for this week's episode of Mister Chameleon. The original aired
(01:11):
eight November second, nineteen forty nine, and the title is
the Murder Clue of the Carved Gold Ring.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Next Mister Chameleon and the Wedding Ring Murder Case. Tonight
(01:53):
we again present the famous Mister Chameleon of Central Police
Headquarters in his famous Cases of crime and brought to
you by the makers of Genuine bay or Aspirin. Mister Cameleon,
as you know, is the famous and dreaded detective who
frequently uses a disguise to track down a killer, a
disguise which at all times is recognized by the audience.
(02:16):
Tonight we give you, mister cameleon. In the Wedding Ring
murder case, our story opens during the quiet hours of
early afternoon, not a time which is ordinarily associated with violence,
(02:37):
but in the luxurious apartment of Claude Langley, a young
attractive woman stands, dazed and horrified, staring down at the
grisly object on the living room floor and saying.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Claude claud who, No, he's dead. I must get out
of here. I must get out quickly.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
But no, and.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Not until I find the ring. It must be here, somewhere.
It has to be here. I can't leave until I
find that ring.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Mary Ward, what are you doing here?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Hour?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
When did you come in? I found the front door
and latched. What are you doing in my apartment? God, darling,
horra please madder? And you did it? Mary? You stabbed him?
You killed my husband? No, no, or no.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
I was in my living room and I thought I
heard someone screaming.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Mister, my husband's been murdered. This woman here murdered him.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Good heavens, I'll call the police. Missus Langley, and you,
whoever you are, don't try to get away.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And a short time later, mister Camellion, the astute and
ready detective, is in the Langley apartment with Detective Dave Arnold,
and he is saying to the three white faced people
who sit facing him.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
One of the time plays don't all talk at once.
And Missus Langley, you first tell me what happened. Now
you say that you returned here to your apartment and
found your husband murdered. Now where have you been.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I was out shopping, mister commedian.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Well, Missus Langley, at the.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
Regent Dress Shop. I bought that dinner dress in the
box over there, and I came home. I found my
front door and latched, walked in to find Claude, my
husband dead, and Mary Ward going through his death.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
But I didn't kill it.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
You'll have your chance to tell your story in just
a moment. Mary Ward, Dave, have you removed the knife
from the body.
Speaker 9 (04:53):
Yes, mister commedian, we'll go over it for fingerprints.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Ryan and Missus Langley, what makes you so sure that
it was Mary Ward who killed your husband, aside from
the fact that you've found her hair in your apartment. Oh, incidentally,
are you good friends?
Speaker 8 (05:06):
Mary's no friend of mine, mister comedian And she murdered Claude,
my husband, because she was madly in love with him,
and he'd have none of it. He warned her to
keep away from him. That's not true, or mister comedian.
Mary met my husband through her own husband down and
she proceeded to fall in love with him.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
She made his life miserable.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Missus Langlen, it's my duty to ask unpleasant questions, and
I must ask you this one. Didn't your husband encourage
Mary Ward at all.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
Mister Camellian, It's quite true. He had a mild flirtation
with Mary, but Claude loved me. When it ceased to
be a mild flirtation, he told Mary it.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
Had to stop, and she came here and killed him.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
No, mister Camellian, I didn't kill Claude. He was dead
when I got here. I found the door on latch too,
and when I walked in there he was with the
knife in his chest.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
But there was no one else in the apartment.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Why no, I I don't.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Suppose there was, Missus Langlen. Will you swear that the
situation between your husband and Mary Ward here was exactly
the way you described it?
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Of course, I will, all our friends will back me up,
mister COMMI everyone was gossiping about Mary.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
She was crazy about poor Claude.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Thank you, mister Lott. I suppose you give me your
version of what happened. It's very simple, mister comedian. I
have the apartment next door to the Langleys. I heard
Missus Langley scream and I rushed in, and here they
were Mary Ward and Missus Langley and mister Langley's body
on the floor. Well did you hear any noise in
this apartment, mister Lott before Missus Langley screamed? Why no,
(06:39):
mister comedian, you hesitated.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Why Well, I heard no noise, but about half an
hour earlier I saw Mary Ward entering the apartment.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
You didn't, mister Lott. You never saw me come in,
not half an hour before you heard Ara scream.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Oh yes I did, Missus Ward. I opened my door
to get the afternoon paper, which is always left in
the hall, around two, and I saw you going through
the door of the Langley apartment. I presume mister Langley
let you in.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And I say, that's a lie, It's a wicked lie.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Try to calm yourself, Mary Ward. Now there's no use
denying that you were here in the Langley apartment. What
were you doing here? Why did you come? Belansomie? Please like.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I came to get my ring, mister comedian. Claude had
phoned me. He said his wife Aura was out shopping
and he'd be here alone.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So I came to get my ring.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
What ring? My wedding ring, Missus Wood. You mean Claude
Langley had your wedding ring.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
That's absurd, mister Comedion. What would my husband be doing
with Mary's wedding?
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Oh please, Missus Langley, it's Mary Wad's turn. Now tell
me about it, Missus wadd please give me the whole story.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Well, I I did meet Claude through my husband Dona.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Met him at a dinner party. He was there without
his wife.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Mister commedian, please, Missus Langley, I want to hear Missus
Ward out to the end. Go on, Missus Ward. Did
you meet Claude Langley again? Later?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Yes, mister Camellion, My husband down was out of town
on business. Claude asked me to have luncheon later cocktails.
It It was a mild flirtation, but that was all,
and I was sorry for him. Why he finally told
me about Aura, he said, but I'd rather not repeat it.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
I'm sorry you must, missus wad this is murder and
we cannot consider anyone's feelings. What did Claude Langley tell
you that.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
He was very unhappy that Aura had married him for
his money, that all she cared about was getting her
hands on that money.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Oh now, really, go on, missus Wanan. What about your
wedding ring?
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Well, my wedding ring, mister comedian, is very unusual. It's
a carved gold ring. I value it highly.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Yet you gave it to Claude Langley.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
No, no, no, you see, I haven't been well. I
lost a lot of wadeon and the wedding ring loose
on my finger. Oh one day at luncheon it slipped off,
and Claude offered to get it fixed, have it made smaller.
It was a very unusual leaf design.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
You mean it wouldn't be as easy to make smaller
as a plain wedding ring.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Yes, yes, that's right, mister comedian. And Claude said he
knew a clever jeweler who could make it smaller.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
And then then I gave it to him. Extraordinary thing
for a married woman to give another man her wedding ring.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Well, anyway, I gave it to Claude to have it
made smaller, and Claude refused to give it back. Mister comedian,
he held it over my head as a constant threat.
He tried to make me leave Don, my husband, and
go with him, and he said if I didn't go
with him, he'd tell Don I'd given him the ring
as a token.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Of my affection. Did you tell your husband about this?
Speaker 10 (09:46):
No?
Speaker 5 (09:46):
I was afraid to, mister Camellon. I love Don, but
he's insanely jealous. I was afraid of what he'd do.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
I see h What is your husband's business phone number?
Missus Wood?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Why Butterfield eight nine nine seven, Oh.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Yes, mister Commerdian, and call that number please. I want
to speak to Don Ward.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Okay, sir, But mister Comelion, what for? I mean, why
do you want to speak to my husband?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
I want to check on his whereabouts at the time
of claud Langley's murder.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
But mister Camellion, my husband Don is a salesman for
a brokerage for him. I I'm sure he'll be out
calling on customers. I'm sure of it.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
How can you be so sure that he won't be in,
Missus Ward, unless you know that he isn't in.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Well, of course I don't know.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
And another thing, you say that you've lost weight. Just
how much weight did you lose.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Missus wadd about ten pounds.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Hardly enough to make a ring slip off your finger. Also,
you say you last week because of illness. Well, is
it not possible that you are trying to lose weight,
Missus Ward, in order to be more attractive to Claude Langley.
