3:45
brought to you by a new postwar old Dutch cleanser. Our story opens
3:50
in Bancloft Hall, the ancestral home of the great nineteenth century man of letters,
3:53
Joshua Bancroft. An elderly woman, moaning in pain, drags herself across
3:59
the old fashioned library to the telephone and dials with a trembling and uncertain handplayer.
4:08
Hope rator gets me the police. Harry, Hello, this is Julia
4:16
Bancroft, Bancroft Hall. We've been odds, I've been seting. Have you
4:34
seen the afternoon paper, Patsy? Not yet? Why the nasty piece of
4:38
business at Bancroft Hall Last night Victoria Bancroft was murdered, her sister Julia badly
4:43
beaten. Oh me, how horrible. They're old Joshua Bancroft's granddaughters, aren't
4:47
they great granddaughters? And and their brother lived together at Bancroft Hall. Why
4:51
would anyone want robbery? The murderer store the original manuscript of Joshua Bancroft's first
4:58
book of essays. Oh that's worth thousands of dollars, probably just about as
5:02
valuable as any of the original manuscripts of Emerson nor Thoroh Darling. Nick Carter's
5:09
office, Patsy Bone speaking. This is Arthur Haskell, is mister Carter there,
5:13
please Jack a moment. It's to you, Nigga, mister Arthur Haskell
5:16
Art Haskell. Hello, Hello, Nick Hard It is you. How are
5:20
you? I must see you, NICKI today? Impossible, it's important.
5:25
Why what's up? I'd rather not discuss it on the telephone. Will you
5:30
come to my store this evening after closing time? Why? Of course?
5:32
How's eighty part? Good? Good? I'll be looking for you. Well,
5:38
that's friends. Who's Arthur Haskell? Who's an old friend of my father's.
5:41
I've known him since I was a kid owns the Haskell bookstore, deals
5:44
in rare books and old manuscripts. Nay, isn't that a funny coincidence that
5:48
he should call just when we're discussing the Bancroft robbery. I wonder whether it
5:55
is a coincident. Hello, Art, was good of you to come.
6:13
I'd let me introduce you my sectary. That's it. Go on, how
6:15
do you do, miss Born. I'm glad to know you. Come in,
6:18
Come in, both of them. Yeah, let's go back to my
6:23
office. It's in the rear of a storm. I haven't forgotten that.
6:27
Be careful, eh, shot the dark in here? Yes, I didn't
6:30
want our meeting to attract too much attention. So that sounds mysterious, mister
6:34
Haskell, what I have to tell you is even more mysterious. That's all.
6:42
Here we are, sit down, Nick. Thanks, Now, what's
6:49
happened? You read in the paper? I suppose about the theft of the
6:54
bankrupt manuscript? Yes? What about it? Well? You find this hard
6:59
to believe it, But yesterday just stare outside, Nick, shooting through the
7:09
window. I can just sneak up, Nick, stay away from there.
7:15
Look, sorry, see anyone web It was like going. Now find the
7:23
light. Swiss Petrick was by the door. Yes, here it is,
7:28
Nick got wonder whether he's heart Yes, Bessy, he's dead. Everything's so
7:47
old and musty. Well, I'll bet no one's even opened the window and
7:51
bands on horse and Jospha Grandcraft dies. Here's the library. Butther said,
7:57
we find Julia in here. Well, you can tell us if there's a
8:00
connection between Haskell and the Bankroft manuscript. Miss Bancroft, Yes, you're mister
8:11
Carter in Missbury. Yes, forgive me for not getting my doctics. I
8:16
can't move from miscount. Of course, we understand the Spankraft sit down,
8:22
Thank you. I'm so glad. Of course I know if anyone can find
8:26
the man who killed my sister, so a great grandfather's manuscript, you can,
8:31
Miscart say, the man who killed your sister? You certain it was
8:37
a man? Oh I see. Now tell me what time did the robbery
8:41
take place, Miss Bancroft. It was about ten thirty. I was in
8:46
my room on the second floor when I heard the Victoria's scream. I started
8:52
down the stairs and then there was a shot, I see, and then
8:56
I rushed into the room. Did I step through the arch. I was
9:01
stuck on the head two or three times with what do you know, miss
9:05
Bankroft. Yes, yes, the base of that desk lamp over there,
9:11
That's all I remember until I came to Then I saw the safe opens the
9:16
manuscript was darning. Victoria was, well, let's see you just a minute.
