Speaker 1: And now let's visit with our good friend, doctor Watson.
Speaker 1: I'm always expecting.
Speaker 2: Us good evening, mister Bartel Amy.
Speaker 1: Doctor, oh you have the old black ten dispatch box
Speaker 1: out again.
Speaker 2: Yes, my boy, I've just been refreshing my memory on
Speaker 2: one or two points in connections tonight story. Draw a perchair.
Speaker 2: Thanks the tobacco's and the jar beside you.
Speaker 1: Thanks doctor. You know I'm particularly excited about hearing your
Speaker 1: story tonight. Last week you told us that Sherlock holmes
Speaker 1: brother Microft Holmes.
Speaker 2: Took part in the advantage.
Speaker 3: That's quite right, mister bartell.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know mister Holmes had a brother. I
Speaker 1: wish you'd tell me something about it.
Speaker 2: Well, Microft was seven years older than Charlotte, but the
Speaker 2: difference between them was amazing. While Holmes was lean and
Speaker 2: consumed with a burning energy, his elder brother was fat
Speaker 2: and lazy. And yet Holmes has often told me that
Speaker 2: Microft was his superior in passive observation and deduction.
Speaker 1: Well, now that you've thoroughly whited my appetite, doctor, how's
Speaker 1: about it?
Speaker 2: Very well, my boy, I suppose this story really began
Speaker 2: in Microft Holmes's room at the Foreign Office in London.
Speaker 2: Although I've said he was a lazy man, he did
Speaker 2: hold a position of considerable importance. In fact, you may
Speaker 2: remember that on more than one occasion Holmes has said
Speaker 2: Micraft is the British government. But do get back to
Speaker 2: my story. So on a June morning in nineteen hundred
Speaker 2: and twelve, just for the First World War, but the
Speaker 2: young man in the Foreign Office named Guy Travers stood
Speaker 2: talking to Microft Holmes, who sat sprawled in an armchair
Speaker 2: before him, his feet resting on another chair, his cupped
Speaker 2: hands cradling his ample scup.
Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, I say, mister Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep,
Speaker 4: have you, sir?
Speaker 5: No, travelers, I'm not asleep. I'm just waiting for you
Speaker 5: to get to the point.
Speaker 4: Well, sir, the point is that I'm on the track
Speaker 4: of a most elusive female spy. Dear me, how exhausting.
Speaker 4: She's dangerous, sir, very dangerous. She's not only a collective
Speaker 4: of information, but a sort of central clearinghouse of military seak.
Speaker 5: It's as well you seem to be a little young, Travis,
Speaker 5: to be on such a case.
Speaker 4: I asked for the assignment, sir.
Speaker 5: Why female spies aren't as glamorous as they sound.
Speaker 4: You know, no one knows that better than I do, sir.
Speaker 4: You see, my brother got mixed up with this girl
Speaker 4: two years ago who was cashier from his regiment and
Speaker 4: committed suicide.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Travis.
Speaker 5: Tell me what you found out about her. You say
Speaker 5: you've beat on her track.
Speaker 4: I have traced her to a number of seaside towns,
Speaker 4: but she keeps slipping through my fingers.
Speaker 3: Have you a list of the towns?
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, here you are no, no, no, you read
Speaker 4: them to me.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 4: I first got on a track at Torquay. From there
Speaker 4: I trailed a Weymouth, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Wagner, Worthing Hove, Brighton,
Speaker 4: and I.
Speaker 5: Trust you drew the obvious.
Speaker 4: Conclusion I think I did, sir. Several of those towns
Speaker 4: are naval basis.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, The list you just read me is
Speaker 5: a recognized theatrical circuit.
Speaker 4: Oh, I never thought of that.
Speaker 5: The simplest way to track down your spy is to
Speaker 5: find whether she was appearing in either a play or
Speaker 5: variety act in all of the towns on the dates
Speaker 5: covered by your inquiries.
