Speaker 7 (01:30):
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater Presents.

Speaker 8 (01:49):
Come in. Welcome. I'm E. G. Marshall.

Speaker 7 (01:55):
The word tragedy is as old as the ancient Greeks.

Speaker 9 (02:00):
What is the essence of tragedy?

Speaker 7 (02:02):
It's a dramatic story told about potentially a noble person
whose character is flawed by a single weakness. It's that
weakness which causes him to break either some divine law
or some moral prescript, the breaking of which leads inevitably
to his downfall or destruction. Such is the story I

(02:24):
am about to tell you.

Speaker 8 (02:25):
I owe my life to you.

Speaker 9 (02:28):
You have strange gifts perhaps, And when you've found the
golden fleet.

Speaker 8 (02:34):
How can I find it? Now? I cannot see, half
blinded by the snow.

Speaker 9 (02:39):
It's simple, Jason, here, look into my eyes?

Speaker 5 (02:47):
What's happening?

Speaker 8 (02:49):
I see?

Speaker 9 (02:51):
Would I could see?

Speaker 7 (03:02):
Our mystery drama, The Gift of Doom, was adapted from
the Immortal Greek tragedy, madeir especially for the Mystery theater
by Arnold Moss.

Speaker 8 (03:12):
It stars Kim Hunter.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
It is sponsored in part by General Electric, Citizen Band Radios,
and True Value Hardware Stores. I'll be back shortly with
that one. It was the fall of the year eighteen

(03:35):
ninety seven, just months before William McKinley had been inaugurated
as the twenty fifth President of the United States. It
was a time when the discovery of fabulous amounts of
gold in Alaska and the Canadian Yukon, screamed from the
headlines of every newspaper in the country, and in the
town of Thessaly, in one of the states of the

(03:56):
Great Plains, they had just garnered a harvest of another kind,
of tons and tons of beautiful yellow wheat. Phineas Calm
watches his nephew Jason as the hands prepare the grain
for storage in the tall silos.

Speaker 10 (04:12):
One of the richest crops we've had in years. Dad,
I predicted it way back in early June.

Speaker 8 (04:18):
I sow you did, Uncle, So you did too bad.

Speaker 10 (04:21):
Your father's no longer here to see it. Jason would
have given him no end of joy.

Speaker 8 (04:25):
We can't bring back to dead. That's true enough.

Speaker 10 (04:29):
Keep this up and you turn out to be a
very rich young man.

Speaker 11 (04:33):
I may or I may not, Uncle, for this that's
still in your hands, the farm and all it's with it,
go to you. When I can prove to my dear
uncle satisfaction that I'm responsible mature.

Speaker 8 (04:46):
Weren't those words?

Speaker 10 (04:48):
You know your father's wish as well as I. When
in the sole judgment of my brother, Phineas, my son
Jason has proved himself mature in his decisions, established a
responsibility in all his acts.

Speaker 12 (05:02):
Then and only then do all my earthly goods and
properties pass on to.

Speaker 8 (05:07):
Him, my son.

Speaker 10 (05:08):
That's it, Jason, What must I do? I've told you
half a dozen times? Go prove yourself a man.

Speaker 13 (05:16):
Show the world you.

Speaker 10 (05:17):
Can stand up on your own two feet and hold
on to the small fortune your father tore up on
the earth by sweating out his heart. And your prescription
for that proof that's up to you. You never raised
a hand to help yourself, and you know suggestions just possibly.
I do like what you read the papers, same as

(05:38):
I look at the headline.

Speaker 8 (05:41):
Here go go go.

Speaker 10 (05:44):
Steam of Portland out of Klondike, bound for Seattle, passed
through Huget Sound today with a ton of moral gool aborder.
Very interesting year or two along the Yukon River up
in Alaska, with all the hardships.

Speaker 8 (05:58):
Might be just the right medicine boy. Yet might come
back then or not come back at all. From what I've.

Speaker 10 (06:06):
Read, those are the chances we almost take.

Speaker 11 (06:09):
And should I not come back, then all this land
and property reverts to you. Not so, dear uncle Phinney
Chin your father's will.

Speaker 8 (06:20):
Well, I know.

Speaker 11 (06:23):
The kland thousand Chatty, I just might go, and I
might just surprise you, Uncle Phane, in more ways than
you would ever know. Look, Hector, look we're almost there.

(06:45):
The fog had last is lifting, Jason. That must be
the outline of the settlement. It's Gagway, cold Alaskin shore
where everything begins, we hope.

Speaker 8 (06:56):
I'm glad we too met back and see it, and.

Speaker 14 (06:59):
I too, j It's made the voyage on this great
ship Argo almost bearable.

Speaker 11 (07:05):
Be glad to see the last of it. I smell
the last of it. Ten to a cabin that was
never meant for more than two.

Speaker 8 (07:12):
And all of them in search of the same thing.

Speaker 11 (07:15):
Go like you, my good friend, Hector, and like you,
we'll pray that Lady Luck will smile on us.

Speaker 8 (07:23):
That's all we'll need you.

Speaker 11 (07:24):
That and a surprise to last at least a year
between the two of us.

Speaker 8 (07:27):
We'll strike what we came looking for.

Speaker 9 (07:29):
That's something that tells me, whatever.

Speaker 11 (07:31):
Happens, I can promise you that nothing in this world
will ever stop me.

Speaker 8 (07:35):
Nothing. I guess that means we've arrived. Let's see you.

Speaker 12 (07:45):
Got your brakets, heavy clothing, furs and.

Speaker 8 (07:48):
Robes, rubber boots, the mining pan.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
The horses pack equipping.

Speaker 11 (07:53):
Evaporated eggs and onions, flour, corn meal, rice and bacon.

Speaker 14 (07:57):
Hantlets, coffee lozenges, blocks of pemic.

Speaker 8 (08:00):
There's nothing that we lack.

Speaker 12 (08:02):
Why now, you lads can joke, but once you get
out there, you'll find that it's.

Speaker 8 (08:05):
No laughing matter.

Speaker 12 (08:07):
You take it from old Cannibal, Joe, I know from
sad experience. Yeah, but there's nothing like it. I'd still
be out prospecting if my health did not run out.
We weren't really joking, Joe. We know of the excitement,
or we wouldn't be here and the danger. Like everyone,
I guess we all keep dreaming of that great plaster
stream up in the sky, where flakes of gold will

(08:29):
glitter on the gravel bars, and nuggets the size of
birds eggs will be scooped up by the handful.

Speaker 15 (08:34):
Hey.

Speaker 8 (08:35):
I like the way you talk me. Boy, you have
a feeling for what's out there. Uh. You you said
you'd show us.

Speaker 12 (08:41):
Masks, and here they are, their little crude.

Speaker 8 (08:45):
I don't draw well.

Speaker 12 (08:46):
We're told the water route by revel No, no, the
wind to freeze is started. You can't get through the ice.
My advice is to take the Chilcool trail. That's one
right here, it's it White Pass trail until you come
to dead Horse Gulch, and then on up to Summit Hill.

Speaker 9 (09:03):
Is that the border where Alaska ends and Canada begins.

Speaker 12 (09:06):
Oh, you're catching on, you too, And then down into
the Tuchi Valley and then here you start pulling up
the Klondike riven till it meets a Yukon And that's
that's Rabid Creek right here, that's where you'll find the place.
I state my claim, the Golden Fleece, and you're welcome
to it. The Golden Fleece. I hope we find it,

(09:29):
Oh you will.

Speaker 8 (09:30):
With help you will?

Speaker 12 (09:32):
You see this charm, this amulative stone I wear around
my neck.

Speaker 8 (09:37):
I couldn't help or notice.

Speaker 12 (09:38):
It look something like a human eye gazing right into
your Scarletiz.

Speaker 8 (09:43):
Indeed, I want you to have it? What kind of you?
But why as a good luck piece? Right, Joe?

Speaker 12 (09:49):
Oh, it can be good, can be very bad, depends
who's wearing it around his neck.

Speaker 8 (09:55):
Well, now, if.

Speaker 12 (09:56):
You get to this point here alive, you'll be withing
a whisper the olden fleece, and by that time you're
both of you need every bit of help that you
can get.

Speaker 8 (10:05):
The help is there? What kind of help?

Speaker 12 (10:08):
Young Indian woman named Medica, daughter of a mighty Taggish chief.
She lives with a toothless old woman for companion right
near here. And this this ambulet, she give it to me.
She helped me once, might do the same for you.
But how how could she help? Well, that's something you'll
find out if you are lucky, if she likes you.

(10:32):
But I warn you, Medica something very special. Her own
people are afraid of her. They call her witchhi Yah.
She has this strange and unknown power that no one
can explain.

Speaker 8 (10:50):
So if you find her, bless your stars.

Speaker 12 (10:53):
But at the same time, watch your step, my lad,
Just watch your step.

Speaker 9 (11:08):
Jason, I tell you I can't take another step.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
I've had it.

Speaker 12 (11:12):
I'm a beaten man hecker. We can't stop thet we've
traveled off. Lease worry must I'm.

Speaker 8 (11:19):
Sure that we're nearly there. Oh, our food is almost gone.

Speaker 10 (11:22):
Our dogs have died of hunger, cold, exhaustion.

Speaker 12 (11:26):
And those icy winds they keep blowing, the blizzards never stopped.

Speaker 16 (11:30):
They bite into the marrow of my bone.

Speaker 12 (11:32):
If we quit now, all we've gone Troy has been
for nothing, and that's madness. Season to push ourselves to
death is equal mad.

Speaker 8 (11:42):
Then what's your choice?

Speaker 12 (11:43):
Get it the sleeping bags here where we are, and
slowly freezer starve ours house to death.

Speaker 10 (11:50):
At sixty degrees below zero, it won't be slowed.

Speaker 12 (11:54):
We already lost two fingers from frost bite. I'm half blind.
I'm staring at the snow. My eyes Oh, I.

Speaker 8 (12:03):
Seemed filled with red hot sand?

Speaker 10 (12:06):
And why why push on the loss of sleep?

Speaker 8 (12:10):
Come on, come on, let's move on. I can't not
one more step. Jason, you go on without me? Let
me die? Your here got cord? Can't?

Speaker 12 (12:22):
I'm oh fine, your feet you'll come and I have
got right off where Jason?

Speaker 8 (12:28):
I want you let me go on. I need your eyes.
It's like call me, you'll be sorry. Where are you going?
My honey? Knife? The blade is shark?

Speaker 15 (12:39):
Now you touch me?

Speaker 8 (12:40):
What's more down that knife? What's that? I would know?

Speaker 10 (12:48):
It sounded like, Jason, there's something moving up ahead.

Speaker 8 (12:54):
It's coming toward us. What is it? I can't tell it.
Let's get it.

Speaker 9 (12:59):
I think it sh he's a man, He's coming straight away.

Speaker 8 (13:05):
What can he want? What would he be doing the
end of nowhere? Say nothing? We're about to know you too.

Speaker 9 (13:12):
What you you come with me fast as you can
have one.

Speaker 8 (13:17):
Who are you? And where are?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
We?

Speaker 9 (13:19):
Have no time for questions? Now my shock is over.
There you come, you two. I am your friend. You
come while there's still time. You're feeling better.

Speaker 8 (13:39):
Jason, like one reborn?

Speaker 9 (13:42):
What honna toss more wood onto the fire? I will, Medica?
What honor has been with me since I was born?
She can't do much, but I am loyal to her.
I'm sorry for your friend. We did our best to
save him. His wish to die was greater than his
will to I know, Medika. And so you've trudged these

(14:04):
many miles to find Joe's golden fleece.

Speaker 8 (14:07):
That, among other things, you.

Speaker 9 (14:09):
Know, the amulet, the eye you wear about your neck
led you my way. It was my father's a great man.

Speaker 11 (14:19):
I owe my life to you, Caribal. Joe said you
had strange gifts, perhaps, And if you find the golden fleece,
what then?

Speaker 8 (14:32):
How can I find it? Now?

Speaker 12 (14:34):
I can't see half blinded by the snow.

Speaker 9 (14:38):
It's simple, Jason, Here, look into my eyes. Place your
hands upon my shoulders. Y'all look hard, look harder still, what.

Speaker 8 (14:54):
Happened? There are shapes beginning to appear.

Speaker 9 (14:59):
I could see for Dica, I can see.

Speaker 17 (15:02):
Of christ care.

Speaker 8 (15:03):
You are full of wonder.

Speaker 9 (15:05):
You've given me my eyes against a small gift.

Speaker 8 (15:09):
What can I do to show my gratitude?

Speaker 9 (15:12):
Stay here with me, Jason, Stay here with me, and
you will learn of greater wonders yet to come. But
understand there is a price to pay, which is with time.
You'll learn I Jason, it takes time. In the days

(15:36):
that follow, Jason dips his.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
Mining pan into the shimmering waters of the sunlit creaks, rocks,
the gravel in his miner's cradle, always on the alert
for the sparkle that spells gold, And as he does,
he speculates on what further, unexplainable wonders lie ahead for
him in this bleak alien land, in the company of
this strange woman with her mysterious powers. I shall be

(16:03):
back shortly with that two. The stampede for the gold
of Canada's Klondike some eighty years ago brought out the very.

Speaker 8 (16:21):
Worst in men.

Speaker 7 (16:22):
They came from every quarter of the earth, and those
who managed to survive. Became like addicts who understand their
sickness and can do nothing to control it.

Speaker 18 (16:33):
But Jason Cobb was the exception.

Speaker 7 (16:36):
Almost a year was passed and aided by Medeka's strange powers,
he has found the claim known as the Golden Fleece,
which has yielded its rich treasure to him. As he
prepares for his return journey to the States, he listens
to Medica.

Speaker 9 (16:52):
Why must you go, Jason?

Speaker 11 (16:53):
Why I've had my fill of caribou and bare stakes.
The moose hide polkes are bursting with my gold.

Speaker 8 (17:00):
It's time that I return to my own way of life.
I'm going back to claim the land that's rightly mine.

Speaker 9 (17:06):
But you don't need that anymore.

Speaker 8 (17:08):
I mean to have it. Why Because it's mine.

Speaker 9 (17:11):
And I am yours. Stay here, I don't belong here.

Speaker 8 (17:15):
I can't take up the Indian way of life. It's
not for me.

Speaker 9 (17:20):
Am I for you, of course, But.

Speaker 8 (17:23):
At another time, maybe you're in another place.

Speaker 9 (17:26):
Not here, that take me with you might be love
ad Jason.

Speaker 18 (17:29):
Take me.

Speaker 9 (17:31):
You know my way of life, so don't deny you
a small taste of yours.

Speaker 8 (17:35):
You may not like it. If you are with me,
it'd be problems, problems well the way the people think
back there incessily. You're an Indian woman from this frozen north,
and I will.

Speaker 9 (17:45):
Face what must be faced when that time comes. What
happens to Watona? Old Watona? She comes with us, She
die up here alone, but she will be no drop?

Speaker 19 (17:57):
You know what?

Speaker 8 (17:58):
Just my work, Uncle Phineas ses. You can you imagine
what he'll say or what he'll do.

Speaker 9 (18:04):
Your uncle Phineas may not have too much to say
or do. If that should be your wish.

Speaker 8 (18:11):
What does that mean?

Speaker 15 (18:12):
Media?

Speaker 1 (18:14):
It means you.

Speaker 9 (18:14):
Must remember that I can do for you what no
other woman on earth can do.

Speaker 8 (18:20):
You do?

Speaker 9 (18:20):
Remember? When do we leave to see your uncle in
this town of Thessaly?

Speaker 11 (18:27):
Tell me, my Jason, I've been away almost two years,
Uncle Phineas.

Speaker 8 (18:39):
I've come to claim my property.

Speaker 10 (18:41):
I know you have you in this wild creature you've
brought with you.

Speaker 8 (18:45):
Or speak with more respect, Medica? Is my wife? Your wife?

Speaker 10 (18:48):
This wild looking thing dressed in her hides, laden with
barrick on him and jell let him upset you.

Speaker 11 (18:56):
I have endured these past two years, the hardships that defeats,
the agony, the sorrow, and.

Speaker 8 (19:01):
Then to no success in victory. All of this has
made of me what you would call a man.

Speaker 14 (19:06):
And you call this acquisition your success.

Speaker 9 (19:11):
Calmly, Jason, calmly, I'm rich.

Speaker 11 (19:13):
Uncle, I am rich by any standard that you measure by.
I've called enough to purchase almost anything I desire.

Speaker 14 (19:20):
That's something still still what by terms of your dead
father's will?

Speaker 8 (19:26):
I still could hold the property you call your but
you would not. Don't push me, Jason. It's just possible.
I might.

Speaker 9 (19:35):
You mean you keep from Jason the land that's rightly his.
It depends what meaning you give the words like rightly.
I see you mean to cheat him.

Speaker 8 (19:46):
I mean to keep the things I have. My thing
depends on your point of view.

Speaker 9 (19:51):
We have enough and more, dear Phineas cub without what
you propose to steal from Jason. And so before we go,
I wish for you to have a little.

Speaker 8 (20:04):
Gift, ah, a gift for me.

Speaker 9 (20:08):
This little amulet round my neck, hung on this chain
of gold. It was my father's.

Speaker 10 (20:14):
That stone looks exactly like some human eye.

Speaker 8 (20:18):
What are you doing?

Speaker 9 (20:19):
I'd like you to have it, Uncle Phineas, here around
your neck like this?

Speaker 10 (20:28):
Who are you? You're not a woman you're some kind.

Speaker 8 (20:31):
Of a witch.

Speaker 10 (20:33):
What have you junk to me with your black Bagget?
My guest is being crushed. I can't breeze. I can't.

Speaker 9 (20:44):
No, my dick, your uncle is dead. Now take the
amulet off his neck.

Speaker 8 (20:53):
So what must we do do?

Speaker 9 (20:56):
The land's now yours, The gold is yours, and I
am yours. Whatever else you'd like is yours.

Speaker 8 (21:05):
We must get out of here as fast as possible.

Speaker 9 (21:07):
They'll think it was a heart attack.

Speaker 12 (21:09):
I mean, we must leave Thessaly forever, start life against
some other place where we're not known.

Speaker 11 (21:13):
Where I can keep you hidden. Where's that I I
must say it? Where they won't know that you're.

Speaker 9 (21:22):
Yes, mind, Jason, Where they won't know that I'm a foreigner,
that I do not be long among your people, that
I am strange and different.

Speaker 8 (21:31):
I didn't say that.

Speaker 9 (21:32):
I know you didn't. We'll go, of course, whatever place
you choose, and wrap me in my tuggish blankets, keep
me concealed, if that's what you want, as long as
I'm with you and you love me.

Speaker 8 (21:50):
You love me, Jason, do you not I owe you much? Medica?

Speaker 9 (21:53):
I know, I know, but that's not what I ask
If not for you are you in love with me?
We'll go new place, new friends. But I remind you,
whatever friends you make will be my friends. Whatever enemies
you make will be mine too.

Speaker 8 (22:20):
Jason helped yourself to a fresh cigar.

Speaker 12 (22:22):
I you, I've had my eye on you and Phoebe
as you dance.

Speaker 8 (22:27):
You make a very handsome couple. Well, I s.

Speaker 11 (22:28):
Friinary your daughter Phoebe is a beautiful young woman.

Speaker 12 (22:31):
Senator Crane, it's tom My Boy, not Senator charm.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
You know, I think this time as good as any
for my announcements.

Speaker 12 (22:40):
Ladies and gentlemen, May I have your attention please.

Speaker 8 (22:45):
Since our young friend.

Speaker 12 (22:47):
Our Jason Cobb, came here to Caranth County five six
years ago, he's done many great things for the people
of our county and the state, and may I add.

Speaker 8 (22:57):
For our great party. We're very proud of you. We're
here tonight to pay him for the honor.

Speaker 12 (23:05):
It's my great privilege, and I'm sure this comes as
no surprise to Henry to offer all of you tonight
the name of the next congressman from current county, that handsome,
brilliant seven of the people, all the people, Jason Carson.

Speaker 8 (23:24):
Why I thank you I'm honored. You all know that,
and if I am elected, I'll do my very best
to serve you. Jason.

Speaker 12 (23:35):
When I selected you, I picked me one show when
no one can stop you.

Speaker 11 (23:40):
Now krein the king maker and lay named, And that
reminds me, Yes, yes, John, the congressman from Currance should
be a married man. I don't understand a pillar of society, upstanding, steady,
with no marks against my time. I know, I know
that strange woman that you brought here with you.

Speaker 12 (24:01):
She and that old hag that follows her, we know
about them. What about her? She and the two small
sons that that doesn't count.

Speaker 8 (24:12):
That doesn't make you married, not not here in Corrence.
They're my signs too. Medica is my wife?

Speaker 12 (24:18):
Come on, my boy? Then never was a marriage, and
you know it. Get rid of it. The sooner the better. Medica,
that's her name, could spell the end of your career.

Speaker 8 (24:32):
What can I do.

Speaker 12 (24:33):
We'll just send a packing to the polar Bears or
wherever it was that you picked her up.

Speaker 8 (24:38):
Tom.

Speaker 20 (24:39):
Even if I wanted to my darling, my congratulations, I
hoped you'd ask me for another dance.

Speaker 8 (24:47):
I was about to please forgive me.

Speaker 9 (24:49):
Oh you don't mind my taking him from you, or
do you?

Speaker 8 (24:53):
Dad?

Speaker 12 (24:53):
Oh, he's all yours, Phoebe, dear, all your thanks daddy.

Speaker 9 (25:00):
I can't tell you, Jason, how pleased I am for you.

Speaker 8 (25:06):
Thank you, Phoebe.

Speaker 20 (25:07):
I just hope that when you get to Washington, with
all those tempting, beautiful.

Speaker 9 (25:11):
Young women all hanging on.

Speaker 11 (25:12):
Your neck, there's none of them I'm sure could ever
hold a.

Speaker 8 (25:16):
Candle next to you.

Speaker 9 (25:17):
I think you kind siding.

Speaker 8 (25:18):
I mean it, Phoebe. I think you know there's no
one that I'd rather have for a wife than you.

Speaker 11 (25:25):
Dear Jason, there are, as you're aware, some complications.

Speaker 20 (25:30):
I know.

Speaker 9 (25:32):
Do you still love her?

Speaker 8 (25:33):
I don't think I ever did, but I was grateful.

