very friendly what do you want who are you Royal Horse artillery Splendid body of men officer fine body of men we've just had our regimental dinner and some of my friends came back to my flat to celebrate the the occasion what are you doing here I'm looking for a constable and you'll do nicely what do you want with me oh nothing very much just the loan of your helmet for half an hour what yes you see some of my friends have just got the idea they want to drink out of a loving cup and your helmet I'd make a wonderful loving cup you're drunk sir oh granted granted but you haven't told me yet whether I can have your helmet I advise you to go on home sir if you don't I'll have to take you in charge here none of that oh oh I'm awfully sorry old cop I'm awfully SED this scarf was found in the hands of the dead conable it's the only definite bit of evidence we've had yes but having a scarf doesn't mean we have Mr X in custody yet oh hello Jane Hello darling thought I might give you a lift home no I should be here quite a bit longer dear how is the play Oh not at all be the girl was really very attractive nice boys too has Chris been here no isn't this the night they're giving him their dinner yes that's I thought how'd you get his scarf you should return things you borrow father yeah well don't wait for me there you run along I I'll be home later all right [Applause] [Music] [Music] who is it who's there me and what do you mean waking me up at this time of the night great news for you great news they've got it set right about an hour ago well well sit down gentlemen and let's drink to Scotland Yard just this once I wouldn't make a habit of it well it looks as if I'm going to get to Kyro long before I expected how did they happen to get him show Nick the pap who do you think the founder was fancy a wealthy Sportsman and all that and engaged to the chief commissioner's daughter Sir Christopher Marsh Sir Christopher Marsh that's impossible impossible what do you mean they got him with the goods Nick that's right they found his scarf in the dead Copper's end of course he said he only knocked him down and took his helmet but no one no no no Marsh isn't X he couldn't be he was in France winning the Grand Prix when those first four murders were committed is that's right he was there that flaws me Scotland Yard will explain that in the later paper and even if he did kill this policeman which I'm sure he did not X is still at large then we can't get rid of the stone oh yes we can Chuck it in the river and pull the chain that's right every copper in London will be on the tail of that diamond tomorrow they could get him quickly enough they only know how to go about it how and I suppose you could show them how to do it yes I could how in the event that another Constable was killed Scotland Yard would issue a bulletin stating that the man had not been killed but only seriously wounded do you follow me yes g a few hours later a second bulletin the man had recovered Consciousness and described his as salent oh next day a third bulletin the man's condition had improved he had been removed to his home I get it you think X would Tred to get to the Copper to finish the job correct he's a maniac he couldn't resist it and as long as he thought that policeman was alive he would know that there was some chance of his being identified then all the police have to do is to wait until it showed up exactly that's clever Nick why don't you write a commissioner French him and suggest it oh he must get thousands of letters every day on the subject mine would just be another letter wonder how I could meet him oh could him wanted to meet the commissioner of police you shouldn't have no trouble he serves tiary afternoon at 5: to all the cracksmen in London Sir Christopher Marsh is coming up for a hearing at the magistrates court in the morning right right Marsh is engaged to French's daughter so frencham will undoubtedly be there right right in the event that someone appeared and came to the rescue of French's future son-in-law it would put the commissioner under obligation to him wouldn't it yes what are you driving at you and I are going to appear at that court in the morning and squash that murder charge against Marsh what do you mean ow I want you to listen carefully what I have to tell you you go to a police court tomorrow and identify yourself ordering court and is that all Mr Rebel yes sir that's all I finished with the witness I put it you Mr Rebel don't you think it's strange that this taxi driver has not come forward to substantiate your testimony well nothing that a taxi driver does seems very strange to me but he must read the newspapers he must may I interrupt the proceedings for one moment your worship the taxi driver in question reported to Scotland Yard half an hour ago he's here now I should like to be allowed to call him if the crown is finished with this witness I finish worship bring him in You Must Stand Down silence in court step into the witness box please it's not take the book in your right hand or your right hand you swear by almighty God the evidence you will give this court with the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth audio just the book your full name is Joseph oio P you drive a taxi cab pmer I do serve me out yl 7921 you were driving that cab the night before last quite correct sir tell the court in your own words what happened to you between the hours of 2:15 and 2:30 on that night well around about 2:30 my Lord sir I'll pick up a fair in Chester Street he wants to go to nightsbridge I'm driving slowly down marale street but out