Source Of Information

First on the scene, crime photographer. Got it? Look for it in the morning express. CBS Radio brings you crime photographer. Another adventure of Casey, ace cameraman of the morning express, who covers the crime news of a great city.

Written for radio by Alonzo Dean Cole and played by Stocks Cotsworth. Tonight's adventure, source of information. Early afternoon, the untidy photographer's room of the morning express. It empties now except for Casey, who stands at a window frowning at the threatening, wintry sky.

Then the door opens softly and an old man enters. His face is unshaven, his clothing unkempt. Casey? Uh... Oh. Hello, Grove. And lastly, Bay outside here. I'm glad you're alone here, boy. Look, bro, I simply can't make any more loans. I've lost track of what you got me for now, but there's at least a couple of hundred.

Oh, you got me wrong, Casey. I'm not here in search of financial assistance this morning. This afternoon? No, no, no. This time, unfortunately, my problems can't be solved by money. Casey, I've been robbed. robbed of my life's work, my magnum opus, the exposé that could rock this town with foundations, the candid memoirs of my forty years as a crime reporter.

Oh, you've been talking about that big exposé for a long time, Pop. Do you ever actually put any of it down on paper? It was almost completely finished, Casey. Well, good half of it was.

Honest boy, I'd written a lot. That is when my typewriter was at a hug. Now the script's been stolen. Yes, I went out last evening around 10 o'clock for, you know, couple of beers, ran into friends.
