- 1:34us to take our last listen to pursuit. Here now is Pursuit and the
- 1:40Asiatic Killer. And now Urseu verset you, a criminal strikes and fades quickly
- 2:01back into the shadows of his own dark world. And then the man from
- 2:07Scotland Yard, the famous Inspector Peter Black, and the dangerous relentless pursuit when
- 2:14man hunts man in just a moment to Night's story. Because ordinary laxatives act
- 2:30only in your lower digestive tract, they cannot relieve the acid stomach upset that
- 2:35often accompanies irregularity. Thus they are only half effective. For relief that's fully
- 2:40effective, you need a laxative that also acts in your stomach, and that
- 2:44means Haley's AMO. It provides thorough relief because it works in two places instead
- 2:50of only one. Therefore it makes you feel better, infinitely better than ordinary
- 2:55preparations. Try Haley's MMO. It's the best laxative ever made. Now with
- 3:04Ben Wright Stard is the famous Inspector Peter Black of Scotland Yard, we bring
- 3:07you Tonight's story, Pursuit and the Asiatic Killer. H and it change doctor
- 3:51read new inspector none at all. I've just been talking to the wife.
- 3:54He thinks you should take him to a hospital. Now, can I just
- 3:58touch and go happy, afraid to move if she wants to come in now,
- 4:01it's too weak even the slightest excitement. Nurse, give me another hypodermic.
- 4:09Please, here you are, doctor, thank you. Do you think
- 4:25he was in his right mind about saying he was poison From the looks of
- 4:29it, I JA, it's not a natural illness, then the definitely not.
- 4:32The man suddenly falls ill, claims he's been poisoned. You've seen the
- 4:36symptoms before. Look at him now, yes, well, nurse tell missus
- 4:46Callender to come in. James, he's isn't he. He's all right,
- 5:02James, James. He can't hear you, Missus Calendar. I'm fraid,
- 5:09James, James. Doctor, doctor, do something. I'm sorry, No,
- 5:16no, don't say that. No, he's all right, James.
- 5:23Oh, James. James Calender died at two minutes past three in the morning.
- 5:40He had been stricken sometime before midnight before going into a coma. He
- 5:44insisted that someone had poisoned him and that his wife knew who had done it,
- 5:48and then he didn't wake up again. It was only a few hours
- 5:51later the detective Sergeant Mufett telephoned the autopsy report to my office. It was
- 5:57ten o'clock that Tuesday morning. Topsy reports it I do it, mufin.
- 6:01The doctor was wrong. It wasn't poisoned. Oh no, sir, the
- 6:06men died of asiatic cholera. A good deal of your personal charm and attractiveness
- 6:28is the result of a lovely, winning smile. But more and more people
- 6:31are finding that a change in their way of cleaning their teeth in an effort
- 6:35to prevent tooth decay, has caused their smiles to fade, has robbed their
- 6:41teeth of whiteness and brightness. Now this can happen to you gradually without your
- 6:46even noticing it. So use a data verse that not only helps prevent tooth
- 6:49decay, but also whitens and brightens your teeth beautifully, makes them really clean.
- 6:56And no data verus cleans teeth like powder. Tried doctor lyons toothpowder.
- 7:00And if you don't agree that it gets your teeth cleaner than the data press
- 7:03you are now using, that it whitens and brightens your teeth, so your
- 7:08smile sparkles with all of its old time luster. Return the package and your
- 7:13money will be refunded. You can buy regular doctor Lions, toothpowder, or
- 7:16if you want the best of the emoriated tooth powders, buy ammoniated doctor Lyons.
- 7:21No matter which you prefer, be sure you get doctor Lyons and get
- 7:27back your winning smile. Asiatic cholera one of the most severe and fatal diseases
- 7:43known to man. It had killed James Callender, and in his agony he
- 7:46had cried out against a poisoner. If this was true that a murderer had
- 7:51used cholera germs to committee his crime, then Scotland Yard was searching for a
- 7:56lunatic in possession of a weapon as deadly, if not more so, than
- 7:59the atomic bomb. I took the case to commission a hartness. Devil is
- 8:03seriously blake. I know the course men may have been raving well. I
- 8:07thought of that with color. Good lord, if something like that got loose
- 8:13again, Oh, before we go into prethersor it might be an idea to
- 8:16phone the Ministry of Health. May have been a few other cases. Good
- 8:18good, chief medical officer, what's his name? Or as Connor Devon?
