Speaker 1 (00:22):
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.
The Shadow nows once again the thrilling adventures of the Shadow,
(00:44):
the hard and relentless fight of one man against the
forces of evil. These dramatizations are designed to demonstrate forcely
to old and young alike that crime does not pay.
Last year, forest fires burned a timber to provide a
twelve month supply of newsprint for every newspaper in America.
(01:05):
They wrecked outdoor playgrounds, destroyed wildlife, and took the lives
of many people. Do you know how many separate forest
fires there were in America last year? There were one
hundred seventy five thousand of them, and over ninety percent
were caused by people. You know, it only takes a
moment's carelessness with a match, a cigarette, or a campfire
(01:27):
to set loose fire in a forest. But the same
moment of thought and awareness can save so much. If
you can start a fire through carelessness, then by being watchful,
you can prevent that fire.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Be careful.

the hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so they cannot
see him. Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Marble Lane,

is the only person who knows to whom the voice
of the Invisible Shadow belongs. Two Day's drama, Revenge is Murder.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
So I'm glad that's so the dead.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
No, no really, but cause be getting the headercise was
open like like he knew what we were doing, like
he wanted to take a good look at me, so.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
So he know me next time he saw me.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
They worked like clockwork, Commissioner, even you to the second
when my time walk opened. Well organized, all right, we'll
find some trace of the mister Golden. It strike you.
This isn't an ordinary gang of Jules Eaves, Commissioner Western,
not particularly Cranston. These men knew just what they wanted.
They even passed up trays of diamonds and watchers to
get it. And this one they called the professor.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
He was a diamond expert.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Nobody but an expert would have spotted that paced imitation
of the cowboy. They were probably tipped off to look
for it, just as they were tipped off about the timelink.
I'm the safe still think if you don't mind, Kranst,
this is police business.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Remember, Lamart, you promised you wouldn't get in the way
when the commissioner let us come along.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That's you're right, Margot. Well, I suppose he run along.
Finished dinner. That's a good idea, Cranston. I'll take a rain,
check out my dinner. I'll stay around till the lab
boys finish up here. Okay, Western, we'll drop out tomorrow.
Come along, Marco, then I Commissioner.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
All right, Darling, Now tell mama you've got an idea
perking behind that deep brown What is it?
Speaker 9 (06:37):
You know?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Why should a gang that plans a crime so well
pick the one thing in the place it's so easily identified.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Maybe they plan on hiding it until the excitement dies out?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Uh, very few crooks, very away nest eggs for the future. Margo.
Then you tell me the man they called the professor
was a diamond expert, and I suppose he was also
a diamond cutter.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I see what you mean. Then if the stone would cut,
it couldn't be identified and the gang would.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Be steep exactly. By taking only that one stone, they
cut down the risk of being caught.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Sounds like the answered, what are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Have a talk with the underworld contact. I know, Margo,
you may be able to tell me where to find
the diamond expert was also a diamond cutter.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You hm like, huh h.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
W what is it you, doctor Strickler? Now look here?
How'd you get in here?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's after ours?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
The office is called the emergency. I need tight me
get up now just a minute.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I can't just hand on.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I like to get up. This is most irregular. Good
heavens man, how did you ever get here with that
head wound? Fix it up? Let me take a look
at that mm gunshot? Huh sorry, I'll have to notify
the police regulation. I got my own regulations. It's forty five.
Say you don't know how ify? Anybody? Thankes it out?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Will be reasonable.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Even if I didn't fix you up, the first exertion
would bring out a hemorrhage wasting. Finally, about time, doc,
and I ain't got time to waste there?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Like I sail right?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Sure life with proper care, you might be saved. But
have it your own way. What are you doing carrying
an anesthetic on?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I stay awake. I bet you won't get tempted to
make some telephone. I can't be responsible if you force
me to perform this operation without anasty. Nobody's asking you
to be responsible. All I want you to do is
to patch me up. Is I I can walk out
of hair, hon, and I'll be good. It wakes minutes, hours, days,
even with luck, certainly no more good enough. Actually, give
me time to do the three jobs I gotta do
(08:46):
before I cash in. Okay, get started, Doc, Yeah, okay,
you guess me.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Doto let me in, Hi high pitch the car like
your said, goods, come on it's side.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Professor's ready to cut the side I professor.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
No, No, don't the boys?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I think we're ready. It's gonna be all right, Professor hope.
So I think I got the grain figures. So she'll
cut three even sizes. Each beat should be worth a
quarter of a million.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Is that the stomach, Professor? That holcome much?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
That's the coating I applied for cutting or produce the
chances of miss?
Speaker 10 (09:33):
So what if there's a mission.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
There's a miss? Do though, your share won't be worth
a cent. Alright, your go. I'll hold the stone. You
turn that advice until I tell you to stop. He's in. Uh,
he's a stop. Hand me that mallet and chisel.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Yeh h it be awful careful, how professor? Awful careful?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh? Here goes boys.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
I I can't look, jigger.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
What happens? You can open your eyes, both of you.
A perfect cut anyway, one for you don't know, one
for jigger? Yeah? What a rock?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Is that gorgeous? What I won't buy for? Prey be?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And now we's scatter all up and lay load.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
We don't see each other again, Professor.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Never, there's one job to take care of us for
the rest of our lives.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Lamart, are you sure we're doing the right thing?
Speaker 11 (10:44):
After all, this is the least business.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Maybe we should call west him.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I suppose it's a false trail, Margot. After all we
know is that the next diamond cutter is a lab
down here. For all we know, there may be nothing
to us.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
But maybe you're right.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Where is this?
Speaker 12 (11:00):
And that must be it?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Right across the road?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Come on, I uh.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Suppose it would be a waste of time trying to
talk you out of it.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yes, that's what I thought it. Let's go, good girl.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Locked?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
No what oh, faint heart never broke into empty houses, Darling,
this little gadget. Take care of that h inside quickly
before somebody want us a long right. Ooh, that's the
old place. Doesn't look as if anybody ever uses table
over there might have been used late there.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Hm, it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
I'm sure it must be, Darling. Do you mind letting
me in on it.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It's the s vice, A mallet and chisel, the kind
used in diamond cutting.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Look at those bits of clay like it's a good.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Cool Yes, diamond cutter is usually pack of stone and
it's before cutting it.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Now, it's the size of this one.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
You think it with the Calvo diamond.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
It's the only stone that size. You notice there are
only three segments. They're originally four bandits.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
The wounded one must have done this, maybe.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
How could you explain this?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Blood?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
A drop of blood fresh blood? If the mellet and
chisel are covered with dust.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Well, maybe the injured man was here after the others,
after the diamond was got.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yes, very probably, ok. Care some more drops slept the trail.
Where does the trail eat the money nowhere from here, Margo, Well,
I think if we can pick it up again, we
might pick up the trail of the Calver Diamond.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Is the.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Oh so you baby, this is Dodo? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

