which may happen when your car is the only car
the vicinity, which is very likely to result in death
(00:54):
or crippling injuries to the driver, and which, unlike most accidents,
has usually tip you off as to what may happen.
The answer to this question given by the National Safety Council,
which is currently conducting a campaign against night traffic accident,
is this, the driver simply falls asleep at the wheel.
(01:16):
And the answer to this accident problem is simply this.
Don't drive while you're sleepy. If you must drive at night,
stop for some sleep when you feel that drowsy spell
coming on. Don't let this very violent type of accident
sneak up on you in the dark. Don't let tragedy
(01:37):
catch you asleep at the wheel. And now the shadow,

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Dad?

You would excuse me? Anything I can get.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
For you, mister Whitford, Not a thing, thanks, George, see
you all in the morning.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Whoor Dad aged twenty years since I last saw him
his wife's sudden death.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
It's never been the same since I can understand that.
I understand it very well.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I uh I, I'd better get the guest cottage rid of.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Course, Darling, gont mind us, or I'll find plenty to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yes, yes, I'm sure we will, George. What do you
mean nothing?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
We wouldn't think of discussing anything really important until.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You got back.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
It went very long, Sweet Hill, I didn't see you.
I'm sorry to put you in trouble of fixing that room.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Joan. I was thinking maybe I wouldn't stay.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Oh well, if it would be rather awkward.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Sure we can get our business over with right now?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Business?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
What business? Oh? Just a little financial transaction?
Speaker 4 (06:22):

Speaker 3 (06:24):
The ten thousand dollars. You're gonna give me.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It should be worth at least that for your father
not to know the truth about your mother's death, wouldn't it, sweetheart?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I don't know what you're talking about. It.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'm talking about how your mother really died, How you.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Ran out of the stimulant the doctor w ordered for
your mother's hot condition.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It was an accident.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I went for more convenient, though, wasn't it considering she
was dead when you got back, especially when you realize
how much you hated your mother.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
That's not true. I I thought there was enough of
the medicine I wanted to use more than I thought.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I'm sure your father would understand.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I thought, well, you can't tell him, did you can't?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It would great, Joe, if you've given me the money,
of course.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I haven't got ten thousand dollars.

You'll get it, though, oon't your jomp? Ough't you? If
I do?

Of course we'd hi. Of course I'll go away. You
don't think I'm enjoying this?

Do you know? There is Margot? I'm sure that's the
Whitford house up ahead.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I hope, so we're about three hours late already.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
That short cut you choke them. Well, you didn't get
off much of that didn't Well, I.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Can gather it added about twenty months.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
The trip gave me that much more of your company
is lame. You're lucky to have a lot more of it.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I wouldn't blame Joness walked us out.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
At this home. Better late than never coin a cliche.
Speaker 2 (08:08):

