1 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:34,439 Welcome to the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio from Boise, Idaho. This 2 00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:39,000 is your host, Adam Graham.

Well, before we do get started, our 6 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,679 listeners support campaign continues and there are two ways to support the campaign. Either 7 00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:04,959 because I'm a Patreon sponsor at Patreon dot Great Detectives dot net, and you 8 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,200 can support the show with one time donations at support dot Great Detectives dot net. 9 00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:15,799 In this show, I'll just focus on our Patreon goals, and then 10 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,599 after the show, I'll talk about the Patreon rewards. With Patreon, you 11 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:26,079 can have a regular monthly mount amount sent to support the Great Detectives of Old 12 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,560 Time Radio, which definitely will provide us a lot of stability on the show 13 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,640 in terms of income. I continue I've continued to look for advertisers, but 14 00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:41,120 I found it a difficult challenge just because of the format of the show as 15 00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:47,519 well as the overall audience appealed to. And we're looking to expand our video 16 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:53,599 theater from one episode a month to two, and listeners support can help with 17 00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:57,760 that. If we have a total of eight hundred dollars per month and listener 18 00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:04,640 pledges, we will upgrade our server, which will allow us to better be 19 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,080 able to serve our growing traffic. At the one thousand dollars level, will 20 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:15,759 avoid ads and sponsor announcements prior to the show except during the listener support campaign. 21 00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:23,280 At the thirteen hundred dollars a month level, we'll look at upgrading software 22 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,680 and hardware used to produce the show, and at the two thousand dollars a 23 00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:32,000 month level, we won't do any more listener support campaigns, but we will 24 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,520 have listener appreciation specials instead. And at the three thousand dollars level, we 25 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:46,240 will start another weekly podcast series not related to Great Detectives, but using old 26 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,000 time radio that will be determined in part by the vote of the fans, 27 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,159 in particular Patreon supporters at various levels. But we'll talk about that more after 28 00:02:55,199 --> 00:03:00,439 the show. Well, now we'll get into today's episode of The Saint. 29 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,879 The original air date is June third of nineteen fifty one and the title is 30 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:32,960 The Girl with the Lower Birth The Adventures of The Saint starring Tom Conway. 31 00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:50,039 The Saint, based on characters created by Leslie Charteris and known to millions from 32 00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:53,240 books, magazines, and motion pictures. The robin Hood of Modern Crime now 33 00:03:53,319 --> 00:04:02,080 comes transcribe to radio, starring Hollywood's brilliant and talented actor Tom Conway as The 34 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:15,960 Saint. Mind if I sit down here, mister, Oh no, I 35 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,639 don't mind. Thanks.

Mister Doyle? It's okay? How would 39 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,800 you know you haven't touched it? Being on a train kind of spoils my 40 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,519 appetite, So that's what spoiling your appetite? Sure, what else I wouldn't 41 00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:55,920 know?

