The Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation brings you crime photographer.
[00:00:35] Unknown:
Hey, look at this, Casey. I found this sheet of paper with typewritin' all over it. What does it say? Well, it's funny. Just the same thing over and over. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Well Is that a code of some kind? No. That's what beginners write for practice. Oh, why don't they write something that makes sense? Like what?
[00:00:58] Unknown:
Like Anchor Hawking, the most famous name in glass. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Tony Marvin. Every week at this time, the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation of Lancaster, Ohio, and its more than 10,000 employees, bring you another adventure of Casey crime photographer. Ace cameraman who covers the crime news of the great city. Our adventure for tonight, murder in black and white. Morning. A wooded glen in a vast city park. And on the still frost, hardened ground, there lies a dead man. Detectives move methodically about the body. Beside it, Neil's a police surgeon.
Watching him is captain Logan of the homicide bureau, Anne Williams' reporter. And the man with the press camera is Casey.
[00:02:15] Unknown:
Aren't you almost finished, Casey? Yeah, Annie.
[00:02:18] Unknown:
Thanks for letting me take these shots at the deceased, Logan. I'll do you a favor someday. You can do me a favor right now, Casey. You too, miss Williams. Go back to your paper and let us cops get our work done. Hey, doc. You tell yet how long ago this guy died? About,
[00:02:33] Unknown:
02:00 this morning, captain. The bullet that killed him was fired at close range, still lodged in a skull. My guess is that it's a 32. This slug couldn't have been given to a more deserving guy. What do you mean, Casey? You know who this stiff is, don't you? Well, he has no identification on it. You should know him, though. He almost became middleweight champ a few years ago, fighting under the name of Tug Loftus.
[00:02:55] Unknown:
Say, you're right. I make him now.
[00:02:57] Unknown:
A moment ago, Annie, this slug told us to go peddle our paper.
[00:03:00] Unknown:
Nuts.
[00:03:02] Unknown:
Hey. This Tuggleoptus was a troublemaker, wasn't he? Always getting into jam. Yeah. He was an all around heel. Tuggleoptus' idea of a good time was to pick barroom fights with guys who didn't recognize him and then beat him to a pulp. Which means he had quite a few enemies.
[00:03:14] Unknown:
Yeah. That makes things just dandy. Well, that implies you haven't found any leads to the killer, captain. Out of one, miss Williams,
[00:03:21] Unknown:
except this book of matches. Book of matches? That was in his pocket. It's got an ad on it for the Briarwold Casino. Had only two matches torn out of it, which may indicate that the Briarwold was the last place he was in before he came here and was bumped off. Where's the Briarwold? It's a roadhouse out on Old Turnpike run by Jake Sowell and his cousin Lou, Annie. Who do quite a little bookmaking in connection with their cafe business. Yeah. That's right. You know, we we met the Salwins last year, Anne. Remember? We got a report that the safe in their joint had been robbed. Mhmm. Yeah. And they denied the report to the cops as well as to us. They said no one had touched their safe. Yeah. Lieutenant Schwartz of the robbery squad told me about that. He figured the two salewards denied the robbery because the safe had contained a lot of horse betters, though. They couldn't explain as cafe income. Yeah. The Briarwold Casino is just a kind of a joint tug of law office would patronize. Say, when are you going out there, Logan? Right away. There's nothing more I can do here. You're gonna have company, pal.
[00:04:16] Unknown:
Annie, let's go.
[00:04:29] Unknown:
Hey, Walter. Fix mister Snodgrass one of his specials. Do you know what the little piece of pineapple in it? Oh, Dear that guy. Tell me, Casey, what did you and miss Williams find out at the Briarwall
[00:04:43] Unknown:
Casino? Nothing, Edward. Nothing. Except that Tug Loftus was in the joint only a few hours before he was killed. Nobody there remembers him leaving with anyone who might have taken him to Lakesark
[00:04:54] Unknown:
Hyatt Park and then shot him. I wouldn't believe anything big Jake Selwyn said or his cousin Lou. And neither would captain Logan. He questioned everyone who works in the place. They all agreed Loftus left there alone? Yeah. They just don't remember. Well, had he picked any fights there before he left? Nobody had on other nights. Just that matchbook was the only clue. It don't sound like this murderer will be easy to solve.
