now it's time for today's episode of Nick Carter. After going back over a
1:46
couple of weeks where we've found some episodes. We're back on track with this
1:49
episode from February the first of nineteen forty eight. The title is the Case
1:56
of the Classical Clue. Hello called Silper two eight four eight At all You

2:43
that music schedule from station WXKX, Yes. From seven thirty eight last night,
2:47
the evening Music AU program was on as usual, all classical h that's
2:52
right. Then from A to eleven they had three solid hours of swing music
2:55
from different nightclubs. How about that bungo bongo too, Riff Jackson and his
3:00
band played it at nine fifty three. Oh good. That not only tells
3:04
us what time the murder was committed, but also who did it and how.
3:07
Now for the Case of the Classical Clue, Today's adventure starring Lon Clark
3:12
as Nick Carter, dropped you by new post war Old Dutch cleansing. It's
3:17
a dull weekday morning, and things are pretty slow at Nick's office. He's
3:22
opening the mail while his assistant Patsy Bowen types a couple of letters. Hey,
3:29
Patsy, you ever hear of Henry Worth? Henry were that extentric millionaire
3:34
who lives on top of his own private mountain. Yes, there's a letter
3:37
from him here in the morning's mail. On the check. Oh, get
3:39
him on the phone. Will you numbers here in the letter cliff Side three
3:44
four nine eight. Okay, operator, operator cliff Side three four nine eight,
3:53
Please cliff Side three four nine eight. That's right. What's up,
3:57
Nique? Something exciting? Once his wards Beyonce investigated, it seems that mister
4:01
Worth doesn't approve of the engagement. Oh oh hello, just a moment please
4:08
here, Nick, Hello, Nick Carter speaking mister Worth. Is mister Worth's
4:13
secretary. I'd like to talk of mister Worth himself. Please. I'm afraid
4:16
that's quite impossible. I think if you'll tell him who it is, he'll
4:19
speak to me. I doctor, mister Worth is dead. He's dead.
4:24
Yes, he was murdered last night. Are we almost at the top of
4:38
this darn mountain? Nick? Almost Betsy House should be around the next turn.
4:42
These hairpin turns are making me dizzy. Watch out of that rock in
4:46
the road, I said, step rolled down from somewhere above. Probably have
4:51
to clear a few rocks off this road after every big storm. Nick,
4:55
this Claudia Rowe who asked you to investigate the murder. Who she she was
4:59
Henry Worth's ward, the one who's fiance wanted me to check up on.
5:02
When I spoke her on the phone, she asked whether i'd take charge of
5:04
the case. Uh huh, Oh, there's another of those rocks in the
5:08
roads. Oh, there's the house up ahead going ck. It's a real
5:12
mansion. Uh huh. I'mlet's see the inside of it in just a minute.
5:15
The local chief of police said he'd have everybody there waiting for us or
5:29
before I talked to the other's chief, Benson, I wish you'd tell me
5:30
just what happened, Oh, mister Carter. First of all, mister Worth
5:34
was alone here last night. There were no servants in the house. No.
5:38
Mister Franklin, that's the old man's secretary, was in Patterson visiting his
5:42
sister. The other two were in New York. Oh what other two Cardia
5:46
Rowe is the one who has you, mister Carter. Oh yes, and
5:47
Don Worth, the old man's nephew. He lives here too. They're the
5:51
ones who found the body when they got back a little after twelve. How
5:54
long had he been dead? Well, it was almost an hour before I
5:58
got here, so I wouldn't be able to tell you, and the medical
6:00
examiner couldn't tell for sure either. He was out on a private case.
6:03
He didn't get here about two a m. What did he say? He
6:06
said Worth couldn't have been dead over three hours. He was killed some time
6:11
after eleven o'clock. Then, apparently, Well, I guess i'll start off
6:15
by talking to the people who found the body. I must roll. I
6:28
suppose you'd tell me about last evening. Well, Don and I went into
6:31
New York about seven point thirty. We went to a show and we were
6:34
going to a nightclub after it. But I tried to phone Uncle Henry to
6:38
say we'd be late, and he didn't answer. But worried us because we
6:42
knew he was alone here. Besides, it was raining, and that rode
6:44
up a mountain gets awfully bad in stormy weather, so Don thought that we'd
6:48
better get back home, I see go on. Well, when we got
6:53
to the house, I could hear the radio going in the music room,
6:56
so we looked in there first, and there he was. One of you
7:00
saw the body first, I did it. At first I thought the room
7:03
was empty, and then I saw his feet sticking up from behind the sofa.