No, from where I stand, 59 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,639 i'd say you'd graduate where I stand. I'm getting tired of standing. Oh, 60 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:49,399 I'm sorry coming. It's a little late to begin a beautiful friendship. 61 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:55,800 I'm frightened. No, I just telling me that. And they're very beautiful, 62 00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:58,360 you know, a lot about women, don't you? Not as much 63 00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:01,720 as i'd like. I'm married, did Jim Doyle? Doyle, I don't 64 00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:05,079 know him. I want you to meet him to night so I can be 65 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,160 frightened too. You're coming into town the Chicago Limited in a few hours. 66 00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:12,279 Oh, you will want me to bring him flower. I want you to 67 00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:17,360 see that he gets home alive. Well, the police do fairly well at 68 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,800 that kind of thing. I can't go to them. Oh you're afraid too. 69 00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:28,800 Why did you kill me if you found out? I see where is 70 00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:31,360 home? Forty nine Marble Avenue, and I'm to see that he gets there 71 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,680 alive. You haven't told me why he might not, nor do you intend 72 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:43,759 to. Why should I bother missus Doyle? Perhaps because I'm lonely and afraid. 73 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,040 Perhaps because i'd like you to call me Madge, Simon. I have 74 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,160 no one else to go to, all right? I meet his train? 75 00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:56,680 When is it? Drive in the morning? Five hours to go. Then 76 00:07:57,399 --> 00:08:01,959 I'll go home now, taking care of things, Simon, I might even 77 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:18,519 be able to sleep. Has some dreams, Madge. Another drink, Lola, 78 00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:24,439 what are you trying to do? Launch me? Don't be that way, 79 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,720 baby, I'm drinking right along with you right now, I'd say you 80 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,439 were a couple of blocks and from me. Hey, what time is it 81 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:41,399 anyway? Damn? Or two thirty almost early ours? Baby, Hey, 82 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,480 you don't tell me the trains running out of gas. That's just christful, 83 00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:50,519 that's what it is. Just a whistle stop. I was talking about whistling. 84 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:58,799 I said it was a whistle stop. Awful, dark guys. Good, 85 00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:03,279 think somebody lives in these times. I knew a fellow once living a 86 00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:07,240 small town. Yeah, it was a dope. What did you see out 87 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,799 of the window? A couple of people getting off some wait and they get 88 00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:18,440 out. Hey who you're throwing your whiskey? Ah? I didn't throw it 89 00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,919 slipped out of my hand. That's so. Yeah, I'm wise, your 90 00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:26,200 hand shaking. I'm tired, you're scared. Look look, let let's get 91 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,720 out of this club. Card too many people anything you say? Yeah, 92 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:37,399 this kind of a switch the girls being the fellow? Yeah, funny. 93 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,039 So why don't you have somebody pulling the train out? Come under me? 94 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,840 Just hold on to me. Just switched an engines? Are they all a 95 00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:52,120 fast? These trains down? But yeah, this here's my car. The 96 00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,279 compartments right along here Oh, aren't you fancy? I just got a lower 97 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,480 birth Yeah. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, 98 00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:03,720 come what man? What all? Girl's gonna be careful of her reputation? 99 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:09,080 Nobody around but even please come in. We'll gab a while better. 100 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,559 Okay, give me here are it's kind of darkning? You want you to 101 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:39,240 put a light on her templar? Oh, Lieutenant Flynn, what are you 102 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,240 doing here? Is there a law against lurking on station platforms? Don't tell 103 00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:48,000 a commissioner you meaning to train. It's easy to see why they made you, 104 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,879 lieutenant. Oh, thanks very much, friend of yours, coming in 105 00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:56,799 on the limited. That's hard to say it translated. You mean you're not 106 00:10:56,039 --> 00:11:01,720 saying why are you here? I'm crazy about trains? Oh? Also, 107 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,559 the department got a wire. Seems somebody on that train wasn't a very good 108 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,120 traveler. Seems he died en route. His train sickness can be overdone. 