 From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny Duller This is Carol Johnny. Oh, hello Carol. I've made the arrangement with Madame Morgana Morgana. Good. What time? 8 o'clock. Only it's across the river in New Jersey. What do you have dinner with me? I'd love. Pick you up in your penthouse at 6? I'll be waiting. Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey and the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly Johnny Duller Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny Duller location New York City To the Universal Adjustment Bureau Hartford, Connecticut Following is an accounting of expenditure is during my investigation of the matter of the medium well done Some pretty strong pressure was being put on Carol Sharp to change the beneficiaries of her hundred and ten thousand dollar life policy And she was very much under the influence of a psychic medium who insisted that she be named as one of the two new beneficiaries The other was to be a Tony Ricardo whose father made quite a record for himself and the bootlicking gang's today's of the roaring 20s I met him at Susan Palmer's Oyster Bar over in Radio City. I must admit I was surprised at the sort of fellow he turned out to be I guess it was a little Well, they extreme to threaten you that way Mr. Duller. That's putting it mildly But this whole spiritualism business and the whole it has on Carol That has me terribly concerned. You don't like spiritualism. I didn't say that You know just as well as I do there are great many fine honest spiritualists in the city But as another the other feeler of frauds rack of tears, so I've heard it's not only true religions But businesses professions anything sure sure but now look here Tony dollar I will not have you or anyone else leaving Carol on this medium who's already has such a hold on it You understand pardon me Tony your background is showing what I say come off it this kind of act won't work What are you talking about do you think? I don't know you're one of the two Carol wants to name his beneficiaries of her policy you in that medium That's not my doing. Who's doing is it that medium Morgana Morgana? Taking Carol's money by the hundreds week after week now you've come along to encourage and dollar I tell you to stop it Tony maybe that story you gave her about dreaming of her over and over when you were a kid and Couldn't even have known about it was true, but I don't believe Tony that was made up by the whole clock. I still Why this funny decision to switch your policy around is the case. I'm assigned to Wait a minute. You mean that yes I had to meet her somehow so I use that device knowing she might fall for it because of her implicit belief in such things But now you're encouraging this whole thing. You're even going to see this Morgana Morgana with her tonight because if she is a phony It's the only way I can show this to Carol well I hope and pray that you can mr. Dollar Some of the best psychic investigators in the country have been stumped by her How are you gonna go about it? I won't know until I've seen her operate. Even then I may not know Or maybe this medium isn't a fraud. Oh come on, of course she is but you can't prove it But you or somebody must Carol change your policy and and and then turn up dead Won't be easy mr. Dollar I've attended these sayances with carol many of them I've been times when I've almost been convinced myself wait Wait here some more coffee, please. No, no no more for me. Thanks You're gonna need it Tony because I'm gonna keep you here until you've told me every detail You can remember of this madam Morgana Morgana seance procedure All right, I hope you all I can you'd better I'm still not forgetting that if I fall down on this job, you'll cut into carol's insurance for any $30,000 In spite of your sweet talk I'll say this for tony ricardo. He was thorough And I began to believe that he was serious and is concerned for carol Item 12 10 cents one fold call to tommy green No, no johnny. No trouble at all and getting the rundown on carol's family that she has for us. Keep talking Apparently they're doing all right there in mochampiae Neither the mother or two brothers will ever have to really get out and dig for living They're all men left and well set up, huh?

