1
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.800
Ah, it's another good evening here. Where am I? Well, I

2
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:19.199
don't rightly know, but I do
know that I'm always on your radio dial

3
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.640
if you're willing to look, that
is. And you sure are curious sorts,

4
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:30.280
And I thank you for joining me. It can be a bit lonely

5
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:36.039
here all by myself, but thanks
to you folks and my trusty microphone that

6
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:44.240
somehow still works, we're together together, and we're ready for another fun and

7
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:50.759
scary story, a story that I
find myself feeling a little connection to it.

8
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:56.359
You see, it's called the old
ones are hard to kill, and

9
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:03.640
from experience, I can tell you
that's very much the case. Anyway,

10
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.079
my dear, what was that?
No, no, no, no,

11
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.879
don't you worry at all. The
temperature will gradually rise as I put a

12
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.599
few more logs in the fire.
No, no, no, The only

13
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:18.879
thing you should concern yourself was is
being comfortable. Comfortable, Get as comfortable

14
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.599
as you can, and I'll worry
about being the temperature. Temperature, my

15
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:30.159
dear dear, But now I think
it's about time go on lean back.

16
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.239
I know I will and enjoy this
little piece of old time. Fear.

17
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:45.959
Yes, indeed, it's a this
is a good need and now here the

18
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.760
act one of the old ones,
hard to Kill. It begins with a

19
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:57.719
stethoscope, a blood pressure reading,
an electoral podiogram, and then all together

20
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:05.400
satisfying with on the health of missus
Ada can be well. Can't see anything

21
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.000
to complain about that. That little
congestion you had a lot of time,

22
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.240
it's all cleared up. All in
all, I'd say you're doing fine for

23
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.039
a woman my age. I mean, the older the chicken, the tuppert

24
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.280
is to kill. That's what my
grandmother used to tell me, and she

25
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.879
lived to be ninety eight. Speaking
of relatives, you will see much of

26
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:30.319
water. My grandson, Oh the
usual once a year visit. He always

27
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.120
comes up with the same complaint,
what's happened? I shouldn't be living all

28
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:40.520
alone? Because yours must get pretty
lonely sometimes. Well, the truth is,

29
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.879
doctor George, I'm not alone there, you're not. I decided taking

30
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.599
the border last month. Really,
I haven't written Walter about it. I'm

31
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.080
sure it objected. I taken him
a stranger, but there's really nothing wrong

32
00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.800
with mister Paulson. Accept his health. Maybe is the help. What's wrong

33
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.360
with him? Oh? The poor
man's had a terrible cold for the past

34
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.759
two weeks. It might be a
good things for him, though, No

35
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.159
where did you meet this, mister
Fulton? He answer the ad I ram

36
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.400
is this back from South America?
Been living in Brazil for years. You're

37
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:22.719
a very nice gentleman. Really,
he keeps themselves and tends his birds.

38
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.240
Here's the loadliest blue parakeets. You
can hear them chipping all over the house.

39
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.080
It's the friendly song. Well,
I don't see anything wrong with what

40
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.319
you are doing that. Just make
sure you don't go and catch the man's

41
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.560
cold. There's not much chance of
ad The poor man hardly releaves his room.

42
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.439
Well, how much do oh you? I'll send you the bill.

43
00:03:46.759 --> 00:04:01.719
I'm sure you'll forget all about it. Promise me you'll send it. Oh,

44
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:12.879
dear mister Paul, are you all
right? Yes, missus Casey,

45
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.279
I'm all right. That's what's an
alchemy? Why don't you let me fix

46
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.000
your little hot milk and honey?
No, thank you, mister Canby,

47
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.519
Thanks very much. I'm going to
try to get some sleep. Well,

48
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.319
all right, if you say so, I guess it's time. I was

49
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:46.800
in bed myself. My listener,
that form man, what if he keeps

50
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:56.920
his birds away to make is he
calling me, Cabery, He is calling

51
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:02.240
me. I'm coming, mister Paulson. Oh no, where those don slippers.

52
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:10.839
I'll be right there. What what
is this, mister Poulson? What's

53
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:17.199
the matter can be? Mister Pulson, Just look at you? Why didn't

54
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.160
you tell me it was the sick? I would have called a doctor too

55
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:27.120
late. Now I know a very
good doctor. I saw him only this

56
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:32.399
afternoon. I'll go and call him
right now. I've got to get help

57
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:40.759
for you, mister calf dying confusion? Do you want to preach? Is

58
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:46.079
that what you want? Richardson murdered
ten years ago? What murder? I

59
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.879
didn't die? Killed him for money? I was paid. Did you hear

60
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:56.360
me? Oh lord, mister Paulson, do you know what you're saying?

