PC presents franscribes Frank Lovejoy in.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Ye Hi, this is Randy Stone. I covered the night
sees the Chicago Stars. There's a certain party around town
(00:34):
by the name of Panagen. He plugs out on acid columns,
who pierces the debt based on semmy truth from the
political gossip, and backstage hearsay all of it liberally spices
Fly Thomas on female annims. His major pitch is what
he calls his target of the week, which some unfortunate
(00:55):
citizen gets a six day mudband as a result. Those
broken in Tanagen's column are beyond coat.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Last week the color of his inc hit home and hard.
Believe me, friends, it's something of a shock to pick
up the opposition papers only to read that you're a killer.
I was pounding out the final paragraph a few hours
in deadline when a coffee boy burst into the city
(01:27):
room and told me.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
My boss man, Joe Phillips, one of the scene he quits.
I walked up a fight.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Aftairs down a hall of fostered glass door at the
one marked night. Editor Phillips was leaning over his desk,
his heavy brow squeezed into a familiar frown. The minute
I came in, He picked up a clicking.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
From the Pierces Gazette and bade me take a chair,
said a Randy Pleasure looks up.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
You won't believe this even after you read it.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You won't be leaving. Well, let's hear it.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Hold out of your seat. No surprise is the rumor
that Randy Stone should Carlos Star news man triggered Harry
the Slicker Barrenson.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
What maggs more Randy.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It is said in the more authoress hative circles here
that the Boys in Blue rigged a confession from ex
khan Johnny Liggett to protect the Star's fan name with
nigger Boofer electrocution tomorrow at twelve oh one, wouldn't you say, governor,
that something should be done about this?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
The end that may say that in black and white
triggered Harry the Slicker Barrenson. Let's not say a gag.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You can buy that gag in any newsstand.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Wow yeah, wow, I feel like somebody gets smacked a
little basket.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You look green, all right? Well, what the answer nearest?
I can figure, Randy. It's that series you did on
Bornson about six months ago, four time over.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That was the title, Oh Love Love for us?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You got any better ideas? That's your only connection with
Barnes for this.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Thing was picked straight out of the air. Why I
don't know. I never had a run in with Pierce's
Gazette Of all the four million people in the city.
Why me?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Maybe because you work for the Star, the Gauzette's stiffest competition.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But it's such an obvious lie, Philip, How do I
hope to get away with it?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Leggott was convicted of Bourne since Burder one, two three.
The jury was out thirty minutes. What about proof?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Anger never let facts stand in his way.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Whatever he gets into his head would be good for circulation.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That's what he writes.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
That's why George Pearce keeps him on.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
He wants to get the Star.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
In a big feud so Chicago will start talking about
it and boost the Gazette up to our level where
we're not playing.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You mean you're letting us go without a fight, not
a word of denial.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
We can't get sucked into this thing.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Ran Now, wait a minute, Wait a minute. This isn't
just a personal matter between Tanagan and me.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
The Star is in at neck deep.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Look, Randy I know how you feel. But everything we print,
good or bad, means a big plug for Pierce's gazette.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Will make me a bargain Phillips.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
If I dig up the Panagen story with facts documented, authentic,
if I bring.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You the whole story where you're printed, what kind of story?
I don't know. I don't know. Maybe the Tanagen and
this big boss George Pierce are covering for somebody. I
don't know. It could be.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I wouldn't put it past them.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
What do you say, man, if the story is really hot? Okay? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I'm not about to laugh this off, Phillips.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Randy, Now, look, take it easy, don't get yourself in
the trouble.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
In trouble.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Listen from now on. Tanagen's my target of the year.
I'm making them a cord. I'll write that disease out
of this town if I have to use handbills. But frankly,
