Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces
Radio Service. Petrie Wine brings you Battle Rathbone and Nigel
Bruce and the new adventures of Rlock Holmes. The Petrie family,
(00:26):
the family that took time to bring you good wine,
invite you to listen to doctor Watson tell us about
another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend that
master Detective Sherlock Holmes say, and I've got little something
to tell you myself. I want to tell you that
if you haven't sent him for your free recipe calendar,
I think we've still got enough on hand to take
care of you if you hurry. The requests have been
(00:48):
pouring him like mad, literally by the thousands, No wonder.
It's really a terrific offer. It's a calendar for nineteen
forty five and forty six. It's in full color, and
it tells you all you have to know about cooking
with Petree Wine. Right to Petree Wine, p E t
ri I Petree Wine, San Francisco, twenty six, California, San Francisco,
(01:09):
twenty six, California for better. Hurry so we can get
your recipe calendar to you immediately, and I'll let's drop
in on our good friend, doctor Watson. Good evening, Doctor,
(01:30):
good evening with the Foreman. Where the puppies, TONI well.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I found them playing with a dead seagull, so they've
been sent up to bed in disgrace.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
You certainly look comfortable yourself, doctor. What's that small blue
book you're reading the latest best seller?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No, no, no, indeed not. This book was never the
best seller, my boy. It's entitled Practical Handbook of d Culture.
There's some observations on the segregation of the queens.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Quite a catchy title.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Who's the author by the name of the home He
was engaged in writing it when the adventure I'm going
to tell you about took place.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But he told us last week, doctor that a pair
of canaries played an important part in the story. It's
quite right, mister Foreman.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It was in the summer of nineteen hundred and eight,
I remember, and I persuaded Homes to leave his Sussex
d farm for a few weeks and to join me
in the holiday.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
The little fishing village of Kingsgate in Kent.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
He was staying at a charming little inn called the
Fisherman's Arms.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
And for the first few days our holiday was delightful.
One and then.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And then, I suppose, doctor, strange things began to happen.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
They did, indeed, mister Foreman, they did.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Indeed, that is strange thing.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
One afternoon, we just finished the late tea, I remember,
and were sitting outside on the lawn, sunning ourselves and
enjoying our pipes. Homes laid back with his long, thin
fingers cast behind his head, gazing thought play at the
multi colored fishing boat bobbing at anchor in the harbor.
After a moment of.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
What's splendid, companion, I can't think of anyone else who
would let me spook my type in silence for half
an hour about asking me what I'm thinking about.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's not very surprising, Homes, after all the years it's
been together.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Nevertheless, the gift is a rare one on chap and
I appreciate.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Hell.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
By the way, since the halfas up, what have you
been thinking about?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
A lack of enterprise of modern criminal audasitting in Romantine
will pass forever from the criminal world. Read this note
I received this morning, old fellow, give to yourself how
low I have sunk to look?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's the home I am staying in the same inn
as yourself, and as I have had a very frightening
e speience this is week, I thought perhaps.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
You would help me please do.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's signed Mary Victor.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
An exciting document, isn't it? But non under notepaper reading
a perfume on the handwriting is obviously that of an
adolescent girl.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You haven't bothered to answer, of.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Course, Oh yes I have. I sent a message backed
by our good landlord, and I was glad to see her.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Why home came down here to complete your hand for
can't bee farming?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh? Can't found it? That's who wretched? Can there is
getting their sun bout on the window sill above us?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Well you could throw the jolly fellows chirping away up,
I find the sound most specking le's go inside. You
know homes those birds owned by a charming couple and
mister and missus Wainwright.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I was chatting with him on the.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Stairs this morning, and I've fed their charmer escape as
long as their pets continue to tweet in that irritating manner.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I've spoken of a piece and quiet of the country
in Watson, and yet I find it. Come in ah this, Mary, Victor.
I presume he's coming towards the door. Won't you thank you?
This is Michael friend, doctor Watson. You may speak quite
binni in front of him?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
How do you do say too?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
How do you do?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Doctor?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Sit down, young lady and tell me what's coubbing you,
Mister Holmes.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I came down here from London to get away from somewhere,
but I've been followed.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I've been afraid to leave.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
The inn until last night. I thought I couldn't stand
being cooked up any long, so I went for a
walk in the seashore. Someone followed me, mister Holmes. I
ran back here as fast as I could, but now
he knows where I live, and I'm frightened.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Please help me, my Dames Victor, and I'm afraid you
must be much more specific before I can help you.
Who has followed you down here? And why are you
afraid of him?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
I'll tell you the whole story.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It sounds strange to you, but I swear it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I'll be again down for the gate.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
I'm going to my room now, now, now, now, don't
you be fighting miss Victor.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I'm sure we'll be. First of all, I.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Don't see anyone outside who might frightened the two three
fishermen liking about. Wait a minute, here's a young fellow
walking up the path. Come on, watch them answer the frenchman.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Again.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I think we'll take a liperty of accosting him. Excuse me, sir, Yeah,
are you looking for miss Mary Victor? Young and pretty?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yes, sir, she is extremis her and I'm looking for her.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Where can I find her? I can see your being facetious, sir. Well,
there's no harm in that is there?
