Say you know how she was killed or who killed her?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
She was shot?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It looks like murder because when I found her just now,
the gun was much too far from my body for
this to be.

Suicide, said Doc.

Speaker 7 (02:13):
Okay, Blackie.
Speaker 8 (02:15):
Look across the streets.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Hey, it looks like a sitement of some kind. Mary,

Speaker 9 (02:19):

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I know not. Hey. The police car over there, the
one in front that's inspected Faraday.
Speaker 9 (02:27):

Speaker 3 (02:28):
It is, and that is for us. Come on, heay, driver,
keep the change, thanks, Come on Mary? Oh golly, do
we have two Blacky's? Is what I have to run downhill?
Speaker 9 (02:37):
That was a foolish answer.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
That's what a foolish question to serve. They tell me.
Speaker 8 (02:40):
Okay, Darling, there's inspected Faraday coming out.
Speaker 9 (02:43):
Of his car.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Good. We won't have to waste time finding him. Hello Faraday?
Was that what would you expect to turn up about
this time? It was you?
Speaker 9 (02:53):
Hello, Inspector Faraday? What are you doing in my neighborhood?
Speaker 10 (02:56):
Hello? Miss Wesley, what's murder doing in your neighborhood?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Murder.
Speaker 10 (03:00):
Yeah, in that house there, girl by the name of
Francis feeling.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Now, don't look at me, Farday. Mary and I were
at the Mercedes restaurant tonight, and I have a dozen
witnesses to prove it.
Speaker 10 (03:08):
The girl was killed about eight o'clock. I suppose you're
at the Mercedes then.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yes, we were.
Speaker 10 (03:13):
See anybody around here before you went to eat?
Speaker 9 (03:15):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I didn't either.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Wait, I met doctor Allen here. In fact, he went
right into this house. He was going in to see
a patient. He said, remember Mary, Hey, that's right doctor Allen. Eh,
doctor Lester Allen, a psychiatrist.
Speaker 10 (03:30):
I think I'll go over and have a talk with him.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Farday, You don't think.
Speaker 10 (03:32):
I do, think, Blankie, that's something you don't give me
credit for. That's something that's gonna get you in trouble someday.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Someday.
Speaker 10 (03:39):
I'll see you later, Blankie, much later, I hope.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
But Friday, you want going to pin this on doctor
Allan and I are you not? Unless you did it? Well,
he didn't. I've known him for years.
Speaker 10 (03:48):
And maybe that's why he did it. Knowing you has
made him tired of going straight. I like that do
you inspect him? Well, doctor Allan's a nice guy. If
you're going to see him, I'm going with you. How
do you like that, doctor Allan? I'd like to ask
(04:14):
you a few questions.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Of course, Inspector Faraday give him routine answers. Doctor he
won another.
Speaker 10 (04:18):
Difference, Blankie, Doctor Allen, when was the last time you
saw Francis feeling alive?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
This afternoon here in my office? Is that the last
time you saw her alive?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I told her on the phone. Later she called me,
told me she was terribly upset about what well. She
came to see me this afternoon for treatment. She was
suffering from a neurosis. She was afraid she was going
to kill us.
Speaker 10 (04:39):
Never mind about that neurosis stuff. I have to miss.
Feeling called this evening. What did you do?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I did this?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
She asked?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I went to see.
Speaker 10 (04:47):
Her, so you admit you were there, do you well?
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Of course I do. In fact, Blackie saw me going
in to see her.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
That's why you're being questioned. Doctor. I had to open
my big mouth.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
Well shot at Blankie, doctor Allen, you mean to tell
me you went to the Feeling Home. I'm is feeling
dead and left without calling the police without called.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Look here, inspect, I did call the police.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
You call the police?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Nah?
Speaker 10 (05:06):
Please, doctor, don't give me.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
That I did.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I talked to a sergeant Mulvaney Moultveney.
Speaker 10 (05:11):
There's no such sergeant at headquarters, and no call ever
came into headquarters. I checked that.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I don't understand. This is absolutely fantastic, is it?
Speaker 10 (05:19):
If you talk to the police. Why weren't you at
the scene of the murder when the police arrived.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Why because the sergeant Mulvenis said, he you me and
it will be all right if I waited for the
police right here in my office.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Ah, you don't tell very good lies, doctor Allen. And
you don't tell him well either. Come on, come on right?
Did you tell her I didn't kill her? I never
saw her before this afternoon? Can you prove that, doctor, Well,
I don't know. I might my secretary, Miss Glenchy, may
I get her in here, lanky, you never saw France's
feeling before this afternoon?
Speaker 5 (05:46):
No, my appointments prove it?
Speaker 10 (05:48):
All right, doctor, It isn't gonna matter much. But I
hope you're telling the truth for a change.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
She is.
Speaker 10 (05:53):
Thanks Miggy and miss Glenn. When did Frances Fielding first
have an appointment.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
With doctor Allen about eight months ago?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Eight months, miss Glynn?
Speaker 10 (06:01):
Eight months?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I'm not true, Inspector, mis Glynn. What's the matter with you?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You know I never saw that girl until she walked
into my office this afternoon.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Oh, I'm awfully sorry, Doctor Allan. Did I say something wrong?
Speaker 10 (06:10):
You said something right, Miss Glenn.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Look here, Inspector, this whole thing is absolute. Why my
appointment book shows she was here for the first.
Speaker 10 (06:17):
Time today, It shows you saw for the first time
eight months ago, or Miss Glenn wouldn't say.
Speaker 8 (06:21):
So, I'm afraid it does.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
Doctor.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Here's my book. See for yourself.
Speaker 10 (06:24):
I'll take that book. You want to see a phone doctor?