I didn't feel much like brandishing the golden sword.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I felt weak and sick, and I couldn't think.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I went outside into the fighting wind, hoping it would
beat the night man out of my head, but the
terror had taken hold and.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It wouldn't let go it was the giant power of
the lie, issued in a loud voice of sound authority,
amplified by the Prince. That's the way to take the
truth down the side. That's a public cry for blood,
just for your cell tapers.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
While I walked and all the time, a line kept
singing its way through me, a line I used to
chant to the other six year olds when I was
a kidded. Sticks and stones can break my bones, but
names can never hurt me at.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
The kids line strictly. All of which brought me to
my favorite bar on the Cell Street. Jets.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
The bar keep demonstrated some awfully odd behavior. Hi, Jets,
that's the matter with you? Who when you're staring it,
it's gonna work the square. Come on, chat boy, out
with it?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
What the angle? Is nothing wrong with my paper? No, no,
of course not, mister Stone. I'm not gonna shake the
cash drawer. That's pretty good. Hold on, speaks up, friend,
what's the big look, mister Stones? I want you to know.
(06:21):
I don't believe a word of it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
The Palagenca. I told my you know, little bog in there.
I told you didn't even know Borenson. How could you
have anything to do with the killing while you were wrong, chat,
I didn't know him, it did? Yeah, all right, all right,
all right, what's the talk, mister Stone?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You know how it is.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
People they read something, they believe what they read. Think
you get anything's in the paper, it's gonna be right,
you know. Then lots and the rigid confessions to Bornson's murder.
They figure was cut and drished takes huh. Yeah, that
cheap publicity gangs because they had you see.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
What to do?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
You know, they keep contains real ident if he didn't say,
it's the peach secrecy so that none of the people
he talks about get revenge on him.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It's a freedom of expression.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
That's what the papers called it. Freedom of expression. What
am I telling you for? You know the story? But
mister Stone, this thing is pretty hot.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
You know how people are. They're all upset. They all
want to be nice at a round table or something.
Because I'd be kind of careful if I was you.
I don't mean if I was you, I'd go home.
Ye never know what people, mister Stones.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Before well, I like to that said. After I take
care of a little business. But the ter.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
My business concerned the owner and publisher of pierces the zat.
I went to George Perce's residence. I was told by
a rather worried wife the eminent publisher hadn't been home
in twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
He gave me the name of his favorite hangout, which
I guess. She was too proud of the phone and
at me if I found him, when I please tell
him to come home? I said, I will.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
He was there, all right, George Perce, executive, in the
low light of a cheap tavern, pumping his royal bloatedness
full of sherry flushed and sweating her tight causito. I
sat down uninvited, between him and the jolly blonde, thus
killing the punchline.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Of a very old story.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
You're talking about that?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
How are you? Brandy Stone? You'll remember me and the
Chicago Stars wor paper of the country, and said, uh,
I'm already sat Yeah, so you are. I'm sorry. This
is miss Leroy. That's one royal sons. How are you?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
She's a singer, she doesn't talk.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
She's a little under the weather, an't you hope me?
I'll tell you, or I'll say to the police, you
confess to it. Where can I find this pagen is
my little secret.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well, then you tell him that I want a big
column in tomorrow's edition calling himself a liar.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Why don't you take the methods of the court. Oh
you'd like that, sell more papers. Oh you're making me
stick on your way killers. Oh I'm gonna love this
gol You crazy pool.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
What's the matter with you?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
My apologies, lady. When he gets up, tell him his
wife wantshim to come home. I'm a lover of the
quick punch, but I'll admit it.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I walked out of there feeling singularly better.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
A solid less for myself and a few thousand other newspapers.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
And I still believe the morning bundle of print was
created for fact, honest comment and the funny. It was
almost morning. I went home.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I pulled up a chair, propped my feet up on
the window sill, and stared out.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
At Chicorgook dawns. The swirl of soft snow circled the
black pavement.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
A kid in corduroy nickers went by, bucking the wind,
