  Speaker 4: Oh, you mean that the clothes sold in the fen

  Speaker 2: designers in the business, to create designs exclusively for the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Fener's store.

  Speaker 3: Well, I knew Fenrist models couldn't be brought anywhere else

  Speaker 2: But that's the point. They can be now. Oh the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: cut great stores have our exclusive styles that Mark John
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: prices before we even put them on failure. That can't
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: be very profitable. Profitable we've loss of fortunes. And this
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: girl says she knows how our fashions are being pirated
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and who's responsible for.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: It, and she won't tell you who it is.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Tell me she has a gold asked twenty five hundred
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: dollars for the information, And you want me to find
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: out who's stealing your design? No, I want you to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: force Marry Danville to give me that information without paying
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: for it. You mean I have a right to know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and it's heard duty to tell me without blackmailing me.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I want you to scare Scaring girls is out of
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: my line, mister Fenris. You want me to investigate your problems.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Oh so you want to run up a lot of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: investigating fees, do you well? I won't fall for it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not asking you to fall for anything. I'm responsible
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to the board of directors where every dollar I spend.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It isn't my money.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: It's your store, isn't it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Well, it was my father's store. Now it belongs to
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a great many people, and they expect me to show
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: a profit. I can't throw money away on detectives. Well,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: it's probably just as well, mister Fenners. I don't think
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: i'd enjoy working for you anyway, mister Carter. If my
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: secretary were here, i'd have her show you out. Oh
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: we can find our way out. Come on best with pleasure,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: mister miss Carlile. Do you think my office is a
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: public waiting room?
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Mistrake is mit her desk and I have to see
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the fact you do to marry Dandille.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It's none of my business.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: But when you start ransacking my.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Apartment, control yourself with Carlisle. I've done no such things.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Then if you didn't, you know what you hired someone to.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Your accusations are in particularly bad tasting in front about tigers.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Ms Carlyle, h, don't worry about us, mister Fenross. This
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: young lady's outburst hasn't changed my opinion of you a bit.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I think i'd like to talk to Miss Carlyle privately,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: though I forbid it. Oh you do, I certainly do.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: This man's a detective, Miss Carlyle.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Fine, mister detective, if you come down to the sen
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Russ Exclusive Shop, I'd like very much to talk to
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: you privately.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't imagine you'd have a private office like this,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Miss Carlyle.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes, mister Carter, I'm in charge of the Senruss
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Exclusive Shop. But with a job like that, I should
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: think you'd be afraid to antagonize.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Mister Fenruss, wouldn't you hate to be fired? He won't
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: fire me, Miss Bowen.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: What makes you so sure?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Because mister Fenross is the only person in the world
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: who would have any reason for ransacking the apartment that
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Mary and I share. He wants the information Mary has.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: M do you have it too, Miss Carlyle. No, but
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: if I did, I'd do exactly what she's doing. I'd
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: make him pay for it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: There was a luck on your apartment door broken.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: No, it wasn't if somebody had been there, because Mary's
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: wardrobe drunk, had been turned inside out and my room
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: had been.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: All torn up too.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Was anything stolen?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Nothing of mine? And Mary, says, Sendrus didn't.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Find what he was asked, I see has come out,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you said. Mary Danville hasn't told you what she knows
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: about the fashion fix? Are you in your roommate on
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: friendly terms? Yes? Of course.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I got the store to hire her, and I also
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: saw to it that she was sush to hit. But
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: she still doesn't trust you enough to tell you.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: That is not the point, she said, I'd be better
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: off not knowing. That's what he discovered was dynamite.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Look, miss Carlyle, I don't want to alarm you, but
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: can you get a room for yourself and Mary Danville
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: at a hotel for a few nights?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Why why? I suppose so?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: And I'd do it if I were you, I wouldn't
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: let anybody know what I was saying.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: But everything's happened while I've been here at the store.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Nobody would dare to try anything while Mary and I
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: were at home.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not too sure of that. Is Mary at your
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: apartment now? I think so?
