Speaker 1: Welcome to the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio Sunday

we are sharing a special Sunday Encore program from our archives.
This program was played many years ago, and so any

Speaker 2: Re Welcome to the Great Detectors of All Time Radio
from Boise, Idaho. This is your host, Adam Graham. If
you have a comment, email it to me at Box
thirteen at Great Detectives dot net, follow us on Twitter
at Radio Detectives, and become one of our friends on Facebook,
Facebook dot com slash Radio Detectives. Well, before we get started,
I want to first of all encourage you. Let me
know what series you would like to hear that we
haven't played yet and aren't going to play anytime soon.
During our listener support campaign, we'll play three of these
programs and we need to hear from you By February
the eighth, we start recording those shows. Also, I want
to encourage you to take a look at my first
detective story and Adam's of Prevention. It's a novel at
and it's avail for non and nonsense for the candle
in most US territories the titles and ounce of Prevention. Well,
now it's Tom for today's episode of the Case Book
of Gregory Hood, The Adventure of the bees Wax Candle.
Speaker 3: Patree Wine brings you the Case Book of Gregory Hood.
Speaker 4: Tonight's the Petrick Family, the family that took time to
bring you good wine.
Speaker 5: Invite you to listen to the Adventure.
Speaker 4: Of the bees Wax Candle, another exciting story from the
Case Book of Gregory Hood. I hope you're sitting back
in a comfortable chair after a good dinner. Did you
try my suggestion to start that dinner with a glass
of Petrie California sherry. Patrie sherry is the best beginning
a good meal ever has. When you pull yourself a
glass of that patriy sherry, just look at the color,
a beautiful deep amber. Then hold that glass of Petrie
sherry up to the light. Notice how clear Petri sherry is,
just as clear as crystal. That you know is one
sure sign of a good sherry. But only when you
put that glass to your lips do you really know.
Speaker 5: How good Petrie sherry is.
Speaker 4: It has a flavor that comes right from the heart
of luscious sun, ripe and grape. And say, if you
like your sherry dry, you know not sweet. Petrie makes
a fine dry sherry. It's called Petrie pale dry. If
you don't know which you prefer, the regular or the dry,
why not dry both? Don't buy one, buy two, but
just be sure you always buy Petrie. Well, it's Monday
night in San Francisco.
Speaker 3: And we have a weekly date with Gregory Hood.
Speaker 4: And his friend Sanderson sat Tonight's rendezvous is that one
of this city's favorite and most colorful meeting places the
top of the Mark Hopkins Hotel.
Speaker 5: Let's join the Martelly Harry Bartel. How are you missus? Taylor? Hello, Gregory,
Harry comes to down.
Speaker 4: We were just discussing a story, really Sandy's story, so
I let him set the state for us and go ahead, Sammy. Well, Harry, No,
it's an adventure that happened last January. It's as vivid
in my memory as if it had taken place yesterday.
It all began one evening when Mary and I were
driving home from a party in the Berkeley Hills. Mary,
for your edification, Harry, being what Wilson would refer to
as Sandy's b W b W beautiful wife, I.
Speaker 5: Get a go on.
Speaker 4: We were driving the Packer convertible, but even with fog lights,
we could barely see the white line in the middle
of the road. Everything was a grayish blanket. I though
it was only a couple of miles from the party
to our home, we managed among the twistings of all
those unaccountable streets in the hills who get completely and
utterly lost. I didn't the drive beyond the face of
a somewhat depressed and anemic snail, and as we called along.
Speaker 3: I prayed that the white line would leader.
Speaker 6: Sandy.
Speaker 4: This FOG's rather exciting, isn't It doesn't make driving exciting, Mary,
I can hardly see the white line.
Speaker 5: I am afraid we're lost, like.
Speaker 3: A dream world, a kind of night when anything could.
Speaker 6: Happen, a night for adventure.
Speaker 5: He sound like gregorys All I want is home and fed.
Speaker 6: Oh that's nice too, But tonight I think it's rather
gay and rheumatic to.
Speaker 4: Be lost with you in the hill after seven years
of marriage, Darling.
Speaker 5: That's very fattery this.
Speaker 6: Man playing mcclownt isn't it good?
Speaker 5: Excellent?
Speaker 6: I wonder who lives around here? This plays like that.
Speaker 5: It sounds like.
