The Shadow: Murder By The Dead

Who knows the best of the planet. A man of mystery, he's got terror in the heart of justice, law-written, and murder. This time, we hope, by almost all the time of the war, you might have been actually intentional in your heart.

In America's final death, and in the head of our people, our home is comfortable and helpful in war, all the law. But he told me that this part of the book, asked for it by the way, asked what room goes.

The coldest is colored upon the blue at the bottom for law protection. The majority of the month, Cranston, a wealthy young man about town. Years ago, in the Orient, Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret.

The hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so they cannot see him. As Klatt's friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane is the only person who knows to whom the voice of the invisible shadow belongs.

Tonight's episode, murder by the dead. Quarkle, come to order, the Quarkle, come to order. A prisoner will stand. Be diswitched. You've been found guilty of willful and deliberate murder after a fair and impartial trial.

Have you anything to say before sentence is pronounced upon you? Yeah. I got something to say. Well, be brief. Oh, I'll be brief, all right. I think you're going to kill me what you think.

I'll get you. Yes, you're up on the bench there, and I'll get that district attorney too. And just for good luck, I'll get the foreman of that crooked jury that railroaded me. Do you understand?

Perfectly the threats against the district attorney in the foreman of the jury will I am sure go as unnoticed as your threat against myself It is first I hereby send it to be taken from here to the place from once you came and that there you be executed in the manner provided by the law

And may God have mercy on yourself You will hang me where you fool I'll get you all three and if I can't get you, I'll get you dead. I'll get you all of a sudden.

I'll get you back in America again. I'll go. I cabled you and I was coming at once. Just as soon as I got that frantic message from you. What's it all about? The month the district attorney's star wasn't murdered last week.

Yes, I know I saw it in the papers. I cabled you because I was afraid. One frame, you. What's the matter, spooks? Well, I'm trying to believe it, isn't it? Darling, your toffee nonsense. Oh, I only hope I am.

Lamont, it was District Attorney Stowe who propped you to that murder. Peter Swear six months ago. Yes, I remember the chapel threatened to come back and get Stowe and Judge Clive and the foreman of the jury.

You haven't forgotten who the foreman of the jury was, have you? Oh, my gosh. It was your foreman. It wasn't at Marlow. Your father is the third on the list to die. Now do you understand?

Oh, but my dear escrow looks surely golden tender suggested. I mean Peter Swift was hanging. All I know is that three men were threatened and one of them is dead. Go into this, of course.

No, perhaps. But I know you'll think I'm a fool, a monster. And I don't know how, but perhaps Peter Swift has come back. Come back. Peter Swift was executed, hanging his usually effective. But there is something, what you say, I'm wondering.

So we're asked to believe that Peter Swift has come back to the land of shades to kill three men. Three were threatened. One is dead. Murdered. The killer must be then a ghost, a shame.

Well, my dear, I suppose there's only one thing that can be opposed. a ghost, a shae. Well, my dear, I suppose there's only one thing that can be opposed to a shae. And daddy? A shadow.

My dear, Margo. A shadow. Will there be anything else? Judge Carr? No, no, no. That's all, Taylor. You might as well go to bed. I've got some work to do here in the library. They keep me up for quite a while.

Yes, sir. Good night, sir. Good evening. Sam, to open that window. Ask Commissioner. Judge Klein's murder was the last thing I...

Come on, Taylor. Commissioner Wesson wasn't taught to you. Oh, yes, sir. This is Taylor. Yes, sir. I want to check your story. You dole, Sergeant Riley. You left Judge Klein in his library about eleven and five.

Is that right, sir? I'm not the front door. And then I start to go up to this. I Was passing the life or a door I could Salations you see I let nobody is I was I was the prime outside the house of the window which you found Right, that's right. So I could make out with

Commissioner West Hahahaha Good night, my boy! It's the latter. I'm coming to the newsroom.

I suspect you couldn't get it, but you're still wearing it. I wonder. Just to get to the store and tell the child I've been loving. There's only just a lane left. I don't believe it goes.

No! What was that all about? I don't know. You don't know what a really exhumation of Peter's... You're planning him deep today, Commissioner. How you coming, boys?