Speaker 7 (06:07):
By the way, who are you, gentlemen?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
May I ask? My name is Holmes, and this is
my friend, doctor Watson.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
I'm dazzled, Carter, you're not Sherlock holmbs are you?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That is my name?
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I thought you seemed familiar. I know your brother Mike
Craft indeed, and.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I presume you're connected to the Foreign Office.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Yes, I'm in the consular service.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Are you staying at the ill young man for a
few days?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
It's funny that I run into the great Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I may ask I was.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Planning a murder, hopefully, but with a gentleman, here, I
see that I shall have to be very discreet.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Who is your intended victim? Man CHOI?
Speaker 7 (06:38):
There are two of them, the two calaries in the
room next to mine.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
The moment I thought that you he really serious?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But I am serious.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
The wretched creature him in riding me mad.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I quite sympavized with you, sir. I've been thinking of
being a slight kiss of Mayhem under my soap.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
We can take one apiece, mister Holmes. Well, I'm glad
to have met you both.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I well see you again, Goodbye, goodbye, good bye.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I don't like that fellow home you ask me. He's
the man who's been frightening the poor girl at Kimus.
Could you look on his face when you asked me?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
He was looking for Mary Victor.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
There's only one person who can stuffle the question, and
that's the end. Lady yourself. Come on, old fellow, let's
go back and dotch.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
He comes waynright then, Good.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Evening with good evening, gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
This is my friends, the Sherlock Home.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I'm honored to meet you, sir. How do you do,
mister Wainwright? Beautiful evening, isn't it? I just took a
stroll down to the store to get some more bird seed.
By the way, mister Holmes, I hope I caneries.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Don't bother you.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Little fellows are such comfort to my wife and me.
I find that chirping very soothy. I am so glad.
Good night, gentlemen, good night, good night, mister Wilson.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Not Wilson, mister Holmes, Wayne right White.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Think your pardon. I'm so sorry. I thought you said Wilson,
good night.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Not like you to mix up names.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Home, I didn't mix them up, O fellow, I never
forget a face, mister Wainwright is in reality Wilson the
notorious Kneed Rayner might have the pleasure of sending to
prison for seven years fetch ninety five some years later.
You need one of them as spectacular escapes from prison
in the history of crime, and has since managed to
evade all efforts to recapture Emily.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
He seems the sweet old.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Possibly is performed, but I doubted our stage is set
for an freaking problem old chat, and our cast is
an interesting one, a fighting young girl, a diplomat of
uncertain integrity, and a noted criminal Watson. I have a
feeling that once again the games are put.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Homes. Why are we strolling along the pier and seat
of saying it in? I thought you said that you
would expect your trouble.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I have old chat and I'm sure if we'll find
us out.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
You know, homes.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I'm still completely mysterified now the behavior of that girl
married Victor I.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Locked at the door last year, only again this morning.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I couldn't get any answer, and the Manli told me
that she had not seen a finner last night, nor
at breakfast this morning, and yet her room not invocated.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Curious, Hello, Villa's comfortable sunning himself at the end of
the pier.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Good morning, Sergeant Blake, doctor Watson, how are you, gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
To take us hundred and very appreciative of the weather
that you provided for us.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I'll think nothing. I would say, we always arranged it
for our really distinguished visitors. By the way, mister Owns,
I was reading one of your friend's stories about you
last night, the one called the Adventure of Mysterior Lodge.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That was Wisteria large, you.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Fool, maybe it was anyway, I was reading it aloud
to me, old woman, and if didn't mind my day
in sandst round. We both thought you made a bad mistake.
Lords force you come out all right in the end.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Give me Steed, I stand reproved suicide and homesome.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Look with that figure standing by itself right at the
end of the fire.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Our friend Wilson, the Canari friend.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Asked her revolver here here, we don't want any of
these going on. And Keith, come on here you what
are you doing? Way with every bother at that, he begged,
three of you.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I'm in law here, that's.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Tell me what to do.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Guys say I'm not afraid of fire, and he says, sergeant,
you don't want to cyfle with Just exactly what are
you up to? Wilson. You caught up with me once
in cage Sherlock Holmes, But this time you're not going
to send me back to a prison, a game and
maybe the gallows if I can't tap you, and I'll
take my own way off with this Rover put someone
on thunder? Are you talking about the murder? Ay? And
(10:33):
last night I did it? Murder confessing in front of
the three of you, or you'll leave my wife alone.
He didn't know anything about it.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Now, I hope you're satisfied mister Sherlock Holmes, he's pulling
the revolver as heison.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
To full stop it.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Sull me think he done it over ap peering into
the sky.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Good help, Sergeant Possibly isn't good by? Come on, Watson
so much lean first, possire. We just heard a murder
confession that we don't know who has been looking.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What was the telegram that you you sent off just now?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
A message to my brother mi car You can't keep
it informed me the chattle cart of the young diplomat
when we've met yesterday and rather hurriedly in the early
hours of this morning. Come on, let's go upstairs.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Oh, we'll have to break the news to missus.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Wayne, right, I suppose before we do that, I think
we'll see if miss Victor's in her room? Which one
is it?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Here top of the stairs.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Hmm. This will take the liberty of looking in. The
Victor has been seen since last night. Uh huh, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Lord with a mess that stood all over the place,
open suitcase.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Look that the young lady had been planning an immediate departure.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well did you be I won't see us this last night?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Oh, I beg your pardon gentlemen, I thought I had
many dictor come in missus.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Way, I'm afraid we have rather bad news for you.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Your husband shot himself a quarter of an hour ago
at the end of the pier, and his body fell
into the sea. Is he dead? We must presume so, madam.
