Speaker 1 (00:04):
The Adventures of the Falcon Alone. Yes, this is the
Falcon speaking, Oh Millie, thanks for calling Angel. We have
to make it some other night. Tonight. I'm tied up
with a family that's anxious to cash in on a
rich uncle's inheritance, and from the way things are going,
(00:25):
looks like it's going to be relatively dangerous. You met
the Falcon first in his best selling novels. Then you
saw him in his thrilling motion picture series. Now join
him on the air when the Falcon solves the Case
of the Cautious Cousin, and now the Case of the
(00:56):
Cautious Cousin. It's early Wednesday evening in New York and
sallow faced Ryan Sherman, who has just entered his apartment,
chose a bottle containing a clear liquid to his wife.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Clear well, Claire. There it is looks harmless, doesn't it?
Hard to believe? There's enough in there to kill a
dozen men?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
And you're sure nothing can go wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Not a chance. I've read everything published on it. I
know exactly how it acts. Five drops will kill a
normal man in two to four hours and gives us
plenty of timely way, and that amount would never be
tasted in the cocktail.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, then I guess we're ready to call Ernest.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I already did. He'll be here tomorrow at four for cocktails.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Good do you want me to be here?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
No, it'll look better if I'm alone when Wearing comes?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Who's wearing?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Michael Wearing is a private detective?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Is he the one they call the falcon?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I see you've heard of him.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Naturally, he has quite a reputation. Isn't it a little
dangerous getting him involved? Suppose he finds out?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh he won't. I have everything planned too well, and
calling him as part of the plan the necessary clincher.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well, if you're sure you know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I'm sure nothing will go wrong. This plan of mine
is worth a million dollars. And I mean that literally.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Hope you're making that dry, Brian? You know I like
my my deenies very dry.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yes, Ernest, I think you'll find these are the way
you like them. There now, I'll just put an alid
Oh I would do that. Well, I'm glad it's the
empty one.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Ernest.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Will you go in the dining room and get me
another glass while I brush this up?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
All right? Where we'll I find it?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
You'll see the glasses there on the sideboard. Find them, Yes,
here there good.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
You know that little accident wasn't necessary or to take
something to you nerves? Brian not looking well, not well
at all.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I've been working too hard. I guess now that Uncle
George isn't well.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yes, I know it's a strain on all of us.
But got to keep up our health. Wesh air exercise,
that's the secret. Look at me forty five, fit as
a fiddle, long walk every day for breakfast. That does it?
You ought to try it.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Here's your glass and thanks, just a second till I
throw this in the wastebasket. Here we are.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Now, and uh, incidentally, Brian, you might go a little
easier on that stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
An occasional cocktail now on then won't hurt. But moderation.
There's the word in large doses. That stuff's poison. Right
one is taken to excess. Oh, I understand you and
Claire have been hitting.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
It a little heavy lately. Not wise.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Now try to watch it now, Ernest, here's your poison.
Thanks well, Dryana, Yes seems to be well. I don't
see how you can tell by that little sip.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I like to nurse a drink along last longer. That
way keeps you from drinking too much.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Another one of you hints, it's a thought. Now, just
what did you want to see me about Uncle George?
What are we going to do about him?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Don't see there's anything we can do.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Do you think we can trust his judgment? His health's failing.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
We'll just have to watch him and keep him from
doing anything foolish. But his house is in order. Will's
made out, leaving everything to you and me. We're already
running the business.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I know, but look, you're not touching your drink. Is
anything the matter with it?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I don't get around to it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, I wish you would. I've tried a new remoose.
I want to see how you like it.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
More likely you want to encourage me to be a
topa than I can't lecture it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
No, no, really, I just wanted to excuse me. I'll
be read that.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Hello, I'd like to speak to Brian Sherman. Please speaking
Hello Sherman, This is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Oh yes, mister Wearing. What is it?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Something's come up? I may have to be a little late.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
But I was counting on you to be here at
six forty five. I've made all arrangements.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
What arrangements?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh well, I mean I have plans for this evening
and I kind of want to have time to talk
to you.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I see, all right, I'll make it. You're sure if
it's so important, believe me, mister Wearing, it is all
right seeing him? Yes, yes, goodbye Wearing. Do I know him? No?
I don't think so, Ernest, Well, what's it all about?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Nothing that concerns you. You wouldn't be interested.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Well, and now what were you saying about.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Uncle in just a minutes? Well, then I put my
drink here, it is on the table next to mine.
Oh yes, you still haven't touched yours. Good heavens man,
you make such a mind just that.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I why know, I know, I know, I know you've
a moves very well, it'll make you happy. Here's to
a long and prosperous life.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Mister Wearing.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
That's right. Come in. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, I'm Brian Sherman. Sorry I have to be so
insistent about your being on time, but I have a
dinner engagement in a little while, and I don't want
to keep the folks waiting.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Not your dimes, So you call the place.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well, from what I've heard of you, mister Warring. You
don't work for dimes.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
From the look at this place, you can afford more
than dimes. Oh why am I here?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I wanted to see you about my cousin Ernest. He
and I, as far as I know, are the only
heirs to our uncle's estate.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That be George Sherman, the industrialist.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But yes, yes, that's.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Right, definitely not dimes.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
No, no, it's millions, that's why.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
What's the matter?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I don't know, It's just I feel a little funny
all of a sudden. But I'll be all right now.
