Speaker 1 (04:37):
Like you.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
My problem machine quite trivial.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I I'm being blacknailed by a man in responsible.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
He has shund off put your Hungarian painter who listens
to the upstairs. Yes, I think I've heard of him
since two months now.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Ever since you know my secret, he's come to me
for money, and today he told me he must have
two hundreds.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And fifty goods or he will go to the police.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I have not that much money, hair Homs.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Please to tell me what I shall do.

My brother Carl he got.

Into some trouble. He and the police for looking for him.
He ran away to mention, as you say, Munich him
thunder our party. Nip of this.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
He was a friend of mine, so I thought.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
When the trouble come on my brother, I turned to
Shandor for help.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's not a car out of the country. And he
turned on me for blackmails.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
A bad man.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I issue was dead first, blackmail as a courage at hand,
I think after whats and I will call on the gentleman.
By the way, doesn't have any written evidence of your
brother's crime? Yeah, he has his address in Munich. I
show Shandor a letter from him when he first go there,
and keep the letter. Do not give it back to him.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
And if he gave the police your brother's addrested in
the rest of her.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
They would of course.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Hair Homes, will you please to tell me what I
should do? I cannot go on to say my music.
Calm yourself. I should be most happy to help you.
And if you will leave the way, we'll see how
persuasive we can be with Chandle our party. It's the studio,
(06:22):
hair Homes. You better let me do most of the talking.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
You must be d that is possible, love.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I think, bearing in mind that found this profession will
take the liberty of opinions. All look a very complicated
lot to me. I think this skeleton key will do
the trick. Very dangerous hair homes.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
No, no, no, no, don't worry about that product. We're
perfectly people and taking over.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So ah here we are clo the door behind you.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
When it.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Don't see the thing, I'll strike a match.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Look at him.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Some talk like to guess, Willie Watson, that your hope
h Judging from his appearance for a line fullunchtin, I
think Sandor Pardi had other enemies besides yourself less scrupulous enemies.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
He's been strangled. Look at the finger marks on his boat?
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Is he.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yes? But it is still warm? Though I'm afraid he's dead.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm back, but a bad man your to that, Watson.
You notice the fingers of the killer, broken the skin
and drawn blood. Should he not communicate with the police
before we do that? For line we see if you
can find you about this letter, move the body, Willi
Watson lying across an open dispatch box that might contain
the document in question, Come on, ah well, A painter
(08:13):
of the lateness to our party was an unusual methodical man.
Everything files. You're an alphabetical order. Yeah, we are flour line.
They are all unchtime. And the letter has the Munich postmark.
I think this was for the document question and he
was doing it. Please for line. Yeah, now visit a
letter here, Holmes, how can I die? It's very little
(08:35):
thankful for it's the that nail of a still a line.
I feel it wouldn't it means a simple a matter.
I wonder what other treasures this box contains? Hello, Hello,
what is it interesting? It's still interesting? Look at this
a color.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Information on the case that we've just been working on.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
The names attached to the document. I think we may
assume that the dead man did not confine his backmailing
to struggling young pianists. He was after big game tools.
We'd better be careful, homes.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I don't think that we should go for the police
just yet.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No, we will stop by having a little top of
the other persons of this ponson. For I who lives
in the room adjoining this one, I too, and the
room across the landing L Kung Fo, the guy Chinese actor.
He's upon me. I see that I think to stop
by calling on him. Return to your room for igne
and we will let you know later. What we've found
in the meantime is saying nothing to anyone of what
(09:30):
has happened.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Do everything you tell me, homes these once again, please
let metect you for what you've done.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
For you know, Holmes, I'm not sure that girl didn't
strangle a far der sup pianists have unusual strength of
her fingers, and we know that she had the motive.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Look how naturally calm she was when she realized the
man's death.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And discreete what you were, fellow humh and I think
what you refer to is our natural calmness is the
cold attachment of the too well.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I have a feeling we should keep an.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Eye on her, just to say we were watching.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
We will.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And now I have just play a visit across the

reading over the antics of Confusa.

Sounds of struggle or a cry from the direction of
sandorf Party's room, Prince, I do not think so.

in there, and the sound of a cry, But not
long ago? Was this ago?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Perhaps?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
More? Is anything wrong? Has the trouble come to Chandle Sandor?
I thought you said you were only a nodding. Acquaintance
with the gentleman is a well known act. It is
only natural I should call him by his first name,
mister Holmes, even though I do not know him. Has
something happened to him? I'm afraid so, But I can't
tell you any more about it at the moment. Thank

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Now, I think before we visit her, and we'll examine
the dead man from a little more closely. That black
in the statch box may hold the keys of this mystery.

