Speaker 1 (00:00):
If someone from another country were to ask you to
explain why the American economic system is the best in
the world, what would you say. That's a question particularly
important at this time, because our economic system is being
attacked by other nations. Here's something most of us know
that the American economic system has brought greater material means
for happiness to more people than any other the world
(00:20):
has ever known. We've been able to outproduce every other
nation and to enjoy a steadily rising standard of living.
Remember that when someone attacks the American economic system, just
remind him that nowhere else in the world would he
benefit so much or enjoy a greater measure of prosperity.

Inner Sanctum Mysteries brought to you by the American Broadcasting
Company Tonight No Rest for the Dead, Storry Arnold, Most.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Good evening, friends of Leo Nur Sanctum. Yes, it's your
old friend the host, again, inviting you through the blood
stained portals of the creaking door through which so many
people have entered and so few return. Well, friends, I've
(01:34):
just got back from a vacation. I've had a most
delirious time.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Lovely. We rented a little haunted.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
House in the country, right next to a cemetery, so
that the little ones could play tag around the tombstalls.
Did you ever play golf for a couple of goolds
by moonlight? The only thing you have to be careful
about is that they like to make holes in one.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You guessed it. You're the on and now for tonight's journey. Interfear,
no rest for the day.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Got a stranglehold on your nerves. Remember if you're the
jumping type, don't sit near windows.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
All right?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Then gather clothes and we'll hear. Gordon Wells tell us
his story in his own words.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
My luck was running high on the night that I
went to see Bruce Craig. A raging storm kept traffic
off the roads. In fact, I didn't see a single
car all the way to his house, and I rang
the bell. I waited for a moment. No one answered,
and then I heard Bruce calls. The house was empty,
(02:52):
apparently the servants had gone. You see, these details were
important because I knew I might have to murder Bruce.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Is that you, Gordon? Yes, I'm in the bedroom for Bruce. Bruce.
What are you doing in bed?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Never mind?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Sit down? I thought I heard you gasp.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
He'll be so concerned about me. I'd be all right
if only.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
This pain would go away.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You're sick.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
You need a doctor, and I'm sent for the doctor.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I had better ring for a servant. Maybe a drink
would help.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
The butler's gone and the cook never showed up, so
there's no one here but us.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Gordon just as well.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
I'm not sure that I want anyone to overhear what
I have to say. You must have guessed why I
sent for you. Oh no, Bruce, and I'll tell you.
I've always regarded you as the closest friend I've ever had.
I've given you a chance to make something of yourself,
though you were nothing but a worthless gambler when I
met you.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I've always appreciated what you did for me.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Bruce, Yes, who showed your appreciation by stealing ten thousand
dollars from me?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
I've been checking the books, and I've suspected you for
some time, but I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Are you going to deny that you stole the money?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Have you told the police about this? No? Not yet.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
What did you do with the money.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I took a chance on a few things, when I
lost you gambled it away.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Yes, yes, it's just a matter of luck. Your luck
wasn't very good, Gordon. I'm going to phone for the police.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh mat no, if you think you.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Help me somewhat, don't gone help.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
I think his closed ground his throat and he started
to arise from a bit. I didn't relax my hope
for one instance, falling suddenly, his eyes closed while in convulsion,
the torse to his bond.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Bruce managed to ride free for a second, and he
collapsed on the floor. I kneeled next to him. There
was nothing more than had to be done. Bruce was dead.
(05:32):
And and wake up.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
There's someone at the door, probably the police. Yes, yes,
I want you to do exactly as I tell you.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Anne.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
They asked you where I was. You would tell him
that I didn't leave this house tonight.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Oh but you did, Dear, You went to see Bruce'll
be a fool.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Bruce is dead, dead, he's been murdered. You were asleep
when I came, and I I didn't want to tell you, Cordon,
did you did you care? You'll tell him I was here.
You'll tell him I never left this room.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Gordon.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
You shut up, You can't get away with this.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
It's gonna be all Rice. My luck's good. Come on
just a moment.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
Oh, hello, Wells, I I didn't mean to get you
out of bed like this. Oh, good evening, missus, Wells,
good evening. I hope I haven't frightened you.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
That's all right, mister Parrish. I I didn't know what
to expect.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I've just come from Bruce Craig's house.
Speaker 9 (06:37):
You live close by. I thought you should be the
first one to know Craig is dead.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
When did you find out?
Speaker 9 (06:46):
I got a call from his doctor an hour ago.
He didn't have any relatives around here. Doctor knew I
was his attorney, and he got in touch with me.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
All this. This is terrible news, Parish. It's hard to
tell you what Bruce meant to me. He was more
than just a friend.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yes, yes, I knew that.