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Hi.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I want to talk to her, and i'd also like
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: to examine your apartment.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Do you want me to take you there now?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: No, I want you to line up a hotel room. Besides,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Patsy and I may do better talking to Mary alone,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: if you think. I don't think anything yet, miss Cardle,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: except that you may not find it healthy to stay
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: in your apartment.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: All right, mister Carter, I'll do whatever you say. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: can hear somebody in there, Nate. Maybe she's afraid to
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: open the door.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: It's Danville, Sally Carlisle senters. I'm Nick Carter, a private investigator. Luck,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: miss Danville. I know you're in there because I heard
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you moving around.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, he isn't gonna let us in this.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I'm baring a camp right here on your doorstep till
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: you open this door, Miss Danville. I'm here to help
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: you if I can. Well, now you're being sensible. I
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: don't know you, Miss Jane, and I would like you
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: to tell us what you can about your apartment being searched.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: For you recently, Dally Carlisle telld us about him. Miss
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Dandell Nick and I are here to.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Investigate, so if you'll let us in, I'm in a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: hurry right now.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I have a date. Couldn't you come back some other time?
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid this can't wait, Miss, but I can't. That's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: one thing I want particular. I didn't know has anything
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: stolen from your wardrobe trunk?
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: No, Miss Carlisle thinks mister Fendra did the search.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Do what? Look?
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Mister what's your name? I told you I'm in a hurry.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I'm light for my date now, good date for the
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: gentleman friends, Yes, my dates for the man.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: We'll just talk to you here outside your daughterly right, but.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I'm to meet him downstairs in the lobby.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Oh your callers meet you in the lobby? Do they look?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know you.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Maybe you're a detective and maybe you're not. But until
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Sally's here to say you're okay, I'm not going to.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Talk to you.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I'm ready to leave and I'm going right now.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: You're making a mistake, Miss Danville.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe not, but don't try to follow me down
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: to the lobby. You do well, I'll call the.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Police very well. They won't even go down in the
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: same elevator with you. Go right ahead, that's what I
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: intend to do.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: You don't you going to follow her?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Trying to wait here and see what she does?
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: But what do you expect her to do that?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: See? If you were miss Danville, would you leave two
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: strangers standing in front of your door after a conversation
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: like the one we've just had? Why that all depends?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Depends nothing. You'd meet your boyfriend in the lobby and
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: then get right back up here to see what's going on.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: But if you ask me, I don't think she has
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: a date.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: You don't know.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: And if she did, it wasn't with a man.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Oh why do you say that?
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Getn't powder a nose and it was shiny and her
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: lipstick was non straight.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: No, No, I have a feeling she just wanted to
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: get away from this apartment as fast as she could.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: And maybe you're right. Come on, let's get inside and
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: see what was bothering her.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're not going to break into that apartment, are you.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Don't have to? Sally Carlyle gave me her keys. You
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: think of everything, don't you sure? Come on? Right?
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Fair. It's certainly a pleasant living room. Nothing sinister here.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. There's other were two bedrooms, which one is
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: married Danville?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Well not this one, at least, I wouldn't think so.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Why not because the pictures on the vanity, and you'd
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: hardly have your own picture.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: In your room, good girl. So Mary Dandie's room must
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: be the other one. Let's see what's the great fuger?
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: No wonder Mary wanted to get away.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: He's got on the floor. He's been shot through the temples,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the close squire. Somebody just came in the front door.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Let's listen. Maybe we can hear something.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, who's.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Who hear something? No? Here I go.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Let's get out of here and call the police.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Noting whoever you are. Come on out off too, all right,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: miss carl Jerry.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Your fool after Oh mister Carter, are you hurt?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Not a bit, Miss carlile, But tell you a trigger
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: happy friend to quit punty that revolver at me. I'm sorry,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: old fellow, and I was nervous that what's been happening here.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: It's good those people can't hit anything with a revolver.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: This is Jerry Bart that our passion designer Nick Carter
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: and his secretary of his poet Honey Do.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I'm awfully sorry I frightened you, but I thought I
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: told you not to come back here, Miss Carlyle.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: I know, but I got to thinking about Mary dan Villa,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: and well, if it was dangerous for me to be here,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: it was dangerous for her too.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: So I came up to get her. But she just
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: left a few minutes ago.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Oh I see.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Well in that case, Jerry, I suppose we might as
