Nick.

I'm getting crammed hiding under this desk? Do you really
think he's coming?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Fifty dollars is pretty tempting bait? And they sounded plenty
interested over the phone.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
If we only had a light in here, Medea, listens,
someone's forcing the window.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
All type, Bessie, I think that's our man.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
And now the Case of the Last Old Timer. Today's
adventure starring Long Clark as Nick Carter, brought to you
by New Postwar Old Dutch Cleanser. If you ask Waldo McGlenn,
crime isn't what it used to be, No, sir, give
Waldo the good old days when Nick's father, Sim Carter
was one of the country's leading detectives and his right
(01:24):
hand man was Waldo McGlenn. Those were the days when
crime was crime. But today, at Nick's office, Waldo's audience
isn't very attentive because Nick is inspecting a new camera
and Patsy is finishing some letters. But Waldo still holds
forth on his favorite subject.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Hey, jed you nick boy, we had real criminals in
them days. He didn't catch them fellows by using a
microscope and a lie detector. Nour Seria had to stand
up anything else?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh, I know, thanks, Patsy. Hey you know where the
fast land like this? I got down here take pictures
in the dark. Gone, Patsy. I wish you wouldn't interrupt me. No,
I forget what I was saying.
Speaker 7 (02:07):
Oh that's easy, No, sir, you had to stand up
and shoot it out, shoot first and last questions. That's
the way we were.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I did say all that will not use anyway.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
But you were going to Oh I know that routine
by heart. Walthough I've heard it, so all right.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Laugh forehead, But you'll find out I'm right, and before
long too.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You know who got out of sing sing this week?
Speaker 6 (02:31):
No, Nitro Nelson, that's who the king of the safe crackers.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh yes, I heard my father talk about him.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
You're sure your old man and me shut it out
with Niro and his pal Dan Brinkley after they pulled
that co in security job and killed the night watchman.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I thought they got the chair for that, Waldo. Only
Dan Brinkley was executed.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Nitro testified against him and got off with a life.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Sentence, and they were released in this week, yep.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Paroled after seven twenty five years.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
So Nick, you better look out for the biggest crime
this whole.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Town has seen for the many a day.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well, I doubt whether the night there was much of
a menace anymore, Waldo, Oh boy must be past seventy.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Well, so what he still knows more about cracking us
safe than all these modern yiggs put together.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And just give him a Flaska Nitro glycery.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And he Woldo, those methods are out of date. Modern
safs can't be cracked as easily as those old timers.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Okay, okay, you just wait and see, all right, Waldo.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I promised to call on you the very first time
I got a case involving a blown sake. Nick Carter

well of course, but we'd like to have you on
the case too. Wouldn't help us out? Okay, I'll be

You can't see I didn't try, mister Jones. Pardon me,
mister Jones, would you mind showing me where the safe is?
I'd like to take a few pictures, pictures. Yes, I'm
testing a new camera with a special lens for detail work.
Say that's quite a camera on, mister Carter, I mean
(05:16):

but this is the first one i've ever seen. Well,

safes here by Saturday. I'll buy a roll of film notes.
They'll be here, mister Jones, Come on, cut up, I'll
show you whether I took place. You can get all
(05:36):

at least have been over everything.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Of course, that is an old fashioned safe, I'll.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Say it is modern safe, couldn't have been blown open
so easily. Faith master view is Nitro Glasherman too? See
where he plugged up the cracks for soap?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Let him look me boy?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, go ahead, water, go ahead, And mister Jones, where
was the night Watchman's body? Found just outside in the curtain.
He was shot. The janitor found him when he opened
up this morning.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Nick, boy, this is one of Nitro Nelson's jobs. If
I ever saw one water.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
You got Nigel Nelson on the brain.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I know what I'm talking about, Patsy.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
In the old days, we could recognize the work of
every big time save cracker in the business.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, if you're right, Waller, we'll find out pretty soon.
I see the police have been dusting for fingerprins.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
And it looks as though they've found plenty.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, old sinnersor through here. We'll go down to headquarters
and check with Maddy. I'm waiting for a reporter on
those finger.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Prints now, Nick, and when it gets here, you'll find
out I'm right, Matty. Oh yeah, this takes me back
twenty five years. Nightrow killed the night watchman on that
job too. According to court records, his partner killed him.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You could never make.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Me believe that Dan Brinkley wasn't the killer, But nkose
war Dan did it, and the card believed him.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
No. Were you at the trial, holder shoe shoe?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Nick? I had to testify?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Oh yeah, I remember how sorry I felt for Dan's
wife and kid when the judge passed the death hittens
on him. That's funny. Why their faces keep sticking in
my mind the way they do? Oh that's probably they
report Nick, Sergeant Mathison homicide. Yeah, uh, huh okay Peterson,
(07:28):
thanks all, though, I gotta give you a credit. Huh
you sure call the turn this time? What you mean?