What was I saying?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
You were telling me about your cousin Ernest.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yes, yes, he was here a little while ago, and
he had a I don't know why I'm getting so
sleep to you, and I'm better get you a shot
of brand that's what That's how it.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It must be Chairman homicide serge in corpaste, Hello, corpet
is Mike wearing? So it's not my lucky day? What
do you want wearing? Not a thing? But there's been
(07:25):
a murder attempt and the people of the state of
New York expect you to do your duty. How come
it's just an attempt? Bumm aim bum timing. It was
a poison job. I barsed in while the victim was
still kicking, took him to a hospital. That's what I'm
calling from. Now. Can he talk? Well, not right now.
They're still manning the stomach pump. But it won't be long.
I'll be right over. I'll stay put wearing. I want
to talk to you too, Sorry, Corbett, I can't wait now.
(07:45):
Was that any way to talk? You want to give
the idea you don't like me like you are? You
are my favorite cop. You know that, Corbett. If I
ever commit a murder, I can't imagine anyone. I'd rather
have a sign to the case. You can go and
go follow up a lead. That's why I have to
rush away. I'll meet your head munching that. Okay, what
can I say? They can say? Okay, so on, Carpett. Yes,
(08:18):
I'd like to see Ernest Sherman please.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I'm sorry he can't see anyone just now.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
It's important.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
He's too upset. He's just received some terrible news about
his cousin.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, that's what I want to see him about.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
What do you know about it?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Not enough? I was hoping your husband could tell me more.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Someone about Brian him, I told him tell him how
to go away, said he didn't want to see anybody.
That's what I love a man, a firm determination. Come in.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Thank you? How do you do some?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I'm Ernest Sherman. I understand you want to see me
about Brian.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Well, I just got a call from the hospital. They
tell me he tried to kill himself.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
They didn't.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
What do you mean are you trying to suggest trying
to find out just what made you come here?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I thought you might help. When's the last time you
saw your cousin? Oh, a couple of days ago? Why?
I don't look now, but there's a liar in the
Sherman family. Don't be impertinent, don't blow your lid. Maybe
Brian's the liar. Eh, he said you saw him today.
When did he tell you that just before he passed out? Oh?
That means you were there. That's right. Well then, mister,
(09:27):
I don't believe you told me your name. I don't
believe I did. It's Mike Wearing. Wearing you're the one
who phoned Brian. Thought you didn't see Brian today? Well,
today is the only time I phoned him. Well, anyway,
you know I left. I wasn't there when you got there.
That's right, So I couldn't have given the poison. Why not?
Some poisons act slowly? They didn't. You know? You still
haven't told me why you came here. Brian wanted to
(09:50):
hire me to check up on you. He was afraid
of you. That's ridiculous. He's in the hospital. I had
nothing to do with it, and I resent your implications.
I'm just doing a job. I don't like the way
you're doing it.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Don't argue with him, Ernest, It's no use. Can't you
see he came here with his mind already made up?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Did I?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
That's obvious if you knew, Ernest, you know he wouldn't
harm a fly.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It's not a fly that's been harmed. Tell me something worrying.
You took Brian to the hospital. That's right. They do.
They think he'll live. Oh you needn't worry. Is that
he'll be all right?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Or is that what worries you?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Hello, Corbett, see I've already ordered. Oh yeah, wearing sitdwan?
Why did you check your lead? Yep? Cousin, Ernest, I
see Brian's been able to toy He figures cousin Ernest
wants him out of the way, and that would leave
Ernest is the only one in line for their uncle's inheritance,
and it runs into a million. Yeah, I know it's
an awful lot of lettuce. Did you get Ernest to
talk through his hat? Yeah, and I'm thinking of booking
(11:01):
him for attempted murder. You think it will hold? Now?
It's a family with influence, Corbett depends upon which cousin
Uncle George desires to string along with. Yeah, but if
we can make him say Ernest is getting itchy for
the dull, maybe what happens, we'll convince him. Anyway, there's
one way to find out. What do you say? We'd
fry him as soon as we finish here. Yes, hello,
(11:32):
and I can speak to mister George Sherman. You are
If you're a reporter, you might as well know. I'm
not a reporter. My name is Mike Wearing. I'm a
private detective. I'm not interested in the services of a detective. Well,
I'm not looking for a client. I already have one.
Then what do you want? Well, if you'll give me
three seconds, I'll tell you very well. I'm waiting your nephew.
Bryan hired me. He was afraid of his cousin nonsin.
(11:54):
Why should Ernest German? Who's that?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's only me?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Earnest, Ruth. I thought I had the door bolted, I
locked all the windows.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
What's the matter with you?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Didn't you hear what happened to Uncle George? It's on
the radio, yes, But why are you so worried? See
it all now? Brian wasn't supposed to get that poison.
