[1:50] Speaker 3: Broadways My Beats with Larry thor As detectives Danny Clover.
[2:06] Speaker 2: When night comes to Broadway, it drains through Neon before
[2:09] Speaker 2: it scatters the street, and everywhere shadows are tinged with
[2:12] Speaker 2: scarlet and the crowd gathers, the tribe of twilight till dawn,
[2:16] Speaker 2: the roar that coils upon itself before it floods, the darkness,
[2:20] Speaker 2: Lean against it, walk it. The whirlpool of mob the
[2:23] Speaker 2: puffs of music from winking doorways, the swirl of women's
[2:26] Speaker 2: laughter that passes your lips. Let it touch you, then
[2:31] Speaker 2: look backward and see it all change into night wind
[2:34] Speaker 2: and drift away and uptown north on Broadway and East
[2:47] Speaker 2: one hundred and tenth Street in Central Park, in the
[2:49] Speaker 2: part of the night that hung over a lake where
[2:51] Speaker 2: I was standing in the floodlights and the rowboat and
[2:54] Speaker 2: Detective Muggument in the huddled shape.
[3:00] Speaker 4: Right, better, give me a hand with him?
[3:04] Speaker 5: Got him?
[3:05] Speaker 2: Yeah, he's it okay?
[3:11] Speaker 6: Well, for once a citizen was right, Danny Man drowned
[3:14] Speaker 6: in Central Park Lake.
[3:15] Speaker 2: Citizens said, so, flows boy wasn't drowned.
[3:17] Speaker 5: Look, look.
[3:20] Speaker 2: H in the back a small caliber gun. Hasn't been
[3:24] Speaker 2: dead too long? About nineteen good looking boy?
[3:30] Speaker 5: Nothing?
[3:31] Speaker 7: Uhh?
[3:31] Speaker 2: No wallet, pocket's empty, no identification. And once he got
[3:36] Speaker 2: in his hand, like in his hand, his fist, he
[3:38] Speaker 2: could be holding it, Yeah he was. Look, let me
[3:43] Speaker 2: have it. Strange looking ring, isn't it? Antique? No initials inside.
[3:51] Speaker 2: I'll get him downtown looking them, get.
[3:52] Speaker 8: Some princes, Danny.
[3:55] Speaker 5: But you were right, he was a good looking boy.
[4:06] Speaker 2: Then the pattern known too long, repeated too many times,
[4:09] Speaker 2: the checking, the waiting. In three days, no reaction to
[4:13] Speaker 2: the distribution of the boy's prints. In three days, many
[4:16] Speaker 2: viewers of the dead, of many comments, compassionate and otherwise,
[4:20] Speaker 2: but no tear of recognition to fall on the murdered
[4:23] Speaker 2: boy's face. And finally something, the ring the boy had
[4:27] Speaker 2: held so tight in his dead hand, the antique ring,
[4:29] Speaker 2: the strange ring. There was a man who could tell
[4:32] Speaker 2: me about it, the man name of mister Husted of
[4:34] Speaker 2: Hasted Jewelry Limited on Lower Madisone go there, wait for
[4:39] Speaker 2: mister Husted to wipe the mist off his roomless eyeglasses,
[4:42] Speaker 2: replace them in their allotted furrow. The better to see

[4:51] Speaker 2: Thank you, mister Hustin. I was told back at headquarters
[4:54] Speaker 2: you knew something about the ring. We found them, we
[4:56] Speaker 2: could avoid.
[4:57] Speaker 9: A mention of the dead.
[4:58] Speaker 10: It would please me, mister Global.
[5:00] Speaker 9: You see, I'm quite old by now, and such things you.

[5:24] Speaker 10: It is the memories, this little circle goals gone last days,
[5:30] Speaker 10: the days of twilight and waltz.
[5:32] Speaker 2: No time, let's just tell me what there is about
[5:34] Speaker 2: this ring, mister.
[5:36] Speaker 9: I was third clerk, then learning the business.
[5:39] Speaker 10: My father let me wait on her. A shining girl.
[5:43] Speaker 10: I remember she breathed to a fiancy. She breathed, I
[5:46] Speaker 10: like this one. I like this one for my wedding ring.
[5:50] Speaker 10: Her voice was the girl who are day after became
[5:54] Speaker 10: missus Renee Garland, a girl who is dead now. I
[5:58] Speaker 10: attended her funeral.