109 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,720 Huh wasn't exactly train sickness. What was the name of the man you were 110 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,279 meeting again? Why do you say it was a man? Now? This 111 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,399 fellow stopped a couple of bullets in the worst possible place. Are there any 112 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,879 good places to stop bullets. You're not too busy, Templary. When the 113 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:31,720 train plods in, maybe you'd like to climb aboard with me. Take a 114 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:35,120 look at the fellow I'm talking about. Oh, I might not be too 115 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:48,840 busy. What's his name? Doyle, Jimmy Doyle. They didn't improve his 116 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,120 appearance the bullets. I mean, whoever shot him didn't have a beauty treatment 117 00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:58,159 in mind. You know I'm Templary. His name is Doyle, Jimmy Doyle. 118 00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:03,240 Isn't that what you told me? You fence? Very nice? When 119 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,840 did he die? Closes? A medical examiner just figured he must have been 120 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,080 shot around two or three in the morning. Oh, it's nice to know. 121 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,639 He died in a private compartment. Whoever shot him had fun ripping the 122 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:20,799 place up. He could have been looking for something. Wonder what as I'm 123 00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:24,200 wondering too, Lieutenant, nice to have got me. Could have been diamonds, 124 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,600 so Doyle collected them. I hate to tell you this, but he 125 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,360 was a bad boy. Stole em oh for shame in Chicago. He and 126 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:37,519 a couple of other bad boys, one of whom er wore glasses. How 127 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,679 do you know that not much of a guest, Lieutenant. This is what 128 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,159 I just picked up off the floor. Looks like a tiny hunk of crumbled 129 00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:46,759 tissue remain came out of a sight safe a package. Lieutenant. That tissue 130 00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:50,240 was used to wipe a pair of glasses. Let me have it, thanks 131 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,480 one of the bad boys who pitched him on the Chicago deal with Doyles, 132 00:12:54,519 --> 00:13:00,879 a man named Kerner. The important point of the moment being wears glasses. 133 00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:05,120 Well, that tissue is mildly flimsy. Is evidence, but it helps you're 134 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,320 thinking, huh No, No, nobody had a shance when God was killed. 135 00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:13,000 Nah, it's noisy on a train, it man, I've been going 136 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,679 through a tunnel at the time. Well, it's been fun, Lieutenant, 137 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:22,000 but it could be even more fun templary. Oh, if you would let 138 00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:26,519 me introduce you to Lola, And who is Lola? The kind of girl 139 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,039 your mother wouldn't have liked. Well, since I'm not my mother, some 140 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,759 other time perhaps, but may be another time. We're booking her own suspicion 141 00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:39,200 of murder. She went glasses and the men do make passes. They're being 142 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,559 too kind to me. She and Doyle were lapping up firewater all evening. 143 00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:46,960 She went with him to his compartment. This one laim. She chatted with 144 00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:50,320 him for a while and went to her own birth. Nobody saw her at 145 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,919 the important time, though too bad. It's only suspicion of murder. Well 146 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,360 has been chummy with lots of crooks, especially jewel crooks. Sounds like a 147 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,799 case. The only trouble is whoever knocked off Doyle was after the diamonds. 148 00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:07,519 Lola doesn't have the honor. Lucky for Lola, did the trains stop any 149 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:13,240 wine route? Jerkwater town named Haynesville too interesting? But I still like to 150 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:16,960 have you talked to Lola. Why you're pretty? And I am? Oh, 151 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,159 thank you? You might you might get something out of her. Furthermore, 152 00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:24,240 if you do, I'll stop wondering what brought you here? Oh? 153 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,840 That does it. I couldn't bear to think if you're staying up nights wondering 154 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,440 lead me to up. We're keeping her in compartments. See a couple of 155 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,679 doors down from here, keep her company. We've got to search everybody on 156 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,840 the train. Aren't you going to introduce me? Just smile at him. 157 00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,720 Oh, I would do my best. I'll remember the last guy who was 158 00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:54,960 alone with her wound up? Then how long that we have to hold up 159 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,639 in this room. Not long. You'll just be glad you're off of that 160 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,519 train. Yeah, you know, I never I did like cops like one 161 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,720 thing. You gotta give him credit for. They know how to search a 162 00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:07,679 man. For a while back there, I wasn't sure they were going to 163 00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:11,840 leave the skin on me. Hey, what's the matter, Mitch, I 164 00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:15,519 am, I'm wondering where the stones are? Kind of yeah, yes, 165 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,080 so am I. They weren't in that compartment. We tore it apart, 166 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,320 couldn't find them. I didn't. I wait a minute, Mitch, you 167 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,399 were with me all the time. Sure, we got on the train. 