I was fucked. Yes, Brian tried to kill me. He
did kill Uncle George.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
How could Brian kill Uncle George when he's in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
He's been released. That was on the radio too, and
he'd be coming for me to try again. I know
he will.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Well, then go to the police, get them to arrest Brian.
Then he can't hurt you.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Oh, they'll arrest me after all, Ruth, Brian is the
one who was poisoned.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
First. I've got to be able to prove it was
a mistake, can you I think so? For the help
of that fellow wearing.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Then let's call him.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I can't wait here. Brian may come or the police.
I've gotta get away. What are you going to do?
Hide out. Then maybe what's that? What I heard? Something?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I thought you were the man with the iron nerves
a walk every day before breakfast.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
There was something the door I told you.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Shall I see who it is.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Let's be quiet.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Maybe you'll go away.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
He must have heard us and it may be nothing.
Let me find it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Don't open the door. Call all right?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
There?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
You are just who you want it?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Wait a minute, I've got to be sure he's on
my side. Well, how are you going to with this?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I didn't know you owned a gun?
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Now you do give me patient.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Let him in.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I don't like troubles.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
There won't be any. I got to jump on him.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Open the door, all right, but be careful. Come in,
mister Wearing.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Thank you. I just wanted to Well, this is what
I call a warm reception. Sorry, Wearing.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I can't take any chances. I gotta be sure you
know the facts, remember them correctly, and I'm willing to
stand by them.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You sure you want fact? Yes? Facts? Which fact? First?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
You phone Brian today? That's right at quarter to five?
Right again, I was there when you called. You made
a point of that before.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Still no argument. You'll swear to those statements. I've already
told them to the police.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Why we're all right there, just had to be sure
about what facts so I can prove Brian tried to
kill me instead.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Of the other way around.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
But what's the phone call got to do with that.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Brian prepared two drinks, one for him, one for me.
He just served them when the phone call interrupted. We
put down our drinks on the same tray.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And you think they got mixed up?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Must have I got his, he got mine. You buy wearing.
It's possible.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
It's facts, as long as you've given them to the police.
I'm ready to talk to them now.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Good boy, and I'm ready to talk to my client again.
Oh hello, mister worrying. Hello Brian, how a feeling shaky?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Stomach pumps? No fun?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Good one in Thanks? You heard about your uncle.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yes, that's shaking me too.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Police are going to want to talk to you about it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Whoy am me. It would seem obvious after what.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Ernest has an angle that involves you. That's why I'm here.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
He claims the poison was meant for him, You got it?
Buy a mistake? What he claims while you were talking
to me on the phone he picked up the wrong glass.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
But it's a lie.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, somebody's lying. I think I can find out who.
How I wanted to be a little late for my
appointment with you. You said it couldn't be arranged because
you had a dinner date right after. That's right. Who
was the date with?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
What difference does that make?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You passed out while I was here and I took
you to the hospital. Obviously you weren't able to keep
your date, that's right. Whoever the date was with must
have wondered why you didn't show up. But I checked
with the desk downstairs, and nobody phoned this apartment during
the evening.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I don't see that that proves anything.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
It doesn't prove that. It indicates you could have been lying.
I tell you I wasn't, and that was a simple
way to Rubert. Just tell me who your date was with,
if he or she or they confirmed it? All right?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Wearing You took this case for money, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah? Somehow I like to eat.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Champagne and cavire, No mind, how much would it cost
for you to forget that I mentioned at dinner date?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You can forget your caviar, stick to hamburgers.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I'm serious, I'm ready to do business. I'm not well,
then I'll have to figure some other method of persuasion.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Now, don't try reaching for a gun. I'm watching him.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
What makes you think I'd pull a gun?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Thought it might run in the family, also by marriage,
good girl clan.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Well, Brian, we've got him. Now what do we do
with him?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
First of all, I think we do this, oh her
pleasant dreams, Mike.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
That you call? Yeah, come on, come on, come on,
get up. If you get your line, mic h, this
is where you're supposed to say, what hit me?
Speaker 5 (17:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
What hit me? A lamp? We found it on the floor.
If I didn't feel the way I do, i'd make
a crack about Shoot, he's himself again. What brought you here?
The same thing that brought you? Wanted to talk to
Brian Sherman, But him and the mississ are gone. I
find you instead. How about Ernest? Did he tell you
the story? Yeah? It could have happened like he said,
(17:25):
but I'm not taking any chances. I'm holding mo suspicion. Anyway,
you might as well let him go after what happened
up here? Did happen up here? Looks like Brian and
his wife made a play for time. I guess they
wanted me out of the running until they had time
to whip up a dinner date for Brian. Dinner day.
It's the middle of the night. I know this was
for earlier this evening. You better be careful, wearing. If
(17:45):
you keep on getting cracked on the skull. One of
these days you're going to start talking sense homicide Sergeant
Corbett speaking, Oh you did? Huh? Bring them in right away? Right? Solong?
