Elgin murder case.
Speaker 2: Broadways might be from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest,
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.
Speaker 3: Broadways might be with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
The time comes to Broadway when the April days summons,
it's warmth, It's wins, it's plume, sprays of sunlight departs,
the avenue littered with its promises, and the defeated and
the unfulfilled swarm back into the subway entrances, and wait
on the stifling platforms in the dim sallow light reflected
from walls of stained pile.
Speaker 2: Wait for the going home. Wait for the death of
the day to happen in some other place, the hall, bedroom,
the front stoop, some other place where shock will be gentler.
And suddenly through the steel cor udor, a hot, dry
wind races in the depths of earth and on at
the fury of hurtling steel, and they search forward to
meet it. Soon there will be home in your opfice
at headquarters. The april twilight drifts in somehow. It's touch
startles the man you've been talking to.
Speaker 4: Hey, it's evening. It's evening already. What do you know?
How long have I been stilling my heart out to you,
mister cloverd An hour?
Speaker 5: Maybe more?
Speaker 4: Time flies? A guide tries to clean up his conscience,
ease the stall when it takes long, and he I
ain't keeping you frominuting, mister Clovin, No, you.
Speaker 5: Got all the time in ed, Miss Greenhouse go on.
Speaker 4: Oh, not much more to tell her except what I
told I see it might take place. I reported the
common decency.
Speaker 2: I figured once you call a murder took place over
a week ago. How come it took you so long
to give in to the call of decency.
Speaker 4: You got to point there, mister Clovern. Tell me see
if I can explain it, to try hard with all
my might. I was a book he once like, I
told you. You told me, look, let me readcap it. Huh,
So maybe it'll make sense to you. It takes me
a week plus to confess I saw a man push
another man off a roof.
Speaker 5: You were a book. You take it from there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a bookie, I tell you. Boys came up with
a thing to trottle initiative, full a pioneer impulse of it.
So I pitted my brain against society. Try to come
up with a respectable die to earn my nut, waffles
and juice. But my mind has been in such a
tight rep with twelve years of making books. All I
can come up with is biglery.
Speaker 2: That's when you saw it happen. When you were robbing
an apartment in the East thirties.
Speaker 4: You got a woman, says I robbed. I didn't I
tell you this murder made such an impact on my conscience.
I didn't rob and I never will.
Speaker 2: According to our books, what you saw was a suicide
suicide of a man named John Elgin.
Speaker 4: Her books can be mistaken as me.
Speaker 2: I know you could identify the man if we found him.
The man you say porstelgient off the roof, the man
you say as a.
Speaker 4: Murderer, identify him. I would draw my eyes into slits,
pretend I was in the emotional tumboil of over a
week ago, witnessing event from a fire escape across the airway,
and I would try to identify him. You find him,
and I sure would try, But I make no promises.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I ask your pardon, mister Greenhouse.
Speaker 4: It's okay, But for one I.
Speaker 5: Didn't let you finish telling me why it took you
this long to come to us with what you saw.
Speaker 4: I forget it, kid, It was like this. I had
some washington do with conscience, my past, the foolish notion
I could be a successful bugglar, which I am obviously
not equipped to emotional This washing took me such a time.
I now give it to you to hang out the drive.
Speaker 5: All right. You can go for now forever.
Speaker 4: I can go, mister Clover, I can forget. I saw
a miter with my own eyes. Well, thanks for everything,
You've been a dream.
Speaker 5: And watch him as he moves to the door stops.
Speaker 6: I'm glad I gave here what a load off the old.
Speaker 2: Ship, and leaves the complete man, the happy citizen. Then
turn your swivel chair around the window briefly watch the
city leap into the night, and hear the sounds of
it as quick and new and fleeting as spring wind
on the strings of a harp. Walk away from it,
because the quality of this night is laced through with deathtalk,
and so for a policeman, this.
Speaker 5: Night is work time.
Speaker 2: So the intercom the order of the requisition, and the
squad car is waiting downstairs, the drive to the east
thirties and the address trapped in the cone of the
car spotlight, and four flights up and walked back, and
the ballast the right of the reef. Yes, good evening.
My name is Danny Clover. I'm fem the police.
Speaker 7: Another one. I thought whatever business I had with you
people about my husband was over done with.
Speaker 5: There's a few more questions, miss Alton mac.
Speaker 4: Men, Yes.
Speaker 8: In here please now what are your questions?
Speaker 5: Are you convinced your husband killed himself.
Speaker 4: Yes, I see.
Speaker 2: Well, has it occurred to you that someone might have
pushed your husband off the roof? No, suppose I told
you someone had seen your husband murdered. Well, well that's
what I'm telling you. Someone saw it happen. Did your
husban make a habit of spending much time.
Speaker 5: Off the roof?
Speaker 7: Who saw my husband murdering?
Speaker 2: That doesn't matter right now. What matters is that it's
going to start all over again. Missus alget a whole
new investigation.
Speaker 8: I see, all right.
Speaker 7: My husband and I didn't get along. There was some
talk of divorce, never materialized. My husband was a moody man.
Speaker 8: He used to take walks. He used to walk down
the hall, up.
Speaker 7: The steps, onto the roof and stare and smoke and pace.
Speaker 8: One night he jumped. Now now what now, Take.
Speaker 7: Each one of the statements I just made and investigate them.
Speaker 8: Who saw my husband murdered? I told you, yes, you
did very well. Lie to me.
Speaker 7: If this is a method, do it. No one saw
my husband murdered. Of course, my husband's dead. My husband
killed himself.
Speaker 8: I hope you resting. I'll get out of here.
Speaker 9: Don't move, Danny. I make this request of you, just

