Speaker 1 (00:05):
Miss Perry, I want you to take a look at
this picture of Barclay's body.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh please, Nick wants and knows whether mister Berkeley was
lying in that same position when you left the cabin.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I'm talking about it, I said, I killed him. What
mood you want?
Speaker 4 (00:17):
I want a lot more.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I want to get you out of miss jail, and
the best way to do it is by putting someone
else in here instead.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
And now the case of the Homely Bride Today's adventure
starring Lawn Clark as Nick Carter, brought to you by
new post.
Speaker 6 (00:34):
War old Dutch cleanser.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Agnes Perry is not a pretty girl, and she's so
painfully timid that the gossips predicted she'd never get a husband,
even with her father's millions.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
But you never can tell.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
It's early evening in the Perry home as Tony Barkley,
handsome and self assured, sits facing Agnes's father and her
best friend, Linda Foresight.
Speaker 7 (00:56):
Mister Perry, I'd wrapped in to tell you that.
Speaker 8 (00:59):
Agnes won't be home for dinner tonight. You see, we're eloping.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Tony, not really. Oh, I'm so happy for you both.
Speaker 9 (01:08):
Well, I uh an elopement isn't necessary. My bofe, Agnes.
Speaker 7 (01:13):
Loves you, loves me.
Speaker 8 (01:15):
Huh, she's mad about me.
Speaker 10 (01:17):
Tony, you plowed. Oh, give me a handkerchief somebody next.
And don't say I'm cry either. It's just that my
glasses are getting misty.
Speaker 8 (01:25):
Agnes and I plan to meet in a little town
upstate and be married tonight. In fact, she's waiting there
for me.
Speaker 9 (01:32):
Now, well, I I don't understand. Isn't it a bit
unusual to inform the bride's father before an elopement.
Speaker 8 (01:40):
Yes, but in this case it makes no difference. You
couldn't stop us if you wanted, But I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Want to, my boy.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Of course, I don't know you very well.
Speaker 9 (01:48):
But uh, just before you came here from the West Coast,
we had a letter from my old friend, Judge Hannilin.
Speaker 8 (01:53):
I know it, a letter telling you that I was
a fine young man, plenty of money.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Good family.
Speaker 8 (02:00):
How did you la that I wrote the letter myself?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
What?
Speaker 8 (02:04):
And since Judge Hamilton has been abroad, naturally you haven't
been able to check up on you wrote that letter? Yes,
forgery is one of my many accomplishments.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
You should ask the police about me. I'm quite a
notorious character.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Really, you're joking, not at all.
Speaker 8 (02:20):
I have a very interesting record swindling, fraud, picking pockets,
armed robbery.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Of course, those.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
When I was younger, and my methods were more crude
than they are now.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Barclay.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
Incidentally, my real name is Tony Blaize. What's the point
of all this, Well, I was thinking it's going to
be a wonderful.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Story for the newspapers.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Millionaire's daughter wedd's criminal.
Speaker 9 (02:48):
I'm beginning to understand you'll think i'll pay you not
to marry my daughter.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
Is that it precisely the only way to stop the
wedding now, mister Perry, is by writing me a check
for one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
One hundred thousands. While you're out of your mind.
Speaker 10 (03:05):
Mister Perry, you know what would happen to her sensitive
girl like Agnes if she married this man. You can
afford the money for Agnes's sake.
Speaker 9 (03:14):
Pay a minute, I'll give you ten thousand, not one
cent more.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
Oh no, marrying Agnes will be much more profitable than that.
To me, you're not serious, Oh but I am, my dear.
I've just decided in a few months mister Perry will
be willing to pay twice one hundred thousand for a nice,
quiet divorce if I make agnes I'm happy enough, and
believe me, I can and will when the call of
(03:36):
police say where you are, Miss Foresight.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
That revolter doesn't frighten me.
Speaker 8 (03:41):
If either of you charming people tries to stop me,
I'll show you I'm not bluffy.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
If you dare to marry her, don't you tell me.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
All about it when I return from my honeymoon, Miss Foresight.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
It's been almost an hour since he.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Left, mister Carter. I tried everywhere to find you.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I'm sorry, mister Perry, but Miss Boone and I were
both out of the office.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
We've got to stop them, no matter what it costs.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Well, it isn't money that's important now, mister Perry. It's time.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But they can't get married tonight, Nick, even if they
could get a license, there's a three day waiting period
in this state.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
If he doesn't have a license already, Patsy, and if
they plan to get married in this state.
Speaker 9 (04:26):
There were only some way to warn every minister and
justice of the peace in this part of the country,
and to tell.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Them wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Huh, there is a way by radio. Why yeah, the

of mine, And if you let us run an announcement
every now and then, Oh no.
Speaker 9 (04:42):
No, we can't put the story on the air, Carter,
I think of the scandal.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Mister Perry. The important thing is to keep your daughter
from marrying this man, isn't it.
Speaker 11 (04:49):
I yes, of course, all right, go ahead with the
radio announcement's Carter, I.
Speaker 3 (05:07):

Huh.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
I don't want my bride feeling unhappy.
