here is the Laura Burton murder Case.

15
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: Broadways My Beat from Times Square to Columbus Circle. The gaudiest,

16
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:46,640
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

17
00:01:47,439 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: Broadways My Beat with Larry Thori as Detective Danny Clover.

18
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 4: Broadway.

19
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: It's the Neon Avenue of Beggars, the gleaming Alley where

20
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:14,919
you dart and search and revel in the blaze of fury.

21
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,919
You sidestep the gutters of night, try to close your

22
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,039
heart against the carnival scream that rises high above Broadway, shatters,

23
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,360
then prowls through the city. But it's no good. It

24
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:33,560
holds you close, But at the waterfront it releases you,

25
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:36,120
hands you over to other sounds. The voices of the river,

26
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:38,719
the waking wind that has slept in the sea, the

27
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:41,479
siren wind that clears the way for morning and for death.

28
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,599
Beckons you up the protesting stairs of a waterfront hotel,

29
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:48,439
opens a door and invites you to consider.

30
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 5: A dead girl.

31
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: She sits sprawl on the floor, her head resting on

32
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,879
the edge of the bed, her eyes gray like mirrors

33
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:57,000
reflecting the gray of the sea through the open window.

34
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,000
Detective mugamna. Let you absorb it, get your fill of it.

35
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,240
Than hands you a cigarette, why, Danny, thanks?

36
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 6: If you want coffee, the manager's perking some down the hall.

37
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,680
It's very friendly, he said. While I waited, I could strangle. Yeah,

38
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,479
it was a cord off a robe man's bathrobe. I'd say,

39
00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:15,800
where's the rest of it? Couldn't find it, Danny, I've

40
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,759
been all over the killer cut it in half. Thrifty

41
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,960
type killer, half a bathrobe court, very thrifty.

42
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:23,719
Speaker 2: Who found her? The manager, the friendly one.

43
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 6: Yeah. A husband and wife registered here earlier this morning.

44
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:29,319
Husband woke manager out of a sweet dream, told him

45
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:31,080
to bring breakfast to his wife in a half an hour.

46
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:34,800
The manager did, but she wasn't hungry. She was that way,

47
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:37,159
so the manager ate the breakfast himself.

48
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: You said her husband.

49
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, Robert Burton. Husband registered here last night with his wife,

50
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,000
Laura Burton. No baggage, you paid in advance. You're not reacting, Danny.

51
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: You said something.

52
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, I did, I said Laura Burton. You didn't react.

53
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,439
Speaker 2: She dies different from other people.

54
00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 4: He'sy, Danny.

55
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:55,639
Speaker 6: I only meant it's funny. You haven't heard about Laura Burton.

56
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,159
You know the heiress. Daddy made millions of baby food

57
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:04,039
in watering places, educated by counts and dukes and ski instructors,

58
00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:06,479
married a few of them. Funny, I haven't heard.

59
00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:07,479
Speaker 2: Where's her husband?

60
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 6: I told you he ordered a breakfast, took a walk,

61
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,319
fed a seagull. That's the last anyone saw him. He

62
00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:14,400
was talking to a seagull.

63
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: What's the matter with you?

64
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,319
Speaker 6: All that money? Park Avenue Mansion? She dies like this

65
00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:24,160
in a place like.

66
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,519
Speaker 2: This, Muggovn said it, and I shrugged and over Muggvn's

67
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:31,519
shouldern Through the window, I could see the early morning

68
00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:34,680
mist rise frostily from the river, the tugboat and a

69
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,480
man leaning over its side, And suddenly the sun was out,

70
00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:41,279
striking glints on the water. Daytime. It just entered the

71
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:51,480
port of New York. Laura Burton, Heiress Laura Burton, strangled

72
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,720
in a dollar a night hotel. Find out why go

73
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,600
to the Park Avenue address at Laura Burton be suitably

74
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,000
impressed by the paneled oak doors, the music chimes. The

75
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,879
butler who took my badge and placed it on a

76
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,199
silver tray, disappeared, then returned and gave it back to

77
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,800
me between his thumb and forefinger, and told me to sit.

78
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,480
Then fifteen minutes of considering the seventeenth century tapestries and

79
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:17,000
wondering how George killed such a big dragon was such

80
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,680
a small sword, And just as I was about to

81
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,720
figure it, someone tapped me on the shoulder and I

82
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:23,680
had to leave George to his own devices.

83
00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 7: You like tapestries, not especially, I was just because if

84
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,319
you did, I've got some in this study.

85
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 8: They would make your back teeth rather.

86
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: Some other time maybe right now.

87
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 8: You're a policeman, aren't you?

88
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: What?

89
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 8: Policeman?

90
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,759
Speaker 2: Clover Danny Clover Homicide.

