  Speaker 3: until someone arrives from homicide. Homicide, Yes, mister Browdon, I
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: called Sergeant Mathieson. This was no accident. It was murder, folks.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: This is Sergent Matheson of homicide, mister Broughton, the owner
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: of the park. Maddie, Oh, miss Broughton, I'll do you do?
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Sargant Slim Watson who operates the roller coaster. Hi, Lilian Latour,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: an animal trainer and the show next door, Miss Latruur
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: please to make your acquaintance, and Woody Reeves, who operates
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: the show in which Miss Latour appears, a hello reet.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: First of all, Maddy, I'll tell you what I know.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Patsy and I were in the same string of cars
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: as the dead man when he was thrown off the
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: roller coaster. George Haley, a friend of my father's.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: Were you together when it happened?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: No, we were trying to find George. He was following
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: a man who came out to the park on a
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: bus about eight o'clock, someone George had known when he
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: was a guard at Bayside State Penitentiary.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: How do you know that, Well George found to ask
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Nick for help and finding out about the man. Well
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: George knew was that he was probably a park employee.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: See, Patsy and I were supposed to meet him in
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: front of the roller coaster, so we killed time by
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: taking a few rides. Uh huh.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: And then I looked back and saw George in the
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: car behind us.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: The man must have been standing up, Sergeant. I tell you,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: we saw mister Broughton and he wasn't standing up. Okay,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Nick but what makes you think it was murder? Well, Maddy,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the body was badly smashed up, but not the back
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: of the head. And I found blood there well, naturally
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: after such a fall as that. It was dried blood,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: mister Broughton, from a blow that had been struck sometime
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: before he fell out of the roller coaster.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: And I wait a minute, Nick, the guy might have
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: had some and you didn't.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Know about no matter that was the blow that killed him.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Otherwise they would have raised the lump the sides of
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: a hen's egg. And there was no swelling at all.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about? A medical fact, mister Browdon.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Swelling does not take place after debt ride. And he
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: must have been riding around and that thing dead ever
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: since he was slugged on how he was in sach
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I collect tickets for every ride, and I'm sure I
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: certainly wouldn't miss seeing a dead guy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: And how in sam Hill.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Did he get in there?
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I have an idea, Sergeant. Yeah, at the beginning of
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: the ride there's a dark tunnel. If the murderer had
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: been hiding.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: In there with the body, Oh that's impossible.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's only three inches clearance on each side of
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: that tunnel. One man couldn't possibly hide there, let alone
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: two of them.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, then somebody must have dumped him in there
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: from someplace.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Else along the route. Whenever he aint to that tracked
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: me up bright his days. You need plenty of ee.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Does matter From the time the car leaves the top
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: of the first incline, it's going to break next beat.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Uh well, let's forget about how he got in the
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: car for a minute and trying to find the guy
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: he was asked.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: I'll bet he what is Joe Lester?
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: You recognize the name? H'm mister Browden. Why no, No,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: There's never been any park employee named Joe Leicester.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: I'll swear to that, Joe Leicester. I've heard that name before.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Can you get through with little and me as quick
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: as possible? The gorilla mine has been over there for
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: almost an hour without any water in his case, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: you better stay here, Woody. Somebody else can take care
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: of bungo.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Mister Brown, you know there ain't nobody, But what do
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: you make and get near him? Anybody else? Try to
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: walk into that cake care?
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Look, Nick, how about it? You need these folks any longer?
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I just want to ask them one question. We've found
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: a tickets up from your show and Haley's pocket. Woody,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: he must have followed Leicester in there. Did you happen
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: to notice anybody come in just before Haley? I didn't
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: even notice him miss the tour.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: No, no, I didn't see the guy either.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Joe Lester by Gully, I've got it.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: You know him many.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: I don't know him, but I remember who he is.

  Speaker 2: the murdered girl. We'll see what happens in just a moment.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Now back to the.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Case of the Midway murders. Today's adventure with Nick Carter
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: brought to you by new post war old Dutch cleanser.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: In the office of John Browden, the park manager, Nick
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: and Matty have been investigating the death of Lillian Latour.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I found it, Matty. Thanks to the noise of the
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: rides in the shooting gallery nearby. We haven't found anyone
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: who even heard the shot. I still can't believe it
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: really happened. Lill and me. We was going to be married,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: all right. Take it easy, Woodie, we'll get this Joe Lester,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: don't worry, and when we do, you always come back
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: to Joe lest You said yourself the man was dead, No,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: mister Browdon. Sergeant Mathieson said he was reported there. But
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I have a hunch we'll find him very much alive.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: You said it, Nick, This Latour knew who he was,
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: that's why he killed her.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: But she couldn't have known. She'd have said something to
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: me if she did. Why me and mister Browden was
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: talking to her not five minutes before before it happened. Wow,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: that's very interesting because mister Tour's last words were that
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: she had just learned who Joe Lester was. Well that
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: then she must have found it out after she left us,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: because there was no mention of him while we were talking.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Was the Woodie was there, Woodie? Oh no, no, mister Browton,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: she never even mentioned his name. Hey, but I I
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: want to talk to you. I'm busy now, Woody, and
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: that's what I want to talk to you about. You
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: ain't going to be so busy from now on? What
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: do you mean? From now on? I'll be doing half
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: the work because you're gonna give me a half effriest
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: in this whole park. Now, look, Woody, you've been bleeding
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: me for three years. This is too much. I'm letting off.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: What do you think the cops would say if I
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: told him that? George Haley come up to me just
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: after you left this afternoon and asked me if you
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: wasn't Joel Lester, that's a lie, that's the truth, Little
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: god Wise. I had to kill her too, I didn't.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: It's a lie. I put on an ice ec for
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: the cops, didn't they the pool? Broken hearted boyfriend? That's me?
