  Speaker 4: reasonably except it seems to me that if Frank is
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: going to marry Cora in a few days, as he says,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: it'll be better for him not to be married to you.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: That's his problem.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Sure, you don't want to tell me about Bronson.
• 12:54

• 14:09
  Speaker 4: up at this window. You were parked at the end
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: of the end. Did you see anyone come out of it?
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Maybe Cora Allison? Hello Field, Oh, mister templar. I tried
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: to follow you at your apartment. Missus Allison has asked
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: me to inform you that your services are no longer needed.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Just a moment, Field, please take your foot out of
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: the door where I should be forced to call the police.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Hardly like the Field, you haven't forgotten. The murder was
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: committed not long ago. I was standing outside Patricia Dun's
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: apartment when it happened. I don't know what you're talking about, sir.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: I don't want to call you a lie, Field, but
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: you're tempting me. I've got a strong feeling Cora did it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I also think you drove her van back in the limousine.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: You're wrong, mister Templar. I haven't left the house all afternoon,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: nor has the car left the garage. There you go again.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I felt the hood on the limousine not two minutes ago.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: It's too warm, and I'd also like to find something
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: else but warm. Was that a gun fired? Probably by
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: the dainty hand of a girl who has everything except
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: the rights up with him. Now, believe me, it feels it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: It'd be a lot less trouble if you'll let me
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: inter talk to Cora than if I find a telephone
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: and talk to the police. Well, Corra's in her bedroom.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: She's come in. Mister Templar, Wow.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: All right, if you're going to keep on crying, we're
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: not going to get any work. I'll tell you what's
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: didn't yes, and you don't believe it. I'd like to,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: but you've got a lot of things to explain. One
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: is the automatic to used to carry it? What's a
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: pistol for? It's not for shooting?
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Oh, I never shot a pistol in my life.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, I see you used it as a paperweight.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: No. I carried it because, well, because it looks.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Good, uh huh, like a mink gate.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, I tell you I didn't kill her.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Would anyone know if you ever told to you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: to some people it also looks good to tell him
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: at the table lives. You also said you went to
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Patricia's apartment.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I wasn't.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: I came home right after the races and had dinner here.
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: Yes, I came right home.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: All of which reminds me of to Nokio, whose nose
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: got longer every time you lied.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Ask for you. I was long afternoon he saw me.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: We've already been through it. His nose is getting longer too, Cora,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: listen to me. A cab driver saw you running up
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: the alley away from Patricia's place after the shots were fired.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: It's somebody, It doesn't matter who.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: You're making it up.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Strangely enough, I'm not like you, Cora. I don't think
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: it looks good to make things up, especially when murders concerned.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: They can't be saw you and the migizine and field,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: and I'll tell you onting more the police will be

  Speaker 6: No, don't believe her, mister Templar, she's lying.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: Oh mother, she didn't kill Patricia Dunn.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I know because I did. I just phoned the police
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: and confessed.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Shall I have a partner to set us up against? Say?
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: No, not for me. You go ahead, Eddie. I know

• 18:06
  Speaker 3: No, no, I'll skip it. Hey, we are we doing here?
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Anyway? What did he? What forth Frank had done? This
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: is his face if and when he shows up. I
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: want to see if he's in morning, you.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Mean, after all that's happened, you're still in the case.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: No, no, not exactly what good the client If.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: She's on the way to the death house the meeting
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: missus Alice meaning the same, then you really think she's done,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: she says, So don't want to you go home and
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: go to sleep.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Let's just say I'm rifless, Eddie. I've been latching that
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: man at the end of the bar, the one in
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: the brown pen strive to work. His uh name Bronson,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: at least that's what the bar he'd called him. So
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: so he's the one who's in with Frank Dunn on
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: the horse ray speed. He gave the bartender a package.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: The bartender locked the package in the safe, then gave
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Bronson an envelope. Bronson opened the count loop and put
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: the contents into his wallet. Eddie, what would you put
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: in your wallet that was green and negotiable cabbage? If
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I add it was cabbage, you're right, cabbage and lettuce
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: s mooler fish clams or whatever euphemism you want to.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Use his shirt a track whenness.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Maybe that seems I can find out. Good evening, mister Bronson.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: We have met, and not formerly, but we have mutual friend.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Frank Dunn Cora Allison. They told me you had a
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: great way to beat the horses, A sure thing and
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: until your court that is?
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: Are you young man?
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Superman? And my X ray eyes penetrate your coat and
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: see the money in your inside pocket? Your shriff done, track.
