Instead of honey, did a honey.

00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.879
It's a honey honey honey of a candy bar.

00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:53.159

24
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.759
Before we begin today's counters by K. Sally, Let's try
25
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.080
another experiment in psychology with bit of Honey candy bars,
26
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:15.319
but the when they were played.
27
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.319
In Life magazine a while back, when we did mental
28
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.680
telepathy for all neck Yes, except today, just for fun,
29
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.680

00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.759
Jesse Crawford will help us.
31
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.800
And now in the bit of Honey song, these four
32
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.840
notes stand for the words bit of honey. Those notes
33
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.000
are a musical symbol for the words bit of honey.
34
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.520
In a few seconds, our listeners will find that little
35
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.639
tune brings the same sense of delicious satisfaction that is
36
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.319
now produced by the words bit of honey. Okay, here

in the summertime. You see as a distinctive mild honey
39
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.240
flavor sprinkled all through our crunchy crushed almond. The separate
40
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.960
rapping of the six generous pieces and a candy bar
41
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.039
makes it extra easy and convenient to eat in summertime.
42
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.879
What's more, the unusual zesty flavor of candy bar is

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.759
Sam, I wouldn't want to go through that again.
175
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.960
I had to be sure they're a smart day Mary,
176
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.399
like Alf said, just the kind of dame I want.
177
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:13.799
To helk up with.
178
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.080
We can talk about that at dinner. I know a
179
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.600
nice place where we can talk. Willow you a treat
180
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:20.879
for that scarce.
181
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.320
Anything else you like them?
182
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:34.840
Called?
183
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:35.679
Nothing?
184
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:36.039
Mary?
185
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:36.559
Not a thing?
186
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:36.919
Mary?
187
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:39.600
Can I get down to business?
188
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.440
Sure? What's on your mind?
189
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.679
I'm looking for a New York contact.
190
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:47.159
Mary?
191
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.559
Like you, I can pick up cars in Chicago and
192
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:53.679
points west and ship them to New York.
193
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.759
What makes you think I'm interested?
194
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:56.799
Well?
195
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:01.919
Button tells me you've got some swell outlets Mexico, South America.
196
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:04.519
I managed to get rid of my cars.
197
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.320
You can make plenty getting rid of my car.
198
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:15.080
Sure, but there's something else. What the citter Real mob.
199
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.639
So he's getting a sisteral mob.
200
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:25.039
Now nobody knows whoever he is. He's a smart operator.
201
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.399
The sister Real Mob is my main competition. We run
202
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:32.159
into each other.
203
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:34.039
That's what's buying you.
204
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.919
They're tough. What do you think is going to happen
205
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.720
to you? Sam? If you steal cars in their territory and.
206
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.840
Shipping the knee I'll take my chances. I got a
207
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:47.919
few boys on my own, plenty tough. We'll handle a
208
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:49.600
sister of mob if we have to.
209
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:55.720
All right, it'll be your funeral, and you'll take my
210
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:57.679
shipments as many as you can deliver good.
211
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:00.960
I'll get my first ship. Then when I get back
212
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.679
to Chicago. That depends on Cora.
213
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:07.399
Men.
214
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.000
I'd like to spend a few days in New York,
215
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.200
that is, if you will show me around.
216
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.759
Really, Sa, Carl step out with you.
217
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:17.039
Sam.
218
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:19.559
You'll be glad to, won't you.
219
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:33.720
Cara, I didn't know you could drive this well with Cora.
220
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:38.120
Let's car, drive the stone? Where'd you get it?
221
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:43.240
Into the friendship I'd bought? I wouldn't drive a store,
222
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.120
serve me.
223
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:46.200
A bit of honey of a car.
224
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:53.399
Turn into that dirt on the hand. Why that's a shortcut.
225
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:00.440
Stop?
226
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:09.679
I will not, and I will. I'll take the key, Sam,
227
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.799
Please better, relax, Cora. I won't hurt you.
228
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.159
Sam. Please give me that key.
229
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.399
When I tell Mary, she's not gonna like this, Sam,
230
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.519
But you're not going to tell her, Sam, She'll kill you.
231
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:25.679
I swear I can take care of myself. What more,
232
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.559
I'm gonna take care of you Sam, you wouldn't not
233
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:34.759
what you think. I'm just going to I thought of
234
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.279
hold you in protective custody.