9:26
What are you doing in those drap frees, mis dacatas? And you
9:33
do kata. I don't know who you are, but the next time you
9:35
hid behind drapery, but sure your feet don't show. Mister Carter, this
9:39
is my brother, Taylor Bancroft. I. I was just coming in to
9:43
get a book. Well you what book? What book? Why? Never
9:46
mind? I had one more question to ask you, miss Bankrost. Yes
9:50
you any idea who could have done this? Why anyone might have done it?
9:54
So many people knew of great grandfather's manuscript, and nearly every one knew
10:00
that it was kept here bru enough. But no ordinary fate would steal a
10:03
rare old manuscript, stolen by a person who knew how to dispose of it.
10:07
Well, there are several people here in the city. You know a
10:09
great deal about old books. So happened to know the names of any particular
10:13
individuals. Well, yeah, I know who would know, Julia Carvin Lighten,
10:18
Professor van Lightens. Yes, he's the best known authority in the field.
10:22
I'm sure he did ned to h thank you, miss Bancroft. I
10:26
think I'll pay him a visit right now. So you think only someone who
10:37
knows enough about the rare books to dispose of the Bancroft manuscript would have stolen
10:43
it? There, mister Capper exactly. Professor van Lighten, who suggested that
10:46
you could give me the names of a few such people to check on flyers,
10:48
I think I can. If you've an excuse me, I'll go to
10:52
my study. All I read out of this for you appreciate yourself. Gosh,
10:58
look at all those books, Nike, Yes, Betsy, there it
11:01
is is a famous Vanliden library, thousands of books worth hundreds of thousands of
11:05
dollars. While that's a Gooden big Bible, and that last case there God
11:09
and up here on this show these are art. That's funny. What is
11:16
You wouldn't think Professor van Leyden would be so careless? Oh? A couple
11:18
of volumes upside down? Uh? Yeah, I want to be mine if
11:22
I turned them right side up. I don't imagine any what mm hm oh,
11:26
what is it? There's something struck in by happy books. This looks
11:30
like oh, let's say it. Petsy here, great Scott, do you
11:37
know what this is? What me? This is what we're looking for the
11:41
Joshua Bancroft Manuscript. In amazement and disbelief making Patsy's stare at the bulky sheet
11:52
of yellowing pages, the precious manuscript has been found, but as make himself
11:56
realizes, this serves only to deepen the mystery of Bancroft Hall. We'll see
12:01
what happens in just a minute. Next time you get a household cleanser,
12:05
remember this the first major cleanser improvement since the introduction of Old Dutch's famous cleaning
12:11
ingredient seismatite is activated. Seismatite. Yes, Scientists, by an exclusive new
12:16
process have activated seisma tite to give new post war Old Dutch cleanser a new
12:22
past action, new almost effortless ease, a new snow white appearance. So
12:28
get new postwar Old Dutch cleanser made with activated seisma type and see if it
12:33
doesn't clean in less time with less actual rubbing than any other cleanser you've ever
12:37
used, new postwar old Dutch cleanser, and the same familiar package carries the
12:41
good housekeeping seal of approval. Now back to the case of the priceless pose
12:50
to day's adventure with Nick Carter, brought to you by a new postwar old
12:54
Dutch gleanser, and we pick up our story a few minutes of past since
12:58
Nick and Patsy discus the Joshua Bancroft manuscript hidden behind some books in Professor Van
13:03
Ryden's library. The professor is just returning from his study here, mister Carter,
13:09
I have made a list of a few people you might want to talk
13:11
to right now, Professor, you're the only person I want to talk to.
13:15
Yes, Professor, we down the Bankraft manuscript. I see, And
13:18
you believe that it was I who broke into Bancroft Hall, stole the manuscript,
13:22
killed Victoria Bancroft, and beat your her sister, Well didn't you?
