this house where's your room well it's

down the end of the hall now look

Bradley well it's in the kind of a mess

that's exactly why we're gonna have a

look

pressure round up the rest of the

tenants and bring him in the landlady's

room there yeah let's look at this room

an appointment

we're from homicide well I have a

license to practice phrenology have you

a search warrant do you want to be

technical

oh no no what's the only I dream of

someday finding a policeman that has one

oh come in Jim I didn't notice anything

unusual tonight no how long have you

been asleep it's 10:00 two men dragged a

body past your door down the stairway

across the sidewalk right under your

window and you didn't hear a thing no

and I'm a light sleeper maybe your hair

was in your ear

what's that still here Oh

my bedroom did you ever go over the name

of Alfred E yeah what are you driving at

well I explain that to you later you

generally have something you want

discuss in private please go out in the

hall I want to get back to sleep you're

not the only one

sticking to it come on come on oh no

we're ready for an inspector

okay just add this to your collection

might at least let me give my necktie

see you in a minute Brad

how long was this man a patient of yours

Academy about a week ago what's his name

and address they call himself John

Foster but I don't believe that was his

right name why not well because he

didn't keep his second appointment with

me I tried to get in touch with him but

I found the address he'd given me was

non-existent soul

well the name was probably phony too

maybe the whole story is no no most

psychiatric patients are secretive

they're afraid but for a mental

condition what do you think caused his

condition well I found out that several

years ago he came to this neighborhood

on the slumming party and he had his

horoscope cast by a man named Alfred II

who told him that he'd meet a violent

death this year sounds like a lot of

malarkey to me come on let's go and see

what Bradley has rounded up for it you

were all asleep and didn't hear a sound

huh do you expect me to believe that

gentleman has it ever occurred to you

that you want to pick the wrong house

yeah well hard way no no not a chance in

the world well we've been over the joint

with a flea comb no signs of violence no

weapons not even a water pistol yeah you

can all go now except miss Farrell but

just don't take a trip out of town until

further notice well goodbye you know

where to find me if you want me good

night curly so you run the shooting

gallery huh yeah all your guns

registered are you kidding who registers

their guns well I'm all the places I

know there are 22s with live ammunition

think so well thank you miss Farrell

well you can run along now little girl

Oh Bradley check her place in the

morning will you right pleasant dreams

[Applause]

[Music]

trace of that one good there's a balance

I owe you

[Applause]

[Music]

hey you'll have to do better than this

not another cent I've already paid you

three times your original price let's

not talk about the original deal the

bargain you made without Freda didn't

include any part no matter but this is

just peanuts that's too bad

it's all the money I have yeah we're

gonna have to double the ante and like

it we found out your family's rather

than though they wouldn't give me a

nickel they might if they knew it was to

save you from the hot seat tell anyone

about me you'll only involve yourself in

one of those ways of doing those things

and don't forget we just gave you a hand

with the cleanup we didn't kill anybody

neither did I I'm protecting someone

remember get the money from them huh we

don't care who pays it we come back for

it tomorrow night

[Applause]

[Music]

no luck nothing in the picture files it

looks anything like those two apparently

they have no record in this town

probably just a couple of directories

trying to pick up some loose change on

the way through according to you murder

is only a minor offense well let's not

go over that again yeah have a look at

this

send Bradley and woody dr. Robert Ordway

was gained wide fame as a crime doctor

because of his spectacular work in

assisting the police on many homicide

cases last night was involved in one of

the most fantastic wild goose chases in

local history up to this time there's

been no signs of a body murdered or

otherwise can this be an elaborate riff

on the police department or is the

imminent crime doctor in need of a good

psychiatrist I'd like to get my hands on

the smart boy that wrote that now don't

let her get you down the police

department has to take these things all

the time well I'm not the police

department I don't think it's funny oh

the afternoon dr. Dre sent for me

inspector yeah tell the doctor what you

found out Bradley Oh check the whole

neighborhood write down the cop on the

beat found nothing

we've been climbed over the wall at the

end of that alley there's only an old

house there that's been boarded up for

years not a sign of life

believe me Ordway this is no case for

homicide in the dark you could have

easily mistaken a Carter of bruges for a

bullet wound

your young friend which has tapped with

a blackjack and rolled I bet when he

sleeps off his headache you come in and

make his uncle play all right have it

your way money I believe there's another

answer to this and I'm gonna find it

that's your pleasure sir and when you

find it let me know

[Applause]