That is one of the first things a woman does,
you know, and she wants to attract a man to
slim down a bit.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
No, mister Comelion, I cared nothing.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
For clause common.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Yes, Dave you get Downward on the phone.
Speaker 9 (10:53):
No, sir, His secretary says he hasn't been in since none.
She thought he went out to meet his wife for a.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
But you did not meet him for luncheon, did you,
missus wad No, mister Camelion, I tell you don was
out seeing customers, or he might have been here in
the Langley apartment between twelve and two.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Mister comedian, I just thought of something, yes, mister Lott,
About half an hour before I saw missus Ward in
the hall. I was coming in and I saw a
man ringing Claude Langley's bill, A very tall man with
reddish hair.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
With reddish hair, Missus Ward, does that describe your husband?
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yes, it does, mister Camellon, But I swear neither Don
nor I murdered Claude Langley.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Well, someone did, Missus wad and I intend to find
that someone. Dave search this apartment thoroughly for Missus Ward's
carved gold wedding risk. Sure, Missus Langley, I want you
and Marvin Lott to go to Central Police Headquarters to
sign a deposition telling how you found the body with
Missus Ward in the room. And what about me you,
Missus Waughan. Well, for the present, I haven't quite enough
(11:54):
evidence to hold you for murder, but I may get
in touch with you later in the day after I've
had a talk with your husband.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And a little later we find mister Camellion in Don
Ward's office and you're saying to Don Ward, who has
just risen to his feet.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Are you doing mister Ward? I'm Comedian of Central Police Headquarters.
I've come to talk to you about the murder of
Claude Langlen Claude Langley.
Speaker 11 (12:28):
Claude murdered.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
You don't seem too surprised. Are Your voice is surprised,
but your eyes are not.
Speaker 11 (12:34):
Now look here, mister commitedian.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
He was stabbed to death between twelve and two this afternoon.
Where were you at that time? I er? I was out,
I know that, But just where, mister Wad, I was
just walking around. Have you talked to my wife Mary?
I have. She was in the room with Claude Langley's body.
Missus Langley found her there.
Speaker 11 (12:56):
Mister Comellion, If you mean my wife Mary murdered Claude,
I don't believe it. I love Mary. She's not capable
of killing any one.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
But then if your love her, mister Ward, tell me
the whole truth. Where were you at the time of
Claude Langley's death?
Speaker 11 (13:08):
I can't tell you. I can't tell you.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Is that your final word? Yes, mister comedian, that's my
final word. Very well, mister Ward. If you refuse to
co operate, there's nothing more that I can do at
the moment. I shall be seeing you and your wife
again later I want to question you both further. Good Bye,
mister Watt.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
Hello, Hello don Is, mister Camellion the detective.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
There, No, Mary, he just left. Mary, listen, did you
tell him I knew about your wedding ring? Did you
tell him you told me only this morning that Claude
had the ring?
Speaker 10 (13:46):
No, Don, I didn't. Something stopped me, Oh, Darling.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
I'm so afraid, so am I.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
But when he questioned me, I refused to say much.
I wanted to talk to you first. Mary. Can we
say that we had luncheon together?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
No, Don, that won't work. Mister Camellian knows that we didn't.
And besides, I was seen at lunch at Marto's to
day by a dozen people who know us.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
Then let's say we met right after lunch at some
place as far as possible from a Langley apartment. We've
got to have an alibi, marry both of us, and
if we stick to our story, there's nothing they can
do about it.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And a little later, at Central Headquarters, in the office
of the Commissioner of Police, we find mister Camellian talking
to the Commissioner.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
I quite agree with you, Commissioner. Mary Ward's story is
a very strange man. Indeed, so far, no trace has
been fond of her carved gold wedding ring, which she
says she was trying to get back from the murdered men.
She may have made it all up. There's no telling,
not yet.
Speaker 11 (14:50):
But Camellion, what about her husband, Don Ward?
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
He was so penny stricken he get hardly talk. If
only I could find the ring, I feel it's the
key to everything. Mm oh, it's probably for me, Commissioner.
I called the manager of the Region dress shop where
Claude Langley's widow, Orda said she bought a dress today.
Comeleon speaking, mister Comellion, this.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
Is Missus Arthur of the Regent Dress Shop. I understand
you called me.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Ah, yes, Missus Arthur. Have you a customer named Donna Langley?
Speaker 10 (15:17):
Indeed we do. She has a charge account here.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Did she buy a dinner dress in your shop today?
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Why?
Speaker 9 (15:23):
No?
Speaker 10 (15:24):
She bought a dinner dress here two days ago.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
But not today. Was she in your shop at all today?
Speaker 10 (15:29):
No, mister comedian, and I would have known. I always
wait on him myself.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Your positive, Missus Langley was not in your shop at
all today.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
Yes, mister Comedian, I'm absolutely positive.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Thank you, Missus Arthur. Commissioner Orda Langley was lying too.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Oh, she was mm hmm.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
She told me that at the time her husband was murdered,
she'd been out shopping. She'd bought a dinner dress at
the Regent Dress Shop. It seems she didn't go near
the Regent Dress Shop. Today, missus Langley is in my
office with Marvin Lott. I think I'd better step in
there right now and ask the lady why she lieder.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Mister Camellion and the wedding ring murder case continues in
just a moment. A very important thing to know about
genuine Bayer aspirin is that its single active ingredient is
so gentle to the system. Mothers give it even to
small children on their doctor's advice. Always remember this because
it means that when you have an ordinary headache, neurtic
(16:33):
or neuuralgic pain, you can take Bayer aspirin with complete confidence.
For Bayer aspirin gives you more than fast relief, it
also gives you the dependable relief that's important to your health.
Bayer aspirin speed is proved by the fact that it's
actually ready to go to work in two seconds, and
its dependability is proved by the fact that no other
pain reliever can match its record of use by millions
(16:55):
of normal people without ill effect. So don't experiment when
you are in pain. Don't risk using drugs that have
not stood the test of time. Instead, youse something that
millions know from experience is fast and completely dependable too,
genuine Bayer aspirin. And when you buy, ask for it
by its full name, Bayer Aspirin, not just for aspirin alone.
(17:17):
Get the one hundred tablet bottle and you get Bayer
aspirin tablets for less than a penny apiece. And now
back to mister Camellion and the wedding Ring murder case.
Claude Langley's murder has resulted in conflicting stories from Mary Ward,
(17:39):
who admitted she had a flirtation with Claude, and from
his widow Aur and from mary Ward's husband Dawn. And
now in mister Camellion's office we find him confronting or
A Langley while Marvin Lott, her neighbor, looks on with interest,
and Camellion is saying.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
Missus Langley, you did not tell me the truth. You
said you are shopping at the time of your husband's murder.
You said you bought a dinner dress at the Region
Dress Shop.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I did, mister Commedion.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
The manager of the shop says that you did not.
You bought that dress two days ago.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Well, she's crazy. I was in there at one o'clock shop.
I remember because I looked at the clock on the walls.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Is Langley. The manager would testify against you in court.
It might go badly for you. So I advise you
to tell me the truth.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I'm trying to, mister Commedian, but you make it so difficult.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
You did not go to the Region Dress Shop.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
All right, I didn't, but I intended to.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
What do you mean?
Speaker 8 (18:35):
I was taking the dress back because I didn't really
like it. I left my apartment about a quarter to one.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Mister Lott, Could you verify this statement of missus Langley?
