00:01:38 #1 happened backstage were you able to see the canary no luck child she's about as
00:01:44 #2 hard to get out in a dressing room as she is in that swing if you want an idea of
00:02:07 #3 what I ran into back there let me point out a few of her my bed yeah and he was
00:02:45 #4 outside her dressing room just now along with these other two I understand that
00:02:50 #5 the canary has a clause in all three of them are they rich naturally then what
00:02:56 #6 Does she want with my son?
00:02:57 #7 The allowance I give Jimmy is highly tempting.
00:03:00 #8 No, my dear Charles.
00:03:02 #9 Our little feathered friend in the swinger has social ambition.
00:03:06 #10 She wants to be Mrs. Jimmy's hotspot.
00:03:08 #11 Hotspot.
00:03:09 #12 I'd do anything in my power to prevent that,
00:03:11 #13 even if Jimmy's still a cat for her.
00:03:14 #14 And I still believe that she'll listen to dollars and cents.
00:03:18 #15 I wouldn't be too sure about Charles.
00:03:21 #16 As you know, I have more or less made a hobby of crime
00:03:23 #17 and criminals.
00:03:25 #18 That girl is no ordinary black nimmer.
00:03:28 #19 I'm firmly convinced that she'll start at nothing to manage me.
00:03:30 #20 But you won't have her.
00:03:32 #21 I tell you he has really come to his senses.
00:03:36 #22 Another girl? Yes.
00:03:38 #23 Well, you know her. Alice.
00:03:41 #24 Oh, yes, of course.
00:03:43 #25 A very nice girl too.
00:03:45 #26 Yes, she is.
00:03:47 #27 Lance, I'm afraid that I'll have to use my own judgment in this matter.
00:03:51 #28 I'm going to see this canary at her apartment as soon as possible.
00:03:56 #29 Very well, Charles. But, uh, act quickly.
00:04:03 #30 Oh, I know you'll smile, but you know I have a strange premonition that the canary is headed for disaster.
00:04:11 #31 Evening, Mr. Spotswood.
00:04:32 #32 Hello there.
00:04:33 #33 Shall I announce you to miss Odell?
00:04:35 #34 No, don't bother. That's perfectly all right.
00:04:38 #35 Very well.
00:04:39 #36 a. Jimmy you are going to see the canary again. No I wasn't here in fact I just
00:04:56 #37 started to put this note on her daughter tell us all. Oh Jimmy I'm afraid of her
00:05:03 #38 I was she's clever and cruel and unscrupulous she'll hurt us again I know she will.
00:05:11 #39 No dear she can't hurt us now boy will you announce my name and never yes.
00:05:24 #40 Hello, Jimmy.
00:05:25 #41 Well, hello, Dad.
00:05:26 #42 Good evening, Alice.
00:05:27 #43 Good evening, Mrs. Bosswood.
00:05:28 #44 You know, I'm delighted that you and Jimmy have made it up again.
00:05:32 #45 Thank you.
00:05:33 #46 You know, I'm going to try to show you that all showgirls aren't like, well...
00:05:38 #47 Like the Canary, eh?
00:05:40 #48 Yes.
00:05:41 #49 Yes, I want to talk to her.
00:05:44 #50 You suppose she's home yet?
00:05:47 #51 I suppose so.
00:05:49 #52 No, Dad, you're a regular guard who's helping me on this thing.
00:05:55 #53 You know, if the canary ever came between Alice and me again,
00:05:59 #54 I don't know what I'd do.
00:06:03 #55 It's all right, Jimmy.
00:06:08 #56 I'll do everything I can.
00:06:11 #57 Shall I go along with you?
00:06:12 #58 No.
00:06:13 #59 I can handle this better alone.

00:07:24 #66 Will you sit down?
00:07:30 #67 Thank you.
00:07:31 #68 Well, I don't think we need waste any time, Miss O'Dell.
00:07:35 #69 You know why I'm here. How much?
00:07:39 #70 Nothing doing, Mr. Spotswood. I've decided to marry Jimmy.
00:07:43 #71 I'm afraid that marriage is quite out of the question, Miss O'Dell.
00:07:49 #72 Oh, you're sure about that, are you?
00:07:52 #73 I'm positive.
00:07:53 #74 Well, how would you like me to tell the world about Jimmy's embezzling from your bank?
00:07:56 #75 What?
00:07:57 #76 You heard me. You know, Jimmy has a weakness for writing letters, and I have a weakness for using them.
00:08:03 #77 using it if Jimmy did right you and that are you tired up now before I leave here
00:08:08 #78 sure go ahead tear it up yourself my memory still perfect yes yes I see
00:08:22 #79 very well you win now what do you really want I've told you what I want I want to
00:08:31 #80 be Mrs. James but and that's that I haven't you any heart won't you give him up
00:08:36 #81 Miss Odell for the sake of his happiness for the sake of the girl whom he really
00:08:40 #82 love. Give him up. Now what do you want me to do burst out crying. Listen Mr.
00:08:47 #83 spots what I know all about Jimmy and Alice and if he marries her I'll tell
00:08:50 #84 every newspaper in this country that he's a dirty thief. Oh no you wouldn't dare do
00:08:57 #85 that that's blackmail. Sure it is call it anything you like but get this into
00:09:02 #86 your head that that's what I'm going to do. Well that remains to be seen. Good
00:09:08 #87 night. Mr. Cleaver please. This is Mr. Cleaver speaking. Not the Mr. Cleaver the great reformer.
00:09:49 #88 Well this is your favorite weakness. Don't get nervous baby. I've got some news for you.
00:09:56 #89 Yes darling I'm going to marry young spotswood. Well. May I send you my
00:10:03 #90 Hoties, congratulations.

00:10:09 #92 OK.
00:10:10 #93 You heard me, and send me one of those fancy autographs
00:10:13 #94 of yours on a nice, fat check.
00:10:16 #95 I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid I shall have to refuse.
00:10:20 #96 I'll be yourself.
00:10:21 #97 Big reformers who lead double lives can't refuse.
00:10:24 #98 I'll look here.
00:10:26 #99 I'll see you dead first.
00:10:29 #100 Listen, you'll be here after the theater
00:10:31 #101 with a dough and like it.
00:10:37 #102 A little rent.
