It was late in the evening a Nerowolf was studying his 43 00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:17,680 paper on orchids while I was absorbed in playing some phonograph rights archie hie not 44 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:23,480 so loud. I can't possibly think when you paid an infronto thing of such 45 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,480 volume me. Oh that you said was? I said? I can't understand 46 00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:32,920 why you can't get music from a phonograph without vibrating the top of the instrument. 47 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,800 That's right, that's right. I can't understand why the nighbors have called 48 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:46,279 the police. You you're here, the argie Ergie? All right, I'll 49 00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:55,120 answer, you're fired naturally. Hello? Is this Archie? Good one? 50 00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:00,720 I know, mister wolf? What me? Archie? Yeah? I need 51 00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:04,279 help out. Please come at once, please hope, please you near a? 52 00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:08,279 Who is this? This is Gloria? But no, no, don't 53 00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:20,160 Gloria? Who? Hello? Hello? Well did you hear that? Another 54 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,000 female? By what heaped? Boys? Who do you know named Gloria? 55 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,360 Gloria? I ain't know nothing about anyone named Gloria. She said. Her 56 00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:31,519 name was Gloria is something. I couldn't quite get the last name, but 57 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,519 she did say Ronaldo Road. Well, it's quite possible that she decides on 58 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,199 Ronaldo Road. First, she asked if this was actually good? When speaking, 59 00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:42,800 before I had a chance to say anything, she asked me to come 60 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,800 to her at once. She needed help. For you to bring me along. 61 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,680 I mean for me to bring near all along. You don't even know 62 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,000 what you're talking about. Well, she said she was Gloria bar Mar or 63 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,199 something like that, and then she said Ronaldo Road West. And then the 64 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,199 scream, and that's all that was. Use your pattern of your experience with 65 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,959 women. Sounded like a hand was slapped over her mouth or she was grabbed 66 00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:09,600 by the throat. We're nearro with you. I am taking no more assignments 67 00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:13,720 as we Ronaldo Road West, where is it? I don't believe there is 68 00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:18,040 a Ronaldo Road west if I remember correctly, Ronaldo Road runs north and south 69 00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:24,439 and is approximately twelve miles long. But she said west. What she probably 70 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:30,800 tried to say when she was interrupted was Ronaldo Road west Chester. Westchester. 71 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,120 Of course, asked Inspector Kramer to try to check on that phone call. 72 00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:38,040 I'll ask him to try. By the way, do you expect to find 73 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,759 the scorier live, Archie? I certainly hope so. Now you aware that 74 00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:46,000 if someone strangled her, and they must have heard her speak your name, 75 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:53,480 yes, and yours too? Shall I open my boss? Why not let 76 00:06:53,560 --> 00:07:00,319 us face it? Archie? Huh, it's me Archie. Wait till I 77 00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:05,639 slide the night chain off. Doctor thrummy my, No, I forgot all 78 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,519 about you. Doc. It's only been three or four minutes. I have 79 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,000 never had such a disturbing night since I had my first patient. But at 80 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,959 first I was afraid to leave the house. And why were you serving? 81 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,879 Doctor trummy? But there were two men sitting in front of my place in 82 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,079 the car. Oh, good evening. You were they waiting for you? 83 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,160 Darker? Why not? Very likely? Since she called me, I've been 84 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,600 so completely unnerved. Ye have some brands. Oh no, no, no, 85 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,519 no, no, no, you know I never that is I was 86 00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:43,279 small. I am upset. He understand. Oh that's just too cold you 87 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,240 and upset you? So? Oh hello, Nira? Did someone call me? 88 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,759 When you phoned me frantically that a woman called you? I couldn't understand 89 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:53,439 you on the phone. Oh, yes, she has poor Gloria. She 90 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,480 was cut off. Did you say Gloria? But didn't? I thought I 91 00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:03,079 did. Oh what did you say? I said Gloria? Oh my, 92 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,759 isn't that strange? I thought that's what I said? No, no, 93 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:09,319 no more, please, we just had a call from Gloria.

No she 99 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,279 didn't, Oh dear, she was just about to tell me when I said, 100 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,080 I'd call you an archie and get your help, and then she was 101 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,840 cut off.

