Oh that driver, I must be drunk crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
He's not injured. I'll tell him a thing or two.
Are you in there? You're hurt? So no, I'm okay.
I got out. Let's have a look at you. It
was my fault entirely. I'll be glad to pay all
the damage. What's wrong with you? Funny of light on
the street?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
You must have seen a comming?
Speaker 1 (01:48):

the man with the strongest motive in the world for
killing him. You have the strongest motive, Yes, I have,
mister Carter. You may be the means of saving my
life and the life of William Lasher as well. William Lasher, Yes,
it's not the man who used to be this a taturne,
(02:37):
that's right. He represents certain clients who are after my scalp. Naturally,
that makes him my enemy too. So I phoned him
just a little while ago. I argued and plead it
with him, but it was no use. He can ruin me,
and he's going to do it if he lives. It
don't make sense yet. While I was talking to him
on the phone, he received a letter by messenger. He
(02:58):
read it to me and accused me of gumus. It
said the glacier is going to be killed tonight.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Isn't the last of that daight? Or was so tough
or a huge let his name.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Go up reelect, Yes, Fati stepped on too many colds.
I must have a reliable person who will swear that
I couldn't have killed Glasher. Will you take the job,
mister Carcers And oh, mister Sanders, and I think maybe
I will. I'll pay you anything you ask, anything that
favor will be ten thousand dollars, mister Anders, ten thousand dollars.
Well that's pretty steep, but okay, I'll pay it, all right.
(03:31):
The first thing to do is to stand the fact
that last ye's alive. Right this minute, both of us
my car, mister Sanders, mine will run yours.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Doesn't look as if it were very well.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I don't like this, hey do? Why why do you
think I accepted this case? Well, I'll come on, mister Sanders.
Let's look into this murder. You say it's going to
happen for your sake.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Mas Sanders, I hope at the lasher is alive.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And I hope so too, even though I did test
the man.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I think someone's coming next.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yes, I'd like to see hi at the lashter. I'm
Nick Carter. You're Nick Carter, the detective.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Yes, Fanta for gee.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I'm sorry, but he left strict orders that he wasn't
to be disturbed under any circumstances. Out of his orders,
I want to see him when he's all right. I
have reason to believe it might be murdered tonight.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
D well, Oh, all right, I'll knock on the study door.
He gets off before when I disobey.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Him, but i'll by it.

haven't seen no one tonight. I'm afraid you're going to
see me because I want to see you. How did
you get out there?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Nick? Well? Book at me? Fortunately his name was bad.
Then he's still alive.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Luckily for you, he's very much alive. Oh, Joey, do
you know mister Sanders here? Why? Yes, sir, he comes
to see mister Lasher sometimes.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
When was the last time he came to the house.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Let me see he hasn't been here in a long time,
at least for two months. Yes, yes, at least there.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Come on, but Carter, what's the idea of bringing me
here the police headquarters, because I want to look in
on my friends doge at Madison before we go back
to Lacker's place. Well, at least the last two hours
(05:57):
to pass quickly. You're which is in laboratory, was quite
an experienced cutter.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
At least the book one way of killing time while
they were establishing your alibi.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, the tag.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Hi am ada, oh.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Hi NX at the this is mister standards taget Madison.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Any further word from lasherix No Maty. I called Joey
a half hour ago. He reported Lasher was still very
much alive. God. I sent four men up there as
who suggested just to cover the house and start keep
a watch over lash.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Thank many.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I also did some checking down here. You know, Nick
lash year was about the toughest due we've ever had. Yeah,
so I recall one of the boys he put away,
and one who hated Lasher like poison, got out of
prison yesterday.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Who is he? Pete Arnold? Lasher got him sent up
for fifteen years for armed robbery, and the day he
was sentenced, Arnold swore he'd get Lasher for sending him up.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I think I remember him wasn't he a big, power,
awful fellow.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, me and dangerous too. You know, Nick, I think
we ought to go see last Year again, whether he
likes it or not.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I think you've got something there, Maddy.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Let's go. Come on Sanders, all right, where you go?
I go for tonight. At least.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
You got your men well hidden. Matty didn't say one
anywhere else here?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
All right, Next, don't worry about that. Hello. Oh it's
you again, mister Cotton. Yes, Joy, And this time we're
going to talk to mister last Her. Orders or no orders. Well,
it's at your own works, going, that's the last Year.
