She's been anywhere doctor says we drive over there and see her any time now Drive over there. Oh, that's about five miles near of them Some people live there up the top of the little canyon. Oh, that's what I've put the turn for a stern Trash is he the only one over at it is that's not too surprising. Look up the top of the canyon Nate is the first turn the road below Collins. No one lives in between After pinker, there isn't much of us the way into Manitou for the ice road is but it comes out right on Manitou's main drag You know how to handle that road you could get right from the center things in three minutes Spook we go out there see mrs.

Yeah, doc told her a little while ago That's where the car went over over there How much of a drop is it oh 40 50 feet I guess they got the car out though now or so ago Should have a report on that before too long and mustn't think it's how it's there the curve Yeah, we'll check him as we talk to mrs. Collins Look, you see the way the canyon slopes you can see the tops of those buildings Yeah, and they're on the main street. We just turned off that's right.

Yes, he was He was just finishing his dinner when Ralph came to the door for me. I suppose you know, did they have any plans for you? No He's usually planned something for Thursdays last night. He'd spoken to Mr. Finkett coming up and then playing cards, but For some reason that was called off Geneva down the road. Yes You don't know why that plan was called off No, I really don't Maynard was talking to you Ralph. Did he mention anything? No, I just said Mr. Finkett said he couldn't make it He asked me if I could come back I told him I was going bowling that he could come with me You wish I'd come back Uncle would devote it to one another you see Ralph's father my husband passed away some years ago Just been one Sure has no meaner than I never had any children of our own Ralph of course was special to me. Mrs. Collins. This may be blunt, but I'll have to ask you Your husband have any enemies anyone who might want him out of the way Why not that I knew of I Just can't imagine anyone not liking me here. I Suppose that's just nature someone killed him Look do you have to say things like that? I'm afraid Oh, that's all right round tenant has every right. I want to help all I can Mrs. Collins was your car in front of your house when you left last night. Yes. I believe it was Mean it often left it there. There's a bear. All right park heading down the canyon remember Ralph We pulled up just in front of it. Yeah, we did. Is it important where the car was it was important to the murder of Mrs. It must have looked like a cover up for a natural just sitting there in front of the house Did it happen in car? We don't know yet. We don't know where it happened We have men checking outside Some of them will be coming in here in a while to give the house a going over that I get reported on the car I wish you'd know a lot more. I hope so Whoever it was. I hope you find them soon. We'll get back to you Mrs. Collins We'd appreciate it if you'd stay here together. We may want to talk to you again. We'll be here And if you think of anything that might help us let us know by the way Ralph Where do you do your bowling the Clark Lane's Manifest? Was there you can check he will We did too according to the bowling alley reservation book Ralph at the third alley from 7 15 to 10 15 Regular Thursday night customer the owner said Apparently the whole family spent their Thursday nights in a prescribed manner and everyone was properly accounted for between 8 o'clock when Minut Collins was murdered and a little after 10 when Collins neighbor Doug Pinkard heard the crash It seemed like a good idea to talk to think it Couldn't you've been in the earlier? I know because the 10 o'clock news just tomorrow and I heard the crash Are you alone when you heard it mr. Pickard? I'm batch of it mr. Dyer alone a good bit of time You called off some plans you had last night mr. Collins didn't you? Yes I did but what difference does that make? You know that Collins was murdered? How could he be murdered and go off the road you've been dead two hours on that happen you're sure about the time you heard the crash I'm positive Two hours, but that would make him dead around 8 o'clock. That's right. Does that mean anything to you? You didn't hear anything around 8 o'clock any commotion or struggle or a car going by or anything No, not at 8 o'clock. I heard a car around 7 but that was dealing in there I saw them go. They were regular as cockroaches every Thursday and that's the last car you heard the crash You sure you'd hear a car if it came by this way I usually do I don't get a lot of traffic up here You know I usually take a look when I hear a car come. Maybe there's another road out of here. Is there mr. Pinkard? No, this one sort of peed his out up above Collins's the only way to get up to Collins's is up this road here How well do you know the car? Well, I'm not gonna spend up to his house a lot Mostly when she isn't there When I'm not used to If they know how to judge me, you know mr. Collins better than oh, that's right, and I liked him I liked him a lot I'm just Say they got along. All