- 4:49Speaker 5: Roof all the doors.
- 4:50Speaker 4: There's a murderer to be found, countra Fano, have you

- 5:21Speaker 6: A six month old nephew, who's his guardian? The Emplofanci
- 5:24Joseph himself.
- 5:25Speaker 7: No, no, mister Holmes, I knowed no obvious modive for

- 5:29Speaker 2: Perhaps it was a political crime.
- 5:31Speaker 5: She was a welfare It's a credinal, prominent world face.
- 5:34Speaker 7: It's very possible any night Hills assassins have been active.
- 5:38Speaker 6: In my contributions.
- 5:39Speaker 4: I mean why we have a ballroom full of suspects
- 5:41waiting for us.
- 5:41Speaker 3: So I'm just going to suggest we went back there.
- 5:43We can't find out very much by staying here in.
- 5:45Speaker 6: The library delicate matter. Almost everyone present tonight is known to.
- 5:48Speaker 4: Me personally, and may I suggest that you go back
- 5:50to the ballroom and have the male guests filed past you.
- 5:53The same for questioning anyone whose evening clothes do not
- 5:56fit perfectly?
- 5:57Speaker 2: What's the kind of a man's clothes got to do
- 5:59with it?
- 6:00Speaker 4: Anyone in budget to such a ball as this would
- 6:01naturally have his own tail out. I think, controfrano, if
- 6:04you found a man who had to hire his costume,
- 6:08he might be an impostor, and may well prove to
- 6:10be your assassin.
- 6:23Speaker 6: Mister Holmes, your plan has not been affected so far.
- 6:26Speaker 7: You find one Englishman who is unusually badly dressed, and
- 6:29what do we discover is an Englishman lot whose luggage
- 6:33was lost on the pain.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Is second suspect proved to be a perfectly respectful Viernese
- 6:37doctor whose nasty little child to take the last minute
- 6:40snipp and his tailcoat for the.
- 6:41Speaker 4: Pers And the third was poor that the composer who
- 6:44cannot care for a good dress suit. Hey, well, Contrafano,
- 6:47why not have the next suspect turn in? Poor tuber
- 6:51bringing the next man found he had.
- 6:55Speaker 5: I'm better, I'm but a flight ful of bin muller.
- 7:01Speaker 7: Your name, please, my name is crooning. What do you
- 7:04wish with me? Your name was not on the list
- 7:07of invitation?
- 7:08Speaker 4: Please let me see your right hand hair gronning. You
- 7:10have no hand to touch me. Where did you get
- 7:13these fresh earth stains? You are right? Thumb is pitted
- 7:15in the natives full of Dutch?
- 7:16Speaker 5: What does that?
- 7:17Speaker 4: Poor policeman and I sat while ago? You try to
- 7:19hide your revolver by ramming it into an earth filled flava.
- 7:22You know that revolver p is Comrafano. It will be
- 7:25easy to compare the samples of earth. It will not
- 7:27be necessary.
- 7:28Speaker 3: You admit that you murdered the princess tonight, then certainly
- 7:31I admit it.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Why did you kill her?
- 7:33Speaker 5: She was an aristocrat, she was an oppressor of the poor.
- 7:36Speaker 4: I'm glad I killed her.
- 7:37Speaker 5: One day, I and my party will kill all of you.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Pill the a. Put down that revolver, shoot him like
- 7:42the doctor.
- 7:43Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, Canrafano even you can't take
- 7:45the law in your own hands.
- 7:47Speaker 5: Why do you not shoot me?
- 7:48Speaker 2: I'm not a fatal tie.
- 7:49Speaker 4: I haven't taken a vase.
- 7:50Speaker 5: Show me.
- 7:55Speaker 6: Thank you for stuck in my hand. Just nod, doctor,
- 8:00But when.
- 8:00Speaker 7: He spoke of Stephanie that way, I could have killed
- 8:02him just as he killed her.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Very understandable, impasser, but wonder would have ruined your life.
- 8:09Speaker 6: My life now that she is dead, my life is empty.
- 8:15Speaker 12: But the right to love and beauty have to exist
- 8:18in a world that no longer holds Stephanie. She was
- 8:21a light in life loveliness now but I am hardly
- 8:28displaying my being's blood, am I? The murder is caught
- 8:32thanks to you and mister Holmton. My life, such as
- 8:35it is, must go on.
- 8:38Speaker 2: Somehow, How the story begins, mister Bardo.

