  Speaker 3: I laugh.

  Speaker 6: I laugh from Missus Mutooci.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: She is a very happy Who is missus Mattouchin? That's
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: my wife. Well, I'm glad I make your wife happy.

• 4:25
  Speaker 3: make your children happy too. No garbage children, Oh that's
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: too bad. But perhaps by the time we get around
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: to the dessert. No, not enough time. However, mister Temporary,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: you are maybe expected the lady I always hope. But
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: what lady is the one that she's over a corner
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: table with a very beautiful lives corner table. Now that
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: you mention it, you're quite right. She has lovely eyes.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: But I wasn't expecting her, not until Christmas at any rate.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: She's a watch you all dinner. Perhaps there's something fascinating
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: about the back of my neck.
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: To be so, because so now the ladyship gets up,
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: and where do you think she.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Got to this table? Yes? Hmm, well goodbye, Tony, Oh
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I think so goodbye.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I'm in temper, aren't you, Yes, I am. May I
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: sit down?
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: Of course, I'm Laura Kane.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: How do you do? Would you like something to drink?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: No, thank you.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: A drink wouldn't help, or perhaps I could.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty desperate and very beautiful.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Thank you, But you didn't come to my table to
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: hear me say that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: No, mister Temple, you see I know about you.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: It's probably an exaggeration.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: You're the saint.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is an exaggeration, and I need help, desperately
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: help about what, mister templar look hmm, And I think
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: for a couple of reasons, you'd better specify what I'm
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: to look at.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, at my shoulder, my left shoulder.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: It's very pretty. There's a red rose pin doing.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: That's what I need help about the rose And.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I know very little about flowers, except that they're beautiful
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and are very often sent to beautiful women.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Someone who never sent his name, by someone who sees
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: to it that they're delivered secretly, with.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: No word at night.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: That is rather unusual.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Frightens me.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Perhaps the roses is sent by an admirer of yours,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: a very shy admirer.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I thought that at first, but not anymore.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: No matter how shy a man might be, it's not
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: easy for anyone to sneak into a house night after night,
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: on a scene unheard.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: It can't be shyness.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Well, perhaps not.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: It takes cunning determination. There's more too. Yes, my first
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: husband was killed a number of years ago. Police never
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: found out who killed him. When his body was found,
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: mister Templar, there was a red rose pinned to his shoulder.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Mister Templar, Yes, do you think I'm being hysterical about this?
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: I mean, am I attaching too much importance to something
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: that might be harmless?
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know too many unknown factors? You married again,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: didn't you? Yes?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: To Henry last year?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Did he know about your first husband? Of course? Your
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: husband's at home, No.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Which isn't unusual.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's away.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Most of the time. He likes to travel, climb mountains
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: and things like that, and you. I don't like climbing
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: mountains much.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: How about your husband?
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I don't like him much either, I see, do you?
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: He's very rich?
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I suppose in view of your sentiments, he'd have to be.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: And he is away a lot. So there are servants,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: well only Chester the butler.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Does he know about the roses?
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: He knows I've been getting him. I don't think he
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: knows about their connection. With my first husband, which is
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: just as well.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think he admires me, and then why do
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: you keep him mind?
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Henry insists, Henry's very much attached to Chester, and Chester
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: makes a good watch.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Doob This is where I live.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Eh, it's a large house.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: You're being kind.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: It's not only large, it's horrible belonging to Henry's family
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: for hundreds and hundreds of years. I sometimes get the
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: feeling all of them are still living in.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: It with us.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: No lights in the house. Oh.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Chester likes to go to bed early, and he's careful
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: about saving Henry's money as well as his reputation.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: He always goes about turning lights off.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Must make the house a very cheery plays.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: It does cheery as a tomb i. You know I'm
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: afraid to go in.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Ring Chester wouldn't like being waked.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: You asked me to come home with you because you
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: were afraid your unknown admirer, the man who's been sending
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: you the roses, might be waiting for you. Well, I
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: could go in alone.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: And I'm being silly.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: The light switches to your right, son, right.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Anyway, there's no one in the foyer. I'm counting my
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: blessings as they come along.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Where are the roses?
