1:00
we celebrate our eleven hundred and fiftieth episode with an episode called Homicide for Hannah.
1:11
It was from the Molay Mystery Theater, which was one of those great
1:15
detective anthology shows. It ran from nineteen forty three to forty eight and was
1:21
sponsored by Molay Shaving Cream. And I think we'll even end up playing one
1:26
of those episodes over on the War. This is one of the earlier episodes
1:33
in existence. The title is Homicide for Hannah. The original air date was
1:38
December the twenty eighth of nineteen forty three, and I didn't play this episode
1:42
the first time I was planning on doing it because I looked up and I
1:46
saw that Jim Widner, who does the excellent radio detective story Hour, had
1:52
just played it. But now it's been five months since he played it,
1:57
So I feel okay going ahead and Plane, I didn't. We're not repeating
2:00
anything too much for a listener. Uh. This actually was an adaptation of
2:08
a novel into a half hour story. Always a difficult proposition. And the
2:16
uh it was actually from a series of novels by UH Black Mask Magazine author
2:25
White the Babcock, featuring this character of Hanna van Dorn, and this was
2:31
her first documented case in the series. So here now from the Molley Mystery
2:38
Theater is homicide for Hannah just a moment. Have you heard the Molle Mystery

12:11
Kirby. You better talk if you want to get out of it. Well,
12:13
Inspector, I don't know why Worthville came here or who killed him.
12:18
I wasn't in the apartment. Can you give me an alibi for this evening?
12:20
Well? I met Terry if a quarter to six. At six I
12:22
left him to make a phone call. Yeah, who'd you call? I
12:26

12:28
and then I joined Terry at Balone Bar. We've been together ever since.
12:31
That's right, Yes, that's about all for now. If you're not in
12:37
the clay by any means, Kirby, I won't pull you in the head.
12:39
Thanks for noting, Terry, my boy. How about you and me

12:45
a scoop for it? Yeah, yet for better coming with me? Asked,
12:48
No, I want to stay and talk to Joe a few minutes.
12:50
Who were you up too, miss Unlarne? Why nothing, Inspector. I
12:52
just want to have a private interview with mister Kirby, so when you solve
12:56
the case, i'll have all the background. I need to ash your fire
12:58
magazine, I see. I want to get it now before mister Kirby has
13:01
to start combing reporters out of his hair. And I wouldn't worry about that.
13:05
I'll leave Madden outside the door, just so Kirby won't be bothered,
13:09
of course, and of course that's nice of your inspected. Now get out
13:11

16:08
I'll have some tips for you. Hey, Joe, let me in up
16:11
the stairs. Thank by the paddock in a few minutes. I've got hot
16:15
tip in the murder. Yeah, what it seems old. Jake Wurtzel had
16:17
another name once back in Chicago, and nuts shit, I'm single. Well
16:21
i'll see it. Well, well, beauty and the beast greeting's respected.
16:26
Go away. Angle. You give me indigestion first, you steal my girl,
16:29
and you want to drive me away? Did you hear the newest guess
16:32
about your murder? What is it? Some bright cop got the idea that
16:34
Steve was killed by spies. This old man, Jake Wurtzel just embedded a
16:38
chemical, the neutralizing chlorine gas. This guy thinks they tried to get the
16:42
secret out of Steve and kill him when they failed. I think it's nuts
16:45
and so the why, Well, I'm glad somebody doesn't think I'm the murderer.
16:49
Well, come on, let's get away from here. Hannah, the
16:52
airs bad. You know I'm covering the murder. Now. You wouldn't care
16:55
to give me a statement? Would you missed the cunning? Yes? Stay
16:57
away from me. Unquote thy conna. Would you do me a favor?
17:02
Wait, do a minute. I have to go to the paddic see a
17:03
man about a horse. I want to go along. You're going to meet
17:06
carry and it has something to do with the murder. I heard him that
17:08
stage woods for Terry Miles. Okay, come on, where's your secret meeting
17:12
place, mister conspirator? Around the corner here and then those backstairs right over
17:18
here. But no day say look he's on the floor. He's hurd Say
17:25
Terry, Terry, Harry, what's the matter? Terry he's non answer,
17:32
Joe, can't you see the knife in his throat? He's dead? Yeah?
17:34
I see what about you? Joe? It's a cop. Find you
17:37
here with another murder? There? What do you mean if there comes one?
