Speaker 2 (02:03):
Diamond.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That's right, Come in.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
My name is Heiden? To stuff? Heiden?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
How do you do? Was to Heiden? Once you have
a seat?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I would like for you to protect me for the
next two days, protect you from what. Well, maybe I
should start at the beginning by trade. I'm a gun maker.
Before I was fortunate to come to this country, I
worked in German. Do you mind if I smoke?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
He pulled out a very old, hand carved pipe and
stuffed it into a worn leather pouch. He was a
little man, two winches over five feet. I guessed his
age to be somewhere in the sixties. He talked of
his home in Germany before Hitler had moved in the Stormtroopers.
He told me about his wife and how she had
died in a prison camp because she was at a Nazis.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
They allowed me to work because I was making a
very advanced rifle and Adolf could use such a rifle.
But when he took my wife, I destroyed my blue
prints and was myself in turns to another prison camp.
They tried to beat my secret.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Out of me.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I live somehow. Then the war was over.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Your ruh pipe's gone out.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Look So this I hope I'm not boring you, mister Diamond.
I have a sister Anna. I sent her to America
before the trouble came. She's the widow and his one
son phebe. She have heard of her son, mister Diamond.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
William erely, No, I can't say that I have. Well,
you will. He is a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Some day he will be a very big lawyer.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You were said you wanted me to protect you, mister
haydn Yea.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
My sister, with the help of William, arranged for me
to come to the United States. I was quite ill
when I arrived, and I sent me to the summer
Cap'an in the Catskills. I soon was better and took
great pleasure in his place. So as they have allowed
me to stay here, said cap'n, and make it my home.
See really even made for me a complete workshop at
(04:04):
my disposal. And in the last two years I've occupied myself.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
With my old trade making guns.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, I have finally produced my new rifle, mister Diamond,
that someone has tried to steal it.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Well, if somebody's trying to steal it, we should go
to the FBI or the police.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think that, mister Diamond, But it would involve my
sister and her son. I'm not sure how good this
rifle is until after I tested, and I don't wish
to have my family involved unless the rifle is a
good one.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Have you any idea who might have tried to steal it? No,
how long do you want? Protection?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Only for two days when I test the gun, and
then I want somebody to go with me to write
people so I may show the rifle to them.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Well, I I charge one hundred a day and expenses,
mister h I have.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
No money, only what really gives to me each month
for living costs. But if you will take a chance,
swiss me, mister Diamond. But the rifle is a success,
I will see you are well reward.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And if the government doesn't want the rifle.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Like myself, al to have lost such your time and effort.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Where's the rifle now?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
In my shop in Zakatskis.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Oh hell, if somebody's already tried to steal it, aren't
you taking a big chance?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Such a caretaker. My nephew hired him when I moved in.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Where was the caretaker when the attempt was made to
steal a rifle?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
We were both asleep. I had a noise in the
shop and went out to see Albert. That's the caretaker
heard it also. We both got to the shop about
the same time. Whoever it was, we must have frightened
him away. But someone had been there. The window was open,
and much of my equipment had been moved.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
All right, mister hid and I'll gamble with you.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh, thank you, mister Diamond, thank you. I'm going to
see my sister now, but I will meet you at
the ticket window eleven Grand Center Station at eight o'clock.

