Speaker 2 (02:00):
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents come in. Welcome. I'm e. G. Marshall,

(02:26):
mediator between this world of reality and the other world
of illusion, although admittedly few of us can keep them straight.
The road to hell, they say, is paved with good intentions,
and you might justifiably ask, how does this happen? Well,
the first building blocks are honest and square. But as

(02:50):
you travel downward, the light becomes dimmer and the way narrower,
and before you know it, that fine line between good
and evil is lost in the darkness. And although you
begin by reaching for a star, you end up by
falling into the pit. Jim, we have to call the police.

(03:13):
Just sit tight, Billy, sit tight. But we should call
the police. Let's not be hasty. It's the law. I
understand that. But you got but what is there a
conceivable reason for not doing our duty as citizens and
calling the police? Yes there is, mister Congressman, there is.
What are you saying. I'm saying if you call the police,

(03:38):
you will never be elected Gonor. Our mystery drama Party
Girl was written especially for the Mystery Theater by Sam
Dan and Stars, Mason Adams. It is sponsored in part

(03:59):
by anhuid A Bush Incorporated, brewers of Budweiser, and your
singer Sewing Center. I'll be back shortly with Act one.
You're about to meet two beautiful people. Let us consider

(04:23):
the gentleman first. He's just past thirty five. He's handsome,
he's intelligent, he's rich. He's destined to go far, or
so it seems. The young lady is in her twenties.
She is slender, blonde, pretty, indeed, a fit companion for
the gentleman. I'm sorry to say that most these people

(04:46):
are just slightly inebriated. They are at the gentleman's summer home,
actually in his den. He is a sporting gentleman. He
has invited her here to look at his spectacular collection
of firearms. Why not don't artistic gentlemen invite ladies to
look at their edging?

Speaker 7 (05:05):
Well?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yes, but whoever heard of anyone being killed by an etching?

Speaker 8 (05:13):
I don't know the first thing about guns, but I
bet I recognize the prize.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
You sure did, Suki. That's a Belgian twenty nine caliber
armand a Vizier Armand who hey, why did they call
you Suki.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
This revolver is so pretty.

Speaker 8 (05:30):
I don't know anything about guns, but this is so pretty.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
So don't don't point it. For goodness, even if it
isn't loaded, you should never point it.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
Like a beautiful piece of machineer.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Hey, you didn't tell me why your name is Suki?

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Oh my father called me Suki?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Is that so?

Speaker 7 (05:49):
Why?

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Well?

Speaker 5 (05:51):
He had two daughters.

Speaker 8 (05:52):
You call one poly so he could tell her to
put the kettle on, and you name me Suki so
you could tell me to take it off.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
You're joking, eh, Papa.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Poor papa. If you could see what's happened with a
little suity, it breaks hot.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Ah, don't say that you're a great little girl.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
I'm sorry, really, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
You know what I think? I think you need a drink.

Speaker 8 (06:18):
Yeah, that's right, I do need a drink. I never
used to drink. What am I hanging around here for?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
The evening's young? We're gonna have a lot of laughs.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
I mean, what am I hanging around on this earth for?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh, you're a profound one. What am I hanging around
on this earth for?

Speaker 5 (06:39):
I mean, Billy, get your name, Billy.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Let's join the others. You'll feel better.

Speaker 9 (06:46):
No, thank you, Billy. You're awful cute. But I shouldn't
hang around. You know what Papa said when you were
at You're.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Welcome mon, Suki. The night hasn't even started.

Speaker 8 (07:02):
I'm not welcome in this world anymore. I think I'll
leave in this I'm out. Whatever its name is.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Don't don't do that, Suki. You shouldn't even in a joke. Life, Suki.
Life is so precious. You shouldn't just make jokes. No,
there's no use pointing at yourself.

Speaker 10 (07:22):
Zuk.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
It isn't loaded, you see well he is.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
At first, you don't succeed.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Try again, and I told you and not put the
gun again? Look, Suki, would you? Would you put that
down before I take it away from you? And again Suki,
and again Suki, Suki, suk God, yess it was. She stared, Jim.

(07:57):
She said, look at her, she's dead. How did it happened, Billy?
She was, Oh, she was fooling with a gun and
and it went off just like that. To me, You've
got to believe me and want to believe you. I
want to believe you in the worst way.

Speaker 11 (08:12):
I don't.

Speaker 12 (08:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I think she was she was depressed. She she really
thought she wanted to kill her? Say, why, how would
I know why? This is the first time I ever
met her. Jimmy, we're gonna have to call a police. No, no, no, no,
not just sit, just sit for a minute. What else
can we do? Wish? Now, you know what happens if
we call the police. But what do you mean if
we call the police? Just press the media and they'll

(08:35):
be all over this thing like a swarm, because we
have to call a police, don't we You see, Billy,
Look what everyone will want to know is what was
she doing here that way? We've got to think about
this from every angle. Jim, Jim, what are we gonna do?

Speaker 6 (08:53):
All right?

Speaker 2 (08:54):
The first thing we have to do is to be calm, calm, Yeah, yeah,
what time is it now?

Speaker 7 (09:00):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's eight o'clock now? Uh uh oh, you're gonna have
to come down with a headache, a very bad headache. Lord,
I have got a headache. Now I'll get rid of
everybody at apartment. To Jim, we have to call a police. No,
I know you keep saying that, to keep saying this.
All will know that she was here. No, nobody knows her,

(09:21):
nobody's seen her. The two of you got here early
and uh and you you hadn't made your grand appearance yet.
Now we're covered on that snot what do you mean covered? Billy? Billy,
just let me handle everything now. Don't you move out
of this room. Don't you show your face? Haye o' clock.
We uh, we can't make it too abrupt. We'll have

(09:44):
to let the let the party run for a couple
of hours. Jim, Jim, Once we get everybody out of
the house, what are you doing either? Hey, how's it coming?

Speaker 6 (09:54):
Everybody?

Speaker 12 (09:55):
Have enough to eat and drink?

Speaker 7 (09:57):
A great is Arthur?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah? Please, Jim, are already you've got to come to
the dend this minute. We have got problems. Who's that now?
Who would it be? Billy already took care of everything
now first he got everybody out of the house diplomatically

(10:21):
and tact Jim, I've been thinking, you don't have to
think anymore. All you have to do is forget oh, yeah, yeah,
forget oh. We got everybody out by ten thirty, and
then when we were all alone, we arranged the other thing. Jim,
don't use weasel words to cover up. Say what you did.
You got rid of the body, right, We drove her
car back to town. We parked in front of her apartment building,

(10:46):
and the police will find her in the front seat. Oh, Jim, jim,
this is wrong. In politics, you see, right and wrong
become a matter of time and place. The police will
think she was robbed and murdered, welt up. That'll be
the end of the matter, the end of the matter.
What could we have done? She she was a foolish girl.

(11:07):
It wasn't your fault. It was my fault. Every gun
in the collection, I'm so careful to make sure that
they're empty, But there was a live round in one
of the chambers of the arm under the easier, all right,
But she was a girl who wanted the shammers. What
I'm not facing up to is the other thing. One

(11:28):
other things. Why did I bring her here in the
first place? You know why you need her and and
all the others because you and Cecily are finished. Well,
then why don't I divorce Cecily? Because if you do
the career, fill the career. It's all the career now,
isn't it. It's not even my career. It's the career.

(11:50):
It belongs to all of us. The way we work
for you the way we would just put everything out
on the line. Sure, Billy, please, oh please, don't throw
yourself and all of us away. You just let me
think for a while, gym, just let me think.

Speaker 7 (12:18):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Here, we had a homicide last night. You uh got
the report? Man, you're a captain twenty five, name of
Suki Prentice. The model was uh? Was she a mom
or you in kind to her? She was foine sitting
behind the driver's eating her car, a blue two door
Alliance Edan, which was parked in front of her apartment
building at three thirty four West. Palmer shot once in

(12:41):
the right temple twenty nine caliber bullet. Twenty nine caliber
a funny caliber. I would use the word funny, but
I agree. Time at death set at APM. A body
discovered by foot patrolman at twelve eighteen am. Anybody hear anything, No,
nobody's saw anything. It's a very residential neighborhood motive, parent motive. Robbery.

(13:03):
First was lying beside her, open and empty, no oney
inside Markings on fingers and wrists show evidence of her
having warm jewelry, So it was robbery. Well, why do
you say a parent motive? How does this one look
to you, Captain, Well, I think the report says it
she pulled up in front of her house somewho it happens,
buying sticks her up. Maybe she panics her. Maybe he's

(13:25):
a psycho when he kills her. But you don't think so.
I can tell all right? What bothers you? The report
says she slumped behind the wheel of the car. But
the bullet wound is in the right temple now it
should be in the left temple. What did the killer
do reach all the way around inside? Maybe maybe she
turned her head. She'd have to be a contotionist. Yeah, yeah,

(13:47):
I'm gonna spend a while on it. I don't want
you to do side rig doorbells and ask if anyone
saw something. It could be a career in itself. Something
else bothers me? Where was the hop on the beat?

Speaker 7 (14:07):
Hello?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Their officer Malone? An old sergeant Malone? How are you
as a ticket rider? Food depends on the mood i'm in.
I guess some nights I ticket everything in sight, and
then I have nights where I love Alma filament. I
forgive them their little traffic trash passages? And how were
you last night? Last night I was a lion raging

(14:30):
through the street. Nothing, no one escape my wrass. Right
here in front of three thirty four West Palmer, the
sign says no parking at any time. Whoa, that is
my favorite spot. I call it the quota corner. There's
always someone breaking the law right here. Real well, you
let someone get away with it last night. Oh no,

(14:52):
there was a convertible park there between seven and ten,
and he there couldn't have been a convertible park in
front of three thirty four between seven and ten. What
are you telling me? I know who I can because
at eight o'clock a Mesuki Prentice was shot to death
there in her car, and she wasn't spotted till after
midnight when your relief man took over. Lolono. So the

(15:13):
fact is you didn't even walk this part of the
beat for the four hours between eight and twelve hour.
A little bit of cooping on the beat might be okay,
but you must have had yourself a slumber party, Satin Crevic.
I put in a full eight hours. I patrol every
square of that beat. Not only did you not take
in a car that was illegally parked, but you didn't

(15:34):
even notice that a woman was slumped over the wheel dead.
Now you better listen to this sagine. At seven pm,
I am in front of three thirty four. Okay, a
blue NMC convertible is illegally parked. I ride him up.
I passed by once an hour. He's still there at eight,

(15:55):
at nine, at ten, at eleven, he's gone and the
spot is empty. So I don't know anything about your
true door sedan with a dead dame in it. But
that's impossible. You want to see my duplicates going down
to headquarters. I turned him in this morning. She wasn't

(16:18):
killed in front of the house, Captain. She was killed
somewhere's else. Okay, Ben, as much as I've summer, this
becomes another kind of crime. It's no longer some wood
who spots of mark and moves in at something else.
What what it means? It's a It's a killing with
a with a with a texture. Come on, Ben, now
what are you trying to see? It has a story,
It has complications. Somebody had to figure out certain moves. Okay.

(16:42):
Why was her body brought back to her house to
get it away from the spot where she'd been shot
far away? Because if we find out where she was killed,
we know killed her. All right, Then you get to work, Ben,
I will after lunch. I never knew you to stop
for lunch when you were a hut on the case.
It's a very special lunch. An old college friend of

(17:03):
mines in town has a summer house of state. Hey,
I'll come. You never got rid. Now he may be rich,
but he's a great guy. You know him well what
I know him?

Speaker 7 (17:11):
Well?

Speaker 2 (17:11):
You know of him? His congressman Bill Anderson, who's probably
going to be the next governor of the state. All right,
and now we have that laid out for you. Bill
Anderson and Benny Kravick, two boys who, through an accident
of fate, became friends and through another accident, will become adversaries.

(17:35):
Perhaps unconscious adversaries would be more accurate. Well, you make
sure you stay conscious, because I shall return in just
a few moments. With Act two, she was a party girl.

(18:02):
And since a term like that can be defined in
many ways, you can define it to suit yourself. She
really didn't do anything spectacular when she was alive, but
now that she's dead, she could just about set the
world on fire for so many people.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
Oh, Finn, you haven't changed.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Neither of you. Ceesly, you're still a golden girl. The
golden girl that was my private nickname for you. And
all the time I thought you were my best friend.
Now it can be told I was madly in love
with says some were you.

Speaker 8 (18:39):
I was madly in love with both of you, and
I decided I'd marry the one who asked me first.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
You know, I can't believe that the three of us
are sitting here just the way it used to be
so many years ago. Bill, Bill, I read this stuff
that Ben rodin. I think it is sensational. Is he
talking about Billy your master's thesis on crime? Then who
in his right mind be interested? Ben? I invited you
here on business.

Speaker 8 (19:03):
If your men folk are going to talk business, then,
now that you know the way, don't be a stranger, Donnie.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
I don't forget the concert tonight, of course not. And
give the old man a kiss before you go, and
I'll hold me for a while.

Speaker 5 (19:17):
See you soon, I hope.

Speaker 13 (19:18):
Ben.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Now, what is this about business in my master's thesis? Ben?
I want you to join me, join it. Billy has
got to be the logical candidate for governor.

Speaker 14 (19:32):
Benny.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Now he's the fresh new dynamic face the people demand,
and I want you to do a position paper on crime.
For me, it's one of the biggest issues you want
me to you really have something to say. You don't
yell bash their skulls in. On the other hand, you
don't insist they're all poor, misunderstood victims of society. Well,
I'm flatters. Join me take us abbatic o from the department.

(19:57):
I'm tempted, but I just started a k Well, couldn't
someone else take it over? I wouldn't feel right?

Speaker 15 (20:04):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
May be wrong, but I have an idea that unless
I pushed this case, it might get sleft over.

Speaker 14 (20:10):
Mm.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
That tells us something about the police department, doesn't it?

Speaker 7 (20:13):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yes, tells us we're undermanned, overworked, undertrained, and things that
really matter so much clamors for attention. So many things
keep happening. Oh what kind of case has it been?
A girl was found murdered last night? Oh, just a girl.
Her name was Suki Prentice. Yes, I believe I heard
it on the news this morning. Wasn't she killed by

(20:34):
a hoolum in front of her house? No, she was
not killed in front of her house. She wasn't she
could have been. She was shot at eight pm. At
that exact time, another car was parked in space. Oh,
how how do you know this?

Speaker 16 (20:47):
Ben?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
The cop and the beat had ticketed another car for
being parked there illegally. But then then it's only one murder.
And what Billy is asking you to do is to
work on the big picture. I understand this girl's entitled justice, sure,
but is it more important to work on this one
single solitary situation or to devote yourself to the entire system.

(21:11):
The system is only as important as any individual believes,
offering you an opportunity to make an impact. This girl
needs me, and I'm the only friend she has in
the world. What are you talking about? Did you know her?

Speaker 17 (21:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
But she's dead and she has become a problem. Everybody
wants to be rid of her. She really wasn't very important. Actually,
if you want to eliminate euphemisms, she was a prostitute.
Why should she use up the money and manpower of
the police force, especially since we have very little real
chance of cracking the case. Anyway, I think you've just

(21:46):
stated the reason for dropping the case and coming to
work with us.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
Ben.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
If we refuse to give this girl justice. Because it
is awkward or difficult or more convenient to work on
other things than there is no justice. Somebody has to
be on her side, and I really need you. You
want to be a part of it, Billy. Just let
me wind up this case. I want us to be
in touch or sure, we still want to be able
to pick your brains, Ben, how about lunch on Friday? Yeah? Yeah,

(22:12):
if I'm not held up? What it was good meeting
at Jim? I see a Billy. I think I can
find my way out. Jim. Hold it? What are we
going to do?

Speaker 7 (22:24):
Jim?

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Just don't worry, Billy. We're taking care of it.

Speaker 7 (22:28):
Jim.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
I've got a conscience and you've got to learn to
live with it. I don't think I can live with this.
There's the welfare of the whole state.

Speaker 7 (22:38):
Billy.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
You're the best qualified man. Now, are you gonna throw
it away for some dumb little hooker? Don't say that.
Come on, we've worked too long and too hard. You
are a sensitive guy, and maybe maybe you need these
moments to search your soul. But snap out of it.
Let's move onward and upward. What do you mean you

(23:03):
don't have the copy of the summons. The officer turned
it in yesterday morning and he told me, so it
has to be there seven pm nineteenth in front of
a note parking sign of three thirty four West Palmer.
That ticket has to be there. Well, let me know
if it turns up. Hey been, what did you got? Summons?

(23:27):
Patrola Molon made out for that car? There was park
Resuki predice should have been. It's gone, it's disappeared. It
may have been misfiled. Oh, it doesn't exist. I've been
on the clerk's back for the last three hours. He's
gone through every piece of paper in the well. Don't
let it bother you. It has to bother me, Captain.
It's part of the case. Yeah, but it's not your

(23:48):
case anymore. Who do you talk about? You're offered since when?
Since the Chief inspector said so this morning? Why I
was going over man.

Speaker 7 (23:59):
Part with him.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
You know, we have got to be more productive now.
Chargeant Kravit on this party girl thing. He says, No,
Ben's too much detective for that. You were signed him
to the Morrison murder. I think's am month old. Besides,
it's Maxwell's case, as I know. But Maxell, let's go
to the hospital for surgery next week. Something's wrong. Well,

(24:21):
first the parking summons it's gone. Who says it's gone?
The traffic clerk never saw it. Maybe it never exists.
Malone says he wrote the ticket. Maybe he feels he
had to say it. Are you accusing Malone of Well
he's and old timers come up to retirement. Look, I
know Malone, I like him a sort of I that

(24:43):
night he made you shortened the beat. It was hot,
he was tired, and then when he found out about
the murder, he tried to cover himself, you know, made
up a story about another park car. I don't believe
it could have happened. Why am I being taken off?
Do you want to tell the chief inspectator how to
run his division? Let me have a couple of more days.

(25:04):
Then what has got you blue to this thing? She
was young, good looking, and expensive. The guy she was
with must.

Speaker 6 (25:10):
Have killed her.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Where's your event? Because only rich guys, rich and important
guys could afford him all theory, and it could be
the guy is rich and important enough to apply heat.
Are you saying the heat got to Inspector Dennison to
take you off? It could have been a coincidence, and
that traffic ticket could have been lost by accident, or
maybe it was never written in the first place. I
got another lead I want to follow up. Let's just

(25:34):
see if I run into coincidences there too. How are
things coming on the murder case, Ben, I may have
a break. She must have been out with some man
that night and he killed her. Is that the latest
police theory on the case. It's all I have to
go on so far. Well, what's your lead? Huh? I

(25:57):
didn't think you'd be interested in the grubby details or
something toward your little murder. Anyhow, I decided to work
on this position paper for you.

Speaker 15 (26:03):
What night?

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Oh Ben? That is great?

Speaker 18 (26:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (26:07):
What what is this? Uh?

Speaker 2 (26:08):
This lead that you have?

Speaker 7 (26:09):
Ben?

Speaker 2 (26:10):
I'm fascinated. A well, an informer of mine, or to
give him his proper name, a stool pigeon is going
to meet me at about four o'clock, at which time
he should be able to tell me who arrange shall
we say LEAs arms for Suki branis? I see that way,
I'll know who Suki was with on the night she died.
Now about society's attitudes towards criminals, Look, this is between

(26:33):
you two egg kads. I have practical matters to arrange for.
It's a good seeing you again, Benny. Charge him now always,
I tell you boy, Yeah, police police, I see Polise.

(26:54):
What's your name, Chocho? What can I do for you? Jojo?
I'm looking for big Margie she ha'd he? Where would
I find her?

Speaker 12 (27:03):
How would I know?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Where did you last see her?

Speaker 4 (27:05):
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Do you remember a girl named Suki? Pretis?

Speaker 19 (27:09):
Never heard of her?

Speaker 2 (27:10):
She's never been to this apartment, No son, never you
know it? Being an accessory to a murder can buy?

Speaker 20 (27:15):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yes, sir, so let us make a fresh new beginning, Jojo,
you knew Suki? Yeah, she'd come around. I mean Maggie
would book jobs for her. And the night she died,
did Margie arrange that one? Well, you'd have to ask Margie.
Where's Margie? Well, Jojo, you tell me or you'll talk

(27:37):
down to the headquarters. What is it now, five o'clock? Well,
I mean maybe about half past one. The bell rings,
A couple of guys come in, very well dressed guys,
and I figure there were a couple.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Of John's, you see what I mean?

Speaker 2 (27:50):
And I don't pay them no attention. So, so I'm
watching the ball game on TV and they're talking to
Margie and I hear her say all that money, and
then she comes up to see me. She says, I'm
going away for a while. Here's a couple of bills
to keep you out of trouble. And she tosses me
five hundred box and then she packs, I mean, she

(28:10):
loads up them suitcases like she's really moving on, and
off they go.

Speaker 16 (28:15):
Did you just go where?

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Sure? I says, where you go in? And she says
if I told you.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yet know something?

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Therese meant? Did she seem to go with them willingly? Oh?

Speaker 14 (28:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (28:25):
There was laughing everything. And when did she say she
was coming back? Hummm, you want to know something. I
don't think she's ever coming back. I said, all I
needed was one more coincidence, captain, and I got it.
I got a line to somebody who knows where Suki

(28:45):
frent Is went that night, and that somebody disappears three
hours before I get there. Oh it doesn't have to
mean anything. This big Margie. She was bought off. There's
heat there, There is real heat. Look, man, you got
to take over Maxwell right away now. I told the
inspector I give you a few more days listening, Brewers,
I'm staying on the case. Man, you can't disobey your

(29:06):
direct order from upstairs happen. Here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna liak it to the press. What are you saying?
Why is the department soft pedaling the sulki preus killing
man who's turning on the heat. You can't prove it.

Speaker 19 (29:17):
I don't have to.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
I'll just let the press run with him. You won't
do yourself any good. Look, if I were out to
do myself that kind of good, I wouldn't be a cop. Okay,
take another day or two. I'll hold the wolves off somehow.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
Man.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
I've turned some of your material over to my speech writers.
They say it is sensation. Glad I can help out, Billy.
You deserve recognition, recognition, So it paralyzes so many good people.
You become part of an establishment. Well I've got to run.
They stick around. We'll have a few laughs like old times.
Not the same guide of that, sure, sure, yeah, we ha.

(30:00):
How about Cecily? Ah, that's all over. We just maintained
the appearance. What you and Cecily? Oh No, I can't
believe it. I don't want to believe it, Ben, eternal
romantic you and I in Cecily. You know we are
not to college sophomores any longer. Oh no, I guess not.

(30:26):
I'll see you. What's your hurry? I worked to do
on that Sulki Predus killing. I thought you said you
were taking off that he Wait a minute, you can
help me, Billy, help you? Yeah, maybe you can lead
me straight to the killer. And he could do it

(30:53):
too well, not to the killer exactly, because we know
it wasn't the murder, but certainly to the heart of
the problem. Obviously, Billy Anderson is going to be kept
in suspense, and hopefully you will be two until I
return in just a few moments with Act three. What

(31:24):
is the basic difference between a lie and the truth? Well,
there must be many, but a significant one would appear
to be that a truth can stand firmly on its own.
A lie needs constant support and nourishment. You can tell
the truth and let it go at that, but a

(31:44):
lie will continue to make demands of you for as
long as both.

Speaker 7 (31:49):
Of you live.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Ben, how could I possibly help you with this murder case?
I should have thought of you at the very beginning.
Of course, Billy, you've always been interested in guns, haven't
you sure? Now think this girl, Sookie Prentice, she was
killed by an unusual caliber bullet. She was, Yeah, a
twenty nine caliber, twenty nine. I told you it was unusual. Now,
who would make a twenty nine caliber handgun? Who have

(32:12):
you ever heard of one? I'm not sure it's not
your ordinary weapon? Would you say so? Yes? I would
say so, Billy. I hope I'm not imposing no, no,
go ahead if I can help in any way. Now
here's what I know so far. I know that I've
got a high price party girl. She must have been
killed by the guy that she was with an unusual
caliber gun, probably a custom made weapon. Expensive. But so

(32:36):
what her guy is rich? You seem to see it
so clearly. He has to be very rich, very well placed.
I told you about all the heat I'm getting. Ah,
I don't want to bother you or bore you with more. No, no, no, no,
no no, I'm I'm fascinated. How do you plan to
move ahead?

Speaker 7 (32:51):
Now?

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Well, I've got a request out for information who makes
a twenty nine caliber? And when I get the answer,
I may be able to trace the gun that's pretty smart.
It's just routine police work. Well, Billy, I see if
you're sure you can't stay around, then I can't get
over it, can't get over what. I can't get over
you and Cicily because it's just one of those things

(33:16):
I can't be. I'm sure that the new one. We're happy, Ben,
we found a way of life that suits us. Yeah.
Could you finish the paper for me this week? Jesus?
Is this the detective's room?

Speaker 21 (33:37):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Or map if my name's main wearing, write that film
full of record.

Speaker 22 (33:42):
M A I N W A R I n G.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Now I'm here about that, Robert. Oh, well, you want
to see a man from the larceny squad? One of
them should be in So now I'm sick of being
cost around from one office to another. You a detective, Yes,
but I'm not the one you want. Not don't hand
me the old This ain't my table. Routine place was
robbed the other night. The cup on the beat comes in,
takes out his pad, writes something down. I don't know what,

(34:06):
and that's the last I hear. Now what happens now
the larcenary squad? I handle it. Come back after lunch.
I can be put out of business. The law says,
I have to keep a record of every gun I sell.
What am I blowing off steam at you for? Just
steer me tout the right place? Wait a second, do
you sell guns? Tell me about it? But what do
I want to waste my time with you for? You

(34:27):
just said you're not the right detective. But maybe I
can't help you. That's crazy. I got the most exclusive
gun shop in the country. I sell mostly to connoisseurs, collectors,
who else can afford me. Here, I go ahead, okay.
The other night my place gets broken into it. All
the guy does is bust over my safe where all

(34:48):
I got is maybe a couple of hundred dollars and
my record book. And that's all he takes. That's all
all around him is maybe a half a million dollars
worth of handguns. I mean I got merchandized there, Lugers, Dumont, Ferranz,
none of be a commercial jomper. Every weapon is custom made,

(35:08):
and all this is untouched. All he takes is the
couple of dollars and my record book. The book. The
law says I have to keep on who buys what?
Why would anyone want to steal that for it beats me.
You know what I got in that shomp? I got
the most expensive revolver ever made, the twenty nine caliber.

(35:30):
I'm on the Vizier What Caliber. I'm the only shop
in the United States where you can buy them what caliber.
Twenty nine is a collector's You have a record of
the people who bought it. That's what I'm trying to
tell you. The record is gone, and that's why I
can be in a jam. Thank you. Don't sell us
that you're gone every day. I don't sell one every year.
Can you remember any of the people who bought them?

(35:52):
I must have sold three all told a guy named
Humboldt who died some years ago, a guy named Witherspoon.
His yacht sunk in the middle of the ocean with
all hands, so I guess the gun went with him.

Speaker 23 (36:07):
And the third to a dame.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
What dame? Yeah, a dame I remember her. She came in.
She said she wanted to buy her husband a birthday gift.
He was a gun collector, and so watch can you
give the man who's got everything? And I said, a
twenty nine caliber armand de Visier and she said, wrap
it up, do you do you record her name A

(36:31):
good looking dame, youngish, and she had a kind of
everyday name Smith, Brown, Jones, Thompson, know not Thompson. The
last close it ended in a sun Wilson Watson, No,
go higher up in the off of the Johnson. No,
but it's Scandinavy Awson, Benson, Anderson, Anderson. You know I'm

(36:58):
gonna have to put together my whole like that play detectively.
Are you okay? Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm just fine.

Speaker 8 (37:15):
May I come in, Cecily, of course, hope Billy's tied
up with Jim Muratti or somebody.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
I wanted to see you me, Cecily about you and Billy.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
Huh, you didn't know. I guess you didn't know till
just now. You're the great.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Detective too, cesc I wanna ask you something.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
I don't know the answer.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
That's a simple question.

Speaker 5 (37:35):
No it isn't. I don't know what happened to us.

Speaker 8 (37:39):
Maybe Billy became too famous too quickly. Maybe he's not
the same Billy. Maybe I'm not the same, Cecily.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Did you ever buy Billy a gun for his birthday?

Speaker 5 (37:50):
Did I ever buy Billy a gun for his birthday?
Why do you?

Speaker 2 (37:52):
I did you?

Speaker 24 (37:55):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Do you know why?

Speaker 8 (37:58):
I thought it would save the marriage? Imagine a revolver,
an instrument of death to keep a marriage alive. You see,
I wanted to prove to Billy that the things that
interested him were also of interest to me. I read
up on guns so we could discuss them intelligently.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Would you remember what kind of gun your body? Would?

Speaker 8 (38:21):
I remember it was a custom made twenty nine caliber
armand de Visier.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Finally, wow, what's the matter? You mustn't say another word?
Let me tell you why. Don't listen to him. You'll
both have to listen to me, because you'll both have
a decision to make. A girl named Sulki Pretis was
murdered some days ago.

Speaker 5 (38:43):
Oh, I think I read something about it looked.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Like a robbery. Now I want to work on it,
and I was stymied at every step. Evidence disappeared, witnesses vanished.
But why it was as if someone very rich, very powerful,
with connections everywhere, with applying heat against me. I was

(39:06):
even taken off the case, although that could have been
a coincidence.

Speaker 5 (39:11):
But what does all this have to do with Billy
and me?

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Billy killed her? What you see. I had discussed the
case with Billy, and every time I mentioned the lead,
that lead disappeared.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
Then are you sure you're all right?

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Don't look at me at Billy. Ask Billy here if
he's all right.

Speaker 8 (39:37):
I I don't understand. You have accused Billy of murder.
Where is your evidence, your proof?

Speaker 2 (39:43):
I don't have any.

Speaker 8 (39:44):
Then this is monstrous. You, my dear friend, the oldest
friend we have. If it's what politics can do?

Speaker 5 (39:54):
Have you been bought off?

Speaker 2 (39:55):
As of this moment nothing exists to tie Billy anyway?
How long can it last?

Speaker 25 (40:02):
So far?

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Billy, you bribe somebody to try? Really?

Speaker 5 (40:05):
Are you just going to stand there?

Speaker 2 (40:07):
And they paid off Big Margie. But it got a
little more serious with main wearing not called a.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
Burglar, mainwaring, that's what I bought.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
You'll have to tell her to deny that. Cecily, are
you willing to purjure yourself for Billy?

Speaker 5 (40:23):
What does that gun I bought have to do it?

Speaker 2 (40:25):
The gun that killed Suki Prentis?

Speaker 5 (40:28):
I don't believe.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Why don't we find out? Have the gun examined at
the police ballistic lab or did you get rid of
the gun by this time? Billy ask him, Cicely the
beautiful twenty nine caliber l Mond de Vitier. Ask him
if he still has it. What are you going to
tell her? Billy? It's been lost stolen? There's no proof

(40:55):
I ever had such a gun. That really isn't the
answer you wanted to here.

