around in an old cemetery in the middle of a careful smaller gravestones are hard
2:36
to see, you're telling me I almost broke my neck on Betsy. Look
2:40
at headstone there? What about it? Nick? Or don't you see the
2:44
name on it? Yes? But so what? Nick? This grave holds
2:47
the key to the whole mystery. Now the case of the Graveyard Gunman.
2:57
Today's exciting adventures starring lawn clocks Nick Carter brought to you buying new post war
3:02
old Dutch cleanser. As our story opens, the somblance quiet of Patsy Bowen's
3:07
room is suddenly broken by the harsh, urgent jangling of the telephone. HM
3:15
oh, hello, Patsy, this is Nick. Nick. Oh, Nick,
3:21
it's two o'clock in the morning. Where are you down at the homicide
3:24
Bureau in Maddy's office? What's happened me? Remember Nate Benedict, the guy
3:29
who stole the Felix Garth jewels. Nate Benedict, Why, of course you
3:34
helped send him up about three years ago. That's right. Well, he
3:37
escaped from the pan about ten o'clock last night. Escaped. Yes, I'll
3:40
pick you up in twenty minutes, Patsy. I put Benedict in prison,
3:45
and I'm going to see that he goes back. But what are we going
3:55
to do at the office, Nick, There are a couple of things I
3:58
want to check up on the name and address of Nate Benedict's girlfriend. For
4:01
one, I remember her name. It was Kay Florian. Why, yes,
4:06
that's it. You think Bendict will try to contact her? He might.
4:11
One thing we can be sure of, he'll go after the fifty thousand
4:13
dollars worth of jewels he hid somewhere. Yes, I wonder where he hid
4:17
them. You're not the only one who wonders, Bessy. When Benedict refused
4:21
to talk, the insurance company had to pay off Felix Garth collected the full
4:26
fifty thousand. Well, here we are, I've got my key right here.
4:31
Nick. Oh, oh, I'm still sleepy. I'll snap on the
4:44
lights. Flim I got him, great, Scott. The place is a
4:48
shambles. Oh, Nick, has been a fighting here. I certainly looks
4:53
that way. I've got a load of that filing cabinet. Somebody's forced it
4:58
open. Let's have a look at my office, right, Nick, Your
5:01
office been ransacked too, Someone must go over there by your desk. Is
5:06
a man lying on the floor on the lights? Oh? Is it?
5:10
White light running over? Oh? But I don't know who he is,
5:14
Passy, and there's no use asking him. He's been murdered. I got
5:29
Maddie on the phone. Nick, he'll be right over. Oh. Thanks,
5:30
pass Did you find anything on the body to identify him? Just a
5:33
slip of paper in his pocket with an address on it? Night ten,
5:36
nineteen ten, nineteen Willow Hill Drive, Uh huh? What do you suppose
5:41
he was after? Nick? Whatever it was, it was important enough for
5:44
someone to follow him here and take it away from him after he put up
5:46
a fight exactly. My guess is that whoever killed him didn't mean to do
5:50
it here in the office. When the fight started, there wasn't any choice.
5:55
Nick. Maybe we can find out what they wanted if we check our
5:58
crossfiles against there in the drawer that was forced open. That'll tell us of
6:01
a file folder is missing. That's my girl, good idea. I'll read
6:05
the names on the cross file and you check them against the folders in the
6:08
drawer. Good you ready? Huh? Adams, Albright, Anderson, Applegate,
6:15
Babcock, Banister, Carton, Benedetta. Yeah, the file and Nate
6:23
benedicta is missing. Five hours ago Benedict escaped from prison. That's no coincidence.
6:27
Pass Well, why would he want our file card in his own case?
6:30
Why would anyone want it? The answer to that is somewhere on this
6:33
cross file card. You mean, because it contains all the information we had
6:38
on the original card, the one that's missing. Yes, has everything down
6:43
to Benedict's family name, his family name, Yes, he changed his name.
6:46
Here's a goo. His father's name was Benedetto according to the cards.
