Publisher's Summary:

Mr. District Attorney came to radio in 1939 and focused on a crusading DA named Paul Garrett. Created, written, and directed by former law student Ed Byron, the series was inspired by the early years of New York governor Thomas E. Dewey. It was Dewey's public war against racketeering that led to his election as governor and enabled him to run for the presidency of the United States.

Phillips H. Lord, the creator of Gang Busters, helped Byron develop the concept and coined the title. Dwight Weist was radio's first Mr. District Attorney. With the help of his sidekick, Len Harrington, and his secretary, Edith Miller, Mr. District Attorney proved each week to be "champion of the people - guardian of our fundamental rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!"

Near the end of its radio run in the early 1950s, the series made a transition to television, with the current radio cast reprising their roles.

Episodes included are: "The Fifteen-Year-Old on Trial", "The Joy Ride Murder", "The Murderous Hitchhiker", "The Staircase Killer", "The Charity Killer", "The Hit and Run Killer", "The Desert Killer", "The Missing Corpse", "The Bank Killer", "Knifing in the Park", "Hungry Hobo", and "Phony Confessions".

Title: Strange Wills, Volume 1

Author: Teleways Radio Productions

Narrator: Warren William

Format: Original Recording

Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-09-16

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery

Publisher's Summary:

Normally, a last will and testament is a serious, cut-and-dry, black-and-white document. Not so in the case of Strange Wills, Volume 1. So begins the radio show Strange Wills, a mystery-adventure series produced and syndicated by Teleways Radio Productions of Hollywood beginning in 1946.

It starred distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William as probate attorney Warren Francis O'Connell, and the stories were told through his eyes as executor of the strange wills made by strange people. These cases, built around unusual bequests or searches for missing heirs, were based on the seven deadly sins and complied by attorney Ken Krippene over a 10-year period, changing the names for broadcast.

Produced by Robert Webster Light, the show also starred actors Carlton Young and Howard Culver and featured the music of Del Castillio.
