Speaker 2: Broadway's Mybeat from Times Square to Columbus Circle. The gaudiest,
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.
Speaker 3: Broadways My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
Speaker 2: The winds of January begin. They're unraveling and Broadway shivers
in Doorways submits to the lingering cold touch. They're passing
without regret, puddling against it. Turning it back to it.
But the wilderness of steel and stone, draped with glitter,
whispers on the darkness, and Broadway tries again, ventures out,
digs down, finds the currency of nighttime once more lays
its bets against the dealers at night. Neon is the
red and black is the shadows, the numbers of rooms,
three flights up into the hall, or a smile waits,
or a tear. It's spinning, kid, make your play. This
could be it, and the dealers pay off in another way.
The man who wipes his hands in a bar apron
offers you one.
Speaker 4: You'd never been here before, You wouldn't say this was
the same place, mister, this time and night. Other nights,

Speaker 2: All right? Tell me what happened?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Russ walks into my place of business. Don't even
pass out how to do? Just ask for the cribbage room.
I give it to him because no one else was
in here. Maybe an hour later, another man walks and
asks for the cribbage room. I give it to him.
All of a sudden, bing bang boo, my guy, I
got a bleeding man and four bullet holes in my
plast look pluck, you see economy as one and another.

refuses to remember.

two years ago. Joe met me, gave it up because
I was better. Yeah, wait too, and.
Speaker 4: We could go.
Speaker 9: Rush was stand against the lamp post, waved Joe over
to him, invited them back into the old days. They
messed with it a while. Joe wanted no part of it.
Joe was the one who walked away strong Joe, because
he had you, because you had me. You know what
I did to keep it that way?
Speaker 2: No tell me?
Speaker 9: I long distance the call to chums in Chicago. So
if they care to know Russ Warner was loose here,
looks like they brought along a boot found Russ.
Speaker 4: Gotta be Lory. Go back to sleep, baby. The police
is leaving you mind letting me have one of those
cigarettes with her?
Speaker 2: Lot at all here?
Speaker 4: Like? Thanks?
Speaker 2: Why do you think that stuff will be coming over
the tone type in Chicago?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: That I stand by. Now there it comes h Russ's
Warner arrested for assault nineteen thirty five I saw with
deadly weapon nineteen thirty seven, assault with deadly weapon nineteen forty,
released all three counts for lack of evidence known associated
with Martin.
Speaker 2: What's the trouble.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the trouble is with tellt me
just stopped sending.
Speaker 2: You almost play games with each other like that's probably
officer Westfall in Chicago.
Speaker 4: He gets in front of a teletype machine tries to
make a drama. But what oh, here goes a known
associated with Martin Cato, suspected policy rackets. Well that isn't
a whole lot. No, no, wait a minute, No arrests
listed for Joe Hayden of Chicago. You know Martin Cato
left Chicago four days ago from New York City by
nineteen fifty two. Red convertible, Illinois license number y one,
six or seven. Just you check whereabouts in your city?
That's West Paula, he suggests. Sweet check someday when you
have title. Tell, I'll show you some of the things.
Speaker 2: He said over the telling, Thanks, officer, I don't have
the time. So another name had intruded itself. Martin Cato,
the name of the familiar sounds, a name bandied about
at crime investigations, on reform platforms and smilingly on the
lips of citizens who like to bet a buck against destiny.
Martin Cater was in New York. Find him, find out why,
find out why he was suddenly no longer in Chicago.
But in the rough vicinity of a shooting the night before,
he was easy to find. A red convertible, a big
grinning man whose face had been in the newspapers often
enough to be recognized anywhere. The policeman spots him going
into the Heath Hotel in Madison. Go there, be told
mister Cato was taking a suite on the ninth floor.
So right, nine flights up for a visit.
Speaker 12: H robing boy, Come on and put the drink.
Speaker 2: Oh you, My name is Danny Clover from the police.