Speaker 9 (06:04):

state line. We ask all ministers and justices of the
peace who may hear this broadcast not to marry any
(06:25):
couple answering the description we have just given you, and
to communicate with the station immediately. The man has boasted
that the marriage is merely an attempt to extort money
from the girl's father, and that he has a long
criminal record. M your cooperation, many, We now resume our
midnight Musicam.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Why did he have to agree about the suit case?

Baby who protects that?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Don't lie to me.
Speaker 10 (07:13):
It was on the radio that you're a criminal, that
you only married me because of my father's money.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
All right, so I did.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
Why else would anyone marry a stupid little frump like you?

Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's the Perry.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Where have you been?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
You realize it's eight o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
I've been walking the streets for hours and we didn't
hear anything.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
By midnight.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I knew it wasn't any youth.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, it's a good thing somebody stayed here at the
radio station. Nick's on the phone.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Now you mean they've been found?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I think, so listen.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I see well, thank you, mister Maglie. Yes, I'm sorry too,
but it was good.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Of you to call good guy who was a car
a Justice of the Peace from Upstates.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I heard the announcement of the morning newscast.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Juice of the Peace.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
You mean they're married, yes, oh, he said, he performed
the ceremony at ten thirty last night. I see, well,
I suppose there's nothing to do now but go home
and wait.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Oh, I'll get it.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Pacy h you better go tell you a nunch or
not to broadcast any more of those notices.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
All right, Nick Carter speaking.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
This is Linda Foresyth. Mister Carter is Agnes's father there.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Oh, yes, that's the moment for you, mister Perry, Miss Forsy.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Oh, I asked Linda to stay at my house last night.
I wonder if Agnes is called Hello.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Linda, mister Perry, I have wonderful news. Agnes is back.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
She's there at the house now.
Speaker 10 (09:36):
Yes, she must have come home during the night sometimes
that man with a no. One of the maids found
Agnes to sleep in her own room a few minutes ago.
But but she's locked herself.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
In and won't talk to me.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
I know it will be home in ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Leave me alone home. I won't tell you anything about it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But miss Perry, I know you and Tony Blaize are married.
It is naturally your father wants to know why you
came home alone.
Speaker 10 (10:08):
Nick, Why don't you give her a chance to get
control of herself before you start firing question better?
Speaker 9 (10:13):
Maybe you're right, Patsy, Perhaps you would feel better if
you had some breakfast eggs.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I don't want anything.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
My big pardon, yes, gardon.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
There's a gentleman who insists, upon seeing miss Agnes.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
My daughter isn't saying anyone tell him to go away.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
It wouldn't do any good if he did, tell me.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Missus Perry medicine alone, Patsy, any client matter?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Official business?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Make what do you mean official business? I didn't send
for the police.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I didn't do anything.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Not there. He isn't here to see.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
You, And that's where you're wrong, mister Perry. I'm here
to arrest your daughter on suspicion of murder.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Agless Perry's despair is equaled by the shock and grief
in the eyes of her father as Mattie makes the arrested.
We'll see what happens in just a moment. Now back
to the case of the homely bride. Today's adventure with
Nick Carter walked to you by new post war old
(11:14):
Dutch Twinser. It's a couple of hours later and at
the police headquarters, Agnes Perry was giving her version of
what happened in the tourist cabin the night before.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
When Tony admitted that he only married me in order
to get money out of father. I said, I was
going home.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
He grabbed me and you had a fight.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That's when you fell against the chair near the bed
and broke.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Your watch, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
No, No, there wasn't any fight.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I noticed the crystal is missing from your watch, and
we found thin pieces of curved glass near that upset chair.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I don't know anything about that.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Okay, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
What time was all this, Well about twelve thirty I
think then.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
What happened, Well, I broke.
Speaker 10 (11:52):
Away from him right outside in my car and drove home.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And during the time it took you to get in
the car, start the motor and put it in gear.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Why didn't he.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Catch up with you?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Well, he didn't try. He only chased me as far
as the door.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
He chased you to the.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Door, yet you still found time to stop and pick
up your coat.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
No I didn't. I just ran. I didn't stop for anything.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Okay, okay, Now I'll tell you what really happened. You
fought with Tony Blaze about three o'clock, not twelve thirty,
because the medical examiner says he was shot sometime between
three and four am.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It was twelve thirty, I tell you. I mean that's
when I left the cabin. Oh, and when you.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Broke away, you didn't run out the door.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
You picked up that gun at.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
His and shuman, No, no, I didn't. After that, you
didn't need to hurry, so you got your coat and purse,
walked out.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
To the car and came up.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
It's a lie.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I didn't show him all right, then, why are your
fingerprints all over the gun? And only your finger prints?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
And told you I found it in his suitcase. I
picked it up.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Excuse me, nick, I suppose you've had ballistics check the
Revolverady be sure it's the one that killed Tony Blaze.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Well, naturally, all three bullets.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Came out of the same gun. We dug two out
of the wall, the one that missed him completely and
the one that raised his head. There was a third
boat in his heart, and I see O wires are
sure it happened at exactly three point fifteen, because Nick,
something aroused the woman who runs the camp. She realized
later it must have been the shooting. Of course, she
(13:19):
looked out her window and saw Miss Perrie here leaving.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Wearing a coat.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, a white coat you could see a mile off.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
That's how the woman knew who it was.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Miss Perry was wearing.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That same coat when she checked into the place she's lying.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I left my coat at the cabin when I ran out.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
It's not there now, Miss Perry.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
A minute, a minute, let's forget the court a minute,
Maddie about the time element.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Couldn't the woman be mistaken? Now, not a chance, Nick.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
In the first place, she looked at her clock. In
the second place, she wasn't even home until.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
After two point thirty.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh, you see, Nick, none of the other cabins were
rented last night.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
So the woman went into town to a party.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I see, you know, Miss Perry.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Everybody knows Tony Blaize was a king size heel.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
So maybe if you would admit the truth.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
To trap me, okay, okay, then I'll have to hold
her for the grand jewelry, and I hope you've got
a better story then than you have now.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Agnes accused of murder.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
Policemen here in my home searching for evidence.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
Please don't worry, mister Perry. No jury will ever convict
Agnes under the circumstances.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Maybe they won't miss for start, or she'd admit the circumstances.
