Oh, the wood, the ghost, he's in the wood.
Speaker 4 (07:33):

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Whither that lightning flashed a moment ago? I were seeing

Speaker 3 (07:50):
A sign of anything.
Speaker 6 (07:51):

I will look into the shoe later, after we have
a talk with missus Bentley.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Maybe we won't have that talk with missus Bentley after all.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Look, Mago, over there on the road, a car is gone.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Your hunch was right, Lamont.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Missus Bentley must be in the cemetery that was her
car park outside.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yes, I'm picking shovel of the river. Of her car

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Its shadows along this line of trees. Will come on.

Five. Nay you can, Margo almost too.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Hello, mister, how did you get here?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You didn't leave any forwarding address, So I followed a hunch. Now,
missus Benley, let's have it. What's this all about? What
is your trying to bury? Nothing?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Believe me, it's a difficult person to believe. Look behind
her on the ground, that metal box.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
No, no, don't don't watch that fun get it through.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Please make glad to see what's in it?
Speaker 3 (09:24):

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Please don't down. Oh, I guess that's all the shooting
for now. Margot up and shot him. Where did he
come from? I don't know, but it's mark very.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Why was she killed? Probably because of this metal box
and what's in it?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
What could well look?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
M hmm?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Let me nothing to see? Market box is empty.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I got you a new shoe out of the supplier room, edie.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
They ask any questions and they gave it to you.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Gave it to me.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
You're crazy. I had to hook it man. Check's supposed
to run this place on the up and up.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
How'd you lose it?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I told you when those two chased me into the woods,
that Claire played it smart.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
But the next time the doc, good morning, pid, I
see our patient has improved considerably in such a short time.
The marbles of modern medical science what are you talking
about that you're released from athanitarium and lace of course then,
(10:57):
of course from all I can see, our patient is
completely cured. You have the bonds, there's nothing more for fun.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Come on, dot, come on, what are you giving us?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Didn't Eddie tell you said? The bonds the bound for
which he killed Claire Bentley killed that dead? Well, Eddie?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Hey, hey, hey, what goes on here?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
What are you giving me? Sid And I might ask
you the same question, Eddie. According to the Morning Papers
said clear Bentley was murdered last night at Mount Cleardal Cemetery.
The papers also told about a metal box he had
dune from a grave. The box was empty. The bonds
they were in that box. Yes, that's what I surmised, Eddie.
(11:43):
I don't know anything about it. Dark. Would I be
stopping enough to come back here if I did? He's
got something and you didn't kill her? Are you crazy?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I just wanted to put a scare into it. I
wanted her to leave me to the hiding place.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
God.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yes, you say she's dead, I didn't kill it.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Go ahead, but don't you see something's wrong? This is crazy.
If I didn't kill a doctor, hold dead?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Ah, ho dead, we'll return to the shadow in just
a minute. Somebody once said this in fun, but he
(12:31):
was nearer to the truth than he thought. The election polls,
he said, are places for you stand in line for
a chance to decide who will spend your money. It
really amounts to that, doesn't it. That and a great
deal more. For not only do you stand in line
for a chance to decide who will spend your money,
but who will keep the peace or make poor, and
(12:53):
who will make you a slave or keep you free.
That's why it's so important this year, more than ever,
that you give a lot of thought to your right
to both make it your business to know more about
the men you vote for, and then let your.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Common sense guide you.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
For if the wrong men guide our destiny, even our
right to bote may.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Be taken away.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It happened in other countries, it could easily happen here. America,
from the tiniest village on up to the fight house
is built on the ballot and bossed by the ballot.
Let's keep it that way. Guard your freedom by using
your right to vote for Remember, freedom is everybody's job.
(13:48):
In a moonlit cemetery, in the presence of Margo and Lamont.
Claire Bentley was murdered by an unseen killer. Now Lamont
and Margot are interviewing the dead woman's husband, Ralph Bentley.
