<v Speaker 1>care of you if you hurry. The requests have been
<v Speaker 1>pouring him like mad, literally by the thousands, No wonder.
<v Speaker 1>It's really a terrific offer. It's a calendar for nineteen
<v Speaker 1>forty five and forty six. It's in full color, and
<v Speaker 1>it tells you all you have to know about cooking
<v Speaker 1>with Petree Wine. Right to Petree Wine, p E t

<v Speaker 1>your recipe calendar to you immediately, and I'll let's drop
<v Speaker 1>in on our good friend, doctor Watson. Good evening, Doctor,
<v Speaker 1>good evening with the Foreman. Where the puppies, TONI well.
<v Speaker 2>I found them playing with a dead seagull, so they've
<v Speaker 2>been sent up to bed in disgrace.
<v Speaker 1>You certainly look comfortable yourself, doctor. What's that small blue
<v Speaker 1>book you're reading the latest best seller?
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, indeed not. This book was never the
<v Speaker 2>best seller, my boy. It's entitled Practical Handbook of d Culture.
<v Speaker 2>There's some observations on the segregation of the queens.
<v Speaker 1>Quite a catchy title.
<v Speaker 2>Who's the author by the name of the home He
<v Speaker 2>was engaged in writing it when the adventure I'm going
<v Speaker 2>to tell you about took place.
<v Speaker 1>But he told us last week, doctor that a pair
<v Speaker 1>of canaries played an important part in the story. It's
<v Speaker 1>quite right, mister Foreman.
<v Speaker 2>It was in the summer of nineteen hundred and eight,
<v Speaker 2>I remember, and I persuaded Homes to leave his Sussex
<v Speaker 2>d farm for a few weeks and to join me
<v Speaker 2>in the holiday.
<v Speaker 3>The little fishing village of Kingsgate in Kent.
<v Speaker 4>He was staying at a charming little inn called the
<v Speaker 4>Fisherman's Arms.
<v Speaker 2>And for the first few days our holiday was delightful.
<v Speaker 2>One and then.
<v Speaker 1>And then, I suppose, doctor, strange things began to happen.
<v Speaker 2>They did, indeed, mister Foreman, they did.
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, that is strange thing.
<v Speaker 2>One afternoon, we just finished the late tea, I remember,
<v Speaker 2>and were sitting outside on the lawn, sunning ourselves and
<v Speaker 2>enjoying our pipes. Homes laid back with his long, thin
<v Speaker 2>fingers cast behind his head, gazing thought play at the
<v Speaker 2>multi colored fishing boat bobbing at anchor in the harbor.
<v Speaker 2>After a moment of.
<v Speaker 1>What's splendid, companion, I can't think of anyone else who
<v Speaker 1>would let me spook my type in silence for half
<v Speaker 1>an hour about asking me what I'm thinking about.
<v Speaker 2>That's not very surprising, Homes, after all the years it's
<v Speaker 2>been together.
<v Speaker 1>Nevertheless, the gift is a rare one on chap and
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate.
<v Speaker 2>Oh thank you.
<v Speaker 3>Hell.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, since the halfas up, what have you
<v Speaker 2>been thinking about?
<v Speaker 1>A lack of enterprise of modern criminal audasitting in Romantine
<v Speaker 1>will pass forever from the criminal world. Read this note
<v Speaker 1>I received this morning, old fellow, give to yourself how
<v Speaker 1>low I have sunk to look?
<v Speaker 2>It's the home I am staying in the same inn
<v Speaker 2>as yourself, and as I have had a very frightening
<v Speaker 2>e speience this is week, I thought perhaps.
<v Speaker 3>You would help me please do.
<v Speaker 2>It's signed Mary Victor.
<v Speaker 1>An exciting document, isn't it? But non under notepaper reading
<v Speaker 1>a perfume on the handwriting is obviously that of an
<v Speaker 1>adolescent girl.
<v Speaker 2>You haven't bothered to answer, of.
<v Speaker 1>Course, Oh yes I have. I sent a message backed
<v Speaker 1>by our good landlord, and I was glad to see her.