[00:05:21] Unknown:
How about that bullet that killed the guy? Doesn't match up with any gun that ballistics has on record. Well, we better get back to the office, Casey. Yeah. City desk will be paging us if we don't. Uh-oh. That may be them now. I'll see.
[00:05:34] Unknown:
Blue Note Cafe. Ethelbert, the bartender speaking. Yeah. Casey's right here, gentlemen. I knew it. It ain't your city desk, Casey. It's one of the photographers in your department. That fellow Shapiro. Shapiro. Oh, yeah. Give me to you. Shapiro.
[00:05:47] Unknown:
Hello, chap. Who? No. I don't know any missus McCluskey. What? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember her now. A couple of years ago, she was a witness in a hit and run case. Yeah? Alright. Tell her to wait. I'll be right over. Thank you, chef. So long. What is it, Casey? Old gal I met on a hit and run killing says she has something hot for me. Oh, you mean a tip? Yeah. It's probably about something unimportant, but come on, Annie. We'll see.
[00:06:24] Unknown:
I've got evidence of a murder, mister Casey. A murder, missus McCluskey? In black and white. Oh, well, that sounds very interesting. Tell me what you got. First, mister Casey, what do I get? What? You you mean the Since I described that hit and run automobile to the cops a couple of years ago and got nothing for it, I found out that newspapers pay for what they call scoops. You was nice to me, mister Casey, so I'm giving you and your paper first chance.
[00:06:54] Unknown:
How much? Well, it all depends on what you have to offer.
[00:06:58] Unknown:
You interested in catching the murderer of that prizefighter, Tug Loftus?
[00:07:04] Unknown:
Tug Loftus?
[00:07:05] Unknown:
I got a picture of the killing, miss. What a picture? Casey. Is it worth $100
[00:07:12] Unknown:
to your paper? Well, I'll say well, City Desk sets the price for exclusive tips, missus McCluskey. But, I'll guarantee you a hundred bucks if you've got what you say you have.
[00:07:21] Unknown:
I've got it. Well, let's see. I get the hundred? You get the hundred if. Alright. This here envelope was in my mailbox this morning, so naturally I opened it. Later when I put my glasses on, I seen the address is mine, but the name ain't mine. It's addressed to
[00:07:39] Unknown:
mister Max Treaty. Treaty, one twenty one third Street.
[00:07:45] Unknown:
One twenty one third Street is where I live, but no Max Treaty lives there. Well, go on. Well, inside the envelope was just this here camera snapshot. Nothing else.
[00:07:58] Unknown:
Annie,
[00:07:59] Unknown:
look. Yeah. It's Loftus. As we saw him lying in that park. I knew that from the picture you had of him in yesterday's speech. Standing over Loftus is a guy with a gun in his hand. And he's just killed a fighter. That's the way it looks.
[00:08:10] Unknown:
That's a good profile shot of a killer, Anne. The face is clear even in the small print, and when I blow it up It's worth a hundred, ain't it, mister Casey? It's worth a hundred, missus McCluskey.
[00:08:21] Unknown:
I said I had evidence in black and white. Now who do you suppose took that picture, Casey, and why? Something we'll think about later.
[00:08:28] Unknown:
But I'll bet it was taken with an infrared flashbulb. A black light? Yep. The guy with the gun didn't see any flash. He didn't know that somebody was taking this picture. We've got to find this skinny, long nose guy with a gun. You know it? The cops will do that when we show them this. Sure. Yes. And probably crab are exclusive. Before the cops learn anything about this, Annie, we're going to try to find him. How? Well, the picture. The the guy this picture was addressed to ought to give us a hint. Well, Casey, he may be the killer. This picture may have been addressed to him as the first step in a a blackmail scheme. Now Annie, you're cooking on all burners. Let me see that envelope again. Yeah. Dressed to Max Treaty, one twenty one third Street. Miss Linda had the wrong address because missus McCluskey lives there. And I live alone. Well, I'll look in the phone book. Yeah. Do that. Do that. You you said you got this in the morning mail, missus McCluskey? That's right.
