1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:24,559 Speaker 1: Betune for Asterly Theater. Come in welcome. I'm e. G. Marshall. 2 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,559 We have another story designed to hit you right between 3 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,240 the ears. Murder, of course, is a common everyday subject 4 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,479 of the mystery story, but we promise you that this 5 00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:41,000 one murder has an entirely new kind of definition. You've 6 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,159 heard the expression being of two minds well, Joe Vincent, 7 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,840 our hero, or should I say our victim, is very 8 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,600 definitely a man who could be described that way. The 9 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,479 only trouble is one of those minds seems to be 10 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:02,840 bent on homicide. Our mystery, my Own Murderer, was written 11 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,680 especially for the Mystery Theater by Henry Slesser and stars 12 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,719 Mandel Kramer. It is sponsored in part by Anheuser Busch Incorporated, 13 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,040 brows of Budweiser and Buick Motor Division. I'll be back 14 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:28,280 shortly with that one. What is the past? What is 15 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,200 the present? Sometimes our minds can no longer tell the difference. 16 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,680 Sometimes the strains and stresses of our lives stop us 17 00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:42,439 from sorting out the differences between them. And now you're 18 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:46,079 about to meet a man who has this problem and others. 19 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,280 But in order to meet him, we have to take 20 00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:52,560 you away from what we hope are your comfortable surroundings, 21 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,519 and bring you to the mean streets of skid row, 22 00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:00,840 to the shabbiest part of a large metropolitan city, because 23 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:10,439 that's where you'll find mister Joseph Innocent. I woke up. 24 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,000 There was nothing unusual about waking up. I've been doing 25 00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:17,639 it all my life, But lately waking up has been 26 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,439 the beginning of a nightmare, not the end. The moment 27 00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:24,439 I opened my eyes, I knew this morning was going 28 00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:28,159 to be one of those one of those days when 29 00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:31,240 I'd have to face that terrible emptiness again, with a 30 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,639 frightening jump between the reel and the unreal cause. When 31 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,120 the cold light of morning ooze through the dirty panes 32 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,680 of the window in front of me, when I finally 33 00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:44,120 mate inside of the strange angles and unfamiliar shapes that 34 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,759 formed my surroundings, I realized that I was in a 35 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,960 room I'd never seen before, the hotel room. Probably there 36 00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,599 were always hotel rooms, foul smelling boxes. But I was 37 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,680 Joseph Vincent, and I didn't belong in a flea bag 38 00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:08,879 flophouse of a hotel. I didn't belong in this cell 39 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,879 of misery. I was Joseph vincent, and I was rich. 40 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,840 Hello here, your check out time is twelve o'clock. What 41 00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,680 was that? This is a hotel, buddy, not a funny room. 42 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,400 You got twenty minutes to get out of here. I'll 43 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,199 have to charge you another nine bucks nine dollars? Is 44 00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:29,680 that the rate? 45 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: That's right? 46 00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: I told you that way? You checked ten? When when 47 00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:38,000 was that? What time last night? Was that drunk? All right? 48 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:41,599 All right, just tell me one more thing. What's the 49 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,879 name of the hotel. It's the Hotel for Coys? All right, thanks, 50 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:54,319 and don't worry. I'm leaving. I managed to get myself 51 00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:58,680 out of the bed. I was still dressed. Pants and 52 00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:01,960 shirt were eroded by but my jacket was lying untouched 53 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,280 across a molded arm chair. I reached for the wallet 54 00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:07,120 and checked my money. 55 00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: It was all there. 56 00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:14,759 Speaker 1: And then I saw something else. There was a water 57 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,680 glance in a small bottle. I picked it up and 58 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,720 looked at the label. There was a scum and crossbones 59 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:27,639 on it. I flushed and cold. The small label blurred 60 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,600 in front of my eyes. It was poison, no doubt 61 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:38,160 of it. I put the bottle down. I struggled into 62 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:41,720 my jacket, went to the mirror to check out the 63 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,560 condition in my face. There it once once more, the 64 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,199 same comendious sign, the letters written in soap across the 65 00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:51,000 face of the mirror, and the message was signed as 66 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,800 it always was, but this time the words read next 67 00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:03,519 time you die, come in, mister Vincent. Thank you? Doctor 68 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,639 uh play sit down? Thank you. Why don't we begin 69 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,560 with the obvious? Tell me how you got my name? Well, 70 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,920 you may not be planted d but I found it 71 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,439 in a directory, a medical directory in the library. Well, lease, 72 00:05:20,519 --> 00:05:23,920 she knows something about my credentials, so why not tell 73 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,800 me about yourself? Well, you know my name, Joseph Vincent. 