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Where's mister john lad Oh he's gone to dead.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
He was tired.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
He doesn't look well, Miss Lane.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Johnny tells me that I tells you what.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh that's right. It wasn't Joan, it was you, George.
You said that missus Warren's death had upset it, But
Joan did.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Tell you some other things you tore up in the
garden talking. You had quite a little chest that, George.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
We didn't talk about much, George, nothing you'd be interested in.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I wonder if you'd all excuse me.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm for tired.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I'm sorry, Margot Lamart. George will be glad to show
you to your room.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I think I'll have another Brandy tell me Laman.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Oh, no, George.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I think Joan.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Has a good idea. If it's all right with you,
Margot and I will go up uh the usual rooms.
Of course, I'll see you up. We can find our way.
Thanks George. Good night, good night, see you in the morney. Yes,
good night, Warren, mart I don't know world is going
on here? Who is Dicky Warren?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Friend of the family, As he says, the atmosphere was
considerably less than friendly.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Joe, mister Whitby always waited up to see us when
we came.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Don't worry about it, Margot. You go to your room,
get good night's sleep. What are you going to do.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I'll have a look in on mister Whitford before I
turn in. I think you feel badly if I didn't.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
At least least say good night to him.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Not drinking alone. George. Oh it's you, Warren.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That room drinker's bad, George, what do you want?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I just let her drop by have a little talk
with you before I turned in. I'd like to have
a little talk with you, Warren Hue. Who are you?
What do you want here? Well?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
That makes everything very simple, George. That's exactly what I
wanted to talk to you about.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
What do you mean by that? You know? George?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Uh, this is rather delicate, but I'm sure you'd rather
I got to the point.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Go on. Well, you see, Joan.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And I were, uh shall we say, very close friends,
and she wrote me some letters and I thought you
might like.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
To have them for a price. Of course, so whatmail?
Why I ought not.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Lose our heads, George. It's a very simple business transaction.
There's no need for hard feelings. If you won't buy
the letters, somebody else will. I'm sure the tabloids would
love to depress it.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You are crazy. Who'd buy a girl's foolish love letters?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
These aren't exactly foolish love letters, George. Add that to
the fact that they were written to an ex convict
and they become very interesting.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So you've been in jail.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
If that it all a matter of a few months
to think over a discrepancy in the client's accounts.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
What do you want money? Ten thousand dollars to be exact?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
If I give it to you and I'll step out
of the picture completely, your worries will be over. I
I I'll keep that kind of money here. I'm sorry, George,
but I can't wait. You'd better think of some way
of raising it. I'll give you one hour to figure
(11:59):
out how.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Just one hour the Whitford Are you awake? Who is it? Cranston?
I just wanted to say good night. Oh glad you hair? Laman,
(12:23):
glad your hair? Is anything wrong? Oh? No? What makes
you ask? Young warm around? Things? Seemed a little tense,
that's all.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Always seems to be trouble and worn's around. Just who
is he anyway, mister Whitford. Just the young man Joan
met a few years ago. She was madly in love.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
With him, and uh Alice died went away. Oh you
weren't going to brooge you know, just let seeing him
brings it back. Alice hated him, but bet him in
the house.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
How did you feel.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
About him, mister Whifford?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I don't know, cause the.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Rip between Alis and Joan a rip that never healed.
You mustn't think of that, mister Whitford. John may have
presented her mother's dislike of Warren, but I know she
loved him mother because cause I I shouldn't even think
of such thing. You were just tired, sir. It looked
different in the morning, I suppose, Sir. I just wish
(13:18):
Warren would go away and leave us the way we were.
You try to get some rest, mister Whitford. I'll see
what can be done about your getting your wish.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Remember this old sea wall, John, Of.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Course, George, this is where you asked me to marry.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
That's right. I brought you here to ask you another
question equally.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Important about Dicky Warren.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Why didn't you tell me about him? Joan? I could
understood if I heard it from you. What was they
to you?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Nothing to It's nothing at all. There's never been anything
between Vicky and me that I'm machined.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
What were in the letters, Joan? What about the impatient? George? God?
To satisfy your curiosity, didn't you? What are you doing here, Warren?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I just came down and see the ocean by moonlight aromatic,
isn't it, Dicky, Please reminds me of.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
That weekend at the Short Jones.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Don't remember how beautiful it was. Sun was coming up
over the horizon, and you were afraid to go home,
as I remember every one. Tell us, George, you know
you could have saved yourself this. I gave you the chance,
said up.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I said.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Let's not get melodramatic, Judge, put the gun away.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Don't pimp me one.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm getting you a chance to get out of here.
If you don't, George, please over here, fut me.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Joe, Now, George, but don't between us. Let's talk. You
had your warning, get away for my wife.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Get away.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
You don't stir up that gun charge, drop it. I'll
kill you. I tell you. You don't think so.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Gun away you You're killed him, Sticky, you killed it.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
I wouldn't say that looked more like suicide to me.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
You held a gun against his chest and pulled the trigger.
You killed him.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Been jealousy, don't you think? Or maybe business was bad?
Which do you think is a better story for the police.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
You won't get away with the.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
No one pays for suicide, sweetheart. After all, it was
Georgia's gun. His fingerprints were.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
The only one on it. He was jealous suicide.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
It wasn't suicide.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It was my love.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
As a witness, I saw it.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But there were two witnesses, Joan, and I know the
story I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I'll tell them that you're a liar and a murder.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I don't think so, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Your father found out how your mother really died would