Eventally we realized the news of your wife's death must
have been.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
A terrible shot for you.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I can't believe it. I just can't.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
We won't take up much of your time today.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Just a few questions.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
It's all right.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
There isn't much I can tell you, but I want
to help all I can. I can't understand who could
have done it. Claire had no enemies, don't you know?
Does the empty steel box mean anything to you, mister Bendley.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
When we've got read your wife, she said her life
was threatened by a ghost, someone who had come back
from the dead. I don't understand any of it. It's
all so strange. Ghosts.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
The wire.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I received what wire telegram that came the night before last.
It was from my business agent. I was to meet
him at his hotel in Chicago last night. When I
arrived in Chicago, he told me he didn't send the wire.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
In the martinster v he was checked in the leaving time.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The reasons pretty obvious came the killer attempt.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
To work on Hamper. Excuse me, Hello, Yes, he's just
a moment. It's you, mister Cranston, A mister Degan. Oh, yes,
I told him i'd be here. Hello Steve fine, so
I see where is it all right? Thanks very much, Steve. Well,
(15:15):
mister Bedfinck, you've been very helpful. I wish I could
have told you more.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I think you can. I'll be sure to call on you.
Let's go, Margy, goodbye Land.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Why do we leave so quickly?
Speaker 4 (15:29):
There more questions you want to ask us. It's not
small with right now.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'm more interested in a place called the Mancheck Sanitarium.
Mancheck Sanitary private mental hospital and in Western Avenue.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I'd call with from Steve Degan, a friend of mine
in the shoe business.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
You had him check on that shoe he found in
the woods ladder.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, a quantity of the same type of shoe is
recently sold to the Mancheck Sanitarium. Perhaps something interesting is
going on out there, said, I've.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Been thinking about Claire's death, something interrectly.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Or I had Eddie about Claire.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
In the bonds. Man Check could have done it well.
I was out all last night.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
You told me so yourself.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I mean the doc pulled the double cross hues possible
go on and Doc knows better he wouldn't cut me
Corners and sid Rossie. It's worth thinking about, said mh.
Maybe I will think about it. Maybe what about tonight?
Do you still want to go through with it?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Eddie?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
You better I do.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I'm not finished yet, said not by a long shot.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
The supply room would check and call me right back,
mister Benson.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You're very hope, Doctor Adams.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
You're sure this shoe is the sanitariums property, Doctor Adams,
Mister Cranston said, when you found the shoe, it was
without release. With our more serious cases, we are particularly
careful if nothing falls into their hands which could be
damaging to themselves or others.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I see a shoelace could spell trouble in the hands
of violent patience.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Exactly excuse me, doctor Adams. Oh yes, m hm, well,
thank you Peters. That was the supply room clerk, Miss Gramston.
He reports a shoe like this, the same size as
unaccounted for and.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
The mont That means that terror came from this sanitarium.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Get me documentary please just a moment, doctor, but please,
I'd appreciate it if you keep our conversation a secret
for the time being.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I'd like to work this out my own way. Could
you do me that favor?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
All right, mister Grenston, anything you say.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Thank you very much, I'll be in touch with you.
You ready, Margaret, Ready?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Goodbye, goodbye?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Thanks doctor?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
What now now, Margaret'm gona do some checking up on
Claire Bentley's husband and go back.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
And have a talk with him. What nakes you think
you'll answer?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Oh, I'm not asking the questions, Margot. I'm leaving that
to the shadow.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Who's who's in this room? Who's laughing like that?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It's the shadow Bentley Shadow. You're frightened?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Bentley?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
What why are you here?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
A man with a clear conscience has no reason to
be frightened.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
My conscience is Claire?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Is it? Have you told the truth about everything about
your wife's first husband? For instance, what you didn't tell
Cranson about Eddy Gleeson and the fifty dollars in securities
that were stolen from your firm three months ago?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
How did you know Claire was married to You didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Tell Cranston that Eddie Gleeson was killed when the warehouse
he was hiding and exploded.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
That was all in the papers.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
The story was there for anyone to read.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
That story is, but not the story later, the one
of your marriage to Eddie Gleason's widow.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I didn't want anyone to know about it.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
She was always afraid of Gleason, even after his death
and that explosion.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
He haunted her. That's why she was afraid of a ghost.