74 00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:33,879 I'm in Wall Street. Oh I was. I've been sort 75 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,120 of retired for a while. How old I, mister Vincent? 76 00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:41,759 Fifty six? Was young for retirement? Was it voluntary reasons 77 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:47,120 of health? Yes, it was voluntary. I I made quite 78 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,439 a bit of money in the market. I didn't see 79 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,399 any real reason to keep to a nine to five schedule, 80 00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:59,600 especially especially after my wife tied. When was that? It 81 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,279 was about a year ago? Was an amoutile accident? I 82 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,240 I was in the same crash, but I came out 83 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,800 with just a concussion. Eleanor was killed out runt who 84 00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:15,920 was she driving? No, I was anyway. Uh. That was 85 00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:19,319 when I decided to quit. The work didn't seem so 86 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,199 interesting to me anymore. And then there was this other thing. 87 00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:29,399 What other thing, this thing that had started to happen 88 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:38,199 to me? Well, what was that exactly? Doctor Abrams? Someone 89 00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:43,720 is trying to kill me. Are you really certain of that, 90 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,639 mister Vincent? Yes, there have been three attempts. The last 91 00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:49,920 one took place two days ago. That's when I decided 92 00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:52,680 it was time for me to see somebody, a psychiatrist 93 00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:58,480 and not the police. Yes, And I asked why. Well, 94 00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:02,480 the person who is trying to kill me is myself, 95 00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:07,240 I've mister Vincent. Are you telling me that you have 96 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,120 suicidal impulses? No, no, doctor, I don't have anything of 97 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,600 the kind, not me. Look, I get these spells, doctor, 98 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,360 They started right after the accident. I keep waking up 99 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,079 in filthy hotel rooms. Is that what happens during these spells? Yes? 100 00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:31,079 I suppose maybe you could call it amnesia blackouts. I've 101 00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:33,040 had half a dozen since the accident, each one a 102 00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:36,600 little longer than the one before. They come on suddenly, 103 00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:40,959 without any warning, and then I I just find myself 104 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,480 in one of these cheap rooms downtown around tenth Avenue 105 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,800 or something I have. Sometimes I wake up at home 106 00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:49,519 in my own bed. Do you live alone? No? I 107 00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:51,680 have a housekeeper, Missus mc levey. She's been with me, 108 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,600 it well, for more than twenty years. She's been worried, 109 00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:59,720 sick about these disappearances of mine. Tell me about the 110 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,759 last time. Well, I I woke up in a place 111 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,000 called the hotel my goalies. I must have been drinking. 112 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,759 I had a hangover. It still taste the wine I 113 00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:16,279 had drunk, a cheap muscatelle. There wasn't any wine bottle 114 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:20,120 in the room, but there was something else, the bottle 115 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,759 of poison. Poison. Yes, And there was one more thing. Well, 116 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:31,000 was that a note written on the mirror in soap? Well? 117 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:38,120 What did it say? It said, next time you die? 118 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:44,279 And it was signed Joe vin Cilli, Joe Vincelli. Who's that? 119 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,399 It wasn't the first time. Vincelli had threatened me twice 120 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,039 before he left notes from me on the mirror. This 121 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,159 time he turned to poison me next time next time? 122 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,879 He is it? Mister Vincent? Who is j Joe Vincelli? 123 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:05,679 I told you it's me. Yes, Look, I know my 124 00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:09,559 name is Joseph Vincent, but it wasn't always. I came 125 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,440 to America thirty four years ago, and my name was 126 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,480 Giuseppe Verdi Vincelli. My father was a great opera lover. 127 00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:20,360 Everybody called me Joe when I arrived, and I had 128 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,799 a lot of different jobs. I I was a construction worker, 129 00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:25,600 I was a barber, salesman for an ice cream company. 