[Music]

folks try to your scale oh I'll try

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

all right I changed my mind I'd rather

use a festival

lissa wicked little contraption isn't it

you know it's amazing are they sell

these to children for toys but a close

range they could be as deadly as 45s how

about a match for $5.00

[Music]

go on tell me what I have to be uh-huh

no go ahead you choose first

[Applause]

[Music]

it's marvelous oh don't you worry I'm

not even going to try here you are you

lose five dollars awful easy mr.

goodnight wait a minute mr. Barrow can't

you leave me alone I've had enough of

the police I'm not a policeman that's

why you need to be afraid to talk to

them there's nothing to talk about

mister you're wasting your time wait a

minute

you're gonna waste a lot of your time in

jail Ruby unless you're willing to

cooperate with me take over for me Joe

oh yeah like that with him shall have a

beer

so I'll roll you around the lake so how

do you figure the law can pin anything

on to me by simply following a straight

line of reasoning the man was killed in

the house where you live no one heard a

shot you're on a shooting gallery on

Davis Street you only air guns which

don't make any noise the man kept coming

to Davis Street and he was killed in the

house where you live sort of

ring-around-the-rosy huh with me in the

middle look doctor odd way I read the

newspapers nobody but you thinks a man

was killed that article was published

deliberately in order to make the killer

believe he's safe by the way how do you

keep track of your air guns how would

you know if one was missing a count of

every night

how many have it more than enough for

the trade I've got you haven't missed

any lately once in a while some get a

lift one mm-hmm you'll report the theft

every time I should I who cares about a

Papa wait a minute wait a minute I'm

afraid the police wouldn't accept that

excuse I don't care what they do and not

if they were really smart they

concentrate in that vacant house on

Dexter Street forget about me yes all

right they've already been there this

morning

they didn't find anything oh no it's

boarded up tight quite vacant tonight

well I wasn't thinking last night I can

see it from my room

there was a light coming through the

shutter like somebody walking around

with a candle why don't you tell us this

before isn't any of my business

oh you mean you didn't want to get mixed

up in this Mason right only thanks to

you I mixed up in it but good yes well

come on let's take a little ride we'd

have another look at that house

[Music]

the mission stays open all night if the

murder was committed in this house they

had to take the body out the back way

over the wall and down the alley pass

the room yes that's right I've ever

noticed lights in here before no I'm not

going in there alone are you why not

someone only borrowed ups to commit a

murder they're not likely to be hanging

around but hadn't you better phone the

police got a search warrant or something

no I won't be charged with illegal entry

you wait here

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you know that's the same fellow he

bumped into last night yeah Oh what are

we gonna do it it's a cinch we're not

gonna take him with us

come on get your hat let's move

[Music]

hard wait how do you feel terrible thank

you oh don't worry boys I'm not going to

say I told you something okay so we

found a body but you should talk after

the stunt you pulled last night letting

that gal lead you into a trap well

you're lucky you didn't wind up in the

same place your friend did yes I guess

you got something bad I guess the boys

didn't feel like lugging another body to

the Crematory

well they had a brilliant idea though

well there wouldn't have been a trace

left of that guy after the next

cremation it's a good thing the retort

was out of water and had to be repaired

we found this on the body fella farm

strong alias John Foster yeah we're

checking with the army and we sent out a

general alarm for the two strong-armed

boys

Bradley tell him what the coroner found

well you were right about that fella

having been shot but he wasn't shot with

an ordinary gun the killer used an air

pistol yeah there's a small hole in the

right temple the slug was still inside

came from a pop gun all right we picked

up the shooting gallery damn and we're

holding her on suspicion of murder

hello

no this Bradley okay we went up to the

Dexter Street house and found him living

there they must be from out of town and

had no place else to go is that the city

clerk giving you the dope on the house

okay thanks

yeah the owner's name is Gerald Potter

he lives at 1900 Fenway Road well we'll

go round and see mr. Connor and ask him

some questions I don't suppose you feel

well enough to come a long way if you

try and stop me we'll be delighted to

have you

[Music]