Speaker 4: Yes, mister Holmes, I'll do that at once and then
Speaker 4: I'll report back to you.
Speaker 5: Oh very well, if you must close the door quietly.
Speaker 4: Won't you.
Speaker 6: I'm confoundedly sleepy, mister Holmes.
Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep again, have you?
Speaker 7: Sir?
Speaker 3: Oh it's you, travelers.
Speaker 2: Well, how did you find out.
Speaker 4: A great deal? Sir? The only theatrical show that was
Speaker 4: appearing at all of those towns was a magician's act
Speaker 4: called the Great Gandolpho.
Speaker 3: I trust you went and saw the performance.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, last night at Hastings, and the magician's assistant
Speaker 4: was a girl who looked exactly like the one I
Speaker 4: saw my brother with two years ago.
Speaker 3: Did you go backstage and talk to her?
Speaker 4: Yes, sir. But it's a funny thing. For though she
Speaker 4: looked exactly like the other girl, I swear she's in
Speaker 4: the same one. This girl seemed utterly charming and sincere
Speaker 4: when she told me she had never heard of my brother.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 5: That's the danger of putting you, young fellows on.
Speaker 3: A case of this kind.
Speaker 5: A beautiful woman and a good actress can fool you
Speaker 5: nine times out of ten.
Speaker 3: What's your next move, travelers.
Speaker 4: Well, sir, I was hoping preps. Perhaps you might come
Speaker 4: down with me and see the act it's playing at
Speaker 4: Eastbourne tomorrow. It's not very faster, stir.
Speaker 5: My twenty stone, leave the comforts of my office and
Speaker 5: club to track a spy. No, my boy, However, your
Speaker 5: mention of Eastbourne gives me an idea. Yes, sir, my
Speaker 5: young brother Sherlock is living on a bee farm a
Speaker 5: few miles outside Eastbourne.
Speaker 3: He might help you.
Speaker 4: He's a great detective, isn't he, Sir?
Speaker 5: I have never regarded him as one, though I will
Speaker 5: admit that for a man with such a shocking excess
Speaker 5: of physical energy, he possesses a relatively superior mind.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, go and ask Sherlock thank you, sir.
Speaker 5: I will tell him that if he can't solve the case,
Speaker 5: I'll do it for him.
Speaker 4: And without leaving London. And so, mister Holmes, I did
Speaker 4: at your brother suggested, and came down here to Eastbourne
Speaker 4: to tell you about the King.
Speaker 3: I quite understand, mister Travels the interesting story it is too,
Speaker 3: my boy.
Speaker 2: I'm certainly glad sad that I happen to be staying
Speaker 2: down here with your homes. You will handle the case, of.
Speaker 3: Course, I'm undecided, old fellow. The problem presents some interesting
Speaker 3: possibilities and get my life here among the bees has
Speaker 3: taken on a pleasant and soothing pattern. Oh I hate
Speaker 3: this step.
Speaker 2: Come, come, come, homes. It would be good for you
Speaker 2: to get away from your wretched bees for a few days.
Speaker 4: I forgot to tell you, mister Holmes, as I left
Speaker 4: your brother he told me that if you couldn't solve
Speaker 4: the case, he'd do it for you without leaving.
Speaker 3: London, Dear Old Micraft. He meant that as a challenge.
Speaker 3: Hand me the paper, will you, Watson? Thanks, o' chap.
Speaker 3: What are you looking for, amusing guide? Ah? Here it
Speaker 3: is Devonshire Theater, Eastbawn, twice nightive variety is six thirty
Speaker 3: and nine The Great Gandolfo, King of Magic.
Speaker 4: You mean you'll come to the theater with me tonight,
Speaker 4: mister Holmes.