break his mind.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You wouldn't wanna see your father put him an institution.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
So I think I know the story that you're going
to tell too.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
We'll return of the shadow in just a minute. I
like to ask a question of all you parents who
have children in school. Have you been doing your homework?
While I'm quite serious, I'm sure you've been keeping after
junior and sisters, seeing that they do their homework and
keep up the grades because you realize how vitally important
(16:26):
it is that they get a really good education. But
you actually know how good their education is, how good
the school is, their teachers. That's what I mean by
your homework. You can't just take Johnny's word on whether
the things are going well or badly in.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
School, and you can't simply.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Count on his report cards to give you the complete story.
There's much more you should know to be sure your
children are getting the kind of education that will help
them make the best use of their abilities and hold
their own later in life. For instance, have you met
all of Johnny's teachers the principal? Does your school system
(17:04):
attract new teachers good teachers? Are they proud of their profession?
How is the school board chosen the superintendent? What educational
associations recognize your school system? Is there an active parent
teachers association? And do you take part in it? All
of this is your homework as a parent and a citizen.
(17:25):
Back now to the shadow.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
La Mountain.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Margo are visiting at the Whitford Summer Hall. Tension has
hung over the attractive seaside estate since the arrival of
Dicky Wallen, an old friend of Joan Whitford now Lamonton Margo,
I've just heard a shot from out by the sea wall.
They rush out to find Joan alone with the body
of her husband.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I'll tell you why we hurt shooting. Good thought. He's George, John.
What's happened George? He shot himself. Take care of John.
I'll see what I can do ye's I uit? So
it's God, it's his journey.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Yes, you had it for years.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'm sure I.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
See it isn't that much you've see that, I'd say, Margot,
suppose you take you in.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Back to the coteage. I'll take together.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Oh no, no, please do.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Court child.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
What a terrible thing to happen. And they were so
happy together, Yes, apparently they were.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Do you think it might NodD been Suicideamot?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I don't think we know all the facts yet, Margot,
not by a long shot. I wonder where I think
he woren is?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Do you think he has something to do with georgia
deathmont Hess with a few questions, he Warren might have
some interesting things to say to the shadow?
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Who's that comfortable, Dickie?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I didn't hear you knock? Whoever you are?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Your door was open. Are you expecting someone, Dickie?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
The police?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Who are you? The shadow?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Dickie? But it's no use trying to see me.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
No one sees the shadow. What do you want? I
want the truth about George Butler's suicide? But was suicide?
I didn't even know he was dead. I said the truth, Dickie.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Okay, suit yourself, I tell you, I've been reading here
for the past half hour. I didn't even hear the shadow.
But I didn't tell you that George Butler had shot himself.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
You have you not?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Maybe I just guessed it the way you guess how
Missus Whitford died. Dickie, what do you know about the shadow?
Knows a great deal? Okay, so you know a great deal.
So you know Joan was responsible for her mother's death?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Was she cruse? She was?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Doctor told her to keep an extra supply of medicine
on hand and she didn't.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
It was her father. Mother died.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Criminal negligence, go on, That's all it is. Joan hated
her mother because she tried to break us up. After
Joan left, her mother started to gasp. And you were
in the house that day, Oh no, I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I just know what Joan told me later.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Where was Joan? She was gone for medicine. I told
you took her two hours. Missus Whifford was dead when
she got back. Then, how could Joone tell you what
her mother was doing when she was gone? But I
don't have to answer these questions. I'm not worried about
bringing this story out into the open.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I got nothing to lose. Joan has nothing to lose
except your life, Dickie.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's all just your life.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Dad?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Oh, Dad, what is it?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
That was my good?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
My mother?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Dad? It's me John, alright, I have the most awful dreamers.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I thought i'd last, Daddy weak up.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
This is Joan.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Joan.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Huh Oh, I'm sorry, my dear.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I I guess it was dreaming. Oh what is it, joey?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Dad? I? I yes, I need ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
What for?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I can't tell you what, John, I need it tonight
right now. It doesn't happen any question.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
What ten thousand dollars? You got to trust me?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Yes, I must have the money right now.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Alright, alright, my dear, you have to have it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I do, I do, and I I won't ask any
questions and make out a check for you right now.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
The man, did you learn anything that think you want
a lot more than anything's Margot? John? Why should she
call it suicide of her? What? One may have some
hold over her?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
From what we've got to help her?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
We will Margaret versus a little experiment. I want to try.
Those are going right? What are you gonna do.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
First, I'm gonna wrap this handkerchief on my hand. I
take George's gun, and that's the one he killed himself with.
I'm gonna fire it into those.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Couch pillars, holding it close to him up with a
report like that?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
What does that prove? Look here the handkerchief in my hand.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
How did the exactly when I first saw this gun,
I could see that it was the face, that it
had a BackFlash when it was fired.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
What does that have to do with Georgia's suit? There
was no sign of a burn on his hand, Margo.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
If he'd fired that gun, there would have been either
Dickey warre and fired the gun or held his hand
over George's and forced him.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
To pull the trigger. Are you going to turn him
onto the price as fast as I can? Margaret? You
called him so, I said it would take him some
time to get here for the coming by the east road.
The short gun. Good meantime, I'll have a talk with John.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
He disappeared. I've been looking all over for.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I don't worry, Margot.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I think the shadow will be able to find her.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Where is he? Why doesn't he come?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Wait? He for me? General?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Almost like old times, isn't it sweet, ha, Where have
you been? I had a few words and ends to
clean up unfinished business. You might say, get the money.
I've got it, well, give it to me, Give it

