1:21
This is the lineup tonight. The Lineup is presented by your nearby Plymouth
1:38
dealer Saturday. He presents the most exciting Plymouth ever built. Before we join
1:49
the lineup, let's eavesdrop on one end of a telephone convert Hello, Chief
1:57
Ryan talking, Yeah, yeah, who did it? Plymouth? Did it?
2:01
Turned out the car sensation of the ear can't get you the whole loadown
2:05
yet? But Saturday's the big day. Yeah, they'll crack it. Then
2:07
the whole mystery surrounding the new Plymouth. Everybody's gonna know on Saturday. What's
2:13
that close? Oh sure, a couple of swell leads For one thing.
2:17
The new Plymouth has safety flow ride. Now take it from me, Chief,
2:22
that is one terrific story. Those Plymouth engineers have come up with a
2:25
tremendous development. Not just the kind of improvement you expect in any new model.
2:34
This is a sensational new idea. And get this payoff. The new
2:37
Plymouth skims over bumps and holes like it was floating, takes the bouncing wallop
2:40
out of those rough roads or you swear you were gliding down a super highway.
2:45
And oh, Chief, gotta cut this off. But remember that lead
2:50
new Plymouth with safety flow ride this coming Saturday. Yeah, Chief, I'll
2:53
keep on it. And we can see the hands. How many men will
3:15
we look at thirty one all together? A man probably won't be any of
3:19
these, but we want to cover every possibility. May I have your attention
3:23
to kill people out there on the side of the wire in the audience room,
3:27
May I have your attentions? Yes, thank you, My name is
3:31
Graham, Sargeant Matt Breb I'll explain the lineup to you. Each of the
3:35
suspects you will see will be numbered. I'll call up a number their name
3:38
and chard. If you have any questions or identification, please renumber the number
3:45
a sign of the prisoner as I call his name at the end of each
3:47
line. When I asked for questions or identification, all up the number.
3:53
If you're sure, I'm not too sure of a suspect, have him held.
3:57
The officers who took your name will assist to their seat. Of them.
4:00
You please be propped with your questions or identifications. When the prisoners leave
4:04
here, they are sent to the bathroom and dress back into bed jail clothes.
4:09
It makes it quite difficult to bring them back after they leave here.
4:12
The questions I asked these suspects, I'm merely to get a natural tone of
4:15
voice, so do not pay too much attention to their answers, as they
4:17
often lie. Bring on the line, okay, man, move on up

8:11
none of your neighbors saw anybody either. Here's a report from the LAMB

8:24
lucky you and the family were in the back of the house. Very lucky.
8:28
Well, we'll do our best to catch whoever it was. And probably
8:31
just a crank man like myself. Politics, public figure, it makes a
8:33
lot of enemies for one reason or another. Maybe this one didn't vote him
8:37

9:31

9:35
and the Meanwhile, we will go and look in this Adams house.
9:56
There's fine kind of man over. He saw that I had a plant at

10:16
move over here where we can talk down. Tell him then it just what
10:22
you saw me, mister club. About four thirty I was working in my
10:24
backyard mowing the lawn. I saw Missus Adams getting a car and drive out
10:28
of the garage. About an hour later, I went around front to get
10:31
the hose and I saw an old truck pull up across the street, right
10:35
over there by lamp post, and I say, tall man, get out,
10:39
kind of an old man, old clothes. Huh. Went around the
10:41
back of the truck and took out something and looked like a box up about
10:46
this big right this thick to the hose and started around back. I noticed
10:50
this man walked across the street with a box, looked like he was heading
10:52
for the Adams house. A couple of hours later, I was sitting in
10:56
my living room and I saw him mister and missus Adams pull up and fund
10:58
the house and go in for a while. Later, my wife and I
11:01
were happened dinner and the explosion happened, busted most of the winners in our
11:05
house. That I didn't think about the old guy without a box, and
11:09
I found out what had happened. And I remembered reading about this at apartment
11:11
yesterday, thinking that the old guy was kind might have been the bomb.
11:16
But can you remember what this old guy looked like? Maybe if I saw
11:20
him again? And what kind of a truck was he driving? Well?
11:22
Real o jeloppy, you know on those pickup Huh? How did you get

it, and they'll after the explosion, I see, Well, can you
11:37
tell us a little bit more about the old guy? All he wore dirty
11:41
cover rolls and another jacket if I remember right, he didn't have a hat
11:45
remebody looked like he needed a haircut. Apartment how I told he was older
11:48

12:24
Uh huh. Probably walked up to the side of the house, stuck the
12:28
bomb into that opening on the foundation there. Surprised nobody saw him. When
12:33
somebody thinks he didn't, Well, you better catch this boy. He hasn't
12:37
killed anybody yet, but he's trying very hard. Who boy, it's getting
13:03
cold. Paper says, snow. How'd you make up with Trump? Oh?