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: Women, you're the most absurd young man I've ever met.
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: That mother was for a package. I left, wister done?
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: What was in the package?
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: I failed to see how that's any of your affair.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: It's just it is.
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: And to relieve my curiosity, books, young man, I'm a
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: book dealer.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I have a shop on Third Avenue. You must come
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: and see it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Sometimes.
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: The money mister Dunn gave me was simply a payment
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: for the books.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: They must be pretty expensive, but there was a lot
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: of money in that ambla rare books.
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: Tell me, young man, where did you ever get that
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: delightful notion that I know how to beat the horses?
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: That I'm involved in something with mister Dunn? And what
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: was the gholst names? Oh, yes, it's a charming idea.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what you do, young man.
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: You investigate me, and if you determine that I am
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: engaged in something criminal, please inform me I should be
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: delighted to know. Now, goodbye, mister Templar, and don't try
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: to follow.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Me, of course not. It's bad manners, mister Bronson, to
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: follow anyone who isn't female.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Mister Templer, I've been waiting for you in the hallway
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: for almost two hours. I was wondering if could ever
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: get home.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: I was out getting my mind off of no good case.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Mister Temple. I'd like to talk to you.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: May I come in.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: I don't think you have anything to say to me. Colra,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: you could have said anything you wanted to before the
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: police took your mother.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Well that's no reason I can't say it now.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Please all right, but I hope it's worthwhile. I'm very sleepy.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Well, I saw mother in jail a few hours ago.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: It was an unpleasant sight.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Well it should have been. Jail's aren't designed to give kicks.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Mother doesn't belong to mister Templer.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: I know she didn't kill Patricia Dum. She just said
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: she did.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: You protect me.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: She's convinced I killed Patricia and she feels responsible because
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: of the way she brought me up.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: I admit there's wisdom there. So were you going to
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: let her give herself up.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: I suppose so it was an awful thing to do it. Well,
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: I know I can't why I told you I saw
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: her in jail.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: No, you don't have to worry about that, Cora. The
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: police will soon find out they haven't got a case
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: against him. She'll be released. Of course, they'll look for
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: someone else to take her place. Have you got a
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: better suggestion?
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: That's just it, mister Templer.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: No matter what you and mother think, I didn't kill
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: Patricia Dumb.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: And that's the truth, thankly, Cora. I don't know whether
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: to believe you or not. You've you've told so many
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: lies already. You were at Patricia's apartment. I know you were, Yes,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: I was there.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: I heard that, thank you. I was still married to her.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: I knew he couldn't marry me, and I knew something
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: was wrong. Well, I went to see her.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: I was inside her a parble when you left her there.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: The manager let me and I told him I.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Was your sister. Then you saw who killed her?
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: No, the shots came in through the window. I got frightened.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: I may put on a lot, but I do get frightened.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: I ran down the fire, straightening up the alley, and
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: that's when the cab driver saw me.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Feelers took me home and I told mother what.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Happened, and she didn't believe it. She thought you were
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: the one who killed Patricia and made up the story
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: about someone firing through the window.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: She made fear of than me, promised to say neither
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: of us left the house.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: When you came and proved me.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: She caned up the police and contested to save you.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: She said she was old and didn't matter if she
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: went to jail. It was her way of giving me
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: a new stirp, hoping I'd changed my ways?
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Have you one?
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: I just told you the truth.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I wonder you know you remind me of the boy
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: who cried wolf. Uh tell me about Frank his steen
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: to beat the horses? How does it work?
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know. All I know is he's always has
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: the winning ticket. She's a cash dozens of them.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Doesn't he ever cash any of them?
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: Not always me?
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know why?
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: I want to?
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: I g it was fun. I know what about Bronson?
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: He's in on it? Who's he?
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: He's an artist?
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: An artist? He said he was a book dealer.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: Oh he has a bookshop, all right, But he's really
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: an artist. It's fine. The tail work.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: I've seen some of them, leather grant, Yes, grieving a
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: counterfeiter may be, of course, that's it. That's why Done
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: always has the winning ticket. Bronson makes up a wind
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: ticket ahead of time for every horse in the race,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: no matter which horse wins, Done wins. Really fancy idea.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Now tell me one thing more, Cora, How did you
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: know Patricia was in town? How did you know where
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: she was staying?
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: Well? I overheard Lewis and Frank you talk about it.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Frank he was angry, Thank you done? Yes, she was
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: afraid he'd find to find out she was in town.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Where's Frank is staying?
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: You've got a tweet at the Southern six thirteen?