a bunch of papers under his arm, teddling.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But the news of the world or another pack of lives?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I was so lost in the question I hardly noticed
the shadow move over the carpet, the saclin killed, the sheep, cologed.
Then she came into the light, white cheeks spotted with
rouge penciled eyebrows, too young for the makeup, but the
gun in her fist was steady to tell the steel
(10:40):
if it wasn't new to her.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah, she was an old hand. How long have you
been here?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I thought she'd never get back.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I worked nice, Do you know me, Pauline leaked? I
didn't think you'd remembered the time I interviewed you and
your husband.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You asked me all on the questions about what kind
of a life did he live? I said, we lived
a nice kind of life before Johnny.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
He's gonna die tomorrow. You know that, don't you. I
know you know it was same, don't you. That wasn't
the Joey's opinion. Any kind of evidence the police want,
they can cook it up like that, including the bullets
and Barnson's brain don't move, Yeah, bullets, anything. They can
(11:30):
cook it up. About the concession. They cooked that up too.
They told you him to get that concession.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
He has marks on his arms, on his back.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
He told you all this. I saw the marks. Do
you think the police put them there? Who else would
do a thing like that. The police didn't have to
to me. The evidence was all there. If they were marks,
he put them there himself. The sympathy. I knew that.
What you'd say, I knew it. I expected exactly that.
So Johnny Leggers was fine because he's got a record.
(11:59):
The police hate him. How did he get a legends?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Five years he served to Juliet.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
You know why?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
He went to prison to help his brother. His brother
saw a lot of money, and Johnny went to prison
so his brother wouldn't have to. It's touching. And the
two years in eleven was Johnny served up with his
brother too.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Listens, once they start framing your just like Johnny says,
you're the patsy. From there on in, they always put
the thing on you.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You haven't got a chance. Why don't you tell the
governor about all this reserve honors? The lawyer is taking
care of all that. Now, what's the gun for? I
went down to the jail and I sin, I asked him.
I said, Johnny, now you tell me the truth. Did
(12:47):
you do it then?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And he looked at me and he said no.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Pauline and I swear to you, he said, I never.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Done a thing like that.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
It's like everything else, he said, a frame, Pauline, use
your head. Why would I kill Borrence? I don't know
why you killed him? How should I know?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Maybe over some time of deal you had with a
money maybe, or a girl maybe. But this misappears, this
guy Panagen that writes for him. There for the little guy,
always for the little guy, like Johnny.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You want to believe that story? Awful bad, don't you pun? True?
The whole thing is true.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Sure, it bucks the evidence, all the logic, but it's
truey Alvit looks real fine, all printed up, and they
put it up in black and white and charge people
money to read it itselves like a lot of truth dougglers,
like the State's attorney.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You talk good, mister Stone. Johnny's gonna die tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
An awful lot of me is gonna die with him.
That you aren't gonna have a chance to sit back
and laugh. At twelve oh one, they killed Johnny.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
A travel one.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
I tell you, NBC is bringing you ninety, starring Frank
Lovejoy as Randy Stone. Here's an important method for employers
(14:28):
personnel directors in fact, anyone.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Who's in a position to hire people disabled workers have
learned how to take care of themselves. They know how
to avoid accidents on the job. And why not.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
They've gone through one period of suffering and they certainly
don't want another another. Results, well, they observe your safety
rules to a tee. And what's more, you find they
furnish the enthusiasm and leadership or putting across your safety
programs with a bang.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Now do you think this is just theory. It's certainly not.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
It's improved time and time again by surveys conducted the nation.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Over those surveys showed without.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Exceptions, that handicapped workers have better safety records than able
bodied workers doing the same jobs. That's right, better safety records,
and somemitter, employer, hire the handicapped.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Do it now. The local office of your state Employment
service will be glad to help you.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
And now back to nine feet and Randy Stones.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
At twelve oh one, Johnny Leggett would die in the
electric chair at twelve oh one. According to his wife's schedule,
I join her husband and dead.

