CBS Radio Mystery Theater was a noteworthy attempt to revive in American radio dramas like Inner Sanctum (1941-1952) and Suspense (1942-1962). Radio dramas were widely considered "dead" 12 years prior to this series. CBS Radio Mystery Theater, or simply Mystery Theater, was created by Inner Sanctum creator Himan Brown and ran on CBS from 1974-1982. The show, much like older radio dramas, was introduced by a host (E.G. Marshall in this program), who steers us through the creaking door to start the episode. Many voices from the golden age of radio were featured, including Richard Widmark, Bret Morrison, Agnes Moorehead and many more.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
BBS Radio Mystery theater presents. Come in, Who welcome? I'm e. G. Marshall.
(00:27):
He who has a thousand friends has not a friend
to spare, and he who has one.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Enemy will meet him everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
One enemy, a single enemy, can be enough and more
than enough. One dedicated, determined enemy can breach any protective wall,
even if that wall is a thousand friends thick, and
he need not be a great, strong, or powerful enemy either.
(01:00):
Mosquitoes kill more people than tigers. You don't have to
arrest me, Lieutenant, I don't. It's my building beyond duty.
The city pays you what fifteen to twenty thousand a year.
I would you like to be a millionaire? You're trying
(01:20):
to bribe me for a millionaire.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
That's not a bribe, that's a rebirth.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I'm not for sale, not even for a million. You
know how much a millionaires show him his million lotty?
Our misty dramma Double Zero was written especially for the
(01:48):
Mystic Theory by Sam Dan and stars Robert Dryden. What
it is all about is love and money. Some say
(02:08):
you should also add war and hate. What hate is
the other side of love, and the basic cause of
war is money plus the absence of love, So no
matter where you turn, there's no getting away from it.
Every story you ever heard or read was about love
or money, and this one is no exception. We should
(02:30):
deal with liberal amounts.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Of each way. To begin, suppose we start with Stanley.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Skinner, a gentleman who is trying very hard to be
a good citizen. I uh call the special police telephone number. Yes,
mister Skinner, you know the one that's on the television. Yes,
if anyone has any information about uh about that murder?
And do you have such information missus Skinner? Well, it
(02:58):
said the police are baffled because it didn't seem to
be a robbery and the victim had a one hundred
dollars in his wallet. That's true, isn't, Lieutenant? Yes, And
it was reported that the one hundred dollars was in
the form the form of five twenty dollars bills. That's true, Yes,
(03:19):
all that was put on the air. And furthermore, each
twenty dollar bill it was a double zero written in
red ink. Now that's how the bills were described. I
missed the Skinner. What are you driving at? Those were
my twenty dollars bills? I say, mine and the sense,
the sense that at one time they were in my possession.
(03:41):
You see, I always make a double zero and reading,
go in every bill it's more than a dollar. I
missed the skinner. Will you tell me what?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'll tell you why?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
How many times did it make a small purchase, say
thirty five forty fifty cents, and you give the cashier
of the clerk a twenty and get that change for one. No,
it probably doesn't happen too often to you, your rabbit,
tall and strong and effective looking. But people like to
take advantage of me for some reason. So when they
(04:13):
say it wasn't the twenty, I say, look in the door.
You'll see a double zero written and reading. When did
you spend those bills? Well, my rent is one hundred
dollars a month. Where'd you give them money too?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Now you may think it's reasonable for these.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Times, Go, well, yesterday it was the first day of
the month. My landlord. Who is your landlord? Oh, oh, dear, I.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Will have to tell you his name?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
What I yes, Finstermacher, mister Hermann, j Fenstermocher. And what
time yesterday did you give him the money? Well, i'd
been to a cocktail party, and it was a frightful
bore and I left at about six and I passed
mister Fenstemarcker's office on the way home. Not knowin what
(05:02):
you're saying is at about six o'clock last evening, you
gave mister Fence to mark out the five twenty dollars
bills that were found on the body of the murder victim.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yes, yes, I suppose that's what I am saying.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Why I feel so terrified I think I should find Yes,
Oh well you are you sure? Well, I would say,
(05:39):
I have to tell him to come in.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Please always there a police officer.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Come it, come in. Thank you, mister defense to Marca,
he was yeah, great, no, thank you. My name is Kramer,
Detective Lieutenant Kramer. On the side, Well, what can I
do for you? At tennis? I assume I can do
something otherwise you wouldn't be here. You see that deduction
(06:13):
And mister Pence Demaker. Last night a man was murdered.
Crime and I just crimed. It is getting out of hands.
His name was ben Bow, Luther ben Bow. Did you
know him? Did I know him? He's a private investigator.
Did you give him one hundred dollars last night in
(06:34):
twenty dollar bills? Why should I give him him one
hundred dollars? At about six o'clock last night, a tenant
of yours, mister Stanley Skinner, paid you one hundred dollars
for the rent of his apartment.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Oh, mister Skinner, I know very well.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
And two hours later mister Luther ben Bow was found
shot to death, and the one hundred dollars were in
his pocket. Five twenty dollar bills, each marked with a
double zero and read ink, identified by mister Skinner as
the money he gave to you. Now let's begin all
over again. Did you know mister Luther Benbow? Yes? Why
(07:15):
did you give him a hundred dollars? Is that importance? Yes?
But it's something something very post This is a murder case.
I needed the services of a private detective and that
was his fame. Yes, what form I wanted him to? Uh? Yes,
(07:41):
my wife is having an affair, and I hired Benbow?
Who find out who the man is? Did he no?
How long had he been working on a month? And
he had no idea who the man could be? No? Lord,
Now let me ask you something. Who the man is
(08:01):
could be important to me? Why is it important? To you,
because if the man had something to lose, it might
be a motive for him to murder. Ben Bow to silence,
And now we could say the same thing about your wife,
my wife, Are you sure she was having an affair? Yes?
(08:22):
In one month, ben Bow was unable to produce any
definite results. How do you know he wasn't leading you on? Uh?
He said. He traced her to an apartment building at
nine to eleven Cherokee Circle. Cherokee Circle, that's where his
body was found. Yes, my uh wife would go there
for two three times a week, That's what ben Bow
(08:43):
told me.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
He would follow.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Her there and on those nights, where does your wife
tell you she's then? Well, hm, your prayer, show a movie?
You see I I had to work late most nights.
I say, well, what do you think you see her?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It's no picnic being.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
A landlord these days. He tried to tell me, I
neglect her. I give it all the money she wants,
so old ben Broker tell you is that she frequently
visits nine one one Cherokee Circle. Now he didn't find
out who she sees there. No, what are you trying
to do? Are you you're going to talk to her. Yes,
(09:26):
does this mean that she find out I had a
detective shadowing her? I'm afraid it does. But shull divorce me? Well,
isn't that why you hired a private detective to followers
you could get the evidence to divorce her. Well, that's different.
Why did he get to hire a detective? He could
(09:48):
have asked me. I would have told him, Well, and
you admit you were having an affair. What did he expect?
A man's name? What did he marry me? For him?
Am I just to sit around the house all day?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
And and I'm just waiting for his majesty to decide
to come home.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Missus Fenstermaker, that name, that's a mouthful. Tour wanted to
just call me? Say Linda, what does he say? He's busy,
he's swamped?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Would work?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I must ask you to tell me the man's name.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
You know, the guy has a good job, the wife kids,
This lesson, I mean, just a.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Good time for the both of us. His name, please,
so I'll tell you his name?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
What would prove he didn't kill that private eye?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I didn't either.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Both of us were standing.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Missus Senser Marker, I don't have to insist.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
Yeah, yeah, I know you will.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Well, he works for a bank, he's a trust officer,
so if this comes out he was dead, the level
will come in.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Well, it has to come out if it turns out
that neither of you were involved in a murderer. Probably not.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Yeah, it's sure, a real, definite, ironclad guaranteedn't.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
No, I'm sorry, It's the best I can do. Well,
mister Badchild, I uh, I don't know what I continue.