- 8:24Right? Right, hello, standard, get me sir Conrad Devon at the
- 8:31Ministry of Health. Would you all right? I don't like this. I
- 8:37don't like it at all. Do you know anything about the dead men?
- 8:41I know? No, I told you I haven't been back yet because I
- 8:43wanted to wait for the autopsy report. Yes, quite right, quite right.
- 8:48What was that he said about his wife knowing? Or that was just
- 8:52before he became unconscious? He was, he was whispering. My wife knows,
- 8:56Myra knows. Ask her that was on? He said. He didn't
- 9:00speak after that. We haven't had a case of this sort for nearly Yeah,
- 9:05pretty grim if it's true. You know, yes, I left Conrad
- 9:09sen over a Ministry of Health man head. For heaven's sake, Blake,
- 9:13don't let this get out to the new staper. No, we want her.
- 9:20At one o'clock, the truth of the matter was settled. The Ministry
- 9:24of Health's biologists, as well as our own people, put the lid on
- 9:26it. They made several tests, and the results of each told us that
- 9:31James Callander had died of asiatic cholera. Now it was my job to find
- 9:35out how. I went back to question the buried. Why the blinds of
- 9:41the house were drawn, and although the sun was shining brilliantly in the street,
- 9:45the sitting room was somber with the air of death. I don't know
- 9:50what I can tell you. I don't know what I can say. Your
- 9:54husband thought he had been poisoned, but why no one would well? He
- 9:58also said that you knew who had done it? How could I know such
- 10:01a thing? How could I? Well, that's what I should like to
- 10:05know. Do you no, unless would go on? Well? I remember
- 10:11when he first became ill. He had terrible cramps. He said he thought
- 10:16he must have eaten something that poisoned him. He was in pain, but
- 10:20I don't think he was very worried at the time. Perhaps that's what he
- 10:24meant when he said that I knew. I see. But missus Calendar,
- 10:30can you think of anyone who might want to hurt him? No? Yeah,
- 10:33according to your doctor's report, mister Calendar complained of feeling ill the day
- 10:37before he died. Yes, but he didn't think it was serious, not
- 10:41poisoned. It couldn't have been that. Why why don't you tell me the
- 10:46truths? How did he die? I'm afraid I can't tell you that just
- 10:50now, Missus Calender. Do you think he was murdered? No, we're
- 10:54not certain. We're trying to find out because he said that someone had poisoned
- 10:58him, yes, and because he said that you knew the person, but
- 11:01I don't. There couldn't be anybody. We are not the sort of people
- 11:07who have enemies. I see. And what did your husband do, Missus
- 11:11Calender? He owns the shop? Well, he owned a shop, and
- 11:15what kind of shop? Cameras and largeist? You know? Well? Is
- 11:20there someone else who was in business with him? Yes, his partner,
- 11:22mister Denning. But oh would you give me the shop address? Pies three
- 11:26four one Edgeware Road. Thank you, and Missus Calender, I noticed as
- 11:33I came in the luggage in the hall. Were you planning to go somewhere?
- 11:37Why? Yes, Oh, well you'll find out anyway. I suppose
- 11:43James and I were separating. I would have left him two days ago if
- 11:48this hadn't happened. I see, it was perfectly friendly. I don't think
- 11:52I loved him anymore, but I was very fond of him. Missus Calender,
- 11:58I must ask you not to leave London a few days at least until
- 12:01we've made our investigations. But I've made my plans, surely, I promise,
- 12:05as soon as we're satisfied, I'll let you know. You'll be free
- 12:07to go wherever you like, all right, And now a medical officer will
- 12:11be calling here a little while. He'll want to make one or two simple
- 12:15tests. Why I can please give him your cooperation, Missus Calendar. But
- 12:18why what kind of tests? I'm afraid I can't tell you that just now.
