Oh, Blackie, this is the life alone with you, when
a handsome cabbage to a m who could want anything.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Better the horse. Maybe he may be smart and prefer
his bed to the fox. How'd you know it's two am?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I can tell by the stars and the position of
the moon. And besides, I just looked at my watch.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Well, at least you're impressed on Ryer musten to him chuckle.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Well, I ain't impressed with her telling time or the
morning stars. Son, I'm impressed because you're Bosh and Blackie.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You see yah, ain't you? Yes, but don't tell your
horse you might quit.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And you must be miss Wesley, ain't you, lady? My
main four is I'm curious, Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Driver, I'm miss Wesley. That's my main floor too.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And as much as it's two o'clock, Mary, I think
we'd better head for the nearest exs of the time.
Let's get out of the park, driver, all right, mister oh,
I was just beginning to enjoy this. Wait a minute,
Can I hear in organ somewhere? It's the America round
over there? Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
See the lights shining to the trees, Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I do. From around running wide open at two o'clock
in the morning. This is crazy, HOLI driver, sure, Oh no,
wait here, I'm minute driver. Come on, Mary, let's have
a look. Oh but but I the carousel shouldn't be
running at this time of night, just to be closed
up tight by sundown. Come on, all right, you'll wait
(01:52):
for a driver. You're saying, mister Clay, is a path
through the hedge? Mary, Yeah, I see it. Thank Hey,
who is the carousel? It's turning? Funny, I'll see where
the operator is.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
That doesn't seem to be anything. Mary. There's not a
soul here, nobody in sight. No, that doesn't seed to.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Be Now, I can't understand that, Laly. The lights are on,
the organ's playing, and the carousel is turning, and.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yet yet there isn't anyone around. Mary. I've got an
idea that this merry around in front of us has
a mystery in back of it.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
And now back to Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy
to those who make him an enemy, friend to those
who have no friend.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Lady, I don't get this at all.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Neither Mary, but it gets me. Nobody's done any of
the horse.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
There is a man on one of the horses there
you see coming around from him back?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh, I see him.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
He'll be right in front of it in a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Hey, are you.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Sleep?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I'll jump on and wake him up. Don't worry. I
used to hop on my freak friends when I was
a kid.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
He's the man on the horse.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Sleep where till I come around again, and I'll say
you well, Blackie, what about the man? A guy riding
this putting horse has a bullet in his head? Ah,
(03:42):
good morning, inspector, para day, Good morning, inspector. This is Blackie.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Black all right, what's the idea?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's stark out, but it's still morning, three o'clock in
the morning.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
Look you can I even get a good night's sleep?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh? Can you with a conscience as guilty as yours? Well, look, Faraday,
I've got a little job for you. Well save it
for morning. By morning, I'll have it finished myself.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
What are you raving about, Blackie?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Murder? Faraday? There's a body with a bullet in its
head riding a wooden horse on the merry ground in
the park, A body dressed in a riding habit.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Blackie, you feel all right.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Just fine, furday, nothing, nothing's the matter with you? At all,
not a thing, and stop that nonsense.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
Stop talking sense.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I don't blame me, inspector, old man. This sounds ridiculous
even to me, and it'll sound more ridiculous when I
tell you who the corps is or was. Well, John
Van down the millionaire sportsman, the best known horseman.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
In New York, and he's found dead on a wooden
horse on a merry ground.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Seems
silly to me too, Farriday. But believe me, I am serious.
He's going around around and around, waggie kidding. I'm dead serious, Comma.
But Van Dawn isn't dead serious, semi Colin, He's dead period. Yes,
(05:09):
good morning, are you Peter Couson?
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You own the carousel in the park, Yeah, I own
it it? What about it? I'm wasn't Blackie man? Come in? Sure? Thanks?
You want to know about John Van Dorn's murder, don't you? Yes?
I do you think I know something?
Speaker 8 (05:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You might that makes you think? So little information I've
picked up at the park Commission before I came to
see him. You don't know anything about me? No? Well
I know your carousel was just about to be closed. Oh,
and I know it was on a complaint from John
Van Dorn that the park Commission was going to close it.
So you had a pretty good reason to kill Van Dawn.
(05:46):
Don't you agree?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Sit down, I'll tell you the little bit I know
about this, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Just a little bit. Maybe you might think it's a lot.
Let's hear it. Well, last night, never mind the knocking
the door going, well, last night, I was just I'll
talk to this guy, Blankie. Oh, good morning, inspector the police, Yes, Carson,
but don't judge the entire force by Paraday here. He's
a holdover from the days before the cops were required
(06:17):
to think.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Quiet, Blanky, Carson, I'm investigating the murder of John van Dorn.
