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

there I wonder best not to inquire I

imagine Peter says she's wonderfully

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

you are Cheers

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

bunot a city gent two G&S and BNS these

are large ones well Duchess guilty or

I honestly don't know it's old whimsy's

interest well it's one of his friend

Chief Inspector Parker's Cas is Sir

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

[Music]