<v Speaker 2>Why home came down here to complete your hand for
<v Speaker 2>can't bee farming?
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Can't found it? That's who wretched? Can there is
<v Speaker 1>getting their sun bout on the window sill above us?
<v Speaker 4>Well you could throw the jolly fellows chirping away up,
<v Speaker 4>I find the sound most specking le's go inside. You
<v Speaker 4>know homes those birds owned by a charming couple and
<v Speaker 4>mister and missus Wainwright.
<v Speaker 1>I was chatting with him on the.
<v Speaker 4>Stairs this morning, and I've fed their charmer escape as
<v Speaker 4>long as their pets continue to tweet in that irritating manner.
<v Speaker 1>I've spoken of a piece and quiet of the country
<v Speaker 1>in Watson, and yet I find it. Come in ah this, Mary, Victor.
<v Speaker 1>I presume he's coming towards the door. Won't you thank you?
<v Speaker 1>This is Michael friend, doctor Watson. You may speak quite
<v Speaker 1>binni in front of him?
<v Speaker 3>How do you do say too?
<v Speaker 1>How do you do?
<v Speaker 5>Doctor?
<v Speaker 1>Sit down, young lady and tell me what's coubbing you,
<v Speaker 1>Mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 6>I came down here from London to get away from somewhere,
<v Speaker 6>but I've been followed.
<v Speaker 1>I've been afraid to leave.
<v Speaker 6>The inn until last night. I thought I couldn't stand
<v Speaker 6>being cooked up any long, so I went for a
<v Speaker 6>walk in the seashore. Someone followed me, mister Holmes. I
<v Speaker 6>ran back here as fast as I could, but now
<v Speaker 6>he knows where I live, and I'm frightened.
<v Speaker 1>Please help me, my Dames Victor, and I'm afraid you
<v Speaker 1>must be much more specific before I can help you.
<v Speaker 1>Who has followed you down here? And why are you
<v Speaker 1>afraid of him?
<v Speaker 6>I'll tell you the whole story.
<v Speaker 1>It sounds strange to you, but I swear it.
<v Speaker 3>I'll be again down for the gate.
<v Speaker 6>I'm going to my room now, now, now, now, don't
<v Speaker 6>you be fighting miss Victor.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure we'll be. First of all, I.
<v Speaker 1>Don't see anyone outside who might frightened the two three
<v Speaker 1>fishermen liking about. Wait a minute, here's a young fellow
<v Speaker 1>walking up the path. Come on, watch them answer the frenchman.
<v Speaker 3>Again.
<v Speaker 1>I think we'll take a liperty of accosting him. Excuse me, sir, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>are you looking for miss Mary Victor? Young and pretty?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, sir, she is extremis her and I'm looking for her.
<v Speaker 1>Where can I find her? I can see your being facetious, sir. Well,
<v Speaker 1>there's no harm in that is there?
<v Speaker 7>By the way, who are you, gentlemen?
<v Speaker 1>May I ask? My name is Holmes, and this is
<v Speaker 1>my friend, doctor Watson.
<v Speaker 7>I'm dazzled, Carter, you're not Sherlock holmbs are you?
<v Speaker 1>That is my name?
<v Speaker 7>I thought you seemed familiar. I know your brother Mike
<v Speaker 7>Craft indeed, and.
<v Speaker 1>I presume you're connected to the Foreign Office.
<v Speaker 7>Yes, I'm in the consular service.
<v Speaker 2>Are you staying at the ill young man for a
<v Speaker 2>few days?
<v Speaker 7>It's funny that I run into the great Sherlock Holmes.
<v Speaker 1>I may ask I was.
<v Speaker 7>Planning a murder, hopefully, but with a gentleman, here, I
<v Speaker 7>see that I shall have to be very discreet.
<v Speaker 1>Who is your intended victim? Man CHOI?

<v Speaker 7>to have met you both.
<v Speaker 1>I well see you again, Goodbye, goodbye, good bye.

<v Speaker 2>Could you look on his face when you asked me?
<v Speaker 3>He was looking for Mary Victor.
