the Month club.
Speaker 3 (05:20):

joint huh.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Not one swell giant Shirley, three of them. She has
this house, a place at bar Harbor, and a quarter
million dollar shack at Palm.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Be No wonder nobody else has got any money. She's
got it all.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yes, Missus Worthington, Yes, we'd like to talk to you.
May we come in?
Speaker 9 (05:42):
Why?
Speaker 6 (05:43):
Yes, of course, thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Come on, charniere.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
You gentlemen are here for some special reason.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yes, Missus Worthington. Oh, by the way, aren't you the
famous concert pianist.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well, I was in my younger days.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
But it's been a oh, a good fifteen years since.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
I was on the concert stage.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Has it been that long? Really? I remember you very well?
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Why, thank you, monsieur?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Oh forgive me. I'm Boston black He and missus Shorty.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
And how you do Boston Blackie and Shorty mister Shorty
Hey get never know where.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Of what Missus Worthington. I hope when I'm closing a sposing.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
We're not said.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
I'm quite lone here and quite happy to have company,
especially the same as Boston Blackie.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Thank you, missus Worthington.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Oh way, But forgive me when I say I'm quite alone,
I'm not telling the truth. My maid, Madelon Burns, lives
here with me, but she's out just now.
Speaker 9 (06:41):
She's out, like I like.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
She said she saw a real life ghost here.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Lady.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That's why we're here. As a matter of fact. That's Worthington.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
We wondered if you you wondered if I saw the
ghosts that frightened Madeline.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Don't tell me you did, oh.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Dear me.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
No.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Madlin is a very nice girl, but she's not too bright.
She's always hearing and seeing things.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Well, she's in good hands, and I imagine she'll be
all right again a little while.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
You're not alone here, now, are.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You, missus Worthington.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
Yes, I am.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, perhaps you'd better get someone to stay with you
to night.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Oh no, I'm quite all right alone.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I think it'd be wiser if you'd get someone over
for one of your family.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Perhaps I have no family except for Ernest, my nephew,
and I'll be much more comfortable alone with the ghosts
than with him.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right, Missus Worthington, we'll get your Maide back to
you as soon as possible.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Well, you needn't worry about rushing her back. There are
no ghosts here except my memories, and they are the
kind of ghosts I like.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Hello Mary, oh wacky.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yes, and it's just as I thought, our friend Madelan
Byrne this has been frightened by one of her own hallucinations.
No ghosts, huh, No ghosts.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
He's good, good.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Oh, we're sure.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
He'll be up soon. He stopped in the delicate testing
for a few things.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Hungry, and I'm tired too. I was trying to read
while you were gone, but the words began.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
To get fuzzy.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
A frightened friend, because you have any trouble?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
No, No, she's still sleep. I guess I haven't been
into serious since you left. I've been sitting out here.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well let's take a look at it. Huh. And she's
all right. I'd like to send her back to Missus Worthington.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Oh, I think she should be all right going now.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Wait, I'll love them to do her.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Oh, I'll black you we better go in quietly. I
don't think she'd be able to take another scared tonight.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You think it's all right to do my life?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You all turn on. Thanks.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
And if you think we ought to wake her up.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Oh I don't. I don't think he'll do her any harm.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Stay, why not? The window is opening here? The room's
offully stuffy.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
I thought i'd better keep him closed enough until she
went to sleep. Uh, you know, just just in case,
and then I forgot to come in and open.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well, I'll open one of them now where you white?
Wake up?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Frightened beauty?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Alright, Marlon?
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Marlon?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
What's my Mary?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Why are you feeling your pulse?
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I'm not feeling because there isn't any what blackie?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
This girl is dead? Wow?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Mary? Uh you know about these things? Can you tell
how she died?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
No? No, can't.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
It doesn't mean to be a mark on it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Well, I don't see how she could have been murdered.
You were sitting in the room outside, and the windows
in here a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, well she she might have been.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I'll get the phone. Married don't touch anything in here
just yet.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
No, I won't.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Hello, Yes, Oh, yes, Missus Worthington, I have Missus Worthington.
If you'll just well, I can't send Madeline back. Miss Worthington, but.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Take it easy.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I'll get the police down there right away.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
I will, I will.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Missus Worthington, just be calm, I will.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Goodbye.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Now she's seeing ghosts, well, she's seeing something I know.
But something's going on in that house. And I think
it's about time somebody did something Friday, this is Blankie,
not this time.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
I've got a dead body for you.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Maybe. So it's here in my apartment, dead without a
mark on it, and in a locked room. What yes,
And don't say I did it because I didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I'm coming right out.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Look, I think you better investigate the Worthington home before
you come up here. Missus Worthington just called me and
she's seeing ghosts.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Well, I'm all, I look like you don't bother me
about ghosts.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Don't stay there in your apartment.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
I don't nutch anything. I'll be up there right away.
What do you say about you?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
He said he'd for us to stay here, So get
your hand, code Mary. We're going to the Worthington mansion
to find out what it's.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Like to either speak to or spite of Spook.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And now back to Boston, Blackie Madeline burns the maid
in the home of Missus Worthington, one time concert pianist,
is frightened by what she claims is a ghost. Blackie
has the hysterical girl put to bed by his friend
Mary Wesley. Then Blackie and this call Shorty go to
(11:51):
the Worthington home to see Missus Worthington. The kind old
lady informed them that there are no ghosts in her
home and that.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
The maid suffers from hallucination.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Blackie returns to see how the maid is getting along,
and he and Mary find her dead.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
Missus Worthington forms.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Hysterically for Blackie to come to her house, and as
we return to our story, Blackie and Mary l R.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I've heard dog, Oh, Blackie, maybe Missus Worthington home.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, Mary, we've knocked on the door enough times to
be the police. Let's try going in and see what.
Speaker 7 (12:28):