Speaker 9 (07:04):
When I drew up his will, He's left everything to you,
to me, Yes, his entire estate. There's only one condition.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Oh what's that?
Speaker 9 (07:14):
Oh, Bruce apparently had a brother somewhere. If this man
turns up within forty eight hours, he'll be this whole beneficiar.
I see, But you don't have to worry. The brother
hasn't been heard from for twenty years. He's probably dead. Well,
will you take care of the funeral arrangements. I'll help
you if you wish it.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
There's something I don't understand, what the funeral arrangements.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I thought the police would take the body.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
The police, Well, yes, in cases like this.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
Oh no, the police don't take over when a man
dies in his own home, unless, of course, it's murder.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
Oh, oh good, heavens, I guess I was so upset.
I forgot to tell you Bruce Craig died of a
heart attack.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Heart attack? Are you sure?
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Doctor was quite certain of it?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Why? What did you expect it was?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
We were in the funeral parlor the next day. Everyone
had gone but Anne and myself.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Good, what's the matter happened? Look there, that man? What
about him? Craig?
Speaker 8 (08:23):
Bruce Craig.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
I looked at the man who just walked in. It
was Bruce. He was standing in the dim shadows. I
watched him as he walked over to the open coffin,
and suddenly I realized.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
That man is Bruce Craig's brother.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Bruce never told me anything about him. He's apparently a twin.
And you realize what this.
Speaker 8 (08:48):
Means he'll inherit the estate. Yes, well, perhaps it's just
as well. What can you do?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I have to do something?
Speaker 8 (08:57):
Oh God, now please, let's forget the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
It was just bad luck.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
My luck can't run out now if he inherits the estate,
I go to jail. What do you say you'll find
out about the money that?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I what? Man, and.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Go to the car. Turn on the motor. Wait there,
so as I tell you you love me at all,
you've got to help me. The man stood near the coffin,
looking at the body inside it lost in force. I
looked at his face, and I looked at the.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Face of my friend in the coffin.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
They were identical, except that one was alive and the
other had the calm.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Repose of death. What do you want? Nothing? There is? Brother?
Aren't you? Who are you? Gordon Wells? I was his
closest friend. We are you? You are Dennis Craig? An't
you excuse me? I better? I got a lot of
Wait a minute, I'm leaving too. May I go with you? Please?
Speaker 6 (10:04):
I'd rather go along, But all right, come.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Along, No, no, go go this way with him. What
does it lead to the alley, It's easier to reach
your car. Will you be at the cemetery? When is
the burial? Early tomorrow morning, the alley was dark. I'd
been counting on that.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
The man beside me walked along quietly.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
But seemed wary, suspicious, as though he could read the
thoughts in my mind. It was then that I noticed
some paving bricks piled on the side where they were
pairing the road in the alley.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I stopped.
Speaker 11 (10:40):
He seemed to sense what I wanted to do. What
are you up to nothing? Why did you come over
to me before? Well, isn't it only natural since he
was your brother? I never said he was my brother,
it's true.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But let go my arm. You're not gonna get me.
For a moment, I was dizzy from his blow, but
in the darkness I saw him running down the alley.
Suddenly I saw his body shot into the air, and
I heard him scream. I saw him stumble and fall.
He lay still for a moment. I picked up one
(11:14):
of the paving bricks and quickly came up to him.
He was on his back, unconscious. I raised my hand.
His eyes open. Oh no, I'm not Dennis crazy?
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Goodon? What did you do?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Open the back door? Go and open it. I gotta
get his body in the car out shout to stand
open it.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Right?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Not get going?
Speaker 8 (11:42):
Where should I drive home? But what are you going
to do with him?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Go out of the back of the house, hand all sing,
all right, go out. You may have to help me,
help you. You're in this as deeply as I am.
I open the door for me, and I'm carrying him out.
The lights off and follow me.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
But Gooden, how do you expect to get rid of him?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You know the abandoned dry well? Yes, I want to
find him there no one will ever know. And here
we are stand aside. I'm gonna lift the cover. Turn
around if you don't want to see. No, I'll replace
(12:33):
the cover. One of these days I'll seal it up.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Godon, you'll never get away with it, never'll be a fool.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
You see, everything's going my way. He even tripped in
the alley when he got away from me. You're not
a soul source nobody nobody knows about it but you.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
But why did you have to kill him? Why you
got away with it?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
What is?
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Why weren't you grateful? Why did you have to do it.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Hysterical, you're losing your head. Stop it that nothing it
came from.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Couldn't have He's dead, nothing, she may have heard us
and animal in the woods.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
That's all. Everything went perfectly. I knew it would. Nothing
can go wrong when you have a run of luck
the way I did.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I inherited Bruce Craig's estate, I took over the business.
