2:54
Master detectives someone turning down Right here, you got your gun? I'm not
3:16
part of the what is my husband's writer? He's the murderer we've been looking
3:21
for. Now for the Case of a Hermit Thrush. Today's exciting adventure starring
3:30
Lawnclock as Nick Carter, brought to you by a new post war all Dutch
3:34
cleanser. Our story begins outside an improving napis, which seventy years ago was
3:39
considered beautiful and luxurious. Today, with its boarded windows and air of decay,
3:45
it is ugly and arminable. Appalled. The s English looking man stands
3:47
on the dark porch of the mansion, banging away with a heavy bronzeknocker.
3:58
Do you hear me? Now? I'm going on a police was good?
4:02
What's the night sleep? And here you are off? So you've got to
4:06
help me get into this house? Are you crazy? That's mister nis Kamanough's
4:11
house. Nobody goes in there, but Kavanaugh locked himself up on there fifteen
4:15
years ago and he's never come out. I know that. But more he
4:17
don't let nobody in, nobody except his housekeeper and his lawyer. But I'm
4:23
otis Kevanaugh's lawyer, Leonard Kelsey. You say you're his lawyer. Send,
4:27
I've got to get in type his house, even if I have to break
4:30
it while you're not breaking in this and not as long as I've got anything
4:32
to say about it. But I'm afraid mister keavanois meant with follows play of
4:35
some kind. What makes you think that I phoned here half an hour ago.
4:39
Offic Eleanor Drew. That's mister Kevanoi's housekeeper answered the phone so hot.
4:43
She was very excited. He said that she and mister Keanaugh had been quarreling
4:46
and she refused to let me speak to him. Eh. Then when I
4:49
called back a few minutes later, no one answered the phone. That is
4:55
funny seeing his time if the Kavanaugh never goes out of the house, Officer
4:58
Peece, you is a woman of viol He hates mister Kavanaugh, even though
5:00
she continues to work for him. Well, we've got to get him to
5:03
you. She may have killed him. Did you try it all? Of
5:06
course, not at all? With kept block, Officer, I M wait,
5:11
no, ain't block. Now, Hey, maybe something funny is going
5:15
on in here. Hold on, let's have a look. Yeah, let's
5:15
except me find the like is no he oh he small And it looks like
5:25
you've been worrying about the wrong party. It's the housekeeper that's met with file
5:28
play mister Kelthany. She's been murdered. Ke mu tell me the identity of
5:40
the murderer is quite clear. His identity, yes, but not He's clear
5:44
about it in other words, or do you want Nick to do is to
5:46
find out as Kavanaugh is that at mister Kelsey's pretas leave this book. The
5:49
police are quite capable when it comes to locating missing person's kelty, especially in
5:54
a case like this. They can't see many places where Otis Kavanaugh can hide.
5:58
Where'd you say that this book? That's a He's been cut off and
6:00
everybody for the last fifteen years. I remember hearing about him when I was
6:04
a kid. Yeah, I locked himself up in that old place that God
6:06
to the broken heart, didn't they? Yes, mister Kevanaugh was jolted by
6:10
the young woman he intended to marry. He's been a recluse ever since.
6:12
Oh wasn't He also digested getting a career as a senior. I know the
6:15
tabloids always referred to him as a hermit thrust. That's right. It was
6:18
on the concert stage. Build is a high society ten. Yes, that's
6:21
right. Now he's one of the murder What a wasted career, Yes,
6:28
mister Cotton, I think it's tremendously important that we'll just be pound quickly you
6:32
do, why, frankly? To prevent more murders. I don't believe.
6:36
Oh this Kavanaugh is seen. No no, no, man who locks himself
6:41
in a gloomy mansion and refuses to come out can be in full position of
6:44
his faculties. But I'm very much afraid that though this arrangement has become permanent,
6:48
in violent and there's real dangerous, it isn't caught my point. What
6:54
do you say, mister Carter? Very well, mister Kelsey, I'll do
6:57
my level best to find him, and I hope it won't be too late.
7:10
So that's the kavan On mansion. How long is this houseman brought it
7:15
up this way? Causey they ever? Suis winning too? Secuse him?