It's the truth. I swear bet her.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Be the truth, madame. If it isn't, you'll regret it
the next time the shadow returns.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Wizy, it's just a minute.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Hey, that's right, Eddie Gleeson. Only now it's head hold.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
No, you're dead. No, it's not you. You're dead.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
That's the way Claire took it badly, just like that.
I wanted to work on her first. That's why I
sent you the wire.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Use it.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I thought you I'll kill her because I I had
Badley finish.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
You killed Claire because I.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Thought it was a trick of players to get me
out of town.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
I didn't go to Chicago.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I got off the train at the first stop and
came back. I took the bond out of the box
last month. I didn't tell Claire about it. And she
was only trying to save them for me. I've been
doing a little saving too, Yeah, I was saving you
for last. You thought you had me finished in the
(20:47):
explosion you set up. Ah, but I got out before
it went off, and I'm here to tell a story.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Tell it to you.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
It wasn't my idea.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You and Claire were gonna have a great time with
that fifty thousand, weren't you.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Weren't you.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
You can hid the bonds, Adie, you can hid the thanks.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Bentley. I'll make sure to take him after I finish
with you.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Mattie, don't do this. Don't be a fool. If you
kill me, you won't get away with it. Huh.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm hiding out at a fancy institution, and if they
do catch up with me, I get away with this anyhow.
I'm crazy. That's what the doc said. They don't hang
crazy man. They just they just let him sit around
and laugh. Hey, please, you know why I am laughing, Bentley,
(21:39):
Don't do that.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I for having sakes, don't do to me.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I'm laughing because what I'm gonna do to you is
gonna make me happy.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Hey, this is gonna make me happy?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Is a lie?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Happy?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Is a lie.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Margot, Bentley is dead. Met his apartment. Now, I brought
Commissioner Western with me. We had Bentley on the floor
shop today.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Commissioner West, why what.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Evidence I gave? The Commissioner was going to arrest mentally
for the murder of his wife, Margot. I want you
to stay at home and wait for me.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Among other things, tracked down a murderous corpse, happy as
a lock. That's just how I felt that when I
gave it to Bentley loves he should have heard him
(22:46):
squeal for mercy.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Should have heard him. It was beautiful. Yes, these bombs
are beautiful too, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Real pretty dark. Fifty thousand beautiful bucks.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
How we make the split that I get out of
here him? Eddie? You know I've been thinking this over.
It's my professional opinion that it would be unwise for
you to be released tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
That's right, Eddie. We're in a bad way, Eddie. You're
much sicker than you realize.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Severe paranoia, very severe, Like.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
The doc says, Eddie, you got a real bad case
of it is.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
What are you two trying to pull? It's simple arithmetic
ATI fifty thousand divided by two is much more attractive
than fifty thousand divided by three.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Well, that gun I'm holding is liable to go off.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Go ahead. That As I said before, Eddie, you're a
very serious mental case. As a matter of fact, it's
my practiced opinion that you're incurably insane with homicidal tendencies.
I'll get you. I'll get you both for this.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
See there, you are, homicidal, real bad case.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Anyway, gotta keep you locked up here all the.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Time the rest of your.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Life, right here in this room, you.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Louzzy Nave and double cross and coats. I won't let
you get away with this. I'm not crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Not let me out of here. Let me tell you,
let me out a real homicidal mania too bad.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Very amusing, isn't it. Doctor Manchick, said a voice, the
voice the shadow Shadow Shadows.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
We're gona keep you here in this room, locked up
for the rest of my life. Don't listen. I'm not crazy.
