Keep your eyes on the screen, gentlemen. This is a marvelous action shot
0:08
of that run for a touchdown here it comes. Turn on the right,
0:12
quickly, turn on the light. Cut the picture. It's the man in
0:16
front of me. He's been stabbed. W O R Mutual presents the distinguished
0:25
American actor Walter Hampden in the Adventures of Leonorda's Witherall. Leanora's Witherow's always getting
0:39
mixed up and murdered. Well, you wouldn't think so. He looks just
0:41
like Shakespeare is dead, and he's kind of an important school for boys in
0:45
New England. He also writes through the stories on the side, the Lieutenant
0:48
hazel Time story and being headmaster of an important school for boys, whither All
0:53
is often called upon to preside at school functions, isn't he, mister Hampton.
0:56
Yes. The class of nineteen twenty five is gathered for an alumni dinner
1:00
on the Meredith campus. Although being the life of the party isn't exactly to
1:04
Witherof's taste, inevitably he has been chosen as master of ceremonies, and inevitably,
1:11
too, there's the horrible necessity of an after dinner speech. Gen gentlemen
1:21
with us this evening are the members of that immortal backfield famous in Meredith's football
1:26
history, the four Killers. There's Dick Underwood, who has become a world
1:33
famous publisher. His magazines and newspapers are so humorous. I doubt even he
1:38
could name the war. I became a world famous publisher with all yes and
1:44
how and why? The different stories. The other three men here know that
1:48
story. I hope whether raw doesn't tell on me to log brings too many
1:53
memories. It's very dangerous. Dick first got his start in the publishing world
1:57
with Sam Graves. I believe he and Sam were inseparable on the campus,
2:02
co editors of the Merriagorus Bulletin, and Sam always ran interference for Dick on
2:07
the football field, inseparable on the campus, best friends in the world.
2:13
Whither all doesn't know about that afternoon and takes office that brainy afternoon five years
2:16
ago. Get out, Sam, get out before I have your program.
2:23
You'll see me day. You sit right there at that fancy desk of yours,
2:28
and keep your mouth shut while I tell you something. I know just
2:30
what you want to say. You've had a diggy deal, So what happens.
2:34
You want me to sing hearts and flowers. No, I just want
2:37
to tell you that when you forced me out of this juicy business of yours,
2:39
I knew exactly what you were doing. I knew what was going on,
2:43
but I needed the money, so I had to send my stock to
2:45
you. Is that all that's on your mind. I built every magazine you
2:47
own. I stayed up for two in the morning every night for month,
2:51
editing, developing ideas and making up dummies. Why it was through me that
2:54
you got control of every newspaper you have. Well, you've no kick coming.
2:58
I tell you you for the stopper, and maybe I have no claim
3:00
in court. What I have against you is just a matter of ordinary human
3:04
decency. That's more important. Maybe it is in your cheme of things.
3:07
You're wasting my time, Sam, I came back to tell you, Dick,
3:10
someday I catch up with you. You can't take twenty years work from
3:14
a man and then brush him off with a little check for a couple of
3:16
shares of stock. I knew we should have had some sad music. You
3:22
will get your sad music. I'll see that. Then. I suppose that's
3:25
your subtle way of saying you're going to get even sad. You're always so
3:30
obvious. Family. Just as soon as I can arrange it, you're going
3:32
to have that sad music funeral music. Yes, Sir, Dick and Sam
3:39
have been an inspiring example of how strong and lasting of friendship can become,
3:45
especially when founded in the formative days. I'd almost said the healthier days of
3:50
school life. We've spoken of two members of the four Killers, but we
3:54
mustn't overlook the others. There's Harry Bellows. His ambition was to be a
4:00
lawyer, and what a prominent member of the bar he has become. Yes,
4:04
the third member of our four Killers has found his measure lawyer, a
4:11
very successful lawyer with wrong What a miserable failure on the way because of my
4:15
dear friends, the giant of the heart that from me coming back from the
4:26
well. I tell you you can't do this to genetic We went all through
4:35
that before I married her, and he was supposed to be a very close
4:38
friend of mine. We trusted each other, Bleach, I trusted you time
4:42
married Ennis. Now and what happens between us as none of your diste Harry,
4:46
I thought you'd be in here, please, I don't know what you
4:49
said, but it's home. Just leave us alone, won't you. You've
4:53
been out on Jack flabbing to him again about how I treat you. He
4:56
doesn't have to. Anybody can see that she's a nervous wreck. I wanted
4:59
to kill you when you're first her from me. Anything you can do,
5:00
Harry, you're justn't curiating yourself and me. That's right, Tevin, that
5:04
again, of course, and that you could leave me. I keep Dick
5:09
Junior as a lot of the fact, you too, may have given me
5:12
grounds for divorce. Henny, you're only making trouble. I know what you're
5:15
doing. Jeanette mine to her emotions. I thought you were a lawyer,
5:17
not a psycholic. It was bad enough when you took her away from me.
