[1:13] Speaker 1: But now, from January nineteenth, nineteen fifty two, here is
[1:18] Speaker 1: the Lynn Halstead murder case.
[1:34] Speaker 2: Broadways might beat some times for it. The Columbus Circle,
[1:38] Speaker 2: the Guardian, the most Violent, the lonesomest mile in the World.
[1:48] Speaker 3: Broadways My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
[2:03] Speaker 2: Broadway tyles down to another year's living. The days begin
[2:06] Speaker 2: to drift backward again, away from you like they did
[2:09] Speaker 2: last year, and it starts all over. Punch the time card,
[2:13] Speaker 2: smile at the boss, and the income tax forms can
[2:16] Speaker 2: be picked up at any bank or branch post office.
[2:19] Speaker 2: But there's still the dream, and it could happen on Broadway.
[2:23] Speaker 2: It's the corner of the world where a million performers
[2:25] Speaker 2: do their bit just for you. It's Carnival and a
[2:28] Speaker 2: clown and a girl with yellow hair blowing kisses, the
[2:32] Speaker 2: end of a ride that costs you a dime. Maybe
[2:35] Speaker 2: you'll get your money's work. There were no dreams where
[2:45] Speaker 2: I was in the big room, the chill room, the
[2:47] Speaker 2: room of the lost dead, the city Morgue, the man
[2:51] Speaker 2: with me, the seeker of sorrow, a father, and she
[2:53] Speaker 2: wanted to laugh. Letter I got from and told me
[2:56] Speaker 2: how much she missed that Cromit. Not that she didn't
[2:58] Speaker 2: like New York, but big so hot to make man. Yeah,
[3:03] Speaker 2: you want to look now, doctor Houston? Yes, doctor, how
[3:11] Speaker 2: did she die? Hearing shot? I mean shot? Where's to find? Look? Doctor?
[3:21] Speaker 2: I want to know where was she found? The river?
[3:25] Speaker 2: She's been here for three days. No, No, I want
[3:28] Speaker 2: to look at her. I want to look at her faith.
[3:31] Speaker 2: You haven't said it directly, doctor, she is your daughter.
[3:36] Speaker 2: My touch feeling all right? Doctors, I just want to doctor,
[3:42] Speaker 2: sit how long has Lin been in New York about
[3:50] Speaker 2: three years. She left acting on her eighteenth birthday. She
[3:54] Speaker 2: didn't have much trouble getting jobs as far as I knew.
[3:56] Speaker 2: Her last employment was at a private secretary, private secretary
[4:00] Speaker 2: with whom she didn't say. She just mentioned it was
[4:02] Speaker 2: a real estate office and that she liked her work.
[4:04] Speaker 2: Where did she live here in town? I addressed my
[4:07] Speaker 2: letters to her at the Linden Apartments in Fantasy Park.
[4:13] Speaker 2: Pleased us to leave me alone with her? For everyone
[4:20] Speaker 2: and know that outside the light of the winter's morning
[4:22] Speaker 2: is brilliant, dazzling. It strikes the frost veiled chrome of
[4:26] Speaker 2: the city. But here it must filter through steel webbed windows,
[4:30] Speaker 2: reflect off the faces of the dead, grow dim. Here
[4:34] Speaker 2: it lies against the closed eyes of a man who
[4:36] Speaker 2: has made the journey, found at its end his child's death.
[4:41] Speaker 2: Then his hand reaches out to the girl's part, draws
[4:44] Speaker 2: aside a strand of hair. It tries to smooth away
[4:47] Speaker 2: the pain, the shock that had been frozen there, and
[4:50] Speaker 2: walk away from it. Because this is an image of
[4:52] Speaker 2: vanguish scene, too many times go down to the Lindon Apartment,
[5:01] Speaker 2: yellow ivy clinging to all marble facing the steel fenced
[5:05] Speaker 2: Winter's Garden, whose paths can be walked only by those
[5:08] Speaker 2: privilege for the key to its gates. Gramercy Park brought
[5:12] Speaker 2: to a man who, among his other duties, had dispent
[5:15] Speaker 2: such a key to Lynn Halstead.
[5:17] Speaker 4: You understand it's quite a privilege, our private little park.
[5:20] Speaker 4: And I must say of miss Halstead, she availed herself
[5:22] Speaker 4: up at par to rally for what reasons?
[5:25] Speaker 2: I shudder to think, Why, mister Clement, Why do you shudder?
[5:28] Speaker 4: Well, after all, it is rather desirable to maintain residents
[5:31] Speaker 4: here in Gramercy. I could show you waiting list year's
[5:34] Speaker 4: long has lived here. Of course she lived here, but
[5:38] Speaker 4: so sporadically, weeks on weeks would go by with her
[5:41] Speaker 4: apartment standing for lawn empty lonely.
[5:45] Speaker 2: You're saying, mister Clement, that she lived here.
[5:47] Speaker 4: But didn't only use this as the mailing address I've
[5:50] Speaker 4: hear in a kind of phone service, or what reason?
[5:53] Speaker 2: I know, you shudder quite to see.
[5:56] Speaker 5: Her mail box is filled with uncalled for levers.
[6:00] Speaker 2: Yeah, from a doctor hosted relative, given from.
[6:05] Speaker 4: The apartment stores, book clubs, and these phone methodes. This
[6:09] Speaker 4: man has been calling for three days now, I keep
[6:12] Speaker 4: telling him miss Linne isn't in leaves his number, not
[6:14] Speaker 4: his name, of course, no one else to.
[6:17] Speaker 2: Give it to. Now he is there, show me her apartment, mister,
[6:20] Speaker 2: I did like to do.
[6:21] Speaker 4: It's one of our most desirable.
[6:22] Speaker 2: Now I'm free to inform the management that which one isn't.
[6:26] Speaker 2: Just down the hall here we are.
[6:37] Speaker 4: Oh what a mess, what a frightful mess, the dis arrayed,
[6:41] Speaker 4: the things left about.
[6:43] Speaker 2: Why these stains on our carpets? Blood stains? Yeah, that
[6:49] Speaker 2: kind of stein. That means she must have been here
[6:53] Speaker 2: when she here in Gramercy Park. Where's the phone? Why there?

