portly dignified and respected, walks through the huge bronze doors
of the Colby Trust Company and crosses to the curb
where a uniform chauffeur opens the door.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Of his limousine.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I won't meet the car, just YF Marvin.

I think I walk a.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Few mutch before going home. Yes, mister Colby, don't close
the car door. Yes, sir, I want to get in
for a moment to take off my shoes. I'd beg pardon, sir,
to take off my shoes.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
It's such a fine day, I think.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I walked there for mister Colby ball forham Park Avenue. Yes,
good idea, isn't it. I can't imagine why I never
thought of it before.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
But Arthur, why did you do such a thing? You know,
of all.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
People, you I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I can't even remember it. It was like waiting from
a sound sleep to find myself in the street crowds laughing.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
At me, and you blame them, did you quick?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yes, sister dear In that newspaper photographer, I tried to
smash his camera and you only succeeded in giving him
a better.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Picture that I need to hope for.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It's on the front page of every time Bloyd in town.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Don't remind me of you with.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Your Homburg happ five trousers and bear Sothie's swinging that
goldheaded cane at the camera.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Here, Please don't get excited. We'll all forget that it
ever happened.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Why don't you relax? Oh here, have a cigarette, one
of those Turkish rapedies of yours, I saying, I.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Stick to my pipe.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Fis not now riches.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Aren't we sweating these days? Monogram cigarettes?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And lest yes, they're not paid for either, By the way,
could you let me have a couple of hundred long
arms stone broke ie. You're going to quick sponging on
your sister where how if you make me a decent allowance,
it wouldn't be necessary.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
W should use to be explained.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I haven't done a great deal for you, I know,
and he never let me forget it. If you don't
like living in my hol but I do.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I do.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's very convenient to have a sister with a red husband,
even though he is a bit eccentric. I am not
extended why I was trying to be polite. Most people
would have said, bombing kid, that's enough. Well, it's not
as if this were the first crazy thing he'd done.
How about the way he hides things all over the
house and the time you put the gold fish in
the wall safe. If that isn't the sign of something
(03:11):
not quite out of here, get out of here very well,
although you have better watch out this or you may
wake up some morning with your throat cut.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Wait now, I don't do any attention to him.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Maybe he's right. Perhaps I am losing my mind.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You're only tired and nervous.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So what if during one of these mental blackouts. I
should harm you.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Don't even think about it. Tomorrow we'll see doctor Henderson's morning.
Oh so, what's the matter.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
There's something in this human doors, something buried in the tobacco, buried.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
In the tobacco.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Okay, it's my watch that when I lost two days ago.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Well, maybe you didn't put it there, darling, Chi tell
you a joke on No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You can't there myself?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I remember now? What?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Awfu? Why I don't know?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Everyone to help me, Lorna, I don't know. I should
like to buy a knife.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Is it a kitchen knife?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I believe so, Yes, a kitchen knife should do nice?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
What kinds are?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
What kind is pairing knife? Put your knife?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Carving knives, butcher knife? Yes, large?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But your knife of course?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now he has them a daious price. A price doesn't matter,
just so it has a sharp edge, a very sharp edge.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
See it's for my wife.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Mm And that was a knife they found under your pillar,
mister Gobey.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yes, I don't remember putting it there. I don't even
remember buying it.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
And you want me to protect your wife against what
you might do in the future, mister.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Coby, Oh no, I told you all this cutter, so
that you'd understand the circumstances. What I want you to
do is find the sum of money I mislaid during
another of these spells. Oh how much money?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Twenty thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, now got a bundle? Why did you lose it yesterday?
Tell her if my bank said I drew a personal
check for twenty thousand at about two thirty, and did
you I examined the check this morning.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's nice sick to two, all right, but you don't
remember signing it.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I don't remember anything from about two o'clock until I
arrived home at five. Go on the bank, God show
me leave the building at three.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But when I went to what I did I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And you don't know whether you were robbed or lost
the money or gave it away and we were explained.