13:28
Of course I didn't. I came by the manuscript quite innocently. I was
13:31
about to buy it from whom from a friend of yours, Arthur Haskell.
13:35
Arthur Haskell, I don't believe it. It's the truth. Miss Paul Haskell
13:39
stopped by here only day before yesterday and to let me examine it. I
13:43
was about to call draw in for the purchase when I heard that it had
13:46
been stolen from Bancroft Hall the night before. Why didn't you know ify the
13:50
police that you had it? But frankly, I was frightened, mister Carter,
13:54
particularly I heard of Haskell's death. I realized that I had no proof
13:58
of how the manuscript came into my possess, and Arthur didn't tell you how
14:01
it had come into his possession. No, how much were you going to
14:03
pay him for it? I was prepared to offer seventy three thousand dollars seventy
14:07
three thousand, Who, professor, why exactly seventy three thousand? Well?
14:13
I did considerable investigating in the matter about six weeks ago, and something in
14:16
Clary's I made I feel that seventy three thousand is about what a team collector
14:20
would pay for the manuscripts today. Why were you so interested in the bankrupt
14:24
manuscript six weeks ago? I rustled? I appraised us as a favorite to
14:28
mister Arnold Gibson. Who's Arnold Gibson a Stuckgoger here in the city, an
14:33
old friend of the Bancoff family, or so he said. Did he say
14:35
why he wanted it to praise? No, he did not, but he
14:39
seemed to feel it was very urgent next something to have me. It's urgent
14:43
that we see this Arnold Gibson. Right, Percy, Professor, with your
14:46
permission, I'm taking this manuscript with me. It's evidence and one or perhaps
14:50
two murder cases. I understand. Mister Corser, Thank you, Bets.
14:54
You go back to the office. I'm going to pay another visit to Bankrft
14:56
Hall. So what am I going to do at the office? Nick?
14:58
You're going to put the man and the script in our office safe and leave
15:01
it there. We're not carrying seventy three thousand dollars worth of pros around on
15:05
our luggage compartment. Then you found it already, only tercard. That's wonderful.
15:18
Where is the manuscript now, mister Carter? In the safe in my
15:20
office, Mister Bancroft, I'm holding it for the police. Tell me,
15:26
do you know Arnold Gibson. Arnold Gibson, Arnolds and no friend of a
15:30
family. Mister Carter, what is he to do? With this, Could
15:31
either of you authorize him to seek an appraisal of your great grandfather's manuscript six
15:35
weeks ago? No, certainly not. Why you don't need to pay he
15:39
Van Lyden, says Arnold Gibson asked him to determine the current market value of
15:43
the manuscript. That's incredible. Why would he have done such a thing.
15:46
I'm sure I don't know, Miss Bankcroft. That's one more thing I'd like
15:50
to ask of you. The safe from which the manuscript was stolen behind that
15:54
picture over the mattle, isn't it? Yes? He picture slide that show
15:58
him very well, Judia. How many people knew the combination of the safe?
16:07
Just too Victoria and myself. You don't know what, mister Bancroft.
16:11
Now, Victoria never trusted me enough to give it to me. Being the
16:15
elder sister, she looked upon great grandfather's manuscript as her personal property. Yes,
16:21
she told you the combination of brincles. Yeah, but only because she
16:26
felt someone else should know it, and didn't he event anything happened to her.
16:30
I see, thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm
16:33
going to pick up miss Bourne and play a call on Arnold Gibson. Oh,
16:45
slow down, Nick, isn't that the pop you owned up? Behead
16:48
Ronald Gibson lives. Oh, yes, I think it is. I know
16:52
you're turning around here. Might as well park over here right? Careful crossing
16:57
the street? Fan, I'm watching? Come on? Hey wait, Patchy,
17:00
Wait? What a car coming? Boy? Is he traveling crazy?
17:06
He's driving on the wrong side of the street. Drunk He's head Get back
17:10
back to behind that car. Jump. Oh great, that was close,
17:18
Nick, was car deliberately try to run us down? That's obvious? Did
17:22
you think what was? I was too busy getting out of the way.
