Petrie Wine brings you That's a rough Phone 5 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:25.719 and Nigel Bruce and the new Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. 6 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.719 The Petrie family, the family that took time to bring 7 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.679 you good wine, invites you to listen to Doc Watson 8 00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.600 tell us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend, 9 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.200 that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. 10 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:39.280 And while you're settling back. 11 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.759 Comfortably in your chair, mind if I tell you about 12 00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.560 something I'd like you to share with me. It's a 13 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.439 glass of Petrie California's sherry. Of course, most people think 14 00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.280 of Petrie California's sherry as the one wine that's really 15 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.359 swell anytime. But personally, I like a glass of that 16 00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.399 Petrie sherry before dinner. You know, that's the time you're 17 00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.679 a little on edge, you've just finished your day's work 18 00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.399 and waiting for your dinner, and well, that's when you 19 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.159 want to lean back and take it easy. 20 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:05.040 Boy. 21 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.680 That's the time a glass of Petree sherry tastes like 22 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:09.799 something just too good to be true. 23 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:10.640 Try it. 24 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.519 Petree sherry is the perfect before dinner wine. 25 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.519 And incidentally, if you like your sherry dry, you know, 26 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.000 not sweet, then you'll find that Petree pale dry sherry 27 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:21.359 is just made for you. 28 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.120 The important thing. 29 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.400 Is the Petree label, because when it says Petree, it 30 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:37.319 always means good wine. And now for our weekly visit 31 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.280 with our good friend and host, doctor Watson. 32 00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:41.319 Good evening, doctor, good evening. 33 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.959 It's about hell late.

Mister Gibson, you. 195 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:07.800 Sho to give him my friends. 196 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.439 Like a doctor, he wants every symptom before he can 197 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:11.720 give his diagnosis. 198 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.000 Fire away, mister Holmes. What is it you want to know? 199 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:16.439 The truth? I can give it to you in very 200 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.839 few words. Inn with. I met my wife when I 201 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:19.720 was gold mining. 202 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:23.160 In brasbol H. Your wife was Brasian by birth, wasn't you? 203 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.079 A yes, doctor and very beautiful. 204 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.800 Well, to make a long story short, I fell in 205 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.680 love and married her and brought her to England. For 206 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.679 a few years, I realized that we had nothing, absolutely 207 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.960 nothing in common. And then I suppose this young governess, 208 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.360 Miss Dunbar, arrived on the scene. 209 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:38.360 That's right, mister Holmes. 210 00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.159 Well the story should be obvious to you from mayor 211 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.480 you will fell in love with his girl, I suppose her. 212 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.120 Who could help it that you suggest marriage to her? Yes, 213 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.320 though I knew that my wife would never divorce me 214 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.039 and I see then you made an utterly insincere proposition 215 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:53.679 to her. Now look here, mister Holmes, I came to 216 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.120 one a question of evans, not of morals. I'm not 217 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:57.399 asking for your criticism. 218 00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:59.159 It's only the young lady's sake. 219 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.600 Fifturn horses me to touch your case at all. Now 220 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.879 tell me, sir, what is your own opinion as to 221 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:06.799 Miss dunbars gilt. 222 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:08.960 It's very black against her. I can't deny that. 223 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.200 When exploration of the tragedy did come into my head, 224 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.159 mister Holmes, I give to you for what it's worth, 225 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.759 Ray continued Miss Gibson. My wife was bitterly jealous. She 226 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.559 was half crazy with him. Should have planned to murder 227 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.919 Miss Dunbar, or, we'll say, to threaten the girl with 228 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.679 the revolver and so frighten her into leading us. There 229 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.919 might have been a struggle in which the gun exploded 230 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.240 and gone off and shot my wife who was holding 231 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.120 it on. That possibility already occurred to me. It's the 232 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.120 only obvious alternative to deliberate murder. 233 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.919 Harbur Holmes was found on the floor the Governess's wardrobe. 234 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.240 Mister Gibson, I should like to examine our house. 235 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.879 On the scene of the murder as soon as possible safely. 236 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.279 Mister Holmes, certain Coventry, the local police is still down there. 237 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.279 He'll give you any help you may need, Excellent Watson. 238 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:51.159 Alf out of the time, Jable. We're catching the next 239 00:09:51.200 --> 00:10:12.120 past train to Winchester, so if. 240 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.200 I have to have someone else on the case, I'd 241 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:15.519 rather have you, mister Elmes. 242 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.320 The yard gets called in then then we local police 243 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.320 loses all credit for success, generally gets blamed for the failures. 244 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.480 Though I've heard that you play straight. I know pure, 245 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:28.320 no matter. It's all Sergeant Coventry. 246 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:30.559 If I can tear it out, I don't ask if 247 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.080 you even have my name engined, i'd. 248 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.000 Say some of you, I'm sure not. I know your friend, 249 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.600 doctor Watson can be trusted to follow. 250 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:38.320 We won't steal any of your thunder. 251 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.240 It's not friendly of you, doctor. But come on, gentlemen, 252 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.600 I'll packet down to the bridge. That's where we found 253 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.000 missus Gibson's body stuff far from the house here. 254 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.200 Well, I must say, mister Gibson has a beautiful state. 255 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.840 It must be sixty or seventy acres. 256 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.519 Or nearly twice that doctor the witch back at us. 257 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.759 There belongs to him too, mister Elmes, Yes, sugeant, there's 258 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:02.679 a question I'd like to ask you question I wouldn't 259 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.960 ask anyone else, simp please ask it. Don't you think 260 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.879 there might be a case against missus Gibson. I've been 261 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.639 considering that possibility that there, miss dunbarss a bit of 262 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.000 all right. He asked me wanted his wife out of 263 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.639 the way. And the pistol she was shot with was 264 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:17.120 his pistol? 