When the attendant collapsed alone.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yes, only the attendant and I were in there When
he told her the floor.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I thought he was dead and ran out to call
an ambulance. One of these other women must have called
the police.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Yes, I called the police. What did you do? Miss
Wesley removed the body?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It wasn't anybody in sector Paraday. When I got in there,
we found out that if the man was alive, and
when the ambulance got here, it took.

Him to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh, I see.
Speaker 6 (02:57):

Speaker 6 (03:31):
Come on, Roylands. There's nothing wrong here. A guy fainting,
the call of police, an ambulance, and Miss Wesley here
calls Boston Blackie. It's a good case for you to
work on, Blankie. There's no crime, no suspects, no angles,
no mystery, and you get just the kind of a mind.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
How awful?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Well do you mean?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
How awful?
Speaker 8 (03:48):

most valuable.

Books in the vault is mity what how do you know?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Good paper? The checker here just gave it to me
bad race. Now he's looking. It's the only copy of
its kind, is worth thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's been done.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Tell me was it here before the attendant had his attack?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yes? It, But there's no crime on Paraday, not much.
You're right, this is just the case for me, Frank.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
You stand out of this? Do you hear me? Stand
out of this?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
USh is the public library? Remember, yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:21):
And uh, people are reading books?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Well that's nothing. But apparently people are stealing books too.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Hey you over there?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Is this the road to Johntown?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, just driving street about a full mile.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Hey, they could slid shop back there, or you've just
shot somebody bought on you.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I wouldn't be surprised, thank you. Oh darn, I'm trying
for a floor.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
World.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
M Well, look who's here? Helo?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Miss Peterson? Were you going somewhere?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I was, Miss Wesley. And if you are don't let
me stop you. I knew you were following me.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Of course did you. You should be glad I was when
I'll give you a lift back to the city. You
can't very well ride back on that flat tie or
I wasn't going back to the city. Well maybe you weren't,
but you are now.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I thought it was your boyfriend Boston Blackie, who was
the tough member of your team.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Ms.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Wesley, I don't know why you followed me, and I
don't care.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You will look Miss Tudison in second Fara. They told
me that Angus, the library attendant was said knockout, droop.
You were the only one in that library vault when
he keeled over. Now I think there's a connection, especially
since you suddenly decided to leave town.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Better mind your own business. Mist Better get in that
car of yours and keep going.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Nope, unless you meant that that would be better for you.
I'll tell you something else. I found out that you
were the Harold Benson, the rare book dealer. One about it,
worked for a rare book dealer, very rare book missing
from a library and you were in the library at
the time. Doesn't that strike you as being peculiar.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Miss Wesley. I don't think you realized I was searched
before I left the library after the book was reported missing.
By the way, were you no, Mary Wesley, friend of
the notorious Boston Blackie, just happens to be in a
library where a very valuable book is suddenly fond missing,
isn't searched.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
When she leaves?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Doesn't that strike you?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
As Petuna, Get in this car, Miss Peterson, get in
here before I aught knock me out the way you
do the library at ten. We'll no, But that isn't
such a bad idea. Maybe I will at that, And
again maybe you won't see what I mean? Oh pretty
is Pearl handled it quite effective? I imagine this done
very well. At least it proves that I was right.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Miss Peterson.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
You don't dare shoot me. And when I tell the
police what I know, what is it?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Miss Western? I know the whole story.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
If you worked for Harold Benson, that he paid you,
he had hold of that copy of Radway's Spouse, that
you took care of the library attendant was knock out dropped,
that you got the book out somehow, and that you
delivered it to Harold Benson. So you think I was
trying to get out of tall because Benson paid me
to feel that book. Of course I do. Well, it's right,
it has to be, does it? Well, Miss Wesley, for
(07:27):
your information, I just left police headquarters.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
They told me Harold Benson was murdered in his store
an hour ago.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Oh sure, I'm just about of late Mary. Look for
the small but it's got more good hiding places.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I know, Blacky, you've been looking for hours. Why don't
you give up?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Why?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Because we searched the late mister Benson's store, we searched
Benson's home. You couldn't find that book. That means only
one thing.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, the book must still be here in the book,
and that's way Peterson Gill took it. I'm blassie. I
still think that Vivian Peterson is juilty.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
I think not Mary.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
She just got scared when Benson was killed and tried
to get out of time. Well, this loose board in
the wall, Yeah, this is.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
A worse hope.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Hey, hey, you pulled that board all the way off.