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Hello, doctor Lester Allen. Yes, can you talk? No, I
can't talk to anyone. Now call me back in a
few minutes.
Speaker 11 (06:35):
Okay, I'll go back in a very few minutes.
Speaker 10 (06:37):
Now, listen, inspect you listen, doctor, you're not in a
position to do much talking. You look like a murder's
aspect to me.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Ardy, you're all wrong.
Speaker 10 (06:44):
Cuiet, Blankie, I'm all right. The doctor's lying about the
phone call to the police and about when he first met.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
The dead girl.
Speaker 10 (06:52):
And I think that makes it look like maybe.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
He killeder motive Faraday motive. What was his motive?
Speaker 10 (06:57):
I'll find one.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Don't worry.
Speaker 10 (06:59):
Uh, don't leave town, Doctor Allan. I may want you
to come down and see me sometime. Come on, Blackie,
let's go.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Wait, Blackie, I want to talk to you, all right,
see you later.
Speaker 10 (07:08):
I'm warning you, Blackie, you stay out of this.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Tell that to someone who hasn't solved most of your.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Cases for you, Miss Glen show inspector Faraday.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
The way out, will you?
Speaker 9 (07:15):
Of course?
Speaker 8 (07:16):
Right this way, inspected.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Doctor. I'm awfully sorry in a way I got you
into this.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I'm not blaming you, Blackie. I understand all you did
was say you saw me at miss Fielding's house. What
I don't Oh excuse me?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Hello, hello, doctor Allan.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Can you talk now?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
This is Roger Fielding, Francis Fielding's brother.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Oh yes, well just a minute.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
What's at doctor Bay?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
This is Francis Fielding's brother.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Should I talk to him?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yes, but let me listen to is then extension I
can use yes, right down on that table, go ahead
and talking him now?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yes, mister Fielding?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
U what is it?
Speaker 11 (07:57):
You know what it is, Doc, it's about what you
did to.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
My sister, what I did to her.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
That's right, she's dead.
Speaker 11 (08:04):
Don't try to tell me you didn't kill her.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
What makes you think I did?
Speaker 11 (08:07):
Her little diary told me so. Just let me read
you what it says here on one of the pages
kept for a year, and you're on every page. This
is seven months ago. It says I love Lester So,
and he says he loves me. But I know one
of these days he'll leave me to go back to
his wife. I envy Missus Allen So, but I won't
(08:28):
let him go. I just won't let him go.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Ook. Hey, I didn't even know you this, doc.
Speaker 11 (08:33):
This is even better. Here's what it says on a
page of a diary about a month ago. She wrote,
Lester's throwing me over. I just know he is, and
if he does, I'll go to missus Allan with the truth.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'll tell her everything. Listen, doc, what.
Speaker 11 (08:49):
I don't know why you killed my sister, but I
got a rough idea. She's sort of asked for it,
didn't she look you look, Doc? Maybe Sis Godwo was
coming to her. But the CoP's got this diary coming
to them.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Unless you want it, And that's a slack bail?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Is that one of his?
Speaker 11 (09:08):
I think I'm doing a favorite. Gave me a job's
hill at ten tomorrow night, and I kind of I
like to do favorite.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Hello, Hello, it's no use doctor, you hung up, lucky.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
What do you'll think?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well already broke down your story about calling the police
and not meeting the dead girl until this afternoon, and
said all he needed to arrest you was a motive.
What I just heard on the phone would pass as
a motive.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
All right, Blacky, you know I had nothing to do
with this.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
No well, doctor, allan, either this is first class frame
up or you're a third degree liar.
Speaker 12 (09:54):
Golly blakie the feeling whom is spooking up upstairs?
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Do we you have to stay down here in the
basement much longer?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Well? I mean, so we find telephone wires that look
as if they'd been tampered with.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
What will that prove?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Black Well? Doctor? When you made your call to the police,
you got through the operator, all right, didn't you? Yes,
But before you got the police there was a long
pause and.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yes, quite wrong. Then it's Sargeantmlvini.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Answered, But there's no such person. On the force. You
didn't talk to the police, but maybe to someone here
in the basement.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
Micky, do you want wires that look as if they'd
been cut.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Or wires with tape on them, Mary, to cover a
place where they've been scraped.
Speaker 9 (10:29):
Here are two of them.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It was what we want, command doctor.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
Aren't you glad you brought me?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
These are the wires we want? All right? If they've
been tamped easily, just look at them. The wires have
been separating, the insulation scraped off, then the bare wires
taped together again.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
Does this really prove the doctor's story about talking to
a sergeant Mlvini?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Here's Mary, here's why. Whoever tricked the doctor into thinking
he was talking to the police was down here. When
the doctor dial the operator.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
I didn't get the operator, then that was legitimate.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh yes, But after you got the operator, it was
a long pause. You said, Yester, what.
Speaker 9 (11:02):
Blackie, Doctor Allan was cut off during that pause.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's right, Mary. He was the man down here who
took over his call at the police, probably asked us
some foolish questions, then hung up on him.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
Then the man switched the doctor back in and talked
to him.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Exactly and you, doctor Allan, thought you were talking to
the police. Well, all the time you were talking to
the man down here.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
Who was that man?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Though Francis feelings killer?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Probably I think I feel better already. You believe me, now,
don't you?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I think so. But we'll never convince Faraday here innocence
if he sees the dead girl's diary.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I've got to keep that meeting with a brother to night.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yes, But in the meantime we'd better work in another angle. What, Blackie,
the reason for the girl's death?
