Of stage, yes, Lieutenant for wonder, Nick is leaving me

It's hard to believe, but it's true.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Well, Nick, you remember Tom Fraser, the young rookie cup
who shut down in cold Blood last week?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yes, indeed, nice young Chap. Sorry to see him go
like that.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
He's forks live in Watertown. He's right on the way
to where you're going. Would you stop off there long
enough to call on him and tell him personal Laker host,
hurry we are, and what happened to him?

Now?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Nick would love to do that. He makes beautiful speech.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Quiet patsy satsification I'm taking seems to have gone to
your head, would Nick?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
He's a favorite to me?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay, Riley, I'll do it for you. I suppose the
old folks will feel his death a little less keenly
if we're telling me die a hero and line up, Judy.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I think that's a darn nice thing to do. Nick,
I'm proud of Musaks.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I knew what you'd count on.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Can you take me to the Fraser Place on Upper
Main Street? I sure a kin, mister, get here and
I'll get going emany city, y, Yes, stepping to pay
your respect, you man, eh, I suppose that's what you'd
call it. Why, Oh, just.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Wondered how far you'd get it.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Been expecting somebody ever since young Tom got herself killed.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Family taking it hard.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Some some eat, some we don't know whether they eat
or they eat, meaning what nobody ever gets to see
the old.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Lady you mean, missus Fraser.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Yeah, nobody but her doct Jory's seen her since she
got sick. From what I hear, she might take it anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh little, peculiar little They told Sharon her own daughter.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
She was wild and wicked and she'd better be better
off dead. Same for the boy done.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
That's her house. She's dead there.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Well, nice looking old place, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
It looks don't mean much outside of my package. Don't
tell what's inside?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Uh white place. I'll be right out.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Uh no, I'll come back, but I wanna be if
I said I had come back half an hour.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, okay, but don't forget me.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I won't.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Don't you forget about me?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Nobody's you?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No? Who are you?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Ain't my Caroi? Who are you?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I why? I'm a policeman? Please should steady?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Steady?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And I sad? Drunk? You can't stand up? Hey, he's
a cold and I lay him down.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You ought to be a shame bringing him home in
that condition.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I'm not bringing him home.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'm well taking him out. That's worse.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Look here, I'm Nick Carter and.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I can't Sharon Fraser. What do you want me?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
From missus Fraser? From Lieutenant Riley or the Metropolitan Police.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh, we've been expecting somebody. Come on, I'll take you
to a room. Doctor Gavins is Nick Carter. He wants
to talk to mother.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Uh, nothing exciting, I hope, mister Carter. And that's the
condolences of the Metropolitan Police Department on the recent death
of her son Tom time, Missus Fraser. Lieutenant Riley thought
the world of your son, and he wanted me to
tell you that Tom died in service to the people.
You may well be proud of him.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
Proud of him, he said, Hey, now, thy son, whom
thou best and offer him for the bent offering upon
one of them mountains, which.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well, maybe you don't understand, Missus Frazier, Lieutenant Riley, mister Carter,
erh suppose you'll come outside with me. Well, alright, Missus
Frasier is not fully conscious of what goes on around her. Uh,
you've done all you could. Uh what was all that
she was quoting from the Bible. In cases of this kind,
it's not unusual for the patient who lean heavily on
(06:25):
the Bible as a refuge from reality. But her son, yes, Ani,
mister Carter, there's nothing to be done about it. Alright, doctor,
whatever you say. Well, if you think I can do
it all good here, I'll just get back to the station.
That would be best, I'm sure. And uh, thank you
for con that taxi drivers long over? Tu when if
(06:55):
you ever intended to come back?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yes, say what goes the taxi service in this town?
I'd like to get that train to Albany.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It's already gone.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You'll have to stay here tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
No thanks. I don't care for the atmosphere here. You
feel it too, I do. It's the most unpleasant feeling
of hatred. Hatred that's monstrous and done natural.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, you hey, get a little uneasy here, even in myself.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I'll be glad to have you.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
That's my crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yes, we'll come on.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Let's travel up there.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right, Yeah, what's.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
No reason why.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
I'm here.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
That milk's all right?
Speaker 7 (07:46):
I just thought it up.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
She hasn't even tasted it.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I'm not made her think of his poison.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You tell me you're a detective, on't you?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Where did this milk come from?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
I got it out of the refrigerator. My brother Don
was with me. He got a glass for himself and
brought it upstairs. He stopped to talk to the mother
while I changed my close.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Why is your brother now in his room?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I suppose take me that once it's the next room
to this look for yourself, I.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Will, Sharon, come here?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
What's murder?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Your brother's dead and he's been murdered. Mister Carter, this
is mister Welchard County Sheriff. How are you, chef?
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Doctor Garvin says, you don't think young dal Fraser died.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Of heart failure. He died of heart failure, a right
heart failure brought on by a generous dose of poison.
I'm afraid mister Carter, being from the city, is used
to dealing with the sensational.
Speaker 9 (08:43):
Probably, but since he makes the acquisition, I'll have the
corner analyze a boys class mail.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
There ain't necessary. It was murderer, right, and you know
who did it?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Sharon did it? You're crazy?
