who know me would never really consider me

6
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:59.280
much of an athlete, and I
don't have great speed. My style movement

7
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:04.760
in walking has been described as lumbering. However, for the third time in

8
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:11.560
the past five years, I'll be
taking part in an effort to do four

9
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:19.280
half marathons over the course of five
weeks. That's fifty two point four miles.

10
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.840
Now why am I doing that?
It's to help out HIV AIDS orphans

11
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:30.040
in India. In general, these
kids tend to face a really bleak future,

12
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:37.400
but through fifty two four the organization
that I'm raising funds through for this

13
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.120
race, they are provided food,
medicine, education, and hope for the

14
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:49.480
future. It's a great cause and
and well worth all the effort that will

15
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:55.040
go into the training and actual running
of the races. You can support them

16
00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:00.560
and help sponsor me as I go

00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:20.319

the Mystery of the Grecian Daggers. And

26
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:20.159
now for today's mysterious Adventure with Nick
Carter. As we commence today's story,

27
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.360
we find Nick and Patsy strolling through
one of the streets in the West forties,

28
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.919
in the heart of the Theater district. It's mid afternoon. Oh gosh,

29
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.000
Nick can certainly looks different here in
the Theata district the day, don't

30
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.919
they crue enough Patsy, But if
we only knew what's going on behind the

31
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.879
walls or some of these theaters along
here, we might find mystery and excitement

32
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.840
right now, even in broad daylight. No instance. Look over they in

33
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.560
front of the Wisdale Theater. Well, oh yes, that's Rally's essential cord.

34
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.680
It certainly is. There's one of
his men on guard at the front

35
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.120
door of the theater. Connick,
let's see what's doing. That's the theater

36
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:58.360
where Risdale was rehearsing his new super
colossal spectacled play The Sacrifice, if I

37
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.400
remember correctly. Oh that's right,
Nate Leo Fain sang lead. There are

38
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:06.120
three leading women, Mara god Bray, Leader Lineman and Bella Meath. Gosh,

39
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.960
I'll bet there's going to be a
super duper when it opens. Easy,

40
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.639
Patsy, see if I know this
man on guard here? No,

41
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:15.480
I don't. You can get inside
here. You're telling who you are.

42
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.040
Maybe Riley doesn't want us inside and
we better play. Say having out of

43
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.519
here, you wait here a second, Okay, good luck to you.

44
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.639
This will be easy and be saying
hello to Riley in just a minute.

45
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.240
Say fella, let your car off
then, So what your mind if the

46
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.079
kids let air out of the cars. Say, if those kids are playing

47
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:40.000
around, come on, Patty,
let's crool in and see what Riley's doing

48
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:45.920
here right with you? Nick?
Oh, gosh, Nick, isn't this

49
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.560
the swanker still? And you never
saw? Yeah, and evacuations cost Rizvio

50
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.920
plenty. He built the theater,
you know, the houses, super terrific

51
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:59.439
productions. Well, let's see what's
inside. Gosh, I'll had his excitement

52
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.399
in here. Let's find Riley.
Don't see what goes on the one of

53
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:10.759
a senior directing here, Riley,
that's part of a usual Curtis the usual

54
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.519
year Patsy clients those women down,
will you tell me? Because you got

55
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.000
your years, I devotis. I
got him by the simple laws of cause

56
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:23.319
and effect, Riley housing effect.
They don't get it. Very simple.

57
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.720
I called your man if the daughter
leave his post, and then I effected

58
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.040
an ent prince. Somebody ought to
teach you not to stick your noise in

59
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.360
what it is wanting. And now
that it is struck in, well thell

60
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.879
right, but but then you know
this is my teasing. They don't want

61
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:43.040
nor that you're filing the North Midlands. They don't want go ba ah.

62
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.079
I think if they's been a murder, what end? Where is the deceased?

