Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Day's a denture starring m Clock as Nick Carter.
Drop you buy a new post war all that's glamser.
The feet of the Big City are strangely silent. As
a sleek black convertible hears its way down sleeping Boulevard. Suddenly,
what the juice? Oh, no, Fatcy, we're not.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Some wise to stop.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I'm curious to know why the art museum is all
lighted up at three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh, don't tell me that you're going to stop an
invest to go guess because there are a few lifetimes.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I certainly am.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Okay, if you.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Go prowl around all by yourself there, I'm going to
stay right here and finish my nap.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah that guy, I'll wait here to the plotter eye
god By, something wrong? I was in there? Who are you?
I'm Nick Carter. I was just Carter. Hey, I've heard
of you. Thanks, But what's wrong? Plenty Sam Hills of
the night Watch. But here in the museum has been murdered. Wow,
do you happen to find him? You want duty here? No? No,
I'm on the park detail So this is on my beat.
(01:13):
You see, I go up duty at two o'clock and
I usually stop it him have a cup of tea
with old Sam before going back to the station. And
that's what you did tonight. Yes, Well, Sam wasn't in
the office, so I waited for him, thinking maybe he
was making his rounds. Did you hear anything while you
were waiting? Not a thing. But when he didn't show
up after half an hour, I want to look for him.
And found him then, Yeah, lying on the floor in
(01:35):
the Egyptian section with three bullets in them. And you
didn't see anybody not as soul the place of deserted.
So I called headquarters. Huh do you mind if I
take a look at the body? Oh no, come on,
I'll show you where it is in a pretty sight
(01:58):
of sea murderers and pretty birth. Hey this is rather rod.
What's that you noticed?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
How two of the bullets got him right near the
hut work were apparently fired from a distance.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
He's the one of what it killed him looks like.
But the third shot the one of the abdomen that
was fired from close up. Say, you're right. You can
see the powder burs in his best pocket. Wow. Look
what this watch, or what's left of it was in
his best pocket and with a look at that the
bullet shot that stem clean off of it, and stop
to watch at exactly two twenty seven. Well, that's one
(02:32):
clue we got that time of the murder. Apparently, did
you look to see whether or anything's missing? So I
didn't take time. But there's a display case right over
here that's pretty badly smashed up, and let's have a look.
I just happened to see it when I was smashed up.
All right, Hey, what's that cod, say mis Carter, that's
the exhibited from the collection of Tyler van deer Breese. Hey,
(02:54):
and he's that rich guy you always hear it about.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
He's not only rich, he's one of the most famous
collectors of Egyptian real in the world.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Just that must evaluable. Can you tell what's busy? Well,
there's a vacant space in the center of the case,
but I wouldn't know it was there. I would you
find that after the museum sellers.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The first I see say, why, oh, there's a gun.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
On the floor, and that must be the murder weapon.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Shouldn't be surprised, And judging from the smell of it,
I'd say it's been fired very recently.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh, what gouts of video pass to caught it? And
I'm wondering. I doubt that there were any identifying marks
of any kind of miss gun.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
There were, it wouldn't have been left here on the floor.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Mm hmm. Three empty shells. There's no doubt the tickets.
Somebody's coming. You're here, you know. I think you say
that the museum's reputation and all the fads for it. Hey,
is that unic nobody else? Maddy? Look, how come you
always seem to beat me to the scene of any crime.
(03:56):
I don't not always too bad. They had a drag
you out of bed at this on earthly hour. Matic Hey,
I'll say, oh ma, this is mister Steiner, curator of
the museum, and the Carter profector. How do you do?
I picked him up and brought him along to see
if anything's been stolen to this is terrible. Such a
thing hasn't happened here in twenty years. Eat anything missing?
(04:17):
I suppose you tell us that, Oh give me, I'll
never give the end of this right away. If you're
prince has been broken open the.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Most valuable collection in our horse sudden the uncle task
Garb is come, Come, what is gone? The Uncle Tascab,
one of mister Benderbrie's most fist his pieces, one of.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
The few remaining duors of the Fish Dynasty.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Of Egypt, won by the Princess. I'm a raja, obviously
a collector's item.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Then, oh, definitely, only a collector would be interested.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
How can I ever painless? To mister Debris, Gosh, what's
all them things in the next room that does look
like museums? Doctor amazing?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Isn't the City College of Science. He's remodeling their engineering
building and laid.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Some There's sure store in the next room temporarily, so
I do hope nothing else is missing. I'll never be
able to hold up my hit again. Hear my whole life?
God you when I should wait? Now break you go ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
My men will be here.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You got here? Oh so you finally got here? Did you?
William for your main Finally? You know what I mean? Now? Look,
you will be going gets busy, go over everything, get
fingerprints anything you can find, and have the boys for
sure ever the boys get way of pictures. Yeah, now
wait a minute, ducks Badley, come with you. Shot you
down here right here, telling the body and let them
get back to bed right over there, duck, See what
(05:38):
you getta made out? Okay, okay, there were shot three times, ducks.
I see what is it that any one of those
bullets could have been safer? How long do you think
it's been dead? Between two or three hours? Can't say
for sure. But what about those three wounds? They all alike? No, God,
(06:00):
they're not. I'll have to probe for the two bullets
in his chest. But the third ones right near the surface.
