- 0:00Speaker 1: Now, doctor Watson, I'm sure we're all as anxious as
- 0:02Speaker 1: I am to hear the strange story of the Iron Maiden.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Well, it was just before the turn of the century,
- 0:08Speaker 2: and Holmes and I had brought to successful completion the
- 0:11Speaker 2: most delicate mission for the reigning family of Saxony, with
- 0:15Speaker 2: was spending a day relaxation the picturesque old German town
- 0:19Speaker 2: of Nuremberg, prepared it to a leisurely trip on the.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Rhine and then back to England.
- 0:25Speaker 2: As we were getting up from breakfast in our rooms
- 0:28Speaker 2: in the hotel, Holmes.
- 0:30Speaker 4: Said, wonderful weather, Watson, and I see your admiring the
- 0:34Speaker 4: excellent view of this quaint old town from my window.
- 0:37Speaker 3: You woos of yous.
- 0:38Speaker 4: All right, you don't sound very enthusiastic. I'm not not.
- 0:43Speaker 2: The trouble with Germany, is Holmes, No, but it's full
- 0:46Speaker 2: of Germans.
- 0:48Speaker 4: Hum to the waiter, come in, come, in, come in.
- 0:52Speaker 5: If I the honor of addressing mister Sherlock Holmes of London, England, er.
- 0:57Speaker 2: This is mister Sherlock Holmes, Sir, my name is Watson.
- 1:00Speaker 5: Not to watch, yeah, mister Holt so celebrated college. Permit
- 1:07Speaker 5: me that I introduced myself. Gentlemen, my name is Vedinant Langa.
- 1:11Speaker 4: Yes, Mattalanga, and.
- 1:12Speaker 5: My friend, the chief pot of this hotel told me
- 1:15Speaker 5: of your arrival, and I have come to beg of
- 1:19Speaker 5: you if perhaps you can help me with my.
- 1:21Speaker 4: So difficult problem. If it is a matter for the police, Mittalanga,
- 1:25Speaker 4: I fear that I should be unable to assist you.
- 1:28Speaker 4: I have no official standing here and betimes, Doctor Watson
- 1:31Speaker 4: and I will be leaving tomorrow.
- 1:33Speaker 5: Ah the police. To the police, I have been with
- 1:35Speaker 5: the Holmes at me, they.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Laugh, I am how do you say?
- 1:40Speaker 5: Chief keeper of the film Edgar term Want the five
- 1:44Speaker 5: corner Tower of the Castle of Nunbeg.
- 1:47Speaker 4: You have heard of it, of course, and of its
- 1:50Speaker 4: famous torture museum, Toki Museum.
- 1:52Speaker 2: It sounds distinctly unpleasant.
- 1:54Speaker 5: For thirty five years now, I've worked in the tower.
- 1:57Speaker 5: The last eighteen years, I am chief keeper.
- 2:00Speaker 4: All this time there.
- 2:01Speaker 5: Is never a complaint about me. But now these last
- 2:04Speaker 5: few weeks the letters has started to come, each one
- 2:08Speaker 5: with more awful threatenings.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Threats mister Langer, threats of one that for all I.
- 2:13Speaker 5: Am carety, that I should resign my position, that if
- 2:17Speaker 5: I do not something terrible will happen here.
- 2:20Speaker 4: He is the latest for yourself. You shall see me
- 2:22Speaker 4: to Ah. Yes, if my knowledge of German says me
- 2:29Speaker 4: vague threats, nothing specific, quite a typical letter. From the
- 2:34Speaker 4: irregularity of handwriting, mister Langer, these slanting lines, and certain
- 2:38Speaker 4: other definite characteristics, I'd say that the writer of this
- 2:41Speaker 4: letter is definitely unbalanced. Ah, you mean Madham, Perhaps not
- 2:46Speaker 4: outwardly so, but most definitely abnormal. And from the fact
- 2:50Speaker 4: that these threats are evidently designed to make you resign
- 2:52Speaker 4: your position, Mitter Langer, I deduce that the author of
- 2:55Speaker 4: them must be connected in some way with the affairs
- 2:58Speaker 4: of the Tower suspicions.
- 3:02Speaker 5: This I do not like to say, mister Holmes, but
- 3:06Speaker 5: there is a young man, my assistant, Heindrich Shila, who
- 3:10Speaker 5: but waits to step into my shoes. He even presumes
- 3:14Speaker 5: to pay court to.
