This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
transmitted to our men and women overseas by Cohort Wave
and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces
Radio Service.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Pet Free Wine brings you.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Battle Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of
Sherlock Holmes. The Petree family, the family that took time
to bring you good wine, invite you to listen to
doctor Watson tell us about another exciting adventure he shared
with his old friends that master Detective Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It began on a on a summer evening in nineteen
hundred and six. I'd been prolonged walk in the park.
I remember when I returned to Baker Street and entered
our rooms. Holmes looked up at me with a twinkle
and spo.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Ecluing with hope, Watson, I have a spidd.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Walk Manifola, he should come with me.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
The park was looking particularly beautiful about Chef Jurico absence.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
I've decided to write another monograph.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Oh, what's the subject?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Discern occupational liability to murder. For instance, the immortality rate
is naturally high among policemen and detective positions are murdered
with fair regularity, but the murder of a dentist is rare.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
And whoever heard of a murdered veterinary recision?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's quite true.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
But what's the occasion for this little homily?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
I've been browsing over my newspaper clippings.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, you would recall it.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
A hearing of a murdered tobtaconist.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Wants so that I do.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yet my tippings informed that no less than three tobacconists
have been murdered in the past six months, and all
the murders have occurred in the same small shop at
the eastern to London. Now, why whose first three tobacconists
would be murdered in the same shop?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Come, now, give me a logical solution to the problem.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
We know, well, well, let me see. You say that
the shop's in the eastern Yes, is near the river.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
As it happens, it's on the water's edge.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
And supposing the.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Tobacconist shop was the headquarters of a smuggling ring, perhaps
boxes of cars unloaded from the top and brought to
the shops, and cars containing pearls or opumous Having.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Watch some idear fool, you're doing splendidly. I'm just walk
in the path more frequently. You're positive it's stint lady.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Oh no, you're you're making fellow. I'll show you not
sorry expecting anyone.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh no, probably a visitor, missus Hudson, come on with
a fascinating period. Now, why are free to Bacconist's murders?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Well because they they know too much, that says Amanda's
share and the profets. So the head of the ring
decides to kill them.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Cars for them.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I want some my nymous congratulation.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
I can see that I'm very lucky in having a biographer.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But such a lively imagination.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Oh oh, glad to see you.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I hope I'm not including not at all, my dear fellow,
Alarm said down anything remarkable on hand?
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Oh no, miss Home being very particular.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Ah, then tell me all about it. The stude can't
anything from me?
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Can I say? Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
There is something on my mind and no mistake, and
it concerns the free murder to paknists. I see splendid
now either, blazy, did you know that your magic?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I'll tormal it wasn't. It's simple deduction.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Observe the finding regards peering out of the Strand's wrist bucket.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
They are of a fast.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Superior quality to his rusful brand. Obviously the scene of
his latest investigation as profits certain worlds, will we say
the professional purposites my rightless son.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Of course you are cavery one, mister, thank you us
my pipe. Well, how about you, doctor.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Oh thank you?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Turn about you, coronas and now inspect Cone tell me
about the.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Murder to pacness? How much do you know about the case.
That's what I've read in the papers, And.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Curiously enough, we were discussing the affair as you walked
in the shirt.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's a strange business, gentlemen. I need for hold of the.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Old story today.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
When i'd long talked to young Jack Longword, he's the
owner of the show.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
In relation to what.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
General Longworth it taller member of Parliament who battled so
successfully against the slum clearance his son, mister Roones, what's
my young fellow too? When his father died he inherited
this shop, along with a lot of other property in
the East Dead well, how big a shot gorge sold
in the wall, doctor, like all the other shops in
their part of London. Young mister Lungworth tells me, first
(04:17):
rents it to a man by the name of George Grinnet.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
He lives there with his daughter Lily, and made it
quite a nice go out of the shop. Six months ago,
when Deck.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Lungworth was abroad, George Grinnet.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Has a stroke and nearly kicks the kit. He nearly dies.