<v Speaker 1>There's only one person who can stuffle the question, and
<v Speaker 1>that's the end. Lady yourself. Come on, old fellow, let's
<v Speaker 1>go back and dotch.
<v Speaker 3>He comes waynright then, Good.
<v Speaker 1>Evening with good evening, gentlemen.
<v Speaker 2>This is my friends, the Sherlock Home.
<v Speaker 1>I'm honored to meet you, sir. How do you do,
<v Speaker 1>mister Wainwright? Beautiful evening, isn't it? I just took a
<v Speaker 1>stroll down to the store to get some more bird seed.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, mister Holmes, I hope I caneries.
<v Speaker 3>Don't bother you.
<v Speaker 1>Little fellows are such comfort to my wife and me.
<v Speaker 1>I find that chirping very soothy. I am so glad.
<v Speaker 1>Good night, gentlemen, good night, good night, mister Wilson.
<v Speaker 3>Not Wilson, mister Holmes, Wayne right White.
<v Speaker 1>Think your pardon. I'm so sorry. I thought you said Wilson,
<v Speaker 1>good night.
<v Speaker 2>Not like you to mix up names.
<v Speaker 1>Home, I didn't mix them up, O fellow, I never
<v Speaker 1>forget a face, mister Wainwright is in reality Wilson the
<v Speaker 1>notorious Kneed Rayner might have the pleasure of sending to
<v Speaker 1>prison for seven years fetch ninety five some years later.
<v Speaker 1>You need one of them as spectacular escapes from prison
<v Speaker 1>in the history of crime, and has since managed to
<v Speaker 1>evade all efforts to recapture Emily.
<v Speaker 2>He seems the sweet old.
<v Speaker 1>Possibly is performed, but I doubted our stage is set
<v Speaker 1>for an freaking problem old chat, and our cast is
<v Speaker 1>an interesting one, a fighting young girl, a diplomat of
<v Speaker 1>uncertain integrity, and a noted criminal Watson. I have a
<v Speaker 1>feeling that once again the games are put.
<v Speaker 2>Homes. Why are we strolling along the pier and seat
<v Speaker 2>of saying it in? I thought you said that you
<v Speaker 2>would expect your trouble.
<v Speaker 1>I have old chat and I'm sure if we'll find
<v Speaker 1>us out.
<v Speaker 3>You know, homes.
<v Speaker 4>I'm still completely mysterified now the behavior of that girl
<v Speaker 4>married Victor I.
<v Speaker 2>Locked at the door last year, only again this morning.
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't get any answer, and the Manli told me
<v Speaker 1>that she had not seen a finner last night, nor
<v Speaker 1>at breakfast this morning, and yet her room not invocated.
<v Speaker 4>Curious, Hello, Villa's comfortable sunning himself at the end of

<v Speaker 4>To take us hundred and very appreciative of the weather
<v Speaker 4>that you provided for us.

<v Speaker 3>I was reading one of your friend's stories about you
<v Speaker 3>last night, the one called the Adventure of Mysterior Lodge.

<v Speaker 2>Look with that figure standing by itself right at the
<v Speaker 2>end of the fire.

<v Speaker 3>these going on. And Keith, come on here you what

<v Speaker 1>Guys say I'm not afraid of fire, and he says, sergeant,
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to cyfle with Just exactly what are
<v Speaker 1>you up to? Wilson. You caught up with me once
<v Speaker 1>in cage Sherlock Holmes, But this time you're not going

<v Speaker 1>maybe the gallows if I can't tap you, and I'll
<v Speaker 1>take my own way off with this Rover put someone

<v Speaker 1>last night I did it? Murder confessing in front of
<v Speaker 1>the three of you, or you'll leave my wife alone.
<v Speaker 1>He didn't know anything about it.
<v Speaker 3>Now, I hope you're satisfied mister Sherlock Holmes, he's pulling
<v Speaker 3>the revolver as heison.
<v Speaker 1>To full stop it.
<v Speaker 3>Sull me think he done it over ap peering into
<v Speaker 3>the sky.