Why what are you doing in New York? Kiddle? You
come to shoot up a man named Russ Warner?
Speaker 6: Tell me here because I like New York. Mister, don't
you try to arrange to do things you like? Mister,
you're just tearing a visitor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6: In three years, I have an ice skater and Rockefella senter.
I'm going shopping for blades today. Where's a nice place
to shop?
Speaker 4: Rots? Rots, don't be crazy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Russ Rus? Can you hear me? What he got
under his coat? It looked like he was not for
a hurt. Russ Warner is dead, murdered.
Speaker 3: You are listening to Broadways My Beach, written by Martin
Fine and David Freakin and starring Larry Thorr as Detective
Danny Clover. Like old Man River the comedy jes keeps
rolling along every Sunday night. When CBS Radio presents Amos
Sinandi Tomorrow night over most of these same stations, the
Kingfish is sure to be up to his usual monkey business,
and it's sure to make a monkey out of gullible
Andy Brown, listen for yourself. Don't let one minute of
the fun get away. Tomorrow and every Sunday night it's
CBS Radios two and only Amos Sinandi. When it's winter
and the chill wind puffs down from the river, Broadway
is a place of regret. The new dreams made for
the New Years show their first praying. The golden girls
are wrapped in fur coats somebody else could afford. It's
the time of the galosh, the noisy radiator, and the
cold andoleum on the bare feet. The mornings are filled
with the numbing hours and dead cigarettes in the bottom
of paper cups.
Speaker 2: It's January. It's now time, wool muffler time, the time
to be on speaking terms with relatives. In Miami Beach,
there was a winter's room where I was chilled by
the touch of a man, newly dead, man named Russ
Warner standing over him. Another a resident of Chicago newly arrived,
the big man in the handsome clothes, the hoodlum called Cato,
called Martin Cato.
Speaker 6: One thing you had to be sure of, mister twisted
anyway you like, I didn't chill let all.
Speaker 4: You were right here when he walked in. You know
as much about it.
Speaker 2: As I do. Ah. No, I don't what he been
doing all day, Kato? What he been doing? Alldy Kato
sleep all day? Huh.
Speaker 4: I'm noted for it.
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you something unless you show me
how I'm wrong. I'm booking you for suspicion of murder.
Speaker 4: And you think he did naked stick. I didn't say that.
Speaker 2: I said, I'm going to book here for suspicion, and
I'm going to tell you what. I suspect that you
shot Russ a little while ago and left him for dead.
Only he didn't die. He came up here to get you.
Speaker 4: Cato wearing a gun.
Speaker 2: I'll see. Yeah, yeah he is.
Speaker 4: That makes it pretty tough for me.
Speaker 2: I don't know how tough it makes it, Kato. Look,
I don't want to repeat myself. It's a thing about suspicion,
that murder all over again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to hear a story.
Speaker 2: That's up to you.
Speaker 4: Russ worked for me in Chicago, ran errands for me.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty thrilling story. That's a minute. Let me
tell you about it. Hurry up.
Speaker 6: I send Russ and an errand for me to buy
something worth a hundred thousand dollars by what yet?
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't remember. He had one hundred grand of
mine and he.
Speaker 2: Ran and you chased him, caught up with him.
Speaker 6: I caught him in the back groom with that bombis
and teased him, all right. I put a slug in
his shoulder, just to tell him the reason I came
to New York to let him know I want my dog.
I didn't kill him. I'm glad you told me all that. Cato,
you can't book me on suspicion of murders.
Speaker 2: Assault with a deadly weapon. Let's try that one. Huh.
You won't argue that one, will you, Thanks, Cato.
Speaker 12: Shrimp Boats is to come and make come and tonight.
Speaker 2: Swimp boats is a coming.
Speaker 12: Oh, come and tonight. I want to hurry hurry hurry home,
old happy.
Speaker 4: You know, good question.
Speaker 12: Hurry hurry hurry home, Hurry hurry home. Heasable yible.
Speaker 2: What makes you so happy?
Speaker 12: Questions questions, questions, Danny, I'm.
Speaker 2: Surprised at you, all right, but I still don't know
what makes you so happy?