I left his sergeant there searching for him. Sergeant Blake
put back here in a moment.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Now very all don't seem to a surprise, madam.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
And he threatened to do it.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
This is wain right. Before your husband shot himself, he
consisted committing a murder in this inn last night. A murder.
Who is murdered the moment.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We're not quite sure.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
He must have been out of his mind, right. I'm
afraid I must to ask you some rather painful questions.
Are you aware that your husband is a criminal, That
he served a prison sentence under the name of Wilson
sign you there.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
He told me when we were married two years ago.
But he said that he'd gone straight ever since he'd
come out of prison. That's why he changed his name.
He was trying to make a fish start.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You know, no reason for his trying to kill anyone else.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
To him, none And unless you find someone murdered, I
wouldn't get too much thought to it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yes, if you'll forget my saying to Adam, you seem
remarkably unmoved by your husband's tragedy.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Why should pretend we were very happy together?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
This might be the best way out of it for both.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
My husband came quite a large amount of life insurance
in the event of suicide.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Would that be terrible? Depends on a policy. Madam. Then
I must say that from your attitude, I begin to
doubt that your husband is dead. What do you mean?
I mean that if mister Wilson, or if you prefer it,
mister Wainwright wished to disappear in spectacular style, what could
be simpler than to pretend to shoot himself? Talk into
the I'm a pure sergeant.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Did you find him, mister m He picked him out
right away. There is your door name. Shot himself to
the eddy. That's disposes of your last sturning home.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Did you find the revolver?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Sergeant got it right here with me. One bullet mission.
You found out if anyone is been murdered, mister yet,
wait a.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Moment, listen, I don't hear any jack, you hear nothing
yet we're within a few feet of the Wainwright's room.
What do you mean there's one sound we should be hearing,
very serious the moment, why, I think before, the sound
of your canary is chirping. You've heard it else for days.
(14:35):
Come on, Watson, where are you fine? You're a marable,
my faide anister dispensed with asking your permission.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
You're already in my room. It seems a little light
even to mention the subject.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Oh no, Chad, if you have my you'll see them
on the bottom of the cage.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Let me up the stone, get one of them out,
Joe home. They're dead.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
And yet when we entered the inn a few minutes
ago there was still chipping.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
But who on earth would want to kill a couple
of birds?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That, my dear fellow, is one of the things we
have to find out so far. I must admit I'm puzzled.
We have a self confessed murderer. Now the nearest thing
we can find to a corpse with a pair of
dead canaries.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
We'll bring you the rest of doctor Watson's story in.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Just a second. A second i'll take if you don't mind,
to ask you if you've ever had a glass of
Petree California's sherry. Because if you haven't, boy, you want
a remedy that situation, Prato, try that Petree sherry before
dinner some evening. Look at its clear amber color, Smell
the fragrances luscious grape, and get a sample of that
Petree flavor. Mmmm. That pet sherry can turn the usual
(16:01):
before dim law into a main event. And say, if
you like your sherry dry as I do, wait to
taste Petree pale dry sherry. Is that ever good? But
after all, when it's a Petree wine, it's always a
good wine. And I'll back to tonight's new Sherlock Holmes Adventure.
(16:29):
Strange events are taking place in the Kentish fishing village
of Kingsgate. A self confessed murderer has committed suicide, but
his victim cannot be found. As we rejoin our story,
the Great Detective and his old friend doctor Watson are
once again examining the room of Merry Victor, one of
the missing guests.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You know how the murder that Wilson confessed to before
he committed suicide might be the chilliers to clear him.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I think not, Old Chap Wilson obviously loved the creatures
and keept him in spite of the banks that they
were dangerously after my day time with his criminal FAUSTU
huh interesting, very interesting? Hm. Woll you fund this note
lying on the Sixtus dressing table?
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So we look.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Do you think you can hide from me?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But you can't.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Wherever I go I shall follow you.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
So why not get wise to.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yourself and stop running away?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
So as if the poor girl was in danger right
part of there.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
But the writer of that note me obliging. So the
letter is unsigned, at least gives us a clue to
his identified. The phrase get wise to yourself is very
un English. It's American. Come old chap, where we go?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The envelope to this letter have the King's get postmark
on it. I shall be surprised if that fount of
all knowledge, the very postmistress, can't help us find an
American visitor.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Oh, yes, I.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Here the young man. You must be looking forwarding to
many Nun's water see bunker, and he's being here to
send telegrams. And his excellents are strong.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You could cut it with the life.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
It's just like one of the Indian fellows cancer and
he's been rumined, Missus Beale, fifteen laburnum grove and down
behind the.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Guest with fifteen groove, Missus Bell, thank you, thank you
very much. I'm very much obliged you all.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
Yes, what can I do to you? Gentlemen?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Well, we understand that mister Walter Bunker has been staying
with you.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Madam, is a nice young American gentleman, is it?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
How may I ask?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
No, sir, I'm not worried about him. This morning when
he goes out, he asks me what the nearest cemetery is.
