Speaker 6

Close to it, and he runs an auction room.

Speaker 2

Yeah, as a front for something illegal.

I don't know what it is, but you know, wanting to buy a chair will give me an excuse to snoop around Slogem's auction room.

After all, how far apart can iniquity and antiquity be any more?

Bits for this delicate set of bone?

Shut up now?

Speaker 6

Claire, and don't get the double caught for it?

Speaker 2

And Bezy didn't get what he wanted?

Speaker 6

And who sat on the floor.

Speaker 2

It's busy.

Yes, we can't leave him there, Cliff, help me get him into this barrel, and then what we're going to take the barrel down to my boat.

And we're going to drop Beesy and the barrel into the water.

Oh any more questions, Cliff, Yes, thirday you found all these identifications on the body.

Speaker 6

See guide.

Speaker 5

The quest said the body hadn't been touched by any besides he nothing was taken.

Speaker 2

Of course, something was taken.

What there was no identification on him, no fingerprint record on him.

There were no laundry cleaning marks on his clothes.

So because all this stuff was brand new, well who was he?

I don't know.

What about the person who discovered the body.

That was an elderly couple, but the guide let him get away when he went to college grave.

The guy is stabbed to death in the middle of a crowded bus.

No identification, no nothing.

Speaker 4

You know.

Speaker 2

The only thing good about this case is Boston Blackie, isn't it?

Speaker 6

Hey?

Boy?

How much further?

Speaker 2

A little more, Cliff, I want to get beyond the coast patrol.

Speaker 6

I don't like it.

Speaker 2

Supposed to catch it, I wan, yeah, but if they make it stop to find Visi's body on his boat, I don't like it.

I tell you I should have left you in the auction room, Cliff, I would think of looking in a barrel from body.

Nobody can't help.

But I still don't like.

I didn't like killing him, but it had to be done because he killed Joe Gates for me, trying to blackmail me.

All right, Cliff, cut the motor, what now, boys, help me roll this barrel over to the side.

Okay, I'll hold it, I'll push it in the water.

In what you're doing that?

Gun?

Boys, I'm gonna ventilate this barrel.

Why hey, are you going crazy?

Yeah?

He's shooting that barrel.

Speaker 6

Bes he's dead, you know that.

Speaker 2

What's the idea?

I'm just making sure that Bees's body doesn't float to the surface.

Hadter we dump it?

Ah, with all those holes in the barrel, a little sink right to the bottom, and I want be c to be gone a long time.

Uh huh Okay, Cliff, Liff, he goes easy now.

I don't want to stopping over with the barrow.

Speaker 6

Okay, I got it.

Speaker 2

Now do I hear any more bits for this genuine antique barrel?

Speaker 2

And whoever put it there doesn't have much left.

Speaker 7

Something else have been in the hurry Black He left his hat there too.

Speaker 2

Yeah, paint on the hat the same color as on the door frame.

Initials inside the band the b J b J H.

Speaker 6

I think this b J left his blood, his hat in his life here, Oh, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 2

Speaker 4

That is.

Speaker 6

This is Blackie inspecting.

Have you found any bodies lately?

Speaker 2

Why?

Am I cool?

Sometimes I wonder I don't have anybody.

You have no head either, So that's abnormal enough.

What about the dead body you've got down to the headquarters right now?

Hey, were you on that side seeing bus?

Speaker 6

Oh?

Was that way from him?

If you didn't know?

Well, have you identified him yet?

Speaker 2

We're working on it.

Speaker 6

Good luck, Blackie Friday.

His initials b j oh.

That makes everything nice and easy.

Speaker 2

There can't be more than a million paper with those initials.

Well, look, you've got to do some work, you know.

Well, I can tell you what the body looks like.

He looks like he was dead.

Okay, genius, I'm listening.

He's about six foot one and wears a hat size and seven and eight.

Speaker 6

I got not with you, genius.

Speaker 2

What the corpses five to four is hat size and six and a half.

Huh, good mind, genius.

I'm busy.

Speaker 4

Premium quality, yes, sir, premium quality that is yours to enjoy at no premium in price.

Speaker 2

Now that's something worth remembering.

But every time you pour your glass of Champagne Velvet, you're reminded that you're enjoying a real premium quality beer at no premium in price.

You know, of course, that more costly malt and grain, higher priced hops, and more careful and costly brewing methods are all a part of CV's famous million dollar formula.

So CV has to have unmistakable premium quality.

Cev's flavor tells you all of that.

It's bright and sparkling, light and lively from full to finish, with a rich, robust and full bodied flavor of a real, honest to goodness beer, real premium quality beer.

But that's not all.

It has a clear, clean taste given it by controlled aging, a taste that makes you sure it's pure.

Speaker 4

And it's smooth, smooth, smooth, just as smooth.

Speaker 2

Now back to Boston.

Blackie z Jones, a killer, trails Joe Gates on a sightseeing bus and stabs him to death when Vez tries to get more money for the job from Boss Slocum, owner of an auction room, Slocum kills Beezy and dumps him in the ocean because Mary wants to buy a chair.

Blackie uses this as a pretext to search Slocum's place.

Blackie finds a puddle of blood in a hat with the initials b J in it.

