Speaker 1 (00:02):
Basle, Rack Boom and Nigel Bruce in the New Adventures
of Gerlock Holmes. This rebroadcast is especially for the American
Armed Forces, and they're alive. Now let's join doctor Campbell
as he enters doctor Watson's study. Well, here we are
(00:50):
once again in doctor watson study. Come in, mister Campbell,
come in, sit down and let you a little bit
rooted over.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yes, it's such a beautiful spring evening.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I thought i'd walk over. In fact, it's so beautiful.
I had goggled most of the way, breaking in the
warm air and the smell of things going, until suddenly
I realized I was blamed. We going to be late
if I didn't hurry, So I ran the last three block. Yes,
I know how it is. This lovely spring weather is
the conducive to kindolence my household claim. When I go
(01:23):
out to do the spring planting, I spent most of
my time leaning on the spade, sniffing, listening to the birds.
I'm an unpleasant way to pass the time of day. Incidentally, yes,
the daylight to day, it's almost as a lex thing
as a Curtis fun which reminds me of a curious
and gory experience, it comes that I had in just
(01:43):
such an establishment some years ago. I sound suspiciously like the.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Gentleman who said sang or speaking.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Of explosions, mister Kimbuller, give a sifficalplain about the way
that the storyteller begins. Is yon anything you said than
in a bust beginning so quickly all out worth?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Where was I?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Or in a Turkish bath? If I'm not mistake the
Turkish fast.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The city assented well now to begin at the beginning.
It was in the hectic hair raising, and I might.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Even say the glorious days of.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
The great battle of wits between Sherlock Holmes and the
notorious Professor Mariarty que you might call a real battle.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Of the Titans la. Indeed it was, mister camp.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Things had been unusually hectic for homes for several months.
Mariarty had been particularly active, and homes had had many
sleepless nights. Finally, things had calmed down a bit, and
I tried to persuade him to take a badly needed holiday,
the net result being that he finally did agree to
have an afternoon off and accompany me to a Turkish bath.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It was a matter of fact both for Holmes.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
And I had a weakness for the Turkish bath over
the smoke. In the present attitude of the drying room,
I've often found him less reticent and more human than.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
That any other time.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
The heat knowledge is cast iron reserve. They got to
the cyclis the gurblone a CYCLI well, as I was saying,
on the upper floor of a certain the Fumberland Avenue establishment,
there is an isolated corner where two cutches lie side
by side.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
And it was on these that.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
We were lying. Owls that just shot his long sinewy
arm out of the towels which enveloped him, and was
fishing about in the inside pocket of his coat, which
hut beside him.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
That's putty. Where on earth did I put it? All?
Confound of thing? What them? I forgot to bring my tobacco?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Oh, relax ho, just relax, forget about tobacco, forget my archy,
and relaxed that we came in here.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
For berbal berbal burbo burbo. I am relaxed, my dear fellow.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I want to smoke one about the berbal burbo, something
like the peace and seclusion of it of a Turkish
bar mitter home make the Gussie the steam room attendant seems.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
To be paying you. Oh my goodness, now what and.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Then you haven't seen it?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
The chill up?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Home?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Here, here I am, God, here, I am. What do
you want? Come on, homes, it's good I find you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
There has been an accident, mister Holmes, a bad accident.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It's Lord Canterbury.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
He's in his dressing room covered it.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Got Oh and that's say I can't you want the
Dr Watson? You're not me.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I'll be with you in a minute. Girl.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Oh no, not doctor Watson. It's it's too late for
you work. He's dead, dead in six places.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Come in, look at mister Holmes, please dead. Yeah, mean
all right, I'm coming once.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Gracious.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
What's all the commotion?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Why can't we have a little piece of parts meaning
of this guy? Why are these two persons talking at
the top of the boy My dear mister, mister orwell,
whoever you are, I have never under the impression of
the Olympia bars but a church. Furthermore, my dear mister,
(05:08):
oh well, never mind the name Tunbridge. Frederick Stubert Tunbridge
a Liberal leader of the present Parliament, on which everyone knows,
who keeps the breast of the time I have at Tunbridge,
I do not concern myself which triviality is. Furthermore, as
I was saying before, being so rudely interrupted, you may
be interested to know that your his rival at Cantillbury,
the Conservative leader with whom you are known for publicly
(05:29):
locked forms on several occasions.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Or what if I have?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh what you done now, the old fool?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
If you mean Lord Canselburry, he's done. Absolutely, Yes, he
hasn't done anything and probably.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Never will again.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Oh what are you liverling about? Well, it seems that
Gus has just discovered your so we say, political bizarre
v dead in his dressing room. Oh you mean he's
had our heart to say?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
No, I don't mean anything of the kind. You've been
scabbed in.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
How many places did you say, Gus?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
In six places, mister Holt.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
But that's it's impossible.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I will that is. I talked to him not half
an hour ago. We had a little conference tuborough you understand.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
But while he was waiting for Gus to come in
and give him his better Quite all right, I left General.