Those were Nightron Nelson's spinker, Prince Maddy, as plain as day?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
What did I tell you?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
In spite of his age, The old boy must be
pretty spry to pull a job as neat as that one.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
And you, mark my words, this is only the beginning,
Nick boy E're up against a real crook.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
This time.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Dona Patsy had doesn't seem possible.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Three more safe robberies and five days, and all of
them exactly like the first.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Niro Nelson, Nick Boyd.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Just like I told you, I can't argue with you
anymore Waldo, I found his fingerprints on every safe. I
can't even get a lead on him.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Today Nira left prison. He must have gone directly to
some hideous I know, Patsy and now, but where where?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You know?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Ever since we saw that first safety blue, I've had
a feeling that.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
There's there's something I ought to remember.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Something in my mind keeps going back to that courtroom
twenty five years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
When you remember what it is, let me know, Waldo,
he gave us the right stare the first time.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Maybe you can do it again. And mister Carter, when.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I opened up the office this morning, this is what
I've found. H huh. A crack safe with the door
blown right off it's end, and almost forty thousand dollars
in negotiable security is gone. Where's the window open as
it is now, mister Harris, Yes, nothing's been touched.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
But Nick, this is the top floor would never cracked
that say, it couldn't have got in through the window.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Nobody could have lowered himself down from the roof with
a rope. In fact, miss Pollen, it's the only way
he could have got by our watchman without being seen.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
That'll be quite a trick for a seventy five year
old man.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Not for night tro Nelson.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Nick, you know, if he'd only waited till next week,
we'd have our new safe installed.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I'll bet not even he could crack that.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Hey, that's it? What is it? Nick? What does this
look like to You're not hearing the floor in front
of the.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Safe, Why it looks like a bit of jelasin.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
That's what I thought, sheeladin. I think we finally hear
on something.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Boy, I got it what I was trying to remember,
But I ain't sure. So let me work it out
on my own.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Well, shouldn't you tell next of the two of you
can work it out together.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Nope, I got to do this myself. Just give me
twenty four hours, Nick, and if I don't find Nitros hideout,
then I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Okay, well, oh all right, all right, Waller, but be careful.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Sure, I'll be careful.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
But I caught that old son of a good once
and I can do it again.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Mary flashed that enlargement of the fingerprints on the screen again.
Will Okay, Nick, But what's the use It's exactly the
same as the Prince of Nitros we have on file.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Sure there is no question about it?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I know, I know, but yeah, every world, every loop,
every ridge is there?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
What's bothering you?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Nique? I'm looking for something that isn't there, Something that
isn't there. Oh, just a minute, think, Sergeant mathieson homicide.
Where's that three four seven Hillside Road? Eh?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
How long ago? Okay, I'll run out and have a look.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, I'll leave right away, okay, Thompson trouble sergeant. Yeah,
somebody found it, good body in the cellar of an
old house out on Hillside Road. You want to come
a home, Nick, All right, Raddy, I can finish up
here and we get back. Come on, Bessy. The body
(11:17):
down in the basement, sageant this way. How did you
happen to find it? Mister Wilkins. It was out in
my backyard when I heard a shot. I lived in
the next house down the road.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And then a minute later I saw somebody run out
of here carrying a suitcase. He jumped into a car
and beat it fast. So I came over to see
what was up or the door unlocked? Yes, was wide open.
Well I thought that was funny. So I kept looking around,
and finally I found this dead man in the cellar.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
You didn't move him.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Did you. No? I just looked from the top of
the steps. Then I ran and called.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
You this the basement door.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, he was right at the bottom of the steps. See, hey,
good grief, Nick, Look great, scratch, it's Waldo.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
At the foot of the cellistairs in a deserted cottage,
Nick's whole friend and assistant, Waldo McGlenn lies stretched out
with a bullet hole in his chest. Now back to
the case of the Last Old Timer. Today's adventure with
Nick Carter brought to you by new postwar old Dutch cleanser.
Sergeant Matheson took Nick and Patsy with him to investigate
(12:34):
her report that a body had been found in the
basement of the cottage on Hillside Road, only to discover
that the man who is shot is Nick's.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Old friend and assistant, Waldo mglynn. A few minutes later, Well,
I managed to stop the bleeding. At least.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I'm afraid he doesn't have much of a chance. He
made when let ambulance be.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Here any minute down.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I suppose worlder was following that clue he spoke about
when he turned here.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Probably I wish now i'd made him tell me just
what it was. Even if he recovers, it'll be days
before he can tell us what happened this over here,
I'd like to show you if you can leave world
over for a minute. All right, all right, Matty, there's
nothing more to be done until the ambulance arrives. Anyway,
What is it here behind this partition? Take a look? What? Why?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Those are saves, four old fashioned saves.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And each one has the door blown off the hinges.
