Speaker 5 (03:18):
I'm not working my way through college, simon.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Uh, from where I stand, i'd say you'd uh graduate.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
From where I stand, I'm getting tired of standing.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Oh, I'm sorry, come in, come in. It's uh a
little late to begin a beautiful friendship.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I'm frightened.

He's coming into town in the Chicago Limited in a
few hours.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Oh you uh want me to bring him flower.
Speaker 5 (03:54):

Forty nine Marble Avenue, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
To see that he gets there alive. You uh haven't
told me why he might not, nor do you intend to.
Why should I bother missus Doyle.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Perhaps because I'm lonely and afraid. Perhaps because i'd like
you to call me madge Simon. I have no one
else to go.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
To, al right, I need his trading. When's it you
five in the morning, five hours to go?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Then I'll go home now. Oh, knowing that you're taking
care of things, Simon, I might even be able to
sleep pleasant dreams.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Madge, another drink.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Laura, what are you trying to do?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Launch me?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Don't be that way, baby, I'm drinking right along with
you right now.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I'd say you were a couple of blocks in front
of me. Hey, what time is it anyway?
Speaker 7 (05:11):
It's yeah, two thirty, almost early our baby. Hey, you
don't tell me the trains running out of gas?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
That's just christ that's.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
What it is. Yeah, just a whistle stop.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Who was talking about whistling?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I said it was a whistle stop?
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Nothing press.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Was awful?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Dark eyes?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Do you think somebody lives in these times?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I knew a fellow once lived in a small town. Yeah,
he was a dope. What did you see out of
the window?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
A couple of people getting off, some waiting.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They get Hey, who you throwing your whiskey?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
As I didn't throw it slipped out of my head.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's so Yeah, somebody's your handshake. I'm tired, you're scared.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Look, look, let let's get out of this club.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Card too many people?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Anything you say?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, too many?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
It's kind of a switch.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
The girl sing the fellow home, Yeah, funny, why didn't
you laugh?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Somebody pulling the train out from under me.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Just hold on to me, you please.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
They're just switching engines.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
They at to fasten these trains down better.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, this here's my story of the compartments right along here.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Oh, aren't you fancy? I just got a lower birth.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah well, oh no, no, no, no no no, come on in.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Will well.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
A girl's gotta be careful of her reputation.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Nobody around, but please come in.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
We'll gabble while.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Wow, that's okay in here, im here, it's kind of
dark thing.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Why don't you put a light on her?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Hey, tempire? H oh, Lieutenant Flynn.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh templaire, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Is there a law against lurking on station platforms?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Don't tell the commissioner you meeting the train.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It's easy to see why they made you, lieutenant.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Oh, thanks very much. Huh, friend of yours coming in unlimited?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
That's hard to say translated. You mean you're not saying
why are you here?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I'm crazy about trains.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Also, the department got a wire. Seems somebody on that
train wasn't a very good traveler.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Seems he died en route.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And his train sickness can be overdone. Huh, wasn't exactly
train sickness.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
What was the name of the man you were meeting again?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Why didn't say it was a man?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Now? This fella stopped a couple of bullets in the
worst possible place.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Uh, are there any good places to stop bullets?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You're not too busy, Templar. When the train pulls in,
maybe you'd like to climb aboard with me. Take a
look at the fullar I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh, I might not be too busy. What's his name?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Doyle, Jimmy Doyle.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
They didn't improve his appearance the bullets.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I mean, whoever shot him didn't have a beauty treatment
in mind? You know I'm Templar.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
His name is Doyle, Jimmy Doyle. Isn't that what you
told me?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You fence? Very nice?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
When did he die?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Close? As the medical examiner just figured it, he must
have been shot around two or three in the morning.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
It's nice to know he dined in the private compartment.
Whoever shot him had fun ripping the place up.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
He could have been looking for something. I wonder what.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And as I'm wondering too, Lieutenant.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Nice to have company. Could have been diamonds, though.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Doyle collected them.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I hate to tell you this. When he was a
bad boy, stole 'em, oh for shame. In Chicago, he
and a couple of other bad boys, one of whom
uh wore glasses.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
How do you know that not much of a guest, Lieutenant.
This is what I just picked up off the floor.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Looks like a tiny hunk of crumbled tissue.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
They came out of a sight save a bank. To Lieutenant,
that tissue was used to wipe a pair of glasses.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Let me have it, thanks. And one of the bad
boys who pitched in on the Chicago deal with Doyle
is a man named Kerner. The important point of the
moment being he wears glasses.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Well, that tissue is mildly flimsy as evidence, but it
uh helps your thinking. Huh, No, nobody heard the shance.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
When dor was killed. Nah, it's noisy on a train.
