3:34
find Linax self Polishing Wax at your nearest hardware, paint or department store.
3:45
And now for today's exciting case from the life of Nick Carter. As we
3:50
look in on the old brownstone mansion at the corner of Fourth and Fifth,
3:53
Nick is clearing up the files on his desk as Patsy answers the door.
3:58
See convicted of arson fifteen years Mister Carter, my name is J. T.
4:08
Reid, but I don't suppose that means anything to you, not unless
4:12
you're the JT. Read about the original letters of John Keats, the poet
4:15
at the Gibson Auction Galleries on March fifteenth, nineteen twenty. Why that's amazing,
4:21
absolutely right even to the day of the month. How in the world
4:25
did you know that, mister Carter. Oh, I've always been interested in
4:28
literary memorabilia, and an important say like that stuck in my mind. That's
4:30
all I see. Well, as you may somemise, I have quite a
4:34
collection of brad books and manuscripts. Now, last week a mister Rodney Stone
4:40
called it my country home. He was a fully accredited representative of Blatchpoughton Blake,
4:44
the English firm of rare book dealer correct and as their American representative,
4:47
he offered to sell me a copy of the Gutenberg Bible. But as all
4:51
my capital is invested in books, I told mister Stone that at present I
4:56
was more interested in selling some books than in buying, and he offered to
4:59
sell some for you. Yes, his credentials were so good. I gave
5:01
him my first polio Shakespeare and a few other items. He signed a receipt
5:06
for them and took them to his hotel here in town. Well, mister
5:10
Reed, you wouldn't be here unless something had gone wrong. What is it?
5:13
Well, just to make sure, I checked Stowe's hotel and he was
5:17
registered there. But then I sent a cable to his London office to confirm
5:20
the details. And this, mister Carter, is the answer I just received.
5:28
We have no American representative named rodney Stone. His potential is obviously for
5:33
suggest to contact Nick Carter immediately to investigate this bra That's I took their advice,
5:42
mister Carter, and came here at once. Yes, I've handled two
5:44
or three cases for them. Have you been a Stone's hotel? Well,
5:47
I thought i'd better see you first iphoned. However he's still registered there.
5:51
Well, it's probably a fairly amateury swindle case, but I don't like to
5:55
disappoint people of cable a recommendation three thousand miles. Then you'll go with me
5:59
to see Stone. Yes, and there's another reason too, mister Reid.
6:01
I've always had a soft spot for Shakespeare. Come on, let's go rescue
6:05
old Master Will from the clutches of a rather clumsy com man. You say
6:20
it was the first complete edition of Shakespeare's plays, mister reed, Why it
6:25
must be three hundred years old three hundred and twenty two to be exact.
6:29
Passy folios were friended in sixteen hundred twenty three, and my copy is of
6:32
special interest. The fly leaf is signed by Ben Johnson, Shakespeare's friend and
6:36
fellow poet Johnston copy. Well, yes, ooh, is a legend about
6:42
that copy? Very foolish, I suppose, Yes, I know the legend.
6:46
Well, what is it? Nick? Three times in three centuries that
6:48
copy has been stolen and each time the thief has been found later with his
6:53
head cut off. Oh slightly grizzly. What the legend is that Shakespeare's ghost
6:59
comes back and slay is the thief for meddling with his friend Johnson's copy?
7:01
And that's the copy that this man's stone has stolen. Yes, and if
7:06
this legend is true, then he his head. No nonsense, just a
7:11
silly story, Bessie. Yes, well, if you think it's a silly
7:15
story, why have you stepped on the gas? Still no answer? I'll
7:30
try it. Never mind, I'll open the door, but how I always
7:33
carry skeleton keys. Let's going great, heavens inside quickly. That man on
7:47
the floor his head, just like the legend. I suppose that's Rodney stone,
7:51
mister read it was, Oh poor child. We'll just look at this
7:55
room. They must have been a terrific struggle, yes, all over,
8:00
clothes almost ripped from the body, whatever battle he must have put up to
8:03
save himself. One thing certain, our simple case of fraud has certainly become
8:07
a lot more serious. The bedroom doors open, I'll go in and see
8:11
whether there are you going to examine the body in a moment, Bessy.
