Case of the Charity Killer

Mr. District Attorney, starring David Bryan. Mr. District Attorney, champion of the people, defender of truth, guardian of our fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And it shall be my duty as District Attorney, not only to prosecute to the limit of the law, all persons accused of crimes perpetrated within this county,

but to defend with equal vigor the rights and privileges of all its citizens. This is David Bryan. In a moment we'll bring you another case from the files of Mr. District Attorney. The first a word from our sponsor. And now here is our star David Bryan as Paul Garrett. Mr. District Attorney. One of our biggest

problems is the crook who prays on charitable activities, particularly those of local organizations. These groups are often singled out as easy pickings by confidence men, mainly because people connected with the groups are not worried about personal security and are therefore less cautious in their dealings with outsiders. The prevention and prosecution of crime is a difficult job at

best and all too often complicated by the carelessness of honest citizens. Citizens whose lack of vigilance invites lawlessness and violence, as in the case we're about to hear. Haven't you got that money ready yet?

I'm doing it as fast as I can. Here, here, never mind the silver. Here, let me do it. Oh, don't get so excited, Ralph. Marty's going to get her any second. I want this stuff ready for you.

Mr. Bethany, I chase you all the way across the lawn. I just heard that we've taken in more than $3,000. Something like that, Mrs. Pruitt. But if you don't mind, I'm pretty busy at the moment.