Who killed them? You killed them?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Dad? Please?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Oh you just look out of here. You You must
have told you, you must have told him a he
was going to find out.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
You knew what it would do to But you went
to him behind my back and told you to know.
I told you I gave you the money, But you
told him anyhow. You drove him crazy, You drove him
out of his mind, you evil Visius Rutten.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I told him why not? Now I'll be put in
an institution. That way, the.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Whitford money will be your yours.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I won't have to settle for him easily ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Don't you see how John not so convenient for you
the game shadow, It's a little inconvenient to spend money
in the death house.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Jn't didn't murder her mother. Woman. I think you did,
and I think you'll die for it.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
But he couldn't. Oh, yes, he could.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
He was in the house the day your mother died.
He could easily have destroyed the stock of medicine you
kept on hand when the attack came. You had the
rest of the village. He lets your mother die, Joe.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Not you, You sho. You can't prove that.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I don't have to. I can only hang you once.
We can't prove that you murder George Butler.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
They tell himself it was his gun.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
You put the gun against his heart and squeeze the trigger.
You murdered it.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
It's her word against mine. Is no proof.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
There's plenty of proof. That burn on your hand, the
burn from the backlash.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I burnt it with a mask.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Caraffeine test will show gun part of nitrates in it.
I'm afraid you're trapped, Dickie said.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I he's getting away.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
The east lady's running down the road. The police are
coming up right now. Do you hear that? Dickey Warren's
escort to the death houses coming to meet him fast
to face.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
The mother. The police holding Dickie war not only holding
him to have a confession. He told the whole story,
Missus Whitford's death and George is supposed to his well
on the road to recovery. You are right now the
truth of the mort bring back your health in any hospital.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Gains about taking He had no choice, Margor. The police
had George's gun. The perapine tests revealed the prisons of
gunpowder and the burn on his hand. It was almost
as though George had succeeded in marking his killer.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Well the wifit house was it? He a changed place,
and the time we arrived at the time we left.
No more Dicky Warren, Margot, no more evil in my house.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
To make the buying of security bonds as easy as possible,
the government has set up two investment plans, the Payroll
Savings Plan and the Bond of Month Plan.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
The first is aimed at those who are on a payroll.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
The employee authorizes his boss to set aside a sum
from each paycheck and use the money to buy security
bonds for him. The bond a month plan is for
those not on a payroll, for a professional manner, men
who own their own business. If you come under this heading,
you can tell your bank to issue you a bond
every month and charge the purchase price to your account.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
You can't go wrong with either of these.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Plans because you'll be saving the easy, automatic way. You'll
be paving the way for a happy future with the
money you invest. Now remember United States security bonds. Buy
as much as you can, and now back to the Shadow.

