string of beads.

from me.
Speaker 4: That's right, sir, with your permission.
Speaker 5: You don't have my permission.

Speaker 5: You try anything like that. You're young, mister. She belongs

Speaker 13: You understand, she's my child and nobody's going to steal
it from I don't get out of this house, I know.

take her from me.
Speaker 4: Mister Norton, put down that gun.
Speaker 2: If I can Jackie, nobody else will.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 7: It's a little after dinner time when you, Sam mel
Nake of the United Press, get your mother's house. You
sniff the odors coming from the kitchen. You raise your
eyes to heaven and your mouth against the water, and
do you think life can be beautiful in Kansas City
or anywhere else for cooking like that?
Speaker 5: And then your mother.
Speaker 3: Comes in, samn, where have you been?
Speaker 7: Just down to Frank's place across from the Star Man.
Speaker 4: Oh I wondered what happened to you? Well, I've got
everything already.
Speaker 3: You better get washed up. And oh no, Sam, don't
answer better. It's probably that night manager down at the
bureau again. And if that horrible man thinks he's going
to take you away from my dinner again.
Speaker 4: Just because of the story, I'll forget it.
Speaker 7: Mom, don't worry, it's been a very dull day. I'll
just brush him off and sit down to dinner. Melie talking.
Oh hello, Bill, what on twenty seven street? Yeah, sure,
I'll get right on it. On the way.
Speaker 4: No, oh, I got a rush.
Speaker 3: What about my pot roast and pancakes?
Speaker 7: Keep it warm, mom, I'll be back as soon as
I can. A big story is breaking?
Speaker 3: What big story?
Speaker 7: A father just murdered his daughter. You, Sam Melnick of
the United Press have just been tipped off. But a
sensational murder has taken place on your beat, Kansas City.
So you leave your mother's dinner table and rush down
to police headquarters and get yourself a few facts. Luckily
you're the first reporter there. Would you know the rest
of the wolves are on their way, And the first
thing you do is corne Lieutenant John Brackett in charge
of the investigation. So this Albert Norton will killed his
own daughter.
Speaker 2: It's right.
Speaker 6: Sim started to go for her boyfriend first. When the
girl came downstairs, he split her ond let her have it,
and he broke away. And no tracer, no trace. We
blocked all the highways, railroad, air and bus terminals.
Speaker 7: You know, John, he could be right here in casey
who could be.
Speaker 6: Called this right after he shot the daughter, So wherever
he is, he didn't have time to get very far.
Speaking of Norton's wife, where is she not keeping her
and the two daughters and the boy ed Carlyle down here.
Speaker 7: At headquarters protective custody. Yeah, and you figure this Norton
is still dangerous, that he might come back and try
something else.
Speaker 6: Can't afford to think otherwise, Sam Man, who do a
job like this is more than a killer.
Speaker 5: He's a maniac.
Speaker 7: By this time, everyone and his cousin in Kansas City
are swamping the switchboards claiming they've seen Albert Norton. You
check a few leads, Fonny, You talk to Norton's sister
and missus Anna Regal. He hasn't heard a thing. You're
right with the prowl cap for a while and draw blank. Finally,
in deep discus, you ask the police to spatch you
to call you in case anything breaks. You phone your
mother that you're coming home for that dinner and when
do you get there?
Speaker 5: Hello?
Speaker 12: Mom?
Speaker 4: Don't you hello me? Sam Melni?
Speaker 7: Oh listen, Mom, I couldn't help it. I had to
go out on the story.
Speaker 4: Now, how about that pot ROAs?
Speaker 5: Eh?
Speaker 4: Did you get that story?
Speaker 14: Then?
Speaker 4: No? Well you're not going to get that pot roast either,
I'm not.
Speaker 14: No.
Speaker 4: I kept it waiting for you so long.
Speaker 3: It's all right out.
Speaker 4: Now you'd have to eat meat loads.
Speaker 7: What's wrong with that?
Speaker 2: I like meatload.
Speaker 5: I know it is done.
Speaker 3: I've got it sizzling on the pan now.
Speaker 15: And then humans, Oh no, don't you dare at that phone,
Sam Melani, Mom, I've.
Speaker 7: Got you, Melie chugging.
Speaker 4: Sam's a sergeant playing down at headquarters. Yes, Urgent, I
just wanted to tip you off that the killer just
phoned his sister, missus Regal.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I got out and see her before the
rest of the worlds get wise on my way, Sergeant. Thanks,
I've got to rush see you later.
Speaker 3: But them, what about my knee flow.
Speaker 7: Missus Rigel, just what did your brother say when he falls?
Speaker 15: Well, first of all, he wanted to make sure that
that Jackie was dead.
Speaker 7: Yes, and he.
Speaker 15: Wanted to know where his wife was. Then the far
could say anything else, he hung up. I see, just
gave me a good swish just to listen to him.
Albert's always been a little peculiar, but his voice over
the phone sounded crazy.
Speaker 7: Missus Riegel. Did you ask him where he was calling from?
