Speaker 1: Night Beat. Hi, this is Randy Stone. I cover the
Speaker 1: night Beat for the Chicago Star. My story is talking
Speaker 1: with many different ways. This one began with a kid
Speaker 1: and one hundred dollars bill and ended in the death
Speaker 1: cell of Juliet.
Speaker 2: Might be starring Frank Lovejoy as Randy Stone. See how
Speaker 2: wheaty's at seven can help at eleven? Well, Sure your
Speaker 2: Monday morning wheaties might have made today's wash look a
Speaker 2: lot smaller. Wheedy's tomorrow? Could baby make your iron seem
Speaker 2: lighter Wednesday, Thursday, any day. Wheaties sort of make insurance
Speaker 2: policies easier to sell and feels easier to plow, and
Speaker 2: time fighters easier to punch, because when you've had your wheaties,
Speaker 2: you've had the husky whole wheat vitamins and minerals that
Speaker 2: help keep you able to trim down big chores right
Speaker 2: down beside yet making beds or making money. It just
Speaker 2: seems a whole lot easier when you've had your wheaties. Surey,
Speaker 2: mother beat them up good every morning on those crisp
Speaker 2: light whole wheat flakes. It's a wonderful sight a family
Speaker 2: full of wheaties.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 2: The man says, see how Wheaty's at seven can help
Speaker 2: at eleven? That's it crying. Huh, Wheedy's tomorrow.
Speaker 1: It was a great night, chilly as I walked, hunched
Speaker 1: against the rain and stopping long enough to catch the
Speaker 1: sweetness and light in the headlines. H bomb, menace, traffic,
Speaker 1: tall mounts, murderous to die this morning in the electric chair. Okay, people,
Speaker 1: keep it up. You're doing fine. But I had my
Speaker 1: own worries, wondering where my a loving story had come from.
Speaker 1: Tonight it hit me before I expected it, A little
Speaker 1: kid six Maybe he came running at me and into
Speaker 1: me before I could step aside. Well you think of
Speaker 1: those break three line fella.
Speaker 3: Let me go, Let me go?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, where.
Speaker 4: To I I'm running away?
Speaker 1: I all right, all right, now you get your breath
Speaker 1: for the second leaf.
Speaker 4: They're coming after me.
Speaker 2: Oh, I want to go to my mom.
Speaker 1: I thought you were running away. I uh wait a second,
Speaker 1: what's this? My money? One hundred dollars bills mine, just
Speaker 1: a little loose change. Huh, please give it back to me.
Speaker 4: I gotta get a bus.
Speaker 1: Where do you live?
Speaker 5: I I wanna.
Speaker 1: Go to six sixteen Wolverton, Wolburton's quite a piece from here.
Speaker 5: They're coming.
Speaker 4: They're coming after me in the auto.
Speaker 1: Seem looks like this surrounded kid. Oh, take it easy
Speaker 1: for a second.
Speaker 2: It's here. You've been a bad boy, Marty running away
Speaker 2: like this?
Speaker 1: You gonna take me back? Uh, you're a kid, mister. No,
Speaker 1: what's the angle here?
Speaker 2: The kid ran away from his old man.
Speaker 5: I didn't My father's dead.
Speaker 1: Sure, he always says that. Now come on, Marty. No,
Speaker 1: it seems he doesn't want to go again. He will
Speaker 1: or maybe not. I'd like to know it. Eddie back
Speaker 1: big boys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, mister, you just forget all about this, Marty.
Speaker 1: Get in the car. Get away from that kid, Eddie
Speaker 1: mac him. That's a sample. Open your trap again and
Speaker 1: you get the rest. Come on, let's go. Before my
Speaker 1: eyes closed all the way I saw him hustle the
Speaker 1: kid into the car. If hegan to move away, glided
Speaker 1: under a street, laughing from the rear window of face
Speaker 1: looked out Jerry McCallum. The brain's behind almost any illegitimate enterprise.
Speaker 1: You could name nothing too small or too big for
Speaker 1: Jerry if it made a nickel. From what I saw
Speaker 1: of McCallum's face, he could have gone in right then
Speaker 1: for murder mine. A half hour later, after some minor
Speaker 1: repairs on my face, I dropped in to see Sergeant Kolski.
Speaker 1: I asked some questions and I got some answers. McCallum
Speaker 1: had never gone in for kidnapping, and no carpet stick
Speaker 1: his neck out without positive proof. If I wanted to
Speaker 1: go slumming, I was going alone. It wasn't far to
Speaker 1: McCallum's place, but knowing where he lived and getting to
Speaker 1: see him with two different things. However, I had a
Speaker 1: hunch that Jerry McCallum had seen me. I made sure
Speaker 1: of it by sending him a note with one word
Speaker 1: on it. Marty McCallum had me shown in. He smiled
Speaker 1: at me from behind a marble top desk, flanked by
