is William Ross, and I want to know why I'm here.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
My dear mister Ross, in all cases of violent death,
which is customary for an inquest to be had. Surely
you know that though too. Who are those people the jury?
Mister Low and you're wondering my offs pard.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Now maybe force please wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I want to know what these people are wearing those
funny clothes for.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
They're looking more like a masquerade than a corner's jury.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You are referring to the gentleman in killing him and
the others two?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Who is he?
Speaker 3 (01:30):

Speaker 1 (01:37):
What's the idea that got out there?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I'm at These are my usual garments. Thank you, sir.
You may be seated again. Mister Ros think.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It's a funny as were at a corner's inquest.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Your garments may be quite as unusual as some of
the members of the jury. As there's a to you,
mister Loss, I.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Might look pretty funny, then that is a matter of opinion.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
The law. Shall we begin. I want consoles that will
not be necessary. So this is not a course of law,
but an inquiring body. The sumpson it is to determine
the cause of the death.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
In the case you find it was justifiable homicide. Brother,
I'm telling you, we shall see.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
You were on bad terms with your sister and your
brother in law.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
They were on bad terms with me.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I see. This is a state of affairs that has
existed for some time.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Long enough, how long since before she married him?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And they were married just a few months.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
They've been married, just a few months when this thing happened.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
When the nerves of death we call things by their
right names. Here.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
You haven't proved anything yet. We shall find it with
self defense.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
All in good time, you'll see.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Go ahead, go ahead, ask the questions very well.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
You will tell the.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Truth, the whole, and nothing but the truth. Yeah, I know,
I know, Yeah, sure.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I regret that it is impossible for us to call
your sister and your brother in law's witnesses, so we
shall have to depend upon your testimony completely.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Sure, yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Perhaps you can tell the jury is something about the
courses behind this skilled feeling between you and the system.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Mister Row, I certainly can't do so.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Tears.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Well, it's very simple. Ilin was born a nineteen hundred night,
two years before me. There were just the two of us.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I understand your parents were wealth in this row.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yes, they were. Uh, that's part of it too, I
supected in all, go out, I haven't gone any money.
But what's he laughing at?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Was none of the people who come here to testify
ever have any money in mister Row for one reason
or another. That's not funny. I agree with you in
all kindly retrain from unsteending lof go on, sir.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well, our parents were ground in the wreck of the
vest with when was that nineteen twenty seven, Yeah, that's right,
twenty eight. They left everything to us, quite a lot
of money. Yeah, but there was a catch to its.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Addressed the jury in.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
This what oh, well, I said there was a catch
in it. We weren't to get all the money right away.
We were both under rage. You see. Ileen was twenty
and I was eighteen. All right, all right, we got
we got five thousand a year at first. When we
were to get the rest of our shares when we
(04:48):
came of age. That was a considerable amount of it
was so I was supposed to wait three years. Aileen
got hurt the next year, in nineteen twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I had to wait, Did you wait?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes? Well I waited Selileen got her share. I mean
that dweller was our money. Wasn't fair for Eileen to
have that much and may.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Not have a CeNSE, was it?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
We're not here to judge such things as well. This
is a comment.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Well you you see what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Go understand.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So I saw people making money that your hand over fist.
All you needed to make money was the money to
start with, and I didn't have any.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
What about us? I lost that.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Gentlemen, gentlely, Well, I borrowed money from her. I mean
I didn't borrow it either.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I showed her how I could make a lot more
money for her.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
By just investing her money. I told her, if I
had my money, I put it into investments and double it,
a triple it. And she just smiled at me. She
had the aggravating smile I've ever seen. No matter what.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I'd say, you'd shake her head and smile at me.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Was that when you put to name the flow? I
think that got a trust on the drudge She trying
to speak the truth flow.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, I signed her name to a bank draft. Sure,
I was doing her a favor.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I was gonna make a lot of money for her,
of course, and I was gonna have my money.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
In another couple of years. There'n't anything wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
After all, we were brother and sister.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And it wasn't my fault the market crash, was it?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Well, of course it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
And just uh, for the record, just for us, how
much did you did she lose all her money?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Well, not all of it right away? There was about
sixty five thousand dollars on the back, you see. But
when the market started to slip, there was margin that
we had to get up your seat. I explained to her,
in words of one syllable, how if we didn't put
a margin, lose everything we'd invested. Well, that's where the rest.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Of it went. Of course, you couldn't put up your
own mother, How could I?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It was tied up in government bonds and things like that.