Speaker 5 (11:41):
What would be a good reason?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh? Money, if it's enough, but enough for not. If
we could find she carried insurance payable to someone who
had a chance to kill her, that would be enough
for me.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
Now back to Boston, Blackie. Psychiatrist Lester Allen receives a
phone call from his new patient, Francis fielding to come
to her home at once. He goes there, finds her murder,
and calls police. He is told to go back to
(12:27):
his office. Inspector Faraday finds no record of Alan's call
and believes him Guildy. As we return to our story, Boston, Blackie,
who is with Mary and doctor Allen, calls Faraday in
search of a motive for the girl's.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Murder, and.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Maybe this work. At least it's worth a try. Hello Faraday,
this is Blackie. Do you want the usual Faraday to
give you a little help? I'd next week, Friday, this week.
I want to give you an angle on the Fielding murder.
I think it's insurance, Blackie.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
I don't know how I'd get along without you.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I do not very well.
Speaker 10 (13:10):
You know, it's amazing that you'd think of insurance.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
At a time like this. What's amazing about it? Faraday?
If you were any kind of a cop, you'd have
thought about it long ago.
Speaker 10 (13:17):
I thought of it last night.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Is that long enough ago for him?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, Faraday, you're improving. Why did you find out money
of business? What are you doing? Faraday? Faking? I'll bet
you don't know a thing about the Fielding girls insurance?
Bet you never even thought of it.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
Oh, I didn't think of it. When a copy of
the policy is right here on.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
My desk, I don't believe it. Good huh?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
All right, listen to this.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
She had an.
Speaker 10 (13:41):
Accident policy with five thousand dollars for accidental death. She
took it out two years ago and collected on it
five months ago for a prognau. And now all the
money from the policy goes to where grandmother in Mexico City.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Oh, her grandmother huh yeah.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
And if you think her grandmother killed her, think again,
because she's a ninety seven year old invalid and hasn't
been out of Mexico City.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
In thirty years.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
Wold, wise guy, don't bother me with your bright ideas.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Barday.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
If you hang up on your blanket.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You sure did marry Was he good for insurance? No?
Speaker 8 (14:18):
Oh jeez?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
So now what now? Mary? You're going home to see
a bed about some sleep and doctor Allen and I
are going to Dob's Hill to see a man about
a diary. There's his car k talked on the other
side of the road. Now you stay down there in
(14:42):
the back of your car.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
You're sure it's safe for you to go over and
talk to him.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You sure this fellow's never seen you.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
He's never seen me, at least I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Well, I better go on over and talk to him
before he gets suspicious. I'll try and sound as much
like you as I can. Sit tight here I go
like good luck. Rota fielding.
Speaker 11 (15:14):
Yeah, Doctor Allen, Yes, how I had I I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Let me see that diary.
Speaker 11 (15:22):
Sure, yeah, this is the original. Thanks mm, don't bother
trying to run off with it. I've got photostadded companies, Kidney,
I got you.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I want you to notice something die. She wrote in
her diary every day, every single day. Yes, so I see,
And every day, every single day she wrote about Doc Allen.
Speaker 11 (15:49):
Nice diary, incriminating, pretty valuable to me. It's her handwriting,
and she kept it about a year. Hold it wanna
compare writing with a note she sent me asking for
an appointment here?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
All right? Yeah she wrote the diary on the right,
Sure she did.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Now I'm not asking much.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Doc, only a little now about it? A little more
after that?
Speaker 11 (16:18):
Oh, whenever I get a little pushed for cash, then
either you come across with the money like a nice guy.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Or I take this diary of the cops? What for?
What for? It gives you a pretty good reason for
killing it? Yes it does for me. There's only one
thing wrong with it. What's that? It's a phony? A phony?
Speaker 11 (16:39):
And well, let me tell you something. What is a doc?
You're a phony?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Two?
Speaker 11 (16:45):
The next time, tell Doc Allen, he'd better show in person.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Mister Boston Blackie, I'm still sorry.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I couldn't fool that gy. Doctor was a.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Nice trib bluggy. Let's go into my office. Maybe we
can think of something else.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
We've got to or Inspector Faraday will come running after
you with that baggy. I'm waiting, hello Faraday.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Good evening, Inspector.
Speaker 10 (17:16):
I'm sure glad to see you. Doctor. I was afraid
you'd skipped tom.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
No, all I did was drive out.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
For a little air Faraday after that conversation with you
last night, he needed bluggy.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
Doctor Allan, I'm taking you to headquarters for questioning Fad.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
You can't do that. The doctor knows less about that
girl's death than you do. If that's possible, I suppose
you know all about it, huh. I know you need
a motive before you can really pin this on the doctor.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
Give me time, I'll find one.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I'll say, good time. I've already found it. A diary
written by Francis Fielding and containing plenty of motive for murder.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Wharecky.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Don't get excited, either of you. The diary is a phony.
Speaker 10 (17:51):
A phony?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
How do you know, Luckie?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
You know that diary is a counterfeit.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
How how very simple, doctor Faraday. Do you remember the
accident policy the Fielding girl?
Speaker 10 (18:00):
And sure she collected on it too, for a broken
right arm about well it was exactly five months ago.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Well guess what was in miss Fielding's diary five months ago?
Speaker 10 (18:11):
Blank pages? For arm was broken.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
The pages weren't blank, Faraday, Her mind was about that
broken right arm. The day to day account continued six
months ago, just as if her arm was perfectly all right.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
But that does prove the diary was account of it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
It was probably written just recently, perhaps in the last
few weeks.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
That's exactly a doctor. She was so anxious to phoney
up for a long time love affair and a diary
she forgot she couldn't write six months ago.
Speaker 10 (18:34):
All right, Blankie, So that diary was phony. So the
diary was a frame. I suppose you think everything else
about this case is a frame against the doctor too, Yes,
who framed him?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I think the girl did it and.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Killed herself to do it. That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
That's too good, Faraday. I can't figure out that part
at all. But she was part of a frame against
the doctor that much. I do know.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
Look, when you quit trying to do my thinking for me,
somebody has to.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
You, don't I don't.