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Why no, mister Cammillion, I'm afraid I couldn't. I live
in the apartment next door, to be sure, but I
don't always hear people going in and out.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Yet you saw Don Ward ringing the Langley doorbell. Later
you saw Mary Ward going in, but you did not
see Missus Langley leave or return.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
No, mister comedian, And what does that prove?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
You lied about the dress, Missus Langley.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Whatever I did on the spur of the moment, you
surely don't think I murdered my husband.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
You couldn't think that, mister Capelia.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
You inherited his money. He told mary Ward that you
married him for his money.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
He did not. I loved Claude. I'm completely innocent of
his death. You have no right to accuse an innocent.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Person, Missus Langlen. Do you see that motto over my desk?
The innocent must be protected the guild. They must be punished.
But sometimes the innocent make it hard for us to
protect them because they lie in a mistaken effort to
protect themselves.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Well, I'm not lie, Missus Langley. You shouldn't get so
panic stricken.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I'm not panic stricken, mister Lott. And you'll keep out
of this.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Sorry, all right, Missus Langley. It's all I have to
say for now. You may go.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Oh and uh you too, mister Lott. Thank you, mister comedian.
If you need me further, don't hesitate to call on me.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
I will, mister lot that's for you. Missus Langley. I
am sorry that I upset you, but my only interest
is in finding your husband's murderer.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
And if you do, mister Commedion, you'll find it's not
I You.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Almost sound as if you knew who it was, Missus Langley.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I should think it was pretty obvious.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
You never found Mary Ward's gold wedding ring, did you?
So you know that she was lying when she said, Claude,
my husband had it good.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Bye, Dave.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
Yes, mister Commellion boy, Missus Langley certainly left an estate,
didn't she.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Everyone concerned seems to get all worked up, and the
lies are accumulating so fast it isn't funny.
Speaker 9 (20:42):
Sometimes people lie because they are scared. Mister Comellion, you'll
know from past experience how many innocent people lie.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Yes, I do, Dave. It's exactly the theory I'm proceeding on.
And I'm also returning to Don Ward's obvious.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
To search for his wife's wedding ring.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Exactly, Dave. But I'm going there, yeah, disguised as a
telephone repair man, not too bright guy named Pete Little.
Everything hangs on that carved gold wording thing. I've got
to find it, Dave. I've got to get my hands
on it.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And so a little later we find mister Cameleon in
his disguise as the telephone repairman Pete Little, And while
Detective Dave Arnold waits outside, keeping well out of sight,
Cameleon knocks on Don Ward's office door and waits. Then
he speaks in the voice of his disguise when the
door opens.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
That's mister Ward's office, mister Don Wooden.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Why yes, mister Ward isn't here just now.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
At no matter? And the telephone repair man is phone
ain't working?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Well, did you speak to his secretary?
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Ain't you a secretary?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
No, I'm his wife. That's his secretary's office over there.
This is mister Ward's private entrance.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Well, just as long as it's the door I can
walk through. I gotta fix the phone. Look, lady, I'm
coming in.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Well, I guess it's all right.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Sure, it's all right. Why wouldn't it be all right
when the phone's out of order? You fix it?
Speaker 10 (22:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Better move this typewriter over to the table.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Gives me more room.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
Oh, hello, Mary, did I keep you waiting? Who's this man?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
He's the telephone repair man.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
Don what you I come to fix the telephone?
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Well, there's nothing wrong with my telephone. I didn't send
for any repair man.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Are you nuts?
Speaker 11 (22:42):
No, I didn't send for you. I don't know who
you are, what you want?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
But get out?
Speaker 7 (22:46):
What are you so excited about?
Speaker 11 (22:48):
Because I didn't send for you. I don't want you here.
Now get out, get out, or I'll throw you out.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Okay, okay, I think you're nuts.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
I don't care what you think. I said. I'd throw
you out and I will.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Must look at me, look at your billy, who might
what to tempt you here, mister Ward, and you're strung
as a ball. Mister commedian, you are right, yes, dame,
except for a few black and blue marks on my arm.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
Just let me go on.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
They mustn't know that I was a comedian. We better
get out of sight quick day. Besides, I found out
what I want to know. Now. All you have to
do is to go down to city Hall. City Hall, Yes,
city Hall. I have some research work for you to do, Dave,
and then we'll be ready for the next step. I
think I'll call a little conference of everyone involved. I
(23:39):
go to telephone Marvin a Lot and ask him if
we can use his apartment. These women are so hysterical.
I don't want to take them back to the murder scene,
you sure are riding high.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
And that evening we find mister Cameleon relaxing in an
easy chair in Marvin Lott's apartment, But the four other
people sitting there are anything but relaxed, with the exception
of Marvin Lott, and we hear Ora Langley saying, but.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
Mister Camellion, I don't quite understand why did you gather
us together in mister Lott's apartment.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
Well, mister Lott doesn't mind, do you, Miss Lott, not
at all?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
But I'm rather curious.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
So am i?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Mister Comeleion, Yes I am too.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Well, I'll tell you Missus Ward and mister Wodd, and
this applies to you too. Missus Langley. You've all of
you proven so very excitable that I thought it best
to hold this little conference here close to the murdercy
and yet not actually on the spot because of the
emotional impact.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
You're very considered of us all of a sudden, mister comedian,
are you sure that's your only reason for coming here
to this apartment?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
I believe you know the answer to that one, Missus Langlen,
what do you mean? I mean? I did have a
second reason for bringing you here, as you know.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
Mister comedian, get to the point. What's this all about.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yes, you've no right to torture us.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
I'm not trying to torture Missus Ward. And a few
minutes anxiety you're all suffering now is nothing compared to
Claude Langley's brutal stabbing. But Missus Ward, wouldn't you say
that your carved gold wedding ring was important, the ring
that you insist Claude Langley was holding. Why, yes, well,
I've been tipped off that that missing wedding ring is
here in this apartment.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
What here in my apartment? You're joking, mister Camedie.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
No, mister Lott, I was tipped off that i'd find
Missus Ward's carved gold wedding ring in that Dresden vase
on your mentor.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Well, that's ridiculous. There's no ring there.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Suppose I look and see, mister Lott, don't try to
stop me. Detective Donald is standing right behind you.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
That's right, mister Lott, stay where you are.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
But there's no ring in that vase.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
You're mistaken, mister Lott. Here it is in the vase,
just as my informant told me. What missus Ward. This
is your carved gold wedding ring, isn't it? Yes, mister Camellion,
mister wad you recognize your wife's wedding ring?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Well, mister Lott, what do you have to say?
Speaker 6 (25:58):
It's a frame up, a dirty frame up here.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
As the ring, mister Lott, how did it get hair
in your apartment?
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I tell you it's a frame up. Mister comedian? Who
told you? Was there? Answer me? Who told you?
Speaker 11 (26:07):
Don't you know?
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Yes? I do. It was you, Aura, It was you,
wasn't it?
Speaker 10 (26:12):
You?
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Double crossing cheat Marvin. You got your suffered a spot
by lying about that dress. You were scared of death.
I know, I know. I saw you in mister Comedian's office,
so you planted the ring on me to save your
own neck. I'll kill you for that, No you won't.
I've got you, double crossing Cheataura, you murderous shut.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I didn't kill Claude. It was you, Marvin, you.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
Or perhaps both of you together, mister and missus Lott.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
What?
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Yes, I know that you two are man and wife.
We found a record of your marriage to Marvin Lott.
Ten years ago later, you Aura married Claude Langley, Bigamousley.
You must have, since there is no record of a
divorce from Marvin Lott. You married Claude Langley and you
killed him for his money. You plunged the knife into
his heart.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
But I didn't. It was Marvin. I testifying part it
with Marvin.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
I'll testify with you, Aora, who planned the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
That should wrap it up very neatly. The two of
you planned to murder Claude Langley for his money, and
when you learned that Claude had Mary Ward's wedding ring,
you saw the perfect chance to pin the murder on
her or her husband. But mister Camellion, yes, mister wad
Mary's wedding ring? How did it get here in Lot's apartment?