his money? He worked there better than work all kinds
of jobs. You've handled a gun before. We used to

Nobody knows? Maybe they never see the things. Maybe there's
one good second woman. No no, no knows. They shave
their head y'all.

did the killing.

He'll be punished.

Blake said that I forgive him. Is that all did

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Lagod asked me to take care of his wife, Pauline.

It's a lie to do lie Tanigen. Tanagen never lies, Pauline.
And he always said to me.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
There never is anybody that you, Pauline. He always said that.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You better make up your mind for it. If Tanagen's
a liar, woman that Johnny went with another woman, tanagens
telling the truth. If he didn't, Tanagen's a liar, he's
a liar. If he's a liar, Pauline, then he lied
about a lot.

He's a liar. Johnny wouldn't do that to me.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Give me the gun, stay.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Away, stay away from the gun. To come, hear me,

the electric chair that he was cheating on her all
the time, just because.

Somebody paid it a lie.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
He loved me, Johnny loved me.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
You're right, he loved you very much.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
He couldn't do anything like that when he loved me
so much.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Sure, he loves you that much. And a man who
loves you that much. Couldn't do that too, You couldn't
have been seeing another woman. It's a dirty lie. Everything's
a light for me. Everything they said, they lied about
both of us. Give me that gun, you come with
me where you go. Wait a minute. They make me
(24:45):
so shame. He wasn't saying anymore.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
The truth and the lie, reality and the fame were
mud in her mind. Her eyes gleamed, the shame anger hey, all.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Melted into madness.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
She brought me out into the car of the curve,
and talking myself out of my own killing.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I tucked her into another.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Our destination, the home of Panagan's boss, George Tears. It
was eleven fifty five and his residence. He answered the door,
blinking into the darkness, his tiny eyes buried in sweet
puffy flesh, his both just wrapped in a silk dressing
gown and speed and carpet slioker.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
He was scratching himself.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
There us get inside. Hurry up, she's got a gun, George,
don't I looked.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
At him inside.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
He's right, I've got it balling listen inside business, lead,
jest paper, what's the trouble? Is not a woman? Just
for human interest? Might have said something. You look, why
don't we go into the library and have a drink?
(26:04):
You you look like you could use the drinks. He's
going to die to night. He's going to die, and
you all you care about it human interest? You write
things like that about him taking off like I wasn't
a good wife. Nobody ever loved anybody that he loved me.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
And it's appears nobody.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You know about tenigent true, there is no tag, and
everything that goes into that columny is yours. Mischief is
every dirty line of it your tig and I too.
Where's the liars?
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I didn't even see there?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay, Paul, he's dead. Got what you came for? What
time is it? Twelve o'clock? Confess till a legot died
(27:24):
in the chair last night and his wife will be
tried for murders. Her attorneys were meaning that he didn't
know right from wrong or true from fault. I wouldn't
be surprised if the thought went along with him.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
But by the same token, if you pass the test,
how good are you at telling him.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
The lies and the truth?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Does the truth vary according to your personal convenience? Black
one day, white the next, the next time you read anything,
ask yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I have the right to doubt. Am I using it?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Because it's two dangerous living in a world of missus
form people. There's a reason why the lie is the
Tyrant's favorite death weapon. It's killed more people since the
world Again and all the Armies and the autumobiles put together.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Copy Boy.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Night Beat, starring Frank Lovejoy, is produced and directed by
Warren Lewis. Tonight's sanscrit story was written by David Ellis
with music by Robert An Brusters. The part of Pauline
was played by Joan Banks. Others secret were Bill Conrad,
Peter Leeds.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
And Blue Prudin.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Listen next week at this time and every week as
Randy down searches through the city for the strange stories
waiting for him in the darkness, night Be came to
(29:22):
you from Hollywood.
PC presents franscribes Frank Lovejoy in.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Ye Hi, this is Randy Stone. I covered the night
sees the Chicago Stars. There's a certain party around town
(00:34):
by the name of Panagen. He plugs out on acid columns,
who pierces the debt based on semmy truth from the