I'll tell you, and then he gives a queer kind
of laugh.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm not sure i'll see.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
You anymore, he says, and then he walks off. And
I haven't seen him. See I'll tell you I'm worried
about in gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Better than this cemetery, Missus Bell. The then you directed
him go.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
About three miles from here. Just decide to burn some wood, thank.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You, madam. Come on, Watson, cemetery seems deserted us coming
from the church. Lord, it's a funeral or a wedding.
Come on, thank Josey, it is a wedding.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Home.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Ray, we're on a false tail. But we better make sure.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Why are gentlemen please the ceremony.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Is just thinking, that's one question. He's telling me the
names of the couple just married.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Miss Merry, think you're from the game, and the young
American by the name of Dunker. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
As we have been following a false trail confounded backing.
Young lady was merely frightened by her persistant American fiancee
being left of city center and thinking were still worded.
When you come to think of it, anyway, we can
cease to worry about this picture. And she is now
missus Bunker. I think we can assume that she's out
all danger.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
We've got to start all over.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Agin.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
No, no, my dear fellow. The field is narrowing. We'll
head back to the inn now, and I have a
feeling that we are on the last lap of our
strange adventure.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
She has another suspect eliminated till Vanish from my brother Micraft,
and I telegraphed him earlier on today check on the
movements of the National Kaza. The young man who left
the inn so mysteriously in the early hours of this morning.
His answering forms myth that the gentleman in question was
recalled to the Foreign Office suddenly and arrived quite safely
a few hours ago. Oh no, I'm complete person, and
I all followed at last. See daylight wish are I did,
(20:57):
mister lad and go upstairs and get bad man's widow
and bring for my rumpies. And then I think I
can give you the solution to this problem. What do
you put me, mister Erms, this is madam you and
Sage and Blake make yourselves comfortable now in the first place.
(21:21):
To murder occurred this morning and that last night.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I know we're talked thinking at the canaries. I ad
knit I killed them, but you can't do anything to
me for that.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Why did you kill those birds?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I hated them as.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Much as my husband loved them. When I knew he
was dead, they're seeing Johnny mad so I killed them.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Must have been already dead when we told you your husband, Suso.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Watson, that the lady was fully aware that her husband
was dead when we informed her of the fact, You see.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
She murdered him.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You're talking rubbish, mister Elm.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
How could she have married him? We saw him sued
himself before eyes.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Because when Wilson raised that revolver to his head. He
was convinced that it contained blank cartridges, and fortunately for him,
his wife had deliberately replaced the blanks with live cartridges. Great, healn,
Why let me reconstruct the case for you. Wilson with
the connie of his wife here and had concived the
disappearance blood. He knew that I had spotted his real identity,
and so he planned this rather dramatic exit, confessed for
(22:17):
a non existent murder, and then well had his plan materialized.
He was to shoot himself with a bank all from
the pier and a talent suicide, A fantastic deman. How
did he panally get away? He would have swum under
the water safe distance and so made his escape. Oh,
his plan couldn't work possible, Baba babah blah. But at
least it was ingenious. He would have destroyed his true
(22:38):
identity and had his revenge on me by making the
search for a murder that had never been committed. Unfortunately
for him, his wife as his accompass and saw in
the scheme an excellent way of killing her husband.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
You think you're so very clever, mister Holmes. But if
it were true, how could you prove it?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Observe this rebulber, Missus Wilson, he's the one your husband
shot himself with.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
What can you prove from that?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Have a heard of fingerprint tests?
Speaker 5 (23:03):
I've had of them, but that revolve has been underwater?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
True, quite true. But thanks to the researching my excellent
friend doctor John Thondyke, an infallible test has been discovered
for recording fingerprints even after emotion and see water. I
applied the test to the Prince on the revolver and
the bullets and compared them with some that we found
on the water glass in your room. They are the same,
Missus Wilson. Now does a man let his wife load
(23:28):
his suicide weapon? Such a break? I think it's obvious
that the time has come for you to take over
the case. All right, all right?
Speaker 5 (23:34):
So I did times to build a sie hated him.
I'm glad he said, what's my juice again?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Break? Now that, I'll tell you, Missus whitson to the stasion.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Booked you on a murder chard.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I wonder if you'd mind answering a question this thing
I like to know about that I never heard of
being able to take Prince Arthur. A revolver has been
handled too or three times and soaked in short war films.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
And I'd like to know when you performed the test
and took the Prince off the glass in the room.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I thought that I was with you all time. You will,
my dear fellow. Well, then I didn't you do the answer?
In one word, there is no such test, my dear Watson.
It would be almost impossible to expect color prince answer
so much handling, and totally appossible after submission. Fortunately for us, though,
missus Wilson was double enough to believe me and give
me a confession.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
And there's no such person as doctor John Formed.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Oh yes, yes, indeed there is a great succession year
in the case of the Red Tark told me about
that case. No, no, no, I didn't. It was deliberate,
don't yet, with your taste for writing sensational stories, I
was afraid you might publish the affair. Oh yes, it would.