When I found it, of course, in your office, mister Ward,
hidden in the typewriter, I thought that's where it was.
(27:26):
You hovered so anxiously over that typewriter the first time
I saw you. You had paid a visit to Claude
Langley too, mister Ward, the day of the murder, and
got the ring, and then you were panicky, lost your
head and lied. No one tipped me off that the
ring was here in Lot's apartment. It was I who
planted it here in order to catch Claude Langley's killer.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
And with these words, mister Amelion concludes tonight's murder case.
If you've ever had difficulty giving your children the proper
dosage of aspirin is prescribed by your doctor, you'll be
(28:19):
glad to know you can now get genuine Bayer aspirin
in a new children's size tablet. These new tablets contain
half the amount of the regular size Bayer aspirin tablets,
and with them you can conveniently give your child the
dosage your doctor wants him to have. Yes, and they're
made so easy that they can be broken right in
half whenever still smaller dosages are required. In addition, they're
(28:41):
neither colored nor flavored, and hence cannot be mistaken for candy,
and they may be used with complete confidence. For the
fact that doctors prescribe Bayar aspirin's single active ingredient, even
for the smallest children, shows how gentle and dependable it is.
The bottle and carton are plainly marked Children's size Bayer
Aspirin thirty tablets for twenty five cents. Listen next Wednesday
(29:29):
Night at the same time for mister Cameleon, the man
of Many Faces in the Stolen Melody Murder Case. The
part of mister Comeleion is played by Carl Swinson, with
dialogue by Marie Baumer from the original story by Frank
and Anne hummerd music directed by Victor Arden.
Speaker 11 (29:50):
Your announcer is Howard Claney.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
Millions. Tooth decay means suffering, worry expense. But now, thanks
to a remarkable scientific discovery, you can actually cut down
tooth decay simply by using you ammoniated Doctor Lion's tooth powder.
Based on a formula developed by University of Illinois scientists.
It actually destroys bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus, which cause tooth decay.
(30:23):
As a result, dentists by the thousands recommend this type detifice.
So to cut down tooth decay. To have sounder, healthier,
handsomer teeth, use ammoniated Doctor Lion's tooth powder. Both regular
Doctor Lion's Toothpowder and new ammoniated Doctor Lions are all
drug and toilet goods counters.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Listen formist to Chameleon in the Stolen Melody Murder Case
next Wednesday night. At this time this is CBS the
Columbia Broadcasting System Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I suspected the upstairs neighbor from pretty much the start.
He just seemed to be a little bit too helpful
to the police, particularly when he was providing damning evidence,
but then at other times he would be conveniently unaware
or I'm not able to say. Plus, the fact that
(31:41):
his testimony contradicted her and her husband meant that either
he was the killer or they were, and I thought
he made more sense with the way this series worked.
Of course, the detail of him being secretly married to
the supposed wife of the murdered man and her being
(32:05):
a big mess seems a bit unnecessary for this case.
It doesn't really add to the plot. On one hand,
it did make it easy for the police to associate
them and explain why it was that Chameleon knew that
they were connected. On the other, it seems that they
committed big and both lived in the same apartment under
(32:29):
their right name, though she obviously married the murder victim
with her maiden name. You kind of expect one of
them to take on a pseudonym for their own protection.
But then again, they are mister Cameleian villain so what
are you gonna do? All right, Well, now let's go
ahead and talk a bit about the plan for Thursdays
(32:52):
in the coming season. As I talked about Mister and Missus,
North is going to come to Thursdays as we put
a pause on Mister Chameleon for a while, and that
will actually be the final series in the line of
Thursday shows that began with Sherlock Holmes back in season one.
(33:17):
At that point, we will have great Detectives Monday through Friday,
and my plan right now is to move Dragnet from
Saturday to Thursday. I've toyed with the idea of having
Dragnet on Friday, so we could have Fridays with Friday,
(33:39):
but Friday has been the Johnny Dollar spot for the
past fifteen years and I don't see a reason to
change that. And then on Saturday, we will have an
old time radio adventure series. I had really hoped that
I'd be able to bring you Bold Venture with Humphrey
Bogart and Lorne Becall, but there has been a situation
(34:05):
where Carl Lamari formed a group to license the transcriptions
of Bold Venture and purchased a set of all seventy
eight episodes, including many that were not in circulation, and
so he set those out to the group that contributed
(34:29):
to the GoFundMe effort to purchase those transcription desks. The
way that he has phrased this particular license claim puts
me in a situation where I don't feel comfortable at
this point presenting bold Venture, even if I use Internet
files that are in no way connected to the discy purchase.
(34:53):
So instead we will probably be bringing you counter Spy
that will be played on Saturday, and we will have
it on the Great Detectives feed for a while as
long as we are playing kind of detective adjacent adventure programs,
and then hopefully that grows to enough point where it's
(35:15):
its own thing and no longer on that feed and
it's entirely separate feed, which of course will also be
sitting up at the same time.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Some of the.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Series that we will end up playing will include things
like Voyage of the Scarlet Queen, Cloak and Dagger, Secret
Agent K seven Returns, and there are more series that
I'll end up considering. There are some that are not
detective adjacent, which we obviously won't play here and be
(35:46):
past the point where it gets to its own feed
things like the Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel. With the
Adventure podcast, I also am aiming to have two episodes
per week. One episode would feature an adult adventure program
(36:06):
and the other would feature a juvenile adventure program. I
think that there are some pretty high quality juvenile adventure
programs there, not for everyone, but kind of lack with
great detectives where I play all different types of detective programs.
With the old time radio adventures, I'd like to feature
(36:30):
all sorts of adventure programs and listeners can just listen
to the ones they like. So that is going to
be coming up again quite a few months off. We've
got a few weeks more Mister Chameleon and several months
more of Mister and Missus North, although I might launch
(36:52):
the Adventure podcast with the juvenile programs while we're still
waiting to finish up Mister and Missus North. All right, well,
now we turn to listener comments and feedback, and have
a comment from YouTube Kim rits this new yawker still
(37:14):
trying to get used to the narrator's accent. Bless him.
Thank you, Kim, appreciate your effort on that and then
comment from Maria, thanks for posting this new black and
white classic etective series, which are my old favorite episodes
which I'll not miss in the world. Well, thank you
(37:36):
so much, Maria. And that's of course a reference to
the thumbnails that we use on YouTube, which quite often
are in black and white, which I think you know
does serve our channel pretty well. All right, Well, now

heard you've made a trip over here for nothing then,
Yet you see.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
My husband ered when he identified that body as being
our daughters.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
It couldn't possibly have been.
Speaker 7 (38:47):
Well, I know you're glad of that, missus Mason, but
what made mister Mason change his mind? I haven't changed
the dollar, Georgia.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
I thought you were going to stay in your room.
Speaker 11 (38:57):
Never mind Dollar.
Speaker 7 (38:58):
Any questions you want to ask, Scout's right answer?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Why George Mason?
Speaker 11 (39:03):
Think you only enough to take the bad taste out
of my mouth? And you know what put it there?
Oh dog, lookstone mixed up, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I tried going along with you, but I got two
weeks of stomach so here I am.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
I didn't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
Oh listen, Dollar.
Speaker 11 (39:17):
Soon as they found out that girl had been murdered,
my wife here decided it couldn't.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
Have been dollars isn't dollar?
Speaker 3 (39:22):
And you know it.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Only thing I know is that you've got a set
idea good proper people don't die nowhere else but in bed.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime.