Speaker 10 (18:59):
Huh? Well, Doctor Allan here says he met the Fielding
girl for the first time yesterday, but his own appointment
book shows he's been seeing.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Her for eight months. Explain that I can't understand it.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I can.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
You are lying, just as you were lying when you
said you call the police.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
He thought he did call them? Faraday?
Speaker 10 (19:13):
What do you mean sort he did?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Whoever killed miss Fielding tapped the phone in her house
and pretended to be the police.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Eh, how do you know?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I did a very strange thing for me, Faraday? I
investigated and look, have you ever heard of Roger Fielding?
Speaker 10 (19:30):
Roger Fielding? Roger Feeling sounds familiar?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
How fa many?
Speaker 10 (19:35):
I think he was arrested once? He served time too?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
What for?
Speaker 10 (19:39):
I don't know what I can find out.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Well, you find out why Roger Feeling was arrested, and
if it's for what I hope it is, maybe I'll
find out why you can arrest them again?
Speaker 9 (19:57):
We are you looking up on the phone?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Lookky, Glenn mar doctor's secretary. Well Faraday found out that
Roger Fielding used to work for the telephone company went
to jail for stealing payphone collections. I knew he was
responsible for this frame up as soon as he flashed
the phony diary, but I wanted to make sure.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Oh I see.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
And when you found out he'd worked for the phone
company at one time, you figured he you how to
tap the phone in his sister's house, right.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Let me see?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
The only thing I have to prove now is that
Catherine Glenn was working with Fielding, And of course she
phoned up doctor Allen's appointment book. Ah, here's the.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Number, Uh, Darling, where's doctor Allen.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Now at headquarters? Poor guy Saturday wouldn't wait?
Speaker 9 (20:41):
What are you gonna say to miss Glenn?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I'm going to pretend I'm Roger Fielding. See what she says?
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Oh again, happy pretending?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Thanks? Hello, Okay, this is Roger Roger who you don't know?
Speaker 12 (20:58):
I think I do.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Look, I have to see it. What about just to
check on a few things? That is, you ought to know.
Speaker 12 (21:08):
I don't know who you are, but I don't you do, no,
unless you couldn't be Boston Blackie by any chance?
Speaker 9 (21:17):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I think she knew who I was. I'm not very
good at fooling people tonight.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
And you never were very good at fooling me.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I was never trying to pend a murder on you.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
I have never given you the chance, though.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Well feeling it, miss Glenn, have and I'm gonna take
it too. There's just one more.
Speaker 12 (21:32):
Thing I can do, Roger, Miss kay Grinn.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Look, I'm scared. I don't want to tell you over
the phone. I'd better wait till I see you.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
I'll tell you later, all right, Can you come right away?
Speaker 8 (22:03):
We'll hurry before it's too late. Oh, come in, Roger.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
What's okay? What's the trouble?
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Wait till I lock the door?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
And a jumpy kid? What's the matter?
Speaker 8 (22:21):
Nothing? I just want to talk to you. What about
about how things are going?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
You know the answer to that's yourself great?
Speaker 8 (22:27):
But I'm upset? Why because of Francis?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Why be upset about her?
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Because Roger Whiting't you tell me you were going to
kill her? That's what I'm really upset about.
Speaker 11 (22:40):
Oh well, I didn't see any point in telling you
about that, oh Francis, either.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
In fact, it was sort of a spur of the
moment thing.
Speaker 11 (22:49):
I double crossed Francis and never even dreamed she'd be murdered.
When she first came along with that plan. I thought
it would make a better frame against the doctor.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
A better one. What was wrong with your first idea?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Nothing?
Speaker 11 (23:01):
I suppose we could have shaken him down for plenty
with Francis's diary and the appointment book you fixed up.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Then why did you have to kill Francis?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Two reasons?
Speaker 11 (23:08):
It put the doc in a worse spot, and we
only have to split two ways instead of three.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
So I killed it.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Well, I want nothing to do with murder. I'm going
to the police.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Oh you're not.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I killed Francis to make the frame against the doctor Goodwin.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I could kill you and make a.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
Poet, won't.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You call the wrong man? I got here first, looks
like he was going to choke me. Didn't come out
now Faturday dangers over very funny. I had to slip
up behind feeling and slug him right to choke this plenty.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
Yeah, I know I heard plenty before you clipped him.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I guess you did it that Friturday. You know, I
just couldn't get along without you. What would I do?
For laughs?
Speaker 10 (23:59):
You'd look at him? Well, I gotta revive this guy,
and I don't get him down to headquarters.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
I suppose I'm going to headquarters.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Too, Yes, Miss Glenn, but I don't think you will
get what feeling is going to get. They did a
good job working with me after Francis was killed. It
was your cooperation that helped us break this case.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
I did my best, Blackie. I had to.
Speaker 12 (24:22):
When I first got into this, there was no talk
about killing Francis Fielding. I I'm glad doctor Allen's name
is clear.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Really I am.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I think the police will believe you, Miss Glenn oh Well,
for his frame up against Leicester Allen m D. Fielding's
name from now on is m U D. The
Operator Operator, get me the police.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Twenty second Precinct.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Sergeant Morveny speaking Rogan. Moveiny, This is doctor Lester Allen.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Doc.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Well, I'm in a house at eleven ten Dale Avenue.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
There's been a murder.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Yeah, murder.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well, don't touch anything, no move anything. We'll be right over.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
All right, saug who's the victim?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Doctor?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Victim?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
More was a patient of mine. It was Francis Fielding.