Speaker 9 (25:36):
We'll then send her back. It's just that simple.

Speaker 8 (25:41):
Perhaps not quite that simple.

Speaker 9 (25:43):
We'll leave it to Daddy. Do you know how, Phoebe.

Speaker 8 (25:47):
I won't have her hurt if I can help it.
If it must be done, it's I who will have
to do it.

Speaker 9 (26:00):
I'm glad you're home at last. The children missed you.
Can I get you.

Speaker 8 (26:03):
Anything, medica? I must speak with you, of.

Speaker 9 (26:07):
Course, A glass of milk, some crackers.

Speaker 11 (26:09):
Please listen to me. I've tried in every way. I
know how to help you and the children. I've been
generous with my money. I've given you what time I
could in a career. That's most amandy.

Speaker 9 (26:21):
I don't deny that.

Speaker 8 (26:22):
I won't beat about the bush.

Speaker 11 (26:24):
I'm Tom Crean's candidate for Congress, and I will be
elected come November.

Speaker 9 (26:28):
But Jason, that's so wonderful. I'm pleased.

Speaker 12 (26:31):
I cannot have you with me any longer. I'm moving
fast into another world.

Speaker 11 (26:36):
You must return up north to where I found you
and take wa Tona with you.

Speaker 9 (26:41):
You cannot mean what you're saying. Why am I Chason?

Speaker 8 (26:45):
Why you know as well as I do.

Speaker 9 (26:48):
You cannot be alone. You need my care.

Speaker 12 (26:51):
I won't be alone Tom Krian's daughter Phoebe, she's to
be my wife.

Speaker 9 (26:56):
I don't believe what you're saying.

Speaker 12 (26:58):
There is no other way. What we have had up
to this point was fine. But all good things, sooner
or later, must come to their end. I cannot have
you standing in my way.

Speaker 9 (27:10):
Old Phineas was right, you and your utter lack of manliness.
Where is your shame for what I saved your life?
I gave you back your eyes. I cursed the day
I did so I followed you, and I destroyed whatever
threatened you.

Speaker 8 (27:28):
My thanks, Medica, your thanks.

Speaker 9 (27:31):
I borne your children off, Medica. Where shall I go
home to my father's land, home to the people I
deserted and betrayed, the people that now loathe me. That's impossible.
Shall I go wandering around the earth a beggar pleading
for the world to take me in?

Speaker 8 (27:48):
You cannot. You must not hold me back. If ever
you had love for me.

Speaker 11 (27:52):
Then go and let me live the life that's destined
for me. It'll be best and safest for us, all best.

Speaker 9 (27:59):
I will not have the kind of best that leads
to suffering, nor will I take the kind of safety
which only ends in sorrow.

Speaker 12 (28:07):
Why not recall the good things that we've had and gone.

Speaker 9 (28:11):
Go where we have no land nor home. I told
you that there is no harbor to protect me and
my sons. What a fool I was.

Speaker 8 (28:19):
My sons will not go with you. You leave here
alone alone? You cannot They stay here with me before I.

Speaker 9 (28:27):
Let you keep them, Leave my babies here to be
insulted in a land that lows and hates them and me.

Speaker 8 (28:34):
I yet.

Speaker 9 (28:37):
Nothing, Jason, nothing.

Speaker 12 (28:39):
There's one more thing I heard you to remember you
trick me into all of this, You know that trick?

Speaker 8 (28:45):
Or call it magic, call it sorcery.

Speaker 9 (28:47):
All the same, Ah, call it love. I'll never leave
unless it is by force. Never you'll have to make
me go.

Speaker 8 (29:00):
Come to that.

Speaker 9 (29:01):
And while we're both remembering, I remind you that love
can be as brutal and as ruthless and destructive as
the deepest hate. I've loved you always, Jason. Well, once
I dared most anything to give you pleasure, to protect you,
I now will stop at nothing, nothing to give you
all the pain that you deserve.

Speaker 7 (29:29):
Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn, And when
that woman is endowed with a supernatural power, her fury
can become a blazing inferno of hatred. To what tragic
end will Medeka use her gifts? I'll return shortly with
that three and our old friend William sh Shakespeare wrote,

(30:02):
love is not love, which alters when it alteration, finds
or bends with the remover to remove. Oh No, it
is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and
is never shaken. Medeka would agree completely with the bard,
But now that Jason plans to desert her, alter his affections.

(30:25):
When it alteration finds, Medeka must make other plans, plans which,
in her innermost thoughts she had never anticipated.

Speaker 12 (30:35):
She's got to fight ust her. Why did everything I could?
If you won't move on this, then I'll have to
do it for you.

Speaker 20 (30:41):
How there are always I beg your pardon, father, Jason.
Medeka's come to see me, to plead with me, to
use my influence, and I can't handle it.

Speaker 8 (30:52):
She did come here.

Speaker 20 (30:54):
Please, both of you. You talk to her and do
what must be done without me.

Speaker 8 (31:01):
Please, she's come here to my home. How dare she?
I beg you to go easy, do nothing more to
hanger her. It may be just a little late for that,
A little late for what?

Speaker 9 (31:12):
Good, Senator Creem, you.

Speaker 8 (31:14):
Leave it once. You're not welcome here?

Speaker 9 (31:17):
Oh no, I stay, good, Senator, until I've had my say.

Speaker 8 (31:21):
You listen loud to me, Medeka. You're in this land illegally.

Speaker 12 (31:25):
You know that Jason is not your husband as our
laws go. I have an order for your deportation right
here in my desk, called proper signed legal. If you're wise,
you'll go quietly, with no excitement, no parade of tears,
no threats, and.

Speaker 9 (31:43):
If I go my children, they go with me.

Speaker 8 (31:46):
That's up to Jason. They were born here in this country.

Speaker 12 (31:49):
If he wants to keep the little animals, that's up
to him. But I'd be happier if you took your
live stock with you back to where all three of
you belong.

Speaker 9 (31:58):
You all like you in live stock animals.

Speaker 8 (32:02):
If you're still here to morrow morning, there one.

Speaker 9 (32:05):
Moment, Senator, I would ask a favor, a favor from me,
A little one. I'll need an extra day before I leave.
Another day, another day, and I will go. You need
not worry, my people keep our word. I have no

(32:31):
choice what tone of my old friend. It's clear what
I must do. Get me the robe, the golden colored
robe that I've been making, Fold it neatly, place it
in the wooden chest, be careful how you handle it.
And then I'm giving it away, that beautiful robe you

(32:52):
made it for yourself. I shall be generous, for generosity
can be the flower of justice. And now I swear
by Earth, by the holy light of the midnight sun,
by the entire host of all our northern gods, by
frozen waters of the icy sea, the blinding snows, the

(33:12):
makers of the moon, and stars, by all of them.
I swear that I shall do what must be done.
Nothing on this earth will stop me. Nothing.

Speaker 8 (33:33):
Well, Medica, tell me what's your plan.

Speaker 9 (33:36):
I have been thinking since last night. I've reasoned with myself,
reproached myself. I think you're well advised in taking this
new wife. With the rising of to morrow's sun, I
will be gone.

Speaker 8 (33:52):
And the children.

Speaker 9 (33:54):
I'm convinced that they should stay here with you, Jason.
How could they manage an ale? And that's alien to them.
They're babies. No, it's better that they should stay.

Speaker 8 (34:05):
I understand your wife.

Speaker 9 (34:07):
To be this Phoebe. I would like her to know
that I have no bitterness towards her, bear her no malice.
I'm sending her a little gift in celebration of her
coming marriage.

Speaker 8 (34:20):
A man can never read a woman's mind. What is
this gift? You're sending her?

Speaker 9 (34:25):
A dressing gown of gold threads, woven in an Indian design.
I made it for myself some time ago. I never
wore it. I will not need it now.

Speaker 8 (34:44):
She'll make no trouble, Phoebe, I can promise.

Speaker 9 (34:46):
Medica frightens me.

Speaker 11 (34:48):
There's nothing not out of fear. She's on her way
or she will be shortly. He knows that what is
happening is inevitable.

Speaker 8 (34:55):
Your father's made it clear to her that there are
no alternatives.

Speaker 9 (35:00):
Is that you dad? Come in?

Speaker 21 (35:02):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (35:04):
Who are you?

Speaker 9 (35:05):
What do you wish? She's I come here from Medica.

Speaker 8 (35:09):
What is it?

Speaker 9 (35:11):
I come to bring a gift to your young bride.

Speaker 8 (35:14):
I meant to tell you, Phoebe, I forgot.

Speaker 22 (35:16):
She asks that you accept this gift, made with her
own hands. You place it around your shoulders, young, happy
golden bride, Go.

Speaker 8 (35:28):
Tell your mistress that we thank her.

Speaker 22 (35:30):
She says that it will bring you all the things
that you'll deserve.

Speaker 9 (35:36):
I take my leave, young lady, sir.

Speaker 8 (35:42):
Shall we see what's in the wooden box that she brought.

Speaker 20 (35:45):
I'm not so sure I want to see it, not
even sure that I should take it.

Speaker 8 (35:50):
Coming from her, you're being foolish, Dear Medica means it
as a token to show that she bears you no ill.
Will she told me so open it?

Speaker 9 (35:58):
I will.

Speaker 20 (36:02):
Oh it's lovely, Jason. It's a full length dressing gown,
so finally woven with golden threads into some curiously beautiful design.

Speaker 12 (36:13):
I beg your pardon. I didn't know the two of
you here, come on in time. See the rich gift
your daughter is jest seen?

Speaker 8 (36:20):
Or what is it? Phoebe? Who's it?

Speaker 20 (36:22):
From your friend Medica? She sent it as a parting
gift to show there's no hard feeling.

Speaker 9 (36:28):
Just look at it.

Speaker 8 (36:30):
Well, why don't you take it from the box and
model it for us?

Speaker 9 (36:33):
Of course I'll put it on.

Speaker 8 (36:37):
What's that? Does that go with it?

Speaker 12 (36:40):
What lying at the bottom of the box looks like
a crude necklace of some sort. That's stone there, like
some human eye that stares at you and follows you.

Speaker 15 (36:52):
What is it?

Speaker 23 (36:53):
Don't touch it?

Speaker 8 (36:53):
Don't touch it?

Speaker 13 (36:55):
Really?

Speaker 8 (36:55):
What's wrong?

Speaker 9 (37:00):
Did I put three? My money's making off?

Speaker 8 (37:03):
I can't.

Speaker 9 (37:04):
It's like god, Dagger's gone, so I can't stand the god,
my god, fuck my hands won't.

Speaker 8 (37:12):
Know and then he hands still.

Speaker 12 (37:13):

and scorching.

the poison that you sent them.

You have done well. Wartona leave me for a while
with my two babies, Oh, my children, twas in vain
I gave you life. I once had greatest hopes for you.
But you look after me and my old age, and
all that will never be. Your father's seen to it

(38:44):

But the day will never come when I shall give
the children of my loins unto my enemies. Come, come,

See how it shines, how sharp it is. It was
your grandfather's, a great chief and a great man. This
dagger will guarantee that you, my babes, will never leave me,
Never leave your mother. Be brave and shut your eyes.

Speaker 16 (40:00):
Oh Medica, Why like the bolt?

Speaker 8 (40:02):
There's nothing else save you?

Speaker 26 (40:04):
Now when I say.

Speaker 9 (40:08):
What, why do you batter at the doors? Why do
you shake the bolts? The dead will not?

Speaker 8 (40:14):
Where is Medica? Where is that monster?

Speaker 10 (40:17):
Called her?

Speaker 8 (40:18):
Monster?

Speaker 20 (40:18):
If you wish, she's done no more than she's thought
must be done.

Speaker 12 (40:23):
Murder An innocent girl had a revenge and jealousy and
her curse father with her sorcery.

Speaker 22 (40:28):
Oh, Jason, you know not yet the full depth of
your misery.

Speaker 8 (40:34):
She plans to kill me.

Speaker 9 (40:35):
To come, my lord, Jason.

Speaker 8 (40:38):
Follow me. Where are you taking me? Old woman?

Speaker 9 (40:41):
Here to your bedchamber?

Speaker 20 (40:44):
Open the doors and you shall see.

Speaker 9 (40:47):
Ah, your son's, my lord, they're dead.

Speaker 8 (40:51):
I can't believe it. Who did this?

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Their mother?

Speaker 27 (40:56):
But why?

Speaker 8 (40:57):
In the name of heaven, why.

Speaker 9 (40:59):
You must ask her?

Speaker 8 (41:00):
Where is this awesome woman?

Speaker 9 (41:03):
She's wandering on the high cliffs outside the house, tearing
her garments and her hair.

Speaker 13 (41:14):
What are you litten?

Speaker 1 (41:16):
A man?

Speaker 9 (41:17):
Come too close to me, Jason, I warn you, stay
away from me. Your sons are dead because of what
you did. I would not see them live, despised and
hated as I was, called me a monster. If you
wish for now, I've torn your heart to peaces after
you've torn mine. Help don't touch me, Jason, keep your

(41:39):
hands away. Look at the sea below, and the clear
skies above, and the scattered, soft white clouds. They all
welcome me.

Speaker 8 (41:52):
You're it sane.

Speaker 9 (41:54):
But I have not lost the gift of my great powers.
I use them now for the last time. I am
about to fly, fly high over the seas, back to
my place of birth, not to the place we met,
but back back to join the spirit of my father's

(42:15):
the gods of the midnight sun.

Speaker 8 (42:17):
Then jump and try yourself.

Speaker 28 (42:20):
Spare me the trouble and the shame.

Speaker 8 (42:22):
Jump rid the word of all your evil.

Speaker 9 (42:25):
Farewell, my Jason, remember me.

Speaker 7 (42:45):
A famous Englishman once wrote, few people know how to
love or how to hate. Their love is an unbounded weakness,
fatal to the person they love. Their hate a hot,
rash and imprudent violence, always fatal to themselves. And so

(43:05):
Medika's love, which turned to hatred and revenge, was the
weakness which destroyed not only the people and the world
about her, it destroyed her too.

Speaker 8 (43:16):
I'll be back shortly.

Speaker 7 (43:29):
The Medea of Euripides, on which our drama was based,
was first produced in the year four thirty one BC,
more than twenty four hundred years ago. This study of
a soul divided against itself was one of the first
plays in all dramatic literature to turn the spotlight on
some of the complexities of feminine human nature, its capacity

(43:53):
for passionate love, murderous hate, pride, will power, ferocity, super hue,
human energy. A cast included Kim Hunter, Mason Adams, Arnold Moss,
Russell Horton, and Briana Rayburn. The entire production was under
the direction of Hyman Brown.

Speaker 28 (45:50):
All rolls and quid, and at the close of tonight's broadcast,

(46:19):
we have three very important guests we wish to introduce.
Don't miss this special feature on tonight program. These true
crime dramatizations are created and sponsored by Rio Grande because
this company is in such close touch.

Speaker 30 (46:33):
With police work in the many leading cities and counties
of the West that specify Rio grand gasoline exclusively to
power their police and emergency cars, and the drivers of
these police cars are such boosters for this gasoline. The
Rio Grande is proud to tell the public through this
program of the heroic deeds of the police officers who

(46:53):
use Rio Grandi Crack gasoline daily to meet emergencies. Cruising
slowly along hour after hour, these police cars suddenly get a.

Speaker 28 (47:01):
Radio call for help. Down goes the throttle, the engine
roars into action.

Speaker 30 (47:06):
Rio grand Cract gasoline meets the emergency with instantaneous power.
Precious seconds are saved as Rio grand Decract develops top
speed without the sluggishness or delay characteristic of uncracked gasolines.
No wonder thousands of police drivers and the drivers of
fire engines, ambulances and motorcycles are so enthusiastic.

Speaker 28 (47:24):
About Rio Grande cracks. No wonder this gasoline.

Powers more emergency equipment every perid is sold than any
other brand. The most convincing proof of the efficiency of

In your car, too, Riogrand Decract will produce the same
sensational speed, power and acceleration that makes other uses of
Leogrand Decract gasoline boasts about their police car performed. Now,
it is our pleasure to present Captain Burt Wallace, head
of the Hump Side Squad of the Los Angeles Police Department,

(48:02):
Captain Wallace, good evening friends. How much money would you
want to risk your lives day in and day out?
How much would you demand to take a job where
you knew that any moment your career might be permanently
ended by a bullet? Would you want a hundred dollars
a week to take such a risk, or do you
value your life at a higher rate say five hundred
or a thousand, whatever.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
Your evaluation is.

Speaker 30 (48:23):
I feel sure you would expect more for such a
risk than your police officers receive. And your police officer,
every moment he is on duty, is taking this risk
that the peace of your community may not be violated.
This statement is no idle romancing. There isn't a police
officer on the force who has not had a brother
officer and close friend taken from him by.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
The bullet of a law breaker.

Speaker 30 (48:44):
No one realizes more than the police officer the real
meaning of that much use phrase the war against crime.
It is a real war to these men who may
at any moment sacrifice their lives.

Speaker 28 (48:55):
It is a fight to the finish. As you may
realize after hearing the details.

Speaker 30 (48:59):
Of the Holman, which started with a routine police matter
and ended with three tombstones in the cemetery, it is

Abe Schillard. Yeah, what's the one important foregery. Here's the
warrant for his arrest, and here's his mug in description.
Who hum, but quite a record, hasn't he.

Speaker 8 (49:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (49:43):
You got any tips on where we might find him? Captain, Yes, Lindley.
According to the sheriff's information, he's pretty thick with the
girl by the name of Floe Barnes. You got a
little spot out on Wiltshire near Whitman. I've goutted the
address down here, and I suggest you go out and
talk to her first. Okay, cap, we'll get on it

Speaker 2 (50:44):
Where's Abe Shiller?

Speaker 21 (50:45):
I don't know on the level I don't expecting him. Well,
I never know what he's gonna drop around. Maybe he
will and maybe he won't.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
I think we just drop in and wait for it.

chili cord.

Speaker 2 (56:09):

Speaker 23 (56:12):
Well, yeah, that's him.

Speaker 18 (56:13):
Are you sure positive?

Speaker 2 (56:15):
Get me to complain for it? Hello? Put out an
all cars broadcast to pick up Andrew Holman, described as
American five feet eight inches, one hundred and thirty pounds
thirty five years Slenderville.

Speaker 30 (56:35):
But with every Los Angeles police officer alertly watching for
the murder of Detective Lead, and with every California city
and county promising cooperation in the man hunt, and the
Holman cleverly continues to elude capture.

Speaker 28 (56:46):
A month later, he is still in Liberty.

Speaker 30 (56:49):
Planning another crime in an east Side speakeasy with his
two confederates Sterling McLean Smith and Tommy Bender, and Tommy's
girl Stella.

Speaker 33 (56:58):
Hey, boys, this'll be a cinch. A little branch bank
out in a valley and not a bow from my.

Speaker 31 (57:03):
I'm mister wig. It's good for any finally.

Speaker 33 (57:05):
Ought to be twenty granted that place, Tommy, you're gonna
have a swell time up when Tommy spends six or
seven thousand bucks, ain't just dollar?

Speaker 31 (57:12):
Yeah, you don't sound very interested.

Speaker 17 (57:14):
I'm sure I'm insisted in keeping Tommy out of trouble.

Speaker 31 (57:18):
He can't get into no trouble on this job. It's
a pushover.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Don't you worry about me? Baby? Are you all right?

Speaker 31 (57:24):
All you've got to worry about.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
Is how you'll spend the door.

Speaker 31 (57:26):
Hey, listen, Stella, I I want to pick him.

Speaker 33 (57:28):
See, and when I met Tommy up at Quentin, I
sized him up for a smart chin. The only oasionally
took that reference because he made a mistake and he
learned lots of lessons in stern, didn't you, Tommy?

Speaker 2 (57:39):
You bet?

Speaker 35 (57:40):
It seems to me he didn't learn the most important
pleasant Yeah, what's that that you can't win against the ball?

Speaker 36 (57:47):
That's what's a dame? No, but this is record dames.
Don't they have any opinions?

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Dames out have been lived in home?

Speaker 31 (57:54):
All right, mac leh or seller.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
He just made a general statement.

Speaker 36 (57:59):
Seems to me, You guys, you're wasting letter time shooting
off your face.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
When do we pull this job Inny?

Speaker 33 (58:06):
Tomorrow morning about eleventh Conny, the banks putting up to
Then you'll handle a cormack and Tommy and me will
knock the joint over.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Don't you think I got to go in with you?

Speaker 33 (58:16):
No, I want to give Tommy a little first hand experience.
I've got a lot of confidence in them.

Speaker 35 (58:21):
See, thanks Hendy, Tommy, If you don't mind, i'd like
to take me home.

Speaker 17 (58:25):
I'm not a headache.

Speaker 33 (58:26):
Oh sure, honey, I'll be glad to only well, we
got to plan this thing, of course, if you don't
want to leave it and take a care lord that baby.

at nine o'clock.

Speaker 31 (58:42):

Speaker 31 (58:47):
Okay, Kid Seller and kid.

Speaker 17 (58:53):

Speaker 13 (58:55):
Yeah, but I got a baby.

Speaker 23 (58:56):
I'm in this thing with them.

Speaker 17 (58:57):
But you don't have to be. We're only out of
prece two months and you're starting in again. You know
what they do when you.

Speaker 2 (59:03):

Speaker 31 (59:04):
They never got to know anything about it.

Speaker 33 (59:06):
With that door, you would I can d walk to
China in someplace and be set for the rest of
our lives.

Speaker 35 (59:09):
I'll never touch a cent of that money, Tommy, what
I mean it? If you go out on mat job
with him tomorrow, I'm through with you. Can't you see
what you're running into, even if it wasn't wrong. You
can't trust that Andy Holman.

Speaker 17 (59:21):
He doubled cross his own mother.

Speaker 31 (59:23):
Now listen, Stella, you don't know Andy. He's a swell guy.

Speaker 13 (59:26):
Why.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
He did more for me up in quitting than anybody.
He made it easy for me with a big shot
up there. I owe him plenty.

Speaker 17 (59:32):
So your idea of paying him back is to hold
up banks with him.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Oh luck, Stelle, I'm lucky that he wants me to
work with him. There's plenty of other guys that jump
with the chance.

Speaker 31 (59:41):
I'm a lucky guy.

Speaker 35 (59:41):
I tell you you're an ungaronished fool, Tommy, And if
you go out with Andy tomorrow, you've seen me for
the last time.

