Something told you to come.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yes, I sit alone, and all of a sudden things

she looked at least seventy years old, and you are
not more than twenty five. To tell you the.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Truth, I don't know how old I am. Oh, please,

Just a minute, Blackie, If it will make you more comfortable,
I'll be the way you remember me. I'm going into

me understand any of this. M Well, you said you
wouldn't be long. It's practically ten seconds. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You see, Blackie? I was Granny all the time, and
now I look like Grannie.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
This can't happen to me. Oh, I get it. This
whole thing is a gag. That young girl is in
that room.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Think so, Blackie, Come look, you bet I will well, Blackie,
you're looking.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yes, I am, And she's not here. And there's no
daughter this room except the one I just came through. Oh,
I get it. She went out through this window.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It's barred and bolted.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Blackie.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
See for yourself.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'm seeing that. I'm not believing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
There'd be no place for her to hide. There's nothing
here except these books. Blackie, you might just believe me.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Now, I better find something to believe in a hurry.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Believe in me, Blackie. I'm trying to look out for you. Blackie.
You mustn't go near Victoria Street tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Victoria Street? Why must I go near there?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Because of the fire?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
What fire?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The one that will break out at eight o'clock tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
There'll be a fire at eight o'clock and you know it. Now.
I don't get this. I don't get any of it
unless you're.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
A what Blackie a witch?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Well, yes, are you a witch?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I don't know, Blackie. Maybe I am. Sometimes I'm sure
I am. Like now.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
And now, back to Boston, Blackie at a party given
by his girlfriend Mary Wesley. Blackie is confronted by an
old hag who predicts two attempts will be made on
his life. When they happened, Blackie goes to see her,
only to be met by a very beautiful girl who
(12:14):
insists it was she who warned him the evening previous.
Along with this development comes word that Joe Hanson, lifelong
enemy of Blackie's, is in tom But Blackie's immediate concern
is the startlingly accurate predictions of his mysterious adviser. And
as we return to our story, Blackie is at home
reading up on Whitchcraft.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
How much longer are you going to strain your life
over that.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Book, Blackice? Until I find something that makes this which
case makes sense? I've gone through two books on witchcraft,
two books jammed with case histories of supernatural predictions which
came true. Now Here Here's once as recently as eighteen
fifty nine, a woman.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Mary thorprescous portold her husband's death two months before it happened.
He died as she predicted, and exactly the way she predicted.
He was struck by lightning while returning from a school
board meet. Oh that that's nonsense.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Sure, sure it couldn't have happened, only it did. See
who that is at the door when you marry?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
But suppose it's that Joe Hanson inspected Ferday called you about.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
If it is, say I'm not home, it won't be Hanson.
Mary Hanson wouldn't ring.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Well, okay, if you say, Sony, I wish you'd please give.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Up those books?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Not right now, Mary, Well.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
If that's the way you want it, all right, it's
all right on me.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Oh, Inspector Faraday, Sure, Inspector, fairly, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
In be it?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I told him about Joe Hanson, inspect your one. He's
got other things on his mind.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
What mine?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
No other inspector. Thanks for the tip on Hanson. I'll
take care of him as soon as I figure out
what's happening between me and a witch?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
What Blackie, are you baddy?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He's witch? Wacky, go scoofy and book silly Inspector.
Speaker 2 (13:38):

you with the fire on Victoria Street. Wasn't anybody hit?
What fire?
Speaker 7 (13:44):
On what?
Speaker 3 (13:44):

You got my message he's out of jail because you
helped send him up right, I thought you ought to know.
Speaker 2 (13:53):

my other problem.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Paraday, say maybe we got some news about him downtown? Okay,
to use the phone.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Nice.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
I didn't say you could use it, but you didn't
say I couldn't either, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Why isn't you and I always battled this way?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
The reason, thirdly is you and I.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
At quarters Rollins, Rollins, this is Friday, anything going on?
No inspect and not a thing, no news, and that
Johnson guy not to inspect that.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Everything's very quiet. It's a big fire down at Victoria Street.