I'm coming in. I want to pay. Hey, I don't
know he can't see he's dead. All right, Well, everyone
(07:54):
say right where you are. Don't touch a thing.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Let me see.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
There's no bloodness, no no sign of a trouble here.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Just that terrible expression on his face.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Maybe that means just one thing, that the Lasher was poisoned.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Next, Simon was here with him. Look at that bottle
of blick room. There's two glasses here on the desk, and.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
The glass beside Lasher's hand is empty, but.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The other one's pro I'll call a medical examiner and
my homicide boys. Are you four go back in the
living room. I don't want anything to sturgeon here intentionally
or rutherwise. Hey, next, A little while ago, two of
(08:39):
the men I got outside because someone tearing to the
window of the study where we found Laser's body. They
catch him, No, they lost him in the darkness.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
They said, he resembles Pete Arnold in size. So the
windows being dust for prints, and so the bottle and vests,
all those glasses are hobnailed, Maty, they're too rough to
take an impression. Yeah, I'm afraid you're right. Well I'm
going back in this Nick, you carry your okay, Maddie, Joey.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Why did mister lasher and fist upon being alone tonight?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
All I know is that every once in a while
he clear everybody out of a house except me, and
my job was to see that nobody disturbed him.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
When was the last time that happened. Well, I'm not
sure about a year ago, I get Nick. Oh, yes, Maddie, yes,
there were prints on the window. That's Pete Arnolds, that's so.
And the medical examiner says he thinks it's.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Poison just in the glass that Lasher drank from.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Now, in both classes, the murderer must have slipped the
poison into the bottle before it was poured.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Well, one thing is sure Sanders didn't kill him.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
He was with us all the time.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Thank hum's going to those kind words. Well, I'll get
back to headquarters and take something breaks down there. Okay, Maddie,
you'll fall me. Just the film of the poisons identified
you better well mixed if I find out where two
lucky things happened to me tonight. That's so last year's
damn ton saved from bankruptcy. Oh so I ran into
(10:02):
Nick Carter, who furnished me with a perfect alibi. I'm
not even suspected of the murder.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, I'm lucky man, missus Sandy. Now there was something
said about of food.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
The food. Oh yeah, I've got the cash right with me, Yes,
and five one hundred dollar bills.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Oh luckily, are you on mister continent?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Ten thousand dollars for three hours work?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
And that's how does this happen?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
You're carrying all that money around? Why I don't always
carry a lot of cash? Wouldn't be that you perfectly
had that much on your so you could wave it
under my nose if I didn't want to take the case.
Why I didn't even know idea you? Oh when you
collided with me, the radiator of your car was almost cold.
Yet you said you've been driving around. You know I
had been. I doubt that. I believe you were parked
at the curb until you thought pattin me start away.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
From my house.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
The lady were waiting for it. Are you trying to
say that I framed that smash up? I am.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You deliberately planned to have me in front of you
with an alibi.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I suppose next you'll say that I actually murdered like it? Yeah,
I think it is.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Oh, how.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
How could I have been with you and be at
this house at the kame time. I don't know the
answers yet, but I'm going to find them. I'm sure
you killed him. I don't have to stand here and
lit in the slander. Are not free to leave yet,
Sanders will figure around. Don't worry. I'll you around if
you need me.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Look what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
He just took a ten thousand dollars sea from mcclient
and then accused him of murder.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That's right, Bessy.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Well, I don't understand he was with us when it happened.
You and I are his.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Alibi, I know, But in spite of that, I'm positive
Sanders killed William Lesher. As the case moved swiftly to
a climax, Nick and Patty serve as the alibi for.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
The man Nick accuses of murder, and just the moment
we learn whether.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Nick can make this accusation stand. Now back to the
case of the perfect alibi. To day's adventure with Nick Carterer,
wrought to you by a new post war old Dutch cleanser,
and a short time later the police are gone make
(12:17):
him past her upstairs investigating Lash's bedroom. Well, there's nothing
here that gives us any crew.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Uh huh? Do you really think you murdered last year?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I do?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
What about two Donald's worried till last some day?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Peter Donald didn't.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Do this job?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
How can you be so sure about that?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Last her? New Ronald looked dangerous? What he've invited him
in for a drink?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
No, No, I don't supposed to.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Besides, man like Arnold don't use poison when they kill. Yes,
it's me kay, Oh, come on in yes, Joey. I
thought i'd see if there was anything I could do.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Oh, yes, yes, that's there is.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Joey. Uh Bleshi was obviously a hot tempered man. Was
he always dead? Way?
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Oh no, that was just.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
On the surface. Underneath he was a swell guy.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Oh that's so white.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
He built a new wing on the hospital and cost
him a quarter of a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's the Bridstone Wings. Why the years that name because
he didn't want his own name life. He didn't even
want anybody to know he paid for him.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Who was Bladstone anyone special?
