1:42
Dead Witnesses, Oh, Nick Cotter, and the Mystery of the Murder Room.
1:55
I want having me lunch of me in an hour. O Pete I
1:57
haven't seen you a dog's age. Oh swow, well, guy across the
2:05
street, they got it. Yes, come on, maybe he's still a
2:06
high on maybe, but he doesn't look so of me in the way.
2:07
He's a couple up. Then I'm afraid you're right, Pete. Here help
2:13
we try to mow in his back. Okay, yeah, well he's dead,
2:16
all right? Hey, Nick? When you look at who he is,
2:20
our old friend, Louis Morelli, the gangster, Well, he'll never
2:23
muscle in on anybody's rackets again. Certainly took care of that. Yeah,
2:27
now they can take his name off the bladder at headquarters. But Nick,
2:29
did you see who was in the front seat of that death cars went by
2:31
us? Yes, Pete, I did. Slug Bar next slug Barn in
2:34
person. Do you realize what this means? We now have something who've been
2:37
trying to get for the past three years. Evidence Again slugger will let us
2:39
put him away. Why every detective on the force and clothing may has been
2:43
trying to get something on that thug ever since he pulled his first job here,
2:46
right, Pete, this should be good news to the whole city.
2:50
But as he dead, yeah, very dead, you know, him,
2:54
No, and there was on him before. But I didn see him shocked
2:57
by someone in that car that went by, and I didn't think it's a
3:00
use that such things can happen in the city. You say you saw him
3:01
shot, Yes, I happened to look up as the car went by,
3:05
and I heard the gun shooting, and I saw him poor. You wouldn't
3:07
be able to identify the man on the front seat of that car, would
3:09
you. I'm sure I would. You would a mean looking individual, and
3:13
that big scar across his cheek was very plain. What this is too good
3:16
to be true? Another witness and look, Fello, would you be willing
3:20
to testify against that guy when we catch him? I certainly would. Such
3:23
men should be full away where they can't get out here. Here's my card.
3:25
Let me know when you won't for me. Okay, thanks William forty
3:30
six Mint Avenue. Oh boy, your boy, I We'll call you all
3:34
right, buddy. We've waited for this for three years. Nick, that's
3:46
the best news I've headed this department in years. If he paked up slug
3:50
yet rally, Oh, but the boys will be in with him any minute
3:52
now and then with three honest goodness, witnesses against him. We'll put him
3:55
in the chair and strap him down tight, and that'll be a happy day
4:00
in my life. I know just how you feel about it, Debsine.
4:02
Yeah, that's got a report that a man was not down and killed by
4:06
a truck over on the East Side about two thirty this afternoon, apparently an
4:11
accident. Allot of the body was pretty badly smashed up. I thought you'd
4:15
like to know. And why did you think I'd like to know? Because
4:18
the guy has been identified as why him Fletcher A forty six Main Avenue Dick.
4:27
That's the fellow who is going to be a witness for us against stug
4:29
bearn So Slugger is up to his old tricks again, you think so too,
4:32
do you? I don't think there's much question about it. Slug finds
4:35
is a witness. A witness can't be intimidated. Witness disappears simple as tune
4:39
too. You'd better look out for a guy named Nick Cotton. Then I've
4:43
been doing that for years, Riley. It's gonna be the first time I've
4:45
come up against mister slug Bear and she Yeah, not for Calmas, whole
4:49
town from nder and cloding up and down in sideways and the rain of a
4:53
sign of slug anyway, what do I mean the right to taining of him?
4:56
There's got to be he ain't left town. He Oh no, thanks,
4:59
so we can't love. I'm with the death car. And nobody knows
5:01
anything apart him either if they don't know about which is nothing new. Hell,
5:05
slug still in town, Pete, and you guys don't bring him in
5:09
in the next twenty four hours. You can turn in your badges. Okay,
5:12
look your bestia good enough. You gotta do better. Your beat it
5:16
Nick. For three years, this slug baron has been head man in the
5:19
city for three years. Me and him has been added tort and nail.
