sorry thank
you sorry sir public Gallery SP I'm
looking for Chief Inspector Parker he
exp you sir uh I believe sir right you
sir court number one the ush will show
you the way I'm abl come along please
there's no more room inside and you're
obstructing the entrance the case for
the crown is that Harriet Bane murdered
Philip boy with
aric the defense do not dispute that
death was due to arsenical poisoning and
that you must accept the only question
that remains for you is whether in fact
that arnik was deliberately administered
by the prisoner with intent to
murder the deceased Philip boy was as
you've heard a writer he was 36 years
old and he published five novels and
other literary works works sometimes
described as of an advanced type they
preached doctrines which may seem to
some of us immoral or sedici such as
atheism and Anarchy and uh what is known
as free
love there chief officer thank you what
are you doing here Peter I've been
following the case in the newspapers now
you've come for the
kill
Charles I I think you've made a mistake
I'm sure I've made many no CH yeah I'll
catch up with you shall I leave the
gentleman with you sir yes yes I'll look
after him this young woman had it been
she didn't do it will you tell me why
it's a hunch as yet ah a hunch um could
you squeeze me in yes come with me I'll
get you in the back way your mother's
here and your friend Mr arath not and M
Freddy H what are they doing here I
think all of London's here the prisoner
is also a novelist by
profession and it is very important to
remember that she is a writer of
so-called mystery or detective
stories stories that deal with various
ingenious methods of committing murder
and other
crimes his other just started his suming
up soon weing like a mouse
I don't give much for her chances
father's life there's hope not very much
time the prisoner
herself The Prisoner herself has told us
with great cander how she became
attached to Philip boy and how for a
considerable time she held out against
his Persuasions to live with him in an
irregular
manner there was in fact no reason at
all why he should not have married her
honorably but apparently he represented
himself as being conscientiously opposed
to any formal
marriage you have the evidence of Sylvia
Maria to nin price that the prisoner was
made very
unhappy uh by the attitude which he
chose to take up at any rate in November
of
1927 The Prisoner warn out as she tells
us by his unceasing
importunities GIS consented to live on
terms of intimacy with him she's got
complet the bonds of marriage now you
may feel and quite properly that this
was a very wrong thing to
do however various friends have
testified that they apparently continued
to live on terms of the greatest Mutual
affection for nearly a year until in
October of
1928 boys finally offered her a legal
marriage now you may find this
surprising but this offer caused the
prisoner to become angry with boys angry
with him because after persuading her
against her will to adopt his principles
of conduct he had then renounced these
principles and as she says made a fool
of her and as a result there was a
quarrel and the couple separated Miss
Bain seeking temporary Refuge with her
friend Sylvia
marot after a short while Harriet Bain
leaves the sanctuary of Miss marriot's
establishment and takes a small flat in
Dy Street while Philip boy accepts the
invitation of his cousin Mr Norman
to stay at his house in Ren
Square although living in the same
quarter of London boys and the accused
do not seem to have met very often after
the
separation but there's some evidence of
a meeting towards the end of November
and another in the second week of
December and a third in January of this
year these times are worth
noting we now come to a date of the very
greatest
importance on Monday December the 10th
1928 a young woman who's been identified
as Harriet vain entered a chemist's shop
kept by Mr Brown in Southampton row and
purchased 2 ounces of commercial
arsenic saying she needed it to destroy
R all I need is your signature she
signed the poison book in the name of
Mary Slater
and on Saturday January the 5th we have
another purchase of
arsenic this time she gave the name of
Edith
Waters The Prisoner has given an
explanation of these purchases which you
might consider for what it's worth she
says that she was engaged at that time
in writing a novel about poisoning and
that she bought the drugs in order to
prove by experiment how easy it was for
an ordinary person to get hold of deadly
poisons now these dates the 10th of
December last and the 5th of
January there is a coincidence here
which may be of significance three sets
of
coincidences harot ban and Philip boy
met towards the end of
November and he has an attack of
gastritis on November the
30th on December the 10th Harriet vain
purchases 2 ounces of arsenic they meet
again in the second week of December and
on December the 15th he has another
attack on January the 5th there is the
purchase of weed
killer they meet again soon after that
and on January the
12th he is taken ill for the third
time on his doctor's advice he goes to
visit his friend Mr Ryland Vaughn
and stays with him for a while in
Wales this ought to blow the cobwebs
away
yes I say are you all right it's just a
twinge oh dashit I should never have
brought you up here no no Tommy's all
right more the
heart you have heard Mr vaugh testify
that Philip boy was not happy in fact Mr