I was wealthier than I'd ever been. I think I
could have even been happy if it weren't her hand.
You see, I could forget, but she couldn't. Then one night,
about eight weeks after Bruce Craig died, we were at
(13:59):
home to yet.
Speaker 8 (14:03):
Gordon. Yes, can't we go out tonight?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
And there's a storm.
Speaker 8 (14:09):
Yes, I know there's a storm, but it's only a
few minutes into time.
Speaker 12 (14:14):
We can see a movie, anything, anything would be better
than stay.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Man, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 8 (14:21):
I can't stand this house anymore.
Speaker 12 (14:24):
We haven't been out of it for one night since
Bruce Craig died. We haven't been out because you're afraid,
afraid to leave. You're afraid someone might discover what's in
that abandoned will, And you're afraid of me because.
Speaker 8 (14:36):
I'm the only one who knows that you're a murder.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Be quiet.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
You hate the very sound of that word, don't you well?
You are a murderer. Murderer, murderer.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Hennight, Who's that?
Speaker 12 (14:50):
I don't know, But whoever it is, they'll welcome. I
don't think I can take another night alone with you.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
I'll answers, just a moment, good evening. I didn't.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And and what is it? What's the matter. We'll go
on speak. I'll open the door.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
No, don't, don't let him in.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
It's Bruce Craig. You're on your mind.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
He was standing there.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
He wanted to the door.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
No, don't.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
There's no one there. There's no one, no car or anything.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
It's gone away. You'll go back, I know he will.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
And listen to me. He won't be back. You're imagining things.
Speaker 12 (15:39):
Oh gods, he was real, as real as you are.
And why shouldn't he come back.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
It was on a night like this that you killed him.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Bruce Craig is dead, he's been buried.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Then it might have been his brother, his twin, Dennis.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It couldn't be. Do you understand and what I'm saying
it couldn't be.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
Yes, I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
And and come with me.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Where where are you going to take me?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
You'll see in a moment. Just come with me to
the garage. I want to get a pick a flashlights.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
No, God, no, don't, and.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
We're only going to be abandoned. Well, well, yes, there's
something I want to show you.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
No, I don't want to see you.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Better come with me.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
And this is very important, perhaps a matter of life.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Or Dad finally broken through the concrete on a moment.
I removed the cover.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Good and why are you doing that?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
You may not realize it, but I'm doing it for
your sake. And now I'll have any flashlights. It's here,
just as I saw it.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
And look down there, look down the well. No you must,
I want you to see the body. I want you
to prove to yourself that this man is dead.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Come here, let on look one look looked down there?
Speaker 10 (17:37):
Oh, now will you believe that he's dead? Yes?
Speaker 8 (17:47):
I believe it.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I believe it.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Good evening, missus Wells, Who are you? I just wanted
to speak to you?
Speaker 8 (18:08):
But who are you? Why do you keep that scarf
over your face?
Speaker 6 (18:10):
You'll find out presently. Where is your husband?
Speaker 8 (18:15):
He's downstairs in the cellar.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Does he still think you're losing your mind? Missus Wells?
Speaker 8 (18:21):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
He hasn't accused you of having any hallucinations. In the
last two weeks. Looking into the world seems to have
helped you a great deal.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
What do you know?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Don't you realize who I am now?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
No?
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Perhaps if I removed the scarf, you'll recognize me.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Greek good night, Missus Wells, gone.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
On, not just goodness. I know what's been in your mind.
I know what you've been planning. That's why I'm afraid to.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Tell you this. What are you afraid to tell me?
Speaker 8 (19:09):
I saw him again, Bruce Craig.
Speaker 12 (19:13):
Bruce Craig or his brother, I don't know which one,
but he was standing as close.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
To me as you are, not he and he spoke
to me.
Speaker 12 (19:23):
I know I'm risking my life by telling you this,
but I can't help it.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
I must make you.
Speaker 12 (19:27):
Understand something strange is happening, something you must believe.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
You do believe me, don't you, Cordon. I'm not losing
my mind.
Speaker 12 (19:40):
You can trust me. I won't give you a secret away.
I only told you this because I wanted to help
you Gordon, Gordon, what are you going to do?
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Tell me?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Er just decided what to do. Anne, No, you you would.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
You can't. You can't kill me like you killed the others.
You can't. I've been loyal, I've been faithful.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You can't murder me, murder you.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
All I want to do, dear, is take you away
on a trip.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Trip.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yes, back to Canada, your hometown. You can see your
old friends, take a long rest, regain your health.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
You said you'd like to get away. You would like that,
and wouldn't you? Oh?
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Yes, good, Yes, it should be wonderful to get away
from here. Hello.
