I became her roommate when she joined the Angels about six 168 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,799 months ago, and even loving with her, I never really felt I knew 169 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,559 her, I see, not that I didn't try to know her. I 170 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:11,639 myself am a rather friendly person. Yeah, Harry, shut up. Of 171 00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:16,039 course, Mary was always nice and sweet to everyone, and such a perfect 172 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,440 little lady in all. But yet why well, every now and then, 173 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:26,279 something sort of well I thought, a tough like seemed to show up in 174 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,600 her out Harry, I want you she and she seemed like she was carrying 175 00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:37,440 secrets, mister Temple deep sorrowful one. Of course, I never asked her 176 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,960 to Eluciday, not much. Where was she from? Well, that was 177 00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:45,679 one of the secrets. Every time I asked her, she'd make what she 178 00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:50,639 didn't hear me. But Harry, you should know me. Yeah, I 179 00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:56,159 don't know anything, not anything period I wanted you do before she became one 180 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,480 of Satan. I don't know that either. Didn't she tell you anything of 181 00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:03,159 what she'd be doing before? What orchestras she had been playing with? For 182 00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:05,399 example? No, I never asked, And if I did ask, I 183 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,879 don't remember. And if I asked, if she told me, I don't 184 00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:09,840 remember that either. If she was a hush, you'd remember. If she 185 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,960 was a hut, you didn't even know how many hands hi her grandmother was, 186 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,240 you'd remember everything. Yeah, you remember everything. You see how it 187 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,600 is, Belly. Most guys go true life get nagged by just one of 188 00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:24,399 them. But not Harry Saton. I got to hook up with twenty two. 189 00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:28,679 I'll go on your buck. You know something I think I will be 190 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:35,200 saying if Belly remember her name, Harry, he's such a lovable jack, 191 00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:37,519 I'd be a little more inclined to go along with you on that. If 192 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,080 he were a little listen inclined to hiding things. You think he's holding out 193 00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:46,919 something about Mary? I am sure of it. Tell me did you go 194 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,840 through her belongings? Oh? Why, I wouldn't dream of such a thing 195 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,679 before. She doesn't have very much to go through. I don't take a 196 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,559 look myself later. Did you take anything with her? Not so much as 197 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:03,159 a tooth fresh, not even a trash? Yes, maybo? Come on? 198 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:14,159 What happened? Oh Harry? Who's your Harry? I don't know. 199 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:22,639 I didn't stay, came through the window. Get a doctor, no, 200 00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:29,159 no doctor? Proud about Mary? Yes, if you don't, if you 201 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,080 don't find him? Who? Why? Look? I know, don't killing. 202 00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:37,120 I don't know why. But she's a good kid. Only one mistake, 203 00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:48,200 only one mistake. Oh Harry, Oh Harry, Oh temper, he's 204 00:16:48,240 --> 00:17:07,440 dead. Our room is down the middle of the hall, mister Templer, 205 00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:12,960 this way, thank you. It's a real cheesy hotel. But even sharing 206 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,519 a room, Mary and I could just bairey of wood. Oh here we 207 00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:23,480 are, well, at least the duel works. It's mister Chanceller. Just 208 00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:27,880 look, you haven't been entertaining any tornadoes like the he you well, I 209 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,000 never who could have done such a thing? Who could have torn our room 210 00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:38,359 apart? Like this? Was looking for something? Obviously? What's point number 211 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,559 one? Point number two is did you find it? I don't know what's 212 00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:47,200 Oh that's Mary's first aid kit. You know, bandage is niagine, and 213 00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:51,880 heaven knows what else. It's rather professional looking, wouldn't you saying? Mary 214 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,079 never went traveling anywhere without it? Why anytime any of us girls got a 215 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,200 fingernail too close so it got a little burned from a curly Ye? Was 216 00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:04,559 Mary nake him like Florence Nightingale? I see how are used to poor Harry? 217 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,440 He used to say, having Mary with the orchestra was like having a 218 00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:15,440 doctor in that you weren't listening? Is this Mary? That's me on the 219 00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:19,119 left? Midge took it last month? Oh look at this room? What 220 00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:22,680 on earth could anyone have been looking for in here? I wish I knew 221 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:26,319 Mabel, but I do know this. Whatever it was, he didn't find 222 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,839 it, you can tell. But how the wallpaper? See how I ripped 223 00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:34,160 it off in places, places that make no sense because there's no possible hiding 224 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,599 face behind where the paper was. But the worst it was an act of 225 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,640 frustration. Not finding what he was after in any of the probable places he 226 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,039 looked, he lost his head and started on the improbable one and began to 227 00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:48,519 tear down the wall. Oh, I'd like to get my hands on him, 228 00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:52,880 just for one little minute, so Di. But not because of the 229 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,839 wallpaper what he did to Harry. Come on, let's get out of here. 230 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,799 Yes, this room is just all together too depressing. Wait a minute, 231 00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:07,759 maybel is this Mary's trombone? Are they coming two pieces? Don't they? 232 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,319 The sliding part can be slid right off the blowing part. And what 233 00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:15,079 is it? Did you find something? Mister Temper? Let you know as 234 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,359 soon as I work whatever it is out of there. We are they've rolled 235 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:26,319 they're rolled up. Well, i'll be x ray pictures. Now. Why 236 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,359 would Mary have X ray pictures rolled up in her trombone? She figured? 