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: Usually left, sometimes on the door step, mostly though in
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: the living room, on a table there.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: And then suppose we drive the living room.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Yes, wait, the land's right near the door. I'll get it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: There's nothing on the table, no.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Roses, no roses, but Missus Kane on the couch the far.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Corner flowers are there.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: They never Henry, stay where you are. This is Kane.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Oh please, mister Tipps, please tell me he's all right.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid I can't. Missus Kane. Yes, yes, there's a
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: knife buried in his chest. He's dead. Oh no, Henry, mister, yes,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I know. Missus Kane. Your husband is holding a red rose.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: And mister Tambla over there.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: All right, we want to be alone.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: I don't break this case.
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: I'm liable to wind up being alone someplace out in
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: Staten Island.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Kane was a very rich boy. Very rich don't like.
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: To get murdered unlike the poor. You mean the same difference,
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: except around dumps like this. The CoP's gotta be careful.
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: I look, templar, we got your story and the babes.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Missus Kane is a very beautiful and need I remind
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: you a very wealthy woman.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: If she's a babe.
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: We got your stories translated, that means we got a
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: couple of pages of nothing. How did you happen to
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: know that her first husband got himself knocked off too?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I didn't happen to know, she told me.
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: I suppose maybe that's a markt of favor. But how
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: do you like the Butler Chester?
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. I never met him.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: I mean as a suspect.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I never liked. Butler's a suspect, old fashioned.
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: He lives here, except he don't seem to be living
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: here anymore. Uh, it makes sense to me whatever it
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: does to you.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: The thing I'm worried about it is was his disappearance
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: a coincidence? Or would it be because he stuck the
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: knife and the boss? I wouldn't know, of course, if
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: we figure him for the kill, and it wouldn't make
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: everybody very happy except Chester.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well we'll find him.
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: Well, one the more to do around here, So I
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: guess I'll pull the boys. I'll go back to my
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: pinockle game. You stand on mm for awhile you would
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: think that would own needs consolations.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Lieutenant you are a cad.
• 11:30
  Speaker 10: If nobody ever confused me with a gentleman, anybody ever
• 11:33
  Speaker 10: confused you with a saint.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: But it's nice of you to even consider the possibility.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Ah uh A good night to alright, boys, go home,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I'm still here.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: It was nice for you to stay, and the police
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: were very nice.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Why not get to bed now? Mm there's nothing to
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: be done tonight, Diamond.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Do they really think Chester killed my husband? Do you
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: know Chester would never have harmed Henry.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Where That leaves Chester with a job on his hands
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: explaining his disappearance. But that's his problem.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: I suppose I am tired.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Son, Well, I'll go, but Laura, yes, I don't think
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: he'll show up. I'm not talking about Chester.

  Speaker 3: walking into the lions den. Good heavens, do I look
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: like a lion? No? No, much more like a lamb,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: so I've been told better getting away from that readful house.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I never could stand beyond the horrible Yeah, not to
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: mention the policeman out front, please, that's not all right.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: And mister Temper, you're quite a detective on Joe, but
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: not exactly a detective, but you do detect every once
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: in a while. Don't know when I can't help myself.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Why when you see I drove up the house and
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: noticed hordes, but hords a policeman outside. I've been expecting
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: to drop in on Laura and and share a cup
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: of tea with her. Champagne would seem to be more
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: in Laura's lion. Well, I don't mind a bit of
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: my myself, you know. However, babbling What I mean to
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: say is, with all those policemen around. I thought it's
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: hardly wise to visit, and you know no, Oh, I'm sorry,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I've been terribly rude. My name's Gordon Ashington. My friends
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: call me Goney. Well I'll try to resist, but you
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: haven't told me yet. Whatever has happened where at dear
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Laura's of course, Well it's dear Henry's too, you know
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: what his dear Laura's house. Oh well, yes, of course.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: But why I think of nasty things because they've become
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: even nasty? What a further are you trying to say,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: dear Henry is dead. Well, it's most distressing, of course,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: but dear Henry is not only dead, he was murdered. Oh,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Dear Laura shouldn't ever. Oh that is what makes you
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: think Laura did. I didn't say. I do not think
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: that Laura did anything of the sort. I Oh, I
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: just remembered a terribly important engagement. You will excuse me
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: going to if you can get a care right at
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: the corner. Oh, yes, of course, mister Ashington. Yeah, that engagement.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: You just remembered what I'd be very careful keeping it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Oh nonsense, it's a business engagement. Might be the making
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: of me perhaps on the other hand, it might be
• 15:18

• 15:55

  Speaker 3: what bothers me.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Also, it's my taxi.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: You know something is stock in the Jason Well. That
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: happens in New York too, Yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: But it's more like home there here.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: It don't make me feel good. You're not supposed to
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: feel good. We're out our way to help a man
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: whose life may be in danger. Oh no, I feel WOI.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Well this buffler Chester proposal.
