In this gripping episode of "Calling All Cars," we delve into a tale of crime, love, and betrayal. The story unfolds with a police broadcast about a burglary and murder, leading us into the life of Tom, a sailor with a questionable past, and Mary, his devoted wife. As Tom's involvement in criminal activities becomes apparent, Mary finds herself torn between her love for him and the harsh reality of his actions. The narrative explores the consequences of bad associations and the impact of crime on personal relationships, culminating in a dramatic confrontation with the law.
Deputy Chief Harry F. Seager of the Los Angeles Police Department introduces the case, emphasizing the lessons to be learned about crime as a losing proposition. As the story progresses, we witness Mary's struggle with her husband's criminal lifestyle and her eventual entanglement in his illegal activities. The episode highlights the themes of loyalty, deception, and justice, as Tom faces the repercussions of his choices, ultimately leading to a courtroom verdict that seals his fate.

Calling All Cars, a copyrighted program created by Rio Grande. Offended the police calling all cars, attention all cars, broadcast 187 regarding a burglary and murder. The site described as male American about six feet tall, has a butterfly tattooed on his left arm. That's all. Those include. Next week, I'm going to start my vacation. This evening, we'll try to tell you a story on the narrations on calling old cars in very capable hands. On my vacation, I'm going to do some things I've wanted to do for a long time. I'm going to hear calling all cars just as you hear it. And I'm going to have time to try and find out for myself why people buy certain brands of gasoline.
I cannot believe the saying that ignorance is blissed. Yet when even the worst gasoline in the law of liberty sold claims not to pick up more mileage greater power and motors pay good money for it, it. Ignorance must be lifted. There are just as many grades of gasoline as there are grades of food, cosmetics, clothes, or anything else you buy. There are many poor grades of gasoline. There are many good gasoline and a few best gasoline. Of these few best of these few best Gatherines, what definite tangible proof? What a finished fact is given you as a guide to your Gatherines purchase? We openly extend to you a cordial invitation to try based on the fact that those who buy the most gasoline and those to whom the finest gasoline is an absolute necessity have overwhelmingly chosen Rio Grande class.
When you buy Rio Grande class gasoline, no guess work is involved. Folks in the low side, but for example, the two largest units of gasoline in California have specified Rio Grande De Klaas gasoline for years and have just renewed these convoys. Over 30 other cities and counties have selected Rio Grande the track as the finest gasoline obtainable to power their police cars, fire engines, ambulances, and other emergency equipment. Let these facts guide you to your independent Rio Grande Dealer tomorrow. Now it is our privilege to present mister Harry f Seager, deputy chief of the Los Angeles Police Department. T Seager. Crime in any form has consistently been shown on this program as a losing proposition.
The case we are to hear tonight is no exception. There are many aspects to the situation which, of necessity, must be less on such, not because of any fear of reprisal, but because the element of time presents their being treated fully. This case is particularly interesting for the lesson that teaches regarding bad association. One of the principles in the story probably never would have come in contact with the police, except for this association. I see that our production is ready, so I'll save a few highlights to the end of the program. In a little cottage on a secluded street in San Diego, a young girl stands watching from a window.
Her mother is busy preparing dinner.

You won't come any quicker, dear, for you'll watch me. I know, mother. I wish you weren't so in love with Tom, Mary. Just spouting me a little. My mother, I do believe you're being an old lady. Just wait until you have a daughter of your own young woman. You'll see what I mean then. I know what you mean darling. But I know you're wrong about Tom and I'm not so sure about that. I wish I was as proud of him as you are. Whoever, is it is it because Tom's a sailor that you don't like me? Oh Lord, no child. Why some of the best lads I ever knew were sailing. Now there's nothing wrong about being a sailor. Even just why have you taken for the good life of Tom? As a matter of fact, dear, I I don't dislike him. But there's something about that boy that makes you feel uneasy when he's around you. My mother, how could a demon be when he seems to look at you with such a well, such a pathetic look.

