Speaker 1: This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be.
Speaker 2: Transmitted to our men and women overseas by shortwave and
Speaker 2: through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
Speaker 1: Petree Wine brings.
Speaker 2: You Basil Rockborne and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures
Speaker 2: of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family that took
Speaker 2: time to bring you good wine, invites you to listen
Speaker 2: to Doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared
Speaker 2: with his old friend, that Master Detective Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: Tonight, instead of joining the doctor at his home, we're
Speaker 1: all meeting here at Camp.
Speaker 2: Roberts in California, where the Doctor is going to tell
Speaker 2: his story before a large audience of GI's And as usual,
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell my story right now. It's about
Speaker 2: Petrie California Sherry.
Speaker 1: And I want you to know.
Speaker 2: That Petrie Sherry is the best beginning a good meal
Speaker 2: ever had. Before you sit down to dinner some evening soon,
Speaker 2: just pour yourself a glass of Petrie. Look at that rich,
Speaker 2: dark amber color, Just smell the fragrance of those wonderful grapes,
Speaker 2: and then take that Petrie Sherry.
Speaker 1: Does that ever good?
Speaker 2: And say if you like your Chevy on the dry side,
Speaker 2: you know, not sweet the just wait till you taste
Speaker 2: Petree pale dry sherry. If some of the family like
Speaker 2: regular sherry and some like pale dry, don't buy one,
Speaker 2: buy two. It didn't go wrong so long as you
Speaker 2: buy Petrie p e t R I Petrie Sherry. And
Speaker 2: now let's join Doctor Watson and get on.
Speaker 1: With that story. Good evening, Well doctor, your study seems
Speaker 1: a little bitter than usual this week.
Speaker 3: I felt it as tonight's new Sherlock Holmes adventure was
Speaker 3: rather than an exciting one. The men here at Camp
Speaker 3: Roberts might like me.
Speaker 4: To set collect for them in first I'm sure they
Speaker 4: will doctor.
Speaker 2: Which particular story of your selected Why would I fall
Speaker 2: the string?
Speaker 3: Which case of the murder in wex It concerns one
Speaker 3: of the most sinister mass murderers whoever threatened the peace
Speaker 3: of London.
Speaker 5: It's in the summer of nineteen.
Speaker 6: Hundred and the set had been roped by a series
Speaker 6: of gustly murders on Hampstead Heath. Hampstead Heath, Yes, Hampstead
Speaker 6: He's that's a large rambling park in the suburbs of London.
Speaker 6: Mister Bartell and noted as a rendezvous for young lovers.
Speaker 3: It was here the the elusive murderer, knife in hand,
Speaker 3: was wont to roam at nighttime searching for his prey.
Speaker 3: All of his victims were young girls, and despite the
Speaker 3: frantic efforts of the peace, each murder seemed to be
Speaker 3: as dating as the one that preceded. Finally, of course,
Speaker 3: as usual, scottland Yard came to Sherlock Holmes for help.
Speaker 3: It seems almost like yesterday mister Bartell and.
Speaker 6: His speculus guards poot in our Baker.
Speaker 5: Street rooms in boring home.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's true, you've got to help us. I don't
Speaker 1: mind telling you over the yards at the end of
Speaker 1: its rope. I sympathize with it was John, but I
Speaker 1: don't see that as much that I can do.
Speaker 7: None of the police can handle the widespread, detailed work
Speaker 7: necessary to this case.
Speaker 1: The private detective is.
Speaker 3: Helpless, and as perhaps if you'd come to mister Holmes
Speaker 3: the first placeless study, you might have helped you.
Speaker 1: But the murderer hasn't finished yet. There've been more kiddings.
Speaker 8: If we don't catch him, you mark my words, mister Oaks,
Speaker 8: please help us.
Speaker 7: Won't you before I commit myself a star. Give me
Speaker 7: the exact chronology of events, will you. All my information
Speaker 7: on the murders has been derived from the London newspapers,
Speaker 7: notoriously inaccurate in matters of fact.
