Speaker 1 (00:10):
From New York, the makers of clipper Craft Clothes for
men and Live one hundred and twenty four leading retail
stores from coast to coast present the word's most famous detective,
Sherlock Holmes. Her stories are based upon the character of
(00:35):
Sherlock Holmes, created vi Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes
is portrayed by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley,
and the dramatizations are by Edith Meiser. Well, here we
are again in front of Doctor Watson's cheery fireplace. A
bitter December wind makes us glad to be inside, toasting
(00:55):
out toes and listening to a Sherlock Holmes adventure.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
What's it me tonight? Dr Watson? Will if you see tonight,
I think I'll tell.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
You how Holme's arch enemy, the diabolical Professor Moriarty, came
close to disrupting the Queen's Diamond Judy festivities.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
You mean the celebration that marked the sixtieth year of
the Red Queen Victoria.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Right on that occasion, London was a mecca for adventurers
and thieves, drawn by the many visiting potentates and the
notables all wearing their most fabulous jewels and ligant trackings.
And oh, by the way, speaking of glad rags, as
Hugh Yankees call it, aren't you rather dressing yourself tonight?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Mister Harris? I wondered how long before you had noticed
my new suit? Talck to us, not stand up, Let's
have a look. Yes, not bad at all? Is it
do mean? Is it a Clippercraft suit? You bet it
is done? Now I know why my frenzy.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Clippercraft means what the well dressed man will wear if
he wants to get his money worth. Yes, I wonder
if I spoke to Santa Claus, I've tried something like that.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
That's stalking here.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
All I can say is there's nothing the average mail
would rather find under the Christmas tree than a clipper
Craft suit.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
But the vissit to me is how doly many to
turn out that handsome rig at the price.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Well, Doctor Watson, that mystery doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes
to solve. Here's how clipper Craft makes it easy for
a man to look his best on Christmas morning, and
hundreds of mornings they're actor. It's through the clipper Craft plan,
which concentrates the bank power of nine hundred and twenty
four leading stores across the nation, making tremendous savings and
manufacturing and distribution costs. The plan brings you the finest
(02:32):
clothes at prices far less than you expect to pay
at your own local independence.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Store, at the store you can trust.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Beautifully tailored Clippercraft suits are only forty and forty five dollars.
Top coats and overcoats are only forty dollars. Yes, indeed,
the friends who drop in on Christmas Day will think
your clothes costs twice as much. For clipper Craft values
are so amazing, we urge you to compare them with
clothes selling for many dollars more. And now, doctor Watson,
(03:09):
supposing we get back to her Majesty's Diamond Julie and
the gentleman who had tried to spoil the celebration.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
All London was on faint, mister Harris.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
The festivities were endless garden parties, concerts, parades.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The intacity was no holiday mood offer. But my friend Sherlock.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Holmes, he had drawn the blinds to shut out the
brilliant spring sunshine and lay moping on the sofa, morostly
pulling parfect tassels of his ancient dressing gown. For Hem's sake,
homes back up and stop us strewing bits of silk
(03:47):
all over the carpet. You look as if you were
molting everyone else. He's overjoyed at the celebrations.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Le'll be alone. I'm having my own private celebration.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Uh what are you celebrating in this particularly lugubrious fashion?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Watson, You realize it's just six years since Professor Moriarty
and I pushed each other into the writing back falls.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You never came back, Poor chaff In are going to
tell me you're sorry? You finally rich society of that monster?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
No, I suppose not the think what an occasion of
this sort would have meant to him.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Theaters and ball rooms fairly.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Dripping with jewels, intrigue and cabals on every street corner,
but a veritable Eldorado for a master criminal like Professor Moriarty.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And what's happened? Nothing? Absolutely nothing?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Well, you like your Scotland Yards sacred it They've been
working night and day to protect the holidaymakers.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Scotland Yard.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
How would Scotland Yard have prevail against a master mind
like Mariarty. Yes, the one antagonist I ever found who
is my mental equal?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Ahne, will you forget? If you hadn't finished here, he'd
have finished you. You ought to thank you like his
tars has gone, instead of moping about like a dang dubb.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
See what it is? What's the Men's a good film
in activity? That's rare. That was wrong with you, Holmes?
If you've engaged in any law, all the lock your pa. Yes,
miss Hudson's there's a letter for you, Holmes.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Missus Hudson says it was delivered bare hand, probably some
people whose pet poodle is alope with someone else's spaniel.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'm uninterested.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Purple letter paper, addressed in a large scrawling hand. There's
a strange sort of crisscross the upper left hand corner
of the envelope.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But that's Watson, give me that envelope.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Well all right, you need to snatch it out of
my hand by all, But holy that's not a double crisscross.
It's a letter, m Watson. It's Professor Moriarty's handwriting.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh you're off your head, homes. This Moriarty business has
become an obsession. Hed Fekes you'd better go out and
fresh head and get some exercise.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Or you'll be imagining that you see.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
He let a Watson listen to this to the world's
greatest detective, mister Sherlock Holmes warning at least he doesn't
under rate me a Watson.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Oh, go to blazes you will, don't just be astounded
to learn. I am alive. I managed to survive.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Our little personal encounter in Switzerland, not without sustaining physical damage.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Which kept me in the hospital for over a year.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
The remainder of the time which has intervened since we
last met, has been spent in building myself a new organization.
You destroyed my last one, If you remember, I shall
not soon forgive you for that. You doubtless look on
yourself as society's protector.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You are wrong. I like that, dougg it roup Watson.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
The more I am forteed, the greater is my first
revenge on society.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I have held my hand long enough. From the day forward,
look out for me.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I shall begin this afternoon by staging a daring jewel robbery.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
In the strand.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
To night, a sudden lady at the command performance in
Albert Hall will lose her famous morals tomorrow and the
day after I shall perpetrate some utrage.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
He's ranting like a madman.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And last, but not least, you and your curry doctor
Watson will be put out of the way. I take
pleasure in advising you of the fact that your hepatude
and his friend doctor Watson will be the first to
go signed moriarty, So I am to bid at first
he doesn't fact me the old babbelheaded car.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
If I say her, sir, what.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Is heabitudinous hipitude the smidier Watson means rather blunted mentally?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh it does, does it? What's happening Albert Hall to night? Watson?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I believe it's a constant bad and in a petty
everyone will be there.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You ain't thinking of at tending? I suppose, why not, Watson?