yes I'm inspector Manning we'd like to

see mr. Connor

won't you please come in nightly step

this way and tell mr. Connor you're here

yeah

ah nice cozy little place huh yeah

certainly it oh say okay look here money

let's not make it a point that I was

well you know it wasn't exactly legal

breaking into that man's house that way

if he wants to charge you with

housebreaking I can't stop him but don't

worry I'll get you a nice comfortable

cell oh thank you thank you so much you

wish to see me are you Gerald Cotter yes

I'm inspector Manning this is doctor odd

way why did you wish to see me it's

about that house of yours on Dexter

Street what about it

who are the two men living there did you

hire them as caretakers you must be

talking about another house my place

hasn't been lived in for years oh oh

it's yours alright and we have reason to

believe that a man was killed there a

couple of nights ago but that's

preposterous my house has been locked

and boarded up and I have all the keys

well just the same we can prove it

the two men were there last night and

we've been able to identify the body has

that a Philip Armstrong Philip Armstrong

I read he's dead I heard you said

Philips dead

I'm afraid so miss Conner isn't there

anyone closer to her than a servant

Irene and I are the only ones left with

the family I don't like to trouble you

at a time like this mr. Connor but just

how much did you know about Philip

Armstrong he was a very fine boy he had

planned a career as an architect before

the war oddly enough he and I have

discussed remodeling the old house only

the day before he was killed did you

give him the keys to the place no I

think I told you I had them all in my

possession

well maybe Armstrong passed by there

that night noticed lights inside and

went in to investigate that seems the

only explanation he certainly was not

involved with men like that

the house is partly furnished mr. cutter

there the bedroom upstairs seems to be

more or less intact may I ask why

my wife died there I've kept the room as

it was I suppose you think that's very

sentimental and foolish oh no I'm a

doctor mr. carasau I understand

perfectly

well I guess that's all for now well

goodbye sir I'm sorry that we had to be

the bearers of such tragic news but if I

can be of any help please call me thank

you goodbye goodbye goodbye mr. Connor

no one allowed on these grounds this is

private property

that's okay pop we just came to see Miss

Natalie cutter well why don't you go up

to the front door Nance pour well this

is kind of a private visit I think you

can fix it for us nope

why not

[Applause]

I asked you why not because miss Natalie

ain't here she ain't been here for three

years

[Applause]

[Music]

gonna do

God never gives us burdens greater than

we can bear Martha you don't know all

Natalie always help why don't you try to

take a little nap

I can't would you like me to call your

father no no he forced Natalie out of

the house he didn't care about my

feelings

you know Martha a long time ago when I

first met Phil Natalie warned me against

falling in love with him she said you'd

bring me nothing I'm sorry

[Music]

Irene

[Music]

I'm going out

[Music]

I read where are you going

Oh anywhere away from here you never

have forgiven me help you why did you

send her away

I need her so badly now let's not go

into all that again that's right you'll

never really understand what you've done

to me Oh miss Irene

I heard what happened I'm awfully sorry

thank you do you think I could see mr.

cutter now why Tom there were two

strange men here asking for Miss Natalie

Natalie who were they what did they look

like

well they were no good they even tried

to get rough with me but I drove them

away Oh Tom why didn't you call me

Natalie must be back in town and she may

be in trouble I'm sorry miss Irene but I

only did what I thought was right

of course you couldn't no Tom don't say

anything about this to my father he

hasn't been well and it might make him

worse you understand and if those two

men come back make them stay until I can

talk to them

promise me all right miss Irene I

promise

[Music]

it's about time you showed up remember

we had a date for last night come in

[Music]

we thought maybe you ran out on us

really I thought you'd be doing the

running have you got the money

nope did you go see your old man sure

she's lying we were there you shouldn't

try to fool us

why don't you expect to gain by snooping

around my father's place you read the

papers don't you after last night this

town is too hot to stall any longer

hadn't been for your stupidity the

police never would have known there'd

been a murder save it save it I know

what you're trying to do but look sister

if we have to blow town without that

dough okay but from somewhere along the

road there'll be a phone call to the

cops that'll put you right in their laps

you'd do that wouldn't you

[Music]

all right I'm just getting upset about

it I'll get you the money somehow well

that sounds more like it

[Music]

[Applause]

we're all in this together

it's no use making it worse by

quarreling among ourselves

[Music]