(18:11):
Well worrying. A couple of boys just picked up Brian
and his wife Claire. Good. Yeah, Now that I let
Ernest go, I gotta hold somebody. Are you going to
book them? None of the Shenanigans prove they killed Uncle George. Well,
I can hold them on a tempted murder. Hey wait,
they clouded me with a lamp. You might hold them
on a salt and battery, but it was hardly attempted murder. Oh,
I'm talking about cousin Ernest. What about it. We're agreed
(18:33):
he didn't try to give Brian the poison. That's right. Well,
then the stands the reason Brian must have tried to
give it to Ernest, And in my book, that's a
tempted murder, and it's just a step from there to
knocking off Uncle George. Well, I had to spoil the fun, Corbett.
But Brian didn't try to kill Ernest. What I said?
You said Ernest didn't try to kill Brian. And now
you say Brian didn't try to kill Ernest. That's right. Well,
then where in the blazer did the poison come from
(18:55):
from Brian? But you just said I said he didn't
mean it for Ernest, But then who did he mean
it for? For the person who got it himself? What
you mean suicide attempt? No, Corbett wasn't suicide either.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
No, great, great, I got to admit wearing. Now I'm
completely confused. Well, I've got news for you, corvitt on
you it looks natural.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. Twenty minutes
have passed since the Falcon said, Corbett's head spinning with
a tangled turn of events, and Corbett is still spinning
as he and Mike race in the squad car toward
cousin Ernest's wearing. Yes, Corbett, Brian Sherman was poisoned. That's right,
But it wasn't a mistake. No, and it wasn't attempted suicide. No,
(19:47):
and cousin Ernest didn't do it. Uh huh, well then
how could oh never mind? Why should I give you
the satisfaction of playing straight? You fit the role so beautifully, Corbett,
only if Brian did it. At I don't see why
we're going to Ernest, especially since you just had me
release Earnest. Well, these new developmentws developments. You can take
(20:07):
the new developments and salve a case with them. Now,
look you see it's like this Corbett's Brian wanted to
get his rubby little paws on all of Uncle George's money.
So we rigged up this poison act, knowing the poison
would act slowly, and I but in on him in
time to get him to hospital. Oh that's why he
was so determined that you had to be on time,
Right you are, Corbett? How'd you figure it? Oh? Simple?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I listened to a program called The Falcon Flatterer. Oh
I don't like it. I just listened anyway. Wearing now
I begin to understand Brian's monkey shine.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Sure he canted on me to save him in time,
but it would still look like Ernest to try to
kill him and that might lead Uncle George disinhurt. Ernest
all right wearing. That takes care of the poison attempt.
But we still got to find a murder by George Corbet.
We still got to find a murderer. My uncle George
(21:00):
right down on the end of the car to Corvid.
I know, Hey, yeah, come on, we'll have to break
in the door. Yeah you're ready, come on, one, two, three. Hey,
it's a heavy one. We'll have to try it again. No, wait,
like someone's coming. Yeah there, Sergeant Carbet, all right, Sargant,
(21:22):
just a minute. Way you pounded on that door. I
thought you were trying to knock it down. I heard
your wife screaming, Ruth.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Not is it?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Where is she?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Ruth?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Come here a minute? Will you come in jail? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Hello?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Sagean Covid and mister Waring Ruth.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
These gentlemen have the idea that you were screaming just now.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I why would I.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
That's what we want to find out. They're both trying
to do a nice cover up, but it won't work. Look, Corbett,
there's a swelling under her eye and it's coming up fast.
Ten Bucks says it's a first class shiner in ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Well, I bumped it, sure.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Ernest, Next time you slug your wife do it. Word
won't show? But I didn't. Won't you believe that?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But what reasonably? Why do you guess the truth and
we're trying to force a confession out of her? Truth?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
What truth?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That she killed Uncle George? What did you say, Wearing,
Ruth sherman killed Uncle Jeorge.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
That's absurd.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I don't think so, Ruth. In the family of Heels,
you're the champion by a long shot, all right, Wearing,
how did you know Ruth? Was it killer? Oh Corbett?
I knew no one of the family would want to
commit the murder at this time. Right when the apparent
(22:40):
attempt on Brian at the police's attention turned on the
family was still it was done at this time, which
meant the murderer couldn't help himself or herself. There was
no choice, And as soon as I knew the murderer
was forced, I knew it had to be either Ernest
or Ruth. Why O'Brien wanted to look as if he'd
been poisoned by Ernest. If his bluff worked, Uncle George
might change his will hurting Ernest. So Ruther Ernest have
(23:02):
to get rid of him quick before he can change
the will. Okay, but Ernest couldn't do it. He was
afraid of being accused of attempted murder against Brian. If
he couldn't clear himself of that charge, killing Uncle George
would only put him in a worse spot. He'd be
the most likely suspect. Now. It's only art was to
try to prove he didn't poison Brian, which Lee's Ruth
is the only one to gain by killing Uncle George,
(23:22):
or so she thought, Yeah, well that does it? Wearing? Uh,
you're wearing. I can't help wondering just what you'd do
without me? Oh, I solved the case and he said no, no,
I mean it. What would you do if I didn't
ask you? How did you know? So you can pop
your best button showing how smart you are. Oh, I
(23:43):
suppose i'd be popping off to a cute little redhead
instead of a ball flat foot. In fact, that sounds
like a pretty good idea, So good night, Corbett.