You know what what's behind it?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
The end of our last hope, Mary, A blank wall,
and that's what we're up against. Two a blank wall.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
That book just isn't here, and you don't think Vivian
Peterson has it?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (08:37):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I don't know. It's obviously even taken out of here
to buy home, and how and where is it? Now?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I wish you wouldn't ask questions like that.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Maybe it's the questions that I know, are you Mary,
But it's the answers that bother me.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
Yes, Joseph Carwell, Yes, John Colbron the book you, mister Carlwell.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Oh, so you are in the market for a certain book,
A certain book A yes, A.
Speaker 8 (09:13):
Valuable book, yes, first and the only edition of radis Faust.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Oh, most definitely, mister Toby.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I haven't, William.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Mister Carwell, you do, But how I have long been
under the impression that the only one that existed is
in the bolt uh of the city library.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
It was in the bolt cause I have a book.
How if you have the prize?
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
But that goes without saying, mister Toby, if you have
the book, of course I have the prize. But it
tells me how did you manage to procure the book?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
How?
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Mister Calwell, I'm not surprised that you ask a lot
of other people would like to know that too.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
What's the matter with you, Blankie? I've got a murder
case on my hands and all you worry about is
a stolen book.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
You're what's the matter with me?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Saturday?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I couldn't waste my time final explain to you. Uh.
Don't you see whoever stole that book also murdered Harold Benson?
Speaker 6 (10:16):
What makes you think so?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
I think so because Benson was an honest man. He
knew who stole the book and threatened to go to
the police unless the book was returned. He was shot
and killed with bubble.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
And you want to be shot and killed? But the
property caused me? All right? So your theory is okay,
whoever stole the book kill Benson? Who stole the book?
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Now you're with me? First of all, let's figure out
who didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Oh, Mary Wesley didn't generous inspect him.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
No, Mary didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It's uh Calvin didn't.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
The library attendant. Uh.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I think that miss Peterson didn't.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
No, she proves that.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I think when she decided to come back to town.
Was Mary Benson didn't. He wasn't near the library. Besides,
he's dead.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Excellent production Faraday.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
So who did steal the book.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Nobody who's left Angus?
Speaker 7 (11:04):
He attended in the vault?
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Why you get dumber every day? How could Angus have
thtrolen the book? He was carried out of the vault unconscious. Besides,
he was in the hospital when Benson was shot.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
You're logically perfect, and so as your records for not
getting anything done.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I know Angus is an impossible suspect, but the possible
suspects are rather dead or innocent. So if you won't
bother to go see Angus the hospital, I will go ahead.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
What can he tell us that's important?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I only hope nobody got to him, pressed and made
sure Angus wouldn't be able to talk.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Now back to Boston, Blackie, The disappearance of a valuable
book from the public library is noticed when the vault
attendant is taken to a hospital. Vivian Peterson, employee of
Harold Benson, rare book dealer, is in the book vault
(12:10):
at the time. The theft is discovered, but Benson is
subsequently murdered, removing one of Blackie's suspects. The book is
still missing, but unknown to Blackie and the police, it
has fallen into the hands of a mister Tobin, who.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Plans to sell it.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Blackie and Mary Wesley have gone to the hospital to
visit the ailing guard.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
How are you feeling, mister Angus? A bit weak?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Thank you the bitter girden I'm bought from Blackie Angus
and missus Miss Wesley?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
How do you doing?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
What do you do? Do you know what happened at
the vault just afternoon today?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I hardly know what happened to me. All I remember
is being in the vault one minute and then waking
up in a Crawford ambulance in the.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Next in a Crawford And yes, hm.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Strange, I should think you had been picked up by
an ambulance from this hospital.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
And what happened at the ball was Blacky?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
What the one and only copy of the first edition
of Radway's Foster was stolen?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
School?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Oh, yes, I understand you passed out after you came
back from lunch. Where did you.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Eat in the Conto restaurant across the street from the library.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Who'd you eat with in the one I eat alone?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Uh not? How drops made your keel over in the
rare Book's fort. But you ate alone, Hm, Angus, who
was in the vault when you passed out?
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Some girl?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I don't know who she was? Why, dear us?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I think she stole a book, mister Anders, that's why
you ask. And I still think she killed her boss,
Harold Benson too.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
Black He won't you follow that hunch of mine? U?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Miss? You have uh nothing on here menu, just a
little information.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
But just a minute, I gotta wait, UNTI pain sure, Blackie,
what are we going in the brisk You just.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Following your hunch? Mary?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Ooh, d Anger says he ate here alone?
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Maybe he's not telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Now, That's just what I've kept seeing. That Ben Peterson
was in the balls when Angus passed out, she was
there when the book was sound missing, and the fact
that she works the Harold bench in a rare book dealer.
It's just too much to be coincidence.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Right saying it doesn't sound wrong? Now?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
What you make it?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Quick and busy?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You know Angus the attendant and the rare book falls
of the library.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Angus, Be sure I know him?