Speaker 6

Blackie calls Instea the.

Speaker 2

Paradise, but Paraday is working on the murder of Joe Gates and Beezy's death has not as yet been reported.

Speaker 6

I just wanted to see how they operates.

Friday.

Speaker 2

What kept him?

What kept me?

Speaker 6

Yeah?

Speaker 2

And I'll tell you it's like this.

We've been trying to identify the body we found in the bus.

Any luck, Yeah, we managed to get results once in a while.

Corp, says Joe Gates.

I know who killed him, the same way you identified the corps.

You never saw Buck Blackie.

Why don't you take a vacation from being a past beat it relaxed Friday.

I'm a taxpayer and headquarters of civic property.

Besides, the elderly couple who farm, Gates dead and the bus were just here.

Speaker 6

Well where are they now?

I sent them home?

You what they told me?

Everything they knew.

Speaker 2

They described the guys sitting next to Gates on the bus, and I'm sure it was Jones.

Why didn't you say so?

Now all we have to do is find VZ Jones.

Speaker 6

We have our case.

You're not quite why not?

Beezy's dead?

Remember I thought your corps had the initial vj Oh, so that was your corpse?

All right?

Speaker 2

Where is it?

Speaker 6

I don't know?

Speaker 2

You say, I was doing some investigating in the back of slogans or slogan?

Where does he come into this?

Now?

What do you talk?

Speaker 6

If you will stop making so much noise, maybe you learn something.

Speaker 2

Okay, teacher, go ahead.

Speaker 6

But I better be good.

It is I found blood in the back of Slogan's place and near the blood are half of the initials VJ in here.

Speaker 2

So so Slogan is supposed to be running a legitimate auction room.

Yeah, but I think it's a front for stolen goods.

There's your case Fatday where Gates tried to pull some kind of a stunt or Slocum hired Bes to take care of him, and then Slocum killed Vzy.

Yeah, it's all tied in with this racket in the auction room.

Yeah, why don't you investigate Slogan's place, Farthing, Maybe you'll find auctions speak louder.

Speaker 6

Than the words.

Speaker 7

He still having found a chair Blackie, and.

Speaker 2

Faraday still is looking for a killer.

Look, Mary, I think I can wind up this case.

Speaker 6

I need your help.

How about it?

Speaker 2

Well, I did want to get back to my place to change his grin.

Speaker 3

Well what do you want me to do?

Speaker 2

You want to go to Slogan and pose as BZ Jones's girl.

Well, that's the idea.

Speaker 6

Tell him, Bez told you all about the racket, the auction room being a front for stolen goods, and so forth, and and.

Speaker 2

And Bezy taking care of Joe Gates of course, and tell him Beezy kept the record of all this work.

Speaker 3

You mean dial Yeah, some sort of a little record book.

Speaker 6

And he's left it in your apartment just in case anything happens to him.

He's pretty draped over that bow.

Are you all right, Mary?

Yes, Blacky, But how did you get here?

Speaker 3

You're supposed to meet me at my apartment.

Speaker 2

Well, when you left, I remember the pain of your sleeve and realized that if Slocum saw it, he put two and two together.

Speaker 3

He did, Blackie.

Speaker 7

He wanted one of his gunman Clipped to kill me, but Cliff wouldn't, so Slocum killed him, and he stepped him into his barrel.

Speaker 3

It was awful.

Speaker 6

I take it easy, Mary, Yeah, how did you get here?

Well, when I realized what mine happened, I got down to the auction room just in time to see you drive here with Slocan.

Speaker 3

Oh boy, am I glad you did?

Speaker 2

What do we do now?

Speaker 6

Call inspect the Friday and tell him we have his killer over a bowl?

Speaker 4

Make mine c V because for me there is no fine air beer, and it's just as smooth.

Speaker 6

Make mine CEV.

Speaker 2

So many folks who no good beer when they taste it have said just that time after time that Champaign Velvet is not only the leading beer by far in its home state of Indiana, but it is preferred by particular people everywhere that it is sold.

There is only one reason for that, and that is flavor.

The bright, sparkling, light and lively flavor of a real premium quality beer, premium quality that costs you no premium in price.

The rich, robust and full bodied flavor of real, honest to goodness beer.

And the clear, clean taste that makes you sure it's pure.

Speaker 4

So make yours, CEV, because for you, there is no finer beer.

Speaker 6

You're sure it's pure.

Speaker 4

And it's just as smooth.

Speaker 2

And now here is a preview of what happens next week.

Speaker 7

Flaty, What are you doing home on such a gorgeous day?

Speaker 6

Waiting for you to come over so we can take off for a drive on the country.

Speaker 2

Uh?

Speaker 1

You want me to answer?

Speaker 4

Black?

Speaker 3

You're should we ignore it?

Speaker 2

Han't?

Speaker 6

Better take it?

Otherwise I'll be wondering all day.

Who was calling?

Huh hello, Hello?

That's funny.

There was somebody on the phone and when he heard my voice he hung up.

Speaker 3

Now you know what they say about uh when a man answered.

Speaker 6

Oh, good night.

Now there's somebody at the door.

Speaker 4

Well I'll take it this time.

Speaker 7
