diabetic doctor mm-hmm has he been

always it must be his overcoat

well they have someone get it mr.

Travers please oh certainly Armand you

know mr. Foster's overcooked would you

please see if this amidst a minute

yes madam it'll be in a small case I

think it may all right soon as he gets

his insulin that's probably our fault

for not serving dinner earlier well he

usually takes his medicine just before

meals doesn't be clear Oh Oh Harriet I'm

afraid we spoiled your party Oh nonsense

Claire falters all right nothing else

Ellie this is dr. Audrey mr. Gerard I

don't know what sir I'm very glad to

meet you doctor we have mr. Gerard to

thank for having you as our neighbor oh

he found this house for us so you were

in the real estate business yes I

handled downtown properties large office

buildings long-term ground leases and so

forth but tried and Harriet asked me to

find a house for them and I heard about

this one huh I I thought psychiatry was

your field doctor odd way this is Jax

Wayne doctor how do you do miss Swain

how do you do yes I am a psychiatrist

but of course I'm also a physician well

maybe you have something in common with

Jack doctor you renovate rundown mines

and he renovates run-down bodies all

rights telling you about my gymnasium I

operate the Swain Institute of Health Oh

[Music]

have given you one face

[Music]

mr.foster is dead

well someone please call the police

[Music]

morning inspector Oh doctor call the

medical examiner's office and ask dr.

Steiner to come up I want you to hear

what Steiner has to say firsthand well

while we're waiting for him you can tell

me if Walter Foster died from natural

causes no you were right about that he

was poisoned

and so you are more or less responsible

for his death warning hardway how much

he told you well only the Foster was

poisoned yes death was practically

instantaneous once the poison reached

the heart which was a few moments after

you injected it so you found poison in

his insulin well in that case it could

either be murder or suicide no there's

no possibility of suicide in this

instance right seiner right there was no

poison in Foster's kit but there was

poison and the injection you gave him

you mean someone removed his bottle of

insulin and replaced it with one

containing poison and then after I used

it switched the bottles back again

exactly the murderer made you the

instrument of his crime or to put it

more plainly somebody has made a fine

sucker out of you I hope you're not

going to let them get away with it oh I

get it

do you want me to do your job for you

huh oh no but under the circumstances

inspector Burns thought you might like

to help and living across the street

from the scene of the crime it makes it

easier for me to investigate than you

all right

well have you done anything at all or do

I carry the ball on every play no we

have the servant arm on morale under

surveillance and also some of the others

inspector Burns couldn't make it arrest

at this time unless he took you tell me

is Armand a permanent employee of the

trapars no he was just hired for the

party now here's a list of everyone who

was there with their names addresses

occupations and whatever information we

had time together

who's this Allan Tobin attorney I don't

remember meeting here

no he left early see the Travers

attorney no no he's the administrator

for the Foster estate you haven't

questioned him yet

well there hasn't been time all right if

I get any ideas I'll call it so all

right thanks dr. Dwyer along

I'm doctor odd way miss Foster is

expecting me yes sir would you come in

please

no I'll just be here a minute

excuse me please good morning dr. Adler

good morning I'm sorry to intrude on you

today don't feel you're intruding I'm

glad to have a chance to talk with you

what to sit down please

thank you I called her particularly to

ask you about something that your

brother said before he passed away

well I knew he said something but I

didn't hear quite what it was yes his

voice was was weak and a little

incoherent but I'm pretty sure he said

have given you one face does that mean

anything to you know it well it sounds

like a quotation of some sort but I

don't know from what did you ever hear

in court those words before hath given

you one face

no but they stir something in my memory

Alec I just stopped by to express my

condolences Claire and to see if there's

anything I can do that's awfully good of

you but mr. Tobin is taking care of

everything

you remember doctor oh yes of course how

a doctor I find thanks miss foster now

we're just talking about something a

brother said it the last it's an

incomplete quotation I've given you one

face do you know what that's frontal

lobe is from the Bible perhaps it's the

text of a sermon that impressed Walker

do or I call the verses front no I don't

at the moment oh well if either one of

you think of it will you let me know

please thank you thank you doctor hardly

goodbye

[Applause]

no no remember the hole I showed you mr.