Speaker 12 (20:49):
Oh yes, Janet, I'm so glad you called back. Well,
Gordon and I are leaving tomorrow. No, I won't have
a chance to see you. We're going back car early
in the morning.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Yes I know.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I held a knife behind my back as I approached Anne.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
The way she looked that night made the task I'd
set for myself even more difficult. She'd been as happy
as a child ever since I told her we were
going away, and now she turned to me, radiant smile
on her face. Yeah, she looked lovelier than I'd ever
seen her before.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
That was Janet she sends her regard to you.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Have you told the people in town we're going away? Yes?
Speaker 12 (21:27):
I have, And I paid the grocer in the milk company, everyone, Lucie,
I checked them off on my lips. Down.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
You murdered a very efficient one yours.
Speaker 13 (21:35):
Yes, I know, Oh, God, Knife, I don't think you
really understand what this trip means to me. We'll both
be able to make a new start away from here,
away from this place. Maybe we'll even be able to forget.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Because I love you, darling.
Speaker 13 (21:58):
Oh yeah, gotten that.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
At nice?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yes, But God, I thought I know what you thought. Anne.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
You mean the trip was just part of your plasure.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Mary, Anne, I don't want to do this, but I must.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
But why why? I'd never give you a way. I
haven't betrayed you, even in the slightest way, have I?
Why must?
Speaker 11 (22:27):
No?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
No, the Knight, God God.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
The first thrust killed her. When she fell to the floor,
I made certain she was dead. The rest was all planned.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You see.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I didn't want a murder, and I was forced to
in order to protect my own life. She would have
given me away without realizing it, because I was convinced
that her mind was gone. I stooped to pick her up,
and just then I heard someone at the door. For
a moment, I felt paralyzed. I looked at my it
was almost midnight.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Who could it be? Quickly I put a body behind
the couch and I put a chair over the bloodstain
on the floor. I hid the knife, and then then
I went to the door. Hello well Craig. Yes, no, no, no,
can't be.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Just as your wife told you, Wells, you're not imagining,
but you you're wondering just.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Who I am? Yes, I'm Dennis Craig. But that's impossible,
is it? You don't mind?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
There's a phone call on must make phone call?
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Yes, hello, operator, Call the police immediately, tell them to
come to the home of Gordon Wells on Glendale Lane.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Tell them that mister Wells has just murdered his wife.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Craig, How did you?
Speaker 5 (23:51):
How did I get here?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yes? How do you think? I don't know? You were dead?
Was I I killed you? I saw your body in
the well, so you did? How did you come back?
That's something I'm going to let you wonder about.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
During those last few hours before they electrocute you.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Why did you come here to show you that.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Your wife wasn't lying? Now was she insane?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
You're alive.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
I wouldn't try to get that knife if I were
you gun.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Yes, I think you'd still prefer to take a chance
with the police rather than risk certain death.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
From one of my bullets. You overplayed your hand. What
makes you think so.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
You didn't have to murder me? You would have collected
every penny my brother left without killing me. I could
never have claimed a thing for my brother's will. I
happened to be an escape convict. If the police ever
found me, i'd go to prison for something like thirty years.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I really didn't have to know.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
As I said, you didn't have to do a thing.
I would have walked out of that funeral and you
would never have seen me again, as long as you live.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
A man who believes in luck.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
That's very funny, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
It's funny, And so now here we are, you'll have
to go to the chair for murdering your wife.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I guess you'd call that tough luck.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Oh, this can't be real. When I look down at
that well, when I forced hand to look down, we
both saw you. We both saw your face, and you
were dead. There are the police. I'll have to go
I'm going with you. Look gonna let them find me here.
I'm afraid you're wrong about that my plate.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
You won't be able to get away now, well with
that leg.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Why why did you do this? Because you're a murderer
at heart? Wells you had it coming. I think your
luck's run out.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
He was, My luck had run out.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
But the trial, I'd tried to tell that my wife
was murdered by the same man who came into the
house and shot me, but no one believed me. I
still don't know whether Dennis Craig was alive or dead.
Perhaps he was alive when I put him in the
abandoned well, and then he could have escaped and dug
up his brother's body and substituted it for his own.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Sure that's the only way he could have done it.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
But then again, perhaps perhaps he did return from the dead.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
I'll never know.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I guess this should teach Gordon not to believe in luck,
which brings us right to the moral of our story,
which I found inscribed in blood and an old lace doily.
