The robin Hood of Modern Crime now comes transcribed to radio,

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I am miss template, thanks, Junior's I think any better.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
It's too infused, as if they're building the new Third
Avenue subway right through my head.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
While it's too bad.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I don't mind the digging so much, but I wish
they'd be a little more gentle when they throw the
track down around the quieting here tonight anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, well it's rain and you know the people they
stay home when it rains.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Hmm, which was quiet last night too, Well, then it
was nice out. The people they don't like to go
indoors when.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's nice out. Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I see what this business needs is nice intermediate weather.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
But who's going to go on proposition nature.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I'm glad to see you take the ups and downs
of the saluting business philosophically. Mister templar guy, he's got
no philosophy in him. He's got no business in a
slow business. Besides, I don't mind. A couple of quiet nights.
Gives me a chance to catch up on the newspapers.
I wants the headline there. Oh, it's the same thing.
Russia here, Russian, Russian. That other calamity in all the
local one. Oh which frenchy Lassal, that's the former calamity
(01:50):
is near Julius. They're burying us out tomorrow. Well that's
what the cops say, but you don't believe it. The
ignorance believes nothing, mister Templar.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And me I am ignorant.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I have to change your rating on my little list, Judis.
I've mistaken him. March you down as wives in many ways, ignorant,
mister Templer, like, for instance, how do they know?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
How do you mean? How half?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
For six months the cops have been hut and high
and off of this lossal. They got a reservation for
him and sing sing you know, private rule and a.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Chair that's equipped with a Belgian toaster.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, they're gonna fry him and believing nobody deserves it better.
And they finally find this prince less sad you see,
he's dead in the river. Three weeks in the river
mister templar, So how do they know, you mean, a
man doesn't look like he used to look after three
unhealthy weeks in the huts. And that's my point, it
ain't did. I think the cops maybe doing it on purpose,
(02:42):
But you know what.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
They make sometimes mistakes, not very often, but.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Sometimes in as certain of paper. He didn't even have
no fingerprints left, you know, three weeks in the river. No,
but you forget he was wearing a ring that less
how always wore. The scraps of clothing were definitely established
as less sounds, and the shoes and oh there were
a few other things. Yeah, but Julius, a scientist can
really construct the face and body of a man did
(03:06):
almost a million years just from.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
A couple of bleached bones.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well, they say that this is what the fella looked
like a million years ago.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
But you and me, we gotta tell a noel or
a fellow.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Maybe you're a syny, because I, mister tapla, just ignorant.
What's the difference.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
They say that it's Frenchie LaSala putting on the tomorrow.
It's all right, it's Frenchy la Sala by meat.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Too good, night, Julius.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, I, mister Tapla, hey, that headache you as you
should put it to bed on a rainy night like this.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That's exactly what I'm going to do with my headache
and with the rest of me too.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh no, no, all right, all right, at please slip
the doorbell, go back to sleep, can't you now?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What's all this you?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Simon Templar, Yes, but Simon Templar, who is known as
the same.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Look here, what is that we'd like to come in?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Come on in, Mabel.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I'm right with you, n this is a nice joint.
Business must be good.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
See here, would you do? Please?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Oh you're the thing, the same.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Look.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I never give autographs, and if I did, it wouldn't
be at two in the morning.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Oh, we couldn't make it any earlier. The same, you know, Midge,
he's cute. Look who are you to We're angel?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Angel.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Julius was right. I should never have had scotch on
top of champagne, So you're angel.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Uh huh. That's why we couldn't get here any sooner.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You mean you had a rough crossing?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
No, not especially. There's never much traffic at this hour,
and we didn't have to wait very long for the
bus either. Did we need five minutes the bus?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You mean there's a bus between here and there?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Perhaps fourteen? You change at Union Square? Of course the
subway is quicker that Harry doesn't like for ethangels to
ride the subways till late at night. Harry Satan, I boss.
We call him Harry. It's a templar.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You're all right, you tell me?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I mean, no, what do you pinching yourself like that poem?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Can't you see that I'm trying to wake myself up?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Oh you seem awakened up to me, doesn't he? Mabel?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:23):
But well, miss Temple, what are you looking so unhappy?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Don't angels ever have nightmares? Sure?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Why?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Sometimes I.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
O n Do you know what I think? What Mabel?
I think he thinks we think we're a real angel. Mabel,
why do we tell the girl, Miss Tembla? Honestly, for
your own private InfoNation, we are positively not real angels.
I mean, not the kind that you find in heaven
(05:53):
for instance. No, no, we're Satan's angels.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh no, oh you've.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Heard of us, of course, not since the last time
I read Dances Inferno.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Don't you like music.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Of course I like music, But what on that tampler?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Satan's Angel or putting it another way, Harry Satan and
his All Gurl orchestra.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh, for the love of you're an orchestra.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Huh huh, Tennis Sacks, faith Tuba.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
It's a good thing. Neither of you said the harp.
We've been for another round of confusion. Look, girls, I'm
not feeling very well at the moment, so and I.
One day you wouldn't mind continuing.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
This key templer?