Well we know so far is that mister Luther Benbow,
a private detective, was killed in the line of dirtie
(11:29):
that is, he was murdered while shadowing surrender fence de
Maier lieutenant who had We're both wolf men of the world,
I trust. Now you realize that, if uh my relations
with missus Fenstermaker became known, my position here at the
bank would and would become untenable. Now, I'm afraid that's
all beside the point. I am a homicide detective investigating
(11:51):
a murder. Did you know you were being watched? Did
I know who you were being watched? Yes or no
is the answer, and all the answer is no. Did
you know mister Luther ben Bow? Wow? Once again the
answer is yes or no. While the answer is no, no,
(12:13):
And what you're saying is A you didn't know, mister
ben Bow, and B you were unaware of the fact
that you were being shattered. H Yes, that is exactly
what I'm saying. Now. Is there anything else I have
to do now? Not at this time? Would be kept
out of the news media this time? Yes, thank you,
(12:35):
Thank you, Lieutenant, be available in case you needed, but
needed for what I don't know. So far, the case
is still wide open. It is obvious therefore that ben
Bow was reading his quiet arm. It would be simple too.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Yes, said Jaine, the identity of the man his wife
was meeting at nine one one Cherokee.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Several objects to make the job last as long as me.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Oh, yes, Lieutenant Kramer, they said to see you about it,
about what the murder of that private eye. My name
is Mumpson Jolly Munson, Missus Lewis Munson, although I'm divorced.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Uh, yes, Missus Munson.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Well, I heard on the radio and in the papers
if anyone has any information concerning the murder of Luther.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Benbo to call.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And you have information, I don't know, you decide. Suppose
you tell me I worked.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
At nine to eleven Cherokee.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I'm a companion to an elderly gentleman, a nurse companion.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I read to him a lot.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Yes, well, uh, there's this nice couple, nice looking, I mean,
I've been meeting them on the other lately.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And they get off at the eighth floor.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
We don't know each other, but we nod and you know,
we say hello.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You know, now this is last night.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I'm waiting in front of of nine eleven for the bus,
you know, the express bus.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yes, yes, yes, I know it very well.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Well, they come out and they head to their car,
which is parked right as a curb.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
But suddenly they stop.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Now for the first time, Glaniel, there's a man standing
a little way down the street. Now, now, this gentleman
he leaves the lady and he walks over to this
man and he starts to.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Talk to him.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Could you hear what was said? Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Could I look at hear it all over the neighborhood.
This gentleman. He said to the man, are you finny
on me? And the man answered something like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
What you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Will There was more of that kind of stuff, and
the gentleman pretting to do something to him. Please the
lady called out, please don't start anything, and then the
gentleman and the lady got into his car.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
We're old in this.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I saw the dead man's picture in the paper, so
I thought.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
That the lady and the gentleman. You don't know their name.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
No, no, I'm not even sure they live in that building.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It they could just be visiting. But I remember the car.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Oh, it's a real nice looking foreign sports kind of car.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
And the license.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I noticed the license because it's so short and simple.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
U L fifty eight, you L fifty eight? Yeah, I
want to run a license number and get me the
motor vehicle computer. Yeah, I want U L five eight. Yes,
(15:47):
Ronald K. Fairchild, Yes, sir, you can't beat modern science.
Be surprised how many light detectives there are in this world.
Didn't we hear mister Fairchild say he didn't know, mister Benbo,
(16:08):
that he was unaware that he was being shadowed. Well,
we shall have to confront him with all this in
act too. Murder, that's what Lieutenant Kramer has to contend with.
(16:29):
Of course, murder moves in a bewildering maze of directions.
It refuses to confine itself to a.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Neat incise package.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
For example, we're already involved with adultery, conspiracy, falsehoods. Murder
certainly does not keep wholesome company. Let's Fairchild here still
insists you're completely unaware of mister Vwe Lieutenant. I swear
to mister Fairchild. I warn you, this is a very
(16:59):
serious situation. It's murdered. I don't want to take you
in and book you. I won't run away. I know
that you can't afford to, so I'm not going to
take you downtown just yet. You say, you and mister
(17:19):
Fairchild left the building last night and there was no
encounter with anyone. That's right.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
We just got into the cars that usually just drove
off as usual.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
This woman who says she saw a fair Child and
ben Bull get into an argument. Why would she lie?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Look, so many people need desperate, dull lives.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
This is a chance for her to do something.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Out of the ordinary.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
For why pick on you? Look, we've seen her in
the elevator. She's seen us. She gives us that up
and down. Look you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
It says.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
You too. You're not putting anything over on me.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Now she notices this Benbow hanging around she figures maybe
he's a detective. You know how most people love to
write mystery stories in their own heads, and so.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
She made it come together. I was with mister Fairchild
fifteen minutes ago. Did he call you and tell you
what to tell me? You told me you were not
in love with mister Fairchild. Is that still true? You're
sure it's true? Well, and if you're not in love
with him, why do you want to risk being an
(18:30):
accessory of murders? Murder? We had two thirds of the
way they are now as far as mister Fairchild is concerned,
we have motive. We have the fact that he was
heard to threaten Benbow. But it's her word.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
That woman.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Come on, missus Spence Delmacher. That woman is telling the
truth and you know it. I know it, and Fairchild
knows that you're in deep enough. How am I in
deep enough? You're having an affair with him? You're with him?
You also, I had a great deal to lose. You're
connected with the case. Okay, so far nothing points to you.
(19:07):
There's an involvement, but it's messy rather than illegal. They
can find him guilty and you can still walk away,
but don't try perjury. Or even conspiracy, because then you're
asking for the same first degree murder indictment that he's
liable for.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I don't see how I can commit perjury if I'm
placed understand that witness stand. I just have to tell
the truth.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
And what is the truth. The truth is that.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
He did notice the fellow, and not just for the first.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Time last night either because we spoke about it and.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
We didn't know, but last night I guess he's so sure,
and he.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
He did threaten this man.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That's the truth.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for him.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
That's so it goes, isn't. Yeah, so I goes.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Lot him. Let me say his down.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Have you seen the paper?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Mister Ronald Key Fairchild.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Has been charged with the murder of that U benbow fellow.
Oh yes, who rather prominent question? Mister Fairchild a trust
officer for un Union United Federal Well that.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Shows you who can't trust anyone at all these days?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
In a way, tron fair for mister Fairchild to pay
the prince release.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Yeah, Jonathan, as you yourself have often said, wife is unfair.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yes, but murder, especially since he didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Well, are you suggesting we get him off?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
However, his careers are shambled. Anyhow, the effect of adultery has
disgraced him permanently. So oh, my justice, way to make
sure he is convicted of the murder. How I don't
trust lawyers. State should have a really ironclad case against
him that will put the Benbo situation therest. If I
(21:22):
got well, what do you want to do? Who was usefule?
This Julian nurse, A very competent man. Dare Julius that
the gun he used should be found somewhere among mister
Fairtrial's possessions. I won't confess because I didn't do it.
