Now what is all this business you have to talk

You see, Ed and I both work for the a
cream manufacturing company.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yes, yes, I know, but but you don't know this.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Nobody knows this but me.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
That's why Ed tried to kill me by running me

Speaker 1 (07:00):
What's that you say, your brother Ed was the one
who rang it down on No, come come, mister Rogers.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You don't really mean.

I saw the car just before it hit me. I
know it was Ed's.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
He he tried.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
To kill me because I I know he's embezzled thousands
of dollars from the company we worked for. I I
I was on my way to the police. After that,
I told Ed I could prove everything. That's why he
tried to kill me before I could get to them.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
You can prove your brothers an embezzling.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Yes, yes, the the phony checks are made out in
payment of false invoices in the Age Ladimer company which
doesn't even exist.
Speaker 8 (07:41):

Checks are cashed at the the Harrington Bank.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Isn't that proof?
Speaker 6 (07:49):
I I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Well, if what you say is true, it certainly is.
Speaker 1 (07:53):

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yes, very I think he's gonna be all right now.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
Uh you gave him the hypodermic.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Yes, he should be sleeping about ten or fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Oh that's fine, And miss Wesley, mister Rogers here will
pay you for your services.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I don't think we'll need you anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You you you.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Don't need me anymore.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
The patient seems.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Completely out of danger. And now thank you very much
for your troubles, miss Wesley, and goodbye.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
It's likely, I tell you, there's something very strange going
on in that house.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
Oh now, Mary, what are you trying to do? Stir
up excitement?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Oh Blackie, please believe me.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
I've never been on.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
A case that with those strange The room in that
house was fixed to look like a hospital room, ag
exactly like one, even to the color of the walls,
and the curtains on the and uh the floor and
and all the hospital room equipment.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
So maybe there used to be an invalid in the house.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
All right, maybe there was, But you don't fix up
a room to look like a hospital room for an invalid.
You want the room to la coma.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Mm.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
You may have something there that well, maybe they wanted
your patient to think he was.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Still in the hospital.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Well I guess that must be it. But what about
the way doctor Jones let me go just after I
gave the hypodermic to the patient. I've never been discharged
from a case so abruptly in all my life.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
You gave the patient of hypodermic and on the doctor
discharge it just like that, not.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Two minutes after I gave the hyphol just like that.
Oh black it that just isn't done. Please, please, let's
go down there and see if everything is all right.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Well, I think you've being unduly suspicious, Mary, but it
will make you feel any that. I will go down
there and see what's what. But when we find out
everything's all right, I want you to remember something what
Please don't think every case for you as the possible
making of a case for me.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Lad, I guess we can pat ourselves in the back.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
It's your cands han uh Uh, doctor Jones to you.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Oh no, no, that's the end of that.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I uh won't be needing your service any longer, and
I don't think that my dear brother will either. We
worked this out rather cleverly. I think, uh that embezzlement can't.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Positively be trace for you in any way.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Now now, Sam, I'm unclear.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
My only link to what's happened is uh you huh,
And you've been paid. Then I suppose you get out
of here and uh get lost. Here's a house.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Lacky ken eaton Boulevard.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Somehows Mary Rogers must have a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Well, it sure must have dritten by what Ed Rogers
paid me for one night's sue.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
What come on, let's go see if that'ctation is.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
You're alright, I'll guarantee is.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I think I'll get out yourself.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
I hope you're right.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I know I am.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
You've just been around me so long that you're starting
to look for trouble too.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Maybe he wasn't lying up there in the driveway.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
But I don't know, but it looks like you're married.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's a man.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Come on, a man, Plagie.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Look look at third story up there, a windows.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Open, and look at this man here, Mary.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
It was as if he's fallen at least three stories.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Look he dead, isn't he very?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You know who he was that's back here?
Speaker 8 (12:32):
I do.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
It was Bill Rogers, the patience I was worried about.
And you said that nothing was going to happen here.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Brety, Yes, And I was right. Nothing is going to
happen here, Mary, it already has.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
And now back to Boston Blackie. In addition to being
Boston Blackie's best friend, Mary Wesley is a registered nurse.
As such, she is called in on a case in
a private home. The patient injured when hit by an automobile,
