When Keikim was.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Power, George Keegan's arrest put an end to the wave

That gripped our city for a decade.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He is now imprisoned in the state penitentiary for the
rest of his natural life.
Speaker 9 (02:27):
Gee, the girl on the table sure looks lifelike.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Yeah she is?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Okay, Hey, cap.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Who is that girl just coming to that brother? A
little lady seated in the chair was Keegan's gun law
Edna Kelly.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
She was with it in the high House at the
time of the raid. Hey, look the wax figure fell
off the chair.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
They don't get excited, folks, it's only a wax figure.
I set up again and cat it's it's real needs.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
The body a dead body, a dead body of.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Edna Kelly was really at the Kelly.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
That's the Kelly.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I'm very my speriously murders. We got against the bunt
slave we are we've got about the waxworks, burner up, flavor.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
The mind. You do roll beautifully, but if you don't
pull a trifle harder on that right or we'll hit
that rock there.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We are a little rusty on navigation, Margaret. It's my
first roboat vention.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The pox is string.
Speaker 9 (03:42):
I'm really enjoying it.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
I need a little fresh air and sunshine after that
experience with the waxworks yesterday, it was pretty terrible.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Have you ever happen to go to that face miner Well?
Speaker 8 (03:51):
I was showing the town to my cousin Jane from upstate.
We passed the Waxworth's Museum, and she insisted on going in.
She'd never seen a chamber of horror.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
And she saw more harder than she bargained for him.
Speaker 9 (04:01):
Yes, and so did I. I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Just what was that wax tableau like?
Speaker 9 (04:06):
It was set in a replica of a finnished room
and in the house with Kegan as captured.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
Yes, the figures of Mayor Lewis, District Attorney Armstrong, and
Police Commissioner Weston were grouped about Keegan.
Speaker 9 (04:15):
And Edna Kelly.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Does anyone noticed the figure of the Kelly girl was
actually she into itself from a chair?
Speaker 8 (04:19):
No, the wax figures were so lifelike it In the
second I seem Farrells the Islands. Who that'd be?
Speaker 9 (04:26):
Nice Lamont? Whom do you think killed Edna Kelly?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well, she was a gunman's girl and always the obvious
suspects her lover's enemies or even members of his ganger
might be more comfortable with her out of the way.
But come on, I don't think it was either of these.
Does that strike you that the substitution of the girl's
body of the waxwork in such a spectacular fashion? May
they have some deeper significance than the mere bizarre sects.
(04:50):
What do you mean must have been the girl's connection
with the other people represented in that group have motivated
the murder and bringing her body there. I don't quite
understand my deductions are correct. The taking of mc kelly's
life is only the first of the series of vengeful murders.
Speaker 9 (05:03):
But is that true? Isn't there anything you can do
to for song?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Perhaps I only knew a little more. I only knew
where the killer plans to strike next.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Surely the shadow can find that out your help, my girl,
Perhaps you can.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
A fine bunch of detectives. I've got, mister Buckman, you
call yourself a homicide squad.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That's a laugh.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
But Commissioner West and we've calmed the city logan. Have
you checked on the story of the museum proprietor and commissioner?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You talk to him yourself? Have you verified his segments?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yes, Chief the solid The murderer entered the Waxworks Museum
by a back door. It was found Jimmy after put
that in m Kelly's body and a tableau. He took
the wax image of her outside and.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Buried under some trash in the alley. Did you go
over the image for a finger principled on him?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, but we couldn't find anything about the faith.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh yeah, Commissioner. A funny thing.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
The face of the wax stummy had been slashed with
a knife across the left cheek. Why didn't you tell
me that before? You know what that means as well
as I do.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
That's right, that's.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Demographer squealer, but it couldn't put any mob stuff. The
probation report shows that m the Kelly has been gone
straight ever since Keigan was sent away.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Ask me, I think it was a luna ticket time.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No, same guy had set a dead girl's body up
for exhibition in that waxworks joint. No, it looks to
me like one of them love things, some guy caring
a torch for Kelly.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You're both wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
It was no lunatic that committed that murder, and Edna
Kelly hasn't gone out with anyone since Kegan started his
stretch and wat see ed N the Kelly was murdered
for vengeance by someone who wanted to settle a score
with a lover, George Kegan. Keegan can't be reached in
the big House, so they take it out on the girl.
