Speaker 8: By alurring Manfred Levity into the invitation, I'd be able
to appear in front of his son Dexter, as a.

Speaker 8: I didn't make my job of looking after him a
little easier. But after sheep said hotel, I picked up
an overnight bag heading for Westchester. It always opened by
the maid who found the chaufa's body.
Speaker 4: Okay, good, just into work first.

freshen up. This was my guest room, done in abilious purple,
in a green sulf fervent.
Speaker 4: That was overwhelming.
Speaker 8: Not a large bed, comfortable chairs, and an occupant a
young maid. Well it isn't a little maid. See you've
hung up my finger. Very nice, thank you. You've unpacked
my bag, very nice, thank you. See you went through
it pretty thoroughly too.

Speaker 4: And who did get you the job?
Speaker 2: A girl?
Speaker 7: Tell me about it, girlie.
Speaker 8: I know it's not a good hour to call it
sounds like the police.
Speaker 4: I'll take this up with you later.
Speaker 5: I hate this Jyrby and missus Leathabey, but it's about
that chauffeur of yours would die.
Speaker 2: What is just? How did it happened?
Speaker 5: And where? Well?
Speaker 4: Lieutennis Mike Harting himself?
Speaker 5: Oh no, not you grain check.
Speaker 8: What's a homicide man doing way out in the country?
Speaker 6: A Granger? Do you know this officer?
Speaker 4: We've met performances?
Speaker 2: Alavay Granger?
Speaker 5: Will you around when the chauffeur died?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 5: You remember the one? No march on him and the
Dark's verdict was that he died by poison self administered on.
We got a telephone call at headquarters telling us to
investigate the chauffeur's death, saying it was obviously a murder
if we can discover the truth.
Speaker 4: Who made a call? Man? A woman voice was the sguised?
Speaker 5: I called the local boys. They asked me to come
out here.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm terribly sorry. I'm late, convertible head of flat tire.
Speaker 2: And what's wrong?
Speaker 6: This is my son, Dexter Granger and.
Speaker 5: A hearting Lieutenant Mike Harding, a New York homicide Oh yes,
I forgot.
Speaker 4: Hey, what's the police officer doing out here?
Speaker 6: I'll explain later. Get ready for dinner?
Speaker 5: All right, Mother Granger, I want to talk.
Speaker 6: I actually I'm not interested in your conversation.
Speaker 5: Thanks now, great gentlemen, why are you here on marry job?
Speaker 8: Mother is worried that the wrong girl will marry little Dexter.
Speaker 5: Little dext Dance at least six y four, looks like
a let me wait, champion.
Speaker 2: And you call him little Dexter.
Speaker 4: First time I ever saw him. Her mother's chatter, you'd
think he was undernourished. Heaven her bit.
Speaker 8: I talked a ton on Harding about the maid what
she'd told me. I wanted to go easy on earth
since the little kid was on a verge of hysteria.
Then I went into dinner. Manfred Letherby was chatting away
to his son. Missus Lethby sat at the head of
the table, as formidable as an aircraft carrier.
Speaker 5: Dexter got eating so fat.
Speaker 4: Mother, I'm in a hurry.
Speaker 5: Better do as you, Murder suggest, Dexter. Sorry, but I've
got an appointment.
Speaker 2: I'm late.
Speaker 6: Now you are not going off with that girl again.
Speaker 8: Dexter woke down two pounds of meat, three baked potatoes,
a large patch of lettuce and tomatoes, and got out
of there. Missus Leatherby tossed me a knowing eye, but
I leaned back for one second. Then I made an
excuse to Manfred Leveby.
Speaker 5: But mister Granger, one never goes to bed this early,
not even in the country.
Speaker 4: I'm very tired. I'd like to get some of this.
Speaker 6: Let the man go to bed, Manfred. I'll take some backgammon.
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean yes, dear.
Speaker 8: I got out of the station almost as soon as Dexter.