I mean, it was fired close to the body, but
it didn't go very deep. That's because his watch stopped it.
It's what I don't say the watch. I have it here,
took it out of his pocket to examine it, sir, Well,
(06:20):
well you'll look at that. The stem was shot clean
off and.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
The watch was stopped at two twenty seven, which may
indicate what in the world are you?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Uh uh hi, Repato?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Who's that on the floor?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The night watchman stopped by a brother?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
You were righting? There was trouble.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Here, Yes, better, there was. That's done murder. Well, I
guess I've got all I can get here for now.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
But it's still then. It's not getting any.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Early very sage observation, My comly An efficient, young secretary.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I should I do it at one?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Good night, Mary, see you in the morning. Why, good morning,
Pats didn't expect you four hours yet?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I was done the sleep play, but I couldn't. I
was much too curious to find out about the murder.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Uh huh, the true professional instinct. What are you doing
now in this Oh? I've been going through our file
trying to pick out all the crooks wh would be
interested in stealing that precious scared.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Would that be a special kind of a crookness?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It would? Why?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because in spite of the scared value, there's a limited
demand for such thing. PO would have to know where
to sell it after.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
He stole it. Oh, and there are very few crooks
that wouldn't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
How many such crooks have you found?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Only three? Danny Misson, Jim Peterson, and Jack Grogan.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Hmm, I don't seem to recognize any of those names.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Meess, no, we've never had any active connection with that
I am. Let's see Danny Meyerson still a railroad vase
from Senator Johnson's home three years ago and is now
in state's prison him.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Now, who's next?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Jim Peterson?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Let's see he's doing time in Nevada for forgery and counterfeiting.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
His sentence has several years to run yet.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And we couldn't have done it but to leave.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Jack Groven wanted on a burglary charged by the Montana police.
This appeared six months ago.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He leaved to be dead, and none of them could
have done it.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
U suppose you call Maddy see whether he knows anything
about any of these men?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
So how did any other clue? This seems like guess work.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Eliminating suspects is never guess work better out of the routine,
and work that solves many a case homicide. Dogier Mathison,
this is Patton, sergeant, Oh, top of the mornings, your
pas sergeant.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
We've got three suspects, Danny Neerson, Jim Peterson, and Jack Grogan.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
A fine collection of crooks.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Was your record show where any of these men are now?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Well? Peterson's still in jail as far as I know,
like Danny Meerson was let out on parole three days ago.
He says, Mrson's gon on par That's interesting. How about Grogan?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
How about Grothing?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Sergeants?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
All records children's presumed to be dead?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, we ain't. I've been seen around town the last
couple of days. Does Nick think he did it? Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And Nick isn't talking yet, not for publication.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Well tell him to hurry up. If he don't, I'll
go ahead, and so the case by myself.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh do you have any good clue, sergeant?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well I am, it's by of course I do.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
He's good for you. Let's Nick, No, when you attack
the murderer, will you.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Say? What do you say about Drogne that he's been.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Seen around town in the last few days?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I know? So Merson is free and Droven's back on
circulation again.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
But gives you to a suspect not so good a.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Meerson' is a better suspect than Grogan. He'd be needing
money if I know him, but you can't.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Hasn't picked up or something to go on, true.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Enough, But I can call on him and see what
he has to say.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
If you can find him, I think I can.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
He always used to stay at the old sampley house.
Shouldn't be surprised if you were staying there right now.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But do you think he'd go back to an old
address after committing a crime like this?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
From what I know of Danny, he'd be so sure
he left no clue that he wouldn't even try to hide.
Suppose you tell Maddy to have his men pick up
Grogan and to meet me at the Sampley house in
half an hour with a search work. I'll bet we
get results. Nick, I give up. There ain't a thing
(10:22):
in this room that shows that Danny Meerson ain't been
strictly on the up and up since he got out.
I'm afraid I have to agree with you. Mary here.
Oh that must be Danny coming back. Nonsense, they weren't
not gonna, don't do it? Quiet? Well, well, if it
ain't Jack Grogan, Okay, this is darn nurse of your Grogan. Yeah,
(10:46):
that's nice about it. Well, I had the boys out
looking for you and they couldn't find you. So now
you find us, but you're looking for me for just
wanted to ask you a few questions. Question about what
as we go into that when we get down to
edge quarters. Okay, you ain't taking me to know hate
tout its cover. Wait, don't be a fool, Grogan. You
(11:07):
can't cover a post of that gun. Huh? What if
we move before I say so? You'll see if I
can cover you both Grogans. Look at me a minis. Yeah,
what can you mind cover?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I just won a war year.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So it was Jack Grogan who showed up at Danny
Merrison's room in the old Famtley House. We'll see what
this means to Nick and Matty in just the moment.
Now back to the gate of the exclorded alibi. Today's
adventure with Nick Carter brought you by new post war
all that splendor. When Fagin's Mathison invited Jack Grogan to
(11:55):
go down to headquarters and talk things over, Jack objected frenuously.