237 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,160 And rightly it seems that her trombone would be the one place whoever was looking 238 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:41,319 for them wouldn't look. But I don't Why should anyone just as puzzled as 239 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:55,680 you are, mister Templer, you could never be well. Of course I 240 00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:57,759 don't know all the registered nurses in town, mister Templer, but I do 241 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:03,279 have a large agency and a rather good memory. And the name Mary Miller 242 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,720 rings no bells, missus oil hunt. I'm sorry, I'd like to help 243 00:20:06,759 --> 00:20:11,960 you. Perhaps one of the other nurses agency perhaps, or perhaps Mary Miller 244 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,839 was known as something else, or perhaps she wasn't a nurse at all. 245 00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:19,079 Oh you're not sure then that she? M No. I looked into a 246 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,680 box and found a hunch. Ba's a first aid kid. One that seemed 247 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,759 just a trifle to elaborate for a simple citizen to own. Oh, I 248 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:33,599 see you're sure that the snapshot doesn't m no, doesn't look like any of 249 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:41,480 the nurses at this age. M I wonder would you mind wondering out loud? 250 00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,079 Please? Of course her hair was dark. If I could just see 251 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,960 this girl as a brunette, Oh that's easy. Why go to aunt runs 252 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:56,960 when you have templar the picture? Please? And that soft pencil? Well, 253 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,640 I mademoiselle is brunette? Now why it is? It's Mary Webster. 254 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,039 You say that name with an exclamation point after it, several exclamation points go 255 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,960 on. She was doctor Burton's nurse, and so you don't recall doctor Burton, 256 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:17,000 who was quite notorious. What did you do? Flunked his cigarette? 257 00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:22,839 Tast He had some rather interesting patience, mister Templer, the underworld hoodlums and 258 00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:30,559 gangsters, and a remarkable, if rather specialized specialty. That's hight gunshot wounds, 259 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,240 wounds caused by hand grenades, knifings. And he just never bothered to 260 00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:38,200 report any of his patient's battle wounds to the police as required by law. 261 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,880 Huh, that's right. He died in prison shortly after his conviction, and 262 00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:47,720 Mary Miller or Websters the case may be him also sent to prison, but 263 00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:51,440 with a light sentence. And of course her license was revoked. She had 264 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,000 to give up nursing when she got out, and so she became a trombone 265 00:21:55,039 --> 00:22:00,640 player and a collector. Oh what does she collect, mister Temple? X 266 00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:03,960 ray pictures, old and rare ones. It sounds like a doll hobby, 267 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:15,440 I admit, but I think there's money in it. Well, Raymond, 268 00:22:17,279 --> 00:22:21,079 very interesting X ray plate Simon. But what am I supposed to do about 269 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:26,200 them? Just tell me about them, doctor Simon. I'm a physician employed 270 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,559 by the office of the City Medical Examiner. You know, I'm not allowed 271 00:22:29,599 --> 00:22:33,559 to give private consultations. Here. I think this consultation might develop into a 272 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,839 rather public one. It's a riddle you're making. I'm trying to make answers, 273 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:45,039 my friend, not riddles very well. They're pictures of a shin bone, 274 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,839 that's all. That's all. Well, slightly different sort of a shin 275 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:56,599 bone. You see see right here, this darker portion through here. It's 276 00:22:56,599 --> 00:23:00,680 a silver plate. Man evidently was in an accident of im sort or he 277 00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:04,599 was shot. Yes, yes, a bullet would just about break off that 278 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:10,000 amount of bone. He might have been shot. Any horris position had placed 279 00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:12,559 the missing bone of a silver blade. That's all. It's done all the 280 00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:18,799 time. Have you done any autopsies around here lately on a body with a 281 00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:22,680 silver shinbone? Doctor Low? What are you trying to find out? Simon? 282 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,799 What about French? A LaSalle LaSalle? I did that Outisey myself, 283 00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:33,640 not Si Blades. But then it wasn't LaSalle they buried this morning? What 284 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,400 Simon? You crazy? That body they dragged out of the river checked up 285 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:42,039 his Lasale on at least a dozen points, planted points. The body was 286 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,839 dressed up to give that impression before it was dumped into the river. Ah, 287 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,839 Oh, it's simple enough. French's body comes out of the river and 288 00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:55,440 into a grave. And the police closed the files on frenchship. The heat 289 00:23:55,559 --> 00:24:00,119 is off and nasal beats the chair. Aaron Hardy and are that these x 290 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:06,400 ray pictures show a sow shin borne. A killer named Jake Florio who used 291 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,160 to be French's right arm told me not to go looking for a missing girl 292 00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:15,039 named Mary Miller. M Either you have too much imagination or I don't have 293 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,480 