235
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.360
Protect what for?
236
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:42.679
I just want your sister to come to term.
237
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.159
I thought you hadn't this evening at Redta.
238
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.440
That's what I wanted Mary to think, Laura, she doesn't
239
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:53.600
know that I'm the leader of.
240
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:54.679
The sitter rom Mom.
241
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:55.600
Why are you?
242
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.600
I don't want to have to hurt your Cora. That's
243
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.600
a private fight between Mary and me. I'm taking over
244
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:00.960
the New.
245
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:02.440
York character and I'm going to.
246
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:15.360
Get out.
247
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:15.600
You know.
248
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:17.759
I just didn't like his face. I didn't like your
249
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:21.639
traveling around, I think, so I followed you very ready, girl,
250
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.080
I marry it's very.
251
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.279
It didn't be nice because that it'd be nice to
252
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:30.960
a man.
253
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:31.879
I didn't want to.
254
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:39.559
She did. Cora, here, you take my gun. Go on
255
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:42.399
take it. Put in your pocket book. So if any
256
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:43.240
other guy tries to.
257
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.360
Pull a face, thank that?
258
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:47.320
Would it take me home?
259
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:52.000
Sure? So wait a minute, I got a better idea.
260
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:52.879
Take a gun in your bag.
261
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:55.799
Go on, drop it on the floor of the car
262
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:02.679
near this punk. Come on, we'll get out of here
263
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.519
before so many theaters, and we're gonna have a talk
264
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:06.039
with Mary.
265
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:19.320
Yeah, what happened?
266
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:20.879
How did you know if something happened?
267
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.000
It's my radio, and keep a tune to the police.
268
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.320
Call Call what happened?
269
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.840
Police announced it, said Sam Frencher, did is I shuting
270
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:31.759
start talking?
271
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:35.000
Jack? Your little playmate from Chicago was going to play
272
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.120
kidnap with Cora and that you came to terms.
273
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.240
Turns came to an agreement earlier this sevening.
274
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:46.279
Oh yeah, Sam was leader of the Cicero mob. What
275
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.080
you came here to get you out of the way.
276
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:56.600
Jack, I certainly owe you something to save me.
277
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.720
Forget it, cops think of Dame Grove Sam's car, cor
278
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.639
I'm must let the color hairpins or something.
279
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:03.799
That's all.
280
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:11.000
Yeah, I can't worry about the car with sands very.
281
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.359
The murder gun is in the car right alongside of
282
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:15.119
Sam French.
283
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:16.160
I don't get it.
284
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:20.680
The cops will marry Cora's fingerprints are all over that gun.
285
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:23.200
Crazy shop.
286
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.519
Sure, sure, but I wiped up my prince and handed
287
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.759
the gun to Cora. Her fingerprints are all over it.
288
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:29.799
Orra ran out.
289
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.680
The police will think only one thing. Cora killed Sam, and.
290
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:41.880
You do that to my kids, said the youth slimy
291
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:53.000
rat dirdy double wait draw, that's better, Commando of Insidam.
292
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:59.440
Marie, why'd you do it? Why'd you pinna kill on
293
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.160
cor As?
294
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.599
You played me for a sucker?
295
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:02.000
Mary?
296
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:03.279
That's why would Coral for me?
297
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:04.400
It got me wrong?
298
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:04.680
Oh?
299
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.839
No, you got me wrong. He didn't figure me for
300
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:09.119
a guy? Use his head, did you?
301
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:11.039
Well?
302
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.640
Maybe it's little Jack Taylor who that's all they're talking
303
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.160
from now on?
304
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:14.400
In?
305
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.240
All right, Jack? What have you got in mine?
306
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:20.759
Here?
307
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.039
There's no police record. The cops will let her know
308
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.279
whose finger prints are on that murder gun unless I
309
00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:31.000
tell him, and I will tell him too, unless unless
310
00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:34.519
what unless you will may become partner's baby.
311
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:37.519
Well that's the way it is.
312
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.440
Yeah, fifty fifty on the whole setup.
313
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.039
Nothing small about you?
314
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:46.720
Is that Johnathan Sam French dead will take over his ciceromb?
315
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:49.720
Oh what'd he saying?
316
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:51.480
No?
317
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.200
I wouldn't turn Corral over the police.