Strickland has has identified Ricky as a many treatment.

hole in his head the size of the Holland tongue.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I know he's dead, but he's come back to get even.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
How can he come back if he's dead?
Speaker 2 (16:38):

You think maybe he died of old age.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Okay, so Ricky's come back for a half a million bucks.
I look a whole crew of ghosts in the face
and not mean nothing.
Speaker 3 (16:48):

You take my share to store.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It doesn't go away a fortune, jigger, take it, take it,
shoot yourself. I don't mind taking anybody's quarter of a
million bucks.

They ain't put in pockets and shrouds this season.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
You don't understand, mister Cranston. I told the police all
I knew about this man, Ricky, did you, doctor Strickland everything?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I don't think I understand.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
You heard about the murder of a hudlum named Dodo Dooley.
Why yes, I heard it on a news program this morning.
There was a trail of blood leading from the room.
I believe the killer was the man you treated.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
I see, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Is there anything you can tell me, doctor, Mister Cranston,
I'm going to be frank with you. I didn't tell
the police everything. No, Ricky raved a lot while I
treated him. He he believed his gang had double crossed
him and he wanted revenge. Who were those men? I
didn't pay much attention at the time. Was one of
them called professor something like that? You know that, mister Cranston,
(18:05):

might have been saved, that you've been frank with the police.
I'm sorry, mister Cranston.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I well, when the man left my.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Office, I didn't think he would live out the hour.