And if she sticks to the story she told at headquarters,
she may be charged with first degree murder.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
You're probably right, Carter. You and I can see that
Agnes is lying.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And why should she lie about such unimportant things?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
The time? And whether or not she was wearing a coat?
Speaker 10 (15:00):
Erica less All, you don't know Agnes as I do,
mister Carter. She's always been terribly shy, frightened of everybody.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
How long have you known her, Miss Forsyde.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Well, only about six months really, But but we've been
like sister Ohnick that I asked Gordon of the butler,
you know, Oh, yes, yes, sir, well, I asked him
to come down here and tell you what he just
tell Sergeant Mathison.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
Tell him Gordon, Well, sir, it's just that I heard
miss Agnes come home last night. And why didn't you
tell somebody Gordon you knew how frantic we all am.
I'm sorry, mister Perry, but I didn't know it was
miss Agnes at the time.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
I thought it was you, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Why should you think that could have have been miss
forsyde here of one of the servants.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Oh no, sir. The only person for the.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
Latch key are Miss Agnes, mister Perry, and myself, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Anyone else would have to ring the door.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Lett of three fifteen. The time would be just about right,
That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
I found it.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
What matter the white coat Miss Perry said she didn't
wear home.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
She tried to burn it in the furnace.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
But there's still plenty left for identification.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
And look at those blood stains.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Is that Agnes's coat, mister Perry. Yes, eh, I'm afraid
it is.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And it's the last piece of evidence needed to smash
that story of hers to smither reasons.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
WHOA what's the youth?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yes, yes, yes, I shot.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Him knowing if you said this much, please Miss Perry,
don't look on this tentlemens.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Patsy and I came here to the jail hoping we
could help you.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
That's the truth, miss Perry. Why don't you tell Nick
just what happened. Willie was going to hit me.
Speaker 10 (17:15):
I warned him to stair away, but he kept coming
with that awful look on his face.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
It was almost time of my mind was here. I
didn't even realize what I was doing. D Look, you
mustn't get excited. You see nigga was self defense.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Yeah, that's the next thing is to prove it.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Oh well, can you with everybody lying about me? Nobody's
lying about you. You're all lying that woman in the camp,
the police, even Gordon.
Speaker 10 (17:37):
They lied about the coat, about the time it happened,
even about by breaking my watch.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You still insist that the shooting took place at twelve
thirty and that you came back home without your coat.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Of course I do, because it's the truth.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And you didn't fail against that chair and break your watch, Chris,
I didn't fall against.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Anything, Lucks Perry, how many times did you fire that revolver?
Speaker 7 (17:59):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I don't know, I don't know. I wait, I have
a picture here that the police photographer took her the body.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I want to see it. You've got you.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
This is important all right, Now tell me was this
the way he was lying when you left the cabin?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
No? No, he was born on his side and not
next to the bay. He was over by the easy chair.
I must have lived long enough to crawl a few feet.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
That last bullet killed him.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Instantly, Stop talking about it, I said, I killedn't what boat.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
I want a lot more, Miss Perry.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I want to get you out of his cell, and
the best way to do it is by putting someone
else here instead.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Hello, Sergeant Matthison, this is Patsy Nick just got back
to the office and he wants to know whether you
have any report on those fingerprints yet.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
And the broken glass tube.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I mean, yes, the glass Fragment's two sergeant, Okay, I'll
hold on. He's gone for the report, now made good?
Why are these sudden interesting fingerprints? You know, the only
prince on the revolve of the kill Tony Blaze was Agnes's.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
I know, but these are different.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I got one of them from a teacup and the
other off the lock button on the Perry's front door
off the What a little button on the lock that
you press.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
When you want to leave the door off the latch?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
But what the oh, yes, sergeant, they were. And how
about the glass? I see, yes, yes, I'll tellen goodbye.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
What did he say?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Those fingerprints were both made by the same person, But
it wasn't Agnes Perry.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
That's what I hoped for.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
And how about the pieces of glass?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Man, It seems that Agnes are telling the truth about
her watch. At least those fragments weren't from a watch crystal.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
After all, they want to go glass.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
That makes things more interesting. Gotta get your hat, Patsy,
we're going to travel.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
I did it with so mountainous.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Do you really think you can do anything to help agnest,
mister Carter.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
I do.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
As a matter of fact, I intend to prove that
Agnes Perry didn't kill.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Her husband, but she consents.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I know she did. But I found a fingerprint on
the last button of the front door. That's going to
convict the real murderer.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I don't understand. He is to turn, Miss for Side,
I almost missed that.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah, and you turned right, Miss Forteside. I told you
to make a left turn.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Oh oh, how stupid of me.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I'll turn around. No, no, never mind. The tourist camp
is on this road. But how did you know what
why I didn't the ros over the clish.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
It's all right, I just swer to avoid that dog.
