 From Hollywood, it's time now for Johnny Duller. I have a call for you from Hartford Go ahead, please Johnny right here Connors at Paramount adjusters I sure am I think it'll bring the whole thing out in the open Jim I have a copy of the corners in quest concrete evidence that Mrs. Henderson lied under oath She said her husband was drinking the morning. He died Everybody here believed he was a little crocked when he fell out that hotel window I've got proof that he didn't have a drink that morning. What proof no bottle in his room No bottle brought there nothing. What do you say? Tonight and every week day night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator does truly Johnny Duller Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny Duller to Paramount insurance adjusters Hartford, Connecticut The following is an accounting of expenditure is during my investigation of the Henderson matter Sheriff Holton agree that there was enough of a doubt about the circumstances prior to George Henderson's Accidental death to warrant an official re-examination of all the facts He promised me the police would start an immediate investigation. That was all I needed I knew Mrs. Henderson would be re-questioned and that the pressure would start to build up 14 hours later when Tim Connors arrived in Culver. I had some pressure of my own Well Johnny what well the best thing we can do now is move in deny liability on the grounds that the accident is not proved I suppose Mrs. Henderson Susie's all right letter then the burden of proving that her husband's death was accidental would be on her Look Tim contrary to her testimony under oath Henderson didn't have a drink that morning. He died. All right She made a mistake. He had a heart attack got dizzy and tumbled out of the window He wasn't drunk. Oh, don't talk nonsense Tim. Listen to me Mrs. Henderson was ready for the coroner's jury a couple of days ago and she was ready for my questions when I saw her yesterday The only one she wasn't ready for was you a few days ago when you phoned a long distance. You said she hung up on you Well, she half apologized to me for that, but it was because she couldn't think of anything to say Yeah, maybe you're right, but suppose he did die accidentally and suppose it is a just insurance. I tell you it isn't And the fact that she made a mistake testifying about him having a drink and Hey Johnny, do you have anything else three things instinct experience and statistics? Pauline Henderson's a young woman. She married a wealthy older man with him out of the way She has all his money and all her youth all right. I'm gonna phone the company soon as I can find a phone Tell them I'm working for evidence and the best way to get it is to bring Mrs. Henderson out in the open file a complaint against her What charge? Suspected murder. Oh no Johnny that get us in all kinds of trouble remember the drink Tim Henderson didn't have the drink And I will have to have more than that. I'm sorry Johnny. All right. I'll get you more an hour later I was with Sheriff Holton comparing notes He reported that after questioning Mrs. Henderson She admitted she might have been mistaken about Henderson drinking the morning of his death. She wasn't sure But if Holton said what we both were thinking He went in front of the coroners during gave a misleading impression son made us think that George was drunk and stumbled out the window Yeah, we better find out who helped her pull this off Sheriff Holton had every man in his office working on the case by then It was a long tedious job of combing over everything and Pauline Henderson's background to find a possible accomplice About five in the afternoon. I drove to the Henderson ranch with Holton. Mrs. Henderson was out, but we interviewed one of the servants That's right sir once twice a week. Uh-huh. You know where she drove to on these trips I have no idea. Mrs. Henderson get up early in the morning be gone all day. How do you know she went out of town? Well, generally take a small suitcase with her change her clothes You don't take those when you're visiting a friend in town. Do you tell us what car she'd use on these trips Cadillac? Always come back covered with mud nice must have to be washed up Mr. Henderson used to complain about that about the car being dirty about the trips mostly In Mrs. Henderson had some pretty good arguments about him. He'd say Mrs. Henderson shouldn't visit that man What man just that man, I never knew who it was they argued about You've known Mrs. Henderson quite a long time. Yes, sir Nor when she was a little girl when she first came here saw her grow up go away school go away to Europe Come back a little more grown-up a little different every time were you surprised when mr. Henderson buried her well, no Well, yes, guess I was because she was so much younger not that so much