  Speaker 11: Just a few moments ago, as gendarmes discovered the body
• 6:04
  Speaker 11: of a woman hanging in the Twillery.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: She had been hung to a tree by a rope.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Routine police matter, ordinarily.
• 6:12
  Speaker 11: Missy Rooms, Yes, however, the case is most extraordinary.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: The woman was the wife of.
• 6:18
  Speaker 11: Marcel Bouton, the distinguished owner of the Bota bookshop.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Really, I know Marcel remarkable shop, one of the best.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Marcel and I correspond frequently.
• 6:29
  Speaker 11: Missy Rooms and the journalist will create a great crisis
• 6:34
  Speaker 11: over the death of Madame Bouton.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I must find the killer immediately. I need your help.

  Speaker 4: As best we could?

  Speaker 3: Here's grief stricken, where's the body?
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: I have closed the twillery? Doctor Watson. I have ordered
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: that the body be left hanging from the limb exactly
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: as it was found. It awaits your arrival, messy rooms.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Very wise, Inspectan.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Then you you will help us move all this solution.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: I will arrive at the solution, my dear Inspector Watson
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: a cab.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It's rather chilly out in the Parker homes. We had
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the John Darms, but tortures too. It's terribly dark in.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: This way, message Arms.
• 7:22
  Speaker 11: You may see the guard we have stationed about that
• 7:25
  Speaker 11: huge tree set and there.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: You need Dutch light.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Swaying from the limb of the tree. The body of
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Ali's spontan horrifying sight. Inspector has Marcel, this dead woman's husband,
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: any notion as to how this occurred?
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, he is too ill.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: He is prostrate. It would be a few days before
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: we can question him thoroughly.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: But is it home?
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: So you see, I see, my dear Watson, I must
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: pay a visit to Monsieur Charles Guillaume, the eminent French publisher.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: What on earth does he have to do with this
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: grizzly crime?
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: More than he would imagine. In the obscure record of
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: that publisher, there's a forgotten entry which contains a clue
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: as to who is responsible for this homicide. That entry
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: speaks the name of the criminal, just as if this
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: dead body before us were whispering it too, whispering the
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: killer's name as it executes a macabre dance in the moonlight.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: It's pleasant to shop in your local clipper Craft store
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: wherever you live, because your clipper craft merchant is an established,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: substantial hometown business man who is anxious to win and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: keep your friendship, to please you and give you more
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: value for your money. He has joined with over twelve
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: hundred outstanding merchants in a vast pool of buying power
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to make clipper craft values possible. Clipper Craft genuine worsted
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: suits for forty five dollars and clipper Craft top coats
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: for forty to forty seven fifty would not otherwise be possible.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: For clipper Craft quality is the traditional quality of New England,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the same careful craftsmanship that built the famous Yankee clippers
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: from which clipper Craft clothes take their name. You can
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: trust clipper Craft clothes and you can trust the men
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: who sell them. That's why men who know insist on
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: clipper Craft clothes bearing the clipper Craft label, so be
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: sure to visit the clipper Craft store in your city.
• 9:24
  Speaker 12: These leading stores in the metropolitan area are proud to
• 9:27
  Speaker 12: add their names to clipper Craft in your suits and
• 9:30
  Speaker 12: top coats. In Manhattan, John Wannamaker Men's Stores Broadway at

  Speaker 1: Now Doctor Watson, Doctor Watson, Shall we return to the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: adventure of the Hangman and the Book.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Well, mister Header.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: After Holmes examined the body of Alice Bonton in the twillery,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: he noticed a small detail he would not disclose. Next morning,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: he dashed to the offices of Monsieur Guillon, the publisher.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: He returned with a Cheshire cat's grill that indicated he
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: was close to his presend. Then, sometime later we visited
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Monsieur Bonton at his bookshop, the shop who was dismal.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Lapidd you near it? Indeed, a frightening press. Mishaur Bonton
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: came talk Miss Elms.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: I am enough. I hardly expected to see you on
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: this trip myself. You know doctor Watson.
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: You have mentioned him to me frequently.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Delighted.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: How do you know they've heard of my tragedy?
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, myself? Could you recount what occurred the evening of
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: your wife's demise?
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: She left me to visit somewhere. She seemed done troubert,
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: so I allowed her to leave and did not escot
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: after where she was going. Evidently, on her way home
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: late that night she chose to work. For the fact
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: it's really alone. I would say she was attacked by
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: a night father. She resisted him did away with her.
