3:46
mysterious adventure with Nick Carter. As our story opens, we find Nick and
3:51
Patsy just entering the hotel room of John Ames, a young friend of Nick's.
3:54
Hello Nick, Patsy, Hellojohn, glad to see you come on here.
3:59
Thanks again. Oh Nick, look at that darling Scottie on the bed.
4:01
Hey, man, get down off that bed. I look so cute
4:04
with his head on the pillow. I've never been able to break McTavish for
4:08
the habit. Oh. By the way, this is Chief Danis, the
4:11
local police. Nick Carter and Patsy Bowen. Chief. Well, let's get
4:15
down to business. Chief Danis and I have just come from my Aunt Mary's
4:18
funeral. As you know, the corner's verdict was that Maunt Murray killed herself
4:23
with aconyde but I don't believe it. Why not John? First because she
4:27
wasn't suicide kind. Second because if she wanted to kill herself she would have
4:30
used poisoned. She was more familiar with She was a gardener, knew all
4:34
about nicotine, sulfate and nurse make and so on. Nothing very positive there.
4:39
Well, mister Carter, how about this? Since John's grandfather, Old
4:42
Henry Ames, passed on at the age of eighty three, four years ago,
4:46
three of the years have died. Typhoid killed Prying last year, Phil
4:50
was shot in a hunting accident two years ago, and now Mary dies of
4:55
aconhyde poison. But the Purcells keep right on running the farm the way they
4:58
always have. Adam and Paul Purcell were first employed as fine managers by my
5:02
grandfather. Each successive owner since Dan's kept them on. So far everything seems
5:08
quite open and above board. Yes, But each time one of the last
5:11
three Aims has died, the word murder has been whispered all over town.
5:15
But why I don't get not just a feeling, no proof at all.
5:17
But the rumor persists that the pur Sales know more about than they can let
5:23
on. And as a medical student, I can say that the chances of
5:26
three healthy people dying off like that, one after another purely as a coincidence
5:29
is less than one in a hundred. There's the any question about your grandfather's
5:32
death being natural? No, not at all. Now about Phil he shot
5:38
himself in a chest while out hunting with a purcell and it was his gun
5:42
with only his fingerprints on it. I see. How about Prank's death,
5:46
died in bed of not typhoid, nothing to show it wasn't on the level.
5:49
Not a thing, mister Carter. I'll not tell me about your Aunt
5:54
Mary's death. Anything wrong, There nothing you can put your finger on.
6:00
Hear the facts, and I want to say that they've been checked and proven
6:02
in every detail I tried, mister Carter. What John will tell you is
6:05
nothing but facts. All right, let's have him. Aunt Mary lived alone
6:09
in the Big house. The Pursells and Lizzie Gregg, their haired girl,
6:13
lived in the tenant house. Lizzie took care of the big house and got
6:15
the meals for Aunt Mary, but she didn't sleep there well. This particular
6:19
morning, Lizzie walked over to the big house at seven in the morning,
6:23
called my aunt, got no answer, and investigated. My aunt was in
6:27
bed dead, and it snowed that night before all night, and the tracks
6:31
we found when we got there proved proved, mind you, that no one
6:35
was in the house that night with his aunt, and the poste Martin shows
6:40
she died of vaconite poisoning. Yeah, some minute dose, but fatal and
6:44
positive, just enough to kill her where she gets to Zaconay and Lizzie used
6:46
it for a hard condition for years, kept the bottle in the big house
6:50
in the kitchen cabinet. Bottle was found on his aunt's bedside table, with
6:55
her fingerprints plainly showing on top of Lizzie's. But it couldn't be an accident
6:59
because Zach and I it is neither older, listen nor tasteless, and couldn't
7:01
be taken without knowing it. And the poison was administered to my aunt through
7:04
her mouth. It certainly looks like suicide to me, except for one thing,
7:09
Patsy, with a person going to commit suicide would pour themselves out a
7:13
good sizeable portion of the poison they intended to use, not just barely enough
7:16
to kill them. She wouldn't know enough to do that if she didn't leave
7:19
any suicide note either, But if it wasn't suicide. And if she couldn't
7:24
have taken it by accident, and if nobody could have forced it on her
7:26
without her knowing it was being done, where does that leave you? Exactly,
7:30
Patsy? It proves just one thing in my mind. It proves a
7:32
cold blooded, deliberate murder, carefully planned and executed it. I don't know
7:36
how it was done, but it was the same goes for phil'sdaf and Franks.