Witherspoon yeah right oh don't flap

around like a confused chicken use those

arms that's better that's right oh

what's that Witherspoon Danny get him

over higher

what's watch those arms no no no

[Applause]

Oh

Oh dr. Arden white looks like I got here

just in time

oh I don't worry about him doctor a few

smacks with a wet towel and he'll be as

good as new

what is here professional wrestler

certainly not he's a client I'm

conditioning him conditioning him for

what the morgue huh oh you know you

should take a course in judo yourself

doctor it would be a pleasure for me to

train you personally that's mighty nice

of you but the idea doesn't happen

appeal to me it might come in handy

someday

you must meet a lot of screwy characters

in your line of work I don't think my

patients are as crazy as yours hmm

ha ha ha that's some place we can talk

for a minute Oh certainly in my office

oh that's a nice picture of Miss Foster

yes and there's not another one like it

in the whole world Clara just had that

one print made for me mm-hmm I came to

you because of your relationship to

Claire Foster you know I thought perhaps

it might be best if what if you told her

that her brother was murdered

the police have sometimes tell us about

those things well what do you know about

that so Walter was murdered huh well he

had it coming to him what are you doing

here the hands is that a nervous habit

oh no no it's just exercise oh you want

to try it yourself at odd times during

the day we not doing anything else it's

good for you you were saying that Waller

only got what he deserved

yeah you mind explaining that well

there's really nothing to explain doctor

but if you nail the killer would you

mind doing me a favor

what's that give him my hearty

congratulations what did no thanks

what did foster ever do to you he was

blocking my marriage declare we'd have

been married a year ago if we'd been up

to Claire on me well did he inject you

personally or just the idea of his

sister getting married that's it

as long as he was unmarried he figured

he had a chance to squeeze her out of a

sizeable chunk of money how did he

persuade her to stay single oh we sold

her on the idea that she was keeping him

straight that if she ever withdrew

support he'd go to pieces well I suppose

I should congratulate you on the removal

of the obstacle to your marriage

Thanks and I'll uh I'll tell Claire

about her bra

although I have a feeling it's going to

spoil my evening well you'll be lucky if

it doesn't spoil your romance what are

you driving at well it's just a little

peculiarity of human nature that if

someone you love someone near to you is

murdered you can't rest until the

killer's brought to justice

oh I'm afraid Claire won't be thinking

of marriage for quite a while I think

you've got something here doctor and of

course he's going to realize that it

must've been someone at the trailer's

party who substituted poison for insulin

no that's why she'll seem a little

peculiar tail and of course you do seem

to be the one who benefits most by her

brother's death all right doctor you're

gonna get what you came for

I believe that either Clyde or Harriet

Travers killed him can you prove that

well no not exactly but Harriet was

interested in Walter but he was bleeding

in for money maybe she killed him

because she couldn't give him anymore

without her husband getting wise or

maybe he was wise and killed Walter

himself mm-hmm

Thanks don't forget to tell Claire will

ya yes all right I'll tell her and you

find your way out all right oh I think

so goodbye goodbye has given you one

face that's given you war in the face no

I've never heard it before I disagree

with mr. Gerard however I'm quite sure

it's not from the Bible great I'm I'm a

great student of the book doctor oddly

well thanks very much mr. Tolin by the

way I understand you're the foster

family lawyer oh yes I ever handled

their fares for many years their father

was the late to Charles Foster you know

yes well I suppose

Walter Foster was financially

independent on the contrary he was

dependent on his sister on other women

or anyone else for that matter what did

he get any of his father's money I'm the

administrator of Charles Foster's estate

at the children Claire and Walter under

the terms of the will were to have a

monthly allowance until they reached the

age of 21 then Walter received his full

half of the estate well what did he do

with it he received two hundred and

fifty thousand dollars and in the three

years was

am i keeping you by any chance no no I'm

waiting waiting excuse me I begged him

to leave the principle intact in my

hands but he thought he could do better

with it than I could and then when his

money was gone he wanted Claire to take

her inheritance in cash so he could

dissipate that did she refuse mm-hmm oh

she left her money with me and in

consequence is enjoying an income of

$1,000 a month well well I'm waiting

three minutes after four he leaked yes I

know but the fuse blew out as I was

burning the water

[Applause]