7:18
And you and miss Drew were the only ones of Simon all those fifteen years.
7:23
That's the only one. Oh that's Madison. Ah, hi, Maddie,
7:26
we'll all be What are you doing here? Why mister Kelsey here hired
7:30
me to lend a hand on the Drew killing any objection? A lot of
7:32
good to do me to object? Okay, come on in. Thanks Maddie
7:38
for the cordial invitation. Oh this is really a journey old place, isn't
7:44
it. Yeah, this Drew dame may have called herself a housekeeper, but
7:47
brother she never kept out and she result his private secretary is cook and his
7:51
nurse as well. How she hated him. She hated him. You have
7:56
to continue to work for him. Rather, this was a victis She wasn't
8:01
the miser mist Peter her very well, I see, I was about himatic
8:05
and the next room, next year old, I'll say, is that out
8:07
an alarm for Kavanaugh? Yeah, we got every man on the force on
8:11
the lookout for him. Had a chance that he's hiding somewhere in the house.
8:13
He searched, they were insure the joint from top of the bottom.
8:16
He's none in here. Well, it's here, got it right through the
8:24
heart, isn't here? Yeah, huh yeah, Nick, he won't have
8:30
any reason to believe it wasn't Kavanaugh who killed him. Which there's only one
8:33
way that adds up. Now, Look, Kavanaugh don't budge out of the
8:37
house for fifteen years, and then when he does bow, he leaves Uponty
8:41
behind. To me, it's opening shut. Well, that sounds reasonable,
8:43
Natt, especially since mister kelsey'spoken is too. Just a few moments before he
8:48
died and she and Kavanaugh were having a quall you know what they were quarreling
8:50
about. Kelsey. No, she didn't say, Uh, hey, why
8:54
did you call Kavanaugh? Oh? It was about his once me ammuity chick.
8:58
Is that it? Yes, mister Kevin O. His father left his
9:01
money tied up in trust and to suceed in worth it. Oh. I
9:05
called her late at night. I meant nothing to Miss Kevanaugh, and I'd
9:09
been working late at my office, so I phoned to see whether he'd mind
9:13
if I stopped by with his chick seeing a tip tomorrow morning. Couldn't you
9:16
nail this? Waugh always insisted that I deliver it to it in prison.
9:20
Uh huh, Noddy, did you find the murder weapon? A lot of
9:24
sign of it? Least what about fingerprints? Boys will work it over.
9:26
We'll have a report by more god. Well, what is if the only
9:31
question is where Kavanaugh could be hiding him? Well, I might make one
9:35
guess. We fold this in Miss Drew's pocketbook. By the telegram. Let's
9:39
see, there's the d of Tavanah. There's arriving steamship one of the day
9:46
on Monday, Monday. For that's today, I'll go straight to Granger's tourist
9:50
camp on Highway forty seven, must see you Sian Oliver? Who's Oliver Coffey?
9:56
Way, I don't know, mister Cuttter. I never heard this Kavanaugh
10:01
mentioned anyone by that name. Well, whoever he is, what made him
10:03
think Cava would leave the house even the meeting somewhere? I don't know,
10:07
Maddy. There's one place where we might get the answer. Sure, stranger's
10:11
Choris care right, come on, let's go Lock, Come on, Maddy,
10:24
step on it. Look, Nick, I got it up to sixty
10:26
now I want to get there in one piece. Okay, he hadn't been
10:31
the fourth headed about Corning headquarters before we left the Kavanaugh place. Nick,
10:33
How many times do I have to tell you I ain't one of youse private
10:37
eyes. When I start going places, I got to let people know.
10:41
Well, I suppose you're right, Maddy, Nick, what if you set
10:43
the simon? If you get this Kavani? Oh, maybe we should have
10:48
brought Chelsea along to identifyingent. I don't mind. I'd rather work without Kelsey
10:52
around. Why you think he's nicked Stepan, I didn't say that on Mike.
10:56
The whole deals as plain as the nose on my face. Even know
11:00
the day how to fight Kavanaugh pucker and then beat it. And that's that.