7:42
And I'll bet the purse cells of the murderers are the accomplices. They
7:45
stand to gain a nice income from the farm, which goes to them with
7:47
the last air diyes've been planning this for years. They planned it so carefully
7:51
that the evidence proves them not guilty every time. Let him perself, Where
7:57
did you come from? I not, but there was so much talk and
8:00
nobody heard me. So I come in, John, I heard what you
8:05
said. Well, I met at every word. How do you happen to
8:09
be here? Purcell? I heard John was coming down here to meet Chief
8:11
Dennis and you, mister Carter, I guess why? So I followed him
8:16
to spy on me. No young man not despy to resign Paul and Lazier
8:22
against the idea I'm the elder brother, and what I say goes. You
8:26
mean you'll all move off the farm, just that, and writing now,
8:28
Bester Purcell, and then every word I said, just now, And I'm
8:31
not taking back a word of it if you can't resign, and I can't
8:33
let you go, because if they go now, it means either they're quitting
8:37
under fire or I'm afraid to live in the farm with him. Guide.
8:41
I need fire managers, and the Purcell's the best managers. I know.
8:43
I think you're right, John. Well, how do you feel about it,
8:46
mister Purcell? I don't know, but I well, I guess I
8:52
can stand it if he can. All right, we'll put the food on
8:58
your table, clean your house, run your farm. But that's all.
9:03
They won't have nothing to do with you, nor you with us. I
9:05
understand, and I agree. I'll be getting along. Quiet Mac, and
9:11
get down off my bed. Come on, come on, get out.
9:13
You're going back to the farm tonight. The dream, Yes, especially in
9:16
view of what just happened, you still think for Sale's guilty, Yes,
9:20
I do. Adam wanted to resign, either because he was afraid or because
9:24
he wanted to establish an alibi, because if I should be killed while the
9:28
Purcel's weren't living on the farm, they'd be cleared of all of that.
9:31
Hannah going back there and proved that the Purcells actually did what I think they
9:35
did. Well, Mac, this seems to be the kitchen. There's nobody
9:50
here, Yes, there isn't that rocking here? How do you do you
9:56
let your dog in the house? Yes? Max always lived with me in
10:03
my room. Where do you sleep in the master bedroom? Of course?
10:07
Good, best room in the house. What time you want breakfast? About
10:11
eight o'clock. I'd like eggs, bacon and coffee. U s at the
10:16
time, young man, I'll finish the meals. Good night. Well,
10:24
yes, Max, that was probably Lizzie. That's the way they wanted.
10:28
Okay, come on, let's have a look at our house. So this
10:41
is the master bedroom. Gosh, Mac, so beautiful. Hey, get
10:48
down off that bed. Mac. You've got to turn over a new leaf
10:50
in this house. Lizzie won't have you sleeping on beds. I know.
10:56
Oh, all right, stay there for now. The whole house smells so
11:01
strongly of alcohol, smells like a box boom's here in the bedroom. Swell
11:07
well, hello, Tom, I thought i'd call and see how you're making
11:11
out. Gosh, Nick, it's good to hear your voice. This is
11:15
a grand old house, but it's so quiet you can cut it with a
11:18
knife. Any new ideas yet, yes, one or two? Nick,
11:22
I'd like to have you get me a permit to exume Frank Ames's body and
11:24
autopsy the remain. If our cynical poisoning was wrongly diagnosed as typhoid, it
11:30
can still be checked. All right, John, I'll bring the permit ut
11:33
of me when I come tomorrow. Oh by the way, if the Bushsells
11:35
were to inherit the farm, where would Lizzie come in? She wouldn't.