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Good? Did he eat hear this noon?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Noon?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No, he ain't been here in a week.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
He's been meeting some day across the street and going
down to some other rest to run.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
You met this uh uh dame this noon?
Speaker 7 (14:52):
Yeah? How do you know?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Cousin senior walked down the library steps today and she's
a looker. You couldn't miss her?
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Shu is she tall? Good looking, long black hair? Did
he wrong? Mister?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
How do you know?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Because from the description you just gave me, I know
she is Vivian Peterson.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, well maybe that means something, but doesn't to me.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Have you seen blacky?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Mister Anger said he didn't know mis Peterson, and this
girl said that she saw them together.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
So she did marry, which proves your hunch angus is
not only lying in a hospital, then he's lying period
to mind. Mary, let's get out of here.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
M where are we going now?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I think we'll pay a little visit to Vivian Peterson.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
Oh where do you drop me?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (15:32):
My goshay's raining.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
I don't know why you say that radically a cloud
bird Well restaurant is waterpoop.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Let's go back inside.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Uh huh. We're gonna get a cab, I hope.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
And go see mc peterson.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
For business reasons, Mary.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Vivian Peterson called the Crawford ambulance to Henry Angus. I
think the private ambulance angle tells me how the book
was taken out of the wolf.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Well, it doesn't tell me, so suppose you do.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
The book was carried out on top of the Crowford
ambulance strutcher and under the unconscious form of Henry Angus.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You mean as Peterson gave mister Angus to knock out trunk.
Then she went into the volt with him, waited for
one to pass out pet the book under him, and
then she called the Crawford amb in service and had
him pick up mister Angus and the book at the
same time.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Right, look, you stand at this owning. I'll go down
to the corner there and see if I can't get
a cab. All right, don't go away now, taxi tycy okay, okay,
don't stop looking for something, but uh yeah, a cab,
but put away that gun. Not even I will get
(16:40):
your cabin weather like this and looking for the cab
and looking for you getting this guy here, why, I
sure will with pleasure, with pleasure, but I'm not gonna
get in with you. Hm nicecott I fellow decided to
lend me much better than a taxi and Mary, did
(17:04):
you go a cab?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Private car? Marry happened?
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Blackie?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Where did you get this car?
Speaker 4 (17:09):
See that fella lying back there on the sidewalk?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Oh, oh, my gosh, what happened to him?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
No, nothing happened.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
He tried to force me into his car here with
the help of a gun, but I persuaded and fled
down and let me take the car by myself.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh, good riddance.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I don't think he was inviting me to take a
joy ride with him. Oh no, no, not with a gun.
Any can.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Well, are we still going to see the impetus?
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Yes? We know how good she looks.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Let's find out how well she talks.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
She doesn't seem to be home.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Blacky nose Peterson is probably going to be as tough
to find from now on as that book. Now let's
try to do huh, it's open good.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
How soon will we hear from expect to Saturday about
who owns the car with a wild.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Now I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I phoned him the license number a half an hour ago.
You should know by now they're calling from here. Oh
it's dark in here.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
There's a light switch.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Oh yeah, fair do give ah, give me a light switching.
With my college education, I can send on almost every
light in the place, right in theirs.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
And.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yes, glaring and look what I'm glaring at.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Oh it's missus Peterson and she looks slightly bad and merry. Oh,
I'd better call a police as the phone.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Black he I suppose you realized that I wasn't exactly
right about miss Pearson seeing Jilly.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I do now you always had.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Me convinced, though.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well you then stop quoting, would you?
Speaker 7 (18:58):
If Friday?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
This is Blankie to tell you something very interesting? But
first I called you a little while ago to check
on the license number of the car I picked up
from a guy you doing. Yeah, the card blocks to
John Tobin.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Oh what so nothing?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
But I've got a little something for you Saturday.

as that. It's another body out what buddy b o,
d y buddy. And when it was walking around it
was called Vivian Peterson.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
You probably are inspector.

She's dead in her own apartment and I don't think she'll.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Go anywhere till you get here.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
If you hurry bye.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Well that's that. What are you doing there?

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Mater Peter? Who it is? Hm?
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Let me read it?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Yes, since your present employer will not procure the book
for me at any price, I have contacted John Tobin.
The same author goes, if you want to work with
mister Tobin, you will get ten percent of my purchase price.
If the book signed Joseph Caldwell.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
That's a funny way to sell Joseph for the nest.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
John's born And I can sound farther and do Mary.
Fact is, what are you going to do find mister
Tobin's phone number and telephone book? I mean especially I
mister Joseph's bought them blocking Causwell would like to make
the appointment to see him.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Hello, Hello, mister John Thorbin.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Yes, Joseph Caldwell, peach Joseph Colvin.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Yes, I understand you have that book that I wanted.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Are you ready to see me? And uh do business?