Here he 171 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,120 is a driver and he's dead. This is dreadful, Ouchie, What do 172 00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:45,639 we do now? We got a lighter, here's my pocket flash, here's 173 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,519 his gun beside him, don't touch it. Well, let's do his pocket. 174 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,559 You knew what he meant when he said he had a record for me 175 00:13:52,679 --> 00:14:01,320 someplace. The picture of a girl, says to Mike from Violent, Mike 176 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:05,559 Fellow's face is certainly familiar, but I can't Hey, wait a minute, 177 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,000 Mike, Mike, Mike Jordan. That's it, Mike Jordan. Yeah, 178 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,279 Wolf cleared him on a frame up three years ago. And this this girl, 179 00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:16,639 Violet, is an entertainer in a nightclub downtown US. But what us 180 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,600 oldest have to do with Gloria Strange? There's no other identification on him. 181 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:24,639 The other guy took it off of him, and now we got to find 182 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,519 Violet. How we can't even find Gloria? I think now that this guy 183 00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:31,600 Mike Jordan missed us deliberately let's start hooking it back to that last crossroad. 184 00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:43,960 There was a telephone there. I'll call NERO. So that's the story so 185 00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:46,480 far. Mister Wolf. Sorry to wake you up, but we wanted you 186 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:50,360 to know, yes we did. Oh such a night. When was your 187 00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:52,799 reason for turning the man? That doctor thrumming? Was your brother? I 188 00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:56,039 didn't want him to know that it was Doc because Gloria had called Doc and 189 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,799 he must have known about it. And the driver return that to be Mike 190 00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:03,639 Jordan. And what did Mike say to you in the car. Well, 191 00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:05,480 he didn't finish, but he said I got a record for you. Good, 192 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,279 wasn't it? And then the man shot him up. And when you 193 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:15,919 located Violet at her place, she was cataloging recording. Lean in here now, 194 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,399 gee, sit down, doctor Tommy, Yeah, I am a bit 195 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:28,519 wary. Come in Violet.

Yeah, that's 206 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,600 what I was doing when mister Goodwin came in. Mike's got a home recorder 207 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,960 over his place. Do you have all the records that have been made on 208 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:22,399 the machine so far?

Yes, she called me 300 00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:26,119 uncle, but I'm not really a relative. I'm doctor Gunther, retained by 301 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,799 the family. As you can see, a girl is quite guiled. Oh, 302 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,119 well, we're all friends at Glorias and we'd like to see it. 303 00:24:32,759 --> 00:24:36,720 But you just all her. We don't refer to this young lady. We 304 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,279 have in mind the elder La Gloria. Now come, doctor Ganther, you 305 00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:48,319 know to whom we refer what you mean, the girl's aunt. Well, 306 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,319 it's very strange if you are a friend of the aunt but you are not 307 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,640 aware of her condition. Her condition, Yes, the aunt has been bed 308 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,119 ridden for nearly a year paralysis, and it seems to be most coincidental with 309 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:07,559 your visit. But she passed away this afternoon, died Gloria this afternoon. 310 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,480 But how could that be. We'd like to see the remains, doctor gant 311 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,839 Yes, we'd like to see the remains. Just where are they? They 312 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,559 are here, mister, and if you and your brother and mister Wolfe will 313 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:26,559 step this way to the small parlor. There you are, gentlemen, I'll 314 00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:33,640 leave you alone. I'll be in the library. Well, gentlemen, here 315 00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:37,759 she is. What do you say do you recognize this woman? Well? 316 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,599 Yeah, it's been many years, but that is Gloria barnes Worth. Good 317 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,119 heavens, yes, it's Gloria, all right, cool woman? I remember 318 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,119 now she married a very wealthy manufacturer named Kenton who died that she's remained a 319 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:55,119 widow. He said she died this afternoon. Are you sure it was an 320 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,720 elderly woman who called you this evening and right away? Just fear her for 321 00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:03,279 it's warm. She couldn't have been dead more than an hour. She isn't 322 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:08,400 dead. Noose signs are pulse. Your cigarette case beeds mm hmm. And 323 00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:15,480 he's like moisture respiration, very perceptible. He's under heavy courses. You can 324 00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:18,559 give them a heavy doorse lately, Let's get out of here. Wait, 325 00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:26,720 you recognize the uncle rather than doctor Gunther know the youth from it. He 326 00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:30,200 looked like the man who took you for a ride. It was too dark, 327 00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:33,279 boss, and it was all bundled up and heavy closed. Let's get 328 00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:37,119 out of here. The doors look after we came in. He's right, 329 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,680 Come