If you don't 78 00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:36,360 know how wonderful, I swear you've never tasted trout until 79 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,199 you've had Greg cook them. Well, they won't be at 80 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,600 their best tomorrow. I'm afraid brook trout is one dish 81 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,959 that's better cooked under rather rustic conditions. For my money, 82 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,920 the only proper way to cook them is in sizzling 83 00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:48,920 hot bacon grease in the skillet over an open campfire 84 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,360 under the pine tree, and that Harry, by one of 85 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,800 those happy coincidences, he was us directly into the night's adventure. 86 00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:57,680 Our story from the case book began just that way 87 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,040 on a certain star clustered evening last fall.

In any case, after scrambling 184 00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:53,000 down the mountainside on the dark, it's a great improvement. 185 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,399 Speaker 5: Well, the don's breaking now. 186 00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 4: Would have been better to have waited up there and 187 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,320 then carried her body down to the plane and flown 188 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,600 it into San Francisco. I can still see that poor 189 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,759 girl's face as she died. 190 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 5: Yes, it was torture. If only we'd packed some other food, 191 00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:09,240 some mustard, egg whites, anything to make an emetic to 192 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,480 stand there helpless and watch her die. 193 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 4: You're sure it was murdered. 194 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,759 Speaker 5: Oh, obviously suicides don't seek company, and it was no accident. 195 00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:19,440 I know the symptoms of strickland poisoning when I see them. 196 00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:21,639 Speaker 4: We must be on the outskirts of some town. Now. 197 00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:24,000 There are a few lights pointing here. I wonder where 198 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,919 the courthouse is, or even if they have one. 199 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,879 Speaker 5: If I know these hick towns, it isn't far from 200 00:11:27,879 --> 00:11:29,480 the outskirts to the hub of things. 201 00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 4: Greg, Could you make out anything of what that girl 202 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,879 was trying to say to you as she died? 203 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 5: Almost nothing. 204 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 4: The strickland spasms were racking her, and that combined with 205 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,279 erasthma made it very hard, dreadful way to die. I 206 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,559 just caught a few scattered words sounded like sport engineer tar. 207 00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:51,639 Does that make any possible sense to you? No, I 208 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,399 can't say, poor Gregton. Here we are the county courthouse 209 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,000 and the lights are on. Somebody's going to have quite 210 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,879 a shock to start their day with. I imagine murder 211 00:12:00,919 --> 00:12:02,399 is something of a rarity in these pots. 212 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 5: Oh, here's the Sheriff's office. 213 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:12,759 Speaker 4: Come on, Sandy, good morning, you fellows are early. What's 214 00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:13,519 on your mind? 215 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,879 Speaker 5: Are you the sheriff. 216 00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:18,039 Speaker 4: Cure, Sheriff Turner? What's on your mind? Shun, We've come 217 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,960 in to report a murder. If you shed murder some 218 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,840 that's what I did say. The girl was murdered last 219 00:12:23,879 --> 00:12:24,559 night in the mountains. 220 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 5: My friend and I saw it happened. 221 00:12:25,799 --> 00:12:28,799 Speaker 8: You short jake, come in here now now give me 222 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,559 the fact you too. 223 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: My friend and I were camping in the mountains last night. 224 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,399 A girl named Sylvia Eustace was lost and came to 225 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,039 our fire Kilva houst on, well if. 226 00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 5: She had dinner with us? 227 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 4: And half an hour later she swallowed what she thought 228 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,840 to be in a bedroom and died. 229 00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 5: Of Strickland poison. 230 00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 4: Who cooked this dinner? 231 00:12:44,879 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 5: I did, and the girls dined right afterwards. 232 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 4: Cake me.