What happened the well?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
While he's in the hospital, his daughter gives up the
lease on the shop. A few days later an Italian
takes it over, and a couple of weeks later he's
found with his float cat.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Did you investigate that first made of self?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
No, mister Roones, seemed like any of a dozen kiddings
we get in their part of London. A shop keeper
cut up his tail empty no clue. Who was the
next tenant, a scotchman Lookee by the name of Macintosh.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
A few weeks after he moved in the same thing
happened to him that time. I did go down there,
but I couldn't find.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Out nothing was robbery again the parent motive, yes, sir,
that the kin won the same even was strangled with
a silk scarf.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Silk scarf. Eh And who was the third tenant?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
The man whose murdered yesterday, the Hindoo fellow, a man
by the name of Muka Jib.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
He takes it over a week last Friday, and yesterday we.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Finds him nice with the back and his money.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
God.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Of course I was down there before you could say
Crystal Palace.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
But once again I didn't find out nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
No knife, no finger prints of til no footprints, just
a very dead ind was youngest along with the landlord
in England when the murders occurred. That's the funny thing
about it, Miss Rose. He doctor Tilbury yesterday morning. He
didn't know nothing about what had been going on.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I imagine he'd have difficulty in renting the shop after
three murders.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
That's just it, doctor, That's why he comes to me
at the yard. George Gridneth is first tenant of the shop,
moved back there to day with his daughter Liddy. Young
mister Long was worried about them.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
If you ask me, he's more worried about that daughter
than he's a bad old man. Grillith.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So the original sentence of the shop back in residence
again day and what do you want me to do?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Well?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I perhaps you would be interested enough to come along
with me.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
And look at the shop, mister. I very glad to
my dear fellow, it's got at Watson resident master, Well,
Mike Grant, how are you.
Speaker 2 (06:36):

All right?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
All right? Is that your brother home?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (06:53):
To start?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I do think you might have told me the whole truth.
What do you mean, sir?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I thought your visit was prompted by a need for
friendly assistance. I didn't realize that you came here virtually
on a government order.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
World. It wasn't just quite like that.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It's throw the government got to do with the case.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And how does your brother Micraft?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yet?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
One thing? We make certain?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
There's obviously a great deal more in this case than
Astrad would have us believe.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Why do you say that to him?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It was, dear in mind alf a little bit occasionally,
Micraft is the British Government nice part of London to
take a walk in on a foggy night, Ainty Generals.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
All our policemen work down here in pairs, you.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Know, so I don't blame them. It's a vile neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
There's the shop just head of us with a sign
hanging out.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And and no, there is again see that bearded in
new scouting over around the corner of the area.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
He's been haunting the place ever since. Chenda you didnhim
to do a hans place? Eh?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yes, and yesterday home the Hindu propart of the shop
was murdered.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Well, here we are.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I'll go in first, pressed for it's Lily, George Great's
daughters with the shop to keep your wet.
Speaker 9 (08:28):
Oh, it's you, inspectulus charge.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yes, mister, I brought some gentlemen to see your father.
This is mister Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson.
Speaker 5 (08:36):

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Aren't sure you do, young Lily?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Is your dad O, No.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
Inspector, he won't be until after dinner.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
We're down at the docksy.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Did you see about some cigar shipments? Mister long after
you if you want to see you? We were just
adding some tea in the back room.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yes, I like these gentlemen to meet him.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
Yeah, come out of the shop.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yet what is it, Lily, Oh, spect lestride and this
must with mister Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I'm sure how you doing highs Longa.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'm very glad the inspector was able to persuade you
to come down here. Mister Holmes, I'm greatfully worried about
this business, particularly since Lilli's father insisted on coming back here.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
I'm afraid they're in great danger.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
But I can't make.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Mister Brillet see it.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
And baby.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I wonder if I might ask you a few questions.
Of course, mister Jones, before your father.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Had a stroke, did you receive any threats concerning his
occupancy of the shop.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Well, if he did, he never tell me about him.
It wouldn't surprise me. I often tell him his biggest
enemies himself.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
If you know what I mean, Yes, I.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Think I do, Miss Brillet, when you are a part
of this illness. Who decided to give up the lease
on the shop?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I did?
Speaker 9 (09:40):
No money was coming in, and well it looked like
Dad might be an invalid for life. Of course, I
couldn't rand the shot by myself anyhow. I never did
like this part of London. It wasn't the right business
for father.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
What was his reaction when you told him to have
given up the lease? Oh?
Speaker 9 (09:55):
He was awful angry with me, said, I forgot to
do it without asking him.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
By the way, Yeah, we saw that builded into again
as we walked up just now.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
It's been aiming around ever since we came back here, Inspector.
Has he actually come into the shop, No, but he
keeps walking by and looking in the window. I'm sure
if we both went into the bedroom or left the
shop for a little while, would he'd.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Come right in?
Speaker 5 (10:17):
And I suggest we give him the opportunity you're seeking
the grid.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I wonder if you would.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Miss along with would mind leaving.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
The shop for a while?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Of course not mister Holmes, to.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Make your departure rather stentitious. And shall we say, though
that he can't help noticing it. Give us half an
hour or so and then come back. Perhaps you wouldn't
mind going with.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
The mastrad mister Rose.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And this is my clay, I know, I know, But
in a situation like this, Watson and I work much
better alone.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
We may have to go a little outside the law in.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Your presence, Mighty Dallases, never think I was a detective too.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Half an hour.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
For Alstrad It touches the usual.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
By I blame him.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I'm leaving in completely in the dark. Come on, Watson,
behind the counter. No no, no, no, not under the door.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
Chat we lift the flap, so.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I just be clutched down behind here. That's it, Watson, Yes,
it's my bucket.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Good you meantime, make yourself as comfortable as these clamp
quarters will commit you may have.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
I don't wait ahead of this.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Look looks as we do.
