Elgin murder case.

14
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: Broadways might be from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest,

15
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:40,159
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

16
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,519
Speaker 3: Broadways might be with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.

17
00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:58,640
The time comes to Broadway when the April days summons,

18
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,359
it's warmth, It's wins, it's plume, sprays of sunlight departs,

19
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:05,359
the avenue littered with its promises, and the defeated and

20
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:08,919
the unfulfilled swarm back into the subway entrances, and wait

21
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:12,840
on the stifling platforms in the dim sallow light reflected

22
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,159
from walls of stained pile.

23
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: Wait for the going home. Wait for the death of

24
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280
the day to happen in some other place, the hall, bedroom,

25
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:22,759
the front stoop, some other place where shock will be gentler.

26
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,599
And suddenly through the steel cor udor, a hot, dry

27
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,879
wind races in the depths of earth and on at

28
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,759
the fury of hurtling steel, and they search forward to

29
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:40,719
meet it. Soon there will be home in your opfice

30
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:44,759
at headquarters. The april twilight drifts in somehow. It's touch

31
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,360
startles the man you've been talking to.

32
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: Hey, it's evening. It's evening already. What do you know?

33
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,719
How long have I been stilling my heart out to you,

34
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:52,800
mister cloverd An hour?

35
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:53,599
Speaker 5: Maybe more?

36
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 4: Time flies? A guide tries to clean up his conscience,

37
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,000
ease the stall when it takes long, and he I

38
00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:03,240
ain't keeping you frominuting, mister Clovin, No, you.

39
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:05,319
Speaker 5: Got all the time in ed, Miss Greenhouse go on.

40
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 4: Oh, not much more to tell her except what I

41
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:10,840
told I see it might take place. I reported the

42
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,840
common decency.

43
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: I figured once you call a murder took place over

44
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,960
a week ago. How come it took you so long

45
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,919
to give in to the call of decency.

46
00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 4: You got to point there, mister Clovern. Tell me see

47
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,759
if I can explain it, to try hard with all

48
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:26,280
my might. I was a book he once like, I

49
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,759
told you. You told me, look, let me readcap it. Huh,

50
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,800
So maybe it'll make sense to you. It takes me

51
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,840
a week plus to confess I saw a man push

52
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,000
another man off a roof.

53
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 5: You were a book. You take it from there.

54
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, a bookie, I tell you. Boys came up with

55
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,439
a thing to trottle initiative, full a pioneer impulse of it.

56
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,479
So I pitted my brain against society. Try to come

57
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,159
up with a respectable die to earn my nut, waffles

58
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:50,719
and juice. But my mind has been in such a

59
00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:53,560
tight rep with twelve years of making books. All I

60
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,879
can come up with is biglery.

61
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:57,039
Speaker 2: That's when you saw it happen. When you were robbing

62
00:03:57,039 --> 00:03:58,319
an apartment in the East thirties.

63
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,759
Speaker 4: You got a woman, says I robbed. I didn't I

64
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:03,039
tell you this murder made such an impact on my conscience.

65
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,400
I didn't rob and I never will.

66
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:07,039
Speaker 2: According to our books, what you saw was a suicide

67
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:08,879
suicide of a man named John Elgin.

68
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: Her books can be mistaken as me.

69
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: I know you could identify the man if we found him.

70
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,680
The man you say porstelgient off the roof, the man

71
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,319
you say as a.

72
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,199
Speaker 4: Murderer, identify him. I would draw my eyes into slits,

73
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:25,720
pretend I was in the emotional tumboil of over a

74
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,160
week ago, witnessing event from a fire escape across the airway,

75
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:32,240
and I would try to identify him. You find him,

76
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,519
and I sure would try, But I make no promises.

77
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I ask your pardon, mister Greenhouse.

78
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: It's okay, But for one I.

79
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 5: Didn't let you finish telling me why it took you

80
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:44,439
this long to come to us with what you saw.

81
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 4: I forget it, kid, It was like this. I had

82
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:52,639
some washington do with conscience, my past, the foolish notion

83
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,279
I could be a successful bugglar, which I am obviously

84
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,639
not equipped to emotional This washing took me such a time.

85
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:03,000
I now give it to you to hang out the drive.

86
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 5: All right. You can go for now forever.

