Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well Harlo, nineteen fifty two is a pretty good year.

They just don't come any better than complete electrical systems
designed and built by Auto Light for manufacturers of many
leading makes of our finest cars, trucks and tractors. All units,
including the generator's starting, motor, distributor and coil, spark, floods
and batteries are engineered to give the finest perform. Mormans
money can buy.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
My car Shuto Light equipped carlol.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Millions are half because Auto Light electrical systems have been
used as original equipment ever since nineteen eleven, when Auto
Light developed the first six volt two unit electrical system
for the industry. That means Auto Light electrical systems have
been starting lighting and providing electrical energy for car owners
for forty one years. That is your record, HAILO, Yes
(01:25):
so friends, insist on auto Light original service parts for
your auto light equipped car because only auto light original
service parts are related by auto light engineering design. To
fit and work as a team with your car's electrical system,
you'll find it pays because from bumper to tail light,
you're always right with auto Light. And Now Autolfe presents
(01:48):
transcribed Melody in Dreams starring mister John Lund, a dramatic
report based on fact. Hoping once again to keep you
in suspense. I, Lieutenant, where's Shank. He's in the other
(02:14):
office on the telephone.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Thanks, I mister Graff. Yes, sir, I have the address.
We'll try to get out there soon as we can
keep the girl there. Yes, sir, oh Hi Chris.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Might be the lead chance. There was a guy named
Graf Walter Graff. He lives out on South Tiburn. He
found a cash, a marijuana, cigarettes hitting an old coffee
can in his daughter's bedroom. How old is the girl?
All sixteen? She nearly went hysterical when the old man
confronted her with a can with a cigarette. Yeah, they
all do. This kid's thrown from vulsion. Old man must
(02:51):
be a funny character. Can you imagine made a scisions
arrest of his own daughter. For almost six months, the
Narcotics Division had been trying to find the leak, the
whole through which an estimated seventy thousand dollars worth of
drugs was being passed to high school kids monthly in
(03:13):
the forms of marijuana, opium, and heroin. Regular stakeouts, raids,
and arrests have been made. The number of teenage addicts
arrested was a staggering, frightening total. Arrests made yielded the addicts,
but they didn't yield the source of supply. In the meantime,
public sentiment and high official pressure vetted by the newspaper headlines,
(03:33):
was growing, while police department investigation was groping. Each and
every possible lead obtained had to be followed up. In
the case of Walter Graff, who'd made a citizens arrest
of his sixteen year old daughter after discovering marijuana cigarettes
hidden in a coffee can in her bedroom, another lead
was about to be followed up. This is the address, Chris, Yeah,
(04:00):
nice old house. Ring the bell. Now they don't build
them like this anymore. Maybe they don't take the time.
Eh Agnes goes for this kind of architect Yes, police.
Mister Graff, Oh, yes, yes, come in and I'm mister Graff. Thanks.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Here, let's go into the living room.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Please be seated.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
You'll have to excuse the appearance of the house, gentlemen.
Ever since missus Graft passed away, I haven't taken much
interest in such things as cleanliness.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I know it's wrong, we understand.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I presume you're here in response to my telephone call.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yes, sir, I'm Lieutenant Royals. This is Detective Sergeant Shank
Narcotics Detail. Yes.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Yes, I'm quite upset, as you can see the shock.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
You're only one parent among many. Mister graffs Oh, I.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Know, I know.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I read the newspapers too, They're full of it. Every
day you read about the horrible.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
When did you discover the coffee can with a cigarette mistograph?
This morning?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Early this morning? You see, I didn't go to work today.
I wasn't feeling very good, so I stayed home. It's
the first time I've ever been absent.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Why did you wait until this evening the report, the discovery?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Why did I wait until this evening?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Because I couldn't believe it. I simply couldn't believe it.
Go to understand Joan is my child. How is the
father supposed to believe such a terrible thing of his child?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
We understand.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I had to give Joanie a chance to deny it, Lieutenant.
I had to give her a chance to yell to
her papa that she knew nothing about the coffee can
and its simple contents?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Did she deny knowing about the can?
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Deny it?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
She didn't even try to defend herself. She admitted the kuilt.
But what hurt most of all was her her arrogance.
What are you going to do about it? She said
to me. HI didn't The only thing I thought was
right too.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I called the police. I'm sorry, mister g.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Don't be sorry, Lieutenant Ryles. It's a very funny story,
and the neighbors will thoroughly enjoy it ring around the rosie.
Old man Graft for arrested his daughter. She's a doping, fucking.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Full of poolsies. What made you suspect the cigarettes contain marijuana,
mister Graft? Suspect? How do I know?