Speaker 33 (59:56):
All right, folks, we'll leave it now, and if you
know what's good for you, you'll knock that out of
Pete for five minutes about it?

Speaker 31 (01:00:03):
Come, here's the door, and what everything? I can move
into this polk? Good? Give it to me. Are you
covering me while I get into that car? Okay? I

Speaker 37 (01:00:23):

Speaker 33 (01:00:35):
Come along with me, bend it off for what turnkey.
They're not gonna question me again?

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Are they?

Speaker 31 (01:00:39):
Hope you gotta visit it?

Speaker 38 (01:00:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:00:41):
Who is it?

Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Come on in this office here, still old Tommy darling.
But you said you never see me again?

Speaker 5 (01:00:49):
What on that job?

Speaker 27 (01:00:50):
I know it?

Speaker 17 (01:00:50):
But you idiot? I guess I'd forgive anything you did.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
Oh got you?

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
You don't know what it means?

Speaker 31 (01:00:55):
So though I have at least one friend.

Speaker 17 (01:00:57):
In the world, come on, sit down at this desk here,
tell me all about it. You look worn out. Have
they been hot on you?

Speaker 33 (01:01:03):
Well, haven't let me get much sleep trying to find
out who was on the.

Speaker 31 (01:01:06):
Job with me.

Speaker 17 (01:01:07):
Why don't you tell them?

Speaker 13 (01:01:08):
Not me?

Speaker 31 (01:01:09):
I'm a squealer?

Speaker 17 (01:01:09):
Oh Tommy, you're such.

Speaker 31 (01:01:10):
A fool, is Stella?

Speaker 17 (01:01:13):
Tell me what's the matter with you? Shouting like sad?
And what are you rumming on the table for?

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
See dead lamb?

Speaker 31 (01:01:17):
Yeah, well I might be addicted for this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Drumming will cover our conversation.

Speaker 17 (01:01:21):
Why don't you tell them who is with you? Honey?
They'll make it easier for you.

Speaker 31 (01:01:24):
Not a squealer, Stella.

Speaker 17 (01:01:26):
But can't you see that Andy double crossed you? He
drove away from that bank out there and let you
take the rap.

Speaker 31 (01:01:31):
Well, he couldn't help it.

Speaker 15 (01:01:32):
The cops were coming.

Speaker 35 (01:01:33):
He deliberately threw you to them to make his own getaway.
I told you that guy wasn't on the level.

Speaker 33 (01:01:37):
Well, even if what you say is the truth, I
ain't going to squad. I took my chances and I lost,
and well that's there.

Speaker 17 (01:01:44):
You know they'll throw away the key on you when
you go up this time.

Speaker 39 (01:01:47):
Oh that's just too bad.

Speaker 31 (01:01:48):
But I ain't going to get out of this.

Speaker 33 (01:01:49):
And then he's experience.

Speaker 17 (01:01:50):
I'm going to get you out, and I don't care
who pays the bill. I don't know why I should
break my heart over a fool like you, but I
can't help myself.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
No, Stella, Look it's better this way. I'll ride the
beef and then when I get out, I'll go straight.

Speaker 40 (01:02:02):
For sure, so we can start all over again.

Speaker 17 (01:02:04):
What you expect me to wait ten years for you?
You think I can stand that. I want you right
now and I'm going to get you. So that's real
lowdown on that job. Captain Tommy wasn't a bad kid.
He's just the fall guy. The men you want to

(01:02:24):
Andy Holman and Stuart McLean Smith.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
We're not half as interested in Holman for this bank
job as we are on a little murder rap. A murder, Yeah,
we've been looking for him for two months. He shot
a police officer in cool Blood just before Christmas.

Speaker 17 (01:02:38):
I'm not surprised he's capable of anything.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
Would you be willing to help us?

Speaker 17 (01:02:42):
I'll do anything to see that rap where he belongs.
But if I do, will you spring Tommy.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
I can't make any promises, but I believe that the
extenuating circumstances you've indicated will influence the jury when you
testify at his trial. Furthermore, I can assure you that
the reward on Holman's head will go to.

Speaker 35 (01:02:57):
You if you turn him in, even if I didn't
get us spends that reward, even if Tommy has to
go up.

Speaker 17 (01:03:02):
I'm not going to stop until I've turned Andy Holman
over to you.

Speaker 30 (01:03:11):
But Stella, with her underworld contact, is scarcely more successful
than the police has been in their search for the murderer.
Two weeks go by while the Avenging Girl spends every
waking hour seeking Holman, inquiring for him, visiting the places
she knows he frequents, and then as she enters a
coffee joint on Main Street one night, she sees Holman
and Smith seized in the back booth. Striving to appear casual,

(01:03:32):
she approaches them.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
Oh boy, oh hello Stella, Hey, mind if I sit down,
no help yourself.

Speaker 17 (01:03:40):
Well, if he's been keeping itself laying low, that's what
I thought.

Speaker 31 (01:03:45):
So what a tough on Tommy, Hey, Stellar, Yeah, wasn't
that just a bad break? That's all. We couldn't wait
for him with the bulls on our tail.

Speaker 17 (01:03:53):
Yeah, I understand.

Speaker 31 (01:03:54):
We've been afraid that given the works down of the
jail and neat sing.

Speaker 17 (01:03:57):
Now, Tommy, you ought to know that he's loyal.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Well, he's got nothing to do with it. When the
bulls start working out on you, Tommy.

Speaker 17 (01:04:04):
Can take it. It's tough on me, of course.

Speaker 35 (01:04:07):
I don't know what I'm gonna do for the next
ten or fifteen years while he's up there.

Speaker 33 (01:04:11):
You know, I never could figure you and him out. Stellar,
What do you mean, Well, he's he's a good enough kid,
but he's well, he's still a kid, and you and
you've got lots of savvy.

Speaker 31 (01:04:22):
He co done a lot better than him.

Speaker 17 (01:04:24):
Yeah, looks like I'll have to start looking around now
that he's out of the way, and.

Speaker 33 (01:04:29):
He wouldn't have to look far. What do you mean,
no farther than across the table?

Speaker 15 (01:04:33):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:04:34):
Max?

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Huh Hey leave me?

Speaker 31 (01:04:36):
H not Max. He don't exactly waste no love on women.

Speaker 7 (01:04:41):
I mean me.

Speaker 33 (01:04:43):
I had a yend for you for a long time, Steller,
and now that Tommy's out of it, I don't mind telling.

Speaker 17 (01:04:49):
You so Gee and he I didn't have any idea.

Speaker 31 (01:04:53):
Well, what do you think about it?

Speaker 35 (01:04:55):
Well, I think it'll be okay. He fell for it
like a ton of bricks. Captain, that big chump thinks
I'm going to move in.

Speaker 17 (01:05:07):
With him tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
That's splendid, Stella.

Speaker 17 (01:05:09):
Now here's the address, apartment three oh one at five
nine eight South Normandy.

Speaker 35 (01:05:14):

and he's expecting to meet me at the apartment at
five thirty.

We don't want any shooting if we can help it,
but we do want holman. If we can't take him alive,
we'll take him dead. There's just one thing for you
to remember, and that's what this guided to Paul Lee. Okay, boys,
take your positions, and you men on the outside, let
him get in the building. We'll try to arrest him
in there. You've got to be sure that he doesn't

But you can't do that shooting in my house.

place for you is right inside your apartment. Oh now,

it thoroughly before.

this one's plenty heavy.

Speaker 38 (01:07:37):
I open it up.

Speaker 37 (01:07:38):
It's larks.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
Yeah, we'll fix that quick enough. What the love of
Mike shut gun and a half doesn't turn up and
look at these boxes of thirty two shells regulars. We
just moved this across the hall to that empty apartment
the painters have been working in. That looks like a
good place to stick out to me. We can leave

(01:08:00):
the door open the way it is and then we
can have an unobstructed view of them as they come
up the hall.

Speaker 30 (01:08:04):
Okay, let betteran Gillan take up their posts in the
vacant apartment while the other four officers have secreted themselves
in the front and back of the building. The tens
two hours pass while the officer scanich passing car, while
the landlady and an agne of suspense faces her apartment,

(01:08:26):
while lead the Betteran Gillon stiff into the slightest noise. Then,
a few minutes before five thirty, a car drives up
to the apartment house and Holman and Smith get out.
At that moment, a friend of the landlady's telephones there.
As the two gunmen mount the front steps of the apartment,
Spencer and Davis across the street grasp their drawn guns tightly.
Holman and Smith are arguing as they enter the building.

Speaker 36 (01:08:47):
Lay telling Andy. They're going to get his grief if
you tie up with it still a twist. Dames is dynamite.

Speaker 31 (01:08:54):
Ah, you worry too much, Mike. He's a good kid. Hey, listen,
did you hear that?

Speaker 42 (01:09:02):
Let's layim out of here, all right?

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Don't don't you hobor citizens and nightbre you have already I.

Speaker 13 (01:09:20):
Said the second for you.

Speaker 31 (01:09:23):
In the middle of the shooter.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
You got Holman. He's over there on the sidewalk. But
where's the other guy. You're right between those park cards.
Stret's done on the running board. Dead. Oh boys, I
guess this Telly is up for Paul Lee's murder.

Speaker 30 (01:09:55):
The well aimed bullets of the officers save the people
the expense of a trial Stella. We see the reward
which offered there for the murderer and abe Schiller the
onwitting cause of detectives. Lee's death was subsequently arrested in
Santa Barbara and admitted his guilt of the charge of
forgery made against him by the Marin County authorities. At

(01:10:16):
this time, I want to thank the many citizens who
send information into the police department to help the law
enforcement agencies run down criminals. Tonight, I have with me
three young men whose names were in the headlines today
for their fine work. Did you read how three junior
detectives found the hidden loot of many burglaries on a
garage roof. They reported their discovery to the police, and

(01:10:38):
as a result, we have just captured the phantom bandit,
suspected of many recent burglaries. Mister Linsley will introduce you
the three members of the Real Grande's Junior Police Department.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
Thank you, Captain Wallace.

Speaker 30 (01:10:51):
Ladies and gentlemen, I will introduce first Winston Moore, captain
of his own squad of junior detectives.

Speaker 28 (01:10:59):

a burglarship there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
Well, that was mighty good work.

Speaker 28 (01:11:26):

Rolls Robert, this is Frederick Landsley, You're narrator, bidding you

(01:14:35):
good night for the real Brandy Oil Company.

Speaker 41 (01:15:23):
I'm so depressed, Dr Richard. I can't seem to shake
it off. I've tried, but nothing seems worth doing.

Speaker 45 (01:15:30):
Is it due to the death of your friend? You
think in part yes, in part you don't think it's
the major factor in your present mental course.

Speaker 41 (01:15:37):
It's the major factor, but I don't think it's the
only factor. Death has changed me. No use denying it.
But it's forced me to reappraise my life, and to
that extent, it's thrown me into a into a state
of confusion.

Speaker 45 (01:15:54):
In what way has it made you reappraise your life
your writing?

Speaker 28 (01:15:57):
Yes.

Speaker 41 (01:15:59):
Since Mary's deaf, I've discovered I can't take the same
pleasure in writing. I'm certainly tired of writing children's stories.

Speaker 45 (01:16:06):
Then why not try and write something else, something more challenging.

Speaker 9 (01:16:09):
It would be.

Speaker 41 (01:16:10):
Difficult to find something more challenging than writing for children doctors.

Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
Perhaps you're right.

Speaker 41 (01:16:16):
Before Mary died, i'd also lost a lot of money,
some overseas investments. All the money's gone, and I have
no family, no one close I can turn to for
help and advice. Mary would have helped me if she'd
been well enough. To that extent, Mary was my family.

Speaker 44 (01:16:34):
I suppose.

Speaker 41 (01:16:37):
I'm alone now. It's that fact which depresses me, frightens me.

Speaker 28 (01:16:42):
I see.

Speaker 45 (01:16:44):
You're what early thirties thirty two You're still a comparatively
young woman. You've got many years and wish to enjoy yourself,
make new friends, enjoying new experiences. Look, I could prescribe
tablets for your depression. It would be the easiest thing
in the world, but it wouldn't solve the root cause
of your problem. In fat misstaws that I can't solve
your problem.

Speaker 41 (01:17:03):
But if you can't, who can another specialist?

Speaker 24 (01:17:07):
No?

Speaker 28 (01:17:08):
You you yourself.

Speaker 45 (01:17:11):
How for a start, you have to get away right
away a fresh environment and new locality. Broad not necessarily
get out of London, go into the country, find a
small village somewhere, make new friends, find a new rhythm
for your life, and then rethink your future.

Speaker 41 (01:17:29):
And that's what I did, and that's how I came
to meet Missus Crozier and Christina. Missus Crozier lived in
a large stone house at the end of a small village.
At first, I thought I wasn't going to enjoy it much.
The house wasn't very agreeable, not in itself. It was

(01:17:50):
a good size, the rooms were well shaped, and the
windows were wide and looked out onto a large, pleasant garden.
But the rooms felt both cold and stuffy, and there
was a general air of damp and depression about the place,
as if it had not yet been left to go
to see it, but might one day soon. It's a

(01:18:13):
lovely house, don't you think, miss it's very nice, Missus Grazier.

Speaker 44 (01:18:16):
It's only five minutes less in fact, to the village store.
You can get most things there.

Speaker 41 (01:18:22):
The garden is beautiful.

Speaker 17 (01:18:25):
Who looks after it?

Speaker 41 (01:18:26):
I do all by yourself. Yes, that's amazing. You must
work awfully half.

Speaker 44 (01:18:32):
I spend most of my time out there, especially in
the summer. The house is not mine, you understand. Oh no,
I kept house for a family who lived here a
little while ago. My husband used to do all the
hard work in the garden. But when he died and
the family left well, I took it over something to do,

(01:18:55):
and the new owner and the agent agreed that I
could stay on and have the upper floor on scullery
kitchen downstairs for a small rent, while keeping the place
there and generally tidy.

Speaker 41 (01:19:06):
But how is it that you're renting it out?

Speaker 44 (01:19:08):
Oh, it's with their agreement, and it's only for six
months to begin with. A present owner works and lives abroad,
you see, and it's hard to hear He's bought the
place for his retirement and is one thing it occupied
until he needs it. Doesn't want to let it get
round down suits all concerned. Good afternoon, miss.

Speaker 41 (01:19:34):
Hello, Missus Grozier. I hope you don't mind me saying this,
But don't you think I've been here long enough for
you to call me by my Christian name?

Speaker 44 (01:19:44):
Oh I don't know about death.

Speaker 41 (01:19:45):
Well if that doesn't suit you, Miss Chaucer, would be
a start, wouldn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
Oh?

Speaker 41 (01:19:50):
Very well, missed? The radishes look good.

Speaker 1 (01:19:56):
Do you like them?

Speaker 41 (01:19:57):
Love them? I think that'll be enough. Yes, it's warm.
He doesn't bother me. Gardening helps keeping my joints moving,
That's what I say. Don't mean, Missus Crozier. Why is
it that so few people seem to come up here?

Speaker 15 (01:20:15):
What do you mean?

Speaker 41 (01:20:16):
Well, just that no one ever comes visiting to see us?
Well you mainly. He must have lots of friends in
the village, but they never call.

Speaker 44 (01:20:25):
I think people around here doo busied us the other time,
looking about the things.

Speaker 41 (01:20:30):
Things for what things? Missus Crazier? What do you mean,
he says, as if they expect to find trouble of
some sort. I don't know what you mean, miss I'm sorry,
missus crazier. Have I offended you? No, of course not.
I don't know what you mean.

Speaker 44 (01:20:49):
Are people not coming here?

Speaker 41 (01:20:51):
Idn't come here.

Speaker 46 (01:20:52):
If they wish?

Speaker 44 (01:20:53):
Nothing's stopping them. Excuse me, I'd better get these reddish.
It's gotten lost.

Speaker 41 (01:21:00):
But it was a strange phrase to use, looking about
for things. I admit it played on my mind for
a while, but then after a day or two I
forgot all about it. I saw Christina first on a damp,
calm morning in the late summer, when the sky was
still sulky from an unexpected shower. She was standing in

(01:21:23):
the garden in one of the flower beds, looking down
at something. She was a thin, pale haired ar, the
grubby little girl of about nine or ten. I opened
the window of my room to call to her. I
wasn't quite sure what I intended to say, not to
walk on the flowers. I suppose she didn't hear the

(01:21:43):
window open, though it was stuck and creaked as I
pushed it. She turned and walked away with unexpected abruptness,
and disappeared around the corner of the house. Oddly, the
garden didn't look quite the same after she'd gone. It
was like one of those unconvincing photographs that have been
touched up. You can tell where an outline has been

(01:22:04):
removed and there's something missing, something inadequate. What was that
you said?

Speaker 24 (01:22:12):
Is?

Speaker 41 (01:22:13):
Or what a girl in the garden? That's right. She
was standing in one of the flower beds looking for something.
I don't know what a ball. I suppose did you
speak to her? I opened the window, but before I
could say anything, she had gone round to the front
of the house. You didn't see her, then, Oh no,
I didn't. A smallish, very fair headed child, about nine

(01:22:33):
or ten. I didn't think she looked very well cared for.
She had a rather thin, thoughtful, obstinate face. She wore
a pale green cotton dress.

Speaker 44 (01:22:49):
Well, missus Crazier, No, mister, there wouldn't be any child
in the garden that I know of.

Speaker 41 (01:22:53):
I don't generally come up here. I'm not imagining it.

Speaker 47 (01:22:56):
I saw her.

Speaker 41 (01:22:58):
She must have taken a fancy to playing here by herself.
I hope she's not going to make a habit of it.

Speaker 5 (01:23:03):
I hope not.

Speaker 41 (01:23:03):
These olds, as the doctor had predicted, the change, the
peace and slower rhythm of my life were having positive benefits.
There I sat by the open window, with the heady
smell of pinks, the freshly dug earth turned by Missus Crozier,
and the intoxication of crushed grass drifting upwards on the

(01:23:24):
warm early evening air. It was a supremely peaceful moment.

Speaker 48 (01:23:31):
And then, oh.

Speaker 9 (01:23:33):
Kitten, oh kitten, what?

Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
Oh mummy, Oh mom?

Speaker 41 (01:23:40):
Is someone calling? Oh kitten, oh king, someone's outside, Missus Grosier,
Is that you, Missus Rosier?

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
Oh mummy, Mummy.

Speaker 41 (01:23:50):
In the shadows at the bottom of the garden, someone's
moving about.

Speaker 26 (01:23:54):
Oh kitten, oh kitten, Oh mummy, Oh mummy, is that
child again.

Speaker 41 (01:24:03):
If that's you again, go home, Go away, You've no
business here.

Speaker 49 (01:24:09):
He's gone now he's gone.

Speaker 44 (01:24:12):
Now it's all done.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
He's gone.

Speaker 50 (01:24:15):
Now, he's gone.

Speaker 49 (01:24:17):
Now it's all done.

Speaker 1 (01:24:19):
He's gone now.

Speaker 41 (01:24:21):
It was the little girl of that I was sure done.
And there was something about this extraordinary ritual that I
had to stop for the sheer sorrow of it is gone,
the feeling that I was unable to bear it any longer.
Myself has gone.

Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
Now.

Speaker 41 (01:24:37):
I hurried out of my room and ran outside, but
she had gone. You must have made a mistake. Miss
not ill treated in the real sense, perhaps, but neglected.
I can't help feeling that she comes up here for
help love.

Speaker 44 (01:24:56):
Maybe you're writer's imagination. Wouldn't you say so, miss No,
I would not.

Speaker 41 (01:25:01):
I saw that child as plain as I see you.

Speaker 28 (01:25:03):
Now.

Speaker 44 (01:25:03):
I haven't seen any child, nor have I heard of
one being ill treated or neglected. And I know most
of the people.

Speaker 41 (01:25:10):
Around here, and perhaps i'd better go and see the
local doctor. Maybe he can explain these hallucinations of mine
and can prescribe some treatment. I don't think that.

Speaker 44 (01:25:22):
Will be necessary. It's possible. Well, it could be the
grandchild of all Missus Baines. It might be her you saw.
Missus Baines is very sick, and her daughters come down
from London with her own children to take care of
her until she dies. I understand it can't be far off.

Speaker 41 (01:25:40):
You know what children are.

Speaker 44 (01:25:42):
They get bored easily, especially if mother is busy and
they have to be quiet about the house all the time.

Speaker 41 (01:25:49):
They roam about outside looking for something to do, and.

Speaker 44 (01:25:52):
So they get into mischief. Yes, it's possibly Missus Bain's
grandchild you.

Speaker 41 (01:25:57):
Saw, And I believe this seemed possible that there was
something wrong with one of the London children, and that
Missus Crozier didn't want to talk about it. I believed
it until I walked down into the village one morning
and saw the whole of Missus Bain's London family gathered
outside the post office. And when I told Missus Crozier

(01:26:18):
that I had seen them, and that none of them
was in the least like our garden visitor, she retired
into herself like a hermit crab. Then one night, when
the heat of the day had brought forth a parade
of thunderstorms across the sky, I went to bed early, hot,
worried and restless. The atmosphere was stretched, taut and dangerous,

(01:26:43):
like an electric fence. There was no real darkness in
the room, no sense of shadow or anything lurking, and
most of the furniture was clear to my sight. So
I cannot say how it was that one moment she
was not there, and the next moment she was. The

(01:27:04):
sight of the small hand stretched out in a friendly,
comforting gesture was as unexpected as a scream on a
sunlit lawn.

Speaker 49 (01:27:15):
I don't like the thunder's cold in here. Don't you
think it's cold?

Speaker 51 (01:27:25):
No?

Speaker 44 (01:27:25):
I don't like the thunder, do you?

Speaker 24 (01:27:29):
No?

Speaker 41 (01:27:32):
No, I don't Why are you lying here? Aren't you uncomfortable?

Speaker 26 (01:27:39):
The bed's over there.

Speaker 41 (01:27:43):
The kitten used to lie on it sometimes.

Speaker 34 (01:27:46):
The kitten.

Speaker 26 (01:27:49):
Used to lie there soft, She used to old, Please,
don't go away. I don't like the thunder either.

Speaker 41 (01:28:09):
The bed's over there.

Speaker 49 (01:28:11):
You should be over there, not here. Why don't you.