5:20
Now I have to stand by and what you ruined her life? Please
5:24
go, I just beat some CHENI to you mind, try it off it.
5:30
Oh it's no use, Ran. Don't you understand that you can't change
5:32
him, and I wouldn't leave my son. I'll give you just sixty seconds
5:36
to get out of this cabin and then never mind. I'll go. But
5:41
I'll provide the finish to this very bloody finish, it'll be too thanks.
5:46
Let me quote from my favorite poets, those friends thou hast and their adoption
5:53
tried grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel. Yes, gentlemen,
5:58
Harry Bellows has become a bride and lawyer, and I imagine he owes much
6:01
of his success to the war and encouragement of Dick's friendship. And now the
6:06
fourth member of our incomparable football combination. He's here too, Jack Gregor.
6:14
Jack's become a superb bodists And I think it was Dick on the will who
6:16
first inspired him the paint. Dick believed in Jack. It helped. Dick
6:23
was very healthy. Yes, he did everything he could for me. For
6:28
instance, when I came to an apartment that night it was three in the
6:30
morning. Dick, I'm awfully sorry the button like this. I know it's
6:39
terrible light, but this is so important. Was the better. He's in
6:45
trouble. It's my brother Macanon. Yeah, yes, you met Tommy,
6:53
haven't you? Fifect though about seventeen, isn't he? That's right. Our
6:57
parents died when we were very young. I've had to work. I never
7:00
had the chance to well sort of look after Tom, you didn't come here
7:03
at three o'clock in the morning to tell me your family's history. That Joe.
7:08
Give me a chance, won't you? Go on? Go on?
7:11
Well er Tom, he's kind of a wild kid, now, come on,
7:15
come on. Last night he and two other boys stole a bracelet from
7:18
a jewelry store. Your brother's alvis to me like a plain ordinary crookman home.
7:23
He hasn't had the right friends. The kid his age gets involved so
7:27
easily. The gang had probably call him yellow if he didn't go with him
7:30
on a job like that. What of it? What do you come here
7:31
for us? I I need money? Oh? The jeweler said he wouldn't
7:36
prosecute. If we'd pay for the broken window, a new lock, and
7:40
give him tash for his insurance, the lad will go up. You see.
7:43
Well, well, I'm not working now. I use my last than
7:48
to pay the rent. The whole thing comes to a hundred dollars. Would
7:53
you give it to me? Dick, I've got a swell possibility a job
7:56
that's coming up next month. Next month, you might not get a job
8:00
for a year within a depression. You know, A hundred dollars wouldn't mean
8:03
a thing. To you, Dick, but I did keep my brother out
8:07
of jail. Sorry, Jack, your credit isn't very good. I never
8:09
thought you'd put it to me on a business base. You're asking for money.
8:13
Are sure that's business? You're not working, probably won't get a job
8:16
for a long time. I'm trying. Every day looks like a bad investment.
8:22
You mean a boy's life is either a good cash investment or it Isn't
8:26
that what you want to say? I'll please, let's not go into abstraction.
8:30
You're asking for a loan, and I'm turning it down. If my
8:31
brother gets blocked up, he's through, He's licked. That's his business.
8:35
Haven't you asked your other friend, somebody maybe who's a little more sentimental.