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Oh yeah, mister Blydstone saved mister Lash's life in the
First World War and he was nearly killed doing it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
He used to come here every year to talk about
the war and old times and stuff. It was sort
of an anniversary. You know where Blackstone is now.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
He died five years ago. Oh, mister Maddick calling him
up the boys and okay, thanks about this life coming.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I mean strap Stocks.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
He always like, oh trip, you're all right, are your boy?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
No, I don't think so. There was something stretched across
the stairway. I started to hit my ankle. Then I
lost my bound.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
See that's too bad Sanders did that. Huh, I'm scared.
He knew I expected a phone call and wanted.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Me to break my neck.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
He tripped.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
So what was the trip?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Me?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
There's an open stairway with a railing on both sides.
I could have passed a wire or a cord across
the steps, pulled it up as it came down, then
pulled a hard free and got away. Oh gosh, what
a dirty trick.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I'll say, help me up, man, Okay, I'm all right.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I'm gonna be helping the studio. Bet m get down
there and rest for a bit. Okay, I tell you
say now until you feel okay. I will.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh you make that charge of Madison, probably wondering what
on the throm so I answer it?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Oh no, I'll got it.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
That card is speaking.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Look, why don't you you answer the phone? I was
getting both set to come out there and see if
you were still alive. Sorry, Mary has to try to
answer your first call, but to fall down the stairs.
She fell, She didn't herself.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
No, no, I don't think so. Are nothing serious?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh? Good, well your hunch was right, Nick. They at
topped the shows. The liquor was poisoned. That was potassium
cyanide in the bottle and both sletted.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So that's why I work the fan.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah. Oh, by the way, you better watch out for
Pete Arnold. My boys never did see him leave the place.
Thanks Mary, I'll do that. But say says it was
poison cyanide? Oh ay joy?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Were there any more glasses to this that mister Lasher used,
Not that I know.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I never saw more than two of them. I see, Hey,
it's brandy imported from friend more than forty years old.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Going it must be price me is that.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
You go in for that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
At whom last year they're forty year old brandy have
to read somebody very special. It's the Carter I remember now, Yeah,
mister Blystone. Every time he came.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Here, that bottle of brandy would turn on. Well now
and about a year is it once? About a year
since mister Blystone died, I'd found the bottle here on
the desk again with the two glasses he'd last or
drank much. He never drank, mister Carter, except or maybe
the times I found the bottle left.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
On the desk.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yes, take me a quickly by the window.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
That's butter the best the second floor.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Couldn't Could that be in?
Speaker 1 (16:43):

find out.

He's got out of the garage now on around the
west corner.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
He'll be with us as soon as he wakes up
having trouble, mister Carton.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
It's the calbo.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, Sanders, where have you been While all the fireworks
were going on? I was just walking around thinking, Okay,
suppose you take all the peak legs. We'll carry met
of the house. Then they'll all do some thinking together. Okay,
(18:07):
one handcuff around this wrist that chained behind the steam pipe,
and the second cup from his other wrist.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Let's take care of feet.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Donald for the time being Carter, Why did you bring
Ronald upstairs? Why not just turn him over to the police,
because there I know police here at the moment Sanders,
Mattie took his men away, figure that whoever had been
prowling around had gone.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Alright, all right, cutt peet, You're not fooling anyone. I'm
Nick Carter. Try to kill Patsy and me?
Speaker 1 (18:39):

Speaker 1 (18:45):
I was going it. But when I looked in the window,
he was sitting there dead.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Then what happened?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I heard the cops over the rounds I hit in
the garage? Why because I had the cops see me here?
They have franked me for the job. Nobody's rhyming you, Pete.
But the police are going to ask you a lot
of questions. Well, I guess I'll be here when they come.
(19:18):
Is this all you're going to do? Carter? If you're
in the study and wink, aren't you going to send
to the police. I'll be glad.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Chris Sanders, you decided to confess you're.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
A crazy Carter. You you have a man who tore
he'd murder Lasher, who even tried to shoot you don't
you know when you've caught.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
A killer, Sanders.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
There's an old photograph hanging on the wall here behind
Lacker's death. Looks like some of the men from last
year's old infantry company. Yes, that's what it is, mister
Carter picture. You got a copy of this? Yeah, the
third gum from the left, aren't you. Yes, there they
are name, yes, most of them, Brown, Myerson, Kelly, Blystone.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
And your New Life done it.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Click. I did quick charges. But if you're trying to
tie him into this, you're wrong. You've been dead for
five years. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So, oh, Joey told me, Oh, Patty coming to the
living room Mineralia.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Of course you do, Joey. Sure. Now, resting both of you,
I'm going to accuse Sanders of murder again, point blank,
and I'm going to show him how I can prove it.
