- 0:22Speaker 2: The Shadow loads.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Before today's adventure with the Shadow begins. Here's a safty
- 0:57Speaker 3: message of vital entrant to every car owner. Once at
- 1:00Speaker 3: treadworn tire starts the skid over a wet, slippery road,
- 1:04Speaker 3: troubles can happen in the wink of an eye. That's
- 1:07Speaker 3: why it's important to equip your car with the tire
- 1:09Speaker 3: that gives the quickest non skid stops. It's the new
- 1:13Speaker 3: good Drake Safety Silver Towns with the life saber tread
- 1:16Speaker 3: that sweep wet road so dry you can light a
- 1:19Speaker 3: match on its track, No wonder. This new kind of
- 1:22Speaker 3: tire will stop you quicker, greater on a wet road
- 1:26Speaker 3: than you've ever stopped before. For safety's sake, Get.
- 1:29Speaker 4: Good Drakes, Safety, Silver Towns. The Shadow, mysterious character who
- 1:43Speaker 4: devotes his life to righting wrongs, protecting the innocent, and
- 1:47Speaker 4: punishing the guilty, is in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young
- 1:51Speaker 4: man about town, student of science, and master of other
- 1:54Speaker 4: people's minds. Using advanced methods that may ultimately become available
- 1:59Speaker 4: to all law enforcement agencies. Cranston is known to criminals
- 2:03Speaker 4: and evildoers, as the shadow never seen, only heard as
- 2:09Speaker 4: haunting to superstitious minds, as a ghost, as inevitable as
- 2:14Speaker 4: a guilty conscience. Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane,
- 2:19Speaker 4: is the only person who knows to whom the unseen
- 2:22Speaker 4: voice belongs. Today's story, Ghosts can kill.
- 2:34Speaker 5: Fort would come to water.
- 2:37Speaker 6: Proceed, mister District Attorney, Your honor and gentlemen of the jury,
- 2:41Speaker 6: you have heard the evidence against this man, Ralph Cormon.
- 2:44Speaker 7: Three eyewitnesses of unimpeachable character saw him commit the murder.
- 2:49Speaker 7: He was caught at the scene of the murder with
- 2:50Speaker 7: a gun in his hand. It is the duty of
- 2:53Speaker 7: the jury to convict him. Ralph Corman has been brought
- 2:56Speaker 7: to court seven times for serious crime. All I admit
- 3:00Speaker 7: my clan has been brought to court. The past is
- 3:03Speaker 7: always furnished an unbreakable alibi, and it's been acquitted.
- 3:06Speaker 5: Therefore, I claim that this record is irrelevant.
- 3:08Speaker 7: Objection sustain very well. That doesn't all of a safe case.
- 3:12Speaker 7: In this instance, the accused has no alibi. He is
- 3:16Speaker 7: guilty of murder. Answer therefore be sent.
- 3:18Speaker 5: Up a chair order in the court.
- 3:22Speaker 6: I think the question before the jury is a clean
- 3:25Speaker 6: cut issue. The defendant, Ralph Gorman, admitted a peculiarly cold
- 3:30Speaker 6: blooded murder.
- 3:32Speaker 7: There are no halfway, Majors. He's either guilty or not guilty.
- 3:36Speaker 6: I therefore instruct the jury to return a verdict of
- 3:39Speaker 6: acquittals or first degree murder.
- 3:42Speaker 5: The jury will require to consider the.
- 3:44Speaker 8: Burden the prisoner will cease. This to seventh up one.
- 3:55Speaker 8: That's the matter, and to like my music. This is
- 3:58Speaker 8: a court of law, Gorman. While you are waiting the
- 4:01Speaker 8: verdict of the jury, you will please conduct yourself.
- 4:03Speaker 3: But I'm always taking the fire well, Margot.
- 4:09Speaker 9: I've seen many murder trials in my time, but I
- 4:12Speaker 9: have never seen.
- 4:12Speaker 10: One where the accused man played on a mouth organ
- 4:15Speaker 10: while waiting for the jury descend into the chair.
- 4:17Speaker 11: Lamont, Didn't Gorman one of the toughest chancers alive?
- 4:21Speaker 10: Yes, my estimation, Ralph Gorman is public enemy number one, Margot.
- 4:25Speaker 11: Yet he's never been caught and said to prison Lamark.
- 4:27Speaker 11: You heard that in the testimental.
- 4:28Speaker 9: He's been caught.
- 4:29Speaker 10: Often enough, they've never been able to convict him because
- 4:32Speaker 10: he's always been able to furnish an absolutely air tight alibi.
- 4:36Speaker 9: It's time for some unexplainable reason.
- 4:38Speaker 10: He has no alibi. If there's any justice, he should
- 4:42Speaker 10: be put away for good.