[6:36] Speaker 2: the better to see the twilight days, and in a
[6:46] Speaker 2: fifth avenue mansion be told to wait for Earl Garland.
[6:49] Speaker 2: Wait in a great hall bare, almost empty, its aged
[6:53] Speaker 2: walls veined with the delicate arteries of cracked plaster. It's
[6:57] Speaker 2: only warmth ashes of candle flame spattering against the darkness
[7:01] Speaker 2: from candle, a bragh hanging loose, and from somewhere inside
[7:05] Speaker 2: the place, a throbbing of lost music, wandering, Then a
[7:09] Speaker 2: man in a far doorway, pausing an instant, then walking
[7:12] Speaker 2: towards you, then offering a gloved hand.
[7:17] Speaker 8: I'm Mariel Garland. The servants said it was about a ring.
[7:22] Speaker 8: You're wondering about my glass.
[7:23] Speaker 2: A little unusual, isn't it, Mister Garland. Don't seem to
[7:26] Speaker 2: be going anywhere.
[7:27] Speaker 11: It's only that it's.
[7:28] Speaker 8: Cold in here, cold house. It's not that I'm named
[7:32] Speaker 8: or any like that. You see two hands complete. Yeah,
[7:39] Speaker 8: it is about a ring, isn't it?
[7:41] Speaker 5: Not?
[7:41] Speaker 8: About my personal affectations?
[7:43] Speaker 2: About a ring?
[7:44] Speaker 8: This one? You must have known it was once my mother's,
[7:47] Speaker 8: or you wouldn't have come to my cold house.
[7:49] Speaker 2: Boy was holding on to it. A murdered boy we
[7:52] Speaker 2: found in Central Park. How does it happen? He had
[7:55] Speaker 2: your mother's wedding ring, mister Garland.
[7:57] Speaker 8: Now that you speak of it, he could have found,
[8:00] Speaker 8: had stolen it, had it given to him by some
[8:02] Speaker 8: progeny of my mother's servant.
[8:04] Speaker 2: You will explain it to me.
[8:06] Speaker 8: It's not that unusual. When mother died, she left a
[8:09] Speaker 8: poignant note parceling out her trinkets.
[8:12] Speaker 2: Her bubbles, some jewels of value to.
[8:15] Speaker 8: Her faithful attendance. Our lawyers didn't quarrel with it.
[8:19] Speaker 2: He had and you never saw the ring after that.
[8:22] Speaker 8: No, mother had left me less tangible things to remember
[8:27] Speaker 8: me by. May I have it?
[8:30] Speaker 2: We'd like to keep it for a while, mister Garland, I'll.

[8:49] Speaker 8: Poor anguish child, just if you'll know it, mister Garland. No, No,
[8:56] Speaker 8: I've never sworn you will pardon me it Well, Doctor,
[9:03] Speaker 8: I have said it to you before. There's very little
[9:06] Speaker 8: more that I can ans. Since I have faith in you,
[9:08] Speaker 8: you will help her her places Claire Serene Lisa, Lisa
[9:13] Speaker 8: wants to be with me what my wife wants to
[9:15] Speaker 8: take the music away from her? Only sinks her deeper
[9:18] Speaker 8: into whatever she's looking for.

[9:50] Speaker 4: People from the outside to see you, fell who says
[9:54] Speaker 4: he brings news from Central Clark This way to see
[9:58] Speaker 4: Nanny clover.
[10:00] Speaker 2: All, Geo, we'll sit down, please, thank you.
[10:05] Speaker 5: I'm Nagel. Oh, yes, and what did you want to
[10:11] Speaker 5: see me about? You know which Nagel I am?
[10:14] Speaker 13: No?
[10:14] Speaker 2: I don't I see which Nagel.
[10:18] Speaker 13: Are you the one who hangs around Central Park? I've
[10:22] Speaker 13: been in jail for doing it. That's why I thought
[10:24] Speaker 13: you might know I was the Nagel.
[10:27] Speaker 2: No, why did they put you in jail.
[10:30] Speaker 13: Hanging around now? Your authorities are convinced I'm harmless. I
[10:35] Speaker 13: just like to sit in the park. That's all all night.
[10:38] Speaker 13: Every so often I choose a place in the park
[10:40] Speaker 13: I might like and sit there a few nights.
[10:43] Speaker 11: And enjoy it.