8:13
First I want to get a novel over picture of the room from here and
8:18
tell a lot just under standing in one spotting kind of a perspective on the
8:22
crime listence, position of the body, location of the bloodstains, my way,
8:28
the clothes are ripped, yes, which is just the ghost of Shakespeare
8:35
is struck again, mister Cotton, mister Copper, come in here quick,
8:37
right when you look what I found on the window. Still here, mister
8:39
Catton, don't touch it. See sord the blood stains sword, yes,
8:45
sixteenth century claymore, sixteenth century sword, the thief's head cut off. Quite
8:50
all fits well, mister Carter. What do you think of the legend of
8:54
Shakespeare's ghost? Now find any clues? Nick, No, bring me a
9:09
pillowcase from that bed. I want to wrap up this sort, Yes,
9:13
Nick, how do you explain, mister Carter? I don't get this is
9:16
the twenty third floor. The door was locked from the inside. There's no
9:20
fire escape a balcony outside these windows. Thanks that said, it's a good
9:28
thing we're all intelligent adults, because it certainly looks like the work of a
9:31
ghost. That's one of the things that bothers me, Mister Reid, looks
9:35
too much like ghosts. If I'll go back and give the body a closer
9:39
examination for what is it? Dick? What's wrong with the body? It's
9:45
disappeared, vanished? Hand me that microscope slide here you are, Nick,
10:03
Why didn't you investigate the other rooms on the twenty third floor of that hotel
10:05
when we found no one had been seen leaving the floor since we came up.
10:09
You can't search people's rooms without their permission or a warrant. Besides,
10:13
there's more than one way to skin a cat and catch a murderer. Right
10:16
now, I just want to check the blood cell structure from the stains and
10:20
the sword. How can you tell whether it was Stone's blood? Can't?
10:22
But I can be sure it's human blood. Evidence can be framed, you
10:26
know, Uh huh? How about it? Yeah? Human blood already been
10:31
on that sort about seven hours, which means about six hours before we found
10:35
it. What does that prove? Good? Prove or disprove A great deal?
10:39
That's gonna still punch it? Sure, I just want to take a
10:43
small chip off this sort of obviously hand for it, and I'll smell down
10:52
this little piece over a high heat flame. Here's a crucible. Thanks,
10:56
No, Cassie. While you're waiting for that steal chip to melt, we
11:01
should look up j. T reading our file. All right, Nick,
11:03
are you sure we've got them? You gotta be there. Here's his card.
11:09
Joseph t Read chief interest books and manuscripts and curios and mm hmmm,
11:16
quite a patriotic citizen too, did a lot of volunteer warwork. Very interesting.
11:20
Let me see that. Oh there's a signal on the heat cage,
11:24
Nick steels melted. First. I just have this catalyst, just as I
11:37
thought it was the sort of modern fake. On the contrary, Patsy,
11:41
the chemicals used in this manufacture prove almost conclusively that it's authentic, Elizabethan.
11:46
Now let me see he reads filecard. Here you are, Nick, Why
11:50
were you so anxious to prove the sort as genuine? That shows someone that's
11:54
time to throw a suspicion, Great Scott, What is it? Nick?
11:58
What do you see on the betty? Send a wire to JT Reid?
12:01
Can I'm a coming out to report him tonight? That's more like it.
12:05
A little action read can tell us if we need to know, we may
12:07
crack this case tonight. Tell me what you please, I can tell you
12:11
two things, Betty. First, there was more than one criminal involved.
12:15
There was, And second, they're among the most cunning and cold blooded men
12:18
I've ever met. You haven't met them yet. Oh we made a knight
12:20
and am I cold automatic? Then we're on our way. Well, a
12:33
swindler murdered like other men before him who stole the same rare book. The
12:37
legend of Shakespeare's ghost brought to life as a genuine Elizabethans sword is found in
12:43
the room. Then the body disappears. Where will this mysterious trail of bloodshed
12:48
and theft lead neck? We'll see you in just a moment. What happened
12:52
last time you waxed your floor? Did how they grumble because the floors were
12:56
slippery? Did the youngsters use that fresh new wax job for a skating rink?
