(00:32):
host to be in a sanctum. Welcome through the squeaking door. Well,
I hope you've spent a nice, quiet week building up
your nervous systems. You're going to need plenty of red
corpusos to digest tonight's gory little dish.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Hm hmm there.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Oh, you'd like to have a recipe to a small
quantity of apprehension at a pinch of dismay and cook
gone a slow fire, adding dread and panic in appropriate quantity.
Then throw in a dose of terror and a whiff
of horror and make it boil, brother, make it bore.
(01:17):

to go on a honeymoon? You're going on one, whether
you like it or not, because tonight's story is cold

knows where you were. But Jill, take it easy. Well,
you stay back here in the shadows. It'll be all right.
It's okay, Nancy. Car's empty.
Speaker 4 (07:41):

Speaker 2 (07:43):
No, No, he must have skipped on. Why do you
bring our car back? No, he wanted to get him
away from the bridge, don't you see, he must have
dumped that girl's body in the river, and then he
took our car away no trace.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Jill, I'm scared.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Maybe he's hiding inside the cabin waiting for it.
Speaker 2 (07:58):

all the people in the other cabins. MSUs Swinson too.
You know we'd never get away with it. Come on,

nobody hiding. Holy mackerel.

Well what is it?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Oh? What was there on on the bed? What the
girl's body? Well, her face shot away, just like we
saw on the bridge.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, well, imagine coming back to your cabin on your
wedding night and finding a corpse on your bed, a
beautiful corpse who'd had her face lifted without going to
a beauty parlor.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I don't worry.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Before the night's over, the murderer may have his face
lifted too, by a rope around his neck. And now
let's get back to that cabin. See how Joe and
Nancy are getting along with their uninvited visitor the corpse
in their cabin. Yes, it's one of those times. When
two's company and three's are shroud. I wonder what they're
(09:33):
going to do with her, don't.

in a jam. Follow the pete, Nancy, this is no
time to faint.

have to think at my wedding night to have a
thing like this happened.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Why did he leave her here.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
To put us in a spot. The cops will ever
believe our story now, they'll think we killed her, But.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Joe, we never saw her before in our lives.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Nancy, we've got to get rid of it. Sure, we've
got to take her back back to the bridge and
dumple right back on a murderer. No, no, it's the
only thing we can do. Suppose the cops come here
and find her, they'll grill us for hours. They'll hold
us for the inquest. It might take a week's two weeks,
A fine way to spend a honeymoon in jail.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Oh, I never thought of that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Sure, we've got to do it. We've got to take
her back.

of the car over and then I'll bring her out.