Mary is taken to the prison ward of the county hospital. A dragon head is thrown about the district where the crime was committed. But evidently, Foley had made good as a chase. Officers had dispatched to Now we just want to get at the truth about this. If you're innocent you have nothing to fear. Shouldn't I have a lawyer? Yes. I suppose you should if you want to. But even though anything you say may be used against you, on the other hand, anything you say in your favor, I'll use for you.
[00:20:05] Unknown:
What do you want to know? You're married. Yes. How long have you been married?
[00:20:11] Unknown:
About two weeks. What is your husband's name?
[00:20:15] Unknown:
Tom Philippe. What does he do for a living?
[00:20:18] Unknown:
He's a sailor. What's his? Arizona. How long has he been about his ship? I don't know. Has he deserted his ship? I don't know. Was your husband with you tonight? Yes. How did you happen to go to that house? I went with Paul. Did he compare you to go? No. You went of your own accord? Yes. Why? If he promised to stop. Yes, to stop.
[00:20:52] Unknown:
If he promised to stop breaking into faith if I go with him. And you believed him? Yes.
[00:20:59] Unknown:
Do you still love your husband? Yes. Even though he ran away and left you to face the police? I'll always love it. Why did you have a gun?
[00:21:10] Unknown:
I meant it's too much. Why? I knew that everything was over. It seemed calm in me. Yes, you went with him. Yes. I didn't want anything to happen to him. He didn't seem to care if something happened to you. He didn't need to run away. Missus Foley,
[00:21:27] Unknown:
if it's any comfort to you, I want to tell you that you cannot be compelled to testify against your husband. Oh, I'm glad. Please don't ask me more questions. Please don't. I missed the Clark, I got Foley. I bring him down the headquarters right away. Tell him I'll be right down. Yes, sir. Well, missus Foley, it looks like the end for your husband. Well, if only you seem to have been in an hour later, leave town. Where were you going? Frisco. Isn't your ship in San Pedro? Yes. If I report it in Frisco, it would have been alright. Then you weren't deserving. No. What do you call at sending yourself on your ship for the length of time you've been gone without departing aboard?
I wasn't deserving. Why did you run away and leave your wife last night? Figured I could do a more good house than if I was in jail. It didn't occur to you that you were being rather cowardly. No. I figured I could help her if I was out. You didn't think you might help her if you saved her? I didn't think about it. Why did you kill that officer? I didn't kill anybody. It was Jack. Who's Jack? Jack Redmond. Where does this Redmond live? I don't know. Where do you meet him when you plan these jobs of yours? It's Solomon's dancehall. It's six Solomon's on that officer. Yes, sir. Did you say Redmond fired this up to kill McGee?
Yes. Did you ever done at the time? No. Your wife says you did. Then keep telling a deliberate lie. Girl, ain't missus Foley in here. You can't get away with this. That's what you say. Sit down, missus Foley. Thank you. Missus Foley, did you see any other man with your husband last night? No, sir. Did your husband have a gun? Yes. What kind? Large one. Large one or a small?
[00:23:36] Unknown:
Large one. That's a lie. I never had a dog. Oh, Tom. Officer,
[00:23:41] Unknown:
bring in that Irene woman. Yes sir. You didn't know we'd picked her up, did you Paul? What difference does that make? It's yes miss Clark. Irene, Tom here claims he never owned a gun. Is that true? How could I know? Didn't you see him take a gun with him when he left his apartment last night? Your guess is as good as mine. How do you like to be locked up as a material witness in this case? You can't do that to me. That's what you think. Think. Take her out of here. Talk her up since she's ready to talk. Wait a minute.
[00:24:13] Unknown:
Surely had it done. I saw it alright with an automatic. Now can I go? Can I? Ma'am, get her out of here.
