Crime on a Wednesday

First, a look at the events of the day.

Then, Nick Carter Master Detective starring Lon Clark, originally broadcast October 15, 1944, 81 years ago, The Slingshot Murders.    The lookout of a bank robbery shoots Nick.  A young friend spots where the shot came from. 

Followed by the Adventures of Philip Marlowe starring Gerald Mohr, originally broadcast October 15, 1949, 76 years ago, The Strangle Hold.  A wrestler has filed suit against a reporter for slander.  Not for his bad acting, but for murder!   But the referee didn’t do it!

Then, The Shadow starring William Johnstone, originally broadcast October 15, 1939, 86 years ago,  Village of Doom.   While on a picnic with Margot Lane, Lamont Cranston is unable to open a jar of olives! He says, "It's the toughest case I've ever had." The citizens of "Old Mill" are being killed by a strange disease. The cause? It's an "old hag" using her pet jackdaw as a flying killer!

Followed by The Whistler, originally broadcast October 15, 1945, 80 years ago, House on Sycamore Road.  $50,000 is found in an old clock, but there's that man with the scar!

Finally, Claudia, originally broadcast October 15, 1947, 78 years ago, Life with Major.  After nearly wrecking the apartment, the dog's former owner asks for him back.
