Speaker 1 (00:16):
Who knows what evil works in the hearts of men.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
The Shadow us.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Once again, your neighborhood blue coal dealer, brings you the
thrilling adventures of the Shadow, the hard and relentless fight
of one man against the forces of evil. These dramatizations
are defined to demonstrate forcefully to old and young alike
that crime does not pay. The lucky householders whose homes
(00:52):
are heated with coal are enjoying healthful warmth in every
room of their homes, even though the bitter winds blow.
There is no need to cut down heat or close
off rooms in homes heated with dependable hard coal. Yes, sir,
when you have a supply of hard coal in your basement,
you are the boss of heating your house. You are
absolutely independent of any outside service. Be glad you heat
(01:13):
with anthracite, the home heating fuel that never fails. And remember,
blue coal is the finest anthracite money can buy. The
Shadow who ates the forces of law and order is,
in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town. Years
(01:36):
ago in the Orient, Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret,
the hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so they cannot
see him. Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane,
is the only person who knows to whom the voice
of the Invisible Shadow belongs to day's drama, The.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Chill of Death.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Bailey, Yes, missus Bailey, please shut the upstairs door. Of course,
my dear, you know how terribly sensitive I am. Of course,
the sound of that poor girl screaming. I couldn't stand.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It your feelings? Do you much credit, my dear.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Mister Bailey, Yes, why is she screaming?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
The narcotic wore off? A little too early?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
I see the neighbors and can't hear.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
The walls are quite three.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I still don't like it. Suppose some one were to
come in it, my dear, no one will. We should
think of something, mister Bailey, for the future.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
It's upsetting this way.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
I have always felt, my dear, that in the course
of a long life, I have never met a woman
of such exquisit sensibilities as yours.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Thank you, my dear.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I wonder what's on the radio.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Mister Bailey.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yes, tune into something pleasant music, perhaps not one of
those crime programs.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
There's so more bid.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
It's the sad occasion for you, Missus Bailey, So.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
It is, doctor White. Mister Bailey and I were so
fond of dear Hilda.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
I think it was very kind of you to give
the girl such a lovely.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Funeral, but she had no family of her own. It's
the least, mister Bailey said to me. It's the least
we can do.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Of course, it's too bad. But pneumonia's no respector of
persons nor affections. Well, it's rather strange.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
What's it's strange? Doctor White?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Loss brose's on her hands?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Who sits on her hands?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Yes, just as though she'd beeting against the wall with 'em.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Oh, oh that we had some repairs to do in
the kitchen. Mister Bailey wanted to call a man in,
but he'll insisted on doing it herself.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
She was so good to us.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Poor girl actually left us some insurdance. Oh, yes, only
a few thousand. But it's the spirit of Martys, isn't it,
mister Bailey.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Ah, mister Wilkins, the car's are ready.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
You can start at any time now. Thank you Wilkins.
You've been a very great help. Missus Bailey.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yes, we may as well start now, you know we
shall have to find another house now, mister Wilkins, our
home is so filled with memories of poor dear childer
another house, perhaps even in another town.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Lamont Who is mister Carlton Hecks the man we're going
to see? Very help?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Oh, seriously, he's acquaintance a man, darling, big insurance man.
He's pretty important to understand. Ask me to stop in
and see him. Sounded urgent and the worried.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Maybe somebody forgot to past premium.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Now here we are?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
How they.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Lamont I, I'm glad to see you.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
How do you do mister Heck?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Will you sound and look as if we had something
on your mind?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I have, Miss Lane Lamont, I am vice president of
the Insurance League for this part of the country. Yes,
it's all policies are cleared through this office, life insurance policies. Oh,
I can't ask you to help me in my legal capacity, Lamont,
only as an old friend.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I see you.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
What in particular is bothering you call a sweet old
couple named Bay.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yes, over a period of a few years they've been
having made.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Trouble the girls that die them. Oh, pneumonia, That isn't
something that could be faked. No, there's no doubt at
all the girls all did die of pneumonia. There's also
no doubt that all of them were insured in the
Baiby's favor.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Uh. I'm beginning to see what you mean.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Each policy didn't amount to earning munch a few thousand
dollars on me, but together, See, the girls were all
insured with different companies and in different terms.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yes, this, uh, this thing has possibilities. Well, you help
me get to the bottom of it. A month and
I'd be glad to.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I think the immediate question is, well, are the dailies now?