do you know that which business I told you about?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Which witch?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Never mind, it's all tied up with Joe Hanson anyhow,
Hanson A, Hanson, A, B and C. First of all,
he hired an old hag to tell me a couple
of things that were going to happen.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Go ahead. You aren't making sense, but that's nothing.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Well, he hired this old gallow pal, knowing I'd be
very curious and investigated, which left him free to do
what he wanted to around town.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Why should he worry about you?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
He had a reason, Saturday. Believe me, he knew that
as soon as I found out he was loose, I'd
be on his trail, and he wanted to keep me busy,
So we hired that old goon.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
You'd think Joe Hanson planned this and then made the
old names predictions come true.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's right. The engineered everything, the falling chandelier, the big
blue limousine, the fire on Victoria Street, the library with
sliding panels so one girl could disappear, and that granny
make an entrance. I know that all now, who told
you a little bird a little telephone? What? I tried
to get in that house on Lincoln Lane as a
delivery man, but it didn't work. But I had brought
along a telephone cut in out of it, and that
did I heard Hanson telling that old wood be Witch's
(19:33):
plans about what about a job he was pulling last night?
Only Hanson doesn't know that I listened in on him.
He thinks that Granny told me about it. And if
I know Hanson, he's going to try to get Granny
for that.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
So what where do we go from here?

Speaker 2 (22:15):
It's right, it's me my gun, and I've got another friend,
inspected Paraday, who's coming around the house to Granby.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
If I'll never forget you, put this blanky lether.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Ooh boy, you haven't got much time to remember anything.
And Sugar, yeah, you tried to pretend you were the
young addition of Granny. Well, by the time you're out
of jail, you will be older than she is, So Blackie, at.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Least you grant me that there was nothing supernatural about
Granny and her predictions.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Well, I Marry, what interested in that?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Well you would much have said it. You told her
Inspector Faraday that Johnson arranged all those cunning little episodes
which Granny imagine in advance.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, I guess that's right, Mary mcgirl. Except for one thing,
of course, Paraday found it was Hanson's gun that knocked
off his ex buddy Pete. So there was no reason
for Hanson not to admit cooking up this witch thing
against me.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well he didn't he?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Oh, sure, hit? And it's everything except starting that fire
on Victorious Street.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Well he'd have no reason to deny that. Maybe he
didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Well in that case, how did Grannie know about it
in advance?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Oh? Oh, I I never thought about that. Well why
don't you ask her?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I tried to find her this morning, Mary, And maybe
she is a witch, and maybe she's just a frightened
old woman. But for all I know, she's disappeared into
thin air.
Hi, Blackie, are you having.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Fun him Mary's costume? Who are supposed to be Jonah Bark,
the Queen of England or the Bell of Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (00:32):

be merry uster sandwiches. Hadn't I keep everybody in news
for you?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Dear any suggestions on how that's done? Well?

If I knew you'd be king about the sandwiches. Hey,
by the way, you look off the sack as Robin
Hood Blackie, Are those real errands?

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Only you can.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Forget that when I get it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I will hurry with those sandwiches where you're married, but
I will. I'm the kind of a guest who has
an appetite for adventure, but I've also got a craving
for something a little more substantial. I'll be over at
the piano right.

long black dress. Her hair is practically white and ooh
this is so stringy and it could be arrested for
loitering all over her face.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
What about the face?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Well, from what I could see, maybe her hair doesn't
cover enough of it.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Sounds like a description of my schoolgirl sweetheart. Well, this
is a costume party, Mary, and anybody can come dressed
as anything she likes.
Speaker 1 (01:50):

What is it in trouble?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh no, Blackie, I'm not in trouble.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
You may never see tomorrow morning, Blackie, unless you listen
to me.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Aren't you being a little corny? Grannie?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I don't know how to convince you, Blackie. All I
know is that something told me to come here tonight
and warn you that death is very close to you.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Something told you to come.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yes, I sit alone, and all of a sudden things
come to me. They tell me what's going to happen.
They dare me to do something about it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
You are serious, aren't you. Well? Thanks for coming, Grannie,
but I can take care of myself.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Death is very close to you. It may come tomorrow
death may come in a car, a blue car, a
big blue limousine.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You're gonna have me believing this. If you don't stop,
I'll stop.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I have nothing else to say. But I can be
found at thy house fifty Lincoln Lane if you need me.
Remember what I see, Blackie, Death and a big blue
car tomorrow. Go back to your party, Blackie, have fun
while you can tonight, but keep away from the chandelier,
(04:29):
the middle chandelier in that room.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Good night. Hmm, Blackly, where will you so? I'm not
sure Mary, I think I live out in Lafoya.
Speaker 1 (04:45):

Speaker 2 (04:46):
No, no, I don't suppose so, okay, my lady, Let's
say that this party of yours.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Keep going right you are. Let's go over to the
center of the room. That I should play some Blacky help.
But an ACTI that happened.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
That's not what bothers me is. How can anyone know
what's going to happen?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Well, Blackie, if you're going to continue to walk knitting
your eyebrows, at least do something constructive with him. Make
me sweater, maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
H Marry. I can't get over that old lady who
came to your party last night. After all, she did
warn me about the chandelier.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I'm thinking about that big blue sedan. She warns you,
a bug. What's the matter with you? Are you scared?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You know better? I'm not scared, just careful.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, there goes the traffic light. Let's get to the
other side of the street and onto another subject.
Speaker 2 (05:38):

think we'll happen any day?
Speaker 1 (05:42):

