just a minute I want Winston to have a

look.

Oh would you take care of that Gerry

thing okay so bad pretty girl you

wouldn't notice that sitting up yeah

okay doc

say how did you know about that dinner

party 13 years ago Oh every man his dog

knows that story around here Morgan's

senior drop dead just Apple they all sat

down to the table the old lady she was

young man must have been a little bit

cracked herself she wouldn't allow a

thing to be touched just closed up the

house and moved up and that's that and

all these guys have been waiting for the

dinner ever since mom give me the

willies every time I think of it well

don't think then yeah you know who the

girl is

sure daughter Marie Morgan had her whole

life's history in a handbag but no

address the driver that brought her out

here said he picked her up on the corner

of 59th and Park Department house no on

the corner we've been checking up on the

apartment I was around there now how was

she killed

hang widely here the doc hasn't said for

sure yet but it looks like she was

electrocuted electrocuted

now I thought of that too not a wire on

it that was it electricity enough to

kill her but not to burn the body I

wonder where she got it

hey that lect in the living room I'll

get it well what about that light in the

living room hey Don I tried to open

every socket in the room that don't work

oh maybe the Globes burned out never

charged with that okay anyway I don't

think I'd go around trying light sockets

if I were you

why didn't it occur to you that a young

lady was electrocuted here tonight and

that she might have been trying light

sockets

hello operator see if it and trace that

call and ring me back make it snappy yes

darling there's been a murder

you read all about it from the morning

papers she listened in on all the other

calls why the devil didn't you listen in

on that one what was it I don't know I

just heard the receiver going up after I

answered hello

captain Ryan speaking sound Hotel thank

you sister.

Oh beat it over the sound hotel and see

if we can trace that call get a list of

all the guests and all the telephone

calls after midnight and don't move it

oh and don't go to sleep oh well how am

I going to get there you can drive a car

can't you sweetheart take mine and feed

it yes that guy's uncle don't die soon

I'll be a nervous wreck who's the uncle

just a big boss in the city that's all

oh-ho so that's why it's on the force

you don't suppose because you got any

brains

well obvious what are you laughing at

nothing I just think it's funny

I'm glad you invited me down

come on boy

yeah okay sit down I'll see you in a few

minutes do they identify the body yes

sir

there's one of you is the brother I am

friend of yours yes and of my sister

alright boys I won't keep you long

either of you know a man named Barksdale

yes we both do

he was my father's lawyer is he still

handling the estate yes why we'll ask

the questions if you don't mind son

wasn't your father's will a little

unusual it was quite unusual he provided

for my mother for Marie and me left the

bulk of the estate to the thirteenth

guest who was that we don't know the

thirteenth guests never arrived

screwie anything else about this guest

no except that we always suppose that

he'd come forward and be named when we

became of age well what'll that be well

why do you suppose that might have had

something to do with it Marie was 21

yesterday what yeah Boxtel call it the

other day and told you I'm not

interested in that

well I am alright be interested wait a

minute where you going out I'll see you

later hey but

I suppose you were at that dinner part

of your Polly gave yeah how'd your

sister's hit that night my eye beside my

father she always had that which side

one is right

will you draw me a diagram of that table

name the people in the seating

arrangement and if any of them have died

since make a note of it have you kept in

touch with the family when we couldn't

avoid it well put down their addresses

and leave it with a captain here Thanks

do you remember how we set that night

yes I think so

were you there well I was visiting there

we were just kids then but it isn't easy

to forget a thing like that dinner party

I suppose not

I've got a hunch I'll be thinking about

it for some time myself let's hear about

that phone call from Barksdale and I'll

let you go well there there isn't much

to it except that Barksdale called her a

few days ago and gave us an instructions

something she was supposed to do on a

21st birthday and you don't remember

what they were I know she wouldn't tell

me and we're supposed to find the answer

does anybody know anything what's the

matter with the old man besides being

nuts are you sure the dinner wasn't held

in an insane asylum

what try and calm down take these voices

of the next office and give them some

paper and pencils and send Carter in yes

you boys better stick around we might

want you that's too bad son take care of

yourself and what do you mean nothing

much you mean they might go after me I'm

right

I don't think I'd care if they did well

we would the cost the department allow

the dough to investigate a murder well

in that case I'll be careful.

Thanks you've been very considerate

today that's all right son

well what do you think I can't think I'm

numb why the devil does a man have to go

through all that hocus-pocus just to

leave a will it burns me up well stop

burning Carl may happy yeah hey Carter

let's see what you got

yes sir here the deposit slips to the

telephones lights parted but ones on.

