nineteen fifty. Here is the Helen Carroll Murder Case.

15
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: Broadways My Beat from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest,

16
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,079
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

17
00:01:56,239 --> 00:02:00,159
Speaker 3: Broadway is My Beat with Larry Thori as Detective Danny.

18
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: Broadway. Or you walk through the October evening and hold

19
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,439
close the things you want to save for memories, then

20
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,319
Broadway's as innocent and nostalgic as music drifting from the carouself.

21
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:23,960
If you move on, you get hit in the face

22
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:27,159
by a guy fishing for nickels under a grating. Whatever

23
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:30,879
you were pursuing is gone, now lost, and Broadway trails

24
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,520
off into the side streets. Walk them like I did,

25
00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:37,360
and try to close your eyes against the pattern of

26
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,240
scars in the street, of the tenements, the kids with

27
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:42,639
the torn deck of cards under the lamp post, the

28
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:45,759
dogs at the crash cans, the wide eyed girl who

29
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,919
lurched against me. That's all right, pardon me, that's all right.

30
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,919
There's something wrong, miss.

31
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:53,879
Speaker 4: No, No, it's all right.

Speaker 2: I'll find it, all right, find what I help you.

00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: You've seen it, you know where it is.

34
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: You're not feeling well. Let me take you home. That's right.

35
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:03,680

Speaker 5: I don't know who I am.

Speaker 2: When here's where you fell.

49
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: Yes, I remember because when it happened, I stretched out

a small knife.

98
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:15,439

00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:35,480

Speaker 7: You two mugg of it, but gently, You'll be all right, Miss, It'll.

Speaker 8: I killed her.

113
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 7: To come to me a moment longer, Danny, a moment.

114
00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:05,160
She'll be asleep.

115
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 9: This girl murdered Danny.

116
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: She's asleep. You're right, doctor Sinski. Only took a moment.

117
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,199
It only took a moment, and sleep touched Linda Arnold,

118
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,079
and the face gouged with hysteria, smooth down to a

119
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:29,040
kind of release, an innocence. Her lips formed a final

120
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:40,720
word ted once, then she surrendered to sleep. I left routine.

121
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,399
Then questions, questions, preface for the word ted, and answers

122
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:47,240
from people who lived in the apartment house. Ted. I

123
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,480
guess that's her boyfriend that always comes calling mister the

124
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:52,199
good looking boy in the uniform. Then a woman who

125
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:54,439
opened the door for me before I knocked told me, Tad,

126
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:57,639
you mean Ted Raymond, Mister Lynda's boyfriend bought as uniform. Mister,

127
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,160
guess that's because he drives a bus. The more questions

128
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,879
and find out Ted Raymond drove a bus for cross

129
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,279
country tours. Go to the depot. Ted was off yesterday.

130
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:11,319
But here's his address, but Ted wasn't home when I

131
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,959
got there. A sign a man to call me. When

132
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:16,439
Ted got in the next morning, a tan a phone

133
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,800
call Ted Raymond about out all night? He just got in.

134
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:29,800
I went there. You're the police, that's right, Danny Clover,

135
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,840
come on in. Thanks. How'd you know I was with

136
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:34,480
the police.

137
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,879
Speaker 10: How did I know one of your boys was outside

138
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:39,360
this house when I came in. He was trying to

139
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,360
look like a maple tree, like the one that's outside.

140
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,120
Real detectively looking fat man with a cigar, trying to

141
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,240
look like a maple tree.

142
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 6: I came home. He went across the street and made

143
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:51,519
a call. Then you came. Have a cheer.

144
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: Thanks. You know why I'm here? Sure, that's why you

145
00:08:57,159 --> 00:08:58,799
were packing that bag over in the bed.

146
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 10: Maybe I was doing the thing. I don't know the

147
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:04,360
etiquette about getting arrested. Did they furnish prisoners with small

148
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:07,559
and necessary items like razor and toothbrush and combs and brushes?

149
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: Huh?

150
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,879
Speaker 6: Go ahead, look that's what I'm packing. Looking and arrest me.

151
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:12,919
Speaker 2: Arrest you for what?

152
00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:15,159
Speaker 6: Come on, come on, I don't get cagy on me.

00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:16,120
Arrest me for murder.

