11
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:19,159
for this week's episode of Mister Chameleon. The original air edate February second,

12
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:25,439
nineteen forty nine, and the title
is the Duel to the Death Murder Case

13
00:01:27,200 --> 00:02:00,879
Next Mister Chameleon and the Duel to
the Death Murder Case. Tonight we again

14
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,039
present the famous Mister Cameleon of Central
Headquarters in his most famous cases of crime

15
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:14,360
and murder brought to you by the
makers of genuine Bayer Aspirin. Now let

16
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,960
me tell you just who mister Camellion
is. A college man, he tried

17
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,800
from childhood to live up to the
name he bore Chameleon, by taking on

18
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:29,039
the color of whatever situation in which
he found himself, appearing in endless guises,

19
00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:32,759
finally entering the police force, where
he became known as Cameleon, the

20
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:39,360
man of many faces, the underworld's
most dreaded man. The listener invariably knows

21
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,039
who mister Camellion is, no matter
which disguise he assumes, but the criminals

22
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,719
tracking down seldom does. Tonight we
give you mister Camellion in the duel to

23
00:02:50,759 --> 00:03:05,080
the Death Murder Case. At one
o'clock in the morning, the New York

24
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:09,319
side streets grow quiet. Many of
them are completely empty and deserted. And

25
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,039
Mary mulcahey, hurrying home after a
long day of work. Here's only her

26
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:17,520
own footsteps echoing through the night.
But suddenly she stops and lets out a

27
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,719
scream as she stares at the two
bodies sprawling on the sidewalk. Help help

28
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:30,919
police, Help Danny, who,
Thank the Lord, where did you come

29
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,280
from? I was across the street. I was just gonna call out,

30
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,840
Holy smoke, what's this. Oh
it's two men. Danny and I saw

31
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:43,319
him just tonight. They were having
dinner at mister Peter Fowler's. They did,

32
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:47,360
Yes, they must have killed each
other. They each have a gun.

33
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,280
I'm gonna call the police. The
police I got, but I won't

34
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,360
come back. You better stay here
and talk to the cops. It'll look

35
00:03:54,439 --> 00:04:15,240
better. And less than fifteen minutes
later, mister Camellion, the Great Detective,

36
00:04:15,279 --> 00:04:19,279
is bending over the two bodies,
while Detective Sergeant Dave Arnold stands beside

37
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:25,040
him, and a little on one
side, Mary Mulkay is watching them apprehensively

38
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,160
until Cameleon turns to her. You
found these bodies in Jerim, Yes,

39
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,199
sir, I did, and I
called for help, and a nice young

40
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,480
man ran across the street. So
what happened to that nice young man after

41
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:40,639
he called the police? I don't
know, sir, he just didn't come

42
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,120
back. I guess I understand that
you recognize these two dead men. Oh,

43
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,199
yes, sir, that's what's so
terrible. Just a couple of hours

44
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:53,120
ago, they were having dinner at
mister Peter Flower's and now they've killed each

45
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,399
other. Yeah, how do you
like that, mister Comleion. Whatever expect

46
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:59,560
to hear of a duel being fought
on the sidewalks in New Yark. That's

47
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,800
a one Only it wasn't a duel, Dave. It's a double murder with

48
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,519
a very clever bit of stage dressing
behind it. Murder. Did you say

49
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:12,839
murder? Yes? Miss uh?
What is your name? Markuay? Mary

50
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,680
MacKaye? What makes you so sure
it's murder, mister Camellion. Well I'll

51
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,639
show you, Dave. Those bodies
are lying twenty feet apart, but from

52
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:26,079
the appearance of the bullet wounds,
these shots were fired at much closer range,

53
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:30,160
Miss Malkay, He tell me about
these men. No, it's an

54
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,040
amazing coincidence that you should stumble upon
them and happen to know them. Oh,

55
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,240
yes, yes, sir, it
is. You see. I work

56
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,079
for the fowlers, go in by
the day, but sometimes when they have

57
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,439
dinner parties, like to night,
I stay laid and helped the cook wash

58
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:47,519
up the dishes. And were these
two men were there for dinner? They

59
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:51,040
were guests of the fowlers. What
were their names? I didn't hear their

60
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,480
names, sir, here's a card, mister Camellion. They each had cards

61
00:05:55,519 --> 00:06:00,920
like this on them, John's Andale
private Invester Jones and Dale. Well I've

62
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:03,639
heard of them, Dave. They
specialize in blackmail cases. And there's a

63
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:10,199
penciled name on this card with a
telephone number. Name is Missus Arnold Cartwright.