You would have given away once I say, professional secrets.
You would have provided the public, and in particular the
(24:57):
criminal public, with a complete education the Prince. And when
that happens, my dear Watson, we shall have no trick
clipped that will be a sad day for detictives. The
(25:28):
Night Sherlock Holmes Adventure is written by Dennis Green and
Anthony Boucher and is based on an incident in the
Sir ROSTH. Coleman Doyle story The Adventure of Wis Syria Lost.
Mister Rathbone appears to the courtesy of Metro Golden Mayor
and mister Bruce the courtesy of Universal Pictures, where they
are now starring in the Sherlock Holmes series. The Petrie

Bruce and the new adventures of Rlock Holmes. The Petrie family,
(00:26):
the family that took time to bring you good wine,

in on our good friend, doctor Watson. Good evening, Doctor,
(01:30):
good evening with the Foreman. Where the puppies, TONI well.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I found them playing with a dead seagull, so they've
been sent up to bed in disgrace.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
You certainly look comfortable yourself, doctor. What's that small blue
book you're reading the latest best seller?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No, no, no, indeed not. This book was never the
best seller, my boy. It's entitled Practical Handbook of d Culture.
There's some observations on the segregation of the queens.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Quite a catchy title.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Who's the author by the name of the home He
was engaged in writing it when the adventure I'm going
to tell you about took place.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But he told us last week, doctor that a pair
of canaries played an important part in the story. It's
quite right, mister Foreman.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It was in the summer of nineteen hundred and eight,
I remember, and I persuaded Homes to leave his Sussex
d farm for a few weeks and to join me
in the holiday.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
The little fishing village of Kingsgate in Kent.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
He was staying at a charming little inn called the
Fisherman's Arms.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
And for the first few days our holiday was delightful.
One and then.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And then, I suppose, doctor, strange things began to happen.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
They did, indeed, mister Foreman, they did.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Indeed, that is strange thing.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
One afternoon, we just finished the late tea, I remember,
and were sitting outside on the lawn, sunning ourselves and
enjoying our pipes. Homes laid back with his long, thin
fingers cast behind his head, gazing thought play at the
multi colored fishing boat bobbing at anchor in the harbor.
After a moment of.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
What's splendid, companion, I can't think of anyone else who
would let me spook my type in silence for half
an hour about asking me what I'm thinking about.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's not very surprising, Homes, after all the years it's
been together.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Nevertheless, the gift is a rare one on chap and
I appreciate.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Hell.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
By the way, since the halfas up, what have you
been thinking about?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
A lack of enterprise of modern criminal audasitting in Romantine
will pass forever from the criminal world. Read this note
I received this morning, old fellow, give to yourself how
low I have sunk to look?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's the home I am staying in the same inn
as yourself, and as I have had a very frightening
e speience this is week, I thought perhaps.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
You would help me please do.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's signed Mary Victor.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
An exciting document, isn't it? But non under notepaper reading
a perfume on the handwriting is obviously that of an
adolescent girl.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You haven't bothered to answer, of.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Course, Oh yes I have. I sent a message backed
by our good landlord, and I was glad to see her.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Why home came down here to complete your hand for
can't bee farming?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh? Can't found it? That's who wretched? Can there is
getting their sun bout on the window sill above us?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Well you could throw the jolly fellows chirping away up,
I find the sound most specking le's go inside. You
know homes those birds owned by a charming couple and
mister and missus Wainwright.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I was chatting with him on the.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Stairs this morning, and I've fed their charmer escape as
long as their pets continue to tweet in that irritating manner.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I've spoken of a piece and quiet of the country
in Watson, and yet I find it. Come in ah this, Mary, Victor.
I presume he's coming towards the door. Won't you thank you?
This is Michael friend, doctor Watson. You may speak quite
binni in front of him?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
How do you do say too?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
How do you do?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Doctor?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Sit down, young lady and tell me what's coubbing you,
Mister Holmes.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I came down here from London to get away from somewhere,
but I've been followed.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I've been afraid to leave.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
The inn until last night. I thought I couldn't stand
being cooked up any long, so I went for a
walk in the seashore. Someone followed me, mister Holmes. I
ran back here as fast as I could, but now
he knows where I live, and I'm frightened.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Please help me, my Dames Victor, and I'm afraid you
must be much more specific before I can help you.
Who has followed you down here? And why are you
afraid of him?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
I'll tell you the whole story.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It sounds strange to you, but I swear it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I'll be again down for the gate.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
I'm going to my room now, now, now, now, don't
you be fighting miss Victor.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I'm sure we'll be. First of all, I.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Don't see anyone outside who might frightened the two three
fishermen liking about. Wait a minute, here's a young fellow
walking up the path. Come on, watch them answer the frenchman.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Again.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I think we'll take a liperty of accosting him. Excuse me, sir, Yeah,
are you looking for miss Mary Victor? Young and pretty?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yes, sir, she is extremis her and I'm looking for her.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Where can I find her? I can see your being facetious, sir. Well,
there's no harm in that is there?
Speaker 7 (06:07):
By the way, who are you, gentlemen?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
May I ask? My name is Holmes, and this is
my friend, doctor Watson.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
I'm dazzled, Carter, you're not Sherlock holmbs are you?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That is my name?