Hell, it's matter what in the farms on the prince
a small foot medious to this ploty, But it must

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Take a look at these watson.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Hair, long black hair?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Where were they on a hook in the cupboard? Someone
facing themselves back so to be out of sight could
easily leave such evidence.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I've got home down.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh, my dear fellow, I'm afraid payers can dream. No
good now he's been strangled, strangled with his own cue.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Dr Watson's story will continue in just a second, so
I'm gonna take that second for a fast question. I
know you've probably tasted port wine, but have you ever
tasted petree California port?
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Have you?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Because if you haven't tried pet report, well you can
just tell yourself right now. You don't know how good
a port can be. Pet Report is rich, red and herded.
But what you want to know is how does it taste.
The answer to that is short and sweet. The taste
is terrific and say, Petrie California. Muscatel is on the
terrific side, too. Free Muscatel has the flavor and fragrance
(18:02):
of real juicy muscat.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Grape m Both wines are perfect after dinner or any
time you're sitting around talking with your friends.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Try them. They're great. They've gotta be because they're petray.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And now back to the night's new Sherlock Holmes adventures.
The famous pair are staying in Vienna, where they've become
involved in the mysterious strangling of a notorious blackmailer.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
As we rejoin our story, Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson,
I've cost questioning another of the suspects, a Swedish sculptress
by the name of Madame John. What do you want
with me? So have you come in here?
Speaker 4 (18:44):
We just wanted to ask you few questions, Madam.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
With myr figurines? May I ask if you always working?
To say?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
But what's thet to you?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Do you wish to buy some of my sculptor?
Speaker 7 (18:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
But I assure you the question was prison.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Tell me who you are and stop eating my tue.
My friend is a private protective, Madam, a detective who sank.
Speaker 2 (19:04):

but the hair with chuck black.
Speaker 2 (19:45):

size of a fat anyway. She works to play but
been marvel. I might have suspected her.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
So home, though, Will you tell me what you're driving out?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
The answer to this killing? How about them? But I'd
have to prove it, I said, I must work the

Speaker 4 (20:14):
You can't ask me to be alone with that.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I say, Watsonman, don't question me. There isn't a moment
to be lost.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Off.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Of course you're not Daria, my dear doctor.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
No let alone alone?
Speaker 7 (20:51):
Not how great is your set?
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I heard him, of.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Course, but I can't identify its work.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
That's what put the rigger let.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
So you're still in not.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Telling your favorite composed? And will you think of something
is just for you? I will pun the guy's light down.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And that will be so much more a monthing.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Oh, is your favorite is composed?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
I haven't.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
What's the.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Harvy?
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Like a master German composers, not to the elastic and
a masterream.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
She goes again, Come in, Somene of the sei Is,
Come into the live.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Chinese act.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I am sorry to make commoson, but as we say
in my country, those who sun pun trade seek the
double knowledge.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
You devil, you devil, thank kill you, thank kill you.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
One I confession, Senor Violette, you can testify it to
it want from homes. Oh, you're not telling amoun nails
shop of my lucky.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
She's painted home.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
For anndramatic exit for a most dramatic lady.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Well homes.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Now that you've turned Senora Violette over to the police,
that you tell me what made me.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Was obvious from the beginning of the Tiber hangled by
someone with long fingernails. Night from four was killed at
ruled the Mountains? Then who was the woman with a
motive and long nails? And I mentioned my dead fellow
was the woman for len Ollenstein know being a concert pianist.
Her nails were next be shot the scoltists who worked
in play. Again, No, that would make it impossible for
(23:13):
her to mold her delicate figurines. Therefore, Signora Fioletti, by
the process of elimination, was the only woman with long nails.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
While did she straangled with Chinese actor too.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And doubted that he witnessed the first killing. The long
black hairs in the closet were from his cue, and
I presumed that later he threatened Yoletti and so he
himself was strangled.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
I still don't understand why she straangled off.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Partly in the first I think you'll find that in
backtailing her tool. Remember he had documents incriminating everyone in
the house accept her, and I think we may assume
she killed him and then removed her own papers from
the the statch box. But i'd no proof, and so well,
I had to frighten her into confessions.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
So that's why you disguise yourself as like Kung Fu.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yes, I borrowed the robes from his room, like it
with the lights below as I ended. Yes, And it's
also fortunate that the average European all Chinese look alike
and proline Unstein. You're coming in to see you in
a few minutes, so anxiously is everything all high?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Well?
Speaker 4 (24:16):
From your point of view, my.