Shadow Nos, motorists, you know what type of automobile accident
often happens at night on a good road in fair weather,
which may happen when your car is the only car
the vicinity, which is very likely to result in death
(00:54):
or crippling injuries to the driver, and which, unlike most accidents,
has usually tip you off as to what may happen.
The answer to this question given by the National Safety Council,
which is currently conducting a campaign against night traffic accident,
is this, the driver simply falls asleep at the wheel.
(01:16):
And the answer to this accident problem is simply this.
Don't drive while you're sleepy. If you must drive at night,
stop for some sleep when you feel that drowsy spell
coming on. Don't let this very violent type of accident
sneak up on you in the dark. Don't let tragedy
(01:37):
catch you asleep at the wheel. And now the shadow,
the shadow which the forces of.

Law and order is in reality. Lamont Cranston, wealthy young
man about town. Years ago, Lent Clanston learned a strange

so they cannot see him. Clanston's friend and companion, the
lovely Margot Lynne, is the only person who knows to
whom the voice of the invisible Shadow belongs. Two days

Overlooking the sea.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
He grins, runs his fingers through his hair, and makes
his way up the path to.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
The door, coming.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Hello Dickey, Hello, John Dickey war where to see me?
Speaker 3 (02:58):

to greet an old friend after two long years?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
What do you want?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Why?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I thought you'd throw your arms around me and say, Thicky,
I insist you spend the night here.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
There's an inn in the village. Goodbye?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Is that a polite trying to slam the door? And

Speaker 4 (03:49):