What do you know about it?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Nothing, Inspector?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Uh oh what do you mean by oh Blackie?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Oh? Oh, zero zero, nothing, nothing, which is exactly what
you're going to get out of Carson, Blackie. Where are
we going to see Missus van Doorn, the dead man's wife? Oh?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
What'd you find out from Pete Carson, the owner of the.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Carroc ol Nothing? Mary Paraday walked in just as he
was about to tell me something. One look at the
inspector and he got locked jaw.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
What do you think you were going to tell you?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Somebody would tell me something. This thing is crazy, Mary,
one of the city's best known horse is found dead
in full riding habit, riding a wooden horse. It's fantastic
or fantastic, it's weird. Van Down died that way by coincidence.
So we're dealing with a murderer with a strange sense
of humor. Oh, he's has Oh it's beautiful. Don had
(07:24):
a beautiful.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Bank account, beautiful wife too.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
We'll soon find out. Yes, I'd like to see missus
Vandon please, he's not in. No, it's not, but Missus
Vandan is in and so a week all right, then
Van Dorn, these two are here to see you, Yes,
missus vandone. And if you don't mind, it's about your
(07:50):
husband's death.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh, I see. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You have to talk to my lawyer, mister Wilcox about that.
And where will I find him? I'm will Cox. Well
this is the other than I thought. I'm investigating mister
Van Dorn's death. Can you tell me anything about it? Willcox? No?
And I think you've got a lot of nerve breaking
in here and talking about this unfortunate thing in front
of Missus van Dorn. I'm sorry, but investigations have to
be made. Her husband was murdered, and i'd like to
(08:14):
help find the killer. Are you the police?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
No, he's lost and lacky, mister Wilcox.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
He's better in the police, not better marry just luckier,
Missus van Doan you want me to find your husband's killer,
don't you? Of course?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
But must we talk about it?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Just how sooner I get the facts that soon of
the killer might be caught.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
That may be true, Blackie, But I would respect to
the widow have to ask you to come here with
your question some other time.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Some other time may be too late, Wilcox, Missus van Down,
your husband was rather prominent socially, wasn't he? His name
was well known in social and business circles. Yes, how
do we make his living? I understand he was quite wealthy, Oh,
not terribly.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
He had a contract with the Jasmine perfume company giving
them the right to use his name on their leading
brand that was his own? Must I talk about.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Everything you tell me? Helps Missus Vanda? Well, I forbid
any more questions, Blackie. I don't think you have much
say in the matter, Wilcox, Missus Van Doorne.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I'm her lawyer, Black and I refuse to let it
be questioned by you or.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
By anyone else, So I think you better leave. Here's
the door. Oh thanks. It's hard to see it when
it's open like that, but I think I can find it.
I'm sure you can come on Murray. Oh I'm practically outside.
Oh well, come by, Wilcox, I'll see you again. Not
if I can help it. You won't be able to
Wilcox and missus Van down if your lawyer doesn't get
(09:29):
off his high horse. Maybe I'll never find out how
your husband was killed on that wooden one.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Are we driving out to meet black at the merry ground?
Inspected her to day?
Speaker 7 (09:48):
No, Miss Wesley, I want to get my thanks from
you alone. Black are along you do nothing but confuse
me and will be at the carousel in a minute.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yes, we will left around the bend and right down
this road here about a one.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Hundred year Yeah, yeah, that much I know.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Now tell me just what happened when you and Blackie
were riding in the park last night.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well, Black and I were riding along in a handsome cab. Yeah,
it's just about this time, about two am. As we
got about here, we suddenly heard the carousel organ playing
wolf and just.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Like now, hey, the music is playing, yes, all right,
then what happened, miss Wesley?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Wa We pulled up almost in front of the merry
ground like this, Miss Wesley, huhuh, yes, like now, and
through the trees we could see the lights of the
carousel like no, hey.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
This is crazy. Those lights are on and at two am.
Come on, come on, let's have a look a right,
the path.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
To the carousel is right to the head here.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I see it.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Come on, I'm coming okay. Now, after you heard the
music and saw the lights and came out here to
have a look at it, just like now, then what
miss Wesley?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, we stood here like this and watched the carousel
go around and round just right now and then and
then all of a suddenly notice the body on one
of the horses infected just like now.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Now back to Boston, Blackie. Blackie and Mary Wesley are
riding in a handsome cab in the park at two
o'clock in the morning when they find the carousel organ
playing lights of Blaze and revolving slowly with a dead
man riding one of the horses. The dead man is
(11:40):
John van Dorn, well known horseman. Investigation reveals no clues
nor uncovers the major suspect. That night, Faraday takes Mary
out to the carousel to go over the scene of
the crime, only to discover the organ playing, the lights blazing,
and another dead man riding a wooden horse.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We return to our story.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Paraday and Mary are standing by the carousel while Paraday's
men Inspector's.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
Got to be fingerprints somewhere.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Well, inspector, if you got troubles, slacky Blacky, you get
away from here, Sorry, Paraday. I must be bought vulture
or something. Every time I hear on my radio that
the body has been found, I have to come and
have a look at it.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Well, look at it then and leave there. It is
on that horse on amery ground.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Oh Blackie, it's Peter Carson, the man who wants the carrocal.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So I see how has he killed? Paraday shot the
same as Van Dorn. Uh huh? I suppose you know
why he was killed?