130 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,879 Then Uh, a friend of mine got me interested in 131 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:32,080 the stock market. I went to school at night for 132 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,200 about four years, and then I got a job down 133 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,799 on the street. I don't know. Maybe I was smart 134 00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:41,480 and maybe I was lucky. But and why do you 135 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,679 think Joe Vincelli is after you? I don't know. Doctor, 136 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,000 That's why I'm here so you can explain it to me. 137 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,639 Why this other man that's in me in my own 138 00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:04,200 body wants me dead? U, Doctor Edwin, he ask Penny. 139 00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:06,919 Speaker 4: I just wanted to remind you that mister Vincent will 140 00:10:06,919 --> 00:10:07,840 be here at four o'clock. 141 00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:12,159 Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes, I I remember all too well. 142 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,879 Speaker 3: You don't sound very happy about it. 143 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,639 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that this case belongs to my office. 144 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,519 Speaker 3: You've dealt with suicidal types before. 145 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,519 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I've dealt with the minutes not difficult to find. 146 00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:28,600 A suicide motive in Vincent's case, guilt over the death 147 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,639 of his wife because of the auto active an auto 148 00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:36,159 that Vincent was driving. Subconsciously, he blames himself for her 149 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,039 death and is seeking punishments, the only punishment that fits 150 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:46,320 the clime. So he's resurrected the cruder, more violent personality 151 00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:50,840 of Joel in Chilly to do the job for him, 152 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:56,919 and I'm afraid he might succeed. How awful this other 153 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,240 personality knows that Vincent is trying to defend himself, so 154 00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:03,799 he's all the more cunning, all the more difficult to reach. 155 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: Maybe you need an exocist. 156 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,879 Speaker 1: Doctor, Maybe I need a detective. What It may take 157 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,200 months to get the answers out of Vincent's unconscious and 158 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,360 by that time. 159 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 3: But what could a detective do? 160 00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:20,919 Speaker 1: He could follow the man, find out where he goes 161 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,960 during these blackharts, what he does. 162 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 3: Do you think that would help? 163 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: If I knew the answers to those questions, I might 164 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,200 be able to save his life. 165 00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:33,919 Speaker 4: Doctor Abrams, don't you remember what my husband, Pete does 166 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:34,480 for a living. 167 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:43,159 Speaker 1: Your husband, he's a pop I don't understand what you 168 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,960 intend to do. Doctor Abrams. Well, I know it's unorthodox, 169 00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:48,960 mister Vincent, but I think the problem is critical enough 170 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,120 to want some unusual tactics. That's why I wanted you 171 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,080 to meet mister o'connorck. Just call me Pete, mister Vincent. 172 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,200 Pete is my nurse's husband. At the moment, he's on 173 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,320 leave from the police force. I've got a minor disability. 174 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,480 A junkie stab me in a side last month. But 175 00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:05,600 don't worry. I can get around. Just fill. What do 176 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,000 you intend to do? Arrest Jove and Kelly. You're not 177 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,120 too far wrong. What we need to do, mister Vincent, 178 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,200 is find out exactly where your friend Jove in Shelley 179 00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:20,200 takes you when you have these spells of amnesia. I 180 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,919 could continue to probe your unconscious for that answer, and 181 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,639 I will, But at the same time, I'd like to 182 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,600 try a direct approach to the problem. Yeah, I see 183 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,720 that it doesn't make sense. I've often thought I needed 184 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,200 to be watched. If we can catch you in the 185 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,240 personality of Jove and Kelly, mister Vincent, maybe we can 186 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,799 make Joe listen to reason and leave you alone. But 187 00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:46,080 the least we can do is stop them from killing. 188 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:53,879 Speaker 3: You just wanted to say good night, Doctor Abrams. 189 00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:55,279 Speaker 1: Good night, Panny, see you tomorrow. 190 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 4: You know, if you wanted me to work on those 191 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:58,919 files tonight, I. 192 00:12:58,879 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 3: Could do that. 193 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,399 Speaker 1: No no, oh no, Kenny, you've run along home and 194 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,919 the buyouts can wait for another time. 195 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,799 Speaker 4: Tonight isn't a bad time at all, since I won't 196 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,000 have a husband to cook for it. 197 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,159 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's true. I forgot Pete's starting this surveillance tonight. 198 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 3: He called it a stakeoun I'll get that, Doctor Abrams office. 199 00:13:17,159 --> 00:13:18,759 Speaker 5: Benny, it's Pete. 200 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,639 Speaker 3: Hi, we were just talking about you. 201 00:13:21,159 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 5: Ah great, that's why my ears are burning. Say nothing 202 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,200 on the rest of my face. 203 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,519 Speaker 3: He sounds funny. Is anything wrong? 