It may have been going through a tunnel at the time.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Well it's been fun, lieutenant, but it would be even
more fun templar.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh if you would, uh, let me introduce you to Lola.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And who is Lola?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
The kind of girl your mother wouldn't have liked?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well, since I'm not my mother, some other time, perhaps
not be another time.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
We're booking her on suspicion of murder. She went lasses
mm hmm, and the men do make passes.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
You're being too kind to me.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
She and Dora were lapping up firewater all evening. She
went with him to his compartment. This one claims she
chatted with him for a while and went to her
own birth Nobody saw her at the important times, though,
too bad. It's only suspicion of murder. Baila has been
chummy with lots of crooks, especially jewel crooks.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Sounds like a case.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
The only trouble is whoever knocked off Doyle is after
the diamonds. Lola doesn't have the monor.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Lucky for Lola, did the trains stop anyone route?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Jerkwater town named Hainesville too interesting. But I would still
like to have you talk to Lola.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Why you're pretty? And Niam, oh, thank you?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You might you might get something out of her. Furthermore,
if you do, I'll stop wondering what brought you here?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Ah, that does it. I couldn't bear to think if
you was staying up nights wondering lead me to up.
We're keeping her in compartments see a couple of doors
down from here.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Keep a company. We've got to search everybody on the train.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Aren't you going to introduce me?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Just smile at him.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Oh, I'll do my best.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I'll remember the last guy who was alone with her
wound up dead?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
How long are we have to hold up in.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
This room long? You just be glad you're off of
that train. Yeah, you know. I never did like cops,
But one thing you gotta give him credit for. They
know how to search a man. For a while back there,
I wasn't sure they were going to leave the skin
on me. Hey, what's the matter, mitch im I'm wondering
where the stones are? Kind of yeah, yes, saw am I.
(11:40):
They weren't in that compartment. We tore it apart, couldn't
find them.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Now wait a minute, Mitch, you were with me all
the time.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Sure, when we got on the train.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
But according to what the cops were thrown out, there's
somebody visited Doyle while you and me split up locating
our berths. Yeah, but we had to take berths in
different cars. We'd have been spotted too easy if we hadn't.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Shoe se accept with the way.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
If it worked out.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You could have got the.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Doyle's compartment before his body was found. You could have
shut him and ditched the stones some Yes, so my friend,
could you? Would I bring it up a fight? You might?
You might just to make sure that I didn't. I look, Mitch,
there's one thing we know. Neither of us has got
the stones on us now, no matter who killed Doyle.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
So so do you care who killed him? I care
about the stone?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
All right? Then let's start using our heads.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Doyle reached the station in Chicago with the stones. We
figured he'd have him with him all the time, but
maybe he arranged to have them reach New York separate
from himself.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You see.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, all right, now, I got an idea of wearing
New York. Those stones would have to wind up if
that's what Doyle did, And.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
That's where that's Doyle's home.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So why don't we drop in on missus Doyle and
tell her the sad news?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yet, that way we get a seat on the inside
where we sit and wait for company.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Ah, good evening, Lola, or for should it be uh
good morning.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Go away and when everyone should go away and drop dead?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
But you haven't even.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Met me I'm uh, Simon templar, Lola, you can drop
dead too. Wait, Simon Templer, that's right. Good Sata, that's
all a girl in my condition needs.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Go Oh, Lola, what Lieutenant Flynn told me to smile?
I'm uh smiling.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Doctor West would be proud.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Oh I do know.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
He just gives me the brush every morning.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Huh. Oh, you're funny. Sit up, thank Youl, but sit
I'm slow. I don't want you shaking the train.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Well, I'll be careful.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Oh, these trains shake awful easy.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Or it could be I have a hangover.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Oh were you uh drinking last night?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I was drinking.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well, I a hangover seems possible, then, huh.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I can think of a lot better words for it
than that.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
For Exampleola, yeah, you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
H What are you doing practicing to be sir?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Galahad not exact, because if you are, you're wasting your time.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Nola, about Doyle, don't mention him.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I can see his face right now, half blown up.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
That's a fairly accurate description.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Would you mind leaving me and my hangover all alone?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
But according to want you to the police, you left
him in his compartment alive. No, how do you know
what his face looked like?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Dead?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Get out of here so that won't do too much.