Barksdale Barksdale so that's where

you've got of that yeah feel better now

I'm safe wait'll I lay my hands on this

guy also a man answering to Barksdale

description registered at the sound

name of Perry and at 122 put in a call

to Douglas and nine six eight then

boys on those two kids in there they may

be all right and again they may not yes

sir

Barksdale wanted for questioning on the

Morgan murder case last seen on Long.

Island driving a Packard touring license

unknown description 50 years six feet

grey hair eyes brown that is all

ah.

[Applause]

[Music]

Hello

hello.

I don't care you call me all the name

here warning I have brought out on names

to cardio I don't care mister wishin if

you to hurt it good

what does it sound like room like harsh

party and the devil and a couple of a

nice throat in that could you give me an

idea of what it sounded like kinda

retarded kind of up like it's kind of

like it perhaps if you tried it again

bro yeah well don't you know they're

being rugby shut up

I was only trying shot up get out

[Music]

Director who put all them books there so

what I did you go to sleep today I don't

think so you don't think so get out of

my sight before I kill you yeah hey so

Clint you come here where are you

is he dead

it's Barksdale can you beat that certain

house upstairs and down yes sir

nothing that'll do much good

well what's the answer it's got me

worried plenty me too but I'm beginning

to be glad that I wasn't invited to that

dinner party years ago yeah here's the

diagram young Morgan through today take

a look at the seating arrangement first

we find the girl's body in the chair

that she sat in that night and now this

are you beginning to get the idea

gee yes yet gods Phil are they gonna

blind this table with stiffs that's the

way it looks

unless we do something but but that's

crazy

it very nearly confirms one thing though

the person doing it was at the table

that night.

I've got a thought.

Oh.

[Applause]

How'd you get out of the morgue I

haven't been in anymore

take your hands off me be nice I'm gonna

let me alone do you want me to spank you

hold still

that's a good little girl what's your

name.

Marie Morgan yes what did you say I

asked this child here if she would Marie

Morgan I know child will you shut up and

she said yes and she said yes I don't

know maybe it's something I ate this is

the nightmare

where did you pick her up riding around

in your car in Marta I was on my way the

police station yes and baby you're still

on your way to the police station take

it out and lock her up I've got some

things I want to ask her about you can't

arrest me Oh can't I

that's what they all say maybe it's all

a mistake and maybe you can explain

everything out but you won't say a word

until you see your lawyer

well I won't all right baby come and see

your lawyer itself to a good look

marjory that's right do you know

anything about it no what can this mean

that's what we're gonna find out take

our luck in the library did we get

through here what she headed for police

station she was going in that direction

call up city headquarters and report

this call a coroner and stick around

outside yes sir no why did you ask that

girl if she was Marie Morgan I think she

is what about the other Dame there are

no twins no but the other girl had

several small scars around her face

didn't you notice them yes but I didn't

think anything about it

well I did I thought she'd had her face

lifted well what a blasted idiot I have

been that's why you were so surprised

when her brother told you she was 21

certainly no kid that age is going to

have her face lifted and you beat it

back to the morgue to have another look

right and took a good plastic surgeon

with me she hadn't had her face lifted

she'd had it completely made over well

I'll be now that commenced to make sense.

Barksdale made an appointment with the

real Marie Morgan to meet him here they

planned to kill her and stuff she took

the other girl who planned to kill her

huh Barksdale made the appointment yes

but if Barksdale was in on it but she

may have been who killed the gentlemen

on your right

little bo-peep

operator

I wouldn't do that if I were you

police might not like it I was only

trying to call my brother we will call

him later you're going to take a ride

with me where to my apartment she'd be

safer in jail don't worry she won't get

away I didn't mean that I said she'd be

safer in jail and you may go to the

devil

mr. Adams mr. Winston

why my dear child why I'm almost afraid

to touch you what is the meaning of all

this why I'll have to send back that

cutaway I ordered for your funeral you

wear those to wedding is not funerals

this is uncle Adams the worst old

reprobate who ever lived.

My dear you are coming quite a lot of

territory how do you do mr. Winston I'm

delighted how do you do if you give him

a drink guys think he make you still one

of the B scotch and Soda that's printed.

Thanks easy on the soda

[Applause]

Okay on if you want my opinion it's

uncle Adams who's been committing all

the murders all the murders mr.

