Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh, Blackie, if this is a dinner party, where is
the dinner?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I don't know, Mary, But here comes Roger Masters, a host.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Hello Roger, it's about time you came over.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And talked to us.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Blackie.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
It's good to see you.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I was hoping you could come.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
All you had to do was urge me with one invitation. Oh, Mary,
this is Roger Masters, our host, Roger and Miss Mary Wesley.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Well, this is a real pleasure.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Miss Wesley, I've heard about it you.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Oh, since I've known Blackie, I'm a lot of people
have heard about me.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Black He has a way of getting around.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yes, everything, including me.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Now, Mary, you know DoD.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Sound of the next loud noise, one subject will be talking,
say Roger, is that your brother Harvey at the piano?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Yes, under that delightful coat of tan is my very
underlightful brother.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
He's just back from Georgia with Georgia, our biggest part.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Will you say that again please, He's.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Back from the state of Georgia with a bride to
be by the name of Georgia.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Oh, she's the redhead to.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
The left of the piano.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
What number of bride to be is she?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
When I run out of fingers. I can't count, but
you'd think it was true.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Love by the talk they give each other.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Must be great listening Yankee drool and Southern drawl, oh
saying I haven't seen our hostess.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Mother should be down by now. I can't understand what's delaying.
Perhaps a diamond she always pusses when she wears it.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Is the family diamond, really as big as they say.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
It is, Missus Master, Missus Wesley. The Master's diamond is
the biggest thing in.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Our family, and worrying it is about.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
The biggest thing we do, or rather a useless lot.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know, I don't know that at all.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Stick around for forty years and you'll find out, to say, Roger,
what kind of a party is this? Look who's coming?
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I don't know that?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Man, Well I do. It's Inspector Burday, all.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Right, everybody were here? Huh, that's the kennel.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
What's the matter, Inspected? Don't you like music?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Blankie? What are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Enjoying myself till now? What brings you here? Inspecting?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
That brings me here? Guess at the Master's diamond is missing,
and Missus Masters is upstairs murdered, and I'm gonna stay here,
I find out what this is all about. Hey, Lemmy,
(02:48):
when's the stone cracker?
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Color?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Joe by a pretty sulpie and a shame man is?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And what a shame?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
But we gotta bust up this rock and cut somebody
in besides. We either cut your in to bust this rock,
or we bust rocks for a bunch of years.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Of a shy man.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Is what you're using for a brain peat this year mask?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
This diamond is as easy to spot as a gorilla
in a bedcage. It's gotta be busted up.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Is it really on a level as he can slice
it in one wax?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Huh? I've seen Joe work.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
First, he looks at the rock all which ways. Second,
he throws light on it like he was looking for
something on its inside dred. He draws all kinds of
lines on it this way and that way. Then he
puts it on a table in.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
A little cup.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Then he's got a hammer in one hand and a
chisel looking thing in his other hand, and he puts
the chisel on top of the rock and he goes
tap with the hammer, and right there in front of
you that one big, beautiful diamond there's a lot of.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Little rocks and then a shame.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Man, it ain't a shame when you gotta eat. There's
money in your pocket because you sold those little rocks.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Yeah, and nobody can trace nothing to us because old
lady masters never saw us.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Yere pete.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
We did this one right. We grab what we're after
and nobody sees.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Is that dele the cops? What happened?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Hey, Lemmy, what's that extra?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I don't know? Hope, no wind there? Yeah, sure that
medea hear that, hear the shock?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Let me close to win the quick?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Sure, Hey, this is bad.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Damn's cropped.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Huh. Hey, we gotta do something.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah, but whack Lammy?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
But why I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I gotta think, Yo, get us for Martyr Lammy unless
I get an idea first.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
I got it, I got it.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
What do we search next? Relans? And let's make it snappy.
I want to get out there in the living room
and question that whole bunch together. Listeners, Mike far blacky
uh good, get lem in here, okay, Blackie?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Why are you saving robins?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Bragg, I don't have to ask you how you are?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Faraday? I know as confused as every.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Don't bother to make wise cracks, Blanky, and don't bother to.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Sit down around you? Everything's about that?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Why at Flankey, I'll start with your coat, Blanky. You're
not starting with anything, Rollins. We're not searching this guy.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh but Holaday, are you sick here? Rowlan, start with
my coat.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
The only starting we're gonna do is you out of here.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
What I don't get this Faraday? You catch me at
the scene of the crime. I admit to you that
I was upstairs about the time of the murder, and
all you want to do is get rid of me. Now?
Is that being smart?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
There's a law against all I want to do where
you're concerned?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Concerned?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Same? Did you mention that? Because I'm plenty concerned Here
I am and in a house with a body and
you find it first? Say how did you do it?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Paraday?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Ely upstairs made for me and I told him not
to say anything to anybody while you were still downstairs. Hey,
it's none of our business how I found a body.