7:08
And not take it easy, honey. First we thought he might have
7:12
helen a heart attack or a stroke. When I went over to see the
7:16
it was a knife in his throat. And then what did you do?
7:20
Well? I told Claudia he'd been killed in the phone the police. I
7:24
didn't want her to see him, not like that. Oh, it was
7:27
ghastly. And you called the police, Miss Row, Yes, I called
7:30
him from the phone in the hall. Are you here? Oh? Yes,
7:33
I'm in here. Morgan came as soon as I heard what happened.
7:39
Yeah, Mitter Carna, this is my fiancee, Morgan Fenwick. How do
7:42
you do Carter? You're not Nick Carter, the private detective? Yes?
7:46
Yes, why how do you what's he doing here? I understood it was
7:51
a burglar that killed mister any reason? Do you think it wasn't mister Fenwick?
7:55
No, of course not. Uh huh. I sit down, will
7:58
you? I am, I may want to ask you some questions, of
8:01
course, thanks, all right, don't ad anything unusual happen earlier in the
8:05
evening, No, after dinner, Uncle Henry and I had coffee in the
8:09
music room while Claudia went upstairs to dress for the theater, and the two
8:13
of you left about seven thirty. About that, I think the servants had
8:16
gone a few minutes before. How about mister Worth secretary? Oh Franklin was
8:18
with his sister in Pattison. He he left before dinner. I see,
8:22
well that brings us to you, mister Fenway Nick. I think I've found
8:26
something. The Chief thought I better show it to you right away. Here's
8:30
Miri Carter. I think we've got a real clue. Good what is it?
8:33
Bessie? Well, we were looking around outside and I picked this up
8:37
beside the driveway. Oh Man's glove? Is it yours? Done? No?
8:43
And it's not Uncle Henry's either. I'm sure that why that that happens
8:48
to be my glove? I must have dropped it when I came in.
8:50
Just now, I see, while sheif Benson. I think the next thing
8:54
is to look at those photographs you took of the body. Ooh, here's
9:07
the picture of the body, just the way we found. It's lying on
9:09
the floor behind that sofa right next to you. Room. Here is just
9:13
the way it is, wasn't it? A lot of thing's been changed.
9:16
We turned the radio off, but we left it tuned to the same station,
9:20
fifteen ten. That would be w XKX. That's right, the midnight
9:24
classics program was still on when I got here. I see, Oh,
9:28
patsay, I wish you to do something for me. Of course, Nick,
9:30
what is it? The medical examiner says, mister Worth couldn't have been
9:33
killed earlier than eleven o'clock? Is that right? Chief? Right? And
9:35
don mister Worth's nephew phoned from New York at about eleven thirty and got no
9:39
answer. Well, that gives us a pretty good idea of when he was
9:41
burdon. Hey, he does it that? So check that, William Patsy,
9:45
you get in touch with the phone company and find out the exact time
9:48
of that call from New York. I'll do it for you, miss Bowen,
9:50
and I can probably get the information quicker than you can. Thanks,
9:52
Chief. Let me know as soon as you find out whatever. Right,
9:56
Oh, I think I'll have a talk with mister Worth's secretary, Carl Franklin.
10:09
How long have you been mister Worth's secretary, mister Franklin? Seven years?
10:13
Was he a nice fellow to work for? It was fine, fine,
10:16
as long as he got his own way. That sounds as though you
10:18
might have had trouble with him. Oh, so somebody told you that Worth
10:22
just fired me? Did they? It's a matter of fact, no,
10:24
no one did. But I am interested. Seven years I've been his secretary,
10:30
seven years of giving my whole life to this job, day and night,
10:33
and then to be tossed aside like an old shoe. Why did he
10:39
fire you, mister Franklin, because he found out that I was in love
10:41
with Claudia. I see. I asked the permission to tell her how I
10:46
felt, and he laughed at me. You resented that, I suppose,
10:50
Of course I did. I lost my temper and then he grew angry and
10:54
told me I could leave at the end of the week. Oh what were
10:56
his objections? I was interfering with his plans, something nobody was ever permitted
11:01
to. Do you mean you were interfering at mister Worth's plans for his ward?