Speaker 14 (41:00):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Cesely? You didn't ever buy me such a gun? Did you, Seseley?
Did you? Sesey? No? I could expect you to do
nothing less. Cesely, you love him, but she's the least
of your problems. Billy, you bribe somebody a traffic he's

(41:23):
a rotten apple in the barrel. How do you know
he won't start becoming more curious? He doesn't know anything.
How about Big Margie? She knows everything? Why should she
stay bought? You lay golden eggs? What she knows is
worth millions? Or how do you know she won't get
loaded one night and shoot her mouth off? Billy, Billy,
don't lose your cool. There is no evidence. Now the

(41:46):
party's complete. Here's good, true and faithful Jim. You can't
prove a word of this, and now on, Jim will
take care of everything. Your hands will never be dirty, Billy,
Jim is already gone from bribery to burglary. He can
also range from murder, and it's all being done for you.
Did King Henry the Second kill Beckett? No? He only said,

(42:09):
who will rid me of this meddlesome priest? All of
you have enough? Jim's and already and listen, Billy, Billy,
I tell you you are in the clear. Man, believe me.
What do you want me to believe? I didn't kill it.
It's alive. It's the truth. She killed herself.

Speaker 6 (42:29):
She was.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
She was feeling kind of down, you know. And when
you realize what you are saying, Billy, yes, yes, Jim,
I'm sorry. Now maybe your life was getting a little
too much for her. But somehow I left the live
round in the chamber and and and she pulled the trigger.
That's the way it happened. Yeah, man, then what good

(42:56):
will it do to expose this? Don't you understand? And
the state needs him. He is the best man, he
was a week ago, but he's losing ground every day.
Whyn't you?

Speaker 7 (43:11):
Bully?

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Yes? Do you want to get out now? Bully? Before
you have to get in deeper?

Speaker 14 (43:18):
Will you?

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Will you come with me? Cicely? Yes? Why don't the
three of us go downtown. You're crazy, That's right, Jim,
he is. But you have to be crazy. How else
can you hope to save your soul? Well, as you

(43:42):
might imagine, Bill Anderson retired from public life. There were
people who admired him for coming forward. There were people
who thought he was stupid for sticking his neck out
when he could have gotten away with it. There were
those who condemned him for being an an adulterer, and
those who praised him for not being a hypocrite. What

(44:06):
does it prove? You can't please everybody, But I'll be
back with some news that should please almost everybody in
just a few moments.

Speaker 26 (44:20):
There are those who say history is shaped by inexorable
forces that grind their relentless way despite our best efforts
to shape them.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
There are those who say history is made by unpredictable
random accidents. Suki prentis a young lady of the night.
She may have changed history. Nothing changes here though. Seven
times each week we bring the best in mystery, terror, suspense,

(45:04):
and the macabre. Our cast included Mason Adams, Russell Horton, Ivy, Jester,
Earl Hammond and Dan Hockle. The entire production was under
the direction of Hymond Brown and now a preview of
our next tale. The moment the bottle broke, bit hairy

(45:29):
black spider with a red hourglass mark on its belly
burst from the sharded remains of the neck. For a
moment it teetered on its long jointed multiple legs, and
then our second transformation took place, almost as though it
had exploded. The spider blew up into a giant of

(45:52):
a man with a bald head, bristling, dark roof shaping,
and a body covered with tangled black hair, dressed conventionally
enough in blue jeans just like I wear.

Speaker 27 (46:05):
No I am your servant, sir. You kept your part
of the bargain, Now I keep mine.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Radio Mystery Theater was sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division.
This is E. G. Marshall inviting you to return to
our Mystery Theater for another adventure in the macabre. Until
next time. Pleasant Dreams presenting Orson Wells as the Third Man,

(47:37):
The Lives of Harry Lyme the fabulous stories of the
immortal character originally created in the motion picture The.

Speaker 23 (47:43):
Third Man, with zither music by Anton kra.

Speaker 15 (47:56):
At various times in various countries. I've been called many things,
most of which I'd rather not repeat here. But strangely enough,
the one thing I've never been called is the one
thing I am a businessman. Did somebody laugh? I'll give
you a little less than economic. All business pays in
direct proportions, with the amount of risk involved the safest investment,

(48:18):
therefore paying the lowest return. Now, my returns are likely
to be high because I'm willing to take risks outside
the law. That's where high finance starts getting really high, high,
wide and handsome. Following little anecdote illustrates my point. It's
called five thousand pengos and a kiss. What you may

(48:38):
ask is a pengo. It is not a small black
and white bird. A pengo is what they use for
money and Hungary. A kiss is the same thing all
over the world.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
And now fors and wells as Harry Lyme the third
man in five thousand Pengos and a kit.

Speaker 15 (49:23):
In Hungary, Various political events after the war brought about
new and very strict laws concerning getting out of the country,
But people have always wanted to get out of countries.
Even charming countries like Hungary used to be and when
they can, they'll pay well for certain risky arrangements being
made for them. So inevitably I found myself in Budhoest,

(49:44):
where I soon made certain necessary contexts, and then, like
any good businessman, went looking for customers, which, as in
any business, are often found in the nicest places. That's
why one evening, not long ago, I happened to be
at the Exclusive club. Yeah, I want to do the
very lovely place, Gabriel, but not really. It's so lovely

(50:08):
as the young lady I soon notice making a way to.

Speaker 28 (50:10):
My table pard me sir, but are you Harry.

Speaker 15 (50:14):
Lime, I beg your partner. I don't believe we're acquainted.

Speaker 5 (50:17):
No, they're not.

Speaker 28 (50:18):
My name is Helene Banner.

Speaker 15 (50:20):
Of course, stupid of me not to SAME's equally lovely
Helena Banner.

Speaker 6 (50:26):
Thank you for the.

Speaker 28 (50:27):
Compliment, but you have not answered my Christian.

Speaker 29 (50:29):
You are Harry Limes Bana.

Speaker 15 (50:30):
At the risk of being tried, I must remind you
of the road by any other name would smell as sweet.
Won't you sit down?

Speaker 14 (50:36):
All right?

Speaker 22 (50:37):
Thank you, mister Lion.

Speaker 28 (50:39):
I must get out of the country and to understand.

Speaker 15 (50:41):
That you could mind damn is Bona certainly I need
to tell you that you can't believe everything you hear,
and you certainly can't repeat it in public places anyway.

Speaker 30 (50:48):
Oh, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 28 (50:50):
I didn't realize, upset.

Speaker 15 (50:52):
That's my guess. You've been working too hard.

Speaker 6 (50:54):
No, no, Chris doesn't like that.

Speaker 15 (50:56):
To show must go on, never a thought of rest
and relaxation. Eventually, it tells on the nurse.

Speaker 30 (51:02):
No, this is not a matter of work.

Speaker 15 (51:04):
It's in a long time since you've had a single
day away from your work.

Speaker 28 (51:08):
It's a live Please, I have something much more important
to the.

Speaker 15 (51:11):
Scuts, possibly be more important than one. I think you
need nothing so much as a quiet stroll in the park.
That's a visit to the zoological gardens.

Speaker 6 (51:22):
Of the world for you too.

Speaker 15 (51:23):
The fact, I'd be delighted to offer my services as
your escort tomorrow afternoon and show you the monkey house.

Speaker 28 (51:30):
Mister, I'm really I'm not on the move to look at.

Speaker 15 (51:33):
Any and Miss Banner, that's nothing could be more important
to you right now than a business is a monkey
house tomorrow afternoon?

Speaker 31 (51:40):
About the monkey.

Speaker 15 (51:40):
House, Miss Banner. At one o'clock tomorrow Right the following afternoon,
I arrived at the monkey House adequately arms to the
bag of peanuts. I have been informed by experts with
monkeys as a fund of peanuts.

Speaker 31 (51:59):
Looking for some Oh there you are.

Speaker 28 (52:02):
I hope I'm not later.

Speaker 15 (52:03):
That's all I destroyed myself.

Speaker 28 (52:06):
No, thank you. I don't like them. Couldn't we talked
on place?

Speaker 15 (52:09):
Que I guess miss Banner has a conversation such as
ours that are held with noise.

Speaker 28 (52:14):
Oh yes, I suppose you're right.

Speaker 6 (52:16):
Now.

Speaker 15 (52:17):
That's pretty tricky, isn't it.

Speaker 14 (52:18):
What is it?

Speaker 7 (52:19):
Why that monkey caught the can?

Speaker 28 (52:21):
I have your attention.

Speaker 15 (52:22):
I won't take long attention.

Speaker 28 (52:26):
I must leave the country as soon as possible. And
I was told you could arrange it for me, fatten me.
I've tried to get the pass but many times, but
they've always refused on no ground. My applications simply go.

Speaker 31 (52:38):
On answered for that reason, I don't know. They simply
ignore my requests no reason.

Speaker 28 (52:45):
Very well, I tell you the story. I've been married
for a number of years. My husband is an oyster.
He's been there ever since the end of the war.

Speaker 15 (52:52):
Lonesome. No that little monkey all along in that cage
over there.

Speaker 28 (52:57):
My husband, he's the reason for my being refused to
pass you see, he's well an enemy of the current
regime that would like nothing better than to get him
back here. And I'm being held as a law. We've
been apart for a long time now, and the last
word I received from my husband to think he's planning
to tempt a visit. But if you should even try
to enter this country, I hate to think of the

(53:18):
fate that awaits him.

Speaker 15 (53:20):
I find I must be under for monkeys.

Speaker 28 (53:23):
You understand, I understand, But now you know my story.
I must get to Austar before my husband does something wesh.
I understand you can make the necessary arrangements for me.
So there are really only two questions I.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Have to ask, Will you do it?

Speaker 32 (53:38):
And how much will it cost?

Speaker 15 (53:41):
You know something? You're very lovely, my dear, Will you
please pay attention? But I am paying attention. My price
to anyone else will be ten thousand gold pango. For
someone as charming as yourself, my price is five thousand tenures.
I'm the kiss five open the gate of one of

(54:03):
these cages. These monkeys, I wonder if they would stop
to quibble about peanuts. My thousand gold pengum is banna
at the shore flops tomorrow midnight, I must be running along.
You'd like to stay away with hear the monkeys you
have these peanuts. Personally, I can't stand monkeys. That's such

(54:24):
greedy little fellows. The following evening, at midnight, as at

(54:46):
the shot clots, it's a bad night. Fine drizzle filled
the air and shone on the cobblestones. I watched the
square from the dark doorway, and just as the clock
had struck twelve, I heard in the distance footsteps. It
was Helen Obayna. I stepped out and said.

Speaker 22 (55:03):
Good evening, Oh you started me.

Speaker 33 (55:07):
I was afraid you wouldn't be here.

Speaker 28 (55:08):
I brought the money here to all in Goldend what
I used.

Speaker 15 (55:14):
To stand around handing over large sums of money. Put
the money in the right hand park to.

Speaker 29 (55:18):
Get coaches start walking with me, I think attracts a
police officer as soon as a couple arguing at this
time of night alonesome street.

Speaker 20 (55:31):
To keep your very well.

Speaker 34 (55:33):
I brought the money.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
What happens now?

Speaker 15 (55:36):
There's no blueprint for these things, and take each step
at it arrived. Tell me, have you ever heard the
little village of my Yallova?

Speaker 14 (55:46):
Yes?

Speaker 30 (55:46):
I have, but I have never been there.

Speaker 15 (55:49):
Time and tell me there's a very fine country club
located nearby.

Speaker 30 (55:52):
I've heard of it.

Speaker 15 (55:52):
Do you think you could arrange an appearance there now? Yes,
But Jahova is a very convenient little village. Any geography,
well show you. It's located quite near the border.

Speaker 14 (56:02):
Oh, I see.

Speaker 28 (56:04):
But I could never go there without a work permit.
You know, I can't leave Budapest without permissions.

Speaker 15 (56:08):
A sense of a thing would to apply for a
work it would never prove less. I suggest to apply
for a work permit to do it all right? Now again,
my apologies, I'm afraid I just leave you.

Speaker 28 (56:21):
But how can I get you?

Speaker 15 (56:23):
I'll get in touch with you.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
Good night.

Speaker 28 (56:26):
But wait, you forgot the money?

Speaker 31 (56:28):
I have it right in.

Speaker 14 (56:30):
That's strange.

Speaker 28 (56:31):
It's gone.

Speaker 33 (56:33):
In this pocket and now it disappears.

Speaker 15 (56:36):
No, my god, not disappeared to just in good hands.

Speaker 14 (56:39):
Now, good night.

Speaker 15 (56:52):
And because a business such as mine can lead one
in strange paths, my path next morning led me to
the Budapest Police Partners, or more specifically, to the office
of a certain police lieutenants who's had a work.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
That is.

Speaker 15 (57:08):
Good morning, lieutenants, life. I know the time I paid
you a visit again, I'd ask you to be brief.

Speaker 25 (57:14):
What brings you?

Speaker 31 (57:14):
You're a simple matter, simple matter.

Speaker 15 (57:16):
I'd like you to arrange a work permit for.

Speaker 35 (57:19):
A lady My coresin for me here, Lime, are you're
going too far asking favors for your girlfriends? As you
well know, I'm not at all satisfied with the way
our arrangement has been working out. But it's six months
now since you delivered anyone consequent to me, and I'm
beginning to wonder about this whole arrangement.

Speaker 15 (57:36):
The lady's name happens to be Helen Barner.

Speaker 20 (57:40):
He Helen bar.

Speaker 6 (57:44):
Helen badness.

Speaker 31 (57:45):
Time to leave the country.

Speaker 15 (57:46):
Yes, I thought i'd put it rather clearly. Lime, Are
you sure about this? I've already been prayed in four wonderful, lie, wonderful,
Just what I need, Inspector. It's been making my life miserable.
This should keep him quiet for a while. In Band,
I heard you'd be pleasing.

Speaker 6 (58:03):
When does she want to cross the border.

Speaker 15 (58:05):
I have made any arrangements. I assumed it was necessary. Yes,
you alwa spared that trouble in these cases, Yes that's true,
but yes.

Speaker 31 (58:13):
This one is different.

Speaker 35 (58:14):
I want telling Band the court in the act of
trying to cross the border.

Speaker 15 (58:17):
An example must be made. You mean you want me
to go through through the last detay. This is no
part of our agreement at all. I don't mind doing
what I must in order to stay in business, but
I don't relish leading a victim to the guilty and
holding her head while a knife fall.

Speaker 36 (58:34):
Oh, come a line, you have been dramatic.

Speaker 15 (58:37):
Arrangement is to continue.

Speaker 35 (58:38):
I must have a major public arrest.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
You have no.

Speaker 15 (58:41):
I don't like it.

Speaker 37 (58:42):
I didn't ask you what you liked.

Speaker 35 (58:44):
I can arrange it so that you will be absolutely safe.
You can leave the girl as a border just to
put my men clothing on that. But that's the way
it must be.

Speaker 15 (58:52):
Okay, okay, you can make your arrest of the border.

Speaker 6 (58:56):
But I knew you'd be reasonable about this.

Speaker 15 (58:59):
Now, when does she want to go? Nothing's that arranged.
I told her to apply for her work perner to
appear the country crabit.

Speaker 6 (59:07):
Bad.

Speaker 15 (59:08):
They will be in Magaraba. Michael Momonaic.

Speaker 36 (59:26):
Orson Wells returns in just a moment, and now.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Orson Wells as the third man continues with five thousand
pengos and the kids.

Speaker 15 (01:00:03):
The next night, I drove to my Galla to see
her in Havana. Maybe it would have been simpler to
have gone by railway, but experience has taught me that
the car in which your case is a valuable So
I arrived at the country club after nine o'clock. Helena
was just finishing a number. But she saw me as
soon as I came into the room.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
And she hurried over to me.

Speaker 28 (01:00:24):
I'm glad you've come. I was afraid it wouldn't be tonight.

Speaker 15 (01:00:26):
If I hadn't come tonight, I wouldn't have come at home.
The arrangements have been made with eive immediately tonight.

Speaker 6 (01:00:32):
Now listen carefully out.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
Of my car. Outside.

Speaker 15 (01:00:34):
We drive to the first barrier near the border, the
bob wire.

Speaker 30 (01:00:37):
How would we get through?

Speaker 14 (01:00:38):
The arrangements have been made at.

Speaker 15 (01:00:39):
A certain place. The wire has been cart come take
you through. The border lies a short distance beyond, at
the beginning of the forest.

Speaker 22 (01:00:45):
I see that it was I get my colt and
we can go on slowly?

Speaker 6 (01:00:48):
Was news I had.

Speaker 28 (01:00:50):
I'm quite calm, calm enough.

Speaker 15 (01:00:53):
If we walked out that door of the club management,
we have the entire police department down on us before
we got one hundred feet.

Speaker 28 (01:00:58):
Oh, that's right, But can I leave you?

Speaker 15 (01:01:00):
Leave me now directly with the ladies when you're alone
in there, time out through the back window. Yes, I
hate to sound another dramatical. Girl's the only way now.
The time you do that, I'll be waiting behind the door.
And I wanted to go. She was obviously afraid, but

(01:01:21):
still I had courage. I wait until she crossed the
room and gone up the corner of a bit of
the lady's room. Then I turned and started to the
front door. But I hadn't gone very far.

Speaker 22 (01:01:30):
But nine nine.

Speaker 38 (01:01:34):
Line, I must see you, to hear you fool outside?

Speaker 39 (01:01:36):
Well, I can't see us quick.

Speaker 15 (01:01:47):
Yes, we can talk here.

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
Now. What's happened?

Speaker 31 (01:01:49):
Did you bother to get her stoughty before you went in?

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Of course?

Speaker 22 (01:01:52):
Yes, that had a few little nightters you.

Speaker 38 (01:01:53):
Missed, my course, like the fact that before she approached you.

Speaker 31 (01:01:55):
She'd been decaying for some time, as he not.

Speaker 6 (01:01:58):
Yes, she came to you only when he's priced.

Speaker 15 (01:02:00):
God, do you know the lunch had made a deal
with you.

Speaker 40 (01:02:03):
He wanted to be revenge directed the inspector and told
him everything.

Speaker 15 (01:02:06):
Why did you hear this from the inspector?

Speaker 41 (01:02:08):
Else he's in town and he wants them arrest me
for Saturn.

Speaker 15 (01:02:11):
No problem you were planning and arrest anyone. A problem
for me, but then maybe for you. Inspector wants a
double arrest.

Speaker 14 (01:02:17):
He will settle for nothing less than the girl.

Speaker 15 (01:02:19):
And you see that does complicate as well. Well, well,
I must go back to Budapest. The term will not
be made. Don't don't leave me in this fix.

Speaker 31 (01:02:28):
No attemptive made tonight the inspector. We'll know just where
the weak link is.

Speaker 15 (01:02:32):
And then we're both in the soup, and there's only
one thing we can do. The girl turmps across the border.
I'll think it's through the barbee I no further, I'll
turn that actually, go on along. It's up to you
to see that the rest is made in the forest.
See if it has the border itself.

Speaker 42 (01:02:43):
The Inspector knows your in them.

Speaker 15 (01:02:45):
He wants you even more than the death. He may
want me, but he's going to have to do without me.
You'll have to settle to the girl, no care what
he knows. This is the only way for all I
learned the barn and still a big catch for an
ambitious man. If I have to escape in the darkness,
who's to blame you neck is safe. Expect that this
little triumph and I, well, somebody once said who runs away?

(01:03:05):
Litified another day.

Speaker 14 (01:03:06):
I don't like it.

Speaker 15 (01:03:08):
I didn't say you would like it, but you have
to accept it. And now, lieutenant, if you excuse me
to go to the lady's room. It is the unforeseen
contingency that are the most tricky. I could have known

(01:03:30):
that the distraught young lady, anxious to leave the country,
at first approached my rivals, but in revenge the would
have gone to our mutual animated police. However, hesitation in
my line of working with fatal, I proceeded as if
nothing had happened and met the girl career of the
country club. We were soon in my car, driving down
a back road until we came to the barber while
the last barria before the border.

Speaker 38 (01:03:57):
Yes, follow me, be careful, all right, I keep.

Speaker 15 (01:04:09):
Going almost They're just a few feet more.

Speaker 6 (01:04:12):
Help me.

Speaker 14 (01:04:12):
I can't.

Speaker 22 (01:04:15):
That's it.

Speaker 15 (01:04:16):
Look after this, that's row.

Speaker 6 (01:04:19):
There.

Speaker 14 (01:04:20):
That's true.

Speaker 15 (01:04:22):
God west is over the border line, one hundred meters
across that field is inside that forest. Perhaps some day
we'll meet again, but now I'll say goodbye.

Speaker 28 (01:04:30):
Goodbye the border again.

Speaker 15 (01:04:32):
You have no problem and no further UPSTA goes ahead, but.

Speaker 22 (01:04:34):
You can't go now.

Speaker 28 (01:04:36):
Are you agreed to take me across the border.

Speaker 15 (01:04:37):
There's no time for technical they honey, you are substantially
at the border and I must turn back. It will
take me some time to get through the wire again,
the border patrol. I am out on the very best
of terms.

Speaker 28 (01:04:47):
You're agreed to take me to the border.

Speaker 15 (01:04:48):
I'm not going to.

Speaker 6 (01:04:49):
I'm afraid. I must be firm.

Speaker 28 (01:04:51):
I'm afraid you will be a farmer myself and the gun.
I mean business.

Speaker 15 (01:04:57):
That's something I forgot to tell you. The patrol.

Speaker 6 (01:05:01):
I spoke.

Speaker 15 (01:05:01):
I was waiting for you directly ahead. What you approached? Damn?
Now before you came to me, didn't you is a
very greedy man. He's very reluctant to lose your account
to me. Went directly to the inspector of police.

Speaker 43 (01:05:13):
I don't believe it.

Speaker 15 (01:05:14):
How else would I know what you tell me? I
could kill you, Cord, But a gun shouted, bring the
patrol out of them.

Speaker 19 (01:05:21):
Look here now, no place.

Speaker 15 (01:05:26):
Give me that gunn't let's.

Speaker 6 (01:05:30):
Go get up?

Speaker 15 (01:05:36):
I said, get up? What happens?

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
This was not a trick?

Speaker 15 (01:05:43):
I told you the truth because I had to. I'm
turning back decided, and so rough something else me to do.
Let's get the boilers that you can directly head of
the west. Check the Vakia is in that direction, nor
you're your choice. Get the patrol to be in that
crumb of tree somewhere over there. Now, Miss Bana, my
regrets that our association ends on such an unpleasant note.

Speaker 6 (01:06:06):
Wait, come to thing.

Speaker 15 (01:06:07):
Needn't that on such an present?

Speaker 21 (01:06:08):
Not at all?

Speaker 15 (01:06:09):
I just remembered I haven't been paid in for what
my price for this service was five thousand gold pego
and the kiss tengo you're trying to have to give
me I have yet to receive the rest of it. Kiss,
the bargain, a bargains.

Speaker 39 (01:06:30):
The patrol, the patrol. No, no, no, no, no, to
wait for that double what we understand perfectly. Still, I
have your gun. Now hide behind that bolder. You cry
out for me to attract the attention. When their attention
is on you, I'll.

Speaker 22 (01:06:50):
Come out and cover them. And I have no time
for lies.

Speaker 15 (01:06:53):
Now they want me even what they do.

Speaker 39 (01:06:55):
You do as I say now, our lives depend on it.

Speaker 28 (01:06:59):
But if this is another drink hard line, so help me.

Speaker 19 (01:07:04):
Drink.

Speaker 39 (01:07:06):
I'm the same team I would like it or not,
so as I get behind that boulder.

Speaker 42 (01:07:10):
Cry out for me.

Speaker 12 (01:07:13):
All right, all right, Harry Lime, Herry, come back.

Speaker 37 (01:07:23):
Come back, put your hands in there. It's all right,
all right, well, well, well, the famous and lovely man
that I expect to meet you in the circumstances.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
Line.

Speaker 43 (01:07:42):
I don't know, I don't know, must know.

Speaker 37 (01:07:44):
I heard you call him.

Speaker 17 (01:07:45):
I can't you, I don't know.

Speaker 15 (01:07:47):
You man, quickly in that direction, follow the wire in
the other direction he found of patman.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Where is it?

Speaker 44 (01:07:53):
I don't know?

Speaker 31 (01:07:54):
You must know, and if you know what's good for
you're telling me where Harry Lime is?

Speaker 15 (01:07:57):
Did you call me, inspector? Turn around, inspector, Yes, this
is a gun you feel in your back? Nine one more, lieutenant,
and you have a dead inspector on your hands and
your man to throw their guns on the ground. I
worry about my neck, you worry about yours. I want
those guns on the ground quick a desperate man, Inspector. Yes, God,

(01:08:20):
you head to the Austrian border quickly for the other
man return.

Speaker 28 (01:08:24):
Didn't you better come before?

Speaker 6 (01:08:25):
You're afraid?

Speaker 15 (01:08:25):
Now that the Austrian police think no more highly of
me these days, and as the inspector right now.

Speaker 28 (01:08:30):
But I hate to leave you life this.

Speaker 15 (01:08:31):
I appreciate your consideration and loyalty, but there's no time
for etiquette.

Speaker 6 (01:08:34):
Every moment counts.

Speaker 15 (01:08:35):
Goodbye, good luck.

Speaker 28 (01:08:37):
All right, I'll go, but here's the rest of my
bark and the kids are promised. Thank you and goodbye.

Speaker 6 (01:08:47):
You're welcome line.

Speaker 15 (01:08:49):
You regret this, Inspector, I will regret it in Czechoslovakia.
In the meantime, I have an attractive business deal for
you on the other side of your barbed wire. I,
unfortunately will leave an expensive automobile which I'm quite fund
Would you be interested in buying it? Not at all.
I'll take whatever you want to have if on you,
and returns the car for the last time in factor

(01:09:09):
I said, I'll take whatever cash you have on you.
My liquid assets are all in Budapest. I'll need whatever
money I can obtain gives me. Please, Perhaps we best
do as he says, all life here, you are not
very much. I don't perhaps shoot care to contribute to
the inspectors purchase. Any contribution will be greatfully received quickly.

(01:09:32):
Still not very much, but then exactly a seller's market,
is it? The cars, you'rs inspector, and now will both
of you please do me the favor of giving me
your trouser belt. What you hurt me correctly, your trouser belts,
take them off.

Speaker 7 (01:09:44):
Please.

Speaker 15 (01:09:45):
When you return to Budapest and ransack my quarters, you will,
I'm sorry to say, find enough money of mine to
buy yourself in the entire police force new belts and
suspenders for the rest of your lives. Now, I'm afraid
I must remind you that I'm holding a gun. Trousers out, gentlemen,
and make it quick.

Speaker 6 (01:10:03):
Kind of madness.

Speaker 15 (01:10:04):
Really, is it necessary to explain you're a scholar. I've
got to do it well, man. In all the famous
chases in history, no policeman has ever been known to
catch a fugitive and hold up his bands at the
same time. Thanks good bye.

Speaker 36 (01:10:18):
For now, Harry Lyme returns in just the moment. And now,

(01:11:01):
Harry Lyon, I.

Speaker 15 (01:11:08):
Got to Czechoslovakia with nothing worse than a slight attack
of poison ivy, and then a bada made it all
right too. And of course you know that she left
Prague before the Communist took over, and the rest is history.
I don't mean about the communists, I mean Helen. She
made her first big hit in Paris and came London.
I saw her last in the Persian room at the Plaza.

Speaker 7 (01:11:27):
In New York.

Speaker 15 (01:11:27):
She was killing the people. I caught her round when
she came out for a fifth uncle, and thought I
noticed a little flicker of recognition. She told the audience
she'd only sing one more song, but she was dedicating
it to an old friend whom she'd known in dangerous
times on the other side of the Atlantic. I figured
I was the old friend. You can imagine how grateful
I was when Helen broke into the opening strains of

(01:11:49):
I'll be Glad when You're dead, You rascal. You just
prove you can never trust her.

Woman haunted stories of the supernatural. Anna Cropper stars in

(01:12:40):
Walk on the Water by Roseberry Timperley, adapted for radio
by Derek Hoddenhout.

Speaker 46 (01:12:55):
It's finished, Mummy, Mummy, Yes, dear, I said, wish my
sand castle.

Speaker 6 (01:13:01):
Look.

Speaker 46 (01:13:02):
Oh it's lovely, dear, it's the best sand castle on
the beach. Hello, Hello, what do you think of my
sand castle?

Speaker 47 (01:13:16):
I think it's a lovely sand castle.

Speaker 15 (01:13:18):
I made it to myself.

Speaker 47 (01:13:20):
Did you now you're very clever.

Speaker 48 (01:13:24):
Who are you, Rachel, Rachel, dear, Yes, it's time for tea.
Now come along, darling. You'll have to leave your sand
castle until tomorrow.

Speaker 49 (01:13:35):
We will be here.

Speaker 48 (01:13:36):
Tomorrow this sea will have come and taken it away.
Then you'll have to build a new one. Come along now,
dady's waiting.

Speaker 7 (01:13:41):
Did you see the man?

Speaker 50 (01:13:43):
What's that?

Speaker 18 (01:13:43):
Dear?

Speaker 48 (01:13:43):
Now, don't forget your space. The man I was talking
to just now when, just now, before you call me,
I didn't see you speaking to anyone, whoever it was.
I hope you didn't talk to him. You know what
I told you about strangers. I only said hello and
asked who he was.

Speaker 44 (01:14:00):
What did he say?

Speaker 20 (01:14:00):
Nothing? He went away?

Speaker 48 (01:14:02):
I wonder what he was up to.

Speaker 28 (01:14:04):
Nothing, He only said hello.

Speaker 48 (01:14:06):
He said he liked my sand castle.

Speaker 51 (01:14:08):
That's all.

Speaker 48 (01:14:09):
Now, look, Rachel, we can't be watching you all the time.
We let you onto the beach because we trust you
to be sensible. Now, if this man or anyone else
comes near you again when you're alone, you simply come
and tell us at once.

Speaker 52 (01:14:21):
Is that clear?

Speaker 20 (01:14:23):
I liked him.

Speaker 48 (01:14:24):
That has nothing to do with it anyway. You can't
possibly decide you like someone just on one meeting. Now,
come along, we mustn't be late fifteen. Rachel, Yes, mommy,
some cake deer, there's that chocolate one left? You know

(01:14:46):
how you like chocolate cake.

Speaker 26 (01:14:48):
No, thank you?

Speaker 48 (01:14:50):
Is anything the matter?

Speaker 53 (01:14:51):
No, I was just thinking, sorry, oh, dear, that missus Delaney.

Speaker 48 (01:14:57):
I was wondering where you've gone to, Henry. You know
what she's like other than that she's a guest like ourselves.

Speaker 53 (01:15:02):
She likes to pass the time of day, and that
means at least half an hour's got it?

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
You should be firmer, Henry. We've brandently finished, Darty.

Speaker 53 (01:15:09):
I'm sorry, dear, but she told me something rather distressing. Apparently,
a man on the beach this afternoon. She thought he
was simply a game for a swim. He went into
the water.

Speaker 48 (01:15:22):
And you did, Mommy, tell you about the man I
saw on the beach. Daddy, you shouldn't have been listening, Rachel,
Daddy was telling me something private.

Speaker 46 (01:15:32):
Sorry, anyway, I liked him.

Speaker 16 (01:15:42):
He had a kind face.

Speaker 9 (01:15:46):
I think I'll spend the rest of the holiday looking
for him.

Speaker 53 (01:16:17):
Well, Rachel, has he asked you?

Speaker 17 (01:16:20):
What do you mean?

Speaker 28 (01:16:20):
My whole darling?

Speaker 48 (01:16:21):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 54 (01:16:22):
Stop teazing? Are you engaged to Peter. Yes, yes, I
let me see the ring. Oh it's beautiful, darling. Congratulations
I really please?

Speaker 48 (01:16:36):
Oh of course I am. Your father will be too.
You know he likes Peter.

Speaker 51 (01:16:40):
Oh he's been mumbling about as being too young.

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
Oh he doesn't mean it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
All.