Speaker 10 (08:54):
Uncle rohan Ny h you still your lord won't fall
for you if you ain't rich and you aren't money
ship bad you're willing to cure for it's you, you
drunken old bomb. You dares he had to be probably
killed him yourself. If we were all dead, you'd be
the Mondy cover stop at both of you.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
We don't even know Don was killed. It's just that
mister Capper here is oh Alec.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I'm so glad you've cost.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
All right, dear you, Alex Lord, that's right. Thought i'd
better drop in before you city cops carded the whole
household off to jail. I have nothing to do with this.
This is off my beat. Don't let me flow you up, Carr,
Now why I share if I wouldn't. When I'm getting
out of here, killer on no killer, I'd like to
begin into Albany. Where's the phone. It's in the downstairs
entrance hall. You'll see us right at the foot of
the stairs. Thanks. I'll close the door then I won't
(09:38):
disturb anyone whoa don't mind rush. We'll leave her now anyway,
and I and you'll get me there in time for
the one twenty seven to Albany. All right. I'll be
on the porch whenever you get here. And don't fail
me now. I've had too much t but finding someone
(10:00):
that got me out of here to want you just
slip up two, okay, goodbye. I don't know or I
feel it as as.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I must close.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And I know they were so but it earned that
big never fell off that upper landing without being pushed.
I'd better see who's up there. You get some transportation,
mister called on doctor gime here, Yes, I wanna show
you something.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Something wrong? I'll go over the railing see that big earn.
I'll smashed up at the foot of the stairs. Oh yes,
why that just missed me by interest a moment ago.
You think somebody was trying to kill you think I'm
sure of it. Did you hear anyone up here? Well? Yes, yes,
I did think I heard someone out here a minute ago.
(10:58):
So there really is a killer in the house. I
hadn't believed it before you fell.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I hear anything?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Why no?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Did you so I heard a crash?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Well you did? Someone tried to kill me?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Guys, and I did hear somebody tiptoe past my door?
Big bank?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
You know who it was?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
He sounded like they went down the bank stairs.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Kiki, let's see who's down there. If anyone is, which
I doubt you are.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I'll be saved a minute until he's gone.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I don't worry. We'll make it so hot for him
he'll be glad to go.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Oh we can't.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I've changed my mind. I'm staying for the night.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You're staying here. Yes, i'd hoped i'd seen the last
of you.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You almost did until someone dropped that oversized plaster vase
at my head.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
It was a wonderful idea. I'm sorry it missed. Well,
i'll show you where you can sleep.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Come on, a sun feels good damp inside that old house.
Eight o'clark. Wonder what time they serve breakfast around here?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You're snooping early, aren't you?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Why?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yes, lovely morning for it? Out for a walk in
the sunshine.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Just out to get the mail.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
If you must know, I'll let you know if it
is anything to you in the box.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Thanks, but I'm not expecting anything.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Hm happy to say. Nobody else thinks any more of
you than I do. There's no mail gown the ground.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well, this looks more serious. Is someone trying to kill Sharon?
Or is it Nick they're trying to get?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
And why?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
What has this to do with a hate that seems
to rule the Fraser household? We'll see in just a moment.
You youngsters are sometimes thoughtless about tracking in mud, slush
and snow these winter days. Even the careful grown ups
sometimes can't help it. But it needn't be a problem
to keep your floors looking lovely when you depend on
Linax self polishing wax to protect them. That's because Linax
(13:12):
self polishing wax.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Resists water, it keeps dirt on.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
The surface too, so that you can clean it up instantly,
and because it contains genuine carnoval wax. Linax self polishing
wax resists where although it's simply wiped on without tiresome
rubbing or polishing, and it's handy to use because when
warn spots do appear in the finish, you may renew
it without re waxing the whole floor. There's no doubt
(13:38):
about it. Linax self polishing wax is a splendid finish
for any floor wood, tile or linoleum, for it gives
a beautiful sat in the appearance and gives protection. Besides.
What's more, the underwriter's laboratories whose seal is on every bottle,
have proved that it's less slippery underfoot. Here's the modern
shortcut to floor care Linax l I n dash X
(14:02):
Linax self polishing wax. Ask your dealer for it. Now
you'll find all three great Linax home brightness and kem
tone the miracle wall finish at hardware, paint and department
stores everywhere. And now back to our story. We left
(14:27):
Nick and Sharon as they were being shot at by
an unknown killer who seemed to be hiding in the nearby.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Brush to the ground.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
You're gone now, you'll hurt not much.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Did you see who it was?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
No, sar, the bushes moved, that's all. There wasn't Peter Rabbit.
Let me see that on.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
It's nothing.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Right, just a bad scratch. He'll be all right here.
Let me help you back to the house.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I feel a little fuzzy.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I don't like being shot at.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You're lucky. His aim was no better.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
He might have killed you.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I know what's going on here? Did I hear shooting?
Speaker 7 (15:08):
You did?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Take care of Sharon. I'm going to do some investigating.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Oh there looking for something?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Yes, looking for a killer?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
A killer?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yes. The man I'm looking for has my mark on him.