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: I was awakened by a gendarme who bought.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: The terrible news. You have a teary perhaps miss you.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Homes Perhaps I see you still have a magnificent collection
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: of books. We is this your entire stock here in
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: the shop.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: Yes, our apartment is upstairs our book.
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: Scene and below the shop the seller is lucked. Monsieurs.
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: We have not been to the cellar in many years.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Anyone worked for you here, Monsieur Bonton.
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: And Boyd Clark all death.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Where is he?
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: That is a problem. He did not report for work.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: These past two days.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Were your relations with Albert on a pleasant basis, not
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: the tiring?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: How long has you been in your employees approximately?
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: Man, what trouble have you had? I I'd like to
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: place the young boy in a dead light, but I
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: have reason to believe he was marred in front of
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: my wife.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: I see a chat with Albert, then might be very enlightened.
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: At these missims. I am not accusing the book clerk.
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: You have his address twenty seven series, Albert, Julia.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Come Watson to talk with the boy. Yes, perhaps this
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: romantic young clerk in his leisure moments is a hangman.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Well, Holmes, what's our next step? His landlady said the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: clerk Albert hasn't been home for a few days.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: We shall return to the Bonton bookshop. Watson, we've been there. Oh,
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: we shall return much later this evening, midnight, I should say,
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: when the owner has left. We shall again visit the
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: mysterious bookshop.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: But Holmes, you looked at.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: There is one spot we did not see by far
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: the most interesting too.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: What spot is that?
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: When I'm quired about it, Bonton turned white. You tremble.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: What spot home the cellar, Watson, we shall pay a
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: midnight visit the cellar.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: As the door don't all cellar hose will be locked.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Of course, that is why I brought a few instruments
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: with me, Watson, to coss the lock. The childish and
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: simple Bonnie. I've made an extensive study of continental lucks.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Here we are now quietly, Watson.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: I should work at the cellar door and keep an
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: eye out. You are. I shouldn't take it a moment
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: see anyone hear anyone?
• 13:37
  Speaker 13: No?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: All clear?
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Go on, simple luck.
• 13:43
  Speaker 13: Just another moment, I hear someone hopes coming down the street.
• 13:48
  Speaker 13: I must finish Harry homes. You'll be seen one one more.
• 13:56
  Speaker 13: Here we are quickly the doors all I mean careful
• 14:02
  Speaker 13: wickedy wooden steps match, Watson. Might the candle be brought
• 14:07
  Speaker 13: a certainly pose? What do you expect to find down here?
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Good lord? It was seems so foul must have plit
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: you see the rats?
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: The answer is here. What's the answer must be here?
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Is what sort of shocking secret lies in the cellars?
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: And looking for it?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Looking for it down here?
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: That correction, Watson left, bring the candle. I am mamma
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: but why is it dark at night? And me why
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: it's the darkened night? Mamma.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: It's the clerk. How bare I know him from his
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: landlad his description? He's been tied of pose. Look he's
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: bound to that pillar.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, so he has, and apparently he's gone insane.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, wick over his head. Isn't that a form of
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: ancient torture?
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: It is the water lever, accomplished in this case with
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: a large pitcher and a punnel, which is replenished now
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: and then by his captor. Albert was bound to that pillar.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: But a steady drip of water strikes his head and
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: he's gone mad, tortured also by the darkness, my hunger
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: and thirst, and the huge rats against which he's been defenseless,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: and time.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: What's the first, of course? Just the water. The water.
• 15:19
  Speaker 11: The water doesn't stop, you'd see, only your mind stops.
• 15:25
  Speaker 14: That's a cruel animals, perhaps not as cruel as men.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: They enjoy human flesh.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: It must be rushed to a hospital, maybe years before
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: his senators restored the pillow.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: What is a colorless compound of the hydrogen and oxygen.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: It is very helpful to man. It is beautiful in
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: the form of my the ocean's legs and the rushing rivers.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: It has.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: There's many uses.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: All the family sent you to life homes.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: What are you looking for?
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Ah?
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: There we are this shelf. What is it? A book
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: faded to eligibility and parts very dusty? A book the
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: book Watson, though not outstanding in this surprising collection.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I see you mean you originally stolen to the cellar
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: simply to find that book.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, now we must find Marcel Monton immediately.
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: I will spare you the efforts, Missus.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Not very hospitable of you, Marcel to greet us with
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: a pistol.
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: I'm familiar with your reputation, Missieurs. I realize what become suspicious.