13:01
Not? If you use linax self polishing wax for linax, self polishing
13:05
wax cuts down the slipperiness of your floors and at the same time gives that
13:09
satiny beauty only real wax can give. Yes, it's true. The Underwriter's
13:15
laboratories have proved by test that hardwood, linoleum, and rubber tile all are
13:20
less slippery after Linax self polishing wax has been applied. Yet your floors and
13:26
linoleum will look more beautiful than ever before when you use Linax self polishing wax,
13:31
and you'll find it easier to keep them clean too. For Linax self
13:35
polishing wax gives a finish that lasts longer, so that you just whisk a
13:39
damp cloth over the surface to keep them spick and span. What's more,
13:43
Linax self polishing wax whites on in a jiffy and dries quickly without tiresome rubbing.
13:50
So in every way it's the wise choice for wise homemakers. Yet Linax
13:54
self polishing wax Now it's the modern anti skid floor finish. All the great
14:00
Linox home brighteners for new home beauty the whole year round. And now back
14:13
to our story. Nick and Patsy are investigating a strange murder, a vanishing
14:18
corpse, and the disappearance of a coffee of a first folio Shakespeare. The
14:22
entire crime seems to be linked to a legend about Shakespeare's ghosts. They are
14:28
now in a small suburban railway station waiting for their client J. T.
14:31
Reid. Nick, what do you suppose is keeping mister Reed, Oh,
14:37
station master, Yeah, are you sure mister Reid got the wire we sent
14:39
this afternoon? I'm sure it's here before the telegraph office too. That's your
14:45
wife, Shane. You were arriving on the Severn twelve and changed it right
14:48
up to mister Reed. Can imagine why isn't here almost seven point Well?
14:54
Anyway, Nick, we had a cozy place to wait during the shower.
14:56
It was short, but awfully wet. I'm not interesting. Wait they get
15:00
to work cozily. I want to look it going. Well, if he's
15:03
supposed to be here, he will be new faine men, mister Reed,
15:07
I'm restreted wits and bon drives. He even shaved it a volunteer after the
15:13
country hospital. Here's the car now is this read me? Let's go then,
15:18
Thanks for your hospitality, station Master. You were comfort for mister Carter.
15:22
I'm jud today. Sorry I'm latey Oh that's all right, mister Reid.
15:24
Well I surprise you. No, No, it wasn't that I had
15:28
trouble starting my car. Couldn't even get it out of the garage till ten
15:31
minutes ago. Oh no, right this way, No, and my butler
15:35
Evers insisted on hubbing me. Every time I thought the motor was ready to
15:39
run, he'd reaching under the hood to adjust something, and bang it would
15:43
stall again. Well, let's hope it wants to stall on the way back.
15:46
I'm rather anxious to see your place and your butler. Mister Carter.
16:02
I do hope you can get my beautiful books back for me. I'll do
16:04
my best, mister Reid. Oh, by the way, where they am?
16:07
Sure? Yes, yes, thank Heaven. But I want my books
16:10
back, mister Carter. Shouldn't we notify the police now, mister Raid,
16:15
you can't make a murder chart stick without a corpse. But I saw it.
16:18
I could testify that no corpse, no case. Oh well, just
16:23
around the next turn and we're home. Huh, there it is. Oh
16:30
what a lovely place, isn't it, Nick, Yes, indeed charming place.
16:34
A whole scene is so nice. Snow curling from the chimney, that's
16:38
fun. What is miss Bowen? Snow curling from the chimney on a warm
16:42
summer night. Oh that's the hot water heater. Really awful lot of smoke
16:48
for one of those things. Isn't it New Years? Yes, it's a
16:51
nuisance. We have to bring this off cold. Oh we can get right
16:53
now. Who turns the boiler? Mister Reid? Why Evans the butler,
16:57
even though he consists of a little beneath his dignity day, why do you
17:00
watch? I do no particular reason, just curious. I'll leave the car
17:06
here in case we wanted later. Let me help your patty. Thanks.