6:54
That's strange. What name the address written on that slip of paper I found
6:59
on the dead man was It's ten nineteen Willow Hill Drive. You know whose
7:01
address that is? No? Who's Felix guards the man Benedick stole the jewels
7:08
from very same Pat's see. As soon as Maddie gets here to take over,
7:13
we're going to pay a call on mister Phelick Garth, mister Carter,
7:26
miss blown. Thank you. Sorry to break in on you at this hour,
7:29
mister Garth. But oh not at all, mister Carter. As a
7:32
matter of fact, I just heard of Nate Benedict's escape and was about to
7:35
call you. Call me. Why about a visitor I had yesterday? Who
7:41
was he? Mister Gard? He wouldn't give me his name, but he
7:45
said he could find out where Benedict had hidden my jewels. That's so yes,
7:49
and he offered to get them for me if i'd pay him five thousand
7:53
dollars. You agree, Why not? The insurance company is offering your reward
7:57
of five thousand dollars for the jewels. What if this man looked like mister
8:00
Gard? Oh he was rather nondescript characters small sandy here war a gray pinstripe
8:07
suit. Mister god. Less than an hour ago we found that man in
8:13
my office, murdered, murdered, good heavens. Oh excuse me, hello,
8:20
This is Sergeant Mathieson of a homicide bureau. Is Nick Carter? There?
8:22
Yes, just a moment for you, mister Carter. Oh thanks,
8:28
hello, it's Marty Nick we've identified the guy you found in your office.
8:31
Who was he? His name was Sammy Gates got out of a pen on
8:35
parole last week. What and that ain't all? Nick? The whole time
8:39
Sammy was in the can, his cell mate was our old pal Nate Benedict.
8:56
Is Maddy going to meet us at the Melbourne Arms apartments? Nick,
8:58
He said to me waiting out in front, he wants to be there.
9:01
When we questioned Benedict's girl, Kay Florian, what does he expect to find
9:05
out? I don't know, Patsy. As far as I'm concerned. The
9:09
only question I want answered is what was on that file card that would have
9:13
told Sammy Gates where the Felix Garth jewels are hidden? You're sure that was
9:18
why Gates was after the file That's the only way it adds up. Gates
9:22
was Benedict' sell made in prison. Yeah, evidently he learned enough from Benedict
9:26
to know he could locate the jewels from something in R five and he tried
9:31
to do it, but Benedict wrote prison found Gates trailed into our office and
9:35
surprised him there, and there was a fight and Gates was killed. The
9:39
way it looks at the moment. Patsy, Well, here is the Mailbourne
9:41
arm, isn't he? Ah, that's Maddie waiting for us. Hello,
9:46
sergeant, Oh hello, Patsy. Hi Leck, what's the word, Mattie?
9:50
Should we go in and talk to Kay Florian? Yeah, I've been
9:52
casing the joint a little. Her apartments on the first floor, right around
9:56
the corner from the desk. This way, follow me. I take it
10:00
you've had someone watching her. Oh sure, I planted a man out here
10:03
as soon as I heard Benedict escape. But the Dame hasn't punched from a
10:05
room. Oh here we are, apartment one, oh one. I'll not
10:11
wait waite, Mandy, listen, but I tell you I can't tell you.
10:13
It's too dangerous. She's talking to someone on the phone. No,
10:18
no, I tell you the police are watching me. Marry Yeah, Nick
10:20
can get out to the desk in the lobby and get that call traced.
10:24
Hurry before she hangs up. Okay, Nick, I'm not trying to avoid
10:28
you, but you can't come here. Maybe I couldn't meet you somewhere later.
10:31
I think she's talking to Benedict. Nick sounds like it. Yes,
10:35
I understand, all right, I'll call you later. Yes, yes,
10:39
good bye? She hung up. Nick. Oh, Maddy had time to
10:43
have the call trace. Come on, Yeah, the desk is right around
10:48
here to the left. Keep your fingers crossed. That call could lead it's
10:50
the Benedict. Oh there's the sergeant any luck? Many? Yeah? Nick?
10:56
The operator trace the coal. Yeah, it came from the carried take
11:00
his cottage out at Wildwood Cemetery. Wildwood Cemetery, that's where Nick caught up
11:05
with Benedict when he arrested him. Right, Nick, how was the place
11:07
all right? We fought it out with him out there. That's where the
11:11
newspapers called him the graveyard Gunman. He must be there again, Nick,
11:15
I will soon find out. Marry. I suggest you call headquarters. Get
11:18
as many men as you can spare out the wild Wood immediately, right Nick,
11:20
I'll have the cemetery completely surrounded in five minutes. Operator operate Operator,
11:28
get me police headquarters and stuff on it. Hello, Headquarters, this is
11:33
Sergeant Mathieson. I want to but what what is it? Many? Yeah?