Speaker 3: A professional turn it.
Speaker 4: Even the street light they're off, The power failures, mave.
Speaker 6: It is quiet, the sort of night somebody's in trouble.
Speaker 3: Stop the car hand darling. It's the middle of the night.
Speaker 5: We can't see your hand in front of us.
Speaker 6: Stop the car handy. That sounded like a woman's queen.
Come on, Sandy came from.
Speaker 4: Wait for me, Mary, Wait for me, darling.
Speaker 7: Where are you married? Mary? Mary?
Speaker 4: I've lost my wife and this fog. I thought you
might have come here. Sweep yep, I'd lost my wife
and this fog.
Speaker 5: She didn't come here.
Speaker 4: Did shed you lose her?
Speaker 5: I'd like to learn the trick. Look, I have no
time to joke. Do you have a phone? Still hoping
for one? Though? Well?
Speaker 3: How about the house next door?
Speaker 5: Missus McIntosh lived there.
Speaker 8: Thank you you're well, you poor man.
Speaker 3: Of course you can use my telephone over there.

running around by yourself.
Speaker 9: You had a quardle.
Speaker 5: Of course. No, we didn't, Missus macantash, of course you did.
Speaker 9: I know how these things happened. When I was a
young thing.
Speaker 3: I used to be mighty heads from the cell phone.
Speaker 4: But I assure you Police Headquarters, please, missus McIntosh.
Speaker 5: We heard a scream as we were calling along. I
stopped the car.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is Sanderson Taylor. I'm up in the Berkeley
Hills and.
Speaker 4: My wife just jumped out of my car and disappeared
in this fog.
Speaker 3: No we didn't, Lieutenant. As we were driving along, we
heard a scream.
Speaker 5: I stopped the car.
Speaker 3: My wife jumped out and just disappeared.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'll be over the troll cars.
Speaker 1: Where are you?
Speaker 3: Oh just a moment.
Speaker 5: What's the address of your face? Dry?

Speaker 5: I'll be waiting for you, And now I'll make you
a nice hungue of tea, and.
Speaker 9: Then you can tell me what you called about.
Speaker 5: Mister Taylor.
Speaker 4: We've been in every hour on this street and there's
no trace if you're wife.
Speaker 3: But Lieutenant King, she she can't just have disappeared.
Speaker 5: Looks as she has.
Speaker 4: You're sure you didn't have a row with her and
she hopped out on you. How many times do I
have to tell you that we didn't have a row? Okay, okay,
looks Taylor. It's nearly four in the morning. I suggest
to drive to your home. The FOG's lifting a little now.
But look, tell if your wife does get near her phone,
she'll be bound to call you.
Speaker 5: Or just take it easy with Taylor.
Speaker 3: I'll bet you'll turn up before morning.
Speaker 6: Good morning, Gregoryhood importers Taylor. I know, mister Taylor. Mister there,
he just left.
Speaker 5: Lord, I've been calling him all night.
Speaker 4: You know where he went?
Speaker 10: Yes, mister Taylor, he's down at the dock, supervising the
unloading of a cargo.
Speaker 1: You know the name of the boat or the peer number.
Speaker 5: I don't know the.
Speaker 6: Name of the boat, but I think he said pen
number sixteen.
Speaker 5: You're sixteen.
Speaker 11: Okay.
Speaker 5: If he should call you, tell him I'm driving over
there right away.
Speaker 4: And that's what happened, Gregory, And couldn't find any traits
on her. Gush, Sandy, I wish i'd been home. I
pulled my plane down to del Monte last night. I
came back early this morning.
Speaker 3: I must have called you forty times during the night.
Speaker 4: I've been absolutely frming.
Speaker 5: I have one hundreds.
Speaker 4: All right, Sandy, but let's step ashore and get to
a phone.
Speaker 5: I have an idea.
Speaker 4: Oh Lundberg, would you take over the unloading? Okay, be
very careful with that Peruvian consignment. I've got a special
client lined up for those inca headdressers.
Speaker 5: Come on, Sammy now and let me get this slight straight.
Speaker 4: You checked it all the houses near where Mary got
out of the car. Yes, as far as we know,
as I told the police, though it was hard to
stop the exact area. We were completely lost in that
darned plot. And your only real clue as to your
location was that guy who was playing the clarenet just
before you heard the stream.
