A Story of Poison

And now tonight's presentation of radio's outstanding theater of thrills. Suspense. Tonight we bring you a story of one of the most notorious murderers in the annals of crime. It is based upon police and court records.

We call it a story of poison. So now starring Mr. Joseph Kearns, here is tonight's suspense play. A story of poison. Dr. Cream, there was nothing I could do.

I'm sorry, terribly sorry. I tried everything. You... you tried everything? Sorry. I did what I could. It was too late. You don't go in now. Oh, but I must... Oh, yes, I must see her.

I'm sorry. Oh, Emily. Emily, baby girl. Emily. Emily. My doctor. She's dead. Come away. I'll attend to things... You don't understand. She's dead. I wasn't with her. I didn't know. Oh Emily, my love, my girl.

Dr. Creen, please, get her. Oh no, no, no, she can't be. My life, my old Emily, Emily. That was Emily. She left me with an income of 400 pounds a year. It's rather extraordinary how long it took her to die.

To look at the girl, you'd never have thought it. She was thin, sickly, but in possession of what must have been the Constitution of an ox. I'd been poisoning her steadily for six months and certainly expected her to die with him free.

Oh, it was a case history for the medical journal, and so I wrote them a paper about it, anonymously of course. Inspector Waring, why did they forward it to the yard? There's a manuscript that goes to the matter with her.

I'll put it on my desk. I'll be there in half an hour. Three weeks after Emily died, I made arrangements to move to London. There was no trouble, but then I hadn't thought there would be.