5:24
He's been the head of every big racket we've had while we've rested him twenty
5:27
times and twenty times we'd better let him go because he couldn't prove nothing on
5:30
him. And every time we let him out of here, he laughs in
5:32
my face. Now he kills his vanish and three witnesses see him, daughter
5:38
and I will under testify, and suddenly one witness is killed, and we
5:41
can't find Slug anywhore. No, No, calm down right, your biggest
5:46
job right now is to keep your witnesses alive until you do find See,
5:48
we'll still hang it on him with you and Peter's witnesses, even if he
5:51
did get rid of Fetcher. Now, look, Nick, wouldn't you like
5:55
to get up to slug yourself while you could call it self protection? Nick,
5:58
don't forget your witness It's not too okay, Riley. Since you put
6:01
it that way, I'll do what I can. I get slugged for you.
6:15
But Nick slugged. There is a dangerous killer and you know it certainly.
6:17
I know it, Patty. That's why I'd like to see him put
6:18
wad be in the receiving end of a legal killing. You mean the chair
6:21
I do. And the sooner he gets there, they better have Nicholas Kin's
6:27
office putting the car on Quick's rally, Nick, and is he excited?
6:30
Thanks? Was up rally? Pete has just been pound dead in his own
6:32
garage, killed by the juice from his car. The car says, how
6:35
did it happen? Rathery, His wife says, he got back to the
6:38
house about ten and thirty of the seasons. He drove off in the garage
6:41
and shut the doors. At about a half hour later, she suddenly realized
6:43
that he hasn't come in the house yet, so she went to look and
6:46
pound the body. Do you believe it was an accident, rally hid or
6:48
not? It was slugged in and there's no question about it. He's getting
6:51
rid of the witnesses and you're Nextick, Okay, Riley, I'll get to
6:56
work right away. I owe it to Pete as well as to myself.
6:59
Now, what what your right? Riley? Oh Raley, I'd like to
7:03
donate one hundred dollars to the fund for pete'soodoo. He was my friend so
7:08
long? Did he say that another witness has died? Yes, Petsy Peach
7:14
justin bound in his car in his own garage with a motor running. But
7:17
that could be an accident, Nick, it could, Patsy, but it
7:19
wasn't no more than that truck's killing Fletcher was an accident. That slugs specialty
7:24
being clever. He's dangerous, Nick, to be kissed, old Patsy.
7:27
There's one thing in my favor. I know the slug will never shoot me
7:30
down out in the open. And when he does that with a s fellow
7:31
crooks. Butcher's death looked like an accident. Pete's deaf looked like an accident,
7:35
and if he can get me, that looked like an accident too,
7:38
which makes it easier for me to watch out for him. You mean he'll
7:40
set a murder trap for you, probably Nicholas Carter's offer. I'd like to
7:46
speak to mister Carter. Please you Hello, Nick Carter speaking the car.
7:53
Would you care to drop in on me? Have a little talk? Who
7:57
is this? That's not important now, for the thing is would you care
8:01
to come? Why should I be interested in you? It might be to
8:05
your advantage? In what way? I know something that you'd like to know?
8:11
I have some information that would help you in your search? Oh?
8:16
Where are you? I'm in the Cascade nightclub when you join me? Yes,
8:24
how can I find you? I shall be at the far right hand
8:26
table as you under the main dining room. I should look forward to seeing
8:31
you, and you know, we say about half an hour, okay,
8:35
I'll be there. Nick, you mustn't know this is probably very trap you
8:39
were telling me. Slug with tip for you. It may be Betty,
8:41
although I doubt that he'd use a Cascade nightclub. That's a little too well
8:43
known for him. But Nick, people who have legitimate businesses. Actually,
8:46
I can't afford to overlook any source of information. There are other ways of
8:50
getting information besides sticking your neck out for it. Man boy's interested me,
8:54
Betty, But can I just see what he looks like? Besides, it
8:58
isn't often that I get a chance to go to a night club like the
9:01
Cascade. Maybe I can stick him at the check. Hey, name,
9:16
it's the carter you sent for me. Yes? Would you sit down?