I think that I hid it somewhere.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I do hide things lately.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Well, I'll see what I can do. Frankly, I think
there's only one thing that'll get your money back.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Let's the blocks.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Mister Colby just playing sheer luck.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's ei.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
There's something wrong with Colby's story somewhere.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
What do you mean wrong?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And ran true? I'm no a psychiatrist, o course, But
I've always understood these mental cases, found it a definite pattern. Well,
the pattern isn't right. Up until now, he's been hiding
little things about the house.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Twenty thousand dollars isn't a little thing, not in my
dictionary or mine.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But he didn't hide it in the house this time either. Yeah,
that's one thing. And this business of buying a knife
and hiding it completely outside the pattern.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Do you think he's lying?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well, it certainly doesn't make any sense that he should
try to railroad himself into an asylum unless unless, what
unless he's planning something big and oh, this is just
a build up so that he can play temporary insanity.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
He means something like murder, Well could.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Be You have a name of Klobe's cancers.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Yes, it's doctor Miles Henderson. He has an office in
his home out in Eastfield.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Try to get me in a former of doctor Henrison.
Let's find out whether he thinks Kobe might be faking.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Okay, Oh, and ask him to have.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Missus Kobe there too, Worria.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Perhaps she can tell us how her husband acts during
these so called periods of forgetfulness.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Why did you ask me mister Carter has also done
anything violent.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh no, no, no, missus Kobe, nothing like that. Yes,
and just what is this all about? I'm coming to that,
doctor Henderson. You see, mister Koby had retained me to
recover some money he thinks he's hidden and forgotten about.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
That's so.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
How much money?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Twenty thousand dollars quity thousand? Yes, he said he threw
it out of the bank during a period of amnesia
yesterday afternoon, and he didn't have it when he got home.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Why you're going to face something, Missus Coobe.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I no, no, I was surprised.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That's all you shouldn't see. I warned you that his
condition was getting word. We were a cigar mister Cousy. I, oh, no,
thank you. I believe I will the rare a large
knife to use as a cigar cutter. Ooh, I don't
think sorry, picked it up in the Orient several years ago.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh I see, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Uh, Doctor Henderson, you've been treating mister Koby for some time,
haven't you?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Only about two months?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
At first he complained of headaches, and that's in mindedness.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
He began to find his personal belongings in odd places.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There's no recollection of putting them there. Well, how about
these periods of amnesia? They started three weeks ago, and
they're getting progressively worse. At first he did silly things,
but now his actions are becoming more ominous. That's desying
that butcher knife and hiding it.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Under the pillow. You mean exactly for her own safety.
I've been trying to play this corby that her.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Husband should be placed in an institution, and I.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Can't believe that's necessary. I won't believe it.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Not until until it's too late.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Richard keep sent me about it too, until sometimes I
think I'll go mad.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Andrew's Richard, my younger brother.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
He lives with us.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Well, I'm afraid Richard's right.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
He isn't right.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
You know what he's thinking of? Doctor None's just a winner,
just the man.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I'm afraid I don't follow you.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I love my brother, mister Darter, but I know it's false.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
He thinks if Arthur were in an asylum, I'd control
Artur's money.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I see huh. Tell me, doctor Henderson, have you ever
observed a case it's quite like mister Colby's before.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
In my own experience.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
No, but the pattern of behaviors it's not really unusual.
That's what I was really wondering about up to this point.
Mister Colby's condition corresponds exactly to that as a French
editor described by a doctor bill Helm Schweiger in his
book Psychopathic Phenomena and Aberrations, or as other case, did
it start and develop in the same way that by
(10:25):
that they are exactly similar.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
That's why I'm so positive mister.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Colby should be confined fine or happened to the French
editor he murdered his best friend?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Did you find that anything from your conversation with doctor
Henderson yesterday, Max, That's.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Enough to make me even more curious. That's why you
wanted to get me a book. It's called Psychopathic Phenomena
and Aberrations by ad Sir Wilhelm Schweiger.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Think.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
I'm sorry, but I can't find that book you asked for.
I've called every publisher and books there are in town.
Nobody ever heard of it. I don't think there is
such a book.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
M In that case, that'sy get me the County Medical Association.
I see.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Thank you very much, doctor Wilson.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
What are you saying is right?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
There is no such book, and I never was a
doctor Wilhelm Scheider. Well, I don't know that the Medical
Association has no record of any such person as doctor
Miles Henderson's.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Harder. You've got to help. Something terrible has happened, So.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I can't not too late to stop.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You asked, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's only tell me that you've had another period of
temporary insanity.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Aren't here last night?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I started to my club about eight, and I don't
remember anymore until I awakened in my own room this morning.
