  Speaker 4: what's on your mind? Murder mister Olmes grit Scott. Who
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: where well, have you, gentlemen, noticed the fancy sailing boat
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: that's been moored out in the colde this past week? Yes,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I was informed that it was owned by George Byron,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: the Lancashire cotton manufacturer. That's correct, sir. The boat's named
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: the Sally Martin. And right at this moment, mister Byron's
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: lying there in his cabin with a knife in his ribs,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: dead or in a boiled macron.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Gracious me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I rode ashore to send a telegram to the police
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: at Canterbury, but I left a constable to guard the
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: people aboard Good. I'm going back now to conduct my investigation.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: But the Canterbury police can't be here afore morning, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: I was hoping that that we'd help us out it. Well, Sir,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: a case like this is a little outside of my
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: exper A.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Dobson, mister Holmes is still a sick man's out and
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: foggy as his doctor.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: I forbid, uish, how can I stay here in the
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: inn while I'm murderized waiting to bessolve less than a
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: mile away, Come Watson, the games are foot? How much
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: further than Sargan about about a quarter of a mile.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: So don't get that soon. I want to answer for
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the consequences.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I'm rotten sailor, share up Watson. And meanwhile, sergeant, suppose
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: you give me as man effects as possible. How many
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: people are bored to telemartin. Well, there's three passengers, mister Rooms,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: and and two in the crew. Let's have the passions
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: as first, wellness, there's Missus Byron, the dead man's wife.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I look younger than them she is, and and she
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: looks a bit on the flighty side if you asked me,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: even though she was happing a proper fit of yesteretics light.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: And then there's there's Clarence Byron, the dead man's brother.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: And what opinion did youerform us to his character? I said,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: you understand. I didn't talk to him much, but he
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: had to cool as a cucumber, just just as if
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: murder didn't mean a thing to him. And the third passenger, well,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: he's a young fellow by the name of Rogerson, secretary
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: to the dead man. Very nicely spoken gentleman he is.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: But it seemed to me as if Missus Byron had
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: quite a night for him. He can, even through her
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: tears that's why I said. She seemed lighty like. You're
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: a very observant sergeant. Oh, it's just training, sir. How
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: about the two crew members, Well, listen, there's Captain Small,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: he seemed perfectly above board. And a man by the
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: name of Cuggins, Arthur Cuggins. He's a decan, and a
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: mighty surly one at that. He gave me quite a
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: bit of backchat when I questioned them.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Oh, how much further is it?
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Bari one hundred yards?
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Old chair, I feel awful to hurry up?
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Move over, sergeant, let me take an awe. There's the
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: murdered man, mister Olmes. That's just there. We found him
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: very illuminating.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Look at that murderous knife. It's malied to the health
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: in his chest.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, But more interesting than the knife at the moment
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: is the tableau presented in this cabin. What story does
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: it tell you, Watson?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: A simple story. Somebody opened the cabin door, came in,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: stabbed him.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Oh come now, surely our years together have made you
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: a little more perceptive than that to driving it. Well,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: for one thing in his right hand is an open book.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Oh been reading? Yes?
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: And the sergeant hast told us that the oil lantern
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: beside his bank was still burning when the body was found.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: That's right, Master Owns. There's no sign of a struggle.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Bedclothes are in, aren't even rumpled, no cry for help
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: with her. So let us reconstruct the scene. Mister Byron
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: was lying in his bunk, breathing, as you observed. Was
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: the door opens, the murder comes in, the knife hidden
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: in his or her clothing. The victim has no suspicion
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: of his fate. Because the murder was someone who could
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: empty his cabin at will, and suddenly the fatal blow
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: is struck, then it must have been one one of
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: the three passengers. I think we may reasonably include the captain.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: The master of a schooner surely would have the ability
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: to enter his employer's cabin without creating suspicion or your right,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Master owns. I think we've seen enough here, Dargeant. Where
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: are the passengers in their cabin?
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Sir?