What do you know? And mister Wilkins, yes you know
who lives in this cottage?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yes, I owned the place and about months ago I
rendered it to an old man named triplet.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
An old man.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
How old?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Why?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
He must have been seventy seventy five, hard boiled old gento.
But I felt like one of those gangsters in the movies.
Yees see, Nick, it was Nitro. This is the hideout
we've been looking for. So how about those poor saves,
mister Wilkins, do they belong to you too?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I never saw him before? Or how well did you
get to know this mister Triplett? Why I didn't get
to know him at all? In facties, I haven't even
seen him since he rendered the place. Hey, Nick, I've
been looking at those saves. Uh, you know only three
of them were blown open. The door is wide open
on the fourth, but it's not damage. I noticed that too, Maddy.
Probably the fourth one was used to store the loot
(14:06):
from the robberies.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Why would he have four seas and then blast three
of them open?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Well, he was practicing, Patsy. Hey, look, took three attempts
to get this first one open. It was still a
clumsy job, yeah, but the technique was better on this
next safe.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
He did a perfect job on the third one.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Why get it?
Speaker 7 (14:22):
After twenty five years in jail, the old man had
to do a little practicing in order to get back.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
His skilled Go over here, Maddie. Yeah, bring a flash
slack okay, put it dark in this corner. Load. Did
you find something else? Throw the light down here on
the dirt floor? Okay? Hey, see what I mean? Yeah,
the dirt isn't packed down as hard as it is
and the.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Rest of the side.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
To get some men out here, start digging right what
pourn Nick, wouldn't be surprised if they find the body
of Ncrone Nelson.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I careful boys left.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Them out easy way that's mister Trippet, the old man
who rented my house. Maybe he was mister Tripper to you, Wilkins,
but he was Nitro Nelson to the police.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
But Nick, it can't be nitrol. Look at the body.
It must have been buried there.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
For at least a week, perhaps even longer, Maddy, But
it's still nitrol.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
That's impossible. Nick. Those robberies started less than a week ago,
and you know Nitro did them. You found his fingerprints
on every safe.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Yeah, and fingerprints don't long.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
But if they're not lying this time at it the
only answer is that the robberies are committed by a ghost.
And you don't believe in ghosts, do you? Nick?
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Please give with some answers. How did Nitro's fingerprints get
on those safes after he was dead?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, Patsy, you know what happens when you develop photographic.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Films only in a general way?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Why, Well, film is covered with a thin layer of
sensitized gelatine.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Yes, I know that much.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Okay, Then when the film's put into developer, the developer
turns the exposed part of that gelatine black and it
eats away the unexposed part.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Go ahead, I'm still with you.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I suppose a photograph of a fingerprint were printed on
a very thick layer of that gelatine, and they were
left in an extra strong developer until all the white
spaces between the ridges were eaten away as deeply as
AT's say, a thirty second of an inch.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Why, I suppose the black part the ridges of the
fingerprint would stand out like a rubber stamp.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Exactly, Spatsy, like a rubber stamp made out of gelatin.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
And somebody took a photograph of Nitro's fingerprints and made
one of those gelatin rubber stamp things out of it.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yes see, I began to wonder when I found that
bit of gelatin on the floor by the safe in
Harris's office. Uh huh, must have broken off when he
put the princes there. Then, when we enlarged the prints
at headquarters, just know, I was sure.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Yes, you said you were looking for something that wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
What did you mean, Patsy. There have pores in all
human skin, but not in jail. But no matter how
much we enlarge those prints, there wasn't a single poor mark.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
That's why I'm sure the fingerprints were faked.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
All right?
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Said we know Nightra didn't rob those safes, but who did.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I want you to phone all the companies that have
been robbed after we've made those calls. I think that'll
give us the answer to your question. Hello, Hello, Lewis. Yes,
this is Cornelius Jones of Jones, Fish and Caroline. Oh. Yes,
(17:31):
mister Jones, I've got those two safes I ordered from
your company. Yes, could you possibly deliver one of them
this afternoon? I'm afraid not, mister Jones, but I've got
over fifty thousand dollars in cash and securities here that
just came in, and the banks are closed for the day. Now,
all we have is that old safe in our downtown office.