Speaker 5 (12:42):
Well, I'd like.

A little child at the pianner.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yes, it does. Guess Missus Worthington isn't alone after all.
The music is coming from in there. Let's go in.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Hey, hang, wait for me.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I I just don't want to go to.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Think I came in.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Whoever is playing that? Panna say? He has a lot
to learn?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Whoever it is?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Mary? Look who was it the keyboard? Oh, Missus Worthington.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Saying that thing over and over again.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
Oh no, oh, yes, Missus Worthington, Missus Worthington.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Oh hello, Missus Worthington. We've come to.
Speaker 3 (13:41):

Speaker 8 (13:43):
I can't just now, I'm practicing.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
I'm playing rather well.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Don't you think.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
It should be a sex come to? But for give me,
I can't talk anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I must not hear Mary come over this way.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Mm, she's going out of the mind.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I know it. When I saw a few hours ago,
she was as rational as you and I Blackie.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
See a something would would do this to her.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Maybe maybe it was a ghost. But we don't believe
his ghost, or do we?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I don't know. You tell me. Apparently Madeline Burns was
frightened to death by a ghost. Missus Worthington has lost
her mind because of a ghost.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Maybe, oh, thank goodness, she stopped running anymore.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
But look at him.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Mary she's staring at the door as if she sees.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Something, and there's nothing to see.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Except maybe a ghost. Yes, Mary, Oh, and if that
door opens for the first time in my life, I
hope it's only Faraday. I'll get him married.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Oh h maybe mister Worthington, nephew.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
You you'll call him, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
You know I did? You held my hat so tight
I hardly could dial the number.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Oh, where she goes?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And here's Faraday? Come in inspected?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What's going on here? Blankie?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You will find out? What about the girl in my apartment?
Howno'd you die?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Play in case of heart failure?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Then that proves it proves what she was frightened at
death by a ghost?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Sure as you are you still yapping about ghosts. I
quit believing in ghosts when I was. And who's playing
a piano in the other.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Room, Margaret Worthington, one who.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Used to be a famous concert pianist.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yes, and Paraday. She's completely out of her mind, crazy,
driven crazy by a boost.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Frankie, one more crack out of you will.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Come inside and talk to her. You'll find out for yourself.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I sure will. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh hello now, miss Wesley don't you give me any
crazy talk about ghost I don't think.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
It'll be very crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
If I do a thing. Good night.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well that's the door, I'll get it and I'll talk
to Missus Worthington.
Speaker 1 (16:04):

