  Speaker 1: which definitely will provide us a lot of stability on
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the show in terms of income. I continue I've continued
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to look for advertisers, but I found it a difficult
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: challenge just because of the format of the show as
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: well as the overall audience appeal to and we're looking
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to expand our video theater. From one episode a month
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to two, and listener support can help with that. If
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: we have a total of eight hundred dollars per month
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and listener pledges, we will we'll upgrade our server, which
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: will allow us to better be able to serve our
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: growing traffic. At the one thousand dollars level, we'll avoid
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: ads and sponsor announcements prior to the show except during
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the listener support campaign. At the thirteen hundred dollars a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: month level, we'll look at upgrading software and hardware used
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to produce the show, and at the two thousand dollars
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a month level, we won't do any more listener support campaigns,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: but we will have listener appreciation specials instead. And at
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the three thousand dollars level, we will start another weekly
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: podcast series not related to Great Detectives, but using old
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: time radio that will be determined in part by the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: vote of the fans, in particular Patreon supporters at various levels.
• 2:54

  Speaker 11: Lieutenant Hell, thanks very much, friend of yours, coming in unlimited?
• 10:53
  Speaker 11: That's hard to say translated. You mean you're not saying

  Speaker 11: wasn't a very good traveler.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Hum, seems he died en route. His train sickness can
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: be overdone. Huh, wasn't exactly train sickness.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: What was the name of the man you were meeting again?
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Why did you say it was a man?
• 11:18
  Speaker 11: No, this fellow stopped a couple of bullets in the
• 11:22
  Speaker 11: worst possible place. Are there any good places to stop bullets?

  Speaker 11: Maybe you'd like to climb aboard with me. Take a
• 11:31
  Speaker 11: look at the fellow I'm talking about.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: I might not be too busy. What's his name?
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Doyle, Jimmy Doyle.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: He didn't improve his appearance the bullets.
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: I mean, whoever shot him didn't have a beauty treatment
• 11:54
  Speaker 11: in mind. You know I'm templar.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: His name is Doyle, Jimmy Doyle. Isn't that what you
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: told me?
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: He fence very nice. When did he die?
• 12:04
  Speaker 11: Closes? The medical examiner just figured it. He must have
• 12:06
  Speaker 11: been shot around two or three in the morning.
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: It's nice to know he dined in a private compartment.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: We ever shot him had fun ripping the place up.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: He could have been looking for something. Wonder what as
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: I'm wondering too, Lieutenant, nice to have company. Could have
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: been diamonds, though Doyle collected them. I hate to tell
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: you this. When he was a bad boy, he stole em,
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: oh for shame in Chicago. He and a couple of
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: other bad boys, one of whom er four glasses. How
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: do you know that not much of a guest, Lieutenant.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: This is what I just picked up off the floor.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Looks like a tiny hunk of crumbled tissue Tomay.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Came out of a sight save a package, Lieutenant. That
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: tissue was used to wipe a pair of glasses.
• 12:49
  Speaker 11: Who may have it thanks one of the bad boys
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: who pitched in on the Chicago deal with Doyle's, a
• 12:55
  Speaker 11: man named Kerner. The important point of the moment being
• 13:00
  Speaker 11: wise glasses.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: Well, that tissue is mildly flimsy as evidence, but it
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: helps you are thinking, huh, No, No, nobody heard the Shanes.
• 13:09
  Speaker 11: When God was killed. Nah, it's noisy on a train.
• 13:12
  Speaker 11: It may have been going through a tunnel at the time. Well,
• 13:15
  Speaker 11: it's been fun, Lieutenant, but as it could be even
• 13:18
  Speaker 11: more fun, templar, Oh, if you would let me introduce
• 13:22
  Speaker 11: you to Lola, And who is Lola? The kind of
• 13:26
  Speaker 11: girl your mother wouldn't have liked?
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: Well, since I'm not my mother, some other time, perhap spa.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: It m'd be another time. We're booking your own suspicion
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: to murder.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: She went, glasses, mm hmm.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: And the men do make.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Passes being too kind to me.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: She and Doyle were lapping up firewater all evening.