For another year. I couldn't touch it. I explained that
to her, and she was still unreadable, and I should
say she was.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
She called me names, get out of here and come
back out.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Of her house.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
She changed her tone when I pointed out she didn't
have a house to drown me out of though, oh, brother,
or the fall? Was that a battle?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
That was when she uh? When her arm was broken?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, how did I know she was going to fall down?
I didn't get rid of to push pushed her away
from me.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's too bad that her arm was certainly was. But
is that my fault?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I offered, not once, but a dozen times to take
her to a doctor and have the arm rebroken and
set again. Could have been done, very easy, just rebreak
it and set it again.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But what did she do?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Say?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
It's a reminder forget it.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Tell us, mister Ross, you received your share of the
escape or arm? Oh? Sure? Sure?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
And you want to know something else.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Just as soon as I got hold of my money,
I didn't reimburse your sister.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I did better than that. I took her in to
live with me, have my new house. I didn't charge
her a cent.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
She didn't have any money to tell you, no, But
I let her be a kind of uh uh, you know,
a house.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Teaper, your sees. I thought it would make her feel
better at CEO, you know, sort of earned her keeth.
I have no doubt, and she had money whenever she
wanted his brother. She never had to ask me for
a dime. Every week when I gave her the house money,
there was always something else for her five, five, ten,
twenty dollars sometimes. Uh, she had no kick coming.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, then, I take it you feel she had no
real reason to harbor a grudge against you.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Why don't you why she should?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
But she did amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But I take that back. I guess she did have
an excuse for a grudge. Yeah, I guess she did.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
You know about Arctic the god you married?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
No, that's what call that jerk. I didn't like him
to miss Scott.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
So naturally you did your best to prevent her Mann, Well,
I was just thinking of her.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Don't your name?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Why, I'm the current member of the rest. Don't you
remember this is an inn that you must have a name.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I can't just call you a corner. Can I have
you got a name? Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yes, I have a name. We'll get to that in
the meantime. The jury is waiting to hear the rest
of your testimony.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Oh yes, jury. I thought they were only supposed to
be six people on a corner's jury. More than six
people over there.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh yes, fell in a massad cosident.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Listen, Corner, what's the idea of all that? It's all
a phony?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
To me, I assure you it's anything but pony all.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'm sure this is a corner's jury, not some gag
you're rigging up to make me confess.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Confess well, I mean, I mean, you know, make me
tark you are talking. It's like a.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Convention of a lunatic asylum. That's Scotchman, Scotsman that fellaw.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
They're in the bathroom, but they're the corners all totally.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I never heard of people dressing up like that just
to be on a corner's jury.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
This is your first experience that it certainly is well gon,
we can forgive you for being unfamiliar with our patis.
Now sure we get on with well this is on
the up and ut I assure you it is. You
said you objected to your sister's name.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I did, why for her own good? Here she was
living in luxury what I'd call her luxury for somebody
who didn't ever sent to her name, mister Corner. She
had a good home for her own room with a
private bath. Even she could use my car practically whenever
she wanted to. She had good clothes. Where would she
(11:31):
have been.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Without me, I'll tell you where she'd have been.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
She'd have been in some charitable institution, and she'd have
been scrubbing floors or something might have been. Well, that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And so this art that came along and she falls.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
On such a guy with no more money than she had.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I told her flat me, I wouldn't take him into
my house.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
She be all right? How could she be all right?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Why would they live on at me to give her money?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Call me a thief?
Speaker 7 (12:07):
He wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I wouldn't give her a cent. I gave her a home.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I took care of her.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I'd have got that crooked arm of her sixed up.