00:11:01 #103 May I speak to Mr. Louis Manix, please?
00:11:03 #104 Quiet, quiet, my wife.
00:11:06 #105 Don't get excited.
00:11:07 #106 I just thought you'd like to know I've sold
00:11:09 #107 the body down the river.
00:11:11 #108 I'm going to marry young Spotswood.
00:11:13 #109 Ha ha, splendid.
00:11:16 #110 Yes, darling.
00:11:17 #111 And I've decided that you're the best man.
00:11:21 #112 Best man?
00:11:22 #113 Yeah, the best man I know of to kick in
00:11:24 #114 with a nice handsome present in cash.
00:11:27 #115 What do you mean is, you can't afford to let the ball and chain know what a big hearted
00:11:34 #116 sandy-cloth you've been.
00:11:36 #117 Now look here, I've told you what I'd do to you if you ever got to... the wife?
00:11:41 #118 Forget that, Bunk.
00:11:42 #119 And be on my front porch after the show with that jack, or I'll get to your wife all
00:11:47 #120 right.
00:11:59 #121 It's Dr. Lindquist speaking.
00:12:00 #122 Oh yes, Dr. Lindquist.
00:12:01 #123 How would you like to do me a little favor?
00:12:05 #124 Oh, I certainly might.
00:12:07 #125 I'd do anything for you, you know.
00:12:10 #126 How would you like to go jump in the lake?
00:12:12 #127 Oh Margaret, don't joke with me.
00:12:15 #128 I'm not in a mood for it.
00:12:17 #129 I'll get wise to yourself.
00:12:19 #130 I'm through with you. You give me the willies.
00:12:22 #131 I warn you Margaret, I'm desperate.
00:12:25 #132 If I can't have you, no other man shall ever have you alive.
00:12:30 #133 Tony!
00:12:59 #134 In person baby. That was my little squaw.
00:13:03 #135 I thought you were still in jail.
00:13:05 #136 Well, I got tired of the big house, Mrs. Skeal,
00:13:09 #137 so I dropped in to see my little wife.
00:13:12 #138 I'm not your wife.
00:13:13 #139 I'll come.
00:13:14 #140 I divorced you six months ago.
00:13:16 #141 Yeah?
00:13:17 #142 Listen, baby, a little thing like a divorce
00:13:23 #143 don't mean anything to me.
00:13:25 #144 I heard you taking those suckers down over the phone.
00:13:29 #145 And I'm in and in on the works.
00:13:32 #146 50-50.
00:13:33 #147 You big crook.
00:13:34 #148 You're not in on this one.
00:13:36 #149 Oh, you big heel!
00:13:40 #150 Hey, I ought to bump you off.
00:13:47 #151 You're doing your swing for it.
00:13:49 #152 Well, maybe it'll be worth it.
00:13:52 #153 I'll get this. I'm in on this racket.
00:13:55 #154 I'll be back for my cut.
00:13:58 #155 Yeah? Try and get it.
00:14:01 #156 Say, baby, don't bother changing the box on this door.
00:14:10 #157 The lock I can't pick is still in Yale.
00:14:13 #158 Miss O'Dell, may I see you for a few moments please?
00:14:48 #159 It won't get you anything, but come ahead.
00:14:50 #160 Thank you.
00:14:51 #161 I have something to say to you, Miss O'Dell,
00:15:24 #162 which I believe will make you change your mind about Jimmy.
00:15:27 #163 Paper, Mr. Morning Paper?
00:16:30 #164 No. No. No.
00:16:33 #165 Thanks, Mr.
00:16:39 #166 Very well, Miss O'Dell. That suits me perfectly.
00:16:57 #167 Take it over tonight, and I'll come for your answer in the morning.
00:17:00 #168 Good night.
00:17:01 #169 Boy, would you call me a taxi please?
00:17:07 #170 Yes, sir.
00:17:08 #171 said. What's that. The. Bill. So what's wrong.
00:17:29 #172 Something startled me Mr. Spotswood but I'm all right now. Are you sure you're
00:17:33 #173 all right. Yes quite sure we're not home and come back in the morning.
00:17:39 #174 Very well then I see you in the morning. Good night.
00:17:49 #175 Stuyvesant. Say hello. What the big idea and you coming in here late
00:18:25 #176 Me late you get you late I've been here for now. I don't want that stuff.
00:18:31 #177 Well, I think it's a bit bigger. Pardon.
00:18:34 #178 Mr. Spotsworth calling on Miss Odell by appointment.
00:18:43 #179 He don't answer. Is she going out? Do you think I've been on all night?
00:18:50 #180 And you haven't seen her go out. No, sir. That's funny.
00:18:54 #181 You suppose she can be ill. But we may go and knock.
00:18:59 #182 Yes, yes, let's do that.
00:19:01 #183 Miss O'Dell.
00:19:10 #184 Miss O'Dell, are you ill?
00:19:15 #185 No!
00:19:16 #186 What's the matter?
00:19:17 #187 Something has happened!

00:19:22 #190 Say, fella, get running in the forget-it cop.
00:19:30 #191 and say he gets a big one too.
00:19:35 #192 You better let me have that.
00:19:42 #193 What's the matter here?
00:19:51 #194 Something's happening there.
00:19:52 #195 I'll see if that can go in.
00:19:53 #196 He's dead.
00:20:05 #197 Please head quarters, please.
00:20:17 #198 Petroman Tassidy speaking.
00:20:23 #199 There's a woman dead at 184 West 71st Street.
00:20:26 #200 It looks like murder.
00:20:28 #201 Okay, Tassidy.
00:20:29 #202 She's been dead since midnight, Sergeant.
00:20:43 #203 Strangled to death.
00:20:45 #204 Not all, man.
00:20:47 #205 Sergeant, the district attorney just pulled up and he's coming right in.
00:20:51 #206 That's great.
00:20:53 #207 He's got that Mr. Fowl old man with him.
00:20:56 #208 Well, that'll be just dandy. Sherlock Holmes on the job again, huh?
00:21:00 #209 Have a good morning, Sergeant.
00:21:02 #210 Good morning, Mr. Markham.
00:21:04 #211 Well, hello, Mr. Van.
00:21:06 #212 Oh, you're Sergeant.