63
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:51.480
Is neoprene? Americans? Sweethearts and
cartunes gift to women and the party

64
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:56.879
who bumped him off field get in
day. I don't know about Leo running

65
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:04.240
around the aree prayer? Well are
them your train acts are badly You had

66
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.639
to kill him to teach him a
lesson. Oh this is awful, mister

67
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.720
Carter. I am rowing mis will
finish me as a producer. Everything I

68
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.079
have in the world is sinking this
play. I lose my theory to it.

69
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.439
Oh it's the end of everything from
me. He come on, put

70
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.600
yourself again a man. Rumor can
be believed. You won't lose as much

71
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:26.040
as all that. And I heard
that you had your stars ensured against that

72
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.959
thing. Oh sure, the big
stars. Yes, frames appears in the

73
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.759
show. Is insured to fix a
thousand knows Myra DeBras. I've already put

74
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.560
a lot more than footwe thousand of
this thing. Cap that you will get

75
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.800
over it. I think we all
losing to play alone. That would have

76
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.959
got to Minimus Brain in the lead. The part was written for him.

77
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.720
You can't go on without him.
I hope it's not as bad as all

78
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.959
that. I tell me what happened, Okay, Leo Frain was stabbed half

79
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.959
an hour ago. There were only
seven people in the city. Three women,

80
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.800
Deli, Claire, Myra, Debra
Little Limen, four men, frame,

81
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.000
my stage manager, the doorman and
myself. And was on the way

82
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:08.240
to my office when he was killed, just the foot of the stairs leading

83
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.199
to my office. It's backstage.
There any idea who would have been interested

84
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.079
in seeing him killed? I think
Fraying has struggled everyone here at some time

85
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.480
or another. This safternoon. Lynn
wouldn't fought with him. Myra putt of

86
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.040
him. Della and he had a
big argument. He'ven had an argument with

87
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.120
the stage manager. How about you? You fight with him too? Who

88
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.639
would have life nothing better? But
I didn't. Acts are hard enough to

89
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.160
handle anyway without fighting with him.
I'm not showing me the victim. Dai

90
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.240
very well, come on this slay
keep bought it here. I would have

91
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.959
gone door. Did anybody needs a
stake till he get back? Sure needs

92
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.639
your body is here? Well,
Allan, I never expected to find you

93
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.199
in Americase without all those so called
experts. You have down a ten corners

94
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.279
you with three bumpops in the bronx
and tour him Brooklyn. He would be

95
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:55.639
busy anyway. I don't need him
here. We are else over at the

96
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.399
foot of the stairs. I hold
it's tricking back to you to see him.

97
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.000
H leo. Brain had certainly taken
his last bomb. Very prettish papers

98
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.279
to card, but not very helpful. Thought. I wasn't supposed to be

99
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.279
helpful. We don't had this cand
around going nothing. Now that you're here,

100
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.000
Oh, here's where it looks for
me. I was in my office

101
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.319
and it sent word to Frame to
meet me there. He was just about

102
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.000
to go up the stairs when he
met somebody and started to talk with him,

103
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.600
probably one of the women. I
should say, why did you say

104
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.639
that? Because I had died,
a Frame would have stopped to talk to

105
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:30.079
a man, but he always had
time for a woman. Also, a

106
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.240
woman could have been holding a dagger
in her hand and he'd never noticed it,

107
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.159
because it was part of all the
women's customs in this act. While

108
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.120
he was talking to her, she
stabbed him, and he fell back into

109
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.679
that chair for he is now.
And she pulled a curtain across the old

110
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.120
kop and went back to her addressing
room. Okay, the dagger that was

111
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.080
used on Afraid. He is part
of the costume. Yes, all the

112
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.720
women wore him in their hair for
the big sacrifice. Same. Oh,

113
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.399
because there were a lot of water
lighting all I identically the same? How

114
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.519
many to be all together? That's
three six, eight nine nine at all?

115
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.600
Razail? He said, you thought
a woman killed Bran. This would

116
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.320
suddenly prove your staymok what did them
two long black hairs caught in the handle

117
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.000
of this dagger and Braine's cat did
it? Why is a woman? Did

118
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.960
woman is black here? Unless little
woman of she's a blonde? Yeah?

