12
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,200
fifty one, here is the Alex Raymond murder case.

13
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: Broadways might Be from Times Work, the Columbus Circle, the Audious,

14
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,719
the most Violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

15
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,239
Speaker 3: Broadways might Beat with Larry Thorr as Detective Daddy Koberg.

16
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: The November morning sits down over Broadway, and for a

17
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,599
time the swarm stands bewildered, stares at its empty hands.

18
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,520
The solitude begins to shape itself once more, out of

19
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,439
November's winds, out of the silent, colorless neon out of

20
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,000
mists flaring upward from manhold. And finally the solitude is

21
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,840
clear and present, whispering again its desolate invitation and the

22
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,000
derelicts of morning run from it. Beat open a door,

23
00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:33,400
plead for refuge. Find it in a time clock. It's

24
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:42,039
another day, kid, all yours and at headquarters. Do the

25
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,919
things of the morning. Brush the night dust off the

26
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,680
unfinished report. Walt up the paper cup with the dregs

27
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,520
of cold coffee, Toss it in the wastebasket. They're a

28
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:51,680
page of a calendar.

29
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 4: The shooting.

30
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: Don hold, this man says, he shuts to talk.

31
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 6: Here's the address.

32
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,199
Speaker 2: Take it from the Sargeants go to the address. And

33
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,599
the man standing dropped against the wall of the apartment,

34
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,520
one hand in a fist pressed hard against his chest,

35
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
pushing back the fragment of light that was still inside him,

36
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,759
watching see through his fingers, took you, You took your time.

37
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 6: Let me help you out.

38
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: Oh put just stay.

39
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 6: Stay Chris?

40
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: Who shot you?

41
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 7: Stanley? Stanley glove? A little nothing worked for me.

42
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 6: I put to prive of this stand. Get you.

43
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,319
Speaker 2: The ambulance will be here in a minute.

44
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,879
Speaker 6: Keep jack handil okay, I'm di. Did you.

45
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:58,919
Speaker 7: What you've got to do with your Alex Raven? That's me,

46
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:05,960
That's who I was. You kick that little button, hid

47
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:15,159
to kivin, and you burn, and the.

48
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: Words stopped, and briefly the mouth that moved over nothingness,

49
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:23,639
voicing nothing, moving quickly and fiffly like quicksilver, till it froze.

50
00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:31,680
So the shape of it was forever because he was dead,

51
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:42,399
and after that Alex Raymond objectively, the measuring of his

52
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,759
death by instruments, men with cigars, the photographing of it,

53
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,800
the recording of it underheading files active and take a

54
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,040
piece of the image away with you. A name of

55
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:59,079
killer named Stanley Lawson, employee of Alex Raymond. Consult other records,

56
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,600
make a phone call, come up with an address, go

57
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:09,959
to it. Yes, my name's Clover. I'm from the police.

58
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 6: What is it you want?

59
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm looking for a Stanley laws in the card on

60
00:05:13,519 --> 00:05:14,160
your door.

61
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:17,079
Speaker 6: Stanley Laws and I noted loss in his wife. Why

62
00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:17,959
are you looking for him?

63
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:20,399
Speaker 2: Suspicion of murder? Missus Lawson?

64
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 6: All right, coming in here. Stanley isn't home.

65
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: Where is it?

66
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 6: If he committed murder, he's probably running or hiding or

67
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,079
whatever a new murderer is supposed to do what I do?

68
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,920
Which one did he kill? What do you mean which one?

69
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:45,399
Raymond or Harper?

70
00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: A little while ago a man named Alex Raymond said,

71
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,319
your husband shot him?

72
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 6: Then Edwin Harper must be running or hiding too.

73
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: Do you mind telling me what you're talking about?

74
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,319
Speaker 6: Raymond and Harper incorporated together, the employed my husband to

75
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,839
make them rich. In this, my husband was successful. That

76
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,639
he's made one of them dead. We'll give you some

77
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,639
idea of how important my husband was to the concern.

78
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:13,399
Speaker 2: You think your husband's going to kill Edwin Harper too?