I didn't see it until it was almost under our wheel.
You you almost gave me hershan. Yes, it must be
one hundred feet down to the river.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Miss Porsyde probably didn't notice the dog because she doesn't
see so well without her glasses.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Patsy, my glasses.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
How did you know that I usually wear them while driving,
don't you?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Of course I do.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
But they're broken, aren't they?
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Miss?
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Foresayd you've broke them last night in the tourist cabin
where you killed Tony Blaze.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
That's not only ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
You say you've never been over this road before. I
haven't yet. Because you were excited, you took the right
hand turn, even though I purposely told you to turn left.
That doesn't mean anything, I'd say. It means you made
the same trip before last night, when you slipped the
latch on the front door of the Perry home so
that you could get back in unobserved.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I did no such thing.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Oh yes you did. Your fingerprint was on the push
button of the automatic luck, the same print you left
on the teacup this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Suppose I did touch that push button. You still can't
prove I was ever in that cabin.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I think we can by having an oculust compare the
pieces of broken glass found in the cabin with a
prescription for your eyeglasses.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
All right, smart boy, So I did kill him, but
I won't go to the chair voice.
Speaker 12 (22:05):
I'd rather die this way.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Linda Foresight twist the wheel of the speeding car towards
the edge of the cliff with its hundred foot drop,
intending to kill not only herself but Nick and Passy
as well.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
We'll see what happens in just a moment.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Now for the conclusion of the case of the Homely Bride, Today's.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Adventure with Nick Carter drop.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
To you by new.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Post war old Dutch cleanser.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Rather than take a chance on the electric chair, Linda
foresythe turns the wheel of a past moving car to
the side of the bottom road, where there's a sheer
one hundred foot drop.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
The wheel.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Yes, your pat.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Kevin, we had a tree instead of going on.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah, I managed to twish the wheel enough to avoid that.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
But even hitting a tree at that speed, I mean,
why are we smashed up?
Speaker 8 (23:08):
More?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
I managed to get my foot on the brake and
jammed it down high.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Why did you have to go snooping around? They'd never
acquitted Agnes.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
But but it made me a different story for you.
Why did you kill Tony Blaze? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
He doubled cross me. I was the one he was
going to marry, not Agnes. He said it would only
be a bluff to get money out of her father.
That you were in on the whole scheme. Of course
I was.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Tony would never have been able to meet Agnes if
I hadn't made friends.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
With her and introduced him.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
And then you stayed right with her, so that you're
gonna encourage the courtship.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I did it because I loved him and he didn't
love me. We were going to take the money get married.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Many and then he decided to be more profitable in
the long run to marry Agnes and collect afterwards.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
Yes, I knew where they'd gone, so I came up
here to have it out with him, and then he
got nasty.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
He hit me.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
It was us all over the chair and broke your glasses. Yes,
I must have gone crazy.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
I grabbed up the gun.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Agnes said, she shot him. She did.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
One bullet went wild, and another grazed his head and
made him unconscious.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
He just come out of it a little while before
I got there.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
You got the idea of putting the blame on her.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
Yes, I was sure her fingerprints were still on the gun.
Tony was still groggy. He didn't notice what I.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Was doing, so I picked it up with my handkerchief
and finished the job.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Then you put on Agnes's white coat before leaving the cabin,
so that if anyone saw you they think it was she.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
That's right. I don't know, miss Fortsight.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
But since you're so fond of wearing Agnes Perry's clothes,
we'll see how that prison uniform of hers will fit you.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Well, Nick, what about the adventure new post war old
Dutch cleanser will bring us next week.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
It's a story, Mike, about a politician who found an
Oriental dancer in his bathto.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Dead, And Nick didn't life the costume the corpse was
wearing because it exposed an uneven suntan.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
But what suntan got to do with murder? It had
plenty to do with this one.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Mike, along with a jealous wife and a sideshow barker
and an old fashioned political rally.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Well, now that sounds like quite an adventure. What do
you call it, Nick? I call it the Case of
the Candidate's Corpse.
Miss Perry, I want you to take a look at
this picture of Barclay's body.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh please, Nick wants and knows whether mister Berkeley was
lying in that same position when you left the cabin.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I'm talking about it, I said, I killed him. What
mood you want?
Speaker 4 (00:17):
I want a lot more.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I want to get you out of miss jail, and
the best way to do it is by putting someone
else in here instead.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
And now the case of the Homely Bride Today's adventure
starring Lawn Clark as Nick Carter, brought to you by
new post.
Speaker 6 (00:34):
War old Dutch cleanser.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Agnes Perry is not a pretty girl, and she's so
painfully timid that the gossips predicted she'd never get a husband,
even with her father's millions.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
But you never can tell.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
It's early evening in the Perry home as Tony Barkley,
handsome and self assured, sits facing Agnes's father and her
best friend, Linda Foresight.
