Case of the 15 Year Old Trail

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,

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. A District Attorney and a criminal have only one thing in common.

They both know the value of time. Each hour between the commission of a crime and the discovery of a crime means an hour more of freedom for the criminal. An hour more for the trail to grow cold.

And sometimes the hours lengthen into years, as they did in this case. The time is 15 years ago. Martin! Martin! You want me, Dr. Ralph? Where's your husband? Well, he just got up to bed.

Call him. I want to see him. Joe, come on down a minute. Doctor wants to see you. Something's wrong, Doctor. What is it? Martha, I want your husband out of this house tonight. Why? Here's why.

I just been going over my bank statements, two checks, with my name forged on him. What made you do that? I know all about him, Martha. Those two years he was away in Oklahoma. He wasn't in the Army.

was in prison. All right, Doc, so I wasn't prison. Got any skin off your nose? I got a good mind to call the police about you. Maybe one lesson wasn't enough. You got me so scared my knees is shaking. I'm sorry for your sake, Martha.