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: So I've been waiting for you with this pistol, which
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: I shall you.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: You have come to put more?
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: What time?
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: The picture of my emison? But no more?
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: What I asked, Miss Jones, what can do?
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: So? This work in my hand is entitled Rare Techniques
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: in Homicide. It includes an exact reproduction of a Persian
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: manuscripts written in the time of Darius the First. The
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: subject of it take niaks of torture and murder used
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: during the Peloponnesian War.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Homes. Why that book?
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: When I observed myself's wife hung the limb of the
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: tree Watson, I noticed she'd been tried with a special knot.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: I recognized it immediately. It was the very peculiar knot
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: for Garrotting described in the Persian manuscript. There was just
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: one place on earth where that knot is described in
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: this book. I knew there were just two copies of
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: this work left in the world.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I see you have one at Baker's Street, I dare.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Say, of course. I therefore asked Illon, the publisher, an
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: expert bibiophile, where the other copy was.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: He told you I had it then, as you are, Yes.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: He did. Therefore I paid you a visit to look
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: for it. I found it, monsieur.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: That unfortunately does not prove that I Alice. Why not because.
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: Albre Mclark, gibbering there on the corner could have ready too.
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: He has been to the cellar before I have found
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: him there, prior to the night of the Melbourne.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Yes, mycel When I saw the knot, I immediately realized
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: the killer must either have been you or Albert, your clerk.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: But Albert could never have read this book and learned
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: to tie the fatal knots by Nut. It was here
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: he had access to it, observed the book, Sir, It's
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: faded to the point of being illegible.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Is the murder blather?
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Before day? Could he call upon your excellent knowledge of printing? Sir?
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Has it not been at least a year since this
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: type was legible? Look at the pile of dust accumulated
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: upon this book. Has it not been at least a
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: year since the book was touched at all? And did
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: you not say to me yourself that you've employed Albert
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: for only a month? Remarkable, Marcel. You executed the contents
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: of the book to the letter. The book relates that
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: the ancient punishment for adultery was physical death for the wife,
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: So you murdered Alice. And the punishment for the lover
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: was more subtle, was mental death, torture to the point
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: of insanity. So you punched upon Albert, tied him to
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: that post in this cellar, and arranged your diabolical water pitcher. Yes,
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: you've been deeply affected by this amazing collection of books.
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: You see it for you, gentlemen, the gay secret of
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: my cellar, which I had come see you all these years.
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: In every book on the subject of crime, Everett.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: I noticed you the secret records of Caligular for Commada
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: during inquisition, the Bloodstain memoirs of the Borger.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: This was my real world down here, the world upstairs,
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: my shop, my wife.
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: I was unhappy there this beagan as a hobby and
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: intellectual pursuit.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: But then I go to absolve it to heavenly.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, I'd say, you become intoxicated with crime.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: Time and again.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: I was tempted to try committing a crime, and it
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: was always in the back of my mind when I
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: found the Leaf was making a puppet of me, when
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: I found how she hated me, when I found out
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: about her, and al there.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: You satisfied your desire and accomplished what you believed the
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: justice by enacting what you read in this strange com.
• 19:42
  Speaker 14: And now I have a wonderful opportunity to know the
• 19:44
  Speaker 14: satisfaction of committing a great crime with you, of killing
• 19:49
  Speaker 14: both of you, and then leaving out there as I
• 19:51
  Speaker 14: planned to run away in the corner of my cellar
• 19:53
  Speaker 14: in Living Death, my own memoir will be a glorious
• 19:58
  Speaker 14: new addition to my collection.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: He's going to pull that trigger by leg Are you
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: all right, missy owns Doctor Watson.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Yes, Inspector, I am coming down.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I have gone Tom Stern, peer, Inspector.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 20:14
  Speaker 11: It was very four sighted Messer Rones to tell me
• 20:17
  Speaker 11: to come by should you meet Bata unexpectedly?
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: Unexpectedly, my dear Inspector, it's obvious my reputation here on
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: the continent is not what is thout the British Empire.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: You may inform your associates that there is nothing unexpected
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: to monsieur, shut up homes. Tell doctor Watson that was
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: a very thrilling story.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Indeed, well, I'm delighted that you found the adventure so exciting,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: mister Harris, and I do believe that next week's story
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: is just as griffing. It is called the Adventure of
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: the East End Strangler. It concerns a city in terror,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: a scream and the night, a bit of blue thread,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and an old lover.