79
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 6: My husband is what is known among educators, among partygoers,

80
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,279
among those who conversationally psychoanalyzed people as a plugger. The

81
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,600
fact that my husband has set his mind to wiping

82
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,120
out Raymond and Harper simply means that he had to

83
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:31,519
kill one of them first.

84
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:34,079
Speaker 2: And none of this surprised Junis as West.

85
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 6: Me, least of all. I'm his wife. I attend his

86
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:38,959
emotional moments. I know about my husband.

87
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,079
Speaker 2: Would you mind telling me why he killed Alex Raymond?

88
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:47,959
Speaker 6: No, nor why he'll kill Harper. Stanley has been working

89
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,879
for them for fifteen years, A designer of their happy

90
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:57,399
toys for tops. He's fired and yesterday without a girl, watch,

91
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,000
without a pat on the back, just slip. What does

92
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,319
a plugger do after plugging in a pattern for fifteen years?

93
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:10,519
Stanley killed, you're wasting your time talking to me and

94
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,120
mister Clover. I'd find Edwin Harper if I were you,

95
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:32,000
that is, if you feel the necessity of saving his life.

96
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:28,639
Speaker 2: And consider for a moment her easy acceptance of the

97
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,920
violence that had intruded on her life, the final flourish

98
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:34,079
that put an end to the meaningless pattern that had

99
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,199
been hers her husband's shown in the way she wraps

100
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,519
the tended portrait of him in the newspaper. It gives

101
00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:42,959
it to your wants it back when you throw with it,

102
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:45,879
and you give her the promise leave her with it.

103
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,319
Then a murderer's description on the wires, the all points bulletin,

104
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:59,839
a woman's toneless voice in prowl car radios, Killer at Large,

105
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,480
Get it all moving, Then go to the man missus

106
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:06,480
Lawson told you about the other man her husband wants dead.

107
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:09,839
Edwin Harper. Find him in his office at the factory.

108
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,600
Watch him nervously caress a toy as he tries to

109
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,399
understand it. Look you, Alex and me, we built a

110
00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:17,519
big thing here with Christmas coming on, is going to

111
00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:19,959
be bigger than Alex Ramon is dead. Mister Harper, I

112
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,279
don't know any other way to tell you. Don't kid me, mister,

113
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,360
this toy I got here in my hands, our bigg as.

114
00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:26,240
Now with the Alex and me, we're going to fight

115
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:30,319
all the kids in the country. But Alex Stanley Lawson

116
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:33,120
shot him, killed him in cold blood. Why why would

117
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,039
a little punk like Stanley do a thing like that?

118
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:38,279
Nobody does things like that. Blossom did because you fired him.

119
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:40,360
His wife told me he'd been with you for fifteen years.

120
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,639
There are jobs, all kinds of jobs. Are a punk

121
00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:46,039
like Stanley defends janiting all kinds of jobs. We get

122
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,960
rid of people all the time. We don't expect to

123
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,080
get killed for it. Why did he get rid of Lawson?

124
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,320
He was washed up, prove finished dead. That's why missus

125
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,440
Lawson gives a thing for what she's hit. What she

126
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,480
tell you that her Stanley with the brains of our outfit,

127
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,799
that he sweat blood and tears were like to me

128
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,039
that he was devoted, loyal one hundred percent. That's what

129
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:07,840
she told you something like them, So maybe it's true.

130
00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:10,320
Maybe that's how it was. We picked his brain and

131
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,799
then all of a sudden he don't come up with

132
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,559
anything anymore. Looks a designer who can't design anymore?

133
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 6: Who needs you?

134
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: I got to live too, You got weight to throw

135
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,600
it away? Yeah? You got any ideas where loss and

136
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,159
might go to hide? And in particular place? You mean

137
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,120
that punk that murder is done the loose? You haven't

138
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,480
got him, No, that's thought. Maybe you could help help.

139
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,519
It's me you got to help. Don't pendetate you next

140
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,039
heat want me, We'll take care of it. Mister Harper. Look,

141
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:39,360
I got no intention of dying, none at all, not

142
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,799
from Stanley, not from anything. It's your responsibility. You understand that.