Speaker 10 (21:15):
Well, I'm ready to see you. He's good when better

Speaker 7 (21:23):
I will be there. Thank you, good.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Wife, goodbye.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Mm this is a complication, yes, mister Thorby, mister Thorbin,
why if you take out from by broad or gun.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
I don't be alarmed. It's not for you, mister Caldron.
It's for the man who just called to say he
was mister Joseph Caldwell.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yes, I mean mister, Yes, I am mister called Well.
I was gonna be telophoned with you. Oh yes, come

Speaker 10 (22:07):
You don't know, mister Caldwell. He's mister Caldwell. Uh oh
he was here when you phone. I don't move whoever
you are. This gun might not care.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
Who you are. I'm bought from black here, and don't worry.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
I won't move and advise you not too black here.
I don't be as easy to handle as the man
I sent to pick up of my car.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Oh so you sent that man to pick me up?
Did you did you think I was getting.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Too close to tracing that book to you?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
That's right, complimentary jector, I think.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
May I ask one.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Favorite dang man and the last request, what is it?
Speaker 7 (22:38):
May I see the book that caused all the trouble.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
That you do no harm? Now in this drawer here?
Speaker 10 (22:45):
Yeah, you may look at it, but please be careful
that I see what you're doing.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Oh oh, he's so careful, it'll hurt. So this is
a right way? Huh? Mother?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Have use that isn't important? It is old and it
is rare.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
That is important, mister Cardwell here's I've had to pay
plenty for it.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I must have the book.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I must have it. Well, you'll get it according to
miss Toubyn's plans, but not according to mine. I think
he'll get it right in this big fight, fright. Poor
boy thinks straight, doesn't shoot straight? And don't you get
gay Corbell just the way you are. Well, a little
learning will be a dangerous thing. Say, broken a big book.
(23:25):
I threw that pretty accurately.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Don't you think I do not know?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I do not know what face's about. No, it's about
a book that was stolen. It's about an attendant was
knocked out. It's not a book dealer and his girl
assistant who were murdered. And that's about the most complicated
case I have all worked on.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
So your terry was right.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yes, Livian Peterson stole the book from miss Tobana, all right,
with the help of the ambulance men who were in
on the planet. My theory about the murder of Harold
Benson was right.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Too, Okay, sure, take a vow. Now, let's see. Denton
figured out who had the book and threatened to go
to the police. So Tobyn killed him and had a
clear feel to tell a book to mister kolg and
tobyin killed mc peterson too, didn't he right?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Why?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Same old story, Mary. Miss Peterson didn't bargain for murder
when she read to steal the book when Benson was killed.
First she tried to run away, then she threatened to
go to the police. Our friend Angus wasn't in on
the deal. All he did was fall in love was
Vivian Peterson and lied to us about not eating with her.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well, as long as the police have recovered the book,
I don't think he'll be too rough on him to
you even though he may not get back his library.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
M maybe not.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
You know, Mary, I'm satisfied with everything about this case
except one thing.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
What's that something you wanted to do and didn't.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Yes, I wanted the tiptoe up in back of that
library and miss Calvin and whisper in her ear quietly.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
The people are reading da
Man, oh mass, this is just this is nice of
a young lady. Please lord your voice.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh I'm very verious.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Oh my dear young lady. You don't have to overdo it.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
So I wasn't overdoing it. I was just taking it yourself.
This for a moment and make gottiing too loudly a
moment before.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Is this something I can do for you? Or have
you just come into the library to be annoying.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I'm sorry, I really am, and there is something you
can do for me. I understand you have a valuable
first edition and I would like to see it. If
i'm as, you may see it.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
But whatever it is, you can't take it out.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Uh, I can't know.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
All the rare and valuable books must stay in the vault.
I'll give you a pass, may please?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Mary Wesley that twelve nineteen Dale Avenue.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, it's your pass.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Give it to the attendant when you get into the vault.
Thank you. Now you tell me something.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Where's the vault right there?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
That's first joy on the levels? Thank you, Thank you
very somebody quick in the rare book vault that the
attendant in there is dying? What what's the matter?