64
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,560
Oh well, now we're traveling in
high society. Missus Arnold Cartwright is

65
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,920
a very prominent and extremely wealthy woman. Miss Mulcayey Amelian calling mister Camellion,

66
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,120
David, you get that Headquarters is
calling me on the radio. Nar Car

67
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,800
Okay, mister miss mulckay, Hey, how long have you worked for the

68
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,279
Fowlers? And where they live?
They live on Parker Avenue. Who They've

69
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:35,160
got a beautiful place. I've worked
for them about eight months. And what

70
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,959
were these two private detectives doing having
dinner with people like mister missus Fowlers?

71
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,240
Camelion and Central Headquarters just got a
tip over the phone that Danny mulkay might

72
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,920
have killed these men. Danny Malkay, the man who went to jail for

73
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:53,879
manslaughter. We malcay, Hey,
that's your name here, sir, it

74
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,199
is you're related Danny. He's my
brother, mister Camellian, But he didn't

75
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,600
kill these men. I'm sure he
didn't do it. Since he got out

76
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,560
of jail five years ago, he's
been going straight. He's been making an

77
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,439
honest living, working as a plumber. Well, I hope you're right,

78
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:12,399
my dear, but I'll have to
hold you for questioning. Dave. You

79
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,399
send out an alarm. I want
Danny Mulkay. He picked up immediately.

80
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:30,879
And what have you to say for
yourself, Danny Mulkay, mister Comeleon,

81
00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:33,839
so help me. I don't know
nothing about it. I didn't kill those

82
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:38,519
two men where you have every reason
to hate them, the private detectives,

83
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:41,279
and it was they who got the
evidence that sent you to jail. I

84
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:44,639
know that, but I'm no killer. That time when I went to prison,

85
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,560
I didn't mean to kill Joe Murphy, but we just got into a

86
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,399
fight over me, mister chameleon.
Joe Murphy insulted me. Danny hit him,

87
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,920
but he hit him so hard Joe's
neck was broken. But he didn't

88
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,959
mean to murder Joe. You're a
loyal system many I'd heard that you were,

89
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,560
and slaved and used every penny to
pay the lawyers who eventually got Danny

90
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,319
pardon. Oh if I've been a
good sister, he's been a good brother

91
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:11,079
and the jury gave him manslaughter.
Don't that prove Danny was no murderer?

92
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,360
Yes, Mary, but he still
could have hated Jones and Dale. Danny,

93
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:18,560
what were you doing at the scene
of the crime, not the scene

94
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,079
of the crime. Who told you
I was there? Mary? No,

95
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,600
it wasn't, mayye. I guess
that you were the man who called the

96
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:30,800
police and then ran away. You
shouldn't have, Danny. I understand why

97
00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:33,159
you did it. I know a
man with your prison record is terribly handicapped.

98
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,320
You can understand that, mister Commedian. Even so, you shouldn't have

99
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:43,960
done it, Danny. We figure
the shooting took place between midnight and twelve

100
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,519
thirty. Where were you at that
time? Why? I was just walking

101
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:54,519
around? No alibi? No alibi. But mister chameleon, you still don't

102
00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:58,000
even know if those two men were
murdered or not. Maybe they did shoot

103
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,759
each other the house. They were
fighting something terrible. I could hear him

104
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:05,960
from the Fowler's kitchen. They were
fighting with each other, or they must

105
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,200
have been, mister cameleon, mister
Fowler shouted a little too, but he

106
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,000
was only trying to keep him quiet. You like the Fowlers, don't you

107
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,360
marry? Oh? Yes, sir, they've been awful good to me.

108
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,120
They won't believe that my brother Danny
did these murders. And he didn't.

109
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,399
He didn't hush Mary. Mister Comeleion, I'm afraid because I got a prison

110
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,480
record, does that mean I don't
get a chance. The law gives everyone.

111
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:35,879
The innocent must be protected, the
guilty must be punished. I sincerely

112
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:39,759
hope that you're innocent. For your
sister's sake. She's had a hard life,

113
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:56,200
Danny, and I'd hate to add
more sorrow to it. And now,

114
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,799
a short while later, we find
mister Cameleon talking to marym Okay employers

115
00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:05,759
mister and Missus Fowler in their fashionable
Park Avenue home. So you knew all

116
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:09,639
about Mary Malkaye, missus Fowler,
you knew her brother Danny been in jail

117
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:13,080
for manslaughter. Now how did you
find out? She told me, mister

118
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,159
Camellion, poor hard working soul.
She's devoted her life to that brother of

119
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:20,840
hers. As for Jones and Dale, well, yes, what about them,

120
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,039
Miss Farler? What were they doing
in your home tonight, Peter.

121
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,039
I think we should tell mister Comelion
Darling. He's a clever man, one

122
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,960
of the greatest detectives of our time. Thank you, miss Fallan. We'll

123
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,879
only do ourselves harm if we try
to conceal anything. Mister Comeleion, these

124
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:41,840
two men, Jones and Dale,
were blackmailing me. What Jones and Dale

125
00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:45,399
were private investigators. I'm sorry,
mister Comellion. All detectives can't be as

126
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,480
honest as you are. Anyway,
each of them separately tried to blackmail me.