Speaker 8: I can give you all the particular sir. I've been
Speaker 8: on the case right from the beginning. All the murders
Speaker 8: have taken place.
Speaker 1: On Amsteady at night time, and all the victims of
Speaker 1: the young women was the first one a girl by
Speaker 1: the name of Oakley and Bethy Oakley. She was a
Speaker 1: shop girl who worked at Derry and Tom's in Kensington
Speaker 1: h Street.
Speaker 8: Three weeks ago she was out on the east for
Speaker 8: the young fellow by the name of Alfred Smith.
Speaker 1: For what he told me. It was a moonlight night
Speaker 1: that night as they sat there out on the Bessie,
Speaker 1: give us a kiss? How gone tell me this southing life? Slapie?
Speaker 1: Come on, bess.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, he's coming towards us, blooming prowler here?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what you want? Who caught your tast a car?
Speaker 1: Bessie's got her life? No, you don't, you hit Mark bad?
Speaker 1: Keep a wife from me, Keep a wife from me.
Speaker 1: You and that's all I know. Inspector of Strawa. I
Speaker 1: never got a good look at him. He caught me
Speaker 1: on the head, and when I come to there was
Speaker 1: poor Bessie with her broke cut. Yeah, that's your story.
Speaker 8: Don't kill him ahead all right, sergeant, you can book
Speaker 8: it on suspicion of murder.
Speaker 1: Thoughts. We shouldn't be walking on the heap. Didn't you
Speaker 1: read about the murder here two days ago? It's a
Speaker 1: fine thing.
Speaker 9: I take you out in the moonlight and you talk
Speaker 9: of murders and talk about our Spilett Sally.
Speaker 1: It seems to me we should talk about your wife.
Speaker 1: My wife doesn't mean anything to me anymore, Varlett. If
Speaker 1: I could get a divorce. There's someone behind that tree.
Speaker 1: She's coming to me for your sern But you know
Speaker 1: you don't get it.
Speaker 5: Don't tell you any don't.
Speaker 9: Inspector stro She's she's dead, poor girl, I know. But
Speaker 9: a scandal can't bring her back. It is any way
Speaker 9: to keep my name out of the papers.
Speaker 8: I ah, I'm afraid you'll have to take your chances,
Speaker 8: said George. And sergeant Inspector, you can turn that boy
Speaker 8: loose weed hell for questioning. The man who did this
Speaker 8: is obviously the same killer on the paper. Going to
Speaker 8: hear a lot more.
Speaker 1: From him, add Piper Empson rest for fifth.
Speaker 10: Addition, Bunny, look here, miss, you can't go walk in
Speaker 10: by yourself up on the eath.
Speaker 5: It ain't safe.
Speaker 1: Thank you can't without that frightened, I want to be
Speaker 1: by myself.
Speaker 10: Well, I can't stop you by Laura, I suppose, but
Speaker 10: you shouldn't do it. I don't know how to handle
Speaker 10: it modern young things. And that's a fact, inspected AUSTRALI.
Speaker 10: He must have killed in the moment you got out
Speaker 10: of my sight.
Speaker 1: So I searched the already heath, but I couldn't find
Speaker 1: the murderer, but did startle him. He left his height
Speaker 1: in the body.
Speaker 8: Good Jackson. The body is not being identified yet. Ain't
Speaker 8: no expect we'll print a photograph in all the papers.
Speaker 8: We've got to find out who she is. Uh, mister Bishop,
Speaker 8: is this the body of your missing daughter?
Speaker 1: It's rosy My Rose's speaking the strat the favor na
Speaker 1: my hands on his murdering feet. I'll kill him. I'll
Speaker 1: kill him with the bare hand. Where's the story, mister Roones.
Speaker 1: Rose Bishop was the tenth and last girl murdered, which
Speaker 1: was the first girl murdered and when she was alone
Speaker 1: in astride.