And during this so called period of forgetfulness, what did
you do?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Murder?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I so no, Thank Heaven. Lorna is all right.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But what I found in my pocket this morning? Right,
that's doctor Henderson's paper knife. I saw it on his
desk yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yes, I must have been there last night.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And these friends in the night, they're blood. That's what
I've been covering.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I'm afraid I.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Killed the doctor.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, instead of being part of Kolbe's planned to cover
up a murder, the false doctor Miles Henderson, it appears,
has himself become Colby's victims. We'll see what happens next
in just a moment. Now back to the case of
a barefoot banker. Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought you
(13:02):
by a new pulse war old Dutch cleanser. When Arthur
Colby recovered from his latest period of amnesia, he found
in his pocket a blood stained paper knife belonging to
the man who called himself doctor Miles, Henderson's psychiatrist, making
Patsy have gone to Henderson's office in his suburban home
to see what really happened. Well, passing he's been stabbed
(13:24):
or as no other sort of a wound, it strains
that Kobe doesn't have any blood stains and his clothing maybe.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
He was wearing something else last night m ansibly.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Humm, must have cost her quite a while before the
killing took place.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Huh, but makes you think?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
So? He's astra one.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
On the doctor's side of the desk, and another by
the chair sits in.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Does brother mana that what's the matter is dotty? He's
a cigarette awers? So what Kobe smokes a pipe and
a doctor smokes cigar?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Didn't you clearly cigarette jugs are aren't any No.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
At first I thought Kolby was framing an alibi. Now
I'm beginning to wonder whether someone isn't framing Colby.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
You mean Henderson might have been stabbed by someone else,
someone who smokes cigarette exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Oh, it must have been something unusual about those cigarettes. Otherwise,
why would the stubs have been taken away?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Maybe you can tell from me?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Ask you say, way, uh, there's a few shreds of tobacco.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Good.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I will take him down to the police laboratory for analysis.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Okay, is the Is there.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
Anything else to be done here?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I wanna take a look at this filing cabinet label,
take history.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
If I can get the names of some of doctor
Henderson's other.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Patients, I'll get a tend to andrite them down for you.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
That won't be necessary, passy Huh, looks as if Koby
was the only patient to take doctor head.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You mean the file of embers?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Not quite?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Look what I found here?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
What who's made a lot of money?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Certainly is I think we found out what happened to
Kolbe's twenty thousand dollars? You mean I gave the twenty
thousand dollars to doctor Henderson during my spell of amnesia.
(15:23):
I don't think it was amnesium at the Colby nor
infanity either.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
God of what are you driving in?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Tell me how did you.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Happen to start going to Henderson?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Way met him at the house one night?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Who brought him there?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Hold, it's a big party.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Many of the guests were strangers to me.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
There is friends of honors, friends of Richard, and did
go on go on?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Henderson mentioned being.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
A doctor in the psychiatrist. So I told him about the.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Headaches I'd been having.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
He suggested I come to see him the next day,
and I did. And that's when your real trouble started,
wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yes, so headaches were the first symptoms.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
He said, what kind of treatment did he give you?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The usual routine I suppote?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Had I talked about my problems and he'd explained the
hidden meetings and what I said, wasn't.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
There ever anything else?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Well?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Sometimes he give me a senative first, and he'd stopt
to me until I fell a sleepy. He said, he
relaxed me for the actual treatment. Yes, after one of
those treatments, you would pulled some ridiculous stunt, wouldn't you.
Are you trying to tell me that doctor was responsible
for the spells I've been having? Albeit he wasn't a doctor,
He was a fake what And unless I'm mistaken, the
(16:31):
reason for your peculiar actions was not insanity.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You were hypnotized.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
This is bigar answer.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
My room is directly above.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
And if anybody had taken one of these cars out
last night, you'd have heard it, wouldn't you. Marvin?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Here, sir, I did you do?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
And one of the cars was gone last night as miss.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Mister Colby took the convertible about eleven thirty and brought
it back a couple hours later.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
According to the medical examiner, that's just about the time
Henderson was killed.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
How do you know it was mister Colby?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Marvin? I know the sound of the Lewis it's quite different. Yeah,
I didn't ask about the car. How did you know
Kobe was driving it? Because it's mister Colby's personal car,
Like I didn't actually see him by, Oh, sir, that's
what I wanted to know, Thanks, Marvin. Well, what now
we're going after the house, metty or a little friendly
conversation with a killer? Isn't this rather useless? Mister Carter?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
We all know what happened.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
My brother in law killed Henderson in a fit of
temporary in Spanish. I still want to know whether anyone
left the house last night at eleven thirty? Can you
tell me, Missus Colby?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
No, I'm afraid not. My room is in the east wing,
too far away to hear the fuck.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Door about you, mister Rains eleven thirty, I was.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I'm sorry, we can't be of more help.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Will anyone have a cigarette?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Thanks?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Get you caught hair, it's bone s's a.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Rather special if you like all chichy tobacco. Yes, oh,
no thanks, I uh don't smoke. I wonder whether I
may make a phone call Missus Colby.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Well, of course, Richard will show you where the phone
is right while you're making that call.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Make I'm going to work on a Varietea of my own.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
What kind of an idea of pres haha?