87
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:08,199
Speaker 4: I can go, mister Clover, I can forget. I saw

88
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,240
a miter with my own eyes. Well, thanks for everything,

89
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:16,600
You've been a dream.

90
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:19,759
Speaker 5: And watch him as he moves to the door stops.

91
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 6: I'm glad I gave here what a load off the old.

92
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:29,319
Speaker 2: Ship, and leaves the complete man, the happy citizen. Then

93
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,040
turn your swivel chair around the window briefly watch the

94
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,600
city leap into the night, and hear the sounds of

95
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:38,000
it as quick and new and fleeting as spring wind

96
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,160
on the strings of a harp. Walk away from it,

97
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,959
because the quality of this night is laced through with deathtalk,

98
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:45,560
and so for a policeman, this.

99
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:46,439
Speaker 5: Night is work time.

100
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,519

car spotlight, and four flights up and walked back, and

104
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:19,839

My name is Danny Clover. I'm fem the police.

106
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:24,959
Speaker 7: Another one. I thought whatever business I had with you

107
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,800
people about my husband was over done with.

108
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 5: There's a few more questions, miss Alton mac.

112
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 4: Yes, I see.

113
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,319
Speaker 2: Well, has it occurred to you that someone might have

114
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:52,079
pushed your husband off the roof? No, suppose I told

115
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,160
you someone had seen your husband murdered. Well, well that's

116
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,720
what I'm telling you. Someone saw it happen. Did your

117
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:01,680
husban make a habit of spending much time.

118
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:01,959
Speaker 5: Off the roof?

119
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,199
Speaker 7: Who saw my husband murdering?

120
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: That doesn't matter right now. What matters is that it's

121
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:07,600
going to start all over again. Missus alget a whole

122
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:08,519
new investigation.

123
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 8: I see, all right.

124
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 7: My husband and I didn't get along. There was some

125
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,000
talk of divorce, never materialized. My husband was a moody man.

126
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,079
Speaker 8: He used to take walks. He used to walk down

127
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,120
the hall, up.

128
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 7: The steps, onto the roof and stare and smoke and pace.

129
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:37,199
Speaker 8: One night he jumped. Now now what now, Take.

130
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 7: Each one of the statements I just made and investigate them.

131
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 8: Who saw my husband murdered? I told you, yes, you

132
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,319
did very well. Lie to me.

133
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,839
Speaker 7: If this is a method, do it. No one saw

134
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:54,439
my husband murdered. Of course, my husband's dead. My husband

135
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,279
killed himself.

136
00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 8: I hope you resting. I'll get out of here.

137
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,399
Speaker 9: Don't move, Danny. I make this request of you, just

138
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,839

139
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:23,959
Congratulate me.

140
00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: Something good has happened to you, Gino, the best.

141
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 9: The natal day of my youngest. The media is writing

142
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:33,600
Feenni across yon Spring sky. It was a beautiful day

143
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,200
for the first day of my youngest Vanny.

144
00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:38,039
Speaker 5: You should have told me before, Gino, I forgot. I

145
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,879
would to have presented her with a present. What's a

146
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,799
present when you can do what you can do?

147
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:43,799
Speaker 3: What can I do?

148
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 5: You know?

149
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 9: At your leisure, call up my Amedia on the talib

150
00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:50,200
wish her the many happy returns for a girl who

151
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,440
had just become a woman of eleven years, Vannie, A

152
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:54,399
call from such a gold and a fellow wishing her

153
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,679
a wish. What more can such a woman.

154
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: As I'll do it, Gino, first three minute, I get well.

155
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 5: I remember the.

156
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 9: Night she came to us, how almost she was born

157
00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:07,360
under the sign of the flying red horse. Right, the

158
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,960
sign of the flying red horse, Danny Well, I had

159
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,279
to stop at the gas station to refuel the baroque

160
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:14,919
machine in which Missus Tartagli and I were making our

161
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,720
schedule journey to the hospital. All this, of course explains

162
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:21,919
my immediate's interest in such posies as Pegasus is, and

163
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,159
that the beasties that fly with four legs.

164
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:27,039
Speaker 5: Of course, well, Danny, now that we.

165
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,279
Speaker 2: Have disposed of the fruits and flipperies, the work not

166
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,559
whatever you say, you know.