Speaker 48 (01:16:44):
Fathers hate losing their daughters. It's a well known fact.
After all, your twenty one officially or on your own.
Oh mother, Oh I do love him, of course you do.
And he's doing so well. He's got excellent prospects.

Speaker 18 (01:16:58):
Oh.

Speaker 48 (01:16:58):
That reminds me. We must have a celebration, an engagement
party the set.

Speaker 51 (01:17:02):

Peter's taking me to see swam Lake at Covent Garden
on Saturday. It's not ours, is it, No, darling, it's

(01:17:47):

minute or two.

Speaker 37 (01:17:53):
How long?

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
Please enjoy it?

Speaker 55 (01:17:56):
What's that, Peter?

Speaker 14 (01:17:57):
I said?

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
Did you enjoy it?

Speaker 18 (01:17:58):
Loved it?

You?

Speaker 13 (01:18:00):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:18:00):
Really?

Speaker 56 (01:18:01):
Don't you believe me that?

Speaker 51 (01:18:02):
I don't think you'd like badly? Not really, it's all right.

Speaker 55 (01:18:04):
I suppose I thought it was beautiful.

Speaker 51 (01:18:07):
Thank you, Peter.

Speaker 16 (01:18:07):
As long as you enjoyed yourself then, so did I.

Speaker 6 (01:18:10):
I love you.

Speaker 52 (01:18:11):
People will hear anyway.

Speaker 48 (01:18:14):
I don't care.

Speaker 16 (01:18:16):
Hello, Hello, What did you say, darling? What I thought

I'm sure nothing's the matter.

Speaker 55 (01:18:37):
Seen someone you know?

Speaker 37 (01:18:39):
Yes, I thought I had.

Speaker 51 (01:18:41):
It must have been mistaken, that's all.

Speaker 59 (01:18:50):
Well, daddy, here I am.

Speaker 30 (01:18:53):
What do you think?

Speaker 7 (01:18:55):
You look beautiful?

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
Really beautiful.

Speaker 3 (01:18:59):
It's time the car here?

Speaker 51 (01:19:01):
Yes, better get going, haven't. We don't want to keep
the bridegroom waiting, wors and nervous.

Speaker 53 (01:19:08):
Not sure you can still pull out if you don't feel.

Speaker 16 (01:19:10):
Right about it.

Speaker 57 (01:19:11):
Oh, daddy, I love you.

Speaker 51 (01:19:13):
I'm okay. Really, it's just stage fright.

Speaker 16 (01:19:16):
That's all stage fright.

Speaker 53 (01:19:18):
I am practically paralyzed with fear and just me getting married.
Want you know what your mother's like? You had have
all the chimings, and you're like me. You don't want
fuss A quiet registry office that would have suited jordanate.

Speaker 57 (01:19:30):

It's like marrying your mother all over again. Careful, Rachel,

(01:19:54):

All these people all right, yes as well?

Speaker 7 (01:20:02):

Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
That's all.

Speaker 16 (01:21:02):
You love me, don't you.

Speaker 51 (01:21:04):
Oh, Peter, it's nothing to do with you.

Speaker 16 (01:21:07):
Are you sure?

Speaker 51 (01:21:07):
Of course I am. It's been the most marvels two
weeks of my whole life.

Speaker 7 (01:21:12):
I'm glad.

Speaker 14 (01:21:14):
It's just.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):

Peter go to sleep, please, Darling. I'm just tired, that's all.
If you're sure, everything's all right, honestly, good night, good night.

(01:21:50):
I've seen him every day since i've been here. Hello,
he says.

Speaker 12 (01:21:58):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
I see.

Speaker 51 (01:22:03):
He has such a kind face. I think he loves me.

Speaker 14 (01:22:10):
And I.

Speaker 57 (01:22:13):
I love him.

Speaker 53 (01:22:34):
Peter, sit down, for God's sake, it'll probably be ours yet.

Speaker 16 (01:22:39):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
I hope that God shall be all.

Speaker 47 (01:22:42):
Right, of course she will.

Speaker 48 (01:22:44):
Now please sit down. She's only having a baby.

Speaker 16 (01:22:50):
Things could go wrong.

Speaker 48 (01:22:51):
It's very rare, but anyway, she's in the best place.

Speaker 53 (01:22:55):
You're not the first man to become my father, Peter,
all right, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
That's better.

Speaker 48 (01:23:03):
Let's hope Rachel's taking it more calmly than you.

Speaker 2 (01:23:11):
That's it, my dear, push again.

Speaker 60 (01:23:16):
Oh my god, good, good, good god.

Speaker 55 (01:23:21):
It's a boy, beautiful boy.

Speaker 35 (01:23:24):
Nurse.

Speaker 61 (01:23:26):
Oh, thank god, thank god.

Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
Is he all right?

Speaker 47 (01:23:32):
He's perfect?

Speaker 7 (01:23:33):
Give us a few minutes and we'll have you ready
to see your husband.

Speaker 55 (01:23:42):
Well, now, how are you feeling, Rachel?

Speaker 14 (01:23:44):
Eh, so nurse has brought.

Speaker 57 (01:23:47):
To you by Oh, thank you.

Speaker 16 (01:23:52):
That's it.

Speaker 55 (01:23:54):
We'll let your husband in now, but only for a
few minutes.

Speaker 14 (01:23:57):
I'll be around to see you later.

Speaker 18 (01:23:58):
Thank you.

Speaker 14 (01:23:59):
Doctor.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
Hello, hello, hello, old girl.

Speaker 14 (01:24:08):
Let me see him. What the baby, darling?

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
We're parents.

Speaker 51 (01:24:31):
Willnsley four double two three one, Rachel, Hello, mother.

Speaker 48 (01:24:35):
I thought you were coming over this evening. We are babysitter,
not a right.

Speaker 55 (01:24:39):
Neither babysitter or husband.

Speaker 6 (01:24:41):
Where is either?

Speaker 30 (01:24:42):
God knows?

Speaker 51 (01:24:43):
He left the office ages ago. How I was about
doing the babysitter to find out what's happened to her?

Speaker 48 (01:24:48):
I get the feeling you're not coming.

Speaker 51 (01:24:50):
You may well be right.

Speaker 11 (01:24:52):
Is anything the matter?

Speaker 51 (01:24:53):
Of course, it's something the matter. I'm angry, I'm gloody, annoyed,
that's what.

Speaker 16 (01:24:58):
Ah.

Speaker 7 (01:24:58):
The children they're fine.

Speaker 59 (01:25:00):
I think you ought to get yourself a tonic.

Speaker 51 (01:25:02):
Thank you, mother, but I don't need your advice.

Speaker 48 (01:25:04):
Look, darling, since you had Melanie, you've not been the same.

Speaker 5 (01:25:07):
Good night mother, please, Rachel.

Speaker 48 (01:25:09):
I'm serious. You said yourself the second birth wasn't as
difficult as the first. You said, in fact that it
was wonderful.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
So it was.

Speaker 48 (01:25:17):
Then why has it changed?

Speaker 51 (01:25:18):
It hasn't changed me.

Speaker 48 (01:25:20):
Don't seem content anymore. I noticed it the first week
you were out of hospital. Host natal depression. That would
wear off, But it doesn't seem to mother.

Speaker 51 (01:25:29):
I shall put the phone down in a moment, won't
you dare now?

Speaker 48 (01:25:32):
I've spoken to your father about it, and he's going
to speak to Peter. It's not that we want to interfere.

Speaker 51 (01:25:40):
Oh my god, what the hell is the matter with me?
The second birth was wonderful.

Speaker 14 (01:25:53):
That's because he was there. He helped me. He took
me in his.

Speaker 51 (01:26:02):
Arms and lifted me up and up.

Speaker 47 (01:26:12):
Missus, banister, Yes, yes, officer.

Speaker 7 (01:26:16):
What is it your husband, Madam?

Speaker 52 (01:26:19):
I'm afraid he's had an accident.

Speaker 16 (01:26:44):
Hello, what.

Speaker 47 (01:26:50):
Rachel?

Speaker 48 (01:26:51):
Did you say something?

Speaker 7 (01:26:53):
Hello?

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
Hello?

Speaker 62 (01:27:28):
Well Rachel, what are you going to do now you're retiring?

Speaker 51 (01:27:32):
Well, mister Frederick, we're alone? Well, John, I don't know.
I expect I shall become one of those lonely old
widows you see trudging the high streets and the rain.

Speaker 3 (01:27:46):
It doesn't have to be like that, you know.

Speaker 16 (01:27:48):
Please.

Speaker 51 (01:27:49):
You promised all those years ago that you never discuss
it again.

Speaker 62 (01:27:54):
But it's different now. You were a young widow then,
with two small children and the war. I made the
mistake of asking you to marry me too soon. But
now your children are grown up. Your son's in Canada,
your daughter never comes to see you.

Speaker 51 (01:28:11):
You're alone, Please, John, you don't need to remind me anyway.

Speaker 55 (01:28:15):
I like being alone.

Speaker 14 (01:28:17):
I've got used to it.

Speaker 51 (01:28:19):
Besides, I've got a comfortable house, a pension. I can
always come and see you, and you can come and
have tea with me as.

Speaker 14 (01:28:26):
Often as you like.

Speaker 51 (01:28:28):
Believe me, my dear, I shall be perfectly all right.

Speaker 16 (01:28:32):
I want you to have this. Oh no, this is
personal from me.

Speaker 3 (01:28:40):
Nothing to do with the firm.

Speaker 62 (01:28:41):
You understand, A present from me to you for being
the best secretary I've ever had.

Speaker 51 (01:28:49):
Flattery will get you everywhere. Mister Frederick's h john open it. Oh,
oh that's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:29:03):
Honestly I could, Yes, you can, I says.

Speaker 51 (01:29:07):
It must have cost you an awful lot of money.

Speaker 62 (01:29:09):
Please wear it always.

Speaker 51 (01:29:12):
It's the most beautiful cameo I've ever seen.

Speaker 62 (01:29:15):
To remember me by, remember me, Rachel.

Speaker 16 (01:29:21):
Please.

Speaker 15 (01:30:03):
Memories.

Speaker 57 (01:30:06):
That's all that's left.

Speaker 51 (01:30:09):
I better make some tea.

Speaker 2 (01:30:10):
I suppose.

Speaker 16 (01:30:13):
Hello, it's a you.

Speaker 7 (01:30:17):
Hello.

Speaker 51 (01:30:23):
I don't believe in you anymore?

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
Do you hear?

Speaker 37 (01:30:28):
I don't believe in you anymore.

Speaker 51 (01:30:41):
I know what you're going to say, doctor, Do you
what all doctors say at my time of life? You're
getting old?

Speaker 7 (01:30:49):
Well, it's true, I'm afraid. So what do you mean?

Speaker 51 (01:30:54):
What's the remedy there?

Speaker 52 (01:30:56):
There's no remedy for old age, missus bernister, at least
not one that's been in as yet. All we can
do is help you along the road.

Speaker 14 (01:31:05):
Help you along the road.

Speaker 51 (01:31:08):
I like that, doctor, I like that veny much.

Speaker 16 (01:31:10):
Well, at least you can smile.

Speaker 51 (01:31:12):
In the moment you'll be telling me that I need
a change as.

Speaker 55 (01:31:15):
A matter of fact, No, doctor, please.

Speaker 52 (01:31:19):
Listen to me, missus banister. You spend too much time
on your own in that house of yours. You need
to get out and meet people.

Speaker 51 (01:31:26):
I do meet people.

Speaker 52 (01:31:28):
Well, you shouldn't have retired when you did them.

Speaker 16 (01:31:31):
You're a woman who needs to keep her mind occupied.

Speaker 51 (01:31:34):
I didn't want to be known as the old lady
any longer. That's what the other secretarys were calling me,
the old lady.

Speaker 52 (01:31:41):
She came with a furniture all right, all right, but
a change of surroundings, a breath of sear would do
you good, and you might meet someone who knows meet someone. Yes,
you may be in your sixties, missus banister, but you're
still an attractive woman.

Speaker 51 (01:31:58):
That's very kind of you, doctor, But or quite wrong.
Attractive people are those who are full of life.

Speaker 52 (01:32:04):
That's why I want you to go away. Please take
my advice, have a week by the sea, make the
world going.

Speaker 16 (01:32:12):
What do you say?

Speaker 51 (01:32:16):
All right, I'll take your advice good, And I think
I know where to go. There's a little boarding house
I went to with my parents when I was about
oh eight or nine. It's a long stretch of beach
in front of it.

Speaker 14 (01:32:33):
I'll go there.

Speaker 51 (01:32:34):
I had a happy time there. I made my first
really big sand castle there. I hope no one's watching

(01:32:58):
an old woman like me pretending to be a child again.
Nothing more sillier, I imagine.

Speaker 16 (01:33:06):
Hullo, it's you again.

Speaker 51 (01:33:11):
Hello. I'm glad you came, so am I good?

Speaker 63 (01:33:18):
Heavens?

Speaker 47 (01:33:19):
What's the matter?

Speaker 51 (01:33:21):
I've just remembered. We must be about the same age now.

Speaker 2 (01:33:26):
You and I.

Speaker 14 (01:33:28):
M h.

Speaker 47 (01:33:30):
Did I trouble you very much in the past.

Speaker 51 (01:33:34):
Sometimes, but you helped me too. I'm sorry I turned against.

Speaker 47 (01:33:40):
You, and I'm sorry if I ever troubled you.

Speaker 51 (01:33:46):
Why did you hm troubled me?

Speaker 47 (01:33:50):
I wanted you, I still do.

Speaker 51 (01:33:54):
I feel too sad and finished for anyone.

Speaker 16 (01:33:56):
To want me.

Speaker 47 (01:33:57):
That's why I can come so close to you.

Speaker 51 (01:34:01):
There was that time in the last little when Melanie,
my second baby, was born. You came close to me.
Then you touched me, took me in her arms. Oh,
that journey into the sky.

Speaker 47 (01:34:16):
It was a mistake. I acted too soon. Come for
a walk, all right?

Speaker 51 (01:34:28):
Where should we walk to?

Speaker 47 (01:34:30):
Out there?

Speaker 6 (01:34:31):
There?

Speaker 16 (01:34:32):
That's right.

Speaker 51 (01:34:35):
We can't walk into the water.

Speaker 47 (01:34:36):
Not into it, my dear on it.

Speaker 51 (01:34:42):
It's impossible.

Speaker 47 (01:34:43):
No, it isn't. I promise you.

Speaker 34 (01:34:47):
I walked this way all those years ago, like you,
I thought it wouldn't be possible to walk on the water.
I wanted to die, so I walked into the water
until it was right over my head, or so I thought.

(01:35:09):
There was pain, blackness, terror, a sort of explosion, and
I thought now death for evermore. And then I suddenly
found myself standing on the sand again, watching a little

(01:35:31):
girl building her sand castle.

Speaker 47 (01:35:35):
You were the most beautiful person I had ever seen.

Speaker 34 (01:35:40):
I loved you on sight. You loved me too, but
you were very young. I couldn't really approach you except
to say.

Speaker 21 (01:35:53):
Hello.

Speaker 51 (01:35:55):
That's all you ever did until to day.

Speaker 47 (01:35:58):
No you did, sir, who are you?

Speaker 51 (01:36:02):
You didn't answer.

Speaker 2 (01:36:04):
I couldn't.

Speaker 47 (01:36:05):
I didn't know the answer.

Speaker 51 (01:36:07):
Then you went away.

Speaker 47 (01:36:09):
Influences kept separating us. I couldn't always reach you.

Speaker 51 (01:36:15):
When I wanted to reach you, you used to disappear.

Speaker 34 (01:36:19):
I couldn't help it. There's a time and place for everything.
One can't go against these influences. They are stronger than
we are, but at this moment they are with us.
I sha'n't disappear again.

Speaker 51 (01:36:40):
You would if I turned my head away and dismissed
you from my mind.

Speaker 34 (01:36:44):
Perhaps, but please don't never turn away from love. Come along,
my darling, Walk with me. Here, take my hand.

Speaker 51 (01:37:06):
There's nothing there, never mind.

Speaker 47 (01:37:10):
Come walk with me.

Speaker 51 (01:37:16):
I'm coming.

Speaker 47 (01:37:18):
Come along, then, walk with me.

Speaker 57 (01:37:25):
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming.

Speaker 45 (01:37:58):

Speaker 41 (01:38:15):
Ah No, No, stay where you are. Do not break

(01:38:38):
the stillness of this moment. This is a time of mystery,
a time when imagination is free and moves forward swiftly, silently.

Stanley is in the army?

Ah, Hell, I should like to speak to Helen Thornton.
Helen Thornton, my name is Marlow. I'm at Lipathus performing

my act, I received a thought that is vital to you.

Are you alone?

Speaker 6 (01:42:08):
Do as I say?

Speaker 15 (01:42:09):
Please?

Speaker 31 (01:42:09):

Allow no one in under any circumstance.

Speaker 22 (01:42:16):
No, Missus Thornton, this.

Speaker 2 (01:42:18):
Is no joke.

Speaker 41 (01:42:19):
Someone here in this nightclub is planning to kill you.

Speaker 19 (01:42:35):
Hello, I just got it.

Speaker 32 (01:42:37):
Oh, I've been trying to get you for hours. I
know it's very late, but could you come over?

Speaker 3 (01:42:42):
Lord?

Speaker 32 (01:42:43):
I'm so frightened that I'm alone here when he's out
of town and it's Marie's night off Norbert.

Speaker 60 (01:42:49):
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 20 (01:42:51):
What's wrong?

Speaker 59 (01:42:52):
Lovid?

Speaker 32 (01:42:52):

I'm so glad you're home.

Speaker 31 (01:43:39):
It's been awful.

Speaker 3 (01:43:41):
I didn't expect you when when.

Speaker 32 (01:43:43):
I heard the door.

Speaker 65 (01:43:44):
I finished my business in New York sooner as an
planned I would have wired, but I thought i'd surprise you.
I met Fred Hamilton on the train coming home, remember
the buyer from Saint Louis. He stopped off for a
drink downtown.

Speaker 28 (01:43:58):
Jack, you should have called me.

Speaker 65 (01:44:00):
As a matter of fact, I did try to phone
you around eleven. I tried to get you just as
we were leaving the.

Something is wrong, Helen, What is it right?

Yes?

Speaker 32 (01:44:19):
I was just frightened being alone.

Speaker 65 (01:44:22):
Well you've been alone before many times?

Speaker 14 (01:44:25):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:44:25):
That court?

Speaker 41 (01:44:27):
What call with the police?

Speaker 15 (01:44:30):
They called?

Speaker 66 (01:44:31):
There was a robbery in the neighborhood.

Speaker 6 (01:44:33):
Oh so that's it.

Speaker 65 (01:44:34):
That's why the door was double locked. Well, darling, there's
nothing to worry about.

Speaker 32 (01:44:39):
Now I'm here, right, Yes, Jack, you're here.

Speaker 15 (01:44:45):

Speaker 2 (01:44:56):
Thanks Jack.

Speaker 66 (01:45:00):
Oh, Paul, it's Helen.

Speaker 28 (01:45:14):

Speaker 28 (01:45:19):
You must help me, please.

Speaker 37 (01:45:21):

Speaker 2 (01:45:51):
Good Bye, Paul.

Speaker 32 (01:46:02):
Don't bother folding up the dresses, Marie, just throw them.
Me in this sort, isn't its kind of sudden you're
going away?

Speaker 31 (01:46:07):
Ask questions?

Speaker 5 (01:46:08):
Marie.

Speaker 32 (01:46:08):
Hurry please here and help me close this suitcase. You
finished packing the other suitcase. I'm going down to get
the car out of the garage.

Speaker 6 (01:46:17):
Morning, Hella, Jack so surprised the same.

Speaker 32 (01:46:21):
Marie said, you're gone.

Speaker 41 (01:46:23):
I didn't.

Speaker 6 (01:46:23):
I decided to come back. See I caught you time.

Speaker 41 (01:46:26):
I was just going over to Mildred so early in
the morning.

Speaker 66 (01:46:29):
We have an appointment for golf in those clothes.

Speaker 65 (01:46:35):
Well, Helen, I'll tell you why I came back this morning. Frankly,
I'm worried about you. Something's gone in your mind.

Speaker 7 (01:46:46):
I know it.

Speaker 15 (01:46:48):
Won't you tell me what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:46:50):
I'm all right, okay, I'll listen to me.

Speaker 65 (01:46:56):
I had some very important business to settle in the
office with Paul this morning.

Speaker 6 (01:47:00):
But you come first.

Speaker 28 (01:47:01):
You saw Paul that morning.

Speaker 65 (01:47:02):
No, I changed my mind on.

Speaker 6 (01:47:04):
The way down and came back.

Speaker 2 (01:47:07):
Helen.

Speaker 6 (01:47:07):
You need a rest. You and I are going away, No, Jack, Now,
there's no use arguing.

Speaker 65 (01:47:12):
I've already made a reservation for the week.

Speaker 3 (01:47:14):
Where where are you taking me?

Speaker 2 (01:47:17):
Jack?

Speaker 65 (01:47:17):
Remember that cabin we stayed there three years ago. It'll
be wonderful, just the two of us all along. Well,
we'll drive out there tomorrow.

Speaker 15 (01:47:24):
Now, there's no need to fuss.

Speaker 14 (01:47:25):
Ei.

Speaker 65 (01:47:25):
There's just a few old duds and my rifles. The
rifle it's throwing my gun. The hunting season is on.
The shooting at Lone Acres should be very good this year.

Speaker 15 (01:47:53):
Helen, what's this all about?

Speaker 3 (01:47:56):
You?

Speaker 41 (01:47:57):
But why here at Luigi's all the way across town
for here?

Speaker 31 (01:48:01):
What's gotten into you?

Speaker 66 (01:48:02):
Jack's going to kill me.

Speaker 15 (01:48:06):
Don't be ridiculous, Helen.

Speaker 41 (01:48:08):
That's what you told me over the phone last night.
He changed his plan, I see, and why missus Thornton.

Speaker 31 (01:48:13):
Is your husband going to kill you?

Speaker 32 (01:48:15):
Because because he's jealous of you?

Speaker 15 (01:48:19):
I'm jealous Jack jealous of me.

Speaker 66 (01:48:22):
He knows what we once meant to each other before
I married him, of course he does.

Speaker 22 (01:48:26):
So what why is winning you?

Speaker 2 (01:48:27):
As a standard joke between Jack and me?

Speaker 36 (01:48:29):
Rivals and love partners and business and all that stuff.

Speaker 19 (01:48:33):
Come on, snap out of it.

Speaker 6 (01:48:35):
I think i'd better talk to Jack about you. Paul.

Speaker 41 (01:48:37):
You mustn't promise me you won't, all.

Speaker 6 (01:48:40):
Right, Helen, If you say so.

Speaker 66 (01:48:42):
Jack's taking me the Lone Acres tomorrow for.

Speaker 31 (01:48:45):
A rest, he said, good, it's just what you need, Helen.

Speaker 32 (01:48:49):
I'll never come back alive.

Speaker 15 (01:48:51):
No, Helen, get hold of yourself. Everything's all right.

Speaker 31 (01:48:54):
Your imagination's overwork.

Speaker 14 (01:48:56):
That's all.

Speaker 22 (01:48:57):
You should go to Lonnakereds for a rest.

Speaker 41 (01:48:59):
You'll do your world of good.

Speaker 30 (01:49:00):
All right, Paul.

Speaker 33 (01:49:01):
I'll come, but I'm so frightened. So frightened, Paul.

Speaker 2 (01:49:06):
We'll be alone, and he'll have his gun.

Speaker 6 (01:49:20):
You know, Heaven, Sometimes I think I love this gun
more than I do.

Speaker 15 (01:49:23):
You there, it's okay.

Speaker 65 (01:49:27):
Now, clean is a whistle and fit for the work
at hand. They oh at the fog lifting you can
see clear across the valley.

Speaker 6 (01:49:36):
No, we'll get in some hunting today.

Speaker 65 (01:49:38):
After all, Helen, what's the matter You haven't said a
word since breakfast.

Speaker 19 (01:49:46):
I'm all right.

Speaker 32 (01:49:47):
I've been wanting to finish this story.

Speaker 65 (01:49:49):
The Golden Goblet murders, you know, detective stories.

Speaker 6 (01:49:55):
Hand me a laugh.

Speaker 65 (01:49:56):
Now, if I were planning a murder, i'd use a
gun like this Springfield.

Speaker 6 (01:50:03):
Just say, for instance, I wanted to kill.

Speaker 65 (01:50:08):
We'll say I wanted to kill me.

Speaker 6 (01:50:12):
All right, say I wanted to kill you.

Speaker 65 (01:50:17):
Now, let's see, we have to have a motive, don't Well.

Speaker 20 (01:50:22):
Jealousy.

Speaker 15 (01:50:23):
Yes, I'm jealous.

Speaker 4 (01:50:24):
That's Paul Allen.

Speaker 15 (01:50:24):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (01:50:25):
I'm jealous of Paul.

Speaker 32 (01:50:26):
I don't want to talk about it.

Speaker 65 (01:50:27):
Oh, come on, elling be a sport. Our murder plant
is just beginning to get interesting. Now, let's see we
need a locale.

Speaker 6 (01:50:32):

I want to see what happens the hunting season.

Speaker 6 (01:50:59):
A gunshot, you're dead.

Speaker 15 (01:51:02):
A regrettable accident, and there's our perfect murder.

Speaker 41 (01:51:24):
Helen the Thornton has discovered that someone wishes to murder
her a mental telepathyst performing at a nightclub, read the
thought from among the guests. Later, Helen was shocked to
learn that one of the guests present in the.

Speaker 15 (01:51:39):
Nightclub was her husband Jack.

Speaker 41 (01:51:43):
She fears that he might want to kill her because
of his jealousy.

Speaker 6 (01:51:45):
Of Paul, a former suitor.

Speaker 41 (01:51:48):
Her anxiety is heightened, and her husband suggests that they
go away for a weekend to lone Acres and isolated
hunting lodge. Once there, Jack tells it's a perfect setting
for a possible perfect crime, for a murder, A hunting accident.

Speaker 14 (01:52:09):
In the wood.

Speaker 2 (01:52:18):
Up this way, all this pass on the band hit Jack?
Would you mind if I went back to the cabin.

Speaker 20 (01:52:25):
But there's a clearing up here, Jo, I will stop
for a Yes, I'm going to circle as hell.

Speaker 6 (01:52:30):
You wait out there for Jack.

Speaker 28 (01:52:32):
Jack, Please don't leave me you alone.

Speaker 15 (01:52:37):
Yeah, A regrettable.

Speaker 65 (01:52:49):
Accident, mister Thornton, for doctor I don't understand how it happened.

Speaker 41 (01:52:53):
Now, mister Thornton, it's really nothing serious, just a shoulder
flesh wound.

Speaker 6 (01:52:57):
Your wife's perfectly all right.

Speaker 20 (01:52:59):
Well let me I see right now.

Speaker 15 (01:53:00):
We're go in right now, thank you. She's asleep. Go ahead,
wake her up.

Speaker 6 (01:53:08):
You'll feel better knowing you're here. Hell, Helen, do.

Speaker 7 (01:53:14):
It's me, Helen Jack, Missus Thornton.

Speaker 38 (01:53:18):
It's your husband.

Speaker 30 (01:53:19):
Doctor.

Speaker 28 (01:53:20):
Get him out of here. He's gonna kill me.

Speaker 67 (01:53:22):
Please, doctor, you must save me.

Speaker 6 (01:53:27):
That you better leave the room for a while.

Speaker 7 (01:53:28):
Oh doctor, I'll wait out time.

Speaker 28 (01:53:34):
Doctor, Doctor, please don't let him in here again.

Speaker 31 (01:53:38):
You must believe me.

Speaker 32 (01:53:40):
He's planning to kill.

Speaker 6 (01:53:41):
Me, Missus Thornton.

Speaker 41 (01:53:42):
What happened was an accident.

Speaker 3 (01:53:44):
That's what he wants you to think.

Speaker 32 (01:53:46):
He planned it that way.

Speaker 66 (01:53:47):
But it wasn't an accident, now.

Speaker 41 (01:53:49):
Missus Thornton, it's perfectly natural in the case like this
that you should imagine strange things.

Speaker 30 (01:53:54):
Doctor.

Speaker 32 (01:53:54):
You think I'm crazy, don't you.

Speaker 14 (01:53:56):
I'm not.

Speaker 32 (01:53:57):
I know what I'm saying. You yourself took the bullet
out of my shoulders. Doesn't that prove to you that
my husband shot me?

Speaker 41 (01:54:05):
On the contrary, Missus Thornton. At the scene of the accident,
they found your husband with a thirty two caliber rifle
in his hands. The bullet I removed from your shoulder
was a forty five caliber pistol cartridge.

Speaker 2 (01:54:26):
Marie, Marie, Yes, Misterton, I'll be right up.

Speaker 22 (01:54:35):
I was just cleaning up the cellar.

Speaker 28 (01:54:36):
Man, Missus Thornton, you have the swing off, yes, Marie.

Speaker 32 (01:54:42):
The doctor says, the shoulders okay now, but he soon
I'll be playing golf again. Oh that's fine, man. I'm
so glad, Thanks, Marie. Were there any calls for me while.

Speaker 49 (01:54:50):
I was Mister Thornton called to tell you not to
wait up for him.

Speaker 32 (01:54:53):
He'll be home very late.

Speaker 49 (01:54:54):
And oh, mister Allen called to missus Thornton.

Speaker 32 (01:54:57):
Did he say what he wanted?

Speaker 19 (01:54:58):
No, ma'am.

Speaker 28 (01:54:58):
Did he try to get your later on?

Speaker 20 (01:55:01):
This is sporting.

Speaker 32 (01:55:01):
I was thinking, do you suppose mister Thornton wants to
keep this box of bullets downstairs on the open shelf.
I was thinking it might be dangerous man, bullets.

Speaker 5 (01:55:11):
Yes, ma'am, this box here.

Speaker 32 (01:55:13):
Let me see that box, Marie. Forty five caliber cartridges.
Forty five caliber cartridges.

Speaker 6 (01:55:36):
Shoulder with a forty five caliber.

Speaker 49 (01:55:50):
Have you had?

Speaker 32 (01:55:52):
No, I've come to see the great mall guess and
five long time this way? No, I mean I've come
to see him on a prison that he's expecting me.

Speaker 40 (01:56:01):
Oh, I say, sure, this lady to the gate Malo's.

Speaker 32 (01:56:19):
And when the doctor told me about the bullet he
removed from my shoulder, I thought it was all a
terrible mistake. I was even too ashamed to explain to
Jack why I'd acted the way I did. But now,
mister Marlow, I am sure that what you told me
over the phone that night is true. Someone is really
planning to kill me.

Speaker 14 (01:56:37):
Are you sure?

Speaker 22 (01:56:39):
Husband?

Speaker 31 (01:56:40):
Are you sure?

Speaker 41 (01:56:41):
The doctor said it was a forty five caliber cartridge?

Speaker 32 (01:56:44):
Yes, a forty five caliber cartridge, just like these that
Marie found.

Speaker 22 (01:56:49):
In the basement.

Speaker 10 (01:56:50):
Does your husband have a pistol?

Speaker 2 (01:56:51):
My sixth?

Speaker 32 (01:56:52):
So he keeps his guns locked in a case. He
has the only key, Mister Marlow. He tried once and failed,
so try again. You must help me, all.

Speaker 41 (01:57:03):
Right, missus Thornton.

Speaker 22 (01:57:04):
I'll do all I can.

