The Ohio Kid

A Harrington, what time is it? It's just 10 o'clock, sir. You're due in the Grand Jury meeting. As I go in in just a minute. But, uh, close our door, please. Radio friends, this is your district attorney speaking.

A group of racketeers has moved into the city and taken over the restaurant racket. We've been gathering information on them. But every restaurant owner has been so terrified he's been afraid to testify. But now we've got to start.

One restaurant owner, Mr. Tony, was broken by the racket and sent to prison by them to keep them from talking. But we finally heard of Tony's plight, and went to the prison, and got him out.

Now he's anxious to help us smash these racketeers. If you'll excuse me, I've got to go into the grand jury, which is meeting in the room right next to my office here. The grand juries compose of 23 outstanding citizens who meet behind closed doors and hear testimony and decide whether that testimony warrants

their issuing an indictment for the arrest of the suspect. What goes on inside the grand jury is strictly private. If I do want you to hear this one, excuse me when I go in. Well, I...

Seems, seems... Good evening, gentlemen. Good evening, eh? Mr. District Attorney, we've just been going over this information you've gathered about the restaurant racketeers. You say here that Mr. Tony is willing to work closely with you.

Mr. Tony will tell me everything he knows. Well, do you consider his life will be endangered by doing so? Not at all. And we've sent his family away to a little cottage down south. No one but my immediate staff and myself knows where they are.