enough. Mary worked for the doctor who did the operation on this leg. 294 00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:22,200 She's probably one of the few living persons who knows that LaSalle has a silver 295 00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:26,920 plate to his shin, and she had the x rays to prove it. 296 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:32,359 So so if the man buried today in Frenchness How's bad name didn't have a 297 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,240 silver plate in his leg, then this smell a girl had some pretty important 298 00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:40,640 information. Why didn't she come to gus with it? Because she wanted more 299 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,359 than to be paid off with her with her thank you. She isn't that 300 00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:48,039 good a citizen. You think she tried to shake down herself, and I 301 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,640 think Lasan refused to shake He's probably at this very moment twisting her arm, 302 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,000 trying to make her tell where these pictures are. I can see where he'd 303 00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:00,839 consider them important. They're the only thing in this world that can prove he's 304 00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:15,720 still alive and still a candidate for the electric chair. Yes, very noble 305 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,880 and me mid Hello girls, it's always nice to welcome a couple of angels. 306 00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:25,279 Mister Chandler. We would like to know what, if anything, you 307 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,359 are doing. We insist on knowing. As a matter of fact, I 308 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,359 was reading a book. Reading a book, mister Chandler. It's called in 309 00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:37,960 one head and out the other. Very amusing, full of laughs. You 310 00:25:37,079 --> 00:25:41,920 can laugh at a time like this, with poor Mary's still among the missing 311 00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:45,680 and poor Harry among the murdered. Pushn't you the outlooking That's exactly what I 312 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,920 would be doing if I went at home, waiting, waiting for what. 313 00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:55,200 I expect that at any moment the doorbell will ring and a man named Jake 314 00:25:55,319 --> 00:26:00,200 Florio will be among us. For what may I ask? Just to kill 315 00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:04,400 me, mister Templer at a turn like thank you tell you, mister Templer, 316 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,440 No, don't, lady, I'll do my bet. But why should 317 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,880 anybody want to tell you? For the same reason he killed Harry Saton, 318 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:17,559 I know too much about Mary Miller, and knowing too much about Mary, 319 00:26:17,599 --> 00:26:22,279 he's afraid might leave me to knowing just enough about frenchillaself, I don't understand 320 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,440 you. It's healthier that way, mister Templer. Are you sure that this 321 00:26:26,599 --> 00:26:30,599 for your person is coming? Not positive? But it figures that he should 322 00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:37,400 But shouldn't you do something to protect yourselfers? I have you get in the 323 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,000 other room quick, do as I say? All right? Come on, 324 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:52,000 yes, hem hello, saying why it isn't a telegram at all. It's 325 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,000 jake for you, and I'll bet you come to shoot me at inside, 326 00:26:56,079 --> 00:27:00,519 saying come on, come on. Anything to oblige a man with a thirty 327 00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:03,319 eighth I warned you not to poke around, saying you know what happens to 328 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:11,279 smart guys who can't take a suggestion. Well, Simon, did they do 329 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,119 it as he told me to? The operation is a complete success, doctor, 330 00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:18,079 and now let's bring him back to life for a while so he can 331 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,920 tell us where French alssells hiding.

And in 340 00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:27,759 that envelope you hello, I'm coming in have a nice naplace, huh, 341 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,039 And stop worrying about those old X ray pictures.

You're listening to the great 366 00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:55,119 Detectives of Old Time Radio with Adam Graham and now let's get back into the 367 00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:06,519 show. Welcome back. Well this actually, of all the Tom Conway stories 368 00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:12,559 so far, this has been my favorite because this really felt like this was 369 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,960 written to fit his unique style and his unique take on the character, which 370 00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:22,519 is different from Vincent Prices. But it still played very well here, with 371 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:27,599 a lot of great moments and great lines and a very good and involved mystery. 372 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,720 I did think the lecture about why not to blackmail gangsters was something we 373 00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:37,920 could have used to hear, or at least characters and other detective shows could 374 00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:45,400 use could stand here. The doctor inserted in the case of knocking out the 375 00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:52,720 Gunman was probably more of a case of not introducing an extra character when you 376 00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:58,200 didn't have to. But other than that, a very solid and enjoyable episode 377 00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:04,440 that really shows the strength of Tom Conway as an actor. Over on Facebook, 378 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:10,880 John wrote regarding the first episode with Simon Templar or with Tom Conway as 379 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:17,039 Simon Templar, someone got some Sherlock in my saint. Of course, Tom 380 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:23,920 Conway over radio is probably better known as the Sherlock Holmes that immediately followed Basil 381 00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:29,519 Rathbone, still teamed up with Nigel Bruce. So far, I think he's 382 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:35,240 probably a better Saint than he was Sherlock Holmes. But that may just have 383 00:33:35,359 --> 00:33:44,519 been all the challenges of following Basil Rathbone and still having that rapport with Nigel 384 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,599 Bruce, which can be a bit of a challenge. So that's not to 385 00:33:46,759 --> 00:33:52,880 say he wasn't a solid Holmes. He's a very strong actor. Finally, 386 00:33:52,039 --> 00:34:00,519 we do have a comment from Mirth, who writes in, thanks very much, 387 00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:02,880 Adam.
