  Speaker 1: Now, doctor Whitton, what about the strange experience of mister
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: John Scott Echoes and WISTERI Elige.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It was a bleak wintery day. The year was eighteen
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: ninety two.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: I believe we were in our rooms in Baker Street
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: and Homes and received a telegram during lunch.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: He'd read it and sent off a reply.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: The lunch things were subsequently cleared away, and Holmes were
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: standing in front of the fireplace, smoking his pipe, a
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: thoughtful look on his face. Suddenly he turned to me
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Watson, you were supposed to be a man of letters.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: How would you define the word grotesque?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Grotesque? Were something strange remarkable?
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: No, there's more in it than net grotesque. There's an
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: underlying suggestion of the tragic and the terrible.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: This Whil's introspection. Who's been using the word now?
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: This telegram read.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: It so lark, You've just had most incredible and grotesque
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: experience where I can signed JS.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Echoes then sent from the chang Cross. First off is Echols.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Whether it's a man or a woman?
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Man? Of course, no woman would have sent her a
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: reply paid telegram, No, No, she would have come herself. Ah,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: and that if I'm not mistaken as mister Eckles himself,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Let's take a peek at him before Missushutson lets him in. Watson,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: don't juggle the curtain like that. It's too obvious.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: ReSpectacle looking hands.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Notice the gray whiskers, A pompous old bird.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, everything from his pets to the gold rimmed spectacles
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: and top hat pronounced him a conservative, a churchman, a
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: good citizen, orthodox and conventional to the last degree.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, But what is such a paragon coming here?
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: For accidents, my dear Watson, sometimes happen even in the
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: best regulated circles. Here he is come in. Ah, good day,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: mister Eckles, I presume yes, Echols, john Scoff Echoes, I've
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: just had a most upsetting and unpleasant experience. Mister Holmes, multipropper,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: most of Richards stray. Sit down, mister, this is my colleague,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: doctor Watson.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I'll do do, sir.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: It's an outrage, That's what it is. May I ask
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: mister Echoes why you didn't come to me at once?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: What you'll be It's now quarter past two. Your telegram
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: was dispatched at quarter past one, and yet one glance
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: at the somewhat disheveled state of your attire shows that
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: the disturbance dates from the moment of you're waking. You're right,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: mister Holmes. I never gave a thought to my appearance.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: My one idea was to get out of that house.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: But I've been busy since then, running round to the
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: house agent.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: You know, the fellow's that was paid.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Right enough, Come come, mister Echoes. I'm afraid you've acquired
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: my friend doctor Watson's deplorable habit. He is prone to
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: tell his stories wrong. End former, Look, your homes are wanton, now,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: mister Eckles, to please give us the fact of the case. Now,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: what come in?
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Ah?
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, so it's you, Lestrade, the watchdog of Scotland.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yard.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I might have known no one else would come thundering
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: at the door in that fashion. I thought i'd find
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: him here. Ah, you are you not, mister John Scott
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Echoes of pop a mouse Lee. Naturally his you traced
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: him through his telegram to me. It's all perfect obvious.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: So why be so melodramatic?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Who is this? Gentlemen?
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Allow me to introduce Inspectulus Starred, mastermind of Scotland yar,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: you've gotta blaze his mister Olmes.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: It's mister Eccles, arm.

• 3:16
  Speaker 4: A murder of mister Alesius Garcia a wisteria lodge near Esha.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: You say he's dead, now, none of that's surprise stuff.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: This little was found in his pocket. You wrote it,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: didn't you. Of course you accepted his invitation to spend
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: last night in his house, didn't you. Yes, you did
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: stay the night there. Ah, yes, but I could explain
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: ah one moment less start. Mister Eccles was on the
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: verge of telling me what happened during his visit. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: suggest we allow him to proceed. Draw up a chairlesstard,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: you might learn something all very well, but I warn you,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: mister Eccles. Anything you say maybe you'd in evidence against you.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: But I'm so my started.
• 3:49

• 4:26
  Speaker 4: at his house with teial lodge between Isha and Oxhoft.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: How many were there in his household? He had a

  Speaker 4: sort of valid butler, a countryman of his name Jose,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: and the half big cook called Grogo.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Queer household to find in the heart of salah As Yes, not.