I don't trust that anymore. I'm sorry, mister Jones. That
old safe will have to do until tomorrow night. But
(17:53):
before then, I'll take care of everything. That's a promise.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Nick, Do you already think he's coming?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Fifty thousand dollars is pretty tempting bait, and Jones said
he's sounded bloody interested over the phone.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Well, we only had a listen. Someone's closing the window.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
All type, Betsy, I think that's our man. All right,
don't move, I've got a gun on you? Who the
cut on the lights patches?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Right?
Speaker 7 (18:33):
If you're right, it is mister Lewis.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yes, that perhaps he'd rather recalled mister Brinkley. So you know,
do you I do? Your father was Dan Brinkley, wasn't he? Yes,
Dan Brinkley, the man night trow Nelson sensed the electric
chair for killing he did himself. That's what Walder was
trying to remember. Walder was at Brinkley's trial, and he
recalled the resemblance between you and your father.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Yeah, who's Waldo?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
He's Niek's assistant, the man who trails you out of
the cottage, the man.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
You shot Brinkley and he may die. Well, what did
you say to do? He ran down the stairs waving
a gun and yelling for me to give up shore.
I shot him. Then I grabbed the stuff out of
the safe and beat it. Well you're not going to
beat it this time. I'm not. Look do you think
I'm going to the chair like my father did? You
don't have any choice? No, Well look at what I've
got in my hand.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
What have you got in that model?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Nitro glycerin' sister? You take a shot at me, Carra
and we'll all be blown into a million pieces. So
put that gun away. You won't get away even if
I do. Brinkley, this whole place is surrounded. This is
the end of the line for you. Okay, then it's
the end of the line for all of us. Bottle.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
With all his force, Brinkley hurls the bottle of nitroglycerin
directly at Nick and Patsy, preferring to die with them
rather than be captured. We'll see what happens in just
a moment. Now for the conclusion of the case of
the Last Old Timer, Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought
to you my new post war old Dutch cleanser. Nick
(20:03):
and Patsy trapped George Brinkley as he was about to
blow open the safe of Jones, Fisher and Callaway. But
Brinkley holds a bottle of nitroglycer and above his head and.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Says, oh kay, Cardle, this is the end of the
line for all of us.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
On the graze of Brinkley. Stop climpering.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
They're going to be any explodeson.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
No, Patsy. When he threw the bottle, I managed to
catch it.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
We're still lucky it didn't explode.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh, brother, I never want.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
To do that again.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Hey do I? Well, come on, Brinkley, I want you
to meet an old friend of mine, Sergeant Mathieson of homicide.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Nikki, youre sure it's all right rest to see world
O today?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Sure the nurse that he was conscious and asking for it.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Oh, hello, Gosh, I'm glad to see you.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Nick.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Something. I gotta tell you that sealessman for the Safe Company,
he's Dan Brinkley's son.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
When you trail into that cottage on Hillside Road, misshot.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
We know all about it. Worldup, we caught Brinkley last night.
She did well. To begin with. I couldn't believe a
man ncro's ages could pull those jobs, Nick, pulling more,
I figured those jobs were pulled by someone who knew
where there were old fashioned safe so that could be
blown open by ncros out of date methods.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
So when two of the victims mentioned buying new saves, Nick,
they did that a safe salesman trying to sell them
new ones would know all this. And it didn't take
long to find out that Brinkley.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Or Lewis had called on all the victims.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Sure, when I discovered the secret of the phony fingerprints,
I remembered Brinkley's interest in photography. The photography. How does
that fall?
Speaker 7 (21:51):
We'll tell you later world after you feel there.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
It's enough right now to tell you that Brinkley's mother
brought him up hating Nitro Nelson.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
So when Nitro got out of jail, Brinkley was there
to meet.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Him, and Nifer didn't recognize him. That's why he agreed
to teach him his methods of safe cracking four thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
But after Brinkley learned the technique, he strangled the old man,
buried him in the cellar of the cottage. So it
wasn't night shore that blew them safe after all.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Sorry to disappoint you, Waldo, and you can credit the
younger generation with those jobs.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Just that's why you got him so easy. In my day,
you had to stand.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Up and shoot it out, shoot first and ask questions afterwards.
That's the way we were to have one laugh all.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
And now.