11:03
Maybe, Mary, maybe, But then again, Maddy, look at
11:07
so headlights coming out in that side. He's cutting right hold of us,
11:11
storm shooting at us watch shoes, but the fire shot out from under him.
11:28
Matt. He tries to control the Coreneal mobile, but it's too late.
11:31
Hand with Nick and Patsy huddle together in the back seat, the spinning
11:35
car plunges into the bitch at the side of the road. We'll see what
11:37
happens next in just a minute, and I'll back to the case of a
11:46
Hermit thrush. Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought you by a new post war
11:52
all that splendor. As we pick up our story, Nick, Patsy and
11:56
Sergeant Mattheson are just recovering from the shock of having their cars skid off road
12:00
to high speed. You all right, all life? Look at this bump?
12:07
What life is? Oh goy? Well, thanks Heaven. Whoever was
12:11
shooting at us wasn't a better shot. I don't think those shots were meant
12:15
to kill us. I was supposed to delay our arrival at Granger's camp.
12:18
We certainly succeeded. We'll have to wait until morning to get out of this
12:22
street. We can't wait until morning. I don't want to take accountant having
12:24
a homicidal maniac like Kavanaugh running around ruse. Well, maybe we can hitch
12:28
a ride after Grangers. That's that's what we're going to do, Maddie necessary.
12:31
We'll come in dere and right. Come on, are you the proprietor
12:43
of this purse camp? That's trade? I love, it's grangeous. My
12:48
name is Nick Carter. This is Sergeant Mathieson of the homicide squad. Yeah,
12:52
we're looking for a man who may have checked in here sometime yesterday.
12:56
What was your fellow's name? Oliver? Was that he's last name? Oh?
13:00
No, you have a registered sure, he's here's the book you books
13:05
Timmy used to do see anything new? Yeah? Niles, Oliver Niles.
13:13
And that's the only Oliver here. Where is he in? Like the cabin
13:20
twenty six twenty sixty street on deck? Listen one till you lift. Thanks
13:24
Granger. Okay, we shall see what we shall see. That's the Niles.
13:41
That's the Nile those hope next. Nobody in there wanna be? The
13:46
lights are on? How about looking in the windows? Thank you? Dumping
13:52
for two lighters. I hope not. You can see inner this window here?
13:56
Have you seen? Oh it's smoke that the guy laying on the floor,
14:03
he looked a look at his face. Well that answers your question,
14:07
Patter, we are too late. That man's dead. And you say you're
14:22
not sure whether this man is Oliver or Niles Lander, No, no,
14:26
I used to cut in. You sure can't tell much from his face,
14:31
not after somebody shot him point blank with a shotgun. Hasn't been dead morning
14:37
hour, Nick, Only there was some sort of identification on him. Take
14:41
a look around, will you pat to go through everything? Who would gonna
14:43
find? Okay, I don't get it, Nick, We already know who
14:48
he is, Dewey, Why he was Oliver Niles? Of course? Perfectly
14:52
clear? What happened? Yeah, well Kavanaugh found out where we were heading
14:56
and beat us to the punch, took a couple of pot shops abbus on
14:58
the road, and came out here and knocked rope Niles. God, why,
15:01
Maddy, why? I don't know? He probably don't know that himself,
15:05
didn't you yourself? Call him a homicidal media that's what? Oh a
15:13
watch I see well something a great bullet Nick, Yeah, from m V
15:20
to O C. Christmas nineteen thirty two. That stands for Otis Kavanaugh.
15:26
Well, Maddy, what's this do to you? A neat middle theory?
15:31
Oh brother, it's not sit into a cockcat, Nick. This guy ain't
15:35
Oliver Niles at all. It's Otis Cavanaugh. Oh boy, we finally caught
15:39
up with him. Nick Carti's office, Patty Bowne, this is it.
