You have seen her who my daughter? I ran 44 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:54,079 into a light breeze on the stairs. A Field said she was your daughter, 45 00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:00,879 mister Templer. Cora is an exciting, spirited girl. She's had everything 46 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,959 that's fine in life now. Her only reading matter is the racing form. 47 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:11,639 Her only art self beautification. Her only uses the rocket comes of a nightclub. 48 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,600 Look, I found this gun in her room. She thinks it's cute 49 00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:25,920 to carry a gun. But that isn't all. The real problem goes deeper. 50 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,160 A man. How did you know it? Usually is? His name 51 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,040 is Frank Dunn. Yes, he runs the Paradise Club. You know him, 52 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:40,360 yes, then you know that he's a ruthless man. Cora is in 53 00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:44,920 love with him, or thinks she is. He's no good for her. 54 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,519 I want you to take her away from him. I know Cora, I 55 00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:53,000 know our view. I know you're the kind of man who can do it. 56 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,879 And that's all. Yes, No, I think you've left out something, 57 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,680 the real reason for being of thousand dollars. We will start with Cora. 58 00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:05,680 You made her what she is, missus Allison, and you like it. 59 00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:11,279 You like her flamboyance and her successes.

You 62 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:26,959 are a discerning man. Mister Templer and a frank one. Then we understand 63 00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:31,000 each oman. Yes, good fabrication between a man and his client is usually 64 00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:35,839 unhealthy, especially when there's someone in the middle with a loaded gun. Now, 65 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,399 just how is done using Cora? I don't know, and I will 66 00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:46,480 find out. They're at the trap.

I felt the hood on the limousine not two 170 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,919 minutes ago. It's too warm, and I'd also like to find something else 171 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:24,960 but swarm. That's a gun fired, probably by the dainty hand of a 172 00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:28,960 girl who has everything except the rights upward. Now believe me feels it. 173 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,759 It'd be a lot less trouble if you let me in to talk the Corra 174 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:37,080 than if I find a telephone and talk to the police. Well, Corra's 175 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:54,480 in her bedroom. Please come in, mister templer, Cora. If you're 176 00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:58,600 going to keep on crying, we're not gonna get any world. I'd tell 177 00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:02,639 you I didn't kill Yes, I heard you, and you don't believe it. 178 00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:06,200 I'd like to, but you've got a lot of things to explain. 179 00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:10,799 One is the automated. You used to carry it once a pistol, for 180 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,519 it's not for shooting. Oh, I never shot a pistol in my life. 181 00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:17,799 Oh, I see you used it as a paperweight. No, I 182 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,200 carried it because well, because it looks good, huh, like a mink 183 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,879 gate. Oh, I tell you I didn't do her. Would anyone know 184 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,600 if you ever told to? You know to some people also looks good to 185 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:34,159 tell. A lot of tever lives you who also said you went to Patricia's 186 00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:37,480 apartment, i't. I came home hard after the races. We had dinner 187 00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:41,799 here. Yes, I came right home. All of which reminds me of 188 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,600 to Nokio, whose nose got longer every time you lied I was home all 189 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:49,000 afternoon. He saw me. We've already been through it. His nose is 190 00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:53,159 getting longer too, Quara, listen to me. A cam driver saw you 191 00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:57,960 running up the alley away from Patricia's place after the shots were five somebody. 192 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,399 It doesn't matter who you're making it up. Strangely enough, I'm not like 193 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:07,119 you, Cora. I don't think it looks good to make things up, 194 00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:11,440 especially when murders concerned the campus. All you and the magazine and Field, 195 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,799 And I'll tell you one thing more, the police will be able to prove 196 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,680 you were there. Oh you're lush as I know. I know you told 197 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:26,319 me all right, Oh I was there, my children, I couldn't know. 198 00:17:26,519 --> 00:17:33,599 Its na believe No, don't believe her. It's the templar. She's 199 00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:41,079 lying. Oh bother, she didn't kill Patricia. Donne I know because I 200 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:57,960 did. I just owned the police and confessed. Shall I have a partner 201 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,400 set us up against say? No? Not for man. You go ahead, 202 00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:04,160 Eddie. I I know you've got to get fortyfied to face the New 203 00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:07,599 York traffic. No, no, I'll skip it. Hey, what are 204 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:14,240 we doing here? Waiting? What Frank you done? This is his place? 