Really are you sure? What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Of course I'm sure. Campbrally was alive and person like
a trooper. When I left him, I passed.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
The luss in the corridor and.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I came out of Campbrid' dressing room. He'll tell you
the old boy was alive on ticket. How aboudy girl,
it is true, I hear swearing, but from which dressing
room it comes I could not be sure.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Ivanger Forkin you.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Understand, Yes, indeed it's quite true. Of the dressing room,
balls are tim and that's.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Who is this person?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And why is he asking all these stupid questions? But
mister Turnbridge, this gentlemen, it's mister Sherlock Holmes heave Mus detective.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I've never heard of.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Him, got even me them well sn for Scotland Yard.
This is a matter of national important cry.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yes, I think you're quite right. You may as well.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Temperance, Textulu, Star, Guns, Gott and God will have to
be informed in any case. In the meantime, however, well,
I think I'll take a look.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
In the meantime, mister whoever you.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Are, I insist, but everything will left strictly alone. Very
well then, mister uh I thing I'm with Bob If
you insist, but you'll be losing valuable time. I most
emphatically do insist. Well, I'm getting out, think you o
apos if you even do help me on my gentlemen,
just a moment, if you please. I don't think it's
only fair to point out you all that suspicion is
(07:31):
bound to fall on anyone who leaves the for the authorities.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I had a chance to search and question it. Oh
you mean I have to be silent, right or anyone
all all those times you seem to have stirred up
quite a hornet's nest, there wasn't.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And I've brought you in here for the rest. Wells
dad yskedy man, say mister elmsright from the back. Yes,
not once, but six times, deep ferocious thrusts, quite unnecessarily
(08:07):
brutal and if I may say.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So, bloody.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, the place looks like a chull says whoever did
the deed must have been drenched in blood. Might tell
your men's search a bloodstained towels or garments.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Will you stand?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yes? Well, I don't think up anything that's got blood,
and it never you fear, mister Ellams. I've ordered a
search of everybody and everything on the predace. That's not
going to be be very popular with mister Tunbridge Jho.
I wouldn't care if he was the Archbishop of Canterbury.
When Scotland Yard says search everybody, we search everybody. Besides,
(08:41):
everybody knows he and the corpse here are bitter enemies.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I bought my cat and dog.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
How long would you say been.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Dead, mister Elms Oh, I don't know about.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Let me say nine and a half to play forty
minutes to get you to head a stride and Canterbury
had been dead.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Let me see over half an hour when guns found him.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
A guess did the dorman notice who left the establishment
during the half before.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
The body was found?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yes, sir only or mister Welford. And he's two sheep
and they're excited to do a crime like this. He
was the door to Lord Camperburry's plasing room locked. A no,
and how does it happen that he lay here for
over half and hour before anyone found it, particularly as
if he was done on the books from massage half
an hour before he was found. I thought you was asleep,
(09:31):
Lord Cantleberry. Sometimes he liked a little nap after he
was an esteem room and he didn't want I should
disturb him.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh, that's very interesting.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Then you did come in this room one before you
realize Lord temper Burry was.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Dead, Yes, mister Hobbe, but he was lying there, so
please for.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Peaceful yes, on his back, yes, sir, just like re
found him.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
It wasn't until the second time I come in I
see he has his eyes open. And the places will
we say, all scattered with blood.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
It was so dark they've shed or drawn. It was
not easy to see anything if you don't look close.
Even then, some people are unable to observe.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
The most obvious facts. And what might you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Or just an observation in the strand just a gratuitous observation.
Come in well with us, what's up? We takes the
place from top to bottom, just like you said, inspector,
And there's no blood stains nowhere except on this sir.