154

Speaker 10: I stabbed with what? How do I know with what?

166
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,840
I picked up something and stabbed her.

167
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:43,320

168
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 10: Take me down the headquarters, get me a secretary, and

169
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,399
I'll dictate my confession.

170
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: It could have ended there with the boy's confession and arrest.

171
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,960
Could have been easy, easy to erase. The words of

172
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,519
a girl, the cries of a girl out of anguish

173
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:03,679
and hysteria, and the sickness of the lost, easy to

174
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,639
put out of mind. The blood on a letter open,

175
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,159
the found in her purse, found behind a trash can,

176
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:12,120
a girl wandering aimlessly in the twilight. That never happened,

177
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,799
but you'll know it did, all of it. So you

178
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,799
make a call to doctor Sinski and he tells you

179
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,159
the girl is in the police hospital. Yes, she can

180
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,480
talk to you. She's been asking for you. And the

181
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:24,679
girl sitting upright in the bed is a girl who

182
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:28,039
was never lost, who never cried except alone.

183
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 4: I've waited for you to come back, mister Clover.

184
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: You're better now, feel all right?

185
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,039
Speaker 4: Look at me? What do you think?

186
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: You look fine?

187
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 4: I tried. I made them bring me lipstick and powder,

188
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,240
Miss Neglige. That's when I've been saving you.

189
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:43,759
Speaker 7: Like it?

190
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: You consider this an occasion, Miss Arnold, isn't it? Can

191
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,840
you remember what you told me when I brought you

192
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:51,720
home the other night when we found your aunt.

193
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 4: I remember it exactly word forward. I said it killed

194
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,519
her because I hated her. My aunt was mean, mister

195
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,440
Clover and rotten. That's why I killed her. This makes

196
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,519
it an occasion, doesn't it.

197
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:07,639
Speaker 2: You lived with your aunt ever since.

198
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 4: I was in Pigtails, ever since I was twelve. I

199
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:17,519
think it began the first night I stayed in her house. Yeah,

200
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,120
that's right, that's when it began.

201
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: What be the hate?

202
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 4: Loathing?

203
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: Why?

204
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: Because she made me cry? Because she put me in

205
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,960
a dark room and let me cry all night.

206
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,519
Speaker 2: You've done something wrong.

207
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 4: I did wrong. My mother and father were dead, That's

208
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,120
what I did wrong, with no one to take me

209
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:42,159
except a school friend of my mother's. I call her aunt. Helen,

210
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:44,720
that's what I did wrong?

211
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,799
Speaker 2: And after that?

212
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 4: Have you ever had to live on the charity of

213
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:51,679
a bitter old woman? Mister Clover? It could have been

214
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,440
so nice. She was that rich. One hundred thousand dollars,

215
00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:59,039
Alfred said, one hundred thousand dollars, and we ate out

216
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:00,399
of paper bags dressed.

217
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: Who is he?

218
00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 4: Alfred Carrol, my uncle, my aunt's husband thing.

219
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:08,639
Speaker 2: We didn't even know about him. Where is he?

220
00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:13,279
Speaker 4: I don't know? But find him, mister Clover. He'll be

221
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,480
so relieved that I've killed her, so happy. I'd like

222
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:21,399
to see his face. Find him for me, please, we will.

223
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 2: We'll put out on all points bulletin.

224
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:23,879
Speaker 9: Thank you.

225
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,399
Speaker 4: Now you'll put me in a cell.

226
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 8: I suppose.

227
00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 4: I'm well enough for you to do that.

228
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: Ted Raymond says he killed your aunt.

229
00:12:36,159 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: You're not fooled, are you? He said that because he

230
00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:44,200
loves me. Turn your back, mister Clover. I'll get dressed

231
00:12:44,200 --> 00:13:00,960
so you can put me away.

232
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,279
Speaker 2: Hi you, Danny, Oh, come on in to Taglia. What's

233
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,080
on your mind?

234
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 7: Oh?

235
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 11: Thanks Danny, especially to extend to you formally the warm

236
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:13,720
hand of welcome back from your vacation. Wes to the

237
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:17,080
great device thanks to you, and to remark that the

238
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,320
western winds have indeed done wonders to your features, the

239
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,000
sun burned brow, the hearty handshake, and that dun Juan shirt.