Speaker 3: Yes, you say he was a good plan on top notch.
Speaker 4: I remember that Mary said he sounded like a professional.
And that's our only leader. Oh, here's a phone, Booths,
But you have a Nickel family.
Speaker 5: Sure? And who you calling? Harry James is at the
Saint Francis.
Speaker 4: He may be able to help us. You mean he
might know who the Clarense is. Sure, he's really good.
Harry will know him now, mister Harry James with.
Speaker 5: A swim chance Gregor crew too, but it's worth trying. Oh, Harry,
this is Greg Hood.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I must sound like the crack
of dawn.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry as I'm in a jam. Perhaps you can
help me. Well.
Speaker 4: My best friend's wife disappeared in a fog in the
Berkeley Hills last night. The last time she were seeing
somebody was playing a mighty sweet clarinet flight nearby. I
thought you might know, is there any really good clarinet
players living in Berkeley?
Speaker 5: You do the name of Bill Cooper? Huh? You have
his address? Harry and Luck Stanley.
Speaker 3: You know is a clarinet play in Berkeley head.
Speaker 5: He's looking up his a dress.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yes, Harry. The dress is one on nine
modern ways. Much obliged to you, Harry. Yes, i'll call
you later. We might have dinner together. And thanks a
lot you had.
Speaker 3: Your con hand, Sandy.
Speaker 4: Sure good, and let's head out across the bridge and
play a visit to Bill Cooper, the sweet clarinet player.
Oh this is his house all right? Does it'sri like
a responsive chords? And it's hard to say in the daytime,
but this street leads off hogs and drive and that's
why I ended up last night in the fog.
Speaker 5: I hope that Bill Cooper can help her, and so
do I.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard your sweet clarinet.
Speaker 5: I just couldn't resist dropping by.
Speaker 3: H you're a musician.
Speaker 4: I play around with the piano a little in an
other way.
Speaker 5: Well, come in, come in. I'm Bill Cooper.
Speaker 4: My name is Gregory Hood, and this is my friend
Anderson Taylor.
Speaker 5: All right, Sanna, Oh, I see you have a.
Speaker 4: Piano in here. Maybe we could try a little jam
session sometimes.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Maybe you a professional, mister Cooper.
Speaker 5: No, no, it's just my hobby.
Speaker 3: I'm a teacher of judo.
Speaker 5: That's an interesting combination, you know.
Speaker 4: But it is you to his great step, you know,
give you a feeling of power.
Speaker 5: Look, Bill, I hope you can help you.
Speaker 3: Last night, around twelve thirty, my wife and I were
driving near here.
Speaker 5: We heard you playing the clarinet. Yeah, that's right. I
was playing at that time, and.
Speaker 3: Suddenly we heard a weird scream. My wife jumped out
of the car to investigat and I haven't seen her since.
Speaker 5: I'm absolutely frantic. Yeah that's good. Huh, what can I
do to help you? Well?
Speaker 3: Did you hear that screen?
Speaker 5: Bill?
Speaker 3: You'd stop playing a few seconds before at twelveth sair?
Speaker 5: Do you say?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Say, I do remember hearing a kind of squawk. I
thought it must be the radio over the professors. It
certainly came from that direction, the professor. Yeah, that's a maya.
He lived across the street at one twelve. And then
let's say him a visit, Sandy. I'm much obliged to Bill.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's the hood.
Speaker 4: And when you're straighten out on your mix up there
where I come back and hit that keyboard where you
might not got a couple of hot lakes together.
Speaker 3: Mister Gregory hood door.
Speaker 4: I am glad that at last you've come to investigate
the house next door? And why should I investigate the
professor Miles House of mystery?
Speaker 9: Three things happened there.
Speaker 12: Things I do not understand, life and noises. And last night,
when I am in bags, I think I scream.
Speaker 3: You don't mean the house across the street, you, professor?
Where a Bill Cooper the clarinet player live? No, No,
I mean the house's next to you. It's supposed to
be anything.
Speaker 4: An empty house in this day and age. That's a
phenomenon I understand. In some ways it's just tied up
in a estate is set midsterhood. It cannot be told
until the only ship is the sight. Well, do's a mile?
Why do you say the house is supposed to be empty.