11:41
Yeah, I got it, Okay, I'll be right in. Well
11:43
what do you know about that? What's happened? Many? The state police
11:46
cornered Nate Benedict a half hour ago, there was a gun battle and Benedict
11:52
was killed. Why did they find him? That's what's the screwing, Nick.
11:54
He was only five miles from the penitentiary when he was trapped. He
11:58
never got any five miles. But what that means he hasn't even been in
12:03
town, right, Patsy. And that means that our theory is blown up
12:07
in our faces. Nate Benedict couldn't have murdered Sammy Gates. Momentarily stunned by
12:18
the unexpected news of Nate Benedict's death, Nick realized that what seemed to be
12:22
an open and shutcase has suddenly developed into a deep mystery, and that he's
12:26
dealing with a daring and desperate murderer. We'll see what happens in just a
12:30
moment. Now back to the case of the Graveyard Gunman. Today's adventure with
12:37
Nick Carter brought to you by a new post war all Dutch glender. As
12:43
we pick up our story, Nick, Patsy, and Maddie have returned to
12:46
Nick's office following the news of Nate Benedicck's death, a death that has turned
12:52
the murder of Sammy Gates from what appeared to be a clear cut case into
12:56
a perplexing mystery. Hell, if Benedict dead, I'm stymy, Nick,
13:01
where do we go from here? Has only one other lead? Maddy?
13:03
Yeah, what's the fact that I first arrested Benedict out in Wildwood Cemetery And
13:07
that's tonight his girlfriend Kay Florian got a phone call from out there. Oh
13:11
we thought the call came from Benedy. Sure, but now we know it
13:13
couldn't have, right, So who was it that called? Well, the
13:16
sergeant traced the call to the caretaker's cottage, and wouldn't the caretake if he
13:20
worth talking to? Oh? Come on, oh, Nick, we're not
13:24
going out to Wildwood Cemetery. Why not? Everything else in this case has
13:28
turned out to be a dead end, So why not try cemetery? Oh
13:41
gosh, Nick, I just don't like tramming around in a graveyard in the
13:45
middle of the night. Yeah, what's it getting this? The caretaker is
13:48
in home, his cottage is dark, So why don't we blow was he
13:50
maybe back at any minute? Matty? And I think it's worth hanging around
13:52
for a while here. Let's go this way. Oh but Nick, Oh,
13:58
hard to see those smaller gravestones. You're telling me I almost broke my
14:01
name? What is he? What are you looking at? The headstone there?
14:05
The one my flashes on. You see what I see? Just another
14:09
headstone as far as I'm concerned. Look at the name, Joseph Benedetta benedetto
14:16
Nick. That was the name on the crossfiled cards. What are you talking
14:18
about, Maddie. Joseph Benedetta of the man who's buried here was Nate Benedict's
14:22
father. He said, well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. And hey,
14:26
good here behind the headstone, Hey, fresh dirt, somebody's been doing
14:31
some bigg in here lately. Unless I miss my guests, what they got
14:35
out of that hole was Felix God's jewels. Of course, that's what Sammy
14:39
Gates was after now filed Nate Benedict's family name. Right. Gates must have
14:43
known that I arrested Benedict out here in this cemetery. Apparently he'd wormed the
14:48
information out of Benedict somehow that the jewels were buried behind his father's tombstone,
14:50
which means that to find the jewels all he had to do was to find
14:54
out the right name of Benedict's fault me. That means that someone besides then
15:00
Dick knew the jewels were buried here. Sure, and whoever that's someone is
15:03
followed Gates to your office and killed him to keep him from finding out the
15:07
name on this gravestone. You may be right? Many? Oh bet,
15:09
I'm right, and I'll lay you wadds. I know who it was.
15:13
Kay Florian's the only one that could have been Kay Florian. Sure she was
15:16
Nate's girlfriend. She's the only one we hit the ground. Stay behind the
15:22
stone shooting at us? Oh yeah, well two can play that game.
15:28
Shots behind those bushes over they're many, right, I'll smoke them out.