the first time I talked to him, Darling, Well, because
he said he heard about Dodos murder on a news
program that was in the morning, Yet the news wasn't
released until that afternoon.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Why didn't you take him in there?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Because that wasn't evidence. Later I went back and searched
the building in the cellar found Ricky's body hidden in
Strickland's medical locker. Strickland hadn't killed him though, No, he
died during the operation, But before he did, he babbled
about the diamond and the three men who double crossed him,
told about the gang hideouts, the code knock.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Everything, and that's when Strickland got the idea to masquerade
his Ricky. But he doesn't seem possible a doctor.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Doing all that, Well, he wasn't a doctor when he
committed the murders Western Czech Strickland had lost his license
for a legal practice shortly before Ricky came to him.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Oh well, come on, Darling, we've got to hurry. That's right.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
We shouldn't keep the commissioner waiting.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
We certainly shouldn't and dolling what during dinner? You will
be polite, won't you?
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Why?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yes? Because I'm sure western want to tell us all
about how he solved the mystery of the Calver retirement.
(27:11):
When Congress passes the law, you don't like, kick about it.
That's your privilege, but disobey it, and you forfeit your freedom.
And I don't mean necessarily that you'll be put in jail.
I mean that you, as an American, are a free man.
You are free because the laws of our nation make
(27:32):
you free. So if you try to evaid the law,
you're ruining your own freedom. Now, if you don't agree
with the law, the American way to change it is
to work to get it changed. But you must obey
it while it's still law. Sure, there are some bum
laws made. Laws, like other things, human are often full
of imperfection. But we've got the wonderful privilege here in
(27:55):
America of speaking up and letting Congress know what we think.
Let's hold onto this privilege by obeying every law. Or
when law ends, tyranny begins. Only the law can keep
us free, and freedom is everybody's job. Now back to
the Shadow. This story is copyrighted by Street and Spit

next week, same time, same station, when the Shadow will
again demonstrate that the weed of crime, there's bitter fruit.
Crime does not pay the Shadows. Next week, same time,
(29:07):
same station, we bring you another strange and thrilling adventure
in the Shadows daring battle against the forces of evil.
The part of Lamont Cranston was played by Brett Morrison,
margol By Grace Matthews. The program came to you from
New York. This is the mutual Don Lee Broadcasting System.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.
The Shadow nows once again the thrilling adventures of the Shadow,
(00:44):
the hard and relentless fight of one man against the
forces of evil. These dramatizations are designed to demonstrate forcely
to old and young alike that crime does not pay.
Last year, forest fires burned a timber to provide a
twelve month supply of newsprint for every newspaper in America.
(01:05):
They wrecked outdoor playgrounds, destroyed wildlife, and took the lives
of many people. Do you know how many separate forest
fires there were in America last year? There were one
hundred seventy five thousand of them, and over ninety percent
were caused by people. You know, it only takes a
moment's carelessness with a match, a cigarette, or a campfire
(01:27):
to set loose fire in a forest. But the same
moment of thought and awareness can save so much. If
you can start a fire through carelessness, then by being watchful,
you can prevent that fire.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Be careful.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
The Shadow awaited, the forces of law and daughter is
in reality. Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town years ago.
In the audience, Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret,
the hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so they cannot
see him. Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Marble Lane,
(02:08):
is the only person who knows to whom the voice
of the Invisible Shadow belongs. Two Day's drama, Revenge is Murder.
(02:30):
It is late afternoon in the private office of an
exclusive jewelry store. The proprietor is storing away trays of
diamond rings, bracelets, and other valuables. Suddenly, the door opens
and three men file into the room. The jeweler looks
up as the door closes, as I'm putting these rag

Speaker 4 (03:57):

storing professor.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You keep your eyes on the road, do doot me
and Jigger will worry about him? What he think? Professor?
I think he's finished overtimes lugging him along. I say,
like dick, you well, maybe he ain't that, but a
hole like that in his head? Behave I suppose we