A nice work next, that did it?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Never thought he'd be tool enough to think he could
keep the two of us covering. Not when we were
on opposite sides of the room.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Come on, Drogan, get up, Get up? What you're picking
on me? For copper? You just pulled a gun on
an office of the law. Put their hands up. Okay, Grogan,
what are you doing here? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Getny and me? We well, he owes me some money.
So you dropped into clerk when he wasn't here. Yeah,
I thought maybe, Look, you and Mierson wouldn't have been
working together on that job last night. Were just what Well,
we'll talk about that down as headquarters. Are you coming, Nick? Oh? No, no,
I'm not true here yet.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Mat.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I suppose you would turn Grogan over to the copper
with waiting gun stairs and come back here.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Okay, Nick, come on, Drogan, come now, let's let me see.
It's groping and missing. We're working together. Maybe Grogan came
back here to step a crossness and he did. That
may mean something's hidden here after us? Hey? What? Well? Hello, Danny?
(13:16):
Nick Carter, Hey, what are you doing in my room? Why?
Just looking around? Looking around for what? I think you know?
Don't try to be killed, Cotter. You gotta search one, Sure,
we gotta search one. You want to see it? Well,
so you're in this soul, you're done right. What do
(13:36):
you take to take to find here? Something that disappeared
from the museum last night? Well you won't find it here.
You seem to be right this time, Danny, and we've
looked and we haven't found it. Where'd you hide it? See?
I don't know what you mean. I can't answer that.
You mean you won't? What's the matter? Though? Didn't you
look unhappy? I am? I am? I gotta feerce Hennach
(13:57):
didn't get enough sleep last night. Well, it's a mass
from editing cabinets in the bathroom. Help yourself. Hey, i'll
do that. You got a glass and I can't take
the stuff in that water or I'm sorry, so I don't.
But well, I broke the only glass I had this morning.
You broke the only glass, Danny. What's that on the
shelf behind you? Oh? Yes, I forgot that way. Hey, oh,
(14:25):
I'm sorry. You start getting the switch out in my hand. Okay, okay,
I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Fla, Danny, you didn't drop that glass accidentally.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
What are you getting nixt? For some reason, Danny doesn't
want you to have a drink of water. Matter. Maybe
he doesn't want to run the water in the bag. Okay,
you don'e I just nt on the water. Matter. See
what happens. I can't. I can't do what I I
mean here, I'll do it for you. That thought. That
is kind of tricky. Oh yeah, you see you have starpe.
(14:58):
I got my gun right in the middle of your
If you make a movie, I okay, okay, how are
you moving? And if your friend tries anything fancy, you'll
get it. I understand ka, I understand it. What's your proposition? Denny,
I just take the thing you've been looking for and
get out of here without any interspherence otherwise you well,
(15:21):
that seems fair enough. What are you saying, Marry say
you're crazy? Mick. You're gonna look at Mary? Yeah, but
I might say the wrong thing. Make Danny So, I
got a gun on the sage in's backing my arm
around his neck. If either one of you guys tiny way,
I don't Dennis, who's gonna I can shot your strangle?
(15:46):
And if anybody makes a blank Paddy, don't talk all right,
but that's not your head? Yes or no? Now what
do you say should we make it to you? Don't
say you don't? I get here my arms call you
(16:07):
breaking my arm? I won't break it, not of your hole.
Still Okay, I know, and I'm like, are your accuse one?
You know? I learned that trick a bang on my
head against the nose of a guy holding me from behind,
but I forgot it till you mind. Yell you're tall.
My nose is bleeding. Diet and cover Mary. Yes, I
(16:30):
want to get the scarab give me it's really here
to say it is? That's I'm it's my guest. You admit,
not yet. I'll bet that it's done. Got here is
here were here in the wash basin grain, it's got beauty.
Are you kidding? You mean that's what we've been looking for?
(16:50):
That beatle thing, that's Maddy.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
This is the scareb But Princess amon ra well be
jo wow man. Hey, there was a pretty smart trick
to spending this thing and the rain of the wash
bason by a thread.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
So that's why he didn't want us to run the
water course. If we did, thread might break its id.
The scare of just about fill the drain and the
water wouldn't have run off as fast as it should.
Uh huh, Well, Danny, are you ready to confess? Confess
why that's too stole that scarab and knocked off the
museum watchman. Now, all you got on me is having
(17:22):
stolen goods in my possession. That's the watchman. I got
an alibi. Well, that's interesting here. Suppose we all go
down to headquarters so you can tell us about that
alibi of yours.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
May do you anything you can prove, Danny till that watchman.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh, that depends on how good his alibi is, Dessie.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, but an albi can be faked, can't it?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It can? And I'm positive Danny's is. This is.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Nick Tardy's office, Tasty.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Bone speaking, Nick Air Patry.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Oh yes, Sergeant Henke a, Sergean Madison, Oh.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Thanks, yeah, matter what have you found out? Look that
Danny's alibi is air tight, Nick, we can't beat it.
Are you sure? Then? I'm positive the Watchman was killed
at two twenties Pheasant between two ten and two thirty five.