- 12:06He posted of the murder of Stephanie of Panthe Artist
- 12:09or Vanity. The little newspaper editors made quite an issue
- 12:12of the case. They got pressure to bear, and he

- 12:40company tonight, not only the masterful sellow Horse and his
- 12:45colleag doctor Pots, the English fenous of your honery.
- 12:48Speaker 5: But I say that they have a distinguished representative from.
- 12:52Speaker 9: Hungarian Empire, noted for that it was a success on

- 13:29Speaker 4: He's playing the death Force and your guard Watson. Even
- 13:32in the Imperial Palace itself, this twirling tune may invoke murder.
- 13:45Speaker 1: You'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
- 13:47a second, which just gives me time to remind you
- 13:49that if any one wine could be called the perfect
- 13:52wine for almost any occasion, that one wine would be
- 13:55Petrie California's she Patri sherry is not only a fine
- 13:59before dinner wine, but it's wonderful after dinner too, And
- 14:03of course when you're at attaining or guests drop in,
- 14:06whether in the afternoon or evening, there's nothing better than
- 14:09a glass of Patrie sherry.
- 14:11Speaker 5: And it's comforting to know that you can serve Patrie.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Sherry proudly because the name Patrie is the proudest name
- 14:17in the history of American wines.
- 14:21Speaker 5: Doctor Watson, you certainly left me hanging on.
- 14:23Speaker 1: A cliff that time he broke off your story just
- 14:26as the Hungarian composers started to play his ill fated
- 14:29Walls to the Emperor Christ Joseph.
- 14:31Speaker 4: What happened the time, my boy?
- 14:33Speaker 2: Fortunately nothing happened.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Jehomer completed his composition without a parent incident. Shortly afterwards,
- 14:39we attended a banquet that was given an odd honor,
- 14:41A banquet concluded with a rather curious ceremony which he
- 14:45presented Cholock Holmes for the medal.
- 14:47Speaker 2: To commemorate the services are no matter.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Finally, shortly after ten o'clock, I remember Holmes and I
- 14:55together with Count Frano of the Royal Chambers, and started
- 14:58to descend the sparals decade.
- 15:04Speaker 6: You were greatly an tonight, mister Holmes.
- 15:07Speaker 7: I've only known, as Imperial Highness to make three such
- 15:10presentations before, and they were all through my own country.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Much made another.
- 15:16Speaker 4: The Emperor's most kind. I can't help feeding that he
- 15:18over evaluated myself, being unusual in modest homes, perhaps because
- 15:22I feel that my visit here is incmplete until I've
- 15:25solved the death loss murders.
- 15:27Speaker 7: I hope you'll be able to stay in Vienna long
- 15:29enough to do that, I confess I am at my vidcent.
- 15:32Speaker 4: I've been giving the matter a great deal of thought. Countratno,
- 15:35I have a plan for trapping the killer. It's in
- 15:38rather an embryonic stage at the moment, but pipes of
- 15:42the otel tonight I expected to develop it thoroughly. I
- 15:44shall call your office in the morning and explain it
- 15:46to you.
- 15:46Speaker 7: I shall be reading a visit eagerly. One more of
- 15:49these murders in the newspaper. Outcry might become so loud
- 15:52that I should have to resign my post as.
- 15:54Speaker 4: Chief of Police.
- 15:54Speaker 3: And hope it made that daring gestion and played the
- 15:57death walls tonight.
- 15:58Speaker 2: It proved one thing. It's not in valible. The death
- 16:01of a beautiful woman doesn't always follow.
- 16:03Speaker 5: The playing of the melody and the two do.
- 16:05Speaker 4: But yes, back a night video. There is a figure
- 16:09here stumped on the landing.

- 16:55one that admitted shooting your your fiancee Calfano.
- 16:59Speaker 7: My as I could do to keep my hands off
- 17:01him in your life here, doctor, But mister Holmes insisted
- 17:04that I ask you just the same.
- 17:06Speaker 4: I ISSU would tell me his fan.