And now back to tonight's adventure with Richard Diamond, Private
Detective starring Dick Powell.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Alice said Wald I was supposed to meet him here
with the ticket window. Oh, I'm Sam, this is ticket
window eleven.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I was give him a few.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Minutes, and we gave good stuff hide more than a
few minutes.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
At eight o'clock we were still waiting.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
At eight fifteen, the train hiding and I were supposed
to take pulled out. You stood up let's check with
the ticket seller. Pardon me, sir, I mean I talk
with you for a minute.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Circlely, what can I do for you business? Oh? Did
you notice a little man standing near this window?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
About five three, big bunch of gray hair, old brown hat.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And suit, button shoes, smoking a big pipe. That's him.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Sure, I couldn't help, but notice him stood around for
about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Seam leave, yeah, left for the man, big guy. Do
you remember what the big guy looked like? I didn't
pay much attention, just big.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
What do you think, Rick?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I think we'd better look up Gustaff Hideen's sister.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
But what is the sole bart Lieutenant Gustaf for the
train station? An hour ago? It was going back to
the mountain.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
It's nothing to be alarmed about, missus Elick. He just
didn't take the train.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Are you certain? We checked?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
But I still don't understand, mister Diamond, what's your interest
in my brother?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Well?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
He retained me this morning to protect him, to protect him,
protect him from what, mister Earlick. He said someone was
trying to steal a new rifle. He was developing a
new rifle, a.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Gun he started designing a long time ago in Germany.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
He never told us anything, but well.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I don't believe he wanted to involve you until it
was all finished and tested.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
If it was a success, he was going to turn
it over to the government. He certainly kept it a secret.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I helped him fix up a workshop, and I just
thought it was to keep occupied.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
An old man, you know, wanted to keep busy.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
And mister Diamond, do you think something's happened to him
because of this rifle?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Well maybe not, but if you hear from him, please
contact Lieutenant Levinson at the fifth Precinct Police Station. Hannah
Airlike gave us the location of the mountain cabin where
Hyden was living, and we left. Walt went back to
the station put out a description on the missing Gunsmith
(16:11):
and I caught the next train for the Catskills.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It was morning when I climbed off the train and.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Hired an old car to take me the five miles
back into the woods, twenty minutes of Bunty Road, and
I arrived at the cabin to be met with the caretaker.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Thanks driver, you want somethee? Oh yes, sir, mister Hyden,
what did you want him for? He's here? Didn't you
think he'd be. I'd like to talk to him, please,
I don't know. He's in kind of a strange mood.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
He in about four this morning, acting like you've seen
alba Uh yeah, mister Hyden shows a ginger main.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yes, sir, this will be alibet, yes, sir. Hey, mister Diamond,
what you're doing here?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I saw your sister.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We talked with my sister. Your faces boost.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Two men beat me up.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Mister Diamond. I did not meet your desation because I
changed my mind. I'm sure sorry you made this long trip,
but I have no need.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
For your service. What changed your mind?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I decided not to go on?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Who was the man you left the station with? The
big man? The ticket agent saw you.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Oh, he must have made a mistake.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
This is please business now, mister Hyden, Please leave. I
can't I want to know what this is all about.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Please please, I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I like to see your rifle.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Mister, mister Diamond, I don't care what has happened. I
cannot allow you.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Mister Hyden, you might as well cooperate. If I leave here,
I'll leave with you.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh no, you don't know what it would mean.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Look the two men who beat me up are dead.
There's a dragnet out for you. If you want me
to help, maybe I can do you some good. It's
up to you. I must think, okay. But while you're thinking,
i'd like to see that rifle.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Of course, I keep it locked in this closet. All
that is left is to test it.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Love, I'd like the firet I.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Have decided to tell you everything, mister Diamond.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
And I'm glad you.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Were right about the big men I was leaving the
station with. He wanted me to forget my dealings with
you and not to call in the police. Then he
told me here and demanded the rifle and the plans.
I told him the rifle was not nearly finished, but
I gave him a set of blue points and he left.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Then they've got the plans.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They have some plans. I expected something like this, and
I drew up several sets of prints that will be
no good to anyone. But I don't know what to
do now. My sister and her son are in danger.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
The first thing we've got to do is get hold
of Lieutenant Levinson. Tell him I found you. He'll give
you a family, and I am guard if necessary.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
But we don't know who's his men are? Who they're
working for? You can't guard my sister and nephew forever.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
A matter for the FBI. We've got two dead bodies
to identify. They might give us a lead. Oh, somebody
just drove up.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
We can see from this window, you know the car. Wait,
it looks like really's car.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
It is your nephew.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Oh why did he come here? Really?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Oh, unclesaf We've been worried, sick. We couldn't wait to
hear from mister Diamond, so I drove up. Mothers beside herself.