- 12:22But we want to make sure that no one else will die the way
- 12:24that your husband did. We still had no positive proof that James Calendar had
- 12:33been murdered. There was only his dying word. So I checked back with
- 12:37the yard before going to the camera shop in the Edgeway Road. There's nothing
- 12:41here, sir. Ministry of Health called a few minutes ago. They haven't
- 12:46got any other reports of color up to now. All right, Margaret,
- 12:48Now look, I want you to go out to the Calendar place in Salmon
- 12:52Street. Are want you to get names and addresses of anyone who may have
- 12:54been in contact with Calendar a week before he died. And Missus Calender should
- 12:58be able to give you the internet. You wonder something, no, marpat,
- 13:01but I want to make sure that no one else comes down with cholera.
- 13:05And when you get those names, you send them on to the Ministry
- 13:07of Health. They'll have to test them writer. Yes, yes, sir.
- 13:28Oh by the way, what are those cameras? Is here? No,
- 13:31sir? The like it? Yes, sir, it was Lucky the
- 13:33three F model. Yes, sir, I will goodbye doctor. Good afternoon,
- 13:39sir, Good afternoon, stef Inspector Black Scotland Yard. Oh is something
- 13:43the matter? Yes, sir, your partner, mister Callendar Calendar, I
- 13:46don't quite. Haven't you heard? Mister heard what he died last night?
- 13:52Good lord? No, how, I'm rather surprised that you hadn't heard.
- 13:56I knew he was ill yesterday. His wife tell I was going to ring
- 14:01up this afternoon. I had no idea how did he die? What happened?
- 14:07Or we're trying to determine that, mister Denning suicide. Well, we're
- 14:11not try I can't believe it. Can you tell me anything about him,
- 14:15his state of mind in the past few days. There's nothing to tell he
- 14:18was no different. We're nothing troubling. Impossibly, your business relationship was satisfactory,
- 14:22exceedingly. Finances these days as good as they can be under the circumstances.
- 14:28Did you know about the separation action between Calendar and his wife. Yes,
- 14:33did he appear upset about it? No? No, it was calm
- 14:37and quite deliberate on their part. The most sensible thing to do, Tony
- 14:43is mister Calendar in the habit of frequenting foreign restaurants Chinese. Perhaps not as
- 14:48far as I know. In fact, I'm almost positive that he didn't Calendar
- 14:52like very simple cooking. I can't understand. I mean that he's dead.
- 14:58It's a terrible shocked to me. How did he die? I'm sorry,
- 15:01sir, I'm not at liberty to tell you that. It's just one more
- 15:05thing. Did Callander confide in you a mention of an event in his past?
- 15:11Let's say, don't exactly follow you. Do you mean an event which
- 15:15could have led to this? Yes? No, No, I'm sure not.
- 15:20He was a quiet man, lived a sense of a life. That's
- 15:22why are you? Yes? I understand now? Wonder if I may look
- 15:24through his earpies papers. You know, of course we share one at the
- 15:28back. However, Calendar has his own desk. Will you come this way
- 15:31please? I spent an hour searching through James Callender's papers, and at the
- 15:48end of that time there wasn't the slightest evidence which could be used as a
- 15:52motive of murder. It began to appear that the dying man's statements were the
- 15:56ravings of delirium, in which case it was an even more frightening job for
- 16:00us and for the Ministry of Health. One case of asiatic color, although
- 16:03a terrible danger, can be controlled if the case is checked, and we
- 16:07still had no idea of the cause. I sent Denning to the nearest divisional
- 16:11police surgeon for his color attest, and then I returned to the yard.
- 16:15It wasn't until the next day that we began to learn a little more.