That's it the coffins. I will have it out soon. Now snap it on get the roadside Charts, right? Alright boys close rope. Alright, hold on that broke shark. We don't want it slipping back on us. No She comes there Come here. That does it. She's open commission. Let me look where's the body while the waiting for the shadow

I want to pass on a bit of advice, in particular interest to all homeowners. If your anxious to cut down your doctor's bills this winter, to keep your family free from a lot of sniffles and coals, then by all means burn anthracite or hard cold, because anthracite is the helpful fuel.

If you have steady, even helpful heat, in contrast to the flashy kind of heat you get from the hard and off types of quick burning fuels. and friends, don't forget this point. Furnaces, cookstoves, and spaciers in this section of the country were especially designed to burn anthracite and to get America's finest anthracite

asked for blue coal. Blue coal burns long and evenly, but the furnace danthers practically closed. There's no waste up the chimney. It gives economical as well as helpful heat. Blue coal is mined by the Glen Alden coal company, coal company, the world's largest producers of Pennsylvania answer site.

It is laboratory tested at the mines for purity and for uniformity of size. If you have ever tried Blue Coal, place a trial order tomorrow. You'll find the name of your nearest Blue Coal dealer listed in the Where to Buy section of your classified telephone directory under the name Blue Coal.

No, no, no. Oh, no, no, no. No, no. Come in, Martha. No, no. I was right about peace, I was right. Yes, I know you were. I found off of another source. I'm derring your trembling.

What's the matter? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. All right, I just come from the prison now. I guess all that talked about bodies and executions is a nerd mealer. Oh, no. There's no fabric.

Sorry, I had to ask if you could do it, but the time was so short and I had to be somewhere else. Why understand? No, no. and told me just what happened on the beginning.

Well, I went to see the warden. I said I was a newspaper reporter, as you told me to, and asked him what happened to the bodies that executed men. Yes. Well, he told me if the relatives don't claim the body, it's turned over to the state medical college.

So I asked him about Peter Swift. Go on. The warden said that according to the record, Peter Swift's family called for his remains. However, he said as long as I was interested, he'd send for the guard at the South gate.

He'd know all about it. Pretty soon the dark came up from the wardens office. Come in. You want to see me in one? Come in, 12. This is Miss Lane. She's a newspaper reporter. Oh, please, to meet you, Miss.

She wants to ask you about the removal of bodies. Oh, I can tell you about every stick that's left here in the past 15 years. When is he? I just wanted to ask him. First of all, I ever saw him with a crime.

He was strung up for murder in his mother when it acts. Well, ma'am, when he comes for him, Just a minute, isn't it? There's one in particular, and this lane is interested in. Swift. Oh, Peter Swift, huh?

Right. Remember him? Oh, certainly. His family was supposed to comfort, but they didn't come after all. No. Ah, a crook and a crag came for the body in an old truck. He means a doctor, Miss Lane.

That's the rather unflattering prison term for a medical. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I reckon this girl could crag it, bought the body. Anyways, he took it away quick. He was in a great hurry too.

The stiff one didn't call yet. Do you know where this Dr. Craig came from? Sure, from the city. I got his address and he registered down at the gate. You want it? Yes, please. Thank you very much, love.

Dr. Naim Craig, am I good? Do you have his address? Yes, you do. Okay. I'm not Mr. Margot, I've got to go out now. Mr. Margot, I'm going with you. No, no, you're not. You're going home to be sure that your father doesn't leave the house until this thing is cleared up.

I don't think it'll be go long, but I don't bother to take chances on his safety. Where are you going? Shadow is going to pay a visit to a certain little doctor. The salvage. At last.

I've got it. Doctor. I'm pet. Who's that? Who spoke? Do you lie? I'm the only person in the room. Around the finder. Where is that place coming from? I can spray on this one else here.

I'm saying? Sing! I show you how. What do you want? Just a favor. How much? Twenty thousand dollars. Yes, a good price. Well, what's that got to do with me? My hand.

Twenty grand. Who is your friend? His name is Roodle. Well, what am I supposed to do about it? Perhaps. So, why come to me? I'm not a doctor. I'm not a doctor. You'll tell it! You can't shoot the shadow.