Danny was in an all night drug store three miles
from the museum. Our's alibi witness is good. Well, the
drug store clink remembers him. But what's hoist? The Cup
(18:29):
on the Beach stopped in there at two twenty and
talked to him. He knows Danny and swears to the
time man that just isn't possible. Oh maybe not. But look, Nick,
we got a true we're right before. We can take
him before the Grand Jewelry. Okay, okay, I'll find some
way now, I hope you can, Nick, but make it fair.
I'll try it so long. What you say, Danny's alibi
(18:54):
is air tight, but I still don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Course he could be.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Why are you so sure he did it, mate, because
he started swearing ahead and alibry before he even knew
what time the murder occurred.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
And another thing, The watchmen were shot twice from a
distance and once close up.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
There was a close up shot to stop that.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Wach add exactly to twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
So what look, Patsy? The first two shots killed the watchman.
I understand that. Okay.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
So suppose the killer took the watch out of the
dead man's pocket, set it ahead to two twenty seven,
then put it back in his pocket, and then, in
order to stop the watch and also to make it
look as though it stopped at the exact time of
the murder, he shot the watchman a third time from
close up.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Do you really think that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm sure of it. I've got to find some way
to prove it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I'll say no jury would believe that story.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Without proof, Patsy, Let's go back to the museum. Ok.
Maybe we overlook something that will give us the facts
we need. Is there anything else you'd like to see
(20:09):
mister call him? Oh? Nothing I can think of. Mister Steiner,
which you still believe this list and is guilty, I'd
take my reputation on it. But belief and proof are
two very different things. Couldn't you try a lie detector
on him?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yes, we could, But unfortunately some jury still believe that
a lie detector is only a makeshift and not real evidence.
A clever lawyer can sometimes talk his clients out of
the results of a lie detected test.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I suppose they think a wiggly line running across at
chart doesn't really mean anything.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Definitely ridiculous. Any scientist no instet of than let and
takes the seismograph for example, I look at it every morning,
at wiggly line. I do you call it? Do you
have a seismograph here in the museum, Py, Yes, It's
part of the apparatus City College's signs stored in the
next room. Of course, I remember now that you mentioned
something at the head of running pay He's they had.
(21:00):
I want to see it quick.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
But one I see that seismograph is going to prove
that Danny Maerson's guilty of murder.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Well, that's a new wrinkle, a seismograph used as proof
in a murder case. Just how Nick plans to use
this information we'll find out in just a moment. Now,
for the conclusion of the case of the exploded alibi.
Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by a
(21:35):
new post war all that's Glancer. The scene is Sergeant
Mathieson's office at police headquarters. The sergeant and Nick are
discussing Danny Merrison's case with Danny and his lawyer, Mister Carter,
I demand to know why my client, mister Mierson, is
being treated like this. He's admitted to be a receiver
of stolen goods, but he's guilty of nothing else.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Mister Amberley, you claim that Danny couldn't distilled in the
scab and killed the watchman because at the time the
murder and theft were committed, he was at a drug.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Store some three miles from the museum.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
That's absolutely a rick, mister Ramilly. The watchman was apparently
killed at two twenty seven, if we can judge by
the time he's watch stopped.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
But actually he.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Was killed exactly one hour and twelve minutes before the
time shown on the watch.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Why that's impossible the watchman's.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Time A watchman's timepiece was set ahead by mission to
established an alibi for himself, and I.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Have positive proof of that. Back a line certainly is
is absolutely ridiculous, is it?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
All the evidence I'm talking about is unemotional, truthful and positive.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
At the seismographic shark, what's that here? What in the
name of this Saints is size? A seismographic chart? Yeah?
What you said, I'll tell you, Maddie. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
In the room next to the Egyptian collection in the museum,
there's an instrument used to detect earthquake tremors. It's called
the seismograph, and it's so sensitive it'll record the slightest
disturb My dear mister Carter, I can't you live in
a minute, mister Embiley, I have here a shot that
was made by the seismograph last night.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Let me show you what it said, which is hardly
the usual. The hey, there was murder. Now.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Look at twelve forty five, there was a slight tremor,
a trembling of the earth, probably due to some very
distant earthquakes.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
What do you know?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
At one oh five, five minutes past one, there were
two sharp eruptions in the immediate vicinity. I can't say
exactly what caused them, but they're probably due to blasting
in the neighborhood or took gunshots in the immediate vicinity.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
There was no blasting done last night. Get to appoint
mister Carter.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
My time is valuable, so it's human life, Emily. I'll
notice the shot shows that at one seventeen, twelve minutes
later there was another sharp report just like the previous one,
but some then on until fifteen minutes before six. The
line made by the seismograph shows nothing whatever out of
the ordinary.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Then there were no shots fight at the museum between
one seventeen and five forty five yesterday morning. That's right, Maddy,
and that means that the watchmen were shot and killed
at five minutes past one. The killer then took the
watch out of the dead man's pocket and set it
ahead to two twenty seven, and then shot him again
at one seventeen, And that gave him plenty of time
to get to the drug store and set up an arbor.
(24:24):
See here, that doesn't mean I don't waste your breath
and believe it happened just the way they said, and
I have got away with it and it wasn't so
that that. I just call it a truth machine, Danny,
because that's what it really is.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
It tells the truth and in this case makes others
tell the truth too, Doug gurnet Nick.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That's sure a great citie. Yes, there's a great machine.