Speaker 1: two of his boys, one of them my playmate of
Speaker 1: a little earlier.
Speaker 6: Oh, he's glad to see a news favorite boy.
Speaker 2: Stone.
Speaker 6: You fell want to print rough stuff once in a while,
Speaker 6: but it makes good for circulation, huh true or not?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure? You know we make up those things printed
Speaker 1: about you.
Speaker 6: I give us, So what do you want tonight? Stone
Speaker 6: for a starter?
Speaker 1: Ten minutes alone with a lover boy, they're the one on.
Speaker 6: Your right, Willy Bigger. Why yes, Now, Willy hasn't.
Speaker 1: Done I know, hasn't been out of your sight for
Speaker 1: a week. In fact, about forty minutes ago, he was
Speaker 1: baking a cake. Okay, forget it, good idea.
Speaker 6: Where's the kid, Marny yep? Do you like children?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Until they grow up, they're nice people.
Speaker 6: The kid's none of your business, Stone, Yet I am curious.
Speaker 1: Along comes a kid with one hundred.
Speaker 6: Dollars at all. Well, he took it. I keep lots
Speaker 6: of dough around here, and drawers everywhere. The kid grabs
Speaker 6: some and bed.
Speaker 1: Why because he wanted to go home?
Speaker 6: Did he say where? I?
Speaker 1: No? No, he didn't.
Speaker 6: Okay, then this is his home. What would you say
Speaker 6: if I told you he was my kid?
Speaker 1: Nothing? I'd be speechless.
Speaker 6: Stone, forget this whole thing. You've got nothing nothing. Whatever
Speaker 6: you're thinking is your idea. And that's as far as
Speaker 6: we go. As far as you go, both of us,
Speaker 6: I'll beat it. Don't crowd your luck.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's nothing I can prove, but it makes a
Speaker 1: good story. It's good reading.
Speaker 6: You got no finish to it now.
Speaker 1: Frank Stockton wrote a story once the Lady and the Tiger.
Speaker 1: There's no finish to that one either, but it caused
Speaker 1: more comment.
Speaker 6: That way, you're not scaring me Stone. People can ask
Speaker 6: all the questions they want after tomorrow.
Speaker 1: After tomorrow, mister McCallum, Why after tomorrow.
Speaker 6: I'm sick of looking at you. I'm even sicker of
Speaker 6: listening to you. Now, get out, Oh, by the way,
Speaker 6: get out.
Speaker 1: Yeah. One thing more, though, A friend of mine, a
Speaker 1: cop named Cosky, knows that I came here. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you in case my back looks inviting. When I walk
Speaker 1: out so long on the way down to the street,
Speaker 1: that tight feeling grabbed my throat, made my nose itch,
Speaker 1: in my eyes water. I kept my shoulders hunched against
Speaker 1: a bullet or a knife, but nothing came. Why not?
Speaker 1: I asked that a thousand times before I hit the street.
Speaker 1: I know I didn't scare hi McCallum. When I told
Speaker 1: him about Kolski, mcallum had a million ways to rub
Speaker 1: out anybody who'd got in his way, and a million
Speaker 1: alibis to keep himself clear. He done it before, but
Speaker 1: me he let go. Why? He said after tomorrow he
Speaker 1: didn't want anything to happen until after tomorrow. I kept
Speaker 1: thinking he kept walking, and then something began to go
Speaker 1: around on the back of my head. McCallum tomorrow, McCallum tomorrow,
Speaker 1: And suddenly it hit all about the electric Yeah start okay, yeah, eh,
Speaker 1: nice morning for somebody to sit in the hot sea.
Speaker 1: Then Clay looking dame too? Now, why probably something like that.
Speaker 1: There's a million dollars that you'd better bring Callum's girlfriend. Mccallums,
Speaker 1: where you've been missed? Everybody knows that. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: forget things when they're not close to you. Class you're
Speaker 1: looking dame. Never think a dog like that at bumper
Speaker 1: husband gonna fry it. Hey, mister, you sick or something
Speaker 1: or something? Yeah, but you ever get a great big hunch.
Speaker 1: Once I lost, I might too, but it's worth a try.
Speaker 1: I grabbed the cab. I thought maybe some of McCallum's
Speaker 1: boys were tailing me, so I had the driver a
Speaker 1: cut back and forth. Then when I was sure we
Speaker 1: were clean, I had him drive to McCallum's apartment house
Speaker 1: and park down the street a few doors and it's okay, mister, yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: turn off your motor. Okay, But I gotta leave the
Speaker 1: meat to take it. That's okay. I listen to turn
Speaker 1: off your lights. Why look, I'm Randy Stone, Chicago Star.
Speaker 1: Here's my press card. Okay, okay, Hey, wat's up? You

