We listen to your channel and Johnny Dollar during warmer weather nights in Wisconsin outside in the backyard by the fire. Thank you for sharing this awesome show with us.

Love Bob Baily, his voice was made for Radio. He is the one and only Johnny Dollar. The rest pail in comparison. Great Episode!

@MichaelDegen: Excellent editing, thank you.😊

You're welcome. I save about 10-12 minutes per 5 part story. No real need for all of that music at the end of each episode, or the endless amount of CBS promos.

Definitely a different time lol. Now days beating the hell out of someone you think is guilty without proof to get a "confession" wouldn't exactly be tolerated. Genuinely cracks me up that back in the day this was considered good detective work. or good vigilantism. Certainly a confession like that would be ignored in the courts anyway. But it's amusing what folks even just 50-70 years ago considered heroic compared to today. Still I enjoy listening to old time radio. Entertaining in various different ways. It's interesting to hear what people use to consider heroic or funny. but I appreciate NPR replaying these old programs. I always enjoyable.

Police cannot beat people up in real life because of all the cameras, but I notice that they still do on movies and television, where you ABSOLUTELY know the person deserves it.

[@arthurtaylor2593]

Well, like you said, you can't beat a confession out of someone even if they are guilty. Supposedly true back then too, but probably not nearly as well enforced. But, still... when the dude is guilty, and when there probably will be evidence eventually ("Aiken's a good cop"), it's almost moot. As we say in our household, "Johnny will get 'em!"

In this story, Johnny Dollar acts like a complete idiot. Why? He's usually pretty savvy, and knows that lying to the police is not wise, but he lies twice or more to one policeman and withholds information from another. I just don't get it. Usually he works well with the police. He could have gotten help and possibly have solved the case sooner had he cooperated with law enforcement.