for this week's episode of Mister Chameleon. The original aired
(01:11):
eight November second, nineteen forty nine, and the title is
the Murder Clue of the Carved Gold Ring.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Next Mister Chameleon and the Wedding Ring Murder Case. Tonight
(01:53):
we again present the famous Mister Chameleon of Central Police
Headquarters in his famous Cases of crime and brought to
you by the makers of Genuine bay or Aspirin. Mister Cameleon,
as you know, is the famous and dreaded detective who
frequently uses a disguise to track down a killer, a
disguise which at all times is recognized by the audience.
(02:16):
Tonight we give you, mister cameleon. In the Wedding Ring
murder case, our story opens during the quiet hours of
early afternoon, not a time which is ordinarily associated with violence,
(02:37):
but in the luxurious apartment of Claude Langley, a young
attractive woman stands, dazed and horrified, staring down at the
grisly object on the living room floor and saying.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Claude claud who, No, he's dead. I must get out
of here. I must get out quickly.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
But no, and.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Not until I find the ring. It must be here, somewhere.
It has to be here. I can't leave until I
find that ring.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Mary Ward, what are you doing here?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Hour?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
When did you come in? I found the front door
and latched. What are you doing in my apartment? God, darling,
horra please madder? And you did it? Mary? You stabbed him?
You killed my husband? No, no, or no.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
I was in my living room and I thought I
heard someone screaming.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Mister, my husband's been murdered. This woman here murdered him.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Good heavens, I'll call the police. Missus Langley, and you,
whoever you are, don't try to get away.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And a short time later, mister Camellion, the astute and
ready detective, is in the Langley apartment with Detective Dave Arnold,
and he is saying to the three white faced people
who sit facing him.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
One of the time plays don't all talk at once.
And Missus Langley, you first tell me what happened. Now
you say that you returned here to your apartment and
found your husband murdered. Now where have you been.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I was out shopping, mister commedian.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Well, Missus Langley, at the.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
Regent Dress Shop. I bought that dinner dress in the
box over there, and I came home. I found my
front door and latched, walked in to find Claude, my
husband dead, and Mary Ward going through his death.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
But I didn't kill it.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
You'll have your chance to tell your story in just
a moment. Mary Ward, Dave, have you removed the knife
from the body.
Speaker 9 (04:53):
Yes, mister commedian, we'll go over it for fingerprints.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Ryan and Missus Langley, what makes you so sure that
it was Mary Ward who killed your husband, aside from
the fact that you've found her hair in your apartment. Oh, incidentally,
are you good friends?
Speaker 8 (05:06):
Mary's no friend of mine, mister comedian And she murdered Claude,
my husband, because she was madly in love with him,
and he'd have none of it. He warned her to
keep away from him. That's not true, or mister comedian.
Mary met my husband through her own husband down and
she proceeded to fall in love with him.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
She made his life miserable.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Missus Langlen, it's my duty to ask unpleasant questions, and
I must ask you this one. Didn't your husband encourage
Mary Ward at all.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
Mister Camellian, It's quite true. He had a mild flirtation
with Mary, but Claude loved me. When it ceased to
be a mild flirtation, he told Mary it.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
Had to stop, and she came here and killed him.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
No, mister Camellian, I didn't kill Claude. He was dead
when I got here. I found the door on latch too,
and when I walked in there he was with the
knife in his chest.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
But there was no one else in the apartment.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Why no, I I don't.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Suppose there was, Missus Langlen. Will you swear that the
situation between your husband and Mary Ward here was exactly
the way you described it?
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Of course, I will, all our friends will back me up,
mister COMMI everyone was gossiping about Mary.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
She was crazy about poor Claude.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
Thank you, mister Lott. I suppose you give me your
version of what happened. It's very simple, mister comedian. I
have the apartment next door to the Langleys. I heard
Missus Langley scream and I rushed in, and here they
were Mary Ward and Missus Langley and mister Langley's body
on the floor. Well did you hear any noise in
this apartment, mister Lott before Missus Langley screamed? Why no,
(06:39):
mister comedian, you hesitated.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Why Well, I heard no noise, but about half an
hour earlier I saw Mary Ward entering the apartment.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
You didn't, mister Lott. You never saw me come in,
not half an hour before you heard Ara scream.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Oh yes I did, Missus Ward. I opened my door
to get the afternoon paper, which is always left in
the hall, around two, and I saw you going through
the door of the Langley apartment. I presume mister Langley
let you in.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And I say, that's a lie, It's a wicked lie.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Try to calm yourself, Mary Ward. Now there's no use
denying that you were here in the Langley apartment. What
were you doing here? Why did you come? Belansomie? Please like.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I came to get my ring, mister comedian. Claude had
phoned me. He said his wife Aura was out shopping
and he'd be here alone.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So I came to get my ring.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
What ring? My wedding ring, Missus Wood. You mean Claude
Langley had your wedding ring.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
That's absurd, mister Comedion. What would my husband be doing
with Mary's wedding?
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Oh please, Missus Langley, it's Mary Wad's turn. Now tell
me about it, Missus wadd please give me the whole story.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Well, I I did meet Claude through my husband Dona.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Met him at a dinner party. He was there without
his wife.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Mister commedian, please, Missus Langley, I want to hear Missus
Ward out to the end. Go on, Missus Ward. Did
you meet Claude Langley again? Later?
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Yes, mister Camellion, My husband down was out of town
on business. Claude asked me to have luncheon later cocktails.
It It was a mild flirtation, but that was all,
and I was sorry for him. Why he finally told
me about Aura, he said, but I'd rather not repeat it.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
I'm sorry you must, missus wad this is murder and
we cannot consider anyone's feelings. What did Claude Langley tell
you that.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
He was very unhappy that Aura had married him for
his money, that all she cared about was getting her
hands on that money.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Oh now, really, go on, missus Wanan. What about your
wedding ring?
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Well, my wedding ring, mister comedian, is very unusual. It's
a carved gold ring. I value it highly.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Yet you gave it to Claude Langley.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
No, no, no, you see, I haven't been well. I
lost a lot of wadeon and the wedding ring loose
on my finger. Oh one day at luncheon it slipped off,
and Claude offered to get it fixed, have it made smaller.
It was a very unusual leaf design.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
You mean it wouldn't be as easy to make smaller
as a plain wedding ring.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Yes, yes, that's right, mister comedian. And Claude said he
knew a clever jeweler who could make it smaller.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
And then then I gave it to him. Extraordinary thing
for a married woman to give another man her wedding ring.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Well, anyway, I gave it to Claude to have it
made smaller, and Claude refused to give it back. Mister comedian,
he held it over my head as a constant threat.
He tried to make me leave Don, my husband, and
go with him, and he said if I didn't go
with him, he'd tell Don I'd given him the ring
as a token.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Of my affection. Did you tell your husband about this?
Speaker 10 (09:46):
No?
Speaker 5 (09:46):
I was afraid to, mister Camellon. I love Don, but
he's insanely jealous. I was afraid of what he'd do.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
I see h What is your husband's business phone number?
Missus Wood?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Why Butterfield eight nine nine seven, Oh.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Yes, mister Commerdian, and call that number please. I want
to speak to Don Ward.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Okay, sir, But mister Comelion, what for? I mean, why
do you want to speak to my husband?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
I want to check on his whereabouts at the time
of claud Langley's murder.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
But mister Camellion, my husband Don is a salesman for
a brokerage for him. I I'm sure he'll be out
calling on customers. I'm sure of it.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
How can you be so sure that he won't be in,
Missus Ward, unless you know that he isn't in.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Well, of course I don't know.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
And another thing, you say that you've lost weight. Just
how much weight did you lose.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Missus wadd about ten pounds.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Hardly enough to make a ring slip off your finger. Also,
you say you last week because of illness. Well, is
it not possible that you are trying to lose weight,
Missus Ward, in order to be more attractive to Claude Langley.
