names are darned as you Post war old Dutch clunter brings you one of the

most responsible and daring characters in all the text of fictions, Nick Carter,
2:38
that's good attection. You took a ten thousand dollars seen from the crime and
2:50
then appusion of murders. That's right, Packy, but I don't understand how
2:54
could you have committed the murder. I don't know, but I'm going to
2:58
find out. But it was with us when it happened. Yes, I
3:00
know you and I Patsy are his alibi, and yet I'm positive he killed
3:06
William Lesher and all the case of the perfect alibi. Today's adventure, starring
3:15
long Clock as Nick Cutter, brought you by a new post war all that
3:21
splendor. It is almost eight o'clock in the evening and Nick Cutter and his
3:25
assistant Patty Bond are bound for the Filter. It's one of those rare evenings
3:30
when Nick is not working and Patty is happy enough to think, Oh Nick,
3:34
first the statid and supper and dancing. Oh, we won't get home
3:38
until more. Taking an evening after see is not happy? Oh I am
3:44
happiness. It'll just be yes tonight. No Polincoln, no crooks nowhere,
3:50
pity dust, Oh time, I must be drunk crazy. I'm I entered.
4:00
I'll tell him a thing or two. Are you in there? You're
4:02
hurt? So no, I'm okay. I got off a look at you.
4:06
It was my fault entirely. I'll be glad to pay all the damage.
4:11
What's wrong with you? Funny of light on the street. You might
4:13
have seen a Tommy I know, I said, it is my fault.
4:16
Here, there's my license to my registration. I'll call my attorney in the
4:20
morning and he'll get in touch with you. Paul Sanders, Yeah, you
4:26
must have just started out. The radio of your car isn't even warm.
4:30
I was traveling slowly. I was just driving. Your eyes shut well.
4:34
My name is Nick Carter. You'll need that in your accident report. Your
4:39
Nick Carter really certainly is realized, Miter Cotton. I need your help desperately.
4:46
Fourth what fits Conter. A man is going to be murdered tonight,
4:47
and I'm the man with the strongest motive in the world for killing him.
4:51
You have the strongest move Yes I can, mister Cortt. You may be
4:57
the means of saving my life and the life of William as well. William
5:00
Lasher. Yeah, it's not the man who used to be this atturny.
5:02
That's right. He represents certain clients who are after my scalp. Naturally,
5:08
that makes him my enemy too. So what I phoned him just a little
5:11
while ago. I argued and pleaded with him, but it was no use.
5:15
He can ruin me and he's going to do it. It's he lived.
5:18
It don't make senseies. Well, while I was talking to him on
5:21
the phone, he received a letter by messenger. He read it to me
5:25
and accused me of sending it. It said that Glasher is going to be
5:29
killed tonight. Isn't it less of that da or was so tough? Or
5:32
is huge that his name? Also? Reelect? Yes, that's not too
5:35
many told, I must have a reliable person who'll swear that I couldn't have
5:40
killed Lasher? Will you take the jobless to caucus? And oh, mister
5:44
Sanders, and I think maybe I will. I'll pay you anyth us anything
5:47
that they will be ten thousand dollars to ten thousand dollars. Well that's pretty
5:54
steep, but okay, I'll pay it all right. The first thing to
5:58
do is the sabers, the fact that last there's alive right this minute,
6:00
both of you as my car, mister Sanders, mind will run yours?
6:03
Doesn't look as if it would very well, I don't like this. Why
6:09
do you think I accepted this? Well, I'll come on, mister Sanders,
6:12
let's look into this murder. You say it's going to happen for your
6:26
sake, mister Sanders. I hope mister Lasher is alive, and I hope
6:29
so too. Who's the way to test the man? I think someone's comingness,
6:33
Yes, i'd like to see met the lash. I'm Nick Carter.
6:36
You're Nick Carter, the detective. Yes, Fanta, well gee, I'm
6:41
sorry, but he left strict orders that he wasn't to be disturbed under any
6:44
circumstances. Part of his orders. I want to see him while he's all
6:46
right. I have reason to believe it might be murdered tonight, murdered.
6:49
Well, all right, I'll knock on the study door. He gets off
6:54
the flow and I disobey him, but I'll try it. Who he means?
