  Now it's time to take a listen to the conclusion of the Nick shar
• 1:11
  matter from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dollar. Johnny Dollar. Spell
• 1:19
  it j ol h n n y d O l l a R. That's
• 1:30
  not right. You forgot to capitalize. You're right, honey. Let me
• 1:34
  hear you spell your name, okay, capital j I L L jill,
• 1:41
  capital O apostrophe, apostrophe and never can see that capital d a r e
• 1:49
  oh dare. Of course, my last name is actually something else I forget,
• 1:53
  but my mother says I'm really an o' dare. Not the least doubt
• 1:57
  about it. I could see it in a minute. I like you,
• 2:00
  Johnny Dollar, and I kind of like you too, Joel Dear. I
• 2:05
  think my mother's pretty. I think she's lovely. Why don't you get married
• 2:10
  to her so I can have a daddy. Well, that's it's certainly something
• 2:15
  to think about and not a bad idea. Now, I'll be quiet before
• 2:21
  you wake her up. I'm already awaken with a plot like that being hatched,
• 2:24
  I think I better stay awake. Is there coffee? Johnny Tonight and
• 2:37
  Every Weekday Night, Bob Bailey and the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the
• 2:40
  Action Packed Expense Account America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator, Truly Johnny Dollar. From
• 2:57
  Special Investigator Johnny Dollar. Location a small cabin in the timber outside Branbury,
• 3:01
  Michigan to the home office Trimutual Insurance Limited, Hartford, Connecticut. Assignment the
• 3:07
  Nike Suran Matter expense account, final page item fifteen one million dollars for a
• 3:14
  certain feeling. I realize, of course, that the amount of this item
• 3:17
  is somewhat unusual. It may be caused for mild criticism by your accounting department
• 3:23
  unless the accompanying report includes an adequate and detailed explanation. Therefore, to avoid
• 3:28
  unecessary correspondence of delay, I am attaching said explanation herewith here's your coffee cantyday.
• 3:38
  How long did I sleep, Johnny? Oh? A couple of hours.
• 3:42
  It's around four in the morning. Storm hasn't let up at all,
• 3:45
  has it? Oh? It's worse if anything. Still, Honey, it's
• 3:50
  four o'clock in the morning and your eyes are just about to fall out.
• 3:53
  Now you go back there and go to sleep. Do I have to move?
• 3:57
  You have to long now, mister hony dollar. And you were having
• 4:00
  a lot of fun till you look well, that's life, Sadie night now,
• 4:04
  good night, chill night. Proud of her. I'm crazy about her,
• 4:12
  that's what you mean. She's a great little girl. She's the only
• 4:16
  thing I ever did in my whole life that turned out right that bad?
• 4:20
  Huh, Johnny, it's no good. I know why you're here. I
• 4:27
  know what you expect from me, and the answer is no. You're jumping
• 4:30
  the gun. I haven't asked you anything. You will, You haven't done
• 4:32
  all this for nothing. You're going to ask me to come back to New
• 4:35
  York and testify against Nick Sharon. I might ask you to tell the truth.
• 4:41
  Is that just another way of wording. I didn't see anything, hear
• 4:45
  anything. I don't know anything about it, and I have nothing to say.
• 4:49
  So nixt Sharon gets away with another murder, I wouldn't know anything about
• 4:54
  that, And sooner or later, of course he'll kill you. Cho He
• 4:57
  sent Benny Stark out to do it, and Benny missed. But he's he
• 5:00
  got other boys, or he might even handle the job himself. Why by
• 5:03
  now he ought to know that. I'm not going to tell, but there's
• 5:05
  always that chance you might change your mind that Nick's a gambler, but he
• 5:09
  likes the odds on his side. He doesn't take chances. Whenever he can,
• 5:13
  he stacks that deck. I wish I could help you, Johnny,
• 5:18
  but I don't know anything about it. I left before it happened. How
• 5:23
  long have you worked for Nick Sharon? Known him two years. I'm not
• 5:28
  wide eyed about him, Johnny. I've heard what he's been what he may
• 5:32
  even still be a gangster, hoodlum, racketeer. But that's none of my
• 5:38
  business. The club was legitimate. My job there was on the level and
• 5:43
  he never got out of line once and now Dott He's always been kind to
• 5:46
  his mother and loves dogs and children. I wouldn't know except children. He's
• 5:51
  crazy about them. He was always buying something for Jill, asking about her.
