Case of the Late Mrs Harvey

Beginning next Sunday, February 24, the time period now featuring Whitehall 1212 will be occupied by a Hollywood Star Playhouse, which will be followed immediately by Whitehall 1212. Whitehall 1212! For the first time in history, Scotland Yard opens its official files to bring you the authentic stories of some of its most baffling cases.

These are the true stories, the unvarnished facts, just as they occurred, reenacted for you by an all British cast. Only the names of the participants have for obvious reasons been changed. The stories are presented with a full cooperation of Scotland Yard.

Research on Whitehall 1212 is prepared by Percy Hoskins, Chief Crime Reporter for the London Daily Express. The stories for radio are written and directed by Willis Cooper. Here is the story of Scotland Yard File 133123.

This is Chief Superintendent John Davidson of Scotland Yard. Good afternoon. The Blackness Inn contains articles which are figured to a greater or less degree in several thousands of cases. A great many of them involving the Crime of Murder. Case number 1333, 123, occurred, believe it or not, a few years before my time here at the yard, the year 1910, 42

years ago. However, it is still remembered as one of the most unusual cases in the yard's history, and I think you'll shortly discover why. In fact, despite the disguise names, you yourself may recall the case if you're old in that. I show you now two of the exhibits remaining from this notable case. First, the top of an ordinary suit of cotton pajamas. These

stains are blood. You will agree with me that occasionally the black museum does live up to its reputation as a chamber of horrors. The other is a curiously altered suit of men's clothing of the period.