Look, darling, don't you realize you're not a murderer. You
didn't kill missus Spins And it was a heart.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
At that's what they say. I say it's a trap.
Let's get moving.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Come on, Well it's too late.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
State troopers.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Yeah, he coming right over here.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Sure he's got this license number. Well, baby, I I
guess uh honey, moonsuper.
Speaker 10 (23:10):
You mister, mister Joseph Page, Yeah, yeah, Oh Joe Paige, Yeah,
that's that's right. You lady, you on Nancy Page. Yes,
well then this belongs to you.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
What what is it?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Take it?
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Hum?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Hi life, what where'd you get it?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
One of our men happened to be cruising down by
the old mill Stream last night. So a fella get
out of a roadsterant on the bridge carrying a girl's body.
Fella dumped the girl over the rail and our man
went after him.
Speaker 10 (23:43):
They had a gun fight and.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
The fella got a slug through the heart. When we
went through his car, we found this on the back
of it. You notice he wrote your license number.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Then you got the murderer, Sure.
Speaker 10 (23:56):
He did, but we didn't recover the body of the
girl was carried down st stream.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
They take several days to find it. The th then
we we're not wanted for anything.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Uh, your other folks were in Missus Swinston's cabin last night.
We figure you left in a hurry. Kind of embarrassing
to have a thing.
Speaker 10 (24:14):
Like that having on your honeymoon. Huh, can't blame you.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Oh, we're free to go on a honeymoon.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
Just come down to the barrassing sign a statement and
then you can be on your way.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Uh, say, what would you mind? Obviously just a few minutes,
we wanna go back in the diners for honeymoon breakfast.
Speaker 10 (24:46):
Say what's going on here too? Measley?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Murder been a happy ending.
Speaker 10 (24:54):
I was hoping Joe and Nancy would end up in
a cell with a ward and asking them what they
wanted for their last meals? What do I get insteads
a wedding breakfast and a crowd down at the mug.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
You are going to laugh at me for this. They
won't be their last life either, No, they had that already. Yes,
I have a feeling that somebody's been tampering with tonight's story.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
I'm an expert on rugs.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
You see.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
I'm a cat and my favorite place to sleep is
on a scatter rug. That's why they call me ruggie. Now,
one place you don't want to put a scatter rog
is at the top or bottom of the stairs. If
you slip on a rug on your way up or down,
you can fall and go who So take it from me,
Keep those rugs away from the stairs in your chorus
(25:43):
and put them where cats like me can sleep in
burd a fit piece.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I'm now a parting word of advice, friend. Our solution
for eliminating crime. The perfect way to prevent any murderer
from committing murder is to commit the murderer before he
commits the murderers. By the way, this month's Sinners thanks
(26:13):
to mystery novel, is The Whistling Legs by Romind mcdougalld.
And now it's time to close the squeaking door. So
good night, pleasant dreams.
In a sanctum mystery. Good evening, friend, this is your
(00:32):
host to be in a sanctum. Welcome through the squeaking door. Well,
I hope you've spent a nice, quiet week building up
your nervous systems. You're going to need plenty of red
corpusos to digest tonight's gory little dish.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Hm hmm there.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Oh, you'd like to have a recipe to a small
quantity of apprehension at a pinch of dismay and cook
gone a slow fire, adding dread and panic in appropriate quantity.
Then throw in a dose of terror and a whiff
of horror and make it boil, brother, make it bore.
(01:17):
And now here's a personal question, how would you like
to go on a honeymoon? You're going on one, whether
you like it or not, because tonight's story is cold
till death to us part. It's an original radio play
by Amo Tepperman. At our stars tonight are Anne Shepherd
(01:38):
and Larry Haynes.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Just look at them.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Joe and Nancy Page married hardly five hours and parked
at the side of the road by the bank of
the old mill stream and whispering sweet nothings to each other.
Living in a fool's paradise.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
See, it's wonderful to be married to you.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Oh do you.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Know godshall the other clerks of Scott's department still I
can see us now.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I don't want anybody to see us.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I just wanna be alone with you, Joe, for the
rest of my life, Scotch.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Maybe I hope you don't mind spending a honeymoon in
a tourist cabin instead of a swanky hotel.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Joh, I love it this way, the stream rushing past
and the moonlight shining on the bridge. The wood's all wrong, Joe.
Speaker 4 (02:32):

Speaker 3 (02:34):
They're parking on the bridge.
Speaker 2 (02:35):

Oh, it's all only the wind in the trees.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Suppose he should suddenly stop, step out of these woods
with his gun.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Maybe maybe he gave up. Maybe maybe he went back
to take take care of that body.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
A car's there with our marriage license in the glove
compartment and the receipt missus Swinston gave us for the cabin.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, he don't know all about us who we are,

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Think about him. Accept his face face of a murder.
Speaker 2 (06:21):