I'm a psychiatrist.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Say you know how she was killed or who killed her?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
She was shot?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It looks like murder because when I found her just now,
the gun was much too far from my body for
this to be.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Suicide, said Doc.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Will be right over, Uh, Sergeant, I wonder, yeah, Doc,
oh nothing, I suppose it's much to a regular I
think I.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Know what you're getting at, Doc. You know a couple
of newspaper men will come along with us.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
You don't want the publicity, no, frankly, I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, I tell you what, doctor Ellen, I know who
you are. All right, go back to your office and
stay there. We'll be up to talk to you later.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Might have to ask you a few questions, of course, Sergeant.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I'm sure I can answer them to your complete satisfaction.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
And now meet Dick Calmer as Boston Blackie. Enemy to
those who make him an enemy, friend to those who
have no friend.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
He's your apartment, Mary, hold a maid, a driver, young
lady's getting out here, but I'm going on.
Speaker 7 (02:13):
Okay, Blackie.
Speaker 8 (02:15):
Look across the streets.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Hey, it looks like a sitement of some kind. Mary,
what it is?
Speaker 9 (02:19):
It is not for us?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I know not. Hey. The police car over there, the
one in front that's inspected Faraday.
Speaker 9 (02:27):
Oh, now I know what kind of excitement.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It is, and that is for us. Come on, heay, driver,
keep the change, thanks, Come on Mary? Oh golly, do
we have two Blacky's? Is what I have to run downhill?
Speaker 9 (02:37):
That was a foolish answer.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
That's what a foolish question to serve. They tell me.
Speaker 8 (02:40):
Okay, Darling, there's inspected Faraday coming out.
Speaker 9 (02:43):
Of his car.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Good. We won't have to waste time finding him. Hello Faraday?
Was that what would you expect to turn up about
this time? It was you?
Speaker 9 (02:53):
Hello, Inspector Faraday? What are you doing in my neighborhood?
Speaker 10 (02:56):
Hello? Miss Wesley, what's murder doing in your neighborhood?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Murder.
Speaker 10 (03:00):
Yeah, in that house there, girl by the name of
Francis feeling.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Now, don't look at me, Farday. Mary and I were
at the Mercedes restaurant tonight, and I have a dozen
witnesses to prove it.
Speaker 10 (03:08):
The girl was killed about eight o'clock. I suppose you're
at the Mercedes then.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yes, we were.
Speaker 10 (03:13):
See anybody around here before you went to eat?
Speaker 9 (03:15):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I didn't either.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Wait, I met doctor Allen here. In fact, he went
right into this house. He was going in to see
a patient. He said, remember Mary, Hey, that's right doctor Allen. Eh,
doctor Lester Allen, a psychiatrist.
Speaker 10 (03:30):
I think I'll go over and have a talk with him.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Farday, You don't think.
Speaker 10 (03:32):
I do, think, Blankie, that's something you don't give me
credit for. That's something that's gonna get you in trouble someday.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Someday.
Speaker 10 (03:39):
I'll see you later, Blankie, much later, I hope.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
But Friday, you want going to pin this on doctor
Allan and I are you not? Unless you did it? Well,
he didn't. I've known him for years.
Speaker 10 (03:48):
And maybe that's why he did it. Knowing you has
made him tired of going straight. I like that do
you inspect him? Well, doctor Allan's a nice guy. If
you're going to see him, I'm going with you. How
do you like that, doctor Allan? I'd like to ask
(04:14):
you a few questions.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Of course, Inspector Faraday give him routine answers. Doctor he
won another.
Speaker 10 (04:18):
Difference, Blankie, Doctor Allen, when was the last time you
saw Francis feeling alive?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
This afternoon here in my office? Is that the last
time you saw her alive?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I told her on the phone. Later she called me,
told me she was terribly upset about what well. She
came to see me this afternoon for treatment. She was
suffering from a neurosis. She was afraid she was going
to kill us.
Speaker 10 (04:39):
Never mind about that neurosis stuff. I have to miss.
Feeling called this evening. What did you do?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I did this?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
She asked?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
I went to see.
Speaker 10 (04:47):
Her, so you admit you were there, do you well?
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Of course I do. In fact, Blackie saw me going
in to see her.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
That's why you're being questioned. Doctor. I had to open
my big mouth.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
Well shot at Blankie, doctor Allen, you mean to tell
me you went to the Feeling Home. I'm is feeling
dead and left without calling the police without called.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Look here, inspect, I did call the police.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
You call the police?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Nah?
Speaker 10 (05:06):
Please, doctor, don't give me.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
That I did.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I talked to a sergeant Mulvaney Moultveney.
Speaker 10 (05:11):
There's no such sergeant at headquarters, and no call ever
came into headquarters. I checked that.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I don't understand. This is absolutely fantastic, is it?
Speaker 10 (05:19):
If you talk to the police. Why weren't you at
the scene of the murder when the police arrived.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Why because the sergeant Mulvenis said, he you me and
it will be all right if I waited for the
police right here in my office.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Ah, you don't tell very good lies, doctor Allen. And
you don't tell him well either. Come on, come on right?
Did you tell her I didn't kill her? I never
saw her before this afternoon? Can you prove that, doctor, Well,
I don't know. I might my secretary, Miss Glenchy, may
I get her in here, lanky, you never saw France's
feeling before this afternoon?
Speaker 5 (05:46):
No, my appointments prove it?
Speaker 10 (05:48):
All right, doctor, It isn't gonna matter much. But I
hope you're telling the truth for a change.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
She is.
Speaker 10 (05:53):
Thanks Miggy and miss Glenn. When did Frances Fielding first
have an appointment.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
With doctor Allen about eight months ago?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Eight months, miss Glynn?
Speaker 10 (06:01):
Eight months?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I'm not true, Inspector, mis Glynn. What's the matter with you?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You know I never saw that girl until she walked
into my office this afternoon.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
Oh, I'm awfully sorry, Doctor Allan. Did I say something wrong?
