From December one, nineteen fifty, here is the Kenneth Mitchell

13
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:18,480
murder case.

14
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: Broadways maybe from Times Square to Columbus Pickles. The gaudiest,

15
00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:47,120
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world, Broadways

16
00:01:47,200 --> 00:02:02,480
might be with Larry Thora's Detectives Nanny Clover. It glitters

17
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:05,760
on Broadway, a glimpse of pavements, the brilliance of steel,

18
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,800
the scarlet neon. It glitters, then shatters against the black

19
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,360
of winter's winds. Then the shrapnel of color screams winds

20
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,960
through the darkness, and you run through it. Yeah, the

21
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,479
fragments close to be pierced by the splintered edge of beauty.

22
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:23,719
Will they ride the wind? You look at your hands

23
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:26,360
that have reached in the shadows, find they hold a sigh,

24
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,919
the stain of a tear. Broadway observes you. Broadway laughs,

25
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:39,400
You pretend it never happens. Then, warmed by the touch

26
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:42,680
of the afternoon sun, Broadway relent offers you its token

27
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:45,319
of regret. The man lying with a knife in his

28
00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:48,680
back in an apartment on West fifty six, lately furnished

29
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,120
with death and another man touching things, flitting things, replacing

30
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:56,000
him quietly. Even when he talks, he is quiet so

31
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,039
that the dead may hear.

32
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: The car came while you were at to lunch, Danny,

33
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:01,120
I couldn't find you. They told me to take it,

34
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:01,520
and there.

35
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: Was the mugamm Jnneth Mitchell rented this place about three

36
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:05,639
days ago.

37
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:08,039
Speaker 3: Super told me he was a very quiet man.

38
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: Model Tennant.

39
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: Wished he had more like and find Anovan your boyman

40
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:16,280
to the quiet man. Some books, a few magazines that

41
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,560
two suits of clothes, the one he's wearing another in

42
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:22,479
the closet three shirts. When I came in, the radio

43
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,199
was playing some classical music.

44
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: I turned it off and nothing else. Yeah, something else?

45
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: Come on, I'll show you in the next room then,

46
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:37,439
Miss Danny, this lady, Miss Ruth Corey, come in.

47
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,919
Speaker 2: You were here when Detective Magaphone arrived, Miss Corey.

48
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,879
Speaker 5: Yes, I called the police. I waited. I didn't want

49
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,879
Kenneth to be alone.

50
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: Miss Corey told me she found him like that last

51
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:51,639
night when she came.

52
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: To visit him for the time. Last night, Miss Corey, I.

53
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,919
Speaker 6: Was to come back to Kennid at eight we were

54
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:56,639
going for a walk.

55
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,599
Speaker 5: I was late. How fifteen twenty minutes? I know, because

56
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:03,240
I didn't.

57
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 6: Want to be late.

58
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,719
Speaker 3: That's right, Danny, kids wantn't you stop?

59
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:07,919
Speaker 6: At eight twenty? Must have shattered when he self.

60
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: And you found him like that's the way he is

61
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,479
in the front room.

62
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm not. Kenneth didn't answer.

63
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:18,759
Speaker 5: Sometimes Kenneth fell asleep, just like that, sleep would.

64
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:23,959
Speaker 6: Come over him. I never woke in. I wait, just

65
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:25,360
look at him and wait.

66
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: Do you have a key?

67
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,399
Speaker 6: No, the door was open and I walked in.

68
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 5: I've done it before.

69
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: Didn't call anyone, ask for help. No, I had you

70
00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:36,279
wait so long as Greys Cory. I asked you something,

71
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,879
Why did you wait so long to call us?

72
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 5: Because I loved him, because I wanted him to myself

73
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,240
for as long as it.

74
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 6: Because we never had very much.

75
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: Time for an instant time for that restared at each other.

76
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,000
Because I'm all in touch with far away sounds, sudden recognition,

77
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,240
the girl, her eyes feverish, her cheeks too red, the

78
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:08,600
languid movement of her hands, the quality of sickness that

79
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,000
was forever part of Ruth Carey in the news sounds.

80
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,920
The men from headquarters who were the statisticians of violent deaths.

81
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,399
I went into the next room and nodded to them,

82
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:21,199
told Maugaman to get a doctor from Miss Carey. Then

83
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:28,600
I left. Inquire into the manner and cause of dying

84
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:31,399
of a man named Kenneth Mitchell. Consult this record in

85
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,680
that come up with facts. Kenneth Mitchell lived on West

86
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,800
eighty six feet. Kenneth Mitchell had a wife. Go there,

87
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:38,800
Just tell.