61
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:04.519
Do you understand me? And I
killed richards and nothing down it? We

62
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.839
get help and you can tell them
yourself, mister Polsham, and the police

63
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:14.199
and the doctor, tell them,
please tell them to free and dow he's

64
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.439
innocent. Tell them I'm the one
who killed Richardson ten years ago. I

65
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:24.120
don't know anything about such things.
And I know why did it die?

66
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.600
Killed Richardson. I don't know.
I don't want to hear it. I

67
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:38.040
don't please don't tell mister Paulton,
mister Polson, Oh, dear God,

68
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:53.600
I just go. Those poor little
things. I suppose they miss poor mister

69
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.759
Polson. I'll lay them in his
room. Well, let's see it,

70
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.959
this fluttered doll. Dear Walter,
I hope you don't mind my turning to

71
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:10.199
you for advice, but I really
don't know what to do. It's been

72
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.879
three days since my board mister Paulsam
passed away, and I still haven't told

73
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.319
the police what the man said to
me. I just can't bring myself to

74
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:25.319
get mixed up in anything like that. Dear, what's the use of writing,

75
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:30.040
Walter? He'll probably think I've dreamed
it all up. Now I'll just

76
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:36.199
forget her. Only, how do
you forget such a thing? Those names?

77
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:43.560
I keep hearing them. Richardson,
Lindell, Lindell is anything, Dear

78
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:49.519
God, it's all true. If
mister Paulsam actually murdered this Richardson and Lindell

79
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:56.800
is innocent. Only, well,
who are they? I wonder it's a

80
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:03.839
telephone book whip? Why not?
Let's see Richardson mature, I see that

81
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.439
say yeah, yes, your kids. Oh lord just doesn't doesn't Well,

82
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.519
I'll try Lyndell, I wouldn't be
as common as those both. Yes,

83
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.680
yes, here it is. They're
tell me about half a dozen then know

84
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:26.120
the l Oh my heavens. Lyndell
and Richardson both names together, Lyndell and

85
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:33.919
Richardson investments nine concourse four one five, three, one three two. I

86
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:56.519
wonder if well, maybe maybe it's
the only way to be sure. Oh

87
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:03.480
h hello, I mean I s
to uh, mister Lindell, he isn't

88
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:11.919
well, then what about mister Richardson? Oh I see, well, is

89
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.759
there someone there I can speak to? Yes? Gets please? Thank you?

90
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:24.480
And miss tell Thomas, well,
maybe you can. I want to

91
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.039
know about your mister Richardson, about
when he died. I think I did

92
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.000
business with him once, a long
time ago. Oh it's ten years.

93
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:39.039
I'm just about But if you're interested
in investment of mine, well I think

94
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:45.399
about it, Thank you very much. Ten years. Well, it could

95
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:56.480
be a coincidence. I guess it
all depends on how he died. I

96
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.960
have seen any Thank well. Now, how can we be of help to

97
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.720
you? Well, I didn't come
here to get help, mister cheltam,

98
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.320
I came to help you as a
matter of fact, or rather somebody you

99
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.480
know, who would that be mister
John Lindell, the man who was supposed

100
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.879
to have murdered mister Richardson. I'm
afraid I'm not following you. Well,

101
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.879
it took me all week to find
out what's happened to those two men,

102
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:30.399
and finally I found the story in
the whole newspaper room down the library about

103
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:35.559
mister Lindell being indicted for killing his
partner. But I'm sure you know the

104
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.360
whole story a lot better than I
do. Well, of course I know

105
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:43.000
the story, but that was quite
a long time ago, missus canby ten

106
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:48.799
years don't seems so long when you're
my age. Anyway. The point is

107
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.600
that I can help your mister Lindell, only I can't do it alone.

108
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.600
Did you know John Lyndo? Oh
No, I didn't know mister Richardson.

109
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.840
For that matter. The man I
knew was named Paulson, who I ran

110
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.559
a new room to mister Poulson,
and he died about eight days ago of

111
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.159
pneumonia. I was there when it
happened. Well, that's unfortunate, but

112
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.080
to be sure, he died mister
Polson told me something about mister Richardson's murder.