318
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.359
Okay, then we'll partner this Now, how did you come
319
00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:58.559
to hook up with Sam French?
320
00:18:58.759 --> 00:18:59.400
Friend of mine?
321
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:05.119
Alf Burton, Chicago, Alf Burton, Huh, okay, that's my first stop,
322
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.039
Alf Furton in Chicago.
323
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:19.599
Carter's fire will continue in just a moment, but right now.
324
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:21.880
I can see that Jimmy wants to wheedle an old
325
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.920
neck candy bar or a nickel out of me today.
326
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:25.880
Jimmy, you won't do it.
327
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.880
I'm determined You're absolutely right, mister crump.
328
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:30.279
I want to.
329
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.400
Apologize for the way I've been putting you on the spot.
330
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.920
I've flattered you, asked your riddles, and teased you in
331
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:36.519
order to get old Nick candy bars.
332
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.319
It's not fair, is it, Oh, Jimmy, I don't really mind, No, sir,
333
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:42.319
I haven't been fair.
334
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.160
For instance, you have an old Nick candy bar in
335
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.039
your pocket today, haven't you. Well, certainly I always have
336

Handy.
338
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:53.319
It's spiney candy bars, I know, with that thick milk chocolate.
339
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:58.359
Coating, creamy buttery, smooth caramel, and the fudge and the
340
00:19:58.920 --> 00:19:59.920
fresh toasted nut.
341
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.160
It sure is good eating.
342
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.680
Well today, if I point out how much money you

00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:08.240

and how utterly delicious oldly candy bars are, and how

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:20.440
I'm broke and don't have any, and I'm so hungry
347
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:21.240
for an old.
348
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.599
Nick, well if I did that.
349
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:25.680
It'd make you sound like the worst kind of a
350
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.799
heel if you didn't give me one, wouldn't it?
351
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:35.240
Okay, Jimmy, here you are, now tell him what you
352
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:37.960
think of old Nick, your rascal Old Nick.
353
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:42.720
Oh boy, Oh, Nick is a wonderful candy bar.
354
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:47.319
Get some soon, folks. Whatever fine candy is old, you'll
355
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:52.480
like Old Nick. How back to our cotar spy cakes.
356
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:07.480
I'll take the support into mister Harting myself.
357
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:11.960
Busy chief.
358
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.559
Oh hello, Peters, just studying this mapley out of stolen
359
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:16.640
cars in the United States.
360
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.519
Maybe this teletype of portal fit in Chief. Sam French,
361
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:21.640
a hot car autist from Chicago, was just killed in
362
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.079
New York.
363
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:27.599
Oh, this may be the beginning of what this report
364
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:30.440
of stolen cars shows up the heaviest concentrations around New
365
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.960
York and Chicago. Sam French and Chicago mobster being killed
366
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:35.920
in New York means only one thing.
367
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.279
The New York and Chicago gangs are beginning to cross
368
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:40.799
each other exactly, Peters.
369
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:42.960
Is enough intentive in stolen cars for gangsters to start
370
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:45.319
a bloody massacre that may rival prohibition days.
371
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:47.640
We've got to stop at Peter's before it gets started.
372
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:03.599
Follow me out.
373
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:06.240
Friend of Mary Linton is a friend of mine. Jack
374
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:10.920
glad to hear Sad there's a piece of quick change
375
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:11.680
for help Mary?
376
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:13.880
In what way?
377
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:15.039
Information?
378
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.039
What do you want to know?
379
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:22.720
Sam French died? Okay? Who's running the Sister A Mob?
380
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.000
Now?
381
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:29.680
It ain't settled yet. Several of the boys have ideas.
382
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.079
I better forget those ideas. The Sister Row mob is
383
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:34.400
going to be run from New York.
384
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:39.599
These boys are tough and hungry. They ain't given up nothing.
385
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:41.799
I want to listen to reasons.
386
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.680
Un it's one of them boys.
387
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:46.240
Figures hedn't be the big boys.
388
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:47.799
I can't waste any time.
389
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.880
Don't see how you can rush matters. Like I said,
390
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:55.079
they have their own ideas.
391
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:57.440
They have their own ideas.
392
00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:57.680
Huh.
393
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:04.480
What are the names of the boys with the ideas?
