00:00Moment, I have to write a sentence at the end.

00:24Yes, please.

00:34Hello?

00:35Yes?

00:36Am I talking to Mr. Hedge?

00:38Mr. Hutchinson Hedge from the Daily New Yorker?

00:41Yes, and who are you?

00:44Oh, of course you forgive me. Henley is my name. Weldon Henley. Do you remember me?

00:50Oh yes, I remember you.

00:52I remember him. From the good old days, when I was still a free employee at the Elegant World and wrote the column Klatsch mit Hutch.

01:02You already know who with whom, where, when, how long.

01:05And during my incredibly exhausting research on midnight parties and the like, I was more often encountered with Mr. Weldon Henley.

01:14I can't say that he left me an indelible impression, but I noticed him.

01:22A quick young man who spent more money than was good for him and drank more whiskey than he could tolerate.

01:30Young companion, tennis player, joker and, because a person of today also has to have a contemporary hobby, amateur photographer.

01:40Later, when I became a court reporter at the Daily New Yorker, I lost sight of Henley.

01:45We were never thick friends anyway.

01:48And now, after a good three years, he contacted me again.

01:53What did he want from me?

01:56What I want from you? That's not so easy to explain.

02:00Yes, yes, maybe you should try it anyway.

02:03Yes. So...

02:05Yes?

02:07You have a lot to do with crimes, don't you?

02:09You always write these articles about robbers and murderers.

02:12That's right, old friend.

02:14What's going on?

02:16I don't know...

02:17There's a story behind it.

02:19Don't pull yourself together, man. Unpack.

02:21No, no, no, that's not how it works.

02:23You have to promise me that nothing of what I tell you will be in the newspaper.

02:27I think you're a gentleman.

02:29Even if you're a journalist.

02:31Thank you very much.

02:32Oh, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant.

02:34Yes, all right.

02:35So...

02:36Will you give me your word?

02:38Yes, if I have to.

02:40Please do.

02:41I'll keep quiet like the proverbial grave.

02:44So...

02:45And...

02:46What do you have on your mind now?

02:48Yes...

02:49Yes?

02:50In short...

02:52I have reason to believe that I should be murdered.

02:55I don't know what you're talking about.

02:57Yes.

02:58Have you already been to the police?

03:00Police?

03:01No, not at all.

03:03The thing is...

03:05How should I put it?

03:07A little strange.

03:09I'm not quite sure...

03:11Oh, well, as you wish.

03:13It's your funeral, so hopefully not.

03:16But I still don't know what I can do for you.

03:20Yes.

03:21Yes?

03:22Yes, I thought...

03:23Yes, I thought...

03:24Do you know this professor?

03:26I mean the private detective who solves the difficult murder cases.

03:29If you mean Professor Van Dusen.

03:31Yes.

03:32Yes, I know him.

03:33Quite well, actually.

03:34By the way, let me give you some good advice, Mr. Lee.

03:37Never call him private detective.

03:39Professor Dr. Dr. Dr. Van Dusen.

03:42The machine of thought has great value in the name of amateur criminologist.

03:46Isn't that the same?

03:47I wouldn't say so.

03:49Besides, Professor Van Dusen only takes on particularly interesting and complicated cases.

03:53Exactly.

03:54That's why I turn to you, Hedge.

03:57Would you introduce me to Van Dusen?

04:01I don't know.

04:02Please do.

04:03Kindly.

04:04I can try to get an interview.

04:05As I am, I said yes.

04:07And thus set, without knowing it, a chain of events in motion,

04:11which should develop into one of the strangest and most unclear cases in the professor's course.

04:17To the mysterious case of the Red Thread, as he himself later called it.

04:23For my part, I prefer the title, Murder at Gaslight.

04:27That sounds more like a pun.

04:29And on puns I understand myself exceptionally better than Van Dusen.

04:33But that aside.

04:35I sat down, as promised, in contact with the professor,

04:39made an appointment for a visit with him for this evening,

04:43and arrived on time at 8 o'clock with him,

04:46with Mr. Weldon Henley, in a tow rope.

04:49So they made an attack on her life.

04:52One?

04:53Three attacks, Professor Van Dusen.

04:55Someone tried to kill me three times.

04:57Three times?

04:59Interesting.

05:01That shows a certain tenacity of the unknown perpetrator, when and...

05:05And of his bad luck.

05:07Excuse me.

05:11When and where did these attacks take place, Mr. Henley?

05:16In the last two weeks, Professor.

05:18In my apartment.

05:19In your apartment, I see.

05:21And where is your apartment?

05:24Park Avenue, in the so-called Dronenhaus.

05:27Do you know it?

05:29Of course we knew the Dronenhaus.

05:31A hyper-modern five-story apartment block,

05:34in the best neighborhood of the city,

05:36divided into apartments,

05:38which offered young couples and single men with high expectations

05:41for a reasonable rental price,

05:43a highly luxurious facility.

05:46The same heavenly peace,

05:48as well as all the comfort of our young 20th century.

05:51Central heating, elevator, gas light or electric lighting,

05:55as you like.

05:57That's how it was in the brochure.

06:00And here lived Mr. Weldon Henley,

06:03in a small, modest apartment for young couples.

06:07Of five rooms, as he said.

06:10Well, I use one room as a darkroom, by the way.

06:13For my photographic works, which I devote a part of my time to.

06:16Oh, that's interesting.

06:19Oh, yes, of course.

06:34Ah, yes. And?

06:48Otherwise I would have died for sure.

06:51Yes, that was the first time.

06:54So, the flame was extinguished, the gas was streaming out.

06:57And when did it happen?

06:59Exactly 14 days ago.

07:03On June 17th, 1902.

07:06I find it difficult, Mr. Henley,

07:08to see a deliberate murder in the incident.

07:11A sudden draft of air,

07:13or a temporary reduction of the gas pressure,

07:16which caused the flame to extinguish and the gas to stream out.

07:19A coincidence, Mr. Henley.

07:21Unpleasant for you.

07:23Perhaps even dangerous.

07:25But hardly a deliberate murder.

07:27A coincidence.

07:29Yes, I thought so at first, Professor.

07:31But then, two days later, exactly the same thing happened.

07:34And then, he said to us, Henley,

07:37he became restless.

07:39And the restlessness became a concern

07:42when he, last night, for the third time,

07:45became the victim of the gaslight attack.

07:48Again, the flame of the night lighting was mysteriously extinguished.

07:52Again, poisonous gas streamed into the room.

07:55And only the fact that he was called by a friend late at night,

07:59saved Henley from safety.