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I told them to wait there until they were sent
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: for the main saloon's empty. You could see them in there,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: nice and private, light splendid. Then let's go there at once.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: My friends help please, Oh, have Caddy help me? He
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: can't bring poor George.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: Back to life again, Candy, No, madam.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: But at least I can try to find his murder
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: for you, right one, So tickul easy like an answered
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: questions very well. What do you want to know is Joes,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: can you suggest anyone who might have had the motive
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: for murdering your husband?
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: Half a dozen in George made a lot of money,
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: was a hard businessman.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: He had many enemies, but none of his business enemies
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: had an opportunity of killing him tonight his biggest.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: Generally, the one I never could make him believe it
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: is on this day boat now his brother claim is
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: your enemies?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Oh brother, come, come, come, madam.
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: It's true clients bunged on him.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I've done for years. Lis is our marriage Orge.
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: She's trying to be more friendly, to believe than a
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: brother in law should be, just because I was once
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: in the theater.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: He seems to think I didn't know how.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: What if you knew a girl was Daily's prittle figure
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: wat them.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Surely this is no time for your theatrical reminiscences. Missus Byron,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Are you all familiar with the terms of your husband's will?
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: Everything he has comes to me, o, re that's pritically natural,
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: little bit perfectly.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: But in that case, your brother in law would hardly
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: seem to profit from your husband's death. I don't know
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: what you're suggesting, mister Sherlock Holmes. Do you think I
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: stabbed him? Wouldn't there the strength, missus Byron? I suggested nothing,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: But I'm interested to notice that you answer your questions
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: as well as ask them.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm not saying it I answer any more quest
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: to is mister Holmes.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I'm going back to mark cabin if you want me.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: That's where You're fine. Now wait a minute, then let
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: her go, sergeant, and please ask mister Hodson, the secretary
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: to come in here.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Just as you say her form Solis the file little thing,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: isn't it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: It's attractive too. What do you make of her home?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: It's hard to say. If one wished to reduce motive,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: that would be easy.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Well, she must be twenty five years younger than her husband.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: And the fortune coming to her his death.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Precisely, and despite her own statement, a woman would have
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: the strength to stab an unsuspecting land to death. Here's
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: mister Rogson, sir, thank you, sergeant, These sit down, Miss Hotson. Yes,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: mister Holmes. This is a shocking business is indeed.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Mother.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I'd like to ask you a two questions, any questions
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: you like? When did you last see your employer tonight?
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Shortly after dinner, mister Holmes, he was taking a turn
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: around the deck. We shatted for a few minutes, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: then I went to my cabin retired. It was about
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: nine thirty a quarter.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: You heard no cry for help, no shout in the knife.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: No none.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: The first time knew of the tragedy was when the
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: captain awakened me. Can you suggest who might have had
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: a motive for his murder? Mister Holmes? That that's a
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: little hard to answer. Come no, mister Hudson, don't hold
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: anything back. You'll have to talk in a court of law.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: You know, yes, I suppose so well, gentlemen. In my
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: capacity as secretary, I did know that my employer's brother, Clarence,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: has been borrowing heavily. Although yesterday morning I was compelled
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: to draw on my employer's attention to an irregularity in
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: the monthly bank statement. A five hundred pound check had
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: been drawn eastincture was a forgery.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: You think that Clarence barn committed that forgery?
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Yes I do, Sir inserted my employer. The two brothers
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: had a terrible row about it, a sergeant, will you
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: be good enough to ask mister Karence Byron to come here?
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Please write your.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Muster all one very personal question, mister Hudson. Was the
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: relationship between you and your employer's wife purely a social one?
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, missus Byron has been very
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: time to me. My family are dense. He's taken an
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: interest in me. But I give you my word that's
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: been purely patonic. Mister Holmes, Yes, Hutcheon Dobson. Mister Clarence
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Byron is lying in his puncher. He says he can't
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: come here. He's got at attack, a heart attack.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: It's rather convenient they're homes.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, Watson. And it's also convenient that there's a doctor aboard.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Let's go and see him, shall win.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Do you feel any better, mister Burne, Yes.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yes I do. Doctor. That injection you gave me help?