- 16:18Not much to go on, sir, I know of it, but one
- 16:22case of colera like that, it just doesn't make sense. A certainly somebody
- 16:26else must have got it. I suppose the question of waiting. Now see
- 16:29if it turns up again. I've got that list from missus callender. They've
- 16:33all been contacted. I wonder how many more there are who might have come
- 16:37into the shop. Still Denning hasn't got it yet. That's a hope.
- 16:42Hello are yeah, Gray, commissioner this weekend? Oh yes, sir,
- 16:45what have you come in for a moment? Please right, sir, I'll
- 16:48be on the Commission's office man, you mean ray And look here we've got
- 17:06some rather alarming news. Ministry of Health has done a little more work on
- 17:11the case cholera. Nothing's changed there, but they don't think it's a natural
- 17:15case. Oh really, they're reasonably certain that the dead men ate something.
- 17:19Probably but a week ago the germs were in that something. Well, yes,
- 17:26but that doesn't mean to say that if it was a week ago,
- 17:29the food must have been either eaten in a restaurant or bought it a grossers.
- 17:33Now, if that's the case, it's almost impossible that one man would
- 17:37come down with cholera and no one else. Is there any chance of an
- 17:41immunity with others who ate the same food? I asked the same question they
- 17:45said with cholera. No, you realize what this means, Black, I'm
- 17:51afraid, says, Yes, somebody used the germs as a poison. The
- 17:55ministered at the calender and list another case or two comes along, it's going
- 17:59to be up to us. A wife must know something then, and calendar
- 18:02swore that you didn't go ahead of the Again, we've got to make a
- 18:06talk. Yes, Hello, off into and Commissioner. Nine nine nine calls
- 18:11come in, Sir, well, what's up, doctor Reed? Just rang
- 18:15through, says you at the calendar address wants us to come over. Something's
- 18:18happened to missus, calendar. Keep it clean with energy. If an accumulation
- 18:37of dirt and grease has robbed your upholstered things of their original beauty, energy

- 19:40second act of pursuit and the Asiatic killer commission of Harkness. Muppet and I
- 19:56raced to the Heisin Salmon Street. It was in a dock when we arrived.
- 20:00Constable took us upstairs and Doctor Reid was waiting for us outside the bedroom
- 20:03door. Yeah, what's happened here? I don't know exactly. The front
- 20:11door was opened. She was lying on the floor in the hall, a
- 20:12nasty wound in her head. I called you, and in the Constable was
- 20:15passing. Yes, I think how did you happen to be passing? Doctor?
- 20:21I wanted to look in, said Missus Calender. Was all right?
- 20:25I told her that I would last night. I see may I speak to
- 20:27her? Yes, I think it'll be all right. Not for too long,
- 20:30eh, good evening, Missus Calender. Where did he go the man?
- 20:45Did you see him? No? It was dark. I'd been shopping.
- 20:52I came in the door and I saw someone standing in the hall.
- 20:56The light wouldn't work, and then he came toward me. And you didn't
- 21:00have time to run to the door. No, I must have screamed and
- 21:03he hit enough. No more talking. I'm going to give you something to
- 21:07make you sleep for a little while. We'll wait outside. Doctor. I'm
- 21:11only thankful I was nearby. I'll have a headache, but it won't be
- 21:14anything worse. Hey, what do you think black I don't know, sir.
- 21:21Of course she may know something and isn't aware of what it means to
- 21:23the murderer. Wait to have a look about it. You know. Whoever
- 21:27it was that waited for her must have been familiar with the house. Probably
- 21:32saw I go out and slipped in and wait, oh Marvin, here,
- 21:36sir, check on the back door and windows, will you pri I want
- 21:42to have a look at that whole night shut now, question about that.
- 21:57Try a gamble, Lisa, what did you do? Refasten the bow?
- 22:07You won't mind going over to the front door, commissioner. Yeah, yeah,
- 22:18Now I'm gonna switch off. Can you see me? Of course my
- 22:25face? M hm no, what about now? I can see your face?