- 3:15Speaker 4: My daughter La.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Oh we well, we're very young ones.
- 3:19Speaker 5: Oh my god, I have better things in mine than
- 3:22Speaker 5: this insolent young man. No, you, to, mister Holmes, think
- 3:26Speaker 5: Heinrich wrote these letters? You think I should have him
- 3:30Speaker 5: arrested or dismissed.
- 3:32Speaker 4: I think you will fire more evidence than a mayor
- 3:34Speaker 4: guest after Langer.
- 3:35Speaker 5: But how shall I get it?
- 3:38Speaker 4: Well? Perhaps when my combined business with pleasure. What do
- 3:42Speaker 4: you say, wasn't suppose we have mister Langer shows through
- 3:45Speaker 4: Nuremberg's most famous fight, the Five Corner Tower.
- 3:49Speaker 5: Oh, here we are, gentlemen. If you will just follow
- 4:13Speaker 5: me through this gate, here, this very gentlemen.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Just a moment, my man.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Are you in charge here?
- 4:23Speaker 2: Yes?
- 4:23Speaker 4: Madam?
- 4:24Speaker 3: Then why are these people being admitted to the tower
- 4:27Speaker 3: while my friend with Simpson and I are kept standing
- 4:29Speaker 3: about in the mark the bar fiance? Oh do please
- 4:32Speaker 3: be careful for me? It isn't as though we were home.
- 4:35Speaker 3: I am sister undoing.
- 4:36Speaker 5: I am sorry, madam, but guitar is not open for
- 4:39Speaker 5: visitors until eleven each morning, as you will find. If
- 4:42Speaker 5: your baby can you have your consult? And it is
- 4:45Speaker 5: now but ten o'clock?
- 4:46Speaker 3: Then why are these two men being admitted? Because no excuses?
- 4:52Speaker 3: I'm English, my man, and in England we believe in
- 4:55Speaker 3: fair play, no favoritism.
- 4:57Speaker 4: I'm sure, mister Wungo that you have no objections to
- 5:00Speaker 4: throwing these two charming leaders through the town with us.
- 5:02Speaker 4: Of course, mister Holmes, if you say hi, do indeed
- 5:06Speaker 4: thank you very.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Much, just what I should expect from fellow.
- 5:10Speaker 4: British pressure to you later lead the way, mister Langham.
- 5:34Speaker 5: At this point, in the very center of the castle,
- 5:37Speaker 5: we are cut from out the solid rock built by
- 5:41Speaker 5: the prisoners from twelve to fifty three. In sixty years.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Later twelve fifty three, victorias that what.
- 5:49Speaker 2: In Heaven's name is that black pit yawning in the
- 5:52Speaker 2: center of the.
- 5:53Speaker 4: Thief bruning the deep Wales?
- 5:56Speaker 5: Lean over and listen by like rock a stone.
- 6:05Speaker 4: Oh, it must be almost possible, about three hundred and
- 6:08Speaker 4: forty feet, I'd say you have been needed for mister Horns. No,
- 6:11Speaker 4: I merely counted the interval from the time you dropped
- 6:14Speaker 4: the stone until the splash.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Oh, Melia down her corridor looks. That's a gett it shadow,
- 6:20Speaker 3: it's getting here.
- 6:21Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, can carry yourself, madam. It's merely
- 6:23Speaker 2: if somebody approach you the.
- 6:24Speaker 6: Torch, Ah, good morning here longer I did not know
- 6:28Speaker 6: you are showing a party, thought so earlier that.
- 6:30Speaker 5: It's highly mister horns Fallow, its highly. Yet sir, here
- 6:37Speaker 5: are the dungeon, says where we've kept the crest is
- 6:41Speaker 5: most insanitary.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I call it nothing but damp stone path.
- 6:46Speaker 3: That's what I should expect a finder.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Old here.
- 6:52Speaker 5: The torture chamber.
- 6:55Speaker 3: What are all those strange objects? Oh, at least there's
- 6:59Speaker 3: accounts for the poor prisoners.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Hardly that idea that the wheelike object of ahead of
- 7:05Speaker 4: it proclaims it's true purpose.
- 7:06Speaker 5: Yeah, mister Holmes, this was the wreck, and that they
- 7:10Speaker 5: would tie the victim, and with the wheel they would
- 7:13Speaker 5: stretch on stretch, on stretch his limbs until his bones cracked.
- 7:19Speaker 3: How awful?