Dutch Cleanser brings you one of the most resourceful and
(00:29):
daring characters in all detective fiction, Nick Carter, Master Detective.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Nick.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I'm getting crammed hiding under this desk? Do you really
think he's coming?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Fifty dollars is pretty tempting bait? And they sounded plenty
interested over the phone.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
If we only had a light in here, Medea, listens,
someone's forcing the window.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
All type, Bessie, I think that's our man.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
And now the Case of the Last Old Timer. Today's
adventure starring Long Clark as Nick Carter, brought to you
by New Postwar Old Dutch Cleanser. If you ask Waldo McGlenn,
crime isn't what it used to be, No, sir, give
Waldo the good old days when Nick's father, Sim Carter
was one of the country's leading detectives and his right
(01:24):
hand man was Waldo McGlenn. Those were the days when
crime was crime. But today, at Nick's office, Waldo's audience
isn't very attentive because Nick is inspecting a new camera
and Patsy is finishing some letters. But Waldo still holds
forth on his favorite subject.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Hey, jed you nick boy, we had real criminals in
them days. He didn't catch them fellows by using a
microscope and a lie detector. Nour Seria had to stand
up anything else?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh, I know, thanks, Patsy. Hey you know where the
fast land like this? I got down here take pictures
in the dark. Gone, Patsy. I wish you wouldn't interrupt me. No,
I forget what I was saying.
Speaker 7 (02:07):
Oh that's easy, No, sir, you had to stand up
and shoot it out, shoot first and last questions. That's
the way we were.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I did say all that will not use anyway.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
But you were going to Oh I know that routine
by heart. Walthough I've heard it, so all right.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Laugh forehead, But you'll find out I'm right, and before
long too.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You know who got out of sing sing this week?
Speaker 6 (02:31):
No, Nitro Nelson, that's who the king of the safe crackers.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh yes, I heard my father talk about him.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
You're sure your old man and me shut it out
with Niro and his pal Dan Brinkley after they pulled
that co in security job and killed the night watchman.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I thought they got the chair for that, Waldo. Only
Dan Brinkley was executed.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Nitro testified against him and got off with a life.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Sentence, and they were released in this week, yep.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Paroled after seven twenty five years.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
So Nick, you better look out for the biggest crime
this whole.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Town has seen for the many a day.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well, I doubt whether the night there was much of
a menace anymore, Waldo, Oh boy must be past seventy.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Well, so what he still knows more about cracking us
safe than all these modern yiggs put together.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
And just give him a Flaska Nitro glycery.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And he Woldo, those methods are out of date. Modern
safs can't be cracked as easily as those old timers.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Okay, okay, you just wait and see, all right, Waldo.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I promised to call on you the very first time
I got a case involving a blown sake. Nick Carter
speaking Hello. This is Corninus Jones of Jones, Fisher and Caroline.
Oh yes, mister Jones. Somebody broke into our offices here
(03:48):
at the factory last night. Murder the night watchman got
away with that payroll. Well if you notified the police,
well of course, but we'd like to have you on
the case too. Wouldn't help us out? Okay, I'll be
out there thirty minutes, mister Jones, blendid by the way.
Where was the money in a safe? Of course it
was the stief got it by blowing the door of
the state clear off its hinges.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
What did I chang your next? Boy? What did I change?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Your one case? Doesn't make a crime wave? Walk just

Speaker 7 (04:22):
I sure have? Well, here's mister Jones's office.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Corner where one horse. I'll take two safes of this
quos two model.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I want to deliver as soon as possible. I'll have

I'm a salesman, not a detective. I just sold mister

You can't see I didn't try, mister Jones. Pardon me,
mister Jones, would you mind showing me where the safe is?
I'd like to take a few pictures, pictures. Yes, I'm
testing a new camera with a special lens for detail work.
Say that's quite a camera on, mister Carter, I mean
(05:16):
I see it. Certainly help yourself. I've read about these,
but this is the first one i've ever seen. Well,
if won four lens, that's unusual, Dolly, I'd like to
have one of these. Yeah, well, you get those new
safes here by Saturday. I'll buy a roll of film notes.
They'll be here, mister Jones, Come on, cut up, I'll
show you whether I took place. You can get all
(05:36):
the pictures you want. Well, there's the safe, mister Curtip
at least have been over everything.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Of course, that is an old fashioned safe, I'll.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Say it is modern safe, couldn't have been blown open
so easily. Faith master view is Nitro Glasherman too? See
where he plugged up the cracks for soap?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Let him look me boy?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, go ahead, water, go ahead, And mister Jones, where
was the night Watchman's body? Found just outside in the curtain.
He was shot. The janitor found him when he opened
up this morning.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Nick, boy, this is one of Nitro Nelson's jobs. If
I ever saw one water.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
You got Nigel Nelson on the brain.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I know what I'm talking about, Patsy.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
In the old days, we could recognize the work of
every big time save cracker in the business.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, if you're right, Waller, we'll find out pretty soon.