Did you kill Doyle?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
You don't look like my diary?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Go away? Did you kill Dole?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Now? Do you believe me?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I can't tell as yet. You were out? His diamonds
went you were?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
It's possible, but I'm not answering that one.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
How did you know what his face looked like after
he'd been shot?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
All right? You got beyond that.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I didn't spiller the cops because I figured I didn't
have to.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
All right, Now it's different. I went with Doyle to
his compartment.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
We were both kind of on the truck side, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
There, Well, anyway, he was drunker than me, so I
I thought maybe I could pick up a few carrots,
you know, I think so? Yes, So he walk into
his compartment. It was dark in there.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
The first thing that happens is dog gets shot.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Somebody hits me on the head before I can get
a good sized scream out.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
You didn't see what it won't?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
No, No, When I came to, I was dead. The
compartment has been turned upside down, and I felt rotten.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I went away from their fast that lower birth looked.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Just like home. You could be telling the truth. Lean over,
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Aitch?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Hay, there is a bruise on your head. One of
two things, either that your story is true or that
you were clever enough to acquire that. I'm all by yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's not the kind of thing I like to go
around acquiring.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I don't know if the police will hold you. I
suspect they won't. If they do, release you, yeah, I'd
advise you to be very careful. Avoid diamonds. They're beautiful,
but they might be the death of you.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Just a second.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh, hello missus. Doyle, Heerner, Kerner and Mitch you mind
if we come in? I you don't mind. Uh? She
looks all broken up by grief, don't you, Mitch?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
All broken up?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Is that a new routine?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah? She don't sound like a new widow at all.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Did you say your widow?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Don't tell me you didn't know? Didn't the cops get
in touch with you about what? I guess they didn't.
I guess maybe Doyle didn't bother keeping him posted about
his home address.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Will you tell me what happened? Please?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Sure somebody took a sudden dislike to your husband, so
you're a widow. When two o'clock this morning he was
on a train. You will die on trains.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Too, you said the police.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
He was murdered, missus Doyle. He isn't bringing home the bacon?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Would you mind leaving?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Somebody else may bring it around, or we like bacon.
I ontill just have to put up with us for
a while. I Mitch, take a look around, see if
there's any other entrance to the apartment.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Okay, what do you want of me?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh, Mitch and I I figure that you're gonna have
a visitor soon. We wanna be in on the welcoming committee,
and we ought to figure that. Duh, it should be
a very warm welcome.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Are police stations attractive?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Well, Uh, they're useful.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I guess I.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Have you to thank for being able to walk out
of there.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
No, forget it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
And less, of course, you really kill Doyle.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I never kill a man.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I like him?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Now you might like diamonds even more.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I might, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Well, it's uh been nice meeting you, Lola, But I.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Have a simon. Why are you in such a hurt?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Well, I've got a special date. Uh, whoo a widow.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
What's so special about a widow?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I just want to see if she's married?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Hey kind of yeah, times person, and we got lots
of it. That door has bolted, and all we gotta
do there it is grass the be Okay, we kill
the lights and wait. The doors are locked. And after
a while, Junior out there is gonna get impatient by
the handle and that the door is open, and walk
(18:21):
right and.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Door. Let me wrestle.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
This shouldn't take very long, Madge put the lights on.
By hm, you had a glass draw Oh, so.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Glad, so glad. When you rang the bell you was terrified.
And then when the door open, you weren't there.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
You took too long answering the doorbell. I thought maybe
something might be wrong, so I kicked the door, opened
the duck door a side until the firework stopped. This
entleman with the glasses. No one's going to make passes
of him either except the coroner. He's dead. The other Mitch, yes,
he'll recover. Colonel was near the door. Mitch fired the
(19:16):
guns lying on the floor near him, and he hit
Colonel instead of me. A very pleasant error, simon.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
They told me, Jimmy, it's dead. He is he was killed,
wasn't he?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yes? Why he was carrying a tidy parcel of stolen diamonds.
Colonel and Mitch were trying to remove them from him.
Apparently they'd helped him the original theft, so they.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Came here to wait for whom, not for Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
They knew he was dead.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Then, I think you could use a drink, and not
a soft one at that. Where can I find that
the kitchen?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Come on, Jimmy kept everything in it time, Dorsh spolted.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I'm going to make it easier for our unknown friend
outside went over to a side Madge and past they
start triangullets. Hello, Lola, come in and shut the door
behind you.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Simon, I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Then lend me your bag, Lola. You mustn't think I
I won't till later. Mm hmm No gun, of course not.
Oh you may have your bag back. You also may
have dropped the gun someplace else. Uh, Madge, this is
a lady named Lola. Lola missus Doyle, who is she son?