  Speaker 2: Maybe if I shout.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Jose, I say, Jose, I don't like it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: This place is too quiet.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Jose, where are you.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: The deuce?
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: I doesn't all this bowing with Garcia must be a
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: sound sleeper. God, Garcy, are you what I found? The man?
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: You don't suppose nonsense? Getting the jump as he was
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: last night? Garcia, wake up, I see, let's go in.

  Speaker 4: She's dead, all right, I.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Say, Garsie, are you? Garcia? Look here he's gone.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: The bed hasn't been slept in Garcia. Hoose I was
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: thoroughly upset, mister Holmes.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I ran from room to room shouting.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: They were empty, The men were gone, My host, the footman, cook,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: all vanished in the night. Quite a unique experience, Hey Watson, Yes,
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: one of the ohios heres I packed my bags. Had
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: often visited the chief land agent of the village when
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I found everything in order. Garcie had read at the
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: place right enough, but even paid three months in advance.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: My next step was to come into town. Called it
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: the Spanish embassy. Yes, they had never heard of Garcia.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: That is the end of my st Well, I admit
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: it seems to fit in with what we discovered in
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Wistaria Lodge. We even found the note you spoke of, but.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Garcia threw it into the fire. I saw him do it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: It was a dog grate, he other pitched it. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: found this crumpled up at the bed. Yes, that's it.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I recognize the paper?
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: May I see? It is our own colors green and white, green, open, white,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: shut main stair, first corridor, seventh right, green, baize, god

  Speaker 4: speed signed d M. Woman's writing an a signation of
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: some sort.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I'd say, oh, why should he turn pale? If it
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: was just an amorous intrigue.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: It was more than that, she writes, god speed. It
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: was a serious and dangerous undertaking.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Who you suppose she is? She signs a sub d
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: he was Paris? She must have been two d ah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: That might stand for Dolores. Very good?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: What's but on what Thatly? She wasn't Spanish?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Wasn't there? Well?
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: She writes to ask penny friends in English and others
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: in it too. The envelope is addressed in a different
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: hand a man's writing, and the print of a man's
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: cupling has been pressed into the ceiling wax. A remarkable note.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: There's something about it. I don't quite like, hm Lestrade.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Where did you say Garcia was found art shot common
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: about an eighth of a mile from his own head.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Batter in footprints? Well there weren't any.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: We could see.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: The rain had washed them out, Brod No, No, he's
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: watching money were left King Keech. Well, miss Wreckles, if
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: you don't mind stepping around the yard, I'd like your
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: story in writing, certainly i'll come at once, but I
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: should like to retain yourselves as mister Holmes, I shall
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: be delighted to collaborate with Scotland Yard. If bliss tild
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: doesn't mind, and what good would it do if I
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: did hard? Then it's settled. I suggest to take a
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: run down to Esha Watson. I find I have a
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: longing for the country. I'm coming too splendid. Suppose we
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: meet tonight that mister Garcier's poetically named villa. What was it,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Hius with your lodge? I fancy this will be a
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: case of churche la famine.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Here here, oh French, look for the woman. What woman?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: The woman who wrote that note. If I'm not mistaken,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: she's in a decidedly dangerous position. In just a moment,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: we'll find out what Sherlock Holmes discovers on the visit
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: to Wisteria Lodge. Every man who takes pride in his
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: appearance should know that handsome, healthy looking hair needs a
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: high gienic scale.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: That's why, when you buy a hair tonic, be sure
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to get your money's worth. Don't settle for just any
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: hairdressing when you can enjoy the extra advantages of Crammel
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: hair tonic. This highly specialized hair tonic contains a special
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: combination of hair grooming ingredients, the like of which has
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: never been duplicated in any other hair Tonic Krammel keeps dry,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: stubborn hair neatly in place all day and always gives
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: hair such a natural, well groomed appearance, never sticky you're greasy,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: But men, Cremmell does lots more than keep hair looking handsome.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Cremwell leaves your scalp feeling so alive and tingling. At
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the same time it removes it, you loose dandrus. It's