political gossip, and backstage hearsay all of it liberally spices
Fly Thomas on female annims. His major pitch is what
he calls his target of the week, which some unfortunate
(00:55):
citizen gets a six day mudband as a result. Those
broken in Tanagen's column are beyond coat.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Well.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Last week the color of his inc hit home and hard.
Believe me, friends, it's something of a shock to pick
up the opposition papers only to read that you're a killer.
I was pounding out the final paragraph a few hours
in deadline when a coffee boy burst into the city
(01:27):
room and told me.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
My boss man, Joe Phillips, one of the scene he quits.
I walked up a fight.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Aftairs down a hall of fostered glass door at the
one marked night. Editor Phillips was leaning over his desk,
his heavy brow squeezed into a familiar frown. The minute
I came in, He picked up a clicking.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
From the Pierces Gazette and bade me take a chair,
said a Randy Pleasure looks up.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
You won't believe this even after you read it.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
You won't be leaving. Well, let's hear it.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Hold out of your seat. No surprise is the rumor
that Randy Stone should Carlos Star news man triggered Harry
the Slicker Barrenson.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
What maggs more Randy.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It is said in the more authoress hative circles here
that the Boys in Blue rigged a confession from ex
khan Johnny Liggett to protect the Star's fan name with
nigger Boofer electrocution tomorrow at twelve oh one, wouldn't you say, governor,
that something should be done about this?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
The end that may say that in black and white
triggered Harry the Slicker Barrenson. Let's not say a gag.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You can buy that gag in any newsstand.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Wow yeah, wow, I feel like somebody gets smacked a
little basket.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You look green, all right? Well, what the answer nearest?
I can figure, Randy. It's that series you did on
Bornson about six months ago, four time over.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That was the title, Oh Love Love for us?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You got any better ideas? That's your only connection with
Barnes for this.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Thing was picked straight out of the air. Why I
don't know. I never had a run in with Pierce's
Gazette Of all the four million people in the city.
Why me?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Maybe because you work for the Star, the Gauzette's stiffest competition.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But it's such an obvious lie, Philip, How do I
hope to get away with it?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Leggott was convicted of Bourne since Burder one, two three.
The jury was out thirty minutes. What about proof?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Anger never let facts stand in his way.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Whatever he gets into his head would be good for circulation.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That's what he writes.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
That's why George Pearce keeps him on.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
He wants to get the Star.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
In a big feud so Chicago will start talking about
it and boost the Gazette up to our level where
we're not playing.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You mean you're letting us go without a fight, not
a word of denial.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
We can't get sucked into this thing.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Ran Now, wait a minute, Wait a minute. This isn't
just a personal matter between Tanagan and me.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
The Star is in at neck deep.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Look, Randy I know how you feel. But everything we print,
good or bad, means a big plug for Pierce's gazette.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Will make me a bargain Phillips.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
If I dig up the Panagen story with facts documented, authentic,
if I bring.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You the whole story where you're printed, what kind of story?
I don't know. I don't know. Maybe the Tanagen and
this big boss George Pierce are covering for somebody. I
don't know. It could be.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I wouldn't put it past them.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
What do you say, man, if the story is really hot? Okay? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I'm not about to laugh this off, Phillips.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Randy, Now, look, take it easy, don't get yourself in
the trouble.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
In trouble.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Listen from now on. Tanagen's my target of the year.
I'm making them a cord. I'll write that disease out
of this town if I have to use handbills. But frankly,
I didn't feel much like brandishing the golden sword.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I felt weak and sick, and I couldn't think.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I went outside into the fighting wind, hoping it would
beat the night man out of my head, but the