Speaker 9 (18:28):
Never mind, but I may have a surprise for you.
I hope Marvin doesn't come in the garage and catch
(18:49):
me smooking around.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Mister Colby's cost You might think I'm stealing it. There
must be a mask on the cart, and if.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
There are any stubbs from those by so cigarettes and
a kind Richard smoked, it'll prove who took this car
out last night?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Can't here's the askay?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Darning it's empty going rive, my dear missus Tolby. I
I thought i'd like to watch the detectives. It were,
so I followed you.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Oh oh, well, I that is it's the detective, not me.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
I well, I just wanted to see what it felt
like to sit behind the wheel of such a beautiful car.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Do you like your It's wonderful lot By? How funny?
What's funny? Three of your mirror I can keep through
the back window perfectly. That's what ree of your mirrors are? Four,
isn't it?
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
But for mister Toby is tall.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
If he'd driven this car last night, the mirror wouldn't
be adjusted to fit.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Me get out of that car? So I was right.
It was Richard. How clever of you?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Was thorn?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
But I can't let you tell anyone what this is. Tory,
sit down my room. Food nicely done?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Hm.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
The skin isn't broken. Her hair will cover the broose.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
I'm afraid you're meddling his cause an unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Accident, my dear, So foolish to cart a motor in
a closed garage. People die that way.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
And as missus Colby closes the garage door, Patsy lies
unconscious behind the wheel of Arthur Colby's car, with the
motor running. We'll see what happens in just the moment.
Now for the conclusion of the case of a barefoot banker,
Today's adventure with Nick Carter, brought to you by a
(20:58):
new post war Oh, that's cleansing leading the motor of
the husband's car running. With Patty's slumps unconscious behind the wheel.
N Colby closes the garage door and spots toward the house.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
This moment, Missus Goby.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Oh, mister Carter, I haven't learn it for you.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
You have thought him.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I'd like to know that your brother did not kill Henderson,
but Percy my husband. No, Missus Gorby, and not your
husband reader, you killed him. I kill that sort of No,
I don't think so, and you're not leading me.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Just get missus Goby.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Let's go my arm.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You took your husband's car and went to see Henderson
late last night, didn't you. No, I didn't you called
it him about twenty thousand dollars. He told him your husband.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
And you picked up the paper night from his death
of Sam.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's not true.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
It was awful.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Who did it? Remember the blood, Missus Koby, the blood
that stayed your dress. I found that dress with a
blood stains still on it.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Oh my, I found this morning.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Thanks for the confession, Missus Colby.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Perhaps we'd better drive down to headquarters now make it official.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
It was a trick.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
You didn't know anything I did, but I had no
proof until you gave yourself away. Come on, let's go.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
No, come to the garage.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I'm going to let you drive me to headquarters. I
won't go in there, I way, Oh yes.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You will.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Quite when I opened this garage war.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Like the motor of that car running.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
Someone tell me, they say I can leave the hospital tomorrow.
Isn't that wonderful?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Wonderful?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Let you alive path for another couple of minutes in
that garage and you'd have been my late lamented secretary.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Well, I'm sure glad you came along when you did.
But tell me this, how did you know, Missus Colby
killed the doctor.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I knew because Richard smoke Turkish cigarette. But the laboratory
analysis of those resist the back of one Henderson's astray
proved that they came from the ordinary popular.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Brand and that eliminated Richard.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yes, Kolbe smoked the pipe, so he was in the clear,
So it had to be his wife.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I don't follow that news couldn't have been some completely
unknown person.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
A half with You're forgetting that the knife was found
in Kolobe's pocket, and outside of Richard or Kolby himself,
the only person who.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Could have put it there was missus Klbe.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well, yes, yes, but what was behind all this?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Disney?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So the plot to gets control of Kobe's money by
having him put him in asylum as a homicidal maniac.