So really I should have notified mister Diamond said, you
left the station with the man, will tell you all
about it. In the way back, glic, I'm gonna put
in the call of the lieutenant and tell him the
call off the dogs is.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
The telephonies into other room. Mister Diamond. Thanks, I'm sorry
to make all this trouble.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Really, I couldn't do anything else. What's it all about?
Mister Diamond mentioned something about a new rifle.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I was going to tell you, but I wanted to
till have a certain of a platform.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
But you certainly should have told me.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I could have told hello.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I think that would have made an operator.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Are you and for me?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Diamond?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
The phone's dead us. We've never had any trouble with
it before. That's what I was afraid of. Where's that caretaker?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
He was here a moment ago, Haiba, Yes, sir, the
phone's dead, Alban.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
It was was working all right a little while ago.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
I called the store in order some some groceries.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Come on, you're gonna show us those phone lines.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
That's the phone line coming down from the trees over
the house right.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Well, what do you know, Yeah, the line's been cut.
That's all right, mister Hayden, mister Diamond, I'll just take
it easy. Mister Aick. We're all gonna pile in your
car and get out of here.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Wait, don't you see what this can mean? My sister's
alone back in New York. You can't reach the police
to keep us unnecessary protect.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Well, we certainly can't stay here. We must.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I can't take a chance on my sister's life. I
would give them the rifle.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
And the pleasure. Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
If you give it to them, you don't think they're
gonna let you live, or, for that matter, let any
one of us get out of here.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Alive.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I'm an it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Sorry, we're all getting into that car.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
No, mister Diamond, I cannot.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Wait a minute. Diamond.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
In a way, he's right. My mother's life is important. Also,
I can appreciate that, mister air Lake, but we're only
presuming she might be in danger.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
We know that your uncle is, and that rifle's too important.
I won't leave. I'm afraid you'll have to, and I
wouldn't like to use force. Now, come on, all of
you get in that car.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Wait just a minute, mister Diamond, No one's leaving this cabin.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Look earlick you.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Look really, you don't have to use a gun.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I'm afraid I do.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Uncle, but you can't cut up and get over there
with mister Diamond. Shut up, you old fool, get over there.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
He better do as he says.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I don't understand.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
It's not too hard to figure on, Albert. Yeah, you
don't get that rifle. Well, now wait a minute, go
and get the rifle. Look, I'm the man you've been
expecting you.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Do you think I would have hired you as caretaker
unless I knew you were working with us?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Now go bring that rifle.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yes, sir, really you are behind all this.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Now, Now, don't be so naive, uncle.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I've been with the party for years, the party me.
You didn't think we were a bunch of thugs, did you.
There's a difference, that's all.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Right, Diamond.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Enjoy yourself.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
You don't have too long.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I simply can't believe it.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
And Donna mother knows nothing about it.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
She couldn't understand.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
And I'll but telling everything I did.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
That's how they kept such close tabs on you, mister Hyden.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
They tried to get the gun first by stealing it
when you came to my office. They thought you had
given me the plans and sent to their strong arms
to beat it out of me. That didn't pay off,
so they had you picked up at the station. You
gave the big man the wrong plans, and up came
your sweet little Matthew.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
But if I didn't Albert to steal that, he could
have many times.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
You'd have been the first one suspected. Quite shrewd, mister Diamond.
Oh yeah, I'm a deli.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
You played it pretty cozy too early. Even your own
man didn't know you were running the show. Here it is,
mister Irlick. I brought some shells in case you wanted
to see it work. Good.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Well, Uncle, I suppose you're just as interested in the
performance of your rifle as I am. You can try
it right here, Albert, Yes, sir, pick a good target.
