1
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Unsolved mysteries. Out of deference to people who may still

2
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>be living.

3
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Character names in some of these true unsolved mysteries have

4
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>been changed. A closed room, a door bolted and blocked

5
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>at night, fastened window, and a raging storm, a novelist

6
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 2>setting for a murder and stretched.

7
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 1>On the bed, a man stepped through the heart. Such

8
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the Cambridge unsolved mystery.

9
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 3>That's different, something that something, think of, pep.

10
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>The scene is Cambridge and standing in its own ground

11
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 2>just off the Great North Road. It's the Hermitage, home

12
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>of Henry Monty, affectionately known as the Squire. Darkening skies

13
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 2>and a chill to the air with the distant rumble

14
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>of thunder foretells the coming storm as the Squire, accompanied

15
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 2>by Sheriff Welford, walks up to the front door of

16
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the hermitage.

17
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 4>I think I felt a few drops, then, Sheriff, no

18
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 4>doubt about. We'll have a storm before morning.

19
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.719
<v Speaker 5>Better come in and have a nightcap with me before

20
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 5>you go on home.

21
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't know.

22
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 5>Come along, old man. I always have one. Hannah probably

23
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 5>has it all worn. Yes, indeed, Hannah and I have

24
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 5>the sheriff with me, so we'll have a double order a.

25
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Punch and go and blame me, Hannah.

26
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 4>I was all for getting on my way home, but

27
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 4>the squire here insisted, And you know the squire.

28
00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh indeed, and I.

29
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 4>Do, sir Mary. Mary.

30
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 6>Yes, Lieuleana, bring another bowl of punch to the kitchen.

31
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>The master has company, Yes, lou Hannah, we'll go up

32
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 1>to my room, Sheriff. The fire is burning brighter there,

33
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 1>just as you say, does as you say.

34
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.960
<v Speaker 7>I'm getting old, Sheriff, and these stairs taxed me, But

35
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 7>I like my upstairs room.

36
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 1>I look out over the downs in.

37
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 7>The spring and summer, and in the winter I can

38
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 7>see the village through the bare branches.

39
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 4>Sit down over here by the fire, Thanks wire. Yes,

54
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>down the hallway.

55
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Both she and Mary look up to the landing above

56
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 2>and see the squire close his room door.

00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 4>strikes ten o'clock.

61

<v Speaker 4>Sent open the door and go in the doors boat

74
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 4>and knocked on the inside or the door to that roommate.

75
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>No, bring an eggs, Mary, a big one? Here does

<v Speaker 4>Always share a pair for years.

79
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Was he afraid? Prayed for his life?

80
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:57.759
<v Speaker 6>Nothing I know of sharriff.

81
00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>He's the biggest ex stands there.

82
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 4>I think I can get in now, Yes, yes, I

83
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 4>think I can. Oh, don't look, Hannah, Marry, don't look,

00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 4>run Marry. Telephone the village for the police. Tell him

85
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 4>the squire had been stabbed through the hot Two hours later,

86
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 4>the police arrived from the nursed village. Hannah and Mary

87
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 4>are weeping hysterically. The sheriff has opened widely smashed in door.

88
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 4>The detective, inspector and sergeant the police glanced quickly about

89
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 4>the room as they walk over to the bed. Eh

90
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 4>must have died instantly, Yes, no signs of the struggle.

91
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 4>When did you lassie him alive? We are marrying me.

92
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 6>Both saw him when he knocked himself in his room

93
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 6>last night, two wine glasses.

94
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.959
<v Speaker 4>He had company last night there he did me, h sheriff. Yes,

95
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 4>I let him last night. He invited me up for

96
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:51.600
<v Speaker 4>a glass of wine.

97
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I left a few minutes before ten o'clock and he

98
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 1>was all right.

99
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 4>Then, Holy, he was all right. Oh.

100
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 6>I saw the sheriff to the door. I'll knocked and

101
00:06:59.040 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 6>bolted the front door.

102
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 1>Hannah and me stood and watched the master. If he

103
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 1>bolted his doors, well, I suppose he went to ben

104
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 1>And if you volted the front door, the murderer must

105
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>have gone in through the back door that he couldn't.

106
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 1>The back door was locked at dusk and it never

107
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 1>was opened. Well, it's a certainty that the murder didn't

108
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 1>get in through this window. It's bored on the outside,

109
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 1>left on the inside, and its dry as a bone,

110
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>so it was not open while it was raining. I

111
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute.

112
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 4>Both of you women saw a squire monthieth closed and

113
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 4>both his bedroom doors. Yes I did. And you didn't

114
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 4>hear a sound during the night, nothing but rain, No

115
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 4>angry voices, no scream.

116
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you recognize the knife he's been killed with? I

117
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want the book, sorry, lady, but who haves to go?

118
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.519
<v Speaker 8>Yes, yes, I know it.

119
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 6>It's the one that used to lie on his own

120
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.120
<v Speaker 6>table weight, his own hunting knife.

121
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey, there's something spooky about all this. He's all right.

122
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Last night at ten o'clock in the sheriff seize him,

123
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>speak to him so we know he's alive.

124
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.560
<v Speaker 4>Then and the two women here him lock himself in

125
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 4>his rooms.