The Adventures of the Falcon Alone. Yes, this is the
Falcon speaking, Oh Millie, thanks for calling Angel. We have
to make it some other night. Tonight. I'm tied up
with a family that's anxious to cash in on a
rich uncle's inheritance, and from the way things are going,
(00:25):
looks like it's going to be relatively dangerous. You met
the Falcon first in his best selling novels. Then you
saw him in his thrilling motion picture series. Now join
him on the air when the Falcon solves the Case
of the Cautious Cousin, and now the Case of the
(00:56):
Cautious Cousin. It's early Wednesday evening in New York and
sallow faced Ryan Sherman, who has just entered his apartment,
chose a bottle containing a clear liquid to his wife.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Clear well, Claire. There it is looks harmless, doesn't it?
Hard to believe? There's enough in there to kill a
dozen men?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
And you're sure nothing can go wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Not a chance. I've read everything published on it. I
know exactly how it acts. Five drops will kill a
normal man in two to four hours and gives us
plenty of timely way, and that amount would never be
tasted in the cocktail.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, then I guess we're ready to call Ernest.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I already did. He'll be here tomorrow at four for cocktails.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Good do you want me to be here?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
No, it'll look better if I'm alone when Wearing comes?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Who's wearing?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Michael Wearing is a private detective?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Is he the one they call the falcon?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I see you've heard of him.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Naturally, he has quite a reputation. Isn't it a little
dangerous getting him involved? Suppose he finds out?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh he won't. I have everything planned too well, and
calling him as part of the plan the necessary clincher.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well, if you're sure you know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I'm sure nothing will go wrong. This plan of mine
is worth a million dollars. And I mean that literally.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Hope you're making that dry, Brian? You know I like
my my deenies very dry.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yes, Ernest, I think you'll find these are the way
you like them. There now, I'll just put an alid
Oh I would do that. Well, I'm glad it's the
empty one.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Ernest.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Will you go in the dining room and get me
another glass while I brush this up?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
All right? Where we'll I find it?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
You'll see the glasses there on the sideboard. Find them, Yes,
here there good.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
You know that little accident wasn't necessary or to take
something to you nerves? Brian not looking well, not well
at all.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I've been working too hard. I guess now that Uncle
George isn't well.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yes, I know it's a strain on all of us.
But got to keep up our health. Wesh air exercise,
that's the secret. Look at me forty five, fit as
a fiddle, long walk every day for breakfast. That does it?
You ought to try it.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Here's your glass and thanks, just a second till I
throw this in the wastebasket. Here we are.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Now, and uh, incidentally, Brian, you might go a little
easier on that stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
An occasional cocktail now on then won't hurt. But moderation.
There's the word in large doses. That stuff's poison. Right
one is taken to excess. Oh, I understand you and
Claire have been hitting.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
It a little heavy lately. Not wise.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Now try to watch it now, Ernest, here's your poison.
Thanks well, Dryana, Yes seems to be well. I don't
see how you can tell by that little sip.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I like to nurse a drink along last longer. That
way keeps you from drinking too much.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Another one of you hints, it's a thought. Now, just
what did you want to see me about Uncle George?
What are we going to do about him?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Don't see there's anything we can do.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Do you think we can trust his judgment? His health's failing.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
We'll just have to watch him and keep him from
doing anything foolish. But his house is in order. Will's
made out, leaving everything to you and me. We're already
running the business.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I know, but look, you're not touching your drink. Is
anything the matter with it?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I don't get around to it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, I wish you would. I've tried a new remoose.
I want to see how you like it.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
More likely you want to encourage me to be a
topa than I can't lecture it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
No, no, really, I just wanted to excuse me. I'll
be read that.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Hello, I'd like to speak to Brian Sherman. Please speaking
Hello Sherman, This is Mike Wearing.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Oh yes, mister Wearing. What is it?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Something's come up? I may have to be a little late.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
But I was counting on you to be here at
six forty five. I've made all arrangements.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
What arrangements?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh well, I mean I have plans for this evening
and I kind of want to have time to talk
to you.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I see, all right, I'll make it. You're sure if
it's so important, believe me, mister Wearing, it is all
right seeing him? Yes, yes, goodbye Wearing. Do I know him? No?
I don't think so, Ernest, Well, what's it all about?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Nothing that concerns you. You wouldn't be interested.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Well, and now what were you saying about.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Uncle in just a minutes? Well, then I put my
drink here, it is on the table next to mine.
Oh yes, you still haven't touched yours. Good heavens man,
you make such a mind just that.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I why know, I know, I know, I know you've
a moves very well, it'll make you happy. Here's to
a long and prosperous life.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Mister Wearing.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
That's right. Come in. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, I'm Brian Sherman. Sorry I have to be so
insistent about your being on time, but I have a
dinner engagement in a little while, and I don't want
to keep the folks waiting.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Not your dimes, So you call the place.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well, from what I've heard of you, mister Warring. You
don't work for dimes.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
From the look at this place, you can afford more
than dimes. Oh why am I here?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I wanted to see you about my cousin Ernest. He
and I, as far as I know, are the only
heirs to our uncle's estate.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That be George Sherman, the industrialist.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But yes, yes, that's.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Right, definitely not dimes.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
No, no, it's millions, that's why.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
What's the matter?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I don't know, It's just I feel a little funny
all of a sudden. But I'll be all right now.