7:00
Joey Wilson's nice boy? Nice is his guardian? Oh, mister Lasher,
7:05
mister Lasher away, I tell you I don't about to be a staff
7:10
you see. Yeah, let me rhyme. The Lash year is Carter.
7:14
I want to talk to you. I go away. I have seen no
7:16
one tonight. I'm afraid you're going to see me because I want to see
7:19
you. I'll get out there. What happened to me? Well, book
7:27
at me? Fortunately his name was bad. Then he's still alive. Yes,
7:31
Sanders. Luckily for you, he's very much alive. Oh, Joey,
7:34
do you know mister Sanders here? Why? Yes, he comes to
7:38
see mister Lasher sometimes. When was the last time he came to the house.
7:41
Oh, let me see. He hasn't been here in a long time,
7:44
at least for two months. Yes, yes, at least I see
7:47
well now eight thirty two. Remember that all of you last year is alive.
7:53
Now, what's more Sanders, Yes, mister, we're going to take
7:57
further precautions to see that he stays alive. At least it's ours you're concerns.
8:01
Come on, Carter, what's the idea of bringing in here the police
8:16
headquarters? Because I want to look in on my friends side at Madison.
8:18
They probably go back to life re place. Well least the last two hours
8:24
to fashed quickly seeing your offices in laborators. Quite an experienced Carter. At
8:28
least if there's one way of killing time. While we were establishing your alibi,
8:33
the officer, Hi am Ada, Oh, hi nick At this is
8:39
mister standards side of Madison. Hi, send you anyfurther words from Lessenix,
8:45
No matter. I called Joey a half hour ago, he reported, last
8:46
of its still very much alive. God. I sent four men up there,
8:50
as you suggested, just to cover the house and start keep a watch
8:54
over the last bank. Matic. I also did some checking down here.
9:00
Next, lash Year was about the cuplis duet we've ever had. Yeah,
9:03
so I recall one of the boys he put away and one who hated Lasher
9:07
like poisons, got out of Prudon yesterday. Wow, that's interesting. Who
9:13
is he? Pete? Arnold? Lasher got him sent up for fifteen years
9:18
for armed robbery, And the day he was sentence, Arnold swore he'd get
9:22
Lasher for sending him up. I think I remember him. Wasn't he a
9:24
big powerful fellow? Yeah? Me, and dangerous too, you know,
9:30
Nick, I think we ought to go see Lasher again, whether he likes
9:33
it or not. I think you got something there, Maddy. Let's go.
9:37
Come on, standers, all right? Where you go I go for
9:41
tonight. At least he got your Manuel hidden, Matty didn't see one anywhere
9:56
here, all right? Next, don't worry about that. Hello, Oh
10:00
it's you again, mister Cotton. Yes, joy, And this time we're
10:03
going to talk to mister Lasher. Orders or no orders, it's at your
10:05
own and the last year I'm coming in. I want to pay. Oh
10:16
no, he can't be he's dead. All right, Well, everyone say
10:20
right where you are, don't touch a thing, and let me see.
10:24
There's no bloodness, no, no sign of a trouble. Here's that terrible
10:31
expression on his face. May that means just one thing? That the lash?
10:35
Ya? What's poison? Next? Someone with her with him? Look
10:37
at that bottle of macroom. There's two glasses here on the desk, and
10:41
the glass beside Lasher's hand is empty. But the other one I'll call a
10:45
medical examiner, a homicide boy. You four go back in the living room.
10:48
I don't want anything to sturgeon here, intentionally or otherwise. Hey,
11:03
next, a little while ago, two of the men I got outside because
11:07
someone turning to the window of the study where we found like his body.
11:09
They catch him, No, they lost him in the darkness. They said,
11:13
he resembles Pete Arnold in side. So the windows being dusted for the
11:16
prince, and so the bottle and gress, all the glasses are hobnailed.
11:20
Maddie there who rough to take an impression? Yeah, I'm afraid you're right.