I see the police have been dusting for fingerprins.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
And it looks as though they've found plenty.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, old sinnersor through here. We'll go down to headquarters
and check with Maddy. I'm waiting for a reporter on
those finger.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Prints now, Nick, and when it gets here, you'll find
out I'm right, Matty. Oh yeah, this takes me back
twenty five years. Nightrow killed the night watchman on that
job too. According to court records, his partner killed him.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You could never make.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Me believe that Dan Brinkley wasn't the killer, But nkose
war Dan did it, and the card believed him.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
No. Were you at the trial, holder shoe shoe?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Nick? I had to testify?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Oh yeah, I remember how sorry I felt for Dan's
wife and kid when the judge passed the death hittens
on him. That's funny. Why their faces keep sticking in
my mind the way they do? Oh that's probably they
report Nick, Sergeant Mathison homicide. Yeah, uh, huh okay Peterson,
(07:28):
thanks all, though, I gotta give you a credit. Huh
you sure call the turn this time? What you mean?
Those were Nightron Nelson's spinker, Prince Maddy, as plain as day?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
What did I tell you?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
In spite of his age, The old boy must be
pretty spry to pull a job as neat as that one.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
And you, mark my words, this is only the beginning,
Nick boy E're up against a real crook.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
This time.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Dona Patsy had doesn't seem possible.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Three more safe robberies and five days, and all of
them exactly like the first.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Niro Nelson, Nick Boyd.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Just like I told you, I can't argue with you
anymore Waldo, I found his fingerprints on every safe. I
can't even get a lead on him.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Today Nira left prison. He must have gone directly to
some hideous I know, Patsy and now, but where where?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You know?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Ever since we saw that first safety blue, I've had
a feeling that.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
There's there's something I ought to remember.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Something in my mind keeps going back to that courtroom
twenty five years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
When you remember what it is, let me know, Waldo,
he gave us the right stare the first time.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Maybe you can do it again. And mister Carter, when.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I opened up the office this morning, this is what
I've found. H huh. A crack safe with the door
blown right off it's end, and almost forty thousand dollars
in negotiable security is gone. Where's the window open as
it is now, mister Harris, Yes, nothing's been touched.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
But Nick, this is the top floor would never cracked
that say, it couldn't have got in through the window.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Nobody could have lowered himself down from the roof with
a rope. In fact, miss Pollen, it's the only way
he could have got by our watchman without being seen.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
That'll be quite a trick for a seventy five year
old man.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Not for night tro Nelson.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Nick, you know, if he'd only waited till next week,
we'd have our new safe installed.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I'll bet not even he could crack that.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Hey, that's it? What is it? Nick? What does this
look like to You're not hearing the floor in front
of the.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Safe, Why it looks like a bit of jelasin.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
That's what I thought, sheeladin. I think we finally hear
on something.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Boy, I got it what I was trying to remember,
But I ain't sure. So let me work it out
on my own.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Well, shouldn't you tell next of the two of you
can work it out together.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Nope, I got to do this myself. Just give me
twenty four hours, Nick, and if I don't find Nitros hideout,
then I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Okay, well, oh all right, all right, Waller, but be careful.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Sure, I'll be careful.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
But I caught that old son of a good once
and I can do it again.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Mary flashed that enlargement of the fingerprints on the screen again.
Will Okay, Nick, But what's the use It's exactly the
same as the Prince of Nitros we have on file.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Sure there is no question about it?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I know, I know, but yeah, every world, every loop,
every ridge is there?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
What's bothering you?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Nique? I'm looking for something that isn't there, Something that
isn't there. Oh, just a minute, think, Sergeant mathieson homicide.
Where's that three four seven Hillside Road? Eh?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
How long ago? Okay, I'll run out and have a look.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, I'll leave right away, okay, Thompson trouble sergeant. Yeah,
somebody found it, good body in the cellar of an
old house out on Hillside Road. You want to come
a home, Nick, All right, Raddy, I can finish up
here and we get back. Come on, Bessy. The body
(11:17):
down in the basement, sageant this way. How did you
happen to find it? Mister Wilkins. It was out in
my backyard when I heard a shot. I lived in
the next house down the road.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And then a minute later I saw somebody run out
of here carrying a suitcase. He jumped into a car
and beat it fast. So I came over to see
what was up or the door unlocked? Yes, was wide open.
Well I thought that was funny. So I kept looking around,
and finally I found this dead man in the cellar.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
You didn't move him.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Did you. No? I just looked from the top of
the steps. Then I ran and called.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
You this the basement door.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, he was right at the bottom of the steps. See, hey,
good grief, Nick, Look great, scratch, it's Waldo.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
At the foot of the cellistairs in a deserted cottage,
Nick's whole friend and assistant, Waldo McGlenn lies stretched out
with a bullet hole in his chest. Now back to
the case of the Last Old Timer. Today's adventure with
Nick Carter brought to you by new postwar old Dutch cleanser.
