Remember Nate Benedict, the guy who stole the Phoenix Garso.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Why of course you have spending up about three years ago.
Speaker 4 (01:54):

Speaker 7 (01:55):
Well, he escaped from the pan about ten o'clock last night.
Do yees a big you're up in twenty minutes, Petty,
I put Benedict in prison and I'm going to see
that he goes back.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Well, what are we going to do with the office you, mad?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Are A couple of things.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
I want to check up on the name and address
of night Benedict's girlfriend, for one.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
So I remember her name. It was Kay Florian.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Why, yes, that's its Do.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
You think Thandy will try to contract her?
Speaker 8 (02:28):
You might.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
One thing we can be sure of.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
He'll go after the fifty thousand dollars worth of jewels
he hit somewhere.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Yes, I wonder where he hit them.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
You're not the only one who wondered, Petty. When Benedict
refused to talk to the insurance company had to pay
off Felix Scott collected the full fifty thousand.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well here we are.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
I've got my key right here in this oh oh un.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Closely, I'll snap on the light for him.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
I've got him, great, sir.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
The place is a shambled mak. He's been a fighting
here certainly looks that way and got.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
A load of that filing cabinet. Oh, somebody's forced it open.
Go have a look at my office, right.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Take your office and ran tacked too.
Speaker 9 (03:22):
Someone must look over there by your desk is a man.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Lying on the floor and I'm a light.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Ho is it we like?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Run?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I'm over.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Oh, but I.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Don't know who we have, Patsy, I've no use asking him.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
He's been murdered.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
I got Maddie on the phone.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
It he'll be right over.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Oh, thanks, Patty.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Did you find anything on the body to identify him?
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Just a slip of paper in his pockets with an
address on it.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Nine ten, nineteen ten, nineteen Willow Hill Drive.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Uh huh?
Speaker 6 (03:59):
What do you suppose he was asking it?
Speaker 7 (04:01):
Whatever it was, it was important enough for someone to
follow him here and take it away from him as
he put up a fight exactly. My guess is that
whoever killed and didn't mean to do it here in
the office when the fight started, there wasn't any choice.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Maybe you can find out what they wanted if we
check our cross files against the files in the drawer
that was forced open.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
That'll tell us of a file folder is missing.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
That's my girl, good idea.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
I'll read the names of the cross file and you
check them against the holders in the drawer. You ready,
Adam Albright, Anderson, Apple Gates, Fabcock Banister parton Benedict.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, the file I.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Made miss him five hours ago Benedict escaped from prison.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That's no coincidence.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
But why would he want all files card in his
own case? Why would anyone wanted?
Speaker 7 (04:51):
The answer to that is somewhere on this cross file card.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You mean, because it contains all the information we had
on the original card, the one that smith.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Yeah, here's everything down to Benedict's family name.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
His family name.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
He has to change his name years ago. His father's
name was Bennededetteville.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Oh, according to the card it was, that's straight. Whatn
The address written on that slip of paper I found
on the dead man was ten Lane, ten Willow Hill, Fife.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
You know who's address that is? Now?
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Who's Felix gard Sip the.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Man Benedick stole the jewel star.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
Very queen.
Speaker 7 (05:30):

over we're going to pay a call on mister Felix Garth.
Speaker 8 (05:44):

Speaker 4 (05:48):
To break in on you at this hour, mister Garth.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
But oh, let go, mister Carter.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
There's another respect I just heard of late Benedict's escaping.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
Was about to call yous call me? Why about his visitor?
I had yesterday?
Speaker 6 (06:01):
So I missed the guy.
Speaker 10 (06:02):
Really, he wouldn't give me his name, but he said
he could find out where BENEFIT had hidden my jewels.
That's so yes, and he offered to get them for
me if I paid five thousand dollars.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
And you are bringing why not?
Speaker 10 (06:15):
The insurance company is offering you reward of five thousand
dollars for the jewel.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
What if this man look like their guard? Oh?
Speaker 10 (06:21):
He was rather none. The script characters small Sandy here

Speaker 7 (07:21):
When we quested Benedict's girl, Kay Floria, what did you expect.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
To find out?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I don't know, Patty a as I'm concerned.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
The only question I want answered is what was on
that file card that would have told Sammy Gates where
the phelix got jewels are hitting?
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Sure that was why Gas was left of the file right.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
The only way it heads up Gates was Benedict's cell
map and prison. Yeah, evidently he learned enough from Benedict
and no he could locate the jewels from something in.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Our pide and he tried to do it and then
they throw pretty crown. Gates trailed him to our office.
Isn't surprise him there and there was a fight and

The state police cornered Nate Benedict a half hour ago.
There was a gun battles and Benedict was killed.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Why did they find him?
Speaker 8 (10:16):
That's what's the screwing this. He was only five miles
from his penitentiary when he was trapped. He never got any.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Father, only five miles.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
But what that movie.

