 CBS Radio, a division of the Columbia Broadcasting System, and its 217 affiliated stations, present the CBS Radio Workshop. Radio's distinguished series dedicated to man's imagination, The Theater of the Mind. Transcribe. And Robbers is a game played by children, and it's a game actors play on the radio for a living. Tonight the actors as usual will be playing make-believe robbers, but the cops will be real. The CBS Radio Workshop presents cops and robbers. My name is Stanley Ness. I'm a writer, mostly of crime criminals and what police do about them. For a long time I've wondered what real detectives would do when confronted with a fictitious crime. And tonight the CBS Radio Workshop is giving me a chance to find out. First, so you the actors and I can start off knowing what the detectives will try to find out. We've written a short dramatic sketch which we've recorded while our detectives, all retired members of the police department, city of New York, are across the street having coffee. The scene, a one-room flat on the upper east side of New York. What? Who is it? It's me, Duncan. Well, come on in. It's open. It's not open. Honest goodness. Be careful. My finger nails are wet. Oh. Well, where is it? Well, where's what? The Chalmaine. You're going to stop at the Chinese restaurant and bring back Chalmaine. Where you been? Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, I was. I forgot. You forgot? How could you forget what you went out for? Ellie, baby, listen. You gotta stand by me. I'm in a jam. You went out to get Chalmaine. How could you get in a jam? I did. That's all there is to it. What kind of a jam? I can't tell you right now. You expect me to stand by you and you can't tell me? Why don't you get the Chalmaine? Forget about the Chalmaine. Will you? Listen, you got the telephone number that Barron grew with Joe hangs out at the Glenham's. What's Joe got to do with this? Have you got the telephone number? Yeah, I got it. It's in the drawer there. One of their cards. Oh, get it for me, will you, baby? Get it yourself. My finger nails are all wet. What's this all about, anyway? I'll tell you. I'll tell you later. Well, where is it, anyway? It's there. Look. Look. Now tear apart. Oh, here it is. Look, I got to go out in the hall and phone him. Don! Yeah? Oh, do you sit down and relax and tell me what this is all about? I don't have to sit down. I can tell you standing up. I shot a guy. You what? I shot a guy. You're the guy. I don't know how I could, but I did. So we know what our detectives will try to find out. The crime referred to as of such a serious nature that the precinct detective squad commander was called from his home to supervise the investigation. Our squad commander tonight is Lieutenant Dan Campion, who retired from the police department a little over a year ago, after 25 years in a job. The detectives working under him will be Howard C. Clancy, Jerry Heaney, and Richard Jacobson. Approximately an hour and 10 minutes after the crime occurs, detective Jacobson, who is carrying the squeal, which means that it's his case, has returned to the station house and is typing up a report on the progress of the investigation so far. Remember, the detectives have no script. They are playing themselves, doing a job just like they have done every day. What's up, Jake? Oh, hello, Lieutenant. We had a tough stick up in the precinct tonight. Oh, another one? Yeah, liquor store over in 72nd Street. What time did it happen, Jake? About 9.50. It's that fair land liquor store over in 280, 80, 70 second. And a fellow stuck a gun into the clerk who was in front of the store, and the owner was in back doing little bookkeeping when he stepped out. He had a pistol. So you got a permit for it? Oh, yes, he had that. We checked on that. But anyway, he, poor fellow, got shot. Is he seriously hurt? Oh, yes, sir. He's alive yet, though. Oh, yes. He's over in Metropolitan Hospital. He fired a shot at the stick-up man. The stick-up man fired two at him and hit him. And he went down. Where was he shot, Dick? Under the chin it hit him, deflected into his jaw just below his lips. Oh. Anything else to it? He got a little more than $800. He grabbed a, uh, money in a paper bag and ran out the front door in the street. Anybody see him? Any good identifications? Well, he had a pretty fair identification. The, uh, fellow had a car. We found it out later. He ran around the corner