Speaker 1: This is Oyson Wells speaking from London.
Speaker 2: A black museum, a repository of.
Speaker 1: Crime, of death by violence. Here in the bleak stone
Speaker 1: structure which is Scotland.
Speaker 2: Yard, there's a warehouse of souvenirs were ordinary objects. A
Speaker 2: briar pipe, a dingy white glove, a lump of twisted
Speaker 2: sealing wax.
Speaker 3: All have a history of murder. This length of stash cords.
Speaker 2: It's quite commonplace might see something like this in any
Speaker 2: window frame. Harmless looking bit of rope receives so praise
Speaker 2: at one end, cut all cleanly at the other, just
Speaker 2: the right length to hook.
Speaker 1: Around the man's neck.
Speaker 2: And today that bit of sash gourd can be seen
Speaker 2: in the Black Museum. Here we are in the Black Museum,
Speaker 2: Scotland Yard's museum of murder, outside these walls of black
Speaker 2: and breakthran slates, London, where since daybreak the river has
Speaker 2: borne an endless burden of traffic.
Speaker 1: On fog shrouded bridges and in narrow.
Speaker 2: Streets, tens of thousands of pedestrians have jostled one another,
Speaker 2: all very much alive. But here within this room the
Speaker 2: connoisseurs of crime they see recorded for posterity and cabinets
Speaker 2: in wooden trays and charge carefully labeled and preserved the
Speaker 2: evidence of vindictive death.
Speaker 1: Let's sash for a short piece of rope grimly freight
Speaker 1: at one end.
Speaker 2: Not remarkable in itself, yet it came from the stage
Speaker 2: of a famous theater in the city of Brighton, where
Speaker 2: Octavia Kenmore, actress manager, was.
Speaker 1: Concluding her annual engagements. The alley at that theater was
Speaker 1: like any other, a corridor of darkness between the streets
Speaker 1: and the stage door.
Speaker 2: One September evening, a man came running out of the
Speaker 2: shadows starting the door keeper.
Speaker 1: Sat dozing in a chair.
Speaker 4: Mister Carter, what's the troubles if I'll find out.
Speaker 5: Soon enough, Operator Sindon Carter here locally theater cind and
Speaker 5: angels cutish.
Speaker 6: There's been an accident one of our stage hands.
Speaker 4: He's lying unconscious in the alley.
Speaker 6: How it please yes, one of the cost Mister Carter,
Speaker 6: who is it? Tell me that's Buckland comming around.
Speaker 4: I try.
Speaker 7: I know Miss Kenmore would be terribly distressed. Stage carpenter
Speaker 7: would help for twenty years as as you will. Hadn't
Speaker 7: we better go and gift him into repett? Say something
Speaker 7: could be done.
Speaker 4: You know it's better not to move into the doctor comes.
Speaker 4: It made a serious and we wouldn't want to injure him.
Speaker 2: You know, a man found dead to dying a phone
Speaker 2: call than the waiting over the crumpled figures still old
Speaker 2: Tom Snellen door keeper and Saint John Carter leading man
Speaker 2: waiting waiting until an ambulance drew up at an enter
Speaker 2: and came to the other side. Jeff Bucklin, which.
Speaker 4: One of you callers I did, who said the man
Speaker 4: was unconscious? Look to be I had no physician. This
Speaker 4: man's dead, fopful the heart.
Speaker 1: You'd have done much better to call the police. The
Speaker 1: police arrived and the actors.
Speaker 2: Coming into the evening performance were questions the stars the
Speaker 2: play in the theater earls as her customers left undisturbed.
Speaker 1: The constable at the door admitted a young.
Speaker 7: Plain clothes man, Yes, Jordan, and then found this sir
Speaker 7: getting under some rubbish in the alley thirty two calibuston
Speaker 7: thank you, oh, mister Ellis.
Speaker 1: Attention now focused on David Ellis, stage manager. This Ken's troupe.