Speaker 5 (06:27):
We're lots of things. Joan's moods strange moods, moods which
I can't describe to you because I don't know how
her friends friends, one in particular, Mickey Malone, no good,
no good, litt.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I say, where is the can with a cigarettes?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Mister Graff one moment, Yeah, Lieutenant Boyle, Yeah, the poison,
take it, burn it destroyers.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
The time was seven point thirty when Joan Graft was
booked in at police headquarters on a charge of a
legal possession of narcotics. The file sheet also listed the
name of the arresting citizen, Walter Graft, the girl's own father.
Joan was a plain featured girl, leech blonde hair, fair skin,
narrow hazel eyes, and a slim, slight frame. After Detective
(07:35):
Sergeant Shank had finished typing the police report, we took
the girl back to interrogation for further questioning. Go ahead, Joan,
sit down, Thank you tell me Joan? How old are you?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Sixteen?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Do you know why you're here?
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Yes, my father arrested me. That's why I'm here.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
You've broken a law, Joan, A very serious.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Does everyone get a sermon?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
This sermon? You've been charged with the legal possession of narcotics.
That's a very serious charge.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
I know. I also know I'm a miner.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yes you are, in which case you'll be turned over
to the juvenile authorities.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
What will they do to them?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
They can do a lot. They have the authority to
take you out of school, away from your friends, give
you the treatment you need. They can also send you
to a detention home if necessary.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
What kind of meals do they serve?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
They don't serve cigarettes like these and detention homes. Where'd
you get them?
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Nowhere?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
It didn't just happen out of thin air? Where'd you
get them?
Speaker 6 (08:40):
I don't know where I got Look.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Johan, you've broken a law, You've done something very wrong,
but it's not entirely your fault. You're not the real enemy.
The real enemy is the person who sold you these cigarettes,
and that's the enemy we want. Who was it?
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Please? I I don't remember where I got them.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Are you trying to shield somebody, Joan? Is that it?
Speaker 6 (09:02):
No, it's nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
All right, John, all right, you don't have to tell us.
I'm not going to force you to do something you
don't want to do. That'll be wrong. But there's something
I want to explain to you, and I want you
to try to understand it. It's about your father and
what he did My father when he arrested you. He
did the only thing he thought was right.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
I'm his daughter, his own flesh and blood.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yes, his own flesh and blood. That's right. And don't
you realize what it must have done to him Inside?
Speaker 6 (09:35):
I don't want to talk about him. Please.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I've got two children of my own, Joan, two small boys. Please,
if they were older and either one of them had
done something like this, I swear to you I do
the same thing that your father did. Okay, Lou, that's
all for now. Let's go, lieutenant.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Yes, Lieutenant, I'll tell you. I'll tell you where.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I got the cigarettes, all right, tell me.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
From Nicki, Nicki Malone, my boyfriend from high school.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Do you know where Nikki gets them?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
There's a coffee shop somewhere near our school. That's how
Nika gets the cigarettes.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
I think.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Haven't you ever been to this coffee shop with Niki?
Speaker 6 (10:21):
No, I don't even know where it is.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I see I put out a call on them alone, kid, No,
I don't think that's necessary. We'll go out to the
house and talk to him.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Lieutenant.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yes, Joan, I understand understand what.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
My father his herd inside, I have that same herd.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Joan Graff volunteered the address of her high school boyfriend,
Nicki Malone. Detective Sergeant Shank made arrangements for the girl
to be turned over to the juvenile authorities pending further investigation,
and then we went out to question Nicky Malone. The
address the girl had given us turned out to be
located in a run down section of the city. Seven
point sixty three was a white, single frame house badly
(11:14):
in need of repairs. The shades were drawn, but a
dim light inside indicated someone was at home. Wanta not
for sure? Yes, does Nicky Malone live here? Who wants
to know? Police officers? I'm Lieutenant Royals Sergeant Shank. Oh,

You saw me come out the door.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I want to take a look, lou Yeah, don't you
think you'd better tell me what this is all about? Lieutenant?
I am the boys guardian. Well, you suspect your nephew
of passing out marijuana cigarettes to students of this high school.
Marijuana cigarettes. There must be some mistake, Lieutenant, not Nicholas,
of course.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Not me.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
It doesn't want your girlfriend, Joan told us.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
I get it now. That kid gets caught with a
week and she tries to pass the buck to me.
Why if I ever get my hands on her?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Right, Nicholas, that's enough anything love clean is the whistle? Okay, Nikki?
Where is it? Where's what the cigarettes?
Speaker 6 (13:47):

Speaker 6 (13:53):
You found me clean, didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
You make me some trouble?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Isn't what your girlfriend Johan Graft told her. I don't
care what she told you.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Gotta have an to arrest me.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
All right, Nikki, that's all for now. Come on, lou
and we were right back where we started, up against
another frightened high school student who refused to divulge the
source of the supply of narcotics. We didn't have any
(14:24):
physical evidence on nickim Malone, but we didn't believe that
the young girl had been telling the truth, and therefore
decided to place him under surveillance. He was our closest
link to the source of the narcotic supply. For four days,
we followed us every move. At eight thirty every morning,
he left the house, walked six blocks to his high school,
left school at three twenty, and walked two blocks to
(14:46):
a coffee shop where he had a chocolate milkshake, and
then returned home. He didn't leave the house at any time.