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: well leave too.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Run. That's a minute, Miss Carlyle. Did you see your
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: roommate in the lobby just now? From the lobby? No,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: there's somebody else in this apartment, in one of the bedrooms.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: You mean you've caught our mysterious visitor. Oh, that's wonderful.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: But who I suppose you'd take a look. That's a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: good idea. Who No, No, recognized her, Miss Carlyle. Of
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: course we recognize her.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: But that's Mary dan Viel.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: What you mean this murdered girl is your roommate?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, but why would anyone, Mister Carr. You've got to
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: catch her murderer. You've got to.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I think I did catch her murderer, Miss Carlyle, but
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I let her get away. Mary Danzil was apparently murdered
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: by the girl who made a cool, daring getaway. But
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: the FuG of his picture is on Sally Carlyle's benasy,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: so we should know who she was in just a moment.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Now back to the case of the quiet roommates. Today's
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by new post
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: war old Dutch Penser. The scene is Sally Carlyle's bedroom
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: and Nick stairs grimly at the photograph he's removed from
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Sally's dressing table. This is a picture. The girl will
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: left your apip plank just as we arrived. Who is she,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Miss Carlyle.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: That's Dorothy Great.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: She is particularly the good friend of yours.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Well, she gave me the picture, and she stops in
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: to see me once in a while at.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: All she's friendly as the secretary. So everybody Miss Dowd
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: trying to get in toroid with her. I say, well,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I think she can give him a boost of Finis
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: he really have that much influence with him? Well, if
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I think I'll had trouble getting finish, said Okay, one
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: of my fashion designs I try to sell Dothy On.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: At first, it's it's okay with her, you'll take it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, then she gets to see your designs before they're approved.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she does. Uh huh. Who else sees them? Well,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Fenris of course and tell yes.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: I see him too.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Do you think this Dorothy Drake would commit murder to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: help Fenris? You said she was here in this apartment
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: when you got hit, didn't you, Yes.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: It was well, I don't see why you let her
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: get away.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: She told us she was Mary Danville. We had no
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: reason to doubt her.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: But she doesn't look the least did like Mary.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Don't forget, miss Carlyle. I never saw Mary Danville before.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: And we didn't find Mary's body until after Dorothy Drake
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: had left. She must have killed Mary.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: All you have to do is find her.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Do you know where she lives? Sure, there's no secret
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: about that, over on Prince.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Street, but she won't be there. Mary must have known
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: that she was a fashion feef.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Just a minute, Miss Carlyle. We can't assume that she's
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: guilty of Mary's murder or of the fashion steps ere
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: mister apartment. Mister Fenner saw that access to the fashion designs.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: But if she isn't guilty. Why did she run away?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: We don't know that she has run away. If she's smart,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: we'll find her at home. Let's see if she is smart.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'll come in.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: You don't seem surprised to see us, Miss.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Drake, I know you'd be here at well? Are you
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: coming in saying we are? I suppose you saw Mary satty?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: We did?
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: And I suppose you're sitting to say I didn't kill
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: her naturally? And I suppose you won't believe.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Me when I do. Well you lie to us at
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Sally Carlisle's apartment.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Of course I lied. I was frightened. I just saw
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Mary's botty.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: You mean she was dead when you went into her apartment? Yes?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: She was? And how did you get in? I had
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: a where'd you get it? Solving murders is my business,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: miss Drake? And unless you give me some straight answer,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: is I'm going to escort you down the headquarters.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't try that if I were you.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: Why not?
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I'll sue you for pose to rest and i'll collect you.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Seem pretty sure of yourself.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: You'll find out how sure I am to try to
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: make trouble for me.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: You think mister Senras will back you up. Uh. I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: wouldn't count on that if I were you. No, Look,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: if you're going to take that attitude, Miss Drake, I'll
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: have to show you I'm not bluffing.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Come on, Come on, where two headquarters? Where do you think?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Now? Look, you can't you let me can. And if
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: you won't come willingly with me, I'll have Sergeant Memphis
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: another homicide squad here within ten minutes.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Just try it and see what will happen.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Very well, where's the telephone, Miss Drake, it's in the hall.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Make fine, Carl Matty right, No, don't too deep water,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: mister Carter, Well, if I were you, I wouldn't make
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: any phone calls until I knew what I was doing. Why,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: mister sun Rush, I won't have my secretary, myself, or
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the store mixed up in a murdered scandal, Carter, And
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: if you do it, I'll run you right out of business.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: What are you doing here? Friendly?