- 7:24Speaker 2: What's that iron color thing of the lead?
- 7:27Speaker 5: Doctor fits into that larger iron frame which over there
- 7:31Speaker 5: you may see around the neck of a prisoner. It
- 7:34Speaker 5: was let unlocked so that the unfortunate man neither sit,
- 7:38Speaker 5: nor lie down nor slip could your chamber of hers?
- 7:42Speaker 5: What there is the boot, the iron frame in which
- 7:45Speaker 5: a prisoner's leg was slowly crushed, the precious for melting
- 7:51Speaker 5: lead and heating tongues and pincers, they are.
- 7:54Speaker 4: All here, and that large iron at theare beneath the
- 7:58Speaker 4: empressure that mister I assume to be a famous iron maiden.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Iron maid.
- 8:04Speaker 4: It looked just like a statue.
- 8:05Speaker 2: He can't say that I consider that a dudiful one.
- 8:08Speaker 5: It is a statue, Madam, but the hollow one, and
- 8:14Speaker 5: for good reason.
- 8:15Speaker 3: I think I'd rather not hear about it, Victoria.
- 8:20Speaker 5: The two halves of this statue swing open within how
- 8:24Speaker 5: many iron spikes, as in the moment you will see
- 8:28Speaker 5: into it was placed the victim, and slowly, slowly the
- 8:34Speaker 5: door upon him was closed.
- 8:37Speaker 2: The maiden's kiss.
- 8:39Speaker 5: The execution has called in.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Imagined a bunch of fellows.
- 8:42Speaker 4: There must have been a most cratic description, mister Langham,
- 8:46Speaker 4: thank you.
- 8:48Speaker 5: Perhaps one of the ladies would like to open this
- 8:51Speaker 5: statue on CVD.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Oh no, not, I nonsense, Victoria. The ghost to prisoners
- 8:57Speaker 3: who've been day to five hundred yeards can't hurt.
- 9:00Speaker 5: I can't, mister guide.
- 9:03Speaker 4: I you live this by here.
- 9:09Speaker 5: And then pull open with this handle.
- 9:13Speaker 3: It works rather stiffly.
- 9:17Speaker 4: Now, don't touch me at home.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Something horrible they spoke of.
- 9:26Speaker 4: No, it has unbelievable control yourself. Chip. Take these two
- 9:32Speaker 4: ladies out into the air.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Up used to like cheer up.
- 9:38Speaker 4: I must say, home.
- 9:39Speaker 2: That's about as nasty as sight as I've ever seen.
- 9:41Speaker 4: Crier Watson. Mister Langer, do you recognize this woman? Never
- 9:47Speaker 4: saw her before? What time? Yes?
- 9:49Speaker 3: The day.
- 9:49Speaker 5: Did the last visitors go through you see miss close
- 9:51Speaker 5: from six o'clock on?
- 9:53Speaker 4: Mister, then the body of this unfortunate young woman must
- 9:56Speaker 4: have been placed here between that time last night in
- 9:58Speaker 4: the present moment. Yeah, but how I cannot.
- 10:00Speaker 5: Understand now at last to meet the policeman have tradition, undoubtedly,
- 10:06Speaker 5: and you would best send for them at once, doctor Watson,
- 10:09Speaker 5: and I will be leaving you in bed tomorrow.
- 10:10Speaker 4: Morning, and authorities will no doubt wish to take our
- 10:13Speaker 4: teath immediately.
- 10:14Speaker 5: I shall see it for him.
- 10:15Speaker 4: We shall wait here for their arrival.
- 10:17Speaker 5: Oh, this candle, it will rate the mu season. Mister Holt,
- 10:21Speaker 5: you have seen Heinrich kill me?
- 10:23Speaker 4: Could he so terrible a teen have done? And that's
- 10:26Speaker 4: mister Langer, is a question we're deafly to the police.
- 10:29Speaker 2: I fetched him at once.
- 10:32Speaker 4: A curious problem, Watson. The solution is, of course obvious solution.
- 10:37Speaker 4: This murder you mean murder. There's been no murder, Watson.
- 10:40Speaker 2: There will remain homes with the cops that were staring
- 10:43Speaker 2: us in the face from inside, that were voting our statue.
- 10:46Speaker 4: If you will examine the corpse for a moment, my
- 10:48Speaker 4: dear Watson, you'll notice that it exhibits no signs whatsoever. Brigard,
- 10:52Speaker 4: I as save you you're right.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Health.