speaks privately to a man he thinks as his doctor
(13:15):
and reveals that his brother is a swindler. When Mary
is released from duty, suddenly she becomes suspicious and returns
to the home with Boston Blackie, only to find the
patient dead from a suicide leap out the window. As
we return to our story, Blackie is an inspector. Faraday
is off.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
I'd tell you, Paraday, Bill Rogers didn't commit suicide.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
He was murdered.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
So he was murdered.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That's what makes you think?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
So I just think so, that's all.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
Mary was the nurse on that case, and she's convinced
there was something very wrong going on there.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, I suppose she was there when Rogers was murdered.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
She left the case at nine o'clock this morning, nine o'clock.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Then what makes her think Rogers was murdered?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
According to the carna's report, Rogers didn't die until almost
one o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Oh even I know that.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
And I found his body just a little answer one
I could tell it. He'd been dead only a few minutes.
But I still say it wasn't suicide.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It wasn't Hyle.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Well, suppose I show you a suicide note.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You can't do it because there can't be one.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Why not because according to what Mary tells me, the
guy was in good spirits when she saw him last,
and he had no reason to kill himself.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Where if what you say is true, maybe it is
murder after all.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Then you'll investigate Roger's brother and that doctor Jones Mary
told me about.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You think they killed him, I'm black he Maybe.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
They were still in the house with Rogers when Mary left.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I think they ought to be questioned.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Where if you think they ought to be questioned, I
out a question them.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
I guess are they what's going on here? You're too
agreeable this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And I well, I have something here that isn't going
to be so agreeable. You know, Bill Rogers didn't kill
himself because there's no suicide note.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Well, what do you call this a love letter?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
What is it a statement admitting he embezzled money from
the acre manufacturing company, ending with the sentence.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
There's nothing to do now but chill myself. And it's
signed by William or what?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Let me see that?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Go ahead, look at it.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I'm looking at it. Well, how do you know this
is Bill Rogers's signature.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Because we checked on it. Man it is.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
Oh so Bill Rogers. Well guess he did kill himself
after all.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Come on, so you course you could tell us up
about this case.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Huh? Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And I still think so.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
And what's more, I'm gonna prove it.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Tell us Sam ed your fool.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I thought weren't supposed to see each other again? What
are you doing here at my home?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
This is important, Sam, So when somebody come here, that
part's all right?
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Everything's all right, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Girl, brothers dead. He signed a confession against himself instead
of a statement against you. And there's one flaw in
our plan, one thing wrong with it that can send
that's the prison for murder.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
One flaw, one flaw. What you ought to know?
Speaker 7 (15:57):
What?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Just think a minute? Yeah, yes, you're right it, you're right,
of course, I'm right.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
That's stupid of us, wasn't it?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
But no one will ever know about it?
Speaker 7 (16:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
What about miss Wesley? If she's any kind of a nurse,
she'll find the hole in our plan? Yes, yes, I
guess you're right, Sam.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Who your bonny?
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Our friend Miss Wesley?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I think we'd better bring her down here and have
a little talk with her and find out what she knows.
Huh yes, and see that she doesn't tell anyone what
that is.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Our friend, doctor Wallace is back in town now. I've
checked with the hospital. I wanna try and imitate his
voice in aw m.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Miss Wesley.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, Miss Wesley, this is doctor Wallace.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Oh, hello, doctor Wallace.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I got to Rodi Hall. I just got back Miss Wesley,
and I have a case for you this evening.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
It's an emergency.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Oh, doctor rather not.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I'm sorry, Miss Wesley.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
This is urgent.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
It's at nineteen nineteen Downy Street.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
The name is Adams. Now, how how soon can you
be here?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Alright?
Speaker 1 (16:48):

Speaker 7 (17:01):
Then?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
What are we going to do?
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Well?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It was a simple matter to throw your brother out
of an upstairs window when he was asleep. It should
be easier to do the same thing to miss Wesley.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
She isn't even a relative, give me mean Harry taking
good care of miss Wesley's bullying these days?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Hi sure, Blackie the tay Miss Wesley isn't.