During the evenings and the fifth day, the boy went
to the coffee shop, had his regular milkshake, and then
played the jukebox once again. When he left the coffee shop,
we followed him. He's heading in the opposite direction, Chris. Yeah,
(15:08):
this may be d Lou. He may be going to
pick up some stuff. He's turning the corner on the Madison.
Here we go. Who holds your breath? Yeah, a pretty
bright kid, Chris. Yeah. If we are right about him,
we've got nothing but trouble. He's disappeared. Auto Light, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Bringing you, mister John Lund in Melody in Dreams. Tonight's
presentation in Radio's outstanding theater of thrills.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Suspense.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Any New Year's resolutions hurinle Ah two mighty important ones
to help car owners everywhere have ooh how why by
reminding them that their car's electrical system works like a
beaver every second their engine runs, and it provides energy
for starting sounding a horn, lights, heater, radio, electric windshield
wiper and cigarette lighter. Auto Light makes complete electrical systems,
(16:23):
used its original equipment on many leading makes of our
finished cars, trucks and tractors.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Right, you are happ and That's why my second resolution
is to tell car owners to treat the important electrical
system of their car to a periodic checkup for top
performance at all time. Good advice, Halo right, So, friends,
have your car's electrical system checked by experts. Your nearest
authorized auto light service station has specialized equipment to service
(16:49):
all makes of cars. You can quickly locate him in
the classified section of your phone book under Automobile Electrical Service,
or call Western Union by number and ask for operation
twenty five. Remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always
right with auto light. And now auto light brings back
to our Hollywood soundstage, mister John Lund in Elliott Lewis's
(17:12):
production of Melody in Dreams a dramatic report, well calculated
to keep you in suspense.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Right out from under our noses. How is it possible?
Like I said, Chris bride boy must have known he
was being followed. Of course, he did lots of nerve
the law on his tail, and he still does business. Yeah. Well,
he's got to go home sometime. That's right, lou He's
gonna go home sometime, and that's where he's gonna find us.
(17:53):
We got back in the police car and drove over
to the Malone house parked across the street and waited.
It was beginning to get the shades were still drawn.
I wondered if anybody ever bothered to raise him. Time
passes slowly when you're waiting cigarette, Chris. Now, my mouth
feels like an oven. Now somebody's home probably is polite uncle,
(18:18):
funny guy. Wonder what he does for a living. Oh,
I saw a lot of music sheets laying around, probably
in the business. Hey, why I thought I saw something
moving in the driveway. Shadow might be the kid. Let's
go it is somebody get your flash ready? Okay, hold up? Hey,
(18:44):
all right, kids, standstill, don't move? What is his? Cops again? Yeah? Nikki?
Cops again?
Speaker 8 (18:50):
I thought I shook you guys once.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Why did you shake his? Nikki?
Speaker 8 (18:53):
Because because I don't like being followed?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
That's your story. Son. Where have you been?
Speaker 8 (18:58):
I haven't been anywhere.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Where'd you go after you lost us?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I went for a walk in the park.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
What did you do? Pick up the stuff? What? Stuff?
All right? Lou? How old are I shake him?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
What is this?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
So? Haven't I got some rights? You don't get John?
Easy son? Easy, bhie? What's this? NICKI? And your coat pocket.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Nothing you need nothing, give me it.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Open it up, Lo, Chris, that's an awful lot of nothing, Nicky.
Six packs of marijuana cigarettes. We booked the boy down
(19:42):
at police headquarters on a charge of legal possession of narcotics,
and then we interrogated him. Although he realized the seriousness
of the charges, he still refused to tell us where
he obtained the cigarettes. His guardian uncle was notified and
came down to see the boy. He seemed quite concerned.
On their conversation, the uncle pleaded with the boy to
(20:03):
tell us all he knew about the narcotics, but uncle's
please went unheard. A few days later, I decided to
bring Nicki Malone and Joan Graft together face to face.
I didn't know what I hoped to learn, Maybe nothing,
(20:24):
maybe something. In a moment of temper, on the morning
of December twenty first, the young boy and girl were
brought to my office. Sit right over there, Nikki Ranks. Well,
wouldn't you like to say hello to Joan?
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Hello, Nikki, know any more good stories policemen?
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Nikki, I'm so scared, scared of what this whole thing.
It's so terrible.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
She's right NICKI, something like this can ruin your whole life.