Why not? You might tell missus Hudson to shake the
camper out of our evening clothes. I wonder if I
have a clean stiff shirt. Oh dash it. All these
(07:32):
seems to be the difficulty, Watson.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Oh everything shrank, my collar, my waist cut, even my
evening pumps.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Why has it when.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Anything's laid away in muffball for a few months in inevitable.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It comes out of sice smaller. It couldn't be because
you've grown a size larger.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I suppose. Oh shut up right there, you see.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You see what happens when I lose my temper. But
I just popped another button. I suggest you to send
to the kitchen an alarm Missus Hudson to.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Repair the damage. Oh now what it sounds like your
confounded clients. Don't worry. I'll get rid of him in
short order.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I better take the backstairs down to the kitchen once,
and you don't want to be caught in a disarray
in case the client is.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
A lady who good lord as the bloom in the
spring Traeler. Come in, mister Holmes, mister Sherlock Holmes. Yes,
I am Hector Pumfret, the Pumfret, Pumfort and Smock.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
We're the best known duel as in London's the Holmes
by appointment to his heirs, the Prince of Wales.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
No left, of.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Course, of course, you have a shop in the strand
and you've just been robbed, mister Holmes. How did you
know it happened less than an hour ago? My dear
mister Pumfret, I have rather special sources of information.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's incredible. I haven't informed anyone, not even the police.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You see, some of the stolen jewels weren't my property.
Lady Biddlesworth pearls, for instance, as she said, would be restrung. Then,
of course the great Burmese Ruby I had that fund consignment.
I practically sold it to that wealthy Missuster Custer Jones
from Denver.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
We will ruin my business if they about to recover.
Pity to stop.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Ratious that such things should be allowed to happen in
a civilized country, and in broad daylight.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
What's happened in broad daylight? A stroke? Where did you
come from? And what sounded you mean? Bursting? You?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Honest like this, mister Pomfret. I understand you've been burgled.
I've come to see about it.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I'm inspected a charade of Scotland yard. Well, I don't
want you to go away. You may not.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Want me, mister Pomfret, but your partner, mister Smart does.
He's the one that sent for me. He tell me
where you'd popped off to. So I came round to
make sure you didn't get any bad advice.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Thank you lestrade for the vote of confidence. And now
I suppose you sit here quietly. Oh, mister Pumfret tells
me just what occurred where mister Holmes. I was in
the shop alone.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
It was getting late and I was about to lock
up when a nice, respectable Youngish man walked in the door.
He wore a Prince Albert, carry a silver headed malacca stick,
a small.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Black satchel, and had just the suggestion of a limp.
Pardon me, or mister Pomfret. I believe why, yes, is
there's something you can do for yourself. I wasn't the
point of locking up.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
But if there's anything you want to know, nothing very
important to play there. I've just broken the crystal of
my water. I'm a doctor who, seeing my watches are
as important bit of equipment.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
In my profession. Of course, I understand. Well, I'll see
if we have a crystal to fit, if you don't
mind waiting a moment. No, no, not at all.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I had amused myself by looking at the handsome baubles
in this showcase here.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
They're more than baubles, I assure you, mister Watson. Dr Watson,
we'll let Ruby in the middle to where the King's
ransom as they say. Yes, if we are this, crystals
fit just as likely pressures.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
So and there we are. Here's your watch, doctor Watson.
The charge of me too, Hill, and keep.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
The watches service purpose. I prefer the ruby and the
other bables. You can beck, or you'll be cut by
flying glass for doctor watching put on that case.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Well stop it, I'd be wrong, Stop me.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Stop, but quick as a flash, he starts. The content
said the showcase ran out the door and was lost.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
In the crowds, showing no signs of a limp I
taking mister Pomford, Why no, suppose the lip?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Certainly wasn't it evident.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
That he ran out of the shop, leaving his watch behind. Yes,
I've brought it with me. I've heard you can deduce
a man's entire history from his watch. Well here it
is interesting, very interesting. The thing that interested me about
mister Pompford's story was that these name Watson, doctor Watson,
my dearest chard.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You don't suppose any jewel thief is going to be
foolish enough to give his right name. I'm not so sure.
What did he look like, mister Pomford. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Not bad looking bit above medium hype, the mustache slightly
grea at the temple.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, I think I think that the whole. If I
don't take a deep breath, I'm sorry what As a
matter of fact, the thief looked very much like Oh no,
why joke? He was this gentleman who just came in.
What thief you're talking about now?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Oh we're leaving the Strada house a Scotlandyard's prize watch dogger?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Oh there's my watch? Where health did you find?
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Where have you left a Dodtor Watson in my shop?
When you matched my showcase and made off with the
Burmese ruby. Not to mention Lady Middleswoo's pearls hers? What's
the man raving about? As if you didn't know?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
So you turned bebe Dr Watson. This association with shirrac
Elves is responsible, no doubt. I've always suspected you to
work both sides of the speachy.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Once it's all about him, has everyone gone mad? I
think I can explain the confusion. Watson.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You'll not talk your way out of it this time,
mister shurak Elmes. We've got the goods on your friend,
Doctor Watson. Mister pomfret Is made a positive identification. Hell,
I'd been looking forward to using these nd cuts on
new chaps.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
For Heaven's sake.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Let Strat sit down and try not to be a
bigger fool intended.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It's also perfectly simple here. Read this letter I.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Received this morning and see if you can comprehend what
danger we're really in it you take more than a letter,
Shut up and read it now, then, Watson, when did
you first miss your watch?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
While? Let miss it?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
But it was this morning when I wanted to take
missus Hilton's pulse. I was positivised to get into my
pocket when I ad dressed this morning. But I suppose
I left you behind on a bureau I sometimes.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
No, Watson, you took it with you. Remember you told
me the times you were about to leave? Yes, right,
so I did. Then how did you get here?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
The watch was lifted from your pocket by one of
the light fingers gently and Mariotti's employ Later this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It was used by another gentleman who.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Impersonated you and robbed the jewelry shop of mister Pumfret, here,
leaving the watch behind to incriminate you.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Or the black of the filthy black arden in the
entire afternoon.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
You why you can give me an.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Alibi homes naturally easy to If you won't believe me
less start, perhaps you'll take missus Hudson's word. She spent
the afternoon letting out Dr Watson's dress shirt and fitting
it to his person.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
This is incredible, fantastic. The feat was exactly like your friend,
mister Holmes.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Always thank you, thank you about Professor Moriarity and his outfit.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I've never even seen the man.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
How do I know there is such a person, But
just have to take my word for it the starred.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Incidentally, we shall miss the best.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Part of the concert at Albert Horror. Lets be hurry,
oh good lord, and I have to rush home and dress.