What's that? A pocket knife, sir, large size, and there's
been wiped off, but there's still some bloodstains.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
On the blide.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
We found it in the locker of the bloke nine
or tunbrid does America start?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Don't go up the de bend with it?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yes, sir, you would say there were no blood stains
anywhere except on this knife.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Not a sign of a Bloodstein nowhere. You searched that.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Alden hampers, dolls and lockers are the customers of their clothes.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Oh, yes, we sached everything.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
There's not a sign of blood anywhere.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
But I'll that their weapon.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Amazing ever enough for me, We see it is the
murder weapon a pers and in Tumbridge's locker. Bring him
in here, Willisson, We'll have him on the carpet. Yes,
right away. I knew he was the murderer from the beginning.
Who has the motive for killing canterb This chat Toumbidge,
who had the opportunity of this check Temblidge. He admits
(11:16):
himself he had a talk with the deceased and they
had words. Where did you see if Dunstein knife found nowhere?
Back in the this mister Tumbridge's locker. Hes took his
face from murders and had the paper weapon in his
own locker. Tumbridge isn't as stupid as that mustra now
and Margaret is there, Look, this is an outrage. Keeping
(11:36):
the hair like this or going to realize I had influence? Well,
why at least have been put on my clothes? Instead
of calling him about, I'll complains the athologists.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I'll have you dismissed all of your old Maybe.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You will, sir, and then again maybe you won't. And
first of all you'll answer some questions. Have you ever
seen this knife before? For a knife your yes, of course,
it's mine. I've heard it all my life. Used to
take it fishing well as a boy. No, indeed, explained
it's side. Then now I use it to open my letters.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Oh you too?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Are you sure that who you.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Use it for? Yes, of course?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
So why are they easier?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Blood stains on it?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Blooding?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, wha, yeah and near and yeah, oh well, don't.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Shoot touch it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
We don't want to destroy any possible finger prints. But
if it's my my fingerprints are already on it.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yes, he's right, palistran and further.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Them or that staines doesn't look like blood to me,
it's it's not read it of its rushed.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
As a mental fact. If a stain is a nice
blood red, it's fairly certain it's not blood. Now, this
particular stains rightly.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
A particular stage of Scott and Yard mystery. Yeah, so
don't forget my della start. I invented the first in
terrible test for blood stain. And it's quite true, star
you did. Yes, indeed my test, and my test is infallible.
It works on blood that is new or on blood
that is old. I discovered the first pree agent which
is precipitated by hemoglobin. And mister I'm sorry, but Scotland
(13:01):
Yard doesn't any time for lectures.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Will believe in action.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Now, mister tumbrig, it's my duty to take you into custody,
and it's also my duty to warn you that anything
that you may say may be.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Used in evidence against you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Anything I say, if you realize whom you're arresting. I
am a leading figure in British politics.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So was this fellow?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Lysia stand with your knife which has still got bloodstains
on it, and a lad if you'll pardon me saying so.
In this case it's not the bloodstains that are in evidence,
but being blood stages that are not in.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Evidence, which is the significant factor.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Oh what do you mean by that? It's simpler that
it would have been rather difficult for mister Tumbish, who
have committed the murderers glory as this one about having
bloodstains on the towel he's wearing, or on the clothes
which are still in his locker, or what was to
prevent him from copying a towel outside Lord Canterbury, reflecting
them going in and knighting him in the back, then
speaking down to the shower rooms not more than two
(14:00):
eighty feet down the corridor, and washing away the evidence
me going round about it in the nude. Certainly not
most certainly not, sir, Remember my dear Estradas who dragged
one of Britain's leaders away to jail. That it might
have been possible for him to stab it anymy in
a fit of temper, but he would never have dreamed
of running up and down the corridors in his firstitude.
Oh let me see, I'm afraidis had to look for
(14:23):
another explanation of a missing bloodstains.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Homes.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's late. Everyone else's left the Turkish.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Farm, everyone but the faithful girl.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh a head on't mime head tonight that we have
by my house, Saur Kraud. I don't like our crowd. Besides,
I've got to stay in lock up and you have
to wait till we find the blood.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Things yet somewhere. That's why I sent home for my
famous Benzantine poxide. Next yup, and we're on the furniture.
There is a towel or linen or something that has
the blood.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Take would we've been through the towels and the linen
a dozen times? Homes no silent blood. Furthermore, according to
Sabas Chicklists, there.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Are no towels or any linen.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Missy. Even glass which which he washes himself.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Is here on the line. Wasn't it any of your own?