119
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:18.679
Yeah, sure, She's like,
hey, give me them? Here is

120
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.559
Nick there? Evidence thinks gives her
retained which to the women and his black

121
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.159
hair and untilius this position and we
got the killer. Let's take up under

122
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.799
the dagger, stay, Brizail.
Where's the dressing room down here in the

123
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.240
kill him? Don't tell a Claire
dagger in her hair when I saw her

124
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.679
on the stage a few minutes ago. She's still in costume. The other

125
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:41.039
daggers ought to be here. This
is women's dressing room. There's her dagger

126
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.919
on the different tables is which leaves
Mader the blade dagger. Nothing coming for

127
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.679
her. The brade dressing rooms over
here, and they're on the table,

128
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.159
Lieutenant, is another pretty silver dagger? Oh well, what do you know?

129
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.279
Just this, Raley? If one
of those three women did it,

130
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.600
she didn't use her own dagger,
But where did the daggers comes room?

131
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.559
Could have been one of the chorus
naggers. Or the killer could have used

132
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.919
your own dagger and then borrowed one
from the cars he placed her. Sure,

133
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.600
let's see if one of the carrent
saggers is missing over here, the

134
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.320
tell him or all they're on the
dressing table. I see five seven eight,

135
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.120
No, seven? Who said this
would be nine? Risdale? I

136
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.440
believe two missing. Yes, we've
got the stage manager Hill. No,

137
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.960
can you call him from here?
No? But the other end of this

138
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.039
corn leaves right out in the orchestra. Five. I'll get him at one.

139
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.960
Hey, wait coming at razdails.
Yes you're saying, if you can

140
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.200
get from here directly to the archestratid. Oh yes, why when you were

141
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.080
telling me the story earlier, you
said that you send your stage manager macin

142
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.440
couch Outs from to get your script
just before frame was killed, didn't you?

143
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.639
Well? Yes, but and mackin
Tisch and you were the two are

144
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.799
expecting frame to come up with in
your office. I believe I mentioned again,

145
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.480
Oh Mac and Tich is rehere.
He could get to this part of

146
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.639
the the EDG where frame was killed
and back out tight again quickly he was

147
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.399
out DNT. Yes, yes,
yes, but so I had a card.

148
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.360
The frame in your frame would be
here in the corners, just about

149
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.720
them, and he know all about
them. That proves anything, Riley.

150
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.240
Let's get on with our investigation.
Well, god, I wish we had

151
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.960
to take nice with a microscope here. That's a kel who belongs to them?

152
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.879
Here? Is fast enough? Quite
true, Riley? If a dagon

153
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.759
the tail frame was taken from the
cars pressing room, those hairs could have

154
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.320
come from any dark head girl in
the corner. Look, we aren't doing

155
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.799
anything, just standing here. Let's
do something. Supposed a man to tell

156
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.480
us anything, well we can ask
him, but he's a little death.

157
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.720
If he already told us he didn't
hear anything unusual, well I'll ask him

158
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:33.159
anyway. Call him, of course, Henry, Henry, come in here,

159
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:39.639
we will Yes, what minute blister
Ridge day, Yes, Henry,

160
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.799
Lieutenant Riley wants to ask you a
few questions, now, Henry asking everybody

161
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.200
else to live? Did you pay
any attention to what went on down here

162
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.320
after everybody else had left? Did
you notice what went on down here?

163
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.600
That ain't my job. You didn't
hear anything? People passing the carking a

164
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.639
cry nurses once or twice. I
heard a door shut, I think,

165
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.360
And just before we found mister Frain, I heard him with his dressing woman

166
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:15.000
slam his door. Anything else?
I thought I heard a door shut,

167
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:20.720
very quiet like right after that,
But I can't be sure. I don't

168
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.679
hear as well as I used to. You'll say you heard a door closed

169
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.840
quietly? Any idea which one it
was? No, sir, I'm even

170
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.360
sure I heard it. Looks she
said somebody snook out into the cart who

171
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.799
has a frain, scouted into the
steers and killed him. Maybe they planted,

172
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.679
but maybe they just thought they was
along and done it. Oh.