Speaker 4: Ever seen this pistol, mister Ellis, Why yes, it's the
Speaker 4: one we're used in the play. I'll keep it in
Speaker 4: my desk.
Speaker 1: I use the licen point.
Speaker 4: What sort of ammunition do you have?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 4: Blank?
Speaker 1: Cottages?
Speaker 4: Of course thirty two blanks not loaded with.
Speaker 7: Blanks, now bullets, and one chamber has been fired.
Speaker 4: I must wore a new Ellis. Anything you say henceforth
Speaker 4: will be written down and maybe used as evidence.
Speaker 9: Have you men, you're rating Dave, but you can't. You
Speaker 9: never hears anyway, you young lady, Miss kenwarehpotry.
Speaker 4: My wife inspector, please lose safety.
Speaker 8: Steaky, you don't, un miss ken Jeff with our friend.
Speaker 9: She's being like a footuposivis.
Speaker 10: And why do you stand?
Speaker 9: You're wasting time of getting far away?
Speaker 8: I take it there's been some trouble to sir stage
Speaker 8: your business men leave. I can't have my further disrupted.
Speaker 11: Fifteen minutes before curtain times now, Lucy control ourselves. Will
Speaker 11: someone be good enough to tell me what had happened?
Speaker 4: Certain name is ken Moore.
Speaker 7: I had hoped it wouldn't be necessaries were disturbing just
Speaker 7: at present with one of your stage hands.
Speaker 4: Mister Buckland was found at.
Speaker 2: Evening out Octavia Kenmore distinguished actress manager Darling of the
Speaker 2: provinces equally adept at comedy or tragedy.
Speaker 11: Of course, I'm gravely shocked. Thorns the butler a good
Speaker 11: and faithful servant, inspector.
Speaker 8: But it is preposterous of you to the stake, mister Ellis.
Speaker 8: My stage managers ever.
Speaker 4: Kill people in any case.
Speaker 8: I can't passion we bring up in ten minutes exactly.
Speaker 4: I'm extremiss on in a Kenmore. But Ellis is a
Speaker 4: material witness. He must come to the station house for
Speaker 4: further questioning. It was his fas was.
Speaker 8: I own all the props used in my name?
Speaker 6: His name?
Speaker 4: Legally he is the owner.
Speaker 8: Then I demand that you.
Speaker 7: Release him in my first for I'd like to do that, ma'am,
Speaker 7: But unfortunately your entire company is unders Williams, and it's
Speaker 7: only permitted to perform to night.
Speaker 4: Ellis, what's coming with me? Verywell?
Speaker 11: Go with them, David, Lucy and I will be down
Speaker 11: to see you and the inspector as soon as we
Speaker 11: possibly can.
Speaker 2: The police that's the theater, except for certain constables and
Speaker 2: duty at the door and in addressing room, Mark David
Speaker 2: Kenmore made.
Speaker 11: Ready, Lucy, my child, Oh me, how weak a thing
Speaker 11: the heart of woman is.
Speaker 10: Don't be downcast.
Speaker 6: How can I help it?
Speaker 9: Dress Kenmore? But David in prison nonsense, He's.
Speaker 10: Only detained for questioning.
Speaker 8: He isn't charged with any crime. I'm thinking of Jeffed Bulan,
Speaker 8: an excellent good man on the best.
Speaker 10: Stage Carpentil there was in England? Was he made the
Speaker 10: family's in Manchester.
Speaker 8: We'll have to telephone an immediate.
Speaker 9: After the performance. You're reading me, you're going on?
Speaker 10: Certainly I am, and you will do Davies job tonight.
Speaker 9: N Well, miss you?
Speaker 4: Why not?
Speaker 10: You're kleaning David?
Speaker 9: Do it often enough?
Speaker 8: I'm working what you need for no time to think
Speaker 8: now quickly now check the stage for the thirsteen and
Speaker 8: while I repair my mate up.