[10:45] Speaker 2: Several days ago, a boy was shot at the lake
[10:48] Speaker 2: near one hundred and tenth Straight. I know, did you
[10:50] Speaker 2: see it happen?
[10:51] Speaker 11: No?
[10:52] Speaker 13: Then what I That night I was sitting on the mall.
[10:56] Speaker 13: Night before last, I took to sitting around the lake.
[11:00] Speaker 13: Perhaps the fact that a murderer had been committed there
[11:02] Speaker 13: prompted me to do so.
[11:04] Speaker 5: I don't know.
[11:04] Speaker 11: I never questioned myself.
[11:06] Speaker 5: That's one of the reasons I can sit around and
[11:08] Speaker 5: be happy. Don't smile. I'll bet that's more than you
[11:11] Speaker 5: can do.
[11:13] Speaker 2: Please go on.
[11:14] Speaker 5: The night before last I was sitting there, but one
[11:17] Speaker 5: o'clock a girl walked up to the edge of the lake.
[11:20] Speaker 5: She stood there for a while and threw a flower
[11:23] Speaker 5: into the water and walked away.
[11:26] Speaker 2: Why didn't you report this before?
[11:29] Speaker 5: It was such a charming thing.
[11:31] Speaker 13: I had to wait until last night to convince myself
[11:33] Speaker 13: it wasn't one of my nicer imaginings. I think things
[11:37] Speaker 13: like that sometimes, and.
[11:38] Speaker 5: I thought maybe this.
[11:39] Speaker 2: The girl came last night too, he did the same thing.
[11:43] Speaker 13: I never did get to see your face. She was
[11:46] Speaker 13: too far away, but I imagine she was very lovely.
[11:51] Speaker 2: Then you wouldn't recognize her again, No.
[11:56] Speaker 13: You might as well know it. The only reason I'm
[11:58] Speaker 13: telling you about it now is I decided to move
[12:00] Speaker 13: from the lake and night I'm going to sit around
[12:02] Speaker 13: the museum.
[12:06] Speaker 2: Then the man got up, walked over to the door
[12:09] Speaker 2: and turned toward me, smiled. Then he did a peculiar thing.
[12:13] Speaker 2: He opened the door and closed it behind him instead
[12:17] Speaker 2: of dissolving in a puff of smoke. And wait then
[12:27] Speaker 2: dusk and dinner, nighttime, the cigarettes and midnight and a
[12:32] Speaker 2: little after that, ride up to Central Park. Leave the
[12:35] Speaker 2: car and walk, walk to the lake, find a hummock
[12:38] Speaker 2: of ground and stand there. Button the colt up high. Wait,
[12:42] Speaker 2: watch until it's one o'clock. It's after that, and time
[12:47] Speaker 2: moves nothing else. Wait, time, wait, and the figure that
[12:53] Speaker 2: moves there where the trees are more black than the
[12:55] Speaker 2: night is the figure of a girl moving toward the
[12:58] Speaker 2: lake and stopping. Her face not to be seen through
[13:01] Speaker 2: the branch shadow walk toward her quietly. Finally, for a reason,
[13:10] Speaker 2: the ground spins up at you, hit you, then nothing
[13:16] Speaker 2: at all.
[13:28] Speaker 3: You are listening to Broadways My Beat, written by Morton
[13:32] Speaker 3: Fine and David Friedkin and starring Larry Thor as Detective
[13:36] Speaker 3: Danny Clover. Your nineteen fifty one Christmas Seals are on
[13:41] Speaker 3: their way. You'll be getting them in the mail. Send
[13:44] Speaker 3: your contribution as your personal blow against TB. Remember your
[13:49] Speaker 3: annual check to The National Tuberculosis Association says that you
[13:53] Speaker 3: want to speed the day when TB will no longer
[13:56] Speaker 3: menace mankind.
[13:58] Speaker 11: By Christmas seals.
[14:09] Speaker 2: The light of the November morning touches Broadway shoulders softly,
[14:13] Speaker 2: now breaks the clinch that held it together in the night,
[14:16] Speaker 2: and it becomes the time of the dazed wandering, the
[14:19] Speaker 2: search for a place to sit down. Hold your head
[14:21] Speaker 2: in your hands. Let the morning mists wash away, slowly
[14:25] Speaker 2: dissolve the stains of nighttime. Then the congealing in the shock.