17:25
Me too, Nick, I bet someone was trying to keep us from talking
17:30
to Donold Gibson. Maybe so makes me all the more interested in meeting the
17:33
gentlemen. Oh shut down, miss Boone and mister Carter. Thank you,
17:47
mister Gibson cigarette. Miss Carter, no thanks. There's a special brand I
17:51
have made for my customers. They're called Arcadias. I'm sorry, I don't
17:56
you I see. Well, what can I do for you? That's a
18:00
Gibsen You can tell us why you at Professor Van Lyden to ascertain the market
18:03
price of the Bancroft manuscript? Why and just what business is it of yours?
18:08
Who murders? Make it my business? Even though the manuscript has been
18:11
recovered, Oh, you've got it back, I have safely stowed away in
18:15
my office safe. Oh are you going to tell me what I want to
18:18
know? Corner? I had the Bankroft manuscript for praise because I was tired
18:25
of waiting for the money Taylor Bangcroft ows me. Bancroft owes you money,
18:29
fifty five thousand dollars, a lot of money. Taylor was playing them martt
18:33
he lost, didn't have the money to cover. I advanced it for it,
18:37
and you wanted to find out whether he could raise enough on the manuscript
18:40
to pay you bank last rifeless Carr. I see, thank you, mister
18:45
Gibson. Not so all? All right, that'sy. Shall we go?
18:48
I'm taking you home. I'm going over to the Athletic Club, the Atlantic
18:52
Club. What for think A good brisk rub down'll do me good and a
18:56
good night's sleep and I'll be ready for another busy day tomorrow. All right,
19:14
all right? Take it easy. Hello, Oh Patsy, what time
19:22
is it? It's nine fifteen the office. Something terrible has happened, Nick,
19:25
don't tell me. Let me guess. The Bancroft manuscint has been stolen.
19:27
Yes, someone broke it here last night. They blew the safe,
19:30
blew it. Huh, Sure they blew it, Nick, what'd you say?
19:36
I said? Good? How I found out when I wanted to know?
19:37
Hold everything, Patsy, I'll be right down. How can you be
19:48
so calm? In the Bancroft manuscript has been stolen again. For one thing,
19:52
it hasn't been stolen. What you look in the state in my private
19:55
office, that new burglar group one there last year, you'll see that it's
19:59
still there. To make I put it in the old space the way you
20:02
told me to. Yes, I know. But after I left you last
20:04
night, I came back here. I took the cover sheet of the manuscript
20:07
and put it over a bundle of blank pages. I figured the thief had
20:11
been too big a rush to notice that he was stealing a dummy. But
20:14
I put the manuscript itself in the newsat then you expected the manuscript to be
20:18
stolen. I hope it would be. That's why I took care to mention
20:22
in front of every single suspect in the case. That's where it was hidden,
20:25
puts me quiet on earth. Oh wait a minute, what are you
20:30
looking at me? This astray by a chair here? Wasn't he when I
20:33
left last night? It wasn't. And there's only been one person in the
20:37
office since, the person who stole a dummy manuscript and this cigarette thought must
20:41
have been left by that person. But says Arcadie on it, that's the
20:45
brand Donald Gibson offered me last night. It must have been where I'll get
20:48
it? Hey, Carter speaking. Oh hello, Maddie, what what's that?
20:59
I see? Yeah? It does, isn't it? All? Okay,
21:04
Maddie? Thanks for calling Nick, He says. The case of the
21:08
bankrupt manuscript is solved. So police just found Donald Gibson did out on Riverside
21:17
Road. Apparently his car skidded and went over an embankment. That solve a
21:22
chase. They also found the dummy manuscript was in the car with him,
21:26
so that not quite see what do you mean that's your hat? But where
21:30
are we going? To the morgue? I want to take a look at
21:33
Arnold Gibson's body. Hurry up, Nick, I don't like morgs all right,
21:47
thought, so well, why are you so interested in Gibson's hands and
21:49
skeets. Listen, remember when Gibson offered me a cigarette last night and I
21:52
refused. Well, Gibson didn't take one either. In fact, he didn't
21:56
smoke the whole time we were with him. You mean, I mean that
21:57
he didn't smoke at all. It's not a yin of a nicotine stain on
22:00
his teeth or fingers. He said he had those cigarettes made for his customers.