17:14
Good evening, Oh, good evenings, come on in both of you.
17:18
Thank him. Evans. This is miss Bone and mister Carter. They will
17:22
be staying the night. Very good, so mister Carter dedictive me, I
17:26
asked, yes, fine, nothing's nothing at all. Would you care to
17:30
wash up either of you? Oh? No, thanks, I freshened up
17:33
on the train. I'd like to wash please, I'll take you upstairs.
17:37
Thank you. Meanwhile, Evans, will you show us Bone into the library?
17:41
The library is, yes, the library. Perhaps Ms Bourne would like
17:45
to see the garden. The holly hawks are quite lovely now, and there's
17:48
even enough. I'll look at the garden in the morning, if I may
17:51
certainly show us Bone to the library. Evans, Yes, he will,
17:56
sir, libor sweetly. Oh well again, what a collection of books?
18:15
First edition Paradise lost the original part, Oh, Evans you surprised me.
18:25
I didn't hear you come in spoke you might like some tea, Thank you,
18:30
and Evans, could we have a little more light in here? You've
18:33
only this one lamp on the whole other half of the room is dark.
18:37
Makes it gloomy. I don't think it's gloomy, miss I do, and
18:42
we have a little more light. Please look at that other wall. It's
18:51
covered with armor, swords and things very interesting. If you need anything,
19:00
will be ring. Thank you. Mm hmmm, let's see. I think
19:07
I'll take a look suit of armor, time of Henry the Second well and
19:15
good fourteenth century crossboats. Qui o nake, it's you? I thought,
19:21
well, never mind, we've got work to do. But Nick, look
19:23
look here at the collection of armor and swords. So I see a good
19:29
collection of British battle swords too. Look here next to this, yes,
19:33
one sword missing and the label says it was a sixteenth century Playmore true.
19:37
Good for you. We've got work to do. Where are we going out
19:42
through the French windows into the garden to see the hollyhocks and other things?
19:48
Come on, it's a hollyhod some beautiful Nick, But what do we want
20:02
with flowers at a time like this. You'll see in a minute. You
20:04
know, Nick, I just realized why he was so excited when you saw
20:07
mister Reid's file cad. You knew that curios meant swords and armor, didn't
20:11
you? Oh? I knew there was some reason why that butler was so
20:15
anxious to keep me out of the library. You didn't want us to notice
20:18
that that sword was missing. Maybe so we ought an Adam Kristin. He'll
20:22
make a getaway. Not just yet, wore I found what I came out
20:27
for. Her door, the door to the house. But why come out
20:32
here to find a door going back into the house, Unless I'm much mistaken.
20:36
This is the door to the cellar. Oh, the seller locked of
20:41
course, Oh curious key, I picklock was made for just such unusual locks.
20:48
Let's see it. Well, do we want the cellar? That's when
20:52
we arrived. You noticed smoke pouring from the chimney. Reid said it was
20:56
the hot water heater. Yes, well, I made a point of going
21:00
up to wash my hands the water and the hot carset was only lukewarm.
21:03
With all the smoke we saw that water should have been boiling hot. See
21:07
that means that it's not the hot water boiler that's burning. Something else is
21:11
burning in the cellar or being burned there. I thought that would do it.
21:18
Now, Where did I turn on my flesh light? All right down
21:26
those steps, easy, nice. It's hot down here, and a big
21:37
fire going in that furnace. I didn't see it's still going over there.
21:41
That smell. It's like, you're right, that's just what it is.
21:48
Take the slice bar and open the front of door, just as I thought.
21:56
Look with the toe of the shoe lift, yes, questionably one of
22:00
the shoes we saw on the botting of Rodney Stone. Shut the door.