240
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,799
You look like a veritable done one.

241
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:26,879
Speaker 2: Thanks Giny.

242
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:29,519
Speaker 11: And I tell you that I have prepared myself during

243
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,799
your vacation for whatever problems perplex your brain.

244
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:34,759
Speaker 2: Oh, tell me about it.

245
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:37,519
Speaker 11: I have been studying the exploits of Mike Shrek, the

246
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,360
bald headed miracle detective from Philadelphia. Detective Shrek is a

247
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,120
man who has coined two interesting theories. First theory, find

248
00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:48,399
a woman. Second theory, the criminal always returns to the

249
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:50,159
scene of his crime, put him together.

250
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: In other words, when a man walks past the scene

251
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,200
of the crime of the girl.

252
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 11: He's the killer. Hey, how did you know?

253
00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:01,159
Speaker 2: That's right? Come in, thank you.

254
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 9: I understand you're looking for me. I am My name

255
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:08,000
is Alfred Carroll.

256
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,759
Speaker 2: Yes, as we were looking for you, mister Carroll. You

257
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:13,759
know why we want you?

258
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, of course I do. It's about my wife's murder.

259
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,639
Speaker 2: It's this way. Two people have confessed to your wife's murder. Wow,

260
00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:24,840
that's right. And Arnold and Ted Raymond.

261
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,759
Speaker 9: I'm not a young man. Anymore? Lieutenant, would you mind

262
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:30,679
if I sat down?

263
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,039
Speaker 2: Please? Do that's straight?

264
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 9: Why should two people confess to my wife's murder? But

265
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,120
why should they do that? I killed my wife? I

266
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,039
killed Helen.

267
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,279
Speaker 3: You are listening to Broadway Is My Beat, written by

268
00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:01,240
Morton Ynne and David Friedgan and starring Larry Thor as

269
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:05,759
Detective Danny Clover. Keep your Guard up. That's the key

270
00:15:05,799 --> 00:15:08,960
slogan of the nineteen fifty National Guard recruiting drive, and

271
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,080
it's a slogan as timely as today's headlines. More than

272
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,679
ever before, America stands prepared, and the National Guard must

273
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:18,279
recruit approximately two hundred and twenty thousand men as soon

274
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,720
as possible. By joining the National Guard, young men will

275
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,320
have the advantage of choosing their own unit and preparing

276
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,159
themselves for promotion by being in a job for which

277
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:31,039
they are best qualified. Investigate the National Guard. Now, help

278
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,799
America to keep up its guard.

279
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,399
Speaker 2: In the late October afternoon, Broadway stands on a corner,

280
00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:49,360
SIPs its coffee, snaps at a cone. It sums up

281
00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:52,759
the day. Some days are better than others, you know,

282
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:56,000
because the Translux says it was our men in career

283
00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:58,879
are doing fine. It says, a horse out in far

284
00:15:59,039 --> 00:16:01,879
Hollywood paid for two It says, but you went on

285
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,240
it were your kid, But the rich they run a

286
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,039
kid and get this sighte and look what it says.

287
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:11,120
Three people confess to murder of Helen Carroll. A field

288
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,919
day for the police, ack kid, three tries, three scores

289
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,720
coming up in the world, the police and at headquarters.

290
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:21,440
The husband sits quietly waiting for the police deenographer to

291
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,240
catch up with him, because his confession spills out of

292
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,600
him like laughter, like it has to be shared with

293
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:27,080
the world.

294
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 9: Have you got that now, young man? All of it?

295
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,559
Speaker 2: Every word, He's got it. Mister Carroll, go on.

296
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:38,879
Speaker 9: There's not much more. I wish there were. There are

297
00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:39,840
so many things.

298
00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: Where did you go after you killed your wife, mister Carroll?

299
00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 9: I went to do things she'd never let me do,

300
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:51,600
like what enjoyable things, pleasureable things like what. I went

301
00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:55,440
to a bar and had a drink, a lot of

302
00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:58,039
drinks with her money, with Helen's money.

303
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: What else was a.

