Attorney for the Defense

And now stay tuned for the program that has rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history. The Signal Oil Program. The Quistler. Signal the famous Go Father Gasly invites you to sit back and enjoy another strange story by the Quistler.

I am the Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.

And now, for the signal oil company, the Whistler's strange story. Attorney for the defense. The trial had captured the headlines and commanded the bulk of page one news since its very first day. Randolph Abbott made news because he was dead, murdered, and his only daughter, lovely Ruth Abbott, was standing trial for his murder.

Defending her was her father's own attorney, Joseph Herman. Now the court stood recessed, and Joseph Herman walked confidently from the crowded courtroom. Think you've got the DA on the run, Mr. Herman? Well, the district attorney has his job to do and I have mine.

But you may quote me as saying that Ruth Abbott is innocent, entirely innocent of her father's murder. And I propose to prove her innocence. Let's go! A splendid statement, Joseph. Clear cut to the point. Your words will look good in print.

But then, your words are most important in this murder trial, aren't they, Joseph? More important than anyone else's. Because you're the only one who knows exactly what happened. The night Randolph Abbott was murdered. Yes, Joseph, you remember that night well.
