0:58
I said i'd talk a little bit more about Gil Gordon's career, and it
1:03
really was a fascinating multifasted one over radio really began in the thirties doing a
1:14
lot of roles for wide variety of radio serials. Played the villain in Speed
1:26
Gibson of the International Secret Police. He played Flash Gordon. He appeared in
1:32
Front Page Drama, which was an early old time radio program, made lots
1:38
of appearances on the Lox Radio Theater and became kind of a key character actor,
1:45
appearing on a lot of shows. Really. In nineteen forty he took
1:51
on the role of Mayor La Trivia and that role in many ways set the
1:57
direction for a lot of his career because he would end up playing a lot
2:01
of these somewhat stuffed shirt authority figures, and he would have roles like that
2:07
in the Great Guilder Sleeve Halls of Ivy, and his best radio role in
2:14
that regard was, of course his osgood Conklin and Armis Brooks. Over television
2:21
he continued the same way a lot of series opposite Lucille Ball, and of
2:24
course he was also the second mister Wilson on Dennis the Menace, but over
2:30
radio a little bit more of a variety, particularly in the early years,
2:34
and certainly a private detective series very different from that. But let's go ahead
2:39
and take a listen out to today's episode of The Case Book of Gregory Hood.
2:43
The Black Museum three brings you a book of Gregory Hood. Tonight.
3:00
The Petrie family, the family that took time to bring you good wines,
3:05
invite you to listen to the story of the Black Museum, another exciting adventure
3:09
from the case Book of Gregory Hoost. And if you don't mind, I'd
3:14
like to ask you to do a little something for me and yourself tomorrow night.
3:19
Along with your dinner. Serve Petrie California Burgundy. Petri Burgundy, you
3:23
know, is a perfect companion for any kind of meat or meat dish.
3:28
It's the red wines, just as rich in flavor as it is in colored.
3:31
It can transform an ordinary meal into a real occasion. Take even a
3:37
simple dish like hamburger steak. Cook that hamburger exactly the way you like,
3:42
rare, medium, well done, fried, barbecued anyway, then serve it
3:46
with a glass of delicious Petrie Burgundy. Why you have a meal that would
3:51
make anyone happy, even a connoisseur. Remember when you serve that Petri Burgundy,
3:55
you can serve it proudly because Petrie is the proudest name and a long
4:00
history of fine wine. Well, it's Monday night in San Francisco and we
4:21
have a weekly date with Gregory Hood to Night's Rendezvous. Is that one of
4:27
us city's oldest and best restaurants. The ord of the Titans, furnishing the
4:30
tasteful, the service, the screeps, and the veal scallipini, so Gregory
4:36
tells me, is incomparable. Let's join Missippi. You are journey mister hood
4:44
of Dark. Yes, he tells me, that life is incompleace. Ntil
4:47
life drives Gallupini fiord of Italian. We do fight ourselves on the dish.
4:53
Follow me, please, mister Botev. Mister Hood always has the same table.
4:57
He came in a few moments ago. This is his stable. But
5:01
where did he go into the kitchen? Perhaps I know he's an amateur cook
5:05
of some note. He's more than lightly the police who sit down. It
5:10
is about tell and I will see if I can find it. Thanks miss
5:12
Leppe, here he comes now. Oh an't in Gregory. Oh, Harry,
5:15
I see battle Litty taking care of you. Thank you about me.
5:17
Say later, Harry, this is quite an occasion. I've got it.
5:21
You've got what the secret. George and Frank manin as they finally broke down
5:25
and gave me the missing link to that Scillapini into the Olli volumes had a
5:28
pinchable Reagan, a whist of time, and then no more than a faint
5:31
murder of top green minutes and the wine. Harry, Ah, that's where
5:34
the fund starts. When you put Gregory right now, our listeners want an
5:40
adventure out of the case book of Gregory hoot, it'll be much more profitable.
5:43
To learn how to cook scallopini. If you're to tell you, Harry,
5:45
crime is common good cooking for questions may be Gregory, but I'll take
5:48
the scalluponi later if you don't mind, for the next half hour has about
5:53
Gregory hood versus the underworld. Well, if you insist, let me see
5:56
what story did I promise you last week? One that you called the Black
6:00
Ah? Yes, yes, that was not adventure, Harris. I suppose
6:02
it really began a couple of months ago in my apartment on nob Hills.
