1 00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to Howard Mcneerweek from Boise, Idaho. This is your host, 2 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,600 Adam Graham. Well, I continue my recording break and the 3 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,039 next six encores focus on an actor who has never 4 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,119 played the lead in any of our episodes. However, he 5 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:53,039 has made his presence felt, whether playing the perpetrator or 6 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,640 a suspect, the sidekick, or a supporting character. Many listeners 7 00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:02,119 eagerly await his appearances, and this week will be a 8 00:01:02,159 --> 00:01:06,879 special trait for them, as every episode includes a part 9 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,000 for Howard mcneir. While he is best known for playing 10 00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:15,400 Floyd the Barber on The Andy Griffiths Show and Doc 11 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:19,200 Adams on the radio version of Gun Smoke, I think 12 00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:23,519 it's appropriate this week to focus on his contribution to 13 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,280 detective programs. Today's program, along with each episode being presented, 14 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,879 was recorded many years ago, and he offers or information 15 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,040 in the episode are not valid unless reflected on our 16 00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:39,599 Great Detectives of Old Time Radio website.

Well, now it is 28 00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:36,039 time for this week's episode of the Adventures of Bill Lance. 29 00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:41,280 The original air date October twelfth, nineteen forty seven, and 30 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:51,879 the title is Death Wears a New Dress. 31 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:56,319 Speaker 2: The American Broadcasting Company challenges you to a startling puzzle 32 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:04,960 and crime The Adventures of Bill Lance starring Gerald Moore 33 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:19,879 with Alard mcneer's professor Ulysses Higgins. Hello, I'm Bill Lance. 34 00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:25,120 I'm primarily a composer, also a criminologist. F's it's more 35 00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:28,360 accurate to call me a student of human nature. You know. 36 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,159 I believe that crime is the result of a delinquent society, 37 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,199 that the criminal mind is a sick mind, and that 38 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,439 the symptoms of that sickness are always apparent in the 39 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:40,120 behavior of the criminal. Therefore, if you would expose a criminal, 40 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,199 look for fingerprints on the doorknob, but also look for 41 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,000 imprints on the human mind. In short, human emotions are 42 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:59,520 my clues. Oh yes, I also played a piano. You 43 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,560 can say a lot of things that way. Sometimes it's 44 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,719 an accompaniment to thinking, particularly when you're trying to unravel 45 00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:09,919 some of the tangles of human behavior, helping to bring 46 00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:12,319 some kind of order into the chaos which people seem 47 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,759 to create so easily. Why, for instance, when when everybody 48 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,560 was so curious, if not furious, about the new friend 49 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,199 and fashions, should death choose to wear a new dress? 50 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,800 Never can tell how swiftly a familiar human problem can 51 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,480 build into a tragic snarl of emotions. As a matter 52 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,759 of fact, even my friend, Professor Ulysses Higgins, seemed to 53 00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:39,120 be building himself up through a passionate fury. And I 54 00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:41,959 had all started and just because I felt like going 55 00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:43,319 a little work on my concerto. 56 00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:48,399 Speaker 3: M gCO two plus c O H two equals m 57 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,319 G O H two plus H no no no no 58 00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:53,519 no U. 59 00:04:53,519 --> 00:04:57,519 Speaker 2: C c L two. That's if I modulate into H 60 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,560 shop in this phrase. 61 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 3: But if you had cal some hydroxide to magnesium chloride, 62 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,480 you precipitate the magnesium. 63 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: As a hydrate. Maybe a progression of chords ending with 64 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,600 the diminished seven mg c L. 65 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: Two plus t A O H two equals mg. 66 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 4: Oh. 67 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,639 Speaker 2: Oh, you're speaking to me. 68 00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:20,439 Speaker 3: I'm merely trying to equate chemical compoigns in my mind. 69 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,079 What's left on my mind? 70 00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: But that's infernal noise noise, my dear professor. What strikes 71 00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:31,800 your tin ear as noise? Maybe heavenly music to a 72 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,879 more discriminating order. 73 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 3: Even if you're proposition with true your premises fault, you 74 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,319 cannot call that piano chinkering music. 75 00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 2: Touchet, let's argue the point. Huh he saved by the bell? 76 00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:53,600 Wouldn't dream of taking you away from your magnesium and hydrates? Hello? Oh, hello? 77 00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:55,439 Speaker 3: Do you remember? 78 00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: Maybe you didn't start by saying guess who's so?