I tell you, a serious case.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
He annoyer.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I believe it's not responsible. It's completely mad. I know
what I'm saying. I'm a doctor.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I mean you were a doctor mancheck once years ago
under the name of Stefan Kurtz. What I know all
about you, an Austrian psychiatrist who placed money about medical
ethics the ducks. You can stop acting, said, you know
all about Mancheck, And I know about you too, said
Rossi alias Sam Roman, small time chiselow who found an
(25:19):
easier way to fast money by helping Mancheck to use
the sanitarium as up front the shield fugitive from justice.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
And how you can believe me?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I know, I'm not crazy how we got out here.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Oh, I'm going to help you any.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I told you. I told you wouldn't get away with this, That's.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Right, Not one of the three of you will get
away with it.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Three Well, what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I heard everything that was said in here, including the
story you told the Mancheck and said about how you
got the bonds and killed Bentley, and now three of
you will pay for your crimes in full.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I still don't understand what happened to Eddie.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Holden in that explosion.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, Eddye and his wife Claire worked out a deal
with Bentley to steal fifty thousand dollars worth of bonds
by taking a warehouse explosion. Then Claire and Bentley double
crossed Eddie left him to die in the fire.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
But Eddie actually escaped and came backing for the money
and revenge.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
And used the sanitarium as a hideout while they worked.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
Very clever.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
But I still don't understand why Bentley killed his wife when.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
He received a fake telegram and then discovered her burying
that metal box in the cemetery. He thought she was
trying to steal the bonds from him. I see.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
And after all that, Nancheck said, and Eddie still asked
you to help them.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
They did, Margot, and I'm going to, but not in
the way they expected. Ever complained about the way your
country is being run? Ever objected to some of the laws.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Sure you have, We all have.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
It's part of the American scene to talk a loud
about something we don't like. Only trouble is, there is
too much talking going on these days. And it isn't
all our own ideas. A lot of the ideas have
been skillfully planted in our minds by outside influences.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You see what's happening.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
People who are trying to change our American way of
life are doing it slightly, doing it in such a
way that we don't realize we're being trick, but that's
not all they're doing. They know that very often when
voting comes around, a lot of us are too lazy
or too busy to vote, and then they have it
where it really hurts for their candidates. The wrong men,
(27:50):
by American standards sometimes get elected. So let's not let
it happen anymore. This story is copyrighted by Street and

Motorists.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
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 in the vicinity,
which is very likely to result in death or crippling
injuries to the driver, and which, unlike most accidents, has
usually tipped you off as to what may happen. The
answer to this question, given by the National Safety Council,
(00:59):
which is currently conducting.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
A campaign against night traffic.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Accidents, is this, the driver simply falls asleep at the wheel,
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
(01:23):
sneak up on you in the dark. Don't let tragedy
catch you asleep at the wheel. Drive carefully, and now
the shadow, the shadow who waits the forces of law
(01:45):
and owner is in reality Lamont Clmston, wealthy young man.
About tom years ago in the Orient, Clanston learned a
strange and mysterious secret the hypnotic power to cloud men's
minds so they cannot see him. Crimston's friend and companion,
the lovely Margot Lane, is the only person who knows
to whom the voice of the Invisible Shadow belongs. Two
(02:07):
Day's drama, Murder by a Corpse. The doctor and the
nurse walked through the white silence of the sanitarium corridor
and stop before the door of Room seven. The doctor
(02:31):
peers through the small glass panel in the face of
the door and nods to the attendant inside.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
The door is unlocked, opened and the doctor and nurse
walk in.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
One and doctor manscheck, good morning, Rosa us on your patient.

Typical manic depressive, THEO fantasy. Mister Heil, doctor Adams wishest
him in my office. Be there when I finished examining
the new patient. You're lying, You're in with the rest
of them. I'm not crazy. This is a trick.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
How was I do?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Excellent? I know who you are, you ses, all of you.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I'd like it. Just say at the duck here will
tell you the docs the next press. He'll tell anybody
that Eddie.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Hold and blues top severe annoy.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That is I annoy.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
That's what the experts is so severe.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
They got to watch me night to day.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
And what do they happen to pick out to do
the watch him?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Nobody?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But did Rocks he set up. Doctor worked it out
like a mad naturally.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I specialize in cases like yours that didn't.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
With a lucky day, I made the contact at SID.