What was I saying?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
You were telling me about your cousin Ernest.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yes, yes, he was here a little while ago, and
he had a I don't know why I'm getting so
sleep to you, and I'm better get you a shot
of brand that's what That's how it.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It must be Chairman homicide serge in corpaste, Hello, corpet
is Mike wearing? So it's not my lucky day? What
do you want wearing? Not a thing? But there's been
(07:25):
a murder attempt and the people of the state of
New York expect you to do your duty. How come
it's just an attempt? Bumm aim bum timing. It was
a poison job. I barsed in while the victim was
still kicking, took him to a hospital. That's what I'm
calling from. Now. Can he talk? Well, not right now.
They're still manning the stomach pump. But it won't be long.
I'll be right over. I'll stay put wearing. I want
to talk to you too, Sorry, Corbett, I can't wait now.
(07:45):
Was that any way to talk? You want to give
the idea you don't like me like you are? You
are my favorite cop. You know that, Corbett. If I
ever commit a murder, I can't imagine anyone. I'd rather
have a sign to the case. You can go and
go follow up a lead. That's why I have to
rush away. I'll meet your head munching that. Okay, what
can I say? They can say? Okay, so on, Carpett. Yes,
(08:18):
I'd like to see Ernest Sherman please.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I'm sorry he can't see anyone just now.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
It's important.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
He's too upset. He's just received some terrible news about
his cousin.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, that's what I want to see him about.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
What do you know about it?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Not enough? I was hoping your husband could tell me more.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Someone about Brian him, I told him tell him how
to go away, said he didn't want to see anybody.
That's what I love a man, a firm determination. Come in.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Thank you? How do you do some?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I'm Ernest Sherman. I understand you want to see me
about Brian.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Well, I just got a call from the hospital. They
tell me he tried to kill himself.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
They didn't.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
What do you mean are you trying to suggest trying
to find out just what made you come here?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I thought you might help. When's the last time you
saw your cousin? Oh, a couple of days ago? Why?
I don't look now, but there's a liar in the
Sherman family. Don't be impertinent, don't blow your lid. Maybe
Brian's the liar. Eh, he said you saw him today.
When did he tell you that just before he passed out? Oh?
That means you were there. That's right. Well then, mister,
(09:27):
I don't believe you told me your name. I don't
believe I did. It's Mike Wearing. Wearing you're the one
who phoned Brian. Thought you didn't see Brian today? Well,
today is the only time I phoned him. Well, anyway,
you know I left. I wasn't there when you got there.
That's right, So I couldn't have given the poison. Why not?
Some poisons act slowly? They didn't. You know? You still
haven't told me why you came here. Brian wanted to
(09:50):
hire me to check up on you. He was afraid
of you. That's ridiculous. He's in the hospital. I had
nothing to do with it, and I resent your implications.
I'm just doing a job. I don't like the way
you're doing it.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Don't argue with him, Ernest, It's no use. Can't you
see he came here with his mind already made up?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Did I?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
That's obvious if you knew, Ernest, you know he wouldn't
harm a fly.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It's not a fly that's been harmed. Tell me something worrying.
You took Brian to the hospital. That's right. They do.
They think he'll live. Oh you needn't worry. Is that
he'll be all right?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Or is that what worries you?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Hello, Corbett, see I've already ordered. Oh yeah, wearing sitdwan?
Why did you check your lead? Yep? Cousin, Ernest, I
see Brian's been able to toy He figures cousin Ernest
wants him out of the way, and that would leave
Ernest is the only one in line for their uncle's inheritance,
and it runs into a million. Yeah, I know it's
an awful lot of lettuce. Did you get Ernest to
talk through his hat? Yeah, and I'm thinking of booking
(11:01):
him for attempted murder. You think it will hold? Now?
It's a family with influence, Corbett depends upon which cousin
Uncle George desires to string along with. Yeah, but if
we can make him say Ernest is getting itchy for
the dull, maybe what happens, we'll convince him. Anyway, there's
one way to find out. What do you say? We'd
fry him as soon as we finish here. Yes, hello,
(11:32):
and I can speak to mister George Sherman. You are
If you're a reporter, you might as well know. I'm
not a reporter. My name is Mike Wearing. I'm a
private detective. I'm not interested in the services of a detective. Well,
I'm not looking for a client. I already have one.
Then what do you want? Well, if you'll give me
three seconds, I'll tell you very well. I'm waiting your nephew.
Bryan hired me. He was afraid of his cousin nonsin.
(11:54):
Why should Ernest German? Who's that?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It's only me?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Earnest, Ruth. I thought I had the door bolted, I
locked all the windows.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
What's the matter with you?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Didn't you hear what happened to Uncle George? It's on
the radio, yes, But why are you so worried? See
it all now? Brian wasn't supposed to get that poison.