Why would that arm? She couldn't even do the housework decently?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
And then she has a crust to want me to
set her in.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
This arthur of her is up in their.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Own homes, support them.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Even where did that come from?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
This rock?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Did you know him before?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, he was in the army.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I didn't know you weren't in the army. No, Uh,
I had a bad heart, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah. I bought plenty of war bonds though every week
eighteen dollars and seventy five cents regular as clockwork. He
describ he didn't buy war bonds. He was in the army.
Not that the army wasn't all right, but some of
the people they had in it.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Isn't there something about taking all kinds of people to
little work? This is all I suppose that's character, hon, Yeah,
I suppose it does.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
But I don't want any part of that time.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
What was your objection to him?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Well, to begin with, he wanted to take my sister
away from me. That was enough to set me against her.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Then he didn't have any job or any prospects, and he.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Didn't like me.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I can't understand that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I wasn't going to have him upset my way of living.
After all I've had I leaned there with me for well,
I see it was nearly fifteen years I was used
to her.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Hadn't you ever had any idea of getting married?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I should say not? Why should I?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah? I suppose, after all you had a housekeper, someone who.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Was used to and understand you at a ladies.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Marriage.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Michael certainly would.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Well, now mister go have the background.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
It is unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
How we get down to details. If you're ready, I'm already.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Go ahead. Well I asked the question.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I think we'd all rather have you tell the story
in your own world without well, say listen, yes, mister,
I didn't see all those other people before.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I thought an inquest was a private thing. I didn't
know you had an audience.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Do I have to make a spectacle of myself in
front of all the people? With people in this people
back there behind your jury.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
And the shadow back there. There's millions of them far
as I can see.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Who were they? Oh? Those people? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Who are they?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
The people listening to you around the hide radio?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Are we on the radio?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Didn't you know this roll?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I certainly did know that's that? And I never heard
of a corners and quest like this. You said, this
is your sassidence.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yes, but we're wasting time. So what am I to
do if we want to hear your son, I'm not
told to do not all, come come up.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Somewhere over here to this microphone.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I won't do it.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Oh, yes, but you will.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I'm not going to talk to all other people.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yes, you are, stand up, mister, right, got my right?
You know we are very considerate of your right.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Just step this well, now, if you see where you
want them right here, if.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
You can speak into this microphone so the audience will
hear your chit.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I'm not going on to the microphone.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Now, so we would hear your story of that day.
We should still you this tim efects of their and
we even have music for you to put you in
the move.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I don't know what kind of monkey business.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
This is an inquest, simply an in quest that if
you are the principal witness on your own, a great
many people are listening music to go ahead. That's us.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well, I.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Well, I told Eileen I wouldn't let her marry the doctor.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I told you, after all, I've taken care of Violin
for all those years, and I think it's well, I
think it's very unfair of her to want to walk
out on me. After all I've done for her, got
a good home. And you have to remember that she's
a cripple, with that crooked eim of hers. What could
(17:18):
she do? What kind of wife would she make?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
And she's thirty nine years old, now that's too old.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
To start in married life. And this fella, it was
nearly he's nearly ten years younger than she is not
only that, but how is he going to make a living.
For sure, he was a lieutenant colonel in the airport.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
He's got a lot of metals.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
He was a Japanese prisoner and all that. A lieutenant
colner of the Red diim a dozen. Now he's got
no money. There's no prospects. She probably thinks I Eileen's
got money.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
He thinks he's going to get some of that.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well, Aileen, you know, hasn't got any money. It's my
money and she isn't going to get.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
A cent of it all.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And I said, died before she.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Can a small perspective, So get out.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
After I said, get out and stay out and Ilen,
you'll see that he stays out of my house. That's
what I said. And I met it, well, he went,
I mean cried. Eileen is always proud.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
What's that? What's that noise?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
That's the sound effect? Perhaps you better listen to him.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Sounds like Eileen crying.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Listen, I won't give you up, as I won't.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I won't And the Eileen, he said that the sound effect.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
Listen, work out, Henry. He's got to help it, darling.
