Speaker 1: This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
and through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
Speaker 2: Petrie Wine brings.
Speaker 1: You as a rat Bone and Nigel Bruce and the
new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family
that took time to bring you good wine. Invites you
to spend the next half hour listening to doctor Watson
tell us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend,
that master Detective Sherlock Holmes, and say, let me tell
you something I found out just the other day. Steaks
are really back again. Good thick, juicy Porterhouse steaks. That's
for me, A thick, tender steak on the rare side,
together with a glass of Petrie California Burgundy.
Speaker 2: You know, Patrick Burgundy is a perfect meal.
Speaker 1: Time wine and with meat or any meat dish, It's
the very last word in good eating. Honestly, when you
taste the wonderful flavor of that rich red Petri Burgundy,
you're tasting one swell example of the art of wine making.
Speaker 2: It's full flavored and just about.
Speaker 1: The most delicious wine that ever poured from a bottle.
Try it the next time you have steak or chops,
or the next time you have hamburger or pot roast.
Believe me, Petri Burgundy is the best friend a good
meal ever had. And now let's look in on our
good friend and host, doctor Watson.
Speaker 3: Come he come here.
Speaker 4: There you are, mister boutelling doctor, just in time to
join him in a cup of coffee.
Speaker 3: Grow up your cheery, young filmlad.
Speaker 2: Thank you. That's it well doctor.
Speaker 1: You told us last week that tonight's new Sherlock Holmes
Adventure takes us to the South of France.
Speaker 4: That's right, the South of France and the nineteen hundred,
a beautiful playground, bordered by the bluest of blue seas,
and populated with an extraordinary cross section of cosmopolitan europe
rich man, poor man, beggar, man thief, all of them
attracted by that riviera paradise, all of them drawn by
the magical spell of a small white ball spinning round
the rim of a rolet wheel.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me that you and the great Sherlock Horns
were there on a gambling spray.
Speaker 3: We were not, mister Bartow.
Speaker 4: At the time my story begins we just can kill
an extremely delicate mission, A mission I may say that
h concerned the safety and good name of a.
Speaker 3: Very prominent member of the royal family.
Speaker 2: Say doctor, you don't mean one.
Speaker 3: Story at times, mister Bartow.
Speaker 4: In any event, my boy, I'm afraid that's the case
about which my lips are sealed for all time. But
to return to tonight's adventure, one June evening, I preceded
Holmes to accompany me to the gambling casino at Fragus,
not far from Cannes, where we were staying. It wasn't
quite as fashionable as axino at Monte Carlo, but as
I intended to do a little modest gambling myself, it
seemed an establishment.
Speaker 3: More suited to my means. As we stood.
Speaker 4: There at the green bays covered tables, the chatter voices
and the melodic chanting of the coupiers as they called
the results of each tin of the wheel formed a
background to a quiet conversation that Holmes and.
Speaker 3: I were heavy.
Speaker 2: I see very fast lost ten Watson number ten must
come up soon when I cut your losses. Offer on comfort,
a stove with me on.
Speaker 4: The wall, just a big wing, A couple more bets Homes,
I have a big ten is bound to come up
in a watson.
Speaker 2: I believe the blood of a gambler crosses through your veins.
Speaker 4: No harm in taking a little flatdow once in a while.
Speaker 3: Why don't you risk a few francs?
Speaker 2: Oh? Thanks you, my dear chap. The lore of averages
convinces me that my money is safer in my pockets.
In any case, I'm a little dubious as to the
integrity of this particular casino.
Speaker 3: What made you say that?
Speaker 2: Well, you will observe that this roulette wheel has a
double zero. Most continental wheels have only a single one,
but indicate that this house is extremely concerned with its percentage.
Speaker 4: Gonna fake Oh, just two more turns of the wheel, Homes,
and I'll take that walk with you.
Speaker 3: This is a Here's feeling.
Speaker 2: Why do you not on the other side.
Speaker 5: Of the taborite?
Speaker 2: I must always stand next to me? Hello, go trouble
up there.
Speaker 3: I've placed my bet, so so let's go and see
yes you?
Speaker 2: So, why do you play here beside me? I have
afraid I don't see any reason why I can't play
wherever I squish you. You've broken my luck ever since
you conser the table. Life done nothing but lose.
Speaker 3: Please to move.
Speaker 2: Away, I'll move away yourself.
Speaker 5: You don't like my company, Heinrich, Why do you not
stop now? You've already lost more than we can A.