I sat one car in back of him. So I
meet the girl with a quiet cocktail lounge in New York. Later,
I watched them being seated in a more quiet eating
place on the East Side. The girl was neither homeland
nor beautiful. She was just another girl. I ordered something
and made a mistake.
Speaker 4: I let Dexter get a look at me.
Speaker 8: Ten minutes later he loomed over me as big as
a house stone house. Oh, mister Granger, I thought you
were at the house in the country.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was Dexter. I got a call. I had
to get back to tom meeting a man shortly.
Speaker 5: Oh too bad, I thought you joined my fiancee, Beverly Elchey.
Speaker 4: We're over there. Oh are you saying? I didn't even notice.
If you've got a minute, come over, I'll introduce you.
I'm sorry, but I have to leave it. I was saying,
you don't stay out too late. I never do.
Speaker 9: Oh wait, wait, I'll walk you to the door.
Speaker 8: I walked along with young men, feeling like a tug
in tow by a steamer. When we got to the door,
his demeanor switched.
Speaker 4: I'll step out with you for a second.
Speaker 5: Don't get a cab your dormit no grain gin.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't bother snooping around after me.
Speaker 5: Understand I'm old enough to take care of myself.
Speaker 4: They're not snooping around a big shot. Don't try to
fool me. I know what you're up to.
Speaker 2: I know that another high Jim.
Speaker 4: What you want to take on a report to mother?
Speaker 2: We'll see this.
Speaker 4: It's your fist, so what so.
Speaker 8: If you don't want it smashing up your nose, keep
it out of my business. The boy held up a
fist in front of my face, and its sighs is
not calculated to inspire contempt. Was as big as a
ham and looked twice as meaty. I don't mind running
the normal risks of my profession, but at that moment
dexter Leab didn't bear any resemblance to a normal risk.
It looked more like a nasty rampage. After throwing me
a final Glerve dislike dexter Leab, went back into the restaurant.
I decided there was no point in standing on the
pavement shivering at the prospect of what the hulking youngster
might do to me. One my way to the apartment
of cal Hendrix, my newspaper friend Steve, my.
Speaker 5: Boy, you look as preoccupied as a bride over a
first biscuit. I, you know, to visit the.
Speaker 8: Ultra oprah Manford Letherby on that pseudo Southern baronial estate
of their. But cook some dexter is gadding around with
the girl he wants to marry. Mama wants to mix
its to it just a big bed. I know.
Speaker 4: He just waved his paw in my face.
Speaker 2: It's quite a boy around town.
Speaker 5: Had quite a long run with a nightclub singer, Eloise Benner.
Speaker 4: At say that again, Aloise Benner. Where she lived?
Speaker 5: I don't know, but there's a man who might locate
her named Norman. Runs the ship's grill over on tenth Avenue.
Speaker 4: I'll step over to the ship's.
Speaker 9: Grill, take along and ain't Carroll.
Speaker 4: You'll dress quiet or I'll sink it.
Speaker 8: That's what the ship's grill resemble a ship, like a
motorcycle resembles a Cadillac.
Speaker 4: I looked for the ship's.
Speaker 8: Crew captain and found him leaning down at the end
of the bar. You were looking for me, Yeah, I'm
Steve Gringer. I want to ask you a question.
Speaker 4: You know, the private eye watch the snoop act. I
don't know how much it's like to know where Eloise
Vene it.
Speaker 2: Is, but he want a flour.
Speaker 4: She knew Dexter Letherby. She also recommended a mad for
the Letherbys. That's not all go on, okay.
Speaker 2: Here it is.
Speaker 8: Dexter wants to marry some gal named Beverly Elkin.
Speaker 4: She's a society of bud. But the bloom isn't big
enough for mama.
Speaker 2: And the old lady wanted killed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, where's that a week fit into this? I don't know.
I'd like to find out here.
Speaker 2: I'm right down on that dress.
Speaker 4: Go there, maybe you can do yourself some good. Oh
who are you, mister fellow? Trying to get along? Well?
Speaker 7: Get along down the hole, take your foot out of
the door.
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you about Dexter Lellby.
