Pillars of Society.
Speaker 2: Well now present the Big Story.
Speaker 3: You're ready, Mama's the store locked, just closing the back door.
Speaker 4: You're finished store.
Speaker 3: Busy week, good week, and the money in the valice
ready for the plazzan first thing in the morning.
Speaker 4: Oh customers, it's too late.
Speaker 3: It's not too late. Maybe you need something weight Wait.
Speaker 4: It's too customers.
Speaker 3: All two men, who is better than one? Come in? Gentlemen,

I wouldn't want to hurt you. Have I had to?
I would you want to the valise? Pop the valise?
But you're not rich, Frank. Maybe he doesn't understand polite talk.
Give me that Falice.
Speaker 5: Frank talked to the man so he'll be sure and understand.
Speaker 2: The big story here is America. It's sound and its fury,
it's joy and it's sorrow, as faithfully reported by the
men and women of the great American newspapers. Cleveland, Ohio,
from the pages of the Cleveland, Ohio Press. The moving
story of Justice and the guy named Joe Tonight to
William Miller of the Cleveland, Ohio Press goes the pell
Mell Award for the Big Story. Now the story as
it actually happened, William Miller's story as he lived it, Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 6: You sit at your desk, William Miller of the Cleveland Press,
writing the story of a brutal holder.
Speaker 3: A man and a woman, both.
Speaker 6: In their sixties, owners of a small dry goods store
on East one hundred and second Street, have been beaten
and robbed. The sum taken, two thousand dollars, represents ten
years savings for their kind of people. Their attackers were
kids one nineteen one, twenty one, to whom money is
the final goal, and to whom a storekeeper and his
wife are just two people in the way. You write
that bitter news story, and two months you're write with
satisfaction that one of the robbers was sentenced to fifteen
years in jail. The other robber was never picked up,
but you're happy with the one they got. You enter
his name in the back of your mind under the
category laos Joe mantell loos that done. You forget about
him until four months later the phone on your desk
jogs your back into remembrance.
Speaker 4: Mister Miller, there's an old woman out here to see you?
Speaker 3: Or who is she? What does she want? Wouldn't say
that's her name? I'm busy, Yes, sir.
Speaker 4: H missus man.
Speaker 3: Tell mister Miller and tell I don't know, oh, Joe Man.
Tell she anything to do with him his mother? Mister Miller,
what do you know?
Speaker 6: Yes, send her in. I'd like to hear what she's
got to say. Yes, send her in.
Speaker 4: You're very kind to see me, mister Miller.
Speaker 3: You read the stories I wrote on your son, didn't you,
missus mantell, Yes, I did.
Speaker 6: You know just how I feel. I'm only sorry you
didn't get twenty five years.
Speaker 4: I'm not a proud woman, mister Miller. If to get
to the truth, I have to scrub floors or take
a little insult. A mother doesn't mind that, mister Miller.
Speaker 3: Oh, look, what do you got to say.
Speaker 4: Joey didn't do it anymore than I did.
Speaker 3: Jury thought otherwise.
Speaker 4: Joey wasn't there, He wasn't near the store that night.
Speaker 3: You said that in court. What do you want anyhow?
Speaker 6: Man gets a trial, a fair trial, a jury of decent,
honest people find him guilty.
Speaker 4: What more do you want, mister Miller. I'm a reader
of your paper fifteen years. I like the way you write. No,
that's not flattery, it's the truth. You remember the Sullivan
Boy about eight years ago, mister Miller. He was found
gilly by a jury of honest people too, But you
wrote about it, and you helped prove that he was innocent.
The Ginsburg girl it was about four years.
Speaker 3: Look, look, I studied your son's case. The only thing
that makes me saw was that they didn't catch the
other crook, and your son only got fifteen years. Those
people were in their sixties, Missus Mantel.
Speaker 4: I'm sixty seven, mister Miller. At sixty seven, a woman,
don't lie. My boy was home in the garage fixing
the car.
Speaker 3: Why was he fixing a car in the evening.
