Sherlock Holmes - Murder in Wax

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

<v Speaker 2>and for the Patrick family. There are no words to
<v Speaker 2>describe how much our country owes our servicemen and to
<v Speaker 2>all of you. The Patrie family wants to say, just
<v Speaker 2>as every American wants to say, thanks for a swell job. Well,