[14:31] Speaker 2: Somewhere was it from across the river, the clawing shriek
[14:34] Speaker 2: of a whistle, the insistent percussion of a bell, steel
[14:37] Speaker 2: hammer electrically tripped. Gather up the pain, kid, bring it
[14:41] Speaker 2: with you. A new day is dawning. But where you
[14:49] Speaker 2: are it's luckier. A hand touches the wound, gentle, knowing,
[14:54] Speaker 2: pro fashion, and it's what wakes you, the pain being
[14:57] Speaker 2: carried away in the hands of doctor Sisko. Good, real
[15:05] Speaker 2: good rest.
[15:07] Speaker 4: It's just like the good. Doctor Sinsky says, Danny, you
[15:10] Speaker 4: slept real good.
[15:12] Speaker 2: How do you know, gin know well?
[15:14] Speaker 4: How does one come to know these things? Danny?
[15:16] Speaker 5: One well What our sergeant.
[15:20] Speaker 8: Is trying to say, Danny, is that he.
[15:21] Speaker 5: Stayed up all night with you here in the infirm
[15:25] Speaker 5: hear it your.
[15:25] Speaker 4: Bedside, Doctor Sinski, you have betrayed a confidence from this moment.
[15:29] Speaker 4: Henceforth I no longer feel impelled to entrust you with
[15:32] Speaker 4: a Dartaglia secret.
[15:33] Speaker 2: You could have gone home. G know you you didn't
[15:35] Speaker 2: have to do that. How does it feel any hurts
[15:39] Speaker 2: should feel walking by yourself by a lake in the
[15:42] Speaker 2: middle of the night. What do you expect?
[15:45] Speaker 5: What do you think?
[15:45] Speaker 14: To Sinski?
[15:46] Speaker 8: You mind?
[15:48] Speaker 5: That's all I had to say to you, Danny.
[15:52] Speaker 4: You feel like talking shop? Otherwise you could wait until
[15:55] Speaker 4: the next treatment. Our boys staked out the lake after
[15:59] Speaker 4: you or mayhem o lonely girl was found walking alone.
[16:02] Speaker 4: The other thing is what the man in your office
[16:05] Speaker 4: whilst you were in disposed He identified the murdered boy
[16:07] Speaker 4: found in the lake of her same location.
[16:24] Speaker 2: Oh just look where you are? Your name, please Clark?
[16:30] Speaker 14: How that boy downstairs? That boy downstairs? You want to
[16:35] Speaker 14: know who he is? Well, his name is Paul. His
[16:38] Speaker 14: mother gave him that name. It was one of the
[16:40] Speaker 14: last things she ever did. Paul was born December ninth,
[16:43] Speaker 14: nineteen thirty two. His mother died December twelfth. His mother's
[16:47] Speaker 14: name was Helen. When he was born, Paul, mister Clark.
[16:51] Speaker 14: Paul had blonde here, either Helen or I liked blonde
[16:54] Speaker 14: here because she was brunette, and I I am too.
[16:58] Speaker 14: Paul's here turned you're his father, and as he grew
[17:02] Speaker 14: up here became identity, the color of mind. He went
[17:06] Speaker 14: to grade school, high school, not college. Understand his high
[17:09] Speaker 14: school his friends were boys and girls who came out
[17:12] Speaker 14: of the house once.
[17:15] Speaker 11: They never came on again.
[17:17] Speaker 2: Could you tell me why that was?
[17:19] Speaker 14: Exactly for the same reason Paul and I were embarrassed
[17:24] Speaker 14: in front of it. There was no language between us
[17:28] Speaker 14: after the helloes and how did the day go?
[17:31] Speaker 11: And just nothing to say.
[17:33] Speaker 14: I see, I knew Paul only in that I could
[17:36] Speaker 14: recognize his face. And the boy lying there on that
[17:40] Speaker 14: slab downstairs. He's a stranger, like he always He is
[17:46] Speaker 14: Paul Clark because of the face. He's my son because
[17:50] Speaker 14: his mother bore him.
[17:52] Speaker 2: Can you tell me anything that well, anything about his activities,
[17:55] Speaker 2: his recent comings and goings. He came, he went, Please,
[18:00] Speaker 2: mister Clark, try to think of anything that might be.
[18:02] Speaker 14: Well let's see. Once I asked him what he did
[18:05] Speaker 14: that day and he told me. He said he went
[18:08] Speaker 14: into the park and he listened to music. I said,
[18:11] Speaker 14: how did you have a radio? He said no, I
[18:17] Speaker 14: never asked.