00:21:07 #213 Fine. Haven't seen you since the green motor day.
00:21:09 #214 Quite right.
00:21:10 #215 Oh, good morning, Mr. Spotswood.
00:21:12 #216 Good morning, Mr. Markham.
00:21:14 #217 Well, Sergeant, what does it look like?
00:21:17 #218 Well, Chief, just another clear case of robbery.
00:21:19 #219 All I can make out of it.
00:21:20 #220 Mastery business, Charles, huh?
00:21:22 #221 Oh, terrible.
00:21:23 #222 As you know, I was here last night to make my final appeal to her for Jimmy.
00:21:29 #223 And when I came back this morning for her answer, this has happened.
00:21:33 #224 Yes.
00:21:34 #225 They'll probably want to keep you here for a few moments, Charles.
00:21:37 #226 Yes, I suppose they will.
00:21:39 #227 And by the way, I explained to the district attorney on a way down about Jimmy and the girl here.
00:21:45 #228 Oh, that's good. I'm glad you did that, Philo. You know, if I can tell you anything that will help.
00:21:51 #229 Well, perhaps later, Charles. Meanwhile, I'll have a bit of a look about it.
00:21:55 #230 I don't think there's anything worth you looking at, Mr. Vance. It's a clear case.
00:22:00 #231 Robbery. She put up a battle and may wreck the joint.
00:22:05 #232 I see. As simple as that, eh?
00:22:07 #233 it was just the same sergeant you don't mind I think I'll have just one little
00:22:11 #234 look show them a to that go right ahead make yourself perfectly at home thank you
00:22:15 #235 Sergeant excuse me
00:22:19 #236 but when do we sleep you get this sunny boy you'll go for a long sleep unless you
00:22:29 #237 button up that big trap of yours yes sergeant yes chief anything your friend
00:22:36 #238 Well, so far no. I'll tell you this job was done by an expert. It's perfect.
00:22:42 #239 Yes, that's just the trouble.
00:22:44 #240 What's that?
00:22:45 #241 It's too perfect.
00:22:47 #242 Well, that's a little over my head, Mr. Vance. Just what do you mean by too perfect?
00:22:53 #243 Well, Sergeant, what usually happens when a heavy lamp like that is knocked off a table?
00:22:59 #244 Well, I don't know, but I'll bite. What does happen?
00:23:04 #245 It usually smashes, doesn't it?
00:23:06 #246 It might.
00:23:07 #247 Well, look at that lamp.
00:23:08 #248 Well, what about it?
00:23:12 #249 Well, simply that that lamp was placed there to give the effect of a struggle.
00:23:17 #250 Maybe.
00:23:18 #251 Let me see, Sergeant.
00:23:20 #252 It does look a little obvious, doesn't it, Vance?
00:23:22 #253 I should say something.
00:23:24 #254 Hey, boy.
00:23:25 #255 What happened here last night after you heard Miss Odell scream and you and Mr. Spots would
00:23:30 #256 ran down the hall to her door?
00:23:32 #257 She said she was all right.
00:23:35 #258 And I called Mr. Spotswood a taxi cab.
00:23:40 #259 And you got away with it?
00:23:41 #260 Yes, sir.
00:23:43 #261 That's right. What time was this?
00:23:44 #262 It's on the call sheet there I gave you about...
00:23:51 #263 Never mind. I can read it.
00:23:52 #264 Oh, 10.
00:23:59 #265 Now, this is Spotswood.
00:24:01 #266 Where did you go last evening after you left here?
00:24:03 #267 I went directly to the Stuyverson Club.
00:24:05 #268 That's right, Sergeant.
00:24:06 #269 I met Mr. Spotswood at the club.
00:24:08 #270 at the club shortly after twelve we played poker until almost daylight I believe
00:24:13 #271 wasn't it must have been I know it was wrong after four oh yeah you mentioned
00:24:17 #272 that coming down here man right that'll be all for the present
00:24:20 #273 this possible thank you Markham but if you do want me later on Mr. Vance has my
00:24:24 #274 number right good bye goodbye bye bye Charles I'll phone you right ahead boys
00:24:28 #275 Oh, Sergeant, would you step over here for a moment please?
00:25:15 #276 All right, Mr. Vance, what is it now?
00:25:21 #277 Do you observe anything peculiar here?
00:25:24 #278 Why, surely.
00:25:30 #279 The key is on the inside.
00:25:32 #280 Excellent, Sergeant.
00:25:34 #281 Don't you think we might go over that now for fingerprints?
00:25:38 #282 Well, now, uh...
00:25:40 #283 Oh, I get you, Mr. Vance.
00:25:45 #284 Get your Mr. Vance.
00:25:47 #285 The murderer locked himself in this closet.
00:25:51 #286 When Spock would left, he came out and cropped the canary.
00:25:58 #287 No, I hardly think so, Sergeant.
00:26:02 #288 If you'll observe, this is the one place in the entire apartment that hasn't been disturbed.
00:26:09 #289 Now what does that signify?
00:26:10 #290 That and the fact of the key being found on the inside.
00:26:14 #291 Just as I told you, the murderer was in this closet and came out when spots were left.
00:26:20 #292 I don't think you quite get my point, Sergeant. If the murderer had been in here, he would have upset this closet as he did the rest of the apartment, wouldn't he?
00:26:30 #293 Well, yes, I guess he would.
00:26:33 #294 Precisely. The gentleman, it was someone else who was in that closet while the apartment was being ransacked. And that someone witnessed the murder.
00:26:43 #295 through the keyhole splendid Sergeant and if you'll find who was in that closet I
00:26:48 #296 think you will learn from him or her who it was that killed the canary Sergeant get
00:26:55 #297 the finger print for you or Joe oh Sergeant you might check up on the other
00:27:02 #298 apartments Mr. Van Snare going outside you come here yes it lives in that
00:27:17 #299 apartment there. The first isn't she the day that had the battle with the canary
00:27:27 #300 the other night over young spots would. Impossible to get in here and say so.
00:28:00 #301 That's odd. They put back in the thing. What do you think? I see Mr. Cross. I see.