Bruce Randolph. Bill, mister Randolph has been 361 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,200 a very good customer of mine for years. What I 362 00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:34,279 told you you should ever get out? I'm a dead duck. 363 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 3: Bill. Why don't you just give up and admits that 364 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,920 you made a mistake. Oh, I know what's on. 365 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,759 Speaker 2: Your mind, but there's nothing to it. 366 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,839 Speaker 3: And if you won't listen to me, we'll listen to 367 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,599 the others. Inspector Harland Henri Kincaid. 368 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,079 Speaker 2: I've listened to them. 369 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 3: Well I can't see I haven't tried. Would you mind 370 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,240 dropping me off here? 371 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 6: I have more important things to do. 372 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,839 Speaker 2: Okay, you listen. I wouldn't want to break your dates. 373 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,359 And anyway, you're not interested in what Missus Randolph may 374 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:10,720 have to say. 375 00:21:10,759 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 3: Missus Randolph, No, No, I'm not well, I'm second thought. 376 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,279 I guess I do have time after it. 377 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: Stop kidding, Professor. You know in the end, you always 378 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:34,799 come along for the ride. Uh, cozy little shack. Isn't 379 00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:37,039 it very pretty? This is very pretty? 380 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 3: I always did think that the twenty four rooms was 381 00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:40,599 I'm a love. 382 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 2: No, I don't know in a tin she could turned 383 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:49,440 his living room into a nice skating rink. Yes, oh, 384 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,880 missus Randolph, my name is Bill Lance. This is my friend, 385 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:53,839 Professor Higgins. 386 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 5: Oh was it something connected with the university? 387 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 3: No, I am not here in my official catactulus. 388 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,599 Speaker 5: But my busser said you had an appointment with me. 389 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,640 I don't remember making any sense. 390 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 2: Oh you didn't. Actually, I took the liberty of coming 391 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,519 here to ask you a few questions about a friend 392 00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:10,880 of mine, Oh, Joan Adams. 393 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 5: Joan Adams. I'm sorry, I don't understand. 394 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,279 Speaker 2: Well, she was a very close friend of your husband's. 395 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,440 That's that will identify her for you. 396 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 5: Who are you, mister Lenz? 397 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,319 Speaker 2: Don't you know Ulysses and missus Randolph. I thought you'd 398 00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:31,960 appreciate my coming to see you before the police do police, 399 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,519 mister Randolph was rather deeply involved with miss Adams. 400 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 5: Yes, I I'm aware of it. 401 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 2: Perhaps you don't realize how deeply. 402 00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 5: But what has that to do with the police. 403 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:50,039 Speaker 2: John Adams died yesterday afternoon. I'm sorry she was murdered. 404 00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:52,000 Your husband happened to be in her dressing room at 405 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,240 Anrie's yesterday afternoon. There was an argument. He left suddenly 406 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,440 and angrily, and almost immediately afterward, Joan collapsed. She died 407 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,160 of poison. Poison Bruce, I was the quarrel about how 408 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,240 far had he committed him going? 409 00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:07,599 Speaker 5: But he couldn't have done it. She took the poison 410 00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:09,200 herself or missus Randolph. 411 00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 2: I knew Joan Adams may have been foolish, but she 412 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,039 never ran away. What did she have to gain by 413 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,759 killing herself? But your husband was in a real jam. 414 00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:21,400 It wasn't very discreet. You know all our reason knew 415 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,319 about him and Joan. 416 00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 5: Mister Lance, I'm going to tell you something you don't know. 417 00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:28,920 I had luncheon with Joan Adams yesterday. 418 00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:29,559 Speaker 2: Please. 