I'll fix you a drink

hello yeah hope I haven't kept you

waiting my last point took me longer

than I expected it so nice of you to do

this fun Oh singer deadly they serve a

marvelous crab Louie hear that sound all

right - I love it - crab lowest place

yes and bring some hors d'oeuvres first

Devon crab Louie thank you

well I thought you'd feel more

comfortable here and more at ease and

that police headquarters besides their

few questions about Phillip Armstrong

you might be able to answer cigarette no

thank you

is there any news any trace of those two

men no not yet and this girl Ruby

Farrell the papers say the police are

holding her as a suspect I can't believe

that she killed Phillip she'd have no

reason to unless unless she she were

involved with him in some way no I don't

think she even knew him but if he was

killed with her gun she must know

something about it yes I think she does

I'm afraid you're being too clever for

me I guess I didn't make myself very

clear

now I believe that subconsciously Ruby

knows the most likely person to have

stolen their gun

how can that be well we see hundreds of

persons each day hold no particular

interest for us but the images are

registered in the brain and they are

filed away below the level of

consciousness we call them latent

memories can these latent members be

brought out

oh yeah that's quite often I'm going to

see Ruby again today I may have some use

for you later thank you

you've seen those stood the shock

remarkably well I don't know that I have

it's more that I feel completely numb I

haven't even cried well I don't come

later don't try to hold it back

Natalie used to say that crying was a

sign of weakness she said I did too much

of Natalie my sister oh I didn't know

you had a sister

oh yes she practically brought me up I

guess I depended on her much too much

she was so strong and capable and I

needed someone to lean on where's your

sister now I wish I knew she left home

three years ago and we haven't heard

from her since

I see well I seem to be asking all the

questions what was it you wanted to know

doctor hard way

well the main stumbling block seems to

be that we can't find any motive for

Phillip Armstrong's death and the

inspectors theory is just to Pat to be

convincing tell me how long had you

known Philip since before the war cop

will your doctored way oh thank you

hello

oh yes inspector oh what's that what's

the address again all right I'll be over

right away right away I'm sorry miss

Caron I'll have to leave now inspector

Manning thinks they found those two men

oh I hope they're right you'll know them

when you see them yes I will of course

I'll phone you at the house a little

later and I'll take care of the check on

the way up

no smoking dr. rod wait still danger an

explosion Oh like a hello our Duane

hello inspector come on in have a look

yeah sure all right those are the men

the medical examiner said they died from

asphyxiation but the janitor told us

when he came in around noontime that the

gas valves on the living room heater a

wide open

well maybe the boys got too drunk they

forgot to light the gas after they

turned it on that's what we thought at

first but there seems to be one thing

that just doesn't jibe what's that these

guys didn't live here

the janitor never saw them before he

rented the apartment to a woman who

might in her own business

these are smartly tailored but they're

no store labels on them and all on

remarks on these things including the

gloves well Bradley

yes sir gather this stuff up and bring

it down to headquarters well yeah yes

sir nobody in the building knew the

woman nobody knows where she works if

she does work how long has she lived

here about three months

any description over well she's about 25

or 26 years old has blonde hair wears

dark glasses and called yourself Jane

Roberts which may be an assumed name now

the question is was she working with

them or did they give her the same

treatment they gave Armstrong well my

guess is that they were working together

chances are they quarreled and she put

him to sleep for good Oh before I forget

here's a book we found in one of their

pockets just look under the letter rates

there between Harriet and Helen L free D

yeah I remembered that routine you gave

me about Armstrong and his fortune

teller and I thought it might interests

you well you can say that again I'm

gonna have him picked up why don't you

come down to headquarters with me now

all right

I repeat that I've never seen these men

you speak of I know absolutely nothing

about them how do you account for your

name in this book perhaps the man wanted

to have his horoscope cast and he was

referred to me by one of my clients

what about Philip Armstrong must you

always ask the same questions over and

over again I don't deny this man arms

tour may have come to see me at one time

many people come to see me do you make a

habit of predicting death for them only

when the stars show it always stop

kidding ourselves a fortune-teller never

predicts anyone's death stars are no

stars that's not the way you make a

living you want to keep your customers

who paid you the force care in the

Armstrong or had you already made up

your mind to kill him later I refuse to

be treated this way you've dragged me

down here without reason to subject me

to this this humiliation as all common

criminal Bradley Hall this mantle will

complete a check on him if you're right

about hemstead framing Armstrong then

the motive for his murder dates back a

long time

mm-hmm look while you're checking on Al

Freddie I'm gonna have a talk with a

ruby Farrell I'll be back shortly

all right now think carefully before you

answer because your freedom may depend

on it a blonde in a middle 20s very well

dressed and wearing dark glasses that's

all you can tell me that's awful now she

very like they cased your place for a

few days she probably used your guns

just like any other customer she may

have come alone or with someone oh oh no

that's why I take your time nothing wait

a minute I think I do remember now sure