91
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 8: I'm Muriel Carlson. What can I do for you?

92
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:43,319
Speaker 2: I asked to see Robert Burton, Laura Burton's husband.

93
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,079
Speaker 8: And you're from homicide. That's right one. Who did Robert murder?

94
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: You just want to talk to him. We're not sure

95
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,399
he committed murder.

96
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 8: Miscus what it's possible that he did? Did he kill Laura?

97
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: Laura is dead?

98
00:05:55,079 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 8: Shot, strangled, beaten, poison strangled.

99
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 7: Finally asked, because while I'm laura assistant, if any of

100
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,240
my friends asked me how Lara.

101
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 8: Died, I can tell you.

102
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,879
Speaker 2: I saw your sister's dying, doesn't he.

103
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 8: Oh it's much more than that, mister Clover.

104
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 6: It's release.

105
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 7: For years, I've been wondering how Laura would die. It's

106
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,720
been bothering me. Now I can think of something else.

107
00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:15,879
Speaker 8: Where'd she die?

108
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,199
Speaker 2: The waterfront hotel?

109
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:19,519
Speaker 8: Then Robert killed her? Of course, I say, of course,

110
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:20,560
because there's no doubt about it.

111
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:23,079
Speaker 7: Lara was always running off to places like water front

112
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:25,439
hotels with him so she could get to know him better.

113
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:29,519
Maybe her own canopid furniture border. You know, I thought

114
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,319
Laura's second husband would kill her, not turned out.

115
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:32,879
Speaker 8: Her fourth husband.

116
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: Or do you know where will I find him?

117
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 7: Robert Robert the man with the muscles, man with a

118
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,560
flat stomach and the fat mouth.

119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 8: Robert fourth husband, Robert Stevedo.

120
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: Where will I find him?

121
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 7: I wouldn't know, But Robert could never get water run

122
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:47,920
out of his ear.

123
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:51,639
Speaker 8: Literally, you could just smell it. Am I being helpful?

124
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,120
Mister Clover?

125
00:06:54,199 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: Then mc glee at what I brought her couldn't be

126
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,399
held back. It bubbled up, spilled out of her mouth,

127
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,759
shaped itself into a girlish She tried to smooth it

128
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:03,800
off her lips with the back of her hand, couldn't.

129
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,720
Instead stroked her throat, arranged her back hair, watched herself,

130
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,199
admired her image in an antique mirror with her eyes.

131
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:20,639
Invited me to the same I got out. Then the

132
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,519
official the routine pattern began to spin itself out. The apbs,

133
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,079
all points bulleting on one. Robert Burton, suspicion of murder,

134
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,759
the inquiries at the waterfront places.

135
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 9: If you find a mister, send him back to me.

136
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,360
I missed, dear old Robert, my prince charming. I called him,

137
00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:40,800
find him for me.

138
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,839
Speaker 2: The waterfront buddies.

139
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:47,959
Speaker 10: Robert marriage something rich I hate Gilder Eh, she was

00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: The waterfront hiring hall.

00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:54,519
Speaker 4: You cann't, detective.

143
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,959
Speaker 2: We haven't seen him here since he married Mink and

144
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,000
Laddie Dad Robert's dreamboat. Come in the dead wife, live money. Eh.

145
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,680
Finally a man on the docks, a man loading cargo,

146
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,000
A man who knew Robert like he was his brother.

147
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 11: Like my brother. We loaded junk together. We dreamed together,

148
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:14,839
far away places and girls with bells on their toes.

149
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,560
Where is he hold up with a bag of gold

150
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,480

Speaker 11: We shared everything a room, old comic books, girly magazines.

Sometimes we shared our friends into.

167
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 11: Gladly just been waiting to be asked. I'm tired of

168
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,000
thinking about it in the loneliness of my room. Their

169
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:11,200
marriage was champagne and antique mirrors, velvet carpets. Sometimes he

170
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,240
and Laura would come down and share the crumbs with me.

171
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:13,919
Speaker 4: That was gay.

172
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,279
Speaker 11: Why do you need to know nice things like that?

173
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: Because we think he murdered Laura. He did crawl and

174
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:23,679
no good, No matter, Marty.

175
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,879
Speaker 11: You want the killer, I'll give him to you where

176
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:28,320
I'll give him to you, because that he shares with me.

177
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,080
He comes to me, he says, he's in a little

178
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,879
trouble while I put him up for a couple of days. Sure,

179
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:34,120
I'll put him up where in my room eighteen twenty

180
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,639
three West six. You know something, Danny. I'm glad you

181
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,600
found me, cross my heart.

182
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: I'm glad.

183
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: Come on, open up, Burton, open Who is it?