11:05
Yes, he decided years ago that Claudia and Don should marry, but
11:09
she defied him. She didn't want to marry Don. No, wait a
11:11
minute, maybe we're getting someplace. Was there a quarrel when Claudia became engaged
11:16
to Morgan Fenwick? A quarrel the old man said she didn't marry Don.
11:20
He was going to change his will and cut her off without a penny.
11:24
Oh, it certainly gives her a motive. She had no opportunity passes.
11:28
She was in New York at the time of the morning. Yeah, got
11:30
the information for you, Nick. Oh good, let's have it. She
11:33
The call from New York came in at exactly eleven twenty eight, and they
11:37
rang fifteen or twenty times. Don kept insisting that his uncle was home,
11:41
that they should keep on ringing. In other words, he was killed before
11:45
eleven twenty eighth. And I found out something else too. There was a
11:48
telegram phone from here last night at tenth Let me see seven thirty three telegram
11:54
to whom to Morgan Fenwick in New York. Well, now I got a
11:58
copy. I had listened to this imperative. I see you tonight regarding Claudia,
12:03
we'll expect you eleven o'clock my home, signed Henry Worth. What if
12:18
I did receive that telegram? I tell you I didn't come out here.
12:20
But why didn't you? Fenwick? Well, it it was raining. Do
12:24
you know that mister Worth was going to make a new will, disinheriting his
12:26
ward? Well? I yes. But in other words, the fact that
12:30
Worth was killed before he could change his will meant that you would marry a
12:33
couple of million dollars instead of a girl without a penny. But I tell
12:37
you I wasn't here. I didn't come near the place, mister Fenwick.
12:39
I have here the glove you said you dropped to the drive this morning you
12:43
happen to have the mate to it. Well, yes, mind if I
12:46
see it? And oh, oh who you are? Chief? What time
12:50
did it stop raining last night? A little after twelve o'clock and this morning
12:54
the sun is shining? What are you getting at, Nick? Look at
12:56
these gloves, Betsy. See the difference I got? I do? Why?
13:00
Of course, the one mister Fenwick just gave you looks like news.
13:03
The other is spotted with sand and gravel mark and the leather as stiff,
13:07
just as it would be if it were left on the ground during a rainstorm.
13:11
All right, all right, I was here, but I didn't kill
13:13
the old man. Do you think I could stick a knife into his heart
13:16
knowing that Claudia loved him. Let's say I said you've been laying Henwick.
13:20
You were here last night? Yes, I was. But that doesn't mek
13:24
A Henwick. I arrest you for the murder of Henry Worth. Golly,
13:39
it's worse coming down this mountain than it is going up. H huh.
13:43
But are you so quiet about me? You ought to be proud of yourself.
13:46
Should I of Corey less than an alley you broke down? Fenwick's story
13:50
improved. He was at the worst home at the time of the murder.
13:54
If he doesn't get the electric chair, I missed my gifts. That's what
13:58
bothers me. Patsy Benwick is innocent. Patsy stares at Nick in amazement as
14:11
he maneuvers the car down the steep, winding road. For by his own
14:13
admission, Nick has built up a very convincing case against an innocent man.
14:18
We'll see what happens in just a moment. Now back to the case of
14:26
the classical clue. Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought you by a new postwar
14:31
all Dutch cleanser. Morgan Fenwick is under arrest for the murder of Henry Worth
14:35
on the strength of the evidence that Nick has uncovered, and yet Nick says
14:39
that Fenwick is innocent. He's now talking to Fenwick in the Eastland County jail.
14:43
Fenwick, I know you didn't kill the old man. That's why I'm
14:46
here. Oh, yes, what made you change your mind? I remark
14:50
you made just before you were arrested? He said, do you think I
14:54
could stick a knife in his heart? Knowing that Claudia loved him well worthless?
