4:24
in on Nick's office, we find Lieutenant Riley telling Patsy and Nick about a
4:28
rather unfortunate experience. Well, it's like this, you see, think tonight
4:31
after all, man Brammer give me the devil this morning about there being four
4:35
robberies on his treat in three weeks. I picked the best man. I
4:39
got on the horse, and I sent him up to Pine Street where all
4:42
these robberies been taken place, and I told him to watch like his life
4:46
depended on it. And then about one o'clock this morning, I got to
4:48
thinking about it, and I decided to go up there and have a look
4:51
for myself, just to be sure. You know, sure, I know.
4:55
The demon of the police force goes on the job, him saying,
4:58
now, look, Nikki, you're gonna let me tell this or not.
5:00
Sorry, Raley, go on with your store. Well, like I said,
5:02
I went to Pinestreat myself and I found the cop i'd set up there.
5:06
It was right on the job, okay, and everything was quiet as
5:10
far as I could see, So I assume how he was making out.
5:14
Nothing storing so far, Lieutenant, no suspicious characters around at all. You've
5:17
been right here all the time, every minute, Lieutenant good just dropped around
5:23
to be sure, Lieutenant, have you got a minute to spare? You
5:26
mean if I got a minute? Well, it's like this. My wife's
5:30
having a baby tonight. I expect she went to the hospital this afternoon,
5:34
just before I came on duty, and being is how I'm out here where
5:38
no one could reach me? I just kind of thought you want her to
5:43
see if you're a father yet, yes, sir, And I thought that
5:47
if you wouldn't mind watching here a minute, I just phoned from the drug
5:50
store just around the corner. Only take me a minute, sir, You
5:54
sure, go ahead and phone. I'll wait till you come back, but
5:57
don't stand gabbin for half an hour, I owser. So we went off
6:01
and left you all alone. Uh too bad, I say, it was
6:05
too bad. If we'd both been there, we might have got that dirty
6:09
crook. What happened in it? And well, I stood there in the
6:12
shadow of the corner house you see, watching, and a moment later I
6:15
saw a dark figure come out of old Bramwell's house, which was just two
6:18
doors up the street. I knew Bramwell and his wife lived there alone with
6:23
all your maid so I wondered who it would be coming out there that time
6:28
of night. And what made me even more suspicious, there was no light
6:30
on in the hall like there would be if somebody was saying good night to
6:34
him. So I says to myself, I'll just go over and find out
6:39
who he is. Becauay, I'm not taking no chances tonight. And you
6:42
went over. I did that. The guy just stood there at the top
6:46
of the steps. He seemed to be fumbling with something in a bag there.
6:49
As soon as I got up to the house, he turned around and
6:53
hung something right beside the door, But it was too dark to see what
6:57
it was at first, But as he started down the steps, I saw
7:00
it was a funeral wreath with a long streamle of purple ribbon on it.
7:03
I was a man dressed rally, just like an undertaking black gloves and a
7:08
tall hat and a long black coat. Did you say his say? No,
7:11
not very well in the dark patch. Well, I wasn't looking for
7:14
nothing like that, So I asked him who was dead? I regret to
7:18
inform you that mister George Bramwell has just passed away. Old man brow with
7:24
himself, Yes, very suddenly, almost in his sleep, he might say,
7:29
and he was down to see me just this morning, looking fine,
7:31
he was, yes, very sad. Well, if you'll pardon me,
7:36
I must be going. Allow me to present you with one of my cards
7:41
in case you ever have need of a man in my professional can thank you
7:46
Jay Atherton as a good martician. Yes, if you should ever need my
7:49
services, I should be happy to be of service anywhere. There is no
7:56
undertake her in this town where that hey you just a minute, there ain't
7:59
none, So we'll tell you what happened to her? Then, man the
8:09
one with the black bag, there's nobody on the street. What happens to
8:15
undertake him? Knock to be down? What's that that came from Brian's house?
8:20
Come on? Are you all right? Sir? And you want course?
8:24
I can't walk, I can't go ahead? What do you spoiling?