- 4:44Speaker 11: He'll come to jury back and again said he didn't
- 4:46Speaker 11: take long.
- 4:47Speaker 9: Decision after the evidence they heard, they should.
- 4:52Speaker 5: Court will cut the water.
- 4:54Speaker 9: Gentlemen of the jury, have you reached the verdict?
- 4:57Speaker 5: We have your honor. He finds the accus who's rout
- 5:00Speaker 5: Gorman guilty of murder in the first degree, corfu water.
- 5:07Speaker 3: The prisoner will stand. Welp, Gorman.
- 5:11Speaker 6: You haven't proved the manners to society, and society has
- 5:15Speaker 6: passed judgment upon you, who have been found guilty of

- 12:36Speaker 11: Not a single clue.
- 12:37Speaker 5: Commissioner, Well, we have two clues, but they don't make sense.
- 12:41Speaker 10: Perhaps they don't make sense to the professional detective, but
- 12:44Speaker 10: an amateur on the intellectual side of crime might be
- 12:47Speaker 10: able to help you out.
- 12:48Speaker 9: Commissioner, what were the clues?

- 13:00Speaker 3: He thought he got a glimpse of.
- 13:01Speaker 7: Ralph Gorman, and Ralph Krman is known to threaten Oscar
- 13:05Speaker 7: Borton see and the other clue, Commissioner, The other clue
- 13:08Speaker 7: was even swimmer on. The maid says she heard of
- 13:11Speaker 7: mouth organ being played in mister Bordon's study about the
- 13:13Speaker 7: time the murder must have been committed.
- 13:14Speaker 10: Why had all hinges together perfectly, Commissioner, Don't you see
- 13:17Speaker 10: Ralph Gorman has threatened Oscar Borton. He plays the mouth organ,
- 13:21Speaker 10: and he'd been seen hanging around the house. Well he's
- 13:23Speaker 10: your murderer.
- 13:24Speaker 7: Very pretty fairy, Cranston, the only hit tears that Ralph
- 13:27Speaker 7: Gorman was put to death last night at eleven o'clock
- 13:29Speaker 7: in the electrics there at State prison. He was, Yeah,
- 13:32Speaker 7: you should read the papers, you see he's an amateur criminoogist.
- 13:35Speaker 7: You're not so hot after all, Cranston.
- 13:37Speaker 9: Well have you salved Oscar Bordon's murder?
- 13:41Speaker 2: Oh not yet?
- 13:42Speaker 10: Well sure, no better than I am, then, Commissioner Weston.

- 13:49Speaker 10: solid policemen around anyone Ralph Gorman might have had.
- 13:51Speaker 9: A motive to kill.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and then what then I'd look for.
- 13:57Speaker 9: The ghost of Ralph Gorman.
- 13:58Speaker 5: It's swacky, you're not place. Come now, you better get
- 14:01Speaker 5: out here.
- 14:01Speaker 7: Question.
- 14:01Speaker 5: I've got important what to.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Do while we're waiting for the second active begins. Here's
- 14:15Speaker 3: the thought I'd like to leave with you. There would
- 14:17Speaker 3: be far less wrong during in this world if those
- 14:20Speaker 3: tempted would heed the shadows familiar slogan crime does not
- 14:24Speaker 3: pay yes, and there would be fewer accidents on our highways.
- 14:29Speaker 3: If each and every motorists obeyed traffic.
- 14:31Speaker 10: Laws the shadows. Don't try to pass a car on
- 14:36Speaker 10: a curve, don't pass a street car that has come
- 14:40Speaker 10: to a stop a few seconds laws is better than
- 14:45Speaker 10: a lifetime of regret. Play safe, it pays.
- 14:51Speaker 3: And here's another motoring don't that every car owner should obey.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Don't gamble on tires. Don't risk life and limb from
- 14:59Speaker 3: skid and blowout when you can get life saving protection
- 15:02Speaker 3: from these two dangers at no extra costs. The tire
- 15:06Speaker 3: for your family's safety is the new goodrich Silver Towns
- 15:10Speaker 3: with the life savored tread. Here's how it works. The
- 15:13Speaker 3: spiral bars of this new tread act just like your
- 15:16Speaker 3: windshield wipers. They sweep the water right and left, hoist
- 15:20Speaker 3: it out through deep drainage grew. In fact, this new
- 15:24Speaker 3: tread sweep wet road so dry you could actually light
- 15:27Speaker 3: a match on its track. But that isn't all the
- 15:29Speaker 3: freedom from driving differs that Silver Towns give you. Every
- 15:33Speaker 3: tire has the famous golden plies, your constant protection against
- 15:37Speaker 3: that eternal fear blowout for the quipkest non skid stop
- 15:41Speaker 3: you've ever had. For real blowout protection. Equip your car
- 15:45Speaker 3: with goodrich safety, Silver Towns. That's the way to play safe. Hello. Hello, Oh,

- 19:22Speaker 9: Yes, I've been reading his papers.