14:58
That in the throat, not the heart in the throat. So obviously
15:03
you didn't know that, so you couldn't have been the one who did it.
15:05
Well, then why didn't you tell the police? I tried to tell
15:07
the chief, but he refused to believe it was important. Why now,
15:11
why did you alive Enerick about being at the house. Well, because I
15:16
was afraid that if the police found out that I was there, they they
15:18
never believed that I didn't do it. Exactly what did happen? Well,
15:24
when I got the old man's telegram, I started out immediately. I didn't
15:28
wait till eleven o'clock. It wasn't even teniant when I got there. Uh
15:31
huh. There were lights on in the house, and I could hear the
15:35
radio playing. No one answered when I rang the bell. Maybe the radio
15:39
was the loud worth couldn't hear you. I rang for five minutes. Then
15:43
I pounded on the door and I yelled. He'd been alive. He couldn't
15:46
have missed hearing me. He was alive until at least eleven o'clock, according
15:50
to the medical examiner. Now what time did you get back to New York?
15:54
Oh? Not for hours. I drove around trying to think, and
15:58
you don't have an alibi, not a shred of one. Oh, by
16:02
the way, did you recognize any of the tunes the radio was playing?
16:04
It was swing music? Oh yeah, I recognized one of the pieces.
16:08
It was that jungle thing, bongo bongo. All right, I think I
16:11
another one. You mean, all right, thanks, But what's that got
16:15
to do with it? I want to do some checking up, Fenwick.
16:18
I helped get you into this, and I promise you I'll get you out
16:21
of it. But mister Carr, that's impossible. Morgan couldn't have heard that
16:33
bongo bongo song on I'm Uncle Henry's radio. Why not miss rule? Because
16:37
Uncle Henry hated swinging music. He wasn't allowed to be played in the house.
16:41
I see what programs did He like? Nothing but classical or semi classical
16:45
music. There's a program from seven thirty to eight that he never missed.
16:49
What stations you know, w x k X. I believe he was listening
16:53
to it when we left the theater, and that same station was tuned in
16:56
when you got home. Yes to the midnight classics program. He liked that
17:00
too. That maybe he just left the same station on all evening. No,
17:03
Uncle Hanny would never do that. Huh. He never had a program
17:06
on anything but classical music on the radio in his whole life. Well,
17:11
if that's so, the only answer is that Morgan Fenwick is lying. Oh
17:25
howerbats he did you get that schedule from station WXKX. Uh? Huh?
17:27
Will I put the window down and starting to rain, I'll do it.
17:30
Okay, Well, here's the schedule for last night. I have new XKX
17:37
the evening music. Our program was on from seven thirty eight as usual,
17:40
all classical huh yes. But from eight to eleven there's a program called Swing
17:44
round the Town three solid hours of broadcast in different nightclubs. That's what I
17:48
wanted to know. How about that piece Bungo Bungo? For your information,
17:52
mister Carter, the correct name of that tune is Civilization, and it was
17:56
played by Riff Jackson and his banded exactly nine fifty three last night. And
18:00
Fenwick was telling the truth. He said he got there just before ten.
18:03
It also proves that the old man's radio was two to something else beside classical
18:07
music. Well is that important except to prove that Benwick was there at that
18:11
time? Certainly is Passey? That radio schedule you just read me, together
18:14
with the facts I already know, tells me exactly what time Henry Worth was
18:17
murdered, Who did it? And how? Hello? This is Chief Benjin
18:33
Oh, this is Nick Carter. Chief. Oh, yes, Nick,
18:36
your office told me i'd find you at the Worth home. Thought you considered
18:38
this case closed? What are you doing out there? I still have a
18:41
few wads and anas to clean up, But I've still got the killer locked
18:44
up safe in jail. Don't you worry about that. As a matter of
18:47
fact, Chief, the killer is somewhere in that house with you, right
18:49
now he's what I said. You still that chief? Yeah? Sure,
18:55
but look, if you've got truth anymore, I can't talk now. What's
18:59
the matter. Someone's listening in on an extension on your end, probably the
19:02
person we were talking about a minute ago. I'll tell you when I see
19:06
you. Who's in the house now? Everybody? The last I knew,
19:08
Miss Road, don Worth, and mister Franklin. Of course the servants.