Can you do that?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I'm going to try.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
You want to make him so desperate he'll do something
that was given up away. Oh but what about Pete Donald?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
That's cold, your Petsy. Nothing as far as las Yer's
murders concerned.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But if Keith didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And Sanders was with us, who was with last year
when he was killed.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Somebody had to be Letsie. When last Year died, there
was no one where it except possibly a ghost.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
A ghost. Can you try and tell me this is
best super natural case?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
No sim for the work. Have a murderer who planned
every move well in advance.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Oh now, let's get back to the study while I
tell Sanders how he murdered last year without even being present.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
He will be careful. Yet Standers may have a gun.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I shouldn't be surprised. That's where Joey comes in.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Gosh, I'll do anything I can. Okay, Joey, take one
of those heavy book ends off that table, go out
of the house and around to the back.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
You've had three minutes to reach the windows looking into
the study.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
But then then what do I do Joey When the
time comes for you to act, you'll know it without
me telling you.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Oh well, you back again?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Got her?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Is dere Standers wan establish some track.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Oh you knew a last Year and his dead friend
Blackstone from World War One? Suppose I did you knew
the Blydstone saved Lasher's life from that last year, and
Blystone made a pledge after the war was over to
meet once a year and celebrate the rescue. Does that
make me a murderer? Alasha never used lectric except once
a year, when he and Blystone each drank a small
glass of his spine old brandy, and that celebration always
(22:10):
took place on the same day, the date of Glasser's rescue,
a date you knew because you were there when it happened.
So two men celebrated an anniversary. And that makes me
a murder It does because you knew about it. Joey
tells me. The bottle of the two glasses were kept
in playing sight in the cabinet over the desk. You
must have seen them many times. Been very easy for
you to come here to see laser and then while
(22:31):
you were waiting here and to study for him, get
a patsy.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Of course, Sanders poisoned the bottle of brandy when he
was here over two months ago.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
He knew it wouldn't be you until tonight, and he
planned to set up an houribi for the exact time
when least there.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Would be killed.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
All right, Bose, if you put your ears up past
I told you had it done him.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Thank you till you found out about me? I did
you were too righteous to have Patsy and me be
your alibi. You were too good to pay too much
money for that a small job. I'm admitting nothing, Carter,
but don't move either of you. I have plans for you.
(23:17):
Standers back the way, his fingers tightened against the trigger.
We'll see what Nick does about this in just a moment.
Now for the conclusion of the case of the perfect alibi.
Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought you by new post
war old Dutch cleanser.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Sanders slowly levels his gunnet.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Nick and Pesty as he says he is were you
and miss Bourn get it? I hope you're down. Patsy,
nice going.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
There was some haymaker you landed on the store.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
He won't do any more shooting for a while. Are
you are marvelous?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You love? Run?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Will Joey boy?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Mister buller boy?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Well, the plan.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Seemed to have worked.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah. When Joey smashed the windows, Sanders reacted just.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
As I hope you were, And I said, if you
were a chance to go for it, yeah, I don't
know even'na have two prisoners now, Peter Hanold and Sanders.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
God, it's hard to believe Sanders killed Blaster and wasn't
even here when it happened.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
That's right, then, Blystone was the ghosts with last year
when he was killed.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Right, Oh goshness, that.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Was a clever scheme, yes, and safe too. The brandy
was never used for anything else.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
He simply said a murder check and waited for the
reunion to set it off right.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Which is murder in the first degree, as he will
find out very shortly.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Pay to the order of the community chest test. This
is the first time in a long time a murderer
money
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Has helped the word they cause the murderers
Time two great names are joined as new post war
all Dutch Clencher brings you one of the most responsible
and daring characters in all detective fiction, Nick Carter. That God, detective.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Me.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You just took a ten thousand dollars scene from the
client and then accuse him of murders.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
That's right, Patty, But I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
How could you have committed the murder?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
But he was rested when it happened.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
This I know you and I Patsy are his alibi,
and yet I'm positive he killed William Lesher. And now
the case of the perfect alibi. Today's adventure starring Lonclock
as Nick Carter, brought you by a new post war
all Dutch glender. It's almost eight o'clock in the evening
(00:58):
and Nick Carter and his the system Patty bond I bound.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
For the theater. It's one of those rare evenings when
Nick is not working.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Patty is happy enough to sing, Oh Nick hurts the
theater and supper and dancing.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh, we won't get home until.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
More an evening. Off the seat is not happy.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Oh I am happiness. There'll just be us tonight.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No policeman, no crooks, noo drives pas.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh that driver, I must be drunk crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
He's not injured. I'll tell him a thing or two.