11:24
Well, I'm going back in the study neck you carry your okay,
11:28
Maddie Joey. Why did mister Lasher insist upon being alone tonight? I don't
11:33
know. All I know is that every once in a while he clear everybody
11:35
out of the house except me, and my job was to see that nobody
11:39
disturbed him. When was the last time that happened? So I'm not sure,
11:43
but a year ago I get Oh, yes, yes, there were
11:46
prints on the windows. That's Pete Arnold, that's the medical examiner says he
11:52
thinks it's poison just in the glass that Lasher drank from. Now, oh,
11:56
in both glasses. The murderer must have clipped the poison into the bottle
11:58
before it was forward. Well, one thing is sure, Sanders didn't tell
12:03
him. He was with us all the time. Thank Him's Bourne for those
12:07
kind words. Well, I'll get back the headquarters and take something bright down
12:11
there. Okay, Maddie, you'll follow me. Just a film of the
12:13
poisons identified. You better well, miss none of us find out where two
12:20
lucky things happened to me tonight. That's so last year's dam de nine saved
12:26
from bankruptcy. Also, I ran into mc carter, who furnished me with
12:31
a perfect alibi. I'm not even suspected of the murder. A lucky man,
12:35
missus Sanders. Now there was something said about a food the pea.
12:41
Oh yeah, that's the cash right with me? Yeah, and five hundred
12:46
dollar bills. Oh luckily on miss continent. Ten thousand dollars for three hours
12:56
work. Sanders. How does this happen? You're carrying all that money around?
13:00
I know it was carry a lot of tents. Wouldn't be that you
13:01
purposely had that much on you so you could wave it under my nose if
13:05
I didn't want to take the case. Why I didn't even know ideet you?
13:09
Oh when you collided with me, the radiator of your car was almost
13:13
cold. Yet you said you've been driving around. Well I had be I
13:16
doubt that. I believe you were parts of the curb until you saw Patton
13:18
leased out away from my house. The lady you're waiting for it? Are
13:22
you trying to say that I framed that snak up? I am you deliberately
13:24
planned to have me furnish you with an alibi. I suppose next you say
13:30
that I actually murdered like that. Yeah, I think he did. Oh,
13:33
how could that's crazy? How could I have been with you and be
13:37
at this house at the same time. I don't know the answers yet,
13:39
but I'm going to find them. I'm sure you killed him. I don't
13:43
have to stand here and listen the slender. You're not free to leave yet,
13:46
Sanders to stick around. Don't worry. I'll be around if you need
13:50
me. Look what's going on with you? He just took a ten thousand
13:54
dollars Susan maclient and then accusan of murder. That's right, Well, I
13:58
don't understand. And who was with us when it happened? Ruin, I
14:03
are his alabie, I know, but in spite of that, I'm positive
14:07
Sanders killed William Lasher. As the case moves with it to a climax,
14:18
nacking Pasty theirs as the alibi for the man, Nick excloses his murder,
14:20
and just the moment we learn whether Nick can make this accusation stand. Now
14:31
back to the case of the perfect alibi. To day's adventure with Nick Carter
14:35
brought you by a new POLP war All dut Cleenser. In the short time
14:41
later, the police had gone making Passier upstairs invest it in Lash's bedroom well
14:48
nothing here that gives us any crew. U Uh, you really think he
14:52
murdered last year? I do? What about Donald? Worried till last some
14:58
day? Pe Donald didn't do it? Yeah, how can you be so
15:01
sure about that? Last her new Arnold was dangerous If I didn't hear for
15:05
a drink. No, no, I'm supposed to. It's right. The
15:11
man life, Honold. Don't be poison when they killed it's me kay,
15:16
Oh come on in, that's really I thought i'd see if there was anything
15:22
I could do. Oh, yes, yes, that's there is really.
15:24
Uh. Last year was obviously a hot tempered man. Are they always that
15:28
way? Oh? No, that was just on the surface. Under knew
15:33
he was a swell guy. Oh no, No. He broke a new
15:37
wing on the hospital and cost him a quarter of a million dollars. That's
15:39
the Blydstone wings by the years. That's him because he didn't want his own
15:43
name on it. He didn't even want anybody to know he paid for him.
15:46
Who waste anyone special? Oh yeah, mister Bladstone saved mister Lash's life
15:52
in the First World War and he was nearly killed doing you. Uh.