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: He came because I called him as soon as I
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: got away from Mary Daniel's apartment.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, now that we're back to that, miss Drink, I
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: still want to know why you went there. She was
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: following orders curtim your orders. Naturally. I was entitled the
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: information that Danville girl said she had, and I was
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: going to get it, even if you had to steal it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Her attempt to extort money from me was outside the law.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: You have to fight fire with fire. So you gave
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: miss Drake the key to Miss Danville's apartment, I did.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Why did you get it? We have a key shop
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: in the basement of our store. I borrowed Sally Carlyle's
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: key from her locker long enough to have a duplicate made.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Had you borrow it with Sally's permission? I told you
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: you have to die now. You have to fight fire
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: with fire. Okay, So you had Miss Drake sneaking to
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Miss Danville's apartment. What was she supposed to steal? Mary
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Danville claimed she had a package of correspondence to prove
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the identity of the fashion thief. I wanted it. Hey,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, Wait a minute. You say you sent
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: your secretary to get the letters Marry Danville head. I did.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Before she'd had any chance to let you know whether
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: she got them or not, you called me and asked
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: me to get them. That makes sense, It makes a
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: lot of sense. I had no intention of hiring you.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: From what I'd heard about you, I was quite sure
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't take the job. Suppose I said I would,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I'd have found some excuse for not hiring you. And
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: why did you call me? That's really very simple, Curtie.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: If Miss Drake had been successful in getting those letters,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Mary Danville would have immediately accused me of having an
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: apartment burglarized. But I would have been in a position
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: to deny it. Oh, I could have proved that I
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: was trying to hire a detective to get the letters
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: for me at the very time somebody else was actually
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: getting them. Very clever, Penris. And now you've put your
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: secretary right on the spot.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: He has not.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I you were in the apartment with Mary Danville's body
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: when we found you, Miss Drake, and you admit why
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: you were there. That doesn't mean, by the way, did
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: you get the letters.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: No, when I saw Mary's body, I need to stop
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: to look for them.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I think perhaps you did what I think. Perhaps you
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: found them and didn't want mister Fennis to know you
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: found them. You're accusing miss Drake of being the passion
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Steve met preposterous married Danville's murder. It's preposterous to Fenris,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: but it happened just the same anybody else except miss
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Drake check go out at the store just before the murder. Yes,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Sally Carlyle took an extra hour at lunchtime because she
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: said she was nervous about her apartment and wanted to
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: go home to check things. How about Jerry Butler, say, I.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Remember now hat he came in while you were out,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: mister Fenris, and said he wanted an hour off to
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: attend to some personal business. And I told him it
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: would be all right.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: So nobody's eliminated. Well, looked as though I first jotted
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: to find those letters. But where are you going to
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: look for them? I don't know, mister Fenris, but I'm
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: going to start looking just the same. And when I
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: get any information, you can be sure I'll let you know.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Miss Bowen. What's the idea of summoning all of us
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: here to Carter's office in his high handed manner?
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: He has some information for you?
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: He isn't even here, He said he'd be delayed at that,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: mister Fenris, delayed?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Doesn't he know? My time's valuable? Should we go back
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: to the storm in Dependence.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: You can go back if you like. But I'm saying right.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Oh you are, we'll see about that.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: I'm staying who that's the card and must have had
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: an important reason for Ashnus to come here.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: The only thing that's important to me is to find
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: out who's been stealing our fashion design.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: You mean, murder doesn't bother you?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Married Danville is outside below, Miss Bone. She deserved what
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: she got. Did Kyder say how soon he be here?
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry he didn't. Just the same. We'll wait until
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: he gets here, all of us.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: This is an outrage. We've been here nearly two hours,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: and I refuse to submit to such treatment any longer.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Where is Kyler anyway?
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: I'm sure I don't know. Mister Fenruss all he said
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: over the phone the last time he called.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I know he said to tell us to wait, But
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna wait any longer.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Now that you are, your curiosity wouldn't let you do
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: anything else.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: What would the devil's he up to? Anyway? Oh?
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Miss Ford wouldn't tell even to you, Jerry. Oh is
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: not to reason?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's just to wait?
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Hi, everybody, Well it's about time, Carter. Do you realize
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you kept us waiting here. Mister Fenrith, I've kept you
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: waiting about two hours. Well, your explanation better be good.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: I'm a busy man. My explanation is very good. I
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: intended to keep you people waiting here when I called
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: you well the colossal, and I had to get you
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: here so I could search your homes without being disturbed.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: You mean, I mean I've made a thorough search, miss Drake,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: with a full approval of the police department. I'll I
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: don't have you tone into jail. I calm down, mister Fens.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: You said the proper way to fight fire was with fire. Remember,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I confound you were interested in results, Fenders, while I've
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: got results right here in this package. What the letters
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: that cost Mary Danville her life? All ready to be
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: turned over to the police. Have you read them? I
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: haven't even examined them. I thought i'd prefer to do
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: that with everyone present. Oh, why wait any longer? Then?
