You know, if you were to stop five cars on the road today, you'd find full being gradually cheated pieces from the inside and the way their owners would never suspect if your cars, like most cars, the manufacturer installed an oil filter to strain out sludge and ridd and keep buil from going back into the engine. Oil filters don't require much attention, actually only once every six thousand miles.
Then it's time to get a new oil filter element. And unless you do, your oil filter becomes clogged and useless. So filter can't work anymore than a vacuum cleaner can and the best tag is jam full. That's why it's a good idea to have your car saver check your oil filter element. If more than six thousand miles of past your filter is full of dirt and sludge and do for a change. Car savers will be glad to install a
Applas my chronic filter element. Let's correct for your car. The more thing, now's a good time of the year to be getting ready for a warmer weather, So drive in soon for a friendly car saver check out at any standard station, our independent Chevron gas station where they say and mean we take better care of your car. A twenty year old girl comes to her attorney in existed he growth or will immediately. The reason none except that she expects
to be dead in three days. Well, you joined the lawyer, mister Sentinry, in trying to solve the mystery. But even if your name is George Valentine or you seemed to be able to find as if there's a deep and hidden secret between the girl Lucy and her older sister Agnes. You and Busy watched the ramble. Sisters were off the dinner, seeked into the doom and rambling old house. That's going on. But I see it before. I noticed a big old fashioned desk on the library. I think it higher

I better put to him before we turn on the line. That's good, I do. Yeah, may say this maybe isn't much. You've dad at the other places we looked to. But oh great black Yeah. I mean it's a good sign. M you should lose a little Persuashi. They've a good
ans looking ship. They should have been Solida. Believe it very soon, we'll try it again, and let's see any Alice's desk. Thanks for six flowing run for a cold. She needs Lucy's glocer to No, that's so hard that Lucy was born in Wilkin's London. So and what cent that's me? I thought she was born right, animal was very washing. Come on, let's talk to her friends center. No, Valentine, it doesn't make
sense. Why should a rich woman like missus Randrew go to a smaller dot town and have her baby there when she could have all the best care. I don't know, but there's the evidence she had no family there though. Friend said, he you do some more checking into this verse certificate good Inns town. What are you going to do, Valentin? I know it's not going says some at bathing with missus Brooks and I are going to take a
train after Wilker's landing. Whoka los landing. They don't wait the ten o'clock. They're all up the famers. They don't even put any down. That must be doctor Withers. High. Yes, there's a single good good George, I still have a seeing movies followed on that trail. Now, angel, lookye you got a glimpse of a man in a long black coat with a hat pulled on over his eyes. It was the only one who signs. I still got off here. But we can't just go looking for him?
Can we? Fits my sting? It? Changing it? Where have? What can I do with you both? I'm not a practicing doctor anymore, been retired for a year now. He's that signed for a long time sake. Yes, so when I'm George Valentine, doctor Withers, and this is my assistant this book. So yeah, you're gladuate kid, I see it twice senior. Two of you wait coming for excuse me, you'll get
the cool standing there. I wouldn't be kicking me off like that, but I'm not practicing anymore, my dad, I'd like to make you put some coffee. My housekeepers not hearing them all around. It's quite all right, doctor Whethers. We're just going a short business call about this birth certificate. This is your signature, isn't first a minute and putting my glasses on? Yeah? He is? What about it? And you brought Lucy Randall into the world? I did that? All right? Are you alone at the
time? Doctor, No? The mother I was at you know, well, let's send not exactly what I mean. I don't know what you mean. Yeah, he was your nurse, Rundown Day was her name. Wasn't anything strange about the birth? Doctor weaers know who's strange? Perfectly normal drooper, it was missus Vandall's pasion to going from poison. Yeah, recognized.
Better not talk about that, doctor Wellers, Please, I can't go into all the explanations now, but who's very importantly know Well in twenty years you know reason I shouldn't tell you, And just don't make no different now. One of the strangest cases I ever had. Gas me a lot to think about for a long time after that, going head, doctor kes head as your back door caration? Who could have been the night? I'll be here right back there where I'm right tracking. We're definitely on the right track.
That's when I suspect this chong, Doctor Winners, say s doctor Winners somebody shot ply she Doctor Withers will be all right, angel, Oh good. You won't be able to talk to anybody for at least a day anymore. We can't take a chance. I'm waiting, well, my daddy. Yeah, she's next. Let's hope we get to her before the man in the long dot coat. I'm sorry about doctor Widays. Is that all you have to say? This is study. I told you I know nothing about Lucy's
vandals. It's of the utmost important you'll tell us what happened. It's of the utmost importance to me that I live. But I told you you're in no danger. The sheriff has a man station right outside. You'll see what until this whole thing is cleared up. Now, look, you must realize there's a poor girl going around and you're the only one who can help her. I don't remember that pain. It's being put a long time. Missus Dowdy, you're a selfish woman who shut herself away from humanity so long that
she's forgotten or other human beings. Human being she owes something to look at that nicely. You've forgotten that you're a nurse. You once took a sacred oath. Perhaps you no longer remember the words, but you couldn't have forgotten the ideals. I haven't forgotten that gave me depart. That's the whole point. Here's a young girl, only twenty years old. She's just stunning in life, engaged to be married, happiness ahead of her. But Lucy slowly
but surely going mad, being driven mad. Did you see it's Lucy, he's going mad? Why? Yes, Oh, tell me everything. She has only a few hours of sanity life, So let's not waste time. Missus Dowding, I never thought i'd tell anyone, never, only Missus Bendy and doctor Wis. And I knew one day Missus Vanderkin here to look in vending and gave doctor Hiders this propetition. I didn't where are you? I didn't every name. Don't leave me alone like this. I rode in a
dark old house. I didn't even I'm right here. I just want should leave me alone like this? Where you all? Like? I wasn't. I always always here, old by myself. I didn't leave this house at all. I cured r my gray head, and see I was sleeping in my room. I not my room because I didn't want any want to share me? No, no, no, no. Early this morning, I couldn't can it any longer? I want your door. I pounded on it. I screamed for you. Look at my answer questionable. If you didn't
do it, I'm doing you imagine it, didn't you know? You imagine everything you hear? Now let me go right naturally. I didn't imagine. I wanted to stand on you, but I'll have to be underspeaking house. I talked to Missus and Missus Donatan has That's when I went. I beg you not to send you away, but they wouldn't do some to me, Lucy. They're coming for your own movements. Oh, I want to set you any mount. I'll try, but I can't let it to marry Missus
Jones. They're gonna lock you up or say flee. They're gonta locking up. Could you want a straight jack and bind your hands and feet and you will be able to move. We'll be able to protect yourself, not unkey yourself. And you'll lie there day after day, night after night, just with a horror in your own mind, the darkest shadow for your life. Chance, Lucy, look, Lucy, eatin up there A gone you can still say yourself a friend happiking of the of you because you're not crusty.