We come into 238 00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:14,559 report a murder and then get booked for committing it 239 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,799 done these small towns for judges off at the other 240 00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:18,440 end of the county, and I can't even apply for 241 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:18,879 our wrint. 242 00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:19,879 Speaker 5: We've got to get out of here. 243 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,039 Speaker 4: There's only one way that girl could have been poisoned, 244 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,200 but we must get to San Francisco. Would have proved it, Sandy. 245 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,480 I tell you, we've got to get out of here. Well, 246 00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:30,720 there's Jake, the moronic jailer, sitting guard up there. I 247 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,039 don't think we can do much with him. 248 00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 5: No, No, he looks more in Edgar Bergen's line. Yet 249 00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:37,639 did you notice he was reading detective magazines. 250 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 4: He's may be vulnerable harm in trying, Jake, or what's 251 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:42,879 the idea of Greg? 252 00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:44,799 Speaker 5: Thank your que from me out there as it goes? 253 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 4: What is it? Fellas? My friend and I have been arguing, Jake? 254 00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:54,559 Or have you call yourself friends? Why they argue? I 255 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,000 can see that you have a terrific sense of human Jake, 256 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,759 hasn't he standy terrific? That was an extremely funny remark. 257 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,759 Some fellaws just come toward a natural like I'm sure 258 00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:08,960 it does. You must have your friends in constant stitches 259 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,240 on that. Oh, forget it, Jake. When I said my 260 00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:14,279 friend and I were arguing, what I meant was we 261 00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:16,960 were having a discussion about you. You see, Jake, I've 262 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,240 always prided myself on my ability to read character. Is 263 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,080 that a f you read? He leaves or something? No, 264 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,480 not exactly, but I can tell if a man smart 265 00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:27,240 the moment. 266 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 5: I look at it. 267 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 4: I sized you up as soon as you walked into 268 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,080 the Sheriff's office there, I said to my friend, is 269 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,879 a really smart guy who's going placer? 270 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 5: Didn't I say that? Standard? 271 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,039 Speaker 4: You certainly did. Well? What do you mean, uh? Say 272 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,039 you fellas like some breakfast settle our argument for us first, Jake? 273 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,080 Will you you've got a little more on the ball 274 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,120 than we have I have? Well, you pretty nice guys, 275 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,519 who uh would argue about me. 276 00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 5: Well, here's the way it went, Jake. 277 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 4: I noticed that you had a big stack of detective 278 00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:56,720 magazines over there, and you were reading them very serious. Oh, 279 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,519 read them all the time, read them all. I said 280 00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:02,159 to my friend, here, there's a really smart deputy sheriff 281 00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:04,679 who knows a lot about criminology and wants to go ahead. 282 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,519 All right, Sennis, your exact words, Gregg, what'd you say next? Well, Jake, 283 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,399 I knew you'd heard our story of the murder, and 284 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,039 I figured that you were the smart kind of a 285 00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:15,159 guy who would say to himself, nobody's going to be 286 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,879 such a dope as to walk in and report an 287 00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:19,519 undiscovered murder when he's the only suspect. 288 00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 5: So that though these guys didn't do. 289 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,919 Speaker 4: It, Yes, Jake, that's the clever kind of man my 290 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,600 friends thinks you will. Uh Uh what else did you 291 00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:31,159 figure out? Well, that you're smart enough after hearing our 292 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,320 evidence to know don well, how the murder has been 293 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,000 committed by slipping a red capsule of Strickman in among 294 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,600 her red capsules of the Federals. And then you'd say 295 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,279 to yourself, I'll bet that was done in San Francisco. 