88
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 7: Me one thing, mister Kolbert. I want you to tell

89
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:42,360
me the truth. I don't want you to spare me.

90
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,079
I have to know we had a life together Kenneth

91
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,800
and NS Mitchell. Much of one I made myself suffer

92
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:51,480
with Kenneth.

93
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:55,199
Speaker 6: I thought that way we could be closer now that

94
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,920
the dang you got to tell me? Was that pain?

95
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 7: No, I don't think so, no pain, I said, they

96
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:04,519
would be. I've read about it. You're see in most

97
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:05,519
cases they think.

98
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,879
Speaker 2: Well, understand what you're talking about.

99
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:08,519
Speaker 7: Death of my husband.

100
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: That's right. He was stabbed at death, you said, I said,

101
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,879
I was a little police.

102
00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 7: He told me Kenneth was dead.

103
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 6: I didn't hear what else.

104
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: Stabbed it in an apartment on was fifty sixty.

105
00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 6: Dead, Kenneth no more done. They didn't know that.

106
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: Finally, you expected Kenneth to die.

107
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 6: I wanted to be there.

108
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 7: I made him a promise that I would be near him,

109
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,040
and the doctor told me he didn't have a chance.

110
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:41,000
I told Kenneth when the time came, I'd be with him.

111
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: The husband was that sick dying, And the.

112
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,519
Speaker 7: Doctor called me and told me he left the sanitarium

113
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,800
or sanitary the lungs the sanitarium on the river.

114
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 6: Kenneth used to watch the river, and I'd got to

115
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,000
visit him. We sit on the porch.

116
00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 7: Knew he used to love watching the river because he

117
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,040
never talked to me.

118
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,519
Speaker 6: Tried saying things.

119
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 8: After a while, I just sat there until the nurse

120
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:04,319
came told me to go.

121
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,319
Speaker 2: He said, your husband left the sanitarium, walked out.

122
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 9: Can you imagine him doing anything.

123
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:13,079
Speaker 6: Like that to me? Somebody was sick. He didn't know

124
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,560
what he was doing here.

125
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: She didn't know your husband was murdered.

126
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,519
Speaker 6: I should have been there, cheated me a bit.

127
00:07:20,839 --> 00:07:22,519
Speaker 2: Now, a girl named Ruth Corey.

128
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:24,319
Speaker 6: No, no, I don't think so.

129
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:30,079
Speaker 7: Where she lived, yes, ned, I would have helped told

130
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,000
him it was all right, not to be frightened.

131
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 6: Cheated me.

132
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: I couldn't get through to her anymore. When I asked

133
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:42,279
where she was at eight twenty last night, she said

134
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:44,920
she didn't know. If she really didn't know. Walking around

135
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,040
the neighborhood, she supposed she always did that at night.

136
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,000
I thank her, but she didn't hear me. So I

137
00:07:51,079 --> 00:08:00,279
left her to her own particular brand of Greek h

138
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:05,839
more lake work than the sanitarium on the East River.

139
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,600
Walked softly behind a red lipped nurse whose footsteps set

140
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:12,240
up an echo down the long corridor. He got ushered

141
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:14,759
into a small office and introduced to doctor Nestor, who

142
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:17,160
lights a cigarette from the one he's just finished.

143
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 10: And no cigarette companies asked me which brand I smoke?

144
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: Do you careful?

145
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:21,279
Speaker 11: When?

146
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:22,439
Speaker 2: Thanks?

147
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 6: Right?

148
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 10: Well, now that we've done the civilized things, what brings

149
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:29,279
the police to see?

150
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:31,959
Speaker 2: Doctor? Mister? We found a boy murdered several hours ago.

151
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,279
Name is Kenneth Mitchell.

152
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 10: You're talking literally, of course he was murdered, that's right,

153
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,320
stab And you found out Kenneth was a patient here

154
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:39,559
and that.

155
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: He walked out of you three days ago. Who's standing, Ruth?

156
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:45,279
How do you know? Ruth? She was a patient here,

157
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,679
walked out with kenned What happened? Kenneth was married and

158
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,200
so was Ruth Carr. They met here at the sanitarium.

159
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 10: They were lucky. They had one thing in common. It

160
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,759
would never change. They were both dying.

161
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: They fell in love.

162
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 10: The fact that they were already married is no concern

163
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,200
of mine. They lived over the small part of their

164
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,360
lives on the outside. Whatever they left there, they left.

165
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 6: They made that.