Speaker 7: What about him? And how are you?
Speaker 8: I seen you around?
Speaker 4: I'm Steve Granger.
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, the.
Speaker 7: Snooper you knock these days instead of peering through pee
hole day.
Speaker 4: I want to ask you something.
Speaker 8: How come you told a kid named Lillie they get
a job with the Letherbyes because you knew a husband
was the chauffeur and she didn't.
Speaker 6: Why should I talk to you?
Speaker 4: You'll read the paper. You'll find that Lewis, the chauffeur
is dead poison. Oh no, get a talk.
Speaker 7: I sent Milly out there to the job. I wanted
her in the house. I wanted her to find out
something for me.
Speaker 4: What you are right?
Speaker 3: I think? So?
Speaker 4: Stay away from the window. No sign of him to
the front window and ran. He shot at me, Granger.
Speaker 7: He wanted to kill me.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: We'll get your stuff. Let's get out of here.
Speaker 8: I waited while Elouise bennerd got some things together, and
we headed towards the front door. As I opened it,
I found an unpleasant shock in front of him.
Speaker 4: Its name was Lieutenant Harding.
Speaker 5: Well well, Granger, and you were around every time a
shot is fired in New York.
Speaker 4: You're too complimentary, Lieutenant Harding. Who is this, Eloise Benneran?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, let's singing?
Speaker 5: What happened?
Speaker 4: Somebody threw a slug at her?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 4: Please, Mike? I have no mind, reader Granger.
Speaker 5: I thought you were following young Leatherby around trying to
break up that romance. What are you doing in midtown
Manhattan with a singer?
Speaker 7: Just a second, did you say romance? Young romance?
Speaker 4: Some girl named Beverly Elkin hy Nothing?
Speaker 8: Well, you mixed up with young Leatherby too. I, Lieutenant,
suppose you take miss Bennett into protective custody?
Speaker 4: Why because you look so charming when you're protected Granger?
Speaker 5: If this is another real famous gags, your next job
will be for the state pension permanently. I hope up
the river.
Speaker 8: I got Eloise Venner at a side whisper do to
say nothing, watch totting, enter into the police car and
drive off. I went back to Norman ships grill. I
was slightly furious the Yelowise Granger. You pulled a smart caper,
Norman Caper. You tipped me in, Eloise Benner It's address,
and either you or a Powell follows me and you
listen to what I've got to ask? Why the gunnect
the shut of Eloise through the window shut?
Speaker 4: What are you talking about?
Speaker 8: What happened to I'm gonna try to put her away
first at police said quarters in a protective custody.
Speaker 4: You're telling the truth. Call Anton and Harding and make sure,
lucky for you, she didn't get hurt.
Speaker 5: Why because Eloise Benner, it happens to be my sister.
Speaker 4: You're a sister.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Norman, how'd you find out that Lewis was killed
up at the letters place. Milly called and I so.
Speaker 4: Little maid tipped you up. I didn't say that, and
then you called.
Speaker 8: Police head quarters and just mentioned that Lewis's death could
have been murdered, not suicide.
Speaker 4: It was you, Norman, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: I thought I was right?
Speaker 4: And who is the killer? I'm not talking Ranger, I'm
not saying a thing.
Speaker 8: I tried to get another word out of Norman for
ten minutes, then gave it up and call Antennant Harding
on the phone.
Speaker 4: You agreed to send a car up and take.
Speaker 8: The bar on her end for questioning. I said I'd
come along. I wanted a word with Norman's sister, Eloise.
Speaker 4: Grangeer.
Speaker 3: What is this all about?
Speaker 7: Why did you have me brought down here and locked
up because I.
Speaker 4: Didn't want your heard? Elouise? I want to ask you something.
Speaker 8: Why did you get that funny expression on your face
when I mentioned a romance between next to.
Speaker 4: Leatherby and Beverly Elkin?
Speaker 8: Did I stop putting on me innocent act.
Speaker 6: I don't remember any expression on my face.
Speaker 4: It be mixed up in a killing. You realize that
somebody tried to put you away because you must know
something about.