205 00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:17,319 If and when he shows up, I want to see if he's in 206 00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:19,200 the morning. You mean, after all it's happened, you're still in a 207 00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:23,680 case. No, No, not exactly. What good the client if she's 208 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,960 on the way to the diap house, the meaning missus Alison meaning the same. 209 00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:30,279 Then you really think she does, she says, So, then why 210 00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:34,200 don't you go home and go to slate. Let's just say I'm rifless, 211 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,359 Eddie. I've been latching That man at the end of the bar, the 212 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,319 one in the brown pins drive to work is Ronson. At least that's what 213 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,680 the bark he called him. So so he's the one who's in with Frank 214 00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:53,960 Done on the horse lay scheme. He gave the bartender a package. The 215 00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:59,480 bartender knocked the package in the safe, then gave Bronson an envelope. Ronson 216 00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:03,359 opened unploke and put the contents into his wallet. Eddie, what would you 217 00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:08,440 put in your wallet that was green and negotiable cabbage? If I had an 218 00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:15,839 it was cabbage your life, cabbage and lettuce, smooler fish plans or whatever? 219 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,680 Up Misson? You want to use his share a track winnings, Maybe 220 00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:30,640 let's see if I can find out good evening. Mister Bronson. We have 221 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,960 met, not formerly, but we have mutual friend. Frank Done Cora Allison. 222 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,480 They tell me you have a great way to beat the horses. A 223 00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:47,119 short thing and until your court. That is why your young man a superman, 224 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,319 and my X ray eyes penetrate your coat and see the money in your 225 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,640 inside pocket. Your share have done track winning. You're the most absurd young 226 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,880 manners ever met. That money was for a package. I left mister Done 227 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,920 wondering what was in the package. I failed to see how that's any of 228 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,079 your affair. Let's just say it isn't to relieve my curiosity books, young 229 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,799 man, I'm a book dealer. I have a shop on Third Avenue. 230 00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:15,319 You must come and see it. Sometimes. The money mister Dunne gave me 231 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,759 was simply payment for the books. They must be pretty expensive, because there 232 00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:25,359 was a lot of money in the rombelow rare books. Tell me, young 233 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,240 man, where did you ever get that delightful notion that I know how to 234 00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:33,200 beat the horses and I'm involved in something with mister Dunne And what was the 235 00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:37,119 girl's name, Cora Anderson? Oh yeah, it's the charming idea. I'll 236 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,079 tell you what you do, young man. You investigate me, and if 237 00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:45,440 you determine that I am engaged in something criminal pleasing for me, I should 238 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:51,200 be delighted to know how. Goodbye, mister templer, and don't try to 239 00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:53,680 follow me, of course not. It's bad manners, mister Bronson, to 240 00:20:53,720 --> 00:21:17,160 follow anyone who isn't female. I've been waiting for you the hallway for almost 241 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,519 two hours, was wondering if you'd ever get home. I was out getting 242 00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:23,039 my mind off a no good case. Mister Temper. I'd like to talk 243 00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:27,079 to you, may I commune. I don't think you have anything to say 244 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:32,000 to me, Carr. You could have said anything you wanted to before the 245 00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:34,839 police took your mother. That's no reason I can't say it now. Please 246 00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:42,359 all right, but I hope it's worthwhile. I'm very sleepy. Well, 247 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,000 I saw mother in jail a few hours ago. It was an unpleasant sight. 248 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,559 Well it should have been. Jails aren't designed to give kicks. Mother 249 00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:57,160 doesn't belong me, mister Temper. I know it. She didn't kill Patricia 250 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:03,240 Dan. She just said she you protect me. She's convinced I killed Patricia. 