00:28:06 #302 But you and the canary had a fight over young spots would did you. Well yes we
00:28:11 #303 did have a fight. You see she took Jimmy away from me and got him into trouble but
00:28:17 #304 that's all over now Jimmy and I made it up just day before yesterday. You didn't see
00:28:21 #305 young Spotswood last night did you? Why yes he brought me home from the theater.
00:28:25 #306 Oh so he was hanging around here last night was he? Yes but he was with me
00:28:32 #307 until after one hour. Wait a minute lady wait a minute you save your alibi as
00:28:37 #308 we get you down to headquarters go step on your things but you don't think that I'm
00:28:42 #309 on I'm frightened. I don't you be worried I look. Just you do as the sergeant says
00:28:53 #310 all right you know I'm beginning to question this robbery theory Mr.
00:29:04 #311 Vance I were right oh yeah why I can see plainly that this murder is all mixed up
00:29:15 #312 in a love back but chief I think we'd better round up this young spots would

00:31:06 #322 Well. Who's next on the list.
00:31:11 #323 Manics I'd like to make a bit of an experiment.
00:31:18 #324 Have you had a pencil that.
00:31:21 #325 Yes there you are. You have that newspaper handed it right here already all right.
00:31:36 #326 Good morning, Mr. Van. Good morning.
00:31:43 #327 Good morning.
00:31:45 #328 Will you please take a seat?
00:31:47 #329 Thank you.
00:31:48 #330 Sorry.
00:31:58 #331 Mr. Medics, there are a few questions I'd like to ask you.
00:32:03 #332 Questions? What about?
00:32:06 #333 I don't know anything about this.
00:32:08 #334 It was a great shock to me.
00:32:10 #335 What was a great shock to you?
00:32:12 #336 Right.
00:32:13 #337 I thought perhaps you were going to ask me about the canary.
00:32:18 #338 Exactly. You read my thoughts, Mr. Manix.
00:32:22 #339 Did you ever see that necklace before?
00:32:26 #340 Why?
00:32:30 #341 Ah, yes.
00:32:32 #342 Fact is, I gave that to Canary.
00:32:35 #343 Little token of esteem.
00:32:37 #344 Nice girl, the Canary.
00:32:40 #345 I'd met her once or twice.
00:32:42 #346 Casual acquaintance.
00:32:45 #347 Rather an expensive gift to give to a casual acquaintance, isn't it?
00:32:50 #348 Do you know that the canary was strangled with that necklace?
00:32:53 #349 Most remarkable.
00:33:00 #350 Unfortunate, I should say.
00:33:03 #351 Where were you last night between 11 and 1 o'clock?
00:33:07 #352 Between 11 and 1?
00:33:12 #353 Yes. Let me see.
00:33:16 #354 Why I was home?
00:33:18 #355 I went to bed about 10 o'clock.
00:33:20 #356 Oh, tired out. You understand?
00:33:23 #357 Pardon me, Mr. Money.
00:33:25 #358 a man. Any comments to make Mr. Manics I'd have it as my drawing triangles.
00:33:44 #359 A Mr. Manic. If you were in your bed last night and a part. How do you
00:33:50 #360 manage to drop that newspaper just outside the canary's. That edition isn't
00:33:55 #361 on the streets until 11. Well you've got me. I'll tell the truth.
00:34:06 #362 Always best tell the truth especially when there's. No reason to lie. It
00:34:11 #363 It was like this. The canary called my home at dinner time last night.
00:34:17 #364 Most embarrassing. Mrs. Manix was with me.
00:34:22 #365 I had a minute to tell my wife about the canary.
00:34:25 #366 She wouldn't have understood.
00:34:28 #367 The canary told me that she was going to be married and wanted to see me.
00:34:34 #368 Said that I should come to her apartment at 11 o'clock.
00:34:37 #369 Well, I couldn't argue over the phone.
00:34:42 #370 The Mrs. was listening.
00:34:46 #371 So I said, all right.
00:34:48 #372 So at 11 o'clock, I went to the canaries apartment.
00:34:52 #373 I entered the hall by a side door.
00:34:55 #374 I went directly to her apartment.
00:34:57 #375 I was about to winter when I heard voices inside.
00:35:00 #376 I listened.
00:35:02 #377 There was a man in there.
00:35:04 #378 He was arguing.
00:35:05 #379 Of course.
00:35:06 #380 Well, that was no place for me.
00:35:09 #381 So I returned home without seeing the canary.
00:35:13 #382 Our entry? Her apartment.
00:35:15 #383 Well, that'll be all that questioning for the present, Mr. Manix.
00:35:19 #384 But I'll have to ask you to wait in the outer office.
00:35:21 #385 I may want to speak to you later on.
00:35:23 #386 Oh, won't you let me go home?
00:35:27 #387 I'll get an awful mess with my wife.
00:35:30 #388 I'm sorry you'll have to wait.
00:35:32 #389 have to wait. Mr. Markham. I would run away.
00:35:36 #390 Uh, Melfield. Help me up.
00:35:51 #391 Mr. Markham. You've got to help me square this with my wife.
00:36:00 #392 We will now have, uh, Mr. Cleaver. Good morning, Mr. Cleaver.
00:36:11 #393 Good morning, Mr. Markham. Can I do anything for you?
00:36:15 #394 Will you, uh, please have a seat?
00:36:17 #395 Mind if I smoke a cigar?
00:36:19 #396 Oh, please do. Uh, Mr. Cleaver.
00:36:30 #397 Do you mind if I ask you some questions?
00:36:34 #398 Why, of course, if I can be of any help.
00:36:38 #399 Where were you last night? Between 11 and 1, oh, Clark.
00:36:44 #400 Motoring. Up for Hudson. In the moonlight.
00:36:50 #401 Alone. Though I don't see what that has to do with the district attorney's office.
00:37:01 #402 Well, only this, Mr. Cleaver.