<v Speaker 1>Good help, Sergeant Possibly isn't good by? Come on, Watson
<v Speaker 1>so much lean first, possire. We just heard a murder
<v Speaker 1>confession that we don't know who has been looking.
<v Speaker 2>What was the telegram that you you sent off just now?
<v Speaker 1>A message to my brother mi car You can't keep
<v Speaker 1>it informed me the chattle cart of the young diplomat
<v Speaker 1>when we've met yesterday and rather hurriedly in the early
<v Speaker 1>hours of this morning. Come on, let's go upstairs.
<v Speaker 3>Oh, we'll have to break the news to missus.
<v Speaker 1>Wayne, right, I suppose before we do that, I think
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if miss Victor's in her room? Which one
<v Speaker 1>is it?
<v Speaker 2>Here top of the stairs.
<v Speaker 1>Hmm. This will take the liberty of looking in. The
<v Speaker 1>Victor has been seen since last night. Uh huh, I'm not.
<v Speaker 2>Lord with a mess that stood all over the place,
<v Speaker 2>open suitcase.
<v Speaker 1>Look that the young lady had been planning an immediate departure.
<v Speaker 2>Well did you be I won't see us this last night?
<v Speaker 1>Oh?
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I beg your pardon gentlemen, I thought I had
<v Speaker 5>many dictor come in missus.
<v Speaker 3>Way, I'm afraid we have rather bad news for you.
<v Speaker 1>Your husband shot himself a quarter of an hour ago
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the pier, and his body fell
<v Speaker 1>into the sea. Is he dead? We must presume so, madam.
<v Speaker 1>I left his sergeant there searching for him. Sergeant Blake
<v Speaker 1>put back here in a moment.
<v Speaker 3>Now very all don't seem to a surprise, madam.
<v Speaker 5>And he threatened to do it.
<v Speaker 1>This is wain right. Before your husband shot himself, he
<v Speaker 1>consisted committing a murder in this inn last night. A murder.
<v Speaker 1>Who is murdered the moment.
<v Speaker 2>We're not quite sure.
<v Speaker 1>He must have been out of his mind, right. I'm
<v Speaker 1>afraid I must to ask you some rather painful questions.
<v Speaker 1>Are you aware that your husband is a criminal, That
<v Speaker 1>he served a prison sentence under the name of Wilson
<v Speaker 1>sign you there.
<v Speaker 5>He told me when we were married two years ago.
<v Speaker 5>But he said that he'd gone straight ever since he'd
<v Speaker 5>come out of prison. That's why he changed his name.
<v Speaker 5>He was trying to make a fish start.
<v Speaker 2>You know, no reason for his trying to kill anyone else.
<v Speaker 5>To him, none And unless you find someone murdered, I
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't get too much thought to it.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, if you'll forget my saying to Adam, you seem
<v Speaker 1>remarkably unmoved by your husband's tragedy.
<v Speaker 5>Why should pretend we were very happy together?
<v Speaker 1>This might be the best way out of it for both.
<v Speaker 5>My husband came quite a large amount of life insurance
<v Speaker 5>in the event of suicide.
<v Speaker 1>Would that be terrible? Depends on a policy. Madam. Then
<v Speaker 1>I must say that from your attitude, I begin to
<v Speaker 1>doubt that your husband is dead. What do you mean?
<v Speaker 1>I mean that if mister Wilson, or if you prefer it,
<v Speaker 1>mister Wainwright wished to disappear in spectacular style, what could
<v Speaker 1>be simpler than to pretend to shoot himself? Talk into
<v Speaker 1>the I'm a pure sergeant.
<v Speaker 3>Did you find him, mister m He picked him out
<v Speaker 3>right away. There is your door name. Shot himself to
<v Speaker 3>the eddy. That's disposes of your last sturning home.
<v Speaker 1>Did you find the revolver?
<v Speaker 3>Sergeant got it right here with me. One bullet mission.
<v Speaker 3>You found out if anyone is been murdered, mister yet,
<v Speaker 3>wait a.
<v Speaker 1>Moment, listen, I don't hear any jack, you hear nothing
<v Speaker 1>yet we're within a few feet of the Wainwright's room.