I'm sitting at missuster Comston Jones's box.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You know who cares?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I shall have to go to keep an eye on
those blasted tierras. I suppose, ha, I mused.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I know, but you wouldn't want to miss the Professor's
next robbery.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Come along Withstauran, Yes, Watson, I think we shall station
ourselves here at the foot of the camspaircase.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Whose amerules you think, Marie art is after I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It could be the Maharani of Saiba, or the Bolivian
millionaires senor.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
A boldaro ah.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
There comes Lestan. It looks agitated. What's up restaurant? Anyone
purloined the Punjulase women.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Already better in this but has lost an expensive brooch
and to have met him to run Severe's.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Diamond bracelets are missing.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Sounds if Mariart's millions were warming up to the man
and then rubbish.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
It's these fool females never make sure the catches are probably.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Though, thank Joe Robes.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Look look at that enormous redheaded woman coming in the
carriage entrance.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
She looks like an animated Christmas tree us enough to
blind you.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
That's Missus de Cumpson Jones, the American. She has board
duels and most of the crown needs in Europe.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yes, and most particularly she has an emerald necklace.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
That makes the maharayes on the signoras look like something
at the vicar's tea party.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I see, look who's beside her, the little pipsty is.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It's a direct to comfort, so he didn't keep her waiting.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
After all, it must be a quick change out his day, Watson,
he needed to be giving him what for.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Here they came the stark. I suggest you'll received them.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
To her box while doctor Watson and I bring up
the rear. Those emiral will certainly deserve a god of honor.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
He is an. I'm pretty mad at you, pop friend,
my dear missus joke. You know dog gone well, I
wanted that roomy.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
But I assure you, Missus Joseph was stolen, stolen and
bought daylight.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Don't make me laugh. Some other coming off to your
better price. But you're not kidding me, Dear missus Jones.
I'll assure you that jewel was stolen. Evening. Start a
good evening if this is instead of the stars cuffing job, mister.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Jones, here's gunly why pra lookay, mister pompfret, I wonder
if you could persuade missus Jones to make sure all
her duer catches out and work in order.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Young man, I'm quite capable of taking care of him
own affairs.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Come on, Pumfret, Yes, Missus Jones.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Hey, get off on the plane.
Speaker 2 (16:22):

someone tried to trip me up. Gollyn. The necklace, mammal
necklace is gone. Somebody stolen. I've been wrong. I've been wrong.
I everyone, yeah, no steal everybody. Don't do hands. I
felt someone's hand on the back of my neck.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Then the necklace was gone.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Where did it go? Very far? I assure you no
one has moved. Whoever took it's within arms reached. Oh.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I was on one side of here, and mister Pomfret
on the other, and Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson were
directly in bested in back.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
That's wear our fella's hand on the back of my neck.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
It's not Doctor Watson ropped my shop. But I didn't
talk me out of it. You regained, you back off,
didn't killed me you I did. I didn't touch the emeralds.
Silly things, probably a lightly story.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, always search me. If you don't believe it, well
will That's why search him? What's that bulge in his
left hand pocket? The emeralds and more?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Besides, would this be your room be mister Pomfrets and
lady what's the name's pearls?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yes? This is the odd brooch and the missing diamond
prices as well. Quite a hole what's a congratulations, does it?
Doctor Watson? You're under arrath so that this is preposterous.
It are grace homes don't just tender like an say
do something? What is that to do? My dear Watson,

(17:46):
may be the safest place for you. Home.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Oh, come in, ah, Inspector Lestrade. Happened about early on
you after last night's festivities.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
A patty was an excellent voice. Didn't you think I
didn't listen?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I was busy see and no more duels were stolen,
even with doctor Watson safely under lock and key. As
a matter of fact, home, several other pieces did turn up, Missen,
the Duchess of Wentworth tiera lady mowner's diamond Stomacher. Oh
look here those you don't think it's possible? Those duos
were planted? And after Watson.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Lestrade, you astonish me every now and then you show
signs of intelligence. By the way, I had a further
communication from Professor Moriante this morning, like I don't suppose
I could stop you quite, My dear mister Shomock Holmes,
yesterday's exploits were so successful in spite of my advanced warning,
I think.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I shall let you in on my further plans.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I rather enjoy watching your feeble attempts to prevent my activities.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
That's a wrapper you too, you know, Lestrade go on.
I shall arise for.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Times, But this morning I shall rob the Sailors and
Merchants bank. At nine the Merchant's Guild will received by attention.
At eleven fifteen I shall relieve Lily Langley of her sapphires.
I shall then take two hours off for lunch. The
music at the Savoys oh refreshing, you know. At two
Barons Traphagen, same as cameos will be missing. At four
Mortimer Brewster, the American millionaire.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Will find it convenient to pay me a hundred thousand
pounds to cover up a few little irregularities in his
shipping business. Then I shall go home for a bit
of a nap, a late dinner, and then the grand finale.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Well, what's he gone off his sleep for this evening?