Well i've been away.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know that old sir, out of sight, out of
mind sticks to you around here, Lung.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
That depends. I have a couple of things to do
the first days. I've got to find some place to
sleep tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Well, why not stay here with us?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
You're more than welcome, is me, Joe?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Why Lamark Cranston and Margo Lana coming out there spending
the weekend, don't you remember, George?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Of course, if there's always room for one more, how
about the.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Guest cottage one was mine? Might be delighted? I afternoon, George,
your mondy.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I just took a little walk to the village.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And who is there?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
You remember Dickie Warren?
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Dead?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yes, I remember Dickie Warren. What are you doing out
this way?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Warren? Or just passing through? Mister Whitford. I'd stop by
and say a load to my old friends. Yes, yes,
of course.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Uh won't you, hasn't he?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Dad?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
You look tired.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I am little tired. My dear didn't realize how much
to walk to garden me.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I think I'll go up to my room for a while.
You would excuse me? Anything I can get.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
For you, mister Whitford, Not a thing, thanks, George, see
you all in the morning.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Whoor Dad aged twenty years since I last saw him
his wife's sudden death.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
It's never been the same since I can understand that.
I understand it very well.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I uh I, I'd better get the guest cottage rid of.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Course, Darling, gont mind us, or I'll find plenty to
talk about.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yes, yes, I'm sure we will, George. What do you
mean nothing?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
We wouldn't think of discussing anything really important until.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
You got back.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
It went very long, Sweet Hill, I didn't see you.
I'm sorry to put you in trouble of fixing that room.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Joan. I was thinking maybe I wouldn't stay.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Oh well, if it would be rather awkward.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Sure we can get our business over with right now?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Business?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
What business? Oh? Just a little financial transaction?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
What are you talking about now?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
The ten thousand dollars. You're gonna give me.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It should be worth at least that for your father
not to know the truth about your mother's death, wouldn't it, sweetheart?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I don't know what you're talking about. It.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'm talking about how your mother really died, How you.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Ran out of the stimulant the doctor w ordered for
your mother's hot condition.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It was an accident.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I went for more convenient, though, wasn't it considering she
was dead when you got back, especially when you realize
how much you hated your mother.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
That's not true. I I thought there was enough of
the medicine I wanted to use more than I thought.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I'm sure your father would understand.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I thought, well, you can't tell him, did you can't?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It would great, Joe, if you've given me the money,
of course.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I haven't got ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You'll get it, though, oon't your jomp? Ough't you? If
I do?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Will you promised to go away and never come back?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Of course we'd hi. Of course I'll go away. You
don't think I'm enjoying this?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Do you know? There is Margot? I'm sure that's the
Whitford house up ahead.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I hope, so we're about three hours late already.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
That short cut you choke them. Well, you didn't get
off much of that didn't Well, I.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Can gather it added about twenty months.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
The trip gave me that much more of your company
is lame. You're lucky to have a lot more of it.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I wouldn't blame Joness walked us out.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
At this home. Better late than never coin a cliche.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I hear someone coming, please say, I'm giving this out.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Hello Joan, How I'm sorry we're so late. That's all right,
coming Margo. Nice to see you. George is a modern Margot.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Hello George.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Nobody going to introduce me? Thinking Warren old friend of
the family. Oh yes, how are you, mister Warren?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
How do you do? I do all right?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Thanks, miss Lane, Brandy George grandson, Miss Lane.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Not right now, I'll take one Lawrence.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Where's mister john lad Oh he's gone to dead.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
He was tired.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
He doesn't look well, Miss Lane.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Johnny tells me that I tells you what.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh that's right. It wasn't Joan, it was you, George.
You said that missus Warren's death had upset it, But
Joan did.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Tell you some other things you tore up in the
garden talking. You had quite a little chest that, George.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
We didn't talk about much, George, nothing you'd be interested in.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I wonder if you'd all excuse me.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm for tired.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I'm sorry, Margot Lamart. George will be glad to show
you to your room.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I think I'll have another Brandy tell me Laman.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Oh, no, George.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I think Joan.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Has a good idea. If it's all right with you,
Margot and I will go up uh the usual rooms.
Of course, I'll see you up. We can find our way.
Thanks George. Good night, good night, see you in the morney. Yes,
good night, Warren, mart I don't know world is going
on here? Who is Dicky Warren?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Friend of the family, As he says, the atmosphere was
considerably less than friendly.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Joe, mister Whitby always waited up to see us when
we came.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Don't worry about it, Margot. You go to your room,
get good night's sleep. What are you going to do.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I'll have a look in on mister Whitford before I
turn in. I think you feel badly if I didn't.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
At least least say good night to him.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Not drinking alone. George. Oh it's you, Warren.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That room drinker's bad, George, what do you want?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I just let her drop by have a little talk
with you before I turned in. I'd like to have
a little talk with you, Warren Hue. Who are you?
What do you want here? Well?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
That makes everything very simple, George. That's exactly what I
wanted to talk to you about.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
What do you mean by that? You know? George?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Uh, this is rather delicate, but I'm sure you'd rather
I got to the point.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Go on. Well, you see, Joan.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And I were, uh shall we say, very close friends,
and she wrote me some letters and I thought you
might like.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
To have them for a price. Of course, so whatmail?
Why I ought not.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Lose our heads, George. It's a very simple business transaction.
There's no need for hard feelings. If you won't buy
the letters, somebody else will. I'm sure the tabloids would
love to depress it.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You are crazy. Who'd buy a girl's foolish love letters?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
These aren't exactly foolish love letters, George. Add that to
the fact that they were written to an ex convict
and they become very interesting.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So you've been in jail.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
If that it all a matter of a few months
to think over a discrepancy in the client's accounts.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
What do you want money? Ten thousand dollars to be exact?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
If I give it to you and I'll step out
of the picture completely, your worries will be over. I
I I'll keep that kind of money here. I'm sorry, George,
but I can't wait. You'd better think of some way
of raising it. I'll give you one hour to figure
(11:59):
out how.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Just one hour the Whitford Are you awake? Who is it? Cranston?
I just wanted to say good night. Oh glad you hair? Laman,
(12:23):
glad your hair? Is anything wrong? Oh? No? What makes
you ask? Young warm around? Things? Seemed a little tense,
that's all.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Always seems to be trouble and worn's around. Just who
is he anyway, mister Whitford. Just the young man Joan
met a few years ago. She was madly in love.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
With him, and uh Alice died went away. Oh you
weren't going to brooge you know, just let seeing him
brings it back. Alice hated him, but bet him in
the house.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
How did you feel.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
About him, mister Whifford?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I don't know, cause the.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Rip between Alis and Joan a rip that never healed.
You mustn't think of that, mister Whitford. John may have
presented her mother's dislike of Warren, but I know she
loved him mother because cause I I shouldn't even think
of such thing. You were just tired, sir. It looked
different in the morning, I suppose, Sir. I just wish
(13:18):
Warren would go away and leave us the way we were.
You try to get some rest, mister Whitford. I'll see
what can be done about your getting your wish.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Remember this old sea wall, John, Of.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Course, George, this is where you asked me to marry.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
That's right. I brought you here to ask you another
question equally.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Important about Dicky Warren.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Why didn't you tell me about him? Joan? I could
understood if I heard it from you. What was they
to you?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Nothing to It's nothing at all. There's never been anything
between Vicky and me that I'm machined.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
What were in the letters, Joan? What about the impatient? George? God?
To satisfy your curiosity, didn't you? What are you doing here, Warren?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I just came down and see the ocean by moonlight aromatic,
isn't it, Dicky, Please reminds me of.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
That weekend at the Short Jones.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Don't remember how beautiful it was. Sun was coming up
over the horizon, and you were afraid to go home,
as I remember every one. Tell us, George, you know
you could have saved yourself this. I gave you the chance,
said up.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I said.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Let's not get melodramatic, Judge, put the gun away.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Don't pimp me one.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm getting you a chance to get out of here.
If you don't, George, please over here, fut me.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Joe, Now, George, but don't between us. Let's talk. You
had your warning, get away for my wife.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Get away.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
You don't stir up that gun charge, drop it. I'll
kill you. I tell you. You don't think so.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Gun away you You're killed him, Sticky, you killed it.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
I wouldn't say that looked more like suicide to me.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
You held a gun against his chest and pulled the trigger.
You killed him.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Been jealousy, don't you think? Or maybe business was bad?
Which do you think is a better story for the police.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
You won't get away with the.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
No one pays for suicide, sweetheart. After all, it was
Georgia's gun. His fingerprints were.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
The only one on it. He was jealous suicide.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
It wasn't suicide.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It was my love.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
As a witness, I saw it.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But there were two witnesses, Joan, and I know the
story I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I'll tell them that you're a liar and a murder.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I don't think so, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Your father found out how your mother really died would
break his mind.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You wouldn't wanna see your father put him an institution.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
So I think I know the story that you're going
to tell too.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
We'll return of the shadow in just a minute. I
like to ask a question of all you parents who
have children in school. Have you been doing your homework?
While I'm quite serious, I'm sure you've been keeping after
junior and sisters, seeing that they do their homework and
keep up the grades because you realize how vitally important
(16:26):
it is that they get a really good education. But
you actually know how good their education is, how good
the school is, their teachers. That's what I mean by
your homework. You can't just take Johnny's word on whether
the things are going well or badly in.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
School, and you can't simply.
Speaker 2 (16:44):