Speaker 5 (06:29):
We have a problem.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Take it to PHILSPERTOWNI and after we came.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
All the way across town following our last performance at
the Paradise Paradise.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Look, let's not start that stuff again.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
We need your hair, we really do.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
But I don't know anything about your music, I miss.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Oh, we didn't come to see you about our music.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
No, it's something worse, much worse.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
What could it be worse?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
A second trombone has disappeared, completely vanished.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh it'll turn up in some porn shop, I'm sure.
And if it doesn't, why not all chip in and
buy another one and let me go back to bid.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
But it isn't an it it's as she our second trombone,
Mary Miller, and she's disappeared.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I see.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Tell me, have you ever heard of a thriving little
institution known as the Missing Person's Bureau?
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yeah, we call them. They won't handle it. They said
they don't consider Mary missing just because she's been gone
one and a half day.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Good for them. I'm glad to see they're alert down there.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
But it isn't like Mary, not at all. It may
be only one and a half days to ordinary people,
but to us, it's fourteen performances she's been missing, and
Mary never missed a performance in all the six months
she's been with the band.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
I see, you must help us. You must wear Frankie.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yes, I was afraid you were.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Please please help us.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Look, ladies, just because a girl trombone player has been
missing for thirty six.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Hours thirty seven now, okay, okay, I'll tell you what
I'll do.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Made you hear he's gonna do something?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well, if you will get out of here and let
me get back to bed and remove myself with this headache,
I promise you the first thing tomorrow I'll visit you
at the theater and look into this trombone business.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Oh, is any wonderful. It's the paradise, the one on
the east side, the paradise.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Ah, is it two pm?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I'll be there now. Good night, please, good night, and
give my love to the rest of the angels.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Oh no, no, not those two again. All right, all right,
all right, angel for Heaven's sake, girls, I don't look
like girls, do I. As a matter of fact, you
don't look like anything I've ever seen before. Come in
and say, come on, might be different. What's the gun for?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Ugly you?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
So nice joint she got here?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
That's what they all say. Cigarette. Thanks, it's uh poisoned.
You know I've been poisoned before. Shah.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Now we talk now, huh And you're holding the gun. Yeah, yeah,
I'm glad you noticed things. I'm here about them tomatoes,
sing trombones, tomatoes tonight. I'm doing a bigger business than
Mason's and Dames. I mean them angels keep clear, saying
tell them don't or looking for now missing Dames saying
he won't be finding out trouble you get it on.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
The general drift. You know what, I'm beginning to think
I know you from somewhere.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, then it's time to stop thinking the face is familiar,
but I can't seem to place the nose. Now I've
got I'll lose it. That nose was flat the last
time I swigned.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
About a year ago. So you've brought yourself a new schnuzzle.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Jake, the names Jorge. The name's Jake, Jake Fario. You
work for French Lassa. I drop it ahead of his artool.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Record a saint.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
But right now is when you're gonna start feeling sorry.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
You wasn't born dumb. I standing where your.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Knocket out of here? Wait, well.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
That's one way to get rid of the hitache man,
mister Satan. That's right, My name's Temper.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Hey, did you catch a show.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
As a matter of fact, mister Satan, we mighted.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
The people today might at him almost as big as
that day in thebuke.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
There you hear that applause?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
But uh huh, I heard it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Well, we'll improve.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
That's a great little off that I got here, a
great bunch of girls. You should have caught us that
day in debut.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
You just should have called it.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Maybe next time. There's the same thing I wanted to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Look pale, If it's about them payments for those arrange.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I'm not collecting bills. I'm I'm looking for a girl.
So it's like that. I know, it's like this. I
understand your second trombone players missing.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Eh second trump? Hey, your nuts, this is news to you.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Mary'd never miss a performance, lost conscientious girl in the band,
loves music, the only one in the whole outfit who does.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Why was she behind her trombone? Just now?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
You meaning a show? We just not give?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Man Sean, you're the leader, don't you know?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Well there's sometimes you know, I.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Yeah, come in, yeah, hell you did come a promise.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Hey wait a minute, Look, how come I don't know
about this guy?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
It happened as yet and we put in the racing pool.
And that's how come? It's the temper. What can we do?
Where can we begin?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Well, then you and mister Satan can start the ball
game by telling me a few things about the lady
everything I know. First, did you seem worried about anything
these last few days?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Nervous? But have to frightened?
Speaker 5 (12:03):
It's hard to tell.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Well, Mary's such a quiet girl. I became her roommate
when she joined the Angels about six months ago, and
even living with her I never really.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Felt I knew her.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
I see, not that I didn't try to know her.
I myself am a rather friendly person.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Anybody, Harry shut up.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Of course, Mary was always nice and sweet to everyone,
and such a perfect little lady and all. But yet
what well, every now and then something sort of well,
sort of tough like seemed to show up in her, Harry,
I wanted you your butt out, And she seemed like
she was carrying secrets, mister Temples deep sorrowful one. Of course,
(12:49):
I never asked.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Her to elucidate much.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Where was she from?
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Well, that was one of the secrets. Every time I
asked her, she'd make what she didn't hear me?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
But you should know me.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah, I don't know anything, not anything period.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
What did you do before she became one of Satan?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I don't know that either.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Didn't she tell you anything of what she'd been doing before?