Sergeant Matheson took Nick and Patsy with him to investigate
(12:34):
her report that a body had been found in the
basement of the cottage on Hillside Road, only to discover
that the man who is shot is Nick's.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Old friend and assistant, Waldo mglynn. A few minutes later, Well,
I managed to stop the bleeding. At least.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I'm afraid he doesn't have much of a chance. He
made when let ambulance be.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Here any minute down.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I suppose worlder was following that clue he spoke about
when he turned here.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Probably I wish now i'd made him tell me just
what it was. Even if he recovers, it'll be days
before he can tell us what happened this over here,
I'd like to show you if you can leave world
over for a minute. All right, all right, Matty, there's
nothing more to be done until the ambulance arrives. Anyway,
What is it here behind this partition? Take a look? What? Why?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Those are saves, four old fashioned saves.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And each one has the door blown off the hinges.
What do you know? And mister Wilkins, yes you know
who lives in this cottage?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yes, I owned the place and about months ago I
rendered it to an old man named triplet.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
An old man.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
How old?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Why?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
He must have been seventy seventy five, hard boiled old gento.
But I felt like one of those gangsters in the movies.
Yees see, Nick, it was Nitro. This is the hideout
we've been looking for. So how about those poor saves,
mister Wilkins, do they belong to you too?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I never saw him before? Or how well did you
get to know this mister Triplett? Why I didn't get
to know him at all? In facties, I haven't even
seen him since he rendered the place. Hey, Nick, I've
been looking at those saves. Uh, you know only three
of them were blown open. The door is wide open
on the fourth, but it's not damage. I noticed that too, Maddy.
Probably the fourth one was used to store the loot
(14:06):
from the robberies.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Why would he have four seas and then blast three
of them open?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Well, he was practicing, Patsy. Hey, look, took three attempts
to get this first one open. It was still a
clumsy job, yeah, but the technique was better on this
next safe.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
He did a perfect job on the third one.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Why get it?
Speaker 7 (14:22):
After twenty five years in jail, the old man had
to do a little practicing in order to get back.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
His skilled Go over here, Maddie. Yeah, bring a flash
slack okay, put it dark in this corner. Load. Did
you find something else? Throw the light down here on
the dirt floor? Okay? Hey, see what I mean? Yeah,
the dirt isn't packed down as hard as it is
and the.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Rest of the side.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
To get some men out here, start digging right what
pourn Nick, wouldn't be surprised if they find the body
of Ncrone Nelson.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I careful boys left.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Them out easy way that's mister Trippet, the old man
who rented my house. Maybe he was mister Tripper to you, Wilkins,
but he was Nitro Nelson to the police.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
But Nick, it can't be nitrol. Look at the body.
It must have been buried there.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
For at least a week, perhaps even longer, Maddy, But
it's still nitrol.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
That's impossible. Nick. Those robberies started less than a week ago,
and you know Nitro did them. You found his fingerprints
on every safe.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Yeah, and fingerprints don't long.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
But if they're not lying this time at it the
only answer is that the robberies are committed by a ghost.
And you don't believe in ghosts, do you? Nick?
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Please give with some answers. How did Nitro's fingerprints get
on those safes after he was dead?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, Patsy, you know what happens when you develop photographic.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Films only in a general way?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Why, Well, film is covered with a thin layer of
sensitized gelatine.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Yes, I know that much.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Okay, Then when the film's put into developer, the developer
turns the exposed part of that gelatine black and it
eats away the unexposed part.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Go ahead, I'm still with you.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I suppose a photograph of a fingerprint were printed on
a very thick layer of that gelatine, and they were
left in an extra strong developer until all the white
spaces between the ridges were eaten away as deeply as
AT's say, a thirty second of an inch.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Why, I suppose the black part the ridges of the
fingerprint would stand out like a rubber stamp.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Exactly, Spatsy, like a rubber stamp made out of gelatin.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
And somebody took a photograph of Nitro's fingerprints and made
one of those gelatin rubber stamp things out of it.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yes see, I began to wonder when I found that
bit of gelatin on the floor by the safe in
Harris's office. Uh huh, must have broken off when he
put the princes there. Then, when we enlarged the prints
at headquarters, just know, I was sure.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Yes, you said you were looking for something that wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
What did you mean, Patsy. There have pores in all
human skin, but not in jail. But no matter how
much we enlarge those prints, there wasn't a single poor mark.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
That's why I'm sure the fingerprints were faked.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
All right?