Speaker 12: No one lives in the hood, But many times I've
seen light and movement there. I do not like it,
And one night I think, idea, No, no, no, it
is impossible.
Speaker 5: We will check with you later, professor.
Speaker 4: Come on, stand this right now. We'll take a look
at an empty house that scream I's deserted, Gregory. Yes,
it does stand there, front doors, locker, yeah, yes, but
the locks of old fashions. It's a skeleton. Kee will
do the drink. I suppose I'm condoning a.
Speaker 5: Burglary, Gregory.
Speaker 4: I don't think they'll send us up the river on
this one, Oh, open, said to me. Come on, Sandy, Gregory,
I'm scared, suppose he.
Speaker 5: Well, the house is on furnished. What is it?
Speaker 4: Footprints and the dust, A woman's footprints leading into the
front room. Shut up, look lying by the fireplaces. It's marry, marry, marry,
all right handed, She's breathing must have been drugs.
Speaker 11: I run back to.
Speaker 3: Professor Myers and call the police and got them sent
an ambulance.
Speaker 4: Do that, Sandy, though, before you go, I suggest you take.
Speaker 5: A look by the window.
Speaker 9: There, god bearded man lying on the floor. He's unconscious too.
Speaker 5: Uh uh.
Speaker 4: If you look closer, you will see that he's wearing
a knife in the breast pocket.
Speaker 5: A knife fit in up to the hill stand there.
Speaker 4: I'm afraid we're now mixed up in murder. You'll hear
the rest of tonight's story from the case book of
Gregory Hood And it's good dinner and tell you how
to make a good dinner really great. Just serve that
good dinner with a good Petrie dinner wine. If you're
having hamburger, steak, chopped to in fact, any meat or
meat dish by all means, serve it with Petrie California Burgundy.
Petrie Burgundy is a haughty red wine with a marvelous flavor. Now,
if you're having fish or chicken, try serving it with
Petrie California so turned. Petri so turn is a delicately flavored,
subtle white wine.
Speaker 5: It's just perfect.
Speaker 4: And whether you serve Petri Burgundy or patri so turned
or Bolts. Remember you can serve them prouder because Petree
is the proudest name in the long history of fine wine. Well,
Gregory again, you left me, Cliffhang, what happened next?
Speaker 5: That's an easy one, Harry.
Speaker 4: Send is the police and an ambulance while I stayed
in that deserted house.
Speaker 5: Who is the ambulance arrived?
Speaker 4: We rushed out at the hospital with poor Mary and
taste the card anxiously while the doctor was.
Speaker 5: Why the devil oft me?
Speaker 3: Let me see her?
Speaker 5: Great easy say? By the way, did the face of
that bearded corp strike the responsive caud in?
Speaker 4: You No, I've never seen the flow before. I think
I know him. The beard to me at first, it
must be recent, but I'm certain he's a refugee named
George Renault.
Speaker 5: Taylor. Doctor. She's going to be all right. Yes, it Taylor.
She's going to be all right.
Speaker 9: Can I see her for a moment?
Speaker 5: Yes, but no longer.
Speaker 10: He's exhausted, Mary, Mary Darling, Oh Sandy here, Oh Grace,
how do you feel?
Speaker 5: Mary?
Speaker 9: Awful?
Speaker 6: Rather as if I've been trying.
Speaker 3: To rumble with a hurricane.
Speaker 9: Oh you, poor Don.
Speaker 6: I'm going to be quite all right, the doctor said,
I'm sucking from shocked, that's all.
Speaker 5: Oh what happened Mary?
Speaker 9: Last night?
Speaker 6: I mean, I know, greg guy. I ran down the street,
turned the corner, saw a light in the house, the
only woe that did have a light. The door was
open right, walked in st me something hidden in the
bedroom here And that's all I knew. Told us now, Mary,
except the squadron squadrons of two mooted butterflies have been
buzzing into my room.
Speaker 9: Squadrons. You to sleep greatly, Thank the Lord, she's safe.
Speaker 5: This we'll come back later.
Speaker 3: That's sair.
Speaker 5: Hello, a ten of king.
Speaker 3: This is Gregory Hood. Well how did you do it?
Speaker 4: The doctor tells me your wife will have to stay
at the hospital a.
Speaker 3: Couple of days. I guess I wish I could take
her home right now.
Speaker 5: Not at all.
Speaker 3: Sure you'll be able to do that when she's well.