22:04
He didn't say for himself, right, Percy, cigarette stub in the
22:07
office was just a plant to throw a suspicion on Gibson. And Gibson must
22:11
have been murdered, correct, And I know who murdered him to do,
22:15
And I've also got a pretty good idea who murdered Victoria bankrupt. Confident that
22:25
he has solved the mystery, and Nick turns away from the body of Arnold
22:27
Gibson, we'll bring you the conclusion of today's adventure in just a minute.
22:32
Ladies, the first chance you get take hold of package of new post war
22:36
old Dutch cleanser made with activated seismatite. Try it and see if it doesn't
22:40
clean in less time with less rubbing than any other cleanser you've ever used.
22:45
Actually, you'll thrill to the new almost effortless ease in cleaning with new postwar
22:49
old Dutch thanks to activated seismatite. It cleans polishes with a smooth gliding action
22:56
that means less work less rubbing. Notice the new miracle eye speed with which
23:00
activated seisma tite cuts grease and cleans away dirt and stains in both hard and
23:04
soft water. Yes, and you post war old Dutches now snowy white,
23:10
winces away quickly when cleaning is done. It's utterly different. Call quiet,
23:14
compare it. Get you postwar old Utch cleanser made with activated sizematite for faster,
23:21
easier cleaning. Now for the conclusion of the case of a priceless pose,
23:29
Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by a new post war old
23:33
Dutch cleanser. After leaving the morgue, Nick and Patsy's fat swiftly across the
23:38
town and stands now at the door of the old mansion known as Bancroft Hall.
23:42
Bring the doorbellagaan pass, I think I hear someone coming. Oh good,
23:49
good eating, Miss Bancroft, your brother at home, Taylor why,
23:53
Yes, he's in the library. Won't you thank you? Taylor? Yes,
24:00
Julius, did you want to see me? I want to see you,
24:04
bankruft, OHCQ about about murder, mister cusion? You want accusing Tim?
24:11
I'm accusing him of the murder of Raza Haskell and Donald Gibson. Is
24:15
it the look on your brother's face, I'd say he doesn't agree with you,
24:18
Bankrupt. You made your big mistake when you blew my safe and left
24:21
that cigarette stub in my office to frame Gibson. Did I catter? You
24:23
did because Gibson had those cigarettes made for his customers, and of all the
24:27
people involved in this case, you were the only one who was the customer
24:30
of his. You're round, Carter. My mistake was in not running you
24:33
and Miss Bowen down in front of Gibson's apartment. Yah, but I can
24:37
undo that mistake right now, Oh Taylor, put away that pistol. Well,
24:41
I didn't think you'd cracked so easily. Bankrupt, down on that couch,
24:45
Carter, you too, Miss Bowen, very well. You realize,
24:51
of course, you can't go on killing people indefinitely. I've killed three people,
24:55
Miss Carter. A couple more will make little difference. Three, I
24:59
didn't accuse you, of well I did. Nonetheless, you killed Victoria Toy,
25:06
Yes, Julia, I killed it. He came into the library just
25:08
as I was opening the safe to get the manuscripts. Then you came in
25:12
and I struck you, and you had to kill Haskell to keep him from
25:15
telling me from whom he brought the manuscript. And last night, after you
25:18
stole the manuscript from my office, you met Gibson and gave him the manuscript
25:22
in place of the money you owed him after he gave you a receipt for
25:25
it. Just slugged him and wrecked his car to make it look as if
25:27
he'd been killed in an accident. Right on all counts, Carter, Now,
25:30
if you will excuse me, I'm afraid I can't excuse you yet.