126
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:56.959
<v Speaker 1>A few minutes later. When'd you try to wake him?

127
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>This morning? A few minutes after seven? It was I

128
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>couldn't give no, and Miss Hannah sat me for help.

129
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 4>I was passing by on my way to the village

130
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 4>when Mary ran out of the house. The door was bolted,

131
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 4>so I broke it in with an axe. All it

132
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 4>begins to look like suicide. No, the squire had no

133
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.959
<v Speaker 4>reason to kill himself. Well, no one got in here

134
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 4>through this locked door and got out again and locked

135
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 4>and bolted it behind him.

136
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>And nobody got in or out through this chimney. Guess

137
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.079
<v Speaker 1>it's post of them suicide.

138
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 4>I can't agree with you, and I know the doctor won't.

139
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 4>No man stabbed himself the way the Squire has been stabbed.

140
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.000
<v Speaker 4>The blade's been driven in clear up to the hill.

141
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>That's right. But listen, we've got to be sensible. This

142
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:29.399
<v Speaker 1>door was bolted, wasn't sure?

143
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.959
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I pulled the bolt myself after I crawled through

144
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 4>the hole I made in the door.

145
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, Then the room was closed. Nobody could get

146
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 1>out or in. And if nobody could get out of

147
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 1>or in, then it was suicide.

148
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 2>But it wasn't suicide. Squire Monteeth had been brutally murdered.

149
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.399
<v Speaker 2>And although today, twenty two years later, the Cambridge murder

150
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>is still an unsolved mystery, we believe we know the answer.

151
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Just a moment you will hear a solution to the

152
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Cambridge murder mystery.

153
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:52.600
<v Speaker 8>A couple of.

154
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen. Inasmuch as any solution must have.

155
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Necessity, be supposition, liberties of time, place and character have

156
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.600
<v Speaker 2>been taken in the solution for which you've been waiting.

157
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>The scene is the Cambridge Police station, where the Chief

158
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 2>is seated behind his desk talking to the sergeant and

159
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:39.240
<v Speaker 2>the detective inspector.

160
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.919
<v Speaker 4>Well, boys, a month as fassins the killing of the squire.

161
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.120
<v Speaker 4>As far as I can see, we're no nearer a solution.

162
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 1>A near compare a chief, and I don't think we'll

163
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>be any narrow one.

164
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.879
<v Speaker 4>A commissioner is going to about there next week when

165
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.159
<v Speaker 4>he hears what the local papers have had to say, Well, well,

166
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:52.960
<v Speaker 4>I wish some of these reporters would try their hand

167
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.759
<v Speaker 4>at solving the thing. They were half as good as

168
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 4>they think they are. I know it's tough, and I

169
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.200
<v Speaker 4>get it too. On every side, not a mote that

170
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 4>you could find at all. No one had it in

171
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 4>for the old squire. No, but yeah, gome On, Oh,

172
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 4>he'd only laugh at me if I David, only the

173
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 4>first laugh I've had out the case.

174
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Then all it's been so far is a bunch of grief.

175
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Speak up. Is hate for the squire. The only motive

176
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>that could lead the murder. What do you mean? I mean?

177
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 4>How about somebody having it into the police. You means

178
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.600
<v Speaker 4>somebody deliberately committing murder to battle the police.

179
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's been done before, if you recall a Camden case.

180
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:27.159
<v Speaker 1>But who who would you guess, Chief? The sheriff. Yes,

181
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the sheriff. He's hated us ever since we were sent

182
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 1>up here. He's always resented as taking over his job.

183
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:33.720
<v Speaker 1>But you can't accuse a man of murder. I'm not

184
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.279
<v Speaker 1>accusing him of murder. But between ourselves, I'll tell you

185
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.159
<v Speaker 1>what I think. Go On.

186
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 4>I think that the sheriff had been watching his chance.

187
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 4>He met the squire that night, he invited him up

188
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.360
<v Speaker 4>for a drink. He drug the old man's wine.

189
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Sleeping draft.

190
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.039
<v Speaker 4>Maybe that's why the old man doesn't wake up in

191
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 4>the morning, right, Chief. Then the sheriff shows up first thing,

192
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.080
<v Speaker 4>he watches.

193
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 1>For the servant girl, he goes up to the room.

194
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 4>Remember, he breaks the door and it says, don't look.

195
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.759
<v Speaker 1>He's been stabbed through the heart. That's what the women said.

196
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.919
<v Speaker 4>And from the doorway he couldn't see a thing on

197
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 4>that bed. I've tried, then you think. I think he

198
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 4>crossed the room, picked up the knife and stabbed the

199
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:09.799
<v Speaker 4>squire as he lay there under the influence of the

200
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.360
<v Speaker 4>sleeping may be right, I am right.

201
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>That's like you. I'm thinking. We can't do a confounded

202
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.279
<v Speaker 1>thing about it. No, no, we can't.

203
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.200
<v Speaker 4>We haven't got a single shred of proof.

204
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 2>And so Cambridge, twenty two years later, still regards the

205
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>killing of Squire mon Teeth as an unsolved mystery.

206
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:22.759
<v Speaker 3>Thing of the first

207
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:46.639
<v Speaker 4>P