- 18:43Speaker 7: He persuaded Miss Banks to buy the ox de leaded
- 18:45the wolves well forbidden waltz?
- 18:48Speaker 4: Yes, hair that I felt that if the request came
- 18:50from a young American it might seem quite reasonable, particularly
- 18:53if the requests were accompanied by American talers ground out
- 18:57of the faces of the poor.
- 18:58Speaker 11: You are being unpleasant to me, aren't you?
- 19:03Speaker 2: Thank you your wals?
- 19:04Speaker 7: How the death was mister Holmes, This is against the law.
- 19:08How that waltz is forbidden by imperial the Cree. Do
- 19:10no less, my deacount.
- 19:11Speaker 4: I employ you not to arrest the orchestra leader until
- 19:13after the waltz is competed, in which.
- 19:15Speaker 11: Case, since I requested it and it's still playing, I
- 19:18like a partner. Will you dance with me? Captain Fano,
- 19:21I'm sorry, spanks.
- 19:22Speaker 6: Book for this melody. I shall never dance again.
- 19:25Speaker 11: Oh how about you, doctor Wals?
- 19:28Speaker 5: Like that?
- 19:29Speaker 3: I'm afraid I'm not his life on my my feet
- 19:31as I used to be. In any case, I was
- 19:34never much of a hand of the wolves.
- 19:35Speaker 2: See Polka's more on my line.
- 19:38Speaker 11: Me I'm getting an inferiority carton.
- 19:40Speaker 6: Please not, miss Banks.
- 19:41Speaker 7: You'll observe that the general public seems singularly unwilling to dance.
- 19:45Tool Not one couple has ventured onto the floor.
- 19:47Speaker 5: How can you blame them? The ones before that, na
- 19:50mean death? How can you blame them?
- 19:52Speaker 11: I'm not afraid, after all, her whole vas it's your
- 19:54own music. I'll dance with you.
- 19:57Speaker 5: You're most kindless, bank and courageous.
- 20:00Speaker 10: But to be a partner of the only woman on
- 20:02the floor would mean ruin an admission of failure.
- 20:04Speaker 4: My third refusal.
- 20:06Speaker 11: I'm a walter.
- 20:07Speaker 5: No, my dear miss thanks. Yeah, this is the cats
- 20:09their fate. But I claimed simple groaning. I will dance
- 20:13with you, missus millions.
- 20:15Speaker 4: Less your hear groaning.
- 20:16Speaker 11: And I assure you my father does not grind the
- 20:18faces of the poor, just grind the faces.
- 20:20Speaker 5: Of the stop for it's suicide.
- 20:22Speaker 4: I think not.
- 20:23Speaker 5: I think so, and I'll not stay here to watch it.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Whether there was the offer.
- 20:28Speaker 6: You're not very doctor.
- 20:29Speaker 4: I should keep an eye on him, yes, and we
- 20:31will keep an eye on both of them. Come on watching.
- 20:35He's leaving the room as count panel has deserted his
- 20:38trail and a slip behind one of those pillows.
- 20:40Speaker 5: Good Lordie, he's drawing on a.
- 20:41Speaker 4: Vol lay Watson. He's a man.
- 20:44Speaker 3: He's telling it on himself. I still can't believe at home,
- 21:00not the fact that.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Count Frano blew his brains out, but the fact that
- 21:03he was a murderer.
- 21:04Speaker 4: Yes, I was slow to believe it too old chaff,
- 21:06and I blame myself a consequence. Two things should have
- 21:09been instantly apparent about the madman who killed beautiful women
- 21:12when he heard the hallback waltz. Firstly, he must have
- 21:14had some motivation which drove him to such an atch.
- 21:17Speaker 3: Second day, mister Kellan evolved with him at all times,
- 21:19since he was invariably armed on the occasion presented.
- 21:22Speaker 4: Itself exactly, and that factor made me think of the
- 21:24police official none across. I saw of Frano's motivation. He
- 21:27loved the princess Stefanie Delly. Her death and his arms
- 21:30was a psychological shock that was more than his mentality
- 21:34could stand.
- 21:34Speaker 3: And when he heard that music, it reminded him of
- 21:36the dead princess and cost him to kill.
- 21:39Speaker 4: That's right, Hopella, you would recall that when he said
- 21:42to us Aftersconce's death. Not right do love and beauty
- 21:46have to exist in the world that no longer holds Stefanie.
- 21:49When he heard the music, he couldn't bear to think
- 21:51that other loveliness existed, and so well he destroyed it.