Don't you realize that? I'll stop with us, will Your
uncle seems like a pretty nice guy, Nikki. How did
you turn out to be such a bad apple?
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Is that part of your job policeman telling people what
they are?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
No, No, it's not, NICKI. I'm sorry I said that
because basically, I think you're a good boy. I think
you're intelligent enough to know what's right and what's wrong,
and you know this is wrong. I don't have to
reason with you. The thing that really puzzles me is
why an intelligent young boy like you refuses to write
(21:34):
this wrong. You made a mistake. We all make mistakes.
Mistakes are forgivable, Nikki.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Nikki, the lieutenant is right.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
What do you know?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Anyway? Loud mouth?
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Couldn't keep your mouth yet, could you? You had to
tell him.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
I hurt my father, Nikki. I heard him very much.
I had to tell the police.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
All I knew, big blabbermouth. We'll find yourself another boyfriend's sister.
See if he'll get your stick?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Another stick? Nikki? I mean, yeah, I know what you mean.
Another stick of this? Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Why can't you leave me alone?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Give me a trial, send me up. I don't care
what you do. Trial jail, No, son, they're not the answer,
not really. I'm trying to make you understand that you've
got a long life ahead of you. It'll be a
shame to ruin it. Now our last chance. Then stake
(22:37):
out the coffee shop for four days. Detective Shank and
myself kept it under surveillance. The evening of December twenty ninth,
I walked into the coffee shop to relieve Detective Shank.
It was ten minutes to seven. Hello, Hi, Chris, don't
look so sour. Go home and get some sleep. You're
gonna sit it out, Yeah, a couple hours. Maybe I'll
(23:00):
sit around ready for a while. How about a cup
of coffee? Yeah, I'm up to here. No thanks, anything, nothing,
Just stares from the guy who owns his place. He
keeps leering. You want me to stick around? Go play
a record on the jukebox. Here, here's a dying the jukebox. Yeah,
play something, let's make it festive around here. The afternoon,
Nicky got away from us. He broke his pattern. He
(23:24):
did something different, something he never done before. He played
the jukebox. That's right, he played the jukebox. Really may
be sure here broken? Oh oh thanks, Now, I'll stay
(23:56):
with you for a while, might even have a cup
of coffee. I was right about Nicky's uncle being in
the business. This is his record. He wrote the tune,
he's playing it. Whoa, what do you know? The guy's
a celebrity. So that's what he did, Lou. The night
we picked up the Malone kid, we thought he was
coming home with this stuff, right, Yeah, we couldn't see
(24:19):
it was too dark. But what if it was the
other way around? What if the kid was leaving instead
of just arriving. Yeah, yeah, we've come in here for
four days straight. That record wasn't on the machine the
day that the kid disappeared. He played the machine. Come on,
let's talk to the guy at the county. You the owner, mister, Yeah, yeah,
(24:44):
I'm the owner. Police officers. Well hey, now, don't get excited.
I just want to ask you a few questions. Well, shure, sure, officers. Anything.
There's a new record on that machine by a Freddie Malone.
Oh yeah, him, I know him, nice guy, nice guy. Yeah.
Every week he comes in, slips me a t slip
your ten. Yeah, put these record on the Machine says,
even if it does cost him.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Go, he wants to push it.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
It's a nice tune, man, Melody and Dreams. Back at
the headquarters, we learned the whereabouts of Uncle Freddy Malone.
He was playing piano in a small nightclub on Halstead.
The place was crowded with people when we got there.
(25:26):
In a corner off to the right was a platform,
and on the platform at the piano sat Freddy Malone.
I think there'll be any trouble, Chris, I doubted Lowie.
He's not the type. Hello, mister Malone, Hello police officers,
if you have a request. Yeah, Melody and Dreams one
(25:49):
of my favorites. That's no surprise. It was wrong, real wrong,
A lot of poor innocent kids, mister Malone, real wrong,
four innocent kids. We still don't know how the record
figured in. That was how Nicky notified the other kids.
He was ready to pass the stuff. And the night
(26:09):
we caught him, he was leaving the house. He was
on his way out to make delivery. Poor kid. Try
to protect me. Yeah, someday I'll do something for him. Maybe,
shall we go? The manager won't like it. If I
(26:29):
don't stick around, it's going to be a big night.
