Charles Lawton! Suspense as

0:15

presented for your enjoyment

0:17

by Roma wines. That's

0:19

R-O-M-A, Roma wines. Those

0:22

excellent California wines that

0:24

can add so much

0:26

pleasantness to the way

0:29

you live. To your

0:31

happiness and entertaining guests.

0:33

To your enjoyment of everyday

0:36

meals. Yes, right now a

0:38

glass bowl would be very

0:41

pleasant as Roma

0:43

wines bring you Suspense

0:45

This is the man in

0:47

black here for the Roma

0:49

wine company of Fresno, California

0:52

to introduce this weekly half

0:54

hour of suspense Tonight from

0:57

Hollywood Roma wines bring you

0:59

a star Mr. Charles Lawton

1:01

And so if Dorothy L.

1:04

Sayers intriguing story of the

1:06

man who knew how, and

1:09

with the performance of Charles

1:11

Lawton as Mr. Pender, a

1:14

law-abiding citizen of suburban London,

1:16

we again hope to keep

1:18

you in suspense! see

1:43

salmon. Matter of fact, night

1:45

journeys are always a bit

1:47

tedious, don't you think? Well,

1:49

I suppose that depends upon

1:51

one's destination. Would you like

1:53

a book to read? I have a

1:55

copy of Hangman's holiday here. I

1:57

found it. Thank you very much.

1:59

I never read detective stories. They're

2:02

so inadequate, don't you think so?

2:04

Most of them are, rather, lacking

2:06

in characterization and human interest, but

2:08

on a railway journey. I wasn't

2:10

speaking of the characters so much.

2:12

I meant the crime bungled, you

2:14

know. Oh, but I always have

2:16

been a dreadful murderer, the so

2:18

incompetent they bore me. I think

2:20

you're quite wrong. The criminals in

2:23

books are usually a good deal

2:25

more imaginative and ingenious and murderers

2:27

and murderers in real life. Yes.

2:29

Even some of those did pretty

2:31

well before they got pretty well

2:33

before they got pinched, before they

2:35

got pinched. Crippen, for instance. Do

2:37

you remember Dr. Crippen? Oh yes,

2:39

of course. Crippen, he'd never have

2:41

been caught if he hadn't lost

2:43

his head and run after America.

2:46

Well, it's the point, you see,

2:48

he did lose his head. He

2:50

bungled the whole business. It could

2:52

be so simple. Just for argument.

2:54

If you were going to commit

2:56

a murder, what weapon or means

2:58

would you to... Me? Well, let's

3:00

see, I... I've never given very

3:02

much thought to it actually. I

3:04

know. Yes. I should use a

3:06

sandbag. A sandman. Yes. Worked very

3:09

successfully in two stories I've read

3:11

recently. A sandbag. Yes. No, pardon

3:13

me. I didn't mean to be

3:15

rude. But the clumsiness of it

3:17

all. The elaboration, the lights, the

3:19

paraphernalia, the alibi. Absolutely. Oh, no.

3:21

Come, you can't expect committing a

3:23

murder and getting away with it

3:25

to be as simple as shelling

3:27

peas. Oh, you think that it

3:30

is? For your mistaken, it can

3:32

be quite simple. Oh, but if

3:34

it's so easy, how would you

3:36

set about committing a murder? I?

3:38

Oh, that's different. I shouldn't have

3:40

to think twice about it. You

3:42

see, I know how. Hmm? Oh,

3:44

you, uh, haven't tried, have you?

3:46

Oh, my dear fellow, but it

3:48

is in the case of trying.

3:50

There's nothing tentative about my method.

3:53

What, uh, what is this? What

3:55

is this? wonderful method. Well you

3:57

don't expect me to tell you

3:59

do you? I'd never

4:01

think of murdering anybody. Oh yes

4:03

you would have you really believed

4:05

it was safe. We've all of

4:07

us got a nice little murder

4:09

locked up inside just waiting for

4:12

a chance to come out. Well

4:14

then, why are all these tremendous

4:16

artificial barriers built up around murder

4:18

but the church and by the

4:20

law? Because it's everybody's crime, that's

4:22

why. It's natural as breathing. That's

4:24

ridiculous, that's ridiculous. Yes, that's what

4:26

most people would say, but I

4:29

wouldn't trust them. Not with sulfate

4:31

of than a tail to be

4:33

bought for tuppence at any chemists.