of the corner me I like I see a tough in a ha at talking to a a copper bigger Pard a policeman all of a sudden the tough makes a grab for the policeman's helmet and grabs it off his head the policeman makes a grab for the tough the tough gets him a bonser right under the jaw down goes the Bobby and off goes the tough of the helmet ordering C what happened then pmer uh meair Taps on the window he'd seen it too so I pull into the curve and we both gets out and goes over to the cop who was getting up busy he says he's all right and doesn't want no help from us I see what did you and your fair do then he gets back into the cab and I drives him home to what address can you recall uh yes sir boxton Mansion sir I finished with the witness your worship thanks one moment now Palmer I want you to think very carefully before you answer when this person struck the Constable what did he do with the walking stick he was carrying he didn't have no walking stick you're sure I'm positive he couldn't have had a walking stick cuz he got the helmet in this hand and with the other hand he'd slush the cop and that's all your worship thank stay where you are now would you recognize your passenger of the night in question I think so sir but look around the court and see if he's here I think that's him over there sir that's the Gent sir would you mind ask him to say a few words I'm sure I recognize his voice would you mind saying a few words please sir drive to boxton Mansions seem sir that's him how are you you must stand down thanks your worship you will have noted that the statement of the witness Palmer substantiates in every particular the testimony of the previous Witness Mr Rebel further your worship their testimony Tes at every point with the story told throughout by the accused your worship I submit that there is not sufficient evidence against Sir Christopher march to Warrant his being held for trial the court finds that there is no case against the prisoner on the charge of murder but a charge lies against him for assaulting an officer while in the discharge of his duty now this is a summary charge and I propose to deal with it now you plead guilty or not guilty to the charge I plead guilty your worship Christopher M the fact that yet another of these appalling crimes against the London Police may be attributed indirectly to your vicious self-indulgence leaves no alternative but impose upon you the maximum punishment for your offense I sentence you to 10 days in prison and find you 100 C A John for 10 minutes thank you Mr G I [Music] want Mr Rebel sir Herbert frencham wishes me to Tender you his most profound thanks he had to rush away or he would have thanked you personally well that's too bad I rather hope to meet sir herban Cher sorry old girl isn't that his daughter there yes they were sitting on the bench she's engaged to Sir Christopher you know yes yes I know uh don't you suppose that she might like to thank me I'm sure she would miss frencham miss frencham this is Mr Rebel you know you've been perfectly Splendid yes I have haven't I I uh oh goodbye thank you very much goodbye uh don't you feel that you ought to have lunch with me I do indeed but unfortunately I'm booked up oh but that can be adjusted no but it can't all you have to do is to telephone your friends and tell them that a truly Noble fellow has saved your hero from a cruel fate well what and you feel obligated to the extent of sharing a fugal lunch with him really you're making it frightfully awkward yes that's my purpose but I can't see why you should want to go out of your way to take me out to lunch when did you think of it when I was standing in the dark I mean the witness box I saw you then quite Charming oh yes I uh felt that I could Purge myself to La was blue if necessary but of course that wasn't necessary should we walk out this way excuse me sir do you mind if I present your bill now why another man takes my place at 4:00 20 to 4 we've been here almost 3 hours thank you sir I must get home right as soon as I get my change 3 hours and what have we talked about nothing oh that's unkind we've reached some very important and definite conclusions first that the Bronson are going to be perfectly Furious until tomorrow when they receive your flowers and your very insincere little note of apology and second that the willow tree in is a very Charming place to be taken when you're kidnapped and thirdly that men who kidnap women to put it mildly and PR ah you might have stopped me I did my best oh that's not quite true you were angry but at the same time you were just a little bit pleased don't I I was only curious why did you do it must there always be a motive for everything one does you impressed me definitely as a man who doesn't act without one for instance when you gave evidence today you were calm concise and most convincing but I couldn't help feeling that what the night before last you were nowhere near merille Street My Dear Miss frencham do you realize that if I hadn't given that evidence Sir Christopher Marsh would now be on trial for murder which was hard of meant to say that and awfully stupid I am grateful that's really why that's why you allowed yourself to be kidnapped it's a very Charming sense of obligation I wasn't obliged to sit here unless I was enjoying myself thank you I'll remember that that's the first nice thing you've said to me since we've met your change sir thank you sir that was rather a close call for that fellow Marsh made me wonder wonder what well whether the police were going at getting this Mr X in quite the right way about this Mr X if you'll