This 537 00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:54,400 Monday night on most of these same CBS radio stations. 538 00:29:54,759 --> 00:29:58,319 Remember it's your next attraction on Lux Radio Theater, Bill 539 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,599 Andrews speaking. And remember my Friend or Live enjoy Sunday 540 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,799 Evenings on the CBS Radio. 541 00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 9: Network, m. 542 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,319 Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well. Of all the stereotypical sins of the 543 00:31:05,359 --> 00:31:09,160 Milkmen of ages past, blackmail is a new one on me. 544 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,440 And it does seem that in the general scheme of things, 545 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,559 the main people he would be able to blackmail would 546 00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:24,400 not be that well off. But again, as his wife indicated, 547 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:30,279 it wasn't like a regular income stream, but he was 548 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,880 willing to milk his position for whatever extra money he 549 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,839 could get. Yes, I did say that, and I'm not sorry. 550 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,400 It is worth noting that we had a bit of 551 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,119 a time jump in the episodes, and that is because 552 00:31:47,319 --> 00:31:52,640 there were actually some lost episodes in between the episode 553 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,200 we played last week and this week's And there will 554 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,400 also be a two week gap after this week's program, 555 00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:06,920 with four of five episodes missing in a five week period. 556 00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:11,200 And I would say that nineteen fifty two there are 557 00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:15,480 a lot of lost episodes of Broadways My Beat. We 558 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:20,880 were fairly fortunate. After Larry Thorp took over the rule 559 00:32:21,319 --> 00:32:27,559 that nineteen forty nine, fifty and fifty one were almost 560 00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:31,839 entirely intact, and most of the nineteen fifty three episodes 561 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,720 are in circulation as well, but this nineteen fifty two 562 00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:40,160 a lot of missing episodes.

Who's this? It 577 00:33:27,119 --> 00:33:28,920 made the report Carl Shelton, Who's he. 578 00:33:29,119 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 14: Is her boyfriend. Miss Baker's husband died about five years ago. 579 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,200 It's been running around quite a bit since then. Had 580 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,000 a lot of man trouble, and she disappeared before then. Huh, yeah, 581 00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:39,960 half dozen times. Never been gone this long though. Holmes 582 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,240 took this report from Shelton. He gathered Miss Baker's not 583 00:33:42,319 --> 00:33:44,400 too stable. She's going to drink quite a bit. Doesn't 584 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,079 seem to care anything for her home or kids. 585 00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:49,039 Speaker 15: Seeing here she has four children. They're living with her aunt, 586 00:33:49,119 --> 00:33:51,519 missus Baker's sister. It's kind of a funny arrangement in there. 587 00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:51,759 Speaker 6: Yeah. 588 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,799 Speaker 14: Baker woman packed her bags and walked out of the 589 00:33:53,839 --> 00:33:55,920 house about a year ago. Her sister's been taking care 590 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,880 of the kids ever since. My mother comes back for 591 00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,599 a visit once in a while. 592 00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 15: Dress we've got on missus Baker. It's the same address 593 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,400 as her boyfriend, Carl Shelton. 594 00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 14: Yeah, that's right. They both have apartments in the same building. 595 00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:08,039 Speaker 15: Was this a recent picture? 596 00:34:08,039 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 14: Miss Baker supposed to be ye, a nice looking woman. 597 00:34:11,079 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 6: Huh. 598 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,199 Speaker 15: Sister's listed here as the last person who's sorrow. Well, 599 00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,360 how's that? Baker Woman still wasn't living at home, was she? 600 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 14: According to the sister, Miss Baker came over to the 601 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,440 house to see her the night she disappeared, sometime around 602 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,639 eight o'clock two of them had some business to talk over. 603 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,280 Seems the sister had a check for four hundred dollars 604 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,639 she got them selling some furniture. Claimed the kids had 605 00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:29,159 been sick, she had doctor bills to pay. 606 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,039 Speaker 15: You mean, missus Baker's sister took care of things to 607 00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:31,480 that extent. 608 00:34:31,559 --> 00:34:34,039 Speaker 14: Apparently, anyway, after the sister got the check for selling 609 00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:36,960 the furniture, Miss Baker wanted half the money. Sister said, 610 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,440 that's why she came to see her. That night, two 611 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:39,599 of them got in the car and went out to 612 00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:42,079 find somebody to cash a check. Want drink of water? 613 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 15: No, no thanks, sir. Where do you get a four 614 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,599 hundred dollars check cash at eight o'clock at night? 615 00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 6: Would you know? Sister? 616 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 14: Sitting in Miss Dickon, did somebody good cash at farm? 617 00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:52,920 Turned out the person couldn't cash it. Sister stopped at 618 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,960 the bar for glass of beer. As a Baker took 619 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,480 a car and want to look up somebody else she 620 00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:57,280 thought could cash it. 621 00:34:57,639 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 6: That was it. 622 00:34:58,079 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 14: Miss Baker hadn't been seen since. 623 00:35:00,079 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 15: Who was it? Somebody else? 624 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:02,159 Speaker 6: Well? I do? 625 00:35:02,599 --> 00:35:05,119 Speaker 14: Sister claims she doesn't know.