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Where's the telephony? He does? Look over us. I'll call
an ambulance and get a doctor. You would, and you
two held him? Somebody do something.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
And now meet Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy to
those who make him an enemy, friend to those who
have no friends.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Pe me?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Can't you even be quiet? This is a public library.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
People like I be.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Here, not anymore than I And when I want quiet,
I'll get it quiet. Quiet everybody see what I mean?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yes, inspect a Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's how if you know.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Your voice said yes Saturday, it's easy, just lowered to
match your IQ.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
WHI planky? What's your name, lady Jane Calvin.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I'm the assistant librarian in charge of the vault.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Eh, what happened here?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I don't know exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I was busy.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It's like I can explain, Inspector.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Paraday, you can. Who are you?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
My name is Vivian Peterson.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
I was there in the vault.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
When the attendant collapsed alone.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yes, only the attendant and I were in there When
he told her the floor.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I thought he was dead and ran out to call
an ambulance. One of these other women must have called
the police.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Yes, I called the police. What did you do? Miss
Wesley removed the body?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
It wasn't anybody in sector Paraday. When I got in there,
we found out that if the man was alive, and
when the ambulance got here, it took.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Him to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh, I see.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
How do you happen to be lanky?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Mary called me once she thought might be troubled here.
How right she was.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
She must have known.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
You've come down on the call. That's enough.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
How any blanking? Yeah, mis Calvi, And I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
This is a public library and people are reading her
a day. Don't you wish you'd learn to block blanking?
Speaker 6 (03:14):
You have no business being here what I can see
so far, neither of I. Come on Roylands for getting
out of.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Here so soon Friday, or don't do that? I have
they have some picture books in the children's department.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Why don't you'll be quiet, blank here have a day holiday?
Speaker 7 (03:26):
Know your voice. This is a public.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Come on, Roylands. There's nothing wrong here. A guy fainting,
the call of police, an ambulance, and Miss Wesley here
calls Boston Blackie. It's a good case for you to
work on, Blankie. There's no crime, no suspects, no angles,
no mystery, and you get just the kind of a mind.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
How awful?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Well do you mean?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
How awful?
Speaker 8 (03:48):
Michel?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
What's awful?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
A first edition of brad Races Post, one of the
most valuable.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Books in the vault is mity what how do you know?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Good paper? The checker here just gave it to me
bad race. Now he's looking. It's the only copy of
its kind, is worth thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's been done.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Tell me was it here before the attendant had his attack?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yes? It, But there's no crime on Paraday, not much.
You're right, this is just the case for me, Frank.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
You stand out of this? Do you hear me? Stand
out of this?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
USh is the public library? Remember, yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:21):
And uh, people are reading books?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Well that's nothing. But apparently people are stealing books too.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Hey you over there?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Is this the road to Johntown?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, just driving street about a full mile.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Hey, they could slid shop back there, or you've just
shot somebody bought on you.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I wouldn't be surprised, thank you. Oh darn, I'm trying
for a floor.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
World.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
M Well, look who's here? Helo?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Miss Peterson? Were you going somewhere?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I was, Miss Wesley. And if you are don't let
me stop you. I knew you were following me.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Of course did you. You should be glad I was when
I'll give you a lift back to the city. You
can't very well ride back on that flat tie or
I wasn't going back to the city. Well maybe you weren't,
but you are now.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I thought it was your boyfriend Boston Blackie, who was
the tough member of your team.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Ms.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Wesley, I don't know why you followed me, and I
don't care.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You will look Miss Tudison in second Fara. They told
me that Angus, the library attendant was said knockout, droop.
You were the only one in that library vault when
he keeled over. Now I think there's a connection, especially
since you suddenly decided to leave town.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Better mind your own business. Mist Better get in that
car of yours and keep going.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Nope, unless you meant that that would be better for you.
I'll tell you something else. I found out that you
were the Harold Benson, the rare book dealer. One about it,
worked for a rare book dealer, very rare book missing
from a library and you were in the library at
the time. Doesn't that strike you as being peculiar.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Miss Wesley. I don't think you realized I was searched
before I left the library after the book was reported missing.
By the way, were you no, Mary Wesley, friend of
the notorious Boston Blackie, just happens to be in a
library where a very valuable book is suddenly fond missing,
isn't searched.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
When she leaves?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Doesn't that strike you?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
As Petuna, Get in this car, Miss Peterson, get in
here before I aught knock me out the way you
do the library at ten. We'll no, But that isn't
such a bad idea. Maybe I will at that, And
again maybe you won't see what I mean? Oh pretty
is Pearl handled it quite effective? I imagine this done
very well. At least it proves that I was right.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Miss Peterson.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
You don't dare shoot me. And when I tell the
police what I know, what is it?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Miss Western? I know the whole story.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
If you worked for Harold Benson, that he paid you,
he had hold of that copy of Radway's Spouse, that
you took care of the library attendant was knock out dropped,
that you got the book out somehow, and that you
delivered it to Harold Benson. So you think I was
trying to get out of tall because Benson paid me
to feel that book. Of course I do. Well, it's right,
it has to be, does it? Well, Miss Wesley, for
(07:27):
your information, I just left police headquarters.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
They told me Harold Benson was murdered in his store
an hour ago.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Oh sure, I'm just about of late Mary. Look for
the small but it's got more good hiding places.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I know, Blacky, you've been looking for hours. Why don't
you give up?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Why?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Because we searched the late mister Benson's store, we searched
Benson's home. You couldn't find that book. That means only
one thing.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, the book must still be here in the book,
and that's way Peterson Gill took it. I'm blassie. I
still think that Vivian Peterson is juilty.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
I think not Mary.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
She just got scared when Benson was killed and tried
to get out of time. Well, this loose board in
the wall, Yeah, this is.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
A worse hope.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Hey, hey, you pulled that board all the way off.