There's much more you should know to be sure your
children are getting the kind of education that will help
them make the best use of their abilities and hold
their own later in life. For instance, have you met
all of Johnny's teachers the principal? Does your school system
(17:04):
attract new teachers good teachers? Are they proud of their profession?
How is the school board chosen the superintendent? What educational
associations recognize your school system? Is there an active parent
teachers association? And do you take part in it? All
of this is your homework as a parent and a citizen.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Margo are visiting at the Whitford Summer Hall. Tension has
hung over the attractive seaside estate since the arrival of
Dicky Wallen, an old friend of Joan Whitford now Lamonton Margo,
I've just heard a shot from out by the sea wall.
They rush out to find Joan alone with the body
of her husband.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I'll tell you why we hurt shooting. Good thought. He's George, John.
What's happened George? He shot himself. Take care of John.
I'll see what I can do ye's I uit? So
it's God, it's his journey.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Yes, you had it for years.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'm sure I.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
See it isn't that much you've see that, I'd say, Margot,
suppose you take you in.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Back to the coteage. I'll take together.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Oh no, no, please do.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Court child.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
What a terrible thing to happen. And they were so
happy together, Yes, apparently they were.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Do you think it might NodD been Suicideamot?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
I don't think we know all the facts yet, Margot,
not by a long shot. I wonder where I think
he woren is?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Do you think he has something to do with georgia
deathmont Hess with a few questions, he Warren might have
some interesting things to say to the shadow?
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Who's that comfortable, Dickie?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I didn't hear you knock? Whoever you are?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Your door was open. Are you expecting someone, Dickie?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
The police?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Who are you? The shadow?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Dickie? But it's no use trying to see me.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
No one sees the shadow. What do you want? I
want the truth about George Butler's suicide? But was suicide?
I didn't even know he was dead. I said the truth, Dickie.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Okay, suit yourself, I tell you, I've been reading here
for the past half hour. I didn't even hear the shadow.
But I didn't tell you that George Butler had shot himself.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
You have you not?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Maybe I just guessed it the way you guess how
Missus Whitford died. Dickie, what do you know about the shadow?
Knows a great deal? Okay, so you know a great deal.
So you know Joan was responsible for her mother's death?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Was she cruse? She was?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Doctor told her to keep an extra supply of medicine
on hand and she didn't.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
It was her father. Mother died.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Criminal negligence, go on, That's all it is. Joan hated
her mother because she tried to break us up. After
Joan left, her mother started to gasp. And you were
in the house that day, Oh no, I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I just know what Joan told me later.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Where was Joan? She was gone for medicine. I told
you took her two hours. Missus Whifford was dead when
she got back. Then, how could Joone tell you what
her mother was doing when she was gone? But I
don't have to answer these questions. I'm not worried about
bringing this story out into the open.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I got nothing to lose. Joan has nothing to lose
except your life, Dickie.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's all just your life.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Dad?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Oh, Dad, what is it?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
That was my good?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
My mother?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Dad? It's me John, alright, I have the most awful dreamers.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I thought i'd last, Daddy weak up.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
This is Joan.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Joan.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Huh Oh, I'm sorry, my dear.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I I guess it was dreaming. Oh what is it, joey?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Dad? I? I yes, I need ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
What for?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I can't tell you what, John, I need it tonight
right now. It doesn't happen any question.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
What ten thousand dollars? You got to trust me?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Yes, I must have the money right now.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Alright, alright, my dear, you have to have it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I do, I do, and I I won't ask any
questions and make out a check for you right now.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
The man, did you learn anything that think you want
a lot more than anything's Margot? John? Why should she
call it suicide of her? What? One may have some
hold over her?
Speaker 4 (22:31):
From what we've got to help her?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
We will Margaret versus a little experiment. I want to try.
Those are going right? What are you gonna do.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
First, I'm gonna wrap this handkerchief on my hand. I
take George's gun, and that's the one he killed himself with.
I'm gonna fire it into those.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Couch pillars, holding it close to him up with a
report like that?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
What does that prove? Look here the handkerchief in my hand.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
How did the exactly when I first saw this gun,
I could see that it was the face, that it
had a BackFlash when it was fired.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
What does that have to do with Georgia's suit? There
was no sign of a burn on his hand, Margo.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
If he'd fired that gun, there would have been either
Dickey warre and fired the gun or held his hand
over George's and forced him.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
To pull the trigger. Are you going to turn him
onto the price as fast as I can? Margaret? You
called him so, I said it would take him some
time to get here for the coming by the east road.
The short gun. Good meantime, I'll have a talk with John.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
He disappeared. I've been looking all over for.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I don't worry, Margot.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I think the shadow will be able to find her.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Where is he? Why doesn't he come?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Wait? He for me? General?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Almost like old times, isn't it sweet, ha, Where have
you been? I had a few words and ends to
clean up unfinished business. You might say, get the money.
I've got it, well, give it to me, Give it