excuse me sir I've got a sort of idea who hasn't quite so sir thank you sir good afternoon sir you see I have an idea if you knew how the yard's been deluged with idiotic suggestions since this thing started I keep my idea to myself Scotland Yard has some reputation you know and my father's never found it necessary to consult the amateur mind yes yes I see what you mean you ever do any betting or an occasional Panda s well I'll tell you what I'll do I'll bet you a dozen pair of gloves against a good blood orange make it an even money better I won't listen all right a dozen pair of gloves against a dinner no motive in making it a dinner I suppose a very excellent motive and what are we betting about that I can make at least Le one suggestion to your father about Mr X to which he will give very careful consideration pretty sure of yourself aren't you mhm how will we settle it well I'll write the suggestion on a slip of paper put it in an envelope seal it and you can deliver it personally to your father with my compliments done done shall I drive yes please [Applause] you must realize to Herbert that sometimes amate rush in where professionals Fear To Tread yes I haven't forgotten it was an amateur who suggested the use of tanks in the war not a professional I'm so concerned I'd consult even with a newspaper editor if you proposed a solution what do you think of Mr Rebel's plan oh plausible it has Merit there are objections of course father you must let this thing worry you so remember what the doctor said sorry dear I didn't realize I was doing it big pardon sir Herber yes superintendent Connor is here just one moment yes sir superintendent Connor was sufficiently interested to want to have a chat with you oh indeed very encouraging oh please don't get up take your time come up to the drawing room when you're ready thank you excuse me dear well well you win when do We Dine together we have already what oh oh oh I see you mean this I uh I was hoping it might be a dinner for two there was nothing in the wager about that the next time I'll make the terms more specific do I want some gloves what do you think of the amateur mind now hadn't we better wait until we hear what Mr Connor has to say yes perhaps we'd better no i' better not sit down her sit down you need rest no it's not my legs at are tired it's my mind good evening Mr K good evening Miss French this is superintendent Conor Mr Rebel oh good evening sir how are you Mr Rebel this is an unexpected pleasure sorry my dear I have a notion I'm in the way frankly you are what do you think of him most unusual type good mind I knew you'd like him I'll see you before you go Mr reel I hope so yes I remember seeing you at the March hearing Mr reel oh yes you're getting to be quite a figure in this case well it's very interesting to be behind the scenes as it were I told Mr reel I discussed his suggestion with you Conor yes quite an ingenious idea I'm flattered shows quite a knowledge of the Criminal Mind well of the maniac mind let us say uh I read a good bit on Insanity it's very interesting yes yes we're all agreed that X must be a Madman now what do you think of his idea well my chief objection to Mr Rebel's plan is is predicated on the cooperation of the press does the Press have to know everything you've never found it profitable nor possible to deceive the Press Mr reel emergencies call for emergency measures sir Herbert without any definite clue no you're mistaken Mr Rebel we have a very definite clue oh what the Drayton Diamond didn't you think you had that same sort of a clue in Sir Christopher Marsha's scoff true enough yes but the thief may not be so fortunate at this time is to have you to give evidence in his behalf no Mr Rebel when we catch the man that has the Dron diamond we catch Mr X I can't agree with you I don't believe that a man who was clever enough to steal a diamond would be stupid enough to commit murder well perhaps the Constable surprised him at his job do you think that all the other murdered constables surprised him at his job too very unlikely I oh no my theory is that the drton diamond was being stolen at the same time Mr X was killing the constable an amazing coincidence it's no more coincidental than my seeing Sir Christopher Marsh make off with a Bobby's Hamlet no no not a bit greater I'll admit Mr Rebel well then you given me a new thought Mr rebel I should like some time to think over what you said naturally in the meantime I'll be going back to the odd I don't like to remain away too long yes yes of course good night Mr Rebel goodbye sir been a most interesting chat I hope I see you again yes yes I dare say you will Switzerland Italy France Austria China Switzerland again then Spain quite a traveler anything from the banks his only account under the name of Rebel is in the Dominion limited and that is very low at the present time have you said anything to the commissioner no no if I were to tell him of my suspicions he couldn't help but act differently taught him that might put our man in his guard that is if he is our man of course he is Willis of course he is on the strength of an alibi forer Christopher he met Miss French and through her he gets into the commissioner's good graces but why because the last place in the world to look for a criminal is in the home of the police commissioner that's true three nights ago he spent considerable time trying to convince us we're all wrong in connecting the drton diam with Mr X he seem very very anxious to get us off that trail then you think I'm going to investigate if we can prove a previous connection between Revel