Speaker 7 (06:15):
I thought you seemed familiar. I know your brother Mike
Craft indeed, and.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I presume you're connected to the Foreign Office.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Yes, I'm in the consular service.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Are you staying at the ill young man for a
few days?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
It's funny that I run into the great Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I may ask I was.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Planning a murder, hopefully, but with a gentleman, here, I
see that I shall have to be very discreet.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Who is your intended victim? Man CHOI?
Speaker 7 (06:38):
There are two of them, the two calaries in the
room next to mine.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
The moment I thought that you he really serious?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But I am serious.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
The wretched creature him in riding me mad.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I quite sympavized with you, sir. I've been thinking of
being a slight kiss of Mayhem under my soap.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
We can take one apiece, mister Holmes. Well, I'm glad
to have met you both.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I well see you again, Goodbye, goodbye, good bye.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I don't like that fellow home you ask me. He's
the man who's been frightening the poor girl at Kimus.
Could you look on his face when you asked me?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
He was looking for Mary Victor.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
There's only one person who can stuffle the question, and
that's the end. Lady yourself. Come on, old fellow, let's
go back and dotch.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
He comes waynright then, Good.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Evening with good evening, gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
This is my friends, the Sherlock Home.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I'm honored to meet you, sir. How do you do,
mister Wainwright? Beautiful evening, isn't it? I just took a
stroll down to the store to get some more bird seed.
By the way, mister Holmes, I hope I caneries.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Don't bother you.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Little fellows are such comfort to my wife and me.
I find that chirping very soothy. I am so glad.
Good night, gentlemen, good night, good night, mister Wilson.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Not Wilson, mister Holmes, Wayne right White.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Think your pardon. I'm so sorry. I thought you said Wilson,
good night.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Not like you to mix up names.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Home, I didn't mix them up, O fellow, I never
forget a face, mister Wainwright is in reality Wilson the
notorious Kneed Rayner might have the pleasure of sending to
prison for seven years fetch ninety five some years later.
You need one of them as spectacular escapes from prison
in the history of crime, and has since managed to
evade all efforts to recapture Emily.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
He seems the sweet old.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Possibly is performed, but I doubted our stage is set
for an freaking problem old chat, and our cast is
an interesting one, a fighting young girl, a diplomat of
uncertain integrity, and a noted criminal Watson. I have a
feeling that once again the games are put.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Homes. Why are we strolling along the pier and seat
of saying it in? I thought you said that you
would expect your trouble.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I have old chat and I'm sure if we'll find
us out.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
You know, homes.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I'm still completely mysterified now the behavior of that girl
married Victor I.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Locked at the door last year, only again this morning.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I couldn't get any answer, and the Manli told me
that she had not seen a finner last night, nor
at breakfast this morning, and yet her room not invocated.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Curious, Hello, Villa's comfortable sunning himself at the end of
the pier.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Good morning, Sergeant Blake, doctor Watson, how are you, gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
To take us hundred and very appreciative of the weather
that you provided for us.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I'll think nothing. I would say, we always arranged it
for our really distinguished visitors. By the way, mister Owns,
I was reading one of your friend's stories about you
last night, the one called the Adventure of Mysterior Lodge.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That was Wisteria large, you.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Fool, maybe it was anyway, I was reading it aloud
to me, old woman, and if didn't mind my day
in sandst round. We both thought you made a bad mistake.
Lords force you come out all right in the end.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Give me Steed, I stand reproved suicide and homesome.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Look with that figure standing by itself right at the
end of the fire.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Our friend Wilson, the Canari friend.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Asked her revolver here here, we don't want any of
these going on. And Keith, come on here you what
are you doing? Way with every bother at that, he begged,
three of you.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I'm in law here, that's.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Tell me what to do.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Guys say I'm not afraid of fire, and he says, sergeant,
you don't want to cyfle with Just exactly what are
you up to? Wilson. You caught up with me once
in cage Sherlock Holmes, But this time you're not going
to send me back to a prison, a game and
maybe the gallows if I can't tap you, and I'll
take my own way off with this Rover put someone
on thunder? Are you talking about the murder? Ay? And
(10:33):
last night I did it? Murder confessing in front of
the three of you, or you'll leave my wife alone.
He didn't know anything about it.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Now, I hope you're satisfied mister Sherlock Holmes, he's pulling
the revolver as heison.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
To full stop it.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Sull me think he done it over ap peering into
the sky.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Good help, Sergeant Possibly isn't good by? Come on, Watson
so much lean first, possire. We just heard a murder
confession that we don't know who has been looking.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What was the telegram that you you sent off just now?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
A message to my brother mi car You can't keep
it informed me the chattle cart of the young diplomat
when we've met yesterday and rather hurriedly in the early
hours of this morning. Come on, let's go upstairs.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Oh, we'll have to break the news to missus.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Wayne, right, I suppose before we do that, I think
we'll see if miss Victor's in her room? Which one
is it?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Here top of the stairs.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Hmm. This will take the liberty of looking in. The
Victor has been seen since last night. Uh huh, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Lord with a mess that stood all over the place,
open suitcase.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Look that the young lady had been planning an immediate departure.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well did you be I won't see us this last night?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Oh, I beg your pardon gentlemen, I thought I had
many dictor come in missus.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Way, I'm afraid we have rather bad news for you.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Your husband shot himself a quarter of an hour ago
at the end of the pier, and his body fell
into the sea. Is he dead? We must presume so, madam.
