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 accuse of crimes perpetrated within this copy,

But to defend with equal vigor for 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.

Oh, here is our star David Bryan as Paul Garrett. Mr. District Attorney. Before a District Attorney can begin his search for a murderer, there are three things he must know. One in where the murder was committed and the identity of the victim.

All three of these elements were unknown when this case began. It's part of a midnight call from Harington asking me to meet him at the railroad freight yards on the outskirts of the city. It's the third box car that's starting over there, to just pass the crew in.

The odd detective and a brakeman were going through the cars with a whole boat when they spotted a duffel bag. They thought it was something so forward left behind. Now when they went to lift it they realized it was a patio.

Any identification, huh? Yeah. Female quotations. I don't know, it's actually about 21 years old. And in clothing? Yeah, but no laundry, ma. That boy said everything must have been home-londed. Can I arrest him at the climate death?

Mm-hmm. About seven hours ago, between 5 and 6 PM. Here we are. Can we get a little light in here? Oh, sure, sure. Hey, Charlie. Turn on those pots. See, Garrett wants some light in here.