22:03
Please. It all fits together. That butler probably overheard everything about Stone and
22:11
the first folio of Shakespeare, then stole the sword, then followed Stone to
22:15
the hotel and killed him. And Nick remembered when Reid came to the station,
22:18
he said he was delayed because Evans kept stalling the car. And Evans
22:22
has charge of this seller, and he thought he'd have time to burn the
22:26
body. But our wire surprised him. He kept delaying reads so we wouldn't
22:30
get here too soon. Certainly things together well, Evans just keeping the home
22:48
fires burning. Wrapped that poker Evans said, all right, blooded fiendus sevens.
23:00
How are you going to tell us where you've hitting those books? No,
23:03
where you are. I've got a gun, so have I. I've
23:06
got the drop on your carter, victor of your pistols. Very well,
23:14
now take it over here. Good. I congratulate your carter. You're cleverer
23:25
than I thought. But from now on things will go my way. And
23:29
what way is that? All time? Is boone over to my associates,
23:33
whom you haven't met. They'll take excellent care of her. Then tomorrow you
23:37
and I will visit the police and the insurance company. And if you don't
23:41
testify, as I wish this bowing were you see, I don't want the
23:48
books back. I want the insurance. It's a great deal more than the
23:52
present market value of those books. And you're too clever. You really might
23:59
find you're John rdy would Nick Cardigan? Fine? Look home over behind you,
24:03
shut over, bearded men. Shakespeare's cool right now, mister Reid,
24:10
I have the drop on you well. And so boys are always fooled by
24:14
the simplest tricks. Barnes's door always open, and by manipulating my fingers behind
24:18
my back. I cast a shadow of a bearded man and that wall behind
24:19
you. Thank you, Nick, I wouldn't have liked to meet Shakespeare's ghost.
24:26
I think I'm much more attractive with my head on no read. I'm
24:32
sure you won't be too reluctant about naming your accomplice because you won't want to
24:34
go to jail for both of you. Then we'll turn over to the police
24:37
two of the most cold blooded thieves I've ever met. Thieves you mean,
24:41
murderers. U guilty of that. They couldn't have murdered rodding Stone because Rodney
24:45
Stone never lived. In just a moment, Nick will be back to give
24:56
you the final details of today's adventure and tell tell you how he followed the
25:00
mysterious trail of Shakespeare's ghost. Fingerprints and dust's mudges can spoil the appearance of
25:07
the finest furniture's every housewife knows. Help your fine furniture to look its best.
25:11
Always with LINEX cream polish, the polish which dries hard with no oily
25:17
surface film to attract those ugly smudges and finger marks. You'll find LINEX cream
25:22
polish all the great LINEX home brighteners at Hardware Paint and department stores everywhere.
25:29
And remember that your dealer is headquarters also for Kemtne, the miracle wall finish
25:33
that has brought sparkling new beauty to twenty million rooms in American homes. Kemtne
25:40
covers in one coat, dries in one hour. And now let's hear from
25:49
Nick Carter himself. You see patcha that ever was such a man as Rodney
25:53
Stone. There's on a scheme that read in his accomplice cooked up to collect
25:57
the insurance in those books. You see. Reed's file card told me he'd
26:02
been a volunteer worker at the country hospital. That's what excited me, because
26:06
that meant he had access to the hospital, Morgue and the blood bank.
26:08
You mean they they stole a corpse, right, some poor nameless pauper probably,
26:14
and they also took a couple of pints of blood from the blood bank.
26:17
His accomplice took the body and the blood to the hotel in a trunk,
26:19
hired two suites and set the scene we saw in one of them.
26:23
Meanwhile, Reid had sent his cable to London, knowing full answer, full
26:27
well the answer he'd get. Why did he want you in on it?
26:30
He needed a reputable witness to the murder and the theft. Then, as
26:33
soon as I had seen it, they had to get rid of the body
26:34
at once to avoid a checkup. Oh, but how did the body disappear?