Do you?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And not mister Holmes. Everything go out of the laundry.
I wash my own because I'd like to.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Be fresh and clean.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Twice a day I watch noon and evening. Yeah, the
evening's job hasn't been done yet, eh.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I know this one. I watched this known it's my
towel from this morning. Oh yeah, it's my tow washed
this known but.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
It Temperbury was murders in a big living afternoon about three.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Pretty now it's now after seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Let you see Watson, this towel.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Don't you see?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Well, I don't know, mesive glassd thing.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
The towels as clean.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
As a whistle, but was not dry if it had
been washed at new washed at noon. It would be
dry now, but it's still damp. Yes, it was washed
after Canterbury's dead. Costs to move the bloodstains.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Guess that's why.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
You didn't go fop a death in soil half an
hour after Canterbury had died. Oh no, you don't have
time to remove the blood chains.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
But that's not true.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Besides, you can't prove anything. The power is clean now,
there are no mask, no staying. But there a fact
that there were no stains on a cus that made
me suspect you that Canterbury was found lying on his back.
And yet when you were informeders that he had been stabbed,
you were quite definite about the number of times that
he'd been stablished in the back.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Says how did you know that? Gus, Well, I lift
him up.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And I look, course youre getting at home. He couldn't
have done that. No one could examined the cops without
getting blood on the web.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Sorry, every one.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Guys appeared to tell us that Canterbury is death. I
wasn't the poppet blood on him.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
But if I can prove that the towel which you
so ketfully washed.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Once had blood chains, and that you were very careful
to remove those days that you will never prove. I
have scribbed, I have, I have viewed soap, I.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Have even boiled that power.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That is not even a suspicion of a blood stain. Life.
That is why you're wrong, my briend, wats the run
the water into the tub walloom. No matter how thoroughly
you try to remove a blood stain, it will never out.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Damn it spot.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yes, we only need enough moisten the cloth. Now I'll
drop a few drops of my famous pollution onto the cloth.
Here we are there, Well, all I can seals on
a pair blue street.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, it's undoes it with blood?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Blood?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Yes, victory of blue speaks truth and falibra that there
was blood on the towel.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And how does are you going to explain why you
were so anxious to remove these bloodstains? So I did
not do it. It was mister Turnbridge hit it the knife,
which is.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Knife, there was blood on it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Let me out of here. It's not my form.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
She's running away.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Watch them.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
You can't get him the take so there he goes
down the corner of them. You can't at the state,
don't worry. I'll get him.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Where the steam's sticking here? I've heard a stee my
hand before my fence, not getting here.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
The kind of the bench is welcomed.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Whatso leave the door open, let's come of its blocking
team out again?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Do I hand him? Shut the door? Don't you hear

Come one locked the door?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Tang? Come ay, let it down, Let us out here,
Let us in. We be knocked in by the fake No,

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Why are you here? Miss? Keep him with us? No,
that's just the voice through.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
The pen of the Then so you were behind this
murder too, progress I've called. Perhaps you would like to
know why I had to kill Lord Kenny. Yes, indeed
that would be very interesting.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Wood.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I found it necessary to start a feud between the
two grateful proposes because they're in danger for me in
coalis the past certain housing reforms that would have proved
very expensive to me. Well, what better way to break
up an incipient collaboration than by killing one ter heading
the other hand for his meth mating in genius, pyot you,
I pity you that have chosen that.

afraid when you finished with a steam bath you will
never need enough. No, you will be boiled a lat.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
He's right there.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
They come to steam palling out of the opening over
our head. Don't if you get reached that opening and
get stuffed some of these towers into the pipeline and
cut off the prow.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
There's no hoss getting that hot. Yeah wait, hi, had,

Speaker 1 (21:00):
As far as the boiler plate pressure pressure might Dear Watson,
measure to scrap foot of air circts quite a bit
of said.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
It to a point.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
The opening of this pipe is very small. All the same,
I'm afraid I I can't hold up a tuna Watson,
hold on home, hold on it must put fun it
much pressure.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
And you came through the explosion, all right, doctor woman.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I had a gnustic crack the homes and the bench
fell on man homes. The wind knocked out of him
between a even set a good shape. At the time
the public game pull us out from the wreckage.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Boy already wasn't by any chance trapped or killed or something.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Unfortunately no, but they found, however, quite dead.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I suppose the exploding boiler did for him.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
There was a bullet wound in the back of his head.