(20:41):
A girl with a lower berth was straight into the
wrong compartment. Let's go into the living.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Room, Simon. I came here because I was afraid.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
For you or for the diamonds.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
No, it wasn't that.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I the objects on the floor bothering you. Only one
of them's dead, this one. Uh, mister Kerner nothing interesting
in his pockets.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
As for Mitch, Fine, he wouldn't have the jewel.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Let's say he shouldn't have, but he has look rings
neck Chris Fine, Yes, half a dozen pieces. The only
question is are they the things Doyle was bringing in
from Chicago?
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Where's your phone?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Madge?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Over there?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Things? M m m uh, Mitch is starting to come
to one of you. Had better take that gun.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I've got it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Hello, Lieutenant Flint, is uh point that gun at Mitch
n if he acts oup, don't be delicate.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
I won't when I think of how he made Jimmy
Look at.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Flynn Simon templar. Uh would you mind reading off a
list of the stolen Joe's Doyle who was supposed to
have on him? That's right?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yah?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
H fine? Oh no, Lieutenant, not in intellectual curiosity. You see,
I have exected those jewels with me, not to mention
the corpse and the killer. The address is forty nine
Marble Avenue, Apartment c uh and oh uh Lieutenant, don't hurry.
I'm having fun.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
The jewels you found on Mitchell are part.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Of the chicagoloot. Yes, only one thing bothers me. What's
the man? Mitch couldn't have shot Coloner? The angle's wrong angle? Yes, Besides,
why should either of them have started shooting? They didn't
know who would be coming through the.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Door, Simon, I didn't want to get involved, but eye
shot Cloner. Mitch was holding his hand over my mouth.
I had a hand free. I didn't want them to
kill you.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Son.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
We're in a unanimous agreement on that.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
As for Lola, I don't like the way you're looking
at me.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Oh, you and Madge standing side by side her a
very pretty picture.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Now talk to me about pictures. They got frames around them.
You just said the stuff you found on Mitch's part
of the stuffed.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Doyle head with them on the train.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well, that proves Mitch killed Door and stole the diamond.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
No, it nearly proves that the diamonds were not on
the train.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
What look, I never even got through high school. For me,
you have to make it a lot simply.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I'll be glad to everyone who walked off the train.
This morning was thoroughly searched. No one could have got
away with the jewels. Therefore, the jewels went on the train,
not when it reached New York.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
That is, I think I know what you mean, Simon.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yes, probably because you'll go through high school marriage, Hiver.
Where does that leave us? It leaves us with a start.
The train made at around two o'clock in the morning
at a small town named Hainesville.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I remember that that's where Colonel and Mitch got on.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Doryle saw them, he got scared, So that means they
gotta be the ones who killed them.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
It er means something else, Lowler. It means that other
people could have got on the train at Hainesville.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Tool, you mean someone else is involved, someone we don't
know about. No, then you'd have searched these other people
you mentioned in New York.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
The stopover at Hainesville was some how long, Lola.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
They switch engines, which means that someone could have got
aboard the train shot Doyle, taken the diamonds and then
got off the train at Hainesville.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
But who could have done that time, you madge, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I say you saw me at midnight did a very
pretty song and dance, and then left you then took
a plane to Haynesville, left the train and your husband there,
killed him, and flew back to New York. No what, Oh,
it'll be easy to trace the plane, Madge, if.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Anyone thinks of it, I have what makes you think?
I'll let you pass those thoughts on.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Oh, you won't be able to help yourself. True, you've
uh a gun, but you've already killed two men. Uh,
Lola doesn't approve of killing men.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Lola, I've got it good sermons.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
You better let me have that gun. Thank you. You
better sold it for a jury, Madge, because you'll be
seeing one.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
You have been listening to another transcribed adventure of the Saint,

our star, Tom Conway.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Ladies and gentlemen, Democracy demands an active faith, a dynamic
struggle against the fanatics who would destroy our national unity
with a poison of prejudice. We must protect ourselves and
our families against prejudice by accepting or rejecting people on
their individual's wealth, by refusing to listen to or spread
(25:40):
rumors against a race or religion, by speaking up wherever
we are against prejudice and for understanding. Remember freedom and
prejudice cannot exist side by side. If we choose freedom,
we must fight prejudice. This is Tom Congway inviting you

You don't need it. I hope Doyle's enjoin his train ride.
I wouldn't, Uh you think he'd be glad to see us, Mitch,
I want another drink. Eh, you know something, I think
he'll be so happy that it's just Liabeler killing.