204 00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm wrong. 205 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 5: This layoff of mine must have turned me stale. 206 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: Pete, what's happened? 207 00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: I lost up the job. 208 00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 4: What's the matter, doctor, I I think you better talk 209 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:37,639 to my husband. 210 00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:40,039 Speaker 1: Oh, Pete, what's the trouble? 211 00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:43,399 Speaker 5: He out foxed me, Doctor Abrams. The first night I 212 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,799 let Benson get away. He took this razor and got 213 00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:46,360 away from him. 214 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,399 Speaker 1: Razor, what are you talking about? 215 00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 5: I spoke to his housekeeper, missus mccleey. She called him 216 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,759 packing up this straight razor and leaving the house. If 217 00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:59,360 we find Vincent with his throat cut, it'll be my fault. 218 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,519 Speaker 1: Well, the question is who got away? Was it Joseph Vincent, 219 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,200 the wealthy, cultured, retired stock broker, or was it tough 220 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:19,200 Jove Vincelly, a man capable of violence, perhaps capable of murder? 221 00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:24,399 And would both personalities finally come into conflict and end 222 00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:28,360 both their lives were in a great deal more when 223 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:41,720 I returned shortly with that two, Joseph Vincent has disappeared, 224 00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:45,799 and in the offices of doctor William Abrams, a gloomy 225 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,559 trio has gathered to determine their next step, none of 226 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,559 them certain that Joseph Vincent hasn't already known the vengeance 227 00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:57,000 of his alter ego, Jove Vincelly. I don't know how 228 00:14:57,039 --> 00:15:00,639 I could have been so stupid. They I was here 229 00:15:00,679 --> 00:15:02,000 about this. They won't let me back. 230 00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 3: Stop blaming yourself, Pete. 231 00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: No, No, it's my fault. Really, I should have warned 232 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,399 you that something like this could happen. Yeah, but the 233 00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:12,679 very first night of my stakeout, that's something I never figured. 234 00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:17,120 It's something that Joseph Vincent's alder ego figured. However, Pete. 235 00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 3: How did it happen? Exactly? 236 00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:20,639 Speaker 1: Well, I was sitting outside in my car and I 237 00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:23,159 saw mister Benson leave in his house, so I started 238 00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:25,399 the engine. Well that's when he waved to me and 239 00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:27,960 came over. Well, I did he say? He just said 240 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,360 he was walking around the corner to the newspaper store. 241 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,639 Speaker 3: Did he look the same, sound the thing? 242 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: Exactly? I couldn't see anything wrong with the guy at all. 243 00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:40,279 He fooled me, Penny. He wasn't Joseph Vincent at all. 244 00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:43,679 It was this other guy, jove and chilly. Well what 245 00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:46,279 did you do when he didn't return? I went looking 246 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,240 for him, of course, but he was nowhere in sight, 247 00:15:48,919 --> 00:15:51,039 so I figured he hopped the bus or a taxi. 248 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: His car was still out in front. 249 00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:54,759 Speaker 1: That's right. Well, anyway, that's when I decided to go 250 00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:57,519 into the house and talk to missus mcleebey his Housekeep right, 251 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,440 and she tells you about the racing. Yeah, she said 252 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,039 she passed Vincent's bedroom and saw him putting the straight 253 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,039 razor into a case and slipping it into his coat pocket. Why, 254 00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:11,240 I think I'd like to ask missus mclavy that myself, 255 00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:16,240 I feel. 256 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 3: Just terrible about this. Doctor, just off. 257 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: I just don't. 258 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,519 Speaker 3: Understand it, Doctor Athrams. 259 00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 4: I've known the man for twenty years and I've never 260 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,399 seen him access strange. 261 00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:29,519 Speaker 1: When was the first time you knew about mister Vincent's problem? 262 00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:30,759 Speaker 3: I never did know. 263 00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:33,639 Speaker 2: The first couple of times he didn't say a word. 264 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,360 But then he couldn't hide the truth anymore. Once he 265 00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:40,120 was gone for a hall week, just walked out of 266 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,039 the house with all the work and didn't come back 267 00:16:43,039 --> 00:16:46,559 for a week. His clothes were a terrible mess. They 268 00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:49,279 were in such bad shape. He told me to throw 269 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:49,799 them away. 270 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,399 Speaker 1: And did you, yes, did you notice anything unusual about 271 00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:58,039 the clothes?