I found blood in the bushes from which he did
is shooting.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Maybe that's the man I saw.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
What do you mean? Well, I was driving up the
back road and I saw somebody in here. I was curious,
so I stopped and I came in but I must
have missed whoever it was. Well, there's no one here now,
that's sure. So if your car's here, you can drive
me back to the house. Well, of course, car's right
over there behind the tree.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Oh, yes, I see it. Did the killer again?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Anybody? Oh he was a poor shot, but he intended
murder all right. Hm, here we are, climb in, Misscatti.
I see you have a.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Rifle in the car here or yes?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Mind if I look at it? Not at all? Hm,
nice little gun. I haven't had time to clean it,
and have you?
Speaker 5 (16:21):
I know I was doing a bit of hunting this
morning on the way out.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I see.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Let's be getting back, shall we.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well that is a cosist, Muscatti. Look there, just coming
around the corner of the house. I'll glory with a rifle. Mm.
Wonder what he's been shooting. I think I would talk
with him.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Oh, okay, I'll see you later. Hope he's not the
one you were after. Don't got anything you didn't you
see a thing? Nice gun you've got there? And I
see it.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I sure her here here?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Nice bellance? Dirty, isn't it? Thought you hadn't shot her today?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Heaven must have forgot to clear the last.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Time smells pretty fresh for that, well.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
You're getting answer all them questions.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Somebody shot Sharon a little while ago, sar and she
had bed No, but that's only because the killer missed.
You know anything about her, mead, Mister Carter, I loved
that Carl as if she was my own daughter.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
And why Jo accused her last night of killing her brother.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Hendrew's for her own protection, Mister Carter, I hoped you'd
take her away some face, knock her up where she'd
be safe.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Isn't she safe here?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
No, Surrie, she stays around here, she'll be murdered too.
I know what's going on around here.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Who don't want to kill her?
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Where it is?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I'm sorry to interrupt, but missus Fraser's very low. Maybe
you better come up. Sure we're sharing in her room resting?
Oh she does, it'll be all right. Excitement and shock
with too much for If Missus Fraser is really worse,
maybe I better get her yet O me yes, showing
your mother's pretty bad all right now.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Looks about the same to me.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
That nice hangings dous to be sidy and third night and.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Oh, don't be tired to mother she is.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'll wait downstairs. I guess oh they are, Carner.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
I thought you might like to see the results of
the analysis of the milk you say killed Don Fraser.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Yes, i'd like her. You have a sure heal.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
According to this dogs glass of milk contained calcium phosphorus,
light acid.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Water, and five percent butter pan. In other words, mister Carter,
just plain milk.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, how about the other sample I gave you the
milk imus Fraser's glass that didn't even look at.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
The report or that she wasn't killed?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Was she no? But she claims she was being poisoned.
But is that analysis show Let's see, m what's hives?
A slow acting poison Well, I'll be dark.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Says here.
Speaker 9 (19:17):
There was enough higher center in missus Frasier's milk to poisoned.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Have to count it. I thought so then when I
was a dog who got poisoned stead of the.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Old lady shareff.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
This is all part of a well thought up plan,
the plan to.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Commit wholesale murder unless we can stop it. Carter, you're crazy.
You carry any guns?
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Of course I do one better. Let me have it
be safer that way. Why should I turn my gun.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Over to you?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
A sure for this district.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
It's my dude to see that nobody carries a gun.
He ain't got a permit park And I don't trust you.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
You see, things don't exist, Okay, sir.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I know I have no rights in this part of
the state.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
It's a minute.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
Now, you I said, look, what's the idea of taking
out the cartage?
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Just before you turn the gun.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Over to me.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I don't trust you any more than you do me.
I'd hate to be shocked with my own gun.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Why, alright, give it back to you when you're ready
to leave.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I hope it'll be sure, just as soon as I
find out a few answers.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
I don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Nothing that helps, right, Sharon? If you children didn't get
your mother's money once she dies, to whom would it go?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Well, uncle Roy would get it.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And if Uncle Roy didn't get.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It, go to some charity. I say, what are you
getting at?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Does your mother take small doses of hyacinth as a sedative? Yes,
and it's darned expensive, but anybody get at it.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Probably it's not locked up. What is all this?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I wonder? Just how sick your mother really is?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
What you coward trying to drag a stick woman's name
into his mess.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I'm dragging nobody, and I'm just trying to loud. Please,
Misus Frasier's feeling better. Now, where's Uncle Roy? I left
him with Missus Frazier.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
You what great faith? Get out of my way. I
was afraid of that.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Then this is fine, this is mine.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I will repat at the Lloyd ben.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Uncle Roy.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yes, Uncle Roy.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Damn?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
So she killed Uncle Roy, stabbed him.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
In the back.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yes, must have made him lean over the bed and
then drove the knife in his back. I should have
warned you, Mister Caler known for a long time that
she was dangerously insane, that I never dreamed she would
go this far. First Don Now Uncle Roy? Ms Carter,
do you mean that Missus Fraser had anything to do
with was Don's death?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
That's ridiculous. How could she have killed Don?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It was really very easy, Sharon. Just as soon as
I found the analysis showed hyacin and her milk, I
knew the answer. She coached down to try it, and
there was so much poison in it that even the
sip he took was fatal. The poison made him sleepy
and he.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Went to his own room to lie down.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Fine, why should she wanna do it?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I'll get to that in a minute. Well, old missus
Fraser certainly wasn't the one who fired a chain this morning,
naturally not. But if you'd got there little sooner, Alex,
he would have caught the murderer red handed. He stopped
his car by the road, ran into the brush, shot
at Charon, missed her because he was in a hurry,
and then got back in his car and drove on.