00:37:03 #403 If you were indulging in the nocturnal beauties of nature along the Hudson last
00:37:07 #404 evening, how does it happen that this cigar ban, bearing your initials, was found
00:37:14 #405 just outside the canaries window at an early hour this morning? Well if I was
00:37:24 #406 passing the canaries apartment you can't twist that into a crime. Oh then you did
00:37:30 #407 pass her apartment. Why yes I'm nothing to hide. It was about dinner time last
00:37:38 #408 night the canary phoned to me oh of course my my acquaintance with her was
00:37:44 #409 wholly in my line as social reformer I'd hope that she was going to leave very
00:37:51 #410 moral life and marry and settle down and be a good woman and you kept the
00:37:58 #411 appointment yes yes and no I was a little late arrived at her apartment
00:38:07 #412 to about a quarter to twelve or thereabouts, I waited for a minute outside her window to
00:38:15 #413 light a cigar. Then I glanced down to the side entrance to the building. And who should
00:38:24 #414 I chance to see? Dr. Lindquist. He was behaving in a very peculiar manner, seemed to me
00:38:35 #415 very clear. Very mysterious. I didn't like it so I made up my mind not to see the canary
00:38:44 #416 again. I turned. Back home. I can tell you. Busy man and I hope you'll excuse me. I'm
00:38:56 #417 very sorry Mr. David but I have to ask you to wait in the office. I might want to question
00:39:00 #418 you again. My word. You'll be sorry for this. Well I think my chance is
00:39:09 #419 a little bit charming for a little bit of a while but by the way man. I didn't see
00:39:21 #420 you pick up the cigar man in front of the guy the part of this morning. I didn't.
00:39:27 #421 Where did you get it. From your waist basket waist basket. Keep a drop to that
00:39:34 #422 when he had. I took a chance on his not remembering that. It seemed to work.
00:39:41 #423 Well I'll be. Going to. Dr. Lindquist.
00:39:54 #424 Come on down. Take your head. He caught Dr. Lindquist just as he was leaving town.
00:40:02 #425 It's a lie. It was on the way to a patient.
00:40:05 #426 Would you please sit down doctor and I'll ask you a few questions.
00:40:09 #427 Doctor?
00:40:16 #428 Where were you last night?
00:40:18 #429 Between 11 and 1 o'clock.
00:40:20 #430 None of your business.
00:40:23 #431 It is some of my business.
00:40:25 #432 You were seen coming on the Canaries apartment at midnight.
00:40:30 #433 Now you're...
00:40:32 #434 Not so fast, doctor. Calm yourself, doctor.
00:40:35 #435 I'm sorry.
00:40:44 #436 I lost my temper.
00:40:46 #437 I'm under a terrible strain.
00:40:54 #438 I loved it.
00:40:59 #439 Canary.
00:41:00 #440 I'm very, very...
00:41:05 #441 I'd be upset, you know.
00:41:12 #442 That the canary was strangled with that necklace?
00:41:22 #443 You don't... that kills me.
00:41:25 #444 Well, Dr. Lindquist, there's really no need for you to be excited.
00:41:29 #445 Now, Mr. Markham here is merely trying to find out what you know.
00:41:36 #446 I know. I know.
00:41:38 #447 I think.
00:41:40 #448 Markham, don't you think that we might postpone the interview with Dr. Lindquist for a while?
00:41:45 #449 Why, what?
00:41:46 #450 Very well.
00:41:51 #451 That'll be all for the present, Doctor.
00:41:54 #452 I'd like to have you remain in the outer office.
00:42:11 #453 What was the idea, Vance?
00:42:13 #454 We had him, where he was about to tell us everything.
00:42:16 #455 Well, on the contrary, Markham.
00:42:18 #456 In his presence, extremely excited condition.
00:42:20 #457 I very much doubt that he would have told us anything.
00:42:23 #458 I do think, however, that if we give him a chance to cool off a bit,
00:42:27 #459 he's very likely to tell us the truth.
00:42:28 #460 Well, perhaps you're right.
00:42:31 #461 Good morning, Sergeant.
00:42:32 #462 How are you, Sergeant?
00:42:33 #463 Good morning, Chief.
00:42:35 #464 Hello, Mr. Vance.
00:42:38 #465 Look at slanted toes.
00:42:43 #466 There's the Canaries Jewels.
00:42:45 #467 They were found in a ash can about a block from her apartment this morning.
00:42:51 #468 I guess that kind of disproves the robberate theory.
00:42:56 #469 We were right, Mr. Vance.
00:43:01 #470 Hmm I say we were right. Oh, yes. Yes, apparently we were sergeant
00:43:08 #471 Now it's up there to find another motive. Yes quite right sergeant
00:43:13 #472 You know Malcolm I've been thinking this over all morning
00:43:18 #473 And I believe that I can come pretty close to the psychology of the man who committed this murder
00:43:23 #474 I believe that I can pick him up from that list of suspects if he's among them
00:43:28 #475 However, it will require a bit of an experiment. What is in your mind?
00:43:32 #476 Well, I'd like to use that conference room of yours there for a friendly little game of poker with your suspects.
00:43:39 #477 Well, now that's a cute idea.
00:43:42 #478 Well, just what is your idea then?
00:43:44 #479 Well, just this mark of it.
00:43:45 #480 A man's true nature always comes out in a game of poker.
00:43:49 #481 Now, I know the type and the temperament of the man who murdered the canary.
00:43:54 #482 And in a game of poker, I believe that I can come pretty close to putting my finger on him.
00:44:00 #483 That's a new way of catching crooks.
00:44:03 #484 Ha! Hey, ladies and gentlemen, please.
00:44:06 #485 Well, go ahead, Vance. The experiment can do no harm.
00:44:10 #486 Quite right. Now, I'd like to have the sergeant help.
00:44:13 #487 Well, I'd be very glad to help you, Mr. Vance.
00:44:16 #488 As long as you don't try to hang the murder on me.
00:44:20 #489 Uh, Sergeant, will you please take Mr. Vance's orders, please?
00:44:23 #490 Okay, Chief.
00:44:24 #491 Will you get me a deck of cards?
00:44:34 #492 And have some poker chips handy just outside there.
00:44:37 #493 That's easy
00:44:39 #494 Then bring in the suspects and
00:44:41 #495 Impress upon them that they may be detained here for quite a while possibly two or even three hours
00:44:48 #496 That's okay, mr. Vance, but how are you going to get these suspects?
00:44:53 #497 Into this proper game without it appearing only to them but Sergeant I rather think that the power of suggestion will take care of that oh
00:45:04 #498 Power suggestion exactly now Sergeant look in from time to time
00:45:08 #499 And when I pulled my handkerchief from my pocket, so, break up the game by telling them that they're all free to go home.