• 5:56
  And they also shot and killed Milk Precker. I couldn't say, I
• 6:01
  see, well, you're letting a lot of people down, people here in
• 6:08
  Branbury that you grew up with, people that love you, your father,
• 6:11
  Dan Martin. What have they got to do with it? You know,
• 6:13
  it's a great country up here. I'd like to spend more time in it.
• 6:16
  And it's a big country, big and beautiful and dangerous like that blizzard
• 6:21
  outside there. It's not the kind of country that turns out cowards. Cowards.
• 6:28
  Your father said something yesterday that some people belong in cudies and some don't,
• 6:33
  and that you're one of the second kind. He was right. The
• 6:36
  city's made a coward of you. You don't understand. They know it,
• 6:40
  oh, Mike, Dan, all of them. Of course they'll never mention
• 6:43
  it, but you're letting them down, and they know it, and you'll
• 6:46
  know it, Kathy. They don't have a daughter, to think of it.
• 6:48
  It's not her fear we're talking about. It's yours, all right,
• 6:51
  I'm scared. I've got reason to be. It's easy for you to talk.
• 6:55
  You don't know what fear is, what it can do to you.
• 6:58
  I don't. It can push you and drive you and make you do things
• 7:00
  you hate yourself for, and it can destroy it. How would you know?
• 7:03
  How would any of them know? Who haven't felt it, who haven't
• 7:06
  been there? Nanthy, You are not alone. We've all been there.
• 7:11
  It's not the fear that's important, it's the courage you bring up to fight
• 7:15
  it. I've tried, I've I've nearly gotten crazy trying to think it out.
• 7:19
  But it always comes back to one thing. Jill. She is what
• 7:23
  counts. Nothing else matters. And if you love her, teacher to grow
• 7:27
  up without fear, sacrifice anything. If you have to weave in your life,
• 7:30
  but teach your courage. There's nothing greater you could do for all right?
• 7:38
  All right? Sorry, I knew what was right, Johnny. I
• 7:45
  knew old time. Sure, Cush, you did. All you needed was
• 7:48
  a little push. I want to tell me about it now. I I
• 7:57
  was here at the club that night when it happened. I stayed after closing
• 8:03
  I had some presents for Jill and I wanted to wrap them before I took
• 8:05
  them home. Nick and mil Priker were upstairs in the office. Nick was
• 8:09
  there, Yes, I could hear them arguing they didn't know I'd stayed.
• 8:13
  And then go on. I heard Mel yell out. He said no,
• 8:18
  Nick, No, And then I heard the shots. Yes, I didn't
• 8:22
  even think. I ran up to the office. Mel was lying on the
• 8:26
  floor and Nick was standing there with a gun. He told me to get
• 8:28
  out and to keep quiet. I wanted to keep on living. That's it.
• 8:35
  Yes. Will you make a statement to the police, testify at the
• 8:37
  trial. Yes, I'm going. Will you help me, Johnny? Will
• 8:46
  you stand by me? You know I will. You've got too, because
• 8:48
  I'm scared. I'll be scared all the way, but I'll do it if
• 8:54
  you will help me. I'll help you. Kathy all away. Why don't
• 8:58
  you curl up here and get some Come on, maybe, No, I
• 9:03
  can't sleep. It's going to be all right, thanks Johnny giving me the
• 9:11
  push. Oh sure, honey, you know something, Johnny. I'm with
• 9:18
  Jill. I like you too. She went to sleep with a face against
• 9:26
  my chest, and after a while, little Jill came tiptoeing in and curled
• 9:31
  up on the other side, and I sat there holding them both, thinking
• 9:37
  and waiting for the dawn. So that's what I mean about a million dollar
• 9:41
  feeling. True, it wasn't my little girl or my big girl either,
• 9:48
  but for the moment at least, well, that item still goes. I'll
• 9:54
  still tag that feeling at one million dollars. And I was sorry when the
• 10:01
  storm was over and a rescue party came up from town because I felt I'd
• 10:07
  had one moment in a lifetime that I'd never find again. Good went this
• 10:13
  last look on the beast. Steed went the small name. The big event
• 10:18
  of the year in Bramburry was the Christmas Eve show in the town hall.
