00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:36,119

It is truly appreciated. But now, from December the eighth,

17
00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:47,319
nineteen fifty here is the ben Justin murder case.

18
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:06,319
Speaker 2: Broadway's My Beat from Times Square to Columbus Circle. The gaudiest,

19
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:17,199
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadways

20
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:24,439
my beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover. And

21
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:34,680
when it's December and the winter is caught hold, Broadway

22
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:37,840
comes up with a miracle. Silver trees grow out of

23
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,800
the sidewalks. Men with beards and red velvet suits suddenly

24
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,240
appear from out of the bowery dedicate themselves to being jolly,

25
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,400
and reindeer roam the tundra of the spectaculars. It's a

26
00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:51,960
time of crosbye records, noses against department store windows, and

27
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:55,439
wishing you had kept up the Christmas club payments. Everybody's happy,

28
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:05,800
Even the finance company sends you seasons greetings. The atmosphere

29
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,680
hadn't touched. The alley littered and dark, except for a

30
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:12,719
stark cone from a flashlight held by a policeman. Up here.

31
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: Shut twice in the back.

32
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:22,719
Speaker 2: Come on, come on, doc, take a look.

33
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 4: Doc.

34
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: Let's put him on the stretcher. I don't think this

35
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,520
one's got much time. Give me a hand here.

36
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: Easy, having a hospital in five minutes.

37
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: Who he is muggling? Yeah, the wallets has been justin here.

38
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,439
Speaker 2: It is the ideas and what happened?

39
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: I think he knows who shot him, Danny. He was

40
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,159
saying you'll get even any names.

41
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:43,919
Speaker 2: Easy with him.

42
00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: Now, just slide the stretcher in here.

43
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: We'll ride with him. Let's go mugg h Okay.

44
00:03:51,080 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 6: Joe, let's get this ambulance on the road.

45
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: Who are you going to kill? Ben?

46
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: Watch it, Denny?

47
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: Here, hold a bottle up like this. Yeah, sorry, ever

48
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,759
talked to him? You better hurry? Who shot you? Ben?

49
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,639
Can you hear me? Ben? Ben?

50
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 7: Wait a second, hey, Joe, you can take it easy,

51
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,720
take your time.

52
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: He's dead, Denny.

53
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,959
Speaker 2: Then the slow ride through swarming avenues, the slow tolling

54
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,160
of the ambulance bell because the rhythm of death is slow,

55
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,079
and through the windows of the moving car, the procession

56
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:45,040
of fleeting faces, of melting forms scurrying from the bitter

57
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,240
touch of an unknown wind. Then suddenly at a stop,

58
00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:51,160
because death in the city must wait its turn, the

59
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,399
face peering in avid for a furtive glimpse of pain,

60
00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:57,959
seeing only the shroud covered man turning away in regret.

61
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:02,720
The ambulance moves again, and within it silence, because there

62
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,040
are no more questions that can be asked of the dead.

63
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,759
At headquarters, the setting up of a file on Ben

64
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,040
justin the word murdered neatly typed in triplicate, then the

65
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,360
fragments of his life drifting in to be pieced together,

66
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,160
to be entered under the correct heading, on the correct line.

67
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,160
Ben Justin lived in an apartment on West eighty sixth.

68
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,160
He was married to a woman named Evelyn. Go there,

69
00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:31,959
ask her the question the dying man wouldn't answer.

70
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:35,079
Speaker 8: Ben didn't tell you he was bleeding to death, and

71
00:05:35,079 --> 00:05:36,439
he wouldn't tell you who killed him.

72
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:38,519
Speaker 2: No, miss Justin, I like him.

73
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,639
Speaker 9: For that, for a lot of other reasons, but this

74
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,319
one's the best.

75
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:43,079
Speaker 2: And you will want to help us find his murderer.

76
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,439
Speaker 9: No Ah, that's your job. That's what you get paid for.

77
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,879
Speaker 2: They shot him down in an hour, all right, But that's.

78
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,399
Speaker 8: How I feel about things. You get what you work

79
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,079
for in this world. No one can do it for you.

80
00:05:55,079 --> 00:05:58,839
You want Ben's killer? Find him that way. He belonged

81
00:05:58,879 --> 00:05:59,920
to you, just you.

82
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,399
Speaker 2: If you know something, missus Justin, we can hold you.

83
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:03,399
Speaker 9: Now.

84
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,639
Speaker 8: Wherever did you get an idea like that? How would

85
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:07,560
I know who killed Ben?

86
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 9: It's his secret. He's taking it to his grave with him.