8:31
Look there probably with his head off. Smash him? Gosh, Lieutenant,
8:37
no, wonder your word. I'm afraid to read what the newest papers will
8:41
say. I can see him, no, Lieutenant Riley Is the Metropolitan Police
8:46
talks to murderer and steps and murders man's home and then is ticked in and
8:50
letting him go. Tis a sorry day for me. Well, I ain't
8:54
feeling sorry for yourself. Isn't going to get to unaway him? This man
8:58
interests ah. He goes to commit a murder and takes a funeral wreath along
9:03
to hang on the door of his victim's home. That's a no one on
9:07
me, Nick. Why don't you give Raley a hand? See if you
9:09
can't find this crook for him? I think I will, Betsy, That
9:13
is, if Riley wants me to wants you to? What do you think
9:16
I've been telling you this far, just to pass the time of day,
9:20
very well, rally, very well. Since you beg me so politely,
9:22
I'll be only too happy to put my talents at to a disposal. Where
9:24
do we begin? Nick? How you say the murderer war gloves, so
9:28
you must have left no fingerprints behind him. Yeah, that's right. And
9:31
I went off through the roads gallery this morning, and there's nothing there that
9:35
looks like him, which leaves us, if I'm not mistaken, with two
9:39
clues, the funeral wreath and the card he gave you, neither one of
9:43
them is worth the tinkers down? No, why not? Well, that's
9:46
the same kind of reef they attack on anybody's door when there's a death in
9:48
the family. And you certainly don't think that guy farked over his own card,
9:52
do you? You're wrong on both counts, Raley. Now how do
9:56
you figure that? We'll take the card first? May not be probably isn't
9:58
his. But it's somebody's card. Look at it, Patsy. It's not
10:03
printed, it's engraved. Right, it was a phony. Chances are it
10:07
would just be a printed one. A good morning, folks, beautiful morning,
10:11
lovely morning, isn't it you you report? Oh morning, Johnny,
10:18
it justn't time. Look here, Johnny, which you see if you dare
10:20
to print a word? And this is that yellow rag you work for it.
10:24
I'll not hold on, lieutenant. It's not a yellow rag, and
10:26
I don't work for it. I'm a feature writer and not a reporter.
10:31
So just keep your shirt on. Uh, whatever it is, it's getting
10:33
your hot and bother that Johnny, and the very thought of publicity makes him
10:37
squirrel. Oh fear not, fear not, lovely policeman. Your secret shall
10:43
be locked forever within the four walls of my hardly. It's a long story.
10:48
I'll give you the details later, but right now I've got a job
10:50
for you if you have time to do it, always at your service,
10:54
Nicholas and the beautiful Patsy speak on. I want you to get hold of
10:58
someone who can let you into the public life at this hour of the day.
11:01
I don't care if it is early in the morning, and I don't
11:03
care how so they get about letting you in. But dig up somebody who
11:05
can find you a copy of the Mortician's Annual, The morticians Annual. Yes,
11:09
you know what's the undertaker's trade publication. See if you can find an
11:13
undertaker named Jay Atherton Osgood. All right, then come back here and let
11:20
me know what it says about him. I'm making a rush order. This
11:22
can't wait. Consider it, don Nicholas, I'm on my way. Flu
11:26
Can you bet he? Did you mean to tell me? You think that
11:28
guy's name really was j Effington os Good? Not at all? Ley,
11:33
But since it's a genuine business card, he must have picked it up somewhere
11:35
along his travels. This man hous Good may help us get a line on
11:39
him. It's too much for me, Nick, you want me for anything
11:43
more here? No? Not just not Raley. I'll let you know if
11:46
I do. What are you going to do? I'd rather be shot than
11:48
do what I have to do. Nick, go down to the headquarters and
11:52
explain to the reporters how it happened that that cirk got away from me last
11:54
night. Oh well, good luck to you, and you better put a
11:58
shamrock over your left here for lock have your fun. You I don't envy
12:11
Riley reported dead after him. Well, Patty, we've got something to do
12:13
ourselves. Get me the latest city directory right here, Nick, I was
12:18
using it. What do you want to know? I want a list of
12:20
all the florists in the city. What on earth floor? We're going to
12:24
call on them and see which of them made this funeral wreath? Then for
12:26
whom? So get busy through, Patty, just a couple more, Nick,
12:39
But what a list? Maybe we'll be lucky. You only have to
12:41
call on a few of them, I should hope. So why if we
12:43
have to call on I bots your messengers back, Johnny. Well, oh
12:48
yes, it's very well, I might say, Okay, what do you
12:52
mean? Well, routed out the sweetest little redhead sub third assistant library,
12:56
and you ever saw name was my little tool and I got it open one
13:01
of the branch libraries from me. Did you get what I wanted. That
13:05
murder was kind of sore at me for making leaves a beauty sleep. But
13:09
hi, susan oh Casanova winters in Johnny, what did you find out?