6:05
Andy Taylor and I had a dinner date with some friends and he'd dropped by
6:09
from Martini. I thought I had filled myself with the martinis that night.
6:12
But Sandy thh is my best friend as well as my attorney, is the
6:15
unfortunate victim of an overdeveloped sense of punctuality. After half an hour, he
6:20
was championing at his bit to be off. Finally, with the devilish cunning
6:24
of the season Bachelor, I convinced him that one more martini. He was
6:28
almost all right. Gregory, you when the snap of your arm was positively
6:34
deafening, Sandy, Let's watch the time the Austins are expecting us at seven
6:39
fifteen. They're such nice people that I'm always astonished at their gastronomic indifference.
6:43
Their cook deserves to be stewed in her own culinary juicing. Pleasant thought,
6:46
But she'd need a colossal sauce. That true. True. By the way,
6:49
Sandy, did you know Tim Brady arrived back in time today? Tim
6:53
Brady? Oh? Yes, he's your agent Don in Mexico. Isn't has
6:56
he unearthed any treasures this yet? I haven't seen him yet. He called
6:59
me just before you were all right, that told us to drop by of
7:00
her drink. Don't know what happened to him. Well, he's better hurry.
7:03
Oh that must have him there. Oh Lord, give him a fast
7:05
price, Gregory. There's a martini left. I'll give him that and then
7:08
he can walk down to the car. Hello, Jim, let's see you
7:12
again, Gregory. Oh you ollo Brady. Too bad you arrived so late.
7:15
We've got a rush. We're behind schedule now, Sorry, but I
7:18
got tied up. Can I walk down to the car with you? Just
7:20
what I was going to suggest? In the meanwhile, there's one martini at
7:24
Homeless Not me longer, Gregory. Thanks far things down in Mexico not too
7:29
promising for Gregory of Hood Imported got them and control. Yeah, most of
7:31
the good stuff sewed up and smuggling is not what it used to be here.
7:34
Did you get anything really? Choice? Well, just the one item.
7:38
Gonna say, honey, what did you think of it? So I
7:40
went through your last shipment at the warehouse that I didn't notice anything special?
7:43
And what did you take up Brady on night sacrificial nights. It's a genuine
7:46
pre conquer item of citian blade cop stone handle, and it's guaranteed to have
7:50
been using human sacrifices for the war. God good work times. Of course
7:54
you didn't send it with a regular consignment, no special packaging, but it
7:58
should have been here by now. It sounds like a real fine. Did
8:00
you pay a big price for it? A got it for a song?
8:03
But there's a reason for that. It's previous owner just got himself murdered with
8:05
it. From what I hear they usually do. Huh. The knife's got
8:09
a curse on it. Gregory, whoever has it in his possession is supposed
8:11
to die soon and violently. Dear me follows up on Steel Western, But
8:16
in the meantime, I guess we must be moving the one who walk down
8:18
to the car with us. Oh, sures Gregory, we'll get our hat
8:20
standing with you. I mean I've really got you on your way, wonders.
8:24
We'll never see here's the car, Gregory, Bory wed have to rush
8:39
to him. Well that's okay. I've got a day too. We'll see
8:41
you the office in the morning. Well, I'll go over to the other
8:43
stuff with him. Oh hello, mister Markham. Here ready when you get
8:46
back to town. That's this afternoon. Oh, this is mister Hood.
8:48
That's to tell it. How do you know your greggree Hood? Aren't you
8:52
ahead of the importing firms? Right? I have a neighbor of yours just
8:56
a block down the hill from here. I wanted to meet you. I
9:00
think I've got some stuff that will interest you quite a bit. Gregory.
9:03
Yes, I'm afraid we have to go. Mister Markham. What kind of
9:07
stuff are you referring to? How would you like to see the very hatchet
9:11
with which the broad and murders would commit it? You have it, mister
9:16
markin and more clacious. I think I have one of the finest collections of
9:20
murder weapons in the world. Why not stop by and see them. It
9:22
would only take a few seconds. How about tomorrow, mister Martin, Well,
9:26
I'm afraid I'll be out of town for the next few days. I
9:28
will not come now. Well, Gregory, we can't. Or quarter of
9:31
an hour won't hurt Sandy. Come on, you can figure with missus Olson
9:35
on fault. Oh, Gregory, Here, mister Hood is the carving knife
9:48
which Henry White, to Pete mont Pammer, used to decapitate his wife.