Walk down the road about one hundred yards and see
if you can kill mister Diamond on the first shot.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Really relaxed, mister Hydners. Nothing we can go about it.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You are completely right for the first time, mister Diamond.
Go ahead, Albert h move away, uncle, and if you
try anything, mister Diamond, then.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I shall have to shoot you.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Move away, Uncle, No, No, I think I should stand
with my.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Friend, mister Hyden. Please.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I am sure they don't tend to let me leave anyway.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Contrary, Uncle, we were planning a long voyage for you.
If we know of a place I could use man
of your talents.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I see, I prefer to stand with my friend very well.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
All, but yeah, don't do it, mister Hyden.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
After mister Diamond, mister Haighten. O the first mister Diamond,
then my uncle.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Okay, it's good enough.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
No move farther down.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I want my uncle to see how good this gun
really is.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Okay, but the first couple of shots might be off.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
This thing hasn't been there yet. Mister Hyden, please get
out of the way.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
This is all right if I smoke my pipe, for certainly,
there's nothing like a good pipe and good tobacco. Did
you ever see Germany before the all, mister Diamond, No,
in the spring, beautiful, I used to take long walks
and smoke my pipe. I can't complain. I have some
(25:01):
wonderful memories.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Do you ever see Hell's kitchen in the middle of
the summer? No stinks He's okay, Well, mister Diamond, and
get it over with.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
That's fine, all right, Albert.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I hope to talk with you again, mister Diamond, dumb place.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
You're a nice guy, I guess, mister Diamond, I don't know.
I'm still too scared to find art.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
I didn't know whether I could hit him or not.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
You made mister Diamond is shot. Really, he wasn't even
time to hit you.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I think i'd better sit down.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
But I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Oh wait until good old Albert gets back here. Hi,
I think you'll find out he's more than a caretaker.
Bless his little heart, and good old Albert was a
little more than a caretaker. His real name was Backstairs
Speculation for the FBI, working for the past six years
(26:03):
as undercover man inside Alick's organization. The last time I
saw Gus, the government has accepted his rifle. He was
smiling and smoking his old pipe. We talked for a
long time, just like he'd hoped we would.

My name is Heiden? To stuff? Heiden?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
How do you do? Was to Heiden? Once you have
a seat?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I would like for you to protect me for the
next two days, protect you from what. Well, maybe I
should start at the beginning by trade. I'm a gun maker.
Before I was fortunate to come to this country, I
worked in German. Do you mind if I smoke?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
He pulled out a very old, hand carved pipe and
stuffed it into a worn leather pouch. He was a
little man, two winches over five feet. I guessed his
age to be somewhere in the sixties. He talked of
his home in Germany before Hitler had moved in the Stormtroopers.
He told me about his wife and how she had
died in a prison camp because she was at a Nazis.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
They allowed me to work because I was making a
very advanced rifle and Adolf could use such a rifle.
But when he took my wife, I destroyed my blue
prints and was myself in turns to another prison camp.
They tried to beat my secret.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Out of me.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I live somehow. Then the war was over.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Your ruh pipe's gone out.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Look So this I hope I'm not boring you, mister Diamond.
I have a sister Anna. I sent her to America
before the trouble came. She's the widow and his one
son phebe. She have heard of her son, mister Diamond.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
William erely, No, I can't say that I have. Well,
you will. He is a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Some day he will be a very big lawyer.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You were said you wanted me to protect you, mister
haydn Yea.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
My sister, with the help of William, arranged for me
to come to the United States. I was quite ill
when I arrived, and I sent me to the summer
Cap'an in the Catskills. I soon was better and took
great pleasure in his place. So as they have allowed
me to stay here, said cap'n, and make it my home.