And what about the mark of the squealer on the
face of the wax figure.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Ties right in?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That was the murderer's way of Kelly Keegan what he
thought of him? Keegan has saved his neck by squealing
on a dozen guys. Say that's right, course is right, Gordona,
First thing in the morning, I want you and Hogan
to conduct a general roundup of every known enemy of
George Keegan.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That won't do any good. Commissioner, take the shadow.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Don't trouble to find him. Why are you here, Shadow?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
To wait you in capturing them?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Or Kelly, what do you know about the case?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I know that you shouldn't be wasting your men's time
rounding up possible suspects while the real assassin is left
free to strike his next blow.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Now see here, Shadow, don't tell me how to run
my department.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Hold on Western I have every reason to suspect that
the placing is a Kelly gold Barty in. The wax
tableau was intended as the warning of other deaths to
follow other deaths.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You think there's going to be more killing me?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Quiet? Hogan? Tell me what you mean, Shadow?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I mean that the other people represented in that wax
tableau are in danger of being killed too, And they
are the mayor, the district attorney, and you yourself, Commissioner Western.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
That sounds preposterous, not at all.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
My advice is that you act quickly. One of you
may be at this moment and Kimmin.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And peril come come shadow.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
What possible motive could the murderer of the girl have
a wishing to kill us as well?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I think that you're excuse me, Hello.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Missus Armstrong. The district attorney's wife wants to put.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Her on Hello. Hello, Yes, missus Armstrong, this is Commissioner Western.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Commissioner.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
I'm gresfully worried about John.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
What's wrong?
Speaker 9 (08:06):
Well, shortly after dinner he went out, said he might
take a walk.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Several hours passed, he didn't return.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
I must have fallen asleep, and when I woke up
a few minutes ago, he still hadn't come back.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh, this isn't like John, Commissioner.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
What time is it now?
Speaker 9 (08:17):
It's after two am.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, now don't be alarm, Missus Armstrong. He's probably detained
somewhere on business. I'll try to locate him for you
and call you back.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh, thank you, this is attorney disappeared.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Disappeared.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Shame well, Commissioner Western, you think shadow the Yes, Commissioner,
I fear that the killer had struck again. Can't be.
If I were you, I would go to the Wexworth
Museum at once. You may arrive in time to stop
this murderer from completing his monstrous work.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Here's the wax museum. Commissioner Western.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Sergeant takes them in around to guard the back. Going, Sir,
don't know there is anyone in the keys to this place.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Now say we'll have to force the lock. All right,
go to it?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Okay, help you all right?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Now, where's the lights?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Never mind us your flash lights?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Hey, kind of scary here, ain't it here? It gives
you the creeps?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
He what's that?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Don't where that guy over there got a knife.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Don't shoot you, fool.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
That's one of the wax dummies. Where is this Keegan tableau?
It's right over here on the left. Oh, so that's it. Well,
I guess nothing's happened yet. Sheep doesn't look like anything's
been disturbed.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
That's the wax dummy of distric Attorney Armstrong sitting down
on a chair, sitting down.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Hey, it seems to me his dummy was tanning up
the last time he was here.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What give me a lift up on the platform quick?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah you like it? Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Splash light of.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Here, good heavens, it's arm thrown?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Is it really, distant, Attorney, I'm throous dead murder, and
he was brought here just like a shadow said, Yes, just.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
As I said, gentlemen, I'm sorry that I couldn't have
warned you earlier.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Who did this? Same shadow? You know who did it?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'm not sure. With your cooperation, Commissioner Western, together we
may bring about his doubtful. I am positive now that
either you or Maile lewis he's the next victim. Not
to go God yourselves.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Well, i'll attend to that, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You will here for me soon, Commissioner, and the Shadow
finds out.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Who the killer is, he will be brought to justice.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I think it's quite evident now, Margaret, even the Commissioner Western,
that the killers aim to do away with everyone concerned
in that tableau in Lamont.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
You you mean the mayor, the Commissioner, and Keegan.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
It's they're the only ones left exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Let me see, I should take a right turn here.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
Lamont, do you believe these murders are the work.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Of the magnet at all? I think that whoever's behind
all this is quite see Margaret, quite sane. What makes
you say that there's the important civic figures in that group?
The removal would be highly advantageous to a political rival.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
But surely political rivalry wouldn't be sufficient motive for But the.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Horrible crime, I wonder.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
And besides the girl.
Speaker 9 (11:34):
M Kelly, how would she get into that picture?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That's but we're driving up here to find out. Uh
as a.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Prison now a cheerful looking spot.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I'm drive you up to the gate, and that you're out,
I sha'n't go in with you?
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
The Wharton mister Driscoll has never been a particular admirer
of mine, feeling which I reciprocate, why, Lamont Well, I
had occasion to expose the graft written conditions in this
prison a few years ago. Naturally, that didn't make me
too popular. Here we are now, Remember when I told you.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
I think so. I'm a reporter from the Daily Globe,
and I've for an interview with Edna Kelly's sweetheart, Kegan.
