Dr. Watson

As we rejoin our story, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are cross-questioning another of the suspects, a Swedish sculptress by the name of Madame Janssen.

Tonight's Sherlock Holmes adventure is written by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher and is based on an incident in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story, A Case of Identity.

This is Bill Foreman saying goodnight to the Petri family.

This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

Come in.

Come in, Mr. Bartow.

You're just the man I've been expecting.

Thank you, my boy.

It's very nice to see you again, too.

I've missed our Monday night visits during the last three months.

Mr. Sovedard, would you care to join me in a glass of port?

That's an excellent idea.

Here you are, young fellow.

To Sherlock Holmes, master detective and loyal friend, whose adventures have brought considerable, shall we say, fame to a certain retired doctor now living in Northern California.

Well, now, suppose I might as well get on with tonight's story.

In Baker Street on a windy December evening at the turn of the century, a young, white-faced boy sat in front of our blazing fire.

And as he told us his strange story, the flickering firelight danced weird patterns on the walls.

The young man was Alexander McMorris, the seventh Earl of Lochner.

Even in this day and age, the tragic history of violent death seems to dog the footsteps of the Loch Nair family.