00:45:17 #500 Understand?
00:45:18 #501 I get you. But when you release them, I'll have my boys' table.
00:45:22 #502 Very good, sir.
00:45:23 #503 And Mr. Vance, here's to the power of suggestion.
00:45:27 #504 Now gentlemen, you're liable to be here for two or three hours. Perhaps longer.
00:45:48 #505 And so, gracious, just make yourselves at home.
00:45:53 #506 You know this is going to get me an awful mess with my wife.
00:45:56 #507 That is a no interest to me sir.
00:45:59 #508 I'm sorry.
00:46:00 #509 What's the idea Mr. Vance?
00:46:02 #510 Well, what are they going to do with Alice?
00:46:05 #511 Ah Jimmy, don't you worry.
00:46:07 #512 Nothing is going to happen to Alice.
00:46:08 #513 So Mr. Vance, you know this is going to get me an awful mess with my wife.
00:46:13 #514 Martha's a wife, my wife's a wonderful woman and all that.
00:46:17 #515 But sometimes she just doesn't understand me.
00:46:20 #516 Stanley the last time I was a little indiscreted cost me a fur coat.
00:46:28 #517 I hate to think what this is going to cost. But don't you think if you put.
00:46:34 #518 They get part of my side.
00:46:37 #519 Mr. Vance you haven't got an extra pack of cards and I'm sorry Mr.
00:46:40 #520 Monics but you're welcome to be home. Thanks just the same.
00:46:45 #521 I wish we could play a little cards.
00:46:50 #522 Say, that's a good idea. How about poker?
00:46:54 #523 I'm agreeable.
00:46:55 #524 What about the others?
00:46:56 #525 Dr. Lindquist?
00:46:57 #526 Anything to pass the time.
00:47:00 #527 Mr. Cleaver?
00:47:01 #528 Well, as a rule, it's against my principle.
00:47:05 #529 But I suppose all the new cages like this one,
00:47:08 #530 when can we next set up a...
00:47:12 #531 Just draw up chairs, gentlemen.
00:47:14 #532 Thank you.
00:47:16 #533 Sergeant.
00:47:18 #534 How about some poker chips?
00:47:19 #535 Charlie.
00:47:20 #536 Yes.
00:47:28 #537 Mr. Spotswood is here.
00:47:30 #538 Have it in.
00:47:32 #539 Come in, Mr. Spotswood.
00:47:34 #540 Good morning, Mr. Spotswood.
00:47:35 #541 Good morning, Markham. Good morning.
00:47:37 #542 I see Markham.
00:47:39 #543 What are you holding Jimmy for?
00:47:41 #544 Surely you're not accusing him.
00:47:43 #545 No, no, of course not.
00:47:45 #546 We're simply trying to find out what he knows. That's all.
00:47:47 #547 Oh, yes, yes.
00:47:49 #548 Where is he now?
00:47:50 #549 Why, in the other room there with Vance.
00:47:52 #550 May I see him?
00:47:53 #551 Why, certainly, of course he would.
00:47:55 #552 for. The last. The spot was here. Hello dad hello Jimmy and the morning child

00:49:40 #579 Oh, so you called a one-chip bet with three aces.
00:50:07 #580 Open.
00:50:08 #581 I'm out.
00:50:14 #582 Be the pass.

00:51:38 #591 Ten more.
00:51:42 #592 That's me out.
00:51:45 #593 I'm out.
00:51:47 #594 And me.

00:51:52 #596 Cars, gentlemen.
00:51:56 #597 Three for me, please.
00:51:59 #598 Man, Mr. Spatsman.
00:52:04 #599 I have plenty.
00:52:05 #600 Mmm.
00:52:06 #601 A white stack, Charles.
00:52:18 #602 Two white stacks.
00:52:23 #603 A...
00:52:24 #604 Up two chips, Charles.
00:52:39 #605 Two...
00:52:40 #606 Ha.
00:52:41 #607 Oh, you want me to do the betting, eh?
00:52:44 #608 All right.
00:52:49 #609 I'm afraid I'm overcome by curiosity.
00:53:05 #610 What have you?
00:53:10 #611 Ha.
00:53:11 #612 Two deuces.
00:53:15 #613 They're good.
00:53:27 #614 Well, why the philanthropy, Paolo?
00:53:29 #615 Well, I have a fire.
00:53:33 #616 Pardon me, Mr. Lance, but I speak to you a moment.
00:53:46 #617 Excuse me, please.
00:53:47 #618 Here is the man who was in the canary's clothes closet and who witnessed her murder.
00:54:03 #619 Hmm.
00:54:06 #620 Well, I shouldn't like to be the man he saw.
00:54:09 #621 Thank goodness he didn't see me through the keyhole.
00:54:15 #622 So that man witnessed a murder.
00:54:22 #623 a singularly un-attractive countenance.
00:54:32 #624 Well, if he knows, why doesn't he tell who did it?
00:54:39 #625 I've been instructed by the District Attorney to inform you that you're all free to go home.
00:54:53 #626 Thank goodness for that.
00:54:55 #627 I wonder what the wife will say.
00:54:58 #628 As anyone of thousands hands leaves, there's my...
00:55:06 #629 Oh, thank you, Jimmy.
00:55:15 #630 I didn't tell you about this bird, Mr. Vance, in front of the others, is that he phoned in
00:55:22 #631 and said that he'd be in the District Attorney's Office tomorrow, and still the whole work.
00:55:26 #632 He says that he saw the guy that croaked the canary.
00:55:30 #633 He'll come in and tell us who it was.
00:55:33 #634 Now we haven't been able to locate him yet, so I guess we just have to wait.
00:55:45 #635 But a sudden, that takes the matter out of my hands.
00:55:50 #636 Mark him, there can be no doubt of it.