I wanted time to do some thinking. Yeah. About whether to put the b on us for that hundred dollars. You said yourself. It's worth it. Oh, I'm not reneging on that. I've heard a $1,000
[00:09:30] Unknown:
reward is being offered for murderers, but in order to get it, you had to capture them yourself. Yeah. That that makes a difference.
[00:09:37] Unknown:
So I figured Hey, Casey. Max Street. He is in the phone booth. Let me see it. Yeah. He lives on Third Street. Alright. See? But his address is given here as 727. Yeah.
[00:09:46] Unknown:
Yeah. It looks like 121 on this envelope because this guy write Sevens that look like ones. That's something else for us to think about later. Well, let's call on Max Tree. Right now, aunt. When do I get my hundred? There'll be a check-in the mail for you tomorrow morning, missus McCluskey, for 200. 2 hundred? Yep. And thanks and so long.
[00:10:04] Unknown:
$200. Granted, I bet I shoulda asked for more.
[00:10:25] Unknown:
Max Streety lives in a pretty good looking apartment house, Casey. Must be in the dough.
[00:10:30] Unknown:
Let's go in, Annie.
[00:10:31] Unknown:
Blast doors. Go on. It's It's a funny neighborhood. Only a few blocks away where missus McCluskey lives. There's nothing but tenements to little old one family houses. No. There's the elevator.
[00:10:41] Unknown:
The operator may be able to give us a line on this guy. We're looking for mister Max Treaty.
[00:10:48] Unknown:
He's, Top Floor, Apartment 12 F. Take us up. Will you, please? Okay. Because he, may not be in. I haven't seen him this evening. We'll take a chance.
[00:11:00] Unknown:
We're not sure this mister Treaty is the one we're looking for. Can you tell us what business he's in? I don't think he's in any business, mister. Oh, you mean he has an income and doesn't have to work? I, really don't know. I I'm not the kind who prize into the personal affairs of tenants. Oh, that's right. You don't look that type. How long has he lives here? Oh, about,
[00:11:22] Unknown:
eight or nine months. Took a sublease on a furnished apartment.
[00:11:27] Unknown:
Does that tell you if he's the man you're looking for? Not quite. No. Is he a skinny guy about, 35 with a long nose? That's mister Treaty. We can come to the right place then. Oh, here's the Top Floor.
[00:11:40] Unknown:
Apartment 12 F is the last door to your right. Thank you, pal. You're quite welcome. Casey, the man in that picture is skinny and has a long nose. Yeah. The elevator guy says that description fits treaty.
[00:11:52] Unknown:
Alright. Here's 12 F. I'll buzz the bell.
[00:11:55] Unknown:
If he's the killer, he'll be dangerous. What do we You have no reason to think we're onto it.
[00:12:00] Unknown:
Yeah. Nobody answers the bell. You already said he hadn't seen him this evening. I don't hear any sound from inside. I'll try the bell again. Casey. Look there under the door. Holy. It looks like blood. It is blood.
[00:12:15] Unknown:
Seeped through from the other side. I'm getting into that o'clock. Door's locked. This little strip of celluloid we burglars always carrying. You can slip it? I think so. This is only a spring latch. There. Alright. Come Casey, they're on the floor. I know. I see. Let me close this door. We don't want any visitors here. No.
[00:12:36] Unknown:
That's the man in that picture, Trudy.
[00:12:39] Unknown:
You've been beaten on the head. Is it? Been dead for a couple of hours, I think. Body's almost cold, and this pool of blood is dry around the edges. His clothes have been searched
[00:12:50] Unknown:
and the apartment. I'll see.
[00:12:53] Unknown:
He and this joint have been practically ripped apart. Oh, isn't this just swell? We came here hoping to crack one murder. Now we've got another. Yes. There's no black and white evidence to show who pulled this one.