113
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.840
He said mister Lindell hadn't been responsible, that he mister Poulson, had

114
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:30.080
committed it for money. Oh,
missus listened to me. It was this

115
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.360
man Lindell that bothered him, the
fact that he was in prison for something

116
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.000
he didn't do. I thought I
should tell you this, mister Jelman,

117
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.399
because you knew both of these gentlemen. It said so in the newspaper.

118
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:50.879
Missus can't be my my dear woman. Why. I don't know what chilly

119
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.240
story you heard, but it's completely
wrong. There wasn't any question about what

120
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.679
happened. His Order of yours whatever
his name is, really had an obsession.

121
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.120
Well, just the same. I
thought you could follow through on this.

122
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.360
Tell the police, because if it
is true, mister Lindell shouldn't be

123
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:18.120
freed on evidence like that. I
don't know anything about evidence. I'm just

124
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:24.200
telling you with a heard Oh well, never mind. I suppose I should

125
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.679
have told the police myself. Wait, this can be. Let me put

126
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:35.759
your mind at rest. John Lindell
is no longer in prison deism. He's

127
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.919
dead, Missus canby. He's been
dead for the last three years. Oh,

128
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.399
he wasn't a young man when all
this happened. When he accused his

129
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.399
partner Fred Richardson of defrauding him and
shot him dead. He died. Impressive.

130
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.600
Even if all you say is true
that this man was Richardson's murderer,

131
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.399
you can't help John Vindell any longer. He's beyond that. But his name,

132
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.679
don't you his name? Have you
any proof, any living witness,

133
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.480
just myself? Forget it, missus
Canby. That's my advice to you.

134
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:15.919
The old wound is healed, don't
reopen it. Oh well, it troubles

135
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.320
me. So I haven't thought of
anything else since it happened. If I

136
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.000
saw a minister, if I had
some advice from the man of God.

137
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.360
Missus Canby, Now you said something. Now you've shown me the way.

138
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.519
That's where our answer lies, dear
woman, in prayer, in the forgiveness

139
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:43.120
of our dear Lord. Will you
pray with me? Missus Canby pray here?

140
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:50.440
Why not? God is everywhere?
Please join me, Dear Lord,

141
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:56.720
tell us what to do, give
us your divine guidance, show us the

142
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.840
path to righteousness. Help us the
Lord, help us to understand, Teach

143
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:07.000
us to forgive the sins of others
and to forget them, to forget.

144
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:16.200
I feel much better now, Missus
Candy, do you I'm I'm not sure.

145
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.600
Let us turn this matter over to
God, Missus Canby, not to

146
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.919
the police, but to the Lord. It's in his hands now, don't

147
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:30.120
you agree? Well, in a
way that's true, since then didn't now

148
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:48.159
all of them? Yes, Missus
Candy. Yes, my name's Stuart Winfield.

149
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:50.240
Missus Candy, I understand you have
a room for rent? Yes,

150
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.279
yes, yes, I do.
Well, I'm new in town, just

151
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.279
arrivee from Philadelphia. I've been staying
at a hotel, but I'd like something

152
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.840
home here. Well, the room, I have a thirty five dollars a

153
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.600
week. I can offer you any
meals, but you can use the kitchen

154
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.360
ong you wan't. Well, that
sounds good to me. Would you like

155
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.559
to see the room? Yes,
ma'am, I sure would. Well,

156
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.559
thank you. By the way,
how did you know I had a room

157
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.039
for anton? I was going to
place an ad this weekend? Oh?

158
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:28.000
I guess someone at the hotel mentioned. I forget just who say? This

159
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.240
is a real fine old house,
Missus Canby. I can see that I'm

160
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:43.240
going to like this place, just
fine. And so missus Canby has a

161
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:48.759
new border. He's a very personal
young man, with a great deal more

162
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.639
charm than old mister Paulson had.
Perhaps in a little while Missus Canby will

163
00:15:54.679 --> 00:16:00.879
be able to forget her former border
and the shocking confession made on his death

164
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:15.120
bed. I'll be back shortly with
that too hour. Stu Winfield took no

165
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.840
time at all to make himself at
home and Da Canby's big old house.