Speaker 10 (11:40):
Now, Yes, yes, here he comes, I like button, put.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Your hands up.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I got you covered with this.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
My man?
Speaker 7 (11:59):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Who?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Who are you?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Never mind who I am? Just answer my question.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
I do not speak very.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Sick to him in the eye.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Up take me, Chirsty tomaw.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
By homego who comes here?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Umaradai from Johnny sector such a.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Now you don't my man?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Just say?
Speaker 7 (12:22):
I do all right?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
About to go?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
He's an our side.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I wish you tell me what fun is going on?
Who that man was, and why you let him go?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
And investigated from the Foreign Office, Old Chap giving his
instructions by my brother Micraft Micraft, yes, o fellow, And
then my brother fails to tell me all the facts
concerning this case. I begin to think that these triple
murders have far greater ramifications than we ever dreamed of.
Speaker 11 (12:48):
After Watson's story will continue in just a second, just
about time enough for me to mention that any meal
becomes a better meal.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
When you serve it with Petree wine.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
And say, you'll find that Petree California Burgundy and Petree
California So Turned are just made to go with food.
That Petrie Burgundy is a rich red wine that's bosom
pals with any meat or meat dish.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Boy, what a flavor. And that Petrie so.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Turn is the delicate white wine that's just.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Perfect with chicken or with fish. Yes, sir, with food,
you just can't feed our good Petree wine. And now
back to tonight's you Sherlock Holmes adventure. Poppling case is
occupying the attentions Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson. Three murders
(13:46):
have taken place in a small tobacconist shop in the
East end of London. As we rejoin our story, it's
late at night and Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, accompanied
buying sect Lestrade, are once again walking toward the ill
fated spot. Well, I don't see that you've accomplished much,
mister Ooms, except that.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
You've just bought me a nice dinner.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And make your progressless ran if anybody the elimination of
obvious suspects it.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
There's a pattern to this case, and I should give
us a clue.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
How do you mean home, consider the obvious motive of
these murders, and particularly observed the results state obtain the.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Murders the same in all three killings.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Rob thept of the two pounds from the till blank
you to the real murder?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Now, will you mean? Miss Crillit is your father.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
Yet I can't tell you how anxious I am for
you to talk to him. I'm going to meet mister longway.
He's taken me to the music or I should be
anxious after Jim. I hope you'll be able to stay
with jam until then.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Don't you worry, Miss Griddit will keep an eye on
him so much.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
Oh, oh, mister, please don't go into our rooms in
the deck, will you. I've left things to a fright
for me.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I quite understand this. Will see lathe.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
That's going to the shop.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh it's you, inspector, These gentlemen mister Sherlock Combs and
doctor Watts.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Did you meet young rely just now?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
She told her she was going after the musical with
mister Longworth. Yes, I'm afraid we had quite a set
to about that. A very strong willed girl. Lilive in
a strong will.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
And i'd assume that you disapprove of your daughter's association
with mister Longworth. Of course I do.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
With a top a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Then it's so blanche you can't see that he's up
to no good. I'm pretty sure either.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Afraid I might find out what's really at the back
of these are murders.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
And what is your theorism?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Well, I'll tell you it's in confidence.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Got nothing to back it up.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
I understand there's been talk of widening the docks around
here and it makes property values go up. You see.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Of course I am long We've been trying to buy
up all the other shops along the waterfront here, but
they wouldn't sell if you ask me. He's had these
murders done, just a parting people away so that they
he could buy cheap.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I'm not saying that he did the murders himself.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
He understand that he planned them and these parts is
easy enough any night to get a throat cup for
a couple of quid.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
That's why I'm greg your ear dance. You see I
I just got another warning warning?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
What do you mean for warning?
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Down the snow slipped under that door? They're not three
quarters of an hour ago.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
For calling you at eight thirty to night. You know
what's good for you.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You'll be waiting for me alone. By any funny picks,
you will go where I sent the rest of them.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yes, obvious in the killer possibly what's the time? Now
it's past it.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
I was hoping you, gentlemen, would wait in our rooms
back of the shop. You can hear what's going on
in here, and if it ties in the rough stuff,
you can pop in a habit.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
That's what I was about. Toddest myself are either way?
Will you just step behind the counter? Gents through here? Ah?
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Here we are exactly Buckingham Palace back here, But you
can make yourself come from a concergental.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Don't you worry about us?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I better turn up the guests.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
This bloke spot the light under the door in here?
Quite smell a rat?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Hell ah, As.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Soon as I see him coming in the shop, I'll
knock twice on the door like this, and that'll give
you the signal that he's here.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Is that right? Might not keep your ears open, gents,
I may need your help.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Where are you?
