- The Strange Death of Charles Umberstein (1943)

32 min - The White Rose Murders (1943)
He stood there waiting, he knew that presently they would come out of a second rate dance hall, out in to the dimly lit street. He listened a while and smiled as the orchestra played that tune inside. And then they came out the two girls and still he waited till he was close enough to hear what they were saying. In the narrow alley that divided the dance hall from an ugly office building he stood smiling and standing stiffly against the wall, his head back, eyes closed, arms straight down and in his left hand a white rose…

About Night Shift Radio Presents: SUSPENSE!
From the publisher's feed
This is a rebroadcast of the original Suspense! Radio Show. Suspense is a radio drama series broadcast on CBS Radio from 1940 through 1962. One of the premier drama programs of the Golden Age of Radio, was subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills" and focused on suspense thriller-type scripts, usually featuring leading Hollywood actors of the era. Approximately 945 episodes were broadcast during its long run, and more than 900 still exist.
Suspense went through several major phases, characterized by different hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Formula plot devices were followed for all but a handful of episodes: the protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end.
In its early years, the program made only occasional forays into science fiction and fantasy. Notable exceptions include adaptations of Curt Siodmak's Donovan's Brain and H. P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror", but by the late 1950s, such material was regularly featured. - via Wikipedia