15:56
He used to come here every year to talk about the war and old times
16:00
stuff. It was sort of an anniversary. You know what Lickstone is now
16:03
he died five years ago. Uh panstematic calling about the poisons. Okay,
16:10
thanks about this one. I'm coming back stock aways like, I don't know
16:26
that you're all right? No, no, I don't think so. If
16:33
there was something stretched across the stailway, I got to hit my ankle,
16:36
and then I asked my band, there's too bad. Huh, I'm scared.
16:41
He knew I expected a phone call and wanted me to break my neck.
16:45
But he tripped. This is an open stairway with a railing on both
16:49
sides that have passed a wire or a cord across the steps, pulled it
16:52
up as it came down, then pulled a forward free and got away.
16:55
Gosh, what a dirty trick. Help me up, Max, Okay,
17:02
I'm I'll be helping the studio. Bet get down there and read for a
17:06
bit. Okay, I'll tell you until you be okay. I will.
17:15
Oh that's Sary and Madison probably wondering what I'm as room No, I answered,
17:21
no, no, I'll go to that card speaking. Look, why
17:26
don't you answer the phone? I was getting all set to come out there
17:30
and see if you were still alive. Sorry, Maddie that you try to
17:33
answer your first club, but to fall down the stairs. She fell,
17:37
She didn't hurt herself. No, no, I don't think so nothing serious.
17:38
Oh good, well your hunch was right, Nick. They what top
17:42
the shows. The liquor was poisoned. That was potassium cyanide in the bottle,
17:48
and both slept. So that's why the fan. Yeah. Oh,
17:52
by the way, you better watch out for Pete Arnold. My boys never
17:56
did see him leave the place. Thanks Mary, I'll do that for the
18:00
size and say this it was poison Oh ay joy? Were there any more
18:07
glasses to this death, mister Lasher used, not that I know. I
18:11
never saw more than two of them. I see, Hey, it's brandy
18:15
imported from France, more than forty years old, Carly. It must be
18:21
christ Is. If you go in for that sort of thing, not at
18:26
home, would Lasher? There's forty year old brandy. I have to leave
18:30
somebody very special to Carter. I remember now, Yeah, what mister Blystone,
18:34
every time he came here that bottle of brandy would turn out well,
18:38
now and about a year is it? Once? About a year since mister
18:41
Blystone died. I'd found the bottle here on the desk again with the two
18:45
glasses it last or drank much? He never drank, mister Carter, except
18:49
or maybe the times I found the bottle left on the desk. Y hitting
18:52
me a quicker by the window. That's what the pets the second floor of
18:57
the glass. What's that window right in the middle and one looking out the
19:04
one with a cigarette in his mouth? Couldn't could that be? I don't
19:11
know, but it won't take me long to find out. What about that?
19:30
You stay right here, don't put what are you going to do?
19:37
I'm going around the other side. He's got out of the garage now on
19:41
around the west corner. I tell the gun play. Oh, I can't
19:47
just make it to m you shooting over the other ways? I why jumping
19:53
fall hold. He'll be with us as soon as he wakes up. It's
20:08
tb Yeah, standers, where have you been? While all the fireworks were
20:12
going on? I was just walking around thinking, Okay, it suppose to
20:18
take all a peak legs. We'll cary him into the house and we'll all
20:22
do some thinking together. Okay, one handcuff around this wrist, the chained
20:36
behind the steam pipes, and the second cuff from his other wrist. Let's
20:40
take care of Donald for the time being, Carter, Why did you bring
20:44
Ronald upstairs? Why not just turn him over to the police, because there,
20:48
I know police here at the moment standards, Mattie took his men away.
20:51
Figure that's whoever had been trawling around and gone, all right, cut
20:59
it. If you're not fooling anyone, I'm neck Carter, try to kill
21:03
Patsy and me? What a stack? Right? Then? What a stap
21:10
have you kill? Let her go? I was going but when I looked
21:14
in the window, he was sitting there dead. Then what happened? I
21:17
heard the cops over and around? So I hit in the garage. Why
21:21
because I had the cops see me here that a friend made for the job.
21:26
Nobody's framing you, pie, But the police are going to ask you
21:29
a lot of questions. Well, I guess I'll be here when they come.