I left his sergeant there searching for him. Sergeant Blake
put back here in a moment.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Now very all don't seem to a surprise, madam.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
And he threatened to do it.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
This is wain right. Before your husband shot himself, he
consisted committing a murder in this inn last night. A murder.
Who is murdered the moment.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We're not quite sure.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
He must have been out of his mind, right. I'm
afraid I must to ask you some rather painful questions.
Are you aware that your husband is a criminal, That
he served a prison sentence under the name of Wilson
sign you there.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
He told me when we were married two years ago.
But he said that he'd gone straight ever since he'd
come out of prison. That's why he changed his name.
He was trying to make a fish start.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You know, no reason for his trying to kill anyone else.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
To him, none And unless you find someone murdered, I
wouldn't get too much thought to it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yes, if you'll forget my saying to Adam, you seem
remarkably unmoved by your husband's tragedy.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Why should pretend we were very happy together?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
This might be the best way out of it for both.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
My husband came quite a large amount of life insurance
in the event of suicide.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Would that be terrible? Depends on a policy. Madam. Then
I must say that from your attitude, I begin to
doubt that your husband is dead. What do you mean?
I mean that if mister Wilson, or if you prefer it,
mister Wainwright wished to disappear in spectacular style, what could
be simpler than to pretend to shoot himself? Talk into
the I'm a pure sergeant.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Did you find him, mister m He picked him out
right away. There is your door name. Shot himself to
the eddy. That's disposes of your last sturning home.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Did you find the revolver?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Sergeant got it right here with me. One bullet mission.
You found out if anyone is been murdered, mister yet,
wait a.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Moment, listen, I don't hear any jack, you hear nothing
yet we're within a few feet of the Wainwright's room.
What do you mean there's one sound we should be hearing,
very serious the moment, why, I think before, the sound
of your canary is chirping. You've heard it else for days.
(14:35):
Come on, Watson, where are you fine? You're a marable,
my faide anister dispensed with asking your permission.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
You're already in my room. It seems a little light
even to mention the subject.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Oh no, Chad, if you have my you'll see them
on the bottom of the cage.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Let me up the stone, get one of them out,
Joe home. They're dead.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
And yet when we entered the inn a few minutes
ago there was still chipping.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
But who on earth would want to kill a couple
of birds?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That, my dear fellow, is one of the things we
have to find out so far. I must admit I'm puzzled.
We have a self confessed murderer. Now the nearest thing
we can find to a corpse with a pair of
dead canaries.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
We'll bring you the rest of doctor Watson's story in.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Just a second. A second i'll take if you don't mind,
to ask you if you've ever had a glass of
Petree California's sherry. Because if you haven't, boy, you want
a remedy that situation, Prato, try that Petree sherry before
dinner some evening. Look at its clear amber color, Smell
the fragrances luscious grape, and get a sample of that
Petree flavor. Mmmm. That pet sherry can turn the usual
(16:01):
before dim law into a main event. And say, if
you like your sherry dry as I do, wait to
taste Petree pale dry sherry. Is that ever good? But
after all, when it's a Petree wine, it's always a
good wine. And I'll back to tonight's new Sherlock Holmes Adventure.
(16:29):
Strange events are taking place in the Kentish fishing village
of Kingsgate. A self confessed murderer has committed suicide, but
his victim cannot be found. As we rejoin our story,
the Great Detective and his old friend doctor Watson are
once again examining the room of Merry Victor, one of
the missing guests.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You know how the murder that Wilson confessed to before
he committed suicide might be the chilliers to clear him.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I think not, Old Chap Wilson obviously loved the creatures
and keept him in spite of the banks that they
were dangerously after my day time with his criminal FAUSTU
huh interesting, very interesting? Hm. Woll you fund this note
lying on the Sixtus dressing table?
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So we look.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Do you think you can hide from me?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But you can't.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Wherever I go I shall follow you.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
So why not get wise to.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yourself and stop running away?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
So as if the poor girl was in danger right
part of there.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
But the writer of that note me obliging. So the
letter is unsigned, at least gives us a clue to
his identified. The phrase get wise to yourself is very
un English. It's American. Come old chap, where we go?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The envelope to this letter have the King's get postmark
on it. I shall be surprised if that fount of
all knowledge, the very postmistress, can't help us find an
American visitor.

many Nun's water see bunker, and he's being here to
send telegrams. And his excellents are strong.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You could cut it with the life.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
It's just like one of the Indian fellows cancer and
he's been rumined, Missus Beale, fifteen laburnum grove and down
behind the.
Speaker 1 (18:14):

Well, we understand that mister Walter Bunker has been staying
with you.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Madam, is a nice young American gentleman, is it?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
How may I ask?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
No, sir, I'm not worried about him. This morning when
he goes out, he asks me what the nearest cemetery is.
