Speaker 2 (00:53):
Would you like Simon coffee?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Madam? No, thank you, Jesdin.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Excuse me, I'll see who's at the door.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Coming, Chester?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I answered the doorbell, Madam, No one, mad him.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
It's silly.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Someone rang, someone rang, Madam, But you see there's no
one at the door, no one at all.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I suppose it could have been children playing pranks.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Perhaps so, madam, and shut the door, Chester, Yes, made
at your feet on the doorstep.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Oh, it seems to be a package of some sort.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Pick it up, Yes, madam, don't give it to me.
I'm sorry, Chester, but shut the door.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Come along in here now open that package? Yes, well,
haven't you finished yet?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
In a moment? Eh, what is it? You have only
to look, madam?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And nothing important? Madam? Only a red rose, a red road.
Mister templar, how do you find the roster beef? Very
easily make the joke.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
You're making a joke, ilim I laugh from missus Mutooci.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
She's a very hap No, who is missus Mottoochi? That's
my wife.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Well, I'm glad I make your wife happy. Perhaps when
we get around to the dessert, I can make your
children happy too.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
No, God, the children.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Oh that's too bad. But perhaps by the time we
get around to the dessert. No, not enough time.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
However, mister Temporary, you maybe expected a lady.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I always hope.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
But what lady is the one that she's over a
corner table with very beautiful lives corner table. Yeah, now
that you mention it, you're quite right. She has lovely eyes.
But I wasn't expecting her, not until Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
At any rate. She's a watch all. Perhaps there's something
fascinating about the back of my neck.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
There must to be so, because so now the ladys
gets up, and where do you think she got.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
To this table? Yes? Mm, well goodbye Tony, Oh so goodbye.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
To Simon Temper, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yes? I am?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
May I sit down? Of course, I'm Laura Kane.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
How do you do? Would you like something to drink?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Now?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
A drink? Wouldn't help, or perhaps I could.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm pretty desperate.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
I'm very beautiful, thank you, But you didn't come to
my table to hear me say that.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
No, mister Templer, you see I know about you.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's probably an exaggeration.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You're the saint.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yes, it is an exaggeration, and.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I need help, desperately, help about what, mister templar look hm.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
And I think for a couple of reasons, you'd better
specify what I'm to look at.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh at my shoulder, my left shoulder.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Very pretty. There's a red rose bin doing.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's what I need help about the rose.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
And I know very little about flowers, except that they're
beautiful and are very often sent to beautiful women.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
As someone who never sent his name by some one
who sees to it that they're delivered secretly with no
word at night.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That is rather unusual.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Frightens me.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Perhaps the roses is sent by an admirer of yours,
a very shy admirers.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
I thought that at first, but not any more. No
matter how shy a man might be, it's not easy
for any one to sneak into a house night after night.
I'm seen, unheard. It can't be shyness. Well, perhaps not
takes cunning determination. There's more too. Yes, my first husband
was killed a number of years ago. The police never
found out who killed him. When his body was found,
(04:33):
mister Templar, there was a red rose pinned to his shoulder.
Mister Templar. Yes, do you think I'm being hysterical about this? I?
I mean, am I attaching too much importance to something
that might be harmless?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't know too many unknown factors? You married again,
didn't you? Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
To Henry last year?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Did he know about your first husband?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Of course your husband's at home, No, which isn't unusual. Oh,
he's away most of the time.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
He likes to travel, climb mountains and things like that,
and you I don't like climbing mountains much.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
How about your husband?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I don't like him much either, I see, do you?
He's very rich?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I suppose in view of your sentiment, he'd have to be.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And he is away lot.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
So there are servants, well, only Chester the butler. Does
he know about the roses?