304
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 9: Girl sitting all alone? She came up to me and

305
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,640
asked me if I was having a good time. I said, indeed,

306
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,519
I was. Then I asked her if I could buy

307
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:15,960
her a drink, and she smiled. What have you done

308
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:16,440
with Linda?

309
00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 12: Wes?

310
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:18,839
Speaker 2: Linda, how much money did your wife have?

311
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 9: A hundred thousand dollars? Imagine a hundred thousand dollars? And

312
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,519
she made us live like pigs, like beggars. She wouldn't

313
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:30,759
even let me get a job so I could have

314
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:31,799
money for myself.

315
00:17:31,839 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: Why does she keep her money?

316
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,039
Speaker 9: It's all in the bank in her name. It's all

317
00:17:36,079 --> 00:17:38,880
coming to me. Now. You know what I'm going to

318
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,480
do with it after I die?

319
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,279
Speaker 2: After you, what are you going to do with it?

320
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 9: I'm going to leave it all to Linda, to my child.

321
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,240
I think of her as my child, but she Isn't

322
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:54,680
you know? It's like a blessing to have Linda in

323
00:17:54,759 --> 00:17:58,240
our house. I want her to have all that money.

324
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: Let me look at the try script, Floria. Thanks.

325
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 9: You will see to it that Linda gets that money,

326
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:05,680
won't you.

327
00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:08,519
Speaker 2: You said here, you've stabbed your wife for the letter opener.

328
00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:10,640
Mister Carroll, what did you do with it?

329
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,559
Speaker 9: Didn't I tell you that? I must have forgotten in

330
00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:20,680
the excitement. I walked around, and all of a sudden

331
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,559
I was on the dock. A garbage scowl floated right past.

332
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,599
So I threw the weapon onto the garbage. I thought

333
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:29,519
that was right.

334
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: For help, Is this the latter opener?

335
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 9: Yes, that's it. It belonged to Helen. That's what I

336
00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:45,400
killed her with.

337
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 2: I found it in Linda's purse with blood on it.

338
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,559
Speaker 9: You lie, you're lying. I threw it away. I threw

339
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:54,039
it on that barge. You're lying.

340
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: Mister Carroll gets hold.

341
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,599
Speaker 9: I killed her, rye killing her.

342
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: There it was three people confessed to a single murder.

343
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,480
An elderly man, Alfred Carroll said he killed his wife,

344
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:13,200
but the details of the killing were too cloudy. A

345
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,039
young woman, Linda Arnold, said she did it killing done

346
00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:19,240
in a mental blackout. A young man, Ted Raymond, swore

347
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,519
he was the killer. Take a premise, consider it. Make

348
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:26,079
up your mind that one of the suspects was the murderer.

349
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,799
But who all had motive? As far as I could gather,

350
00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:34,440
all had opportunity. That was the joker routine again, and

351
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,319
questions again, the knocking on doors and tipping the hat

352
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,359
and flashing the badge and intrude in the lives of

353
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,960
people who fought. The word murder was reserved for headlines.

354
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,359
Only A person like missus Westfall, for instance, landlady and

355
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,960
purveyor of towels and clean sheets for Ted Raymond.

356
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,039
Speaker 13: Yeah, you talking about Ted Raymond, And that's right. Ted

357
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,000
drives a bus.

358
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: Are you looking at missus Westfall?

359
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:08,519
Speaker 13: Little fiddle? Look at her walking down the street, giddle

360
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:12,240
in her rupperty of ways, it's just October and she's

361
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,640
got out the raccoon coat already. Look at her.

362
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: Ted Raymond, he drives.

363
00:20:17,079 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 13: A bus, bus driver, jockey for a bus.

364
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: Do you know whether we made any phone calls?

365
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 13: My phone will always makes some broke a date with

366
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,039
his girl. I heard him because I was peeping.

367
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 7: With my ears.

368
00:20:32,519 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: Then what they do I don't know.

369
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,519
Speaker 13: Maybe winter work where he works at the bus depot.

370
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,799
I'll bet it's not even real.

371
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:54,279
Speaker 8: Raccoon customer, I'm.

372
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:54,759
Speaker 2: From the police.

373
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 14: Fine, I drive that bus for cross country tours. I'm

374
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,920

00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,000
Think i'll make it.

00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 2: Sure, that's long. Take a minute. The man at the

Speaker 6: What's in trouble?

