Sequel to Murder

And now, tonight's presentation from Radio's Outstanding Theater of Frills... ...suspense... ...tonight, the story of a man with no imagination, who found it necessary to cause the violent end of a life. It was written by the winner of the Edgar Allan Poe award, E. Jack Newman.

The story is called... ...Sequel to Murder. I read, I don't write. I don't have the imagination, they tell me. They've told me. But I'm writing this down and it doesn't take much imagination, so I guess I might do a fair job at that.

Take a day in my office where I start her. Hi, Frank. Up to your neck. No, Mr. Walsh. Oh, good. Here. New writer. Interesting title. Death on my hands by a plain cartridge. Mm-hmm. Good title.

New boy. I'd like to have you read it and see what you think for our Red Barrier series. Okay, I'll get at it as soon as I can, Mr. Walsh. What did you think? I only read the first ten pages Frank, look fine, fine.

But I'm going to leave the decision up to you. If you think this kitridge has got anything, we'll put him in this month's listings. Oh, it's 11.35. Lunch? I'd better not, Mr. Wells. Well, okay, Frank, I don't want to interfere with any business you've got to take care of.

Sorry, Mr. Wells. It's okay, okay, Frank, I won't press you. Maybe tomorrow, huh? Yeah, fine, sir. It's just that I have so much work here. Certainly can't go on like this. I can't go on.

You'd better work something out. I will, I will. Not there's no need for all this. You said the same thing a year ago, Frank. A whole year ago you said exactly the same thing. And it's still the same as it was then.