166
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,279
Speaker 10: Decision as the doctor. I respected it. I see, try

167
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,360
to understand it. Did Did Ruth kill it?

168
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,399
Speaker 2: We don't know. I'm trying to find out who else

169
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:19,120
for that motive? Have you seen Ruth's husband? No?

170
00:09:19,799 --> 00:09:21,799
Speaker 10: They live on Park Avenue. I'd have a nurse get

171
00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:25,360
the address. I'd seen mister Corey. He was the part

172
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,919
of Ruth's life. She left outside. Perhaps she was happy.

173
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:29,519
Speaker 6: She did.

174
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: Look you over, Danny's over. You guys have names. It's

175
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,759
a revelation to me. Loud mouths, loud feet that I

176
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:50,200
know about. I told you I want to talk to

177
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,759
missus Corey, you too, show you Come on. I'll take

178
00:09:53,799 --> 00:10:01,360
you to Rusie and talk to her. Yes, she is,

179
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,559
talk to her. She's asleep, asleep. Want me to wake

180
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,240
her for you? You with the name, I'll do that

181
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,480
or sleep. Thanks, she got a big heart. Go back

182
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:12,679
to the other room. We stay here because there are

183
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,200
things I've got to do for Ruth like this, like

184
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,440
cooling her brow with a damn clock. But easy, so

185
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,000
she'll think it's a dream like this. I'll come back.

186
00:10:25,159 --> 00:10:26,960
He said, you wanted to talk to me too. I'm

187
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,240
a busy man running after money. Takes all my time.

188
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,879
You better grab me while you can. A man was

189
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,519
murdered last night. I know Ruth. She told me all

190
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,440
about it, how she sat up to the night with

191
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,320
him him dead. Didn't touch me at all, if I

192
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,519
remember right, I laughed, m I laughed. You can ask Ruth.

193
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,120
You knew a Kouneth Mitchell, sure, but never close enough

194
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,919
to touch him with my hands. He was sick, but

195
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,279
you knew it. M do something for me. Ruth's comb

196
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,440
on the dresser, Give it to me. I want to

197
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:07,759
comb her head here, thanks blank silk. I'm pure. So

198
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,639
you're going to tell me about Kinneth Mitchell. Sure, see, Ruth,

199
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,159
you see the way she is. Mitchell did this to her.

200
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:17,320
How she was on her way to getting well because

201
00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:19,799
I bought that for anything she wants, I'd buy for

202
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:23,480
she was getting well. I tell you when miss Mitchell

203
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:25,600
tried to kill her all over again, the doctor told

204
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,039
me there was nothing that could be done for her.

205
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:30,480
Thanks to Mitchell. Mitchell thought he had something in Ruth.

206
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:32,840
I don't know what. Maybe a sick man likes to

207
00:11:32,919 --> 00:11:37,039
rub a piece of life whenever he can, even from Ruth.

208
00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:40,679
That's what made me laugh when she told me he

209
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:45,360
was dead. Yeah, that's it, because nothing belongs to me.

210
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,919
Mitchell was murdered last night. You'll tell me where you were.

211
00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:52,559
It took you a long time, didn't it. I was

212
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,600
with my lawyer, go ask I pay him fat to

213
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,519
handle things like this, what lawyer or Gordon Horner twelve,

214
00:11:57,639 --> 00:12:01,120
nineteen sixtieth. He handles my money, he handles my alibis.

215
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:20,679
Oh shut the door asaff when you go out. Huh,

216
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,759
that's what is it? My name is Danny Clover from

217
00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:25,960
the police. What about it?

218
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,519
Speaker 9: The cap and the V said it's all right if

219
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:29,039
I packed my car of a night in front of

220
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,120
the house. I've been doing it for a year. Cops

221
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,120
started to talk to each other. Before you're in door,

222
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,159
doll there's a matter with you.

223
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:38,759
Speaker 2: Are you through talking? Must be news? Your name Horner?

224
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,279
Here it is Walter Corey told me to look.

225
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,879
Speaker 9: Up mister Curry did then why don't you come in.

226
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: In here? Told me? Mister Curry said, so imagine all.

227
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 9: That turk outside, or it's cold and there's a fire

228
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,080
patient here, and.

229
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,759
Speaker 2: That's what is your job with? Mister Corey there his lawyer.

230
00:12:56,879 --> 00:12:58,720
How long you've been working for him? Is the minute?

231
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 9: He made a million dollars one one pm at the

232
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:06,080
Curve Exchange in Wall Street, December twelfth, nineteen thirty.

233
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: Eight, tweet futures.