The bliter.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I shall spend the evening at Buckingham Palace, where Majesty
is befall. All the best people will be there.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I do hope you can manage to come my dear Holmes,
for at twelve midnight, I shall blow the whole place
to kingdom.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Come until then, au Revoir signed Mariati.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
He's joke, and of course he must be jocous. Blow
up the palace, good Lord, it's unthinkable to night.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Be worse than that thestard It very well be the
twilight of the gods of the British Empire.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
God joking O. I was never more serious in my
entire life. Come in, Inspector Lestraza, it's come and Yard
sent me. They thought you ought to know what Albert
in string your junior here, sir.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
The sailors and merchants banks has been robbed, and the
merchants guild all has been set of fires.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You can't very well blame Watson for those calamities lastran
maybe we should have locked you up too, said but
there's something else. What's that? Albert and mister Pomfret, Sir,
mister Rector Pomfret was found tied up this flat. His
charlotte come to work this morning, Good Lord.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
The city says he's been tied up since he went
on to dress for the concert.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Last Night's body will let the concert. I saw him
with the eel two eyes.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
No Lestrade used for someone who impersonated Hector Pumfret, the
same man who earlier impersonated Dr Watson.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I suspect I was pretty sure it wasn't Pumfort himself.
When he arrived so promptly, he hadn't had time to
change you though, then when I saw his ears.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I was certain he hears? What's that dought to do
with it?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
A good makeup can disguise any feature except ears. The
ear the man who escorted Missus.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
De Cumsi Jones were not the ears I'd noticed on
mister Pumfort earlier in the day.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Who's ears were they? Suppose?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I rather imagine they belonged to Professor Mariotti. I'm convinced
he spent the last few years studying the art of disguise.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
But then we wouldn't know him if we ran into him.
I would Mustard, I should.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Be looking for his ears to night at the ball
at Buckingham Palace. But that you think you could manage
to release Watson in time to accompany me. I hate
to carry my own father. It destroys the fit of
one's evening clothes, don't you know?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
You've seen clothes whose very appearance breathes five quality, graceful tailoring,
perfect fit, rich, long wearing materials. But unless you've worn
clipper Craft clothes, you've never seen that kind of suit
at only forty and forty five dollars, or that kind
of top color overpoort at only forty dollars. The quality
is evident in clipper Craft clothes is made possible by
(21:58):
the sensational clipper Craft Plan. It concentrates the buying power
of nine hundred and twenty four leading independent stores across
the nation, bringing you the sudies that result from this
group buying. Yes, even clothing experts are amazed at these
remarkable Clippercraft values. Clothes that are truly fine in every
way at the price of ordinary clothes. Selling expended clothes
(22:21):
at inexpensive low prices at the mission's faintest independent stores.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Is the great, big idea behind the Clippercraft Plan. That's
why men who.
Speaker 4 (22:29):

the Clippercraft store in your city.

Oh here comes to the straw, looking like a mother
hend whose ducks have taken the water.

Here I can't have Willy in it somewhere speaking that
confounded bomb in operate a bustle.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
My dear distrade, I told you I taken care of that.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Shinol Johnson has provided this for the best pickpockets in
the business.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
They're acting as cultural attendance.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Every guest of this party has been thoroughly unopprexclusively gone
over not a puppy takerchief.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
It's been overlooked. And I read my man frisk the style.
The great danger, of course is a refreshments. Well. I've
ordered supper served in kits at the opposite end of
the grounds, like you suggest. If it's too far for
the guests to walk, so much the better. And I
have to get along and a lunch in champagne and
very nice champion too. I must say yes. The old
widow of window keeps an excellent cellar. Gun lesser and
keep her from harm. Amen. There's your Albert Musca. What's
(24:34):
he carrying in that basket? Hey, Albert, come here? What's
that you've got in the basket? I'm taking in a
chicken and a bottle of wine to the boys. Sir,
there's the beet refreshman served on the boys and uncommon hungry.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
So we, Albert, suppose you give us that basket. Very good, sir,
Homes you're not going to have a picnic lunch. Here
a nice pump chicken, Albert, and rather give it. Wait
a minute, where you're going get another chicken for the boy?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Sir? Oh no, Albert, stay here and share this one
with us. Woms that chicken it's sticky, guess Watson. It
contains a very ingenious time bomb. When is it set
to go off? Professor Monriyarty at twelve o'clock, which.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Is an exactly thirty second.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You you're not over quite. Hang on with lestrade. I'll
take care of the box. You're ten thirty seconds. Who
throw that ticket out of the window? Why didn't he
throw the bomb? What did he have to run with it?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Because you can only throw it about fifty feet The
explosion would be too close.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
It would top panic. On the other hand, it's remarkable
how far.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
You can run if you've been a splinting your youth, like, oh,
will it never be two o'clock.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
It's the longest thirty seconds of my entire life. If
folks sound it is something's wrong. I'm shocking. Can't go stut, madam,
it's just a signal fireworks. Yes, there goes the first room.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Candles.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Oh no, oh, no, Els, where did you get into
that bark?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
I tossed it into the lake. We ate it much
a splash, but the water deadens the explosion. It one
more christed O's Oh in thunder, did you know it
wasn't Albert?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
By his ears? Albert's ears are what you might call outstanding.
By jove, of course, why didn't I think of that?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Well, Doctor Watson, that was certainly a case of never
a dull moment with Carlock Holmes. So that was the
end of Professor Moriyty.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
On the contrary, he managed to give us star to
slip on the way to prison. Secretly, I believe Herbers
was so glad to have this scander back. He was
both relieved and delighted.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
And now, Doctor Watson, I wonder if you'd like to
give us a hint about next week's story.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Next week, I think I'll tell you about a friend
of mine who married a beautiful, young South American lady
he had only known a few weeks. It wasn't long
after he brought her home to England that his household
began to suspect she was a vampire. A vampire, Good Lord,
is such a thing, Doctor Watson.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Listen, those who waited next week to Harrison find out.