And when I see him. I'll try to find out
from Please tell me something, mister Keegan.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
The readers of the Daily Globe will send us thousands
of letters expressing your interest in your reactions to the
tragic death miss Kelly.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I ain't got nothing to say about it.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Do you believe that the killing was executed by one
of your enemies?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I wouldn't know you.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
You loved Ednie Kelly, didn't you.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Hey, what are you giving out with the Lonely Hearts column?
Speaker 8 (12:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
No, you see hey off that love stuff.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
But mister Keighan, I I was sent up here by
my paper to get a human interest story from you.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
And after all, well you you were fond of miss Kelly.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
She was your girl, my girl.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Oh no, but I'll tell you what in m Kelly was?
She was the shame with any other day. See she
was a double cross thought. Wait a minute? When Wait
a minute, I I didn't mean that. Don't write nothing
like I just said.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
There.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I you get a little screwy sometimes when they think
about what happened here.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
Oh of course I understand.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
So just don't write nothing, will you?
Speaker 7 (13:20):
What?
Speaker 9 (13:21):
No?
Speaker 8 (13:21):
No?
Speaker 9 (13:22):
But but what about this theory that she was slaying
by one of your enemies, mister Keathon, I wouldn't know,
I tell you.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Lamani fled up so suddenly when I asked him if
he really loved her, I I was scared of that.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He called a double crosser.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
Eh yeah, but he he regretted it the next second
he asked me to be sure and not write anything
about it.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
It's the most interesting my gone. Thank you for your
excellent work.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
But but has what I told you helped you unravel
any greatly?
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Well?
Speaker 6 (13:52):
What happens now?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I think that there are many more interesting facts to
be learned there at prison. Yes, this evening, the Shadows
prepared call on his old frills Warden Drisco.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I mean, can I see you for a minute, Warden?
What's the proble?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Carry?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, it's about Keegan.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
What about him?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Well, I put him in solitary like you told me.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yes, Yes, that was this morning. I've done that, Hey,
Carry What are you trying to tell me? Well?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
He ain't hit no food for the last.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Three meals, so I was I was wondering if something
should be done to make him eat.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
He just lays quiet on his bonx, And I.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Thought I told you that no one was to go
near Keegan sell without my orders.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Well, I thought if he wasn't he hurry?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
If you just beform your duties as guard around here
and let the Wharton do the thinking, everything will be satisfied.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, sure, Warden's sure, and leave Keegan alone. Yeah, yes,
I'm sorry. Good night, Warden. Close that door after you, yes, fool?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Hello? Yes? Oh yes, mag Or did he get away?
All right?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Good?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah? Uh well I'll get him back here before daylight,
no matter what happens. Yeah, okay, tell him I hope
he does a good job. Huh yeah, yeah, now, oh, goodbye.
You seem to be quite amused, Warden' drist school?
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I what who's that? Won't you share your little joke
with me?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Carry?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Are you outside the door? Is that you're talking?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Carry? If this is your idea something funny?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
This is not Carrie? Well? Who are you?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I am?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
The Shadow? The Shadow? Yes, Warden? Well, why are you here?
What do you want with me? I came in when
Carry left. I overheard your phone conversation drist School. It's
very interesting. Really, Yes, I'm more than curious to know
who you were talking about. I listened, Shadow. What business
have you have been? George Keegan on I see here,
(16:01):
I have had enough. Await Warden, I wouldn't advise you
to leave until we've finished our conversation. Oh what do
you waft a shadow? I am seeking the murderer of
Edna Kellyan District Attorney Armstrong. Oh why look here, because
this is where he is to be found. Who do
you mean, George Keegan? Keegan?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh, let's be prosperous.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Proper a man in prison for the rest of his
life suddenly commit to murders? And I said he fifty
miles away?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Very simple, Warden, he just go there? Are you inferring
that Keegan has escaped? Oh no, nothing as crude as that.
But if he were allowed to, shall we say, take
a leave of absence for a night? Keegan has never
left these building? Where as he now in his cell?
Oh no he isn't I investigated before I came here,
(16:50):
and his cell is empty. Oh yes, yes, that's right.
I I forgot. He's in solitary confinement. You mean his
catt is stuffed with pillows to make it appears if
you were in solitary confinement. No, that's not true. I'll
tell you where George Keegan is. He's on his way
to the city right now to add another link to
his chain of cold blooded murders. He's gone there with
(17:13):
your full knowledge and consent. No, it would be a
great political advantage for you to have the District Attorney Armstrong,
the Mayor Lewis, and Commissioner Western out of the way,
wouldn't it. Wharten, No, you don't know what you're talking about.
An easy thing to prey upon the susceptible jealousies of
a man like Keegan. Until you go to him into
carrying out your evil wishes, you can prove what you're saying.
