3/30/58 "The Killer's List Matter" (AFRS) (24:14) Matter #582 Bob Bailey, Virginia Gregg (Claire Benton), Lillian Buyeff (Mrs. Carr), Jack Edwards (Pat Cummings), Jack Moyles (Det. Lt. Tovich), Tony Barrett (Larry Santis), Parley Baer (Alvin Whiting), Carleton G. Young (hotel clerk) ; Writer - Robert Ryf ; Producer/Director - Jack Johnstone; Announcer - Dan Cubberly ; Expense Account Total - $146.50 ; Armed Forces Radio & TV Service ; Pat Cummings, Inter-Allied Life Insurance Company, Hartford, calls Johnny about a matter of a $100,000 policy on wealthy Everett Benton, 45 years old, who has been pushed or jumped or fell out of the window to his death. His 33 year old red-head wife, Claire, is the beneficiary. Johnny meets Claire who suggests that her marriage with Everett was not good and that his death must have been suicide ... oh, and by the way, she says she has an air-tight alibi. Detective Lieutenant Tovich says that Claire's alibi involves Larry Santis, who runs a supper club, The Ace of Clubs. Johnny meets him but he is stone walled. Johnny meets with Tovich again says a cigarette butt at the scene suggests another person had been in the room when Benton fell. A call comes in, another man has recently fallen ten floors at the Westside Hotel to his death, Arthur Mayfield. Alvin Whiting seeks out Dollar to offer some valuable information. Benton, Mayfield and he were partners in purchasing an oil lease from a man named Tom Noland. What had originally seemed like a worthless oil field was found to contain millions of dollars worth of oil just last week. Alvin says that Noland is nuts and probably killed the two men for warped revenge reasons and he fears he may be the next victim. Tovich and Dollar go to Noland's hotel room. He isn't there but he has been renting the room for one week. Dollar finds that Santis had bailed Noland out of jail last year. Santis says that Noland is his uncle, but he hasn't heard from him in six months and he thinks he is in Coopersville. Johnny goes to Coopersville and learns from Mrs. Carr that Tom passed away last week. Johnny checks out the gravestone and is set upon by Alvin Whiting, but in an exchange of gunfire Johnny prevails. Alvin was in a bad financial way. Never try to frame a guy who is already dead.

Missed Johnny and Joe. Made it for Gunsmoke; and yes, also looking forward to the Fog. I like the scary stuff (the way it was done back then)

That was intense! It’s amazing that the hardcore drug problem was thriving even in the ‘50s.

Evening, Vision.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Oh my. XM 164 is playing “The Maltese Falcon” with the original film cast - Bogie, Greenstreet, Lorre. That’s gonna trump Gunsmoke, for me.

I'm getting a shower, lighting a candle, turning down the lights, grabbing a hunk of Italian sub, and gearing up for 'The Night The Fog Came'.