With poor podcasting, the system
From New York, the makers of clipper Craft Clothes for
men and Live one hundred and twenty four leading retail
stores from coast to coast present the word's most famous detective,
Sherlock Holmes. Her stories are based upon the character of
(00:35):
Sherlock Holmes, created vi Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes
is portrayed by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley,
and the dramatizations are by Edith Meiser. Well, here we
are again in front of Doctor Watson's cheery fireplace. A
bitter December wind makes us glad to be inside, toasting
(00:55):
out toes and listening to a Sherlock Holmes adventure.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
What's it me tonight? Dr Watson? Will if you see tonight,
I think I'll tell.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
You how Holme's arch enemy, the diabolical Professor Moriarty, came
close to disrupting the Queen's Diamond Judy festivities.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
You mean the celebration that marked the sixtieth year of
the Red Queen Victoria.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Right on that occasion, London was a mecca for adventurers
and thieves, drawn by the many visiting potentates and the
notables all wearing their most fabulous jewels and ligant trackings.
And oh, by the way, speaking of glad rags, as
Hugh Yankees call it, aren't you rather dressing yourself tonight?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Mister Harris? I wondered how long before you had noticed
my new suit? Talck to us, not stand up, Let's
have a look. Yes, not bad at all? Is it
do mean? Is it a Clippercraft suit? You bet it
is done? Now I know why my frenzy.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Clippercraft means what the well dressed man will wear if
he wants to get his money worth. Yes, I wonder
if I spoke to Santa Claus, I've tried something like that.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
That's stalking here.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
All I can say is there's nothing the average mail
would rather find under the Christmas tree than a clipper
Craft suit.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
But the vissit to me is how doly many to
turn out that handsome rig at the price.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Well, Doctor Watson, that mystery doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes
to solve. Here's how clipper Craft makes it easy for
a man to look his best on Christmas morning, and
hundreds of mornings they're actor. It's through the clipper Craft plan,
which concentrates the bank power of nine hundred and twenty
four leading stores across the nation, making tremendous savings and
manufacturing and distribution costs. The plan brings you the finest
(02:32):
clothes at prices far less than you expect to pay
at your own local independence.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Store, at the store you can trust.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Beautifully tailored Clippercraft suits are only forty and forty five dollars.
Top coats and overcoats are only forty dollars. Yes, indeed,
the friends who drop in on Christmas Day will think
your clothes costs twice as much. For clipper Craft values
are so amazing, we urge you to compare them with
clothes selling for many dollars more. And now, doctor Watson,
(03:09):
supposing we get back to her Majesty's Diamond Julie and
the gentleman who had tried to spoil the celebration.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
All London was on faint, mister Harris.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
The festivities were endless garden parties, concerts, parades.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The intacity was no holiday mood offer. But my friend Sherlock.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Holmes, he had drawn the blinds to shut out the
brilliant spring sunshine and lay moping on the sofa, morostly
pulling parfect tassels of his ancient dressing gown. For Hem's sake,
homes back up and stop us strewing bits of silk
(03:47):
all over the carpet. You look as if you were
molting everyone else. He's overjoyed at the celebrations.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Le'll be alone. I'm having my own private celebration.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Uh what are you celebrating in this particularly lugubrious fashion?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Watson, You realize it's just six years since Professor Moriarty
and I pushed each other into the writing back falls.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You never came back, Poor chaff In are going to
tell me you're sorry? You finally rich society of that monster?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
No, I suppose not the think what an occasion of
this sort would have meant to him.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Theaters and ball rooms fairly.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Dripping with jewels, intrigue and cabals on every street corner,
but a veritable Eldorado for a master criminal like Professor Moriarty.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And what's happened? Nothing? Absolutely nothing?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Well, you like your Scotland Yards sacred it They've been
working night and day to protect the holidaymakers.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Scotland Yard.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
How would Scotland Yard have prevail against a master mind
like Mariarty. Yes, the one antagonist I ever found who
is my mental equal?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Ahne, will you forget? If you hadn't finished here, he'd
have finished you. You ought to thank you like his
tars has gone, instead of moping about like a dang dubb.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
See what it is? What's the Men's a good film
in activity? That's rare. That was wrong with you, Holmes?
If you've engaged in any law, all the lock your pa. Yes,
miss Hudson's there's a letter for you, Holmes.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Missus Hudson says it was delivered bare hand, probably some
people whose pet poodle is alope with someone else's spaniel.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'm uninterested.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Purple letter paper, addressed in a large scrawling hand. There's
a strange sort of crisscross the upper left hand corner
of the envelope.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But that's Watson, give me that envelope.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Well all right, you need to snatch it out of
my hand by all, But holy that's not a double crisscross.
It's a letter, m Watson. It's Professor Moriarty's handwriting.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh you're off your head, homes. This Moriarty business has
become an obsession. Hed Fekes you'd better go out and
fresh head and get some exercise.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Or you'll be imagining that you see.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
He let a Watson listen to this to the world's
greatest detective, mister Sherlock Holmes warning at least he doesn't
under rate me a Watson.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Oh, go to blazes you will, don't just be astounded
to learn. I am alive. I managed to survive.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Our little personal encounter in Switzerland, not without sustaining physical damage.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Which kept me in the hospital for over a year.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
The remainder of the time which has intervened since we
last met, has been spent in building myself a new organization.
You destroyed my last one, If you remember, I shall
not soon forgive you for that. You doubtless look on
yourself as society's protector.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You are wrong. I like that, dougg it roup Watson.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
The more I am forteed, the greater is my first
revenge on society.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I have held my hand long enough. From the day forward,
look out for me.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I shall begin this afternoon by staging a daring jewel robbery.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
In the strand.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
To night, a sudden lady at the command performance in
Albert Hall will lose her famous morals tomorrow and the
day after I shall perpetrate some utrage.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
He's ranting like a madman.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And last, but not least, you and your curry doctor
Watson will be put out of the way. I take
pleasure in advising you of the fact that your hepatude
and his friend doctor Watson will be the first to
go signed moriarty, So I am to bid at first
he doesn't fact me the old babbelheaded car.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
If I say her, sir, what.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Is heabitudinous hipitude the smidier Watson means rather blunted mentally?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh it does, does it? What's happening Albert Hall to night? Watson?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I believe it's a constant bad and in a petty
everyone will be there.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You ain't thinking of at tending? I suppose, why not, Watson?
