A girl named Eloise Bennerett. 455 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,319 Dear me, Dexter's in trouble too. It looks like he 456 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,359 was the one who poisoned the chauffeur.

He lived 485 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,480 long enough to confess the poisoning of Lewis the chauffeur, 486 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:41,960 and shooting at his own wife, Eloise Carna, was summoned. 487 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,920 A Lieutenant Harding took care of the details. I bumped 488 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,079 into him a few days later, Lady. 489 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 5: Young Dexter's death down Grange. No sense in hurting his 490 00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:51,039 parents and nice people. 491 00:24:51,599 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 4: It took it hard enough as it was. 492 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 5: That Eloise bennerret she took it well too. She and 493 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,839 her brother filled in the details. 494 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 4: Oh that is that, lieutenant. 495 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 5: Including your fee that I presume flew out the window. 496 00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:07,799 Speaker 4: You, Steve Granger. Yeah, special methage service. 497 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:15,079 Speaker 5: Fine here, thanks something interesting true, missus Lellaby. 498 00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 8: Oh let me a crack about my feet flying out 499 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,039 the window. 500 00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:23,039 Speaker 4: So eyeing this check, I'd say I just flew in 501 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,480 the door. 502 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,039 Speaker 8: Steve Granger, again, you've just heard one of the most 503 00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:31,839 interesting cases in my files. I'll have another one for you, 504 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,720 so be around next time. 505 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,599 Speaker 1: Welcome back well once again. Audio issues aside I thought 506 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:56,359 this was a really good mystery, particularly operating within the 507 00:25:56,519 --> 00:26:00,480 ton limits that it had as a syndicated show. The 508 00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:03,759 only thing that was a bit off was the attempt 509 00:26:04,319 --> 00:26:08,680 at some sort of ribbing from the police spoil at 510 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,480 the end that just did not work because the question 511 00:26:14,599 --> 00:26:19,279 of Granger getting paid really wasn't one. Now, I will 512 00:26:19,319 --> 00:26:23,640 say that in cases where people hire the private detective 513 00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:27,680 and the detective proves that they were the murderer, you 514 00:26:27,839 --> 00:26:30,680 kind of expect that they won't pay because one, they're 515 00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:35,160 not happy with being judged the murderer, Two they had 516 00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:39,160 the ethics of someone who committed murder, and three, the 517 00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:42,039 fact is that they are now in so much legal 518 00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:44,960 trouble that the detective really can't do a whole lot 519 00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:49,160 to them, and it's kind of a waste of everyone's 520 00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:53,079 time to even pursue it. When it comes into his 521 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,599 case where the detective just finds out something that the 522 00:26:56,759 --> 00:27:00,599 client doesn't like. Whether they like it or not, they 523 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,279 are going to pay up because the money is owed. 524 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,680 They have reputation, they have credit, they have a place 525 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,279 in the community. So yeah, they are going to pay 526 00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:14,599 the detective in those cases, unless in general they're the 527 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,480 type of person who sniffs people. One other brief note, 528 00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:21,839 and this may be one of those nitpicky, nerdy sort 529 00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:26,200 of things that only I care about, but some people 530 00:27:26,279 --> 00:27:30,039 may notice that when they search for this series online, 531 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,640 they will often find it spelled quite differently than what 532 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,000 we use here. In terms of the character's last name, 533 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,839 we spell it gr I in gr but there are 534 00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:47,319 many sites and maybe the plurality that spell the character's 535 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,039 name without the eye. I was going with the spelling 536 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,720 with the eye, but Andrew and I were kind of 537 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,240 going back and forth on it because there were a 538 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,599 lot of sites where it was spelled without the eye, 539 00:28:00,839 --> 00:28:04,400 and I found it was almost you know, this site 540 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,400 said with an eye, that site said without an eye. 541 00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:11,279 Who actually was right? And I can't say one hundred 542 00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:15,960 percent for sure. I pulled up newspapers, dot com and 543 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:21,200 the newspaper ads for when the series aired, and sometimes 544 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,160 it had with an eye and sometimes it had without 545 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,440 an eye. Ultimately we came down on the side of 546 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,519 with an eye because I found an Australian government report 547 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,200 listing all of the old time radio programs in Australia 548 00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:41,960 that was put out by a government agency there, the 549 00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:45,759 National Film and Sound Archive and they listed it as 550 00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:50,039 spelled with an eye. Could they be wrong, Yes, but 551 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,039 it's about as definitive as we could get. So for 552 00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:58,119 now it is Granger with an Eye. Listener, comments and feedback. 553 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,960 Now we go to YouTube. A comment from Saysoff regarding 554 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,599 the episode of The Falcon the case of the Big fix. 555 00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:10,720 Aw Man, you beat me to the Blue Nash joke. Well, Saysoff, 556 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,359 You and I think one other person, at least on YouTube, 557 00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:17,640 we're kind of carrying the whole Blue Nash thing for 558 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,839 the run of the Falcon, and I guess, to quote 559 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,960 the great Jimmy Duranty, everybody wants to get in on 560 00:29:25,079 --> 00:29:28,079 the act. But thanks so much. I do appreciate all 561 00:29:28,119 --> 00:29:32,720 of the Blue Nash observations, and the whole Blue Nash 562 00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:36,119 thing is another reason to hope that someday we get 563 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,839 more episodes of The Falcon, just to see how far 564 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,440 that whole Blue Nash situation goes.

I didn't want to make 578 00:30:28,759 --> 00:30:32,720 of it. John Well, he hadn't been doing well lately, 579 00:30:33,359 --> 00:30:35,079 and two months ago he came home and told me 580 00:30:35,119 --> 00:30:37,880 he'd got a good job, a chance to start engineering 581 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,319 was down in Texas. Well, he left home. It all 582 00:30:41,359 --> 00:30:45,759 seemed true. He wrote every week wonderful romantic letters and 583 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,759 sent money, and I was happy until I went to 584 00:30:48,759 --> 00:30:52,160 the library this morning. Of great please, I was looking 585 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,960 through an old novel in the library. I found that 586 00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:58,000 all my husband's romantic letters, all the details of the 587 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,720 people he was meeting and the work he was doing, 588 00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:02,839 was taken out of that novel. Holy smook. I've got 589 00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:05,000 the novel and some of John's letters here. You can 590 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:14,599 compare them. The passages in the book, Oh this most strange. 591 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,279 The envelopes are Postmark Texas and they they did write 592 00:31:18,279 --> 00:31:22,799 post Yes. I thought maybe John was being held, maybe 593 00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:25,079 he was in some kind of trouble, and whereber it 594 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,680 got him was sending a letter to I hope. 595 00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:30,079 Speaker 1: You'll be with us then in the meantime.
