07
  one that cured him with the colera and the hepatitis and the sinoditis and the
• 11:11
  cock of the titus. Closest Johnny, after I've called him in so many
• 11:16
  times, he even gave me a book. A book, Yes he did,
• 11:18
  so that i'd know what all the diseases were, and well, so
• 11:22
  I wouldn't have to make him drive all the way out here when I'd just
• 11:26
  forgotten to give the hens they laying man sure or enough water or something like
• 11:30
  that. You'd forget me. Well, no, wonder you've had trouble with
• 11:33
  your fly. And I guess I was kind of nuisance still too, But
• 11:37
  I did so want my herd to be a good woman. Lay a lot
• 11:41
  of eggs for me? Or what does the vets say about what ails them?
• 11:45
  Now? Well, I haven't told him. You haven't told him,
• 11:48
  and said I'm gonna fold. I still know him. Was a pretty big
• 11:50
  bold. Yeah. But look, man, I looked in the book.
• 11:54
  I looked in the book, Johnny, and there's nothing in it about the
• 11:56
  way they are. There is not a word. And that's why I sent
• 12:01
  for you. But then I told you I don't know anything about them.
• 12:03
  Of course, if you're right, if they're being poisoned. Oh, let's
• 12:07
  take a look at it. Yes, yes, you'll see, you'll see.
• 12:13
  You get a nice looking layout. I'll say that, nice new houses
• 12:16
  from they fenced in yards or whatever you call them. And there's plenty of
• 12:20
  wrong for them. Oh yeah, yeah, yes, see, you see
• 12:26
  they're also sad looking. They're just so sad and petulant because there they're holding
• 12:31
  against me for whatever it was, and it was cool little things. So
• 12:37
  help, bunny, I've never seen it. The chickens ever suffer from the
• 12:41
  blind staggers in the blind step. But I mean my horses get old,
• 12:43
  No, sir, No, I'm sure, because it isn't in the book.
• 12:46
  If it isn't in the book. Yeah, and you're sure you haven't
• 12:50
  been spiking they're drinking water with some of your private styles, Why of course
• 12:54
  not, Johnny. You know you are my one insurance contact. But always
• 12:58
  suggested the never that bottle you're getting it's oh now, john boy, he's
• 13:03
  chicken shore loock. Hey, you said you feed him a laying man.
• 13:07
  It's right here this ship, he say, Come on, but what are
• 13:11
  you thinking about? Oh? Any of that stuff should get good and wet
• 13:13
  and for met Oh no, no, no, it's is sweet and drys
• 13:16
  the day I've bought it from Jake Rubenofah, and I see there, you
• 13:20
  see what I mean. Where's Jake Rubinof. He's the biggest feed deal in
• 13:24
  time. Yeah, certainly smells all right, It is all right, Oh
• 13:28
  noses, donny, my herd has been poisoned. And you suspect you're and
• 13:33
  CILLI on the next part. Of course, wasn't he one of the people
• 13:37
  who tried to help you get started when you first came down. Oh sure,
• 13:39
  sure, sure, yes you pretended to. But I can see now
• 13:41
  it is just to look over my nice place. See how much you can
• 13:46
  get his hands on when I go broke, or if you had some concrete
• 13:48
  reason for thinking he might be poisoning your font. I've seen him, yes,
• 13:52
  I have. I've seen him in my own eyes. Come right over
• 13:54
  here at night several time and scatter something over the fence into my tents out
• 14:01
  of a big sack. That was it. Now the time was daylight and
• 14:03
  I could see the chickens eat me. You're sure it was Renzula? Of
• 14:07
  course I am. Oh, sure, Dan, I'm going over and talk
• 14:11
  with him. I went back to the farm next door. I found Joe
• 14:18
  and Zuli one of his sheds. It's tall, husky and well tanned.
• 14:20
  He was hard at work building some kind of an affair with a large wooden
• 14:22
  frame. There. He's a finish. Like I say, mister thoughter,
• 14:28
  you're keeping the chickens in the cage up off the ground. They're more healthy.