(17:34):
I haven't time to right now warden the lives of
a mayor and the Commissioner at stake. Unless I'm able
to stop Keegan. I shall present more than enough proof
necessary to implicate you to the District Attorney's office in
the morning. So you'd better think hard and fast, Wharton.
Triscal O Margo Lane calling Margo Lane telephone police Commissioner
(18:08):
Western immediately and no time to lose. Tell him that's
the night booth. He and the Mayor in great danger
even now, maybe too late. They do have time to
follow up my instructions. Tell them if they must follow
my instructions. Alright, Mr Mayor, stay sitting at that desk
(18:33):
and keep you back to me. I got a gun here.
Don't turn around. Just listen. I'm George Keegan. Remember me.
You was one of the heroes that made the pinch
when I was picked up. You must remember, boy. They
even got a little statue where you and me down
(18:54):
at the Wax Museum. Now do you know you're letter know,
Mr Mayor, cause I'm sending you down personally to take
that statue's place. Well, why don't you just say something?

fully talk?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
What are your copper?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
No, just your personal nemesis, Kegan. I'd advise you to
drop that gun. Better chance on him, Commisioner Western.
Speaker 5 (20:18):

Speaker 1 (20:22):
This is your waxworks murderer, Commissioner, Thank you, Shadow. You
guys say you got nothing on me?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
How did you get out of jail?
Speaker 1 (20:28):

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Brisco true briscol ate you in these crimes.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Just just go, wasn't it?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Who's that?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Ah? I see you call him?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Good work, Commissioner, oh Wardon, just going? What brings you here?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
This man keep an escape from my prison tonight? And
I learned that his purpose in leaving was to make
good a threat he'd made on the life about our mayor. Hey,
what is this BALOONI you're throwing out? Warden? You're quiet?
You I just learned if this isn't the first time
he's got out either, A very good story, Warden. Only
I think that you're George Keegan could tell us a
different one. Shadow you here?
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
And I sort of expected you'd.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Come to Wharton what's this all about? Shadow?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Perhaps Keegan can explain that to you, Commissioner. How about
that pless and I know, squillsy, what's that? Boardenin tell
the truth that one better? That's all I gotta say, Commissioner,
what is this all about? Am I being placed on
a suspicion here in the testimony of a shadow of
stun minute warden?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
What are you holding back? Kegan?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I can answer that for you, Commissioner, Western Keegan is
shielding the warden as the real instigator of the Waxwork's murders.
That's a lie. He wanted you all as the way, Commissioner,
so he employed Keegan as his instrument of murders.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Don't listen to him, warm Shadow.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
At first, he had to give Keegan sufficient incentive to
perform these crimes, so he went to work on his emotions.
Is jealousy? Oh? He told Keagan that his girl, Edna
Kelly had been double crossing him right along. Kegan, this
was a lie. Huh what do you mean? She was
on a level? Absolutely, Keegan? Why Trescott have another?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Go on, go and roll in pain, just like getting
a done before she died. That's right, Ry to talk
that's what she done. So when I laughed at it,
I laughed at it.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Laugh at that's what I take him away, laugh at it, driscoll. Commissioner, Well,
perhaps that's for the best. Oh Shadow, are you still there?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yes, Commissioner.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I want to thank you heartily for this nice work.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I seek no credit, Commissioner, However, I have a suggestion
for you. What's that If the Wax Museum decides to
create a new tableau depicting this present event, it might
be wise for you to arrange to be excluded from it.
It gives people ideas. The weed of crime bears bitter fruit.
(23:15):
Crime does not pay. The Shadow knows
Who knows what apl serkship the Hearts of Faith.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
A shadow lord.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
The Shadow la Mont Cranston, a man of wealth, a
student of science, and a master of other people's minds,
devotes his life to righting wrongs, protecting the innocence, and
punishing the guilty using advanced methods that may ultimately become
available to all law enforcement agencies. Cranston is known to
the underworld as the Shadow, never seen, only heard as haunting,
(00:40):
to superstitious minds, as a ghost as inevitable as.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
A guilty conscience.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
The Shadow's true identity is known only to his constant
friend and aid, Margot Lane.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Today's story murders in.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Wat Heydies and gentlemen, we invite you to step inside
and you the illuminating and educational exhibits that are the
features of our wax mex see blue Beard actually slaying
(01:13):
his eight wives, he cussed his last stand, He's the
capture of George Keegan, put Togeemy Jumba one and many
other threading life light tableaux. The place of admission is
only one dime ten cents on.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Our lecturer is just starting and.