Speaker 41 (01:28:24):
It's all right, honestly, it's all right. Please come closer. Please.

Speaker 26 (01:28:35):
The kitten used to sleep there, the kitten, the kitten,
the kitten.

Speaker 49 (01:29:19):
Oh, good morning, miss good morning, missus last this storm
last night.

Speaker 41 (01:29:23):
Yes, i'd like to talk to you if I may?
Had your breakfast?

Speaker 8 (01:29:27):
Have you?

Speaker 41 (01:29:27):
Yes, always have a good breakfast.

Speaker 44 (01:29:30):
That's what my mother used to say, set you up
for the day.

Speaker 41 (01:29:34):
The young people today go off with nothing in their
stomachs except this. It's crazier. Well, miss you have to
tell me the little girl? What little girl?

Speaker 48 (01:29:47):
Please?

Speaker 41 (01:29:48):
You know exactly what I'm talking about. You knew what
I was going to say as I came along the path.
Don't let's pretend anymore. The little girl?

Speaker 48 (01:29:56):
Did you know her?

Speaker 41 (01:29:59):
Was she a child of yours or a child of
a friend of yours? Well, was she child? Oh my god,
wire you on about that again?

Speaker 1 (01:30:10):
Look?

Speaker 41 (01:30:11):
I don't wish to be rude, but can't you leave.

Speaker 28 (01:30:13):
It as it is?

Speaker 41 (01:30:16):
What made you say?

Speaker 8 (01:30:17):
Was?

Speaker 5 (01:30:18):
Do you know that?

Speaker 41 (01:30:19):
Since last night she was in my room? And then
she wasn't? She came and went as quickly as the
lightning flashed?

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
Who was she?

Speaker 41 (01:30:28):
Missus Crozier?

Speaker 9 (01:30:30):
You heard?

Speaker 41 (01:30:31):
You really heard and saw her? Missus Crosier?

Speaker 28 (01:30:35):
Yes?

Speaker 41 (01:30:37):
Do you mean you haven't seen her?

Speaker 44 (01:30:39):
Sometimes? Sometimes I've been sure I heard her. Only I
said to myself, no good would come of it, so
I tried to shut her out.

Speaker 41 (01:30:49):
But they were very good to me.

Speaker 44 (01:30:50):
About this place, you see, miss They her parents did too.

Speaker 41 (01:30:56):
Then she died here, and she's come back looking for
the kitten.

Speaker 44 (01:31:02):
I don't know what it could be. Miss If it
was her mother, I could understand why she's come back
to taught her.

Speaker 1 (01:31:09):
What do you mean?

Speaker 44 (01:31:10):
No, she didn't die here. Her mother did, but not
the child. They were an unease, misfitted, upside down family,
her dead thought.

Speaker 41 (01:31:22):
The whole world of Christina Christina is that her name.
Her mother wasn't all there.

Speaker 44 (01:31:27):
I think people said she liked to drink too much,
but had been cured of it, but that her brain
had never been the same. I never saw anything of
that about her. She was hot and no denying it,
and she was.

Speaker 41 (01:31:41):
Very dependent on those two.

Speaker 44 (01:31:43):
Christina and her father seemed as if she needed them
a lot more than they did her. You couldn't help
but feel sorry for her. They went their own ways
because he was a busy man, and I learned it
one too. And though he was fond of the little girl,
like I told you, he didn't spend much time with her,
but you could tell how fond he was of her

(01:32:05):
when they were together, and you could see Christina was
fond of him back. Only she hadn't any time for
her mother. Not that she could blame her, except that
it seemed unnatural. She was a spiteful, sly woman. Now, mother,
what about the kitten? She keeps mentioning the kitten. Oh mummy,

(01:32:25):
Oh mommy, Oh kitten, Oh kitten, that's what she was chanting.
Once she killed herself, who did Christina's mother? She hung
herself in the large cupboard in the room at the
end of the house, the old stone ladder. There was
a big eye and hook on the back of the door.

Speaker 52 (01:32:47):
Christina found oh my god, Christina found her, Yes, opened
the door. There she was hanging there, the sagging, shapeless bundle.
She hardly said a word.

Speaker 17 (01:33:01):
The child came to me.

Speaker 44 (01:33:03):
I was working here for the family. Found me in
the big kitchen. I remember I was kneading away at
a pan of dough. She stood in the doorway and said,
Missus Crozier, Mommy is hanging up there, and.

Speaker 41 (01:33:15):
I can't get her off. She looks awful, Missus Crozier,
And then she dropped down in a heath.

Speaker 44 (01:33:22):
And I was nearly out of my head of knowing
what to do. Christina's father was away, and I couldn't
get Christina to come around or wake up properly.

Speaker 41 (01:33:33):
I thought she was dying too.

Speaker 44 (01:33:36):
Oh, I don't know what I thought alone there in
the kitchen, with her all flocked out, white as death.

Speaker 41 (01:33:44):
And only just breathing. Then a delivery boy came.

Speaker 44 (01:33:48):
When I left him with her and went to see
she slowly strangled a death, not broken her neck cleanly
and quickly. I haven't forgotten her face from that day
to this.

Speaker 41 (01:34:03):
Who some mother must have been unbalanced, but not to
have thought of the child or the father, what they
would find. How it would affect them.

Speaker 44 (01:34:12):
I was ill feeling in her miss for her to
have thought of all that and still gone and done it.
I still say, poor thing. But there was so much
misery in that family, with them wandering apart from her
like that, you have to feel sorry for her.

Speaker 41 (01:34:30):
The kitten wile miss.

Speaker 44 (01:34:32):
I think the child knew how her mother had done
such a dreadful thing. No one ever rightly gets into
a child's mind. But she loved a kitten, and she
knew her mother was jealous of it. I always believed
Christina felt somehow she owed her mother for what she
had to do. As I said, Christina loved a gitten.

(01:34:53):
So one day she took it down to the pond
and tied a brick round its neck and put.

Speaker 41 (01:34:58):
It very gently into the water. Oh my god, and
she ran away, crying for to die.

Speaker 44 (01:35:05):
She never saw me coming round the end of the wall,
and I didn't care to call out to her, but I.

Speaker 48 (01:35:11):
Just saw it all.

Speaker 41 (01:35:13):
My breath was nearly choking me.

Speaker 44 (01:35:16):
But I went down by that pond on my knees
and stuck my arm in and got myself all over
green slime and mud. But I got the kitten out alive,
Holy famis, How could I give it.

Speaker 41 (01:35:28):
Bet to Christina?

Speaker 8 (01:35:30):
That was fair stuck.

Speaker 41 (01:35:32):
I had something of an idea of what was in
her mind, but couldn't tell was sure.

Speaker 44 (01:35:38):
So I gave it to a friend of mine, a
quiet woman.

Speaker 41 (01:35:41):
Who lives down the other end of the village. She's
a widow too and doesn't talk about much. So the
kitten's alive with my friend, and she never saw it again.
She thought he was dead, that's right.

Speaker 44 (01:35:54):
And that afternoon was her mother's funeral, And it wasn't
long after that that they went away.

Speaker 41 (01:35:59):
They went away, And she's not dead. Christina's not dead.

Speaker 44 (01:36:03):
Oh yes, she's dead, miss, Not that I ever saw
myself again after that. But she died, they told me,
in a plain crash with her father. He thought a
holiday would be a good thing for them both. She
dwindled away after her mother's death, and he thought it
was that.

Speaker 41 (01:36:19):
Well, it could have been.

Speaker 44 (01:36:21):
She used to wait shrieking, But I always thought it
was the kitten that she'd kill with her old two hands,
or thought she had.

Speaker 41 (01:36:31):
Have you ever killed a thing?

Speaker 1 (01:36:33):
Miss?

Speaker 41 (01:36:33):
Once on a farmer?

Speaker 15 (01:36:36):
I know what you mean.

Speaker 44 (01:36:38):
I'd have given it back to her, if only I could,
but how could I? It was a it was some
sort of a sacrifice she was looking for. If she
knew the kitten was all right, what was she going.

Speaker 1 (01:36:51):
To do next?

Speaker 41 (01:36:53):
I don't know, Missus Grosiert, but did you ever think
that she may not know she's dead, that she sees
things as they were? She saw the bed where it
used to be. It's a thought, Missus Crozier, just a thought.

(01:37:19):
Over the next few weeks, I saw Christina often, and
Missus Crozier saw her too. I'm convinced that she wouldn't
talk to me again about it. But the one thing
that badly troubled me was the unpleasant atmosphere at the
end of the house where Christina's mother had killed herself.
Once I had to go into the old stone larder
in broad daylight to get the milk that was put

(01:37:39):
there to cool, and the end of the room nearest
the cupboard seemed to me to pulse to throb, like
a kind of wicked powerhouse. I told Missus Crozier. She
said nothing, but she stopped putting the milk there. Then
there weather nights when I wept. No child should still

(01:38:03):
be lonely after death, it wasn't right. But the worst
pressure of all was the growing feeling that the only
thing I could do to help was to kill the
kitten myself. I had often gone down to see it.
Christina hadn't shrunk from doing it, so why should I.
I watched it one dull, hot afternoon, but I slunk

(01:38:27):
home at last, unable to make up my mind how
to do it. It was as I reached home that
I sent something was dreadfully wrong. Missus Prosier was nowhere
to be found in the garden, and as I came
along the back wall of the house, the throbbing came again.

(01:38:47):
I looked through the tiny window of the larder, and
there on the floor was Missus Rosier. She looked so small,
so helpless. I rushed into the house and opened the
door of the kitchen. As I did, the air brightened
round me till it sparkled, and rims of light formed
around my eyes. As the blood was clamped into the
innermost corner of my head, I sank to the floor

(01:39:09):
I had bursting with the unbearable pressure he had. Inch
by inch, I managed somehow to reach Missus Crozier. I
grasped her arm, and tried to drag her from the room,
but it was his She was made of solid bronze.
I was unable to struggle any longer. Then the pressure

(01:39:31):
suddenly lightened. The outer door swung open, and there, silhouetted
against the shimmering light, it was the child Christina. Don't move.

Speaker 50 (01:39:45):
Oh, oh, there you are, my lovely. It's all right now,
Missus Crozier. I've got the kitten. I've got her.

Speaker 49 (01:39:57):
See what's happening.

Speaker 50 (01:40:01):
You are silly, Missus Crozier, I said, I've got the kitten.

Speaker 41 (01:40:05):
Ton't move, Missus Crozier.

Speaker 44 (01:40:07):
Please came still, Christina, Christina.

Speaker 50 (01:40:11):
Yes, Daddy, come along now, time to go, coming, Daddy coming,
come on.

Speaker 41 (01:40:25):
Next morning we heard from one of the village boys
that Christina's little catted straight across the road had been
run over by a car. It had died at once.

Speaker 13 (01:41:23):
M h m hmmm, h.

Speaker 5 (01:41:28):
M hm h m.

Speaker 1 (01:41:36):
M.

Speaker 53 (01:41:42):
No, No, stay where you are, Do not break the
stillness of this moment, for this is a time of mystery,
a time when imagination is free and moves forward swiftly, silently.

Speaker 24 (01:42:00):
This is.

Speaker 54 (01:42:02):
The haunting out the people in the house.

Speaker 53 (01:43:20):
All houses had their secrets, and the house on East
sixty seventh Street in New York was no exception. Its
rooms had seen the births and deaths of seven generations
of Thatchers, and now they look down with despair upon
the three people living within its walls. Eavans Thatcher, the
third his son, Kendall. Kendall's lovely wife, Margaret, or evil

(01:43:46):
and Hatred, stocked the rooms and took you by the throat.
When you went to the house, it was polite and hidden,
but sinister and presents so strongly that you felt you
could reach child and touch it.

Speaker 16 (01:44:12):
Margaret, come in, my dear. I've been waiting for you.

Speaker 55 (01:44:16):
I didn't know you were home.

Speaker 16 (01:44:19):
Aren't you forgetting something?

Speaker 55 (01:44:21):
My dear, I didn't know you were home.

Speaker 17 (01:44:23):
Father.

Speaker 16 (01:44:24):
That's much better, Margaret. I only ask that you behave
as any daughter should do a father in law.

Speaker 55 (01:44:29):
Where's Kendall?

Speaker 16 (01:44:30):
Father, My dear, Kendall is only my son, but he's
your husband. I'm surprised you should ask me his whereabouts
most wives.

Speaker 55 (01:44:40):
All right, Kendall isn't home. Let's stop acting, my dear child.

Speaker 16 (01:44:44):
I've never acted with you. It is you who pretends
to like me. I take little pains to conceal my
dislike of you.

Speaker 55 (01:44:52):
I hate you more than I believed I could ever
hate another human being. And if it weren't for kend why.

Speaker 16 (01:44:58):
Don't you divorce Kendall? My I'd gladly pay for it.
Kendall isn't the proper husband for you. You should have
married the strong young detective. There was a suitable match
for you. By the way, what was his name, Walters?

Speaker 55 (01:45:13):
Larry Walters? I remember the name perfectly, father, and I
didn't marry him because I was in love with Kendall.

Speaker 16 (01:45:20):
Oh, come now, my dear, we both know the truth.
You could hardly marry a representative of law and order
if you told him the truth about yourself. But after
the night, why I imagine that difficulty should be solved.

Speaker 55 (01:45:33):
Oh, you are completely vile. But there's one thing you've
never understood. A mine like yours can't understand it. I
love Kendall more than I hate you, and I'm not
going to leave him alone with you so that you
can ruin him completely.

Speaker 16 (01:45:48):
Too bad that you can't afford to move out of
my house into an apartment of your own, isn't it.
I'm sure that if Kendall could get a job and
support you. You'd be deliriously happy.

Speaker 55 (01:45:57):
Yes, I would. But you've taken good care to see
that Kendall is too weak to go out in the world,
haven't you.

Speaker 16 (01:46:02):
No, My dear mom, don't you think.

Speaker 55 (01:46:04):
I don't know what you're doing. You've hated Kendall since
the day he was born, and deliberately set out to
ruin him by giving him everything he wanted. You made
Kendle so completely dependent upon you that he's afraid to leave.
You've panted himself that he's fit for nothing.

Speaker 28 (01:46:18):
You're insane.

Speaker 1 (01:46:18):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 55 (01:46:20):
I'm perfectly sane. I'm willing to stay here and fight
you till I've made a man out of Kendle. We
both walk out of this house together with our heads up, and.

Speaker 16 (01:46:29):
I'll see you both dead and rotting.

Speaker 8 (01:46:32):
First.

Speaker 16 (01:46:34):
Oh, good evening, Kendall. Did you take my message to
the club?

Speaker 47 (01:46:38):
Yes, father, mister Ainsley said. There was no reply.

Speaker 55 (01:46:41):
Oh hello, hello, darling. Well, aren't you even going to
kiss me? I haven't seen you since this morning?

Speaker 16 (01:46:49):
You bet? I am nonsense. Kendall stop acting as if
he were a newly wed instead of behaving like a
man who's been married a whole year.

Speaker 55 (01:46:55):
Well, my mother and father were married twenty two years,
and he kissed her every night when he came home.

Speaker 47 (01:47:01):
There you see father kissing your wife.

Speaker 16 (01:47:03):
Kendall, come along upstairs. I want to talk to you,
my dear Margaret. You'd better change. We're dining with some
friends of mine.

Speaker 55 (01:47:10):
But Kendall and I had planned to eat home tonight.

Speaker 16 (01:47:12):
Father, did you I didn't. I don't very well. See
how you can. I left instructions that there was to
be no marketing today and gave the seventh the night off.
Are you coming, Kendall?

Speaker 47 (01:47:22):
I yes, Father, I'll see you later.

Speaker 9 (01:47:26):
Margaret.

Speaker 55 (01:47:27):
I hate you Evan's statue. I hate you. I wish
you were dead.

Speaker 48 (01:47:56):
Hello, Mary?

Speaker 24 (01:47:58):
Is that you?

Speaker 2 (01:47:59):
Margaret?

Speaker 1 (01:48:00):
What is it?

Speaker 55 (01:48:00):
What's the matter, Larry, I've got to see you, folish child.
Oh I must have a wrong number.

Speaker 28 (01:48:06):
No you haven't, Margaret, you're in trouble.

Speaker 1 (01:48:08):
I'll be right over.

Speaker 55 (01:48:09):
No, No you mustn't, you mustn't.

Speaker 17 (01:48:11):
Goodbye.

Speaker 16 (01:48:13):
Well we already Margaret.

Speaker 47 (01:48:16):
You look beautiful in that dress.

Speaker 16 (01:48:18):
I'm afraid that the dress will have to go back.

Speaker 28 (01:48:19):
Kendle.

Speaker 47 (01:48:20):
But father, why you said yourself?

Speaker 16 (01:48:23):
I changed my mind. I will not pay for it.

Speaker 55 (01:48:26):
I don't want you to pay for it. I didn't
ask you to buy it. Oh, Kendle, Kendall, can't you
see what he's doing to us. I don't want him
to pay for anything of mine ever. Kendle, please, please,
let's get out of this house now.

Speaker 16 (01:48:39):
Margaret is hysterical, Kendle. She doesn't know what she's saying.
She's just done something very stupid and childish, for which
I'm afraid I must punish you. Candle.

Speaker 55 (01:48:47):
No, no, I'm not going to stand by and see
this again. You're not going to I'm sorry, father, really,
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:48:53):
I mean it.

Speaker 55 (01:48:53):
I'll never do it again.

Speaker 16 (01:48:54):
Wait for that, my dear. Come here, Kendle.

Speaker 15 (01:48:57):
You can have a.

Speaker 55 (01:48:58):
Telephone taken out. I promise. Please don't hit Kendall.

Speaker 16 (01:49:02):
Please, mister Thatcher. Oh, come in, mister Walters. It was
thoughtful of you to telephone let me know you were coming.

(01:49:22):
It enabled me to open the door myself. I don't
like to let the servants know that I have detectives
calling on me. Oh you don't like detectives, mister Thatcher,
not in my house. As a matter of fact, though
I've been expecting a call from you for a few
days now, ever, since Margaret was so foolish as to
telephone you the other night.

Speaker 56 (01:49:40):
As a matter of fact, mister Thatcher, that's just the
reason for my visit. Margaret didn't sound at all well
to me.

Speaker 16 (01:49:45):
It's very observant of you, mister Walters. Margaret isn't well.
She's a neurotic. That's funny. When I knew her, she
was a perfectly healthy young lady. Perhaps, but now she's
definitely neurotic. Then of course you've put her under the
carav physician. I dislike your attitude very much. Are you
implying that my son and I aren't treating Margaret properly?

(01:50:07):
Because if you are, you can get out now. Actually,
you had no right in this house. I received you
because I wanted to show you that there was no
reason for Margaret's call to you the other night. Now
I should let you see Margaret. You can hear from
her own lips what I've been telling you. Yeah, i'd
like to say, if you'll excuse me, I'll go up
and bring it down myself.

Speaker 1 (01:50:26):
Thanks.

Speaker 16 (01:50:27):
I uh won't offer you a drink, however, the radio
is over there if you wish to turn it on.
It may help you pass the time.

Speaker 28 (01:50:50):
We interrupted this program of dance music to bring you
a special bulletin. Dandy Jim Carrey broke out of the
Death House a little over four hours ago, only two
days before execution. Dandy Jim became the first prisoner ever
to escape from the Dead House. The police have thrown
a drag net all over the country and promise a
speedy arrest. Keep tune to this station for further details.

Speaker 16 (01:51:17):
Here is Margaret. Please tell him how you feel. Hello Margaret,
Hello Larry.

Speaker 55 (01:51:23):
I don't know what was the matter with me. I
was just upset and nervous. That's why I called you, Larry.

Speaker 28 (01:51:31):
Yeah, that's what mister Thatcher told me.

Speaker 16 (01:51:33):
Now look here, Walters. I've stood for a lot from
you because you were a friend of Margaret's. But I'm
telling you I'm not going to stand for any more insinuations.
It won't do either Margaret or can do any good
at all. Remember that, Margaret.

Speaker 56 (01:51:43):
I'm not insinuating anything, mister Thatcher, but I'm not a fool.
I know darn well that Margaret called me for some reason,
and I don't believe aware of what you're saying.

Speaker 16 (01:51:50):
All Right, You've succeeded in making me do something that's
very painful both to me and Margaret.

Speaker 55 (01:51:55):
Please go, Larry, Please, I don't need your help, I
don't want it.

Speaker 16 (01:52:00):
Don't worry Margaret. I promise you that this won't affect
Kendall at all. Now, mister Walters, here are the facts.
Margaret's made a very good marriage. Yeah, I know exactly exactly.
A girl in Margaret's position has no right to expect
to marry my son. You see, mister Waters, My son
was brought up with everything in the world he wanted

(01:52:21):
his for the asking. Margaret, on the other hand, had
a much different life, much different. You mean that she
wasn't spoiled that and other things. If I did spoil Kendall,
mister Walters, it's only natural when a child's mother dies
at the birth of a child, and a man has
to be both father and mother, his son is apt
to be indulged or hated. Have you ever heard of
Dandy Jim Carey, mister Waters. Of course, he's in the

(01:52:45):
death house now awaiting execution. You didn't know that he
was Margaret's brother, did you. Oh? You see what your
insinuations have made me do.

Speaker 1 (01:52:54):
Mister Walters.

Speaker 56 (01:52:54):
Uh huh, I see, but it may interest you to
know that Dandy Jim escaped from the death house four
hours ago.

Speaker 28 (01:53:00):
What thank Heaven, I think that's your phone.

Speaker 55 (01:53:08):
I'll answer it.

Speaker 16 (01:53:09):
I wouldn't dream of it, my dear, I'll go.

Speaker 28 (01:53:16):
Margaret, Margaret, why didn't you tell me? I can see
you're in a jam.

Speaker 15 (01:53:20):
Let me help.

Speaker 55 (01:53:20):
Can't Larry just leave me alone? It's best that way,
believe me.

Speaker 13 (01:53:24):
Hello, Hello, answer there.

Speaker 28 (01:53:28):
But Margaret, I only want to help.

Speaker 16 (01:53:29):
Believe me.

Speaker 1 (01:53:32):
Evidently you're wrong.

Speaker 15 (01:53:32):
Number.

Speaker 16 (01:53:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:53:34):
You seem to have a lot of them around this house.