Speaker 8: Yes, sir, you found no clues where none had proved
Speaker 8: anything when we checked on them, and he asked you
Speaker 8: a question of too l astride anything you like?
Speaker 1: Say've taken the obvious precautions, of course, How do you
Speaker 1: mean so to.
Speaker 8: The heavy police guard on heath Why, yes, sir, he
Speaker 8: had a hundred plain clothesmen walking there at night ever
Speaker 8: since the second murder.
Speaker 1: But he seems to slip through our fingers. I suppose
Speaker 1: to also posted policemen dressed in women's.
Speaker 8: Clothes, Yes, miss rooms, and we've had girls to walk
Speaker 8: the eath in couples with our playing clothesmen.
Speaker 1: But the murderer, it won't seem to rise to our bait,
Speaker 1: the cunning.
Speaker 7: Brut, Yes, he is rosson obviously, I'm morbid, madman, obsessed
Speaker 7: by a hatred of love.
Speaker 1: You'll be how to catch the stride. You mentioned clues
Speaker 1: that amunted to nothing when you checked them. What were
Speaker 1: these clues?
Speaker 8: Well, footprints, a couple of cigarette butts dropped at the
Speaker 8: scene of the crime.
Speaker 1: Thing that helped us.
Speaker 8: The only important clue was the knofe We founded the
Speaker 8: body of Rose Bishop of the last girl murder got.
Speaker 1: The experts of the yard examined him. Yes, sir, didn't
Speaker 1: tell us a thing, though you have a knight with
Speaker 1: you here. It is miss Lmees. I knew you wouldn't
Speaker 1: trust us, you'd want to look at each yourself. Thank you, lestrade. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mm hmm interesting. What is it?
Speaker 5: Harm?
Speaker 7: This knife is a collector's item. It's at least one
Speaker 7: hundred years old. I should say, NI keep us of
Speaker 7: a night astrida. I should like to conduct a few
Speaker 7: experiments my own.
Speaker 1: Why, of course you can, sir, And.
Speaker 5: You are going to take on the case home and.
Speaker 1: Let us say that.
Speaker 7: I'll take it under advisement. I'll do my best, less child,
Speaker 7: I'll do my best.
Speaker 5: Well. Thanks.
Speaker 7: If any further developments occur, communicating it months below, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1: In the meanwhile, I'll smoke a few pipes on the problem.
Speaker 7: But I promise nothing, my dear fellow, I promise absolutely nothing.
Speaker 5: Three couple of.
Speaker 3: Morning home, you're still peering through your microscope with that
Speaker 3: knife for straw.
Speaker 1: True, chat, that's quite true. It must be a very
Speaker 1: dull opinion. Why don't you go to bed? Oh?
Speaker 3: Because I'm afraid I missed something confounded, Have you discovered me?
Speaker 1: Yes? I think so?
Speaker 5: Oh what?
Speaker 7: The handle of this knife is corrogated on the underside.
Speaker 7: I observed the slight diffusion in the markings and of
Speaker 7: the peretrating eye of the microscope. I found a newte
Speaker 7: deposit which had caused the diffusion. I have just analyzed
Speaker 7: that deposit. It's wax, colored wax, colored wax. Well what
Speaker 7: does that sit about by itself?
Speaker 1: Very little?
Speaker 7: But when you can find it for the knife, it
Speaker 7: definitely belongs to another century. It does suggest a certain
Speaker 7: origin I got my dear.
Speaker 5: Perhaps it came from the theater.
Speaker 3: An eighteenth century dagger could belong in a period play,
Speaker 3: and the colored wax might easily be part of an
Speaker 3: actor's maker excellent direction, wats oh thanks.
Speaker 7: However, my own theory would be that this dagger came
Speaker 7: from a wax works exhibition.
Speaker 5: Oh wrong again.