And of pressure.

And what were you and Sherlock Holmes doing there? Doctor?
Just taking a trip, mister Foreman.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
In those early days of our association. We didn't have
the time, all the money for just taking trips.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
We were in Vienna because Holmes had been engaged in
certain highly important investigations. We were staying in a charmings
of Porcion inhabited by students and musicians, and on the
ninth story began.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
We'd finished dinner and had returned to our room.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I was busy making some notes on the investigation we'd
just concluded, and Holmes was scraping away at his beloved Barlin.

So I realized you're a great detective.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Like you.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
My problem machine quite trivial.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I I'm being blacknailed by a man in responsible.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
He has shund off put your Hungarian painter who listens
to the upstairs. Yes, I think I've heard of him
since two months now.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Ever since you know my secret, he's come to me
for money, and today he told me he must have
two hundreds.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And fifty goods or he will go to the police.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I have not that much money, hair Homs.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Please to tell me what I shall do.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Just what hold does he have over you?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
My brother Carl he got.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Into some trouble. He and the police for looking for him.
He ran away to mention, as you say, Munich him
thunder our party. Nip of this.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
He was a friend of mine, so I thought.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
When the trouble come on my brother, I turned to
Shandor for help.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's not a car out of the country. And he
turned on me for blackmails.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
A bad man.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I issue was dead first, blackmail as a courage at hand,
I think after whats and I will call on the gentleman.
By the way, doesn't have any written evidence of your
brother's crime? Yeah, he has his address in Munich. I
show Shandor a letter from him when he first go there,
and keep the letter. Do not give it back to him.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
And if he gave the police your brother's addrested in
the rest of her.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
They would of course.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Hair Homes, will you please to tell me what I
should do? I cannot go on to say my music.
Calm yourself. I should be most happy to help you.
And if you will leave the way, we'll see how
persuasive we can be with Chandle our party. It's the studio,
(06:22):
hair Homes. You better let me do most of the talking.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
You must be d that is possible, love.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I think, bearing in mind that found this profession will
take the liberty of opinions. All look a very complicated
lot to me. I think this skeleton key will do
the trick. Very dangerous hair homes.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
No, no, no, no, don't worry about that product. We're
perfectly people and taking over.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So ah here we are clo the door behind you.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
When it.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Don't see the thing, I'll strike a match.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Look at him.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Some talk like to guess, Willie Watson, that your hope
h Judging from his appearance for a line fullunchtin, I
think Sandor Pardi had other enemies besides yourself less scrupulous enemies.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
He's been strangled. Look at the finger marks on his boat?
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Is he.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yes? But it is still warm? Though I'm afraid he's dead.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm back, but a bad man your to that, Watson.
You notice the fingers of the killer, broken the skin
and drawn blood. Should he not communicate with the police
before we do that? For line we see if you
can find you about this letter, move the body, Willi
Watson lying across an open dispatch box that might contain
the document in question, Come on, ah well, A painter
(08:13):
of the lateness to our party was an unusual methodical man.
Everything files. You're an alphabetical order. Yeah, we are flour line.
They are all unchtime. And the letter has the Munich postmark.
I think this was for the document question and he
was doing it. Please for line. Yeah, now visit a
letter here, Holmes, how can I die? It's very little
(08:35):
thankful for it's the that nail of a still a line.
I feel it wouldn't it means a simple a matter.
I wonder what other treasures this box contains? Hello, Hello,
what is it interesting? It's still interesting? Look at this
a color.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Information on the case that we've just been working on.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
The names attached to the document. I think we may
assume that the dead man did not confine his backmailing
to struggling young pianists. He was after big game tools.
We'd better be careful, homes.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I don't think that we should go for the police
just yet.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No, we will stop by having a little top of
the other persons of this ponson. For I who lives
in the room adjoining this one, I too, and the
room across the landing L Kung Fo, the guy Chinese actor.
He's upon me. I see that I think to stop
by calling on him. Return to your room for igne
and we will let you know later. What we've found
in the meantime is saying nothing to anyone of what
(09:30):
has happened.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Do everything you tell me, homes these once again, please
let metect you for what you've done.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
For you know, Holmes, I'm not sure that girl didn't
strangle a far der sup pianists have unusual strength of
her fingers, and we know that she had the motive.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Look how naturally calm she was when she realized the
man's death.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And discreete what you were, fellow humh and I think
what you refer to is our natural calmness is the
cold attachment of the too well.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I have a feeling we should keep an.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Eye on her, just to say we were watching.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
We will.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And now I have just play a visit across the
landing to the distinguish Chinese actor, mister ling to fold. Yeah,