You know what what's behind it?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
The end of our last hope, Mary, A blank wall,
and that's what we're up against. Two a blank wall.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
That book just isn't here, and you don't think Vivian
Peterson has it?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (08:37):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I don't know. It's obviously even taken out of here
to buy home, and how and where is it? Now?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I wish you wouldn't ask questions like that.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Maybe it's the questions that I know, are you Mary,
But it's the answers that bother me.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
Yes, Joseph Carwell, Yes, John Colbron the book you, mister Carlwell.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Oh, so you are in the market for a certain book,
A certain book A yes, A.
Speaker 8 (09:13):
Valuable book, yes, first and the only edition of radis Faust.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Oh, most definitely, mister Toby.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I haven't, William.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Mister Carwell, you do, But how I have long been
under the impression that the only one that existed is
in the bolt uh of the city library.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
It was in the bolt cause I have a book.
How if you have the prize?
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
But that goes without saying, mister Toby, if you have
the book, of course I have the prize. But it
tells me how did you manage to procure the book?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
How?
Speaker 8 (09:48):
Mister Calwell, I'm not surprised that you ask a lot
of other people would like to know that too.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
What's the matter with you, Blankie? I've got a murder
case on my hands and all you worry about is
a stolen book.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
You're what's the matter with me?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Saturday?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I couldn't waste my time final explain to you. Uh.
Don't you see whoever stole that book also murdered Harold Benson?
Speaker 6 (10:16):
What makes you think so?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
I think so because Benson was an honest man. He
knew who stole the book and threatened to go to
the police unless the book was returned. He was shot
and killed with bubble.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
And you want to be shot and killed? But the
property caused me? All right? So your theory is okay,
whoever stole the book kill Benson? Who stole the book?
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Now you're with me? First of all, let's figure out
who didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Oh, Mary Wesley didn't generous inspect him.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
No, Mary didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It's uh Calvin didn't.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
The library attendant. Uh.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I think that miss Peterson didn't.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
No, she proves that.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I think when she decided to come back to town.
Was Mary Benson didn't. He wasn't near the library. Besides,
he's dead.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Excellent production Faraday.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
So who did steal the book.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Nobody who's left Angus?
Speaker 7 (11:04):
He attended in the vault?
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Why you get dumber every day? How could Angus have
thtrolen the book? He was carried out of the vault unconscious. Besides,
he was in the hospital when Benson was shot.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
You're logically perfect, and so as your records for not
getting anything done.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I know Angus is an impossible suspect, but the possible
suspects are rather dead or innocent. So if you won't
bother to go see Angus the hospital, I will go ahead.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
What can he tell us that's important?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I only hope nobody got to him, pressed and made
sure Angus wouldn't be able to talk.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Now back to Boston, Blackie, The disappearance of a valuable
book from the public library is noticed when the vault
attendant is taken to a hospital. Vivian Peterson, employee of
Harold Benson, rare book dealer, is in the book vault
(12:10):
at the time. The theft is discovered, but Benson is
subsequently murdered, removing one of Blackie's suspects. The book is
still missing, but unknown to Blackie and the police, it
has fallen into the hands of a mister Tobin, who.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Plans to sell it.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Blackie and Mary Wesley have gone to the hospital to
visit the ailing guard.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
How are you feeling, mister Angus? A bit weak?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Thank you the bitter girden I'm bought from Blackie Angus
and missus Miss Wesley?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
How do you doing?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
What do you do? Do you know what happened at
the vault just afternoon today?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I hardly know what happened to me. All I remember
is being in the vault one minute and then waking
up in a Crawford ambulance in the.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Next in a Crawford And yes, hm.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Strange, I should think you had been picked up by
an ambulance from this hospital.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
And what happened at the ball was Blacky?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
What the one and only copy of the first edition
of Radway's Foster was stolen?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
School?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Oh, yes, I understand you passed out after you came
back from lunch. Where did you.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Eat in the Conto restaurant across the street from the library.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Who'd you eat with in the one I eat alone?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Uh not? How drops made your keel over in the
rare Book's fort. But you ate alone, Hm, Angus, who
was in the vault when you passed out?
