us to take a listen to today's episode of Sherlock Holmes The Golden pas Nays
1:12
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, where Sir John Gielgot and Sherlock Holmes and Sir
1:18
Ralph Richardson as our storyteller, Doctor James Watson. It was a wild,
1:23
tempestuous night towards the close of November eighteen ninety four. Poes and I sat
1:30
together in silence all the evening outside. The wind howled down Baker Street us
1:37
the rain beat fiercely against the windows. On such a night we were not
1:42
at all pleased to hear a cab draw up at our door and a ring
1:46
at the bell. Come in, Hopkins. I hope you know professional designs
1:53
upon us on a night like this. Draw up a chair, won't you?
1:55
And warm up does? Thank you? Mister Holmes. I suppose it
1:57
must be something important to ring you here at this hour and in such a
2:00
gale. It is. Indeed, mister Holmes, I've had a bustling afternoon,
2:05
I promise you. On the Yoxley case, I got the last train
2:07
back to town and came straight on by cab from Charing Cross. Yeah,
2:09
dear, that means I suppose that you're not quite clear about the case.
2:12
I can make neither head nor tail of it. There's no motive, mister
2:15
Holmes, and that's what bothers me. A man killed and no reason on
2:19
earth why anyone should wish him any harm. Very well, let's hear about
2:23
it. Happened in the house of an old man called Professor Korum. His
2:25
a semi invalid, keeps to his bed half the time. An elderly housekeeper
2:29
and a maid look after him, are both of excellent character. The Professor's
2:32
writing a book on coptic manuscripts and keeps a secretary to help him. The
2:37
last mister Willoughby Smith was the third. He's had a young man straight from
2:39
the university, quiet, hard working fellow. Yet this was the lad who
2:44
met his death this morning in the professor's study, under circumstances that can only
2:47
point to murder. It was between eleven and twelve this morning. Susan tart
2:52
and the maid was hanging some curtains in the upstairs front bedroom. Professor Korum
2:57
was still in bed. He celemnizes before midday. The housekeeper was busy at
3:00
the back of the house. Willoughby Smith had been in his bedroom, which
3:04
he uses as a sitting room. The maid heard him come out of his
3:07
room, go along the passage and downstairs to the study at the room below
3:10
her. A minute or two later, there was a dreadful cry from that
3:15
room, a wild horse scream. At the same instant there was a heavy
3:21
thud which swed the whole house, then silence. The maid stood petrified for
3:25
a moment, then, recovering her courage, she ran downstairs. The study
3:30
door was shut and she opened it. Inside mister Willoughby Smith was stretched on
3:36
the floor and blood was pouring from a wound in his neck. On the
3:38
floor. Nearby was a blood stained stiletto. She recognized it as one the
3:42
professor kept on his desk and used as a paper knife. I take it
3:46
that the young man was already dead. At first, the maid thought so,
3:47
But when she poured some water over his father, he opened his eyes
3:51
for a second. Oh sir, what's happened? Oh tell me, tell
3:59
me the professor it was she Those were his last words. He tried desperately
4:10
to say something else. Then he fell back dead. The housekeeper arrived just
4:15
after he had died, leaving Susan with the body. She hurd into the
4:17
Professor's room. He was sitting up in bed, terribly agitated. The housekeeper
4:21
told him what had happened? You've questioned the professor, of course? Oh
4:25
yes, he says, you heard the distant cry, but knows nothing more.
4:28
His first action was to send for the police. I've been put in
4:31
charge of the case, mister Holmes, but ah, I'm so battled life.
4:34
I come to you as afraid. Well, well, well we must
4:36
see what we can do. Can you give me some idea as to the
4:40
disposition of the rooms? You say, the study door was closed. Was
4:44
that the only door of that room. There were three doors to the study,
4:48
the one by which the maid and Willoughby Smith had entered, and two
4:53
other doors at the opposite ends of the room. Of these, one led
4:57
by way of a corridor till the professor, the other led by a similar
5:00
corridor to the back door of the house, which was unlocked. There could
5:05
be little doubt but that the murderer had entered this way, and there was
5:10
no other way by which he or she could possibly have left without meeting the
5:15
maid at one door, or running into the Professor's bedroom by way of the
5:18
other. The path from that door was saturated with rain and would certainly have
5:25
shown any footmarks. My examination showed me that I was dealing with a cautious
5:29
and expert criminal, for there were no footmarks to be found on the path,
5:32
but the grass verge was trodden down, and my inquiries proved that it
5:35
could only have been trodden down by the murderer. Well, well, now,
5:39
these tracks on the grass, coming or going or both, it was
5:44
impossible to say. There was never any outline large footprints or small one.