Speaker 8 (17:49):
I can't see a thing over here? Wat you know
I've got another theory. Why Jack along with my bablers,
you listening him along withouth, knows that that doesn't approve
of his heaving into the dull.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
So when he goes abroad, he leaves instructions to murder
the baptist. The assassins don't know about left having a stroke,
of course, and they keep murdering the wrong follow Well, that.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Makes very good sense, doctor. What do you say, mister Roones?
Hum home, Brian, that's not the least I haven't. I
was just exploring. That goes the front door. Somebody's coming.
(18:48):
We're going to go in.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
We've gotta get in there once something at all?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
What's locked? Never mind?
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Head, come on, help, Come on one more, poor devil.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
He slashed the knife.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Billet, billet?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
What the killers gone away? Can serve your energy?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
The murderer lies there. But that's really, of course it is,
that's just fucking Watson. I think you'll find the bloodstained
knife said, look.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Good lord, here's a razor in his bucket. It's covered
with blood. Do you mean to say that he slashed himself.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I said, the handcuffs tithing in the stride while he's
still play acting. It may be more difficult to handle
when he realizes the game's up. No need, Well, I've
knocked the wound in men out cold. Perhaps you will
tell me what's going on, mister Yes, I'm complete in
the dark tool almost very simple, really religious, just staged
(20:01):
a fake tank on himself, pull us into believing that
someone else is the murderer, threatening composed by himself for
the occasion.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
But we heard voices, We heard the shop door open.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
He heard Grit talking to himself as the shop door.
That's how he gave himself away. How do you mean,
mister owns. Whenever the shop door opens, there's a bell
that jangles, so.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
There is dangle.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
When we were in the back room, Brillet got us
in there, locked the door on us unabtrusively, and staged
his little drama.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
But we heard the door creak open and close.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Mister Roll, the creak of this flap in the counter
would sound exactly the same, My dear pelone on listen, Yes,
why how did.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
You spot the Grit was the man?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
It was obvious from the beginning that since nothing changed
about the shop except the ownership, that the attackers were
directed against any tobacconist who was.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Not relig himself.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Of course, his daughter Lily obviously knew what was going on. Well,
I don't see how you figure that one out, mister
Rowe every remarked that she made so that she loved
her father, she knew his failings. In any case, she
gave me the final clue what clothes that in very.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Point of the asking me not to go into the
back room of the shop.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Of course she meant the reverse of what she said.
I followed her advice. When you were explaining out here
to this land.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
What did your find?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Mister Rows, the scrillet had obligingly left the secret door open,
a door leading to a passageway that seemed to go
down to the waterfront.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Send it in a minute.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
But I still don't understand Let's motive homes.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Either the why or chap. No.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I suspect that from the interest of the Foreign Office
in the case this shop has been the headquarters of
a of an espionaswering, I'm afraid the final answer to
that question would have to be given by someone else.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Oh, by my elder brother Micraft. Humiliating, isn't it? Watson?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And what was the final answer to the question? Doctor
her Homes, who's writer as usual?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
And mister Forman.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
The shop had been the headquarters of Aspiring operated by Grilleth,
and many international criminals had been smuggled in England.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Foreign ships mowed up the river and died.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Mister Grillard hang for his crime.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
No, no he didn't, my boy, for he came to Trowy.
You haven't a stroke and he died.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Probably just as well for his daughter's sake.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
O his daughter a lovely girl. Did she marry long way?
Indeed she did.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
As a matter of facts to the wedding, it was
a very wonderful wedding reception would be lay yourself, miss
deform and in fact you'd delighted very much.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Say it's a pretty good wine.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Ha ha.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Was it a Petri wine by any chance?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Well, it was so good and easy it might have been, you.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Mean, because Petrie wine is the kind of a wine
you can't forget.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
That's exactly what I do.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
That because the Petrick family really knows all there is
to know about the fine art of turning luscious sun
ripe and grapes into fragrant, delicious wine. You see, the
Petrick family has been making wine ever since they started
the Petrie business way back in the eighteen hundreds, and
they've been able to hand on down in the family
from father to son, from father to son, every bit
of their skill and experience. That's why Petrie Wine is
(23:06):
so good today, because Petrie took time to bring you
good wine, and say, don't forget to take a moment
yourself and send for your free recipe calendar. Remember send
to Petree Wine Petrie Wine, San Francisco, twenty six, San Francisco,
twenty six, California.