[00:13:12] Unknown:
But I tell you, you can't say that. It's a secret. Secret or not, I'm going to tell it even if I get fired. But look. Look. Now look. Look. Some secrets are too good to keep and be safe. Hey. We're we're on the air now. Okay. Here goes. Friends, I've just had a sneak preview of the brand new Ivory Fire King oven glass. It's terrific. For the very first time in history, they've produced oven glass that's beautiful, rich, warm, ivory in color through and through. And it's even guaranteed against oven breakage for two long years. You've never seen such beautifully designed oven glass before. Classic lines, simple, dignified, as beautiful as any table China you could wish for, and rich, lovely, opaque ivory in color.
You've done it. The cat's out of the bag. Well, I'll, have to add that lovely new Ivory Fire King Oven Glass isn't on sale everywhere as yet, but it will be soon, and it's worth watching and waiting for. Well, haven't you something else to say? Oh, yes. Yes. Friends, beautiful new ivory Fire King oven glass is a product of Anchor Hocking, the most famous name in glass.
[00:14:37] Unknown:
We've got to call the cops, Keith. Take it easy. Take it easy. Have a look around first. You've already looked around. The murderer isn't hiding your way. No. He probably made his getaway right after he sucked this guy for the last time. Our friend, Treaty, took quite a beating before he was finally knocked off. How can you tell that? Look at the black and blue marks on him. Guy's gotta be alive to bruise. Marks around his wrists and ankles. It's been tied up quite a while. Yeah. I see. Apparently, the killer tried to make him tell where something was hidden.
He wouldn't or couldn't tell, so the killer searched him. And how he searched. All the stuffings been pulled out of the chairs, and the mattress has been ripped open. Treat his clothes. Got it going over too. Linings cut the soles of his show, shoes all split. Hey, this must be the stuff that was taken out of him and examined. Look at that wallet, fountain pen, cigarette case Oh, don't touch anything, Casey. Just don't I'm not touching anything. I'm only to look.
[00:15:32] Unknown:
It's a revolver. It looks like the gun in the picture. Yeah. Yeah, but this is a 38, Ann.
[00:15:39] Unknown:
Loftus was shot with a 32.
[00:15:41] Unknown:
Well, then, Treaty must have used another gun to kill it. Must have probably threw it in the lake afterward. Say. What have you picked up? Look at that. A book of matches from the Briarwold Casino. Like the one found on Tug Loftus? Yes.
[00:15:55] Unknown:
This was half hidden under the sofa. Well, that connects the two murders. Yeah, maybe. Maybe.
[00:16:00] Unknown:
Casey, we've got to get the cops here. Not just cops. We're getting Logan.
[00:16:04] Unknown:
I want him to get first break on what we know about that picture. Anne, the phone's in that bedroom. You go get him while I go down to the car and get my camera. I want to take some pictures of my own. Well, did you see that camera in the bookcase? Maybe you can save yourself a trip. No, there's no film in it. I looked. It was open and searched like everything else. Late Mr. Treat, he went in for photography, apparently. Had his kitchenette fixed up like a darkroom. Yeah. A lot of equipment there. Search erect, all of it.
[00:16:29] Unknown:
All right. Call Logan while I go for my camera. Wait a minute. Casey. What? Didn't he tell us he wouldn't be at headquarters till midnight? Yeah. Well, call him at his home. He has a new phone number. What is it? I'll write it down for you.
[00:16:40] Unknown:
That's where's my pencil? Take mine. Thanks. Oh, well, I'll be Oh, you've broken the point. I know it while I use this fountain pen at Treaty But you shouldn't touch him. This pen isn't gonna tell the cops who killed him, honey. Nice point. Right. It's easy. All right, here's Logan's number. Call him as soon as you finish the city desk. Yeah, I will.
[00:17:01] Unknown:
Casey,
[00:17:02] Unknown:
don't stick that pen in your pocket. Oh, I'll need it to make out my film sheets. Don't worry, I'm not stealing from dead guys. I'll be put back
[00:17:09] Unknown:
later. If you think of it, I'll go home. Anne. Anne. Yeah?
[00:17:13] Unknown:
Give Logan the lowdown about that picture and about everything else, except don't tell him about the matchbook we just found. Why not? Well, cops have no appreciation of the newspaper racket. We'll lose our exclusive. We'll go out to the Briarwold and follow it up by ourselves.