Been in town, right, and that means that our theory
is blown up in our faces.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Nate Benedict couldn't have murdered Sammy Gates.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Momentarily stunned by the unexpected use of Nate Benedict's death,
Nick realized that what seemed to be an open and
shut case has suddenly developed into a deep mystery, and
that he's dealing with a daring and desperate murderer. We'll
see what happens in just a moment. Now back to
the case of a graveyard Gun Today's adventure with Nick
(11:01):
Carter Robbed You buy a new post.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
As we pick up our story, Nick, Patsy, and Maddie.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Have returned to Nick's office following the news of Nate
Benedic's death.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
A death let us turn the murder of Sammy Gates
from what.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Appeared to be a clare cut case into a perplexing mystery.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Hell with Benedict dead.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
I admit I'm stimy, Nick, Where do we go from here?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
At only one other lead, Maddy?
Speaker 7 (11:27):
There was sun the fact that I first arrested Benedict
out in Wildwood Cemetery, And that's the night his girlfriend
Kay Florian got a phone call from out there. So
we thought the call came from Bennity, sure, but now
we know it couldn't have right, So who was it?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
The course?
Speaker 8 (11:40):
What else?
Speaker 6 (11:41):
The size and trace, the cause of the carecase's cottage?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Friend?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Wouldn't the caretaker be worth talking to?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Cos?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Oh you Nick? We're not going out to Wildwood Cemetery?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Everything else in this case has turned out to be
a dead end, so why not try cemetery?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Oh goshness, I just don't like stranding around a grave
yard in the middle of the night.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
What's the debt here? The care takers and home is
probably just dark?
Speaker 7 (12:13):
So why don't we grow?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Or they may be back at any minute?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Matic and I think it's worth hanging around for amorrow.
And that's what it's like.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
Oh but.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Hard to see the smaller gravestone.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
You're telling me almost.

What are you looking at?
Speaker 1 (12:29):

Speaker 3 (13:02):
That's what Danny Gates was acting our files. Nate Benedict's
family name right, H must have known that.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
I arrested Benedict out here in this cemetery. Apparently he'd
won the information out of Benedict somehow that the jewels
are buried behind his father don't.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
Know, which means that to find the jewels all he
had to do was to find.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Out the right name of Benedict's fault.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
I knew.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Stop means that.
Speaker 6 (13:23):

Whoever that someone is followed gates to your offers and
killed him to keep him from finding out the name.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
On this grazetom here.
Speaker 7 (13:33):

Speaker 8 (14:53):
I hear shooting.
Speaker 1 (14:54):