234
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 9: I introduced myself and he said you're hired as they

235
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,279
pay your well. I'm going to ford my whims. That's

236
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,679
more than most men can say.

237
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 2: Would you lie for him? I have, and we'll even

238
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,120
if it concerns murder. And let me think about that

239
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:22,679
for a moment.

240
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 9: There's a dot board you can throw dot.

241
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,039
Speaker 2: Let me think, would you like that?

242
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 9: Would you just rather stare at that interesting dot?

243
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:32,279
Speaker 2: Get off it on him?

244
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 9: I asked your question, why wouldn't I give a concerned murder?

245
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,399
Speaker 2: All right? Did you see mister Corey last night?

246
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 7: I did.

247
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,759
Speaker 9: He told me to meet him at Grand Central and

248
00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:41,039
I did.

249
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:41,879
Speaker 2: We had about two week.

250
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 9: We spent about an hour together talking business.

251
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: I timed to meet him.

252
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:47,279
Speaker 9: Oh, listen to me, mister Clover. I don't know what

253
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,000
you're trying to get out of me, but I know

254
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,080
it was eight twenty. There was a clock in the

255
00:13:51,159 --> 00:13:53,320
window of the store. I set my watch by it

256
00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:56,519
eight two oh eight twenty.

257
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,879
Speaker 2: I guess that's all. Oh, you don't have to leave.

258
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 9: There's a game I'm make up for the dot for

259
00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:01,720
you didn't show it.

260
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 5: Huh.

261
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: Oh, well, there's always silent. The lawyer ushered me to

262
00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:14,159
the door, tried to take my hand to shake it.

263
00:14:14,919 --> 00:14:22,919
He never made it. Then the walk in the quiet

264
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,240
streets across sixties to the park, the dark wind sweeping

265
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,320
the autumn leaves, gathering them in the gutters at night,

266
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,320
walk down Park and passed Dorman putting lights and potted trees.

267
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,600
And consider molted at Alibi. Consider why someone needed a

268
00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:40,679
dying man dead his wife, the girl Ruth, her husband

269
00:14:40,879 --> 00:14:44,200
was going to buy life back for toward Grand Central.

270
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,720
Now the intrusion of the sounds of night.

271
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:50,679
Speaker 9: Metallic creeping of the leaves, the deep cry of steel

272
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:51,399
hurtling out.

273
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: Of the earth. Then another sound, sound of hair through

274
00:14:56,559 --> 00:15:07,440
flesh grips, and then explodes. It exploded a woman's scream,

275
00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:28,440
and you were listening to Broadways My Beat, written by

276
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,519
Morton Fine and David Friedkin and starring Larry Thor as

277
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:43,799
Detective Danny Clover. The wind comes up from the river

278
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,320
and twists the headline around an ankle, lifts it up again,

279
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:49,039
flattened it against the gutter, looked down at it and

280
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,039
stare not at the big one, the smaller one there

281
00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:55,360
almost burned by the cigarette button. Man murdered it, says

282
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,759
lean closer. Kenneth Mitchell stabbed to death. And apartment on

283
00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:03,039
what fifty sixth Street, and the part of it almost charred.

284
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:07,720
Officer in charge of case shots down, then trug walk on.

285
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:11,320
Tomorrow is another day. You'll spend it at the foot

286
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:20,279
of the rainbow. Sure, as far as I was concerned,

287
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,679
I had to consider the officer in charge of the case,

288
00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:25,360
the man who was dropped down me, and the two

289
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:27,159
men near me trying to help.

290
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,639
Speaker 9: Em in that battle to tag.

291
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: Bobble No, No, not that one, the other one.

292
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,919
Speaker 9: The brown one, Brown Bob Yeah, thank you.

293
00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:44,519
Speaker 3: Hold on to the edge of the table, Danny, go ahead.

294
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: Hold on, Just take it easy.

295
00:16:46,559 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: Look, Danny, a bullet grate. Just go be thankful that

296
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:50,799
you can still feel pain.

297
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:52,879
Speaker 2: Well, just don't hurt him doctor.

298
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,679
Speaker 12: Just hold on, Danny.

299
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,679
Speaker 3: Okay, bandage you have hand me the bandage, you know.

300
00:17:02,799 --> 00:17:07,519
Speaker 2: Bandage you you hurt much, Danny a headache, don't worry

301
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:10,880
about it. The scalpoon isn't very deep, you.

302
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 9: Know, Danny.

303
00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 13: This is the same thing that made Mike Strech, the

304
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:18,240
miracle detective from Philadelphia, bag headed time after time he

305
00:17:18,279 --> 00:17:19,519
got his scalp last days.