Speaker 5 (04:26):
You?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
What about his share? We split it up? Is that bad?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
He talk me into it? Ah?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
He stopt like a drigger.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
That's smart dot like the professor says, he's practically that anyway,
he decided talking about the extra cabbage.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Uh yeah, yeah, I see.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
What you mean.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Uh huh, where do we do it?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
See that covered up ahead?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Stop there do don't okay, here we are, give me
a hand with him out? Yeh huh now yep, I go.
How long were here? Happy dream? Okay? Don't know what
are you waiting for? I'm gone, I'm gone.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
So I'm glad that's so the dead.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
No, no really, but cause be getting the headercise was
open like like he knew what we were doing, like
he wanted to take a good look at me, so.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
So he know me next time he saw me.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
They worked like clockwork, Commissioner, even you to the second
when my time walk opened. Well organized, all right, we'll
find some trace of the mister Golden. It strike you.
This isn't an ordinary gang of Jules Eaves, Commissioner Western,
not particularly Cranston. These men knew just what they wanted.
They even passed up trays of diamonds and watchers to
get it. And this one they called the professor.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
He was a diamond expert.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Nobody but an expert would have spotted that paced imitation
of the cowboy. They were probably tipped off to look
for it, just as they were tipped off about the timelink.
I'm the safe still think if you don't mind, Kranst,
this is police business.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Remember, Lamart, you promised you wouldn't get in the way
when the commissioner let us come along.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That's you're right, Margot. Well, I suppose he run along.
Finished dinner. That's a good idea, Cranston. I'll take a rain,
check out my dinner. I'll stay around till the lab
boys finish up here. Okay, Western, we'll drop out tomorrow.
Come along, Marco, then I Commissioner.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
All right, Darling, Now tell mama you've got an idea
perking behind that deep brown What is it?
Speaker 9 (06:37):
You know?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Why should a gang that plans a crime so well
pick the one thing in the place it's so easily identified.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Maybe they plan on hiding it until the excitement dies out?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Uh, very few crooks, very away nest eggs for the future. Margo.
Then you tell me the man they called the professor
was a diamond expert, and I suppose he was also
a diamond cutter.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I see what you mean. Then if the stone would cut,
it couldn't be identified and the gang would.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Be steep exactly. By taking only that one stone, they
cut down the risk of being caught.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Sounds like the answered, what are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Have a talk with the underworld contact. I know, Margo,
you may be able to tell me where to find
the diamond expert was also a diamond cutter.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You hm like, huh h.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
W what is it you, doctor Strickler? Now look here?
How'd you get in here?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's after ours?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
The office is called the emergency. I need tight me
get up now just a minute.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I can't just hand on.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I like to get up. This is most irregular. Good
heavens man, how did you ever get here with that
head wound? Fix it up? Let me take a look
at that mm gunshot? Huh sorry, I'll have to notify
the police regulation. I got my own regulations. It's forty five.
Say you don't know how ify? Anybody? Thankes it out?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Will be reasonable.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Even if I didn't fix you up, the first exertion
would bring out a hemorrhage wasting. Finally, about time, doc,
and I ain't got time to waste there?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Like I sail right?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Sure life with proper care, you might be saved. But
have it your own way. What are you doing carrying
an anesthetic on?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I stay awake. I bet you won't get tempted to
make some telephone. I can't be responsible if you force
me to perform this operation without anasty. Nobody's asking you
to be responsible. All I want you to do is
to patch me up. Is I I can walk out
of hair, hon, and I'll be good. It wakes minutes, hours, days,
even with luck, certainly no more good enough. Actually, give
me time to do the three jobs I gotta do
(08:46):
before I cash in. Okay, get started, Doc, Yeah, okay,
you guess me.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Doto let me in, Hi high pitch the car like
your said, goods, come on it's side.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Professor's ready to cut the side I professor.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
No, No, don't the boys?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I think we're ready. It's gonna be all right, Professor hope.
So I think I got the grain figures. So she'll
cut three even sizes. Each beat should be worth a
quarter of a million.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Is that the stomach, Professor? That holcome much?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
That's the coating I applied for cutting or produce the
chances of miss?
Speaker 10 (09:33):
So what if there's a mission.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
There's a miss? Do though, your share won't be worth
a cent. Alright, your go. I'll hold the stone. You
turn that advice until I tell you to stop. He's in. Uh,
he's a stop. Hand me that mallet and chisel.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Yeh h it be awful careful, how professor? Awful careful?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh? Here goes boys.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
I I can't look, jigger.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
What happens? You can open your eyes, both of you.
A perfect cut anyway, one for you don't know, one
for jigger? Yeah? What a rock?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Is that gorgeous? What I won't buy for? Prey be?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And now we's scatter all up and lay load.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
We don't see each other again, Professor.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Never, there's one job to take care of us for
the rest of our lives.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Lamart, are you sure we're doing the right thing?
Speaker 11 (10:44):
After all, this is the least business.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Maybe we should call west him.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I suppose it's a false trail, Margot. After all we
know is that the next diamond cutter is a lab
down here. For all we know, there may be nothing
to us.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
But maybe you're right.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Where is this?
Speaker 12 (11:00):
And that must be it?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Right across the road?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Come on, I uh.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Suppose it would be a waste of time trying to
talk you out of it.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yes, that's what I thought it. Let's go, good girl.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Locked?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
No what oh, faint heart never broke into empty houses, Darling,
this little gadget. Take care of that h inside quickly
before somebody want us a long right. Ooh, that's the
old place. Doesn't look as if anybody ever uses table
over there might have been used late there.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Hm, it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
I'm sure it must be, Darling. Do you mind letting
me in on it.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It's the s vice, A mallet and chisel, the kind
used in diamond cutting.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Look at those bits of clay like it's a good.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Cool Yes, diamond cutter is usually pack of stone and
it's before cutting it.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Now, it's the size of this one.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
You think it with the Calvo diamond.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
It's the only stone that size. You notice there are
only three segments. They're originally four bandits.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
The wounded one must have done this, maybe.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
How could you explain this?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Blood?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
A drop of blood fresh blood? If the mellet and
chisel are covered with dust.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Well, maybe the injured man was here after the others,
after the diamond was got.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yes, very probably, ok. Care some more drops slept the trail.
Where does the trail eat the money nowhere from here, Margo, Well,
I think if we can pick it up again, we
might pick up the trail of the Calver Diamond.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Is the.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Oh so you baby, this is Dodo? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
what good?
Speaker 1 (13:00):