- 10:56Speaker 4: Does it mean simply that this poor woman was dead
- 10:59Speaker 4: long before herbart was put into the Iron Maiden. I've
- 11:02Speaker 4: no doubt that the police will quickly be able to
- 11:04Speaker 4: establish that a corpse is missing from the morgue or
- 11:06Speaker 4: one of the local hospitals.
- 11:07Speaker 2: What can be the purpose of so phenix and so
- 11:09Speaker 2: horrible a plot. I hardly expect you to tell me
- 11:12Speaker 2: it's merely a practical joke.
- 11:14Speaker 4: Far from it. Madness lay at the bottom of those
- 11:17Speaker 4: letters that Lunger showed us at. Madness placed this body
- 11:20Speaker 4: within the statue. But the difficulty, Watson will be to
- 11:23Speaker 4: reveal the madmen behind these eggs.
- 11:37Speaker 1: In just a moment, we'll rejoin Sherlock Holmes as he
- 11:39Speaker 1: endeavors to solve the mystery of the Iron Maiden men.
- 11:43Speaker 1: On hot, sticky summer days, your hair needs extra special care.
- 11:48Speaker 1: And when you buy a hair toanic, why not buy
- 11:51Speaker 1: one that does lots more than just keep hair looking handsome.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Why not get your money's worth and buy Cremmel hair Tannic.
- 11:57Speaker 1: No other hair Tannic keeps the hair more neatly groomed
- 12:00Speaker 1: and attractive looking. Kremmel gives hair such a handsome, clean
- 12:04Speaker 1: cut appearance. They ketch the hair perfectly groomed throughout the hottest,
- 12:08Speaker 1: stickiest day, yet never looks or fields greasy or sticky.
- 12:12Speaker 4: In addition, Kremmel is simply.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Great to lubricate a dry scalp. At the same time
- 12:17Speaker 1: it removes itchy, loose dandrus and leaves the scalps feeling
- 12:20Speaker 1: so clean, refreshed, and alive.
- 12:23Speaker 3: No wonder.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Kreml is preferred among America's most prosperous man. Buy a
- 12:27Speaker 1: bottle of Cramel at any drug counter. After an application
- 12:30Speaker 1: at your barbershop, use this highly specialized hair tonic daily
- 12:35Speaker 1: for better groomed hair and more hygienic scalp k R
- 12:39Speaker 1: E M L Kremmel hair tony. Now, Doctor Watson, what
- 12:45Speaker 1: did Scherlock Holmes do to uncover the madmen behind the
- 12:47Speaker 1: strange deed in the Five Cornered Tower of Nuremberg.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Well, by the times the police had finished reversive this
- 12:53Speaker 2: late in the afternoon, slumperly shake him by the events.
- 12:56Speaker 4: Of the day.
- 12:57Speaker 2: We returned to our cowl, where the two ladies whould
- 13:00Speaker 2: Spencer Grimmer morning with us, we also stopping after a
- 13:04Speaker 2: tub and whiskey and soda. I don't know which was
- 13:06Speaker 2: more welcome. I came back into our room to find
- 13:10Speaker 2: homes in conversation with young Heinrich Schiller.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Anything I can do, mister Hants, I will.
- 13:17Speaker 6: I know that the police suspect me of these letters,
- 13:20Speaker 6: and how can I prove that I did not write them?
- 13:23Speaker 4: Elsa's father shows clearly that he.
- 13:25Speaker 6: Thinks it is I behind all this horror.
- 13:28Speaker 4: If you will carry out my instructions, mister Sheller, I
- 13:31Speaker 4: think we may succeed in clearing up this matter. This
- 13:34Speaker 4: evening hen't blessed you, mister Holts.
- 13:36Speaker 6: If only your camera moved, the shadow that hangs over
- 13:39Speaker 6: Elsa and myself.
- 13:40Speaker 4: Ears and now goodbye until later with fire general reversion.
- 13:48Speaker 2: The young fellow looks as though well woods end.
- 13:52Speaker 4: If the police, the father of the girl you loved,
- 13:55Speaker 4: and even the girl herself suspected you of being an
- 13:57Speaker 4: anonymous letter writer with the latent streak and sane, I
- 14:01Speaker 4: don't quickly doubt that even you could maintain your usual poise.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Possible, but I wouldn't write anonymous letters or put copses
- 14:08Speaker 2: in iron maidens.