Oh, I'm closed for the night. I've gone out of business. Oh,
I'll hate you in the morning. Okay, just a second,
mister Templar, Yes, and the honors midnight, and I am

Speaker 5 (03:14):
You look very nice.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Oh you must say that to all the boys whose
bells you ring.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
I'm not working my way through college, simon.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Uh, from where I stand, i'd say you'd uh graduate.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
From where I stand, I'm getting tired of standing.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Oh, I'm sorry, come in, come in. It's uh a
little late to begin a beautiful friendship.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
I'm frightened.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Your ies tell me that, and uh they're very beautiful.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
You know a lot about women, don't you.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Oh, not as much as i'd like.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
I'm married to Jimmy Doyle.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Doyle, Uh, I don't know him.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I want you to meet him tonight so.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I can be frightened too.

He's coming into town in the Chicago Limited in a
few hours.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Oh you uh want me to bring him flower.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I want you to see that he gets home alive.

Forty nine Marble Avenue, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
To see that he gets there alive. You uh haven't
told me why he might not, nor do you intend to.
Why should I bother missus Doyle.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Perhaps because I'm lonely and afraid. Perhaps because i'd like
you to call me madge Simon. I have no one
else to go.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
To, al right, I need his trading. When's it you
five in the morning, five hours to go?

Then I'll go home now. Oh, knowing that you're taking

sleep pleasant dreams.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Madge, another drink.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Laura, what are you trying to do?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Launch me?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Don't be that way, baby, I'm drinking right along with
you right now.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I'd say you were a couple of blocks in front
of me. Hey, what time is it anyway?
Speaker 7 (05:11):
It's yeah, two thirty, almost early our baby. Hey, you
don't tell me the trains running out of gas?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
That's just christ that's.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
What it is. Yeah, just a whistle stop.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Who was talking about whistling?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I said it was a whistle stop?
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Nothing press.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Was awful?
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Dark eyes?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Do you think somebody lives in these times?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I knew a fellow once lived in a small town. Yeah,
he was a dope. What did you see out of
the window?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
A couple of people getting off, some waiting.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They get Hey, who you throwing your whiskey?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
As I didn't throw it slipped out of my head.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's so Yeah, somebody's your handshake. I'm tired, you're scared.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Look, look, let let's get out of this club.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Card too many people?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Anything you say?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, too many?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
It's kind of a switch.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
The girl sing the fellow home, Yeah, funny, why didn't
you laugh?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Somebody pulling the train out from under me.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Just hold on to me, you please.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
They're just switching engines.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
They at to fasten these trains down better.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, this here's my story of the compartments right along here.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Oh, aren't you fancy? I just got a lower birth.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah well, oh no, no, no, no no no, come on in.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Will well.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
A girl's gotta be careful of her reputation.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Nobody around, but please come in.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
We'll gabble while.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Wow, that's okay in here, im here, it's kind of
dark thing.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Why don't you put a light on her?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Hey, tempire? H oh, Lieutenant Flynn.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh templaire, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Is there a law against lurking on station platforms?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Don't tell the commissioner you meeting the train.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It's easy to see why they made you, lieutenant.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Oh, thanks very much. Huh, friend of yours coming in unlimited?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
That's hard to say translated. You mean you're not saying
why are you here?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I'm crazy about trains.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Also, the department got a wire. Seems somebody on that
train wasn't a very good traveler.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Seems he died en route.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And his train sickness can be overdone. Huh, wasn't exactly
train sickness.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
What was the name of the man you were meeting again?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Why didn't say it was a man?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Now? This fella stopped a couple of bullets in the
worst possible place.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Uh, are there any good places to stop bullets?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You're not too busy, Templar. When the train pulls in,
maybe you'd like to climb aboard with me. Take a
look at the fullar I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh, I might not be too busy. What's his name?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Doyle, Jimmy Doyle.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
They didn't improve his appearance the bullets.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I mean, whoever shot him didn't have a beauty treatment
in mind? You know I'm Templar.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
His name is Doyle, Jimmy Doyle. Isn't that what you
told me?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You fence? Very nice?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
When did he die?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Close? As the medical examiner just figured it, he must
have been shot around two or three in the morning.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
It's nice to know he dined in the private compartment.
Whoever shot him had fun ripping the place up.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
He could have been looking for something. I wonder what.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And as I'm wondering too, Lieutenant.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Nice to have company. Could have been diamonds, though.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Doyle collected them.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I hate to tell you this. When he was a
bad boy, stole 'em, oh for shame. In Chicago, he
and a couple of other bad boys, one of whom
uh wore glasses.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
How do you know that not much of a guest, Lieutenant.