terror had taken hold and.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It wouldn't let go it was the giant power of
the lie, issued in a loud voice of sound authority,
amplified by the Prince. That's the way to take the
truth down the side. That's a public cry for blood,
just for your cell tapers.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
While I walked and all the time, a line kept
singing its way through me, a line I used to
chant to the other six year olds when I was
a kidded. Sticks and stones can break my bones, but
names can never hurt me at.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
The kids line strictly. All of which brought me to
my favorite bar on the Cell Street. Jets.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
The bar keep demonstrated some awfully odd behavior. Hi, Jets,
that's the matter with you? Who when you're staring it,
it's gonna work the square. Come on, chat boy, out
with it?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
What the angle? Is nothing wrong with my paper? No, no,
of course not, mister Stone. I'm not gonna shake the
cash drawer. That's pretty good. Hold on, speaks up, friend,
what's the big look, mister Stones? I want you to know.
(06:21):
I don't believe a word of it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
The Palagenca. I told my you know, little bog in there.
I told you didn't even know Borenson. How could you
have anything to do with the killing while you were wrong, chat,
I didn't know him, it did? Yeah, all right, all right,
all right, what's the talk, mister Stone?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You know how it is.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
People they read something, they believe what they read. Think
you get anything's in the paper, it's gonna be right,
you know. Then lots and the rigid confessions to Bornson's murder.
They figure was cut and drished takes huh. Yeah, that
cheap publicity gangs because they had you see.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
What to do?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
You know, they keep contains real ident if he didn't say,
it's the peach secrecy so that none of the people
he talks about get revenge on him.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It's a freedom of expression.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
That's what the papers called it. Freedom of expression. What
am I telling you for? You know the story? But
mister Stone, this thing is pretty hot.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
You know how people are. They're all upset. They all
want to be nice at a round table or something.
Because I'd be kind of careful if I was you.
I don't mean if I was you, I'd go home.
Ye never know what people, mister Stones.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Before well, I like to that said. After I take
care of a little business. But the ter.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
My business concerned the owner and publisher of pierces the zat.
I went to George Perce's residence. I was told by
a rather worried wife the eminent publisher hadn't been home
in twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
He gave me the name of his favorite hangout, which
I guess. She was too proud of the phone and
at me if I found him, when I please tell
him to come home? I said, I will.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
He was there, all right, George Perce, executive, in the
low light of a cheap tavern, pumping his royal bloatedness
full of sherry flushed and sweating her tight causito. I
sat down uninvited, between him and the jolly blonde, thus
killing the punchline.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Of a very old story.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
You're talking about that?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
How are you? Brandy Stone? You'll remember me and the
Chicago Stars wor paper of the country, and said, uh,
I'm already sat Yeah, so you are. I'm sorry. This
is miss Leroy. That's one royal sons. How are you?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
She's a singer, she doesn't talk.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
She's a little under the weather, an't you hope me?
I'll tell you, or I'll say to the police, you
confess to it. Where can I find this pagen is
my little secret.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well, then you tell him that I want a big
column in tomorrow's edition calling himself a liar.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Why don't you take the methods of the court. Oh
you'd like that, sell more papers. Oh you're making me
stick on your way killers. Oh I'm gonna love this
gol You crazy pool.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
What's the matter with you?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
My apologies, lady. When he gets up, tell him his
wife wantshim to come home. I'm a lover of the
quick punch, but I'll admit it.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I walked out of there feeling singularly better.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
A solid less for myself and a few thousand other newspapers.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
And I still believe the morning bundle of print was
created for fact, honest comment and the funny. It was
almost morning. I went home.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I pulled up a chair, propped my feet up on
the window sill, and stared out.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
At Chicorgook dawns. The swirl of soft snow circled the
black pavement.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
A kid in corduroy nickers went by, bucking the wind,
a bunch of papers under his arm, teddling.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But the news of the world or another pack of lives?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I was so lost in the question I hardly noticed