I'm scared.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
That makes two of us lucky. We made the curb
in time. Lucky. Yes, Blackie.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Did you see the color of that big car that
almost ran up down?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I wasn't paying too much attention. I think it was blue.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It was blue, and it was the limousine.
Speaker 2 (06:03):

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I knew who you were, didn't I? Of course I'm Grannie.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I beg your pardon, but I'm afraid I heard what
you said. Now. Look, Grannie wasn't using make up, and
she looked at least seventy years old, and you are
not more than twenty five. To tell you the.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Truth, I don't know how old I am. Oh, please,

if I'm to help you.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's what I came to see you about it. Somebody
tried to run me down in an automobile about an
hour ago, a big blue limousine.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yes, I know as soon as it came to me how.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
They were going to try to kill you.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I I called you on the townphone, but there was
no answer.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute before I really stopped
believing this. First of all, how can you beat Grannie?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Just a minute, Blackie, If it will make you more comfortable,
I'll be the way you remember me. I'm going into
the next room a moment.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
All right, wasn't there a crystal ball? Your magic one?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Nothing's in here, black She accept my books.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Please wait, I'll wait, but it isn't man to help
me understand any of this. M Well, you said you
wouldn't be long. It's practically ten seconds. What's going on?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You see, Blackie? I was Granny all the time, and
now I look like Grannie.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
This can't happen to me. Oh, I get it. This
whole thing is a gag. That young girl is in
that room.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Think so, Blackie, Come look, you bet I will well, Blackie,
you're looking.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yes, I am, And she's not here. And there's no
daughter this room except the one I just came through. Oh,
I get it. She went out through this window.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
It's barred and bolted.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Blackie.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
See for yourself.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'm seeing that. I'm not believing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
There'd be no place for her to hide. There's nothing
here except these books. Blackie, you might just believe me.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Now, I better find something to believe in a hurry.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Believe in me, Blackie. I'm trying to look out for you. Blackie.
You mustn't go near Victoria Street tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Victoria Street? Why must I go near there?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Because of the fire?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
What fire?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The one that will break out at eight o'clock tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
There'll be a fire at eight o'clock and you know it. Now.
I don't get this. I don't get any of it
unless you're.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
A what Blackie a witch?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Well, yes, are you a witch?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I don't know, Blackie. Maybe I am. Sometimes I'm sure
I am. Like now.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
And now, back to Boston, Blackie at a party given
by his girlfriend Mary Wesley. Blackie is confronted by an
old hag who predicts two attempts will be made on
his life. When they happened, Blackie goes to see her,
only to be met by a very beautiful girl who
(12:14):
insists it was she who warned him the evening previous.
Along with this development comes word that Joe Hanson, lifelong
enemy of Blackie's, is in tom But Blackie's immediate concern
is the startlingly accurate predictions of his mysterious adviser. And
as we return to our story, Blackie is at home
reading up on Whitchcraft.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
How much longer are you going to strain your life
over that.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Book, Blackice? Until I find something that makes this which
case makes sense? I've gone through two books on witchcraft,
two books jammed with case histories of supernatural predictions which
came true. Now Here Here's once as recently as eighteen
fifty nine, a woman.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Mary thorprescous portold her husband's death two months before it happened.
He died as she predicted, and exactly the way she predicted.
He was struck by lightning while returning from a school
board meet. Oh that that's nonsense.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Sure, sure it couldn't have happened, only it did. See
who that is at the door when you marry?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
But suppose it's that Joe Hanson inspected Ferday called you about.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
If it is, say I'm not home, it won't be Hanson.
Mary Hanson wouldn't ring.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Well, okay, if you say, Sony, I wish you'd please give.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Up those books?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Not right now, Mary, Well.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
If that's the way you want it, all right, it's
all right on me.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
Oh, Inspector Faraday, Sure, Inspector, fairly, Blackie.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
In be it?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I told him about Joe Hanson, inspect your one. He's
got other things on his mind.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
What mine?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
No other inspector. Thanks for the tip on Hanson. I'll
take care of him as soon as I figure out
what's happening between me and a witch?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
What Blackie, are you baddy?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He's witch? Wacky, go scoofy and book silly Inspector.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
That's probably right. And by the way, Paraday, why aren't
you with the fire on Victoria Street. Wasn't anybody hit?
What fire?
Speaker 7 (13:44):
On what?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Victoria Street? There isn't any fire down there?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Never mind? What's this about Joe Hanson?
Speaker 7 (13:49):
You got my message he's out of jail because you
helped send him up right, I thought you ought to know.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I'll take care of him when I take care of
my other problem.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Paraday, say maybe we got some news about him downtown? Okay,
to use the phone.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Nice.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
I didn't say you could use it, but you didn't
say I couldn't either, Blackie.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Why isn't you and I always battled this way?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
The reason, thirdly is you and I.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
At quarters Rollins, Rollins, this is Friday, anything going on?
No inspect and not a thing, no news, and that
Johnson guy not to inspect that.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Everything's very quiet. It's a big fire down at Victoria Street.
But that's all.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Well, let the fire department worry about that.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
I quit your back rounds back well, no, noskey, that's
what I thought.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
What's this all about the fire department worrying? What about? No?
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Who cares something about a fire down of Victoria Street.
But I'm going home something miss you too, Blackie. I'm
gonna go home, get these shoes up Victoria Street. Mikey,
how don't you know about the fire and victorious?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I never buy.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I wouldn't get a sensible lasser any now.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
For once the inspector's right, he wouldn't get a sensible answer.
Ound at me, Mary, I'm going back to that house
on Lincoln Lane as a delivery man or something.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Well, I wish it all right to be careful with you.
Speaker 2 (14:57):