Speaker 7 (00:56):
Mister Perry, I'd wrapped in to tell you that.
Speaker 8 (00:59):
Agnes won't be home for dinner tonight. You see, we're eloping.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Tony, not really. Oh, I'm so happy for you both.
Speaker 9 (01:08):
Well, I uh an elopement isn't necessary. My bofe, Agnes.
Speaker 7 (01:13):
Loves you, loves me.
Speaker 8 (01:15):
Huh, she's mad about me.
Speaker 10 (01:17):
Tony, you plowed. Oh, give me a handkerchief somebody next.
And don't say I'm cry either. It's just that my
glasses are getting misty.
Speaker 8 (01:25):
Agnes and I plan to meet in a little town
upstate and be married tonight. In fact, she's waiting there
for me.
Speaker 9 (01:32):
Now, well, I I don't understand. Isn't it a bit
unusual to inform the bride's father before an elopement.
Speaker 8 (01:40):
Yes, but in this case it makes no difference. You
couldn't stop us if you wanted, But I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Want to, my boy.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Of course, I don't know you very well.
Speaker 9 (01:48):
But uh, just before you came here from the West Coast,
we had a letter from my old friend, Judge Hannilin.
Speaker 8 (01:53):
I know it, a letter telling you that I was
a fine young man, plenty of money.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Good family.
Speaker 8 (02:00):
How did you la that I wrote the letter myself?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
What?
Speaker 8 (02:04):
And since Judge Hamilton has been abroad, naturally you haven't
been able to check up on you wrote that letter? Yes,
forgery is one of my many accomplishments.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
You should ask the police about me. I'm quite a
notorious character.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Really, you're joking, not at all.
Speaker 8 (02:20):
I have a very interesting record swindling, fraud, picking pockets,
armed robbery.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Of course, those.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
When I was younger, and my methods were more crude
than they are now.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Barclay.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
Incidentally, my real name is Tony Blaize. What's the point
of all this, Well, I was thinking it's going to
be a wonderful.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Story for the newspapers.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Millionaire's daughter wedd's criminal.
Speaker 9 (02:48):
I'm beginning to understand you'll think i'll pay you not
to marry my daughter.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
Is that it precisely the only way to stop the
wedding now, mister Perry, is by writing me a check
for one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
One hundred thousands. While you're out of your mind.
Speaker 10 (03:05):
Mister Perry, you know what would happen to her sensitive
girl like Agnes if she married this man. You can
afford the money for Agnes's sake.
Speaker 9 (03:14):
Pay a minute, I'll give you ten thousand, not one
cent more.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
Oh no, marrying Agnes will be much more profitable than that.
To me, you're not serious, Oh but I am, my dear.
I've just decided in a few months mister Perry will
be willing to pay twice one hundred thousand for a nice,
quiet divorce if I make agnes I'm happy enough, and
believe me, I can and will when the call of
(03:36):
police say where you are, Miss Foresight.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
That revolter doesn't frighten me.
Speaker 8 (03:41):
If either of you charming people tries to stop me,
I'll show you I'm not bluffy.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
If you dare to marry her, don't you tell me.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
All about it when I return from my honeymoon, Miss Foresight.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
It's been almost an hour since he.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Left, mister Carter. I tried everywhere to find you.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I'm sorry, mister Perry, but Miss Boone and I were
both out of the office.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
We've got to stop them, no matter what it costs.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Well, it isn't money that's important now, mister Perry. It's time.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But they can't get married tonight, Nick, even if they
could get a license, there's a three day waiting period
in this state.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
If he doesn't have a license already, Patsy, and if
they plan to get married in this state.
Speaker 9 (04:26):
There were only some way to warn every minister and
justice of the peace in this part of the country,
and to tell.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Them wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Huh, there is a way by radio. Why yeah, the
station manager of w q x Q as a friend
of mine, And if you let us run an announcement
every now and then, Oh no.
Speaker 9 (04:42):
No, we can't put the story on the air, Carter,
I think of the scandal.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Mister Perry. The important thing is to keep your daughter
from marrying this man, isn't it.
Speaker 11 (04:49):
I yes, of course, all right, go ahead with the
radio announcement's Carter, I.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Ag mis Kathy Anthony to my lawful wedded husband, to love, honor,
and cherish, so long as when both.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
May live, and the shoes the power versus in me.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I know.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
Well, this is our cabanegans. Not much of a honeymoon cottage,
you said.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Oh I don't mind, darling, Nothing matters except that we're married. Oh, Tony,
I'm too happy.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
Stop there, that's the girl.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Oh I better.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
We'll put the car on the site.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
I don't want anybody to spot it, alright, darling.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And while you're going to unpack your suitcase for you.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
My suit case, what, Tony is?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Who are going to war? I?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
I know, darling, but I'm rather fussy about my things.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Oh look, there's a radio in this cabin.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Who can get some music?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Huh.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
I don't want my bride feeling unhappy.