the shadow move over the carpet, the saclin killed, the sheep, cologed.
Then she came into the light, white cheeks spotted with
rouge penciled eyebrows, too young for the makeup, but the
gun in her fist was steady to tell the steel
(10:40):
if it wasn't new to her.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah, she was an old hand. How long have you
been here?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I thought she'd never get back.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I worked nice, Do you know me, Pauline leaked? I
didn't think you'd remembered the time I interviewed you and
your husband.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You asked me all on the questions about what kind
of a life did he live? I said, we lived
a nice kind of life before Johnny.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
He's gonna die tomorrow. You know that, don't you. I
know you know it was same, don't you. That wasn't
the Joey's opinion. Any kind of evidence the police want,
they can cook it up like that, including the bullets
and Barnson's brain don't move, Yeah, bullets, anything. They can
(11:30):
cook it up. About the concession. They cooked that up too.
They told you him to get that concession.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
He has marks on his arms, on his back.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
He told you all this. I saw the marks. Do
you think the police put them there? Who else would
do a thing like that. The police didn't have to
to me. The evidence was all there. If they were marks,
he put them there himself. The sympathy. I knew that.
What you'd say, I knew it. I expected exactly that.
So Johnny Leggers was fine because he's got a record.
(11:59):
The police hate him. How did he get a legends?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Five years he served to Juliet.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
You know why?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
He went to prison to help his brother. His brother
saw a lot of money, and Johnny went to prison
so his brother wouldn't have to. It's touching. And the
two years in eleven was Johnny served up with his
brother too.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Listens, once they start framing your just like Johnny says,
you're the patsy. From there on in, they always put
the thing on you.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You haven't got a chance. Why don't you tell the
governor about all this reserve honors? The lawyer is taking
care of all that. Now, what's the gun for? I
went down to the jail and I sin, I asked him.
I said, Johnny, now you tell me the truth. Did
(12:47):
you do it then?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And he looked at me and he said no.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Pauline and I swear to you, he said, I never.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Done a thing like that.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
It's like everything else, he said, a frame, Pauline, use
your head. Why would I kill Borrence? I don't know
why you killed him? How should I know?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Maybe over some time of deal you had with a
money maybe, or a girl maybe. But this misappears, this
guy Panagen that writes for him. There for the little guy,
always for the little guy, like Johnny.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You want to believe that story? Awful bad, don't you pun? True?
The whole thing is true.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Sure, it bucks the evidence, all the logic, but it's
truey Alvit looks real fine, all printed up, and they
put it up in black and white and charge people
money to read it itselves like a lot of truth dougglers,
like the State's attorney.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You talk good, mister Stone. Johnny's gonna die tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
An awful lot of me is gonna die with him.
That you aren't gonna have a chance to sit back
and laugh. At twelve oh one, they killed Johnny.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
A travel one.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
I tell you, NBC is bringing you ninety, starring Frank
Lovejoy as Randy Stone. Here's an important method for employers
(14:28):
personnel directors in fact, anyone.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Who's in a position to hire people disabled workers have
learned how to take care of themselves. They know how
to avoid accidents on the job. And why not.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
They've gone through one period of suffering and they certainly
don't want another another. Results, well, they observe your safety
rules to a tee. And what's more, you find they
furnish the enthusiasm and leadership or putting across your safety
programs with a bang.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Now do you think this is just theory. It's certainly not.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
It's improved time and time again by surveys conducted the nation.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Over those surveys showed without.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Exceptions, that handicapped workers have better safety records than able
bodied workers doing the same jobs. That's right, better safety records,
and somemitter, employer, hire the handicapped.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Do it now. The local office of your state Employment
service will be glad to help you.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
And now back to nine feet and Randy Stones.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
At twelve oh one, Johnny Leggett would die in the
electric chair at twelve oh one. According to his wife's schedule,
I join her husband and dead.
Speaker 1 (15:58):