8:41
Most of my friends are broke. The loan company turned me down because I'm
8:45
unemployed. Well, I'm not going to risk good money just because your brother's
8:48
a crazy kid without enough tense to keep out of trouble. The answer is
8:50
no, all right, I won't beg Oh, I'm going to bed,
8:58
Dick. How about it? Would you give me a scot give me a
9:01
chance, say fifty dollars if I wanted to risk fifty at risk one hundred
9:05
good. Nice that you forget about this in a few minutes, but I
9:11
won't. I'll remember it as long as I live. And if my brother
9:15
goes to jail, Dick, it comes out the way I think you will.
9:18
You'll pay for it all right, the hard way. Yes, Jack
9:24
probably owes a lot to Dick on the Wood, and Dick, in his
9:26
turn, was inspired by Jack to dare and to do. I think the
9:31
magnificent friendship between all the four killers is a symbol of the whole class of
9:37
twenty five. Of course, while these four men were in the spotlight,
9:41
we all know one other gentleman was in love part responsible for their brilliant record
9:46
on the football field. Yes, in every game they played they were supported
9:50
by that sturdy tackle, Curry Foster. Curry Foster's the eminent doctor Foster.
9:58
Now, but I'll wager the Good hasn't forgotten the old days here. Merried
10:01
it, the days of his comradeship with Dick on the Woods. I haven't
10:05
forgotten the Meredith No because of me here that Dick learned to despise me,
10:09
here, that he planned his offended. I didn't know about expected that I
10:13
finished my internship then that night in the executive office is the hospital tack.
10:20
Wait a minute, I want to talk to you. Oh hello, Curli,
10:24
finally my Sadan. I've been trying to reach you all week. Look,
10:28
I have a dinner and gakith. This won't take long. Well,
10:33
what is it last Friday? I was dropped out of research? Really for
10:39
the friend? Well, you can always go into some other field. I
10:43
was dropped out of research on account of you, So silly. What did
10:48
I have to do with it? You're a director of this hospital and what
10:50
you say goes. I found out that you killed my appointment to work under
10:54
doctor Man. Why is it nothing of the sort of boy? You did
10:58
it a cheap way too. Didn't come out in the open and say you
11:01
disapproved. No, you made remarks about me, about my personality, about
11:03
my ability. You told a couple of rotten lies about me too, and
11:07
everyone believed them because you're the great night go around here. Well, Frankly,
11:13
you do have kind of a jippery personality, Curly, and I didn't
11:16
think if you were quite the man for the job. I became a doctor
11:18
so I could do research. This is going to make it impossible for me
11:22
to get into research. Anywhere else. Oh, I'll never be able to
11:26
live down being dropped here, and I can never in my life stop those
11:30
stories. Do you know what that can do to someone trying to start out
11:35
in medicine. You know, I might as well take the ten years I've
11:39
put into this and toss them out the window, telling me I can't do
11:41
researchers like cutting off my right hand. Oh, don't exaggerate, Kelly.
11:46
I'm not going to endanger the success of the department with an unpredictable man.
11:50
I had the highest rating in my graduating class. Mansfield said he was looking
11:54
forward to working with me. Well, we all have our little set back.
11:58
I knew you were four flush ever think you were fifteen. I was
12:01
the only kid in Merrith who had you down for what you were, and
12:03
you loathed me for it. You will never be much of a doctor,
12:05
Curley. You're too excitable, too many fantastic ideas. Get this, Dick.
12:11
Last Friday, you blew my career up in smoke. You started something
12:15
when you did that, And I'm going to have the last words, the
12:20
very last word. Yes. Dick was a director of the hospital at Curly
12:24
Foster Service Internship and I'm sure that there he was a source of hope and
12:30
the real assistant as doctor Foster began his life's work. Now, before we
12:35
go on speaking of other personnel, it is for you from Sam Gray.
12:39
You want to show the picture now, mist whether or no? Yes,
12:41
Sam. Sam's not only been very active as a publisher, you know,
12:43
but he's quite an amateur scientist and a photography expert. He is the motion
12:50
picture scenes of the campus back in the twenties, highlights of the Four Killers
12:54
in actions. Yes, I have the projection machine set up right back there
13:00
at any time. Have you have you got the Digbie games him? Oh?
13:01
You will see shots of every game we played, Harry, I never
13:05
knew that there's a picture. Sign are lots of things about me you didn't
13:07
know, Dick. Why do I focused this thing? Can I help it?