See really even made for me a complete workshop at
(04:04):
my disposal. And in the last two years I've occupied myself.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
With my old trade making guns.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, I have finally produced my new rifle, mister Diamond,
that someone has tried to steal it.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Well, if somebody's trying to steal it, we should go
to the FBI or the police.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think that, mister Diamond, But it would involve my
sister and her son. I'm not sure how good this
rifle is until after I tested, and I don't wish
to have my family involved unless the rifle is a
good one.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Have you any idea who might have tried to steal it? No,
how long do you want? Protection?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Only for two days when I test the gun, and
then I want somebody to go with me to write
people so I may show the rifle to them.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Well, I I charge one hundred a day and expenses,
mister h I have.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
No money, only what really gives to me each month
for living costs. But if you will take a chance,
swiss me, mister Diamond. But the rifle is a success,
I will see you are well reward.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And if the government doesn't want the rifle.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Like myself, al to have lost such your time and effort.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Where's the rifle now?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
In my shop in Zakatskis.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Oh hell, if somebody's already tried to steal it, aren't
you taking a big chance?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Such a caretaker. My nephew hired him when I moved in.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Where was the caretaker when the attempt was made to
steal a rifle?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
We were both asleep. I had a noise in the
shop and went out to see Albert. That's the caretaker
heard it also. We both got to the shop about
the same time. Whoever it was, we must have frightened
him away. But someone had been there. The window was open,
and much of my equipment had been moved.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
All right, mister hid and I'll gamble with you.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh, thank you, mister Diamond, thank you. I'm going to

And now back to tonight's adventure with Richard Diamond, Private
Detective starring Dick Powell.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Alice said Wald I was supposed to meet him here
with the ticket window. Oh, I'm Sam, this is ticket
window eleven.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I was give him a few.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Minutes, and we gave good stuff hide more than a
few minutes.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
At eight o'clock we were still waiting.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
At eight fifteen, the train hiding and I were supposed
to take pulled out. You stood up let's check with
the ticket seller. Pardon me, sir, I mean I talk
with you for a minute.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Circlely, what can I do for you business? Oh? Did
you notice a little man standing near this window?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
About five three, big bunch of gray hair, old brown hat.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And suit, button shoes, smoking a big pipe. That's him.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Sure, I couldn't help, but notice him stood around for
about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Seam leave, yeah, left for the man, big guy. Do
you remember what the big guy looked like? I didn't
pay much attention, just big.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
What do you think, Rick?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I think we'd better look up Gustaff Hideen's sister.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
But what is the sole bart Lieutenant Gustaf for the
train station? An hour ago? It was going back to
the mountain.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
It's nothing to be alarmed about, missus Elick. He just
didn't take the train.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Are you certain? We checked?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
But I still don't understand, mister Diamond, what's your interest
in my brother?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Well?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
He retained me this morning to protect him, to protect him,
protect him from what, mister Earlick. He said someone was
trying to steal a new rifle. He was developing a
new rifle, a.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Gun he started designing a long time ago in Germany.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
He never told us anything, but well.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I don't believe he wanted to involve you until it
was all finished and tested.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
If it was a success, he was going to turn
it over to the government. He certainly kept it a secret.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I helped him fix up a workshop, and I just
thought it was to keep occupied.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
An old man, you know, wanted to keep busy.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
And mister Diamond, do you think something's happened to him
because of this rifle?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Well maybe not, but if you hear from him, please
contact Lieutenant Levinson at the fifth Precinct Police Station. Hannah
Airlike gave us the location of the mountain cabin where
Hyden was living, and we left. Walt went back to
the station put out a description on the missing Gunsmith
(16:11):
and I caught the next train for the Catskills.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It was morning when I climbed off the train and.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Hired an old car to take me the five miles
back into the woods, twenty minutes of Bunty Road, and
I arrived at the cabin to be met with the caretaker.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Thanks driver, you want somethee? Oh yes, sir, mister Hyden,
what did you want him for? He's here? Didn't you
think he'd be. I'd like to talk to him, please,
I don't know. He's in kind of a strange mood.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
He in about four this morning, acting like you've seen
alba Uh yeah, mister Hyden shows a ginger main.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yes, sir, this will be alibet, yes, sir. Hey, mister Diamond,
what you're doing here?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I saw your sister.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
We talked with my sister. Your faces boost.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Two men beat me up.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Mister Diamond. I did not meet your desation because I
changed my mind. I'm sure sorry you made this long trip,
but I have no need.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
For your service. What changed your mind?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I decided not to go on?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Who was the man you left the station with? The
big man? The ticket agent saw you.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Oh, he must have made a mistake.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
This is please business now, mister Hyden, Please leave. I
can't I want to know what this is all about.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Please please, I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I like to see your rifle.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Mister, mister Diamond, I don't care what has happened. I
cannot allow you.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Mister Hyden, you might as well cooperate. If I leave here,
I'll leave with you.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh no, you don't know what it would mean.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Look the two men who beat me up are dead.