I won't forget you do for this.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Oh, you can be sure we'll keep your memory quite refreshed.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Yeah, A fifty dollar bottle is something to remember.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And I don't worry. You'll get your share. But that
the telegram word perfectly. Anything left on the eight fifteen
train about his wife Claire. She remained just as you
said she.
Speaker 5 (04:43):

Cush?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Well everything said for tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, I'll set. I'll let you have the fire door
at the end of the hall.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
You just got to cut across the lawns to the
rear gate. I'll see that the gate is left unlocked.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I cover up for you here so as no one
gets wise when you are the lead.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
But remember you must return before daylight otherwise every day.
Now there you're up hebbi.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah, didn't tell us how you're going to handle that
bently day.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Hell, all the pence, It all depends on how much
Claire Bentley he's afraid of a ghost.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
In twenty Ted No, the awesy word about the mo
rover and hour late now no, I don't know what
made me turn under this road.
Speaker 2 (05:50):

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Mark, you're a front seat Driver's a thel rainstorm that
blows no road sigh the talk in the road ahead.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
There's a sign boat, Thank Heaven, Mason City ten miles.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
That's the right mount Cleardale Cemetery two miles.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
To the left. Margo, I leave the choice to you.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
To the right.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Of course, we get to Mason City.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
We'll call Naura coming down the road.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Got it straightforw Ess, I'd better pull Are you all right?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yes, for sure. We'll just shake min will.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
See how there on the other car.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I was lucky.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I was able to pull away in time.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Otherwise our destination would have automatically been changed from a
Mason City to Mount Cleardale Cemetery.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Look, it's a woman unconscious.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's probably just the shock. Here's her bag. She didn't
find any identication.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
He's coming to it.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The driver's bank.
Speaker 4 (06:53):

Speaker 4 (07:13):
You've got to believe me.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
He's in the back seat.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
You mustn't excise, but he's in the back seat.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
There's nothing back there. Missus Bentley with a pick in trouble.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Oh, the wood, the ghost, he's in the wood.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
But all of this is not in your right mind?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Whither that lightning flashed a moment ago? I were seeing
ghosts too, not.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
A sign of anything.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
The moss covered the woods always Actually three.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I'm not surprised to get away a very live ghost
wood chasing life guard.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, look the shoe.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Where did you find it?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Here the stream? It's some newly made footprints. Iv On,
there's no las. Yes, I wondered about that too.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I will look into the shoe later, after we have
a talk with missus Bentley.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Maybe we won't have that talk with missus Bentley after all.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Look, Mago, over there on the road, a car is gone.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Your hunch was right, Lamont.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Missus Bentley must be in the cemetery that was her
car park outside.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yes, I'm picking shovel of the river. Of her car
gave me the idea.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Wait, play off the crest of the hills.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
We're right from.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Its shadows along this line of trees. Will come on.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Five. Nay you can, Margo almost too.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Hello, mister, how did you get here?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You didn't leave any forwarding address, So I followed a hunch. Now,
missus Benley, let's have it. What's this all about? What
is your trying to bury? Nothing?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Believe me, it's a difficult person to believe. Look behind
her on the ground, that metal box.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
No, no, don't don't watch that fun get it through.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Please make glad to see what's in it?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
No, no, I think you don't over this.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Please don't down. Oh, I guess that's all the shooting
for now. Margot up and shot him. Where did he
come from? I don't know, but it's mark very.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Why was she killed? Probably because of this metal box
and what's in it?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
What could well look?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
M hmm?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Let me nothing to see? Market box is empty.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I got you a new shoe out of the supplier room, edie.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
They ask any questions and they gave it to you.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Gave it to me.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
You're crazy. I had to hook it man. Check's supposed
to run this place on the up and up.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
How'd you lose it?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I told you when those two chased me into the woods,
that Claire played it smart.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
But the next time the doc, good morning, pid, I
see our patient has improved considerably in such a short time.