Vaughn formed the opinion he was
fretting after Harriet
Vain and on February the 16th we found
him writing a letter to miss vain an
important letter I will refresh your
memory no no no not this one
dear Harriet life is an utter mess up I
can't stick it out here any longer I've
decided to cut a drift and take a trip
out west but before I go I want to see
you once again and find out if it isn't
possible to put things straight between
us you must do as you like of course but
I still cannot understand the attitude
you take up if if I can't make you see
the thing in the right perspective this
time I'll Chuck it in for good now that
is a most ambiguous
letter you've heard learned Council for
the defense suggest that certain phrases
indicate an intention by the deceased to
do away with himself if he could not
affect a reconciliation with the
accused be that as it may we now come to
the accused's letter in reply
thank you dear Phil you can come around
at 9:30 on the 20th if you like you
certainly will not make me change my
mind and it is simply signed
H we now come to that day February the
20th the deceased had dinner with his
cousin Mr Norman eret nothing at all
unusual in his manner or appearance was
noticed either by Mr uret or by the maid
who waited at table
dinner was served at 8:00 exactly and I
think it would be a good thing if you'd
note down that time and also the list of
things eaten and
drunk the two cousins dined alone
together and first by way of cocktails
each had a glass of
cherry the wine was a a fine Roo
1847 and the maate decanted it from a
fresh
bottle we have here two witnesses the m
Hannah Westlock and of course the cook
Mrs pacan both of whom have given the
impression of being sensible and
observant Witnesses well there was the
Sher then came a cup of cold bu served
by Hannah Westlock from the terine on
the
sideboard both men had some and after
dinner The Bu was finished by Miss
Westlock and the cook in the
kitchen after the soup came a piece of
turbet with sauce the portions were
again served from the sideboard and the
dish then sent to be finished in the
kitchen then came a pulle or casserole
that is chicken cut up and stewed slowly
with vegetables in a fireproof cooking
utensil both men had some of this and
the maids finished the dish
later the final course was a sweet
omelette made at the table the four eggs
that were brought to the table in their
shelves were broken one by one into a
bowl sugar was added from a
sifter then Mr Ur handed the bowl to Mr
boy observing that he Mr Bo was the real
Deb handed omelets Philip boys then beat
the eggs and sugar together cooked the
omelet and filled it with hot Jam which
was brought in by Hannah
Westlock he then divided it into two
portions giving one to Mr KET and taking
the remainder for
himself I have been a little careful to
remind you of all these SC to show that
we have good proof that every dish
served at dinner was partaken of by two
people at least and in most cases
for that omelet the only dish that did
not go out to the kitchen was prepared
by Philip boy himself and shared by his
cousin neither Mr UT Miss Wes
nor the cook Mrs peten felt any ill
effects from this
meal this brings us to
9:00 after dinner coffee is ordered but
boy excuses himself saying he's calling
upon Miss Bain who will probably give
him coffee and here indeed according to
the
accused boys did take coffee without
milk or
sugar was poison placed into one of the
cups before
hand or introduced perhaps when the
deceased's attention was momentarily
distracted the question of course is
pure conjecture but it has to be asked
and considered a
possibility according to the prisoner's
evidence the interview was not a
satisfactory one reproaches were uttered
on both sides and at 10:00 or
thereabouts the deceased expressed his
intention of leaving her she says that
he appeared uneasy and remarked that he
was feeling unwell adding that her
behavior had greatly upset
him at 10 10 and I want you to note
these times very carefully the taxi
driver Burke who was standing at the
rank in Guilford Street was approached
by
boys who told him to take him to woven
Square woven Square cabby quick as you
can when the taxi stopped before Mr K
resident boys required the assistance of
the cabie and Hanna Westlock to get him
into the house where he became
increasingly
ill he was taken upstairs to bed and Mr
uret summoned Dr Granger by
phone the patient was vomiting
persistently and Dr Granger diagnosed
the trouble as acute
gastritis well time is getting on and as
the medical evidence has still to be
pass in
review I shall adjourn the court for
lunch be up
standing he would just at the beastliest
moment when everybody's appetite's
thoroughly taken
away come on Whimsy time for a spot of
refreshment um must go to see MP big
that one up next door for me that's old
fell what do you make of it Duchess most
interesting isn't that Peter's Miss
Clemson on the jury how did she get

good at running his typing Bureau and
charity Affairs and things they're
popping next door with old
whims would you find a GMT timely Dess
most timely Freddy what an ingenious boy

Cheers I say I needed that yeah a crime
reporters lot is not a happy one well

yes hostile it's a bit rum her living

him over when he tries to do a decent
thing ah it's the ladies no accounting
for the ladies Oh by Joe
hello see what's just come
in mower Duchess of Denver isn't she the
mother of Whimsy the noble criminologist