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Yes, I believe to be in the vicinity of the
state line. We ask all ministers and justices of the
peace who may hear this broadcast not to marry any
(06:25):
couple answering the description we have just given you, and
to communicate with the station immediately. The man has boasted
that the marriage is merely an attempt to extort money
from the girl's father, and that he has a long
criminal record. M your cooperation, many, We now resume our
midnight Musicam.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Why did he have to agree about the suit case?
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Is if he had something in it that he didn't
want me to see.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I've got to know. I've got to But I.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Told you not go up in that suitcase.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Tony. Why are you carrying this my eye?
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Okay, I always carry a gun.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Baby who protects that?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Don't lie to me.
Speaker 10 (07:13):
It was on the radio that you're a criminal, that
you only married me because of my father's money.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
All right, so I did.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
Why else would anyone marry a stupid little frump like you?
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Totally?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Oh no, no, no, I don't believe it.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
I said I loved you huh, and you were sap
enough to believe me.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
But it's cash.

Speaker 7 (07:51):
To why you little slap me?
Speaker 8 (07:55):
Well, no dame can get away or that heat away
from me, Tony, I can play a rough tone.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Don't you touch me. I'll kill you what you do.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
I kid me.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
You haven't got nerve enough use that guy.
Speaker 3 (08:05):

Speaker 12 (08:10):
You you don't, little fool you?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's the Perry.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Where have you been?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
You realize it's eight o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
I've been walking the streets for hours and we didn't
hear anything.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
By midnight.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I knew it wasn't any youth.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, it's a good thing somebody stayed here at the
radio station. Nick's on the phone.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Now you mean they've been found?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I think, so listen.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I see well, thank you, mister Maglie. Yes, I'm sorry too,
but it was good.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Of you to call good guy who was a car
a Justice of the Peace from Upstates.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I heard the announcement of the morning newscast.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Juice of the Peace.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
You mean they're married, yes, oh, he said, he performed
the ceremony at ten thirty last night. I see, well,
I suppose there's nothing to do now but go home
and wait.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Oh, I'll get it.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Pacy h you better go tell you a nunch or
not to broadcast any more of those notices.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
All right, Nick Carter speaking.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
This is Linda Foresyth. Mister Carter is Agnes's father there.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Oh, yes, that's the moment for you, mister Perry, Miss Forsy.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Oh, I asked Linda to stay at my house last night.
I wonder if Agnes is called Hello.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Linda, mister Perry, I have wonderful news. Agnes is back.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
She's there at the house now.
Speaker 10 (09:36):
Yes, she must have come home during the night sometimes
that man with a no. One of the maids found
Agnes to sleep in her own room a few minutes ago.
But but she's locked herself.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
In and won't talk to me.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
I know it will be home in ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Leave me alone home. I won't tell you anything about it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But miss Perry, I know you and Tony Blaize are married.
It is naturally your father wants to know why you
came home alone.
Speaker 10 (10:08):
Nick, Why don't you give her a chance to get
control of herself before you start firing question better?
Speaker 9 (10:13):
Maybe you're right, Patsy, Perhaps you would feel better if
you had some breakfast eggs.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I don't want anything.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
My big pardon, yes, gardon.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
There's a gentleman who insists, upon seeing miss Agnes.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
My daughter isn't saying anyone tell him to go away.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
It wouldn't do any good if he did, tell me.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Missus Perry medicine alone, Patsy, any client matter?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Official business?
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Make what do you mean official business? I didn't send
for the police.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I didn't do anything.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Not there. He isn't here to see.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
You, And that's where you're wrong, mister Perry. I'm here
to arrest your daughter on suspicion of murder.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Agless Perry's despair is equaled by the shock and grief
in the eyes of her father as Mattie makes the arrested.
We'll see what happens in just a moment. Now back
to the case of the homely bride. Today's adventure with
Nick Carter walked to you by new post war old
(11:14):
Dutch Twinser. It's a couple of hours later and at
the police headquarters, Agnes Perry was giving her version of
what happened in the tourist cabin the night before.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
When Tony admitted that he only married me in order
to get money out of father. I said, I was
going home.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
He grabbed me and you had a fight.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
That's when you fell against the chair near the bed
and broke.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Your watch, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
No, No, there wasn't any fight.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I noticed the crystal is missing from your watch, and
we found thin pieces of curved glass near that upset chair.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I don't know anything about that.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Okay, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
What time was all this, Well about twelve thirty I
think then.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
What happened, Well, I broke.