I'd all imagine that money out here wanted to make
sure that he would never appear in court.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Doctor I VI had to go through what you went
through in that Turkish Bath episode.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I think I'd never want to work on another case
with Holmes again, come to gel I certainly didn't feel
like that for a couple of hours, But by the
time we got back to Bigga Street and sat down
to one of Missus Hudson's good meals, well, I was
ready for anything that Holmes had in mind. You know,
there's nothing like a good dinner to make pure of.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
You were.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You have been listening to an Adventure in Crime with
Battle Rathbone as Jilock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Doctor Watson.
Basle, Rack Boom and Nigel Bruce in the New Adventures
of Gerlock Holmes. This rebroadcast is especially for the American
Armed Forces, and they're alive. Now let's join doctor Campbell
as he enters doctor Watson's study. Well, here we are
(00:50):
once again in doctor watson study. Come in, mister Campbell,
come in, sit down and let you a little bit
rooted over.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yes, it's such a beautiful spring evening.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I thought i'd walk over. In fact, it's so beautiful.
I had goggled most of the way, breaking in the
warm air and the smell of things going, until suddenly
I realized I was blamed. We going to be late
if I didn't hurry, So I ran the last three block. Yes,
I know how it is. This lovely spring weather is
the conducive to kindolence my household claim. When I go
(01:23):
out to do the spring planting, I spent most of
my time leaning on the spade, sniffing, listening to the birds.
I'm an unpleasant way to pass the time of day. Incidentally, yes,
the daylight to day, it's almost as a lex thing
as a Curtis fun which reminds me of a curious
and gory experience, it comes that I had in just
(01:43):
such an establishment some years ago. I sound suspiciously like the.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Gentleman who said sang or speaking.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Of explosions, mister Kimbuller, give a sifficalplain about the way
that the storyteller begins. Is yon anything you said than
in a bust beginning so quickly all out worth?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Where was I?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Or in a Turkish bath? If I'm not mistake the
Turkish fast.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The city assented well now to begin at the beginning.
It was in the hectic hair raising, and I might.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Even say the glorious days of.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
The great battle of wits between Sherlock Holmes and the
notorious Professor Mariarty que you might call a real battle.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Of the Titans la. Indeed it was, mister camp.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Things had been unusually hectic for homes for several months.
Mariarty had been particularly active, and homes had had many
sleepless nights. Finally, things had calmed down a bit, and
I tried to persuade him to take a badly needed holiday,
the net result being that he finally did agree to
have an afternoon off and accompany me to a Turkish bath.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It was a matter of fact both for Holmes.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
And I had a weakness for the Turkish bath over
the smoke. In the present attitude of the drying room,
I've often found him less reticent and more human than.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
That any other time.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
The heat knowledge is cast iron reserve. They got to
the cyclis the gurblone a CYCLI well, as I was saying,
on the upper floor of a certain the Fumberland Avenue establishment,
there is an isolated corner where two cutches lie side
by side.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
And it was on these that.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
We were lying. Owls that just shot his long sinewy
arm out of the towels which enveloped him, and was
fishing about in the inside pocket of his coat, which
hut beside him.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
That's putty. Where on earth did I put it? All?