• 10:22
  There was music and a pageant and singing, and everybody took part in it,
• 10:26
  from the youngest kid in town to the toughest old grizzled lumberjack from the
• 10:30
  back hills. Jill was in the children's chorus and old Mike was to operate
• 10:33
  the spotlights, so they went on ahead. I took Kathy, and since
• 10:37
  she wasn't quite ready to face people yet, we made a point of getting
• 10:39
  there late. I didn't care when we got there. As long as I
• 10:43
  was with her. We slipped in quietly and took seats at the back of
• 10:48
  the room. The string group from the high school orchestra was playing, and
• 10:52
  no one noticed us, not even Old Mike, Kathy's father, who was
• 10:54
  working the spotlights. I hope Jill dzar. She haven't had any time to
• 11:00
  practice with him, or she'll do all right. We'd been there about ten
• 11:05
  minutes when somebody else came in and slid into the one seat between us and
• 11:07
  the door. I didn't look around until I felt Kathy stiffen beside me.
• 11:13
  It was Nick Shern. Nobody gets excited now, makes any sudden moves.
• 11:16
  We just sat here quietly. He slid his hand over the feeling inside my
• 11:20
  coat under my arm. Now back in a runner perfect. I'd left my
• 11:24
  gun at Kathy's household. Mike had been deweyous about it, but with Benny
• 11:28
  dead, I'd seen no reason to carry it. And after all, it
• 11:31
  was Christmas Eve, all right. Never was gonna ease out of here now,
• 11:33
  and I'd attract no attention from any breaths. And just don't forget one
• 11:39
  thing, though, and that homelys gun. I knew saying, right at
• 11:43
  the miller Kathy's back. Let's go, no choice, Cathy, Come on,
• 11:50
  the back of the room was dark. Nobody paid any attention. Somebody
• 11:54
  was always leaving or coming back in. Come on, I got a car
• 12:03
  over at the side here, Johnny, watch your dollar. We'll be right
• 12:09
  back. Mike. Just gonna get some here, all right, Johnny,
• 12:13
  But don't go running out before I give you your present. Huh here,
• 12:18
  and don't uncork that until you're ready for some serious business. All right,
• 12:22
  I'll read Thanks Mike, Thanks a lot, don't mention it. Good luck,
• 12:26
  Johnny. Hell, come on, let's get away from here, Johnny,
• 12:33
  get easy case, Joe'll go back an tell me you're coming here to
• 12:41
  hear me sing? Listen? Please, did your hands on your pocket?
• 12:48
  Pick me up? Look, Jill, you run alone? Now, who's
• 12:54
  that Dan Martin? He's a deputy sheriff and he's a dead shot. Better
• 12:58
  do like she says, Nick, take your hand out of her pocket and
• 13:00
  pick her up all. I had reached in my pocket, Johnny and taken
• 13:09
  my gun. Later, Kathy and I walked around outside. We could still
• 13:22
  hear the children's cars singing inside. Jill saved our lives. No, she
• 13:31
  saved Nick's life. What do you mean that present your father gave me Up
• 13:35
  there at the spotlights, he could see what was happening, and he thought
• 13:39
  real fast that present was a gun. I had Nick covered from the time
• 13:45
  we stepped off the porch. I'm glad he didn't move. I'm glad it
• 13:48
  happened like it did. Yeah, so am. I thought we'd never see
• 13:54
  those stars up there again. You kept holding yourself, Kathy. You showed
• 13:58
  a lot of courage. No, but maybe I can learn to show it.
• 14:05
  I was just thinking, Johnny, looking at the stars up there,
• 14:11
  there was fear in the world again two years ago, and he had courage.
• 14:26
  Expense account had him sixteen two hundred and thirty dollars and forty cents incidentals
• 14:30
  and branburry and transportation for two adults and one child Branburry to New York.