173
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.360
I don't like this. We're getting
nowhere fast? Ah? Do I feel

174
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.879
hot in here? Mine? Just
rest? What's the matther? I just

175
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.159
got that hand of your using the
hankerson a dead? Whose is it?

176
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.200
Wh mine? Why? The cause? There's blood on it? Fresh blood?

177
00:12:52.240 --> 00:13:05.440
Stands? Is it possible at Risdale
himself is the killer of Leo Frame

178
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.559
or is this some new and unexpected
twist of the case. We'll see him

179
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:22.639
just a moment, and I'll back
to our story. We left Brisdale trying

180
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.840
to explain to Nick and Lieutenant Riley
how I happened to be fresh blood stains

181
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.840
on his hand trick tips anyways,
playing those blood stains Risdale blood the mad

182
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:37.200
But I can't wait. Yes,
of course, now I remember, this

183
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.440
isn't my handkerchief. As I came
down the steps looking for Frames and Mad,

184
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.480
I found this at the foot of
the stairs. I picked it up

185
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.200
without thinking. Well, just a
moment later when I found frames body,

186
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.799
I must have stuck with my pocket
without thinking what I was doing. May

187
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.919
I said? Oh? Of course? Here? Hm, it was small

188
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.039
for a man hankerchiefs and here are
some initials. It is fancy and I

189
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:07.600
should say they were a baby.
He's miss Bray got black hair with him.

190
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.159
Yes, yes, that handled it. He wrapped it around the handle

191
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.639
of the head gadget to keep the
blood off her hands and to keep her

192
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.240
finger prints off the handle. The
lost handkerchief and then black hairs we found

193
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.799
in the dagger will tender right to
the chair if the hairs are heard,

194
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.519
Riley, And don't forget how easy
to be for anyone to pick up a

195
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.559
lost hankerchief and use it for a
false clue. I'll look here, Niko,

196
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.159
Who will you stop trying to tell
me how to run my own gym?

197
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.919
Just trying to point out to you, Riley, that if those hairs

198
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.279
didn't come from mister Bray's head,
you're right back where you started, hankerchief

199
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.200
and all you're all right, all
right? Then what do we do now?

200
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.360
Well, there's any of my business. But I have an idea that

201
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.519
might work. I'll let's have it. By all means. Suppose whoever left

202
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:50.080
this handkerche just near the body didn't
do it intentionally. Suppose they just don't

203
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.399
do without noticing him. Now nobody
but us noticed them found. But whoever

204
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.240
lost it is bound to think about
it. When the excitement dies down a

205
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:01.320
little, them should get scared and
maybe look for it. Suppose we give

206
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.559
it the chance to find it.
How do you mean you give her a

207
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.639
chance? But I like this,
They put the handkerchief right back where I

208
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.919
found it, only hid him a
little more. Then We'll send the three

209
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.480
women back to their dressing room.
Then we give them a chance to sneak

210
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.840
out. Advance to think, experiment
Riley, even if it doesn't prove a

211
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.279
name curious here try it? But
where can we hight somebody to watch?

212
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.960
There's a vacant men's dressing room just
down the hall here. Suppose I put

213
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.080
Henry here. I'm guarding there.
There's a phone there. He can phone

214
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.679
us as soon as he sees anybody
come out, we'll be in my office.

215
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.879
We'll tie you. Got that,
Henry? Sure, sure, I

216
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:41.440
can do it. Henry. You
can sit right here, leave the door

217
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.759
open a crack, and as soon
as you see one of them leaving your

218
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.480
dressing room, call me at once. Yeah, I got mister Risdale.