That is one of the first things a woman does,
you know, and she wants to attract a man to
slim down a bit.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
No, mister Comelion, I cared nothing.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
For clause common.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Yes, Dave you get Downward on the phone.
Speaker 9 (10:53):
No, sir, His secretary says he hasn't been in since none.
She thought he went out to meet his wife for a.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
But you did not meet him for luncheon, did you,
missus wad No, mister Camelion, I tell you don was
out seeing customers, or he might have been here in
the Langley apartment between twelve and two.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Mister comedian, I just thought of something, yes, mister Lott,
About half an hour before I saw missus Ward in
the hall. I was coming in and I saw a
man ringing Claude Langley's bill, A very tall man with
reddish hair.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
With reddish hair, Missus Ward, does that describe your husband?
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yes, it does, mister Camellon, But I swear neither Don
nor I murdered Claude Langley.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Well, someone did, Missus wad and I intend to find
that someone. Dave search this apartment thoroughly for Missus Ward's
carved gold wedding risk. Sure, Missus Langley, I want you
and Marvin Lott to go to Central Police Headquarters to
sign a deposition telling how you found the body with
Missus Ward in the room. And what about me you,
Missus Waughan. Well, for the present, I haven't quite enough
(11:54):
evidence to hold you for murder, but I may get
in touch with you later in the day after I've
had a talk with your husband.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And a little later we find mister Camellion in Don
Ward's office and you're saying to Don Ward, who has
just risen to his feet.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
Are you doing mister Ward? I'm Comedian of Central Police Headquarters.
I've come to talk to you about the murder of
Claude Langlen Claude Langley.
Speaker 11 (12:28):
Claude murdered.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
You don't seem too surprised. Are Your voice is surprised,
but your eyes are not.
Speaker 11 (12:34):
Now look here, mister commitedian.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
He was stabbed to death between twelve and two this afternoon.
Where were you at that time? I er? I was out,
I know that, But just where, mister Wad, I was
just walking around. Have you talked to my wife Mary?
I have. She was in the room with Claude Langley's body.
Missus Langley found her there.
Speaker 11 (12:56):
Mister Comellion, If you mean my wife Mary murdered Claude,
I don't believe it. I love Mary. She's not capable
of killing any one.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
But then if your love her, mister Ward, tell me
the whole truth. Where were you at the time of
Claude Langley's death?
Speaker 11 (13:08):
I can't tell you. I can't tell you.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Is that your final word? Yes, mister comedian, that's my
final word. Very well, mister Ward. If you refuse to
co operate, there's nothing more that I can do at
the moment. I shall be seeing you and your wife
again later I want to question you both further. Good Bye,
mister Watt.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
Hello, Hello don Is, mister Camellion the detective.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
There, No, Mary, he just left. Mary, listen, did you
tell him I knew about your wedding ring? Did you
tell him you told me only this morning that Claude
had the ring?
Speaker 10 (13:46):
No, Don, I didn't. Something stopped me, Oh, Darling.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
I'm so afraid, so am I.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
But when he questioned me, I refused to say much.
I wanted to talk to you first. Mary. Can we
say that we had luncheon together?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
No, Don, that won't work. Mister Camellian knows that we didn't.
And besides, I was seen at lunch at Marto's to
day by a dozen people who know us.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
Then let's say we met right after lunch at some
place as far as possible from a Langley apartment. We've
got to have an alibi, marry both of us, and
if we stick to our story, there's nothing they can
do about it.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And a little later, at Central Headquarters, in the office
of the Commissioner of Police, we find mister Camellian talking
to the Commissioner.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
I quite agree with you, Commissioner. Mary Ward's story is
a very strange man. Indeed, so far, no trace has
been fond of her carved gold wedding ring, which she
says she was trying to get back from the murdered men.
She may have made it all up. There's no telling,
not yet.
Speaker 11 (14:50):
But Camellion, what about her husband, Don Ward?
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
He was so penny stricken he get hardly talk. If
only I could find the ring, I feel it's the
key to everything. Mm oh, it's probably for me, Commissioner.
I called the manager of the Region dress shop where
Claude Langley's widow, Orda said she bought a dress today.
Comeleon speaking, mister Comellion, this.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
Is Missus Arthur of the Regent Dress Shop. I understand
you called me.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Ah, yes, Missus Arthur. Have you a customer named Donna Langley?
Speaker 10 (15:17):
Indeed we do. She has a charge account here.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Did she buy a dinner dress in your shop today?
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Why?
Speaker 9 (15:23):
No?
Speaker 10 (15:24):
She bought a dinner dress here two days ago.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
But not today. Was she in your shop at all today?
Speaker 10 (15:29):
No, mister comedian, and I would have known. I always
wait on him myself.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Your positive, Missus Langley was not in your shop at
all today.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
Yes, mister Comedian, I'm absolutely positive.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Thank you, Missus Arthur. Commissioner Orda Langley was lying too.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Oh, she was mm hmm.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
She told me that at the time her husband was murdered,
she'd been out shopping. She'd bought a dinner dress at
the Regent Dress Shop. It seems she didn't go near
the Regent Dress Shop. Today, missus Langley is in my
office with Marvin Lott. I think I'd better step in
there right now and ask the lady why she lieder.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Mister Camellion and the wedding ring murder case continues in
just a moment. A very important thing to know about
genuine Bayer aspirin is that its single active ingredient is
so gentle to the system. Mothers give it even to
small children on their doctor's advice. Always remember this because
it means that when you have an ordinary headache, neurtic
(16:33):
or neuuralgic pain, you can take Bayer aspirin with complete confidence.
For Bayer aspirin gives you more than fast relief, it
also gives you the dependable relief that's important to your health.
Bayer aspirin speed is proved by the fact that it's
actually ready to go to work in two seconds, and
its dependability is proved by the fact that no other
pain reliever can match its record of use by millions
(16:55):
of normal people without ill effect. So don't experiment when
you are in pain. Don't risk using drugs that have
not stood the test of time. Instead, youse something that
millions know from experience is fast and completely dependable too,
genuine Bayer aspirin. And when you buy, ask for it
by its full name, Bayer Aspirin, not just for aspirin alone.
(17:17):
Get the one hundred tablet bottle and you get Bayer
aspirin tablets for less than a penny apiece. And now
back to mister Camellion and the wedding Ring murder case.
Claude Langley's murder has resulted in conflicting stories from Mary Ward,
(17:39):
who admitted she had a flirtation with Claude, and from
his widow Aur and from mary Ward's husband Dawn. And
now in mister Camellion's office we find him confronting or
A Langley while Marvin Lott, her neighbor, looks on with interest,
and Camellion is saying.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
Missus Langley, you did not tell me the truth. You
said you are shopping at the time of your husband's murder.
You said you bought a dinner dress at the Region
Dress Shop.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I did, mister Commedion.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
The manager of the shop says that you did not.
You bought that dress two days ago.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Well, she's crazy. I was in there at one o'clock shop.
I remember because I looked at the clock on the walls.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Is Langley. The manager would testify against you in court.
It might go badly for you. So I advise you
to tell me the truth.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I'm trying to, mister Commedian, but you make it so difficult.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
You did not go to the Region Dress Shop.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
All right, I didn't, but I intended to.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
What do you mean?
Speaker 8 (18:35):
I was taking the dress back because I didn't really
like it. I left my apartment about a quarter to one.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Mister Lott, Could you verify this statement of missus Langley?
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Why no, mister Cammillion, I'm afraid I couldn't. I live
in the apartment next door, to be sure, but I
don't always hear people going in and out.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Yet you saw Don Ward ringing the Langley doorbell. Later
you saw Mary Ward going in, but you did not
see Missus Langley leave or return.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
No, mister comedian, And what does that prove?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
You lied about the dress, Missus Langley.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Whatever I did on the spur of the moment, you
surely don't think I murdered my husband.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
You couldn't think that, mister Capelia.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
You inherited his money. He told mary Ward that you
married him for his money.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
He did not. I loved Claude. I'm completely innocent of
his death. You have no right to accuse an innocent.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Person, Missus Langlen. Do you see that motto over my desk?