11:39
There's no interest in it it all. You wouldn't get touch a dollar of
11:43
it. Why I understand Lizzie and Paul we're talking of getting married about five
11:48
years ago, but nothing came of it. I see ah, John,
11:54
I'll see you about eleven in the morning. And I Nick, come on,
11:58
Mac, you have to it off the bed now because I'm getting in
12:01
it myself. Lizzie, that was the best breakfast I ever ate. And
12:13
I mean it, yes, never you do, I know. And I'm
12:16
being made fun of and Lizzie I wonder if you could manage to get rid
12:20
of that barrel of alcohol I saw on the cellar this morning. I can
12:24
smell it all over the house. Let us speak to Paul, young man.
12:28
I've been trying to get rid of that barrel all the winter. It
12:30
leaves, Yes, it certainly does. You'll have to get Paul to get
12:33
rid of it. And he's real subven he's Where is Paul now? Plow?
12:37
And of course where else this time of year? Thanks Lidi, see
12:39
if I can find him. Paul, come over here a minute, please,
13:00
What do you want? I'm papa busy young man. I want to
13:03
see where Phil was killed. Oh, right over there it was. We
13:07
was after grouse. I climbed through the wire here and he went over the
13:11
fence there. He kept his gun to ahead of him. Start hit that
13:15
rock and bang got him in the chair. Mmm. See, thanks,
13:18
you might if I get back to the plan we're behind now, No,
13:22
not at all. And Adam certainly keep this place in beautiful shape. We
13:26
aimed all run down when Adam and me was hired, But now everything's up
13:30
to snuff and no aims ever put his hand to it yet. I think
13:33
I'll roam around, see what there is to see. Haven't been here since
13:37
I was a kid. Come on, Max, Hey, Max, look
13:52
at the time. But the clark must be nick blowing for us. Come
13:56
on, we'll go back to the catalane. Ought to be the quickest way
13:58
to house. Yes, this cataline's a beautiful job, almost two hundred yards
14:05
straight from the barn. Out of the fields of the cows are put out,
14:07
the pasture fenced on both sides with five stands of barbed wire, one
14:13
of them as tight as a banjo string. That Mac is a model fence
14:16
if I ever saw, Yes Mac, I see him. It's neck all
14:20
right. Oh, he's got pasty with him. I'm on the top if
14:28
I can jump that high. So the series of accidents is continuing John's first
14:46
day on the farm, and already death runs to meet him. Can this
14:48
murderer set up be solved in time to save John from being killed? We'll
14:52
see in just a moment. When your youngster's tracking mud, slice or snow

16:14
we left John, he was in a narrow lane hem's in on both sides
16:17
with high barbed wire, trying to escape a mad rush of a bull charging
16:19
down on him from the pond. It is now a few minutes later.
16:22
We'll get to John. No, I'm all right. I never saw such
16:26
a pretty ball thing. Is Hue hit over the top of that fan.
16:30
I can't understand it. The fool couldn't break out of his pen. Somebody
16:34
must have left the gate to the pen on latch. It doesn't matter now,
16:37
no damage was done. I go to that bool get away someday,
16:41
go to the pad, not the pen that No, you men know it
16:45
all. What are you doing here, Lizzie. Get back to the house
16:48
where you belong and down here to tell the young man he's got company.
16:52
He found out for hisself. Yes, I found him. Well, John
16:56
sall we go somewhere and talk. Nobody will bother us here, Nick good.
17:12
At first, John, I got the permit to exhume your uncle's body.
17:17
I brought the undertaker alonger dig it up and take it back to town.
17:19
Second, I got hold of your uncle phil shotgun, the one that
17:22
killed him. I examined it pretty closely. Find anything interesting I did.
17:29
I found evidence. It seems to bear out your feeling that his death may
17:32
not have been the accident they claim it was. This has reeks of alcohol,
17:36
doesn't Yes, it's a barrel of the stuff in the cellar. For
17:38
some reason, it smells up the whole place. Come in, young man,
17:45
you'll leave this ban tonight. Otherwise you're going to get yourself killed,
17:49
killed by whom. Maybe I don't know, and maybe I do. I
17:53
seen the hand in the arm that pushed the bolt on the bullpen gate open.