21:45
Is this all you're going to do? Carter? If you're in the
21:48
study and wink, aren't you going to send to the police. I'll be
21:51
glad to Sanders you decided to confess you're a crazy Carter. Here you have
21:56
a man who swore he'd murder like her. So who even I you shoot?
22:00
You? Don't you know when you've quart a killer? Standers. There's
22:04
an old photograph hanging on the wall here behind Lass is dead, looks like
22:10
some of the men from Lasser's old infantry company. Yes, that's what it
22:12
is, Katah. That's because you got a copy of this. Yeah.
22:18
The third gum from the left, aren't er Yes, a little eyes most
22:22
of them brown, Myerson Kelly's livestone and your news lifstone, Gooch idea what
22:29
charges? But if you're trying to tie him into this, you're wrong.
22:33
You've been dead for five years. Yeah, hello, Joey told me,
22:37
Oh, Pey coming to the living room. Quite you too, Joey,
22:49
both of you. I'm going to accuse standards of murder again, point blank,
22:53
and I'm going to show him how I can prove it. Can you
22:56
do that? I'm going to try. I got it. You want to
23:00
make him so desperate he'll do something that was give himself away. I was
23:03
just, oh, but what about tweet on all? Let's cold, you're
23:06
petty. Nothing as far as Lasher is murders concerned. But if he didn't
23:10
do it, and Sanders was with us? Who was with Lasher when he
23:14
was killed? Somebody had to be Patsie. When last Year died, there
23:18
was no one with him. Excep's possibly a ghost? A ghost? Can
23:22
you try and tell me it's best super natural case? No, and for
23:26
the work of a murderer who planned every move well in advance. Oh now,
23:29
let's get back to the study while I tell Sanders how he murdered last
23:33
year without even being present. We will be careful me Sanders may have a
23:36
gun. Shouldn't be surprised. That's where Joey comes in. Gosh, I'll
23:41
do anything I can. Okay, Joey, take one of those heavy book
23:44
ends off that table, go out of the house and around to the back.
23:45
You have three minutes to reach the windows looking into the study. But
23:48
then then, why do Joey, When the time comes for you to act,
23:53
you'll know it without me telling you. Oh you back again, God,
24:11
Who's yes? Standers want to established some tracks. Oh you knew a
24:17
Lasser and his dead friend Blackstone from World War One? Suppose I did you
24:21
knew the Blystone saved Lasser's life for that last ye and Blystone made a pledge
24:25
after the war was over to meet once a year and celebrate the rescue.
24:27
Does that make me a murderer? Alasta never used lectric except once a year,
24:33
when he and Blystone drank a small glass of his spine old brandy,
24:36
And that celebration always took place on the same day, the date of Glasser's
24:38
rescue, a date you knew because you were there when it happened. So
24:42
two men celebrated an anniversary. And that makes me a murder It does because
24:47
you knew about it. Joey tells me. The bottle of the two glasses
24:51
were kept in playing sight in the cabinet over the dead. You must have
24:52
seen them many times. Been very easy for you to come here to see
24:56
last year. And then while you were waiting here in the study. For
25:02
of course, Sanders poisoned the bottle of brandy when he was here over two
25:06
months ago. He knew it wouldn't be do it until tonight, and he
25:10
planned to set up an alibi for the exact time when less it would be
25:12
killed. All right, those if you put your hands up past I told
25:15
you hadn't done him up. Thank you till you found out about me,
25:22
I did. You were too righteous to have Patsy and me be your alibi,
25:26
and you were too good to pay too much money for got a small
25:29
job. I'm admitting nothing, Carter, but don't move either of you.
25:33
I have plans for you. Standards back the way. His fingers tightened against
25:45
the trigger. We'll see what Nick does about this in just a moment.
25:55
Now for the conclusion of the case of the perfect alibi. Today's adventure here
26:00
with Nick Carter brought you by a new polk war all Dutch glensor Anders slowly
26:06
levels has gunnet Nicky petty as he says, is were you and miss Bowen
26:10
get it? I hope you're there was some haymaker you landed on the store,
26:19
so he won't do any more shooting for a while. You were marvelous.