Speaker 2: Part one more will suck. I can win it all
back if only the young men will move away? Why
should my husband? We've had a bad.
Speaker 4: One of not too We've last again, wat.
Speaker 2: You must stop now. I must stop.
Speaker 3: Inside because I've lost every sea.
Speaker 2: I hope you're set to spite.
Speaker 3: It's American.
Speaker 2: You're walking my luck in Woin. I hope that you
and your friend will be wool. I've never heard such
rubbish in my life. Were you listening to him, sir?
I heard his last few remarks, mister Gilbert, Roger Gilbert,
and this is my wife, Hella, how do you do?
My name is Holmes, and this is my friend, doctor Watts,
how do you do? How do you do?
Speaker 6: Didn't think his remarks were in a lot of places, Doctor,
I said.
Speaker 4: They did, missus Gilbert, I don't see how I can
possibly blame your husband for his run of bad luck.
Speaker 2: I didn't like to look on his face as he
left the table, though he's the only idea who he is.
His name is Schnaemer. He's staying at the same hotel
as we are. I've never spoken to him, but I've
heard it being Paige there.
Speaker 5: Well, you shouldn't gamble unless you can afford to Loo.
Speaker 2: I'm losing, Darling, and I can't afford it.
Speaker 6: Oh that I can let you have more money.
Speaker 3: You know that.
Speaker 2: No, Hell and I may have married an arrest, but
I'm not going to use her fortune to gamble with. Oh,
I lose my own money and then I'll quite last,
said Watson.
Speaker 4: Yes, Holmes, this time, I know that number ten is
going to come up.
Speaker 2: It's got or you know a piece I've lost again,
Donald telling this is my bad night.
Speaker 5: Why don't you stop?
Speaker 4: Daddy. Homes have made three hundred and fifty francs.
Speaker 2: On this throw of the wheel, old fellow. But as
you've lost some five hundred francs doing it, I can't
say that you're a prot.
Speaker 6: Stuck at me, mister Holmes, I can see that you're
no gambler.
Speaker 4: I'm afraid not, missus Gilbert and say at Homes or
you may not like Roulette. You've taken a good many
chances in your life with long odds against you too.
I'll never the left chap in the sense missus Gilbert
means that I am not a gambler.
Speaker 2: Where's the commotion over there.
Speaker 3: Around?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes, the wife of that man that said I ruined him.
Speaker 3: I caught your.
Speaker 2: Us the trouble. He's asking for doctor.
Speaker 3: Doctor, come along then?
Speaker 2: Will you excuse me? Beaus? Thank you excuse me that
i'm when I'm your doctor? But you so DNA What happened? Madam?
Speaker 3: It is my husband?
Speaker 2: Is he?
Speaker 5: I just found him lying out in the garden. Please
come with me at once, gentleman.
Speaker 2: Of course, will will madam?
Speaker 3: What seems to be the matter with him?
Speaker 5: Hey, doctor, I think she is dead. He's lying by
that tree. Doctor, please see if you can help him.
Speaker 2: Somebody else seems to be on the scene before us,
who use her? I am monsieur safe doctor at the casino.
Do any of you noticed poor man?
Speaker 5: I am his wife?
Speaker 2: Is he? Is he dead? I am afraid so, madam,
let me look at him.
Speaker 3: I'm a doctor.
Speaker 2: What's your husband gambling in tonight? Madam? Yeah?
Speaker 3: He was poor.
Speaker 2: He loves everything that we have.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid he's dead. Madame shot to the.
Speaker 2: Heart, so is hide Watson looks like it. Yeah, powder
burns on the shirt front. Revolver cluched in the right hand,
fingers in a natural position. The angle of the wound
settles it. Obviously self inflicted.
Speaker 3: I misuse you slipped out of casino.
Speaker 2: What's wrong with him? I'm afraid he's dead, mister Gilbert.
Speaker 5: Yes, he committed suicide. I hope, young man, that you
are satisfied.
Speaker 3: All night you brought me bad luck. He asked you
to move away from him.
Speaker 5: To change his luck, but no, you could not do.
Speaker 2: It all flush Naeman. I'm terribly sorry, but I really
don't see how you can blame me.
Speaker 5: I do blame you, and I also blame you, Monsieur
chevrin He.
Speaker 2: But what have I done? Madam?
Speaker 5: Why do you let a man lose all his money
at your tables? His life so cheap to you on
money is so important that you cannot close the tables
to somebody.