4:35

Sulfate of... What? Oh, you think

4:37

I'm giving something away? Well, I'm

4:39

not. It's a mixture of that

4:41

and one or two other things,

4:44

you see. All equally ordinary and

4:46

cheap. Ninetence you could make up

4:48

enough to poison the entire cabinet.

4:50

Of course it wouldn't do to

4:52

polish them all out, so many

4:54

of the time. I do queer

4:56

of the old I simultaneously in

4:59

the bath. Well, that's the way

5:01

it would take them. It's not

5:03

the mixture alone that does the

5:05

trick. You see, it needs hot

5:07

water to make the stuff take

5:09

effect. Just a hot bath, any

5:11

time from a few hours or

5:14

a few days after administration, it's

5:16

quite a simple chemical reaction. Couldn't

5:18

possibly be detected by analysis. It

5:20

would look just like cart things.

5:22

Have you ever heard of such

5:24

a thing? You know, it's very

5:26

odd how often one seems to

5:29

read of people being found dead

5:31

in the bathtub. Have you noticed?

5:33

No, no. Well, look at it.

5:35

If nobody is fit to be

5:37

trusted with this potent formula. I'm

5:39

not to be trusted either. Exactly.

5:41

Well, that's true, but it's part

5:43

praying for now. I know the

5:46

thing, and I can't, I know

5:48

it. Unfortunately, it's best, but there

5:50

it is. Are we slowing down?

5:52

Yes, this is rugby. Rugby already,

5:54

and dear me, I've got to

5:56

get out here. I have a

5:58

little business to do it, Rugby

6:01

rugby. I'm very indebted to you,

6:03

sir. I've been quite entertaining. with

6:05

your secret formula. Excuse me. What

6:07

did you say was the name

6:09

of that stuff? Southside of what

6:11

was there. Oh, now look here.

6:13

If I were you, I just

6:16

put it out of my head

6:18

and forget it. Now there's a

6:20

good fellow. Forget it. Forget it.

6:29

Tonight for suspense. Roma wines

6:31

bring you a star, Mr.

6:33

Charles Lawton, whom you've heard

6:36

in the prologue to tonight's

6:38

study in suspense. Far to

6:40

the south of us is

6:42

our good neighbor country Ecuador.

6:45

Let's imagine ourselves there now.

6:47

dining on the roof terrace

6:49

cafe of the exclusive hotel

6:51

metropolitano in Guacque Ecuador. Near

6:53

us an American has just

6:56

complimented his host on the

6:58

magnificent dinner to which his

7:00

host quickly responds Ah yes

7:02

it is true that our

7:05

foods are famous but from

7:07

your land comes a rare

7:09

delicacy also it is the

7:11

superb wine so excellent that

7:13

we and Ecuador import it

7:16

from your United States. My

7:18

friend I drink to you

7:20

in your own delicious Roma

7:22

wine. Our Ecuadorian friend is

7:24

right, for Roma wine superb

7:27

quality has won such favor

7:29

in many far places that

7:31

they import it, enjoy it

7:33

as a rare luxury. But

7:36

not so here in America.

7:38

Here millions know and enjoy

7:40

Roma wines as an inexpensive

7:42

everyday delight. At meal times

7:44

and when entertaining. So many

7:47

in fact, that Roma is

7:49

America's largest selling wine. with

7:51

no high import duties to

7:53

pay nor expensive shipping costs.

7:55

You enjoy these distinguished wines

7:58

for only pennies a glass.

8:00

Ask for Roma wines. which

8:02

bring you old world wine

8:04

making skill plus Roma's own

8:07

modern controls and testing that's

8:09

R-O-M-A Roma wines America's largest

8:11

selling wine made in California

8:13

for enjoyment throughout the world

8:15

and now it is with

8:18

pleasure that we bring back

8:20

to our soundstage Charles Lawton

8:22

in the man who knew

8:24

how a tale well calculated

8:26

to keep you in Suspense!