Speaker 6 (12:36):
I do?
Speaker 7 (12:37):
You must have seen who killed Van Dorn Friday.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Sometimes you amaze me. You're right for once. But do
you know who killed him?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
The same guy who killed Van Dorn?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Right again, Paraday, But you have the slightest idea who
killed in dawn? Have you? I thought? All right?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
All right, so I'm at all Do you know who
kill Van Doorn?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Do I know who killed and doing?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Well?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Do you no? The registered downstairs, said Harry Wilcox's office
was thirteen oh seven. That must be this way, Mary, Okay.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
There's this door.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Good, come on, woo.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
That was some climb up. Those dairs could have.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Been worse, Mary. This is a thirty six story building,
you know, could have been better. The elevators could have
been money. Well, I suppose I have to pick the lock.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Lucky you Sure it wouldn't be a lot easier if
we just see Harry Wilcock in his office tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Line, I've had one brush with Wilcox already, Mary, So
not to let me know that the Mondorn lawyer is
not the cooperative kind. Okay, man, I did it, and
the door's open, lady space.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I went walking into a dark office. The rules all right?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Here, you take the flass light, got it, tend it on.
Now I'll close the door.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Right flash I know what.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I shine it around the room. What I'm looking for
would probably being locock safe. I hope me too.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
But what if he doesn't have it safe?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
You say such awful things, Mary, you do?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
I just oh, there it is blackie like that farming
can is here?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Good? It's an easy kind of open.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Aren't they old?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You bring the light over all? Right?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
What? Just hold it and be quiet. I want to
hear the tumble a drop.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
I'll be quiet. There's one good that's two bitter, three
marvelous and open two.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Uh well, let's see inside.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Not much.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You're a safe. Few of ledgers do papers, uh huh,
and so one of those papers is what I'm looking for. Hey,
what are you looking for? You'll hit me on the
head if I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
And break a perfectly good flashlight.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
What are you looking for? I don't know?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Up, you don't know?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Now something, oh dear, anything that could help me?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Hm?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Hey, hey, this might be interesting.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's from Don's contract with that Jasmine perfume firm? What
contract contract giving them the right to use his name
on their perfumes?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
See mm, yeah, I think I'll have a look at this.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah. Signed by them Dawn un Lester Rounson, president of Jasmine.
Cancelation clause. Cancelation clause. Where are you?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Maybe there isn't one.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh well, there isn't there one. Just this is good
A ridicule clause.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Ridicule clause. What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It means that if Vandawn ever did anything that might
hold him up to ridicule, this contract would automatically be canceled.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
What would be the purpose of that blacking.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'm not sure, but I can guess. And my guess
is that Ronson bought the Vandorn name because it had
some high society significance. In the event the name became
connected with anything ridiculous, would naturally have no value to Ronson.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well, I'm very speed to myself, but I do understand.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
First thing, tomorrow morning, I am going to see mister Ronson.
Maybe he manufactures perfumes. But there's something about all this
that doesn't smell so good to me.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Secretary says, you want to see me, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
What about? Well, watch, mister Ronson. I just want to
know what you know about John van Down. I don't
know much.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I merely paid him for the use of his name
on my products.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yes, I know that, and see you turning out new
bottles for yourself. Mister Ronson, there was nice drawings on
your desk.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Oh, these these are just planning roughs.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Hey wait a minute, jump with those away. Seems to
me the name on the label wasn't from Dawn. It
was Winston, wasn't it. Yes, yes, but that means nothing.
It means something to me, Ronson. Your contract with Van
Dawn was canceled by his death, wasn't it? So your
perfumes are now to come out under a new name, Winston.
What was wrong with Van Done? Well, I might as
(17:32):
well tell you.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
You'll find out anyhow, the Van Dorn name didn't sell.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh, so you had a contract with Van Dawn. It
couldn't be canceled. His name wasn't selling your product. So
you killed him or you'd go broke.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
No, No, I didn't kill him.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But you did want to break your contract with him?
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Yes, but but I didn't kill him. All I tried
to do was involve him in his candle so I
could exercise these the ridicule clause in my contract.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
No, we're getting somewhere, and looked.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Like, yeah, I'll I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Just what I did bt time go on.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Well, then Dawn was a famous horseman, and I thought
the city would get a good laugh if they saw
him riding a wooden horse on a merry ground in
for riding habit.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That's exactly what I figured. You put him on that horse? Huh? Yes?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Yes, I had him come to my house just after
his daily ride in the park, and I dugged him,
and then at midnight I put him in my car
and drove to the carousel in.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
The park, carried him to one of the horses, and
then shot him. No, no, believe me.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
After he was on the horse, I turned down the
carousel lights and started the organ and put the carousel
in motion. And then and then I started to leave
to call a newspaper and give him a hot tip
for a picture. Society is leading horseman on a wooden horse,
you know.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
But there was a shot and.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Van Dorn slumped, and I knew the bullet had hit him.