That's why missus Kolbe hired Henderson, an next lordsal hypnotist
mind you, to pose as a.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Psychiatrist, and by putting Colby under hypnotic influence, Henderson could
make him do peculiar things the next day and then forget.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
All about them.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
He could and did.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
After a few incidents like that, all before witnesses, mind you,
Missus Kobe would have no trouble at all getting her
husband put away.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Is a dangerous lunatic.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
And Richard was completely innocent.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
He didn't no thing about it.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
You know, the whole scheme might have worked.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Talk if Henderson hadn't got greedy and use hypnotism to
make Colby draw that twenty thousand out of the bank
and bring it to him.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, that was a fatal error.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I should say it was made missus Colby fear you.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
So that's why she killed him.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
That was one reason.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
He also saw a perfect chance to get rid of
the only person who knew her planned and at the
same time put her husband in the asylum as a
homicidal maniac by putting the blame on him. What a
dirty frame of Oh, by the way, pastor, you get
fifty percent of the seat on this case to know
I do. Why because you caught the killer before I did,
even if you didn't know it.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Well, I hope I'll never catch another one.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Catching criminals is all.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Flay hard on the head.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
This is a neutral
God, something terrible has happened.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
So I found out too late to stop. You two,
what do you mean they're going to tell me that
you've hit another period of temporary insanity, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I don't remember what happened, but when I came out
of it, I found this nice in my pocket.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yes, I expected that those.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Stagers carters their blood. Now for the case of a
barefoot banker. Today's adventure starring Ron Clock as Nick Carter,
brought to you by a new post war all Dutch cleansing.
It's four o'clock on a Monday afternoon, and Arthur Colby,
(00:42):
portly dignified and respected, walks through the huge bronze doors
of the Colby Trust Company and crosses to the curb
where a uniform chauffeur opens the door.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Of his limousine.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I won't meet the car, just YF Marvin.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I think I walk a.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Few mutch before going home. Yes, mister Colby, don't close
the car door. Yes, sir, I want to get in
for a moment to take off my shoes. I'd beg pardon, sir,
to take off my shoes.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
It's such a fine day, I think.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I walked there for mister Colby ball forham Park Avenue. Yes,
good idea, isn't it. I can't imagine why I never
thought of it before.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
But Arthur, why did you do such a thing? You know,
of all.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
People, you I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I can't even remember it. It was like waiting from
a sound sleep to find myself in the street crowds laughing.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
At me, and you blame them, did you quick?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yes, sister dear In that newspaper photographer, I tried to
smash his camera and you only succeeded in giving him
a better.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Picture that I need to hope for.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It's on the front page of every time Bloyd in town.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Don't remind me of you with.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Your Homburg happ five trousers and bear Sothie's swinging that
goldheaded cane at the camera.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Here, Please don't get excited. We'll all forget that it
ever happened.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Why don't you relax? Oh here, have a cigarette, one
of those Turkish rapedies of yours, I saying, I.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Stick to my pipe.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Fis not now riches.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Aren't we sweating these days? Monogram cigarettes?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And lest yes, they're not paid for either, By the way,
could you let me have a couple of hundred long
arms stone broke ie. You're going to quick sponging on
your sister where how if you make me a decent allowance,
it wouldn't be necessary.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
W should use to be explained.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I haven't done a great deal for you, I know,
and he never let me forget it. If you don't
like living in my hol but I do.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I do.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's very convenient to have a sister with a red husband,
even though he is a bit eccentric. I am not
extended why I was trying to be polite. Most people
would have said, bombing kid, that's enough. Well, it's not
as if this were the first crazy thing he'd done.
How about the way he hides things all over the
house and the time you put the gold fish in
the wall safe. If that isn't the sign of something
(03:11):
not quite out of here, get out of here very well,
although you have better watch out this or you may
wake up some morning with your throat cut.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Wait now, I don't do any attention to him.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Maybe he's right. Perhaps I am losing my mind.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You're only tired and nervous.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So what if during one of these mental blackouts. I
should harm you.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Don't even think about it. Tomorrow we'll see doctor Henderson's morning.