Speaker 5: Mister Taylor, what.
Speaker 3: Are you driving at the Tennants?
Speaker 4: I may have the book her on Suspicion of murder
of mister Hood.
Speaker 3: Oh look, Kennedy, are you crazy?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: No, but your wife may be.
Speaker 4: We found her fingerprints on the dagger that was sticking
in the dead man's chest with.
Speaker 5: The blow on her head.
Speaker 4: Lieutenant, she was not told by a blow on the
back of the hair. That's her story, mister. But I
just talked to the doctor. He tells me there's absolutely
no evidence of her having had a blow on the
head at all. Do you have back again? My president
is coming.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Professor Miles.
Speaker 9: What is what did you find out.
Speaker 4: At the house of mister Quite a number of things, Professor,
including my wife and the corps, your wife and the cork.
Speaker 9: I knew it is a house of easy.
Speaker 4: I also found this book, Professor Meyer was lying under
Missus Taylor's unconscious body.
Speaker 5: I thought it would interest you.
Speaker 4: It's the sixteenth censory book, The House of the Mirror
of mass This confirms my suspicion as to that house.
Speaker 3: Next God, this is a book, a book.
Speaker 9: A greenware.
Speaker 3: What's a cream ware for such a mayah, I think,
mister Hood, No, don't you?
Speaker 5: I think so.
Speaker 4: It's a handbook of black magic, a collection of all
the most evil and supposedly potry spells.
Speaker 5: Isn't this correct?
Speaker 9: My friends? And this book is Malevli is one of.
Speaker 3: The most celebrated and horrible of all greenware.
Speaker 4: As a scholarmns of Wood, I would beg you to
give this book to the university library.
Speaker 9: As a man, I say.
Speaker 5: I can do neither of the moment, Professor, I'm study it.
Speaker 4: Within these worm eaten covers lies the answer to murder. Oh,
driving me crazy sitting around the house without Mary being
I know, I know.
Speaker 3: Did you call the hospital family here?
Speaker 4: She's fine, but Lieutenant King's still in residence there. We've
got to do something, Gregor, and doing my best.
Speaker 5: While you were.
Speaker 4: Driving the children over to your aunts, I divared the
mirror of malevole from cover to cover.
Speaker 5: And I'm confused.
Speaker 4: Fand this case isn't pleasant, fact is very messy.
Speaker 5: They're mixed up in black magic.
Speaker 4: Black magic smells a nasty, vicious evil mind.
Speaker 5: It works, but it means even worse.
Speaker 4: Gregory, for peach stake stopped coming.
Speaker 5: On a piano.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, I'm sorry though, sorry, I didn't mean to yell, Gregory.
I know what did you mean just now when you
said it was vicious and evil and worse than that? Well,
I was thinking what the police might imagine if they
realized this was a black magic case. If that scream
you heard last night was not a death scream, but
some part of the Tupi rituals. Supposing Mary wandered in
and something happened, well, Sandy, wouldn't it be possible that
she killed him herself?
Speaker 5: Gregory, You can't believe that.
Speaker 4: I couldn't, but Lieutenant King could, and I wouldn't blame him.
What we have to get is a confession from whom,
oh I know from whom all right, it's a question
of how, if only this done, book would Samday I
deserve to be kicked from.
Speaker 5: Here to Sacramento. What are you burbling about? I got
the answer right here in the book.
Speaker 3: Let me see yeh here it is.
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm reading from page ninety six of The Mirror Malevolee,
how you may make a murderer confess his crime in
a candle of pure bees wax. Insert the cuttings of
the nails of the dead Man's learned that in the
presence of the murderer and the spirit of the dead
man will descend upon him and torment him until he
do confess his murder. Correy, I'm willing to ride along
with you most times, but if you put me faith
in that kind of sun. Mind that Sanday, I think
this is going to work. Get your nail clippers. Then
we'll go out and find a nice white bee wax candle.
After that, I'm planning on playing a hot duet with
Bill Cooper, amateur clarinet player. I think we may smoke
out a murderer.
Speaker 6: Here.
Speaker 5: I'm flair. He came back, monsieur, what do you want
to play? A tad live?
Speaker 4: Bill went thought from here to remember I whipped up
a few weeks ago.
Speaker 5: Okay, you know all said.