Speaker 16 (01:53:36):
And now, mister Wallers, I think there's nothing more for
us to say to each other.

Speaker 28 (01:53:39):
So good night.

Speaker 16 (01:53:41):
If you want me, marm you'll know where to reach you.
Good Night, mister Waters, No, my dear, we'll wait for
the telephone to ring again, only this time when mister
Waters isn't here.

Speaker 17 (01:53:57):
You will answer no, No, I won't.

Speaker 16 (01:54:00):
I think you will, won't you, my dear?

Speaker 15 (01:54:04):
I think you will woot.

Speaker 55 (01:54:06):
You, my dear, kindles, I won't kill.

Speaker 16 (01:54:11):
And you won't have you. He never will. All you
have to do is to pick up the telephone and
say what I tell you. Well, you wouldn't want to
disappoint your brother with you. He desperately wants to get

(01:54:32):
in touch with you.

Speaker 53 (01:54:36):
All right, And so the drama that was touching the

(01:55:26):
lives of the people in the house on East sixty
seventh Street came swiftly to its violent conclusion. Evans Thatcher
the third was determined to dominate and rule his son
Kendall at all costs, hating his son from the day
he was born, bringing him up a weakling by pampering him.

(01:55:46):
He resented Kendall's marriage to Margaret Carey, a beautiful and
strong willed girl who is determined to break Evans Thatcher's
hold over his son. Only Margaret had a brother, Dandy
Jim Carey would escape from the death house. It's even
now trying to get in touch with her while she
sits on a bench in Central Park waiting anxiously for Kendall.

Speaker 47 (01:56:14):
Oh, Margaret, I'm sorry, I'm late. I tried to get away,
but father.

Speaker 55 (01:56:18):
I know donning sit down here right next to me
on the bench.

Speaker 54 (01:56:23):
Oh.

Speaker 55 (01:56:23):
The park's beautiful at night, isn't it. Kendall.

Speaker 47 (01:56:28):
I look forward so much to sitting here quietly with you.
It's the only time in the whole day that I'm happy.

Speaker 55 (01:56:36):
Do you think that's right, Kendall Donning?

Speaker 57 (01:56:38):
Huh what do you mean the two people so much
in love and married should live be only happy when
they can sneak away from the house they live in
to sit in the park and hold hands.

Speaker 47 (01:56:50):
Oh Lovegaret, I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 28 (01:56:55):
Good.

Speaker 47 (01:56:55):
Why don't you leave me?

Speaker 8 (01:56:56):
Oh?

Speaker 55 (01:56:56):
Stop saying that, Kendall. Don't you realize that's just.

Speaker 1 (01:56:59):
What your father?

Speaker 47 (01:57:00):
I know, I know, but there is just nothing I
can do about it.

Speaker 9 (01:57:04):
But there is.

Speaker 55 (01:57:06):
You're going to have to make a decision, my darling.
You're going to have to come away with me.

Speaker 47 (01:57:10):
I want to so so much, but I'm scared.

Speaker 28 (01:57:15):
We'll saw Margaret.

Speaker 55 (01:57:16):
We won't. I tell you, we won't.

Speaker 47 (01:57:18):
It's hopeless. Do you think that I could stand watching
you work and support me.

Speaker 55 (01:57:22):
You wouldn't have to. You could go to work.

Speaker 47 (01:57:24):
I want to, But you know what happened when we
tried it once before. Father saw to it that no
one would hire me, and if I did get a job,
he had me fired.

Speaker 55 (01:57:33):
We made a mistake. We'll have to leave New York.

Speaker 47 (01:57:37):
Well we go, What difference does it make?

Speaker 55 (01:57:39):
We'll be together and we'll be happy, but.

Speaker 47 (01:57:42):
You won't have anything. I don't care so much for myself,
but I couldn't stand it for you.

Speaker 55 (01:57:48):
That's not true, Kendall.

Speaker 47 (01:57:50):
Do you mean I'm lying? Do you mean that I
really don't want to go with you?

Speaker 55 (01:57:54):
I mean it. You're afraid to face the facts. You
have no reason to be afraid from me. I wasn't
wealthy before I married you, and I wasn't unhappy I
am now I won't be because I love you very much.
If we go away together, I don't care how little
we have, as long as we're people living together, supporting

(01:58:16):
ourselves and away from your father.

Speaker 47 (01:58:20):
Margaret, I will, we'll go away. We'll never see my
father again.

Speaker 9 (01:58:26):
Kendle, Darling.

Speaker 55 (01:58:30):
When will we go Kendle tomorrow?

Speaker 47 (01:58:33):
No, we will have to make plans.

Speaker 55 (01:58:35):
Why your mind's made up, isn't it?

Speaker 28 (01:58:38):
Of course it is.

Speaker 47 (01:58:38):
But we can't just pack up and go like that?

Speaker 17 (01:58:41):
Why not?

Speaker 47 (01:58:43):
Well, well, there are thing is to do. We have
to find a place to go, get the tickets.

Speaker 55 (01:58:51):
We'll go down to the station and get on a train.
What difference does it make where we go?

Speaker 47 (01:58:54):
But we can't rush?

Speaker 28 (01:58:55):
We maybe?

Speaker 55 (01:58:57):
Oh all right, Candle, I h I have an appointment
now with whom your father and my brother. I don't
suppose you want to.

Speaker 1 (01:59:11):
Come with me?

Speaker 8 (01:59:13):
No, no, no, no, I uh.

Speaker 47 (01:59:16):
I think it's better if I stay out of this.

Speaker 55 (01:59:21):
I guess I have to face it. I think it's
better if I stay out of your life too permanently.

Speaker 16 (01:59:28):
Margaret.

Speaker 55 (01:59:29):
Yes, Kendall, I love you very much, but you'll never
break away from your father. As he told me he's
done too good a job.

Speaker 47 (01:59:38):
Well, you talk as if Father were deliberately.

Speaker 55 (01:59:40):
You don't see it, You'll never see it. Goodbye, candle, Margaret.

Speaker 16 (01:59:46):
Wait wait, come in, Margaret, my dear, it's cozy in here.

Speaker 55 (02:00:03):
Why did you make me tell Jim to meet us here?

Speaker 16 (02:00:06):
It's an ideal place, my dear. Who would ever think
of looking for an escaped murder in the Castle Chess Club?

Speaker 55 (02:00:11):
Are you going to help him get away?

Speaker 16 (02:00:14):
Question is premature, my dear. This reunion between beautiful sister
and doomed brother appeals to my sense of the dramatic.
That is why I brought you to the Castle Club tonight.
I hope you realize the honor I've conferred upon you.
The first woman ever set foot in the Castle chess club.

Speaker 55 (02:00:30):
That was your idea, wasn't it. You're the president of
the club and you made them put that rule into effect.

Speaker 16 (02:00:36):
Why yes, my dear, now that you mentioned it, it
was you. See, I don't believe that a chess club
is any place for a woman.

Speaker 55 (02:00:43):
That isn't the real reason you hate women. You've hated
us all ever since your wife died, and that's why
you hate the sun you think caused her death. Shot, silence,
shouting doesn't change anything. I'm right, that's the explanation for
you and everything you've done.

Speaker 16 (02:01:01):
You're impident and you should pay for it.

Speaker 55 (02:01:03):
I don't care. I'll do anything you want if you'll
only help Jim get away.

Speaker 16 (02:01:09):
Do you realize, Margaret, that you are asking me to
break the law aiding an escaped criminal.

Speaker 55 (02:01:14):
Stop it.

Speaker 17 (02:01:15):
I know all about you.

Speaker 55 (02:01:17):
How do you think I met Kendall? Was through Jim.
Of course, I knew that you were the leader in
all the crooked business that Jim was doing. I beg
him to stop, but he wouldn't.

Speaker 16 (02:01:26):
Thank you for being so frank. I often wondered how
much you knew about me?

Speaker 55 (02:01:30):
And I know that it was your fault Jim killed
mister Merritt.

Speaker 15 (02:01:35):
Hmm.

Speaker 16 (02:01:36):
Rather a bold knock for a man who's hiding. Open
the door. Your brother will be glad to see you.

Speaker 55 (02:01:46):
Kendall.

Speaker 16 (02:01:46):
What do you mean by coming in here?

Speaker 47 (02:01:48):
I thought that you should know that well.

Speaker 16 (02:01:51):
I I followed you. You followed me for what reason?
I specifically told you.

Speaker 47 (02:01:55):
I noticed Larry Waller is following you too, and I
thought I thought maybe there was some trouble.

Speaker 16 (02:02:01):
Well, it was very thoughtful, love you, Kendall, very thoughtful indeed.
But as you see, there's nothing wrong. Margaret and I
were just having a little chat. You can go now,
did you hear me, Kendall, I said you can go.

Speaker 55 (02:02:16):
I heard you, father, Kendall, I want you to stay.

Speaker 16 (02:02:23):
You'll regret this, my dear Margaret, go home, Kendall.

Speaker 55 (02:02:26):
If you won't do as I ask, then I want
Kendall to stay.

Speaker 16 (02:02:30):
I hope you heard what Margaret just said, Kendall. A
deliberate attempt to blackmail your father, and to do is
tell us something I'm lawful?

Speaker 47 (02:02:36):
Well I don't.

Speaker 12 (02:02:37):
I'm not.

Speaker 55 (02:02:37):
It's time you knew the truth, Kendall. We've been married
a whole year and if you're ever going to become
a worthwhile person. Now at the time, Margaret, you can't
stop me. Now I'm going to tell him.

Speaker 16 (02:02:46):
Kendall, you can prepare yourself for some vicious lie.

Speaker 55 (02:02:49):
Kendall, You're going to have to be strong enough to
face the truth. Your father is a blackmailer.

Speaker 47 (02:02:54):
I don't believe it. No, no, Margaret, it's true.

Speaker 55 (02:02:58):
After your mother died when you were born on Evan's statue,
became a bitter, rotten old man. He used his position
and his reputation to find out things about people, and
any blackmail.

Speaker 16 (02:03:09):
Ridiculous, Margaret.

Speaker 47 (02:03:10):
Father didn't need money.

Speaker 55 (02:03:11):
He liked to hurt people, to see them squirm. He
wanted to hurt the world because he'd been hurt.

Speaker 16 (02:03:17):
Kender she hates me so much. He's trying to poison
your mind against me. She hasn't won, night Odor a proof.

Speaker 55 (02:03:22):
You covered your tracks, well, didn't you. You had my
brother Jim do all the dirty work for you. Didn't
you ever, wander, Kendle, what business affairs your father and
Jim could possibly have had together?

Speaker 47 (02:03:32):
Well, it did seem kind of peculiar.

Speaker 16 (02:03:34):
Kendle, go home. Let me handle this. I'll explain everything
to you in the morning. My word about it, but
father will have my word. Go home.

Speaker 28 (02:03:44):
Hello everybody, this is a nice little family gathering.

Speaker 16 (02:03:48):
Jim, say where you are. Jim, stay right where you
are or this gun might go off. Go on, Kendle,
get out.

Speaker 47 (02:03:55):
No, No, I'm staying.

Speaker 34 (02:03:56):
I want to hear all of this.

Speaker 58 (02:03:57):
Yeah, tell your son how you double crossed me with
marriage up? Why have I got to lose? If you
don't kill me, the cops will. Why don't you tell
your son how you made me pack a gun when
I went to Merrits, and how you knew he'd have
one too.

Speaker 47 (02:04:08):
So it's true, Margaret wasn't lying.

Speaker 16 (02:04:12):
You are an evil old man. One more step for me,
you'll be dead.

Speaker 21 (02:04:15):
Jim.

Speaker 55 (02:04:15):
Wait, mister thatcher will help you to get away.

Speaker 28 (02:04:19):
But he could have helped me.

Speaker 18 (02:04:19):
He folded and I kept my mouth shut and court
for him.

Speaker 16 (02:04:22):
Now we'll have the truth. You didn't accuse me because
no one would have believed you. I was too, can't
what's that difference? First, I'm going to kill you, and
then I'm gonna die happy. I'll get out of my way.

Speaker 28 (02:04:33):
Kend stand back, Kendall.

Speaker 16 (02:04:34):
He's not going to hurt me. I'm going to kill him.
I won't be playing for it. He's an escape convict.

Speaker 55 (02:04:38):
I'll tell, I swear, I'll tell. I'll tell the police
just how it happened.

Speaker 16 (02:04:41):
You're not going to be alive to tell anyone anything.

Speaker 28 (02:04:44):
Kindle stand back.

Speaker 47 (02:04:46):
You're not going to shoot father, or you'll have to
shoot me first.

Speaker 15 (02:04:48):
Get out of my way?

Speaker 13 (02:04:49):
Are you crazy?

Speaker 28 (02:04:50):
No?

Speaker 47 (02:04:50):
Father, just seeing you as you really are. I'm growing
up far.

Speaker 1 (02:04:54):
I'm waiting it.

Speaker 16 (02:04:55):
These fools can ruin me. I'm going to say that
Jim killed Margaret. Then we took the gun away for you,
but I had to shoot him in self dependence.

Speaker 28 (02:05:02):
All right, hold it, everybody, right.

Speaker 16 (02:05:05):
Thank Heaven's you come, Walters. You can arrest this convict.

Speaker 56 (02:05:09):
And you, mister thatcher. Now I know why you dislike detectives.
Drop that gun.

Speaker 28 (02:05:14):
Come along, Jim can give me that gun, tancer.

Speaker 48 (02:05:16):
Are you gonna be right up?

Speaker 15 (02:05:18):
Break it up here? Take this.

Speaker 58 (02:05:31):
So that says it's better this way? You are, right, Jim,
I'm okay. I'll be dead a little quicker than your thought. Well,
thanks for getting thatcher for me.

Speaker 28 (02:05:44):
I didn't get him for anybody. He took a shot
at Margaret. Thanks anyway. Now, now Margaret will be all right.

Speaker 55 (02:05:54):
You mean we'll be all right, Jim Kindle and me.

Speaker 47 (02:06:00):
That's that's right, Jim. Don't you worry about Margaret. We'll
be really together now.

Speaker 53 (02:07:41):

reason that makes a man take them out of.

Speaker 1 (02:14:22):
His license his own hands.

Speaker 28 (02:14:23):
Nothing odd about this one, just plain, open and shutcase.
Who wasn't gallup with the name of Claire Waterstone?

as comedy, please, and dropped over.

Speaker 1 (02:14:40):
Dead reading his book. Now, look, buck, don't start getting
any ideas.

Speaker 28 (02:14:46):
This was suicide, plain and simple, waving. All the doors
and windows were locked on the inside. We had to
butt the window in order to get in, and the
only other person in the house was a crippled sister
who couldn't walk two steps if the house was on fire,
come and I see, but wasn't there's any satisfaction to it?
Was one of yours. The first edition of Mystery is

(02:15:08):
My hobby. Now when you tell that Chinese boy to
start serving the food, do.

Speaker 1 (02:15:14):
Have to wait, inspector.

Speaker 28 (02:15:15):
If that girl was reading my book when she died,
I feel duty bound to look into this case.

Yes, I was a spendthree she ran with a past
crowdness to Drake, why I've seen her lose ten thousand
over a gambling table in one night? And if you

of the will allowed me to make a cast settlement
when she was twenty five. I advisor against, of course,
But and she lost it all, Yes she did. She

(02:18:51):

share of the money. Miss Waterstone.

Oh, yes, don able to live very well on the
answer to my investment he seems to take I've I've

Speaker 48 (02:19:04):
To be a burden to anyone.

Speaker 1 (02:19:05):
A very wise move.

Speaker 28 (02:19:06):
I'm sure it didn't consume she was mad at humps
because Susan wouldn't give a half of what she had.

Speaker 60 (02:19:11):
Poor Claire.

Speaker 17 (02:19:13):
I did take care of her, mister Draco.

Speaker 9 (02:19:15):

Speaker 28 (02:24:16):
Now look far and I don't mind going along with the.

Speaker 1 (02:24:20):
Gag, but this time you're going just a little bit
too far. You're done right.

Speaker 28 (02:24:24):
This is nothing but an ordinary police shot, just plain suicide.
That's the way it's marked up on the bookstown of headquarters,
and that's the way it's gonna stay.

Speaker 1 (02:24:32):
You're in for a big surprise.

Speaker 28 (02:24:34):
But it couldn't be anything else. It couldn't be murdered
love be reasonable. They couldn't murder because nobody could walk
into that library, give them a square a glass of
poison milk, and then walk out and leave all the
windows and doors locked on the inside. That's why we're
just had to lock that door. So it hasn't done before.
You've read my books on the case. And besides that,

(02:24:55):
there weren't anybody else's fingerprints on that flat. But cuere
constant effect. You wouldn't expect it, would you. And now
this Susan, just one more little thing and then we'll go,
maybe in peace, of course, mister Drake, what is Susan?

(02:25:18):
It seems to me they've been poking around quite enough.

Speaker 9 (02:25:21):
Sure, mister Drake, nobody, thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:25:23):
I'd like to look at your sister's.

Speaker 48 (02:25:25):

Speaker 49 (02:25:30):
Yeah, if you don't mind, I don't live with you,
of course.

Speaker 28 (02:25:37):
I think this is a.

Speaker 1 (02:25:41):
Yeah and a jaggon glowing. Let's see what are you
looking for?

Speaker 28 (02:25:49):
M Just things that much in here? She wasn't very smpy.
A little bottle up right. Let's look in the closet, Yes,
not much of the wardrobe. Now on you gotta remember
where lost all our money. Probably sold all her first
coats and stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:26:08):
Had a heavy for dressing gowns and robes, pretty nice.
Probably stuff she had left overs from the good old days.
You know. Oh yeahn't here? Oh that that's we might
as well take a look at Susan to him, okay,
anything to get you ally here? So I can he
much the share is the best room there? Well, let's go.

(02:26:33):
Susan has the best room, she said, yes, want to
look in the projet bar. Now you look, But I'm
trying to find some more likely being address the drawer she.

Speaker 28 (02:26:42):
Got twenty flows leaming gowns fortress three first coaching about s.

Speaker 15 (02:26:51):
Shoes.

Speaker 63 (02:26:51):
So I suppose she has all the money, remembers said, second,
sure did.

Speaker 5 (02:26:58):
Here it is here?

Speaker 1 (02:27:00):
What is the heat of the whole crime? It's nothing
about knitting. Yes, that's right, Inspector, what do you suppose
that string is doing? Type of the inn of it is?
That's the way you knit. I don't know. I suppose
she what is it doing? Tide?

Speaker 63 (02:27:14):
There just another fatal mistake our murderer made, Inspector. This
knitting those soles up the whole case. Now I'm able
to tell you who our murderer is and who was murdered.

Speaker 1 (02:27:25):
But we know who was murder committed, Joe Ashide it
was Claire Waterstone. Yeah, sure, our inspector, of course, I'm sure.

Speaker 28 (02:27:33):
I'm miss glad you had to figure it out, mister Drake,
hey bar look Susan water don't. She's wanting you're a mistake, Inspector,
Not Susan, but Claire.

Speaker 15 (02:27:42):
With Susan.

Speaker 1 (02:27:43):
We just left miss Susan waters done with Charlie don.

Speaker 15 (02:27:46):
At the Moore.

Speaker 55 (02:27:48):
I would like to know just how you figured this
all out.

Speaker 28 (02:27:50):
Well, stop me if I'm wrong, because the way I
think it happens, if you lost your money, miss Claire,
you were forced to depend upon your sister Susan for
your very existent in order to get the weekly allowed,
and she gave you You had to wait on her
hands and spirt.

Speaker 1 (02:28:02):
You're right, so far got to be pretty tiring.

Speaker 63 (02:28:04):
After a while, you couldn't see why a crippled girl
who was unable to go anywhere should have all that money,
while you, who were young and healthy, didn't have a dime.
So you decided it would be wonderful to change places
with your sister and have all that money for yourself.

Speaker 5 (02:28:17):
Yeah, but one of them was crippled. Why is Juan?

Speaker 1 (02:28:20):
Why did you get out of a chair?

Speaker 37 (02:28:21):
I will tell you, George.

Speaker 59 (02:28:22):
Mister Dake knows everything.

Speaker 28 (02:28:24):
Oh that's too bad. You don't think I'm gonna let
him tell to you. Yes, indeed, I wouldn't use her, so,
mister Gale, I don't think I will. After all, Claire
is the murderer.

Speaker 1 (02:28:38):
No, George, you are the murderer.

Speaker 63 (02:28:41):
What why This morning, when Susan was in the library,
you brought her a glass of poisoned milk. You've been
careful to hold the glass with a napkin in order
not to leave any fingerprints. Susan drank the milk, at
least part of it, and the poison works immediately. I
got to spend George. You took her out of the
wheelchair and jumped her body in an easy chair and
placed an open book in her lap, of book that
she'd been reading at the time.

Speaker 1 (02:29:01):
That was another mistake.

Speaker 63 (02:29:03):
People who commit suicide never do it while they're reading
bookstoors very clever ones, not a feather door.

Speaker 15 (02:29:09):
This case was very simple.

Speaker 1 (02:29:11):
Then you wheeled out the wheelchair.

Speaker 63 (02:29:12):
And carefully oiled the lock in the library door. You
took this knitting needle in which you had attached this string.
You put the needle through the handle of the key,
stretched the string to the floor and under the door,
so that the end was on the other side the outside.
Then you carefully closed the door, pulled on the string
the needle, turned the key and locked the door, and
then fell to the floor.

Speaker 1 (02:29:34):
With a simple matter to give the string a yank
and pull.

Speaker 63 (02:29:36):
The needle under the door. And you hit it in
miss Claire's dresser drawer. And you had done the supposedly impossible,
locked the.

Speaker 1 (02:29:44):
Door on the inside. Added you again, I didn't have
to guess.

Speaker 63 (02:29:48):
I didn't have a case just like this one. It
was in the books Susan Waterstone was reading, and which,
by the way, you also must have spread about all
except that you then forced Miss Claire to assume it
sister's identity didn't And I hate to do this.

Speaker 1 (02:30:03):
See that you are me infector don't try it.

Speaker 28 (02:30:05):
I'm gonna shoot you first, mister Drake.

Speaker 1 (02:30:06):
And the night.

Speaker 63 (02:30:09):
I got it, Inspector, I felt the wind of that one.
I say, those chairs, my dear, you need them for
your sister's gun.

Speaker 3 (02:30:28):
And now back to Glenn Langon for the conclusion of.