Speaker 6 (05:27):
He knows I've been getting him. I don't think he
knows about their connection with my first husband, which is
just as well.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I don't think he admires me, and then why do
you keep him mind?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Henry insists Henry's very much attached to Chester, and Chester
makes a good watch dog.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Okay, this is where I live.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Eh. It's a large house.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You're being kind.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
It's not only large, it's horrible belong to Henry's family
for hundreds and hundreds of years.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I sometimes get the feeling all of them are still
living in it with us.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Uh no lights in the house. Oh.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Chester likes to go to bed early, and he's careful
about saving Henry's money as well as his reputation. He
always goes about turning lights off.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You must make the house a very cheery plays.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It does its cheery as a tomb i.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
You know I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Afraid to go in.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Ring Chester wouldn't like being waked.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
You asked me to come home with you because you
were afraid your unknown admirer, the man who's been sending
you the roses, might be waiting for you.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Well, I could go in alone, and I'm being silly.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
The light switches to your right.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So right.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Anyway, there's no one in the foyer. I'm I'm counting
my blessings as they come along.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Where are the roses usually left.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Sometimes on the doorstep, mostly though in the living room,
on a table there.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
And then suppose we try the living room.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yes, wait, the land's right near the door.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I'll get it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
There's nothing on the table, no.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Roses, no roses. But Missus Kane, what on the couch
in the far corner?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Flord'sa there?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
They never th.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Henry, stay where you are? This is Kane.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Who please, mister Timpers, please tell me he's alright.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
I'm afraid I can't, Missus Kane. Yes, yes, there's a
knife buried in his chest.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
He's dead.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Oh no, mister Tumbler, Yes.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
I know, Missus Kane. Your husband is holding a red rose.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
Oh, I get my friends over here, mister Tumbler over there?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Alright? We uh wanna be alone. I don't break this case.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'm liable to wind up being alone someplace out in
Staten Island.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
A Kaye was a very rich boy. Very rich don't like.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
To get murdered, and like the poor. You mean the
same difference, except around dumps like this. The CoP's gotta
be careful. I look, templar, we got your story and
the babes.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Missus Kane is a very beautiful and need I remind
you a very wealthy woman.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
If she's a babe. We got your stories translated. That
means we got a couple of pages of nothing. How
did you happen to know that her first husband got
himself knocked off too?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I didn't happen to know, she told me.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I suppose maybe that's a market of favor. But uh,
how do you like the butler Chester?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Well? I don't know. I never met him. I mean
he's a suspect.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
I never like Butler's his aspect, old fashioned.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
He lives here, except he don't seem to be living
here anymore. Uh, it makes sense to me whatever it
does to you. And the thing I'm worried about is
was his disappearance a coincidence or would it be because
he stuck the knife in the boss? I wouldn't know,
of course, if we figure him for the kill, and
it wouldn't make everybody very happy except Chester.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, well, I we'll find him.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Well one the more up to do around here, So
I guess I'll pull the boys. I'll go back to
my pinknockle game. Hey, you stand one mm for awhile.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
That you would think that would own these consolations. Lieutenant,
you are a cat.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
If nobody ever confused me with a gentleman, anybody ever
confused you with a sat But.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's nice of you to even consider the possibility. Uh
uh uh a good night though.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Alright, boys, go home, Simon.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I'm still here.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
It was nice of you to stay, and the police
were very nice.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Why not get to bed now? Mm there's nothing to
be done.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Tonight, Simon, do they really think Chester killed my husband?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Chester would never have harmed Henry?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And then I'd leaves.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
Chester with a job on his hands explaining his disappearance.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
But that's his problem.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I suppose. I am tired, Simon.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Well i'll go, but Laura, yes, I don't think he'll
show up. I'm not talking yet Rochester.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Hee, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Well, you've been waiting for someone all evening.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Every time the front door opened, even though the police
were here, you grew tense.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Expectant was fairly obvious.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Lot you're imagining things.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Alright, Peress, I good night, good.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Night, silence, and thanks for any well.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I didn't do anything I wish I could have prevented.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Oh, try and get some speak h hour phone in
the morning, thank you son.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
Him.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Mister Templing, Oh hello, Joe Lie Tenant left you on guard.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Huh yeah, me, I'd be happier was I inside. Oh
the weather out here now, the lady in that huh
oh uh that's life and practically in the raw too. Eh,
good night, And I, mister templar ms Temple, what uh quick?
(10:56):
Get in the car? Do hurry?
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Oh alright, cause I might be walking into the lion's den.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Good heavens do I look like a lion? No? No,
much more like a lamb, So I've been told.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
At better be getting away a readful house.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I never could stand beyond the kittim horrible.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Yeah, not to mention the policeman out front. Uh please,
that's not all right. And mister Temple, you're quite a
detective anjou, but not exactly a detective, but you do
detect every once in a while. Don't know when I
can't help myself.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
Why when you see I drove up the house and
noticed hordes, but hords a policeman outside. I'd been expecting
to drop in on Laura and and share a cup.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Of tea with the Champagne would seem to be more
in Laura's line.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well, I don't mind a bit of my myself. You know,
however I'm dabbling.
Speaker 10 (11:44):
Why what I mean to say is with all those
policemen around, I thought it's hardly wise to visit m
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
No, Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
I've been terribly rude. And my name's Gordon Eshington. My
friends call me Gordy. Well I'll try to resist, but
you haven't told me yet. Whatever has happened? Well that
dear Laura's, of course, Well it's dear Henry's too, you
know what is dear Laura's house. Oh well, yes, of course,
But why think of nasty things.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Because they've become even nastier. What a person you trying
to say? Dear Henry is dead?
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Well it's most distressing, of course, But dear Henry is
not only dead, he was murdered. Oh, Dear Laura shouldn't
have that. Oh that is what makes you think Laura
did I.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I didn't say I. I I do not think that,
uh Laura did anything of the sort. I Oh, I
just remembered a terribly important engagement. You will excuse me
going to or if you can get a cab right
at the corner oh, yes, of course.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Uh, mister Ashington, Yes, that engagement you just remembered what
I'd be very careful keeping it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Oh nonsense, it's a business engagement. Might be the making
of me. Perhaps, on the other hand, it might be
the death of you. M Alexander Graham Bell. You may
(13:15):
wrote hello, mister Templar, mister Simon Templar.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
I was satisfying a morbid curiosity or addicted to practical jokes.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I realized it's very late, sir, But I'm Chester.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Mister temple Chester the butler, Yes, sir. The police, I'm afraid,
are more interested in you than I am.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I don't dare go to them.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Why not? They must think I murdered mister Kane, did you?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Of course not?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But then why didn't you stay at the house?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Because the murderer was there?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
The murderer being I.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I didn't see him.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I heard mister Kane cry out, and then horrible sounds
that I heard steps.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Coming toward me, So you ran, yes, sir, Well why
have you called me?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Because I knew missus Kane had spoken to you about
the roses.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
How did you know that? But she she.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Told me she was going to tell you.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
That is what do you want me to do? Help
me prove my innst Then you'd better come here.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Oh I can't. I'm afraid to leave.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Where are you?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Mister Keane had a small hunting lodge. That's where I am.