394
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.279
Gang warriors flaring up in Chicago? Mister hunting, what's the report?
395
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:18.400
Two more gangs just killed in Chicago. Both men were
396
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:19.960
connected with Sam French at one time.
397
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:24.519
Sam French again, Peters, have they turned up on anything
398
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.240
on the same French killing a new.
399
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:28.759
Chief the clear set of fingerprints on the gun, but
400
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:30.960
the local police haven't yet identified the prince.
401
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:34.559
Peter's why are our New York field office and have
402
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:37.519
them step into the same French case. Requisition the murder weapon,
403
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.079
have it sent to Washington. Also have our New York office,
404
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:40.920
but the murdered car.
405
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:41.640
Through the laboratory.
406
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:52.680
Well do chief, Well, I guess I kind of got
407
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:54.000
this little glow art coming to.
408
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:56.759
Me a working fast, Jack.
409
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:01.759
These men were killed in Chicago of the baby, I'll
410
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:05.480
be plenty more killed before I'm finished. Card, I'm organizing
411
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:07.559
Chicago if I have to knock off I mean the
412
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:08.359
last months.
413
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:10.920
In that time, Jack, I've been in the racket longer
414
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:13.359
than you, so I never had to do any killing.
415
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.799
Murder is a sure way to get the cops down.
416
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.559
You're all right for that local stuff now, but this
417
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.839
is big time. I'm going to combine all the hot
418
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.880
car set ups in the entire country, and I'm going
419
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:28.599
to do it fast and sure by killing, by knocking
420
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:30.680
off the opposition before it gets started.
421
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:32.759
Now, I can't stand it. You don't make it easy,
422
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:36.480
called it's killing sealing cause enough murder and more.
423
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:37.880
Murder, getting any ideas.
424
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:42.039
Yes, I'm getting out to go to work some Oh no,
425
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:43.480
you won't. You can't stop me.
426
00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.799
All the way Corra the cops. I gotta set a
427
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:50.240
fingerprints on a murder gun. Remember, I just suppose they
428
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:51.759
find out whose prince they.
429
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:54.039
Are top it both of you. Cora isn't going anywhere.
430
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.400
Corra, better not get any ideas.
431
00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:59.519
Crying card, go Pobby your notes.
432
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:07.200
All right, Marry, I don't like the way Cora acts.
433
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:09.519
It's all let's talk about killing. She'll get over.
434
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:16.680
Cora may be your sister, but what do you mean, sister, No, sister,
435
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:17.880
she's getting dangerous.
436
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:20.680
I don't like what you're driving.
437
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:24.240
You better marry. There might be a time when it'll
438
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:26.759
be either Cora or you.
439
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:27.599
Shut up.
440
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:30.480
Cora's no danger. I'll control her.
441
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:32.440
You better.
442
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:48.160
I thought i'd find you in the laboratory.
443
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:48.519
Peters.
444
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:50.880
We've just completed an analysis of the gun he used
445
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.960
in the same French Murdy Chief. We've confirmed at least
446
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:57.079
one police deduction. A woman handled the gun after the
447
00:25:57.119 --> 00:25:59.960
fatal bullet was fired. We found some particles to face
448
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.599
powder in the battle of a gun. The girl, apparently
449
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.039
it put the gun in her bag, then took the
450
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:05.200
gun out and dropped.
451
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:05.839
It near French's body.
452
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.599
Was a type of powder, high grade but sold commonly
453
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.319
in department stores are the better kind, a deep shade.
454
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.359
The girl evidently is the dark brunette. This is confirmed
455
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:17.000
by a smear of lipstick on the gun. The lipstick
456
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:20.319
is dark, almost purple kind used by girls with black hair.
457
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:21.759
Well, that's the big help, Peters.
458
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:24.119
We've got to find that girl. She's the key to
459
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.519
this particular car stealing record. Chief.
460
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:28.559
There are only one hundred and forty million persons in
461
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:29.440
the United States.
462
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:31.359
Half are men remembered.
463
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.599
That still leaves seventy million hardly. The murder took place
464
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:36.799
in New York, we can reasonably infer the girl of
465
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.240
the New York resident New York City most probably.
466
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:41.319
I'll go along with you on that, Chief, But it
467
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:43.960
still leaves about seven million persons three and a half
468
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:44.599
million women.