(19:11):
If you won't let me have some of the money
he stole from me, hope, can we I think, did.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
You recognize.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I don't know how you did that.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
You did recognize it, certainly I did.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
That was three weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
That was the day that well, that was the day
I really went into action.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You remember I came into the room. Helen was sitting
with her back to me. She didn't see me. Arthur
was facing me. Ilen didn't hear me come in the room,
And of course he couldn't see me.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And perhaps you'd better explain to our radio audience why
Arthur didn't see you, mister Ross, if he was.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Kissing it, I sure didn't, I say he was blind.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I walked right up to him before he saw him
hate me, I said, And she jumped up in front
of me. I'll show you, I said, and I reached
out for him. He got to his feet and he
was turning his head looking for me, but he couldn't
see me. I grabbed him at the collar. I'll show you,
I said, and she leaked at me, see those marks
on my face? Her fingernails, and she kept screaming. I
(20:25):
got an arm around her, and he tried to pull
her away, and he struggled, and I started pushing him
toward the door, and she grabbed up the heavy act
Cray and struck at me with it, and you grabbed
her arm.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well, I couldn't help it if it was a bad arm,
could I?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Of course not, mister, And of course Arthur couldn't see it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
How could He was making passes in the air trying
to find me, and you knocked.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
And threw him up.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Next time, I'll tell you. I said.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
You shouldn't have said that. I know it could be
used against you.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, I had to protect myself. Well, all right, I
figured i'd fixed that. I got the doctor for I Lean,
who wasn't hurt Dad. She just hanged with around, got crystal,
and she wouldn't speak to me, stayed in her room.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
That house was an inch deep in dust, dishes weren't washed,
no groceries.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Wouldn't come out of her room. I was pretty sore.
I've got a violent temper, you know. I don't rude
about things. I do something about them. Hell, I let
her stay in her room, and then finally I got
tired of it. I went upstairs one morning with blood
in my eye. I hammered on her door.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I said, over up that door, I lean, I wasn't
the answer.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I hammered some more.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
She still didn't answer, and I said.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I lean, open up that door up, break it down.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I said, I'll take the cost of fixing it out
of your allowance too.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
It still wasn't any answer, So I got back and
I slap my shoulder against it.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
And the second time.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
The lat broke and I fell into the room and
she wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
That's right, she wasn't there. But the note works, And
that's right, the note she'd skipped out of me.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
She'd married that author, that blind man.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I thought i'd die right then and there.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
You didn't know, but I thought I was going to.
When I found she.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Got into my safe, I'd forgotten she knew the combination.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
How much was listening?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
In funds she stole it? How much did you get
from her?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
That other time was different? This was ceiling. I see well.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I handed a high level for hired detectives, and.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
They caught bloody too. I didn't find her. I thought
they'd be easy to find, a blind man and a
woman with a crooked arm, but they weren't.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I used to lie awake nights thinking of what I'd
do to them when I found them.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
They're making some very damaging statements.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I am so what we'll see whether it would justify
all homicide or what.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, they came back. I was all alone. They knew
I'd be alone.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Was that the day?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
They came in.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Aileen still had her teeth. I didn't know they were
there till she spoke from the doorway of the living room,
and he was with hers, standing grinning behind her in
the hall, grinning. Thought it me and his new brother
in law. His face was turned in the wrong direction.
Blind men, give me the creeps. She came in the
room and she put out her hands to me, and
(23:45):
she smiled, aren't you going to congratulate this? And my
head began to swim.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Light in the room seemed to turn red, and I
sang it as I got up out of the chair.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
And then she backed away from me, and I heard
him talking gently.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
The room began hurling around.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Faster, and I tried to sleep, but I just got well.
I got kind of mumbled, and I lean yelled, and
I reached for that fool off his throat. Yes, I did,
lesten to me as I reached for his throat.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I saw I lean out of the corner of my
eye and she was picking up an old fashioned dirk
that was on the coffee table.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I used to belong to my grandfather.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
We'll use it for a paper night. She was running
at me and I was trying to hold on her
after and she said at me, and I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Let go of him because he was struggling, and she
cut my hand, didn't I tell you what's up the fence?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
And she kept striking at me, and I grabbed the
dirt out of her hand, and father was kicking me,
and I got the dirt and I heard on the
scream and.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
There was a great red flash in my mind.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
And well that's all.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
So that's the story, mister Corner. Next thing I remember
is sending in that chair over there, your jury and

Speaker 1 (00:32):
And featuring Ernest Chappell, is called in Quest. My name
is William Ross, and I want to know why I'm here.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
My dear mister Ross, in all cases of violent death,
which is customary for an inquest to be had. Surely
you know that though too. Who are those people the jury?