Confound of thing? What them? I forgot to bring my tobacco?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Oh, relax ho, just relax, forget about tobacco, forget my archy,
and relaxed that we came in here.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
For berbal berbal burbo burbo. I am relaxed, my dear fellow.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I want to smoke one about the berbal burbo, something
like the peace and seclusion of it of a Turkish
bar mitter home make the Gussie the steam room attendant seems.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
To be paying you. Oh my goodness, now what and.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Then you haven't seen it?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
The chill up?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Home?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Here, here I am, God, here, I am. What do
you want? Come on, homes, it's good I find you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
There has been an accident, mister Holmes, a bad accident.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It's Lord Canterbury.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
He's in his dressing room covered it.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Got Oh and that's say I can't you want the
Dr Watson? You're not me.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I'll be with you in a minute. Girl.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Oh no, not doctor Watson. It's it's too late for
you work. He's dead, dead in six places.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Come in, look at mister Holmes, please dead. Yeah, mean
all right, I'm coming once.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Gracious.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
What's all the commotion?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Why can't we have a little piece of parts meaning
of this guy? Why are these two persons talking at
the top of the boy My dear mister, mister orwell,
whoever you are, I have never under the impression of
the Olympia bars but a church. Furthermore, my dear mister,
(05:08):
oh well, never mind the name Tunbridge. Frederick Stubert Tunbridge
a Liberal leader of the present Parliament, on which everyone knows,
who keeps the breast of the time I have at Tunbridge,
I do not concern myself which triviality is. Furthermore, as
I was saying before, being so rudely interrupted, you may
be interested to know that your his rival at Cantillbury,
the Conservative leader with whom you are known for publicly
(05:29):
locked forms on several occasions.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Or what if I have?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh what you done now, the old fool?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
If you mean Lord Canselburry, he's done. Absolutely, Yes, he
hasn't done anything and probably.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Never will again.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Oh what are you liverling about? Well, it seems that
Gus has just discovered your so we say, political bizarre
v dead in his dressing room. Oh you mean he's
had our heart to say?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
No, I don't mean anything of the kind. You've been
scabbed in.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
How many places did you say, Gus?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
In six places, mister Holt.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
But that's it's impossible.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I will that is. I talked to him not half
an hour ago. We had a little conference tuborough you understand.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
But while he was waiting for Gus to come in
and give him his better Quite all right, I left General.
Really are you sure? What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Of course I'm sure. Campbrally was alive and person like
a trooper. When I left him, I passed.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
The luss in the corridor and.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I came out of Campbrid' dressing room. He'll tell you
the old boy was alive on ticket. How aboudy girl,
it is true, I hear swearing, but from which dressing
room it comes I could not be sure.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Ivanger Forkin you.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Understand, Yes, indeed it's quite true. Of the dressing room,
balls are tim and that's.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Who is this person?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And why is he asking all these stupid questions? But
mister Turnbridge, this gentlemen, it's mister Sherlock Holmes heave Mus detective.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I've never heard of.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Him, got even me them well sn for Scotland Yard.
This is a matter of national important cry.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yes, I think you're quite right. You may as well.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Temperance, Textulu, Star, Guns, Gott and God will have to
be informed in any case. In the meantime, however, well,
I think I'll take a look.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
In the meantime, mister whoever you.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Are, I insist, but everything will left strictly alone. Very
well then, mister uh I thing I'm with Bob If
you insist, but you'll be losing valuable time. I most
emphatically do insist. Well, I'm getting out, think you o
apos if you even do help me on my gentlemen,
just a moment, if you please. I don't think it's
only fair to point out you all that suspicion is
(07:31):
bound to fall on anyone who leaves the for the authorities.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I had a chance to search and question it. Oh
you mean I have to be silent, right or anyone
all all those times you seem to have stirred up
quite a hornet's nest, there wasn't.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And I've brought you in here for the rest. Wells
dad yskedy man, say mister elmsright from the back. Yes,
not once, but six times, deep ferocious thrusts, quite unnecessarily
(08:07):
brutal and if I may say.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So, bloody.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, the place looks like a chull says whoever did
the deed must have been drenched in blood. Might tell
your men's search a bloodstained towels or garments.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Will you stand?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yes? Well, I don't think up anything that's got blood,
and it never you fear, mister Ellams. I've ordered a
search of everybody and everything on the predace. That's not
going to be be very popular with mister Tunbridge Jho.
I wouldn't care if he was the Archbishop of Canterbury.
When Scotland Yard says search everybody, we search everybody. Besides,
(08:41):
everybody knows he and the corpse here are bitter enemies.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I bought my cat and dog.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
How long would you say been.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Dead, mister Elms Oh, I don't know about.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Let me say nine and a half to play forty
minutes to get you to head a stride and Canterbury
had been dead.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Let me see over half an hour when guns found him.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
A guess did the dorman notice who left the establishment
during the half before.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
The body was found?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yes, sir only or mister Welford. And he's two sheep
and they're excited to do a crime like this. He
was the door to Lord Camperburry's plasing room locked. A no,
and how does it happen that he lay here for
over half and hour before anyone found it, particularly as
if he was done on the books from massage half
an hour before he was found. I thought you was asleep,
(09:31):
Lord Cantleberry. Sometimes he liked a little nap after he
was an esteem room and he didn't want I should
disturb him.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh, that's very interesting.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Then you did come in this room one before you
realize Lord temper Burry was.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Dead, Yes, mister Hobbe, but he was lying there, so
please for.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Peaceful yes, on his back, yes, sir, just like re
found him.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
It wasn't until the second time I come in I
see he has his eyes open. And the places will
we say, all scattered with blood.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
It was so dark they've shed or drawn. It was
not easy to see anything if you don't look close.