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh, yes, thank you for coming over. Come in, will you?
Who are you Boston Blankie?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah? What's going on here? Running on?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I don't know. One of the reasons I wanted to
see you is that I thought maybe you could tell me.
Yeah what who would frighten your aunt's maid to death
and pull a stunt to that sprightened your aunt out
of her mind?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
The maid's dead, My aunt's out of her mind.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yes, and apparently both because of ghosts. You must be
a little out of your mind too, No, just a
little out of my class. I don't know how to
fight ghosts.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Don't look at me. I don't either.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I don't want to have anything to do with my
aunt because she has nothing to do with me.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
She kept me out of her will about ten years ago.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Now, what's that your aunt practicing for the concert she's
going to give tonight.

You're kidding.

look at it.

Speaker 9 (21:31):

Speaker 6 (21:32):
Yes, but not the same old body that one belongs

Speaker 1 (21:36):
You want to know you probably kill him? Where are

Speaker 2 (21:39):

Speaker 1 (21:41):

Speaker 6 (21:44):
You can't arrest me until after you find Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Body, I'll send Rawlins up to see the body.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I wanna see you.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
No expected Paraday're black, He isn't here. Did you expect
to meet him here, I'm spector.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yes, well you'd probably be here in a few minutes.
Usually keeps his word.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Uh, missus Wennington, I'm afraid I have some bad news
for you about your nephew, Warness Clearland.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
He's he's dead. He's dead murdered.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
Oh well, I'm sorry, of course for him, but well
it makes things a lot easier for me.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Mm.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
You see, there never have.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
Been any ghosts in this house, inspector, and I I
was never out of my mind.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
I was pretending you were.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Why.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Well, now that Ernest is dead, I I can tell you.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I had cut him.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
Out of my will and he's petting to kill the
unless I changed my will and left a large sum
of money to him.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I see, So you pretended to be out of your mind,
and because if you were declared insane, you couldn't legally
change your willow.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
It was a clever stunt, wasn't Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
But of course the life of Madelon Burns.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
I know I had no idea that I would cause her.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
You didn't cause her death, Missus Worth.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Blaggie, how do I look coming out from behind curtains, inspecting.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
You look better? Going gain boss?
Speaker 6 (23:18):
I'm not doing behind boss for her day.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And if you think Missus Worthington is responsible for a
maid's death, you're wrong again. What cause Madeleine's death was
a guilty conscience, A guilty conscience about what what she
and Ernest Cleveland were parting to do to Missus Worthington.
They were going to kill her together, and when Missus
Worthington told her about seeing a ghosts he made imagination
ran away with her and she thought she really saw
(23:42):
a ghost herself.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
They were going to cull Blackie.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
How do you know Madeline and quite her up? What
we found?
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Ernest Cleveland, Oh my goodness, push you f with you?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
You mean he's not dead?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Where'd you find a relance? And Blackie's apartment tied up
like a birthday present?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I did that to him Saturday and told you he
was dead, hoping that you'd tell Missus.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Wording why did you want me to think you was dead?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Well? When you wouldn't explain why you were afraid you'd
be killed I remembered what Ernest had said about being
cut out of your will. So I grabbed Ernest and
made him tell me about his deal with the maid,
tied him up and left him.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
For the police.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
And is that all there is to this whole ghost business?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
That's all I inspected. There are no such things as ghosts.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Hey, what's that? Thank you?
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Thank it ghost.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I'll tell you what you're laughing about.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Its surrounding the ghosts. And to know where not in
spec Yes, yes we are.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I saw one of your cops in your police car
when I came in, Mum. He probably fell asleep. The
radio and here is still on and right now he's
snoring right into the police microphone.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
MM.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
That's what that noise is.
Speaker 4 (24:58):

million dollar shack at Palm.