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: And now you're gonna pay for that act with half
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: of this park.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: I won't do it.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: You've bled me for the last time. I tore up alarm.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I thought you might pull something like that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: I'll just turn this over to the cops too, I would.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: He was not interested. I want to know is do
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: I get half of the park or do I turn
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: the cops that you're Joe Lester. Okay, you win, Woody.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I let the papers drawn up tomorrow morning. Hey Gordy,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: you got the whole roller coasts these, so thanks lym.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Now I want you to run this car slowly as
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: possible to the tunnel and when I yell stop it okay, okay,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: But I still don't get the idea. I ain't room
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: for anybody to die in that tunnel. That's the same
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: I want to see for myself. So let's get started.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Huh Okay, here you go.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: You put the audience. Do you think Gwinn's lying?
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know Paptin, but think Hailey's body couldn't have
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: been put in the roller coaster from outside. I can't
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: see where I else it could have been done.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: But in the tunnel.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Here it is floor slimmer. You have the flashlight.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: Here.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: But I'll bet while we're pulling around here, Sergeant Madison
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: has already.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Caught you'll let year it could be the description and
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: fingerprint classifications got here from the baseline pen and Mattie
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: said he was going to round up every park employee.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Is he whether any of them resemble the description in
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: any way?
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: See Nick, it's Justice Swim said, this tunnel is much
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: too now for anyone to hide, and especially if he
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: were carrying a dead body.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Patsy, uh huh. The walls of this tunnel are boards. Well,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: look at the two boards blight beside us where I'm
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: holding the flashlights.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: But why they look as if they'd been taken out
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: and put back again.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: They're going to be taken out a second time. Give
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: me the crow bar?
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah here.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Having face? What's sounds like the gorilla? What is compession?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Is next door? Yeah?
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: Well, you didn't accomplis much by taking those boards off.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Look what's on the other side, iron bars?
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that does upset my theory.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: Nick, we must be right up against the gorilla's cage.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Let me put these boards out.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: He is on the other side of the cake.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Don't worry. Patsy's Chamesy must be an exercise cage, too
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: big for anything else.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Well, Haley's body couldn't have come through there.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: The bars are too close together.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Unless look, Patsy, this bars will Nick?
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Nick put that ball out?
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: The gorilla trained twenty feet away from I'm going in
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: the case, maybe a better stay out here.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: And that's exactly what I think. But I'm going with
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: you just.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: The same, all right. Come on then, Hello, that's the
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: person I wanted to see. I'm inside the cage and
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I'll show you.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: I wish he wouldn't do that.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll stay there now. Yeah, I found out you
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: got George Haley body into that roller coaster car. How
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: uh You're wrong, Cornor I didn't kill him? Oh yes
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: you did, Woody, when he came into your show, you
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: learned him backstage and killed him with the blow on
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: the head. And when the roller coaster went through the
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: dark tunnel, you turned out the lights in here and
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: dumped the body into one of the cars at the
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: same opening we just came through. Maybe that's the way
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: it happened. But it wasn't me that done it. It
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: was problem He Joe Lester, how do you know? Him?