8:29

Good morning, sir. Good morning,

8:31

sir. Morning, Charles. I've been

8:33

egg for your breakfast, sir.

8:35

Oh, thank you. They're quite

8:38

scarce now, do you know?

8:40

Yes, I know. You have

8:42

your tea now, sir. Yes,

8:44

please. Anything in the post?

8:46

Oh, really, a note from

8:49

your tailor, sir. He'd be

8:51

pleased to have you come

8:53

in for a fitting at

8:55

one on Tuesday night. Oh,

8:57

very well. Charles, what's the,

9:00

uh, back stairs gossip in

9:02

the neighbourhood? Nothing, much, sir.

9:04

Mr. Skimmings, the old gentleman

9:06

in number 11, had a

9:09

falling out with his nephew

9:11

and has drawn up a

9:13

new will, they say. Oh,

9:15

dear me. He's left everything

9:17

to his new housekeeper, Mrs.

9:20

Mrs. Digby. Well, she's been

9:22

within nearly 20 years. It

9:24

reminds of me, Charles. I

9:26

should draw up my will

9:29

one of these days, you

9:31

know. And Charles, I shan't

9:33

forget you. You've been more

9:35

than loyal. Well, thank you,

9:37

sir. Charles, yes, Charles. Has

9:40

it ever occurred to you

9:42

that an unusually large number

9:44

of people die in bath

9:46

tubs? In a bath, yes,

9:48

sir. You know, they seem

9:51

like a heart attack while

9:53

in their bath and never

9:55

come out of it. It's

9:57

a common occurrence idea, sir.

10:00

There was one in the

10:02

paper like that. Yes sir,

10:04

right on the front page

10:06

it was. That's how I

10:08

happened to notice. Here, it's

10:11

this a council. You see,

10:13

Wealthy Manufacture dies in Bath.

10:15

Mr. Brittlesy was, sir, one

10:17

of the Britlesies engineering works

10:19

at Rugby. Rugby? You know

10:22

him, sir? No. I believe

10:24

the paper says his wife

10:26

found the poor man. Half

10:28

failure. Very peculiar coincidence.

10:31

What? I was just thinking

10:33

that I met a man

10:35

on the train down from

10:37

Carlisle last night. He got

10:39

up at Rugby. He said

10:41

he had a bit of

10:43

business there. I wonder what

10:45

his business is. Charles

11:01

Charles Charles inside

11:39

Mrs. Dickey. Now, what precisely

11:41

seems to be the trouble,

11:43

Mrs. Dickey? Well, I thought

11:45

he was a long time

11:48

in the bathroom, but I

11:50

never dreamed. Is Mr. Skimming's

11:52

been taken ill? Is that

11:54

what happened? Oh, worse than

11:56

that, sir. Oh, blue, he

11:58

is... but you know

12:01

a gentleman in his bath

12:03

how it is sir yes

12:05

i must have always been

12:07

afraid something that this thought

12:09

would happen the old gentleman

12:12

would take his bath so

12:14

very odd well he's probably

12:16

had a slight stroke i

12:18

don't you think i mean

12:20

i guess the doctor will

12:22

be able to bring him

12:24

round not likely to from

12:26

the look of him he's

12:28

been dead for some time

12:30

sir Stand back, please. Relatives

12:33

will not be admitted until

12:35

the coroner has completed his

12:37

examination of the body. Would

12:39

you have a look at

12:41

this card, please, Officer? Who

12:43

did you want to see

12:45

in this? Mrs. Digby. You'll

12:47

find her in the library, give

12:49

investment, you know. Yes, sir. Who

12:52

was that man who went into

12:54

Mr. Skimming's house? Search me, sir.

12:56

Why did you get him in?

12:59

You may persuade me like. Officer,

13:01

you realize what you may have

13:03

done. Of course, I have no

13:05

right to say it. But that

13:08

man may have gone in there

13:10

to destroy evidence. Evidence? What evidence?

13:12

How I get it. You're one

13:15

of them their sensation seekers. Where

13:17

you're barking at the wrong cream,

13:19

you know. This ain't no murder

13:21

case. The bloat I laugh. Yes.