Can't stick around, not tonight, mister Malone. Let's go.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well Harlo, nineteen fifty two is a pretty good year.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Pretty good? Why hap?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
They just don't come any better than complete electrical systems
designed and built by Auto Light for manufacturers of many
leading makes of our finest cars, trucks and tractors. All units,
including the generator's starting, motor, distributor and coil, spark, floods
and batteries are engineered to give the finest perform. Mormans
money can buy.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
My car Shuto Light equipped carlol.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Millions are half because Auto Light electrical systems have been
used as original equipment ever since nineteen eleven, when Auto
Light developed the first six volt two unit electrical system
for the industry. That means Auto Light electrical systems have
been starting lighting and providing electrical energy for car owners
for forty one years. That is your record, HAILO, Yes
(01:25):
so friends, insist on auto Light original service parts for
your auto light equipped car because only auto light original
service parts are related by auto light engineering design. To
fit and work as a team with your car's electrical system,
you'll find it pays because from bumper to tail light,
you're always right with auto Light. And Now Autolfe presents
(01:48):
transcribed Melody in Dreams starring mister John Lund, a dramatic
report based on fact. Hoping once again to keep you
in suspense. I, Lieutenant, where's Shank. He's in the other
(02:14):
office on the telephone.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Thanks, I mister Graff. Yes, sir, I have the address.
We'll try to get out there soon as we can
keep the girl there. Yes, sir, oh Hi Chris.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Might be the lead chance. There was a guy named
Graf Walter Graff. He lives out on South Tiburn. He
found a cash, a marijuana, cigarettes hitting an old coffee
can in his daughter's bedroom. How old is the girl?
All sixteen? She nearly went hysterical when the old man
confronted her with a can with a cigarette. Yeah, they
all do. This kid's thrown from vulsion. Old man must
(02:51):
be a funny character. Can you imagine made a scisions
arrest of his own daughter. For almost six months, the
Narcotics Division had been trying to find the leak, the
whole through which an estimated seventy thousand dollars worth of
drugs was being passed to high school kids monthly in
(03:13):
the forms of marijuana, opium, and heroin. Regular stakeouts, raids,
and arrests have been made. The number of teenage addicts
arrested was a staggering, frightening total. Arrests made yielded the addicts,
but they didn't yield the source of supply. In the meantime,
public sentiment and high official pressure vetted by the newspaper headlines,
(03:33):
was growing, while police department investigation was groping. Each and
every possible lead obtained had to be followed up. In
the case of Walter Graff, who'd made a citizens arrest
of his sixteen year old daughter after discovering marijuana cigarettes
hidden in a coffee can in her bedroom, another lead
was about to be followed up. This is the address, Chris, Yeah,
(04:00):
nice old house. Ring the bell. Now they don't build
them like this anymore. Maybe they don't take the time.
Eh Agnes goes for this kind of architect Yes, police.
Mister Graff, Oh, yes, yes, come in and I'm mister Graff. Thanks.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Here, let's go into the living room.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Please be seated.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
You'll have to excuse the appearance of the house, gentlemen.
Ever since missus Graft passed away, I haven't taken much
interest in such things as cleanliness.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I know it's wrong, we understand.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I presume you're here in response to my telephone call.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yes, sir, I'm Lieutenant Royals. This is Detective Sergeant Shank
Narcotics Detail. Yes.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Yes, I'm quite upset, as you can see the shock.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
You're only one parent among many. Mister graffs Oh, I.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Know, I know.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I read the newspapers too, They're full of it. Every
day you read about the horrible.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
When did you discover the coffee can with a cigarette mistograph?
This morning?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Early this morning? You see, I didn't go to work today.
I wasn't feeling very good, so I stayed home. It's
the first time I've ever been absent.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Why did you wait until this evening the report, the discovery?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Why did I wait until this evening?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Because I couldn't believe it. I simply couldn't believe it.
Go to understand Joan is my child. How is the
father supposed to believe such a terrible thing of his child?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
We understand.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I had to give Joanie a chance to deny it, Lieutenant.
I had to give her a chance to yell to
her papa that she knew nothing about the coffee can
and its simple contents?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Did she deny knowing about the can?
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Deny it?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
She didn't even try to defend herself. She admitted the kuilt.
But what hurt most of all was her her arrogance.
What are you going to do about it? She said
to me. HI didn't The only thing I thought was
right too.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I called the police. I'm sorry, mister g.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Don't be sorry, Lieutenant Ryles. It's a very funny story,
and the neighbors will thoroughly enjoy it ring around the rosie.
Old man Graft for arrested his daughter. She's a doping, fucking.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Full of poolsies. What made you suspect the cigarettes contain marijuana,
mister Graft? Suspect? How do I know?
Speaker 5 (06:27):
We're lots of things. Joan's moods strange moods, moods which
I can't describe to you because I don't know how
her friends friends, one in particular, Mickey Malone, no good,
no good, litt.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I say, where is the can with a cigarettes?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Mister Graff one moment, Yeah, Lieutenant Boyle, Yeah, the poison,
take it, burn it destroyers.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
The time was seven point thirty when Joan Graft was
booked in at police headquarters on a charge of a
legal possession of narcotics. The file sheet also listed the
name of the arresting citizen, Walter Graft, the girl's own father.