Are you in there? You're hurt? So no, I'm okay.
I got out. Let's have a look at you. It
was my fault entirely. I'll be glad to pay all
the damage. What's wrong with you? Funny of light on
the street?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
You must have seen a comming?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I know I said, it is my fault. Here, here's
my license to my registration. I'll call my attorney in
the morning and he'll get in touch with you. Here,
Paul Sanders, Yes, you must have just started out. The
radio of your car isn't even warm. I was traveling slowly.
I was just driving. Your eyes shut well. My name
(02:09):
is Nick Carter. You'll need that on your accident report.
Your Nick Carter.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Really certainly is realized.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Mister Carter. I need your help desperately for what Mister Carter.
A man is going to be murdered tonight, and I'm
the man with the strongest motive in the world for
killing him. You have the strongest motive, Yes, I have,
mister Carter. You may be the means of saving my
life and the life of William Lasher as well. William Lasher, Yes,
it's not the man who used to be this a taturne,
(02:37):
that's right. He represents certain clients who are after my scalp. Naturally,
that makes him my enemy too. So I phoned him
just a little while ago. I argued and plead it
with him, but it was no use. He can ruin me,
and he's going to do it if he lives. It
don't make sense yet. While I was talking to him
on the phone, he received a letter by messenger. He
(02:58):
read it to me and accused me of gumus. It
said the glacier is going to be killed tonight.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Isn't the last of that daight? Or was so tough
or a huge let his name.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Go up reelect, Yes, Fati stepped on too many colds.
I must have a reliable person who will swear that
I couldn't have killed Glasher. Will you take the job,
mister Carcers And oh, mister Sanders, and I think maybe
I will. I'll pay you anything you ask, anything that
favor will be ten thousand dollars, mister Anders, ten thousand dollars.
Well that's pretty steep, but okay, I'll pay it, all right.
(03:31):
The first thing to do is to stand the fact
that last ye's alive. Right this minute, both of us
my car, mister Sanders, mine will run yours.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Doesn't look as if it were very well.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I don't like this, hey do? Why why do you
think I accepted this case? Well, I'll come on, mister Sanders.
Let's look into this murder. You say it's going to
happen for your sake.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Mas Sanders, I hope at the lasher is alive.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And I hope so too, even though I did test
the man.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I think someone's coming next.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yes, I'd like to see hi at the lashter. I'm
Nick Carter. You're Nick Carter, the detective.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Yes, Fanta for gee.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I'm sorry, but he left strict orders that he wasn't
to be disturbed under any circumstances. Out of his orders,
I want to see him when he's all right. I
have reason to believe it might be murdered tonight.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
D well, Oh, all right, I'll knock on the study door.
He gets off before when I disobey.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Him, but i'll by it.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Who's here, mister Sanders.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Name is Joey Wilson's nice boy. Snash is his guardian.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Oh, mister Latcher, mister Lasher, go away, I tell you
I want to be a stab.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You see, yeah, let me try the Lasha Is that Carter?
I want to talk to you. I go away. I
haven't seen no one tonight. I'm afraid you're going to
see me because I want to see you. How did
you get out there?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Nick? Well? Book at me? Fortunately his name was bad.
Then he's still alive.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yes, Sanders.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Luckily for you, he's very much alive. Oh, Joey, do
you know mister Sanders here? Why? Yes, sir, he comes
to see mister Lasher sometimes.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
When was the last time he came to the house.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Let me see he hasn't been here in a long time,
at least for two months. Yes, yes, at least there.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I see well now eight thirty two. Remember that all
of you.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Lasher is alive. Now what's more, Sanders, Yes, mister Gutter,
we're going to take further precautions to see that he
stays alive, at.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Least as far as you're concerned.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Come on, but Carter, what's the idea of bringing me
here the police headquarters, because I want to look in
on my friends doge at Madison before we go back
to Lacker's place. Well, at least the last two hours
(05:57):
to pass quickly. You're which is in laboratory, was quite
an experienced cutter.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
At least the book one way of killing time while
they were establishing your alibi.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, the tag.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Hi am ada, oh.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Hi NX at the this is mister standards taget Madison.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Any further word from lasherix No Maty. I called Joey
a half hour ago. He reported Lasher was still very
much alive. God. I sent four men up there as
who suggested just to cover the house and start keep
a watch over lash.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Thank many.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I also did some checking down here. You know, Nick
lash year was about the toughest due we've ever had. Yeah,
so I recall one of the boys he put away,
and one who hated Lasher like poison, got out of
prison yesterday.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Who is he? Pete Arnold? Lasher got him sent up
for fifteen years for armed robbery, and the day he
was sentenced, Arnold swore he'd get Lasher for sending him up.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I think I remember him wasn't he a big, power,
awful fellow.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, me and dangerous too. You know, Nick, I think
we ought to go see last Year again, whether he
likes it or not.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I think you've got something there, Maddy.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Let's go. Come on Sanders, all right, where you go?