• 14:35
  Expense account total four hundred and eighty six dollars and twenty cents. End of

• 17:30
  Well Now for something completely different, The Lady was Lethal. Part two Catta
• 17:45
  Brown Mysteries, Adventures and Excitement and Suspense, based on the best selling novels
• 17:53
  by the slick storytelling sensation Gotta Brown. Any person in the private eye profession
• 18:21
  runs the risk of saturn death. But the death of Hank Williams, my
• 18:23
  pal and partner in the firm of Williams and Eton, came as a double
• 18:27
  shock because Hank had wired me that he was onto something big, and when
• 18:32
  I got back, it was too late to ask him what it was.
• 18:34
  Also, Hank was a guy who never put anything on paper, so I
• 18:37
  had nothing to give me a lead. But I found that it involved a
• 18:41
  muscular male named Tiny Lavin and a mean mobstacle Babyface Brill. It also seemed
• 18:48
  to involve the singer at the Booze Club, a girl named Chili, who
• 18:52
  was anything. But you're the man who sent the waiter with the message,
• 18:56
  that's right, you wanted to talk to me about Hank Williams. Yes,
• 19:00
  he was my partner. I'm Johnny Eaton, glad to know you. Johnny.
• 19:04
  I'm even glad to know you. Oh why look in your mirror for
• 19:10
  a couple of good reasons, Chili, you knew Hank, didn't you.
• 19:15
  Uh huh? When did you last see him? Two maybe three days ago?
• 19:18
  I'm not sure why nothing's happened to him. Has it only one thing?
• 19:22
  He's dead? No, Oh, that's not true. It can't be.
• 19:26
  I'm afraid it can and it is. This afternoon, Hank, he
• 19:33
  wouldn't listen to me. I told him it was dangerous. What was whatever
• 19:37
  he was doing. He kept telling me he was onto something big, that
• 19:38
  he was saving it for his partner. But I knew it was dangerous by
• 19:41
  the way he talked, dangerous enough to kill him. You know a guy
• 19:45
  named Levin tiny Lavan, I've heard the name somewhere comes into this club.
• 19:49
  They tell me big guy smots the guys. I think I know who you
• 19:53
  mean. What about him? I think he had something to do with it.
• 19:56
  That's all I liked Hank. He was a nice guy. Anything I
• 20:00
  can do to help Johnny, I'll do. Thanks. Come in, Joey,
• 20:07
  I heard that. Oh sorry, I thought you're on your own.
• 20:10
  It's okay. This is Johnny Eaton. He's Hank Williams's partner. You remember,
• 20:14
  Hank, Sure, the private dick. This is how wealtham Johnny.
• 20:18
  He owns the Blues Club, which means he employs me. That makes you
• 20:22
  a lucky guy, Waltham and I know it. How's Hank. They're looking
• 20:26
  after him. Very well done at the Morgue. You're joking, nohow he
• 20:32
  was killed this afternoon. Well, of all the tough breaks. I was
• 20:34
  telling Johnny that anything I can do to help ip you only to grad.
• 20:38
  But Hank never talked about his work. No. Well, same thing goes
• 20:41
  from eating anything. I can do anything at all. Nice. I've you're
• 20:45
  welcome. If there is anything I look you both up, particularly chilly,
• 20:49
  but she's got is worth looking at. I picked up a cab from outside
• 20:57
  the Blues Club and gave him the address of my apartment, went up at
• 21:02
  the key in the lock and opened the door. There was a light coming
• 21:04
  from the living room. Automatically, I reached for my gun. Then I
• 21:07
  remember I wasn't carrying it. I moved into the living room and got a
• 21:11
  surprise, A beautiful blonde surprise with tear filled eyes. I'm sorry, but
• 21:19
  I didn't know when you'd be back, and I just had to see you.
• 21:22
  Well, how flattering can a blonde be? You are, Johnny,
• 21:26
  eton aren't you unless I've changed in the last ten minutes. The superintendent of
• 21:30
  the building met me in here. I'm Helen Williams, Hank's sister, but
• 21:37
  you're in Kentucky. I wired you about Hank. That's why I came up.
• 21:40
  Got in an hour ago. The caretaker a Hank's apartment house sent me
• 21:44
  to the police. I saw a Lieutenant Joginson. He told me what had
• 21:48
  happened, and then I came here. It's tough, Helen. I oh,
• 21:53
  Hank was a great guy. Yes, yes he was. You go
• 21:59
  ahead, honey, if you want to cry, it won't worry me any.