184
00:09:56,919 --> 00:09:58,039
Speaker 6: Police?

185
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: You got the wrong room? Op the door? No, okay, Burton.

186
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 5: Let's go be that easy cover you.

187
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,159
Speaker 2: Like, I said, Burton, Let's go.

188
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,399
Speaker 6: By Danny ro Burton along because he wants to talk

189
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:40,720
to us.

190
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:43,919
Speaker 2: Good sit down, Burton over there, Thanks.

191
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 4: Boy, I said, I should tell.

192
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,399
Speaker 2: All you got a smart lawyer.

193
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,919
Speaker 6: And he can afford it. How many millions does your

194
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:51,480
wife leave?

195
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:51,799
Speaker 4: Burton?

196
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 6: Seven? At ten? I never can remember. I get all

197
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:56,360
flustered when I mentioned that much money.

198
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 2: Why just strangle your wife? Burton?

199
00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 4: Oh, such a leading question, Fellas. Next thing, I want

200
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,720
to know that I enjoy it. Did you enjoy it?

201
00:11:02,759 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 8: Burton?

202
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 5: Thinking about it? I enjoy it because now there's all

203
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:08,720
that money, that's the pot that's enjoyable.

204
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 4: I didn't kill her.

205
00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: Is that what you lawyer told you to say?

206
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 4: Say it? He said?

207
00:11:12,879 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 6: If you didn't do it, my boy, he said, say it?

208
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:17,639
Speaker 2: How about that bathroom? Cord who's bathroom?

209
00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: Mine?

210
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 6: Fellas who registered at the hotel with your wife?

211
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 8: I did?

212
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 4: Fellas have been telling you police that for six hours.

213
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,759
Speaker 2: You got a pretty nice place on park, haven't you?

214
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Burton White pick a flea bag?

215
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: Saw that fella? The commonplace things? Laura and I enjoyed it.

216
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,639
I'm a different man. Near the waterfront Laura enjoyed it.

217
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: Okay, Burton, what happened?

218
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 5: Woke up this morning? Felt like a walk? Stop to

219
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:39,799
the manager's room, told him to send breakfast up to Laura.

220
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: What about the manager?

221
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,159
Speaker 6: He's an old man, Doctor Sinsky said he wouldn't have

222
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:43,840
the strength to strain.

223
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,879
Speaker 2: So you killed your wife, went for a walk? Is

224
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:46,679
that what happened? Burton?

225
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: Elia said, you might say?

226
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 5: Then even said the DA will probably rain me because

227
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:52,639
it looks like open and shot.

228
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:53,519
Speaker 4: I killed my wife.

229
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: Why'd you run? You hide?

230
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 6: Because he killed it?

231
00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 5: Because I came back to the hotel and saw the

232
00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:00,840
crowd and heard that Laura Burton had been murdered.

233
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,399
Speaker 4: So I ran.

234
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: What to do with the other half of the bathroom?

235
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 8: Court?

236
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,879
Speaker 4: Once you was strangled?

237
00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 6: With the one you used?

238
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:06,799
Speaker 4: The strangler?

239
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 5: All right?

240
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:08,639
Speaker 4: It was my role, but I did.

241
00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:11,759
Speaker 5: Why I do only use half the court because look,

242
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,200
why you're trying to confuse me.

243
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 6: I didn't kill her, but you're glad he's dead.

244
00:12:17,159 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 4: I'll take me back to my sergeant.

245
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: Mum asked you a question.

246
00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:23,519
Speaker 6: Back to myself, I said, talk Burton, talk, take me back. Sure,

247
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,919
take your back and get your confession.

248
00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:31,879
Speaker 10: Oh what is homicide court? Just came in waterfront call said,

249
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:33,120
tell claud to get down here.

250
00:12:33,159 --> 00:12:33,919
Speaker 2: I'm basically geno.

251
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:37,279
Speaker 10: Carl came through the DA's office. Danny said, you I

252
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:39,519
got a squad car waiting. You're gonna take it?

253
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,919
Speaker 2: Sure, Gino, that's all I've got to do.

254
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 12: I've been waiting for you.

255
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: Lieutenant. It's right down the alley, thanks, officer.

256
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 12: I was just making the beat and stopped here for

257
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:03,240
a drag and a cigarette. I mean, I was just

258
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,519
checking routine, you know, lieutenant.

259
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:07,519
Speaker 2: You stop for a dragon. Yeah, that's right, Lieutenant.

260
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,039
Speaker 12: Well, when I lighted up the light from the match anyway,

261
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:12,480
here she was playing there.

262
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 6: I thought she was a drunk, told her to move on.

263
00:13:15,039 --> 00:13:17,159
Speaker 8: I poked her. Maybe I shouldn't have done that.