Speaker 4: Because when a boy wants to make a new start,
he don't care if it's afternoon or eveninging. What Joseph Mantel,
My son was a bad boy, And it's a mother
saying that, mister Miller. When he was sixteen he stole
the car. At eighteen he robbed a candy store. So
of course any jury would say that at nineteen he'd
hold up another store and steal two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: And beat up the storekeeper and his wife. I'd say
the same thing.
Speaker 4: You see, the night of the robbery, he was going away.
I got three hundred dollars together. More like it's there.
You see, my husband is dead, and we bought Joey
a second hand car, and he was going away. I
was sitting on the steps that night and he was
in the garage fixing the car.
Speaker 3: What's California like, mae.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's nice, Joey. A boy could well, he could
find himself there.
Speaker 6: You don't know me, ma'am.
Speaker 5: I got two strikes against me.
Speaker 4: If he tries hard, he could find himself.
Speaker 3: Mam.
Speaker 5: Sometimes I think when they had it out luck, I
was out for a beer.
Speaker 4: Now, don't make smart jokes, Joey okay.
Speaker 5: They must have seen you coming when they sold you
that jollobby.
Speaker 4: It'll get you to California, and that's all I want. Look, Joey,
people in California never heard.
Speaker 5: It's not so easy. CoP's hurting me. Man, other kinds
of people do. I'll get yourself, but.
Speaker 4: You've got nothing to be ashamed of. It did your
time for the wrong thing that you did. You'll go
there and make a new star.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, sure, who knows, Maybe I'll be the next
Van Johnson. Joe mantell him home on arrange playing at you?
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 3: Joey okay?
Speaker 4: Man, tell come on, what's the met officer? What's happened?
Speaker 3: Didn't they tell you?
Speaker 6: No, you'll find out.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 2: The sergeant is waiting for you.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 6: Tell now, judge and a jury and I think there'll
be a nice, comfortable cell too.
Speaker 4: Now come on, that's the God's truth, mister Miller. He
was going away to turn over a new leaf too.
Speaker 6: Okay, missus Mantel, I heard you. If you excuse me,
I got a lot of work to do. Free witnesses
saw him.
Speaker 4: Maybe Joey was right. Who strikes against you? He said,
chances are break out.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, take that door out, William, Missus Mantel. I'm
not a charitable institution, but I'm not a dope either.
And that's all you close your mind to. It happens
every day. Every crook with a mother is innocent. You
go back to the real world of being an honest reporter,
and then something happens and you realize that you haven't
shaken the Mantel case from your mind because you.
Speaker 3: Write the story Smith. Yeah, why but the two guys
that held up the gas station told you I did
send them the manner? Oh no, nothing, just but did
you see the crooks?
Speaker 7: Sure?
Speaker 3: I saw them? Hey, what's eating you? Just sis?
Speaker 6: The two criminals Bud and frank Enright nineteen and twenty one,
in addition to robbing the attendant.
Speaker 3: Beat him cruelly as well. The injuries may prove fatal
because the attendant was a man well in his sixties.
So nothing. Just just reminds me of another case. Just
wonder if three witnesses couldn't be wrong, jury couldn't be
that wrong? Yeah, oh how could they? Smithy went jail?
Of those two crooks in Sergeant? Can I see this
butt hand? Right? Sure? It's a free country. What's the
point Miller? But I just just that I want to
make sure I didn't insult an old lady.
Speaker 8: H I don't know what you're talking about, But go ahead,
go as far as you like.
Speaker 3: I want to leave me in the cola. Will you?
You look like him? You know that? Don't you like
Joe Joe Mantel? Is he a boy who was set
up for beating and robbing a couple who ran a
dry goods store on East one hundred and second Street
six months ago? So what I looked like him? Did
you do that job? Don't be stupid? I look but
you're in a bad way. You may get life, you
know that. Don't you get out of here. I got
a right to be alone. You and your brother stuck
up that couple, didn't you.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we stuck him up and tipped the cops to
pick up this man.
Speaker 3: Tell what do you got to lose? Tell the truth.
Maybe an innocent kid is up for fifteen years for
what you did. My heart's bleeding.
Speaker 9: I got out of here, and leave me alone.
Speaker 3: What kind of jalus anyhow? Anybody can come and here
see anything he wants. Leave me alone. Mister Jenkins, you
identified this man as the robber of the dry goods store.
