This afternoon, for instance, we received a 55 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,479 particularly valuable shipment from China, some exquisite jade pieces. I've 56 00:04:07,479 --> 00:04:09,520 been examining and cataloging them myself. 57 00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: Is this Peace on the Death part of the collection? 58 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 5: Yes?

Perhaps that's because 363 00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:18,440 Petrie Musketel has such a beautiful golden color, bright as sunshine, 364 00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:22,240 but most likely it's because Petrie Muscatel has a flavor. 365 00:17:22,759 --> 00:17:27,400 It comes right from the heart of plump, luscious muscat grape. 366 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,440 Like Petri Port, Petri Muscatel is just perfect at the dinner. 367 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,880 As a matter of fact, why not buy a bottle 368 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,839 of Petri Port and a bottle of Petrie Muscatel. Don't 369 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:44,559 buy one, buy two, but remember always by Petrick. 370 00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 5: Gregory. 371 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 4: How did it feel to be a walking court? Surprisingly pleasant, Harry. 372 00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:53,680 In fact, I'd say that the professional zombie probably. 373 00:17:53,279 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 3: Has quite a gay life. 374 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 4: Did you find out who fired those three shots? 375 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:57,839 Speaker 6: That? Oh? 376 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, but that comes a little later in the story. 377 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,079 At the time, my only suspect was Hillary Pisson. After all, 378 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,839 he threatened my life a short while before. 379 00:18:05,079 --> 00:18:05,319 Speaker 5: True. 380 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:10,039 Speaker 4: But and this is almost terresy, Gregg, you know who 381 00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:10,680 I suspect? 382 00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 3: Oooh, the girl Jerry? 383 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 4: And may I say how much I like that name? 384 00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 3: You may? 385 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,599 Speaker 4: In fact, I'd like to go a little further and Harry, okay, 386 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,640 but it seemed to me that if this girl was 387 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,079 mixed up with the jade get. 388 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 5: Harry, don't you see because. 389 00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 4: She was with us when lem Carter was killed, she 390 00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:30,039 was the only person who knew positively that she couldn't 391 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:34,480 hope to frame a later killing on him. I guess so, well, Greg, 392 00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:36,960 what did you do next? As I say, Harry Pearson 393 00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:38,599 was my only suspect, and I had a hunch it 394 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,359 wasn't he. First, it wasn't his style, and second, the 395 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,319 time elements. 396 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 3: Seemed to rule him out. 397 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 4: But fortunately I have some interesting contacts with the underworld, 398 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,480 and I knew where to look for further suspects. While 399 00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:51,000 Sandy Taylor waited in my apartment, I spent a profitable 400 00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:53,000 half hour with some crape hair and a bottle of 401 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,680 spirit Comes, giving myself what I thought would be quite 402 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,240 a convincing beard. Yeah, it's an official corpse. I guess 403 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,039 you had to disguise it south. And then Sandy and 404 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,200 I drove over to a little hideaway on Market Street, 405 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,640 a bar known as the Scarlet Dolphins. It has the 406 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,160 most persistent juke box. 407 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 3: Oh cool, old Sandy, he's so patient with me. Then 408 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,359 I just call Mary. 409 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,039 Speaker 4: Well, Sandy, did you explain your absence satisfactorily? Yes, Mary's 410 00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:27,440 wonderfully understanding, just the same. I can almost see that patient, 411 00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:29,839 knowing smile of hers when I tell her I'm going 412 00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:32,519 to a bar with you strictly on business. Mary is 413 00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:35,680 a very remarkable girl. Incidentally, now that we're here, just 414 00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:38,319 what are we doing? In the Scarlet Salphin waiting to 415 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,599 talk to Ole O'Leary, oleo'laring. 416 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 3: An expert on yodling, no doubt. Can he help it? 417 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 4: If he had an Irish father and the Swedish mother. 418 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,599 Speaker 3: What's his specialist? 419 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,799 Speaker 4: He's the windshil of the underworld. Oh, Stanley, this grape 420 00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:52,079 hair is driving me crazy.