17:57
That ball was loosed deliberate. If you know who did it, you
18:00
want to speak up prevent further tragedy. I only recognize the sleeve of the
18:04
shirt, just total might they could have got their shirts mixed up, so
18:08
I ain't saying now you hate what I tell you, young man, Get
18:12
out and get quick. She could have been more positive and her identification.
18:21
I wonder how positive she really is. Maybe she doesn't know herself. Maybe
18:26
I'm beginning to get an idea. I mean, you can see an end
18:30
of this riddle. No, but I think I begin to see where we're
18:33
headed, and it's not pretty well. I've got work to do right now.
18:37
See you tonight, John, and in the meantime, be careful.
18:56
Hello, Nick, I know I'm going to see you tonight, But since
18:59
you've been gone, some thing's happened. I think you ought to know what
19:02
that job. Both Adam and Paul have come to me secretly at different times,
19:06
and each one has told me that he saw his brother unlatch the gate
19:08
to the bull's pen. You mean they each if he the other? Yes?
19:12
Nick? Well, very interesting. Oh by the way, John,
19:18
and if i's you and your uncle Frank's body shows our centical poison and fatal
19:22
quantities. Oh question? But what it was murdered? But who did it?
19:25
Nick? He did it? I suppose you get all three of the
19:27
first sails in the big house at ten in the morning. I'll need it
19:30
to len and clean up the details. Tell them I've found out something conclusive.
19:34
Don't tell them what they make one of them come through with a confession.
19:38
Maybe all right, Nick, ten in the morning. Five jobs and
19:41
watch yourself tonight, Operator Merchancy. I'm poisoned. Get me a doctor quick,
20:03
and then get Nick Carter at the hotel. Get a doctor. Then
20:07
called Nick Jeeves as if you and Nick got here off a fastt When Nick's
20:19
in a hurry, he doesn't waste any time getting prison. You know what
20:22
you were poisoned with, John, Yes, it was Zach and I all
20:25
right, I know that I can't figure out how I got it is very
20:29
low. We've got to make it pick up. Do you know how course
20:32
she does that. She's practically a fullfledge nurse. It's lucky it's nobody here
20:36
on the farm. I can trust YEA drink this, John, It'll stimulate
20:38
your heart, and you better walk up and down. I just heard you
20:42
on the extension phone that John was poisoned. Is that true? It's true?
20:45
All right. You only know what you heard on the phone for sure.
20:49
What else? How is he? We don't know yet. Oh.
20:52
I'd rather taking the poison in moans stomach than he should get it. I
20:56
never dreamed of any killing, or note any was being Nick. Will you
21:00
get me? He Paul too? Paul poisoned Paul die if you could let
21:11
me have some of that stuff you're using for John, ma'am, I'll go
21:14
ten to Paul. Well, of course here you come in. Lit almost
21:18
have poisoned you in himself. John. That's the only answer, and that
21:22
means Paul did all those other things too. I took nothing since dinner.
21:26
It was much too long ago to wait it all this time to take a
21:29
thing. It is impossible eat nothing and drunk nothing since seven o'clock. It's
21:33
two forty in the morning, and could it that's the doctor Patry rushing to
21:37
Paul. Okay, paulmost talk before he dies. He's got to clear this
21:41
thing up. John. Did you say you had had nothing to eat or
21:45
drink for the last seven or eight hours? That's right, Nick. The
21:48
same as Aunt Mary's case, exactly. She was poisoned without knowing how it
21:52
was done. So is I the answer to one is the answer to both.
21:56
Paul's killing himself looks as if he were that answer. I can't figure
22:00
out how he could have done it. John, I'd like to have a
22:04
look at your room. Feeling strong enough? Yeah, sure, Nick,
22:08
let's do it now. Nick, do you think Mac get off that bed?
