of the criminal is merely a matter of police routine.
And as for murders, we find that the greater percentage
result from the psychological reactions to frustrated ambitions, jealousy, and hate.

Everything to live.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
I'm the freight, Miss Darling. That everything points to an accident,
but how well could have been one of several things.
Tiny could have come home intoxicated.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
For instance, nobody was. I met him after the show.
We had one drink with Slim and came straight.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
To the hotail.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Doddy was tired.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
What's the better? Oh, there's still the possibility of a
leak in the gas picture.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I don't believe it. Well, of course I can settle
that with further investigation. Oh, by the way, miss Darling,
just why you so upset over Tiny's desk?

If you can't guess, I'm not gonna tell you who.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
That's easy.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Then do you think Tony was murdered? Just who do
you think did it?

Speaker 3 (12:23):

something I'm gonna settle in my own way myself?

excellent interesting.

It looks simple enough to me.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
What's worrying you?

Speaker 2 (12:44):

close the case.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
The close occasion well, it was just a shame to you.
I'd rather you had opened one.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
I could go shirt see you let it see everybody, sir,
get up there, don 'em?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Well then you didn't learn much.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
There, but I did resting, Yes, what you were right?
She really loved the guys.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Hm.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, all fit.

Speaker 10 (19:47):
To ride in a wall open sea.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Come on, right, do you wanna take one more look
at tiny room?

Speaker 6 (20:02):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Right, but I close the door. Would you be sure?

Speaker 9 (20:06):
And what you hey?

Speaker 4 (20:08):
Take a look at this contraction the gas jet?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah? Look, okay, talk that's a little nest.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
You need to take it? Oh what did that prove?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
And noticed the handle on his valve one of those
one sided kind. It sticks straight up in it's clothes.
What so I think we'd better have another little talk
with missus Maine. Well here's a good lady in person.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Well what are you two doing in here? Have you
youer stick for.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
The good and up to one to avenge his murder?

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Murder?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Oh, missus Maine, just where did you find that telegram
that came for Tiny and Slim?

Speaker 5 (20:52):
I didn't find it.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
It was when around set the times and uh.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Did you keep it in your possession until you gave
it the slim Of.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
Course, I put it on the hall table where I
always put telegrams.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Well I do you know who uh one else saw
up for children?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Well?

Speaker 2 (21:05):
How do I know they could have?

Speaker 5 (21:07):
It was laying there long enough?

Speaker 2 (21:08):
I see now once more, exactly what did you do
when he went to the boy's room.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
I already told you. I picked these clothes out of
the way, grabbed a chair from in front of the dress.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
It's clothes. What closed?

Speaker 1 (21:20):
It's closed?

Speaker 5 (21:21):
He used to call of it. It was in the
middle of the floor. Least the coat was had to
kick it out of the way so as they could
get the chair.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Under the gas jet.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I see, that's all, missus meme. Oh, will you please
notify all your other guests to meet me here after supper?
Now it's time poor tiny had a good old fashioned wake.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Yeah, what a would do it? They all here resting?

Speaker 1 (21:47):
I think so, mus see clean missus miles.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Teachers and oh yes, the chief, Well glad you could come. Chief,
by the way, is there anything you would like to say?

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Oh, don't go ahead, You at your party.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Thanks.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
I don't see why you had to drag every wire teachers,
then know's what he's doing. Now.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
As we all know, Tony was killed asphyxiated by gas
escaping from the gas jet. Sure we know a leak,
but it wasn't a leak, Slim. Somebody turned the gas on.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
Poor man. He must have come home and turned on
the gas and forgot to light.

Speaker 8 (22:13):
Oh that was it must have been. Tiny was drunk.
He'd had drinks.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
And didn't you say he had just one drink? Slim? Well, yes,
but hum and Peach is.

Speaker 8 (22:21):
Probably stopped in somewhere else and had some more.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
That could be But uh, how do you count for
the fact that Tiny's coat was lying directly under the
gas jet when this is mean came in cold? Tiny, Yes,
she had to kick it out of the way in
order to get a chair to turn off the gas.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
Well, let me give you my idea.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Let's suppose Tony did have a few more drakes. He
comes in, Pie, takes off his coat and hangs it
up on the gas jet. The gas jet is loose,
the weight of the coat gradually turns it on. Now,
as the handle on the valve comes down under the
weight of the coat, the coat slips off and falls
to the floor. Tony is asleep. The room fills with gas.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Tiny Dove, you say it wasn't act.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Rustee, it was murder, But you said I thought it
was murder. Slim Tiny couldn't possibly have hung his coat
on that jet?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Why why couldn't he?

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Tiny wasn't tall enough Slim to do a trick like
that would take a man as tall as well, let's
say a man as tall as you. In a moment,
a return for the conclusion of danger, doctor Danfield. But first,

(23:41):
now back to Michael Dunn for the conclusion of danger,
Doctor Danfield.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Oh am, I glad to.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Get away from that town.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Even if you were born there no more run down
hotels or gas lights.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
From me, say Russy, Look out the window isn't new England?

Speaker 6 (24:02):
Field?

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Hm? So white and clean under a new blanket of snow.
Get him waxing poetical again? Mh, it's lovely, rusty, lovely?

Speaker 6 (24:11):
Then?

Speaker 9 (24:12):
How did you ever guess it was murder instead of
an accident?

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Mm oh, oh, one little mistake A murderer always makes,
at least one.

Speaker 9 (24:20):
You know what was that?

Speaker 2 (24:21):
The lack of other fingerprints on the gas jet Swim
had wiped them off.

Speaker 9 (24:24):
But how was that proving?

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Lean Tony had used that room for about a week,
so his fingerprints would have to be there under missus Maine.

Speaker 9 (24:31):
I see, But how did you ever figure out if
it was Slim?

Speaker 4 (24:34):
Well, if you had listened to my lecture, Rusty, you
wouldn't have to ask, well, what is your neture got
to do with him?

Speaker 2 (24:39):
I said, there was a psychological reason behind every crime,
and once we had that reason, we had the motive.

Speaker 9 (24:45):
Well, I know, but but what was the motive in
this case?

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Frustrated ambition, jealousy, and hate.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
Like any good Greek, you will always have.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
A word for it, you see, Rusty. Slim saw the
telegram lying on the hall table and read it. He
knew about the offer to make pictures in Hollywood, but
Tourney was sick and tired of Slim's bullying. It already
made up his mind to buy a farm, quick show
business Mary Peaches and settled down. Now, Slim was jealous
of Tiny. He secretly knew that Tiny was the best

(25:15):
part of the act. He knew that Hollywood wouldn't buy
the act without Tiny, so his mentions to become a
movie star with thwarted and frustrated.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Well, how about the hate part of it?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Well, wouldn't you hear the guy who did that to
you hate him enough to kill?

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Hm?

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yes I would, And of course, after figuring out the motive,
the rest was just ordinary police routine.

Speaker 8 (25:36):
I see.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Then, yes, Rusty, what's the scale.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
A scale, my dear Rusty, is what a poet starts
with when he wants to write a song. A system
of notes which, when properly welded together and combined with
beautiful words and.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Sung with the say a voice such as mine.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Makes the beautiful ladies fall right into our life.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Then m M, you know, I was afraid you were
gonna say it was a frinkle on a fish