Speaker 2: As I'll do it, Gino, first three minute, I get well.
Speaker 5: I remember the.

under the sign of the flying red horse. Right, the
sign of the flying red horse, Danny Well, I had
to stop at the gas station to refuel the baroque
machine in which Missus Tartagli and I were making our
schedule journey to the hospital. All this, of course explains
my immediate's interest in such posies as Pegasus is, and

Speaker 5: You leave headquarters again.
Speaker 2: The ride with Detective Muguvan now up Riverside Drive, and
this time of night is one with the river black,
and the lights flung downward from places far away shimmer
briefly and they're gone, and the swift, ebbing figures walking
hand in hand by the water, and the lonely ones
who stare at the moon's curved reflection, and the huddled
ones who look for nothing at all. The river at
ten o'clock on a spring night, take a turn on
the seventies, park the car and the house to find
again the hall to walk and the door found.
Speaker 5: Hello, Gladys Hayward.

Speaker 3: Sit?
Speaker 8: You don't like it? Alternative, that's all right, we can
talk now.
Speaker 1: One.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find out some background about John Elgin.
Speaker 8: Your name came up on a kound of that rage.
Speaker 10: That's right.
Speaker 5: Was that the only night you were worth mees Stralgian.
Speaker 8: I had about a year with him. Mister you want
to try to believe something, I'll tell you something. I
almost married him.
Speaker 5: He had a wife.
Speaker 8: I know. I met her. I had a chat with
her and tea with her. Handshakes, looks into each other's eyes. Woman,
the woman very civilizing up to the minute. Afternoon I
rang a bell and told her I was in love
with her husband and wanted to marry.
Speaker 5: What was her reaction, smile?
Speaker 8: She was all for us. She didn't like mister Eligin.
She told me that when bent from the waist to
pour the tea and looked up at me and smiled.
About a month ago, this tremendous thing happened.
Speaker 5: Missus Elgin was going to divorce her husband, and you
were going to marry him.
Speaker 8: That right, the plans I had.
Speaker 5: What's happened?
Speaker 8: Pick up that book besides you, mister Warren p it's
called I can't understand what it's about. The music I
was listening to.
Speaker 10: I don't know what it's about either.
Speaker 8: Mister Elgin gave me those things. Another thing. Firstie said
he loved me, and then he was going to educate
me from something simple. Everything got complicated.
Speaker 10: It's divorced.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 5: So you broke it up?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah I did. I couldn't be a wife to
mister Eligin. But see there I go again, calling him
mister Eligion. I never could get around to call him
by his first name. I sent him back to his
wife and told him to stay there. And he thought
that was the best idea. You see a girl like
me wants what do I want?
Speaker 2: Can you tell me why anybody would want to murder
John Elgin?
Speaker 8: I don't know, I don't know anything. Maybe I should
have married him. Now what have I got to date
with a guy at eleven thirty? I guess you'd better
go now if that's all you want.
Speaker 2: Good night, Miss Henry. Danny, let's go, Michael, Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's just go over the radio. Danny.
Speaker 5: You're shooting two blocks from here. Liquor store. Come on.
Speaker 2: There he is, I mean back a little more.
Speaker 3: What's your name, mister ray Ford?
Speaker 5: This is my liquor store, all right?
Speaker 6: Tell me what happened A couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 2: That guy on the floor there walked in there for
a bottle of booze. I gave it to him, and
he broke the bottle in the counter and shoved it
at me and said, give him money.
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm going to get to a hospital or something.
My hands bleeding like a stuck pick. How'd your hand
get cut like that?
Speaker 2: A little tussledly, and I got the bottle from him.
He kept coming, so I took my gun from under
the counter.
Speaker 5: And I'm having you know who the man is you shot?
How do I know?
Speaker 2: I know his name's Greenhow that is Wallet? Then I
didn't have to he was in my office a few
hours ago to report a murder. They also told me
how fast time fled. He told me he wanted to
have a clean conscience.
Speaker 10: As he did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, dead, you.
Speaker 3: Are listening too, Broadways My Beat written by Martin Fine