Do you know who it was he did the shooting,
mister Carter, I do. It's the same one who was
(22:13):
responsible for Don's death and for Uncle Roy's. You said
mother killed them. You notice I said the one who
was responsible. Your mother isn't responsible. She's just the instrument
the murderer used to accomplish his end.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
But who is it, then, Sharon?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Whose leather jacket is that on the chair behind you?
Leather jacket?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
What is that's?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Doctor gavind me bewore it when he helped me into
the house this morning.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Look at the right sleeve, my sleeve, Oh, I see.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
This blood on It must have come from where I
was shot when I leaned on him.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That isn't your blood, Sharon. You'll find more blood inside
the sleeve, which certainly couldn't have come from your arm.
What are you getting at, miss Carty. The real murderer
is the one who could best work on poor missus
Fraser's mind with drugs and suggestions, the one who implanted
on her sick mind the idea that her children were
evil and wicked, The only one who could have left
a surgeons scalpel where her hand could get at it
once you wanted to stab Uncle Roy in compliance with
(23:07):
his suggestion.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Carr, you mean the doctor Gavin.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yes, Alec, that's what he means, and he's quite right,
doctor Gavin. You it would have worked out except for you, Carr.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I was afraid of you when you first came here.
That's why I tried to kiss you with that urn.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
You ever played your hand, Gavin, you'd help me go
my way as I wanted to. I would never have
given the Phraser household a second thought, but you made
me mad, and that was your mistake. I didn't there
less you go, but you wished you had this morning
when my shots winged you.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
In the arm as you tried to kill Sharon.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I'll get even for that, right now, doctor gun Oh, Yes,
he can sh right, mister Carror, I happen to know
that the sheriff took your gun away from you, so
you're helpless. There will be no last minute gun battle
with you in the fight. There'll just be one shot
for each of you.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
And it is a bunch of cavin.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
But the sheriff and I took one of my gun.
You have a look the one on my shoulder.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Holster that you see is quite effective. Right, Eleck pick
up his gun.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I'll get the sheriff. He'll know what to do with a.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Cowardly rat like this.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
But I don't understand why doctor Gavin wanted to get
the roll killed off.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
What did he hope to get out of it?
Speaker 12 (24:21):
Nick Ever's all got out of the airport, Bessy seems
that this Gavin was an impostor never was a doctor.
Got kicked out of medical school in his senior year
for being mixed up in an illegal operation.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
He met all missus Fraser a few years ago and
in some way convinced her that he.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Was a great doctor.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
As I know, he had no other patience. He concentrated
on her because he knew that she had over a
million dollars showed it away, and.
Speaker 11 (24:44):
He wanted it, But how could he hope to get it, Nick,
even if he did kill off all the other ends.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Well, Patsy, remember I told you that after the children
and not a royer were killed, the money was to
go to some charity.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yes, I remember that.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Well, investigations showed that the charity that was to get
the money was a pony offense that Gavin had fixed
up for the it works. Gavin and the charity were
one on the same thing, and the existed only for
the purpose of getting the praiser a million.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
That's a pretty clever set up it then.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Yes, I haven't forgot what thing to him?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
And what was that?
Speaker 7 (25:11):
When he was whispering biblical quotations to the old lady,
he should remembered the one that goes an eye for
an eye, to choose for a tooth, A life for
a life. Oh, I see what you mean. That's the
one that applies to him right now, A life for
a life. You bet he missed that one.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Now, why you bet you any works from Nick Coh
Just a minute, Nick?
Speaker 11 (25:31):
Oh, hello, lieutenant, I'm talking to Nick right now.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Wanna say all out of it?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
We sure?
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Nick?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (25:37):
Lieutenant Raley just dropped and he wants to say.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Hello to you.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Hold on nothing doing. That's one reason I came up
here for a cage. That's why I wouldn't have to
say a lot of rally. Oh but Nick plastic to
see you when I get back.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
Well, he couldn't wait to talk to you, Lieutenant, but
he said to give you his regards anyway.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
In just a moment, Nick and Passey will give you

to a large and prosperous farm, but the three members
of the family who had owned the farm before him
had all three.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Died within a period of four years.
Speaker 11 (27:45):
Their deaths were also natural and so perfectly open and
above board that he got his niches.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Everything looked too good.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Well, it seems like a peculiar way to feel well.
Can the peculiar part of it came in when we
started our investigations and found he was right.