17:40
Right now? Let me do the talking, Joe, not me.
17:41
I'm getting out of here. There's something I've got to find out. I'll
17:44
see you later. Stop a good luck, Good luck Joe. Well,
18:07
mystery fans, there's nothing like a few pistol shots to start some action.
18:11
And plenty of action is just what we're headed for when our money mystery theater
18:15
play resumes. You know, mister Barnes, what you just said is exactly
18:19
Joe Moran's idea. Yes, Dan, how is that? Well, my
18:22
old friend Joe is a real Molay fan who wants every man to enjoy the
18:26
better shaves it gives. And he says that one good way for me to
18:30
remind folks of how good Molay is and to stir them into action is by
18:33
firing a pistol shot or so so. And what are you going to do
18:38
about it, Dan, Well, just this, gentlemen. Of course,
18:41
you realize that the little nix and scrapes you got while shaving today will make
18:47
tomorrow shave all the more difficult. Well, why don't you buy Molay,
18:51
the brustless shaving cream that puts space protection first. Olay has a special protective
18:56
film, a film with more real body and substance than like fluffy cream.
19:00
That film acts in a positive way to guard you are tender skin from irritating
19:04
Nixon scrape. Also, Molay contains with abundance of beard softening ingredients and plenty
19:11
of bland, non irritating oils. So gentlemen to enjoy shaves to get better
19:17
and better. As Molay's protective film guards your face from Nixon scrapes, why
19:21
don't you, Joe, Yes, that's right, chewed around to the store
19:25
and fire a cuber jar of mll E. Molay Brushless shaving creane. Well,
19:33
I'm out of ammunition and my story is told, So now here's mister
19:37
Joe Kirby to bring you act too of homicide for hammer. Well, after
19:41
Hannah and I found Kerry's body at the racetrack, the cop tried to stop
19:45
me, but I got away and grant the cab into town. Terry had
19:48
mentioned a clue and said he wanted to tell me more, just before he
19:52
was killed. Maybe he had told his wife something about what he learned.
19:56
It wasn't much go on, but it was my only chance. So I
20:00
went to see Ida O'Connor at their home or law. They told you,
20:07
why did you know about Terry? Yes, the paper, telephone, He's
20:14
gone, Joe, Terry's gone. You know they're saying I did it.
20:18
Yes, I know, but I don't believe it. But you were his
20:22
friend. Thanks. You got to buck up for the kids. Sink.
20:26
We can't bring Terry back, but I want to do something about it,
20:30
and maybe you can help. When Terry was home last night, did he
20:33
say anything about what he was working on about what happened at my place last
20:37
night? Well? Yes, Well he was all excited. He said he
20:42
had a chance to clear you completely in and it would meet a big bonus
20:47
for him and maybe a raise. Where had he been either, Well,
20:49
he'd been at the office going through some old newspapers. He showed me one
20:53
of the clipping. But clipping you remember what it was about. It was
20:56
about a murder trial in Chicago back in nineteen twenty five. I think a
21:03
man named Wilson had killed another man had been acquitted. There are pictures of
21:07
a man. I didn't read it except for the headline. It's not very
21:11
definite, but I'll try to run it down. You keep your chin up
21:15
at it. I'll get Terry's murderer if it's the last thing I do.
21:33
Come in, Hello, Hannah. Oh, I start to do something dumb
21:37
like coming back your own apartment where the police can find you easily. Well,
21:41
I can't get away from them forever. I might as well be comfortable.
21:44
Want to wait? Did you come straight here from the track? No?
21:45
I was downtown reading some old newspapers. Would I don't suppose you thought
21:49
of reading the last edition of today's paper while you were there? No?
21:52
Why? Nothing excepted while you were running around making sure you have no alibis.
21:56
Steve's father, old Jacob Littel, was killed Martin. Yes, hey,
22:00
it's getting to be an epidemic. Well, heap, drink and be
22:03
merry. How about a highball? Hannah? No, I want to talk.
22:07
Please be serious. Yes, I'll be that's the cops. Now come
22:12
in. Hello, jo Joe. If he nothold you he'd be here.
22:17
Milton tried to argue me out of coming. He said, you wouldn't be
22:19
here when I thought, was the police after him? Or you did?
22:22
Did you with it down? Veronica? Thanks, We're gonna have white little
22:23
gathering here. I'm expecting the police any minute, and we'll try out a
22:27
little idea. I've got what sort of idea? Yes? What is it?