The marbles of modern medical science what are you talking
about that you're released from athanitarium and lace of course then,
(10:57):
of course from all I can see, our patient is
completely cured. You have the bonds, there's nothing more for fun.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Come on, dot, come on, what are you giving us?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Didn't Eddie tell you said? The bonds the bound for
which he killed Claire Bentley killed that dead? Well, Eddie?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Hey, hey, hey, what goes on here?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
What are you giving me? Sid And I might ask
you the same question, Eddie. According to the Morning Papers
said clear Bentley was murdered last night at Mount Cleardal Cemetery.
The papers also told about a metal box he had
dune from a grave. The box was empty. The bonds
they were in that box. Yes, that's what I surmised, Eddie.
(11:43):
I don't know anything about it. Dark. Would I be
stopping enough to come back here if I did? He's
got something and you didn't kill her? Are you crazy?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I just wanted to put a scare into it. I
wanted her to leave me to the hiding place.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
God.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yes, you say she's dead, I didn't kill it.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Go ahead, but don't you see something's wrong? This is crazy.
If I didn't kill a doctor, hold dead?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Ah, ho dead, we'll return to the shadow in just
a minute. Somebody once said this in fun, but he
(12:31):
was nearer to the truth than he thought. The election polls,
he said, are places for you stand in line for
a chance to decide who will spend your money. It
really amounts to that, doesn't it. That and a great
deal more. For not only do you stand in line
for a chance to decide who will spend your money,
but who will keep the peace or make poor, and
(12:53):
who will make you a slave or keep you free.
That's why it's so important this year, more than ever,
that you give a lot of thought to your right
to both make it your business to know more about
the men you vote for, and then let your.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Common sense guide you.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
For if the wrong men guide our destiny, even our
right to bote may.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Be taken away.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It happened in other countries, it could easily happen here. America,
from the tiniest village on up to the fight house
is built on the ballot and bossed by the ballot.
Let's keep it that way. Guard your freedom by using
your right to vote for Remember, freedom is everybody's job.
(13:48):
In a moonlit cemetery, in the presence of Margo and Lamont.
Claire Bentley was murdered by an unseen killer. Now Lamont
and Margot are interviewing the dead woman's husband, Ralph Bentley.
Eventally we realized the news of your wife's death must
have been.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
A terrible shot for you.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I can't believe it. I just can't.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
We won't take up much of your time today.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Just a few questions.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
It's all right.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
There isn't much I can tell you, but I want
to help all I can. I can't understand who could
have done it. Claire had no enemies, don't you know?
Does the empty steel box mean anything to you, mister Bendley.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
When we've got read your wife, she said her life
was threatened by a ghost, someone who had come back
from the dead. I don't understand any of it. It's
all so strange. Ghosts.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
The wire.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I received what wire telegram that came the night before last.
It was from my business agent. I was to meet
him at his hotel in Chicago last night. When I
arrived in Chicago, he told me he didn't send the wire.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
In the martinster v he was checked in the leaving time.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The reasons pretty obvious came the killer attempt.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
To work on Hamper. Excuse me, Hello, Yes, he's just
a moment. It's you, mister Cranston, A mister Degan. Oh, yes,
I told him i'd be here. Hello Steve fine, so
I see where is it all right? Thanks very much, Steve. Well,
(15:15):
mister Bedfinck, you've been very helpful. I wish I could
have told you more.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I think you can. I'll be sure to call on you.
Let's go, Margy, goodbye Land.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Why do we leave so quickly?
Speaker 4 (15:29):
There more questions you want to ask us. It's not
small with right now.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'm more interested in a place called the Mancheck Sanitarium.
Mancheck Sanitary private mental hospital and in Western Avenue.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I'd call with from Steve Degan, a friend of mine
in the shoe business.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
You had him check on that shoe he found in
the woods ladder.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, a quantity of the same type of shoe is
recently sold to the Mancheck Sanitarium. Perhaps something interesting is
going on out there, said, I've.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Been thinking about Claire's death, something interrectly.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Or I had Eddie about Claire.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
In the bonds. Man Check could have done it well.
I was out all last night.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
You told me so yourself.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I mean the doc pulled the double cross hues possible
go on and Doc knows better he wouldn't cut me
Corners and sid Rossie. It's worth thinking about, said mh.
