Transcript

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 word from our sponsor.

And now here is our star, David Bryan, as Paul Garrett. Mr. District Attorney. A knowledge of the law is a minor part of the qualifications of a district attorney. Because enforcement of the law depends upon factors outside the law.

Things the district attorney must know or learn if the blindfold on justice is to be lifted. Take this case. It started late one night in the cultivated field in the farm area of the county. How many more bills we got to lose, Lynn?

Fifteen, twenty left, that's all. This will be the last truck, Lou then. Yeah. As soon as you get off the place with it, the better. Mullensch, you're going to be surprised when he gets a look at this field tomorrow. What do we get for this stuff?

The market's about $30 a ton. Clear almost $200 a piece. Not as much as we could make stealing livestock. Sure, still livestock and gets into the pen. Maybe there ain't as much money in Alfalfa, but it ain't marked either.

Nobody can say it ain't yours once you get in the clear with it. I suppose Mullins' respect you had something to do with this? Me? Is all I'm about eating on a chair? Besides, he saw me take a sleeping pill before we turned in tonight.
