17
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:40,959
From March twenty second, nineteen fifty two, here is the

18
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,879
John Mooney murder case.

19
00:01:56,599 --> 00:02:00,959
Speaker 2: Broadways might beat sometimes Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest,

20
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,519
the most violent, the lonesomest, mile.

21
00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: In the world.

22
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: Broadways might be with Larry Thor as Detective Daddy Klober.

23
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,479
Speaker 2: Springtime begins to search through Broadway and its gentle winds,

24
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,639
feel out the places to set up shop, the pushcots

25
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,800
of the flower vendors, where the promises are wrapped in

26
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:39,599
tight by the faint color, a child's ribbon, silken hair

27
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:43,719
side across the winter pinched face, a woman's shoulders too

28
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,039
soon eager to shed, the raiment of winter's night. In

29
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,400
the spring songs choked out of loudspeakers, in the inviting

30
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,280
sidelong glance, in the barefoot padding through sunwarm corridors. Here

31
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:59,879
is spring for Broadway. Innocent nostalgic is the music of

32
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:04,560
organ grinder, to which monkeys stands, to which Broadway size

33
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:13,879
remembers prize again. And at the edge of the march

34
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,879
evening against the shimmering of dusk, the anger of a man,

35
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,560
the near hysteria, the economy sized fury of innocence malign.

36
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:25,199
Speaker 5: It's an outrage, a shame of filthy shame, the way

37
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,400
you please have nothing better than do and drag off

38
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:29,639
a man off the street and push him and beat him,

39
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,800
and people standing around and sniffs the same thing.

40
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 6: You might as well have. What am I doing here?

41
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,919
What am I doing?

42
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 7: In a messy room with a detective and a girl

43
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,240
with a sketch pad me? A man with two kids,

44
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:46,240
an overworked wife nags at me when I'm late for supper,

45
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:47,639
late for anything?

46
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:49,199
Speaker 8: Everything I ever got?

47
00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:50,599
Speaker 6: I sweat for you, hear.

48
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 8: Me, Make it easy, mister Grey, I miss, I'm in.

49
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:56,639
Speaker 5: The thieves door, see on buying for my lawns, my

50
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,319
rose which siege you know?

51
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,599
Speaker 8: Bigger and a rape?

52
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 6: And walk out and a man grabs messed me drop

53
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,400
things in the street. He brings me here. Why tell

54
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:05,680
me what crime I've come in?

55
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,879
Speaker 9: And you can tell me.

56
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,159
Speaker 2: You passed a bill in a bank early this afternoon,

57
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:10,919
mister Grace, A thousand dollars bill?

58
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,719
Speaker 8: Where'd you get it?

59
00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: I got it?

60
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,159
Speaker 6: The bank said it was good, didn't they? Then? Who

61
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,639
are you have to stick your nosey? And I got it.

62
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: We're a man who sweats for everything he gets. How

63
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:23,399
much sweat for that thousand, mister Grace? A bill the

64
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:25,879
bank recognized from serial numbers as one from a five

65
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,480
year old payroll robbery where a pay messenger was murdered.

66
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,759
How much sweat for it, mister Gray, you know when.

67
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 6: You're talking about I bought it.

68
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,879
Speaker 7: I bought it from a man on forty fifteen Broadway.

69
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,720
He said I could have it for two hundred and

70
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:37,439
fifty dollars.

71
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 6: I laughed in his face.

72
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:40,439
Speaker 8: But you bought it and sold well.

73
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,319
Speaker 7: I laughed in his face at first, but when he

74
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:44,199
said he'd go to the bank with me and proved

75
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:45,000
to me it was good.

76
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 8: This man was he Less Chaining.

77
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 9: I don't know who he was.

78
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,199
Speaker 6: I never saw him before.

79
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,759
Speaker 2: Maybe I can freshen it for you, mister Grace. Cheney

80
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,600
was a man we believed responsible for the robbery and murder.