I go for tonight. At least.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
You got your men well hidden. Matty didn't say one
anywhere else here?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
All right, Next, don't worry about that. Hello. Oh it's
you again, mister Cotton. Yes, Joy, And this time we're
going to talk to mister last Her. Orders or no orders. Well,
it's at your own works, going, that's the last Year.
I'm coming in. I want to pay. Hey, I don't
know he can't see he's dead. All right, Well, everyone
(07:54):
say right where you are. Don't touch a thing.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Let me see.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
There's no bloodness, no no sign of a trouble here.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Just that terrible expression on his face.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Maybe that means just one thing, that the Lasher was poisoned.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Next, Simon was here with him. Look at that bottle
of blick room. There's two glasses here on the desk, and.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
The glass beside Lasher's hand is empty, but.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The other one's pro I'll call a medical examiner and
my homicide boys. Are you four go back in the
living room. I don't want anything to sturgeon here intentionally
or rutherwise. Hey, next, A little while ago, two of
(08:39):
the men I got outside because someone tearing to the
window of the study where we found Laser's body. They
catch him, No, they lost him in the darkness.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
They said, he resembles Pete Arnold in size. So the
windows being dust for prints, and so the bottle and vests,
all those glasses are hobnailed, Maty, they're too rough to
take an impression. Yeah, I'm afraid you're right. Well I'm
going back in this Nick, you carry your okay, Maddie, Joey.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Why did mister lasher and fist upon being alone tonight?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
All I know is that every once in a while
he clear everybody out of a house except me, and
my job was to see that nobody disturbed him.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
When was the last time that happened. Well, I'm not
sure about a year ago, I get Nick. Oh, yes, Maddie, yes,
there were prints on the window. That's Pete Arnolds, that's so.
And the medical examiner says he thinks it's.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Poison just in the glass that Lasher drank from.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Now, in both classes, the murderer must have slipped the
poison into the bottle before it was poured.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Well, one thing is sure Sanders didn't kill him.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
He was with us all the time.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Thank hum's going to those kind words. Well, I'll get
back to headquarters and take something breaks down there. Okay, Maddie,
you'll fall me. Just the film of the poisons identified
you better well mixed if I find out where two
lucky things happened to me tonight. That's so last year's
damn ton saved from bankruptcy. Oh so I ran into
(10:02):
Nick Carter, who furnished me with a perfect alibi. I'm
not even suspected of the murder.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, I'm lucky man, missus Sandy. Now there was something
said about of food.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
The food. Oh yeah, I've got the cash right with me, Yes,
and five one hundred dollar bills.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Oh luckily, are you on mister continent?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Ten thousand dollars for three hours work?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
And that's how does this happen?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
You're carrying all that money around? Why I don't always
carry a lot of cash? Wouldn't be that you perfectly
had that much on your so you could wave it
under my nose if I didn't want to take the case.
Why I didn't even know idea you? Oh when you
collided with me, the radiator of your car was almost cold.
Yet you said you've been driving around. You know I
had been. I doubt that. I believe you were parked
at the curb until you thought pattin me start away.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
From my house.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
The lady were waiting for it. Are you trying to
say that I framed that smash up? I am.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You deliberately planned to have me in front of you
with an alibi.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I suppose next you'll say that I actually murdered like it? Yeah,
I think it is.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Oh, how.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
How could I have been with you and be at
this house at the kame time. I don't know the
answers yet, but I'm going to find them. I'm sure
you killed him. I don't have to stand here and
lit in the slander. Are not free to leave yet,
Sanders will figure around. Don't worry. I'll you around if
you need me.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Look what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
He just took a ten thousand dollars sea from mcclient
and then accused him of murder.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That's right, Bessy.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Well, I don't understand he was with us when it happened.