- 14:10Speaker 4: I trust not well.
- 14:12Speaker 2: I'm ready to do to do good justice to a
- 14:15Speaker 2: great dinner and then a good night's sleep before we
- 14:17Speaker 2: start our trip down the Rhine tomorrow.
- 14:19Speaker 4: I hope that the dinner will be good, but I'm
- 14:22Speaker 4: sorry to tell you that your chances of a good
- 14:24Speaker 4: night's sleep look extremely poor. H Why because by ten
- 14:28Speaker 4: o'clock this evening, you and I must be securely hidden
- 14:31Speaker 4: in the torture room of the castle. Oh quite, and
- 14:35Speaker 4: before we dine, I'd be obliged if you would unpack
- 14:38Speaker 4: your service revolver and make certain that it's loaded. We
- 14:41Speaker 4: may well be depending upon you before the night is out.
- 14:43Speaker 4: Just a moment, where are you off to I'm going
- 14:47Speaker 4: downstairs to see miss Adebury. I'll meet you in the
- 14:49Speaker 4: dining room.
- 14:50Speaker 2: That grim faced old trod. Don't tell me you're going
- 14:53Speaker 2: to ask her and that massive little companion hers to
- 14:56Speaker 2: dine with us.
- 14:57Speaker 4: Not at all, my dear fellow. I want miss adabury
- 15:00Speaker 4: his assistance in baiting a trap. So there, Miss Aderbury,
- 15:16Speaker 4: you have a frank statement of my problem.
- 15:18Speaker 3: I understand, mister Holmes.
- 15:20Speaker 4: The difficulty, you see, is that although the man in
- 15:23Speaker 4: question is undoubtedly as mad as a hatter. There's no
- 15:27Speaker 4: way in the world by which I can prove it.
- 15:29Speaker 4: And what I fear is that, having begun with threatening
- 15:33Speaker 4: letters and graduated to stolen bodies, his mania may at
- 15:37Speaker 4: any time break out in an even more violent form.
- 15:39Speaker 5: Oh, it's a home.
- 15:41Speaker 3: You don't mean murder. Don't be idiotic, Victoria, of course,
- 15:45Speaker 3: mister Holmes means murder.
- 15:46Speaker 4: Oh, if you are willing to take the risk, Miss Anderbury,
- 15:49Speaker 4: it is my belief that a sudden and violent shock
- 15:53Speaker 4: may serve to bring his madness into the open. But
- 15:56Speaker 4: I'll not disguise from you the fact that, although doctor Watson,
- 16:00Speaker 4: then I will take every precaution, you may still be
- 16:03Speaker 4: running a considerable personal risk.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Do it, e media, This is no concern of yours.
- 16:08Speaker 3: Think what the dear Vicar would say. The Vicar will
- 16:10Speaker 3: probably saint I, however, am made a stern of stuff.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Mister Holmes. I shall be glad to assist you to
- 16:18Speaker 3: the best of my ability.
- 16:19Speaker 4: Capital then I shall see you at about eleven o'clock tonight,
- 16:22Speaker 4: Miss Adbury. Although you will not see us.
- 16:50Speaker 2: From the eleven o'clock Holmes, I feel as though we've
- 16:53Speaker 2: been here most of the night, cold dampness of this
- 16:56Speaker 2: infernal torture chambers like a breath.
- 16:59Speaker 3: From a tool.
- 17:00Speaker 4: I only hope, Watson, that my estimate of our man's
- 17:04Speaker 4: psychology have been accurate. I'd hate to think that I'd
- 17:07Speaker 4: put Miss Adderbury into jeopardy unnecessary.
- 17:10Speaker 2: She looked to me the sort of female who could
- 17:12Speaker 2: take care of herself if she were charged by a
- 17:14Speaker 2: mad elephant.
- 17:14Speaker 4: Nothing wrong with her courage, though there are not many
- 17:18Speaker 4: women who will. Do you hear that, Watson? Yes, yes,
- 17:23Speaker 4: yes I haven't. Now you understand why I point the
- 17:26Speaker 4: hour of eleven. The moon has risen, and enough of
- 17:28Speaker 4: her light comes through that narrow embrasures so that you
- 17:31Speaker 4: can shood straight. If the media rising I have therevolve
- 17:33Speaker 4: already hard once they're in this room, you shan't be late.
- 17:46Speaker 5: You are sure, Miss the Berry, that no one knows
- 17:49Speaker 5: about this visit.