What orchestra she's been playing with? For example?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
No, I never asked, And if I did ask, I
don't remember. And if I asked, if she told me,
I don't remember that either.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
If she was a hush you'd remember, if she was
a hook, you'd even know how many hands hi her grandmother.
Was you remember everything?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, remember everything? You see how it is, Pally.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Most guys go through life getting egged by just one
of them, But not Harry Satan.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I got a hook up with twenty two.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
You know something I think I will be saying your
Pally Remember her name, Harry.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
St He's such a lovable jack.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I'd be a little more inclined to go along with
you on that if he were a little less inclined
to hiding things.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Do you think he's holding out something about Mary?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I'm sure of it. Tell me did you go through
her belongings?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Oh? Why?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
I wouldn't dream of such as say be said. She
doesn't have very much to go through.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I don't take a look myself later. Did you take
anything with her?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Not so much as a toothbrush, not even a fresh.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yes, Michael, come on, what happened? Oh, Harry?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Who shot you? Harry? I don't know. I didn't see.
Came through the window.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
See get a doctor, No, no doctor? The peal about Mary? Yes,
if you don't, if you don't find her, don't killer?
Who why?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Look? I know I've killer and I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
But she's a good kid, only one mistake, only one mistake.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Ship Oh.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Harry, oh Harry, oh em he's dead.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Our room is down the middle of the hall, mister
templar this way, I see, I thank you.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
It's a real cheesy hotel. But even sharing a room,
Mary and I could just barely afford.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Oh here we are.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Well at least the door works.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
It's what, mister Chandler.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Just look, you haven't been entertaining any tornadoes like the
head on?
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, I never Who could have done such a thing?
Who could have torn our room apart like this?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
It was looking for something, obviously. What that is? Point
number one? Point number two is did he find it? Hello?
What's this?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (15:51):
That's Mary's first aid kid, you know Bonnage's nies on
and heaven knows what else.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's rather professional looking, wouldn't you say?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Mary never went traveling anywhere about it? Why anytime any
of us girls cut a fingernail too close so got
a little burned from the curly eye, there was Mary.
Make him like Florence Nightingale. I see, Harry used to
poor Harry, He used to say, having Mary with the
orchestra was like having a doctor in that you weren't listening.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Is this Mary?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Uh huh?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
That's me on the left. Midge took it last month.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Oh look at this room.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
What on earth could anyone have been looking for in here?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I wish I knew, Mabel, But I do know this.
Whatever it was, he didn't find it, you can tell.
But how the wallpaper? See how I ripped it off
in places, places that make no sense because there's no
possible hiding place behind where the paper was.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
But so why?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
It was an act of frustration not finding what he
was after in any of the probable places he looked to,
lost his head and started on the improbable one.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
And began to tear down the wall.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Oh, I'd like to get my hands on him, just
for one little minute.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
So I.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But not because of the wallpaper, for what he did
to Harry. Come on, let's get out of here.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Yes, this room is just altogether too depressed.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Wait a minute, Mabel, Is this Mary's trombone?
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Huh huh?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
They come in two pieces, don't they. The sliding pad
can be slid right off the blowing Pardon?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
What is it?
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Did you find something, mister Temple?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I'll let you know as soon as I work whatever
it is out of there, we are, they've rolled, they're
rolled up.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, i'll be X ray.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Pictures now roll? Would Mary had X ray pictures rolled
up in her trombone?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Because she figured?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
And rightly it seems that her trombone would be the
one place whoever was looking for them wouldn't look.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
But why should anyone just as puzzled as you are.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Mister Temple, you could never be.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Well, of course, I don't know all the registered nurses
in town, mister Temper, but I do have a large
agency and a rather good memory.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And the name Mary Miller rings no bells, missus Soyerland.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
I'm sorry, I'd like to help you.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Perhaps one of the other nurses' agency.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Perhaps, or perhaps Mary Miller was known as something else,
or perhaps she wasn't a nurse at all.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Oh you're not sure then that she would? M No.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I looked into a box and found a hunch a
bah yes, a first aid kid, one that seemed just
a trifle to elaborate for a simple citizen to open. Oh,
I see you're sure that the snapshot doesn't uh.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
M no, doesn't look like any of the nurses at
this age. Hmm.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I wonder would you mind wondering out loud? Please?
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Course her hair was dark. Oo if I could just
see this girl as a brunette.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Oh that's easy. Why you go to Antoine's when you
have templar the picture please? And that soft pencil while
I met to myself? Is brunette?
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Now? Why it is?
Speaker 6 (19:02):
It's Mary Webster.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
You say that name with an exclamation point after.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
It, several exclamation points go on. She was doctor Burton's nurse,
and so you don't recall doctor Burton. He was quite notorious.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
What did you do flunk his cigarette? Turst?
Speaker 8 (19:18):
He had some rather interesting patients, mister Templar, the underworld
hoodlums and gangsters. Uh oh, and a remarkable if rather
specialized specialty hum bullets, that's right, gunshot wounds, wounds caused
by hand grenades, knifings.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
And he just never bothered to report any of his
patient's battle wounds to the police as the required by law.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Huh, that's right. He died in prison shortly after his conviction.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And Mary uh Miller or Webster's the case, may be also.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Sent to prison, but with a light sentence, and of
course her license was revoked.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
She had to give up nursing when she got out.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
And so she became a trombone player and a collector.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Oh what does she collect, mister Templer?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
X ray pictures, old and rare ones. It sounds like
a dull hobby, I admit, but I think there's money
in it. Well, Raymond, very interesting X ray plate Simon.