81
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,959
We couldn't prove it though. We never found the money,

82
00:04:58,079 --> 00:04:59,959
but he was set up for a possession of narcotic

83
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:04,639
He's out now. Less Cheney tell you that, I don't

84
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,120
know maybe it was him. I told you I never

85
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,240
saw the man before.

86
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,079
Speaker 7: A thousand dollars almost nothing. Wouldn't you about it? Let's

87
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:18,800
pretend we're friends. Yew it about it, Miss Holland. Here's

88
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,240
an artist, mister Grace. She'll sketch a drawing while they

89
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,759
described the man A sold you the bill.

90
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:24,079
Speaker 8: Go ahead, mister, but.

91
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 6: I thought she was doing a drawing of me, I

92
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,319
thought described him well.

93
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 8: Described well.

94
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,399
Speaker 7: They had kind of a thin, smirky faces, pinched nose,

95
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,759
kind of washed out eyes.

96
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 9: It was blue.

97
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 6: I think they bulged out a little bit.

98
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,639
Speaker 9: And you getting.

99
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: Don't worry about her, mister Gray. She'll get if you're

100
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:42,639
just go on.

101
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 7: Ye. Well, his hat was kind of slouched down on

102
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,639
his floor, and he distinguishing marks like a scar and anything.

103
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 6: No, no, there was no scar. I noticed he needed

104
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:52,120
a shape.

105
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 7: But then I guess they old you that type kind

106
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:58,000
of a loose mouth, something like a bird dog.

107
00:05:58,079 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's it.

108
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,759
Speaker 8: The sad eyes and they sniffing around. But that's all

109
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,240
I remember. Now, what else do you want? Not to

110
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,279
go on this? Hoellen goodness?

111
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,319
Speaker 2: Call your wife, mister Grace, tell her you'll be real late.

112
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,759
We're holding you on suspicion.

113
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 6: You do that, You do that after the way I cooperated?

114
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,639

Speaker 8: You don't know anything about the man who lives here?

267
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:28,279
Speaker 10: Do I want to look?

268
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 9: Could that be him? That walking down in the doorway?

269
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,759

00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 2: He fell before I could get to him, fell in

271
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,480
a limp, loose way of men who were already dead.

272
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,840
His hands were wet with the flow of his blood

273
00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:47,159
where it held the bullet wound.

274
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 8: His mouth shaped a word.

275
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: Then it two was gone, the death wound, the silence.

276
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:56,799
This was what was left of a man whose picture

00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:21,679

00:15:21,679 --> 00:15:24,039
while he puts the yearly coat of shellac and the coconut.

sodden room to be found at the end of all

302
00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:50,399
the sodden corridors in the world, the sand colored walls

303
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,240

Speaker 11: Huh ask if.

320
00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 8: She's sure Sylvia lived in New York. Don't worry about it, Mugglement.

the soiled curtain floating and floating in.

330
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:21,799

instant you made him lose his hurried way to know where,

334
00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:33,400
then smiles his forgiveness, because there at the end of

335
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,839
the corner where the street lamp dims, he sees it.

336
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,960
He'll find it again. And then the quiet street where

337
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,680
your room is, where if your lucky Sleep waits to

338
00:17:42,759 --> 00:17:45,519
welcome you. When the first you must rid yourself of

339
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:48,039
the image of a murdered man who sold money, engraved

340
00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:51,640
with death, of a girl with redhair, who walked or

341
00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:54,880
slapped or laughed, and the shadow that mocked her was

342
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,480
not her own, and sleep is diluted to these things.

343
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,039
Speaker 8: Finally Sleep runs.

344
00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:09,160

She went to her apartment, right to her apartment.

361
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,559
Speaker 13: If she hadn't gone straight to her apartment, this wouldn't

00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,240
and came back here about an hour ago for lunch.