5:46
I wasn't able to make them out. Well, it's been pouring with rain
5:49
and blowing a hudegan. Ever since, they'll be harder to read to morrow
5:54
morning. Anything else in the study there's a desk, a bureau, and
5:59
a cupboard. The professor assures me that nothing is missing. So it seemed
6:01
certain that robbery was not the murderer's aim. How about the wound on the
6:05
body. The stab was on the right side of the neck and from behind,
6:11
so that it's almost impossible it could have been self inflicted unless he fell
6:14
on the knife exactly. The idea crossed my mind. But the knife was
6:16
some feet away, and an other man's dying words. But most important of
6:21
all, the dead man had a small object tightly grasped in his right hand.
6:30
Well, Watson, what do you make of the The object was a
6:36
pair of gold rimmed spectacles, or more properly, a golden parsnay, a
6:42
type of glass, which clipped on to the bridge of the nose. From
6:46
them hung two broken ends of black silk cord. Holmes examined the glasses with
6:51
the greatest attention. He held them on his nose, he tried to read
6:55
through them, he looked out of the window, and then he handed them
6:59
back topkins with a chapel. Well, my dear Hopkins wanted a woman of
7:03
good address, a tird like a lady. She has a remarkably thick nose,
7:09
with eyes that are set close upon either side of it, a pocket
7:13
forehead, appearing expression, and probably rounded shoulders. As she has been to
7:16
an opetition at least twice during the last few months, it should be easy
7:19
enough to trace her. But how did you find all that out? Simplicity
7:24
itself. From their delicacy and the dying man's last words, I deduced they
7:28
belonged to a woman. Anybody who wore such expensive and elegant glasses would be
7:32
pretty sure to be well dressed. The width of the clips tells me she
7:35
has a broad nose, and the position of the lens tells me that her
7:39
eyes are set closely together. You would see that the glasses are of unusual
7:43
strength. A lady whose vision is so contracted is sure to have the physical
7:46
characteristics of such vision, the forehead, the eyelids, and shoulders. But
7:48
how do you arrive at the double visit to the optician. The clips are
7:53
lined with tiny bands of cork, one newer than the other, both comparatively
7:56
new. They exactly correspond, So I presume that the lady went to the
7:59
same optition for both. Well, Hopkins, if you've nothing more to tell
8:03
me, I suggest we all turn in for the night. It will be
8:05
quite comfortable on this sofa, I believe, and in the morning we can
8:09
make an early start. The gale will blown itself out next day. But
8:15
it was a bitter morning when we started upon our journey. We saw the
8:18
cold winter sun rise over the very marshes of the Thames and the long southern
8:24
reaches of the river. Well, at last we reached the end of our
8:28
journey. This is the garden path of which I told you, mister Holmes.
8:30
And which side were the marks on the glass bird? At this side?
8:35
You can't see them now, I'm afraid, but they were clear enough
8:37
yesterday. Yes he yes, I can see someone has walked along it.
8:39
The lady must have picked her way very carefully, mustn't she. I'm very
8:43
wide And you say she must have come back the same way she must have
8:46
done. There was no other way open to her. Not remarkable or performance
8:50
quite remarkable. One thing we can be sure of. The murder was not
8:52
premeditated, or the lady would have brought some weapon with her, rather than
8:56
picking up that paper knife off the desk. Well, let's go into the
9:00
house. We entered the back door and advanced along the corridor to the door
9:05
of the study. As the floor was covered with coconut matting, there was
9:09
nothing to be learnt from it. When we reached the study, Holmes conducted
9:13
his usual feather examination of the walls, flaw and furniture. Before the bureau,
9:18
he paused, no scratch on the lock of this bureau A prick ring
9:26
for the maid? Will you, my dear Watson, why didn't you tell
9:28
me about this? Hopkins? You'll always signed scratches around the key? Hold?