Oh so, what's the matter.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
There's something in this human doors, something buried in the tobacco, buried.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
In the tobacco.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Okay, it's my watch that when I lost two days ago.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Well, maybe you didn't put it there, darling, Chi tell
you a joke on No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You can't there myself?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I remember now? What?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Awfu? Why I don't know?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Everyone to help me, Lorna, I don't know. I should
like to buy a knife.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Is it a kitchen knife?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I believe so, Yes, a kitchen knife should do nice?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
What kinds are?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
What kind is pairing knife? Put your knife?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Carving knives, butcher knife? Yes, large?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But your knife of course?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now he has them a daious price. A price doesn't matter,
just so it has a sharp edge, a very sharp edge.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
See it's for my wife.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Mm And that was a knife they found under your pillar,
mister Gobey.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yes, I don't remember putting it there. I don't even
remember buying it.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
And you want me to protect your wife against what
you might do in the future, mister.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Coby, Oh no, I told you all this cutter, so
that you'd understand the circumstances. What I want you to
do is find the sum of money I mislaid during
another of these spells. Oh how much money?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Twenty thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, now got a bundle? Why did you lose it yesterday?
Tell her if my bank said I drew a personal
check for twenty thousand at about two thirty, and did
you I examined the check this morning.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's nice sick to two, all right, but you don't
remember signing it.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I don't remember anything from about two o'clock until I
arrived home at five. Go on the bank, God show
me leave the building at three.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But when I went to what I did I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And you don't know whether you were robbed or lost
the money or gave it away and we were explained.
I think that I hid it somewhere.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I do hide things lately.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Well, I'll see what I can do. Frankly, I think
there's only one thing that'll get your money back.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Let's the blocks.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Mister Colby just playing sheer luck.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's ei.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
There's something wrong with Colby's story somewhere.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
What do you mean wrong?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And ran true? I'm no a psychiatrist, o course, But
I've always understood these mental cases, found it a definite pattern. Well,
the pattern isn't right. Up until now, he's been hiding
little things about the house.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Twenty thousand dollars isn't a little thing, not in my
dictionary or mine.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But he didn't hide it in the house this time either. Yeah,
that's one thing. And this business of buying a knife
and hiding it completely outside the pattern.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Do you think he's lying?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well, it certainly doesn't make any sense that he should
try to railroad himself into an asylum unless unless, what
unless he's planning something big and oh, this is just
a build up so that he can play temporary insanity.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
He means something like murder, Well could.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Be You have a name of Klobe's cancers.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Yes, it's doctor Miles Henderson. He has an office in
his home out in Eastfield.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Try to get me in a former of doctor Henrison.
Let's find out whether he thinks Kobe might be faking.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Okay, Oh, and ask him to have.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Missus Kobe there too, Worria.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Perhaps she can tell us how her husband acts during
these so called periods of forgetfulness.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Why did you ask me mister Carter has also done
anything violent.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh no, no, no, missus Kobe, nothing like that. Yes,
and just what is this all about? I'm coming to that,
doctor Henderson. You see, mister Koby had retained me to
recover some money he thinks he's hidden and forgotten about.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
That's so.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
How much money?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Twenty thousand dollars quity thousand? Yes, he said he threw
it out of the bank during a period of amnesia
yesterday afternoon, and he didn't have it when he got home.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Why you're going to face something, Missus Coobe.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I no, no, I was surprised.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That's all you shouldn't see. I warned you that his
condition was getting word. We were a cigar mister Cousy. I, oh, no,
thank you. I believe I will the rare a large
knife to use as a cigar cutter. Ooh, I don't
think sorry, picked it up in the Orient several years ago.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh I see, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Uh, Doctor Henderson, you've been treating mister Koby for some time,
haven't you?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Only about two months?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
At first he complained of headaches, and that's in mindedness.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
He began to find his personal belongings in odd places.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There's no recollection of putting them there. Well, how about
these periods of amnesia? They started three weeks ago, and
they're getting progressively worse. At first he did silly things,
but now his actions are becoming more ominous. That's desying
that butcher knife and hiding it.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Under the pillow. You mean exactly for her own safety.
I've been trying to play this corby that her.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Husband should be placed in an institution, and I.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Can't believe that's necessary. I won't believe it.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Not until until it's too late.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Richard keep sent me about it too, until sometimes I
think I'll go mad.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Andrew's Richard, my younger brother.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
He lives with us.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Well, I'm afraid Richard's right.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
He isn't right.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
You know what he's thinking of? Doctor None's just a winner,
just the man.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I'm afraid I don't follow you.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I love my brother, mister Darter, but I know it's false.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
He thinks if Arthur were in an asylum, I'd control
Artur's money.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I see huh. Tell me, doctor Henderson, have you ever
observed a case it's quite like mister Colby's before.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
In my own experience.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
No, but the pattern of behaviors it's not really unusual.