Speaker 12: Well, doesn't the stick out all over me?
Speaker 4: Then?
Speaker 12: Doesn't it stick out?
Speaker 7: I'm happy because one of the nation's major hoodooms, Martin
Cato by name, is.
Speaker 12: In now beating his head against the walls of our
local pokey true or false?
Speaker 2: True?
Speaker 12: Correct?
Speaker 4: And is it not?
Speaker 7: Also through communications has been flipping its lid with the song.
Speaker 12: Of the teletype from our Chicago way.
Speaker 7: There is such a to do to wit that. From
the years nineteen forty five through forty eight, the newly
deceased russ Wana was married to one Lauri Croft, also
of Shy Laurie, the same Laurie who in the summer
of forty eight divorced said russ Wana and in the
winter promised to love on obey and alibi for one
Joe Hayden, The same Joe Hayden who last week beat
up russ Wana.
Speaker 2: Tell Margavan Gino telling me be downstairs with a squad.
Speaker 7: Car cause without saying Danny, the effects of russ Wana
were gathered sort of microscope Danny, No. One hundred grand
was found, Margavin, doesn't that you get a squad car?
Speaker 12: Meet Lieutenant Clover downstairs?
Speaker 13: That is all?
Speaker 2: Wait here, Magavon.
Speaker 4: Okay, you sure you don't worry about it?
Speaker 2: If I need you, I'll be the first to let
you know.
Speaker 9: Oh don't I remember you from out of some deep sleep?
Speaker 2: Sure you do. I want Joe missus d doesn't everybody
see in there?
Speaker 9: If he was, I'd go to a headshrinker. Have my
head bumps examined for recurrent dreams about a man who
is in fave.
Speaker 2: I'll take a look.
Speaker 9: I'll let you do that, even if you don't tick
on my nose with a warrant. I'll make myself thin
so you can pass through the door without us test.
Thanks you did, am I surprise? Two rooms? Make it
two and a half. Help yourself.
Speaker 2: Where is he?
Speaker 9: What he told me while running his hands through my hair,
pulling it back to my face, be was he was
all of a sudden cold out of town. I think
I should believe in man. When he tells me like that,
tell you where he was going? He had me enchanted.
Then when he says pack me a bag, I pack
it for him.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, I take out the cardboard suitcase, tossed in
his shirts, a few outer garments. Few on there, Doctor
West medium, so his teeple shine bright and pretty at
whoever he went to smile at wherever they are.
Speaker 2: Like that, he packed his bag, kissed him goodbye, and
never asked where a husband was going because I love him.
So maybe there was another reason.
Speaker 9: The girl has to have another reason.
Speaker 2: One hundred thousand dollars could be another one.
Speaker 9: A hundred thucks has a sweet son. Tellme I never
heard it before.
Speaker 2: One hundred thousand. Joe killed Russ Warner for Russ, that
tired boy.
Speaker 9: Russ had money like that.
Speaker 2: Look it away from Martin Cato, carried it around New York,
lost it to Joe Hayden, saddened his life.
Speaker 9: You think, no, you think what Joe made me pack
some bungles wrapped in old newspapers under the shoes. When
I asked him what they worry kissed my mouth shut.
So don't worry about a baby. You think my lover
boy Joe did that to me.
Speaker 2: You know where he is, Laurie. Tell me it'll be
easier for you.
Speaker 9: The boy rented a car from the U Drive down
the street. That's all I know. All he told me
sick police. Chain them to a wall. I'll walk back
and forth in front of them. Just tea sicken police.
Speaker 2: So get down to the corner and question the man
who runs the you drive at garage. Sure, you're told
the man you're looking for rented a car a few
hours ago. Here's the make, car and license number. So
thank him and leave the all points bulletin. Find Joe
Hayden and wait and get lucky. Picked him up in
the airport.
Speaker 15: Danny got off due the officer was waiting to meet
a friend on an incoming place.
Speaker 4: Spotted at me being.
Speaker 2: Hell there, get a squad car and right across the
face of a city. The sound you make is like
broken glass slashing against his heart. You see the terror,
silent and quick in the blur of crowd making way
for you. Finally you'll get there the airport. There they are,
Danny over there.
Speaker 8: Offer candles with him, Yeah to them, okay, off, she.
Speaker 15: Will take it from here.