9:31
Sure, yes, yes, yes, but this is quite a recent
9:33
one. Ah, yes, did you ring? Sir? Yes? I
9:37
did. When was this room dusted last? Oh, yesterday morning? Sir?
9:41
I did it myself. Did you notice this scratch? And no,
9:45
sir, I didn't. I'm sure you didn't. A duster would have swept
9:48
away those shreds of varnish. I can see through my glass. Who has
9:52
the key to this bureau? The professor keeps it on his watch chain.
9:56
It was in his bedroom with him at the time of the murder. Very
9:58
good we seem to be making a little progress. Our lady enters the room,
10:03
advances to the bureau, and either opens it or tries to do so.
10:05
While she's thus engaged, Willoughby Smith enters the room in her hurry to
10:09
withdraw the key. She makes the scratch near the lock. He seizes the
10:13
intruder, and she's snatching up the nearest object, which happens to be the
10:18
stiletto, strikes him in the neck to make him let go his hold.
10:22
Smith is fatally wounded, falls to the floor, and his assailant escapes,
10:26
either with or without the object for which she came. Now, then,
10:31
Susan, could anyone have got away through that door over there at the time
10:35
you heard the cry? Oh no, sir, it's impossible. I'd just
10:39
seen him in the passage. Thank you. Then you were quite right about
10:43
the exit, Hopkins. The lady must have gone out the way she came
10:46
in. But what about this third door I think you said that leads to
10:50
the professor's room. There's no other exit by it from the house that way,
10:56
and nobody could have hidden in the corridor without being found by the house
11:00
keeper. When she ran to tell the professor what had happened. Well,
11:03
let us go and make the professor's acquaintance. Oh, this corridor also is
11:09
lined with coconut metting. I see. Do you think it's important? Well,
11:13
well, I don't insist upon it, but no doubt I'm wrong,
11:16
but it seems to me to be suggestive. Come along, I am anxious
11:20
to meet the professor. We passed down the passage, which was the same
11:26
length as that which led to the garden. As Hopkins knocked at the door,
11:31
I mean, good morning, professor. May I present mister Sherlock Holmes
11:37
and doctor Watson. It was a large room and books that had overflowed from
11:45
their shelves, laying piles on the floor and around the bed. Who was
11:48
tacked in heaps at the side of a huge bookcase. The bed was in
11:52
the center of the room, and on it, popped up with pillows,
11:56
was the owner of the house. The cigarette glowed amid the tangle of his
12:00
white beard. The air of the room was stale tobacco smoke. As he
12:05
held out his hand to Holmes, I perceived that it also was stained yellow
12:09
with nicotine. Well, well, mister Sherlock Holmes, this is a surprise.
12:16
A smoker mister Holmes, pray, take a cigarette and you sa no
12:20
nothing I can recommend them for I have them specially prepared by ionidsa Alexandria.
12:24
He sends me a thousand at a time, but I grieve to say I
12:28
have to arrange for a fresh supply every fortnight. Though Holmes was much addicted
12:33
to his bra pipe, I'd never known him except a cigarette before. Indeed,
12:37
he seemed on the point of refusing it on this occasion, when changing
12:41
his mind, he accepted it and began to smoke with a strange nervous rapidity.
12:46
Tobacco in my work, but now only tobacco allows. What a fatal
12:50
interruption to my book? Who could have foreseen such a terrible tragedy so estimably
12:56
young man? I assure you that after a few months raiming, he was
13:00
an admirable assistant. What do you think of the matter, mister Holmes,
13:05
I'm afraid I'd not yet made up my mind. Professor, I shall indeed
13:07
be indebted to you if you can throw light where all is dark to us,
13:11
to a poor bookworm and invalid like myself, such a blow is paralyzing.