Speaker 2: The player went smooth and the curtain rosen fell as
Speaker 2: the actually took that call. Lucie Ella's listening to the applause, realized,
Speaker 2: certainly she was quite calm and still possessed, but her
Speaker 2: composure was nothing to that about Savior ken Moore.
Speaker 1: She descended on the police station.
Speaker 3: Now many minutes later.
Speaker 4: Ah, miss ken Moore and Ellis, come in, won't you?
Speaker 10: I am inspectors.
Speaker 8: Now I expect a full explanation of what you have accomplished.
Speaker 10: By imprisoning my employee these.
Speaker 4: Past two hours, so spent your time.
Speaker 8: I expect to leave brighton tomorrow night, taking my stage
Speaker 8: manager with busy and writing picture.
Speaker 7: He's nothing change or even as under missus edis, in
Speaker 7: fact is quite comfortable to them.
Speaker 4: If you will both be seated, Madam center instant, thank you, Inspector, well,
Speaker 4: have you nothing to tell us about this case? I'm
Speaker 4: waiting at the moment for our pathologists support. Of course,
Speaker 4: don't talk, yes routine. Please pro see your man's in shock.
Speaker 10: That was quite obvious.
Speaker 7: The bullet is important, particularly in court, to establish the
Speaker 7: actual weapon seemed to be the hand.
Speaker 10: Aside the weapon is a more important.
Speaker 7: Consideration Eventually, Miss ken Moore, and inevitably, I trust we'd
Speaker 7: like to know more about Buckland's background, his habits.
Speaker 4: Did he drink?
Speaker 8: For example, despite the general opinion, there are many in
Speaker 8: the theatrical profession who are not addicted to alcohol. Inspector
Speaker 8: lets about and was a decent.
Speaker 1: Man I gave you you can watch all the truth
Speaker 1: about the voted.
Speaker 2: Man an non drinker, except for an occasional find a
Speaker 2: bitter after the show, A devoted family man in an
Speaker 2: occupation where family relationships are often difficult to maintain.
Speaker 8: There was nothing to indicate a motive for In all
Speaker 8: the years of me, I have never known him to
Speaker 8: miss a single performance.
Speaker 10: He was a craft who could rig.
Speaker 8: And handle any production heavier life With him on the job,
Speaker 8: my stage managers.
Speaker 10: Had an easy time with it.
Speaker 4: Everyone liked him.
Speaker 10: His only four perhaps, was that he was too loyal
Speaker 10: to me.
Speaker 9: We're not being much help to you.
Speaker 4: How Oh, yes, you've helped to sit in the picture.
Speaker 4: I've learned a lot.
Speaker 6: Well, what did you learn?
Speaker 4: Two important things, Miss ken Moore? First that Button was
Speaker 4: not a man who made enemies.
Speaker 7: All my reports bared this out. And also that he
Speaker 7: was extremely devoted to you, significant extremely. You keep a
Speaker 7: close frame in your company. You should know of any
Speaker 7: jealousies or quarrels that occurred. I know, I'm sure of that.
Speaker 7: You are not the person to tolerate fiction or even
Speaker 7: bad habits in.
Speaker 4: Members of your troup. Helly, but pards you reporting picture.
Speaker 4: I knew you wanted right away? Thank you? Yes, well
Speaker 4: this is interesting. Why was I told of this before?
Speaker 4: You know what they like in the labins, They tell
Speaker 4: they wanted to be sure, absolutely sure, I see Ms Kenmore.
Speaker 7: Can you think of a reason why anyone should want
Speaker 7: to shoot a dead man?
Speaker 8: Hardly the useless procedures.
Speaker 4: It seems so, it says happened.
Speaker 6: Apparently Buckland was dead of stragulation before he was shot.
Speaker 2: Today the instrument of that murder, a piece of sash good,
Speaker 2: can be found in the Black Museum.
Speaker 1: There's a good question, Inspector.