26:38
The accomplice was hiding in the closet when Reid called us into the bedroom
26:42
to see the sword he'd planted there. His pals slipped out and took the
26:45
body into the suite next door. Oh. He put it in a trunk
26:48
and as soon as we left, brought it back to Reed's house so Reid
26:52
could burn it up. I thought Evans was the guilty one, now,
26:55
Patsey, I was convinced Reid was lying. When he met us at the
26:56
station, he said he'd started only ten minutes before, yet his car was
27:00
wet. I remember the sudden summer shower, right, The rain had stopped
27:04
fifteen minutes before, which meant that Reid himself that he laid along the road
27:08
in the shower so that cremation would be over before we got back to the
27:12
house. Yeah, but Nick, when we were in the cellar, it
27:15
was Evans who came down to see if the body were consumed. Patsy,
27:18
Evans told me that he knew nothing of this swindle, readed Plane until he
27:21
accidentally found him putting the body in the furnace. Then, having been with
27:25
Reed's family for years, he loyally did what he could to help him out.
27:29
Oh, Nick, why didn't you try to trace the body when it
27:33
disappeared? Because I had a strong hunt that there was something funny about the
27:37
murder, and I felt sure I could catch the crooks another way. Look
27:40
after real to me, with all that blood around, that was one reason
27:44
why I suspected as genuineous. If the man had been killed, as we
27:47
were led to believe he had, he would have dropped on the spot and
27:49
there had been no blood in the far corners of the room. Oh,
27:52
Patty, there was too much blood in too many places. Why of course.
27:56
What's more, the body was too dramatically arranged, murdered people usual sprawl
28:00
and almost ludicrous and unbelievable positions. But the clincher, Patsy, was the
28:03
corpse's elbow. Nick, what could you tell from an elbow? Let's see
28:10
you recalled that the blood analysis showed the blood was at least six hours old.
28:12
Uh huh, Well, when a body lies as long as six hours
28:15
in one position, Immediately after death, gravity causes the blood to settle into
28:19
the parts of the body touching whatever's resting upon. As a result, the
28:23
skin becomes purplish. At that point. Well, the corpse's bare elbow was
28:27
touching the floor, yet there was no sign of any purple color, which
28:30
meant something was not as it should be. Well, well, work for
28:36
Nick Carter and learn why you were. And I always say, and so
28:38
do I. What's next week's adventure going to be? Nick? Well can
28:41
next week? I have a rather unusual story for you. A man came
28:45
to my office and told me he'd just killed a man. That's at I
28:48
suppose he came to give himself up. Oh no, he came to ask
28:51
Nick to find the body of the man he just killed. Oh we found
28:53
it, all right, And it took a black mirror and a pinch bar
28:56
to find to kill him. Well, I thought you said he confessed he
28:59
did, And that's what makes the story. I give a What do you
29:03
call the story? I call it the Case of the Wandering Corpse. Nick

This is the Mutual Broadcasting system. Welcome back. Yes, Nick Carter
30:41
saved the day with a shadow poppet. I love that sort of Indian Actually,
30:51
it was pretty engaged in the story throughout. I mean they do seem
30:56
to begin these pretty strong, even if you're dealing with the same red herrings
31:02
planted by the villain, the idea of a Shakespeare folio, a ghost and
31:07
a sixteenth century sword. Yeah, that'll definitely grab the audience's attention, so
31:15
good job on that part. By the way, all the episodes that we
31:22
missed included the Case of the Worried Mom, The Case of the Weeping Clown,
31:29
Ambassador of Death, The Case of the Golden Sea, The Return of
31:33
Lucretia Borgia, The Case of the Insane House, The Case of the Whispering
31:40
Venus, The Sweet Finger of Death and Uncle Sam's Nephew, The Vanishing Diamonds,
31:49
The House that Walked Away, and the Case of the Educated Corpse.
31:55
And I slightly miscounted. We actually missed a total of twelve episodes, so
32:01
wow. I hope some of those turn up. Now it's time for listener
32:07
comments and feedback. And Mike says regarding episode thirteen thirty two, Case of