So we've come to you, doctor White, to see if
you could give us any information about the death of
mister and Missus Bailey's maid till the Sun story.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
She died of pneumonia. Mister Kranston, I can tell you
that you're certain it's not an illness age practitioners likely
to miss mister Cranston.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
We just wanted to be very certain of the facts.
Dot to White.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Well, the facts are that the girl contracted pneumonia somehow,
Miss Lane, but I was called in when she was
already delirious, and that her.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Case was hopeless.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Was there anything at all.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Odd about the circumstances or the corpse doctor Whitney, and
nothing except that her hands were bruised. But the bailies
told me that she'd been making some repairs in the house.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Bruised hands. Tell me if the Bailies lived here for
very length of time.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Some months? I see now they've moved left town. The
tragedy apparently left a very deep impression or missus Bailey.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Or possibly uh doctor White. Was there anyone in town
they were especially friendly with.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Uh Wilkins. Perhaps it's James Wilkins. Undertake excuse me, mortiician
not that they were really friendly with him, but when
the tragedy occurred, he was very helpful and odd Queen,
it's mister Cranston. You're discussing this, this thing almost as
though it were well, uh, a crime of some kind
or other.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yes, perhaps it is not a crime of some kind
or other, but very possibly the crime of murder, mister Wilkins.
(08:19):
I hope Miss Lene and I are not keeping you
from your affairs.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
My business is not one of great haste, Mister Cranston,
I suppose not.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Mister Wilkins were very much interested in the Bailey's.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
The Baileyes, mm, poor old soul.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Yes, it was a pity about their maid Hilda.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Yes, they felt her death as though she'd been their
daughter who.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Was very touchy.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So I'm sure it was, especially since it wasn't the
first time a tragedy of that sort had happened to them.
You knew that, of course, Yes, I I mean really
really well, some people are unlucky. I suppose you mean
the Bailies. Yes, Oh, I uh, I was thinking of
their maids. S. Wilkins. Where the Bailey's now, I'm sorry,
(09:03):
but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
Oh it's later than I thought. Uh, you'll excuse me.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I haven't a point of course coming along A good bye,
mister Wilkins.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And uh, thank you very much for your helps.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
This fire ought to tell me, actually, Bady, thank Hurst.
Uh Bailey Bailey four fifty eight.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Cart and drive Taylorville. MM, pleasant little town, Taylorville. I
rather think i'd better pay the Bailey is a visitor.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Who, good evening, mister Bailey. Oh, mister Wilkins. What brings
you here to Taylorville just to visit? To purely associate visit?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Mister Bailey.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I see the good Thank you you call at a
late hour. Mister Wilkins, my wife and I had already retired. Neither.
You didn't let your maid answer the doorbell? Or don't
you have a maid? We have not as yet hired one.
But surely you didn't come all the way here to
Tayleyville to discuss maids.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
A gentleman came to my place earlier today, merely to
discuss maids. Yes, especially Hilda, your last maid.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Who was he?
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Mister Cranston never heard of the man? Hardly he heard
of you. However, I didn't furnish him with your dress?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
How did you happen to know it?
Speaker 7 (10:39):
I've been er interested, shall we say, ever since I
discovered that Hilda.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Was not the only one of your maids who died
of pneumonia. True a series of unhappy coincidences.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Mister Bailey. I'm no longer a young man. I find my.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Duties arduous, Sir. I've been thinking of retiring. I can't
afford to retire. That's a pity. But then we must
cut our cloth to fit our patterns, mustn't we?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Yes, yes, but I've been thinking of a new pattern,
mister Bailey, one involving a series of unhappy girls who
all died of pneumonia shortly after being employed by dear
old mister missus Bailey, a pattern the police might find
significant the police, HM.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Mister Wilkins, your requirements for retiring.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Are five thousand dollars tidy sum, A modest sum.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I shall have to consider. I am most anxious, mister Bailey,
to retire at once. I am afraid you have no
time for consideration. I see. Well in that case, I
suppose I shall have to comply with your own friends.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Hum, you are a philosopher, mister Bailey.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Am I latterly?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Here we are right in the day, I think, mister Bailey,
and you am a knight, mister Wilder. But you can't,
mister Wilkins, you are a blackmailer. A blackmailer is never
satisfied with the initial payment. He returns always for more
and more.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I couldn't put up the hell of me.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
The hour is late. You will not be held. You, sir,
are a blackmailer, and I am a murderer. You have
practiced your calling to night, and now I shall practice
my pa.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
We'll return to the shadow in just a moment. Friends.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
A few minutes ago, I pointed out that anthracite call
is falling away the most dependable fuel for home heating.