Mister Low and you're wondering my offs pard.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Now maybe force please wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I want to know what these people are wearing those
funny clothes for.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
They're looking more like a masquerade than a corner's jury.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You are referring to the gentleman in killing him and
the others two?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Who is he?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Will you identify yourself to mister Ross? Please? Suh? My
name is Duncan.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
What's the idea that got out there?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I'm at These are my usual garments. Thank you, sir.
You may be seated again. Mister Ros think.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It's a funny as were at a corner's inquest.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Your garments may be quite as unusual as some of
the members of the jury. As there's a to you,
mister Loss, I.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Might look pretty funny, then that is a matter of opinion.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
The law. Shall we begin. I want consoles that will
not be necessary. So this is not a course of law,
but an inquiring body. The sumpson it is to determine
the cause of the death.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
In the case you find it was justifiable homicide. Brother,
I'm telling you, we shall see.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
You were on bad terms with your sister and your
brother in law.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
They were on bad terms with me.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I see. This is a state of affairs that has
existed for some time.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Long enough, how long since before she married him?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And they were married just a few months.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
They've been married, just a few months when this thing happened.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
When the nerves of death we call things by their
right names. Here.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
You haven't proved anything yet. We shall find it with
self defense.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
All in good time, you'll see.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Go ahead, go ahead, ask the questions very well.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
You will tell the.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Truth, the whole, and nothing but the truth. Yeah, I know,
I know, Yeah, sure.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I regret that it is impossible for us to call
your sister and your brother in law's witnesses, so we
shall have to depend upon your testimony completely.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Sure, yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Perhaps you can tell the jury is something about the
courses behind this skilled feeling between you and the system.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Mister Row, I certainly can't do so.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Tears.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Well, it's very simple. Ilin was born a nineteen hundred night,
two years before me. There were just the two of us.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I understand your parents were wealth in this row.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yes, they were. Uh, that's part of it too, I
supected in all, go out, I haven't gone any money.
But what's he laughing at?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Was none of the people who come here to testify
ever have any money in mister Row for one reason
or another. That's not funny. I agree with you in
all kindly retrain from unsteending lof go on, sir.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well, our parents were ground in the wreck of the
vest with when was that nineteen twenty seven, Yeah, that's right,
twenty eight. They left everything to us, quite a lot
of money. Yeah, but there was a catch to its.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Addressed the jury in.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
This what oh, well, I said there was a catch
in it. We weren't to get all the money right away.
We were both under rage. You see. Ileen was twenty
and I was eighteen. All right, all right, we got
we got five thousand a year at first. When we
were to get the rest of our shares when we
(04:48):
came of age. That was a considerable amount of it
was so I was supposed to wait three years. Aileen
got hurt the next year, in nineteen twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I had to wait, Did you wait?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes? Well I waited Selileen got her share. I mean
that dweller was our money. Wasn't fair for Eileen to
have that much and may.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Not have a CeNSE, was it?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
We're not here to judge such things as well. This
is a comment.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Well you you see what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Go understand.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So I saw people making money that your hand over fist.
All you needed to make money was the money to
start with, and I didn't have any.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
What about us? I lost that.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Gentlemen, gentlely, Well, I borrowed money from her. I mean
I didn't borrow it either.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I showed her how I could make a lot more
money for her.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
By just investing her money. I told her, if I
had my money, I put it into investments and double it,
a triple it. And she just smiled at me. She
had the aggravating smile I've ever seen. No matter what.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I'd say, you'd shake her head and smile at me.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Was that when you put to name the flow? I
think that got a trust on the drudge She trying
to speak the truth flow.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, I signed her name to a bank draft. Sure,
I was doing her a favor.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I was gonna make a lot of money for her,
of course, and I was gonna have my money.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
In another couple of years. There'n't anything wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
After all, we were brother and sister.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And it wasn't my fault the market crash, was it?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Well, of course it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
And just uh, for the record, just for us, how
much did you did she lose all her money?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Well, not all of it right away? There was about
sixty five thousand dollars on the back, you see. But
when the market started to slip, there was margin that
we had to get up your seat. I explained to her,
in words of one syllable, how if we didn't put
a margin, lose everything we'd invested. Well, that's where the rest.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Of it went. Of course, you couldn't put up your
own mother, How could I?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It was tied up in government bonds and things like that.