We have a date for seven thirty this evening.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I know she tried to phone you, but you were out,
so she told me to tell you that when she
got here. See tell me why she's been called out
on another case for Dr Wallace. She says you could
reach her at nineteen nineteen down me straight that you
wanted to talk to her.
Speaker 8 (17:48):
Another case for doctor Wallace. Yeah, something crazy going on here,
Doctor Wallace. Doesn't he use marry more than twice a
year and then all of a sudden he uses it
twice and twenty four hours. Look, I'm gonna use the
phone in.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Your lobby, right, go right Aheadlackie, goright ahead, and watch
my car for me. Oh, you're living in good hand, Blackie.

I'm kidding?
Speaker 8 (18:13):
Hm, Mum, doctor Wallace speaking.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Hello, that's Wallace. This is Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Well, hello, Blackie, and how's that lovely missus Wesley? These
days you.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Were no doctor You're keeping it pretty busy all of

You haven't called Mary on two cases in the last
twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh no, of course not.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
Look doctor, I have a hunch about something. Maybe you
can clear it up. Mary gave a patient a hypo
to put him to sleep a nine o'clock this morning.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
How long would that drug keep him out?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Well, if it was the drug normally given in cases
like that, the hypodermic would have kept him asleep for
the leaf school six day.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Dollars, six to eight hours. Thanks doctor Wallace, Thanks a lot.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Goodbye already. You better be in your office this time.
You've just got to be. You've got to listen to
me too, Friday. This is Blackie.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh hell, Blackie, are you make any more wrong guesses today?
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Look, Friday, never mind the funny stuff. Listen to me
and listen fast. I've got absolute proof now that Bill
Rogers was murdered.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
What that again?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yes? That again? Never mind?
Speaker 7 (19:31):
How I know.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
All I want you to do is to get to
nineteen nineteen Downy Street with a police car fast. Mary's
in trouble. Get there as fast as you can. I'm
closer than you and I'm leaving now. But you hurry too,

Just call his office and he'll he know what and
he won't do anything if he's doing what I asked

Speaker 3 (20:51):

Speaker 7 (20:53):
Oh, he's not in his office.
Speaker 1 (20:55):

Speaker 8 (20:57):

Speaker 7 (21:15):
Well?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Miss Wesley again.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
What a surprise, Doctor Noons again, this is indeed a saprie.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Well, not too much, Miss Wesley, I handle a great
maney of doctor Wallace's cases. I'm thank you.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Where is the patient?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Well, we'll see him in a moment, Miss Wesley.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
I I've been thinking about the Rogers case.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I I've been wondering if you were aware of anything
unusual about it?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Well, yes, in a way I was, but uh nothing
nothing specific.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
You uh don't think Bill Rogers killed himself?
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Well?
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Uh the police beem satisfied.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
And Blackie, Oh yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Your your friend Blackie. You told him all about it?
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I imagine, Oh yes I did.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Did you uh tell Blackie that you administer the hypode
of the patient at uh nine o'clock.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
In the Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Well, now, UH think a minute, Miss Wesley.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
You uh know something about.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Drugs, don't you well enough to admit it to them?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Well, then, Miss Wesley, you uh ought to realize something,
well I should what you administered the drug at nine o'clock?
Bill Rogers, an injured man supposed to be asleep, climbed
two stories and threw himself out of a third story
window at one o'clock four hours later.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Is that possible?
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I know, of course it didn't, Doctor Jones. Mister Rogers
wasn't there that he'd have to be. He was asleep
when he died. Look, we we've got to tell a
police right away.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
No, I I don't think we ought to do that,
Miss Wesley. Why not if you'd pushed Bill Rogers out
the window?
Speaker 8 (22:42):
Would you wanna tell the police if I.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
You killed mister Rogers didn't say yes.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
But you won't be talking to the police because well,
you recognize the hypodermic needle when you see one. I'm sure,
and this one can take the same drug. We can't phil.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
For you, whoever you are.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Look, manager, know who I am, Miss Wesley?

house was fixed to look like a hospital room, ag
exactly like one, even to the color of the walls,
and the curtains on the and uh the floor and
and all the hospital room equipment.

