Solitude whispers its invitation. The 21 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:23,960 derelicts of night run from it. Beat on a door, 22 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,919 plead for a refuge from the offered emptiness, but no 23 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:37,000 door opens to them. At headquarters, you consider it through 24 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,919 a grime stained window, turn away from it. Find on 25 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,479 your desk a slip of paper that hadn't been there before. Homicide. 26 00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:47,159 It says, Central Park, Lake and Broadway has finally opened 27 00:02:47,159 --> 00:03:00,800 a door. The password the violent Debt's the lake in 28 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,719 the facade of the city embracing it. There's a shadow 29 00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:06,400 covering a dead girl with its coat the puny affet 30 00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:08,599 to thaw the veil of frost on the girl's heart. 31 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,560 Then the shadow riser shakes its head and it's muggaming. 32 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,759 Speaker 3: I don't know, Danny. 33 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,719 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's you know, Danny. 34 00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 4: I got a nephew three years old. He comes here 35 00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:23,080 during the daytime to play, to feed the ducks. 36 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: Who is she? We didn't know. 37 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 4: They're dragging the lake now for any identification she might 38 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,280 have had on her So far nothing. Come here, I'll 39 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,479 show you see a knife wound. Where it is? It 40 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840 probably killed her instantly. Then they threw in the lake, 41 00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:43,919 a guy and this girl. They were, you know, smooching. 42 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000 They looked up on the body floating in the water. 43 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,520 They reported the precinct. 44 00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: Near the house. Anything. We questioned them, Why didn't they 45 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,919 report it right away? They had an argument about it. 46 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,199 Speaker 4: They said, didn't want to get into a mess, they said, 47 00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:55,800 and the girl said she told her boyfriend we. 48 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:56,879 Speaker 3: Better report it, so they did. 49 00:03:57,039 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 4: Who were they smooch? There's nothing else, Danny, We're positive. 50 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,319 Made no comment, Danny on what the way this girl 51 00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:07,319 is dressed, The expensive evening gown, the expensive mink for 52 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,879 a coat. I know it's real mink because my wife 53 00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:11,319 talks in a sleep about mink like that. 54 00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:13,639 Speaker 2: So so a lot, Danny. 55 00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 4: The girl as expensive, as beautiful as this one, somebody 56 00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:19,839 will come asking for her. 57 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: It's at least they could do, huh, Danny. There wasn't 58 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,079 anything to say after that. And from far away, across 59 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,839 the stillness, the brief wild sob of a boat whistle, 60 00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:35,480 and the sudden flurry of wind through naked branches, the quick, 61 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,439 small sounds in places where there's no sun. This was 62 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,480 the autumn's night pastor with death in it. I turned 63 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:52,079 up my collar and walked away from it. The next morning, 64 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,920 it was back to headquarters receive the report that so 65 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,720 far nothing had been found on the bottom of the 66 00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:00,319 lake to identify the dead girl. Go downstairs to the 67 00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:03,399 place where it's never daytime, the mark, the three people 68 00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:07,399 waiting there, the quiet audience, sensing the etiquette of stillness, 69 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,439 the presence of the tent.

Do you have to 526 00:28:13,079 --> 00:28:16,200 kill miss Hampton too? Didn't you? That's what you held 527 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,880 over your wife, Jimmy. You knew all this. She had 528 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,559 to give you everything you wanted. I thought you'd get 529 00:28:21,559 --> 00:28:23,039 as soon as you were married, but didn't. 530 00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: One to ten. Huh, that's the way it was, Denny. 531 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 5: Well, don't go. 532 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 3: Don't take it so hard, honey doll.

I'll be happy, just the way you wanted 538 00:28:59,720 --> 00:28:59,920 me to. 539 00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 2: Broadway looks good now. It's wearing the funny mask, the 540 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,119 funny nose, the big smile, painted in scarlet, the scarlet 541 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,559 you've known in other places at other times. Don't rip 542 00:29:35,599 --> 00:29:38,880 off the mask, kid, because you couldn't stand what you'd see. 543 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:47,680 It's Broadway, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile 544 00:29:47,759 --> 00:30:08,079 in the world.