For another year. I couldn't touch it. I explained that
to her, and she was still unreadable, and I should
say she was.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
She called me names, get out of here and come
back out.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Of her house.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
She changed her tone when I pointed out she didn't
have a house to drown me out of though, oh, brother,
or the fall? Was that a battle?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
That was when she uh? When her arm was broken?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, how did I know she was going to fall down?
I didn't get rid of to push pushed her away
from me.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's too bad that her arm was certainly was. But
is that my fault?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I offered, not once, but a dozen times to take
her to a doctor and have the arm rebroken and
set again. Could have been done, very easy, just rebreak
it and set it again.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But what did she do?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Say?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
It's a reminder forget it.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Tell us, mister Ross, you received your share of the
escape or arm? Oh? Sure? Sure?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
And you want to know something else.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Just as soon as I got hold of my money,
I didn't reimburse your sister.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I did better than that. I took her in to
live with me, have my new house. I didn't charge
her a cent.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
She didn't have any money to tell you, no, But
I let her be a kind of uh uh, you know,
a house.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Teaper, your sees. I thought it would make her feel
better at CEO, you know, sort of earned her keeth.
I have no doubt, and she had money whenever she
wanted his brother. She never had to ask me for
a dime. Every week when I gave her the house money,
there was always something else for her five, five, ten,
twenty dollars sometimes. Uh, she had no kick coming.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, then, I take it you feel she had no
real reason to harbor a grudge against you.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Why don't you why she should?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
But she did amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But I take that back. I guess she did have
an excuse for a grudge. Yeah, I guess she did.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
You know about Arctic the god you married?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
No, that's what call that jerk. I didn't like him
to miss Scott.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
So naturally you did your best to prevent her Mann, Well,
I was just thinking of her.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Don't your name?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Why, I'm the current member of the rest. Don't you
remember this is an inn that you must have a name.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I can't just call you a corner. Can I have
you got a name? Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yes, I have a name. We'll get to that in
the meantime. The jury is waiting to hear the rest
of your testimony.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Oh yes, jury. I thought they were only supposed to
be six people on a corner's jury. More than six
people over there.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh yes, fell in a massad cosident.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Listen, Corner, what's the idea of all that? It's all
a phony?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
To me, I assure you it's anything but pony all.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'm sure this is a corner's jury, not some gag
you're rigging up to make me confess.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Confess well, I mean, I mean, you know, make me
tark you are talking. It's like a.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Convention of a lunatic asylum. That's Scotchman, Scotsman that fellaw.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
They're in the bathroom, but they're the corners all totally.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I never heard of people dressing up like that just
to be on a corner's jury.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
This is your first experience that it certainly is well gon,
we can forgive you for being unfamiliar with our patis.
Now sure we get on with well this is on
the up and ut I assure you it is. You
said you objected to your sister's name.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I did, why for her own good? Here she was
living in luxury what I'd call her luxury for somebody
who didn't ever sent to her name, mister Corner. She
had a good home for her own room with a
private bath. Even she could use my car practically whenever
she wanted to. She had good clothes. Where would she
(11:31):
have been.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Without me, I'll tell you where she'd have been.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
She'd have been in some charitable institution, and she'd have
been scrubbing floors or something might have been. Well, that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And so this art that came along and she falls.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
On such a guy with no more money than she had.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I told her flat me, I wouldn't take him into
my house.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
She be all right? How could she be all right?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Why would they live on at me to give her money?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Call me a thief?
Speaker 7 (12:07):
He wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I wouldn't give her a cent. I gave her a home.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I took care of her.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I'd have got that crooked arm of her sixed up.