19:11
Suppose you keep them all there with you. I'll be out there in forty
19:15
five minutes. Oh boy, quite a night for a ride? Does Jorn
19:30
klouds Key? Passing in front of the moon and I can hardly see a
19:32
thing? Well, you didn't have to come along, you know, and
19:34
miss the most exciting part of this case. Come on, Nick, tell
19:40
me who did it? They wait, passy, I have to give all
19:44
my attention to this road. It's better nothing good weather. Well, at
19:48
least you can tell me who we're after. Why, Patsy. You should
19:51
be able to figure that out for yourself. Yep, Oh, what's the
19:55
matter. What's the matter? Nick? What stuck the darn it? Ah?
20:00
Wish i'd put on chains. Well, might as well get out and
20:04
see if I can do anything. About it. Golly nay, is that
20:11
thunder. That's not thunder, it's a rock slid. Out of this Run
20:15
out of the car quick, yep, hurry, we'll have to run for
20:17
it. Hurry, let me look at coming down faster, Patsy. As
20:33
Nick and Patsy run frantically from the path of the avalanche, a cascade of
20:36
rocks and earth roars down from the side of the mountain. We'll see what
20:40
happens in just a moment. Now for the conclusion of the case of the
20:48
classical clue. Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by a new pulse
20:53
war old Dutch cleanser. The car stuck on the steep, winding road that
20:59
leads to the home of hen Nick and Patsy are caught in the path of
21:02
a rock slide that roars down upon them from the mountain side. They leave
21:06
the car and run frantically down the road as oh, thanks Heaven, I
21:18
thought we were gone, And for sure it was a pretty close shave.
21:22
Blackhead was just a small local slide instead of a real avalanche. I'll say,
21:26
as soon as we get our breath back, let's get on up to
21:29
that house. I'm anxious to talk to the person who arranged this little welcome
21:32
for us. You mean it wasn't an accident, Unless I'm mistaken that slide
21:37
was started by the same person who killed Henry Worth. It's Rae, Don,
21:51
mister Franklin, and Chief Benson. I'm glad you're all here together.
21:56
It's Roe. As you left for the theater last night, did you see
22:00
your uncle? Oh, of course you did, Claudia, as we were
22:03
going out the door. Oh no, no, no, no, you're
22:04
wrong. Don. Remember you and your uncle Henry had coffee in the music
22:08
room and when I came down, you were waiting for me for the stairs,
22:12
and you didn't actually see your uncle, I know. And when you
22:15
returned from the theater you saw the body as you and Don were standing in
22:19
the doorway to the music room. Yeah, that's right. What all you
22:22
saw was his feet and legs sticking out from behind the sofa. Yes.
22:26
Don went over to see what had happened, and then he told me not
22:30
to go in, but to call a police from the hall telephone room.
22:33
What are you getting at, Nick, Just this, Chief Henry Worth was
22:36
alive when Morgan Fenwick knocked on the door shortly before ten o'clock. Sure he
22:40
was also alive when that phone rang at eleven thirty, But that's impossible.
22:42
And he was alive when Claudia saw his legs sticking out from behind the sofa
22:47
at twelve fifteen. No, No, he couldn't. He was. He
22:49
was alive until you went into the hall the phone for the police. Then
22:52
while you were phoning, Don stabbed him. That's a lie. I didn't
22:56
touch you, Chief. I want a laboratory examination of those coffee we found
23:00
in the music room and an autopsy on Henry Worth's body. Well, of
23:03
course, Nick, but why yes, Nick, what are you getting at?
23:06
I think you'll find the coffee he drank with his loving nephew at seven
23:08
thirty was drugged. That's ridiculous. That's why you didn't see him when you
23:12
left, Miss Rowe. Your uncle was already stretched out, unconscious in the
23:15
floor behind the sofa. What down had placed him so you could discover him
23:19
when you will be pack Lenny, you can talk later. That's why he
23:22
didn't want you to take a good look, Claudia, and also why he
23:26
sent you out of the room to telephone, because the murder hadn't been committed.