296 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,720 And that's where the case starts San Francisco. Well maybe 297 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,399 you're right, fellow. Ah, you're a clever man, Jake. I'd 298 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,159 never been able to figure that out without your help, Gregory. 299 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,759 That's amazing. Jake is certainly quick on the drawing. Oh 300 00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:58,399 the next fellas, Uh, did I figure anything else out? 301 00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 5: Yes? 302 00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:01,519 Speaker 4: Yes, I said that you follows the thing through logically 303 00:16:01,559 --> 00:16:03,799 and see where it might lead. I said that I'd 304 00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:06,039 make you say to yourself, this gregoryhood is kind of 305 00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:07,960 a protective too, and he knows his way around in 306 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,360 San Francisco, and if I let him go, he could 307 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,120 solve the case and give me the credit. Maybe the credit. Yeah, 308 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,919 then when the election comes around next spring, maybe i'd 309 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,759 have a pack at Sheriff Turner's job me the sheriff. Yes, 310 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,279 didn't I say that, Santus, Yes, you did? Would for? 311 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,240 Would you? Guys? My sure? Talk fast? 312 00:16:25,159 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 5: Was that the end of your argument? Nearly nearly? 313 00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 4: But you see, my friend here maintains that you're just 314 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,679 a dull, obedient deputy who takes his orders and then 315 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,240 follows them out. If he's right, you'll keep us here. 316 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,759 But if I'm right, you let us go before Sheriff 317 00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:40,559 Turner gets back at the girl's body. What'd he say? 318 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,639 I say, mister, I don't know how good of the 319 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,000 pectives they are, but you're sure once well, charge's character. 320 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 5: He's handy. 321 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 4: It's good to be back in San Francisco. Sure, But 322 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,000 I hope you realize Greg, that in the eyes of 323 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,519 the law were fugitives from justice. Yes, but the law 324 00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:12,119 appeared at us with very sleepy eyes this morning. I'm 325 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,480 afraid poor Jake won't be very popular. And I had 326 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,519 to do it that over the sheriff would have tried 327 00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:18,480 to pin the wrap on us. By the time we'd 328 00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:20,319 gotten clear, would have been too late to do any 329 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,359 real work at this end. I agree with you there 330 00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:24,559 just the same. I hope we never have to fly 331 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:26,079 back across the Sierras. 332 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 5: In a thunderstorm, as it was rather an exciting trip. 333 00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:29,920 In any case, it got us. 334 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,039 Speaker 4: Here in really fast time. 335 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,519 Speaker 5: Well, our first part of core is obvious that at 336 00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:35,759 the dead girl house. 337 00:17:35,519 --> 00:17:38,839 Speaker 4: Yeah lucky, she had those letters in her bag. What 338 00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:42,599 was the address against one sixteen Modern Street. It must 339 00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:46,640 be this next house and she didn't mention her appearance. Stanley, 340 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,359 I'm afraid this is liable to be a pretty harrowing interview. 341 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,400 I don't doubt it, but it's our logical starting point 342 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,640 in a search for her killer. Here we are an 343 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,279 imposing house. Yes, the Eustass family must be moneyed prior 344 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,799 to the news of her death has preceded us. Yes, 345 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,599 it's the maid stay out and the butler's quick. We 346 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,400 don't want anything unless you're applying as servants. Is this 347 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,119 miss Sylvia Eustace's home? Yes? 348 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 5: Me, we come in? Please know you well? 349 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 4: Bless my? Should you you Gregor your hood? 350 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:16,759 Speaker 5: Don't you? 351 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,279 Speaker 4: Yes? I am don't see a thing within your grass. 352 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,799 Speaker 5: I'm Sulga's ankle. Come in, won't you? Thank you? 353 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:22,319 Speaker 4: Missus? 354 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 5: This is my friend Anderson table. 355 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:24,799 Speaker 4: How do you do that? 356 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 2: You do? 357 00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:27,759 Speaker 4: Now? Where you want to see Sylvia? 