Even then, some people are unable to observe.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
The most obvious facts. And what might you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Or just an observation in the strand just a gratuitous observation.
Come in well with us, what's up? We takes the
place from top to bottom, just like you said, inspector,
And there's no blood stains nowhere except on this sir.
What's that? A pocket knife, sir, large size, and there's
been wiped off, but there's still some bloodstains.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
On the blide.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
We found it in the locker of the bloke nine
or tunbrid does America start?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Don't go up the de bend with it?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yes, sir, you would say there were no blood stains
anywhere except on this knife.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Not a sign of a Bloodstein nowhere. You searched that.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Alden hampers, dolls and lockers are the customers of their clothes.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Oh, yes, we sached everything.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
There's not a sign of blood anywhere.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
But I'll that their weapon.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Amazing ever enough for me, We see it is the
murder weapon a pers and in Tumbridge's locker. Bring him
in here, Willisson, We'll have him on the carpet. Yes,
right away. I knew he was the murderer from the beginning.
Who has the motive for killing canterb This chat Toumbidge,
who had the opportunity of this check Temblidge. He admits
(11:16):
himself he had a talk with the deceased and they
had words. Where did you see if Dunstein knife found nowhere?
Back in the this mister Tumbridge's locker. Hes took his
face from murders and had the paper weapon in his
own locker. Tumbridge isn't as stupid as that mustra now
and Margaret is there, Look, this is an outrage. Keeping
(11:36):
the hair like this or going to realize I had influence? Well,
why at least have been put on my clothes? Instead
of calling him about, I'll complains the athologists.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I'll have you dismissed all of your old Maybe.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You will, sir, and then again maybe you won't. And
first of all you'll answer some questions. Have you ever
seen this knife before? For a knife your yes, of course,
it's mine. I've heard it all my life. Used to
take it fishing well as a boy. No, indeed, explained
it's side. Then now I use it to open my letters.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Oh you too?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Are you sure that who you.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Use it for? Yes, of course?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
So why are they easier?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Blood stains on it?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Blooding?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, wha, yeah and near and yeah, oh well, don't.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Shoot touch it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
We don't want to destroy any possible finger prints. But
if it's my my fingerprints are already on it.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yes, he's right, palistran and further.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Them or that staines doesn't look like blood to me,
it's it's not read it of its rushed.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
As a mental fact. If a stain is a nice
blood red, it's fairly certain it's not blood. Now, this
particular stains rightly.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
A particular stage of Scott and Yard mystery. Yeah, so
don't forget my della start. I invented the first in
terrible test for blood stain. And it's quite true, star
you did. Yes, indeed my test, and my test is infallible.
It works on blood that is new or on blood
that is old. I discovered the first pree agent which
is precipitated by hemoglobin. And mister I'm sorry, but Scotland
(13:01):
Yard doesn't any time for lectures.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Will believe in action.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Now, mister tumbrig, it's my duty to take you into custody,
and it's also my duty to warn you that anything
that you may say may be.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Used in evidence against you.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Anything I say, if you realize whom you're arresting. I
am a leading figure in British politics.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So was this fellow?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Lysia stand with your knife which has still got bloodstains
on it, and a lad if you'll pardon me saying so.
In this case it's not the bloodstains that are in evidence,
but being blood stages that are not in.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Evidence, which is the significant factor.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Oh what do you mean by that? It's simpler that
it would have been rather difficult for mister Tumbish, who
have committed the murderers glory as this one about having
bloodstains on the towel he's wearing, or on the clothes
which are still in his locker, or what was to
prevent him from copying a towel outside Lord Canterbury, reflecting
them going in and knighting him in the back, then
speaking down to the shower rooms not more than two
(14:00):
eighty feet down the corridor, and washing away the evidence
me going round about it in the nude. Certainly not
most certainly not, sir, Remember my dear Estradas who dragged
one of Britain's leaders away to jail. That it might
have been possible for him to stab it anymy in
a fit of temper, but he would never have dreamed
of running up and down the corridors in his firstitude.