166
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:26.240
He loved everything about his room,
a fine old four poster bed, a

167
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.639
crazy quilt that Ada herself had sewn
up forty years ago, the lace curtains

168
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:37.279
on the window. He even loved
mister Paulson's blue parakeets. But what he

169
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:44.559
really seemed to like best was Missus
Canby herself. Des take me two minutes

170
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.639
to get these teen sheets on the
bed here. Let me give you a

171
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.200
hair you I can manage. I've
been making miss bed for almost fifty years.

172
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.840
You've lived in this house that long
lived in here when I got married

173
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:02.519
back in nineteen nineteen. My husband, David Force, my only son Ralph,

174
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.759
was born in it. And you've
lost them both. Yeah, they're

175
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:08.559
both dead, but I haven't lost
them. Oh, yes, yes,

176
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.799
I understand, Missus Canby, I
guess I feel that way about my mom.

177
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.240
Your mother's dead, Yes, she
died when I was two. Mister

178
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.680
Winfield, are you sure you want
these birds in your room? I could

179
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.599
take them to the parlor if you
want. Oh no, I think they're

180
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.319
great. I think everything's great about
this house. But there is something you

181
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.000
can do for me. What's that? Would you mind not calling me mister

182
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.279
Winfield? Oh that's what they call
my father. My name is Stuart.

183
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:49.640
Well, well, all right,
Stuart Walter. I think it's about time

184
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:53.559
I told you to I have a
border in the house. Mister Winfield is

185
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:59.279
the nicest young man you could want
to meet. There's a great deal friendlier

186
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.880
in my first time mister Paulson,
and he seems to like nothing better than

187
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.119
to sit around the evenings and talk. We talk about his home and his

188
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.640
parents and his plans for the future. I think, poor boy, missus

189
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:18.839
his home and family, and I'm
sort of a substitute for that. You

190
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:23.519
know, it isn't really fair,
missus Candy. You said I had kitchen

191
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.720
privileges, but that doesn't mean you
have to cook for me. It's a

192
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.720
pleasure. Steward I have not anyone
to cook for in the years. You're

193
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.720
kidding, You mean to say you
cooked this good without practice? Oh,

194
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:41.240
you're just being nice. I'm sure
that stew is just plain ordinary. It's

195
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.279
terrific, No kidding. It tastes
like well, it tastes like home,

196
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.519
if you know what I mean.
But it depends on who's on your mean.

197
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.960
Well, my mom cooks dudes like
this. That's what I meant,

198
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.799
you, mom, But she died
when you were only two. Oh well,

199
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:02.599
I guess I didn't mean my mom
exactly. I was thinking of my

200
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.079
aunt Martha. Huh. I mean
she's the one who sort of took over

201
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.640
the cooking and stuff after my mother
died, and my father's sister. You

202
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.720
know, I see, Well that
was lucky that you had someone to take

203
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:18.839
her place. Yeah, that's right. It's excuse me, my Stewart.

204
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.519
You're not coming down with anything.
No, No, I'm fine, just

205
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.440
a little case of the sniffle.
Listen. If your room isn't warm enough,

206
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.160
I have an extra. No.
No, the room's just fine.

207
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.720
Don't worry about it, will you
be sure? Now? I know I

208
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:36.680
felt little guilty about poor mister Paulson
when he got sick. Maybe I didn't

209
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:41.920
take good enough care of Paulson.
Was that your former boarder, the bird

210
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.119
Lover? Yes, yes, that
was his name, the poor man.

211
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.359
Tell me about him? Well,
I don't really know that much about him.

212
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.559
He lived here less than two months. What sort of a guy was

213
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.680
he? Well, he required he
kept to himself. Did you say he

214
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:03.960
was from South America? Remember for
dinner? Law, Well, you must

215
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.119
have said it, yes, yes, of course he was American. But

216
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:14.240
he'd been living in Brazil. I
don't know why exactly, although, come

217
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.839
to think of it, maybe I
do. What do you mean, Well,

218
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.960
it just occurred to me that Brazil
might be just a place for someone

219
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.839
who came into a lot of money
and wanted to leave the country. I

220
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.880
don't understand this. Oh, I
really think you are getting a coold,

221
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.240
Steward. I'm getting that blanket out
this minute. No waitnesses, Candy.

222
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:38.559
I'd rather hear about the mind.
I don't want to take any chances.

223
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:56.599
I'll be right back, Yes,
can't, Steward, Yes, come in.