(21:47):
Now he said, you didn't know, You weren't aware of
mister Benbaum. That was a lie. You did have a margin,
But that doesn't prove that calm in your den. In
the law left bottom drawer of your desk, we found
a thirty eight caliber Haskins Penrose revolver. What the thirty
eight caliber revolver that has been established as the weapon
(22:10):
that killed mister Benbo? What? I don't own a gun?
Get was found, as I said, in your desk drawer?
Oh sure of course it was planted there, mister Fairchild.
If you confess, if I confess how A not a cop.
But it's only my job. I'm human just as you are.
(22:32):
He had a hard time proving it. I can understand
what you did.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
What did I do the affair?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
She's a she's a great looking woman, and I can
understand it. Miss Benbow. Believe me, fairchild. He's a small
time hustler. He should have been in jail. He was
working fence Tomaca for a good thing. You saw his
face and you knew he had he could blackmail you
(23:01):
for the rest of your life. Now that's true, isn't it.
I didn't kill him, but you knew he had you yet, Okay?
I like you, fair child, because there but for the
grace of the well, the looks after guys like me. Well,
(23:25):
you have to pay for ben Bo. But I didn't
have anything to you. Did You had the motive and
we have the gun. How do you account for the gun?
I didn't kill him. Someone else did, and not someone
else planted that gun to make sure that I would
be convicted. I would not advise you or your lawyer
to try that defense. It's the truth. No, Well, I mispairtun,
(23:51):
but now I'm off it. Now I'm in the case.
Our job is to gather the evidence, make the arrest,
and from here and send the hands of the prosecutor.
But I am in a sudden yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,
good luck. Oh honey, what can I do for the officer?
(24:17):
There so many people have a joint tonight. You're looking
for somebody, Nah, who's freelancing for a little information. Now,
don't ask me what bit you nothing? Well, generally have
such a cheery smile. I didn't take get lost cop
carmoronized that had a way to talk to an officer
of the law. No, I just I guess I still
(24:41):
got the blues. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know i'd
missed him all that much. Are you telling him? Ut?
Speaker 6 (24:49):
You know?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh Lucy, Yeah that's right. You used to run around
with Lucy ben Bow. Yeah. It wasn't very much, but
it was all I had. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Maybe I'm getting older. We're all getting older. Honey, My honey,
hair is turning gray.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
It looks.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Funny. What's funny?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I see this guy who was on trial.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
It is gonna get convicted. Oh yeah, yeah, there's no
doubt about it. Oh, you're the one who brought him in,
aren't you one of those things practically solved itself, a
modest cop the Age of miracles. Yeah, it figures. What
figures the guy is tied up with the bank.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
You know what Luca told me just before he was killed.
He said, honey, I'm onto the biggest thing in my life.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, it's millions in it. Met Well, he could stick
old Man Fest to Marca for a couple of hundred,
maybe even a thousand, but that's all that traffic was
gonna be. That's what I told him. But you know
what he said, Fence de Macha was small change. He
gone to something else? What else?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
It had to do with the government, he said, the government.
What else?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
I don't know what else, because every time I try
to get more out of him, he just winked at
me and he'd say.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeh, now, when the time comes, that's all he said. Yeah,
and you can't tell me anything else. Look, if I
know anything else that you know more than you think,
only you're not aware of it. Now that he mentioned
some names, and what kind of name this thing he
said he was on here? Did he say where it was?
Speaker 4 (26:39):

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Yeah, yeah it was because he was taking out nine
to eleven, Cherokee Circle nine eleven.

This guy's fair child had rented an apartment to take
the fence Demaka Dame. And while he was on the
lookout there, he kind of latched onto the other thing,
one other thing.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I don't know. She He was sure tight mouth.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
He said to me, I made the contact, and he
knows he's got a pay off.

charge small potatoes. This guy he was big in I
I know, the the big government.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yes, it's in the apartment with the rest of his things.
I I just don't feel like getting rid of him yet.
Could we get a look at that book? When did
he tell you he have this appointment?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
It was the day before he was killed, and that
would make it Tuesday, the thirty first.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Right, Here's what it says, Tuesday, the thirty first appointment
with Corlets nine to eleven Cherokees Circle at a PM.
Those callers, I don't know is Corliss. He doesn't know,
(28:27):
and she doesn't know. But we know we met mister
Carlis during the unfolding of our second act. She was
the gentleman who wanted to make sure the murder weapon
would be discovered conveniently.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
In mister Fairchild's desk.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Well, you know, we'll meet him again in at three. Well,
the trial of Ronald K. Fairchild for the murder of
Luther proceeds apace and toward what seems to be an
(29:04):
inevitable birding. However, is a detective who has arrested mister
ben Bull has suddenly inadvertently discovered that the investigation might
have ended a bit too hastily. All that. Hello, do
you remember me, missus Munson?
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Huh uh ah, but you the police lieutenant.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I thought someone was trying to take me up.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Is got somebody fresh now, someone's pupid. Don't want an
old dame like me? Come on, then, I say, can
I give you a less? Oh? What have you got?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Nine?
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Well, this is official business.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
I'm afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
We might as well drive towards your place.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Oh, well, you want to ask me?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
You seem to know everybody in the building.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I understand.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Mister Haulers loves my building.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Jonathan call it yeah, maintains off in the apartment of
the fifteenth floor tofts. He has a mistress. U mistress, Well,
she's been introduced as his secretary, but she lives there too.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Besides, she has the longest, prettiest fingernails I ever saw.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
So I don't think typing is her major talent.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
It was you have to know what business mister Carlis
is in. Would I know?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Well?
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Other I've been trying to figure that out. And well,
and I think mister Corliss is a uh an expediter.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
And an expediter. Now what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
What it means he expedite things?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
What kind of things? And for home?
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Well, I think he has ranged for a favor what
kind of thing? No Jeneta favorite?
Speaker 4 (30:47):
The way I understand it, mister Corlis will find out
who'll be willing to do.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
It for you for a price.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Of course, I see tee tenant of Why have you
asked me all these questions?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Well, I'm not sure just yet. Has it got to
do with police business. Of course.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Well, I mean, now.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
If I can be a further help, then Bayley says,
I'm absolutely nothing else to do.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
My dear, A police detective wants to see you.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I wouldn't know why I asked him that.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
He said it was a police matter. Well, then I
should have to see won't try We have him come in?
Won't you come in there? Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Mister Corlis is his lieutenant Kramer of the City Police Department.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
No do you do, sir? Please be seated?
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Well? Law? What he said I can do for him? Well,
some time ago, almost a month now. Uh, mister Luther
Benball was shot to death years did you know mister
ben Ball?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Why do you ask?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Did you have an appointment to see mister Benbow at
eight o'clock on the night of the thirty first consulted
my calendar? Please lay there? Did I have such an appointment?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
No, no appointment with the mister Benbow.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
We should not be surprising since I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
As it turns out, mister Benboom, then you deny having
this appointment? Who didn't? Am I being accused? No requiring
to mister Benbo's appointment book he had a date to.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
See Ah, you sure positive?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
The notation reads chorus nine to eleven Cherokee Circle at
eight pm.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
With my name and address.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
But I didn't know the gentleman and he was never here.
Mister Corlis, I am trying to retrace mister Benbo's tray.
I understandt now. Is it possible that he might have
been here under a different name? Did you have any
other appointment schedules for eight pm?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Why write a crewmember?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
You have no idea why your name should have been
and mister ben Bos not but none at all. I'm sorry.