[7:00] Speaker 2: gave you. That's that man?

[10:10] Speaker 2: advanced loved her, a father who had seen her lying
[10:14] Speaker 2: in the morgue, and against them, the barrier of secrecy
[10:17] Speaker 2: the girl had woven out of the city's darkness. Not

[12:24] Speaker 6: How glad she was, how I'd helped her to finally
[12:27] Speaker 6: cover a niche for.

[12:31] Speaker 2: said before, mister mind. Lynn was in the morning for
[12:33] Speaker 2: three days. No one came to identify her. I should
[12:37] Speaker 2: have done that.
[12:42] Speaker 6: A girl is beautiful, she takes three days off. I'm
[12:48] Speaker 6: not the man to question such wins. She could have
[12:52] Speaker 6: gone a week or a month, A job would have
[12:54] Speaker 6: still been here for her. But there are other private secretaries,
[12:58] Speaker 6: How you're kidding?

[16:33] Speaker 9: her walk in the cold, only in the nightgown and
[16:35] Speaker 9: the COVID. What made her do that was something in shock.
[16:39] Speaker 2: Maybe hurt, maybe your memory. You're saying that if she'd
[16:42] Speaker 2: stayed where she was, she wouldn't have to die. What
[16:45] Speaker 2: else moves?
[16:47] Speaker 9: The wound had been tended to, the bullet removed three
[16:50] Speaker 9: four days ago, profession, the healing had already begun to
[16:54] Speaker 9: take hold. It was not the work of a clumsy man.
[16:58] Speaker 9: It was the work of a profession a doctor, for sure.