and this taxi cab driver Palmer we'll know that testimony that Sir Christopher case was false and I'll believe that Rebel has the Dron diamond in his possession I have built many a case on much less than that in my time then we'll watch Palmer we can catch up with him sometime between now and tomorrow in the meantime I have something else to do tonight what Revel has been invited to Sir heit to attend a dinner for Sir Christopher March March was released yesterday while Mr Revel is dining there I mean to have a search through his flat in boxton mansions you're early well social problem should a being a gentleman depart and return later no a stays and B if she's a real lady puts a entirely at it ease ah but it's be a lady oh she's doing her best I was afraid of that afraid yes you see the times when a is sorely tempted not to be a gentleman in what way by going out and getting drunk oh I know I'm behaving very ungraciously about your young man returning I suppose I should thank heaven for small favors and make a graceful exit oh nonsense why do you think I asked you to meet Chris tonight of all nights we sort of round things out nicely it's an old British custom isn't it let me see how it go oh yes yes he'll say uh hello reel I'm glad to know you you did me a darn good turn and I'll say not at all I'm glad I happen to be passing at the moment and that'll be your cue for saying uh Chris and I would love to have you visit us but after the honeymoon now you really are being silly Miss French is in the drawing room sir oh thank you hello Jane hello welcome home oh my dear I had a perfectly horrible time nothing to smoke and the bathing conditions were abominable well I wouldn't complain Chris you're alive at any rate look who we've got to meet you oh I say how perfectly splended man introduce oh does one introduce a gentleman to a criminal oh my dear I really think that's a little out of place don't you I do indeed you know I can't thank you enough uh not at all not at all I'm only glad that I happen to be passing at the moment have you nothing to say Miss franchin what should I say no invitation oh how stupid AR me I haven't asked you to have a drink oh uh Jane I could use one very nicely big pardon Miss Jane sir hbert is just telephone he detained at the yard and he asked you not to wait for him come on Nick is there a possibility of Martial law being declared that you be incredible in peace time seven murders in 3 weeks would you say Sir her that approximated war but nobody feels safe we're being flooded with letters of protest gent all I can say is the Scotland Yard is doing everything in its power to apprehend this this fiend surely we have a greater interest in the arrest of this Maniac than the Press but mad are notoriously cunning such outbursts as this are sporadic and and the most difficult of all police problems the matter her butt get some water quick strategic illness don't you think very I'm all right I'm right I'm all right thank here's the water I should be all right in a minute nothing to worry about thank God thank you music and Moonlight and you in my arms m [Music] this is the night my dear no no no no no that was definitely bad judgment on my part now let's do that again of course you know rebel I don't pretend to know anything about music but don't you sing that song very badly appallingly but it's a nice song isn't it quite possibly now don't let yourself be put off by Chris I think it's beautiful Nick picked it up in his travels Belgrade wasn't it no Budapest uh perhaps it doesn't sound the least bit like it but it's supposed to be a gypsy love song oh oh do you sing it often well uh only as the ultimate test I find that anyone who can endure my singing of it forgives all my other faults and eventually becomes my proven friend off we go again Excuse Me Miss Jane Scotland Yard is on the telephone probably father oh excuse me of course amazingly attractive girl isn't she I think so intelligent too Likes music oh I admire her tremendously don't you well naturally I engaged to us oh yes yes yes of course congratulations oh thanks very much not at all do you spend much time in town reel no I wander about a bit I don't like London in the winter time a Restless St there mhm I have a small matter of business to attend to and then I'll be popping off to Egypt for the polo no no no for the pyramids oh oh an artist oh in a small way uh more or less a a uh collector oh yeah no bad news I hope they're bringing father home he's ill oh nothing serious well Dr Scott was very assuring he only needs quiet for a day or so good Scott's a first R man I think I better be running along I feel rather an intruder here of course you're not good night and I'm glad to met you at last good night hope to see you again soon I hope so drop in at my flat anytime and have a drink box and mansions I will thank you good night and thank you very much good night I'll ring you tomorrow if I can't have lunch with you well I thought possibly the circumstance No Sa rounds a qu to one unless I telephone I should be there but don't bother to see me out good night good night good night Jane why did you do that do what you say you'd have lunch with him tomorrow why not I accepted yesterday oh oh sen you you didn't do it just to punish me oh Chris that's rather childish [Music] Jane well do you mind if I say that I don't like rebel I gathered that much but why well I don't know perhaps I see things out of proportion but he seems to me at second rate really what I mean is who is he what does he do I know he takes you out to lunch and sings off key but who are his