But what am I supposed to do about him? Just
(20:21):
tell me about them, doctor Simon. I'm a physician employed
by the office of the City Medical Examiner. You know
I'm not allowed to give private consultations.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Here.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I think this consultation might develop into a rather public one.
It's a riddle you're making. I'm trying to make answers,
my friend, not riddles.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Very well.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
There are pictures of a shin bone, that's all.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That's all.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Well, slightly different sort of a shinbone. You see right here,
this darker portion through here.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
It's a silver plate and evidently was in an accident
of some sort or he was shocked. Yes, yes, a
bullet would just about break off that amount of bonne.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It might have been shot.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Any house physicianer placed the missing bone of the silver plate.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
It's done all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Have you done any autopsies around here lately on a
body with a silver shinbone. Doctor, No, what are you
trying to find out? Simon?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
What about frenchy Lasal Lasal? I did that out of
sea myself. No silver plates. Then it wasn't LaSalle they
buried this morning?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
What Simon? You crazy?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That body they dragged out of the river, checked up
his lacelle on at least a dozen points, planted points.
The body was dressed up to give that impression before
it was dumped into the river. Ah Uh, it's simple enough.
Trench's body comes out of the river and into a
grave and the police closed the files on frenchship.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
The heat is off and Lassal beats the chair.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I'll harry and all what that? These X ray pictures
show la sal shinburn. A killer named Jake Florio, who
used to be French's right arm told me not to
go looking for a missing girl named Mary Miller.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Mm.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Either you have too much imagination or I don't have enough.
Mary worked for the doctor who did the operation on
this leg. She's probably one of the few living persons
who knows that Larsan has a silver plate to his
shin and she had the X rays to prove it.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
So.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
So if the man buried to day in French in
Nassau's bad name didn't have a silver plate in his leg,
then the smeller girl had some pretty important information. Why
didn't she come GIRs with it? Because she wanted more
than to be paid off with a with a thank you.
She isn't that good a citizen. You think she tried
to shake down herself, and I think Larsan refused to
(22:45):
shake his probably this very moment, twisting her arm, trying
to make her tell where these pictures are. I can
see where he'd consider them important. They're the only thing
in this world that can prove he's still alive and
still a candidate for the electric chair.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Yes, it's Abel and me mid.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Hello girls. It's always nice to welcome a couple of angels.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Mister Templer.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
We would like to know what, if anything, you are doing.
We insist on knowing.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
As a matter of fact, I was reading a.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Book, reading a book, mister Templer.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
It's called in one head and out the other. Very amusing,
full of laughs.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
You can laugh at a time like this before Mary's
still among the Missy, and poor Harry among the murder.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
WI shouldn't you be out looking?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
That's exactly what I would be doing if I went
at home, waiting, waiting for what. I expect that at
any moment the doorbell will ring and a man named
Jake Florio will be among us.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
For what may I ask? Just to kill me, mister
Templar at a time like that, you kill you.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Mister Templor, No, don't let me.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I'll do my best. Want to kill you for the
same reason he killed Harry Satan.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I know too much about Mary Miller, and knowing too
much about Mary, He's afraid, might lead me to knowing
just enough about French LASSU.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
I don't understand you.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
It's healthier that way, mister Templer.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Are you sure that explore your person is coming?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Not positive? But it figures that he should.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
But shouldn't you do something to protect your ta?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I have.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
You get in the other room? Do as I say?
Speaker 4 (24:32):
All right? Yes? Our a gram well hello, saying why.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
It isn't a telegram at all? It's Jake Fourrio, and
I'll bet you've come.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
To shoot me.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I'm inside saying come on, come on.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Anything to oblige a man with a thirty.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Eight I warned you not to poke around, saying, you
know what happens the smart guys who can't take a suggestion.
M Well, Simon, did they do it? Is?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
He told me to.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
The operation is a complete success, doctor, and now let's
bring him back to life for a while so he
can tell us where French lusus hiding. I'm all right,
I'm all right doctor. I'd like you to meet a
couple of angels.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
How do you do?
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Hello? Teenage?
Speaker 5 (25:21):
He's cute, Yes he is.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I have been. I've never noticed before, Simon, who is there? Delivery?