13:18
Nick? Down in black and white? Ay Athison nas good funeral chapel Acron
13:22
Ohio. Yep, Johnny, Patsy and now are going out. I want
13:26
you to go through the files and see what you can find that has to
13:28
do with Akron. All right, Nick, about what days? Say,
13:31
say, within the last year. I'm not quite sure of the dates yet
13:35
I finished. You want to go now? Yes, Patty, the sooner
13:37
the better, get your hat and let's be on our way by Nick,
13:41
will you go with that funeral read? I don't know for sure, Johnny,
13:43
but I hope to hang it around a murderer's neck before long. So
13:56
Nick believes the funeral wreath which the killer hung in his victims door will lead
14:00
him to the killer himself. What can there be about that reef that makes
14:03
it such an important clue? We'll see in just a moment. Ever,

15:22
We left Nick and Patsy trying to find the floor us who made the funeral
15:26
reef which the killer hung on the door of the man he had just murdered.
15:30
That's it, Patsy just ahead, I silverman. I hope this for
15:35
us continue more than the other four we visited it. They didn't know from
15:37
nothing. I hope this reef doesn't get worn out before I find out who
15:41
made it. Yes, did this funeral wreath come from your shop? Myself?
15:50
Let me see, No, it couldn't be from here. All day
15:54
yesterday's business was very bad. I send out not one single other day,
16:00
only two customers. I'll take your word for it. But how about the
16:03
day before? Did you send it up? Then? Perhaps that's not possible,
16:07
mister. These flowers they are too fresh. They could not have been
16:11
peaked before yesterday, or so fresh they wouldn't be. Now you mean the
16:14
reef was definitely made up yesterday? Sure, mister, couldn't be before yesterday.
16:18
The night flowers, they are too fresh. Any idea who might have
16:21
made it up? That I couldn't see, mister. It's a very ordinary
16:25
piece. Could be anybody made it? Okay, thanks come sometime when you
16:29
want to buy something. Maybe yes, mister, thanks well, and he
16:36
loved me. No. I did find out the reef was definitely made yesterday.
16:41
That's all. Who's next time. Today, before we visit the next
16:45
place, I want to call it Johnny and ask him what he found.
16:48
Maybe that'll give us a leave. I found three notices in the Akron police
16:59
next. Any of them the men we want? Johnny, Well, I
17:02
can't tell. Descriptions are so general, I don't mean much. What are
17:04
the dates on them? One is dated almost a year ago, one is
17:08
dated about three months ago, and then the others two months ago. I
17:12
see, Well, not much help there, I'm afraid. And wait a
17:17
minute. Two of the men are wanted for murder and robbery and the other
17:19
for robbery alone. Okay, Johnny, sit tight, I may need you
17:22
again. So long I gather he didn't find anything that will help it.
17:30
Not without some additional evidence. Well, I've better call him the next floorist
17:33
than our list. That's the only lead we have that's any good. It's
17:48
a schwartz, right. Could you tell me if you made this wreath?
17:52
Did make it? O? Mist? I did not make it? Well?
17:55
Could you tell me who might have made it? Let me look?
18:00
Yes, I could not see for certain, mister, But I'm in this
18:03
business a long time. I think this was not made by florist. So
18:10
are you sure, No, I am not sure. But it looks as
18:14
if it was made by someone who has seen a lot of wreaths like this,
18:18
But it's not a regular forest, someone who has seen a lot of
18:21
reads like it, but not a professional florist. Finding another other florists noticed
18:26
that they probably were not as experienced in the business as I am, or
18:30
they did not look closely enough. I am sure it is not professional.
