<v Speaker 1>Unsolved mysteries. Out of deference to persons who may still

2
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>be living. Character names in some of these true unsolved

3
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:36.119
<v Speaker 1>mysteries have been changed. It is now the very witching

4
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>time of night, when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathed

5
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>out contagion to this world?

6
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Can anything be more ghastly than murder?

7
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps if it'd be the life crushing burden of doubt

8
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>susage In the case of Alan Cammell mm hm.

9
00:00:53.280 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 3>Oh at.

10
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 4>Project.

11
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 1>The scene is just outside the London County Police Station.

12
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Unmindful of the tragedies that old building houses, the hurrying,

13
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>milling crowds sweep by in never ending stream. In contrast,

14
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Alan Cammell, reading the morning paper, strolls leisurely by hurrying

15
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>from the opposite direction. The District Commissioner of Police, his

16
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 1>eyes fixed on the pavement, guiding these two men with

17
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>threads as invisible as they are strong fate, without whose

18
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 1>ruling hand this tale would not be told. Oh, I say,

19
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm fitfully sorry, careless of me banging into this way,

20
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>But by Joe Commissioner.

21
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.840
<v Speaker 2>I didn't recognize you. Oh it's all right, old cheff.

22
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 2>I guess my mind was bull gathering too. Where are

23
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>you bound? Just taking a stroll and you going into

24
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 2>the police station here to take a look at the

25
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 2>morning lineup? Morning lineup or fair? Come along in and

26
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>see if they have time.

27
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>They'll find it interesting, although something for him the usphere

28
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 1>of activities.

29
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, commits a mound.

30
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, sergeant, Oh sergeant, this mister glad the lawyer, sir,

31
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and let it be two two songs. We will show

32
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>us to Campbell the morning lineup. He's had no experience

33
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>of the inside of a police station.

34
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I wonder, sir, Yes, would mister Campbell object to joining

35
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>in the lineup?

36
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:10.280
<v Speaker 3>No?

37
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. That's up to him. I don't mind,

38
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 2>certainly not. What do I do?

39
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Well? The idea is this, sir, when a crime is committed,

40
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>we round up all the criminals we can who specialize

41
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.039
<v Speaker 1>on that type of crime. I see, but last night

42
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>we had a murder, and the elevator boy, a dormant,

43
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 1>and the taxi driver have all said we saw a man,

44
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.199
<v Speaker 1>a well dressed man, leaving the apartment house. So we

45
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>want to get as many different types of men possible

46
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 1>in the lineup so that we can get some sort

47
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 1>of idea.

48
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>As to what this man, this possible murderer, looks like.

49
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>For instance, Campbell, the identifying group may say, the man

50
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 1>we saw had shoulders like number twenty five, walks like

51
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 1>number fifteen, or had a.

52
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 2>Nose like number four.

53
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Smart one, I argue with the line up, please to

54
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 1>do it, No, r boy, We'll start. The Commissioner's here,

55
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>okase sagn't can't mind? Up into a long, whitewashed room.

56
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 1>It's hard walls reflecting the harshness of the bluish white

57
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>arc lamps. Walks Alan Cammell from the opposite end of

58
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.479
<v Speaker 1>the room, a file of suspicious characters picked.

59
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>Up during the night. Campbell joins the end of the lion.

60
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 1>As the group, their backs to the wall, stand erect

61
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 1>against the lines of measurement, the sergeant brings in the

62
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 1>three identifying witnesses.

63
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Slowly.

64
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>They walk past the lineup, first the taxi driver, then

65
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 1>the elevator boy, third lit the doorkeeper.

66
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Each in turn hesitates a moment, then stepping in front

67
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 2>of Camel. That's the man. This is the man.

68
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>He's the man I saw. I'm sorry, gentlemen, there must

69
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>be some mistake. I don't worry, mister Campbell, just a

70
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>case of mistaken identity. That will be all just now, certain, okay, boys,

71
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 1>that's all for just now, Come along Campbell, who had

72
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>enough experience of police methods for the day, into my

73
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>office here.

<v Speaker 2>the nerve wracking, isn't it? Yes? It is stupid identified

76
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 2>as a mergerer. By the way, who was that it

77
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 2>was killed? I don't know. I look on the report.

<v Speaker 1>I rather than knew him very well, went to school

84
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>with him. He served under me during the war. We

85
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>were both members of the same PLoP. When I say,

86
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm factfully sorry, Old Chaptain have been responsible for giving

<v Speaker 1>us such the sharpest way.

88
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Don't bring yourself, Commisioner. You you couldn't be expected to know.

89
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 1>However, if you don't mind, I think I'll run along,

90
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Quie not in the slightest have another drink before you go?

91
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 2>No thanks. So rarely in almost the.

92
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Days, Cammell steps out on the Marlborough Road. Here's a

93
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>passing taxi cab and is driven out to Mayfair outside

94
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the Bathurst apartments.

95
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 2>He dismisses the taxi, but hesitates as to whether or

96
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 2>not he should go up to Julian's apartment. Finally, his

97
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 2>heart cundling against his ribs, he tenses himself and walks

98
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 2>down the hallway. Hey, this is is Alan, Alan Campbell.

99
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh Allan, Allen. I I don't know what to say.

100
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 2>I I just learned just now that Bob had been

101
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 2>head what's dead?

102
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 5>Said Dan? Come here, said Helen.