- 17:51Speaker 3: I made a point.
- 17:53Speaker 5: Only because you have shown such great interest and been
- 17:57Speaker 5: so understanding. Would I fool the power I owe you
- 18:00Speaker 5: at night when the museum is closed.
- 18:03Speaker 3: It's too good of you, my dear mister Langer, and
- 18:06Speaker 3: I can't tell you how much I appreciate it, but
- 18:09Speaker 3: I did so want to see it by moonlight. When
- 18:12Speaker 3: I get back to England, I know I shall be
- 18:14Speaker 3: the envy of all my friends.
- 18:16Speaker 5: It's because the proper spirit you show to the memories
- 18:19Speaker 5: of the old Dace that I bring you here now
- 18:24Speaker 5: it is past at night. Those who have once screamed
- 18:29Speaker 5: aloud in this hoom almost you'll mentioned that in the
- 18:34Speaker 5: moonlight you can see them, won't hear them?
- 18:42Speaker 3: Really, mister Lana, you have the most remarkable ability for
- 18:45Speaker 3: summoning up the ghosts of the past. When I think
- 18:48Speaker 3: of what this room must have known, it makes the
- 18:51Speaker 3: cold shivers run down my spine.
- 18:54Speaker 5: It is because you have the imagination that you shall
- 18:57Speaker 5: feel it is but right and proper.
- 19:01Speaker 3: I was so disappointed today when you were unable to
- 19:03Speaker 3: complete your description of all these fascinating devices.
- 19:07Speaker 5: There is no reason why now you should not them
- 19:10Speaker 5: all be seen.
- 19:12Speaker 3: That pair of objects hanging on the wall there they
- 19:15Speaker 3: look almost like gloves hanging at the end of those
- 19:18Speaker 3: iron chain.
- 19:20Speaker 5: Hey, they are gloves, but of a variety most strange.
- 19:26Speaker 5: Come to the wall here do you I show them?
- 19:33Speaker 5: It is most ingenious. So iron gloves. Open into them
- 19:40Speaker 5: with the hands of the prisoner.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Put they may I try them it would all make
- 19:46Speaker 3: it seem so real.

- 20:06Speaker 3: here against the wall with my hands change over my head.
- 20:10Speaker 3: So if you don't mind, that is only.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Half of it.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Oh, you have not yet seen.
- 20:17Speaker 5: I pulled back its levers, and slowly, slowly the stones.
- 20:23Speaker 4: That they flow on your feet.
- 20:25Speaker 5: Move away, I'll tell you, hanging above a pit that
- 20:30Speaker 5: goes down all into the deepest depths.
- 20:33Speaker 2: Of the castle.
- 20:36Speaker 3: And you shall lie.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Or shall hear you already?

- 20:45Speaker 5: release adown you will.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Go reaching for it star, But what button? Just in time?
- 20:54Speaker 4: It's everything, all right, Lester Holmes. I watched the corridor
- 20:58Speaker 4: and as you told me, all right, just traverse that
- 21:01Speaker 4: in funnel device and let's release miss Edbury much. Are

- 21:21Speaker 3: I believe I'd like a cup of tea.
- 21:23Speaker 2: Well, better get this fellow at the hospital homes. I

- 21:32Speaker 4: through the hospital. Go ahead, Missbury the torch.
- 21:39Speaker 2: I realized, Homes that the man was mad. The trap
- 21:43Speaker 2: you set finally brought his madness out into the open.
- 21:45Speaker 4: But there was on away Watson, a long shot, but
- 21:48Speaker 4: the successful one.
- 21:49Speaker 2: I can't understand what Langer was attempting to gay.
- 21:52Speaker 4: I imagine Watson, that his mind had become prested by
- 21:55Speaker 4: his many years among his gruesome exhibits of the past,
- 21:58Speaker 4: and his hatred of young Sheller, both as a prospective
- 22:02Speaker 4: son in law and as a successor to his own position,
- 22:05Speaker 4: must have hatched this mad plot.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Well, it all ended well due to your foreside, Homes
- 22:10Speaker 2: and to your pluck. Very good show, I must sir,
- 22:15Speaker 2: it is a pleasure kill.
- 22:18Speaker 3: Me, doctor Watson. I believe that mister Holmes said that

- 23:00Speaker 2: Are you going ahead? Miss Audray? You catch up with
- 23:02Speaker 2: you in a minute, I say, Holmes, you take her