127
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:52,600
That's what they quarreled about tonight.
I invited them here to dinner.

128
00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:58,679
I thought that we might talk things
out. I'm sorry they're dead, but

129
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,720
they were evil men. Oh why
were they blackmailing or how did you know

130
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:07,519
them in the first place? Did
it have something to do with missus Arnold

131
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,960
Cartwright. You are clever, aren't
you, mister Comelian. Yes, you're

132
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:16,159
right. Missus Cartwright has a daughter, Flora, Yes, but a beautiful

133
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,559
girl. I've seen a picture in
the Society Economist. Yes. Well,

134
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:26,159
Unfortunately, about a year ago Flora
fell in love with me. She called

135
00:11:26,159 --> 00:11:30,080
here constantly. She insisted on seeing
me when my wife was why she even

136
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,480
came here? And you weren't interested, mister Fowler, Mister Camelion, I'd

137
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,200
be a hypocrite if I denied that
I was flattered by Flora's interest in me.

138
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:41,559
But my wife, bless her heart, was understanding enough and strong enough

139
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,080
to put a stop to it.
Missus Fowler, you have an unusually honest

140
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:48,480
husband. That's one of the reasons
I love him so much. Mister Camlian,

141
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,039
tell me how did the two private
detectives Jones and Dale become aware of

142
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,559
the situation? Missus Cartwright hired them
to follow her daughter at that time?

143
00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:01,559
I see? And why did they
wait till now to Blackmailiu? Because Peter,

144
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,000
my husband, has just been offered
a fine job with a brokerage house.

145
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,600
A scandal would kill his chances,
I see, Missus Fowler. And

146
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:16,600
last thing, where were you tonight? Between midnight and twelve thirteen? I

147
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,320
was feeling ill after dinner, mister
Camellion. I called my doctors. He'll

148
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,919
verify, and he suggested a remedy. Peter went to the drug store on

149
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,639
the corner. Clerk will remember me? Now? May I ask you something,

150
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:33,360
mister Comedion, Yes, certainly in
spite of our sympathy for Mary Malkay,

151
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,080
I'm wondering about her brother Danny.
Does he have an alibi for the

152
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:54,200
time of the murderers. Now the
society leader, Missus Cartwright, is next

153
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,240
on mister CAMELEON's list, and we
find him saying to her, Missus Cartwright,

154
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:01,679
I'm sorry to disturb you this our
I should think you would be,

155
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:05,480
young man. What's your name,
Chamelion? I've heard about you, but

156
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,480
I don't mind telling you that I
have a very low opinion of the police.

157
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:15,720
Oh as for those men Jones and
Dale, I don't condone murder,

158
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,799
but perhaps the world is well rid
of them. Well, I'm glad to

159
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,440
hear that you don't condone murder,
and missus contright. Where is your daughter

160
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,679
Flora? She's in the country at
a house party with her fiancee. She's

161
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,159
to be married next week. Do
you approve of the marriage? Yes,

162
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:37,279
it's something I prayed would happen for
several years, a dreadful flirtation she had

163
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,639
with Peter Fowler. Now my daughter
has at least a chance, said happiness,

164
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,480
and that happiness was threatened by Jones
and Dale. Mister Chamelion. Are

165
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:50,600
you implying that I might have killed
those men? Hm? How quaint?

166
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,039
A matter of fact, I'm not
even sure that the blackmailing notes came from

167
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,440
Jones and Dale. They were anonymous, but Jones and Dale had access to

168
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,639
all the facts. Besides, yes, so you have a low opinion of

169
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:07,559
detectives. Yet, Missus Contright,
where were you between midnight and twelve thirty?

170
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:13,080
Are you asking me for an alibi? I am Missus Contwright. I

171
00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:18,120
was in bed, young man.
My maid will verify that. Besides,

172
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:22,960
I thought that this Danny Mulkay you
spoke of was suspected of having killed those

173
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:26,919
men. He is a suspect.
The evidence against him is very strong.

174
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:28,600
Then why aren't you willing to let
it go? At that? Does this

175
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:41,080
Danny Mulkay? Does he have an
alibi? It is now the following morning,

176
00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:45,919
the scene the office of the Commissioner
of Police at Central Headquarters, where

177
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:48,080
mister Cameleon says, And that,
of course, Commissioner was a question I

178
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,840
hated to answer, because Danny hasn't
an alibi. The evidence is all against

179
00:14:52,919 --> 00:14:54,879
him. Missus Contright says, why
can't I let it go? Then?