Speaker 6 (01:57:06):
Where is your husband now?

Speaker 32 (01:57:07):
He's out on business.

Speaker 28 (01:57:08):
He'll be home late.

Speaker 15 (01:57:09):
Then we'll have to work fast.

Speaker 41 (01:57:10):
Now let me see I go on again at nine o'clock.
I want you to go home immediately and find some
way of opening the case in which your husband keeps
his guns.

Speaker 15 (01:57:19):
I'll call you just as soon as my act is over.

Speaker 40 (01:57:22):
This is sorting.

Speaker 41 (01:57:23):
If you can find a forty five caliber pistol in
that case, I think we can put an end to
this affair.

Speaker 19 (01:57:41):
Hello.

Speaker 32 (01:57:42):
I opened the case, there was no pistol. I'll pitch
all through the house and I can't find it anywhere.

Speaker 28 (01:57:47):
He must have it with him.

Speaker 18 (01:57:49):
What shall I do it?

Speaker 32 (01:57:50):
I can't stay here tonight.

Speaker 5 (01:57:51):
You'll kill me.

Speaker 3 (01:57:54):
Come down here immediately.

Speaker 32 (01:58:01):
My husband is there now, all.

Speaker 41 (01:58:07):
Right, mister marlow And where am I supposed to be?

Speaker 16 (01:58:10):
Right now?

Speaker 17 (01:58:11):
Jack?

Speaker 2 (01:58:12):
But Jack, he said you were.

Speaker 32 (01:58:15):
You were standing there all the time, you heard everything.

Speaker 11 (01:58:20):
It's not you?

Speaker 18 (01:58:23):
Then?

Speaker 32 (01:58:23):
Who is it at the seventy eight Club?

Speaker 68 (01:58:25):
Me?

Speaker 22 (01:58:26):
Seventy eight Club?

Speaker 19 (01:58:28):
Helena?

Speaker 20 (01:58:28):
Are you going to tell me what this is all about?

Speaker 2 (01:58:31):
Not you?

Speaker 69 (01:58:32):
Oh?

Speaker 32 (01:58:32):
Yes, darling.

Speaker 28 (01:58:34):
I'm going to tell you everything.

Speaker 32 (01:58:36):
Everything I should have told you before.

Speaker 28 (01:58:39):
I wanted to only Oh.

Speaker 66 (01:58:41):
Jack, I need you so much.

Speaker 6 (01:58:56):
Look here, Marlowe. I want to get to the bottom
of this.

Speaker 15 (01:58:58):
Miss is Thorton, and I have told you every Yes, Well.

Speaker 65 (01:59:00):
Then explain to me why at the very moment I
was standing in my own home listening to my wife
talk to you on the phone, you were telling Missus
Thornton that I was sitting in.

Speaker 6 (01:59:08):
This night club planning to kill her.

Speaker 65 (01:59:11):
Oh don't you see, Helen, this man's a cheap fixed
well he's never even seen me before.

Speaker 6 (01:59:17):
Why didn't you come to me when this all started?
Darkly like I was a free.

Speaker 3 (01:59:21):
Because she thought you were the one, and so did I.

Speaker 41 (01:59:25):
That's why I assumed it was you sitting out there.
Of course I never saw you before you entered my
dressing room a few minutes ago. You see, mister Thornton,
I have a telepathic mind, not a magic guy. I
know what your wife and I have told you is
hard to believe.

Speaker 65 (01:59:38):
I don't know what your game is, but I'll find
out soon enough.

Speaker 41 (01:59:44):
Come on, Helen, we're going to police headquarters.

Speaker 15 (01:59:46):
That won't be necessary. Mister Thornton.

Speaker 41 (01:59:48):
The police know about this, I told him. Huh, The
police are here now in this nightclub. Miter Thornton, whether
you believe it or not, your wife's life is in jeopardy.
Someone in this club now planning to kill her. This
will convince you you own a forty five caliber pistol
with a serial number seven five six eight two.

Speaker 65 (02:00:10):
Yes, that's right, that's the pistol I reported there's missing.

Speaker 41 (02:00:13):
Yes, I know the police told me tonight, Jack.

Speaker 32 (02:00:16):
Why didn't you tell me?

Speaker 37 (02:00:17):
Well, Tarling has.

Speaker 6 (02:00:18):
Been so upset lately.

Speaker 65 (02:00:20):
I didn't want to cause you any more anxiety.

Speaker 41 (02:00:22):
That pistol is, in all likelihood the same weapon that
was used up at lone Acre's in an attempt on
your wife's life.

Speaker 15 (02:00:28):
Mister Thornton, that.

Speaker 41 (02:00:29):
Pistol was brought to this club tonight by the person
who is planning.

Speaker 15 (02:00:31):
To kill your wife.

Speaker 41 (02:00:33):
The police found it concealed in an overcoat and a hat.

Speaker 37 (02:00:35):
Check room.

Speaker 41 (02:00:36):
Whoever claims that coat is Missus Thornton's intended murderer?

Speaker 4 (02:00:40):
Why should anyone want.

Speaker 6 (02:00:41):
To kill her?

Speaker 2 (02:00:42):
Who can it be?

Speaker 22 (02:00:43):
You'll soon find out. Mister Thornton.

Speaker 41 (02:00:46):
Do you recall the night you were in this club
the night I first received the murder?

Speaker 16 (02:00:51):
Thought?

Speaker 10 (02:00:52):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (02:00:52):
That night?

Speaker 41 (02:00:53):
Did you see anybody here or were you with anyone
who knows both you and missus Thornton?

Speaker 6 (02:00:58):
Very well?

Speaker 15 (02:01:00):
See, well, yeah, no it couldn't be.

Speaker 22 (02:01:07):
Pardon we got mister Mole here he is, Will you
bring him an inspector?

Speaker 41 (02:01:13):
All right to you this way, mister Thornton, you're intended murderer,
that's right.

Speaker 22 (02:01:22):
He was with me here the night you received the murder.

Speaker 41 (02:01:25):
Thought it was Paul all the time, and it almost worked. Yes,
and all the clues pointed to you, mister Thornton.

Speaker 19 (02:01:34):
Why we were so friendly?

Speaker 41 (02:01:36):
The three aren't friendly More than that, Missus Thornton, Paul
Allen was hopelessly in love.

Speaker 15 (02:01:44):

Colonel H. P. Lathrop, River Acres, Sacramento, California. The home
was even more impressive than the address. A barefooted Indian
servant girl admitted me and let me down a long
hallway and left me standing in a waiting room which
was dwarfed by a giant coat of arms.

Speaker 25 (02:07:01):
Mister Paladin.

Speaker 16 (02:07:03):
Yes, Colonel Athrop, happy to know you, sir. And you, sir.

Speaker 55 (02:07:07):
I see you've noticed my family.

Speaker 16 (02:07:08):
Coat of arm. I could hardly not notice it, Colonel.

Speaker 55 (02:07:11):
If pride of family be a sin, Sir, then I'm guilty.
I'm proud of my family heritage.

Speaker 16 (02:07:16):
I'm certain you have every reason to be proud.

Speaker 7 (02:07:18):
Clone.

Speaker 55 (02:07:19):
I trust you'll bear that in mind when you attend
to the mission. I've been contemplating for you. Oh, I've
heard of you, mister Paladin. I placed that ad hoping
you would answer it. I need a man who was able.

Speaker 3 (02:07:31):
Oh, Martha, my dear, I'm sorry.

Speaker 51 (02:07:34):
I didn't know we had visitors.

Speaker 55 (02:07:36):
This is mister Paladin, my dear, How do you do?

Speaker 7 (02:07:38):
How do you do?

Speaker 16 (02:07:38):
Missus?

Speaker 7 (02:07:38):
Leanthrop?

Speaker 12 (02:07:39):
Please forgive me Pablo's very ill.

Speaker 51 (02:07:41):
I must hurry now.

Speaker 57 (02:07:42):
You'll be with us for dinner, mister Paladin.

Speaker 16 (02:07:44):
Of course you will.

Speaker 55 (02:07:45):
Ah nice, excuse me now, the eternal nurse. My wife's
always ministering to the sick, the lame, and the lazy.

Speaker 16 (02:07:55):
Colonel, what is it you wish of me?

Speaker 55 (02:07:57):
Before we discuss business? You must refresh your duallamy. Yes, Connel,
take mister Paladin's bag to his room, draws bath. You've
plenty of time for a bath, sir. We dine at eight, Brandy.

Speaker 16 (02:08:20):
I said, I yes, thank you, colonel.

Speaker 55 (02:08:24):
You're probably anxious to know why you are here.

Speaker 2 (02:08:26):
I am.

Speaker 55 (02:08:27):
I am not certain my wife will approve of my
reasons for contacting you.

Speaker 61 (02:08:31):
I approve of you, my dear.

Speaker 57 (02:08:33):
That's enough.

Speaker 16 (02:08:35):
Why am I here, Colonel?

Speaker 55 (02:08:37):
I want you to locate a woman for me, mister Paladin,
A woman named Gloria Morgan.

Speaker 16 (02:08:42):
Yes, I have heard the name.

Speaker 55 (02:08:44):
And then you've also heard of Lodestar Nevada. Yes, you've
heard of it, I'm sure, my dear.

Speaker 51 (02:08:51):
Possibly I have. I can't say one way or the other.

Speaker 55 (02:08:55):
During this Silver Boom, it was a roaring mining.

Speaker 14 (02:08:58):
Camp, was it.

Speaker 48 (02:09:00):
May I pour you more, Brandy, mister Paladin, no, no,
thank you.

Speaker 55 (02:09:03):
Gloria Morgan was reigning queen of the Tenderloin district there
until the boom was over.

Speaker 16 (02:09:08):
Then she disappeared, and your interest in locating her, Colonel.

Speaker 55 (02:09:12):
She's a missing chapter in a history I'm writing about
the West Heavens.

Speaker 48 (02:09:16):
She's so important you have to hire mister Palladin to
find her.

Speaker 55 (02:09:19):
Colonel essential, My dear, I'm a stickler for exactness. I
must meet her and know what she's like. I know
that a gun battle was once fought for her favors.
I know that her beauty and her fame were known
throughout the camps. I know she imperiled, hearts and lives
with a smile. What I don't know is whether she
still lives or not.

Speaker 16 (02:09:41):
And I must know.

Speaker 71 (02:09:43):
Why don't you look into this matter yourself. I regret,
mister Paladin, that I'm not physically up to it. You'll
take the job, Yes, yes, I will. I'd like to
meet her too.

Speaker 72 (02:10:14):
Be sociable, looks smart, Keep to date with PEPSI, drink
light refreshing.

Speaker 73 (02:10:25):
PEPSI, stay young than their and.

Speaker 3 (02:10:30):

Speaker 25 (02:10:35):

Speaker 2 (02:10:37):
Let your hospitality show you a sociable in the modern manner. Pepsi,
you know, is the favorite of the smart and young
at heart.

Speaker 72 (02:10:47):
Be sociable, looks smart, keep to date with PEPSI, Drink
light refreshing PEPSI, stay young, can fair and del be sociable.

Speaker 18 (02:11:05):
Have a pepsy?

Speaker 7 (02:11:08):
Have you tried to pepsy lately?

Speaker 16 (02:11:16):
It was a curious mission searching for a dance hall queen,
but no more curious than the man who instituted it,
or the reasons he gave for wanting Gloria Morgan located.
There were other people who had different ideas.

Speaker 51 (02:11:30):
I come to your room to warn you do not
go to Lodoster Colonelisa Munster.

Speaker 47 (02:11:38):
He liked to hurt people.

Speaker 53 (02:11:40):
He is torturing Who is he torturing his wife?

Speaker 56 (02:11:46):
He has been stabbing her with that name, Gloria Morgan.

Speaker 47 (02:11:51):
I think she is sweetheart. Once he want to find.

Speaker 14 (02:11:56):
Her, bring her here?

Speaker 16 (02:11:58):
He told me he never laid on is on the woman?

Speaker 55 (02:12:01):
He lie?

Speaker 16 (02:12:03):
Perhaps, but then I'm paid to locate Gloria Morgan.

Speaker 48 (02:12:06):
If you do, if you bring her back here, I
kid you.

Speaker 21 (02:12:23):
Who welcome to Lord Star.

Speaker 16 (02:12:39):

She must have been quite a lady.

Speaker 6 (02:13:42):
What lady, I say, lady, Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:13:46):
The slip at the tongue. As a matter of fact,
I'm not sure she was a lady, judging by the
things I've heard of her.

Speaker 13 (02:13:53):
Every one called Taladan.

Speaker 16 (02:13:55):
Yeah, move on, Mazie, shut up.

Speaker 3 (02:13:58):
I can talk to him if I want to.

Speaker 8 (02:14:01):
You were asking about Gloria Morgan, ain't you?

Speaker 2 (02:14:04):
Oh? I knew were.

Speaker 5 (02:14:06):
I worked with her, roomed with her once.

Speaker 25 (02:14:10):
How about some of that my pleasure?

Speaker 16 (02:14:19):
Where can I find Gloria Morgan?

Speaker 74 (02:14:21):
I don't know where little Glory is?

Speaker 3 (02:14:24):
Well, I can tell you, or I wish she was.

Speaker 17 (02:14:29):
Oh my man left me when he saw her.

Speaker 7 (02:14:33):
That's what.

Speaker 14 (02:14:35):
For?

Speaker 3 (02:14:35):
All around?

Speaker 75 (02:14:36):
Good.

Speaker 5 (02:14:36):
Look, she couldn't hold a candle to me.

Speaker 21 (02:14:40):
Amaze.

Speaker 16 (02:14:41):
Oh, mister Summers, get out of here. Amazing, gone, yes, sir,
stay where you are mazin.

Speaker 60 (02:14:49):
My name is Clay Somers Palladin.

Speaker 7 (02:14:52):
Don't reach for the good now, let's go.

Speaker 16 (02:14:58):
What appear? I have no choice. That's right.

Speaker 60 (02:15:01):
You don't come on your horse, Yes, okay, I'll just
take your gun now, Peladan, you show your face in

(02:15:24):
load Star again, I'll kill you with your own gun.

Speaker 2 (02:15:29):
There'll be no fair fight.

Speaker 60 (02:15:31):
I'll ambush you.

Speaker 7 (02:15:34):
Ride mound up.

Speaker 2 (02:15:46):
Now right out.

Speaker 61 (02:16:00):
I was a teenage jam that's right. I was a
teenage jam, livin in a lovely scratch on the tile
beeth room floor. I came in on a saddle chew,
and then I moved to the floor. There were millions
of us James playin' rock around the sink or hidin'
infect My hostess was a wonderful woman. Every week she'd
splash all around us with nice, warm soap and water.

(02:16:21):
But then some rats squeal to her about lithel and
we had a beat it. Lifelow kills germs, it was maida.

Speaker 24 (02:16:28):
Yes, if you're a germ, you'll hate lysol because lysol
kills disease germs many deadly viruses too. Lysol also destroys
bathroom odors. Cleaning every week with lysol in the SuDS
disinfects your bathroom from one cleaning to the next as
nothing else can. A little Lysol ran disinfectant in the
SuDS makes your favorite cleaners work better, including many that

(02:16:48):
claim to sanitize. Lysol is now available in regular or
pine fragrance as little as twenty nine cents.

Speaker 61 (02:16:55):
We're looking for a new bathroom to live in? How
about yours?

Speaker 16 (02:17:05):
I rode as ordered, but by nightfall I was back
in load the Star, ready to meet the man who
had threatened to shoot me on sight. He seemed genuinely
surprised to see me again when I appeared at his office.
Hold it, I told him, I know what you told me,
mister Summons. Now I'm telling you this is a derringer.

(02:17:27):
Sit down, Please?

Speaker 2 (02:17:32):
What do you want my gun?

Speaker 6 (02:17:34):
For?

Speaker 7 (02:17:34):
One thing?

Speaker 16 (02:17:36):
It's a fine weapon. I just couldn't leave it behind.

Speaker 60 (02:17:38):
Where is it way over there?

Speaker 6 (02:17:48):
Well, keep your hands off that picture.

Speaker 16 (02:17:52):
And ladies, lovely Gloria Morgan.

Speaker 6 (02:17:56):
Put that picture down.

Speaker 16 (02:17:59):
I don't want the picture, missus Summers, but I want
to talk about her. You must have been very fond
of her. I don't understand how a woman like her
writes your loyalty. Why men will kill for her. She
was a filth. There's a cheat, a liar, and a
thief and worse. I know that for a fact. You

(02:18:22):
know nothing, Palt And what is the truth?

Speaker 60 (02:18:26):
She was all things to all men, she was saying,
to devil or whatever I to stand.

Speaker 16 (02:18:33):
There was a gun battle fought for her favors.

Speaker 60 (02:18:36):
Not for her favors, for her hand in marriage. Oh,
I suppose the other fellow had as much right to
court her as I did you. But I it was
a good fight and a fair one. When it was
all over, we.

Speaker 7 (02:18:54):
Were both near death.

Speaker 16 (02:18:56):
And Gloria Morgan.

Speaker 7 (02:18:59):
She told that.

Speaker 60 (02:19:01):
She loved neither one of us, and she went away.

Speaker 2 (02:19:08):
All I have left of her is that picture. I
don't know where she is.

Speaker 7 (02:19:12):
No, I can't tell you that.

Speaker 16 (02:19:14):
You don't have to tell me, mister Simmons. I know
where to find Gloria Morgan.

Speaker 2 (02:19:20):
M you going.

Speaker 16 (02:19:40):
I can't very well do that. I told you I
would kill you, so is everyone else. And I'm still alive.
I want to see Colonel Lathrop.

Speaker 56 (02:19:50):
You find out about that woman.

Speaker 6 (02:19:54):
Yes, you are going to tell them.

Speaker 21 (02:19:57):
I was hired to.

Speaker 16 (02:19:59):
But I don't think that Gloria Morgan is going to
hurt your mistress told of me. I'll take me to
the colonel.

Speaker 18 (02:20:05):
Gone.

Speaker 16 (02:20:13):
Colonel Missus Lathrop, how's your patient, Missus Lathrop?

Speaker 52 (02:20:19):
Pablo as well?

Speaker 15 (02:20:20):
Thank you?

Speaker 51 (02:20:21):
That'll be all to olemy.

Speaker 59 (02:20:23):
Yes, missus.

Speaker 55 (02:20:27):
Hell were you successful, mister Palladin? Did you find Gloria Morgan?

Speaker 7 (02:20:31):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (02:20:32):
Well, where is she? Perhaps it's more important to know
who she was rather than where she is. Colonel I
know who she was, I doubt it. I talked to
many people, and few agreed as to exactly what she was.
Some alleged that she was a strumpet. Some held of
the contrary. Now, others thought that Gloria Morgan was a

(02:20:52):
victim of a rather ugly set of circumstances over which
she managed to triumph. What circumstances. She was abandoned in
the mind in camp by a man who had brought
her there under the pretense of marriage. And no money,
no friends, no one to turn to, she did the
best she could. She sang and danced in the saloons.

(02:21:13):
She shared in the money that men spent for the
pleasure of drinking in her company. Is this distressing you.

Speaker 2 (02:21:18):
My dear?

Speaker 51 (02:21:20):
No, go ahead, mister Palladin.

Speaker 16 (02:21:24):
Well, apparently Gloria Morgan managed to do these things without
compromising her essential integrity. Two men wanted to marry her,
and she rejected them both. But as far as I
could learn, that both men are still in love with her.
Go on, mister Pelladin. Many others still ever for her generosity.
Now I'm trying to crystallize my impression of Gloria Morgan

(02:21:46):
as I learned to know her, Colonel, and that impression
is that she was a remarkable woman whose friendship I
would have considered a high honor. Colonel, please, go on,
mister Pellin. Gloria Morgan married today happily. Unhappily. I'm sure
it was a good marriage to a proud man until

(02:22:06):
he received information exposing his wife's past and the worst
kind of light. So, out of hurt arrogant pride, he
planned to punish her by having a third party confront
her with proof of her identity in his presence. That
will be quite enough, sho this scheme was unworthy of
the man. Colonel. Now, I have an idea that he
was still in love with his wife, but he was

(02:22:27):
sick in his mind, and the pity of it all
is that if this man had approached his wife in
a reasonable manner, I'm certain she would have told him
all he wanted to know.

Speaker 51 (02:22:37):
Yes, I'm sure she would have done that. But my
husband paid you to make a report, mister Palladin. Why
don't you.

Speaker 16 (02:22:45):
Make it the whereabouts of Gloria Morgan? You want to
know where she is? Colonel No, mister Pellin is just
as well. Lauria Morgan at Boonton Days is dead. Do
you believe that, Colonel, Yes, yes, I believe it. Excuse

(02:23:10):
me let him alone for a few moments, then go
to him. Missus Lathrop, Thank.

Speaker 51 (02:23:24):
You very much, mister Paladin. Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

Speaker 16 (02:23:41):
It's quite all right.

Speaker 5 (02:23:42):
Is entirely my fault in the contrary, I wasn't looking
where I was going.

Speaker 16 (02:23:46):
We could debate the matter if you'd care to join
me for a cup of coffee. Now my name is Paladin.

Speaker 3 (02:23:53):
I shan't forget your gallantry or your intriguing invitation, mister Paladin,
but I must hurry along.

Speaker 62 (02:23:59):
Good day, good day.

Speaker 16 (02:24:01):
We will meet again, of course, we share Oh when

see the chef. Now, small supper, something very special with
wine and for two people served in my suite. You

Since spring is a season of awakening things of summer's fulfillment,
it's fitting that every year the American Cancer Society should
raise its vitally needed funds in April. For each year,
the April harvest of donations gives promise of new impetus
in the drive to conquer cancer. Your local collection under
the banner of the American Cancer Society is a drive

(02:25:45):
to finance unlimited research and experiment. Progress already made has
given hard working doctors and scientists more hope than ever before.
No panaceas have been found, but a growing number of
cancers can be and are being cured. Thousands lived to
day who would have seen no hint of hope a
decade ago. Help spread the effectiveness of the anti cancer

(02:26:07):
crusade in two ways, with a check up and a
check Have the family's health checked once a year for
early detection of cancer is still the safest road to
a cure. And this month, give a generous donation to
your local Cancer Society or to Cancer in care of
your post office.

speaking join us again next week, bore have gun. We'll travel.

Speaker 14 (02:27:29):
The mummers in the.

Speaker 15 (02:27:30):
Little theater of the air.

Speaker 36 (02:27:45):
Now the hermit is ready.

Speaker 13 (02:27:55):
Whole story, sweeze story and murders till the hermit knows
of them. All turn out your leg turn them out. Ah,
have you heard the story the black banding? Then listen

(02:28:17):
while the hermit tells you the story just as it was.

Speaker 2 (02:28:21):
Told to him.

Speaker 14 (02:28:30):
You asked me to tell you the strangest story I
have ever heard. I did not witness what happened to
Jan van Dirck, for it was long before my time.
But I've heard my grandfather tell of it, as did
his father before him. It is a story that's been
handed down through the generations of our family, and it
is believed. You see, this young Hollander, Jan Vandrck, was

(02:28:53):
a relative of mine. When he was a young fellow,
he went to Paris to attend the university. He came
to France during the time of the French Revolution, and
he suffered intensely because of it. The howling crowds, the
bloody execution stabbed at the very soul of one as
sensitive as young Vendor. He had one friend in his
city in the throes of violence, father Perischont, who liked

(02:29:16):
the boy and often invited him to his small rooms.
One afternoon, Yam came to him.

Speaker 41 (02:29:22):
Sit down, my boy, you look pale and hungry.

Speaker 31 (02:29:25):
I am hungry, father, but I cannot eat what I
see on the streets. It turns me inside out.

Speaker 41 (02:29:31):
It is sad for want, so young to see only
this baser side of man. You need sunlight and only
small shadows at this time in your life, Father Perischon,
all of this horror, these scenes of cruelty, they weakened
my faith in my fellow man. Why do you not
return to your own country?

Speaker 7 (02:29:50):
You?

Speaker 31 (02:29:51):
As soon as I finished studying, I shall go. That
is why I work such long hours day and night
to finish the work, so that I may get away
and try to forget.

Speaker 42 (02:29:59):
Time will help you, my boy.

Speaker 41 (02:30:02):
The war and beauty of your own land will blot
out the plash to the great. You will marry, and
your own life will make you forget the perier.

Speaker 14 (02:30:10):
You are a witnessing to day.

Speaker 31 (02:30:11):
I often wonder how about the marrying part? I mean,
you see, Father, I admire beauty so much. I know,
since I can remember, I've dreamed of only one woman
for me.

Speaker 14 (02:30:25):
She is so beautiful.

Speaker 31 (02:30:27):
This girl I dream about, I don't think I can
ever find her in real life.

Speaker 41 (02:30:31):
It is the beauty of soul that counts you.

Speaker 31 (02:30:34):
Oh, I know this girl I dream of as a
soul of beauty.

Speaker 41 (02:30:36):
Father, come, my boy, let us eater the little I
have to offer.

Speaker 14 (02:30:43):
Outside of the visits with Father perishar Jan was a recluse,
spending most of his time in the libraries, always surrounded
with people, yet always alone and escape from the realities
of the present. One night, he stayed in the library late.
While there, the storm arose, but.

Speaker 41 (02:31:02):
It was closing time, and so Jan was forced to
step out into the storm to make his way to
his lodgings in the old part of Paris.

Speaker 14 (02:31:14):
The lightning gleamed and the thunder rattled loudly through the
narrow streets.

Speaker 41 (02:31:19):
He crossed the Place de Lagrette, the square where the
public executions were performed, just as he was.

Speaker 14 (02:31:25):
Passing the permanent guillotine which had.

Speaker 6 (02:31:27):
Been built there.

Speaker 14 (02:31:28):
A bright flash of lightning bathed the square in its
cold blue radiance. The dreadful instrument of death loomed before
him in all its stark ghastliness.

Speaker 6 (02:31:40):
Oh out terrible.

Speaker 14 (02:31:46):
Jane shrank back in horror. His heart sickened within him,
and he turned shudderingly away. Just then there was a
lull in the storm.

Speaker 41 (02:31:54):
Complete silence seemed to fall over the whole city. Then
he heard a sound.

Speaker 14 (02:32:02):
He turned back, and there on the bottom step of
the guillotine, said a woman, crying bitterly.

Speaker 31 (02:32:12):
I beg your son, Can I do anything for you?
May I not help you?

Speaker 30 (02:32:21):
No one can help me.

Speaker 14 (02:32:23):
Now you've lost someone to the guillotine.

Speaker 30 (02:32:26):
Today, I lost everyone.

Speaker 33 (02:32:29):
It made me come and watch as one by one
they died.

Speaker 30 (02:32:35):
I wanted to close my eyes.

Speaker 14 (02:32:37):
I could not.

Speaker 31 (02:32:38):
I understand horror kept your eyes open. But why stay here? Now?

Speaker 2 (02:32:44):
Why not leave this place?

Speaker 30 (02:32:46):
I have not to think.

Speaker 33 (02:32:48):
I can still to see them marching up the steps,
the heavy knife being raised, the whistling stud at it fell,
each time, taking another of my loved ones from me.
The blood of my father, my mother, and my two.

Speaker 30 (02:33:08):
Brothers mingled on that platform today.

Speaker 14 (02:33:12):
Have you no place to go?

Speaker 30 (02:33:14):
No, I have no friends left, they too have gone.

Speaker 31 (02:33:19):
You can't stay here.

Speaker 6 (02:33:22):
Come with me.

Speaker 30 (02:33:23):
I cannot accept your office.

Speaker 6 (02:33:24):
I want to be your friend. I promise that no
harm shall come to you.

Speaker 15 (02:33:28):
Here.

Speaker 6 (02:33:29):
Let me help you out.

Speaker 14 (02:33:30):
I am very weak, you're shivering from the storm.

Speaker 31 (02:33:33):
You need warm food and dry clothing.

Speaker 30 (02:33:37):
Every far to go, not far.

Speaker 31 (02:33:40):
Across the point.

Speaker 14 (02:33:43):
What's change?

Speaker 6 (02:33:44):
It is tonight.

Speaker 31 (02:33:46):
All of a sudden, the storm is ended, and Paris
is the silence of a tomb. Here we turn this way.

Speaker 30 (02:33:56):
You are very kind.

Speaker 31 (02:33:57):
You need a friend and so to Why how careful?
These streets are very narrow. We do not touch the walls.

Speaker 15 (02:34:04):
They're covered with mold.

Speaker 31 (02:34:07):
Soon we'll reach the stairway leading to my apartment. Can
you walk a bit further?

Speaker 33 (02:34:12):
Osting me alone?

Speaker 31 (02:34:17):
Here, this is my place.

Speaker 15 (02:34:19):
I'll carry you up the stairs. Of course, you're very light.

Speaker 31 (02:34:26):
And you're very cold. You should not have stayed out
in the rain. Yeah, I'll put you down until I
find my cheek. Oh, yes, here is in a moment.
We shall have warmth, light and food.

Speaker 6 (02:34:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 31 (02:34:43):
Stand by the door until I light the lamp. Yeah,
there that's better. Now come in, please, I'll sit down
over here, and I will light.

Speaker 6 (02:34:58):
A fire over here.

Speaker 30 (02:35:04):
What is wrong?

Speaker 6 (02:35:06):
Why do you stay sit here?

Speaker 31 (02:35:10):
I I will have a fire going in no time.
Then I will fix your coffee.

Speaker 30 (02:35:19):
I do not know why you are so kind to me.

Speaker 31 (02:35:22):
You are alone and lost, and so am I.

Speaker 15 (02:35:28):
Yes, draw up closer to the fire.

Speaker 33 (02:35:30):
Now, why do you still stare at me so strangely?

Speaker 31 (02:35:36):
May I tell you that you are very beautiful? All
my life I've dreamed of someone just like you.

Speaker 30 (02:35:43):
I see this. If I have known you for a
long long time.

Speaker 14 (02:35:47):
You're safe.

Speaker 2 (02:35:48):
Now.

Speaker 31 (02:35:49):
You need fear no longer.

Speaker 30 (02:35:51):
It may be dangerous for.

Speaker 14 (02:35:52):
You to arbor me.

Speaker 30 (02:35:53):
I am an aristocrat.

Speaker 33 (02:35:55):
I'm supposed to be an enemy of the revolution.

Speaker 30 (02:35:58):
You may find yourself in prison for giving me.

Speaker 31 (02:36:01):
I'm not a Frenchman. They won't put me in prison,
but I am an aristocrat.

Speaker 3 (02:36:04):
Yes I know.

Speaker 31 (02:36:05):
I could tell, not only from your beauty, but the
black velvet band you are about your throat. It has
a diamond brooch of rare and crossper design.

Speaker 30 (02:36:16):
It is all I have left.

Speaker 14 (02:36:20):
Will you tell me your name?

Speaker 19 (02:36:22):
Marie?

Speaker 31 (02:36:23):
And I am young van Dirk Marie. I'll not let
them find you if they do.

Speaker 33 (02:36:29):
They will put me away where you will never see me.

Speaker 31 (02:36:31):
Against listen to me. I am earnest and sincere. All
of my life, I've been searching.

Speaker 2 (02:36:36):
For you, Marie.

Speaker 31 (02:36:38):
Will you marry me as the wife of another land
as they can't touch you?

Speaker 18 (02:36:42):
I love you.

Speaker 31 (02:36:43):
I want you to marry me.

Speaker 2 (02:36:44):
Marie.

Speaker 14 (02:36:46):
It is true.

Speaker 30 (02:36:47):
I do feel that we met a long time ago, and.