mr. Tobin you'd better buy some new

fuses that fella is the most ingenious

excuses for being late with mighty

I just bought fuses really you said that

Waller Foster was dependent on his

sister but only for a hundred to two now

and again

of course he tried to wheedle more out

of her five thousand for this ten

thousand for that I was promising to

double the money overnight mm-hmm but

Claire didn't fall for it

she knew her brother of course she was

fond of him in spite of his weakness

but you weren't he's pretentious

necessary wall there was a waster he's

better off dead and in spite of Walter's

persuasions Claire never touched any of

her principal even though it was

available to her at any time of course

it was always available to her yeah as a

matter of fact when she did drop ten

thousand in cash

she wanted it to invest in her

sweethearts business the Health

Institute it seemed like a foolish

investment but it's turning out alright

of course I wouldn't ordinarily discuss

Claire's affairs why did you really hate

Walter Foster did he embarrass you by

wanting his money in cash the careful

doctor hard way now you'll find yourself

defending a suit for slander

goodbye mr. Tolin

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

dr. Ordway this is Claire Foster yes I

just found it a moment ago can you come

over right away

yes I'll be glad to what about the

quotation well we didn't find it at

first because we looked down to the

wrong initial in the index oh well what

is it God hath given you one face and

you make yourselves another it's from

Hamlet

that's right yes I have an idea of what

he meant but it's too long a story to go

into over the phone please come over

right away all right I'll be over right

away

goodbye who's there

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Oh almond well good afternoon doctor odd