Speaker 7 (01:39):
As a.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Wady gentlemen, if you'll just step over.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Here on the next platform, I shall describe to you
the tales of the feature tableau of our exhibits. Say
they look like real people, don't, Yeah, how you make
them with wax? This tableau is a dramatic reenactment of
the capture of George Keegan, a notorious gang chief of
Prohivision Day.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
He was arrested in the manner shown right here.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No doubt you all recognized the figures of the brave
men who personally led the police squad who made the capture.
On the left, the wax figure of our own Mayor
Lewis Better, our district Attorney Armstrong, and right police Commissioner.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Western When do you beat me?
Speaker 8 (02:17):
Here?
Speaker 9 (02:17):
When Keikim was.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Power, George Keegan's arrest put an end to the wave
of crime and lawlessness.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That gripped our city for a decade.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He is now imprisoned in the state penitentiary for the
rest of his natural life.
Speaker 9 (02:27):
Gee, the girl on the table sure looks lifelike.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Yeah she is?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Okay, Hey, cap.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Who is that girl just coming to that brother? A
little lady seated in the chair was Keegan's gun law
Edna Kelly.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
She was with it in the high House at the
time of the raid. Hey, look the wax figure fell
off the chair.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
They don't get excited, folks, it's only a wax figure.
I set up again and cat it's it's real needs.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
The body a dead body, a dead body of.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Edna Kelly was really at the Kelly.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
That's the Kelly.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I'm very my speriously murders. We got against the bunt
slave we are we've got about the waxworks, burner up, flavor.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
The mind. You do roll beautifully, but if you don't
pull a trifle harder on that right or we'll hit
that rock there.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
We are a little rusty on navigation, Margaret. It's my
first roboat vention.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The pox is string.
Speaker 9 (03:42):
I'm really enjoying it.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
I need a little fresh air and sunshine after that
experience with the waxworks yesterday, it was pretty terrible.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Have you ever happen to go to that face miner Well?
Speaker 8 (03:51):
I was showing the town to my cousin Jane from upstate.
We passed the Waxworth's Museum, and she insisted on going in.
She'd never seen a chamber of horror.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
And she saw more harder than she bargained for him.
Speaker 9 (04:01):
Yes, and so did I. I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Just what was that wax tableau like?
Speaker 9 (04:06):
It was set in a replica of a finnished room
and in the house with Kegan as captured.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
Yes, the figures of Mayor Lewis, District Attorney Armstrong, and
Police Commissioner Weston were grouped about Keegan.
Speaker 9 (04:15):
And Edna Kelly.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Does anyone noticed the figure of the Kelly girl was
actually she into itself from a chair?
Speaker 8 (04:19):
No, the wax figures were so lifelike it In the
second I seem Farrells the Islands. Who that'd be?
Speaker 9 (04:26):
Nice Lamont? Whom do you think killed Edna Kelly?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well, she was a gunman's girl and always the obvious
suspects her lover's enemies or even members of his ganger
might be more comfortable with her out of the way.
But come on, I don't think it was either of these.
Does that strike you that the substitution of the girl's
body of the waxwork in such a spectacular fashion? May
they have some deeper significance than the mere bizarre sects.
(04:50):
What do you mean must have been the girl's connection
with the other people represented in that group have motivated
the murder and bringing her body there. I don't quite
understand my deductions are correct. The taking of mc kelly's
life is only the first of the series of vengeful murders.
Speaker 9 (05:03):
But is that true? Isn't there anything you can do
to for song?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Perhaps I only knew a little more. I only knew
where the killer plans to strike next.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Surely the shadow can find that out your help, my girl,
Perhaps you can.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
A fine bunch of detectives. I've got, mister Buckman, you
call yourself a homicide squad.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That's a laugh.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
But Commissioner West and we've calmed the city logan. Have
you checked on the story of the museum proprietor and commissioner?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You talk to him yourself? Have you verified his segments?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yes, Chief the solid The murderer entered the Waxworks Museum
by a back door. It was found Jimmy after put
that in m Kelly's body and a tableau. He took
the wax image of her outside and.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Buried under some trash in the alley. Did you go
over the image for a finger principled on him?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, but we couldn't find anything about the faith.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Oh yeah, Commissioner. A funny thing.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
The face of the wax stummy had been slashed with
a knife across the left cheek. Why didn't you tell
me that before? You know what that means as well
as I do.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
That's right, that's.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Demographer squealer, but it couldn't put any mob stuff. The
probation report shows that m the Kelly has been gone
straight ever since Keigan was sent away.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Ask me, I think it was a luna ticket time.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No, same guy had set a dead girl's body up
for exhibition in that waxworks joint. No, it looks to
me like one of them love things, some guy caring
a torch for Kelly.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You're both wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
It was no lunatic that committed that murder, and Edna
Kelly hasn't gone out with anyone since Kegan started his
stretch and wat see ed N the Kelly was murdered
for vengeance by someone who wanted to settle a score
with a lover, George Kegan. Keegan can't be reached in
the big House, so they take it out on the girl.