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I don't intend to wait. No, I'll take her of this.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Nobody's going to find me. You've got a gun, so
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I see. Has anyone accused you of anything, mister Barbertt, No,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: nobody's going to on as long as you have that
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: gun in your hand. I suppose you're right. You just
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: keep away from me if you don't want this son
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: to go off. Now at see these letters? Quite they
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: aren't the letters at all. Carter's trying to trick us.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Quite right, mister Fenders, they're fakes. I didn't even look
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: for the letters. You didn't look for them, No, I didn't.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: It's defendless. How did you know these letters are fakes? Why?
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I said? You've never seen the letters, and yet you
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: know it once? These aren't genuine? How about that? Carter?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Are you accusing me of something? Yes, I'm accusing you
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: of married Danville's murder. They're totally ridiculous. You don't think
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: i'd feel my own fashions, do you? If they aren't
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: your fashion? That's just the point, vendmist They aren't your fashion.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Not see here, your president at the store because of
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: your name, because your father founded the business. The money
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: you made stealing those fashions and selling them was probably
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: more than your salary.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: So Sunless murdered Mary then deliberately sent me to her apartment.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: So there's anything went wrong, I.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Be the suspect, mistake, don't be a fir.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not anymore. I'm getting smart. The rest of us
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: had to check out before we could beat the store,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: but you didn't. And I'm the only one who knows
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: you weren't around.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: The store at the time of them.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Nick, that's right, she said, mister Fenrust is out, so
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: she told Jerry Bartley would be all right for him
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: to leave.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Look, Carter, it may be news to you, but there
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: aren't any letters. There are no Mary and I worked
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: out that scheme because I thought Fenris suspected me. What
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the well, you see, it was like this. I paid
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Mary to quitter job and make fenerist that proposition. My
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: professional reputation was at taken. I thought I could get
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: the fashioned fief to show his hand that way. If
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: you know they wanted a letters, why did you pull
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: that gun? Well, I got excited. I guess I knew
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: there weren't any letters, and then when you showed up
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: with a whole bundle of them, I figured I was
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: being framed with fat letters. I wasn't gonna stand for that.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I have all lost your senses believing that fantastic story
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: about hiring Mary. Danville look at him with his gunman's hand.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Jerry lookout to get your gun back up if you
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: want to slug in the heart, and that cost for
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: all of you. Mister Fenross covering the group with the revolver,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: he grabbed some bartlet edges his way towards the door.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Nick caught his office. We'll see what happens in just
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: a moment. And now for the conclusion of the case
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: of the Quiet Room Mate, Today's adventure with Nick Cutter
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: brought to you by new post war old Dutch cleanser
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: mister Fenross. Revolver in one hand reaches for the door
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: of Nick's office with the other. So you thought Mary
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: dandil knew you'd been selling those fashion designs the Fenris.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: And that's why are you killed?
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, I thought you were going to set the blackmail
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: me for the rest of my life. It's fault of
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: the children. Why you can't hang the blame on me, Fenris.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And you can't leave this office either, Firs, stop me
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: see what happens to you. I have a trick lock
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: on the door to prevent Yes, that's safe. I snapped
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: a secret catch when I came into the room. You
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: will never be able to find it, Fenris. Thanks for
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: telling me Curry in that case, I'll let you find
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: it for me. Oh no, no, Die, you don't have
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: any choice. Get over here and open this door or
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I'll blow your head off. Wow, I mean it. Okay,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I guess you got me. Get it open. I'll be
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: quick about it, all right, all right, take it easy, Fendless.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I can't be quick about it. First, you twist the
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: door handle slightly to the left like me, and a
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: full turned to the right. Then don't try any funny business, Carter.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I'm right behind you, and I'm ready to pull the
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: trigger if I have to. I'm sure you are. How
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: you turn the door up to the left again, and wait,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: give me the gun before you're off fis me. You
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: slam the door into me again, and I'm gonna slam
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: my left mist right to your face if you don't
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: knock that knock you. Oh, I've got a toller. All right, good,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: hold on with this time. I didn't want to kill
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Mary Danni Boom. I thought I had to do it.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I can't sympathize with you.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: He checked me, Carter, How did you know? I didn't know, Fenris,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: didn't have any idea of who was Gilly. But you
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: remember what I said about gilly people running away, But
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: that's why I arranged this meeting, to give them murder
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: a chance to try to run away. And it worked.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: But if there weren't letters, make if Mary Daniel didn't
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: have any letters.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: But she didn't have them. The letters were from Penris
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: to the people who brought the fashion designs from him. Yes,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: they wouldn't buy unless I gave them something to put
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: them in the clear in case the store ever brought
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: any suits against them. I thought she got hold of those,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: that is in some way. But you act to deserve
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: your thot. I was double crossing. Oh you had me
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: half crazy. I had to accuse someone, didn't I?