9:20
Thanks? Care for something to drink? No? Thank you? Cigarette?
9:26
No thanks? He was interested in business? Huh, Well, maybe I
9:31
can help you with some information I have to have. Yes with the carter.
9:37
Wouldn't you like to put your hands on slug Barron. I'm afraid I
9:41
don't understand you. I think you do. Let me put it in another
9:46
way. If you live long enough to get your hands on slug barn it
9:48
means the electric chair for him. But I happen to know that your chances
9:52
of living are none too good right now. Either he's left you alone until
9:56
he got rid of the other two witnesses. Now that they're gone, your
10:01
turn is next. How do you know all this? It's not important just
10:05
now. What is important is that you may die tonight, tomorrow or next
10:11
week. But whatever it is you are going to die, you won't have
10:15
a chance to do anything about it. You'll probably be dead before you even
10:18
know what the bullet that kills it feels like, well, all this is
10:22
very interesting. I feel to see where it's leaving you. Mister. The
10:26
name is Morelli. Morelli, Yes, Louis Morelli. The man Slug Barron
10:31
killed was my brother. I came to town to kill Slug myself, but
10:35
I find I can't do it alone. I can't get to him, but
10:39
I can help the fleece to get him. Do you mean you know where
10:43
he's hiding out? No, I don't. I do know something that's as
10:46
good. I happen to know that he changed his hiding place every other day
10:50
to make sure the cops don't trace him. The address of his new hiding
10:54
place is left with one of his henchmen in an old fashioned safe. I
10:58
know the house with us is located. I have know that for two hours
11:01
this evening that house will be deserted. My buddy wants me to do well.
11:07
I've had some experience in breaking into houses and opening locked doors as well
11:11
as locked safe I'll take you to the house. The safe will be open.
11:16
You can learn slot Baron's hiding place, and then they'll can do as
11:20
well as you say it's true. Why don't you get the address and bring
11:24
it to me? The result would be the same. But Carter, I'm
11:26
a safe cracker and a burglar, but I'm not a stool pigeon. I
11:30
may help the cops, but I don't hand them evidence they can perfectly well
11:33
get for themselves. That's a rather i'm distinction, isn't it. Marilla.
11:37
You have your ways of doing things, Carter, and I have mine.
11:41
You want to work with me or not? Very well? Well, I
11:46
meet you and win. Let me see five after ten. Now, I'll
11:50
meet you with five minutes past midnight and a doorway at the corner of Parr
11:54
and Clinton Streets. I'll be there. Just one thing, come alone.
12:00
I can't afford to have anybody know I work with the cops. You'll bring
12:03
anybody with you, the whole thing is off. Remember, don't bring anybody
12:07
with you. Hey, well, Morley, I'll be there five after twelve
12:13
and alone. No, we Ley get a pension, all right? Go
12:26
ahead, Nick? What do you look like? Medium, high black hair,
12:30
blue eyes, a little mustache, weighs about one hundred and thirty five
12:33
pounds. Parts his hair way over on the left side. He's gone back
12:37
of the right hand nose has been broken and fixed up. You know,
12:41
I'm not off hand, Nick, But if he's in the gallery, I'll
12:46
get him for you. Anything else not no rally. It's made me in
12:50
a half hour at Daily's lunch room. Where is Daly's lunch hoon out on
12:54
Palmer Avenue near the city line. But that's three miles from here, right
12:58
Daily, Just far enough, bouncer that nobody in a battles I'll make you
13:01
that half an hour, Okay, Nick, Okay, I did be there.
13:05
I don't know. Sometimes I can't figure that guy caught out of Tarloto.
13:18
I think we can talk. Told to get my way out here in
13:22
the sticks? Did you pick up a picture? And I found him right
13:26
enough? His name is Lucky Warren. He's one of the big Chicago mobsticks,
13:30
one of the smoothst tatoos ever came up of Chicago. So that's why
13:33
he looked by them. He belongs to the p Street game. If I
13:35
remember right right, Nick, what kind of a line did he hand you?