• 14:33
  You get them more fack bruting a better price in the market. Yeah.
• 14:39
  How you like that? Eh? I asked you a question, mister
• 14:41
  Nzuoli, I had like an answer. No, all right, all right,
• 14:46
  I tell you I think you better. He's because I try to help
• 14:50
  the poor man without he's a find out. So I thought over the fence
• 14:54
  at night when he's an o C flow water over the fence. Wow,
• 14:58
  yeah, I'm more, he said. Suck you see in this one x
• 15:05
  l N see why the girls suffer. That's right. Invitamins find them.
• 15:09
  He's a chickens, they're sick. You don't know what to do. He's
• 15:13
  a waste dollars of money. He's a nice palace, or I help him.
• 15:18
  You're sure that bag doesn't contain some kind of poison oisison? Yeah?
• 15:22
  No, what'd you get that stuff? Jack Rubin or feed store? What
• 15:24
  do you try to accuse me of? Nothing? Yet, I'm gonna try
• 15:28
  to help the poor man, that's all. You don't like round? I
• 15:30
  want to sample of that. Sure, they go there want So what are
• 15:33
  you gonna do? It's too late now, But in the morning, I'm
• 15:35
  gonna take it into town to the feet Price and check on it. You
• 15:37
  go ahead and believe me if there's anything wrong with it, I'm coming back
• 15:39
  here with the police in tall if at least you better talk right so they
• 15:43
  you don't understand. You don't know. It's smaller pates like this. You
• 15:48
  gotta stay friends with everybody. Huh. You make trouble for people. It's
• 15:52
  no good. What are you talking about. Your neighbor's a your friend,
• 15:56
  Oh sure, just like you're a good friend of Ben Pringle. Yeah,
• 16:00
  but you're protecting somebody who's poisoning his chicken. That's that big a lie.
• 16:03
  Now, what's all this trouble talk? Why are you so afraid I'll bring
• 16:06
  the police out here? And I'm not I mean, or maybe you've done
• 16:10
  something you're afraid they'll tag you for. Is that it? No? I
• 16:12
  just want fact remains. You know something about Ben Pringle's trouble with his fly?
• 16:15
  Tell you what you've told me? Nothing, Okay, I'll find out
• 16:19
  for myself. Ah, good, that's good. Huh. You know,
• 16:25
  living here, you find out, that's all the right, that's the good.
• 16:27
  Find out what you you find out. And that's all I could get
• 16:36
  out of him. And on the way back to ben Pringle's farm, I
• 16:38
  suddenly began to wonder if I hadn't stepped into something more than just a bunch
• 16:41
  of sick chicks, you know something. As it turned out, I certainly
• 16:45
  had act free of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar In a moment, do
• 17:07
  you know who said absolute freedom of the press to discuss public questions is a
• 17:11
  foundation stone of American liberty? Those words were said by former President Herbert Hoover.
• 17:19
  Mister Hooper was well aware of the important role that freedom of the press
• 17:22
  had played in the creation and growth of the United States of America. You
• 17:27
  realize that without freedom of the press, no democratic form of government could exist.
• 17:33
  One of the first steps in the pact toward totalitarianism is the creation of
• 17:37
  a controlled press. A free press hampers the work of a potential dictator.
• 17:44
  When the press is free, the people of a country are free. When
• 17:48
  the press is not free, the people of a country are in danger of
• 17:52
  slavery. Remember the words of Herbert Hoover. They are part of your American
• 17:59
  heritage. Freedom of the press. He's a foundation stone of American liberty,
• 18:06
  and no Act three of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar and the Sick Chick
• 18:10
  matter. By the time I got back to Ben Pringle's place, he had
• 18:21
  spread something that passed for supper on the kitchen. Say who, I just
• 18:26
  helped yourself here, Johnny. There's plenty more in stone. If I don't
• 18:29
  look the best Candean Jewel greet, Yeah, you'd have some kitchen. Hey.