  Speaker 1: doctor Watson, You and Sherlock Holmes went down to Wisterialive
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yes with taberol.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: That night found us walking in the neighborhood of Isha.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: It was pitch black and there was a wind blowing.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: O Kims, why go plotting about on a night like this,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: there's another storm brwing up. Why don't wait until daylight?
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: It's too dark to see now anywhere even the road.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Or stopped, grumbling Watson. We promised this charge. We'd pick
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: him up at the villa. Yes, Besides, we've come to
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: rescue that woman. That note was written under pressure. The
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: writing was shaking. Someone else addressed envelope, sent it off,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: and Lord Garcia to his death. She's probably being kept
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: prisoner at this moment, unless they've killed her too.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: How we going to find her?
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: The note ran Mainstair, first Corridor, seven point Green Bays.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: That indicates a large house.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: There aren't many large houses in the neighborhood.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Quite moreover, it had to be a house Garcia could
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: get to do what he intended to do and be
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: back by twelve o'clock, less than an hour's time.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I mean that Garcia invited our friend mister Eccles to
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: visit him with one purpose in mind. Ah, what was
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: that he wanted? An eliphy That is why the clock
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: struck twelve when mister eccles watch indicated it was only
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: quantified to eleven, which was the correct time by the
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: way Garcia intended to be somewhere else at twelve o'clock
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: where somewhere within the radius of a mile. There are
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: only two large houses within this radio. One belongs to
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Lord Weaverley, a conservative old fellow. He is out of
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: the question. The other high gables was rented just last
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: month by a man who calls himself Henderson, but who
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: looks like a foreigner. The whole house is run by
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: foreign servants, with the exception of the English governess for
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: his little girl.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Do you think that she may be the woman in question?
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: I only know she has not been seen for the.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Last three days.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: It's glad only if I'm not mistaken. This is a
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: light from mysterior lodge, shining through the trees.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: The start here, hell of it, the goobris looking place.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: He yes on across the diveway. That's Mustrade sitting in
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: the middle of the study with a light beside him.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: It's the metter with a man. It's a stip as
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: a ramrod. Tap on the window, Watson, what's up the stard?
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Open the window. I'll never expect you to see the
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: day when I be so glad to see your face.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Mister Roomes it's been a bad evening here, Watson over
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: the sill. I had said, you close the window behind
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: you now in this grand what's been giving you the jumps? Well,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: it said, lonely, silent owis. And what with that queer
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: thing in the kitchen. When I heard you tap in
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: at the window, I thought it had come again? It?
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: What is it? The devil? For all I know?
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: I got here a bit earlier. I was sitting here
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: reading a book when all of a sudden something made
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: me look up and there was a face looking in
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: at me through the lower pane. And what was it like?
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: It wasn't black, and all was in white, sort of
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: a clay color, like it was dead and had earth
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: on it, and the size of it twice as big
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: as yours. But the look on the face was the
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: worst of it, great doggle eyes and a line of
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: white teeth like a hungry beast. I'll tell you I
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: couldn't move a finger. I just shut my eyes and
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: held me breath, And when I got the courage to
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: look again, it was gone like that into thin air.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Let's have a look around the house. Wait till you
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: see what's in the Oh, no time like the present.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: You know the place.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Let's try you lead.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: The work, not in their life.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I'll go with you.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Of another head off you right here down this corridor
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: to the raft Watson. You had better hold the lamp.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: This giant's hand doesn't seem to be as steady as usual.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: This is the kitchen, entirely looking place. Look what an
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: extordinar thing. Chicken feathers all.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Over the room? Yes, a white cock torn savagely to pieces.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: And over in that corner is a goat with its
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: throat slit and blood all over a place.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: How perfectly beast.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: But that's not the worst of it. Okayre father, think
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: here's something to make you. A flesh creep, sinister, shrivel
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: up thing looks like about back doll or a mummified
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: monkey that is no doll Watson, nor yet a monkey
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: that was once a human being a South American native
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: to be exact, what down there? Some of the wilder
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: tribes have a secret process by which they can dry
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: and dwarf the bodies their dead enemies until they look
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: like this. It's a voodoo fetish, and all this mess
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: of blood and slain animals indicates a South American voodoo
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: sacrifice South American green and white.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Of course, what is your home?
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Never mind, Watson, no time for discussion, honey. We must
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: go to high gables and find the governess. She must
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: be made to talk while she's still able. Ah, that's
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: the house governess's rooms at the back. What's this? Closed
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: carriage without flights, drawn up to the front door and