Speaker 7: Putty is used in theatrical disguises, but I don't recall
Speaker 7: the use of colored wex, whereas.
Speaker 3: It is used in making wax and effiges, and of
Speaker 3: course the dagger would belong as part of the costume.
Speaker 1: BERSI can idea below.
Speaker 7: It's a long chance, but I think in the morning
Speaker 7: we'll make a tour of various London wax works exhibitions.
Speaker 1: If my deduction is.
Speaker 7: A postman, at least we'll have the pleasure of a
Speaker 7: bustman's holiday. We can visit all our old friends who
Speaker 7: died on the gallows, can tad o Jack, I'm a
Speaker 7: seminal ware.
Speaker 5: This is the fourth X Works exhibition.
Speaker 1: That we've been the poor from the last.
Speaker 7: We failed to find any clues here at the X Museum.
Speaker 7: We can return to Big Street.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank heaven, this is our last port of call.
Speaker 3: I'm so dizzy from looking at waxworks that they begin
Speaker 3: to human beings to me? Did you notice that I
Speaker 3: asked directions from the wax policeman the entrance daughter.
Speaker 1: How many people have been deceived in the same way
Speaker 1: here we are? Levek doesn't believe in understatement?
Speaker 5: Does he look look at that sign.
Speaker 1: The Chamber of.
Speaker 7: Horrors coming and see the pateant of murder, all the
Speaker 7: killers of history re enacting their famous crimes.
Speaker 1: Well, it's Queen Watson. We should feel thoroughly at home.
Speaker 5: Creepy and here is it.
Speaker 3: I've heard that mister Levec could pay one hundred pounds
Speaker 3: anyone who will spend all night alone in the chamber
Speaker 3: of horrors, as.
Speaker 1: I've heard of that challenge too.
Speaker 3: Are you thinking of accepting the best birds to spend
Speaker 3: a night here for a thousand?
Speaker 7: Very comprehensive collection of killers, aren't they? See Williams wain Wrights,
Speaker 7: ah nationalist georgious.
Speaker 5: She was an attractive woman runching the stream a pair
Speaker 5: of ankles a scene.
Speaker 7: Yes, but you wouldn't have liked her cooking Watson to
Speaker 7: use the most lethal condiments of almost any woman in history.
Speaker 1: Well, what is it over there?
Speaker 3: I was wondering when we'd come to twenty of your cases,
Speaker 3: Doctor Grimsby Riolet and the murders took Moran, or the
Speaker 3: case of the Speckle Band by Joe Holmes.
Speaker 5: The tabler's extraordinarialistic.
Speaker 1: Isn't it here? And of a lot of old friends
Speaker 1: of mine are represented here?
Speaker 7: She rather liked her a new acquaintance with the Ricolette
Speaker 7: of the club Foot and his unpominable wife Ricoletti. I
Speaker 7: don't remember him, oh, one of my earlier cases, old Philip,
Speaker 7: I must tell you that story.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I wish you.
Speaker 3: Would have off Holmes. Look that veiled figure over there,
Speaker 3: read the packard in front of it, the Hampstead Heath murderer. Well,
Speaker 3: how very interesting the face is coming with a black veil?
Speaker 3: Is this pure showmans? If I wonder on, does Michell
Speaker 3: le peck no more than Scotland yard and die?
Speaker 1: A good day to you? Gentlemen?
Speaker 5: Metty you startle Missel.
Speaker 1: Are you admiring my collection of murderers?
Speaker 11: Mister le bec yes, sir, and heaven say the distinction
Speaker 11: of addressing mister Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: This is my name, This is my friend, doctor Watson.
Speaker 5: How do you do?
Speaker 1: Doctor? I am greatly honored to meet your vote. What
Speaker 1: do you think of my chamber of horror? It's very impressive.
Speaker 7: We're particularly interested in this veiled figure of the Hampstead
Speaker 7: Heath murder.
Speaker 5: Is a face behine beneath that veil.