Speaker 7: Mitchell repeated it, can you think of a reason why
Speaker 7: anyone should want to shoot a dead man? An interesting
Speaker 7: problem is the medical report is very deafness was strangled
Speaker 7: with a thin piece of rope. Because he wore a
Speaker 7: scarf about his neck. The marks weren't noticed till they
Speaker 7: bought him with a lab. He was dead before the
Speaker 7: bullet ever was fired.
Speaker 2: Inspecta Mitchell then went back to the scene of the crime,
Speaker 2: in the alley beside the theater, where the body of
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Butler had been found, and with him at her
Speaker 2: own insistence, when Octavia Kenmore, where do you can make
Speaker 2: up the thin.
Speaker 8: Piece of rope?
Speaker 10: Of course they'll never find it.
Speaker 8: If a murderer had an answer, frames it takes.
Speaker 6: It with him.
Speaker 9: Pretty strange. Had so much light journ with the floor.
Speaker 2: It was strange men searching every cranny their flashlights, pointing.
Speaker 1: And probing, picking.
Speaker 2: Out glow work, balconies, iron ladders and fire escapes thick
Speaker 2: with rust, and then themselves still a wetted against the light.
Speaker 7: Oh mis ten more, Yes, we found this caught up
Speaker 7: in that balus trade. I think it's the weapon our
Speaker 7: lab can tell us definitely.
Speaker 4: Of course I see the piece of lesson that lash line.
Speaker 10: Did you say, yes? It's the sort of rope we.
Speaker 8: Use backstage to lash the scenery, the same as ordinary
Speaker 8: clothes line slash cordon.
Speaker 4: Would you be able to.
Speaker 6: Identify it as belonging to your stage equipment?
Speaker 10: That's hard to say.
Speaker 9: Kimboard in sickly as one of the stage hans opposed
Speaker 9: to be united. They had trouble with one of the sticks.
Speaker 9: The line was too short to make it fine.
Speaker 6: Would you locate that piece of scenvers?
Speaker 9: I think so.
Speaker 8: I told you to leave it on top of the
Speaker 8: stick so.
Speaker 9: That we could have spat it in the morning.
Speaker 4: Let's go on stage, then, shall we? Do you know
Speaker 4: it's kim more as a us I was strongly attached
Speaker 4: to the theater.
Speaker 10: Are you indeed, inspector little.
Speaker 1: They moved through the stage door under the platform.
Speaker 9: This is a flat but the one of the short
Speaker 9: lash lines you see hide works Inspector.
Speaker 10: The rope is slipped around.
Speaker 8: The iron cleats and tied off at the bottom, so
Speaker 8: the audience is only an unbroken more.
Speaker 7: I understand perfectly the core of this rope matches the
Speaker 7: piece found in the alley, Russ stains and all.
Speaker 8: What does that suggest to you?
Speaker 7: And think there's a little doubt in my mind, Miss
Speaker 7: ken Moore, that the person we want is a member
Speaker 7: of your own company.
Speaker 9: Yes, I decided that to myself.
Speaker 4: Some pome a member of your company. I think. Cut
Speaker 4: off this cordage, the strangled buttling, and someone.
Speaker 6: Else familiar with these premises took the pistol.
Speaker 4: From Ellis's death. You don't think by helping I haven't
Speaker 4: said that that I must check once more.
Speaker 7: Who actually was here backstage between the hours of six
Speaker 7: and seven.
Speaker 8: I'll hear myself my basin and smell of the door
Speaker 8: keepers on duty.
Speaker 4: He shine. He took his statement of course set basis.
Speaker 4: Now that I think of it, I won't shed a
Speaker 4: word against him.
Speaker 1: Smell is perfectly honest.
Speaker 10: I take an oath.
Speaker 7: Is he a remarker was sound sleeper all the time.
Speaker 7: The extraordinary thing about his story he claims to have
Speaker 7: been dozing in his chair. He didn't wait, even when
Speaker 7: a pistol was fired not thirty feet away.