Speaker 2 (23:21):

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Intended to apply only in those states and other localities
where its acceptance is.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Permissible by law and regulation.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Now, doctor, do you feel like giving us a hint
about next week's story?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Next week, mister Foreman, I'm going to tell you a
strange adventure that happened for homes and me in the
West end of London. It concerns the death of a
famous actor who's portraying the part of an equally famous man.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Shall uck home speak to doctor, see you next week
and say, from the news we've had so far today,
maybe by next week at this time we'll hear some
really good news from Europe.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I certainly hope, sir mister Pullman.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
But let us remember the word fiovo.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
When Germany quit, you've still got to lick Japan.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
That's going to take a long time.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
So instead of celebrating when v E Day comes along,
let's just strengthen our resolves. Support the war more than
ever here at home. Keep that war job, don't leave
it till your release. Keep on buying more and more
and more wall bonds and keep them.
Speaker 4 (24:18):

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Help all you can with all home front activities, and
observe all our wartime regulations such as christ stealing. That's
the real way to celebrate a victory in Europe, by
working harder to.

Battle Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of
Sherlock Holmes. The Petree family, the family that took time
to bring you good wine, invite you to listen to
doctor Watson tell us about another exciting adventure he shared
with his old friends that master Detective Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It began on a on a summer evening in nineteen
hundred and six. I'd been prolonged walk in the park.
I remember when I returned to Baker Street and entered
our rooms. Holmes looked up at me with a twinkle
and spo.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Ecluing with hope, Watson, I have a spidd.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Walk Manifola, he should come with me.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
The park was looking particularly beautiful about Chef Jurico absence.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
I've decided to write another monograph.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Oh, what's the subject?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Discern occupational liability to murder. For instance, the immortality rate
is naturally high among policemen and detective positions are murdered
with fair regularity, but the murder of a dentist is rare.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
And whoever heard of a murdered veterinary recision?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's quite true.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
But what's the occasion for this little homily?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
I've been browsing over my newspaper clippings.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, you would recall it.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
A hearing of a murdered tobtaconist.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Wants so that I do.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yet my tippings informed that no less than three tobacconists
have been murdered in the past six months, and all
the murders have occurred in the same small shop at
the eastern to London. Now, why whose first three tobacconists
would be murdered in the same shop?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Come, now, give me a logical solution to the problem.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
We know, well, well, let me see. You say that
the shop's in the eastern Yes, is near the river.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
As it happens, it's on the water's edge.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
And supposing the.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Tobacconist shop was the headquarters of a smuggling ring, perhaps
boxes of cars unloaded from the top and brought to
the shops, and cars containing pearls or opumous Having.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Watch some idear fool, you're doing splendidly. I'm just walk
in the path more frequently. You're positive it's stint lady.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Oh no, you're you're making fellow. I'll show you not
sorry expecting anyone.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh no, probably a visitor, missus Hudson, come on with
a fascinating period. Now, why are free to Bacconist's murders?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Well because they they know too much, that says Amanda's
share and the profets. So the head of the ring
decides to kill them.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Cars for them.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I want some my nymous congratulation.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
I can see that I'm very lucky in having a biographer.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But such a lively imagination.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Oh oh, glad to see you.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I hope I'm not including not at all, my dear fellow,
Alarm said down anything remarkable on hand?
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Oh no, miss Home being very particular.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Ah, then tell me all about it. The stude can't
anything from me?
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Can I say? Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
There is something on my mind and no mistake, and
it concerns the free murder to paknists. I see splendid
now either, blazy, did you know that your magic?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I'll tormal it wasn't. It's simple deduction.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Observe the finding regards peering out of the Strand's wrist bucket.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
They are of a fast.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Superior quality to his rusful brand. Obviously the scene of
his latest investigation as profits certain worlds, will we say
the professional purposites my rightless son.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Of course you are cavery one, mister, thank you us
my pipe. Well, how about you, doctor.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Oh thank you?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Turn about you, coronas and now inspect Cone tell me
about the.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Murder to pacness? How much do you know about the case.
That's what I've read in the papers, And.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Curiously enough, we were discussing the affair as you walked
in the shirt.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's a strange business, gentlemen. I need for hold of the.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Old story today.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
When i'd long talked to young Jack Longword, he's the
owner of the show.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
In relation to what.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
General Longworth it taller member of Parliament who battled so
successfully against the slum clearance his son, mister Roones, what's
my young fellow too? When his father died he inherited
this shop, along with a lot of other property in
the East Dead well, how big a shot gorge sold
in the wall, doctor, like all the other shops in
their part of London. Young mister Lungworth tells me, first
(04:17):
rents it to a man by the name of George Grinnet.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
He lives there with his daughter Lily, and made it
quite a nice go out of the shop. Six months ago,
when Deck.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Lungworth was abroad, George Grinnet.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Has a stroke and nearly kicks the kit. He nearly dies.
