He rose from his chair in anger Saying he would give me three days to help him find the find the Bibles No Not the Bibles, but I would help him find the walls of Jericho or else I would regret it Did you say the walls of Jericho the past two nights?

He was quite dead That's the way I found him. I came in to give him his cup of warm milk, and that's the way I found him Who are you?

Circle hodakus for 230 it is now close to three I have read the entire contents of Time Life Esquire Captain Billy's whiz bang. Oh Mr.. Darcy yes, waiting long. I'm terribly sorry come in Sit down. Thank you Now mr. Darcy, I should be brief to the point. I'm an attorney I have a client named Ernst Helms. He visited your office this morning. How do you know that? He told me so I managed his affairs He also told me he gave you $1,800. I simply want you to tell me why he gave you that money Why don't you ask mr. Helms that question very well Blanton to the point? My client has paid out large sums of money to swindlers as trying to locate certain books It is my duty to see that he is now protected. Well, mr. Helms paid me that money for a book which I gave him What kind of a book a Bible? You gave to mr. Helms a Bible. Yeah Good Lord a Bible for eight hundred dollars And I suppose Helms knew what he was doing. I'm going to wash my hands of him out of these days You're telling the truth mr. Darcy you really gave him this Bible. I'm a liar if I didn't So I was a liar but that was the best I could do on short notice I had no wish to become involved in attire some litigation and one perhaps which might draw the attention of the police to me I left mr. Hodeca's office as quickly as possible Raised home, and it was with some anticipation that I learned from the dormant that Catherine Wall should arrive and was now in my apartment I'm ready in Darcy in time for tea. Well, well captain Griffin detective Lucas And if my memory does not fail me and unfortunately it does not Detective Regan are you gentlemen waiting for a fourth for bridge? We've got our fourth in the other room Darcy. I took three small reluctant steps into the darkened room It was lying on the floor on the other side of my bed near the small table on which my telephone stood The frail body of Catherine Walsh. Well Darcy a Griffin I find this very embarrassing Yeah, I'll just tell you feel but right now Darcy you must make an effort to tell me the whole story And believe me my friend it better be good My story you remember captain Griffin was good In fact, it was so good that after two hours of torture was questioning You agreed to release me on my promise that by evening I would come to you with the full meaning of the bibles and the walls of Jericho Straightening my tie and looking jaunty and attractive as usual. I awaited the arrival of the lovely one Well, here I am Look Darcy, I'm frightened. Stop acting like Jane Eyre. Please don't be harsh with me now Well, they weren't very gentle with father Walsh and his sister Darcy, I'm so frightened. The manager of my hotel told me that he got a phone call from Ernst Helms asking him to put his trunk And luggage in the storeroom. He's gone away, and I don't know what to do. Try telling me the truth Yes I'm sorry. I started the whole thing His letter said that be blood and murder. He was right. Whose letter? Elias parents. You mean the Elias parents of the artist? Yes He was my grandfather. I started to write a biography of Elias parents to show the world how he was forced to suffer and live in poverty What the greatest and most celebrated painter of our time went through to well During my research, I found the scrap of letter. You read it Live only to finish my greatest work my only mural There will come the day when men will again shed blood for the Walls of Jericho as did Joshua and his hosts But only in my Bibles will be found the key He who reads each word of God will uncover the sweeping vision of the walls of Jericho On the wall of my hovel Glory be to God and cursed be all men Well that mural is priceless, but no one knows where my grandfather lived or died He'd run away from a hostile world. I retained Ernst Helmton Art dealer to help me in my search And Elias parents was the poor unknown vagrant that father wash took care of and buried. Yes We traced the Bibles to father wash, but oh Darcy I'm so frightened. I can't find help. Oh, you don't have to bother to look for him The police will do that for you. What do you mean? He has one of the Bibles Then why doesn't he come to me because that mural is Well, it's fine just keepers in a case like this But Helms is now a fugitive wanted for murder. Oh, and the other Bible is undoubtedly nowhere on this earth That's what poor Catherine Walsh was trying to tell me, but we know that Elias Barron's left two Bibles to Father Walsh. Yeah Wait a minute Wait a minute Father Walsh, of course. I'm a dope. I remember a warm and lovable little thing He used to do that the whole neighborhood knew about when I was a kid He always used to bury a Bible with the souls he buried So one Bible he kept which is now in the possession of the killer of Catherine Walsh and the other Bible He blessed and buried with a dead man, but that means it precisely We don't know where and where under what name Barron's died or where he's been buried Joshua give me that Give me that Let's see J.J. Jar Jar Joshua Joshua the son of nun Joshua nun What? How do you spell it? Oh and you in? Oh pray that my womanly intuition is not playing me false come along Where? To see if there isn't a Joshua nun buried in Father Walsh's churchyard Well Darcy we shouldn't be doing that. Why not? The cross says Joshua nun And if I'm wrong this time it won't be wasted effort I'll simply crawl into the grave myself and pull it in after me Here I struck it. Give me that crowbar quickly quickly Oh dear, dear The Bible we found All right Darcy, stand where you are Well Griffin I've uh I found that other Bible You found ten years on the pen for body snatching Well Captain Griffin this time as you must remember my story was even better You agreed that now with one Bible in our possession we might succeed in smoking out the killer who had the other Bible The entire story of Elias Barron's and his walls of Jericho broke into the press and a veritable epidemic of wall scraping struck the city It was on the fifth day that a phone call from Serco Hodecas asked me to see him at once on a matter of