224
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.000
I bought your t hey Stewart,
Oh you shouldn't have. You shouldn't

225
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.640
have gone to all that trouble missus, Candidy. They did trouble. Besides,

226
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.400
you've got to have some supper,
feeda cole and start a fee.

227
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.559
I mean, I was going to
come out to the kitchen and get myself

228
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.759
a sandwich or something. You shouldn't
have to bring a tob Oh, look

229
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.920
like that is that roast chickens?
Well, that's sweat. It's supposed to

230
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.599
be. I hope it tastes all
right. Noodle soup with dumplings. Missus

231
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:32.359
candy. You're spoiling me, rotten, you know that. I just thought

232
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.359
it'd be a good idea if you
stayed in bed and took it easy.

233
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:37.799
You weren't planning to go out tonight, were you? No? No,

234
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.319
I was just going to stay in
and read for a while. Maybe was

235
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:48.720
television. That's good here. I'll
just set this trade off. The service

236
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:53.839
here is just too good. Oh. We never never finished our talking the

237
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:59.240
other day about that border of yours
and mister Paulson. Well, there's not

238
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.400
much to say about him really.
Well, you said something about his living

239
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.799
in South America. You said you
thought you understood why he was living there.

240
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:12.559
Sounded real interesting. Well, the
truth is, Stuart, there is

241
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:18.720
something to tell about mister Paulson.
Maybe maybe you can help me feel better

242
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.880
about it all. But what I'm
not gonna tell you if you don't eat,

243
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:30.519
all right, missus Candy, I'll
eat. Well, it happened just

244
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:45.359
about three weeks ago. You know
nothing, missus Candy. That's about the

245
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.279
best roast chicken I've had in years. I'm sure, Sport, your appetite

246
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:52.759
was all my child. No,
No, that was a really interesting story.

247
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.839
But what do you think of it
all, Stuart? No, the

248
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:02.319
killer is the man who hired mister
Paulson. See is it right that he

249
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.640
should get away with it? No? Wait a minute, you're jumping to

250
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:10.559
conclusion. Why not mister Polson told
me that he was hired to do this

251
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.960
thing. Well, maybe he was
hired by Lindel. Maybe Lindel hired him

252
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.640
and then Paulson got cold feed and
Lindell did the shooting himself. No,

253
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:23.559
I'm sure that isn't true. You
see, I read the newspaper article all

254
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:29.039
about it. Well, you you
really were thorough about this once, you're,

255
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:36.960
missus Candy. Poor man. Have
golds gone near chest now, hasn't

256
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.200
it? No, I'm all right, stop stop worrying about me. Let's

257
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.400
talk about this this other problem of
yours. Well, maybe I'm making it

258
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:49.359
more of a problem than it should
be. Maybe if I just told the

259
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:53.960
police everything, I could forget it
once and for all. No, I

260
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.599
I really couldn't advise that, missus
Candy. Well sit in the newspaper story

261
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:06.839
that the two men were partners in
that investment firm, and mister Lindell thought

262
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:11.759
that his partner, Richardson was cheating
taking money out of the firm, and

263
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.759
that's why he's supposed to shot him. Wasn't there a witness to the shooting?

264
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:22.599
Right? Yes, I think it
was. Come to figure it was

265
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.440
mister Shelton. That's right. That's
well, doesn't it Doesn't that wrap it

266
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.880
up for you? Well, it
would if it wasn't from mister Poulson.

267
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.839
Listen, missus Candy, you know
how much I like you in just a

268
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:40.039
few days. You're more like family
than even my aunt Martha ever was.

269
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:42.799
It's nice of you to say,
Stuart, And that's why I want you

270
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:47.920
to listen to me about this.
That's why I want you to forget about

271
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:56.960
this whole foolish thing and listen to
you. It's an awful story, miss

272
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:02.799
tem Right, No, you're not
a I'm going to get child cough medicine

273
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:30.920
writes this, m M, mister
child, it's me Winfield. I think

274
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.440
I better stick around for a few
more days, mister children. The old

275
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:48.440
lady's beginning to get fidgety, if
you know what I mean. Well,

276
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.599
something tells me that Stewart Winfield isn't
such a nice young man after all.