Speaker 5: It, do I?
Speaker 4: You've got to made milliary job near her husband? Why?
Speaker 7: All right, I'll tell you Lewis was up to something.
I wanted to find out what it was, but I
never did.
Speaker 8: Now that was all the girl with childy. I went
back to herting Zabas and found him groom faced and angry.
Speaker 4: No one wouldn't answer any kind of question. He really
said he'd take care of his own business his own way.
A police officer.
Speaker 8: Could get into the record bureau, and Harding did after
I suggested something. Then we've got a prowl car out
of the garage and drove off to the Letaby place.
Speaker 5: I hope you are right, Granger, Yes, so do I.
How are you going to get into the house?
Speaker 4: Wake up the butlers?
Speaker 2: You crazy?
Speaker 4: You'll wake up everybody.
Speaker 8: You forget I'm a guest here. The butler was still up,
remembered me, led me in. Instead of going to my
own room, I headed for the one occupied by the
maid Milly.
Speaker 4: Missus Granger, don't make a som money? Do you want
to close the door? Missus Lenaby? We know something about you, Milly?
Speaker 8: What why don't you go through my bag because you
knew Louis was up to somebody, because.
Speaker 4: You thought I was either a gangster or a cup
I was afraid of you, and you warned your husband Lewis.
Didn't you not to go through with what he was doing?
Told me the truth? Yes, what was he doing?
Speaker 3: When I walked into his room? He was writing a note?
I flipped it off the desk.
Speaker 4: Where is it?
Speaker 3: I destroyed it?
Speaker 4: It was written to Dexter. Did it ask for money? Yes?
Is that what Eloise wanted you to find out? Yes,
yes it was.
Speaker 8: I told the girl to stay where she was, went
downstairs and let in Lieutenant Harding. We made one cautious
phone called at Dexter's love.
Speaker 4: Beverly Elkin. Then we woke up mister and missus Lethby.
Speaker 5: Mister Granger, what is the meaning of this? I really
don't think you should make us.
Speaker 3: A good hour.
Speaker 8: Missus Lattleby, you implied me to see that your boy
Dexter wouldn't marry Beverly Elkin. Well, and missus Lethaby, I'm
happy to say that Dexter won't marry her because he's
been married for some time. A girl named Eloise Bennerett.
Dear me, Dexter's in trouble too. It looks like he
was the one who poisoned the chauffeur. Lois Lewis was
blackmailingan but he couldn't have It's also possibly shot at
his own wife tonight, afraid she might reveal the best
secret I love Another goat Chips wasn't Litherby. It's also
possible he shot at his own wife tonight, afraid she
might reveal a secret to me.
Speaker 3: That's incredible.
Speaker 4: Mister Granger, Where is Dexter?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 3: I don't know?
Speaker 5: Had him?
Speaker 2: Granger?
Speaker 4: Come in? Dexter the police and I want to talk
to you police. He's cramming. Come on, honey, I wonder
which way when certainly dropped out of sight? Hey, there
he goes. Hold not other places.
Speaker 5: One of those big houses looks like it's been closed.
Speaker 4: Look it's running up on the porch. We he's gone inside.
Speaker 5: Hey this place is rotten with age.
Speaker 4: Yeah hold it, you got a life? Yeah, shout it
up those stairs. Okay, next to her, come back Donald
with shoot.
Speaker 9: Jam come under arrest.
Speaker 2: Come on, come down, Modding. We're going that stairway.
Speaker 4: It's giving away thanks to look out.
Speaker 8: When the rotting stairs in the old house broke apart,
Dexter let the beef fell from the second floor right
through to the cement floor of the basement. He lived
long enough to confess the poisoning of Lewis the chauffeur,
and shooting at his own wife, Eloise Carna, was summoned.
A Lieutenant Harding took care of the details. I bumped
into him a few days later, Lady.
Speaker 5: Young Dexter's death down Grange. No sense in hurting his
parents and nice people.
Speaker 4: It took it hard enough as it was.