369
00:19:28,039 --> 00:19:30,279
She came down here to the lady's lounge. I waited

370
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:33,359
outside the door. About ten minutes later there was a scream.

371
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,359
The attendant found the girl at a dressing table with

372
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,920
a knife in her back. That's it, people coming in

373

Speaker 6: Let's proceed, shall we?

404
00:21:28,759 --> 00:21:29,359

00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,880

Speaker 8: They didn't do that. I told you they didn't do it.

443
00:23:35,839 --> 00:23:38,000
I violated a law and I was caught.

444
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,839
Speaker 11: You had to memorize that, Speechless, you always had a

445
00:23:40,839 --> 00:23:41,519
poor memory.

446
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 3: What made it stick? Brass knuckles?

447
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,559
Speaker 8: Don't mind how, mister Clover? What can I do for you?

448
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 2: You read the papers to see how we finally found

449
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,519
that money that was stolen, that hold up you were

450
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:54,799
involved in five years ago.

451
00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:57,839
Speaker 14: I can't go along with you on that, misteric Clove.

452
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,000
I was never involved in a hold on my error.

453
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 8: The one we picked you up for, the one you

454
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,200
couldn't make stick. Sure.

455
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,799
Speaker 14: I admitted my car was used as a getaway care

456
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,599
but it had been stolen.

457
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 11: From him and you couldn't prove otherwise, so you planted

458
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,119
the narcotics on him.

459
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,759
Speaker 3: Why are you talking to him last?

460
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 8: Because I have to ut.

461
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,519
Speaker 2: That's right. Let's get back to that money Less. I

462
00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:23,640
don't understand why we have to get back down in

463
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,759
the humor. Me huh, yes, I have to do that

464
00:24:27,839 --> 00:24:28,319
to it.

465
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,519
Speaker 8: We found it in the man's room. The man's name

466
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:32,319
was John Mooney, and he had a record as being

467
00:24:32,319 --> 00:24:35,720
a pickpocket. And I were discussing while ago.

468
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 11: Let's read it to me out of the paper, and

469
00:24:37,759 --> 00:24:38,359
I clucked.

470
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 8: I was wondering how he got that money. Less, I

471
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:42,640
wouldn't know.

472
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,799
Speaker 2: I'll tell you how I figure he got the money.

473
00:24:44,839 --> 00:24:47,000
He was a pickpocket, so he picked somebody's pocket.

474
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,319
Speaker 8: All that done. He had a day, not really, he.

475
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:53,599
Speaker 11: Got killed for it, so we didn't have a good day.

476
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: Go argue with a cop.

477
00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,559
Speaker 2: We know who killed John Mooney, I said, r Oh,

478
00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:04,160
girl named Joan Carson. She killed him someplace near his hotel.

479
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,039
So because Key went to the room to look for

480
00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:07,960
the money, I found her there.

481
00:25:08,079 --> 00:25:11,759
Speaker 14: Clover, Ruthie has missed me for five years and I

482
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,400
only been out of money.

483
00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 8: Like we were married all over again. Let me spend

484
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,359
my evenings, said Ruthie. Let's lonely take a little while.

485
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: The thing that bothered us less was who Joan Carson

486
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,519
was and how she knew where to find the money.

487
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 9: You know who she was?

488
00:25:28,039 --> 00:25:29,519
Speaker 8: You tell me missus Jenney.

489
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 3: You tell him, lest tell him.

490
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 8: Sure.

491
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,759
Speaker 14: I once know him, mister Clover a long time ago.

492
00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:40,880
I know a lot of addicts a long time.

493
00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: It still bothers us less. How she knew where the

494
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:43,759
money was?

495
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 8: We couldn't find it for five years? How do I

496
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,759
know what she knew?

497
00:25:46,839 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: You're in jail for five years. We never saw a

498
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,880
dollar of that fifty thousand were stolen. You get out

499
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:51,839
and starts circulating.

500
00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 3: We still want to pin it on him.