I was fucked. Yes, Brian tried to kill me. He
did kill Uncle George.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
How could Brian kill Uncle George when he's in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
He's been released. That was on the radio too, and
he'd be coming for me to try again. I know
he will.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Well, then go to the police, get them to arrest Brian.
Then he can't hurt you.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Oh, they'll arrest me after all, Ruth, Brian is the
one who was poisoned.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
First. I've got to be able to prove it was
a mistake, can you I think so? For the help
of that fellow wearing.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Then let's call him.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I can't wait here. Brian may come or the police.
I've gotta get away. What are you going to do?
Hide out. Then maybe what's that? What I heard? Something?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I thought you were the man with the iron nerves
a walk every day before breakfast.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
There was something the door I told you.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Shall I see who it is.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Let's be quiet.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Maybe you'll go away.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
He must have heard us and it may be nothing.
Let me find it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Don't open the door. Call all right?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
There?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
You are just who you want it?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Wait a minute, I've got to be sure he's on
my side. Well, how are you going to with this?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I didn't know you owned a gun?
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Now you do give me patient.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Let him in.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I don't like troubles.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
There won't be any. I got to jump on him.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Open the door, all right, but be careful. Come in,
mister Wearing.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Thank you. I just wanted to Well, this is what
I call a warm reception. Sorry, Wearing.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I can't take any chances. I gotta be sure you
know the facts, remember them correctly, and I'm willing to
stand by them.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You sure you want fact? Yes? Facts? Which fact? First?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
You phone Brian today? That's right at quarter to five?
Right again, I was there when you called. You made
a point of that before.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Still no argument. You'll swear to those statements. I've already
told them to the police.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Why we're all right there, just had to be sure
about what facts so I can prove Brian tried to
kill me instead.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Of the other way around.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
But what's the phone call got to do with that.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Brian prepared two drinks, one for him, one for me.
He just served them when the phone call interrupted. We
put down our drinks on the same tray.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And you think they got mixed up?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Must have I got his, he got mine. You buy wearing.
It's possible.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
It's facts, as long as you've given them to the police.
I'm ready to talk to them now.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Good boy, and I'm ready to talk to my client again.
Oh hello, mister worrying. Hello Brian, how a feeling shaky?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Stomach pumps? No fun?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Good one in Thanks? You heard about your uncle.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yes, that's shaking me too.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Police are going to want to talk to you about it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Whoy am me. It would seem obvious after what.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Ernest has an angle that involves you. That's why I'm here.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
He claims the poison was meant for him, You got it?
Buy a mistake? What he claims while you were talking
to me on the phone he picked up the wrong glass.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
But it's a lie.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, somebody's lying. I think I can find out who.
How I wanted to be a little late for my
appointment with you. You said it couldn't be arranged because
you had a dinner date right after. That's right. Who
was the date with?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
What difference does that make?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You passed out while I was here and I took
you to the hospital. Obviously you weren't able to keep
your date, that's right. Whoever the date was with must
have wondered why you didn't show up. But I checked
with the desk downstairs, and nobody phoned this apartment during
the evening.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I don't see that that proves anything.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
It doesn't prove that. It indicates you could have been lying.
I tell you I wasn't, and that was a simple
way to Rubert. Just tell me who your date was with,
if he or she or they confirmed it? All right?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Wearing You took this case for money, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah? Somehow I like to eat.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Champagne and cavire, No mind, how much would it cost
for you to forget that I mentioned at dinner date?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You can forget your caviar, stick to hamburgers.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I'm serious, I'm ready to do business. I'm not well,
then I'll have to figure some other method of persuasion.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Now, don't try reaching for a gun. I'm watching him.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
What makes you think I'd pull a gun?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Thought it might run in the family, also by marriage,
good girl clan.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Well, Brian, we've got him. Now what do we do
with him?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
First of all, I think we do this, oh her
pleasant dreams, Mike.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
That you call? Yeah, come on, come on, come on,
get up. If you get your line, mic h, this
is where you're supposed to say, what hit me?
Speaker 5 (17:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
What hit me? A lamp? We found it on the floor.
If I didn't feel the way I do, i'd make
a crack about Shoot, he's himself again. What brought you here?
The same thing that brought you? Wanted to talk to
Brian Sherman, But him and the mississ are gone. I
find you instead. How about Ernest? Did he tell you
the story? Yeah? It could have happened like he said,
(17:25):
but I'm not taking any chances. I'm holding mo suspicion. Anyway,
you might as well let him go after what happened
up here? Did happen up here? Looks like Brian and
his wife made a play for time. I guess they
wanted me out of the running until they had time
to whip up a dinner date for Brian. Dinner day.
It's the middle of the night. I know this was
for earlier this evening. You better be careful, wearing. If
(17:45):
you keep on getting cracked on the skull. One of
these days you're going to start talking sense homicide Sergeant
Corbett speaking, Oh you did? Huh? Bring them in right away? Right? Solong?