way mr. Travers is not home do you wish

to see the madam yes please

I shall inform of the joy here won't you

come in thank you

would you please wait I go doctor always

calling hello make some cocktails please

Alberto yes ma'am I'm so glad to see you

I go

have you heard anything about clear no

she seems to have disappeared but the

police are doing all they can

it's unlike her to go away without

telling any of her friends yes that's

what everyone says do you go in the

sitting room thank you vonda's death was

a terrible shock doubly tragic to us

since it happened in our home mr. Travis

and I were both very fond of him yes I

knew you were but a rather surprises me

to learn that mr. Travis was also fond

of him frankly doctors rather surprised

me too

oh you'll join me in a cocktail won't

you yes I did enjoy one very much thank

you I thought he was an extra servant we

found a very efficient and decided to

keep him oh you know I was surprised to

see that your house is up for sale

well we didn't feel much like living

here after what happened to Walter I can

understand that as it turned out you

practically bought the house for the

murder do you think I killed Walter well

now don't let that worry you I'm a long

way from proving it funny my husband

insinuated as much right after Walter

died before the police said it was

murder yes of course he didn't really

believe such a thing no no he thought it

would stop me from accusing him doctor

odd way I'm frightened I feel as if

walls are closing in on me are you

afraid you'll be arrested and charged

with Walters murder I don't know I don't

know I I just have a premonition of

danger

that's why I've told you things I

wouldn't dare tell the police hello

Harriet good afternoon doctor away

good afternoon mrs. Travers and I were

just discussing how the insulin could

have been switched somebody's made me

that cat's paw and I rather resent it oh

I wouldn't take that as a personal

front of I were you you're being

summoned here was one of those

unpredictable accidents and frequently

upset the best laid plans of a murderer

isn't that so dear yes he was she

expected Walter to administer his own

legal bills they tell me mr. Travers do

you recall noticing anyone come in go

out of this room during the party well

we use this room as a men's cloakroom

there were lots of people in and out I

was in here once myself

yeah was I recall it the courts were on

a long table that you'd place near that

window so the exchange of insulin could

have been management the outside it's

right of course it may not mean anything

at all except that a pros it was

possible for someone who wasn't at your

party to have loitered water but hardly

likely no one who wasn't very close to

water would know where he kept his

medicines and how could anyone who

wasn't at the party know in which room

the men's coats were kept well I think

I'd better be going goodbye mr. Stryver

so we'll see you to the door I'm dafter

odd way I'd like to see mr. Gerrard if

he's in please pardon me doctor odd ways

here to see you thank you hello doctor

odd way how are you fine thanks I called

your office it's a few minutes ago the

secret heard any news of Claire no no

not a thing

what are the police doing all the

routine things there was nothing to

indicate violence when I arrived at her

home so the police considered it a

disappearance at least for the time

being but you don't oh I said I don't

believe she went away voluntarily no

neither do i well I talked to her not

more than 15 minutes before I reached

her home she discovered the source of

water Foster's last words and she wanted

to see me oh there's the quotation have

any bearing on Foster's death and

Claire's disappearance no I'm afraid not

it's just a line from Hamlet I dropped

in to see you because I'm rather curious

about the for sale sign on the Travers

home there was nothing less than amazed

when Travers telephoned me and told me

to put the house up for sale yes they

told me they didn't feel like living

there because Walter died in the house

but I can't exactly believe that

they're selling the house because

they're separating oh that decision must

have been arrived at very recently

that's right well they're getting along

all right until mrs. Travers became

friendly with Walden can never seem to

give Travers a motive but really I think

you can count them out they're both too

intelligent to commit a murder in their

own home mm-hmm

does anyone else have a motive that's

hard for me to say they're all my

friends

mm-hmm but see now as far as Swain is

concerned his motive doesn't seem to be

strong enough well in measuring the

strength of a motive you have to

consider the mind and emotions of a

suspect me trying to give you a lesson

in psychology or hearts all right tell

me uh were there any hard feelings

between Foster and Tobin now that you

mention it I almost had the feeling that

Tobin was afraid of foster it seemed

that foster had something on Tobin or

Tobin thought he had what about Armand

he'd be merely a tool for somebody

outside the house someone who wasn't at

the party I liked him best for the job

oh you do

why because by suspecting him I

automatically remove my friends from

suspicion besides he had the best chance

to get in and out of the cloakroom

unobserved

is there anything else I can tell you oh

no no thank you very much please let me

know at once if you hear anything of

Claire yes I will goodbye miss Gerard

dr. Arden Way is expecting me yes mr.

Travis is here

good evening was Travis come and even

sit down thank you

ever since you left our house something

has been running through my mind yes I

may as well tell you first of all that

my wife and I have quarreled rather

seriously over wallet foster yes yes I

have heard rumors to that effect when we

were married I gave my wife a

substantial block of stocks for a

present recently I noticed they were

missing from the safe deposit box she

admitted selling them to establish

foster and a business was that your

first quarrel over a war literally first

serious one she became angry and

announced she was going to leave me did

you try to dissuade her oh I told her

she was making a fool of herself that

foster played that game with more than

one woman yeah well of course she she

didn't believe that not until I gave her

the name of the woman he was running

around with at the party she abraded him

and demanded to know what he had done

with the money he claimed to have lost

at the races and admitted being in love

with the other woman you realize what

you just told me gives you a wife a

pretty strong motive for killing Walter

his effort to intent isn't certainly not

high I told you because it occurred to

me that you might have been right about

the insulin being switched by someone

outside the house was this other woman

her name is Connie day I believe she

works for a mortician you know her

address or the name of the man she works

for no well I'll try and locate her

thanks very much mr. Travers thank you

[Applause]

[Music]

doesn't miss Akane day work there

oh I'm sorry you know I have the wrong

number

[Music]

like him

[Music]

as a miss Connie day worked there please

a specter blazing

your water than a telephone

[Music]

hello miss day this is dr. odd way who

but I don't know you

oh no it's impossible we we have an

early morning funeral and I'm working

tonight

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Oh mr. Ganz forgot I was working and

love mean I've been nearly crazy

you didn't forget you

none of us is forgot you

Foster was your boyfriend you told him

to blackmail adoptive didn't you

[Music]