9:52
I remember the case. They never did find her head, did they?
9:54
Strikes me as a rather grizzly hobby, mister Markham, though I'm sure your
9:58
collections prices wouldn't have criminology like myself, mister Taylor, it's far from grizzly.
10:03
Naturally, I knew mister Food's reputation as an amateur detective, and I
10:07
was certain he'd be intercee. I am, I am immense. It's a
10:09
superb black museum. Just think of it. Every one of these choice implements
10:15
have actually tasted human blood, and usually in a celebrated case. And that's
10:18
why I regard the hobby as a grizzly one. You you wouldn't consider selling
10:22
any of these trophies would you, mister Markham selling the print Scott know would
10:26
I'd like to buy more to add to the collection? It concuse me,
10:30
mister Markham? He yes, for what is it? Your wife would like
10:31
to suspeak to you for a moment. He's in the dance very well.
10:35
I'll be back in a moment, gentlemen, I look after my guests for
10:39
I'm Paul Jackson, mister Markham secretary. You are mister Gregory heard answer yes,
10:43
and this is Sandra Taylor. Gregory is now a halftime. As soon
10:46
as mister Markham gets back, will be on our way. Mister Hurd,
10:48
I've got a business proposition to make you well, I'm a businessman. What's
10:52
proposition? You're an unfort with connections all over the world, mister Hoods.
10:56
It has to me that occasionally you would be found to come as something that
11:00
would be a perfect addition to mister Markham's museum. I've just been thinking the
11:03
same thing myself, me too. It would be the first opportunity I've ever
11:07
had to put my interest in murder on a strictly commercial basis. The propositions
11:11
to Jackson, I'd love to handle such a deal on a commission that hardly
11:15
seems ethical. Mister Markham's your employee, and he has more money than he
11:18
knows what to do with. We could jack the price up and split the
11:22
extra three ways. I don't want to appear stuffy, mister Jackson, but
11:24
my firm doesn't do business that way. No dice, my friends. Now
11:28
here he comes an hour with his wife. Please don't be people, I
11:31
said, gentlemen, and I want you to meet my wife, right dear
11:35
Gregory's heard me, Missus Markham, and mister Taylor, how do you do?
11:39
I was telling Howard that I was so anxious to meet you, mister
11:41
Hurd, but I wish you'd warned me when he's saying this is I look
11:45
perfectly awful. You look charming, Missus Markham. But I'm afraid that's we
11:48
must be getting along neglection. Yes, yes, it's destinaly. That's how
11:54
I didn't show you my contribution. He doesn't think it's worthy of the rest
11:58
of the stuff. I mean, and let me show you. Here's this
12:01
the moment. It's never been proven to be your benty, so Howard brought
12:07
let me keep it connection. It's vanished to the study. What is the
12:11
treasure a dating quest. Somebody's supposed to have concert fifty girls and on the
12:16
head with it forty two pips be brought to the study for the test.
12:20
I brought it in China down. Oh is it on the desk? Yeah,
12:26
it's yes. You have to talk about the quest. The bomb is
12:31
scream Okay, let's not talk about him. Well the last enough you have
12:37
yes, yes, and I'm late for it. Now blonde bring white hair.
12:41
And in the late fifties she must have a daughter. She has to
12:45
play chow plans for third place. That's when you want. You have to
12:48
go yes once to drop five O. How it's going to club? You're
12:56
crazy about Howard, aren't you? Oh? Sue the tenantry, the nineteen
13:00
hundred from one, Yeah, welcome. Yes. If I'm not, I'm
13:09
suffering from a rush of epics to the head. Then foot, Yes,
13:16
this moves a man leaving a number and looks at this time? Where good?
13:26
Do you think it's so authentic? I rather doubt it's mister bottom that
13:30
then it's hard to say, Oh, Sandy, what's the time? Seven
13:33
o'clock? Cracker? Ain't that an o'clock stand? You're a dope? Why
13:35
don't you keep an eye on your watch? We're late, all right,
13:48
track, I'll come up to your apartment for John's one glass of port.