419 00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:34,519 Speaker 5: I've never had any illusions about my husband, but I 420 00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:39,519 love him, so I accepted his romantic indulgences. I've even 421 00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:42,720 felt sorry for some of the girls, especially when they 422 00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:46,160 took him too seriously. That's why I wanted to speak 423 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,759 to Joan Adams. Do you understand that. 424 00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:50,559 Speaker 2: Mister Lane, she took him too seriously? 425 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 5: Uh, I had to find out she laughed at me. 426 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,920 How good a young girl like that? I know what 427 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,119 a home means? How could she know how a wife feels? 428 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,480 How could she understand? You don't just give up everything 429 00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:11,640 that has meaning because of a whim. You think my 430 00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:15,400 husband killed her? No, mister Lance, I was the one 431 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,480 who had to get rid of her. 432 00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 2: Oh uh less violent waves of handling? That kind of 433 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,680 a situations is Randolph? 434 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 5: You told me the police would be coming here. 435 00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:26,319 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm quite willing to. 436 00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:30,279 Speaker 5: Tell them what I've told you. And now, mister Lance, 437 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:30,839 would you leave? 438 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: Please? 439 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 5: I assure you that I'll be here when the police arrives. 440 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,759 Speaker 2: Well, now I've seen everything, not a nerve in her body. 441 00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 3: Why she made me feel like she was doing us 442 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,000 a favor by confession? 443 00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 2: Quite a girl. Well somebody's got to stick around make 444 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,160 sure she doesn't change her mind. Uh huh, as I guess, Well, 445 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,279 goodbye there. We'll wait a minute. I've got to call 446 00:24:56,319 --> 00:24:58,400 Inspector Holland, and I've got to run and catch Randall 447 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,599 before he leaves his office. Why Randall, don't you think 448 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,799 you might like to know what's happening. 449 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 3: That's none of my mind to be a word about 450 00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:04,480 your date forget me? 451 00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 4: Oh no, no, Ulysses. 452 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,279 Speaker 2: I'll guarantee that you keep your date, even if I 453 00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:20,200 have to deliver Sondra to you personally. John Adams, No 454 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,079 afraid not. But let me give you the idea on you. 455 00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:27,000 I had him an other things, mister Randolph's bracelet. I 456 00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:30,279 thought you might want it. After all, didn't you bias 457 00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:33,160 for your wife's birthday? Where did you get this from Joan? 458 00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:39,400 After she died that she was poisoned? So because I 459 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,920 gave her that bracelet, you came here to blackmail me. Well, no, no, 460 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,880 that isn't why I came here. I just wanted to 461 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,000 tell you that your wife had luncheon with Joan yesterday. 462 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,519 She learned about the bracelet. They talked about you over 463 00:25:53,559 --> 00:25:56,519 a couple of drinks. I thought she'd like to know also, 464 00:25:56,559 --> 00:26:01,160 that your wife has just confessed that she murdered Joan Lance. 465 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,200 I'm a don't apologize, but I've always been able to 466 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,359 get away with it, always been able to go back home, 467 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,640 and until this time, this time I had lost my 468 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,839 head in Jones dressing room yesterday afternoon. Yes, yes, she's 469 00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:20,039 written me my wife, I went a little crazy. Oh 470 00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:22,480 so now you're confessing to the murder of John Adam. Yes, yes, 471 00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:26,119 of course, yeah, that's it. Well and Randolph, in that case, 472 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,519 i'd high tailed out to your house. 473 00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 6: The police are on their way now to pick up 474 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:44,240 your wife. 475 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,759 Speaker 3: Oh what did you do with the professor? 476 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,559 Speaker 2: Well, he didn't really need to stand you up. He was. 477 00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:56,079 He was delayed due to circumstances beyond his control. Oh, 478 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,559 we got on murdering. Was it really murdered? Tell you 479 00:26:59,559 --> 00:27:00,640 all about it on the way out. 480 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:01,799 Speaker 5: How are we going? 