Why not? You might tell missus Hudson to shake the
camper out of our evening clothes. I wonder if I
have a clean stiff shirt. Oh dash it. All these
(07:32):
seems to be the difficulty, Watson.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Oh everything shrank, my collar, my waist cut, even my
evening pumps.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Why has it when.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Anything's laid away in muffball for a few months in inevitable.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It comes out of sice smaller. It couldn't be because
you've grown a size larger.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I suppose. Oh shut up right there, you see.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
You see what happens when I lose my temper. But
I just popped another button. I suggest you to send
to the kitchen an alarm Missus Hudson to.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Repair the damage. Oh now what it sounds like your
confounded clients. Don't worry. I'll get rid of him in
short order.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I better take the backstairs down to the kitchen once,
and you don't want to be caught in a disarray
in case the client is.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
A lady who good lord as the bloom in the
spring Traeler. Come in, mister Holmes, mister Sherlock Holmes. Yes,
I am Hector Pumfret, the Pumfret, Pumfort and Smock.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
We're the best known duel as in London's the Holmes
by appointment to his heirs, the Prince of Wales.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
No left, of.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Course, of course, you have a shop in the strand
and you've just been robbed, mister Holmes. How did you
know it happened less than an hour ago? My dear
mister Pumfret, I have rather special sources of information.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's incredible. I haven't informed anyone, not even the police.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You see, some of the stolen jewels weren't my property.
Lady Biddlesworth pearls, for instance, as she said, would be restrung. Then,
of course the great Burmese Ruby I had that fund consignment.
I practically sold it to that wealthy Missuster Custer Jones
from Denver.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
We will ruin my business if they about to recover.
Pity to stop.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Ratious that such things should be allowed to happen in
a civilized country, and in broad daylight.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
What's happened in broad daylight? A stroke? Where did you
come from? And what sounded you mean? Bursting? You?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Honest like this, mister Pomfret. I understand you've been burgled.
I've come to see about it.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I'm inspected a charade of Scotland yard. Well, I don't
want you to go away. You may not.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Want me, mister Pomfret, but your partner, mister Smart does.
He's the one that sent for me. He tell me
where you'd popped off to. So I came round to
make sure you didn't get any bad advice.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Thank you lestrade for the vote of confidence. And now
I suppose you sit here quietly. Oh, mister Pumfret tells
me just what occurred where mister Holmes. I was in
the shop alone.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
It was getting late and I was about to lock
up when a nice, respectable Youngish man walked in the door.
He wore a Prince Albert, carry a silver headed malacca stick,
a small.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Black satchel, and had just the suggestion of a limp.
Pardon me, or mister Pomfret. I believe why, yes, is
there's something you can do for yourself. I wasn't the
point of locking up.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
But if there's anything you want to know, nothing very
important to play there. I've just broken the crystal of
my water. I'm a doctor who, seeing my watches are
as important bit of equipment.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
In my profession. Of course, I understand. Well, I'll see
if we have a crystal to fit, if you don't
mind waiting a moment. No, no, not at all.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I had amused myself by looking at the handsome baubles
in this showcase here.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
They're more than baubles, I assure you, mister Watson. Dr Watson,
we'll let Ruby in the middle to where the King's
ransom as they say. Yes, if we are this, crystals
fit just as likely pressures.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
So and there we are. Here's your watch, doctor Watson.
The charge of me too, Hill, and keep.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
The watches service purpose. I prefer the ruby and the
other bables. You can beck, or you'll be cut by
flying glass for doctor watching put on that case.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Well stop it, I'd be wrong, Stop me.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Stop, but quick as a flash, he starts. The content
said the showcase ran out the door and was lost.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
In the crowds, showing no signs of a limp I
taking mister Pomford, Why no, suppose the lip?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Certainly wasn't it evident.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
That he ran out of the shop, leaving his watch behind. Yes,
I've brought it with me. I've heard you can deduce
a man's entire history from his watch. Well here it
is interesting, very interesting. The thing that interested me about
mister Pompford's story was that these name Watson, doctor Watson,
my dearest chard.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You don't suppose any jewel thief is going to be
foolish enough to give his right name. I'm not so sure.
What did he look like, mister Pomford. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Not bad looking bit above medium hype, the mustache slightly
grea at the temple.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, I think I think that the whole. If I
don't take a deep breath, I'm sorry what As a
matter of fact, the thief looked very much like Oh no,
why joke? He was this gentleman who just came in.
What thief you're talking about now?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Oh we're leaving the Strada house a Scotlandyard's prize watch dogger?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Oh there's my watch? Where health did you find?
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Where have you left a Dodtor Watson in my shop?
When you matched my showcase and made off with the
Burmese ruby. Not to mention Lady Middleswoo's pearls hers? What's
the man raving about? As if you didn't know?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
So you turned bebe Dr Watson. This association with shirrac
Elves is responsible, no doubt. I've always suspected you to
work both sides of the speachy.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Once it's all about him, has everyone gone mad? I
think I can explain the confusion. Watson.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You'll not talk your way out of it this time,
mister shurak Elmes. We've got the goods on your friend,
Doctor Watson. Mister pomfret Is made a positive identification. Hell,
I'd been looking forward to using these nd cuts on
new chaps.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
For Heaven's sake.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Let Strat sit down and try not to be a
bigger fool intended.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It's also perfectly simple here. Read this letter I.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Received this morning and see if you can comprehend what
danger we're really in it you take more than a letter,
Shut up and read it now, then, Watson, when did
you first miss your watch?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
While? Let miss it?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
But it was this morning when I wanted to take
missus Hilton's pulse. I was positivised to get into my
pocket when I ad dressed this morning. But I suppose
I left you behind on a bureau I sometimes.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
No, Watson, you took it with you. Remember you told
me the times you were about to leave? Yes, right,
so I did. Then how did you get here?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
The watch was lifted from your pocket by one of
the light fingers gently and Mariotti's employ Later this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It was used by another gentleman who.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Impersonated you and robbed the jewelry shop of mister Pumfret, here,
leaving the watch behind to incriminate you.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Or the black of the filthy black arden in the
entire afternoon.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
You why you can give me an.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Alibi homes naturally easy to If you won't believe me
less start, perhaps you'll take missus Hudson's word. She spent
the afternoon letting out Dr Watson's dress shirt and fitting
it to his person.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
This is incredible, fantastic. The feat was exactly like your friend,
mister Holmes.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Always thank you, thank you about Professor Moriarity and his outfit.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I've never even seen the man.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
How do I know there is such a person, But
just have to take my word for it the starred.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Incidentally, we shall miss the best.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Part of the concert at Albert Horror. Lets be hurry,
oh good lord, and I have to rush home and dress.