• 13:43
  Speaker 11: She went with him to his compartment this one and
• 13:46
  Speaker 11: she chatted with him for a while and went to
• 13:48
  Speaker 11: her own birth. Nobody saw her at the important times
• 13:51
  Speaker 11: though too bad, it's only suspicion of murder. Well, it's
• 13:55
  Speaker 11: been chummy with lots of crooks, especially jewel crooks.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Sounds like a case.
• 13:58
  Speaker 11: The only trouble is whoever knocked off Doyle is after
• 14:02
  Speaker 11: the diamonds. Lola doesn't have the monor Lucky for Lola.
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: Did the train stop anyone route?
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: Jerkwater town named Hainesville too interesting? But I still like
• 14:14
  Speaker 11: to have you talk to Laura. Why you're pretty and
• 14:17
  Speaker 11: I am?
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: Oh, thank you?
• 14:19
  Speaker 11: You might you might get something out of her. Furthermore,
• 14:22
  Speaker 11: if you do, I'll stop wondering what brought you here?
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: Well, that does it. I couldn't bear to think if
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: you was staying up nights wondering lead me to up.
• 14:30
  Speaker 11: We're keeping her in compartments. See a couple of doors
• 14:32
  Speaker 11: down from here, keep her company. We've got to search
• 14:35
  Speaker 11: everybody on the train.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: Aren't you going to introduce me?
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Just smile at him.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'll do my best.
• 14:41
  Speaker 11: Well, remember the last guy who was alone with her
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: wound up dead?
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: How long that we have to hold up in this room?
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: That long?
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: You just be glad you're off of that train. Yeah,
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: you know, I never we did like cops. But one
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: thing you gotta give him credit for. They know how
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: to search a man. For a while back there, I
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: wasn't sure they were going to leave the skin on me.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Hey, what's the matter, Mitch, I am, I'm wondering where
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: the stones are?
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: Kind of yeah, yes, saw am I They weren't in
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: that compartment. We tore it apart, couldn't find them.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: I didn't.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Now, wait a minute, Mitch, you were with me all
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: the time.
• 15:22
  Speaker 12: Sure, we got on the train, but according to what
• 15:25
  Speaker 12: the cops were thrown out as somebody visited Doyle while
• 15:27
  Speaker 12: you and me split up locating.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Now our birds.
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but we had to take berths in different cars.
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: We'd have been spotted too easy if we hadn't.
• 15:34
  Speaker 12: Sure sure, except with the way it worked out, you
• 15:37
  Speaker 12: could have got the Doyle's compartment before his body was found.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: You could have shut him and ditched the stones something.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Yes, So, my friend, could you would I bring it up?
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: If I you might?
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: You might just to make sure that I didn't. I look, Mitch,
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: there's one thing we know. Neither of us has got
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: the stones on us now, No matter.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Who killed Doyle.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: So, so do you care who killed him?
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: I care about the stone?
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: All right, and let's start using our heads. Huh.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: Doyle reached the station in Chicago with the stones. We
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: figured he'd have him with him all the time, but
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: maybe he arranged to have them reach New.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: York separate from himself.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: You see.
• 16:10
  Speaker 13: Yeah, all right, Now I got an idea.
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: Of where in New York those stones would have to
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: wind up if that's what Doyle did, And that's where
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: that's Doyle's home. So why don't we drop in on
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: missus Doyle and tell her the sad news?
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, that way, we get a seat on the inside.
• 16:29
  Speaker 13: Where we said and wait the company.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: Evening, Lola, or should it be good morning?
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Go away and w everyone should go away and drop dead.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: But you haven't even met me. I'm Simon Temple.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Lola, you can drop dead too. Wait, Simon Temple said,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: that's all a girl on my condition needs go.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: What Lieutenant Flynn told me to smile? I'm smiling.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Doctor West would be proud.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: Oh I don't know. He just gives me the brush
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: every morning.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: You're funny to that, thank you, But I'm slow. I
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: don't want to shake in the train.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: I'll be careful.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Oh this train shake awful?