• 18:36
  Look, man, as I told you, I got nothing out of
• 18:37
  Joe and Zuli except the powerful feeling that he's protecting one of your neighbors around
• 18:41
  here. Well, you know how it is out in the country. This
• 18:45
  way, Jenny, A man who tells on his neighbors when he's he's an
• 18:48
  out cast. Hey, maybe that's why Ronzuli didn't mind if I could find
• 18:52
  out what's going on here for myself. I still think he's doing it.
• 18:56
  Yes, whose place is that? On the other side, I noticed a
• 19:00
  brand new Lincoln out frock. Oh oh, yes, well he's a nice
• 19:03
  young man. Oh he's real nice. Now what's his name now, John
• 19:07
  Culpepper. He came up here from myself, I can tell that. But
• 19:10
  the way he talks, what's you do? Oh? He just lives there,
• 19:14
  Yes, only he has some of the gayest parties young or he went
• 19:19
  to June. Oh no, wonder you like him if you can sprown drinks
• 19:22
  from him? Oh? Well, I have tried to drop it, and
• 19:25
  I'm nine, eh, but he's always just shoved a bottle in my hand
• 19:29
  and told me to come back here and enjoy it by myself. And who
• 19:33
  am I to refuse a nice gesture like that? Barning back of his place?
• 19:37
  Horses Karl Oh no, no, No animals are any kind and it's
• 19:42
  a funny thing. Now. Well, well, I'm a very sound sleepy
• 19:45
  you know, Johnny very bad, I'm sure I've heard some big trucks pulling
• 19:48
  in there at night, and I've often wondered about it. Well, damn,
• 19:52
  I just went right back to sleep. Find if you got a fly
• 19:55
  shot I can use. Sure, Jenny, I have, I'll get it
• 19:57
  for you too. Why what are you gonna do? Let's uh call it
• 20:02
  a little exploring. The night was warm, and some of Ben's chickens were
• 20:08
  still out in the yard. They were gathered by a section of the fence
• 20:12
  right next to the neighbor, mister Culpcover's barn. And I noticed something else,
• 20:17
  a well worn path from that barn to the fence. I mean,
• 20:22
  prievely as possible. I climbed over the fence and worked my way to the
• 20:25
  barn. There was a light on somewhere inside of it. And then then
• 20:30
  you caught it, A think piercing odor that I hadn't smelled. So help
• 20:34
  me, since I'd worked on a case down on the hillbilly country of Kentucky,
• 20:37
  I sneaked over to a crack at one of the barn doors. Inside
• 20:41
  I could see cases and cases of bottles and the outline of a huge copper
• 20:47
  still moonshot hands. Helm Huh, don't I'll blow your head off revenue.
• 20:56
  I've seen you poking around Renzulus and Springles today and I figured you might be
• 20:59
  dropping. No, keep your hands up on it. Look, cal Pepper,
• 21:02
  Oh you look. If you'll reach inside the pocket of my jacket,
• 21:04
  you'll find a card case that will show you a whole and what I am?
• 21:07
  You know I might just do that. Now, don't you try anything
• 21:11
  funny. You can right up over your head if you like this flash,
• 21:15
  don't move. There's enough light coming through the crack in this floor. Now
• 21:19
  you stand still about Johnny Dollar Insurance investigated? That's right? And what are
• 21:29
  you doing here? Col Pepper? The only interest I have in your still
• 21:32
  is what it's doing to Ben Pringle's chicken? What's that? And then getting
• 21:37
  this gun away? You know how you look, and we could deal with
• 21:42
  you seeing a couple of thousand dollars to keep your mouth shut about my still.
• 21:47
  I told you I don't care about your still, and I don't get
• 21:49
  it. That's out of my bailey. Wake all I care about it?
• 21:53
  Wait a minute, you make whisky? Got a mash? Have you've been
• 22:00
  dumping sommer mash over Pringles fence? Sure to destroy the animal holy smooth.