I didn't tell him anything I don't know

anything

you gotta get just what he got but don't

worry you'll have a beautiful funeral

with flowers and everything

[Music]

yeah she skipped without leaving so much

as a handkerchief I waited around till

after 11:00 last night she hadn't

arrived home then you're certainly

having bad luck with your phone calls

you talked to Claire Foster and she

disappeared and you phoned this girl and

frightened her away maybe she wasn't

frightened away as it ever occurred to

you that whoever is responsible for

Claire's disappearance might also be

responsible for Connie days you're sure

you didn't hear her moving out during

the night I certainly did not or I would

have had a word with her she was

supposed to give me 30 days notice

before moving there's no one on duty in

the lobby here at nights well you see we

don't have a switchboard each apartment

has its own phone I talked to her

employer he said she left there at 9

o'clock they were both working late

because of an early funeral this morning

you know anything about any of her

friends no but there was one young man I

know about I think they called him

Walter well thank you very much yes

Thanks

this is a place Louis

I'm mr. Casper I phoned a while ago for

an appointment

mm what doctor would weigh should be

here in a few minutes in the meantime

you can fill in your name address and

phone number on this card my brother's

the patient well then put down his name

there's a pin on that desk

don't put nothing down they'll send me

away

take it easy Louie dr. hard we won't

send you away

hey I miss thank you I'm in mamas what

I'm sending in a patient doctor are

delayed they'll be scared I wouldn't

take you to a man who lock you up come

on over let the doc help you

are you the patient yeah you want you to

help him he's afraid locked up I'd like

to hear Lily answer my questions if you

don't mind certainly doctor I understand

LOI I can't help you now

you got to work things out yourself come

on over sit down boy

Louie I made a mistake he's a man who

wants to lock you up

boy you crazy fool my brother shot him

I'll call the police

we knew of course the name he used in

your office would be assumed we made a

nationwide search and check on it just

the same no results well what about the

fellow that he brought with him he's

been in and out of institutions all his

life there were no friends or relatives

on his record so we couldn't get a lead

to Casper through identifying him

well when new places come in the office

most white always has them write their

names and addresses on a on a filing

card I'm all right thanks yes I know she

she gave us Casper's card but there were

no fingerprints on it except her own and

yours well how could Casper handle the

card without leaving a finger miss wife

what about that girl that worked for the

Undertaker

Connie day yeah she hasn't been heard of

since she moved out of her apartment I

don't think she moved out of the more

than Clara foster did someone cleaned

out her place to make you think she'd

skipped well if you're suggesting that

they've both been killed and what's

become of their bodies I don't know but

I'm convinced they're both dead whoever

killed Waller Foster thought they knew

too much and the tempo sorry it's just

the laughs don't bother except on my

life is late for the same reason too mr.