143
00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:58,759
You got to clear. I'm not going to die Kunning Clover,

185
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:45,679
on down, or you won't get out of here alive.

186
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:57,840
All right, Lawson, any way you wanted, you're not going

187
00:12:57,879 --> 00:13:13,559

00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,240
stop Lasson you.

189
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,279
Speaker 6: You made a mistake.

190
00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 8: I didn't kund.

191
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 6: All of mistake.

192
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,159
Speaker 3: You are listening to Broadway is My Beach, written by

193
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:47,720
Martin Fine and David Freakin and starring Larry Thor as

194
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,000
Detective Danny Clover.

195
00:13:50,240 --> 00:14:02,759
Speaker 2: Sh The light that curtains Broadway in late November is

196
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:06,639
a thing of gauze gray stuff that touches autumn with December.

197
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,679
It's the time when the shadows come in with the sun,

198
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:12,879
the time of the three coffee breakfast, the sweater and

199
00:14:12,879 --> 00:14:16,759
the vest under the coat, but the pluck birds hang high.

200
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:19,919
There are stocks of corn and pumpkin pie behind moist

201
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,759
shop windows. It's holiday season, and up and down the

202
00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:29,399
furious street chef's smile. There's no problem for Thursday's blueplate special.

203
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:35,840
Forget the headline's kid. Everywhere everybody'll be eating turkey, it says.

204
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,600
But when the new day comes. The light that drifts

205
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,639
into a hospital room has another texture because it lies

206
00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:50,240
against clean walls and starched curtains before it touches a bed,

207
00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:53,759
a bed where a man named Stanley Lawson lay a

208
00:14:53,879 --> 00:14:56,679
murder suspect, and his wife considers him.

209
00:14:57,039 --> 00:15:00,879
Speaker 6: Look at him, mister Clover in this stat is shot.

210
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,000
Isn't that what your doctors called the chock so clinical?

211
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,240
Meaning his mind is rejected him.

212
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: Finally, you expect me to feel sorry for him, missus.

213
00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 6: Lawson, only for yourself, because you were forced to do

214
00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:20,279
what you did. Shoot him. Talk with yourself, convince yourself

215
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,919
you did the only thing possible. My husband can't talk.

216
00:15:24,159 --> 00:15:25,600
Who's the happier man?

217
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:28,639
Speaker 2: I can't answer anything about your husband, missus Lawson. The

218
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:30,399
only thing I know about him for sure is that

219
00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:33,480
he shot a police officer. That he did that tempers

220
00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:34,759
all my thinking about him.

221
00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 6: How is the officer bad?

222
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:39,559
Speaker 2: Very bad?

223
00:15:40,679 --> 00:15:47,159
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I know you are, mister Clover. Yes, you

224
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,480
said you were sure only that Stanley shot a police officer.

225
00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:52,840
What about Alex Raymond?

226
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,759
Speaker 2: Your husband probably shot him too, probably before he passed out.

227
00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:02,360
Your husband said something, said that everything was a mistake

228
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:03,519
just then.

229
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:10,559
Speaker 6: But everything is a mistake, everything always is. Look at him,

230
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,519
a man, a life, Look what's become of it?

231
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: The resident says he has a good chance to live,

232
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:20,360
missus Lawson.

233
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 6: That's fine. May I be along with him for a

234
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,799
whiles to cover the Please.

235
00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: Don't perform me anymore.

236
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,039
Speaker 8: Out the window, Benny say.

237
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,159

00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 5: Your name is magic, Danny. I are you your hot

260
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: Helping quite a hole, Serge.

261
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 5: You're welcome. I'm sure I also got along and got

262
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:49,960
them you asked I should pick up on my.

263
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,319
Speaker 2: Way back upstairs. Yeah, you're a ball of fire today,

264
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:52,599
you know.

265
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,759
Speaker 5: Thank you, I'm sure, and then tott them. Number one,

266
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:59,480
the gun with which Stanley Lawson committed murder upon Alex Raymond,

267
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,119
and did Detective Kenny.