180
00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:58,559
Why can't you Chamelion. Well,
I suppose what it boils down to is

181
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,679
that I'm here human too. I
have my likes and dislikes. I trust

182
00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:07,240
certain people and I don't trust others. And you're touched by the struggles financial

183
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:09,879
and emotional of a tired, hard
working woman like Mary Mulkay. Yes,

184
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,799
and that is bad. I know
there can't be any room for sentiment in

185
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,039
my profession. I deal in facts, and the facts all point to Danny

186
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,440
is the murderer chameleon. Do you
think those two private detectives, Jones and

187
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:26,159
Dale, were evil men? Well, that's another thing, of course.

188
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:28,879
I don't want to believe, simply
pride in my profession. The facts say

189
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:33,559
that they were murdered because they were
blackmailers, and I mustn't let sentiment interfere

190
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:37,159
with facts. But the truth is
that I don't quite know where to turn

191
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:43,200
next. Who returned two? Unless? What are you smiling about? Well,

192
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,200
I was just thinking, I believe
I'll talk to Mary Mulkay. Now

193
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:50,480
I have a curious feeling that she
may be able to help me. Sentiment,

194
00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:54,039
no doubts, since I want to
help her. But maybe sometimes it

195
00:15:54,159 --> 00:16:04,279
pays to be true to your emotions. Mister Chameleon, and the duel to

196
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:10,559
the death murder case continues in just
a moment. A very important thing to

197
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,759
know about genuine Bayer aspirin is that
its single active ingredient is so gentle to

198
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:18,799
the system mothers give it even to
small children on their doctor's advice. Always

199
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:22,720
remember this because it means that when
you have an ordinary headache, urtic or

200
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,519
neualgic pain, you can take Bayer
aspirin with complete confidence. For Bayer aspirin

201
00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:32,840
gives you more than fast relief,
it also gives you the dependable relief that's

202
00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:37,919
important to your health. Bayer Aspirin's
speed is proved by the fact that it's

203
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,240
actually ready to go to work in
two seconds, and its dependability is proved

204
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:45,440
by its record of use by millions
of normal people without ill effect, a

205
00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:51,159
record that no other pain reliever can
match. So don't experiment when you're in

206
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,080
pain. Don't risk using drugs that
have not stood the test of time.

207
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,960
Instead, use something that millions know
from experience is fast and can completely dependable

208
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:06,680
too, genuine Bayar aspirin. When
you buy ask for it by its full

209
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:11,359
name Beyar Aspirin, not just for
aspirin alone. Get the one hundred tablet

210
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,480
bottle, and you get Bayar aspirin
tablets for less than a penny apiece.

211
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,720
And now back to mister Cameleon and
the Duel to the death murder case.

212
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:30,359
Everything seems to point to the guilt
of Danny mulcahey in the double murder of

213
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,880
two private investigators, Jones and Dale. But Cameleon is not satisfied, and

214
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,519
we find him now with Mary Mulcahey, Danny's sister, in the cheap little

215
00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:42,559
room where she lives. Sure,
I'm honored by your presence, mister Cameleon.

216
00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:45,039
Can I give you a cup of
tea? No? Thank you,

217
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:48,920
Mary. I came here because I
want you to help me. If you

218
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,440
possibly can, I help you how. But you're the detective. Well,

219
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:56,920
detectives need help sometimes, mister Camellion. I'll tell you this much. If

220
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,960
Danny's convicted of those murders, and
Heaven and Earth to get him free again.

221
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,680
He's my brother and I think he's
innocent. But marry you never mind.

222
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:11,359
What I want you to do now
is to tell me anything that you

223
00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:15,799
can about your life with the Fowlers. But there's nothing to tell except They've

224
00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:18,960
always been very kind to me.
But think hard, Mary, think hard.

225
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:25,039
Now you're a housemaid. There didn't
anything ever happen that stuck in your

226
00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:30,759
mind? Anything unusual? Well,
once missus Arnold Cartwright came to see missus

227
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:36,079
Fowler. Oh I'll never forget that. Why Mary, because she seemed like

228
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:40,000
such a hard driving woman. Oh, she kind of scared me. I

229
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:42,839
felt Missus Cartwright might be able to
do anything for her daughter Flora, even

230
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:48,920
kill someone. Yes, mister Chameleon, even that. But mister Fowler had

231
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,039
already stopped those Although Shenanigan's with miss
Flora. So it was all right.

232
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:59,640
But was it? What? Sir? Nothing? Mary? What employment agency?

233
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,000
Since to the Fawners, the b
agency? Mister comeleion, Why it's

234
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:07,519
just a hunts of mine? And
now did anything else that happened that the

235
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:10,720
Fowler has taken your mind? Any
little thing at all, no matter how

236
00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:15,039
unimportant it might seem. Well,
well this is a silly thing. Well

237
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:19,000
go ahead, Mary. The first
month I was there, mister Fowler was

238
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:22,400
always calling a certain telephone number.
Bad, you know, didn't they have

239
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,240
a dial phone? No, sir, there's a switchboard in that building.