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: He killed mister Kane himself, so from whom would he
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: be in danger for?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: But he may not have killed Kane. Lewis sort of
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: let him stay in New joycey. No, No, he was
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: in the house when Kane was murdered.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but he didn't see the killer.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: If he's telling the truth, that's right now. Except the
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: killer may not know that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: This year is the place.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, cabin said back in the road, come on, let's stand.
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: I should have wrung my elephants of if I had elephants.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: If we're not having elephants, there.
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: Could be a lot safer than what we're doing.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know, don't complain is defenil Please? It sounds
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: you're liable to hear out from this wilderness, and that
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: sounds I want to hear the lights in the cabin.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: Maybe Chester wants to Pennsylvania and it's the temple.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: It's a joke.
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: See there's a town of Pennsylvania called chest Yeah, all right,
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: maybe it wasn't a joke. May lease and let you
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: hear my feet forget you're gonna knock?
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Of course? Who who's the Simon Tempter? Chester? Yeah? And
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Louis and Louis come in please quickly. I haven't stand
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: to put the lights on in this room. If it
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: pass the road, Where do you come with me? Oh?
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: I should have had the lights on here in the
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: kitchen either, but I was afraid to wait the darky.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Is anyone likely to suspect you may have come here?
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I can't even thank mister Temple. You're
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: sure you don't know who killed mister Kane.
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: No, I don't.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: If I did, I could have gone to the police
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: and been safe. This went to mister Kane was very wealthy,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: wasn't he.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir?
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: And Missus Kane, well, she was married to mister Kane,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: so I meant in her own right, I don't think so, Sir.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Kane wasn't home very much at the time, was he, No, Sir, Why, well,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: he wasn't really happy in his manage. He could have
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: divorced his wife. Will not mister Kane, Sir, he couldn't
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: have endured the scandal.
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: And same Chester.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: That name. You can't think of the killer's name. Could
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: it possibly be Gordon Ashington?
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: What does mister Ashington do besides have tea with Missus Kane.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: He raises flower, Sir? He has a conservatory out of
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: all now he's interesting among those flowers? Could there possibly
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: be roses? Roses? Yes, you know what they are, oh Coulson.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: But then suppose you answered my questions right, I should
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: imagine you raised roses, sir Chester. Yes, sir, I'm having
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: unkind thoughts about you. What do you mean, mister Temple.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I think, for example, that you know who killed mister Kane, who.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I think also that your original intention was to keep
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: quiet about that knowledge until the case had been closed
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: is unsolved. What why would I do a thing like that?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: It's an ugly word, Chester, but I'm afraid I'll have
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: to use it blackmail for that. That's ridiculous now for
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: an innocent man. There's no explanation of your behavior that
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: holds water. I was afraid mister Kane was nice today.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: The room in which he died showed no signs of struggle.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Therefore you couldn't have heard the murder. You must have
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: seen it. No, sir, your story about fleeing from mysterious
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: footsteps is childish. According to your own story, you had
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: no way of knowing whose they were, or even who
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: had been killed. An honest man in your circumstances would
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: simply have run out into the street and yelled for help.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: You didn't now who killed mister kinge Jester, I don't,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: or would you prefer dying alongside the murderers an accessory
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: after the fact? Yeah, very well, sir, I did see you. Wait,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: it's that window. Chester, you're near the lamp turned off
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: unado he he he didn't turn it off. No, a
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: bullet did it for him. I came through that window.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: We can find the door, and it's come found in darkness.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, here it is.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: There was a car, kill his car. We're too late,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Louis Fron. Let's go back in. Yeah, there's another lamp
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: around the wait strike a match please, huh okay, mister Temple.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah here it is, mister Temples. I know Lewis. Two
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: of the bullets hit him.