I got scared and ducked into the bushes and left.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Did you see, no, it believed me.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
All I wanted to do was involve Van Dorn in
a scandal so I could can through my contract.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
All right, ronson that takes care of you for right now.
But right now I've got to take care of someone
who wanted to cancel Van Done. It's oh, it's you. Yes,
(19:22):
it's me, Missus Benne. And don't tell me I can't
come in because I.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Am now you can't.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
It's that Boston Blackie again, Blackie. I thought I told
you to stay away from us. Your hospitality was so charming, Wilcox,
I just couldn't resist another sample.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I'll give you a sample of something else if you
don't get out of here.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Don't make me laugh, say, Wilcox, you have an office,
you have a home of your own. Why is it
every time I see you you're here with Missus van Done?
Why I please? It's Harry, is it? And I think
you call her Blanche, don't you?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
That happens to be her name?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I know. And Blanche is the part of her name
that you don't. It tends to change, eh? Do I
hear wedding bells Now, let's hear Blackie.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
If you're suggesting that Harry killed my husband, that's absolutely.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
What I do mean to suggest is that your husband
was killed a little after midnight last night. And Wilcox,
where were you at that time at my club. Can
you prove it? Yes, I can prove it. I Oh, now,
who's that? I have a rough idea, not the rough
idea in Missus van Dorn. You can't keep him out?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Oh, expected Parady, How you back again? Come in?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Thanks?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I look, Missus van Dorn.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Hi, Blackie, what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Same old Faraday, same old question. I've got a suspect
for you. Wilcox.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Wilcox Anna, he couldn't have killed Van Dorn. The corner
says Van Dorn was killed sometime between midnight and two
o'clock this morning. I checked and found will Cox was
in the card room and his club during those hours.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Sorry, are you improving? Keep it up in one of
these days I won't even know you.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Let's hope that soon.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I demand you apologized to mister will Cox.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Blackie, Okay, Willcox, I'm sorry, But Faraday, can I see
you all moments alone? What about an idea just got
me that may get you a murderer? I hope you
(21:22):
want a freight in the park so late at night,
Missus vandone.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
It is rather dark and frightening, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yes it is. Oh, here's the path I want where
are we going to the merry around Missus Vindaane. If
you don't mind, no, why should I? Well, I thought
you wouldn't mind seeing it. You could help find your
husband's killer. Here we are.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Hopefully quiet out here, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yes, yes, it is, you know, Missus Vandne. When I
get off to any place like this where it's quiet,
my mind plays awfully strange tricks on me. I say, well,
I even seen to see things that aren't there. Oh,
psychiatrists would say that it was my subconscious mind working.
(22:09):
I suppose. Yes, it's very interesting. For instance, last night
I was standing in front of this carousel. The lights
were blazing. They were, yes, the lights were on. Well, Blackie,
look look, missus Mondone it what the lights of the
carousel are on? I don't see them, but too much.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Every light is on, every light No, mister imagine, No,
I'm not. The lights are on.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
The lights aren't on, Missus Bend, but.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
They are well.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And the merry corona is turning.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
At two o'clock in the morning. How could that be? Well,
it is, and there's the music and you hear that,
you do hear it? No, I don't know the music
is plain.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I looked America around his turning.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
I see it.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I see it.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I tell you when I hear it. It was just
like this.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
When I followed mister Ronson out here, I stood here.
I stood here and watched he put John on the.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Horse, and the carousel went around, it went around. And
when John came around one time I saw him. I
saw him.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
He was riding that food doors.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Of a down a down that is again, thinking that,
all right, Bertie, you can get off that with the horse.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
He parked.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Hm alone with you here at two o'clock. Oh, Blackie,
this is the life turn.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
This is the park. And the last time we came
here we got mixed up in a murder.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And how we were mixed up, And Blackie, I still
don't know why the carousel owner was killed.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Missus Vandan murder the carousel on him because she thought
he might have seen her shoot her husband and he
might have it. Man.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Oh but no, wait a minute, let's go back a
little bit further. How did missus van Dorn No Ronson
was bringing her husband out here in the first place.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Her husband had called her from Ronson's and when he
didn't show up, along about midnight she went over there,
she saw Ronson carrying her husband out and follow them.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Well, if she saw that, why didn't she talk to
the police afterwards?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Because, my dear, she was a killer, and she felt
the less said the better.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Blackie black of the music's playing again.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I know, I know, it's two o'clock again. But it's
not two o'clock in the morning, Mary, it's two o'clock
in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Oh oh, Blackie, let's go on the merry go round,
just you and I.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Well, poor Mary, but why, oh why.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Why?