277
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:57.960
Could it be that he wasn't telling
Missus Canby the truth about his dear mother

278
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:03.519
and aunt Martha. Could he have
not told her the truth about his plans

279
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:10.000
for the future. Of course,
the real issue is what sort of plan

280
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:15.880
does he have for Ada Canby's future. I'll be back shortly with Act three

281
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:32.400
if you won't want or Missus Canby. She isn't sleeping well tonight, But

282
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:38.680
of course Missus Canby has good reasons
for insomnia. Her thoughts are whirling her

283
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:44.440
border. Stewart was right. She
doesn't want the bother of going to the

284
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:51.079
police, and she firmly believes in
the old adage if you don't trouble trouble,

285
00:26:52.119 --> 00:27:00.839
trouble won't trouble you. But still, oh much gonna get to sleep,

286
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:08.480
Poor Stuart. She's still coughing pit
I'm sure that room is just too

287
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:14.519
dry. I never should have let
any borders in until I got the windows

288
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:22.400
face. Oh, that poor boy. I'll never forget the terrible night mister

289
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:30.400
Pousam was coughing Sabasi, and the
way he looked all Graham shrunk. If

290
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:37.319
only I knew he was so sick, No, if only he'd never even

291
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:48.240
come to this house. I never
forget the sound of that man's boy,

292
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:57.640
that poor man, all the years
he spent in jail for something he didn't.

293
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:07.680
Sleeping dogs lie, mister County.
My aunt one always said, let's

294
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:14.359
sleeping dogs live. Only I could
get some sleep better. Timeless, not

295
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:26.960
wrong? God on extrange man he
is, said mister Choke. Where he

296
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:33.039
talked about God praying at his desk. Of course, got a little burb

297
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:49.799
his desk, children of someone for
more pay. Someone had to pay him.

298
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:57.680
Mister Polson was the origilly one.
Someone else was too. Awker arker

299
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:08.400
far dear lord, mister Cheltam Shelton, What did that newspaper article say?

300
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:17.079
The chief witness against mister Lindell was
Arnold Chilton. But how could he be

301
00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:22.880
a witness? There's something that never
happened. How could he be? I

302
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:29.720
don't have to tell someone. I'll
have to talk to someone. Is I'll

303
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:42.720
tell Stuart about it in the morning. Stewart, are you awake? Yes?

304
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:52.759
I love Oh Now, don't tell
me. I'm getting breakfast in bed

305
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.079
too. I know you're a terrible
night last night, Stewart, you were

306
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.640
coughing much worse than ever. I
guess that medicine wasn't very good. I'm

307
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:04.920
sorry I kept you awake, missus
Kendah. That wasn't your fault. No,

308
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:11.079
something else kept me up. What
was that? Oh my mind?

309
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:17.759
I guess maybe I should say my
conscience. I sounds serious, but it

310
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.079
is something serious to it. Well, I might have let a man get

311
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.720
away with murder. No, it's
even worse than that. He did something

312
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:33.680
worse than murder. You're talking about
Paulson again. No, I'm talking about

313
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:41.480
the man who hired mister Paulson.
He didn't just have that man Richardson's shot.

314
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:47.319
He let an innocent person go to
jail and die there. And I'd

315
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:52.839
start committing two murders if you ask
me, I have to tell you something

316
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.759
that occurred to me last night.
Ahead. Well, it's about mister Chelton,

317
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:06.799
Mister Arnold Chelton, yeah, go
on, Stuart. I wonder if

318
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:11.160
maybe the reason mister Shelton was so
upset with me, the reason he didn't

319
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:18.319
want me to go to the police, was because he was afraid exclaim what

320
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.599
you mean, Well, what I
mean is maybe mister Shelton had good reason

321
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.359
besides the one he told me.
He was working for both mister Richardson and

322
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:33.640
mister Lindell at the time of the
murder. Oh well, Absord. Well,

323
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.279
he was also the chief witness of
the trial, a witness for the

324
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.400
prosecution. But he saw the shooting, didn't he. But that's just the

325
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:48.119
point. He saw mister Lindell shoot
mister Richardson. Well, that's why what

326
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.720
you told me last time, I
mean that he was an eyewitness. All

327
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.400
that's right. He didn't actually see
the shooting. He was miles away when

328
00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:02.480
it happened. I don't quite remember
details. There was something about a phone

329
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:07.119
call maybe, yes, yes,
that's what it was. He claimed that

330
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:12.759
mister Richardson was talking to him on
the phone when mister Lindale showed up at

331
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:17.519
his apartment. He said that Richardson
cried out something about Lindell having a gun.