265 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.440 You know? Was that factor proven? 266 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.639 Yes, doctor, it was one of a pair. 267 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:23.000 That he had. 268 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:24.879 One of a pair. Where's the other? 269 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.279 Well, mister Gibson has a lot of fire armsrey never 270 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.399 quite matched that particular pistol. 271 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:31.840 But the box was made for two. 272 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:33.559 Well, if it's one of a pair, surely you'd be 273 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:34.320 able to mention it. 274 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.840 Well, we have them more laid out at the house 275 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.080 if you want to look him over, and we'll do 276 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:42.159 that later. Ah, this I presume it is Tall Bridge. 277 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.559 That's right, sir, Good. Missus Gibson's body line right here 278 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:46.200 at the approach to. 279 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:47.960 The bridge, I see I gathered from the newspaper the 280 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.679 parts the shop was part of Vertic CLO's quarters. 281 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.600 Yes, sir, vertic clost in the right temple, wasn't it 282 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:52.320 just behind it? 283 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.399 So how did the body lie? Sergeant inspect doctor. No 284 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.720 trace of a struggle, no march, no weapon. The note 285 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.159 from miss Dunbar was clutched left hand, you said, yes, 286 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:03.879 so we could hardly open the things to get at it. 287 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.720 Ah, that's the greatest importance. 288 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.000 It excludes the idea that anyone could have placed the 289 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:12.360 note there after death in order to furnish a false clue. 290 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:16.799 What a little doctor just said, I will be a 291 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.360 toll bridge at nine o'clock and it was assigned Grace Dunbar. 292 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:20.799 It's done by admit writing. 293 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:21.440 Oh yes, sir. 294 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.720 What was her explanation? She will say nothing. Said she 295 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.279 was setting her defense for the trial. 296 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.679 Yes, it seems odd that missus Gibson was still touching 297 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.480 that note. Seems perfectly natural to me, Come now, fellow 298 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.399 arguing the thing out. Logically, the letter is genuine. It 299 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.279 was certainly received sometime before the tragedy. 300 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:37.960 Cnraco. 301 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.720 Why then, was the dead woman still clasping it in 302 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.919 her left hand? Why should she carry it so carefully 303 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.120 if she certainly didn't need to refer to a note 304 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:47.879 at all the interview doesn't. 305 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.600 Strike you as rather strange? 306 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:51.519 Well, are you put it that way? It does seem 307 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:52.559 a little peculiar. 308 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:58.159 Helloll gard Oh you mean that chip out of that 309 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:00.519 stone on the under side of the poaper of the bridge. 310 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:02.360 Sir, yes, I noticed it. 311 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.360 Didn't think nothing of it though. 312 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.120 Very large tip, yes, but it's been on recently work. 313 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.200 It's quite just yet it took some to do that, 314 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:20.000 and your king, Yes, a hard knock. 315 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.679 And in a curious place too, but it's fifteen deep 316 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:24.759 from where we found the body. 317 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.799 Mister Dout, Yeah, terms, I don't see how it could 318 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.879 have any connection with missus Gibson's murder. 319 00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.080 It hasn't, but it's the point worth noting. There were 320 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:33.399 no footprints, who says. 321 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.559 Sergeant and mister the ground was as odd as are 322 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.360 and it's been a very dry summon. We have no 323 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.320 range of how much obliged doing. 324 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:41.440 Now. 325 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:42.720 I think we'll get back to the house. 326 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.960 So I says, our show with the firearms, I sir, oh, who, 327 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.480 he says, A funny kind of a bloke, Brazilian. He 328 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.399 is Brasilia like this is Gibson's mister Elms. It's from 329 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.399 the same term that she does, as a matter of fact, 330 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.200 something very fishy about him, if you ask me. Now, 331 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:57.960 if you'll excuse me, gentlemen, I'm going to take a 332 00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.320 little stroll around the grounds you started. We are a 333 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:01.759 new train of thoughtless case, mister. 334 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.000 Dan, I'm the lighted sergeant. I get back to the house. 335 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.720 I see and these are all the firearms in mister 336 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.039 Gibson's possession. 337 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.120 He says, I except for the revolver that is missing 338 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.279 from the kuss. Yes, so, I say, I see him. 339 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.840 I have never seen such a collection of guns involvers 340 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:31.360 in my life. 341 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.639 Mister Gibson have many enemies, Senor. He always sleep with 342 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.480 a lauded pistol besides his bed. She's a man of 343 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.159 great violence. There have been times when all of us 344 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:42.279 were afraid of him. 345 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:46.320 Did you have this physical violence towards missus Gibson, No, Senor, 346 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:47.840 I cannot say that I have. 347 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.480 But I have heard him say many terrible things to her. 348 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:54.720 She would taunt her in front of we servants. I 349 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:57.159 have heard them do it many times. Thank you, sir, 350 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:01.360 I that will be all will into vain, Senor you Holmes. 351 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.000 I do think the case against miss Dunbar looks very black. 352 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.879 I should agree with you if it were not for 353 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.320 one fact, the finding of the revolver in her wardrobe. 354 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.559 So Holmes, that seems to me easy the strongest evidence 355 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:14.000 of all. 356 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.240 I think, not old Chef huh. We must look for 357 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:21.840 consistency where there is a want of it. We must 358 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:26.159 suspect deception.