Be No wonder nobody else has got any money. She's
got it all.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yes, Missus Worthington, Yes, we'd like to talk to you.
May we come in?
Speaker 9 (05:42):
Why?
Speaker 6 (05:43):
Yes, of course, thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Come on, charniere.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
You gentlemen are here for some special reason.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yes, Missus Worthington. Oh, by the way, aren't you the
famous concert pianist.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well, I was in my younger days.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
But it's been a oh, a good fifteen years since.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
I was on the concert stage.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Has it been that long? Really? I remember you very well?
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Why, thank you, monsieur?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Oh forgive me. I'm Boston black He and missus Shorty.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
And how you do Boston Blackie and Shorty mister Shorty
Hey get never know where.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Of what Missus Worthington. I hope when I'm closing a sposing.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
We're not said.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
I'm quite lone here and quite happy to have company,
especially the same as Boston Blackie.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Thank you, missus Worthington.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Oh way, But forgive me when I say I'm quite alone,
I'm not telling the truth. My maid, Madelon Burns, lives
here with me, but she's out just now.
Speaker 9 (06:41):
She's out, like I like.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
She said she saw a real life ghost here.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Lady.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That's why we're here. As a matter of fact. That's Worthington.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
We wondered if you you wondered if I saw the
ghosts that frightened Madeline.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Don't tell me you did, oh.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Dear me.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
No.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Madlin is a very nice girl, but she's not too bright.
She's always hearing and seeing things.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Well, she's in good hands, and I imagine she'll be
all right again a little while.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
You're not alone here, now, are.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You, missus Worthington.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
Yes, I am.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, perhaps you'd better get someone to stay with you
to night.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Oh no, I'm quite all right alone.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I think it'd be wiser if you'd get someone over
for one of your family.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Perhaps I have no family except for Ernest, my nephew,
and I'll be much more comfortable alone with the ghosts
than with him.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right, Missus Worthington, we'll get your Maide back to
you as soon as possible.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Well, you needn't worry about rushing her back. There are
no ghosts here except my memories, and they are the
kind of ghosts I like.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Hello Mary, oh wacky.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yes, and it's just as I thought, our friend Madelan
Byrne this has been frightened by one of her own hallucinations.
No ghosts, huh, No ghosts.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
He's good, good.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Oh, we're sure.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
He'll be up soon. He stopped in the delicate testing
for a few things.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Hungry, and I'm tired too. I was trying to read
while you were gone, but the words began.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
To get fuzzy.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
A frightened friend, because you have any trouble?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
No, No, she's still sleep. I guess I haven't been
into serious since you left. I've been sitting out here.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well let's take a look at it. Huh. And she's
all right. I'd like to send her back to Missus Worthington.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Oh, I think she should be all right going now.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Wait, I'll love them to do her.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Oh, I'll black you we better go in quietly. I
don't think she'd be able to take another scared tonight.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You think it's all right to do my life?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You all turn on. Thanks.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
And if you think we ought to wake her up.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Oh I don't. I don't think he'll do her any harm.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Stay, why not? The window is opening here? The room's
offully stuffy.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
I thought i'd better keep him closed enough until she
went to sleep. Uh, you know, just just in case,
and then I forgot to come in and open.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well, I'll open one of them now where you white?
Wake up?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Frightened beauty?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Alright, Marlon?
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Marlon?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
What's my Mary?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Why are you feeling your pulse?
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I'm not feeling because there isn't any what blackie?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
This girl is dead? Wow?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Mary? Uh you know about these things? Can you tell
how she died?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
No? No, can't.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
It doesn't mean to be a mark on it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Well, I don't see how she could have been murdered.
You were sitting in the room outside, and the windows
in here a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, well she she might have been.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I'll get the phone. Married don't touch anything in here
just yet.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
No, I won't.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Hello, Yes, Oh, yes, Missus Worthington, I have Missus Worthington.
If you'll just well, I can't send Madeline back. Miss Worthington, but.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Take it easy.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I'll get the police down there right away.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
I will, I will.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Missus Worthington, just be calm, I will.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Goodbye.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Now she's seeing ghosts, well, she's seeing something I know.
But something's going on in that house. And I think
it's about time somebody did something Friday, this is Blankie,
not this time.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
I've got a dead body for you.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Maybe. So it's here in my apartment, dead without a
mark on it, and in a locked room. What yes,
And don't say I did it because I didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I'm coming right out.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Look, I think you better investigate the Worthington home before