Speaker 1: Yes, I know, appeal nothing. Jerry mcallum didn't raise a

Speaker 1: She had a little boy, a little boy named Marty.
Speaker 1: But I remember, Oh, yes you do.
Speaker 2: Baby.
Speaker 1: Your face shows us so I need makeup. You've seen

Speaker 1: beat it, take it easy, get off before I call
Speaker 1: a bouncer. With the clock getting ahead of me, I
Speaker 1: looked up Harry Aaron in the musician's directory. With only
Speaker 1: an hour and tenminus left, I tried to find him. Yes,
Speaker 1: he played here, he played there. It was a good boy,
Speaker 1: but he was always high. I covered one spot after another, time,
Speaker 1: running out an hour left, fifty minutes, and then finally
Speaker 1: I hit a rooming house, one of those places where
Speaker 1: you stay up all day and all night. Anybody goes
Speaker 1: to sleep. He's a curiosity. There was a jam session
Speaker 1: going on, and I headed for the music. Five boys
Speaker 1: was swinging high, but the trombone player was the one
Speaker 1: I wanted. Skinny, pale face over which perspiration drenched hair.
Speaker 1: I walked over to him, Hi, Harry, Harry, knock yourself out,

Speaker 1: got to talk. We got forty minutes, Harry, and after
Speaker 1: that it's I guess the boys goodbye. I made him
Speaker 1: drink coffee strong and black, and I made him walk
Speaker 1: until his head cleared up a little. But it took time, time,
Speaker 1: and only thirty minutes I had left before that execution.
Speaker 1: And then we sat and talked, what are you why

Speaker 1: This is Lorraine Adams picture on the paper. Hiss Peggy,
Speaker 1: say bleach Peggy's hair, and she's Lorrain Adams. McCallum saw that.
Speaker 1: You're crazy, Stone, You're crazy. McCallum couldn't make the switch
Speaker 1: before the trial. Lorrain Adams gave herself up a week
Speaker 1: after she killed her husband. But it wasn't Lorrain. It
Speaker 1: was Peggy Racy. It's crazy. No less than half an
Speaker 1: hour Peggy would go to the electric chair in place
Speaker 1: of Lorraine Adams.
Speaker 6: But get a route.
Speaker 1: You gotta do something. I only proof is Marty, but
Speaker 1: he's at McCallum's place. Don't she's gonna die. You said it,
Speaker 1: She's gonna die. Stn't do something. I'm gonna jollyet to

Speaker 1: It's preparsal as missus Stone. Impossible, but it was done Wharton,
Speaker 1: And in ten minutes a girl will go to a chair.
Speaker 1: Ten minutes I call the governor.
Speaker 6: He's left it up to me.
Speaker 1: Well, then stop the execution.
Speaker 6: I can do that only if this girl admits she's
Speaker 6: not Lorraine. Animals, I've broken a rulestone on the strength
Speaker 6: of what you've told me. The girl is being brought
Speaker 6: here the visiting room.
Speaker 1: To talk to and what if she doesn't admit, there's
Speaker 1: no proof. The execution is scheduled. Where is that Harry,
Speaker 1: she's here? Bring her in, Chapman, Hello, Triggy.
Speaker 6: What is your name?
Speaker 1: I am Lorraine Adams, Chaplin? This girl is not Lorraine Adams.
Speaker 1: Didn't she tell you of Madam?
Speaker 6: What she told me?
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you.
Speaker 1: But in a case like this crime to him and
Speaker 1: to God, yes, that you took Lorrain Adams place. You
Speaker 1: have tried, convicted sentence and you'll die in less than
Speaker 1: ten minutes. You'll die. I am Loraine Adams. You took
Speaker 1: her place, You gave yourself up in her place. That's
Speaker 1: why the real Lorrain Adams was gone for a week,
Speaker 1: to give you time to beat your hair, and I
Speaker 1: killed my husband. You're killing yourself for what? For Marty?
Speaker 1: For your boy?
Speaker 6: No Peggy, No Peggy, Why don't you there's nothing else
Speaker 6: to say.
Speaker 1: You made a bargain with McCallum. What kind of a bargain?
Speaker 1: You never see your son again? You only had a
Speaker 1: year to live, but in that year you'd have had him.
Speaker 1: What did you leave him to a vicious gangster who'll
Speaker 1: never keep his promise to you? You'll die pegging soul Marty, Yes,
Speaker 1: he'll die too, as you know him. He'll be dead.
Speaker 1: Think what he'll be living with a rat like that.