Speaker 2: Before he's going done. I am a sympathy for you
in your Tattit loss, but the casino can't be responsible.
If your husband could not afford to gamble, then he
should not come here. However, we to know the financial
limitations about customers. You said your husband lost everything you
had tonight, madam?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Everything?
Speaker 2: Then how do you account for the sheaf of banknotes
in his breast pocket?
Speaker 3: It must be several thousand francs?
Speaker 2: Then he wasn't ru and his suicide therefore cannot be
blamed on his losses at my tessina, Madam, how do
you count this money for us three months? I do
not understand.
Speaker 5: I really kept nothing from me. I know that he
had not so much money on him that he started tonight. Well,
why do you all look at me like that?
Speaker 3: Is it what you think?
Speaker 6: You think?
Speaker 2: That?
Speaker 3: Quite?
Speaker 2: You stainted?
Speaker 3: I've got her.
Speaker 2: Please just get into her room. You can take her
to my suite in a Tsino. No, let's take her
to the hotel. My wife will look after poor a woman.
She's had a dreadful shock. She can probably do with
another woman's companies that are considered it of you, mister Gilbert.
Where you staying at the hotel Creon, it's quite near here.
I get a cabin while I'm doing that. Watson, see
if you can revive her. William. They're gona take her
to the Hotel Creon. It kind of you missus Gilbert,
to let us bring the poor lady into your suite.
Speaker 6: But the least I can inspider what she said about
Roger bringing her husband bad luck.
Speaker 2: I'm sure she'll need your help when she wakes up,
Helen Is.
Speaker 4: I think you will find that you'll sleep for summers.
Speaker 3: I gave her a strong sedative.
Speaker 2: We were just about to have a drink. Gentlemen, do
you care to join us? Oh? Thank you, sir Gilbert.
Speaker 6: Roger was just telling me that quite a large summer
money was found on here shaman's body.
Speaker 2: Mister Holms, yes, Missus Gilbert, several thousand francs.
Speaker 3: Puzzling home.
Speaker 4: So why should a man commit suicide with so much
money on him?
Speaker 2: I think the answer is obvious. He didn't.
Speaker 3: What on earth do you mean?
Speaker 2: Well, the money was placed there after he had shot himself.
The banks were in his breast pocket, if you remember,
and that's the useful place to carry money though it
is the easiest pocket for someone to insert it without
disturbing the body. But why are should someone places money
on it after his suicide to prevent the casino from
getting a bad name. I've heard of it being done
on several similar occasions gives the impression that the unfortunate
victim had other motives than gambling losses to a country suicide.
Speaker 4: Scott, you mean that one of the casino employers found
the body lying there and slipped the money in his
burst pocket before we arrived on the sea.
Speaker 2: As you know, my dear, what's not a gambling man.
But I'll lay you one hundred to one. That is
what happened.
Speaker 3: Well that's a new one.
Speaker 2: Well, here are your drinks, gentlemen. Drink, say Helen. Mister
Holmes has given me a brain wave.
Speaker 6: Another one.
Speaker 2: What is it this time? Roger? Now I've been losing
very heavily tonight, Roger.
Speaker 6: I've told you if you need money, I'll be only
But I don't.
Speaker 2: I've got a scheme for making some. I'm going to
gamble again tonight after dinner.
Speaker 3: If I lose.
Speaker 2: Here's what I'll do. I'll stain my shirt front with ready,
walk out in the grounds, fire a shot, and lie
down as I'm dead. I wait for someone to come
along and stuff my pockets full of banknotes.
Speaker 3: Not a bad idea, mister Gilbert.
Speaker 2: I think it's a dying good one. What are you
saying mister Holmes, he it's a whimsical won at any rate.
Who knows you might even be successful? Roger, you're not
really going to do it. I'm sure perhaps I'll get
some of my losses back that way. Well, let's drink
to a gentleman. At least I may have been upon
an idea of making money very bad, My dear Watson,
you will have to work hard at your practice when
you get back to England. Your infallible system appears to
be extremely infallible.
Speaker 4: You have the fellow told me about it, said it's good,
and miss it's just a matter of doubling who's takes
each time.
Speaker 2: You'll look and then, my dear fellow, I've been studying
your system, but I can tell you a really infallible
way of making money at roulette.
Speaker 3: You care, what is it?
Speaker 2: Well, own the gambling house and operate the tables yourself.