18:36
And another thing, these flowers, Yes, like a book. I know
18:41
all the greenhouses around here, and that one of them goes flowers like these,
18:47
And I'm sure. Thanks very much. You've told me a lot,
18:49
missus Watt so long, I think we've got something. How good? What
18:57
do you find a telephone? I want to talk to mister Jay after dinars
19:00
Good of ackman in shallow looking man in cheeks looked like a cartoon of old
19:15
man gloom. I see, mister Osgood. And you say he left your
19:19
employ very suddenly. Yes, it was about three months ago. He went
19:23
home one night. He never showed up again. No word drum him at
19:26
all. That's the man. All right, Thanks very much, mister Osgood.
19:30
Could he help you, Nick? Yes, Patsy, He says he
19:33
had a man working for him as undertaker's assistant who left him suddenly about three
19:36
months ago, and his description of the man agreed with Riley's description of the
19:40
man who killed bram Well last night. So what do we do now?
19:42
Is it some more flories? No, Patsy, we visit some undertakers.
19:55
But why are you so sure the killer works for an undertaker niece? It's
19:59
logical, Patsy. He apparently came to town about three months ago, but
20:03
he started these robberies as far as we know, only three weeks ago.
20:06
Now what could be more natural than from the get a job at the trade
20:08
he knew undertaker's assistant. Now what gave him time to look over the town
20:12
and decided where he wanted to pull his jobs and would also legalized as being
20:17
in town in case anything came up to question it. Well, we've tried
20:19
seven undertake hasn't none of them had any nice fresh assistance. We have better
20:23
luck at this next one. Why, yes, mister Carter, we do
20:37
have a new assistant, a mister Carton. It's a very fine man,
20:40
most efficient. Came here about three months ago. But I'm sure he can't
20:44
be the man. What does he look like why he's about as tall as
20:47
you are, not nearly as heavily built. His cheeks are thin, and
20:51
he looks rather like black old man Gloom. Well, I wouldn't like to
20:56
say that, but he does that. You mention it. He does rather
21:02
resemble that character. Yes, i'd like to say him. Why he's not
21:04
here today, mister Carter. He's homepacking his bank, packing his bag.
21:08
You mean he's leaving town just overnight, that's all. We're shipping one of
21:11
our late clients to Cleveland. That mister Kahn's is going with the body to
21:18
deliver it to relatives there. I say, well, you mind telling me
21:21
where your mister Kahnes lives. Why. I'm not sure, mister Carter.
21:23
I've never become that friendly with mister Heavens man. Surely you know where you're
21:27
on employees living. Oh, but he's not one of my employees, mister
21:30
Carter, I'm not ahead of this establishment. Mister Greyson is he could tell
21:36
you? Of course, as mister Grayson, I'll ask him. I'm very
21:38
sorry to say he's not here to not here. No, he's been called
21:41
out into the country to supervise them very special, all right, all right,
21:45
And you say you don't know Connes's home address. No, I don't,
21:49
but I believe he lives on Oakmont Terras if I remember Oakmont Terras,
21:53
yes, mister Carter, but I don't know the number. I'll find it
21:56
out. By the way, this body that arms is taken to Cleveland?
22:00
Who got it ready for shipment? Why when mister Conns he came to work
22:04
earlier this morning in order to get it ready in time, and now he
22:07
thanks? That's all I want to know so long. You mean you really
22:22
got a lead on the killer, Nick, I mean just that Rally.
22:26
He lives on Oakmont Terrace, but I don't know the number. Now listen,
22:29
Raleigh, meet me at the corner of Oakmont and Den Bruh as soon
22:32
as you can. I want you to identify the man for me. When
22:33
I find him, be out there in two shakes of lamps here, Nick,
22:37
I want to get my hands on that guy. I'll give him the
22:41
worst trip. Yes, I know I know, Raley, but wait till
22:42
we catch him first. See you at Oakmont and dan Broh in twenty minutes.
23:00
Drive slowly along the street, Patsy. I want to see if I
23:03
can get any clue to which is Cornes's house. You don't expect to find
23:07
him sitting on his doorstep, do you need hardly, Patsy. But one
23:11
of the floorists I visited gave me an idea, an idea about what about
23:17
the flowers and that wreathe? He said that there, that's the house.
