times when this happened or just a few minutes ago, and then they get

to have a good idea of what happened. Gang A many of the reports

these gangs, because you're getting a lot of crush downadays. Crucks they're
getting a lot of dog y ask me. Yeah, we'll do them no
good these ways. There's wooden back in the old days. Didn't put up

a how much are you offer? Perform? But I just think he started
to check up it. It's more than one hundred and nineties house. Who
knew the money was coming here? Let's stopt. No one except myself knew
that it was coming. I was the only one who knew that that money
would arrive here at exactly five minutes after twelve What transaction did you make with
the Federal Reserve? I made the requisitions and the money over my private phone
about ten o'clock this morning. Ten o'clock to me, look at at the
twelve five that mob made fast time. He's unbelievable. I can't understand how
the information he can Why even to the percardion retending my own sons with the
money in my car? Oh that's your son, but yeah, but William,
that's my son. Isn't have any ideas that he was going after and
they didn't believe that I was sending him at this little non negotiable security strains
that no assent was made to check the money while it was in his possession.

You all about it? What small They had a gang standing by and readiness
for a break like this. But think you've been robbed? That's evidently not

if that someone else knew about it, that is, unless you had the
money stolen yourself. It is highly found adjecting your son in the bank and

miss Hugh see the badness? Yeah, it was quite a scene at the
end of the office. Miss you hit it? It isn't Yeah, the
brave would I see her? There's no reason for that. I'm insightable right
now? Where is your son? Did you? Made no sense thing?
She won't know anymore than the rest of these people, didn't like everyone was
standing around here like a white image. The place was sick with alarm.
Besides, I'm busy, and you won't mind your bank. Okay, oh