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean there's one sound we should be hearing,
<v Speaker 1>very serious the moment, why, I think before, the sound
<v Speaker 1>of your canary is chirping. You've heard it else for days.
<v Speaker 1>Come on, Watson, where are you fine? You're a marable,
<v Speaker 1>my faide anister dispensed with asking your permission.
<v Speaker 5>You're already in my room. It seems a little light
<v Speaker 5>even to mention the subject.
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, Chad, if you have my you'll see them
<v Speaker 1>on the bottom of the cage.
<v Speaker 2>Let me up the stone, get one of them out,
<v Speaker 2>Joe home. They're dead.
<v Speaker 1>And yet when we entered the inn a few minutes
<v Speaker 1>ago there was still chipping.
<v Speaker 2>But who on earth would want to kill a couple
<v Speaker 2>of birds?
<v Speaker 1>That, my dear fellow, is one of the things we
<v Speaker 1>have to find out so far. I must admit I'm puzzled.
<v Speaker 1>We have a self confessed murderer. Now the nearest thing
<v Speaker 1>we can find to a corpse with a pair of
<v Speaker 1>dead canaries.
<v Speaker 3>We'll bring you the rest of doctor Watson's story in.
<v Speaker 1>Just a second. A second i'll take if you don't mind,
<v Speaker 1>to ask you if you've ever had a glass of
<v Speaker 1>Petree California's sherry. Because if you haven't, boy, you want
<v Speaker 1>a remedy that situation, Prato, try that Petree sherry before
<v Speaker 1>dinner some evening. Look at its clear amber color, Smell
<v Speaker 1>the fragrances luscious grape, and get a sample of that
<v Speaker 1>Petree flavor. Mmmm. That pet sherry can turn the usual
<v Speaker 1>before dim law into a main event. And say, if
<v Speaker 1>you like your sherry dry as I do, wait to
<v Speaker 1>taste Petree pale dry sherry. Is that ever good? But
<v Speaker 1>after all, when it's a Petree wine, it's always a
<v Speaker 1>good wine. And I'll back to tonight's new Sherlock Holmes Adventure.
<v Speaker 1>Strange events are taking place in the Kentish fishing village
<v Speaker 1>of Kingsgate. A self confessed murderer has committed suicide, but
<v Speaker 1>his victim cannot be found. As we rejoin our story,
<v Speaker 1>the Great Detective and his old friend doctor Watson are
<v Speaker 1>once again examining the room of Merry Victor, one of
<v Speaker 1>the missing guests.
<v Speaker 2>You know how the murder that Wilson confessed to before
<v Speaker 2>he committed suicide might be the chilliers to clear him.
<v Speaker 1>I think not, Old Chap Wilson obviously loved the creatures
<v Speaker 1>and keept him in spite of the banks that they
<v Speaker 1>were dangerously after my day time with his criminal FAUSTU
<v Speaker 1>huh interesting, very interesting? Hm. Woll you fund this note
<v Speaker 1>lying on the Sixtus dressing table?
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>So we look.
<v Speaker 2>Do you think you can hide from me?
<v Speaker 6>Mary?
<v Speaker 1>But you can't.
<v Speaker 3>Wherever I go I shall follow you.
<v Speaker 5>So why not get wise to.
<v Speaker 2>Yourself and stop running away?
<v Speaker 3>So as if the poor girl was in danger right
<v Speaker 3>part of there.
<v Speaker 1>But the writer of that note me obliging. So the
<v Speaker 1>letter is unsigned, at least gives us a clue to
<v Speaker 1>his identified. The phrase get wise to yourself is very
<v Speaker 1>un English. It's American. Come old chap, where we go?
<v Speaker 3>Now?
<v Speaker 1>The envelope to this letter have the King's get postmark
<v Speaker 1>on it. I shall be surprised if that fount of
<v Speaker 1>all knowledge, the very postmistress, can't help us find an
<v Speaker 1>American visitor.
<v Speaker 6>Oh, yes, I.
<v Speaker 5>Here the young man. You must be looking forwarding to
<v Speaker 5>many Nun's water see bunker, and he's being here to
<v Speaker 5>send telegrams. And his excellents are strong.