Speaker 3: Certainly I can't allow my Craft's challenge to go unanswered.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure that doctor Watson will accompany us when
Speaker 3: I tell him. Miss Sissy Gitana is also appearing on
Speaker 3: the bill, singing an old favorite of his. There was
Speaker 3: I a white tin at the church, White tin at
Speaker 3: the church, Oh white at the church.
Speaker 8: Lord, that we did all certain me all at once.
Speaker 9: He sent me round the note. Here's a very note.
Speaker 8: If this is what he wrote, we can't get away
Speaker 8: to marry you today.
Speaker 7: My one wrote land.
Speaker 2: That's the most entertaining woman, Fritzy Gaitana, and that's good
Speaker 2: looking too.
Speaker 4: The greats next mister Howes.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm just studying the program.
Speaker 4: Haha.
Speaker 3: He's not exactly modest in his claims. Is he the
Speaker 3: great Gandolfo the world staggering illusionist presenting the Ceiling Cabinet Mystery,
Speaker 3: assisted by miss Floren Lassur Dear me, I'm very florid.
Speaker 2: I must say I love this old music hall flavor.
Speaker 2: I remember going to the palace here a few years ago,
Speaker 2: and she a perfectly charming girl who wore a white dress.
Speaker 2: Made it look like a little white rabbit. That dress
Speaker 2: did look rightly becoming. I must say I sent my
Speaker 2: card around the stage door with some flowers, of course, but.
Speaker 3: My maid's messa, sorry, old fellow that I'm afraid you
Speaker 3: will have to finish. The later is going out.
Speaker 4: There, he is. That's the great end offer by Joe.
Speaker 2: This assistants very attractive, isn't you.
Speaker 3: Listen, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7: It gives me great pleasure to be here before you tonight.
Speaker 10: I may say that the sailing cabinet mystery that I
Speaker 10: am about to present has entertained and perplexed half a
Speaker 10: dozen of the crowned kings of Europe together with their queen.
Speaker 7: Come, don't talk the much, get on with the check,
Speaker 7: and I.
Speaker 10: May say, and I'm hoping that you ladies and gentlemen
Speaker 10: will give me the same courtesy and attention that was
Speaker 10: given me by the royalty I have just mentioned. Now,
Speaker 10: before I present my illusion, I should like to ask
Speaker 10: for two volunteers from the audience who will come over.
Speaker 10: Here has tightly on the stage, so that I may
Speaker 10: be watching two volunteers.
Speaker 3: Please wait for mister Clever very well, mister Holmes, come
Speaker 3: on watch them.
Speaker 2: You mean that we're going up on the stage.
Speaker 3: Years it's a wonderful opportunity.
Speaker 10: Do I see two gentlemen rising splendid, Two gentlemen are
Speaker 10: coming up from the audience, Two gentlemen that I have
Speaker 10: never seen before. Watch the step please, that's it, over
Speaker 10: the footlights and on to the stage.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 7: And now, sir, have you ever seen me before?
Speaker 11: Never?
Speaker 10: And you, sir, don't be afraid to speak up, sir, I,
Speaker 10: Miss Less, please see that the gentlemen are seated. I
Speaker 10: think now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to watch
Speaker 10: me closely.
Speaker 7: You will observe that there is a wooden cabinet on
Speaker 7: the stage.
Speaker 10: There is also another cabinet of the same shape size
Speaker 10: hanging high above me, which you can pull.
Speaker 7: All see a glass of water, please, mister Sewer, I'll
Speaker 7: go on put a What did you say, sir?
Speaker 12: You you ain't got claw here.
Speaker 7: We will dispense with the glass of water.
Speaker 10: Now, my assistant, Miss Florine Lesur will step into this
Speaker 10: cabinet on the stage. I want you two gentlemen to
Speaker 10: watch very closely. Miss the Sewer is now lying inside.
Speaker 3: The cabinet, is she not?
Speaker 7: Yes, very well. I close the lid, so I lock
Speaker 7: it with these bombs. And now I ask.