13:15
Well, I will do everything in my part to clear it up by
13:16
the way, I find these cigarettes unusually good and might I but of course,
13:22
please help yourself. Thank you, Thank you, most delightful to the
13:24
palace. Quite a refreshing change from me, Watson, and spoking with a
13:28
rapidity I've never seen before. Sherdock Holmes began to pace up and down the
13:33
bedroom. Holmes continued to pace up and down the room, still smoking feverishly
13:39
as he listened to the sumaous flow of speech. That pile of papers on
13:43
the table. There is my magnum opus, some work which will cut deep
13:46
into the very foundations of revealed religion. And I won't trouble you with any
13:50
length across examination, since I gather you would in bed here when the crime
13:54
was committed and could not possibly know anything about it. I would only ask
13:56
this, what do you imagine the poor fellow meant by his last words the
14:01
professor? It was she susan uneasy country girl, mister Holmes, and you
14:07
know the incredible stupidity of the class. I thank you. The poor fellow
14:11
murmured some incoherent, delirious words, and she twisted them into this meaningless message.
14:16
Let's see, you have no explanation in yourself of the tragedy, possibly
14:20
an accident, possibly a suicide. We must apologize for having disturbed you so
14:26
long, Professor Korham. I promise we sha'n't intrude on you again until after
14:30
Lush. I'll have another look around the garden if I may, and at
14:33
two o'clock report to you anything that may have emerged in the Meanwhile, we
14:37
withdrew from the bedroom and made our way out into the garden. Holmes was
14:41
carelessly thistray, and we walked up and down for some time in silence.
14:46
At last, i'd broke in on his thoughts by asking him whether he'd found
14:48
any clue. It all depends on these cigarettes I've smoked. It's possible.
14:54
I'm quite mistaken, of course, but those cigarettes will show me. My
14:58
dear Holmes, how are well? You'll see for yourself. Ye not,
15:01
there's no harm done. Ah, there's the housekeeper. I should like a
15:05
word with her. Yes, mister Holmes is as you say, sir.
15:11
He does smoke something terrible all day and sometimes all night. Sir. His
15:16
health well, I don't know whether it's better or worse for the smoking,
15:20
but smoking as much as that kills the epida, doesn't it. Well,
15:24
I don't know about that, sir. I mean, I suppose the Professor
15:26
eats hardly anything at all. Well, he's variable, I'll say that for
15:31
him. I wager he took no breakfast this morning and weren't facing any lunch
15:35
after all those cigarettes I saw him get through. When you're out there,
15:37
sir, as it happens, follet a remarkably big breakfast this morning, and
15:41
I'm surprised myself. But since I came into that room yesterday and saw young
15:46
mister Smith lying there on the floor, I couldn't bear to look at food.
15:52
Oh well, it takes all sorts to make a world, As you
15:54
say, missus Marker, it takes all sorts to make a worl We loitered
16:00
the rest of the morning away in the garden. The susan who waited upon
16:03
us at lunch volunteered the information that mister Smith had been out for a walk
16:07
the previous morning, and it only returned some half an hour before the tragedy
16:12
occurred. To add, gentleman, we can now go up and have it
16:15
out with our friend the Professor. Well, mister Holmes, have you solved
16:22
this mystery yet another set after your lunch. Oh, thank you. I
16:26
hope God dear careless of me and let me pick them up. Wonderful our
16:32
father row, isn't it. Yeah, I think that's the last. No
16:37
harm done, that's the mystery. Yes, I've solved it. You have
16:44
indeed out in the garden. No, no, no, in here.
16:45
Very well, mister Holmes, I shall be very interested. Yesterday lady entered
16:51
your study. She came with the intention of possessing as alf of certain documents
16:55
which were in your bureau. She had a key of her own. I've
16:59
had an opportunity examining yours, as you may remember, but I didn't find
17:02
that slight discoloration which a scratch made upon the varnish of the bureau would have
17:06
produced, So you weren't an accessory. And she came, as far as
17:11
I can read the evidence, to rob you without your knowledge. In the
17:14
first place, she was seized by your secretary whilst relocking the bureau and stabbed
17:18
him with the knife in order to escape. I fancied the stabbing was an
17:22
unhappy accident, but I am convinced the lady had no intention of injuring him
17:25
seriously. A murderice doesn't come unarmed, But horrified by what she had done,
17:29
she rushed wildly away from the scene of the tragedy. Unfortunately for her,
17:33
she had lost her glasses in the scuttle, and as she was extremely
17:37
short sighted, she was really helpless without them. She ran down a corridor,
17:41
as she thought the one by which she had entered the study, and
17:44
only when it was too late she realized that she'd taken the wrong door and
17:47
the wrong passage, and that her a treat was cut off behind her.