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Easy?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Ah, it could be I have a hangover.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: Oh were you drinking last night?
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I was drinking.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: Well, a hangover seems plausible.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Then I can think of a lot better words for
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: it than that.
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: For example, yeah, you're in trouble.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: What are you doing practicing to be sir Gallahad? Not exactly,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: because if you are, you're wasting.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Your time about Doyle.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Don't mention him. I can see his face right now,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: have blown up?
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: That's a really accurate description.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Would you mind leaving me and my hangover all alone?
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: But according to want you told the police, you lift
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: him in his compartment alive? Now do you know what
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: his face look like? Dead?
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Get out of here?
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: That don't much. Did you kill Doyle?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: You don't look like my dirry go away?
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Did you kill Doyle?
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Do you believe me?
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: I can't tell as yet. You were after his diamonds?
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Weren't you were?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: It's possible, but I'm not answering that one.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: How did you know what his face looked like after
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: he'd been shot?
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: All right? You got beyond that? So I didn't spiller
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: the cops because I figured I didn't have to, all right, not,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: it's different. I went with Doyle to his compartment. We
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: were both kind of on the trunk side, you know
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: what I mean. Well, anyway, he was drunker than me,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: so I I thought maybe I could pick up a few.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: Carrots, you know, I think so? Yes, So he walked
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: into his compartment.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: It was dark in there. The first thing that happens
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: is dog gets shot. Somebody hits me on the head
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: before I can get a good size scream out.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: You didn't see whodwin?
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: No no. When I came to, I was dead. The
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: compartment has been turned upside down, and I felt rotten.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: If they're fast at lower Birth.
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: Look just like home.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: You could be telling the truth. Lean over.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: What are you gonna do out?
• 19:11
  Speaker 13: Hey?
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: There is a bruise on your head. One of two things,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: either that your story is true or that you were
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: clever enough to acquire that or by yourself.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: It's not the kind of thing I like to go
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: around acquiring.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: I don't know if the police will hold you. I
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: suspect they won't. If they do release you, i'd advise
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: you to be very careful. Avoid diamonds. They're beautiful, but
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: they might be the death of you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: Just a second.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Oh hello, missus Dyer Kerner and Mitch, you mind if
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: we come in?
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: You don't mind? She looks all broken up by grief,
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: don't she, Mitch?
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: All broken up?
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: Is that a new routine?
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: She don't sound like a new widow at all.
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: Did you say you widow?
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: Don't tell me you didn't know? Didn't the cops get
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: in touch with you about what? I guess they didn't.
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: I guess maybe Doyle didn't bother keeping him posted about
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: his home address.
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: Will you tell me what happened?
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Please?
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: Sure somebody took a sudden dislike to your husband, so
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: you're a widow. When two o'clock this morning he was
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: on a train. People die on trains too, you said
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: the police he was murdered, Missus Doyle, He isn't bringing
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: home the bacon?
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: Would you mind leaving?
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: Somebody else may bring it around? We like bacon. I
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: don't just have to put up with us for a while.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: I Mitch, take a look around, see if there's any
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: other entrance to the apartment.
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: Okay, what do you want of me?
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: Mitch and I figure that you're going to have a
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: visitor soon. We want to be in on the welcoming committee,
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: and we ought to figure that it should be a
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: very warm welcome.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Aren't police stations attractive?
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Well, they're useful.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I guess I have you to thank for being able
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: to walk out of there.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: No, forget it, unless, of course, you really kill Doyle.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I never kill a man.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: I like her.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: You might like diamonds even more, but I don't. Well,
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: it's been nice meeting you, Lolla, but I have s.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Remember are you in such a horrid Well.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: I've got a special date a widow.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: What's so special about a widow?
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: I just want to see if she's married.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Hey, Karn, Yeah, time's passion and we got lots of it. Actors, Bolton,
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: all we gotta do.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: Across the mass.