13:11
Then? No, Jackson on, there's nothing to it. Lights out,
13:13
please, that's to be pitch black in here. God stop the show
13:18
right now. I'll explain the picture as we go along. If I have
13:24
to stand him back a bit machine, if my voice sounds muffled or can
13:28
they let me know? And I've tried to talk louder. There's some music
13:31
later, I had a sound record dubbed with a film. When I get
13:37
that turning, Yeah, okay, there are the four killers. There you
13:41
are Dick. Look at me. Two uniforms we had. There you are,
13:46
Harry. Yeah, we're number thirteen, the good old thirteen at the
13:50
fact, the smiling quarterback. Remember, let's think I look like a toothpaste
13:54
there. Now here's the digbie game. Watch closely. Dick pulls a spinner
14:00
over about twenty yards. Now the cart stands up and chairs. He's going
14:07
down the line down that wait, wait, stop everything, turn on the
14:11
right, quickly, turn on the lights. It's Dick. I saw a
14:16
shadow standing over him with the knight. I'll switch the light arm. There
14:18
we are, Dick. He's been stabbed. Somebody stabbed him while you were
14:24
showing the picture, Sam, I think I think he's dead. Oh no,
14:28
that's incredible. Here, h I'm afraid you're right, Jack, he's
14:33
dead, but I can't believe it. Stabbed in the back, Doctor Foster,
14:39
would you take a look at him. Maybe he's still alive. And
14:41
I step aside where you're let's see him. M hm m hm. Knife
14:46
went through his back and penetrated his heart. Men doctor, you telephone the
14:54
police. I will, mister Wither, I'll use the phone down. I
14:56
don't think you should have surned for the police, Miss wither or not yet?
15:00
Well why not? Sam Dick was a very prominent man. There'll be
15:03
a terrible uproars and newspapers find out if he's been murdered. It might be
15:07
smarter to think first of what we'll say, how much we will tell them.
15:09
Besides, we've well, we've all got reputations to worry about. I
15:13
agree with Sam. I think we should lock the doors and try to work
15:15
this out ourselves. If you make this public, everyone would be subjected to
15:18
rumors, suspicions, accusations. We can't let that happen now. I think
15:22
you and Sam are covering up Jack. You're a lawyer, Harry. I
15:24
presume you've some basis for saying that. I don't see why we shouldn't turn
15:28
it over to the police immediately. That's all. You have a reputation for
15:31
being mixed up in murdered, mister Witherall, Yes, sure, mixed up,
15:33
for thoroughly mixed up yourselves some killing. Oh really helped the solution along
15:39
as the gentlemen, they say, I resemble who's written murder though it had
15:43
no tongue. We'll speak with most miraculous organs. Maybe you can help work
15:50
this one out. Yes, ordinarily I'd prefer that the police handle it,
15:54
but since we're at Meredith and you're all alumni, and you're liable to get
15:58
that beer of yours into a lot of club. It's a very durable beard
16:00
and has come safely through many perils. Well, I'll do what I can
16:06
till the police arrived. Will you please be quiet? And when them remain
16:10
seated. Let's see, Dick was sitting there in that chair, Harry,
16:17
you were I was behind him. Oh, I see behind him and Jack
16:22
I was to his left. To his left, I was working the projecting
16:26
machine back there. That would eliminate you. Sam, looks as though either
16:30
Jack or I were guilty, then, doesn't it. No, there's another
16:33
man in this room, in that pitch darkness, anyone could have walked up
16:37
behind Dick and plunged the knife into his bed just the same. I think
16:41
it was one of the four of us. For four killers, You mean
16:45
one of the four killers has taken the title literally. I called the police
16:48
there on the way over. Yeah. Oh, thank you. Doctor.
16:51
Have you seen Dick lately, Curly, Yes, he was guest speaker the
16:53
Medical General I attended a month ago. Maybe you're theory about it being one
16:56
of the four killers, doesn't right, Harry, You're not implying that I
17:00
stabbed Dick, are you? Well? Who anyone in the room could have?
17:06
Harry, you seem rather convinced that Dick on the Wood was murdered by
17:10
one of the remaining members of the famous quartet. Now look, mister wetherall
17:14
everything you said tonight about all of us, I mean, Harry, and
17:17
I don't start that go on. I don't think anything should be concealed.