379
00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:10,839
Speaker 14: Oh, I'm just supposed to answer the questions, so you'll

380
00:21:10,839 --> 00:21:12,680
make the bus. I know Ted?

381
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: Did you see him?

382
00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 14: Last night all night, sat up with Peinockle all night

383
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,680
from five pm to four am.

384
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: That's funny. You know what's funny.

385
00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 14: He called me very early this morning told me if

386
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,160
anyone asked us, say I never saw him at all

387
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,519

00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 9: My name is Jones, and I've been looking for you.

392
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,079
Speaker 2: Why have you been doing that?

393
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 9: Because I read in the paper you were assigned to

394
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,400
the murder of Missus Carroll. Therefore this therefore what here

395
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:50,559
a hundred dollar barrel?

396
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:51,759
Speaker 2: Take it? You see?

397
00:21:51,799 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 9: I didn't spend the sentiment. Look, mister Jones, what's this

398
00:21:54,039 --> 00:21:56,200
all about? It's about that boy Ted Raymond. He gave

399
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,960
me one hundred dollars, and I'm giving it to you.

400
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,279
Why are you doing that? Because I'm a shoping tend

401
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:02,799
to the apartment house in which Missus Carroll was slaying

402
00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:05,000
Ted Raymond gave me one hundred dollars early this morning,

403
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,839
he said, tell anyone that ask that he was lurking

404
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,960
around the apartment house at the time of the murder.

405
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: I see what took you all this time? To come

406
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,359
to the police.

407
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 9: As what Yes, it did take me a long time.

00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,759
What happens at the one hundred dollars bill? Now, mister clo.

409
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 3: Oh, Ted, your marbles must have come loose.

410
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 6: Mister Clover, you leave that door open.

411
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 10: I make a dash for it, escape, become a fugitive

412
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,759
from justice, make a name for myself on the papers.

413
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 2: But you won't do that, will you, Ted? You won't

414
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,119
do it because you'll like it here.

415
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right. I like it here.

416
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,599
Speaker 10: The walls are worn thin, where guys have cried on them,

417
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:48,640
where guys have beaten their heads against them. Oh, yeah,

418
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:49,920
I like it here, mister Clover.

Speaker 6: She'll be careful. Huh, careful. I don't hurt you when

420
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:54,519
I try.

421
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,279
Speaker 2: It's open, Ted, All you have to do is walk out.

422
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 6: So what is this? I never even read about it.

423
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,039
Speaker 2: You told me you killed Helen Carroll?

424
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 6: Yeah? Who else should I tell? Bring him to me.

425
00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:07,920
I'll whisper it in their ears.

426
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: She was killed in the evening at seven o'clock. The

427
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:11,799
medical examiner says.

428
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,799
Speaker 6: So, lessome, I killed her in the evening at seven o'clock.

429
00:23:13,799 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: You're lying, ten. We know everything it did from five

430
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,319
until four in the morning. You weren't even near Helen Carroll.

431
00:23:19,519 --> 00:23:21,000
How much did you lose at pinnuckled?

432
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,319
Speaker 6: Ted, you're crazy.

433
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,039
Speaker 2: The man you played cards with McLean is he crazy too? Ted?

434
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,119
All of us and Jones? The man you paid one

435
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,119
hundred dollars to establish at the scene of the crime

436
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,200
at the current price for a confession a murder? Answer

00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:32,640
me ten.

438
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 6: So I didn't kill anybody, so you don't have to

439
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:35,839
put your hands on me.

440
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,799
Speaker 2: Who did you do it for?

441
00:23:39,079 --> 00:23:44,039
Speaker 10: It's this way, mister Clover, somebody gets killed. I feel Gilly,

442
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:47,400
so I confess, and I don't feel Gilly anymore.

443
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:48,559
Speaker 2: It was for Linda, wasn't it.

444
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 6: I do it for her too.

445
00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: Forlinda.

446
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 6: Leave her out of this. I want you to leave

447
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:52,039
her out.

448
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,079
Speaker 10: Look, mister Clovery, you're wrong.

449
00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:06,759
Speaker 6: Linda. She's a sick, but she wouldn't kill Not Linda.

450
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,920
She's just sick. That's all all she needs is how sick?