great importance Yes Mr Darcy Helms called me twice. I tried to trace the calls but it was impossible All he would say is that he didn't kill anybody but that he had the other Bible How'd he get it? He wouldn't explain. He said he's sending it to me so that you could find the mural But the condition is that as his attorney I protect his interest in the sale of the mural He has the right to that even though he is a fugitive. Do you agree? I agree Good. Here is the Bible which came in this morning's mail The Bible he gave me was very old. On its covers were the initials E.B. I turn to the book of Joshua. On the fourth paragraph of the sixth chapter two words have been underscored Seven rams. What's marked in the other one? The one you have And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams horn And it shall come to pass And the word seven priests are underscored Seven rams and seven priests Not much to go on is there enough? The word priests tell us where the Bibles would be found Now we're left with two sevens and the word rams Where would you expect an artist to spend his last declining days? Right, Greenwich Village. And there you will find in Father Walsh's parish a street named Ram Street And I'm sure that at 77 Ram Street you will find the walls of Jericho by Elias Barrens Patricia, my sweet, swoop up your trumpet. The walls are about to come tumbling down Yeah, this is where the crazy old coat used to live. Joshua, he calls Not quite the Savoy, is it? And this is where a great artist was forced to... Well, let's get on with it then. You'll almost be hidden under the paint of one of these walls The day is Mr. Klinger here. We'll find it What's that? Oh, don't let that frighten you, miss. It goes on day and night. Building a subway right under it It doesn't feel very safe. Perhaps you better start your examination, Mr. Klinger Yes, I start making my test now For the next three hours, Mr. Klinger, the expert, worked without pause Taking specimens of almost every square foot of wall space Examining his findings for oil tones under his microscope Finally, bending low over a sample I think I don't know. Looks like flesh tone, oil, maybe just another layer of paint I must take four or five more specimens of that same layer And how will you know? If I get different tones in the same layer, then I'll say the mural is there Second specimen, a sky blue tone Third specimen, an earth color Fourth, bright fuchsia And fifth? Yes! Fifth is a vivid, beautiful gold My friends, on that wall, under that grimy paint you see Is the last great work of Elias Barrens, the Wars of Jericho Yes, Mr. Hodeke, it's a fortune But before we can announce our discovery, we have a serious problem to solve The finding of the mural means that we secured the second Bible which led us to it And we could have secured that only from your client Ernst Helms who was wanted for murder I don't understand Well, it's very simple. We will be charged with working in concert with a murderer Unless we apprehend him and turn him over to the police Yes, but I don't see how we... Well, I have a plan. Patricia, you will leave it once for Chicago Hodeke says that is where Helms called from You will take all of the Helms' luggage, which is now in the storeroom of the Hotel Bolton Including his large trunk See here, why must she take the... Because I feel very strongly that Helms will suddenly appear if we move that trunk Hey, I think we better get out of here Yeah, let's go No, no, we don't... Josh, he's got a gun Oh, you know? Yes Well... I knew when I learned from my secretary that she told you when you called me That Catherine Walsh was coming to my apartment with a book And you kept me waiting in your office while you went there And killed her for the Bible you finally turned over to me And you decided to force my hand, find the mural Precisely, Mr. Hodeke And when you made it necessary for me to lie to you about giving the Bible to Helms I unwittingly signed his death warrant You knew that Helms was an honest man working for Patricia And you intended all along to secure that mural for yourself And so, when Helms couldn't turn over the Bible to you When you demanded it from him You were forced to murder him And his body is now stuffed into his trunk in the storeroom of the hotel So you've got it all figured out Well, figure this one out Don't be a ghost! My dear Captain Griffin Was how it came about that the walls came tumbling down Right over Mr. Hodeke's embarrassed ears It is too bad he did not live long enough to confess to the murder of Father Walsh But it's obvious that he killed him to prevent him from giving the Bible in his possession to Patricia Well, my dear, I think that should take care of Griffin's curiosity And shall I sign the letter simply, Darcy? No, no, sign it Darcy O'Donnell From now on, my pet, I'll be forced to use my last name Since you are going to share it with me And so closes the walls came tumbling down Starring Keenan Winn to Knight's Tale of Suspense Suspense is produced and directed by William Spear Have you discovered, as thousands have, how much Roma wines add to the enjoyment of your meals How their superb flavor makes special occasion feasts out of everyday meals Find out for yourself what a marvel worker Roma wine can be In giving any meal new appetizing savouriness New compliment rousing zest Start off the meal with an appetizer Roma California sherry Then place on the table a well-chilled bottle of Roma California table wine Delicate sautern, hearty burgundy, or tart, tasty claret You'll be amazed at the tremendous difference Roma wine makes in the enjoyment of your foods Don't overlook this easy and expensive way to add thrilling extra enjoyment to the coming holiday And to everyday living Remember Roma wines cost only pennies a glass Take a tip from the millions who enjoy Roma wines at meals when entertaining Ask for R-O-M-A Roma wines, America's largest selling wines Made in California for enjoyment throughout the world This is Keenan Winn I don't know of an actor in Hollywood who doesn't feel flattered and honored When he's invited to make an appearance on Suspense And I'm certainly no exception Next week sounds like a particularly outstanding one because your star will be Paul Muney In a suspense play by one of radio's outstanding authors, Lucille Fletcher And of course long before next week has arrived You will have bought that extra war bond, won't you?