Joan was a plain featured girl, leech blonde hair, fair skin,
narrow hazel eyes, and a slim, slight frame. After Detective
(07:35):
Sergeant Shank had finished typing the police report, we took
the girl back to interrogation for further questioning. Go ahead, Joan,
sit down, Thank you tell me Joan? How old are you?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Sixteen?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Do you know why you're here?
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Yes, my father arrested me. That's why I'm here.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
You've broken a law, Joan, A very serious.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Does everyone get a sermon?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
This sermon? You've been charged with the legal possession of narcotics.
That's a very serious charge.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
I know. I also know I'm a miner.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yes you are, in which case you'll be turned over
to the juvenile authorities.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
What will they do to them?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
They can do a lot. They have the authority to
take you out of school, away from your friends, give
you the treatment you need. They can also send you
to a detention home if necessary.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
What kind of meals do they serve?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
They don't serve cigarettes like these and detention homes. Where'd
you get them?
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Nowhere?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
It didn't just happen out of thin air? Where'd you
get them?
Speaker 6 (08:40):
I don't know where I got Look.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Johan, you've broken a law, You've done something very wrong,
but it's not entirely your fault. You're not the real enemy.
The real enemy is the person who sold you these cigarettes,
and that's the enemy we want. Who was it?
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Please? I I don't remember where I got them.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Are you trying to shield somebody, Joan? Is that it?
Speaker 6 (09:02):
No, it's nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
All right, John, all right, you don't have to tell us.
I'm not going to force you to do something you
don't want to do. That'll be wrong. But there's something
I want to explain to you, and I want you
to try to understand it. It's about your father and
what he did My father when he arrested you. He
did the only thing he thought was right.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
I'm his daughter, his own flesh and blood.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yes, his own flesh and blood. That's right. And don't
you realize what it must have done to him Inside?
Speaker 6 (09:35):
I don't want to talk about him. Please.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I've got two children of my own, Joan, two small boys. Please,
if they were older and either one of them had
done something like this, I swear to you I do
the same thing that your father did. Okay, Lou, that's
all for now. Let's go, lieutenant.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Yes, Lieutenant, I'll tell you. I'll tell you where.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I got the cigarettes, all right, tell me.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
From Nicki, Nicki Malone, my boyfriend from high school.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Do you know where Nikki gets them?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
There's a coffee shop somewhere near our school. That's how
Nika gets the cigarettes.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
I think.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Haven't you ever been to this coffee shop with Niki?
Speaker 6 (10:21):
No, I don't even know where it is.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I see I put out a call on them alone, kid, No,
I don't think that's necessary. We'll go out to the
house and talk to him.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Lieutenant.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yes, Joan, I understand understand what.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
My father his herd inside, I have that same herd.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Joan Graff volunteered the address of her high school boyfriend,
Nicki Malone. Detective Sergeant Shank made arrangements for the girl
to be turned over to the juvenile authorities pending further investigation,
and then we went out to question Nicky Malone. The
address the girl had given us turned out to be
located in a run down section of the city. Seven
point sixty three was a white, single frame house badly
(11:14):
in need of repairs. The shades were drawn, but a
dim light inside indicated someone was at home. Wanta not
for sure? Yes, does Nicky Malone live here? Who wants
to know? Police officers? I'm Lieutenant Royals Sergeant Shank. Oh,
(11:39):
what's the boy done? We'd like to ask him some questions?
He at home? Yeah, yeah, yes, he's getting ready to
go out. Come in, officers. What is it you wanted,
Nicholas for? We'd like to talk to him. Sure, how

that's right, policeman.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
What do you want to talk to me about it's.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
About your sideline at high school.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
Teach me what kind of a sideline you guys talking
about narcotics? You guys must be crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
You know what we're talking about? I do, Nicholas. Maybe
these guys aren't shake him down lot, Hey, what is
this routine? Nikki on empty your pockets? I said, empty
your pockets? Come on, come on, Yeah, that's what.

I got in my pockets, A jack knife, a handkerchief
and chain as a billfo go on.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Bite the quarter, maybe you'll get a kick.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
You're pretty funny, son. Where's your room?
Speaker 8 (13:06):
You saw me come out the door.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I want to take a look, lou Yeah, don't you
think you'd better tell me what this is all about? Lieutenant?
I am the boys guardian. Well, you suspect your nephew
of passing out marijuana cigarettes to students of this high school.
Marijuana cigarettes. There must be some mistake, Lieutenant, not Nicholas,
of course.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Not me.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
It doesn't want your girlfriend, Joan told us.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
I get it now. That kid gets caught with a
week and she tries to pass the buck to me.
Why if I ever get my hands on her?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Right, Nicholas, that's enough anything love clean is the whistle? Okay, Nikki?
Where is it? Where's what the cigarettes?
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Look?