Speaker 10 (06:10):
You said something right, Miss Glenn.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Look here, Inspector, this whole thing is absolute. Why my
appointment book shows she was here for the first.
Speaker 10 (06:17):
Time today, It shows you saw for the first time
eight months ago, or Miss Glenn wouldn't say.
Speaker 8 (06:21):
So, I'm afraid it does.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
Doctor.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Here's my book. See for yourself.
Speaker 10 (06:24):
I'll take that book. You want to see a phone doctor?
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Hello, doctor Lester Allen. Yes, can you talk? No, I
can't talk to anyone. Now call me back in a
few minutes.
Speaker 11 (06:35):
Okay, I'll go back in a very few minutes.
Speaker 10 (06:37):
Now, listen, inspect you listen, doctor, you're not in a
position to do much talking. You look like a murder's
aspect to me.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Ardy, you're all wrong.
Speaker 10 (06:44):
Cuiet, Blankie, I'm all right. The doctor's lying about the
phone call to the police and about when he first met.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
The dead girl.
Speaker 10 (06:52):
And I think that makes it look like maybe.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
He killeder motive Faraday motive. What was his motive?
Speaker 10 (06:57):
I'll find one.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Don't worry.
Speaker 10 (06:59):
Uh, don't leave town, Doctor Allan. I may want you
to come down and see me sometime. Come on, Blackie,
let's go.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Wait, Blackie, I want to talk to you, all right,
see you later.
Speaker 10 (07:08):
I'm warning you, Blackie, you stay out of this.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Tell that to someone who hasn't solved most of your.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Cases for you, Miss Glen show inspector Faraday.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
The way out, will you?
Speaker 9 (07:15):
Of course?
Speaker 8 (07:16):
Right this way, inspected.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Doctor. I'm awfully sorry in a way I got you
into this.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I'm not blaming you, Blackie. I understand all you did
was say you saw me at miss Fielding's house. What
I don't Oh excuse me?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Hello, hello, doctor Allan.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Can you talk now?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
This is Roger Fielding, Francis Fielding's brother.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Oh yes, well just a minute.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
What's at doctor Bay?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
This is Francis Fielding's brother.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Should I talk to him?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yes, but let me listen to is then extension I
can use yes, right down on that table, go ahead
and talking him now?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yes, mister Fielding?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
U what is it?
Speaker 11 (07:57):
You know what it is, Doc, it's about what you
did to.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
My sister, what I did to her.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
That's right, she's dead.
Speaker 11 (08:04):
Don't try to tell me you didn't kill her.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
What makes you think I did?
Speaker 11 (08:07):
Her little diary told me so. Just let me read
you what it says here on one of the pages
kept for a year, and you're on every page. This
is seven months ago. It says I love Lester So,
and he says he loves me. But I know one
of these days he'll leave me to go back to
his wife. I envy Missus Allen So, but I won't
(08:28):
let him go. I just won't let him go.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Ook. Hey, I didn't even know you this, doc.
Speaker 11 (08:33):
This is even better. Here's what it says on a
page of a diary about a month ago. She wrote,
Lester's throwing me over. I just know he is, and
if he does, I'll go to missus Allan with the truth.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'll tell her everything. Listen, doc, what.
Speaker 11 (08:49):
I don't know why you killed my sister, but I
got a rough idea. She's sort of asked for it,
didn't she look you look, Doc? Maybe Sis Godwo was
coming to her. But the CoP's got this diary coming
to them.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Unless you want it, And that's a slack bail?
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Is that one of his?
Speaker 11 (09:08):
I think I'm doing a favorite. Gave me a job's
hill at ten tomorrow night, and I kind of I
like to do favorite.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Hello, Hello, it's no use doctor, you hung up, lucky.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
What do you'll think?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well already broke down your story about calling the police
and not meeting the dead girl until this afternoon, and
said all he needed to arrest you was a motive.
What I just heard on the phone would pass as
a motive.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
All right, Blacky, you know I had nothing to do
with this.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
No well, doctor, allan, either this is first class frame
up or you're a third degree liar.
Speaker 12 (09:54):
Golly blakie the feeling whom is spooking up upstairs?
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Do we you have to stay down here in the
basement much longer?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Well? I mean, so we find telephone wires that look
as if they'd been tampered with.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
What will that prove?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Black Well? Doctor? When you made your call to the police,
you got through the operator, all right, didn't you? Yes,
But before you got the police there was a long
pause and.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yes, quite wrong. Then it's Sargeantmlvini.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Answered, But there's no such person. On the force. You
didn't talk to the police, but maybe to someone here
in the basement.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
Micky, do you want wires that look as if they'd
been cut.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Or wires with tape on them, Mary, to cover a
place where they've been scraped.
Speaker 9 (10:29):
Here are two of them.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It was what we want, command doctor.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
Aren't you glad you brought me?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
These are the wires we want? All right? If they've
been tamped easily, just look at them. The wires have
been separating, the insulation scraped off, then the bare wires
taped together again.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
Does this really prove the doctor's story about talking to
a sergeant Mlvini?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Here's Mary, here's why. Whoever tricked the doctor into thinking
he was talking to the police was down here. When
the doctor dial the operator.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
I didn't get the operator, then that was legitimate.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh yes, But after you got the operator, it was
a long pause. You said, Yester, what.
Speaker 9 (11:02):
Blackie, Doctor Allan was cut off during that pause.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's right, Mary. He was the man down here who
took over his call at the police, probably asked us
some foolish questions, then hung up on him.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
Then the man switched the doctor back in and talked
to him.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Exactly and you, doctor Allan, thought you were talking to
the police. Well, all the time you were talking to
the man down here.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
Who was that man?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Though Francis feelings killer?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Probably I think I feel better already. You believe me, now,
don't you?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I think so. But we'll never convince Faraday here innocence
if he sees the dead girl's diary.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I've got to keep that meeting with a brother to night.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yes, But in the meantime we'd better work in another angle. What, Blackie,
the reason for the girl's death?