We'll return to the shadow in just a minute.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The day following the sensational theft of the famous Calvoy
diamond by four bandits, Lamont, Cranston and Margoline dropped by
Commissioner Western's office. Just wonder what kind of progress you've
been making in the drew burglary Western? Well, but sure
any leads Commission several Margot. First thing this morning, a
doctor Strickland reported giving medical assistance to a man with
(15:05):
the same type of head wound described by the Jewel
of good work. Then you've got him now, not chat.
He held a gun up the doctor and escaped. Doctor
Strickland has has identified Ricky as a many treatment.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Then the wounded man is still alive he was when
he left.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The doctor's officer that maybe something on the case. Now,
what is it saying, Mission Dodo Dooley, I do an
associated boss Ricky would shot to death and rooming house
murderer believed wounded that trail of blood from room true?
(15:40):

interest in him was his former connection with Ricky. What

Speaker 1 (16:15):
I told you we were just split up, that we
weren't to see each other anymore, jigger, cause I had.

Speaker 11 (16:21):
Well, Toto's dead, spring down by a forty five?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
So what who's Ricky's did it? It was a boss?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You're crazy, jigger. The boss is dead. He had a
hole in his head the size of the Holland tongue.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I know he's dead, but he's come back to get even.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
How can he come back if he's dead?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
How about Toto?
Speaker 11 (16:39):
You think maybe he died of old age.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Okay, so Ricky's come back for a half a million bucks.
I look a whole crew of ghosts in the face
and not mean nothing.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I don't want any part of it.
Speaker 11 (16:49):
You take my share to store.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It doesn't go away a fortune, jigger, take it, take it,
shoot yourself. I don't mind taking anybody's quarter of a
million bucks.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
I hope you'd get a chance to spend it, Professor.
They ain't put in pockets and shrouds this season.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
You don't understand, mister Cranston. I told the police all
I knew about this man, Ricky, did you, doctor Strickland everything?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I don't think I understand.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
You heard about the murder of a hudlum named Dodo Dooley.
Why yes, I heard it on a news program this morning.
There was a trail of blood leading from the room.
I believe the killer was the man you treated.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
I see, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Is there anything you can tell me, doctor, Mister Cranston,
I'm going to be frank with you. I didn't tell
the police everything. No, Ricky raved a lot while I
treated him. He he believed his gang had double crossed
him and he wanted revenge. Who were those men? I
didn't pay much attention at the time. Was one of
them called professor something like that? You know that, mister Cranston,
(18:05):
are just my name. You realize that a man's life
might have been saved, that you've been frank with the police.
I'm sorry, mister Cranston.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I well, when the man left my.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Office, I didn't think he would live out the hour.
As a matter of fact, I don't see how he
could be alive right now.
Speaker 11 (18:32):
Well, maybe the professor was right. Maybe there was a
second and throw away my sharees stall had a ricked
a little chicken, would he crossed him?