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Well, I don't know exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Oh, yes I do. Maybe it's because I want people
to say that we're going around together.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Say
Oh, Blackie, this is the life alone with you, when
a handsome cabbage to a m who could want anything.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Better the horse. Maybe he may be smart and prefer
his bed to the fox. How'd you know it's two am?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I can tell by the stars and the position of
the moon. And besides, I just looked at my watch.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Well, at least you're impressed on Ryer musten to him chuckle.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Well, I ain't impressed with her telling time or the
morning stars. Son, I'm impressed because you're Bosh and Blackie.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You see yah, ain't you? Yes, but don't tell your
horse you might quit.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And you must be miss Wesley, ain't you, lady? My
main four is I'm curious, Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Driver, I'm miss Wesley. That's my main floor too.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And as much as it's two o'clock, Mary, I think
we'd better head for the nearest exs of the time.
Let's get out of the park, driver, all right, mister oh,
I was just beginning to enjoy this. Wait a minute,
Can I hear in organ somewhere? It's the America round
over there? Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
See the lights shining to the trees, Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I do. From around running wide open at two o'clock
in the morning. This is crazy, HOLI driver, sure, Oh no,
wait here, I'm minute driver. Come on, Mary, let's have
a look. Oh but but I the carousel shouldn't be
running at this time of night, just to be closed
up tight by sundown. Come on, all right, you'll wait
(01:52):
for a driver. You're saying, mister Clay, is a path
through the hedge? Mary, Yeah, I see it. Thank Hey,
who is the carousel? It's turning? Funny, I'll see where
the operator is.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
That doesn't seem to be anything. Mary. There's not a
soul here, nobody in sight. No, that doesn't seed to.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Be Now, I can't understand that, Laly. The lights are on,
the organ's playing, and the carousel is turning, and.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yet yet there isn't anyone around. Mary. I've got an
idea that this merry around in front of us has
a mystery in back of it.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
And now back to Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy
to those who make him an enemy, friend to those
who have no friend.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Lady, I don't get this at all.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Neither Mary, but it gets me. Nobody's done any of
the horse.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
There is a man on one of the horses there
you see coming around from him back?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh, I see him.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
He'll be right in front of it in a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Hey, are you.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Sleep?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I'll jump on and wake him up. Don't worry. I
used to hop on my freak friends when I was
a kid.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
He's the man on the horse.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Sleep where till I come around again, and I'll say
you well, Blackie, what about the man? A guy riding
this putting horse has a bullet in his head? Ah,
(03:42):
good morning, inspector, para day, Good morning, inspector. This is Blackie.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Black all right, what's the idea?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's stark out, but it's still morning, three o'clock in
the morning.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
Look you can I even get a good night's sleep?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh? Can you with a conscience as guilty as yours? Well, look, Faraday,
I've got a little job for you. Well save it
for morning. By morning, I'll have it finished myself.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
What are you raving about, Blackie?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Murder? Faraday? There's a body with a bullet in its
head riding a wooden horse on the merry ground in
the park, A body dressed in a riding habit.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Blackie, you feel all right.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Just fine, furday, nothing, nothing's the matter with you? At all,
not a thing, and stop that nonsense.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
Stop talking sense.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I don't blame me, inspector, old man. This sounds ridiculous
even to me, and it'll sound more ridiculous when I
tell you who the corps is or was. Well, John
Van down the millionaire sportsman, the best known horseman.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
In New York, and he's found dead on a wooden
horse on a merry ground.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Seems
silly to me too, Farriday. But believe me, I am serious.
He's going around around and around, waggie kidding. I'm dead serious, Comma.
But Van Dawn isn't dead serious, semi Colin, He's dead period. Yes,
(05:09):
good morning, are you Peter Couson?
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You own the carousel in the park, Yeah, I own
it it? What about it? I'm wasn't Blackie man? Come in? Sure? Thanks?
You want to know about John Van Dorn's murder, don't you? Yes?
I do you think I know something?
Speaker 8 (05:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You might that makes you think? So little information I've
picked up at the park Commission before I came to
see him. You don't know anything about me? No? Well
I know your carousel was just about to be closed. Oh,
and I know it was on a complaint from John
Van Dorn that the park Commission was going to close it.
So you had a pretty good reason to kill Van Dawn.
(05:46):
Don't you agree?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Sit down, I'll tell you the little bit I know
about this, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Just a little bit. Maybe you might think it's a lot.
Let's hear it. Well, last night, never mind the knocking
the door going, well, last night, I was just I'll
talk to this guy, Blankie. Oh, good morning, inspector the police, Yes, Carson,
but don't judge the entire force by Paraday here. He's
a holdover from the days before the cops were required
(06:17):
to think.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Quiet, Blanky, Carson, I'm investigating the murder of John van Dorn.
What do you know about it?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Nothing, Inspector?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Uh oh what do you mean by oh Blackie?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Oh? Oh, zero zero, nothing, nothing, which is exactly what
you're going to get out of Carson, Blackie. Where are
we going to see Missus van Doorn, the dead man's wife? Oh?