Speaker 5 (11:41):
What would be a good reason?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh? Money, if it's enough, but enough for not. If
we could find she carried insurance payable to someone who
had a chance to kill her, that would be enough
for me.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
Now back to Boston, Blackie. Psychiatrist Lester Allen receives a
phone call from his new patient, Francis fielding to come
to her home at once. He goes there, finds her murder,
and calls police. He is told to go back to
(12:27):
his office. Inspector Faraday finds no record of Alan's call
and believes him Guildy. As we return to our story, Boston, Blackie,
who is with Mary and doctor Allen, calls Faraday in
search of a motive for the girl's.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Murder, and.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Maybe this work. At least it's worth a try. Hello Faraday,
this is Blackie. Do you want the usual Faraday to
give you a little help? I'd next week, Friday, this week.
I want to give you an angle on the Fielding murder.
I think it's insurance, Blackie.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
I don't know how I'd get along without you.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I do not very well.
Speaker 10 (13:10):
You know, it's amazing that you'd think of insurance.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
At a time like this. What's amazing about it? Faraday?
If you were any kind of a cop, you'd have
thought about it long ago.
Speaker 10 (13:17):
I thought of it last night.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Is that long enough ago for him?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, Faraday, you're improving. Why did you find out money
of business? What are you doing? Faraday? Faking? I'll bet
you don't know a thing about the Fielding girls insurance?
Bet you never even thought of it.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
Oh, I didn't think of it. When a copy of
the policy is right here on.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
My desk, I don't believe it. Good huh?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
All right, listen to this.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
She had an.
Speaker 10 (13:41):
Accident policy with five thousand dollars for accidental death. She
took it out two years ago and collected on it
five months ago for a prognau. And now all the
money from the policy goes to where grandmother in Mexico City.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Oh, her grandmother huh yeah.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
And if you think her grandmother killed her, think again,
because she's a ninety seven year old invalid and hasn't
been out of Mexico City.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
In thirty years.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
Wold, wise guy, don't bother me with your bright ideas.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Barday.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
If you hang up on your blanket.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You sure did marry Was he good for insurance? No?
Speaker 8 (14:18):
Oh jeez?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
So now what now? Mary? You're going home to see
a bed about some sleep and doctor Allen and I
are going to Dob's Hill to see a man about
a diary. There's his car k talked on the other
side of the road. Now you stay down there in
(14:42):
the back of your car.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
You're sure it's safe for you to go over and
talk to him.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You sure this fellow's never seen you.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
He's never seen me, at least I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Well, I better go on over and talk to him
before he gets suspicious. I'll try and sound as much
like you as I can. Sit tight here I go
like good luck. Rota fielding.
Speaker 11 (15:14):
Yeah, Doctor Allen, Yes, how I had I I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Let me see that diary.
Speaker 11 (15:22):
Sure, yeah, this is the original. Thanks mm, don't bother
trying to run off with it. I've got photostadded companies, Kidney,
I got you.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I want you to notice something die. She wrote in
her diary every day, every single day. Yes, so I see,
And every day, every single day she wrote about Doc Allen.
Speaker 11 (15:49):
Nice diary, incriminating, pretty valuable to me. It's her handwriting,
and she kept it about a year. Hold it wanna
compare writing with a note she sent me asking for
an appointment here?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
All right? Yeah she wrote the diary on the right,
Sure she did.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Now I'm not asking much.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Doc, only a little now about it? A little more
after that?
Speaker 11 (16:18):
Oh, whenever I get a little pushed for cash, then
either you come across with the money like a nice guy.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Or I take this diary of the cops? What for?
What for? It gives you a pretty good reason for
killing it? Yes it does for me. There's only one
thing wrong with it. What's that? It's a phony? A phony?
Speaker 11 (16:39):
And well, let me tell you something. What is a doc?
You're a phony?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Two?
Speaker 11 (16:45):
The next time, tell Doc Allen, he'd better show in person.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Mister Boston Blackie, I'm still sorry.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I couldn't fool that gy. Doctor was a.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Nice trib bluggy. Let's go into my office. Maybe we
can think of something else.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
We've got to or Inspector Faraday will come running after
you with that baggy. I'm waiting, hello Faraday.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Good evening, Inspector.
Speaker 10 (17:16):
I'm sure glad to see you. Doctor. I was afraid
you'd skipped tom.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
No, all I did was drive out.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
For a little air Faraday after that conversation with you
last night, he needed bluggy.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
Doctor Allan, I'm taking you to headquarters for questioning Fad.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
You can't do that. The doctor knows less about that
girl's death than you do. If that's possible, I suppose
you know all about it, huh. I know you need
a motive before you can really pin this on the doctor.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
Give me time, I'll find one.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I'll say, good time. I've already found it. A diary
written by Francis Fielding and containing plenty of motive for murder.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Wharecky.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Don't get excited, either of you. The diary is a phony.
Speaker 10 (17:51):
A phony?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
How do you know, Luckie?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
You know that diary is a counterfeit.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
How how very simple, doctor Faraday. Do you remember the
accident policy the Fielding girl?
Speaker 10 (18:00):
And sure she collected on it too, for a broken
right arm about well it was exactly five months ago.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Well guess what was in miss Fielding's diary five months ago?