469
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:47.319
Not if you stop to think a minute, Peters, most
470
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:51.000
women have hair of varying shades of brown. Blondes and
471
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.920
extreme brunettes are in the minority. That's right.
472
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.920
And here's something else. This girl was driving Sam Francis car.
473
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:00.799
It's reasonable to assume that she had driver's license.
474
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:02.880
Here is exactly be that.
475
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:05.920
Narrows it to a girl with black hair. I it's
476
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:08.920
probably deep brown or black. Who has a driver's license
477
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:10.799
and is on file with a motor vehicle girl in
478
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:11.240
New York.
479
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:13.920
Best, Chief, there'll still be several hundred girls in New
480
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:15.200
York answering to that prescription.
481
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:19.279
And that's true enough. Now, if we received an analysis
482
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:19.960
of the murder.
483
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.359
Car, not yet, but to make them through it anytime, a.
484
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:24.400
Chemical analysis of the dust on the floor of the car.
485
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:27.240
That's when the shoes of the driver will isolate still
486
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:28.720
further the neighborhood.
487
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:29.119
Where this girl lives.
488
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:32.880
It's logical. Peter's order a plane for New York. I've
489
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:34.839
got an idea we may be able to locate the
490
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:48.160
girl who was with Sam French with this tail wind,
491
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:49.319
will be in New York about an hour.
492
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:49.640
Chief.
493
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:51.839
That's fine, we're reasoning correctly.
494
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.359
This case ought to break tomorrow.
495
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.599
That's New York calling Chief, tiding to New York.
496
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:04.319
Go ahead in New York the hiding plan fourteen putting
497
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.920
now operation with all preliminaris covering a waiting reaction of
498
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:08.960
subject involved.
499
00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:11.799
Very good jays Eggs did arrive in New York within
500
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:12.119
the hour.
501
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:25.400
I'll make you a feel that quarterly.
502
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:29.119
Come I move up place, lady. I got my license
503
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:30.359
to the Motor vehicle Bureau.
504
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:31.880
You're in the right place, lady.
505
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:32.880
You got your right license.
506
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:34.759
Yes, I don't understand why.
507
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:37.559
You and all the rest the people online. All we
508
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:38.559
want is your license.
509
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:39.599
You'll be given new ones.
510
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:43.119
Oh hidden anything wrong with it?
511
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:43.880
God a thing.
512
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:45.279
We're starting to issue a new form.
513
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:45.720
That's all.
514
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:49.839
See Karl Lenton Andrews.
515
00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:52.799
Good enough, sit down, You're able to be called in
516
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:54.640
the new blanks filled out, no additional theme.
517
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:06.640
Oh there you are a car jack was asking about you.
518
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:08.599
Yeah, and it ain't love baby. I'd just like to
519
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:09.680
see you close to home.
520
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:11.680
Oh, can I leave the house for five minutes?
521
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:13.000
It's been gone all afternoon.
522
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:15.359
I had to go down to the Motor vehicle bureau.
523
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:15.960
That's all.
524
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.960
Maybe a drink when he said, sure, motor vehicle deer,
525
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:22.519
so matter your license expise.
526
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:24.720
No, they wanted me to come there. And that's that.
527
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:27.079
There's a drink car.
528
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:29.640
That motor vehicle story smells sufficient.
529
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:34.359
I got to notice. I can prove it here. Take
530
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:36.359
a look at this. It's just smart money.
531
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.519
Yeah, so you had to bring your license to the
532
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:42.359
motor vehicle bureau.
533
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.359
They just took my license and gave me a new one.
534
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:51.279
Me and thousands of other girls. Yeah, no men, I
535
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:54.920
didn't notice. Come to think of it, No, only girls.
536
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:58.880
Oh, forget about it. Women say it's the Motor Vehicle Bureau.
537
00:29:58.960 --> 00:29:59.720
Have a drink yet?
538
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:08.319
Uh, let's talk about it to more kra What kind
539
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:09.119
of women were there?
540
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:11.920
I don't know. Girls, young women.
541
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.839
Only young women, lots of brunettes.
542
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.559
What do you mean?
543
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:19.319
What's fighting you?
544
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:19.720
Jack?
545
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:22.279
Look? Suppose the cops figured out it was a black
546
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:25.119
haired young game who drove Sam francis car. Somebody might
547
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:26.039
have seen her and Sam.