There's a dragnet out for you. If you want me
to help, maybe I can do you some good. It's
up to you. I must think, okay. But while you're thinking,
i'd like to see that rifle.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Of course, I keep it locked in this closet. All
that is left is to test it.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Love, I'd like the firet I.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Have decided to tell you everything, mister Diamond.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
And I'm glad you.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Were right about the big men I was leaving the
station with. He wanted me to forget my dealings with
you and not to call in the police. Then he
told me here and demanded the rifle and the plans.
I told him the rifle was not nearly finished, but
I gave him a set of blue points and he left.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Then they've got the plans.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They have some plans. I expected something like this, and
I drew up several sets of prints that will be
no good to anyone. But I don't know what to
do now. My sister and her son are in danger.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
The first thing we've got to do is get hold
of Lieutenant Levinson. Tell him I found you. He'll give
you a family, and I am guard if necessary.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
But we don't know who's his men are? Who they're
working for? You can't guard my sister and nephew forever.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
A matter for the FBI. We've got two dead bodies
to identify. They might give us a lead. Oh, somebody
just drove up.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
We can see from this window, you know the car. Wait,
it looks like really's car.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
It is your nephew.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Oh why did he come here? Really?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Oh, unclesaf We've been worried, sick. We couldn't wait to
hear from mister Diamond, so I drove up. Mothers beside herself.
So really I should have notified mister Diamond said, you
left the station with the man, will tell you all
about it. In the way back, glic, I'm gonna put
in the call of the lieutenant and tell him the
call off the dogs is.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
The telephonies into other room. Mister Diamond. Thanks, I'm sorry
to make all this trouble.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Really, I couldn't do anything else. What's it all about?
Mister Diamond mentioned something about a new rifle.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I was going to tell you, but I wanted to
till have a certain of a platform.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
But you certainly should have told me.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I could have told hello.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I think that would have made an operator.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Are you and for me?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Diamond?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
The phone's dead us. We've never had any trouble with
it before. That's what I was afraid of. Where's that caretaker?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
He was here a moment ago, Haiba, Yes, sir, the
phone's dead, Alban.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
It was was working all right a little while ago.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
I called the store in order some some groceries.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Come on, you're gonna show us those phone lines.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
That's the phone line coming down from the trees over
the house right.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Well, what do you know, Yeah, the line's been cut.
That's all right, mister Hayden, mister Diamond, I'll just take
it easy. Mister Aick. We're all gonna pile in your
car and get out of here.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Wait, don't you see what this can mean? My sister's
alone back in New York. You can't reach the police
to keep us unnecessary protect.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Well, we certainly can't stay here. We must.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I can't take a chance on my sister's life. I
would give them the rifle.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
And the pleasure. Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
If you give it to them, you don't think they're
gonna let you live, or, for that matter, let any
one of us get out of here.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Alive.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I'm an it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Sorry, we're all getting into that car.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
No, mister Diamond, I cannot.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Wait a minute. Diamond.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
In a way, he's right. My mother's life is important. Also,
I can appreciate that, mister air Lake, but we're only
presuming she might be in danger.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
We know that your uncle is, and that rifle's too important.