the girl might tell a tweed suit

it must have set it back all over a

hundred bucks I remember thinking I give

an eye tooth for one like it did you

wear glasses she sure did

did she always come along yes Turkey a

doctor are Duane will you tell him to

let me out now I'll do all I can for you

really believe me

anything in the files on hemstead not

yet

how'd you come out with Ruby feral well

I gave her a description of the woman

we're looking for Ruby said she came to

her place several times

well that's something but it doesn't

give us much to work on no I know I've

got a hunch that to Alfred he knows more

about this and he's willing to admit no

let's see if we can't Bluff it out of

him uh-huh a brain hampstead in again

sit down he's all yours

mr. Hampstead we find that we have no

charge against you at this time

I'm glad to understand laughs yes but we

feel that you've not taken us into your

confidence but have nothing to tell you

when we mentioned the fact before that

two men were found dead from

asphyxiation we emitted one little

detail namely they've been murdered or

now we don't mean to insinuate that that

you had any direct connection with their

deaths all the death of Philip Armstrong

no we we know that all three were killed

by a woman the last two victims for a

very old but very good reason they knew

too much

but you must consider now is this if

this woman believe that you have any

information at all concerning her is she

gonna let you remain a lie how you can

take your own chances of course but

remember this

she's already silenced to it yeah all

right I don't know anything if she

killed my friends and she lied to me she

got me to dismissal Armstrong then you

admit your connection with his murders

certainly not I only sent the boys to

throw a scare into him oh just rough him

up a little bit and that's what she told

me she wanted me more and you believed

her sure she had a good reason yeah the

same one she had before I suppose when

she paid you to catch that phony a

horoscope yes she said armsan was just a

chiseler all he wanted was her sister's

money cyst yeah wait a minute now I can

tell you her name it's Natalie Conner

anything about that she would kill him

called Nevada the details for the jury

general alarm on this Natalie Conner

[Music]

from childhood Natalie exercised an

extremely jealous and possessive control

over her sister

poor Irene was so devoted to her that

she never even attempted to assert

herself finally when Natalie attempted

to break off Irene's engagement to

Phillip there was a quarrel and Natalie

left home there yes shortly after that

she wrote Irene a letter from New

Orleans but gave no address and you

haven't heard from her since no I knew

had no idea that she was back in town

none but I can promise you one thing

even though she is my daughter I will

make no attempt to shield her

oh I just hung up the phone after

talking with you I'm sorry I behaved so

badly this afternoon oh please don't

apologize I understand thank you doctor

hard way I still can't figure out what

you expect to find here after the police

made such a thorough search of the place

I'd like to have just one more look at

your mother's room

I thought the police we're gonna keep

watch on the house no they've written

this place off their books

[Music]

or why your father ever put this place

up for sale for sentimental reasons at

first and later on because of property

loss its value I know he'd sell now

phony Phillipa do they have some plans

for remodeling the place I believe

[Music]

you

have you found something yes I've got a

call inspector Manning by the way I

wonder if you do me a favor

come on did you go next door and

telephone for Mia I want to stay with us

there there may be more evidence

[Music]

you may as well come out of hiding dr.

hardway so you walk in here with Irene

[Music]

I see you're quite handy with all types

of guns that's right

this happens to be a 32 I knew I

couldn't come as close to you as I came

to Philip turn around walk towards the

door

[Music]

aren't you forgetting about Irene she

comes back you won't be here

light those candles Bradley that was

perfect timing Manning the signal came

through the shutters okay we saw the

light go out your husband will be glad

to know that he was mistaken about your

death

he wasn't mistaken what do you mean

i arene Connor yessum posing as her

sister Natalie she committed the three

murders so your masquerade was just a

trick to keep suspicion away from

yourself

my old man II know the murder didn't

cause the masquerade it was the other

way around well and it's way over my

head well I'll try to explain it briefly

Miss Connor is a typical example of a

rather unusual psychosis as I rain she

was timid and repressed that's why her

sister was able to dominate her so

completely after Natalie left you were

totally lost weren't you and the only

way you could adjust yourself was by

literally assuming her identity the

pretense eventually became an actuality

she underwent a complete psychological

split during such times as she was

impersonating Natalie her thoughts and

her actions became those of her sister

and Armstrong somehow discovered this

complex didn't he I was afraid you'd

tell my father he made me promise to

come to you for help

well why didn't you come I was afraid

you'd put me away

I knew thought it would keep insisting

and was the only way I could save myself

so you stole the gun from Ruby because

it couldn't be traced then you made a

date with Phillip to meet you here and

you turned the tables on him the way you

did with me

all right Bradley take miss Carter down

to the car pick up that coat she dropped

by the front door she was wearing it

over the clothes she has on now this is

what turned the trick she actually

believed that she left her glove here

yeah this has been a strange case

Manning I'm strong with fuel and the

Carter girl with a split personality

but personality I'll say doctor I'd like

to have you see my wife split

personality no personality

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you