23:30
Yet you're crazy. Why would I drug him and then wait five hours
23:33
to stab him to establish an alibi? Don an almost perfect alibi by trying
23:38
to put through a phone call at eleven thirty and then letting Miss Row discover
23:42
an apparently dead body when you returned, you made it appear that Henry Worth
23:45
was killed before you got back. So all the time they were gone,
23:48
Worth was only drugged. That's right. Don knew a medical examination would prove
23:53
that Worth was not dead until after they left at seven point thirty. Well,
23:57
come on, Sanny, let's get I'll bet Miss Roe's boyfriend'll be glad
24:02
to move out of your cell and let you have it all by yourself.
24:17
Nick, you said that radio schedule told you all about the murder. How
24:19
did it, oh, passy? We knew that the radio was tuned to
24:22
a program of classical music on WXKX at seven point thirty and again at twelve
24:27
fifteen on the folks returned from town. Yes, according to Fenwick, it
24:32
was tuned to a program of dance band music on WXKX at ten o'clock when
24:37
he was there, So for three hours the radio played swing music. Uh
24:41
huh, And we know Henry Worth wouldn't allow anything but classical music in his
24:45
home right, and that means he was either unconscious or dead. But we
24:48
though he wasn't dead until after eleven o'clock. So I began thinking back the
24:53
coffee he drank with down early in the evening, the fact that nobody saw
24:56
him alive again, Claudia's story that Don sent her out of the room without
25:02
a chance to look at the body. I did all edded up. But
25:04
what was his motive? It was the girl that mister Worth was disinheriting.
25:08
As a matter of fact, it was both of them. You see.
25:11
When Claudia announced her engagement to Fenwick, Don went to Worth, his uncle
25:15
and insisted that he make Claudia marry him. Don oh. When Worth said
25:19
he couldn't force her to do anything against her will, Don got mad.
25:23
He blamed Worth for the way things had gone, and before they were threw
25:26
they had a really serious quarrel. So the old man decided to cut Daun
25:30
out of his will too. Humph. It was that kind of man.
25:34
Then it was done who sent that telegram to Fenwick, the one telling him
25:37
to be at the house by eleven. Right, he was not only establishing
25:40
an alibi for himself, but putting his rival Fenwick on the spot too.
25:44
Then, later, after listening in on your phone conversation with Chief Fenson,
25:47
Don realized you were on the right track and tried to kill us by starting
25:51
a rock slide. Awn. I didn't take much to start it in such
25:52
a stormy night. Well, if it had worked, he'd have been sitting
25:56
pretty. A lot of murderers think that, Patsy, how they always find
26:00
themselves sitting pretty in an electric chair. Nick, what sort of adventure do
26:14
you have for us next week? Welcome back? Well, Nick turned out
26:18
to be right, and the chief of police turned out to be wrong.
26:22
But in his defense, he was thinking more real life policemen as opposed to
26:29
radio detective because the clue of the first suspect misidentifying where the wound was inflicted
26:38
not only doesn't really prove anything, but it could have been a clever dodge
26:44
to camouflage's own guilt. Of course, it didn't turn out to be that
26:48
way. I have to admit that when they described him having three hours of
27:00
band remotes, that definitely sounded appealing, un Like the deceited I'm actually a
27:10
very big fan of nineteen forties music and the swing varieties, but also others.
27:17
It was just a great era for music. You not only had Bing
27:22
Crosby, but you had so many great singers in so many different varieties.
27:29
You had John Charles Thomas, Gordon McCrae, Duke Ellington, Meredith Wilson.
27:34
He's a wide variety of talents, singers, composers, band leaders. For
27:41
my money, that's my favorite era of music, from the nineteen forties into
27:48
the early fifties. It just doesn't get a whole lot better than that.
27:52
And of course the band remotes, while they're not completely unheard of, they
27:56
are relatively rare, most of them lost for obvious reasons, but quite a
28:03
few with the Duke Ellington of surface. And also there's a whole series called
28:08
Let's Go Night Clubbing. And then for the classical stuff there's the Bell Telephone
28:14
Hour. Again, in my opinion, just a great era for music.
28:18
But enough of that for now. We'll be back tomorrow with yours truly,
28:23
Johnny Dollar, and next Thursday it'll be time for another case with that master
28:29
Detective Nick Carter. In the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen at