Speaker 7 (14:55):
And of course you didn't do the shooting yourself. No, no, no,
I shoot no one all at all.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Right, take it easy at him.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
You made a telephone call a couple of hours ago,
I believe, called miss Kay Florian at the Melbourne Arms
the apartment. Whie I know, no way traced the phone
calling your cottage. I wanted to see her, but she
wouldn't let you come to her apartment. No on, my boys, Okay,
if we won't talk, we'll have to run him in.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Come on, anno, you're going down the headquarters.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
No no, no, thait I I talk.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I said you everything that's better. You did call me Floria, right?
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:30):
What about about the jewels, the Felix Scoff jewels, Yeah,
got sin missus Florian Hester. But I tell you, nick,
oh on, I don't. How do you know if she
has them?
Speaker 8 (15:40):
Last night she come here? He digged him up. I
see her do it. I didn't know who she was.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
I go to Bessic twelve three years ago.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
I see her.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
So after the phone her they got the jewels? You
called her and demanded money to keep quiet.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
About the fact that she had him is at it?
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
You think he's telling the truth, Nick, Well, there's one
way to find out that they. How's that, Sargan by
talking to kay Florian like I wanted to do in
the first place. We've got to do Maddie, all right,
then what are we waiting for. Let's go see the
Florian Dane for my dough. She's got a murder to explain.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
That's one thing you're overlooking, Maddy.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Oh yeah, what's According to Watto, the Florian woman dug
up the jewels last night?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
So what time was it out of?
Speaker 8 (16:22):
About ten o'clock?
Speaker 7 (16:23):
In other words, Maddie, before Sammy Gates was killed, she
already had the jewels.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
What difference did it make.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
To her whether Sammy found out where they were buried?
Nick's got a point, Nah, I don't see it. If
Gates hadn't found the jewels behind this gravestone, he.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Had a go on ass of the Florian babe.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
So she bumped him off, not only to protect the jewels,
but to keep Gates from puffing her off. Go that's up,
don't it?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Maybe, Maddie, maybe not. We'll know after we hear her story.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Let's go.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Well, come on, come on, sister, come on talk and
I'm telling you I got nothing to talk about.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
We know you have a garth jewels, Miss Lurian. Where
are they?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I never heard of him?
Speaker 7 (17:12):
You dug up the jewels from behind the gravestone and
Wildwood Cemetery between nine and ten o'clock last night.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Who take that auto? He told us his story, Miss Florian.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
I'll he tried to shake you down for some money
to keep it quiet as you have a jewel, right.
Speaker 10 (17:26):

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Gates and Kay Florian. We take up our story.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
It's several hours after the Florian woman's death that all
of Mix's office is just opening.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Is mister in this by Oh mister Garth, yes, miss
in his laboratory.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
He calls it. Told me that he recovered my jewel.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Oh, yes he has.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
If you're away just a moment, I'll tell him you're here.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Miss kid Scout is here.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Oh good, I'll see him right away. Ask him to command,
Will you right.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Mister Gars when you step in here, please.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Hello misc Good morning, mister guard. Well here are your
long lost jewel.
Speaker 10 (20:48):
Oh, mister Carr, I don't know how to thank you for.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
I don't need to your insurance companile do that. I
believe they are here, except one of the larger pearls.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
I have it in this flag. Why what on earth
did you put it in the glass of water?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
For it is a water, mister Garth, it's a solution
of acid.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I seek, yes acid. You see the pearl just as
round and firm as it was when I dropped it
in the glass two hours ago. You know what that means, mister.
Speaker 10 (21:18):
Gar Then right where you are, both of you, don't move.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
This was always loaded and I have no qualms.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
About killing We know that Gars after what you did
to Sammy Gates and Cave Florium. You mean O's yes,
he's the murderer pepys and the motives right here in
my hands. The pearl and this last word genuine not
have been dissolved by the acid. But it's a phony,
like all the rest of Felix Garth's jewel.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
It's very clever you to discover that content. They're the
best umittation's money could buyd but.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
Hardly worth the fifty thousands you collected from the insurance
company after they were stolen.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
And make them as it's so worse, misk He.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Did, but he didn't know it.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Oh, no one in the world knew it, but you
did they God, he killed Sammy Gates to keep him
from finding out, and he killed Kay Florian after.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
She found out.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
I had no intention of killing either.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Of him, but it was the only way you could
keep the insurance company from nailing you for fraud. When
Gates told you he could find the duels, who got panicky,
but you follow him here when he caught you spying
on him and swung, I knew he killed him and
you tried to do the same thing to work out
in wild Wood.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Lawn had already dug up the stool.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
N they want you to kill the very due he went.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
I began to say glory about me.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Well, it helps I'd already eliminated her because you wouldn't
have shouted out there in the great yard.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
He already had the duel.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
The white should be Oh, I see the person who
was doing the shooting didn't know if the jewels had
already been taken out of the gravy exactly, so that
automatically eliminated out of too. Now that nobody left but Garth,
who had any interest in the duel. He had been
paid off for them, so he wouldn't.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Kill or other like that.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
I realized him might kill to keep them from dealing
each other, because they wouldn't want the insurance company to
know they weren't genuine.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
But how did he help the square with the insurance
company even if he did get his hands on them.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Oh, that wouldn't have get hard. Guard's made a lot
of money since the selected that fifty thousand. It was
broke when he throws the real jewels after having them insured.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
But today he's rich.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
M He figured he'd pay back the insurance company and
teach the fornies and no one would be the wisest.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
Mm h.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
I get it all now, there except one thing.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Why wasn't Garth horribly burned when you threw that accid
in the space.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
That's easy.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
It wasn't burned because it wasn't accid. What you no,
nothing but watery, I didn't need accid to test that pearl.
One good look under my microscope was enough.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Then why all that business about the pearl being an
acid showmanship?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Testy Shuman.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
When I threw that water on Gard's face, he was
so sure it.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Was acid he raised his hand to his eyes and
dropped his gun.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Oh well, for Heaven's shape.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
From the way he howled, I thought.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Curi's then burns. I imagine he will be, But I'm
satisfied to leave the burning of Felix Gard to the
proper authorities.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Well, Nick, what about next week's adventure and
Soper to eight four eight. That is all.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
You post war All Dutch Cleanser, famous for chasing dirt,