It's on Presley Road, just across the George Washington Bridge
ORF Highway twelve. I don't dare I coming to.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The city, mister Temple, I see, but got.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
To help me. I don't wanna be murdered.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Alright, then I'll be out there as soon as I can.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Thank you, sir. Please, honey, I'd like to be alive
when you come.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
It's a temple up.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yes, you're right, so you explained everything, but it still
doesn't seem right in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Nobody takes their taxi to no Joyson, but I have.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Yeah, that's what bothers me. Also, it's my taxi. You
know something is start in the Jersey.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, that happens in New York too, Yeah, but it's
more like home there here. It don't make me feel good.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
You're not proposed to feel good. We're on our way
to help a man whose life may be in danger.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Oh no, I feel worse. Well, just Poppler Chester proposal.
He killed mister Kane himself, so from whom.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Would he be in danger for? But he may not
have killed Kane.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Louis sort of let him stay in no joy, No, no,
he was in the house when Kane was murdered.
Speaker 11 (15:13):
Yeah, but he didn't see the killer if you tell him.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
The proof, that's right, Louise, Except the killer may not
know that. Oh this year is the place, yes, cabin
set back from the road.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Come on, mister, I should have rung my elephant jug
if I had elephant. Un we're not hunting elephants. There
could be a lot safer than I want. We're doing
its fat. Don't complain this to think to please. It
sounds you're liable to hear out from this wilderness, and
that sounds I want to hear the lengths in the cabin.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Maybe Chester went to Pennsylvania's and it's the templates a joke.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
See there's a town in Pennsylvania called chest Yeah, all right,
see it was.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
So I'll let you hear my feet, Ketter, you gonna knock,
of course?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Who who's there?
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Simon Tempter, Chester and Louis and Louis.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Coming please quickie I haven't stared to put the lights
on in this room. It faces the road. Will you
come with me? Oh?
Speaker 10 (16:33):
I shouldn't have had the lights on here in the
kitchen either, but I was afraid to wait the dark.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Is anyone likely to suspect you may have come here?
I don't know. I can't even thank mister Temple. You're
sure you don't know who killed mister Kane. No, I don't.
If I did, I could have gone to the police
and been safe this water. Mister Kane was very well,
very wasn't he, yes, sir?
Speaker 7 (16:51):
And Missus Kane, well, she was married to mister Kane,
so I meant in her own ride.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I don't think so, Sir. Kane wasn't home very much
at the time. No, sir, Why well, he wasn't really
happy in his manage. It could have divorced his wife.
Will not mister Kane, Sir, he couldn't have endured the scandal.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Asked seeing Chester that name? You can't think of the
killer's name? Could it possibly be Gordon Ashington?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
What does mister Ashington do besides have tea with Missus Kane.
He raises flower, Sir, he has a conservatory album. All
Now things interested?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Among those flowers? Could there possibly be roses? Roses? Yes,
you know what they are of? Courser?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Would then suppose you answered my question right, I should
imagine he raised roses, sir, Chester, Yes, sir, I'm having
unkind thoughts about you.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
What do you mean, mister Temple? I think, for example,
that you know who killed mister Kane. Who.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
I think also that your original intention was to keep
quiet about that knowledge until the.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Case had been closed is unsolved. What why would I
do a thing like that?
Speaker 7 (17:55):
It's an ugly word, Chester, but I'm afraid I'll have
to use it blackmail for that. That's ridiculous now for
an innocent man. There's no explanation of your behavior that
holds water. I was afraid mister Kane was nice to death.
The room in which he died showed no signs of struggle.
Therefore you couldn't have heard the murder. You must have
seen it. No, Sir, your story about fleeing from mysterious
(18:16):
footsteps is childish. According to your own story, you had
no way of knowing whose.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They were, or even who had been killed.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
An honest man in your circumstances would simply have run
out into the street and yelled for help. You didn't
now who killed mister Kane jesters, I don't know. Would
you prefer dying alongside the murderers an accessory after the fact?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Very well?
Speaker 7 (18:40):
She I did see you. Who Wait if that window
Chester you were near, the lamp turned off? Huh turn
it off?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
He didn't turn it up.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Now, bullet did it for him? Came through that window.
We can find the door.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
In this confounded darkness. Yeah, yeah, here it is. Ooh ooh,
there was a car. Killer's car were too late, Lois Fry.
Let's go back in.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Yeah, there's another lamp around. Wait strike a match please,
huh okay, mister Temple. Yeah, and here it is, mister Templar,
I know Lewis. Two of the bullets hit him.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Ooh, ain't gonna bustle no more?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Huh No.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
His second murder seen in two days, but in this
one he played the title role.