Speaker 1: I'll let you in on a trade.
Speaker 4: Secret, gentlemen. There are no recognizable features behind that veil.
Speaker 4: This is purely for publicity purposes. The public always expects
Speaker 4: to see the latest towers here, and I thought I
Speaker 4: titilate there more bills by by having a mysterious figure
Speaker 4: representing the killer. Of course, if he is captured, I
Speaker 4: shall add his effergy to my collection. You think he
Speaker 4: will be captured, then one can only speculate. He's a
Speaker 4: clever man, mister Hewn.
Speaker 7: By the way, mister de bec, does your offer of
Speaker 7: one hundred pounds to anyone who will spend a night
Speaker 7: in the Chamber of Horrors still a whole good?
Speaker 1: Yes? Are you thinking of accepting the bet, mister Helen? No,
Speaker 1: but Dr Watson would like to. All right.
Speaker 4: I don't recommend the experience, doctor, It's an ordeal. It
Speaker 4: calls for nerves of steel. However, I shall be glad
Speaker 4: to arrange. I haven't the slightest in turnary backing down now?
Speaker 4: Of course you haven't, Overallo, What time will my friend
Speaker 4: return to About eleven thirty tonight. I'll be waiting for
Speaker 4: him at the meet Sanday, Come on, Button Holmes, are
Speaker 4: till David vec today? Gentlemen, I shall be waiting for
Speaker 4: you tonight, Doctor Holmes.
Speaker 5: What the places do you thinkeep doing? I have the
Speaker 5: slightest intension of keeping that appointment tonight.
Speaker 1: Well, of course you haven't. I shall keep it disguised
Speaker 1: as you you keep.
Speaker 5: Heaven's sake, tell her what you're up to.
Speaker 7: Hose you didn't even mention that missing Daggett vill bec no,
Speaker 7: because he knows something about the murderer.
Speaker 1: I'm convinced of it.
Speaker 5: Why do you say that?
Speaker 7: As we were standing there talking to him, a breath
Speaker 7: of hair from the open window blew back the corner
Speaker 7: of the veil. I'll swear that there are clearly defined
Speaker 7: features beneath it.
Speaker 5: And so you're going back there tonight to find.
Speaker 1: Out that's right.
Speaker 5: Old color.
Speaker 7: The superstitious used to believe they could use a waxen
Speaker 7: image to kill a man. Tonight, Watson, we shall prove
Speaker 7: that a waxen image can be use to trap a killer.
Speaker 2: Doctor Watson will continue his story in just a second.
Speaker 2: So I'm just going to remind you that there are
Speaker 2: lots of ways to make good food taste better, but
Speaker 2: the easiest way is to serve that food with a
Speaker 2: good wine, a Petree wine. If you like a white
Speaker 2: wine with chicken or with fish, you love that wonderful
Speaker 2: Petrie California. So turned if you like a red wine,
Speaker 2: then rich Harty Petrie California Burgundy is your wine. But
Speaker 2: if you don't know which you prefer, why not.
Speaker 5: Try them both.
Speaker 2: Petri Burgundy and Petrie so turned red and white. Don't
Speaker 2: buy one by two, but always buy Petrie. Well doctor,
Speaker 2: So Sherlock Holmes decided to disguise himself as you and
Speaker 2: spend a night in the Chamber of Horrors.
Speaker 5: To dinner. That night he began to fight to make yeah,
Speaker 5: some try.
Speaker 3: To sit there in Vacer Street and watch home, slowly
Speaker 3: turning into a very convincing replica of myself, and he did.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 7: We discussed, Watson, if I'm not back here by two o'clock,
Speaker 7: you'd better come out to me.
Speaker 5: So then we can't wait outside of Fuller, just in
Speaker 5: case it's in trouble.
Speaker 7: Oh no, no, no, you'd attract attention. By the way,
Speaker 7: do you recall the name of the last girl murdered
Speaker 7: on the heath?