We've got to get to the cabin and form the police.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
O round of our cabin?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
What hey, that's our car.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
The murderer must have come here by another route.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
To wait for her.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I don't see anybody around.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Maybe he's in the car.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Wait here, I'll go and see No, No, Joe, Jill,
you'll kid. No, don't worry. We both saw his face.
He's gotta kill us both, don't you see? Baby? If
I go over there alone, he won't show till he
knows where you were. But Jill, take it easy. Well,
you stay back here in the shadows. It'll be all right.
It's okay, Nancy. Car's empty.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Maybe he's hiding somewhere close fire.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
No, No, he must have skipped on. Why do you
bring our car back? No, he wanted to get him
away from the bridge, don't you see, he must have
dumped that girl's body in the river, and then he
took our car away no trace.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Jill, I'm scared.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Maybe he's hiding inside the cabin waiting for it.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
No, he'd be a sad one shot at Wake up
all the people in the other cabins. MSUs Swinson too.
You know we'd never get away with it. Come on,
we're going to our cabin and get cleaned up. Then
we use the phone switches right here there. See there's
nobody hiding. Holy mackerel.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Well what is it?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Oh? What was there on on the bed? What the
girl's body? Well, her face shot away, just like we
saw on the bridge.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, well, imagine coming back to your cabin on your
wedding night and finding a corpse on your bed, a
beautiful corpse who'd had her face lifted without going to
a beauty parlor.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I don't worry.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Before the night's over, the murderer may have his face
lifted too, by a rope around his neck. And now
let's get back to that cabin. See how Joe and
Nancy are getting along with their uninvited visitor the corpse
in their cabin. Yes, it's one of those times. When
two's company and three's are shroud. I wonder what they're
(09:33):
going to do with her, don't.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
You now, Nancy? We have to take this over. We're
in a jam. Follow the pete, Nancy, this is no
time to faint.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Oh, darling is awful.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Her face shot away.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Don't look at her. Here, here's the.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Joe.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
What don't we do? I don't know, no, I I
have to think at my wedding night to have a
thing like this happened.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Why did he leave her here.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
To put us in a spot. The cops will ever
believe our story now, they'll think we killed her, But.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Joe, we never saw her before in our lives.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Nancy, we've got to get rid of it. Sure, we've
got to take her back back to the bridge and
dumple right back on a murderer. No, no, it's the
only thing we can do. Suppose the cops come here
and find her, they'll grill us for hours. They'll hold
us for the inquest. It might take a week's two weeks,
A fine way to spend a honeymoon in jail.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Oh, I never thought of that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Sure, we've got to do it. We've got to take
her back.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
That means we have to lift her up and Harry.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I'll carry a baby, but you'll have to help. Oh, Joe,
you've got to honey.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Oh what must I do?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Now? Look? You go out and get the back door
of the car over and then I'll bring her out.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Joe, Joe. They'll find us here with a body.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Quick, throw the blanket over. I'll see who it is.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
One of our men happened to be cruising down by
the old mill Stream last night. So a fella get
out of a roadsterant on the bridge carrying a girl's body.
Fella dumped the girl over the rail and our man
went after him.
Speaker 10 (23:43):
They had a gun fight and.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
The fella got a slug through the heart. When we
went through his car, we found this on the back
of it. You notice he wrote your license number.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Then you got the murderer, Sure.
Speaker 10 (23:56):
He did, but we didn't recover the body of the
girl was carried down st stream.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
They take several days to find it. The th then
we we're not wanted for anything.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Uh, your other folks were in Missus Swinston's cabin last night.
We figure you left in a hurry. Kind of embarrassing
to have a thing.
Speaker 10 (24:14):
Like that having on your honeymoon. Huh, can't blame you.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Oh, we're free to go on a honeymoon.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
Just come down to the barrassing sign a statement and
then you can be on your way.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Uh, say, what would you mind? Obviously just a few minutes,
we wanna go back in the diners for honeymoon breakfast.
Speaker 10 (24:46):
Say what's going on here too? Measley?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Murder been a happy ending.
Speaker 10 (24:54):
I was hoping Joe and Nancy would end up in
a cell with a ward and asking them what they
wanted for their last meals? What do I get insteads
a wedding breakfast and a crowd down at the mug.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
You are going to laugh at me for this. They
won't be their last life either, No, they had that already. Yes,
I have a feeling that somebody's been tampering with tonight's story.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
I'm an expert on rugs.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
You see.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
I'm a cat and my favorite place to sleep is
on a scatter rug. That's why they call me ruggie. Now,
one place you don't want to put a scatter rog
is at the top or bottom of the stairs. If
you slip on a rug on your way up or down,
you can fall and go who So take it from me,
Keep those rugs away from the stairs in your chorus
(25:43):
and put them where cats like me can sleep in
burd a fit piece.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I'm now a parting word of advice, friend. Our solution
for eliminating crime. The perfect way to prevent any murderer
from committing murder is to commit the murderer before he
commits the murderers. By the way, this month's Sinners thanks
(26:13):
to mystery novel, is The Whistling Legs by Romind mcdougalld.
And now it's time to close the squeaking door. So
good night, pleasant dreams.