[00:17:38] Unknown:
My cousin Jake isn't here, K. C. Uh-huh. Expect him later, Luke? He's sure to be in sometime tonight. Alright. We'll stick around.
[00:17:46] Unknown:
Maybe you can give us some information. Information? About the tug lotus thing.
[00:17:52] Unknown:
Jake and I have already told the cops and you newspaper people all we know about that.
[00:17:58] Unknown:
Mhmm. Hey. Now the last time I was in this office, Lou, you and big Jake were telling the cops that that safe there hadn't been robbed. It hadn't been.
[00:18:07] Unknown:
We still don't know where they got that crazy report. Anyway, the tipster told the cops that he heard Big Jake squawking about the loss of $50. Their tip still lied. That safe's never had more than a couple of thousand in it. And that's a big take from a cafe business like ours. Yeah. From your cafe business.
[00:18:24] Unknown:
Lou, what would you know about a guy named Treaty?
[00:18:28] Unknown:
Treaty? Mhmm. Max Treaty.
[00:18:31] Unknown:
Why do you ask? We understand he's been a customer of yours.
[00:18:34] Unknown:
He was once a bartender here. A bartender? Why did he 10 bar here? Till about a year ago, Jake fired him. Jake. After I caught Treaty holding out in the cash register.
[00:18:45] Unknown:
Jake only fired him for that. You know, Jake,
[00:18:49] Unknown:
the guy left here minus a few teeth. Why are you curious about Treaty?
[00:18:56] Unknown:
He was murdered this afternoon.
[00:18:58] Unknown:
Murdered?
[00:19:02] Unknown:
Uh-huh. Was Treaty here the night Loftus was killed, Lou? I think he was. Had he ever had any run ins with Doug Loftus?
[00:19:11] Unknown:
Yes. About a month ago, Loftus slapped him around at the bar, and Treedy said he could even. That was just talk, of course. He knew he didn't stand a chance against that tough pug. We have reason to believe he made his chance,
[00:19:22] Unknown:
that he killed Loftus. You have? Yeah. We got a photograph showing him doing it. Casey. Alright. Can't be any secret about it, Annie. It'll be on page one of this morning's edition. That'll hit the streets in a couple of hours. Where did you get such a photograph, Casey? Oh, we just got it. You and Jake both use this desk, Lou? Yes. Somebody scribbled some figures on a scratch pad. Is that your work? Why do you ask? Oh, just curiosity. Can't make out whether some of the figures are meant to be ones or sevens.
[00:19:56] Unknown:
Jake makes his ones that way.
[00:19:58] Unknown:
Jake. How about his sevens? There are no sevens among those figures. Show me how Jake writes his sevens, Lou. Why? Your nervousness about these figures makes me wanna know. Here, take this pen and write. That pen. Yes. You recognize it. It's treaties. And this is a gun, Casey. I see it's a gun, Lou. Alright.
[00:20:17] Unknown:
A 32 snub nose revolver. I'm not so sure how much you two know, but I think it's too much. You've reminded me of a bet I missed. What did you find in that pen, Casey? I didn't look for anything in the pen. Well, maybe I missed a bet. Look now. Pull the cap off and see if there's anything inside. Okay.
[00:20:32] Unknown:
If there is some. What? I'd say it's a rolled up film, a negative. Take it out. Okay. Rolled up negative, alright? Never mind looking at it. Give it to me. Well, I wanna look Give it to me. You're the boss. Here. Thanks. Thanks to you for reaching for it. I'll take that get out of you, Salute. No. Let it go or I'll break your arm. Go. Thanks for the gun. Oh, Casey. Alright. Now I'll give the orders around here. Put your hands up, Lou. Keep them up and sit. Alright. Alright. What's that negative, Casey? It's a nice clear shot of Lou Solowin here taking dough out of an open safe. The safe in this office, that safe. Right, Lou? You're doing that talking. You took that doe, Lou, on the date it was reported stolen. Somebody caught you doing it with a camera from that window where the slat in the Venetian blind is missing. And that someone was Max Treaty. And Treaty moved into that expensive apartment soon after the robbery and didn't work anymore. Because Lou here was paying him to keep this evidence under cover.