The arts would be all in your favor. Would a
brilliant suggestion, not gambling to the night Watson near eleven
the clow.
Speaker 3: I think, so let's take a stroll around the other table.
Speaker 2: Other way, old fellow. The American mister Gilbert was losing
heavily again, tonight, he was, I wonder if.
Speaker 4: You'll try that trick that he threatened, the one with
a read ink shot in the night.
Speaker 2: I should be at all surprised. As a matter of interest,
I saw him leave the tables about half an hour
a girl.
Speaker 4: Here comes his wife on the arm of Mossu Chevret,
the director of the casino.
Speaker 2: Agree with believing Missus Gilbert Monsieur.
Speaker 5: Hello, mister Holmes, doctor Watson. Monsieur Chevay is giving me
a personally conducted.
Speaker 2: Tour of the casino. It's quite fascinating, and it is
quite fascinating for me to have so beautiful a woman
on my arm. My, myselle, I know that I am
the envy of all the men in the room. I
will stop flattering me so much. I'm not used to it.
Missus Gilbert, how is a rush? Naiman?
Speaker 6: She seems much better. She wakened an hour ago and
insisted on going back to her own room. I wanted
her to spend the night with us in our sweet
but you wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 4: You think I should drop in, and silfore I go
to bed at home.
Speaker 2: You have finished the temping fortnight, perhap stopped her?
Speaker 4: Perhaps about it Monsieur Chevy. I've had a bad run
at the tables.
Speaker 2: I am so sorry. Has anyone seen Roger? He left
the tables about half an hour ago, Missus Gilbert.
Speaker 3: After doing as I did and losing quite heavily.
Speaker 2: I lost again today.
Speaker 6: I wonder if you'll try that new system he was
talking about.
Speaker 2: We were just discussing that possibility ourselves, Missus Gilbert.
Speaker 4: Missus Gilbith, Missus gilpet's rush name.
Speaker 3: And you shouldn't have left charge tub.
Speaker 5: It is too late to worry for me here, doctor,
It is for Missus Gilbert now.
Speaker 3: That you should worry.
Speaker 2: What do you mean, madam Well, I went.
Speaker 5: Back just now to be a poor hurry tide. There
lying in the grass, I saw another body. I was
too shocked to go too close, but I am quite
sure that I recognized your husband, Missus Gilbert. Oh, doctor Watson,
she's ruined Roger's trick.
Speaker 3: You have taken fright and bolted.
Speaker 2: By the time we get blast, and maybe let's go
at once and find out, shall we, he hasn't gone.
Speaker 3: He's still lying now.
Speaker 6: It's the most convincing spectacle that reddink really does look
like blood.
Speaker 2: Yes, and blood sometimes looks like read ink. Mister Gibbert, Roger,
get up. The joke's spoiled, Roger.
Speaker 3: Get up.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid that's impossible, missus Gubbert, He's dead.
Speaker 1: Doctor Watson's story will be continued in just a second,
which is all the time. I need to tell you
that the easiest way I know to transform a simple
meal into a feast is to serve that meal together
with Petrie California so Turn. Petri So Turn is a
delicate white wines the perfect companion for.
Speaker 2: Chicken or turkey.
Speaker 1: Turkey, Yes, turkey and Petri So Turned.
Speaker 2: That's the heart any Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 1: Look, why not make this Thanksgiving dinner the best one
you ever had.
Speaker 2: Give it the air of a banquet. Serve it with
Petri so Turn.
Speaker 1: And when you buy that so Turn, or any wine
for your Thanksgiving dinner, whatever you do, look for the
letters P E, t R I, because a Patry wine
is always a good wine.
Speaker 2: Well, that is so. The young American's joke turned out
to be another tragedy.
Speaker 4: Yes, the poor fellow was lying there dead with a
bullet wound in the heart, the great spresh of blood
stating the whiteness of his shirt front.
Speaker 2: What happened next?
Speaker 4: The su Chevre, director of the casino, took the distort
widow away from the scene, while Holmes and I examined
the body closely. Within a few minutes we were joined
by Inspector Ganivet of the French police.
Speaker 3: As we stood there in.
Speaker 4: The moonlight, the sounds of music could be heard from
the casino.
Speaker 3: It was hard to.
Speaker 4: Believe that two men had died in that lovely garden
since the moon had risen.
Speaker 7: Monsieur Holmes, you and doctor Watson have concluded your examination. Yes,
Inspector gannav you favor me with your observations. You say
that you are certain that this is not enough the suicide.