of course that's not him with her then

Chief Inspector Parker's Cas is Sir
naturally he's interested is that all
right oh thank you um keep change an
hour at the most I'd say on the verdict
this judge is summing up
guil time for
another two more J and tonics please
after
you that's
fine well F Dess oh
cheers ready what did you mean when you
said that you thought Peter sorry M my
here you are
Elan thanks
Freddy Brandy andera just the thing
had to have a word with the
defense poor bigs quite rattled by that
Old Judge Jeff who is even now
rehearsing to pronounce the death
sentence Oh how Dreadful that bad and it
mustn't
happen absolutely
not now it is suggested that Philip boys
may have taken arnik himself but
sometime between leaving Harriet veins
flat
and hailing the taxi in Guilford
Street now the prisoner statement is
that Philip boy left her at 10:00 and we
know that at 10 he was in Guilford
Street but Guilford Street is only a
short way from Dy Street perhaps 3
minutes walk and you may ask yourselves
what was boys doing in the intervening
10 minutes did he take a those us a just
Beast he must have taken bad for our
lady oh shut up an unfavorable interview
with the
prisoner or as is also possible did he
feel unwell and sit down somewhere to
recover himself in those missing 10
minutes as missing 10 minutes must what
importance is to be prison purchases of
arnit in December of last year and
January this year and of the deceased
attacks of sickness in November December
and
January the quarrel with the prisoner
took place in October of
1928 boys was finally taken ill on the
evening of February the 20th dying 3
days
later there are four months between the
quarrel and the death and three months
between the first illness and the
death you may find some significance in
those dayses veritable
vulture she's innocent my pessimistic
charm I'm going to prove it I wish you
luck old
chap
well I think that is the case as
presented to
you the case for the crown members of
the jury is that the prisoner Harriet
Bain murdered her former lover Philip
boy with arnik
he undoubtedly did take arnik and if you
are satisfied that he died of it and she
administered it with that
intent then it is your duty to find her
guilty of
[Music]
murder there were belong shouldn't they
pretty damned obvious
yes we miss the 6:30 Edition unless the
jury gets a move
on the old man's careful but he's very
slow they've got to make some show of
considering their verdict give them 20
minutes they want to smoke so do I feny
one let's go excuse me
man it's as open and shut as it can
possibly be it's all perfectly
convincing on water TI but it's all
wrong you can't really believe that but
I do my dear old man where's the flaw in
it there isn't one it's absolutely
nothing wrong with it at all except that
the girl is
innocent yes of course your
Hunch what do you say Duchess I wish I'd
known the girl an interesting
face I've been reading one of her books
well written and I didn't guess who did
it till the end
curious to write about murder and be
accused of murder oneself well they'll
soon know what the Jolly Jury has made
of it I expect Miss Clemson's telling
them all about
it might take some
while I must have gone to sleep it'll
have to be a special
edition what happens of the take all
night then we sit here all night well
the pubs are open I'm going over for a
quick
one a sh
right what can they be up to perhaps
they don't think she did it after all
nonsense of course she did you could
tell by her face hard and she never
cried or anything
[Music]
I say feral crowd connected are they Pro
or Cal the girl um mixed I'd say men Pro
women con I'm amazed it's taking so long
ah looks as if they're ready
[Music]
we have a verdict mad
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
be I'm standing
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
look at their faces they say if it's
going to be guilty they never look at
the prisoner
let the defendant be
upstanding members of the jury who shall
speak as your Foreman I shall Mr Foreman
are you all agreed upon a verdict I'm
sorry to say that we find it impossible
to come to an
[Music]
agreement more time
do you think with a little more time you
may be able to reach an agreement I'm
afraid not my
lord well this is very
unfortunate in that case there's nothing
for it but to thank the jury for their
services and to discharge you and to
order a fresh time be outstanding
[Music]
good shot Whimsy good shot thank you not
bad not
bad well Whimsy I must say you're Miss
Clemson definitely saved the day a lady
of strong convictions are Miss Clemson
certainly given us another chance what's
the form about that by the way pretty
soon I'd say wouldn't you crofs well
they won't want to keep the girl in
custody longer than necessary I spoke to
the list officer this morning he's
putting the retrial in for Wednesday the
17th of July God that's that's only 30
days yeah thing is can we do anything to
improve our case well there must be some
evidence somewhere and I do believe in
the girl's innocence damn it windy so do
I well now let's see what we can do with
that qu you must do something for me I
must see Miss vain can you get me in as
part of your outfit I'd like to hear her
version of the story I think it can be a
r you know the regulations sir I'm sure
you sit at one end and the Prisoner at
the other and you must be careful not to
move from your
seat