13:39
Oh? Told me he was the brother of Louis Morella. The guys
13:41
lug Barons. He's no more or at least rather than I am. And
13:46
they hear me a song and dance about one of he gets slugged, not
13:48
being able to get near him. And what was his proposition he had?
13:52
One? Of course, of course he offered to open up a safe in
13:54
a secret apartment and lead me to it if I went alone. And what
13:58
did he say was in the safe the address at which we could find Baron
14:01
for the next two days. That's a hot onk What a phony sit up?
14:05
That is? Hi, that's nothing but a murder trap. Mack.
14:07
Why when you walked into that room, you'll be riddled with bullets like a
14:11
skill. Maybe you're right, Maybe I never get any further than the door
14:18
of the room on the other end than chasing Baron for three years now,
14:24
if we should hear him, Conner, Connor, mey, he's set in
14:26
the trap. To Connor, you can't be sure, Ray, it might
14:30
work out, work out, Nick. I fought with you many a time
14:33
in the past, and if the Lord scares me, we'll fight together many
14:35
a time in years to come. But I think too much of you to
14:37
see you walk into a house where you can't live five minutes, five minutes.
14:43
I could only be sure that I could live for five minutes after I
14:46
walked in. And Nick, is there anything the matter with you? Are
14:48
you nut say something? No? Riley, I think not. I think
14:52
I have an idea. It might work and it might not, and you
14:56
might live with you might not, don't you see Rady. That's if I
15:00
don't walk into this trap it is. It doesn't get me one way,
15:01
you'll get me another. My only chance to stay alive is to get him
15:05
first. And this plan of mine will be the answer meets you know,
15:09
you can't tell the time riving. Listen when I tell you my idea,
15:11
because I'm going to need your co operations. I never need it before.
15:13
I heard it all right that time, I see Carter? Yeswer really,
15:31
let's get going. Certainly, the house is not far from here, just
15:35
around the corner. As a matter of fact, I guess come from there.
15:39
The door to the basement is open, and the safe is in one
15:41
of the upstairs rooms. And you think there'll be nobody that for at least
15:45
two hours. For between two and three hours, the house will be deserted,
15:48
and you're going to show me the room and the safe is. I've
15:50
done all I'm going to do. The door is open, the safe is
15:52
open. The rest is up to you. I hope your information is correct.
15:58
I shouldn't like to be caught in this train your house rifling to say,
16:00
that's the least of your worries. That is. Catching slug barn is
16:04
much more important, isn't it? Only? Yes? Yes, of course
16:07
there this is The house was all red brick. Number forty two doesn't look
16:15
very inviting, does it that? M God already it didn't take you long
16:22
to leave. You did it well? Nick, You're on your own now.
16:52
Nothing here in the basement do interest me. I'm glad I thought to
16:56
put new faantories in this flash light tonight. H m hm hm h m.
17:22
Seems to be nobody here in the first floor. Must go all up
17:26
on the second floor when he said the safe is probably won't bother me until
17:30
I get up there, which is just as it should be. Hyah,
17:42
h must be in a living room still furnished. It's been a long time
17:48
since anyone lived here. Ah, this will do well enough for what I
17:53
want. Have a cigarette Nick, Yes, thanks, Yeah, I have
18:02
another cigarette? Nick? Why? Yes, thanks? Don't you have another
18:08
cigarette? Nick? Well? Yes, thanks? I will now. Uh,
18:19
sounds just if they getting nervous upstairs. Don't worry for him. Don't
18:32
you said you told him as safe was up here? Right? Did?
18:36
What the dece is he doing down there? I know? I still think
18:38
you should have brought some of the boys to help you. Somebody afraid of
18:41
him. He'll push over and all that you guys are quiet? Here he
18:45
comes now. Yeah, these are the creakiest stairs I ever heard. Kay
18:59
h Yeah, here's the room. You can see the safe. This is
19:10
some room no windows in it. Look at this door, solid steel,
19:14
thought like an ice box. It's are heavy and still no one here to
19:18
meet me. At least I can look into the safe while I wait.