You don't mean it. Yes, I mean. I'm supposed to get in from the shop. You won't get it. The information is the only society to disrespect. Or to him back from the dead. You prefer the town?

I won't tell you. And the story's broken. I did it. I did it. I've proved I can do it. But it's my secret. I don't care if you are a shadow or a beast. You can't have my secret.

No one can have it. It's mine. You have to train your secret for mine. My secret of... I can teach it to you in a few minutes. Secret of invisibility. But I'm not interested in your secret.

Some psychological touch. What's the power of making oneself invisible compared to the secrets of making the dead? There! That's right. There is no comparison. Where do you learn that secret? I won't tell you. I won't tell you.

It's mine. How long would it be? As long as I want it to be. Whatever the tarolet charity has only I know the secrets and I shall never reveal it. No. They call me a mad man.

They shouldn't have put me in an idiot. They should have put me in an idiot. They should have put me in an idiot. They should have put me in an idiot. They should have put me in an idiot.

They called me a mad man. They said nothing to put me in the institution. You are mad, right? No, no, no. I am a genius. No, no. That doesn't mean it might happen one time in a day and one time in a tree.

If it's no coincidence, I tell you, it was my genius. And I shall hold my secrets. I shall continue to make a dead limb. You are making big ass, swift limb, as cause to one of them to die.

To die in the hands of Peter Swift. And about increases up to me. I have nothing to say than that. I have to do the fact of the third man. Me and I, a man named Ross Lane.

What do I care about Ross Lane alive or dead? It is nothing for me. Will you bring Ross Lane back to life? Oh, I could. I could. I can bring anyone back from the dead.

I tell you, I have found a secret of life over death. I can prove it. Prove it again and again. I can prove it on myself. I can die and bring myself back to leg.

You are my drag. Who am I? Am I my drag? I'm only pretty Mike. I've got all the table. I'm not afraid of you, even though I can't see you. You see? That's right. And I will prove to you, but I guess that I am not mad.

I am a genius. I have found the secret that you think you'll bring yourself back to life. Jesus.

You Jenkins? Good. I'll be right up. But Mr. Lane said, Miss Margot, that speaks instructions that you would do not to the one with the house? Oh, she did. Well, when she comes back, you tell her I went out.

I'm not going to be ordered around my, my own daughter as if I were a child of three. Ridiculous. I can take care of myself. Well, open the car, Jenkins. But Mr. Lane, the danger in my eye.

A shadow. Ladies and gentlemen, the poor today is thrilling episode and the life of the shadow comes to a close. We have an announcement that I'm sure will be of interest to everybody. Beginning today, Mr. John Barclay, our blue-cold heating expert will give a series of practical talks the subject of all the back and heat it. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bonk.

Good evening, friends. Today, more than ever before, we realize the need for absolutely uniform heat in order to enjoy really helpful living conditions. However, many people are under the impression that it is necessary to spend a few sums of money and install elaborate equipment in order to have this uniformy. In other years, that was true. But

Today you can have you before me 24 hours a day was little less $18.95. That's the price of the blue-cold automatic heat regulator. Is this a simple device which could be installed on any time?

Oh yes, it works equally well. Hot air, hot water, steam or vapor, heating plants, even on space heaters. Which you'll probably know of as the power stones. Not only is the blue-cold heat regulator so inexpensive that anyone can afford one, but its operation is simplicity itself.

It consists of a thermostat located right upstairs, where it's always handy, or you can have it in your living room, your dining room, your kitchen, anywhere at all. This thermostat is then installed to a silent, connected to a silent, motor located in the basement near the furnace.

Is it easy to install? Why, yeah. There's the installation of the blue cold heat regulator. It's such a simple matter that it requires but an hour or two. In fact, you don't even have to let the fire and your furnace go out.

And the charge for installation is very low, averaging around $5. Why not drop in to see your nearest blue cold either? And let him tell you more about this remarkable new heat regulator. You'll find he's the outstanding Heating Authority in your community, and take advantage of his John Bartley Train Serviceman, who is qualified to give you expert counsel on any

Heating Problem at No Charge Whatever. I thank you. You have just heard his copyrighted by the Shadow magazine. Any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincident. The heat of crime bears bitter fruit.