Speaker 10 (11:52):
Away from him right outside in my car and drove home.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And during the time it took you to get in
the car, start the motor and put it in gear.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Why didn't he.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Catch up with you?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Well, he didn't try. He only chased me as far
as the door.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
He chased you to the.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Door, yet you still found time to stop and pick
up your coat.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
No I didn't. I just ran. I didn't stop for anything.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Okay, okay, Now I'll tell you what really happened. You
fought with Tony Blaze about three o'clock, not twelve thirty,
because the medical examiner says he was shot sometime between
three and four am.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It was twelve thirty, I tell you. I mean that's
when I left the cabin. Oh, and when you.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Broke away, you didn't run out the door.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
You picked up that gun at.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
His and shuman, No, no, I didn't. After that, you
didn't need to hurry, so you got your coat and purse,
walked out.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
To the car and came up.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
It's a lie.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I didn't show him all right, then, why are your
fingerprints all over the gun? And only your finger prints?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
And told you I found it in his suitcase. I
picked it up.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Excuse me, nick, I suppose you've had ballistics check the
Revolverady be sure it's the one that killed Tony Blaze.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Well, naturally, all three bullets.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Came out of the same gun. We dug two out
of the wall, the one that missed him completely and
the one that raised his head. There was a third
boat in his heart, and I see O wires are
sure it happened at exactly three point fifteen, because Nick,
something aroused the woman who runs the camp. She realized
later it must have been the shooting. Of course, she
(13:19):
looked out her window and saw Miss Perrie here leaving.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Wearing a coat.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, a white coat you could see a mile off.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
That's how the woman knew who it was.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Miss Perry was wearing.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That same coat when she checked into the place she's lying.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I left my coat at the cabin when I ran out.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
It's not there now, Miss Perry.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
A minute, a minute, let's forget the court a minute,
Maddie about the time element.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Couldn't the woman be mistaken? Now, not a chance, Nick.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
In the first place, she looked at her clock. In
the second place, she wasn't even home until.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
After two point thirty.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh, you see, Nick, none of the other cabins were
rented last night.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
So the woman went into town to a party.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I see, you know, Miss Perry.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Everybody knows Tony Blaize was a king size heel.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
So maybe if you would admit the truth.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
To trap me, okay, okay, then I'll have to hold
her for the grand jewelry, and I hope you've got
a better story then than you have now.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Agnes accused of murder.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
Policemen here in my home searching for evidence.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
Please don't worry, mister Perry. No jury will ever convict
Agnes under the circumstances.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Maybe they won't miss for start, or she'd admit the circumstances.
And if she sticks to the story she told at headquarters,
she may be charged with first degree murder.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
You're probably right, Carter. You and I can see that
Agnes is lying.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And why should she lie about such unimportant things?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
The time? And whether or not she was wearing a coat?
Speaker 10 (15:00):
Erica less All, you don't know Agnes as I do,
mister Carter. She's always been terribly shy, frightened of everybody.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
How long have you known her, Miss Forsyde.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Well, only about six months really, But but we've been
like sister Ohnick that I asked Gordon of the butler,
you know, Oh, yes, yes, sir, well, I asked him
to come down here and tell you what he just
tell Sergeant Mathison.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
Tell him Gordon, Well, sir, it's just that I heard
miss Agnes come home last night. And why didn't you
tell somebody Gordon you knew how frantic we all am.
I'm sorry, mister Perry, but I didn't know it was
miss Agnes at the time.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
I thought it was you, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Why should you think that could have have been miss
forsyde here of one of the servants.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Oh no, sir. The only person for the.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
Latch key are Miss Agnes, mister Perry, and myself, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Anyone else would have to ring the door.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Lett of three fifteen. The time would be just about right,
That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
I found it.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
What matter the white coat Miss Perry said she didn't
wear home.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
She tried to burn it in the furnace.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
But there's still plenty left for identification.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
And look at those blood stains.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Is that Agnes's coat, mister Perry. Yes, eh, I'm afraid
it is.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And it's the last piece of evidence needed to smash
that story of hers to smither reasons.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
WHOA what's the youth?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yes, yes, yes, I shot.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Him knowing if you said this much, please Miss Perry,
don't look on this tentlemens.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Patsy and I came here to the jail hoping we
could help you.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
That's the truth, miss Perry. Why don't you tell Nick
just what happened. Willie was going to hit me.
Speaker 10 (17:15):
I warned him to stair away, but he kept coming
with that awful look on his face.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
It was almost time of my mind was here. I
didn't even realize what I was doing. D Look, you
mustn't get excited. You see nigga was self defense.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Yeah, that's the next thing is to prove it.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Oh well, can you with everybody lying about me? Nobody's
lying about you. You're all lying that woman in the camp,
the police, even Gordon.
Speaker 10 (17:37):
They lied about the coat, about the time it happened,
even about by breaking my watch.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You still insist that the shooting took place at twelve
thirty and that you came back home without your coat.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Of course I do, because it's the truth.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And you didn't fail against that chair and break your watch, Chris,
I didn't fall against.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Anything, Lucks Perry, how many times did you fire that revolver?
Speaker 7 (17:59):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I don't know, I don't know. I wait, I have
a picture here that the police photographer took her the body.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I want to see it. You've got you.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
This is important all right, Now tell me was this
the way he was lying when you left the cabin?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
No? No, he was born on his side and not
next to the bay. He was over by the easy chair.
I must have lived long enough to crawl a few feet.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
That last bullet killed him.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Instantly, Stop talking about it, I said, I killedn't what boat.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
I want a lot more, Miss Perry.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I want to get you out of his cell, and
the best way to do it is by putting someone
else here instead.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Hello, Sergeant Matthison, this is Patsy Nick just got back
to the office and he wants to know whether you
have any report on those fingerprints yet.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
And the broken glass tube.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I mean, yes, the glass Fragment's two sergeant, Okay, I'll
hold on. He's gone for the report, now made good?