Speaker 10: One of you gentlemen to attach this padlock to the box. You, sir,
Speaker 10: will you oblige me very well? I thank you, And now,
Speaker 10: ladies and gentlemen, before your eyes you have seen mister
Speaker 10: Sewer enter a cabinet on this stage.
Speaker 5: A cabinet that has.
Speaker 7: Been voted and padlocked. You can still see.
Speaker 10: The duplicate cabinet and above me by an attachment of
Speaker 10: wires and pulls. I now count a one, A two,
Speaker 10: A three, and fire this revolver.
Speaker 7: At the cabinet above me.
Speaker 10: Yeah, if you two gentlemen will kindly help me, we
Speaker 10: will lower the siling cabinet to the same. You will
Speaker 10: notice that this cabinet is also volted and padlocked. I
Speaker 10: will ask one of you two gentlemen to unvolt it.
Speaker 4: I thank you, sir, And to.
Speaker 10: This gentleman I shall end the key of the padlock
Speaker 10: kindly unlocked, sir, I thank you.
Speaker 7: And now if you will both raise the leader of
Speaker 7: the cabinet.
Speaker 10: And year, ladies and gentlemen, it is missus Florine Lassur.
Speaker 3: Thank you, lad.
Speaker 2: Why did we have to leave home having a one
Speaker 2: who does?
Speaker 3: Sorry to beg you allway about some of this work
Speaker 3: to be done.
Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, if you want to go backstage, I'll introduce
Speaker 4: you to miss La sir.
Speaker 3: Oh, before we do that, mister Travis, there's one important
Speaker 3: fact I want to know. What is it?
Speaker 2: Sir?
Speaker 3: I presume you have a dossier of the available facts
Speaker 3: concerning the spy.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, everything that we've been able to find out.
Speaker 3: Among the evidence. Do you buy any chance have any
Speaker 3: finer print records?
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I do spend it.
Speaker 3: Then let's go it once to the nearest police station
Speaker 3: and compare the finer prints on this glass with those
Speaker 3: in your possession.
Speaker 2: Where did you get that glass home?
Speaker 3: You remember that miss La Seur before she entered that
Speaker 3: cabinet on the stage handed gandal for a glass of water.
Speaker 2: You mean that for glass?
Speaker 3: Why else should I be carrying a drinking glass with me?
Speaker 3: Old Chappin.
Speaker 4: Very neat, mister Holmes, and right under the nose of
Speaker 4: a magician too.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not exactly inept at the practice of a
Speaker 3: leisure domain myself, mister Travers. Will come on, let's have
Speaker 3: a talk with that local finger and expert job, mister Holmes.
Speaker 11: A fingerprints on this glass you brought me are not
Speaker 11: the same as the one.
Speaker 4: Shown in this record?
Speaker 3: Yeare positive?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, sir, Just as I thought. I'm much obliged to you.
Speaker 3: Always glad to have a gentleman like you, mister Jane,
Speaker 3: Thank you and good night. Come on, Travers Watson.
Speaker 2: We should explain what you're up to home, So do.
Speaker 4: I, sir. I'm completely in the dark.
Speaker 3: Surely it's obvious. The only way Gandalfo's pick could be
Speaker 3: done is by using twin girls dressed identically, of course,
Speaker 3: one in the cabinet on the stage and the other
Speaker 3: in the cabinet hanging from the ceiling. I don't know
Speaker 3: whether you've noticed it, Watson, that there were some small
Speaker 3: holes drilled around the base of the box, undoubtedly to
Speaker 3: enable its occupant to breathe by George.
Speaker 4: Of course, that would explain why the girl I spoke
Speaker 4: to didn't seem to know me or my brother when
Speaker 4: I spoke of.
Speaker 3: Him exactly, And in any case, how bad I could
Speaker 3: a spy hide herself from a role where her employer,
Speaker 3: a magician, must, by the very nature of her trick
Speaker 3: and deny her existence. The question is which girl is
Speaker 3: the spy? This fingerprint test has given us the answer.