23:22
My hunch was right. You mean the house where Carns live. Yes,
23:25
I'm sure of it, my Nick, How can you tell ray the garden
23:27
in front of the house. Oh, there's Raley putting around the corner up
23:32
there. Shall we go meet him? Yes? I want to get this
23:33
over with as soon as I can. Right, let's cook it just this
23:45
rally. I feel sure the killer of old man Bramwell lives in that gray
23:48
bungalow up the street. Huh. I think he's probably in there. Now.
23:52
I'm going in and see you wait outside in case he gets away from
23:56
me. Oh, but why not let me go because you know him when
23:57
you see him. I don't see you wait outside, and you, Patsy,
24:00
stay down here at the corner out of the way. But suppose he
24:03
tries to shoot you, Knick, wouldn't it be safer to take rally here?
24:06
If there is any shooting, rally can come in and give me a
24:07
hand and that Nick and happy to get a shot at that rat. Okay,
24:11
let's get going. Leave your car here so he won't suspect anything.
24:15
If you should happen to look out the window. Sure, how'd you happen
24:18
to get on the track of this smug investigation? Rally? Investigation and deduction
24:23
plus common sense? There, don't tell me much. I'll give you the
24:27
details later. All right, here's the house, I remember, stay here
24:32
unless they're shooting. Unless he gets away from me, then you'll grab him,
24:36
right Nick, good luck? Well, mister Carn's here? Yes,
24:52
that second door there? Shall I call? He's expecting me? Thanks?
24:56
Oh all right, you can go right in then. Thanks. Hey,
25:04
your name Carns? Yeah? So what I want to talk to you?
25:08
But any reason for busting to my guys? I mean, is there any
25:12
reason why you should enter my room without knocking? Oh? Yes, I
25:15
was afraid I might not catch you if I lost any time. You seem
25:19
to be leaving town. I don't know what you have in your mind,
25:22
but I'm sure I'm not the one you want to see. I don't believe
25:25
I know you, and I know you. You work for Grace and the
25:27
Undertaker, don't you. You're leaving town to chaperone a dead body to Cleveland.
25:32
That's quite correct. I know a lot more too. I know you
25:36
killed George Bramwell last night in cold Blood. I took three thousands and cash
25:40
and ten thousand and jewels from a safe. There's a pretty slick stunt to
25:44
impersonality departing undertaker and leave the wreath in the door. Go You interested me?
25:48
That is where you made your mistake, Carnes, because the Floris told
25:52
me that wreath wasn't made by a real florist, but by someone who's seen
25:56
lots of them. So I figured that the killer who might have worked for
25:57
an undertaker sometime was you. So you picked me out as the culprit.
26:03
There's another mistake to you. Is that card you picked up an acron gave
26:06
us a good line on you. Of course, going into the undertaking business
26:10
here was an excellent idea from your point of view, gave you a splendid
26:14
chance to find out whether the rich homes were located without attracting attention. Is
26:18
that all not quite? I have a hunch that if we were to pry
26:22
up the lid of that casket you're going to chaperone out of town. We'd
26:26
find you'd hitten the loot in there. This is all very entertaining, but
26:29
so far you haven't shown any proof of connects. This wild story up to
26:32
me, so I must ask you how about this? Then? That homemade
26:36
funeral wreath was made of white verbinas, a very uncommon flower around here.
26:40
And there's a fine bet of verbinas growing in front of this house, the
26:42
only white urbinos anywhere around here. So put on your hat, Carns,
26:45
and we'll go out and let Lieutenant Riley identify you as a man of slug
26:48
them last night. Oh if you take better aims, carn you really hope
26:56
to shoot your way out. You've got nothing on me. I just trying
26:59
whatever trying to do. That's shut your fire just now was a signed confession
27:03
of guilt. Yes, yes, everything's under control. Rally as your killer.
27:07
Hey, that's the guy alright, convicted by his own funeral ry,
27:11
which is poetic justice if I ever heard it. In just a moment,
27:33
Nick and Patsy will bring you a preview of next week's exciting case. Here's
27:37
a suggestion. Give your floors a handsome surface in a jiffy with LINEX self
27:42
Polishing wax. The liquid wax you simply wipe on without rubbing or polishing.