Speaker 11 (19:32):
M Hey, you almost the template and know Jersey Cops
wasn't bad. You know, if I'd have shut my eyes,
I could almost have imagined there was New.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
York Cops just closed to show you, to show you
what the crossing your river, don't change your cop.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I'm taking you home.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
No, Lewis, Ah, missus Kane, if you don't mind, I mind.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Look here's the temple.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Maybe she's beautiful, but right now I could easily spine.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Even Helen of Troy.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
And from what I hear from the boy, she will be.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
All time to make it. You hear right?
Speaker 5 (20:10):
How do you know you was around while she was
still on the vine?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Louis?
Speaker 7 (20:13):

Okay you wait here? Cry well? That way I get
to see her too.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Hey, you know something.

I'm afraid I do. She's gone, that's right, But how
did I know? I get she shouldn't adopt.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
R I'm supposed to protect her. Hey, he mister temple,
where you going? Believe it or not, Joe, I'm going
to pick a few flowers.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
That would be the greenhouses over there really are interested
in flowers over the square small house, but Gordon lives.
I should think it was a light on it here.
And now let's see how quietly I can open the
door m M, very quietly, but very bad man as
made it is? Who going money?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Now? It's the temple. I know I can get a
class A law.
Speaker 12 (21:54):
You wore the police people to say, thine O, you's
in gallahander ground and just when they find out you did,
I was here.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Only no Gordy because when I got here I stopped
and touched the hood of your car, which was hot.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I've been restless.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
I'm going out here driving Queer to Gordon. What difference
does it make their I I haven't trust become rich
because of the murdering as I have. I'll true and
not for the first time. You knew about my first
segment the roses.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I knew. I didn't.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
And you just be planning on.
Speaker 12 (22:34):
Giving up sawas growing and helping you beare the burden
of your great well Hm for the idea.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I shall tell me this is where we're come in
good evening silence? What the devil you mean by not knocking?
Including eavesdropping. If I'm a cab, you'll never hear me
call you. Gordy.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Better let go of Lara, all right, you can be
so heroic about it. As a matter of fact, I'm
here merely to give you a message, Ellie.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
From whom Chester time and the police have found him.
He's in their hands at the moment, Simon.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
The police won't treat him badly, will they? Because he
didn't kill Henry.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
He didn't kill Henry, and the police won't treat him badly.
I see he's dead, poor old tap. You lack conviction,
mister Ashby, I lack printers.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
After all?
Speaker 7 (23:19):
What was Chester to meath more than you realize, perhap?
You see he was shot to death in front of
Louis and me. He had been in the house when
Henry Kane was murdered. To you who the murderer was?
I still liked him to you certain before he died.
Chester has that name on to me?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
He did? He did? Is that why you're waving? Has
done about? I stopt want to be sure. Listen, I
don't care what Tester said. If he told you I
murdertained you, he was lying. That's it lying. Gordon.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Please put that gun away.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
No, Gordon, don't put the gun away, but stop pointing
it at me. You might try another direction until the
police arrived. Other director, who Missus Kane the poor You see,
she happens to have killed both her husband and Chester assignment.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Oh dear, oh, my Husan's sakes. Don't think till later.
So in the middle of the night, we're sitting in
the restaurant.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
This adds up, It certainly does. Laura Kane interrupted me
earlier tonight.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And I never got to the dessert.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Hey, mister Temple, I know the cops are locked Missus
Cane up, which questionally, I think is a waste and
a kind of how she looks. But look, I can't
believe she killed her husband in the butt, but she
did lose she I'd like to.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Ask you how you know?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Only I don't want to stay Hicko breakfast.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
It's very simple, Lois. Yeah, her motive is obvious. She
did the Gray Kane might divorce her. Therefore she killed
him and hoped to.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Inherit his money, uh huh.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
And the roses and a tempt and Robert the clever
one to direct suspicion at Gordon's She even put on
an act.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
With Chester about the roses.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Ordinarily, if Chester hadn't decided blacknailing it would be more fun.
He'd have testified about the roses routine and helped him
pick Gourdon.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but how now excuse me, but I
think any minute the sun is gonna rise out of.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
You know whoever murdered Chester had been eavesdropt him? And
you said Chester hadn't been given the opportunity to tell
us the murderer's name. Yet when I suggested Chester had
told her.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Gordon got scared and started waving a gun, so you
knew he was innocent.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
And that left missus King a lady whose love was
not at all like a red red rose. You have
been listening to another transcribed adventure of the Saint, the
(25:53):
robin Hood of modern crime.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
And now here is our starve and some price.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
Ladies and gentlemen of us who live in the United
States are aware of the material values of American life,
our factories and machines and luxuries. But there is another
side to American life, a side made up of spiritual values.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Our country was founded upon faith in God.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
In the Declaration of Independence, it states that men were
endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. Thus, religious
faith is part of the very foundation of American democracy
and one of our most precious national heritages is freedom
of worship. Without faith, the family and the community become unstable.