I'll tell you, and then he gives a queer kind
of laugh.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm not sure i'll see.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
You anymore, he says, and then he walks off. And
I haven't seen him. See I'll tell you I'm worried
about in gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Better than this cemetery, Missus Bell. The then you directed
him go.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
About three miles from here. Just decide to burn some wood, thank.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You, madam. Come on, Watson, cemetery seems deserted us coming
from the church. Lord, it's a funeral or a wedding.
Come on, thank Josey, it is a wedding.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Home.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Ray, we're on a false tail. But we better make sure.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Why are gentlemen please the ceremony.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Is just thinking, that's one question. He's telling me the
names of the couple just married.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Miss Merry, think you're from the game, and the young
American by the name of Dunker. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
As we have been following a false trail confounded backing.
Young lady was merely frightened by her persistant American fiancee
being left of city center and thinking were still worded.
When you come to think of it, anyway, we can
cease to worry about this picture. And she is now
missus Bunker. I think we can assume that she's out
all danger.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
We've got to start all over.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Agin.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
No, no, my dear fellow. The field is narrowing. We'll
head back to the inn now, and I have a
feeling that we are on the last lap of our
strange adventure.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
She has another suspect eliminated till Vanish from my brother Micraft,
and I telegraphed him earlier on today check on the
movements of the National Kaza. The young man who left
the inn so mysteriously in the early hours of this morning.
His answering forms myth that the gentleman in question was
recalled to the Foreign Office suddenly and arrived quite safely
a few hours ago. Oh no, I'm complete person, and
I all followed at last. See daylight wish are I did,
(20:57):
mister lad and go upstairs and get bad man's widow
and bring for my rumpies. And then I think I
can give you the solution to this problem. What do
you put me, mister Erms, this is madam you and
Sage and Blake make yourselves comfortable now in the first place.
(21:21):
To murder occurred this morning and that last night.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I know we're talked thinking at the canaries. I ad
knit I killed them, but you can't do anything to
me for that.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Why did you kill those birds?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I hated them as.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Much as my husband loved them. When I knew he
was dead, they're seeing Johnny mad so I killed them.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Must have been already dead when we told you your husband, Suso.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Watson, that the lady was fully aware that her husband
was dead when we informed her of the fact, You see.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
She murdered him.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You're talking rubbish, mister Elm.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
How could she have married him? We saw him sued
himself before eyes.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Because when Wilson raised that revolver to his head. He
was convinced that it contained blank cartridges, and fortunately for him,
his wife had deliberately replaced the blanks with live cartridges. Great, healn,
Why let me reconstruct the case for you. Wilson with
the connie of his wife here and had concived the
disappearance blood. He knew that I had spotted his real identity,
and so he planned this rather dramatic exit, confessed for
(22:17):
a non existent murder, and then well had his plan materialized.
He was to shoot himself with a bank all from
the pier and a talent suicide, A fantastic deman. How
did he panally get away? He would have swum under
the water safe distance and so made his escape. Oh,
his plan couldn't work possible, Baba babah blah. But at
least it was ingenious. He would have destroyed his true
(22:38):
identity and had his revenge on me by making the
search for a murder that had never been committed. Unfortunately
for him, his wife as his accompass and saw in
the scheme an excellent way of killing her husband.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
You think you're so very clever, mister Holmes. But if
it were true, how could you prove it?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Observe this rebulber, Missus Wilson, he's the one your husband
shot himself with.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
What can you prove from that?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Have a heard of fingerprint tests?
Speaker 5 (23:03):
I've had of them, but that revolve has been underwater?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
True, quite true. But thanks to the researching my excellent
friend doctor John Thondyke, an infallible test has been discovered
for recording fingerprints even after emotion and see water. I
applied the test to the Prince on the revolver and
the bullets and compared them with some that we found
on the water glass in your room. They are the same,
Missus Wilson. Now does a man let his wife load
(23:28):
his suicide weapon? Such a break? I think it's obvious
that the time has come for you to take over
the case. All right, all right?
Speaker 5 (23:34):
So I did times to build a sie hated him.
I'm glad he said, what's my juice again?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Break? Now that, I'll tell you, Missus whitson to the stasion.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Booked you on a murder chard.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I wonder if you'd mind answering a question this thing
I like to know about that I never heard of
being able to take Prince Arthur. A revolver has been
handled too or three times and soaked in short war films.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
And I'd like to know when you performed the test
and took the Prince off the glass in the room.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I thought that I was with you all time. You will,
my dear fellow. Well, then I didn't you do the answer?
In one word, there is no such test, my dear Watson.
It would be almost impossible to expect color prince answer
so much handling, and totally appossible after submission. Fortunately for us, though,
missus Wilson was double enough to believe me and give
me a confession.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
And there's no such person as doctor John Formed.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Oh yes, yes, indeed there is a great succession year
in the case of the Red Tark told me about
that case. No, no, no, I didn't. It was deliberate,
don't yet, with your taste for writing sensational stories, I
was afraid you might publish the affair. Oh yes, it would.
You would have given away once I say, professional secrets.
You would have provided the public, and in particular the
(24:57):
criminal public, with a complete education the Prince. And when
that happens, my dear Watson, we shall have no trick
clipped that will be a sad day for detictives. The