It would appear that 417 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,200 Mike the Barber gave good advice to his friend Jovin Shelly. 418 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,440 Too much Vino obviously doesn't do him any good. In fact, 419 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,640 too much Vino seems to be threatening his life at 420 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,000 the moment. Obviously, more than one person seems to want 421 00:25:53,039 --> 00:26:00,000 mister Vincent dead. Or is Phil's intended victim Jovencelly. We'll 422 00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:15,519 find out when I returned shortly with Act three, Joseph 423 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,039 Vincent has disappeared, and a man who used to call 424 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,119 himself Jovin Shelley has taken over his body, returning to 425 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,000 the trade. He knew he was a young man, but 426 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,519 Jovin Shelley has encountered another young man who doesn't seem 427 00:26:29,559 --> 00:26:33,119 to like Barber's and is about to do something about it. 428 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,680 At the same time, in the office of a psychiatrist 429 00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:41,359 named doctor Abrams, a worried Trio ponders the problem. I 430 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,119 can tell you one thing. Vincent didn't take a taxi 431 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,480 when he walked around that corner. I checked it out 432 00:26:46,519 --> 00:26:49,279 the hack bureau, no cavium ofcinity. He picked up a 433 00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:52,279 guy that fits his description that night. Therefore, he either 434 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,319 walked to where he was going or he took a button. 435 00:26:56,799 --> 00:26:59,400 Let's face it, where did that add? 436 00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:01,039 Speaker 3: Is that word? 437 00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:05,039 Speaker 1: You really think the guy's a menace to his own life. Doctor, Well, 438 00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:06,880 he hasn't been my patient long enough for me to 439 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,720 answer that, but based on his past history, I'd say 440 00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:12,440 the chances are pretty good. 441 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 4: And I'll get it Doctor Evans's office. Who, Yes, he's here, Pete, 442 00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:23,920 that's calls for you. Oh a man named Halsey. 443 00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:28,559 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's Sam Halsey from a lab Hello Sam? Yeah, 444 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,480 uh huh uh uh uh? How many did you say? 445 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,039 Oh that's peculiar? Huh yeah? Yeah, sure, Well thanks a lot, Sam, 446 00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:39,319 I really appreciate this. 447 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 3: So on, what was that all about? 448 00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: Oh, the laboratory isn't still working on those clothes at Vincent? 449 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,680 Do it? No? Not the suit that was dry clean. 450 00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:50,680 But I found another suit in Vincent's closet. I kind 451 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,279 of well borrowed it to see if we would turn 452 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,240 up the same kind of face powder, did you know? 453 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,880 But Sam says they found something else. They found hairs 454 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,640 on the suit, small particles. 455 00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 3: Of hair blonder brunette. 456 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: Well that's the crazy part. They found both and some 457 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,079 redhead too. 458 00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:10,759 Speaker 3: Wow did you say he wasn't a romania? 459 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:16,319 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, if there were small particles, huh course, 460 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,160 I just remembered what Vincent told me about his early 461 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,759 life in this country. What did he saying? He had 462 00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:24,440 several jobs here before he got into the stock market, 463 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,359 and one of them was barber barbey. That would explain it, 464 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,839 all right. The small bits of hair and that calendar 465 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,000 he brought home that time. Where's a better place to 466 00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:37,759 pick up a girly calendar than a barber shop. And 467 00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:39,960 that face powder on his clothes, Well, that's it. He 468 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,160 goes to a barber shop, I'd say he probably works there, 469 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,279 and that would explain why he packed that straight razor 470 00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:47,759 of his. It's probably the same razor he used when 471 00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:49,440 he started shaving guys in America. 472 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,279 Speaker 4: But why in the world does he want to work 473 00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:52,160 in a barber shop. 474 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: He's a rich man, ah, but he's not a rich man. 475 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,720 When Joven Shelley takes over his body, he's the poor 476 00:28:57,759 --> 00:29:00,400 immigrant all over again during the same work he then, 477 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,400 So all we've gotta do is find out which barbershop 478 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,759 he works in. He's sure to be working under his 479 00:29:06,839 --> 00:29:09,319 old name, Ben Chilly, But there. 480 00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 3: Must be a thousand barbershops in this city. We can't 481 00:29:12,519 --> 00:29:13,759 call all the barbers. 482 00:29:13,759 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: Well, if we're lucky, we won't have to call them all. 483 00:29:17,599 --> 00:29:27,200 We'll find the one where mister Binceilli is working. Come on, Joe, Ah, 484 00:29:27,359 --> 00:29:31,640 you can make it, old buddy, just a few steps more. Hey, Hey, hey, 485 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,960 you're bringing that wino back here?