13:52
But pot ROAs was worse than usual, and I was in a standing and
13:56
I can't think why even the Austin folks decided that brilliant scene? Is that
14:00
faces for a salad dressing? Oh? It wasn't that grey? Yeah?
14:05
I don't never quite understand you. What makes you say that you're equally tommy
14:09
both to missus Markham, who had all the subtlety of a steamroller, and
14:11
to miss Austen, was really a very nice girl. Obviously you didn't like
14:16
either of us. What kind of a woman do you like? Where's my
14:18
keys? O? Here we are? What kind of a woman do I
14:22
like? Oh? I don't ask much, Sandy, just an off beat
14:26
sense of humor, great use in a certain way with animals that shouldn't be
14:33
too hot, fine nose not. What I had in mind was something like,
14:39
yes, just might easily be someone very nice to you? Who she
14:43
or she's just? And who are you? And how did you get in
14:48
here? It's managed to him service? He thought you might take me to
14:52
stay. That's friendly of him. But I have not come to manasses,
14:58
and you don't have a here to sit down. I have come here to
15:01
warn you about the Knight. What's nice the fact official knife of the which
15:05
approaches the God of wars. That's nice belongs to the followers the God.
15:11
You must not keep it, misterhood. Listen to what did I say?
15:15
Whoever onto knife promises will die? We will die by the Knight? Are
15:20
you sure you haven't reading too many mystery stories? And way not in front
15:24
of me. I've come here to bring you warning. That's very nice of
15:26
you. Who are you? I am? How do you see a saka?
15:33
As I am? And I think I see you? I warn you
15:37
others follow you while you're on the knife with that. If you must threaten
15:43
me, I do wish to sit down with all the more comfortable. That
15:46
is all I have to say. Remember what I have said. Now,
15:48
wait a minute, Joe Bathers has been a one track conversation. Why do
15:52
you have to leave you? So? I want to leave good. I'll
15:54
be back in standing. Why do you follow me or not? You?
16:00
Gentlemen? And seeing you to your card? Who's thinking here? Where do
16:02
you live? I should not tell you what's your phone? Mimes? Douglas
16:06
sixty nine seven seven? What's your other names? Last? And I came
16:08
here, you can't here to try and scare me, And now I'm scaring
16:11
you, fellow. Oh well, let me drive you home. Oh Willa,
16:17
we'll meet again. I promise you will meet again. Should have been
16:32
here a week ago instead of waiting, arrived this morning. Strange things happenings.
16:36
Opened the window when it's stuffy in anyway, it was well worth waiting
16:40
for. It's a beautiful specimen. No, remember what the girl said last
16:42
night, Draggory. Whoever owns the night wrongfully will die? Was that girl
16:48
Gregg, last name, address, telephone number unknown, But she put on
16:52
quite a convincing act. He didn't glam it us herself, though, I'll
16:53
find out if the rupt to it. Oh this is nice excercy. I
17:00
hold it up by the window, Sandy to fetch a lot of money,
17:02
Gregory if I feel it, Markham and probably give his I teth for him.
17:04
It is, and there's his eye teeth undoubtedly detachable. I don't think
17:10
it would do much of a bargain. Look at the blood stains on this,
17:14
probably fifty centuries oh, smut. Somebody chucked a knife through the window,
17:21
and there's an office building opposite. But I see anyone. I didn't
17:23
expect you to. You're dealing with an expert. He only missed me by
17:26
a few inches, hopefully bad to the redwood paneling, though. I see
17:33
a nice as modern Nate, Gregory, But it's the same pattern as the
17:34
one I got in Mexico? Shall I call the police? Oh? Brady,
17:37
this is hood company, but we can take care of it well.
17:40
And what are you going to do? Thanks this unknown individual for tossing me
17:42
a nice new import for free, and plan to thank him in person as
17:47
soon as possible. Gregory is I'm crazy about riding in the open section of
18:04
these table cars? Good so am I? But we've been up knob Hill
18:07
twice and down at once. This is the second trip down. Where is
18:10
it's getting it up and down knob Hill? Table cars are conducive to clear
18:15
thinking. I think I've been thinking. Man get rid of that sacrificial night,
18:18
the only sensible thing to do. And you've got a perfect market.
18:22
You mean mister Markham's Black Museum. Sure, I know, Sandy, but
18:25
there's something about this whole business that smacks the fourth rate melodrama, Gregory.