table I'll be there to see you through
the glass rules me Lord but I shall be
out to over or nothing if you don't mind
sir I shall have to take
these thank you sir she won't be a tip
[Music]
we're supposed to stay seated you
know Lord Peter
Whimsy come from Mr
Crofts yes I heard the case and all that
and I thought there might be something I
could do to help don't you know was very
good of you not at all I rather enjoy
investigating
things if you see what I mean I know
being a writer of detected stories I've
naturally followed your career with
interest and that's good because you'll
understand I'm not such an ass as I'm
appearing at present you don't appear an
ass though this background doesn't
altogether suit your style nor yours
maybe I'm afraid I'm rather a hopeless
case oh don't say that it can't be h Pur
unless you actually did it and I know
you didn't and I didn't as a matter of
fact you don't happen to know who did
iose I really believe Philip took the
stuff
himself he was finally a defe sort of
person I suppose he took your departure
rather hard I think it was rather he
didn't feel sufficiently
appreciated he was out to think people
were in League to spoil his
chances and uh were they I don't think
so but I do think he offended people he'
demand things as a right and that annoys
people you
know did he get on with his cousin oh
yes though of course Philip said it was
no more than Mr ur's duty to look after
him his idea was that great artists
deserve to be taken care of by the
ordinary
man great
artists forgive me but um
forgive you
what you were very fond of Philip boy I
must have been mustn't I not necessarily
you might have been sorry for him or um
Bewitched by him or simply Badger to
death by him all those
things were you friends
no Philip wasn't the sort of man to make
a friend of a woman he wanted devotion I
certainly gave him
that I couldn't stand being put on ation
like some office boy to see if I was
good enough to be condescended to I
thought he was honest when he said he
didn't believe in marriage and it turned
out to be some sort of test to see
whether my devotion was abject
enough well there you have
it I thought philli had made both
himself and me ridiculous and the moment
I saw that that was it the end I quite
see that such a Victorian
attitude for a man with Advanced ideas
but um you're not opposed to matrimony
on
principle I mean if aord on terms not
already compromised and by the right
person naturally oh no now that's
good might I ask why makes it easier for
me you
see have I got this
right you are proposing marriage to me
absolutely right
do you do this all the time Lord
Peter any when I'm serious and you're
serious
now
oh I know I've got a silly face but I
can't help that and I am serious I
mean I don't positively repel you or
anything like that I SP no you don't
positively repel me oh that's good
any any um minor
alterations I mean uh changing my tailor
no I couldn't in all conscience off of
that but uh part in the main on the
other side growing a toothbrush and
cashier in the eyeglass don't please
don't alter yourself in any particular
do you really mean
that I I I I'm not trying to Blackmail
you into matrimony I mean I would
investigate this case for the fun of the
thing that's very good of you no no no
not at all it's my hobby
I mean investigating things not
proposing to
people well Cherry frightfully
help and um I'll U I'll call again if I
may well I'll give the footman orders to
admit you you'll always find me at
home has a sense of
humor and brains
life wouldn't be dull one would wake up
and there would be a whole day of Jolly
things to do and then one would come
home and go to bed and that would be
jolly
too good
[Music]
afternoon oh God July the 17th 1 month 4
weeks 28
days and I don't know where to begin
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
ladies good afternoon
good
afternooner a Force for good at 60 words
a
minute my dear Lord Peter Miss Clemson
ad bable Miss Clemson I haven't had an
opportunity of thanking you for your
Sterling performance at the
trial I simply couldn't in all
conscience have done other than I did
miss
Clemson why do people kill people I
really don't know it's so dangerous as
well as so terribly Wicked one wonders
how anybody has the affront to undertake
it and very often they gain so little by
it Miss vain is innocent I firmly
believe so the key must be What did boys
do after he left Miss B There were 10
minutes unaccounted for might he not
have entered some Public House for
refreshment and there met an enemy by
Joe that's an idea worth looking into
place public house next motive
do have a butter teacake thank you
insurance was boys insured it doesn't
seem to have occurred to anyone find out
if so who would have an insurable
interest his father cousin and I suppose
Miss vain if the policy was taken out
whilst they were living together
H some possibilities there um
inheritance did boys are willing to
leave his father's a Parson so that has
a thread bear look but I better go and
see him and his publisher oh thank you
very much who was this fellow boys
anyway I don't anything about him he
might have been a blackard of the
deepest die knew unmentionable things
about his friends probably writing a
book to show somebody up has been
suppressed at all costs Dash it his
cousins cista perhaps thank you he's
been embezzling trusted or something and
boys was going to split on him put some
arsenic in his soup ah then he drinks it