What happened the well?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
While he's in the hospital, his daughter gives up the
lease on the shop. A few days later an Italian
takes it over, and a couple of weeks later he's
found with his float cat.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Did you investigate that first made of self?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
No, mister Roones, seemed like any of a dozen kiddings
we get in their part of London. A shop keeper
cut up his tail empty no clue. Who was the
next tenant, a scotchman Lookee by the name of Macintosh.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
A few weeks after he moved in the same thing
happened to him that time. I did go down there,
but I couldn't find.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Out nothing was robbery again the parent motive, yes, sir,
that the kin won the same even was strangled with
a silk scarf.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Silk scarf. Eh And who was the third tenant?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
The man whose murdered yesterday, the Hindoo fellow, a man
by the name of Muka Jib.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
He takes it over a week last Friday, and yesterday we.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Finds him nice with the back and his money.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
God.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Of course I was down there before you could say
Crystal Palace.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
But once again I didn't find out nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
No knife, no finger prints of til no footprints, just
a very dead ind was youngest along with the landlord
in England when the murders occurred. That's the funny thing
about it, Miss Rose. He doctor Tilbury yesterday morning. He
didn't know nothing about what had been going on.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I imagine he'd have difficulty in renting the shop after
three murders.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
That's just it, doctor, That's why he comes to me
at the yard. George Gridneth is first tenant of the shop,
moved back there to day with his daughter Liddy. Young
mister Long was worried about them.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
If you ask me, he's more worried about that daughter
than he's a bad old man. Grillith.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So the original sentence of the shop back in residence
again day and what do you want me to do?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Well?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I perhaps you would be interested enough to come along
with me.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
And look at the shop, mister. I very glad to
my dear fellow, it's got at Watson resident master, Well,
Mike Grant, how are you.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
What? Yes, yes, he he shall.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Now of course I do everything I can certainly have
dinner together soon, comn splendid idea?
Speaker 5 (06:49):
All right?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
All right? Is that your brother home?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (06:53):
To start?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I do think you might have told me the whole truth.
What do you mean, sir?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I thought your visit was prompted by a need for
friendly assistance. I didn't realize that you came here virtually
on a government order.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
World. It wasn't just quite like that.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It's throw the government got to do with the case.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And how does your brother Micraft?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yet?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
One thing? We make certain?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
There's obviously a great deal more in this case than
Astrad would have us believe.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Why do you say that to him?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It was, dear in mind alf a little bit occasionally,
Micraft is the British Government nice part of London to
take a walk in on a foggy night, Ainty Generals.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
All our policemen work down here in pairs, you.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Know, so I don't blame them. It's a vile neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
There's the shop just head of us with a sign
hanging out.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And and no, there is again see that bearded in
new scouting over around the corner of the area.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
He's been haunting the place ever since. Chenda you didnhim
to do a hans place? Eh?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yes, and yesterday home the Hindu propart of the shop
was murdered.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Well, here we are.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I'll go in first, pressed for it's Lily, George Great's
daughters with the shop to keep your wet.
Speaker 9 (08:28):
Oh, it's you, inspectulus charge.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yes, mister, I brought some gentlemen to see your father.
This is mister Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Please to meet you.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Aren't sure you do, young Lily?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Is your dad O, No.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
Inspector, he won't be until after dinner.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
We're down at the docksy.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Did you see about some cigar shipments? Mister long after
you if you want to see you? We were just
adding some tea in the back room.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yes, I like these gentlemen to meet him.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
Yeah, come out of the shop.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yet what is it, Lily, Oh, spect lestride and this
must with mister Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I'm sure how you doing highs Longa.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'm very glad the inspector was able to persuade you
to come down here. Mister Holmes, I'm greatfully worried about
this business, particularly since Lilli's father insisted on coming back here.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
I'm afraid they're in great danger.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
But I can't make.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Mister Brillet see it.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
And baby.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I wonder if I might ask you a few questions.
Of course, mister Jones, before your father.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Had a stroke, did you receive any threats concerning his
occupancy of the shop.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Well, if he did, he never tell me about him.
It wouldn't surprise me. I often tell him his biggest
enemies himself.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
If you know what I mean, Yes, I.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Think I do, Miss Brillet, when you are a part
of this illness. Who decided to give up the lease
on the shop?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I did?
Speaker 9 (09:40):
No money was coming in, and well it looked like
Dad might be an invalid for life. Of course, I
couldn't rand the shot by myself anyhow. I never did
like this part of London. It wasn't the right business
for father.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
What was his reaction when you told him to have
given up the lease? Oh?
Speaker 9 (09:55):
He was awful angry with me, said, I forgot to
do it without asking him.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
By the way, Yeah, we saw that builded into again
as we walked up just now.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
It's been aiming around ever since we came back here, Inspector.
Has he actually come into the shop, No, but he
keeps walking by and looking in the window. I'm sure
if we both went into the bedroom or left the
shop for a little while, would he'd.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Come right in?