(00:30):
responsible and daring characters in all detective fiction, Nick Carter,
Master detective.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Gods. I guess don't like tramping around an old sanitari
in the middle of battle.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Careful, Smaller grape stones are hardest.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
See you're telling me, I almost took my neck on.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Beasty lookers at headstone there at or don't you see
the name on it?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
But so Watney. This grave holds the key to the
whole mystery.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now the case of the Graveyard Gunman. The day's exciting
adventures darring Ron Clark as Nick Carter, brought to you

story opens, the fumblance quiet of Patty Bowen's room is
suddenly broken by the lush, urgent jangly of the telephone.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Oh hello, Patty, this is Nick.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Oh at two o'clock in the morning, where are you gone?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Of the Holiside Bureau in Maddy's office.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Well, what's happening.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Remember Nate Benedict, the guy who stole the Phoenix Garso.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Why of course you have spending up about three years ago.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
Well, he escaped from the pan about ten o'clock last night.
Do yees a big you're up in twenty minutes, Petty,
I put Benedict in prison and I'm going to see
that he goes back.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Well, what are we going to do with the office you, mad?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Are A couple of things.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
I want to check up on the name and address
of night Benedict's girlfriend, for one.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
So I remember her name. It was Kay Florian.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Why, yes, that's its Do.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
You think Thandy will try to contract her?
Speaker 8 (02:28):
You might.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
One thing we can be sure of.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
He'll go after the fifty thousand dollars worth of jewels
he hit somewhere.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Yes, I wonder where he hit them.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
You're not the only one who wondered, Petty. When Benedict
refused to talk to the insurance company had to pay
off Felix Scott collected the full fifty thousand.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well here we are.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
I've got my key right here in this oh oh un.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Closely, I'll snap on the light for him.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
I've got him, great, sir.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
The place is a shambled mak. He's been a fighting
here certainly looks that way and got.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
A load of that filing cabinet. Oh, somebody's forced it open.
Go have a look at my office, right.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Take your office and ran tacked too.
Speaker 9 (03:22):
Someone must look over there by your desk is a man.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Lying on the floor and I'm a light.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Ho is it we like?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Run?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I'm over.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Oh, but I.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Don't know who we have, Patsy, I've no use asking him.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
He's been murdered.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
I got Maddie on the phone.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
It he'll be right over.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Oh, thanks, Patty.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Did you find anything on the body to identify him?
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Just a slip of paper in his pockets with an
address on it.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Nine ten, nineteen ten, nineteen Willow Hill Drive.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Uh huh?
Speaker 6 (03:59):
What do you suppose he was asking it?
Speaker 7 (04:01):
Whatever it was, it was important enough for someone to
follow him here and take it away from him as
he put up a fight exactly. My guess is that
whoever killed and didn't mean to do it here in
the office when the fight started, there wasn't any choice.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Maybe you can find out what they wanted if we
check our cross files against the files in the drawer
that was forced open.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
That'll tell us of a file folder is missing.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
That's my girl, good idea.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
I'll read the names of the cross file and you
check them against the holders in the drawer. You ready,
Adam Albright, Anderson, Apple Gates, Fabcock Banister parton Benedict.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, the file I.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Made miss him five hours ago Benedict escaped from prison.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That's no coincidence.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
But why would he want all files card in his
own case? Why would anyone wanted?
Speaker 7 (04:51):
The answer to that is somewhere on this cross file card.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You mean, because it contains all the information we had
on the original card, the one that smith.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Yeah, here's everything down to Benedict's family name.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
His family name.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
He has to change his name years ago. His father's
name was Bennededetteville.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Oh, according to the card it was, that's straight. Whatn
The address written on that slip of paper I found
on the dead man was ten Lane, ten Willow Hill, Fife.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
You know who's address that is? Now?
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Who's Felix gard Sip the.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Man Benedick stole the jewel star.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
Very queen.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
I see as soon as Mary gets here to take
over we're going to pay a call on mister Felix Garth.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Uh, mister Carter, just going sorry.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
To break in on you at this hour, mister Garth.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
But oh, let go, mister Carter.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
There's another respect I just heard of late Benedict's escaping.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
Was about to call yous call me? Why about his visitor?
I had yesterday?
Speaker 6 (06:01):
So I missed the guy.
Speaker 10 (06:02):
Really, he wouldn't give me his name, but he said
he could find out where BENEFIT had hidden my jewels.
That's so yes, and he offered to get them for
me if I paid five thousand dollars.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
And you are bringing why not?
Speaker 10 (06:15):
The insurance company is offering you reward of five thousand
dollars for the jewel.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
What if this man look like their guard? Oh?
Speaker 10 (06:21):
He was rather none. The script characters small Sandy here
war a gray peace like.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
To the guard.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Lets than an hour ago, we found that man in
my office, murdered bridge good heavens. Oh excuse me, hello,
there's a.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Sergeant Mathison of a homicide bureau.
Speaker 1 (06:42):

