Nick washes up on the shore next to the Saint Ignatius Church at the base of the high falls. He’s alive, but injured and exhausted. Father Aldo Baldoni quietly takes him in to nurse him back to health, but the good father soon finds it’s hard to keep a secret in Rochester.

Joshua Rich is an upstanding citizen – a husband, a father, a farmer, a godly man.

Are in the public domain. Document Records (document-records.com) allowed me to use their recordings gratis provided the episode has some educational value – we think this episode would be a useful component of a college class discussing the parallels between the women’s liberation movement and prohibition, as well as offering insight (when taken with the other episodes) into the connections between poverty and bootlegging.
