The Hangman Won't Wait

This is us pens. This is the man in black, here again to introduce Columbia's program, suspense. Our star tonight is Mr. Sidney Green Street, one of Hollywood's most sensational newcomers in the number of years.

The famed fat man who lent his suspenseful talents to the Maltese Vulcan and across the Pacific. Mr. Green Street is with us to create on the air John Dixon Carr celebrated detective Dr. The story called The Hangman Won't Wait is tonight's tale of suspense.

If you have been with us on these Tuesday nights you will know that suspense is compounded of mystery and suspicion and dangerous adventure. In this series our tales calculated to intrigue you, stir your nerves, to offer you a precarious situation and then withhold the solution until the last possible moment.

And so it is, but the hangman won't wait, and Mr. Green Street's performance we again hope to keep you in. Sespense. He comes riding towards us now, beaming like old King Cole. You can probably hear him chuckle.

If he wheezes a little, that's due to weighing more than 300 pounds. Slan is a gross slan. You've noticed the three chins in the bandit's moustache of the eyeglasses on the black ribbon. He removes his hat with old school courtesy. Don't try to bow, Doctor.

He is Gideon Fell, Doctor of Philosophy, an expert in crime, if he tells us something about the Barton case. I've only one remark to make about the Barton case. Everybody was wrong. I'm afraid we don't quite follow that.

We judge was wrong. The jury was wrong. The prosecution was wrong. The defense was wrong. But, Dr. Fail, you can't have a murder case in which everybody is wrong. In my case, sir, you can have practically anything.