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Some girl?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I don't know who she was? Why, dear us?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I think she stole a book, mister Anders, that's why
you ask. And I still think she killed her boss,
Harold Benson too.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
Black He won't you follow that hunch of mine? U?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Miss? You have uh nothing on here menu, just a
little information.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
But just a minute, I gotta wait, UNTI pain sure, Blackie,
what are we going in the brisk You just.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Following your hunch? Mary?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Ooh, d Anger says he ate here alone?
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Maybe he's not telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Now, That's just what I've kept seeing. That Ben Peterson
was in the balls when Angus passed out, she was
there when the book was sound missing, and the fact
that she works the Harold bench in a rare book dealer.
It's just too much to be coincidence.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Right saying it doesn't sound wrong? Now?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
What you make it?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Quick and busy?
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You know Angus the attendant and the rare book falls
of the library.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Angus, Be sure I know him?
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Good? Did he eat hear this noon?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Noon?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No, he ain't been here in a week.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
He's been meeting some day across the street and going
down to some other rest to run.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
You met this uh uh dame this noon?
Speaker 7 (14:52):
Yeah? How do you know?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Cousin senior walked down the library steps today and she's
a looker. You couldn't miss her?
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Shu is she tall? Good looking, long black hair? Did
he wrong? Mister?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
How do you know?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Because from the description you just gave me, I know
she is Vivian Peterson.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, well maybe that means something, but doesn't to me.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Have you seen blacky?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Mister Anger said he didn't know mis Peterson, and this
girl said that she saw them together.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
So she did marry, which proves your hunch angus is
not only lying in a hospital, then he's lying period
to mind. Mary, let's get out of here.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
M where are we going now?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I think we'll pay a little visit to Vivian Peterson.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
Oh where do you drop me?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (15:32):
My goshay's raining.
Speaker 7 (15:34):

bird Well restaurant is waterpoop.
Speaker 2 (15:39):

Speaker 7 (15:40):
Uh huh. We're gonna get a cab, I hope.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
And go see mc peterson.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
For business reasons, Mary.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Vivian Peterson called the Crawford ambulance to Henry Angus. I
think the private ambulance angle tells me how the book
was taken out of the wolf.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Well, it doesn't tell me, so suppose you do.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
The book was carried out on top of the Crowford
ambulance strutcher and under the unconscious form of Henry Angus.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You mean as Peterson gave mister Angus to knock out trunk.
Then she went into the volt with him, waited for
one to pass out pet the book under him, and
then she called the Crawford amb in service and had
him pick up mister Angus and the book at the
same time.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Right, look, you stand at this owning. I'll go down
to the corner there and see if I can't get
a cab. All right, don't go away now, taxi tycy okay, okay,
don't stop looking for something, but uh yeah, a cab,
but put away that gun. Not even I will get

your cabin weather like this and looking for the cab
and looking for you getting this guy here, why, I
sure will with pleasure, with pleasure, but I'm not gonna
get in with you. Hm nicecott I fellow decided to
lend me much better than a taxi and Mary, did
(17:04):

Speaker 7 (17:05):
Private car? Marry happened?
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Blackie?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Where did you get this car?
Speaker 4 (17:09):
See that fella lying back there on the sidewalk?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Oh, oh, my gosh, what happened to him?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
No, nothing happened.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
He tried to force me into his car here with
the help of a gun, but I persuaded and fled
down and let me take the car by myself.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh, good riddance.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I don't think he was inviting me to take a
joy ride with him. Oh no, no, not with a gun.
Any can.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Well, are we still going to see the impetus?
Speaker 7 (17:34):
Yes? We know how good she looks.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Let's find out how well she talks.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
She doesn't seem to be home.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Blacky nose Peterson is probably going to be as tough
to find from now on as that book. Now let's
try to do huh, it's open good.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
How soon will we hear from expect to Saturday about
who owns the car with a wild.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Now I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I phoned him the license number a half an hour ago.
You should know by now they're calling from here. Oh
it's dark in here.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
There's a light switch.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Oh yeah, fair do give ah, give me a light switching.
With my college education, I can send on almost every
light in the place, right in theirs.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
And.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yes, glaring and look what I'm glaring at.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Oh it's missus Peterson and she looks slightly bad and merry. Oh,
I'd better call a police as the phone.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Black he I suppose you realized that I wasn't exactly
right about miss Pearson seeing Jilly.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I do now you always had.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Me convinced, though.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well you then stop quoting, would you?