do you know that which business I told you about?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Which witch?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Never mind, it's all tied up with Joe Hanson anyhow,
Hanson A, Hanson, A, B and C. First of all,
he hired an old hag to tell me a couple
of things that were going to happen.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Go ahead. You aren't making sense, but that's nothing.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Well, he hired this old gallow pal, knowing I'd be
very curious and investigated, which left him free to do
what he wanted to around town.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Why should he worry about you?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
He had a reason, Saturday. Believe me, he knew that
as soon as I found out he was loose, I'd
be on his trail, and he wanted to keep me busy,
So we hired that old goon.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
You'd think Joe Hanson planned this and then made the
old names predictions come true.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's right. The engineered everything, the falling chandelier, the big
blue limousine, the fire on Victoria Street, the library with
sliding panels so one girl could disappear, and that granny
make an entrance. I know that all now, who told
you a little bird a little telephone? What? I tried
to get in that house on Lincoln Lane as a
delivery man, but it didn't work. But I had brought
along a telephone cut in out of it, and that
did I heard Hanson telling that old wood be Witch's
(19:33):
plans about what about a job he was pulling last night?
Only Hanson doesn't know that I listened in on him.
He thinks that Granny told me about it. And if
I know Hanson, he's going to try to get Granny
for that.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
So what where do we go from here?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Tifty Lincoln Lane? Thinking and find your way there by yourself?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (19:50):

not taking orders for you.
Speaker 3 (19:55):

want to get got him.

Speaker 6 (21:49):

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Can you can do anything as long as you keep
your mouth shut. I can rest my arm in this
window so so I'll be sure I don't miss it.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Go ahead, go ahead, Joey, go ahead. How do you
wait to see you?
Speaker 2 (21:59):

Speaker 2 (22:11):
You do any good? Sugar? You and your boyfriend a throat.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
It's you, it's a blanky.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It's right, it's me my gun, and I've got another friend,
inspected Paraday, who's coming around the house to Granby.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
If I'll never forget you, put this blanky lether.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Ooh boy, you haven't got much time to remember anything.
And Sugar, yeah, you tried to pretend you were the
young addition of Granny. Well, by the time you're out
of jail, you will be older than she is, So Blackie, at.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Least you grant me that there was nothing supernatural about
Granny and her predictions.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Well, I Marry, what interested in that?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Well you would much have said it. You told her
Inspector Faraday that Johnson arranged all those cunning little episodes
which Granny imagine in advance.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, I guess that's right, Mary mcgirl. Except for one thing,
of course, Paraday found it was Hanson's gun that knocked
off his ex buddy Pete. So there was no reason
for Hanson not to admit cooking up this witch thing
against me.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well he didn't he?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Oh, sure, hit? And it's everything except starting that fire
on Victorious Street.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Well he'd have no reason to deny that. Maybe he
didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Well in that case, how did Grannie know about it
in advance?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Oh? Oh, I I never thought about that. Well why
don't you ask her?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I tried to find her this morning, Mary, And maybe
she is a witch, and maybe she's just a frightened
old woman. But for all I know, she's disappeared into
thin air.