Just dumb luck. Now, who knows randy. Maybe you're psychic Now leave us not have that stuff. Where is he? We're on. He's 53rd street not two blocks from that palatial joint where you're staying. Is he there now? Nobody always comes in just for dinner time He has still haven't told me why you're interested in him. I'm not sure myself But do me a favor would you like what when he shows up put a tail on him I want to know where he goes how long he stays and when he comes back But you won't say why not until I'm sure I know why Thanks randy. Yeah, but I haven't said thanks boy Dinner with carol could have been one of the pleasantest things in years But i'm afraid i was preoccupied with matters at hand and she with anticipation She's promised to try to hear from daddy again tonight Oh, johnny. I so want to speak to him again Finally, I signed the check we hopped into a taxi and headed across the river to the jersey side We ended up at a rather plain but nice home somewhere on the outskirts of my guess at union city We were met at the door by a matron of about 45 I should say who looked like an ordinary respectable housewife except perhaps for her quick discerning eyes Good evening carol my dear Oh, and you must be mr. Johnny dollard. Yes, uh, madame morgana morgana. Yes Do come in and meet the others who are here to form the circle tonight. Thank you carol. Thank you Carol told me nothing about you except over riddico dreams of her an amazing experience, isn't it? Perhaps you're really psychic. Oh, I doubt that But all our friends thought my kid brother richard was Before he died a couple of years ago richard richard That name has been haunting me ever since carol telephoned You don't suppose What madame? Oh, no, of course not Now, um here in the parlor are the others who will be with us tonight Uh, may I present mr. Johnny dollard. This is Dorothy jesson. How do you do mr. John prides? Mr. Sandal fro look all right, and of course you all know carol sharp. Good evening I see no reason why we shouldn't start The atmosphere has seemed almost electric tonight Very conducive to good contact with the shall we say the nether world and Oh, oh, yes, you may smoke if you like mr. Dollar. We're very informal Oh, I'm sorry just sort of a nervous habit. I guess flicking this lighter. Oh, um, incidentally, I I hope you tell these people of your dreams after we're finished Oh dear the atmosphere is tense We should begin right away here. Well, yes, I'll I'll Turn on some music The six of us sat down in a small circle On the floor were three long slender metal trumpets like halloween horns But made of thin metal spaced about the center of the circle In the subdued conversation of the next few minutes I learned it was through these that the spirit voices would come to us That they would rise in the air and the voices would issue from them From time to time they're in the pitch black room. I snapped the cap of my lighter As a reminder of what it was You mustn't lie to dana, you know no danger. This one hasn't even got a flood in it I do hope we get some messages today I think we will mr. Fowler I have a Feeling that we will I have that feeling too very strongly From what madame told us you must have definite psychic powers mr. Dalla that should be helpful wait Wait the power's here I feel it almost as though she were suffering physical pain. We are ready the medium side and gassed And we waited and waited It's hard to describe the tension that comes of waiting that way in a completely darkened room And it's easy to see how well the imagination can work the powers of suggestion There was a slight sound one of the trumpets I heard move. Yes. Yes, so did I That means that they are with us It seemed to move toward you Carol I hope so Yes, I can feel it in the air near me Father Father father can you speak to me? There's so many things I wish to ask you Yes, dear Yes It may not sound like much to tell but believe me. This was impressive The deathlike silence broken only by the faint voice from the trumpet The whispered questions by carol An occasional sigh from the medium And the shutter of my special camera, which I hope sounded enough like my lighter had sounded Yes, carol Always do the things I tell you to and you give me great happiness In this lonely This father Johnny, do you see do you see because only he and I know the things we talked about? The trumpet is still near us John Yes Richard Yes, John It's so long to speak to you Dick My brother the brief conversation I carried on with my dead brother Richard was amazing Of things in my childhood that I thought nobody else even knew about Personal intimate things that can only be known to a brother or someone equally close It was fantastic amazing awe inspiring Except for one thing I never had a brother I didn't tell this to anyone I played it straight and even stayed around and discussed my trumped up dreams after the seance But I needed proof and I couldn't wait to get back to new york to the police lab where I could develop the infrared film and my little camera Now here's our star to tell you about the final intriguing episode of this week's story tomorrow the wind up And a bit of heartbreak for a very chastened girl Join us won't you yours truly Johnny dollar yours truly johnny dollar starring bob bailey is transcribed in hollywood It is produced and directed by jack johnstone who also wrote tonight's story Be sure to join us tomorrow night same time and station for the next exciting episode of yours truly johnny dollar Roy rohan speaking