264
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: This is the way you found her, just like that, Lieutenant.

265
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,639
Speaker 6: I figured she wasn't drunk.

266
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 8: I figure she was strangled to death.

267
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have poked it. I don't worry about her. You

268
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,679
know who she is. No. Here, I'll hold a flash

269
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,120
so you can see better. Good.

270
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 8: Hey see, she.

271
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 12: Looks a lot like that Laura Burton who was strangled

272
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,600
with a bathrobe cord.

273
00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:38,879
Speaker 6: Same features, almost identical.

274
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 12: Is that why they made such a big to do

275
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,480
about when I phoned in, Lieutenant.

276
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,039
Speaker 2: And I thought I had a kidder. You were wrong? Huh?

277
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 8: All that over and over?

278
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 12: They asked me, are you sure she was strangled with

279
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,559
half a bathrobe cord?

280
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 6: Sure, I'm sure. I said you were wrong about having

281
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,919
a killer, how Lieutenant.

282
00:13:57,759 --> 00:13:59,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was wrong.

283
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: You were listening to Broadway's My Beat, written by Morton

284
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,360
Fine and David Friedkin and starring Larry Thor as Detective

285
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:20,200
Danny Clover.

286
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: The election News.

287
00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: You'll hear it best on CBS next Tuesday, November seventh.

288
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,480
With its world famous reporter Edward Armuro heading up the staff,

289
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,080
CBS News will bring you the latest, up to the

290
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,000
minute returns in state and important local contests. Be sure

291
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,639
you get the election news fastest and the most accurately.

292
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,840
Next Tuesday night. You'll hear it best on CBS.

293
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,759
Speaker 2: Broadway. All depends on the mood you're in. You can

294
00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:58,039
be part of the mob and perform for the sightseeres,

295
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,360
or you can create a stir by strangling with a

296
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:03,440
court of a flannel bathrow. The latter case, you have

297
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,000
an advantage, Broadway performs for you. It hangs on the

298
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,679
ropes and talks in whispers and plucks its tongue about

299
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,360
the police department, the ray of sunshine the next morning,

300
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,799
the pure gold in an otherwise draft November day, the

301
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:20,200
sergeant to Taglia, who did remarkable things with file cards

302
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:33,159
with inkwells with pencil sharpness. Ah, what's the matter to you.

303
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,399
Speaker 10: At this pencil sharpner? Danny a veritable ogre of pencils,

304
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:40,559
choose them up and gives no points in return. I've

305
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,240
been waiting for you to come in, and I've been

306
00:15:42,279 --> 00:15:43,159
shopping your pencil.

307
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,039
Speaker 2: I'm here not you know well, you said you were

308
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:47,240
waiting for me. You guts something to.

309
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 10: Tell me, Roger, tell me, well, come of the matter

310
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,159
of the girl who was strangled in an alley. Her

311
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,919
name was Annalie Sisler, a name known most especially the

312
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,799
Precinct forty five for various and sundry misdemeanors. Go on,

313
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,240
technical ass had to be pointed out to you that

314
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:06,320
miss CISLa had physical attributes which were also observed on

315
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,080
Laura Burton, also deceased, such as to whip. Maybe the

316
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:13,600
killer strangled the wrong woman the first time because both

317
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:17,039
were blonde, both had blue eyes, both approximately the same age,

318
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:20,200
same height, same weight, both strangled, and both by opposite

319
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:23,679
ends of the identical bathrobe cord. You know, Danny, this

320
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:26,559
brings to mind a famous case which involved might Shrek

321
00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:31,320
the bald Head. Well, it was almost the miracle detective

322
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,240
from Philadelphia's ondoing Danny if he hadn't disguised himself in

323
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:37,200
the nicke of time as a midget.

324
00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:39,879
Speaker 6: Whip.

325
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,039
Speaker 10: The DA has released Robert Barton as a murder's suspect

326
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,519
since he was in the pokey at the time of

327
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:47,399
the murder of Miss Cisler, and since the murder weapon

328
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,120
which killed Miss CISLa also killed Laura Burton.

329
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: Okay, what else?

330
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 10: What else? Is that Miss Cisler's last snow and address,

331
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:56,759
according to the records of the forty fifth Precinct, is

332
00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:59,919
the Kenneth MacManus Monsieur Powers on East thirty fourth Street.

333
00:17:00,759 --> 00:17:01,639
How'd I do, Danny?

334
00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: Great? You know I'll get you a new pencil sharpener.