87
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,319
Speaker 2: Maybe I didn't tell you. Ben's last words were that

88
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:14,759
he would kill him with his bare.

89
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 9: Hands and can't do that now, Kenny.

90
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: But you can do something, missus justin. You can tell

91
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,959
me about Ben. You can tell me who wanted him dead.

92
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 8: Tell you about Ben. I could take my lifetime, but

93
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,399
I'll brief it down for you. Ben did good bye me,

94
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,279
dressed me in fancy clothes, showy, showed me off to

95
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:35,920
his friends, didn't mind if one made a play for me,

96
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,040
grined it off, grinned about it when we got home,

97
00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:42,319
cuffed me a little, and we got to sleep laughing.

98
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,439
That's about Ben.

99
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,639
Speaker 2: Doesn't help us much.

100
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 8: Then try this. Ben used to work for the Imperial

101
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:53,040
Insurance Company and investigator. Go ask them about Ben. I

102
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,399
bet those insurance people knew more about him than even

103
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,040
his wife knew. It's their business, Imperial Insurance on Lower Broadway.

104
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,639
You can excuse yourself now, mister Clover. I want to

105
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:06,879
go over my wardrobe pick out a black dress for

106
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,639
Ben's funeral.

107
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 9: Silk, yeah, silk. He liked me in it.

108
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:32,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's very intriguing what you tell me, mister Clover. Look,

109
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,959
why don't we go downstairs and chat about it over

110
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:35,720
a cup of coffee?

111
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:38,399
Speaker 2: Now, mister Cogan, you don't.

112
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:40,839
Speaker 10: Understand, kid, I haven't had my breakfast. How can I

113
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:43,439
do my best for Imperial Insurance without something hot in.

114
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:45,519
Speaker 2: My stomach trying to find out who killed a man?

115
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 10: For this, I have to miss my breakfast. I tell

116
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:50,680
you don't understand. My wife sleeps in the morning. She doesn't.

117
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: Justin used to work for you. I want you to

118
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,920
give me what you know about him now, because it

119
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:55,759
won't wait.

120
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 10: On an empty stomach. All right, all right, Yeah, he

121
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,040
worked for us, one of our hottest cases. You're a goal.

122
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:07,879
He kissed us goodbye.

123
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: You don't know anything about him after that. You're just

124
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:10,439
a little kid.

125
00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:12,519
Speaker 10: Did I say that I know a lot about Ben?

126
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:13,839
Let me open my mouth a little.

127
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,639
Speaker 2: Huh, it's open.

128
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 10: A year ago we put Ben on the Colton murder case.

129
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:21,800
Remember it? Who doesn't Missus Colton found murdered, shot to

130
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,000
death in her house on Long Island. That one cost

131
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:27,360
us the company one hundred.

132
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: Grand police for handlegate. Why did you put a private

133
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,800
investigator on here?

134
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,399
Speaker 10: I don't let it bother you. Justin Flop two, he

135
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:34,440
said he couldn't find a thing to prove that Missus.

136
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,639
Colton's nephew and his wife committed the man. Remember Johnny

137
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:40,320
and dotty Reid, the lovable kids that all of us

138
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:44,759
thought were the murderers the state us till they were acquitted,

139
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,080
no evidence, not even from our own boy Ben.

140
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,519
Speaker 2: After that, Ben quit.

141
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,399
Speaker 10: How did you know? Oh? I told you. Yeah, he

142
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,320
turned in a memo that we should pay the kids

143
00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:58,559
the one hundred grand insurance. The ant left, the boy

144
00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:02,360
shook hands all around, resigned. Then right away we find

145
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,720
out he was making merry with the read kids all

146
00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:05,720
over town in their home.

147
00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: How do you know that it was a password in

148
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:08,600
our office?

149
00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 10: How Ben and his wife were always in the company

150
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:11,960
of the kids.

151
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,639
Speaker 2: Why the kids were acquitted. They have the right to

152
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:14,879
make their own friends for.

153
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 10: One hundred grand? We keep trying. Ugh, do I get

154
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:20,960
coffee now?

155
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's a dime. Let it be on me.

156
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 11: Hello, what can I do for you?

157
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,159
Speaker 2: My name is Danny Clover from the police. Yeah. Is

158
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:44,879
your name Reid?

159
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

160
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: I wondered.

161
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:48,399
Speaker 11: You've got to look in your eyes. You want to

162
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:50,240
talk to me, don't you come then?

163
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 10: And here?

164
00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: I know that.

165
00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 11: Look, mister Clover, the police and I have been chill

166
00:09:56,919 --> 00:09:59,600
me before. Is your wife here vacuuming your rugs?