It reads, never slaughter your wife while she's cooking dinner.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
It's liable to ruin you meal.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
And remember if a couple of homicidal maniacs come into
your room in the middle of the night to murder You.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Don't be scared to death.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Do what I do, say nuts and bold. The night's

If someone from another country were to ask you to
explain why the American economic system is the best in
the world, what would you say. That's a question particularly
important at this time, because our economic system is being
attacked by other nations. Here's something most of us know
that the American economic system has brought greater material means
for happiness to more people than any other the world
(00:20):
has ever known. We've been able to outproduce every other
nation and to enjoy a steadily rising standard of living.
Remember that when someone attacks the American economic system, just
remind him that nowhere else in the world would he
benefit so much or enjoy a greater measure of prosperity.
(00:51):
Inner Sanctum Mysteries brought to you by the American Broadcasting
Company Tonight No Rest for the Dead, Storry Arnold, Most.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Good evening, friends of Leo Nur Sanctum. Yes, it's your
old friend the host, again, inviting you through the blood
stained portals of the creaking door through which so many
people have entered and so few return. Well, friends, I've
(01:34):
just got back from a vacation. I've had a most
delirious time.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Lovely. We rented a little haunted.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
House in the country, right next to a cemetery, so
that the little ones could play tag around the tombstalls.
Did you ever play golf for a couple of goolds
by moonlight? The only thing you have to be careful
about is that they like to make holes in one.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You guessed it. You're the on and now for tonight's journey. Interfear,
no rest for the day.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Got a stranglehold on your nerves. Remember if you're the
jumping type, don't sit near windows.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
All right?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Then gather clothes and we'll hear. Gordon Wells tell us
his story in his own words.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
My luck was running high on the night that I
went to see Bruce Craig. A raging storm kept traffic
off the roads. In fact, I didn't see a single
car all the way to his house, and I rang
the bell. I waited for a moment. No one answered,
and then I heard Bruce calls. The house was empty,
(02:52):
apparently the servants had gone. You see, these details were
important because I knew I might have to murder Bruce.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Is that you, Gordon? Yes, I'm in the bedroom for Bruce. Bruce.
What are you doing in bed?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Never mind?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Sit down? I thought I heard you gasp.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
He'll be so concerned about me. I'd be all right
if only.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
This pain would go away.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You're sick.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
You need a doctor, and I'm sent for the doctor.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I had better ring for a servant. Maybe a drink
would help.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
The butler's gone and the cook never showed up, so
there's no one here but us.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Gordon just as well.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
I'm not sure that I want anyone to overhear what
I have to say. You must have guessed why I
sent for you. Oh no, Bruce, and I'll tell you.
I've always regarded you as the closest friend I've ever had.
I've given you a chance to make something of yourself,
though you were nothing but a worthless gambler when I
met you.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I've always appreciated what you did for me.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Bruce, Yes, who showed your appreciation by stealing ten thousand
dollars from me?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
I've been checking the books, and I've suspected you for
some time, but I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Are you going to deny that you stole the money?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Have you told the police about this? No? Not yet.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
What did you do with the money.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I took a chance on a few things, when I
lost you gambled it away.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Yes, yes, it's just a matter of luck. Your luck
wasn't very good, Gordon. I'm going to phone for the police.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh mat no, if you think you.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Help me somewhat, don't gone help.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
I think his closed ground his throat and he started
to arise from a bit. I didn't relax my hope
for one instance, falling suddenly, his eyes closed while in convulsion,
the torse to his bond.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Bruce managed to ride free for a second, and he
collapsed on the floor. I kneeled next to him. There
was nothing more than had to be done. Bruce was dead.
(05:32):
And and wake up.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
There's someone at the door, probably the police. Yes, yes,
I want you to do exactly as I tell you.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Anne.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
They asked you where I was. You would tell him
that I didn't leave this house tonight.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Oh but you did, Dear, You went to see Bruce'll
be a fool.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Bruce is dead, dead, he's been murdered. You were asleep
when I came, and I I didn't want to tell you, Cordon,
did you did you care? You'll tell him I was here.
You'll tell him I never left this room.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Gordon.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
You shut up, You can't get away with this.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
It's gonna be all Rice. My luck's good. Come on
just a moment.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
Oh, hello, Wells, I I didn't mean to get you
out of bed like this. Oh, good evening, missus, Wells,
good evening. I hope I haven't frightened you.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
That's all right, mister Parrish. I I didn't know what
to expect.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I've just come from Bruce Craig's house.
Speaker 9 (06:37):
You live close by. I thought you should be the
first one to know Craig is dead.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
When did you find out?
Speaker 9 (06:46):
I got a call from his doctor an hour ago.
He didn't have any relatives around here. Doctor knew I
was his attorney, and he got in touch with me.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
All this. This is terrible news, Parish. It's hard to
tell you what Bruce meant to me. He was more
than just a friend.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yes, yes, I knew that.