The Day's a denture starring m Clock as Nick Carter.
Drop you buy a new post war all that's glamser.
The feet of the Big City are strangely silent. As
a sleek black convertible hears its way down sleeping Boulevard. Suddenly,
what the juice? Oh, no, Fatcy, we're not.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Some wise to stop.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I'm curious to know why the art museum is all
lighted up at three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh, don't tell me that you're going to stop an
invest to go guess because there are a few lifetimes.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I certainly am.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Okay, if you.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Go prowl around all by yourself there, I'm going to
stay right here and finish my nap.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah that guy, I'll wait here to the plotter eye
god By, something wrong? I was in there? Who are you?
I'm Nick Carter. I was just Carter. Hey, I've heard
of you. Thanks, But what's wrong? Plenty Sam Hills of
the night Watch. But here in the museum has been murdered. Wow,
do you happen to find him? You want duty here? No? No,
I'm on the park detail So this is on my beat.
(01:13):
You see, I go up duty at two o'clock and
I usually stop it him have a cup of tea
with old Sam before going back to the station. And
that's what you did tonight. Yes, Well, Sam wasn't in
the office, so I waited for him, thinking maybe he
was making his rounds. Did you hear anything while you
were waiting? Not a thing. But when he didn't show
up after half an hour, I want to look for him.
And found him then, Yeah, lying on the floor in
(01:35):
the Egyptian section with three bullets in them. And you
didn't see anybody not as soul the place of deserted.
So I called headquarters. Huh do you mind if I
take a look at the body? Oh no, come on,
I'll show you where it is in a pretty sight
(01:58):
of sea murderers and pretty birth. Hey this is rather rod.
What's that you noticed?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
How two of the bullets got him right near the
hut work were apparently fired from a distance.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
He's the one of what it killed him looks like.
But the third shot the one of the abdomen that
was fired from close up. Say, you're right. You can
see the powder burs in his best pocket. Wow. Look
what this watch, or what's left of it was in
his best pocket and with a look at that the
bullet shot that stem clean off of it, and stop
to watch at exactly two twenty seven. Well, that's one
(02:32):
clue we got that time of the murder. Apparently, did
you look to see whether or anything's missing? So I
didn't take time. But there's a display case right over
here that's pretty badly smashed up, and let's have a look.
I just happened to see it when I was smashed up.
All right, Hey, what's that cod, say mis Carter, that's
the exhibited from the collection of Tyler van deer Breese. Hey,
(02:54):
and he's that rich guy you always hear it about.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
He's not only rich, he's one of the most famous
collectors of Egyptian real in the world.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Just that must evaluable. Can you tell what's busy? Well,
there's a vacant space in the center of the case,
but I wouldn't know it was there. I would you
find that after the museum sellers.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The first I see say, why, oh, there's a gun.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
On the floor, and that must be the murder weapon.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Shouldn't be surprised, And judging from the smell of it,
I'd say it's been fired very recently.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh, what gouts of video pass to caught it? And
I'm wondering. I doubt that there were any identifying marks
of any kind of miss gun.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
There were, it wouldn't have been left here on the floor.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Mm hmm. Three empty shells. There's no doubt the tickets.
Somebody's coming. You're here, you know. I think you say
that the museum's reputation and all the fads for it. Hey,
is that unic nobody else? Maddy? Look, how come you
always seem to beat me to the scene of any crime.
(03:56):
I don't not always too bad. They had a drag
you out of bed at this on earthly hour. Matic Hey,
I'll say, oh ma, this is mister Steiner, curator of
the museum, and the Carter profector. How do you do?
I picked him up and brought him along to see
if anything's been stolen to this is terrible. Such a
thing hasn't happened here in twenty years. Eat anything missing?
(04:17):
I suppose you tell us that, Oh give me, I'll
never give the end of this right away. If you're
prince has been broken open the.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Most valuable collection in our horse sudden the uncle task
Garb is come, Come, what is gone? The Uncle Tascab,
one of mister Benderbrie's most fist his pieces, one of.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
The few remaining duors of the Fish Dynasty.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Of Egypt, won by the Princess. I'm a raja, obviously
a collector's item.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Then, oh, definitely, only a collector would be interested.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
How can I ever painless? To mister Debris, Gosh, what's
all them things in the next room that does look
like museums? Doctor amazing?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Isn't the City College of Science. He's remodeling their engineering
building and laid.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Some There's sure store in the next room temporarily, so
I do hope nothing else is missing. I'll never be
able to hold up my hit again. Hear my whole life?
God you when I should wait? Now break you go ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
My men will be here.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You got here? Oh so you finally got here? Did you?
William for your main Finally? You know what I mean? Now? Look,
you will be going gets busy, go over everything, get
fingerprints anything you can find, and have the boys for
sure ever the boys get way of pictures. Yeah, now
wait a minute, ducks Badley, come with you. Shot you
down here right here, telling the body and let them
get back to bed right over there, duck, See what
(05:38):
you getta made out? Okay, okay, there were shot three times, ducks.
I see what is it that any one of those
bullets could have been safer? How long do you think
it's been dead? Between two or three hours? Can't say
for sure. But what about those three wounds? They all alike? No, God,
(06:00):
they're not. I'll have to probe for the two bullets
in his chest. But the third ones right near the surface.