Now here is something else. Call can be just about
as convenient to burn as any other fuel. With a
blue Coal tamp Master on your furnace, there is no
necessity of running up and down seller stairs.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
To adjust furnace dampers. The temp Master adjust.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Them for you, automatically opening and closing them as needed
to keep your home constantly at the helpful temperature you
set on the upstairs file. If you haven't a tamp master,
by all means, get one. You'll find that you can
have carefree heating comfort and at the same time be
absolutely independent of any outside service. You'll be glad you
heat with dependable hard coal when you discover how little
(13:31):
attention your furnace requires.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
After a temp.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Master automatic heat regulator has been installed, you'll be delighted too,
to discover that your temp Master will save a lot
of coal. The new blue Coal tamp Master can be
installed on any furnace without interrupting the heat in your home.
Call the nearest blue coal dealer tomorrow. He'll be glad
to demonstrate the temp Master.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
To you in your own home.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
How back to the shadow, Lamont and Margot in an
attempt to solve the mystery of an insurance backet perstrated
by a seemingly kindly couple named Bailey. I've traveled to Taylorville,
(14:15):
a small upstate town. Mine.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Mm, wh're not married?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Oh huh, that's right, So you shouldn't be reading the
morning paper while we're eating. I'm sorry, Well, you could
be a lot more convincing.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
At breakfast after spending most of the night on a train.
There are a couple of things in the Tailorville paper
of interest Margaret, Oh my god, report of a man
found with his throat cut on the outskirts of town
late last night.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Oh who was he?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
According to the paper there was no identification on the body.
I think we'll go pay a visit.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
To the more lovely idea for an after breakfast, John,
what was the other idea?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh? That popped up?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And they classify ads. It appears that our friends, the
Baileys are advertising for a new maid.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
The money's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Morbus are funny that way.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Who do you think the murdered manies?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
They are?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Went on in a moment.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
The matter it's Wilcomes the more titious.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Oh, thanks a lot, but it's uh not the man
I'm looking for'em.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Okay, mona the mot it was, will caise.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I just assumed the authorities didn't know about it just yet.
The Baillies had anything to do with ease there.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
It couldn't be a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I shouldn't think so.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I want them to think their little secret hasn't been
discovered as yet, Otherwise they'd be more on guard.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Than really answer.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Poor man Win, he's probably a blackmailer. Why now we
wouldn't tell us where the Bailey's had gone yet he
himself obviously knew you might.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I have an idea, hm, if we go them directly,
they'll deny everything.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
There isn't any proof.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Against this, apparently not.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
They've been very cautious, but.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
They wouldn't be cautious with a you may. Your name's
Margaret Flynner.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Yes, mister Bailey.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
HM, you appear to be a pleasant girl. Have you
had much experience?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Not very much, sir, But I'm strong and willing to
work good.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
That's the spirit. Ah, Good morning, my darling.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Good morning, mister Bailey.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
This is Margaret Flynn and missus Bailey. She wants to
be our new maid.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Oh does Margaret really need the position?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
She tells me she's all alone in the world. Missus Bailey, Oh,
poor dear. But if she stays with us, she won't
be well she thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
We have to be very careful, Margaret. You see, a
maid with us isn't merely a servant. She well, she
she becomes a member of family.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yes, ma'am, we want her to be.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
One of us.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Margaret.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Do you think you'd like to very much ma'am? Then,
mister Bailey, I would very much like to have.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Margaret be our companion.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Splendid, splendid Margaret, you're employee, Thank you, sir. Missus Bailey
will show you your room now. Oh a moment, Margaret,
if will you sign this sage? What is it, sir?
Just some red tape for the government pen Margaret, Yes,
but it says something about insurance, an employment insurance. That's
(17:49):
what it is. Your father reading the thing full of
red tape. Just sign yes, sir, there are Now you're
really me. You've nothing to worry about anymore. Splendid dinner,
(18:18):
my dear, I think on you made will work?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Oh, don't you, mister Benny.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I'm worried about going to find out about the late
mister Wilkins.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Eventually.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I would prefer not to be in town of time
connection might be traced.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
The possibility I had no choice.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
I rather think we have no time, mister Beanny.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I've always deferred to your judgment.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
The policy has been entered for the girl. Oh yes,
then perhaps she'd better contract.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Her pneumonia tonight. We'll have you offend night, missus Bean.