Maybe everything well. 543 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,079 Speaker 6: Before you tell me about it, come over here on 544 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,240 the sofa. I want to show you my pet you 545 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,599 moon light on the day. We don't need a life, 546 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,880 do it. Oh it's beautiful, Gregory. 547 00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 5: So are you? 548 00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:33,559 Speaker 3: Sherry? Thank you sir, you're very beautiful, and you wore 549 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,880 gloves this evening, didn't you. 550 00:25:35,079 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 6: I don't talk so much. 551 00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 4: Yes, maybe I could learn to like theer. 552 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,039 Speaker 8: There's only one to end that, darling. 553 00:25:57,279 --> 00:25:59,519 Speaker 3: That wasn't a very gentlemanly action, Gregory. 554 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 4: I know, but my old father used to say, never 555 00:26:02,319 --> 00:26:04,599 strike a woman until she pulls a knife on your 556 00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:07,960 Shouldn't that be unless my old father always said until? 557 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,079 Maybe that's why I'm still a bachelor. 558 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 3: Did you have much of a job getting her over 559 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:12,400 to the station? 560 00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:14,799 Speaker 4: No, she was out cold until Silver's got there, and 561 00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:17,240 then she screamed bloody murder and fought like a wildcat. 562 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,759 Speaker 3: Quite a female. Did she steal anything? Splendid? 563 00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:22,599 Speaker 4: Ry Pearson was at the back of it. Philba is 564 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,440 picking him up tonight and in the morning. I prefer 565 00:26:24,599 --> 00:26:27,039 charges and with Sherry on the spot, I don't think 566 00:26:27,079 --> 00:26:28,960 it's going to be hard to track down our Jade. 567 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,519 She was a smart girl and realized you'd guessed her 568 00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:33,640 secret the moment you'd talk to Silvery now. She must 569 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,839 have heard him talking about the fingerprints. But it was 570 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,599 smart figuring on her past and on yours too, Gregory. 571 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,839 You see the fingerprints proved the note was genuinely from Carper. 572 00:26:42,319 --> 00:26:44,079 Speaker 3: He planned to leave it by your body after he 573 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,480 shot you. 574 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 4: I stole it instead of which he was shot first. 575 00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:49,839 Therefore the note was stolen from his body. Only Sherry 576 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,319 could have done that while she was performing her nurse's 577 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,559 aid act of the corpse. The fact that she was 578 00:26:54,599 --> 00:26:57,839 wearing gloves kept her fingerprints off the note. She was 579 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,759 a SmartLess dance, smart because she appeared to be the 580 00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:03,599 one person who couldn't have framed the dead cart. She 581 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,839 thought the frame up attempts would clear her completely. The doubles, 582 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,079 which a rule, very neat, and I nearly fell for it. 583 00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:11,960 It was quick thinking on your part to piece it 584 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,920 all together as soon as you had the phone message. 585 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,400 I almost wish I hadn't pieced it together quite so fast. Sandy, 586 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,920 Why Gregory? Oh, the man asks why. Sherry was a 587 00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:26,119 very beautiful girl, Sandy, And the moonlight was quite potent. 588 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 3: Sometimes. 589 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 4: I must tell you what my old father used to 590 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:43,559 say about that. Well, greg is usual. That story was 591 00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:47,119 a knockout. You're the most popular corpse I met an 592 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,880 eighty Yes, Harry means that everybody's just dying to kill me. Ooh, 593 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,000 and that girl Sherry. You know, Harry, there's one woman 594 00:27:55,039 --> 00:27:58,039 who almost got me for life, and I didn't tell me, Harry, 595 00:27:58,039 --> 00:28:01,200 if she succeeded, would you miss me? How can you 596 00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:03,480 talk like that? Would you really miss our little Monday? 597 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 3: You mean get together? 598 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:04,559 Speaker 5: Why? 599 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 3: Sure? 600 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 4: If you have a little silly talking about Petri wine 601 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,599 and myself, I should have known one track mind battell, 602 00:28:12,079 --> 00:28:15,160 But I guess you're right. Good detectives are diame a dozen. 