Speaker 9: Ooh, young man, I testified to that effecting court.
Speaker 3: This is the man, isn't it. This is his picture,
that's right now.
Speaker 9: If you don't mind that this is.
Speaker 6: Not Joe Mantel, that's right. This is butt End, right,
not Joe Mantel. But then you're not sure it was
Mantell who held up that store. I might have been
this man. Yes, thanks, that's all I wanted to know.
Is this the man, missus smothers?
Speaker 4: It certainly is. I'd know his faith anywhere he came
in our store as well.
Speaker 6: This is not the man your testimony convicted, Missus Smothers.
Speaker 3: This is another man.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness, that's terrible.
Speaker 3: You're sure I told you I didn't do it.
Speaker 1: We are you gonna leave me alone?
Speaker 3: And right, I've got affidavids from three witnesses saying you
were the man, not mantel from the storekeepers too. I
why don't you stop it? You're gonna get life anyhow, playball,
Maybe something can be done.
Speaker 9: I don't want any part of it.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a stupid thing to say about a little
thing like your conscience.
Speaker 6: About a little thing like that fact that this kid's
mother is sick to death. Because right, I swear I'm
gonna haunt you to you tell me the truth.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna rise right, shut up.
Speaker 3: I got a statement right here. I read it and
read it carefully. Okay, let me see it.
Speaker 6: Hell there it is Commission of the works, signed confession
by and right Affidavit's an error by the witnesses. And
now all you have to do is see the governor.
Speaker 3: Suppose we go slow, melone, What do you mean slow?
Everything's right here in front of your commission. Sure? Sure?
Speaker 9: What is the confession of a life termal word? What
did you are from the sign of sympathetic treatment in
your paper? No, Peter, little sentiment. The most crooks they'll
oblige you. What have they got to lose. That confession
isn't worth the papers written on? What about the affidavits
of the witnesses. What about missus smothers who owned the store?
What that they made a mistake that they said Enright
was Mantell? I could get them to say man Tell
was enright, or maybe somebody else. Maybe instead of making
one mistake, they're making two mistakes.
Speaker 3: What proof have.
Speaker 9: You got, real proof, absolute proof that would warrant our
reversing the jury?
Speaker 3: What this man is innocent?
Speaker 9: I know, I know an innocent man is in prison
makes a great story. But how does this one strike you?
A guilty man is a pardon? How do you like
that stime?
Speaker 3: Mantell didn't do it. He was fixing his car that night,
he was going to California. A jury thought otherwise.
Speaker 9: Twelve honest men and women as honest as you or
I they thought otherwise. You think you've got enough to
throw that decision away In the Sullivan case and the
King's walla, sure you bet at a thousand there, only
this time you might be betting zero. Nothing you've shown
me would make the government give man Tell a pardon. Nothing.
Speaker 3: I want proof, Meller proof. Maybe this will sound high
handed to you.
Speaker 9: But it happens to be my philosophy, the philosophy of
the course of this country. A jury has the last word.
Trial by jury is the pillar of decency and law.
You don't throw that over for a whim or an idea,
even because a smart reporter comes in and presents you
with something that indicates, maybe, just maybe something is wrong.
Think that over, Miller. Any time you want to speak
to me again, come right in. I'm honest, but I'm
hard headed. You'll be the same.
Speaker 2: We'll be back in just a moment with tonight's big story.
Speaker 6: Now back to your narrator, Bob Sloan, and the big
story of William Miller as he lived it and wrote it.
You walk out of the commission this office slowly weigh
his words because you're just a reporter, Bill Miller, a
reporter for the Cleveland Press. You think over what he
said that courts and trial by jury are the pillars
of our society. And you know he has a point,
a big point. And so as you move ahead now
you look for proof, proof that'll be important enough to
reverse the decision by a jury of twelve men and
women tried and true. Your first step is taken with
a specialist, doctor Thompson, an expert for the light detector.
You too, sit down with Joe Mantel, and as the
doctor gives him a test for truth, you can hear
his heartbeat.
Speaker 8: No, just relax, mister Mantel, if you please and answer
the questions.