Sounds of struggle or a cry from the direction of
sandorf Party's room, Prince, I do not think so.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Wait, yes, yes, I think I did hear late voices
in there, and the sound of a cry, But not
long ago? Was this ago?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Perhaps?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
More? Is anything wrong? Has the trouble come to Chandle Sandor?
I thought you said you were only a nodding. Acquaintance
with the gentleman is a well known act. It is
only natural I should call him by his first name,
mister Holmes, even though I do not know him. Has
something happened to him? I'm afraid so, But I can't
tell you any more about it at the moment. Thank

Now, I think before we visit her, and we'll examine
the dead man from a little more closely. That black

Hell, it's matter what in the farms on the prince
a small foot medious to this ploty, But it must

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Take a look at these watson.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Hair, long black hair?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Where were they on a hook in the cupboard? Someone
facing themselves back so to be out of sight could
easily leave such evidence.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I've got home down.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Got it, the long back hair, the long nails that

Speaker 5 (16:25):

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh, my dear fellow, I'm afraid payers can dream. No
good now he's been strangled, strangled with his own cue.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Dr Watson's story will continue in just a second, so
I'm gonna take that second for a fast question. I
know you've probably tasted port wine, but have you ever
tasted petree California port?
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Have you?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Because if you haven't tried pet report, well you can
just tell yourself right now. You don't know how good
a port can be. Pet Report is rich, red and herded.
But what you want to know is how does it taste.
The answer to that is short and sweet. The taste
is terrific and say, Petrie California. Muscatel is on the
terrific side, too. Free Muscatel has the flavor and fragrance
(18:02):
of real juicy muscat.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Grape m Both wines are perfect after dinner or any
time you're sitting around talking with your friends.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Try them. They're great. They've gotta be because they're petray.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And now back to the night's new Sherlock Holmes adventures.
The famous pair are staying in Vienna, where they've become
involved in the mysterious strangling of a notorious blackmailer.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
As we rejoin our story, Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson,
I've cost questioning another of the suspects, a Swedish sculptress
by the name of Madame John. What do you want
with me? So have you come in here?
Speaker 4 (18:44):

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Do you wish to buy some of my sculptor?
Speaker 7 (18:55):

Speaker 2 (18:55):
But I assure you the question was prison.
Speaker 3 (18:57):

size of a fat anyway. She works to play but
been marvel. I might have suspected her.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
So home, though, Will you tell me what you're driving out?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
The answer to this killing? How about them? But I'd

Speaker 4 (20:14):
You can't ask me to be alone with that.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I say, Watsonman, don't question me. There isn't a moment
to be lost.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Off.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Of course you're not Daria, my dear doctor.
Speaker 4 (20:47):

Speaker 5 (20:59):
That's what put the rigger let.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
So you're still in not.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Telling your favorite composed? And will you think of something
is just for you? I will pun the guy's light down.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And that will be so much more a monthing.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Oh, is your favorite is composed?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
I haven't.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
What's the.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Harvy?
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Like a master German composers, not to the elastic and
a masterream.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
She goes again, Come in, Somene of the sei Is,
Come into the live.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Chinese act.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I am sorry to make commoson, but as we say
in my country, those who sun pun trade seek the
double knowledge.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
You devil, you devil, thank kill you, thank kill you.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
One I confession, Senor Violette, you can testify it to
it want from homes. Oh, you're not telling amoun nails
shop of my lucky.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
She's painted home.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
For anndramatic exit for a most dramatic lady.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Well homes.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Now that you've turned Senora Violette over to the police,
that you tell me what made me.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Was obvious from the beginning of the Tiber hangled by
someone with long fingernails. Night from four was killed at
ruled the Mountains? Then who was the woman with a
motive and long nails? And I mentioned my dead fellow
was the woman for len Ollenstein know being a concert pianist.
Her nails were next be shot the scoltists who worked
in play. Again, No, that would make it impossible for
(23:13):
her to mold her delicate figurines. Therefore, Signora Fioletti, by
the process of elimination, was the only woman with long nails.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
While did she straangled with Chinese actor too.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And doubted that he witnessed the first killing. The long
black hairs in the closet were from his cue, and
I presumed that later he threatened Yoletti and so he