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Oh thanks, hello, it's married Nick. We've identified the guy
you found in your office.

to be waiting out the front.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Huh huh, he wants to be there.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
When we quested Benedict's girl, Kay Floria, what did you expect.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
To find out?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I don't know, Patty a as I'm concerned.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
The only question I want answered is what was on
that file card that would have told Sammy Gates where
the phelix got jewels are hitting?
Speaker 8 (07:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Sure that was why Gas was left of the file right.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
The only way it heads up Gates was Benedict's cell
map and prison. Yeah, evidently he learned enough from Benedict
and no he could locate the jewels from something in.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Our pide and he tried to do it and then
they throw pretty crown. Gates trailed him to our office.
Isn't surprise him there and there was a fight and
Gates took skills.

Well, what do you know about this?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
What's happened there?
Speaker 7 (10:09):
The state police cornered Nate Benedict a half hour ago.
There was a gun battles and Benedict was killed.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Why did they find him?
Speaker 8 (10:16):
That's what's the screwing this. He was only five miles
from his penitentiary when he was trapped. He never got any.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Father, only five miles.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
But what that movie.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
He hasn't even.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Been in town, right, and that means that our theory
is blown up in our faces.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Nate Benedict couldn't have murdered Sammy Gates.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Momentarily stunned by the unexpected use of Nate Benedict's death,
Nick realized that what seemed to be an open and
shut case has suddenly developed into a deep mystery, and
that he's dealing with a daring and desperate murderer. We'll
see what happens in just a moment. Now back to
the case of a graveyard Gun Today's adventure with Nick
(11:01):
Carter Robbed You buy a new post.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
War all that splendor.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
As we pick up our story, Nick, Patsy, and Maddie.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Have returned to Nick's office following the news of Nate
Benedic's death.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
A death let us turn the murder of Sammy Gates
from what.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Appeared to be a clare cut case into a perplexing mystery.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Hell with Benedict dead.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
I admit I'm stimy, Nick, Where do we go from here?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
At only one other lead, Maddy?
Speaker 7 (11:27):
There was sun the fact that I first arrested Benedict
out in Wildwood Cemetery, And that's the night his girlfriend
Kay Florian got a phone call from out there. So
we thought the call came from Bennity, sure, but now
we know it couldn't have right, So who was it?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
The course?
Speaker 8 (11:40):
What else?
Speaker 6 (11:41):
The size and trace, the cause of the carecase's cottage?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Friend?
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Wouldn't the caretaker be worth talking to?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Cos?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Oh you Nick? We're not going out to Wildwood Cemetery?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Everything else in this case has turned out to be
a dead end, so why not try cemetery?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Oh goshness, I just don't like stranding around a grave
yard in the middle of the night.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
What's the debt here? The care takers and home is
probably just dark?
Speaker 7 (12:13):
So why don't we grow?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Or they may be back at any minute?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Matic and I think it's worth hanging around for amorrow.
And that's what it's like.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
Oh but.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Hard to see the smaller gravestone.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
You're telling me almost.
Speaker 2 (12:26):