You should be trying to help him.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I'm not gonna tell you again.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Was it good for you?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Always good to me? Ever asked Hi where he got
his money? He worked there better than work all kinds
of jobs. You've handled a gun before. We used to
go out to the Indiana Dans, join Johnny Target, practice
cheese at the week old, get up, go on, no tricks.
(17:14):

Speaker 1 (17:15):

(18:28):
that's looks like.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Is it hurt?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Nobody knows? Maybe they never see the things. Maybe there's
one good second woman. No no, no knows. They shave
their head y'all.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Can they do that to dummy?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Why don't we drop the subject. I want you to
live through the whole thing like pep.

part of not. In a million years, you never can tell.

of Harold Barneson two months ago, will die in the
electric chair on California Avenue.
Speaker 1 (22:29):

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I visited the condemned man who was sell today. They
tell me he wants everyone to know he did not
kill Harold Barneson. I am an innocent man.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
He said. He holds no grudge against a man who
did the killing.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
He'll be punished.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Blake said that I forgive him. Is that all did
heard to say?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Lagod asked me to take care of his wife, Pauline.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I haven't been a good husband to her. I wish
I'd told her about the I just hidn't a long
time ago. I woman gas men a confession another woman.
(23:27):
It's a lie to do lie Tanigen. Tanagen never lies, Pauline.
And he always said to me.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
There never is anybody that you, Pauline. He always said that.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You better make up your mind for it. If Tanagen's
a liar, woman that Johnny went with another woman, tanagens
telling the truth. If he didn't, Tanagen's a liar, he's
a liar. If he's a liar, Pauline, then he lied
about a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
He's a liar. Johnny wouldn't do that to me.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Give me the gun, stay.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Away, stay away from the gun. To come, hear me,
stay away.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Listen to me.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
I don't what just happened to me.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
The whole city knows about it. No, the city knows
all about the way he cheated on you.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
They're sorry for you, they're all saying, isn't it a
shame he.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Has to find out just before her husband dies in
the electric chair that he was cheating on her all
the time, just because.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Somebody paid it a lie.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
He loved me, Johnny loved me.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
You're right, he loved you very much.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
He couldn't do anything like that when he loved me
so much.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Sure, he loves you that much. And a man who
loves you that much. Couldn't do that too, You couldn't
have been seeing another woman. It's a dirty lie. Everything's
a light for me. Everything they said, they lied about
both of us. Give me that gun, you come with
me where you go. Wait a minute. They make me
(24:45):
so shame. He wasn't saying anymore.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
The truth and the lie, reality and the fame were
mud in her mind. Her eyes gleamed, the shame anger hey, all.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Melted into madness.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
She brought me out into the car of the curve,
and talking myself out of my own killing.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I tucked her into another.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Our destination, the home of Panagan's boss, George Tears. It
was eleven fifty five and his residence. He answered the door,
blinking into the darkness, his tiny eyes buried in sweet
puffy flesh, his both just wrapped in a silk dressing
gown and speed and carpet slioker.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
He was scratching himself.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
There us get inside. Hurry up, she's got a gun, George,
don't I looked.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
At him inside.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
He's right, I've got it balling listen inside business, lead,
jest paper, what's the trouble? Is not a woman? Just
for human interest? Might have said something. You look, why
don't we go into the library and have a drink?
(26:04):
You you look like you could use the drinks. He's
going to die to night. He's going to die, and
you all you care about it human interest? You write
things like that about him taking off like I wasn't
a good wife. Nobody ever loved anybody that he loved me.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
And it's appears nobody.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You know about tenigent true, there is no tag, and
everything that goes into that columny is yours. Mischief is
every dirty line of it your tig and I too.
Where's the liars?

time is it? Twelve o'clock? Confess till a legot died
(27:24):
in the chair last night and his wife will be
tried for murders. Her attorneys were meaning that he didn't
know right from wrong or true from fault. I wouldn't
be surprised if the thought went along with him.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
But by the same token, if you pass the test,
how good are you at telling him.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
The lies and the truth?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Does the truth vary according to your personal convenience? Black
one day, white the next, the next time you read anything,
ask yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I have the right to doubt. Am I using it?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Because it's two dangerous living in a world of missus
form people. There's a reason why the lie is the
Tyrant's favorite death weapon. It's killed more people since the
world Again and all the Armies and the autumobiles put together.