22:30
Relax, Hannah, I'm just beginning to get smart. Now we wait
22:33
for the police. You're here, the boy detect it, and I think
22:37
I hear the ponderous tread of the law coming this way right now, And
22:41
I thought you'd be here, Kirby. When I saw the visitors go in,
22:44
I was especially glad to see miss Veronica Smith or I am why,
22:48
I have a witness who places your car here last night? So I have
22:51
a warrant charging you and Kirby with murdered. No, wait a minute,
22:55
not so fast. You can't do that. No, I can't. Well,
22:57
who's gonna stop me? But wait a minute, I know who committed
23:00
all three murders. Better be with Kirby. What's your story? Well,
23:06
originally the murderer had only intended to kill Steve Wurtzel and his father. Terry
23:10
O'Connor was killed because he had a lead to the murderer, Kerry, where
23:12
would he get a lead? I found out Terry had been looking up an
23:15
old murder in Chicago in nineteen twenty five. That murderer was a man named
23:18
Wilson, and he was acquitted. Interesting, but what does it have to
23:22
do with this? There were pictures in the paper. Wilson was Jake Wurtzel,
23:26
Steve's father, and Jake Wurtzel killed somebody. Well, Wurtzel or Wilson
23:30
was a cosmetics manufacturer. Then he put an eyelash dye on the market that
23:33
contained poison and several people were blind. He had a good lawyer, though
23:37
he wasn't prosecuted. Well, where there's a killing, come in, and
23:40
how there's a time with this time coming to that. The husband of one
23:42
of the blinded women, a fellow named Katy, tried to kill Jake Wurtzel,
23:45
but Wurtzel killed him first. So Wurtzel changed his name and came out
23:48
to Hollywood. Right. Well, that blind woman and the man who was
23:52
killed had a son. Oh, I'm beginning to get the idea right.
23:56
I'm betting that son grew up with one idea to make the work, so's
24:00
pay for his mother's suffering. And his father's dead. And who do you
24:03
think this son is? Kirby. You moved here from Chicago, didn't you,
24:06
Milt Romer, Yes, and your father is dead and your mother is
24:07
blind. The name of his family was Katie, but it could have been
24:11
changed later, just as Wurzels want. That's absurd. And Milt was here
24:15
last night with Ronigan. She may have lied to protect him, but that's
24:18
the only way she's implicating. I did lie. I lost my hand chip
24:22
and Milt went back up after it. He told me that he tried Joe's
24:25
door in it opened and he saw someone in there, dead on the floor.
24:27
But I don't think he did it. Of course I didn't. Maybe
24:30
you've made a case after old Kirby. Well, Robinson, you're making a
24:33
terrible mistake. I haven't killed anyone. My name wasn't Katy. You can
24:37
find my birth certificate on trial in Chicago. My father died in April death.
24:41
My weather was blinded in an auto accident. You can check all those
24:44
things. That's true. I'm sorry, it seemed right. I ought to
24:48
let you stew in your own juice Joe for holding out on me, But
24:49
I know who the Katie boy, is you do? Who is it,
24:52
miss Vandora? I'm almost sure it's George Engels. What a news favorite report.
24:56
I know it's from Chicago. His father is dead and so his mother,
25:00
but she was blind. He told me about it and seemed very bitter
25:02
he did over here, Terry telling me that he had a clue he could
25:06
have reached the paddot just to hit him. I'm sure it's George Engele,
25:07
he sits all the way around. Wait a minute, though, he couldn't
25:11
kill Steve Wurtzel. He was with you, allie. No, he wasn't.
25:14
There wasn't any reason to mention it before. But he left me at
25:15
the bar for almost a half hour between five and five thirty, the time
25:18
when Steve was killed, just about when Terry and I left his office.
25:22
You sure about those things, mister Undorhm positive inspectors. Joe's giving you the
25:26
motive, and Angle's the only one who fits it, and a better act
25:29
fast too. He succeeded in killing both words, though, so he'll probably
25:32
try to leave town now. You're right, I'll get a dragon that out
25:33
immediately. Well, I'm sorry about almost pulling you in, Kirby, Come
25:37
along with Veronica, we'd better go to Yes, Milton. I'm really very
25:41
sorry Milton forgetting Kirby. Well, goodbye all of you. Goodbye. You
25:45
drop in again when I have another murder. Well, Hannah, that's what
25:59
I call a beautiful team work. And we collect the five thousand dollars reward
26:03
that the newspaper put up for information leading to the arrest of Terry's murderer.
