Transcript

Whitehall 1212. For the first time in history, Scotland Yard opens its official files to bring you the authentic true stories of some of its most baffling cases.

These are the truths being changed. The stories are presented with a full cooperation of Scotland Yard. Research on Whitehall 1212 is prepared by Percy Hoskins, Chief Crime Reporter of the London Daily Express. The stories for radio are written and directed by Willis Cooper.

Here to brief you on Scotland Yard file number 1098002 is Chief Superintendent John Davidson. Here on the Black Museum of Scotland Yard we have only one memento of case number 1098002, but it is a notable one.

This is a bottle, a last only potliful now, of one of the finest unblended pots still watch whisky that mortal man has ever tasted. I say its name with the proper respect. Its labels says, do Glen live it? Only three or four drinks remain in it. But I expect that we drop his quite safe. A, the bottle is sealed, and B, I doubt that there exists any English

man who would care to drink after the man who lost owned it. No, it's not poison in the conventional sense. But this, too, of then, live it, help to poison a man's mind. It's a shame, it's such an excellent product, should even once be put to such an end by such people as those who gave it to the man who lost owned it. Don't you agree, Commander Leonard?

I find myself speechless at such sacrilege, John. Oh, this is Commander Leonard, head of the famous special branch of this CID at Scotland Yard. I may say that the late owner of the bottle was a greater criminal than appears on his record.