Speaker 5: Yes, Bishop Rose, the.
Speaker 7: Only girl who was murdered when she was unescorted. The
Speaker 7: body was identified by her at home. Levec is a
Speaker 7: French name, and yet the gentleman had a decided lead
Speaker 7: English accent. I should say that he adopted a foreign
Speaker 7: name as being more suited to his professional What you're
Speaker 7: driving it?
Speaker 3: What's the connection between the Vec, the owner of the waxworks,
Speaker 3: and the father of Rose.
Speaker 5: Bishop the murdered girl.
Speaker 1: Is the French word for Bishop frick Scott.
Speaker 5: You think that he knows who the murder isn't?
Speaker 1: I know only one thing I miss see if it's
Speaker 1: beneath that black veil. Now now that's my disguise.
Speaker 5: Look exactly like David. How you manage about the voice?
Speaker 5: We are will be two difficult men, will God under
Speaker 5: tell what you say in your own case?
Speaker 7: Old Chap, that's a handicapped and I stuff at my
Speaker 7: years rubbish.
Speaker 5: I'm personally until let me.
Speaker 7: See the bullseye lantern. Yes, once, and I think i'll
Speaker 7: borrow your volter too. I probably won't need it but ten,
Speaker 7: but once.
Speaker 1: I think it might be safer for me to go
Speaker 1: on here homes out, do be careful. I have a lot, Chap,
Speaker 1: don't body goodbye?
Speaker 7: And if I'm not back by two o'clock, you better
Speaker 7: come to the waxworks and see what's happened to me.
Speaker 1: Doctor Watson, you don't mind if I search you? Of
Speaker 1: course not.
Speaker 11: And no lampon pleas the moonlight will give you all
Speaker 11: the illumination at tuney, dear me a.
Speaker 1: Revolver in your pocket. I'm afraid I can't allow that.
Speaker 4: Once before, a young man who unwisely accepted my bet
Speaker 4: left bullet holes in some of my finest waxworks before
Speaker 4: he finally went raving.
Speaker 5: Men.
Speaker 4: Don't be frightened, Dr Watson. Many of the waxwork murderers
Speaker 4: here are all friends of yours. They will be good company.
Speaker 4: I shall come and release you at eight in the morning.
Speaker 4: I've steeled all the windows with string and wax. I
Speaker 4: shall seal the door behind me.
Speaker 1: As I leave midnight the betty ar doctor, You still
Speaker 1: wish to go through with it? Very well? Then I
Speaker 1: shall leave you now. Good night, Dr Watson. What's that?
Speaker 5: Who's there? Who?
Speaker 1: Little smaller? And we spring it up the shadows? Who's
Speaker 1: going with me?
Speaker 7: The window? Fick Scott's Watson? Now before it's time? Well,
Speaker 7: he got the seeds in the strain.
Speaker 2: With him.
Speaker 1: Hos Homes. You are right, I'm all right, be honey.
Speaker 1: But it's just as well you're carrying the lantern and
Speaker 1: they took mine with him.
Speaker 5: Come on in.
Speaker 1: There, we'll wand over a quad. I'm glad to see
Speaker 1: you watching. But what made you decide to come here
Speaker 1: at like you.
Speaker 5: Left the start?
Speaker 1: Take the Bay Street? He told her, there's another murder
Speaker 1: on the heath, and a seven o'clock to night, another murderer.
Speaker 1: I started wiring a about your homes. I had a
Speaker 1: pumlition of impending danger and I.
Speaker 5: Decided to come over here.
Speaker 12: You're you're not angry with me, of course, not, my
Speaker 12: dear fellow. I'm going to be your company, and I
Speaker 12: appreciate your concern. Have you looked under the veil of
Speaker 12: the waxwork figure but the Hampstead Heath murder yet? Now
Speaker 12: it's just about to your lantern, will be most useful.
Speaker 5: Come on? What oh what have you been doing? Just
Speaker 5: just doing nothing?