332
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:24.119
How could that have happened if the
gun was fired by mister Paulson.

333
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:30.079
If missus Candy, that's the big
little word, isn't it? If he

334
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:39.119
don't just see what I'm saying,
Stuart Arnold Sheelden had the most to gain

335
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:45.720
game from one from both these men
leading the firm that lead the whole thing

336
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:51.039
him, all this customers, all
the investments he had, all the commissions

337
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:54.920
are whatever they call it. Are
you accusing this guy Shelton of being the

338
00:32:55.079 --> 00:33:00.000
cull Is? Yes, it's It's
the only answer, Stuart. Look,

339
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:05.880
if that was the case, that
the police would have figured it out.

340
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:09.039
But they didn't. There was nothing
in the stories I read that pointed any

341
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:14.519
suspicion at mister Calton. I don't
supposed to keep him the courts of them,

342
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:21.240
and now the company is all his. You don't you don't call that

343
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:28.400
evidence? Didn't you let me go
to the police. Why didn't he try

344
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:32.680
so hard to talk me out?
That man was trained to it. He

345
00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:42.799
was taking the name of the lord. I'm sorry, Stuart, I'm sorry.

346
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.440
I won't bother you anymore. I
know what I have to do.

347
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:52.279
Anyway, I've already gone along.
Still, no, wait a minute,

348
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.480
I get back. I'm going to
call doctor George and ask him to come.

349
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:04.680
You're saying, no, no,
you're right, I don't call them

350
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:09.320
tracking Montar. I'm going down the
station house and talk to them. I'll

351
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:14.559
get rest. Now go straight there. Please, please think about what you're

352
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:17.239
doing. I'll tell them what I
know and they can do the rest.

353
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:37.719
And you try to eat something,
Stewart, Please, Candy Sheldon, what

354
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:42.280
easy? Win Fielding, don't call
me in the office. It's emergency.

355
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:47.840
Sound terrible. What's come matter with
you? I'm sick only you're going to

356
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:52.039
be a lot sick. What are
you talking about? The old lady?

357
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:55.960
I can't stop her. She decided
to talk, and she figured it out.

358
00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:59.960
Figured out exactly what you did,
Sheldon, and how you did it?

359
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:07.400
You fall there wasn't part of the
deal, Childing, It's all the

360
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:13.559
deal now, the price didn't incut
anything like that price. Just all ladies,

361
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:17.679
I'm always having accidents. Make I
have one, Make I have one

362
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:25.719
now, Winfield right, all right, he's gonna she's gonna have a fall

363
00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:36.000
down there and sell his steps right
now. You gotta get my robe on

364
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:49.000
my slipper. I gotta hurry in. Sure is that you over up?

365
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:57.119
Called me. Do it, Whindy, What are you doing out of bed?

366
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:00.559
Now? You go right back there
this second. Got to talk to

367
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.679
you, missus Candy, before you
go to the police. Listen to you.

368
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.440
You're all with it. You can
hardly talk to and I'll go back

369
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:12.519
a bit before he catch themngent to
the don't go, missus Candy. It

370
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:15.400
would be better if you never went
to the police. Better for you,

371
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:21.280
better for me, for you.
I don't understand. Well, then I

372
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:28.159
wouldn't have to hurt you, missus
Candy. That's what I mean. I

373
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.559
wouldn't have to do anything bad to
you. You would win in the world

374
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:36.159
you talking about. Come on,
old lady, you're smart, all right.

375
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:39.719
You really think they're through? So
now think a little harder. Excuse

376
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:45.639
you? She do it? You
true about mister p right the tew you

377
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:51.159
do my room because mister no,
you're getting there, missus Candy. It's

378
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:54.559
why you're rended it. That's why
you were sent just to watch you,

379
00:36:54.800 --> 00:37:01.960
Missus Candy, to disease that you
stayed sensor me plead shut from there.

380
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:07.840
I was hoping you'd never change your
mind about calling the police. I didn't

381
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:14.199
want this part of it. This
isn't the part I like you just relaxing,

382
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:22.679
Candy, you're easy, light of
the matter. And missus Candy didn't

383
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.920
like my hand. Martha would have
been if my hand and had Martha give

384
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:36.880
me. You've got a date now, missus handy. But I'm fighting.