(26:42):
Without faith, the individual denies himself to use and indictments
of religion. The doors of your churches and synagogues are
open to you. The freedom to worship as you please
is yours, and so America's religious organizations invite you to
find George self his faith and to come to church

Madam? No, thank you, Jesdin.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Excuse me, I'll see who's at the door.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Coming, Chester?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I answered the doorbell, Madam, No one, mad him.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
It's silly.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Someone rang, someone rang, Madam, But you see there's no
one at the door, no one at all.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I suppose it could have been children playing pranks.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Perhaps so, madam, and shut the door, Chester, Yes, made
at your feet on the doorstep.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Oh, it seems to be a package of some sort.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Pick it up, Yes, madam, don't give it to me.
I'm sorry, Chester, but shut the door.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Come along in here now open that package? Yes, well,
haven't you finished yet?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
In a moment? Eh, what is it? You have only
to look, madam?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And nothing important? Madam? Only a red rose, a red road.
Mister templar, how do you find the roster beef? Very
easily make the joke.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
You're making a joke, ilim I laugh from missus Mutooci.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
She's a very hap No, who is missus Mottoochi? That's
my wife.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Well, I'm glad I make your wife happy. Perhaps when
we get around to the dessert, I can make your
children happy too.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
No, God, the children.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Oh that's too bad. But perhaps by the time we
get around to the dessert. No, not enough time.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
However, mister Temporary, you maybe expected a lady.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I always hope.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
But what lady is the one that she's over a
corner table with very beautiful lives corner table. Yeah, now
that you mention it, you're quite right. She has lovely eyes.
But I wasn't expecting her, not until Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
At any rate. She's a watch all. Perhaps there's something
fascinating about the back of my neck.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
There must to be so, because so now the ladys
gets up, and where do you think she got.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
To this table? Yes? Mm, well goodbye Tony, Oh so goodbye.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
To Simon Temper, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yes? I am?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
May I sit down? Of course, I'm Laura Kane.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
How do you do? Would you like something to drink?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Now?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
A drink? Wouldn't help, or perhaps I could.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm pretty desperate.
Speaker 7 (03:24):
I'm very beautiful, thank you, But you didn't come to
my table to hear me say that.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
No, mister Templer, you see I know about you.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's probably an exaggeration.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You're the saint.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yes, it is an exaggeration, and.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I need help, desperately, help about what, mister templar look hm.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
And I think for a couple of reasons, you'd better
specify what I'm to look at.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh at my shoulder, my left shoulder.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Very pretty. There's a red rose bin doing.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's what I need help about the rose.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
And I know very little about flowers, except that they're
beautiful and are very often sent to beautiful women.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
As someone who never sent his name by some one
who sees to it that they're delivered secretly with no
word at night.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That is rather unusual.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Frightens me.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Perhaps the roses is sent by an admirer of yours,
a very shy admirers.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
I thought that at first, but not any more. No
matter how shy a man might be, it's not easy
for any one to sneak into a house night after night.
I'm seen, unheard. It can't be shyness. Well, perhaps not
takes cunning determination. There's more too. Yes, my first husband
was killed a number of years ago. The police never
found out who killed him. When his body was found,
(04:33):
mister Templar, there was a red rose pinned to his shoulder.
Mister Templar. Yes, do you think I'm being hysterical about this? I?
I mean, am I attaching too much importance to something
that might be harmless?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't know too many unknown factors? You married again,
didn't you? Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
To Henry last year?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Did he know about your first husband?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Of course your husband's at home, No, which isn't unusual. Oh,
he's away most of the time.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
He likes to travel, climb mountains and things like that,
and you I don't like climbing mountains much.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
How about your husband?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I don't like him much either, I see, do you?
He's very rich?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I suppose in view of your sentiment, he'd have to be.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And he is away lot.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
So there are servants, well, only Chester the butler. Does
he know about the roses?
Speaker 6 (05:27):
He knows I've been getting him. I don't think he
knows about their connection with my first husband, which is
just as well.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I don't think he admires me, and then why do
you keep him mind?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Henry insists Henry's very much attached to Chester, and Chester
makes a good watch dog.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Okay, this is where I live.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Eh. It's a large house.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You're being kind.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
It's not only large, it's horrible belong to Henry's family
for hundreds and hundreds of years.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I sometimes get the feeling all of them are still
living in it with us.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Uh no lights in the house. Oh.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Chester likes to go to bed early, and he's careful
about saving Henry's money as well as his reputation. He
always goes about turning lights off.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You must make the house a very cheery plays.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It does its cheery as a tomb i.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
You know I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Afraid to go in.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Ring Chester wouldn't like being waked.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
You asked me to come home with you because you
were afraid your unknown admirer, the man who's been sending
you the roses, might be waiting for you.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Well, I could go in alone, and I'm being silly.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
The light switches to your right.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So right.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Anyway, there's no one in the foyer. I'm I'm counting
my blessings as they come along.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Where are the roses usually left.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Sometimes on the doorstep, mostly though in the living room,
on a table there.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
And then suppose we try the living room.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yes, wait, the land's right near the door.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I'll get it.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
There's nothing on the table, no.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
Roses, no roses. But Missus Kane, what on the couch
in the far corner?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Flord'sa there?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
They never th.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Henry, stay where you are? This is Kane.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Who please, mister Timpers, please tell me he's alright.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
I'm afraid I can't, Missus Kane. Yes, yes, there's a
knife buried in his chest.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
He's dead.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Oh no, mister Tumbler, Yes.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
I know, Missus Kane. Your husband is holding a red rose.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
Oh, I get my friends over here, mister Tumbler over there?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Alright? We uh wanna be alone. I don't break this case.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'm liable to wind up being alone someplace out in
Staten Island.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
A Kaye was a very rich boy. Very rich don't like.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
To get murdered, and like the poor. You mean the
same difference, except around dumps like this. The CoP's gotta
be careful. I look, templar, we got your story and
the babes.