167
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:33,799

Speaker 2: The ride with Detective Muguvan now up Riverside Drive, and

185
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,559
this time of night is one with the river black,

186
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,440
and the lights flung downward from places far away shimmer

187
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:28,919
briefly and they're gone, and the swift, ebbing figures walking

188
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,879
hand in hand by the water, and the lonely ones

189
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:35,360
who stare at the moon's curved reflection, and the huddled

190
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:38,720
ones who look for nothing at all. The river at

191
00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:41,879
ten o'clock on a spring night, take a turn on

192
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:44,919

193
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:49,279

Speaker 8: Oh, I don't come in. You're going to stay long

199
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:12,919

Speaker 1: One.

204
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:29,399
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find out some background about John Elgin.

205
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:32,159
Speaker 8: Your name came up on a kound of that rage.

206
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 10: That's right.

207
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 5: Was that the only night you were worth mees Stralgian.

208
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,399
Speaker 8: I had about a year with him. Mister you want

209
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:41,519
to try to believe something, I'll tell you something. I

210
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,519
almost married him.

211
00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:43,799
Speaker 5: He had a wife.

212
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:47,639
Speaker 8: I know. I met her. I had a chat with

213
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,440
her and tea with her. Handshakes, looks into each other's eyes. Woman,

214
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:57,080
the woman very civilizing up to the minute. Afternoon I

215
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,759
rang a bell and told her I was in love

216
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:00,200
with her husband and wanted to marry.

217
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,759
Speaker 5: What was her reaction, smile?

218
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,759
Speaker 8: She was all for us. She didn't like mister Eligin.

219
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:09,840
She told me that when bent from the waist to

220
00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:12,120
pour the tea and looked up at me and smiled.

221
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:15,679
About a month ago, this tremendous thing happened.

222
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 5: Missus Elgin was going to divorce her husband, and you

223
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:19,240
were going to marry him.

224
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 8: That right, the plans I had.

225
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:23,799
Speaker 5: What's happened?

226
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 8: Pick up that book besides you, mister Warren p it's

227
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,360
called I can't understand what it's about. The music I

228
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,000
was listening to.

229
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 10: I don't know what it's about either.

230
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,879
Speaker 8: Mister Elgin gave me those things. Another thing. Firstie said

231
00:12:40,879 --> 00:12:42,639
he loved me, and then he was going to educate

232
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,399
me from something simple. Everything got complicated.

233
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,279
Speaker 10: It's divorced.

234
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:49,919
Speaker 8: I don't know.

235
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,159
Speaker 5: So you broke it up?

236
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah I did. I couldn't be a wife to

237
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,960
mister Eligin. But see there I go again, calling him

238
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,639
mister Eligion. I never could get around to call him

239
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:05,440
by his first name. I sent him back to his

240
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,240
wife and told him to stay there. And he thought

241
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,480
that was the best idea. You see a girl like

242
00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:13,879
me wants what do I want?

243
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 2: Can you tell me why anybody would want to murder

244
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:17,200
John Elgin?

245
00:13:17,879 --> 00:13:23,279
Speaker 8: I don't know, I don't know anything. Maybe I should

246
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,919
have married him. Now what have I got to date

247
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:38,120
with a guy at eleven thirty? I guess you'd better

248
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,519
go now if that's all you want.

249
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: Good night, Miss Henry. Danny, let's go, Michael, Yeah, let's go.

250
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: Let's just go over the radio. Danny.

251
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 5: You're shooting two blocks from here. Liquor store. Come on.

252
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: There he is, I mean back a little more.

253
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: What's your name, mister ray Ford?

254
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 5: This is my liquor store, all right?

255
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:34,159
Speaker 6: Tell me what happened A couple of minutes ago.

256
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: That guy on the floor there walked in there for

257
00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:38,480
a bottle of booze. I gave it to him, and

258
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,279
he broke the bottle in the counter and shoved it

259
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,519
at me and said, give him money.

260
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm going to get to a hospital or something.

261
00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:47,000
My hands bleeding like a stuck pick. How'd your hand

262
00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:47,679
get cut like that?

263
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: A little tussledly, and I got the bottle from him.

264
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:54,279
He kept coming, so I took my gun from under

265
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:54,559
the counter.

266
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,679
Speaker 5: And I'm having you know who the man is you shot?

267
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:57,559
How do I know?

