There was the matter surely are not nervous perhaps it will help calm you if I tell you

00:29.360 --> 00:34.480
a story I heard just the other day about a fortune that can be yours for the taking.

00:35.560 --> 00:43.280
All you have to do is go and get it I call the story the house where death lived.

00:48.720 --> 00:53.640
Before you and I walk into the terrifying darkness of Dr weird world I think it's only

00:53.640 --> 00:58.480
fair on behalf of our sponsor to warn you that you'd better hurry if you want to see the

00:58.480 --> 01:03.960
latest fall line in up to the minute Adam Hatt believe me gentlemen there is no better

01:03.960 --> 01:10.480
had value anywhere in America than an atom worn by the famous favorite of millions there

01:10.480 --> 01:15.720
are thousands of Adam Hatt shops and authorized dealers from coast to coast stop in your

01:15.720 --> 01:20.720
nearest Adam Hatt shop tomorrow now Dr weird.

01:20.720 --> 01:31.040
My story the house where death lived in with two men crouching in the bushes staring at

01:31.040 --> 01:34.040
a great lonely old mansion on top of a wind swept here.

01:36.960 --> 01:42.800
And there it is spooky old joining here I like this job and that's couldn't ask for anything

01:42.800 --> 01:47.480
easier but somehow that place gives me a creep what do you mean you're a detective remember

01:47.480 --> 01:52.360
a private dick here to protect the old boy all right well OK let's get on inside and

01:52.360 --> 01:56.560
tell you all guy the detectives Murphy and Smith are here now wait a minute in town they

01:56.560 --> 02:01.360
said old man Crawford has a handyman who stays with him until after dark and then goes home

02:01.360 --> 02:05.800
we're going to wait I'd rather see the old man alone you get me.

02:11.920 --> 02:17.280
And so the two men waited in the gathering darkness outside until Frank the handyman

02:17.280 --> 02:22.040
left for the night two moments later they banged the old bronze knocker on the front

02:22.040 --> 02:22.640
door of the.

02:26.880 --> 02:29.080
They must be allowed to speak or a court.

02:33.400 --> 02:34.440
Yeah yeah we are.

02:34.440 --> 02:37.800
Are coming great you'll find me upstairs in my bedroom.

02:44.360 --> 02:51.600
A minute later or Joshua Crawford sitting up in bed to visit us so you're my

02:51.600 --> 02:56.240
detectives but if you're at Murphy and which of your Smith I'm Sam Murphy and this is my

02:56.240 --> 03:02.120
partner Bill Smith I'm glad you're here very glad I have work for you to do in a vault

03:02.120 --> 03:06.320
in the cellar at your worth a quarter of a million dollars and those jewels must be

03:06.320 --> 03:11.200
carefully guarded because they're bait for a trap I'm setting a trap to catch seven

03:11.200 --> 03:16.160
murderers trapped to catch seven murders ten years ago I was a wealthy man I had a

03:16.160 --> 03:20.760
home in Long Island and I had a daughter whom I love I had a son-in-law who's like

03:20.760 --> 03:25.360
a son to me then one night when I was away on business a gang of thieves seven of them

03:25.360 --> 03:30.200
invaded my house they were after the jewels I kept in a vault there a vault to which

03:30.200 --> 03:37.160
only I knew the combination you know me to shut up. Go on Mr Crawford those seven men

03:37.160 --> 03:42.160
would not believe I was the only one who could open that vault in the end they killed

03:42.160 --> 03:49.720
my daughter and her husband I see so you are that Crawford yes I spent my entire

03:49.720 --> 03:56.440
fortune trying to trace the criminals in the end I succeeded you did yes I learned

03:56.440 --> 04:01.400
their names they were called Big Jim Donovan and Trigger Thompson Nicky Lavender Tony

04:01.400 --> 04:06.240
Morton Freddie Lake Johnny Frisco and Lefty Williams a tough bunch of monkeys how do you

04:06.240 --> 04:12.280
know that I know I spent a million dollars to find out and all my money was gone over

04:12.280 --> 04:18.680
the jewels for which my children were murdered those I kept they came here with them to bait

04:18.680 --> 04:24.160
a trap for murder you mean that mission I know where five of those seven men are all

04:24.160 --> 04:30.800
except Johnny Frisco and Lefty Williams now I say I know those men are guilty even though

04:30.800 --> 04:35.680
I couldn't prove it in court would you agree that they should be punished absolutely Mr

04:35.680 --> 04:42.640
Crawford and if I can learn them here would you help me execute them yes help me to punish

04:42.640 --> 04:50.080
these men I've named and the jewels in the vault are yours. What do you say where your

04:50.080 --> 04:56.520
men those rats deserve executing and Mr Crawford if you can get them inside this house we'll

04:56.520 --> 05:06.760
be the executioner. In just a moment we'll return to our story and learn what happens

05:06.760 --> 05:12.520

09:49.480 --> 09:56.080

For you and I wish to confess and I don't like what you mean to do but you are

10:31.600 --> 10:35.840
joining first going lefty with the last two of the seven murderers I've been

10:35.840 --> 10:42.120

10:42.120 --> 10:48.800
a cook to keep and Endism became private. Confession can.

10:50.400 --> 10:57.640
Come. But you think of a look. At the又 promotes an electric chair.

10:59.440 --> 11:01.800

11:17.360 --> 11:39.280
A. I. Hope you. Know. Unfortunately

11:39.280 --> 11:43.880
for all Mr Crawford was unable to release his two victims from the track he took

11:43.880 --> 11:50.840
for them in the morning we found tied up and laughing unable to speak a single

11:50.840 --> 11:58.320
intelligent word he's in an asylum now still out the first go and let me and

11:58.320 --> 12:05.320
there still down in that secret room near pocket stop with you but by now of

12:05.320 --> 12:12.680
course they're probably quite dead so if you want to do it you only have to go

12:12.680 --> 12:21.640
there and open the wrong thing you have to go now. Too bad. But perhaps you can

12:21.640 --> 12:29.600

12:29.600 --> 12:33.640