and David Freakin and starring Larry Thor as Detective Danny.
Goover now a few words from Burt Lancaster, star of
the motion picture The Crimson Pirates.
Speaker 5: This is Burt Lancaster.
Speaker 11: I've been doing quite a bit of traveling around the
world lately, either on location or making personal appearances. But
I always keep in touch with Hollywood by listening to
the Lux Radio Theater every Monday night over the CBS
Radio Network. To radio actors, the Lux Radio Theater is
Hollywood because you can always be sure of hearing the
latest and best motion pictures with the original stars. Why
don't you tune in with me to the CBS Radio
Network next Monday night. And here's some fine entertainment on
the MUX Radio Theater this Monday.
Speaker 3: On most of these same CBS radio stations, Lux Radio
Theater stars William Holden, Nancy Olsen, and Lyle Becker in
Union Station. When April comes to New York, Broadway slows
down its pace to let spring come in. The walk
is a kind of dream walk, languorous rhythm to a
pulse of cadence, neon to sun worn blue yonder a
loud speaker. And when nighttime comes, the street is filled
with the sudden traceries of color that dart and ebb
and dart again, and the swift laughter that spills out
of doorways, perfume, warm and intimate fleeting.
Speaker 2: So follow the crowd on Broadway, lend your heart to it.
Maybe this night will never get away from you, but
it does. It always does. In the corner of night
where I was, there was no quality to the color,
or white walls touched one another, the pyramids of shadow
in between the emergency hospital and doctor Sinski and a
man whose hand have been cut.
Speaker 5: I think it'll leave a skydick.
Speaker 12: Over a period of time, it'll go away, perhaps a
slight itching now and then you are a lucky man,
mister Ford. No ligaments were injured, and now hold still
for just another minute.
Speaker 5: What are you live?
Speaker 2: Mister for twelve twelve West End Aven to watch that bandage, dock.
Speaker 5: He was a little tight watch watch it.
Speaker 12: My prerogative is a physician, mister Ford, to calculate of
a bandage, whether or not it gives you some pain.
Please don't jerk your hand away again.
Speaker 5: Do you have a license for this gun? You killed
Greenhow with you kidding? No, I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3: I've been your armid album, mister Ford.
Speaker 2: Sure, I got a license for it. My store was
held at five times Clover after number five I got
a license. I get tired of donating to the hoodlum
Society of NYC, and I slipped this around.
Speaker 4: Please, mister Ford, a little cooperation.
Speaker 10: This is just a slip.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Never hear of a man named John Elgin, mister Ford Elgin,
that's right John Elgin, and says pish, Now do.
Speaker 12: All right in a few days, go to your family position.
Let him look at that hand and address it and
take out the stitches when and tealing, get off the table.
Speaker 2: Now look at this with your arms dealed up like
I was in an accident killing mister Ford, What would
you do if your store was knocked over five times.
Speaker 5: He's the high star, and handem your register. Yeah, I
killed him.
Speaker 2: You give me a license for a gun for if
you didn't think.
Speaker 5: I might have for U.
Speaker 2: Sure, okay, you can go now, I get in touch
with on On Egypt.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 2: That way outs to Ford, and the spring night is
in full possession. Now it's orders drift the car to
seep into the room, blend with the accurate scent of
pain present, pain passed. The night wind of spring ripples
a discarded ribbon of gauze stained with scarlet floats. It
traps it against your ankle. So leave this sedge of
night walk a street that leads into the blind alley
of sleep walk. Think remember the man who came to
you told you'd seen a murder committed, and in a few.
Speaker 5: Hours the man was dead.
Speaker 2: And another man, Ray Ford, liquor dealer, who was weary
of robbery, so got a license to kill, the licensed
violence to kill. A man who said a murder was committed,
had seen the cascade of depth from a rooftop, the
depth of John Elgin that we had called suicide. Then
the end of walking this spring night, and open the
windows of her room sleep.
Speaker 5: The next morning at headquarters. Pick it up again.
Speaker 2: Consider again, why a booking named Larry greenhow it brought.
Speaker 5: You a week late?
Speaker 2: The eyewitness account of John Elton's death, Consider again the
manner of the book.
Speaker 5: He's dying.
Speaker 2: Got a minute, I got some boy, Danny.