you come up here. Missus Worthington just called me and
she's seeing ghosts.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Well, I'm all, I look like you don't bother me
about ghosts.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Don't stay there in your apartment.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
I don't nutch anything. I'll be up there right away.
What do you say about you?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
He said he'd for us to stay here, So get
your hand, code Mary. We're going to the Worthington mansion
to find out what it's.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Like to either speak to or spite of Spook.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And now back to Boston, Blackie Madeline burns the maid
in the home of Missus Worthington, one time concert pianist,
is frightened by what she claims is a ghost. Blackie
has the hysterical girl put to bed by his friend
Mary Wesley. Then Blackie and this call Shorty go to
(11:51):
the Worthington home to see Missus Worthington. The kind old
lady informed them that there are no ghosts in her
home and that.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
The maid suffers from hallucination.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Blackie returns to see how the maid is getting along,
and he and Mary find her dead.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
Missus Worthington forms.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Hysterically for Blackie to come to her house, and as
we return to our story, Blackie and Mary l R.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I've heard dog, Oh, Blackie, maybe Missus Worthington home.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, Mary, we've knocked on the door enough times to
be the police. Let's try going in and see what.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Nice try m h harry, mm, that isn't there.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Well, I'd like.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
A little child at the pianner.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yes, it does. Guess Missus Worthington isn't alone after all.
The music is coming from in there. Let's go in.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Hey, hang, wait for me.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I I just don't want to go to.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Think I came in.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Whoever is playing that? Panna say? He has a lot
to learn?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Whoever it is?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Mary? Look who was it the keyboard? Oh, Missus Worthington.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Saying that thing over and over again.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
Oh no, oh, yes, Missus Worthington, Missus Worthington.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Oh hello, Missus Worthington. We've come to.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Speak to you later.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
I can't just now, I'm practicing.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
I'm playing rather well.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Don't you think.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
It should be a sex come to? But for give me,
I can't talk anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I must not hear Mary come over this way.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Mm, she's going out of the mind.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I know it. When I saw a few hours ago,
she was as rational as you and I Blackie.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
See a something would would do this to her.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Maybe maybe it was a ghost. But we don't believe
his ghost, or do we?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I don't know. You tell me. Apparently Madeline Burns was
frightened to death by a ghost. Missus Worthington has lost
her mind because of a ghost.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Maybe, oh, thank goodness, she stopped running anymore.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
But look at him.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Mary she's staring at the door as if she sees.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Something, and there's nothing to see.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Except maybe a ghost. Yes, Mary, Oh, and if that
door opens for the first time in my life, I
hope it's only Faraday. I'll get him married.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Oh h maybe mister Worthington, nephew.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
You you'll call him, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
You know I did? You held my hat so tight
I hardly could dial the number.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Oh, where she goes?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And here's Faraday? Come in inspected?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What's going on here? Blankie?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You will find out? What about the girl in my apartment?
Howno'd you die?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Play in case of heart failure?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Then that proves it proves what she was frightened at
death by a ghost?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Sure as you are you still yapping about ghosts. I
quit believing in ghosts when I was. And who's playing
a piano in the other.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Room, Margaret Worthington, one who.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Used to be a famous concert pianist.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yes, and Paraday. She's completely out of her mind, crazy,
driven crazy by a boost.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Frankie, one more crack out of you will.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Come inside and talk to her. You'll find out for yourself.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I sure will. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh hello now, miss Wesley don't you give me any
crazy talk about ghost I don't think.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
It'll be very crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
If I do a thing. Good night.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well that's the door, I'll get it and I'll talk
to Missus Worthington.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Uh, Missus Worthington. Ye, I talked to you a minute.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'm coming.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Yes, I'm Ernest Clearland. Missus Worthington's not.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh, yes, thank you for coming over. Come in, will you?
Who are you Boston Blankie?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah? What's going on here? Running on?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I don't know. One of the reasons I wanted to
see you is that I thought maybe you could tell me.
Yeah what who would frighten your aunt's maid to death
and pull a stunt to that sprightened your aunt out
of her mind?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
The maid's dead, My aunt's out of her mind.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yes, and apparently both because of ghosts. You must be
a little out of your mind too, No, just a
little out of my class. I don't know how to
fight ghosts.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Don't look at me. I don't either.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I don't want to have anything to do with my
aunt because she has nothing to do with me.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
She kept me out of her will about ten years ago.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Now, what's that your aunt practicing for the concert she's
going to give tonight.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
You're kidding.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I wish I were come on in and have a
look at it.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Yeah, I want to see this. Missus Worthington.
Speaker 1 (17:05):