Speaker 9 (07:04):
When I drew up his will, He's left everything to you,
to me, Yes, his entire estate. There's only one condition.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Oh what's that?
Speaker 9 (07:14):
Oh, Bruce apparently had a brother somewhere. If this man
turns up within forty eight hours, he'll be this whole beneficiar.
I see, But you don't have to worry. The brother
hasn't been heard from for twenty years. He's probably dead. Well,
will you take care of the funeral arrangements. I'll help
you if you wish it.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
There's something I don't understand, what the funeral arrangements.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I thought the police would take the body.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
The police, Well, yes, in cases like this.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
Oh no, the police don't take over when a man
dies in his own home, unless, of course, it's murder.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
Oh, oh good, heavens, I guess I was so upset.
I forgot to tell you Bruce Craig died of a
heart attack.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Heart attack? Are you sure?
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Doctor was quite certain of it?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Why? What did you expect it was?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
We were in the funeral parlor the next day. Everyone
had gone but Anne and myself.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Good, what's the matter happened? Look there, that man? What
about him? Craig?
Speaker 8 (08:23):
Bruce Craig.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
I looked at the man who just walked in. It
was Bruce. He was standing in the dim shadows. I
watched him as he walked over to the open coffin,
and suddenly I realized.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
That man is Bruce Craig's brother.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Bruce never told me anything about him. He's apparently a twin.
And you realize what this.
Speaker 8 (08:48):
Means he'll inherit the estate. Yes, well, perhaps it's just
as well. What can you do?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I have to do something?
Speaker 8 (08:57):
Oh God, now please, let's forget the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
It was just bad luck.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
My luck can't run out now if he inherits the estate,
I go to jail. What do you say you'll find
out about the money that?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I what? Man, and.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Go to the car. Turn on the motor. Wait there,
so as I tell you you love me at all,
you've got to help me. The man stood near the coffin,
looking at the body inside it lost in force. I
looked at his face, and I looked at the.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Face of my friend in the coffin.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
They were identical, except that one was alive and the
other had the calm.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Repose of death. What do you want? Nothing? There is? Brother?
Aren't you? Who are you? Gordon Wells? I was his
closest friend. We are you? You are Dennis Craig? An't
you excuse me? I better? I got a lot of
Wait a minute, I'm leaving too. May I go with you? Please?
Speaker 6 (10:04):
I'd rather go along, But all right, come.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Along, No, no, go go this way with him. What
does it lead to the alley, It's easier to reach
your car. Will you be at the cemetery? When is
the burial? Early tomorrow morning, the alley was dark. I'd
been counting on that.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
The man beside me walked along quietly.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
But seemed wary, suspicious, as though he could read the
thoughts in my mind. It was then that I noticed
some paving bricks piled on the side where they were
pairing the road in the alley.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I stopped.
Speaker 11 (10:40):
He seemed to sense what I wanted to do. What
are you up to nothing? Why did you come over
to me before? Well, isn't it only natural since he
was your brother? I never said he was my brother,
it's true.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But let go my arm. You're not gonna get me.
For a moment, I was dizzy from his blow, but
in the darkness I saw him running down the alley.
Suddenly I saw his body shot into the air, and
I heard him scream. I saw him stumble and fall.
He lay still for a moment. I picked up one
(11:14):
of the paving bricks and quickly came up to him.
He was on his back, unconscious. I raised my hand.
His eyes open. Oh no, I'm not Dennis crazy?
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Goodon? What did you do?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Open the back door? Go and open it. I gotta
get his body in the car out shout to stand
open it.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Right?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Not get going?
Speaker 8 (11:42):
Where should I drive home? But what are you going
to do with him?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Go out of the back of the house, hand all sing,
all right, go out. You may have to help me,
help you. You're in this as deeply as I am.
I open the door for me, and I'm carrying him out.
The lights off and follow me.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
But Gooden, how do you expect to get rid of him?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
You know the abandoned dry well? Yes, I want to
find him there no one will ever know. And here
we are stand aside. I'm gonna lift the cover. Turn
around if you don't want to see. No, I'll replace
(12:33):
the cover. One of these days I'll seal it up.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Godon, you'll never get away with it, never'll be a fool.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
You see, everything's going my way. He even tripped in
the alley when he got away from me. You're not
a soul source nobody nobody knows about it but you.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
But why did you have to kill him? Why you
got away with it?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
What is?
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Why weren't you grateful? Why did you have to do it.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Hysterical, you're losing your head. Stop it that nothing it
came from.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Couldn't have He's dead, nothing, she may have heard us
and animal in the woods.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
That's all. Everything went perfectly. I knew it would. Nothing
can go wrong when you have a run of luck
the way I did.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I inherited Bruce Craig's estate, I took over the business.