white

yes yes yes dr. Lane oh yes you recall

exactly how Casper took the

identification card when you gave it to

him just like anybody else well wait

wait a minute yeah here we are now show

me now according to miss white

he took it with his forefinger and his

thumb oh then he had to leave a

fingerprint Otakon unless it was

mishandled and smudged off in some way

our North even smudged it has shown up

in the laboratory here now you better

sit down

Wow hey hey no I tell you the card was

clean except for miss White's prints and

your own but we're looking for a

criminal who was deliberately had his

fingerprints removed God hath given you

one face and you'll make yourself

another now I know what was in water

Foster's mind when he when he quoted

that line from Hamlet what are you

driving at if a criminal is wanted badly

enough to have his fingerprints removed

wouldn't he also like a bit of plastic

surgery her man's face becomes dangerous

to him so he gets himself another you

know I was just thinking about a letter

that we

recently from Washington they asked us

to investigate reports that a plastic

surgeon was operating on wanted

criminals from all parts of the country

well I think that's dr. Evans now this

is the day inspector well then I'd

better get going

no no no you stick around because if the

news is bad I'll want some moral support

dr. Evans is here oh hello hello how do

you feel old man all right if you'd

rather be alone I'm sure inspector

Byrnes would understand oh no no I I

want him to stay as we not keep you in

suspense in a glancing bullet wound of

this kind that injures the optic nerve

we have no way of judging whether the

nerve will write itself quickly or not

at all

it's white will you draw the curtain

please

we call to see dr. odd way won't you

come in please just a moment please I'll

tell the nurse excuse me if dr. odd way

is blind dear thick you'll give up as

practice I should think he'd give up

helping the police if that's what you

mean oh how do you do miss way how do

you do how is dr. old way we've been

terribly worried about him the bandages

were removed this afternoon doctor odd

way is blind

oh isn't runny hope I'm afraid not for a

long time perhaps an operation may be

attempted later Oh we'd better go dear

he may not want to call us today

no please don't leave he heard the

doorbell and I think he'd feel hurt if

you left without seeing him when you do

go in try to be perfectly natural

express your sympathy once if you wish

but after that whatever you do don't

refer to his blindness no of course not

mr. mrs. Travers have come see you dr.