451
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,599
Ask her doctor. He'll tell you, doctor Malcolm.

452
00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 2: Doctor Malcolm.

453
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,559
Speaker 10: Yes, doctor Robert Malcolm in the Equitable Building. Go ask

454
00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:22,160
him how sick a girl like Linda can be.

455
00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:25,519
Speaker 2: We won't need you anymore. Ted, the god at the

456
00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:28,200
end of the tyr will show you where to go. Goodbye, Ted.

457
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 14: The case of Lynda Arnold is not a very exciting one,

458
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:40,720
mister Clover.

459
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:43,079
Speaker 2: I want to write a magazine article, doctor Malcolm. I'm

460
00:24:43,079 --> 00:24:45,359
just trying to clear up a murder. I'll waging the material.

461
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 14: You please come and contact doctor of course, of course,

462
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,720
man Donald. And she came to me some years ago,

463
00:24:51,799 --> 00:24:56,079
how many years ago? About ten, I'd say, charity patient

464
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,759
and later I found it around was quite well, viso,

465
00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:00,440
I had a done out for my Her.

466
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 2: Aunt was the one who was murdered.

467
00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 14: Really, now that's interesting. Oh why oh, let me ask

468
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,519
you a question, mister Clover. Did Linda kill her aunt?

469
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 2: We're not sure? Maybe she did. Why do you ask?

470
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 14: Well, there might be a pattern for murder there. And

471
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:16,799
Linda was an emotional girl, and when an emotional crisis

472
00:25:16,839 --> 00:25:19,920
presented itself, she would do well blackout.

473
00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: In other words, at times, rather than face reality. Linda,

474
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:27,079
would I said it blackout? Would you say you cured her? Doctor?

475
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 14: I can only say she hasn't had need to see

476
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,480
me for the last three years. I didn't say she

477
00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:39,119
was a briefly healthy, normal girl. Anything else. No, good day,

478
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:39,759
mister Clover.

479
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,759
Speaker 2: It was five pm. When I walked out of doctor

480
00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:49,039
Malcolm's office. It was ten minutes after five when I

481
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:52,160
called the police headquarters and had them release Linda Arnold

482
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,559
and back on Broadway for a hot pastrami sandwich. I

483
00:25:55,599 --> 00:25:58,640
almost had some cream soda too, but Marris, the waiter said, ah, Danny,

484
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,559
you look dyspleptic. Hypers tribe salary tonic. Then the theater

485
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,640
crowds began to gather and Broadway became crowded, so I

486
00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:12,599
left it. Linda Arnold should be home by now. I

487
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,960
went there to her apartment, but it wasn't Linda Arnold

488
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,160
who opened the door for me.

489
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 9: Oh oh, it's you, mister Clover.

490
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,839
Speaker 2: Please come in, thanks very well. Where's Linda?

491
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 9: She was just admiring the clothes I bought for her.

492
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,680
I opened a charge account for her because I'm going

493
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,960
to get all that money, and I bought all those

494
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,200
beautiful clothes for silks. Linda looked so wonderful in silks.

495
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,039
See these and these and these?

496
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: Where's Linda, mister Carroll in this?

497
00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 9: You should have seen Linda in this. We played that

498
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:50,480
record you're listening to so Linda could walk around to it.

499
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 2: Let's get rid of it, uh, where's Linda, mister Carroll.

500
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 9: Oh, she's in her room changing into something else. Call

501
00:26:58,319 --> 00:27:01,880
her because you want to take her back for murder.

502
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,680
It won't work.

503
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: You know.

504
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 9: Linda has no mental responsibility for what she did. And

505
00:27:06,759 --> 00:27:09,480
besides that, if she were brought to trylight, I'd say

506
00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:14,279
I did it, Linda. Doesn't she look good for mister Clover?

507
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 2: How do you feel, Linda?

508
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 8: What happened to the music?

509
00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: I turned it off, but I'm happy.

510
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 4: I need music to go with her. Look at these things?

511
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,000
Look at them. Uncle Alfred bought them for me.

512
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,319
Speaker 9: Yes, I did, didn't I? Linda?

513
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: Tad signed this confession. Linda?

514
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 9: What?