15:35
They hold it? Many, whoever it was, I think you scart him
15:39
away. You are right. It seems to get my heart out of my
15:43
throat. I will be well. Looks like we've got another graveyard gunman on
15:46
our hands. Wick. Come on, let's take a look at those bushes.
15:50
Careful, nick h here this is the spot right here. No one's
16:00
here. What is is a man standing right over there? Stay mare?
16:08
You are all of you? Don't move? Got a gun? N What
16:11
do you do here? Why you do all the shooting? Maybe you could
16:15
answer that question, brother, But on that gun pile, you're talking to
16:18
the police. Oieah, yeah, who are you? My name is Otto.
16:23
I am care take your cemetery. So you're the caretaker. H yeah,
16:27
I come home. I hear shooting. I run out here. And
16:30
of course you didn't do the shooting. Your no, no, no,
16:33
I shoot no one at all. Right, take it easy at him.
16:37
You made a telephone call a couple of hours ago, I believe, called
16:41
missus Kay Florian at the Melbourne Arms apartments. Why no, I know Cornay
16:45
traced the phone call your cottage. Wanted to see her, but she wouldn't
16:49
let you come to her apartment. No on my point. Okay, if
16:52
he won't talk, we'll have to run him in. Come on, Otto,
16:56
you're going down the headquarters. No no, no, wait, I
17:00
I talk. I tell you everything. That's better. You did call miss
17:03
Florian, right? Yeah? What about about the jewels, the Felix Scarth
17:07
jewels. Yeah, that's the missus Florian has done what I tell you?
17:12
Nick, oh on't how do you know she has them? Last night?
17:15
She come here, she digged them up. I see her do it.
17:18
I didn't know who she was. I go to Benedict trial three years ago.
17:22
I see her. So after you saw her dig up the jewels,
17:25
you called her and demanded money to keep quiet about the fact that she had
17:27
them. Is that it? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's right.
17:30
You thank you for telling the truth. Nick. Well, there's one way
17:33
to find out Patsy. How's that such by talking to kay Florian like I
17:37
wanted to do in the first place. That's what we've got to do.
17:40
Maddie, all right, then what are we waiting for. Let's go see
17:42
the Florian dame for my dough. She's got a murder to explain. It's
17:47
one thing you're overlooking, Maddy. Oh yeah, what's that? According to
17:51
Oatrow, the Florian woman dug up the jewels last night. So what time
17:56
was it at him? About ten o'clock? In other words, Maddy,
17:59
before m Gates was killed, she already had the jewels. What difference did
18:03
it make to her whether Sammy found up where they were buried? Nick's got
18:06
a point, Sergeant, No, I don't see it. If Gates hadn't
18:08
found the jewels behind this gravestone, it had gone after the Florian babe.
18:12
So she bumped him off, not only to protect the jewels, but to
18:17
keep Gates from bumping her off. No, that's up, don't it.
18:19
Maybe Maddy, maybe not. We'll know after we hear her story. Let's
18:23
go. Well, come on, come on, sister, come on talk,
18:40
and I'm telling you I got nothing to talk about. We know you
18:42
have the goth jewels, Miss Florian? Where are they? I never heard
18:45
of him? You dug up the jewels from behind the gravestone and Wildwood Cemetery
18:49
between nine and ten o'clock last night. Otto says. He told us his
18:55
story, Miss Florian, how he tried to shake you down for some money
18:57
to keep it quiet that you have the jewel, right, that dirty little
19:00
double cross. All right, all right, will you talk now, sister.
19:03
Not much point in keeping quiet now he is there. Okay, Okay,
19:08
you win. I'll talk, but plenty more than your bargaining course.
19:14
What do you mean, I'll tell you a story about those jewels lit old
19:18
floor. All right, let's have it. And remember, just because I've
19:21
got him, that doesn't mean I killed Sammy Gates were all of rocks now
19:26
in my bedroom under my mattress. I'll get him if you want me to.
19:29
I'll go with you, just to make sure you come back, okay,
19:33
Copper and no tricks, sister, No, no, what I was
19:38
telling the truth? After on me? What about Ka Florian? Do you
19:44
think she's lying about not killing Gates? No? No yet did order that
19:48
bedroom? Somebody standing shirt? Because the gunshots came from the bedroom? Many
19:56
many oh, Nick, He doesn't answer back, Betsy, I'm gonna shoot
20:00
off the lot. Careful, Nick stuck in There should be a light switch.