15:56
I've just come from the morgue. Oh yes, mister Kelsey, will you
15:58
tell mister Carter there's no doubt in my mind whatsoever about the men's identity it
16:03
is I see. Well, thank you to Kelsey at Helen. Well,
16:10
Mike, it looks as though you're out of a job, kelsee if enough,
16:14
uh huh. And since we were hired just to find Kavanaugh, it
16:17
looks as though we were about to be fired. That's me. I don't
16:19
like I like it one little bit. What do you mean? Something wrong
16:23
someplace? I don't see what's wrong? Tell me again, what happens that
16:29
it's not from scratching. I think you will see. Well, Cavanaugh had
16:33
a quarrel with Eleanor Drew and killed it on when he got out for the
16:36
tourist camp, planning to lie low there. When he found out we were
16:40
heading for the same place, he tried to stop us. But how did
16:41
he find out where we were going? And why didn't he kill us when
16:47
he had a chance. Well, and why didn't Nile shoot Cavanaugh in the
16:49
face with a shotguns? The killers usually do that. No, of course
16:53
not no, No, I'll pass you. There are too many holes,
16:56
too many murders and attempted murders for no apparent there's something missing. I want
17:03
to find Nick out the Tatty Bone. It's me, Patsy. Let me
17:07
talk to Nick. I suppose you know Leonard Kelsey identified the body? Nick?
17:14
Yeah, yeah, I just thought I checked with you before I gave
17:17
the score to the papers. And what about the fingerprint fingerprints? Yes,
17:21
you have a report in the ones you boys found in the Kavanaugh house.
17:23
Oh those yeah? Any of them? Driver with a dead man? Oh
17:26
they don't make none of them. No. I don't see why you're getting
17:30
so hot and bothered about that. After all, the body's been identified by
17:33
the man who knew Kavanaugh. Best luck matters. How could Kavanaugh live in
17:37
that place for fifteen years and not leave a single fingerprint. Hey, you've
17:42
got something there. I think I have, and I don't think we've found
17:47
otis Kavanaugh. This Kavanaugh mansion is even spook here in the daytime, and
18:03
it isn't nice. I don't worry. We want to go to be here
18:04
long enough to take a look through the Tavanaugh private papers, see if we
18:07
can find out who is Oliver Niles. Maybe maybe, yes, this looks
18:15
might have been a study in here. Wind that crack and the shudder,
18:21
Oh, I could have worn out of a man's eyes looking into that.
18:26
There's no one there now, m Well, maybe the creepy old house is
18:33
making me seeking to day. Okay, all right, let's have a look
18:37
in this file cabinet. Oh, my goodness, makes millions to tape us.
18:44
It'll take us for rabbit to go through all those. They're all old
18:47
too, turning yellow ones. Oh. Here just scraped to me the reviews,
18:55
the critics comments on Kavanaugh's day. Here are the concert to me back
19:00
here at some society college. Oh, here's a picture of the whole family.
19:04
Yes, readings from left right, Missus Roger Hobart, Mister Roger Hobart,
19:11
mister, and missus James Niles Niles. Yes, and the two sons
19:15
mister Oliver Niles and mister Otis kept Otis karenof the two sons, what does
19:22
that mean? That's what it says, mister and missus James Niles and the
19:26
two sons mister Oliver Niles and mister Otis Cavanaugh. Oliver Niles and Otis Kavanaugh
19:33
were half brothers. Right. ODIs Kavanaugh's mother must have been married twice,
19:37
the second time to a man named James Niles. Of course, look at
19:41
that picture Otison's happened. It looks very much alive. What these means that
19:48
the man we founded the tourist hands could have been Oliver Niles, Yes,
19:52
could have been that. It also thinks how Chelsey could have been mistaken.
19:56
I see it may explain a lot of miss to find out Tavanaughs. If
20:00
we don't, who could be calling up here? I'm going to find out.
20:10
I don't wonder where that porn is. It's over there in the alcohol
20:14
end of the stairs. Oh, yes, I say it. I'll get
20:15
it. Hello, I warn you to give up your investigation. Who is
20:22
it? If you don't, you'll meet the same fate my housekeeper met your
20:29
heartprop Yes, mine. This is Otis Kavanaugh. Hello, Hello, come
20:37
up? And you heard what he said? Cavan must have That must be
20:42
his face. I saw up the window. Then he went somewhere in your
20:45
box. Wait wait wait, yes, of course is come on you got
20:52
a hurry. Where are we going to trying to find Otis Kavanaugh? I
20:56
think I know where he is? You crazy? Oldis Kavanaugh couldn't be down
21:10
here in the selling You just talked to him on the phone. That wasn't
21:12
Cavanaugh. How do you know it wasn't You don't remember how Oldis Kavanaugh was
21:18
billed as a conscious singer. Yes, is a high society of Tanner's.