515
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,319
Speaker 2: Yes? The district Attorney's going to arrain them tomorrow morning.

516
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 9: That's wonderful.

517
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 4: Ted did that?

518
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 9: Isn't that wonderful? Linda?

519
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 6: I asked you?

520
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 9: Isn't that wonderful? In jail now we have nothing to

521
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,079
worry about, don't you see, Linda?

522
00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:54,079
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Uncle Alfred.

523
00:27:54,200 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 9: Linda, don't call me uncle. I'm not your uncle, Linda, Linda,

524
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,279
you're so lovely, so lovely lovely.

525
00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 7: You did your hands off me, you old man?

526
00:28:11,599 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 8: You take your hands off?

527
00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 6: Do you talk to me like?

528
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:21,319
Speaker 9: Get Oh, dear, I killed for you, plan this whole

529
00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:21,799
thing for you.

530
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,079
Speaker 6: The years I waited for you. You you.

531
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: All malver alone.

532
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,799
Speaker 9: I'll show you.

533
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 6: Take her, mister Clover, take her me too.

534
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,839
Speaker 2: You're crazy to me, mister Clover.

535
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 9: I planned it all. Was I who told her to

536
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,480
walk around, to be found in the days with a

537
00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:45,240
knife and her purse. No jury would convict her. I

538
00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:47,400
killed my wife, and Linda helped me to do it.

539
00:28:50,880 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 5: All those beautiful things, you'll take them all away, all

540
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:19,920
these things, all these beautiful things.

541
00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: In the time of autumn, twilight sighs down on Broadway.

542
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:36,759
You walk toward it. Someone smiles and takes your hand,

543
00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:41,759
whispers to close your eyes, then bangs your head against

544
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:44,920
a wall, and your scream mixes well with the shriek

545
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:51,880
of the night. It's Broadway, the gaudiest, the most violent,

546
00:29:53,640 --> 00:30:13,920
the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway My Beat.

547
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: Broadway's My Beat stars Larry Thor's detective Danny Clover, with

548
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:21,920
Charles Calvert as Tarteglia. The program was produced and directed

549
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,319
by Elliot Lewis, with musical score composed and conducted by

550
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,039
Alexander Courage. Included in tonight's cast, Rejoyce McCluskey, Herb Butterfield,

551
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:38,359
Peggy Weber, Louke Krugman, David Ellis and Jack Krushian, Jack Smith,

552
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,440
Dinah Shore, Margaret Whiting, Bob Crosby, the Andrews Sisters, Lowell Thomas, Bulah, Edmurrow.

553
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,200
Anywhere else they'd make up an all star list for

554
00:30:46,279 --> 00:30:49,759
a week, But at CBS the Stars Address, you can

555
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:57,079
hear them every evening Monday through Friday. Dan Coberly speaking,

556
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,720
this is CBS for yours truly. Johnny Dollar brings Adventure

557
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:12,920
Saturday nights on the Columbia Broadcasting System.

558
00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:19,079
Speaker 1: Welcome Back Daddy may have gone away, but the Herb

559
00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:25,039
Butterfield did it. Trope didn't. Also, if you're wondering about

560
00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:29,759
that one hundred thousand dollars that Helen Carroll had today,

561
00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:34,000
in terms of purchasing power, it would be one point

562
00:31:34,079 --> 00:31:37,920
three million dollars, which is nothing to sneeze at, but

563
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:41,720
not super wealthy in terms of net worth. A lot

564
00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:45,039
of people with that sort of net worth going around,

565
00:31:45,079 --> 00:31:49,200
though I should say most with that sort of total

566
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:54,000
assets have them in their home equity or locked up

567
00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:58,279
in retirement investment accounts. Having that much money down at

568
00:31:58,319 --> 00:32:01,960
the bank ready to draw on and live on in

569
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,200
an apparently cheap and miserable way is probably a bit rarer.

570
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,119
Ted is probably the most unique character in the story.