This is what I just picked up off the floor.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Looks like a tiny hunk of crumbled tissue.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
They came out of a sight save a bank. To Lieutenant,
that tissue was used to wipe a pair of glasses.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Let me have it, thanks. And one of the bad
boys who pitched in on the Chicago deal with Doyle
is a man named Kerner. The important point of the
moment being he wears glasses.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Well, that tissue is mildly flimsy as evidence, but it
uh helps your thinking. Huh, No, nobody heard the shance.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
When dor was killed. Nah, it's noisy on a train.
It may have been going through a tunnel at the time.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Well it's been fun, lieutenant, but it would be even
more fun templar.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh if you would, uh, let me introduce you to Lola.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And who is Lola?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
The kind of girl your mother wouldn't have liked?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well, since I'm not my mother, some other time, perhaps
not be another time.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
We're booking her on suspicion of murder. She went lasses
mm hmm, and the men do make passes.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
You're being too kind to me.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
She and Dora were lapping up firewater all evening. She
went with him to his compartment. This one claims she
chatted with him for a while and went to her
own birth Nobody saw her at the important times, though,
too bad. It's only suspicion of murder. Baila has been
chummy with lots of crooks, especially jewel crooks.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Sounds like a case.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
The only trouble is whoever knocked off Doyle is after
the diamonds. Lola doesn't have the monor.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Lucky for Lola, did the trains stop anyone route?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Jerkwater town named Hainesville too interesting. But I would still
like to have you talk to Lola.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Why you're pretty? And Niam, oh, thank you?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You might you might get something out of her. Furthermore,
if you do, I'll stop wondering what brought you here?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Ah, that does it. I couldn't bear to think if
you was staying up nights wondering lead me to up.
We're keeping her in compartments see a couple of doors
down from here.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Keep a company. We've got to search everybody on the train.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Aren't you going to introduce me?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Just smile at him.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Oh, I'll do my best.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I'll remember the last guy who was alone with her
wound up dead?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
How long are we have to hold up in.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
This room long? You just be glad you're off of
that train. Yeah, you know. I never did like cops,
But one thing you gotta give him credit for. They
know how to search a man. For a while back there,
I wasn't sure they were going to leave the skin
on me. Hey, what's the matter, mitch im I'm wondering
where the stones are? Kind of yeah, yes, saw am I.
(11:40):
They weren't in that compartment. We tore it apart, couldn't
find them.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Now wait a minute, Mitch, you were with me all
the time.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Sure, when we got on the train.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
But according to what the cops were thrown out, there's
somebody visited Doyle while you and me split up locating
our berths. Yeah, but we had to take berths in
different cars. We'd have been spotted too easy if we hadn't.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Shoe se accept with the way.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
If it worked out.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You could have got the.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Doyle's compartment before his body was found. You could have
shut him and ditched the stones some Yes, so my friend,
could you? Would I bring it up a fight? You might?
You might just to make sure that I didn't. I look, Mitch,
there's one thing we know. Neither of us has got
the stones on us now, no matter who killed Doyle.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
So so do you care who killed him? I care
about the stone?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
All right? Then let's start using our heads.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Doyle reached the station in Chicago with the stones. We
figured he'd have him with him all the time, but
maybe he arranged to have them reach New York separate
from himself.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You see.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, all right, now, I got an idea of wearing
New York. Those stones would have to wind up if
that's what Doyle did, And.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
That's where that's Doyle's home.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So why don't we drop in on missus Doyle and
tell her the sad news?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yet, that way we get a seat on the inside
where we sit and wait for company.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Ah, good evening, Lola, or for should it be uh
good morning.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Go away and when everyone should go away and drop dead?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
But you haven't even.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Met me I'm uh, Simon templar, Lola, you can drop
dead too. Wait, Simon Templer, that's right. Good Sata, that's
all a girl in my condition needs.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Go Oh, Lola, what Lieutenant Flynn told me to smile?
I'm uh smiling.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Doctor West would be proud.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Oh I do know.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
He just gives me the brush every morning.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Huh. Oh, you're funny. Sit up, thank Youl, but sit
I'm slow. I don't want you shaking the train.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Well, I'll be careful.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Oh, these trains shake awful easy.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Or it could be I have a hangover.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Oh were you uh drinking last night?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I was drinking.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well, I a hangover seems possible, then, huh.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I can think of a lot better words for it
than that.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
For Exampleola, yeah, you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
H What are you doing practicing to be sir?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Galahad not exact, because if you are, you're wasting your time.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Nola, about Doyle, don't mention him.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I can see his face right now, half blown up.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
That's a fairly accurate description.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Would you mind leaving me and my hangover all alone?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
But according to want you to the police, you left
him in his compartment alive. No, how do you know
what his face looked like?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Dead?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Get out of here so that won't do too much.
