Now from June 29, 1958, here is the Ugly Pattern Matter.

Johnny Dollar. This is Barry Winters at Masters Insurance and Trust. Oh, hi, Barry. It's been years. Sure, Johnny. Because we don't usually have trouble with our accounts. You mean you didn't? Huh? Until now. Well, yeah, I'm afraid that's about the size of it. And this time it's bad trouble. Tell me all. Simplex tackle company, Johnny, over in Danbury. Fishing tackle? That's right. Oh, how come I never heard of them? Well, they're a small outfit, a kind of glorified partnership. What's that mean? It's owned by nine men. One of them, Hanley Thomas, is president. The others are secretary, treasurer, and a flock of vice president. So what's happened?

Well, the nine of them, plus the 20 or 30 workers at the plant, are all covered by a group

life insurance deal. And listen...

Yeah?

We've just had to pay off on three policies in a row.

Well, that's too bad, but why call on me?

Because, Johnny.

Why?

Those three deaths were all murders.