306
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:20,799
Speaker 2: You know my headaches? I told you.

307
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,759
Speaker 3: Does what happened, Danny, I don't know. Someone shot at

308
00:17:23,799 --> 00:17:24,920
me a half inch.

309
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 13: Slower and you would leave him alone his headache.

310
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 2: Scissors scissors.

311
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,279
Speaker 3: Okay, doctor, okay, you are a man who has been

312
00:17:36,279 --> 00:17:38,799
a half inch from death in a couple of months.

313
00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:40,839
When the Bobra asks you what that scar is, tell

314
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,359
him that tried to laugh about that.

315
00:17:42,519 --> 00:17:44,599
Speaker 6: Right to be, I'll get it.

316
00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 13: Gosh. Tag on the phone, Danny Clover, he's a no

317
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:54,960

Speaker 2: Give me the phones, you know, phone, Nykover speaking.

Speaker 10: Look, I wasn't trying to convince you how good I am.

There's lots of cabinet makers we all.

333
00:18:54,599 --> 00:18:55,599
Speaker 2: I'm from the police dead.

334
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,799
Speaker 6: Oh you got here.

335
00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: Fans told us you had something on Kenneth Mitchell's murder.

336
00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:02,039
How do you fit into Ruth?

337
00:19:02,079 --> 00:19:05,039
Speaker 10: Corey is my sister and as she was until she

338
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,039
married it. Hey, you've been hurt, mister. I got a

339
00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:11,359
couch in the back room. It's covered with sawdust. But

340
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,480
I could brush seen Ruth at the sanitarium a couple

341
00:19:14,519 --> 00:19:17,440
of times. I brought her fruit, magazines, things like that.

342
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:18,920
It was maybe a year ago.

343
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,799
Speaker 2: You haven't seen her since.

344
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,039
Speaker 6: No.

345
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,599
Speaker 10: Corey wouldn't let me, said I upset her left orders.

346
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,839
I couldn't see her. That's why I called you, mister.

347
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,119
Why you got to get her away from that man.

348
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:28,799
Speaker 6: He'll kill her.

349
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 2: She hasn't much time, mister. He'll burn it up so fast.

350
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 10: You've got to take her away from him. You people

351
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,119
can do it that. I got a little house at Seagirt,

352
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,079
a block from the ocean. I lived there alone. I

353
00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:39,799
can take care of Ruth, make it good for him.

354
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: Got to you've got You won't do it, We can't ten.

355
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 10: I forget it, forget I ever asked you for anything.

356
00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:51,079
Speaker 2: Question. I've got to ask you to hurry up, mister.

357
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,359
I'm busy or wearrior the twenty last night, the time

358
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,440
Ruth fun I don't know.

359
00:19:56,519 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 10: I was looking at the dead roller coaches.

360
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:58,559
Speaker 2: I'm cony.

361
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,079
Speaker 10: Maybe I watched the search forshing the dirt in the beach.

362
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,799
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. You knew Kenneth Mitchell.

363
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 10: No, and I'll tell you something. He kept my sister

364
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,640
from getting well. Makes me feel good.

365
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 6: He's dead.

366
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,759
Speaker 10: Take it, do something with it, mister. Like I said,

367
00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:27,079
I'm busy.

368
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,759
Speaker 2: It hadn't helped merely out of another suspect. Ted lawson,

369
00:20:31,839 --> 00:20:34,519
brother of Ruth Carey, a man who hated anyone who

370
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:37,920
could hurt his sister murder has an affinity for love

371
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000
and hate. Back at headquarters, I checked reports item nothing

372
00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:43,920
on the way about the Florence Mitchell at eight twenty

373
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,319
last night and Sundry other item negative, still in process

374
00:20:47,319 --> 00:20:49,839
of being checked. Then a phone call to the home

375
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,079
of Ruth Carey. She wanted to see me. She wanted

376
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,160
to talk to me, She wanted to explain things to me.

377
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,559
Go there, meet missus Fabry, a nurse assigned to Ruth.

378
00:20:57,839 --> 00:20:59,759
Not when she says it's a good time to talk

379
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:02,960
with mister Corey. Don't step that. Miss Fabri takes you.

380
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:06,000
You're a patient, rearranges the billows and smiles.

381
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,039
Speaker 8: Yeah, don't be depressed and refreshing.

382
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,559
Speaker 2: You look a lot better, Miss Cary.

383
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 5: You don't have to do that, mister Clover, I know

384
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:13,920
how I look.

385
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 8: If we don't like talking, Ruth, we don't have to.