And I got in here. I said, you know, I did

her locked in the room below. Very sweetie runs his mob. At least
that's better. Just the second thing, Doctor Duran Sector Kenny, Professor ten
Bloom Thieves University can come on here immediately. Want to matter is the greatest
importance certain. I hope things to be wrong matters that I'd rather enough to
the telephone very well, then I will be there in fifteen minutes. Thank
you. I'm leaving the bloom Fild University on an investigation. Have Adam take
over the that that is I'm Dactor Kennys and that right in, Inspector Professor
Richards, Miss Jones, let me take your head, Inspector. Pessor Richards
is expecting you. She'll be right in. Oh, Professor Richards is a
woman. Yes, you followed her work now then in the magazine, and
perhaps you don't know that he's considered one of the greatest brain space. Let's
alive. She was recently awarded. Oh there you are, Pessor Richards.
Inspector Kitty, how do you dopect nothing? Mother? I thought it would
be better to wait until you arrive than we could tell the story together.
Very well, let's okay, you meaning Professor Mark mathematician. Yes, she
died the day before yesterday. It wasn't you to Scientific World Inspective. Professor
Mark has been expecting death for the past six months. He had a very
serious form of possy. The greatest hot specials in the world had given him
up for day the beer. Professor Mark will be a sad blow to side.
However, he may be a greater value dead than a lie. And
how did you mean that? Aren't you getting ahead of the story? Perhaps
I have what I had Professor Temple call for to day, Inspector. If
you help us with a very delicate situation, tell me what I shall do
that The situation is precisely this. Professor Mark died at four o'clock the day
before Yesterday afternoon, at five his body was transported to the Williams and Randall
Martuary and in bomb that night. The attendment reported leaving the martuary at midnight.
At seven o'clock the next morning, the body was gone gone. Yes,
it's the first gloss that perhaps it had been removed at the Corners offer,
but later investigation showed that it had mouth. Should anyone want to steal
a body? Yes, this note which I received this morning will answer that
put leave. He prepared to pay our agents the son of twenty five thousand
dollars and the body of Professor Mark will be returned to you within twenty four
hours. I know it sounds rather increduit, and we're prepared to pay the
denoted What would you want them the Professor Marcus body this paper they did six
months ago, will answer that it's rather vag I'll read only depart to your
interview. And so, in consideration for the above mentioned terms and situations,
upon my death, I agree that my attorney shall deliver to Professor Martha Richardson
are Associate Professor Alvin Temple the brain from my dead body, dead brain to
be used in scientific research for the advancement of mankind, Signed Professor Adolph Mark.
There's a document duly signed and see the price. The price for Professor
Mark's brain for fifty thousand dollars to be paid by us to his knees.
You will not only help Professor marcus brain to be a high v yes,
I ask what your untended doing with it. Professor Marx was one of the
most bringed men of the age. His mind was regarded as the most highly
developed of any man in the human race. It is only natural, agreed
that is Professor Temple and myself should be indut in securing the brain for examination.
So the matter of the rain before the proper of forces, and all
we had to do was wait for Professor Mark's death, which is in evidence.
As an added to caution, Professor Temple suggested that we ensure the brain
against damage. Insure it. Yes, you see, Professor Marx traveled a
great deal in spite of his coffeel. We were afraid that he might die
as collision or in some accidental manner which woul damage a delicate brain cell see
recording. Me ensure the brain of the Asthmic company for one hundred thousand dollars.
Oh why is such a large amount, Professor Richardson, so that we
might cover the original fifty thousand we had agreed to pay in fifty thousand for
the damage to our class. Oh do you have any idea who this person
who signed his name tree Brian is not the slightest, do you, Professor
Bemple? No, how many person who deside yourself knew what you were intending
to do. We were successfully keeping the details of the transaction of a newspaper
as it was. One reporter discovered the story, and we had some difficulty
in persuading him not to prep That's an interesting point. Who is the reporter?
He's Bird Adams the column. Unfortunately he knew everything. He was given
a duplicate the agreement if you see in front of you, but it's not
the Professor Mark stud And how did you succeed in depressing the news? Well,
the Professor Temple gave the reporter a gift, a bribe. How much
it cost us five hundred dollars. I got off cheaply at that. If
I know, Bird Adams, I did it not arrive? Did you think?
And you've told no one. I've accepted myself. No, I,
Professor Richards, I'll do what I can. Don't make the news of us
public until I've had If you are to work on the case, what protidued
new contemplate Inspector, No, honestly they attended at the march. Right then
I have to talk with this keyhole artist Bird Adams. Start pilight of this
evening. Okay, you know I take this, take HER's Bird Adam.
It is death. This is not the La scan on the smut. Yeah.
Sure, going over Adams my old frame. In Spector Kenny here and
I have a chance, back out of a pica. Tell me what's new?
Not so fast? I don't you mean he didn't come here with news
and only thirty minutes the headline. Oh, come on, it's like to
be a right guy. Give me some news, you know, keyhole AERI
I don't off the prase. I don't ruin for your kind of news.