Speaker 15: Yes, yes, I asked him right off that he was
coming from a restaurant.
Speaker 7: Rest at this time of find what he said, Missus Wrigl.
While you were listening, did you hear anything over the
phone that might suggest a restaurant, you know, dishes, rattling
pots and pans. No, and he sounded street cars going by.
Speaker 15: Oh no, Now, there's nothing out of the phone except
Albert's voice. I guess there haven't been much of a help,
mister Melnick.
Speaker 7: On the contrary, Missus Wriggl, you have. You've been a
mighty big help. In fact, you've just given me an idea.
Speaker 6: So you've got a hunch on where the killer is.
Speaker 2: Sam.
Speaker 7: That's right. Hell, look, John, let's have this thing up.
Speaker 5: Okay, go ahead and ad.
Speaker 7: The killer calls his sister at one am and says
he's calling from a restaurant. So there aren't very many
restaurants in Casey open at that time of night. Some sure,
they're mostly on the main streets, and you've got power
cars patrolling them. It stands the reason that Norton wouldn't
take a chance exposing himself and missus Wrigle heard no
street cars or anything like that. In other words, In
other words, John, the killer wasn't calling from a restaurant
at all. He was from a private home.
Speaker 6: Hey, that's interesting, Sam Very, You know how many private
homes there are in Kansas City.
Speaker 7: Sure, but my hunch is that the killer was calling
from his own home.
Speaker 6: Oh not that old cliche about the killer returning to
the scene of his crime.
Speaker 16: I know, I said it was only a hunch. I
can't back it up with anything concrete. Still, Still, what
he might have gone back to his own house. You're
holding the rest of his family down here under protective custody,
and the house was empty. Anyway, I'm going to have
a look. Gotta come along time.
Speaker 6: Maybe i'd better your hunch turned up right and I
wasn't there. I'd never forgive myself, and neither would the
police commissioner.
Speaker 7: Okay, John, let's go all right here.
Speaker 6: Oh oh oh, before we leave, Sam, there's something I
forgot to tell you.
Speaker 5: What is that?
Speaker 6: Your mother phoned headquarters here a little while ago, wanted
to talk to you real bad Eh.
Speaker 7: What didn't you say?
Speaker 6: Well, she was so upset over the phone. I didn't
quite get what she was saying, but it was something
about meat loads.
Speaker 7: The Naughton house is dog or the shades drawn ew
and Lieutenant Bracket try the front door.
Speaker 2: It's locked.
Speaker 7: Then in the moonlight you notice a car standing in
the backyard. You follow Bracket into the yard, the shivers
running up and down your spine as you reflect on
what a beautiful target you make there in the moonlight.
Just in case the killer is home, you'll both go
to the back door, find it locked. Bracket tries a
couple of pass keys, and then.
Speaker 5: It's it's him.
Speaker 2: It works.
Speaker 5: The door's open.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's going Look on second thought, Sam, maybe i'd
better go in in corner this rapid myself.
Speaker 5: If he's there.
Speaker 6: Oh no, I'm going in with Look, you don't have
to Sam, you're a reporter, but I'm a police officer.
I've got to go in. It's my duty, it's my story.
Might be dangerous, okay.
Speaker 5: Oh, before we go in, you got a gun? Uh no,
I'll keep my gun ready. Yeah, you carry this slash light?
All right, let's go.
Speaker 2: See anything.
Speaker 3: Let's go out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I spelled what stay in a coffee?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right, Sae fresh light over here, stable, See
what I see?
Speaker 5: Yeah, a cup of cold coffee and some sickertte.
Speaker 7: But looks like our friend is somewhere around sea.
Speaker 5: Put out that flashlight. He's in the other room. Ye, Sam,
you moved to one side away from that door. John,
do what I say.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, Norton, come out, come out with your
hands up.
Speaker 4: Okay, Norton.
Speaker 6: If you don't come out, we'll have to come in
after you.
Speaker 7: Come on, Sam, we're going in.
Speaker 4: Got that gun, Norton before right?
Speaker 7: Give you this.
Speaker 4: John, John, you're all right?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Any?
Speaker 6: Thanks? Sam? Or what you hadn't flashed that light in
his face when you did, you'd killed me. Sure from
where I was standing, I was looking right down the
mouth of his gun.
Speaker 7: And you Sam Melnick very tired and very hungry, phoning
your story to the up bureau. Finally, at four o'clock
in the morning, you come home.
Speaker 4: Hello, Sam, you still left.
Speaker 3: I'm still waiting for you to come home for dinner.
Speaker 7: Son, Jim, I'm sorry I had to cover a big story.
Your father killed his daughter because well because he wanted
a boy in the first place.
Speaker 5: Here, eat your dinner.
Speaker 7: Well this is just pie and milk.
Speaker 3: So all I got left the meat loaf cooked ryer,
just like the pot roast.
Speaker 12: And do you know what, sammm, I wish you had