Big Jake is the boss of your book making racket Lou. He owns it and you're just a hired man. The doe you stole was Jake's and if he'd found out that you're Okay, Casey, you figured it. Get me out of here now. Take me to the cops where I'll be safe. Jake finds out, he'll kill me. Yes. Like you killed treaty after your counter blackmail scheme had backfired. Counter blackmail scheme? Scheme. Don't you get it, Annie? No. I get it. Jake, drop that gun, Caser. I'll blow you to pieces before you could turn around.
[00:21:57] Unknown:
Drop it.
[00:21:59] Unknown:
Guy's at a slight disadvantage when his back is turned, Jake. Okay.
[00:22:04] Unknown:
Thanks. You, you're outside the door? Yeah. Listen. Jake, I swear. I said I'd been listening, Lou. I didn't say anything. Casey did the talking. They doped things out swell. You took that $50, you dirty louse. $50 of my dough. No, Jake. No. I'm gonna pay you off, Lou. Don't don't show up.
[00:22:23] Unknown:
Come on. He shot him. Sorry. I had to do it, miss. You've done a crazy thing, Jake. You go to the chair for this. I don't think so, Casey.
[00:22:30] Unknown:
The cops get here, they're gonna find you and this lady dead too. You're good. Sorry, sister, but that's the way it's gotta be. You and Casey will be shot with Lou's gun. My gun will be fine beside Casey. The cops have figured that Lou tried to make a getaway, that you shot it out. I'll call the cops myself stardom on that thing. It won't work, Jake. I'm betting it will. Betting's my business.
[00:22:55] Unknown:
Just pick up Lou's I cut it first take.
[00:23:01] Unknown:
Lou wasn't dead.
[00:23:02] Unknown:
He shot him. Lou. Lou.
[00:23:04] Unknown:
He's passed out of here. Alright. I'll get their guns before either one pulls a second recovery. Now Anne pick up that phone and call the cops while I watch these guys. Right. Right, Casey.
[00:23:16] Unknown:
So much I don't understand. Where does Treaty fit in now? Treaty didn't kill Loftus. Well, that that picture proves he did. The evidence is there in black and white. Black and white aren't true colors, kid. Not true? No. And pictures themselves can lie. I don't get hello?
[00:23:31] Unknown:
Headquarters, connect me with homicide. Wait. Wait. Casey, tell me. What do you mean? Well, I'll explain the whole works, Annie, after I take some pictures of Jake and Lou that'll be really on the level.
[00:23:48] Unknown:

[00:25:18] Unknown:
Lou Sowen did considerable talking before he died, Ethelbert.
[00:25:22] Unknown:
He's dead, Yeah. Both him and Jake.
[00:25:25] Unknown:

while Treaty was bartender at the Briarwall, he found out that Lou Solwyn was stealing from Jake, his boss. And then Lou caught Treaty cheating the cash register and told Jake. Who'd knocked out some of Treaty's bridge work, which made Treaty very sore at Lou for
[00:25:43] Unknown:
snitching. So we laid for him with a camera and got that picture of Lou robbing the safe for a really big haul. After that, Treaty sat pretty at Lou's expense.
[00:25:53] Unknown:
Lou got pretty desperate under the pressure, and finally, he hit on a bright idea he'd get Treaty in a worse spot than he was by killing Loftus. Lou killed Loftus? Right. He did. In Lakeside Park where Treaty was to meet Lou and collect more blackmail. Lou shot the pug and then hit himself with a camera and waited.

[00:27:05] Unknown:
He'd tell everything he knew about Lou. Lou's big scheme had backfired. He had to had to get the negative of the robbery picture. Treaty held over him. Treaty wouldn't tell him where he'd hidden him, even under the beating that Lou gave him. But you know the rest. And he was a bartender
[00:27:21] Unknown:
like me. Miss Williams, I I'm gonna report that guy to our local and have him throwed right out of our union.

He's dead, Applebursts.