[19:03] Speaker 2: Who is she? I don't know. I've never seen her before.
[19:11] Speaker 2: It's over. I suppose you have to do something about me,
[19:16] Speaker 2: an obstruction of justice doctrine. There'll be something in the charge.
[19:20] Speaker 2: You want to talk with me now outside? All right?
[19:27] Speaker 2: All right, Donald, I got to New York four days ago.
[19:30] Speaker 2: I came here to bring Wyn home. I found her
[19:33] Speaker 2: apartment house, and I found Lin. She didn't shot doctor,
[19:38] Speaker 2: did you she? I found Lynn. She was dying when
[19:42] Speaker 2: I got I didn't shoot her, mister Kob. But you
[19:44] Speaker 2: can think so. I don't care. I really don't if
[19:46] Speaker 2: you want me to say I shot her, and you
[19:48] Speaker 2: want to charge me with that, It's all right if
[19:50] Speaker 2: you want me to, I'll say I did. Just tell
[19:53] Speaker 2: me what happened at Houston. She'd been shocked, she was
[19:56] Speaker 2: barely conscious. Tell you who shot her? No, she cried
[20:00] Speaker 2: when she saw me, That's all. Then she went into
[20:02] Speaker 2: sharp after that. After that, she just baked about her childhood,
[20:09] Speaker 2: about her home, about the far away here. And you
[20:14] Speaker 2: were a doctor, you removed the ballatry. Yes, I didn't
[20:17] Speaker 2: know whether she was going to live. I just sat
[20:20] Speaker 2: beside her and waited for her to say the person's
[20:22] Speaker 2: name who shot her. There were phone calls and people
[20:25] Speaker 2: knocking on the door. I never moved from her side,
[20:27] Speaker 2: but she never spoke the person's name who shot her?
[20:31] Speaker 2: Or how did she get away from her? And I
[20:34] Speaker 2: came to the morgue this morning, then was gone when
[20:38] Speaker 2: I got back. I guess she wandered around looking for
[20:42] Speaker 2: me or looking for something. I don't know. Why did
[20:45] Speaker 2: you come to the morning, Those phone calls, those people
[20:49] Speaker 2: at the door. I suddenly realized that one of them
[20:52] Speaker 2: might be my daughter's assailant. And the doctor. I've been
[20:56] Speaker 2: in morgues before, there was a good chance to be
[20:58] Speaker 2: an unidentified girl in your monk there was. I identified

[24:52] Speaker 2: talk to you.
[24:53] Speaker 5: Look once before you told me Lynn was dead. I
[24:55] Speaker 5: just talked to Lynn less than an hour ago.
[24:57] Speaker 2: That's funny. She's dead?
[24:59] Speaker 5: Whereas she aaron a bedroom?
[25:02] Speaker 2: You want to see her?
[25:03] Speaker 5: Died after she called me?
[25:04] Speaker 2: Huh? You want to see her? Mister Martin?