21:22
What was it likely that a man who had John Tanner could speak in a
21:25
deep bass voice like the one we heard on the phone. But that still
21:29
doesn't prove that Kavanaugh is down here. Maybe he doesn't prove it that We're
21:33
going to keep on looking. I have a feeling that the way ahead of
21:41
thee I want down? Yeah, you done? I'm not My count is
21:52
right. It's the murderer we've been looking for. Nicking Patty Wait Pensiley in
22:04
the basement of the Old Kavanaugh mansion while someone descends the Fellar stairs, Whether
22:08
or not gets the killer and who he is we'll find out in just a
22:11
minute. Now for the conclusion of the case of a hermit crush. Today's
22:21
adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by a new post war all that's cleanser
22:26
huddled closely together in the basement of the old Kavanaugh mansion making tactic weight.
22:30
If someone slowly descends the stairs here, I think you already know it.
22:42
Why is not Otis Kavanaugh and all mister Keltys come on in, Kelsey and
22:52
it's bowing too. What the world are you doing down here? Is I'm
22:56
looking for Otis Kavanaugh? Is this You'll never find him here? You're mistaken,
23:02
Kelsey. You found was great? Oh he is very down here,
23:07
Yes, Nicole cad he's got a gun. My hunch was right at Kelsey.
23:11
You and Ella Drew buried Cavanaugh down here fifteen years ago, knowing that
23:15
won't do you any good. Now got cover and I'm going to kill you.
23:22
I stand a sport. You have my secret now, that's why you
23:25
killed Miss Drew and Oliver Niles. All right, I did Killdren Does matter
23:33
that you two know now, because neither one of you will live to testify
23:37
against me. I'm not so sure of that, Gelty, Okay, sagean
23:41
madisone. It can come out. Now here's your killer. That's the same
23:52
sus your fell for an old day. Looking around when you closed out in
23:56
Madison, it wasn't within five miles at this place. They do it nearly.
24:02
Our next job is to get our murderous little friend here down her headquarters
24:04
and had him booked for murder. We'll make you well, right, I
24:15
got a complete confession from Leonard Kelsey. Good, just as your figure,
24:19
Nick, the whole story was a phony. Otis Kavanaugh never locked himself up
24:22
in that house fifteen years ago. He died fifteen years ago. Yeah,
24:27
apparently it was a natural death pat thing by Kelsey, who was the executive
24:32
of the Kavanaugh State, saw a chance to keep on collecting Kavanaugh's large monthly
24:34
annuity. That's true. But where did Eleanood drook me? Well, Kelsey
24:40
apaly needed her help, first to burry Kavanaugh a cellar after he died,
24:44
and second to maintain the fiction that orders for the live all those years.
24:48
Well, I shouldn't see why he killed eleanor drew all right, I'll get
24:49
back to that in just a minute. If he Oliver and Niles had been
24:52
living in South America for twenty years. Yeah, so he, like everybody
24:56
else, thought Kavanaugh was alive. But then when he returned to this country,
25:00
Kelsey's game was threatened. He had to kill Niles, but the group
25:03
game wouldn't go for that. That's right. She probably figured that fraud was
25:06
one thing, murder another. So they quarreled and Kelsey killed it, and
25:08
he saw a privot out for himself by claiming Kavanaugh killed it. All he
25:12
had to do was murder Niles and identify Niles's body as Kavanaugh. That way
25:15
the case would be closed. He thought the reason he came to me was
25:18
to be sure Nile's body would be found. Yeah, but that telegram in
25:22
the true woman's purse, didn't you know that would be found? Yeah,
25:26
that's where he slipped up. Yeah, I thought she destroyed it. And
25:30
Chelsea was the only one who could have known who were head with sall the
25:32
tourist camp, wasn't he? That's right? And then there was that watch
25:36
was the only identification in the cabin. Sure Kelsey claimed it there and that's
25:40
what made me ask myself why somebody wanted me to think that Otis Kavanagh was
25:44
dead? But what about that phone? Colin? Why did Chelsea call you
25:47
because it he succeeded in killing me. He wanted you to testify that I
25:51
had been threatened by cavanav Oh, Nick, I'll never forgive you for one
25:57
thing. Why what's that that be? Not telling me that Otis was dead
26:00
and for now pointing out his grave in the cellar. I didn't find his
26:03
grave, that was all ablove. Sure well, I thought I was right,
26:08
but I didn't know. I had to get Kelsey to fip his hands
26:11
first. I'm sure Kavanaugh's grave is down there now, Yeah it is.