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: And me? Was at Fayside Pen at the same time.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Browdon got away on that break and everybody thought he'd
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: been killed. He came here, got his hands on some
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: money and started this park go on. Well, Hayley spotted
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: in the day. He asked me about him, and Browden
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: brought him back here to talk it over. That must
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: have been when he done it. How about Miss Latour,
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: lil See and Haley come in. She thought it was
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: me he was after, and when I proved that I
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: couldn't have been Lester, she knew Brodon was. And when
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: he learned that, she knew he had to kill her too. Ah, Bongo,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: shut up, Woody.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: If you're a lying it won't do you any good.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Joless description and fingerprints was sent here from Dayside Penitentiary.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: O case, I'll let him take me and Browden down
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: a headquarters. MN fingerprints will prove he's the guy. One
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: thing more, Woody, why haven't you said this before? Even
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: after you thought Browden killed your girlfriend, you kept quiet.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that he's done it, did I? And besides,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: keeping quiet is paid off pretty good for me. I
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: mean you've been blackmailing Broughton. Yeah, I've been shaking him
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: down for plenty, But I sure ain't gonna go to
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: the chair for him. No, you're not. You're going to
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: the chair for your own crimes, not his. Huh. You've
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: just supplied the one thing that was lacking, Woody. I'mmorial.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: You killed Hailey and Miss the tour because of either
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: of them had exposed Browden, but put an end to
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: your little blackmail record. Ah, that's crazy. You can't prove
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: nothing like that. I think I can. Mister Tours said
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: that no one could go near Bungo but you and her.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Oh I thought gotta do with it. The killer had
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: to bring Haley's body through this case, but Bongo was
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: chained up where he could reach the door, and anybody
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: who came through it, you ought to drive him away,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: yourself a minute to go to get in here. It's
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: a sense that mister Tour didn't kill Haley and the
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: murder herself, so that leaves only you, Okay, smart guy.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: So you think Bango would have torn anybody apart that
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: came here here except me and litt Well, I'm gonna
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: show it at You're right, the gorilla come behind me.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Whe Even as Nick frantically pulls the trigger, he knows
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: that revolver bullets can never stop the five hundred pound
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: gorilla charging furiously toward him and Patsy. We'll see what
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: happens in just a moment. Now for the conclusion of
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: the case of the Midway murders. Today's Adventure with Nick
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Carter brought to you by new post war old Dutch cleanser.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: In the gorilla's cage the idle our amusement park.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Nick and Patsy realize that revolver bullets may slow up
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: the attacking monster.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Never stop it, cat do that whole cage for the bars.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: They hurried.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Guerrillas who pigs the squeeze through that hole. I still
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: have a couple of bullets left. You take another step,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna shoot and tell him I've got this the
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: what he reeves where he'll be for some time to
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: come behind bar Sergeant. Yeah, I'm really glad it's over.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Ever since I escaped from the penitentiary, I've been living
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: in fear playing blackmail.
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it must have been pretty rugged, Browden, Maybe i'd
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: better call you.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Listen. After I finished my sentence, I can really be free.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: You've been a pretty good citizen in these past twelve years, Broaden.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: I think the pardon board may take that into consideration.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Especially since it was your first offense.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Whether they do or not, I'm glad I concleared George Haley.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: If haven't had anything to do with the break, Believe me,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: he didn't know a thing about it. I never thought
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: he did. But mister Carter, why did you believe I
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: was innocent of killing George after you found out that
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I was Joe Lester. Why when I first mentioned that
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: George was on Lester's trail, Surprise and shock was written
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: all over your face. But that's what I mean. I
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: must have looked guilty. You did, and I figured you
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: either were Lester or knew something about him. But if
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: you had killed Haley for that reason, you wouldn't have
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: been surprised.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, there's also one thing that's bothering me.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: N Negg, What Betsy?
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: How could Wood he have been so sure Haley's body
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: would be thrown out of the roller coaster, so that
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: his death would look like an accident.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: What he didn't plan it that way. His only idea
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: was to get rid of the body.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: Oh, by the way, mister Browdon, you'll be glad to
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: hear that the vet saysure Gorilla isn't seriously wounded.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: That's good. I only fired at his legs hoping to
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: stop him. I didn't want to kill him.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but there won't be any more beauty in the
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: Beast Show without miss Laturu here in the cage with you.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. Maybe Patsy'd liked the job. Well,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: you've already made one appearance.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: In this case, I've made two appearances, Nick, my first
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: and my last.
• 26:06

  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well as always an exciting conclusion to the

  Speaker 1: Nick Carter case, he always has the most amazing conclusions.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: There are a few radio detectives for whom facing and
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Raging Guerrilla is just all in a week's work. I
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: should also mention the titles of those four lost episodes,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: which is the Case of the Frightened Fingers, the Case
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: of the Doctor's Last Call, and the Case of the

  Speaker 1: Blackbird's Map, as well as the Case of the Deadly Passer. Well,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: now we will turn to listener comments and feedback, and
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: we have a comment from Joel regarding our last video
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: theater episode featuring Ellery Queen. Joel said, I listened to
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: this one. It works as a radio play just as
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: well in my opinion. Good story. They'll kind of transparent ending.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Thanks Joel for the comment. A lot of the early
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: television shows were either written by people who had written
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: for radio, or somewhere directly adapted from radio plays. Several
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: years back, we played an episode called I'm the Law,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: the Cowboy and the blind Man's Story, which was adapted
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: very erectly from an episode of the radio show Let
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: George Do It. That is true. There are some TV shows,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: particularly when everything wasn't so visually dependent, that you can
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: close your eyes and listen to them just as well.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Sometimes your imagination can even beat their effects budget. If
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: that's part of the show. All right, Well, that will
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: your Shuley Johnny Dollar. Next Thursday another episode of Nick
• 29:31