Speaker 7 (18:58):
If Friday?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
This is Blankie to tell you something very interesting? But
first I called you a little while ago to check
on the license number of the car I picked up
from a guy you doing. Yeah, the card blocks to
John Tobin.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Oh what so nothing?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
But I've got a little something for you Saturday.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
What.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
No, it's something that won't please you quite as much
as that. It's another body out what buddy b o,
d y buddy. And when it was walking around it
was called Vivian Peterson.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
You probably are inspector.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
She's dead in her own apartment and I don't think she'll.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Go anywhere till you get here.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
If you hurry bye.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Well that's that. What are you doing there?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
You're trying to pull a blossom, Blackie and find a clue.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Trying to show me, ef, what'd you find?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
What's in specton Saturday? Find out about the car you appropriated?
Speaker 7 (19:56):
Oh man named John Tobinon's and.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Why John Toben Blackie?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
You meant? And then one of the letters here on
Miss Peterson's dead?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
What I'll see them?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Mater Peter? Who it is? Hm?
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Let me read it?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Yes, since your present employer will not procure the book
for me at any price, I have contacted John Tobin.
The same author goes, if you want to work with
mister Tobin, you will get ten percent of my purchase price.
If the book signed Joseph Caldwell.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
That's a funny way to sell Joseph for the nest.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
John's born And I can sound farther and do Mary.
Fact is, what are you going to do find mister
Tobin's phone number and telephone book? I mean especially I
mister Joseph's bought them blocking Causwell would like to make
the appointment to see him.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Hello, Hello, mister John Thorbin.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Yes, Joseph Caldwell, peach Joseph Colvin.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Yes, I understand you have that book that I wanted.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Are you ready to see me? And uh do business?
Speaker 10 (21:15):
Well, I'm ready to see you. He's good when better
come right over? I think yes, come over right away.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
I will be there. Thank you, good.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Wife, goodbye.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Mm this is a complication, yes, mister Thorby, mister Thorbin,
why if you take out from by broad or gun.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
I don't be alarmed. It's not for you, mister Caldron.
It's for the man who just called to say he
was mister Joseph Caldwell.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yes, I mean mister, Yes, I am mister called Well.
I was gonna be telophoned with you. Oh yes, come
in mister Colwn No, thank you. You can get right
down to business, mister Cardwell, yes, I.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
Think so we can. Uh say, uh, who used the man?
Speaker 10 (22:07):
You don't know, mister Caldwell. He's mister Caldwell. Uh oh
he was here when you phone. I don't move whoever
you are. This gun might not care.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
Who you are. I'm bought from black here, and don't worry.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
I won't move and advise you not too black here.
I don't be as easy to handle as the man
I sent to pick up of my car.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Oh so you sent that man to pick me up?
Did you did you think I was getting.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Too close to tracing that book to you?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
That's right, complimentary jector, I think.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
May I ask one.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Favorite dang man and the last request, what is it?
Speaker 7 (22:38):
May I see the book that caused all the trouble.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
That you do no harm? Now in this drawer here?
Speaker 10 (22:45):
Yeah, you may look at it, but please be careful
that I see what you're doing.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Oh oh, he's so careful, it'll hurt. So this is
a right way? Huh? Mother?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Have use that isn't important? It is old and it
is rare.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
That is important, mister Cardwell here's I've had to pay
plenty for it.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I must have the book.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I must have it. Well, you'll get it according to
miss Toubyn's plans, but not according to mine. I think
he'll get it right in this big fight, fright. Poor
boy thinks straight, doesn't shoot straight? And don't you get
gay Corbell just the way you are. Well, a little
learning will be a dangerous thing. Say, broken a big book.
(23:25):
I threw that pretty accurately.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Don't you think I do not know?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I do not know what face's about. No, it's about
a book that was stolen. It's about an attendant was
knocked out. It's not a book dealer and his girl
assistant who were murdered. And that's about the most complicated
case I have all worked on.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
So your terry was right.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yes, Livian Peterson stole the book from miss Tobana, all right,
with the help of the ambulance men who were in
on the planet. My theory about the murder of Harold
Benson was right.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Too, Okay, sure, take a vow. Now, let's see. Denton
figured out who had the book and threatened to go
to the police. So Tobyn killed him and had a
clear feel to tell a book to mister kolg and
tobyin killed mc peterson too, didn't he right?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Why?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Same old story, Mary. Miss Peterson didn't bargain for murder
when she read to steal the book when Benson was killed.
First she tried to run away, then she threatened to
go to the police. Our friend Angus wasn't in on
the deal. All he did was fall in love was
Vivian Peterson and lied to us about not eating with her.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well, as long as the police have recovered the book,
I don't think he'll be too rough on him to
you even though he may not get back his library.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
M maybe not.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
You know, Mary, I'm satisfied with everything about this case
except one thing.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
What's that something you wanted to do and didn't.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Yes, I wanted the tiptoe up in back of that
library and miss Calvin and whisper in her ear quietly.