Speaker 31 (02:36:49):
So do I. I've dreamed of you, I've spoken with you,
I've looked into your eyes before.

Speaker 30 (02:36:56):
But it is all impossible.

Speaker 14 (02:36:58):
Say my name, Marie yon.

Speaker 30 (02:37:02):
Yon.

Speaker 14 (02:37:03):
It is not impossible.

Speaker 31 (02:37:05):
I want to marry you because I love you.

Speaker 30 (02:37:07):
Perhaps you will not.

Speaker 33 (02:37:08):
Want me to be your wife when I tell you
what happened.

Speaker 31 (02:37:12):
To me too, per I don't want to hear it.
Our lives began when I found you in the place
de la Greve. I am going out to get a
priest and will be married to Night now.

Speaker 33 (02:37:21):
But the clergy has been forbidden to practice the rights
of religion. Those who have not left Berry are.

Speaker 18 (02:37:27):
In hide now.

Speaker 31 (02:37:28):
But I have great news to tell you. My only
friend in the city is far the parish are. Some
time ago he confided in me, told me that he
is a priest I will go and find him.

Speaker 14 (02:37:37):
Now, marry Hian. You consent ou.

Speaker 30 (02:37:44):
For I love you.

Speaker 10 (02:37:47):
Yes.

Speaker 14 (02:37:48):
These two, one who had suffered untold horrors that day.

Speaker 15 (02:37:52):
And one revolted by the tragedies.

Speaker 31 (02:37:54):
All about him, met on a dark knight, met.

Speaker 14 (02:37:58):
And fathers they believe they known each other during some
other hour, met and fell in love. On sight, Jan
looked into Marie's soft brown eyes, gazed on the pale face,
and knew that she was the girl of his dream.
With her consent to marry him, Yan rushed out into
the dark night, now silent, foreboding, as if the black

(02:38:21):
skies were mourning for the death. Finally he arrived at
the door of father Perishar. He knocked, There was no answer.
He tried again. Then he saw a wisp of light
through the darkened door. Father Perishan, it is I Jan.

Speaker 2 (02:38:40):
Step inside, my boy.

Speaker 31 (02:38:41):
Quickly, Father father, I want you to come quickly.

Speaker 6 (02:38:46):
I found her.

Speaker 2 (02:38:47):
Found who man the girl of my dreams?

Speaker 31 (02:38:49):
I found her to night. I want you to come
and marry us now, Father, don't ask me any more questions.
Come with me now and marry us.

Speaker 15 (02:38:58):
It's over.

Speaker 14 (02:39:00):
We're married.

Speaker 15 (02:39:02):
It belonged to me.

Speaker 14 (02:39:03):
Now we.

Speaker 30 (02:39:05):
But is none as he permit me to stay.

Speaker 14 (02:39:09):
He whom do you mean death?

Speaker 30 (02:39:12):
If shadow is always offering over.

Speaker 31 (02:39:15):
Me, why do you keep speaking of death? You are
not going to die. We have years and years of life.

Speaker 14 (02:39:21):
And happiness ahead of us.

Speaker 31 (02:39:22):
I wish it were so, Oh, how I wish money.
Come to the window with me. Take one last look
at this view of Paris in the night time.

Speaker 6 (02:39:37):
For I'm going to take you out of.

Speaker 31 (02:39:38):
This city of death and terror, out into the country
where we can.

Speaker 14 (02:39:41):
Live in happiness and peace. If it could only be,
I'm going to make it so.

Speaker 31 (02:39:46):
To morrow morning, I'm going out into the country and
find a little villa, away from the blood and the hate,
out into the sunshine. Marie, it will purify us if
you could do that.

Speaker 14 (02:39:55):
You haven't.

Speaker 30 (02:39:56):
Perhaps, no, it would make no difference. The angel of
death is wait.

Speaker 31 (02:40:05):
You must not talk, so I will find the villa.

Speaker 14 (02:40:09):
Marie smiled wistfully. Somehow it gave Yan the hope that
she would some day forget all the horrors and sorrow
which now held her in their grip. I sat at
the window, looking out over the sleeping city. I sat
silent till the gray of dawn came into the sky
until a rosy haze was over the east. It was
then that Marie's fears came back twofold. She was alarmed,

(02:40:32):
quickly agitated.

Speaker 33 (02:40:33):
Jan, if you are going into the country, go now,
Go now.

Speaker 31 (02:40:37):
I will wait until the sun comes.

Speaker 28 (02:40:38):
No, it will be too late, too late.

Speaker 31 (02:40:40):
I can you go now? At want really wish it?

Speaker 14 (02:40:45):
What do you fear?

Speaker 18 (02:40:46):
You know they will find me and.

Speaker 31 (02:40:48):
They cannot harm you, for you are madame Yon van
Derk another ladd Yon.

Speaker 15 (02:40:54):
All right, my darling, I will go now.

Speaker 6 (02:40:57):
For the sooner I go.

Speaker 31 (02:40:58):
The sooner we will be away from all this. You
will be here when I return, you promise, I promise.
Then I will start at once. By nightfall of this day,
we will be away from here, you and me, starting
a new life in the world of peace, Marie, You
and I in the world.

Speaker 15 (02:41:18):
Jean left.

Speaker 14 (02:41:19):
He walked out into the country. He had no trouble,
finding a charming place, a little house set in a
lovely garden, the whole property surrounded by a high wall.
Jean knew that here Marie.

Speaker 31 (02:41:30):
Would forget and be happy again.

Speaker 14 (02:41:33):
He rushed back to Paris as fast as he could,
and up to the little apartment.

Speaker 59 (02:41:37):
Mary Mary threw open the door.

Speaker 41 (02:41:41):
Yes, she kept a word.

Speaker 14 (02:41:43):
She was there waiting for it. Exhausted from the tragedies
of the day before. She was lying across the bed,
head hanging over the edge, one arm thrown.

Speaker 6 (02:41:51):
Over her face.

Speaker 31 (02:41:52):
Mary, I found it. I found the most beautiful place
you ever saw, a place far from this city of unhappiness.

Speaker 2 (02:41:59):
Her place.

Speaker 31 (02:42:00):
It will be heaven for us.

Speaker 14 (02:42:01):
Both.

Speaker 31 (02:42:01):
Wait until you see it, Wait till we Marie, Marie,
she doesn't move, she's not breathing.

Speaker 2 (02:42:12):
Her hand is cold.

Speaker 22 (02:42:15):
No post, no pouse, Marie.

Speaker 2 (02:42:21):
She said she did.

Speaker 69 (02:42:26):
Help, she said, she said, Marie.

Speaker 49 (02:42:30):
She said, Now.

Speaker 13 (02:42:42):
They have found. While Yon has been away, they have
killed there. Who has done this thing?

Speaker 40 (02:42:50):
Will Yon find out?

Speaker 13 (02:42:54):
The hermit will tell you before the night is done.

Speaker 36 (02:43:03):
And now the hermit again.

Speaker 13 (02:43:14):
And now he who tells us the strangest story is
ever heard, goes on, tells us of what he falls
Yon fan deck after he finds marie Le's death.

Speaker 14 (02:43:33):
Horrified and frantic, the young boy runs out of the
apartment down the stairs, babbling to himself, crying out in
grief and terror, calling for help, and then an officer
stopped him.

Speaker 6 (02:43:43):
Here, what is the matter with you. She's dead. She's dead.

Speaker 31 (02:43:46):
I went to the country. I came home and found
her dead.

Speaker 19 (02:43:49):
My wife, she's up in her apartment.

Speaker 43 (02:43:50):
Come come, I will show you.

Speaker 15 (02:43:54):
You are not a Frenchman.

Speaker 14 (02:43:55):
No, my wife.

Speaker 15 (02:43:57):
Someone has killed her, old of yourself. Death is a
common thing.

Speaker 6 (02:44:00):
He said.

Speaker 31 (02:44:01):
But to Marie, they had no right to do it.
To Marie, we will investigate over here on the bed.
I found her here, m.

Speaker 6 (02:44:13):
She's dead. All right.

Speaker 40 (02:44:15):
You say you left her alive and then found her
like this when you come back from the country.

Speaker 31 (02:44:20):
Are you sure you did not give up?

Speaker 19 (02:44:22):
No, No, I loved her.

Speaker 15 (02:44:24):
I loved her more than anything in the world.

Speaker 6 (02:44:26):
Let me get a good look at her. What is it, officer?

Speaker 14 (02:44:33):
What does it matter?

Speaker 15 (02:44:34):
How long have you known this woman?

Speaker 31 (02:44:36):
I met her last night, but I've known her forever.
I met her last night.

Speaker 2 (02:44:40):
We were married a few hours later.

Speaker 40 (02:44:42):
You were married last night here, not a week ago,
not two days ago, but last night. Yes, yes, Sit
down in this chair. You are half crazed. Sit down
and let me talk.

Speaker 7 (02:44:55):
Now.

Speaker 40 (02:44:56):
Listen, listen carefully. I saw this woman yesterday and hear sunset.

Speaker 14 (02:45:02):
I know who she is.

Speaker 31 (02:45:04):
She is the one I love she's gone forever.

Speaker 14 (02:45:06):
Listen.

Speaker 15 (02:45:08):
I was statient near the plaster, the girl.

Speaker 6 (02:45:10):
You saw as I did.

Speaker 41 (02:45:12):
I will tell this story if you will listen. Down
the street his sunset came the howling mob, crying for blood,
intent on the kill, and down the street can be

(02:45:34):
comb carrying it dicks, aristocrats whose time has come, the
family of La Sarvan, and the crowds following them.

Speaker 6 (02:46:00):
Umbrella to near the square.

Speaker 43 (02:46:02):
A cloud cried out in pure and be cut stop,
thank tank meeper.

Speaker 67 (02:46:23):
I am afraid of nothing.

Speaker 28 (02:46:26):
Do not fear Mary, You do not fear Phillips, my son.

Speaker 67 (02:46:32):
Have your eyes up word, look at thesguise and believe
in God.

Speaker 17 (02:46:38):
We have no one, We have done no wrong.

Speaker 18 (02:46:42):
We have never still blood, we have never rated.

Speaker 67 (02:46:48):
Your your eyes, look you to look into the ants
of the setting sun. Away.

Speaker 30 (02:47:02):
I am ready.

Speaker 40 (02:47:17):
One by one, the family of Monsieur Lefarin walked up
to the guillotine, first Madame, then the boys, and then Monsieur,

(02:47:42):
and then the doctor. She stood there, her head held high,
her eyes on the sun now almost gone. The card
was silent for a minute.

Speaker 14 (02:47:54):
She seemed to frighten them.

Speaker 42 (02:47:57):
There was a pause, and then, what are you trying
to make me believe.

Speaker 40 (02:48:13):
I am telling you they too. I stood at the
foot of the scaffold yesterday when this woman in your
rooms was guilt.

Speaker 2 (02:48:19):
No, she was alive when I left early this morning,
when I went to the country late last night, we
were married.

Speaker 31 (02:48:24):
I can prove it.

Speaker 40 (02:48:25):
Look, let me show you. You see this black band
around the thought. If I remove it, she.

Speaker 10 (02:48:35):
If I did not old the read, it was all
to the floor.

Speaker 6 (02:48:40):
Now do you believe?

Speaker 14 (02:48:42):
Do you believe?

Speaker 6 (02:48:43):
No?

Speaker 41 (02:48:45):
No, A fit of hysteria overcame here. It was the
beginning of an hysteria that dragged him in the mad
He spent the rest.

Speaker 14 (02:49:01):
Of his days in an asylum. The authorities never believed
Yan's story.

Speaker 41 (02:49:07):
He said he had dragged a corpse into his room
and in his madness, believed that she was a living person.

Speaker 14 (02:49:12):
But to the day he died, Jan insisted that his
story was the truth, and Father Peyshon, he wrote in
his journal.

Speaker 41 (02:49:20):
He too said the girl had been alive on the
night after the storm. He said the date of their marriage,
but it didn't tally with the hour and date of
her execution, so no one believed. But as time goes on,
the story has been told.

Speaker 14 (02:49:38):
And retold in our family. I've often wondered if it
were not true. After all, of course, Jan was a
relative of mine, and he went insane, So you may
think I too in touch with madness. But it is
the strangest story I have even known.

Speaker 13 (02:50:36):
The black band was around Marie's throat for a purpose.

Speaker 20 (02:50:40):
Thing.

Speaker 13 (02:50:44):
We who have studied the supernatural, we who have delved
into the unknown, we know that in this life of
ours a curse, strange things that no mind can comprehend.

Speaker 14 (02:51:00):
Okay, yes, turn on your man.

Speaker 13 (02:51:03):
And among pleasant dreams.

Speaker 70 (02:51:20):
All characters, places, and occurrences mentioned in the Hermit's Cave
are fictitious and similarity to a person's places or occurrences.

Speaker 36 (02:51:27):
It's purely accidental.

Speaker 6 (02:51:51):
Mystery is my hobby. Today's story took place last fall.

Speaker 20 (02:52:06):
I was retired earlier after spending an evening with Inspector
Noahdatton at the Las Lighters Club. It must have been
about three o'clock in the morning when my telephone began
to ring.

Speaker 6 (02:52:16):
M last telephone probably inspected Hello, Hello, is this fun Drake? Yes,
this is Drake. Who's calling? Well, this is Guy Walds.
Can you come out to one four six? West Chestnut Fleet.

Speaker 20 (02:52:34):
By the way, there's been a murder.

Speaker 76 (02:52:35):
There's been a murder. Why haven't you called the police?
I wish people would realize its murdered. Which all three
o'clock in the morning. What did you say, there's a
Stellar Dix.

Speaker 20 (02:52:45):
Under the circumstances, you can probably understand why we haven't
called the Policemanter Drake.

Speaker 6 (02:52:49):
Yes, yes, of course. What did you say about address
was one four six Chestnuts.

Speaker 76 (02:52:55):
Very well, I'll be there within a half hour. Well,
absolutely no one that this has happened.

Speaker 20 (02:53:07):
So and you told this guy Wallace to tell nobody
that Sellaffis had been murdered, and then you wake me up.

Speaker 12 (02:53:14):
To tell me.

Speaker 18 (02:53:15):
Is that right by?

Speaker 21 (02:53:16):
Yes, that's right.

Speaker 6 (02:53:16):
Inspector, you see you are a policeman.

Speaker 20 (02:53:19):
Yeah, yeah, but I thought guy Wallace didn't want to
cast in on the day.

Speaker 6 (02:53:22):
He didn't inspect her. However, when a murder has been committed, it's.

Speaker 20 (02:53:25):
Necessary to have an officer around and you men can
be tried to see the inspector Stella Dix has actually
been murdered.

Speaker 6 (02:53:34):
It's going to make a.

Speaker 20 (02:53:35):
Profound influence on how the voters cast their.

Speaker 6 (02:53:36):
Ballots next week.

Speaker 20 (02:53:37):
Yeah, I spose You're right. This is the first time
that the woman has come close to being elected to
the United States Senate.

Speaker 6 (02:53:42):
In estate, it's important to know how she died. Was
responsible for her death before the voting starts.

Speaker 20 (02:53:48):
You mean you think her apporment might have killed him.

Speaker 6 (02:53:50):
Oh no, no, Inspector, not death.

Speaker 20 (02:53:51):
But suppose at the last moment missus Dicks had decided
to change her stand on the Interstate Commerce bill.

Speaker 6 (02:53:57):
Suppose someone who would be personally affected by that change
of attitude.

Speaker 20 (02:54:01):
Decided to do something about it, like knocking her off
before the old girl's decision was made known to the present.

Speaker 6 (02:54:08):
Exactly, Inspector Sella.

Speaker 20 (02:54:09):
Dix's rather was one of the most brilliant personalities of
our day. Inspector, he had a large following, people who
believe in her, and a switch in policy on her
part were gone the way saying.

Speaker 6 (02:54:21):
That's one way of putting it, Inspector.

Speaker 20 (02:54:23):
Okay, Now where did this murder take place?

Speaker 6 (02:54:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 20 (02:54:26):
Guy Waters asked me to come to one four six Testmtleet.
That's a Dix home. Uh isn't Guy Waters Stella Dix's
campaign manager then? And isn't he president of the Waters
trucking company.

Speaker 6 (02:54:37):
Yes, I think he is.

Speaker 20 (02:54:39):
Well.

Speaker 76 (02:54:39):
Then so Walter's murderer because Stella decided to change her policy,
thereby affecting his trucking business.

Speaker 6 (02:54:47):
Wals A Border yes, says it would.

Speaker 20 (02:54:49):
Be infector if Sella had decided to change her policy.

Speaker 6 (02:54:53):
This is the house, I think, yeah, one four six.

Speaker 20 (02:54:56):
Well, let's go up and start the old routine. Shall
I ring the bell?

Speaker 6 (02:55:01):
An? Here we go busting? Well, I think it would
be polite. Well, you're button Drake.

Speaker 20 (02:55:07):
We've been waiting for you.

Speaker 6 (02:55:09):
I'm Vanel at the gage. You have someone with you? Yes,
this is inspector noahda in mis gauge.

Speaker 20 (02:55:13):
Hi, but please yes, I know mister Waters preferred that
the police were not to be notified.

Speaker 49 (02:55:17):
However, I'm sure the presence of inspector that will be
a help to watch.

Speaker 20 (02:55:21):
Come in.

Speaker 6 (02:55:21):
Please, thank you, miss Gage, and you are stellar. Dix's
secretary Hans, Yes, I was.

Speaker 49 (02:55:29):
Guy called me directly after it happened, and I came
over immediately.

Speaker 20 (02:55:33):
Well when did it happen and where and why? I
can answer your first.

Speaker 49 (02:55:37):
Two questions inspected that, but I'm afraid that Oh here
comes guy now.

Speaker 20 (02:55:41):
He can tell you.

Speaker 6 (02:55:44):
Oh gentlemen.

Speaker 20 (02:55:45):
Never mind bought, I'll tell him. I'm tired of being
apologized for the name is Stanton, Inspector Noah Danton.

Speaker 6 (02:55:52):
Oh, yes, of course, Dan, I've heard of you.

Speaker 20 (02:55:53):
Your name is frequently mentioned in connection with Direc's work. Yeah, Drake,
I appreciate you being willing to make an investigation before
noticing the police.

Speaker 31 (02:56:00):
You see.

Speaker 20 (02:56:00):
I wait a minute, Junr, you got your wires caused
I'm the police.

Speaker 6 (02:56:05):
Huh oh wife? Yeah, well then I imagine Penny's given
you all the the tails. No, I haven't.

Speaker 49 (02:56:11):
I thought you'd be better at that guy.

Speaker 6 (02:56:12):
Huh. Well, well, it was like this.

Speaker 20 (02:56:15):
Stella came over to my house tonight to discuss the campaign.
Penny was also there and Otto's Stella Simon.

Speaker 6 (02:56:21):
You for were the only one's cousin.

Speaker 20 (02:56:23):
Yes, we broke up about two am, Stella and out
of the side of the walk home.

Speaker 6 (02:56:28):
It's only a few blocks.

Speaker 20 (02:56:30):
About three quarters of an hour later, Otto called and
asked me to come over. I couldn't understand him very well,
but I came. Nevertheless, Yes, what did your time? Stella
was dead. He'd been beaten to death with a hammer,
wrapped in a newspaper. Otto was wounded that had crawled
into the house bound a towler on his head and
called me. Then the murder took place outside, behove, Yes,

(02:56:50):
just as they turned up the walk in the street.

Speaker 6 (02:56:53):
Apparently of the murderer or murderers had.

Speaker 20 (02:56:55):
Been waiting behind the shrubbery that grows there. I didn't
see any shrubbering, and you should go out and look again.

Speaker 6 (02:57:00):
Huh.

Speaker 20 (02:57:01):
I was upstairs in his room, Drake. I suppose you'd
like to hear the story from him firsthand. Yeah, and
we'd like to ask you what decisions Stella Dix came
to tonight at your house forgotting the either State Commerce
busness in good time, Inspector Drake, I have the hammer
in the newspaper in which it was wrapped in the
next room. I'm good I found them lying beside the body, procab.
But you like to example, yes, I would.

Speaker 6 (02:57:23):
Did you find anything else?

Speaker 7 (02:57:24):
No, that's all?

Speaker 6 (02:57:25):
How about the body?

Speaker 2 (02:57:26):
What is it?

Speaker 7 (02:57:27):
Upstairs?

Speaker 6 (02:57:27):
I carried Sella to a room.

Speaker 20 (02:57:29):
You mean you moved the body without a coroner? Naturally
I couldn't just leave her out there on the street, Oh, Penny,
if I have odmitted anything.

Speaker 49 (02:57:36):
Nothing except if you murdered Stella?

Speaker 6 (02:57:39):
What was that you murdered her?

Speaker 49 (02:57:40):
Guys, it's silly to deny it. You were the only
one who had a motive, you know.

Speaker 6 (02:58:00):
What, I holp to hope, No, what's that?

Speaker 20 (02:58:02):
It's I hope it as Wallace who committed them to
Why I don't like booll com com inspect All right,
what's that you guys?

Speaker 6 (02:58:10):
It's the murder hammer, Inspector.

Speaker 76 (02:58:12):
In If it weren't for the fact that the hammer
was broken and held together with picture wire, I'd say
that Missus Dixon's murderer was a homicidal maniac. It would
why because most hammer murderers are committed by maniacs, Inspectrum,
and in practicularly the case.

Speaker 6 (02:58:27):
The weapons had been nice new hammers.

Speaker 20 (02:58:29):
You're right now, why do you figures a killer wrapped
his hammer in that newspaper? And why do you figure
he left the hammer as the seat of the clients man.

Speaker 76 (02:58:37):
He probably left the hammer there, so we would think
the killer was a homicidal maniac, and he probably wrapped
the hammer in the newspaper.

Speaker 6 (02:58:43):
So there wouldn't be any fingerprints, Inspector.

Speaker 20 (02:58:45):
But we think otherwise, eh, we know that there will
be fingerprints on the newspapers.

Speaker 76 (02:58:51):
Then we I'm afraid, Inspector, we're going to sign that
the killers prints aren't on this newspaper.

Speaker 20 (02:58:56):
Okay, well, what do you know the outside the page
has been too off. Yeah, and that's the page on
which the killer's fingerprints would have been. Inspector, I think
we've really stuck into one this time.

Speaker 6 (02:59:08):
Come on, let's go upstairs and have a talk with
Authold Dick.

Speaker 77 (02:59:19):
And that's not all I can tell you, gentlemen. It's
still and I approached the how someone jumped on us
from behind. I was immediately knocked unconscious. When I regained
my senses, fella was flying beside me on the sidewalk.

Speaker 6 (02:59:34):
Did you know she was dead at the time, mister Dixon.

Speaker 16 (02:59:35):
No, you know.

Speaker 6 (02:59:37):
I spoke to her, but she didn't answer.

Speaker 77 (02:59:38):
She's a fairly large woman, and I knew I couldn't
move her, especially in my weakened condition.

Speaker 20 (02:59:44):
So you called into the house and got to a telephone.

Speaker 6 (02:59:47):
That's right, Inspector Daniel.

Speaker 76 (02:59:48):
Shouldn't you have called a doctor see yourself, mister Dix said,
room looks pretty bad.

Speaker 20 (02:59:52):
No, no, I'm getting along time. Please don't call her doctor.
I want to dreg you must know what this will
mean if the new gets out. We both know, but
then yours has got to get out sometimes.

Speaker 6 (03:00:03):
Oh yeah, shares of course.

Speaker 77 (03:00:05):
But I was hoping that mister Drake could apprehend the
murderer before the story reached the papers. You see, if
the man I suspect is guilty, it'll well, it.

Speaker 6 (03:00:14):
Will make a great deal of difference.

Speaker 20 (03:00:16):
So and who do you suspects, mister Dicks, Terence Adams, Adams?
It was supporment for the senatorial to.

Speaker 77 (03:00:25):
Yes, yes, oh I don't imagine that Adams.

Speaker 2 (03:00:28):
Attacked us personally.

Speaker 77 (03:00:29):
But if it were prove him that he'd hired some thug,
well you can understand what it means.

Speaker 76 (03:00:35):
Yes, if Adams is responsible for your wife's murder, I
hardly think he would get many votes exactly.

Speaker 77 (03:00:42):
On the other hand, if Terrence is innocent, I shouldn't
want to hurt his campaign.

Speaker 20 (03:00:48):
Mister Dix, tell me, did you have discuss with you
the possibility of changing her views on the interstate commers?
Still briefly, yes, I urged her to maintain her original stand,
but I doubt if my argument head much effect. Seeing
what was the nature of your argument, mister Dicks.

Speaker 77 (03:01:05):
Ain't you why? I just reasoned it was rather late
in her campaign to make such a draft. E stamper
that form had been to find me atami.

Speaker 6 (03:01:16):
See if missus.

Speaker 20 (03:01:18):
Dix had decided to take your advice, how would that
have benefited.

Speaker 6 (03:01:22):
You, mister Dicks, benefit me? I beg your pardon.

Speaker 76 (03:01:25):
I understand that you, in turn Sadam were one time partners.
You owned and operated a road construction business. I was
thinking that possibly a coastal trucks.

Speaker 6 (03:01:34):
Ridiculous.

Speaker 77 (03:01:35):
I don't know where you got your information, Drake, but
well it's entirely incorrect. I've been retired from active business
for several years.

Speaker 20 (03:01:44):
I see, I beg your pardon, said thank you. I
didn't know that, mister Dix. I'm a long inspector. Yeah,
I think we better step across.

Speaker 6 (03:01:51):
The hall and have a look at the body and
missus Dick.

Speaker 20 (03:01:53):
If you gentlemen will excuse me, I'd like to lie.

Speaker 6 (03:01:57):
Down, definitely, mister Dick, get the rest with see you later. Well,
she is, I wish that Wallace Mark hadn't moved her.

Speaker 20 (03:02:06):
Yeah, why why it's against the law for one thing, Inspector.
She's pretty severely beaten. Have you any other reasons, inspected, Sure,
I have other reasons. The position of the body, the
condition of the body. Oh, there are a hundred reasons.

Speaker 6 (03:02:22):
And you know she's quite a right inspector.

Speaker 76 (03:02:25):
Missus Dix was a handsome woman, wasn't so sure? Everybody
knows that's one reason.

Speaker 20 (03:02:29):
She had a chance of winning the election.

Speaker 76 (03:02:31):
You know, I had mere intelligent women would have the
good sense not to neglect their looks. Especially look at
that now, except for the wounds.

Speaker 6 (03:02:38):
About her head, missus Dix is perfectly groomed at Oh. Hello, ordered,
we're just about to do looking for you.

Speaker 20 (03:02:47):
I hope that poor woman said there has made her
suspicious about me. We're suspicious if everyone junior? Now, where
is the full woman?

Speaker 6 (03:02:55):
By the way, I stuned at home? And at home?

Speaker 20 (03:02:56):
What's the matter when you're scared? She tells some more
stories on you scared as hardly the wood inspector.

Speaker 6 (03:03:01):
I think, annoy, it'll be more suitable.

Speaker 20 (03:03:04):
So then you did figure she had some more of
the town. I figure she tells some more. Wh does
she know anything or not? And if Gates thought a
chance to put me in a bad life and she
grabbed it, why would she want to put you in
a bad light. Waters, Well, we sell them agreed on anything.
As Missus Dick's secretary, she wanted to run the entire campaign,
said she is the women's new point. Do women have
a few points?

Speaker 6 (03:03:23):
Well, we'll talk to miss Gage again in the morning.
In the meantime, Waters, I'd.

Speaker 76 (03:03:26):
Like to have you show Inspector Datton and me exactly
where you found the body of missus Dick.

Speaker 6 (03:03:34):
Get out your fast flight, Inspector. Yeah, well is this
the placewater? Yes? She was lying right there with her
head at the edge of the curving.

Speaker 20 (03:03:43):
Mmmm. And where was the hammer right there beside her?
The newstaper was hundred or the newspaper was under it?
I guess does that prove anything?

Speaker 6 (03:03:50):
I don't know. It might.

Speaker 76 (03:03:51):
Well, there's plenty of blood stains, footprints could have been
made by anyone walking.

Speaker 6 (03:03:55):
By and find anything, Drake.

Speaker 76 (03:03:58):
Yes, these fine particles of glass, look at so they
might come from the crystal of the wrist watch.

Speaker 7 (03:04:04):
Hey, that's right.

Speaker 20 (03:04:05):
Otto's watch is broken when he fell.

Speaker 6 (03:04:08):
He showed it to me himself.

Speaker 20 (03:04:09):
He didn't, well, Waters, did Missus Dix mention that Terrence
Adams had called on her recently? Yes, as a matter
of fact, she did. He was here yesterday, glad to
get her to change his mind on the Interstate Commerce bill.

Speaker 6 (03:04:22):
Do't thank you very much.

Speaker 76 (03:04:23):
Come along, inspector, and huh, we're going to wake up
Terrence Adams out of a sound sleep. If a man
who has a guilty conscience can sleep soundly.

Speaker 20 (03:04:37):
Oh, gound of bot.

Speaker 6 (03:04:38):
I don't get this.

Speaker 20 (03:04:39):
We drive around the block, pack the car, and then
start walking.

Speaker 6 (03:04:41):
What's the item?

Speaker 76 (03:04:42):
Oh this might not be a good idea, Terrance sector,
but can you read the number in that house up there?

Speaker 20 (03:04:47):
Wait a manue, I get up my flash.

Speaker 6 (03:04:48):
I don't know that man, don't I think this must
be it must be what? Yeah, there's a number of
above the bear, all three eighth to one. That's where
he lives.

Speaker 20 (03:04:56):
Oh, Terrence Adams, you're crazy. He lives way over the
other side.

Speaker 6 (03:04:59):
And I'm talking about guy Walter's inspector. This is where
he lives. Do you be discoverers and keys for sure,
but without a warrant. I don't like to use him now,
loud man, let me try the door first.

Speaker 14 (03:05:11):
Kind of it opens?

Speaker 6 (03:05:13):
Walter's probably left us at a hurry. He neglected to
lock it close.

Speaker 20 (03:05:16):
The door, Inspector, Now you can get out your flesh. Okay,
suppose he's got a wife.

Speaker 6 (03:05:23):
Suppose it's a house full of servants.

Speaker 19 (03:05:25):
I'd be like a thief.

Speaker 63 (03:05:26):
You're going to be as deep in just about one minute, Inspector,
huh do you light around?

Speaker 14 (03:05:31):
All?

Speaker 20 (03:05:31):
Okay, it's like an ordinary hall of me.

Speaker 6 (03:05:35):
What do you expect to find?

Speaker 63 (03:05:37):
That door over there probably leads to water study. Come on,
let be careful, don't trip over the round. I don't
worry about me trip. And I'm not sure the boat
is quiet?

Speaker 6 (03:05:46):
Right?

Speaker 18 (03:05:46):
All right?

Speaker 20 (03:05:47):
People on a No better, it's out the door.

Speaker 6 (03:05:54):
If you light around, Inspector, Yeah, there is.

Speaker 20 (03:05:59):
It's miss Gayever, she won't get away, all right, ladies, please,

(03:06:19):
I'm not trying to get away.

Speaker 49 (03:06:21):
You're fighting her a matter of fact.

Speaker 20 (03:06:23):
Now I wonder why ancpose you're gonna tell that you'll
live here?

Speaker 2 (03:06:26):
No?

Speaker 6 (03:06:26):
I don't, do you do?

Speaker 20 (03:06:28):
I are you kidding?