19:22
Yeah, doors opened a crack, just as advertised. Why so that's it
19:33
very interesting? Well, advance to say other thing. I'll leave the examination
19:37
of the safety later. Jam ups comfortable, I'll wait for my host there
19:45
with my gun in hand, just in the case. Let's see, it's
19:53
been just four minutes since I came up from downstairs. I can hold out
19:57
here another two minutes at least before they No, so you've come to welcome
20:04
here last, have you? Well, Nick Carter, it's been some little
20:08
time since we saw each other. Swarmly, it's hardly my false, lug.
20:14
I've done my best to find you any number of times in the past
20:15
year or more. Log let me take a shurees. Yes, of course
20:19
you're here too. Have you managed to avenge your brother yet, mister Lucky
20:23
Warren Lucky, come in and close the door. Don't forget you're only a
20:30
guest at this party. Look, slug, let's get this over with falling
20:33
around with Nick Carter's dynamite. I don't really see why you should be on
20:36
that way, Lucky. Nobody knows where I am, so nobody's going to
20:38
interfere with you. You ain't telling us nothing, Carter. We made sure
20:44
of that ourselves. We had two men shadow you from the nightclub to the
20:47
lunch room where you talk to Lieutenant Riley. We had two men shadow Riley
20:51
back to headquarters, and two more follow you when you came here to meet
20:56
Lucky. No Cotta, We're sure there ain't no following you this time.
21:00
You've been to a great deal of trouble. Slug. It seems to me
21:03
just to get me to walk into a death tramp that was corny and as
21:06
obvious as this one. Well, now that I'm here, what's going to
21:10
happen? Carter? I've been waiting three years to take care of you,
21:14
and I'm going to see that. You can see that you've cut the current
21:17
off from the safe. If I hadn't heard the hum of the transformer a
21:19
few minutes ago, I should probably have touched it and been knocked unconscious.
21:25
Or is that what you wanted? You'd touched that safe, you would have
21:27
been dead. Oh, that's what happened to that headquarter has got the phone
21:32
on the third rail of the elevated last winter. I thought I didn't look
21:36
right at the time. You got him to touch this safe and then electricated
21:38
him. Then you dumped him in the third rail where they found him.
21:41
Very clever slug learning that a little late. Ain't Chakuta. Too bad it
21:45
didn't work with me. Now you've got to find some other way to get
21:48
rid of me, some less clever way. Are we going to stand around
21:52
here all night, you and the rag or are we going to take care
21:55
of this guy and ike it easy? Lucky that we're all here again.
22:00
There ain't no hurry, Carter ain't going nowhere. And with the door closed
22:04
the way it is, this room is sound proof, isn't it? Lovely?
22:07
Room for a murder? And it probably won't be the first time it's
22:11
been used for that either. Let me take him, slug. My finger
22:15
is getting anxious. All right, Lucky, but make it good. I'll
22:19
make it good. All right, Sure, Lucky, he'll make it good.
22:23
If he doesn't, you're saying that's the idea, Slug, and he's
22:33
going to say that. But now, yeah, so your thin you say,
22:36
as long as you don't have the fun of you, you can't.
22:40
You can't, Lesly, it's been too long to get this car, so
22:44
long, Lucky? Well look you yes, you kill him and miss mee
22:56
what now? Lucky's buddy's pretty heavy for you now that he's dead. Not
23:00
too heavy his lug. He's better protection than nothing. But you got no
23:03
gun? So how are you psychle Lass? I have no gun, but
23:07
I do have a weapon. Do you ever think of that? Yeah,
23:08
it's Lucky his body right now. Put the cuffs on that mugg and got
23:30
him with your lives. Take him down to the wagon. Thanks, really,
23:34
come about all in gome to way? Feel so weak? Are you
23:40
a bad nick? No? No, just a scratch on the head.
23:44
It's nothing, Oh nothing, is it? Sure it's bleeding enough for too?