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: Oh, ain't gonna bottle no more.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Huh No. He's second murder scene in two days, but
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: in this one he played the title role. You almost
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: the template. And now Jerysey Cops wasn't bad.
• 22:17
  Speaker 11: You know, if I shut my eyes, I could almost
• 22:18
  Speaker 11: have imagined there was New York Cops just close to
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: show you, to show you what that crossing a river.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Don't change your cup. I'm taking you home. No, Louis Aha,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: missus Kane, if you don't mind, I mind. Look, mister Templar,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: maybe she's beautiful, but right now I could easily spine.
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: Even Helen of Troy, and from what I hear from
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: the boy, she would be all time to make it.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: You hear right? How do you know you was around
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: while she was still on the vine? Louis? Yeah, we're passing.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Missus Kane tows.
• 22:50
  Speaker 11: Oh, oh there's a cop.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Don't show there is wait for me, Louis. Oh wait,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: hey you? Oh oh mister Templar, Hello again, Joe. I
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: like to see missus Kane. So what I I mean
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: at this hour? Does she turn invisible at fidin hours? Oh? Follow?
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I know she wants to see you, but you might
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: try asking her. Okay you wait here? Why? Well? That
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: way I get to see her too. Hey, you know
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: something I'm afraid I do. She's gone, that's right, But
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: how did I know? I get? She shouldn't abduct us.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: I'm supposed to protect her.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Hey, hey, mister Templar, where are you going? Believe it
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: or not, Joe, I'm going to pick a few flowers.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: That would be the green houses over there? Yeah you're
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: interested in Flowish stover slare small house, but Gordon lived.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: I should think there's a light on it here, and
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I don't see how quietly I can open the door.
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: M m Very quietly, but very bad man's murders? Who
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: going ny there about.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: It was the temple where I know I.
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: Can cry, are you sts?
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Whatever would the police that they find out you've been
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: gallivander ground as part of the things when they find
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: out you did.
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: I was here only no Gordon.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: Because when I got here, I'll stop and touch the
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: hood of your car, which was hot.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: I've been restless and I'm going out here grinding.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Where to Gordon? I wasn't go to the bill up?
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: What difference did it makes? Fair eyes, I haven't fust
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: become rich because of the murder.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: As I have.
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: I'm two and not for the first time.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: I knew about my first husband and the roses.
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: I knew the one.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Giving us slama, growing and helping you bear the burden
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: of your great wealth.
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: To the idea I shall perhaps go.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: No, this is where we come in good evening. Simon,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: what the devil do you mean by not knocking, including eavesdropping.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: I'm a cat and you'll never hear me call you
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: God better let go of Laura.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: You can be so heroic about which is a matter
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: of fact. I'm here merely to give you a message
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Elle from whom Chester.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Time and the police have found him.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: He's in their hands at the moment, Timon.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: The police won't treat him badly, will they? Because he
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: didn't kill Hendry.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: He didn't kill Henry, and the police won't treat him
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: badly if he's dead. Poor old Chap, you lack conviction
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: with ash I like interest.
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: After all?
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: What is Chester to me? More than you realize that?
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: You see, he was shot to death in front of
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Louis and me. He had been in the house when
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Henry Kane was murdered. To you, who the murderer was?
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: I still like him?