168 00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:28,039 But according to what the cops were thrown out as somebody visited Doyle while you 169 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,240 and me split up locating Now were berths. Yeah, but we had to 170 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,600 take berths in different cars. We'd have been spotted too easy if we hadn't 171 00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,559 sure sure Except what the way it worked out, you could have got the 172 00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:41,799 Doyles compartment before his body was found. You could have shot him and ditched 173 00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:43,519 the stones. Yea, So, my friend, could you would I bring 174 00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:46,799 it up about your might you might just to make sure that I didn't. 175 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,559 I look, Mitch, there's one thing we know neither of us has got 176 00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:54,559 the stones on us now, no matter who killed Doyle. So so do 177 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,559 you care who killed him? I care about the stones? All right, 178 00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:02,159 then let's start using our heads. Huh. Doyle reached the station in Chicago 179 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,519 with the stones. We figured it'd have him with him all the time, 180 00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:08,720 but maybe he arranged to have them reached New York separate from himself, you 181 00:16:08,799 --> 00:16:12,320 see. Yeah, yeah, all right, Now I got an idea of 182 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,559 where in New York those stones would have to wind up if that's what Doyle 183 00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:22,519 did, And that's where at Doyle's home. So wow, why don't we 184 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,159 drop in on missus Doyle and tell her the sad news? Yea, yea. 185 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,120 That way we get a seat on the inside where we sit and wait 186 00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:45,360 a company. Good evening, Lola, or should be a good morning? 187 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,799 Go away? What everyone should go away and drop dead? But you haven't 188 00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:52,440 even met me. I'm Simon Templer, Lola, you can drop dead too. 189 00:16:53,039 --> 00:16:59,679 Wait, Simon Templer, that's right, good said. That's all a 190 00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:04,559 girl on my condition needs go, Lola. What Lieutenant Flynn told me to 191 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:10,359 smile? I'm smiling. Doctor West would be proud. Oh I don't know. 192 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,880 He just gives me the brush every morning. Are you're funny to that? 193 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,000 Thank you? But I'm slow. I don't want to shake in the 194 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,720 train. I'll be careful. Oh this train shake awful? Easy? Are 195 00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:26,640 it could be I have a hangover? Oh? Well, you were drinking 196 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,880 last night, I was drinking. Well, I hangover seems possible. Then 197 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,200 I can think of a lot better words for it than that. For example, 198 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,960 yeah, you're in trouble. What are you doing practicing to be sir? 199 00:17:40,079 --> 00:17:41,880 Gallaha? Not exactly, because if you are, you're wasting your time 200 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,960 about Doyle. Don't mention him. I can see a space right now. 201 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:52,680 I have blown up. That's a really accurate description. Would you mind leaving 202 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,079 me and my hangover alone? But? According to won't you to the police? 203 00:17:56,599 --> 00:17:59,480 You lift him in his compartment? A life? No? No? 204 00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:03,400 Do you know what his face looked like? Dead? Get out of here? 205 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,839 That point him much? Did you kill Doyle? You don't look like 206 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,359 my diary? Go away? Did you kill do you believe me? I 207 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,279 can't tell us yet. You were after his diamonds, weren't you? It's 208 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:18,599 possible, but I'm not answering that one. How did you know what his 209 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,759 face looked like if he'd been shot. All right, you got beyond that. 210 00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:26,799 So I didn't spill it the cops because I figured I didn't have to. 211 00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:32,599 All right, Now it's different. I went with Doyle to his compartment. 212 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,839 We were both kind of on the trunk side, you know what I 213 00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:37,440 mean, Yeah, I've been there. Well anyway, he was drunk with 214 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,400 me. Sigh. I thought maybe I could pick up a few carrots, 215 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,880 you know, and I think so yes. So he walked into his compartment. 