26:25
You won't run the bo Joey, thank you boy, missus bully boy.
26:32
When your plan seems to have worked. Yeah, when Joey smassed the
26:37
window, Sanders reacted just as I hope you were. And that's so you
26:40
were a chance to go for it. Yah, I don't not even have
26:41
two prisoners now, Peter, I love in Sanders. Gosh, it's hard
26:47
to believe Sanders killed Laster and wasn't even here when it happened. Right then,
26:52
Blystone was the ghost who was the lasser when he was killed. Gosh,
26:57
that was a clever scene, yes, and safe too. The brand
27:02
was never used for anything else. He simply said a murder treck and waited
27:06
for the reunion to set it all right, which is murder in the first
27:10
degree, as you will find out very shortly. Pay to the order of
27:19
the community test. This is the first time in a long time a murderer's
27:26
money has helped a worded cause a murderer. Welcome back. I enjoyed this
27:32
episode at a few points. It even reminded me a bit of an episode
27:37
of Colombo, with the battle of wits between the hero and the villain of
27:41
the piece, and this whole setup of using Nick Carter as the perfect alibi.
27:47
I think he did carry things too far with his whole plan of meeting
27:52
Nick Carter in an auto accident supposedly, oh look who I ran into,
27:57
Just who I needed to. It probably would have made more sense to try
28:03
and set things up to meet Nick Carter with the problem. Once again,
28:07
we have Nick Carter taking as somewhat dangerous risk in putting his life in Patsy's
28:15
in jeopardy, but betting on the fact that a noise would frighten the murderer
28:21
from committing another one, And of course the way Nick Carter's lot goes turns
28:26
out to absolutely work. All right. Well, now we do turn to
28:29
some listener comments and feedback and Bobby comments regarding episode fifteen hundred, The Two
28:36
Faced fire Master. I can't help but think if the fire Master was so
28:41
careful that he did a test run, then he would have also patted Nick
28:44
down before he got in the car. True enough, a smart criminal would
28:49
do that, but Nick Carter's never exactly been famous for realism. But that's
28:55
still a good cat. Sandy says, thank you seriously for putting meet a
29:00
sleep notly, and then we have this comment from Kelly. We enjoy listening
29:03
to the Great Detactus podcast. Thank you for your dedication to bringing these entertaining
29:08
shows to a new generation of listeners. We love your informative comments. We
29:12
send a donation so you can keep up the good work. Well. Thanks
29:17
so much, Kelly. And then we have a question from Dave Over on
29:23
the Facebook page under the post a page. He asked, you're a cop,
29:30
would you rather work for Lieutenant Riley or Lieutenant Levinson. Well, David,
29:36
there are actually two different Lieutenant Riley's within the province of the Golden Age
29:41
Radio. There's Lieutenant Riley of the early episodes of Nick Carter, and there's
29:47
Lieutenant Riley of Let George do It. Lieutenant Levinson is of course of Richard
29:52
Diamond. So of those three, the one I would most like to work
29:56
for is Lieutenant Riley Let George do It. Lieutenant Levinson is constantly uptight and
30:06
tense. If you listen to Richard Diamond, which we're going to get to
30:10
in a year or so, it would be miserable working for him. Lieutenant
30:14
Riley of Carter was, of course a bit of a stereotype in the early
30:18
going. The same actor who played Lieutenant Riley has most recently been heard playing
30:25
the role of Waldo and using the exact same accent, and Lieutenant Riley and
30:30
Nick Carter was just kind of over his head all the time. I like
30:33
Lieutenant Riley and Let George do It the best. He could get flustered and
30:40
he could bluster, but at his score he was a competent cop. Well,
30:44
I wouldn't say his default setting was easy going. He was certainly more
30:48
relaxed than Levinson. The question is over at Facebook dot com slash Radio Detective.
30:53
So if you have a thought of which of those three lieutenants you would
30:57
like to serve under if you were a play police officer, go over to
31:00
Facebook and be sure and share your thoughts. But that will do it for
31:04
today. We will be back tomorrow with yours truly Johnny Doller, and then
31:10
join us again next Thursday for another episode of Nick Carter. In the meanwhile,