20:07
Yes here it is, hey, Maddie, Maddy, Oh, Nick,
20:14
he isn't No, it wasn't shot He slugged the Florian woman got away
20:18
that at the door. There must leaves the kitchen and alpha bag. Yeah,
20:21
many Mandy. What happened? I don't know. Like they came in
20:26
here, the room was dark, the door slam shut and and something hit
20:32
me? What about the shots? Shots? Snake the jews. She said
20:36
they were under the mattress. She had time to get them. Let's see
20:38
I left the lettress. Is the empantcy you they hear, Nick, she
20:45
didn't have a chance to mat he here im the other side of the bed,
20:51
next to the wall. Great Scott, kay Florian and she's dead.
21:07
In shock silence, Nick and Patsy stare at the lifeless body of Kay Florian.
21:12
In just a moment, we'll bring you the conclusion of this adventure.
21:21
Now for the conclusion of the case of the Graveyard Gunman. Today's adventure with
21:25
Nick Carter brought to you by a new post war all Dutch cleanser. Although
21:30
he has finally found the Felix s. Garth jewels, Nick is still faced
21:34
with the task of tracking down the murderer of Sammy Gates and Kay Florian.
21:38
We pick up our story several hours after the Florian woman's death. The door
21:42
of Nick's office is just opening, is mister Carter and miss Bourne? Oh,
21:48
mister Garth, Yes, Nickson his laboratory, he calls it. Tell
21:53
me that he recovered my jewel. Oh, yes he has. If you're
21:57
wait just a moment, I'll tell him you're here. Thank you, Miss
22:03
Nay. Felix Goth is here. Oh good, I'll see him right away.
22:08
Ask him to come in, will you right, mister Garth. When
22:12
you step in here, please thank you Hello, mister Carter. Good morning,
22:18
mister gard Well, here are your long lost jewel. Old mister Carter.
22:22
I don't know how to thank you for this. Oh I don't need
22:25
to. Your insurance company will do that. I believe they're all here except
22:29
one of the larger pearls. I have it in this glass. Why what
22:33
on earth did you put it in the glass of water? For it isn't
22:36
water, mister Garth. It's a solution of acid. Assid yes, acid.
22:41
You see the pearl assisted round and firm as it was when I dropped
22:45
it in the glass two hours ago. You know what that means. Mister,
22:52
stand right where you are, both of you. Don't move this voters
22:57
loaded and I have noms about killing. We know that guy after what you
23:03
did to Sammy Gates and Kay Florian. You mean me he's God, Yes,
23:08
he's the murderer. Passy and the motives right here in my hand.
23:12
The pearl and this glass were genuine and have been dissolved by the acid.
23:15
But it's a pony, like all the rest of Felix Garth's jewels. It's
23:19
very clever you to discover that content. They're the best imitations money could buy,
23:26
but hardly worth the fifty thousands you collected from the insurance company after they
23:29
were stolen. And Nate Benedict's to worthless jewels, he did, but he
23:33
didn't know it. No one in the world knew it, but you did.
23:37
They God, you killed Sammy Gates to keep him from finding out,
23:41
and you killed kay Florian after she found out. I had no intention of
23:44
killing either of them, but it was the only way you could keep the
23:45
insurance company from nailing you for fraud. When Gates told you he could find
23:49
the jewels, you got panicky, so you follow him here. When he
23:52
caught you spying on him and swung on you, you killed him. And
23:56
you try to do the same thing to us out in Wildwood Cemetery. You
23:59
mean it was author took those shots that Nick, It was Patsy what he
24:03
didn't know that kay Florian had already dug up the jewels because Nate Benedict had
24:07
tipped her off that he was going to break jail and needed money. She
24:10
learned they were phony when she tried to sell some of them. You've got
24:12
all the answers, haven't you carter most of them? I even know that
24:17
you went to kay Florian's house to pay her to keep quiet. He wouldn't
24:21
have had to kill her if she hadn't been all set to tell us that
24:22
the jewels were fake. Well, this is all very interesting, Carter,
24:26
but it's beside the point. When I walk out of here, I'll still
24:30
be the only one alive who knows the truce. A word of advice,
24:34
Carr. When you do walk out, don't forget to take the pearl in
24:38
this glass. Mustn't leave a scrap of Evid'll give me that pearl. Be
24:42
glad to here. It is acid and all right, and the proof?