you get it?

Don't you see how John not so convenient for you
the game shadow, It's a little inconvenient to spend money
in the death house.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Jn't didn't murder her mother. Woman. I think you did,
and I think you'll die for it.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
But he couldn't. Oh, yes, he could.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
He was in the house the day your mother died.
He could easily have destroyed the stock of medicine you
kept on hand when the attack came. You had the
rest of the village. He lets your mother die, Joe.

Not you, You sho. You can't prove that.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I don't have to. I can only hang you once.
We can't prove that you murder George Butler.

You put the gun against his heart and squeeze the trigger.
You murdered it.
Speaker 3 (26:07):

burn from the backlash.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
The east lady's running down the road. The police are
coming up right now. Do you hear that? Dickey Warren's
escort to the death houses coming to meet him fast
to face.
Speaker 3 (26:48):

Missus Whitford's death and George is supposed to his well
on the road to recovery. You are right now the
truth of the mort bring back your health in any hospital.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Gains about taking He had no choice, Margor. The police
had George's gun. The perapine tests revealed the prisons of
gunpowder and the burn on his hand. It was almost
as though George had succeeded in marking his killer.

and the time we arrived at the time we left.
No more Dicky Warren, Margot, no more evil in my house.

To make the buying of security bonds as easy as possible,
the government has set up two investment plans, the Payroll
Savings Plan and the Bond of Month Plan.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
The first is aimed at those who are on a payroll.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
The employee authorizes his boss to set aside a sum
from each paycheck and use the money to buy security
bonds for him. The bond a month plan is for
those not on a payroll, for a professional manner, men
who own their own business. If you come under this heading,
you can tell your bank to issue you a bond
every month and charge the purchase price to your account.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
You can't go wrong with either of these.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Plans because you'll be saving the easy, automatic way. You'll
be paving the way for a happy future with the
money you invest. Now remember United States security bonds. Buy
as much as you can, and now back to the Shadow.