Speaker 4 (25:40):
You got on the popa mount? I'm not expecting anything.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I guess mister Florie must have given us the wrong address.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Where are you from?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Made laboratories? I have got some X ray pictures here.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Great picture and told you to bring them here.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, but I guess I got the wrong address, so I'll.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Just be wait. Maybe I ought to take a look.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
At them, all right, now, end in that envelope you Hello, princhie,
I'm coming in. You have a nice napless hair, and
(26:19):
stop worrying about those old X ray pictures. You'll you'll
probably been needing some brand new ones when you wake up.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Ah, So this is your room, Miss Miller. Don't worry,
I'll un tell you.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
But before I remove the gag from your mouth and
give you a chance to talk back, ha ha, I
want you to listen to a little lecture I've prepared
concerning the folly of trying to blackmail gangsters. Now to
begin with when a Ruth was a skiller like Prench Lassal.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
While it's too bad.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I don't mind the digging so much, but I wish
they'd be a little more gentle when they throw the
track down around the quieting here tonight anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, well it's rain and you know the people they
stay home when it rains.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Hmm, which was quiet last night too, Well, then it

indoors when.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's nice out. Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I see what this business needs is nice intermediate weather.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
But who's going to go on proposition nature.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I'm glad to see you take the ups and downs
of the saluting business philosophically. Mister templar guy, he's got
no philosophy in him. He's got no business in a
slow business. Besides, I don't mind. A couple of quiet nights.
Gives me a chance to catch up on the newspapers.
I wants the headline there. Oh, it's the same thing.
Russia here, Russian, Russian. That other calamity in all the
local one. Oh which frenchy Lassal, that's the former calamity
(01:50):
is near Julius. They're burying us out tomorrow. Well that's
what the cops say, but you don't believe it. The
ignorance believes nothing, mister Templar.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And me I am ignorant.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I have to change your rating on my little list, Judis.
I've mistaken him. March you down as wives in many ways, ignorant,
mister Templer, like, for instance, how do they know?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
How do you mean? How half?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
For six months the cops have been hut and high
and off of this lossal. They got a reservation for
him and sing sing you know, private rule and a.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Chair that's equipped with a Belgian toaster.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, they're gonna fry him and believing nobody deserves it better.
And they finally find this prince less sad you see,
he's dead in the river. Three weeks in the river
mister templar, So how do they know, you mean, a
man doesn't look like he used to look after three
unhealthy weeks in the huts. And that's my point, it
ain't did. I think the cops maybe doing it on purpose,
(02:42):
But you know what.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
They make sometimes mistakes, not very often, but.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Sometimes in as certain of paper. He didn't even have
no fingerprints left, you know, three weeks in the river. No,
but you forget he was wearing a ring that less
how always wore. The scraps of clothing were definitely established
as less sounds, and the shoes and oh there were
a few other things. Yeah, but Julius, a scientist can
really construct the face and body of a man did
(03:06):
almost a million years just from.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
A couple of bleached bones.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well, they say that this is what the fella looked
like a million years ago.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
But you and me, we gotta tell a noel or
a fellow.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Maybe you're a syny, because I, mister tapla, just ignorant.
What's the difference.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
They say that it's Frenchie LaSala putting on the tomorrow.
It's all right, it's Frenchy la Sala by meat.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Too good, night, Julius.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well, I, mister Tapla, hey, that headache you as you
should put it to bed on a rainy night like this.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That's exactly what I'm going to do with my headache
and with the rest of me too.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh no, no, all right, all right, at please slip
the doorbell, go back to sleep, can't you now?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What's all this you?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Simon Templar, Yes, but Simon Templar, who is known as
the same.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Look here, what is that we'd like to come in?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Come on in, Mabel.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I'm right with you, n this is a nice joint.
Business must be good.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
See here, would you do? Please?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Oh you're the thing, the same.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Look.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I never give autographs, and if I did, it wouldn't
be at two in the morning.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Oh, we couldn't make it any earlier. The same, you know, Midge,
he's cute. Look who are you to We're angel?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Angel.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Julius was right. I should never have had scotch on
top of champagne, So you're angel.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Uh huh. That's why we couldn't get here any sooner.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You mean you had a rough crossing?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
No, not especially. There's never much traffic at this hour,
and we didn't have to wait very long for the
bus either. Did we need five minutes the bus?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You mean there's a bus between here and there?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Perhaps fourteen? You change at Union Square? Of course the
subway is quicker that Harry doesn't like for ethangels to
ride the subways till late at night. Harry Satan, I boss.
We call him Harry. It's a templar.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You're all right, you tell me?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I mean, no, what do you pinching yourself like that poem?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Can't you see that I'm trying to wake myself up?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Oh you seem awakened up to me, doesn't he? Mabel?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:23):
But well, miss Temple, what are you looking so unhappy?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Don't angels ever have nightmares? Sure?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Why?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Sometimes I.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
O n Do you know what I think? What Mabel?
I think he thinks we think we're a real angel. Mabel,
why do we tell the girl, Miss Tembla? Honestly, for
your own private InfoNation, we are positively not real angels.
I mean, not the kind that you find in heaven
(05:53):
for instance. No, no, we're Satan's angels.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh no, oh you've.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Heard of us, of course, not since the last time
I read Dances Inferno.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Don't you like music.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Of course I like music, But what on that tampler?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Satan's Angel or putting it another way, Harry Satan and
his All Gurl orchestra.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh, for the love of you're an orchestra.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Huh huh, Tennis Sacks, faith Tuba.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
It's a good thing. Neither of you said the harp.
We've been for another round of confusion. Look, girls, I'm
not feeling very well at the moment, so and I.
One day you wouldn't mind continuing.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
This key templer?