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Did you tell us?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I suppose Hetson Holmes is half perfectly sound.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: He was simulating an attack.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: So I gathered since an injection of plain water apparently
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: gave him immediate relief. Plain waters your heartbeat was full
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: and regular and your color normal.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: So I decided to try an experiment, and.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: A very successful Why did you pretend to have a
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: heart attack, mister Barron.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I wasn't pretending. I do have a bad heart.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: That I don't doubt. Only a bad heart could prompt
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: you to swindle your brother and then murder him. Though
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't murder him, though I can tell you who did. Oh,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: you are very eager to ship suspicion, mister Byron, who,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: in your opinion, murdered your brother, said deckhead after Cuggins.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Only a few days ago he threatened my brother's life.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: You heard him make the threat, Yes, I did. It
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: was his second day aboard to Darly. In the morning.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I was strolling on deck when I came on this name, Couggins,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: which standing by the main list practicing throwing a knife.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: You're pretty hendy with a knife, Couggins.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: What's that? I said?
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: You're pretty hendy with a knife. I know how to
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: use a knife. You think you're going to like being
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: on this ship now?
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: Not if I don't get treaty locker you hman being
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: just yesterday, the owner yells out to me, here you,
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: whatever your name is, treating.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: You like dirt, whatever your name is, can't you find
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: out my name?
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I'm as good as he is.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: One of these dark knights. You'll get what's coming to him.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: That's what he said, mister Holmes, and he looked as
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: if he meant business.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: He's an extra with a knife, you'll say, Holmes, do
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you think it's possible that Couggins threw the knife through
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a porthole into the dead man's cabin?
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, Watson, as possible. Your story was interesting, mister Byron,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: though of course entirely uncorroborated. I think we'll go and
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: talk to the captain and see if he can supplement
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: your information.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: Well, mister Holmes, I can't answer with this pers that's
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: her business in mine.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that, Captain Small, but to answer your crew,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: no doubt that I will, sir, And this man Cocking
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: did are no good.
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: If ever, I saw in subordinate survey always talking about
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: how he's as good and better than those who enploy.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: And why did you engage him, Captain?
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I didn't, sir.
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: That was arranged by my employer, mister George Barton. If
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: I had my way, Coggins would have gone back ashore
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: the first day.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: He's kept the ball.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Where his frets cut. He said, a revolver shot.
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: It sounded like it is, and it came from the folks.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: That all that's all, that's.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: White, arn't.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Good Heaven, that's why it's cocking smoking revolve in his
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: right hand. It's committed suicide.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, very convincing, isn't it. His head is brought on
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: a piece of fool's cap, a confession note, no doubt
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Look at this.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I killed him, and with my record, I knew you'd
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: catch me, so I took the quick way out.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: In case of solved Holmes.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: On the contrary, Watson, it's becoming more involved. If you
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: look closely, you will realize that we now have two
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: murders to solve instead of one. And somewhere on this
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: boat a murderer is still at large and may strike
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: a third time.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: In just a moment, we'll find out if the murderer
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: does strike a third time.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: But first then, if.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: You're bald, you might as well grin and bear it,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: because science tells us it's impossible to grow hair where
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the hair roots are dead, but you certainly can make
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the most of the hair you've got, and then you
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: can't beat Kremmel hair timing to help you. Kremmel contains
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: very special hair grooming ingredients found in no other hair timing.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: That's why Kremmell keeps hair neatly in place, longer and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: without that offensive, greasy look. But Cremmel does lots more
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: than keep hair looking handsome. Let me repeat, Kremmel does
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: lots more than keep hair loo looking handsome. A massage
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: with Kremmel helps stimulate circulation right in the surface of
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the scalp. Your scalp feels so alive, so invigorated. At
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the same time, it removes a loose dandruf and has
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a fine lubricating effect on.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: A dry scalp.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: And for hair that's so dry that it cracks and falls,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: remember Kremmel actually helps condition the hair in that it
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: leads it feeling so much softer and more pliable. Men
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: fire a bottle of Kremmel at any drug counter. It's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: such a nice, clean product. You can use it every
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: day so that your hair always looks at beit k
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: R E M L Kremmel hair time well. So Doctor Watson,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the Apparent's suicide turned out to be another of the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: murderer's victims.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, Bell Holmes at once sent Sars and Dobson to
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: check the passengers while the three of us stood.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: In that tiny cabin, an oil lamp.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Swinging above us and shedding a strange.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Glow on the macabre scene. I and why he was
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: so positive that it wasn't suicide.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: He will notice, Watson that the revolvers in Corokins's right hand.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, terms, I don't see what.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: I ignore the right hand and observe the left. A
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: deckhand is accustomed to hard manual labor. Notice the callouses
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: on his left hand and the freedom from them on
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: the right.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: By jove, he was left handed.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Yes he was, mister Holmes.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: I've noticed him.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: At work again. You'll observe the shot entered his head
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: from behind the right ear, a remarkable feet of dexterity
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: for a left handed man.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: And the murderer had the note ready shot Coggins from behind,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: but made the mistake of placing a revolver in the
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: wrong hand precisely.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: But this note, obviously in this guy's writing, poses another problem.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: What does the phrase?