501
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:53,319
Speaker 9: Huh.

502
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 2: Let me tell both of you how it all ties together.

503
00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:58,240
You did commit that robbery and murder. Less some where

504
00:25:58,279 --> 00:26:00,000
the money was hidden. You get out, get the money,

505
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,200
take it someplace to get rid of it at a discount.

506
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,160
Wise boy like you got his pocket pick. Then the

507
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,920
money starts showing. I don't think you're going to prove

508
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,440
it this time either, glue. That's what held me up

509
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,000
so long. Less a bright boy like you gets his

510
00:26:16,079 --> 00:26:18,920
pocket pick. I couldn't believe it, but I had to

511
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,640
come back to it.

512
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 8: Like I said, you still need proof.

513
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,079
Speaker 2: Maybe all right, We've still got another problem problem. How

514
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,960
are we going to get your wife to admit she

515
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,279
killed Joan Carson?

516
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 8: How are we going to do that later, you kidding?

517
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,519
Speaker 3: Get him out of your life.

518
00:26:35,559 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 14: Wait a minute, Clover, how do you figure Ruthie kills you?

519
00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 8: Ou'd you figure it less? You figured Ruth? Do you

520
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,519
need help less? Yeah? Yeah, help me.

521
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: Your wife kept that fifty thousand for you while you

522
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,319
were in jail. Didn't she hit it someplace?

523
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:54,759
Speaker 8: Tay, get in there. See what happened?

524
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 3: You crazy?

525
00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 8: Shut up? Well Glover take it from there.

526
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,759
Speaker 2: You got out, You gave your wife that money, then

527
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:04,000
you lost it. What did you tell your wife when

528
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:04,519
you lost it?

529
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,759
Speaker 3: I told her I lost it, lost it, lost it

530
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:15,759
to that redhead children, didn't you? Didn't you listen to

531
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:16,079
me later?

532
00:27:16,759 --> 00:27:19,279
Speaker 8: To me what I told you? That money was stolen.

533
00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:21,599
Speaker 14: The pickpocket recognized me, call me and try to sell

534
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,200
us back to me.

535
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 8: I didn't have any money to buy it.

536
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 11: And you sent that redhead for it.

537
00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 9: Why didn't she send me?

538
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 11: Because I'm not beautiful anymore after waiting for you, because

539
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,279
I don't dip my head in, Hannah, because I don't

540
00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:33,519
on a slip, that's not fraid.

541
00:27:34,279 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 9: Look what she did to you.

542
00:27:35,319 --> 00:27:37,039
Speaker 11: She crossed your killed and was going to keep that

543
00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:37,480
money for her.

544
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: Step was going to come back to her. Oh no, oh.

545
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 11: No, that's not her, not Miss Joan carp I took

546
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,519
care of that, sure, killed her, less followed her and

547
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:54,960
killed her for you for the past five years, for

548
00:27:55,039 --> 00:27:56,519
the years you were going to make up to me,

549
00:27:57,559 --> 00:27:59,799
For the years I lie there with my hands behind

550
00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:04,440
my head, just to me laugh and no one else.

551
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 3: It's the Clover. Yeah, take us away together.

552
00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:35,559
Speaker 2: Twilight lies against Broadway like gray speckled gauze, ripples off

553
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:39,559
into another world. The street of the hurry up steps,

554
00:28:39,839 --> 00:28:45,119
the fast questions, dances, the seekers after the special smile

555
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,240
and you walk it because once Broadway touched you, you.

556
00:28:50,279 --> 00:28:51,559
Speaker 8: Can't rub it off.

557
00:28:52,720 --> 00:29:00,359
Speaker 2: It's Broadway, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lone almost

558
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,400
mile in the world.

559
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 8: Broadway My Beat.