been born a girl.
Speaker 8: Now we read you that telegram from Sam Melnick of
the United Press.
Speaker 7: As it turned out, Killer in Tonight's Big Story had
tried to commit suicide in his bedroom. The lieutenant had
winged him in the arm so that he dropped his gun.
Killer died from self inflicted wound just before the ambulance
came to her husband. To the bitter end, widow declared that,
except for insanely jealous rages, he was a good father.
Speaker 17: In order to protect the names of people actually involved
in the Knight's athout the Big Story, the names of
all characters in his dramization were changed, with the exception
of the newspaper Reporter. A big story has been a
presentation of the United States Armed Forces Radio Service, the
Voice of Information and Education.
Speaker 1: And Welcome Back. Well, as usual with the FRS recordings,
we don't get the cast list, so let's go ahead
and go through that. Starred as mister Melnick was Grant Richards.
Also in the cast Melville Ray, Ethel Raimi, Kathleen Niday,
I think is how it's pronounced, Humphrey Davis, Bill Smith,
and Burrel Firestone. This is a story where, unfortunately, the
underlying incident could happen with some variation today. Now, the
basic idea of this story that a father who tried
to control his daughter's life killed her when she was
trying to go on the date. But most of the
other details or different. It did happen in Kansas City,
and the name of the young lady was killed was
Lula made Davis, who was killed by her father Ray.
But in real life it was a situation where she
got between the boyfriend and her father and that's when
she got shot. And he actually it's somewhat of a
different situation in terms of how why he called in.
He initially believed in real life that he had not
killed her, and the final confrontation was not anything involving Melnick.
Davis was surrounded by police in his last call to
his family, stating that he's not going to put any
more disgrace on the family and requested to be bare
eat at the same time and place as his daughter.
So a horrific situation with a few tweaks to reality
thrown in. One thing that most people would not think
would be any tie to reality was Sam Melnick's others
cooking being victimized. Although it's interesting to hear from this
era where you couldn't just put something in the stove
and expect that it would automatically warm, it could be
a problem. Although pot roast is such an unlikely victim
given that it tends to be slow cooked and often
is braised in liquid. Most moms who were good enough
cooks that their cookings raws the sun home could probably
fure out to add some liquid in order to prevent
this from happening, or you know, still figure a way
to preserve it for sandwiches or something. But they were
committed to the bat Well Listener comments and feedback, and
we have a comment on YouTube from Michael, who writes,
my grandmother, born in nineteen thirteen had quite a few
thirty three rpm records of old time radio shows. This
is very cool. Well, Michael, I'm glad you enjoy this
and the thirty three rpm the long play records were
some of the earliest ways of commercially mass distributing old
time radio programs because people had record players. Now, of
course there were real to real tapes that people call me,
but not everyone had a real to real player, and
so these were sold in record stores. I actually bought
one of these records off of the eBay of my
dad's favorite program from when he was growing up. He
continually evoked to me The Inner Sanctum, and it does
play really well. And if your grandmother was born in
nineteen thirteen, then she would have been of an age
where radio was a big part of her life, particularly
as an adult. And then see some of the commercial
records made of old radio programs in the sixties and seventies,
so that makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much,
appreciate you sharing and glad to bring back some good memories.

Speaker 14: My baitwear Raymond or Harper.
Speaker 7: A little while ago, a man named Alex Raymond said,
your husband shot him.
Speaker 14: Then Edwin Harper must be running or hiding too.
Speaker 9: Do you mind telling me what you're talking about?
Speaker 14: Raymond and Harper incorporated together. They employed my husband to
make them rich. In this my husband was successful that
he's made one of them dead. We'll give you some
idea of how important my husband was to the concern.
Speaker 8: And you think your husband's going to kill Edwin Harper too?
Speaker 14: My husband is what is known among educators, among partygoers,
among those who conversationally psychoanalyzed people as a plugger. The
fact that my husband has set his mind to wiping
out Raymond and Harper simply means that he had to
kill one of them first.
Speaker 2: And none of this surprised.
Speaker 5: Junis has lost me least of all.
Speaker 14: I'm his wife. I attend his emotional moments. I know
about my husband.
Speaker 9: Would you mind telling me why he killed Alex Raymond?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 1: No, I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime,