268
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: The boys can't find that. I haven't do it as yet,

269
00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:09,160
no loss. Some shoots out of that tenement window hits Kenny.

270
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,720
I'm going right after him. We can't find his gun.

271
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,680
This is a puzzle.

272
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 5: Then a fleeing fugitive off pauses away the weapon with

273
00:18:16,039 --> 00:18:19,079
which he commented, Mayhem threw a window down a pipe.

274
00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:22,400
That's what else have you got, you know, Adam Number

275
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,480
two concerning to decease Dalx Raymond, which you requested. It

276
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,359
seems that mister Raymond, as it must do, all men

277
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,000
have a girlfriend where a miss Gray's kildren Daddy Regent

278
00:18:32,079 --> 00:18:35,880
powers West twenty three. However, why you need such? I

279
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,039
may answer it for you, Danny, and go ahead, Danny

280
00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:40,680
Clovis office sergeant thought.

281
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: What No, Yeah, I'll tell him, tell me what you know.

282
00:18:52,880 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 9: Give me a minute, Kenny, Kenny the taptive, Kenny, he's dead.

283
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: Watch Gino turn, walk quickly out of the room, go

284
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:10,240
searching for some empty place where the quick sorrow can't

285
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:14,920
be seen heard, And in a little while look out

286
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,599
the wind of see him, hatless, without a coat, wandering

287
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,839
the sidewalk, wandering the autumn wind, go to him, hand

288
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,400
him his coat and walk with him. Try to ease

289
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,759
it from him, explain it to him, to yourself. The

290
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:36,000
stairs are the passers by. Tell you you're not doing

291
00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:45,319
real good. Then the brief time of being along with it,

292
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,640
the time it takes to get the twenty third street

293
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,119
to the region towers to a girl name of Grace Gilrin,

294
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:54,079
and for her instant in your life, let go of it.

295
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,759
Speaker 6: You're a policeman. Why won't they think?

296
00:19:57,839 --> 00:20:00,799
Speaker 2: Up next, we'll talk to you, missus Gilrin? Up to Alex.

297
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,839
Speaker 6: Alex Raymond. He's dead, you know, dead and gone?

298
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: You want to talk about it here in the hall?

299
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 6: Oh glad you thought of the first. Come on in

300
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:16,119
good good that Chimsey divan over there, you look good on.

301
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,559
Speaker 2: That Alex Raymond? Just about him.

302
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 10: I've read how you punched a bulletle and his killer.

303
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,440
What more can a man ask for?

304
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 2: Some things? I need to know.

305
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 6: About me, about me with Alex.

306
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 2: Do you ever talk to you about his factory, about

307
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,400
the people who work for him?

308
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,319
Speaker 10: You mean the boy who put it to Alex? You

309
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,960
mean Stanley Lawson.

310
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 2: Don't you know that's right?

311
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 6: Killer?

312
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,559
Speaker 10: Murderer, pale, little man like him? The things that go

313
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,559
on inside these pale little men. Surprise is a girl?

314
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: What did Raymond tell you about him?

315
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 6: Just enough to bring up the arms? How Lawson was

316
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,400
quite a designer.

317
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,319
Speaker 2: Then why did they fire him?

318
00:20:55,519 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 6: Beat me too? Especially after that XK twenty, the x

319
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:00,559
K t what's that?

320
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,799
Speaker 10: The secret weapon of the Raymond and Harper Company? A

321
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,920
toy rocket ship zooms fitz flame be toppy.

322
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,279
Speaker 6: You'll see them of the millions in the Christmas country.

323
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 2: Lowson designed it and they fired him for that.

324
00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:15,319
Speaker 10: You know now that you mention it, it makes me

325
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,559
one day. But what it was going to be a

326
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:21,599
surprise to Lawson. He brought in the first model of

327
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:24,319
the XK twenty last June, made it on his own time.

328
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:28,200
Alex and Edwin Harper looked at it and said it.

329
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 6: Was just nothing.

330
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 2: But you know what, just tell me.