Not get out of here?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Are you sure you don't want me to give rons
my code?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I said, get out of here?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh please, now, Paraday be yourself for a change. I
admit I was upstairs for a few minutes before the
maid found the body.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I admit I'd like to own the master's diamond.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, then, why don't you think I'm a first class suspect?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Because you're much too smart about this whole thing. You
don't deny anything, you don't offer any alibi, you don't
even try to get away from me, So you don't
figure in this case at all.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I don't figure, and you can't.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
All right, Parady have your own money.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I intend to now get out of here.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Say please, please get out of here?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
So long, Paraday yea for my money, you can make
it longer than so. Gosh, Inspector, you shouldn't let him
go Bullins, you think I'm a saf He wouldn't have
that diamond on him. He'd laugh at me for weeks
because we didn't find it. Don't you think you heard
anything to do with this? For two men on detail
to follow Blackie wherever he goes. I not only think
he had something to do with this, I think maybe
(06:57):
he did it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh for once, Mary, I really enjoy just sitting here
in my apartment and not even thinking about day.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
But Blackie, what I'd like to know is why I
didn't inspect Fariday let you go.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Maybe he's getting smart.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I mean it's a trick.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Either a trick or he knows that this time he
has nothing on me.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh, darling, what does he ever have on you? Really?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Con Oh, mister Boston.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Blackie.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yes, Oh, Blackie, she's so beautiful. I wish she'd said no.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
I'm just so sorry to put you to all this bother, Blackie,
but I've just been so anxious to meet you, and
I'm just so distressed, and I just know you can
be so much help to me.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
So, oh you're Georgia aching, an't you? Harvey Master's fiancee?
Say you at the Master's party? And miss Aikin this
is missus Wesley R.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
How do you do?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
That's a wonderful sun time you have mistaken I'm from
the South. Maybe you oh can't tell it, but I am.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
That's why I'm met Horvey. We've just come back from Georgia,
where we had so much fun.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Oh won't you say?
Speaker 7 (08:07):
Don Oh you're so kind, But no, I just dropped
in because I wanted to meet the wonderful Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I've heard so much about you, and well I thought
you thought, Oh, oh, I'm I'm sorry. I guess maybe
I'm in the way here. Oh, dear me.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
No, what I wanna talk about is this thing that's
happened to missus Masters. And I'm afraid it's gonna be
in trouble for poor.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Dear Harvey, for Horvey. Why, well, the.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Police'll find out he inherits all his mother's.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Money, What about his brother Roger?
Speaker 7 (08:38):
All of it goes to Harvey. He said so, and
he ought to know. That's one reason he made up
with his mother.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, I don't think there's anything to worry about. The
police believe that Missus Masters was killed by whoever stole
the diamond.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
I don't think they'll ever suspect Harvey. They'll find out
so much more about Harvey when they begin to investigate.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
He and his mother hated each other.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
He's gonna be in so much trouble, you see, and
get out. And you're so wonderful, Blackie, I wish you'd help.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
You say Harvey hated his mother.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
Yes, he'd been away for six years because of her,
and they didn't speak for years.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Before that. But she was getting last night's party for him,
wasn't she.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
Yes, this was supposed to be a kind of a reunion,
but it wasn't doing so well even before poor dear
missus Masters was killed.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Excuse me? Come in?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Is Georgia Aikin? Oh there you are, Georgia Hervey Dolan?
Speaker 7 (09:30):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Looking for you?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Dear?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
There's been a call from police headquarters and we have
to go down there for a few minutes. I wanted
us to go together. Mother's maid said you were coming
down here.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Oh, Harvey dollon. This is that so wonderful Boston blackie?
And this is miss Wesley?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
That not so wonderful Miss Wesley.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Hello, how do you do?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What brought you up here?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Georgia?
Speaker 7 (09:53):
You're going to need help, Harvey?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
You know?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Dear. Miss Aikins says you're the sole add of your
mother's fortune and that you and your mother were more
or less enemies. She thinks that that's cause for you
to worry.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Oh I don't think it is to.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
You, No, frankly, I don't. But the police will probably
investigate you.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Well that's quite all right with me. I expect it
well a few excuse us, Blackie and Miss Wesley.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
We have to get to headquarter, of course.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Good Bye Blackie, you've been so one.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Goodbye, Goodbye, Miss Wesley.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Goodby mis Aken, it's been so nice to meet you.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Goodbye bye on.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Oh have you done it?
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Are we really going to police headquarters?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Listen you, mom, what's the idea?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Who told you to go to Blackie about me?
Speaker 7 (10:38):
I only want to help.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
How you're hurting?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Listen, you open your mouth about me just once more
to anybody, and I'll shut it permanently and all back
to Boston Blackie. Two jewel thieves lem Me and Pete
(11:03):
steal the fabulous Master's Diamond. When missus Masters has later
discovered dead, police believed she was killed by the robbers,
despite the fact that she had had a long standing
quarrel with her son Harvey recently returned from the South
with his fiance, Georgia Aiken. As we returned to our story,
Lemmy and Pete, who stole the Master's Diamond, are in
their hideouts. Lemmy, ain't you got an idea yet? Up?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Will you?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Pete?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
How can I think when you talk to me all
the time?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
But Lammy, when they find us with a diamond, they'll
get us for killing that master's dame. Wait a minute,
I got it. Yeah, what are we gonna do? Huh?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Get wit of the diamond?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
If they're going all that trouble a grab it all leamy?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
No, the only wait to duck get wrapped for murder?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Gee, Lemmy, and that diamond was gonna let us a
pilot doll. Wait and a shame, ain't it?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
I know exactly how we can get rid of it too.
I just that's good.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
But it's such a beautiful hank of ice. Why did
a shame.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Man be careful what you say on the phone?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Marry Faraday or Rawlins are either listening or waiting downstairs
to nail.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Me when I go out.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I'm sure of it. I'm also sure I'm going to
stay right here in my apartment until Paraday solved this case.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Well, I'm going to be home for the rest of it.