himself now I'm afraid Hannah West's
evidence rather knocks that on the head
we shall have to fall back on the
mysterious stranger of the pub yes the
missing 10 minutes or suicide which I'm
rather inclined to believe in only what
happened to The Empty Bottle or paper if
he took it in powdered form where would
they look for it yes if it wasn't on him
it could be anywhere around outy street
it's going to be pretty difficult trying
to find a bottle or a piece of paper
that was chucked away 6 months
ago would you say something about that
teacakes Miss
Clemson all right boys
query
arsenic anything else yes find out if
boys visited any Pub in the neighborhood
of D Street between say 9:50 and 10 10
on the evening of February the 20th
whether he met anyone and what he took
to drink
query Pub yes thirdly whether any paper
or bottle that might have contained
arenic was picked up in the
district oh is that all perhaps you'd
like me to trace the bus ticket dropped
by Miss Brown outside selfridges during
the last Christmas rush my dear Parker I
would not dream of patronizing an
officer of your caliber by setting him
such a simple problem and now you must
excuse me I have to don't see a man
about a dog or rather a clergyman about
his
son you don't know of anybody who might
have had an interest in his death did he
for example make a will yes he did not
that he had much to leave poor
boy his books were very cleverly written
he had a fine intellect but they did not
bring any good sums of money he left his
copyrights to someone I spose yes oh
yes he wished to leave them to
me but his opinion you
see not
compatible now he left to his good
friend Mr vaugh Mr vaugh yes might I ask
when this uh will was made H dated at
the time of his visit to Wales before
that I believe he made one leaving
everything to miss vain uh to Miss V I
thought she'd know about that not in any
case an importantance son oh no no if my
son made ยฃ50 a year from his books that
would be the
utmost but they tell me that uh after
this his new book will do better yes the
public will always respond to his
sensation I'm afraid yeah would you
care you care to risk one of these oh
very G thank you I say um he he had no
private money to leave I I didn't
suppose oh
no nothing whatever there was never any
money in our family proverbial Church
mice except that is for Kona Garden for
I beg paron my wife's Aunt the the
notorious Kona Garden of the 60s oh good
lord yes the actress yes she uh was
never mentioned of course one did not
inquire into the way she got her money
no different to anybody else I expect
but uh in those days one was easily
shocked we haven't seen her for over 50
years I believe she's getting very
childlike now I had no idea she was
still alive oh she must be over 90
certainly Phillip never had any money
from
her oh my dear chap a glass of madira
what must you think of me been buzzing
like a be seeing the Reverend boy your
publisher boys's publisher and uh I've
come up with a plot for a detective
story a good plot a very good plot you
tell well you see it's about this girl
and uh who writes
books detective stories actually and um
she has a friend who who also writes
books I bet she's a sweetie at home um
neither of are bestsellers you see just
just novelists that's the kind of thing
that might
happen and um the friend makes a will
leaving all his money receipts from his
books and so forth to the girl I see now
the girl who was kind rather fed up with
him don't you know comes up with a grand
scoop to turn them both into best
sellers yes she polishes him off by by
the Ved method she's used in her latest
crime Thriller a daring stroke and of
course his books immediately become bare
Sellers and she grabs the pool most
ingenious so the entirely new motive for
murder is a thing I've been looking for
for years but don't you think it'd be a
little dangerous she might be accused of
the murder oh well then her books will
become bare sellers too true but
possibly she wouldn't live to enjoy the
prophets Because unless you were
suspected and arrested and tried the
scoop would any have have come oh yes
but then you as an experienced mystery
Monger you could come up with something
to get round
that if she were very Wicked she could
push the blame onto someone else or lead
people to suppose that her friend had
done away with himself to beg I think
how would she do that I can't
say I'll give it careful thought and let
you
know here's an
idea she's a person with monomania
there somebody she wishes to benefit
who's badly in need of money father
mother sister
lover she makes out a will in his or her
favor allows herself to be condemned for
the crime knowing that the Beloved
object will then inherit how's that very
very good but there's a
snag they wouldn't give her friends
money would they they're not allowed to
profit by crime oh
hang I know
she could make over a deed of gift yes
look if she did that immediately after
the murder a deed of gift of everything
she possess that would include
everything she came into under the
friend's will it would then all go to
the Beloved object and I don't believe
the law could stop it you're too clever
by half should we write it
let's and you know I'm sure we won't get
the chance you're not to say that you're
to keep
smiling it suits you
she's as innocent as the day is long
she'd never have come up with such a
motive if she' already done it it' be
put in a noose around her own