331
00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:35,519
Speaker 10: They showed it to a buyer. Anyhow, the buyer ordered

332
00:21:35,559 --> 00:21:38,119
a thousand gross on the spot, so that a half

333
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,160
dozen other buyers.

334
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: But they didn't tell Lawson about it.

335
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 10: In fact, just to make it more of a surprise

336
00:21:44,279 --> 00:21:46,519
for laws and they had the toy manufactured by a

337
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:51,960
subcontractor out of town. I'll tell you something else. Alex

338
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,400
was pretty might make a midion out of that XK

339
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,480
twenty a million XK twenty.

340
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:00,759
Speaker 2: Where do you.

341
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 6: Confused? Is a girl like me? Hi? Donny, Danny, wait

342
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:21,480
for me?

343
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,759
Speaker 2: What's on your mind? You know here I should today

344
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,640
all wrapped up ready to go. Oh they found the gun?

345
00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:29,559
Speaker 6: Where wedge between them.

346
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,079
Speaker 5: To bring in an old tire in the backyard of

347
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:31,599
the tournament?

348
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,319
Speaker 2: Well lost? And then Daday Flora, how come I wasn't

349
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,960
found sooner? Why ask me?

350
00:22:36,079 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 5: I wasn't there?

351
00:22:36,759 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. Do something for me, you know, go

352
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,519
upstairs and get the fingerprints of everybody connected with this case.

353
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,720
Then take the Prince and the gun down the Gordon

354
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:47,160
technical Tell God'll be there in a half hour. Okay,

355
00:22:47,200 --> 00:23:07,480
Denny Well, Danny Clover, I make you that happy Jordan.

356
00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:12,160
Look Gordon. A little while ago, Sergeant A. Tagly came

357
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,279
down here with his grubby fizz a glow of things

358
00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:18,400
for Gordon. For me to take care for you, because

359
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,559
I'm the only one who can a gun and a

360
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:24,480
few sets of fingerprints, you know. My advice to you,

361
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,720
so help me. Gorton Bury sickly threats from such a

362
00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:30,759
big man. My advice to you Lieutenant is to keep

363
00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:34,079
your mouth open and amazement and let your jaw hang there.

364
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,599
I've got a goodie for you. Okay, what is it?

365
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,119
The prince on the gun? You know who those are?

366
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,839
Lieutenant Losses, A dead man, Alex Raymond, a man who

367
00:23:46,839 --> 00:23:50,839
felt dead in your arms yesterday afternoon? You kidding? If

368
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,079
I was kidding, you'd be laughing. But your jaws hanging

369
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,319
the way I said it would. Raymond, a man who

370
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,920
died yesterday afternoon, also left his and son a gun

371
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,519
that killed an officer who died last night. Very picky,

372
00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:06,119
isn't it?

373
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 6: Look?

374
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: Mister Clover to pick me up at my place and

375
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,079
I came along with you without questions. Don't you think

376
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,119
it's time you told me what this is all about.

377
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,000
The last apartment in this corridor is a homeless family lawson,

378
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,640
the man who used to be your toy designer. I see,

379
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,640
what do you expect me to do?

380
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:34,319
Speaker 6: Look at it?

381
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,079
Speaker 2: Feel sorry for the people in zis his wife the

382
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,440
only one inside? You'd better briefly on what I'm supposed

383
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,039
to say to a woman whose husband killed my partner,

384
00:24:43,839 --> 00:24:46,359
murdered an officer of the law. It'll come to.

385
00:24:46,319 --> 00:24:56,839
Speaker 6: You good evening, mister Clover, this lasso, this is mister Harper.

386
00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:01,599
Will youse come in? My husband talked about you often,

387
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:02,359
mister Harper.

388
00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 2: I want you to know how sorry I am about

389
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,920
what's happened. You're sorry, you really are, of course I am.

390
00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:16,319
That's strange, missus Lawson. I was brought here for what reason?

391
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,319
Speaker 6: I don't change because my husband always said you were

392
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,799
a shrewd businessman. He never told me you were a liar.