If anything happens.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Sure, Mary, with Faraday alone in a case, a lot
is probably going to happen, and I hope it does.
To him, what's the matter, Faraday? Can't you think of
anything to say? Well, I guess the inspector is downstairs.
After all. Oh, there's the door, Mary.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I'll call you later. All right, come in.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I thought you were in the building, Paraday. That telephone
line was as open. Well who are you?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
You bought them black here?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'm Bosston Blackie. Huh, you got the right to right money.
I offer most of the invitations around here. Have it,
I guess, close the door. If you just stand there
quiet like, yes, you'll any.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Well, you got a little favor to ask you, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
How little?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Oh, it ain't gonna be no trouble to you. Just
the little delivery job.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
That's all, delivering watt to whom? And just how many
years in jail we're involved? How about making sense?
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Okay, the Master's diamonds? Does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Properly?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Handle that can make dollars?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Well, it can't be handled. It's too hot.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You have the Master's diamond?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yeah, my apparently has a gun in his hand and
a couple of minutes we ain't gonna have the diamond.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
No more, you're gonna have it.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I'd rather have the mumps.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Oh I take it here.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Hm, this is a fine thing. I get held up
and forced to take something. Now that I have the diamond, watch.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Get gone where?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Out the door, down the elevator, out onto the street.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
We'll be right by you when I get out on
the street. What do I do?
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Take the diamond the headquarters and turning it in.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh fine, All Fiery has to do is to catch
me with that diamond.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
It's going.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
We lifted that rock, Blanky, but we didn't bump that day,
so you're taking it the headquarters to take the heat
off us. See, Relins. The chances are blank he's got
the diamond and we'll try to sneak it out of
(14:25):
his apartment. And that's why we're waiting here for him.
If he's on the elevator, Redlans, you grab him, Royd Instructor,
he's the elevator. I'll get ready all right by hey,
stand right where you are. Hard whoa holdo, Relins? Hold
of them Rollins for what the Master's diamond?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Fairy quick? Grab those two guys going out the front door.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I'm not interested in anyone, but you'll be a Sam Ferry.
Grabb him quick. I don't want them. All I want
is you with the Master's diamond in your pocket. It's
not in his pocket, inspector, of course, I just took
it out, so you stole the diamond and kill Missus
Masters and Blankie Parady.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
You're under the loot maybe, but I bet you'd.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Like to change with me. You're under arrest.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Look, Ferdy, before you get me all the way down
a headquarters and have to let me go, be a
smart guy and listen to me, will you.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You don't have anything to say, Lackie. I caught you
with a Master's diamond and that's that. Go ahead and
tell me I need a good laugh.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
We'll laugh at this.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Then, those two guys who stepped out of the elevator
with me and beat it out the front door when
you and Rawlins helped me up, gave me the diamond.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
You expect me to believe that.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I don't expect anything of you, Faraday, But if you
will send that an alarm for a couple of guys
by the name of Lemmy and Pete, you can get
a confession at him.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
I'll give you the description.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
I suppose you think these two guys killed Missus Masters too.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Know, as a matter of fact, I'm sure they didn't.
That's why they brought the diamond to me. I was
supposed to deliver.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
It to you.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Okay, when we get to headquarters. I'll send out a
general alarm. Pick these guys up.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Why take me to headquarters? Then, if you believe I
didn't steal a diamond.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Because I want you to see me work. I've got
an angle on the murder that doesn't include you.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I feel sort of slighted. As a matter of fact.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Who are you after?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Roger Masters, one of the victim's sons.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
What's his motive?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Money? He says, mother's soul air. It's not simple.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's not so simple as you think, Inspector. I heard
Harvey Masters was the soul air.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Oh I read Marylyn masters Will just a little while ago.
She cut off Harvey without a cent.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Well, in that case, maybe we ought to go see him.
That's a pretty good motive or murder. This is Harvey's
room here. Made said he went to bed hours ago.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I never objected to winking anybody up linking how well?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I know that that's going ways. I's an on the light.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Oh quick, let's cut him down. May not have been
hanging very long. That's chandelier doesn't look too strong.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
What's matter with you? Faraday? Can't you see he's dead?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yeah, yess he is.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Well, this ought to prove three things.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Faraday.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, my friends Lemmy and Pete didn't kill missus Masters.
Rogers didn't kill her, but Harvey here did.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Too bad.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It doesn't.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
It doesn't, then why would Harvey commit suicide?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Look closely, Paraday, and you'll see that he didn't. He's
been murdered. Hey, that's tool there. Look at it. It's
only a foot high, and Harvey is at least two
and a half feet or three feet off the floor.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Hey, you're right, I'm gonna grab Roger Masters. He killed
his mother and now his brother, and I'm arresting him
before he kills somebody else.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
I do declare, Blackie. It's just too thoughtful of you
to drive me back to the Master's mansion at this
most distressing time.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well, I was sorry you had to go to the
mag to identify Harvey's body, Georgia, but Harriday insisted, Well.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Here we are.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Won't you come in?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
No? Thanks, Well, i'll take you to your door.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
I'll get out on your side too.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Alright, Yeah, give me your hand.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Hey, you're all right on, Jim, Yes, cause thanks to you,
I'm just so grateful.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Well, if you need anything.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Let me know with him, you've been so kind.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
You sure you won't come in?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
No, I have to get back downtown, and I don't
think you're going in either, unless you let go of
my hand.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Oh oh, I'm so sorry. I just wasn't thinking.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Well, goodbye, goodbye my second. When you get back to Georgia,
your state can brag about one more peach.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Well, well, how is the so wonderful Boston Black?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Cut it out with him, Mary.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
But Georgia thinks you're so wonderful, and I think you're
so wonderful too.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
What's fine?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Don't you want me to think you're that wonderful Boston Black?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Do you have to like me with an accent? I
stop it with you. I'm trying to think about Georgia.