23:48
Man? Hey, get the duck up here on the double. Okay,
23:51
sir? How about that hole in your shoulder, Nicky? I suppose
23:52
that's nothing too. He almost did for me, Rally. I was afraid
23:57
I wouldn't be able to hold him. Oh yeah, hold him? Did
24:00
you say? Sure? Nickk had done noble? Nobody could have done better,
24:06
even half as good. I'm proud of you. I brought this old
24:21
hurry up wagon because I thought we might need to use this as an ambulance
24:23
or as a hearse. Are you feeling better? Nick? Oh? Yes,
24:26
yes, Raley, thanks very much better. Sure Nikiss killed me out
24:30
at ten years growth this night? You got your killer, didn't you.
24:33
I'm sure I got him after he almost got you. Oh what a fool
24:37
you were to walk into a trap by technick. Perhaps you're right, browling.
24:41
Somebody had to get slugged. I hope i'd be able to take care
24:44
of myself once I got in the trap, And as it turned out,
24:45
I was getting uite a week from loss of blood. I'm done glad that
24:48
you didn't arrive any later than you did. Yeah, a lucky guy,
24:52
Kara. When I killed you, those guys hadn't a part of him.
24:55
Well you didn't, So that's that. That's that, he says, Just
24:59
like as what my head block, Trotter. These guys didn't follow you up
25:03
to this house. I know that. Why did they know where you was?
25:07
Curious? Run or I'll tell you. When I was talking to Rider
25:11
last evening, some fire engines went by and they gave me an idea.
25:14
We knew that this house of yours had to be in this district somewhere,
25:17
and I knew they're around here. Everybody so afraid of fire that'd report even
25:19
a suspicion of one. So I had Rilly away to the fire jeep at
25:23
the nearest fire station for the alarm. When they got the alarm, they
25:26
knew where I was, and they came a running. When they got what
25:30
alarm? The alarm one of your neighbors sent in when he saw the fire.
25:33
What fire? I don't know about no fire. There was a good
25:36
fire slug while it lasted, but the boys from the firehouse put it out
25:38
as soon as they got there. Where was this fire, whales slug?
25:42
It was like this. When I stopped in the living room in the first
25:45
floor of your house tonight, I lighted three cigarettes. I put a pack
25:48
of matches under the curtains in each of the two windows, and laid a
25:52
cigarette across each packup matches so they would burn for a couple of minutes before
25:55
it set off the matches. Then I did the same with a third cigarette
25:57
of the third pack of matches, putting them on some dry stuff I piled
26:00
up under the desk, and when the matches went off, they set fire
26:03
to the curtains and the others tough and started a nice little conflagration, And
26:07
within two minutes somebody famed in an alarum, just as we figured they would.
26:12
That is a grands key, and Nick Hell touted up all by himself.
26:15
Look, mister brains, why did you just set fire to the house
26:19
and not bothered with all that trick stuff with the cigarettes and matches. Oh
26:22
down, that stuck you and your pals would have smelled the small competed before
26:26
we could stop you. But I figured that by having the power start after
26:30
you and I got together, you'd be too busy to notice it until it
26:33
was too late. Of course, I wasn't there till it was all over,
26:36
but judging by the results, that's exactly what happened. It's so bad
26:41
the house didn't burnt down with You'll win at Kata. That was one of
26:44
the chances I had to take. But it was worth anything to get you
26:48
out of circulation. We would be just as soon as we can get the
26:51
electric chair dusted off for you slugged me by exactly Another trap you set for
26:56
me turned out to be a death trap for you. Certainly poeticsscus. This
27:15
has been another of the strange adventures of Nick Carter, Master Detective, which
27:19
are brought to you regularly at the same time by wo Mutual. How about
27:23
a little preview of next week's story, Nick, or next week, I
27:26
want to tell you about an adventure that we had and with Scubby was much
27:30
more concerned than highways. And that isn't quite true, mister Scott. What
27:33
it really means is that while he was doing the detective work it finally solved
27:37
the case. Scubby was having a real adventure. You mean that in this
27:40
case, the solution and the excitement were two different things. Well, yes,
27:44
yes, we were up against the hijacking gang that stopped at nothing.
