  Speaker 7: Come away and attended things I wasn't with her, and no,
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: my love, my level.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: But she can't live my life. Oh, evely, heavenly Emily.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: That was Emily, my only wife. She left me a
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: widower with an income of four hundred pounds a year.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: It's rather extraordinary how long it took her to die.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: To look at the girl, you never have thought that
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: she was thin and sickly, but in possession of what
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: must have been the constitution of an ox. Had been
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: poisoning her steadily for six months and expected.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: There certainly to die within three.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: It was a case history for the Medical Journal, so
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: I wrote them a paper about it, anonymously, of course.
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: Inspector Warreng sergeanty liar from the editor of the Medical Journal.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Why did they voted to the yard And.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: There's a manuscript that came with the letter Resistance to
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Physiological Action of Alkaloid poisoning case history. You see why anonymous?
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: What's the man there? The medical journal people seemed to
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: feel that the man who wrote it did the job too.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Put it on my desk.
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: I'll be there in half an.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Hour Later, three weeks after Emily died, I made arrangements
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: to move to London.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: There was no trouble, but then I hadn't thought there
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: would be.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: The good doctor had made out a certificate based upon
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: the history which I supplied. I had decided upon a
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: refined intestinal disorder which bought a magnificent Latin name and
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: closely paralleled the symptoms brought about by the poison administer.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: So much for the late and unlamented Emily Cream.
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm sure, as are you find this room most suitable, sir.

• 7:20
  Speaker 6: a man at my disposition. Now the daughter she'd mentioned,
• 7:24

• 13:37
  Speaker 2: electrical system does match perfectly with every other part to
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: give your car the smoothest performance money can buy. You
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: mean the auto light coil distributor generator. They're all related,

  Speaker 2: You bet they are half because the units that make
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: up the complete auto light electrical system and their thousands
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: of component parts are all related by auto light engineering
• 13:59

  Speaker 6: felt well because I could sleep. My sleep wasn't a
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: tall rest fly. I had dreams, horrible.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Frightening dreams. I remember that just before I dropped off
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: to sleep one night.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: Soon after Milly was taken that, I thought to myself
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: that I must speak to missus Min's about the cooking
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: heavy stuff.
• 15:20
  Speaker 16: Oh oh, doctor, bream doctor, doctor creed, wake up, wake up,
• 15:37
  Speaker 16: doctor right up.
• 15:38
  Speaker 17: It's all right, uh in the manner, I hope you
• 15:46
  Speaker 17: will forgive the liberty. Sir, I'm afraid you were having
• 15:48
  Speaker 17: a nightmare. It sounded as though you were being murdered.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Where did I you thought I was? Oh? H Did
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I say anything? You screams? Oh? Is that all it sounded? Well?
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: I'm awfully sorry. It's very good to you that we
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: concern You're that young medical student. Missus Minds told me
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: about Bridgemins. Yes we should have a chance. Well, they
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: sued lunch. Perhaps you specializing.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I haven't made up my mind yet.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Doctor good, good, good, lots of time for there.
• 16:26
  Speaker 17: Yes, well, I think i'd better go back to bed.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: I'll to trouble not at llus good night. I wonder
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: is he lying? Did I say something? Did he hear it?
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I wonder last two weeks past and I was safe.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: Nobody knew, nobody unless mister Edward Bridgman, the medical student.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: I'd taken him to lunch two or three times. And
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: we talked medicine for the most part, but he had
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: a way of looking curious and knowing.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: And decided to write the letter to Scotland.
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: Yard Commissioner Inspector Warring. Here, I think we've got something
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: more on that poison case in Hull and Millie Vickers.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: Here's a letter, and he says to whom in may concern,
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: I have information which can lead to the arrest of
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: the person responsible for the murder of Milli Vickers and Hammersmith.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: Is it worth three thousand pounds if they leave the
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: money at the pillar box on the corner of Kensington
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: and Earl's Court Road, plane wrapping paper will do? And
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: it signed a O'Brien, private detective. Yes, sir, yes, we'll
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: see to it straight away.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: It was aggravating not to be able to learn whether
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: the police had accepted my offer. I could have used
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: the money, but other more important things were occupying my time.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: Mister Bridgman a loathe bright young man, and I had
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: a feeling that he was watching me cleanly and carefully.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: I had to put a stop to that. He knew
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: that was certain, so I took to following him as far.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: As I could make out. He didn't voice his suspicions
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: to the police. But there was a girl.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: He met her from time to time, and one day
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: when they were having tea together.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I think he saw me, because.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: When I stood outside the tea shop, I saw mister
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: Bridgman lean across the table and talk rapidly to his sweetheart.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: That would have to be taken care of. It was
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: a week later. I beg you, father, you must think
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: me awfully rude. But aren't you Edward Bridgman's young lady?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 19:05
  Speaker 12: Why?
• 19:05
  Speaker 16: Yes?
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: But I don't no, no.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: No, we haven't met.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Edwards told me so much about you, though I saw
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: you together as I went by on the bus last
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: and last week.