335
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 6: Sure you wouldn't care to grab yourself of steam, Miss

336
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,839
the Color, Then a nice salt rub from the salty

337
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:19,680
hands in one of my expoits all in the House

338
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,400
of Courts, and you can get you so clean and

339
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,559
pressed while being kidded do we think of everything in

340
00:17:23,559 --> 00:17:25,519
this corner. Look, we got a lady's too, in case

341
00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:27,200
you got a wife or a girl friend or something

342
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,279
else on the pump side. But then we got home

343
00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:31,359
permanence while being cooked, the mold and pressing up.

344
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,799
Speaker 2: That's all of it get through.

345
00:17:34,279 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I can't sell yah. All you want is

346
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,880
what do I know about Anili Sisler?

347
00:17:40,079 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 4: That's all might did.

348
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,039
Speaker 6: Huh in an alley?

349
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,319
Speaker 4: Huh well, such a good way.

350
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 6: One of my best, Little Analin, and such demand by

351
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,160
whom ladies, fat lady, skinny ladies, happy ladies, sad ladies.

352
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,640
Little Analin had away with a steam cabinet. They always

353
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,160
asked for her.

354
00:17:56,319 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: She finished her work last night, punched her time card,

355
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,799
wave goodbye to you from the door.

356
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 6: That's right, She did all that just like you said.

357
00:18:01,799 --> 00:18:03,680
Oh but you got one detail wrong, mister clover.

358
00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:05,319
Speaker 2: She didn't wife goodbye wrong.

359
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 6: Again, she waved, but not last night. Five months ago,

360
00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:10,559
she had a call from somewhere deep inside her. She

361
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:11,759
left my employed answer it.

362
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: You'll explain to me about the call.

363
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 6: It happens to guys like Lilanelie. She had a call

364
00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:18,480
to be a photographer's model. Nice clean, weight.

365
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: You wouldn't know where wrong again with.

366
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 6: Learoyd, a photographer on West tenth can't in they go

367
00:18:24,759 --> 00:18:25,480
you into his theme.

368
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 13: Mister Clover, my receptionist secretary said you were different from

369
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,640
the other people who come to study with me.

370
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 2: How much are you different? This much? Le Roy?

371
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:51,039
Speaker 12: I photographed those two police badgers. Yes, in my formative

372
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:54,200
stage when I was desperate, naive about subject matter.

373
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:56,039
Speaker 2: But now you're doing better, Holly right?

374
00:18:56,079 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 12: Oh much much has witnessed this mass class three miles

375
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,640
assembly line methods. Pardon me, try one from the floor,

376
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,079
mister Holmes, And this time we'll shoot it with films,

377
00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:10,440
shall we, mister Holmes, that's right, Yes, it's better with film.

378
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: Now, mister Clover, where were we you had a model?

379
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 4: Oh that's why you're here.

380
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,079
Speaker 12: You want stuff about Annalie now, you know, wonderful girl,

381
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,000
ordinary but wonderful in such a wonderful way.

382
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 6: The textures, the highlights, the shadows. Yes, we miss Annilie,

383
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:28,920
don't we, mister Holmes.

384
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 4: Of course we do.

385
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: Ever done our studies in a prison cell, Leroy, The texture,

386
00:19:33,759 --> 00:19:36,640
the highlights of man like you could do wonders you.

387
00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:38,799
Speaker 12: Mean because I don't nudge up to your questions.

388
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:40,839
Speaker 4: You do that to me, you'd.

389
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 12: Hold my camera, mister Holmes, thank you. Now look here,

390
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,160
mister Clover, oh, I'm not going to hit you. Don't fear.

391
00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:54,759
I'm just going to tell you off. Annalie Sisler was

392
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:55,799
our favorite model.

393
00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:56,799
Speaker 2: We've lost her.

394
00:19:57,279 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 12: We've mourned for her for five weeks now what five

395
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,680
weeks ago? She said she has something much better than us.

396
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,720
I pleaded with her, tried to bribe her to come

397
00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:07,440
back to us, even went to her apartment my arms

398
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,880
full of goodies. She slammed the door in my face.

399
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:10,519
Speaker 2: Her apartment.

400
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 12: Where is it nineteen twenty three is thirty second, top

401
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,720
floor in the rear. Wonderful subject matter, but you don't care.

402
00:20:16,079 --> 00:20:19,680
All you care about is murder, spoiling things, things like that.

403
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,039
Speaker 2: That's right as you can give him back his camera,

404
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:30,160
mister Holmes, leroy just told me off. He's thirty second,

405
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,880
top floor in the rear. The door opened. The woman

406
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,559
in the room, or back to your not hearing you

407
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,319
walk in. A woman intent on grubbing through the open

408
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,160
drawers of the bureau, finding things, holding them close for

409
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,559
an instant, tossing them on a pile of stuff already

410
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:46,839
on the floor, grubbing for more, then finally aware of

411
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:49,759
your presence, trying to still the greed trembling in her fingers,

412
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:50,359
in her body.