Did you kill Doyle?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
You don't look like my diary?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Go away? Did you kill Dole?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Now? Do you believe me?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I can't tell as yet. You were out? His diamonds
went you were?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
It's possible, but I'm not answering that one.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
How did you know what his face looked like after
he'd been shot?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
All right? You got beyond that.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I didn't spiller the cops because I figured I didn't
have to.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
All right, Now it's different. I went with Doyle to
his compartment.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
We were both kind of on the truck side, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
There, Well, anyway, he was drunker than me, so I
I thought maybe I could pick up a few carrots,
you know, I think so? Yes, So he walk into
his compartment. It was dark in there.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
The first thing that happens is dog gets shot.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Somebody hits me on the head before I can get
a good sized scream out.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
You didn't see what it won't?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
No, No, When I came to, I was dead. The
compartment has been turned upside down, and I felt rotten.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I went away from their fast that lower birth looked.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Just like home. You could be telling the truth. Lean over,
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Aitch?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Hay, there is a bruise on your head. One of
two things, either that your story is true or that
you were clever enough to acquire that. I'm all by yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's not the kind of thing I like to go
around acquiring.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I don't know if the police will hold you. I
suspect they won't. If they do, release you, yeah, I'd
advise you to be very careful. Avoid diamonds. They're beautiful,
but they might be the death of you.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Just a second.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh, hello missus. Doyle, Heerner, Kerner and Mitch you mind
if we come in? I you don't mind. Uh? She
looks all broken up by grief, don't you, Mitch?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
All broken up?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Is that a new routine?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah? She don't sound like a new widow at all.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Did you say your widow?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Don't tell me you didn't know? Didn't the cops get
in touch with you about what? I guess they didn't.
I guess maybe Doyle didn't bother keeping him posted about
his home address.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Will you tell me what happened? Please?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Sure somebody took a sudden dislike to your husband, so
you're a widow. When two o'clock this morning he was
on a train. You will die on trains.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Too, you said the police.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
He was murdered, missus Doyle. He isn't bringing home the bacon?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Would you mind leaving?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Somebody else may bring it around, or we like bacon.
I ontill just have to put up with us for
a while. I Mitch, take a look around, see if
there's any other entrance to the apartment.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Okay, what do you want of me?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh, Mitch and I I figure that you're gonna have
a visitor soon. We wanna be in on the welcoming committee,
and we ought to figure that. Duh, it should be
a very warm welcome.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Are police stations attractive?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Well, Uh, they're useful.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I guess I.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Have you to thank for being able to walk out
of there.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
No, forget it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
And less, of course, you really kill Doyle.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I never kill a man.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I like him?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Now you might like diamonds even more.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I might, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Well, it's uh been nice meeting you, Lola, But I.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Have a simon. Why are you in such a hurt?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Well, I've got a special date. Uh, whoo a widow.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
What's so special about a widow?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I just want to see if she's married?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Hey kind of yeah, times person, and we got lots
of it. That door has bolted, and all we gotta
do there it is grass the be Okay, we kill
the lights and wait. The doors are locked. And after
a while, Junior out there is gonna get impatient by
the handle and that the door is open, and walk
(18:21):
right and.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Door. Let me wrestle.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
This shouldn't take very long, Madge put the lights on.
By hm, you had a glass draw Oh, so.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Glad, so glad. When you rang the bell you was terrified.
And then when the door open, you weren't there.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
You took too long answering the doorbell. I thought maybe
something might be wrong, so I kicked the door, opened
the duck door a side until the firework stopped. This
entleman with the glasses. No one's going to make passes
of him either except the coroner. He's dead. The other Mitch, yes,
he'll recover. Colonel was near the door. Mitch fired the
(19:16):
guns lying on the floor near him, and he hit
Colonel instead of me. A very pleasant error, simon.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
They told me, Jimmy, it's dead. He is he was killed,
wasn't he?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yes? Why he was carrying a tidy parcel of stolen diamonds.
Colonel and Mitch were trying to remove them from him.
Apparently they'd helped him the original theft, so they.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Came here to wait for whom, not for Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
They knew he was dead.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Then, I think you could use a drink, and not
a soft one at that. Where can I find that
the kitchen?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Come on, Jimmy kept everything in it time, Dorsh spolted.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I'm going to make it easier for our unknown friend
outside went over to a side Madge and past they
start triangullets. Hello, Lola, come in and shut the door
behind you.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Simon, I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Then lend me your bag, Lola. You mustn't think I
I won't till later. Mm hmm No gun, of course not.