(18:11):
Well worrying. A couple of boys just picked up Brian
and his wife Claire. Good. Yeah, Now that I let
Ernest go, I gotta hold somebody. Are you going to
book them? None of the Shenanigans prove they killed Uncle George. Well,
I can hold them on a tempted murder. Hey wait,
they clouded me with a lamp. You might hold them
on a salt and battery, but it was hardly attempted murder. Oh,
I'm talking about cousin Ernest. What about it. We're agreed
(18:33):
he didn't try to give Brian the poison. That's right. Well,
then the stands the reason Brian must have tried to
give it to Ernest, And in my book, that's a
tempted murder, and it's just a step from there to
knocking off Uncle George. Well, I had to spoil the fun, Corbett.
But Brian didn't try to kill Ernest. What I said?
You said Ernest didn't try to kill Brian. And now
you say Brian didn't try to kill Ernest. That's right. Well,
then where in the blazer did the poison come from
(18:55):
from Brian? But you just said I said he didn't
mean it for Ernest, But then who did he mean
it for? For the person who got it himself? What
you mean suicide attempt? No, Corbett wasn't suicide either.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
No, great, great, I got to admit wearing. Now I'm
completely confused. Well, I've got news for you, corvitt on
you it looks natural.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Now back to the Adventures of the Falcon. Twenty minutes
have passed since the Falcon said, Corbett's head spinning with
a tangled turn of events, and Corbett is still spinning
as he and Mike race in the squad car toward
cousin Ernest's wearing. Yes, Corbett, Brian Sherman was poisoned. That's right,
But it wasn't a mistake. No, and it wasn't attempted suicide. No,
(19:47):
and cousin Ernest didn't do it. Uh huh, well then
how could oh never mind? Why should I give you
the satisfaction of playing straight? You fit the role so beautifully, Corbett,
only if Brian did it. At I don't see why
we're going to Ernest, especially since you just had me
release Earnest. Well, these new developmentws developments. You can take
(20:07):
the new developments and salve a case with them. Now,
look you see it's like this Corbett's Brian wanted to
get his rubby little paws on all of Uncle George's money.
So we rigged up this poison act, knowing the poison
would act slowly, and I but in on him in
time to get him to hospital. Oh that's why he
was so determined that you had to be on time,
Right you are, Corbett? How'd you figure it? Oh? Simple?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I listened to a program called The Falcon Flatterer. Oh
I don't like it. I just listened anyway. Wearing now
I begin to understand Brian's monkey shine.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Sure he canted on me to save him in time,
but it would still look like Ernest to try to
kill him and that might lead Uncle George disinhurt. Ernest
all right wearing. That takes care of the poison attempt.
But we still got to find a murder by George Corbet.
We still got to find a murderer. My uncle George
(21:00):
right down on the end of the car to Corvid.
I know, Hey, yeah, come on, we'll have to break
in the door. Yeah you're ready, come on, one, two, three. Hey,
it's a heavy one. We'll have to try it again. No, wait,
like someone's coming. Yeah there, Sergeant Carbet, all right, Sargant,
(21:22):
just a minute. Way you pounded on that door. I
thought you were trying to knock it down. I heard
your wife screaming, Ruth.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Not is it?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Where is she?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Ruth?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Come here a minute? Will you come in jail? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Hello?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Sagean Covid and mister Waring Ruth.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
These gentlemen have the idea that you were screaming just now.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I why would I.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
That's what we want to find out. They're both trying
to do a nice cover up, but it won't work. Look, Corbett,
there's a swelling under her eye and it's coming up fast.
Ten Bucks says it's a first class shiner in ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Well, I bumped it, sure.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Ernest, Next time you slug your wife do it. Word
won't show? But I didn't. Won't you believe that?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But what reasonably? Why do you guess the truth and
we're trying to force a confession out of her? Truth?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
What truth?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That she killed Uncle George? What did you say, Wearing,
Ruth sherman killed Uncle Jeorge.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
That's absurd.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I don't think so, Ruth. In the family of Heels,
you're the champion by a long shot, all right, Wearing,
how did you know Ruth? Was it killer? Oh Corbett?
I knew no one of the family would want to
commit the murder at this time. Right when the apparent
(22:40):
attempt on Brian at the police's attention turned on the
family was still it was done at this time, which
meant the murderer couldn't help himself or herself. There was
no choice, And as soon as I knew the murderer
was forced, I knew it had to be either Ernest
or Ruth. Why O'Brien wanted to look as if he'd
been poisoned by Ernest. If his bluff worked, Uncle George
might change his will hurting Ernest. So Ruther Ernest have
(23:02):
to get rid of him quick before he can change
the will. Okay, but Ernest couldn't do it. He was
afraid of being accused of attempted murder against Brian. If
he couldn't clear himself of that charge, killing Uncle George
would only put him in a worse spot. He'd be
the most likely suspect. Now. It's only art was to
try to prove he didn't poison Brian, which Lee's Ruth
is the only one to gain by killing Uncle George,
(23:22):
or so she thought, Yeah, well that does it? Wearing? Uh,
you're wearing. I can't help wondering just what you'd do
without me? Oh, I solved the case and he said no, no,
I mean it. What would you do if I didn't
ask you? How did you know? So you can pop
your best button showing how smart you are. Oh, I
(23:43):
suppose i'd be popping off to a cute little redhead
instead of a ball flat foot. In fact, that sounds
like a pretty good idea, So good night, Corbett.