- 21:54But who killed the princess Stefanil The nan who was
- 21:57first arrested for it had Gurney. He admitted it after
- 21:59the seruasion when the police arrived, taking back to prison
- 22:02in the carriage that just took come for the front
- 22:04of his Body's shocking to.
- 22:05Speaker 3: Think that seven innocent women have been murdered before this
- 22:08case is solved.
- 22:09Speaker 4: Yes, the fact that there will be a constant reproach
- 22:12to me, I assure you, Oh, I didn't mean that,
- 22:14my dear fellow.
- 22:14Speaker 3: We weren't even in Vienna went five with the killings.
- 22:16Speaker 4: Papillo, Hello, here comes miss Banks.
- 22:18Speaker 11: Mister Holmes. What happened to that? From the little man
- 22:20who danced with me?
- 22:21Speaker 10: Grinning?
- 22:22Speaker 4: He went to prison, Miss Banks, he was a murderer.
- 22:25Speaker 11: Well, I must say, this is a strange kind of
- 22:27a party you asked me to, mister Holmes. One of
- 22:29the guests blows his brains out, and the other the
- 22:32only man who dances with me turns out to be
- 22:34a murderer. I see now my father sent me to Europe.
- 22:37Anything like this could never happen in Wyoming.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Look o'clock, who was walking out in front of the orchestra.
- 22:46Speaker 10: Ladies, one gentleman, I've almost thought about Pe to last
- 22:49show you upon the world of the.
- 22:50Speaker 5: Gradinglish detective that never leams. So I knew won't be
- 22:55not topic of a plumbella.
- 23:01Speaker 13: Heforth, it's melody would be for life and love and laugh.
- 23:06I ordered the bottle of the finest potcase to build table.
- 23:10Raise your glasses and place me as I now coomed
- 23:13up my world.
- 23:14Speaker 5: Bring a glass from the case of death, say doctor,
- 23:44I really liked that story. That was a baff, wasn't it?
- 23:48Speaker 2: A highly placed police official as the last person in
- 23:50the world you think you'll do murder? I must confess
- 23:53I wasn't of so much help.
- 23:55Speaker 4: Home told me that case.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Don't let that worry your doctor at are all homes?
- 24:00Almost missolving it himself?
- 24:03Speaker 3: It was, but it certainly was one of the most
- 24:05interesting cases that I was ever connected with.
- 24:08Speaker 5: I know what you mean.
- 24:09Speaker 1: You know I came across quite an interesting case myself
- 24:12the other day, right in my own house.
- 24:14Speaker 4: Oh, it's interesting.
- 24:15Speaker 5: What of case sherry? That's right, a case of Petrie
- 24:20California's sherry. You see.
- 24:22Speaker 1: I buy it by the case doctor, because that Petrie
- 24:24wine is really extraordinary. But all Petrie wine is unusual wine,
- 24:29unusually good because the Petrie family has been making wine
- 24:33for generations. Because this is so, and because the Petrie
- 24:37business has been owned and operated by the Petrie family
- 24:40ever since its beginning, is today the largest independent, family
- 24:44owned wine company in America. Naturally, the name Petrie on
- 24:47a bottle of wine is more than a trademine. It's
- 24:51the personal assurance of the Petrie family. Every drop of
- 24:54wine in that bottle is good wine, naturally good wine,
- 24:58because Petrie took time to bring you to good wide.
- 25:09Speaker 4: Tonight.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes Adventure was written by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher,
- 25:14and was suggested by an incident in Sir Arthur Conan
- 25:16Doyle's story. The Adventure of the Illustrious Client Music is
- 25:20by Dean Fostler. Mister Rathbourne appears through the courtesy of
- 25:24Metro Goldwyn Mayor, and mister Bruce through the courtesy of

- 25:57Speaker 8: At first, when hare Grooning confessed to the killing of
- 26:01the Princess von Kran, I didn't believe it. When the
- 26:05other women were killed, I felt sure that hair Groaning
- 26:08was innocent. I at least suspected Count Referano of having
- 26:12committed the other murders. But then that's exactly what Dennis
- 26:15Green and Anthony Boucher wanted. Don't you think.
- 26:24Speaker 14: The two episodes you have just heard, The Out of