You and I are his.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Alibi, I know, But in spite of that, I'm positive
Sanders killed William Lesher. As the case moved swiftly to
a climax, Nick and Patty serve as the alibi for.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
The man Nick accuses of murder, and just the moment
we learn whether.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Nick can make this accusation stand. Now back to the
case of the perfect alibi. To day's adventure with Nick Carterer,
wrought to you by a new post war old Dutch cleanser,
and a short time later the police are gone make
(12:17):
him past her upstairs investigating Lash's bedroom. Well, there's nothing
here that gives us any crew.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Uh huh? Do you really think you murdered last year?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I do?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
What about two Donald's worried till last some day?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Peter Donald didn't.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Do this job?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
How can you be so sure about that?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Last her? New Ronald looked dangerous? What he've invited him
in for a drink?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
No, No, I don't supposed to.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Besides, man like Arnold don't use poison when they kill. Yes,
it's me kay, Oh, come on in yes, Joey. I
thought i'd see if there was anything I could do.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Oh, yes, yes, that's there is.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Joey. Uh Bleshi was obviously a hot tempered man. Was
he always dead? Way?
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Oh no, that was just.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
On the surface. Underneath he was a swell guy.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Oh that's so white.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
He built a new wing on the hospital and cost
him a quarter of a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's the Bridstone Wings. Why the years that name because
he didn't want his own name life. He didn't even
want anybody to know he paid for him.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Who was Bladstone anyone special?
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Oh yeah, mister Blydstone saved mister Lash's life in the
First World War and he was nearly killed doing it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
He used to come here every year to talk about
the war and old times and stuff. It was sort
of an anniversary. You know where Blackstone is now.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
He died five years ago. Oh, mister Maddick calling him
up the boys and okay, thanks about this life coming.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I mean strap Stocks.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
He always like, oh trip, you're all right, are your boy?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
No, I don't think so. There was something stretched across
the stairway. I started to hit my ankle. Then I
lost my bound.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
See that's too bad Sanders did that. Huh, I'm scared.
He knew I expected a phone call and wanted.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Me to break my neck.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
He tripped.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
So what was the trip?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Me?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
There's an open stairway with a railing on both sides.
I could have passed a wire or a cord across
the steps, pulled it up as it came down, then
pulled a hard free and got away. Oh gosh, what
a dirty trick.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I'll say, help me up, man, Okay, I'm all right.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I'm gonna be helping the studio. Bet m get down
there and rest for a bit. Okay, I tell you
say now until you feel okay. I will.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh you make that charge of Madison, probably wondering what
on the throm so I answer it?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Oh no, I'll got it.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
That card is speaking.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Look, why don't you you answer the phone? I was
getting both set to come out there and see if
you were still alive. Sorry, Mary has to try to
answer your first call, but to fall down the stairs.
She fell, She didn't herself.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
No, no, I don't think so. Are nothing serious?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh? Good, well your hunch was right, Nick. They at
topped the shows. The liquor was poisoned. That was potassium
cyanide in the bottle and both sletted.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
So that's why I work the fan.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah. Oh, by the way, you better watch out for
Pete Arnold. My boys never did see him leave the place.
Thanks Mary, I'll do that. But say says it was
poison cyanide? Oh ay joy?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Were there any more glasses to this that mister Lasher used,
Not that I know.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I never saw more than two of them. I see, Hey,
it's brandy imported from friend more than forty years old.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Going it must be price me is that.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
You go in for that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
At whom last year they're forty year old brandy have
to read somebody very special. It's the Carter I remember now, Yeah,
mister Blystone. Every time he came.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Here, that bottle of brandy would turn on. Well now
and about a year is it once? About a year
since mister Blystone died, I'd found the bottle here on
the desk again with the two glasses he'd last or
drank much. He never drank, mister Carter, except or maybe
the times I found the bottle left.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
On the desk.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yes, take me a quickly by the window.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
That's butter the best the second floor.

Yeah, Sanders, where have you been While all the fireworks
were going on? I was just walking around thinking, Okay,

of the house. Then they'll all do some thinking together. Okay,
(18:07):
one handcuff around this wrist that chained behind the steam pipe,
and the second cup from his other wrist.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Let's take care of feet.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Donald for the time being Carter, Why did you bring
Ronald upstairs? Why not just turn him over to the police,
because there I know police here at the moment Sanders,
Mattie took his men away, figure that whoever had been
prowling around had gone.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Alright, all right, cutt peet, You're not fooling anyone. I'm
Nick Carter. Try to kill Patsy and me?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
What a stap? Right then? What a stapp? And you
killed letter?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I was going it. But when I looked in the window,
he was sitting there dead.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Then what happened?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I heard the cops over the rounds I hit in
the garage? Why because I had the cops see me here?
They have franked me for the job. Nobody's rhyming you, Pete.
But the police are going to ask you a lot
of questions. Well, I guess I'll be here when they come.
