• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Good evening, doctor, this evening, Misterboto punctures of the minutes,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: as usual, drew up a turn and settled down.

• 0:18
  Speaker 1: of my chair during most of the year.

  Speaker 3: Story just about Joe.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I hope to night will prove low exceptions. So night
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: after your pipe, and I'll.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Get on with my story doctor.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: From the hint you gave us last week, it sounded
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: like quite a thriller. How did it begin?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: On a cool winter morning in eighteen hundred and ninety seven,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Holmes and I are breakfast just concluded. Sat on the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: other side of a cherry fire in our Baker Street lodger.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: A thick fog rolled down between the line of dun
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: colored houses, and the opposite windows loomed like dark shakfast
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: blurs through the.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Heavy yellow wreath.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Another London piece super high.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Our guess, was lifted and shot its fishing light on
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the white cloth and glimmer of china. For the breakfast
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: tuble not be cleared, Holmes was physic cross indexing his
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: record of crime. Why was engross to one of Clark's
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Russell's Fine Sea stories.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Our morning was not destined, however, to be quiet. Shortly
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: after eleven o'clock.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Missus Hudson, I shut a young lady into our room,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: A young lady?
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: You really?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm doctor Watson and home.
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: How do you do? Gentlemen? I must apologize for not
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: giving my name to your heart keeper, but I have
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: to be. Of course you're wondering who I am and
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: what's brought me here.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: My own theory would be that you are Miss Harriet Irving.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: And if you come to me to elicit by aid
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: in proving that mister Binyon did not murder your father homes,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: what on earth are you talking about?
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: Absolutely correct, mister Holmes, But how did you know?
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I did you sed to Miss Irving? You're wearing very
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: new and extremely expensive morning presumably for the first time
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: since a few wasting threads are still in evidence. You
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: wear no rings, so evidence that you're not in morning
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: for a Husby. The only man whose death the papers
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: announced in the past few days had who left a
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: young daughter wealthy enough to purchase such garments is Sir
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Edward Irvin, and since the police have already made an arrest,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: obviously wished me to disprove the police theory and intercede
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: for young Binion.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: Mister Holmes, You're wonderful. That's just what.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: I want you to do, Miss Heaven. I've studied the
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: newspaper reports pretty carefully. Would seemed to me that Scotland
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Yard has arrested the right man.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Sorry, but I didn't read the newspaper reports. I'm the
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: film I you're both talking about.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Then let me bring him up to date, my depone,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: and please correct me mis serving if I'm making mistakes now.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Three days ago, Sir Edward Irvin, the father of this
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: young lady, was bound stabbed to death in his study.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: The only entrance to the study is through an ante
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: room where his secretary had been sitting ever since Sir
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Edward has last seen alive, and the secretary swore that
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: no one had entered or left the study sector, his
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: name being Binionare Yes, under the circumstances, it's hard to
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: see that any other arrest was possible.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: And yet I know he's innocent.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, how do you know that we were in love.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: We were going to be married. I don't care what
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: the police say. A woman knows these things. Robert Binyon
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: did not kill my father.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Did your father prove the engagement?
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Well, no, not exactly.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: If one woman were to be exact, Miss Van, I
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: wouldn't once say that your father absolutely forbade the marriage.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Yes he did.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: An infectless stard assumed that was the motive for the murder.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Does your father have any other relatives living, Miss Urban.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: His brother, my uncle Peregrine. He lives a hermit's life
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: in the country. We've seen very little of him in
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: the last few years.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Was he left anything under your father's will?
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: No, I was the sole beneficiary. Please help me, mister Holmes.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: If you'll just talk to Robert, you'll know he's not guilty.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: No harm talking to him homes After all, our old
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: friend the Star handled the case and he's made a
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: good many mistakes in the fust.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: All over Jeff, Well, Miss Even, I'll do what I can,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: but I promise nothing. Where is your fiancee being held

• 4:43
  Speaker 4: my desk, but it won't tell you nothing.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: You don't know.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Death was instantaneous, paused by some weapon like a long
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: needle of fines to leto or ice pick, penetrating the
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: brain at the face of the skull.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: And no such weapon was in the room or on

  Speaker 1: in to say good night to him, and I found
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: him slumped in his chair, dead, with blood streaming down

  Speaker 4: is the possibility of the Binion is innocent. He is.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: I began to see that when you were talking to
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: the butler.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: You're being very cryptic.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: What are the possibility I was talking about the possibility

  Speaker 4: of the Binion the arrested man is shielding the real murderer.

