Speaker 1 (12:15):
Vanderveer Alen thro pull of society and first rate double cross.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I am you're the one. What do you call h
a double contrast? They had the dining piano. Isn't the
only thing to think of my face? A hundred thousand
dollar pair not to stew them too?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
What?

Speaker 3 (12:32):
And you took it? And you took the diamond Pierra.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Uh huh, I see right through this one. You stole
that necklace, then had me seal the tiara so I'd
be blamed for both.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
I wouldn't do everything. I'm a respectable old woman.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yes, for the first time, I really believe you're seventy
years old. Why do you say that? Because no one
under seventy could have lived long enough to figure out
a gag as tricky as it.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Now back to Boston, Blackie.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
When Blakey robbed the Vanderver safe of a diamond tiarra,
he didn't even wear a glove because he was stealing
the jewels at the owner's request.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Next morning, though, Missus.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Van Dervere goes to the police to report that not
only the pierra, but the valuable necklace is missing. What's more,
the fingerprints found on the face don't belong to Blackie,
but to Missus Vandervere's son. Missus Vanderver, however, still accuses
Blackie of the stant As we return to our story,
Blackie brings Missus Vanderver to the door of a home. Alright,

(13:46):
Missus Vandervere, you and I are going inside and have
a little talk. That pearl necklace was not a mistake
when I rob it.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
That's why do you beat the bog.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
That's say, right where it is now in some porn
shop where you put it? Where d do?

Speaker 2 (14:00):
I't lop on the door, I have to open the nighthouse.
Thank you, pretty clever of you.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Url.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Necklace was probably insured. You not only get the insurance
money for it, but an additional amount of selling.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
It, the pay that it isn't even mine, it belongs
to my husband.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Knock 'em all the more reason why you sell it? Well?

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, very, what's a liver?

Speaker 1 (14:23):
You have company?

Speaker 3 (14:26):
I'm not expect that any she can sit fire, shedn't sleep?
I mean, young lady, young.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Lady, maybe you'd better shake it this little Yes.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
She seems to be Oh, oh ma, we do his
knock young her nurse?

Speaker 1 (14:45):
You can't waken a missus andervere she's dead? Yeah? Oh
who would she?

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Uh? I even never see what befall in my line?

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Maybe something in a purse for all who she is?

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Who'll give the h I don't know what to do?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Sit down, fine, let her identifications calling trent to something.
Oh here you see mm oh there's something a ring,
a wedding ring. Oh you have? Oh yes, it does?
It does? It has initials inside it fairly sharp to

(15:22):
let say to b l from tz Junior TV jor Yes,
you know what this means too, don't you, missus Vandervere,
this girl was your son's wife.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
That's impossible, nodded, And he never was married.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
This proves he was.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
I was an amazing coincidence. Was a telephone Thanks, Well,
what are you going to do? Call Inspector Sara Day
of the police. There's just a chance your son ran
out of here and right into the loving arms of
the law.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
He Well, likely this is Mary. I'm at the marriage.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Joe and I have those records lear anything?

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yes, you were rife. Tom Vandervig Junior married here to
say six months ago?

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Well will i'd be a surprise to missus Vanderbeer.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Well, I don't know why it should be. She was
a witness of the wedding.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
What here both see.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
And mister Malcolm vanderbe find a certificate as witnesses.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
And she told me she'd never seen the girl before
in her wife.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
What does this mean?

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Less?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
It means our sweet old lady maybe not only a
very clever jewel seat, but a cold blooded murderess, that's
my guess. Anyhow, it's a good guess this is the
key figure in this thing we haven't talked to yet.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yes, I know Malcolm vander be a husband Tom's father.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Tom's father was Markham's brother. Markham is Missus Vanderber's second husband.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Oh is that so?

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yes? And I'm going to see him because maybe a
second husband will give me a second guest.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
While, mister vand of Air, as soon as we find
your steps on, this case is closed. I think that
I think I can save you a lot of trouble
on that score.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
In elexaparity, you.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Can save me more than trouble if you'll get rid
of that tatcher carrying. Can't worry me.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
My cat won't come any one. I think you better
hear what I have to say.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
You know something?