Barksdale was murdered today in the old

house Boxster my word not that I ever

liked you or whatever you understand but

but murders well what's the meaning of

it mr. Winston you're investigating the

case I suppose unofficially I'm a friend

of captain Ryan yes yes of course I've

heard of you

well have you any accused don't you call

them any ideas no but he has a laugh for

you really well this happened you're

next what

according to mr. Winston's Ferry you're

next on the list unless of course you've

been doing the murders yourself

you boys have the most acute sense of

humor must be some more of the family

I'm doing the resurrection egg and

enjoying a ferry if I know y'all

you certainly startled me did I know if

you would explain your reasons well for

heaven's sake I thought you were dead

disappointed well why be a hypocrite you

know I've always hated your Marjorie if

you say that word again out of the zone

what our laws

is this for private use only I suppose

your Winston at your service I may take

you up on that mm-hmm

if this is another one of your jokes.

Murray I must say it's in bad taste

I've been simply frustrated all day I'll

bet you have bridge always tires mother.

Marjorie they tried to kill me

are you glad I'm alive am I glad I think

you are but what does it mean since they

made us go down and look at that that

other girl was you did you cry well to

tell you the truth money week

we both went home and got potted that's

just as good mr. Winston had the whole

family here he says one of them is the

murderer I'm getting odds on Uncle Adam

weirdo Adams he's too lazy to commit a

murder

but tell me darling what happened to you

oh well here we are just one big happy

family

well hello Thor who was that blonde I

saw you with the other night there was

no blonde and you know it dear Marjorie

your soul must look like the inside of a

vinegar bottle hi Jove it's a good idea

I wish I had thought of it yourself

what's that kill your family it must be

some poor soul that had the misfortune

to dine with us when we were all

together I think you're right someone

who dined with you 13 years ago oh you

mean the night that John read that

stupid will and then died

well mercy don't over me I didn't kill

him

no one killed him as far as we know does

anyone here know the present whereabouts

of Wayne Seymour the last time I saw him

I got an impression that he was going to

spend the rest of his days at number

nine Yokohama I see you know your.

Yokohama mr. Winston I've traveled a bit

with the exception of Wayne Seymour you

people were the only guests at that

dinner who are still alive

well we're dead from the neck up speak

to yourself John I'll speak if you don't

mind go ahead but a few snappy jokes

injected here and there would make a

world of difference you see we're

accustomed to public speaking I'm afraid

this isn't a joking matter it looks as

if someone is determined to kill every

person who attended that dinner thirteen

years ago they've already killed two

people too

yes a girl mistaken for Miss Morgan and

John Barksdale Boxtel murdered very much

so and in both cases the bodies were

found in the chairs occupied by that

person at the dinner and as Captain Ryan

so elegantly describes it the murderer

intends to line the table with stiffs

oh how vulgar well thank goodness I was

under the table most of the time yes

pinching me oh I was a cute youngster

always full of fun someday I'll look at

your baby pictures but just now we're

discussing murder which automatically

makes one think of the Margaery speak

for yourself John shall we go on with

this or just turn it into a family

reunion well why not have a blind

protest couldn't matter which one you

picked we'd all cut each other's throats

for a dime why a dime I cut yours for

fun

give me police headquarters detective

bureau captain Brown's office well it

isn't every day you get a chance to see

a mastermind at work hello who's this

speaking oh well this is Winston send

the wagon to my apartment and issue for

John Doe and three Jane Doe warrants

material witnesses in the Morgan case

right I've got them here really you're

quite amusing mr. Winston thank you

you'll like the matron in the city jail

too

she's one of the Philadelphia Smith

perhaps by this time you're beginning to

see that I mean business now then you

want to stop trying to be clever or do

you want to spend the night in jail

so the men have separate Ward's from the

women I think you settled it then young

lady night in jail may make you people

see that murder isn't amusing this is an

outrage it's always murder oh you can't

do this wait and see I break into this

the governor is a personal friend of

mine and of mine and I happen to know

that he's a little funny when it comes

to murder he doesn't like it don't be a

lot of fools he doesn't intend ascenders

syc good evening sergeant greevey sir

have you the warrants desert yes yes all

signed and in order all right take these

people down and lock them up yes sir all

right step lively my dumansky my lawyer

miss Morgan saw her lawyer today and I

don't think she enjoyed it you'll be

sorry for this

good night when a beer

wincing good night my dear and the

sweet dream.

[Applause]

Don't.

[Applause]

Oh come on down Derry we've got another

corpse

what what what the family's all locked

up.