Speaker 4: I think perhaps I'd better go and pissess him. No,
Speaker 4: Miss ken Moore, not this strip. Investigations of this kind.
Speaker 4: That's sometimes dangerous.
Speaker 2: The old man lived close by the theater four flights
Speaker 2: of world. Warn steps led to an attic door.
Speaker 4: What do you want? What is it? You're mister Snelling?
Speaker 4: I am where the priests. My name is Mitchell. See
Speaker 4: I d Should I show you my credentials?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: Why you recognize?
Speaker 6: You said?
Speaker 4: Come inside?
Speaker 2: John Snellen had no need to be afraid. But it
Speaker 2: was the natures of your timids. Nail an old man
Speaker 2: who wanted to avoid trouble. Sometimes when arguments occurred, it
Speaker 2: was his habit to pretend to be asleep in it
Speaker 2: covered hole behind the stage door.
Speaker 7: You will expect me to believe that when a pistol
Speaker 7: was fired close by you, you didn't even hear it.
Speaker 1: I can't write to say this.
Speaker 4: This heavy traffic in the street that time of night.
Speaker 4: You know, if I did hear a noise. I must
Speaker 4: have took it for a passing car.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'll admit that the likely explanation.
Speaker 4: Perhaps I orto. I guess what is his? If there's
Speaker 4: something you haven't told us, I advise you to come
Speaker 4: out with it.
Speaker 3: What had he seen?
Speaker 1: A trifle the possibly a trifle of importance, almost enough
Speaker 1: to send a man to the gallows.
Speaker 4: I know I should have spoke of it before, said that.
Speaker 7: Well, it was a little before seven o'clock, and mister
Speaker 7: Butchlan was inside near this toolbox talking to this fashy
Speaker 7: fresh sun fellow, and mister Sinjohn Carter he was there too.
Speaker 7: You're just standing by, so to speak.
Speaker 4: Could you hear what they were saying? No book making
Speaker 4: in this house? That was what patron said. Miss Kimmore
Speaker 4: won't stand for it. It's stripped about such.
Speaker 7: Things, yes, said, everyone knows that miss Kenmore won't have gambling.
Speaker 4: In her company and actually get himself.
Speaker 7: Discharged if she called him betting the horses or some
Speaker 7: such thing.
Speaker 4: What else said Bucklan, saying, well you warned that he
Speaker 4: goes straight to miss Kinmore.
Speaker 7: He said, how this man had been following the company
Speaker 7: all along the tour, and Carter and some of the
Speaker 7: others had been betting with him.
Speaker 4: The debt was. All three of them went out together,
Speaker 4: still talking, and that was the last you saw of
Speaker 4: him alive, Yes, said it was, and mister Art, it
Speaker 4: struck me at the time. He paying back a little.
Speaker 7: Later went out to which dessonal. My guess they went
Speaker 7: right out again. But he seem so cheerful and nice spirted.
Speaker 7: I thought that deveryone must have settled their differences all right.
Speaker 7: Hart didn't come back again till he found Butler's body
Speaker 7: and called the ambulance.
Speaker 4: That's right, so he.
Speaker 7: Begins to make sense ins fects again. Still, yes, but
Speaker 7: why the stage manager's gun? And why shoot a dead man?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 1: Why, indeed, why steal a gun to shoot a dead man.
Speaker 2: Hoping to find the answer to this question, the inspector
Speaker 2: went to Brighton Jail to call on Dada Dallas.
Speaker 4: Look here, inspector, why are you holding me without afraid
Speaker 4: of evidence? I'll have the admitted to travel with the
Speaker 4: company and the lead tonight. It all depends or what
Speaker 4: your applies to a few questions, ask them. By all
Speaker 4: means how much gambling goes out in the company.
Speaker 7: Not a great deal, How the actor was bitter usually
Speaker 7: down then, Actually, the salaries are so small they can't.