17:19
Now, all right, the four of us, Dick, Sam and Jack
17:22
and myself, we weren't the happy little group you described, not at all.
17:26
We hated Dick and I thought I'd made such a moving speech. However,
17:32
let us see if murder will find its tongue and speak. I'm a
17:36
lawyer, mister Wetherell. I don't just how much can be brought out by
17:38
questioning. I don't see any point, and everyone's being coy. I despised
17:41
Dick because he took away the girl I loved and married her and then made
17:45
her miserable. Jeanette, that's Dick's wife. She's in a sanitarium now.
17:48
Nervous breakdown they call it. You seem to be working yourself up to break
17:52
down. Well, wouldn't you be in my place now? Besides, Jeannette,
17:57
is the fact that you may excuse me, murdered. You specialize in
18:00
worrying about things before they happen. Why are the two of you so quiet?
18:04
Are you hiding something? I have nothing to hide. I'll tell my
18:07
story good whither or if we go on, we will read it from making
18:11
unpleasant things? Yes, you were saying, Jack, Dick turned me down
18:15
when I wanted money to keep my brother out of prison. He could have
18:18
spared it easily. My brother died a year later in jail. I'm a
18:22
paductory remark. I swore i'd killed Dick for that. I'm glad he died,
18:27
and I'm sorry I didn't have the honor of getting him out of the
18:30
way. It seems that Dick was even more attractive than I pictured him.
18:34
Both of you wanted to kill him. Eh, go on, Sam,
18:38
go on. You haven't spoken yet. I don't intend to. I'll talk
18:41
when i'm questioned by the authority. Listen to you. If you've got something
18:45
to say, get it over with. We want to know who killed Dick,
18:47
and we want to know fast. Go on, Sam, or shall
18:49
I tell some of the story myself about how you work for twenty years for
18:52
Dick and then he chiseled. You are a third motive? Huh. We're
18:57
moving toward our objective the fast than the four of you. I'm the greed
19:00
good. I am too fast. Perhaps, Sam, I was thinking we
19:07
should first show that film again. Oh, there's no sense to that.
19:11
You want us to turn off the lights and give the killer another chance to
19:14
murder somebody. Well, imagine the killer was after Dick. I don't think
19:17
he's going to repeat the performance, unless, of course, he was so
19:19
dazzled by his first job that he feels obliged to provide an encore. Why
19:25
do you insist on showing the film again? I'll only have to rewind it
19:29
and go through a rigmarole. I want to see the film again because of
19:33
something curious. What's that? When you were talking Sam in the dark explaining
19:38
the pictures, I heard a ticking sound. Well, what of it?
19:42
Well, when the lights went on, I noticed there isn't any clock in
19:47
this room. Oh, I don't want to run through that film again.
19:48
It's a silly nuisance, Sam, run the film again. You don't think
19:52
I had anything to do with the murder? Do you why I was standing
19:55
in the back of the projector you heard me talking every second while that film
19:59
was on. Run the film. Stop storming that just because somebody heard ticking.
20:02
I'm going to examine the film eventually. You might as well clear it
20:04
up now. I'll put it on if people all right, Okay, I
20:07
would rewind it a grease on dust all over my hands, pooling with this
20:12
gadget. Do you think that idea you have will lead us to the killer
20:15
mister Witherow You I mean, when the lights go out and we see the
20:19
film, since you seem to be on his trails, whoever killed Dix Flybill
20:25
to have a go at you? Go at me? Well, I don't
20:27
have to take that term. All right, the film's ready. I'm not
20:32
going around the whole business again. Just the third part, Sam, I'd
20:33
appreciate it if you would run the entire sequence just as it appeared when Dick
20:38
Underwood was stabbed. Okay, okay, lights out? Here always there were
20:45
four killers. There we are there you are Dick, Dick. You're crazy?
20:52
Sam? What'd you say that? Pot flying there? Dead? There
20:55
you are Dick? There you are Dick. What's wrong with you? That
21:00
way? For the sound record is stuck, gendleman a, just as the
21:03
film the sound record. Yes, if you turn on the lights, I
21:07
can explain Rot and Lucky Sham to have planned your murder so successfully, so
21:14
carefully, only to have the sound record stick. Sam kills Dick. I've
21:18
found a light switch. Wait here we are. Look at Samock swamped over
21:23
the machine. He's been stabbed. He's dead. Yes, the murderer did
21:29
provide a non call. I saw a shadow standing it. Pick I call
21:33
his carr of standing it? Pick I saw a shadow standing still? Hear
21:37
his voice? Stop the sound doctor, Same story, same story. Stabbed
21:45
in the back, knife penetrated the heart, died in a split second.