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
What'd you find out from Pete Carson, the owner of the.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Carroc ol Nothing? Mary Paraday walked in just as he
was about to tell me something. One look at the
inspector and he got locked jaw.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
What do you think you were going to tell you?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Somebody would tell me something. This thing is crazy, Mary,
one of the city's best known horse is found dead
in full riding habit, riding a wooden horse. It's fantastic
or fantastic, it's weird. Van Down died that way by coincidence.
So we're dealing with a murderer with a strange sense
of humor. Oh, he's has Oh it's beautiful. Don had
(07:24):
a beautiful.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Bank account, beautiful wife too.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
We'll soon find out. Yes, I'd like to see missus
Vandon please, he's not in. No, it's not, but Missus
Vandan is in and so a week all right, then
Van Dorn, these two are here to see you, Yes,
missus vandone. And if you don't mind, it's about your
(07:50):
husband's death.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh, I see. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You have to talk to my lawyer, mister Wilcox about that.
And where will I find him? I'm will Cox. Well
this is the other than I thought. I'm investigating mister
Van Dorn's death. Can you tell me anything about it? Willcox? No?
And I think you've got a lot of nerve breaking
in here and talking about this unfortunate thing in front
of Missus van Dorn. I'm sorry, but investigations have to
be made. Her husband was murdered, and i'd like to
(08:14):
help find the killer. Are you the police?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
No, he's lost and lacky, mister Wilcox.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
He's better in the police, not better marry just luckier,
Missus van Doan you want me to find your husband's killer,
don't you? Of course?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
But must we talk about it?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Just how sooner I get the facts that soon of
the killer might be caught.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
That may be true, Blackie, But I would respect to
the widow have to ask you to come here with
your question some other time.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Some other time may be too late, Wilcox, Missus van Down,
your husband was rather prominent socially, wasn't he? His name
was well known in social and business circles. Yes, how
do we make his living? I understand he was quite wealthy, Oh,
not terribly.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
He had a contract with the Jasmine perfume company giving
them the right to use his name on their leading
brand that was his own? Must I talk about.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Everything you tell me? Helps Missus Vanda? Well, I forbid
any more questions, Blackie. I don't think you have much
say in the matter, Wilcox, Missus Van Doorne.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I'm her lawyer, Black and I refuse to let it
be questioned by you or.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
By anyone else, So I think you better leave. Here's
the door. Oh thanks. It's hard to see it when
it's open like that, but I think I can find it.
I'm sure you can come on Murray. Oh I'm practically outside.
Oh well, come by, Wilcox, I'll see you again. Not
if I can help it. You won't be able to
Wilcox and missus Van down if your lawyer doesn't get
(09:29):
off his high horse. Maybe I'll never find out how
your husband was killed on that wooden one.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Are we driving out to meet black at the merry ground?
Inspected her to day?
Speaker 7 (09:48):
No, Miss Wesley, I want to get my thanks from
you alone. Black are along you do nothing but confuse
me and will be at the carousel in a minute.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yes, we will left around the bend and right down
this road here about a one.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Hundred year Yeah, yeah, that much I know.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Now tell me just what happened when you and Blackie
were riding in the park last night.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well, Black and I were riding along in a handsome cab. Yeah,
it's just about this time, about two am. As we
got about here, we suddenly heard the carousel organ playing
wolf and just.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Like now, hey, the music is playing, yes, all right,
then what happened, miss Wesley?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Wa We pulled up almost in front of the merry
ground like this, Miss Wesley, huhuh, yes, like now, and
through the trees we could see the lights of the
carousel like no, hey.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
This is crazy. Those lights are on and at two am.
Come on, come on, let's have a look a right,
the path.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
To the carousel is right to the head here.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I see it.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Come on, I'm coming okay. Now, after you heard the
music and saw the lights and came out here to
have a look at it, just like now, then what
miss Wesley?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, we stood here like this and watched the carousel
go around and round just right now and then and
then all of a suddenly notice the body on one
of the horses infected just like now.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Now back to Boston, Blackie. Blackie and Mary Wesley are
riding in a handsome cab in the park at two
o'clock in the morning when they find the carousel organ
playing lights of Blaze and revolving slowly with a dead
man riding one of the horses. The dead man is
(11:40):
John van Dorn, well known horseman. Investigation reveals no clues
nor uncovers the major suspect. That night, Faraday takes Mary
out to the carousel to go over the scene of
the crime, only to discover the organ playing, the lights blazing,
and another dead man riding a wooden horse.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We return to our story.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Paraday and Mary are standing by the carousel while Paraday's
men Inspector's.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
Got to be fingerprints somewhere.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Well, inspector, if you got troubles, slacky Blacky, you get
away from here, Sorry, Paraday. I must be bought vulture
or something. Every time I hear on my radio that
the body has been found, I have to come and
have a look at it.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Well, look at it then and leave there. It is
on that horse on amery ground.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Oh Blackie, it's Peter Carson, the man who wants the carrocal.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So I see how has he killed? Paraday shot the
same as Van Dorn. Uh huh? I suppose you know
why he was killed?