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Missus Kane is a very beautiful and need I remind
you a very wealthy woman.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
If she's a babe. We got your stories translated. That
means we got a couple of pages of nothing. How
did you happen to know that her first husband got
himself knocked off too?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I didn't happen to know, she told me.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I suppose maybe that's a market of favor. But uh,
how do you like the butler Chester?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Well? I don't know. I never met him. I mean
he's a suspect.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
I never like Butler's his aspect, old fashioned.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
He lives here, except he don't seem to be living
here anymore. Uh, it makes sense to me whatever it
does to you. And the thing I'm worried about is
was his disappearance a coincidence or would it be because
he stuck the knife in the boss? I wouldn't know,
of course, if we figure him for the kill, and
it wouldn't make everybody very happy except Chester.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, well, I we'll find him.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Well one the more up to do around here, So
I guess I'll pull the boys. I'll go back to
my pinknockle game. Hey, you stand one mm for awhile.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
That you would think that would own these consolations. Lieutenant,
you are a cat.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
If nobody ever confused me with a gentleman, anybody ever
confused you with a sat But.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's nice of you to even consider the possibility. Uh
uh uh a good night though.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Alright, boys, go home, Simon.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I'm still here.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
It was nice of you to stay, and the police
were very nice.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Why not get to bed now? Mm there's nothing to
be done.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Tonight, Simon, do they really think Chester killed my husband?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Chester would never have harmed Henry?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And then I'd leaves.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
Chester with a job on his hands explaining his disappearance.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
But that's his problem.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I suppose. I am tired, Simon.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Well i'll go, but Laura, yes, I don't think he'll
show up. I'm not talking yet Rochester.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Hee, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Well, you've been waiting for someone all evening.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Every time the front door opened, even though the police
were here, you grew tense.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Expectant was fairly obvious.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Lot you're imagining things.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Alright, Peress, I good night, good.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Night, silence, and thanks for any well.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I didn't do anything I wish I could have prevented.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Oh, try and get some speak h hour phone in
the morning, thank you son.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
Him.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Mister Templing, Oh hello, Joe Lie Tenant left you on guard.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Huh yeah, me, I'd be happier was I inside. Oh
the weather out here now, the lady in that huh
oh uh that's life and practically in the raw too. Eh,
good night, And I, mister templar ms Temple, what uh quick?
(10:56):
Get in the car? Do hurry?
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Oh alright, cause I might be walking into the lion's den.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Good heavens do I look like a lion? No? No,
much more like a lamb, So I've been told.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
At better be getting away a readful house.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I never could stand beyond the kittim horrible.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Yeah, not to mention the policeman out front. Uh please,
that's not all right. And mister Temple, you're quite a
detective anjou, but not exactly a detective, but you do
detect every once in a while. Don't know when I
can't help myself.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
Why when you see I drove up the house and
noticed hordes, but hords a policeman outside. I'd been expecting
to drop in on Laura and and share a cup.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Of tea with the Champagne would seem to be more
in Laura's line.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well, I don't mind a bit of my myself. You know,
however I'm dabbling.
Speaker 10 (11:44):
Why what I mean to say is with all those
policemen around, I thought it's hardly wise to visit m
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
No, Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
I've been terribly rude. And my name's Gordon Eshington. My
friends call me Gordy. Well I'll try to resist, but
you haven't told me yet. Whatever has happened? Well that
dear Laura's, of course, Well it's dear Henry's too, you
know what is dear Laura's house. Oh well, yes, of course,
But why think of nasty things.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Because they've become even nastier. What a person you trying
to say? Dear Henry is dead?
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Well it's most distressing, of course, But dear Henry is
not only dead, he was murdered. Oh, Dear Laura shouldn't
have that. Oh that is what makes you think Laura
did I.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I didn't say I. I I do not think that,
uh Laura did anything of the sort. I Oh, I
just remembered a terribly important engagement. You will excuse me
going to or if you can get a cab right
at the corner oh, yes, of course.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Uh, mister Ashington, Yes, that engagement you just remembered what
I'd be very careful keeping it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Oh nonsense, it's a business engagement. Might be the making
of me. Perhaps, on the other hand, it might be
the death of you. M Alexander Graham Bell. You may
(13:15):
wrote hello, mister Templar, mister Simon Templar.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
I was satisfying a morbid curiosity or addicted to practical jokes.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I realized it's very late, sir, But I'm Chester.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Mister temple Chester the butler, Yes, sir. The police, I'm afraid,
are more interested in you than I am.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I don't dare go to them.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Why not? They must think I murdered mister Kane, did you?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Of course not?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But then why didn't you stay at the house?
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Because the murderer was there?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
The murderer being I.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I didn't see him.