Speaker 5: That Eloise bennerret she took it well too. She and
her brother filled in the details.
Speaker 4: Oh that is that, lieutenant.
Speaker 5: Including your fee that I presume flew out the window.
Speaker 4: You, Steve Granger. Yeah, special methage service.
Speaker 5: Fine here, thanks something interesting true, missus Lellaby.
Speaker 8: Oh let me a crack about my feet flying out
the window.
Speaker 4: So eyeing this check, I'd say I just flew in
the door.
Speaker 8: Steve Granger, again, you've just heard one of the most
interesting cases in my files. I'll have another one for you,
so be around next time.
Speaker 1: Welcome back well once again. Audio issues aside I thought
this was a really good mystery, particularly operating within the
ton limits that it had as a syndicated show. The
only thing that was a bit off was the attempt
at some sort of ribbing from the police spoil at
the end that just did not work because the question
of Granger getting paid really wasn't one. Now, I will
say that in cases where people hire the private detective
and the detective proves that they were the murderer, you
kind of expect that they won't pay because one, they're
not happy with being judged the murderer, Two they had
the ethics of someone who committed murder, and three, the
fact is that they are now in so much legal
trouble that the detective really can't do a whole lot
to them, and it's kind of a waste of everyone's
time to even pursue it. When it comes into his
case where the detective just finds out something that the
client doesn't like. Whether they like it or not, they
are going to pay up because the money is owed.
They have reputation, they have credit, they have a place
in the community. So yeah, they are going to pay
the detective in those cases, unless in general they're the
type of person who sniffs people. One other brief note,
and this may be one of those nitpicky, nerdy sort
of things that only I care about, but some people
may notice that when they search for this series online,
they will often find it spelled quite differently than what
we use here. In terms of the character's last name,
we spell it gr I in gr but there are
many sites and maybe the plurality that spell the character's
name without the eye. I was going with the spelling
with the eye, but Andrew and I were kind of
going back and forth on it because there were a
lot of sites where it was spelled without the eye,
and I found it was almost you know, this site
said with an eye, that site said without an eye.
Who actually was right? And I can't say one hundred
percent for sure. I pulled up newspapers, dot com and
the newspaper ads for when the series aired, and sometimes
it had with an eye and sometimes it had without
an eye. Ultimately we came down on the side of
with an eye because I found an Australian government report
listing all of the old time radio programs in Australia
that was put out by a government agency there, the
National Film and Sound Archive and they listed it as
spelled with an eye. Could they be wrong, Yes, but
it's about as definitive as we could get. So for
now it is Granger with an Eye. Listener, comments and feedback.
Now we go to YouTube. A comment from Saysoff regarding
the episode of The Falcon the case of the Big fix.
Aw Man, you beat me to the Blue Nash joke. Well, Saysoff,
You and I think one other person, at least on YouTube,
we're kind of carrying the whole Blue Nash thing for
the run of the Falcon, and I guess, to quote
the great Jimmy Duranty, everybody wants to get in on
the act. But thanks so much. I do appreciate all
of the Blue Nash observations, and the whole Blue Nash
thing is another reason to hope that someday we get
more episodes of The Falcon, just to see how far
that whole Blue Nash situation goes. All right, Well, now

Speaker 3: It's the Strangest Thing Inspector. I didn't want to make
of it. John Well, he hadn't been doing well lately,
and two months ago he came home and told me
he'd got a good job, a chance to start engineering
was down in Texas. Well, he left home. It all
seemed true. He wrote every week wonderful romantic letters and
sent money, and I was happy until I went to
the library this morning. Of great please, I was looking
through an old novel in the library. I found that
all my husband's romantic letters, all the details of the
people he was meeting and the work he was doing,
was taken out of that novel. Holy smook. I've got
the novel and some of John's letters here. You can
compare them. The passages in the book, Oh this most strange.
The envelopes are Postmark Texas and they they did write
post Yes. I thought maybe John was being held, maybe
he was in some kind of trouble, and whereber it
got him was sending a letter to I hope.