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: All right, oh, Cora, Yes, for yours and your mother's sake.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: I hope you're finally telling the truth. It's open, no
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: waiting twit same, Oh, thank you, m overcoat. On where
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: you're going something? Yeah? Got something, yes, but not where
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: you think you're going to change places with missus Alis.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: That's very funny.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: I know all about the counterpe Frankly you and I
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: know Cora was used to front for you. You with
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: your reputation, couldn't be catching so many win tickets, somebody
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: would begin to wonder, but Corra was relatively safe. I
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: have a that isn't an important thing, is it? No?
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Patricia's murder is that's right?
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Says, that's the important thing. I get out of my way.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: I got a gun in this overcoat pocket.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I want to have the kid you because I'm saving
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: these bullets for someone else. Oh the one will really.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Killed my Patricia.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: I don't name missus Allison. What do you mean? A
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: kid with too much money? In no sense? Unless feeling
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Cora Allison, which she said she didn't do any She
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: says a lot of things. But I believe her this time.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: She's a changed girl, ruffled. But why and I don't
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: think she killed Patricia. You got an alibi, frank here? Yeah,
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: real good one.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I love it?
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Is that why she was so scared of? She know?
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: I want to write a town till a jab with
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: Bronson was finished?
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: She know if I know? She was in turn out
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: of slapped around and sent her home. I must say,
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: you have a unique way of sharing a fiction.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: It's my way.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: It's very touching. Thank you. But I don't think that
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: an if I would stand up in clark less one will.
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: Both moose and I were in the bar this hotel
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: when Patricia was killed, and a house steak and six
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: other people saw us.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: So I guess you made a mistake.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: I did out of my way, saying.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: I got a date with Cora. You're not going to
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: kill Kaora. Take your hands, I make you're not going
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: to kill her, saying I didn't ask for trouble with you,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: but you're gonna get it. There's your phone down, all right?
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: I will hello, thank you, thank you.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: It's motion. I get a bullet in me?
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: What is it, mose Bronk, handsome, bronsome man. I'll tell
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: you all about myself first handed. I don't think you
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: have to, Bronson. I already know. It's been a merry
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: go round and I got a lot of lead wings.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: But you the gold. Yes, you killed Patricia because she
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: knew the deal you and Frank you were on. She
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: never wanted Franky to be in on it, and you
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: thought she'd dropped the wrong information to the police. So
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: everyone who knows about it has to go.
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: Patricia moose Y, Yes, young man, it seems that it
• 28:18

• 30:40
  Speaker 3: It's the Silver Jubilee on NBC.
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: Be sure to hear three more top mystery shows coming
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: your way today on NBC. Continuing now their screen actor
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: Lloyd Nolan as hard hitting Martin Kine Flava Eye. Then
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: actor Carvin Young comes to the NBC Michaerophone as the Whisperer.
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: And listen tonight for adventure and the kind of Combs
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: A room with mister Mavall. All right here the American
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: form of the air on NBC.
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: This is Andrew J. Graham, author of the web surface
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: series Oh and a Man of His Wife.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: You're listening to the great detectives of Old time Radio.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, a solid episode for The Saint. I
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: think that the show with Tom Conway really did find
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: his pace here. Particularly this episode really strong and a
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: characterization I would have liked to hear more of. It's
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: a shame that this is the final episode that is available,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: by no means the final episode Tom Conway did on
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: The Saint. In fact, there are fourteen more weeks of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: programs running to October twenty first of nineteen fifty one,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: but unfortunately they are among the many lost radio programs,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and it's always difficult as to whether any of these
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: will ever turn up. I give this, I'm slightly more
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: optimistic about these just because NBC was transcribing so many
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: of these series in sending them out, it's such a
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: distribution that there are a greater odds that the programs survived.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: But we'll have to see if any emerge over the years.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Certainly if they do, will return to this series. Hieverback,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: who appears in this episode, is probably best known for
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: being the voice from the loudspeaker in mash Tho. We
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: had a very varied career in radio and intellivision. With that,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: we turned to listener comments and feedback and Debbie rides
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: in with a comment regarding our listener support special, the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: very Last One, Captain Carrey USA. Debbie said, I enjoyed
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: this episode. Charlton Heston was great. Indeed he was, and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: as I said, in my opinion, he really elevated the
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: piece over the original that was seen in motion pictures.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, as I said, that does it for
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: the saint. Next week on Monday, we'll be bringing you
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Michael Shane and next Tuesday, Carstone of the desk Squad.