21:48
Seems to be the work of a pretty trained hand. Will you either accuse
21:52
me directly or stop making remarks at my expense? How could Sam keep on
21:55
talking after he died. Well, he was a very clever amateur scientist.
21:59
Remember it's obvious he recorded his description of the film on that soundtrack. He
22:06
had a double track to see, one that would seem innocent enough when prayed,
22:11
and the other was a recording he made of his own voice. He
22:15
thought that would give him a perfect excuse. He could say he was standing
22:18
by the machine talking while actually he was creeping in the dark toward Dick to
22:23
stab him. He had it all planned, you see, even to the
22:27
point of discovering the murder. He just committed. I'll turn on the sound.
22:33
Listen to the dead man's speak. It's thick. I saw a shatter
22:36
standing over him with a knife. It's next, see Dick? What was
22:38
that? Picking noise? O? What happened? Very often? He made
22:41
his record in a room where there was a clock, but he didn't notice
22:45
it. He even went to the trouble of apologizing for what might seem to
22:48
be a strange voice quality. Do you remember that all that worked and he
22:52
never got to kill Dick anyway? Or did he? No? Confounded I
22:56
was wrong. Sam's elaborate mechanism took me up a blind alley. I seem
23:02
to have been the true expert. I avoided these small errors as I swept
23:07
on to the grand fallacy. Evidently, Sam started toward Dick, but reached
23:12
him too late. The real murderer, who killed both of these men,
23:17
got there first. And who is the real murderer? Well, when Sam
23:22
was behind Dick, he bumped into the killer. Couldn't see him, of
23:26
course, but he could touch him in the dark. Then the killer,
23:29
knowing Sam had spotted him, took advantage of our second showing of the film
23:33
to silence poor Sam. Hmm, a gentleman, and a rather strange request
23:41
to make. Want would you all remove your coats and passed them to me?
23:47
Or cooperate anyway? Here's mine? Thank you? Doctor? Is this
23:51
another tremendous idea? Like showing the film again? Another blind alley? I'd
23:53
appreciate your coat, Harry? All right? Here here, here's mine?
23:59
Kay, Yes, he's right. Take now that'll do nicely. Gentlemen,
24:03
what are you looking for? Yes? What's the idea? Well, if
24:07
you look at the late Sam's hands, they're grimy, as he said,
24:11
the soil the coupvered with grease and dust from operating the projector they could to
24:15
me if he did touch the murderer in the dark groping toward Dick, it'd
24:21
be a spot on the murderer's coat from Sam's hands. Did you find a
24:25
spot on someone's coat? Yes? I did, on someone on whose?
24:32
Ah? The post of that question? Okay? Who put in that call?
24:37
I? Did those two bodies been moved? Or well? It just
24:40
that way? Just that way, officer. Everybody in a room was around
24:42
when they were stabbed. Yes, okay, I got hold of Dodge mccabble.
24:47
Have you here in a few minutes, then what's start the investigation?
24:48
You don't have to if their weather or all knows who committed the murder?
24:52
Yes, tell us little whether all on whose coat did you find the spot?
24:56
Jack? Yours? Jack? Mm hmm? Wats him? Officer?
25:03
Officer? You two dead bodies and the murderer a rather a well tied package,
25:10
and say where you are you? I'm not going to try to escape
25:15
or even alibi for what I did. I have only one thing to ask
25:19
when I go on trial. Try me for Sam's murder, not Dick.
25:26
Sam's death was inexcusable, it was out and out murder, but Dick's,
25:32
and that was justice. Killing Dick was the only thing to do, perhaps
25:37
Jack, and perhaps not for to quote the bearded poet, I resemble if
25:42
to do were as easy as to know what we're good to do. Chapels
25:48
have been churches and four men's cottages, princes palaces, Ah watch into venice
25:53
at one thing two? Correct, officer? Or what line line number thirteen?
26:00