I can remember her without thinking.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
That's what worries me.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Say, how did I pick this stuff up?
Speaker 5 (19:33):
What stuff?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
It's tan pebbery stuff on my fingers.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Well, let's see it.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
What?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
What's makeup?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Makeup?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I think the shade of suntan. In fact, I'm sure
it is. That's funny, darling. You didn't pat sweet Georgia
on the cheek, did you?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Will you please forget about her.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That wonderful sun tan of hers. I'm beginning to think
it came.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Right out of a bottle.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
You know I didn't marry. Is that I didn't get
this makeup on my fingers from her? And unless she
had it on her hands, why would.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You have sometime makeup on her hand?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That sweetheart? Is a wonderful question.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
But it'd be just as good as it would be.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
If I said it was a Southern act, Southern Western
and Yankee. The accent around here is on murdered. Pardon me,
I'm going to see miss Georgia. The state, no the girl,
But if my hunch is right, I think the state
is going to see her.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
You might as well talk, Roger, you did it, didn't you?
We know your dinner Roger No, no, inspector party, I
didn't you. Did you kill your mother? You kill your brother?
You know your deader? Roger talk, I didn't I tell you?
I didn't. Your mother told you the diamond was missing,
You saw your can you killed it?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
You figure the thieves would be blamed. We know the
Thames didn't kill her. You killed it?
Speaker 5 (20:50):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
No, I have the thieges locked up. They confessed the
robber as not to killing your mother. We know they're
not killers, but you are.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Talk leave me, oh, leave me?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Oh. We know you kill your mother because your killed
your brother to cover up. You're upstairs when your mother
Mister Diamond, what do you have to do to make
your leave me?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Old time?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Admit you killed your mother your brother had no yes no, yes, yes, yes, yes, all.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Right, yes yes yes I killed yes So that time you.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Killed them both, didn't you?
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Yes, yes, I killed them both.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Good? Wellnce, get masters out of here.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Okay, come out master, Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I get Blankie on the phone. I want them to
know that when I want a confession, I get one.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Never mind the phone called farday e Blankie.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
How did you get in here?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
It's very difficult. I opened the door and walked in.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Well, for once, I'm glad you're here. Now you know
I can get a confession without any help from you.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You should be very glad I'm here, Faturday, because you've
got a confession from the wrong person. Yeah, yeah, here's
your killer, Georgia aiken ear do you know do you
want me to tell him, Georgia or do you want
to tell him?
Speaker 7 (21:50):
In your charming drawl, I don't care what you do.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
All right now, I'll tell him, Faraday, your theory about
how Missus Masters was killed is correct, Only it was
Georgia who was upstairs with Missus Masters when she missed
the diamond, So she killed Missus Masters, realizing the robbers
would be blamed for the murder.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
That's crazy. She had no motive.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Money was a mote of Faraday. Harvey told Georgia he
was inheriting his mother's fortune. Georgia wanted Missus Masters out
of the way so Harvey would inherit it.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Then why did she kill Harvey?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Money was the motive? Again, with Harvey dead, she would
inherit from him.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Now I know you're out of your mind. For two
reasons Harvey was hanged. How could a girl handle a
big guy like that? And how could she inherit from
a guid she wasn't even married to.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I'll answer the first question first, Paraday. This little Georgia
Peach is not exactly a dainty little girl. I checked
and found she was an athlete a few years ago
and still is a champion tennis player and swimmer.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yeah, yeah, I guess she is pretty strong at that.
But how could she get a rope around Harvey's neck
without getting banged up herself.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
She probably drugged him with sleeping tablets. Heffrey was knocked out.
It was fairly simple matter to hang him.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Yeah, I guess so. But what about question too? How
could she inherit from a guy she wasn't even married.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
To Look at this girl's hand, Faraday, Well, it's beautiful
sun tan except on the third finger, left hand. There's
a ring of white around it.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Isn't it.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, like a wedding band was on it.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
A wedding band was on it, inspected because Georgie and
Harvey were married months ago down south as his wife,
she would inherit from him even You ought to know that.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
But that white never showed on her hand before this.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
No, it was covered with suntan makeup. But when I
took her hand to help her out of the car
a few hours ago, some of it came off her fingers. Here, Faraday,
take her. She's all yours, he lady.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
How much trouble am I going to have with you
signing a confession?
Speaker 7 (23:40):
How sign anything? Why do I care? I admit I
killed him, and I'd do it again for a chance
at the same amount of money.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The funny thing is Georgia Harvey lied to you. He
wasn't getting a cent from his mother what and Roger
got it all. So let this be a lesson to you.