on your mind? What do you want to see me
about you?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Let make it short, Nick, you're taking a trip.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Of stage, yes, Lieutenant for wonder, Nick is leaving me
in charge of the office and taking a few days off.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It's hard to believe, but it's true.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Well, Nick, you remember Tom Fraser, the young rookie cup
who shut down in cold Blood last week?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yes, indeed, nice young Chap. Sorry to see him go
like that.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
He's forks live in Watertown. He's right on the way
to where you're going. Would you stop off there long
enough to call on him and tell him personal Laker host,
hurry we are, and what happened to him?

Nick would love to do that. He makes beautiful speech.

Quiet patsy satsification I'm taking seems to have gone to
your head, would Nick?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
He's a favorite to me?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay, Riley, I'll do it for you. I suppose the
old folks will feel his death a little less keenly
if we're telling me die a hero and line up, Judy.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I think that's a darn nice thing to do. Nick,
I'm proud of Musaks.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I knew what you'd count on.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Can you take me to the Fraser Place on Upper
Main Street? I sure a kin, mister, get here and
I'll get going emany city, y, Yes, stepping to pay
your respect, you man, eh, I suppose that's what you'd
call it. Why, Oh, just.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Wondered how far you'd get it.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Been expecting somebody ever since young Tom got herself killed.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Family taking it hard.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Some some eat, some we don't know whether they eat
or they eat, meaning what nobody ever gets to see
the old.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Lady you mean, missus Fraser.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Yeah, nobody but her doct Jory's seen her since she
got sick. From what I hear, she might take it anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh little, peculiar little They told Sharon her own daughter.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
She was wild and wicked and she'd better be better
off dead. Same for the boy done.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
That's her house. She's dead there.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Well, nice looking old place, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
It looks don't mean much outside of my package. Don't
tell what's inside?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Uh white place. I'll be right out.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Uh no, I'll come back, but I wanna be if
I said I had come back half an hour.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, okay, but don't forget me.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I won't.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Don't you forget about me?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Nobody's you?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No? Who are you?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Ain't my Caroi? Who are you?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I why? I'm a policeman? Please should steady?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Steady?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And I sad? Drunk? You can't stand up? Hey, he's
a cold and I lay him down.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You ought to be a shame bringing him home in
that condition.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I'm not bringing him home.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'm well taking him out. That's worse.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Look here, I'm Nick Carter and.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I can't Sharon Fraser. What do you want me?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
From missus Fraser? From Lieutenant Riley or the Metropolitan Police.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh, we've been expecting somebody. Come on, I'll take you
to a room. Doctor Gavins is Nick Carter. He wants
to talk to mother.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Uh, nothing exciting, I hope, mister Carter. And that's the
condolences of the Metropolitan Police Department on the recent death
of her son Tom time, Missus Fraser. Lieutenant Riley thought
the world of your son, and he wanted me to
tell you that Tom died in service to the people.
You may well be proud of him.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
Proud of him, he said, Hey, now, thy son, whom
thou best and offer him for the bent offering upon
one of them mountains, which.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well, maybe you don't understand, Missus Frazier, Lieutenant Riley, mister Carter,
erh suppose you'll come outside with me. Well, alright, Missus
Frasier is not fully conscious of what goes on around her. Uh,
you've done all you could. Uh what was all that
she was quoting from the Bible. In cases of this kind,
it's not unusual for the patient who lean heavily on
(06:25):
the Bible as a refuge from reality. But her son, yes, Ani,
mister Carter, there's nothing to be done about it. Alright, doctor,
whatever you say. Well, if you think I can do
it all good here, I'll just get back to the station.
That would be best, I'm sure. And uh, thank you
for con that taxi drivers long over? Tu when if
(06:55):
you ever intended to come back?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yes, say what goes the taxi service in this town?
I'd like to get that train to Albany.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It's already gone.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You'll have to stay here tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
No thanks. I don't care for the atmosphere here. You
feel it too, I do. It's the most unpleasant feeling
of hatred. Hatred that's monstrous and done natural.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, you hey, get a little uneasy here, even in myself.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I'll be glad to have you.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
That's my crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yes, we'll come on.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Let's travel up there.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right, Yeah, what's.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
No reason why.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
I'm here.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
That milk's all right?
Speaker 7 (07:46):
I just thought it up.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
She hasn't even tasted it.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I'm not made her think of his poison.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You tell me you're a detective, on't you?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Where did this milk come from?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
I got it out of the refrigerator. My brother Don
was with me. He got a glass for himself and
brought it upstairs. He stopped to talk to the mother
while I changed my close.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Why is your brother now in his room?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I suppose take me that once it's the next room
to this look for yourself, I.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Will, Sharon, come here?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
What's murder?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Your brother's dead and he's been murdered. Mister Carter, this
is mister Welchard County Sheriff. How are you, chef?
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Doctor Garvin says, you don't think young dal Fraser died.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Of heart failure. He died of heart failure, a right
heart failure brought on by a generous dose of poison.
I'm afraid mister Carter, being from the city, is used
to dealing with the sensational.
Speaker 9 (08:43):
Probably, but since he makes the acquisition, I'll have the
corner analyze a boys class mail.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
There ain't necessary. It was murderer, right, and you know
who did it?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Sharon did it? You're crazy?