386
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:18,519
Speaker 6: No.

387
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:22,759
Speaker 5: Please, do you think I killed Kenneth?

388
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: You could have an old prince on the knife blade,

389
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:26,160
but I.

390
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:28,799
Speaker 5: Could have read them all. I was waiting for a

392
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:30,599
Speaker 2: We know.

Speaker 2: I want to tell you this. Kenneth died at eight twenty.

397
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:40,680
The only one who has an alibie for that time

398
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:45,200
is your husband, your brother. Yes, he can't tell me

399
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,519
where he was when Kenneth died.

400
00:21:47,319 --> 00:21:51,759
Speaker 6: Ted can't killed Kenneth. Do you think he could?

401
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: Everyone can kill Yes, I know you.

Speaker 6: I love Kenneth.

403
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 5: We ran away from the Senate Drrian to spend what

404
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,319
time we had left together. We didn't make any dreams

405
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,079
or plans, just to be with each other, spend the

406
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,440
rest of our lives with a love that couldn't.

407
00:22:10,039 --> 00:22:12,559
Speaker 2: Grow old because I knew didn't killed it.

408
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 6: When I wept seeing him lying there, I wept.

409
00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 5: For myself for the first time in my life. I

410
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,960
was sorry for myself because now I'd be without Kenneth.

411
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:24,799
Speaker 2: Sorry, miss Cary, you didn't answer.

Speaker 3: I won't tell anybody.

422
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: You checked on the girl's brother, Dad.

00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,160

00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,119

427
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:41,960

Speaker 2: The philosophy comes with it. Huh.

431
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,279
Speaker 3: The bullet must have touched your angry nerve, Danny. There's

432
00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:53,119
several people with characters who won't give into winter. They

439
00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:08,799
maybe nine thirty. The witnesses will be glad to testify.

440
00:24:09,559 --> 00:24:11,599
When he left, they gave up. That's how they remarked

441
00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:16,759
the time, it's still late, just still should go home?

442
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,279
Speaker 2: You through? Yeah, no way, I'm sorry.

00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,759
Speaker 2: Over at jewelry store.

00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,480
Tell him the rast, Mogulin.

474
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:52,799
Speaker 8: Oh, hello, mister Clover, we came back, didn't.

475
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:52,759
Speaker 2: I come in?

476
00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:53,599

00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:05,559
Speaker 7: I don't think you, Mitch.

481
00:26:06,319 --> 00:26:06,839
Speaker 2: I'll be right on.

482
00:26:09,279 --> 00:26:11,839
Speaker 15: In other times, when painters tried to paint a scene

483
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,119
of vocal desolation, they chose the desert, eat the barren rocks,

484
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,160
and there would try the picture of man.

485
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: And his great lots to carry. I want to talk

486
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:21,440
to you.

487
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 15: But for a modern painter, the most desertate scene would

488
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,599
be a street in almost any of our great cities

489
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,920
on a Sunday afternoon.

490
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: All right, keep your voice down. This is she's sleeping.

491
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,799
I'll cover it so she'll be warm you murdered Kenneth Mitchell.

492
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,480
Mister carry hand me that brush, the hair brush, handed

493
00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:51,160
me my hair. Ruth likes me to brush your hair.

494
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:57,079
It's RESTful. Sleep, Ruth. Sleep and alibi your lawyer gave you.

495
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,799
It's pretty fortunate, wasn't it. Rude Mitchell was killed at

496
00:26:59,799 --> 00:27:02,920
eight twenty. You met your lawyer sometime after that arrange

497
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,200
an alibi because you thought we couldn't set the exact

498
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:09,079
time of Kennistaff's sleep, but we did his watch Brooklyn.

499
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,240
You were going to get better, Ruthe. When your lawyer

500
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:13,720
met you saw a jeweler's clock Saturday twenty, you thought

501
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,880
it was the right time. Your alibi was great, Ruth.

502
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,079
We'll do all the places you wanted to go under

503
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,319
arrest stegory for murder, for attempting to murder me, do

504
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,319
the things you wanted to do. Ruth thought I would

505
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,960
see that clock in the window near Grand Central, but

506
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,839
I was only walking. I'll wait outside for you. If

507
00:27:31,839 --> 00:27:33,880
you won't have to go back to that must little roote,

508
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,160
I will take care of you.

509
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,079
Speaker 6: I've been waiting here in Tocober. I thought you'd call me.

510
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: When did it happen?

511
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 8: I was with her she died half hour ago.