Be listening this Saturday and every Saturday 555 00:30:41,599 --> 00:30:43,880 evening when the one and only hop Along Cassidy, starring 556 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,359 William Boyd, is heard on most of these same CBS stations. 557 00:30:47,839 --> 00:30:51,119 Dan Cumberly speaking, This is CBS where yours truly. Johnny 558 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,720 Dollar brings adventures Saturday nights on the Columbia Broadcasting. 559 00:30:54,160 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 14: System Welcome Back the Plane of September Song at the 560 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,400 start of the episode was. 561 00:31:14,359 --> 00:31:17,119 Speaker 1: A clue, and it was repeated at the end. To 562 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,680 anyone up on the music of the era, you recognize 563 00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:26,119 it because it was one of the popular standards of 564 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,880 the day. Its origin was in the Broadway play Nickerbocker Holiday, 565 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,359 and it was written for the limited range of actor 566 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:39,240 Walter Houston, who played the Dutch governor who sang of 567 00:31:39,319 --> 00:31:43,880 his desire for love after wasting far too much of 568 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,000 his life, and in this case, he was hoping to 569 00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:51,880 marry a much younger woman. So this immediately made me 570 00:31:52,079 --> 00:31:57,640 suspect that this story would involve a relationship with an 571 00:31:57,759 --> 00:32:01,000 age misman, though it turned out out to be the 572 00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:04,119 opposite of the play. I will have There have been 573 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,119 a lot of versions of September Song that have been performed, 574 00:32:08,519 --> 00:32:11,400 and it's got a very beautiful, wistful feel to it. 575 00:32:11,559 --> 00:32:15,960 My favorite version was sung by Jimmy Duranty. By no 576 00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:19,920 means was he a great singer, but he still had 577 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,880 the heart to make the song come alive and have 578 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,519 meaning for the listener, and one fun piece of trivia 579 00:32:27,839 --> 00:32:35,240 in that play, Nickoboker Holiday the hero was actually played 580 00:32:35,279 --> 00:32:40,000 by none other than Richard Colmer, who old time radio 581 00:32:40,079 --> 00:32:44,440 fans better know as Boston Blackie. I thought the scene 582 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,319 with the father confronting Danny was very well done. Danny 583 00:32:48,359 --> 00:32:52,559 didn't do anything wrong by saying he was sorry for 584 00:32:52,839 --> 00:32:56,240 the father's loss, and I think it's a fair social 585 00:32:56,319 --> 00:33:00,160 custom to say that, but there are times when and 586 00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:05,039 it can come across as robotic and not be particularly 587 00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:09,000 meaningful to people who are grieving. And I don't know 588 00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:13,400 why Danny would go ahead after that whole speech and 589 00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:18,880 pull out. I understand how you fail, because that's one 590 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,720 that you really should never ever use with someone who's grieving. 591 00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:28,480 Now we turn to listener comments and fadeback and mechanics 592 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,160 sixty six right in on Spotify regarding the Laura Burton 593 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,039 murder case. A lawyer who advises his client to talk 594 00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:43,279 to police is committing malpractice. And then now we have 595 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:50,720 a comment from Nourse Jeweler, Johnny Dollar or Donny Dowler. 596 00:33:51,599 --> 00:33:55,039 Adam Graham is transported into the radio world. You become 597 00:33:55,119 --> 00:33:57,880 the assistant to one of the detectives. What detective would 598 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,319 you serve? Remember when they get shot at, you get 599 00:34:01,319 --> 00:34:06,440 shot at? Where they go you go? So you become 600 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,239 Ben Romero or Day from Chameleon or Dan from Mystery 601 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,639 of My Hobby, of all the radio world? What assistant 602 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,320 are you? Well, one that doesn't get shot at? 603 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 9: A whole lot. 604 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: The idea that I would like be quantum leaping, I 605 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:28,760 guess into an existing character makes it a bit challenging, 606 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,679 Like I would love to be the paralegal to Jonathan 607 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,760 Kig of A Life in Your Hands. Yeah, I took 608 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,199 parallegal training, got a certificate, never was able to find 609 00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:44,880 a job in the field, but he didn't actually have 610 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,400 a legal assistant at stint or paralegal, so that wouldn't work. 611 00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:51,880 And then there are just some people you couldn't imagine 612 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,480 living your life ass like if I could imagine myself 613 00:34:56,599 --> 00:35:03,039 as a COB reporter working with Anne Rogers on hot Copy, 614 00:35:03,079 --> 00:35:08,039 I think that would be interesting. Again, going back to background, 615 00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:10,079 since I. 616 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,079 Speaker 14: Worked as a reporter for. 617 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: A short while, but I couldn't imagine myself becoming sprightly 618 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,360 pooled for obvious reasons. So if I had to pick 619 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,280 had to pick. I think I would choose jud Barnes, 620 00:35:22,559 --> 00:35:26,599 who helped Martha Ellis Bryant solve mysteries. He was a reporter, 621 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,559 wasn't an idiot, and they didn't get shot at too often, 622 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,280 So I think that's kind of a winning combination for 623 00:35:35,079 --> 00:35:38,280 insertion into a story. And then we have a comment 624 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,360 on YouTube from a listener in the UK regarding the 625 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:47,360 Harold Clark case.