So maybe there used to be an invalid in the house.

You want the room to la coma.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Mm.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
You may have something there that well, maybe they wanted
your patient to think he was.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Still in the hospital.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Well I guess that must be it. But what about
the way doctor Jones let me go just after I
gave the hypodermic to the patient. I've never been discharged
from a case so abruptly in all my life.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
You gave the patient of hypodermic and on the doctor
discharge it just like that, not.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Two minutes after I gave the hyphol just like that.
Oh black it that just isn't done. Please, please, let's
go down there and see if everything is all right.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Well, I think you've being unduly suspicious, Mary, but it
will make you feel any that. I will go down
there and see what's what. But when we find out
everything's all right, I want you to remember something what
Please don't think every case for you as the possible
making of a case for me.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Lad, I guess we can pat ourselves in the back.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
It's your cands han uh Uh, doctor Jones to you.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Oh no, no, that's the end of that.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I uh won't be needing your service any longer, and
I don't think that my dear brother will either. We
worked this out rather cleverly. I think, uh that embezzlement can't.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Positively be trace for you in any way.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Now now, Sam, I'm unclear.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
My only link to what's happened is uh you huh,
And you've been paid. Then I suppose you get out
of here and uh get lost. Here's a house.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Lacky ken eaton Boulevard.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Somehows Mary Rogers must have a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Well, it sure must have dritten by what Ed Rogers
paid me for one night's sue.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
What come on, let's go see if that'ctation is.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
You're alright, I'll guarantee is.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I think I'll get out yourself.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
I hope you're right.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I know I am.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
You've just been around me so long that you're starting
to look for trouble too.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Maybe he wasn't lying up there in the driveway.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
But I don't know, but it looks like you're married.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's a man.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Come on, a man, Plagie.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Look look at third story up there, a windows.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Open, and look at this man here, Mary.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
It was as if he's fallen at least three stories.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Look he dead, isn't he very?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You know who he was that's back here?
Speaker 8 (12:32):
I do.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
It was Bill Rogers, the patience I was worried about.
And you said that nothing was going to happen here.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Brety, Yes, And I was right. Nothing is going to
happen here, Mary, it already has.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
And now back to Boston Blackie. In addition to being
Boston Blackie's best friend, Mary Wesley is a registered nurse.
As such, she is called in on a case in
a private home. The patient injured when hit by an automobile,
speaks privately to a man he thinks as his doctor
(13:15):
and reveals that his brother is a swindler. When Mary
is released from duty, suddenly she becomes suspicious and returns
to the home with Boston Blackie, only to find the
patient dead from a suicide leap out the window. As
we return to our story, Blackie is an inspector. Faraday
is off.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
I'd tell you, Paraday, Bill Rogers didn't commit suicide.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
He was murdered.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
So he was murdered.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That's what makes you think?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
So I just think so, that's all.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
Mary was the nurse on that case, and she's convinced
there was something very wrong going on there.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, I suppose she was there when Rogers was murdered.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
She left the case at nine o'clock this morning, nine o'clock.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Then what makes her think Rogers was murdered?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
According to the carna's report, Rogers didn't die until almost
one o'clock this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Oh even I know that.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
And I found his body just a little answer one
I could tell it. He'd been dead only a few minutes.
But I still say it wasn't suicide.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It wasn't Hyle.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Well, suppose I show you a suicide note.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You can't do it because there can't be one.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Why not because according to what Mary tells me, the
guy was in good spirits when she saw him last,
and he had no reason to kill himself.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Where if what you say is true, maybe it is
murder after all.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Then you'll investigate Roger's brother and that doctor Jones Mary
told me about.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You think they killed him, I'm black he Maybe.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
They were still in the house with Rogers when Mary left.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I think they ought to be questioned.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Where if you think they ought to be questioned, I
out a question them.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
I guess are they what's going on here? You're too
agreeable this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And I well, I have something here that isn't going
to be so agreeable. You know, Bill Rogers didn't kill
himself because there's no suicide note.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Well, what do you call this a love letter?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
What is it a statement admitting he embezzled money from
the acre manufacturing company, ending with the sentence.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
There's nothing to do now but chill myself. And it's
signed by William or what?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Let me see that?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Go ahead, look at it.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I'm looking at it. Well, how do you know this
is Bill Rogers's signature.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Because we checked on it. Man it is.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
Oh so Bill Rogers. Well guess he did kill himself
after all.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Come on, so you course you could tell us up
about this case.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Huh? Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And I still think so.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
And what's more, I'm gonna prove it.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Tell us Sam ed your fool.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I thought weren't supposed to see each other again? What
are you doing here at my home?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
This is important, Sam, So when somebody come here, that
part's all right?
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Everything's all right, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Girl, brothers dead. He signed a confession against himself instead
of a statement against you. And there's one flaw in
our plan, one thing wrong with it that can send
that's the prison for murder.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
One flaw, one flaw. What you ought to know?
Speaker 7 (15:57):
What?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Just think a minute? Yeah, yes, you're right it, you're right,
of course, I'm right.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
That's stupid of us, wasn't it?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
But no one will ever know about it?
Speaker 7 (16:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
What about miss Wesley? If she's any kind of a nurse,
she'll find the hole in our plan? Yes, yes, I
guess you're right, Sam.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Who your bonny?
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Our friend Miss Wesley?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I think we'd better bring her down here and have
a little talk with her and find out what she knows.
Huh yes, and see that she doesn't tell anyone what
that is.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Our friend, doctor Wallace is back in town now. I've
checked with the hospital. I wanna try and imitate his
voice in aw m.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Miss Wesley.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, Miss Wesley, this is doctor Wallace.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Oh, hello, doctor Wallace.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I got to Rodi Hall. I just got back Miss Wesley,
and I have a case for you this evening.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
It's an emergency.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Oh, doctor rather not.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
I'm sorry, Miss Wesley.
Speaker 3 (16:42):