393
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,519
Speaker 2: Look, Clover, what is all this? You said you were

394
00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:29,640
sorry about what happened, and missus Lawson called you a liar.

395
00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:32,960
In fact, Missus Lawson, that you're the wife of a

396
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:35,960
murderer makes anything you say pretty unimportant.

397
00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 6: Mister Cloger, Yes, I talked to my husband about an

398
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:40,839
hour ago. I know.

399
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,039
Speaker 2: That's why we've come here. If you too want to

400
00:25:43,079 --> 00:25:45,079
chap your mind, if I leave mind.

401
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 6: You know all about it. Mister Kloger, the.

402
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,559
Speaker 2: Police stenographer was in the hospital room when you spoke

403
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:51,720
with your husband. Showed me the transcript.

404
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,079
Speaker 6: Do you believe what my husband told me?

405
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: Yes? Is your husband going to live?

406
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:06,319
Speaker 6: I don't know what about you, mister Happer, What what

407
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:06,839
about him?

408
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,599
Speaker 2: He's here? I suppose you just take me back where

409
00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:12,400
you got me. Mister Clover, just who do you think

410
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:12,640
you were?

411
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 6: Hopper?

412
00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: I wanted you to meet missus Lawson. I wanted you

413
00:26:16,279 --> 00:26:19,319
to see her home. Go ahead, look around. This is

414
00:26:19,319 --> 00:26:21,079
a home, mister Harper. This is a place where two

415
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,799
people made their lives. You'll never know what comes out

416
00:26:23,839 --> 00:26:25,759
of these homes you. I got a little piece of

417
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:30,640
news for you, Harper. Lawson didn't kill your partner. Crazy

418
00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:33,119
you were this, yeah, I know. But Lawson didn't kill

419
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,319
none of everything I've got fitted together. He didn't kill

420
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,960
now Colm Cord. Lawson went to Alex Raymond pleaded for

421
00:26:39,039 --> 00:26:41,519
his job, demanded his job because he was frantic, because

422
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:44,240
he'd given you and Raymond fifteen years of his life.

423
00:26:44,279 --> 00:26:47,799
Speaker 6: We paid him well, Thank you very much, mister Hopper.

424
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 2: Demanded his job. Raymond pulled a gun and told him

425
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,440
to get out. Bowson wouldn't. Raymond threatened him. There was

426
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,400
a fight. The gun went off. Raymond had shot himself

427
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,200
in the struggle. Lawson fled, but Raymond told you, I know, oh,

428
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,000
he told me Losson had shot him. It was Raymond's

429
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:06,200
revenge for dying. The alleged killer had fled. We made

430
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,960
only a curse research for the murder weapon. This is ridiculous.

431
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:09,920
I'm getting out of here.

432
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,759
Speaker 6: If you moved, mister Hawker, I'll find something to kill

433
00:27:12,759 --> 00:27:13,079
you with.

434
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,759
Speaker 2: I'll take care of him. Missus, what do you mean

435
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,200
you will take care of me? What have I got

436
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,400
to do with all this? Lawson called you, told you

437
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,519
what had happened, asked you to meet him, thanked for

438
00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:26,640
your help, demanded money to leave town. I told you

439
00:27:26,759 --> 00:27:29,839
that would hold except for one thing. A gun with

440
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,319
Raymond's prints on it. Not losson is because he never

441
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,319
held the gun. Ne held a gun he killed a

442
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,559
policeman with it, didn't lean No. After the phone call,

443
00:27:39,599 --> 00:27:41,720
you went to Raymond's apartment, found the gun that Raymond

444
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,599
had hidden away to make it appear that Lawson was

445
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,480
a murderer. Then you went to the tenement head.

446
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,799
Speaker 6: Why why should I do that?

447
00:27:51,079 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: I'll get to that. You hid in that tenement during

448
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,720
the stake of When I called it to Lawson, it

449
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:59,640
was you fired those shots, killed a policeman. You wore

450
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,240
gloves so that Raymond's princes would still be on the gun.