385
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:45.199
I'm sick. Remember, shut your
eyes, Please shut your eyes and don't

386
00:37:45.239 --> 00:38:10.119
look down in the car. Shut
your eyes on It's it's all right night.

387
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:15.159
Just be glad that it wasn't you
at the bottom of those stairs.

388
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:22.039
Well didn't he be all right?
Doctor George? Now do you want to

389
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:27.159
worry about that man? For truth
is, his injuries don't amount very much.

390
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:30.360
A couple of broken ribs seem to
be the worst of it. But

391
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:35.119
he'll be impatient for some time before
they can put him in prison where he

392
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:42.760
belonged. Him and his friend that
was that man's name him, You mean,

393
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:49.559
mister m Are they arrested here.
That's what the police technic said.

394
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:55.320
I understand Stewart's injury, not share. It's not the fault that made Win

395
00:38:55.440 --> 00:39:00.679
feels are sick. His case was
diagnosed his symbol here at first, and

396
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:08.280
then I remembered about your first border. Nelson was a but he had pneumonia

397
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:14.480
too, he died of it.
Is pneumonia contagious, Yes, yes,

398
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:22.280
this disease was even more contagious.
It's a pneumonia caused by a disease called

399
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:30.000
cyacosis. Better owners, parrot,
female, you get it from sick birds

400
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:37.360
like the parakeets in your spare room. Oh no, mister, sorry,

401
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:43.239
but they had to be taken out
and destroyed. Oh what a shave.

402
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:49.400
It is one reason I feel sorry
for him. They saved your life,

403
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:54.000
made mister Winfield to even to throw
a little old lady down the flight of

404
00:39:54.159 --> 00:40:00.599
steps, those poor little creatures,
which you can be grateful they didn't make

405
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:06.719
music too. Garlet fever is so
contageous that no more than one person in

406
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:10.639
a thousand could be exposed to it. An escape infection. It was putty

407
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:15.880
done close to a miracle, the
doom. They're hard to kill, doctor,

408
00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:29.119
Remember the ones are hard to kill. They say that people are living

409
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:32.960
longer than ever before, And when
we look at eight it can be we

410
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:39.719
can understand why she's a tough old
lady, so tough she could withstand the

411
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:46.719
threats of man beasts Hamberg. Unless
that be a warning to all those who

412
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:52.880
think that our senior citizens are easy
prey for crime. To watch out.

413
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:59.719
They may turn the tables on you
or the stairs. I'll be back.

414
00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:15.840
We have one final comment for you
on behalf of Ada, Canby and old

415
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:22.320
people. Everywhere there's a saying there's
no fool like an old fool. But

416
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:29.519
it's also true that there's no wisdom
and strength like old wisdom and strength.

417
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:36.880
There does that make you feel better
about your next birthday? Our cast included

418
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:42.840
Agnes Moorehead, Leon Jenny and Roger
de Coben. The entire production was under

419
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:50.000
the direction of Hyman Brown. This
is E. G. Marshall inviting you

420
00:41:50.119 --> 00:41:55.800
to return to our Mystery Theater for
another adventure in the macabre. Until next

421
00:41:55.880 --> 00:42:47.480
time, pleasant dreams. My dear, you were not wrong. It's an

422
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:52.440
especially cold night. I'm sorry if
the fireplace wasn't enough for you. Next

423
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:58.199
time, I'll be sure to dust
off some fine blankets as well as because

424
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.760
you know winter is only beginning in
the beginning, It's only going to get

425
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:07.000
again colder, colder and colder from
here. But thank you again for joining

426
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:12.599
me. But unfortunately the sun will
be up soon and that means my time

427
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:17.400
is up up for now, now
make sure you search your radio dive tomorrow

428
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:24.440
night and find me again. Your
company is greatly greatly appreciated, I assure

429
00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:28.880
you. What's that? What's that? Oh? Well, yes, If

00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.559
you wish to reach me when I'm
not here with you, all you have

431
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:37.519
to do is send an email to
Weird Mysteries Pod at gmail dot com.

432
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:40.480
I look forward to hearing from you. You can also use a Wiji board

433
00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:47.079
if you like. Until tomorrow night, my friend and my friendly relax in

434
00:43:47.199 --> 00:44:01.800
your warm bed. Good night,
good night. The down bringing, bumbling,

435
00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:06.400
the mumbling, private drink of break