413
00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:51,319
Speaker 6: What do you want here?

414
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 9: What are you doing here?

415
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,319
Speaker 8: Spying?

416
00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: Get out, it says Miss Sisler's apartment, isn't it?

417
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 8: What of it?

418
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 9: She's got no use for all this now. She didn't

419
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,039
deserve things like this anyway, But you do.

420
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,759
Speaker 6: Yes, I do. All my life. I deserved them.

421
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 9: Now they're mine and you can't take them away.

422
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,559
Speaker 2: Let's have a look.

423
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 6: I'll call the police.

424
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,799
Speaker 2: I'm the police, and you.

425
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 6: I own this place. I run it, rent rooms to

426
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,640
girls like her, clean up.

427
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 2: After that gives you the right to steal from a

428
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,400
dead girl like her?

429
00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 9: Not stealing, only taking what you would have given me anyway,

430
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,039
if she'd known she's gonna die. Anna was a girl

431
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,359
like that, generous, didn't care about her things.

432
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: They're expensive, silk imported.

433
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,799
Speaker 9: Never had anything like that, not next to my body.

434
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:40,640
I haven't just watched her put them on sometimes. All right,

435
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,039
don't take them away, mister, she'd have given them to me.

436
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:46,000
I swear it, I swear it.

437
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: Danny Clover speaking, says Gordon Danny the lab come across

438
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,759
the hall from and then I have something to show you.

439
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,960
What a lady's slip you brought in the underwear? Gordon? Hello?

440
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,920
Did you walk around? Denny? Don't you ever smile? What's

441
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,799
on your mind? Gordon? On my mind? All right, I'll

442
00:22:28,839 --> 00:22:31,559
turn you. Why is it when the department is up

443
00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:34,759
to its neck in unsolved murders they make kissing sounds

444
00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:36,519
that John Gordon? You got something to tell me or

445
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:38,880
you just want me to admire you. Well, first I'll

446
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,599
tell you something. Then you can drop your chin in

447
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,240
frank admiration. Take a look at this slip. Go ahead,

448
00:22:46,319 --> 00:22:49,480
hold it up to the light. See what I mean.

449
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,359
I see a black silk slip, a real expensive black

450
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,000
silk slip.

451
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:55,279
Speaker 4: Feel it, Go.

452
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,279
Speaker 2: Ahead right here? See what I mean. M I didn't

453
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:04,559
see that roughness is thread. Something was sewn on that

454
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,079
slip and torn off a laundry mark, Danny. But you

455
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,279
don't know about slips. A laundry mark and a slip

456
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,119
sown here? Son Here was a French word, too sure,

457
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:18,400
and son here was a name, Laura. The stitches were

458
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,519
pulled out, but they left their pattern. Now you want

459
00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:31,960
to admire me, Danny? The Tagli, Hey, Gina, where are

460
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,480
you and what do you want? Danny call a Seaboard

461
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:36,720
shipping line, g know, get the doc foreman and ask

462
00:23:36,759 --> 00:23:37,559
for Marty Dixon.

463
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 10: Well, suppose they won't call Marty to the phone. Danny,

464
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,240
Dixon's just a steward.

465
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 2: That's what I'm counting on. Leave Warred tell them, and

466
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,640
Surgeon say, Robert Burton wants to see Dixon as soon

467
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,799
as Dixon gets off from work.

468
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 10: Roger Danny, and also we'll call.

469
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,799
Speaker 2: It was four o'clock when Mugavin called in adjusting the

470
00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:58,480
dark foreman of the Seaboard Shipping Line hand Marty Dixon

471
00:23:58,519 --> 00:24:01,039
a note. There's a few when his past five thirty

472
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:04,319
when Mugivan called back again. The quitting whistle had just

473
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,839
blown down the waterfront, and Marty Dixon had just punched

474
00:24:06,839 --> 00:24:09,359
his time clock to take him twenty five minutes to

475
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,240
get to Burton's mansion on Park Avenue. It took me

476
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,440
ten minutes. Robert Burton said he was glad to see me.

477
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,079
We could talk in privacy. Laura's sister was judging a

478
00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:20,200
dog show on Long Island, and he'd given the servants

479
00:24:20,279 --> 00:24:22,319
the day off to grieve his wife's death.

480
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,519
Speaker 5: So we can talk in privacy, Danny. But you know

481
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:27,400
what what, you didn't have to come back and apologize

482
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,599
for the rough way you fellas treated me. I understand

483
00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:33,279
these things. I didn't come back for that. Oh, got

484
00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:35,480
something in your mind, Danny? Tell me I can fix it.

485
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,680
I got nothing but money eight million dollars and change.