Speaker 4: Yes, Gregory, I'm all said, okay, Bill, let's see where
you can go on from here right very much to
the now, Gregory, Yes, standing now much burning a bead
bright candle with George Renaud's nail pairing stuck down.
Speaker 5: And put it out. No matter, Bill put that candle.
Speaker 11: Out, got him put it out to me?
Speaker 4: Oh no, Bill, we'll hold you till you're gonna watch
the candle burn.
Speaker 5: It's pretty, isn't there. Don't you feel him?
Speaker 4: Now? Don't you the murdered man that's offended to tormented?
Let me going you eat bon commenting you Bill, as
long as that candle burnt it on?
Speaker 11: Could you confess? But George Renaud didn't you?
Speaker 5: Oh no, I can burn Bill.
Speaker 11: It's a burn, right top, Come on the wne.
Speaker 5: Not a minute.
Speaker 11: You and Renaul played a black magic, isn't you?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah?
Speaker 5: Good is? You admitted before that you had a taste
for power.
Speaker 9: Dot.
Speaker 3: You can get it that way, I said you.
Speaker 11: Finally you killed him because CAUs he would give you
more power than human sacrifice.
Speaker 7: I could skill for it.
Speaker 3: I can please.
Speaker 11: You did, Bill, And when missus Paret walked down the killing,
you drugged her with one of those paralyzing blows of
the peculiar the judo.
Speaker 5: The left no mark, and you planned to frame her
for the killing.
Speaker 6: You would have burnt on the dagger.
Speaker 5: Go in for it, Bill, you can of.
Speaker 11: Killed George Bose. Murdous spirit has returned. It will never
leave you, never unless you compare. We'll burn candles until
you forgot more daylight.
Speaker 7: Look at but tooth.
Speaker 5: Marry Darling, how you see.
Speaker 6: Dandy Gerber's fine? And Gregory, Yes, you were wonderful. It
didn't seems how DC he saved me from a possible
murder chide.
Speaker 5: I think you understand how it was. Why should she lieutenant?
Speaker 3: Personally?
Speaker 5: I think you have a horrid mind, and just the
guy who works on tap there, mister hood got a
nice fuerit confaction out of Cooper.
Speaker 9: He keeps saying, the dead man call meticin.
Speaker 5: How'd he do it?
Speaker 4: It could by using a four hundred year old book.
But Gregory, you didn't really believe in that stuff.
Speaker 5: Of course not. It's taken and horrible. But Bill Cooper
believes in this.
Speaker 4: The only way magic ever appears to work is when
the victim knows about it and believes that what made
you thig it was Cooper in the first place, or
to him, for one thing, the fact that he's been
an instructor in judo. That's what a conference, being able
to stun marry without leaving any physical trace.
Speaker 5: But the real printer was the screen last night.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't get you, Gregory.
Speaker 5: Cooper said he thought it was the professor's radio. But
there was a power of.
Speaker 4: Failure in this area at the time. You told me
stand it. But all the rights draft that's right if
they weren't sure. If Cooper had been in his own house,
he'd have been sitting in the dark. He'd have known
Don Well that his neighbor's radio wasn't working. He lied flashly,
and why should annis Man do so? Because he was
in the deserted house, led only by candles and improvising
on the clarinet.
Speaker 5: He didn't know about the power failure. But that doesn't
make a short case. I have to scare himtal tutation.
Speaker 6: Gregory, you're a very remarkable man.
Speaker 5: You're a very remarkable girl.
Speaker 6: I thank you for saving me my gas chander.
Speaker 10: Think nothing of it, Mary, but I do, and I
need you all promise what is it? Whenever we have
eat the dinner from now on, I'll set the table
with the drag scandals come handles without fingernails. And for
the main course, Gregory, we'll have twin moded butterflies.
Speaker 5: Well, greg that was some story. I didn't know you
knew so much about black Man. I'll let you in
on a little secret. Harry. I don't know a thing
about it. The only kind of magic I know is
what my old father talking.
Speaker 3: He did the most wonderful act of.
Speaker 4: Throwing a woman in her But it never works with me.
You mean you couldn't master the trick, rag, No, it
requires lots of practice. Oh and you couldn't find the time. No,
I shouldn't find the woman.
Speaker 5: Oh no, but Harry, you must know if you pretty
good tricks yourself? No, not one, Greg.