[25:12] Speaker 12: I'll be going, mister Clover. I guess the papers will tell.
[25:15] Speaker 5: Me the where and plant about it.
[25:16] Speaker 2: That's Guneral, don't go, mister Markham. Why not? Then's not
[25:22] Speaker 2: in her bedroom? She died hours ago.
[25:26] Speaker 12: I don't get you. What are you doing playing crazy games?
[25:29] Speaker 12: You get your kicks playing with a dead girl's name?
[25:32] Speaker 12: She is here, she isn't here, she's dead, she isn't dead.
[25:36] Speaker 12: Who called me anyhow?
[25:38] Speaker 2: Police woman?
[25:39] Speaker 5: Policewoman? Well be proud, funny funny game you policeman play?
[25:46] Speaker 2: Why did you come here? Mister Markham?
[25:47] Speaker 12: I'm a sucker for phone clothes. A girl calls and
[25:49] Speaker 12: tells me she's alive. I get happy about it, and
[25:51] Speaker 12: I call it cat.
[25:52] Speaker 2: That's not the reason. Read my mind for me, all right.
[25:56] Speaker 2: You came here to finish what you started out to do,
[25:58] Speaker 2: to kill in Housetead. I got to take this from you. No,
[26:00] Speaker 2: you can just submit to arrest. Come downtown, call a
[26:03] Speaker 2: lawyer and tell him you're being held for murder. Even
[26:06] Speaker 2: let you call your family, tell them the same thing.
[26:12] Speaker 2: What's on your mind? You didn't know whether Lynn was
[26:14] Speaker 2: dead or alive, and for just now did you? You
[26:17] Speaker 2: just knew the girl who was first identified as Lynn
[26:20] Speaker 2: wasn't really her.
[26:21] Speaker 5: You told me she was. I believed you. I shouldn't.
[26:23] Speaker 2: I believe you didn't believe me. The first time I
[26:24] Speaker 2: talked to you. You knew the girl dragged out of
[26:26] Speaker 2: the river wasn't Lynn, because how could Lin have gotten
[26:28] Speaker 2: to the river. You must have gone out of your mind, mister,
[26:32] Speaker 2: shoot her girl? And there's no no news of the shooting,
[26:36] Speaker 2: just waiting and a girl has identified as Lynn holstaid.
[26:39] Speaker 2: You knew it wasn't Lynn Holstead at all. All you
[26:41] Speaker 2: could do was wait, what are you mixing me up?
[26:43] Speaker 5: In this war? Anyhow?
[26:44] Speaker 2: I got a family, I had a family. When Lynn
[26:47] Speaker 2: Holst did walk into your office, she's a beautiful girl,
[26:51] Speaker 2: and I told her that how much were you paying
[26:53] Speaker 2: her as the secretary?
[26:55] Speaker 5: Well, well she was a good secretary. I paid her
[26:57] Speaker 5: seventy five dollars a week.
[26:58] Speaker 2: She could have recorded her play here at the Lena
[27:00] Speaker 2: de Poppins Man.
[27:01] Speaker 5: She started at fifty, but I raised her at seventy five.
[27:04] Speaker 2: How could she afford to buy that cottage in Long Island?
[27:11] Speaker 2: I thought about that, mister Montshom, and I asked myself
[27:13] Speaker 2: a question. If a real estate broker has a friend,
[27:17] Speaker 2: then he wants to keep the friendship quiet.
[27:19] Speaker 5: Right, all right?
[27:22] Speaker 2: All right? I gave her, but she gave it back
[27:25] Speaker 2: to it, didn't she everything in it? She found her boy,
[27:27] Speaker 2: She fell in love with love.
[27:30] Speaker 12: That's love that she had with that soap slinger in
[27:34] Speaker 12: that Ten Saint restaurant.
[27:35] Speaker 2: I told you the selad do anything you wanted, but
[27:37] Speaker 2: she didn't want any strings attached to you anymore. So
[27:41] Speaker 2: you killed her.
[27:42] Speaker 5: That's love what she had with that soap slinger. Cheap movies,
[27:47] Speaker 5: walking in the park, that's love. Listen.
[27:50] Speaker 12: I've been through it when I was a young plunk.
[27:52] Speaker 12: Do you think that kind of stuff was for Lynn
[27:54] Speaker 12: you I thought I did. I'd sweated through it for
[27:57] Speaker 12: four days.
[27:58] Speaker 5: I did.
[27:58] Speaker 2: Let's go down on you think that's fire.
[28:02] Speaker 5: It's all right, children. What do you think I want anyhow? Punk?
[28:08] Speaker 5: Tell me you punk? What do you think I want? Anyhow?

[28:40] Speaker 2: be fury again. I rack and roar and crowd the

[31:36] Speaker 1: job acting by William Conrad. I had to chuckle a
[31:40] Speaker 1: little bit because someone posted on one of the YouTube

[33:25] Speaker 3: Miss Cameron.

[33:27] Speaker 13: day after I moved down here. My husband and Ralph
[33:30] Speaker 13: Ashby saw the rental ad in the paper and they
[33:32] Speaker 13: went over and talked to Daniels. He said, all right,
[33:34] Speaker 13: he had an apartment for the Ashby's one for us,
[33:37] Speaker 13: nice places too.
[33:38] Speaker 2: See.

[33:40] Speaker 13: first and last month's rent in advance.
[33:42] Speaker 10: Was all decided.
[33:43] Speaker 2: Well, how is it you couldn't move in right away,
[33:44] Speaker 2: miss Canton?
[33:45] Speaker 13: He said he was having an apartment house redecorated. Daniels,
[33:48] Speaker 13: did I mean? He told Ralph and my husband the
[33:50] Speaker 13: apartments would probably be ready for us on the eighth
[33:52] Speaker 13: That was yesterday, he said, the ninth, for sure, And
[33:55] Speaker 13: that's today.
[33:55] Speaker 3: And you tried to move in this afternoon and Daniel's
[33:58] Speaker 3: refused to let you in.
[33:58] Speaker 13: As that is, I had the movers get all our
[34:00] Speaker 13: things out of storage and move them out to the apartment.
[34:02] Speaker 13: So then my girlfriend Doris the movies. We're just starting
[34:05] Speaker 13: to get our furniture out of the van and moving
[34:06] Speaker 13: into the apartment with mister Daniel showed up. He acted

[34:10] Speaker 2: Want'd you give you any reasons why he couldn't move in?
[34:12] Speaker 13: We tried to give us a lot of reasons. None