Then will be all the work you need to do.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Margaret, what we'd be pleased to have you join us
for a while, Thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
That's in a glass of brandy, mister, but.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Once might Oh I never drink, Oh nor do I,

really drinking. We are missus Bailey, you Margaret, I come now,
No harm in brandy, no harm at all, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Let us drink to a very happy future for all
of us.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
A charming toast, mar Chris, Oh, drink your brandy, girl,
But you're being very impolite, Margaret.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I'll drink it.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
That's a good girl. Not so bad after all, was it?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
No sir, And now we'll sit here in the twilight
and dream of things come.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Of the long twilight and the dark as it follows after.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
What a soothing sound, the sound of running water.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Oh, maybe I'm rather tired.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Shall we go to bed?
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Very well?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
But the door I'd better answer it? Uh that sound
of Perrapsice's baby. You might've lied just with a little
chapein til our visits in Eaven. Of course. Yes, mister Bailey,
quite right.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I've come to call on Margaret Flynn, your maid.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Oh she doesn't receive callers at this hour circle, but
it's very important that I see her. The morning we'll
do as well. Besides, the girls fell oh cold, I think,
but I hope in the morning, so do I. Good night, sir, night.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Or the shadow?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I think it may be, uh good night, but for
the Baileys it will be a very bad one. Iggle moggle, muggle,
(21:29):
good morn. You'll let me help you, darling.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Well, they gave me brand me most consciousness, and they
put me in there cold, my clothes to weather.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
They've gone to bed. I slipped in the back wave.
H hop into your bedroom, Change into dry things, but keep.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
The wet clothes. I don't understand. We've no proof Mogle yet.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
All we could say now is that I found you
in a shower with your clothes on. I just priak
attorney would conclude you were mad or drunk. A jury
would believe the same.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
In the morning logo, the Baileys may a surprise shadow
may fall on them.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Well, Missus Bailey, how is the girl? How is she
this morning?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
At the moment?
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Baby, something's the matter? What girl isn't sick?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I had a feeling?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh sh at all, mister Bailey. What was that?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I said?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Nothing you did?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Oh no, mister Bailey, it was I.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
H h, I'm going mad.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
No, mister Bailey, you're not because I hear him.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
Too good for you, Missus Bailey, Who are you the shadow?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
This must be some joke.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You're made of sterner stuff than your husband, Missus Bailey.
Too bad, he's not as strong as you. Murders are
best performed alone, Missus Bailey. A week accomplice often becomes
a betrayer. He look, Missus Bailey, look at him out here,
See the hysteria in his eyes, the plantic way he
looks about this room in search of a shadow. Can
(23:21):
you be quite sure that your life is safe in
his hands?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Still you I'll be still.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
But will he, Missus Bailey, unless yes, unless he joins.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Your maids, joins the maids.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
She wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
No, look at her, mister Bailey. Skeepy.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Missus Bailey is lying?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Do you think I'm lying? Mister Bailey?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You know your wife so well, your murderous wife, whose
dear sweet little head hats the plan of murder you've
been following.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
She was the one, of course she was.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
There's only one hopefully you, mister him one hope confession,
Confess the police, and Missus Bailey would care very little
about your death.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
She'd be contemplating her own.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
And with confession, mister Bailey, you could plead that you
were only a tool in her hands, that you were
not fully responsible to py. Don't listen why, I sweet
mister Bailey. Even in a cell, life is sweeter than
dancing on empty air with a noose around your neck.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I'll write that confessional right.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It is a trap, better than a death trap sprung
by the state executioner. Better than to die gasping out
your life with pneumonia. I ride to Bailey, don't before
I won't right stole me.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I don't you let me.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
You struck your loving wife. Mister Bailey, I'm afraid you're
not a very kind and considerate husband.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
After all.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Nowless papers ink, I will write, mister Bayley, names places, dates, write,
mister Bailey. Right, you better let me sit next to
(25:12):
the window.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Margo, you've had enough chills for one day.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I didn't do too badly for an unemployed made darling.