Speaker 8 (13:48):
I told you once, I'll tell you again. I don't
know what you're talking about. I don't have no marijuana cigarettes.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
You found me clean, didn't.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
You make me some trouble?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Isn't what your girlfriend Johan Graft told her. I don't
care what she told you.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Gotta have an to arrest me.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
All right, Nikki, that's all for now. Come on, lou
and we were right back where we started, up against
another frightened high school student who refused to divulge the
source of the supply of narcotics. We didn't have any
(14:24):
physical evidence on nickim Malone, but we didn't believe that
the young girl had been telling the truth, and therefore
decided to place him under surveillance. He was our closest
link to the source of the narcotic supply. For four days,
we followed us every move. At eight thirty every morning,
he left the house, walked six blocks to his high school,
left school at three twenty, and walked two blocks to
(14:46):
a coffee shop where he had a chocolate milkshake, and
then returned home. He didn't leave the house at any time.
During the evenings and the fifth day, the boy went
to the coffee shop, had his regular milkshake, and then
played the jukebox once again. When he left the coffee shop,
we followed him. He's heading in the opposite direction, Chris. Yeah,
(15:08):
this may be d Lou. He may be going to
pick up some stuff. He's turning the corner on the Madison.
Here we go. Who holds your breath? Yeah, a pretty
bright kid, Chris. Yeah. If we are right about him,
we've got nothing but trouble. He's disappeared. Auto Light, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Bringing you, mister John Lund in Melody in Dreams. Tonight's
presentation in Radio's outstanding theater of thrills.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Suspense.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Any New Year's resolutions hurinle Ah two mighty important ones
to help car owners everywhere have ooh how why by
reminding them that their car's electrical system works like a
beaver every second their engine runs, and it provides energy
for starting sounding a horn, lights, heater, radio, electric windshield
wiper and cigarette lighter. Auto Light makes complete electrical systems,
(16:23):
used its original equipment on many leading makes of our
finished cars, trucks and tractors.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Right, you are happ and That's why my second resolution
is to tell car owners to treat the important electrical
system of their car to a periodic checkup for top
performance at all time. Good advice, Halo right, So, friends,
have your car's electrical system checked by experts. Your nearest
authorized auto light service station has specialized equipment to service
(16:49):
all makes of cars. You can quickly locate him in
the classified section of your phone book under Automobile Electrical Service,
or call Western Union by number and ask for operation
twenty five. Remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always
right with auto light. And now auto light brings back
to our Hollywood soundstage, mister John Lund in Elliott Lewis's
(17:12):
production of Melody in Dreams a dramatic report, well calculated
to keep you in suspense.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Right out from under our noses. How is it possible?
Like I said, Chris bride boy must have known he
was being followed. Of course, he did lots of nerve
the law on his tail, and he still does business. Yeah. Well,
he's got to go home sometime. That's right, lou He's
gonna go home sometime, and that's where he's gonna find us.
(17:53):
We got back in the police car and drove over
to the Malone house parked across the street and waited.
It was beginning to get the shades were still drawn.
I wondered if anybody ever bothered to raise him. Time
passes slowly when you're waiting cigarette, Chris. Now, my mouth
feels like an oven. Now somebody's home probably is polite uncle,
(18:18):
funny guy. Wonder what he does for a living. Oh,
I saw a lot of music sheets laying around, probably
in the business. Hey, why I thought I saw something
moving in the driveway. Shadow might be the kid. Let's
go it is somebody get your flash ready? Okay, hold up? Hey,
(18:44):
all right, kids, standstill, don't move? What is his? Cops again? Yeah? Nikki?
Cops again?
Speaker 8 (18:50):
I thought I shook you guys once.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Why did you shake his? Nikki?
Speaker 8 (18:53):
Because because I don't like being followed?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
That's your story. Son. Where have you been?
Speaker 8 (18:58):
I haven't been anywhere.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Where'd you go after you lost us?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I went for a walk in the park.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
What did you do? Pick up the stuff? What? Stuff?
All right? Lou? How old are I shake him?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
What is this?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
So? Haven't I got some rights? You don't get John?
Easy son? Easy, bhie? What's this? NICKI? And your coat pocket.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Nothing you need nothing, give me it.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Open it up, Lo, Chris, that's an awful lot of nothing, Nicky.
Six packs of marijuana cigarettes. We booked the boy down
(19:42):
at police headquarters on a charge of legal possession of narcotics,
and then we interrogated him. Although he realized the seriousness
of the charges, he still refused to tell us where
he obtained the cigarettes. His guardian uncle was notified and
came down to see the boy. He seemed quite concerned.
On their conversation, the uncle pleaded with the boy to
(20:03):
tell us all he knew about the narcotics, but uncle's
please went unheard. A few days later, I decided to
bring Nicki Malone and Joan Graft together face to face.