548
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:26.880
They couldn't have.
549
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:27.839
We didn't stop anyone.
550
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.240
You must have stopped for a red light. Somebody saw you.
551
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:33.079
So the cops play it smart. They look up all
552
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:35.119
the driver's license, They call in all the black head
553
00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:36.799
dames on some phony excuse.
554
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:38.599
You're crazy. There was a room full of peiti.
555
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:40.839
You hand in your old license. It's got your fingerprints
556
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:41.119
all over.
557
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:43.599
Don't go getting any ideas I had one all along.
558
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:46.440
Don't show it to my arms.
559
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:52.079
You drop it.
560
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:56.200
High.
561
00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:59.839
So glad you even if you are the police United States?
562
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:00.519
All right?
563
00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:03.920
I know card pictures for change and the wire that
564
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.200
that's a girl to kill Sam Prince. Her fingerprints are.
565
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:08.240
On a murder, Cardine, please.
566
00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:12.279
Innocent? She was with Sam Prince, but Jack killing.
567
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:12.759
After for you?
568
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:14.720
Good in your old naked yet lit the lady.
569
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:16.799
I'll talk, I'll talk pretty.
570
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:18.480
I imagine you will, Miss Lynton. But at best it
571
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:21.000
will just confirm the evidence we have concerning your car
572
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:21.799
stealing set up.
573
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:23.799
All right, Peter, take them the headquarters.
574
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:37.480
David Harding will be back in just a moment to
575
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:39.559
tell you about next week's exciting case.
576
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:41.400
Hey, I sure want to hear about that.
577
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:44.680
I heard it was sensational. But uh, don't you want
578
00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:46.240
to hear about Old Nick candy bars?
579
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:47.839
First, Jimmy, not.
580
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.440
Mister crap Roger. What can you tell me about Old
581
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.240
Nick candy bars? I enjoy one every day, That's all
582
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:58.279
I need to know. But what about those folks who
583
00:31:58.359 --> 00:31:59.920
never had the pleasure of tasting old.
584
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:02.839
Neck Clevi tastes an Old Nick candy bar? Is it possible?
585
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:03.640
That's right?
586
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:05.640
Even though Old Nick has been a favorite of minions
587
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.799
for over a quarter century, there are still some folks
588
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:12.480
who've never enjoyed that smooth, thick chocolate coating.
589
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:14.680
The crunchy peanuts and buttery.
590
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:16.799
Rich caramel, and the creamy fudge.
591
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:19.640
Four famous candies blended into one delicious bar.
592
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.519
What do you know?
593
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:23.119
Well, what will we do?
594
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:23.880
Tell him?
595
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:26.000
Tell him Old Nick?
596
00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:30.440
Oh by Oh Nick is a wonderful candy bar.
597
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:34.119
As Jimmy points out, you've missed a rare treat. If
598
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.400
you've missed Old Nick, get some Old Nick candy bar soon.
599
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:39.200
Why not this evening?
600
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:40.720
You'll like Old Nick.
601
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:49.440
It's a David Harding speaking for a month's private first
602
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.400
class bred Parker stationed with the American Occupation troops in Europe,
603
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:54.519
had looked forward to his wife and family joining him.
604
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:57.359
But a certain man in this country had other ideas,
605
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:01.920
ideas which included gambling, murder, and double cross. How these
606
00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:04.720
different elements, thousands of miles apart, suddenly came into focus
607
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:11.200
makes next week's Counterspy broadcast an exciting timely EXPOSA. Invite
608
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:15.559
you to listen to Sunday, August fourth, same time station,
609
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.559
David Hardy Counterspy The Phillip Stage LAYD.
610
00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:42.799
Production thirty three forty five thirty three forty five Welcome back.
611
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:46.000
Well, that announcer had a case of the giggles. I
612
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:49.240
don't think there was anything particularly funny, at least that
613
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.279
I could hear. Maybe something in the studio was going
614
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:56.400
on that we're not privy to. It's a rehearsal. You're
615
00:33:56.519 --> 00:34:00.119
not going to let that slow you down. Now you
616
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.079
may be asking yourself, what is a counter SBO knowledge
617
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:09.559
organization doing investigating a car tfforring. That's a great question.
618
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:14.679
I wish I had a great in universe answer it.