268
00:14:57,759 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: I know his name's Greenhow that is Wallet? Then I

269
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:03,720
didn't have to he was in my office a few

270
00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:06,480
hours ago to report a murder. They also told me

271
00:15:06,519 --> 00:15:09,159
how fast time fled. He told me he wanted to

272
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:10,799
have a clean conscience.

273
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,399
Speaker 10: As he did.

274
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, dead, you.

275
00:15:25,039 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: Are listening too, Broadways My Beat written by Martin Fine

276
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,879
and David Freakin and starring Larry Thor as Detective Danny.

277
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:35,600
Goover now a few words from Burt Lancaster, star of

278
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:37,679
the motion picture The Crimson Pirates.

279
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 5: This is Burt Lancaster.

280
00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:41,799
Speaker 11: I've been doing quite a bit of traveling around the

281
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,600
world lately, either on location or making personal appearances. But

282
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:47,720
I always keep in touch with Hollywood by listening to

283
00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:51,120
the Lux Radio Theater every Monday night over the CBS

284
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,960
Radio Network. To radio actors, the Lux Radio Theater is

285
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,039
Hollywood because you can always be sure of hearing the

286
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,360
latest and best motion pictures with the original stars. Why

287
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:04,559
don't you tune in with me to the CBS Radio

288
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,440
Network next Monday night. And here's some fine entertainment on

289
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,519
the MUX Radio Theater this Monday.

290
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: On most of these same CBS radio stations, Lux Radio

291
00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:18,000
Theater stars William Holden, Nancy Olsen, and Lyle Becker in

292
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:32,440
Union Station. When April comes to New York, Broadway slows

293
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,480
down its pace to let spring come in. The walk

294
00:16:35,559 --> 00:16:38,759
is a kind of dream walk, languorous rhythm to a

295
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,480
pulse of cadence, neon to sun worn blue yonder a

296
00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:45,759
loud speaker. And when nighttime comes, the street is filled

297
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:48,399
with the sudden traceries of color that dart and ebb

298
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,600
and dart again, and the swift laughter that spills out

299
00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:55,559
of doorways, perfume, warm and intimate fleeting.

300
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,039
Speaker 2: So follow the crowd on Broadway, lend your heart to it.

301
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,360
Maybe this night will never get away from you, but

302
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:11,000
it does. It always does. In the corner of night

303
00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:13,200
where I was, there was no quality to the color,

304
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:16,400
or white walls touched one another, the pyramids of shadow

305
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,640
in between the emergency hospital and doctor Sinski and a

306
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,759
man whose hand have been cut.

307
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 5: I think it'll leave a skydick.

308
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,559
Speaker 12: Over a period of time, it'll go away, perhaps a

309
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:28,640
slight itching now and then you are a lucky man,

310
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,640
mister Ford. No ligaments were injured, and now hold still

311
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:32,480
for just another minute.

312
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 5: What are you live?

313
00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:36,279
Speaker 2: Mister for twelve twelve West End Aven to watch that bandage, dock.

314
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 5: He was a little tight watch watch it.

315
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,759
Speaker 12: My prerogative is a physician, mister Ford, to calculate of

316
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:45,680
a bandage, whether or not it gives you some pain.

317
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,920
Please don't jerk your hand away again.

318
00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 5: Do you have a license for this gun? You killed

319
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,200
Greenhow with you kidding? No, I'm not kidding.

320
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 3: I've been your armid album, mister Ford.

321
00:17:54,839 --> 00:17:57,279
Speaker 2: Sure, I got a license for it. My store was

322
00:17:57,279 --> 00:17:59,920
held at five times Clover after number five I got

323
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:02,440
a license. I get tired of donating to the hoodlum

324
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,000
Society of NYC, and I slipped this around.

325
00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: Please, mister Ford, a little cooperation.

326
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 10: This is just a slip.

327
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:11,599
Speaker 5: Thank you.

328
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: Never hear of a man named John Elgin, mister Ford Elgin,

329
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:19,279
that's right John Elgin, and says pish, Now do.

330
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 12: All right in a few days, go to your family position.

331
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:24,920
Let him look at that hand and address it and

332
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,960
take out the stitches when and tealing, get off the table.