Speaker 3: I'll ask you yes, yes, sir. Are you innocent?
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, doctor I am.
Speaker 3: Where were you on the night of the robbery fixing
my car? What kind of car? Was it?
Speaker 9: A Chevy invertible?
Speaker 3: How many times were you convicted before? Twice, both times
for robbery, But this time you're innocent, Yes, sir, I'm innocent.
I never everywhere, missus smothers. The storekeeper said you hit
her husband on the head. That's a lie. I never did.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't hit a man old enough to be my father.
Speaker 10: All right, mister man Tel, that'll do. That'll do very nice.
Just sit still in right. This is a lie, Detective.
Speaker 3: I signed your statement, didn't I.
Speaker 9: We gotta boto me with all.
Speaker 3: This four Just answer the questions.
Speaker 6: Nothing's going to happen to you, all right, mister Miller.
Speaker 3: I'm ready.
Speaker 8: Now, mister Enwright, describe what happened when you went into
the store.
Speaker 3: I walked in here, my brother.
Speaker 5: It wouldn't add over the money, so I took it.
Speaker 3: They had it in the little police and then you
hit him. Frank hit him. We wanted to be sure
they wouldn't call the cops.
Speaker 9: Then you walked out and we put out the lights
and then walked out.
Speaker 3: How much money was in the police two thousand bucks.
Speaker 4: Ain't got enough.
Speaker 6: Your brother says you hit him, and he's a liar,
a dirty liar.
Speaker 3: All right, mister enlright, fine, thank you.
Speaker 9: I'll do me a favor, Miller, get that man, tell
Punk out of jail and leave me alone.
Speaker 3: I'll try, buddy, I'll try.
Speaker 8: The tests Commissioner established in my judgment the Innocence of
Joseph Mantel, and demonstrate that bud Enwright was telling the
truth when he admitted the robbery.
Speaker 3: I see or what do you say, Commissioner, my detectors
of funny things?
Speaker 9: Tell me, doctor, how do you explain this chart for
wild beatings and vibrations during Mantell's testimony that he was
telling the truth. Well, he's young and excitable. Anyone would
have such reaction. Then they're not conclusive. He might have
had the same reactions if he were lying.
Speaker 6: Well, Commissioner, and writes, Chard shows that he wasn't lying,
not to me.
Speaker 3: It doesn't well, why doesn't it?
Speaker 9: Because check me on this doctor. The lie detector breaks
down when it comes to hardened criminals. I mean a
man with a record who over a period of years
has built himself up to lie evenly. Such a man
could fool a lie detector. Right well, there would be
some difficulty in such a case, read and writes record
Miller seven major crimes in six years, everything from smuggling
to assault to Washington robbery. Such a man is constitutionally
unable to distinguish between right and wrong.
Speaker 6: But for Heaven's sake, commission I still see a jury
of twelve people deliberating in a closed room settling fate
of a man.
Speaker 9: I don't see this kind of half evidence changing what
went on.
Speaker 3: In that room? Or what do you want?
Speaker 9: I want a reason, a better reason than you've given me,
for reversing a jury.
Speaker 6: You write articles in your paper bill alone, articles pointing
out the validity of your case. You call upon outstanding
citizens to rally around the innocence of Joe Mantel. You
bring support to your case in the person of the
most respectable citizens of Cleveland, and then you go to
see the commissioner once more.
Speaker 3: No, I won't change my mind. Oh look, this has
gone beyond the stage of reasonable doubt. Here are the
names of two hundred of the most prominent citizens of Cleveland.
Speaker 9: I was just as impressed with the names of the
witnesses and the storekeeper's wife. Size doesn't change this. The
importance of the people who signed doesn't change it. They
didn't sit on that jury. They didn't hear all the evidence.
Speaker 6: Well, suppose I got the juris themselves.
Speaker 3: Would that change your mind? How could you do that?
Speaker 9: The jury was empaneled over a year ago. A lot
of those people are who knows, all over the state,
maybe some out of the state.
Speaker 3: How could you get them? I suppose I did? What
would you say? Then? You really believe in this, don't you?
Just as much as you believe in the sanctity of
the courts.