that I heard steps.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Coming toward me, So you ran, yes, sir, Well why
have you called me?
Speaker 4 (13:50):

Where are you?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Mister Keane had a small hunting lodge. That's where I am.
It's on Presley Road, just across the George Washington Bridge
ORF Highway twelve. I don't dare I coming to.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The city, mister Temple, I see, but got.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
To help me. I don't wanna be murdered.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Alright, then I'll be out there as soon as I can.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Thank you, sir. Please, honey, I'd like to be alive
when you come.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
It's a temple up.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yes, you're right, so you explained everything, but it still
doesn't seem right in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Nobody takes their taxi to no Joyson, but I have.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Yeah, that's what bothers me. Also, it's my taxi. You
know something is start in the Jersey.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, that happens in New York too, Yeah, but it's
more like home there here. It don't make me feel good.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
You're not proposed to feel good. We're on our way
to help a man whose life may be in danger.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Oh no, I feel worse. Well, just Poppler Chester proposal.
He killed mister Kane himself, so from whom.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Would he be in danger for? But he may not
have killed Kane.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Louis sort of let him stay in no joy, No, no,
he was in the house when Kane was murdered.
Speaker 11 (15:13):
Yeah, but he didn't see the killer if you tell him.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
The proof, that's right, Louise, Except the killer may not
know that. Oh this year is the place, yes, cabin
set back from the road.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Come on, mister, I should have rung my elephant jug
if I had elephant. Un we're not hunting elephants. There
could be a lot safer than I want. We're doing
its fat. Don't complain this to think to please. It
sounds you're liable to hear out from this wilderness, and
that sounds I want to hear the lengths in the cabin.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Maybe Chester went to Pennsylvania's and it's the templates a joke.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
See there's a town in Pennsylvania called chest Yeah, all right,
see it was.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
So I'll let you hear my feet, Ketter, you gonna knock,
of course?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Who who's there?
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Simon Tempter, Chester and Louis and Louis.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Coming please quickie I haven't stared to put the lights
on in this room. It faces the road. Will you
come with me? Oh?
Speaker 10 (16:33):
I shouldn't have had the lights on here in the
kitchen either, but I was afraid to wait the dark.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Is anyone likely to suspect you may have come here?
I don't know. I can't even thank mister Temple. You're
sure you don't know who killed mister Kane. No, I don't.
If I did, I could have gone to the police
and been safe this water. Mister Kane was very well,
very wasn't he, yes, sir?
Speaker 7 (16:51):
And Missus Kane, well, she was married to mister Kane,
so I meant in her own ride.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I don't think so, Sir. Kane wasn't home very much
at the time. No, sir, Why well, he wasn't really
happy in his manage. It could have divorced his wife.
Will not mister Kane, Sir, he couldn't have endured the scandal.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Asked seeing Chester that name? You can't think of the
killer's name? Could it possibly be Gordon Ashington?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
What does mister Ashington do besides have tea with Missus Kane.
He raises flower, Sir, he has a conservatory album. All
Now things interested?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Among those flowers? Could there possibly be roses? Roses? Yes,
you know what they are of? Courser?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Would then suppose you answered my question right, I should
imagine he raised roses, sir, Chester, Yes, sir, I'm having
unkind thoughts about you.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
What do you mean, mister Temple? I think, for example,
that you know who killed mister Kane. Who.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
I think also that your original intention was to keep
quiet about that knowledge until the.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Case had been closed is unsolved. What why would I
do a thing like that?
Speaker 7 (17:55):
It's an ugly word, Chester, but I'm afraid I'll have
to use it blackmail for that. That's ridiculous now for
an innocent man. There's no explanation of your behavior that
holds water. I was afraid mister Kane was nice to death.
The room in which he died showed no signs of struggle.
Therefore you couldn't have heard the murder. You must have
seen it. No, Sir, your story about fleeing from mysterious
(18:16):
footsteps is childish. According to your own story, you had
no way of knowing whose.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They were, or even who had been killed.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
An honest man in your circumstances would simply have run
out into the street and yelled for help. You didn't
now who killed mister Kane jesters, I don't know. Would
you prefer dying alongside the murderers an accessory after the fact?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Very well?
Speaker 7 (18:40):
She I did see you. Who Wait if that window
Chester you were near, the lamp turned off? Huh turn
it off?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
He didn't turn it up.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Now, bullet did it for him? Came through that window.
We can find the door.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
In this confounded darkness. Yeah, yeah, here it is. Ooh ooh,
there was a car. Killer's car were too late, Lois Fry.
Let's go back in.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Yeah, there's another lamp around. Wait strike a match please,
huh okay, mister Temple. Yeah, and here it is, mister Templar,
I know Lewis. Two of the bullets hit him.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Ooh, ain't gonna bustle no more?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Huh No.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
His second murder seen in two days, but in this
one he played the title role.
Speaker 11 (19:32):
M Hey, you almost the template and know Jersey Cops
wasn't bad. You know, if I'd have shut my eyes,
I could almost have imagined there was New.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
York Cops just closed to show you, to show you
what the crossing your river, don't change your cop.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I'm taking you home.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
No, Lewis, Ah, missus Kane, if you don't mind, I mind.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Look here's the temple.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Maybe she's beautiful, but right now I could easily spine.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Even Helen of Troy.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
And from what I hear from the boy, she will be.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
All time to make it. You hear right?