481 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 2: I promise Ulysses would take him up. We can always 482 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,039 get him later. 483 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 8: Well. 484 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 3: Well, well, missus Weston, I hope William has explained. 485 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 5: Oh, yes, he has, Professor Higgins your forgift. 486 00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 2: Well, it's very nice. 487 00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:27,559 Speaker 3: It's very nice. Bill. The Randolphs are in the living 488 00:27:27,599 --> 00:27:30,599 room with Inspector Harland. You won't be needing us any longer. 489 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 2: Keep your shirt on, old boy. We can all go 490 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,240 out together later. You don't mind her, you, Sandra, take 491 00:27:36,319 --> 00:27:43,799 us a minute or two. Come on, Inspector, it's quite 492 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,400 unnecessary to make my wife endure this any longer. 493 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 6: I've already told. 494 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,799 Speaker 10: You that I did it, and I don't see you. 495 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 2: It would prove you know it well, Lace just in 496 00:27:54,559 --> 00:27:57,519 time to solve the solution I got one. Might I 497 00:27:57,559 --> 00:28:00,000 read so many It's not like you to complain when business. 498 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,079 This is so good, inspector. But I think we can 499 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,559 set to us very quickly, Elli, mister Randolph, Missus Randolph. Oh, oh, yes, 500 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,440 I nearly forgot. Oh it's Sondra. Come on in. You 501 00:28:09,519 --> 00:28:13,519 both know Sandra Weston of course. No, wait a minute, 502 00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:16,839 I couldn't be mistaken. You do know one another, or 503 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,359 did once. As a matter of fact, that's why I 504 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,000 brought Sondra here to help us with that little problem. 505 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,039 What do you mean you know what she got to 506 00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:26,200 do with our list? Well, she knows mister and missus 507 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,640 Randolph better than we do. Perhaps she can decide which 508 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,599 one is telling the truth. 509 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,559 Speaker 5: I wouldn't want to take that responsibility. 510 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,279 Speaker 2: Oh, just for a moment, imagine yourself as Joan Huh 511 00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:40,519 open it yet, Think back a little while when you 512 00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:44,319 were in a very similar position, weren't you. If you're 513 00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:46,559 wondering how I found out, well it's pretty hard to 514 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,240 keep a secret around the place like Anoree's, when you 515 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,720 get expensive gifts from the jeweler like Kinkaid. Mister Randolph 516 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,160 has always been very generous to his lady friends. Here's me. 517 00:28:55,559 --> 00:28:57,519 Speaker 5: You never asked me about that girl life. I would 518 00:28:57,559 --> 00:28:59,839 have told you it's over anyway. 519 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,839 Speaker 2: Don't you agree with me that it's pretty hard to 520 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,519 imagine Missus Randolph killing Joan. She didn't care you and 521 00:29:05,559 --> 00:29:08,519 you were involved with her husband. And when mister Randolph 522 00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:10,519 had a little trouble shaking you off after it became 523 00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:14,119 interested in Joan, he didn't kill you either. Have all 524 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,039 the answers you told me about the luncheon date with 525 00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:18,920 Missus Randolph, about hearing mister Randolph and Joan's dressing room. 526 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,920 You knew why Joan was agitated. The stage was all set. 527 00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:25,519 Joan had a headache, didn't she. Yes, you were very helpful. 528 00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:28,519 She wanted some aspirin and so Phil inspector. 529 00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 5: Would you like another consents? 530 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: Sandra? 531 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 3: You were oh, rue, Sorry, you wouldn't believe me. 532 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:39,119 Speaker 4: I don't never let anyone else, hey man. 533 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 2: It changed to one night, three confessions, only one score inspected, 534 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,000 A two don't count. 535 00:29:55,519 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 3: And at least you could have told me about Sandra. 536 00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't too sure myself until Randolphs were cleared. 537 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: You mean they were cleared when they confessed. 