- 19:25Speaker 11: How could Ralph Gorman have come back from the yet, Margo?
- 19:29Speaker 16: Yesterday I would have said it was totally impossible. Today,
- 19:34Speaker 16: thank you. I don't know this moment, I don't think
- 19:37Speaker 16: of any other hypothesis that would have ton for the
- 19:39Speaker 16: known fact.
- 19:43Speaker 3: What did you say?
- 19:45Speaker 11: I really said?
- 19:46Speaker 9: Why did you say that, Jamia?
- 19:48Speaker 11: I don't know. I was just thinking, why does it
- 19:50Speaker 11: mean anything?
- 19:51Speaker 9: In this instance? It may mean everything this. It gives
- 19:54Speaker 9: me a pool.
- 19:55Speaker 17: Margo, is your car outside? Well, come on, we're going places.
- 20:07Speaker 17: I'd be careful, Margot, watch how you're driving.
- 20:09Speaker 11: Told me to step on it. I thought you wanted
- 20:11Speaker 11: to get to the Regal Hotel in the hurry.
- 20:12Speaker 9: I do, but I'd like to get there all in
- 20:14Speaker 9: one piece.
- 20:15Speaker 11: This is a fine time to tell me that. Incidentally,
- 20:17Speaker 11: why the Rigal Hotel.
- 20:19Speaker 10: Governor Roberts is staying there addressing the Manufacturer's dinner at
- 20:22Speaker 10: the Colossus Club tonight.
- 20:23Speaker 9: I'd like to be sure he lives to make it.
- 20:25Speaker 11: Oh, now you're being mysterious again. Why shouldn't Governor Roberts
- 20:29Speaker 11: live to make you see?
- 20:30Speaker 9: Because I have reason to believe he's next on the
- 20:32Speaker 9: list mark for murder.
- 20:34Speaker 10: I have an idea that if any attempt is made
- 20:36Speaker 10: on the Governor's life tonight, it'll probably be tonight.
- 20:40Speaker 9: Ah, his hotel. You'll just pull off the curb, all right,
- 20:46Speaker 9: I said, up to the curb there, not over it.
- 20:48Speaker 11: Oh, if I'm.
- 20:50Speaker 10: Not mistaken, so will somebody else. Before the night's over, O,
- 20:53Speaker 10: go buy my ruined Thanks for the ride.
- 21:05Speaker 8: This is a service entrance, Governor, Right through that door
- 21:08Speaker 8: there you will be on Marine Street. Good, thank you.
- 21:11Speaker 8: That's what I told my car to wait to Governor Roberts.
- 21:14Speaker 8: Do you think this is wise? Wise Latham? Of course
- 21:17Speaker 8: it's wise. What danger can there be? I'm going straight
- 21:20Speaker 8: to the dinner at the Colossus Club alone in my
- 21:22Speaker 8: own car, with my own chauffeur. Just as you say, sir,
- 21:25Speaker 8: through this door to the street, you said, Porter, yes, sir,
- 21:28Speaker 8: thank you. Now where's my car? I told Henry to wait.
- 21:35Speaker 5: Oh?
- 21:35Speaker 9: There he is.
- 21:39Speaker 3: To the Colossus Club, Henry.
- 21:40Speaker 7: See, Henry, this is the most preposterous thing I ever
- 21:48Speaker 7: heard of.
- 21:48Speaker 2: In my life.
- 21:49Speaker 3: What's our police force turning into a bunch of old women?
- 21:53Speaker 3: Ralph Gorman?
- 21:54Speaker 8: Of course I couldn't pardon him. The man was guilty.
- 21:57Speaker 8: He certainly can't come back from the dead. Kenny, Henry,
- 22:00Speaker 8: all this cocking bull story about playing a mouth organ?
- 22:03Speaker 8: You don't sleep, Henry? What's making that noise?
- 22:08Speaker 3: Henry?
- 22:08Speaker 2: Did you hear me?
- 22:10Speaker 5: Henry?
- 22:10Speaker 9: What's the matter with you?
- 22:11Speaker 3: This isn't the way to the Colossus Club. You're heading
- 22:13Speaker 3: for the river. Stop the car, Henry, Ah, why you're not, Henry,
- 22:20Speaker 3: that's right, I ain't Henry.
- 22:21Speaker 5: Governor. Don't you remember me Ralph Gorman half Gorman. Oh, oh,
- 22:28Speaker 5: it's not possible, yes, say me.
- 22:30Speaker 13: Don't you?