240
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,200
But anyway, he called this number
every day, maybe twice or three times

241
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,079
a day. The minute he got
the party, he lowered his voice.

242
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:37,839
I couldn't help wondering who he was
talking to. Mary. Do you think

243
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,200
you can remember that phone number?
Here's mister chameleon. But it doesn't seem

244
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,119
awfully important. Well, it may
be extremely important, my dear. It

245
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,559
may be the thing I'm looking for
to help me break this case and save

246
00:19:48,640 --> 00:20:00,039
your brother Danny from the electric chair. Oh, come long, Detective Sergeant

247
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,319
Arnold. We are going into the
Commissioner's arfice. I want to tell him

248
00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:07,440
about that phone number I got from
Mary Mulkay. Right, mister Cammerdion,

249
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:11,880
Oh, hello, chameleon, Dave, come in. I've got a lead.

250
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,160
At last, Commissioner Mary Mulkay.
He gave me a phone number that

251
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,440
Peter Fowler was calling constantly. I
checked with the house switchboard where the Fowlers

252
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,200
have that apartment. Yes. I
also checked with the employment agency from which

253
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:30,240
they hired Mary. And it all
adds up to a very interesting total.

254
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:32,720
Well what are you going to do, chameleon? Hey, you call on

255
00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:37,640
the follows disguised as Harry Moss,
another private investigator, an associate of the

256
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,960
two murdered men, Jones and Dale. Oh that's a hot one. A

257
00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:45,799
detective disguised as a detective. Yes, I know, Dave, but it'll

258
00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:49,880
be one of the most difficult disguises
I've attempted being a detective myself. I

259
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,519
have no idea how a detective looks
to the average layman. Early he looks

260
00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:59,720
hard boiled, that's the popular conception, chameleon and easily corrupted, according to

261
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:03,200
his cartwright. Anyway, Harry Morse
is about to make an appointment with mister

262
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,920
and missus Fowler for ten o'clock to
night. I have special instructions for you

263
00:21:08,039 --> 00:21:14,000
day. Yes, I want you
to take this key and find the lock

264
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:18,079
for it. What where'd you pick
that up, mister companion. I found

265
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,319
that key near the scene of the
murders. I had to pass there to

266
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,839
day on the way to Mary Malcay's. It may be just a key that

267
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,000
some one dropped in the gutter.
On the other hand, it may be

268
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:33,079
one more piece of evidence. Who
knows, Commissioner. Perhaps my sentimental journey

269
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:45,640
to see Mary Malcay will rarely bring
results, and so that evening at ten

270
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,880
o'clock sharp, mister Camellion disguised as
Harry Morse, a private detective and an

271
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,960
associate of the murdered men, presents
himself at the door of the Fowler's apartment,

272
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,599
and when Missus Fowler opens the door, mister Camellion speaks as Harry Morse.

273
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,160
Good evening, Missus Foller, glad
to know you. Is this mister

274
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:10,119
Morse the same Missus Fowler. I
telephoned your husband earlier this evening. Yes,

275
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,400
I know he's expecting you. Come
in, won't you? Mister Morris.

276
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,640
Thanks, mister Fowler, is in
the living room. Quite a place

277
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,319
you got here. Jones and Dale
spoke of it. They said it was

278
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,599
remarkable how you could keep up such
a place where mister Fowler didn't seem to

279
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,160
have any source of income. Mister
Moss, I don't know you. I'd

280
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,440
never heard of you before tonight.
I didn't realize that Jones and Dale had

281
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,720
anyone working with them. But I
can't allow you to make insinuations about my

282
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:44,720
husband. I intend to make accusations, Missus Foller. Accusations Peter, Yes,

283
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:48,240
Darling, Oh, is this mister
Morris. How do you do mister

284
00:22:48,319 --> 00:22:51,960
Foller. Yeah, I'm mister Mors
and I might as well be blunt.

285
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,240
I came here tonight to have it
out with you. You see, having

286
00:22:56,279 --> 00:23:00,279
worked as a private detective with Jones
and Dale, they know what they had

287
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:04,000
on you had on me. What
do you mean he's going to blackmail you

288
00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:08,559
too, Peter, just because of
that absurd flirtation with Flora Cartwright. Oh

289
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:15,440
no, Missus Fowler, I'm no
blackmailer, not me, and neither were

290
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:19,039
Jones and Dale. They came here
the night they were mighty to tell you

291
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:23,920
you'd better stop blackmailing Missus Cartrid.
What what on earth are you talking about?