Why are these sudden interesting fingerprints? You know, the only
prince on the revolve of the kill Tony Blaze was Agnes's.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
I know, but these are different.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I got one of them from a teacup and the
other off the lock button on the Perry's front door
off the What a little button on the lock that
you press.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
When you want to leave the door off the latch?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
But what the oh, yes, sergeant, they were. And how
about the glass? I see, yes, yes, I'll tellen goodbye.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
What did he say?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Those fingerprints were both made by the same person, But
it wasn't Agnes Perry.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
That's what I hoped for.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
And how about the pieces of glass?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Man, It seems that Agnes are telling the truth about
her watch. At least those fragments weren't from a watch crystal.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
After all, they want to go glass.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
That makes things more interesting. Gotta get your hat, Patsy,
we're going to travel.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
I did it with so mountainous.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Do you really think you can do anything to help agnest,
mister Carter.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
I do.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
As a matter of fact, I intend to prove that
Agnes Perry didn't kill.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Her husband, but she consents.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I know she did. But I found a fingerprint on
the last button of the front door. That's going to
convict the real murderer.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I don't understand. He is to turn, Miss for Side,
I almost missed that.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah, and you turned right, Miss Forteside. I told you
to make a left turn.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Oh oh, how stupid of me.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I'll turn around. No, no, never mind. The tourist camp
is on this road. But how did you know what
why I didn't the ros over the clish.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
It's all right, I just swer to avoid that dog.
I didn't see it until it was almost under our wheel.
You you almost gave me hershan. Yes, it must be
one hundred feet down to the river.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Miss Porsyde probably didn't notice the dog because she doesn't
see so well without her glasses.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Patsy, my glasses.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
How did you know that I usually wear them while driving,
don't you?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Of course I do.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
But they're broken, aren't they?
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Miss?
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Foresayd you've broke them last night in the tourist cabin
where you killed Tony Blaze.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
That's not only ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
You say you've never been over this road before. I
haven't yet. Because you were excited, you took the right
hand turn, even though I purposely told you to turn left.
That doesn't mean anything, I'd say. It means you made
the same trip before last night, when you slipped the
latch on the front door of the Perry home so
that you could get back in unobserved.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I did no such thing.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Oh yes you did. Your fingerprint was on the push
button of the automatic luck, the same print you left
on the teacup this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Suppose I did touch that push button. You still can't
prove I was ever in that cabin.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
I think we can by having an oculust compare the
pieces of broken glass found in the cabin with a
prescription for your eyeglasses.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
All right, smart boy, So I did kill him, but
I won't go to the chair voice.
Speaker 12 (22:05):
I'd rather die this way.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Linda Foresight twist the wheel of the speeding car towards
the edge of the cliff with its hundred foot drop,
intending to kill not only herself but Nick and Passy
as well.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
We'll see what happens in just a moment.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Now for the conclusion of the case of the Homely Bride, Today's.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Adventure with Nick Carter drop.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
To you by new.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Post war old Dutch cleanser.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Rather than take a chance on the electric chair, Linda
foresythe turns the wheel of a past moving car to
the side of the bottom road, where there's a sheer
one hundred foot drop.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
The wheel.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Yes, your pat.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Kevin, we had a tree instead of going on.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah, I managed to twish the wheel enough to avoid that.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
But even hitting a tree at that speed, I mean,
why are we smashed up?
Speaker 8 (23:08):
More?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
I managed to get my foot on the brake and
jammed it down high.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Why did you have to go snooping around? They'd never
acquitted Agnes.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
But but it made me a different story for you.
Why did you kill Tony Blaze? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
He doubled cross me. I was the one he was
going to marry, not Agnes. He said it would only
be a bluff to get money out of her father.
That you were in on the whole scheme. Of course
I was.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Tony would never have been able to meet Agnes if
I hadn't made friends.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
With her and introduced him.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
And then you stayed right with her, so that you're
gonna encourage the courtship.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I did it because I loved him and he didn't
love me. We were going to take the money get married.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Many and then he decided to be more profitable in
the long run to marry Agnes and collect afterwards.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
Yes, I knew where they'd gone, so I came up
here to have it out with him, and then he
got nasty.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
He hit me.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
It was us all over the chair and broke your glasses. Yes,
I must have gone crazy.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
I grabbed up the gun.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Agnes said, she shot him. She did.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
One bullet went wild, and another grazed his head and
made him unconscious.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
He just come out of it a little while before
I got there.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
You got the idea of putting the blame on her.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
Yes, I was sure her fingerprints were still on the gun.
Tony was still groggy. He didn't notice what I.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Was doing, so I picked it up with my handkerchief
and finished the job.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Then you put on Agnes's white coat before leaving the cabin,
so that if anyone saw you they think it was she.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
That's right. I don't know, miss Fortsight.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
But since you're so fond of wearing Agnes Perry's clothes,
we'll see how that prison uniform of hers will fit you.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Well, Nick, what about the adventure new post war old
Dutch cleanser will bring us next week.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
It's a story, Mike, about a politician who found an
Oriental dancer in his bathto.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Dead, And Nick didn't life the costume the corpse was
wearing because it exposed an uneven suntan.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
But what suntan got to do with murder? It had
plenty to do with this one.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Mike, along with a jealous wife and a sideshow barker
and an old fashioned political rally.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Well, now that sounds like quite an adventure. What do
you call it, Nick? I call it the Case of
the Candidate's Corpse.

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