219
00:15:46.799 --> 00:16:00.399
I'll watch real good. Now,
let's get those women. Do let me

220
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:07.720
outside nothing? How can apport it
take you to think? If you make

221
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:15.200
so much noise? Now, Patsy, what's the trouble? Nick? Everything

222
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.399
was peasable enough, And suddenly Della
jumped up and came over here and started

223
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.679
yelling at miss Lindman, and she
started yelling back. In a minute,

224
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.519
there was a swell fight going on. He didn't Guy say I watched no

225
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.559
noise here. Well, I minute, I don't want to sound out of

226
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:29.919
any of you. I'll go back
to your jetting rooms and stay there and

227
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.080
be quiet, and don't turn out
of them until I say you can,

228
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.519
mister bray Yes, mister carl Well, things around you this afternoon really as

229
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.120
bad as Risdale say as they were. Yes, mister Carley, it even

230
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:47.120
I lost my cample once claims especially
unpartulate all afternoon to day. But he

231
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:51.039
even crawls with Mashintosh, who generally
never takes the trouble to crawl with anyone.

232
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:56.120
That Macintosh over there. I'd be
a little moon. But I guess

233
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:03.879
all right how to frame take all
the argument that would go on John talking

234
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.000
of cupping the shoe, and Luca
had told on the log all the rest

235
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.359
I was just loving. I'd better
going back to my dressing room before the

236
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.759
lookout. That's not before you go, mister Brayley, borrow your handkerchief at

237
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:19.640
the moment I don't have it.
I must the glassing my dressing my side.

238
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.680
Come on, liking the radio job, isn't see what happens. If

239
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.079
anything, you don't expect this to
produce much from the ray of his own

240
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:40.400
will come on anyway. Even Luke
could be wrong, you know, Oh

241
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.079
it's waiting the cup game, isn't
It's rather be doing something. We had

242
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.920
a microscope, we could save time. Let me have those hairs they found,

243
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.359
would you rally? What do you
want to think for enough just to

244
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:56.720
mess them up with these hairs especialmen, the player's hair and that raised I

245
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.680
have a product magnifying glass here,
but I says, like a massed up

246
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:08.559
sure here, huh m, Yes, the braids hair is finer than Claire's.

247
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:14.960
And if as a faint ripple that
Claire's doesn't have as round. There's

248
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.680
almost no question. But what the
hair is found on the dagon. That's

249
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.160
the braids hairs there as I can
tell. Oh, look, I'm going

250
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.279
crazy sitting here. I can't take
man lives. I could take rabbit.

251
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:27.519
Yeah, she's the one you got
an asking ask, not me, Sorry

252
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:32.119
Rainsdale. I don't care let either. Oh my head is splitting it.

253
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.400
I think my secretary keeps some of
her desk in the next orfice. She

254
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:41.240
doesn't a fire. So, by
the way, the rings for this office

255
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.240
is two short ones. All the
office forms are in the same way,

256
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.279
and I'll be here two short rings. It'll probably be Henry. You better

257
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:53.200
answer fast. I'll be right back. Raisdale seems to have the head,

258
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.640
so judeh, you was moving a
hundred grand, even if it wasn't at

259
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:02.480
your own money. What about them
here? I feel sure the hairs of

260
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:04.839
the braids are right, but I'm
not yet positive that's what they proved.

261
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.799
Oh that's Henry, Yeah, Nintennis
really speaking. I can't be sure what

262
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:22.440
it is, but they're doing a
woman the handkerchiefs Now, that's Henry.

263
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.480
What is it? What happened?
Something happened to Henry. Happened to Henry.

264
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:37.160
Yeah, let's go the store.
I wasn't locked when I left it.

265
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.599
We're opening for Henry could see who
was going down the quarter. But

266
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:44.000
the handkerchief she was on the inside. I don't get it. Lem's got

267
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:51.559
a kid that'll open it. Yes, I have a master key, Henry

268
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.680
another. Wonder him Vegas, Yes, right in the middle of his back.