24:47
Oh else, huh? Pick up his gun, Patsy, and keep it
24:55
on him. Right. I'll call Mary and tell him to get a cell
24:57
ready for a new te for the long term lease. But Nick, I
25:12
still don't see whatever gave you the idea that the jewels were phony? It
25:15
was the only thing that made sense, Patsy. I began to suspect it
25:19
when Kay Florian said she'd tell us a story about them that with Flora's You
25:22
remember, yes, But that didn't prove anything. Well, it helped.
25:27
I'd already eliminated her as a suspect because she wouldn't have shut us out there
25:32
in the graveyard. She already had the jewels, so why should she?
25:36
Oh, I see, the person who was doing the shooting didn't note the
25:40
jewels had already been taken out of the grave exactly, so that automatically eliminated
25:45
Outo too. There was nobody left but Garth who had any interest in the
25:49
jewels. He'd been paid off for them, so he wouldn't kill to recover
25:53
them. But I realized that he might kill to keep them from being recovered
25:59
because he wouldn't want the insurance company to know they weren't genuine. But how
26:03
did he help the square with the insurance company even if he did get his
26:06
hands on them. Oh, that wouldn't have been hard. God's made a
26:08
lot of money since he collected that fifty. It was broke when he sold
26:12
the real jewels after having them insured, but today he's rich. He figured
26:18
it'd pay back the insurance company and keep the ponies, and no one would
26:22
be the wiser. I get it all now, Nick, except one thing.
26:29
Why wasn't God horribly burned when you threw that acid in his face?
26:33
Oh that's easy. It wasn't burned because it wasn't acid. What? No,
26:37
nothing but water, Petsy, What I didn't need acid to test that
26:41
pearl. One good look under my microscope was enough. Other than why all
26:45
that business about the pearl being an acid shuremanship Petsy purely Schuman. When I
26:51
threw that water on God's face, he was so sure it was acid he
26:53
raised his hands to his eyes and dropped his gun. Oh well, for
26:56
Heaven's sake, from the way he all, I thought sure he'd been burned.
27:02
I imagine he will be. But I'm satisfied to leave the burning of
27:06
Felix Garth to the proper authorities. Well, Nick, what about next week's
27:19
adventure, Bob? Next week's case? Hmmm, I'll get him. Hello,
27:26
call super to eight all that is all? Hey, hey, wait
27:33
a minute, wait a minute, Well Nick, what's the matter? There
27:38
was a woman, Bob. All she said was call super too eight four
27:44
eight by me. That message was on my calendar pad this morning. Look,
27:48
Nick, this is might mysterious. All right, but what about next
27:52
week's show? Oh yes, yes, well, Bob, that's also very
27:56
mysterious. It's about a man who was killed in Florida, and it was
28:00
also killed two thousand miles away. Nick. Carter Master Detective is presented each
28:15
week at this time by the Cuddy Heat Packing Company. It is produced and

directed by Jock McGregor and is copyrighted by Street and Smith Publications, Incorporated.
28:25
Charlotte Manson is featured as Patsy. Matty is played by Ed Latimer. Today's
28:30
script was written by Ken Pettis and Louis Schofield. Original music is played by
28:36
Henry Silvern. This program is fictional and any resemblance to actual persons living or
28:41
dead is purely coincidental. This is Bob Martin saying, when minutes count,
28:47
use you false war all thatch cleanser. This is the mutual broadcasting system.
29:18
Welcome back. Well. To me, the strength of Nick Carter continues to
29:23
be stories. Some programs are really good on the characters and atmospherics, but
29:33
for Nick Carter, it's all about the stories. And this was a very
29:37
clever mystery. And I liked all the twists they worked in, and next
29:42
way of catching the criminal was a lot of foresight, very clever. The
29:48
only thing I didn't like about this was Patsy being there basically to go gick
29:52
a ghost. But beyond that, I thought this was a pretty strong episode
29:59
in Nick car and I hope you enjoyed it well tomorrow. We'll be back
30:03
with yours truly, Johnny Dollar, and be sure and join us again next
30:07
Thursday for another episode of Nick Harter. In the meantime, send your comments