17:51
What was she to do. She couldn't go back, she couldn't remain where
17:53
she was. She must go on, and she went on. She went
17:57
through the corridor, pushed from the door, and found herself in this room.
18:03
All very fine, mister Holmes, but there's one little flaw in your
18:07
splendid theory. I was myself in this room and i never left it during
18:11
the whole day, because I'm quite aware of that, Professor cor And you
18:14
mean to say I could lie in bed and not be aware that a woman
18:17
had entered my room. I never said so. You were aware of it.
18:19
You spoke to her, you recognized her, You aided her to escape.
18:25
You you're mad you're talking insanely. I helped her to escape. Where
18:29
is she now? There? Even as Homes spoke, a woman stepped out
18:33
from behind the big bookcase. I saw at once that she had the exact
18:37
physical characteristics that Holmes had divined. What at her short sight and the sudden
18:44
bright light that blinded her, she stood us one, dazed, blinking about
18:48
her to see who we were. I give myself up to you, sir.
18:53
I am your prisoner. From where I stood, I could hear everything,
18:57
and I know that you have and the truth. I confess it all.
19:03
It was I who killed the young man. I have only a little
19:07
time here, but I would have you know the whole truth. I am
19:12
this man's wife. He is a Russian, but his name I will not
19:17
tell. God bless you, Anna. Why should you cling so hard to
19:21
that wretched life of your servius. It has done harm to many and good
19:25
to none, not even to yourself. However, it is not for me
19:30
to give you away. I have enough already upon my soul since I crossed
19:36
the threshold of this cursor. The story she told us was almost incredible in
19:41
its characters and setting Russia, Siberian prison camps and nihilists. Both the professor
19:48
and she his wife, had been engaged in revolutionary activities many years before,
19:53
along with their comrades. They have been arrested in order to save his own
19:57
life. Her husband had betrayed not only his friends, but her as well.
20:03
She and the others had been sent to Siberia. The Professor had been
20:07
set free and had come to England under an assumed name, But content with
20:11
that little piece of Villanare, he had let an innocent man suffer along with
20:15
the guilty. He was noble, unselfish, loving all that my husband was
20:21
not. He hated violence and wrote forever dissuading me from such a course.
20:26
Those letters of his would have saved him, so would my day in which
20:30
I had written about him and our secret love. My husband found and kept
20:36
both the Darian the letters. He hid them, and he tried to swear
20:40
away the young man's life. In this he failed, but Alexis was sent
20:45
to Siberia, where he's still working in the salt mine. When my sentence
20:51
had been served, I followed my husband to England, and after months of
20:55
searching, I discovered where he was living. My one aim was to get
21:00
my hands upon those letters and the diary and give them to the Russian government
21:03
to make them release my innocent friend. Yesterday I took the papers. There
21:11
is, as you said, two points how much yet quite clear to me,
21:12
madame? How did you come to have a duplicate key to the bureau.
21:15
I had employed a private inquiry agent to take a position as my husband's
21:19
secretary. It was your last secretary, servius who left so suddenly he told
21:26
me where the papers must be kept, and he gave me a wax impression
21:30
of the key. But he would go no further. I understand. And
21:33
yesterday, as you were coming to get those papers, you met a young
21:37
man in the street. It was it was the young man I killed.
21:44
I asked him to wait at the professor's house. I did not your mind
21:48
who he were. Ah, that explains it all, Smith, I told
21:51
you about the meeting professor, hadn't he as soon as he came in?