358 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 5: You mean she's here? 359 00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:30,079 Speaker 6: Yes? 360 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 4: I think so, I'll go and see Greig. What on 361 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,799 fun is he talking about the girl's dad? We know it. 362 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 5: Either mister Eustace is definitely eccentric or he doesn't know 363 00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:39,720 his nieces left town. 364 00:18:39,839 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 4: Yes, Sylvia's just coming down the stairs. 365 00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:45,039 Speaker 5: She's doing what don't group so started holding me? 366 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 4: Boy? 367 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,319 Speaker 6: This she is Gregory Hood. How very nice to see you. 368 00:18:50,839 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 5: It's the same girl we left in Yosemite County. 369 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,519 Speaker 4: You'll hear the rest of Gregoryhood's story in just a second. 370 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,119 And right now is a swell time for me to 371 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,039 tell you about a red wine. It's really marvelous with 372 00:19:13,079 --> 00:19:17,640 any kind of meat or meat dish. It's Petrie California Burgundy. 373 00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:22,599 Petri Burgundy is a rich red wine, hearty and full flate, 374 00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:26,400 a wine that can transform an ordinary meal into a 375 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,680 real occasion. Tomorrow night, say, try serving a simple dish 376 00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:34,480 like hamburgers or a succulent beef stew with a glass 377 00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:38,759 of Petri Burgundy. Petri Burgundy is not only delicious itself, 378 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,279 but it makes everything you eat taste better. So if 379 00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:44,920 you've been wondering just how much a good wine can 380 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,680 do for a good dinner, you will find the answer 381 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,880 and a bottle of Petri Burgundy. Just make sure it 382 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,279 is Petri Burgundy, because all Petrie wines are good wine. Well, 383 00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:59,680 greg this is beginning to sound like a ghost story. 384 00:20:00,319 --> 00:20:02,680 You and Sandy see a girl die, You get thrown 385 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,240 into the clink for her murder. You escape, and then 386 00:20:05,279 --> 00:20:07,359 get back to San Francisco and walk into the girl 387 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,599 you're supposed to have murdered. Doesn't make sense to me. Well, 388 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,720 it didn't to us either, But of course the answer 389 00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:14,960 was obvious. The dead girl, whoever she was, had an 390 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,720 exact double. It didn't take us long to find out 391 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,759 who that double was. 392 00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:21,759 Speaker 6: Very start gentlemen. 393 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,279 Speaker 5: Frankly, I'm staggered, so am i, Miss Eustace. 394 00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 4: Do you have a twin sister? 395 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 6: No, but you mustn't let my cousin Hester.

Why, Greg, it doesn't make sense? I 450 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,720 think it might, Lieutenant, when you consider that the Eustace 451 00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:08,000 family is obviously wealthy, being the heiress might even be 452 00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:11,240 worth murder and impersonation, correct, sanity, I'm pretty certain that's 453 00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:13,000 the motive at the back of this mess.

Now? 510 00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:36,039 Speaker 4: The old uncle might be fooled he's half blind, and 511 00:25:36,079 --> 00:25:37,680 young doctor Dacon might be in cahoot. 512 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 5: True, So we seem to have. 513 00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:42,839 Speaker 4: Established only two positive differences between the girls. The cousin 514 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,680 Hester loved to quote Shakespeare, so did the girl in 515 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,000 the Mountain. Now, according to doctor Sangerfort cousin Hester was 516 00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:52,759 allergic to trout, but somehow he never checked Sylvia. Now 517 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,599 I begin to see why you're cooking a dinner brook trout. Yes, 518 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,039 then if she eats the trout and nothing happens, she's 519 00:25:58,079 --> 00:25:58,680 in the clear. 520 00:25:58,839 --> 00:25:59,839 Speaker 5: Well, I hope you're right. 521 00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 4: Rig Maybe I'm a fool for even letting you try it. 522 00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:05,720 I've got a nasty feeling that this whole business is 523 00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:09,799 one occasion when you've outsmarted yourself. At last, you're due 524 00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:14,000 to be hoist with your own or Gregory a skillet 525 00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:15,839 full of bacon gryes all over the floor. It blaze 526 00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:18,920 it with it. I've done myself in idiocy. Quick stand, 527 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,079 you've got one, missus. 