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: baggage filed on top.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: We're trying to make her get away.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: From the stop them? How can we We've got no warrant,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Thank heavens, I'm not a member of the official police.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: My revolver's warrant enough for me.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Look. Look, front door's opening. Two men are coming out.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: One in the great coat is Henderson, as he could himself.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: I think I can tell you his real name if
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: I get a look at his face.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Carrying something between them?
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: What's a woman?
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: The governess?
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Why can't you walk? What have they done to her?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Y're putting her in the carriage? Come on, you must
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: stop them now.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Then hands up, both of you.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Figure then no, you don't calo one move to pick
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: up those reins and you'll get a bullet through you. Now, then,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: what are you're done to that woman?
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: He's sick.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: We are taking her to London. You must not stop us.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Let's ride like the carriage. Lamb Watson to take a
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: look at that woman. What seems to be the matter
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: with her? Pause?
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: You pulls of eyes. Oh, yes, she's been drugged. Hope
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: here he's half conscious.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: You will kill her.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: She is sick.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: We must get her to a doctor. Every moment he
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: is fighting.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: No, can't he.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Killed Garcia.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Don't listen to her.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: She's delirious.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: We must go to a doctor.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I am a doctor, my good man.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Don't worry. She's in good hands. Doctor Watson will take
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: care of her. Now, Lestrade, if you will remove the
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: gentleman's hats so we can have a good look at
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: his face. Aha, as I expected, Lestrade, arrestless man. He
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: is the murder of Garcia, and heaven knows how many
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: other poor souls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: But who is he?
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Don Morriro, the Tiger of San Pedro, the most blood
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: thirsted tyrant that ever ruled.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Are helpless people, must say, doctor Watson. I'm still a
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: bit confused.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, and so.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: As i am, mister Bell. Until the English Governess explains the.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Whole thing to men. Don Morrillo had been.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: A dictator the country San Fedro in South America.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Its colors are green and white.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, I know.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: He was a terrible man who had.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: No scruples about butchering anyone who stood in his way politically.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: One of his victims had been the Spanish husband of
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: the English lady who later became Marilla's governess.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: His reign of terror ended in a revolution, but he
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: managed to escape the country with.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: All the government funds. The inhabitants of San Pedro parted
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: to bring him.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: To justice, but failed until the englishwoman managed to worm
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: her way into his household.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: So that's why she was there.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Here's it is.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: She and the party headed by Garcia planned to kidnap
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Marilla and take him back to San Pedro way he
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: could be tried for his crimes. Marilla, however, suspected the
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: governess intercepted her note and killed Garcia.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Well that's perfectly clear now. Oh, just one more thing.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: The hideous face at the window.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: What was that?
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Oh that that was Grogo, Garcia's huge native cook who
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: was sneaking back to get his voodoo.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Fetish the shriveled money.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: That was certainly a blood curdling story. Doctor Watson will
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: return in just a moment to give us a hit
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: about the next week's story. Here's something of real interest
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: for our lady listeners. I'm sure we all know or
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: have heard how beautiful Power's models are, But did you
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: know that these famous beauties make up to thirty five
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year.
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: Which shows they have brains as well as beauty. Yeah,
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: but seriously, Joe, what impresses me most is that Power's
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: models can afford to spend a fortune on their hair,
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: yet when they wash it, they rely on inexpensive Cremo.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Shampoo, which proves how wonderful Cremel shampoo really is. Power's
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: models were among the first to discover that no other
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: shampoo leaves hair more shining bright with natural blossom lust, and.
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: Under no circumstances does Cremo shampoo ever dry the hair.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Cremmel shampoo is not a soapless shampoo. It's not a
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: cream shampoo. It's not a harsh soap or drying DETERTI.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Tremmel shampoo is entirely different.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: I'll check with that, Joe. After a Cremel shampoo, the
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: hair actually radiates natural, brilliant highlights and Cremo shampoo even
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: has a built in oil base which helps keep hair
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: from becoming dry or brittle. It wines out so easily
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: and positively, never never leaves any dull sopy filmed.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: So ladies, always wash your hair with Cremill shampoo. It
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: leaves hair a vision of shining, sparkling duty, yet in
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: no way hurts its texture. K R E m L
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: KREML shampoo. Now, doctor Watson, what about next week?
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Well, and I'll never think next week. I think, no,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I won't. Next week.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: I think I'll tell you about another one of our
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: meetings with the infamous Professor Mariatti.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's not here.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: It's a strange story, very strange story of violence and
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: sudden death. Death that's struck from the London shadows. I
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: call it the Adventure of the Holly Street Murders.