Speaker 28 (02:30:35):
Mystery is my hobby?

Speaker 1 (02:30:44):
Oh, mister inspector, you would luck you maybe so? Hoppingly
the wine.

Speaker 28 (02:30:51):
Key make, but no more tricks, Oh no, no, dinner
ready pretty soon like I'm starving.

Speaker 1 (02:30:59):
Yes, few minutes, good good goodness, you know.

Speaker 28 (02:31:03):
But I can't get over the way that Claire grabbed
that gun. I suppose that she was in with George
Gale all the time, Yes, she was, inspector. However, embezzlement
and murder two different things. Clara wouldn't go for murder. Yeah,
but how about Susan's marty. Claire really thought that it
was suicide, the same as you did. Yep, George sure
had any fools. I don't know how you ever figured

(02:31:26):
out that Claire was in suit.

Speaker 63 (02:31:28):
Oh no, inspect I'm surprised that too. The girl at
the more. Didn't you notice her legs?

Speaker 1 (02:31:32):
Sure she had too, just like Albaiah.

Speaker 63 (02:31:35):
Huh No, not like everybody else, Inspector. Hers were thin,
very thin, not at all the legs of the girl.
We used them to walk on. And then, of course
the clues in the bedrooms were unmistakable. Did you honestly
believe that Susan, being confined to her wheelchair, would use
evening gowns, sports clothes for her coats and fifty pair
of tue well live.

Speaker 1 (02:31:53):
Wow. How did you know that George killed her instead
of Claire?

Speaker 63 (02:31:58):
Well, primarily because of my call to my broker. He
said that George Gale been gambling on the stock exchange
with much more money than he could possibly possess.

Speaker 1 (02:32:07):
Only, Inspector, it was Susan's money instead of players. CRUs
was already got Remember.

Speaker 28 (02:32:12):
You know I saw hard last week, gentlem an inspector,
buttons like speaking, yes, yes, yes, indeed what what?

Speaker 8 (02:32:28):
We'll be right over?

Speaker 2 (02:32:29):
Come on, Inspector, get your hat.

Speaker 28 (02:32:30):
But by dinner's ready, I am a lead later, Inspector,
you eat later.

Speaker 63 (02:32:35):
Right now, we're going to investigate a very mysterious murder.

Speaker 1 (02:32:37):
But bride with me. Eating is a very serious business.

Speaker 5 (02:32:41):
No, Inspector, but with me, mystery is my hobby.

Speaker 19 (02:33:09):
Kremel Hair Tonic and Cremmel Shampoo present The New Adventures
of Sherlock Holmes, starring Nigel Bruce as Dr Watson and
Tom Conway as Sherlock Holmes. Well, once again, it's time
to keep our weekly date with the Dean of.

Speaker 8 (02:33:29):
Storytellers, Dr Watson.

Speaker 16 (02:33:31):
I'm sure he's expecting it.

Speaker 8 (02:33:33):
I am.

Speaker 64 (02:33:33):
Indeed, it's a belle good evening your puncture to the
minutes as usual.

Speaker 19 (02:33:37):
This is one doctor's appointment. I'll never be laid for
a nice you to say, so, drop your usual churm,
settle down.

Speaker 2 (02:33:46):
That's it.

Speaker 19 (02:33:47):
Fire in the grape, the lights turned low, and the
wind howling outside. It's a perfect setting for Sherlock Holmes's adventure.
Which one is it going to be?

Speaker 15 (02:33:55):
Well? Tonight?

Speaker 64 (02:33:56):
I thought i'd tell you a most weird and macab
story concerns were wolves on the wild moors of Scotland
and the strange happenings that took place in McKinnon Castle.

Speaker 19 (02:34:08):
Dear, dear, werewolves and haunted castles. My hair's beginning to
stand on inn already. Please get on with the story.

Speaker 15 (02:34:15):
Doctor can do times to bell, But first.

Speaker 64 (02:34:17):
Haven't you a little business with our listeners business that
also has to.

Speaker 15 (02:34:21):
Do with the hair business.

Speaker 19 (02:34:24):
Oh no, Doctor Watson, this isn't business.

Speaker 16 (02:34:26):
It's the pleasure.

Speaker 19 (02:34:28):
But thanks for the reminders, and I know you men
will thank me again and again for this hot tip.
Try Kremmel hair turning. Just notice how kremmeell makes stubborn hair.

Speaker 28 (02:34:38):
So much easier to comb.

Speaker 19 (02:34:41):
How your hair falls in place just where you want
it and stays that way all day long. Now, be honest, men,
did your hair ever look better?

Speaker 15 (02:34:49):
You see?

Speaker 19 (02:34:50):
Kremmel gives even dull, lifeless looking hair a rich, attractive luster.
It makes hair look so handsome and alive. Yet Kremwell
never glues hair down, It never leaves it looking or
feeling greasy or dirty. Just try Kremmel hair tonic once
and you readily see why it's such a nationwide favorite. Now,

(02:35:10):
Doctor Watson, how about the werewolf?

Speaker 64 (02:35:13):
Oh, mister Bell, the adventure up again innocently enough. On
a slate gray November afternoon in Baker Street, just before
the turn of the century, Holmes and I were seated
comfortable on either side of a crackling fire, when shortly
before tea time, there was a jangle on our doorbell,
and a few minutes later, a young girl, whom missus
Hudson announced as Miss Victor, was standing.

Speaker 15 (02:35:35):
Before us, a young girl dressed in a wedding guard.
She was in a great state of excitement, in fact,
almost Miss.

Speaker 9 (02:35:44):
You must help me.

Speaker 41 (02:35:45):
There's no one else to whom I can turn.

Speaker 55 (02:35:47):
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 15 (02:35:49):
My dear compose yourself if you will.

Speaker 28 (02:35:51):
Just tell us the facts, Miss picture.

Speaker 55 (02:35:53):
Well, at three o'clock this afternoon, I was to have
been married to David McKinnon.

Speaker 28 (02:35:59):
Any relation to the air mckennons, the son and.

Speaker 9 (02:36:01):
Dare to the estate, Mister Holmes.

Speaker 64 (02:36:02):
Really, I think I met one of the family in
a shooting party a few years ago.

Speaker 15 (02:36:05):
I remember to Sting some other time.

Speaker 28 (02:36:06):
Watson.

Speaker 65 (02:36:07):
Please, Miss Victor's problem is immediate. You will say you
where to have been married, Miss Victor? What occurred to
prevent the ceremony?

Speaker 17 (02:36:15):
David just didn't appear.

Speaker 55 (02:36:17):
Oh, it was dreadful, mister Holmes. I waited and waited,
and finally I knew he wasn't coming.

Speaker 28 (02:36:23):
You had no word from him, since no nana.

Speaker 9 (02:36:25):
I went to his hotel as soon as I.

Speaker 13 (02:36:27):
Left the church.

Speaker 28 (02:36:28):
And what did you discover?

Speaker 60 (02:36:30):
That he had received a visit from an elderly Scotsman
this morning and the porter said that immediately afterward they
left together in a cab the same contrastation.

Speaker 64 (02:36:39):
So thankless, and after their destination was scotto.

Speaker 28 (02:36:43):
Quite mister Holmes.

Speaker 55 (02:36:44):
You must find David for me.

Speaker 28 (02:36:45):
I know he's been kidnapped, Miss Victor. A man who
is being kidnapped does not walk out of a hotel
in broad daylight and order a cab.

Speaker 49 (02:36:52):
Something's happened to him.

Speaker 55 (02:36:53):
He wouldn't do a thing like this of his own village.

Speaker 64 (02:36:55):
You got shot, You didn't have some lover's quarrel, something
to differ in the last few days, and Mike have
made your fiance change his mind.

Speaker 9 (02:37:02):
Of course, I'm sure, doctor Watson, We've never had any misunderstanding.

Speaker 55 (02:37:06):
Only something dreadful could have made him leave.

Speaker 28 (02:37:08):
I shall do everything in my power to find out
what it was, Miss Victor. Oh, Watson, get me the
railway guy.

Speaker 15 (02:37:14):
It's on the table.

Speaker 8 (02:37:15):
Besides, I knew you'd help me.

Speaker 28 (02:37:18):
I only hope he'll be successful.

Speaker 65 (02:37:22):
Now, Watson, if you'll pack a couple of bags and
meet me at the station at nine fifteen, in time
for the Scottish Express, I have a few simple inquiries
to make.

Speaker 28 (02:37:43):
What what kept you so long home?

Speaker 15 (02:37:46):
We almost missed the train.

Speaker 28 (02:37:47):
You are shockingly out of condition, Watson. A little sprint
like that shouldn't leave you so windows.

Speaker 2 (02:37:52):
We'll never mind about my condition where have you been
for the last.

Speaker 28 (02:37:55):
For us delving into the back issue files at the
times very instructive.

Speaker 8 (02:38:00):
You should try it.

Speaker 2 (02:38:00):
Something rubbish, there's nothing duller and yet it is new.

Speaker 65 (02:38:03):
I doubt it. You'll call the legend of the McKinnon
family dull Watson on the contrary.

Speaker 15 (02:38:08):
So that's what you've been looking up.

Speaker 28 (02:38:10):
Yes, it's a.

Speaker 65 (02:38:11):
History that goes back several hundred years of brawling and bloodshed.
The founder of the clan was a fourteenth century Scottish
warrior by the name of Wolfhound McKinnon.

Speaker 28 (02:38:20):
His reputed to have.

Speaker 65 (02:38:20):
Been so incredibly vicious in battle that his enemies accused
him of.

Speaker 28 (02:38:23):
Being a werewolf, a vampire. Oh, come now home, merely
repeating a five hundred year old legend. The point is
that the present head of the clan.

Speaker 65 (02:38:32):
The father of the disappearing fiancee, today, is known as
Black Angus. He's a dominant, curoughly hated man whose local
reputation is as frightening in our day and age as
his predecessors was five centuries.

Speaker 64 (02:38:44):
A very interesting homes But I don't see why she
gets so excited over a five hundred year old legend.

Speaker 65 (02:38:50):
Well, you see Watson. I found another rather curious fact
in the papers.

Speaker 2 (02:38:54):
Oh what was that?

Speaker 65 (02:38:55):
Several times during the last few months sheep dogs have
been found dead in the vicinity of Canon Castle with
their throats torn out. Good heavens, Tamis, you've lived in

(02:39:24):
this village a good many years. I expect all my life, sir,
and this inn was my favors before me.

Speaker 15 (02:39:29):
We're interested in.

Speaker 64 (02:39:30):
Some of the local beauty spots, particularly McKinnon Castle.

Speaker 28 (02:39:34):
Cannon Castle is no beauty spots.

Speaker 8 (02:39:37):
O Devil's Castle we call it.

Speaker 66 (02:39:39):
There isn't one of us in the village that wouldn't
have been glad to see the ground open up and
swallow the place, I and every McKinnon who lives there.

Speaker 28 (02:39:49):
Why are the mckinnons so hated, Tamis, There.

Speaker 8 (02:39:51):
Are no men, they're monsters.

Speaker 66 (02:39:54):
McKinnon thinks that because he owns the land, he owns
the air moon breathes too. And Black Angus is the biggest,
blackest devil of them all.

Speaker 15 (02:40:04):
Black Angus you mean the present laird, aye.

Speaker 67 (02:40:07):
And if he keeps up with his devil's work, he'll
be the deadly before long.

Speaker 28 (02:40:14):
What's been going on themys?

Speaker 66 (02:40:15):
It's the sheep dog, sir, hereabout some man's sheep dog
is his living and yet six more have been killed
in the past two weeks, and all of the poor
weet beast is lying there.

Speaker 28 (02:40:27):
On the moors with the throat's tone.

Speaker 15 (02:40:30):
How can you blame mc kinnon for that? Sure is
some animal, eye.

Speaker 66 (02:40:34):
Sir, aye, an animal that stands on two feet?

Speaker 28 (02:40:39):
What are you suggesting, tamas and suggesting nothing, sir?

Speaker 66 (02:40:43):
Except those dead dogs all had human teeth marks on
the throats.

Speaker 15 (02:40:50):
You insinuating black angus is vampa?

Speaker 24 (02:40:54):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (02:40:55):
Now now now, really, my dear.

Speaker 66 (02:40:57):
Hollow, we've seen him at night when the moon was high,
galloping across the moors on his big black horse, and
the next morning there's always been a dead sheep dog.

Speaker 28 (02:41:09):
You've seen him yourself? Well, well, no, sir, but there
are those that have.

Speaker 66 (02:41:15):
There's no mistaking him with his big coat flapping and
his hat pulled.

Speaker 8 (02:41:20):
Down over his eyes.

Speaker 15 (02:41:21):
Wasn't it to ord nobusiness?

Speaker 28 (02:41:23):
Interesting? Very interesting? Do you see that gentleman that just
came in sitting by himself.

Speaker 8 (02:41:29):
In the corner of yourself?

Speaker 28 (02:41:30):
The man in the gray over coat.

Speaker 66 (02:41:31):
Hye, his name's Humphreys. He can tell you more about
the mckinnons than I can. He's a cousin of the family,
and even though he's related and lives at the castle,
he's as nice a gentleman as you meet up with.

Speaker 65 (02:41:45):
Thank you for the information, Tamas. I think perhaps we'll
go and have a chat with him. Come on, Watson, Oh,
thank you.

Speaker 28 (02:41:51):
I'm glad to be of service, gentleman.

Speaker 65 (02:41:53):
Excuse me, mister Humphrishi, may we take the liberty of
introducing ourselves.

Speaker 28 (02:41:59):
I'm Sherlock Home and this is my friend, doctor Watson.
How do you know you own't you?

Speaker 15 (02:42:04):
Sid?

Speaker 28 (02:42:04):
Thank you? Thomas tells me you are a cousin of
the McKinnon family.

Speaker 1 (02:42:09):
I am. Do you know them?

Speaker 28 (02:42:11):
We're particularly interested in one of them, mister Humphrey, Yes,
in David McKinnon.

Speaker 68 (02:42:17):
David's a vera fine boy.

Speaker 28 (02:42:19):
You knew he wants to have been married in London yesterday.

Speaker 1 (02:42:21):
Hey, I knew that.

Speaker 64 (02:42:22):
Did you also know that just for his wedding he
suddenly disappeared?

Speaker 8 (02:42:28):
Gentlemen?

Speaker 68 (02:42:29):
May I ask the reason for your interesting young David.

Speaker 28 (02:42:33):
That's a very fair question, sir.

Speaker 65 (02:42:35):
I have been asked by Miss Victor David's fiance to
try and find the young man Oh, I see, it's
a very unfortunate business, mister Humphreys. Shortly before the wedding yesterday,
David McKinnon had a visitor in his hotel. They left together,
presumably to catch the express for Scotland.

Speaker 64 (02:42:55):
Poor mus Victor was left strandard of the church.

Speaker 8 (02:42:57):
The little thing was heart broken, she would be mister Holmes.

Speaker 28 (02:43:02):
I wish I could help you in some way, but
you can, mister Humphrey, how by telling us what message
you delivered to David at his hotel yesterday, that I'll
come now, mister Humphreys.

Speaker 65 (02:43:14):
The man seemed to be leaving the hotel with David
was wearing a gray raglan coat such as you are wearing.

Speaker 28 (02:43:19):
In addition, I observed as we.

Speaker 65 (02:43:21):
Sat down that you're reading yesterday's edition of the London Times.
Even if you subscribed to it, it couldn't have reached
you here in Scotland through the post. This speed an
amazing home elementary, isn't it, mister Humphreys.

Speaker 68 (02:43:32):
Well, I don't know about that, but your deduction is correct. Yes,
mister Holmes, I did a return with David from London yesterday.

Speaker 28 (02:43:41):
What was the message you was sent to get him?

Speaker 1 (02:43:43):
There?

Speaker 28 (02:43:43):
Asked the message that decided him not to go through
with his marriage.

Speaker 68 (02:43:46):
I'm afraid I can't answer that question, mister Holmes, though
I may tell you it's a family secret of the
gravest importance.

Speaker 1 (02:43:56):
Hmm.

Speaker 28 (02:43:57):
Well, in that case, our only recourse is to go
to McKinnon Castle and pursue your inquiries there.

Speaker 68 (02:44:02):
I imagine that would be best, gentlemen, But frankly, I
doubt if you'll gain admittance. Angus is a wilful man
with a terrible temperance when he knows you want to
see David. We'll handle terrible men before, haven't.

Speaker 28 (02:44:17):
We, Watson.

Speaker 64 (02:44:18):
Indeed, I remember that afternoon Vegas statement Doctor Grimsby Wort.

Speaker 65 (02:44:22):
Picked up the poker with Yes, Watson, you can reveal
mister Humphreys with that some other time. But now I
think we'd be starting for the castle.

Speaker 68 (02:44:30):
Mister Holmes, if by any chance you do see as
I must ask you not to mention that you have
talked to me if he finds out there might be trouble.

Speaker 28 (02:44:40):
All right, mister Humphries, come on, Watson, hy I wish

(02:45:00):
he'd put.

Speaker 2 (02:45:00):
Some springs in this vehicle.

Speaker 15 (02:45:02):
It's worse than an Irish donding car.

Speaker 28 (02:45:05):
If Cams's directions are to be believed, we should see
the castle when we get to the crest of this hill.

Speaker 64 (02:45:10):
This black anger seems to be quite a lovable character.

Speaker 15 (02:45:13):
Even Humphreys is his cousin, seems to be terrified of him.
Man was positively shaking.

Speaker 28 (02:45:19):
Yes, I noticed that. Ah, that must be the castle.

Speaker 15 (02:45:22):
Now I just forbidding looking place, isn't it?

Speaker 13 (02:45:27):
Is?

Speaker 28 (02:45:28):
Watson waining your horse?

Speaker 8 (02:45:32):
What is it?

Speaker 13 (02:45:32):
Homes?

Speaker 28 (02:45:32):
Look lying by the side of the road. Just a
dead dog, Yes, a dead sheep dog.

Speaker 15 (02:45:37):
Come on, The dog's throat has been torn out.

Speaker 28 (02:45:45):
Is look here, Watson? Look at these marks on the throat.

Speaker 15 (02:45:48):
Good Heaven's homes. They look like they are the marks
of human teeth.

Speaker 28 (02:46:10):
Hi, gentlemen, is the lad at home?

Speaker 34 (02:46:12):
I'm sorry, sir, but the Laird will see people who
are to.

Speaker 28 (02:46:15):
An appointment, and then will you please give him a message?

Speaker 65 (02:46:17):
But the two will tell him that mister Sherlock Holmes
and doctor Watson have come here from London to see.

Speaker 64 (02:46:22):
Yes, my good man, and I'm tell him it's on
a very important and confidential business.

Speaker 34 (02:46:28):
If you'll wait here in the hole, I'll give him
the message. Gentlemen, but you'll know, see, you'll know.

Speaker 8 (02:46:37):
See stupid all.

Speaker 15 (02:46:39):
That anyone think he owned the castle?

Speaker 28 (02:46:41):
Watson? Haven't look at these two portraits.

Speaker 15 (02:46:44):
A couple of grim looking characters give you the creeps.

Speaker 65 (02:46:47):
I think we may reasonably assume them Akin and ancestors do.
Notice something odd about them?

Speaker 15 (02:46:51):
Who the men are smiling? You call that smiling? Looks
more like learing to me.

Speaker 28 (02:46:56):
Whatever it is, it shows their teeth. Notice their normal.

Speaker 15 (02:47:00):
Length of the It an't your years. The teeth marks
on the dead sheep dog White.

Speaker 23 (02:47:09):
Jesus, I won't.

Speaker 28 (02:47:12):
Black Anger seems to be living up to his name.

Speaker 34 (02:47:14):
I'm sorry, gentlemen, but the lead will miss see you.

Speaker 64 (02:47:17):
Yeah, say you please leave at oncetatement.

Speaker 65 (02:47:21):
You may tell him we're not leaving here until we've
seen mister David McKinnon.

Speaker 28 (02:47:24):
I'm sorry, I'm David McKinnon.

Speaker 15 (02:47:27):
You are splendid. We've come here on behalf of.

Speaker 28 (02:47:29):
I know way yet here, gentlemen, I must start that
to leave it once. But miss Victor, you'll hear say,
after all, you know you heard.

Speaker 3 (02:47:35):
My father's message.

Speaker 28 (02:47:36):
Please go. As for Miss Victor, I have no interest
in hearing anything concerning her.

Speaker 1 (02:47:41):
Good day.

Speaker 28 (02:47:42):
Come Watson, I think perhaps I'll visit was ill timed.

Speaker 34 (02:47:46):
Be way, Please, gentlemen, let's get away from here.

Speaker 15 (02:47:56):
I'm principal. You don't care that David. I'd like to
give him a good thrashing.

Speaker 65 (02:48:00):
It might be interesting to talk to David McKinnon when
he's away from the influence of black angers.

Speaker 64 (02:48:05):
You're wasting your time. Homes, A man's a boundery. Besides,
they'll never let us in the house again.

Speaker 28 (02:48:09):
By the front door. True, however, can still try the bags.

Speaker 65 (02:48:14):
Leave your hat and coat in the bushes here, old
chap rumple up your hair, dirty your face, and adopt
that delightful Scottish dialect of yours.

Speaker 28 (02:48:20):
For the moment, we will be plumbers.

Speaker 15 (02:48:22):
Plumbers? How do we know they need plumbers?

Speaker 65 (02:48:24):
In an old castle like this, you can always be
sure of one fact. Something must inevitably be wrong with
the drains. They always need plumbered homes.

Speaker 15 (02:48:31):
You think it's safe. I mean, if black Angus discovers us,
he may be dangerous.

Speaker 28 (02:48:36):
I'm afraid that's the chance we'll have to take.

Speaker 65 (02:48:38):
Come along, Watson, and try to look as much like
a plumber as possible.

Speaker 19 (02:48:54):
In just a moment, Doctor Watson will continue the story
of Black Angus, but first, here's something which should certainly
interest you men about Kremmel hair tonic. Kremmel is one
of the greatest improvements ever made in the history of
hair tonic. It's been especially developed to keep dry, unruly
hair in perfect order all day long, always looking its

(02:49:15):
best with a nice, rich luster. Yet Kremmel never gives
hair that objectionable, greasy, patent leather look.

Speaker 8 (02:49:23):
That kind of hair went.