Speaker 10 (08:54):
Uncle rohan Ny h you still your lord won't fall
for you if you ain't rich and you aren't money
ship bad you're willing to cure for it's you, you
drunken old bomb. You dares he had to be probably
killed him yourself. If we were all dead, you'd be
the Mondy cover stop at both of you.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
We don't even know Don was killed. It's just that
mister Capper here is oh Alec.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I'm so glad you've cost.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
All right, dear you, Alex Lord, that's right. Thought i'd
better drop in before you city cops carded the whole
household off to jail. I have nothing to do with this.
This is off my beat. Don't let me flow you up, Carr,
Now why I share if I wouldn't. When I'm getting
out of here, killer on no killer, I'd like to
begin into Albany. Where's the phone. It's in the downstairs
entrance hall. You'll see us right at the foot of
the stairs. Thanks. I'll close the door then I won't
(09:38):
disturb anyone whoa don't mind rush. We'll leave her now anyway,
and I and you'll get me there in time for
the one twenty seven to Albany. All right. I'll be
on the porch whenever you get here. And don't fail
me now. I've had too much t but finding someone
(10:00):
that got me out of here to want you just
slip up two, okay, goodbye. I don't know or I
feel it as as.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I must close.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And I know they were so but it earned that
big never fell off that upper landing without being pushed.
I'd better see who's up there. You get some transportation,
mister called on doctor gime here, Yes, I wanna show
you something.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Something wrong? I'll go over the railing see that big earn.
I'll smashed up at the foot of the stairs. Oh yes,
why that just missed me by interest a moment ago.
You think somebody was trying to kill you think I'm
sure of it. Did you hear anyone up here? Well? Yes, yes,
I did think I heard someone out here a minute ago.
(10:58):
So there really is a killer in the house. I
hadn't believed it before you fell.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I hear anything?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Why no?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Did you so I heard a crash?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Well you did? Someone tried to kill me?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Guys, and I did hear somebody tiptoe past my door?
Big bank?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
You know who it was?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
He sounded like they went down the bank stairs.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Kiki, let's see who's down there. If anyone is, which
I doubt you are.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I'll be saved a minute until he's gone.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I don't worry. We'll make it so hot for him
he'll be glad to go.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Oh we can't.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I've changed my mind. I'm staying for the night.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You're staying here. Yes, i'd hoped i'd seen the last
of you.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You almost did until someone dropped that oversized plaster vase
at my head.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
It was a wonderful idea. I'm sorry it missed. Well,
i'll show you where you can sleep.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Come on, a sun feels good damp inside that old house.
Eight o'clark. Wonder what time they serve breakfast around here?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You're snooping early, aren't you?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Why?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yes, lovely morning for it? Out for a walk in
the sunshine.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Just out to get the mail.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
If you must know, I'll let you know if it
is anything to you in the box.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Thanks, but I'm not expecting anything.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Hm happy to say. Nobody else thinks any more of
you than I do. There's no mail gown the ground.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well, this looks more serious. Is someone trying to kill Sharon?
Or is it Nick they're trying to get?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
And why?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
What has this to do with a hate that seems
to rule the Fraser household? We'll see in just a moment.
You youngsters are sometimes thoughtless about tracking in mud, slush
and snow these winter days. Even the careful grown ups
sometimes can't help it. But it needn't be a problem
to keep your floors looking lovely when you depend on
Linax self polishing wax to protect them. That's because Linax
(13:12):
self polishing wax.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Resists water, it keeps dirt on.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
The surface too, so that you can clean it up instantly,
and because it contains genuine carnoval wax. Linax self polishing
wax resists where although it's simply wiped on without tiresome
rubbing or polishing, and it's handy to use because when
warn spots do appear in the finish, you may renew
it without re waxing the whole floor. There's no doubt
(13:38):
about it. Linax self polishing wax is a splendid finish
for any floor wood, tile or linoleum, for it gives
a beautiful sat in the appearance and gives protection. Besides.
What's more, the underwriter's laboratories whose seal is on every bottle,
have proved that it's less slippery underfoot. Here's the modern
shortcut to floor care Linax l I n dash X
(14:02):
Linax self polishing wax. Ask your dealer for it. Now
you'll find all three great Linax home brightness and kem
tone the miracle wall finish at hardware, paint and department
stores everywhere. And now back to our story. We left
(14:27):
Nick and Sharon as they were being shot at by
an unknown killer who seemed to be hiding in the nearby.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Brush to the ground.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
You're gone now, you'll hurt not much.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Did you see who it was?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
No, sar, the bushes moved, that's all. There wasn't Peter Rabbit.
Let me see that on.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
It's nothing.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Right, just a bad scratch. He'll be all right here.
Let me help you back to the house.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I feel a little fuzzy.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I don't like being shot at.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You're lucky. His aim was no better.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
He might have killed you.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I know what's going on here? Did I hear shooting?
Speaker 7 (15:08):
You did?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Take care of Sharon. I'm going to do some investigating.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Oh there looking for something?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Yes, looking for a killer?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
A killer?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yes. The man I'm looking for has my mark on him.