I just said, oh, it's quite all right. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I was unable to be a persistent.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
If I say and miss now, that's all right, I
can let myself out. Is he gone?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Well what do you make of that? Well, I'm sure
you know what to make of it, Jonathan, A key
statement spoken by our detective. I am trying to retrace
mister Benbow's trail.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Key for two reasons.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
You tell me what they are? Absolutely not. Why should
anyone want to retrace mister Benbow's trail.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Mister Fairchild is being.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Tried with his murder and is well on his way,
don't convict him. Second, the detective didn't say we are
trying to retrace the trailer. He said, I am trying.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What does that suggest?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Once again, my dear, you will have to tell me
Lieutenant Kramer is operating in a lone wolf and very.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Likely unofficial capacity.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Occasionally get a policeman who is dissatisfied with the way
the department has handled the case and he has to
be done about it. Hello, Yes, just a minute, it's
for you, Julian, Thank you, Harry, here's curious or never
mind that we're here now? Who Yes, when I see
(34:53):
we'll stand by. I'll have something for you later. Very interesting. Julius,
as you know, has been watching the house well. Last
evening he saw a man whom he recognizes a police detective,
pull over to the curb and start to talk with
a woman who works in the building.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Missus Munson.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Munson at any rate, Julia saw her get into the
detective's car and drive off. Now we have something to
think about. A detective talks to a woman in this building,
and the next day he comes here to talk to
me about the Benbo murder, which should be as far
as waitingserned a datish room. I got it. She told
(35:37):
him Benbo was here.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I would see now what she might have seen him. Yes,
and we're in trouble.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Anything Julius can handle.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Julius can always handle it.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
As a last result. Why not as the first thing? Off?
Because of simply can't murder people the way you swat
from Why not both of them?
Speaker 4 (35:59):
The end of them now, Jonathan, before I can grow
and develop, do yourself said, the cop is free landing.
I means his boss doesn't know what he's up to,
and that day, who'll miss her?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
It's certainly tempting, except we can't be sure.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Jonathan, did you know how much money is involved here?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I was the one who determined the amount.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Because we've almost got it by nothing must go wrong now.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
So.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
You'll buy her off, buy her home, you know, always
get rid of her later. What about the cop? So
he doesn't know what it's all.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
About anyway, he's just a cop, They bother us.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
We can buy him off, or as they say, bump
him offett. Yeah, oh, oh, it's missus munster.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
I'm sorry to disturb you.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
The man.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
Yes, I noticed him hanging around nine to eleven all
the time this morning as I left to go to
work at nine to eleven, I caught a drink of him.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Hanging around my apartment house.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Is sure, Yes, I'm positive he was in a part card.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
When I left for the bus stop, he followed me
and he parked across the street as I waited for
the bus. Then when I got on the.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Bus, he followed the bus. I got rid of him.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I waited for a red life and the bus arrived.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
At the tentroal Plaza.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
You know how sad of it is there, And I
ran off the bus and around the corner that's the
one way street, and I asking right here, lieutenant, why
am I being followed?
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Well, it could be your imagination.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Oh no, I saw the man distinkly.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Can't you describe him?
Speaker 5 (37:43):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Sure, Billy stout ron a broken nose. Wait a minute,
wait a minute, at shock, Lieuturnt Kramer. I want to
look at some pictures.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Yeah, right now, absolutely, it's the second feller.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
You sure positive? Oh yeah, I was afraid of that.
What this man is Julius Nightingale, And don't let the
name fool you.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
He's a killer. Well then why is me behind bars?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Because he could never prove it? Well, now I know what.
Ben Bow was on a routine divorced evidence's case when
suddenly he stumbled into something big, tried to get a
piece for himself, and he was killed for it. Didn't
the fair child isn't dauty. This is only a theory.
(38:36):
But how can we turn it into a fact? Missus Mumpson,
What a pleasant surprise. I understand we're neighbors.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Well during the day.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Anyhow, I'm so happy you paid.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Us a social call. It's business. We didn't when he
come to the point.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
How much is it worked for?
Speaker 1 (39:02):
What for me to keep my mouth shut? Should I
pay you anything to keep your mouth up?
Speaker 4 (39:07):
I was a very good friend of mister Benbow.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
What said to me?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
He was here the night before he died, and you
denied it. I try and come up, so he told
me everything.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
What are you bad on? You? Really? I suppose you
tell that to me, Carlous.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
You know what we have to do. Don't say another word.
That's what she's here for.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
The foolish and the same something that police probably have
a wired of a word in this room is being taped.
Oh yes, oh so you see missus Munsoon.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I'm afraid you are to stretch him favor.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yes, yes, here's the time. I've got a knock her
heart up, tring to shut up.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
I don't want to cut up.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
I don't want to knock off before you can stand us.
I set up, Julius.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Don't get your right before you've got caught.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
What service name?
Speaker 6 (40:01):
Huh ah?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
He's welcome for you, I said, I come up here.
I'm not a prayer of your How.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Am I doing?
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Please?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Been set up by the police. She's got to have
a hidden microphone or recorder on herself, so shut up?
That's right? Or is shut up?
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Show me the police.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
We got men all around the building.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Written lu turned into.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
All talk privately in jail. It is exactly four million
dollars in the world here. Now this would be enough
for you. Why don't you just tell that to the jet?
But I will be international ramification. Tell that to the jet.
We jeopardize the security of our country. I think our
(40:49):
country is more secure with you behind barns. Oh, it
probably is, as you can surmise, mister Carlis was an
international fixer who corrupted government officials both here and abroad.
(41:10):
He would have been free to this day had not
a rather CD private investigator blundered into the secret. That's
that's how it goes so often. It's the little things.
For want of an air, the kingdom was lost for
one of 'em. No, well, there'll be no want of me.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I shall return shortly. It is a magic moment.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
You are at your buick dealers about to drive home
and your brand new buick less saver. It's lean and trim,
classic line. It looks quite unlike any full size buick
you can remember. You get in a heavy new car.
Smell surrounds you will a saber feels the way it looks.
Might you turn to wheel a little? No wasted motion
(41:53):
in this car, big rush, metallic gauges look back at you.
That du sex agent is doing you great. You're up
your hand on the seat. Six people could be really
comfortable in here.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
You're swinging in your driveway.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Your wife, the kids, the dog, everyone with the parakeet
descends on the car and gets it alf you go,
But nowhere in particular, life and your number saber are great.
Maybe the dog shouldn't sit on the seat. I suppose
(42:46):
the real thing we're talking about is serendipity. You know,
you start to go somewhere, and you get distracted and
wind up somewhere else. Like Columbus, He started about to
find a passage.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
To India and thereby discovered American.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
In serendipity a hand to mouth, the investigator is satisfied
to work for crumbs and suddenly stumbled on a bank.
Speaker 6 (43:17):
Unfortunately it kills him.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Our cast included Robert Dryden, Bill Griffis, Earl Hammond, Briana
Rayburn and Joan Shay. The entire production was under the
direction of Pymond Brown and now a preview of our
(44:08):
next tale.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
I am here tonight.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
Every day got toward you that you have yet a
hope of escaping my faith.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
You were always a good friend. Thankie. You will be auted.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
By free speed. That is the hope you mentioned. It is.
I think I'd rather not without help visits. You have
no hope but the shudden the path I tread. Expect
the first tomorrow when the bell tolds what, But couldn't
(44:46):
I take them all at once and have it over.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Expect the second on the next night at the same hour.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
But for it when the last stroke of twelve has
ceased to vibrate.