- 22:37Now? Would you open the doors? It's all right, so I'm
- 22:45just trying something. You see, if missus Calendar had come in and had
- 22:52not been able to see the man's face, he must have been standing quite
- 22:55a distance away from her. But she said that the electric light wouldn't work
- 22:59yes, is right. Well, sir, the light is at least six
- 23:02feet inside the doorway. Now that means she must have walked towards the man,
- 23:06tried the light and still not attempted to run when he came at her.
- 23:10By then she would have seen his face almost as though she knew the
- 23:14maid, possibly, sir, Oh Muppett, do you find anything A back
- 23:18door was open, sir, I'm locked anyway. It's odd any sign of
- 23:22tampering with the lock, now, sir? But where did it leads to
- 23:25the background the garden? Said? Ah, any alleyway leading to the front
- 23:29of the huse, Now, sir, it's walled in all around. Footprints
- 23:32in the garden had quite a future. You can see when he went out
- 23:34at the back wall right, you get cast to them. And then I
- 23:37want the doorknob, dust it for prints and the slight blow here. At
- 23:48the moment, there was nothing to do until we received the results of the
- 23:49footprint and fingerprint tests. Commissioner Harkness and I returned to the yard. We
- 23:55had a bite of supper, and then we waited in my office. At
- 23:56eight o'clock, Mufett brought in the information, all nice and clean, sir,
- 24:00can't tell much by the fingerprints that the shoe casts are pretty good SoRs
- 24:06ten and about five foot eleven, approximately thirteen stone. Those shoes in good
- 24:11condition, probably expensive. Huh. May I have an old wound or a
- 24:15break in his left leg? He right impression is a bit heavier. The
- 24:19man would ever slight limb. It's all right, doctor Reid. I feel
- 24:33much better. You shouldn't see anybody tonight. I learn it. Take a
- 24:37moment or do doctor very well. This is calender. Your husband said that
- 24:42you knew who killed him, but we've all mayes. Let us assume that
- 24:47you do know something which to you is unimportant, but to your husband's killer
- 24:49is a death warrant. Is that why someone tried to kill me this afternoon?
- 24:53We'll assume that is the reason. Now, when you came in the
- 24:56door after shopping, did you see the man's in the hall immediately? No?
- 25:03I don't think so. Not immediately you walked to where the light switch
- 25:07was, yes, I tried to turn it on, and then you saw
- 25:11the man, yes, but not his face. That's right. It was
- 25:14then about a quarter to six, I suppose, so I'm not sure it
- 25:18wasn't totally dark. Outside. No, but it was dark in the hall.
- 25:22There's a window in the hall, isn't Yes, so a trace of
- 25:25light could come through. It was dark. That's all I can tell you.
- 25:30Missus Calendar. Would you object if I took your fingerprints? Why you
- 25:33don't think that? Do mine? Inspector? This is going too far?
- 25:37One or two questions? Perhaps, Missus Calendar is my vision. I can't
- 25:40allow you to. I'm sure that Missus Calender wants to find the murder of
- 25:42her husband. Doctor, I may I have your prince, Missus Calender,
- 25:47Yes, if you must, thank you that nothing. Just relax your end,
- 25:53madam, thank you. An index and thumb will be enough, both
- 25:57hands, brid sir, thank you. I can water ends on this.
- 26:11Here you was it? Thank you? You got the said we took from
- 26:14the light globe. Here's it. Here you are a magnifying glass. Here's
- 26:18it. Huh h? Now, Missus Calendar, would you mind explaining why
- 26:29you unfastened the light globe in the hall? I didn't. Why should I
- 26:33do such a thing, That's what I want to know. Yours are the
- 26:36only prints on it. I inspected. What nonsense? It's intruded worn gloves,
- 26:38you know, perfectly. Well, yes, God, that's quite right,
- 26:41doctor Reed. Do you know why mister Callender died? Of course,
- 26:45it's poison. That's why I called the police. It was asiatic cholera?
- 26:48What not at all? Missus Calendar? Would you know anything about that?
- 26:55No? No, The man we're looking for is five feet eleven, he
- 26:59weighs thirteen stone, and he has a slight limp in the left leg.