Maybe I will think about it. Maybe what about tonight?
Do you still want to go through with it?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Eddie?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
You better I do.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I'm not finished yet, said not by a long shot.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
The supply room would check and call me right back,
mister Benson.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You're very hope, Doctor Adams.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
You're sure this shoe is the sanitariums property, Doctor Adams,
Mister Cranston said, when you found the shoe, it was
without release. With our more serious cases, we are particularly
careful if nothing falls into their hands which could be
damaging to themselves or others.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I see a shoelace could spell trouble in the hands
of violent patience.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Exactly excuse me, doctor Adams. Oh yes, m hm, well,
thank you Peters. That was the supply room clerk, Miss Gramston.
He reports a shoe like this, the same size as
unaccounted for and.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
The mont That means that terror came from this sanitarium.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Get me documentary please just a moment, doctor, but please,
I'd appreciate it if you keep our conversation a secret
for the time being.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I'd like to work this out my own way. Could
you do me that favor?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
All right, mister Grenston, anything you say.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Thank you very much, I'll be in touch with you.
You ready, Margaret, Ready?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Goodbye, goodbye?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Thanks doctor?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
What now now, Margaret'm gona do some checking up on
Claire Bentley's husband and go back.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
And have a talk with him. What nakes you think
you'll answer?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Oh, I'm not asking the questions, Margot. I'm leaving that
to the shadow.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Who's who's in this room? Who's laughing like that?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It's the shadow Bentley Shadow. You're frightened?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Bentley?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
What why are you here?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
A man with a clear conscience has no reason to
be frightened.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
My conscience is Claire?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Is it? Have you told the truth about everything about
your wife's first husband? For instance, what you didn't tell
Cranson about Eddy Gleeson and the fifty dollars in securities
that were stolen from your firm three months ago?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
How did you know Claire was married to You didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Tell Cranston that Eddie Gleeson was killed when the warehouse
he was hiding and exploded.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
That was all in the papers.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
The story was there for anyone to read.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
That story is, but not the story later, the one
of your marriage to Eddie Gleason's widow.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I didn't want anyone to know about it.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
She was always afraid of Gleason, even after his death
and that explosion.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
He haunted her. That's why she was afraid of a ghost.
It's the truth. I swear bet her.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Be the truth, madame. If it isn't, you'll regret it
the next time the shadow returns.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Wizy, it's just a minute.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Hey, that's right, Eddie Gleeson. Only now it's head hold.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
No, you're dead. No, it's not you. You're dead.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
That's the way Claire took it badly, just like that.
I wanted to work on her first. That's why I
sent you the wire.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Use it.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I thought you I'll kill her because I I had
Badley finish.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
You killed Claire because I.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Thought it was a trick of players to get me
out of town.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
I didn't go to Chicago.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I got off the train at the first stop and
came back. I took the bond out of the box
last month. I didn't tell Claire about it. And she
was only trying to save them for me. I've been
doing a little saving too, Yeah, I was saving you
for last. You thought you had me finished in the
(20:47):
explosion you set up. Ah, but I got out before
it went off, and I'm here to tell a story.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Tell it to you.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
It wasn't my idea.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You and Claire were gonna have a great time with
that fifty thousand, weren't you.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Weren't you.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
You can hid the bonds, Adie, you can hid the thanks.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Bentley. I'll make sure to take him after I finish
with you.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Mattie, don't do this. Don't be a fool. If you
kill me, you won't get away with it. Huh.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm hiding out at a fancy institution, and if they
do catch up with me, I get away with this anyhow.
I'm crazy. That's what the doc said. They don't hang
crazy man. They just they just let him sit around
and laugh. Hey, please, you know why I am laughing, Bentley,
(21:39):
Don't do that.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I for having sakes, don't do to me.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I'm laughing because what I'm gonna do to you is
gonna make me happy.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Hey, this is gonna make me happy?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Is a lie?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Happy?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Is a lie.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Margot, Bentley is dead. Met his apartment. Now, I brought
Commissioner Western with me. We had Bentley on the floor
shop today.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Commissioner West, why what.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Evidence I gave? The Commissioner was going to arrest mentally
for the murder of his wife, Margot. I want you
to stay at home and wait for me.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Among other things, tracked down a murderous corpse, happy as
a lock. That's just how I felt that when I
gave it to Bentley loves he should have heard him
(22:46):
squeal for mercy.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Should have heard him. It was beautiful. Yes, these bombs
are beautiful too, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Real pretty dark. Fifty thousand beautiful bucks.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
How we make the split that I get out of
here him? Eddie? You know I've been thinking this over.