538 00:30:05,079 --> 00:30:08,279 Speaker 2: Oh, sure, that eliminated them. You see, in shielding each other, 539 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,119 they showed how they would behave in a crisis, and 540 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,720 they got a motion for them rising. But if either 541 00:30:13,839 --> 00:30:16,200 one of them had murdered Joan, they wouldn't have left 542 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,279 that bracelet on her arms, That dazzling bit of evidence 543 00:30:19,319 --> 00:30:21,359 would have inevitably committed one or both of them with 544 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:21,839 a murder. 545 00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:25,279 Speaker 3: But what first made you think it might be? 546 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,039 Speaker 2: Send Sandra herself? She told me she'd been with Henre 547 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,279 a long time, and Henri told me Randolph had been 548 00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:37,200 an old customer. She recognized his voice in Joan's dressing room. 549 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,000 She called him Bruce, and then caught herself. Well, once 550 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:43,160 I knew that, it was comparatively easy to check up 551 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,799 on history and find out more about Randolph and Sandra, 552 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,000 and then I had the motive. Yes, but Sandra, why 553 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,720 did it have to be sent? Oh ulysses? Underneath that 554 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,200 solown au Steer mask of yours is a heart just 555 00:30:59,359 --> 00:31:04,319 palpitating Roman. Two Vega dream girls turned out to be 556 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:14,000 Lacrisia Borger. You have been listening to another in a 557 00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:17,160 series of intriguing mysteries starring Gerald Morris, Bill Lance, with 558 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,240 Howard McNair's Ulysses Higgins.

Join us again 562 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,440 next week, same time, over most of these same ABC stations, 563 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,279 when we bring you another of Bill Lance's strange experiences 564 00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:48,119 in a story titled Special Delivery. This Bill Lance Adventure 565 00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:50,839 Death Rears a New Dress was written by Barbara and 566 00:31:50,960 --> 00:32:04,559 Milton Merlin and directed by Dwitehauser. Now here's a special 567 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,519 program note. David Harding steps into a hot better intrigue 568 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,799 in the case of the phony passport paper. Don't miss 569 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,240 David Harding. Cant us by this afternoon on his name 570 00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:18,960 ABC station. This is ABC, the American Broadcasting Company. 571 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, I enjoyed this one. I did think 572 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:29,559 that his solution that if either the husband or the 573 00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:32,279 wife had committed the murder, they would have taken the 574 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,759 bracelet with them. It's kind of making a big bet 575 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:41,599 on people thinking clearly in a very emotional situation. Criminals 576 00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:45,200 do make these sort of mistakes in real life. I 577 00:32:45,279 --> 00:32:48,200 think it's tricky in fiction because you don't want to 578 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:53,160 rely too much on your criminal being stupid or making 579 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,920 a dumb mistake. But you also want to have that 580 00:32:56,119 --> 00:33:00,200 realism with that criminals do make mistakes. But other than that, 581 00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:03,400 this episode was a lot of fun. I continue to 582 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,240 enjoy just the relationship between Bill and Ulysses. And of 583 00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:11,799 course Howard mcneer is always a lot to listen to, 584 00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:15,519 and this is a recurring role where he's able to 585 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:23,759 play to the eccentricity that so many of his characters possess, 586 00:33:24,119 --> 00:33:27,039 you know, even in the one shots where he's playing 587 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,640 suspects on something like let George do It or Yours 588 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,240 Truly Johnny Doller. Also we got to hear Leon Blasco 589 00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:40,079 in something other than The Man called Acts. That was 590 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,119 a question you know, Bill asked like a few months back, 591 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,039 and so it was nice to be able to illustrate 592 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,240 that on the program. The idea of a criminologist using 593 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,160 psychological clues to solve crimes was not unheard of. During 594 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,440 the Golden Ajor Radio we played a series a few 595 00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:02,039 years back called The Crime Files of Lamond. However, I 596 00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:06,079 think this series is actually a bit more enjoyable to 597 00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:09,519 listen to. It's got quite a bit more charm and 598 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:13,199 the music element works well too. All right, well, now 599 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,760 I want to go ahead and thank our Patreon supporter 600 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,320 of the day.