Why would that arm? She couldn't even do the housework decently?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
And then she has a crust to want me to
set her in.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
This arthur of her is up in their.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Own homes, support them.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Even where did that come from?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
This rock?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Did you know him before?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, he was in the army.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I didn't know you weren't in the army. No, Uh,
I had a bad heart, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah. I bought plenty of war bonds though every week
eighteen dollars and seventy five cents regular as clockwork. He
describ he didn't buy war bonds. He was in the army.
Not that the army wasn't all right, but some of
the people they had in it.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Isn't there something about taking all kinds of people to
little work? This is all I suppose that's character, hon, Yeah,
I suppose it does.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
But I don't want any part of that time.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
What was your objection to him?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Well, to begin with, he wanted to take my sister
away from me. That was enough to set me against her.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Then he didn't have any job or any prospects, and he.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Didn't like me.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I can't understand that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I wasn't going to have him upset my way of living.
After all I've had I leaned there with me for well,
I see it was nearly fifteen years I was used
to her.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Hadn't you ever had any idea of getting married?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I should say not? Why should I?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah? I suppose, after all you had a housekeper, someone who.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Was used to and understand you at a ladies.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Marriage.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Michael certainly would.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Well, now mister go have the background.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
It is unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
How we get down to details. If you're ready, I'm already.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Go ahead. Well I asked the question.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I think we'd all rather have you tell the story
in your own world without well, say listen, yes, mister,
I didn't see all those other people before.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I thought an inquest was a private thing. I didn't
know you had an audience.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Do I have to make a spectacle of myself in
front of all the people? With people in this people
back there behind your jury.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
And the shadow back there. There's millions of them far
as I can see.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Who were they? Oh? Those people? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Who are they?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
The people listening to you around the hide radio?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Are we on the radio?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Didn't you know this roll?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I certainly did know that's that? And I never heard
of a corners and quest like this. You said, this
is your sassidence.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yes, but we're wasting time. So what am I to
do if we want to hear your son, I'm not
told to do not all, come come up.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Somewhere over here to this microphone.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I won't do it.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Oh, yes, but you will.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I'm not going to talk to all other people.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yes, you are, stand up, mister, right, got my right?
You know we are very considerate of your right.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Just step this well, now, if you see where you
want them right here, if.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
You can speak into this microphone so the audience will
hear your chit.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I'm not going on to the microphone.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Now, so we would hear your story of that day.
We should still you this tim efects of their and
we even have music for you to put you in
the move.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I don't know what kind of monkey business.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
This is an inquest, simply an in quest that if
you are the principal witness on your own, a great
many people are listening music to go ahead. That's us.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well, I.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Well, I told Eileen I wouldn't let her marry the doctor.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I told you, after all, I've taken care of Violin
for all those years, and I think it's well, I
think it's very unfair of her to want to walk
out on me. After all I've done for her, got
a good home. And you have to remember that she's
a cripple, with that crooked eim of hers. What could
(17:18):
she do? What kind of wife would she make?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
And she's thirty nine years old, now that's too old.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
To start in married life. And this fella, it was
nearly he's nearly ten years younger than she is not
only that, but how is he going to make a living.
For sure, he was a lieutenant colonel in the airport.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
He's got a lot of metals.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
He was a Japanese prisoner and all that. A lieutenant
colner of the Red diim a dozen. Now he's got
no money. There's no prospects. She probably thinks I Eileen's
got money.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
He thinks he's going to get some of that.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well, Aileen, you know, hasn't got any money. It's my
money and she isn't going to get.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
A cent of it all.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And I said, died before she.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Can a small perspective, So get out.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
After I said, get out and stay out and Ilen,
you'll see that he stays out of my house. That's
what I said. And I met it, well, he went,
I mean cried. Eileen is always proud.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
What's that? What's that noise?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
That's the sound effect? Perhaps you better listen to him.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Sounds like Eileen crying.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Listen, I won't give you up, as I won't.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I won't And the Eileen, he said that the sound effect.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
Listen, work out, Henry. He's got to help it, darling.