Speaker 9: If you will get the jury, Miller, I'll get you
some action from the governor.
Speaker 3: Now you've said something, Bill Miller, You're going to.
Speaker 6: Get the jury to reverse themselves. And in saying it,
you've set a mouthful, because, just as the commissioner thought,
half the jurors can't.
Speaker 3: Be located easily.
Speaker 6: Some have moved out the cities, some other states that
you go after them.
Speaker 3: You reach them.
Speaker 6: Wherever they are and present the testimony of the ways,
you show them the photos, you bring them the lie detective.
Speaker 9: Tests, and finally, after.
Speaker 3: A year of hard work, you've.
Speaker 6: Got eleven jurors agreeing that Joe Mantel should be pardoned.
But eleven isn't twelve, and the twelfth dura, Missus Anna Ryder,
can't be found anywhere. And then your phone names.
Speaker 4: Miller speaking mister Miller, this is Missus Mantel.
Speaker 3: Hello, Missus Mantel.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm fine, I'm tined. I haven't had a tendency
yet to tell you how much I appreciate all that
you've done.
Speaker 3: I wish it, you know, I haven't been able to
finish when I started.
Speaker 4: Yes, I know, Missus Ryder, the twelfth juris.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can't find her anywhere.
Speaker 4: But that's why why I called you.
Speaker 3: I found that we've done your father.
Speaker 4: Where mister Miller, she's very sick and she's in the hospital.
Speaker 3: Could we stay her?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 4: I don't know that the doctor says her condition is
very serious.
Speaker 3: Give me the name of the hospital. Maybe we can
do it, Missus Mantell. Maybe we can. And that's the story,
Missus Ryder.
Speaker 4: Thank you for coming.
Speaker 7: You see I'm dying, mister Miller. Oh yes I know,
but I thank you for coming. Always, since I saw
your first articles in the paper months ago, always there
was a little cloud of doubt in my mind. And
if I died with such a thing on my conscious No, no,
you see his mother, this innocent boy's mother, she might
have been me. No, no, mister Miller, I thank you
for coming. You have a paper for me to sign,
Give me the paper, and bless you, blessed you for coming.
Speaker 4: I'm so glad you came, mister Miller. Joey is so
happy since he was pardoned by the governor.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad too, Missus Mantel. It's a very nice party.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a coming home party and going away party too.
Did you have some turkey.
Speaker 3: Just like I did? What do you mean going away?
Speaker 4: You haven't seen Joey, have you?
Speaker 3: No? I was beginning to wonder work.
Speaker 4: Well, he's out in the back in the garage, fixing
up the car. He said, he don't want a party,
he just wants to go away. He's changed, mister Miller,
thanks to you. No chip on his shoulder now no
two strikes against.
Speaker 5: Go out, mister Miller.
Speaker 4: Shake his hand and wish him luck. Joey had liked
that better than anything in the world.
Speaker 2: In just a moment, we'll read you a telegram from
William Miller the Cleveland Press with the final outcome of
tonight's big story. Now we read you that telegram from
William Miller of the Cleveland, Ohio. Pretz couldn't write story
of my meeting that day with Mantell a little too personal,
little too private, but could tell that by way he said, Hi, useful,
life had been reclaimed. Feeling was justified when two years
later received postcard from Mantell in California. He was happy,
had a good job, doing well. Many thanks for tonight's
Pellmell Award. Thank you, mister Miller. The makers of Pell
Mell proud to have named you the winner of the
Pell Mell five hundred dollars Award for notable service in
the field of journalism.
Speaker 6: Listen again next week, same time, same station, when Pell
Melts will present Another Big Story. A Big Story from
the front pages of the Indianapolis Star Byeline Robert Early.
A Big Story about racing cards, reckless men and the
driver who gambled and lost.
Speaker 2: A Big Story is produced by Bernard J. Potter with
music by Voda Mistelinski's Tonight's Program was written by Arnold Pearl.
Your narrator will Bob Sloan and Arnold Moss played the
part of William Miller. In order to protect the names
of people actually involved in Tonight's authentic Big Story, the
names of all characters in the dramatization were changed, with
the exception of the reporter, mister Miller. This is Ernest
Chappel speaking for the makers of Palnel Famous Cigarettes.