[18:19] Speaker 2: And no friends.
[18:21] Speaker 14: Well, a person called it from time to time, person
[18:23] Speaker 14: of the kind of strange name Churek. I think it was,
[18:27] Speaker 14: but he hasn't called quite a Churek. Who's Ben Curek?
[18:33] Speaker 9: Now?
[18:33] Speaker 14: Will you, assistant, mister c show me the forms that
[18:36] Speaker 14: I must fill in to get my son's body.
[18:48] Speaker 2: Then search the city's directory for the name Ben Turek,
[18:51] Speaker 2: and beside it an address West twelfth and an occupation
[18:55] Speaker 2: artist go to Ben Turek to a studio where the
[18:58] Speaker 2: November lights still her through a curtained skylight, where the
[19:02] Speaker 2: November light caresses a girl's face painted on canvas.
[19:06] Speaker 15: You walk in here, open your mouth to speak to me,
[19:08] Speaker 15: and nothing comes out. My painting freezes you where you stand.
[19:12] Speaker 2: I'm that good.
[19:12] Speaker 15: Huh?
[19:12] Speaker 2: Where is she? Mister Truk?
[19:14] Speaker 15: Me woulout call her when I hang her on exhibition,
[19:16] Speaker 15: But I call her now and they heretofore, privacy of
[19:19] Speaker 15: my soul?
[19:19] Speaker 2: What you call her now?
[19:21] Speaker 15: Girl of the miss Child of the Lake, Midwinter's Night Dream,
[19:24] Speaker 15: Beauty and the pain.
[19:25] Speaker 2: Take your picked you know her?
[19:27] Speaker 15: Who doesn't know her? Haven't you cried in the night
[19:29] Speaker 15: because that girl, the girl in the painting there, wouldn't
[19:31] Speaker 15: come closer, wouldn't lean down.
[19:33] Speaker 2: You know her?
[19:35] Speaker 15: We met her once walking through the park and never
[19:36] Speaker 15: got her name, never saw her again. That masterpiece you
[19:40] Speaker 15: admires from memory, it's for sale, kid, but at a
[19:43] Speaker 15: very high cost.
[19:44] Speaker 2: You and who else met her?
[19:45] Speaker 15: The boy I know you? Came to talk to me
[19:47] Speaker 15: about the boy Paul Clark.
[19:49] Speaker 2: He was murdered. He lay in the morgue three days more,

[24:34] Speaker 2: A man. I've been watching the lake in Central Park,
[24:36] Speaker 2: mister Garland. I found your wife there.
[24:39] Speaker 8: I see. The last time you were here, you heard
[24:42] Speaker 8: the doctor say how ill she was.
[24:45] Speaker 2: She went looking for Paul. Oh, Paul, the boy who
[24:50] Speaker 2: was shot and thrown into the lake.
[24:53] Speaker 8: You say Lisa was looking for him.
[24:58] Speaker 7: I didn't find him. He's gone. M hm, those men
[25:01] Speaker 7: stop me. I could have found him, Lisa.
[25:05] Speaker 8: I don't understand.
[25:07] Speaker 11: I don't understand any Tell.
[25:08] Speaker 2: Your husband about Paul, Lisa. He knows, no, I don't think,
[25:13] Speaker 2: so you'd better.
[25:14] Speaker 7: Tell her he's seen Paul.
[25:16] Speaker 2: Oh, yes, I know that. But what I want you
[25:19] Speaker 2: to tell your husband is what you told me about
[25:22] Speaker 2: how you belonged to Paul.
[25:24] Speaker 8: Tell him about that, mister Clover. You know it as
[25:27] Speaker 8: well as I do, Lisa is don't make me say
[25:33] Speaker 8: it about my own life.
[25:34] Speaker 2: Tell him Lisa.
[25:37] Speaker 7: Once I saw Paul. Then after that we'd be very
[25:41] Speaker 7: late in that place by the lake, in other places
[25:47] Speaker 7: far away. Every place was far away, and sometimes there'd
[25:52] Speaker 7: be other people where they know all about these places too.
[25:57] Speaker 7: We'd never talked with each other. We just passing wave
[26:04] Speaker 7: and then the wind would always scatter as Paul and
[26:08] Speaker 7: I would always be alone.
[26:12] Speaker 6: Paul.