Speaker 4 (16:59):
He's coming here. Fine, But then what what are we
gonna do?
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Then?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
What are we going to do?
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Well?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It was a simple matter to throw your brother out
of an upstairs window when he was asleep. It should
be easier to do the same thing to miss Wesley.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
She isn't even a relative, give me mean Harry taking
good care of miss Wesley's bullying these days?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Hi sure, Blackie the tay Miss Wesley isn't.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
In this evening, isn't men?
Speaker 8 (17:32):
Nah, she's got to be.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
We have a date for seven thirty this evening.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I know she tried to phone you, but you were out,
so she told me to tell you that when she
got here. See tell me why she's been called out
on another case for Dr Wallace. She says you could
reach her at nineteen nineteen down me straight that you
wanted to talk to her.
Speaker 8 (17:48):
Another case for doctor Wallace. Yeah, something crazy going on here,
Doctor Wallace. Doesn't he use marry more than twice a
year and then all of a sudden he uses it
twice and twenty four hours. Look, I'm gonna use the
phone in.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Your lobby, right, go right Aheadlackie, goright ahead, and watch
my car for me. Oh, you're living in good hand, Blackie.
Don't worry, don't right good where it is?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I'm kidding?
Speaker 8 (18:13):
Hm, Mum, doctor Wallace speaking.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Hello, that's Wallace. This is Boston, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Well, hello, Blackie, and how's that lovely missus Wesley? These
days you.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Were no doctor You're keeping it pretty busy all of
a sudden. What's the idea I'm keeping.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
A busy Blackie.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Why I haven't seen.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Her for a long time.
Speaker 8 (18:36):
You haven't called Mary on two cases in the last
twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh no, of course not.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
Look doctor, I have a hunch about something. Maybe you
can clear it up. Mary gave a patient a hypo
to put him to sleep a nine o'clock this morning.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
How long would that drug keep him out?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Well, if it was the drug normally given in cases
like that, the hypodermic would have kept him asleep for
the leaf school six day.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Dollars, six to eight hours. Thanks doctor Wallace, Thanks a lot.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Goodbye already. You better be in your office this time.
You've just got to be. You've got to listen to
me too, Friday. This is Blackie.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh hell, Blackie, are you make any more wrong guesses today?
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Look, Friday, never mind the funny stuff. Listen to me
and listen fast. I've got absolute proof now that Bill
Rogers was murdered.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
What that again?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yes? That again? Never mind?
Speaker 7 (19:31):
How I know.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
All I want you to do is to get to
nineteen nineteen Downy Street with a police car fast. Mary's
in trouble. Get there as fast as you can. I'm
closer than you and I'm leaving now. But you hurry too,
will you?
Speaker 1 (19:41):