451
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,119
Now I'll tell you why you did all this. If

452
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,480
you can here wherever I am. This is why you

453
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:15,400
did it. Raymond was dead. You got a new toy

454
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,160
on the market that's going to make you a lot

455
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,240
of money, the toy that lost and brought you get

456
00:28:20,319 --> 00:28:22,319
him out of the way, and all that money was yours.

457
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,519
No strings, No give me that gun, missus laws.

458
00:28:26,519 --> 00:28:28,519
Speaker 6: You don't try to take it away from me. Do

459
00:28:28,519 --> 00:28:31,119
you understand about me, mister Clover? You know what I do?

460
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I know.

461
00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 6: Pray for something, mister Harper, All right.

462
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 2: All right, I confess to you. I did it. I

463
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,240
did everything he said.

464
00:28:43,319 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 6: But don't do me. Is that what you call a prayer?

465
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,799
Don't let her do it? Please? Please?

466
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: How did I go?

467
00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: Want to die?

468
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,759
Speaker 6: He won't listen to me. Killing?

469
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: Killing? This is what you wanted, is miss missus Lawson.

470
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's enough. Take him on.

471
00:29:35,359 --> 00:29:38,519
Speaker 2: Broadway is sleeping now, and the people of the chasm

472
00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:42,880
have gone home. Only the sleepwalkers are there, and the

473
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,559
dream seekers.

474
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 6: The shadow dwellers.

475
00:29:46,759 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: It's slimble time when the sodden dance, the derelicts, the

476
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:58,920
hugger is close of nothing. It's Broadway, the gaudiest, the

477
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:08,559
most violent, the monsromous mile in the world. Broadway My Beat.

478
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 11: Tonight on FPN presents You've been listening to some of

the best in radio drama with Bibber McGhee and Molly

480
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:31,079
and Broadway as My Beats. Join us again Monday evening

481
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,480
at the same time Mine Old Fox whenn presents drag

482
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:36,440
Nets and.

483
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 8: Escape Welcome Back.

484
00:30:58,319 --> 00:31:04,079
Speaker 1: Well, I really episode. I love the mystery and the

485
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,880
solution to the case, and there were also some good

486
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:13,319
emotional moments, including the final confrontation. Now, of course, the

487
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,359
confession that was provided is not going to be legally admissible,

488
00:31:19,119 --> 00:31:22,599
but I don't think that was really the point, at

489
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,359
least not on the wife's part. It gave her this

490
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:30,640
cathartic moment in the face of a man who tried

491
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:36,920
to ruin her husband's life and her life for financial

492
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:43,559
gain and to steal from them this grand invention and

493
00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:46,559
what he was willing to do in order to make

494
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:52,759
that happen. I do have to say that Raymond is

495
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:59,640
exceedingly spotful. There's a reason that we tend to take

496
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:06,160
dying declarations seriously, because most people when they're dying aren't

497
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,920
going to lie. But I guess there are exceptions to

498
00:32:10,039 --> 00:32:19,519
every rule. Also, like the moment when Tartaglia learned of

499
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:24,319
Officer Kenney's death and was so affected by it, and

500
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,480
Danny coming to his aid with his coat. It's a

501
00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:32,440
great moment, and in a weird way, it's a very

502
00:32:32,839 --> 00:32:37,640
visual scene, which you don't usually talk about much in audio,

503
00:32:37,799 --> 00:32:41,039
but I think this is a great example of it.

504
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,480
You just imagine that picture in your mind, and it

505
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:53,559
does reflect that Danny really does care about Tartaglia as

506
00:32:53,599 --> 00:32:57,920
a person. But the scene was still an understated scene

507
00:32:58,119 --> 00:33:01,359
even though it was told to ex position, which can

508
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,480
be a tricky balance to strike. Of course, they still

509
00:33:05,559 --> 00:33:09,039
had a job to do, and even though Danny cared

510
00:33:09,119 --> 00:33:13,880
for Tartanklia, he gave him the unenviable task of going

511
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,839
to see Gordon.

512
00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 8: Gordon is by.