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: And with my record, I knew you'd catch me me
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: you must have had a police record, But why volunteer
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: the information? I wouldn't if the murderer had a reason.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Captain you said that Cockins was engaged by mister George Byron.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Well say, he told me about the new man, but
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know that he interviewed him personally. Where was
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: he engaged at the stemen's hostel here in the middle?
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: So what are you getting at home?
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Surely it's obvious, Watson, if this man Coggin's had a
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: police record, his murderer might have deliberately placed him on
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: this boat, knowing he would be suspected. Yes, yes, it's possible.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: The question is who engaged him? Well, Sergeant, all three
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: of them in their cabins. Mister owns and swore they
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: un left them.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Yet we know that one of them must have slipped.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Down here and shot Coggins lost them in their cabin, Sergeant,
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: keep good to watch on them, Doctor Watson, and I
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: are going ashore?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Sure why Holmes when the murders here on this boat.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Because I'm convinced that the clue to his identity lies
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: waiting for us at the seamen's hostel. Where is the place, sergeant?
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: And who runs it. Oh my Jenkins, it's the house
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: just next to the red Lion on the key side.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Splendid Watson. We're taking this note and rowing ashore.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Another trip in that filthy rowing boat.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Must wear homes.
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: Is a fine time of nighter rut a respectable woman
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: out of a warm bed. I must say, enormous sake,
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: But missus Jenkins call me ma.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Everyone calls me Ma. Very well. We've come to you
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: because you're the one person who can help sold two
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: murders that took place on the Sally Martin tonight's murder.
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: Coming on my father? All I thowt am, Yeah, now
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: what's this shoe?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Say?
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Happened about it?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Sally Martin, the owner, mister Baron, was tapped to death
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: about ten o'clock tonight. Later on, a semen by the
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: name of Arthur Coggins was killed too.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I was killed.
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: You knew this man, Arthur Coggins, because over a year
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: he's been staying with me.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: He couldn't get a ship.
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: Because of his record.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: What record was that? He brought his ship's.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: Papers to me.
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: They all do when they're out of a birth. The
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: last ship he was on two years ago, it was
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: he got mixed seven and nice fight also was killed
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: my arrested. They couldn't prove he was guilty, but he
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: hasn't had a burth since. Course, it was written in
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: his papers.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Some of your theory homes the murder. Engaged him deliberately
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: knowing his recall.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Ex active missus uh mar, do you recall the name
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: of the man who interviewed Coggins? Now a man who
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: engaged him for the Sally Martin?
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: Uh huh No, But but it's hearing my book is
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: the last entry I made here?
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: It is Clarence Byron the brother.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: There's a man, Holmes.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Could you describe the appearance of mister Byron Man?
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: No, I can't say I remember much about it. He
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: was all muddled up. He was a nice, welcome gentleman.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Though you can recall no clue to his identity. It's
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: worth a sovereign to you if you can well let
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: me think.