Adam or going to talk a few minutes right here, I mean in private.
Oh stop priding here him and the old man said, uh uh,
that's on your mind, Kenny. I've got the news for you, but
it's going to cross you. Sure it's good to nobody ever called Burt Adam's
the chief skate. I pay for my dirt, buy it for the tone.
I know that's the dope. Professor Marx is dead old stuff. I
scooped the ton and I the day before yesterday, last night his body was
stolen from a mort already downtown. What but the love of Mike, this
is hot news. Wait, so I rush off a lead at it.
Man, Not so fast. The news will keep. There's not another paper
in the country. Wasn't on mine of it? So much the better you
don't print the news. Util you hear my price? What is your price?
Kenny? I want to know what you had to do with the removal
of the body. Oh so you've been told with Professor Richards saying you get
it where you're answering nothing. I didn't know nothing about it until you told
me right now. But you were the only one I knew of the deal
Professor Richards and Professor Temper made for the brain. I know what, But
I didn't have anything to do with the disappearance. Why did I keep a
dead body? Why did I do with it? Knowing how badly the professors
wanted it? You'd grab a blackmail for twenty five thousand dollars. Holy,
they wouldn't say it, as they wouldn't. If I don't recover it,
they'll do just that, No, kidden, I forgiven. I tell you
a straight kid, I even known as far as inshorting it for one hundred
thousand bucks. Well, then here's a straight dopen spector. I don't know
anything about it, not a thing. So if you've any other leagues,
don't waste any time on me. The only thing I'm asking you was to
let me run the story. You forget the five hundred bucks. Professor Temper,
they did a kill a story of the deal. Well, I didn't
run it today. I won't say anything about it now. If you'll only
just let me say, inspector, don't you have to keep a body on
ice or something. Are you getting that? Adam? Just say you let
me run that story, and here's what I do for you. I'll take
the whole thing and oh give me inspected. Thank you right here? Yes,
he says, aren't you asking up? Please? You said it was
connected downstairs. Starting to have a nice home here, and sorry I have
it too late to catch at the university. That's quite all right. Do
you too much experimenting here? We're not far enough to quick? I was
undering. So you wanted to see him? Oh, achilleyes with you?
And he newst I went to the marty. I thought a fellow was supposed
to be an all night attendant. He told me a rather odd story.
Indeed, yeah, he said that after the morgue attendant left around midnight,
that he was patrolling one of the corridors when the light went out for a
minute. He had the volley, was wandering around looking for the fuse.
He tought a pin break in his arm, and then a few minutes later
the lights went on. How long were they off? Only a two minutes
later? He got very sleepy and goes off at the pin Breaky too,
was undoubtedly a shot in the arms und drug and the body was stolen during
the time he was asleep. But who could do a thing like that?
Someone with the knowledge of rugs? What's that noise? That was like someone
in the basement. You couldn't one of you move into that door open?
What do you don't move into that door open? Yah? Expect we had
jokes, got right? The old guys down there? Hey, look out
here, great man there, try to run past me with you. Boy,
I'm sorry, Professor Richard, you're under a rat for fraud. Just
what do you mean? Don't you act so innocent? My friend, Inspector
Kenny got you to call kept an out of the base Knight, tlip down
and I find a nice beat restrictorator down there with a body of Professor Marks
in it. You can't do a thing. Come, oh, that's where
you're a mistaken. You thought you could fool everybody with that note. He
thought you could make us believe that somebody was holding Professor Mark's body baranton And
it was a little bit too far fetched, right you are, Inspector says.
I got to looking around. I found out that you couldn't possibly have
paid fifty thousand dollars with the brain is called for in your agreement. You
don't have the money. What's more, the university is up there with the
neck and dead, and the bank is threatening to far clos You thought you
could beat the drans governing out of one hundred thousand dollars a body and you
know it. Welcome back. Um. Yeah, you definitely see some of
the less pleasant parts of previous times in the first episode, uh with the
police, with the police officers comment to the woman witnesses account of being kissed
by the robber. Um. Also, the other thing with this episode is
the voice of the policeman. It's something I used to get a lot of
comments on the Dragnet show um where actors would sound really old playing older people,
and there was cases forward on Dragnet where they were playing you know,
retirees and things like that. In this case, though, it seems a
bit odd since this person is a policeman assumingly even though they're nearing retirement and
a bit older. Sounded a little feeble to be believable. On that.
I like the second one, the stolen Brain. That was an interesting case
with a good premise and a nice solution. Again you have one of those
stories where the vital solving clue comes from somebody other than the police. But
it definitely made sense, and uh, it was a bold certainly a bold
plan because they they called the police in on themselves in effect, but that
was necessary to make it look genuine and above suspicion, and so overall this
was that was a pretty good episode. Next week we'll be our final episodes
of Police Headquarters and then coming in two weeks we'll be getting in to Dragnet.
So lots of excitement ahead now quickly. Some listener comments and feedback from
our listeners in Canada and app review from Gary says, I love this app,