Speaker 4: Afford to be Rickles. Does miss Kenmore know about it?
Speaker 4: It's not a chance. If she did, we'd have replacements
Speaker 4: in a matter of minutes.
Speaker 7: It would follow them that an actor who wanted to
Speaker 7: keeper's job will be careful that such information never reached
Speaker 7: Miss Kenmore.
Speaker 4: I certainly say, sir, is there anyone in the company
Speaker 4: who needed that job badly? But you mean badly enough
Speaker 4: to commit murder?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 4: I doubt it. Of course, you never know.
Speaker 7: In truth like this one, most of the supporting cast,
Speaker 7: either on the way up or down a dismissal, might
Speaker 7: lean the end of a career.
Speaker 4: Ellis, has anyone a reason for wanting you out of
Speaker 4: the way?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 4: Well, why whatever?
Speaker 7: Sat gun was solen from your desk, loaded with live
Speaker 7: and emission, and after the murderer it was left where
Speaker 7: we'd be sure to find this and hold you responsible.
Speaker 7: I can't believe that anyone do a thing like that,
Speaker 7: unless unless no inspector there really isn't any well, indeed,
Speaker 7: well there is, though, no matter how clumsily he may
Speaker 7: have gone about it. I can't help feeling that our
Speaker 7: murderer has tried to pin his crime on you.
Speaker 4: For the moment, I am going to let him think
Speaker 4: he's succeeded. How do you do that? By keeping you?
Speaker 4: Got safely up here in jail.
Speaker 2: A short time later, Inspector Mitchell's admitted to Miss Kenmore
Speaker 2: as sweet sir for sure front hotel.
Speaker 10: Any progress to report, Inspector not much.
Speaker 4: I'm afraid do you meand I have? I left him
Speaker 4: in the best of hilth Why are you holding him? Dada?
Speaker 4: Didn't she anyone?
Speaker 9: You know that as well as I.
Speaker 4: I'm afraid I don't know it.
Speaker 7: I admit many murderers in my time, missus Ellis, most
Speaker 7: of them look quite as innocent as your husband. Besides,
Speaker 7: I have a hunch he could be somewhat more cooperative
Speaker 7: in free tell him. Is there anything you know that
Speaker 7: your husband might be concealing, or some well mistaken idea of.
Speaker 6: Gallantry, something perhaps concerning you?
Speaker 8: I no, I hardly think so. I seem to remember
Speaker 8: a melodramatic little scene I accidentally walked in on. Hoped
Speaker 8: that was nothing, just because Simson Kurt made some advances
Speaker 8: to me and David resented it.
Speaker 4: Oh, that may be more important than you think, missus innis.
Speaker 4: In fact, it may be a piece of information.
Speaker 2: I Inspector Mitchell thought that he knew the killer at last,
Speaker 2: But it takes evidence to bring.
Speaker 1: A man the court. Then Miss Kenmore made a helpful suggestion.
Speaker 4: You said you were a deputy of a theater, Inspector Mitchell,
Speaker 4: I am, indeed, ma'am.
Speaker 8: Did you buy any chance to see me? As lady teesall?
Speaker 4: I did a most marvelous performance?
Speaker 10: Then you recall, of course the third act.
Speaker 1: I have something of a crucial moment.
Speaker 2: And a famous play. When I'm standing behind the screen,
Speaker 2: the lady overheard a villain's treachery exposed. Such a dramatic
Speaker 2: devices might be used effectively off stage as well as on.
Speaker 1: The theater. Before the matinee the acting out began.
Speaker 4: Oh, I see, of course, Lucy, my dear, have given
Speaker 4: up hope for day by chast not at your.
Speaker 6: Still.
Speaker 4: I understand we're leaving Brighton.
Speaker 8: Please, I got enough discussing.
Speaker 7: Perhaps in his absence you won't mind so much by
Speaker 7: paying you little attention like the old days.