Speaker 2: You mean, it isn't the girl on the stage, the
Speaker 2: one who assisted Gandalfo.
Speaker 3: It certainly is not all for your spy will be
Speaker 3: in the cabinet, suspend it high above the stage of
Speaker 3: the Defenshure Theater at nine o'clock this evening, But this
Speaker 3: time we will watch the performance from the audience.
Speaker 10: Now watch me closely, ladies and gentlemen, there is no
Speaker 10: deception one A two.
Speaker 5: A three.
Speaker 7: And now if.
Speaker 10: You two gentlemen will currently help me, we will untie
Speaker 10: the ropes and lower the sailing cabinet to the stage.
Speaker 2: Homes. We must never get away.
Speaker 3: Don't worry, old jab to keep your eyes skined. You
Speaker 3: may have a surprise for us.
Speaker 10: Will now ask one of you, too, gentlemen, to unbolt
Speaker 10: the cabinet.
Speaker 2: I thank you, sir.
Speaker 3: And now if this.
Speaker 10: Gentleman will take the key and unlock the padlock, I
Speaker 10: thank you, sir. And now if you will both raise
Speaker 10: the lid of the cabinet, I thank you. And he here,
Speaker 10: ladies and gentlemen, is miss Florine Lassur.
Speaker 7: Mister Sawer.
Speaker 10: Step out, please, mister Sawer, drink the come on.
Speaker 4: Watching, Just get up on.
Speaker 2: The stage right your home.
Speaker 3: What happens?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 7: It's mister La Sawer. She's been injured.
Speaker 3: I'm a doctor.
Speaker 2: Let me look at her.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid she's beyond the health of doctors. Watson. Look
Speaker 3: at that bullet wound in my head. She has been murdered.
Speaker 1: We'll hear the rest of Dr Watson's story in just
Speaker 1: a few seconds. So I'm just gonna make a very
Speaker 1: quick suggestion. If you like good food, who doesn't, you'll
Speaker 1: find that good food always tastes better when accompanied by
Speaker 1: a good glass of Petree wine. And Petrie makes wonderful
Speaker 1: meal time wines. If you like a red wine, you know,
Speaker 1: to go with any meat or meat dish, you really
Speaker 1: like Petrie California Burgundy. And if you prefer a white
Speaker 1: wine to go with chicken or fish, you couldn't ask
Speaker 1: for a better one than Petrie California So Turned. Remember
Speaker 1: those two wines, huh, Petri Burgundy and Petree So Turned.
Speaker 1: They're Petrie wines, so you know they're good. And now
Speaker 1: back to Doctor Watson and tonight's new Sherlock Holmes Adventure,
Speaker 1: The Great Gundolpho.
Speaker 4: What happened next? Doctor?
Speaker 1: You just got to the part where you and Sherlock Holmes,
Speaker 1: on the stage of a vaudeville theater were examining the
Speaker 1: dead body of one of the Great Gandolfo's assistant boy.
Speaker 2: As you can imagine, the excitement was intense. The local
Speaker 2: police was soon at the theater, and the obstinate charge
Speaker 2: of certain Sergeant Buff Can you take a very great
Speaker 2: personal dislike to show up home.
Speaker 11: The great Sherlock Holmes comes out of retirement to teach
Speaker 11: our police for us how to handle.
Speaker 3: The case such Buffia being ridiculous. I'm not trying to
Speaker 3: teach the police anything. You follow your own line of investigation,
Speaker 3: and I'll follow mine.
Speaker 11: And supposing I say I don't want private detectives poke
Speaker 11: on their nose into a.
Speaker 3: Police and lesident, then my good man, I shall report
Speaker 3: your conduct to the local chief of police and obtain
Speaker 3: the necessary permissioner.
Speaker 11: No need to get up with you about it, mister Owenes.