13:23

I know. While taking a hot

13:25

bath where the gas every day

13:27

five or six cases right around

13:29

his neighbor in the past month

13:31

alone I've been keeping track of

13:33

them did you know that in

13:35

every single one of these cases

13:37

the persons who died that quite

13:39

a lot of money I shouldn't

13:41

be surprised sir this is the

13:43

royalty neighbor that's my number mrs

13:45

digby get me informed any unusual

13:47

development I will that sir that's

13:49

the man all right What name's

13:51

that? Well, well, well, hello.

13:54

We meet again. Yes.

13:56

I rather imagined we

13:59

would. Did you know the

14:01

old gentleman, Mr. Skimming, only

14:03

to speak to in the

14:05

street? Oh, then you live

14:08

near here. Yes, a fourth

14:10

house down. I'm just going

14:12

back. Mind if I walk

14:14

along? No, no, course not.

14:16

Ah, uh, are meeting again

14:18

like this, isn't it? Most

14:20

peculiar. Do you live in

14:22

these parts, too? I, oh,

14:24

no. I was only here

14:27

on, uh, little matter of

14:29

business. Last time we met

14:31

you had business at rugby.

14:33

Yes, so I had for

14:35

my business takes me all

14:37

over the country. I never

14:39

know where I maybe wanted

14:41

an egg. So why do

14:44

you want to drug with

14:46

it? Old Brittlesey was found

14:48

dead in his bath, wasn't

14:50

it? Oh, yes. Funny thing,

14:52

Corwin. They told him manager's

14:54

wife, I believe. She's a

14:56

rich woman now. Good-looking girl,

14:58

that younger than he was.

15:00

This is my gate. Oh,

15:03

already. Will you, uh... Will

15:05

you come in and have

15:07

a drink? Why yes, thanks,

15:09

I shall like you very

15:11

much. I trust your wife

15:13

would object to this intrusion.

15:15

I have no wife. Oh,

15:17

bachelor's quarter, huh? Yes. I

15:19

do myself quite well, under

15:22

the circumstances. Oh, I say,

15:24

you're right. This is capital.

15:26

Could I have your hat?

15:28

Oh, thank you. I think

15:30

my man has gone off

15:32

to bed, but I dare

15:34

say we can manage, well,

15:36

this way, please. Well, that

15:38

fire looks good. Do you

15:41

take soda? Yes, please. It's

15:43

remarkable how many people have

15:45

been found dead in their

15:47

bags lately, isn't it? You

15:49

think it's remarkable? I don't

15:51

know, perhaps it is. I

15:53

suppose I've been taking more

15:55

notice on account of that

15:57

conversation we had on the

16:00

train. Oh, it's a curious

16:02

thing, how... uh... when once

16:04

your attention is attracted to

16:06

any particular set of circumstances

16:08

that that set of circumstances

16:10

seems to haunt you. Let's

16:12

say you get appendicitis. Immediately

16:14

the newspapers are filled with

16:16

paragraphs about people who have

16:19

died of or recovering from

16:21

appendicitis. True, true. You see,

16:23

you see it mentioned in

16:25

all the magazines, you have

16:27

discovered that many of your

16:29

friends and acquaintances have had

16:31

appendicitis. The thing seems rather

16:33

too well-possue you. Yes, that's

16:36

exactly how it is. And

16:38

all these baths, all was

16:40

the same. Just due to

16:42

heart failure following immersion in

16:44

too hot water. It just

16:46

makes me wonder how one

16:48

does. Whether anybody else had

16:50

happened to hit on that

16:52

drug you mentioned. What was

16:55

the name of it now?

16:57

Oh, I shouldn't think so.

16:59

I'm the only person who

17:01

knows about that. Do you

17:03

chemists? I'm a bit of

17:05

everything. Sort of a general

17:07

utility. I do a good

17:09

bit of studying on my

17:11

own. Yeah, I see you've

17:14

got some very interesting books

17:16

here. Yes, I collect modern

17:18

first edition. May I see

17:20

that green volume there, please?

17:22

Oh, certainly. I'll take it

17:24

down. The Henry James. Quite

17:26

a bargain, really. Here we

17:28

are. Thank you. Oh, yes,

17:30

an interesting hobby. E. Pender?