486
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,480
Eight million dollars, and that's what the tax is skimmed.

487
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:48,279
Speaker 2: Now tell me, Danny, I know who murdered your wife.

488
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 5: And you want to reward how much you want, Danny.

489
00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:53,000
That's besides the gold watch you already got in mind.

490
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 4: How do you want it? Em grave? Danny?

491
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,599
Speaker 5: And I'm matching gold cigarette case to anything because I'm

492
00:24:57,599 --> 00:24:58,559
indebted to your fellow.

493
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,079
Speaker 2: Don't you want to know who murdered your I figure.

494
00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 4: You'll tell me when the time is right. Tell me,

495
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,400
and let's forget all about it.

496
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 5: I'll tell you a fellow you did? You murdered your wife? Oh, Danny,

497
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:17,680
you know better? How could I have killed Laura? Same

498
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,640
guy who killed her? Strangle that girl in the alley?

499
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,440
Even the DA knows that. What's the matter? Is he

500
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,599
on your back for a killer?

501
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,039
Speaker 2: No matter of fact? It gave me permission to pick

502
00:25:26,079 --> 00:25:27,079
you up for murder.

503
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 4: All this magnificence around here make your head spin.

504
00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:31,799
Speaker 2: I fellow, you try to give me trouble before Berkner,

505
00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:32,519
rememberuld have got you.

506
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,519
Speaker 4: This time I get something better. I heard you've been

507
00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:40,480
admiring that tapestry, Denny. It's worth maybe sixty ges.

508
00:25:42,279 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 5: How would you like to use something like that for

509
00:25:44,079 --> 00:25:46,279
a bath and not worry about it.

510
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:48,559
Speaker 13: Like it?

511
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you?

512
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 14: Denny?

513
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: You would?

514
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you tell me? How do you figure I killed

515
00:25:57,519 --> 00:25:57,960
my wife?

516
00:25:58,279 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 2: Like we told you before? In that flea bag? Your

517
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:07,000
pal Marty Dixon wants to come in. Burton.

518
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 4: How come you're so good?

519
00:26:08,079 --> 00:26:08,319
Speaker 5: Danny?

520
00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 4: You stand here, talk to me. Here's some chimes. You

521
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:10,839
know it's Marty.

522
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,039
Speaker 14: How do you do things like that?

523
00:26:12,079 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 4: Fella?

524
00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:19,839
Speaker 5: Open the door for him, Burton, Yeah, I will, Oh

525
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,759
you know, I'm Marty Money.

526
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 4: You're real good daddy.

527
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: Hello, Marty goes on this way, Marty, the da is

528
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,759
on my back. I need a killer, isn't that right? Fella?

529
00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, that's the way it is. Moody. What does

530
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:38,000
he know?

531
00:26:38,079 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 8: Burton? That mean?

532
00:26:39,759 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: I know? Burton strangled his wife with half that chord.

533
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,519
Gave you the other half so you could strangle at

534
00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:47,640
Cisler girl and it all arranged Hawk at the da

535
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,359
and died Burton when it was obvious the killer was

536
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,039
still on the loose.

537
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 4: You know a lot? How is it that you know

538
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:52,759
a lot?

539
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: At Cisler girl had an expensive slip that once belonged

540
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,480
to Laura Burton? How long did it take you boys

541
00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:00,599
to find a girl at the same feature is Lauren?

542
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:02,720
I might it look like a killer? It strangled the

543
00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:04,400
wrong girl when he killed Laura Burton.

544
00:27:04,519 --> 00:27:06,039
Speaker 4: It didn't take you very long to find it, did it?

545
00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:06,319
Speaker 6: Mandey?

546
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 4: A couple of weeks?

547
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 5: Then you wind her and dined her. Oh I helped,

548
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,200
didn't I money, gave you my wife's cast off clothes.

549
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,599
You could give the girl presents like I love you. You're

550
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,680
making a deal with the cop Burton.

551
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 4: He likes nice things. I'm in a position to give

552
00:27:18,519 --> 00:27:20,039
him anything you want.

553
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 11: Me too, because everything you got I got half. That

554
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,119
was the arrangement he made when we started this thing.

555
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,799
Speaker 4: Clover, When did all this happen? Marty? It happened, And that's.

556
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 11: The way it is.

557
00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:33,279
Speaker 5: I didn't sign anything. I don't remember doing that anyway.

558
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:36,119
You're a murderer, man, in my position can't have any

559
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,960
truck with murderers. And that's why I'm giving you to

560
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:38,400
the cop.

561
00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 11: You know, when I got a message this afternoon, I

562
00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:44,480
figured something to go on sour, so I brought a friend, Marty.

563
00:27:44,759 --> 00:27:46,519
Speaker 4: Don't be crazy.