Speaker 11: But too many cooks spoil lebros.
Speaker 3: You know of an extremely profound remark, Sergeant, And now,
Speaker 3: if you'll excuse me, I've work.
Speaker 11: To do, and so have I and we'll see who
Speaker 11: gets to the bottom of this. First, I'm going to
Speaker 11: condolve those lesson room homes.
Speaker 2: I'm worried about the dead girl's trinsister be looking for everywhere.
Speaker 2: No one seems to see her since the tragedy.
Speaker 3: My dear Chap, you would hardly expect her to reveal
Speaker 3: the secret of the cabinet tricked my expose the fact
Speaker 3: that the dead girl had a twin.
Speaker 2: I never thought of that, but he saw there on
Speaker 2: the stage when the trick started. Seems to me that
Speaker 2: she's in great danger.
Speaker 3: She is in very great danger. Don't worry. I had
Speaker 3: taken the precaution of having her guarded. Oh, I'll explain
Speaker 3: that to you later. In the meantime, we have to
Speaker 3: work class. It appears that Sergeant buff is out to
Speaker 3: try and show me up by solving the case first.
Speaker 3: That makes the second challenge I perceived today. Well, mister Arms,
Speaker 3: and how are you getting the last brended?
Speaker 1: With?
Speaker 3: Thanks? Don't you beaten? I don't mind admitting it.
Speaker 11: I thought at first the one man it couldn't be
Speaker 11: was Gondalful because he was on the stage all the time.
Speaker 11: But then it seemed to me that he might have
Speaker 11: fired a live bullet when he shot at the box.
Speaker 3: On the ceiling.
Speaker 2: The angle from the stage wouldn't turn side of the
Speaker 2: bullet hole in the bottom of the box. Sergeant, that
Speaker 2: shot must have been fired from the audience below.
Speaker 11: Mister Elms, you know who did it, don't you?
Speaker 3: Yes, Sergeant I do. I wish you'd tell me, mister Olmes,
Speaker 3: it should be obvious. Sergeant, what's the new examine the corps?
Speaker 3: Please tell the sergeant, you're finding some.
Speaker 2: Girls lying on her back in the box. There was
Speaker 2: a small hole in the forehead and a large one
Speaker 2: in the nape.
Speaker 3: Of her neck, exactly. And since the point of entrance
Speaker 3: of a bullet is smaller than the point of exit,
Speaker 3: it proves that you must have been shot lying in
Speaker 3: the box from above. Once the box was in position
Speaker 3: over the audience. She could have been shot only from below. Therefore,
Speaker 3: the girl had already been killed when the box was
Speaker 3: hoisted to the ceiling. Jew.
Speaker 2: Yes, and only one person could have.
Speaker 3: Done that, only two. How do you figure that out?
Speaker 3: Mister Arms, The dead girl's sister had the same opportunity
Speaker 3: as the Great Gandolfo himself, of course he had.
Speaker 11: Now I see why you were having or watched, mister Elmes.
Speaker 11: If you'll excuse me saying so, sir, and begin to
Speaker 11: think it's a good thing you're on this case after Oh.
Speaker 3: That's very generous of you, sergeant. And now perhaps if
Speaker 3: you will do me the favor of keeping an eye
Speaker 3: on mister Gandolpho yourself, of course I will, sir. Where
Speaker 3: are we going home to the Jolly Fisherman Hotel to
Speaker 3: call on miss Lassur how do you know she's there?
Speaker 3: I just received a message from young Travers. He followed
Speaker 3: her on my instructions as she left the theater. Come on,
Speaker 3: old Chap, there's no time to be lost. Ah, there
Speaker 3: are tralors. Missus Lasur is still here, I trust.
Speaker 4: Yes, mister Holmes, he's up in her room.
Speaker 3: I wonder if you'd mind asking her to come down
Speaker 3: and see me. I'm sure that we can talk privately
Speaker 3: in the lounge over there.