Yeah sure you're a smart guy

I don't know I'm over it

you're coming down okay get me the

police station Oh give me the desk

sergeant the city jail yeah hello this

is Winston private investigated on the

Morgan case I sent down seven of the

upper crust for you will you send

somebody in and see if they're all there

yes hey Mike take a look at the 400 and

see if they're all there

okay sergeant

don't touch her magic hey what's the

matter what

[Laughter]

Yes I know you're gonna write a letter

to the Commissioner say what are you

trying to do rip me Jimmy no say if you

guys don't tell me up there's gonna be a

murder

well that's what we're here for two

murders he did them what hey pipe down

yeah hide among oh go read your ticker I

want to know what Steel's doing all

there sergeant

okay all I mr. Winston okay thanks oh

wait a minute turn them all loose but I

put a man on each one of them no I'll be

responsible

why runs over here men don't know place

at all I've scoured the whole house now

the only answer is there must be a

closet or a room somewhere that we don't

know anything about I don't want to do

anything about it all right bill Thank.

You snappy yeah cut it right there

what do you make of that huh I wonder

steal great guns nothing rubber about

that come on let's get out of here

I've seen sights but that one another a

neat way of doing it though huh I don't

think it's neat fiendish is the devil do

you realize that the murderer left that

switch all not carrying who got killed

and while he's asleep in the county jail

he commits another murder but he wasn't

here to turn off the switch and bring

the body in here I think that cinches it

but which one well you saw them which is

the most likely well the odds are about

even there's a cousin Margery who'd

commit murder just for the fun of it and

their mother to kill anything that stood

in her way but I think it stands between

the two uncles Addams is a smooth and

old devil as I've ever seen

but Thornton's deep you know the big

businessman would stop at nothing what

about the brother and his boyfriend well

I think they're all right Jensen's in

love with the girl and her brother seems

genuinely fond of her

what's the girl's story oh she says

someone shot her in the dark she ran

upstairs and hid and by the way she

heard that same cry that grump heard and

according to heard wasn't particularly

pleasant just the same I'd like to hear

it then what else did she do besides

steal my car well she said she came back

down was about to be towed out the front

door when she heard a car and motorcycle

driver said by that time she didn't know

where to turn and when she came in here

and saw her double sitting cold and

stiff at the table she did go nuts got

scared of the police as well as the rest

hidden the cellar and then stole the car

she hid out all the next day thought

better of it and was on her way to the

station when they picked her up it's

logical Barksdale asked her out here yes

and what they were all after I think was

a slip of paper that she'd got that day

at the bank which doesn't make much

sense of course unless it's a safe

combination

what was it 13131313 I'd like to get

old man Morgan alone for about 10

minutes I'd teach the old Buzzard how to

write a will

well we got the family down here and try

and sweat it out of them actually put a

close watch on them and see who comes

down here oh I'm in favor of the last

now our friend may get curious and come

down to see if he's had another killing

then we keep this last one quiet huh

that's right I've got a hunch it's the

missing uncle look I'm gonna call miss

Morgan call a car or two with you I'm

kind of ashamed Ripper cuz I've bothered

him so much lately thank you well this

is the kind of serious I'm gonna get I'm

gonna get killed every day hello

department how'd you like our City Jail

listen child I want you to destroy that

strip of paper at once and don't tell

anyone what was written on it not even

your brother but

no one's accusing your brother they

listen don't you get too smart you know

there's a distinct prejudice in the

police department against little girls

who go around stealing police cars oh

you're not well 21 is a mere drop in the

bucket

what say will you shut up and let me

talk now listen don't tell anyone those

numbers and if anyone tries to get them

out of you let me know immediately will

you do that like a sweet little girl

that was a great win yeah what did he

want

he told me not to tell anybody the

numbers on that slip of paper numbers 13

1313 we're gonna say don't tell him I

told you

impersonate someone and then kill the

impersonator Jensen tried to kill miss

Morgan but somebody else killed the girl

thinking it was miss Morgan Jensen knew

the difference there have been two

different factions working in this

against each other when it but where's

exactly get an axe break that wall in

and son you'd better go on back to the

my dear child I'm making a rather

melodramatic attempt to protect your

fortune but if I am right about the

other members of the family it is almost

certain to reveal them to you in their

true light so that you will not make the

same mistake I made when I married into

killed each other off by the time you

receive this your father it's sad but

it's also darn good advice what they're

not to marry into a screwy family

went

when you have told me to tailor