216 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,400 It was dark in there. The first thing that happens is dog gets 217 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,640 shot. Somebody hits me on the head before I can get a good sized 218 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,359 scream out. Who didn't see good? No? No? When I came 219 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,880 to so, I was dead. The compartment had been turned upside down, 220 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,920 and I felt rotten. I want to if they're fast lor birth, just 221 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,319 like home. You could be telling the truth, Lena, What are you 222 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,160 gonna do? Ouch, Hay, there is a bruise on your heir. 223 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,440 One of two things, either that your story is true or that you were 224 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,400 clever enough to acquire that brom all by yourself. It's not the kind of 225 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,319 thing I like to go around acquiring. I don't know if the police will 226 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,920 hold you. I suspect they won't. If they do release you, I'd 227 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:33,359 advise you to be very careful. Avoid diamonds. They're beautiful, but they 228 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:53,920 might be the death of you just a second. Oh hello, missus coroner 229 00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:56,839 and Mitch, do you mind if we come in? You don't mind? 230 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,799 She looks all broken up by grief, don't you? Mitch? All broken 231 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,000 up? Is that a new routine? She don't sound like a new widow 232 00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:11,000 at all? Did you say new widow? Don't tell me you didn't not 233 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,519 in The cops didn't touch with you about what. I guess they didn't. 234 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,960 I guess maybe Doyle didn't bother keeping him posted about his home address. Will 235 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,880 you tell me what happened? Please? Sure somebody took a sudden dislike to 236 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,559 your husband, so you're a widow. When two o'clock this morning he was 237 00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:32,359 on a train. Will die on trains too, you said the police. 238 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,599 He was murdered, Missus Doyle. He isn't bringing home the bacon? Would 239 00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:38,319 you mind leaving? Somebody else may bring it around? We like bacon. 240 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,279 I only just have to put up with us for a while. Mitch. 241 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,079 Take a look around and see if there's any other entrance to the apartment. 242 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,640 Okay, what do you want of me? Mitch and I figure that you're 243 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,480 going to have a visitor soon. We want to be in on the welcoming 244 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,559 committee, and we ought a figure that it should be a very warm welcome. 245 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:10,839 Aren't police stations attractive? Well, they're useful. I guess I have 246 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,920 you to thank for being able to walk out of there. No, forget 247 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,680 it, unless, of course, you'll really kill Doyle. I never kill 248 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,119 a man. Why not? I like are you might like diamonds even more? 249 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,440 But I don't. Well, it's been nice meeting you, Lola, 250 00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:30,480 but I have simon. Why are you in such a horror? Well, 251 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:37,079 I've got a special date. Who a widow? What's so special about a 252 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:52,839 widow? I just want to see if she's married a kernel? Yeah, 253 00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:56,440 times person, We got lots of it. Actors bolted and all we gotta 254 00:21:56,519 --> 00:22:02,960 do that there. It is great here across the mass. You'll be quiet. 255 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,200 Okay, we kill the lights and wait. The doors are locked, 256 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,599 and after a while, junior out there is going to get impatient. Either 257 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:18,519 handled and that the door is open and walk right in. Do let me 258 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:30,640 wrestle. Friend. They shouldn't take very long madge with the lights on high. 259 00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:34,799 He had a glass jaw, oh, Simon, I'm so glad, 260 00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:41,640 so glass, so am I when you're righting the bell? I was terrified. 261 00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:45,079 And when the door open, you weren't there. You took too long 262 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,279 answering the doorbell. I thought maybe something might be wrong, so I kicked 263 00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:52,440 the door open and buck to a side until the fireworks stopped. This gentleman 264 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:59,279 with the glasses here, it's Colonel h No one's going to make passes at 265 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,640 him either except the coroner. He's dead. The other Mitch, yes, 266 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:10,720 you'll recover. Karnah was near the door. Mitch fired the guns lying on 267 00:23:10,759 --> 00:23:14,519 the floor near him, and he hit Colonel instead of me. A very 268 00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:19,599 pleasant error, Simon. They told me, Jimmy, it's dead. He 269 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:26,440 yes, he was killed. Busn't he yes? Why? He was carrying 270 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,079 a tidy parcel of stolen diamonds. Colonel and Mitch were trying to remove them 271 00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:36,400 from him. Apparently they'd helped him the original theft, so they came here 272 