292
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,480
Oh, this is terrible that men
like you and Jones and Dale should

293
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,559
abuse your professions. Yeah. I
know that is your story, that Jones

294
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:38,680
and Dale were corrupt, but it's
a lie. They had evidence that you

295
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:45,240
two charming people were blackmailing Missus Cartrid, and here it is. Do you

296
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:48,400
like to hear it? No,
Darling, Let this man here have his

297
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,319
say. It's fantastic and outrageous,
but we might as well hear him,

298
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:56,759
thanks, mister Fowler. First of
all, Missus Cartwright's young daughter, Flora

299
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:02,680
didn't pursue you. It was you
who pursued her. You phoned her a

300
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,960
couple of times every day. I
have a record of those phone calls.

301
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,160
Also, mister Fowler, it was
you who were arranged for Flora to come

302
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,279
here with your wife, conveniently interrupting
a love sicked to lie. Peter.

303
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,759
Tell him that he's lying. He
knows that, Darling. Go on,

304
00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:25,279
mister mors that was your system.
Mister Fowler. You pull the same stunt

305
00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:30,160
with several other wealthy young ladies in
high society whose testimony I have locked away

306
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:37,160
in my safe name them. Uh
not yet. When you found out that

307
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,839
my partners Jones and Dale had dug
up this evidence, you decided to might

308
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,920
of them if they wouldn't accept the
bribe. You had the whole thing planned

309
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,039
very cleverly. Several months ago,
Missus Fowler, you deliberately asked to be

310
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,759
employment agency to send you a housemaid
who had been in trouble of some kind.

311
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,319
They sent you Mary Mulcahey with her
brother, Danny's prison kid. It

312
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,920
was a perfect setup. You're still
lying. You can't prove any of this,

313
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:11,119
Yes I can, Missus Fowler.
You want to bet, mister Morse,

314
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:15,240
how much do you want? How
about a thousand? Peter? I

315
00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:18,599
know, Darling, it's horrible.
I have to do this. These blackmailing

316
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,880
jackals are disgrace to their profession.
But I have an important job coming up.

317
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,640
I can't possibly jeopardize it. What
do you take, mister Morse.

318
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:33,000
Nothing that's final. That is final, mister Fowler. I can't be bribed

319
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,079
anymore in Jones and Dale, that's
why you followed them and shot him.

320
00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:37,960
Made it look as if they'd killed
each other in a duel. Peter,

321
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,400
this is aw just darling. I
agree, mister Morris. This, this

322
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,200
whole thing is a tissue of lies. You can't have any such evidence because

323
00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:51,200
it's all lies. Mister Fowler.
I'm going to avenge my partner's death.

324
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:56,119
I am going straight to miss the
Chameleon at Central Headquarters. What mister morson

325
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,599
just a moment, I hear someone
of the door. Excuse me, I'll

326
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,680
be right back. I didn't hear
anyone, Missus Fowler. I did,

327
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,039
mister Morse. In the name of
decency and mercy, don't continue with this

328
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,359
awful farce, mister Morris, look
at me. Don't give me that time.

329
00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:21,759
Give ye a huh. Now I
have you when I want you.

330
00:26:21,759 --> 00:26:23,119
You see, Missus Fowler, I
knew better than to look at you.

331
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,000
I was watching your husband in the
mirror over there, Comedian, it is,

332
00:26:27,079 --> 00:26:30,440
mister comedian. You want Harry Morsey, your chamelion, Yes, the

333
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,640
mister chameleon who hated to believe that
Danny mulcahey was guilty of murder and that

334
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:37,559
Jones and Dale work her up.
Peter, why did you do it?

335
00:26:37,599 --> 00:26:41,839
Why did you fighter Kelly because he
lost his nerve? Missus Fowler, I

336
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:48,200
had no evidence against you, no
real evidence except a little key which I

337
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:52,720
found in the gutter near the spot
where Jones and Dale were killed. Key

338
00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:56,440
What key? A key, mister
Fowler, that fitted your garage. Detective

339
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:02,880
Sergeant Dave Arnold discovered that he also
discovered a station wagon in that garage with

340
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,079
an oil skin lined box just large
enough for the body of Harry Moss.

341
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:11,279
That box was to be shipped to
an imaginary address in California. I am

342
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:17,279
so sorry that I couldn't oblige you
by taking that little trip. Instead,

343
00:27:17,319 --> 00:27:32,599
the three of us are going to
take a little trip to Central headquarters.

344
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,880
Well that key was what did it? Danny? That in the attempt on

345
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,960
my life? The Fowlers have confessed, So you are a free man with

346
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,559
a clean bill of health. Oh
Danny, now, Mary, no blubberly,

347
00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:48,559
how can I ever thank you,
mister cameleon? Yes, how can

348
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:52,599
we ever thank you? And you
say, missus Cartwright has a job for

349
00:27:52,759 --> 00:27:56,240
us too. Yes, Mary,
she can use both you and your brother,

350
00:27:56,759 --> 00:28:00,200
and you don't have to thank me. I like you and Danny.