Speaker 6 (12:36):
I do?
Speaker 7 (12:37):
You must have seen who killed Van Dorn Friday.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Sometimes you amaze me. You're right for once. But do
you know who killed him?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
The same guy who killed Van Dorn?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Right again, Paraday, But you have the slightest idea who
killed in dawn? Have you? I thought? All right?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
All right, so I'm at all Do you know who
kill Van Doorn?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Do I know who killed and doing?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Well?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Do you no? The registered downstairs, said Harry Wilcox's office
was thirteen oh seven. That must be this way, Mary, Okay.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
There's this door.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Good, come on, woo.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
That was some climb up. Those dairs could have.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Been worse, Mary. This is a thirty six story building,
you know, could have been better. The elevators could have
been money. Well, I suppose I have to pick the lock.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Lucky you Sure it wouldn't be a lot easier if
we just see Harry Wilcock in his office tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Line, I've had one brush with Wilcox already, Mary, So
not to let me know that the Mondorn lawyer is
not the cooperative kind. Okay, man, I did it, and
the door's open, lady space.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I went walking into a dark office. The rules all right?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Here, you take the flass light, got it, tend it on.
Now I'll close the door.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Right flash I know what.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I shine it around the room. What I'm looking for
would probably being locock safe. I hope me too.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
But what if he doesn't have it safe?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
You say such awful things, Mary, you do?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
I just oh, there it is blackie like that farming
can is here?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Good? It's an easy kind of open.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Aren't they old?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You bring the light over all? Right?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
What? Just hold it and be quiet. I want to
hear the tumble a drop.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
I'll be quiet. There's one good that's two bitter, three
marvelous and open two.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Uh well, let's see inside.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Not much.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You're a safe. Few of ledgers do papers, uh huh,
and so one of those papers is what I'm looking for. Hey,
what are you looking for? You'll hit me on the
head if I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
And break a perfectly good flashlight.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
What are you looking for? I don't know?
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Up, you don't know?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Now something, oh dear, anything that could help me?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Hm?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Hey, hey, this might be interesting.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's from Don's contract with that Jasmine perfume firm? What
contract contract giving them the right to use his name
on their perfumes?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
See mm, yeah, I think I'll have a look at this.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah. Signed by them Dawn un Lester Rounson, president of Jasmine.
Cancelation clause. Cancelation clause. Where are you?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Maybe there isn't one.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Oh well, there isn't there one. Just this is good
A ridicule clause.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Ridicule clause. What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It means that if Vandawn ever did anything that might
hold him up to ridicule, this contract would automatically be canceled.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
What would be the purpose of that blacking.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'm not sure, but I can guess. And my guess
is that Ronson bought the Vandorn name because it had
some high society significance. In the event the name became
connected with anything ridiculous, would naturally have no value to Ronson.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Well, I'm very speed to myself, but I do understand.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
First thing, tomorrow morning, I am going to see mister Ronson.
Maybe he manufactures perfumes. But there's something about all this
that doesn't smell so good to me.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Secretary says, you want to see me, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
What about? Well, watch, mister Ronson. I just want to
know what you know about John van Down. I don't
know much.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I merely paid him for the use of his name
on my products.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yes, I know that, and see you turning out new
bottles for yourself. Mister Ronson, there was nice drawings on
your desk.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Oh, these these are just planning roughs.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Hey wait a minute, jump with those away. Seems to
me the name on the label wasn't from Dawn. It
was Winston, wasn't it. Yes, yes, but that means nothing.
It means something to me, Ronson. Your contract with Van
Dawn was canceled by his death, wasn't it? So your
perfumes are now to come out under a new name, Winston.
What was wrong with Van Done? Well, I might as
(17:32):
well tell you.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
You'll find out anyhow, the Van Dorn name didn't sell.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh, so you had a contract with Van Dawn. It
couldn't be canceled. His name wasn't selling your product. So
you killed him or you'd go broke.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
No, No, I didn't kill him.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But you did want to break your contract with him?
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Yes, but but I didn't kill him. All I tried
to do was involve him in his candle so I
could exercise these the ridicule clause in my contract.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
No, we're getting somewhere, and looked.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Like, yeah, I'll I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Just what I did bt time go on.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Well, then Dawn was a famous horseman, and I thought
the city would get a good laugh if they saw
him riding a wooden horse on a merry ground in
for riding habit.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That's exactly what I figured. You put him on that horse? Huh? Yes?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Yes, I had him come to my house just after
his daily ride in the park, and I dugged him,
and then at midnight I put him in my car
and drove to the carousel in.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
The park, carried him to one of the horses, and
then shot him. No, no, believe me.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
After he was on the horse, I turned down the
carousel lights and started the organ and put the carousel
in motion. And then and then I started to leave
to call a newspaper and give him a hot tip
for a picture. Society is leading horseman on a wooden horse,
you know.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
But there was a shot and.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Van Dorn slumped, and I knew the bullet had hit him.