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:44,720 to wait for whom Jimmy. They knew he was dead. I think you 273 00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:45,960 could use a drink, and not a soft one at that. Where can 274 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,759 I find this in the kitten. Come on, Jimmy kept everything in it 275 00:23:52,839 --> 00:24:03,000 tis bolted. I'm gonna make it easier for our unknown friend outside and over 276 00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:08,240 to a side, Madge, because they start trying bullets. Hello, Lola, 277 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,759 come in and shut the door behind you, Simon, I will do 278 00:24:12,839 --> 00:24:19,319 it. Then lend me your bag, Lola. You mustn't think I won't 279 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:26,319 till later. No gun, of course not. Oh you may have your 280 00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:32,440 bag back. You also may have dropped the gun someplace else, Madge. 281 00:24:33,079 --> 00:24:37,240 This is a lady named Lola. Lola, missus Doyle, who is your 282 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,160 son, a girl with a lower birth who was straight into the wrong compartment. 283 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,000 Let's go into the living room, Simon. I came here because I 284 00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:49,440 was afraid for you for the diamonds. No, it wasn't that I The 285 00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:55,759 objects on the floor bother Only one of them is dead, this one, 286 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:03,519 mister Kerner. Nothing interesting in his pockets. As from Mitch Simon. He 287 00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:07,519 wouldn't have the jewels. Let's say he shouldn't have, but he has look 288 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,920 rings, necklace, Simon, Yes, half a dozen pieces. The only 289 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,319 question is are they the things Doyle was bringing in from Chicago? Where's your 290 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:30,440 phone? There? Over there? Thanks. Nature's starting to come to one 291 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,960 of you. Had better take that gun I've got. Hello, Lieutenant Flint 292 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,519 fears point that gun at Mitch if he acts up. Don't be delicate. 293 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:45,319 I won't when I think of how he made Jimmy look at Flynn. Simon 294 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,519 Templar, would you mind reading off a list of the stolen Joel's Doyle who 295 00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:56,079 was supposed to have on him? That's right now? Mhm h fine, 296 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:03,119 Oh no, Lieutenant, not intellectual Carolysis. You see I have exacted those 297 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,000 jewels with me, not to mention the corpse and the killer. The addresses 298 00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:12,480 forty nine Marble Avenue apartment see, and oh, lieutenant, don't hurry. 299 00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:18,400 I'm having fun. And jewels you found on Mitchell are part of the Chicago 300 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,400 loot. Yes, only one thing bothers me. What's Mitch couldn't have shot 301 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:29,359 Kerner? The angles wrong? The angle yes? The signs? Why should 302 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,559 either of them have started shooting? They didn't know who would be coming through 303 00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:37,640 the door, Simon. I didn't want to get involved, but I shot 304 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,880 Kerner. Mitch was holding his hand over my mouth. I had a hand 305 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,720 free. I didn't want them to kill you. Simon. Where in a 306 00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:49,680 unanimous agreement on that. As for Lola, I don't like the way you're 307 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:56,880 looking at me. Oh you imagine standing side by side a very pretty picture. 308 00:26:56,079 --> 00:27:00,279 Now talk to me about pictures. They got frames around them. You 309 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,319 just said the stuff you found on Mitch is part of the stuff Doyle had 310 00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:06,240 with him on the train. MAT's right, Well, that proves Mitch killed 311 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,640 Dora on stole the diamond. No, it merely proves that the diamonds were 312 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,000 not on the train. Look, I never even got through high school. 313 00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:17,359 For me, you have to make it a lot simply. I'd be glad 314 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,920 too. Everyone who walked off the train this morning was thoroughly searched. No 315 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,440 one could have got away with the jewels. Therefore, that jewels went on 316 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,880 the train, not when it reached New York. It is I think I 317 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:33,119 know what you mean. Diamond. Yes, probably because you'll go through high 318 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,200 school marriage. However, where does that leave us? It leaves us with 319 00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:41,039 a start. The train made it around two o'clock in the morning at a 320 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:45,480 small town named Hainesville. I remember that that's where Colonel Mitch got on. 321 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,720 Doyle tall them. He got scared, So that means they gotta be the 322 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,319 ones who killed him. It means something else. It means that other people 323 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,480 could have got on the train at Hainesville too. You mean someone else is 324 00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:02,920 involved, someone we don't know about. No, you'd