• 22:07
  Then all that's wrong with Ben's chickens is that they're drunk boiled to the guild.
• 22:12
  You need to say that, old youth today, I mean to say,
• 22:17
  Now, come on, I think you and Ben had better have a
• 22:18
  little talk. So they talked, Ben and Culpepper. In exchange for not
• 22:27
  being reported, Culpepper agreed to pay my expense account, Ben's vedinary bills and
• 22:32
  a move out of the county. Oh. I suppose I should have known
• 22:34
  to buy the local authorities of what was going on. But isn't that really
• 22:37
  a job for the company after all? Like I said, it is out
• 22:41
  of my Bailey way. And you know something, the stuff Culpepper was turning
• 22:45
  out that ol'brian wasn't half bad. Expense acount total to the company. Nothing
• 22:51
  yours to lead, Johnny Dollar, yours truly. Johnny Dollar is starring Bob
• 23:11
  Bailey, originates in Hollywood and is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, who
• 23:15
  also wrote today's story. Heard in our cast were Lucille Meredith, Howard mcneer,
• 23:18
  Gil Stratton, Jack Moyles, and Sam Edwards. Be sure to join
• 23:22
  us next week, same time and station or another exciting story of yours truly,
• 23:26
  Johnny Dollery. This is Dan Coverly speaking, yours truly. Johnny Dollar
• 24:41
  has been a presentation of the United States Armed Forces Radio and Television Service,
• 25:37
  welcome back. Well, I have to say, I don't know how happy
• 25:42
  the insurance company will be with that settlement. What kind of awkward when it
• 25:48
  comes for if an auditor comes in, Well, why didn't Dollar turn in
• 25:55
  an expense account on this case requests months? Oh, that's okay. His
• 26:00
  expense account was paid by a bootlegger. It's blackmail money, so it's all
• 26:04
  good for auditing purposes. I did search for the man who called Johnny.
• 26:11
  I was searching all over to find out what episode he was in before,
• 26:15
  but he didn't actually appear to be in any specific episode, just one of
• 26:22
  those friends of Johnny they right in every now and again. Also city of
• 26:29
  Vineland very interesting because I don't generally associate New Jersey with ruralness and agriculture.
• 26:38
  So I looked up on this and it turns out that Vineland, New Jersey,
• 26:44
  used to be a big center for egg production. However, with new
• 26:49
  technology basically ended up driving down the cost of eggs and really took a bite
• 26:59
  out of the poultry industry there, so it's no longer that dominant force that
• 27:04
  it once was. Also, we had another episode with that couple that's always
• 27:12
  concerned about car accidents definite Lady, I do a good job of raising some
• 27:18
  concerns and even making some of the statistics seem interesting. I found myself curious
• 27:25
  what Idaho statistics were back in nineteen probably sometime in the sixties, since they
• 27:30
  referenced Alaska as being a state. Though in real life a couple that talks
• 27:36
  this much about auto accidents that might be a little bit much. But at
• 27:41
  any rate, we do turn to some listener comments and feedback, and we
• 27:47
  do have this one regarding episode fifteen sixty seven, the eleven o'clock matter,
• 27:53
  Sean says, love Johnny Dollar. Is it just me or does the ending
• 27:59
  seem rather abrupt? Well, I'll listen to it again. The ending didn't
• 28:03
  seem especially abrupt. But there is a sense when we're going to these sort
• 28:11
  of full length mysteries told in twenty minutes or twenty two minutes whatever, that
• 28:18
  people do ten to rush, so you do get some rushed innings, but
• 28:25
  this one didn't seem especially so anymore. Than most other of these shorter links
• 28:30
  stories. All right, well, that will do it for today. We
• 28:34
  will be back tomorrow with Dragnette. Next Friday another episode of Yours Truly Johnny
• 28:41
  Dollar, and coming next Tuesday, it's the Adventures of Ellery Queen. In