Next time you murder for money, make sure you kill
the right people.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
St
Oh, Blackie, if this is a dinner party, where is
the dinner?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I don't know, Mary, But here comes Roger Masters, a host.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Hello Roger, it's about time you came over.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And talked to us.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Blackie.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
It's good to see you.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I was hoping you could come.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
All you had to do was urge me with one invitation. Oh, Mary,
this is Roger Masters, our host, Roger and Miss Mary Wesley.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Well, this is a real pleasure.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Miss Wesley, I've heard about it you.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Oh, since I've known Blackie, I'm a lot of people
have heard about me.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Black He has a way of getting around.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yes, everything, including me.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Now, Mary, you know DoD.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Sound of the next loud noise, one subject will be talking,
say Roger, is that your brother Harvey at the piano?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Yes, under that delightful coat of tan is my very
underlightful brother.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
He's just back from Georgia with Georgia, our biggest part.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Will you say that again please, He's.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Back from the state of Georgia with a bride to
be by the name of Georgia.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Oh, she's the redhead to.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
The left of the piano.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
What number of bride to be is she?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
When I run out of fingers. I can't count, but
you'd think it was true.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Love by the talk they give each other.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Must be great listening Yankee drool and Southern drawl, oh
saying I haven't seen our hostess.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Mother should be down by now. I can't understand what's delaying.
Perhaps a diamond she always pusses when she wears it.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Is the family diamond, really as big as they say.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
It is, Missus Master, Missus Wesley. The Master's diamond is
the biggest thing in.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Our family, and worrying it is about.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
The biggest thing we do, or rather a useless lot.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know, I don't know that at all.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Stick around for forty years and you'll find out, to say, Roger,
what kind of a party is this? Look who's coming?
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I don't know that?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Man, Well I do. It's Inspector Burday, all.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Right, everybody were here? Huh, that's the kennel.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
What's the matter, Inspected? Don't you like music?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Blankie? What are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Enjoying myself till now? What brings you here? Inspecting?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
That brings me here? Guess at the Master's diamond is missing,
and Missus Masters is upstairs murdered, and I'm gonna stay here,
I find out what this is all about. Hey, Lemmy,
(02:48):
when's the stone cracker?
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Color?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Joe by a pretty sulpie and a shame man is?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And what a shame?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
But we gotta bust up this rock and cut somebody
in besides. We either cut your in to bust this rock,
or we bust rocks for a bunch of years.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Of a shy man.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Is what you're using for a brain peat this year mask?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
This diamond is as easy to spot as a gorilla
in a bedcage. It's gotta be busted up.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Is it really on a level as he can slice
it in one wax?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Huh? I've seen Joe work.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
First, he looks at the rock all which ways. Second,
he throws light on it like he was looking for
something on its inside dred. He draws all kinds of
lines on it this way and that way. Then he
puts it on a table in.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
A little cup.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Then he's got a hammer in one hand and a
chisel looking thing in his other hand, and he puts
the chisel on top of the rock and he goes
tap with the hammer, and right there in front of
you that one big, beautiful diamond there's a lot of.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Little rocks and then a shame.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Man, it ain't a shame when you gotta eat. There's
money in your pocket because you sold those little rocks.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Yeah, and nobody can trace nothing to us because old
lady masters never saw us.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Yere pete.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
We did this one right. We grab what we're after
and nobody sees.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Is that dele the cops? What happened?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Hey, Lemmy, what's that extra?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I don't know? Hope, no wind there? Yeah, sure that
medea hear that, hear the shock?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Let me close to win the quick?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Sure, Hey, this is bad.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Damn's cropped.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Huh. Hey, we gotta do something.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah, but whack Lammy?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
But why I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I gotta think, Yo, get us for Martyr Lammy unless
I get an idea first.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
I got it, I got it.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
What do we search next? Relans? And let's make it snappy.
I want to get out there in the living room
and question that whole bunch together. Listeners, Mike far blacky
uh good, get lem in here, okay, Blackie?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Why are you saving robins?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Bragg, I don't have to ask you how you are?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Faraday? I know as confused as every.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Don't bother to make wise cracks, Blanky, and don't bother to.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Sit down around you? Everything's about that?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Why at Flankey, I'll start with your coat, Blanky. You're
not starting with anything, Rollins. We're not searching this guy.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh but Holaday, are you sick here? Rowlan, start with
my coat.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
The only starting we're gonna do is you out of here.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
What I don't get this Faraday? You catch me at
the scene of the crime. I admit to you that
I was upstairs about the time of the murder, and
all you want to do is get rid of me. Now?
Is that being smart?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
There's a law against all I want to do where
you're concerned?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Concerned?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Same? Did you mention that? Because I'm plenty concerned Here
I am and in a house with a body and
you find it first? Say how did you do it?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Paraday?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Ely upstairs made for me and I told him not
to say anything to anybody while you were still downstairs. Hey,
it's none of our business how I found a body.