Speaker 5 (06:29):
We have a problem.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Take it to PHILSPERTOWNI and after we came.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
All the way across town following our last performance at
the Paradise Paradise.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Look, let's not start that stuff again.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
We need your hair, we really do.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
But I don't know anything about your music, I miss.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Oh, we didn't come to see you about our music.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
No, it's something worse, much worse.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
What could it be worse?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
A second trombone has disappeared, completely vanished.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh it'll turn up in some porn shop, I'm sure.
And if it doesn't, why not all chip in and
buy another one and let me go back to bid.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
But it isn't an it it's as she our second trombone,
Mary Miller, and she's disappeared.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I see.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Tell me, have you ever heard of a thriving little
institution known as the Missing Person's Bureau?
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yeah, we call them. They won't handle it. They said
they don't consider Mary missing just because she's been gone
one and a half day.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Good for them. I'm glad to see they're alert down there.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
But it isn't like Mary, not at all. It may
be only one and a half days to ordinary people,
but to us, it's fourteen performances she's been missing, and
Mary never missed a performance in all the six months
she's been with the band.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
I see, you must help us. You must wear Frankie.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yes, I was afraid you were.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Please please help us.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Look, ladies, just because a girl trombone player has been
missing for thirty six.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Hours thirty seven now, okay, okay, I'll tell you what
I'll do.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Made you hear he's gonna do something?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well, if you will get out of here and let
me get back to bed and remove myself with this headache,
I promise you the first thing tomorrow I'll visit you
at the theater and look into this trombone business.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Oh, is any wonderful. It's the paradise, the one on
the east side, the paradise.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Ah, is it two pm?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I'll be there now. Good night, please, good night, and
give my love to the rest of the angels.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Oh no, no, not those two again. All right, all right,
all right, angel for Heaven's sake, girls, I don't look
like girls, do I. As a matter of fact, you
don't look like anything I've ever seen before. Come in
and say, come on, might be different. What's the gun for?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Ugly you?
Speaker 3 (08:59):

Mason's and Dames. I mean them angels keep clear, saying
tell them don't or looking for now missing Dames saying
he won't be finding out trouble you get it on.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
The general drift. You know what, I'm beginning to think
I know you from somewhere.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, then it's time to stop thinking the face is familiar,
but I can't seem to place the nose. Now I've
got I'll lose it. That nose was flat the last
time I swigned.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
About a year ago. So you've brought yourself a new schnuzzle.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Jake, the names Jorge. The name's Jake, Jake Fario. You
work for French Lassa. I drop it ahead of his artool.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Record a saint.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
But right now is when you're gonna start feeling sorry.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
You wasn't born dumb. I standing where your.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Knocket out of here? Wait, well.
Speaker 3 (10:17):

mister Satan. That's right, My name's Temper.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Hey, did you catch a show.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
As a matter of fact, mister Satan, we mighted.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
The people today might at him almost as big as
that day in thebuke.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
There you hear that applause?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
But uh huh, I heard it.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Well, we'll improve.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
That's a great little off that I got here, a
great bunch of girls. You should have caught us that
day in debut.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
You just should have called it.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Maybe next time. There's the same thing I wanted to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Look pale, If it's about them payments for those arrange.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I'm not collecting bills. I'm I'm looking for a girl.
So it's like that. I know, it's like this. I
understand your second trombone players missing.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Eh second trump? Hey, your nuts, this is news to you.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Mary'd never miss a performance, lost conscientious girl in the band,
loves music, the only one in the whole outfit who does.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Why was she behind her trombone? Just now?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
You meaning a show? We just not give?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Man Sean, you're the leader, don't you know?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Well there's sometimes you know, I.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Yeah, come in, yeah, hell you did come a promise.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Hey wait a minute, Look, how come I don't know
about this guy?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
It happened as yet and we put in the racing pool.
And that's how come? It's the temper. What can we do?
Where can we begin?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Well, then you and mister Satan can start the ball
game by telling me a few things about the lady
everything I know. First, did you seem worried about anything
these last few days?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Nervous? But have to frightened?
Speaker 5 (12:03):
It's hard to tell.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Well, Mary's such a quiet girl. I became her roommate
when she joined the Angels about six months ago, and
even living with her I never really.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Felt I knew her.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
I see, not that I didn't try to know her.
I myself am a rather friendly person.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Anybody, Harry shut up.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Of course, Mary was always nice and sweet to everyone,
and such a perfect little lady and all. But yet
what well, every now and then something sort of well,
sort of tough like seemed to show up in her, Harry,
I wanted you your butt out, And she seemed like
she was carrying secrets, mister Temples deep sorrowful one. Of course,
(12:49):
I never asked.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Her to elucidate much.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Where was she from?
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Well, that was one of the secrets. Every time I
asked her, she'd make what she didn't hear me?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
But you should know me.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah, I don't know anything, not anything period.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
What did you do before she became one of Satan?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
I don't know that either.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Didn't she tell you anything of what she'd been doing before?
What orchestra she's been playing with? For example?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
No, I never asked, And if I did ask, I
don't remember. And if I asked, if she told me,
I don't remember that either.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
If she was a hush you'd remember, if she was
a hook, you'd even know how many hands hi her grandmother.