Speaker 6 (44:59):
On your man.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Blu Rock Radio Mystery.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
Theater was sponsored in part by Anhuisy Bush Incorporated Boers
of Budweiser. Missus E. G. Marshall inviting you to return
to our Mystery Theater for another adventure in the macabre.
Until next time, pleasant,
BBS Radio Mystery theater presents. Come in, Who welcome? I'm e. G. Marshall.
(00:27):
He who has a thousand friends has not a friend
to spare, and he who has one.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Enemy will meet him everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
One enemy, a single enemy, can be enough and more
than enough. One dedicated, determined enemy can breach any protective wall,
even if that wall is a thousand friends thick, and
he need not be a great, strong, or powerful enemy either.
(01:00):
Mosquitoes kill more people than tigers. You don't have to
arrest me, Lieutenant, I don't. It's my building beyond duty.
The city pays you what fifteen to twenty thousand a year.
I would you like to be a millionaire? You're trying
(01:20):
to bribe me for a millionaire.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
That's not a bribe, that's a rebirth.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I'm not for sale, not even for a million. You
know how much a millionaires show him his million lotty?
Our misty dramma Double Zero was written especially for the
(01:48):
Mystic Theory by Sam Dan and stars Robert Dryden. What
it is all about is love and money. Some say
(02:08):
you should also add war and hate. What hate is
the other side of love, and the basic cause of
war is money plus the absence of love, So no
matter where you turn, there's no getting away from it.
Every story you ever heard or read was about love
or money, and this one is no exception. We should
(02:30):
deal with liberal amounts.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Of each way. To begin, suppose we start with Stanley.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Skinner, a gentleman who is trying very hard to be
a good citizen. I uh call the special police telephone number. Yes,
mister Skinner, you know the one that's on the television. Yes,
if anyone has any information about uh about that murder?
And do you have such information missus Skinner? Well, it
(02:58):
said the police are baffled because it didn't seem to
be a robbery and the victim had a one hundred
dollars in his wallet. That's true, isn't, Lieutenant? Yes, And
it was reported that the one hundred dollars was in
the form the form of five twenty dollars bills. That's true, Yes,
(03:19):
all that was put on the air. And furthermore, each
twenty dollar bill it was a double zero written in
red ink. Now that's how the bills were described. I
missed the Skinner. What are you driving at? Those were
my twenty dollars bills? I say, mine and the sense,
the sense that at one time they were in my possession.
(03:41):
You see, I always make a double zero and reading,
go in every bill it's more than a dollar. I
missed the skinner. Will you tell me what?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'll tell you why?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
How many times did it make a small purchase, say
thirty five forty fifty cents, and you give the cashier
of the clerk a twenty and get that change for one. No,
it probably doesn't happen too often to you, your rabbit,
tall and strong and effective looking. But people like to
take advantage of me for some reason. So when they
(04:13):
say it wasn't the twenty, I say, look in the door.
You'll see a double zero written and reading. When did
you spend those bills? Well, my rent is one hundred
dollars a month. Where'd you give them money too?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Now you may think it's reasonable for these.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Times, Go, well, yesterday it was the first day of
the month. My landlord. Who is your landlord? Oh, oh, dear, I.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Will have to tell you his name?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
What I yes, Finstermacher, mister Hermann, j Fenstermocher. And what
time yesterday did you give him the money? Well, i'd
been to a cocktail party, and it was a frightful
bore and I left at about six and I passed
mister Fenstemarcker's office on the way home. Not knowin what
(05:02):
you're saying is at about six o'clock last evening, you
gave mister Fence to mark out the five twenty dollars
bills that were found on the body of the murder victim.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yes, yes, I suppose that's what I am saying.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Why I feel so terrified I think I should find Yes,
Oh well you are you sure? Well, I would say,
(05:39):
I have to tell him to come in.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Please always there a police officer.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Come it, come in. Thank you, mister defense to Marca,
he was yeah, great, no, thank you. My name is Kramer,
Detective Lieutenant Kramer. On the side, Well, what can I
do for you? At tennis? I assume I can do
something otherwise you wouldn't be here. You see that deduction
(06:13):
And mister Pence Demaker. Last night a man was murdered.
Crime and I just crimed. It is getting out of hands.
His name was ben Bow, Luther ben Bow. Did you
know him? Did I know him? He's a private investigator.
Did you give him one hundred dollars last night in
(06:34):
twenty dollar bills? Why should I give him him one
hundred dollars? At about six o'clock last night, a tenant
of yours, mister Stanley Skinner, paid you one hundred dollars
for the rent of his apartment.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Oh, mister Skinner, I know very well.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
And two hours later mister Luther ben Bow was found
shot to death, and the one hundred dollars were in
his pocket. Five twenty dollar bills, each marked with a
double zero and read ink, identified by mister Skinner as
the money he gave to you. Now let's begin all
over again. Did you know mister Luther Benbow? Yes? Why
(07:15):
did you give him a hundred dollars? Is that importance? Yes?
But it's something something very post This is a murder case.
I needed the services of a private detective and that
was his fame. Yes, what form I wanted him to? Uh? Yes,
(07:41):
my wife is having an affair, and I hired Benbow?
Who find out who the man is? Did he no?
How long had he been working on a month? And
he had no idea who the man could be? No? Lord,
Now let me ask you something. Who the man is
(08:01):
could be important to me? Why is it important? To you,
because if the man had something to lose, it might
be a motive for him to murder. Ben Bow to silence,
And now we could say the same thing about your wife,
my wife, Are you sure she was having an affair? Yes?
(08:22):
In one month, ben Bow was unable to produce any
definite results. How do you know he wasn't leading you on? Uh?
He said. He traced her to an apartment building at
nine to eleven Cherokee Circle. Cherokee Circle, that's where his
body was found. Yes, my uh wife would go there
for two three times a week, That's what ben Bow
(08:43):
told me.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
He would follow.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Her there and on those nights, where does your wife
tell you she's then? Well, hm, your prayer, show a movie?
You see I I had to work late most nights.
I say, well, what do you think you see her?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It's no picnic being.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
A landlord these days. He tried to tell me, I
neglect her. I give it all the money she wants,
so old ben Broker tell you is that she frequently
visits nine one one Cherokee Circle. Now he didn't find
out who she sees there. No, what are you trying
to do? Are you you're going to talk to her. Yes,
(09:26):
does this mean that she find out I had a
detective shadowing her? I'm afraid it does. But shull divorce me? Well,
isn't that why you hired a private detective to followers
you could get the evidence to divorce her. Well, that's different.
Why did he get to hire a detective? He could
(09:48):
have asked me. I would have told him, Well, and
you admit you were having an affair. What did he expect?
A man's name? What did he marry me? For him?
Am I just to sit around the house all day?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
And and I'm just waiting for his majesty to decide
to come home.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Missus Fenstermaker, that name, that's a mouthful. Tour wanted to
just call me? Say Linda, what does he say? He's busy,
he's swamped?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Would work?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I must ask you to tell me the man's name.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
You know, the guy has a good job, the wife kids,
This lesson, I mean, just a.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Good time for the both of us. His name, please,
so I'll tell you his name?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
What would prove he didn't kill that private eye?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I didn't either.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Both of us were standing.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Missus Senser Marker, I don't have to insist.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
Yeah, yeah, I know you will.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Well, he works for a bank, he's a trust officer,
so if this comes out he was dead, the level
will come in.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Well, it has to come out if it turns out
that neither of you were involved in a murderer. Probably not.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Yeah, it's sure, a real, definite, ironclad guaranteedn't.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
No, I'm sorry, It's the best I can do. Well,
mister Badchild, I uh, I don't know what I continue.