Not get out of here?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Are you sure you don't want me to give rons
my code?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I said, get out of here?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh please, now, Paraday be yourself for a change. I
admit I was upstairs for a few minutes before the
maid found the body.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I admit I'd like to own the master's diamond.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, then, why don't you think I'm a first class suspect?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Because you're much too smart about this whole thing. You
don't deny anything, you don't offer any alibi, you don't
even try to get away from me, So you don't
figure in this case at all.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I don't figure, and you can't.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
All right, Parady have your own money.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I intend to now get out of here.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Say please, please get out of here?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
So long, Paraday yea for my money, you can make
it longer than so. Gosh, Inspector, you shouldn't let him
go Bullins, you think I'm a saf He wouldn't have
that diamond on him. He'd laugh at me for weeks
because we didn't find it. Don't you think you heard
anything to do with this? For two men on detail
to follow Blackie wherever he goes. I not only think
he had something to do with this, I think maybe
(06:57):
he did it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh for once, Mary, I really enjoy just sitting here
in my apartment and not even thinking about day.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
But Blackie, what I'd like to know is why I
didn't inspect Fariday let you go.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Maybe he's getting smart.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I mean it's a trick.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Either a trick or he knows that this time he
has nothing on me.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh, darling, what does he ever have on you? Really?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Con Oh, mister Boston.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Blackie.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yes, Oh, Blackie, she's so beautiful. I wish she'd said no.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
I'm just so sorry to put you to all this bother, Blackie,
but I've just been so anxious to meet you, and
I'm just so distressed, and I just know you can
be so much help to me.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
So, oh you're Georgia aching, an't you? Harvey Master's fiancee?
Say you at the Master's party? And miss Aikin this
is missus Wesley R.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
How do you do?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
That's a wonderful sun time you have mistaken I'm from
the South. Maybe you oh can't tell it, but I am.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
That's why I'm met Horvey. We've just come back from Georgia,
where we had so much fun.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Oh won't you say?
Speaker 7 (08:07):
Don Oh you're so kind, But no, I just dropped
in because I wanted to meet the wonderful Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I've heard so much about you, and well I thought
you thought, Oh, oh, I'm I'm sorry. I guess maybe
I'm in the way here. Oh, dear me.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
No, what I wanna talk about is this thing that's
happened to missus Masters. And I'm afraid it's gonna be
in trouble for poor.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Dear Harvey, for Horvey. Why, well, the.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Police'll find out he inherits all his mother's.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Money, What about his brother Roger?
Speaker 7 (08:38):
All of it goes to Harvey. He said so, and
he ought to know. That's one reason he made up
with his mother.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, I don't think there's anything to worry about. The
police believe that Missus Masters was killed by whoever stole
the diamond.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
I don't think they'll ever suspect Harvey. They'll find out
so much more about Harvey when they begin to investigate.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
He and his mother hated each other.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
He's gonna be in so much trouble, you see, and
get out. And you're so wonderful, Blackie, I wish you'd help.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
You say Harvey hated his mother.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
Yes, he'd been away for six years because of her,
and they didn't speak for years.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Before that. But she was getting last night's party for him,
wasn't she.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
Yes, this was supposed to be a kind of a reunion,
but it wasn't doing so well even before poor dear
missus Masters was killed.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Excuse me? Come in?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Is Georgia Aikin? Oh there you are, Georgia Hervey Dolan?
Speaker 7 (09:30):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Looking for you?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Dear?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
There's been a call from police headquarters and we have
to go down there for a few minutes. I wanted
us to go together. Mother's maid said you were coming
down here.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Oh, Harvey dollon. This is that so wonderful Boston blackie?
And this is miss Wesley?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
That not so wonderful Miss Wesley.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Hello, how do you do?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What brought you up here?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Georgia?
Speaker 7 (09:53):
You're going to need help, Harvey?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
You know?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Dear. Miss Aikins says you're the sole add of your
mother's fortune and that you and your mother were more
or less enemies. She thinks that that's cause for you
to worry.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Oh I don't think it is to.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
You, No, frankly, I don't. But the police will probably
investigate you.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Well that's quite all right with me. I expect it
well a few excuse us, Blackie and Miss Wesley.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
We have to get to headquarter, of course.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Good Bye Blackie, you've been so one.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Goodbye, Goodbye, Miss Wesley.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Goodby mis Aken, it's been so nice to meet you.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Goodbye bye on.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Oh have you done it?
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Are we really going to police headquarters?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Listen you, mom, what's the idea?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Who told you to go to Blackie about me?
Speaker 7 (10:38):
I only want to help.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
How you're hurting?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Listen, you open your mouth about me just once more
to anybody, and I'll shut it permanently and all back
to Boston Blackie. Two jewel thieves lem Me and Pete
(11:03):
steal the fabulous Master's Diamond. When missus Masters has later
discovered dead, police believed she was killed by the robbers,
despite the fact that she had had a long standing
quarrel with her son Harvey recently returned from the South
with his fiance, Georgia Aiken. As we returned to our story,
Lemmy and Pete, who stole the Master's Diamond, are in
their hideouts. Lemmy, ain't you got an idea yet? Up?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Will you?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Pete?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
How can I think when you talk to me all
the time?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
But Lammy, when they find us with a diamond, they'll
get us for killing that master's dame. Wait a minute,
I got it. Yeah, what are we gonna do? Huh?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Get wit of the diamond?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
If they're going all that trouble a grab it all leamy?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
No, the only wait to duck get wrapped for murder?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Gee, Lemmy, and that diamond was gonna let us a
pilot doll. Wait and a shame, ain't it?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
I know exactly how we can get rid of it too.
I just that's good.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
But it's such a beautiful hank of ice. Why did
a shame.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Man be careful what you say on the phone?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Marry Faraday or Rawlins are either listening or waiting downstairs
to nail.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Me when I go out.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I'm sure of it. I'm also sure I'm going to
stay right here in my apartment until Paraday solved this case.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Well, I'm going to be home for the rest of it.