351
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:03,160
I felt that you were on the
level. Now. Once in a while,

352
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,799
we cops listened to our emotions,
and when it turns out that our

353
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,640
hearts were right, believe me,
it is the greatest satisfaction we can have.

354
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:44,599
And with these words, mister Chameleon
concludes tonight's murder case. Whenever you

355
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,680
feel like you're catching coal, remember
the way that thousands us to quickly relieve

356
00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:52,279
painful coal symptoms. That way is
to take two Bayar aspirin tablets with a

357
00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:56,519
full glass of water. Because Bayer
aspirin is ready to go to work almost

358
00:28:56,559 --> 00:29:00,480
instantly, your discomfort is quickly relieved. And to ease the pain of a

359
00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:06,400
sore throat due to a cold,
just do this. Dissolve three Bayer aspirin

360
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,720
tablets in one third of a glass
of water and gargle. Use this way

361
00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:15,839
byar aspirin makes a highly potent medicinal
gargle that quickly suthes soreness and brings welcome

362
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,160
relief to the irritated membranes of your
throat. When you buy, be sure

363
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,039
to ask for genuine Bayer Aspirin by
its full name, never by the name

364
00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:27,279
aspirin alone. Get the one hundred
tablet bottle, and you get Bayer Aspirin

365
00:29:27,359 --> 00:29:37,920
tablets for less than a penny apiece
a Listen next Wednesday night at this same

366
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,799
time for mister Camellion, the man
of many faces in the case of the

367
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,279
Marriage of Death. The part of
mister Camelion is played by Carl Swenson,

368
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:55,279
with dialog by Marie Baumer from the
original story by Frank and Anne Hummert music

369
00:29:55,319 --> 00:30:07,799
directed by Victor Arden. Your announcer
is Howard plaining New Lion's toothpaste does what

370
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:14,359
no other toothpaste can. Thousands of
laboratory tests on scores of individual teeth reveal

371
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,359
that New Lion's toothpaste actually gets teeth
two and a half to five and a

372
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:22,200
half times brighter than any of the
five leading brands, Brighter by far,

373
00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:26,480
in fact, than any toothpaste on
the market. Remember, is not just

374
00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:32,640
another toothpaste, not just another old
toothpaste with an added ingredient. Lion's Toothpaste

375
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,839
is utterly new, radically different.
It cleans without soap, polishes without chalk.

376
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:52,359
Lion's Toothpaste. Listen for mister Chameleon
in the Case of the Marriage of

377
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,279
Death next Wednesday night at this time. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting

378
00:30:56,359 --> 00:31:19,880
System. Welcome back this episode.
There's so much to say about it.

379
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:26,960
Let's start with this. Everyone acted
like there was an air tight case against

380
00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:32,400
Danny, although all they really had
was Danny had no alibi and he may

381
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,920
have had reason to hate the murdered
men, and that one lady asking if

382
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,359
Chameleon could just let it go and
charge Danny because he didn't have an alibi,

383
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:45,240
And then the commissioner said, yeah, why don't you do that,

384
00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:52,200
because that's not how anything works.
You can't charge someone with murder for not

385
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:57,480
having an alibi. You have to
have actual evidence to connect them to the

386
00:31:57,559 --> 00:32:04,480
crime in some way or something that
they were actually in the area at the

387
00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:10,160
time. And mister Kamlian got into
the silly idea of showing sentiment. You

388
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:15,599
know, I like you I could
totally rail roade you on utter nonsense,

389
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:21,880
but because I like you, I'll
actually do my job. Also, we're

390
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:28,039
their private detectives who specialized in blackmail
cases. That seemed kind of weird as

391
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:31,880
a soul specialization that you could run
a business on. I mean, maybe,

392
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:37,880
like if it was one of several
specializations. I guess I've been pretty

393
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:45,039
positive on mister Chameleon's impersonations, But
I think Carl Swinson met his match in

394
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,799
a gruff, hard boiled detective that
he was trying to do. He kept

395
00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:55,119
slipping back into Chameleon, and it
was really noticeable. And we've got the

396
00:32:55,240 --> 00:33:02,759
murder itself, and leave aside for
or a second that the killer didn't full

397
00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:07,640
chameleon at all. It just took
him a few seconds to see through it.

398
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,680
What was he thinking staging the bodies
like that? Was he thinking,

399
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:16,119
No one will suspect a thing unless
they realize it's not the eighteenth century.