Speaker 7: As I wanted to give the impression that I was
Speaker 7: here for the knights, and I also wanted to do
Speaker 7: some serious thinking. I smoked too piped in the problem, Watson,
Speaker 7: and I think I know the answer. Now I'm willing
Speaker 7: to swear you'll know the face you see and I
Speaker 7: lift the veil from the wax and dummy hates a
Speaker 7: figure now a lantern, little high will, don't that's it?
Speaker 1: I left the veil land Or to see good lord.
Speaker 7: It's waxwork figure for the VEC himself, precisely, Watson, An
Speaker 7: I'm a paralleled example of the self detrail inherent in
Speaker 7: criminal egotism that Beck.
Speaker 1: Couldn't resist the homes. The waxwork is moving, It's got it.
Speaker 1: It's a larst, gentlemen, which is more than either of
Speaker 1: you will be in a few minutes. You re entered
Speaker 1: this room by a secret doors. Both listened to Holmes.
Speaker 4: And since you've displayed such a flattering interest in the
Speaker 4: Hampsteon Heath murderer, I decided to remove the wax figure
Speaker 4: and appeared in purse.
Speaker 5: We cut homes. You got a revolver?
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, doctor, this isn't a revolver in
Speaker 1: my pocket. What would the Hampstead Heath murderer want for
Speaker 1: the revolver? This is a knight. I feel so much
Speaker 1: booked home with a knife. Two of us sick, remember that,
Speaker 1: and both unarmed. Which one of you met us wants today?
Speaker 1: The lesson smart yets and the moon's fading. What a
Speaker 1: pity homes we over here by the epide at Macbeth.
Speaker 1: I'm very thoughtful of you to provide him with a dagger. Effc.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't want my dear homes. You can't escape me.
Speaker 4: I can feel my way in the dark here. I
Speaker 4: know every inch of this room. You're doomed, both of you.
Speaker 4: Don't stuck them out, homes, You'll make.
Speaker 7: A target of yourself.
Speaker 1: Tell the bet I'm writing.
Speaker 7: This newspapers and make an excellent torch to step the
Speaker 7: light of the nearest waxwork.
Speaker 1: Now, don't burn my wax wor wax and I wouldn't
Speaker 1: frame so plays brilliantly.
Speaker 8: Very hard.
Speaker 1: Will you tell them you're just drying my life work.
Speaker 3: Homes are running wort, just pulling along the fat.
Speaker 5: The courtains are touching light. The whole paper bunder half.
Speaker 1: I talk with you. I thought that's what smokes you up?
Speaker 1: Quick watch that ever again?
Speaker 5: What that knife home?
Speaker 8: Well, mister Romes, you've done it again. You solve the
Speaker 8: case in a blaze of glory. Get the points a
Speaker 8: blaze of gloryscad.
Speaker 1: I guess fine, Thank you very much, marmalade.
Speaker 5: Will you want some homes? Is that the morning paper
Speaker 5: you brought with you the stone?
Speaker 1: Yes? Doctor, want me to read the advice.
Speaker 8: M steady murderer captured in fire that destroys bex work exhibition.
Speaker 8: You know, mister Romes, you and doctor were lucky. You
Speaker 8: went burnt to death. Never mind the chance he ran of.
Speaker 1: Having your throat cut by that Romaniet.
Speaker 7: Was watunate that the police and farman were on the
Speaker 7: scene as quickly as they were, That they have the
Speaker 7: strength of ten men.
Speaker 5: Yes, the strength of a man's man.
Speaker 8: You'll never stand trial, of course, now, doctor, you'll end
Speaker 8: up in an asylum.
Speaker 1: War he belongs, Miss Dones. What made you suspect levi.