619
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.000
And one thing I came across Counterspy and I was
620
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:23.960
listening to episodes that were all post war the first
621
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.840
few I found, and I was like, what does this
622
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.559
have to do with counter intelligence? Like on every single
623
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:34.039
episode and there's not a great answer, or if they
624
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.440
gave an answer, it's in an episode that is lost,
625
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:41.000
and whether it was good or bad, we don't know.
626
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:44.480
I think what happened though with Counterspy in terms of
627
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:49.280
the program is that it and Don McLoughlin are an
628
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.840
established brand with good ratings, and they'd lock to continue
629
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:56.039
to run the program. And there was a little bit
630
00:34:56.119 --> 00:35:00.239
of lag in between the end of World War Two
631
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:04.440
and the Cold War really heating up where you could
632
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:09.440
make a series based on taking on communist agents solely,
633
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:13.760
and there were actually a few episodes of The Man
634
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:19.360
Called X in nineteen forty seven and forty eight, where
635
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:23.880
he got into some investigations that were a bit of
636
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:28.719
a stretch, like he was involved in cons of servicemen,
637
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:34.440
which sounds like Counterspy would be taking on that next week.
638
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:38.840
The best in universe explanation you could offer for something
639
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:44.599
like this is that when Counterspy was created that David
640
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:50.519
Harding was given pretty broad jurisdiction and ability to intervene
641
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:55.239
in cases, and nobody ever thought to revise the powers
642
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:57.880
of the agency. For real life, this would probably be
643
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:01.440
more of a case for the FBI. I actually enjoyed
644
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:05.079
the episode overall. Usually I'm not a fan of those
645
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:10.599
cases that focus on the criminals. This was a bit
646
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:13.639
more enjoyable for a couple of reasons. First, I thought
647
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:18.960
that there was some real intelligence behind most of the
648
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:23.880
criminals' actions. This isn't a Boston Blackie situation where you're
649
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:28.800
sitting around with people with verbal techs. There's something on
650
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:33.719
the ball behind this operation, which makes it interesting. Although
651
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:38.079
that whole idea that he was going to rule all
652
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:42.119
car theft operations in the country, that's kind of Saturday
653
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:45.480
Morning supervillain. But the rest of it I think was
654
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:50.199
pretty solidly reasoned. I also liked the relationship between the
655
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:54.880
two sisters. Often it's just nasty all around in the
656
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:57.159
way the criminals relate to each other, but I think
657
00:36:57.239 --> 00:37:02.880
there was a bit of humanity. Yes, Mary was using Cora,
658
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:07.960
and Cora didn't appreciate it and really would not have
659
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:12.519
liked to have been involved. But there was a limit
660
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:15.639
for Mary, and she made clear she was willing to
661
00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:21.000
kill for her sister, and that ultimately does end up
662
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:26.280
playing out in the episode when she pretty much is
663
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:30.239
ready to tell all to Counterspot, even though according to
664
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:34.440
David Harding, they know it already. Some sound deductions by
665
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:39.239
David Harding, but the method of capturing the criminals, that
666
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:42.400
one is again, you know, it's kind of one of
667
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:46.440
those solutions of scale that the more you think about it,
668
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:51.239
the more you realize it's problematic. It's New York City.
669
00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:55.519
Not everyone's drives or has a car. As a general rule,
670
00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:59.920
women a smaller percentage of women had licenses back then.
671
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.000
But still it's New York City, and there were far
672
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:10.760
too many black haired female drivers to make this practical.
673
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:14.360
I mean, think about just the pure bureaucracy of this
674
00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:18.519
sort of thing. How many driver's licenses you'd have to reissue.
675
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:22.159
But other than that, I thought overall a good episode.
676
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:27.400
Few implausible items, but I think really entertaining. All right,
677
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:31.159
listener comments and feedback now, and we have a comment
678
00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:35.679
from Dorothy regarding Counterspy over on YouTube. She writes, first
679
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.360
time hearing the series, it's very good. Would like to
680
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:42.119
hear more. Well, Thanks so much, Dorothy, and we have
681
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:45.119
quite a bit more Counterspy to play over the next
682
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:48.320
year or so, and I hope you and everyone else
683
00:38:48.360 --> 00:38:49.199
will keep listening.
684
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:49.920
All right.
685
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.679