[26:14] Speaker 8: Paul's not out there.
[26:17] Speaker 7: No, Paul's not up there. He's not up here.
[26:23] Speaker 2: Mister Clover, you see how it was, mister Garland. I thought,
[26:29] Speaker 2: I thought's all there was your wife, that boy they
[26:33] Speaker 2: meet the walk. I see another thing, mister Goland. Your
[26:38] Speaker 2: wife is wearing her wedding ring again.
[26:42] Speaker 8: Lisa, I want you to know I'm tired.
[26:46] Speaker 7: May I go to my room now? Please?
[26:48] Speaker 11: Yes, go ahead, Thank you, mister Clover.
[26:59] Speaker 8: That was kind of you. I didn't want her to
[27:02] Speaker 8: hear you know why Paul hadn't. I suppose it was
[27:07] Speaker 8: just a child's gift.
[27:09] Speaker 2: That tried to another childhood.
[27:12] Speaker 11: You didn't have to kill.
[27:13] Speaker 2: When you followed the Maves doct domination. Should have known
[27:17] Speaker 2: that Paul was as lost.
[27:18] Speaker 8: As your wife should have known. I thought it was
[27:21] Speaker 8: something else. I I thought it was a boy who
[27:25] Speaker 8: picked up my sick wife in the park and was
[27:27] Speaker 8: acting a park boy.
[27:28] Speaker 2: Just slug me because if I learned the girl who
[27:30] Speaker 2: came to Blake was your Wifi'd know who killed Paul.
[27:34] Speaker 8: And now you know, may I say goodbye to my wife?
[27:40] Speaker 2: I'd better go with you.
[27:41] Speaker 8: All right? No, No, I'd better not. If I went
[27:51] Speaker 8: into that room now while she's playing that music, she
[27:57] Speaker 8: wouldn't even know who I was. Take me away, mister Glover.
[28:24] Speaker 2: In the dregs of night time, the slabs of Broadway
[28:28] Speaker 2: lean against the darkness in crazy tilted angles. The balance
[28:33] Speaker 2: is delicate, precise, so the walk must be careful, but
[28:38] Speaker 2: talk furtive. It's the never never time that ebbs toward
[28:43] Speaker 2: the ends of the world. It's the time regret. It's Broadway,
[28:50] Speaker 2: the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.
[28:56] Speaker 3: Broadway, My Beat, Broadways, My Beat stars Larry Thor as
[29:18] Speaker 3: Detective Danny Clover, with Charles Calvert as Tartaglia and Jack
[29:22] Speaker 3: Krushian as Mugavin. The program was produced and directed by
[29:25] Speaker 3: Elliot Lewis, with musical score composed and conducted by Alexander
[29:29] Speaker 3: Courage and Tonight's story. Whitfield Connor was heard as Earl
[29:32] Speaker 3: Garland and Sammy Hill as Lisa Garland. Featured in the
[29:36] Speaker 3: cast were Ted Osborne, Junius Matthews, Howard mcneer, and Lou Merrill.
[29:42] Speaker 3: Maybe your dad.
[29:43] Speaker 2: Canct John A.
[29:44] Speaker 3: McCarthy's dad, but nobody canllect Chatty McCarthy's Edgar Bergen, not
[29:47] Speaker 3: when the slick comedy is called for. The Edgar burg
[29:50] Speaker 3: and Chatty McCarthy Show, heard every Sunday night on CBS Radio,
[29:53] Speaker 3: is just about one of the funniest things that can
[29:55] Speaker 3: happen to You listen for it and laugh Tomorrow night
[29:58] Speaker 3: on most of these same stations, Bill Anders speaking, and
[30:02] Speaker 3: remember the comedy treat that can't be beat is Jack
[30:04] Speaker 3: Benny Time Sunday nights on the CBS rady On Network.
[31:04] Speaker 1: Welcome Back Well a somewhat noteworthy conclusion given the fact
[31:11] Speaker 1: that usually.
[31:12] Speaker 9: The murderers really put on.