26:15
Nick. We's gonna look good for you, Maddy. But Pety, don't
26:18
ever accuse me of pulling out on you again. After all, you wouldn't
26:22
be able to stand me if I were the kind of guy knows everything all
26:23
the time. Nick Carter Master Detective, produced and directed by Jock McGregor,
26:51
is controrighted by Freeden Smith's Publications Incorporated. Searlotte Manson is featured as Petty.
26:56
Today's stript was written by Ken Pettis and Lou Scopio's original music is played by
27:03
Henry Silvern. This program is fictional and any resemblance to actual persons living or
27:07
dead is currently coincidental. This is Bob Martin saying, when Minnie count use
27:14
new post war all that you cleanser. This is a mutual broadcasting system.
27:45
Welcome back. Well, a nice little case and a good twist with him
27:51
having actually been dead for so many years. Of course, Nick, and
27:55
this episode has to do a double fake out, faking that Argent is on
28:00
his way and also that he knows where the body is. So sometimes Nick
28:04
Carter can just bluff his way through, apparently at any rate. I should
28:08
also mention there were a couple lost episodes between last week's shows and this week's
28:15
the Case of the Bobby Socks Racketeer and the Case of the Curious Countants Countess,
28:21
and we've actually got five lost episodes between this week's show and next,
28:26
so wow, these the episodes are getting kind of sparsely spaced here, all
28:33
right. Well, on to some listener comments and feedback this regarding bold Venture.
28:40
William comments over on Facebook, thank you for accepting my suggestion. Hope
28:45
that others enjoyed this slight departure from a pure detective story and enjoyed the mix
28:49
of mystery and action adventure. Adam's opening comments were most helpful and explaining the
28:55
concept for the Bold Venture radio series. Well, thanks so much, William,
29:00
I'm glad you enjoyed our presentation. Leo comments regarding the episode. While
29:07
I do like this show, was it really necessary for the announcer to keep
29:12
reminding us that it stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Becall, I think we know
29:18
who's starting it. Well, I can only speculate on the reason that that
29:25
is emphasized so much, And that's the reason why I would emphasize it,
29:30
because I think people still even in the nineteen fifties, might go through the
29:36
radio channels to see what was on. And if I didn't know what Bold
29:40
Venture was, I wouldn't stop on a particular station where they said bold Venture's
29:45
back. But if somebody said bold Venture starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Becall,
29:51
that'd be another matter entirely. So I would guess that the reason it was
29:55
repeated is in case somebody tuned in in the middle of the show, they
29:59
would know what they were getting and have a reason to listen to the rest
30:03
of it and maybe check their station times to find out when else it might
30:08
be on. And then finally we have a comment from Joan who says,
30:14
I enjoyed this episode of Bold Venture. I believe I've heard all of the
30:17
shows too. This is a good series. Well thanks Joan, and the
30:22
entire series of Bold Venture is available in pretty good quality audio if you go
30:26
over to archive dot org. It used to be that there were only about
30:30
thirty some episodes circulating a Bold Venture. Now that number is up to fifty
30:37
seven, which is still short of the seventy eight that were made. But
30:41
it's definitely worth listening to and a very interesting series if you're a fan of
30:48
this very powerful Hollywood duo. All right, well, that will do it
30:53
for today. We will be back tomorrow with yours truly, Johnny Doller,
30:59
and then make sure and join us again next Thursday for another episode of Nick
31:03
Carter. In the meantime, I do encourage you to support our listener support