I came up with nothing worse than if you'll sniffles.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
This is very lucky.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
That's the worst, Margo. After seeing the loving Baileys in action, he.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Made his wife add her confession to his after the
police arrived.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yes, there's enough evidence now to convict a half a
dozen Baileys.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Well, I'm just glad there isn't more.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
There is more evidence.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
More Baileys a couple is exactly two more than this
world needs.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Now let me present Blue Cole's distinguished heating authority, John Barkley.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Thank you, Andre Brush, and good evening friends.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
As Andre told you, you can.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Heat your home with dependable answer site coal with ease
and comfort by installing a Blue Coal temp Master Automatic
heat regulator on.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Your present furnace. A number of people have asked me
if a.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Furnace is fired differently when dampers are controlled by a
temp master.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
The answer is no.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
You fire your furnace in the same way, except that
you pay much less attention to it. In the morning,
shape the grapes gently and add a liberal supply of coal,
and do.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
The same at night.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Anthracite coal is the most dependable fuel for home heating,
and when burned by modern methods, is just about as
convenient as any other.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yes, a temp master assures you of.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Modern carefree heating comfort. I thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Chill of Death.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Bailey, Yes, missus Bailey, please shut the upstairs door. Of course,
my dear, you know how terribly sensitive I am. Of course,
the sound of that poor girl screaming. I couldn't stand.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It your feelings? Do you much credit, my dear.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Mister Bailey, Yes, why is she screaming?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
The narcotic wore off? A little too early?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
I see the neighbors and can't hear.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
The walls are quite three.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I still don't like it. Suppose some one were to
come in it, my dear, no one will. We should
think of something, mister Bailey, for the future.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
It's upsetting this way.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
I have always felt, my dear, that in the course
of a long life, I have never met a woman
of such exquisit sensibilities as yours.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Thank you, my dear.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I wonder what's on the radio.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Mister Bailey.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yes, tune into something pleasant music, perhaps not one of
those crime programs.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
There's so more bid.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
It's the sad occasion for you, Missus Bailey, So.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
It is, doctor White. Mister Bailey and I were so
fond of dear Hilda.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
I think it was very kind of you to give
the girl such a lovely.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Funeral, but she had no family of her own. It's
the least, mister Bailey said to me. It's the least
we can do.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Of course, it's too bad. But pneumonia's no respector of
persons nor affections. Well, it's rather strange.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
What's it's strange? Doctor White?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Loss brose's on her hands?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Who sits on her hands?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Yes, just as though she'd beeting against the wall with 'em.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Oh, oh that we had some repairs to do in
the kitchen. Mister Bailey wanted to call a man in,
but he'll insisted on doing it herself.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
She was so good to us.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Poor girl actually left us some insurdance. Oh, yes, only
a few thousand. But it's the spirit of Martys, isn't it,
mister Bailey.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Ah, mister Wilkins, the car's are ready.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
You can start at any time now. Thank you Wilkins.
You've been a very great help. Missus Bailey.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yes, we may as well start now, you know we
shall have to find another house now, mister Wilkins, our
home is so filled with memories of poor dear childer
another house, perhaps even in another town.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Lamont Who is mister Carlton Hecks the man we're going
to see? Very help?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Oh, seriously, he's acquaintance a man, darling, big insurance man.
He's pretty important to understand. Ask me to stop in
and see him. Sounded urgent and the worried.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Maybe somebody forgot to past premium.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Now here we are?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
How they.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Lamont I, I'm glad to see you.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
How do you do mister Heck?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Will you sound and look as if we had something
on your mind?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I have, Miss Lane Lamont, I am vice president of
the Insurance League for this part of the country. Yes,
it's all policies are cleared through this office, life insurance policies. Oh,
I can't ask you to help me in my legal capacity, Lamont,
only as an old friend.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I see you.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
What in particular is bothering you call a sweet old
couple named Bay.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yes, over a period of a few years they've been
having made.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Trouble the girls that die them. Oh, pneumonia, That isn't
something that could be faked. No, there's no doubt at
all the girls all did die of pneumonia. There's also
no doubt that all of them were insured in the
Baiby's favor.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Uh. I'm beginning to see what you mean.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Each policy didn't amount to earning munch a few thousand
dollars on me, but together, See, the girls were all
insured with different companies and in different terms.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yes, this, uh, this thing has possibilities. Well, you help
me get to the bottom of it. A month and
I'd be glad to.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I think the immediate question is, well, are the dailies now?
So we've come to you, doctor White, to see if
you could give us any information about the death of
mister and Missus Bailey's maid till the Sun story.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
She died of pneumonia. Mister Kranston, I can tell you
that you're certain it's not an illness age practitioners likely
to miss mister Cranston.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
We just wanted to be very certain of the facts.