25:33
Bankrupt put down that self a fellows, get you in the name. Oh
25:45
are you hurt? Just a minute, Miss Bancroft, want to ask your
25:48
brother to do me a favor. What do you mean, Carter? Open
25:51
that's safe above the mantle, just the way you say you did it the
25:52
night of the robbery. Go on, open it. I can't cat why,
25:57
I don't know the combination. That's what I thought. It was you
26:00
who killed Haskell and Gibson. All right, but you didn't steal the manuscript
26:03
from this safe. Then who did, mister Cardie? Who did? Why
26:08
you miss Bancroft, And it was you who murdered your sister Victoria. Okay,
26:25
Maddie, thanks for calling. Well, Patsy, that's that. Julia
26:29
Bancroft just dictated the statement. She confessed that she killed Victoria. Yeah,
26:33
pretty much the way I figured it. She stole the manuscript and then took
26:37
it down and sold it to our Haskell. The next day, when Victoria
26:40
accidentally discovered that was gone, she was curious. Of course, she accused
26:45
Julia of taking it. That was a fight. In a fit of temper,
26:48
Victoria struck Julia with the lamp face, and Julia in turned shot and
26:52
killed Victoria and framed the whole story of the robbery. Right, But why
26:55
did Julia take it? Me? It was Taylor, who was in debt
26:57
to Gibson, drew enough, Patsy. By What Gibson didn't know was that
27:00
Julia was the one who had prodded Taylor into playing the market. Oh see,
27:04
In fact, I see everything except how you figured out it with Julia.
27:08
Well, I got my first clue to that when the old safe here
27:11
in our office was blown open. What did that provement? To prove that
27:14
the killer wasn't a safe cracker or professional fee If he'd opened the safe in
27:18
Bancroft Hall just by his sense of touch, he'd certainly done the same thing
27:22
here. But he didn't use an explosive precisely. And that told me that
27:26
the person who took the manuscript out of the Bancroft safe must have known the
27:29
combination. I get it, And I got to thinking about our Castle's last
27:33
words just before he died. Remember what they were, Patsy? Why?
27:34
Yes, he said, yesterday, Nick, just yesterday. Well, it
27:38
seemed logical that what he was going to say was yesterday, Nick, just
27:42
yesterday I bought the Bancroft manuscript. Another words. The thing that was worrying
27:45
him, that made him call you was that he actually had the manuscript before
27:49
the papers announced it was stolen. Exactly when I realized that I knew that
27:53
either Julia or Taylor had sold it to him, And Julia was the only
27:56
one besides Victoria herself who knew the common Yes, but I didn't rely on
28:00
my words. That's why I ordered Taylor to open the state. And when
28:04
he couldn't do it, I knew he was covering for his sisters. So
28:07
Julia had to be guilty. I see it all. Now. That's the
28:14
end of Bancroft Hall, and of the Bancroft line too. How the line
28:18
may be passing, but Americans will still be reading Old Joshua's essays long after
28:22
the crimes of his great grandchildren. I've forgotten friends. This is Nick Carter
28:37
again asking you all to help in the great campaign to stab out tuberculosis.
28:44
You can help rid our country of this dreaded killer by purchasing all the Christmas
28:48
seals you can buy. Buy some more Christmas seals tomorrow. Well, I'm
28:52
sure the answer to that question, Nick is a great big yes. But
28:56
now, what can you tell us about the adventure that you post war Old
28:59
dutch Plant is going to bring us next week? Next week's story, Bob
29:02
concerns a man who went driving with his fiance and drove right into murder.
29:06
There was also some blackmail, yes, and I might mention that room on
29:10
the top floor with a sealed window, and that room in the cellar without
29:12
a window. See that really sounds intriguing. What do you call this story?
29:15
I call it the case of the policymakers. Attention homemakers. Now you
29:26
don't need a mixing bowl to color margarine. The sensational new dow Rich Easy
29:30
Color Pack Margarine ends mixing bowl mess with Delrich. The margarine and color beerry
29:34
are both inside a sealed plastic bag. You simply pinch the beerry, then
29:40
gently knead the bag, and Belrich quickly blends to a luscious golden color.
29:45
Inside the bag and listen. The delicious country sweet flavor and freshness of del
29:49
Rich are sealed in. It's truly America's finest margarine. Ask for the new
29:55

Pretty solid mystery. Though there had been hints about the siblings guilt. The
31:08
one thing that I did wonder about. While the writers seem to think that
31:14
it'd be so easy to blow up us safe, I didn't see any hints
31:19
that the brother was like an explosive expert. And you have to admit,
31:23
though Nick Carter will spare no offense to get his man or a woman as
31:30
the case might be, well, that will actually do it for today.