Speaker 4: Oh come on, Harry, how is it every time I
come to your house, you fishop, but marvelous meals and
you're no cook? No ha, Greg, that's because of the
pattery wine. Didn't your old father ever tell you what
a good dinner wine does for any meal?
Speaker 9: It all comes best to me now.
Speaker 4: And you know pattery wine is good wine. Why it's
got to be Look at the long years, the skill
and experience that goes into it's making. The Patrie family
has been making wine for generating. Wine making is their heritage,
a heritage handed down from father to son, from father
to son. So you can see why the Petrie business
has grown and grown so that today the Petrie family
are America's.
Speaker 5: Largest independent wine makers.
Speaker 4: Yes, the making of Petrie wine is a family affair,
and the Petrie family has every intention of keeping it
just that.
Speaker 5: So you know, the name Petrie on.
Speaker 4: A bottle of wine is more than a trademark. It's
the personal assurance of the Petrie family that Petrie wine
is and always will be good wine. Well, Greg, we've
which particular page of the case book.
Speaker 9: Are you turning too for next week's gore?
Speaker 4: Next week, Harry, I'm going to tell about an odd
story the Pitsuplace in Hollywood some months ago.
Speaker 3: It's in terms of noted.
Speaker 4: Columnist and extremely garrulous presagent to busy and a very
dead accert. I call the adventure murder in Cellibors. For
your next Monday, Harry, you bet dragon. And in the meantime,
it's you hear of any place called rent or sale?
Speaker 5: Will you let me know?
Speaker 4: Don't tell me you're looking for a place for las No, No, Harry,
is for a friend of mine, a veterans who.
Speaker 5: Just got back. Believe me, this housing shortage is really
hitting the.
Speaker 4: Returning servicemen high. And if anybody deserves the breaks they do,
I think it's up to us to do what we
can to see that they get first chance at any vacancy. Remember,
if you have a vacancy, lent it to a veteran.
Speaker 5: Good night.
Speaker 4: The Kate Book of greggory Hood is written by Dannis

Speaker 5: Time, same saf.
Speaker 11: The Great Book of.
Speaker 4: Gregoryhoo had come to you from my Hollywood studio. This
is Harry by Darrell saying good night for the Petrie family.
Speaker 2: Welcome back. Well as usual, a very interesting case. I
actually found it a little more scary or creepy the
first time I listened to it, But listening to this time,
the one thing that I noticed was that Gregory obviously
didn't believe in it because he was using Sandy's nails
in the candle, which obviously has no power in terms
of that particular curse. Well, now we turned to listener
comments and feedback and have this from Kevin Hi again, Adam,
a suggestion consider, since there are so many different series
running here, would you consider mentioning the air date or
approximen date of each program before you plan it, at
least as far as they available. I can't always remember
the time period we're dealing with, and it's interesting to
me either way. I always love your programs, and again,
thank you very much for your hard work and good quality. Well,
thanks so much for the question, Kevin. It's not an
unreasonable request. I do it on the War and because
we're dealing with a variety of different programs, but I
don't do it on every series, particularly this one, unless
we're we've had a bit of a jump, if we
had some lost episodes, then I'll usually mention the date
of the program. But unless I say otherwise, we're kind
of just, you know, one week to another. Though I
do understand losing track, you can always go to Great Detectors,
where we have show notes, and the show notes do
have the deed of the show in there. My one
concern is if I make that commitment to our listeners
that you know, and I say every time I do
it at the start of the show, I'll include the date.
If I forget, then I basically have to re record
the whole intro and I don't like doing extra takes.
But I'll go ahead and level set now as to
where we're at with each particular series that we're playing
right now. And if folks lose track in the future,
you can go to Great Detectives dot net on yours truly,
Johnny Dollar July thirtieth to August third of nineteen fifty six,
case Book of Gregory Hood June twenty fourth, nineteen forty six,
Nick Carter November fifth, nineteen forty four, and the lineup
December twelfth, nineteen fifty two. And if you ever lose track,
you can always check on the website because we do
keep that information there and it may even be in
the description if you have iTunes. All right, well, then
we'll do it for today. We'll be better back tomorrow
with the continuation of the Sea Legs Matter, and then
join us back here next Tuesday for the Casebook of
Gregory Hood. In the meantime, send your comments of Box