I don't want to see you suffering. Mother did cover horribly and the sleep. If the don see go up, it is to take don Lucy, she go ahead. Mostly don't come near me, mister Valentine, stay away, Lucy, Mary, sorry, did you asked her? I pick you away? Nobody gonna take your ala. That's right now. Listen to dude, look at this bish. Lucy, you're not Agnes's sister. You're an a doctor child. I don't understand. There's no one sanity in your family,
Lucy. Agnes has been trying to drive you mad. Missus Dowdy told us the whole story. A young girl and Wilkins Landing was going to have a baby and she couldn't take care of it. Are you sorry? Missus Randall went to Wilkins's Landing and lived there six months waiting for the birth of this child. Only doctor Withers and missus Dowdy knew what she had in mind, and Missus Randall came back here. She passed you off as her own
baby. Talk to child fighters. After mister Randall wanted or two. He knew from the time Angus was a few years old that she could never be any stronger mentally than her mother. How you no, you aren't going to do anything to anybody else. So we got to the house to a muddy footprints in the hall. Those footprints led to a close closet. In here we found a long dock overcoat and a slout chase. We also found a pair of shoes, muddy shoes. The same kind of blood you see on
our shoes. That blood came from a little country to load lem to doctor Wood's house. Michael, should he love the lover unlove my mother? The lime stack will have to take place in the sentence office. Long before we could say that heavy duty RPM motor oil doubles engine life the time between major overhauls due to lubrication, there had to be proved. Hundreds of motor oils
were tested in the laboratory and on the road. Economically treated piston rings were installed in test cars to measure actual wear as it occurred, and now heavy duty RPM users are sending in performance facts that backed up every claim ever made. One cab company, for example, reports that heavy duty RPM actually reduced engine wearing its cabs seventy one percent salesman and people like you and me are
sending in similar reports. So why take chances? Get heavy duty RPM motor oil for your car at independent Chevron gas stations and standard stations where they say and mean we take better care of your car. And you will find catched here where the deposition in doctor will go Dunson, head of the State lunacy Board. You're still in the rest of status, and see that you will take care of all around the papers that need no rising. I'll do that
right away, who IDs chatting? Yeah, well she'll be better off where she's joined by. After all, she did trying to kill not only Lucy with a bunch of weathers. I still don't see why as to see Lucy's true identity secret And as the doctor tells me, she was jealous. There was a Lucy and a bro I mean, I guess there were other mothers too. The wedding mister is willing to them. Valentine, I'm very grateful for what you've done. And Lucy, Yeah, she insists she's going to
name her first baby absolute. That's great as the matter. In fact, she wanted to do something for news boys what to do. Yeah, He's going through the Bible book and Greg Castle.

Do It. Let George Do It. Has heard overseas to the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service. This is the Virtual John Lee Broadcasting System. Welcome back, Well A story where I think we had everything really other than the motive. Um, it was kind of obvious. It was, you know, in a very disturbing story. This has probably been one of the more nutty characters they've you know, or disturbed, I think is a
better word, disturbed characters that they've had on the series. Yet a pretty scary top of scenario here, but thanks to George Valentine, turns out for the best. All right, Well, now we do turn to listener comments and feedback. Art Bright's in It is a Adam. It is great the way you've set up the podcast with a different detective every night. I listened to them at night to get to sleep, being that they are on my iPhone. They play all night long, which is wonderful when I wake up
three or four times a night. I download all fifty three episodes of Box thirteen because I really like Box thirteen, but playing them one after another is very hard to take. Your format is perfect, Art, Thanks so much, Art, and I did find that because initially what I planned for this show was that we would do one show five times a week till it was
all done. And you tried that with Pat Novac for Hire and you, yeah, that wouldn't work too well, particularly since people who might like Pat Novac for Hire might not be in two five days a week of Sherlock Holmes, so this was a good way for us to find that balance, and James comments, I'm so glad I found your app. Also finding the Fat Man a real joy. WAMU from Washington, DC, a old time radio program every Sunday night from seven to eleven. Your programs are wonderful editions,
many of the programs I remember from my youth. Thank you, Jim. Well, thanks so much, Jim, And I've heard of that program quant a bit. I'm one of those venerable pioneers in bringing old time radio for life, and we definitely salute them. All Right, Well, that'll do it for today. Join us back here tomorrow for Sherlock Holmes, and then
next Wednesday another episode of Let George dood in.