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: You'll be quiet, Okay, we kill the lights and wait
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: the doors are locked, and after a while, Junior out
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: there is going to get impatient by the handle and
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: that the door is open, and walk right and.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: The door.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: Let me wrestle. Friend, this shouldn't take very long. Mad,
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: put the lights on. H you had a glass jaw.
• 22:34
  Speaker 10: Oh S'm so glad, so glad.
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: When you're riding the bell, I was terrified and when
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: the door open. You weren't there.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: You took too long answering the doorbell. I thought maybe
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: something might be wrong, so I kicked the door opened
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: and duck to her side until the firework stopped. This
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: gentleman with the glasses. No one's going to make passes
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: at him either except the coroner. He's dead. The other Mitch, yes,
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: you recover. Colonel was near the door. Mitch fired the
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: guns lying on the floor near him, and he hit
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: Colonel instead of me.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: A very pleasant error, simon.
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: They told me, Jimmy, it's dead. He is he was killed,
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: wasn't he?
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Why he was carrying a tidy parcel of stolen diamonds.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Colonel and Mitch were trying to remove them from him.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Apparently they'd helped in the original theft.
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: So they came here to wait for whom Jimmy. They
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: knew he was dead.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: I think you could use a drink, and not a
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: soft one at that. Where can I find that?
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: Come on, Jimmy kept everything in that time, door.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: Spolted. I'm going to make it easier for our unknown
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: friend outside, went over to a side madge and passed
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: the start trying bullets. Hello, Lola, come in and shut
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: the door behind you. Simon, I'll do it. Then lend
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: me your bag.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Lola.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: You mustn't think I.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: Won't till later.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: M hm.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: No gun, of course not. Oh, you may have your
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: bag back. You also may have dropped the gun someplace else, Madge.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: This is a lady named Lola. Lola missus Doyle.
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: Who is she?
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Sim a girl with a lower berth was.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: Straight into the wrong compartment. Let's go into the living.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Room, Simon.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: I came here because I was afraid.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: For you or for the diamonds.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: No, it wasn't that I The objects on the floor
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: bothering you.
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: Only one of them is dead, this one, mister Kerner.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Nothing interesting in his pockets. As for Mitch Simon, he
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: wouldn't have the jewels, let's say he shouldn't have, but
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: he has.
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: Look rings, necklace.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: Simon, Yes, half a dozen pieces. The only question is
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: are they the things Doyle was bringing in from Chicago?
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: Where's your phone made them? Mitch is starting to come
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: to one of you had better take that gun't hello,
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: Lieutenant Flint point that gun at Mitch if he acts up.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: Don't be delicate.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: When I think of how he made Jimmy look at.
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: Flynn, Simon Templar, would you mind reading off a list
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: of the stolen joels Doyle who was supposed to have
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: on him? That's right now? Mm hmm fine, Oh no, lieutenant,
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: not intellectual curiosity. You see, I have executed those jewels
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: with me, not to mention the corpse and the killer.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: The address is forty nine Marble Avenue, Apartment C H
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: and oh uh, lieutenant, don't hurry. I'm having fun.
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: The jewels you found on Mitchell.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Are part of a Chicago loot. Yes, only one thing
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: bothers me. What's that man? Mitch couldn't have shot Coloner
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: the angles rather the angle? Yes? Besides, why should either
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: of them have their started shooting? They didn't know who
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: would be coming through the door, Simon.
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: I didn't want to get involved, but eye shot Kerner.
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: Mitch was holding his hand over my mouth. I had
• 26:41
  Speaker 10: a hand free. I didn't want them to.
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: Kill you, Simon.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: We're in a unanimous agreement on that. As for Lola,
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: I don't like the way you're looking at me. Oh
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: you imagine standing side by side a very pretty picture.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Now, talk to me about pictures. They got frames around them.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: You just said the stuff you found on Mitch's part
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: of the stuff Doyle had with him on the train.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: That's right, Well, that proves Mitch killed Door and stole
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: the diamond.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: No, it merely proves that the diamonds were not on
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: the train.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Look, I never even got through high school. For me,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: you have to make it a lot.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: Simply, I'll be glad to everyone who walked off the
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: train this morning was thoroughly searched. No one could have
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: got away with the jewels. Therefore, that jewels went on
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: the train, not when it reached New York.