Speaker 8: Miss Kenmore was waiting.
Speaker 4: She wants to see you.
Speaker 10: What wants really?
Speaker 4: The great Miss Kimble that sounds on.
Speaker 8: Many It is she's breathing fire in Princeton?
Speaker 6: Is she?
Speaker 4: And it so happens. I came from a long line
Speaker 4: of fire eaters.
Speaker 2: Lead the way, My girl, Octavia Kenmore was seated at
Speaker 2: her makeup table. Behind her, the tiny dressing room was
Speaker 2: crowded with trunks and props and costumes in an alcohol
Speaker 2: hardly noticed.
Speaker 9: I stood a screen here he is, miss Keinmore.
Speaker 4: So I do see hello? What's the long face about?
Speaker 4: Nothing to do with me?
Speaker 8: I'm sure you've been placing bets on the races, mister Copper.
Speaker 8: Oh that's why I compel to dispense with your services.
Speaker 8: Here's your check, who return fair to London? Your understudy
Speaker 8: will replace you with the methanee. See here, you can't
Speaker 8: do this and a contract just check covers the terms
Speaker 8: of your contract.
Speaker 4: Miss kim Marre, whoever told you this was life?
Speaker 10: A man in danger of his life? Salem lies if.
Speaker 8: Ellis made the statutation, no David, your friend, your flashily
Speaker 8: dressed friends, who admits the book making and they shortly
Speaker 8: admit some murder?
Speaker 4: Oh so Morgans quel gassy if that's the word.
Speaker 8: Yes, I gather as ready to implicate you.
Speaker 6: You'll try that kind always does.
Speaker 7: He gets the killing your contract me and I was
Speaker 7: prayful already implicated quite serious in mister Kata and by
Speaker 7: your own word an action, oh.
Speaker 4: Wealth Inspector Mitchell, isn't it?
Speaker 10: What sort of game is this?
Speaker 8: A glorious game of play acting?
Speaker 6: Congratulations, miss Kim Moore, a very.
Speaker 4: Successful little playlist. You haven't got anything you can prove,
Speaker 4: no use bluffing. You took the pistol, didn't Joe from
Speaker 4: Ellis's desk and shot Buttling with this.
Speaker 6: I didn't kill him, you'd dead before. Who are under
Speaker 6: arrest mister.
Speaker 4: Carta and charge with wilful murder? It wasn't me, I
Speaker 4: tell you, Morgan choked him at Iu.
Speaker 6: Have roprin I'm much on certain him with the police
Speaker 6: organ had no license for.
Speaker 4: The previous record too.
Speaker 7: It would have been jail, but that you thought quickly,
Speaker 7: you'll try to take advantage of the situation. The prayme
Speaker 7: Mellis so the few will be clear with his wife.
Speaker 6: No, no, Carter.
Speaker 7: You may not have killed anyone, but you are an
Speaker 7: accessory out of the fact.
Speaker 4: And you did put a bullet to a man's heart.
Speaker 7: A delicate question for the jury to decide, but I
Speaker 7: predict you'll pay the penalty.
Speaker 4: Come along now and come quietly.
Speaker 1: Today.
Speaker 2: A piece of slash court, properly marked and ticketed, lies
Speaker 2: in a glass case in the Black Museum. People of
Speaker 2: the theater candy, and most often are fiercely loyal to
Speaker 2: one another.
Speaker 1: Octavia Kenmore was such a person. An actress manager.
Speaker 2: Accepted responsibility not only for her company's professional welfare, but
Speaker 2: so their personal happiness as well. Saint John Carter was
Speaker 2: an exception to the rule, but then his career had
Speaker 2: an exceptional ending, taking his final bow as he did
Speaker 2: on the platform thirteen steps high at eight o'clock.
Speaker 1: One winter evening.
Speaker 2: And now until we meet here again, another story from
Speaker 2: the Black As in her remainers always obediently yours
Speaker 7: H
