The Imperfect Alibi Matter - Ep 4

From Hollywood, it's time now for... Johnny Dollar. Joe Rastelli at homicide returning your call, Johnny. I've uncovered a couple of items on the Harvey Stone killing Joe. Good, let's have him. Remember Alvin Gentry? Looks like he's not a psycho after all.

What do you mean? I just found out he's a friend of Helen Barrett's. Well, what do you know? Yeah, I gotta admit, my hunch about a renaissance just took a nosedive. I also learned that Harvey's secretary Martha Winters used to be his girlfriend.

Yeah, I'm up to date on him. Oh, I hear it. You bet I do. Tonight and every weekday night, Bob Bailey and the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator.

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny Dollar to the home office, northeast and Demner, the associate's Hartford Connecticut. Assignment, the imperfect alibi matter, location New York City. Expense account continued.

Item 10, $1.40, cab from my hotel to police headquarters. Martha Winders, secretary to the murdered man, Harvey Stone, was in Lieutenant Joe Rastelli's office. She was a blonde. And again, I had to admire the dead man's taste.

He could really pick them. Miss Winders, would you mind telling Mr. Dollar here what you've just told me? No, not at all, Lieutenant. You see, Mr. Dollar, I have a smaller apartment in the same building as Mr. Stone's apartment.

On East 57th? Yes. Harvey, as Mr. Stone, and then he was in town. That's mainly why he kept the apartment. And we felt it would be more convenient for me to be nearby. I see.

Well, the night before last. The night of the murder. Yes. I'd been out to a show. I got home about 11.30. Go on. I saw Helen Barrett walking toward Mr. Stone's apartment. What? You sure about the time?