528 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 9: Hit some warm water at once and muster what's wrong? 529 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,759 Speaker 5: Doctor Dacon. It's Sylvia. 530 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 4: She's just been poisoned. How are you feeling now. 531 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 9: Miss Eustace Week, mister Taylor. But I'm all who was 532 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,480 a miracle. I was here and able to apply the 533 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,880 remedy in time. She's been poisoned with strict enme. 534 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,039 Speaker 4: But this makes it worse than ever who want to 535 00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:49,319 poison them both? Well stand, I can give you the 536 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,000 answer now, Doctor Dakon, May I ask your fiancee a 537 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,640 few more questions, as few as possible, please very well, 538 00:26:54,839 --> 00:26:57,319 Miss Eustace, you took some a pedron of a while ago. 539 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 5: Didn't you, Yes, yes I do, and tell me in 540 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:00,839 the past. 541 00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 4: Few days did you have occasion to give your cousin 542 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,599 Hester any of your repridrooms now? 543 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 6: Did you mention it? Yes? 544 00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:11,319 Speaker 7: I did just before she left the lusmity. We were 545 00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:15,000 at a party. I'd forgotten to bring my capsules. I 546 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,039 had an attack and went to Hester's bag and took 547 00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:20,799 several hours. Later, when we were home, I refilled Hester's 548 00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:21,559 box for mine. 549 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,079 Speaker 5: But you didn't tell her about this? 550 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,039 Speaker 6: No, I didn't think about him. 551 00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 5: There's the answer. 552 00:27:26,279 --> 00:27:28,839 Speaker 4: Poisoner fedron had been placed in your box, the one 553 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,559 you left at home. Later, quite unwittingly, you refilled your 554 00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:35,519 cousin's box on your own, which contained the poison capsules. 555 00:27:35,759 --> 00:27:38,119 When Hester's poisoning was a mistake. The whole thing was 556 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,799 really aimed at this young lady. Only the plot backfire. 557 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,400 I see it now, But why did she pretend to 558 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,880 impersonate Miss Sylvia Euston. 559 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 5: That was all part of the pot. Sylvia's cousin Hester 560 00:27:47,759 --> 00:27:49,200 planned to kill this young lady. 561 00:27:49,519 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 4: Then returned with a perfect alibi for the murder, having 562 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,440 deliberately been in Yosemite at the time, and claimed to 563 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,519 be Miss Sylvia Eustace, saying that her cousin had been 564 00:27:58,559 --> 00:27:59,680 impersonating her. 565 00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 5: In her absence. 566 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 6: But mister Hood, I still find this hard to believe. 567 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,559 Speaker 4: Oh, it's logical, miss Ustas, It's a plausible pattern. What 568 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,039 made you see it so suddenly? Gregorate? Stan gave me 569 00:28:09,079 --> 00:28:13,119 the clue. You remember the girl's dying word standards? Yes, uh, 570 00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:17,359 sports engineered car, won't they? But I didn't spot it 571 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,920 until Stan started to rid me just now when he 572 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,160 said I was due to be hoist with my own petard. 573 00:28:22,759 --> 00:28:25,160 I remembered that Hester loved to quote Shakespeare and that 574 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,839 that speech came from Hamlet. Ortis the sport to have 575 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,839 the engineer hoist with his own petard. That's the Shakespearean 576 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,200 version of the biter bit. She was hoist with her 577 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,319 own patad and knew it. 578 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,599 Speaker 7: Mister hood, you're every that as wonderful as I heard 579 00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:43,559 you were, I can't thank you enough. 580 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,799 Speaker 4: You're very kind, Miss Eustace. Personally, I think I bungled 581 00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:49,519 the job. Badling not a bit. Come on, Sylvia, I 582 00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:50,920 think you should rest for a while. 583 00:28:50,759 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 7: All right, and perhaps after that you'll keep your promise 584 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,079 mister Hood and cook that meal. 585 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,759 Speaker 6: It's a day i'd like to find out if. 586 00:28:57,599 --> 00:29:01,079 Speaker 7: I do have analogy to book out n Gorebye. 