Speaker 10: The boys picked him up around free last night.

been rousted in round numbers, Lieutenant the no complaints Bakers

Speaker 12: I was a beggar. Danny pro educated, polite, sells his
private brand of heartbreak for dimes a small change.
Speaker 5: So I got to do with me mother.
Speaker 12: When the boys picked out up last night, he had
the best part of two grand on him.
Speaker 4: Let's tell the lieutenant where you got it.

superficial examination.

about it?
Speaker 12: Post more to lividity, Danny, What a very simple thing
a person who, after he is dead, lies in one
position for an hour to develop such a a wealth,
as you call it, seepage of blood to the lowest
part of the body.
Speaker 5: Physic Dan, you mean Greenhow was lying on his face
after he was killed.

I don't know how he got that idea, I swear,
I don't know how you got that idea.
Speaker 2: Ray, how'd you get a clover? You killed a man
named Greenhow in your store last night? He told me
Margaret's husband was murdered.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he told you Margaret's husband was murdered. So who

You going natsy? Sure?
Speaker 2: I killed him in the store? Blood all over him?
Wasn't there where I shot him?
Speaker 5: Your blood?
Speaker 2: You cut your hand on purpose after you shot him. Look, Ray,
there are a couple of things I can do. Have
test run on your blood type in Greenhouse, or have
technicians tear this house apart looking for signs of blood.
Speaker 5: I figure this is where you kill them. You raise,
you're in a lot of trouble. Shut up.
Speaker 8: I didn't say very much. I just shut up.
Speaker 2: You killed Greenhouse because he saw you push mister Elgin
out the roof because he was blackmailing.
Speaker 5: You told him that, Margaret.
Speaker 10: He told me to shut up, and I'm.
Speaker 5: You told him that Margaret. He didn't need to. I
learned that Greenhouse paid off an old debt. I have
big death. So I'd asked myself a question, Where'd he
get the money? And why did he get the money? Why?
Because he saw one man kill another? What did I
kill John Elgin for? What motive did I have? You
gotta have a reason, You gotta have a motet. You
had a motive.
Speaker 2: Margaret still look good to you, Rayn You almost have Margaret.
When her husband's fill in love with another woman. He
went over it, went back to Margaret.
Speaker 7: It was very touching. Gave me a speech, but there
wasn't going to be a divorce ever.
Speaker 8: He said, let's start.
Speaker 4: All over again.
Speaker 7: You remember, ray I tried to explain that to you.
Speaker 3: You're so hot, tempered hot.
Speaker 5: It's over now, right, a little X book.
Speaker 2: You knew you were a murderer and blackmailed you, and
you got tired of pay him, so he came to me,
labeled it murder and went away. And greenhow wasn't liad?
He didn't tell you, Joe lilt. That's right, Greenhow didn't
identify it? He just came to the police to frighten you.
He just reported a murder. When he came back here
to tell you what he'd done, you killed him.
Speaker 5: Margaret helped me?
Speaker 7: Can I talk now?
Speaker 3: Ray help?
Speaker 8: You never said your name? Why didn't you pay him?
Speaker 5: Would you would have said it?
Speaker 8: Look how hot tempered? No him burns a life.
Speaker 10: One mm hmmmmm.
Speaker 2: There's a special moon over Broadway tonight. It dips low
and mixes with the laughter and the clack of heels
and the light flung downwards and the spectaculars, and people
look at it, point at it, wink at it, run
into whatever shadow they've planned for the night. It's Broadway,
the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.
Speaker 5: Broadway My Beat.