I found blood in the bushes from which he did
is shooting.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Maybe that's the man I saw.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
What do you mean? Well, I was driving up the
back road and I saw somebody in here. I was curious,
so I stopped and I came in but I must
have missed whoever it was. Well, there's no one here now,
that's sure. So if your car's here, you can drive
me back to the house. Well, of course, car's right
over there behind the tree.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Oh, yes, I see it. Did the killer again?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Anybody? Oh he was a poor shot, but he intended
murder all right. Hm, here we are, climb in, Misscatti.
I see you have a.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Rifle in the car here or yes?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Mind if I look at it? Not at all? Hm,
nice little gun. I haven't had time to clean it,
and have you?
Speaker 5 (16:21):
I know I was doing a bit of hunting this
morning on the way out.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I see.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Let's be getting back, shall we.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well that is a cosist, Muscatti. Look there, just coming
around the corner of the house. I'll glory with a rifle. Mm.
Wonder what he's been shooting. I think I would talk
with him.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Oh, okay, I'll see you later. Hope he's not the
one you were after. Don't got anything you didn't you
see a thing? Nice gun you've got there? And I
see it.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I sure her here here?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Nice bellance? Dirty, isn't it? Thought you hadn't shot her today?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Heaven must have forgot to clear the last.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Time smells pretty fresh for that, well.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
You're getting answer all them questions.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Somebody shot Sharon a little while ago, sar and she
had bed No, but that's only because the killer missed.
You know anything about her, mead, Mister Carter, I loved
that Carl as if she was my own daughter.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
And why Jo accused her last night of killing her brother.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Hendrew's for her own protection, Mister Carter, I hoped you'd
take her away some face, knock her up where she'd
be safe.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Isn't she safe here?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
No, Surrie, she stays around here, she'll be murdered too.
I know what's going on around here.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Who don't want to kill her?
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Where it is?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I'm sorry to interrupt, but missus Fraser's very low. Maybe
you better come up. Sure we're sharing in her room resting?
Oh she does, it'll be all right. Excitement and shock
with too much for If Missus Fraser is really worse,
maybe I better get her yet O me yes, showing
your mother's pretty bad all right now.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Looks about the same to me.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
That nice hangings dous to be sidy and third night and.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Oh, don't be tired to mother she is.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'll wait downstairs. I guess oh they are, Carner.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
I thought you might like to see the results of
the analysis of the milk you say killed Don Fraser.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Yes, i'd like her. You have a sure heal.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
According to this dogs glass of milk contained calcium phosphorus,
light acid.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Water, and five percent butter pan. In other words, mister Carter,
just plain milk.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, how about the other sample I gave you the
milk imus Fraser's glass that didn't even look at.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
The report or that she wasn't killed?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Was she no? But she claims she was being poisoned.
But is that analysis show Let's see, m what's hives?
A slow acting poison Well, I'll be dark.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Says here.
Speaker 9 (19:17):
There was enough higher center in missus Frasier's milk to poisoned.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Have to count it. I thought so then when I
was a dog who got poisoned stead of the.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Old lady shareff.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
This is all part of a well thought up plan,
the plan to.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Commit wholesale murder unless we can stop it. Carter, you're crazy.
You carry any guns?
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Of course I do one better. Let me have it
be safer that way. Why should I turn my gun.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Over to you?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
A sure for this district.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
It's my dude to see that nobody carries a gun.
He ain't got a permit park And I don't trust you.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
You see, things don't exist, Okay, sir.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I know I have no rights in this part of
the state.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
It's a minute.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
Now, you I said, look, what's the idea of taking
out the cartage?
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Just before you turn the gun.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Over to me.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I don't trust you any more than you do me.
I'd hate to be shocked with my own gun.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Why, alright, give it back to you when you're ready
to leave.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I hope it'll be sure, just as soon as I
find out a few answers.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
I don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Nothing that helps, right, Sharon? If you children didn't get
your mother's money once she dies, to whom would it go?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Well, uncle Roy would get it.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And if Uncle Roy didn't get.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It, go to some charity. I say, what are you
getting at?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Does your mother take small doses of hyacinth as a sedative? Yes,
and it's darned expensive, but anybody get at it.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Probably it's not locked up. What is all this?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I wonder? Just how sick your mother really is?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
What you coward trying to drag a stick woman's name
into his mess.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I'm dragging nobody, and I'm just trying to loud. Please,
Misus Frasier's feeling better. Now, where's Uncle Roy? I left
him with Missus Frazier.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
You what great faith? Get out of my way. I
was afraid of that.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Then this is fine, this is mine.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I will repat at the Lloyd ben.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Uncle Roy.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yes, Uncle Roy.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Damn?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
So she killed Uncle Roy, stabbed him.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
In the back.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yes, must have made him lean over the bed and
then drove the knife in his back. I should have
warned you, Mister Caler known for a long time that
she was dangerously insane, that I never dreamed she would
go this far. First Don Now Uncle Roy? Ms Carter,
do you mean that Missus Fraser had anything to do
with was Don's death?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
That's ridiculous. How could she have killed Don?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It was really very easy, Sharon. Just as soon as
I found the analysis showed hyacin and her milk, I
knew the answer. She coached down to try it, and
there was so much poison in it that even the
sip he took was fatal. The poison made him sleepy
and he.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Went to his own room to lie down.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Fine, why should she wanna do it?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I'll get to that in a minute. Well, old missus
Fraser certainly wasn't the one who fired a chain this morning,
naturally not. But if you'd got there little sooner, Alex,
he would have caught the murderer red handed. He stopped
his car by the road, ran into the brush, shot
at Charon, missed her because he was in a hurry,
and then got back in his car and drove on.