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: It is I think I know what you mean, Simon.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: Yes, probably because you'll go through high school, manage, Hiever.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: Where does that leave us? It leaves us with a start.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: The train made at around two o'clock in the morning
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: at a small town named Haynesville.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I remember that that's where Colonel and Mitch got on.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Doyle tall them he got scared, So that means they
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: gotta be the ones who killed him.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: It uer means something else, Lola. It means that other
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: people could have got on the train at Haynesville too.
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: You mean someone else is involved, someone we don't know about. No,
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: then you'd have searched these other people you mentioned in
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: New York.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: The star over at Haynesville was some how long, Lola.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Ten minutes they switch engines.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Which means that someone could have got aboard the train,
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: shot Doyle, taken the diamonds, and then got off the
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: train at Haines Dowl.
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: But who could have done that?
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: Simon, you madge, that's ridiculous.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: You saw me at midnight, did a very pretty song
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: and dance, and then left. You then took a plane
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: to Haynesville, met the train and your husband there, killed him,
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: and flew back to New York.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: No, it'll be easy to trace the plane.
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: Madge, anyone thinks of it. I have what makes you
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: think I'll let you pass those thoughts on?
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: You won't be able to help yourself. True, you've a gun,
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: but you've already killed two men. Lola doesn't approve of
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: killing men. Lola, I got it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: Simon.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: You better let me have that gun, thank you. You
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: better so that a jurymage, because you'll be seeing one.
• 29:13

  Speaker 1: that would play just as we're returning after the program.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: And that is also a way if you want to
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: advertise in some way with just a brief mention of
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: your website full details our Patreon dot Great Detectives dot net.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: And then we have the Chief of Detectives level, which,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: in addition to the benefits of Master Detective, you can
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: get a free se a sign paperback copies of any
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: currently published novels that I've written that you'd lock, and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: then you'd also get free sign copies of any future
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: books again at your request. You also can record and
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: add for a family friendly business that would air after
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: my commentary that could be about two minutes, and all
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: that subject to host approval. No ads for financial services permitted.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: And you also can nominate a public domain radio program
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: of any genre to be played on the podcast as
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: a special all that subject to host approval and fold.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: And you also will receive one BBC Audio drama download
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: of a single program. So by that I mean we
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: could send you the audio drama Fellowship of the Ring,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: but not the entire season of Yes Minister, because that's
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit more expensive. And you do also get
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: to play a part if we do reach that three
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars level in choosing a new series, and the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Commissioner level you get all the benefits of Chief of Detectives.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Plus you can choose a commissioner special every quarter to
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: be played during the series, and that is the commissioner
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: special is still subject to host approval, and you get
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: two votes on the new series. And I will be
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: honest that the commissioner level is something I adapted from
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: another program. So if I don't actually get anyone to
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: take that level and there's only one spot available, I
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: will probably discontinue it after this listener support campaign full
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Detailspatreon dot Great Detectives dot net. All right, well, finally
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: we do get into listener comments and feedback, and a
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: lot of people sad to see Vincent Price leaving, and
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: so many really enjoyed his performance. Brian writes, really going
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: to miss that wonderful voice. Timothy says, I'm sorry to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: see him go. It has been enjoyable listening to him.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Bobby Lee says, if you remember, I did not care
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: for the show in the beginning. I was a die
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: hard Johnny Dollar fan and did not like any other shows.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I gave him a chance. I hate to
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: see it in and Matt simply says, goodbye, Vincent. Indeed,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: he had a definite legacy and it really did a
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: great job as the Saint. And the only thing to
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: note is there are a lot of lost episodes of
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: his performances of the say and while it's not terribly
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: likely that many from the Mutual era or the CBS
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Radio era will show up, there's still a chance that
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: we may get to hear more lost episodes. If any
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: of those do come up and I'm available and I
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: can play, then we'll certainly revisit this series. All right, Well,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: that will do it for today. If you do have