have searched these other 325 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,319 people you mentioned in New York. The starbover at Haynesville was how long, 326 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,640 Lola? On? Ten minutes they switch engines, in which means that someone 327 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:15,400 could have got about the train shot Doyle, taken the diamonds and then got 328 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:21,640 off the train at Haynesville. Who could have done that? Simon, you 329 00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:26,119 madge, that's ridiculous. Who saw me at midnight? Did a very pretty 330 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,160 song and dance and then left? You then took a plane to Haynesville, 331 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,200 met the train and your husband there, killed him, and flew back to 332 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,200 New York. No, oh, it'll be easier to trace the plane, 333 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,200 Madge, anyone thinks of it. I have what makes you think? I'll 334 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,559 let you pass those thoughts? On? Oh, you won't be able to 335 00:28:41,559 --> 00:28:47,319 help yourself. True, you've a gun, but you've already killed two men. 336 00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:52,640 Lola doesn't approve of killing men. Lola, I got it quick. 337 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:59,440 Simon, you better let me have that gun, thank you? You better 338 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:12,640 say that a jury, Madge, because you'll be seeing one. You have 339 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:18,440 been listening to another transcribed adventure of the Saint, the robin Hood of Modern 340 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,319 Crime, and now here is our star, Tom Conway. Ladies and gentlemen. 341 00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:30,519 Democracy demands an active faith, a dynamic struggle against the fanatics who would 342 00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:37,200 destroy our national unity with a poison of prejudice. We must protect ourselves and 343 00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:45,960 our families against prejudice by accepting or rejecting people on their individual wealth, by 344 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:51,440 refusing to listen to or spread room as against a race or religion, by 345 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:59,440 speaking up wherever we are against prejudice and for understanding. Remember, freedom and 346 00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:06,720 prejudice cannot exist side by side. If we choose freedom, we must fight 347 00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:11,039 prejudice. This is Tom Conway inviting you to join us again next week at 348 00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:44,119 the same time for another exciting adventure of the Saint. Good Night. This 349 00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:48,079 script of the Saint was written by Lewis Betty's. In our cast, you 350 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,920 heard Gloria Blondell as Lola, and Joyce McClusky as Madge. Paul Richards and 351 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,240 Peter Leeds played Kerner and Mitch. Shephard Mankin was Doyle and Ken Christie Lieutenant 352 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:03,160 Flynn. Let's based on characters created by Leslie Charteris is a James L. 353 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:08,119 Safe Or production and is directed by Helen Matt Tom Conway as soon to be 354 00:31:08,119 --> 00:31:12,359 seen in the Wonder Brothers production of Gold Diggers in Las Vegas. All you 355 00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:17,039 Saint fans will be glad to know that the Saint comic books are on sale 356 00:31:17,039 --> 00:32:05,240 at all newsstands. Your announcer Don Rickles and enjoyed the very radio. Sure 357 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,279 that's right, she like the very best to radio Morning, Noon and Night 358 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:17,440 is from this station, Morning, Noon, and Night NBC. This is 359 00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:34,440 NBC, the National Broadcasting Company. This is Andrew J. Graham, author 360 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,799 of the web surface series oh Anna Manna's Wife. You're listening to the Great 361 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:51,160 Detectives of Old Time Radio. Welcome Back. I really did like uh Glory 362 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:58,160 Blondelle in this episode. She was very solid. I wish I could say 363 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,119 the same for Tom Conny. While I'm trying to do my best not to 364 00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:07,440 actively compare him to Vincent Price, it feels like his performance was a little 365 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,119 bit mailed in on this one. I also, after confess, when I 366 00:33:12,279 --> 00:33:15,559 heard Don Rickles the name at the end, I had to go and look 367 00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:22,440 it up. I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I 368 00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:29,000 did find out there is actually another Don Rickles. It's definitely not the comedian, 369 00:33:29,119 --> 00:33:35,920 but was a radio announcer who lived from nineteen twenty seven to eighty five 370 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:43,640 and also announced the Great Guilder Sleeve, Knights Beat, and NBC University Theater 371 00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:47,920 on the air, and did a lot of work over television and also doing 372 00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:55,920 a lot of work in the Los Angeles area, including as a news anchor 373 00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:01,039 for KMBC. All right, well, before we get into listener comments and 374 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:07,720 feedback, I do want to mention the various rewards we do have at the 375 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:13,079 Patreon campaign.