587 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,039 Speaker 4: Well, Greg, this is all very well, but I'm afraid 588 00:29:04,039 --> 00:29:06,160 tomorrow we will have some loose ends to tie off. 589 00:29:06,319 --> 00:29:08,319 Speaker 5: You mean, a little talk with Sheriff Turner. 590 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 4: I certainly do. He's hopping mad Well. 591 00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:13,039 Speaker 5: Sandy's my attorney. He'll take care of it. 592 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 4: That'll be a pleasure. But I'm worried about his deputy, 593 00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:20,440 the gullible Jake. I'm afraid he'll be in very bad repute. Yes, yes, Sandy, 594 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,720 he might even be out. 595 00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:22,119 Speaker 5: Of a job. 596 00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:24,359 Speaker 4: I hope your conscience will bother you if he is. 597 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,920 It probably will, and I'll find him a job in 598 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,680 Hood and Company importers. I'd hate to destroy his faith 599 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:50,559 in human nature. Well, Greg, as usual, that story was 600 00:29:50,599 --> 00:29:53,759 a honey, you don't come to think of it. I'm 601 00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:56,599 not so bad at quoting Shakespeare myself. Why, Harry, I 602 00:29:56,599 --> 00:29:58,839 didn't know you were a student of the immortal Bard. 603 00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:02,079 You just see me do a balcony scene, and. 604 00:30:02,079 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 5: Personally, I'd rather sit in the orchest for myself, and. 605 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 4: I'll cut it out. Greg. Look, let's run through Shakespeare's 606 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,039 Romeo and Juliet. I'll be Romeo. If you think i'll 607 00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:13,920 play Juliet, You're a Romeo. You're crazy. Besides, I know 608 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,720 you too well. You mean well when Juliet says Romeo, Romeo, 609 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,480 wherefore art thou Romeo? Your ants will be getting a 610 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,079 bottle of Petrie wine. Can you think of a better answer? Look, 611 00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:30,000 if Shakespeare knew about Petri wine, he'd rave about it too. 612 00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:34,240 It's great, Greg, Well, it's got to be. The Petrick 613 00:30:34,319 --> 00:30:38,960 family has been making wine for generations. With the Petrie family. 614 00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:42,319 The growing of perfect sun ripened grapes and the art 615 00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:46,640 of turning those grapes into fragrant, delicious wines is a heritage. 616 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,680 It's a heritage hand it on down in the family 617 00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:53,759 from father to son, from father to son, and the 618 00:30:53,799 --> 00:30:56,559 skill of those generations of wine makers is evident in 619 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,119 every drop of Petrie wine. To the name Petrio on 620 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,640 a bottle of wine is more than a trademark. It's 621 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,440 the personal assurance of the Petrie family that Petree wine 622 00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:12,160 is always good wine. Well, but you'll discover that for yourself. 623 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,680 You'll learn that no matter what type wine you prefer, 624 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,519 you like it better when it's a Petrie wine, because 625 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,920 Petrie took time to bring you good wine. Well, Greg, 626 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,839 what story from your casebook you're going to tell us 627 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,880 next week? Next week, Harry, I'm going to tell you 628 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,160 an adventure that I call the Forgetful Murderer. It concerns 629 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,839 itself as one of the strangest theories of murders that 630 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:57,359 I've ever encountered. I'll tell you all about it next Monday, Harry. 631 00:31:58,279 --> 00:32:00,920 The Case Book of Gregory Hood has reatten by Dennis 632 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:05,319 Green and Anthony Boucher. Original music composed and played by 633 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,319 Dean posterpher Gail Gordon plays the part of Gregory Hood, 634 00:32:09,799 --> 00:32:21,640 and Sanderson Sailor is played by William Baker. The Petri 635 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,359 Wine Company of San Francisco, California invites you to tune 636 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,079 in again next week, same time, same station. The Case 637 00:32:29,119 --> 00:32:32,079 Book of Gregory Hood comes to you from our Hollywood Studio. 638 00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:40,359 This is Harry Bartel saying good night to the Petrie 639 00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:46,839 family for a solid hour of exciting mystery dramas. Listen 640 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,359 every Monday on most of these same stations at eight 641 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:54,200 o'clock to Michael Shane, followed immediately by the case books 642 00:32:54,319 --> 00:32:55,319 of Gregory Hood. 643 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 5: This is the mutual broadcasting system. 644 00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 3: Welcome back. 645 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 2: What I don't really understand is how the cousin would 646 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,640 hope to pass with the doctor fiance. 