[00:24:23] Unknown:
I will trust you to know, Holy, that sisters, your shipmate from the Arizona say that you told them you intended deserving, going into the business of holding up people and robbing homes. That's a lie too. They also testify that you owned a 45 automatic stolen from the Arizona. That's a lie. You know that a 45 bullet killed McGee? I don't know anything about it. It's a bullet. There's evidence of having been issued from government stores. So what? And And that bullet was passed from your gun. Ain't what the proof? That's we intend to. What did you do with that gun? I told it. Where? To a felon lawsuit.
I thought you didn't own a gun. Well that was before. I don't know, go on. Before what? I ain't caught. Oh yes you are. I don't have to. You claim a Jack Redman if I had those shots left. Might have killed officer McGee. Yes. And rather to tell us how we confirmed this threat, I don't know where he is. I checked up Solomon's stance almost the clock and he says, you never heard of a Jack Redman. That's what I expected. Thanks officer. Well for me. Well what? Have you anything to say to that? Ain't talking no more. I think you've said enough to convince the district attorney that you're indictable for mud. No, no, you can't get away with that.
I didn't do it, I said it was Jack Jack Redman, he did it. I saw him, he shot Reggie. You can't pin this on me. We're not trying to pin anything on you Paulie but so far you've refused to have either of yourself. You say some man named Redmond, kill McGee. If you haven't convinced us that this Redmond even exists, you've been yellowed throughout this whole affair. We'll hold you Paulie. And the man who deserted his wife and left her to face the guns of the police was held. And three months later, he stood before a ball of justice and heard some relief and then found guilty as charged.
I sentence sent you therefore to not less than five years, no more than life for the crime of burglary, for the crime of murder committed while attempting burglary. I sentenced you to prison for the remainder of your natural life. No. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. I said it.
[00:27:04] Unknown:
Run me out of here. Fuck that again.

Please, Tom. Let's go back. I'm a fool. Nothing.
[00:16:00] Unknown:
If I could come with me if I think it's the last job, but I promise it might. Yes. I know you do. But I'm a fool. Nothing's gonna happen, and if it does, I can take care of it. But look. Let me go around to the side of the house. Look around inside the side door. If I give you, let me keep a lookout. If anybody comes, yeah, like I said Alright. Come on. I keep going. There's people in the town. We'll try this place next door just like no one's home. And you can go out the backyard yard in one. I'm in this window. What's that?

I can't walk. What's wrong with you? Jack? No. I'm afraid I'd smoke in my head.
[00:19:16] Unknown:
Mary is taken to the prison ward of the county hospital. A dragon head is thrown about the district where the crime was committed. But evidently, Foley had made good as a chase. Officers had dispatched to Now we just want to get at the truth about this. If you're innocent you have nothing to fear. Shouldn't I have a lawyer? Yes. I suppose you should if you want to. But even though anything you say may be used against you, on the other hand, anything you say in your favor, I'll use for you.
[00:20:05] Unknown:
What do you want to know? You're married. Yes. How long have you been married?
[00:20:11] Unknown:
About two weeks. What is your husband's name?
[00:20:15] Unknown:
Tom Philippe. What does he do for a living?
[00:20:18] Unknown:
He's a sailor. What's his? Arizona. How long has he been about his ship? I don't know. Has he deserted his ship? I don't know. Was your husband with you tonight? Yes. How did you happen to go to that house? I went with Paul. Did he compare you to go? No. You went of your own accord? Yes. Why? If he promised to stop. Yes, to stop.
[00:20:52] Unknown:
If he promised to stop breaking into faith if I go with him. And you believed him? Yes.
[00:20:59] Unknown:
Do you still love your husband? Yes. Even though he ran away and left you to face the police? I'll always love it. Why did you have a gun?