Well we know so far is that mister Luther Benbow,
a private detective, was killed in the line of dirtie
(11:29):
that is, he was murdered while shadowing surrender fence de
Maier lieutenant who had We're both wolf men of the world,
I trust. Now you realize that, if uh my relations
with missus Fenstermaker became known, my position here at the
bank would and would become untenable. Now, I'm afraid that's
all beside the point. I am a homicide detective investigating
(11:51):
a murder. Did you know you were being watched? Did
I know who you were being watched? Yes or no
is the answer, and all the answer is no. Did
you know mister Luther ben Bow? Wow? Once again the
answer is yes or no. While the answer is no, no,
(12:13):
And what you're saying is A you didn't know, mister
ben Bow, and B you were unaware of the fact
that you were being shattered. H Yes, that is exactly
what I'm saying. Now. Is there anything else I have
to do now? Not at this time? Would be kept
out of the news media this time? Yes, thank you,
(12:35):
Thank you, Lieutenant, be available in case you needed, but
needed for what I don't know. So far, the case
is still wide open. It is obvious therefore that ben
Bow was reading his quiet arm. It would be simple too.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Yes, said Jaine, the identity of the man his wife
was meeting at nine one one Cherokee.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Several objects to make the job last as long as me.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Oh, yes, Lieutenant Kramer, they said to see you about it,
about what the murder of that private eye. My name
is Mumpson Jolly Munson, Missus Lewis Munson, although I'm divorced.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Uh, yes, Missus Munson.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Well, I heard on the radio and in the papers
if anyone has any information concerning the murder of Luther.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Benbo to call.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And you have information, I don't know, you decide. Suppose
you tell me I worked.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
At nine to eleven Cherokee.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I'm a companion to an elderly gentleman, a nurse companion.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I read to him a lot.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Yes, well, uh, there's this nice couple, nice looking, I mean,
I've been meeting them on the other lately.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And they get off at the eighth floor.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
We don't know each other, but we nod and you know,
we say hello.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You know, now this is last night.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I'm waiting in front of of nine eleven for the bus,
you know, the express bus.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yes, yes, yes, I know it very well.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Well, they come out and they head to their car,
which is parked right as a curb.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
But suddenly they stop.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Now for the first time, Glaniel, there's a man standing
a little way down the street. Now, now, this gentleman
he leaves the lady and he walks over to this
man and he starts to.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Talk to him.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Could you hear what was said? Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Could I look at hear it all over the neighborhood.
This gentleman. He said to the man, are you finny
on me? And the man answered something like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
What you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Will There was more of that kind of stuff, and
the gentleman pretting to do something to him. Please the
lady called out, please don't start anything, and then the
gentleman and the lady got into his car.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
We're old in this.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I saw the dead man's picture in the paper, so
I thought.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
That the lady and the gentleman. You don't know their name.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
No, no, I'm not even sure they live in that building.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It they could just be visiting. But I remember the car.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Oh, it's a real nice looking foreign sports kind of car.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
And the license.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I noticed the license because it's so short and simple.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
U L fifty eight, you L fifty eight? Yeah, I
want to run a license number and get me the
motor vehicle computer. Yeah, I want U L five eight. Yes,
(15:47):
Ronald K. Fairchild, Yes, sir, you can't beat modern science.
Be surprised how many light detectives there are in this world.
Didn't we hear mister Fairchild say he didn't know, mister Benbo,
(16:08):
that he was unaware that he was being shadowed. Well,
we shall have to confront him with all this in
act too. Murder, that's what Lieutenant Kramer has to contend with.
(16:29):
Of course, murder moves in a bewildering maze of directions.
It refuses to confine itself to a.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Neat incise package.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
For example, we're already involved with adultery, conspiracy, falsehoods. Murder
certainly does not keep wholesome company. Let's Fairchild here still
insists you're completely unaware of mister Vwe Lieutenant. I swear
to mister Fairchild. I warn you, this is a very
(16:59):
serious situation. It's murdered. I don't want to take you
in and book you. I won't run away. I know
that you can't afford to, so I'm not going to
take you downtown just yet. You say, you and mister
(17:19):
Fairchild left the building last night and there was no
encounter with anyone. That's right.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
We just got into the cars that usually just drove
off as usual.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
This woman who says she saw a fair Child and
ben Bull get into an argument. Why would she lie?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Look, so many people need desperate, dull lives.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
This is a chance for her to do something.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Out of the ordinary.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
For why pick on you? Look, we've seen her in
the elevator. She's seen us. She gives us that up
and down. Look you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
It says.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
You too. You're not putting anything over on me.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Now she notices this Benbow hanging around she figures maybe
he's a detective. You know how most people love to
write mystery stories in their own heads, and so.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
She made it come together. I was with mister Fairchild
fifteen minutes ago. Did he call you and tell you
what to tell me? You told me you were not
in love with mister Fairchild. Is that still true? You're
sure it's true? Well, and if you're not in love
with him, why do you want to risk being an
(18:30):
accessory of murders? Murder? We had two thirds of the
way they are now as far as mister Fairchild is concerned,
we have motive. We have the fact that he was
heard to threaten Benbow. But it's her word.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
That woman.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Come on, missus Spence Delmacher. That woman is telling the
truth and you know it. I know it, and Fairchild
knows that you're in deep enough. How am I in
deep enough? You're having an affair with him? You're with him?
You also, I had a great deal to lose. You're
connected with the case. Okay, so far nothing points to you.
(19:07):
There's an involvement, but it's messy rather than illegal. They
can find him guilty and you can still walk away,
but don't try perjury. Or even conspiracy, because then you're
asking for the same first degree murder indictment that he's
liable for.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I don't see how I can commit perjury if I'm
placed understand that witness stand. I just have to tell
the truth.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
And what is the truth. The truth is that.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
He did notice the fellow, and not just for the first.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Time last night either because we spoke about it and.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
We didn't know, but last night I guess he's so sure,
and he.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
He did threaten this man.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That's the truth.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for him.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
That's so it goes, isn't. Yeah, so I goes.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Lot him. Let me say his down.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Have you seen the paper?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Mister Ronald Key Fairchild.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Has been charged with the murder of that U benbow fellow.
Oh yes, who rather prominent question? Mister Fairchild a trust
officer for un Union United Federal Well that.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Shows you who can't trust anyone at all these days?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
In a way, tron fair for mister Fairchild to pay
the prince release.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Yeah, Jonathan, as you yourself have often said, wife is unfair.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yes, but murder, especially since he didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Well, are you suggesting we get him off?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
However, his careers are shambled. Anyhow, the effect of adultery has
disgraced him permanently. So oh, my justice, way to make
sure he is convicted of the murder. How I don't
trust lawyers. State should have a really ironclad case against
him that will put the Benbo situation therest. If I
(21:22):
got well, what do you want to do? Who was usefule?
This Julian nurse, A very competent man. Dare Julius that
the gun he used should be found somewhere among mister
Fairtrial's possessions. I won't confess because I didn't do it.
(21:47):
Now he said, you didn't know, You weren't aware of
mister Benbaum. That was a lie. You did have a margin,
But that doesn't prove that calm in your den. In
the law left bottom drawer of your desk, we found
a thirty eight caliber Haskins Penrose revolver. What the thirty
eight caliber revolver that has been established as the weapon
(22:10):
that killed mister Benbo? What? I don't own a gun?
Get was found, as I said, in your desk drawer?
Oh sure of course it was planted there, mister Fairchild.
