since then i've owned us only spent one night there and when they found me in the morning i was almost it was my wife's idea to have our guests coming tomorrow counts she said of using her sense of humor is shall we say original i dreamed up by hers tempted now but after a lance needs to ten thousand are given if he's brave enough to stay all night this is ruth bridges you've no doubt read her column in the newspapers she says the reason for coming to the party is to write a feature article on g far i think so by fifty thousand dollars a party for only five people is a little steep even for a millionaire since it's going to cost me fifty thousand dollars i want you to have fun you always do that it spoils the champagne you might explode never down but you guarantee that that isn't funny vandyck make a good headline playboy kills wife with it's always good to know that the doctor said yes snake on the rocks and about you do it again if you thought you could get away with it without dying what makes you think that something about  thinking of ways to get rid of me it makes wrinkles this is what she used to my brother and her sister to the pieces we found parts of the bodies all over the house and places you wouldn't think funny things the heads have never been found hands and feet and things like that no heads the white probably in a rage threatened the husband with a knife and then carried away by his spirit took a swing at him and then we went on from there but this is certainly what og how many people did she killed mr pritchard only to her husband and her sister no one else was here so there are two loosehead just floating around in his own way you can hear them at night they whisper to each other and then cry since our host isn't here would anyone care to make me a are already moving on that's a bad sign let me apologize for my wife's you enjoy the favor stuff and the same now before the party begins let's go over the details it midnight locking it in here until they come back in the morning once the door is locked there's no way out the windows have the jail would be proud and the only door to the outside  locks like a folk there's no electricity no phone no one within my own so no way to call for help like a co so if any of you decide not to stay for the party much let me know before midnight of course if you leave i shan't be able to pay you anything i'm interested in your reasons for this  aside from pleasant company goes dr i think everyone wonders what they would do if they saw started yet wasn't there a man who threw his wife into a wine battered something that was in the cellar there's been a murder almost every place in this house none of the murders here were just ordinary just shooting a stabbing they've all been sort of wild violen god she didn't fall then you mean you're still  how'd you get invited to this if i don't i lose ten thousand dollars i'm going to stay to ten thousand dollars you believe in ghosts i don't  have never seen so many doors where can he go oh he thinks a big money like his can get away with anything you know of course had his fourth wife the first simply disappeared the other to die i have your attention place i think you all remember the back and we made about staying all night ten thousand dollars apiece if any of you don't survive fifty thousand dollars will be divided amongst the rest of you if i should die you will be paid by my state when the door is locked from the outside by the caretakers we'll all be forced to stay in this house until morning if any of you decide not to stay in the speed with the caretakers now you won't have a chance to change your mind later because there'll be nobody to get midnight here who told them they could leave they never leave before midnight and they've gone now i was going to ask you whether you wanted to stay or not but it seems that the caretaker just made the decision for you where are the locked in now i don't want to stay and i'm sorry my dear but it's too late now haven't you had enough of this silly game get some cards appear to these people and let them go home but this is your party remember spite of my wife's face and my ability to do the impossible we will all have to stay in this house until eight o'clock in the morning but we have  this is my wife's idea that i might say i think it's rather dangerous i suppose you all know how to use one of these things but in case you down you just press down on this lever with your thumb and then pull the trigger these are no good against the dead only the living room  suppose norad had a gun when she mistook the blind woman for a ghost i don't think anyone else is going to walk around in total darkness oh i'm sure we're not going to go running around the house shooting each other and you  it makes people do amazing thing you said your sister not killed a man and a woman here and cut them up you said they found hands and feet but they never found any yet would you like to see one of those hands but you are like if you wanted ok well  about it or don't frighten her any more what do you know about this particular in a little while should be one of them was not it's too late it's too late you'll never find your prichard if you and said she committed suicide but i think somebody killed y so greedy so i'm not afraid of your ghosts brigid but i am afraid when we came here a few hours ago the only thing we had in common was a ten thousand dollars we get now however we share something else  tonight one of us was almost killed by a falling chandelier one of us was mysteriously slugged one of us has been driven to the brink of absolute styria and one of us is dead happened let me ask you a question dr you were the first one to see my wife there did you also see anything that she could have climbed up on and then jumped no did any know she was married by one of you or you missed another and to deliberately kill someone you must have a reason we were all strangers to your wife only you had a motive for murder or has meant having to tell him i wanted to kill his wife been has had a thousand opportunities to do it in such a way that he'd never be suspected i'm not such a full as to hang my wife from the ceiling by a rope the fact remains that you are one of us did mrs larne and that's a matter for the police why should even a millionaire want to give each of us ten thousand dollars to spend one night in a gloomy old house the season goes to have a party know if you can is trying the dr and is the very guilty of murder this isn't getting us anyw somebody killed mrs larne we know that one of us is guilty and the rest of us are innocent ok what we have to do for the next six hours is protect ourselves from each other you rarely front i don't think anything i just know that i'm going to my room and if anybody comes in i'll shoot him or her and if we all stay in our rooms we'll be safe because the innocent will have no reason to leave his room and the guilt they will admit his guilt if he or she does and we all have guns and we only minutes seconds after someone's life why waste time and you didn't shoot anyone my dear i loaded your gun with blanks i can tell you are now trying to my wife were planning to kill me they say and trent tried to throw me in the fact my wife stumbled and found i'm ready for justice to decide if i am innocent or guilty