27:48
LINEX self Polishing Wax keeps all your floors, wood, tailand linoleum looking there
27:53
shining best. Yet it's so quick to use, and it dries to an
27:56
elastic suton he finished that wears amazingly and is unusually resistant to dirt and water.
28:03
It contains the greatest possible amount of genuine carnava wax with no gum shillako
28:08
resin to chip or crumble. So get it now. LINEX self Polishing Wax
28:14
to keep your floors beautiful the easy way. If your dealer hasn't yet received
28:18
his supply of the three great Linux Home brighteners, he'll probably have them soon.
28:23
Ask him to save one or all of them for you. Acme will
28:26
see that he gets them and you get them as quickly as possible. Now
28:33
let's hear from Nick Carter himself. How about it, Nick, have you
28:37
got something new and exciting for us next week? I think so. Ken
28:40
In the courtyard of a new and expensive apartment building, the body of a
28:44
man was found floating in the lily pool with a large knife in his back.
28:48
There was practically nothing to tell us who did it or why. But
28:52
when I got started on the investigation, I found a very confusing trail that
28:56
took me all over town in unexpected direction and right to the murderer thanks to
29:00
a costly mink coat, which unfortunately did not belong to me. Patsy,
29:06
you made a nice little sum of money out of that coat, even if
29:08
it wasn't yours. True enough, that was some compensation for what I went
29:12
through. It sounds interesting, Nick. What do you call a story?
29:15
I call it Death in the Pool or the Mystery of the Mink Coat.
29:19
And that's all until next week. So long, so long everybody, and
29:25
so long to you Nick and Patsy. We'll be looking forward to seeing you
29:27
again next week. Next week, at the same time, listen to another
29:37
curious experience of Nick Carter Master Detective entitled Death in the Pool or Nick Carter
29:47
and the Mystery of the Mink Coat. Nick Carter Master Detective is a copyright
29:56
feature of Street and Smith Publications, Incorporated. It is presented at this same
30:02
time and over these same stations by the three Great Linux Holme, Brightness Linux
30:07
clear Glass, Linux Cream Polish, and LINEX self polishing wax created by ACME,
30:12
America's great producer of ACME Quality paints. In the Nick Carter Adventurers,
30:18
Long Clark has starred as Nick Ellen. Short is featured as Patsy. Lieutenant
30:22
Riley is played by Humphrey Davis. Original music is played by Lou White.
30:26
The programs are written and directed by Jack McGregor. This is Ken Powell speaking
30:32
for the thousands of Linux dealers all over America and saying so long until next
30:37
week. This is mutuals, crazy, more dangerous to the end of the
30:55
show, which is somewhat unusual, and all told, getting a murder to
31:03
draw on them isn't the most dangerous thing that we've heard Nick Carter do.
31:07
Of course, My only beef with this particular episode is that basically the case
31:12
was solved by running through basic procedures and with something the police force should have
31:18
done itself without the aid of the greatest of all manhunters. All right,
31:22
Well, on to listener comments and feedback. William emails in to say,
31:27
Adam, I listened to a number of podcasts. I like your format best,
31:33
the podcast Cleaned Up. You have short comments at the beginning, with
31:36
longer ones at the end. I save your podcast until I have twenty or
31:40
thirty. Then I enjoy them all at once, saving a few just in
31:44
case of emergency. Also, you read an email where someone was criticizing your
31:48
voice. I think it has an anti divine sign to it, and I
31:52
noticed that you work at making each better. Well thanks. I think I
32:00
don't know. I've never Actually I don't think I can reach into the same
32:04
pitch he had Longer Younger listeners aren't aware of who Andy Divine is. If
32:09
you watch Darkwing Duck as a child. The voice of her Muddlefoot was a
32:15
slightly exaggerated version of that. But I do appreciate the remark and you listening.
32:20
And then we have a review by David Gallaher, who writes day in
32:24
and day out. Adam hits all the right marks. The podcast is something
32:29
I've become widely obsessed with. Great programs, great variety, great host,
32:31
great knowledge, well done. Well, thanks so much show, David,
32:36
And that will do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with the
32:39
conclusion of the Open Town matter, and then join us back here next Thursday
32:45
for another episode of Nick Carter. In the meantime, send your comments to