Speaker 11: This is NBC, the National Broadcasting Company, Welcome Back.
Speaker 1: The cast of this episode, in addition to mister Moss,
included Barbara Weeks, Addie Klein, Santos Ortega, Mickey O'Day, Edgerome's
Jack Rohymes, and narrator Bob Sloan, who took on a character.
As usual. These episodes are fascinating time capsules. Well, the
commissioner ended up wrong. Miller was right that he had
a point. Letting jury verdicts get overturned because of pressure
from the press really could set a bad precedent. And
I appreciated that the commissioner didn't just change his mind
because important people thought that the results should be changed,
but their stubbornness, and then there's just being obstinate, and
the sort of level to a proof that Miller had
to go through and getting all jurors to agree is
really just ridiculous, because he provided a lot of evidence
to cast doubt on the results of the case, even
though for the time the commissioner's view of the jury
verdict was exalted beyond beyond reason. Now, I did dig
up the original story as to what happened. It all
culminated in the January seventeenth, nineteen thirty seven issue of
the Cleveland News. It involved a young man named Frank
Basey who was convicted in nineteen thirty four and pardoned
by Governor Martin Davy in nineteen thirty seven. Now, the
actual story is very similar to what we heard on
the radio, even getting all twelve yeurors degree and the
last year being on their deathbed, but there were some
things that were different. The lie detector was arranged not
by Miller, but by the Cleveland Association for Criminal Justice,
who actually issued a full report to the governor in
the spring of nineteen thirty six. They talked about the
lie detective results, they talked about the confessions and the
evidence that they had gathered, and this made its way
to the governor's executive secretary, who recommended clemency be given.
But apparently the whole thing got lost as not a
thing happened with it for nine months. Sorry for leaving
you in prison all that time. That is an unpardonable
clerical error. Miller had reported on the story and really
started to beat the drum, particularly on New Year's Eve
nineteen thirty six, covering the fact that the family have
mister Basie back and that there had been no response
from the governor's office. One key emission from the radio
episode was that Basie had a brother. In fact, Basie's brother, Max,
was actually put on trial at the same time as Basie,
but he was acquitted and he was a key part
of finding the last juror. It was him, not the mother,
who found the juror. And then Max Bazie went to
Columbus and sat outside the Governor's office for eleven straight
days until the governor issued a pardon. It's unlikely that
the commissioner represented a single person, and really, if you're
a newspaper, do you really need the police commissioner's support
to get someone out of prison. He may have represented
a composite of different people who had objections at different
stages of the efforts to free Frank Bazie. And the
adding of such a composite character and kind of taking
some of the things that Max Bazy did and attributing
them to the mother is completely understandable because of some
of the challenges that come into producing radio drama. Every
single actor in this episode was doubling up another part,
and you even had the narrator acting. Oh, you have
limits time, the budget as well as the cast size,
and you just had to keep things manageable while trying
to reflect what happened as best you can within the
limits that you have in producing a radio drama. Well,
now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day,
and I want to thank Joey, Patreon supporter since June
twenty nineteen, currently supporting the podcast at the rookie level
of two dollars or more per month. Thanks so much
for your support, Joey. That will do it for today.

join us back here tomorrow for Broadways My Beat.
Speaker 12: Where the man who was with you last night he
said you wanted to talk to me.
Speaker 13: It could have waited, Miss Carroll, until you felt better,
and until you it will.
Speaker 12: Not be forgotten that easily, mister Clover, That's what you mean.
If you have something to ask, ask only don't prolong it,
don't make me wait and wonder. SoRs enough by itself, don't.
Speaker 13: You think, yes, yes it is, and you try to
understand us scale A.
Speaker 12: Man I loved, who loved me is dead by his
own hand, by his own will. He could have lifted
his burden onto me, whatever it was, but he didn't,
and now he's dead.
Speaker 13: You want more than that, maybe because this is my job,
because I can't rule out the possibility that David Blaine
was murdered.
Speaker 12: Awful, how ugly of you to think a thing like that,
that anyone could have wanted my David dead. It's ugly.
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then. In the meantime,