Dot to White.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Well, the facts are that the girl contracted pneumonia somehow,
Miss Lane, but I was called in when she was
already delirious, and that her.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Case was hopeless.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Was there anything at all.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Odd about the circumstances or the corpse doctor Whitney, and
nothing except that her hands were bruised. But the bailies
told me that she'd been making some repairs in the house.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Bruised hands. Tell me if the Bailies lived here for
very length of time.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Some months? I see now they've moved left town. The
tragedy apparently left a very deep impression or missus Bailey.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Or possibly uh doctor White. Was there anyone in town
they were especially friendly with.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
Uh Wilkins. Perhaps it's James Wilkins. Undertake excuse me, mortiician
not that they were really friendly with him, but when
the tragedy occurred, he was very helpful and odd Queen,
it's mister Cranston. You're discussing this, this thing almost as
though it were well, uh, a crime of some kind
or other.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yes, perhaps it is not a crime of some kind
or other, but very possibly the crime of murder, mister Wilkins.
(08:19):
I hope Miss Lene and I are not keeping you
from your affairs.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
My business is not one of great haste, Mister Cranston,
I suppose not.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Mister Wilkins were very much interested in the Bailey's.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
The Baileyes, mm, poor old soul.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Yes, it was a pity about their maid Hilda.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Yes, they felt her death as though she'd been their
daughter who.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Was very touchy.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So I'm sure it was, especially since it wasn't the
first time a tragedy of that sort had happened to them.
You knew that, of course, Yes, I I mean really
really well, some people are unlucky. I suppose you mean
the Bailies. Yes, Oh, I uh, I was thinking of
their maids. S. Wilkins. Where the Bailey's now, I'm sorry,
(09:03):
but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
Oh it's later than I thought. Uh, you'll excuse me.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I haven't a point of course coming along A good bye,
mister Wilkins.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And uh, thank you very much for your helps.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
This fire ought to tell me, actually, Bady, thank Hurst.
Uh Bailey Bailey four fifty eight.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Cart and drive Taylorville. MM, pleasant little town, Taylorville. I
rather think i'd better pay the Bailey is a visitor.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Who, good evening, mister Bailey. Oh, mister Wilkins. What brings
you here to Taylorville just to visit? To purely associate visit?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Mister Bailey.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I see the good Thank you you call at a
late hour. Mister Wilkins, my wife and I had already retired. Neither.
You didn't let your maid answer the doorbell? Or don't
you have a maid? We have not as yet hired one.
But surely you didn't come all the way here to
Tayleyville to discuss maids.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
A gentleman came to my place earlier today, merely to
discuss maids. Yes, especially Hilda, your last maid.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Who was he?
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Mister Cranston never heard of the man? Hardly he heard
of you. However, I didn't furnish him with your dress?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
How did you happen to know it?
Speaker 7 (10:39):
I've been er interested, shall we say, ever since I
discovered that Hilda.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Was not the only one of your maids who died
of pneumonia. True a series of unhappy coincidences.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Mister Bailey. I'm no longer a young man. I find my.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Duties arduous, Sir. I've been thinking of retiring. I can't
afford to retire. That's a pity. But then we must
cut our cloth to fit our patterns, mustn't we?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Yes, yes, but I've been thinking of a new pattern,
mister Bailey, one involving a series of unhappy girls who
all died of pneumonia shortly after being employed by dear
old mister missus Bailey, a pattern the police might find
significant the police, HM.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Mister Wilkins, your requirements for retiring.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Are five thousand dollars tidy sum, A modest sum.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I shall have to consider. I am most anxious, mister Bailey,
to retire at once. I am afraid you have no
time for consideration. I see. Well in that case, I
suppose I shall have to comply with your own friends.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Hum, you are a philosopher, mister Bailey.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Am I latterly?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Here we are right in the day, I think, mister Bailey,
and you am a knight, mister Wilder. But you can't,
mister Wilkins, you are a blackmailer. A blackmailer is never
satisfied with the initial payment. He returns always for more
and more.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I couldn't put up the hell of me.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
The hour is late. You will not be held. You, sir,
are a blackmailer, and I am a murderer. You have
practiced your calling to night, and now I shall practice
my pa.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
We'll return to the shadow in just a moment. Friends.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
A few minutes ago, I pointed out that anthracite call
is falling away the most dependable fuel for home heating.
