Transcript

Roma wines present, suspense. Roma wines made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. Sono, your health singer. Roma wines toast the world. The wine for your table is Roma wine made in California for enjoyment throughout the world.

This is the man in black here for the Roma wine company of Fresno, California. We introduce this weekly half hour of... Suspense. Tonight from Hollywood, Roma wines bring you Mr. Laird Krigar. In a suspense play dealing with a maniacal hatred, and with a mental drug of hypnotics.

And so with narrative about Clarence, and with the performance of Laird Krigar, supported by Hans Conry, this bill from whom we hear the narrative, we again hope to keep you in... Suspense. I never wanted to kill anyone.

Not until he came along. I didn't even want to kill him at first. I kept thinking there must be some other way. If anybody had told me six months ago that I was capable of murder, I would have thought he was crazy.

What I'm getting at is this. There are circumstances, people, that can make anybody want to commit murder. And he, he was one of those people. He brought the circumstances with him, a whole set of them.

I never heard of the guy at all one day last summer. We were having breakfast. My wife was looking over the morning mail. Bill, look at this. Post-Mart Calcutta. Must be from Clarence. Who's Clarence?

He's my brother. You never told me he had a brother? Didn't I? Well, it's not so surprising. He's only my half brother and I haven't seen him since I was a child. He's never even written to me before.