I mean well, mr. Henderson. He had something about the plains and cattle Mountains about him when he moved it was as big as all them things Mrs. Henderson is different. She didn't fit in here. Is that what you're trying to say? I think she fit not like him though before they were married. They were sort of like good friends I mean they'd ride horses and go hunting and laugh and talk about different things Mrs. Henderson she traveled Europe saw so many things and places in the world She fit here, but then she didn't belong here. I Feel awful about mr. Henderson's being dead There was anything wrong with the way he died. I'd like to be fixed Mrs. Henderson probably fire me for talking like this, but I don't care this house Isn't the same no more By the time we got back into town Sheriff Holden's boys that discovered the names of three men who had been seen at various places around Culver and the company of Mrs. Henderson Rod Tyler Oh, who's he? Mining engineer he's been away from here for over a year now You know here's another one Sam Pollard Sam died six months ago Hey, what no a Baxter Baxter that name is vaguely familiar Yeah, he owns a hotel you're staying in a couple of ranches too. Well, he might have been the one who tried to have you thrown out He also owns the mayor young man about 30 35 Let's go see him Another drive this time north of Culver to the Baxter ranch We found no a Baxter busy with his help shoring horns on cattle a lean tall man with thin features If you're trying to find out if I haven't seen Pauline on the sly while she'd been married to George Why don't you come right out now? All right. Have you know not on the slide There's nothing between us George knew any time she came over here to see me He was good friend of mine. I'm sorry. He's dead Pauline's good friend of mine too. I'm sorry who people are thinking what you are about us Let's go up the house getting cold All right Stan. That's enough for today No, I got to ask you this Where were you last Thursday the day George died sir? Yeah, I was right here and you prove that Sure ask anybody You boys want a drink? No, thanks. Now now I do Mac Mac get it myself When was the last time you were in Culver, mr. Baxter three four weeks ago my cook and the others handled what supplies we need Do you mind if we talk to some of your help around here? No What do you want to talk to my butt about last Thursday about what happened when mrs. Henderson came here to visit? It wouldn't look good if she came here to visit me would it? Well, that depends on the circumstances. No She'd come and sit there and read and look at some of those paintings we talked When I had time Anything wrong with that? No Mr. Baxter, I think I ought to tell you I've asked my company to file a complaint against mrs. Henderson Suspicion of murder. Oh I'd like to tell you something She didn't kill him and she didn't have him killed she loved him a lot more than George loved her I think both you know her her dad was a drunken cow hand when he died George took her over gave her everything So you see you're wrong She loved George for giving her what he gave her and mostly for being the kind of a man he was I Lied to you a couple of minutes ago There was something between us It was bound to happen sooner later She'd come here to cry on my shoulder and I My letter cry about George He wanted to divorce her Didn't you know that I had the idea was the other way around Oh You're all wrong George raised her educated her made her into a woman and then he married her and she wasn't what he wanted at all You know who George wanted to marry Maddie Nickerbocker the schoolman Come on although there was nothing between George and Maddie, but there would have been if he'd lived What about you and mrs. Henderson? Yeah, the thing that was between us was that I wanted her She didn't want me, but I wanted her I Was glad when she told me about the divorce coming up. I really think she would have listened to me But she wanted to be married to George She really loved him Sure, you don't want one of these no no and I really loved her I Went to see George last Thursday his hotel You know why to tell him to go back to Pauline Yeah, because I knew what he meant to her You can talk to my people around here They'd lie for me and say I was here last Thursday all day They tell you that Pauline never came to see me. They'd lie right down the line for me But mr. Dollar, I can't let you get out that complaint and take her in One of my trucks was taking some beef to the hotel last Thursday. I Rode in with the driver and went in the back way I Went right up to George's room to talk to him Pauline had just left I Wanted to talk to him about the same things. I've been telling you I didn't want to hurt him I loved him the same as everybody loved him When I got to his room, he wouldn't let me talk at all.