Arthur oh come in come in so why not

let's not talk about it now come on sit

down I'm awfully glad you dropped in

especially glad that you came together

now calling on you together really means

something the for sale sign is down

again do you mean the separation plans

are off well we didn't find a buyer for

the house right away so we just had to

live in it Harriet is kidding we decided

to forget the past and make a new start

oh I'm awfully glad here that I'm I wish

you the best of luck too cigarette oh

yes please

thank you now you can draw on it I'm

afraid we're tiring dr. Ordway Clyde oh

no no don't don't we just stopped by to

see how you were

well they'll come back again soon won't

you yes we will and if there's anything

we can do why call us thank you very

much goodbye goodbye a doctor by nurses

times

I don't like this deception I know but

if it serves to catch a murderer it's

justified and I don't think Travers and

his wife will lose much time spreading

the news you have to kill me if the

office wasn't a sudden outbreak of

violence by a paranoid no no his

pretended brother had primed him to kill

you all right yes the shooting followed

very closely on the round of visits I

paid the various people who were at the

Travers party somebody resented the

interest you were taking in the water

foster case and hired them Kasper to put

you out of the way well let somebody

I'll think I'm just as harmless blind is

dead well now that you've got the

bandages off your eyes why don't you

come down to headquarters and look at

pictures maybe we've got a record of

Casper Casper had his face remodeled

when his fingerprints were removed an

old picture won't mean anything but

there's another means of identification

he may have overlooked then the catch on

the lock well your doctor Hardaway

Thanks I have the files brought up I

thought you'd have more privacy here all

splendid let me have that card would

have guard the card that Casper wrote on

in my office there no prints on it

though I know that I want to check the

handwriting mm I'll have the handwriting

expert but I'm sure you're right the C's

EES peas and arse and both names are the

same there's no question but what Casper

and Costello are the same man mm-hmm he

was released two years ago after serving

seven years for robbery well you got a

good look at him in your office did he

look like any of those old pictures no

no I don't think he's gonna be easy to

find I'm not so sure that there may be a

quick and easy way to get our hands on

him through arm on the butler do you

think he and Costello were working

together well somebody in the Travers

house must have been and I can't see any

of Travers friends getting mixed up with

a man like Costello oh I I don't think

that almonds guilty but if he should be

involved

miniature arresting course Allah's gonna

run I have to take that chance look here

if you should be right and Armand does

give you a lead to course Allah will you

do me a favor don't arrest him right

away don't arrest Armand and now don't

arrest Garcelle oh that's like asking

the Hound let the Fox go well I'm

convinced there's someone more important

more dangerous than course Allah behind

all this well maybe you're right

but as the police officer if I get my

hands on course hello I have no choice

but to arrest him at once well I'm glad

that little mishap of yours wasn't as

serious as we thought

thanks Cummings you know what occurred

to inspector burns and me that they're

well that might be certain advantages in

pretending to be blind for a while

naturally your enemies would feel they

were just as harmless as if he had been

killed yes but there's someone else who

can identify the man who calls himself

Kasper I mean my nurse Florence white oh

is that why you called up the agency yes

I want you to follow miss white I'll be

ready to protect her every minute she's

out of doors well you don't need a

private detective for that the police

department would assign a man to her and

it wouldn't cost you - I know I know

that but crook can usually spot a police

detective a mile away besides I've got

another reason for one of the agents

neither handle it

I don't want an arrest if you see anyone

following Miss white find out who he is

where he lives now I'm beginning to get

the idea don't get the idea now or jump

to the conclusion that Miss white is

bait I'm engaging you first of all the

protector does she know about me no I

don't think it's occurred to her that

she might be in danger but I don't want

to frighten her well I'll try not to let

her see me okay

looks as though we were in for a night

of this well-hidden being longing under

the while he goes under the name of Marx

and he lives alone so he's not have to

cook dinner and he's a partner well

maybe he saw you following him went out

the back door

there is no back door the service

entrance is on the side I don't think he

knows I'm telling him anyway he's coming

out now

looked into some of your recent funerals

we might find Connie and probably Claire

foster occupying graves into some of the

names there he is as property your

friend course hello

[Applause]

I suppose you realize you might have

been killed last night and then I'd have

been blamed for it

it'd have been funny if I'd had to

perform an autopsy on you you could at

least have taken us into your confidence

so we could cover you tell me have you

made

gansan Kasper talk yet no not yet

dr. Steiner has been having a field day

or I should say night Ganz's records

indicate that he only had three funerals

this week one was okay the very

laughter's and the other two didn't look

good so we exhumed the coffins and found

the bodies of Claire Foster and Connie

day I've just finished the autopsies

they were both killed by an injection of

the same poison that killed Walter

Foster incidentally the hypo ganz was

gonna give you was filled with the same

poison no that's certainly poison

wounded

well murderers follow patterns like

everybody else what are you doing for

lunch Donna well I've got another

autopsy and appears before a carny story

but I think I can make it fine I'd like

to have a little chat with you about

toxicology and to be charming come on

reason for asking it was you'll discover

at home please Thank You mayor may I

have your attention I want to thank you

all for coming here tonight a little

unusual but I had a special reason for

asking you tonight it's a it's something

of a of a celebration I know each one of

you is haunted by the belief that among

your circle of friends there is a

murderer

but tonight you can you can vanish that

thought the case of Walter Foster is

closed yes the guilty men are in jail

and while you're all removed from

suspicion okay that's really what I want

to tell you thank you very much doctor

odd way yes mr. Travers look I don't

know how to thank you for what you've

done

can anyone hear me no we haven't

actually solved the case yet there's

someone else involved someone am more

important than Casper and gas but don't

leave that knot or soul I enjoyed our

little private chat and drink you're

quite a character dr. hard way you know

for a while I

I thought you suspected me oh I'd like

to take you into my confidence mr. Tobin

yes

I didn't tell those people the truth

that was just a little trick to little

someone to sleep actually someone in

this house is the killer but I don't

want him to suspect that I know it

that's in the strictest of confidence

I only told you this because I well I

know I can trust you yes of course I

won't even mention it to my wife thank

you yes I understand it's a privilege to

share your confidence doctor I am not

violated

the crime doctor the man who always

solves his case I have a little

confession to make that I think will

interest and surprise you what's that

I killed water Foster and I arranged to

have Claire and Connie day removed

unfortunately odd way you won't live

long enough to make use of my confession

what are you saying I won't live long

but it wasn't enough that you were blind

it was it no you still have to poke and

pry into everyone's private affairs and

even blind you're a little too dangerous

to have around so I'll give you a little

dose of the medicine the others got you

mean your poison my drink yeah but you

still have a few minutes to live you see

I was a doctor once myself until I lost

my license time years ago sword was you

who performed the operation on Kasper

and some hundred others it's a very

profitable little business I had with

gansan Casper to assist me and you spoil

it I've never known of your existence if

you hadn't killed Walter Foster why'd

you do that he tried to blackmail me he

got some information from Connie day I

see so that's why you killed her yes

Walter bear Connie and now you as for my

real estate business it was just a blind

oh yes well I think I played this little

game with you long enough to your ID

inspector he said his piece hurry I'm

back here so I can get that stuff out of

them well I've got another surprise for

you I'm also immune to your poison at

poison but leave me the drink