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: You certain before he died? Chester has that name on
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: to me? He did? He did? Is that why you're
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: waving as gunn aby? I just want to be sure. Listen,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: I don't care what Tester said. If he told you
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I murder gained you, he was lying that.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: It's like Gordon, please put that gun away.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: No, Gordon, don't put the gun away, but stop pointing
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: it at me. You might try another direction until the
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: police arrived. Other direction.
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: Who missus, James?
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Of course you see she happens to have killed both
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: her husband and Chester Simon.
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: Oh dear, oh my.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Husband's sake, don't think till later. So in the middle
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: of the night. We're sitting in the restaurant. This adds up,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: It certainly does. Laura Kane interrupted me earlier tonight, and
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I never got to the dessert, and mister Temple, I
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: know the.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Cops are locked missus cane up.
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: Which personally I think is a waste on a kind
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: of how she looks.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: But look, I can't believe she killed her husband and
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: the butt she did love.
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'd like to ask you how you know, only
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: I don't want to stay hicckled breakfast.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: It's very simple, Lily. Yeah, her motive is out here.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: She did atrat Kine might divorce her, therefore she killed
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: him and hoped to inherit his money, uh huh. And
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: the roses and the tent and Robert a clever one
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: to direct suspicion at Gordon. She even put on an
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: act with Chester about the roses. Ordinarily, if Chester hadn't
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: decided blackmailing her would be more fun. Either testified about
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: the roses routine and helped him Vic Gordon.
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but how now excuse me, but I
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: think any minute the sun was gonna rise out of
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: you know, whoever murdered Chester had been eavesdroppers, and knew
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: that Chester hadn't been given the opportunity to tell us
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: the murderers name.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Yet when I suggested, Chester had told me how Gordon
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: got scared and started waiving a gun. So you know
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: he was innocent, and that's what made his change. A
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: lady whose love was not at all like a red
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: red rose.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: You have been listening to another transcribe adventurer of the Saint,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: the robin Hood of modern crime.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Now here is our starve and some price. Ladies and gentlemen.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: All of us who live in the United States are
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: aware of the material values of American life, our factories
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: and machines and luxuries. But there is another side to
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: American life, a side made up of spiritual values. Our
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: country was founded upon faith in God. In the Declaration
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: of Independence, it faiths that men were endowed by their
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Creator with certain inalienable rights. Thus, religious faith is part
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: of the very foundation of American democracy, and one of
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: our most precious national heritages is freedom of worship. Without faith,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: the family and the community become unstable. Without faith, the
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: individual denies himself the fuse and guidance of religion. The
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: doors of your churches and synagogues are open to you.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: The freedom to worship as you please is yours, and
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: so America's religious organizations invite you to find yourself through
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: faith and to come to church this week. Missus Vincent
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Price inviting you to join us again next week at
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: the same time for another exciting adventure of the Saint

  Speaker 3: this station, Morning, Dude and Night.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: MB.

  Speaker 3: This is NBC, the National Broadcasting Company. This is Andrew J. Graham,

  Speaker 3: author of the web surface series Oh and a Man
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: and his Wife. You're listening to the great detectives of
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Old time Radio.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: Welcome back.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Well an interesting final episode. I actually liked the confrontation
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: with Chester the most. That was probably the best scene
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: in this There's no mention made of Vincent Price's departure,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and I doubt it'll be discussed in next week's show either.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Usually the approach taking an old time radio is just
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: here's your star, folks, pay no attention that we just
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: changed to. That is the one thing Vincent Price was
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: known to have set about playing the Saint was that
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the hardest part was finding new ways to get conked
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: on the head. He really provided a great and very
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: memorable performance. He's a hard act to follow, and we'll
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: see how Conway lives up to the challenge. There are
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: people who actually prefer the Conway episodes more so. Certainly
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: be interesting to hear. Also, I do have to say
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: that I like the jingle of then very nice and
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: a very special gift, I guess to people who like
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifties nostalgia. All right, well that will do it
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: for today. All right, well that will actually do it
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: for today. We will be back tomorrow with Ellery Queen,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: and next week the Old Order Changeth com Conway will
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: take over as the Saint. In the meantime, senderr comments