333
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,759

00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,680

00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,599
seep into the room, blend with the accurate scent of

347
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,079
pain present, pain passed. The night wind of spring ripples

348
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:10,039
a discarded ribbon of gauze stained with scarlet floats. It

349
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,559
traps it against your ankle. So leave this sedge of

350
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,559

356
00:19:33,559 --> 00:19:35,920
violence to kill. A man who said a murder was committed,

had seen the cascade of depth from a rooftop, the

358
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:43,279

Speaker 2: Ray, how'd you get a clover? You killed a man

478
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,759

479
00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:47,240
Margaret's husband was murdered.

480
00:25:47,319 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, he told you Margaret's husband was murdered. So who

481
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,680
else is he gonna tell? No one? You took care

482
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,039

00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,559
knocked over five times? Kiss the heistand them your register? Yeah?

484
00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:01,599
Greenhow wasn't killed in your store? Ray, where'd you kill him? Here?

485
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,960
You going natsy? Sure?

486
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,599
Speaker 2: I killed him in the store? Blood all over him?

487
00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:06,480
Wasn't there where I shot him?

488
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:07,039
Speaker 5: Your blood?

489
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: You cut your hand on purpose after you shot him. Look, Ray,

490
00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:13,039
there are a couple of things I can do. Have

491
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,319
test run on your blood type in Greenhouse, or have

492
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,960
technicians tear this house apart looking for signs of blood.

493
00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:22,079
Speaker 5: I figure this is where you kill them. You raise,

494
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,640
you're in a lot of trouble. Shut up.

495
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 8: I didn't say very much. I just shut up.

496
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: You killed Greenhouse because he saw you push mister Elgin

497
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,279
out the roof because he was blackmailing.

498
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,279
Speaker 5: You told him that, Margaret.

499
00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 10: He told me to shut up, and I'm.

500
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,839
Speaker 5: You told him that Margaret. He didn't need to. I

501
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,839
learned that Greenhouse paid off an old debt. I have

502
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,720
big death. So I'd asked myself a question, Where'd he

503
00:26:42,759 --> 00:26:45,720
get the money? And why did he get the money? Why?

504
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,519
Because he saw one man kill another? What did I

505
00:26:48,599 --> 00:26:51,440
kill John Elgin for? What motive did I have? You

506
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,960
gotta have a reason, You gotta have a motet. You

507
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:53,480
had a motive.

508
00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: Margaret still look good to you, Rayn You almost have Margaret.

509
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,119
When her husband's fill in love with another woman. He

510
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,480
went over it, went back to Margaret.

511
00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 7: It was very touching. Gave me a speech, but there

512
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:06,680
wasn't going to be a divorce ever.

513
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 8: He said, let's start.

514
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 4: All over again.

515
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 7: You remember, ray I tried to explain that to you.

516
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 3: You're so hot, tempered hot.

517
00:27:16,559 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 5: It's over now, right, a little X book.

518
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: You knew you were a murderer and blackmailed you, and

519
00:27:20,599 --> 00:27:23,119
you got tired of pay him, so he came to me,

520
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,160
labeled it murder and went away. And greenhow wasn't liad?

521
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,000
He didn't tell you, Joe lilt. That's right, Greenhow didn't

522
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:34,119
identify it? He just came to the police to frighten you.

523
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,160
He just reported a murder. When he came back here

524
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,000
to tell you what he'd done, you killed him.

525
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:41,799
Speaker 5: Margaret helped me?

526
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 7: Can I talk now?

527
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 3: Ray help?

528
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,799
Speaker 8: You never said your name? Why didn't you pay him?

529
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 5: Would you would have said it?

530
00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:57,759
Speaker 8: Look how hot tempered? No him burns a life.

531
00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:02,279
Speaker 10: One mm hmmmmm.

532
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 2: There's a special moon over Broadway tonight. It dips low

533
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,000
and mixes with the laughter and the clack of heels

534
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,720
and the light flung downwards and the spectaculars, and people

535
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,039
look at it, point at it, wink at it, run

536
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:35,039
into whatever shadow they've planned for the night. It's Broadway,

537
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:41,759
the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

538
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:52,039
Speaker 5: Broadway My Beat.

539
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:07,039
Speaker 3: Broadway's My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover,

540
00:29:07,319 --> 00:29:10,920
with Charles Calvert as Tartaglia and Jack Krushian as Margapus.