103
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I can't come myself. I've just had the horrible experience

104
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>of being identified as his murderer. Where at the police station?

105
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Alan?

106
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 5>How did they find out?

107
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Find out? What?

108
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 1>How?

109
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 3>So?

110
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Does do you mean you?

111
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:17.800
<v Speaker 5>You don't have to deny it to me?

112
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Alan? To what is ever? Goodbody? Crazy?

113
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 5>Allan? I? I came home about two this morning and

114
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 5>and found Bob dead lying beside him. Where he slipped

115
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 5>from the murder's pocket?

116
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Was this? I put it in my HANDA good lord,

117
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 2>my cigarette case? Then? Can you think that I killed him?

118
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 5>Didn't you threatend to cull him?

119
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, if he ever harmed you? But how did you

120
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 2>know that Bob left the package to be opened at

121
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 2>his death?

122
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 5>I opened it? It told how how it lied to

123
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.319
<v Speaker 5>me about you, how he quipped me into breaking off

124
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 5>our engagement. In his he actually igloried and writing all

125
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.199
<v Speaker 5>the horrible details. Then he went on to say that

126
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.480
<v Speaker 5>if if ever he came to a violent death, he

127
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 5>would be his murderer, because you had told him that

128
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.720
<v Speaker 5>if he ever hurt me, harmed me, was unkind to me,

129
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 5>you'd kill him.

130
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>It's all true.

131
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>For years I've hated him. That's why I avoided him.

132
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>At the time I set eyes on, I realized what

133
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 1>he'd done, and that, Oh, perhaps I should have told you,

134
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 1>but you wouldn't have believed me. How could you be

135
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>expected to? But Eileen, I I didn't kill him.

136
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 5>How do you account for your cigarette?

137
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

138
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I now use your phone? Yes, Allen,

00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 2>in the blind rage, I don't know, but not in

155
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:12.639
<v Speaker 2>cold blood shall lie of you? You answer? Yes, dogs,

156
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:22.399
<v Speaker 2>what contunderstand it? Commenterstand what? Yes? Yes, good heavens yes,

157
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>by all means hate it. I'll explain it. I'll get

158
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>home Dobbs. Dobbs says, my forty five has been moved

159
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>used one bullet fire. Oh and this is horrible dash it.

160
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>To kill a man is bad enough, but to kill

161
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>him not even remember it, well, not anything about it,

162
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 1>to both for the rest of my life, wandering, doubting,

163
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>never knowing, always wondering.

164
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 2>In just a moment, you will hear a solution to

165
00:08:50.519 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>the Allen Camel mystery. M the p.

166
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 6>SPA that the s times not appecial.

167
00:09:34.679 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 7>Si ladies and gentlemen, inasmuch as any solution must have

168
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 7>necessarily be supposition. Liberties of time, place and character have

169
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 7>been taken in the solution for what you have been waiting.

170
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.600
<v Speaker 7>The scene is the police Commissioner's home, and the Commissioner,

171
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 7>accompanied by the sergeant from the Marlborough station, are seated

172
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.960
<v Speaker 7>before the fire talking as Alan Campbell enters.

173
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh, good evening, Camber, good evening. Sit down here by

174
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the fire. That's it now, puck on your mind. I

175
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>hard enough where to start. I call you, commissioner, now

176
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 1>ask you to invite the start of the word. Because

177
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>of what happened this morning, my dear.

178
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Cat, forget the whole business. We know you didn't kill

179
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Robert Julian, but that's it. It seems that I did what.

180
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 2>I went to his apartment after I left the police station.

181
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.000
<v Speaker 2>His wife was there and.

182
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 1>She gave me this a cigarette case, yes mine, she

183
00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>found it lying beside her husband's body.

184
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Out for the rest of the camera. Julian and I

185
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.039
<v Speaker 2>were in love with the same woman. She was engaged

186
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 2>to me. He tricked her into believing that.

187
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 1>I was carrying on with another woman. Yes, she broke

188
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:12.639
<v Speaker 1>off her engagements and I you you second, Julian, I did.

189
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I told him that if he ever hurt her, I'd

190
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.679
<v Speaker 1>kill him. Recently he's been well, he'd gone back to

191
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>his old tricks, neglecting her and all the rest of it.

192
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>It's been on my mind, but I'm not the slightest

193
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:27.519
<v Speaker 1>recollection of doing anything. If I killed him, I don't

194
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>know about it. You you've gone over in your mind

195
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>when you were alone brooding, just how you would give him.

196
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I admit that. Then that's the explanation.

197
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Your subconscious mind has taken possession of your physical body

198
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to commit murder without your ever being aware of the facts.

199
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Is that possible? It won't be the first time.

200
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.639
<v Speaker 1>It's the cause of the subconscious power of the physical

201
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 1>body that the murderer very often revisits the seed of

202
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:50.879
<v Speaker 1>his crime.

203
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Then you think, you rarely think that I have killed Julian. Yes,

204
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.399
<v Speaker 2>thank Cly, I do. And there's nothing else is there

205
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 2>except the form. I'm not going to arrest you, and

206
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the sergeant is either. It's not me, sir.

207
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't in the first place.

208
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe a jury would convict you. In the

209
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.200
<v Speaker 1>second place, I'm not going to give them a chance.

210
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>And so, in so far as the people of London

211
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 1>were concerned. Alan Campbell's name was never mentioned, and the

212
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>murder of Robert Julian was an unsolved mystery.