16:12
He's going to be a tough nut. Arresting officers couldn't get a thing out
16:17
of him. We've got men over there talking with people in the State building.
16:21
So far, nobody remember seeing him come in and say his name is
16:23
Lewis Black. Yeah, yeah, driver's license, gave his addresses nineteen ten

16:56
We want to talk to you about those bombings. We know you made those

17:03
them. You're cold and man, yeah, yeah, starting to snow.
17:08
That's right now, Look, why don't you tell us about it? Oh?
17:12
I made him sure why I made him. I don't have to tell
17:18
you why you put one of them under George Hunter's house? Do you know
17:22
him? I know, but you don't know him personally? Nope? Did
17:26
you know Adams? Nope? And why'd you try to go? And I've
17:29
been out of work? Isn't the heating here something? You've been out of
17:33
work long? Yes? Hunter or Adams have something to do with him.
17:37
You sure want to know why I made those bombs, don't. Well,
17:41
we'd like to know. There's no fun being out of work. I haven't
17:44
out of work for a long time. You ever been out of work?
17:45
Yeah? I didn't know. It's no fun. You try to get a
17:48
job. Sure, I couldn't get him when I kept trying, just couldn't
17:52
get one. Look, do we have to fit in here? It's really
17:56
getting cold. We'll get out of here as soon as you tell us all
17:57
about I'm pushing me. I don't like being pushed around. I can stand
18:03
it down as long as you kid, we're not trying to push you.
18:07
Yeah, we don't like this any better than you do. Just a job
18:11
wired us. It'd be somebody else. Okay. If you had a job,
18:15
you'd try to do what the best you could, wouldn't you? Shore
18:18
and I used to have jobs all the time. We always did the best
18:19

18:26
Lowis Pennsylvania. Yeah. I done all kinds of jobs once, and I
18:30
couldn't get at the job. Nobody would give me one. That's the trouble
18:33
is not enough jobs. They ought to do something about getting jobs for people.
18:37
A bunch of dirty politicians. They don't worry about guys like me.
18:40
No, they make speech and oh shure they get it like they don't do
18:42
nothing like Adams and Hunter. You're done right, Adams and Hunter the whole
18:45
budget, even the mayor. Sure, the mayor and the governor. Oh
18:48
he's the worst one of them. Oh he's the biggest. He could do
18:52
something if we wanted to do. When he'd done, he had a job
18:55
in three years. You'd like to take care of the governor like Adams and
18:59