I mean, it was fired close to the body, but
it didn't go very deep. That's because his watch stopped it.
It's what I don't say the watch. I have it here,
took it out of his pocket to examine it, sir, Well,
(06:20):
well you'll look at that. The stem was shot clean
off and.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
The watch was stopped at two twenty seven, which may
indicate what in the world are you?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Uh uh hi, Repato?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Who's that on the floor?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The night watchman stopped by a brother?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
You were righting? There was trouble.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Here, Yes, better, there was. That's done murder. Well, I
guess I've got all I can get here for now.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
But it's still then. It's not getting any.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Early very sage observation, My comly An efficient, young secretary.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I should I do it at one?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Good night, Mary, see you in the morning. Why, good morning,
Pats didn't expect you four hours yet?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I was done the sleep play, but I couldn't. I
was much too curious to find out about the murder.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Uh huh, the true professional instinct. What are you doing
now in this Oh? I've been going through our file
trying to pick out all the crooks wh would be
interested in stealing that precious scared.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Would that be a special kind of a crookness?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It would? Why?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because in spite of the scared value, there's a limited
demand for such thing. PO would have to know where
to sell it after.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
He stole it. Oh, and there are very few crooks
that wouldn't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
How many such crooks have you found?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Only three? Danny Misson, Jim Peterson, and Jack Grogan.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Hmm, I don't seem to recognize any of those names.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Meess, no, we've never had any active connection with that
I am. Let's see Danny Meyerson still a railroad vase
from Senator Johnson's home three years ago and is now
in state's prison him.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Now, who's next?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Jim Peterson?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Let's see he's doing time in Nevada for forgery and counterfeiting.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
His sentence has several years to run yet.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And we couldn't have done it but to leave.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Jack Groven wanted on a burglary charged by the Montana police.
This appeared six months ago.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He leaved to be dead, and none of them could
have done it.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
U suppose you call Maddy see whether he knows anything
about any of these men?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
So how did any other clue? This seems like guess work.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Eliminating suspects is never guess work better out of the routine,
and work that solves many a case homicide. Dogier Mathison,
this is Patton, sergeant, Oh, top of the mornings, your
pas sergeant.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
We've got three suspects, Danny Neerson, Jim Peterson, and Jack Grogan.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
A fine collection of crooks.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Was your record show where any of these men are now?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Well? Peterson's still in jail as far as I know,
like Danny Meerson was let out on parole three days ago.
He says, Mrson's gon on par That's interesting. How about Grogan?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
How about Grothing?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Sergeants?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
All records children's presumed to be dead?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, we ain't. I've been seen around town the last
couple of days. Does Nick think he did it? Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And Nick isn't talking yet, not for publication.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Well tell him to hurry up. If he don't, I'll
go ahead, and so the case by myself.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh do you have any good clue, sergeant?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well I am, it's by of course I do.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
He's good for you. Let's Nick, No, when you attack
the murderer, will you.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Say? What do you say about Drogne that he's been.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Seen around town in the last few days?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I know? So Merson is free and Droven's back on
circulation again.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
But gives you to a suspect not so good a.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Meerson' is a better suspect than Grogan. He'd be needing
money if I know him, but you can't.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Hasn't picked up or something to go on, true.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Enough, But I can call on him and see what
he has to say.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
If you can find him, I think I can.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
He always used to stay at the old sampley house.
Shouldn't be surprised if you were staying there right now.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But do you think he'd go back to an old
address after committing a crime like this?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
From what I know of Danny, he'd be so sure
he left no clue that he wouldn't even try to hide.
Suppose you tell Maddy to have his men pick up
Grogan and to meet me at the Sampley house in
half an hour with a search work. I'll bet we
get results. Nick, I give up. There ain't a thing
(10:22):
in this room that shows that Danny Meerson ain't been
strictly on the up and up since he got out.
I'm afraid I have to agree with you. Mary here.
Oh that must be Danny coming back. Nonsense, they weren't
not gonna, don't do it? Quiet? Well, well, if it
ain't Jack Grogan, Okay, this is darn nurse of your Grogan. Yeah,
(10:46):
that's nice about it. Well, I had the boys out
looking for you and they couldn't find you. So now
you find us, but you're looking for me for just
wanted to ask you a few questions. Question about what
as we go into that when we get down to
edge quarters. Okay, you ain't taking me to know hate
tout its cover. Wait, don't be a fool, Grogan. You
(11:07):
can't cover a post of that gun. Huh? What if
we move before I say so? You'll see if I
can cover you both Grogans. Look at me a minis. Yeah,
what can you mind cover?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I just won a war year.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So it was Jack Grogan who showed up at Danny
Merrison's room in the old Famtley House. We'll see what
this means to Nick and Matty in just the moment.
Now back to the gate of the exclorded alibi. Today's
adventure with Nick Carter brought you by new post war
all that splendor. When Fagin's Mathison invited Jack Grogan to
(11:55):
go down to headquarters and talk things over, Jack objected frenuously.