167
00:09:59,600 --> 00:09:59,799
Speaker 4: And the.

168
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 11: Doddy Doddy?

169
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 12: Yeah?

170
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: What do you want, Johnny, turn off the lord.

171
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 11: And come in here?

172
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: You got a call her?

173
00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:12,519
Speaker 11: I hope you don't mind the way Doddy looks holiday cleaning.

174
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,519
Speaker 3: What'd you say?

175
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:18,759
Speaker 11: Oh? This is Danny Clover. Dody's from the police.

176
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 12: I'll be honest with you, mister Clover. I'm busy.

177
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:24,279
Speaker 2: Well, just a few questions about Ben Justin.

178
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 11: I guess I'm right, Daddy, huh. As soon as I

179
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,200
saw this morning, s Pape, I told you a policeman

180
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,639
would be twirling his hat at the door.

181
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 9: Then you talk to him.

182
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:32,759
Speaker 12: Johnny, I've got to get my work done.

183
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: Fraid you'll have to hold it off for about five minutes.

184
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 12: Misery, do you have a warrant?

185
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: I don't need one. All I wanted.

186
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,399
Speaker 11: Dotty gets all mixed up ever since the cops scattered

187
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,639
at dead last year. She just could be lost and

188
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,879
the only person around a cop, and she wouldn't ask

189
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,000
him which way was home.

190
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,399
Speaker 9: Johnny isn't kidding cops.

191
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,159
Speaker 2: How well did you to know Ben Justin?

192
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,919
Speaker 12: We're not going to his funeral, not even flowers.

193
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 11: Mister Clover.

194
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: Funny, I heard you were pretty good friends.

195
00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 12: Two weeks ago, Johnny and I took turns, yawning in

196
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,600
his face. He still wouldn't go home.

197
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: Then he used to drop in here often, maybe a

198
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:09,279
couple of times a month.

199
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,759
Speaker 11: When I shook his hand after we were acquitted, he

200
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:15,440
took that to mean, buddy, he couldn't get through his

201
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,960
head out of shaking anybody's hand.

202
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: Ben Justin tried to send you to the chair. I

203
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,919
don't understand either, did we. You inherited a lot of

204
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,600
money when your aunt was killed in your mister read you.

205
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 12: People can't leave us alone, can you.

206
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 11: You shouldn't have said mystic Clovid that he's going to

207
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:30,919
be upset all day.

208
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 12: It's going to be like this for the rest of

209
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,559
our lives, no matter what we do, where we go,

210
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,879
it's going to be the same way. Get him out

211
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:38,039
of here, Johnny, get him out of here.

212
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:55,279
Speaker 11: I heard him mistic clover better get out that he's busy.

213
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,639
Speaker 5: If I turn on the radiated daddy, it's cold in here.

214
00:11:57,919 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: Huh.

215
00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,759
Speaker 2: You stand it.

216
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,279
Speaker 5: And you've been over and over the transcript of a

217
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,120
euro trial maybe a hundred times. You want something juicy

218
00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:12,639
to read, try this.

219
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: Pulp that's good. Huh, tells me the.

220
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,399
Speaker 5: Thrilling things detectives have happened to them for two bits.

221
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: It thrills even me the things that go on.

222
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,919
Speaker 2: Missus Colton was killed with Johnny Read's gun. Ow ballistics

223
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,279
man proved it, brought it in evidence Exhibit A.

224
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: But no fingerprints, no fingerprints, and if you.

225
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 5: Read the transcript another one hundred times, there still won't

226
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,759
be any What are you trying to build it?

227
00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:34,279
Speaker 2: Bothers me?

228
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 5: You mind mugovin, Danny, listen, the kid had a right

229
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,399
to the gun. Messenger boy for a brokerage house, briefcases

230
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,720
full of stocks and bonds, sometimes even money.

231
00:12:44,039 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 3: A boy needs a gun in a career like that.

232
00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:47,759
They present him with it courtesy of the hot.

233
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 2: But kill his aunt and now two kids with one

234
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,679
hundred thousand dollars.

235
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,919
Speaker 5: The gun could have been stolen from him, Just like

236
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,399
he said, his wife put her arms around him. He

237
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,240
felt different somehow to her without the gun. That was

238
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:00,120
the first they knew what was missing. Just like they

239
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:03,440
said in court, Yeah, I don't understand what you're after, Danny.

240
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,679
The kids were acquitted. I know they said they spent

241
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,039
the day picnicking on the Jersey palisades. Nobody could prove different.