And what about the mark of the squealer on the
face of the wax figure.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Ties right in?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That was the murderer's way of Kelly Keegan what he
thought of him? Keegan has saved his neck by squealing
on a dozen guys. Say that's right, course is right, Gordona,
First thing in the morning, I want you and Hogan
to conduct a general roundup of every known enemy of
George Keegan.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That won't do any good. Commissioner, take the shadow.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Don't trouble to find him. Why are you here, Shadow?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
To wait you in capturing them?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Or Kelly, what do you know about the case?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I know that you shouldn't be wasting your men's time
rounding up possible suspects while the real assassin is left
free to strike his next blow.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Now see here, Shadow, don't tell me how to run
my department.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Hold on Western I have every reason to suspect that
the placing is a Kelly gold Barty in. The wax
tableau was intended as the warning of other deaths to
follow other deaths.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You think there's going to be more killing me?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Quiet? Hogan? Tell me what you mean, Shadow?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I mean that the other people represented in that wax
tableau are in danger of being killed too, And they
are the mayor, the district attorney, and you yourself, Commissioner Western.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
That sounds preposterous, not at all.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
My advice is that you act quickly. One of you
may be at this moment and Kimmin.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And peril come come shadow.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
What possible motive could the murderer of the girl have
a wishing to kill us as well?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I think that you're excuse me, Hello.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Missus Armstrong. The district attorney's wife wants to put.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Her on Hello. Hello, Yes, missus Armstrong, this is Commissioner Western.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Commissioner.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
I'm gresfully worried about John.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
What's wrong?
Speaker 9 (08:06):
Well, shortly after dinner he went out, said he might
take a walk.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Several hours passed, he didn't return.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
I must have fallen asleep, and when I woke up
a few minutes ago, he still hadn't come back.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh, this isn't like John, Commissioner.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
What time is it now?
Speaker 9 (08:17):
It's after two am.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, now don't be alarm, Missus Armstrong. He's probably detained
somewhere on business. I'll try to locate him for you
and call you back.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh, thank you, this is attorney disappeared.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Disappeared.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Shame well, Commissioner Western, you think shadow the Yes, Commissioner,
I fear that the killer had struck again. Can't be.
If I were you, I would go to the Wexworth
Museum at once. You may arrive in time to stop
this murderer from completing his monstrous work.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Here's the wax museum. Commissioner Western.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Sergeant takes them in around to guard the back. Going, Sir,
don't know there is anyone in the keys to this place.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Now say we'll have to force the lock. All right,
go to it?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Okay, help you all right?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Now, where's the lights?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Never mind us your flash lights?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Hey, kind of scary here, ain't it here? It gives
you the creeps?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
He what's that?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Don't where that guy over there got a knife.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Don't shoot you, fool.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
That's one of the wax dummies. Where is this Keegan tableau?
It's right over here on the left. Oh, so that's it. Well,
I guess nothing's happened yet. Sheep doesn't look like anything's
been disturbed.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
That's the wax dummy of distric Attorney Armstrong sitting down
on a chair, sitting down.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Hey, it seems to me his dummy was tanning up
the last time he was here.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What give me a lift up on the platform quick?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah you like it? Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Splash light of.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Here, good heavens, it's arm thrown?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Is it really, distant, Attorney, I'm throous dead murder, and
he was brought here just like a shadow said, Yes, just.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
As I said, gentlemen, I'm sorry that I couldn't have
warned you earlier.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Who did this? Same shadow? You know who did it?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'm not sure. With your cooperation, Commissioner Western, together we
may bring about his doubtful. I am positive now that
either you or Maile lewis he's the next victim. Not
to go God yourselves.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Well, i'll attend to that, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You will here for me soon, Commissioner, and the Shadow
finds out.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Who the killer is, he will be brought to justice.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I think it's quite evident now, Margaret, even the Commissioner Western,
that the killers aim to do away with everyone concerned
in that tableau in Lamont.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
You you mean the mayor, the Commissioner, and Keegan.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
It's they're the only ones left exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Let me see, I should take a right turn here.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
Lamont, do you believe these murders are the work.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Of the magnet at all? I think that whoever's behind
all this is quite see Margaret, quite sane. What makes
you say that there's the important civic figures in that group?
The removal would be highly advantageous to a political rival.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
But surely political rivalry wouldn't be sufficient motive for But the.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Horrible crime, I wonder.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
And besides the girl.
Speaker 9 (11:34):
M Kelly, how would she get into that picture?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That's but we're driving up here to find out. Uh
as a.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Prison now a cheerful looking spot.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I'm drive you up to the gate, and that you're out,
I sha'n't go in with you?