- 22:31Speaker 3: Can you remember how I used to play the mouth
- 22:33Speaker 3: organ in the death House like this, Stop the car,
- 22:37Speaker 3: let me out.
- 22:38Speaker 12: I'll let you out, all right, and ten feet of
- 22:40Speaker 12: water when we get to the river.
- 22:42Speaker 5: No, no, let me out you and then let me
- 22:44Speaker 5: out of the chair. Did your Governor? I fined? Remember,
- 22:49Speaker 5: and you're drowned. Stop the car, stop it. I say,
- 22:53Speaker 5: you kill a pool and.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Kill a dead man, can you?
- 22:56Speaker 5: Governor? Oh? Oh? Who want the club by himself scanned the.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Death I wouldn't be too sure of that garment.
- 23:12Speaker 3: What's that?
- 23:14Speaker 2: Governor Roberts is unharmed, He's only fainted. He has a
- 23:17Speaker 2: weak heart. Who is that? Where are you? You didn't
- 23:21Speaker 2: know you had the shadow at a passenger?
- 23:24Speaker 5: The shadow, Well, you can't hurt me. Even a shadow
- 23:28Speaker 5: can't harm a ghost.
- 23:29Speaker 2: But you're not a ghost Gorman.
- 23:31Speaker 3: And that's what you think.
- 23:33Speaker 5: Don't you know that Ralph Gorman is dead?
- 23:35Speaker 2: Certainly, but you're not Ralph Gorman. You're his twin brother, Arthur.
- 23:40Speaker 5: That's a lie.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Oh, it is nothing. I went down to the City
- 23:42Speaker 2: Records office and checked up on the birth certificate.
- 23:45Speaker 10: A very pretty little story. Your mother had twin boys,
- 23:49Speaker 10: concealed the fact from everyone. He brought you two up deliberately.
- 23:52Speaker 2: For a life of crime. Very convenient, wasn't it, Darthur.
- 23:56Speaker 1: No matter what crime one of you committed, the other
- 23:58Speaker 1: was always seen somewhere where else at the same time
- 24:01Speaker 1: you furnish a complete alibi.
- 24:04Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm out the Gorman, Ralph Gorman's twin brother. We
- 24:07Speaker 5: hadn't got the awl mixed up. They'd never convicted Ralph
- 24:10Speaker 5: that last time.
- 24:11Speaker 9: Too bad, wasn't it?
- 24:13Speaker 1: After all the trouble your mother had taken for years
- 24:15Speaker 1: to conceal the fact you would.
- 24:16Speaker 5: Twin How did you get onto it?
- 24:19Speaker 2: Why? A friend of mine used the expression jimminy, and
- 24:23Speaker 2: I naturally connected that with geminy.
- 24:26Speaker 3: I don't get it.
- 24:27Speaker 2: You wouldn't.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Gemeny is the sign of the zodiac, which means the twin. Well, Arthur,
- 24:35Speaker 1: this is a very interesting discussion. But I think now
- 24:37Speaker 1: you'd better stop the car.
- 24:38Speaker 9: Oh yeah, what do you think I am crazy?
- 24:41Speaker 5: I never gonna point me.
- 24:42Speaker 2: That's a matter of opinion. All right.
- 24:44Speaker 5: You got me, but I got you, SHADOW got you
- 24:47Speaker 5: where I want you? As the river right ahead of us.
- 24:49Speaker 5: I'm gonna drive over the impactment.
- 24:51Speaker 11: I'll drowned, but so are you.
- 24:52Speaker 2: I'll drive right over the edge out of this emergency breakworks.
- 24:54Speaker 15: You would.
- 25:05Speaker 5: You ran hang on into the warehouse wall. I see,
- 25:12Speaker 5: well how about it talk well, I'll see then.
- 25:16Speaker 3: In fact, it's Governor Lover take you.
- 25:19Speaker 5: No, you go right?
- 25:20Speaker 3: I think, just think it shocks probably Doc. How about
- 25:23Speaker 3: the other guy.
- 25:24Speaker 9: The sofa here is dead? Dead, It's too bad.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Hey, his face, what's familiar?
- 25:30Speaker 2: What is it? You know?
- 25:30Speaker 3: Him? A good guy in the chauffeur out?
- 25:32Speaker 7: But is it a living image of a government called
- 25:34Speaker 7: Ralph Gorman?
- 25:35Speaker 3: Ralph Corman?
- 25:36Speaker 5: It can't see Ralph Corman went to the jail last week. Well,
- 25:38Speaker 5: if it ain't him, it's his twin brother.
- 25:42Speaker 1: If only you'd been able to tell us that a
- 25:44Speaker 1: week ago, justice would have been served a great deal
- 25:48Speaker 1: more quickly.