I'm going to take my alarm o'clock strow it as far as I can
27:25
for a moment. Let's listen and again to our friend who's been investigating the
27:27
new Plymouth. Hello, Chief Ryan again, dug up some more foy on
27:32
the new Plymouth safety flow ride. Oh sure, that's the big news.
27:37
Like I said, smooths out bumps and dips just as if they weren't there.
27:40
Oh brother, you never saw anything like that before on any car at
27:44
any price. But get this. Plymouth has a new look too, sleek
27:48
flowing line. I'm sorry I can't get the whole catch on the other important
27:51
new features, but honest, Chief, they've got that New Plymouth wrapped up
27:55
tighter than a mummy, keeping it strictly sewed up until Saturday. But I
27:59
can't tell you this much. The New Plymouth is a real beauty inside and
28:03
out. What's that? Chief? Ah Nah? Now you can't not tell.
28:08
Saturday that's the big day. Then everybody and his brother gets a chance
28:12
to see the New Plymouth in person. And if you want a tip from
28:15
yours truly, hustle on into your neighborhood Plymouth. Deal is Saturday. Piece
28:21
your eyes on the biggest value car in the low priced field, the sensational
28:26
New Plymouth. The lineup or before you passed, the innocent, the vagrant,
28:40
the thief, the murderer. Listen again next week when we again bring
28:44
you the lineup. May I have your attention? Five. You'll be out
28:48
there on the other side of the line in the audience room. May I
28:52
have attention? Thank you. I'm in the scrant sroget Mats Rebom explained the
28:56
mineup to you. Each other suspects you see will wup? Con John do
29:03
you have any first kip d education? The lineup starring Bill Johnstone, is
29:18
Lieutenant Ben Guthrie and Wally Mayor Sergeant Matt Grabb is written by Blake Edwards with
29:22
music by Eddy Dunsteader. Featured in tonight's cast where John McIntyre, Clayton Post,
29:26
Sidney Miller, at beg Ley, Jodoval, Raymond Burr, and Howard
29:29
mcneer. The lineup is produced and directed by himI Delbayer. The lineup was
29:40
brought to you by your Plymouth dealer. Remember you have a date Saturday at
29:42
his Plymouth show room to see the most exciting Plymouth ever built. Saturday's the
29:48
day Plymouth's the car Damn Coverley speaking, this is CBS. The Stars addressed
29:56
the Columbia Broadcasting System. Welcome back. Well. I have to say this
30:22
episode draws to my mind. You know, once again another Dragnet comparison to
30:29
the Dragnet episode the Human Bomb. This one kind of escalated the danger and
30:34
risk with a time bomb that was going off, as opposed to the Dragnet
30:40
story which had somebody controlling a bomb in their hand. I have to wonder
30:45
about the risk they took here because it seems like Gussrie and Grabs risk their
30:52
lives on the basis of he couldn't really be that crazy. Opening that the
31:00
who planted the momb wasn't nutty too enough to be willing to go off with
31:04
it, though I suppose it's possible they could have gone ahead and made a
31:08
quick exit if they found out, Yes, in need, he is that
31:12
crazy. Thankfully for them, he wasn't also good to see a corporate sponsorship
31:18
and an interesting, albeit slightly cheesy, attempt to make the ads for the
31:23
new Chevrolet fit into the theme of the show. All right, well,
31:27
we turn out a listener comment and feedback, and we start off with Lisa,
31:36
who comments, I'm hi, Adam. I'm currently working through Johnny Doller
31:41
and finished up Candy Matson a while ago. I really enjoy your comments and
31:45
now when I listen to other podcasts that don't have comments, I miss keep
31:49
up the good work. Thank you, Lisa, and we'll and Lisa,
31:56
as I mentioned at the start of the show, is one of those who
31:59
contributed the show. Sandra also was and she says thanks for all the podcast
32:04
and observations you have on on OTR. Well, thank you so much for
32:08
your comments and your support. Now we move on to some other listener comments.
32:13
Mark comments. In the Jersey Parallel episode, they had the psycho killer
32:19
cornered at the boarding house. While the policeman was talking to the landlady,
32:22
you could hear the whistler playing in on the radio in the background. Is
32:25
the whistler possibility of a future Great Detectives time slot? The theme whistle is
32:30
an eerie, haunting theme piece. Awesome sauce from Sparky in Specific Beach,
32:38
California. Well, I'll tell you the problem with the whistler. First of
32:45
all, I think there's a great artistic value to the whistler. Two big
32:51
problems with the whistler not really a detective show. Second part is well,
32:57
I like it in small doses. I can kind I can kind of get
33:02
to a point where I don't like walking around following a killer's point of view
33:08
forever. You deal with some very disturbing heads, you know, getting inside
33:15
those heads when you listen to the whistler. Yeah, comments he has.
33:20
You could offer a video cam of you airing a show for deluxe membership.
33:23
It would take a significant contribution to get me to consider putting up a webcam
33:34
early. I'm just a little bit self conscious in my area is a little
33:37
crowded, cluttered, and not certain I would want it featured on a video.
33:43
Actually, I'm pretty certain I wouldn't. Keeping the audio only from my
33:46
perspective manages to keep your existence or farience with the program clutter three. Well,
33:54
thanks for the suggestion. We have a comment from Kathleen on Facebook Rights
34:00
regarding the last episode of A Life in Your Hand. I quite enjoyed these
34:06
episodes in all the ways. He managed to say, Amigas CURII in what
34:09
it was. That's very true, Kathleen, And for those members of our
34:14
audience who didn't listen to A Life in Your Hands. And Amigas Curia is
34:19
a friend of the court, representing neither prosecution nor defended, but acting in
34:23
the interests of justice, and Jonathan Kaye would use his powers of cross examination
34:30
to get at the truth. And thus that's an example of how they did
34:35
it on A Life in Your Hands. Two more comments from Facebook. Luis
34:38
right, it's a love great detectives of old time radio. We never turned
34:43
on the TV anymore. Thanks Adam and Emilio. Comments from down there in
34:49
Boise, Idaho, USA to the world. You have an old time radio
34:54
fan here in the city port of Las Seba. I hope I'm pronouncing that
35:00
right. Republic of Honduras. Keep the good old times rocking on iTunes.
35:06
Love every podcast, specially Johnny Doller. Well, then he'll definitely be liking
35:12
what we have coming up in just a week or so, when after next
35:17
week we'll be looking at three days of Johnny Dollers, So be looking forward
35:24
to that, all right, Well, that we'll do it for today.
35:30
We will be back tomorrow. Is a special to celebrate nine hundred episodes.
35:36
It is a very unique show, not something we typically do, as we
35:39
mix two another great genre with the detective genre, and we'll see what we
35:45
get. Join us tomorrow for episode nine O two s and then be back
35:51
here next Saturday for another episode of the lineup. In the meantimes, Andrew