512
00:28:05,839 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: Broadways Sleeping Now, the curious avenues of the night are

still only the sleepwalkers are there. Those who lost for

514
00:28:13,519 --> 00:28:17,559
dreams are realities that never come true. The seekers, They're sudden,

515
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:25,359
the huggers close of nothing. It's Broadway, the most violent,

523
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,240
best in radio dramas with Bibber McGee and Molly and

524
00:29:20,319 --> 00:29:24,000
Broadway as My Beat. Join us again Monday evening at

525
00:29:24,039 --> 00:29:28,799
the same time Mine Old Bot WHENPN presents Dragonts and

526
00:29:29,160 --> 00:31:14,799
Escape Welcome Back.

527
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: The motive for the attempt on Danny's life may have

528
00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:22,960
been one of the better ones that we've heard, where

529
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,759
they go after the detective Now it's not particularly plausible.

530
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,839
I mean, Danny would have to just happen to look

531
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,559
at the clock and have that sort of aha, you know,

532
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:39,480
Sherlock Holmes, or that moment of recognition. But while it

533
00:31:39,599 --> 00:31:42,319
might not be a rational thing to do, I think

534
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,799
that given the killer state of mind, it made perfect sense.

535
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:52,119
Now the deciding clue was really interesting as well. The

536
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,119
thing about the eight twenty time was not something that

537
00:31:55,319 --> 00:31:59,799
I heard of, but it was something that was favor

538
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:04,680
for advertisements and for many stores because it gave the

539
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,759
clock a symmetrical look and it didn't obscure the logo

540
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,240
of the manufacturer. But modern ads favor the ten ten

541
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,920
time because it's also submetrical, but it has a more

542
00:32:18,039 --> 00:32:22,359
positive psychological impact and actually it's been found to lead

543
00:32:23,319 --> 00:32:28,440
to increase sales, while having eight twenty appears to have

544
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:33,839
the clock face frowning, which doesn't actually do anything for sales. Now,

545
00:32:33,839 --> 00:32:37,480
the Internet is confusing as to when this actually went

546
00:32:37,559 --> 00:32:41,319
out of favor, because if you just did a Google search,

547
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,920
you would be told that this was something that only

548
00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:48,119
happened in the nineteen twenties and thirties, but actually dug

549
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,559
further found an article from nineteen eighty seven an actual

550
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,519
article where someone wrote in to ask about this and

551
00:32:56,559 --> 00:33:00,200
attested that he was seeing eight twenty an ass as

552
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:05,240
all the time, and the response indicated that it was

553
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:09,119
for the reason of symmetry, and that the ten ten

554
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,359
also served the same purpose and was used just as much. So,

555
00:33:14,519 --> 00:33:19,359
while there were shifts to ten ten for clock faces

556
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:25,000
in the nineteen fifties, both managed to coexist for some time,

557
00:33:25,119 --> 00:33:28,440
and certainly the writers knew what they were talking about here.

558
00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:33,960
I also enjoyed the scene with Tartaglia and mug Avan together.

559
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,440
The two rarely interact, and to be fair, they kind

560
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,599
of more competed for Danny's attention than anything else, And

561
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,720
you got a contrast between these two very important sergeants.

562
00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:52,920
Mugavin is the pavement beating cop who brings Danny important facts,

563
00:33:53,440 --> 00:34:01,000
while Tartanica often reports what others have found. He also

564
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,319
has this way of drawing Danny into more of these

565
00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:09,159
human interactions. Now, it might seem, looking at it from

566
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:14,119
that perspective that Tartaglia is a bit of a distracting

567
00:34:14,599 --> 00:34:19,639
comic relief that's keeping Danny from thinking about the case.

568
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:22,679
But the thing with Danny Clover is I think he

569
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,800
can really get some tunnel vision where he has been

570
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,760
looking at a problem so long that he can't see

571
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,239
beyond what he's seen. He gets stuck, and Tartaglia just

572
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,519
has this way of getting Danny to take a step

573
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,320
back and be able to see something that he hadn't

574
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,559
seen before. So I really appreciated how this episode portrayed

575
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:52,719
that relationship. Working listener comments and feedeback now and we

576
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,559
go to YouTube where Ryan's comments regarding the Johnny Hill

577
00:34:57,679 --> 00:35:00,280
murder case. I knew it was fanci as as soon

578
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:05,000
as I heard Howard mcnure. Ah, I appreciate the comment.