27:48
Scuby set out to help me by getting some information from the inside, but
27:51
all he succeeded in doing was to get himself in a real man's nice jam
27:55
with Nick getting him out of that course of course. Well, if it's
27:57
exciting, I'll be around listening, planted plenty exciting, I promise you so
28:02
until next week, So long, so long, so long? Do you
28:04
both in the strange adventure you have just heard? Nick Carter was impersonated by
28:10
ln Clark, Patsy by Helen Shot, Lieutenant Riley by Humphrey Davis. Original
28:15
music was played by Lou White. The entire production was written and directed by
28:18
Jack McGregor. Next week, at the same time, listen to another curious
28:41
experience of Nick Carter entitled Death in the Pines or Nick Carter and the Mystery
28:48
of the Murdered Driver. This story is a copyrighted feature of streetent Smith Publications
28:59
and Corporate. The Return of Nick Carter is produced in the studios of WOI
29:03
and is broadcast over most of these stations every Saturday evening at seven o'clock.
29:07
Eastern Wartime, and don't forget that the adventures of Nick's adopted son, Chick
29:12
Cuter, are broadcast over most of these stations Mondays through Fridays at five thirty
29:18
pm Eastern Wartime. This is mutual welcome back, no wonder they created a
29:27
series of spine novels based on this guy. I continue to be impressed by
29:33
all of the nervy, death defying things that Nick Carter does in nearly every
29:40
episode of this show. And I'm also I enjoyed the series. And I'm
29:44
not the only one. Terror comments in I'm sorry to hear such bad reviews
29:48
for Nick Carter, Terror writes over on Facebook. Nick Carter may not be
29:52
one of my favorites, like Box thirteen, year a Wolf, The Abbots,
29:56
The Thin Man, Candy Manson, Let George Do, and of course
30:00
Sherlock Holmes, I still enjoy the flavor of it. I think the only
30:03
one I didn't really love I can't remember the name of it, but it
30:07
was the one where the guy played the jazz band. That one was a
30:10
little depressing for me personally. That was Pete Kelly's Blues. But she goes
30:15
on to say thanks to this podcast, I've discovered so many programs I never
30:19
knew I would love. It's okay if I don't love them all. I
30:23
also wanted to remind you, in your preparation for The Saint to read some
30:26
of the books by Leslie Charteris. I stumbled upon those several years ago without
30:33
knowing what they were in love them. I haven't seen a movie that could
30:36
measure up to the fun of those stories along with their early vision of the
30:40
that's what she said jokes. Thanks for everything, and I'm looking forward to
30:44
many more years of great detectives. Well, thanks so much for the tip,
30:47
Tarra, and I do have a plan to check out the library's copy.
30:53
They've got a couple of Charters books at the Boise Public Library, and
31:02
we'll have to see how that one measures up. I know that when I
31:07
was preparing for the Mister Malone series, I read my library's copy of one
31:14
of the later Malone books and didn't enjoy it and actually put through an interlibrary
31:18
loan request. But I'll definitely be checking out what my library has and maybe
31:23
looking for some others. I was actually planning on doing Michael Shane before The
31:29
Saint, but then a ton of more Michael Shane episodes came up and would
31:34
have messed up something I had coinciding with the Saint. So I've got general
31:41
Michael Shane books to read through. But I definitely need to check out some
31:44
of the Saint books, and I'm encouraged that there sound fun. They're not
31:49
always though usually they are fun to read the books that these radio detectives come
31:56
from. To my mind, the Mister Malone books were not particularly pleasant to
32:00
read, though I loved Leonidas Wherall, and I'm enjoying the Michael shamebooks.
32:07
So all right, Well, that will do it for today. We'll be
32:12
back tomorrow with the final part of the Tears of Night Matter, and join
32:19
us back here next Thursday for another episode of Nick Carter from Boise, Idaho.
32:23
This is your host, Adam Graham signing off.