603 00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:18,519 But good wine ah. And when you say good wine, 604 00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:22,160 naturally you mean Petrie wine. Why. The Petrie family has 605 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,000 been making wine for generations. The art of turning luscious 606 00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:30,960 sun ripened grapes into delicious, fragrant wine is their heritage, 607 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,880 a heritage handed on down within the Petrie family, from 608 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,119 father to son, from father to son. No wonder Petrie 609 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,640 wine is so good. No wonder the Petrie business is 610 00:28:42,759 --> 00:28:46,680 grown and grown till. But today the Petrie family are 611 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,680 America's largest independent wine makers. Yes, the making of Petrie 612 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,640 wine is a family affair, and the Petrie family has 613 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,599 every intention of keeping it that way, because by so 614 00:28:56,799 --> 00:28:59,400 doing they can be sure that every bottle of wine 615 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,319 that bears them named Petrie is and always will be 616 00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:07,440 good wine. Well, Gregory, what page of your notebook are 617 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,680 you turning to next week? Next week, Harry, I'm going 618 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,559 to tell you an odd story that took place in 619 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,000 an extremely dense fog in the Berkeley Hills. It's concerns 620 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000 the disappearing wife, a haunted house, and a hot Plaaronet player. 621 00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:39,799 And see your next Monday, Harry. The Case Book of 622 00:29:39,799 --> 00:29:42,880 Gregory Hood is written by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher. 623 00:29:43,519 --> 00:29:48,039 Original music is composed and played by Dean Fossler. Dale 624 00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:51,240 Gordon plays the part of Gregory Hood and Sanderson Taylor 625 00:29:51,319 --> 00:30:04,759 is played by r. Gilmore. The Petry Wine Company of 626 00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:08,480 San Francisco, California invite you to tune in again next week, 627 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,839 same time, same station. The case Book of Gregoryhood comes 628 00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:19,240 to you from my Hollywood studio. This is Harry Bartel 629 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,000 saying good night for the Petrie family. 630 00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 5: Welcome back. 631 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:25,079 Speaker 4: Well. 632 00:30:25,119 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 2: I liked him working at Harry Bartel into the story 633 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:36,559 and with the suggestion that he dated her because her 634 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,680 name was Sherry, and and Harry Bartell mentioned Sherry quite 635 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,799 a bit I get from what I gather. The next week, 636 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,880 his date will be with a girl named Muscatel. The 637 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,480 one thing, of course, that doesn't quite work about this 638 00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:56,880 is that the meeting between Gregory Hood and Harry Bartell 639 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,960 was a lot more recent than he year before, But 640 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,319 we go ahead and we'll let that pass. For the 641 00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:07,200 most part, this was just a pretty entertaining case and 642 00:31:08,119 --> 00:31:11,240 nice bit of a twist ending. All right, well, listener 643 00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:14,519 comments and feedback, and we have this from Brian who 644 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,920 writes regarding the casebook of Gregory Hood looking forward to 645 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,519 hearing this really enjoyed mister cameleon skips and all well, 646 00:31:23,559 --> 00:31:26,519 thanks so much, Brian, glad to hear it about mister cameleon. 647 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:34,880 And actually Andrew Rynes several years ago he did a 648 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,720 survey of his audience as to what they wanted him 649 00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:43,000 to do with poor sound quality programs. And Andrew Rynes 650 00:31:43,039 --> 00:31:45,319 of course at OTR Westerns dot com, and they said 651 00:31:45,319 --> 00:31:48,319 to go ahead and play him. And while I've never 652 00:31:49,079 --> 00:31:54,000 conducted a formal survey, that has been my instinct, and 653 00:31:56,359 --> 00:31:59,119 I think that in indication of what most people want 654 00:31:59,119 --> 00:32:07,119 to hear, we're under standing of difficulties that sometimes occur 655 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:12,799 with old time radio programs, which were after all saved 656 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,960 by people who are in many cases great radio fans, 657 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,599 but amateurs or were captured in some way like a 658 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,920 reel to reel recording tape off the radio, that doesn't 659 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:30,640 necessarily produce the best recordings. So if it's intelligible and 660 00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:32,920 we can get the ending and we kind of get 661 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,160 what's going on the case, and it's in a series 662 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,440 we're doing, we'll probably play it. So thanks for your comment, Brian, 663 00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:40,720 I truly appreciate it. 664 00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:42,319 Speaker 1: That'll do it for today. 665 00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 2: Join us tomorrow as we continue on with the open 666 00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:49,319 Town matter, and we'll be back next week to open 667 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,440 up another file from the case book of Gregory Hood. 668 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,920 In the meantime, sender comments to Box thirteen at Great 669 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,440 Detectives dot net and follow us on Twitter.