I'm sure of, an inspector, look at the wound. The
bullet entered the body at a direct right angle, whereas.
Speaker 2: A self inflicted shot is always found of brick claim
years that is so.
Speaker 7: Then you suggest that this man was shot from above
as he lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
Speaker 2: I'm convinced of it. Why, Monsieur well for two reasons,
though it's impossible to be sure without elaborate retest. I'm
certain beneath those bloodstains are stains of red ink. Look
for your self, Inspector.
Speaker 7: Hmm, yes, indeed he does look like it.
Speaker 2: What is your other reason.
Speaker 7: For being certain that this man was shot as he
lay here pretending dead.
Speaker 2: I showed the bank notes, Watson, you are, inspector.
Speaker 4: We found them stuffed in his breast.
Speaker 7: Pocket, so that notes with a bullet hole through the
middle of them very illuminating. They tell me, gentlemen, how
many people knew.
Speaker 2: Of this, this little plot?
Speaker 7: You have told me about this plan of the dead
man's to pretend to be shot?
Speaker 2: Just three people, Inspector, Dr Watson, myself and missus Gilbert All.
Speaker 7: Then the answer is obvious. You and your friend are innocent.
It must be the wife who killed him. No one
else knew of the plan.
Speaker 4: I'm not too sure that flash name and the dead
German's widow was in the next room when Gilbert told
us about his plan. She might have heard that. I
could swear that she was asleep. I gave her a
very strong sleeping draft.
Speaker 7: From what you have told me of her husband's suicide,
she might easily have had a motive for murdering.
Speaker 2: Miss cam Come, come, gentlemen, surely gets obvious. Who murdered
mister Gilbert.
Speaker 3: Oh, monsieur, certainly one of the two windows.
Speaker 2: Since there seems to be some doubt in your minds,
I suggest we returned to the casino. I can promise
you the answer to your question within a very few minutes. Well,
Monsieur chev, now that we're all assembled in your office,
I shall sit down quart and let Inspector Gannaway conduct
his examination.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, Monsieur homes. No, you have handled the
case so far. Please to continue it to the end, Yester.
Speaker 2: Holmes, I should appreciate it. Be happy to car very well, gentlemen,
it won't take me long. Fashman, your her homes? And
what time did you leave your hotel tonight? Well?
Speaker 5: I do not know what time it was.
Speaker 2: Well what made you leave it?
Speaker 3: I could not sleep.
Speaker 5: I knew that they had taken poor Heinrich's body away,
but I felt that I must walk back there. It
was the last place I saw him alive.
Speaker 2: How close did you come to mister Gilbert's body when
you saw it lying back?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: Close enough to see who it was? Then I went
into the casino to tell his wife. I knew what
had happened.
Speaker 2: How did you know? You didn't come close to the body.
Speaker 5: I could tell by every line of the body as
it lay there.
Speaker 2: I could tell because.
Speaker 5: I knew that poor heinrichstat would not be avenged.
Speaker 2: Thank you, fash Man. That would be all you, my girl, Miss.
Speaker 7: Your Holmes, she has no alibi.
Speaker 2: Surely you take anaway. If I'm to conduct this investigation,
I must do it in my own.
Speaker 7: Way, bird old, Miss you Holmes, please continue, you.
Speaker 2: May go, Fashnaman, Missus Gilbert, Yes, mister Holmes, where were
you plied to? I'm meeting in the casino tonight? Just
before we discovered your husband's body. I left the hotel.
Speaker 6: I walked over here along the seafront.
Speaker 2: Can anyone verify that statement? I suppose not.
Speaker 6: I didn't meet anyone.
Speaker 2: That I knew. And what did you do when you
arrived at the casino?
Speaker 6: I played a little Chamande fair. A few months later,
Misie Chevn came over to the table and asked if
you had escort me over the club. Ten minutes after that,
we walked into you and doctor Watson.
Speaker 2: That is quite soon, Miss your Holmes, I can swear
to it. Thank you, Missus Gilbert. I'm sorry to distress you.
With these questions, you may go.
Speaker 6: I'll wait outside, mister Holmes, I must know what happened.
Speaker 2: Wait for me, then, madam, I shall join you in
a few minutes. And that's got your home. Hu well,
another suspect for the poor alibine, Hey gunibete.
Speaker 7: They must say, miss your Holmes, your methods puzzled me.
It seems to me that both those women should be watched.