Speaker 5 (10:17):
And I suggest we give him the opportunity you're seeking
the grid.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I wonder if you would.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Miss along with would mind leaving.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
The shop for a while?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Of course not mister Holmes, to.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Make your departure rather stentitious. And shall we say, though
that he can't help noticing it. Give us half an
hour or so and then come back. Perhaps you wouldn't
mind going with.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
The mastrad mister Rose.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And this is my clay, I know, I know, But
in a situation like this, Watson and I work much
better alone.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
We may have to go a little outside the law in.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Your presence, Mighty Dallases, never think I was a detective too.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Half an hour.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
For Alstrad It touches the usual.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
By I blame him.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I'm leaving in completely in the dark. Come on, Watson,
behind the counter. No no, no, no, not under the door.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
Chat we lift the flap, so.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I just be clutched down behind here. That's it, Watson, Yes,
it's my bucket.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Good you meantime, make yourself as comfortable as these clamp
quarters will commit you may have.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
I don't wait ahead of this.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Look looks as we do.
Speaker 10 (11:40):
Now, Yes, yes, here he comes, I like button, put.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Your hands up.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I got you covered with this.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
My man?
Speaker 7 (11:59):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Who?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Who are you?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Never mind who I am? Just answer my question.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
I do not speak very.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Sick to him in the eye.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Up take me, Chirsty tomaw.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
By homego who comes here?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Umaradai from Johnny sector such a.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Now you don't my man?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Just say?
Speaker 7 (12:22):
I do all right?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
About to go?
Speaker 5 (12:23):
He's an our side.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I wish you tell me what fun is going on?
Who that man was, and why you let him go?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
And investigated from the Foreign Office, Old Chap giving his
instructions by my brother Micraft Micraft, yes, o fellow, And
then my brother fails to tell me all the facts
concerning this case. I begin to think that these triple
murders have far greater ramifications than we ever dreamed of.
Speaker 11 (12:48):
After Watson's story will continue in just a second, just
about time enough for me to mention that any meal
becomes a better meal.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
When you serve it with Petree wine.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
And say, you'll find that Petree California Burgundy and Petree
California So Turned are just made to go with food.
That Petrie Burgundy is a rich red wine that's bosom
pals with any meat or meat dish.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Boy, what a flavor. And that Petrie so.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Turn is the delicate white wine that's just.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Perfect with chicken or with fish. Yes, sir, with food,
you just can't feed our good Petree wine. And now
back to tonight's you Sherlock Holmes adventure. Poppling case is
occupying the attentions Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson. Three murders
(13:46):
have taken place in a small tobacconist shop in the
East end of London. As we rejoin our story, it's
late at night and Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, accompanied
buying sect Lestrade, are once again walking toward the ill
fated spot. Well, I don't see that you've accomplished much,
mister Ooms, except that.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
You've just bought me a nice dinner.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
And make your progressless ran if anybody the elimination of
obvious suspects it.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
There's a pattern to this case, and I should give
us a clue.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
How do you mean home, consider the obvious motive of
these murders, and particularly observed the results state obtain the.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Murders the same in all three killings.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Rob thept of the two pounds from the till blank
you to the real murder?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Now, will you mean? Miss Crillit is your father.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
Yet I can't tell you how anxious I am for
you to talk to him. I'm going to meet mister longway.
He's taken me to the music or I should be
anxious after Jim. I hope you'll be able to stay
with jam until then.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Don't you worry, Miss Griddit will keep an eye on
him so much.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
Oh, oh, mister, please don't go into our rooms in
the deck, will you. I've left things to a fright
for me.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I quite understand this. Will see lathe.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
That's going to the shop.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh it's you, inspector, These gentlemen mister Sherlock Combs and
doctor Watts.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Did you meet young rely just now?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
She told her she was going after the musical with
mister Longworth. Yes, I'm afraid we had quite a set
to about that. A very strong willed girl. Lilive in
a strong will.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
And i'd assume that you disapprove of your daughter's association
with mister Longworth. Of course I do.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
With a top a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Then it's so blanche you can't see that he's up
to no good. I'm pretty sure either.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Afraid I might find out what's really at the back
of these are murders.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
And what is your theorism?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Well, I'll tell you it's in confidence.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Got nothing to back it up.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
I understand there's been talk of widening the docks around
here and it makes property values go up. You see.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Of course I am long We've been trying to buy
up all the other shops along the waterfront here, but
they wouldn't sell if you ask me. He's had these
murders done, just a parting people away so that they
he could buy cheap.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
I'm not saying that he did the murders himself.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
He understand that he planned them and these parts is
easy enough any night to get a throat cup for
a couple of quid.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
That's why I'm greg your ear dance. You see I
I just got another warning warning?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
What do you mean for warning?