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Said we know Nightra didn't rob those safes, but who did.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I want you to phone all the companies that have
been robbed after we've made those calls. I think that'll
give us the answer to your question. Hello, Hello, Lewis. Yes,
this is Cornelius Jones of Jones, Fish and Caroline. Oh. Yes,
(17:31):
mister Jones, I've got those two safes I ordered from
your company. Yes, could you possibly deliver one of them
this afternoon? I'm afraid not, mister Jones, but I've got
over fifty thousand dollars in cash and securities here that
just came in, and the banks are closed for the day. Now,
all we have is that old safe in our downtown office.
I don't trust that anymore. I'm sorry, mister Jones. That
old safe will have to do until tomorrow night. But
(17:53):
before then, I'll take care of everything. That's a promise.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Nick, Do you already think he's coming?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Fifty thousand dollars is pretty tempting bait, and Jones said
he's sounded bloody interested over the phone.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Well, we only had a listen. Someone's closing the window.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
All type, Betsy, I think that's our man. All right,
don't move, I've got a gun on you? Who the
cut on the lights patches?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Right?
Speaker 7 (18:33):
If you're right, it is mister Lewis.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yes, that perhaps he'd rather recalled mister Brinkley. So you know,
do you I do? Your father was Dan Brinkley, wasn't he? Yes,
Dan Brinkley, the man night trow Nelson sensed the electric
chair for killing he did himself. That's what Walder was
trying to remember. Walder was at Brinkley's trial, and he
recalled the resemblance between you and your father.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Yeah, who's Waldo?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
He's Niek's assistant, the man who trails you out of
the cottage, the man.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
You shot Brinkley and he may die. Well, what did
you say to do? He ran down the stairs waving
a gun and yelling for me to give up shore.
I shot him. Then I grabbed the stuff out of
the safe and beat it. Well you're not going to
beat it this time. I'm not. Look do you think
I'm going to the chair like my father did? You
don't have any choice? No, Well look at what I've
got in my hand.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
What have you got in that model?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Nitro glycerin' sister? You take a shot at me, Carra
and we'll all be blown into a million pieces. So
put that gun away. You won't get away even if
I do. Brinkley, this whole place is surrounded. This is
the end of the line for you. Okay, then it's
the end of the line for all of us. Bottle.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
With all his force, Brinkley hurls the bottle of nitroglycerin
directly at Nick and Patsy, preferring to die with them
rather than be captured. We'll see what happens in just
a moment. Now for the conclusion of the case of
the Last Old Timer, Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought
to you my new post war old Dutch cleanser. Nick
(20:03):
and Patsy trapped George Brinkley as he was about to
blow open the safe of Jones, Fisher and Callaway. But
Brinkley holds a bottle of nitroglycer and above his head and.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Says, oh kay, Cardle, this is the end of the
line for all of us.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
On the graze of Brinkley. Stop climpering.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
They're going to be any explodeson.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
No, Patsy. When he threw the bottle, I managed to
catch it.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
We're still lucky it didn't explode.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh, brother, I never want.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
To do that again.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Hey do I? Well, come on, Brinkley, I want you
to meet an old friend of mine, Sergeant Mathieson of homicide.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Nikki, youre sure it's all right rest to see world
O today?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Sure the nurse that he was conscious and asking for it.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Oh, hello, Gosh, I'm glad to see you.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Nick.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Something. I gotta tell you that sealessman for the Safe Company,
he's Dan Brinkley's son.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
When you trail into that cottage on Hillside Road, misshot.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
We know all about it. Worldup, we caught Brinkley last night.
She did well. To begin with. I couldn't believe a
man ncro's ages could pull those jobs, Nick, pulling more,
I figured those jobs were pulled by someone who knew
where there were old fashioned safe so that could be
blown open by ncros out of date methods.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
So when two of the victims mentioned buying new saves, Nick,
they did that a safe salesman trying to sell them
new ones would know all this. And it didn't take
long to find out that Brinkley.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Or Lewis had called on all the victims.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Sure, when I discovered the secret of the phony fingerprints,
I remembered Brinkley's interest in photography. The photography. How does
that fall?
Speaker 7 (21:51):
We'll tell you later world after you feel there.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
It's enough right now to tell you that Brinkley's mother
brought him up hating Nitro Nelson.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
So when Nitro got out of jail, Brinkley was there
to meet.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Him, and Nifer didn't recognize him. That's why he agreed
to teach him his methods of safe cracking four thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
But after Brinkley learned the technique, he strangled the old man,
buried him in the cellar of the cottage. So it
wasn't night shore that blew them safe after all.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Sorry to disappoint you, Waldo, and you can credit the
younger generation with those jobs.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Just that's why you got him so easy. In my day,
you had to stand.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Up and shoot it out, shoot first and ask questions afterwards.
That's the way we were to have one laugh all.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
And now.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. 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. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