I was wealthier than I'd ever been. I think I
could have even been happy if it weren't her hand.
You see, I could forget, but she couldn't. Then one night,
about eight weeks after Bruce Craig died, we were at
(13:59):
home to yet.
Speaker 8 (14:03):
Gordon. Yes, can't we go out tonight?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
And there's a storm.
Speaker 8 (14:09):
Yes, I know there's a storm, but it's only a
few minutes into time.
Speaker 12 (14:14):
We can see a movie, anything, anything would be better
than stay.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Man, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 8 (14:21):
I can't stand this house anymore.
Speaker 12 (14:24):
We haven't been out of it for one night since
Bruce Craig died. We haven't been out because you're afraid,
afraid to leave. You're afraid someone might discover what's in
that abandoned will, And you're afraid of me because.
Speaker 8 (14:36):
I'm the only one who knows that you're a murder.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Be quiet.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
You hate the very sound of that word, don't you well?
You are a murderer. Murderer, murderer.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Hennight, Who's that?
Speaker 12 (14:50):
I don't know, But whoever it is, they'll welcome. I
don't think I can take another night alone with you.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
I'll answers, just a moment, good evening. I didn't.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And and what is it? What's the matter. We'll go
on speak. I'll open the door.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
No, don't, don't let him in.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
It's Bruce Craig. You're on your mind.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
He was standing there.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
He wanted to the door.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
No, don't.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
There's no one there. There's no one, no car or anything.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
It's gone away. You'll go back, I know he will.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
And listen to me. He won't be back. You're imagining things.
Speaker 12 (15:39):
Oh gods, he was real, as real as you are.
And why shouldn't he come back.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
It was on a night like this that you killed him.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Bruce Craig is dead, he's been buried.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Then it might have been his brother, his twin, Dennis.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It couldn't be. Do you understand and what I'm saying
it couldn't be.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
Yes, I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
And and come with me.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Where where are you going to take me?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
You'll see in a moment. Just come with me to
the garage. I want to get a pick a flashlights.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
No, God, no, don't, and.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
We're only going to be abandoned. Well, well, yes, there's
something I want to show you.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
No, I don't want to see you.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Better come with me.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
And this is very important, perhaps a matter of life.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Or Dad finally broken through the concrete on a moment.
I removed the cover.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Good and why are you doing that?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
You may not realize it, but I'm doing it for
your sake. And now I'll have any flashlights. It's here,
just as I saw it.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
And look down there, look down the well. No you must,
I want you to see the body. I want you
to prove to yourself that this man is dead.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Come here, let on look one look looked down there?
Speaker 10 (17:37):
Oh, now will you believe that he's dead? Yes?
Speaker 8 (17:47):
I believe it.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I believe it.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Good evening, missus Wells, Who are you? I just wanted
to speak to you?
Speaker 8 (18:08):
But who are you? Why do you keep that scarf
over your face?
Speaker 6 (18:10):
You'll find out presently. Where is your husband?
Speaker 8 (18:15):
He's downstairs in the cellar.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Does he still think you're losing your mind? Missus Wells?
Speaker 8 (18:21):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
He hasn't accused you of having any hallucinations. In the
last two weeks. Looking into the world seems to have
helped you a great deal.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
What do you know?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Don't you realize who I am now?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
No?
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Perhaps if I removed the scarf, you'll recognize me.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Greek good night, Missus Wells, gone.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
On, not just goodness. I know what's been in your mind.
I know what you've been planning. That's why I'm afraid to.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Tell you this. What are you afraid to tell me?
Speaker 8 (19:09):
I saw him again, Bruce Craig.
Speaker 12 (19:13):
Bruce Craig or his brother, I don't know which one,
but he was standing as close.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
To me as you are, not he and he spoke
to me.
Speaker 12 (19:23):
I know I'm risking my life by telling you this,
but I can't help it.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
I must make you.
Speaker 12 (19:27):
Understand something strange is happening, something you must believe.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
You do believe me, don't you, Cordon. I'm not losing
my mind.
Speaker 12 (19:40):
You can trust me. I won't give you a secret away.
I only told you this because I wanted to help
you Gordon, Gordon, what are you going to do?
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Tell me?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Er just decided what to do. Anne, No, you you would.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
You can't. You can't kill me like you killed the others.
You can't. I've been loyal, I've been faithful.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You can't murder me, murder you.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
All I want to do, dear, is take you away
on a trip.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Trip.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yes, back to Canada, your hometown. You can see your
old friends, take a long rest, regain your health.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
You said you'd like to get away. You would like that,
and wouldn't you? Oh?
Speaker 8 (20:35):
Yes, good, Yes, it should be wonderful to get away
from here. Hello.