Speaker 49 (03:06:29):
What are you doing here? Have you a search one?
If so, why did you come speaking in? Did mister
Waters give you permissioner in his house?

Speaker 6 (03:06:35):
No?

Speaker 49 (03:06:35):
But I think we're in the same boat, Inspector. Dad's
suppose we compromise.

Speaker 6 (03:06:41):
Compromise.

Speaker 7 (03:06:41):
Look bad.

Speaker 20 (03:06:42):
Why don't you say something?

Speaker 49 (03:06:43):
Man?

Speaker 6 (03:06:44):
So the ladies questions, speechless inspective.

Speaker 20 (03:06:46):
That's however, I think we'd be smart to listen to
miss Gages compromise. It's a good idea, a very good idea.
All right, lady, what's the compromise?

Speaker 49 (03:06:55):
You came here looking for evidence that would convict Guy
Walter's Ofmttering Stella Dicks?

Speaker 31 (03:07:00):
So did I?

Speaker 6 (03:07:00):
Well, I found it.

Speaker 49 (03:07:02):
I'll be glad to turn it over to you, but
I don't want my name using connection with your investigation.

Speaker 20 (03:07:06):
We don't make deals, mis Gage. Just give us the evidence,
mister dream never mind him. Right now, let's see what
you've got very well here? Well now, picture wire.

Speaker 49 (03:07:16):
Yes, I think you'll find that it is the same
as was used to bind up the handle of the
hammer that was on beside Stella's body.

Speaker 6 (03:07:22):
Ooh, well, but.

Speaker 20 (03:07:23):
Said a lady smart and yes, this sort of clinches things,
doesn't it.

Speaker 6 (03:07:27):
No, hardly inspector, huh, miss Gage.

Speaker 20 (03:07:29):
A moment ago you said we came here looking for
evidence that was the dict Guy Walter's.

Speaker 6 (03:07:34):
That's not true. We came here looking for evidence. Period.

Speaker 31 (03:07:36):
Doesn't disprove it?

Speaker 6 (03:07:37):
Oh, that doesn't prove anything. What made you think a
corail of.

Speaker 20 (03:07:40):
Picture where I would be lying in Walter's desk door anyway,
I saw him.

Speaker 31 (03:07:44):
Put it there, we did.

Speaker 49 (03:07:45):
It was wrong on top of his desk.

Speaker 31 (03:07:47):
When we came in to night.

Speaker 6 (03:07:48):
I watched him thrust it into a drawer.

Speaker 49 (03:07:50):
I didn't take anything of it at the time.

Speaker 6 (03:07:53):
That's nothing.

Speaker 76 (03:07:54):
The man who had used picture ware to bind up
a hammer that he planned to used to kill someone
wouldn't leave the damning bit of evidence lying around.

Speaker 20 (03:08:01):
Time to think of that.

Speaker 6 (03:08:02):
That's fine, right in spectmist Gage.

Speaker 20 (03:08:04):
Would you mind telling me why you're so anxious to
find this murder on the guy walk.

Speaker 49 (03:08:08):
I'm not I'm just trying to do what I think
is right. It's important that the murderer be apprehended before
the story gets to the newspaper.

Speaker 76 (03:08:15):
Even though the murderer is yourself mistaged. Whatever you say,
I'm saying, mis Gage, that you have a motive, and
a good one.

Speaker 6 (03:08:22):
I have a motive. Yes, if Sellate Dicks.

Speaker 20 (03:08:24):
Were successful in the forthcoming election, you would continue if
the secretary wouldn't you?

Speaker 6 (03:08:28):
Why? Yes, being a secretary of your US senator is
an important position, Miss Gauge.

Speaker 20 (03:08:33):
If missus Dick's changed the policy regarding the Interstate Commerce Bill.
The chances are she would be defeated at the polls.
In that event, you would, of course find yourself out
of a job.

Speaker 49 (03:08:42):
Well, the idea are you in trying?

Speaker 14 (03:08:44):
That?

Speaker 76 (03:08:44):
I would possibility the inspection I can afford to overlook,
miss Gauge.

Speaker 6 (03:08:48):
May I suggest that you return to the Dick's home.

Speaker 76 (03:08:50):
We'll join you there in about an hour, right, if
you don't mind, we'd prefer that you discontinue going about
looking for evidence that will convict someone else. At best,
you'd probably destroy clues that would the inspected myself.

Speaker 20 (03:09:01):
Well, you certainly get your nerves.

Speaker 6 (03:09:04):
Take the picture, were inspector, and let's get going.

Speaker 20 (03:09:16):
Sure, sure there was a nice brush off you gave
the babe, but how better? But she didn't swallow that
routine about us perspecting her because she lose a job. No,
I not inspect her because she did murders tell addicts
like you invined.

Speaker 76 (03:09:29):
Kild be out of a job anyhow, Inspector, however, somebody
had to say something you want to do too?

Speaker 6 (03:09:34):
Well, yeah, yeah, I suppose.

Speaker 20 (03:09:37):
You expect to find her at the dits house and
we get there yes, definitely. And I suppose you told
me to bring along the picture wire because your figure
it's the same as was that throughout the hammer handle,
and you didn't want mistakes.

Speaker 76 (03:09:49):
Selling inspecting you're anticipating, yeah, and anticipated.

Speaker 20 (03:09:55):
Now I've got about a little papers. That's all that
spect if you don't, Nickel and I got oh sure, sure, Jesse, say,
haven't you got any.

Speaker 6 (03:10:04):
Thanks, Inspector, here we are. Let's see.

Speaker 20 (03:10:07):
Now what are you looking for on account of Stellar
Dis's murders?

Speaker 76 (03:10:10):
A right, look the newspaper's acrophos Well it's there, no, no, no,
But here in the mast head it says that this
particular paper reached the newsstand at two fifteen in the morning.

Speaker 20 (03:10:20):
Well, well, the newspaper in which the murder weapon was
wrapped was an.

Speaker 6 (03:10:24):
Early edition of the same papers.

Speaker 20 (03:10:26):
My my, So now we know that the murderer boller
paper at this stand, wrapped his hammer in it and
shut stella on Thenogaine, So what so now we know.

Speaker 6 (03:10:35):
Who murdered Stellar Dicks, don't inspective? Oh hello, mister Dray,
Uh you mean's ahead, mister Dicks.

Speaker 31 (03:10:54):
That's coming along nicely. Have you talked to Torres Heaven?

Speaker 6 (03:10:58):
No, no, we went it wasn't necessary.

Speaker 77 (03:11:01):
Not necessary. Well, then that must mean you believe him innocent. Oh,
I'm grand to hear it. Arresting Terence who has created.

Speaker 2 (03:11:08):
No end of his candle.

Speaker 6 (03:11:09):
Yes, just it would. We've just returned to the house
of guy Waters.

Speaker 20 (03:11:15):
Good heaven, you don't think why didn't I.

Speaker 6 (03:11:17):
Now inspected that and be here in a moment with
some evidence that we found.

Speaker 20 (03:11:20):
As a matter of fact, Well here he is our
command inspector. Hey, yeah, but I found these two in
a huddle in the den. At first they didn't want
to come along, but I got time of this way.
They made you threaten us with a gun. I see
here Drake Penny tells me you too have been searching
my house, that she was.

Speaker 6 (03:11:37):
Searching it tube.

Speaker 20 (03:11:37):
Of course I did.

Speaker 49 (03:11:38):
I explained that I was looking for some evidence that
would help solve the murder.

Speaker 20 (03:11:41):
Yeah, but did you tell him that you bring the vector?

Speaker 6 (03:11:44):
Did you bring the picture wire?

Speaker 18 (03:11:46):
Are you?

Speaker 37 (03:11:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 31 (03:11:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:11:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (03:11:47):
Here it is in the hammerscha sector Waters.

Speaker 6 (03:11:50):
We found this picture wire in a drawer of the
desk of your study.

Speaker 20 (03:11:53):
We've compared it to the wire that was used to
bind up the hammer handle of all the idiotic nonsense.

Speaker 6 (03:11:58):
That picture.

Speaker 20 (03:11:59):
I was lying on my desk, but I was hanging
in sexture this afterdom. Oh, that's a simple explanation, isn't.

Speaker 6 (03:12:03):
It, Surry Waters, you didn't let me finish.

Speaker 20 (03:12:05):
I sudden we compared the two wires and found that
they were of an entirely different texture. That's tirely dismis secture.
That's why are you accusing me of murdering jellos?

Speaker 16 (03:12:14):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (03:12:14):
Did we?

Speaker 6 (03:12:15):
What's the matter? Something wrong with skates and it's.

Speaker 20 (03:12:18):
He seems so fated. I'm all right, Yes, he's probably
weak from rosster. What yes, miss Gage, suppose you look
at that wound since mister Dexter, which uses to see
a doctor? No, No, I'm I'm all right, I'm I'm
all right.

Speaker 6 (03:12:32):
I tell him, yes, And I still think you ought
to change that bandage, do you, I, mis Gage?

Speaker 20 (03:12:36):
No, I'd get away from me.

Speaker 31 (03:12:38):
I don't want the many changed.

Speaker 6 (03:12:39):
I'm mister Dixon and said, I don't care whether you
want to such or not. I'm not going to put it.

Speaker 20 (03:12:43):
Keep away from me?

Speaker 2 (03:12:43):
Dry food?

Speaker 6 (03:12:44):
Still catch you?

Speaker 20 (03:12:45):
Help you take your hands on? Well, he hasn't wounded
at all. There isn't even a sign of a wound model.
That's that was a leading of this.

Speaker 6 (03:12:56):
The meaning is quite obvious. Water Dix wasn't attacked by.

Speaker 20 (03:12:59):
His wife murderer because he is a murderer himself, a
restament stucker. Hey boss, get your nose having that newspaper

(03:13:22):
and it's played chess. What's the dog guy?

Speaker 6 (03:13:25):
Interesting?

Speaker 76 (03:13:26):
Anyhow, I was just reading the statement of Stellar Dick's
made to the newspapers last night before she attended the
meeting at Guy Walters What's a Science. It says she
definitely did not claim to change your policy on the
Interstate Commerce bill. So you see, there was no point
in being so secretive about an investigation after.

Speaker 20 (03:13:44):
And there's no point in you being so secretive about
how you knew that otto was our boy. You can
tell me while I'm standing up the man I intet First,
I think I had better give you the picture of
how it happened as I see it.

Speaker 6 (03:13:56):
Yeah, tell me about that first.

Speaker 76 (03:13:58):
You see, mister and missus Dickson the Water's home shortly
after two o'clock.

Speaker 6 (03:14:02):
As they passed the all night Stand.

Speaker 20 (03:14:04):
Missus Dick's asked her husband to step inside and get
an early an issue of the Morning papers. She wanted
to see if they had published her story on the
commics doing.

Speaker 6 (03:14:11):
Yes, that's right.

Speaker 20 (03:14:12):
There was a hammer lying on the counter beside the newspapers.
While Dick stood there waiting for his change, he probably
conceived the idea of murdering his wife. Why because the
inspector he was sick and tired of being known as
mister Stellar Dick. They all modern a holbise. Pride wouldn't
allow him to take second place. Intor Dick had been
an important man all of his life. He didn't like

(03:14:32):
being shoved into the background. You remember he told us
himself that Stella had little respect for his opinion. Yes,
so he did so he rore up the hammer in
the newspaper, us concealing it, and they started home.

Speaker 76 (03:14:43):
Yes, and it isn't a pretty picture doing the brief walk.
The murderous impulse was probably building in his mind.

Speaker 20 (03:14:49):
And when they got in front of the house letter
having it. Yes, I'm say, bedside inspector, what made you suspicious, Havanna?

Speaker 6 (03:14:55):
But missus Dix was.

Speaker 20 (03:14:56):
Meticulous about her appearance, Inspectors. She was one of the
best groom women in the public eye. Everyone knows that
bars So what when we viewed her corpse. We found
a well out of hair, out of place except for
the wound. Talked about the blow and.

Speaker 76 (03:15:08):
That they do suspicious I. I, yes, it's substantiated my suspicions.
Otto told us that he was attacked first and knocked unconscious.

Speaker 20 (03:15:16):
He is right, Inspector. If I were attacked first, Missus
Dick would have had a chance to scream a runner,
at least defend herself.

Speaker 6 (03:15:22):
She certainly would have struggled.

Speaker 20 (03:15:24):
Argo is right, and being a big woman, she'd probably
have put up quite a scrap. At least she'd have
been messed up, As right, Inspector. But you're an amazing feller.
Sometimes I think you're wasting your time and this sort
of work. Now, if you were in palette, yes, possibly
you've got something there, Inspector.

Speaker 6 (03:15:41):
Politics these days is murder.

Speaker 78 (03:15:43):
Mystery is my hobby.

Speaker 79 (03:16:09):
This episode from the Life of Sherlock Holmes will be
transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
and through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.

Speaker 3 (03:16:19):
Petree Wine brings.

Speaker 79 (03:16:20):
You Asil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and the new Adventures
of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie Family the family that took
time to bring you good wine invites you to spend
the next half hour listening to doctor Watson tell us

(03:16:41):
another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend, that
master Detective Sherlock Holmes. And say, let me tell you
something I found just the other day. Steaks are really
back again. Good thick, juicy Porterhouse steaks. That's for me,
a thick, tender steak on the rare side, together with
a glass of Petrie California Burgundy. You know, Patrick Burgundy

(03:17:04):
is a perfect meal time wine and with meat or
any meat dish.

Speaker 3 (03:17:08):
It's the very last word in good eating.

Speaker 79 (03:17:11):
Honestly, when you taste the wonderful flavor of that rich
red Petrick Burgundy, you're tasting one swell example of the
art of wine making.

Speaker 3 (03:17:18):
It's full flavored and just about the most delicious wine
that ever poured from a bottle.

Speaker 79 (03:17:23):
Try it the next time you have steak or chops,
or the next time you have hamburger or pot roast.
Believe me, Petri Burgundy is the best friend a good
meal ever had. And now let's look in on our
good friend and host, doctor Watson.

Speaker 80 (03:17:46):
Come in, Come in, Ah, there you are, mist about
Joe evening, doctor, just in time to join him in
a cup of coffee.

Speaker 12 (03:17:54):
Go up your chill, young filme.

Speaker 2 (03:17:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 79 (03:17:56):
That's it well, doctor, you told us last week that
Knight's new Sherlock Holmes Adventure takes us to the South
of France.

Speaker 80 (03:18:03):
That's right, mister Bartel, the South of France and the
nineteen hundred, a beautiful playground, bordered by the blururst of
blue seas, and populated with an extraordinary cross section of
cosmopolitan europe rich man, poor man, beggar, man thief, all
of them attracted by that rivier of paradise, all of
them drawn by the magical spell of a small white

(03:18:24):
ball spinning round the rim of a elect wheel.

Speaker 79 (03:18:28):
Don't tell me that you and the great Cherlock Holmes
were there on a gambling spray.

Speaker 12 (03:18:31):
We were not, mister Bartel.

Speaker 80 (03:18:33):
At the time my story begins, we just concluded an
extremely delicate mission, a mission, I may say, that.

Speaker 12 (03:18:40):
Concerned the safety and good name.

Speaker 78 (03:18:42):
Of a very prominent member of the royal family.

Speaker 3 (03:18:45):
Say, doctor, you don't meet one story at times, mister Bartow.

Speaker 80 (03:18:49):
In any event, my boy, I'm afraid that's the case
about which my lips are sealed for all time, But
to return to tonight's adventure. One June evening, I persuaded
Holmes to accompany me to the gambling casino at Fragus,
not far from.

Speaker 12 (03:19:02):
Cannes, where we were staying.

Speaker 80 (03:19:04):
It wasn't quite as festionable as a sino at Monte Carlo,
but as I intended to do a little molly gambling myself,
it seemed an establishment more suited to my means. As
we stood there at the green bays covered tables, the
chatter voices and the melodic chanting of the croupiers as
they called the results of each spin of the wheel
formed a background to a quiet conversation that Holmes and.

Speaker 12 (03:19:26):
I were heavy.

Speaker 3 (03:19:37):
Very fast lost ten, Watson founded, and num ten must
come up soon. When I cut your losses, offer on
comfort as strove with me.

Speaker 2 (03:19:44):
On the world.

Speaker 12 (03:19:45):
If a big way, a couple more bed homes. I
have a beating that ten is bound to come up in.

Speaker 3 (03:19:49):
A half watch, and I believe the blood of a
gambler crosses through your veins.

Speaker 80 (03:19:53):
No harm in taking a little flato once in a while.

Speaker 12 (03:19:55):
Why don't you risk a few francs?

Speaker 81 (03:19:57):
Oh, thank you, my dear chap the law average is
convinces me that my money is safer in my pocket.
In any case, I'm a little dubious as to the
integrity of this particular casino.

Speaker 12 (03:20:07):
What makes you say that?

Speaker 81 (03:20:08):
Well, you will observe that this roulette wheel has a
double zero most continental wheels have only a single one,
but indicate that this house is extremely concerned with its percentage.

Speaker 21 (03:20:19):
Fake.

Speaker 80 (03:20:20):
Oh, just two more turns in the wheel homes take
that walk with you here feeling?

Speaker 2 (03:20:24):
Why do you not get on the other side of
the favors?

Speaker 31 (03:20:26):
I must follow?

Speaker 25 (03:20:27):
Stand next to me, Hello, God, trouble up there.

Speaker 12 (03:20:30):
I've placed my bet, so so let's go see ask you?

Speaker 2 (03:20:33):
Why do you play here beside me?

Speaker 3 (03:20:35):
I have afraid I don't see any reason why I
can't play wherever I squish you. You've broken my luck
ever since you come to the table, left.

Speaker 2 (03:20:41):
On nothing but loose.

Speaker 12 (03:20:42):
Please to move.

Speaker 3 (03:20:43):
Away, I'll move away yourself.

Speaker 28 (03:20:45):
You don't like my company, heinrich, Why do you not
stop now? You've already lost more than we can a.

Speaker 3 (03:20:50):
Heart where I can win it all back before it
the young men will move away?

Speaker 28 (03:20:54):
Why should my husband?

Speaker 20 (03:20:55):
We've had a bad one of.

Speaker 2 (03:20:56):
Not too we've lost again.

Speaker 25 (03:21:03):
Watch stop now, I must stop.

Speaker 79 (03:21:06):
Him because I've lost every I hope you're set this
white mist American.

Speaker 25 (03:21:10):
You're walking my.

Speaker 12 (03:21:11):
Luck and hood. I hope that you and your friend
will be Woino.

Speaker 3 (03:21:16):
I've never heard such rubbish in my life. Were you
listening to him, sir? I heard his last few remarks,
mister Gilbert, Roger Gilbert, and this is my wife, Helen.

Speaker 6 (03:21:25):
How do you do?

Speaker 3 (03:21:25):
My name is Holmes, and this is my friend, doctor
w how do you do?

Speaker 8 (03:21:28):
How do didn't you think his remarks were in a
lot of place?

Speaker 2 (03:21:30):
Doctor?

Speaker 80 (03:21:31):
I said it did, missus Gilbert, I don't see how
he can possibly blame your husband for his run of
bad luck.

Speaker 25 (03:21:36):
I didn't like to look on his face as he
left the table.

Speaker 3 (03:21:38):
Though he's the only idea who he is. His name
is Schnaemer. He's staying at the same hotel as we are.
I've never spoken to him, but i've heard him being
paid there.

Speaker 8 (03:21:45):
Well, you shouldn't gamble unless he can afford to loo.

Speaker 3 (03:21:47):
I'm losing, darling, and I can't afford it.

Speaker 5 (03:21:49):
Oh, I can let you have more money.

Speaker 2 (03:21:51):
You know that.

Speaker 3 (03:21:52):
No, Hell and I may have married an arrest, but
I'm not going to use her fortune to gamble with. Oh,
I lose my own money and then I'll quit, I'm.

Speaker 80 (03:22:02):
I said Watson, Yes homes this time, I know that
number ten is going to come up.

Speaker 12 (03:22:06):
It's got up.

Speaker 18 (03:22:19):
You know what piece.

Speaker 25 (03:22:21):
Hell last?

Speaker 59 (03:22:23):
I've lost again?

Speaker 75 (03:22:24):
Done telling?

Speaker 23 (03:22:26):
This is my sad night.

Speaker 22 (03:22:27):
Why don't you stop?

Speaker 57 (03:22:28):
Daddy?

Speaker 81 (03:22:28):
Holmes have made three hundred and fifty frank on this
throat the wheel, fellow, but as you've lost some five
hundred francs doing it, I can't say that you're.

Speaker 21 (03:22:36):
Home.

Speaker 8 (03:22:37):
I can think you're no gambler.

Speaker 2 (03:22:38):
I'm afraid not.

Speaker 12 (03:22:39):
This is Gilbert and say that Holmes, or you may
not like Roulette.

Speaker 80 (03:22:42):
You've taken a good many chances in your life with
long odds against you too.

Speaker 81 (03:22:46):
I'm never gonna sell Chappins that since missus Gilbert means
that I am not a gambler.

Speaker 12 (03:22:51):
Where's the commotion over there?

Speaker 20 (03:22:55):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (03:22:55):
Yes, the wife of that man that said I ruined him.

Speaker 19 (03:22:57):
I caught you.

Speaker 25 (03:22:58):
I cast you for your backstop. He is asking for doctor.

Speaker 12 (03:23:02):
Doctor come along then?

Speaker 2 (03:23:03):
Will you excuse me?

Speaker 6 (03:23:04):
Baz?

Speaker 75 (03:23:05):
Thank you?

Speaker 25 (03:23:05):
Excuse me madam? When I'm your doctor?

Speaker 3 (03:23:09):
What's you the da what happened?

Speaker 25 (03:23:12):
Madam?

Speaker 5 (03:23:12):
It is my husband?

Speaker 2 (03:23:13):
Is he?

Speaker 28 (03:23:14):
I just found him lying out in the gardens. Please
come with me as one gentleman.

Speaker 25 (03:23:18):
Of course we will, Madam.

Speaker 12 (03:23:19):
What seems to be the matter with him?

Speaker 28 (03:23:21):
Hey, doctor, I think she is dead. He's lying by
that three doctor, Please see if you can help him.

Speaker 3 (03:23:38):
Somebody else seems to be on the scene before us,
who use her? I am monsieur director of the casino.
Do any of you noticed poor man? I am his wife?

Speaker 2 (03:23:48):
Is he? Is he?

Speaker 6 (03:23:50):
It?

Speaker 3 (03:23:52):
I am afraid so, madam, let me look at him.

Speaker 2 (03:23:54):
I'm a doctor.

Speaker 3 (03:23:55):
What's your husband dambling in sener tonight?

Speaker 10 (03:23:57):
Madame?

Speaker 2 (03:23:57):
Yeah, he was cool.

Speaker 22 (03:24:00):
He lose everything that we have.

Speaker 12 (03:24:02):
I'm afraid he's dead, Madam.

Speaker 3 (03:24:04):
Shot to the heart, leap of good sus hide Watson
h looks like it.

Speaker 81 (03:24:10):
Yeah, powder burns on the shirt front, revolver touched in
the right hand, fingers in a natural position.

Speaker 3 (03:24:18):
The angle of the wound settles it. Obviously self inflicted.

Speaker 75 (03:24:21):
I missed you.

Speaker 3 (03:24:22):
You slipped out of the casino. What's wrong with him?
I'm afraid he's dead.

Speaker 28 (03:24:25):
Mister Gilbert, Yes, he committed suicide. I hope, young man,
that you are satisfied all night.

Speaker 18 (03:24:31):
You probably bad luck.

Speaker 28 (03:24:32):
He asked you to move away from him to change
his luck, but no you could not do it.

Speaker 3 (03:24:36):
Ah Fraushneman, I'm terribly sorry, but I really don't see
how you can blame me.

Speaker 28 (03:24:40):
I do blame you, and I also blame you, Monsieur
chevrin me.

Speaker 3 (03:24:44):
But what have I done? Madam?

Speaker 28 (03:24:45):
Why do you let a man lose all his money
at your tables? Is life so cheap to you on
money so important that you cannot loose the tables to somebody.

Speaker 3 (03:24:52):
Before he's gone done? I am a sympathy for you
in your tragic loss, but the casino going to be irresponsible.
If your husband should not afford to gamble, then he
should not come here. However, we should know the financial
limitations about customers.

Speaker 25 (03:25:07):
You said your husband lost everything you had tonight, Madam?

Speaker 20 (03:25:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (03:25:10):
Everything?

Speaker 3 (03:25:11):
Then how do you account for the sheaf of banknotes
in his breast pocket?

Speaker 12 (03:25:16):
It must be several thousand francs.

Speaker 3 (03:25:17):
Then he wasn't ruin and his suicide therefore cannot be
blamed on his losses at matter cine?

Speaker 2 (03:25:22):
Madam?

Speaker 25 (03:25:24):
How do you count for this money for our fame?

Speaker 28 (03:25:26):
I do not understand finally kept nothing from me. I
know that he had not so much money on him
that he started tonight.

Speaker 2 (03:25:34):
Well, why do you all look at me like that?

Speaker 28 (03:25:36):
Is it what you think?

Speaker 31 (03:25:37):
You think that she painted?

Speaker 21 (03:25:39):
I've got up?

Speaker 2 (03:25:40):
Just get her to her room.

Speaker 3 (03:25:41):
You can take her to my suite and it casino. No,
let's take her to the hotel. My wife will look
after poor a woman. She's had a dreadful shock. She
can probably do with another woman's companies. Better consider it
of you, mister Gilbert. Where you staying at the Hotel Creon?
It's quite near here.

Speaker 81 (03:25:54):
I get a cabin while I'm doing that. Watson, see
if you can revive her Williams. They gonn take her
to the Hotel Creon. Is it kind of you, missus Gilbert,
to let us bring the poor lady into your suite?

Speaker 28 (03:26:13):
But's the least I can do.

Speaker 8 (03:26:14):
Inspired what she said about Roger bringing her husband bad luck.

Speaker 3 (03:26:16):
I'm sure she'll need your help when she wakes up.

Speaker 80 (03:26:18):
Helen Is I think you will find you sleep for
someher and I gave her a strong sedative.

Speaker 3 (03:26:22):
We were just about to have a drink. Gentleman, do
you care to join us?

Speaker 2 (03:26:25):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (03:26:26):
Thank you sir, that's nice.

Speaker 8 (03:26:28):
Roger was just telling me the quite a large summer
money was found on heir Shaman's body was Tom Yes.

Speaker 3 (03:26:33):
Missus Gilbert several thousand francs puzzling home.

Speaker 12 (03:26:37):
So why should a man commit suicide with so much
money on him?

Speaker 3 (03:26:40):
I think the answer is obvious.

Speaker 25 (03:26:42):
He didn't.

Speaker 12 (03:26:43):
What on earth do you mean?

Speaker 25 (03:26:45):
Well, the money was placed there after he had shot himself.

Speaker 3 (03:26:48):
The bank asper in his breast pocket, if you remember,
and hardly usual placed harry money, though it is the
easiest pocket for someone to insert it without disturbing the body.
But why, don't know, should someone places money on him
after his suicide to prevent the casino from getting a
bad name. I've heard of it's being.

Speaker 25 (03:27:04):
Done on several similar occasions.

Speaker 81 (03:27:06):
Gives the impression that the unfortunate victim had other motives
than gambling losses to a country's suicide.

Speaker 80 (03:27:12):
Do you mean that one of the casino employers found
the body lying there and slipped the money in his bast.

Speaker 3 (03:27:17):
Pocket before we arrived on the sea, As you know,
my dear, what's and I'm not a gambling man, but
I'll lay you one hundred to one.

Speaker 75 (03:27:23):
That is what happened.

Speaker 12 (03:27:25):
Well that's a new one.

Speaker 3 (03:27:27):
Well, here are your drinks, gentlemen, say Helen.

Speaker 75 (03:27:30):
Mister Holmes has given me a brain wave.

Speaker 8 (03:27:32):
Another one, is it this time?

Speaker 2 (03:27:33):
Roger?

Speaker 7 (03:27:34):
Now, I've been losing very heavily tonight.

Speaker 8 (03:27:35):
D I've told you if you need money, I'll be owned.

Speaker 12 (03:27:37):
But I don't.

Speaker 3 (03:27:39):
I've got a scheme for making some. I'm going to
gamble again tonight after dinner.

Speaker 75 (03:27:43):
If I lose.

Speaker 6 (03:27:44):
Here's what I'll do.

Speaker 3 (03:27:46):
I'll stain my shirt front with redd ink, walk out
in the grounds, fire a shot, and lie down so
I'm dead. I'll wait for someone to come along and
stuff my pockets full of banknotes.

Speaker 12 (03:27:55):
Not a bad idea, mister Gilbert.

Speaker 3 (03:27:57):
I think it's a died good one. What are you say,
mister Horne, it's a whimsical one at any rate. Who
knows you might even be successful?

Speaker 8 (03:28:04):
Roger, you're not really going to do it.

Speaker 3 (03:28:06):
I'm sure perhaps I'll get some of my losses back
that way.

Speaker 75 (03:28:11):
Well, let's drink to a gentleman.

Speaker 3 (03:28:12):
At least I may have hit upon an idea of
making money.

Speaker 81 (03:28:32):
My dear Watson, you have to work hard at your
practice when you get back to England, your infallible system
appears to be extremely infallible.

Speaker 80 (03:28:39):
You have to follow told me about it, said it's good,
and miss it's just a matter of doublin who's takes.

Speaker 12 (03:28:43):
Each time you'll look off and then, my.

Speaker 81 (03:28:44):
Dear fellow, I've been studying your system, but I can
tell you a really infallible way of making money at roulette.

Speaker 3 (03:28:50):
You can, what is it, well, own the gambling.

Speaker 81 (03:28:53):
House and operate the tables yourself. The arts would be
all in your favor.

Speaker 3 (03:28:56):
A brilliant suggestion, not gambling to the night watson. She
nearly eleven the clown.

Speaker 12 (03:29:04):
I think, sir, let's take a stroll around the other table, show.

Speaker 25 (03:29:09):
All the way, old fellow.

Speaker 3 (03:29:10):
The young American mister Gilbert was losing heavily again tonight.

Speaker 80 (03:29:12):
He was, I wonder if he'll try that trick that
he threatened, the one with the red ink and the
shot in the.

Speaker 25 (03:29:18):
Night, that should be at all surprised.

Speaker 3 (03:29:20):
As a matter of interest, I saw him leave the
tables about half an hour ago.

Speaker 80 (03:29:24):
Here comes his wife on the arm of most of Chevy,
the director of the casino.

Speaker 25 (03:29:27):
Agree with believing missus Gilbert monsieur, Hello.

Speaker 8 (03:29:31):
Mister Holmes, Dr Watson. Misieur Chevret is giving me a
personally conducted tour of the casino.

Speaker 3 (03:29:36):
It's quite fascinating, and it is quite fascinating for me
to have so beautiful a woman on my arm.

Speaker 25 (03:29:41):
I myself, I know that I am the envy of.

Speaker 3 (03:29:45):
All the men in the room.

Speaker 5 (03:29:46):
Oh, stop flattering me so much.

Speaker 3 (03:29:47):
I'm not used to it.

Speaker 25 (03:29:48):
Missus Gilbert, how is a crush nayman?

Speaker 8 (03:29:51):
She seems much better. She wakened an hour ago insisted
on going back to her own room. I wanted her
to spend the night with us in last week, but
you wouldn't.

Speaker 12 (03:29:58):
Hear you think I should drop in and see for
I go to bed.

Speaker 3 (03:30:00):
At Oh you have finished it emped in fortnight.