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: And you're still trying to justify yourself, aren't you.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: The score should have been mine. I only got a
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: small part of what I deserve. While starting right now, Fenris,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: you're going to get more than a small part of
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: what you deserve. You're going to get the work. Well, Nick,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: let's hear something about the adventure new post war old

  Speaker 2: I spent most of my time looking for Patsy Mout.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: I found the gangster first, and I was sorry I
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: ever did believe me.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Patsy pretended to be a gun mall. He played

  Speaker 5: We stream live OTR Westerns twenty fours a day, seven
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: days a week, along with putting out podcasts of old
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: time radio Westerns. Check us out at Otrwesterns dot com.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: You're listening to the great detectives of old time radio
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: with Adam Graham. Now let's get back into the show.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, uh, the first time the villain came
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: into the piece, I thought, even probably whatever's bad and
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: this piece did it. But dismiss that idea as they
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: wouldn't go with somebody so obvious. But this time, at
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: least we got to see the most mean character in
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the story just get his come up, and we did
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: have a couple of clothes. First, his reaction about the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: request for payment wasn't really rational, and then I guess
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the other thing was it was brought home that he
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: didn't actually own the store, so those were our clothes.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Hope they helped all right.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Listener comments and feedback and some comments regarding what I
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: discussed in episode seventeen oh two, Danger Doctor Danfield. Your
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: brief rent today on Danger Doctor Danfield was just hilarious
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: had me laughing out loud. Your earlier reference to the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: show prompted me to listen to an episode a while back,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: and I could not agree more.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Not aware that every episode somehow survived with many great
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: shows have so many missing episodes. I wonder if anyone
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: has ever contacted Clear Channel about what they might have
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: in all the stations they own eight hundred. Answer to
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: your the first question regarding Clear Channel, they really whatever
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: problems are around with old time radio archiving, a Clear
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Channel really doesn't have much to do with it. The
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: company didn't even come into existence until nineteen seventy two,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and the big problem is that radio stations disposed of
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a transcription disc, which are basically seen as outdated technology
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: for old programs, and so I would be very surprised
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: if there are any commercial radio stations that have an
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: old time radio transcription disc. There might be some stations
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: somewhere that played a tape of old time radio from
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies or something since gone out of circulation,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: but that's kind of far fetched. The big discoveries in
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: terms of old time radio programs have come from private
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: collectors and also Armed Forces radio service disc that are
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: in various locations, and the greatest treasure trove of uncirculated
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: radio programs are among private collectors that really do have
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: a somewhat eccentric view of what proper OTR listening is.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I've heard of some who believe that if a program
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: is on a transcription disc, the only appropriate way to
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: listen to it is on a transcription disc. They don't
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: want to go with all of this digitizing, and for
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: some it is a thing of I've got this episode
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: of Nick Harter. Nobody else has a copy. I'm the
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: only man on earth who can listen to this episode
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: of Nick Carter, and as long as I keep it
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: in my collection, it's going to stay that way. Not
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: of you I would choose to take or applaud, but
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: they've got the disk and that's their story. In terms
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: of seriously, why Danger Doctor Denfield managed to survive, it's
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: because someone decided that not only should this be broadcast
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: over the EBC network, it ought to be syndicated to
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: radio stations across the country, which led to a lot
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: more disc being produced than for your typical ABC program,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: and so there were more discs for people to find.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: That's the key thing with a lot of these series,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: it's how many disc were put out there. Because most
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: transcription disc for old time radio programs were destroy but
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: a certain percentage just survived. So if you syndicated a
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: show for a long time, you syndicated a lot of
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: runs of the show, then the odds get better and
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: better than episodes are going to survive because there are
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: more opportunities for fans of old time radio to have
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: gone and picked up the transcription desk and saved it
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: from being thrown out. That's why, for example, that's so
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: few episodes of the San Francisco originated version of Pat
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Nooback for Hire survive. One episode with Jack Webb and
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: four with Ben Morris and the same with Candy Matson.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: These shows were big and San Francisco. They were transcribed
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: to a few local stations, but unfortunately the vast majority
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: of the disc it just did not survive. So that's
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: really the big factor that goes into this. I just
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: wish that somebody at ABC had decided to syndicate another show,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: but anywarate that will do it. For today, we will
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: be back tomorrow with yours truly, Johnny Dller. Join us
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: again next Thursday for Nick Carter. In the meantime, sender