You also get your choice of one of 383 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,840 the ebooks that we offer when you join, and then every six months thereafter 384 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:04,199 at the Master Detective level, which is fifteen dollars a month, obviously named 385 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:09,199 in honor of Nick Carter, you not only give everything in the Detective Sergeant 386 00:35:09,519 --> 00:35:16,920 package, but you also get early access to my unrecorded commentaries, and you 387 00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:22,159 also get to listen to all the public domain radio programs that I'm going to 388 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:28,320 be listening to in a given week, including comedies, dramas, and adventure 389 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,960 stories.

In addition, every six months, 394 00:35:54,960 --> 00:36:00,559 you'll receive one colonial radio theater audio drama from our list of approved selections. 395 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:07,199 Every six months, then we have what we call the Radio Operator spot. 396 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:12,639 You get everything that comes with being a Master Detective, but you also 397 00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:19,920 can record a short bumper Andrew Rons was putting those in the episodes to illustrate 398 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,760 that would play just as we're returning after the program. And that is also 399 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:28,320 a way if you want to advertise in some way with just a brief mention 400 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,360 of your website. Full details are at Patreon dot Great Detectives dot net. 401 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:37,039 And then we have the Chief of Detectives level, which in addition to the 402 00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:43,119 benefits of Master Detective, you can get a free se a sign paperback copies 403 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:49,719 of any currently published novels that I've written that you'd like, and then you'd 404 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:55,159 also get free sign copies of any future books again at your request. You 405 00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:00,639 also can record and add for a family friendly business that would air after my 406 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:07,400 commentary that could be about two minutes, and all that subject to host approval. 407 00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:19,000 No ads for financial services permitted. And you also can nominate a public 408 00:37:19,679 --> 00:37:24,639 domain radio program of any genre to be played on the podcast as a special 409 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:31,519 all that subject to host approval and fold. And you also will receive one 410 00:37:31,639 --> 00:37:38,719 BBC audio drama download of a single program. So by that I mean we 411 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:44,679 could send you the audio drama Fellowship of the Ring, but not the entire 412 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,320 season of Yes Minister, because that's a little bit more expensive and you do 413 00:37:49,519 --> 00:37:52,400 also get to play a part if we do reach that three thousand dollars level 414 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,440 in choosing a new series. And at the commissioner level, you get all 415 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:04,239 the benefits of Chief of Detectives, plus you can choose a commissioner special every 416 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:13,559 quarter to be played during the series, and that is the commissioner special is 417 00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:16,639 still subject to host approval, and you get two votes on the new series. 418 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:21,760 And I will be honest that the commissioner level is something I adapted from 419 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,360 another program. So if I don't actually get anyone to take that level and 420 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:30,599 there's only one spot available, I will probably discontinue it. After this listener 421 00:38:30,639 --> 00:38:35,719 support campaign full details Patreon dot Great Detectives dot net. All right, well, 422 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,599 finally we get do get into listener comments and feedback, and a lot 423 00:38:38,679 --> 00:38:44,119 of people sad to see Vincent Price leaving, and so many really enjoyed his 424 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:50,519 performance. Brian writes, really going to miss that wonderful voice. Timothy says, 425 00:38:50,639 --> 00:38:53,400 I'm sorry to see him go. It has been enjoyable listening to him. 426 00:38:54,519 --> 00:38:58,280 Bobby Lee says, if you remember, I did not care for the 427 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,320 show in the beginning. I was a die hard Johnny Doller fan. And 428 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,880 did not like any other shows. I'm glad I gave him a chance. 429 00:39:05,159 --> 00:39:08,679 I hate to see it in and Matt simply says, goodbye, Vincent. 430 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:15,000 Indeed, he had a definite legacy and it really did a great job as 431 00:39:15,079 --> 00:39:17,880 the same. And the only thing to note is there are a lot of 432 00:39:19,039 --> 00:39:23,960 lost episodes of his performances of the sake, and while it's not terribly likely 433 00:39:24,119 --> 00:39:30,119 that many from the Mutual era or the CBS Radio era will show up, 434 00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:35,800 there's still a chance that we may get to hear more lost episodes. If 435 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,199 any of those do come up and I'm available and I can play them, 436 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:43,559 will certainly revisit this series. All right. Well, that will do it 437 00:39:43,679 --> 00:39:45,360 for today.