right. You think they were happy together You talk to you Off to her Like that, but I'm asking you not her You don't think they were happy to get him is to think I don't think you're serious though Sometimes they thought about how do you know that? Well, maybe it told me mostly and then a couple of times. I want me not there and they'd be going at it Not anything in particular I don't remember anything Try to stay out of things like that Jenny had them going at it about money Well, that's all I was fixing to go for a climb that's the way I spend most of my time There is my shouldn't go now. Mr. Pinkard. Do you have any idea who will kill mr. Collins? No, I can't think of any Somehow I had the idea that pink it was ordinarily a man of very few words that he'd said more in the last 10 minutes And we had for the last 10 years, but you know And it was pretty stumped. I didn't blame him. No scene of the crime. No murder weapon. No one wanted Collins dead It wasn't going to be easy Back at headquarters a new development was waiting for us. His name was Clint bingham I'm a service station man I Did what time was that? Well, I get up there not going to store But the back he's remitage so I change tire So What well seem to me I heard something Good later sounds like something sort of running Did you tell what direction the sounds came from you seem like this time You Yeah, I checked in the earlier And We will return the earth Julie Johnny dollar in just a moment if you're in the market for a Sunday night date Here are a few suggestions matter of fact, you need to take your ticket You can date them all Marie Wilkman, Kathy Lewis on my friend Irma He garden is our miss Brooks Perry Livingston on the Jack Benny show briny tempered sapphire on a mission and a and Janet Waldo as callous archer Stay home tomorrow night and date the whole gang over most of the same CBS radio station Now with our star Edmond O'Brien, we bring you the second act of yours Julie Johnny dollar It's going to be a while before I think it would be in condition to talk But it was a driver of the car and witnesses think it never even looked just walk out into the path of the car One of the witnesses the kid who worked at clinton service stations that think it had come in Asked the Clint and took it very big when he learned he had gone hunting Finally think it came around I Mean evidence Why did you walk in front of the car, Mr. Pinker? Paul said, he was going hunting. I heard he was running away. I didn't see him coming. Clint says he heard someone running near your house and he was changing Colin's tire. That you, Pinker? It was not. I never left the house, wasn't it? Suppose you did, Louie. Suppose you killed Colin's out behind his house. Then came, he interrupted you, so you ran. You knew he might have seen you. So, today you had to get to him before he got to us. Why would I kill him? Why would you kill him, Pinker? Ask him, we will. Ask him what was thought about, Mr. Pinker. We will, Mr. Pinker. We will, Mr. Pinker. We will, Mr. Pinker. The doctor in motion decided to leave. Anders wasn't buying the quarrel or anything else, much to the figure it said. He decided to stay at the hospital until Pinker was talking. With his permission, I went back to see their Collins. She was alone. Mr. Ralph made a home where she was a slave in the Reds. I'm stronger than an army strained in so much for him. Oh, I'm sorry to hear about Mr. Pinker. Mrs. Collins, he says you and your husband quarreled yesterday. What? We do? Or wasn't quarreled, that means? I have my opinion. Maynard had his. I've been forgotten since it was really, really nothing. It's about to be important at all now. Anything's after thee. It might be a big help. Well, all right. I had even Ralph on him. It's better. I'm afraid it would hurt him. Maynard had such plans for Ralph. I tried to tell him no one could leave after he was taken. Ralph's not much of a student. And Maynard was paying his college fees. Yesterday, I guess Maynard had been over-talked to the dean. Colleges in town? Yes, in the screens. Maynard said the boy was a child. The dean didn't take so easy. Well, I took Ralph's money. I guess I already can. Anyway, Maynard said he told the dean to take the boy out of school, and he wasn't put in the building. I must admit, I was very upset. I just don't know half of himself. You remember, did your husband say whether or not he told Ralph? No. He hadn't told him. I did do nothing. He said that was up to the dean. I certainly didn't say anything. So he just knew me. It doesn't seem like much that I ended with, not until I knew more. When I knew more, it wasn't worth it. Dean Michener at the college hadn't told Ralph anything about his uncle's visit the day before. He planned to tell him the next morning. After he heard about the tragedy, he decided the news would keep. I told him where he could reach me, and I rejoined Lieutenant Anders at the hospital. He came up with a murder weapon, out of the half-buried under some brush. The canyon stood down toward the main street. It's an iron. He says it isn't his. Iron's pretty much alike. We're checking his prints against those on the iron. I can't figure Bingham