00:56:37 #637 person who strangled the canary strangled this new murder was done to cover up the
00:56:42 #638 first skill was obviously blackmailing the canaries murder he threatened to inform the
00:56:49 #639 police of what he had seen through the keyhole of the closet and when the
00:56:53 #640 murderer learned yesterday at the poker game that the police knew who had been
00:56:57 #641 in the closet he put skill out of the way at the earliest possible moment I
00:57:04 #642 and believe your right
00:57:14 #643 in any of the suspect
00:57:15 #644 the way for your men last night
00:57:17 #645 we never lost sight of the inquest
00:57:20 #646 and the girl
00:57:22 #647 but on spot
00:57:24 #648 and uh... cleaver
00:57:26 #649 gave us the slip
00:57:35 #650 that means
00:57:36 #651 him and people
00:57:38 #652 morning chief
00:57:40 #653 All right. Oh, Mr. Vance. Good morning, Doctor.
00:57:46 #654 Well, Chief, everything's OK.
00:57:49 #655 I've got the guilty man, and I've got him right.
00:57:54 #656 You've got him?
00:57:55 #657 I hope to tell you I have.
00:57:56 #658 Where is he?
00:58:07 #659 This fool arrested me this morning at breakfast for the murder.
00:58:10 #660 Why?
00:58:11 #661 It's just like shooting fish in a tub, Chief.
00:58:14 #662 I've got all the dope, and I've got it down the path.
00:58:16 #663 More even everything.
00:58:18 #664 Now this dame Alice croaked the canary.
00:58:21 #665 Jealous because she'd stolen her thought.
00:58:24 #666 The kid here bought Stigalol to shut his mouth
00:58:27 #667 and to protect the dame.
00:58:29 #668 Alive!
00:58:30 #669 That isn't all, Chief. I've got the evidence.
00:58:33 #670 And it's not psychology, Mr. Vance.
00:58:36 #671 Mr. Vance? He lies.
00:58:37 #672 He hasn't done the evidence. He couldn't have.
00:58:39 #673 Just a minute, Jimmy.
00:58:41 #674 Pardon me.
00:58:42 #675 What did you say?
00:58:44 #676 Well, I don't go on searing.
00:58:47 #677 I use cold facts.
00:58:49 #678 Mr. Vance.
00:58:51 #679 And you wait a minute.
00:58:55 #680 Did you ever see that pen?
00:58:58 #681 Yes. It's mine.
00:59:01 #682 You bet your life it's yours.
00:59:07 #683 Take a look at that pen, Mr. Vance.
00:59:11 #684 Cheese? Well?
00:59:14 #685 I'll listen to this.
00:59:16 #686 This morning I found that pen on the floor there, but the table where Skiil was murdered.
00:59:20 #687 And the kid here admits that it is.
00:59:23 #688 When you're mad what have you to say yes I kill them both of them I guess that doesn't
00:59:40 #689 achieve we've got them in a sack now this game out is way less that's what you wanted
00:59:48 #690 now take me out take my way Max see you later job is cheap sorry Mr.
01:00:09 #691 Then romance I guess that's close the case no mark on it doesn't what do you mean I
01:00:22 #692 I mean that the boy is not guilty.
01:00:24 #693 Well that's nonsense.
01:00:26 #694 Not nonsense, Markham.
01:00:28 #695 Because I know who is guilty.
01:00:31 #696 Come now, Ben. Ben.
01:00:33 #697 I tell you, Markham, I know.
01:00:35 #698 And inside of one hour, you'll know too.
01:00:38 #699 I'm going to telephone at once.
01:00:41 #700 To the real murderer, and have him come to the Canary's apartment.
01:00:45 #701 And I want you to be there.
01:00:47 #702 The boy has confessed everything, Markham.
01:00:51 #703 If you don't meet me there, you'll be the laughing stock of New York in 24 hours.
01:00:56 #704 Because I'll have a confession of the real murderer.
01:01:00 #705 Alright, Ben. Be well, Ben. Wait. I'll be there.
01:01:19 #706 Number three.
01:01:20 #707 Bayview, 2121.
01:01:22 #708 Ben, 2121.
01:01:23 #709 Yes, please.
01:01:24 #710 This is Philo Vance. I want to speak with Mr.-
01:01:37 #711 Oh, hello, Philo. How are you?
01:01:38 #712 I didn't recognize your voice.
01:01:40 #713 I have something of extreme importance to tell you.
01:01:44 #714 Jimmy has just been arrested. He has confessed to the murder of both the Canary and Skiyo.
01:01:50 #715 Do you understand?
01:01:54 #716 I understand, Philo. Jimmy is not guilty. I am the man you want.
01:02:03 #717 How soon will you meet me at the Canaries apart?
01:02:06 #718 You'll take me almost an hour to get in from the country, but I'll be there.
01:02:09 #719 Good. It's been over an hour now, ma'am.
01:02:29 #720 Don't be impatient, Malcolm. He'll be there.
01:02:40 #721 Who is it you're expecting?
01:02:45 #722 You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
01:02:48 #723 And I must admit...
01:02:50 #724 that without his confession...
01:02:52 #725 I haven't a shred of real proof to all of you.
01:03:05 #726 Hello? Yes?
01:03:11 #727 Now this is Mr. Bant speaking.
01:03:24 #728 All right.
01:03:28 #729 What is it, Bantz?
01:03:30 #730 Spotswood has just been killed...
01:03:33 #731 in a motor accident.
01:03:34 #732 Spotswood killed?
01:03:49 #733 My sympathy's all, Bantz.
01:03:51 #734 I know what great friends you were.
01:03:57 #735 It's worse than you realize, Markham.
01:03:59 #736 It was Spotswood who killed both the Canary and Skeet.
01:04:05 #737 Spotswood? I've known it ever since the poker game.
01:04:09 #738 But how could you know?
01:04:11 #739 Sit down, Mark. It wasn't really so difficult.
01:04:23 #740 Remember, a man who committed this particular crime must have had certain definite qualities.
01:04:32 #741 a mind capable of working out a well-planned and brilliant course of action.
01:04:38 #742 Willing to take a desperate chance and see it through.
01:04:43 #743 Now consider the men in the game.
01:04:46 #744 Jimmy, I ruled out at the start, but I'd known him as a boy and his youth and impulsiveness were hardly consistent with such an obviously premeditated murder.
01:05:00 #745 Linguist was far too excitable and erratic to have plotted such a carefully calculated crime.
01:05:08 #746 Cleaver, much too cautious, and entirely lacking in the necessary oldness,
01:05:15 #747 manics, timid, and unwilling to take any risk except upon an absolutely sure thing.