Do you know who it was he did the shooting,
mister Carter, I do. It's the same one who was
(22:13):
responsible for Don's death and for Uncle Roy's. You said
mother killed them. You notice I said the one who
was responsible. Your mother isn't responsible. She's just the instrument
the murderer used to accomplish his end.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
But who is it, then, Sharon?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Whose leather jacket is that on the chair behind you?
Leather jacket?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
What is that's?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Doctor gavind me bewore it when he helped me into
the house this morning.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Look at the right sleeve, my sleeve, Oh, I see.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
This blood on It must have come from where I
was shot when I leaned on him.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That isn't your blood, Sharon. You'll find more blood inside
the sleeve, which certainly couldn't have come from your arm.
What are you getting at, miss Carty. The real murderer
is the one who could best work on poor missus
Fraser's mind with drugs and suggestions, the one who implanted
on her sick mind the idea that her children were
evil and wicked, The only one who could have left
a surgeons scalpel where her hand could get at it
once you wanted to stab Uncle Roy in compliance with
(23:07):
his suggestion.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Carr, you mean the doctor Gavin.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yes, Alec, that's what he means, and he's quite right,
doctor Gavin. You it would have worked out except for you, Carr.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I was afraid of you when you first came here.
That's why I tried to kiss you with that urn.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
You ever played your hand, Gavin, you'd help me go
my way as I wanted to. I would never have
given the Phraser household a second thought, but you made
me mad, and that was your mistake. I didn't there
less you go, but you wished you had this morning
when my shots winged you.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
In the arm as you tried to kill Sharon.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I'll get even for that, right now, doctor gun Oh, Yes,
he can sh right, mister Carror, I happen to know
that the sheriff took your gun away from you, so
you're helpless. There will be no last minute gun battle
with you in the fight. There'll just be one shot
for each of you.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
And it is a bunch of cavin.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
But the sheriff and I took one of my gun.
You have a look the one on my shoulder.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Holster that you see is quite effective. Right, Eleck pick
up his gun.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I'll get the sheriff. He'll know what to do with a.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Cowardly rat like this.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
But I don't understand why doctor Gavin wanted to get
the roll killed off.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
What did he hope to get out of it?
Speaker 12 (24:21):
Nick Ever's all got out of the airport, Bessy seems
that this Gavin was an impostor never was a doctor.
Got kicked out of medical school in his senior year
for being mixed up in an illegal operation.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
He met all missus Fraser a few years ago and
in some way convinced her that he.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Was a great doctor.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
As I know, he had no other patience. He concentrated
on her because he knew that she had over a
million dollars showed it away, and.
Speaker 11 (24:44):
He wanted it, But how could he hope to get it, Nick,
even if he did kill off all the other ends.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Well, Patsy, remember I told you that after the children
and not a royer were killed, the money was to
go to some charity.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yes, I remember that.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Well, investigations showed that the charity that was to get
the money was a pony offense that Gavin had fixed
up for the it works. Gavin and the charity were
one on the same thing, and the existed only for
the purpose of getting the praiser a million.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
That's a pretty clever set up it then.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Yes, I haven't forgot what thing to him?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
And what was that?
Speaker 7 (25:11):
When he was whispering biblical quotations to the old lady,
he should remembered the one that goes an eye for
an eye, to choose for a tooth, A life for
a life. Oh, I see what you mean. That's the
one that applies to him right now, A life for
a life. You bet he missed that one.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Now, why you bet you any works from Nick Coh
Just a minute, Nick?
Speaker 11 (25:31):
Oh, hello, lieutenant, I'm talking to Nick right now.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Wanna say all out of it?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
We sure?
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Why not?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Nick?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (25:37):
Lieutenant Raley just dropped and he wants to say.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Hello to you.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Hold on nothing doing. That's one reason I came up
here for a cage. That's why I wouldn't have to
say a lot of rally. Oh but Nick plastic to
see you when I get back.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
Well, he couldn't wait to talk to you, Lieutenant, but
he said to give you his regards anyway.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Your next thriller? A young friend of mine fell heir
to a large and prosperous farm, but the three members
of the family who had owned the farm before him
had all three.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Died within a period of four years.
Speaker 11 (27:45):
Their deaths were also natural and so perfectly open and
above board that he got his niches.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Everything looked too good.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Well, it seems like a peculiar way to feel well.
Can the peculiar part of it came in when we
started our investigations and found he was right.
Speaker 11 (27:58):
And found it out only just in time to save
the life of the young fellow himself. The whole thing
was extremely cleverly worked out.