showing up like he did. We wouldn't have known he was there if he hadn't told us. He could have thought Pinkert had told us that he would. We don't know anything about the motive. I'm waiting to put the two of them together. Someone's got to give. Are you good still in bad shape? Okay, thanks. You're right back with me. He did? How? Well, I certainly appreciate your calling me, Dean Michener. Don't be too hard on a Dean. She may have done us all a favor. Ralph did know Collins was taking him out of school. Dean's secretary told him. He did, yeah? Yeah, he did. I'm glad you were motive. We've done. Yeah, I brought the bowling alley. It's there three hours last night. I'd like to check that again if it's okay with you. Go ahead. I'll try anything. I'll have him picked up and brought to you. Sure. I've got pins for him. He bowls the alley three times every week. Wasn't anything different about last night? No. Just knocked the pins down. Yeah? Well, I'm not sure at the time. The book had showed that. Well, that's what the book said. Well, then did you say 7.15 to 10.15? That's right. Well, I quit before 10 last night. You're sure about that? Sure, I'm sure. I was home by 10 a couple of miles from here and I'll tell you something else. No one bowls on my alley from about quarter to 8 o'clock, quarter after. That's when I eat my dinner. The time's fit. Ralph could have made it up to his uncles in fact while the pin girl was eating his dinner. But if he'd driven up the canyon, I think I'd would have heard him. Maybe he hadn't driven up. It was that to consider. Lieutenant Anders was considering a lot of things when I got back. Come on, come in, Donna. Ralph, here we're beginning to open up a letter. He doesn't deny any account of his taking him out of school. Why should I deny it? He's probably in the first one. I'd have to have a better reason than that to kill him. Do you have a better reason, Ralph? I was bowling last night. You weren't bowling from 7.45 till 8.15 when your uncle was killed. The pin girl was having a dinner that I know he does. How about that, Ralph? So maybe I wasn't bowling for you. What'd you do in that half hour? I don't know. Nothing important. Did you leave the bowling alley, Ralph? I don't know. We have the last set of prints, Jim. What prints, Ralph? I didn't have anything to do with school. That's the bowling alley, right? I couldn't stand just walking around knowing what I needed. Me, kind of a little bit. You have to have something heavy, you know, to walk out. To walk out with the tickets? To walk the road. Climb the tour. That's the back door of the house. That's the main door. That's the back porch. You know. We're gonna lay down, wait for it. We'll bring our bags to the tour, we'll wait for it to blow. But you went back again, didn't you? Maybe even have lately, at my mom's. I remember the car first. Why don't you do it, then? James. It was just him. He was being such a generous guy. I always paid him bills. Everybody ramming down my throat all the time. I knew he wasn't so grateful. Thinking about him and women for a long time. That's not what I'm talking about. Sorry, Queen, dear, you've had me so long. I must find out if it's father-in-law. So it corroborated his story, and when they got through telling it to the jury, it was a very quick decision for a justify of a homicide. It spends a count item two, $175, transportation back to Hartford, and miscellaneous, it spends a count total $310. Remarks? The company need only pay the straight-life value of the policy. Double indemnity clause was never even a factor in the case. In view of the real factors involved, I can wish that Maynard Collins had gone over that canyon in an accident. Would have been cleaners and kinders all the way around. That's true. Johnny Dollar. This is Dan Cumberly inviting you to join us next week at this time when Edmund O'Brien returns. And George Truly Johnny Dollar. Edmund O'Brien again. I'd like to speak to you for a moment about one of the most important duties of American citizens. Today every American has an opportunity to share in our common defense effort, and right now this opportunity has become a duty for all of us. The armed forces of the United States need blood, our blood. The Korean campaign has gravely depleted the supply on hand, and this must be replenished if we are to afford our service when the protection they are giving us. No matter what your age, sex, or a station in life, you can contribute to American defense by donating a pint of your blood to the men of your army, navy, air force, or marines. Call your local blood donor center or Red Cross chapter today for an appointment. Remember, your donation of blood may save the life of wounded sources. Give your blood today to save a life tomorrow. A little earlier, we mentioned the ladies will be on CBS Radio tomorrow night. Now here are the men. My friend Irma shares her lazy-boy friend Al with one and all. If you like them older, there is Professor Kropotkin. For a date that's shy, try Mr. Boynton, the object of Eve Arden's affection as our Miss Brooks. Enjoy the fun with these men on most of these sane CBS radio stations tomorrow night. This is CBS Radio Network.