26:06
Today. I'd forgotten about the reward twenty five hundred each. I don't want
26:10
mine, though. I want to turn over to Idle O'Connor, Terry's widow.
26:12
Okay, I guess I can be as generous as you. I'll turn
26:17
my share over to her too. Well. Happy days, Pardoner. We'll
26:19
die broke but happy. You're a sweetheart. Oh wait, I makes a
26:22
couple of drinks. We'll have a toast of that. Don't rush off,
26:26
Kirby. Yeah, the little Georgie of pal with a gun. You'll notice
26:30
the dumb move. I was out in the kitchen, heard the whole thing.
26:34
I hid until the cops left. I waited to kill you, Kirby
26:38
too late, George. They know everything. Yeah, I know, I
26:41
know. I just don't like Kirby. Cutting in when you were my girl
26:45
for generally acting smart. Besides, one more killing won't hurt my record.
26:48
This one's all for you and your story. Hit A homicide for Hannah,
26:52
your rat. You didn't have to kill Terry anymore, and you have to
26:56
kill me. But you like to kill, don't you? You're killed crazy?
26:59
Well, I'm going to take that gun. Wait, sad back,
27:00
Trevy s free chats. That's jiu jitsu again. He's knocked out. Call
27:10
it a chucup. Well, my father always told me to come in handy,
27:12
better call the police back. I will shu huh. Who'd think a
27:18
beautiful babe like you could toss a big man clear across the room? You
27:21
save my life. I'm gonna kiss you right, Maybe I better not?
27:26
Oh brother? Am I gonna have fun married to a female wrestler. Ladies
27:42
and gentlemen, you have just heard the Moray Mystery Theater presentation homicide for Hannah
27:48
and a very exciting, eventful case at once. Now we continue with still
27:53
another dase, one that I'm sure the men in our audience will find eventful
27:59
and help. All right, then, oh friends, this is the story
28:03
in words and music of Wilbur Wilbur used to be the sort of guy who
28:07
woke up in the morning with a grouch. When his wife spoke to him,
28:11
Wilbur would answer something like this, yes, very grumpily, because he
28:18
was almost positive he was in for an unpleasant time with his morning shade.
28:22
And as Wilbur shaved, as he nickedon scraped his face, his spirits got
28:26
lower and lower. Well. Finally, Wilbur listened to the Molay Mystery theater
28:36
one night. He learned how Molay puts face protection first. He heard about
28:41
Molay's Special Protective Film, a film that helps guard against Nixon scrapes because it
28:45
has plenty of real body and substance, much more than light fluffy cream.
28:51
So Wilbur bought the jar of Molay, and now he greets his wife every
28:56
morning something like this. He feels wealth and be discovered for himself. That
29:03
is Smolet's Special Protective Film helps guard your faith. Day after day, your
29:07
shaves get better, better and better. So, gentlemen, why don't you
29:15
buy m O L L. E Bullet, the brushless shaving cream that puts
29:22
face protection first. But now here's Jeffrey Barnes. I'll tell you about next
29:27
week's story Mystery Friends, We were unable to introduce our new detective Jonathan Pierce
29:33
tonight has previously announced, but he will definitely be with us next week in
29:40
an exciting story about beautiful girls and teets and murder entitled The Mystery of the
29:48
Seven Keys. So be sure to listen in to Jonathan Pierce in the Mystery
29:55

30:11

30:15
Until next Tuesday. This is dan Seymour saying good night and good shaving
30:22
or Molay brushless shaving trink Do me a favor, Folks. Don't you look
30:33
at the sleeve crop of your dress or suit. Chances are if it isn't
30:36
brand new or right back from the cleaners, it's a bit dirty. And
30:40
if you had two heads, you could turn one around and you see that
30:42
the neck band have said soudor dress the soil too. But that's no reason
30:47
to send the whole garment to the cleaners. Simply buy a bottle of energy
30:51
and cleaning fluid and take out the dirt and the grease yourself. Energy works
30:56
quickly and easily on grease days. Energy is economical and a mighty handy item
31:00
to keep in the house. They're all tough and stubborn peaning jobs, so
31:04
tomorrow, get a bundle of energy. This is the National Broadcasting Company.