• 22:03
  You can weep a few tears for me too. No, No,
• 22:06
  I mustn't. Could I could? I have a drink? Sure? Sure,
• 22:10
  we both have one. What do you do now, Helen, go
• 22:14
  back to Kentucy. No, not until Hank's murderer is behind bars. I'm
• 22:18
  staying until he's caught. You got a drink. That might take a long
• 22:22
  time. I don't care. Where are you going to stay tonight? I
• 22:26
  hadn't thought about it. I couldn't go back to Hank's apartment not. No,
• 22:33
  Maybe I could find a hotel, Not at this time. And I
• 22:36
  tell you what you stay here, I'll take the sofa. You can have
• 22:38
  my room. In the morning, we'll find you an appointment. Oh thanks,
• 22:42
  Johnny, Thanks a millionaire. Don't look at me with those trusting eyes.
• 22:47
  Why not because I don't know that I'm too trustworthy, not whether the
• 22:51
  witching blonde. Well, I trust you, Johnny. And since I'm going
• 22:56
  to stay, I might as well be useful. Anyone is decorative as you
• 23:00
  don't have to worry about being useful. Well, I'm going to be.
• 23:03
  You'll meet someone in the office now that Hank won't be there. I'll be
• 23:07
  your secretary. That's fine. Anything that keeps you close by suits me.
• 23:12
  Jerk your mind off my gendron, think about justice for Hank's killer. Okay,
• 23:18
  Helen, you're right. I better give you the story so far.
• 23:29
  The next morning, while Helen was out arranging for Hank's funeral and then seeing
• 23:32
  about an apartment, I sat in my office waiting for the promised visit from
• 23:34
  Tiny Lavin and Babyface brill. My desk draw was open and the gun in
• 23:40
  it had the safety catch off. You are here, her, Seamus,
• 23:45
  I said, I would be, mister Lavin. That's smart of you,
• 23:48
  eating real smart. Thanks. The compliment from babyface brill is really something.
• 23:56
  You'll know our names? Huh, I get a rod? Well here it
• 24:00
  is, Seamus. Forty thousand dollars is too high? Twenty five grand is
• 24:04
  the most of bottle pain? And who is the boss? Are you kidding?
• 24:08
  Okay? Sorry, Levin? The price stays where it is otherwise it's
• 24:12
  no sale. You don't want to talk like that. Eaton, No,
• 24:15
  you might wake up dead. Bumping me off still doesn't get you what you
• 24:18
  want. You won't find out where the stuff is from a copse. Like
• 24:22
  I said before, we might be able to persuade you to tell us before
• 24:25
  you kick off. You know what the recipe for fried chicken says, first,
• 24:29
  catch your bird. You won't be hard to take. Why don't we
• 24:32
  do it now? I get tired and listen it to its voice says,
• 24:34
  try it, babyface, Me and this's thirty eight are waiting already, par
• 24:41
  say your partner Williams figured he was tough too. We'll give you twenty four
• 24:48
  hours to change your mind eating after that, don't slam the door on your
• 24:52
  way out, boys, you fresh puck. Calm down, babyface, You'll
• 24:56
  have plenty of time to devote to mister Eaton twenty four hours from now.
• 25:02
  If he doesn't wise up, yeah, take a tip eating change your mind.
• 25:11
  Otherwise I'll have fun changing your face, Johnny Eaton, Johnny is chilly,
• 25:27
  not with your voice warming up the wire. I've been thinking about what
• 25:30
  you were telling me last night. I might be able to help a little.
• 25:33
  That's fine. Could you come over and see me? Sure, let's
• 25:36
  see. It's just on six o'clock now. I won't be through at the
• 25:38
  club until nearly midnight, and I don't think it would be a good idea
• 25:41
  for you to come there. My apartment would be better, much better if
• 25:45
  you and me and a bottle makes three. The address is Apartment sixteen two
• 25:49
  four eight parcks great see you at midnight. Midnight is the now, they
• 26:00
  say, And Chili at midnight was one wow of a witch. We sat
• 26:04
  side by side on the sectional sofa with the drink's handy, and I told
• 26:07
  Chili all about tiny Lavin. You have no idea what this thing is that
• 26:11
  Leavin wants no like I keep saying that people. Hank wasn't a guy to
• 26:15
  make notes. He carried it all in his head. I pulled the gag
• 26:18
  that I'd got it on Laban, just to see the reaction. And it's
• 26:22
  the Boddy believed me if I told him the truth. Probably not. And
• 26:25
  according to Laban, they searched the office, and they must have searched Hank's
• 26:27
  apartment and they didn't find it. So what did Hank do with it?