He remembered how he missed a few allowances when we

last time I was here. You were surprised I mentioned all.

Speaker 9: What'd you tell him?
Speaker 12: Joe?
Speaker 9: What'd you tell him?
Speaker 2: Joe didn't tell us anything. He didn't have to tell
us anything.
Speaker 4: They know.
Speaker 2: They know how Rush showed you the money stolen from Cato,
how he wanted you to run away with him, how you.
Speaker 15: Rory, how you shot Rush, missus Hayden, that's what your
husband's trying to say.
Speaker 2: And you showed the money to your husband, Missus, and
told him to take the money and go away. You'd
meet him later. You packed your suitcase for him, but
somehow it slipped your mind to put the money in it.
Russ knew where the money was. That's why he went
to Cato to tell him, Lay, you just wanted me
to koy, didn't you? Then you would go someplace where
the money without me?
Speaker 5: Lolorry?
Speaker 4: Why Lorry?
Speaker 2: If you have trusted me with the money, I hadn't
done anything for you, I would have said I killed.

Speaker 1: What did I do?
Speaker 12: Tell me why I was wrong?

Speaker 6: Like Rush?
Speaker 9: He cried too by shot make cars?
Speaker 4: I cry? Baby?
Speaker 9: Did you ever have a woman had two husbands?
Speaker 4: Behind that?
Speaker 2: It's a street of sounds, this Broadway. The hissing of
the neon through the winter wind, the far away echo
of the girl's laughter, the rasping of light deep inside
the earth, and the other sounds, the sides, the whispered
please that no one hears. It's Broadway, the goddess, the
most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway might beat.

Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, the most interesting thing in this episode
was the teletype operator. And this is one of those
things that I would have expected to come up and
drag net and I don't think it ever did. Teletypes
were not produced by machines, produced by operators on both ends,
and here the officer helping with Danny recognizes the sort
of patterns and styles done by this specific sergeant in
Chicago in terms of the way he communicates. You know,
it's still very professional, but obviously he's seen a lot
of messages from Chicago and started to recognize, Yeah, these
are things, this is the way he talks now. Of course,
Danny handles it with the general disinterest he has for
anything not related to doing his job. But I found
it interesting anyway. And then we have a comment from
Dawn regarding the Larrymore murder case, but more specifically one
of the commercials referring to a radio show as a
life spreader seems a bit threatening. It's one of those
interesting situations with the way that language changes and involves,
because I think if you said to somebody in the
nineteen fifties and you film them and were about to
upload the video and said you're gonna go viral, they
would probably do that as a threat as well. Obviously
at the time they meant to imply that this would
spread goodwill and humor.
Speaker 9: There are some.
Speaker 1: Sitcobs that be a threat to say you were going
to play them, but I won't get into that. Lest
I accidentally and saw someone's favorite show. All right, Well,

Speaker 10: Just what I read in the morning paper. They said
he broke out of San Quentin, another man with him.
It's true Anny did break up.
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 11: That's the information we have. Is an all points bulleting
out on him.
Speaker 10: Well, I don't want to get involved in it.
Speaker 9: My business.
Speaker 10: Andy doesn't mean anything to me.
Speaker 11: Well, at the time he was set up, you were
engaged to Powell.
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 10: Yes, But that was before he got into trouble, before
he went to sam Quentin. I saw him after the trial.
I told him how I felt about it. I told
him wasn't any.
Speaker 11: Use and he called it off, that it wasn't.
Speaker 10: Much else to do. It was robbery. Five years to lie.
It wasn't the first time either. Andy knew it'd be
a long time, so Die, really, I had to tell
him I had to call it off.
Speaker 4: We understand you were on Powell's correspondence list while he
was up at Quenton.
Speaker 11: He wrote to Hi vidit.
Speaker 10: Yes, the first couple of months. We haven't written lately though.
It wasn't any point to it, no point at all.
Speaker 4: Well, when was the last time you heard from poulll
Miss Thompson, last time you wrote to him?
Speaker 10: Oh? Eight or ten months least? That. As I say,
there wasn't much sense in going on, and he knew
he was in there for a long time. He couldn't
expect me to wait all that time. Matter of fact,
he said he didn't expect it.
Speaker 2: He told me that you've been up.
Speaker 11: To visit poul recently, Miss Thompson.
Speaker 10: No, No, I haven't well and.
Speaker 11: You haven't seen him since he went up to Quenton.
You'll swear to that.
Speaker 10: Why do I have to swear to it? I already
told you Andy doesn't mean anything to me, didn't make sense,
it's all over. I'm not even a relative. Why do
I have to swear to anything.
Speaker 11: You haven't seen Poe since you went up to Quintain.
That right, Miss Thompson? Is that right?
Speaker 10: What if I saw him? If I didn't see what
difference does it make? It's none of my business?
Speaker 11: Or did you say, miss Thompson, what difference does it make?