269
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.039
He's dead, all right. She
must have seen him looking out or

270
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.079
heard him talking to me. She
pushed the door open and stabbed him before

271
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.960
he could turn around. It's gone. The handkerchiefs has gone from where we

272
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.279
left no wars. Tolumn will break
her door down if we have too everything,

273
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.359
Riley, take it easy. What
do you mean take it easy?

274
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.839
You want a live prison or a
dead one. Look here, Christa Berry

275
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.599
is guilty and you break her door
down, she'll know you have the good

276
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.640
donner. Well, he still has
one of those baggers. If I know

277
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.920
her, she'll use it on herself
if she is guilty. So much further

278
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:30.599
furthermore, Henry said he couldn't be
sure who it was. He thought him

279
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:34.640
it couldn't be anybody but that Ray. Even if you'll right, Riley,

280
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:37.359
if you letther think she's gotten away
with it, you can search her dressing

281
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:40.960
room and she's out of it.
Then you can find the handkerchief and the

282
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.240
key she locked this room with.
They'll be hidden somewhere, and then all

283
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:47.200
the rooms are private wars rooms.
She might try to put the key in

284
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.559
the hankers she's done in one of
the dreams. They'll take a plumber to

285
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.759
get at them. If she doesn't. In by gully, we'll get a

286
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.319
promer and care out every pipe in
the place. I'll right this day.

287
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:56.960
He'll get him out it's your idea. Get their women out of the dressing

288
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.400
room so he can search him.
All right, Gordon, I was up

289
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.359
to my office. I'll call him
from there, and then asked him to

290
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:15.559
come. Okay, okay, good
going. How much handy do we have

291
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.359
to wait here? Mister Carter won't
be wrong now. We just wanted to

292
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.200
get all three of you out of
the way while Lieutenant Riley pigs up the

293
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.480
evidence that will send somebody to the
electric chair. You know that human hair

294
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.359
can be identified just the same as
fingerprints can, and just as exactly I

295
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:40.319
didn't. All right, I can
you call him, mister cardis the king

296
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:41.839
in the handkerchief? There was both
in the thing type caught in the first

297
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.640
tract which room to Japan? The
man, Miss Bray, How do you

298
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:51.680
explained this handkerchief and team which was
hounding or this room? Let me see

299
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:57.119
that I clid explit, determis is
not my handkerchiefs, not yours. No,

300
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:03.400
it's it's my MISTI I thought so
clear. It was very a lot,

301
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.799
but none of them hardly anybody would
rougle, but it is BC would

302
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:15.799
both look something like my mom Kansas
that my mom's gone very plane simple,

303
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:19.000
Yeah, whom I would be.
I did you cling him anyway? You

304
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.400
hold on, Riley, why did
you find that key and handkerchief? He

305
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.200
murdered the brays britten room, right, And since mister Bray wouldn't have put

306
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.839
it in there in her own dressing
room, and Delachoir couldn't have And since

307
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.319
mac and Poss wasn't on the scene
at all, and Henry was murdered,

308
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.680
the only other possible person who could
have killed both Braine and Henry. You

309
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:48.559
mean met a movement, no,
Riley, I mean Mark Risdale. Oh

310
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:51.039
god, MC, I don't think
how you figuring out a lot of trance

311
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.160
as you did. There would do
many clues, Patsy, the black hairs

312
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.559
and the dagger were the clue.
The handkerchief with the Bray's initials on it

313
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:02.200
was a clue by both together were
just a little too peck Nobody leaves several

314
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:06.799
incriminating clues around bothered me until I
found that it wasn't Deir Breis handerchief.

