Killer at Large

From the heart of the jungle comes a savage cry of victory. This is Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. From the black core of dark Africa, land of enchantment, mystery and violence comes one of the most colorful figures of all time.

Transcribed from the immortal pen of Edgar Rice Burrows. Tarzan, the bronze-white son of the jungle. And now in the very words of Mr. Burrows, the story of killer at large. Africa is a violent place, used to the savagories of man and of beast, and yet the entire continent was swept by a wave of shock when the horrifying news came over the Johannesburg radio.

We interrupt this program to bring you a special news flash. Judge Harley Cartwright, his wife and two of their children were murdered in their sleep sometime between 11 o'clock last night and 7 this morning. Their bodies were discovered by Miss Brunhilde Gryson, a servant, who reported for work at that hour. No further details are available at this time.

Judge Cartwright, it hardly seems possible. What a tremendous loss to the country! He was a right one. He was an honorable thing. I've seen as a red lost my best friend. Thousands in Africa must feel the same way.

It's his whole family! I will now tell you! Yes, Africa was in mourning for the one man who had done more than any other to bring equal justice for all to the dark continent. And on the Black Day of his murder, people spoke of his greatness.

They told, for example, of how he'd once sentenced his own son, not a victim of the mass killing, for a minor infraction of the law, and then dismissed a similar case against a native, on the grounds that his son knew better, and the native did not.