242
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:11,399
Nobody could prove they were at the murderhouse that day.

243
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,159
Speaker 2: They were acquitted. They told you, I know, Muggavun, and

244
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:13,919
what's with you?

245
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:15,399
Speaker 5: You think you found a free and easy way to

246
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,600
solve Ben Justin's murder.

247
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: I take it back, Danny. I didn't mean to say that.

248
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,639
Speaker 2: I'm so chummy with the read kids.

249
00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 3: You mean Justin and his wife.

250
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,159
Speaker 2: Do you care about anyone else?

251
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:29,799
Speaker 5: Justin was a top insurance investigator. He couldn't find a

252
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,559
thing to prove that the kids were anywhere else but

253
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,399
eating ham and cheese sandwiches on the palisades. That sensed

254
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,840
it when an insurance company.

255
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,879
Speaker 13: Danny, you gotta go. You just got it here. I

256
00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:40,279
brought you off a cook I'll help you into it.

257
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: It's not too much to tag lea Where am I going.

258
00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 13: To the residents of one missus Evel and Justin? She

259
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,879
just phoned in, Danny. She was crying, then screaming in

260
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:50,600
between said Chris and screams was sandwiched that someone was

261
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,600
trying to kill her. I made it go slow so

262
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:55,039
I could take it down in shorthand here Danny, how

263
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:55,639
very words?

264
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, get your coat, Muggaviun. It's a cold ride down

00:25:58,079 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: You're under arrest, under arrest for murder.

498
00:26:06,319 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 12: Let me tell you why it sounds from melia, mister Clover,

499
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,559
because it's happened before.

500
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,599
Speaker 2: What happened before a year ago?

501
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,599
Speaker 12: When Johnny and I were arrested for the murder of

502
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,920
his aunt, the police separated Johnny and me. Then one

503
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,880
cop came to me and said, Johnny confessed that way

504
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,559
I was supposed to break down. They did the same

505
00:26:23,599 --> 00:26:28,960
thing to Johnny as a policeman. You're a real nothing,

506
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:36,680
mister Clover, a real nothing. You say you remember what

507
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,240
they tried on us before, Johnny trying to make us confess.

508
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,920
Your friend Clover just tried it again.

509
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,599
Speaker 11: Uh, Clover Cloth, all right, you had you fun. I

510
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:50,759
just think you ought to go home now.

511
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,319
Speaker 2: I've let my coffee yet that.

512
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,799
Speaker 11: He makes uchchlousy coffee. It really isn't worth it.

513
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: I don't understand Ny, That's what I mean. Came here

514
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,559
to give you something for Chris. Maybe I'm a little early.

515
00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:02,519
Maybe I should come back.

516
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 11: If youre giving, we're receiving. What do you get this?

517
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,599
Speaker 2: The magazine subscription form that your wife signed last year

518
00:27:12,599 --> 00:27:13,400
in your aunt's house.

519
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:15,839
Speaker 9: Where'd you get it from?

520
00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:18,559
Speaker 2: Missus Justin's post office box at thirty four Street Station.

521
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,319
Speaker 11: You got to figure, mister Clove.

522
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,279
Speaker 2: Sure it's proof that the two of you were at

523
00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:26,200
miss Colton's the day she was murdered. The piece of

524
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,839
evidence the DA didn't have at your trial, Johnny.

525
00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 12: They can't try it again, can they.

526
00:27:31,839 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 11: You were planning to reopen the trial with new evidence, Danny.

527
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: It won't be necessary. Justin bought this subscription form from

528
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,119
the salesman. He was blackmailing you with it, and a

529
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,880
little while ago he got afraid of you two passed

530
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,759
it on to his wife.

531
00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 11: That's why she added.

532
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: That's where she mailed it for safe keeping after you

533
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,279
killed her husband. You thought you destroyed it when your

534
00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:50,920
wife called headquarters and had me set off that booby trap.

535
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 11: And now you got it. Merry Christmas, Danny. How much

536
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:56,720
you want?

537
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: How much for you paying Justin before you killed them?

538
00:27:59,559 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 11: Don't buy? And how much?

539
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,759
Speaker 2: All of it? Everything you got? I want you to

540
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:06,759
sign a confession you and your wife.

541
00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 11: Let me sit on think about it. Serve the coffee, daddy.

542
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stir it with that gun.

543
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 11: No, I'm gonna kill you with the gun. You want

544
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,839
one slug or two?

545
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:27,799
Speaker 2: Listen put jo.

546
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:32,519
Speaker 12: You donn have half of it, mister Clover, all of it.

547
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:33,599
You can have anything you want.