Speaker 1 (19:43):
But if this is not only your tricks, so help me.
Speaker 8 (19:45):

I've got to get somewhere. Fah, yeah, that's what they
all say. But I'll tell you this is important. Let
me go and then check with Inspector Paraday. He'll tell
you all about it.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Oh oh, check with Inspector Paraday, shall I. I've heard
a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
About you and the inspector and it hasn't been good.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Well this time, it's all right.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Just call his office and he'll he know what and
he won't do anything if he's doing what I asked
him to do.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
He's not in his office.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Oh, he's not in his office.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Is he.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
Well, now, isn't that too bad?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Because you're going to stay right.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Here with me until he is.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Well?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Miss Wesley again.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
What a surprise, Doctor Noons again, this is indeed a saprie.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Well, not too much, Miss Wesley, I handle a great
maney of doctor Wallace's cases. I'm thank you.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Where is the patient?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Well, we'll see him in a moment, Miss Wesley.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
I I've been thinking about the Rogers case.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I I've been wondering if you were aware of anything
unusual about it?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Well, yes, in a way I was, but uh nothing
nothing specific.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
You uh don't think Bill Rogers killed himself?
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Well?
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Uh the police beem satisfied.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
And Blackie, Oh yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Your your friend Blackie. You told him all about it?
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I imagine, Oh yes I did.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Did you uh tell Blackie that you administer the hypode
of the patient at uh nine o'clock.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
In the Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Well, now, UH think a minute, Miss Wesley.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
You uh know something about.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Drugs, don't you well enough to admit it to them?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Well, then, Miss Wesley, you uh ought to realize something,
well I should what you administered the drug at nine o'clock?
Bill Rogers, an injured man supposed to be asleep, climbed
two stories and threw himself out of a third story
window at one o'clock four hours later.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Is that possible?
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I know, of course it didn't, Doctor Jones. Mister Rogers
wasn't there that he'd have to be. He was asleep
when he died. Look, we we've got to tell a
police right away.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
No, I I don't think we ought to do that,
Miss Wesley. Why not if you'd pushed Bill Rogers out
the window?
Speaker 8 (22:42):
Would you wanna tell the police if I.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
You killed mister Rogers didn't say yes.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
But you won't be talking to the police because well,
you recognize the hypodermic needle when you see one. I'm sure,
and this one can take the same drug. We can't phil.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
For you, whoever you are.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Look, manager, know who I am, Miss Wesley?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Yes, I do your your head, Roger, the.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Shield go out and I've got Wisley.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Don't struggle that way. It won't too many good.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I don't think they will.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Marry Lady, call you guys.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And just stand right where you are till a few
of my friends get here.
Speaker 8 (23:25):

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Good shooting, officer, I'll get his gun. See that, you
do that, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Well, I keep an eye and my gun on these
two bombs.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Why don't you relax. I'm not gonna move.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Here's our friend's gun.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