Speaker 5 (20:10):
How do you know you was around while she was
still on the vine?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Louis?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Yeah, we're passing missus kane house.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Oh oh, there's a couple so I don't know, so
there is.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Wait for me, Louis.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Oh wait, hey you oh almost the temple of Hello again?
Joe like to see missus Kane.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
It's so what I I mean at this hour? Does
she turn invisible at thirteen hours? Oh? Hallo? I know
she wants to see you, but you might try asking her.
Okay you wait here? Cry well? That way I get
to see her too.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Hey, you know something.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
I'm afraid I do. She's gone, that's right, But how
did I know? I get she shouldn't adopt.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
R I'm supposed to protect her. Hey, he mister temple,
where you going? Believe it or not, Joe, I'm going
to pick a few flowers.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
That would be the greenhouses over there really are interested
in flowers over the square small house, but Gordon lives.
I should think it was a light on it here.
And now let's see how quietly I can open the
door m M, very quietly, but very bad man as
made it is? Who going money?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Now? It's the temple. I know I can get a
class A law.
Speaker 12 (21:54):
You wore the police people to say, thine O, you's
in gallahander ground and just when they find out you did,
I was here.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Only no Gordy because when I got here I stopped
and touched the hood of your car, which was hot.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I've been restless.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
I'm going out here driving Queer to Gordon. What difference
does it make their I I haven't trust become rich
because of the murdering as I have. I'll true and
not for the first time. You knew about my first
segment the roses.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I knew. I didn't.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
And you just be planning on.
Speaker 12 (22:34):
Giving up sawas growing and helping you beare the burden
of your great well Hm for the idea.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I shall tell me this is where we're come in
good evening silence? What the devil you mean by not knocking?
Including eavesdropping. If I'm a cab, you'll never hear me
call you. Gordy.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Better let go of Lara, all right, you can be
so heroic about it. As a matter of fact, I'm
here merely to give you a message, Ellie.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
From whom Chester time and the police have found him.
He's in their hands at the moment, Simon.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
The police won't treat him badly, will they? Because he
didn't kill Henry.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
He didn't kill Henry, and the police won't treat him badly.
I see he's dead, poor old tap. You lack conviction,
mister Ashby, I lack printers.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
After all?
Speaker 7 (23:19):
What was Chester to meath more than you realize, perhap?
You see he was shot to death in front of
Louis and me. He had been in the house when
Henry Kane was murdered. To you who the murderer was?
I still liked him to you certain before he died.
Chester has that name on to me?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
He did? He did? Is that why you're waving? Has
done about? I stopt want to be sure. Listen, I
don't care what Tester said. If he told you I
murdertained you, he was lying. That's it lying. Gordon.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Please put that gun away.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
No, Gordon, don't put the gun away, but stop pointing
it at me. You might try another direction until the
police arrived. Other director, who Missus Kane the poor You see,
she happens to have killed both her husband and Chester assignment.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Oh dear, oh, my Husan's sakes. Don't think till later.
So in the middle of the night, we're sitting in
the restaurant.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
This adds up, It certainly does. Laura Kane interrupted me
earlier tonight.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
And I never got to the dessert.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Hey, mister Temple, I know the cops are locked Missus
Cane up, which questionally, I think is a waste and
a kind of how she looks. But look, I can't
believe she killed her husband in the butt, but she
did lose she I'd like to.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Ask you how you know?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Only I don't want to stay Hicko breakfast.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
It's very simple, Lois. Yeah, her motive is obvious. She
did the Gray Kane might divorce her. Therefore she killed
him and hoped to.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Inherit his money, uh huh.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
And the roses and a tempt and Robert the clever
one to direct suspicion at Gordon's She even put on
an act.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
With Chester about the roses.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Ordinarily, if Chester hadn't decided blacknailing it would be more fun.
He'd have testified about the roses routine and helped him
pick Gourdon.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but how now excuse me, but I
think any minute the sun is gonna rise out of.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
You know whoever murdered Chester had been eavesdropt him? And
you said Chester hadn't been given the opportunity to tell
us the murderer's name. Yet when I suggested Chester had
told her.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Gordon got scared and started waving a gun, so you
knew he was innocent.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
And that left missus King a lady whose love was
not at all like a red red rose. You have
been listening to another transcribed adventure of the Saint, the
(25:53):
robin Hood of modern crime.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
And now here is our starve and some price.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
Ladies and gentlemen of us who live in the United
States are aware of the material values of American life,
our factories and machines and luxuries. But there is another
side to American life, a side made up of spiritual values.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Our country was founded upon faith in God.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
In the Declaration of Independence, it states that men were
endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. Thus, religious
faith is part of the very foundation of American democracy
and one of our most precious national heritages is freedom
of worship. Without faith, the family and the community become unstable.
(26:42):
Without faith, the individual denies himself to use and indictments
of religion. The doors of your churches and synagogues are
open to you. The freedom to worship as you please
is yours, and so America's religious organizations invite you to
find George self his faith and to come to church

us again next week at the same time with another