Speaker 12 (20:49):
Oh yes, Janet, I'm so glad you called back. Well,
Gordon and I are leaving tomorrow. No, I won't have
a chance to see you. We're going back car early
in the morning.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Yes I know.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I held a knife behind my back as I approached Anne.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
The way she looked that night made the task I'd
set for myself even more difficult. She'd been as happy
as a child ever since I told her we were
going away, and now she turned to me, radiant smile
on her face. Yeah, she looked lovelier than I'd ever
seen her before.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
That was Janet she sends her regard to you.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Have you told the people in town we're going away? Yes?
Speaker 12 (21:27):
I have, And I paid the grocer in the milk company, everyone, Lucie,
I checked them off on my lips. Down.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
You murdered a very efficient one yours.
Speaker 13 (21:35):
Yes, I know, Oh, God, Knife, I don't think you
really understand what this trip means to me. We'll both
be able to make a new start away from here,
away from this place. Maybe we'll even be able to forget.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Because I love you, darling.
Speaker 13 (21:58):
Oh yeah, gotten that.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
At nice?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yes, But God, I thought I know what you thought. Anne.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
You mean the trip was just part of your plasure.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Mary, Anne, I don't want to do this, but I must.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
But why why? I'd never give you a way. I
haven't betrayed you, even in the slightest way, have I?
Why must?
Speaker 11 (22:27):
No?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
No, the Knight, God God.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
The first thrust killed her. When she fell to the floor,
I made certain she was dead. The rest was all planned.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
You see.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I didn't want a murder, and I was forced to
in order to protect my own life. She would have
given me away without realizing it, because I was convinced
that her mind was gone. I stooped to pick her up,
and just then I heard someone at the door. For
a moment, I felt paralyzed. I looked at my it
was almost midnight.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Who could it be? Quickly I put a body behind
the couch and I put a chair over the bloodstain
on the floor. I hid the knife, and then then
I went to the door. Hello well Craig. Yes, no, no, no,
can't be.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Just as your wife told you, Wells, you're not imagining,
but you you're wondering just.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Who I am? Yes, I'm Dennis Craig. But that's impossible,
is it? You don't mind?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
There's a phone call on must make phone call?
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Yes, hello, operator, Call the police immediately, tell them to
come to the home of Gordon Wells on Glendale Lane.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Tell them that mister Wells has just murdered his wife.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Craig, How did you?
Speaker 5 (23:51):
How did I get here?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yes? How do you think? I don't know? You were dead?
Was I I killed you? I saw your body in
the well, so you did? How did you come back?
That's something I'm going to let you wonder about.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
During those last few hours before they electrocute you.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Why did you come here to show you that.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Your wife wasn't lying? Now was she insane?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
You're alive.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
I wouldn't try to get that knife if I were
you gun.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
Yes, I think you'd still prefer to take a chance
with the police rather than risk certain death.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
From one of my bullets. You overplayed your hand. What
makes you think so.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
You didn't have to murder me? You would have collected
every penny my brother left without killing me. I could
never have claimed a thing for my brother's will. I
happened to be an escape convict. If the police ever
found me, i'd go to prison for something like thirty years.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I really didn't have to know.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
As I said, you didn't have to do a thing.
I would have walked out of that funeral and you
would never have seen me again, as long as you live.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
A man who believes in luck.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
That's very funny, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
It's funny, And so now here we are, you'll have
to go to the chair for murdering your wife.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I guess you'd call that tough luck.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Oh, this can't be real. When I look down at
that well, when I forced hand to look down, we
both saw you. We both saw your face, and you
were dead. There are the police. I'll have to go
I'm going with you. Look gonna let them find me here.
I'm afraid you're wrong about that my plate.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
You won't be able to get away now, well with
that leg.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Why why did you do this? Because you're a murderer
at heart? Wells you had it coming. I think your
luck's run out.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
He was, My luck had run out.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
But the trial, I'd tried to tell that my wife
was murdered by the same man who came into the
house and shot me, but no one believed me. I
still don't know whether Dennis Craig was alive or dead.
Perhaps he was alive when I put him in the
abandoned well, and then he could have escaped and dug
up his brother's body and substituted it for his own.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Sure that's the only way he could have done it.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
But then again, perhaps perhaps he did return from the dead.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
I'll never know.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I guess this should teach Gordon not to believe in luck,
which brings us right to the moral of our story,
which I found inscribed in blood and an old lace doily.
It reads, never slaughter your wife while she's cooking dinner.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
It's liable to ruin you meal.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
And remember if a couple of homicidal maniacs come into
your room in the middle of the night to murder You.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Don't be scared to death.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Do what I do, say nuts and bold. The night's