Speaker 4: Right you are, mister Holmes, I'll go and get her.
Speaker 2: What are you going to say to mister sir Holmes?
Speaker 3: That depends on her attitude, Old Chap, come on, let's
Speaker 3: go into the lounge. Joy the lucky thing that you
Speaker 3: had her followed. It was an obvious precaution, Watson news here.
Speaker 3: I realized from the very nature of the cabinet trick
Speaker 3: that miss las Cur would have to leave the theater
Speaker 3: after escaping through the trap door below the cabinet that
Speaker 3: was on the stage before her twin sister descended from
Speaker 3: the cabinet that was suspended from the ceiling.
Speaker 2: And she doesn't older sister has been murdered.
Speaker 3: Huh. If she is innocent, she doesn't. And if she
Speaker 3: is innocent, then we'll know that our murderer is gamdalfol
Speaker 3: it comes.
Speaker 4: I've told mister Saw that you want to talk to
Speaker 4: her privately, mister Helms.
Speaker 8: If it's the act you want to talk about, mister Olmes,
Speaker 8: I've nothing to say.
Speaker 9: Magicians have a code of honor.
Speaker 3: You know, I quite appreciate that fact, Miss Ler sir,
Speaker 3: won't you sit down?
Speaker 9: What do you want with me?
Speaker 3: I have news for you, news of your twin sister.
Speaker 9: Mike, I haven't got a twin sister.
Speaker 2: My friend knows exactly how the cabinet trick is done.
Speaker 4: My dear young Linyth, Yes, you might as well tell
Speaker 4: the truth, missles sir.
Speaker 9: Well, all right then, so I have a twin sister.
Speaker 9: What of it? No crime in that?
Speaker 10: Is there?
Speaker 9: What you're getting at?
Speaker 3: I want you to believe that I'm here to help you.
Speaker 3: My dear, you are going to need help and courage.
Speaker 9: What are you getting at?
Speaker 12: Come on?
Speaker 3: Tell me? I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Speaker 3: Miss Lassur your sister is dead dead huh.
Speaker 9: I don't believe it.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid it's true. She was murdered.
Speaker 9: You're lying. This is a trick you're trying to make
Speaker 9: me give myself away.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to give it the truth. Your sister was
Speaker 3: found shot through the head when the cabinet was lowered
Speaker 3: to the stage to night.
Speaker 9: I still don't believe it.
Speaker 2: Why should my friend lie to you?
Speaker 3: How was your sister the last time you saw her
Speaker 3: for the convincement of the act?
Speaker 9: No different from any other time?
Speaker 3: Was responsible for superintending her entry into the cabinet, Gandolpho
Speaker 3: or me?
Speaker 8: She used to go into it before the performance, when
Speaker 8: the stage was dark and deserted.
Speaker 2: Did you help her enter the box to night?
Speaker 9: No, Gandolpho.
Speaker 3: Did you knew, of course, of your sister's activities. How
Speaker 3: do you mean that she was engaged in espionage?
Speaker 9: That's not true.
Speaker 3: Very well, mister san If you won't be honest with me,
Speaker 3: I'm afraid I'll have to tell you whever to the police.
Speaker 3: I think you'll find their methods are a little more
Speaker 3: crude than mine.
Speaker 4: All the police.
Speaker 9: Oh no, don't do do that, mister rolmes All. I
Speaker 9: got to tell you everything.
Speaker 12: Gandolphe's got me so frightened of him.
Speaker 9: I was lying to you. I knew that my sister
Speaker 9: was working for him.
Speaker 12: I tried to stop her, but she loved money, and
Speaker 12: Gandolpho gave up plenty of that.
Speaker 8: They had a row before the show tonight. She knew
Speaker 8: you were on the stage at the first performance, mister Holmes.
Speaker 12: Gandolfhold spotted you too because she was frightened, said she
Speaker 12: knew you'd catch and she.