Ye huh. 541 00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:53,759 Speaker 4: Is that why you're here? 542 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 3: On a gambling back. 543 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 6: We'll forget it. It was just a friendly game. 544 00:32:58,359 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's not why we're here. We came 545 00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:02,839 to ask you about a friend of yours named Phil 546 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,640 and his friend Joseph. I mean Joe Vincelli. Was mister 547 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,920 Vincelli here today? Miss? 548 00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah? 549 00:33:09,759 --> 00:33:13,799 Speaker 1: He was? So what where's mister Bencelli? Now, how should 550 00:33:13,839 --> 00:33:17,039 I know? The game broke got when they left Miss French. 551 00:33:17,559 --> 00:33:20,599 This may be hard to explain. But this man, you know, 552 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,599 is jove Incelly, isn't jove Incelly. He has another personality, 553 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:26,680 another identity. 554 00:33:27,079 --> 00:33:28,519 Speaker 6: I don't know what you're talking about. 555 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,079 Speaker 1: Well, it's not important that you understand. What is important 556 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,000 is that Jove Incelly is in danger of taking his 557 00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:36,799 own life. We've got to find this guy before he 558 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,039 hurts himself. Now can you understand that much? Hey, Pete, 559 00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:43,279 wait a minute, look at this? Well what is it? Doc? 560 00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:48,240 A match book? The Hotel Margolies. Heye, that's right across 561 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,799 the street. That's where Vincent went the last time. Maybe 562 00:33:51,799 --> 00:34:01,119 he's gone back again, Vincent, Joe, are you in there? 563 00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:03,799 He might be a sleep or worse? Am I you 564 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,599 open the door? All right? Already? All right? Oh good lord, 565 00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:16,679 it's good. Turned the heater off, the window open, Hey, Doc, 566 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,480 look at that mirror. Yeah, he's written all over with 567 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,800 so hey is he dead? No? No, he's still alive. 568 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,320 All right. I came up the hall quick, give me ahead, 569 00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:31,719 come on? Yeah you sure he's great? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 570 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:39,599 he got mister bell. Sure. I don't know what's going on. Oh, 571 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:46,599 doctor Abrams. So you yeah, yes, it's doctor Abrams. Do 572 00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:53,159 you know who you are? I'm Joseph Vincent. Ah, no, 573 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,159 that's something anyway. Hey, doc, do you see what it 574 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,599 says on the mirror? Yes? Just one word? 575 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,679 Speaker 3: Uh that? 576 00:35:03,119 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: Yeah? And it signed Joe Vincelly. What what happened to that? 577 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,239 Did I do it again? Did I try to kill 578 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,440 myself again? It looks that way, mister Vincent, only this 579 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,320 time you almost succeeded. Hey, hey, wait a minute, what 580 00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:24,360 is it, pete? Mister Vincent, let me see your hands? 581 00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:29,320 My hands, Look at 'em? They're guilty or so? What? 582 00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 2: Well? 583 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: It means he hasn't washed them? No, I guess I didn't. 584 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,920 There's no soap smell out of me, not a trace. 585 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,280 Why are you getting that? Pee? The note on a 586 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,719 mirror was written with a cake of soap, but there's 587 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,440 no trace of soap on mister Vincent's hands. He didn't 588 00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:50,199 light on that mirror, Doc, Mo, we were wrong about 589 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,880 Joe Bncelly. No, Pete, I'm sure there's a vin Shelley personality. 590 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,360 But maybe Vincelly isn't a killer. Maybe the killer's got 591 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:09,920 an identity all his own. I Mike, Oh, heller and 592 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,079 there said you called her something about my buddy Joe. Yeah, 593 00:36:13,159 --> 00:36:16,800 that's right. I'm afraid Joe won't be around the shave. 594 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,039 You of the horse fear nor can disappeared again.