Speaker 6 (12:28):
What are you looking at?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
The headstone? There? And one of my flashes on you

Speaker 7 (12:32):
Just another headstone as far as I'm concerned, look at the.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Name Joseph Bendetta. They're a detto this step with the
name on the cross wild cards.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
What are you talking about, Maddae Joseph Benadette of the
man who's buried here with Night Benedict's father, It's well,

That's what Danny Gates was acting our files. Nate Benedict's
family name right, H must have known that.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
I arrested Benedict out here in this cemetery. Apparently he'd
won the information out of Benedict somehow that the jewels
are buried behind his father don't.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
Know, which means that to find the jewels all he
had to do was to find.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Out the right name of Benedict's fault.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
I knew.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Stop means that.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Someone besides Benedict knew the jewels were buried here, and.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Whoever that someone is followed gates to your offers and
killed him to keep him from finding out the name.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
On this grazetom here.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
Maybe right, Maddy you pet, I'm right and I'll lay
you rods. I know who it was, Kay Florins. The
only one that could have been Kay Floyd.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
She was Nate's girlfriend. She's the only one to.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Hit the clowns.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Stay behind the stone shooting it up.

Come on, let's take a look at those bushes.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Careful mate, heah, I said the butt right here?
Speaker 8 (14:25):
No one is.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
What is it?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
He's a man standing right over there.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Say you are all of you? What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Why do you do all the shooting?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Maybe you could answer that question, brother, but.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
I'm not gun pow. You're talking to the police.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Police.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Yeah, yeah, who are you?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
My name is Otto. I can't take your cemetery, so
you're the caretaker.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Huh yeah, I come home.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
I hear shooting.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I run out here.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
And of course you didn't do the shooting yourself. No, no, no,
I shoot no one all at all.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Right, take it easy at him.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
You made a telephone call a couple of hours ago,
I believe, called miss Kay Florian at the Melbourne Arms
the apartment. Whie I know, no way traced the phone
calling your cottage. I wanted to see her, but she
wouldn't let you come to her apartment. No on, my boys, Okay,
if we won't talk, we'll have to run him in.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Come on, anno, you're going down the headquarters.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
No no, no, thait I I talk.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I said you everything that's better. You did call me Floria, right?
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:30):
What about about the jewels, the Felix Scoff jewels, Yeah,
got sin missus Florian Hester. But I tell you, nick,
oh on, I don't. How do you know if she
has them?
Speaker 8 (15:40):
Last night she come here? He digged him up. I
see her do it. I didn't know who she was.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
I go to Bessic twelve three years ago.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
I see her.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
So after the phone her they got the jewels? You
called her and demanded money to keep quiet.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
About the fact that she had him is at it?
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
You think he's telling the truth, Nick, Well, there's one
way to find out that they. How's that, Sargan by
talking to kay Florian like I wanted to do in
the first place. We've got to do Maddie, all right,
then what are we waiting for. Let's go see the
Florian Dane for my dough. She's got a murder to explain.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
That's one thing you're overlooking, Maddy.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Oh yeah, what's According to Watto, the Florian woman dug
up the jewels last night?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
So what time was it out of?
Speaker 8 (16:22):
About ten o'clock?
Speaker 7 (16:23):
In other words, Maddie, before Sammy Gates was killed, she
already had the jewels.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
What difference did it make.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
To her whether Sammy found out where they were buried?
Nick's got a point, Nah, I don't see it. If
Gates hadn't found the jewels behind this gravestone, he.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Had a go on ass of the Florian babe.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
So she bumped him off, not only to protect the jewels,
but to keep Gates from puffing her off. Go that's up,
don't it?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Maybe, Maddie, maybe not. We'll know after we hear her story.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Let's go.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Well, come on, come on, sister, come on talk and
I'm telling you I got nothing to talk about.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
We know you have a garth jewels, Miss Lurian. Where
are they?
Speaker 1 (17:11):

Speaker 7 (17:12):
You dug up the jewels from behind the gravestone and
Wildwood Cemetery between nine and ten o'clock last night.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Who take that auto? He told us his story, Miss Florian.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
I'll he tried to shake you down for some money
to keep it quiet as you have a jewel, right.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
That dirty little double cross?
Speaker 11 (17:27):
All right?
Speaker 8 (17:27):
All right, well your talk now, sister.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Not much point in keeping quiet now here there?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Okay, okay, you win.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
I'll talk about plenty.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
More than your bargaining course.
Speaker 7 (17:40):

those jewels.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
It'll Floria, all right, let's have it.

