The Welcome to the great detectives of old-time radio from Boise, Idaho.

This is your host, Adam Graham.

In a moment, we're going to bring you this week's episode of The Big Story.

But first, I do want to let you know about our other podcast.

I want to encourage you to check out the great adventurers of Old Time Radio.

There, we bring you two great adventure stories every week,

currently featuring Tarzan and Counter Spy. And you can find this wherever you get your podcast from

or at our website at greatadventures. info. Well now, from January 22nd, 1949, here is the jigsaw crime.

Now, now famous cigarettes present the big story.

Two phone conversations took place about the same time. One between a man named Tom Cooey and his wife. Don't talk like that, Tom. Don't! I can't help it, dearia. If he goes on like this, I swear I'll kill him. Ed Rumley's a crump. Tom, promise me you won't do anything. Some partner. Lazy lies to me, never does any work, blames me?

I swear, one more stunt like that one in Galveston, and I swear I'll kill him.

The other was between the first man's partner, Ed Rumley, and his brother.

In Galveston, he pockets 50 bucks.

I know it for a fact jack.

Fifty bucks.

Then he tells me he took in 25 and split that with me.

Look, Ed, talk to him.

He's your partner.

Yeah, yeah, my partner.

Some partner.

Some swindler.

I'll tell you one thing, Jack.