A nice work next, that did it?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Never thought he'd be tool enough to think he could
keep the two of us covering. Not when we were
on opposite sides of the room.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Come on, Drogan, get up, Get up? What you're picking
on me? For copper? You just pulled a gun on
an office of the law. Put their hands up. Okay, Grogan,
what are you doing here? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Getny and me? We well, he owes me some money.
So you dropped into clerk when he wasn't here. Yeah,
I thought maybe, Look, you and Mierson wouldn't have been
working together on that job last night. Were just what Well,
we'll talk about that down as headquarters. Are you coming, Nick? Oh? No, no,
I'm not true here yet.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Mat.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I suppose you would turn Grogan over to the copper
with waiting gun stairs and come back here.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Okay, Nick, come on, Drogan, come now, let's let me see.
It's groping and missing. We're working together. Maybe Grogan came
back here to step a crossness and he did. That
may mean something's hidden here after us? Hey? What? Well? Hello, Danny?
(13:16):
Nick Carter, Hey, what are you doing in my room? Why?
Just looking around? Looking around for what? I think you know?
Don't try to be killed, Cotter. You gotta search one, Sure,
we gotta search one. You want to see it? Well,
so you're in this soul, you're done right. What do
(13:36):
you take to take to find here? Something that disappeared
from the museum last night? Well you won't find it here.
You seem to be right this time, Danny, and we've
looked and we haven't found it. Where'd you hide it? See?
I don't know what you mean. I can't answer that.
You mean you won't? What's the matter? Though? Didn't you
look unhappy? I am? I am? I gotta feerce Hennach
(13:57):
didn't get enough sleep last night. Well, it's a mass
from editing cabinets in the bathroom. Help yourself. Hey, i'll
do that. You got a glass and I can't take
the stuff in that water or I'm sorry, so I don't.
But well, I broke the only glass I had this morning.
You broke the only glass, Danny. What's that on the
shelf behind you? Oh? Yes, I forgot that way. Hey, oh,
(14:25):
I'm sorry. You start getting the switch out in my hand. Okay, okay,
I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Fla, Danny, you didn't drop that glass accidentally.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
What are you getting nixt? For some reason, Danny doesn't
want you to have a drink of water. Matter. Maybe
he doesn't want to run the water in the bag. Okay,
you don'e I just nt on the water. Matter. See
what happens. I can't. I can't do what I I
mean here, I'll do it for you. That thought. That
is kind of tricky. Oh yeah, you see you have starpe.
(14:58):
I got my gun right in the middle of your
If you make a movie, I okay, okay, how are
you moving? And if your friend tries anything fancy, you'll
get it. I understand ka, I understand it. What's your proposition? Denny,
I just take the thing you've been looking for and
get out of here without any interspherence otherwise you well,
(15:21):
that seems fair enough. What are you saying, Marry say
you're crazy? Mick. You're gonna look at Mary? Yeah, but
I might say the wrong thing. Make Danny So, I
got a gun on the sage in's backing my arm
around his neck. If either one of you guys tiny way,
I don't Dennis, who's gonna I can shot your strangle?
(15:46):
And if anybody makes a blank Paddy, don't talk all right,
but that's not your head? Yes or no? Now what
do you say should we make it to you? Don't
say you don't? I get here my arms call you
(16:07):
breaking my arm? I won't break it, not of your hole.
Still Okay, I know, and I'm like, are your accuse one?
You know? I learned that trick a bang on my
head against the nose of a guy holding me from behind,
but I forgot it till you mind. Yell you're tall.
My nose is bleeding. Diet and cover Mary. Yes, I
(16:30):
want to get the scarab give me it's really here
to say it is? That's I'm it's my guest. You admit,
not yet. I'll bet that it's done. Got here is
here were here in the wash basin grain, it's got beauty.
Are you kidding? You mean that's what we've been looking for?
(16:50):
That beatle thing, that's Maddy.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
This is the scareb But Princess amon ra well be
jo wow man. Hey, there was a pretty smart trick
to spending this thing and the rain of the wash
bason by a thread.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
So that's why he didn't want us to run the
water course. If we did, thread might break its id.
The scare of just about fill the drain and the
water wouldn't have run off as fast as it should.
Uh huh, Well, Danny, are you ready to confess? Confess
why that's too stole that scarab and knocked off the
museum watchman. Now, all you got on me is having
(17:22):
stolen goods in my possession. That's the watchman. I got
an alibi. Well, that's interesting here. Suppose we all go
down to headquarters so you can tell us about that
alibi of yours.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
May do you anything you can prove, Danny till that watchman.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh, that depends on how good his alibi is, Dessie.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, but an albi can be faked, can't it?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It can? And I'm positive Danny's is. This is.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Nick Tardy's office, Tasty.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Bone speaking, Nick Air Patry.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Oh yes, Sergeant Henke a, Sergean Madison, Oh.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Thanks, yeah, matter what have you found out? Look that
Danny's alibi is air tight, Nick, we can't beat it.
Are you sure? Then? I'm positive the Watchman was killed
at two twenties Pheasant between two ten and two thirty five.