560
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,599
Speaker 4: Broadway's My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover,

561
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,839
with Charles Calvert Astataglia and Jack Krushian as Mugavan. The

562
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,440
program was produced and directed by Elliott Lewis. Musical score

563
00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:37,640
was composed by Alexander Courage and conducted by Modern Skyles.

564
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,640
In Tonight's story, Jannett Lawrence was Hurt as Ruth and

565
00:29:40,759 --> 00:29:44,559
Anthony Barrett as Less. Featured in the cast were Georgia, Ellis,

566
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:59,160
Howard mcneer and Leo Cleary. Yes, so's you old man, Yes,

567
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,200
so's your old man, and most everyone else in his

568
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,079
generation that Amos and Andy fan.

569
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 8: And the beauty of their comedy is.

570
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: That it's just as funny, just as fabulous, just as

571
00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:12,279
fresh as when Amos and Andy first stole America's heart twenty

572
00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:15,400
three years ago. Tomorrow night, on most of these same

573
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:26,119
CBS radio stations, listen and laugh with Amos Sinnami by

574
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,519
Lander's speaking, and.

575
00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 4: Remember Robert QS Waxworks brings you the top records and

576
00:30:30,720 --> 00:31:25,960
recording artists on the CBS Radio network.

577
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,519
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Honestly, this is one of those cases where

578
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,759
I feel like there might be some sort of Mandela

579
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:42,400
effect going on, because I remember a lot of old

580
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,920
time references to Sylvia, and I could swear that there

581
00:31:46,119 --> 00:31:52,039
was some sort of ad campaign around where Sylvia or

582
00:31:52,079 --> 00:31:56,240
Sylvia specifically, but I couldn't find any during this era.

583
00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:03,039
There is actually a famous gong by Shakespeare called who

584
00:32:03,119 --> 00:32:08,440
is Sylvia that was in the play To Gentlemen of Verona,

585
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,799
and I guess that's probably where the old time radio

586
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,440
Sylvia references come from. But if anyone is aware of

587
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,680
another explanation for the Sylvia references, I would love to

588
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,839
hear it, as it was, it did end up part

589
00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:29,920
of Joan Carson's story. Speaking of Joan, this is one

590
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,680
of those cases where Danny follows the tact that if

591
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,240
you can't prove anything, see if you can bluff. Going

592
00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:44,799
into the final confrontation UH with the Cheneys, Danny had nothing.

593
00:32:45,359 --> 00:32:50,480
Less had been the prime suspect, and Joan corson unless

594
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,960
got arrested together an unrelated narcotics wrap. That was the

595
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,480
whole thing, and somehow Danny walks out of that with

596
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:05,039
Rue under arrest for the murder of Joan and Less

597
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,160
under arrest for the original payroll robbery plus the murder.

598
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:12,799
This is one of those cases where it only worked

599
00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:16,559
out because they were willing to talk. Less required to

600
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,200
by the terms of his parole, and Danny questioned them together.

601
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,200
And we also have to note the appearance of our

602
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,440
favorite sergeant who was feeling a bit down. And it's

603
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,519
a good humanizing thing because even though he's cheerful, not

604
00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:39,480
everybody feels cheerful all the time unless they're being performative.

605
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:43,039
And Gino is a real one and he's got a

606
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,200
real problem with career frustration and his wife kind of

607
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,240
heckling him about. And while Danny can sometimes be a

608
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:55,279
bit surely and maybe insensitive, it's a bit of a

609
00:33:55,319 --> 00:33:59,920
reversal here, as he's encouraging and reflects the nature of

610
00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:08,440
their relationship. Tortaglia feels free talking about this to Danny,

611
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,119
and that Danny doesn't take it in any way as

612
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:16,880
an offense against him. Yeah, he can't fix the system,

613
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,679
but he does have faith in Geno as an officer

614
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:26,840
and that he'll eventually have things work out. But I

615
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,840
don't think it happens while Broadways My Beat is on

616
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,159
the air now listener comments and feedback, and we start

617
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:37,880
with this comment on Instagram from Brain's Benton who rites,

618
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,800
regarding the Raymond Grant murder case. I really liked the

619
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,719
longer version of the theme song at the end. It

620
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,719
really is a great piece of music to listen to.

