The Last Letter of Dr Bronson

And now, tonight's presentation of Radios Outstanding Theatre of Thrills, Suspense, the story of a man who sets out to prove that he cannot be murdered, only to find there was a slight error in his calculations.

So now, starring John Dana, here is tonight's suspense play, The Last Letter of Dr. Bronson. My dear Dr. Moshe, forgive me if I dash this letter off rather hurriedly. same. There are but a very few minutes remaining for me, the few minutes between now and midnight.

You have always protested my fascination with the subject of death. It irked you to hear me discuss the latest electrocution or hanging. You alone, Mosher, will know how this fascination has led me to this terrible moment. I should like you to have all the fact. First of all, let me recall a conversation which we held here in my study a little over

a year ago. Death and murder. There you go again, Bronson. Really, you're unheld. No, no, no, no, no. Wait, Mosher. I've been studying the question for some time and I have concluded that there are five basic checks which served a restrained man from murdering his fellow man. Interesting theory. No, it's more than a theory. I can and I intend to prove it.

Come on now, Bronzio. I shall select five men, each of whom I shall supply with a motive to commit a murder, greed, revenge, jealousy, whatever. I shall encourage each man to kill, and then restrain him from the act by means of the particular check which I'm testing.

You forget, of course, that a murderer requires a partner in crime, the victim, the man to be killed. Well, I shall supply one. You will ask this victim to face five men, each standing to derive satisfaction or profit from murdering him.