• 9:44
  Speaker 5: young big in worked and that door there leads into
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: the study where Sir Edward was.

  Speaker 4: Clown and I'm in touch the cars and see discovery
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: of the crime. Oh no, mister Jones.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: That's why we've had a constable on duty in there
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: night and day before the trial. We're bringing expertise to

  Speaker 4: Yes, the trickle of blood oozing out from the base
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: of the scar will strike me pink.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: He's being killed the same way as Sir Edward one.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: I presume you agree that mister Binyon didn't commit this
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: murder of Astride or course of mister Olmes. He could
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: have done it. He's locked up at the yard. Well,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: what are we going to do? As the butler? They
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: coming here with him?
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Right?

  Speaker 2: your homes.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: They mentioned to let her on ice pick a womb.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Like this might be caused by one of those long
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: steel happens that the women were.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's the possibility to watching the distinct possibility, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: miss Irving was wearing a long happin this morning. If
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: you remember vast walls, A little chance of secret camels here,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: I should.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Say, the window locked on the inside here is, mister,

• 11:35
  Speaker 7: habit of keeping the corpses of policemen in here.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: You don't try to be funny, travelers. Didn't you realize
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: you're mixed up in a murder case?
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I meant no offense, gentlemen. The point of my question, Travers,

  Speaker 4: Same chair in which Sir Edward's body was found, of
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: clos that's the answer, Covers. Remember that chair delivered and
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: who delivered it. It was delivered the day before Sir

  Speaker 4: Edward died.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: It came from Silver Schwartz's antith shop in bonds that
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: came to put.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: The start see to the removal of this poor man's body,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: seal the room, and for Heaven's sake, keep the Nator's

  Speaker 8: You are interested in musical books in chairs, particularly in
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: the handsomely car't chair you.

  Speaker 4: a pair, wasn't it?
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: Pullcotten Himm That's impossible.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Please to follow me.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: I will sure you it's not. But look look at
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: the chair.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: It's exactly like the same one as Sir Edwards hurt.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: My friend. But there's such a difference in fifteenth century Italian,
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: isn't it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: This is one of the pairs, the famous many Piero
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: arm chairs. There are only three pairs in the world,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: my friends.
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: Of this pair runs upon I delivered with the air

• 13:37
  Speaker 8: not exactly?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I can't see any difference from hell.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: You would if you sat in it, old chap precisely.
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: That is why I have these cards stretched from one
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: arm of the chair to the other. If anyone were
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: to sit in it, well, sometimes nothing will happen, But
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: sooner or later a hand will presents hidden spring in
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: the arm here.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: And death is stright.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: But nothing happened when you pressed the spring, then, mister Siltson, No.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: I don't understand I do. This is the harmless chair,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: the least for one was sent to Sir Edward. He
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: sat in it, accidentally pressed the spring and drove the
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: fatal needle into his brain.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, poor constable did today.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Sir Edward bought both chairs, I presume, yeah.
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: I would not sell it.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Why didn't you deliver both at the same time?
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: He was afraid of the deadliver.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: He asked me to keep it here until he found
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: a safe place for it in his home. M And
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: some devil switched the arm caught from the fatal chair
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: for the harmless ones, so that you delivered death to
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Sir Edward. That's a subtlety in this crime, worthy of
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: the fiendish maker of the chairs himself once per die
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: of being fed seating himself in one of his own chairs. Yeah, yeah,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: he did poetic justice. I'm much obliged to you, sob once.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Now I think I know how to trap our killer.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Doctor Watson will bring you the rest of his story
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: in just a second. So I'm just going to tell
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you that after a good dinner, there's nothing quite like
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a glass of good Petrie California Port. Petre Port is
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: really a wonderful wine, a deep, hearty red in color
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and rich and truly delicious in flavored. You know, port
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: wine is actually America's favorite wine. Try a glass of
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: pet Report and you'll know why. Petre Port is not
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: only fine after dinner, it's perfect whenever good friends get together.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Just keep in mind the name Petrie, because Petree wines
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: are a good wine. Well, doctor Watson, this is quite
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: a story you're telling us tonight. So you found out
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: how the murders had been committed, but not who'd been
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: responsible for That's quite.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Rightless about hewn Home spent a long time cross examining
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Missus schilvershruns, the owner of the antique store.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: As to who might have had the opportunity for switching
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: with telltale cord to.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: The fatal chair, and who did have that opportunity, Doctor
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: turns passive.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Four people might have been responsible. Sedward's daughter Secti mister
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: of Binion had both been in.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: The shop with him at various times.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: So at the booker Trevors a false suspect was Sir
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Edward's centric brother, Peregrine, who had appeared dropped into the
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: shop the day after the purchase had been made. For
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: this last information, Homes became very excited and launched into
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: eager preparations, which ended a few hours later when we
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: found ourselves disguised as furniture removers driving a van along
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: a quiet country lane near Dorking as we approached the
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: house of Sir Edward's brother.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: He's the house, Watson Ramshack. A looking place, isn't it, yes,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Streamers not? Why you someone rose, my dear Chap. If
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: I've just spoken the word on I drive down, never
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: tell me anything.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Why are we trunnling off into the wilds of the
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: country disguised of the furniture removers and carrying the harmless.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Chair with us?
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Surely the reason is transparental chapter.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: It's just about as transparent as duff stocking.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Full of hot tripe.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: My dear, what surely dokers that we're up against an
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: extremely cunning murderer? Now what a dantage a crew to
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: him in using the malath gyerl chair an aliba?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Of course he's known the other place where they murder happens.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Then apply your logical little further. Three of the suspects,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: the daughter, mister Vinion, and Fellahs the butler live in
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: the house and would almost certainly have been personal at
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: the time of death. Therefore, who gains most by such
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: an alibi? Brother, telementary Madam Watson, Now you see why
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: we tundled off into the wilds of talking.
• 17:25