Speaker 3: Broadway's My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover,
with Charles Calvert as Tartaglia and Jack Krushian as Margapus.
The program was produced and directed by Elliott Lewis, with
musical score composed and conducted by Alexander Courage. In tonight's story,
Louise Lewis was heard as Margaret Elgin and Bill Bouchet
as ray Ford featured in the cast were shot atte Lawrence,
Billy Hallip and Steve Roberts. Don't forget Monday Nights. It's
starth the godfriest talent scouts for fun and variety entertainment galore.
Most of these same CBS radio stations. Bill Anders speaking
and remember Robert reports the news of the world every
Sunday on the CBS Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Welcome back well once again. Gino and Danny's moments are
real highlights as he talks about his daughter's birthday, and
it reflects some interesting ideas because he doesn't ask Danny
or some material gift for that'd be tacky anyway, but
rather just phone call to let her know that she
matters to an important adult like Lieutenant Danny Clover. It's
just the most incredibly wholesome thing and another example of
how Artaglia brings light and humanity to not only his
life but that of Danny in maybe the audience as
well as to the mystery itself. It becomes pretty clear
cut after Ferry Greenhouse is killed. I pretty much assumed
at that moment that four did it and was waiting
for some twist to shake me loose of that, and
of course it didn't come. I think it is a
fair explanation that he's hot headed, which is why he
took action that got police attention that wouldn't have been
there otherwise, and I guess four potential blackmailers. It highlights
one of the risk of doing business that being blackmailed
often puts people in an unreasonable mindset. Consequences of that
can be quite unpredictable. Now it's time to thank our

Speaker 15: That ware over here on the table, nurse put the
woman's clothing over there, night down slippers, bathroom.
Speaker 10: I see wants to be a fairly out.
Speaker 15: One, i'd say in her early thirties. Nice looking girl,
well groomed nose, her hair and fingernauts, well kept bruise
there on her head. Took a pretty good blow to
cause that. When you say, yeah, it might even be
worse than it looks. Had to say right now. Other
abrasions I was telling you about right here, learning the
classical seem to be fairly distinct. So you're forum that's
all imn. That's it, Like I say, we'll know more
after they post the money. Take a look at the
clothing over here.
Speaker 10: I want to check over the bathroom bill.
Speaker 16: Yeah, there's no label here, size marking though, size thirty four.
This ordinary rayon nightgown seems to be fairly new. It's
not dammages.
Speaker 15: Nothing on the bathrobe, Joe both pocket's empty, no visible markings,
manufacturer's label here, fairly common trade. Man Wild remarks, no, none,
showing we can have the crime lab check them over.
Speaker 10: How about the slippers, So that's the same nothing, do
you fellows? Well me to knowify the carner? No, we'll
get a dock. We have to call in for the
crime lab crew. Anyway, it looks like a rough one.
Speaker 15: We don't even know what we've got and figured if
somebody murdered the woman, why did they bring her here
to die? You know she was sick or hurt and
they were worried enough about it to bring her here.
Why do they want to get rid of her? Leave
her alone in an elevator? Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
Somebody's got something to hide.
Speaker 10: Sure could use a lead man puts her on the
elevator and sends her up three floors. Who she is?
How she died? I don't even know where she came from.
No choice when you start at the beginning, you know,
ground floor.