I'm sitting at missuster Comston Jones's box.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You know who cares?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I shall have to go to keep an eye on
those blasted tierras. I suppose, ha, I mused.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I know, but you wouldn't want to miss the Professor's
next robbery.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Come along Withstauran, Yes, Watson, I think we shall station
ourselves here at the foot of the camspaircase.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Whose amerules you think, Marie art is after I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It could be the Maharani of Saiba, or the Bolivian
millionaires senor.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
A boldaro ah.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
There comes Lestan. It looks agitated. What's up restaurant? Anyone
purloined the Punjulase women.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Already better in this but has lost an expensive brooch
and to have met him to run Severe's.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Diamond bracelets are missing.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Sounds if Mariart's millions were warming up to the man
and then rubbish.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
It's these fool females never make sure the catches are probably.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Though, thank Joe Robes.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Look look at that enormous redheaded woman coming in the
carriage entrance.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
She looks like an animated Christmas tree us enough to
blind you.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
That's Missus de Cumpson Jones, the American. She has board
duels and most of the crown needs in Europe.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yes, and most particularly she has an emerald necklace.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
That makes the maharayes on the signoras look like something
at the vicar's tea party.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I see, look who's beside her, the little pipsty is.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It's a direct to comfort, so he didn't keep her waiting.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
After all, it must be a quick change out his day, Watson,
he needed to be giving him what for.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Here they came the stark. I suggest you'll received them.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
To her box while doctor Watson and I bring up
the rear. Those emiral will certainly deserve a god of honor.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
He is an. I'm pretty mad at you, pop friend,
my dear missus joke. You know dog gone well, I
wanted that roomy.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
But I assure you, Missus Joseph was stolen, stolen and
bought daylight.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Don't make me laugh. Some other coming off to your
better price. But you're not kidding me, Dear missus Jones.
I'll assure you that jewel was stolen. Evening. Start a
good evening if this is instead of the stars cuffing job, mister.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Jones, here's gunly why pra lookay, mister pompfret, I wonder
if you could persuade missus Jones to make sure all
her duer catches out and work in order.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Young man, I'm quite capable of taking care of him
own affairs.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Come on, Pumfret, Yes, Missus Jones.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Hey, get off on the plane.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Watson. I wasn't getting way near the city. Team well,
someone tried to trip me up. Gollyn. The necklace, mammal
necklace is gone. Somebody stolen. I've been wrong. I've been wrong.
I everyone, yeah, no steal everybody. Don't do hands. I
felt someone's hand on the back of my neck.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Then the necklace was gone.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Where did it go? Very far? I assure you no
one has moved. Whoever took it's within arms reached. Oh.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I was on one side of here, and mister Pomfret
on the other, and Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson were
directly in bested in back.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
That's wear our fella's hand on the back of my neck.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
It's not Doctor Watson ropped my shop. But I didn't
talk me out of it. You regained, you back off,
didn't killed me you I did. I didn't touch the emeralds.
Silly things, probably a lightly story.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, always search me. If you don't believe it, well
will That's why search him? What's that bulge in his
left hand pocket? The emeralds and more?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Besides, would this be your room be mister Pomfrets and
lady what's the name's pearls?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yes? This is the odd brooch and the missing diamond
prices as well. Quite a hole what's a congratulations, does it?
Doctor Watson? You're under arrath so that this is preposterous.
It are grace homes don't just tender like an say
do something? What is that to do? My dear Watson,
better go quietly? Yes, as things tand I think jail
(17:46):
may be the safest place for you. Home.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Oh, come in, ah, Inspector Lestrade. Happened about early on
you after last night's festivities.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
A patty was an excellent voice. Didn't you think I
didn't listen?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
I was busy see and no more duels were stolen,
even with doctor Watson safely under lock and key. As
a matter of fact, home, several other pieces did turn up, Missen,
the Duchess of Wentworth tiera lady mowner's diamond Stomacher. Oh
look here those you don't think it's possible? Those duos
were planted? And after Watson.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Lestrade, you astonish me every now and then you show
signs of intelligence. By the way, I had a further
communication from Professor Moriante this morning, like I don't suppose
I could stop you quite, My dear mister Shomock Holmes,
yesterday's exploits were so successful in spite of my advanced warning,
I think.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I shall let you in on my further plans.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I rather enjoy watching your feeble attempts to prevent my activities.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
That's a wrapper you too, you know, Lestrade go on.
I shall arise for.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Times, But this morning I shall rob the Sailors and
Merchants bank. At nine the Merchant's Guild will received by attention.
At eleven fifteen I shall relieve Lily Langley of her sapphires.
I shall then take two hours off for lunch. The
music at the Savoys oh refreshing, you know. At two
Barons Traphagen, same as cameos will be missing. At four
Mortimer Brewster, the American millionaire.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Will find it convenient to pay me a hundred thousand
pounds to cover up a few little irregularities in his
shipping business. Then I shall go home for a bit
of a nap, a late dinner, and then the grand finale.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Well, what's he gone off his sleep for this evening?