571
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,279
It's pretty common, I mean relatively for there to be

572
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,400
multiple confessions that a detective has to sort through, but

573
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:24,279
for someone to work so hard to frame himself for murder,

574
00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:29,200
it's just kind of oppressive, even though, as I gathered

575
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,480
from his landlady, finding a dozen different ways to say it,

576
00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:36,359
he works at a bus company, I believe, as a

577
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,920
bus driver. I think I got that ride. We turn

578
00:32:40,039 --> 00:32:43,200
now to listener comments and feedback, and we start over

579
00:32:43,359 --> 00:32:46,799
on YouTube, where a listener rits, I've only heard four

580
00:32:46,839 --> 00:32:50,279
episodes of the show, but it seems like this police

581
00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:55,319
officer gets beat up a lot. Well, I appreciate your comment. Now,

582
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,880
of course, that was regarding the Jack Jorneau murder case.

583
00:32:59,319 --> 00:33:03,440
I wouldn't say that Danny gets beat up a lot

584
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,920
compared to your average private detective. You know, you're Richer

585
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:13,000
Diamonds or you're Barry Craig. But he does get beat

586
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,279
up a lot more than you would expect for a

587
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:20,079
police officer. I mean, he even got beat up on

588
00:33:20,279 --> 00:33:23,759
Christmas Eve. I mean Danny couldn't get out of a

589
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:29,480
lighthearted Christmas episode unscathed. One thing about Broadways my beat

590
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:34,400
is it's kind of like a quasi procedural at times,

591
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,920
but it's really written in the style of like a

592
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,599
hard boiled detective program, which makes it a bit odd

593
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,160
but also unique. All right, now we go to our

594
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:52,240
listener survey. We have a couple of comments there, C. W. Wrights,

595
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,680
this show is classically entertaining. It reminds me of my

596
00:33:55,799 --> 00:33:59,079
younger days. Keep up the good work. And then we

597
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,359
have a comment no name given. I enjoy the stories,

598
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,920
of course, but what separates this podcast is Adams fax

599
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,679
and commentary. It adds depth and understanding. I also enjoy

600
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,800
the original old time advertisements. Believe it or not, well,

601
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,519
thanks so much, and I definitely believe that. On my

602
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,920
other podcast, The Old Time Radio Snack Wagon, I actually

603
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,760
have done a couple of episodes that are just compilations

604
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,320
of different old time radio ads. There's a definite fascination

605
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:35,559
with them, and they had some really interesting approaches and

606
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,159
hopefully we will do more of that over at the

607
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:42,519
Old Time Radio Snackwag. Of course, enjoy the ads that

608
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,480
are on these episodes. As well. All right, well, now

609
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:49,880
it's time to think our Patreon supporter of the day,

610
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:52,840
and I do want to go ahead and thank Tristan

611
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,840
Patreon supporter since November twenty twenty four, currently supporting the

612
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,159
podcast at the Shawmas love of four dollars or more

613
00:35:01,159 --> 00:35:03,440
per month. Thanks so much for your support. And that

614
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:06,760
will do it for today. We will be back next

615
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,159
Wednesday with another episode of Broadways My Bait. But join

616
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,280
us back here tomorrow for drag netwhere.

617
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 2: We've been on this guy for a long time.

618
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,159
Speaker 7: He pulled the same thing down in San Diego, knocking

619
00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:20,800
down about two thousand dollars a month, and he laid out.

620
00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:22,320
Now he's at it again up here in.

621
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 12: La As you know, we've been getting reports of the

622
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,599
thefts and the passing of the checks about ten days ago.

623
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.

624
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,559
Speaker 12: We've got five checks passed by this same thief. According

625
00:35:31,559 --> 00:35:34,360
to handwriting analysis. We know it's the same guy. Talk

626
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,000
to the victims and the bank tellers description of the

627
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,760
guy seems to tell you with what you people have

628
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,159
on him. Yeah, there's just one thing we haven't been

629
00:35:41,159 --> 00:35:43,559
able to piece out yet. What's that you when he

630
00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:45,280
steals a check? How does he know what bank to

631
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,280
pass it on. I think we got the answer to

632
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:47,679
that one.

633
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:48,519
Speaker 2: Well, let's say that.

634
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,559
Speaker 12: He steals a letter, and we know he doesn't only

635
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:53,159
hit the community mailboxes. Sometimes he goes to a private

636
00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:55,280
residence fishes the letters right out of the mail slots.

637
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,159
Speaker 7: In that case, I.

638
00:35:56,119 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: Hope you'll be with us then in the meantime, send