on, doc, let's put our shoulders to it. One. So, 330 00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:49,759 gentle, what on earth does this wad you lock the door? Oh? 331 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,039 I'm sorry, it's it's a spring lock. I had no intention of 332 00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:59,079 locking the door. And I suggest Archie that you haven't repaired. And now 333 00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:03,400 Archie, will you stepped to the door and Inspector Kramering. He followed us 334 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:11,079 up the driveway about time getting cold out of here, Inspector Kramer, this 335 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,039 is doctor Gunther. In that room is a woman he claims his dead. 336 00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:21,119 She is actually under the heavy influence of narcotics. Yeah, who is she? 337 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,880 This is Gloria Canton, widow of the wealthy shoe manufacturer. And this 338 00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:27,839 attractive young lady coming down the stairs is supposed to be mentally ill, which 339 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,799 I do not believe. Her name is Gloria too, a niece of the 340 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,119 elder Gloria that Archie and I both knew. Gloria Bardsworth can't say yeah, 341 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,839 yeah, I get it, I get it. And I suggest that this 342 00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:44,480 man is not a doctor at his young Gloria's husband, and they are attempting 343 00:27:44,519 --> 00:27:48,039 to force the aunt Gloria to change her will in their favor. This is 344 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,559 utterly ridiculous. The aunt was able to form doctromic in me tonight, but 345 00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:55,960 she was apparently caught in the act. And this man who is posing as 346 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,440 the uncle hired Mike Jordan to drive his car while he Archie with the intent 347 00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:06,079 of killing him with this This is the same man, the same and if 348 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,960 Mike Jordan hadn't recognized Archie, both of you would be quite dead. This 349 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,880 man double crossed Mike and kill him, believing that the whole thing would be 350 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,160 blamed on Mike. Mike deliberately missed, all right, So what are you 351 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,559 gonna do about it? Mar Let's get out to have fast look out. 352 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:25,640 He's all right, now, get those hands up and keep him up. 353 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,920 Come along, Artie, I have another appointment. The inspector can handle it 354 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:42,480 from here on. Oh, oh, dear me, Oh what happened? 355 00:28:44,119 --> 00:28:45,680 Am I? All right? Yeah? You just finded again when the shooting 356 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:52,640 started. Really quite fortunate that Mike Jordan recorded that conversation. Fortunate indeed, 357 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,559 how did you know this uncle was the same guy who took us for a 358 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,839 ride? First? By his speech, Bettern, he is undoubtedly can, 359 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,440 But you must have missed the most important slipper. What was there when he 360 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,039 escorted us to see the body? He said to you, Archie, if 361 00:29:08,119 --> 00:29:14,359 you and your brother and mister Whorf will stip this way now, how would 362 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,720 he believe that doctor Treming was your brother? No one mentioned it? Of 363 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,720 course the clue I planted and then missed myself. Quite right, Archie, 364 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:26,559 Quite right? What time, is it? Uh? Eight am. I 365 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,279 certainly appreciate you coming out for me on this deal. Oh but I didn't 366 00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:34,240 do it just for you. There is an Orchid Lover's convention this morning at 367 00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:41,079 nine o'clock. What and you mean? Yes, I'm sure you'll enjoy tremendously, 368 00:29:42,759 --> 00:29:48,759 both of you. Oh brother, what's nothing, Doc, nothing at 369 00:29:48,799 --> 00:30:04,920 all? You have been listening to the New Adventures of Nero Wolfe starring Sydney 370 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:26,920 green Street. Good Night's transcribe story by John Edison was based on the characters 371 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,079 created by Reg Staff. This is an Edwin Patterman program produced and directed by 372 00:30:32,279 --> 00:30:37,319 ja Donald Wilson. In the cast where Harry Bartel as Archie Goodwin and Howard 373 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,200 mcneer, Gene Bates, Peter Leeds, Bill Johnstone, Grace Leonard, and 374 00:30:41,359 --> 00:30:45,240 Janeavello. Next week, at this same time, Nero Wolf and Archie will 375 00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:51,960 bring you the Case of the Final Page. Don Stanley speaking three chimes mean 376 00:30:52,039 --> 00:31:07,440 good times on NBC Welcome Back. Well. They trying to work a little 377 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,079 bit of cleverness into getting Neural Wolf out of the house, and this one 378 00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:17,359 it was because he also needed to go somewhere else, so he went out 379 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,799 on the case, which is better than just having him go out for the 380 00:31:19,839 --> 00:31:26,640 sake of the case. The mystery here, I thought the cleverest part was 381 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:32,279 when Wolf figured out what the phone number was, a trick that other detectives 382 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:38,319 have done with touch tone phones because the tones can sound a little different depending 383 00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:41,359 on the phone, but much harder to do. I think, well we 384 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:48,160 do. Now turn to listener feedback on a podcast Alley. Great Detectors of 385 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,440 Old Time Radio is a great podcast. Adam provides interesting background and for also 386 00:31:52,359 --> 00:31:57,599 and then we have another app review by an email.