21:55
And that was what he meant afterwards, By his dying words, he was
21:59
trying to say who his assailant was, that woman he had told you about
22:03
some few minutes before. But stop her. At last we were too late
22:10
to save her. Even as Holmes saw the glint of the gun she had
22:14
shot herself in the breast. With her dying breath, she charged him with
22:18
seeing that the little package of letters and the diary should be given to the
22:22
Russian embassy in London, which in due course they were, And as we
22:29
traveled back to Baker Street that night, Holmes at last condescended to explain how
22:33
the mystery had been solved. A simple case, yet in some ways an
22:41
instructive one. In Hinge. From the outset on the pass, it was
22:45
clear to me from the strength of the glasses at the well I would be
22:48
almost blind without them. She would certainly not have been able to pick her
22:51
way a hundred yards along a narrow grass verge to the gate. As there
22:55
was no other way that she could have escaped. It occurred to me that
22:56
perhaps she hadn't escaped at all. When I saw that both corridors were covered
23:00
with coconut matting, I began to wonder whether she hadn't mistaken one for the
23:04
other, and burst in on the professor in his room. So I examined
23:08
that room curribly. I noticed that although books were piled all over the floor,
23:12
they were not piled in front of that big bookcase in the corner,
23:17
and I began to wonder whether the mysterious lady might not still be hiding behind
23:21
it, since she had no possible chance of escaping later with the police guard
23:23
in the premises, so I stood a lot of cigarette ash just in front
23:26
of the bookcase to remember how many cigarettes I smoked, and waited until the
23:30
professor had had his lunch. Then I upset his box of cigarettes in order
23:34
to examine the ash. I'd been right, it was trodden down by someone
23:40
who had stepped from behind the bookcase while we were at hard Lack. In
23:42
fact, I was not at all surprised to find how hearted the Professor had
23:45
been eating since the tragedy, for he had needed to order enough for two
24:30
welcome back. You know, I've heard a lot of versions with the story
24:34
I read it. I watched the Jeremy Brett TV version, and we heard
24:41
I heard the John Stanley version, and now I heard this one. This
24:45
one, to me, seemed to put less emphasis on kind of the melodramatic
24:51
circumstances leading up to the crime than most others do, and I think that
24:56
was a good thing. This story is usually not one of my favorites.
25:00
But I think they did a good job with it all right. Well listener
25:03
comments and feedback. We have one comment regarding Sherlock Holmes from Brian. Brian
25:11
comments, I love the Sherlock Holmes series. I like Sir John Gielgood as
25:17
Sherlock, and the man playing doctor Watson is a vast improvement over the one
25:21
on the clipper Craft segments. The clipper Craft shows always had a studio audience
25:26
heard at the beginning and end. Was it actually recorded in front of a
25:29
live audience or was that just added hope you never run out of homes.
25:33
Thanks for the hours of enjoyment. While I don't have any definitive information,
25:38
kind of to take your question about the audience first, any definitive information from
25:47
everything I've heard, it does indicate there really was a studio audience there.
25:52
Usually having a studio audience was a sign of pride, It wasn't something they
25:56
would fake. Plus, the acoustics of the program in several instances, particularly
26:06
when they were doing some of the ads, really kind of told me that
26:10
a studio audience was there. To do this radio in front of a studio
26:15
audience, and to do it well is definitely a tough task. I admire
26:18
anybody who takes that on. It's tough enough for me to just record commentaries
26:26
in my wife's upstairs office or in my living room, so I can really
26:33
appreciate the challenge of that. And I will give some credit to the Imagination
26:41
Theater in Seattle. Their programs are actually recorded in front of a live audience,
26:49
and you can hear them in some episodes of Harry Nile laughing at the
26:56
jokes and then of course at the end. Most of the Golden studio audiences,
27:00
if it was a dramatic program, were silent throughout the show unless there
27:06
was an occasion for their to speak up. One of the most famous instances
27:11
of this was a Screen Guild theater was doing its adaptation of Casablanca and and
27:22
the scene in the in the in wrecks where the where the people sing the
27:30
French anthem. The audience actually, you know, this was the middle of
27:34
World War Two, audience actually joined in in singing in that particular adaptation.
27:41
But usually, other than applause between acts, studio audience is pretty silent.
27:45
One exception to that is man called acts where they would have funny lines and
27:51
the audience there wouldn't be any compunction or reservation about them responding as to never
27:57
running out of Sherlock Holmes. Unfortunately, we are reaching the end. At
28:06
the end of this month, we will actually be all done with Sherlock Holmes
28:11
on the program, and I'm definitely sorry to see it in. It's been
28:18
great for so many years. But we've got two shows to go, and
28:23
I hope folks will be listening and that they'll be worthwhile for you. All
28:29
Right, well, that will actually do it for today. We will be
28:33
back tomorrow where we'll wrap up the Kronin Matter, and then we'll be starting
28:41
a new Carter Brown mystery. And join us back here next Thursday for another
28:47
episode of Sherlock Holmes. Send your comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectors dot