it makes things a lot easier for me.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Mm.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
You see, there never have.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
Been any ghosts in this house, inspector, and I I
was never out of my mind.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
I was pretending you were.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Why.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Well, now that Ernest is dead, I I can tell you.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I had cut him.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
Out of my will and he's petting to kill the
unless I changed my will and left a large sum
of money to him.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I see, So you pretended to be out of your mind,
and because if you were declared insane, you couldn't legally
change your willow.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
It was a clever stunt, wasn't Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
But of course the life of Madelon Burns.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
I know I had no idea that I would cause her.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
You didn't cause her death, Missus Worth.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Blaggie, how do I look coming out from behind curtains, inspecting.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
You look better? Going gain boss?
Speaker 6 (23:18):
I'm not doing behind boss for her day.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And if you think Missus Worthington is responsible for a
maid's death, you're wrong again. What cause Madeleine's death was
a guilty conscience, A guilty conscience about what what she
and Ernest Cleveland were parting to do to Missus Worthington.
They were going to kill her together, and when Missus
Worthington told her about seeing a ghosts he made imagination
ran away with her and she thought she really saw
(23:42):
a ghost herself.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
They were going to cull Blackie.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
How do you know Madeline and quite her up? What
we found?
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Ernest Cleveland, Oh my goodness, push you f with you?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
You mean he's not dead?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Where'd you find a relance? And Blackie's apartment tied up
like a birthday present?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I did that to him Saturday and told you he
was dead, hoping that you'd tell Missus.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Wording why did you want me to think you was dead?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Well? When you wouldn't explain why you were afraid you'd
be killed I remembered what Ernest had said about being
cut out of your will. So I grabbed Ernest and
made him tell me about his deal with the maid,
tied him up and left him.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
For the police.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
And is that all there is to this whole ghost business?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
That's all I inspected. There are no such things as ghosts.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Hey, what's that? Thank you?
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Thank it ghost.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I'll tell you what you're laughing about.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Its surrounding the ghosts. And to know where not in
spec Yes, yes we are.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I saw one of your cops in your police car
when I came in, Mum. He probably fell asleep. The
radio and here is still on and right now he's
snoring right into the police microphone.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
MM.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
That's what that noise is.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I hope