Speaker 80 (03:30:03):
Perhaps stop then, perhaps about it, Monsieur Chevley. I've had
a bad run at the tables.

Speaker 3 (03:30:08):
I am so sorry.

Speaker 8 (03:30:09):
Has anyone seen Roger?

Speaker 3 (03:30:10):
You left the tables about half an hour ago, Missus Gilbert, after.

Speaker 12 (03:30:13):
Doing as I did and losing quite heavily.

Speaker 32 (03:30:15):
I lost again today.

Speaker 8 (03:30:17):
I wonder if you'll try that new system he was
talking about.

Speaker 81 (03:30:20):
We were just discussing that possibility ourselves, Missus Gilbert.

Speaker 2 (03:30:23):
Missus Gilberth, Missus Gilbet rush Sam, and you shouldn't have
left charge key.

Speaker 28 (03:30:27):
It is too late to worry for me here doctor,
it is for missus Gilbert now that you should borry.

Speaker 12 (03:30:31):
What do you mean matter?

Speaker 28 (03:30:32):
Well, I've went back just now to be a poor
hun retired on the air. Lying in the grass, I
saw another body. I was too shocked to go too close,
but I am quite sure that I recognized your husband,
Missus Gilbert.

Speaker 8 (03:30:44):
Oh, doctor Watson, she's ruined Roger's trick.

Speaker 81 (03:30:46):
You have taken fright and voted by the time we
get to the glass, and maybe let's go at once
and find out chabe.

Speaker 12 (03:31:02):
He hasn't gone if he's too lyne yet.

Speaker 8 (03:31:04):
It's the most convincing spectacle that reddink really does.

Speaker 12 (03:31:07):
Look like blood.

Speaker 3 (03:31:09):
Yes, and blood sometimes looks like red ink.

Speaker 8 (03:31:14):
Mister Gibbert, Roger, get up the joke, spoil Roger, get up.

Speaker 3 (03:31:21):
I'm afraid that's impossible, Missus Gubbert. He's dead.

Speaker 79 (03:31:34):
Doctor Watson's story will be continued in just a second,
which is all the time. I need to tell you
that the easiest way I know to transform a simple
meal into a feast is to serve that meal together
with Petri California sob Turn. Petri so Turn is a
delicate white wine. It's the perfect companion for chicken, a
turkey turkey, Yes, turkey and Petri so Turn. That's the

(03:31:57):
heart any Thanksgiving dinner. Look, when make this Thanksgiving dinner
the best one you ever had, give it the air
of a banquet. Serve it with Pettery so Turn. And
when you buy that subturn or any wine for your
Thanksgiving dinner, whatever you do, look for the letters P E,
T R I, because a fattery.

Speaker 3 (03:32:16):
Wine is always a good wine.

Speaker 6 (03:32:20):
Well, that is so.

Speaker 3 (03:32:21):
The young American's joke turned out to be another tragedy.

Speaker 80 (03:32:23):
Yes, the poor fellow was lying there dead with a
bullet wound in the hut, a great spash of blood
stating the whiteness of his shirt front.

Speaker 3 (03:32:31):
What happened next?

Speaker 80 (03:32:32):
The siau Chevre direct to the casino, took the distort
widow away from the scene while Holmes and I examined
the body closely. Within a few minutes we were joined
by Inspector Ganive of the French police. As we stood
there in the moonlight, the sounds of music we heard
from the casino, it was hard to believe that two
men have died in that lovely garden since the moon

(03:32:54):
had risen.

Speaker 14 (03:33:01):
Monsieur Olmes, you.

Speaker 82 (03:33:02):
And doctor Watson have concluded your examination.

Speaker 3 (03:33:05):
Yes, Inspector Ganna, you favor me with your observations.

Speaker 82 (03:33:08):
You say that you are certain that this is not
another suicide.

Speaker 25 (03:33:11):
I'm sure of, an, inspector. Look at the wound.

Speaker 81 (03:33:13):
The bullet entered the body at a direct right angle,
whereas a self inpricted shot is always part.

Speaker 6 (03:33:18):
Of brick claim.

Speaker 25 (03:33:19):
Yes, that is so.

Speaker 82 (03:33:20):
Then you suggest that this man was shut from above
as he lay on the ground pretending to be dead.

Speaker 25 (03:33:25):
I'm convinced of it.

Speaker 81 (03:33:26):
Why, Monsieur Well for two reasons, though it's impossible to
be sure without elaborate red test. I'm certain beneath those
bloodstains are stains of red ink.

Speaker 82 (03:33:36):
Look for your self, inspector, hmm, Yes, indeed he does
look like it. What is your other reason for being
certain that this man was shot as he lay here pretending?

Speaker 25 (03:33:44):
There a show in the bank notes, Watson, you are, inspector.

Speaker 12 (03:33:47):
We found them stuffed in his breast pocket.

Speaker 2 (03:33:50):
So banknotes with.

Speaker 82 (03:33:52):
A bullet hole through the middle of them very illuminating.
They tell me, gentlemen, how many people knew of this,
this little plot. You have told me about this plan
of the dead man's to pretend to be shot.

Speaker 3 (03:34:03):
Just three people inspected. Dr Watson, myself and missus Gilbert Lord.

Speaker 82 (03:34:06):
Then the answer is obvious. You and your friend are innocent.
It must be the wife who killed him.

Speaker 3 (03:34:10):
No one else knew of the plan.

Speaker 80 (03:34:11):
I'm not so sure that Flosh name and the dead
german's widow was in the next room when Gilbert told us.

Speaker 12 (03:34:17):
About his plan. She might have heard that.

Speaker 80 (03:34:19):
I could swear that she was asleep. I gave her
a very strong sleeping draft.

Speaker 82 (03:34:23):
From what you have told me of her husband's suicide,
she might easily have had a motive for murdering misl Come, Come, come, gentlemen.

Speaker 25 (03:34:30):
Surely gets obvious who murdered mister Gilbert?

Speaker 7 (03:34:32):
Who monsieur?

Speaker 12 (03:34:33):
Certainly one of the two widows.

Speaker 81 (03:34:35):
Since there seems to be some doubt in your minds,
I suggest we returned to the casino. I can promise
you the answer to your question within a very few.

Speaker 25 (03:34:42):
Minutes were Minster Cheva.

Speaker 3 (03:34:55):
Now that we're all assembled in your office, I shall
sit down quietly and let Inspector Gannaway conduct his execs.

Speaker 82 (03:35:00):
No no, no, monsieur Holmes. No, you have handled the
case so far. Please to continue it through the end.

Speaker 3 (03:35:05):
Yes, us, your Holmes. I should appreciate it and be
happy that carsina very well, gentlemen, it won't take me long.

Speaker 12 (03:35:12):
First, a one, your heir Holmes.

Speaker 3 (03:35:14):
And what time did you leave your hotel tonight?

Speaker 18 (03:35:16):
Well?

Speaker 28 (03:35:16):
I do not know what time it was?

Speaker 3 (03:35:18):
Well what made you leave it?

Speaker 67 (03:35:19):
I could not sleep.

Speaker 28 (03:35:21):
I knew that they had taken poor Heinrich's body away,
but I felt that I must walk back there. It
was the last place I saw him alive.

Speaker 3 (03:35:28):
How close did you come to mister Gilbert's body when
you saw it lying there?

Speaker 67 (03:35:31):
Well?

Speaker 28 (03:35:31):
Close enough to see who it was? Then I went
into the casino to tell his wife. I knew what
had happened.

Speaker 7 (03:35:36):
How did you know?

Speaker 3 (03:35:38):
You say you didn't come close to the body.

Speaker 28 (03:35:40):
I could tell by every line of the body as
it lay there. I could tell because I knew that
poor heinrichstat would not be avenged.

Speaker 3 (03:35:47):
Thank you fash I man, that would be all you
my girl.

Speaker 2 (03:35:49):
Missur Holmes, she has no alibi.

Speaker 25 (03:35:51):
Surely you take to get away. If I'm to conduct
this investigation, I must do it in my own way.

Speaker 14 (03:35:55):
Third old, miss Holmes, please continue.

Speaker 25 (03:35:58):
You may go first only one, Missus Gilbert.

Speaker 3 (03:36:04):
Yes, mister Holmes, where were you plied to our meeting
in the casino tonight? Just before we discovered your husband's body?

Speaker 8 (03:36:10):
After I left the hotel, I walked over here along
the seafront.

Speaker 3 (03:36:14):
Can anyone verify that statement?

Speaker 2 (03:36:16):
I suppose not.

Speaker 8 (03:36:17):
I didn't meet anyone that I knew.

Speaker 3 (03:36:19):
And what did you do when you arrived at the casino?

Speaker 28 (03:36:22):
I played a little shamande fair.

Speaker 8 (03:36:24):
A few months later, Missie Cheer came over to the
table and as if he had escort me over the club.
Ten minutes after that, we walked into you and doctor Watson.

Speaker 3 (03:36:32):
That is quite soon as your Holmes, I can swear
to it.

Speaker 25 (03:36:35):
Thank you, Missus Gilbert.

Speaker 3 (03:36:35):
I'm sorry to distress you with these questions.

Speaker 7 (03:36:37):
You may go.

Speaker 5 (03:36:38):
I'll wait outside, mister Holmes.

Speaker 3 (03:36:40):
I must know what happened. Wait for me, then, madam,
I shall join you in a few minutes. And that's
got your home.

Speaker 74 (03:36:47):
Well.

Speaker 81 (03:36:48):
Another suspect for the poor alibi alibine, Hey, Gullabet, I.

Speaker 2 (03:36:51):
Must same as your Holmes. Your methods puzzled me.

Speaker 82 (03:36:54):
It seems to me that both those women should be watched.

Speaker 12 (03:36:56):
Yes, I agree with the Inspector Holmes.

Speaker 81 (03:36:58):
He isn't buddy, inspector, and I've asked your playing clothes
men to keep an eye on the ladies. And now,
Monsieur Chevrey, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Ask me any question you wish, Monsieur Holmes, thank you.
You will agree that it is the custom of the
casino to put money on the bodies of suicides after
their death, to get the impression that gambling and gambling

(03:37:19):
losses were not responsible for the tragedy.

Speaker 7 (03:37:20):
Well, I do not think.

Speaker 40 (03:37:22):
Come now, Chevrey, I know that is a fact as
well as you do.

Speaker 81 (03:37:25):
Exactly now on those rather grucime occasions, whose responsibility is
it to secrete the money yours?

Speaker 3 (03:37:31):
Or do you entrust the matter to an underling? I
do it myself. I see. Did you place the money
on here Schneman tonight?

Speaker 2 (03:37:36):
Yes, monsieur I did.

Speaker 3 (03:37:38):
And did you also perform the same service on the
body of mister Gilbert No? I knew nothing of that
death until the German lady Fault Schneman running into the casino.
Excuse me interrupting, Monsieur course inspector.

Speaker 2 (03:37:50):
What is it.

Speaker 3 (03:37:50):
I think that you are wasting time.

Speaker 82 (03:37:52):
It is obvious that Madame Gilbert committed the crime. She
knew of her husband's blood, she had no alibi, and
she had the motive for it is not marriage itself,
the greatest of all motives for murder.

Speaker 3 (03:38:04):
Oh, my dear inspector, how very cenical.

Speaker 25 (03:38:06):
Madame Defert did not kill her husband.

Speaker 31 (03:38:08):
I know it.

Speaker 25 (03:38:09):
And what is your opinion, Watson?

Speaker 80 (03:38:11):
It's a German woman. She had no alibi either, and
remember she was half mad with grief.

Speaker 25 (03:38:16):
Mister Chevrey, you say that you know missus Gilbert is
not guilty.

Speaker 3 (03:38:20):
You know I was with her myself at the time
the murder was committed. Oh indeed, how very interesting. And
what time was the murder committed?

Speaker 7 (03:38:29):
Well, it was, it was.

Speaker 3 (03:38:32):
Our investigations have never established what time the murder was committed,
Monsieur Bevrey, I'm afraid you've walked into my trap.

Speaker 25 (03:38:38):
You give me yourself away way.

Speaker 12 (03:38:39):
It's Scott Sheery.

Speaker 6 (03:38:40):
It was you, Chevrey.

Speaker 3 (03:38:41):
I have known you a good many years and this
is going to be a hard thing to do.

Speaker 6 (03:38:44):
I am going to arrest you.

Speaker 3 (03:38:45):
Oh no, you're not, jeemee. That revolves do not be
fighting data.

Speaker 7 (03:38:49):
I am not going to shoot you.

Speaker 25 (03:38:51):
Gevrey.

Speaker 3 (03:38:53):
Why did you murder Roger Gilbert tonight? Surely you know
that too, Msieur Holmes, because I am in love with
his wife. She's young, beautiful and rich. It did not
occur to me until I saw the young fool lying
there tonight, pretending to be dead. In my profession, it
is natural that I should carry a revolver.

Speaker 12 (03:39:15):
What was simpler?

Speaker 3 (03:39:17):
Mister Puppert gave me the perfect opportunity. I could not
resist it to turn that revolver? Chevrey, Why are you
also frightened?

Speaker 12 (03:39:25):
Truly?

Speaker 3 (03:39:26):
You know how I am going to use it this time.
I think it's a monsieur, but it's a cowage way out.
What an unperceptive remark for such a perceptive man. No, No,
all my life I have been a dambler. I gambled
tonight for the highest.

Speaker 2 (03:39:43):
Stakes of all and I lost. No.

Speaker 3 (03:39:48):
No, I am not afraid to pay for my losses
or Reformasieur.

Speaker 80 (03:40:03):
An extraordinary case Helmser. I never suspected Chevret.

Speaker 3 (03:40:07):
And I Alta had suspected him from the beginning.

Speaker 12 (03:40:09):
Well, I wasn't the.

Speaker 80 (03:40:10):
Only one who was stupid anyway, Inspector Gannivary.

Speaker 81 (03:40:13):
Thought it was the one true that it passing conclusion
for a detective inspector to arrive.

Speaker 12 (03:40:18):
At It seemed logical enough to me at the time.

Speaker 81 (03:40:21):
No, no, no, my dear Watson, cold logic should have
told you otherwise. Roger Gilbert had been losing heavily and
had planned the hoax.

Speaker 25 (03:40:27):
He obviously had no money on him.

Speaker 81 (03:40:28):
Therefore the money was planted in his pocket by Chevret
after he shot him no mediphone before before the bullet
hole through the banknotes. Provided that now, had the money
been put there innocently, Gilbert would have well, you know,
come back to life as soon as the person placing
it there had left. He would not have remained lying

(03:40:49):
on the ground for a murderer to find him, and.

Speaker 80 (03:40:51):
Chevy must have bent over him as he lay there,
placed the money in his breast pocket and.

Speaker 3 (03:40:55):
Then fired precisely.

Speaker 80 (03:40:56):
Watson, I must say you solved it very neatly. You've
told Inspector Gannivey that you wanted no credit in the case.

Speaker 81 (03:41:05):
Naturally, publicity would be unfavorable. If you remember, no one
is supposed to know that we're in the south of France.

Speaker 80 (03:41:10):
Certain the inspector learned a few tips about detections.

Speaker 81 (03:41:13):
And I possibly, and I hope that you have learned
a few things about gambling. How do you mean you're
backing the wrong color? A gambler is usually superstitious and
superstition Well, I should.

Speaker 3 (03:41:24):
Have told you what color to followed night.

Speaker 80 (03:41:26):
I still don't understand your homes I was playing number
ten exactly.

Speaker 3 (03:41:30):
Number ten is black.

Speaker 81 (03:41:32):
You should have followed a red color to night, old fellow,
the color of red ink, red ink, and blood.

Speaker 79 (03:41:50):
Say, doctor, that was a swell story. I didn't know
you liked to play roulette. You know, I figured out
of system for roulette.

Speaker 3 (03:41:58):
It's like yours.

Speaker 79 (03:41:59):
Every time you lose, you double your money and keep
doubling until you win.

Speaker 12 (03:42:02):
Well, it's a great system for sebottle. Is any one
thing wrong with it?

Speaker 18 (03:42:05):
What's that?

Speaker 13 (03:42:06):
Losing?

Speaker 12 (03:42:07):
Go broke? We win? Take my advice, don't gamble. You
can't beat the laws of chance.

Speaker 79 (03:42:13):
But suppose I bet on a sure thing like what?
For instance, Oh, like the fact that Petrie wine is
always good wine? It is, you know, because the Petrie
family has been making wine for generations. They've been hanging
down from father to son, from father to son the
art of turning luscious sun ripened grapes into delicious, fragrant wine.

(03:42:35):
Ever since the Petrie family started their business way back
in the eighteen hundreds, they've been perfecting the art of
wine making. That's why Petrie wine is always good wine.
The Petrie family took time to bring you good wine.
So no matter what type wine you prefer, why not
take a few seconds of your time to look for
the letters P E TRI They spell delicious wine, Petrie Wine. Well,

(03:43:01):
Doctor Watson, what new Sherlock Holms story is going to
tell us next week?

Speaker 80 (03:43:04):

Speaker 12 (03:43:20):
We'll find Manana. Don't forget.

Speaker 80 (03:43:22):

Speaker 73 (03:45:02):
Good evening, friends of the inner sanctums, sarere. It is
Tombsday again and this is your ghost host of the
Squeaking turble. A nice story is called the Last Story.
It's an original radio play by Christopher Mayer, and our
star is Richard Widmark, who plays the role of Tony Muse.

(03:45:28):
We're going to with a small main coast fishing village
found a coal where fishing folks go to bed early,
to the lullaby of a serf and the boys off shore.
But this nice there is a new note to added
to the lullaby, a discordant note which, for all its strangeness,
serves only to keep awake the man responsible for it,

(03:45:50):
Anthony Mue, the young newspaper man from the city, is
typing suriously while this bribe sleeps in the other rooms
of their fishermen's cottage. Dead fingers cannot type, a dead
heart cannot age. But that's the end of a story
that began when my paper sent me here to flounder

(03:46:12):
Cove to do a story on fishermen. I spent my
first morning sizing up the town, and about noon I
found myself walking along a rocky bluff away from the village.
I was approaching a little gray church and a little
gray cemetery, and the grass was rush by the large tombstone.

Speaker 30 (03:46:36):
Give me some time.

Speaker 22 (03:46:39):
Tell me show me that I'm not a murderous.

Speaker 68 (03:46:46):
I don't really want to kill anyone, but I feel it,
I feel I must.

Speaker 22 (03:46:55):
Huh, Sorry, miss I was passing by, and well I couldn't.

Speaker 7 (03:47:00):
Help hearing you.

Speaker 69 (03:47:02):
You you have heard me?

Speaker 19 (03:47:06):
Hey, wait a minute, don't go.

Speaker 22 (03:47:08):
I'll leave you alone if you like.

Speaker 19 (03:47:10):
Who are you?

Speaker 22 (03:47:11):
Tony muse?

Speaker 6 (03:47:13):
I didn't mean to eat dry.

Speaker 43 (03:47:14):
All right, but you heard me say.

Speaker 68 (03:47:17):
You would have heard from the others.

Speaker 22 (03:47:19):
She stayed here a while, this grave here, very sherrman.
You were talking to someone. I mean, she was my mother.

Speaker 68 (03:47:35):
She died when I was born.

Speaker 30 (03:47:38):
You heard me talking to her?

Speaker 22 (03:47:39):
Well, I heard some nonsense about oh about you not
wanting to murder somewhat. You're not a murderers, are you.

Speaker 68 (03:47:46):
I've been a murderer since the day I was born.
Murderers in my heart as it wasn't my mother.

Speaker 30 (03:47:56):
Because it wasn't her mother.

Speaker 22 (03:47:59):
Why do you keep your it turned away?

Speaker 7 (03:48:00):
Lad?

Speaker 68 (03:48:03):
Look at me for a moment, Yes, all less you see?

Speaker 19 (03:48:13):
Look look at my eye.

Speaker 68 (03:48:18):
Look you sunlight.

Speaker 14 (03:48:22):
With it?

Speaker 19 (03:48:24):
The yellow, yes, yes, yellow eyes.

Speaker 12 (03:48:31):
Murder's eyes.

Speaker 22 (03:48:33):
Her eyes were yellow, the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.
I saw sunlight and gold.

Speaker 6 (03:48:41):
Butter cups dancing through tears.

Speaker 22 (03:48:44):
But I saw no murder there, only a horrible hurt
that tortured soul. And I felt pitious and the desire
to know more about readers.

Speaker 19 (03:49:01):
Yep, killing runs in the blood got yellow.

Speaker 22 (03:49:04):
Eyes just like a Mars was their pretty eyes though,
yeah right?

Speaker 19 (03:49:08):
Pretty luck at mother's was too. She got a killing
fit and drive the knife through a man's heart. Why
no reason she'd come near hanging for it?

Speaker 15 (03:49:17):
Well didn't she?

Speaker 19 (03:49:18):
Now govermna change it to life? She was gonna have
a baby, Yeah rightap. Harry Shiman died born and right
out prison hospital. Uncle Zeb's good Christian hate took baby
and raised her.

Speaker 22 (03:49:32):
Why does she stay here?

Speaker 19 (03:49:35):
She can't bring herself to break away from a Mar's grave.

Speaker 22 (03:49:38):
All the bluff talks to a ghost. Everyone I spoke
to agreed that Rita's Sherman would kill someone someday. I
should have taken the afternoon train. My story was finished,
but I didn't. I should have forgotten Rita Sherman and
her unhappiness. Thank when I saw her standing on a

(03:50:03):
high point above the hungry rocks and the bluff that afternoon,
when I watched her step to the very brink of
that bluff. I should have turned my head away, but I.

Speaker 69 (03:50:12):
Couldn't stop struck you.

Speaker 31 (03:50:33):
Why did you do that?

Speaker 28 (03:50:36):
You had no right slips, I do have the right.

Speaker 22 (03:50:39):
I love you, Oh dear Heaven. No, is that so horrible?

Speaker 30 (03:50:46):
Reata?

Speaker 68 (03:50:47):
Didn't you? Didn't you see in my eyes?

Speaker 22 (03:50:53):
I saw superstitious nonsense. Rita, You've been told that you're
a born murderer since you were a child. You're being
driven toward it. I can help you readA Please let me, you.

Speaker 68 (03:51:04):
Can help me least a book. Why do you say
that because of what Uncle Zeb told me last night?

Speaker 22 (03:51:10):
What did he say?

Speaker 68 (03:51:13):
The view are probably the man I was meant to child.

Speaker 22 (03:51:21):
My chister, and I found on her lips such a
hunger for love and for understanding that I was blinded
to the violent forces of nature I was dealing with.
And I know, and I might not have called on
Uncle Zeb that evening or heard. What I did is
I froze to the porch of Rita's waterfront shack. The

(03:51:42):
front doors.

Speaker 12 (03:51:45):
The money's gone.

Speaker 22 (03:51:47):
No, No, I pushed the door open, and I faced
Uncle Derb, not a very pretty thinned to the wall by.

Speaker 19 (03:51:58):
A long whaler's harpool?

Speaker 22 (03:52:00):
Who is stuff? He wasn't deading his red rim drunkard's
eyes creating her relief. But you can't pull a far
harpoon back through a man even I knew that.

Speaker 36 (03:52:11):
Who did this?

Speaker 22 (03:52:12):
Zeb? Tell me who?

Speaker 19 (03:52:13):
Quick?

Speaker 22 (03:52:15):
What that Rita said? It wasn't Rita was?

Speaker 7 (03:52:19):
Tell me tell me.

Speaker 22 (03:52:23):
Look, not Rita, he said, not Rita.

Speaker 6 (03:52:31):
But who had done it?

Speaker 22 (03:52:32):
And who would believe that Risa with her yellow eyes
haven't done it? Who would believe that? Now that uncle
Zeb lay in a darkening pool with a stained harpoon
coming through his back?

Speaker 69 (03:52:44):
Who oh, here comes your sheriff. Now come on let
me he did you catch your hair?

Speaker 10 (03:52:59):
Her?

Speaker 69 (03:53:00):
I know that Sherman Garrel would killed somebody Sunday. Yeah, sure,
I know that.

Speaker 22 (03:53:05):
Read this summit.

Speaker 19 (03:53:09):
He got it all wrong.

Speaker 20 (03:53:11):
I mean I have to wait on it.

Speaker 22 (03:53:13):
Why Rader Sharma say that again? Rita Sherman didn't get
Unco's head? Then they have to wait here them Sherman down,
couldn't it don it? She took the five o'clock express.
I want to take it money off. I wasted no
time leaving and flound the cold. They promised the flag
of through train for me. That night, the sheriff came

(03:53:34):
to the station with me and he filled me in
on the story.

Speaker 73 (03:53:39):
What against me?

Speaker 22 (03:53:40):
And Anthe and Zem was buying all those stories about Reader.
But why sheriff? Were they trying to drive the crew
crazy and a worse They could murder somebody and they'd

Something, and I hope to find her.

Speaker 42 (03:54:49):
I have to find a serf.

Speaker 22 (03:54:56):
I couldn't very well tell the sheriff why. I had
to find a shelf better than anyone I knew. A
girl was just then arriving in New York, a girl
who was unstable enough to become a homicidal feat. I

(03:55:21):
was standing on the subway platform at fourteen when I
spotted reason. She was standing at the front end of
the platform with a small group. Things happened fast, and
but I remember, just as I started toward her, I
noticed the man who wavered close to her at the
edge of the platform. I saw her hands raised slowly
toward the maids, and then I retrained, where are your port?

Speaker 68 (03:55:53):
Me?

Speaker 30 (03:55:55):
Tell me?

Speaker 22 (03:55:57):
She fell? Remember a family?

Speaker 68 (03:56:07):
He was waving, sort of rocking.

Speaker 69 (03:56:10):
To pulling back on it.

Speaker 22 (03:56:11):
She wasn't quick enough.

Speaker 6 (03:56:20):
Yes, you.

Speaker 22 (03:56:23):
You don't think you pushed the man, do you?

Speaker 28 (03:56:25):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 30 (03:56:27):
I just saw him leaning.

Speaker 68 (03:56:30):
I raised my hand.

Speaker 22 (03:56:33):
I just don't know, well you didn't. I saw you
you were gonna pull him back. Now, let's talk about that, darling.

Speaker 6 (03:56:41):
You don't know how I've looked for you.

Speaker 68 (03:56:42):
But now now baby, I'll never let you go.

Speaker 22 (03:56:50):
I can't.

Speaker 68 (03:56:52):
I can't get what, darling, I can't see you again.

Speaker 28 (03:56:57):
It's not I don't want to, Tony, but doctor White.

Speaker 30 (03:57:01):
Won't let me.

Speaker 22 (03:57:02):
Who's doctor White.

Speaker 68 (03:57:03):
He's a wonderful man. He's killing me, Tony. He's a psychologist.
He says, it would be dangerous to me to see you.
For a long time, Doctor White.

Speaker 22 (03:57:18):
He became a high polished wall. I couldn't climb between
me and the woman I lost. I forced a couple
of days a readers, but it was always the same story.
Doctor White says, you were a part of my past
that must be forgotten. Doctor White says, I'll have to forget.
You'll be secure, doctor White says. Doctor White says, Doctor

(03:57:42):
White will see you now. Mister mules, thanks, that's news.

Speaker 7 (03:57:50):
What can I do for you?

Speaker 22 (03:57:52):
Who's paying you for your services?

Speaker 15 (03:57:53):
Doctor?

Speaker 7 (03:57:54):
Why?

Speaker 15 (03:57:55):
Why?

Speaker 68 (03:57:55):
I know?

Speaker 22 (03:57:56):
Pether came to me for help. I became interested in, okay, well,
the case of a subject. Frankly, both I see.

Speaker 2 (03:58:08):
Well.

Speaker 22 (03:58:08):
That puts the cards on the table. She comes to
you as a patient wanting to be cured for my sake.
You fall in love with her and influence her to
stay away from me. Yeah, only part of that is true.
She shouldn't see you yet, A very neat way to
eliminate competition, doctor, very neat.

Speaker 6 (03:58:29):
But I'm moving in.

Speaker 22 (03:58:34):
I suffered the tearing pangs of jealous hate in the
days that followed. Rita refused to see me until Point
had released her is cured.

Speaker 2 (03:58:43):
But there was.

Speaker 22 (03:58:45):
One way to beat White, and I planned accordingly. I
parked my car across from his house on Long Island.
It was a deserted section along the shore. Shortly after midnight.
Had a cab came along and I ducked. I followed

(03:59:11):
quite up the driveway until he hurt me with it. Tony, news,
that's news.

Speaker 15 (03:59:20):
What are you doing here?

Speaker 22 (03:59:22):
Let's go inside where it's comfortable. Oh no, we'll talk
right here. Don't let's mess up your driveway. White, this
is a gun, all right, news? What is it you
persisted in keeping readA under your influence?

Speaker 2 (03:59:41):
Doctor?

Speaker 22 (03:59:42):
Now you're going to let it go. Not a chance,
and that when you make me do it by killing me, No,
not by killing but a letter from you will do it, rubbish.
You will either write what I tell you to write,
or you'll never psych again. All right, all right, dear reader,

(04:00:10):
I've been called to the coast for some important and
confidential work. Before going, I've reviewed several of my cases.
I feel that you have sufficiently advanced to be considered
quite normal. I will check into your progress on my return.
Sincerely yours, then sign it frankly mused, this is childish

(04:00:39):
hope to prevent me from showing reader this letter as
a poetry. I've thought of that too, dot hemu hybe rash.
Listen to me. The trouble with you is a psychiatrist
flight is that you never met anyone who wanted something
as much as I want Reda's Shuman, and I mean

(04:01:01):
to have her doctor. It was light and easy to
carry it. I crammed the trunk compartment of the car
shut up when I locked it in town. I mailed
a letter to read it, and I waited centuries for
the night to pay us, and then more centuries for

(04:01:22):
my phone to ring the next day.

Speaker 68 (04:01:27):
Tony, muse, tony, tony, poor old darlings.

Speaker 22 (04:01:33):
Or anything wrong? You're crying?

Speaker 68 (04:01:35):
DA can help it.

Speaker 69 (04:01:37):
I'm just a help it.

Speaker 68 (04:01:39):
I just received the letters from not walking Us.

Speaker 19 (04:01:43):
Reader.

Speaker 22 (04:01:44):
You don't mean he's released your.

Speaker 28 (04:01:49):
Connects to you.

Speaker 22 (04:01:49):
Tony, Baby, pack your toothbrush. I'll pick you up in
the car in one hour. We're heading for Lake Arrowhead, Darling,
this is your wedding. Lake Arrowhead was a beautiful lake

(04:02:11):
and a deep one. It hadn't been easy to act
normally on a trip up with white scale corps in
the car with me, But now I could rid myself
of it. Only one ugly tasklift then time, time and
reader's love would dull these memories. I opened the car

(04:02:34):
trump and I found his eyes staring at me. I
pulled him out of the car. Yeah, the roope, the
toppling bag. I bought the knife and the saw, the
doctor's saw. I was ready. It took me a half

(04:03:05):
hour and all no one would have guessed and who
was packed in the ways at top and package. I
dropped into the lage.

Speaker 15 (04:03:13):
It was finished.

Speaker 30 (04:03:16):
I was free, and I went back.

Speaker 14 (04:03:21):
To Rita.