He really liked his 599 00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:38,719 being on too much. Yeah, I'm afraid of so here, 600 00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:43,599 look at me. Put this towel. Hey, is he gonna 601 00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:47,400 be okay? You know, I'm afraid. It's a kind of 602 00:36:47,559 --> 00:36:53,239 serious fear. Hey, this ladder are too hot for you? No?

Phil, Huh, you always said I 610 00:37:12,639 --> 00:37:16,119 gave the best shave in town. Hell, listen, Joe, you 611 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,199 it may be better not many. You can don't move. 612 00:37:21,559 --> 00:37:25,320 Razor is a very delicate instrument, you know, that, Joe, 613 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,400 Take it easy. I had one wrong move here. You 614 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,239 could kill a man in two seconds. Feel how sharp 615 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,039 that blade is against your throat? Oh? I keep my 616 00:37:36,159 --> 00:37:38,440 razor sharp. Fit that thing away for me. It wouldn't 617 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,639 move if I were you. What is this? You know 618 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,719 what it is? Phil, I'm not Jovin Shelley anymore. I'm 619 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,840 Joseph Vincent now. And Joseph Vincent doesn't remember how to 620 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,840 handle a razor anymore. You're crazy, not as crazy as 621 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,199 you thought I was. I thought it was Jovin Cilly 622 00:37:55,199 --> 00:37:58,880 who wanted me dead, But it was you. You feel 623 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,559 all along? Why what for? I swear I never meant 624 00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:04,920 to hurt you know, just to kill me? Mmmm? No, 625 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,880 If you don't tell me, why stopped? Look, I've bring 626 00:38:08,159 --> 00:38:12,599 only a small cut fill in another few seconds. Help yourself, Phil, 627 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:19,840 tell me who you are. I'm uh, I'm Phil mcleevy McLevy. 628 00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:23,960 I'm your housekeeper's son, Missus Mclevy's son. I don't believe you. 629 00:38:24,039 --> 00:38:25,920 She wouldn't do anything like this. She doesn't know anything 630 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,880 about it was or my idea? What idea? Stop it? Hey? Hey, 631 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,719 stop it? Will you look at the blood? I talk 632 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,280 or I'll kill you. Oh okay. When she told me 633 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,960 about those spells you had, I I figured it out. 634 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,920 She showed me a calendar you brought home once you 635 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,480 had the address of Mike's barbershop. Sir, so I came here. 636 00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:48,719 Why did you follow me? I thought, if you're trying 637 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,920 to kill yourself, nobody would ever think it was murder. 638 00:38:52,159 --> 00:38:54,519 Why what was in it for you? 639 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:55,519 Speaker 5: Well? 640 00:38:55,559 --> 00:38:59,119 Speaker 1: I know you're gonna leave my mother a lot of money. 641 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,000 You didn't have anybody else. And when she got it, 642 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,000 I get mine too. You would kill her next. Oh no, 643 00:39:08,199 --> 00:39:12,360 I swear it. You know something? So some people should 644 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,960 get bathroats cutting. Mister Vincent, all it right there? 645 00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 3: Help me, help me? 646 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: He just got the Kelvy lobing cell. You're okay. You 647 00:39:23,639 --> 00:39:32,599 just had a very close shave. They say that barber 648 00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:36,480 shop shaves are becoming a lost art, and if that's 649 00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:39,039 the kind of shade they're handing out these days, I 650 00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:43,159 can well understand. Of course, we hope the barbers in 651 00:39:43,199 --> 00:39:47,079 our audience aren't offended. Personally, we think there's only one 652 00:39:47,159 --> 00:39:50,480 thing more relaxing than an afternoon in a barber's chair, 653 00:39:51,199 --> 00:39:55,159 and that's the time spent listening to the radio Mystery Theater. 654 00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:02,280 She'll remember the story about the man in the barber 655 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,679 shop who was getting a fine straight razor shave while 656 00:40:05,679 --> 00:40:08,800 a very pretty blonde lady manicured his nails. He said 657 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,760 to her, you're the prettiest girl I've seen in years. 658 00:40:12,119 --> 00:40:15,880 How about a date tonight? She replied, why don't you 659 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:22,679 ask my husband? He's shaving you know that. Well, that's 660 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,679 not the purpose of the radio Mystery Theater anyway. We're 661 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,719 here to hand out chills and thrills, and we hope 662 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,519 you'll be back for more.