Speaker 10 (18:11):
Blank pages? For arm was broken.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
The pages weren't blank, Faraday, Her mind was about that
broken right arm. The day to day account continued six
months ago, just as if her arm was perfectly all right.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
But that does prove the diary was account of it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
It was probably written just recently, perhaps in the last
few weeks.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
That's exactly a doctor. She was so anxious to phoney
up for a long time love affair and a diary
she forgot she couldn't write six months ago.
Speaker 10 (18:34):
All right, Blankie, So that diary was phony. So the
diary was a frame. I suppose you think everything else
about this case is a frame against the doctor too, Yes,
who framed him?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I think the girl did it and.
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Killed herself to do it. That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
That's too good, Faraday. I can't figure out that part
at all. But she was part of a frame against
the doctor that much. I do know.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
Look, when you quit trying to do my thinking for me,
somebody has to.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
You, don't I don't.
Speaker 10 (18:59):
Huh? Well, Doctor Allan here says he met the Fielding
girl for the first time yesterday, but his own appointment
book shows he's been seeing.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Her for eight months. Explain that I can't understand it.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I can.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
You are lying, just as you were lying when you
said you call the police.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
He thought he did call them? Faraday?
Speaker 10 (19:13):
What do you mean sort he did?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Whoever killed miss Fielding tapped the phone in her house
and pretended to be the police.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Eh, how do you know?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I did a very strange thing for me, Faraday? I
investigated and look, have you ever heard of Roger Fielding?
Speaker 10 (19:30):
Roger Fielding? Roger Feeling sounds familiar?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
How fa many?
Speaker 10 (19:35):
I think he was arrested once? He served time too?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
What for?
Speaker 10 (19:39):
I don't know what I can find out.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Well, you find out why Roger Feeling was arrested, and
if it's for what I hope it is, maybe I'll
find out why you can arrest them again?
Speaker 9 (19:57):
We are you looking up on the phone?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Lookky, Glenn mar doctor's secretary. Well Faraday found out that
Roger Fielding used to work for the telephone company went
to jail for stealing payphone collections. I knew he was
responsible for this frame up as soon as he flashed
the phony diary, but I wanted to make sure.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Oh I see.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
And when you found out he'd worked for the phone
company at one time, you figured he you how to
tap the phone in his sister's house, right.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Let me see?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
The only thing I have to prove now is that
Catherine Glenn was working with Fielding, And of course she
phoned up doctor Allen's appointment book. Ah, here's the.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Number, Uh, Darling, where's doctor Allen.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Now at headquarters? Poor guy Saturday wouldn't wait?
Speaker 9 (20:41):
What are you gonna say to miss Glenn?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I'm going to pretend I'm Roger Fielding. See what she says?
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Oh again, happy pretending?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Thanks? Hello, Okay, this is Roger Roger who you don't know?
Speaker 12 (20:58):
I think I do.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Look, I have to see it. What about just to
check on a few things? That is, you ought to know.
Speaker 12 (21:08):
I don't know who you are, but I don't you do, no,
unless you couldn't be Boston Blackie by any chance?
Speaker 9 (21:17):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I think she knew who I was. I'm not very
good at fooling people tonight.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
And you never were very good at fooling me.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I was never trying to pend a murder on you.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
I have never given you the chance, though.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Well feeling it, miss Glenn, have and I'm gonna take
it too. There's just one more.
Speaker 12 (21:32):
Thing I can do, Roger, Miss kay Grinn.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Look, I'm scared. I don't want to tell you over
the phone. I'd better wait till I see you.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
I'll tell you later, all right, Can you come right away?
Speaker 8 (22:03):
We'll hurry before it's too late. Oh, come in, Roger.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
What's okay? What's the trouble?
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Wait till I lock the door?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
And a jumpy kid? What's the matter?
Speaker 8 (22:21):
Nothing? I just want to talk to you. What about
about how things are going?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
You know the answer to that's yourself great?
Speaker 8 (22:27):
But I'm upset? Why because of Francis?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Why be upset about her?
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Because Roger Whiting't you tell me you were going to
kill her? That's what I'm really upset about.
Speaker 11 (22:40):
Oh well, I didn't see any point in telling you
about that, oh Francis, either.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
In fact, it was sort of a spur of the
moment thing.
Speaker 11 (22:49):
I double crossed Francis and never even dreamed she'd be murdered.
When she first came along with that plan. I thought
it would make a better frame against the doctor.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
A better one. What was wrong with your first idea?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Nothing?
Speaker 11 (23:01):
I suppose we could have shaken him down for plenty
with Francis's diary and the appointment book you fixed up.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Then why did you have to kill Francis?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Two reasons?
Speaker 11 (23:08):
It put the doc in a worse spot, and we
only have to split two ways instead of three.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
So I killed it.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Well, I want nothing to do with murder. I'm going
to the police.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Oh you're not.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I killed Francis to make the frame against the doctor Goodwin.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I could kill you and make a.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
Poet, won't.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You call the wrong man? I got here first, looks
like he was going to choke me. Didn't come out
now Faturday dangers over very funny. I had to slip
up behind feeling and slug him right to choke this plenty.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
Yeah, I know I heard plenty before you clipped him.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I guess you did it that Friturday. You know, I
just couldn't get along without you. What would I do?
For laughs?
Speaker 10 (23:59):
You'd look at him? Well, I gotta revive this guy,
and I don't get him down to headquarters.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
I suppose I'm going to headquarters.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Too, Yes, Miss Glenn, but I don't think you will
get what feeling is going to get. They did a
good job working with me after Francis was killed. It
was your cooperation that helped us break this case.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
I did my best, Blackie. I had to.
Speaker 12 (24:22):
When I first got into this, there was no talk
about killing Francis Fielding. I I'm glad doctor Allen's name
is clear.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Really I am.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
I think the police will believe you, Miss Glenn oh Well,
for his frame up against Leicester Allen m D. Fielding's
name from now on is m U D. The