I got scared and ducked into the bushes and left.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Did you see, no, it believed me.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
All I wanted to do was involve Van Dorn in
a scandal so I could can through my contract.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
All right, ronson that takes care of you for right now.
But right now I've got to take care of someone
who wanted to cancel Van Done. It's oh, it's you. Yes,
(19:22):
it's me, Missus Benne. And don't tell me I can't
come in because I.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Am now you can't.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
It's that Boston Blackie again, Blackie. I thought I told
you to stay away from us. Your hospitality was so charming, Wilcox,
I just couldn't resist another sample.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I'll give you a sample of something else if you
don't get out of here.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Don't make me laugh, say, Wilcox, you have an office,
you have a home of your own. Why is it
every time I see you you're here with Missus van Done?
Why I please? It's Harry, is it? And I think
you call her Blanche, don't you?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
That happens to be her name?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I know. And Blanche is the part of her name
that you don't. It tends to change, eh? Do I
hear wedding bells Now, let's hear Blackie.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
If you're suggesting that Harry killed my husband, that's absolutely.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
What I do mean to suggest is that your husband
was killed a little after midnight last night. And Wilcox,
where were you at that time at my club. Can
you prove it? Yes, I can prove it. I Oh, now,
who's that? I have a rough idea, not the rough
idea in Missus van Dorn. You can't keep him out?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Oh, expected Parady, How you back again? Come in?
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Thanks?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I look, Missus van Dorn.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Hi, Blackie, what are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Same old Faraday, same old question. I've got a suspect
for you. Wilcox.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Wilcox Anna, he couldn't have killed Van Dorn. The corner
says Van Dorn was killed sometime between midnight and two
o'clock this morning. I checked and found will Cox was
in the card room and his club during those hours.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Sorry, are you improving? Keep it up in one of
these days I won't even know you.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Let's hope that soon.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I demand you apologized to mister will Cox.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Blackie, Okay, Willcox, I'm sorry, But Faraday, can I see
you all moments alone? What about an idea just got
me that may get you a murderer? I hope you
(21:22):
want a freight in the park so late at night,
Missus vandone.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
It is rather dark and frightening, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yes it is. Oh, here's the path I want where
are we going to the merry around Missus Vindaane. If
you don't mind, no, why should I? Well, I thought
you wouldn't mind seeing it. You could help find your
husband's killer. Here we are.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Hopefully quiet out here, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yes, yes, it is, you know, Missus Vandne. When I
get off to any place like this where it's quiet,
my mind plays awfully strange tricks on me. I say, well,
I even seen to see things that aren't there. Oh,
psychiatrists would say that it was my subconscious mind working.
(22:09):
I suppose. Yes, it's very interesting. For instance, last night
I was standing in front of this carousel. The lights
were blazing. They were, yes, the lights were on. Well, Blackie,
look look, missus Mondone it what the lights of the
carousel are on? I don't see them, but too much.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Every light is on, every light No, mister imagine, No,
I'm not. The lights are on.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
The lights aren't on, Missus Bend, but.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
They are well.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And the merry corona is turning.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
At two o'clock in the morning. How could that be? Well,
it is, and there's the music and you hear that,
you do hear it? No, I don't know the music
is plain.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I looked America around his turning.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
I see it.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I see it.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I tell you when I hear it. It was just
like this.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
When I followed mister Ronson out here, I stood here.
I stood here and watched he put John on the.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Horse, and the carousel went around, it went around. And
when John came around one time I saw him. I
saw him.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
He was riding that food doors.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Of a down a down that is again, thinking that,
all right, Bertie, you can get off that with the horse.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
He parked.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Hm alone with you here at two o'clock. Oh, Blackie,
this is the life turn.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
This is the park. And the last time we came
here we got mixed up in a murder.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And how we were mixed up, And Blackie, I still
don't know why the carousel owner was killed.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Missus Vandan murder the carousel on him because she thought
he might have seen her shoot her husband and he
might have it. Man.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Oh but no, wait a minute, let's go back a
little bit further. How did missus van Dorn No Ronson
was bringing her husband out here in the first place.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Her husband had called her from Ronson's and when he
didn't show up, along about midnight she went over there,
she saw Ronson carrying her husband out and follow them.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Well, if she saw that, why didn't she talk to
the police afterwards?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Because, my dear, she was a killer, and she felt
the less said the better.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Blackie black of the music's playing again.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I know, I know, it's two o'clock again. But it's
not two o'clock in the morning, Mary, it's two o'clock
in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Oh oh, Blackie, let's go on the merry go round,
just you and I.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Well, poor Mary, but why, oh why.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Why?
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Well, I don't know exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Oh, yes I do. Maybe it's because I want people
to say that we're going around together.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