The bliter.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I shall spend the evening at Buckingham Palace, where Majesty
is befall. All the best people will be there.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I do hope you can manage to come my dear Holmes,
for at twelve midnight, I shall blow the whole place
to kingdom.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Come until then, au Revoir signed Mariati.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
He's joke, and of course he must be jocous. Blow
up the palace, good Lord, it's unthinkable to night.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Be worse than that thestard It very well be the
twilight of the gods of the British Empire.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
God joking O. I was never more serious in my
entire life. Come in, Inspector Lestraza, it's come and Yard
sent me. They thought you ought to know what Albert
in string your junior here, sir.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
The sailors and merchants banks has been robbed, and the
merchants guild all has been set of fires.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You can't very well blame Watson for those calamities lastran
maybe we should have locked you up too, said but
there's something else. What's that? Albert and mister Pomfret, Sir,
mister Rector Pomfret was found tied up this flat. His
charlotte come to work this morning, Good Lord.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
The city says he's been tied up since he went
on to dress for the concert.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Last Night's body will let the concert. I saw him
with the eel two eyes.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
No Lestrade used for someone who impersonated Hector Pumfret, the
same man who earlier impersonated Dr Watson.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I suspect I was pretty sure it wasn't Pumfort himself.
When he arrived so promptly, he hadn't had time to
change you though, then when I saw his ears.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I was certain he hears? What's that dought to do
with it?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
A good makeup can disguise any feature except ears. The
ear the man who escorted Missus.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
De Cumsi Jones were not the ears I'd noticed on
mister Pumfort earlier in the day.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Who's ears were they? Suppose?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I rather imagine they belonged to Professor Mariotti. I'm convinced
he spent the last few years studying the art of disguise.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
But then we wouldn't know him if we ran into him.
I would Mustard, I should.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Be looking for his ears to night at the ball
at Buckingham Palace. But that you think you could manage
to release Watson in time to accompany me. I hate
to carry my own father. It destroys the fit of
one's evening clothes, don't you know?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
You've seen clothes whose very appearance breathes five quality, graceful tailoring,
perfect fit, rich, long wearing materials. But unless you've worn
clipper Craft clothes, you've never seen that kind of suit
at only forty and forty five dollars, or that kind
of top color overpoort at only forty dollars. The quality
is evident in clipper Craft clothes is made possible by
(21:58):
the sensational clipper Craft Plan. It concentrates the buying power
of nine hundred and twenty four leading independent stores across
the nation, bringing you the sudies that result from this
group buying. Yes, even clothing experts are amazed at these
remarkable Clippercraft values. Clothes that are truly fine in every
way at the price of ordinary clothes. Selling expended clothes
(22:21):
at inexpensive low prices at the mission's faintest independent stores.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Is the great, big idea behind the Clippercraft Plan. That's
why men who.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Know insist on Clippercraft clothes, So be sure to visit
the Clippercraft store in your city.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
These leading stores in the Metropotan area are proud to
add their names to Clippercraft and your suit, top code
and overcoat. In Manhattan, John Wanameeca Men's Stores Broadway at

a contrast to Bow Street jail.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
There's a Sha'll forgive you in for that hose.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Oh here comes to the straw, looking like a mother
hend whose ducks have taken the water.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Here I can't have Willy in it somewhere speaking that
confounded bomb in operate a bustle.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
My dear distrade, I told you I taken care of that.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Shinol Johnson has provided this for the best pickpockets in
the business.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
They're acting as cultural attendance.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Every guest of this party has been thoroughly unopprexclusively gone
over not a puppy takerchief.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
It's been overlooked. And I read my man frisk the style.
The great danger, of course is a refreshments. Well. I've
ordered supper served in kits at the opposite end of
the grounds, like you suggest. If it's too far for
the guests to walk, so much the better. And I
have to get along and a lunch in champagne and
very nice champion too. I must say yes. The old
widow of window keeps an excellent cellar. Gun lesser and
keep her from harm. Amen. There's your Albert Musca. What's
(24:34):
he carrying in that basket? Hey, Albert, come here? What's
that you've got in the basket? I'm taking in a
chicken and a bottle of wine to the boys. Sir,
there's the beet refreshman served on the boys and uncommon hungry.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
So we, Albert, suppose you give us that basket. Very good, sir,
Homes you're not going to have a picnic lunch. Here
a nice pump chicken, Albert, and rather give it. Wait
a minute, where you're going get another chicken for the boy?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Sir? Oh no, Albert, stay here and share this one
with us. Woms that chicken it's sticky, guess Watson. It
contains a very ingenious time bomb. When is it set
to go off? Professor Monriyarty at twelve o'clock, which.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Is an exactly thirty second.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You you're not over quite. Hang on with lestrade. I'll
take care of the box. You're ten thirty seconds. Who
throw that ticket out of the window? Why didn't he
throw the bomb? What did he have to run with it?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Because you can only throw it about fifty feet The
explosion would be too close.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
It would top panic. On the other hand, it's remarkable
how far.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
You can run if you've been a splinting your youth, like, oh,
will it never be two o'clock.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
It's the longest thirty seconds of my entire life. If
folks sound it is something's wrong. I'm shocking. Can't go stut, madam,
it's just a signal fireworks. Yes, there goes the first room.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Candles.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Oh no, oh, no, Els, where did you get into
that bark?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
I tossed it into the lake. We ate it much
a splash, but the water deadens the explosion. It one
more christed O's Oh in thunder, did you know it
wasn't Albert?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
By his ears? Albert's ears are what you might call outstanding.
By jove, of course, why didn't I think of that?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Well, Doctor Watson, that was certainly a case of never
a dull moment with Carlock Holmes. So that was the
end of Professor Moriyty.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
On the contrary, he managed to give us star to
slip on the way to prison. Secretly, I believe Herbers
was so glad to have this scander back. He was
both relieved and delighted.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
And now, Doctor Watson, I wonder if you'd like to
give us a hint about next week's story.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Next week, I think I'll tell you about a friend
of mine who married a beautiful, young South American lady
he had only known a few weeks. It wasn't long
after he brought her home to England that his household
began to suspect she was a vampire. A vampire, Good Lord,
is such a thing, Doctor Watson.