579
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,000
The thing with Howard mcneir is he plays a lot

580
00:35:09,079 --> 00:35:12,960
of eccentric murderers, but he also plays a lot of

581
00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:17,800
eccentric and odd people who aren't murderers. So I would

582
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,239
not make a bat based on mcneir showing up though

583
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,880
he has already played a few murderers on this but

584
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,519
I don't think that he was at that her Butterfield

585
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,960
level of always being the killer. And we have a

586
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,920
couple of comments now from Mechanics sixty six regarding the

587
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,079
falcon and we had talked in the episode the case

588
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:42,880
of the big fix about the end of every car

589
00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:46,400
being a Nash Mechanic sixty six rights, and then AMC

590
00:35:46,599 --> 00:35:49,800
gave us such classic cars like the Fishbowl on wheels

591
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,559
aka the Pacer, the Gremlin, the Hornet, the Concord, the

592
00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:57,159
Matador X and of course the Javelin. Well thanks so much,

593
00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:02,960
appreciate the comment. And he also writes I didn't realize

594
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,239
George Peatree was Da Markham from Filo Vans until I

595
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,480
looked him up and then immediately recognized him. He also

596
00:36:09,559 --> 00:36:13,719
played Charlie wild Private Detective, which I haven't heard of.

597
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,360
This was the first time I've ever heard handled the

598
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,480
adoption papers used as a euphemism. Well, that's one of

599
00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:25,880
those groundbreaking things on the falcon I will say fairly.

600
00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:28,960
Wild is one of those series most people don't talk

601
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,519
about because I don't think anyone has heard it since

602
00:36:34,119 --> 00:36:39,400
it first aired seventy five years ago, unless it's some

603
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,280
clandestine group of old time radio collectors who have all

604
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:48,079
the really rare programs not in circulation. Charlie Wilder is

605
00:36:48,559 --> 00:36:53,119
best remembered, if anything, as being what wild Root Cream

606
00:36:53,199 --> 00:36:59,400
Oil decided to use as its replacement show for Sam Spade,

607
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:05,679
Like Okay, We've got the most iconic private detective on radio,

608
00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:09,719
but he's got some The actor's got some political controversy,

609
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:15,760
the creator's got some political controversy around the suspension about communism.

610
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,440
So I know what we'll replace it with. We will

611
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,199
replace it with a private detective named after the product.

612
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,280
I can't foresee that having a problem. Although Charlie Wilde

613
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:34,000
did outlive the wild Root sponsorship, it's not particularly remembered

614
00:37:34,039 --> 00:37:37,679
by anybody, but I would be curious to hear how

615
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,079
George Petrie played the role. Certainly did a good job

616
00:37:41,199 --> 00:37:44,880
as the Falcon. Again, thanks so much, always appreciate the comments.

617
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,840

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

626
00:38:14,599 --> 00:38:18,920
My Babe, but join us back here tomorrow for Dragnet, where.

627
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 14: The mister and Missus was gone out ever sitting the television.

628
00:38:22,599 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 17: The three men broke in the side doors.

629
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,519
Speaker 2: That right, Miss Brooks, on.

630
00:38:25,519 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 14: The side door, I think. So, I was sitting in

631
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,079
the television boxing. I hear this sound. I turn around

632
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:33,119
and the three men they're right there in the room

633
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:35,800
with me. I thought I could scream, but I couldn't.

634
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 17: But do you remember what the men looked like, Miss Bergstream,

635
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:38,760
how they were dressed.

636
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 14: I don't know. I was so much being frightened. One

637
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,280
of them had a jacket on, I think the dark jacket.

638
00:38:45,679 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 17: The others I don't know anything else about them that

639
00:38:48,039 --> 00:38:48,440
you noticed.

640
00:38:48,639 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 14: They had mess all over their faces. I couldn't see.

641
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,000
I jumped up. I tried to scream, but that was

642
00:38:55,159 --> 00:38:56,239
so much frightened.

643
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: What do they do then, Miss Yeah, They.

644
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 14: Put the cloth all around my mouth so I couldn't

645
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:03,159
make noise. Then I tied my hands in my feet

646
00:39:03,159 --> 00:39:05,360
and they put me in the closet. Down there, you

647
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,239
smiled the hoy I was kicking and hitting at them.

648
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 2: Had you ever seen any of the men before, Miss

649
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,239
bur never before?

650
00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 17: Do you think you'd know any of the men if

651
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:14,719
you saw them again.

652
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 14: I shouldn't be sure one of them, maybe I might

653
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:18,440
know him.

654
00:39:18,559 --> 00:39:20,119
Speaker 17: Well, what do you mean did?

655
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:21,599
Speaker 14: It was very quick?

656
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,639
Speaker 1: Hope you'll be with us then In the meantime, send