647 00:33:14,519 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 3: And I was a little sad. 648 00:33:16,039 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 2: By the ending because I liked that she was doing 649 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,440 all that Shakespeare quoting and stuff, and that's disappointed when 650 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,200 that type of person turns out to be a murderer. 651 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,039 But justice was done, even though the deputies sounded like 652 00:33:29,079 --> 00:33:32,039 he should have been voiced by Red Skelton. All right, 653 00:33:32,079 --> 00:33:35,440 Well on to some listener comments and feedback, and we 654 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:40,160 start with this from Jack, who says, Dear Adam, I 655 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,119 think you have one of the best lineups at the 656 00:33:43,119 --> 00:33:47,039 moment of any detective podcast. Johnny Doller, Gregory Hood, Nick Harter, 657 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,400 and the lineup are all top knock shows. I particularly 658 00:33:50,519 --> 00:33:53,839 enjoyed Gregory Hood because Boucher and Green really create the 659 00:33:53,839 --> 00:33:57,759 San Francisco atmosphere, probably because Boucher was from the city 660 00:33:57,799 --> 00:34:01,359 as a Bay Area boy, I really enjoy it. Thanks 661 00:34:01,359 --> 00:34:06,240 so much for your comment, Jack, And it's definitely an 662 00:34:06,279 --> 00:34:10,320 interesting program, one of the rare San Francisco programs, and 663 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,239 for a study in contrast, immediately after the Case Book 664 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,239 of Gregory Hood, we'll be bringing you Pat Novac for Hire, 665 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,880 which I guess maybe it's still San Francisco, but a 666 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,239 different part of the city because Richard Breen, who wrote 667 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:32,599 Pat Novak for Hire also spent many years in San Francisco. 668 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,800 Does bring me to another point. When I was doing 669 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,760 the last listener support Kim Hayne in August, I announced 670 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,599 that there would be two different programs that would be 671 00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:51,360 between The Case Book of Gregory Hood and Pat Novak 672 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,559 for Hire, but do man from Homicide and then Homicide okay, 673 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,400 and then at the very end of the season we 674 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:03,079 would be starting the Crime and Peter Chambers, Well, we 675 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:08,360 had something very fortunate happen in that we discovered act 676 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,400 three more Australian episodes of the Amazing Mister Malone that 677 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,840 I was not aware of when I made that announcement. 678 00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:20,639 Plus we discovered that having a wonderful crime really should 679 00:35:20,679 --> 00:35:24,639 be tied in to the Mister Malone series, and we 680 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,639 discovered a couple lost episodes at the Casebook of Gregory Hood, 681 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,039 which is to say. 682 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 3: Because I'm trying to time. 683 00:35:34,159 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 2: This so that we get four weeks where we have 684 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,840 Pat Novak for hire and Dragnet airing at the same time, 685 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,360 to recreate that experience for listeners who heard Jack Webb 686 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,360 doing Pat Novak on one station and then heard him 687 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,000 doing Joe Friday on another, these two very different roles. 688 00:35:55,159 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 3: We won't actually do those two. 689 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,559 Speaker 2: We won't do Man from Homicide after the Casebook of 690 00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:04,559 Gregory Hood, and we won't get to Crime and Peter 691 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,159 Chambers this season, but we'll take both of those programs off. 692 00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:11,239 I think those will all announce now. Those two will 693 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,000 be the first two programs, will do Crime and Peter 694 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,480 Chambers and then Man from Homicide out of the shoot 695 00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:23,039 when we start adding new programs in our sixth the season, 696 00:36:23,079 --> 00:36:27,760 which we'll start in November, and Homicide Okaine will actually 697 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,639 be heard on Saturday after Police Bloughter and before we 698 00:36:31,679 --> 00:36:36,920 get into police headquarters. To Jack's question or comment, I 699 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,079 appreciate it. I think this lineup is actually going to 700 00:36:40,159 --> 00:36:47,280 be stronger as things go on. Once we have the Saint, 701 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,559 we'll have Vincent Price as the Saint on Mondays, Philip 702 00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:58,079 Marlow on Wednesdays with Gerald Moore, Nick Carter with Lawn Clark, 703 00:36:58,679 --> 00:37:02,440 Johnny Dowler with Bob Bailey, and Dragnet with Jack Webb. 704 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,360 Of course we'll have something else on Tuesday, though that 705 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,880 will tend to rotate a little bit.