541
00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:14,240
The program was produced and directed by Elliott Lewis, with

542
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,240
musical score composed and conducted by Alexander Courage. In tonight's story,

543
00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:22,279
Louise Lewis was heard as Margaret Elgin and Bill Bouchet

544
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,640
as ray Ford featured in the cast were shot atte Lawrence,

545
00:29:25,759 --> 00:29:49,440
Billy Hallip and Steve Roberts. Don't forget Monday Nights. It's

546
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,559
starth the godfriest talent scouts for fun and variety entertainment galore.

547
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:58,759
Most of these same CBS radio stations. Bill Anders speaking

548
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,279
and remember Robert reports the news of the world every

549
00:30:02,359 --> 00:30:33,359
Sunday on the CBS Radio Network.

550
00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:11,279
Speaker 1: Welcome back well once again. Gino and Danny's moments are

551
00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:17,480
real highlights as he talks about his daughter's birthday, and

552
00:31:17,799 --> 00:31:22,680
it reflects some interesting ideas because he doesn't ask Danny

553
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,680
or some material gift for that'd be tacky anyway, but

554
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,480
rather just phone call to let her know that she

555
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:39,079
matters to an important adult like Lieutenant Danny Clover. It's

556
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:45,119
just the most incredibly wholesome thing and another example of

557
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:51,359
how Artaglia brings light and humanity to not only his

558
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,680
life but that of Danny in maybe the audience as

559
00:31:54,759 --> 00:32:00,000
well as to the mystery itself. It becomes pretty clear

560
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:06,160
cut after Ferry Greenhouse is killed. I pretty much assumed

561
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,160
at that moment that four did it and was waiting

562
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,839
for some twist to shake me loose of that, and

563
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,400
of course it didn't come. I think it is a

564
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,839
fair explanation that he's hot headed, which is why he

565
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,160
took action that got police attention that wouldn't have been

566
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:30,039
there otherwise, and I guess four potential blackmailers. It highlights

567
00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:34,759
one of the risk of doing business that being blackmailed

568
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:41,359
often puts people in an unreasonable mindset. Consequences of that

569
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:44,960
can be quite unpredictable. Now it's time to thank our

00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:24,119
Speaker 15: That ware over here on the table, nurse put the

581
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,039
woman's clothing over there, night down slippers, bathroom.

582
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,119
Speaker 10: I see wants to be a fairly out.

583
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,079
Speaker 15: One, i'd say in her early thirties. Nice looking girl,

584
00:33:32,759 --> 00:33:36,480
well groomed nose, her hair and fingernauts, well kept bruise

585
00:33:36,519 --> 00:33:38,359
there on her head. Took a pretty good blow to

586
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,400
cause that. When you say, yeah, it might even be

587
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,000
worse than it looks. Had to say right now. Other

588
00:33:44,039 --> 00:33:46,640
abrasions I was telling you about right here, learning the

589
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,759
classical seem to be fairly distinct. So you're forum that's

590
00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:53,680
all imn. That's it, Like I say, we'll know more

591
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,519
after they post the money. Take a look at the

592
00:33:57,559 --> 00:33:58,279
clothing over here.

593
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:02,119
Speaker 10: I want to check over the bathroom bill.

594
00:34:02,279 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, there's no label here, size marking though, size thirty four.

595
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:11,719
This ordinary rayon nightgown seems to be fairly new. It's

596
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:12,360
not dammages.

597
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,119
Speaker 15: Nothing on the bathrobe, Joe both pocket's empty, no visible markings,

598
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,840
manufacturer's label here, fairly common trade. Man Wild remarks, no, none,

599
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,480
showing we can have the crime lab check them over.

600
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 10: How about the slippers, So that's the same nothing, do

601
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,239
you fellows? Well me to knowify the carner? No, we'll

602
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,400
get a dock. We have to call in for the

603
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,320
crime lab crew. Anyway, it looks like a rough one.

604
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 15: We don't even know what we've got and figured if

605
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,239
somebody murdered the woman, why did they bring her here

606
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,400
to die? You know she was sick or hurt and

607
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,159
they were worried enough about it to bring her here.

608
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:38,559
Why do they want to get rid of her? Leave

609
00:34:38,559 --> 00:34:41,360
her alone in an elevator? Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

610
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,079
Somebody's got something to hide.

611
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,199
Speaker 10: Sure could use a lead man puts her on the

612
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:47,840
elevator and sends her up three floors. Who she is?

613
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,719
How she died? I don't even know where she came from.

614
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:51,760
No choice when you start at the beginning, you know,

615
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:52,880
ground floor.

616
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,880