18:29
I'd say turn the case over to the police and sell the knife to Mark
18:32
and admit that I'm scared. No, standy, that isn't what I've mentioned
18:34
to another night thrown after Gregory? Is this time it is really close?
18:41
Then? The fourth rate melodrama or not. I'm beginning to think I'm unpopular.
18:53
That's Dixon. Take this letter please here, mister Harris, with regard
19:00
to your letter of the sixteenth instant, as attorney for the firm of Gregory
19:04
Hood Importers, I hereby give notice, and your receipt of this registered letter
19:10
will acknowledge such notice. Whereas the party of the first Oh, yes he's
19:18
right here, thank you. Mistake, Yes, Gregory, Sandy, I'm
19:22
phoning from a bar. Oh, very unusual. Yes, this is sady.
19:27
Let me tell you something. I phone lock him. He's crazy to
19:30
buy the sacrificial knives. Good sell it, Gregory. But I had a
19:32
bright idea supposing this guy was purchasing me with knives, decides to take a
19:36
crack a box. If we shall, then it would weld. Don't worry,
19:40
Gregory, I'll work out out formal waiver of damages or something. I'm
19:42
glad you've come to your senses, though, and decided to sell. I
19:45
haven't come to Sandy. I just wanted to know what Gregory's I heard a
19:49
man scream. I hope not Gregory. Gregory Gregory. You'll hear the rest
20:07
of gregory hood story in just a second. So in the meantime, I'm
20:11
going to tell you about a white wine that's really marvelous with chicken. The
20:15
wine is Petrie California So Turned. Petri So Turn is a delicate, subtle
20:22
wine, beautifully golden in colored. One sip and you'll know that you've discovered
20:26
the kind of wine you've long looked for. And let me tell you,
20:30
Petri So Turn is not only great with chicken. Wait did you serve it
20:33
with fish or any other kind of seafood? It's just about well, I've
20:40
sort of run out of words. You just taste Petri so Turn yourself and
20:44
you'll know how good it really is. Remember, there are lots of wine,
20:48
so be sure you get a good wine. Always gets a Petrie wine.
20:53
Well, it was a fine place to lead me, Cliff Haying,
20:56
Were you killed Gregory this early in the series, Oh, Harry, by
21:00
a happy work of faith. I wasn't too. Oh, I'm so glad
21:03
that Sandy was worried, though he was. He tried unsuccessfully to trace the
21:07
call and waited anxiously until I called him back. Yes, Gregory, you're
21:12
scared the daylight, thought him. Sorry. I caught it back soon as
21:15
that good. Well, what happened? Another night? Prone at you?
21:18
Yes? But this time an they bring barfly lets in front of me.
21:19
That was the yelp you must have heard. Did it get him? Take
21:22
his shoulder? Nothing serious except that he might sign the plane. It made
21:26
me mad. It's giving me an idea. I think I know how to
21:29
settle this business now, Gregory, leave it alone, or at least let
21:30
me okay, okay, counselor you're enough beat me at Sam Macklin's office for
21:36
happen out? Who's Sam Macklin? What the heck do you tell you?
21:40
When I see you? Well, Sam House business, greg and business ain't
21:51
what he used to me. I don't think it ever has been. What
21:53
can I do for you this time? Greg You're chasing down the phone number
21:56
of another ballet dancer. I do want to find a dance, I assure
22:00
you it's strictly business this time. Hm. Well, I'll see what I
22:03
can do. I want the addresses of any female Spanish dancers now in San
22:07
Francisco. Spanish dancers, I can find you one hundred Mexican No, no
22:11
sam real Spanish dancers, not Mexicans. Okay, I will do my book,
22:15
and while you're at it, see if you can track down any knife
22:18
throwers for me. Spanish dancers and knife throwers. Gregory, my boy,
22:25
your taste is certainly changing, Gregory, why are we doing the round to
22:40
the night? I'm trying to catch the right floor show, the one that
22:42
has a certain Spanish dancer. But I think we will recognize where does the
22:45
Spanish dancer fit into the picture of records. That girl Pillar, the so
22:49
called Aztec priestess, descried to scare me last night. I have a hunch
22:52
she's a dancer. What makes you think that? Well, at first,
22:55
when I heard that luscious voice, I thought you might have been a singer.