400
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:21,799
In addition, well, I know
that employment practices in the nineteen forties were

401
00:33:21,839 --> 00:33:25,480
way different than today. It does
seem like the couple asking the agency for

402
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,880
someone who had family with trouble with
the law would have been odd even back

403
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:37,279
then. And of course the big
winner of this episode is mister Chameleon.

404
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,240
He didn't want Danny to be guilty, and he wasn't. He didn't want

405
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:46,519
these two detectives to be corrupt and
staying the absolutely spotless reputations of detectives,

406
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:52,720
and they didn't. Yay for wishful
thinking. One positive thing is that we

407
00:33:52,759 --> 00:33:58,920
are moving past the whole trope of
the most obviously upright person being the killer.

408
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:05,240
I was suspecting missus Mulkaty on that
basis. Glad to be proven wrong.

409
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,440
All right. Well, now onto
listener comments and feedback, and we've

410
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,800
got an email from Caleb Caleb Wright's
Hi, Adam, hope all is well

411
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,840
with you and your family. F
y. I am a bit behind on

412
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,320
the podcast, so sorry that these
comments are a bit late. First,

413
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,119
I find it hilarious that mister Kameleon
has a very garden variety murder case and

414
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:30,679
calls it his strangest murder. Then
the very next episode we hear involves a

415
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:36,559
parrot as a witness. Surely that
stranger. Second, as to mister Comleon

416
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,760
in general, I don't have the
same bitriol towards it some other listeners do.

417
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,119
It is well, is it well
produced or well written as Johnny Dall

418
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:49,320
or Dragnet, et cetera. Up, Probably not. I think the show

419
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:54,320
never takes itself too seriously and recognizes
its own limitations. The disguises are entertaining

420
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:59,679
and the mysteries are still enjoyable,
even if the entire concept is a bit

421
00:34:59,679 --> 00:35:05,519
red. But then again, is
it any more ridiculous than how dim witted

422
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,400
every other character was in Fileo Vance
besides Vance, or how Pagan magically managed

423
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:15,599
to appear in every locale in the
man called X. Keep up the great

424
00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:17,880
work, Caleb, Well, thanks
so much, Caleb, and I think

425
00:35:19,039 --> 00:35:22,880
that your point is definitely well taken. And despite the issues I have with

426
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:29,559
some episodes, in particular this one, I guess I still don't think that

427
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:37,320
when we switched from Filow Vance on
Thursdays to Mister Chameleon that it represented some

428
00:35:37,519 --> 00:35:43,440
type of major downgreat. I mean, both series have pretty talented leads,

429
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:51,559
intriguing hooks for most of their mysteries, and some ludicrous goings on. The

430
00:35:51,679 --> 00:35:57,119
ludicrous nature of the programs does vary
quite a bit. With Filo Vance,

431
00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:02,639
it's all these dim witted characters,
and in particular characters who have notable verbal

432
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:10,119
texts with Mister Cameleon. It's the
melodramatic, soprootic nature of so many of

433
00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:15,800
the characters and some of the ludicrous
stretches of the solution. I think both

434
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:22,360
are entertaining. If Filo Vance has
any advantage, it's that a lot more

435
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,400
people have listened to Fileo Vans over
the years than have listened to Mister Cameleon,

436
00:36:27,679 --> 00:36:32,599
because up until a few years ago, there were only two episodes of

437
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:38,400
Mister Cameleons circulating around in those in
pretty poor condition, and about eighty episodes

438
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:43,199
of Fileo Vents. Thank you so
much, appreciate your comment, Caleb,

wherever you download it from. We will

446
00:37:16,119 --> 00:37:21,920
be back next Thursday with another episode
of Mister Chameleon. But join us back

447
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:30,400
here tomorrow for the conclusion of the
Shady Lane matter where. Well, whether

448
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,239
I'm right or wrong, one thing
we've got the jar Lewis's that gun.

449
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,800
That's a fact, all right.
Can't make much of a case against nobody

450
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,960
without that gun. You said,
nearly everybody in the township own one of

451
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,559
those old fashioned squirrel rifles, the
type Ellen was killed with. That's right.

452
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:49,800
What about her husband it's been on
one. Nope, not anybody shotgun.

453
00:37:50,199 --> 00:37:52,920
Yes, I saw it when we
were out there this afternoon, hanging

454
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:58,519
over the mantle. But at the
same time I noticed something else. What

455
00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:01,679
do you mean? That shotgun was
resting on a pair of hooks set into

456
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,480
the bricks above the fireplace. But
the hooks hadn't been put there for that

457
00:38:06,519 --> 00:38:09,719
particular gun, and they were too
far apart. What are you getting at,

458
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:15,559
mister Doller. I think those hooks
would fit a squill rifle. Just

459
00:38:15,639 --> 00:38:17,559
fine. I hope you'll be with
us then. In the meantime, do