Danny was in an all night drug store three miles
from the museum. Our's alibi witness is good. Well, the
drug store clink remembers him. But what's hoist? The Cup
(18:29):
on the Beach stopped in there at two twenty and
talked to him. He knows Danny and swears to the
time man that just isn't possible. Oh maybe not. But look, Nick,
we got a true we're right before. We can take
him before the Grand Jewelry. Okay, okay, I'll find some
way now, I hope you can, Nick, but make it fair.
I'll try it so long. What you say, Danny's alibi
(18:54):
is air tight, but I still don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Course he could be.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Why are you so sure he did it, mate, because
he started swearing ahead and alibry before he even knew
what time the murder occurred.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
And another thing, The watchmen were shot twice from a
distance and once close up.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
There was a close up shot to stop that.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Wach add exactly to twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
So what look, Patsy? The first two shots killed the watchman.
I understand that. Okay.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
So suppose the killer took the watch out of the
dead man's pocket, set it ahead to two twenty seven,
then put it back in his pocket, and then, in
order to stop the watch and also to make it
look as though it stopped at the exact time of
the murder, he shot the watchman a third time from
close up.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Do you really think that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm sure of it. I've got to find some way
to prove it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I'll say no jury would believe that story.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Without proof, Patsy, Let's go back to the museum. Ok.
Maybe we overlook something that will give us the facts
we need. Is there anything else you'd like to see
(20:09):
mister call him? Oh? Nothing I can think of. Mister Steiner,
which you still believe this list and is guilty, I'd
take my reputation on it. But belief and proof are
two very different things. Couldn't you try a lie detector
on him?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yes, we could, But unfortunately some jury still believe that
a lie detector is only a makeshift and not real evidence.
A clever lawyer can sometimes talk his clients out of
the results of a lie detected test.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I suppose they think a wiggly line running across at
chart doesn't really mean anything.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Definitely ridiculous. Any scientist no instet of than let and
takes the seismograph for example, I look at it every morning,
at wiggly line. I do you call it? Do you
have a seismograph here in the museum, Py, Yes, It's
part of the apparatus City College's signs stored in the
next room. Of course, I remember now that you mentioned
something at the head of running pay He's they had.
(21:00):
I want to see it quick.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
But one I see that seismograph is going to prove
that Danny Maerson's guilty of murder.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Well, that's a new wrinkle, a seismograph used as proof
in a murder case. Just how Nick plans to use
this information we'll find out in just a moment. Now,
for the conclusion of the case of the exploded alibi.
Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by a
(21:35):
new post war all that's Glancer. The scene is Sergeant
Mathieson's office at police headquarters. The sergeant and Nick are
discussing Danny Merrison's case with Danny and his lawyer, Mister Carter,
I demand to know why my client, mister Mierson, is
being treated like this. He's admitted to be a receiver
of stolen goods, but he's guilty of nothing else.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Mister Amberley, you claim that Danny couldn't distilled in the
scab and killed the watchman because at the time the
murder and theft were committed, he was at a drug.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Store some three miles from the museum.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
That's absolutely a rick, mister Ramilly. The watchman was apparently
killed at two twenty seven, if we can judge by
the time he's watch stopped.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
But actually he.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Was killed exactly one hour and twelve minutes before the
time shown on the watch.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Why that's impossible the watchman's.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Time A watchman's timepiece was set ahead by mission to
established an alibi for himself, and I.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Have positive proof of that. Back a line certainly is
is absolutely ridiculous, is it?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
All the evidence I'm talking about is unemotional, truthful and positive.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
At the seismographic shark, what's that here? What in the
name of this Saints is size? A seismographic chart? Yeah?
What you said, I'll tell you, Maddie. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
In the room next to the Egyptian collection in the museum,
there's an instrument used to detect earthquake tremors. It's called
the seismograph, and it's so sensitive it'll record the slightest
disturb My dear mister Carter, I can't you live in
a minute, mister Embiley, I have here a shot that
was made by the seismograph last night.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Let me show you what it said, which is hardly
the usual. The hey, there was murder. Now.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Look at twelve forty five, there was a slight tremor,
a trembling of the earth, probably due to some very
distant earthquakes.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
What do you know?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
At one oh five, five minutes past one, there were
two sharp eruptions in the immediate vicinity. I can't say
exactly what caused them, but they're probably due to blasting
in the neighborhood or took gunshots in the immediate vicinity.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
There was no blasting done last night. Get to appoint
mister Carter.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
My time is valuable, so it's human life, Emily. I'll
notice the shot shows that at one seventeen, twelve minutes
later there was another sharp report just like the previous one,
but some then on until fifteen minutes before six. The
line made by the seismograph shows nothing whatever out of
the ordinary.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Then there were no shots fight at the museum between
one seventeen and five forty five yesterday morning. That's right, Maddy,
and that means that the watchmen were shot and killed
at five minutes past one. The killer then took the
watch out of the dead man's pocket and set it
ahead to two twenty seven, and then shot him again
at one seventeen, And that gave him plenty of time
to get to the drug store and set up an arbor.
(24:24):
See here, that doesn't mean I don't waste your breath
and believe it happened just the way they said, and
I have got away with it and it wasn't so
that that. I just call it a truth machine, Danny,
because that's what it really is.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
It tells the truth and in this case makes others
tell the truth too, Doug gurnet Nick.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That's sure a great citie. Yes, there's a great machine.