564
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,759
Speaker 11: Clover, don't go for your gun. And I killed cops too.

565
00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 5: Look, Marty, we were having a joke, weren't we. Danny,

566
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,039
listen to me, Marty.

567
00:28:01,799 --> 00:28:04,599
Speaker 4: You don't have to rough me, Clover. Gun's empty.

568
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,039
Speaker 2: Let's go, Marty.

569
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,559
Speaker 4: Sure you want to.

570
00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:14,599
Speaker 11: Know something what I feel real good? I'm going to

571
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,440
the electric chair, and I feel real good. How many

572
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,559
men get the opportunity to die for half of eight

573
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:44,200
million dollars?

574
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,079
Speaker 2: In the minutes before dawn, Broadway lies huddled in a

575
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,759
dreamless sleep. It's the time of the long black night.

576
00:28:54,359 --> 00:28:58,880
No stars, the muted wind, and on the wind the

577
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,440
sly whispers. Start running, Kid, you'll never get home again.

578
00:29:05,839 --> 00:29:12,559
It's Broadway, the cordeist, the most violent, the lonesomest mile

579
00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:13,279
in the world.

580
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 14: Broadway, My Beat, Broadways.

581
00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:36,359
Speaker 3: My Beat stars Larry Thoris, Detective Danny Clover with Charles Culibert.

582
00:29:36,359 --> 00:29:40,000

So stay at home, play at home on Saturday nights.

595
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:28,599
Went over many of these same CBS stations. Dan Seymour says,

596
00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:33,759
it's sing It Again, Dan coverly speaking, this is CBS

597
00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:37,400
where yours truly. Johnny Dollar brings adventures Saturday nights on

598
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,759
the Columbia Broadcasting Systems.

599
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back, another good affacio. I do wonder with the

600
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,079
introduction of John Gordon if the writers are trying to

601
00:30:59,119 --> 00:31:03,480
get us to hate police Scientist as much as Danny does,

602
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,839
because this guy is incredibly smug and conceded, and I

603
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,039
believe he was on last week too, so he's quickly

604
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:19,000
becoming my least favorite recurring character. Landlady's defense that she

605
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,880
was only taking what the dead woman would have given

606
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,319
her had she been aware that she was going to

607
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,720
die is not something I'd try suggesting in probate court.

608
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,880
And I think she was looking for sympathy, but the

609
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:36,920
envy came through and that's never a good look. Also,

610
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,359
I'm teending to go through all the episodes and find

611
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:46,400
all the mix Shrek information provided by Tartaglia and compile it.

612
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,839
Don't know what purpose I'd use it for A last

613
00:31:50,119 --> 00:31:53,200
oddle curiosity is something I don't have as much time

614
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,960
for as I once did. All right, well, listener comments

615
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,279
and feedback, and we start with Sean, who just sent

616
00:32:02,319 --> 00:32:05,240
along a note thanks for all the great content. Thank

617
00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:08,440
you so much, Sean. And then we had a comment

618
00:32:08,599 --> 00:32:13,160
over on Spotify, and this comes from Peter, who writes

619
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:17,160
regarding the John Webster murder case, Adam was right about

620
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,160
the audio quality, but this one is worth listening to. Well,

621
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,319
thanks so much, Peter, and that tends to be what

622
00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:28,519
we found people have said over the years. Andrew, I

623
00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:32,319
think way back when his show started, maybe a year

624
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,279
or so later, he formally surveyed his audience and asked

625
00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:44,400
whether people wanted programs with lesser audio quality played, and

626
00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:48,440
the audience responded that that was what they preferred as

627
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,319
opposed to skipping those that were lesser. And I know

628
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,000
that it does get frustrating for some people whose hearing

629
00:32:56,119 --> 00:32:58,880
is a bit impaired and it's just impossible for them

630
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,839
to enjoy the program. I was actually hardened recently for

631
00:33:04,039 --> 00:33:10,119
A Harker, the president of SPURREDVAK, the Society to Preserve,

632
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:17,200
Encourage and Encourage Radio Drama, Variety and Comedy, actually was

633
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,960
able to do a restoration to a couple of programs.

634
00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:25,599
One was I think a somewhat obscure family comedy called

635
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,759
The Nichols Family, but the other was an episode of

636
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,960
Quiet Please. And these were circulating and poor condition was

637
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,319
able to get them to a much better higher quality.

638
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,480
And I'm hopeful that we'll see similar processes implemented, but

639
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,240
I suspect we will always encounter a few rough sounding

640
00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:51,920
programs just because most of them were not systematically preserved.

641
00:33:52,359 --> 00:33:55,640
All right, Well, now it's time to thank our Patreon

642
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,680