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Down the snow slipped under that door? They're not three
quarters of an hour ago.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
For calling you at eight thirty to night. You know
what's good for you.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You'll be waiting for me alone. By any funny picks,
you will go where I sent the rest of them.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yes, obvious in the killer possibly what's the time? Now
it's past it.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
I was hoping you, gentlemen, would wait in our rooms
back of the shop. You can hear what's going on
in here, and if it ties in the rough stuff,
you can pop in a habit.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
That's what I was about. Toddest myself are either way?
Will you just step behind the counter? Gents through here? Ah?
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Here we are exactly Buckingham Palace back here, But you
can make yourself come from a concergental.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Don't you worry about us?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I better turn up the guests.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
This bloke spot the light under the door in here?
Quite smell a rat?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Hell ah, As.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Soon as I see him coming in the shop, I'll
knock twice on the door like this, and that'll give
you the signal that he's here.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Is that right? Might not keep your ears open, gents,
I may need your help.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Where are you?
Speaker 8 (17:49):
I can't see a thing over here? Wat you know
I've got another theory. Why Jack along with my bablers,
you listening him along withouth, knows that that doesn't approve
of his heaving into the dull.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
So when he goes abroad, he leaves instructions to murder
the baptist. The assassins don't know about left having a stroke,
of course, and they keep murdering the wrong follow Well, that.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Makes very good sense, doctor. What do you say, mister Roones?
Hum home, Brian, that's not the least I haven't. I
was just exploring. That goes the front door. Somebody's coming.
(18:48):
We're going to go in.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
We've gotta get in there once something at all?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
What's locked? Never mind?
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Head, come on, help, Come on one more, poor devil.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
He slashed the knife.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Billet, billet?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
What the killers gone away? Can serve your energy?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
The murderer lies there. But that's really, of course it is,
that's just fucking Watson. I think you'll find the bloodstained
knife said, look.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Good lord, here's a razor in his bucket. It's covered
with blood. Do you mean to say that he slashed himself.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I said, the handcuffs tithing in the stride while he's
still play acting. It may be more difficult to handle
when he realizes the game's up. No need, Well, I've
knocked the wound in men out cold. Perhaps you will
tell me what's going on, mister Yes, I'm complete in
the dark tool almost very simple, really religious, just staged
(20:01):
a fake tank on himself, pull us into believing that
someone else is the murderer, threatening composed by himself for
the occasion.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
But we heard voices, We heard the shop door open.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
He heard Grit talking to himself as the shop door.
That's how he gave himself away. How do you mean,
mister owns. Whenever the shop door opens, there's a bell
that jangles, so.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
There is dangle.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
When we were in the back room, Brillet got us
in there, locked the door on us unabtrusively, and staged
his little drama.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
But we heard the door creak open and close.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Mister Roll, the creak of this flap in the counter
would sound exactly the same, My dear pelone on listen, Yes,
why how did.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
You spot the Grit was the man?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
It was obvious from the beginning that since nothing changed
about the shop except the ownership, that the attackers were
directed against any tobacconist who was.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Not relig himself.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Of course, his daughter Lily obviously knew what was going on. Well,
I don't see how you figure that one out, mister
Rowe every remarked that she made so that she loved
her father, she knew his failings. In any case, she
gave me the final clue what clothes that in very.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Point of the asking me not to go into the
back room of the shop.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Of course she meant the reverse of what she said.
I followed her advice. When you were explaining out here
to this land.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
What did your find?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Mister Rows, the scrillet had obligingly left the secret door open,
a door leading to a passageway that seemed to go
down to the waterfront.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Send it in a minute.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
But I still don't understand Let's motive homes.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Either the why or chap. No.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I suspect that from the interest of the Foreign Office
in the case this shop has been the headquarters of
a of an espionaswering, I'm afraid the final answer to
that question would have to be given by someone else.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Oh, by my elder brother Micraft. Humiliating, isn't it? Watson?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And what was the final answer to the question? Doctor
her Homes, who's writer as usual?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
And mister Forman.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
The shop had been the headquarters of Aspiring operated by Grilleth,
and many international criminals had been smuggled in England.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Foreign ships mowed up the river and died.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Mister Grillard hang for his crime.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
No, no he didn't, my boy, for he came to Trowy.
You haven't a stroke and he died.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Probably just as well for his daughter's sake.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
O his daughter a lovely girl. Did she marry long way?
Indeed she did.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
As a matter of facts to the wedding, it was
a very wonderful wedding reception would be lay yourself, miss
deform and in fact you'd delighted very much.

Speaker 5 (22:33):

ripe and grapes into fragrant, delicious wine. You see, the
Petrick family has been making wine ever since they started
the Petrie business way back in the eighteen hundreds, and
they've been able to hand on down in the family
from father to son, from father to son, every bit
of their skill and experience. That's why Petrie Wine is