Was you remember everything?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, remember everything? You see how it is, Pally.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Most guys go through life getting egged by just one
of them, But not Harry Satan.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I got a hook up with twenty two.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
You know something I think I will be saying your
Pally Remember her name, Harry.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
St He's such a lovable jack.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I'd be a little more inclined to go along with
you on that if he were a little less inclined
to hiding things.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Do you think he's holding out something about Mary?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I'm sure of it. Tell me did you go through
her belongings?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Oh? Why?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
I wouldn't dream of such as say be said. She
doesn't have very much to go through.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I don't take a look myself later. Did you take
anything with her?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Not so much as a toothbrush, not even a fresh.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yes, Michael, come on, what happened? Oh, Harry?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Who shot you? Harry? I don't know. I didn't see.
Came through the window.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
See get a doctor, No, no doctor? The peal about Mary? Yes,
if you don't, if you don't find her, don't killer?
Who why?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Look? I know I've killer and I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
But she's a good kid, only one mistake, only one mistake.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Ship Oh.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Harry, oh Harry, oh em he's dead.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Our room is down the middle of the hall, mister
templar this way, I see, I thank you.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
It's a real cheesy hotel. But even sharing a room,
Mary and I could just barely afford.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Oh here we are.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Well at least the door works.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
It's what, mister Chandler.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Just look, you haven't been entertaining any tornadoes like the
head on?
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Well, I never Who could have done such a thing?
Who could have torn our room apart like this?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
It was looking for something, obviously. What that is? Point
number one? Point number two is did he find it? Hello?
What's this?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (15:51):
That's Mary's first aid kid, you know Bonnage's nies on
and heaven knows what else.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's rather professional looking, wouldn't you say?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Mary never went traveling anywhere about it? Why anytime any
of us girls cut a fingernail too close so got
a little burned from the curly eye, there was Mary.
Make him like Florence Nightingale. I see, Harry used to
poor Harry, He used to say, having Mary with the
orchestra was like having a doctor in that you weren't listening.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Is this Mary?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Uh huh?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
That's me on the left. Midge took it last month.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Oh look at this room.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
What on earth could anyone have been looking for in here?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I wish I knew, Mabel, But I do know this.
Whatever it was, he didn't find it, you can tell.
But how the wallpaper? See how I ripped it off
in places, places that make no sense because there's no
possible hiding place behind where the paper was.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
But so why?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
It was an act of frustration not finding what he
was after in any of the probable places he looked to,
lost his head and started on the improbable one.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
And began to tear down the wall.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Oh, I'd like to get my hands on him, just
for one little minute.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
So I.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But not because of the wallpaper, for what he did
to Harry. Come on, let's get out of here.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Yes, this room is just altogether too depressed.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Wait a minute, Mabel, Is this Mary's trombone?
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Huh huh?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
They come in two pieces, don't they. The sliding pad
can be slid right off the blowing Pardon?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
What is it?
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Did you find something, mister Temple?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I'll let you know as soon as I work whatever
it is out of there, we are, they've rolled, they're
rolled up.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, i'll be X ray.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Pictures now roll? Would Mary had X ray pictures rolled
up in her trombone?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Because she figured?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
And rightly it seems that her trombone would be the
one place whoever was looking for them wouldn't look.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
But why should anyone just as puzzled as you are.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Mister Temple, you could never be.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Well, of course, I don't know all the registered nurses
in town, mister Temper, but I do have a large
agency and a rather good memory.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And the name Mary Miller rings no bells, missus Soyerland.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
I'm sorry, I'd like to help you.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Perhaps one of the other nurses' agency.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Perhaps, or perhaps Mary Miller was known as something else,
or perhaps she wasn't a nurse at all.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Oh you're not sure then that she would? M No.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I looked into a box and found a hunch a
bah yes, a first aid kid, one that seemed just
a trifle to elaborate for a simple citizen to open. Oh,
I see you're sure that the snapshot doesn't uh.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
M no, doesn't look like any of the nurses at
this age. Hmm.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I wonder would you mind wondering out loud? Please?
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Course her hair was dark. Oo if I could just
see this girl as a brunette.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Oh that's easy. Why you go to Antoine's when you
have templar the picture please? And that soft pencil while
I met to myself? Is brunette?
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Now? Why it is?
Speaker 6 (19:02):
It's Mary Webster.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
You say that name with an exclamation point after.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
It, several exclamation points go on. She was doctor Burton's nurse,
and so you don't recall doctor Burton. He was quite notorious.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
What did you do flunk his cigarette? Turst?
Speaker 8 (19:18):
He had some rather interesting patients, mister Templar, the underworld
hoodlums and gangsters. Uh oh, and a remarkable if rather
specialized specialty hum bullets, that's right, gunshot wounds, wounds caused
by hand grenades, knifings.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
And he just never bothered to report any of his
patient's battle wounds to the police as the required by law.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Huh, that's right. He died in prison shortly after his conviction.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And Mary uh Miller or Webster's the case, may be also.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Sent to prison, but with a light sentence, and of
course her license was revoked.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
She had to give up nursing when she got out.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
And so she became a trombone player and a collector.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Oh what does she collect, mister Templer?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
X ray pictures, old and rare ones. It sounds like
a dull hobby, I admit, but I think there's money
in it. Well, Raymond, very interesting X ray plate Simon.