If anything happens.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Sure, Mary, with Faraday alone in a case, a lot
is probably going to happen, and I hope it does.
To him, what's the matter, Faraday? Can't you think of
anything to say? Well, I guess the inspector is downstairs.
After all. Oh, there's the door, Mary.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I'll call you later. All right, come in.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I thought you were in the building, Paraday. That telephone
line was as open. Well who are you?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
You bought them black here?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'm Bosston Blackie. Huh, you got the right to right money.
I offer most of the invitations around here. Have it,
I guess, close the door. If you just stand there
quiet like, yes, you'll any.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Well, you got a little favor to ask you, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
How little?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Oh, it ain't gonna be no trouble to you. Just
the little delivery job.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
That's all, delivering watt to whom? And just how many
years in jail we're involved? How about making sense?
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Okay, the Master's diamonds? Does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Properly?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Handle that can make dollars?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Well, it can't be handled. It's too hot.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You have the Master's diamond?
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Yeah, my apparently has a gun in his hand and
a couple of minutes we ain't gonna have the diamond.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
No more, you're gonna have it.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I'd rather have the mumps.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Oh I take it here.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Hm, this is a fine thing. I get held up
and forced to take something. Now that I have the diamond, watch.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Get gone where?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Out the door, down the elevator, out onto the street.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
We'll be right by you when I get out on
the street. What do I do?
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Take the diamond the headquarters and turning it in.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh fine, All Fiery has to do is to catch
me with that diamond.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
It's going.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
We lifted that rock, Blanky, but we didn't bump that day,
so you're taking it the headquarters to take the heat
off us. See, Relins. The chances are blank he's got
the diamond and we'll try to sneak it out of
(14:25):
his apartment. And that's why we're waiting here for him.
If he's on the elevator, Redlans, you grab him, Royd Instructor,
he's the elevator. I'll get ready all right by hey,
stand right where you are. Hard whoa holdo, Relins? Hold
of them Rollins for what the Master's diamond?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Fairy quick? Grab those two guys going out the front door.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I'm not interested in anyone, but you'll be a Sam Ferry.
Grabb him quick. I don't want them. All I want
is you with the Master's diamond in your pocket. It's
not in his pocket, inspector, of course, I just took
it out, so you stole the diamond and kill Missus
Masters and Blankie Parady.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
You're under the loot maybe, but I bet you'd.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Like to change with me. You're under arrest.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Look, Ferdy, before you get me all the way down
a headquarters and have to let me go, be a
smart guy and listen to me, will you.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You don't have anything to say, Lackie. I caught you
with a Master's diamond and that's that. Go ahead and
tell me I need a good laugh.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
We'll laugh at this.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Then, those two guys who stepped out of the elevator
with me and beat it out the front door when
you and Rawlins helped me up, gave me the diamond.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
You expect me to believe that.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I don't expect anything of you, Faraday, But if you
will send that an alarm for a couple of guys
by the name of Lemmy and Pete, you can get
a confession at him.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
I'll give you the description.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
I suppose you think these two guys killed Missus Masters too.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Know, as a matter of fact, I'm sure they didn't.
That's why they brought the diamond to me. I was
supposed to deliver.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
It to you.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Okay, when we get to headquarters. I'll send out a
general alarm. Pick these guys up.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Why take me to headquarters? Then, if you believe I
didn't steal a diamond.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Because I want you to see me work. I've got
an angle on the murder that doesn't include you.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I feel sort of slighted. As a matter of fact.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Who are you after?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Roger Masters, one of the victim's sons.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
What's his motive?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Money? He says, mother's soul air. It's not simple.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
It's not so simple as you think, Inspector. I heard
Harvey Masters was the soul air.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Oh I read Marylyn masters Will just a little while ago.
She cut off Harvey without a cent.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Well, in that case, maybe we ought to go see him.
That's a pretty good motive or murder. This is Harvey's
room here. Made said he went to bed hours ago.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I never objected to winking anybody up linking how well?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I know that that's going ways. I's an on the light.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Oh quick, let's cut him down. May not have been
hanging very long. That's chandelier doesn't look too strong.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
What's matter with you? Faraday? Can't you see he's dead?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Yeah, yess he is.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Well, this ought to prove three things.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Faraday.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, my friends Lemmy and Pete didn't kill missus Masters.
Rogers didn't kill her, but Harvey here did.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Too bad.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It doesn't.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
It doesn't, then why would Harvey commit suicide?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Look closely, Paraday, and you'll see that he didn't. He's
been murdered. Hey, that's tool there. Look at it. It's
only a foot high, and Harvey is at least two
and a half feet or three feet off the floor.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Hey, you're right, I'm gonna grab Roger Masters. He killed
his mother and now his brother, and I'm arresting him
before he kills somebody else.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
I do declare, Blackie. It's just too thoughtful of you
to drive me back to the Master's mansion at this
most distressing time.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well, I was sorry you had to go to the
mag to identify Harvey's body, Georgia, but Harriday insisted, Well.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Here we are.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Won't you come in?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
No? Thanks, Well, i'll take you to your door.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
I'll get out on your side too.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Alright, Yeah, give me your hand.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Hey, you're all right on, Jim, Yes, cause thanks to you,
I'm just so grateful.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Well, if you need anything.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Let me know with him, you've been so kind.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
You sure you won't come in?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
No, I have to get back downtown, and I don't
think you're going in either, unless you let go of
my hand.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Oh oh, I'm so sorry. I just wasn't thinking.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Well, goodbye, goodbye my second. When you get back to Georgia,
your state can brag about one more peach.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Well, well, how is the so wonderful Boston Black?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Cut it out with him, Mary.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
But Georgia thinks you're so wonderful, and I think you're
so wonderful too.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
What's fine?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Don't you want me to think you're that wonderful Boston Black?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Do you have to like me with an accent? I
stop it with you. I'm trying to think about Georgia.