Now here is something else. Call can be just about
as convenient to burn as any other fuel. With a
blue Coal tamp Master on your furnace, there is no
necessity of running up and down seller stairs.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
To adjust furnace dampers. The temp Master adjust.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Them for you, automatically opening and closing them as needed
to keep your home constantly at the helpful temperature you
set on the upstairs file. If you haven't a tamp master,
by all means, get one. You'll find that you can
have carefree heating comfort and at the same time be
absolutely independent of any outside service. You'll be glad you
heat with dependable hard coal when you discover how little
(13:31):
attention your furnace requires.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
After a temp.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Master automatic heat regulator has been installed, you'll be delighted too,
to discover that your temp Master will save a lot
of coal. The new blue Coal tamp Master can be
installed on any furnace without interrupting the heat in your home.
Call the nearest blue coal dealer tomorrow. He'll be glad
to demonstrate the temp Master.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
To you in your own home.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
How back to the shadow, Lamont and Margot in an
attempt to solve the mystery of an insurance backet perstrated
by a seemingly kindly couple named Bailey. I've traveled to Taylorville,
(14:15):
a small upstate town. Mine.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Mm, wh're not married?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Oh huh, that's right, So you shouldn't be reading the
morning paper while we're eating. I'm sorry, Well, you could
be a lot more convincing.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
At breakfast after spending most of the night on a train.
There are a couple of things in the Tailorville paper
of interest Margaret, Oh my god, report of a man
found with his throat cut on the outskirts of town
late last night.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Oh who was he?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
According to the paper there was no identification on the body.
I think we'll go pay a visit.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
To the more lovely idea for an after breakfast, John,
what was the other idea?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh? That popped up?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And they classify ads. It appears that our friends, the
Baileys are advertising for a new maid.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
The money's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Morbus are funny that way.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Who do you think the murdered manies?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
They are?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Went on in a moment.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
The matter it's Wilcomes the more titious.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Oh, thanks a lot, but it's uh not the man
I'm looking for'em.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Okay, mona the mot it was, will caise.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I just assumed the authorities didn't know about it just yet.
The Baillies had anything to do with ease there.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
It couldn't be a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I shouldn't think so.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I want them to think their little secret hasn't been
discovered as yet, Otherwise they'd be more on guard.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Than really answer.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Poor man Win, he's probably a blackmailer. Why now we
wouldn't tell us where the Bailey's had gone yet he
himself obviously knew you might.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I have an idea, hm, if we go them directly,
they'll deny everything.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
There isn't any proof.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Against this, apparently not.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
They've been very cautious, but.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
They wouldn't be cautious with a you may. Your name's
Margaret Flynner.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Yes, mister Bailey.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
HM, you appear to be a pleasant girl. Have you
had much experience?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Not very much, sir, But I'm strong and willing to
work good.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
That's the spirit. Ah, Good morning, my darling.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Good morning, mister Bailey.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
This is Margaret Flynn and missus Bailey. She wants to
be our new maid.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Oh does Margaret really need the position?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
She tells me she's all alone in the world. Missus Bailey, Oh,
poor dear. But if she stays with us, she won't
be well she thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
We have to be very careful, Margaret. You see, a
maid with us isn't merely a servant. She well, she
she becomes a member of family.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yes, ma'am, we want her to be.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
One of us.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Margaret.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Do you think you'd like to very much ma'am? Then,
mister Bailey, I would very much like to have.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Margaret be our companion.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Splendid, splendid Margaret, you're employee, Thank you, sir. Missus Bailey
will show you your room now. Oh a moment, Margaret,
if will you sign this sage? What is it, sir?
Just some red tape for the government pen Margaret, Yes,
but it says something about insurance, an employment insurance. That's
(17:49):
what it is. Your father reading the thing full of
red tape. Just sign yes, sir, there are Now you're
really me. You've nothing to worry about anymore. Splendid dinner,
(18:18):
my dear, I think on you made will work?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Oh, don't you, mister Benny.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I'm worried about going to find out about the late
mister Wilkins.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Eventually.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I would prefer not to be in town of time
connection might be traced.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
The possibility I had no choice.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
I rather think we have no time, mister Beanny.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I've always deferred to your judgment.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
The policy has been entered for the girl. Oh yes,
then perhaps she'd better contract.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Her pneumonia tonight. We'll have you offend night, missus Bean.