That's what I was really wondering about up to this point.
Mister Colby's condition corresponds exactly to that as a French
editor described by a doctor bill Helm Schweiger in his
book Psychopathic Phenomena and Aberrations, or as other case, did
it start and develop in the same way that by
(10:25):
that they are exactly similar.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
That's why I'm so positive mister.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Colby should be confined fine or happened to the French
editor he murdered his best friend?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Did you find that anything from your conversation with doctor
Henderson yesterday, Max, That's.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Enough to make me even more curious. That's why you
wanted to get me a book. It's called Psychopathic Phenomena
and Aberrations by ad Sir Wilhelm Schweiger.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Think.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
I'm sorry, but I can't find that book you asked for.
I've called every publisher and books there are in town.
Nobody ever heard of it. I don't think there is
such a book.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
M In that case, that'sy get me the County Medical Association.
I see.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Thank you very much, doctor Wilson.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
What are you saying is right?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
There is no such book, and I never was a
doctor Wilhelm Scheider. Well, I don't know that the Medical
Association has no record of any such person as doctor
Miles Henderson's.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Harder. You've got to help. Something terrible has happened, So.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I can't not too late to stop.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You asked, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's only tell me that you've had another period of
temporary insanity.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Aren't here last night?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I started to my club about eight, and I don't
remember anymore until I awakened in my own room this morning.
And during this so called period of forgetfulness, what did
you do?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Murder?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I so no, Thank Heaven. Lorna is all right.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But what I found in my pocket this morning? Right,
that's doctor Henderson's paper knife. I saw it on his
desk yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yes, I must have been there last night.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And these friends in the night, they're blood. That's what
I've been covering.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I'm afraid I.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Killed the doctor.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, instead of being part of Kolbe's planned to cover
up a murder, the false doctor Miles Henderson, it appears,
has himself become Colby's victims. We'll see what happens next
in just a moment. Now back to the case of
a barefoot banker. Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought you
(13:02):
by a new pulse war old Dutch cleanser. When Arthur
Colby recovered from his latest period of amnesia, he found
in his pocket a blood stained paper knife belonging to
the man who called himself doctor Miles, Henderson's psychiatrist, making
Patsy have gone to Henderson's office in his suburban home
to see what really happened. Well, passing he's been stabbed
(13:24):
or as no other sort of a wound, it strains
that Kobe doesn't have any blood stains and his clothing maybe.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
He was wearing something else last night m ansibly.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Humm, must have cost her quite a while before the
killing took place.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Huh, but makes you think?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
So? He's astra one.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
On the doctor's side of the desk, and another by
the chair sits in.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Does brother mana that what's the matter is dotty? He's
a cigarette awers? So what Kobe smokes a pipe and
a doctor smokes cigar?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Didn't you clearly cigarette jugs are aren't any No.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
At first I thought Kolby was framing an alibi. Now
I'm beginning to wonder whether someone isn't framing Colby.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
You mean Henderson might have been stabbed by someone else,
someone who smokes cigarette exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Oh, it must have been something unusual about those cigarettes. Otherwise,
why would the stubs have been taken away?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Maybe you can tell from me?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Ask you say, way, uh, there's a few shreds of tobacco.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Good.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I will take him down to the police laboratory for analysis.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Okay, is the Is there.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
Anything else to be done here?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I wanna take a look at this filing cabinet label,
take history.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
If I can get the names of some of doctor
Henderson's other.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Patients, I'll get a tend to andrite them down for you.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
That won't be necessary, passy Huh, looks as if Koby
was the only patient to take doctor head.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You mean the file of embers?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Not quite?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Look what I found here?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
What who's made a lot of money?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Certainly is I think we found out what happened to
Kolbe's twenty thousand dollars? You mean I gave the twenty
thousand dollars to doctor Henderson during my spell of amnesia.
(15:23):
I don't think it was amnesium at the Colby nor
infanity either.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
God of what are you driving in?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Tell me how did you.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Happen to start going to Henderson?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Way met him at the house one night?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Who brought him there?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Hold, it's a big party.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Many of the guests were strangers to me.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
There is friends of honors, friends of Richard, and did
go on go on?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Henderson mentioned being.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
A doctor in the psychiatrist. So I told him about the.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Headaches I'd been having.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
He suggested I come to see him the next day,
and I did. And that's when your real trouble started,
wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yes, so headaches were the first symptoms.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
He said, what kind of treatment did he give you?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The usual routine I suppote?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Had I talked about my problems and he'd explained the
hidden meetings and what I said, wasn't.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
There ever anything else?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Well?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Sometimes he give me a senative first, and he'd stopt
to me until I fell a sleepy. He said, he
relaxed me for the actual treatment. Yes, after one of
those treatments, you would pulled some ridiculous stunt, wouldn't you.