251 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,359 Then she feels responsible because of the way she brought me up. I 252 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,119 admit there's wisdom there. So were you going to let her give herself up? 253 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,240 I suppose so it was an awful thing to do it. Well, 254 00:22:17,279 --> 00:22:22,319 I know I can't why I told you I saw a jail. No, 255 00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:26,160 you don't have to worry about that, Cora. The police will soon find 256 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,400 out they haven't got a case against her, and she'll be released. Of 257 00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:36,079 course, they'll look for someone else to take her place. Have you got 258 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,839 a better suggestion? That's just it, mister Tindler. No matter what you 259 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,839 and mother think, I didn't kill Patricia Dunn. And that's the truth. 260 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,359 Thank you, Cora. I don't know whether to believe you or not you 261 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:55,359 You've told so many lines already. You wear. At Patricia's apartment, I 262 00:22:55,519 --> 00:22:59,839 know you were. Yes, I was there. I heard that. Thank 263 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,599 you. Still married to he. I knew he couldn't marry me, and 264 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,839 I knew something was wrong. No, I want to see her. I 265 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,039 was inside her a problem when you left her there, Manager let me and 266 00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:11,920 I told him I was your sister. Then you saw her killed her. 267 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,359 The shots came into the window. I got frightened. I may put on 268 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,480 a lot, but I do get frightened. I ran down the fire straighten 269 00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:26,359 up the alley. That's when the cab driver saw me. Feels took me 270 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,720 home and I told mother what happened, and she didn't believe it. She 271 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,599 thought you were the one who killed Patricia and made up the story about someone 272 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,720 firing through the window. She made few of me, promised to say neither 273 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:41,559 of us left the house. When you came and proved me. She called 274 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:47,079 up the police and tested to save you. Said years old and didn't matter 275 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,640 if she went to jail. Was her way of giving me a new start, 276 00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:56,079 hoping I changed my ways. Everyone. I just told you the truth. 277 00:23:56,799 --> 00:24:03,440 I wonder you know you remind me of the boy who cried wolf h 278 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,240 Tell me about Frank. You's skeeen to beat the horses. How does it 279 00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:11,960 work? I don't know. All I know is he's always has the winning 280 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,720 ticket. She's a cash dozens of em. Doesn't hear a cash any of 281 00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:21,680 them. That's always me why, I don't know why I want to? 282 00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:26,440 I bear it was fun. I know what about Bronson? He's in on 283 00:24:26,519 --> 00:24:33,400 it was he he's an artist, an artist. He said he was a 284 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,319 book dealer. Oh he has a bookshop, all right, He's really an 285 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,960 artist. He does find a tail work. I've seen some him lether grahnk 286 00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:49,240 yes in grieving a counterfeiting may be, of course, that's it. That's 287 00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:53,759 why done always has the winning ticket. Bronson makes up a winm ticket ahead 288 00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:57,960 of time for every horse in the race, no matter which horse whims done 289 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,440 winds, you face the idea. Now tell me one thing more, Corra, 290 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,640 How did you know Patricia was in town? How did you know which 291 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,359 she was staying? I overheard Lucy, thank you talk about it? Thank 292 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:18,279 you? Frank you done? Yes, she was afraid he'd find out she 293 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,480 was in town? Where's thank you staying? You've got a sweet a sudden 294 00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:30,079 six thirteen? All right, oh, Corra, Yeah, for yours and 295 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:41,960 your mother's sake. I hope you're finally are telling the truth. It's open 296 00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:51,680 waiting say oh, thank you over coloton. Where are you going somewhere? 297 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,559 Yeah? I got spers, yes, but not where you think you're going 298 00:25:55,599 --> 00:25:59,200 to change places with missus Allie, that's very funny. I know all about 299 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,920 the counterfeit, Frank you, and I know Kara was used to friend for 300 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,839 you. You, with your reputation, could to keep catching so many win 301 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:11,599 tickets? Somebody would begin to wonder, but Coarra was relatively safe. However, 302 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:17,440 rant isn't an important thing, is it? No? Patricia's murder is 303 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,160 That's right? Says, that's the important thing. I get out of my 304 00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:23,240 way. I got a gun in his overcoat pocket. I want to have 305 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,559 to kill you because I'm saving these bullets for someone else. Oh, I 306 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,720 want to really kill my Patricia. I don't name missus Alison. What do 307 00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:33,519 you mean? A kid with too much money, in no sense and less 308 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,200 feeling? Cora Alison, which she said she didn't do it. She says 309 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,720 a lot of things, but I believe her this time. She's a changed 310 00:26:40,759 --> 00:26:45,200 girl. Ruffle. But why girl? And I don't think she killed Patricia. 