Oh let me see, I'm afraidis had to look for
(14:23):
another explanation of a missing bloodstains.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Homes.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's late. Everyone else's left the Turkish.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Farm, everyone but the faithful girl.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh a head on't mime head tonight that we have
by my house, Saur Kraud. I don't like our crowd. Besides,
I've got to stay in lock up and you have
to wait till we find the blood.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Things yet somewhere. That's why I sent home for my
famous Benzantine poxide. Next yup, and we're on the furniture.
There is a towel or linen or something that has
the blood.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Take would we've been through the towels and the linen
a dozen times? Homes no silent blood. Furthermore, according to
Sabas Chicklists, there.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Are no towels or any linen.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Missy. Even glass which which he washes himself.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Is here on the line. Wasn't it any of your own?
Do you?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And not mister Holmes. Everything go out of the laundry.
I wash my own because I'd like to.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Be fresh and clean.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Twice a day I watch noon and evening. Yeah, the
evening's job hasn't been done yet, eh.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I know this one. I watched this known it's my
towel from this morning. Oh yeah, it's my tow washed
this known but.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
It Temperbury was murders in a big living afternoon about three.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Pretty now it's now after seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Let you see Watson, this towel.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Don't you see?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Well, I don't know, mesive glassd thing.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
The towels as clean.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
As a whistle, but was not dry if it had
been washed at new washed at noon. It would be
dry now, but it's still damp. Yes, it was washed
after Canterbury's dead. Costs to move the bloodstains.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Guess that's why.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
You didn't go fop a death in soil half an
hour after Canterbury had died. Oh no, you don't have
time to remove the blood chains.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
But that's not true.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Besides, you can't prove anything. The power is clean now,
there are no mask, no staying. But there a fact
that there were no stains on a cus that made
me suspect you that Canterbury was found lying on his back.
And yet when you were informeders that he had been stabbed,
you were quite definite about the number of times that
he'd been stablished in the back.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Says how did you know that? Gus, Well, I lift
him up.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And I look, course youre getting at home. He couldn't
have done that. No one could examined the cops without
getting blood on the web.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Sorry, every one.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Guys appeared to tell us that Canterbury is death. I
wasn't the poppet blood on him.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
But if I can prove that the towel which you
so ketfully washed.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Once had blood chains, and that you were very careful
to remove those days that you will never prove. I
have scribbed, I have, I have viewed soap, I.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Have even boiled that power.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That is not even a suspicion of a blood stain. Life.
That is why you're wrong, my briend, wats the run
the water into the tub walloom. No matter how thoroughly
you try to remove a blood stain, it will never out.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Damn it spot.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yes, we only need enough moisten the cloth. Now I'll
drop a few drops of my famous pollution onto the cloth.
Here we are there, Well, all I can seals on
a pair blue street.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, it's undoes it with blood?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Blood?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Yes, victory of blue speaks truth and falibra that there
was blood on the towel.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And how does are you going to explain why you
were so anxious to remove these bloodstains? So I did
not do it. It was mister Turnbridge hit it the knife,
which is.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Knife, there was blood on it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Let me out of here. It's not my form.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
She's running away.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Watch them.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
You can't get him the take so there he goes
down the corner of them. You can't at the state,
don't worry. I'll get him.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Where the steam's sticking here? I've heard a stee my
hand before my fence, not getting here.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
The kind of the bench is welcomed.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Whatso leave the door open, let's come of its blocking
team out again?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Do I hand him? Shut the door? Don't you hear
that the door?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Come one locked the door?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Tang? Come ay, let it down, Let us out here,
Let us in. We be knocked in by the fake No,
you're rock. It was no mistake, my defend.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Why are you here? Miss? Keep him with us? No,
that's just the voice through.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
The pen of the Then so you were behind this
murder too, progress I've called. Perhaps you would like to
know why I had to kill Lord Kenny. Yes, indeed
that would be very interesting.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Wood.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I found it necessary to start a feud between the
two grateful proposes because they're in danger for me in
coalis the past certain housing reforms that would have proved
very expensive to me. Well, what better way to break
up an incipient collaboration than by killing one ter heading
the other hand for his meth mating in genius, pyot you,
I pity you that have chosen that.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
It comes it to look job.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Comes not happen, but he pulls scuff and yarn. Mister Hope,
it was just my ill luck that you should be
on the premises when they accidentally pay Thank you for
the compliment. Oh, however it's a mistake which I am
sure Guts will be able to direct the part. Well, Oh,
very simple.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I have send him to.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Put more coals on the pipe any moment now there