  Speaker 3: Good day, Governor did.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: That was a false Traiale Homes obviously knew nothing about
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the chair.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: He thought it was first to.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Harmless, and as indeed it was, that the murderer were
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: the pot of people. I've slipped up in my reasoning
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: somehow confun of course, who I am. Get back to
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: London as fast as miss next can take us. Come on,
• 20:01

  Speaker 4: Back to Safeward's house on the staging of a little Dama,
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: I'm sure we'll give us the final answer to this problem.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: You know the arrangements of the strand yes, miss Rooms,
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: I've got misserving, young bean and the butler waiting outside,
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: and no one knows we switched the chair splendid.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Sure this is the harmless chair.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Of course I am. I sit in it, so run
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: my hands over the arms. Yes, this chair is harmless,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: as every person save one will know. Show once, mister Es.
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: No, I think we'll fix Irving and mister opinion first,
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: this opinion coming, please, said Ivan.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: It's just so horrible. He knew there in the same
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: chair when I saw father.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, mister Holmes, it's a trifle till maccaw before you
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to assume the position of the cops.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Please get up.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: But it seems to be the most comfortable chair in
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: the room, and I do like my comfort when I
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: interrogate witnesses. However, it's hardly chigalrous, is it? I'm deserving?
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Pisa down, won't you?
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: I I don't like to sit down in the chair
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: which father died. We couldn't bear to see you standing
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: very well, then don't sit down there?
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Why not, opinion? What's the matter in the chair? Safe?
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Never had you care to s admit to prove that
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: the chair is safe? No, no, sit down?
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Very well.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: There splendid curious chair, isn't it, mister Binion. I wonder
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: about these carvings on the arms. They look almost as
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: if they might activate concealed springs. I wonder what would
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: happen if I know?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Thanks, mister hunter trying to kill me?
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Can you then you know how to head? And the
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: policemen were murdering?
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: Eh?
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I knew it must have something to do with the chair.
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: You knew more than that, Robert, you planned it. I
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: remember now that when we went to the shore as you.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Were no no what to not go after them? The
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: struggle stop him? In any case? The police are at
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: the door. Oh I'm tired. I think I'll sit in
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: this rather faithful armchair.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: So it was young Vinyon all the time, eh, yes, and.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: He all but that smarted me. I reasoned that somehow
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: the murderer must have intended the device of this chair
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: to clear him. And suddenly I saw the real motivation.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: How better establish his innocence and seeming to be obviously guilty,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: and yet leaving a trail whereby and astute deduction could
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: seem to fill him.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Did I hear the servant came to you. He used
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: you as a cat boy.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: And I'm afraid this whole case is a rather humiliating
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: experience for me. The stuard had arrested the right man
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: in the first place. Oh, oh, my dear Watson, I
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: shall never hear the end of this never.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Ha ha a
