Transcript

Well, you're listening, and, Joy-man, John Lund has... Johnny Deller. I'm back to Johnny. How fast can you get the Kansas City, Missouri? Why? Maybe you can stop a homicide. Well, that sounds worthwhile. What's the deal?

Well, that should be profitable, but hardly deadly. Look. How far is he gone? Well, that's... I'll take the first plane out.

I'm back to you. You know, many great men have attained the highest office in our land, the presidency of the United States. Can you guess the name of this man? In 1884, with a limited education and practically no experience in national affairs, he was elected president at the age of 48.

During his administration, an income tax was passed, but declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. And Coxy's army made its first march on the Capitol as a protest against unemployment. It was also during his administration that the presidential succession bill was passed, which indicated the line of succession to the presidency from the president down through the cabinet.

If you don't have his name by now, here are two more clues. He was the first president to be married in the White House and the only president who served two non-s successive terms. Who was he?

Roper Cleveland, 22nd and 24th President of the United States. His life is part of your American heritage. Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny Dollar to a home office, Eastern Endemity and Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut.

The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Patterson Transport matter. Expense account item 173 dollars and 20 cents. Airfare and incidentals between Hartford, Connecticut and Kansas City, Missouri. I was met at the airport by Walt Hendricks, Vice President and General Manager of Patterson Transport.