17:33

Is that your name? Pender?

17:35

You have the advantage of

17:37

me now, sir. Oh, I'm

17:39

one of the great Smith's

17:41

class and work for my

17:43

brain. Here's your drink. You're

17:45

retired, I suppose. Oh, thank

17:47

you. Yes, only recently. I

17:49

was in a bank until

17:52

I came into this bit

17:54

of money. Well, you're one

17:56

of the lucky ones, not

17:58

married, comfortably fixed. And I

18:00

dare say, you won't be

18:02

needing any sulfate of that,

18:04

well? Any useful drugs, any

18:06

useful drugs in the near

18:08

future. I shan't be coming

18:11

to you for assistance yet

18:13

a while. Besides, how should

18:15

I find you if I

18:17

wanted you? Oh, you wouldn't

18:19

need to find me. I

18:21

should find you. Never any

18:23

difficulty about that. Well, I'd

18:25

best be getting on. No,

18:27

no, don't get up. I'll

18:30

find my head. Thank you

18:32

for your hospitality. I don't

18:34

expect we should meet again,

18:36

but we may, of course.

18:38

Things work out so clearly

18:40

sometimes. Yes, yes, they do,

18:42

don't they? Good night, Mr.

18:44

Smith. Good night. I thought

18:47

you'd got a beer. I

18:49

heard voices, and thought you

18:51

might be wanting something. Oh,

18:53

that was just an acquaintance,

18:55

stopped him for a drink.

18:57

He's gone. Shall I take

18:59

the glasses? Yes, thank you.

19:01

Do you wish to finish

19:03

your old, sir? Mr. Pender.

19:06

What? Your drinks, sir. Do

19:08

you wish to finish it?

19:10

Oh, yes, of course. Thought

19:12

I had. There are your

19:14

bath when you're ready for

19:16

it, sir. Oh, there's no

19:18

hurry. Tell me, Charles. Did

19:20

you ever notice a tall

19:22

chap with very thick spectacles

19:25

and curly gray hair calling

19:27

on Mrs. Digby? Why, uh,

19:29

yes, come to think of

19:31

it, I have, sir. But

19:33

then he always seems to

19:35

be about whenever there's a

19:37

death in the neighbourhood. Lately,

19:39

that is. Did you ever

19:41

talk with him, Charles? Why,

19:44

uh, why not to mention

19:46

it, sir? You did talk

19:48

to him, Charles. Why you

19:50

shall upset? Well, sir, it

19:52

was about Mrs. Mr. Skine's

19:54

changing his will in favour

19:56

and favourite The grey-haired gentleman,

19:58

Smith, I believe his name

20:00

is, asked whether you hadn't

20:03

changed your will lately. Did

20:05

you tell him I'd left

20:07

everything to you? Not in

20:09

so many words, sir. But

20:11

you gave it away. Ah,

20:13

ah. So that's his game.

20:15

Oh, good lord in heaven,

20:17

what is it, sir? That

20:19

drink. He poured it. Well,

20:22

I was getting a book

20:24

down from the case. What

20:26

is it, sir? Charles. Under

20:28

no circumstances am I to

20:30

have a hot bath? for

20:32

at least two weeks. Do

20:34

you understand? No hot baths!

20:36

Very well, sir. Charles, in

20:39

the paper, has anyone else

20:41

died in his bath? Why,

20:43

has it happened? Yes, sir.

20:45

I heard it is, sir.

20:47

The inquest would be held

20:49

tomorrow, at three. The inquest?

20:51

Ah, the inquest. Yes, Charles.

20:55

is. I shall be at

21:02

not expecting you home for

21:04

a bit, sir. You didn't

21:06

stay long at the inquest.

21:08

I wasn't interested in the

21:10

inquest, Charles. I went to

21:12

the inquest only to see

21:14

if a certain man would

21:17

be there, and he was

21:19

there, Charles. He was there,

21:21

as I expected. Yes, sir.

21:23

21:25

21:27

rough district, close to the river.

25:36

Somebody crept up on him and

25:39

gave him such a blow and

25:41

broke his neck. Good law. The