Speaker 22 (04:03:33):
Tonight we reached Flounder Cove. We're spending our honeymoon here.
No man ever had more than I did to be
happy about with Rita, Rita my wife. It was an
expensive moment. I only realized a short two hours ago

(04:03:53):
that the happiness I bought was impossible to hold. Rita
dozed off peacefully. I'd gone for smoke and a walk
and a morse. When I returned, I paused at our
cottage door. There was someone moving about inside. I waited,

(04:04:15):
then I opened the door softly. Rita was easy to
see in her white nightgown. She was walking softly toward
the bedroom. She was walking in asleep. I followed softly,
my heart beating wildly. She paused for a moment by

(04:04:36):
the bed, looking down at my empty place, and then
she spoke, in a voice that couldn't have been hers.

Speaker 68 (04:04:45):
Yes, mother, I know I'm not.

Speaker 2 (04:04:51):
Yes.

Speaker 22 (04:04:53):
My world was still hushed, balanced, ready to fall on me.
Rita's arm raised slowly, and there was a single blint
of mental and she brought her arm down, and she
leaped on the bed like a wild animal. Her arm
failed up.

Speaker 43 (04:05:10):
I saw her get up.

Speaker 22 (04:05:11):
I saw the knife buried into the slip mattress, watched
my wife return to her bit. Then came here to
write this story. The strange forces of her mind are
not to be tampered with unless it Peter resolved their cure.

(04:05:36):
For all times. Well, it's the story, all but ending,
and the end of the story must be acted out
ironic twist too. The same gun I used on White.

(04:06:08):
readA will never wait to find it. She is a murderss.
It's far better this way. Happiness was not for either
of us. To whom it may concern, I Anthony Muse,

(04:06:32):
who confess to the murder of doctor Donald White of
New York City. I further confess to the murder of
my wife, Rita Sherman mus this night, this my last story.
I bequeathed to all editors whose task patience has been
tried by my artificial, unconvincing, and contrived efforts in fiction writing.

(04:06:58):
I'm going for a walk on the bluff above the scene, Rita, Rita,
didn't you know whom the gods would destroy? They first

(04:07:24):
made man?

Speaker 68 (04:07:27):
We are.

Speaker 23 (04:07:55):
And that's mystery theater. Every week we'll reach into the
dusty file, rush it off, and present her still up
to date replica Baba, who done it of yesterday? This

(04:08:23):
is the American Forces Radio and television circuit.

Speaker 18 (04:09:13):
Every door has a key as a key to every situation.
Behind every unopened door, there is a mistake, and the
opening of this door introduces us to another.

Speaker 21 (04:09:27):
In the series the key.

Speaker 18 (04:09:32):
There we are now everything we need, Joe. You've got
to come quickly, doctor, she said. And there is much
point in my hurrying now, is there?

Speaker 83 (04:09:41):
The further once had some drugs stolen from him, Joe,
and it certainly taught me a lessons.

Speaker 18 (04:09:46):
Never leave a medicine gabinet, U lot, never leave go on, Doc,
cars outside. The Sheriff's up there already. Yeah, it's a
great pity. I like family lawson, very good children, wasn't she.
I tell you a straight doctor will be a lynching
if we get a hands on her killer.

Speaker 2 (04:10:03):
I don't like talk like that, Joe.

Speaker 18 (04:10:05):
Tell everyone feels Oh, you know, it may have been
an accident with a rope max around her neck. Oh no,
Doc Harris, this is murdy.

Speaker 83 (04:10:13):
Yeah, it still doesn't make sense to me. Who would
want to kill a nice young woman like Emily Laws.

Speaker 50 (04:10:19):
The sheriff has a few ideas. It's guilty right now.
What sort of clues did the killer leave? He calls
his name on a wedding tree. Yes, we won't have
to look very far to pick up the murderer, ain't doc.

Speaker 18 (04:11:10):
I'm glad to see you.

Speaker 7 (04:11:11):
Doc.

Speaker 84 (04:11:13):
Well, it's mighty nice to speak to somebody who is
not on the verge of hysteria.

Speaker 50 (04:11:18):
I'm sure you wouldn't like a sedative, Joe, come up with, Doc.
This ain't no time for jokes, nor.

Speaker 84 (04:11:22):
Is it an occasion for wild supposition and insane theorizon.
All these people ought to be about their business, not
dawking here and the hope of satisfying their morbid curiosity.

Speaker 50 (04:11:33):
She's over here, Dot, You sure got a tongue like a.

Speaker 18 (04:11:36):
Sure apple, Doc. I needed when I'm forced to live
with fools like you, Joe.

Speaker 50 (04:11:40):
Little Randy Barnes was up here early this morning. She's
an after the squirrel. When he saw lying at the
foot of the waiting tree, he thought she was asleep
at first, God awaker. Then he ran screaming down the
hills of town.

Speaker 18 (04:11:53):
Will you get those people out of here?

Speaker 50 (04:11:55):
Shre okay, okay, Doc, But you can't blame them for
being concerned. After all, miss Lawson was very popular. Everyone
was fond of her, and they ought to show some
respect for her. Now, Oh all the ball, you good
folk getting along home.

Speaker 18 (04:12:10):
Hardly moved rights back there across the path.

Speaker 50 (04:12:14):
Doc Harris has to examine the court thirty five days
before we can move it.

Speaker 18 (04:12:19):
I still maintain the unor enough. Joe, tink it easy?

Speaker 50 (04:12:22):
Why now you get over with the rest ball.

Speaker 18 (04:12:25):
I always said he should have been locked up years ago.
A minister society, that's.

Speaker 19 (04:12:28):
What he hears.

Speaker 83 (04:12:30):
Yeah, there she is, don Yeah, strangle, strangle with the
cord or strap.

Speaker 18 (04:12:44):
Been dead for.

Speaker 2 (04:12:47):
About eleven hours.

Speaker 50 (04:12:49):
About eleven hours. Oh and she must have been here
last night at ten o'clock of hereabouts.

Speaker 83 (04:12:55):
Yeah, when if she chews come here last night? It
was raining pretty heavy, as I recall.

Speaker 7 (04:13:03):
Oh, court and.

Speaker 50 (04:13:04):
Couples don't worry none about the weather.

Speaker 83 (04:13:06):
Doc Joe mentions something about her leaving a crewe as
to the killer's name.

Speaker 50 (04:13:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, sure, there on tree. See just blow
that knotted piece of ark. She's carved the heart e
two strokes of someone's initial.

Speaker 7 (04:13:25):
Yeah, a vertical stroke and the horizontal.

Speaker 18 (04:13:28):
It's an eight. That's plain enough for anyone died.

Speaker 2 (04:13:30):
She was calling an eight.

Speaker 50 (04:13:31):
Oh look, Joe, I thought I told you that I
could stand for hire them, couldn't it.

Speaker 18 (04:13:36):
Why don't you go off someplace and just cool down. Joe,
you're getting on everybody's nerves. I I'm a lazy, shipless,
no good loafer. You should have been run out of
town years ago. You have to listen to that babbling
idjured sheriff. We'll work this out on our own, Joe, I.

Speaker 85 (04:13:49):
Can tell you how it happened. She's waiting here last
night for dr ride. You know what it means when
a girl or a boy called her heart and their
initials on that tree, it's almost like an engagement. Okay,
Then she's waiting here and she just started the coffee's movement.
He springs the U punter from behind him, tweets the
rope around her neck.

Speaker 83 (04:14:06):
There's another mark here across a stroke there wasn't caused
by no rope.

Speaker 20 (04:14:10):
Now.

Speaker 50 (04:14:10):
She always used to wear a gold key on the chain,
but it's gone. All the chain was fine close to
the body, but the key was vanished.

Speaker 18 (04:14:17):
That's what Hym would do. If the key was gone,
he could sell it.

Speaker 83 (04:14:20):
And I know hire him and there's nothing wrong with him.
He's a good lad. One day he'll be a fine rider,
and a man like you will be proud to say
that you once knew him.

Speaker 50 (04:14:30):
Joe, Well, it may be so dark, but I still
think we should bring harm in for questions.

Speaker 18 (04:14:34):
You're making a mistake. Sure you've got two strokes carved
into the tree. It could be an e. It could
be I don't recog it's an h and sold all
other folks when he got your hurt. Old Joe, this is.

Speaker 50 (04:14:51):
Good morning, professor Porter.

Speaker 18 (04:14:53):
How you heard from the noseboy? And I don't quite
think I've recovered from the shock, even though my wife
is start.

Speaker 50 (04:15:00):
With we very natural, I'm sure. But how long did
you know Emily lost in, Professor Borter?

Speaker 18 (04:15:06):
Well? She she came to our college from Boston with
some excellent credentials.

Speaker 50 (04:15:13):
She boarded in after college, didn't Yes, that's quite correct.
Did you notice she ever had any boyfriends?

Speaker 18 (04:15:22):
I don't make any practice of inquiring into the private
lives of my staff. But no I mustn't voice some
mere suspicions. Well, I just let's have your views.

Speaker 7 (04:15:38):
Poor Emily who girl?

Speaker 2 (04:15:41):
Well?

Speaker 18 (04:15:42):
Let young Hireum Banning was always hanging around.

Speaker 86 (04:15:46):
He used to do with fl odd things about the college,
but he spent most of his time in the library.

Speaker 14 (04:15:52):
Emily was a.

Speaker 18 (04:15:53):
Very studious girl too. That's enough, that's all we need.
There's your proof here, Let's don't get it. That's no
proof at all. Jo ways for taking harm and we
know better he kill us. He's a murderer. You hear that, Folks,
get your guns men, we're bringing harm.

Speaker 19 (04:16:06):
Ben don't get away in this town.

Speaker 2 (04:16:14):
In the show, he should never have said what I did.

Speaker 18 (04:16:21):
There's nothing more savage. You're cruel and Marveysteria.

Speaker 83 (04:16:24):
Look at him running in all directions like wolves going crazy,
lusting after blood.

Speaker 18 (04:16:30):
You must admit that Hiram is the bury extraordinary young man.

Speaker 2 (04:16:33):
He's a genius.

Speaker 18 (04:16:34):
I wouldn't expect anybody in this town to realize that
a genius. No, really, doctor Harrison not.

Speaker 50 (04:16:40):
All I know is I'd better do my level best
to bring in him before the crowd dead. They're in
the mood for lynchon.

Speaker 18 (04:16:46):
Why don't you call him the state trooper, sheriff, you'll
be needing the arm sheriff of this town. I can
manage things on my own.

Speaker 50 (04:16:53):
I'll have the murdering named and under lock and key before.

Speaker 2 (04:16:56):
I call the trooper the man of office.

Speaker 7 (04:17:00):
There's a.

Speaker 18 (04:17:02):
They're not going to leave for here.

Speaker 83 (04:17:04):
I think the ambulance is coming over from Stillville Hospital.

Speaker 2 (04:17:08):
Now.

Speaker 6 (04:17:10):
It's monstrous him monstrous.

Speaker 18 (04:17:12):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know which is worse, though.

Speaker 83 (04:17:16):
Professor Emily Lawson's murder or that crowd hooping in the
holler and bent on murder of its own.

Speaker 39 (04:17:39):
Yeah, yeah, left the clear out of the county.

Speaker 6 (04:17:45):
Find him in the years.

Speaker 18 (04:17:47):
They'll burn him up. With him lot of time to
hire him. I climb through your sky and I can
hit him here and the sakes, boy, you shouldn't have
come here.

Speaker 87 (04:17:55):
Where else could I go? I went it on the
highway to hit you right out of time. When a
packet them saw me and started shooting at me. They
caught me in the arm.

Speaker 18 (04:18:03):
You sit down, boy, let me see that that.

Speaker 11 (04:18:05):
Broke any medicine cabinet with some bandages. Sorry, doctor, Why
don't you worry about a thing?

Speaker 18 (04:18:12):
You just sit there and take things easy? In son?
What's wrong with them? Why are they after me?

Speaker 87 (04:18:17):
I know they think I'm crazy because I don't get
a regular job and because I like to live out
in my cabin in the woods. Really is my trying
to explain to them that I'm trying to write a novel.
Was trying to write a novel. All I had on
paper went up in the planes with a lot of gold.
They set the tide to my cabin.

Speaker 18 (04:18:38):
Lucky you weren't incinerated with it.

Speaker 3 (04:18:40):
What is it?

Speaker 18 (04:18:41):
Why are they after me? Emily Lawson was found murdered
up with the wedding tree this morning, family strangled. They're
blaming you, Hiram. I wouldn't care anymore much less I
know that, but you're the scapegoat.

Speaker 11 (04:19:04):
It's funny because I went right by the wedding tree
early this morning.

Speaker 88 (04:19:10):
I like walking through the woods at that time. I
found this lying there, some bush of it, the key.
I was going to give it for the college today.

Speaker 18 (04:19:25):
Do you swear that you didn't see her?

Speaker 11 (04:19:28):
I don't need to make any old, Doc. I've never
lied to you, and you know it.

Speaker 29 (04:19:34):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 15 (04:19:35):
I'm sorry that I doubt it even.

Speaker 2 (04:19:37):
For a moment.

Speaker 14 (04:19:39):
What do I do with this?

Speaker 18 (04:19:40):
You'll give that to me, Doc? They call me. You
finished bathing?

Speaker 2 (04:19:45):
That would, Hiram.

Speaker 18 (04:19:47):
I'll bless it for you later.

Speaker 83 (04:19:50):
I haven't used this in a long while, but as
I recall, is no better shot than Doc Harris and
the six counties around.

Speaker 7 (04:20:01):
You.

Speaker 2 (04:20:01):
Get down off my porch again.

Speaker 20 (04:20:03):
I get down, Jerry.

Speaker 89 (04:20:08):
I followed up bloodstains like wild.

Speaker 18 (04:20:10):
Hello the jungle.

Speaker 83 (04:20:17):
I'm warning you, Joe, take one step forward and I'll
shoot all of it, all of you.

Speaker 44 (04:20:23):
Hear me now, posted you I brought into this world.

Speaker 18 (04:20:29):
All of you have nurse in your hours of sickness,
and the either the call the winter or the heat
of summer.

Speaker 90 (04:20:35):
Held me from your bedside. When I was ill with fever.
I'd still come to you.

Speaker 83 (04:20:42):
When my old wife was dying, I left her side
to tends your wife a childbirth, Harry Marsham.

Speaker 18 (04:20:47):
All this, all this have done for you. And now
I swear to you that this boy is in us.

Speaker 83 (04:20:55):
I swear it on the face you have in me
because you've given me throughout the years. My father and
my grandfather before me were.

Speaker 18 (04:21:06):
Doctors and miss County and you know that I don't
take an oath like that, lifeless, without thought reason.

Speaker 83 (04:21:14):
I'm handing Hiram over the sheriff. He'll stay in the
county jails at the end gust tomorrow afternoon. I made
an oath before you all, and I'll stand by it tomorrow.

Speaker 18 (04:21:52):
It's okay, Hiram. I'm finish dressing that wound.

Speaker 11 (04:21:54):
Now they're going.

Speaker 18 (04:21:56):
They believe you got it.

Speaker 67 (04:21:59):
Man.

Speaker 18 (04:22:00):
We'll get the inquest over tomorrow afternoon. I have to
drive you over to the sheriff.

Speaker 11 (04:22:04):
Now, Iram lets you show the sheriff that key.

Speaker 18 (04:22:07):
I know the corner is not likely to believe that
you picked it up under some bushes.

Speaker 44 (04:22:12):
You know I didn't do this thing.

Speaker 18 (04:22:14):
If I didn't, you think I'd have stood out there
and said what I did.

Speaker 83 (04:22:18):
Yes, then I have as much faith in your innocence
as I have faith in the perpetuity of human folly
and bestiality.

Speaker 18 (04:22:26):
I'm just finished drying this bandage, and you'll be ready
for your trip to the sheriff.

Speaker 11 (04:22:30):
I'm not sorry that novel was burnt.

Speaker 14 (04:22:31):
Do no.

Speaker 11 (04:22:34):
I've learned so much about them, the nature in the
last hour.

Speaker 18 (04:22:38):
It can be pretty mean and horey at times.

Speaker 6 (04:22:41):
No, be magnificent.

Speaker 7 (04:22:45):
Thankstoff.

Speaker 50 (04:23:01):
You've been practicing ever since you graduated, haven't you.

Speaker 6 (04:23:04):
Dog.

Speaker 50 (04:23:04):
I certainly have your father and grandfather for you. That
was a matter foolish stands you took yesterday afternoon. Sure,
I know you have to save high life at all
cars if you'll be finished as a doctorate from now on.

Speaker 18 (04:23:19):
I'm prepared to take that risk. Sheriff.

Speaker 50 (04:23:21):
All these folks trust and admire you. If they find
you wrong in this case, they'll never put their faith
in you again.

Speaker 18 (04:23:29):
You believe the boy is guilty too, don't.

Speaker 50 (04:23:31):
You When you handed me that key yesterday I knew
he was the murderer.

Speaker 18 (04:23:36):
You'd be prepared to send him to the chair on
that evidence alone? A sure?

Speaker 21 (04:23:39):
Sure?

Speaker 18 (04:23:40):
What you can?

Speaker 2 (04:23:42):
A cold.

Speaker 14 (04:23:44):
Now?

Speaker 18 (04:23:44):
I was going to have the windows open because of
the heat. When's the coroner due to arrive to be here?

Speaker 6 (04:23:50):
Now?

Speaker 83 (04:23:51):
I'm gonna ask for the privilege of questioning Hiram and
any other witnesses.

Speaker 18 (04:23:54):
I may choose to call that an order.

Speaker 83 (04:23:56):
It certainly ain't doc that's the lawyer's job. If you
knew the legal code of this county is red, we're
an interested party. You can ask questions of all witnesses
directly involved in the case of murder.

Speaker 18 (04:24:08):
Is that a fact? All you have to do is
ask permission from the coroner.

Speaker 50 (04:24:13):
Didn't you operate on his life last year and saved alive?
Took your operation but successful? Oh no, I can't see
him refusing.

Speaker 7 (04:24:21):
Can you.

Speaker 18 (04:24:30):
Now hire him? I want you to tell us, in
your own words, what happened yesterday morning?

Speaker 87 (04:24:37):
Why I got out of bed before dawn, made myself
some coffee when the sun was starting to rise up,
A dressed and went for a walk.

Speaker 18 (04:24:46):
Went for walk, dawn, young man, What are you a poet?

Speaker 11 (04:24:50):
No, mister Corner, I'm hoping to be a novelist.

Speaker 18 (04:24:53):
Than I father. Streamed on for the redwoods. Once close
to the wedding tree, I.

Speaker 11 (04:25:00):
Didn't see Emily. I didn't see anything there.

Speaker 18 (04:25:03):
And where did you find the key? He draws it
from her? Why I have them removed, Griff Wilson.

Speaker 50 (04:25:12):
Then class maybe flatly unusual, and the doctor Harris is
as in testing.

Speaker 59 (04:25:16):
But I'll not have any other parents from.

Speaker 18 (04:25:18):
The clown, Thank you.

Speaker 87 (04:25:21):
I went across the bridge of the stream. On the
other side, I noticed something glinting. I found the key
here some bushes, and you put.

Speaker 18 (04:25:29):
It in your pocket.

Speaker 11 (04:25:30):
Naturally, I intended to give it to miss Emily that afternoon.

Speaker 18 (04:25:35):
You were well acquainted with her, weren't you.

Speaker 6 (04:25:38):
Yes.

Speaker 87 (04:25:39):
She let me use the library on many occasions at
the college. I even used to take some books back
to my cabin with me. Occasionally I did odd jobs
at the college.

Speaker 18 (04:25:48):
Like attending the furnace and rolling along. Were you fond
of her? I liked her well enough that she was
always very crab.

Speaker 87 (04:25:59):
Almost critic Did you ever take her out? I did
ask her once to see a movie with me, but well,
she refused. I only asked her because she'd been so
nice to me over the book. I wasn't upset or
anything once she turned me down.

Speaker 18 (04:26:19):
I think that will be all higher. Thanks Doctor Harrison.

Speaker 20 (04:26:23):
Now, doctor Harris said, you feeling kind to stand down.

Speaker 2 (04:26:26):
In the line.

Speaker 18 (04:26:27):
No, if you don't mind, I'd like to make some
inquiries about this tea. How well that have you?

Speaker 12 (04:26:33):
Wait?

Speaker 44 (04:26:34):
There's an inscription on the back of it which I
can't just stipher.

Speaker 18 (04:26:39):
I wonder if Professor Porter could oblige when.

Speaker 15 (04:26:42):
You go to the fan Lisa past certainly.

Speaker 59 (04:26:48):
Identify yourselt Lisa Pastor.

Speaker 86 (04:26:51):
I am frank supportive president of Hartwood College. Subject I
teach her apart from my administrative.

Speaker 18 (04:26:58):
Duties is Latin.

Speaker 83 (04:27:00):
Miss Emily Lawson was a grade teacher at the college.
I called you, professor, because this inscription has me beaten.

Speaker 18 (04:27:07):
You know what a doctor is life looks like?

Speaker 86 (04:27:10):
Perhaps I may be an assistant a more by the
ture moras translated very roughly, love endures delayed, A very
curious phrase to be inscribed in a Phi beta kapakey
a professor.

Speaker 15 (04:27:29):
I couldn't pass an opinion on that doctor.

Speaker 44 (04:27:31):
Well, Emily Lawson was only a grade teacher. She didn't
possess the university's degree, did she hardly? And she was
wearing the five Beta Kappakey, one of the highest awards
granted a scholar in the United States.

Speaker 83 (04:27:44):
Now, Ms Corner, I have a list here of old
members of the Phi Beta Kapas Society in this country.

Speaker 18 (04:27:49):
And there's no mention of Emily Lawson.

Speaker 59 (04:27:52):
This ralevant doc path I reckon.

Speaker 86 (04:27:54):
So are you quite sure it is a Phibeta Kapakey.

Speaker 83 (04:27:57):
Well, I noticed that you're a member of that society, Professor,
Perhaps we could compare it with your own. I lost
mine several years ago, and you didn't apply it for
anohing I never bother.

Speaker 18 (04:28:11):
Well, Well, it didn't seem of any importance to him.
After all, I am a member of the society. My
name is inscribed in a list of members.

Speaker 6 (04:28:19):
That is quite sufficient.

Speaker 18 (04:28:21):
You gave your key to Emily loss and didn't you
because you were in love with it? That explains the
inscription on the key itself. Love and your's delay. Now
what sort of delays would that refer to? I wanted
I must appeal to you and go ahead with the questioning, doc.
This is my interesting I.

Speaker 37 (04:28:39):
Insist on being represented by life.

Speaker 18 (04:28:41):
Take very long, professor, love and your delay. You promised
Somemily that she's married. You told her that it would
take some time to get rid of your wife.

Speaker 83 (04:28:55):
After all, a man in your position couldn't face a
scandal like divorce without losing a very you could post.

Speaker 15 (04:29:00):
Indeed, this is a complete fabrication.

Speaker 37 (04:29:03):
There is no tooth in it.

Speaker 83 (04:29:04):
So you told Emily to be patient, told her to wait,
told her that love endures delayed.

Speaker 19 (04:29:10):
Never, I was never interested in them.

Speaker 83 (04:29:12):
Barely three months ago, your wife inherited a large sum
of money, didn't she She did receive a small bequest
you gold forty thousand dollars, a small quest.

Speaker 31 (04:29:23):
I did not love Emily Lawson.

Speaker 18 (04:29:24):
I didn't be supporter.

Speaker 41 (04:29:26):
I believe you.

Speaker 83 (04:29:28):
That's your wife inherited that money. Emily became more than useles.
She became a constant embarrassed. I care only for my wife.

Speaker 18 (04:29:36):
That's what you try to tell Emily. If she wasn't
all happy, I doubt if anybody would be in her place.

Speaker 83 (04:29:42):
After all, you've been stringing her along for a good
many years. Professor and while she could endure some delay.

Speaker 18 (04:29:48):
Her patients couldn't last forever.

Speaker 59 (04:29:50):
I did not kill her rightly, and things.

Speaker 83 (04:29:53):
Came to such a pass that Emily demanded you see
your wife about an avorce Never you tried to fob
her off with talking of a scandal, I would affect
your career.

Speaker 91 (04:30:02):
But by this time Emily had heard about the forty
thousand dollars windfall too, and she suspected that your.

Speaker 18 (04:30:08):
Love for her had cooled somewhere. Mister Corney, you mayn
you had a number of scenes with her, and then
Emily said that she was going to see your wife.
Now this was a very ticklar situation for you. Wasn't
a professor, after all, you hoped to have a.

Speaker 91 (04:30:22):
Share in the spending of that forty thousand dollars, and
your good wife had never suspected for one moment that
you'd been carrying on a romance with that nice, attractive,
quiet refined little grade teacher, Emily Long, What pretty thing?
What pity did you have on Emily when you had
tried to plicate her by arranging and meeting at a
wedding tree the night before last.

Speaker 18 (04:30:40):
I wasn't there.

Speaker 23 (04:30:41):
I was studying in the library.

Speaker 83 (04:30:43):
Ain't no straight away what you meant when you suggested
meeting there. The young couples of this town had slighted
their trust beneath that tree for generations.

Speaker 90 (04:30:52):
She knew then that you intended to marry her. She
waited patiently for you there. The rain meant nothing to her,
for Emily.

Speaker 18 (04:30:58):
Loved you desperately.

Speaker 83 (04:31:00):
As she waited, she carved the heart on the tree,
and then threw the first two strokes of the letter,
the letter F, which is your Christian name, Professor of
Francis Porter. Because she was so tiny, she carved the
middle horizontal scrope first, and that left people.

Speaker 18 (04:31:17):
To imagine that it was the beginning of an h You.

Speaker 89 (04:31:20):
Saw her there, and you saw her inscribing intangible form
this revelation of your love, and you strangled her.

Speaker 7 (04:31:27):
No.

Speaker 18 (04:31:28):
As she filled beneath your hands, you.

Speaker 83 (04:31:29):
Noticed the key which you had given to her, and
in the blind fury, you tore it from her throat.

Speaker 18 (04:31:34):
And ran down the path.

Speaker 14 (04:31:35):
No car.

Speaker 18 (04:31:36):
You hurl that key into the bushes in your terror
stricken flight, and that's where him found it.

Speaker 89 (04:31:41):
The next morning, you old her for your share of
forty thousand dollars didn't give a professor.

Speaker 18 (04:31:49):
What hey when I don't worry, Sheriff, don't worry. You'll
come to later. We're sure he's not there. Quite sure
that was Redmick.

Speaker 7 (04:32:00):
Doc.

Speaker 18 (04:32:00):
We knew you get the truth all along, Doc, we
knew you were a man to find the kidder. Even
the porter never didn't like him, always think he was
the wrong man for that job.

Speaker 44 (04:32:07):
A first, get out of my way.

Speaker 18 (04:32:11):
And wait, he's got a hard man, Doc Harris, I
did not tell you I'm I'd hire him time we
took ourselves home.

Speaker 11 (04:32:20):
I haven't got a home yet, burned yesterday.

Speaker 18 (04:32:23):
Remember there's a spare.

Speaker 6 (04:32:25):
Room at my place. You can live there.

Speaker 18 (04:32:29):
I don't want to pose him well, I want to
keep an eye on you.

Speaker 83 (04:32:33):
Items like being a novelist is a muddy, dangerous occupation
in these parts.

Speaker 11 (04:32:40):
We'll go out this way, get away from the crowd.

Speaker 7 (04:33:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 92 (04:33:03):
A closing door finishes the story. Next week another key
will open another door to another story. Romance or adventure
all start when a door is unlocked, sighed.

Speaker 2 (04:33:21):
The key.

Speaker 4 (04:33:48):
Well take you now to the line up. Hi, many

number assigned to the prisoner as I call his name.

The officers who took your name will assist you. They're
seated among you. Please bet prop with your questions or identifications.
When the prisoners leave here, they are sense of the
washroom and dress back into their jail clothes. It makes
it quite difficult to bring them back after they leave here.
The questions I ask these suspects. I'm really to get

much attention to their answers as they often lie. Bring

President of the firm whose name was cut out of

That's right, Lieutenant, is.

Still he knew our payday and remembered it wasn't today,
so listed back to call me.

Speaker 7 (04:49:01):
That whoever cast out things certainly got careless. It looked
like I was.

Hey, Sam, saw the man who killed Godfrey. We think
maybe the man we want is working for you. Jules Harrison. Sure,
of course, he's been with the company for a nearly
ten years. Well, we'd like for you to send for him.

Speaker 17 (04:54:41):
Please, all right, William, would you ask Dus Harrison to
come in with Yes, sir, what makes you think it
was Harrison?

Speaker 7 (04:54:51):
Well, we spotted Godfrey's.

Speaker 95 (04:54:52):
Stolen car in a parking lot. The man who was
driving it went up a fight and was killed. When
we checked his address we found it matched Harrison's.

Speaker 17 (04:55:02):
Maybe this other man was the one who killed Godfrey.

Speaker 7 (04:55:05):
No, old Sam here says he was.

Speaker 2 (04:55:07):
That's that's stiff.

Speaker 18 (04:55:10):
And the Morgue was the one who killed that phone
rolled him down the hill, that's for sure.

Speaker 6 (04:55:17):
Mister Harrison is here, Sam, take a good look at him.

Speaker 7 (04:55:22):
Don't care, mister Martin.

Speaker 2 (04:55:30):
That's a fellow.

Speaker 7 (04:55:32):
That's him under arrest. Harrison. I'm holding you on suspicion
of murder.

Speaker 80 (04:55:39):
That's the fella he pulled the guy out of the
carney rolling down the hill.

Speaker 75 (04:55:43):
Wait a minute, right, ye, gentleman, So what I haven't
done anything?

Speaker 7 (04:55:50):
You know a man named Frank Bishop?

Speaker 21 (04:55:52):
I lived with him.

Speaker 7 (04:55:53):
But why have you know a man named Russell Godfrey?

Speaker 50 (04:55:56):
Sure he used to work here, he got Wait a minute,
you don't think Frank Bishop had Godfrey's calm.

Speaker 7 (04:56:03):
Bishop is dead.

Speaker 4 (04:56:04):
What's that gonna do with me? Bishop?

Speaker 6 (04:56:06):
Just live with me.

Speaker 7 (04:56:07):
One of you made a mistake and cashed one of
those checks on the wrong day. I think it was Bishop.
I think he got scared and tried to skip time.

Speaker 4 (04:56:14):
I don't care what you think. I didn't have anything
to do with this man.

Speaker 7 (04:56:17):
Saw your role. Godfrey's body out of his shad.

Speaker 19 (04:56:20):
Saw you pushed him. This pussed him right over.

Speaker 17 (04:56:23):
We think you planned this whole thing with Bishop. You
get the checks, Bishop forgies them. You've been working here
ten years, haven't you.

Speaker 7 (04:56:31):
Yeah, you'd know just what to do with those checks
if you had a good forger to help you.

Speaker 6 (04:56:35):
How long have you known Bishop.

Speaker 7 (04:56:37):
He's been living with me for the last year. I
took him in the help of the rent.

Speaker 17 (04:56:41):
He should never cast that check, Miran Decasher. I didn't
mean to kill Godfrey.

Speaker 75 (04:56:46):
I waited on the road and he picked me up.

Speaker 17 (04:56:48):
I didn't mean to kill him. Bishop got scared and
needed some money, oh planning, and he ruined it just
by casting that louty check.

Speaker 7 (04:56:57):
Okay, let's go down to the station. I guess it's
just as much my fault.

Speaker 17 (04:57:02):
I didn't mean to kill Godfrey. Things like that happened,
I guess, but I didn't mean.

Speaker 7 (04:57:06):
Okay, let's go jail.

Speaker 2 (04:57:08):
Oh, I hear you.

Speaker 19 (04:57:10):