311 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:51,079 You got an alibriant frank here. Yeah, real good? I love 312 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,559 that? Is that why she was so scare? She knew I wanted her 313 00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:56,559 out of town till the jaberth Bronson was finished. She knew if I know 314 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,359 she was in town, out of slapped around and sent her home. I 315 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,480 must say, you have a unique way of showing affection. It's my way. 316 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,440 Oh it's very jection, thank you. But I don't think that al 317 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,240 if I would stand up in clot list one. Will Moose and I were 318 00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:12,640 in the bar this hotel when Patricia was killed, and the house steak and 319 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,079 six other people saw us, So I guess you made a mistake. I 320 00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:18,920 get out of my way, saying I got a date with Color. You're 321 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,359 not going to kill Colora. Make your hands make you're not going to kill 322 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,599 us, saying I didn't ask for trouble with you, but you're gonna get 323 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,720 it. There's your phone downe answering, answer yourself, all right, I 324 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:41,279 will hello, Frank motion, I get a bullet in me? What is 325 00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:49,440 it? Nan ronsome brons, hang up the telephone, man, I'll tell 326 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,559 you all about myself first hand. I don't think you have to, Bronson. 327 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,319 I already know. It's been a merry go round and I got a 328 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,119 lot of lead rings. But you're a good woman. Yes, you killed 329 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,559 Patricia because she knew the deal you and Frank you were on.

This is Andrew J. 354 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,839 Graham, author of the web surface series oh Anna Mana's Wife. You're listening 355 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:33,160 to the great Detectives of All Time Radio. Welcome back. Well, a 356 00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:38,640 solid episode for The Saint. I think that the show with Tom Conway really 357 00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:48,279 did find his pace here. Particularly this episode really strong and a characterization I 358 00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:52,680 would like to hear more of. It's a shame that this is the final 359 00:31:52,799 --> 00:31:57,440 episode that is available. It's by no means the final episode Tom Conway did 360 00:31:57,519 --> 00:32:02,799 on The Saint. In fact, there are fourteen more weeks of programs running 361 00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:08,279 to October twenty first of nineteen fifty one. But unfortunately they are among the 362 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:15,000 many lost radio programs, and it's always difficult as to whether any of these 363 00:32:15,079 --> 00:32:21,279 will come, will ever turn up. I give this I'm slightly more optimistic 364 00:32:21,319 --> 00:32:29,680 about these just because NBC was transcribing so many of these series in sending them 365 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:36,319 out at such a distribution, there's a greater odds that the programs survive, 366 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,160 but we'll have to see if any emerge over the years. Certainly, if 367 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:45,720 they do, will return to this series. Hi Averback, who appears in 368 00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:52,599 this episode, is probably best known for being the voice from the Loudspeaker in 369 00:32:52,839 --> 00:33:00,799 mash They had a varied career in radio and in television. With that, 370 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:07,279 we turned to listener comments and feedback and Debbie rides in with a comment regarding 371 00:33:07,359 --> 00:33:14,880 our listener support special, the very last one, Captain Kerry USA. Debbie 372 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,480 said, I enjoyed this episode. Charlton Heston was great. Indeed he was, 373 00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:22,319 and as I said, in my opinion, he really elevated the piece 374 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:28,400 over the original that was seen in motion pictures. All right, while as 375 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,240 I said, that does it for the Saint. Next week on Monday, 376 00:33:32,319 --> 00:33:37,960 we'll be bringing you Michael Shane and next Tuesday our Stone of the Desk Squad. 377 00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:43,880 In the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives dot 378 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,279 net, follow us on Twitter at Radio Detectives, and become one of our 379 00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:52,960 friends on Facebook Facebook dot com slash radio detectives from Boise, Idaho.