Are you trying to tell me that doctor was responsible
for the spells I've been having? Albeit he wasn't a doctor,
He was a fake what And unless I'm mistaken, the
(16:31):
reason for your peculiar actions was not insanity.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Accident, my dear, So foolish to cart a motor in
a closed garage. People die that way.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
And as missus Colby closes the garage door, Patsy lies
unconscious behind the wheel of Arthur Colby's car, with the
motor running. We'll see what happens in just the moment.
Now for the conclusion of the case of a barefoot banker,
Today's adventure with Nick Carter, brought to you by a
(20:58):
new post war Oh, that's cleansing leading the motor of
the husband's car running. With Patty's slumps unconscious behind the wheel.
N Colby closes the garage door and spots toward the house.

This moment, Missus Goby.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Oh, mister Carter, I haven't learn it for you.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
You have thought him.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I'd like to know that your brother did not kill Henderson,
but Percy my husband. No, Missus Gorby, and not your
husband reader, you killed him. I kill that sort of No,
I don't think so, and you're not leading me.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Just get missus Goby.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Let's go my arm.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You took your husband's car and went to see Henderson
late last night, didn't you. No, I didn't you called
it him about twenty thousand dollars. He told him your husband.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
And you picked up the paper night from his death
of Sam.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's not true.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
It was awful.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Who did it? Remember the blood, Missus Koby, the blood
that stayed your dress. I found that dress with a
blood stains still on it.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Oh my, I found this morning.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Thanks for the confession, Missus Colby.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Perhaps we'd better drive down to headquarters now make it official.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
It was a trick.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
You didn't know anything I did, but I had no
proof until you gave yourself away. Come on, let's go.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
No, come to the garage.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I'm going to let you drive me to headquarters. I
won't go in there, I way, Oh yes.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You will.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Quite when I opened this garage war.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Like the motor of that car running.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
Someone tell me, they say I can leave the hospital tomorrow.
Isn't that wonderful?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Wonderful?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Let you alive path for another couple of minutes in
that garage and you'd have been my late lamented secretary.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Well, I'm sure glad you came along when you did.
But tell me this, how did you know, Missus Colby
killed the doctor.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I knew because Richard smoke Turkish cigarette. But the laboratory
analysis of those resist the back of one Henderson's astray
proved that they came from the ordinary popular.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Brand and that eliminated Richard.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yes, Kolbe smoked the pipe, so he was in the clear,
So it had to be his wife.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I don't follow that news couldn't have been some completely
unknown person.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
A half with You're forgetting that the knife was found
in Kolobe's pocket, and outside of Richard or Kolby himself,
the only person who.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Could have put it there was missus Klbe.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Well, yes, yes, but what was behind all this?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Disney?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So the plot to gets control of Kobe's money by
having him put him in asylum as a homicidal maniac.
That's why missus Kolbe hired Henderson, an next lordsal hypnotist
mind you, to pose as a.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Psychiatrist, and by putting Colby under hypnotic influence, Henderson could
make him do peculiar things the next day and then forget.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
All about them.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
He could and did.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
After a few incidents like that, all before witnesses, mind you,
Missus Kobe would have no trouble at all getting her
husband put away.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Is a dangerous lunatic.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
And Richard was completely innocent.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
He didn't no thing about it.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
You know, the whole scheme might have worked.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Talk if Henderson hadn't got greedy and use hypnotism to
make Colby draw that twenty thousand out of the bank
and bring it to him.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, that was a fatal error.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I should say it was made missus Colby fear you.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
So that's why she killed him.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
That was one reason.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
He also saw a perfect chance to get rid of
the only person who knew her planned and at the
same time put her husband in the asylum as a
homicidal maniac by putting the blame on him. What a
dirty frame of Oh, by the way, pastor, you get
fifty percent of the seat on this case to know
I do. Why because you caught the killer before I did,
even if you didn't know it.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Well, I hope I'll never catch another one.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Catching criminals is all.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Flay hard on the head.