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: Ah, yes, there's one thing I do remember. He had
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: a gold signal ring on his right hand.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Splendid man.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Wat's in the case of so positive Clarence the Man.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: May I congratulate you on your powers of observation, Watson, Mam.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Here are two sovereigns for you. Hello, thank you, and
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: the one is for the privilege of borrowing this registered
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: ook of yours for a few hours. I'm taking it
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: back to the Sally Martin with us, so that we
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: may compare the handwriting in it with that of a murderer.
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: I'll think, is it ridiculously at your homes?
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Why should you ask Clarence to sign his name? There?
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: With me a few moments longer, missus Byron, and you
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: will see why. Lest if I know what you're up to,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: mister Olmes, I.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Have a pression thusants and you'll see two.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Have you any objection to signing your name mister Barron?
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I suppose not, though I am just as confused as
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: the rest of them. Thank you. And now, mister Hudson,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: I wonder if you would mind helping us, of course
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: time at the Holmes. What can I do? You saw
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: the forged check. I wonder if you'd try and imitate
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: the signature that mister Clarence Byron has just written. Mister
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Byron's signature, Yes, his writing is extremely individual, but I
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: think you could help prove that under certain circumstances it
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: can be elastic. See how nearly you can imitate it.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I think you'll help us to prove that he murdered
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: his brother, Clarence. You did not, I knew it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Mabel, you're lost.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: If your boy, will you copy his signature mister.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Hudson, of course, if you think it will help you
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: hold hope to Shason signed please mister Hodson, Clarence Byron there,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: thank you. That's a remarkably fine gold signature, and you're
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: wearing mister Hudson, thank you. Watson. Give me mar Jenkins
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: register book. Sergeant. I want you to compare the signature
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: in this book with that which mister Hodgson has just
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: given us. I think you'll agree that they're both written
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: by the same man. They are well blow me dazed,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: so he forts curse his signature exactly. He is quite
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: a specialist in handwriting.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: Now that you didn't kill him, you couldn't have done it.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: It's no good, Mabel, and you know it as well
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: as I do. You know what I was up to
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: you and help me you subject that I used ten
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: yet a lie a lie on heart, Sergeant, I suggest
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: you take out your note.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Cook.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: They're talking in front of witnesses. To make the most
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: of the fact, if the sun's coming up, Watson here
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: should to seize Carmer Hayham a very satisfactory start to
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: a new day. He confessed murderer his accomplice, both of
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: them safely in the care of the police.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, I was convinced until we found him murdered, that
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: cogginsie the jeth Heead was the guilty body.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: Exactly what you were meant to think.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I thought that as he was an expert knight fly,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: he could have thrown one through a portal into the
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: dead man's cabin.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: No, Watson, both portholes were at the head of the bunk.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: But the knight wound the boks from the underside of
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: the heart and upwards. It would have been impossible to
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: have thrown the knight through a porthal.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: That's such an age as I can see it all now.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Young Hudson, coveting his employed wife, planned a night murder
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: and then engage Coggins, knowing that with his record he'd be.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: The logical suspect.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, but like so many murders, he tried to be
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: too clever. He left enough close to hang himself half
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: a dozen times.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Why did Clance pretend to have that heart attack, the.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Nervousness of a person who knows himself to be under suspicion,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: a futile attempt to escape interrogation.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: I'm glad it's all over.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I'm exhausted, and I'm prosen and I'm delighted to think
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: that this is my last trip in this horrible rowing.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Boat, whereas I'm feeling very stimulated and in a distinctly
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: altruistic mood.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Altruistic what do you mean home?
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: If you'll observe the plarry of excitement at the keayside,
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: the figures in blue search that are at this moment
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: embarking in boats, he will realize that the police from
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Canterbury have just arrived.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I still don't see how altruism comes into the picture.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: I intend to claim no credit in the solution of
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: his crime, and in consequence, I see little reason why
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: our old friend, Sargant Dobson should not very soon be
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: known as Inspector Dobson.