I can remember her without thinking.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
That's what worries me.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Say, how did I pick this stuff up?
Speaker 5 (19:33):
What stuff?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
It's tan pebbery stuff on my fingers.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Well, let's see it.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
What?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
What's makeup?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Makeup?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I think the shade of suntan. In fact, I'm sure
it is. That's funny, darling. You didn't pat sweet Georgia
on the cheek, did you?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Will you please forget about her.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That wonderful sun tan of hers. I'm beginning to think
it came.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Right out of a bottle.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
You know I didn't marry. Is that I didn't get
this makeup on my fingers from her? And unless she
had it on her hands, why would.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You have sometime makeup on her hand?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That sweetheart? Is a wonderful question.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
But it'd be just as good as it would be.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
If I said it was a Southern act, Southern Western
and Yankee. The accent around here is on murdered. Pardon me,
I'm going to see miss Georgia. The state, no the girl,
But if my hunch is right, I think the state
is going to see her.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
You might as well talk, Roger, you did it, didn't you?
We know your dinner Roger No, no, inspector party, I
didn't you. Did you kill your mother? You kill your brother?
You know your deader? Roger talk, I didn't I tell you?
I didn't. Your mother told you the diamond was missing,
You saw your can you killed it?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
You figure the thieves would be blamed. We know the
Thames didn't kill her. You killed it?
Speaker 5 (20:50):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
No, I have the thieges locked up. They confessed the
robber as not to killing your mother. We know they're
not killers, but you are.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Talk leave me, oh, leave me?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Oh. We know you kill your mother because your killed
your brother to cover up. You're upstairs when your mother
Mister Diamond, what do you have to do to make
your leave me?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Old time?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Admit you killed your mother your brother had no yes no, yes, yes, yes, yes, all.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Right, yes yes yes I killed yes So that time you.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Killed them both, didn't you?
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Yes, yes, I killed them both.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Good? Wellnce, get masters out of here.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Okay, come out master, Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I get Blankie on the phone. I want them to
know that when I want a confession, I get one.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Never mind the phone called farday e Blankie.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
How did you get in here?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
It's very difficult. I opened the door and walked in.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Well, for once, I'm glad you're here. Now you know
I can get a confession without any help from you.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You should be very glad I'm here, Faturday, because you've
got a confession from the wrong person. Yeah, yeah, here's
your killer, Georgia aiken ear do you know do you
want me to tell him, Georgia or do you want
to tell him?
Speaker 7 (21:50):
In your charming drawl, I don't care what you do.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
All right now, I'll tell him, Faraday, your theory about
how Missus Masters was killed is correct, Only it was
Georgia who was upstairs with Missus Masters when she missed
the diamond, So she killed Missus Masters, realizing the robbers
would be blamed for the murder.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
That's crazy. She had no motive.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Money was a mote of Faraday. Harvey told Georgia he
was inheriting his mother's fortune. Georgia wanted Missus Masters out
of the way so Harvey would inherit it.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Then why did she kill Harvey?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Money was the motive? Again, with Harvey dead, she would
inherit from him.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Now I know you're out of your mind. For two
reasons Harvey was hanged. How could a girl handle a
big guy like that? And how could she inherit from
a guid she wasn't even married to.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I'll answer the first question first, Paraday. This little Georgia
Peach is not exactly a dainty little girl. I checked
and found she was an athlete a few years ago
and still is a champion tennis player and swimmer.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yeah, yeah, I guess she is pretty strong at that.
But how could she get a rope around Harvey's neck
without getting banged up herself.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
She probably drugged him with sleeping tablets. Heffrey was knocked out.
It was fairly simple matter to hang him.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Yeah, I guess so. But what about question too? How
could she inherit from a guy she wasn't even married.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
To Look at this girl's hand, Faraday, Well, it's beautiful
sun tan except on the third finger, left hand. There's
a ring of white around it.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Isn't it.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, like a wedding band was on it.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
A wedding band was on it, inspected because Georgie and
Harvey were married months ago down south as his wife,
she would inherit from him even You ought to know that.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
But that white never showed on her hand before this.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
No, it was covered with suntan makeup. But when I
took her hand to help her out of the car
a few hours ago, some of it came off her fingers. Here, Faraday,
take her. She's all yours, he lady.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
How much trouble am I going to have with you
signing a confession?
Speaker 7 (23:40):
How sign anything? Why do I care? I admit I
killed him, and I'd do it again for a chance
at the same amount of money.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
The funny thing is Georgia Harvey lied to you. He
wasn't getting a cent from his mother what and Roger
got it all. So let this be a lesson to you.
Next time you murder for money, make sure you kill
the right people.
