 From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny Duller Yeah, it's spread all over my son missing. I've had called from New York all morning long the business mergers jeopardizes It's you're doing anything else to say when I finish with you and your liability company They won't be enough left to burn the junk mr. Parsons before you shoot off any more steam Do you want me to give the papers the other half of the story the one about you arranging for people to impersonate your son and his wife? I guess I am Bye Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Oh, it's truly Johnny Duller Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny Duller to the Eastern Casualty and Trust Company Boston, Massachusetts The following is an accounting of expenditure is during my investigation of the Caligly's matter Item 11 10 cents one newspaper. I lied to Parsons about seeing the paper I hadn't seen it at all But I could guess what had happened when they got hold of the story that a prominent broker had been missing some 14 days It was all there spread over the front page. I waited a couple of hours before I took old man Parsons on again You think you're pretty smart, don't you you should have given this matter to the police in the first place I gave it to a detective agency and what do you mean by firing them? They were just spending your money and you're losing it for me with all this on the paper I'm still trying to find your son. Mr. Parsons. Remember you aren't gonna find him here Something's come up. Maybe you're gonna explain it the DA's office impounded the books yesterday $5,000 was withdrawn from your son's personal account. What do I have to explain about that wait? It was taken out the morning. He disappeared Do you have any idea why he'd withdraw some of money that size? No, do you sure? Somebody could have been standing it back him with a gun threatening to blow his head off He might have had a date to go to a wedding and eat us some tip money. What can you add? You're getting mad dollar go find your answers someplace else. You don't care if he's ever located. Do you dollar? Let me tell you something my son means that to me no more He's never had brains enough for energy enough to do anything by himself. I do everything always have The only reason I want him back is to affect the merger with little in Tennyson. You knew that right away I suppose so I just wanted to hear it said to believe it. Well now you've heard me say it You know one reason why I always run the show dollar my face never looks like yours over anything I Got out of there fast and went downtown with a tall policeman named Jerry Engel to interview a bank teller I'm Sergeant Engel is mr. Dollar. Oh, yes, you phone me. It's about mr. Parsons you took care of them when he came in here last Tuesday a week ago. Is that right? I handle the withdrawal Yes, we'd like to see the slip on that. Yes. I looked it up. I have it ready for you Have you know mr. Parsons very long? Well, I don't know him. Well really look at this picture. This man is the same who signed the withdrawal slip last Tuesday morning Yes, that's mr. Parsons. Okay. Tell us what happened We just came up to the cage and handed me the withdrawal slip that's all I see Weren't you a little surprised when he made out a withdrawal slip for $5,000? That's a lot of money Well, maybe I was a little surprised but mr. Parsons has withdrawn large sums from his personal account several times I always assumed it was some sort of speculation where he needed cash on hand when he came up to the cage to you What exactly did he say? Oh just good morning or something like that, and then will you please take care of this? Didn't he stipulate how he wanted the money? Oh, yes. Yes, he did say that. I'm sorry He took it mostly in hundreds and fifties any of these bills happen to be recorded No, Sergeant anything else you can remember about the transaction that might help Sorry nothing Well, well, maybe yeah Well, you both know the kind of business mr. Parsons is in I mean well It seems like a hurried sort of business always phone calls rushing and so on he was always Always like that. It seemed to me come in here do what he had to do and rush out very brisk, you know But that morning he didn't seem in a hurry at all when he left. I Mean I had the distinct feeling that mr. Parsons didn't particularly care in what direction he went a Recheck with mrs. Parsons and the house servants established that Parsons had not left the house with the described money bag The police went to work on that angle trying to find out where he had purchased it a supplementary bulletin went out with the news about the bag the district attorneys men were trying to find out if he was Involved with another woman and if so who? Parsons was reported to be in Toledo Detroit the Virgin Islands and Boston all the reports were untrue Yeah, officer, that's him. That's the guy who was in here that night. You sure positive. That's his picture was he with anybody Alone he said over there on that stool. How long was he here? Oh, he's here. We closed the joint Did you happen to see where he went from here? No, and what kind of shape was he in the trunk? No, no, it was real sober and quiet drank all night, but he seemed to hold his stuff Okay, did you talk to him at all? No, just took his order for drinks. He didn't seem to want to talk to anybody Did you happen to notice if anybody who was in here went over and talked to him? I think a couple of people tried, you know, you get that sort of thing in a joint like this But he didn't say much to any of them. So they just left him alone. He just sat alone and drank No, he was making a phone call all the time was here long distance call from the booth over there He sat at the end of the bar so he could hear the phone ring. How do you know he was making a long distance call? 21st and asked me to change it to quarters for him all the quarters ahead about what time was this? But it took him two three hours anyway, do you know if you ever completed his call poured a lot of dough into the phone Did he have anything with him while he was here? What do you mean? Was he carrying a little black bag? Maybe But his overcoat What he did say something to me at that he asked me if I knew Cali clease Cali cleat Yes, sergeant. He was about three bourbons along by then mean anything I've heard about that before Jerry Cali clease was a Greek Parsons quoted him to his doctor once something about a man Breaking through and shaking off his chains pretty piece of poetry poet. I thought he was a bookie. Oh, excuse me Well, Jerry one thing for sure. Yeah, what we know he was alive that night Jerry Ingalls started a check with the telephone company There I could disclose the David Parsons had placed a call from the pay booth in the bar on the night in question It had been a person-to-person call to a Kenneth Temple in San Francisco We tried to place a call to the same number, but there was no answer We waited another two hours trying to complete the call and the operators were still trying when we drove out to the Parsons residence once more Mrs. Parsons gave us a cool greeting.