22:57
But when I saw the way she moved around and how she skimmed down
23:00
the stairs, I changed my mind. Yes and day, I have a
23:03
definite hunt. She's a dancer. One thing is certain. He's obviously not
23:07
an as say, how do you figure that one? Not great? Right?
23:08
She said, how do you say in English? A taker? As
23:12
taka? She gave the z a th eight sound. That's Castilian, Spanish,
23:18
Mexican or any Spanish American would say as taker. So she's a phony,
23:22
and that's why we're calling the night club trying to find it. I
23:25
hope she can lead us to whoever's at the back of this night's throwing business.
23:27
Well, we've seen three Spanish dancers so far, you've made two dates.
23:32
I hope this is the right place now, Ah, it is it
23:38
is. Let's we setting out in the spotlight, Sandy. It's the same
23:41
girl, all right. How as soon as her numbers over, we're going
23:42
to persuade her to take a cab ride with us to the officers are putting
23:45
company. And I bought it? What men, why are you take me
24:00
from the club? It must downstair kemp to night. Oh don't worry,
24:03
Palla, I'll get you back there in time and stay to watch you.
24:06
Right now, we want information who hired you to come up and try and
24:10
scare me last night? It would not be there to tell you he turned
24:12
me. It was only a joke, and he takes me away. It
24:15
would not be right to give the joke away. Listen to La, I'm
24:18
a lawyer, and I assure you you're not mixed up with a joke.
24:19
You're mixed up with attempted murder. Not Oh no, sure, you must
24:25
believe me. You are right. They just answer my questions and you'll be
24:29
all right. It's try to murder me through apparently, though of course they
24:33
really after someone else. How'd you figure that burger if they were really after
24:36
me? No expert knighte thrawers that have failed in three attempts. Therefore,
24:40
the whole act of sending Pala with the warning and the knight thrawing was a
24:41
deliberate plan to scare me selling the knife fairs, Now, who would be
24:45
the obvious customer? Mister MARKT sure? So what we've uncovered now is a
24:49
plan to murder Mark them. I understand it now. By making the killing
24:53
seem to hinge on the knife, it cast suspicion away from a personal motive
24:56
for killing Mark. Every perver of you that Gregory, if I may say,
25:00
you may send it, please me to I do not understand what you
25:04
bought to talk about I'll explain it at suffer La. Now just tell me
25:08
who hired you. I do not know his name and I hardly say s
25:11
face. He came to the club and spoke to me outside the stage doors.
25:15
It was very dark. I would not to him again, but you'd
25:18
know his voice, Tiller, I wouldn't you. Oh yeah, I never
25:21
forget a voice. Then we'll say, Gregory, why are we going to
25:23
your office instead of Markham's house. You know my methods and me as well
25:27
as you do, which is that you make him up as you go along.
25:32
All right, but you do recall one of my basic ideas. Find
25:34
out what you want to know, then see the guy that knows it.
25:37
That's why we're going to the office right now. I want to see our
25:40
Mexican experts him. Brady, Well, that's the situation to him. Somebody
25:53
is scheming to murder Markham. Doesn't seem possible. Yes, have you any
26:00
idea? Who's the back of it? All right? Tilla? Now here
26:03
are mister Brady? You heard me? Hi? Reckon? Thank your voice?
26:07
Are you crazy? Brady? She is? It had to be him
26:11
because Pilla approached me with the warning before I got the knife at that time.
26:15
You were the only man in California who knew that I was going to
26:17
receive an ancient sacrificial knife. You didn't foresee the delay, Gregory, You're
26:21
nuts. What possible motives could I have? You know the Markham if you
26:25
introduced me, and the motive for any man of average susceptibility is obvious enough.
26:29
After you've met missus Markham. Very ingenious. You could bring in Tilar
26:33
as a witness of court. Will Brady and my old pale Lieutenant Silvers at
26:37
the San Francisco Police has put a tracer out for me for night brawers.
26:41
I imagine you told the man who threw the knives that it was a joke
26:42
too, this business of throwing near missus the final knife that would not have
26:48
missed Markham. I imagine you planned to wield yourself. You're making a good
26:51
case, Gregory, But of what No crime has been committed, Yes,
26:55
all of otters a detective who forced all the murder for a chase. But
26:57
it seems to lave me and not quite Tim. That man who was wounded
27:02
in the bar and the knife nicked in this afternoon infection set him. He
27:04
died in the hospital an hour ago. I'm afraid of the murder charge.