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
The Wharton mister Driscoll has never been a particular admirer
of mine, feeling which I reciprocate, why, Lamont Well, I
had occasion to expose the graft written conditions in this
prison a few years ago. Naturally, that didn't make me
too popular. Here we are now, Remember when I told you.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
I think so. I'm a reporter from the Daily Globe,
and I've for an interview with Edna Kelly's sweetheart, Kegan.
And when I see him. I'll try to find out
from Please tell me something, mister Keegan.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
The readers of the Daily Globe will send us thousands
of letters expressing your interest in your reactions to the
tragic death miss Kelly.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I ain't got nothing to say about it.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Do you believe that the killing was executed by one
of your enemies?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I wouldn't know you.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
You loved Ednie Kelly, didn't you.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Hey, what are you giving out with the Lonely Hearts column?
Speaker 8 (12:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
No, you see hey off that love stuff.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
But mister Keighan, I I was sent up here by
my paper to get a human interest story from you.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
And after all, well you you were fond of miss Kelly.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
She was your girl, my girl.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Oh no, but I'll tell you what in m Kelly was?
She was the shame with any other day. See she
was a double cross thought. Wait a minute? When Wait
a minute, I I didn't mean that. Don't write nothing
like I just said.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
There.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I you get a little screwy sometimes when they think
about what happened here.
Speaker 9 (13:13):
Oh of course I understand.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
So just don't write nothing, will you?
Speaker 7 (13:20):
What?
Speaker 9 (13:21):
No?
Speaker 8 (13:21):
No?
Speaker 9 (13:22):
But but what about this theory that she was slaying
by one of your enemies, mister Keathon, I wouldn't know,
I tell you.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Lamani fled up so suddenly when I asked him if
he really loved her, I I was scared of that.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He called a double crosser.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
Eh yeah, but he he regretted it the next second
he asked me to be sure and not write anything
about it.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
It's the most interesting my gone. Thank you for your
excellent work.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
But but has what I told you helped you unravel
any greatly?
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Well?
Speaker 6 (13:52):
What happens now?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I think that there are many more interesting facts to
be learned there at prison. Yes, this evening, the Shadows
prepared call on his old frills Warden Drisco.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I mean, can I see you for a minute, Warden?
What's the proble?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Carry?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, it's about Keegan.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
What about him?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Well, I put him in solitary like you told me.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yes, Yes, that was this morning. I've done that, Hey,
Carry What are you trying to tell me? Well?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
He ain't hit no food for the last.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Three meals, so I was I was wondering if something
should be done to make him eat.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
He just lays quiet on his bonx, And I.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Thought I told you that no one was to go
near Keegan sell without my orders.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Well, I thought if he wasn't he hurry?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
If you just beform your duties as guard around here
and let the Wharton do the thinking, everything will be satisfied.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, sure, Warden's sure, and leave Keegan alone. Yeah, yes,
I'm sorry. Good night, Warden. Close that door after you, yes, fool?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Hello? Yes? Oh yes, mag Or did he get away?
All right?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Good?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah? Uh well I'll get him back here before daylight,
no matter what happens. Yeah, okay, tell him I hope
he does a good job. Huh yeah, yeah, now, oh, goodbye.
You seem to be quite amused, Warden' drist school?
Speaker 7 (15:26):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I what who's that? Won't you share your little joke
with me?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Carry?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Are you outside the door? Is that you're talking?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Carry? If this is your idea something funny?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
This is not Carrie? Well? Who are you?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I am?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
The Shadow? The Shadow? Yes, Warden? Well, why are you here?
What do you want with me? I came in when
Carry left. I overheard your phone conversation drist School. It's
very interesting. Really, Yes, I'm more than curious to know
who you were talking about. I listened, Shadow. What business
have you have been? George Keegan on I see here,
(16:01):
I have had enough. Await Warden, I wouldn't advise you
to leave until we've finished our conversation. Oh what do
you waft a shadow? I am seeking the murderer of
Edna Kellyan District Attorney Armstrong. Oh why look here, because
this is where he is to be found. Who do
you mean, George Keegan? Keegan?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh, let's be prosperous.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Proper a man in prison for the rest of his
life suddenly commit to murders? And I said he fifty
miles away?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Very simple, Warden, he just go there? Are you inferring
that Keegan has escaped? Oh no, nothing as crude as that.
But if he were allowed to, shall we say, take
a leave of absence for a night? Keegan has never
left these building? Where as he now in his cell?
Oh no he isn't I investigated before I came here,
(16:50):
and his cell is empty. Oh yes, yes, that's right.