[31:14] Speaker 1: Some historyonics, but that's not the case in this episode
[31:18] Speaker 1: at all, as we get one of the more sympathetic
[31:22] Speaker 1: characters laced in terms of motivation and demeanor, and Danny
[31:28] Speaker 1: is a lot gentler and kinder than usual, which reflects
[31:34] Speaker 1: a different attitude towards this particular killer. Now, I will
[31:38] Speaker 1: admit that the solution just based on his temperament is
[31:44] Speaker 1: kind of a stretch, and it's a strained flave that
[31:49] Speaker 1: a dedicated spouse for a troubled wife is going to
[31:54] Speaker 1: read this as an affair and if he does take
[31:59] Speaker 1: that sort of action, but your knowledge may vary. And
[32:03] Speaker 1: on another note, we just keep getting more reasons to
[32:07] Speaker 1: like Tartaglia of unique relationship between him and Danny, and
[32:13] Speaker 1: it is very different from nearly every detective we have,
[32:19] Speaker 1: and I can't think of another example in the Great
[32:22] Speaker 1: Detectives where the detective has someone in their life who,
[32:28] Speaker 1: aside from any other work obligation or any selfish motives,
[32:35] Speaker 1: is just there looking out for them as a person.
[32:39] Speaker 1: And as dour as Daddy's outlook can get, he needs that.
[32:43] Speaker 1: So that continues just to be an incredibly wholesome part
[32:48] Speaker 1: of this program. All right, listener comments and feedback now,
[32:52] Speaker 1: and we start over on YouTube, where Betsy comments, good
[32:57] Speaker 1: one enjoyed the music at the end in too, and
[33:01] Speaker 1: that's regarding the Macklin and John Howard murder case, and
[33:05] Speaker 1: the music is really fun. We get those on Armed
[33:10] Speaker 1: Forces Radio Service transcriptions and we tend to get the
[33:15] Speaker 1: extra music as these are network radio broadcasts that are
[33:21] Speaker 1: being aired to fit in in Armed Forces Radio and
[33:25] Speaker 1: Television Service tom SLOUGHT, but without commercial messages or network programming,
[33:33] Speaker 1: so they need to add a little music in and
[33:35] Speaker 1: the music that they add in is always just a
[33:39] Speaker 1: wonderful listen to. And then we have some comments on
[33:43] Speaker 1: Blueberry our listener survey survey dot Great Detectives dot net.

[34:59] Speaker 16: Just one thing I want to ask you about.
[35:01] Speaker 2: It's over here by the window.
[35:03] Speaker 16: Yes, this wire here apparently an aerial connection for a
[35:08] Speaker 16: television set looks like.
[35:09] Speaker 17: Yes, mister Taber does have a television Why.
[35:14] Speaker 16: Well, I don't notice a set anywhere in the apartment.
[35:15] Speaker 16: Would you have to recall if he set it out
[35:17] Speaker 16: for repairs anything like that?
[35:19] Speaker 17: No, not that I know of. Besides, this doesn't seem
[35:23] Speaker 17: like mis to table at all.
[35:24] Speaker 2: What do you mean, miss Higby?
[35:26] Speaker 17: He's always so neat, fastidiously And that wire there looks
[35:30] Speaker 17: like it was torn off the connection, doesn't it along
[35:33] Speaker 17: the window sill too? Is not terrible fast news for
[35:37] Speaker 17: the wire right out of the woodwork. That certainly doesn't
[35:40] Speaker 17: seem like mister Tabor.
[35:43] Speaker 16: Anyone else besides him have access to this.
[35:45] Speaker 17: Apartment man, No one that I know of, No one
[35:48] Speaker 17: besides myself. I mean, I have duplicate keys to all
[35:51] Speaker 17: the apartments. Oh, I just happened to think, ma'am, if
[35:55] Speaker 17: a repair man did move to set out, it's possible
[35:58] Speaker 17: my hospital I might know about it. Sam, that's my
[36:02] Speaker 17: house boy.
[36:02] Speaker 2: How would he know about it? Well, it's the rule
[36:05] Speaker 2: of the house.
[36:05] Speaker 17: All furniture heavy things like that, they have to be
[36:08] Speaker 17: taken down in the freight elevator. Dope's right onto the
[36:11] Speaker 17: alley in the back of the building. It's very handy.
[36:13] Speaker 8: Yes, Sam's the.
[36:14] Speaker 17: Only one who operates that elevator. That's why I say
[36:17] Speaker 17: it's possible he might know about it. Would you like
[36:19] Speaker 17: to have me ask him?
[36:20] Speaker 16: I wonder if you would please, surely it.
[36:22] Speaker 17: Won't take a bit a minute and I'll be right back,
[36:24] Speaker 17: Thank you.