Oh you may have your bag back. You also may
have dropped the gun someplace else. Uh, Madge, this is
a lady named Lola. Lola missus Doyle, who is she son?
(20:41):
A girl with a lower berth was straight into the
wrong compartment. Let's go into the living.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Room, Simon. I came here because I was afraid.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
For you or for the diamonds.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
No, it wasn't that.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I the objects on the floor bothering you. Only one
of them's dead, this one. Uh, mister Kerner nothing interesting
in his pockets.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
As for Mitch, Fine, he wouldn't have the jewel.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Let's say he shouldn't have, but he has look rings
neck Chris Fine, Yes, half a dozen pieces. The only
question is are they the things Doyle was bringing in
from Chicago?
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Where's your phone?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Madge?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Over there?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Things? M m m uh, Mitch is starting to come
to one of you. Had better take that gun.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I've got it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Hello, Lieutenant Flint, is uh point that gun at Mitch
n if he acts oup, don't be delicate.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
I won't when I think of how he made Jimmy
Look at.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Flynn Simon templar. Uh would you mind reading off a
list of the stolen Joe's Doyle who was supposed to
have on him? That's right?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yah?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
H fine? Oh no, Lieutenant, not in intellectual curiosity. You see,
I have exected those jewels with me, not to mention
the corpse and the killer. The address is forty nine
Marble Avenue, Apartment c uh and oh uh Lieutenant, don't hurry.
I'm having fun.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
The jewels you found on Mitchell are part.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Of the chicagoloot. Yes, only one thing bothers me. What's
the man? Mitch couldn't have shot Coloner? The angle's wrong angle? Yes, Besides,
why should either of them have started shooting? They didn't
know who would be coming through the.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Door, Simon, I didn't want to get involved, but eye
shot Cloner. Mitch was holding his hand over my mouth.
I had a hand free. I didn't want them to
kill you.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Son.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
We're in a unanimous agreement on that.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
As for Lola, I don't like the way you're looking
at me.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Oh, you and Madge standing side by side her a
very pretty picture.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Now talk to me about pictures. They got frames around them.
You just said the stuff you found on Mitch's part
of the stuffed.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Doyle head with them on the train.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well, that proves Mitch killed Door and stole the diamond.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
No, it nearly proves that the diamonds were not on
the train.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
What look, I never even got through high school. For me,
you have to make it a lot simply.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I'll be glad to everyone who walked off the train.
This morning was thoroughly searched. No one could have got
away with the jewels. Therefore, the jewels went on the train,
not when it reached New York.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
That is, I think I know what you mean, Simon.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yes, probably because you'll go through high school marriage, Hiver.
Where does that leave us? It leaves us with a start.
The train made at around two o'clock in the morning
at a small town named Hainesville.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I remember that that's where Colonel and Mitch got on.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Doryle saw them, he got scared, So that means they
gotta be the ones who killed them.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
It er means something else, Lowler. It means that other
people could have got on the train at Hainesville.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Tool, you mean someone else is involved, someone we don't
know about. No, then you'd have searched these other people
you mentioned in New York.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
The stopover at Hainesville was some how long, Lola.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
They switch engines, which means that someone could have got
aboard the train shot Doyle, taken the diamonds and then
got off the train at Hainesville.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
But who could have done that time, you madge, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I say you saw me at midnight did a very
pretty song and dance, and then left you then took
a plane to Haynesville, left the train and your husband there,
killed him, and flew back to New York. No what, Oh,
it'll be easy to trace the plane, Madge, if.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Anyone thinks of it, I have what makes you think?
I'll let you pass those thoughts on.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Oh, you won't be able to help yourself. True, you've
uh a gun, but you've already killed two men. Uh,
Lola doesn't approve of killing men.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Lola, I've got it good sermons.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
You better let me have that gun. Thank you. You
better sold it for a jury, Madge, because you'll be
seeing one.

Ladies and gentlemen, Democracy demands an active faith, a dynamic
struggle against the fanatics who would destroy our national unity
with a poison of prejudice. We must protect ourselves and
our families against prejudice by accepting or rejecting people on
their individual's wealth, by refusing to listen to or spread
(25:40):
rumors against a race or religion, by speaking up wherever
we are against prejudice and for understanding. Remember freedom and
prejudice cannot exist side by side. If we choose freedom,
we must fight prejudice. This is Tom Congway inviting you
(26:02):
to join us again next week at the same time
for another exciting adventure of the Saint. Good Night.