548
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,599
Speaker 2: I've got what I want. Let's get your coat, missus

549
00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:58,440
Reid in the midnight cold, Broadway echoes with sounds you

00:28:58,519 --> 00:29:02,319
hear only in darkness, the fleeting whispers that speckle places

552

look down, their fingers of dust on your shoulder. It's Broadway,

577
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:32,440
is CBS the Stars address the Columbia Broadcasting System.

578
00:31:35,079 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Okay, I may be the cheesiest person ever,

579
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,400
but I love that line. Do you want one slug

580
00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:50,039
or two? As always great delivery by the always on

581
00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:55,519
point Tony Barrett. Of course, since the series was leaving

582
00:31:55,599 --> 00:32:01,559
the air temporarily and so often when you your notices

583
00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:04,240
like that at the end, it really is the end.

584
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,119
But this series would just be gone for a few months,

585
00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:13,480
you wouldn't have an actual Christmas episode. So they worked

586
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,720
in a little bit of some nods the Christmas season.

587
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,079
I do have to say that Geno Tartaglia is the

588
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,759
type of person I can believe buying a Christmas present

589
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,599
for his favorite fictional detective. I'm struggling with my list.

590
00:32:31,759 --> 00:32:35,319
I mean, what do you get from mister comedian? All right,

591
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,200
listener comments and feedback now, and we start out on

592
00:32:39,319 --> 00:32:43,119
Spotify and this one comes in regards to the Shorty

593
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,799
Dune murder. Thanks for clearing up that herb Butterfield played

594
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:49,960
only two roles and not the murderer. I'm was sure

595
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,160
he played at least two, but thought three or even four.

596
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:59,119
Pretty good story. Well I counted to but Butterfield was

597
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,880
sneaky and he was versatile, so he could have snuck

598
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,519
in one or two that I missed. And then we

599
00:33:05,599 --> 00:33:10,240
also have comments on YouTube Sandy Rights, I love Broadways

600
00:33:10,279 --> 00:33:12,839

601
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,519

00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,920
media today. Bless you well. So glad to be a

603
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,839
service on that. Then ryts her comments on the Joan

604
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,119

here tomorrow for Dragnet.

616
00:34:05,839 --> 00:34:07,839
Speaker 4: Where what is it you want to know about?

617
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,199
Speaker 14: Do you know where mister Loomis? Harry runs a grocery

618
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:11,400
store near the high school.

619
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, old man Loomis. I could go down to the

620
00:34:14,039 --> 00:34:15,159
store and eat lunch sometimes.

621
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:17,599
Speaker 15: Why how about a mister Collins, He runs another store

622
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:18,320
near the high school.

623
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know the place. Sometimes I go there too.

624
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:23,280
A bunch of the kids hanging around there during lunchtime.

625
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:26,199
Speaker 14: We've had quite a few complaints from Collins and Loomis

626
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,719
some of the other stores in the neighborhood too. We're

627
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,480
checking on some of them, but maybe you could help

628
00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:31,079
us out, Harry.

629
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 4: No, I couldn't help you any, mister Collins and that

630
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,159
old man Loomis. They don't like us and want to

631
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,840
get us in trouble. I think they're lying.

632
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,559
Speaker 11: Flying about what.

633
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:43,559
Speaker 4: About us kids stealing things out of their stores? I

634
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:45,280
bet they even told you I'm stealing.

635
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,639
Speaker 15: Things from them, are you, Harry?

636
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 4: Of course not. They can't say any of us stole things.

637
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,440
They don't know. They can't prove anything.

638
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 15: Do you know the man that distributes newspapers in your

639
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,079
neighborhood's done?

640
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 3: Mister Brothy?

641
00:34:56,559 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 4: Who?

642
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,639
Speaker 15: Mister Brothy, Some of the coin boxes on his newstands

643
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:02,320
have been broke. He thought maybe you could tell something

644
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:02,679
about that.

645
00:35:03,679 --> 00:35:05,079
Speaker 4: Like me, I don't know any mister Brophy.

646
00:35:05,159 --> 00:35:07,559
Speaker 14: Well he knows you, Harry. You saw your hanging around

647
00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:09,480
one of the news stands one night. And there's something

648
00:35:09,559 --> 00:35:11,880
else you say. You're trying to buy a bottle of

649
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,880
liquor in the neighborhood.

650
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 15: Is that right? You've had three or four reports on you, Son,

651
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,159
What do you say you want to tell us about?

652
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 4: They're crazy. I haven't done anything.

653
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 14: Well, you've got nothing to worry about, Son, I will

654
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,519