people you might look him up in books p I know you think I'm being absurd frankly yes but perhaps the simplest thing would be for me to call him up and put the lunch off tomorrow oh no no no darling you mustn't do that I'm a clumsy stupid jealous fool I know but for the first time in my life I realize what a pointless existence I've been leading I want to Chuck all that and settle down and you can help me how well couldn't we be married at once this week no I can't do that why not well for one thing I can't leave father while he's ill and so terribly worried I see any other reason I don't want to be hurried is it because of rebel I don't know [Music] all quiet Wesley everything quiet see in half an hour hope so cheerio why what's wrong here [Applause] [Applause] well why didn't you get here sooner you only telephone 10 minutes ago it's too late now to try out plan he just went in notless sir Herbert early that's interesting why another officer was killed by X less than 20 minutes ago yes on high cross street and that's between the commissioner's house and here then we're on the right track if we only had that diamond that would clinch it I have searched every inch of his flat there's no trace of it must have it on him too bad we couldn't have got here sooner he's just about had time to get in his flat I'm sure he's got that diamond on him my only hope is to get him down here in the street before he has a chance to plant it I'm going up there without a warrant this will be a friendly visit you know your orders yes sir stand by right [Applause] 1066 hello Joe this is Nick don't ask any questions how soon can you come over here 10 minutes good make it quicker if

flat of a suspect we got to get her out of there but how sir I wonder where March is wait [Applause] get me on to the senior Cosmopolitan Club that's March's Club I may get him in you want to tell Sir Christopher uh senior Cosmopolitan Club is Sir Christopher March in oh he is deliver a message for me Mr Nicholas Revel wants him to come immediately to his apartments in boxon mansions it's quite important thank you very good idea sir the table is set my lady half a second I wish we'd met when you were much younger no really oh I don't infer that the passing years have withered the bloom of your youth far from it I I beg your pardon but you're standing in my butter oh look at my shoes your shoes can be restored but my water is irrevocably ruined you take this in very well I will but first I want you to understand I don't want to you see there you are always thinking of foood I don't mean anything to you can't I tell you what you mean to me in the Next Room no you can't it wouldn't be the same the warm Sunset of the dying stove the faint Aroma of burnt toast like nothing on God's Earth and a certain greasiness about your face which I find very enchanting this moment will never occur again don't you wish that we'd met before yes I do do you realize the significance of that no I don't I only know that I got a greasy face and somehow I don't see the mind with you that's really very [Applause] nice for a moment I thought that was my bell ringing for a moment you were right I'm s will you think of me while I'm gone oh I will thank you [Applause] well well well this is a pleasant surprise sorry if I'm late I only just got your message really yes is there anything the matter no why well your message said to come immediately my message yes the one you

can join us if you don't eat too much no thank you a whiskey and soda no thank you well what brought you here anyway I received a message at my club that Mr Revel wanted to see me did you there must be some mistake so it would appear well Mr reel scarcely the sort of person to feel himself in need of a chaperon I think the less said about a chaperon the better oh really now I now what precisely do you mean by that just what I say when a man's engaged to a girl he doesn't expect to find her alone with another man in his flat oh indeed and why not because it isn't done particularly when the gentleman in question happens to be less than a casual acquaintance a very useful one on a certain occasion I frankly admit it that is why I find it rather painful to suggest that Mr Revel has presumed upon my obligation to inflict himself on you be careful please please please don't let's get excited the whole trouble seems to arise out of this telephone call I don't doubt what Christopher did receive some such message I don't need any support from you I beg your pardon Mr Rebel's going out of his way to help you and I'm duly grateful sir and I wish you good afternoon don't you want me to come with you Christopher frankly no now I think it would be much wiser for both of us if we regarded our engagement as at an end yes sir Christopher that's I have nothing to add aren't you going to drink your tea I don't think I [Applause] can I'm terribly sorry this thing has upset you and it's all my fault of course it's not you can ring him up in the morning not me well he's quite right I suppose I ought to be brokenhearted I don't know that I am there's one thing I think you ought to consider what's that suppose he did receive that telephone message I'm not so sure that he didn't what's it matter anyway but it isn't fair if he did receive it it isn't fair you know why I like you no why because you're so straight I think you're the straightest man I've ever met will you take me out for dinner tonight sir yes chane I'd love to farewell meet me at 8 Jane Jane I'm a fraud no you're [Applause] not com in hello Joseph hello Nick what are you doing here Joseph I was just about to