- 27:03Just a moment, this is Calender. Didn't I meet your husband's partner,
- 27:08Denning, isn't it? Yes? But they were very good friends. I'm
- 27:12sure No. Cha was an amateur biologist. I remember now he limps too.
- 27:18It couldn't be. I think it could be, Missus Callender. I
- 27:22think we may find that somehow he obtained the cholera germs and gave them to
- 27:26your husband, and that you were both afraid of what the police would find
- 27:29out. So this afternoon, after I'd been to see him, he came
- 27:33over here and you arranged the scene of the attack together. But Inspector,
- 27:36have you seen the wound? How bad is it? Doctor Hurlett? It
- 27:38was quite a heavy blow. How much easier to throw us up the track?
- 27:41Then we can prove that Denning is the man who was here. I
- 27:45think it'll be his prince we found on the back door. Don't move,
- 27:48stay exactly where you are and speak of the devil. Mister Denning. You've
- 27:52saved us a great deal of trouble. I told you not to come over
- 27:57tonight. Chance. See why come on? Put down your gun, Denning,
- 28:03not on earthly all right, puppet that's turned up? Stand Stipe.
- 28:15Or to be sure there's no one behind you, mister Denning, much safer.
- 28:21Well, I think we can all go now. Denning and Missus Calendar
- 28:30were formally charged with murder. At the trial, it was proved that there
- 28:34had been no question of a divorce. That was a story which both Benning
- 28:37and the woman had contrived. The motive was very simple, insurance and what
- 28:44the defendants called love. We never did learn how Denning obtained the color of
- 28:48germs, but a test tube was found in his miniature laboratory. It contained
- 28:53a culture of his lethal weapon. Missus Calendar received a life sentence. Denning
- 28:59was hanged. Pursuit and the pursuit He's Over. Pursuit is produced and directed
- 29:19by Elliott Lewis and written by Anthony Ellis. Music was composed and presented by
- 29:23Eddie Dunstetter. Ben Wright stars as Inspector Peter Black, with Raymond Lawrence's Sergeant
- 29:29Muffett. Feature of Tonight's cast were Sally Cassell, Julian Upton, William Johnstone
- 29:33and John Sherman. If you have to shave once a day, that's bad
- 29:45enough. But when you shaved twice a day, the scrape and pull,
- 29:48scrape and pull, the continuous scrape and pull up a razor over the same
- 29:52place as time and time again makes your face hurt and burn and sting in
- 29:56a way that's plain murder. Murder that is is till you start using Mullay
- 30:00brushless shaving cream. Then you'll discover that shaving even twice a day is a
- 30:04cinch. One reason for this is Mollay's body, a real body that sets
- 30:10your whiskers up in a way no skimpy, watery cream can match and takes
- 30:14the painful scrape and pull right out of shaving. And Molly's abundance of soothing
- 30:18lanolin actually conditions your skin while you shave, leaves your face feeling refreshed and
- 30:25supple without a trace of burn or sting. Try Mollay the cream that means
- 30:30comfort even if you shave twice a day, even if you shave with cold
- 30:33water or hard water. Buy the brushless shaving cream that combines real body with
- 30:40abundant lanolin and takes the scrape and pull right out of shaving. Ask for
- 30:45m O Lee Molay. We invite you to join us next week at this
- 30:52same time, when Pursuit, we'll bring you another dramatic story of the famous
- 30:57inspector Peter Black of Scotland. You relentlessly hunting down those whose disordered passions breed
- 31:03violence and murder. Another story of man hunting man when we bring you Ursuit.
- 31:11Bob Stevenson speaking, this is the CBS Radio Network, Welcome back.
- 31:30Well, the murderers might never have been caught if the dead man hadn't cried
- 31:37poison, though they could have helped their case by not getting too exotic with
- 31:41it. But at any rate, that concludes our look at Pursuit. And
- 31:48there were two more episodes of Pursuit after this one that are missing, Pursuit
- 31:52and the Man fromm I to in Pursuit and the Man with the Gun.