Speaker 19 (02:49:24):
Out of style with handlebar mustaches. No, Kremmel goes in
for modern, handsome hair grooming, and it does lots more
than just keep hair looking handsome. Kremmel removes dandru flakes.
It also promptly relieves itching of dry scalp and leaves
the scalp feeling so clean and alive. May I suggest
that tomorrow, when you're out for your Sunday walk or drive,

(02:49:47):
you stop and buy a bottle of Kremmel at any
drug counter. It's spelled k R E M L Kremmel
hair Tonic. And now, doctor Watson, did you and Sherlock
Holmes manage to get into McKinnon Castle disguised as plumbing?

Speaker 15 (02:50:06):
We did, mister Bell Holmes was right about the drains.

Speaker 64 (02:50:08):
We were welcomed at the service entrance with open arms.
Figures that are speaking, of course, we were shown down
to the basement and left to our own devices.

Speaker 15 (02:50:17):
As soon as the coast was cleared.

Speaker 64 (02:50:19):
I found myself following Sherlock Holmes as he stealthily mounted
in an old stone stairway.

Speaker 15 (02:50:26):
I must confess that my heart was in my mouth.

Speaker 65 (02:50:32):
The stairways should lead us up to the east wing,
I'd say. And by the way, Watson, you make the
most convincing Plumber.

Speaker 17 (02:50:39):
Was not wrong.

Speaker 15 (02:50:39):
Garage.

Speaker 66 (02:50:43):
It's a light on the left door, slightly Ajar, come here,
Watson wouldn't see through the crack.

Speaker 15 (02:50:49):
The man seated in front of the dressing table, staring
into the mirror.

Speaker 28 (02:50:54):
Candle lights flickering. But I'll give you answer. That's black angles.

Speaker 15 (02:50:57):
Like this Homes. I don't like it. He met homes.
He's got a revolver. He's raising it.

Speaker 28 (02:51:03):
Angus McKinnon. Put down that revolver.

Speaker 8 (02:51:04):
Who the devil of you?

Speaker 28 (02:51:06):
My name is Sherlock Holmes.

Speaker 18 (02:51:07):
I have told bro stuff throw you out this time
I'll do it past ten yea crying mister.

Speaker 28 (02:51:12):
McKinnon, I know what you were thinking when you raised
that revolver at your temple. Just now, and believe me,
you're wrong.

Speaker 18 (02:51:17):
You can't possibly know, I think I do.

Speaker 65 (02:51:20):
You are convinced that you have been killing these sheep dogs.
You have been so preoccupied with the legends of your
great ancestor Wolf found McKinnon that you think that your
brain has snapped and that you've turned into a vampire.

Speaker 69 (02:51:31):
You're right, mister Holmes, but how you've found out is
beyond me. You know about the dogs, the sheep dogs
with their throats torn.

Speaker 64 (02:51:39):
Out, Yes, we know about them that we found on
as we are driving out about a mile from here.

Speaker 69 (02:51:43):
I know they brought me than you is not more
than two hours ago. It won't happen again.

Speaker 28 (02:51:49):
You're convinced that you are responsible for these killings.

Speaker 18 (02:51:51):
What health can I think? All the evidence the bloodstains
on mccloak, and I know those stains are not caused.

Speaker 15 (02:51:58):
By human blood.

Speaker 65 (02:51:59):
You remember nothing, nothing, But when I think of a
heritage at the McKinnon's, how can I doubt? Then that's
the reason your son was recalled from London yesterday, as
you suddenly had proof of what you thought to be
your own morbid tendencies, and so you sent a message
to your only son, warning him that he must not
allow the woman he loved to marry into a family

(02:52:19):
stained with madness. Holmes, you seem to understand my problem,
but I will not discuss it with you.

Speaker 24 (02:52:27):
Go away, both of you.

Speaker 18 (02:52:30):
A McKinnon canna go to his maker before strangers.

Speaker 65 (02:52:33):
Mister McKinnon, give me your help in a few hours grace,
and I am convinced I can prove.

Speaker 28 (02:52:37):
To you that you're the victim of a devilish.

Speaker 18 (02:52:39):
Plot, A plot I don't understand me.

Speaker 64 (02:52:43):
Come now, mister mckinnan, in this year of grace, it's
a little hard to believe in vampires.

Speaker 18 (02:52:47):
But how can you disprove the evidence I've seen with
my own eyes?

Speaker 28 (02:52:50):
The human teeth?

Speaker 65 (02:52:51):
Might wouldn't be hard to conceive of an instrument that
could simulate those marks, mister McKinnon.

Speaker 18 (02:52:56):
But who could think of such a fiendish plan? But
what would be the woman?

Speaker 28 (02:53:00):
I have a suspicion.

Speaker 65 (02:53:01):
But what's more important that the immediate moment is to
find the evidence. An instrument such as I've suggested would
be damning proof. Therefore, it would be hidden in the
most obscure hiding place in the castle.

Speaker 28 (02:53:11):
Now, what would be the most secret place?

Speaker 18 (02:53:13):
The sellers IY, we have extensive cellars.

Speaker 28 (02:53:16):
We'll search them. But another possibility occurs to me.

Speaker 65 (02:53:19):
In castles as old as this, there's often a secret room, or,
as they were sometimes called, a priest's hole.

Speaker 18 (02:53:25):
You are quite right, mister Holmes. We have Sir died
in place here, though I haven't been in it for years.
Another stairway leads down between the walls from an entrance
behind that big cabinet splendid.

Speaker 28 (02:53:36):
Mister McKinnon, you have a lantern there.

Speaker 8 (02:53:37):
I'm that dressing table.

Speaker 28 (02:53:38):
I'll like it, Thank you, Watson.

Speaker 65 (02:53:41):
I have a strong suspicion that the solution of the
postponed wedding ceremony, as well as that of the mangled dogs,
lies at the foot of that secret stairway.

Speaker 15 (02:54:03):
Stuffy little place, the stool will come.

Speaker 64 (02:54:06):
Weebs so killed she walked into another one. Nobody's been
down here recently, homes I'd swear to that.

Speaker 28 (02:54:13):
Give me the lantern, Watson, William A awful thanks.

Speaker 16 (02:54:17):
Uh huh.

Speaker 28 (02:54:18):
Look here in the dust on the floor.

Speaker 64 (02:54:20):
Footprints footprints leading to that old chest in the corner.

Speaker 65 (02:54:23):
Over the guess doesn't seem to be locked. Look, mister McKinnon,
see this devil's instrument.

Speaker 18 (02:54:32):
What is it that looks like a metal trap.

Speaker 28 (02:54:34):
It is with jaws of steel and a powerful.

Speaker 65 (02:54:37):
String of good heavens, and you can see the recent
bloodstains on it. This fiendish instrument gives us the answer
to those poor dead dogs. You mean that this was
used to tear off their throat?

Speaker 28 (02:54:48):
Undoubtedly, And look more devil's work.

Speaker 64 (02:54:50):
Wait, it's got a human jaw bone with the teeth intact.

Speaker 65 (02:54:54):
This must have been used to leave the prince of
human teeth after the animals were dead.

Speaker 18 (02:54:57):
I have to try and make me think that I
was madded.

Speaker 28 (02:55:02):
Somebody. Somebody shot the lantern out of my hand.

Speaker 68 (02:55:05):
Learn too, inquisitive, Sherlock Holmes. Yes, and your cousin Ma Humphreys,
we fund out. I know what you and your med
friends have found out. Angus, thoughtful of you to put
yourself in my power. A priest dungeon will make a
perfect cucking for the three of you.

Speaker 28 (02:55:21):
I'm going to lock on bolt this door at the.

Speaker 34 (02:55:24):
Head of the stairs. It's your own escape.

Speaker 68 (02:55:26):
I'm afraid death, I suffocation and.

Speaker 31 (02:55:29):
Starvation will be very pleasant.

Speaker 18 (02:55:31):
My friend, I'm praised. I'm coming back up those stairs.
I'm gonna get my hands on your horse, Stephanus, and
I fire your devil alone.

Speaker 28 (02:55:40):
And your shop Watson? Where are you?

Speaker 5 (02:55:44):
How is he?

Speaker 18 (02:55:45):
I'm all right, homes Just please.

Speaker 64 (02:55:49):
Sac a match, yes, just a flesh wound, as far
as I can say.

Speaker 28 (02:55:55):
Good, McKinnon's be another exit from the room.

Speaker 69 (02:55:58):
There is, mister Holmes into that chest. The stone slides out, gracious.
Maybe Humphreys phrase knows.

Speaker 18 (02:56:04):
Nothing about it.

Speaker 69 (02:56:05):
Some secrets of the McKinnon family are only interested to
those bear in the family name.

Speaker 28 (02:56:09):
Thank Heaven for that.

Speaker 65 (02:56:10):
And now I suggest we get out of here as
soon as possible. The airing here is getting stale already.

(02:56:36):
Leonon me, mister McKinnon.

Speaker 28 (02:56:38):
That's it.

Speaker 18 (02:56:39):
How are you feeling a little shaky? But I'm all right,
mister Howe.

Speaker 15 (02:56:42):
And places are we? We've been finding this little passage
up and down, round and round.

Speaker 69 (02:56:47):
Right now we're behind the wall of the library. The
entrance is ahead of us, concealed by a tapestry.

Speaker 28 (02:56:54):
There's a faint crack of light.

Speaker 2 (02:56:56):
We're behind the tapestry.

Speaker 15 (02:56:57):
Someone's in the library.

Speaker 1 (02:56:58):
Boy, I don't know how to say this.

Speaker 28 (02:57:01):
It's Humphreys and my son, David.

Speaker 2 (02:57:03):
I was worried about those men from London. Shelock Holmes
should learn.

Speaker 31 (02:57:07):
The shame of the babies.

Speaker 9 (02:57:08):
I'm afraid I've got shocking news for you.

Speaker 68 (02:57:11):
Your father has confessed that he has been killing the
sheep or he knows that he's mad.

Speaker 31 (02:57:16):
He left the castle just now with a pistol.

Speaker 48 (02:57:19):
He plans to.

Speaker 8 (02:57:20):
Kill himself, kill himself.

Speaker 31 (02:57:22):
We must starting.

Speaker 28 (02:57:22):
No, no, my boy, let him go.

Speaker 2 (02:57:24):
It's the best way, poor father.

Speaker 1 (02:57:27):
What can I do?

Speaker 68 (02:57:28):
There's only one honorable solution, David. Your branch of the
family is corrupt, decayed. If your father dies and you disappear,
the estate reverts.

Speaker 18 (02:57:37):
To me and we can save the mckinner name with
fresh black. But uncle, you can go to the colonies
and start life over with a new name.

Speaker 28 (02:57:44):
It's the only way. We've heard enough.

Speaker 18 (02:57:47):
Come on, compress shall lions double?

Speaker 5 (02:57:50):
Father?

Speaker 28 (02:57:51):
He said, we overheard your conversation, mister Humphreys, most enlightening,
and we've.

Speaker 18 (02:57:57):
Found this where you're headed up. Help a human job. Bone,
You're not the dogs with it. I'm trying to make
me think that I've done at the sun.

Speaker 3 (02:58:06):
Then what he told me in London was nothing but
a pack of life.

Speaker 28 (02:58:09):
Of course, mister McKinnon, I suggest you send for the police.

Speaker 8 (02:58:12):
The police, what crying?

Speaker 68 (02:58:13):
Can they hold me for a few sheep dogs killed
and they can't prove I us responsible.

Speaker 64 (02:58:20):
There's a there's a mother of people outside the window.

Speaker 23 (02:58:24):
Is the mckinncial excuse?

Speaker 24 (02:58:26):
What is the proof?

Speaker 34 (02:58:27):
It's a crowd of the villagers there in an ugly mood.
They say you're responsible for the sheep dogs being killed
on the moors.

Speaker 2 (02:58:33):
They're threatening to burn the castle.

Speaker 34 (02:58:35):
I'm a feared they're getting you to hand.

Speaker 28 (02:58:37):
Go back and tell them that.

Speaker 18 (02:58:38):
In a few minutes, I'll come out and explain to
kill him nice air.

Speaker 2 (02:58:41):
Right, but in a way to I'll go and talk
to them.

Speaker 1 (02:58:45):
Father.

Speaker 28 (02:58:45):
They know me, mister Humphreys possible as in law can
do little to them, but the violence of mob rule
may prove strikingly effective.

Speaker 18 (02:58:52):
I'll take this blacked Humphreys out there.

Speaker 31 (02:58:56):
They'll know what they know.

Speaker 9 (02:58:57):
You can't do that.

Speaker 8 (02:58:58):
You've got to keep me away from that.

Speaker 28 (02:59:00):
Tell me to pieces sign a written confession, mister Humphers,
and we will protect you.

Speaker 21 (02:59:03):
I'll sign anything.

Speaker 23 (02:59:04):
Just keep me awake from that.

Speaker 18 (02:59:05):
Move your suggested that my boys should go to the
colonists put it in writing that you will. Don't just
just up give me a pin.

Speaker 24 (02:59:12):
Here you are.

Speaker 65 (02:59:14):
And now, Watson, I think we still have time to
catch the Night Express for London. I hope we'll have
no difficulty in obtaining three tickets on.

Speaker 28 (02:59:20):
Such short notice. Three tickets, of course, I'm certain young
David McKinnon will be accompanying us. I fancy we may
be attending a wedding within a very few days.

Speaker 16 (02:59:42):
And did you, doctor Watson?

Speaker 28 (02:59:44):
Did I did I want attend the wedding?

Speaker 15 (02:59:47):
Indeed we did, mister Bell. The matter of fact, Holmes
acted as best man. It was a very charming affair.

Speaker 16 (02:59:55):
I'm sure it was.

Speaker 19 (02:59:57):
And now, doctor Watson, what about next week?

Speaker 15 (03:00:00):
Let me see what'll I calve up next week?

Speaker 64 (03:00:04):
I I'll tell you a story called the Adventure of
the Hungry Cat, in which yourlock Holmes saves an innocent
man from the gallows and brings to justice a particularly
vicious and cold blooded murderer.

Speaker 19 (03:00:29):
Now here's something which should interest you, ladies. My wife
has beautiful natural highlights in her hair, and girls, i'll
let you in on the secret of how she does it.

Speaker 9 (03:00:38):
I always wash my hair with Crammel shampoo.

Speaker 43 (03:00:42):
It leaves my hair with a natural glossy luster that
lasts for days and days.

Speaker 19 (03:00:46):
Kremmel shampoo actually brings out all the natural glossy highlights
that lie concealed in the hair. In addition, it has
a beneficial oil base that helps keep hair from becoming
dry or brittle. This famous hard water shampoo works like
magic in every type of.

Speaker 43 (03:01:02):
War and girls, you love the way its rich, luxurious
phone penetrates right to the scalp and removes all loose
dandra flakes as well as the dirt.

Speaker 19 (03:01:11):
Don't forget Kremel shampoo is the same beautifying shampoo which
those famous million dollar powers models use. So why not
glamor bathe your hair with beautifying Cremel shampoo. Tonight's new

(03:02:45):
otherwise known as the Mystery Man, welcoming you to another
storytelling session. Here at the House where the night of Halloween,

(03:03:12):
when ghosts and goblins scream, and why beware the night
of Halloween when the witches fine. Yes, yes, next Wednesday,
October thirty first is Halloween. But here at the House

(03:03:33):
of Mystery, we're celebrating Halloween today. Now, for the benefit
of our radio listeners, I think I should describe how
our meeting room is decorated. Ruth and Marilyn and a
few of the other girls spent all morning fixing it
up for our Halloween party. There are black witches on
broomsticks riding across the ceiling, the skeletons dancing along the walls,

(03:03:56):
a great, big spooky owl perched on top of my bookcase,
and a tremendous jack O lantern hanging from the light
picture in the center of the room. Yes, yes, it
looks like we're going to have quite a party. Oh
what incidentally, rude? What's that big bowl of water on
the table?

Speaker 49 (03:04:12):
Well, we're going to bog for apples.

Speaker 24 (03:04:15):
You know.

Speaker 70 (03:04:15):
You put some apples in the water, and then you
seek your face in the bowl and try to pick
up an apple with your teeth.

Speaker 5 (03:04:20):
And the one who picks up an apple gets it.

Speaker 24 (03:04:22):
Is that it?

Speaker 49 (03:04:23):
Yes, But then most of the time while you get
is the websafe?

Speaker 5 (03:04:26):
Well, at least Johnny, you'll get his face washed painlessly.
Did your mother take that wonderful Halloween cake on the table?

Speaker 1 (03:04:35):
Root?

Speaker 49 (03:04:36):
Yes, and it has fortunes dinner fortune.

Speaker 70 (03:04:38):
Yes, it's a key and the ring and a penny,
a button, a symbol and a lot of other things
they tried into the cake. And when we cut it
later and we give everybody if peace tell it and
whatever they get in there.

Speaker 49 (03:04:50):
If he tells their what happens If I get the ring,
we get married?

Speaker 8 (03:04:56):
Well?

Speaker 49 (03:04:57):
What's a penny means?

Speaker 28 (03:04:59):
Means you?

Speaker 24 (03:05:00):
It po.

Speaker 49 (03:05:04):
A mist of all a part.

Speaker 70 (03:05:06):
D I Halloween books.

Speaker 5 (03:05:08):
Oh, we should have a lot of fun with that cake. Hey,
what's in that box on the table?

Speaker 9 (03:05:14):
Oh?

Speaker 49 (03:05:15):
I forgot, there's some toast rooms to my mother made.

Speaker 5 (03:05:20):
What Johnny, you got a memory about as long as
I please, whisper.

Speaker 15 (03:05:25):
Don't you remember?

Speaker 5 (03:05:26):
Last Saturday Ruth was telling us about some wonderful cookies
her mother makes out of post toasting.

Speaker 49 (03:05:31):
Oh yeah, the recipes on the side of the post box.

Speaker 5 (03:05:35):
That's right, They're called toast roons. We have a wonderful roof.

Speaker 49 (03:05:41):
There are three different times, mister nt some with lemon
flavor and some with dape and the sun with not.

Speaker 48 (03:05:49):
May I have one?

Speaker 5 (03:05:52):
Shall you had better? Johnny's tongue will drop right out
of his mom very taste, as wonderful as they love.

Speaker 13 (03:06:08):
I'm sorry we can't.

Speaker 5 (03:06:09):
Pass ruth toaster runs to everyone who's listening in because
they are really delicious.

Speaker 1 (03:06:14):
I'll about it, Johnny. Are they very hard to make?

Speaker 9 (03:06:19):
Ruth?

Speaker 49 (03:06:20):
They're very easy. You just file the recipe on the
side panel.

Speaker 70 (03:06:25):
Anyone can make them.

Speaker 15 (03:06:26):
Did you hear that?

Speaker 5 (03:06:27):
All you House of Mystery radio listeners, Ruth says, the
toaster runs are easy to make. All you do is
all of the simple recipe on the side panel of
the post toasty box. And they really are delicious, crisp
and crunchy and toasty brown, just like post toasted themselves
and Johnny hit the nail on their head. They're really

(03:06:48):
better than candy. I'm sure mother would be glad to
make you a batch of toaster runs, especially since they
don't take any sugar at all. Or maybe you can
even make them yourself, if it's that easy.

Speaker 49 (03:07:00):
He left doors.

Speaker 5 (03:07:00):
You know what I mean, says you're the ones with
Dayton Well writing, any of the girls send you toast
the ruins? Johnny, you refuse to send that girl in
Massachusetts your picture?

Speaker 49 (03:07:10):
Well, he tells me to run.

Speaker 70 (03:07:13):
Maybe that you play.

Speaker 5 (03:07:16):
I don't make any bargains. If you want to toast
the ruins, you asked your mother to make them for it?

Speaker 49 (03:07:20):
Would you like another one?

Speaker 5 (03:07:22):
I certainly would thank you.

Speaker 49 (03:07:25):
Well, how about you yank like as well as man?

Speaker 4 (03:07:31):
Yes, Richard, I was thinking that since you was sort
of celebrating Halloween.

Speaker 49 (03:07:35):
Here at the house in the sty to day, you.

Speaker 4 (03:07:37):
Might be able to tell us how Halloween started. I
tried to look it up on the encyclopedia last night.
I couldn't find very much about it. It just said
that Halloween was originally called All Souls Day, that's.

Speaker 5 (03:07:49):
Right, and then it became All Saints Day and finally,
all Hallow's Day a hello, you see, is a saint.
The word Halloween was originally hallow, even, meaning the eve
or night of all hallows days.

Speaker 49 (03:08:04):
Why allposed to come?

Speaker 5 (03:08:07):
Well, that goes a long way back, Johnny, when people
worshiped the sun because it gave heat and light and
made things grow out of the ground. But then along
about the middle of October each year, the sun lost
some of its heat, and the living things in the
ground began to wither and die. And the superstitious people
of the day believed that ghosts and goblins and witches

(03:08:30):
were making this happen, and so they locked themselves in
their houses until these supposedly lost souls. The ghosts and
goblins withered the grass and the leaves, and then returned
to the shades of darkness for another year. They didn't
know much about the changes of seasons, and they blamed
the evil spirits for bringing winter. In fact, that's one

(03:08:51):
of the reasons we celebrate Mayday on the first of
May every year. It's the day when the good spirits
supposedly come out and start things growing again. But of
course we know that it's the heat of the sun
that rarely starts things growing, but centuries ago they didn't,
and so now all over the world all Hallow's Day
and Halloween are celebrated in pretty much the same way. Yeah,

(03:09:13):
I see why.

Speaker 4 (03:09:14):
Well do you know why everyone cuts faces and pumpkins
and puts candles in them?

Speaker 17 (03:09:18):
Does that mean?

Speaker 48 (03:09:19):
And it's something?

Speaker 5 (03:09:20):
Well, Richard, There are a number of explanations as to
how the use of Jack o' landin started. The Irish
version is that a very stingy man named Jack was
barred from heaven because of his stinginess, and because he
played tricks on the devil, he was barred from hell too,
and so he found himself a lost soul. On Halloween. Well,

(03:09:41):
one night he went into a field, hollowed out a pumpkin,
cut some holes in it, and put a candle inside.
And from then on he wandered the earth, carrying his
lantern to light the way, and he came to be
known as Jack of the Lantern or Jack o Landers.
I believe that the custom of having huge on fires
on Halloween began in Scotland. The fires were supposed to

(03:10:04):
burn the witches evil spirit.