I kill Sammy dates.

Were the rocks now in my bedroom under my mattress.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
I'll get him if you want me to.
Speaker 8 (17:55):

lying about not killing b I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:13):

Speaker 4 (20:04):

Speaker 2 (20:06):
It's several hours after the Florian woman's death that all
of Mix's office is just opening.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Is mister in this by Oh mister Garth, yes, miss
in his laboratory.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
He calls it. Told me that he recovered my jewel.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Oh, yes he has.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
If you're away just a moment, I'll tell him you're here.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Miss kid Scout is here.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Oh good, I'll see him right away. Ask him to command,
Will you right.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Mister Gars when you step in here, please.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Hello misc Good morning, mister guard. Well here are your
long lost jewel.
Speaker 10 (20:48):
Oh, mister Carr, I don't know how to thank you for.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
I don't need to your insurance companile do that. I
believe they are here, except one of the larger pearls.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
I have it in this flag. Why what on earth
did you put it in the glass of water?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
For it is a water, mister Garth, it's a solution
of acid.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I seek, yes acid. You see the pearl just as
round and firm as it was when I dropped it
in the glass two hours ago. You know what that means, mister.
Speaker 10 (21:18):
Gar Then right where you are, both of you, don't move.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
This was always loaded and I have no qualms.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
About killing We know that Gars after what you did
to Sammy Gates and Cave Florium. You mean O's yes,
he's the murderer pepys and the motives right here in
my hands. The pearl and this last word genuine not
have been dissolved by the acid. But it's a phony,
like all the rest of Felix Garth's jewel.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
It's very clever you to discover that content. They're the
best umittation's money could buyd but.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
Hardly worth the fifty thousands you collected from the insurance
company after they were stolen.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
And make them as it's so worse, misk He.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Did, but he didn't know it.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Oh, no one in the world knew it, but you
did they God, he killed Sammy Gates to keep him
from finding out, and he killed Kay Florian after.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
She found out.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
I had no intention of killing either.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Of him, but it was the only way you could
keep the insurance company from nailing you for fraud. When
Gates told you he could find the duels, who got panicky,
but you follow him here when he caught you spying
on him and swung, I knew he killed him and
you tried to do the same thing to work out
in wild Wood.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Lawn had already dug up the stool.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
N they want you to kill the very due he went.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
I began to say glory about me.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Well, it helps I'd already eliminated her because you wouldn't
have shouted out there in the great yard.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
He already had the duel.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
The white should be Oh, I see the person who
was doing the shooting didn't know if the jewels had
already been taken out of the gravy exactly, so that
automatically eliminated out of too. Now that nobody left but Garth,
who had any interest in the duel. He had been
paid off for them, so he wouldn't.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Kill or other like that.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
I realized him might kill to keep them from dealing
each other, because they wouldn't want the insurance company to
know they weren't genuine.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
But how did he help the square with the insurance
company even if he did get his hands on them.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Oh, that wouldn't have get hard. Guard's made a lot
of money since the selected that fifty thousand. It was
broke when he throws the real jewels after having them insured.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
But today he's rich.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
M He figured he'd pay back the insurance company and
teach the fornies and no one would be the wisest.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
Mm h.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
I get it all now, there except one thing.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Why wasn't Garth horribly burned when you threw that accid
in the space.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
That's easy.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
It wasn't burned because it wasn't accid. What you no,
nothing but watery, I didn't need accid to test that pearl.
One good look under my microscope was enough.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Then why all that business about the pearl being an
acid showmanship?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Testy Shuman.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
When I threw that water on Gard's face, he was
so sure it.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Was acid he raised his hand to his eyes and
dropped his gun.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Oh well, for Heaven's shape.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
From the way he howled, I thought.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
Curi's then burns. I imagine he will be, But I'm
satisfied to leave the burning of Felix Gard to the
proper authorities.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Well, Nick, what about next week's adventure and