But what am I supposed to do about him? Just
(20:21):
tell me about them, doctor Simon. I'm a physician employed
by the office of the City Medical Examiner. You know
I'm not allowed to give private consultations.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Here.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I think this consultation might develop into a rather public one.
It's a riddle you're making. I'm trying to make answers,
my friend, not riddles.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Very well.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
There are pictures of a shin bone, that's all.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That's all.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Well, slightly different sort of a shinbone. You see right here,
this darker portion through here.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
It's a silver plate and evidently was in an accident
of some sort or he was shocked. Yes, yes, a
bullet would just about break off that amount of bonne.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It might have been shot.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Any house physicianer placed the missing bone of the silver plate.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
It's done all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Have you done any autopsies around here lately on a
body with a silver shinbone. Doctor, No, what are you
trying to find out? Simon?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
What about frenchy Lasal Lasal? I did that out of
sea myself. No silver plates. Then it wasn't LaSalle they
buried this morning?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
What Simon? You crazy?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That body they dragged out of the river, checked up
his lacelle on at least a dozen points, planted points.
The body was dressed up to give that impression before
it was dumped into the river. Ah Uh, it's simple enough.
Trench's body comes out of the river and into a
grave and the police closed the files on frenchship.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
The heat is off and Lassal beats the chair.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I'll harry and all what that? These X ray pictures
show la sal shinburn. A killer named Jake Florio, who
used to be French's right arm told me not to
go looking for a missing girl named Mary Miller.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Mm.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Either you have too much imagination or I don't have enough.
Mary worked for the doctor who did the operation on
this leg. She's probably one of the few living persons
who knows that Larsan has a silver plate to his
shin and she had the X rays to prove it.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
So.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
So if the man buried to day in French in
Nassau's bad name didn't have a silver plate in his leg,
then the smeller girl had some pretty important information. Why
didn't she come GIRs with it? Because she wanted more
than to be paid off with a with a thank you.
She isn't that good a citizen. You think she tried
to shake down herself, and I think Larsan refused to
(22:45):
shake his probably this very moment, twisting her arm, trying
to make her tell where these pictures are. I can
see where he'd consider them important. They're the only thing
in this world that can prove he's still alive and
still a candidate for the electric chair.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Yes, it's Abel and me mid.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Hello girls. It's always nice to welcome a couple of angels.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Mister Templer.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
We would like to know what, if anything, you are doing.
We insist on knowing.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
As a matter of fact, I was reading a.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Book, reading a book, mister Templer.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
It's called in one head and out the other. Very amusing,
full of laughs.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
You can laugh at a time like this before Mary's
still among the Missy, and poor Harry among the murder.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
WI shouldn't you be out looking?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
That's exactly what I would be doing if I went
at home, waiting, waiting for what. I expect that at
any moment the doorbell will ring and a man named
Jake Florio will be among us.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
For what may I ask? Just to kill me, mister
Templar at a time like that, you kill you.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Mister Templor, No, don't let me.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I'll do my best. Want to kill you for the
same reason he killed Harry Satan.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I know too much about Mary Miller, and knowing too
much about Mary, He's afraid, might lead me to knowing
just enough about French LASSU.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
I don't understand you.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
It's healthier that way, mister Templer.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Are you sure that explore your person is coming?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Not positive? But it figures that he should.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
But shouldn't you do something to protect your ta?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I have.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
You get in the other room? Do as I say?
Speaker 4 (24:32):
All right? Yes? Our a gram well hello, saying why.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
It isn't a telegram at all? It's Jake Fourrio, and
I'll bet you've come.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
To shoot me.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I'm inside saying come on, come on.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Anything to oblige a man with a thirty.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Eight I warned you not to poke around, saying, you
know what happens the smart guys who can't take a suggestion.
M Well, Simon, did they do it? Is?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
He told me to.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
The operation is a complete success, doctor, and now let's
bring him back to life for a while so he
can tell us where French lusus hiding. I'm all right,
I'm all right doctor. I'd like you to meet a
couple of angels.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
How do you do?
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Hello? Teenage?
Speaker 5 (25:21):
He's cute, Yes he is.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I have been. I've never noticed before, Simon, who is there? Delivery?
Speaker 4 (25:40):
You got on the popa mount? I'm not expecting anything.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I guess mister Florie must have given us the wrong address.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Where are you from?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Made laboratories? I have got some X ray pictures here.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Great picture and told you to bring them here.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, but I guess I got the wrong address, so I'll.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Just be wait. Maybe I ought to take a look.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
At them, all right, now, end in that envelope you Hello, princhie,
I'm coming in. You have a nice napless hair, and
(26:19):
stop worrying about those old X ray pictures. You'll you'll
probably been needing some brand new ones when you wake up.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Ah, So this is your room, Miss Miller. Don't worry,
I'll un tell you.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
But before I remove the gag from your mouth and
give you a chance to talk back, ha ha, I
want you to listen to a little lecture I've prepared
concerning the folly of trying to blackmail gangsters. Now to
begin with when a Ruth was a skiller like Prench Lassal.