storm would only let up, it won't drive me nuts.
I must be going soft like jigger fool tossing away

Speaker 13 (23:19):
He's dead, cold wise. He's been dead a long time,
ever since we left, and he's been dead.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's right, Professor, he's been dead a long long time.
You Ricky put your hair on the floor. Dead. There
can be two of you. Must be going crazier. You're
not Ricky now, Professor, I'm not. But you're wearing his clothes, nobody, bandage.
(23:54):
You don't even sound like him.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
This is the end of the trail, Professor. Wait a minute.
I don't know how Ricky's body got here, but that's
not important. Now you have the last two pieces of
the diamond. I want them. Who are you? My name
is doctor Strickland. That doctor Ricky came to to get matched.
Exactly before he died on the operating table, he told
me an interesting story about a million dollar diamond he
(24:19):
was going after the pieces when he couldn't, I decided
I would. Then you killed and jigger And now you, professor,
you understand I can't leave any loose strings lying around. Okay,
I know, and I'm late. The dimond is on that
table in the back of your so yours. Well, how
(24:40):
are you being sensible? Let me call your time surprised
to Doc paulin Pernoli like that. Now I got the
gun and I'll have all three parts of that time
and give me do roodshair. Look, professor, let's make a deal.
I'll give you my shore. Don't have to give it.
I'm taking look behind your professor, you don't think I
pall for this.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
He you didn't say that, Doc, who did?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
There's no one there.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
The shadow is here. I'll take that deal. You offer this.
Two of us to want of him. It's us against him.
A deal, deal, come to the door. I'll take the window.
You're wasting your time, Professor. You're the ones who are trapped,
not I to come of.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
The room experience.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
We'll find you. And when we do, and you do,
all you'll find is the law. The law, yes, doctor,
A riot squad all for you and would you believe it.
They're on their way here right now.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Lamon, are you going to tell you what happened?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Or are you going to be mean?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And let me get I suspect the doctors stricken from
the first time I talked to him, Darling, Well, because
he said he heard about Dodos murder on a news
program that was in the morning, Yet the news wasn't
released until that afternoon.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Why didn't you take him in there?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Because that wasn't evidence. Later I went back and searched
the building in the cellar found Ricky's body hidden in
Strickland's medical locker. Strickland hadn't killed him though, No, he
died during the operation, But before he did, he babbled
about the diamond and the three men who double crossed him,
told about the gang hideouts, the code knock.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Everything, and that's when Strickland got the idea to masquerade
his Ricky. But he doesn't seem possible a doctor.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Doing all that, Well, he wasn't a doctor when he
committed the murders Western Czech Strickland had lost his license
for a legal practice shortly before Ricky came to him.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Oh well, come on, Darling, we've got to hurry. That's right.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
We shouldn't keep the commissioner waiting.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
We certainly shouldn't and dolling what during dinner? You will
be polite, won't you?
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Why?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yes? Because I'm sure western want to tell us all
about how he solved the mystery of the Calver retirement.
(27:11):
When Congress passes the law, you don't like, kick about it.
That's your privilege, but disobey it, and you forfeit your freedom.
And I don't mean necessarily that you'll be put in jail.
I mean that you, as an American, are a free man.
You are free because the laws of our nation make
(27:32):
you free. So if you try to evaid the law,
you're ruining your own freedom. Now, if you don't agree
with the law, the American way to change it is
to work to get it changed. But you must obey
it while it's still law. Sure, there are some bum
laws made. Laws, like other things, human are often full
of imperfection. But we've got the wonderful privilege here in
(27:55):
America of speaking up and letting Congress know what we think.
Let's hold onto this privilege by obeying every law. Or
when law ends, tyranny begins. Only the law can keep
us free, and freedom is everybody's job. Now back to