27:07
Brady, he died. Okay, you're the only one to go up.
27:17
That's a honey, knocked him out. Told and and to think that I
27:21
selected that you had to represent our Mexican interest. I call the police,
27:23
Sandy, when you went right away. You did not hurt yourself, be
27:26
though, No, just ruse my knuckles a Sandy. Tim pulled a gun
27:30
on as I imagine, we can book him on the source of intention to
27:33
commit murder country. Sure, but this man that cried, Gregory, why
27:37
didn't you tell me? Because I only dreamed it up just now. It
27:38
seems the one way to make Tim joy his hands. Gregory, you're completely
27:44
unprincipal. Sure, I think you're wonderful. When Tim pulled that gun just
27:49
now you called me, Gregory, why go back to mister yare But please
27:56
must take me back to my club soon. Just as soon as the police
27:59
get here, Bill, the two of us take you back, and later
28:02
on tonight we will really show you the town. Oh not me, Gregory.
28:04
I'm going home to marry and the children. Give me police record,
28:07
then plan and I will do the town alone. It's the date sella very
28:11
much. You red, Well, that story was a duty, Greg.
28:34
But there's one thing I'd like to know. I'd like to know if if
28:38
I kept my dates of pillar. Yeah, that's right, But you know
28:44
I was going to ask that everybody else does, why not you? And
28:48
I can tell you that your next question is going to be, so what's
28:51
your i's phone number? Right? And your answer, as they say at
28:55
the phone company, I'm sorry, we cannot devout that information. Okay,
29:00
okay, let's order dinner and forget good? Shall we try the scilipedi?
29:03
George T Are you sure? Let's see wine? Shall I order? As?
29:10
If you don't know? All right? Go ahead kid me. But
29:12
you know as well as either that we can't mess with Petrie wine. Sure
29:17
why? The Petrie family has been making wine for generation. The art of
29:22
making fine wine is their heretic, a heritage, hand it on down from
29:26
father to son, from father to son. No wonder Petrie wine is so
29:32
good, and no wonder the Petrie business is grown and grown so that today
29:37
the Petrie family are America's largest independent wine making Yes, the making of Petrie
29:42
wine is a family affair, and the Petrie family intends to keep it that
29:47
way, because by so doing they can be sure that every bottle of wine
29:52
that bears the name Petrie is and always will be good wine. Well,
29:59
Gregory, what story out of your case book are you planning to tell us
30:02
next week? A little tale that concerns the date at the top of the
30:04
mark Hoskins was killed and a certain gunman by the name of lem Carter who
30:08
was convinced that I'd looked so much better as the course. See you next
30:12
Monday, Harry. The Case Book of Gregory Hood is written by Dennis Green
30:33
and Anthony Barker. Original music is composed and played by Dean Foster. Gail
30:40
Gordon plays the part of Gregory Hood, and Sanderson Taylor is played by Art
30:45
Gilmore. The Battery Wine Company of San Francisco, California invite you to tune
30:55
and again next week, same time, same space. The Case Book of
30:59
Gregory Heard coming to you from Hollywood, Kidio. This is Harry Bartel saying
31:07
good night for the Petry family. Welcome back. I guess I got a
31:14
reminder of the power of radio as I was sitting here kind of feeling very
31:22
grossed out by the Black Museum, which was not actually there was just reading
31:26
a radio script, but I was just kind of like, oh, that's
31:30
ikey. But it's really does kind of establish the character of Gregory Hooding.
31:41
You can kind of see certainly the character's definitely a connoisseur and with very particular
31:49
taste, but not quite a snobbish, which I think makes an interesting character.
31:56
All right. Well, oh and I also love the joke about when
32:01
Harry Bartell asked him did you get killed? Which was obviously an absurd question,
32:07
and his answer was equally absurd. What this early in the series was
32:13
cute. All right, Well, that'll do it for today. Join us
32:15
back here tomorrow and we'll continue on with the Star of Cape Town Matter.
32:21
And we'll be back next Tuesday with another episode of the Casebook of Gregory hood