The innocent must be protected the guild. They must be punished.
But sometimes the innocent make it hard for us to
protect them because they lie in a mistaken effort to
protect themselves.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Well, I'm not lie, Missus Langley. You shouldn't get so
panic stricken.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I'm not panic stricken, mister Lott. And you'll keep out
of this.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Sorry, all right, Missus Langley. It's all I have to
say for now. You may go.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Oh and uh you too, mister Lott. Thank you, mister comedian.
If you need me further, don't hesitate to call on me.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
I will, mister lot that's for you. Missus Langley. I
am sorry that I upset you, but my only interest
is in finding your husband's murderer.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
And if you do, mister Commedion, you'll find it's not
I You.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Almost sound as if you knew who it was, Missus Langley.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I should think it was pretty obvious.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
You never found Mary Ward's gold wedding ring, did you?
So you know that she was lying when she said, Claude,
my husband had it good.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Bye, Dave.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
Yes, mister Commellion boy, Missus Langley certainly left an estate,
didn't she.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Everyone concerned seems to get all worked up, and the
lies are accumulating so fast it isn't funny.
Speaker 9 (20:42):
Sometimes people lie because they are scared. Mister Comellion, you'll
know from past experience how many innocent people lie.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
Yes, I do, Dave. It's exactly the theory I'm proceeding on.
And I'm also returning to Don Ward's obvious.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
To search for his wife's wedding ring.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Exactly, Dave. But I'm going there, yeah, disguised as a
telephone repair man, not too bright guy named Pete Little.
Everything hangs on that carved gold wording thing. I've got
to find it, Dave. I've got to get my hands
on it.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And so a little later we find mister Cameleon in
his disguise as the telephone repairman Pete Little, And while
Detective Dave Arnold waits outside, keeping well out of sight,
Cameleon knocks on Don Ward's office door and waits. Then
he speaks in the voice of his disguise when the
door opens.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
That's mister Ward's office, mister Don Wooden.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Why yes, mister Ward isn't here just now.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
At no matter? And the telephone repair man is phone
ain't working?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Well, did you speak to his secretary?
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Ain't you a secretary?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
No, I'm his wife. That's his secretary's office over there.
This is mister Ward's private entrance.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Well, just as long as it's the door I can
walk through. I gotta fix the phone. Look, lady, I'm
coming in.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Well, I guess it's all right.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Sure, it's all right. Why wouldn't it be all right
when the phone's out of order? You fix it?
Speaker 10 (22:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Better move this typewriter over to the table.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Gives me more room.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
Oh, hello, Mary, did I keep you waiting? Who's this man?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
He's the telephone repair man.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
Don what you I come to fix the telephone?
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Well, there's nothing wrong with my telephone. I didn't send
for any repair man.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Are you nuts?
Speaker 11 (22:42):
No, I didn't send for you. I don't know who
you are, what you want?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
But get out?
Speaker 7 (22:46):
What are you so excited about?
Speaker 11 (22:48):
Because I didn't send for you. I don't want you here.
Now get out, get out, or I'll throw you out.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Okay, okay, I think you're nuts.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
I don't care what you think. I said. I'd throw
you out and I will.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Must look at me, look at your billy, who might
what to tempt you here, mister Ward, and you're strung
as a ball. Mister commedian, you are right, yes, dame,
except for a few black and blue marks on my arm.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
Just let me go on.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
They mustn't know that I was a comedian. We better
get out of sight quick day. Besides, I found out
what I want to know. Now. All you have to
do is to go down to city Hall. City Hall, Yes,
city Hall. I have some research work for you to do, Dave,
and then we'll be ready for the next step. I
think I'll call a little conference of everyone involved. I
(23:39):
go to telephone Marvin a Lot and ask him if
we can use his apartment. These women are so hysterical.
I don't want to take them back to the murder scene,
you sure are riding high.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
And that evening we find mister Cameleon relaxing in an
easy chair in Marvin Lott's apartment, But the four other
people sitting there are anything but relaxed, with the exception
of Marvin Lott, and we hear Ora Langley saying, but.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
Mister Camellion, I don't quite understand why did you gather
us together in mister Lott's apartment.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
Well, mister Lott doesn't mind, do you, Miss Lott, not
at all?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
But I'm rather curious.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
So am i?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Mister Comeleion, Yes I am too.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Well, I'll tell you Missus Ward and mister Wodd, and
this applies to you too. Missus Langley. You've all of
you proven so very excitable that I thought it best
to hold this little conference here close to the murdercy
and yet not actually on the spot because of the
emotional impact.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
You're very considered of us all of a sudden, mister comedian,
are you sure that's your only reason for coming here
to this apartment?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
I believe you know the answer to that one, Missus Langlen,
what do you mean? I mean? I did have a
second reason for bringing you here, as you know.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
Mister comedian, get to the point. What's this all about.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yes, you've no right to torture us.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
I'm not trying to torture Missus Ward. And a few
minutes anxiety you're all suffering now is nothing compared to
Claude Langley's brutal stabbing. But Missus Ward, wouldn't you say
that your carved gold wedding ring was important, the ring
that you insist Claude Langley was holding. Why, yes, well,
I've been tipped off that that missing wedding ring is
here in this apartment.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
What here in my apartment? You're joking, mister Camedie.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
No, mister Lott, I was tipped off that i'd find
Missus Ward's carved gold wedding ring in that Dresden vase
on your mentor.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Well, that's ridiculous. There's no ring there.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Suppose I look and see, mister Lott, don't try to
stop me. Detective Donald is standing right behind you.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
That's right, mister Lott, stay where you are.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
But there's no ring in that vase.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
You're mistaken, mister Lott. Here it is in the vase,
just as my informant told me. What missus Ward. This
is your carved gold wedding ring, isn't it? Yes, mister Camellion,
mister wad you recognize your wife's wedding ring?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Well, mister Lott, what do you have to say?
Speaker 6 (25:58):
It's a frame up, a dirty frame up here.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
As the ring, mister Lott, how did it get hair
in your apartment?
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I tell you it's a frame up. Mister comedian? Who
told you? Was there? Answer me? Who told you?
Speaker 11 (26:07):
Don't you know?
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Yes? I do. It was you, Aura, It was you,
wasn't it?
Speaker 10 (26:12):
You?
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Double crossing cheat Marvin. You got your suffered a spot
by lying about that dress. You were scared of death.
I know, I know. I saw you in mister Comedian's office,
so you planted the ring on me to save your
own neck. I'll kill you for that, No you won't.
I've got you, double crossing Cheataura, you murderous shut.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I didn't kill Claude. It was you, Marvin, you.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
Or perhaps both of you together, mister and missus Lott.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
What?
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Yes, I know that you two are man and wife.
We found a record of your marriage to Marvin Lott.
Ten years ago later, you Aura married Claude Langley, Bigamousley.
You must have, since there is no record of a
divorce from Marvin Lott. You married Claude Langley and you
killed him for his money. You plunged the knife into
his heart.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
But I didn't. It was Marvin. I testifying part it
with Marvin.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
I'll testify with you, Aora, who planned the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
That should wrap it up very neatly. The two of
you planned to murder Claude Langley for his money, and
when you learned that Claude had Mary Ward's wedding ring,
you saw the perfect chance to pin the murder on
her or her husband. But mister Camellion, yes, mister wad
Mary's wedding ring? How did it get here in Lot's apartment?
When I found it, of course, in your office, mister Ward,
hidden in the typewriter, I thought that's where it was.
