Transcript

It's time now for Mr. Keene, Tracer of Lost Persons, presenting Mr. Keene, Tracer of Lost Persons, in our new Mr. Keene series in which the kindly old investigator brings to us his most celebrated cases on Mondays through Fridays at this same time.

Tonight, the shrieking prisoner murder case. Mr. Keene, the famous investigator and his partner Mike Clancy, are looking into the strange murder of young Donald Travers, who was shot to death in the lonely house owned by his wife's two eccentric aunts, Martha and Amy Carson. Both Carson sisters are suspects in the case, for Amy is shriekingly insane, and Martha was determined that no one should

find out about it. A third suspect is George Wheeler, whose engagement to Amy Carson was broken because of the victim's interference. But now Mr. Keene and Mike have gone to investigate still another suspect, a handyman named Luther Prague. Meanwhile, in the Carson House, Martha tries to calm her insane sister Amy. And inside the room in the attic, which has been

Amy Carson's prison, we hear. Amy! You must be quiet. You know you can trust me, your own sister. Trust you, Martha. When you keep me locked up here like a prisoner, it's for your own good.

I swore no one would take you to an insane asylum, and I'm keeping that promise. Who were those strange men who were here? was Mr. Key, the famous investigator and his partner, Mr. Clancy. Investigator?

Yes. They're trying to find out who murdered our nephew, Donald Travers, here in our house last night. Oh. George Wheeler has taken them to Luther Prague Shack. They think Luther are handyman, murdered Donald Travers.
