The Man in the Fog

And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in, suspense. A man walks in the fog, and a woman dies. Terror, grips the city, and the police are helpless, for the murders are without pattern and apparently without motive.

Listen now to Act I of the Man in the Fog, starring Robert Dryden and Ethel Everett, written especially for suspense by Joseph Cochran. It's horrible. Think of it then. Three, now four. Rip with a knife and left in the gutter.

Oh, don't take on so many. A live one minute of clawing corpse the next. Why don't the police do something? I don't know why, why don't they? The wits end is why. They do think it's a working man though.

Why? But that's like them, the Blime-a-Poor working man for anything that happens. It says the killings always happen on weekends, so they guess the one who's doing it is working the other days. If there's a smart one or they catch him?

Well, they don't really know anyhow they're doubling the night force on weekends until he's caught. Maybe he's too smart to get caught. They're asking everyone to help. And the newspapers often are a war. It's right here.

This Piper will pie 500 pounds to any person who offers a clue which leads to the arrest and conviction of the monster who holds the city and terror and... That's what they're calling a poor working man.

Who I could do with 500 pounds. I'd get a new war cloth for the table and paint the kitchen, maybe a new sink. Well you ain't got it, so stop thinking of all the things you'd spend it for.