(19:11):
If you won't let me have some of the money
he stole from me, hope, can we I think, did.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
You recognize.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I don't know how you did that.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
You did recognize it, certainly I did.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
That was three weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
That was the day that well, that was the day
I really went into action.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You remember I came into the room. Helen was sitting
with her back to me. She didn't see me. Arthur
was facing me. Ilen didn't hear me come in the room,
And of course he couldn't see me.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And perhaps you'd better explain to our radio audience why
Arthur didn't see you, mister Ross, if he was.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Kissing it, I sure didn't, I say he was blind.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I walked right up to him before he saw him
hate me, I said, And she jumped up in front
of me. I'll show you, I said, and I reached
out for him. He got to his feet and he
was turning his head looking for me, but he couldn't
see me. I grabbed him at the collar. I'll show you,
I said, and she leaked at me, see those marks
on my face? Her fingernails, and she kept screaming. I
(20:25):
got an arm around her, and he tried to pull
her away, and he struggled, and I started pushing him
toward the door, and she grabbed up the heavy act
Cray and struck at me with it, and you grabbed
her arm.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Well, I couldn't help it if it was a bad arm,
could I?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Of course not, mister, And of course Arthur couldn't see it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
How could He was making passes in the air trying
to find me, and you knocked.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
And threw him up.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Next time, I'll tell you. I said.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
You shouldn't have said that. I know it could be
used against you.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, I had to protect myself. Well, all right, I
figured i'd fixed that. I got the doctor for I Lean,
who wasn't hurt Dad. She just hanged with around, got crystal,
and she wouldn't speak to me, stayed in her room.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
That house was an inch deep in dust, dishes weren't washed,
no groceries.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Wouldn't come out of her room. I was pretty sore.
I've got a violent temper, you know. I don't rude
about things. I do something about them. Hell, I let
her stay in her room, and then finally I got
tired of it. I went upstairs one morning with blood
in my eye. I hammered on her door.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I said, over up that door, I lean, I wasn't
the answer.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I hammered some more.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
She still didn't answer, and I said.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I lean, open up that door up, break it down.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I said, I'll take the cost of fixing it out
of your allowance too.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
It still wasn't any answer, So I got back and
I slap my shoulder against it.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
And the second time.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
The lat broke and I fell into the room and
she wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
That's right, she wasn't there. But the note works, And
that's right, the note she'd skipped out of me.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
She'd married that author, that blind man.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I thought i'd die right then and there.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
You didn't know, but I thought I was going to.
When I found she.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Got into my safe, I'd forgotten she knew the combination.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
How much was listening?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
In funds she stole it? How much did you get
from her?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
That other time was different? This was ceiling. I see well.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I handed a high level for hired detectives, and.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
They caught bloody too. I didn't find her. I thought
they'd be easy to find, a blind man and a
woman with a crooked arm, but they weren't.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I used to lie awake nights thinking of what I'd
do to them when I found them.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
They're making some very damaging statements.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I am so what we'll see whether it would justify
all homicide or what.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, they came back. I was all alone. They knew
I'd be alone.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Was that the day?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
They came in.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Aileen still had her teeth. I didn't know they were
there till she spoke from the doorway of the living room,
and he was with hers, standing grinning behind her in
the hall, grinning. Thought it me and his new brother
in law. His face was turned in the wrong direction.
Blind men, give me the creeps. She came in the
room and she put out her hands to me, and
(23:45):
she smiled, aren't you going to congratulate this? And my
head began to swim.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Light in the room seemed to turn red, and I
sang it as I got up out of the chair.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
And then she backed away from me, and I heard
him talking gently.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
The room began hurling around.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Faster, and I tried to sleep, but I just got well.
I got kind of mumbled, and I lean yelled, and
I reached for that fool off his throat. Yes, I did,
lesten to me as I reached for his throat.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I saw I lean out of the corner of my
eye and she was picking up an old fashioned dirk
that was on the coffee table.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I used to belong to my grandfather.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
We'll use it for a paper night. She was running
at me and I was trying to hold on her
after and she said at me, and I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Let go of him because he was struggling, and she
cut my hand, didn't I tell you what's up the fence?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
And she kept striking at me, and I grabbed the
dirt out of her hand, and father was kicking me,
and I got the dirt and I heard on the
scream and.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
There was a great red flash in my mind.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
And well that's all.