<v Speaker 1>You could cut it with the life.
<v Speaker 5>It's just like one of the Indian fellows cancer and
<v Speaker 5>he's been rumined, Missus Beale, fifteen laburnum grove and down
<v Speaker 5>behind the.
<v Speaker 1>Guest with fifteen groove, Missus Bell, thank you, thank you
<v Speaker 1>very much. I'm very much obliged you all.
<v Speaker 6>Yes, what can I do to you? Gentlemen?
<v Speaker 2>Well, we understand that mister Walter Bunker has been staying
<v Speaker 2>with you.
<v Speaker 6>Madam, is a nice young American gentleman, is it?
<v Speaker 1>How may I ask?
<v Speaker 6>No, sir, I'm not worried about him. This morning when
<v Speaker 6>he goes out, he asks me what the nearest cemetery is.
<v Speaker 6>I'll tell you, and then he gives a queer kind
<v Speaker 6>of laugh.
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure i'll see.
<v Speaker 6>You anymore, he says, and then he walks off. And
<v Speaker 6>I haven't seen him. See I'll tell you I'm worried
<v Speaker 6>about in gentlemen.

<v Speaker 1>names of the couple just married.
<v Speaker 3>Miss Merry, think you're from the game, and the young
<v Speaker 3>American by the name of Dunker. Thank you.
<v Speaker 1>As we have been following a false trail confounded backing.
<v Speaker 1>Young lady was merely frightened by her persistant American fiancee
<v Speaker 1>being left of city center and thinking were still worded.
<v Speaker 1>When you come to think of it, anyway, we can
<v Speaker 1>cease to worry about this picture. And she is now
<v Speaker 1>missus Bunker. I think we can assume that she's out
<v Speaker 1>all danger.
<v Speaker 2>We've got to start all over.
<v Speaker 3>Agin.
<v Speaker 1>No, no, my dear fellow. The field is narrowing. We'll
<v Speaker 1>head back to the inn now, and I have a
<v Speaker 1>feeling that we are on the last lap of our
<v Speaker 1>strange adventure.

<v Speaker 1>She has another suspect eliminated till Vanish from my brother Micraft,
<v Speaker 1>and I telegraphed him earlier on today check on the
<v Speaker 1>movements of the National Kaza. The young man who left
<v Speaker 1>the inn so mysteriously in the early hours of this morning.
<v Speaker 1>His answering forms myth that the gentleman in question was
<v Speaker 1>recalled to the Foreign Office suddenly and arrived quite safely
<v Speaker 1>a few hours ago. Oh no, I'm complete person, and
<v Speaker 1>I all followed at last. See daylight wish are I did,
<v Speaker 1>mister lad and go upstairs and get bad man's widow
<v Speaker 1>and bring for my rumpies. And then I think I
<v Speaker 1>can give you the solution to this problem. What do
<v Speaker 1>you put me, mister Erms, this is madam you and
<v Speaker 1>Sage and Blake make yourselves comfortable now in the first place.
<v Speaker 1>To murder occurred this morning and that last night.
<v Speaker 5>I know we're talked thinking at the canaries. I ad
<v Speaker 5>knit I killed them, but you can't do anything to
<v Speaker 5>me for that.
<v Speaker 1>Why did you kill those birds?
<v Speaker 3>I hated them as.
<v Speaker 5>Much as my husband loved them. When I knew he
<v Speaker 5>was dead, they're seeing Johnny mad so I killed them.
<v Speaker 2>Must have been already dead when we told you your husband, Suso.
<v Speaker 1>Watson, that the lady was fully aware that her husband
<v Speaker 1>was dead when we informed her of the fact, You see.
<v Speaker 5>She murdered him.
<v Speaker 1>You're talking rubbish, mister Elm.
<v Speaker 3>How could she have married him? We saw him sued
<v Speaker 3>himself before eyes.