513
00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: Far the most insufferable recurring character on this program. He

514
00:33:22,319 --> 00:33:33,480
manages to make simple ratory tests that any forensic criminologists

515
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,000
anywhere else in the country would just do and not

516
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,279
make a big deal about. He tends to want to

517
00:33:42,039 --> 00:33:45,599
build him up like they're the labors of Hercules, and

518
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:51,400
he is an intellectual giant towering above humanity. I mean

519
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,400
I at the time, I was somewhat critical of Danny's

520
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:02,799
overbearing narration about the people from Technical But if we

521
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,960
had introduced Gordon before that scene, I don't think I

522
00:34:08,039 --> 00:34:11,960
could be critical at all. All right, well, listener comments

523
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,039
and feedback now, and we are going to Patreon where

524
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:19,519
Emmett comments on our four thousand, nine hundred and fiftieth

525
00:34:19,519 --> 00:34:24,039
episode special. What a pleasant surprise this one was. All

526
00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:28,320
too often comedy doesn't age well, certainly not as well

527
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,519
as a mystery. This one, though, seemed to have a

528
00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:33,920
totally different attitude, and I found myself laughing out loud

529
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,719
at some of the lines. I kind of thought he'd

530
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,880
fall into a trash can, but finding a melon, a

531
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,159
melon in his mouth was laugh out loud funny. I

532
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:45,280
hope you can find a few others in this series

533
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,119
that may be similar. Well, I don't know if we'll

534
00:34:48,119 --> 00:34:51,119
find any more like that. Emma and I appreciate the comment,

535
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:57,159
but proudly we hail did a lot of different episodes

536
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,920
in a variety of styles, and hopefully we will get

537
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,920
a chance to revisit that series, because it, in my mind,

538
00:35:06,039 --> 00:35:10,159
is a bit underrated for just some good usually like

539
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:16,360
comedy or what dramatic entertainment, though occasionally a little bit

540
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,800
of military adventure thrown in. But again, thanks so much

541
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,320
appreciate the comment Emitt. Now it's time to thank our

552
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 2: The purpose of the record may we ask whether that

553
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,320
was in the morning or the afternoon.

554
00:36:05,599 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 4: Was that in the morning or in the PM PM?

555
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: Can you tell us what she saw the defendant do

556
00:36:10,519 --> 00:36:12,400
and what you heard him say at that place.

557
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: You made before the hold up at nine thirty? Please

558
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,280
tell us what occurred? Well, I came in about nine

559
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,719
thirty the place. He was already sitting there at the bar.

560
00:36:22,639 --> 00:36:23,119
Speaker 2: Continue.

561
00:36:23,639 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 12: I came in and sat down at the end of

562
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,800
the bar. He was sitting about five stools from the door.

563
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:35,159
Friend of mine, Doris Senway, she's here now. Doris was

564
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,800
sitting near him. I would open talk to Doris for

565
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,559
a while. The man didn't say anything, he was just

566
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:40,079
sitting there.

567
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 4: Did you see him drinking anything? Yes, he's drinking scotch

568
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,039
and soda. You're the wife of George Holloway deceased. Is

569
00:36:47,039 --> 00:36:49,760
that correct? Yes? Was he present then?

570
00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 6: Baby?

571
00:36:51,079 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 4: Was your husband George Holloway present at that time? Yes,

572
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,599
he's tending the bar by that.

573
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,599
Speaker 2: Do you mean that your husband, yourself and the defendant

574
00:36:58,599 --> 00:36:59,679
were the only person's present.

575
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 6: No.

576
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 4: Oh, my friend Dorris Fendley, who's the singer there too.

577
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,800
I don't know who he had. He sat next to

578
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:06,360
the defendant.

579
00:37:07,039 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 12: What it could Then, as we were ready to close

580
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,440
the front door, my husband noticed the light and men's worship.

581
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,519
Speaker 8: I moved that go out.

582
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 4: What her husband notice as a conclusion and witness they

583
00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:18,360
go out?

584
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 12: Well anyway, my husband went back in to put the

585
00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:26,519
light up. URIs Fendlack and I went up to the sidewalk,

586
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,239
so did the sayer and Defello did too.

587
00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: Yes, I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime,