(27:26):
You hovered so anxiously over that typewriter the first time
I saw you. You had paid a visit to Claude
Langley too, mister Ward, the day of the murder, and
got the ring, and then you were panicky, lost your
head and lied. No one tipped me off that the
ring was here in Lot's apartment. It was I who
planted it here in order to catch Claude Langley's killer.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
And with these words, mister Amelion concludes tonight's murder case.
If you've ever had difficulty giving your children the proper
dosage of aspirin is prescribed by your doctor, you'll be
(28:19):
glad to know you can now get genuine Bayer aspirin
in a new children's size tablet. These new tablets contain
half the amount of the regular size Bayer aspirin tablets,
and with them you can conveniently give your child the
dosage your doctor wants him to have. Yes, and they're
made so easy that they can be broken right in
half whenever still smaller dosages are required. In addition, they're
(28:41):
neither colored nor flavored, and hence cannot be mistaken for candy,
and they may be used with complete confidence. For the
fact that doctors prescribe Bayar aspirin's single active ingredient, even
for the smallest children, shows how gentle and dependable it is.
The bottle and carton are plainly marked Children's size Bayer
Aspirin thirty tablets for twenty five cents. Listen next Wednesday
(29:29):
Night at the same time for mister Cameleon, the man
of Many Faces in the Stolen Melody Murder Case. The
part of mister Comeleion is played by Carl Swinson, with
dialogue by Marie Baumer from the original story by Frank
and Anne hummerd music directed by Victor Arden.
Speaker 11 (29:50):
Your announcer is Howard Claney.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
Millions. Tooth decay means suffering, worry expense. But now, thanks
to a remarkable scientific discovery, you can actually cut down
tooth decay simply by using you ammoniated Doctor Lion's tooth powder.
Based on a formula developed by University of Illinois scientists.
It actually destroys bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus, which cause tooth decay.
(30:23):
As a result, dentists by the thousands recommend this type detifice.
So to cut down tooth decay. To have sounder, healthier,
handsomer teeth, use ammoniated Doctor Lion's tooth powder. Both regular
Doctor Lion's Toothpowder and new ammoniated Doctor Lions are all
drug and toilet goods counters.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Listen formist to Chameleon in the Stolen Melody Murder Case
next Wednesday night. At this time this is CBS the
Columbia Broadcasting System Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I suspected the upstairs neighbor from pretty much the start.
He just seemed to be a little bit too helpful
to the police, particularly when he was providing damning evidence,
but then at other times he would be conveniently unaware
or I'm not able to say. Plus, the fact that
(31:41):
his testimony contradicted her and her husband meant that either
he was the killer or they were, and I thought
he made more sense with the way this series worked.
Of course, the detail of him being secretly married to
the supposed wife of the murdered man and her being
(32:05):
a big mess seems a bit unnecessary for this case.
It doesn't really add to the plot. On one hand,
it did make it easy for the police to associate
them and explain why it was that Chameleon knew that
they were connected. On the other, it seems that they
committed big and both lived in the same apartment under
(32:29):
their right name, though she obviously married the murder victim
with her maiden name. You kind of expect one of
them to take on a pseudonym for their own protection.
But then again, they are mister Cameleian villain so what
are you gonna do? All right, Well, now let's go
ahead and talk a bit about the plan for Thursdays
(32:52):
in the coming season. As I talked about Mister and Missus,
North is going to come to Thursdays as we put
a pause on Mister Chameleon for a while, and that
will actually be the final series in the line of
Thursday shows that began with Sherlock Holmes back in season one.
(33:17):
At that point, we will have great Detectives Monday through Friday,
and my plan right now is to move Dragnet from
Saturday to Thursday. I've toyed with the idea of having
Dragnet on Friday, so we could have Fridays with Friday,
(33:39):
but Friday has been the Johnny Dollar spot for the
past fifteen years and I don't see a reason to
change that. And then on Saturday, we will have an
old time radio adventure series. I had really hoped that
I'd be able to bring you Bold Venture with Humphrey
Bogart and Lorne Becall, but there has been a situation
(34:05):
where Carl Lamari formed a group to license the transcriptions
of Bold Venture and purchased a set of all seventy
eight episodes, including many that were not in circulation, and
so he set those out to the group that contributed
(34:29):
to the GoFundMe effort to purchase those transcription desks. The
way that he has phrased this particular license claim puts
me in a situation where I don't feel comfortable at
this point presenting bold Venture, even if I use Internet
files that are in no way connected to the discy purchase.
(34:53):
So instead we will probably be bringing you counter Spy
that will be played on Saturday, and we will have
it on the Great Detectives feed for a while as
long as we are playing kind of detective adjacent adventure programs,
and then hopefully that grows to enough point where it's
(35:15):
its own thing and no longer on that feed and
it's entirely separate feed, which of course will also be
sitting up at the same time.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Some of the.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Series that we will end up playing will include things
like Voyage of the Scarlet Queen, Cloak and Dagger, Secret
Agent K seven Returns, and there are more series that
I'll end up considering. There are some that are not
detective adjacent, which we obviously won't play here and be
(35:46):
past the point where it gets to its own feed
things like the Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel. With the
Adventure podcast, I also am aiming to have two episodes
per week. One episode would feature an adult adventure program
(36:06):
and the other would feature a juvenile adventure program. I
think that there are some pretty high quality juvenile adventure
programs there, not for everyone, but kind of lack with
great detectives where I play all different types of detective programs.
With the old time radio adventures, I'd like to feature
(36:30):
all sorts of adventure programs and listeners can just listen
to the ones they like. So that is going to
be coming up again quite a few months off. We've
got a few weeks more Mister Chameleon and several months
more of Mister and Missus North, although I might launch
(36:52):
the Adventure podcast with the juvenile programs while we're still
waiting to finish up Mister and Missus North. All right, well,
now we turn to listener comments and feedback, and have
a comment from YouTube Kim rits this new yawker still
(37:14):
trying to get used to the narrator's accent. Bless him.
Thank you, Kim, appreciate your effort on that and then
comment from Maria, thanks for posting this new black and
white classic etective series, which are my old favorite episodes
which I'll not miss in the world. Well, thank you
(37:36):
so much, Maria. And that's of course a reference to
the thumbnails that we use on YouTube, which quite often
are in black and white, which I think you know
does serve our channel pretty well. All right, Well, now
it is time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day,
and I want to go ahead and thank Alexandra. Alexander
has been one of our Patreon supporters since September twenty
(37:59):
six team, currently supporting the podcast at the Detective Sergeant
level of seven dollars and fourteen cents or more per month.
Thank you so much for your support, and that will
actually do it for today. If you're enjoying the podcast,

Released a statement to the newspapers. I thought you had
heard you've made a trip over here for nothing then,
Yet you see.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
My husband ered when he identified that body as being
our daughters.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
It couldn't possibly have been.
Speaker 7 (38:47):
Well, I know you're glad of that, missus Mason, but
what made mister Mason change his mind? I haven't changed
the dollar, Georgia.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
I thought you were going to stay in your room.
Speaker 11 (38:57):
Never mind Dollar.
Speaker 7 (38:58):
Any questions you want to ask, Scout's right answer?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Why George Mason?
Speaker 11 (39:03):
Think you only enough to take the bad taste out
of my mouth? And you know what put it there?
Oh dog, lookstone mixed up, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I tried going along with you, but I got two
weeks of stomach so here I am.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
I didn't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
Oh listen, Dollar.
Speaker 11 (39:17):
Soon as they found out that girl had been murdered,
my wife here decided it couldn't.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
Have been dollars isn't dollar?
Speaker 3 (39:22):
And you know it.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Only thing I know is that you've got a set
idea good proper people don't die nowhere else but in bed.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