[00:21:10] Unknown:
I meant it's too much. Why? I knew that everything was over. It seemed calm in me. Yes, you went with him. Yes. I didn't want anything to happen to him. He didn't seem to care if something happened to you. He didn't need to run away. Missus Foley,
[00:21:27] Unknown:
if it's any comfort to you, I want to tell you that you cannot be compelled to testify against your husband. Oh, I'm glad. Please don't ask me more questions. Please don't. I missed the Clark, I got Foley. I bring him down the headquarters right away. Tell him I'll be right down. Yes, sir. Well, missus Foley, it looks like the end for your husband. Well, if only you seem to have been in an hour later, leave town. Where were you going? Frisco. Isn't your ship in San Pedro? Yes. If I report it in Frisco, it would have been alright. Then you weren't deserving. No. What do you call at sending yourself on your ship for the length of time you've been gone without departing aboard?
I wasn't deserving. Why did you run away and leave your wife last night? Figured I could do a more good house than if I was in jail. It didn't occur to you that you were being rather cowardly. No. I figured I could help her if I was out. You didn't think you might help her if you saved her? I didn't think about it. Why did you kill that officer? I didn't kill anybody. It was Jack. Who's Jack? Jack Redmond. Where does this Redmond live? I don't know. Where do you meet him when you plan these jobs of yours? It's Solomon's dancehall. It's six Solomon's on that officer. Yes, sir. Did you say Redmond fired this up to kill McGee?
Yes. Did you ever done at the time? No. Your wife says you did. Then keep telling a deliberate lie. Girl, ain't missus Foley in here. You can't get away with this. That's what you say. Sit down, missus Foley. Thank you. Missus Foley, did you see any other man with your husband last night? No, sir. Did your husband have a gun? Yes. What kind? Large one. Large one or a small?
[00:23:36] Unknown:
Large one. That's a lie. I never had a dog. Oh, Tom. Officer,
[00:23:41] Unknown:
bring in that Irene woman. Yes sir. You didn't know we'd picked her up, did you Paul? What difference does that make? It's yes miss Clark. Irene, Tom here claims he never owned a gun. Is that true? How could I know? Didn't you see him take a gun with him when he left his apartment last night? Your guess is as good as mine. How do you like to be locked up as a material witness in this case? You can't do that to me. That's what you think. Think. Take her out of here. Talk her up since she's ready to talk. Wait a minute.
[00:24:13] Unknown:
Surely had it done. I saw it alright with an automatic. Now can I go? Can I? Ma'am, get her out of here.
[00:24:23] Unknown:
I will trust you to know, Holy, that sisters, your shipmate from the Arizona say that you told them you intended deserving, going into the business of holding up people and robbing homes. That's a lie too. They also testify that you owned a 45 automatic stolen from the Arizona. That's a lie. You know that a 45 bullet killed McGee? I don't know anything about it. It's a bullet. There's evidence of having been issued from government stores. So what? And And that bullet was passed from your gun. Ain't what the proof? That's we intend to. What did you do with that gun? I told it. Where? To a felon lawsuit.
I thought you didn't own a gun. Well that was before. I don't know, go on. Before what? I ain't caught. Oh yes you are. I don't have to. You claim a Jack Redman if I had those shots left. Might have killed officer McGee. Yes. And rather to tell us how we confirmed this threat, I don't know where he is. I checked up Solomon's stance almost the clock and he says, you never heard of a Jack Redman. That's what I expected. Thanks officer. Well for me. Well what? Have you anything to say to that? Ain't talking no more. I think you've said enough to convince the district attorney that you're indictable for mud. No, no, you can't get away with that.
I didn't do it, I said it was Jack Jack Redman, he did it. I saw him, he shot Reggie. You can't pin this on me. We're not trying to pin anything on you Paulie but so far you've refused to have either of yourself. You say some man named Redmond, kill McGee. If you haven't convinced us that this Redmond even exists, you've been yellowed throughout this whole affair. We'll hold you Paulie. And the man who deserted his wife and left her to face the guns of the police was held. And three months later, he stood before a ball of justice and heard some relief and then found guilty as charged.
I sentence sent you therefore to not less than five years, no more than life for the crime of burglary, for the crime of murder committed while attempting burglary. I sentenced you to prison for the remainder of your natural life. No. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. I said it.
[00:27:04] Unknown:
Run me out of here. Fuck that again.