If you confess, if I confess how A not a cop.
But it's only my job. I'm human just as you are.
(22:32):
He had a hard time proving it. I can understand
what you did.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
What did I do the affair?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
She's a she's a great looking woman, and I can
understand it. Miss Benbow. Believe me, fairchild. He's a small
time hustler. He should have been in jail. He was
working fence Tomaca for a good thing. You saw his
face and you knew he had he could blackmail you
(23:01):
for the rest of your life. Now that's true, isn't it.
I didn't kill him, but you knew he had you yet, Okay?
I like you, fair child, because there but for the
grace of the well, the looks after guys like me. Well,
(23:25):
you have to pay for ben Bo. But I didn't
have anything to you. Did You had the motive and
we have the gun. How do you account for the gun?
I didn't kill him. Someone else did, and not someone
else planted that gun to make sure that I would
be convicted. I would not advise you or your lawyer
to try that defense. It's the truth. No, Well, I mispairtun,
(23:51):
but now I'm off it. Now I'm in the case.
Our job is to gather the evidence, make the arrest,
and from here and send the hands of the prosecutor.
But I am in a sudden yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,
good luck. Oh honey, what can I do for the officer?
(24:17):
There so many people have a joint tonight. You're looking
for somebody, Nah, who's freelancing for a little information. Now,
don't ask me what bit you nothing? Well, generally have
such a cheery smile. I didn't take get lost cop
carmoronized that had a way to talk to an officer
of the law. No, I just I guess I still
(24:41):
got the blues. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know i'd
missed him all that much. Are you telling him? Ut?
Speaker 6 (24:49):
You know?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh Lucy, Yeah that's right. You used to run around
with Lucy ben Bow. Yeah. It wasn't very much, but
it was all I had. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Maybe I'm getting older. We're all getting older. Honey, My honey,
hair is turning gray.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
It looks.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Funny. What's funny?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I see this guy who was on trial.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
It is gonna get convicted. Oh yeah, yeah, there's no
doubt about it. Oh, you're the one who brought him in,
aren't you one of those things practically solved itself, a
modest cop the Age of miracles. Yeah, it figures. What
figures the guy is tied up with the bank.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
You know what Luca told me just before he was killed.
He said, honey, I'm onto the biggest thing in my life.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, it's millions in it. Met Well, he could stick
old Man Fest to Marca for a couple of hundred,
maybe even a thousand, but that's all that traffic was
gonna be. That's what I told him. But you know
what he said, Fence de Macha was small change. He
gone to something else? What else?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
It had to do with the government, he said, the government.
What else?
Speaker 5 (26:13):
I don't know what else, because every time I try
to get more out of him, he just winked at
me and he'd say.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeh, now, when the time comes, that's all he said. Yeah,
and you can't tell me anything else. Look, if I
know anything else that you know more than you think,
only you're not aware of it. Now that he mentioned
some names, and what kind of name this thing he
said he was on here? Did he say where it was?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (26:39):
Yeah, yeah it was because he was taking out nine
to eleven, Cherokee Circle nine eleven.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, you see, that's where.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
This guy's fair child had rented an apartment to take
the fence Demaka Dame. And while he was on the
lookout there, he kind of latched onto the other thing,
one other thing.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I don't know. She He was sure tight mouth.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
He said to me, I made the contact, and he
knows he's got a pay off.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Are you sure he wasn't talking about fair chunah, fair
charge small potatoes. This guy he was big in I
I know, the the big government.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
He he said he'd made the appointment and talk to
the guy an appointment. You say he had an appointment?
He said he had an appointment. Well, would he have
written that down somewhere I don't know who, Maybe in
his book his book? Yeah, yeah, he kept a book
for appointments to that book.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Where is it?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Why?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yes, it's in the apartment with the rest of his things.
I I just don't feel like getting rid of him yet.
Could we get a look at that book? When did
he tell you he have this appointment?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
It was the day before he was killed, and that
would make it Tuesday, the thirty first.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Right, Here's what it says, Tuesday, the thirty first appointment
with Corlets nine to eleven Cherokees Circle at a PM.
Those callers, I don't know is Corliss. He doesn't know,
(28:27):
and she doesn't know. But we know we met mister
Carlis during the unfolding of our second act. She was
the gentleman who wanted to make sure the murder weapon
would be discovered conveniently.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
In mister Fairchild's desk.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Well, you know, we'll meet him again in at three. Well,
the trial of Ronald K. Fairchild for the murder of
Luther proceeds apace and toward what seems to be an
(29:04):
inevitable birding. However, is a detective who has arrested mister
ben Bull has suddenly inadvertently discovered that the investigation might
have ended a bit too hastily. All that. Hello, do
you remember me, missus Munson?
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Huh uh ah, but you the police lieutenant.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I thought someone was trying to take me up.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Is got somebody fresh now, someone's pupid. Don't want an
old dame like me? Come on, then, I say, can
I give you a less? Oh? What have you got?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Nine?
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Well, this is official business.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
I'm afraid of that.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
We might as well drive towards your place.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Oh, well, you want to ask me?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
You seem to know everybody in the building.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I understand.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Mister Haulers loves my building.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Jonathan call it yeah, maintains off in the apartment of
the fifteenth floor tofts. He has a mistress. U mistress, Well,
she's been introduced as his secretary, but she lives there too.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Besides, she has the longest, prettiest fingernails I ever saw.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
So I don't think typing is her major talent.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
It was you have to know what business mister Carlis
is in. Would I know?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Well?
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Other I've been trying to figure that out. And well,
and I think mister Corliss is a uh an expediter.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
And an expediter. Now what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
What it means he expedite things?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
What kind of things? And for home?
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Well, I think he has ranged for a favor what
kind of thing? No Jeneta favorite?
Speaker 4 (30:47):
The way I understand it, mister Corlis will find out
who'll be willing to do.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
It for you for a price.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Of course, I see tee tenant of Why have you
asked me all these questions?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Well, I'm not sure just yet. Has it got to
do with police business. Of course.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Well, I mean, now.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
If I can be a further help, then Bayley says,
I'm absolutely nothing else to do.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
My dear, A police detective wants to see you.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I wouldn't know why I asked him that.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
He said it was a police matter. Well, then I
should have to see won't try We have him come in?
Won't you come in there? Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Mister Corlis is his lieutenant Kramer of the City Police Department.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
No do you do, sir? Please be seated?
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Well? Law? What he said I can do for him? Well,
some time ago, almost a month now. Uh, mister Luther
Benball was shot to death years did you know mister
ben Ball?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Why do you ask?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Did you have an appointment to see mister Benbow at
eight o'clock on the night of the thirty first consulted
my calendar? Please lay there? Did I have such an appointment?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
No, no appointment with the mister Benbow.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
We should not be surprising since I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
As it turns out, mister Benboom, then you deny having
this appointment? Who didn't? Am I being accused? No requiring
to mister Benbo's appointment book he had a date to.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
See Ah, you sure positive?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
The notation reads chorus nine to eleven Cherokee Circle at
eight pm.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
With my name and address.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
But I didn't know the gentleman and he was never here.
Mister Corlis, I am trying to retrace mister Benbo's tray.
I understandt now. Is it possible that he might have
been here under a different name? Did you have any
other appointment schedules for eight pm?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Why write a crewmember?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
You have no idea why your name should have been
and mister ben Bos not but none at all. I'm sorry.