621
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,639
Alexander Courage definitely knew his stuff, and I wouldn't say

622
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,960
that all old time radio themes are like this. For example,

623
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:04,119
the first theme to Yours Truly Johnny Dollar during the

624
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,920
Charles Russell era is not bad. It's a nice little

625
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,039
relaxing tune, but I could take it or leave it.

626
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:19,760
This one really captures just there's something about New York

627
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,880
City and this show in particular that that tune just

628
00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:28,800
compliments perfectly. Well, now it's time to thank our Patreon

629
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,920

We'll be back next Wednesday with another episode of Broadways

637
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,960
My Beat, But join us back here tomorrow for right

638
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:04,039
now where.

639
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 15: Russell Preston, that was the last name he used.

640
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 8: I see. He usually starts by putting a want add

641
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:10,039
in the papers that.

642
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 15: Well, he rents himself an office first, usually pretty expensive

643
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,079
when well furnished. Then he hires a good looking secretary,

644
00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:17,159
has her put a want ad in the daily paper's form.

645
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,519
Speaker 8: And he's in business. How do the ads?

646
00:36:18,639 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 15: He's the usual, yeah, typical thing you see in the

647
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,440
daily paper. Business opportunity for people with vision, good investment,

648
00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:26,800
high profits applying now, you know, and then he gives

649
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,840
his address and phone numbers. There's nothing clever about it,

650
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:29,880
but people still go for it.

651
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:32,159
Speaker 8: He give Memny replies, you know, well, we.

652
00:36:32,159 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 15: Figured he got between twenty and thirty on that last

653
00:36:34,039 --> 00:36:36,480
daily pulled. Seems all he has to do is land

654
00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:38,079
one victim out of the bunch with enough money, and

655
00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:40,159
he's got it made. Took his first victim here for

656
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:42,840
five thousand, second one for thirty two hundred. Both elderly

657
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,440
women took him for their last dollar.

658
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 2: About the way he sets up the deal with these

659
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,400
different businessmen, Joe, I don't think I got it quite straight.

660
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 8: You know what I mean?

661
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say the owner that manufacturing plant, this Russell

662
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,320
Preston lined up, you know. You say Preston went to

663
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,360
the plant, introduced himself as a business advisor, told the

664
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,239
owner of the plant he had some people with money

665
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,880
to invest. He convinced the owner who's legitimate. The other

666
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,239
time and Preston had his two victims shown through the

667
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,199
plant and convinced him they out to invest their money

668
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:07,760
in the business.

669
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 8: You know that's it?

670
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,599
Speaker 2: Do you mean to say, the plant owners were acting

671
00:37:10,599 --> 00:37:11,119
in good faith.

672
00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:14,119
Speaker 15: Well, we're all checked out. Bill everything about them. They

673
00:37:14,159 --> 00:37:16,719
all have good business reputation. They didn't know any more

674
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,360
about the deal and the victims. They needed more capital

675
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,920
for their business and they figured this was in.

676
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,639
Speaker 8: Miss Preston or whatever his name is. Sure must have

677
00:37:23,679 --> 00:37:24,599
a line, I won't stop.

678
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 15: It's got everything that goes with it. Nice clothes, well mannered,

679
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,559
good looking. He doesn't try to high pressure anybody tells

680
00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:32,159
them if they have confidence in him, he'll be glad

681
00:37:32,159 --> 00:37:33,000
to invest their money.

682
00:37:33,079 --> 00:37:34,679
Speaker 8: If they hedge it all he shows them right through

683
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,840
the office pretty good pitch. Once they're sold on him,

684
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:38,320
he's got to move.

685
00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime,

686