315
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:11.279
Then everything fell right into place,
really everything well, riz Bill had a

316
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:12.799
flop on his hands, and he
knew it. He was built. We're

317
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:17.400
going to lose his theater. But
the appearance of Frain and Debrey was insured

318
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:21.079
for fifty thousand dollars each. That
is, wise, Bill got fifty thousand

319
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:23.440
dollars if either Frame or Debrey did
not appear in the show for any reason

320
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:30.559
except voluntary withdraw. So if he
could kill Frame and hang the killing on

321
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.440
Myra Debrey, he could collect a
hundred thousand dollars cash and that would put

322
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.720
him on his foot again. So
send everybody home except for seven who had

323
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.720
to be there. Then he went
to his office, sent for Frame,

324
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:44.319
and then laid in wait for him
at the foot of the stairs, having

325
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.079
arranged that no one else should be
around at the time. And after killing

326
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:49.640
him, he went back to his
office and waited until the body was frowned

327
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:52.839
and he handed the hand to Stair. It was mad, bad breath,

328
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.079
that's it. It was easy enough
for him to plant the hairs on the

329
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.079
bagger, But how didn't he kill
him? We were all there together,

330
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.079
we're in too, and he was
clever enough to make it look so he

331
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.720
planted Henry in the vacant dressing room, and we all started up there.

332
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.400
He probably they had invented some excuse
to stay behind, but Lindon started screaming

333
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.400
just then, and we all rushed
up on the stage. Well, that

334
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.240
gave Rizdale a couple of minutes to
slipped back into the corner stable. Henry

335
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.519
locked the door, placed the key
and handkerchief in the drain, and Debray's

336
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.559
room, and then join us in
the office. When riding onto the phone.

337
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:32.599
Didn't know Patsy, I didn't I
heard Rizdale impersonating Henry. I don't

338
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:34.480
recall he s listen to the next
office to get some ass him. Well,

339
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:38.039
he used the house phone in there
called his own office, impersonated Henry.

340
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:41.960
Remember he used to be an actor
years ago, and then takes the

341
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.680
blow in the fall. It was
almost a beautiful alibi. And if he

342
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.400
hadn't a stake in Billow's hand,
because for Mars, who might has got

343
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.119
asked Patsy and that was a fatal
error. Either of the handkerchief or the

344
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:56.519
hairs of the dagger would have been
excellent proof. But he was so anxious

345
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.279
to be sure that Bray was the
goat that he planted too much. He

346
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:14.839
wrote too many swamps through the web, and one of them rip. Well.

347
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.200
So long for now, so long
everybody, and so long to you

348
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:26.440
Nick and Patsy. Nick Carter's Master
Detective is featured in Street and Smith's magazines.

349
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.960
Ron Clark has starred as Nick,
with Helen Charter as Patsy. Original

350
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:36.039
music is played by Low White,
and the programs are written and directed by

351
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:41.200
Jock McGregor. Nick Carter Master Detective
is presented at this time and over these

352
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.960
same stations each week by the three
Great LINEX Home Bright News. This is

353
00:25:47.160 --> 00:26:10.400
mutual welcome back. Well a good
solid mystery. One thing I noticed on

354
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:15.160
this particular episode, and I think
really stood out, is just how strong

355
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:22.000
the organ music is on this series. And I think it stood out maybe

356
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:27.079
just because so much of the other
portions of the program, in terms of

357
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:33.599
commercials and teasers for other episodes that
were part of Nick Carter This Tom and

358
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:41.559
It's history We're missing. But you
do see just this really strong use of

359
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:48.200
organ music. You know, it's
the very stereotypical use of the organ to

360
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:55.920
kind of key dramatic moments, and
it kind of is interesting to contrast with

361
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.799
Boston Blackie, which we'll hear on
Thursday, where where the use of organ

362
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:07.359
music is often to just go to
the next scene and is often a lot

363
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:14.519
lighter but here it's really really heavy
and used to try and bring about dramatic

364
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:21.279
effect. I also have to point
out one of those unusual coincidences that we

365
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:27.720
have where we have two straight cases
where a dagger is the murder weapon,

366
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:33.440
and you know, nive is one
thing, but a dagger specifically, that's

367
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:41.000
a really unique setup. We'll see
if Rocky Jordan continues that dagger streak tomorrow

368
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:48.119
and join us back here next Tuesday
for another previously uncirculated episode of Nick Carter.