• 26:32
  Whatever it is you got me, I can't even begin to guess. I
• 26:34
  think I might be able to help you, Johnny, but you have to
• 26:37
  trust me. That's a song I've heard before. I lied a little last
• 26:41
  night. I know Lavan quite well and the other one baby face brill,
• 26:47
  but I wasn't sure last night whose side you were on. I could help
• 26:49
  you, but you mustn't ask questions. Oh I mustn't. I like you,
• 26:53
  Johnny. I want to help you, but I can't help liking you
• 26:56
  as well, can I. It's a fatal eating charm. Not every time
• 27:00
  a dame tells me it's working, I find I've lost my wallet. Later
• 27:03
  on, here's cynical care. I've been around a long time, not around
• 27:07
  me. Still cynical, Johnny. I'm not sure how you describe the feeling,
• 27:15
  but I don't think cynical is the word you were going to tell me
• 27:21
  about eleven. He and Brell are a couple of strong arm men. I
• 27:23
  didn't think they were charted at Curtains. I tied in with the Blues Club.
• 27:26
  Huh. It really is a club, but it's membership is secret.
• 27:30
  So that's what Hank was untia, I guess. So I thought it was
• 27:36
  just me who runs the place. How Walthome is the manager, but he's
• 27:40
  only paid. I don't know who really owns it. Ladon gives the artists.
• 27:45
  Maybe Hank had some proof. Maybe that's why they murdered him to stop
• 27:49
  him turning it over to the cops. Be your age, Johnny, I
• 27:53
  joint. The size of the Blues doesn't exist without protection, which includes protection
• 27:59
  from the cop. Hank must have had something more than that. Anyway.
• 28:03
  Why did he get so interested? Why would he stick his nose into a
• 28:07
  tough setup like the Blues? Yeah, that's right, dah. Sometimes I'm
• 28:11
  so dumb, I can hardly believe it myself. Of course, he had
• 28:15
  a client. Sure, so find his client and you might get some idea
• 28:18
  of what he had that they want so badly. He got a bright thud.
• 28:23
  The only thing is, how do I find him. You should know
• 28:27
  here's the detective. Who could that be at the sar Well, it's not
• 28:34
  opportunity, not only nuts once, I guess i'd better go and find out.
• 28:37
  As she walked out of the room, I thought that with things as
• 28:41
  they were, I'd be happier safe than sorry, So I eased the gun
• 28:44
  out of my shoulder host and stood behind the door so that I was hidden
• 28:48
  from anyone coming into the room. What the idea? Insight, Chili like
• 28:52
  a good kid. Sorry about this, but it's nothing personal. Just artists.
• 28:57
  Whose artists? Just artists. I'll get it to your nice and quick.
• 29:02
  You want nothing about it, honest, like he gave it to Hank
• 29:03
  Williams. I wouldn't know anything about that. But I can't stand he gabriing,
• 29:10
  and it won't do your nerves any good either. So long, Chili,
• 29:14
  nothing personal. You understand, sure she understands what sell me? My
• 29:19
  glad you were here. I believe you're as tough as they say. Baby
• 29:23
  Page doesn't seem to like you real, neither likes nor dislikes anybody. It's
• 29:27
  just a job, as far as he's concerned, a job he's paid to
• 29:30
  do. The interesting thing is who's paid him to rub you out? I
• 29:36
  don't know. Well, whoever it is, it's a sign they're getting scared,
• 29:40
  which means they might make a mistake. And when they do, I'll
• 29:45
  be right there welcome back. What I told you. It was completely different,
• 30:03
  and I will give our hero one thing. He's certainly audacious. We
• 30:07
  have a good mystery on our hands, and we'll find out more about it
• 30:11
  next week in Part three. Now listener comments and feedback from Scott, who
• 30:17