Speaker 7: It you first came in to yourself, the strang you
Speaker 7: and told me that all the murdered girls were accompanied
Speaker 7: by men when they were attacked oliveon save one Rose Bishop. Therefore,
Speaker 7: if the murderer was then hated of love, he had
Speaker 7: to it be someone that close to Rose Bishop to
Speaker 7: know that she was a suitable victim. That point alone,
Speaker 7: which I was shocking. The Sloman observing should have told
Speaker 7: us to focus our attention on the father, mister Bishop.
Speaker 8: He yes, well, your theory was certainly right. Mister Robes,
Speaker 8: you should have heard these ravings after the arrest. East
Speaker 8: wore his daughter had been ruined, and so he'd killed.
Speaker 3: A tomsy work figure of the killer, the one with
Speaker 3: a veil of rich face. The features underneath were those
Speaker 3: of the levequ himself.
Speaker 5: Weren't there.
Speaker 1: I'm certain of it, old fellow.
Speaker 7: You see, he had two great prides, the first his
Speaker 7: natural pride as a fine craftsman in wax, the second
Speaker 7: his perverted pride as a prominent and successful murderer. These
Speaker 7: two prides combined suggested to his praised mind, you make
Speaker 7: a waxwork figure of himself and range it for the
Speaker 7: other great killers of history.
Speaker 3: But he was cunning enough to protect himself by placing
Speaker 3: a veil over the price.
Speaker 1: My dear fellow.
Speaker 7: And when he saw us yesterday and we accepted the wager,
Speaker 7: he undoubtedly became suspicious and removed the wax figure last
Speaker 7: night and made his personal appearance as the murderer, with
Speaker 7: every intention of killing us both.
Speaker 1: Yes, we were very lucky, old Chap.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If you ask me, mister Elms, you've been very smart.
Speaker 5: I quite agree to, sir. And I think you solve
Speaker 5: the case brilliantly.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no, I've been very stuggish.
Speaker 7: I solved by circumstance and melodrama what should have been
Speaker 7: a purely intellectual problem. I'm not pleased with myself, John.
Speaker 7: I hope that my name has not been used in
Speaker 7: that newspaper.
Speaker 1: A bot. No, it doesn't excellent. I want no credit
Speaker 1: in this case.
Speaker 5: Do you mean to say that you can let's couple
Speaker 5: yard get the praise for catching him home?
Speaker 1: Why not? That's very generous of you, mister Rosey. It'll
Speaker 1: make us things a lot easier for me.
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Certainly? Well?
Speaker 7: Holmes? A, I can't see why you reproach yourself because
Speaker 7: my dear Watson, like the Hampsteadieth murderer, I too have
Speaker 7: my pride as a craftsman.
Speaker 1: This case had a clearly defined pattern, and I was
Speaker 1: unable to recognize it.
Speaker 7: If you should have occasional to chronicle this story, Watson,
Speaker 7: and I suld prefer that you didn't.
Speaker 1: I I would like you to entitle it the education
Speaker 1: of an idiot.
Speaker 5: Oh kamla Holmes, education of an idiot? That's absurd, I know.
Speaker 7: But if you do tell this story, it'll probably end
Speaker 7: up as a strange case of the murderer in wax.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: Doctor. That was sure as well story. You know, that's
Speaker 1: the kind of story I like. Lots of actions.
Speaker 5: Well, that's the kind of story I like to tell,
Speaker 5: you know what's about tell.
Speaker 3: Although our broadcasts were heard overseas every week through Armed
Speaker 3: Forces Radio. This is one of the few occasions that
Speaker 3: I've had the privilege of really telling my story directly
Speaker 3: to the boys, and it's been a great pleasure for
Speaker 3: me to be here at Cap Roberts Well.
Speaker 2: That not only goes for you, but for me the doctor,
Speaker 2: and for the Patrick family. There are no words to
Speaker 2: describe how much our country owes our servicemen and to
Speaker 2: all of you. The Patrie family wants to say, just
Speaker 2: as every American wants to say, thanks for a swell job. Well,
Speaker 2: doctor Watson, what story you're planning to tell us next week?