(19:18):
Is this all you're going to do? Carter? If you're
in the study and wink, aren't you going to send
to the police. I'll be glad.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Chris Sanders, you decided to confess you're.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
A crazy Carter. You you have a man who tore
he'd murder Lasher, who even tried to shoot you don't
you know when you've caught.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
A killer, Sanders.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
There's an old photograph hanging on the wall here behind
Lacker's death. Looks like some of the men from last
year's old infantry company. Yes, that's what it is, mister
Carter picture. You got a copy of this? Yeah, the
third gum from the left, aren't you. Yes, there they
are name, yes, most of them, Brown, Myerson, Kelly, Blystone.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
And your New Life done it.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Click. I did quick charges. But if you're trying to
tie him into this, you're wrong. You've been dead for
five years. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So, oh, Joey told me, Oh, Patty coming to the
living room Mineralia.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Of course you do, Joey. Sure. Now, resting both of you,
I'm going to accuse Sanders of murder again, point blank,
and I'm going to show him how I can prove it.
Can you do that?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I'm going to try.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
You want to make him so desperate he'll do something
that was given up away. Oh but what about Pete Donald?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
That's cold, your Petsy. Nothing as far as las Yer's
murders concerned.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But if Keith didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And Sanders was with us, who was with last year
when he was killed.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Somebody had to be Letsie. When last Year died, there
was no one where it except possibly a ghost.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
A ghost. Can you try and tell me this is
best super natural case?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
No sim for the work. Have a murderer who planned
every move well in advance.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Oh now, let's get back to the study while I
tell Sanders how he murdered last year without even being present.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
He will be careful. Yet Standers may have a gun.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I shouldn't be surprised. That's where Joey comes in.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Gosh, I'll do anything I can. Okay, Joey, take one
of those heavy book ends off that table, go out
of the house and around to the back.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
You've had three minutes to reach the windows looking into
the study.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
But then then what do I do Joey When the
time comes for you to act, you'll know it without
me telling you.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Oh well, you back again?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Got her?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Is dere Standers wan establish some track.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Oh you knew a last Year and his dead friend
Blackstone from World War One? Suppose I did you knew
the Blydstone saved Lasher's life from that last year, and
Blystone made a pledge after the war was over to
meet once a year and celebrate the rescue. Does that
make me a murderer? Alasha never used lectric except once
a year, when he and Blystone each drank a small
glass of his spine old brandy, and that celebration always
(22:10):
took place on the same day, the date of Glasser's rescue,
a date you knew because you were there when it happened.
So two men celebrated an anniversary. And that makes me
a murder It does because you knew about it. Joey
tells me. The bottle of the two glasses were kept
in playing sight in the cabinet over the desk. You
must have seen them many times. Been very easy for
you to come here to see laser and then while
(22:31):
you were waiting here and to study for him, get
a patsy.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Of course, Sanders poisoned the bottle of brandy when he
was here over two months ago.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
He knew it wouldn't be you until tonight, and he
planned to set up an houribi for the exact time
when least there.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Would be killed.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
All right, Bose, if you put your ears up past
I told you had it done him.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Thank you till you found out about me? I did
you were too righteous to have Patsy and me be
your alibi. You were too good to pay too much
money for that a small job. I'm admitting nothing, Carter,
but don't move either of you. I have plans for you.
(23:17):
Standers back the way, his fingers tightened against the trigger.
We'll see what Nick does about this in just a moment.
Now for the conclusion of the case of the perfect alibi.
Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought you by new post
war old Dutch cleanser.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Sanders slowly levels his gunnet.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Nick and Pesty as he says he is were you
and miss Bourn get it? I hope you're down. Patsy,
nice going.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
There was some haymaker you landed on the store.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
He won't do any more shooting for a while. Are
you are marvelous?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You love? Run?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Will Joey boy?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Mister buller boy?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Well, the plan.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Seemed to have worked.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah. When Joey smashed the windows, Sanders reacted just.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
As I hope you were, And I said, if you
were a chance to go for it, yeah, I don't
know even'na have two prisoners now, Peter Hanold and Sanders.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
God, it's hard to believe Sanders killed Blaster and wasn't
even here when it happened.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
That's right, then, Blystone was the ghosts with last year
when he was killed.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Right, Oh goshness, that.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Was a clever scheme, yes, and safe too. The brandy
was never used for anything else.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
He simply said a murder check and waited for the
reunion to set it off right.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Which is murder in the first degree, as he will
find out very shortly.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Pay to the order of the community chest test. This
is the first time in a long time a murderer
money
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Has helped the word they cause the murderers