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yes, I do? Well, your way ahead of all of
aden FLANKI get out of here, get out.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I think you arrived at some times you were the cats.
You must be Markham Vanderveer.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yes, all right, plenty. Now what do you want to say,
mister Vandave, I'm the one you're looking for. What? Yes,
I really didn't intend.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
To kill this girl, but he caught me talking on
the phone.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Well, I haven't caught talking on the phone a thousand times.
I haven't killed anyone for it.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
I think what mister Van means that his daughter in
law caught him talking to a fence about how much
he expected for the pearls you stole. That's right.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
I took the purse when last night, why well they
were mine, you know, But well I needed money, so
I knew what missus Vanderdet had arranged with Boston blackets
here and at twelve o'clock last night. I came down here,
waited until Black he had gone, and then I sit
in and superper What time was this? Twelve o'clock exactly?

(18:28):
Made my dogs around? Hey, hey, you always throw that
tater ound the cat scratch me? Go away, go away too,
all right, mackam.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Tell on, let's go wait a minute, inspected, I've got
a confession. Blank.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
You know, I used to say out of this.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Vand Avere's confession isn't worth a police type of trouble.
He's just covering up for Tom. I did it. I
tell you, Tom Tennison, Then so are you? You said
you took the pearls out of the safet twelve o'clock
after I had opened the safe. Sorry, Vandvere and I try,
but I did and have the safe open until after
two o'clock.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Well, alright, alright, what black he is right?

Speaker 1 (19:10):
I wasn't telling the truth, Inspector.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
I I just wanted to protect Tom.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Forgive me, inspector.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
But well sure, sure, Vandern I understand.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
What do you understand, Inspector?

Speaker 2 (19:21):
But Vandavie, who was just trying to protect his son.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
You amaze me, Faraday. You're not gonna make the mistake
of arresting an inn man.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
When have I ever arrested a guy who wasn't Gilly.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Let's not go into that, inspector. Let's just get out
of here. Sure you don't mind stopping by my apartment
a minute, Mary, No, no, of course, not that. It
may take a little while to get hold of shorty,

(19:51):
but it may be worth it.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, A little wait there.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I well, this must be Tom Zindervie.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
I got a guy. I'll kill you if she won't
be the one of you. Not to be careful, Sorr.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
I'm marry Tom. I think you'd better get out of here. Hello,
you rob my father safe.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
You got me into this. I'm not leading til you
get me out.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
I robbed your father. Say sure, the diamond, Piana, but
you took the pearls.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
I did not.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Your fingerprints were on the safe door only because I
closed the door. All right, you didn't take the pearls,

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Wait a minute, we've fit some have we? What a
clever guy that Mark and Vandervere is. While Markham was
taking his confession of Faraday, he was holding a cat
suddenly pretended that the cat had scratched him.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
I'm glad that that is clever. The police would think
that any scratches on.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
A tann made to the cat, right, And his confession
was clever too. He m. He made that error in
time on purpose, just to make sure I'd know it
was a phony.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Glad that they can tell the difference to your cat
scratch and a human scratch. You can do it at
the hospital.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
I'm gonna call fire, and.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
If that gal stept me to them to the the car,
I can have a a thing.

He Don't worry, Mary, I know I have this straight
this time thanks to that cat Vandervere was homing.

Isn't it strange that there was a cat's.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Claw that put the finger on Markham? Vandervere. Well, Faraday,
I suppose you're plenty proud of the way you solve
this key.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
I always solved my cases. And what was the idea
of saying a singer Princeville.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Let's safe, say well, Faraday, I mean afore I open
the safe, missus Vandivere cleaned the door.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Just to protect me.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Then the sun came along a little later and closed it.
That's why you found his prints on it, not mine.
Oh later she denied that she knew her daughter in
law to try to protect Tom savably.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
But Braggie, when I make him confess, I do it right.
I know markam Vandivere's motive now and everything I can get.