Speaker 3: Yes, I agree with the inspector Holmes.
Speaker 2: He's our budding inspector. And I've asked two of your
playing clothes men to keep an eye on the ladies.
And now, Monsieur Chpree, I'd like to ask you a
few questions. Ask me any question you wish, Missie Holmes.
Thank you. You will agree either that it is the
custom of the casino to put money on the bodies
of suicides after their death, the impression that gambling and
gambling losses were not responsible for the tragedy, well, I
do not think.
Speaker 7: Come now, Chevre, I know that is a fact as
well as.
Speaker 2: You do exactly now on those rather grucive occasions, whose
responsibility is it to secrete the money yours? Or do
you entrust the matter to an underling? I do it myself.
I see did you place the money on her Shneman tonight? Yes, monsieur,
I did. And did you also perform the same service
on the body of mister Gilbert?
Speaker 3: Nor?
Speaker 2: I knew nothing of that death until the German lady
foul Schneman turning into the casino.
Speaker 7: Excuse me interrupting, monsieur a cross inspector, what is it?
I think that you are wasting time? It is obvious
that Madame Gilbert committed the crime. She knew of her
husband's plood, She had no alibi, and she had the
motive for it is not marriage itself, the greatest of
all motives for murder.
Speaker 2: Or, my dear inspector, how very sen ale, Madame Debert
did not kill her husband.
Speaker 4: I know it.
Speaker 2: And what is your opinion?
Speaker 3: What's it's a German woman? She had no alibi either,
and remember she was half mad with grief.
Speaker 2: Mister Chevrey, you say that you know missus Gilbert is
not guilty. How do you know? I was with her
myself at the time the murder was committed. Oh indeed,
how very interesting? And what time was the murder committed?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: It was it was our investigations have never established what
time the murder was committed, Monsieur Schvrey, I'm afraid you've
walked into my trap. You've given yourself away.
Speaker 3: Y it Scott Chevret.
Speaker 2: It was you, Chevrey.
Speaker 7: I have known you a good many years, and this
is going to be a hard thing to do.
Speaker 2: I am going to arrest you. Oh no, you're not jeevy,
but revolves do not be fighting data. I am not
going to shoot you, Jefrey. Why did you murder Roger
Gilbert tonight? Surely you know that too, miss your Holmes,
because I am in love with his wife. She's young,
beautiful and rich. It did not occur to me until
I saw the young fool lying there tonight, pretending to
be dead. In my profession, it is natural that I
should carry a revolver. What was simpler? Mister Dipper gave
me the perfect opportunity. I could not resist it to
turn that revolver. Chevrey, why are you also frightened?
Speaker 3: Truly?
Speaker 2: You know how I am going to use it this time?
I think so, monsieur. But it's a cowards way out.
What an unperceptive remark for such a perceptive man. No, No,
all my life I have been a gambler. I gambled
tonight for the highest takes of all and I lost. No, No,
I am not afraid to pay for my losses or reformers.
Speaker 4: An extraordinary dishermes I never suspected, and I already have
respected him from the beginning. Well, I wasn't the only
one who was stupid away the inspector ganiwe.
Speaker 3: Thought it was the wife.
Speaker 2: True, but it passing conclusion for a detective inspector to
arrive at.
Speaker 3: It seemed logical enough to me at the time.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, my dear Watson, cold logic should have
told you otherwise. Roger Gilbert had been losing Gibolt and
had planned this hoax. He obviously had no money on him.
Therefore the money was planted in his pocket by Chevret
after he shot him. No madyphone before before the bullet
hole through the banknotes provided that now, had the money
been put there innocently, Gilbert would have well, you know,
come back to life as soon as the person placing
it there had left. He would not have remained lying
on the ground for a murderer to find him.
Speaker 4: And Chevy must have bent over him as he lay
there placed the money in his breast pocket and then
fired precisely. Watson, I must say you solved it very neatly.
You've told Inspector Ganiway that you wanted.
Speaker 3: No credit in the case.
Speaker 2: Naturally, publicity would be unfavorable. If you remember, no one
is supposed to know that we're in the south of fraft.
Speaker 4: The inspector learned a few tips about detections tonight.
Speaker 2: As possible, Fellow, and I hope that you have learned
a few road gambling. How do you mean you're backing
the wrong color? A gambler is usually superstitious and superstition Well,
I should have told you what color to follow tonight.
Speaker 4: I still don't understand your homes I was playing number
ten exactly.