22:26
Hey, mag come on by. That's funny Usually Nick, Stead don't
22:34
touch him. Why not? Look? John, His head's on a pillow
22:40
in the same place yours would be if you were in bed. Yesick,
22:44
So what you slept on that pillow and almost died? Max sleeps there and
22:48
does die? Doesn't that mean anything to you? I'm afraid not. What
22:52
should it mean? Aconnight was poured on the pillow case before you went to
22:56
bed? What remember? Ack? And I had are so powerful look and
22:59
be absorbed through the skin, particular the thin, damp, mucous membrane of
23:03
the lips. That's right, Nick, A person sleeping on that pillow with
23:06
aconites pilled on it and poison himself in a couple of hours because you were
23:08
restless. You got up before the dose was fatal. But Mac withther's very
23:11
bad habit of sleeping on your pillow and sleeping very soundly, slept there once
23:15
too often. But Nick, why didn't I smell it? What does aconite
23:19
smell like with alcohol? Right? Of course the house reeks of alcohol.
23:26
Naturally, I'd never smell it. That alcohol smell is part of the plot,
23:29
John oh, Nick, who let's get everybody together and talk it over.
23:34
Maybe that way we'll get along faster. So up to now, we've
23:48
got this much settled. I found that the safety catch and the shotgun that
23:52
killed Phil two years ago had been tampered with. So it is no good.
23:55
Lizzie swears you saw Paul fooling around the gun just before the accident.
23:59
And our top say proved that Frank was killed by a mixture of ours and
24:02
Nick and boron which Lizzie and Adam both say Paul was trying out as a
24:06
new spray for bean beetles. The bull was let out of his pen on
24:08
purpose, unquestionably to kill John Eames. Lizzie says she recognized the torn sleeve
24:15
of Paul's shirt on the arms she saw slip the latch. Adam agreed with
24:18
that. Unfortunately, Paul died without saying anything, so we don't know his
24:22
side of the story, but we do know he told John that Adam did
24:26
it. I don't need to hear no more, mister Carter. I'm packing
24:32
up and gettin out of here now to night. I'll help you pack,
24:34
Adam. I know where your things are. I ain't leaving you. You
24:38
ain't a persel. Lizzie. Tain't try to ask you to share my troubles,
24:42
but I want to, Adam. I've always looked after you. Do
24:45
you think I'm gonna stop now? Lizzie, you're real kind, but I
24:48
can't allow it. I can take care of myself, Adam. If I
24:53
were you, I wouldn't refuse Lizzie like that. Huh. He's in love
24:57
with you. She ain't neither. Lizzy's an old maid. That's where you're
25:02
wrong. That's where everybody went wrong. Lizzie is in love with you.
25:06
That's how all this came to happen. Nick, You aren't making any sense
25:08
now, Yes, I am, Patsy. Lizzie hated Paul for not marrying
25:12
her that time they re engaged. Now she's going to love Adam, and
25:15
she wanted him to have the farm because she thought that was what he wanted
25:18
more than anything else in the world. So she tried to kill off the
25:22
airs one after another and throw the blame on Paul. Put the safety catch
25:26
on Phil's gone, the poison that killed Frank, Oh John, Any farm
25:30
woman knows enough to do those things. And she killed your aunt Mary the
25:33
same way she tried to kill you. No trace of aconite is found on
25:36
your aunt's pillow because Lizzie changed the pillow case before calling for help. You'd
25:40
have changed yours too if things had gone right, But she didn't have time.
25:44
And every once in a while she spilled a little alcohol out of the
25:45
barrel in the cellar to keep the house smelling of it. But that's not
25:48
proof, meck no, it isn't. But I'm willing to bet that if
25:52
you look, you'll find she just changed Paul's pillowcase, and I don't doubt
25:57
you'll find that pillowcase still smelling of aac night somewhere in the house where the
26:00
purseales live, and that will be proof. You don't need to look pause.
26:06
I've done it, all of it, just like you say it was
26:08
easy. You're also dumb, just like old men. Never thought a woman
26:14
could do anything for you but cook and so letting the bull out of his
26:18
pen. You couldn't have done that, oh couldn't. I look at my
26:21
hands, He looked just like a man. I put one of Paul's shirts
26:25
under my skirt when I went out to the bar and slipped it over my
26:27
arm when I opened the boat. Nobody knowed it was me. Even them
26:30
as saw me do it didn't know. How did you know it? It
26:34
had to be that way. There was no other answer that would fit all
26:37
the facts. As I gathered the men. The exact method used and the
26:41
motive behind it were the things I had to find out before I could act.