<v Speaker 1>Because when Wilson raised that revolver to his head. He
<v Speaker 1>was convinced that it contained blank cartridges, and fortunately for him,
<v Speaker 1>his wife had deliberately replaced the blanks with live cartridges. Great, healn,
<v Speaker 1>Why let me reconstruct the case for you. Wilson with
<v Speaker 1>the connie of his wife here and had concived the
<v Speaker 1>disappearance blood. He knew that I had spotted his real identity,
<v Speaker 1>and so he planned this rather dramatic exit, confessed for
<v Speaker 1>a non existent murder, and then well had his plan materialized.
<v Speaker 1>He was to shoot himself with a bank all from
<v Speaker 1>the pier and a talent suicide, A fantastic deman. How
<v Speaker 1>did he panally get away? He would have swum under
<v Speaker 1>the water safe distance and so made his escape. Oh,
<v Speaker 1>his plan couldn't work possible, Baba babah blah. But at
<v Speaker 1>least it was ingenious. He would have destroyed his true
<v Speaker 1>identity and had his revenge on me by making the
<v Speaker 1>search for a murder that had never been committed. Unfortunately
<v Speaker 1>for him, his wife as his accompass and saw in
<v Speaker 1>the scheme an excellent way of killing her husband.
<v Speaker 5>You think you're so very clever, mister Holmes. But if
<v Speaker 5>it were true, how could you prove it?
<v Speaker 1>Observe this rebulber, Missus Wilson, he's the one your husband
<v Speaker 1>shot himself with.
<v Speaker 3>What can you prove from that?
<v Speaker 1>Have a heard of fingerprint tests?
<v Speaker 5>I've had of them, but that revolve has been underwater?
<v Speaker 1>True, quite true. But thanks to the researching my excellent
<v Speaker 1>friend doctor John Thondyke, an infallible test has been discovered
<v Speaker 1>for recording fingerprints even after emotion and see water. I
<v Speaker 1>applied the test to the Prince on the revolver and
<v Speaker 1>the bullets and compared them with some that we found
<v Speaker 1>on the water glass in your room. They are the same,
<v Speaker 1>Missus Wilson. Now does a man let his wife load
<v Speaker 1>his suicide weapon? Such a break? I think it's obvious
<v Speaker 1>that the time has come for you to take over
<v Speaker 1>the case. All right, all right?
<v Speaker 5>So I did times to build a sie hated him.
<v Speaker 5>I'm glad he said, what's my juice again?
<v Speaker 3>Break? Now that, I'll tell you, Missus whitson to the stasion.
<v Speaker 1>Booked you on a murder chard.
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if you'd mind answering a question this thing
<v Speaker 3>I like to know about that I never heard of
<v Speaker 3>being able to take Prince Arthur. A revolver has been
<v Speaker 3>handled too or three times and soaked in short war films.
<v Speaker 2>And I'd like to know when you performed the test
<v Speaker 2>and took the Prince off the glass in the room.
<v Speaker 1>I thought that I was with you all time. You will,
<v Speaker 1>my dear fellow. Well, then I didn't you do the answer?
<v Speaker 1>In one word, there is no such test, my dear Watson.
<v Speaker 1>It would be almost impossible to expect color prince answer
<v Speaker 1>so much handling, and totally appossible after submission. Fortunately for us, though,
<v Speaker 1>missus Wilson was double enough to believe me and give
<v Speaker 1>me a confession.
<v Speaker 2>And there's no such person as doctor John Formed.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, yes, indeed there is a great succession year
<v Speaker 1>in the case of the Red Tark told me about
<v Speaker 1>that case. No, no, no, I didn't. It was deliberate,
<v Speaker 1>don't yet, with your taste for writing sensational stories, I
<v Speaker 1>was afraid you might publish the affair. Oh yes, it would.
<v Speaker 1>You would have given away once I say, professional secrets.
<v Speaker 1>You would have provided the public, and in particular the
<v Speaker 1>criminal public, with a complete education the Prince. And when
<v Speaker 1>that happens, my dear Watson, we shall have no trick
<v Speaker 1>clipped that will be a sad day for detictives. The
<v Speaker 1>Night Sherlock Holmes Adventure is written by Dennis Green and
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Boucher and is based on an incident in the