I didn't know what I hoped to learn, Maybe nothing,
(20:24):
maybe something. In a moment of temper, on the morning
of December twenty first, the young boy and girl were
brought to my office. Sit right over there, Nikki Ranks. Well,
wouldn't you like to say hello to Joan?
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Hello, Nikki, know any more good stories policemen?
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Nikki, I'm so scared, scared of what this whole thing.
It's so terrible.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
She's right NICKI, something like this can ruin your whole life.
Don't you realize that? I'll stop with us, will Your
uncle seems like a pretty nice guy, Nikki. How did
you turn out to be such a bad apple?
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Is that part of your job policeman telling people what
they are?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
No, No, it's not, NICKI. I'm sorry I said that
because basically, I think you're a good boy. I think
you're intelligent enough to know what's right and what's wrong,
and you know this is wrong. I don't have to
reason with you. The thing that really puzzles me is
why an intelligent young boy like you refuses to write
(21:34):
this wrong. You made a mistake. We all make mistakes.
Mistakes are forgivable, Nikki.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Nikki, the lieutenant is right.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
What do you know?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Anyway? Loud mouth?
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Couldn't keep your mouth yet, could you? You had to
tell him.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
I hurt my father, Nikki. I heard him very much.
I had to tell the police.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
All I knew, big blabbermouth. We'll find yourself another boyfriend's sister.
See if he'll get your stick?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Another stick? Nikki? I mean, yeah, I know what you mean.
Another stick of this? Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Why can't you leave me alone?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Give me a trial, send me up. I don't care
what you do. Trial jail, No, son, they're not the answer,
not really. I'm trying to make you understand that you've
got a long life ahead of you. It'll be a
shame to ruin it. Now our last chance. Then stake
(22:37):
out the coffee shop for four days. Detective Shank and
myself kept it under surveillance. The evening of December twenty ninth,
I walked into the coffee shop to relieve Detective Shank.
It was ten minutes to seven. Hello, Hi, Chris, don't
look so sour. Go home and get some sleep. You're
gonna sit it out, Yeah, a couple hours. Maybe I'll
(23:00):
sit around ready for a while. How about a cup
of coffee? Yeah, I'm up to here. No thanks, anything, nothing,
Just stares from the guy who owns his place. He
keeps leering. You want me to stick around? Go play
a record on the jukebox. Here, here's a dying the jukebox. Yeah,
play something, let's make it festive around here. The afternoon,
Nicky got away from us. He broke his pattern. He
(23:24):
did something different, something he never done before. He played
the jukebox. That's right, he played the jukebox. Really may
be sure here broken? Oh oh thanks, Now, I'll stay
(23:56):
with you for a while, might even have a cup
of coffee. I was right about Nicky's uncle being in
the business. This is his record. He wrote the tune,
he's playing it. Whoa, what do you know? The guy's
a celebrity. So that's what he did, Lou. The night
we picked up the Malone kid, we thought he was
coming home with this stuff, right, Yeah, we couldn't see
(24:19):
it was too dark. But what if it was the
other way around? What if the kid was leaving instead
of just arriving. Yeah, yeah, we've come in here for
four days straight. That record wasn't on the machine the
day that the kid disappeared. He played the machine. Come on,
let's talk to the guy at the county. You the owner, mister, Yeah, yeah,
(24:44):
I'm the owner. Police officers. Well hey, now, don't get excited.
I just want to ask you a few questions. Well, shure, sure, officers. Anything.
There's a new record on that machine by a Freddie Malone.
Oh yeah, him, I know him, nice guy, nice guy. Yeah.
Every week he comes in, slips me a t slip
your ten. Yeah, put these record on the Machine says,
even if it does cost him.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Go, he wants to push it.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
It's a nice tune, man, Melody and Dreams. Back at
the headquarters, we learned the whereabouts of Uncle Freddy Malone.
He was playing piano in a small nightclub on Halstead.
The place was crowded with people when we got there.
(25:26):
In a corner off to the right was a platform,
and on the platform at the piano sat Freddy Malone.
I think there'll be any trouble, Chris, I doubted Lowie.
He's not the type. Hello, mister Malone, Hello police officers,
if you have a request. Yeah, Melody and Dreams one
(25:49):
of my favorites. That's no surprise. It was wrong, real wrong,
A lot of poor innocent kids, mister Malone, real wrong,
four innocent kids. We still don't know how the record
figured in. That was how Nicky notified the other kids.
He was ready to pass the stuff. And the night
(26:09):
we caught him, he was leaving the house. He was
on his way out to make delivery. Poor kid. Try
to protect me. Yeah, someday I'll do something for him. Maybe,
shall we go? The manager won't like it. If I
(26:29):
don't stick around, it's going to be a big night.
Can't stick around, not tonight, mister Malone. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