26:45
Lizzie almost beat me to it this last time. I didn't think she
26:48
was ready to act so quickly. Gosh, Mick, I hate to think
26:52
of having to turn her over to the police. I've been here, I've
26:55
grown fond of Lizzie. They won't have to feel sorry for me, young
26:57
man, I do say, instead of talking about him and YO with John,
27:03
I took the rest of the apt night in the bottle. Just leave
27:06
me be. I'll die without now. Help for many of you. In
27:22
just a moment, Nick and Patsy will bring you a preview of next week's
27:25
exciting case. But first a word to the ladies. Homemaking is an art,
27:30
an art that brings genuine happiness to everyone who lives in a well kept
27:34
home, everyone who visits it. It's a real achievement to keep your home
27:38
attractive, so it's worthwhile to know how much help the three great Linax Home
27:44
bright news can give you. Linux cream Polish, for instance, restores the
27:48
original shining beauty of your fine furniture, disposes of blurry fingerprints almost by magic,
27:52
gets rid of that plotty film left by dust and all polish. Linux
27:57
cream Polish helps high ugly scratches too. Yet it takes only one quick application
28:03
because Linux cream polish actually cleans your furniture as it polishes, leaving its spick
28:07
and span, bringing out the true beauty of the wood. What's more,
28:11
Linux cream polish dries to a hard surface without oiliness to attract more dust.
28:18
Ask your dealer for the modern furniture polish, which cleans as it polishes,
28:22
saving one whole step in your cleaning routine. Ask him for Linux Cream polish
28:26
for fine furniture. You'll find all three great Linax Home Brightness, Linax self
28:33
Polishing, Wax, Linux Clear Glass Varnish, and Linux Cream Polish at your
28:37
nearest hardware paint or department store. And now let's hear from Nick Cutter himself.
28:51
Well, Nick, what new an exciting adventure do you plan to tell
28:52
us about next week? A scientist and inventor whose home was on the coast
28:56
was found in his laboratory one morning with a book. All it was for
29:00
it, much to my regret, because we were supposed to be vacationing up
29:03
there, not capturing murderers. Well, I suppose murderers have to be captured
29:07
no matter what happens, Yes, Ken, And this time I was intrigued
29:11
by the killing because the only clue that had any value was a piece of
29:15
rope, a kind of rope that none of us had ever seen before.
29:18
And there was a thundershower at midnight too, which helped to put the finger
29:21
on the killer. Sounds interesting, Yes, I'll listen. What's the title
29:23
of your story? I call it Crime at Cold Harbor or the Mystery of
29:29
the Murdered Scientists. And that's all for now. Details next week. So
29:33
long, So long everybody, and so long to both of you. We'll
29:37
be expecting to hear from you again next week as usual. Next week,
29:52
at the same time, listen to another curious experience of Nick Carter Master Detective
29:56
entitled Crime the Cold Harber or Nick Carter and the Mystery of the Murdered Scientists.
30:11
Nick Carter Master Detective is featured in Street and Smith magazines. Lon Clark
30:17
is starred as Nick, with Helen Chaunt as Patsy. Original music is played
30:21
by Lou White, and the programs are written and directed by Jack McGregor.
30:26
Nick Carter Master Detective is presented at this time and over these same stations each
30:30
week by the three great Linax Home Bright News, Linux Clear Gloss Varnish,
30:34
Linux Cream Polish and Linax Self Polishing Wax, created by Acme America's great producer
30:41
of Acme Fine Quality paints. This is Ken Powell speaking for the thousands of
30:47
Linux dealers all over America and saying so long until next week. This is
30:52
mutual welcome back. Patsy's comment in the Gezer was kind of a bit cold.
31:15
It was very unfortunate that scientist was murdered. It ruined my vacation plans.
31:21
But I guess that's what happens when uh, you go around working for
31:25
Nick Carter all the time, it becomes a little less shocking to you're just
31:29
like trapped. That just messed up my vacation plans. All right, that
31:33
will actually do it for today. We will be back tomorrow as we wrap
31:37
up the Primrose matter and also bring you another episode of Manhunt in the meantime.