01:05:22 #748 thing. The only man at the table with enough imagination to plan such a crime
01:05:28 #749 and with sufficient self-confidence and daring to carry it through when he held
01:05:36 #750 a pair of juices refused to draw to them and bet every chip he had on the chance
01:05:42 #751 of bluffing me out the realization suddenly dawned upon me that he was
01:05:48 #752 the murder. For he was the one man of them all psychologically fitted for such an act.
01:05:56 #753 But how about finding Jimmy's pen in the scheme of apartment?
01:06:00 #754 I borrowed Jimmy's fountain pen out of the poker game.
01:06:04 #755 My hypothesis is that in the confusion, Spotswood put the pen into his own pocket
01:06:11 #756 and that Jimmy saw him do it. That is why Jimmy made his confession.
01:06:15 #757 to shield his father.
01:06:17 #758 Yes, but against all that theory, Vance,
01:06:22 #759 we have certain definite facts.
01:06:25 #760 Now, for instance, Spotswood left the canary the apartment
01:06:29 #761 while she was still alive.
01:06:32 #762 He talked to her through that door.
01:06:35 #763 The hallboy, looking through the keyhole,
01:06:38 #764 saw the canary lying on this sofa smoking a cigarette.
01:06:42 #765 Spotswood then went away
01:06:44 #766 and spent the rest of the evening with you.
01:06:47 #767 True, and yet I know he committed the murder.
01:06:54 #768 And I've got to find out how he did it.
01:07:03 #769 I'm afraid you will dance so that Jimmy can go free.
01:07:09 #770 Spotswood himself was coming here to tell how it was done in order to free Jimmy.
01:07:15 #771 But now he's dead. I've got to solve it.
01:07:23 #772 And Harry was lying there. Spotswood, let us say, was standing here
01:10:34 #773 standing here making a final plea for his boy, which met with an absolute refusal.
01:10:44 #774 He walked around to the head of the sofa. Suddenly, he clapped his hand over her mouth, and with
01:10:51 #775 his other hand caught her necklet. And before she had a chance to cry out, he strangled
01:10:58 #776 her. He then proceeded to set the stage to make it appear that the crime had been committed
01:11:05 #777 with robbery as a motive. He stripped her jewels from her and placed them in his
01:11:09 #778 pocket. Then he took a cigarette from that box and lit it. He laid her hand here, placed
01:11:24 #779 the cigarette between her fingers so that in case anyone should look through the keyhole
01:11:29 #780 of that door there, it would appear as if she were lying here smoking. He then overturned
01:11:36 #781 the entire apartment to make it look as if a burglar had ransacked the place. Step over
01:11:42 #782 here, Markham. He came to this closet door, but he couldn't open it. Skiil had locked
01:11:52 #783 himself in those parts would get no doubt. And he'll do the keyhole so everything
01:11:58 #784 that spots would get. That accounts for the orderly condition of this one closet
01:12:02 #785 but everything else in the apartment was ransacked. That mark on. The technique
01:12:08 #786 of the crime itself. But then it'll occur to the fact that just a minute I
01:12:14 #787 haven't quite finished. I want you to go out into the hall and start the desk
01:12:19 #788 where Spotswood stood when he ordered his cab.
01:12:22 #789 Very well.
01:12:23 #790 Startled me, Mrs. Spotswood.
01:12:59 #791 But I'm all right now.
01:13:01 #792 Yes, quite sure.
01:13:08 #793 Run along home and come back in the morning.
01:13:12 #794 You understand now?
01:13:18 #795 This record was Spotswood's alibi.
01:13:22 #796 Undoubtedly the reason he returned here the next morning was to get it back.
01:13:26 #797 But he was prevented by the arrival of the officer who entered the apartment with him.
01:13:31 #798 The canary was dead and the screen issued from the apartment that night.
01:13:36 #799 She was dead when she apparently spoke to Spotswood through the door.
01:13:41 #800 But what flew led you to the photograph record?
01:13:44 #801 It was this magazine.
01:13:52 #802 At his hardly a magazine, the canary would have read.
01:13:57 #803 So I concluded that someone else must have brought it here.
01:14:00 #804 Then in running through the pages, I happened to notice this.
01:14:10 #805 But closely.
01:14:12 #806 You see it?
01:14:13 #807 Oh yes, the... the imps fit in a large circle.
01:14:16 #808 And on the opposite page?
01:14:18 #809 The same thing. Precisely.
01:14:21 #810 As if a disk had been pressed between the two pages.
01:14:25 #811 That brought to my mind the thought of a phonograph record.
01:14:29 #812 And suddenly the whole plot became clear to me.
01:14:33 #813 It was the only way that Spockwood could have committed the murder
01:14:37 #814 and have produced a voice in the apartment after the Canary's death.
01:14:41 #815 I can't understand how he could have reproduced the Canary's voice.
01:14:46 #816 It wasn't the Canary's voice, Markham.
01:14:48 #817 Spotchwood made that record himself.
01:14:51 #818 Probably it was his own voice in falsetto.
01:14:55 #819 And remember, it was only necessary to fool the house boy and for a closed door.
01:15:04 #820 Yes, I can see it all now.
01:15:07 #821 I can see it all out.
01:15:10 #822 He played the game, shrewdly and boldly.
01:15:15 #823 It was Jimmy's whole life's happiness that was at stake.
01:15:19 #824 Spotswood risked his own life for his boy.
01:15:33 #825 Goodbye, Mr. Vance.
01:15:35 #826 You'll never know how grateful we are.
01:15:39 #827 Goodbye, my dear.
01:15:41 #828 I wish you great happiness.
01:15:43 #829 Oh, thank you.
01:15:46 #830 Goodbye, Jimmy.
01:15:47 #831 Your happiness will come.
01:15:49 #832 Thank you, Mr. Vance.
01:15:53 #833 I can't stand anymore.
01:15:57 #834 Just now.
01:15:59 #835 Well, Mr. Vance?
01:16:12 #836 Well, Sergeant.
01:16:16 #837 I guess we put it over again.
01:16:18 #838 Right, you are, Sergeant.
01:16:23 #839 Many thanks.
01:16:24 #840 I'll be seeing you later.
01:16:28 #841 Goodbye.
01:16:29 #842 Goodbye, Sergeant.