I won't leave. I'm afraid you'll have to, and I
wouldn't like to use force. Now, come on, all of
you get in that car.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Wait just a minute, mister Diamond, No one's leaving this cabin.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Look earlick you.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Look really, you don't have to use a gun.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I'm afraid I do.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Uncle, but you can't cut up and get over there
with mister Diamond. Shut up, you old fool, get over there.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
He better do as he says.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I don't understand.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
It's not too hard to figure on, Albert. Yeah, you
don't get that rifle. Well, now wait a minute, go
and get the rifle. Look, I'm the man you've been
expecting you.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Do you think I would have hired you as caretaker
unless I knew you were working with us?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Now go bring that rifle.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yes, sir, really you are behind all this.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Now, Now, don't be so naive, uncle.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I've been with the party for years, the party me.
You didn't think we were a bunch of thugs, did you.
There's a difference, that's all.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Right, Diamond.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Enjoy yourself.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
You don't have too long.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I simply can't believe it.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
And Donna mother knows nothing about it.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
She couldn't understand.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
And I'll but telling everything I did.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
That's how they kept such close tabs on you, mister Hyden.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
They tried to get the gun first by stealing it
when you came to my office. They thought you had
given me the plans and sent to their strong arms
to beat it out of me. That didn't pay off,
so they had you picked up at the station. You
gave the big man the wrong plans, and up came
your sweet little Matthew.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
But if I didn't Albert to steal that, he could
have many times.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
You'd have been the first one suspected. Quite shrewd, mister Diamond.
Oh yeah, I'm a deli.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
You played it pretty cozy too early. Even your own
man didn't know you were running the show. Here it is,
mister Irlick. I brought some shells in case you wanted
to see it work. Good.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Well, Uncle, I suppose you're just as interested in the
performance of your rifle as I am. You can try
it right here, Albert, Yes, sir, pick a good target.
Walk down the road about one hundred yards and see
if you can kill mister Diamond on the first shot.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Really relaxed, mister Hydners. Nothing we can go about it.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You are completely right for the first time, mister Diamond.
Go ahead, Albert h move away, uncle, and if you
try anything, mister Diamond, then.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I shall have to shoot you.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Move away, Uncle, No, No, I think I should stand
with my.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Friend, mister Hyden. Please.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I am sure they don't tend to let me leave anyway.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Contrary, Uncle, we were planning a long voyage for you.
If we know of a place I could use man
of your talents.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I see, I prefer to stand with my friend very well.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
All, but yeah, don't do it, mister Hyden.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
After mister Diamond, mister Haighten. O the first mister Diamond,
then my uncle.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Okay, it's good enough.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
No move farther down.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I want my uncle to see how good this gun
really is.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Okay, but the first couple of shots might be off.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
This thing hasn't been there yet. Mister Hyden, please get
out of the way.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
This is all right if I smoke my pipe, for certainly,
there's nothing like a good pipe and good tobacco. Did
you ever see Germany before the all, mister Diamond, No,
in the spring, beautiful, I used to take long walks
and smoke my pipe. I can't complain. I have some
(25:01):
wonderful memories.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Do you ever see Hell's kitchen in the middle of
the summer? No stinks He's okay, Well, mister Diamond, and
get it over with.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
That's fine, all right, Albert.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I hope to talk with you again, mister Diamond, dumb place.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
You're a nice guy, I guess, mister Diamond, I don't know.
I'm still too scared to find art.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
I didn't know whether I could hit him or not.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
You made mister Diamond is shot. Really, he wasn't even
time to hit you.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I think i'd better sit down.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
But I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Oh wait until good old Albert gets back here. Hi,
I think you'll find out he's more than a caretaker.
Bless his little heart, and good old Albert was a
little more than a caretaker. His real name was Backstairs
Speculation for the FBI, working for the past six years

saw Gus, the government has accepted his rifle. He was
smiling and smoking his old pipe. We talked for a
long time, just like he'd hoped we would.