Speaker 49 (03:10:06):
Some of the kids have a fire on our block
every Halloween, but then the fire engines come for a lot.

Speaker 5 (03:10:12):
Halloween. Fires are dangerous things, especially in the city. You
really don't need a fire to celebrate Halloween. There are
so many other things.

Speaker 49 (03:10:20):
You can do, as some of the boys being doorbells
and Mike.

Speaker 5 (03:10:23):
Everyone up with Josh. Well that's pretty harmless fun, but
fires can sometimes be serious. I think the best way
to celebrate Halloween is with a party, like we're having
play games and have good things to eat, and maybe
even tell a ghost story.

Speaker 49 (03:10:38):
Are you going to tell us a ghost strife?

Speaker 71 (03:10:40):
For?

Speaker 23 (03:10:40):
Really?

Speaker 5 (03:10:41):
What's a real ghost story?

Speaker 8 (03:10:43):
Johnny?

Speaker 5 (03:10:43):
By ghost?

Speaker 9 (03:10:45):
Oh?

Speaker 49 (03:10:46):
I know that a ghosts, but yet call we just
kind of make believe on a kind of Halloween.

Speaker 5 (03:10:51):
Sure, we can make him believe is sometimes a lot
of fun. Now, let's see a real ghost story.

Speaker 48 (03:10:58):
Sounds spooky?

Speaker 5 (03:11:00):
Well, I know one, it's not really spooky, or maybe
it is. It's called the ghost who Forgot Halloween?

Speaker 1 (03:11:11):
Do you like to hear it?

Speaker 12 (03:11:13):
All?

Speaker 8 (03:11:13):
Right?

Speaker 37 (03:11:14):
Now?

Speaker 5 (03:11:14):
Johnny, you pulled down the shade, and Richard you like
the candle and the jack O lantern so we can
have the right ghostly atmosphere. He's a match, Richard, be careful,
that's fine. Now for the story of the ghost who

(03:11:36):
forgot Halloween. Wilbur Kennesaw Smith was a ghost. He was

(03:11:58):
named Wilbur after his great grandfather, a very famous old
ghost who unfortunately was floating through the darkness one night
when he got his sheet caught in a windmill, and
that was the ender. He was named Kennesaw after his uncle,
who said to say, died of ghostly pneumonia while haunting

(03:12:18):
an explorer at the North Pole. And he was named
Smith because that was his father's name. Now, wilburh for
the most part, was a happy, easygoing little ghost. His
father and mother loved him dearly and were certain he'd
grow up to be a very successful acquisition. But Wilbur
had won dad calf. He was always falling asleep. Yes,

(03:13:08):
Wilbur was always tired. He was tired at school and
he was tired at play, and it worried his father
and mother very much. Mother Ghosts thought it was because
he was a growing i mean ghost, and that as
he grew older he wouldn't be tired anymore. But Wilbur
seemed to grow more tired every day. Now, Wilbur went

(03:13:28):
to school just like all boys and girls do, except
the being of ghost. He went to school of Night,
and instead of learning reading and writing, he learned moaning
and groaning. And instead of addition and subtraction, he learned
appearing and disappearing. There are lots of other things too,

(03:13:53):
sheet clapping and chain rattling, and plain and fancy haunting
and floating on air and everything a ghost too, to
be a really good ghost. But Wilbur's trouble was that
he didn't pay attention in school. And the reason he
didn't pay attention was that he was always sleeping. His
teacher's name was miss Spook, and sometimes she became very

(03:14:16):
angry with it one night in the classroom.

Speaker 72 (03:14:21):
And now, class, I'm going to test you in moaning
and groaning. Wilburtkennistar Smith's Wilburg Cannistar Smith, Wilber.

Speaker 17 (03:14:34):
Don't you hear me?

Speaker 49 (03:14:35):
Uh oh, yes, this is your final test in moaning
and groaning. Wilbur.

Speaker 9 (03:14:45):
Go ahead, moan for me.

Speaker 49 (03:14:53):
That Wilbur is a yawn, not a moan.

Speaker 21 (03:14:57):
Now moans, and.

Speaker 49 (03:15:03):
Good heaven. Is that what you call a mode?

Speaker 72 (03:15:06):
Why wouldn't even fighting a caterpillar, let alone a human being.
Now listen to me, this is a mode well, you see,
are you trying, Wilburt, I said, you try it, Wilbur.

Speaker 48 (03:15:28):
You're smart, You're a.

Speaker 21 (03:15:29):
Fast at me.

Speaker 5 (03:15:37):
Yes, Wilbur was fast asleep, floating over his fas well.
Miss Spool didn't know what to do with She spoke
to the principal of the school, mister Rattlebones, and he
called wilburin for a little talk.

Speaker 40 (03:15:52):
What she wished to be in the trouble Wilberg, Oh, trouble.
Don't you get enough sleep in the daytime? Is that
why you can't stay a wicked night like.

Speaker 1 (03:16:06):
Every other goes?

Speaker 5 (03:16:08):
I sleep day?

Speaker 73 (03:16:11):
But yeah, well, Miss Book tells me she can't possibly
promote you unless you.

Speaker 5 (03:16:17):
Do better than class, and here it is only two
nights before Halloween promotion night.

Speaker 1 (03:16:24):
You don't want to be.

Speaker 2 (03:16:25):
Left back, do you.

Speaker 1 (03:16:27):
No, mister.

Speaker 15 (03:16:31):
You want to go out into.

Speaker 73 (03:16:33):
The world and hard people, don't you. Yes, you certainly
don't seem to be trying very hard. You know, well,
I was your father's teach you when he went to
the school. Really use a wonderful pupil. I remember when

(03:16:54):
he took his final.

Speaker 74 (03:16:55):
Test in appearing and disappearing. I remember that very well.
Your father Wilver.

Speaker 48 (03:17:04):
Disappeared and he didn't come back for tools.

Speaker 5 (03:17:12):
That shopping when he's tired.

Speaker 1 (03:17:18):
No, not at all.

Speaker 5 (03:17:19):
Why when he was young he could move.

Speaker 48 (03:17:26):
For days without stopping.

Speaker 1 (03:17:29):
I wish I will write my.

Speaker 5 (03:17:35):
No reason why you can be?

Speaker 48 (03:17:38):
I'm going to have a talk with your teacher, Miss Spook, and.

Speaker 74 (03:17:42):
Maybe I can get her to agree the deep you
pash your haunting test and been cheered for both cheers.

Speaker 48 (03:17:51):
Oh thank you, Lester Adam about remember.

Speaker 5 (03:18:00):
Must cash the haunting test. No pupil in this school
can be promoted unless you can horn. Because if the
ghost carry hard.

Speaker 1 (03:18:12):
I guess as will it be a human being.

Speaker 5 (03:18:23):
Wilbur was all excited when he got home from school
that night. He told his mother and father about the
haunting test on Halloween and how has he passed? He promoted.
They were so happy and so proud. Wilbur's father promised
to let him use his oldest, rustiest set of chains clank,
and Wilbur's mother said she'd make him a brand new

(03:18:44):
sheet out of ghostly white material. And Wilbur's old uncle Henry,
who'd given up haunted because the night there was said
for his rumassistants, offered to lend Wilburt two of his
died up.

Speaker 24 (03:18:56):
Homes that you never knew nothing less decays, I live
in daylight, Whilbert the reverend dry.

Speaker 5 (03:19:10):
And so Wilburgh was all equipped to pass his Halloween
haunting test with high honors. An old rusty chain and
plank horror, a brand new sheet back to the wind,
and bones so dry they made you shiver when they wrapped.
What more could any ghosts past? Wilbur was actually quoating

(03:19:32):
on air now he couldn't help and be promotion. Following
night at Ghosts School, Miss Spook gave the class I
know instruction.

Speaker 49 (03:19:46):
Tomorrow, as you undoultedly know, is all.

Speaker 72 (03:19:49):
Hallows Day, and tomorrow night is Halloween, the one night
in the year when ghosts and governin are permitted to
rome the earth as.

Speaker 49 (03:19:59):
His own proper.

Speaker 72 (03:20:01):
We are holding our final examinations tomorrow night, the night
of Halloween. You will find your assignments posted on the
bulletin board.

Speaker 49 (03:20:10):
Please note them carefully as you float out at the clock.
Now we will have some practice in moaning and growing, Wilbur,
are you paying attention?

Speaker 9 (03:20:22):
Yes?

Speaker 49 (03:20:24):
All right, said all together now moans, groans.

Speaker 9 (03:20:38):
Moans, row.

Speaker 5 (03:20:46):
It was almost dne when Wilbur floated home from the
last night at school before the final examination, he went
to there immediately like a laugh, and the wolf bright.
And late that same day, just as dark was creeping
over the Guntry's line, he remembered, and he pulled his
brand juice sheet over his head that his assignment was

(03:21:08):
to hold a little graveyard down by the railroad tracks
and at the witching hour of midnight, frighten any human
beings who happened to command. He washed his face with
evening mists, brushed his teeth with ectoplasm ate, a big,
huge bowl of ghost toasters with invisible milk, and was

(03:21:29):
ready to leave. By that time it was quite dark,
a perfect night or haunting. Wilbur's mother and father floated
down as far as the hollow with him, then they disappeared.
Wilbur was left all alone. He drifted through the valley
until it came to the tiny graveyard he was supposed

(03:21:49):
to haunt. There, he scurried around among the gravestones and markers,
groaning and moaning, and clanking his chains and flapping his
sheet and rattling his old uncle Henry's bones. Why haunting
wasn't hard at all, it was nothing to it. In fact,
it was great fun. Wilbert floated over the graveyard, wheeling

(03:22:12):
and dipping, making believe he's as it goes to the airplanes.
Suddenly he stopped short in mid air. Two huge green
eyes were staring at him out of the darkness. The
next moment he heard a sound that said shivers up
his spines. Again he heard the strange, frightening sound. Wilbert

(03:22:41):
turned pale as a human, and he would have floated
out of that grave yard as fast as he could
hit his father's rusty old chain, having suddenly caught an
a headstone. And it was lucky for Wilbill that he did.
For the next moment, the huge green eyes blinked and
the weird voice came out of the darkness.

Speaker 75 (03:23:00):
Oh, I've got the all on Halloween seed for sooo.

Speaker 5 (03:23:16):
And laughing deep down in his feathers. The old hoot
towel flew off the limb of the tree on which
he'd been sitting and vanished. Poor Wilbert crimbeding like a leaf, loosened,
the rusty old chain, picked up his uncle Henry's bones.
He dropped in his flight, and with a deep sigh

(03:23:38):
settled himself on top of a large, flat graystone and
draped his sheet around. He'd suddenly become very tired. He
looked up at the sky. Now the stars were winking
and blinking, and there was a quarter moon that looked
like a silver water lemon riding all's quiet peaceful, so

(03:24:00):
quiet and peaceful impact that Wilbur completely forgot it was
Halloween that he was supposed to be taking his final examination.
Oh why is that?

Speaker 28 (03:24:11):
Will be?

Speaker 5 (03:24:16):
Is Wilke And he's fallen asleep, fast asleep, almost two
hours before midnight, with most of his haunting left undone.

Speaker 28 (03:24:30):
What will happen now?

Speaker 5 (03:24:44):
Well, in a little while, the old houtowl returned to
his perch on the limb of the tree. He looked
about for Wilbur and discovered him asleep on the gravestone.
Now he was a wise old owl, as owls usually are,
and he knew that the last thing a ghost should
do his fall asleep on Halloween. So he hooted and
hooted until he was almost blue in the beach. But

(03:25:07):
Wilbur didn't wake up. In fact, Wilbur didn't wake up
for a long time, not until a rooster on the
nearby farm started to crow. Then he sat up with
a jerk. He blinked three times. It was five o'clock
in the morning, and dawn was beginning to light the

(03:25:27):
sky in the east. And there, seated on the iron
picket fence surrounding the tiny graveyard were his mother, his father,
all the other ghosts and goblins, and worst of all,
Miss Spook, his teacher. Wilbur tried hard to hold back

(03:25:54):
his tears. He hadn't meant to get Halloween. He hadn't
meant to fall asleep. I'm teacher, got off the picket fence.

Speaker 49 (03:26:07):
Well, wiver, What have you to say for yourself?

Speaker 9 (03:26:13):
I'm sired?

Speaker 1 (03:26:15):
Is that all I am? But all.

Speaker 49 (03:26:26):
That seems to be your trouble. Brother, You are always
so child. We've got to teach you elected.

Speaker 72 (03:26:35):
Any ghost to forget Halloween and fall asleep in the
middle of parting must be taught elected.

Speaker 49 (03:26:43):
Let me have your sheep, mar my sheep, Yes, your sheep.
Thank you fahm. I'm called as in my goal too.

Speaker 72 (03:26:59):
B You will just have to get used to it.
From now on, You're not going to be allowed to
wear a sheep. You will have to walk around in
your bones until you prove to me that you have
learned how to haunt without calling asleep. And until that
time you will not be promoted.

Speaker 5 (03:27:33):
And so boys and girls and grown ups too, this
coming Halloween, if you should happen to see a sleepy
little girls walking around in his bare bones, remember that
it's Wilbur Wilburg, Kennis or Smith. He's looking for someone
to haunt so that he can be promoted and get
his sheep back. So if you do meet Wilburt, be

(03:27:54):
kind to women. Let him haunt you, won't you? And
in case he should yawn right in the middle of
the harming, kickle him in the ribs to keep him awake,
so that this Halloween Wilbur can be promoted.

Speaker 49 (03:28:08):
Please let's be hunt you.

Speaker 5 (03:28:24):
And that's the story of the ghost forgot Halloween.

Speaker 49 (03:28:30):
That's not the kind of a ghost story on that.

Speaker 5 (03:28:33):
Didn't you like it? Johnny?

Speaker 1 (03:28:34):
Oh?

Speaker 49 (03:28:35):
Yeah, it was all right?

Speaker 70 (03:28:37):
But yeah, oh I think it was wonderful Johnny, to
come with you? Is you always want creepy things? How
long do you remember Wilbury from now on? And if
I need him, I will any harm.

Speaker 5 (03:28:48):
I'm sorry if I disappointed it, Johnny, Oh.

Speaker 72 (03:28:51):
No, it was all right.

Speaker 49 (03:28:53):
One part maybe left.

Speaker 72 (03:28:54):
What was that the part where you said that Wilburn
had a great big ball of ghosts with invisible milk.

Speaker 5 (03:29:03):
You wouldn't like that, would you, Johnny?

Speaker 72 (03:29:05):
No, sir, eat Wilburt and Harry ghost saucy. I'll take
realized you're goodness post tossy, whether kind of elk.

Speaker 49 (03:29:11):
You can see?

Speaker 5 (03:29:13):
I can't say that I blame you, Johnny. As a
matter of fact, like Wilbur post toasties are so bubbly,
like they almost.

Speaker 49 (03:29:20):
Do float you ever try get post sealtiness business man.

Speaker 5 (03:29:25):
No, I haven't have been good, wonderful.

Speaker 49 (03:29:29):
I am with venaiirs lots of time.

Speaker 4 (03:29:31):
Yes, Richard, my friend's brother says of hot cereals are
better for you than cold cereals in the wintertime.

Speaker 20 (03:29:38):
Is that true?

Speaker 5 (03:29:38):
Not as tall. It isn't the external heat of the
food that comets. It's the amount of heat the food
produces once it gets inside your body. For instance, a
glass of cold milk produces much more body heat or
food energy than a cup of boiling hot water. Hump
around the North Pole. The estimals, they've all went along

(03:29:59):
on cold blubber and seal fat because it produces a
great deal of body heat.

Speaker 49 (03:30:05):
Carbohydrates produce buddy heat, don't they.

Speaker 5 (03:30:07):
That's right, Richard. Certain elements in food are called carbohydrates,
heat and energy producing elements. Sugar is one of them,
and starch is another, all of which you get in
post toasty. So you tell your friend's mother that we'll
match post toasties up against any other breakfast cereal, hot, cold,
and lukewarm for energy and for goodness, winter, summer, spring,

(03:30:29):
a fall, and with all that post toasty taste so
good always Chris, always toasty, brown, always bubbly, light, never
soggy or mushy or lumbers. Right, Johnny, you guess what.

Speaker 49 (03:30:46):
Tucky they're cos Now, how about it duck for apple.

Speaker 5 (03:30:50):
I'm afraid we're not going to have time for that
while we're still on the air, because I want to
tell you something about next week's mystery.

Speaker 49 (03:30:57):
Store tell even cut the helloween taken.

Speaker 5 (03:31:01):
Yet if you want the fortune of the cake, Johnny confess, Well, Hi, c.

Speaker 1 (03:31:08):
All right, Ruth.

Speaker 5 (03:31:09):
Suppose you cut Johnny's peace so we can have his
fortune call and incidentally wrap himself around some cake. Well,
I tell you about next week's story. It was on
the stage of a supposedly haunted theater, that the ghost
of a great hamlet was supposed to walk hand in
hand with death. The solution of the mystery escaped me

(03:31:33):
until I, well until I realized that the only possible
answer was the most obvious one of all. Next week,
I'd like to see if you can guess, as I
had to, the natural explanation of the seemingly supernatural phenomenon
in the story I call Death Takes the Stage. Well, Johnny,

(03:31:55):
do you find your fortune yet?

Speaker 49 (03:31:56):
I had no fortune? Oh wham, yeah, here he is.

Speaker 24 (03:32:02):
What is it.

Speaker 49 (03:32:04):
Gonna get married?

Speaker 8 (03:32:07):
Who?

Speaker 1 (03:32:07):
Boy?

Speaker 49 (03:32:08):
Is a fortune?

Speaker 5 (03:32:10):
Well, I'm sure someday you'll get married, Johnny.

Speaker 75 (03:32:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:32:14):
Well, we won't worry about it now. I see our
times up. Anyways, we meet again next week, of course,
at the same time, and for our radio listeners the
same station.

Speaker 49 (03:32:23):
And don't forget my wife gotty toast rooms.

Speaker 5 (03:32:25):
They want to get rid of me, Johnny. How can
you ask for toastal rooms with a mouthful of cake?
I give up. Remember to be with us next Saturday
to hear Death Takes the State. I'll be waiting for
you at the house of mister This is Ron Elliott,

(03:33:01):
your mystery man, saying goodbye until next Saturday at this
same time, and reminding you that post postage is a
good bride too. This is the mutual broadcasting system.

Speaker 71 (03:33:33):
Death under mysterious circumstances is not unusual, but the case
of Jay Temple Thurston differs somewhat from the regular pattern.
Although years have elapsed since the night of his passing,
no one yet knows.

Speaker 1 (03:33:44):
How or why he died.

Speaker 76 (03:33:50):
It is presumed that the Thurston's quarreled in the winter
of that year in nineteen nineteen, and decided to go
their separate ways, or by April the family had scattered,
the servant had been dismissed, and the house stood empty,
and so had an alert neighbor not noticed the flicker
of flame behind one of the second story windows. Holly
Manor probably would have burned to the ground, but the

(03:34:10):
alarm was promptly turned in and within a very short
time fire engines were ruffling the early morning come of the.

Speaker 5 (03:34:16):
Highly respected of the urban streets.

Speaker 76 (03:34:23):
The flames had made but little headway, and before another
quarter of an hour had passed they were extinguished, But
in the water soaked and acrid smelling room upstairs where
the fire had occurred. Two members of the company would
remained behind to investigate the causes of the fire. Were
looking at each other with considerable perplexity.

Speaker 51 (03:34:41):
It's a curl when or right hinded, cap'n. Nobody in
the house, No dirty raggs across wires or nothing like that,
No fireplace, no smell of pair of fine seems like
it must have flared up right here in the middle
of the room. It was head and forward that door there,
but it never got that far when a where the
door LAIDs bedroom?

Speaker 15 (03:34:59):
Moore, suppose let's take a look.

Speaker 76 (03:35:01):
It was a bedroom, and the two firemen standing on
the threshold surveying it, saw that it had not been
touched by the fire. Even the smell of smoke was
scarcely perceptible. Everything ship shape.

Speaker 8 (03:35:13):
Here, cap'n.

Speaker 51 (03:35:14):
You wouldn't even know that the go primy, cap'n. Look,
isn't that chair there' at the top of a man's?

Speaker 24 (03:35:21):
HEAD.

Speaker 8 (03:35:21):
O the chair was facing the. Windows it's back to the.
Door It's jake Temple, thurston.

Speaker 5 (03:35:27):
Cap'n i've seen him.

Speaker 28 (03:35:28):
Often you mean it Was jake Temple, THURSTON i he, said.

Speaker 16 (03:35:32):
Dead one all, right, Captain what was he doing sitting
here fully dressed at three o'clock in the.

Speaker 61 (03:35:38):
Morning he wasn't, drinking he wasn't writing a.

Speaker 15 (03:35:41):
Book he was just.

Speaker 5 (03:35:42):
Sitting and why did he go on sitting after the?

Speaker 28 (03:35:45):
Fire thoughted must have been dead, Already but what did
he die?

Speaker 5 (03:35:49):
Off are trouble.

Speaker 31 (03:35:50):
Preps he didn't.

Speaker 28 (03:35:51):
Burn, it as we know that his clothes ain't even scorch.

Speaker 9 (03:35:54):
Hi but.

Speaker 76 (03:35:56):
Cap'n look his anchor the captains. Down he saw the
flash Of thurston's ankle showing from beneath the bottom of his,
trousers and then both men began ripping the clothes from
a lifeless. Body in another, moment the figure in the
chair was, nude and the firemen were staring at, it
their eyes opened wide in amazement and disbelief brought.

Speaker 51 (03:36:15):
Me not a mark on his head or his, clothes
but his body has burnt.

Speaker 8 (03:36:20):
To a crisp.

Speaker 15 (03:36:22):
Jade.

Speaker 8 (03:36:23):
Temple thurston had died of heart.

Speaker 76 (03:36:25):
Failure the coroner's jury ascertained that that his death preseated
the fire seemed, probable since he apparently had made no
effort to summon help or to extinguish. It but how
a dead man's body sitting in a room where the
flames did not, enter garbed in clothes that were completely,
unscorched could be burned to a. Crisp is a mystery

(03:36:49):
that remains, UNSOLVED a mystery incredible but, true.