I I forgot. He's in solitary confinement. You mean his
catt is stuffed with pillows to make it appears if
you were in solitary confinement. No, that's not true. I'll
tell you where George Keegan is. He's on his way
to the city right now to add another link to
his chain of cold blooded murders. He's gone there with
(17:13):
your full knowledge and consent. No, it would be a
great political advantage for you to have the District Attorney Armstrong,
the Mayor Lewis, and Commissioner Western out of the way,
wouldn't it. Wharten, No, you don't know what you're talking about.
An easy thing to prey upon the susceptible jealousies of
a man like Keegan. Until you go to him into
carrying out your evil wishes, you can prove what you're saying.
(17:34):
I haven't time to right now warden the lives of
a mayor and the Commissioner at stake. Unless I'm able
to stop Keegan. I shall present more than enough proof
necessary to implicate you to the District Attorney's office in
the morning. So you'd better think hard and fast, Wharton.
Triscal O Margo Lane calling Margo Lane telephone police Commissioner
(18:08):
Western immediately and no time to lose. Tell him that's
the night booth. He and the Mayor in great danger
even now, maybe too late. They do have time to
follow up my instructions. Tell them if they must follow
my instructions. Alright, Mr Mayor, stay sitting at that desk
(18:33):
and keep you back to me. I got a gun here.
Don't turn around. Just listen. I'm George Keegan. Remember me.
You was one of the heroes that made the pinch
when I was picked up. You must remember, boy. They
even got a little statue where you and me down
(18:54):
at the Wax Museum. Now do you know you're letter know,
Mr Mayor, cause I'm sending you down personally to take
that statue's place. Well, why don't you just say something?
You're scared that to it? Where's all that fancy gabb
(19:15):
that your hand out a bank? What's a meetings? Come on?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Speak up?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
What come matter?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
What't you speak up? Was your? Al right? Then you
get yours just the same, looks like I just brought
about a special election. Nah, Mr Mayor, I'll just take
this corpse, so yours down at the museum and then
(19:43):
they let's just this ain't nobody so tell me your plant.
But you've gotten your targets mixed, haven't you? Keeeken? Who's that?
Aren't you surprised to find yourself shooting?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Get a whack dummy?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Come on in the open. Who are you? I'm right
here with you. I am your shadow came and cannot
fully talk?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
What are your copper?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
No, just your personal nemesis, Kegan. I'd advise you to
drop that gun. Better chance on him, Commisioner Western.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Him call me, got away from him?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
This is your waxworks murderer, Commissioner, Thank you, Shadow. You
guys say you got nothing on me?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
How did you get out of jail?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I blow out the wood with the help of Warden.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Brisco true briscol ate you in these crimes.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Just just go, wasn't it?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Who's that?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Ah? I see you call him?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Good work, Commissioner, oh Wardon, just going? What brings you here?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
This man keep an escape from my prison tonight? And
I learned that his purpose in leaving was to make
good a threat he'd made on the life about our mayor. Hey,
what is this BALOONI you're throwing out? Warden? You're quiet?
You I just learned if this isn't the first time
he's got out either, A very good story, Warden. Only
I think that you're George Keegan could tell us a
different one. Shadow you here?
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
And I sort of expected you'd.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Come to Wharton what's this all about? Shadow?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Perhaps Keegan can explain that to you, Commissioner. How about
that pless and I know, squillsy, what's that? Boardenin tell
the truth that one better? That's all I gotta say, Commissioner,
what is this all about? Am I being placed on
a suspicion here in the testimony of a shadow of
stun minute warden?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
What are you holding back? Kegan?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I can answer that for you, Commissioner, Western Keegan is
shielding the warden as the real instigator of the Waxwork's murders.
That's a lie. He wanted you all as the way, Commissioner,
so he employed Keegan as his instrument of murders.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Don't listen to him, warm Shadow.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
At first, he had to give Keegan sufficient incentive to
perform these crimes, so he went to work on his emotions.
Is jealousy? Oh? He told Keagan that his girl, Edna
Kelly had been double crossing him right along. Kegan, this
was a lie. Huh what do you mean? She was
on a level? Absolutely, Keegan? Why Trescott have another?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Go on, go and roll in pain, just like getting
a done before she died. That's right, Ry to talk
that's what she done. So when I laughed at it,
I laughed at it.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Laugh at that's what I take him away, laugh at it, driscoll. Commissioner, Well,
perhaps that's for the best. Oh Shadow, are you still there?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yes, Commissioner.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I want to thank you heartily for this nice work.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I seek no credit, Commissioner, However, I have a suggestion
for you. What's that If the Wax Museum decides to
create a new tableau depicting this present event, it might
be wise for you to arrange to be excluded from it.
It gives people ideas. The weed of crime bears bitter fruit.
(23:15):
Crime does not pay. The Shadow knows