Then will be all the work you need to do.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Margaret, what we'd be pleased to have you join us
for a while, Thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
That's in a glass of brandy, mister, but.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Once might Oh I never drink, Oh nor do I,
my dear, But a sip of fine brandy that isn't
really drinking. We are missus Bailey, you Margaret, I come now,
No harm in brandy, no harm at all, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Let us drink to a very happy future for all
of us.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
A charming toast, mar Chris, Oh, drink your brandy, girl,
But you're being very impolite, Margaret.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I'll drink it.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
That's a good girl. Not so bad after all, was it?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
No sir, And now we'll sit here in the twilight
and dream of things come.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Of the long twilight and the dark as it follows after.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
What a soothing sound, the sound of running water.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Oh, maybe I'm rather tired.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Shall we go to bed?
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Very well?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
But the door I'd better answer it? Uh that sound
of Perrapsice's baby. You might've lied just with a little
chapein til our visits in Eaven. Of course. Yes, mister Bailey,
quite right.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I've come to call on Margaret Flynn, your maid.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Oh she doesn't receive callers at this hour circle, but
it's very important that I see her. The morning we'll
do as well. Besides, the girls fell oh cold, I think,
but I hope in the morning, so do I. Good night, sir, night.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Or the shadow?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I think it may be, uh good night, but for
the Baileys it will be a very bad one. Iggle moggle, muggle,
(21:29):
good morn. You'll let me help you, darling.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Well, they gave me brand me most consciousness, and they
put me in there cold, my clothes to weather.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
They've gone to bed. I slipped in the back wave.
H hop into your bedroom, Change into dry things, but keep.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
The wet clothes. I don't understand. We've no proof Mogle yet.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
All we could say now is that I found you
in a shower with your clothes on. I just priak
attorney would conclude you were mad or drunk. A jury
would believe the same.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
In the morning logo, the Baileys may a surprise shadow
may fall on them.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Well, Missus Bailey, how is the girl? How is she
this morning?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
At the moment?
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Baby, something's the matter? What girl isn't sick?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I had a feeling?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh sh at all, mister Bailey. What was that?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I said?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Nothing you did?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Oh no, mister Bailey, it was I.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
H h, I'm going mad.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
No, mister Bailey, you're not because I hear him.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
Too good for you, Missus Bailey, Who are you the shadow?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
This must be some joke.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You're made of sterner stuff than your husband, Missus Bailey.
Too bad, he's not as strong as you. Murders are
best performed alone, Missus Bailey. A week accomplice often becomes
a betrayer. He look, Missus Bailey, look at him out here,
See the hysteria in his eyes, the plantic way he
looks about this room in search of a shadow. Can
(23:21):
you be quite sure that your life is safe in
his hands?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Still you I'll be still.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
But will he, Missus Bailey, unless yes, unless he joins.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Your maids, joins the maids.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
She wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
No, look at her, mister Bailey. Skeepy.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Missus Bailey is lying?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Do you think I'm lying? Mister Bailey?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You know your wife so well, your murderous wife, whose
dear sweet little head hats the plan of murder you've
been following.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
She was the one, of course she was.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
There's only one hopefully you, mister him one hope confession,
Confess the police, and Missus Bailey would care very little
about your death.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
She'd be contemplating her own.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
And with confession, mister Bailey, you could plead that you
were only a tool in her hands, that you were
not fully responsible to py. Don't listen why, I sweet
mister Bailey. Even in a cell, life is sweeter than
dancing on empty air with a noose around your neck.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I'll write that confessional right.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It is a trap, better than a death trap sprung
by the state executioner. Better than to die gasping out
your life with pneumonia. I ride to Bailey, don't before
I won't right stole me.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I don't you let me.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
You struck your loving wife. Mister Bailey, I'm afraid you're
not a very kind and considerate husband.

After all.

Nowless papers ink, I will write, mister Bayley, names places, dates, write,
mister Bailey. Right, you better let me sit next to
(25:12):
the window.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Margo, you've had enough chills for one day.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I didn't do too badly for an unemployed made darling.
I came up with nothing worse than if you'll sniffles.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
This is very lucky.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
That's the worst, Margo. After seeing the loving Baileys in action, he.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Made his wife add her confession to his after the
police arrived.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yes, there's enough evidence now to convict a half a
dozen Baileys.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Well, I'm just glad there isn't more.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
There is more evidence.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
More Baileys a couple is exactly two more than this
world needs.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