It's my professional opinion that it would be unwise for
you to be released tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
That's right, Eddie. We're in a bad way, Eddie. You're
much sicker than you realize.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Severe paranoia, very severe, Like.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
The doc says, Eddie, you got a real bad case
of it is.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
What are you two trying to pull? It's simple arithmetic
ATI fifty thousand divided by two is much more attractive
than fifty thousand divided by three.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Well, that gun I'm holding is liable to go off.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Go ahead. That As I said before, Eddie, you're a
very serious mental case. As a matter of fact, it's
my practiced opinion that you're incurably insane with homicidal tendencies.
I'll get you. I'll get you both for this.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
See there, you are, homicidal, real bad case.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Anyway, gotta keep you locked up here all the.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Time the rest of your.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Life, right here in this room, you.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Louzzy Nave and double cross and coats. I won't let
you get away with this. I'm not crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Not let me out of here. Let me tell you,
let me out a real homicidal mania too bad.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Very amusing, isn't it. Doctor Manchick, said a voice, the
voice the shadow Shadow Shadows.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
We're gona keep you here in this room, locked up
for the rest of my life. Don't listen. I'm not crazy.
I tell you, a serious case.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
He annoyer.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I believe it's not responsible. It's completely mad. I know
what I'm saying. I'm a doctor.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I mean you were a doctor mancheck once years ago
under the name of Stefan Kurtz. What I know all
about you, an Austrian psychiatrist who placed money about medical
ethics the ducks. You can stop acting, said, you know
all about Mancheck, And I know about you too, said
Rossi alias Sam Roman, small time chiselow who found an
(25:19):
easier way to fast money by helping Mancheck to use
the sanitarium as up front the shield fugitive from justice.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
And how you can believe me?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I know, I'm not crazy how we got out here.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Oh, I'm going to help you any.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I told you. I told you wouldn't get away with this, That's.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Right, Not one of the three of you will get
away with it.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Three Well, what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I heard everything that was said in here, including the
story you told the Mancheck and said about how you
got the bonds and killed Bentley, and now three of
you will pay for your crimes in full.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I still don't understand what happened to Eddie.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Holden in that explosion.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, Eddye and his wife Claire worked out a deal
with Bentley to steal fifty thousand dollars worth of bonds
by taking a warehouse explosion. Then Claire and Bentley double
crossed Eddie left him to die in the fire.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
But Eddie actually escaped and came backing for the money
and revenge.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
And used the sanitarium as a hideout while they worked.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
Very clever.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
But I still don't understand why Bentley killed his wife when.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
He received a fake telegram and then discovered her burying
that metal box in the cemetery. He thought she was
trying to steal the bonds from him. I see.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
And after all that, Nancheck said, and Eddie still asked
you to help them.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
They did, Margot, and I'm going to, but not in
the way they expected. Ever complained about the way your
country is being run? Ever objected to some of the laws.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Sure you have, We all have.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
It's part of the American scene to talk a loud
about something we don't like. Only trouble is, there is
too much talking going on these days. And it isn't
all our own ideas. A lot of the ideas have
been skillfully planted in our minds by outside influences.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You see what's happening.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
People who are trying to change our American way of
life are doing it slightly, doing it in such a
way that we don't realize we're being trick, but that's
not all they're doing. They know that very often when
voting comes around, a lot of us are too lazy
or too busy to vote, and then they have it
where it really hurts for their candidates. The wrong men,
(27:50):
by American standards sometimes get elected. So let's not let
it happen anymore. This story is copyrighted by Street and