I just said, oh, it's quite all right. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I was unable to be a persistent.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
If I say and miss now, that's all right, I
can let myself out. Is he gone?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Well what do you make of that? Well, I'm sure
you know what to make of it, Jonathan, A key
statement spoken by our detective. I am trying to retrace
mister Benbow's trail.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Key for two reasons.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
You tell me what they are? Absolutely not. Why should
anyone want to retrace mister Benbow's trail.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Mister Fairchild is being.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Tried with his murder and is well on his way,
don't convict him. Second, the detective didn't say we are
trying to retrace the trailer. He said, I am trying.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What does that suggest?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Once again, my dear, you will have to tell me
Lieutenant Kramer is operating in a lone wolf and very.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Likely unofficial capacity.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Occasionally get a policeman who is dissatisfied with the way
the department has handled the case and he has to
be done about it. Hello, Yes, just a minute, it's
for you, Julian, Thank you, Harry, here's curious or never
mind that we're here now? Who Yes, when I see
(34:53):
we'll stand by. I'll have something for you later. Very interesting. Julius,
as you know, has been watching the house well. Last
evening he saw a man whom he recognizes a police detective,
pull over to the curb and start to talk with
a woman who works in the building.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Missus Munson.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Munson at any rate, Julia saw her get into the
detective's car and drive off. Now we have something to
think about. A detective talks to a woman in this building,
and the next day he comes here to talk to
me about the Benbo murder, which should be as far
as waitingserned a datish room. I got it. She told
(35:37):
him Benbo was here.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I would see now what she might have seen him. Yes,
and we're in trouble.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Anything Julius can handle.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Julius can always handle it.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
As a last result. Why not as the first thing? Off?
Because of simply can't murder people the way you swat
from Why not both of them?
Speaker 4 (35:59):
The end of them now, Jonathan, before I can grow
and develop, do yourself said, the cop is free landing.
I means his boss doesn't know what he's up to,
and that day, who'll miss her?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
It's certainly tempting, except we can't be sure.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Jonathan, did you know how much money is involved here?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I was the one who determined the amount.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Because we've almost got it by nothing must go wrong now.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
So.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
You'll buy her off, buy her home, you know, always
get rid of her later. What about the cop? So
he doesn't know what it's all.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
About anyway, he's just a cop, They bother us.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
We can buy him off, or as they say, bump
him offett. Yeah, oh, oh, it's missus munster.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
I'm sorry to disturb you.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
The man.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
Yes, I noticed him hanging around nine to eleven all
the time this morning as I left to go to
work at nine to eleven, I caught a drink of him.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Hanging around my apartment house.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Is sure, Yes, I'm positive he was in a part card.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
When I left for the bus stop, he followed me
and he parked across the street as I waited for
the bus. Then when I got on the.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Bus, he followed the bus. I got rid of him.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I waited for a red life and the bus arrived.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
At the tentroal Plaza.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
You know how sad of it is there, And I
ran off the bus and around the corner that's the
one way street, and I asking right here, lieutenant, why
am I being followed?
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Well, it could be your imagination.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Oh no, I saw the man distinkly.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Can't you describe him?
Speaker 5 (37:43):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Sure, Billy stout ron a broken nose. Wait a minute,
wait a minute, at shock, Lieuturnt Kramer. I want to
look at some pictures.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Yeah, right now, absolutely, it's the second feller.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
You sure positive? Oh yeah, I was afraid of that.
What this man is Julius Nightingale, And don't let the
name fool you.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
He's a killer. Well then why is me behind bars?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Because he could never prove it? Well, now I know what.
Ben Bow was on a routine divorced evidence's case when
suddenly he stumbled into something big, tried to get a
piece for himself, and he was killed for it. Didn't
the fair child isn't dauty. This is only a theory.
(38:36):
But how can we turn it into a fact? Missus Mumpson,
What a pleasant surprise. I understand we're neighbors.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Well during the day.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Anyhow, I'm so happy you paid.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Us a social call. It's business. We didn't when he
come to the point.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
How much is it worked for?
Speaker 1 (39:02):
What for me to keep my mouth shut? Should I
pay you anything to keep your mouth up?
Speaker 4 (39:07):
I was a very good friend of mister Benbow.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
What said to me?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
He was here the night before he died, and you
denied it. I try and come up, so he told
me everything.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
What are you bad on? You? Really? I suppose you
tell that to me, Carlous.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
You know what we have to do. Don't say another word.
That's what she's here for.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
The foolish and the same something that police probably have
a wired of a word in this room is being taped.
Oh yes, oh so you see missus Munsoon.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I'm afraid you are to stretch him favor.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yes, yes, here's the time. I've got a knock her
heart up, tring to shut up.
Speaker 2 (39:52):

Speaker 1 (39:54):
I don't want to knock off before you can stand us.
I set up, Julius.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Don't get your right before you've got caught.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
What service name?
Speaker 6 (40:01):
Huh ah?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
He's welcome for you, I said, I come up here.
I'm not a prayer of your How.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Am I doing?
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Please?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Been set up by the police. She's got to have
a hidden microphone or recorder on herself, so shut up?
That's right? Or is shut up?
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Show me the police.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
We got men all around the building.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Written lu turned into.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
All talk privately in jail. It is exactly four million
dollars in the world here. Now this would be enough
for you. Why don't you just tell that to the jet?
But I will be international ramification. Tell that to the jet.
We jeopardize the security of our country. I think our
(40:49):
country is more secure with you behind barns. Oh, it
probably is, as you can surmise, mister Carlis was an
international fixer who corrupted government officials both here and abroad.
(41:10):
He would have been free to this day had not
a rather CD private investigator blundered into the secret. That's
that's how it goes so often. It's the little things.
For want of an air, the kingdom was lost for
one of 'em. No, well, there'll be no want of me.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I shall return shortly. It is a magic moment.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
You are at your buick dealers about to drive home
and your brand new buick less saver. It's lean and trim,
classic line. It looks quite unlike any full size buick
you can remember. You get in a heavy new car.
Smell surrounds you will a saber feels the way it looks.
Might you turn to wheel a little? No wasted motion
(41:53):
in this car, big rush, metallic gauges look back at you.
That du sex agent is doing you great. You're up
your hand on the seat. Six people could be really
comfortable in here.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
You're swinging in your driveway.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Your wife, the kids, the dog, everyone with the parakeet
descends on the car and gets it alf you go,
But nowhere in particular, life and your number saber are great.
Maybe the dog shouldn't sit on the seat. I suppose
(42:46):
the real thing we're talking about is serendipity. You know,
you start to go somewhere, and you get distracted and
wind up somewhere else. Like Columbus, He started about to
find a passage.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
To India and thereby discovered American.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
In serendipity a hand to mouth, the investigator is satisfied
to work for crumbs and suddenly stumbled on a bank.
Speaker 6 (43:17):
Unfortunately it kills him.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Our cast included Robert Dryden, Bill Griffis, Earl Hammond, Briana
Rayburn and Joan Shay. The entire production was under the
direction of Pymond Brown and now a preview of our
(44:08):
next tale.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
I am here tonight.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
Every day got toward you that you have yet a
hope of escaping my faith.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
You were always a good friend. Thankie. You will be auted.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
By free speed. That is the hope you mentioned. It is.
I think I'd rather not without help visits. You have
no hope but the shudden the path I tread. Expect
the first tomorrow when the bell tolds what, But couldn't
(44:46):
I take them all at once and have it over.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Expect the second on the next night at the same hour.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
But for it when the last stroke of twelve has
ceased to vibrate.
Speaker 6 (44:59):
On your man.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Blu Rock Radio Mystery.