in 3rd Avenue and he hit some old woman, knocked it down. Anybody see him? There was a sanitation man trying to help the old woman up. But he saw this fellow continue to run. He went around 3rd Avenue and looked him over and he was getting into a car and got away. You got the sanitation man name and all like that? Yes, we have that. Good. But on the back of his car, he had some of that red tape, that fluorescent tape they're using. Oh, yes. And, uh, that was all over the back bumper. And he got the last three numbers of the plate. I sent out a alarm for the car over the teletype with those three numbers. And, uh, all the boys in the neighboring precincts have been notified. Lieutenant Campion, Sergeant Klein on THS rang upstairs and he says, doubt over on post 11 thinks he's got that car spotted. Oh, that's fine. That's fine. That's fine. That's fine. It's over there at 2nd Avenue 77th Street. It's a two-door Plymouth C. Dan. It's 3T 152. Oh, we got the full license. Yeah, and I verified it and it's registered under a Joseph E. McCondy. It's 761 E 76th Street. Hey, Clancy, could you check us properly on that? OK. See if you can get the description of the car and get the owner's name and address. Yeah, doubt his guard in the car over there. He's not letting anybody go near it. Say, Jake, you go over with Howie after he makes that call and say we can get that owner in here and we'll talk to him. Very good. We'll do that. OK, get that on him. Now we see the detectives are off on the right track. But what about the characters played by our actors? Let's get back to them. The following scene was written, rehearsed and recorded in advance. And, of course, Lieutenant Campion and his men are unaware of what is going on in this scene, just as they would be in the job. All right, Joe. I'm coming. Oh, Joe, darling, you're done. You've got a friend in me. That was the best fight of all season and I got to miss the finish. I appreciate it, Joe. Hello, Ellie. Hi. What's the big jam you're in? You're sure it's not the car? No, it's not the car. It only should be. Where's the keys? Here. Here you are, Joe. Where'd you leave the car? In the same place, right where you're always leaving. All right. Now, what's this big jam you're in? He went out to get some chow mein to bring back. Let me tell it, will you? Who's stopping you? I went out and I started to the Chinese restaurant. All right. Then I figured it's Friday. It's going to be a long weekend and I don't have much money in my pocket. So? So I figured I ought to do a little work. Then I ran into you on the corner and I said, Joe, can I borrow your car? You said, sure, why not if you fill it up with gas? So you gave me the keys and that was that. Not yet. That wasn't that. Yeah, let me tell it my own way. So I lent you the car. Yeah, that's right. And I drove around Scouting for a good place to make. I parked it on 72nd Street where I could get away easy. I walked around a corner and there was this liquor store just right for picking. You was in my car for the get? It was all perfectly simple, Joe. Wait, wait. There's more to come. What's to come, Donk? Well, it was a good touch and I cleaned out the register and I'm heading for the door and all of a sudden another clerk comes out from the back with a gun. Uh-oh. So what could I do? I blast away. He drops and I take out around the corner for the car. To make the long story short, I'm in the car and I'm away. It's the guy dead. He didn't wait around to find out. My car, you gotta borrow it to go heist the joint and shoot up a guy. That's a fine thing. I'm sure. I'm sure I got away okay. I don't think anybody made the license number. There were some people looking at me as I came around the corner, but I don't think they made the number on the car. I suppose if somebody did. That's what I want to talk to you about, Joe. Look, if by any chance somebody did in the cops come talking to you, don't tell them you let me in the car. What do you mean don't tell them I lent you the car? What do I kind of tell them? Well, you know what to say, Joe. You'll think of something. There ain't a chance in a thousand anybody made the car, but I just want to cover every step of ground. Look, look, I'm an innocent bystander. I was in the bar and grill watching the fight. You didn't tell me what you were going to do. Why should I cover for you? Joe, I've known you a long time. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Oh, tell me something, Duncan. Huh? What? How much did you get out of the liquor store? Money, you mean? Yeah, money. Over $500. How much? Over $500. $812. That wasn't bad. Was it worth shooting a man for? Joe, you've got to help me. I help you plenty. Give me $400. What do you mean give you $400? You want me to help you, don't you? But that's half. It ain't half. You've got $812. All I'm asking is $400. What? There's not a chance in 1,000. There'll be a kickback. All right, then what are you worried about? Now, let's forget the whole thing. I'll go home and go to sleep. And if the cops talk to me, all I can tell them is the truth. Well, you got me in a box. Joe, that's your box. Give me the $400. What are you taking chances? Well, what are you going to tell them if they talk to you? I don't know yet. I'll take her something. Yeah, but why? Well, you give me a chance. The deal was just sprung on me. I've got to work it out. All right, Joe, you cover me now. Don't forget. I'll cover you if they talk to me. Thanks, Joe. I knew I could count on you. Boy, this is a load off my mind. What a relief. Now that it's such a relief, please go down and get the child maintenance. Now, with sufficient information on which to act, Lieutenant Campion has instructed his men on their next step in the investigation. Detectors Clancy and Jacobson, for instance, go to 761 East 76th Street. The address lists it for Joseph P. McCondy and whose name the car is registered. Remember, from now on, there is no script. The actors are on their own. So are the detectives. Let's see what happens. Hey, Mike. McCondy. Mike. Is there something I could do for you, John Lynch? What's your name, Chief? Joseph P. McCondy. What detectives? Oh, do you own an automobile? Yes, I do. What kind of a car do you have? I have a 1950 Plymouth, two-door. Do you have a little accident tonight with it? No, sir. Do you have a license? Yes, sir, I have it right here. Do you see it? Sure. Is there something wrong, gentlemen? Well, you were just chatting a little accident tonight. I'm sure, someplace, didn't you? No, sir. You sure of that? Absolutely. Do you own the car to anybody? No, sir. Where is the car now? Well, it left it on 2nd Avenue, between 77th and 78th Street. Why did you leave it around there for? Well, I was at a bar. Well, now, I was watching the fights. Nice. Anybody with you? No, sir. How are you, sir? I have a couple of boys I see every once in a while in there. What's some of their names? Give me one name. Well, there was... I'd give you a couple of those, Bud and Tommy. Uh-huh. But you're Linda, Bud and Tommy, your car tonight. No, no, no. We were always like to talk to you. Oh, hold on. You don't mind, do you? No, sure, sir. Do you have anything on you before you leave? No, sir. Absolutely not. You're sure of that? I'm clean. Ever been arrested? No, I've never been arrested. You're sure of that? Absolutely. Look, anything that you say we're going to check, don't forget that. Right, sir. You might just as well tell us the truth right now. Yeah, I've never been arrested. You've never been arrested. Oh, I've been down at a house. Okay. Let's go. Okay. With Joe McCondy and custody, the detectives returned to the station house. They walked them upstairs to the squad room and into Lieutenant Campion's office. Son, if this is a... McCondy. Follow along that car. Oh, hello, Mr. McCondy. How do you do, sir? Sit down there a minute. Yes, thank you. Can I see outside a minute, Lieutenant? Yeah, and you stay in here with him. Okay. I'll be right back, Mr. McCondy, where you have some other business to take care of. Could I smoke in here, sir? All right. Gary, go ahead. Don't throw the butts on the floor. Oh, no, I wouldn't do that. You want any coffee? Yeah, I wouldn't mind a little. Okay, stand up. Yes, sir. Everything you have in your pockets, take them out and put it on the desk here. Everything, no matter what it is. Okay. If it's money, count it. All right. In front of me. Yeah. It's embarrassing, because they're not too well-heeled. They only got $5, $10, $11, $12, $13. $13, okay, put it back. Okay. Any other cards? I have a wallet here, howie. Okay. Yeah, let's look at that. Well, if... All right. Yeah, my wallet. There's not a wallet I got. I keep... Who do you live with at this address? Nobody. I see. All right. What do you work at, Mr. McCondy? Well, I've... I kind of dappled in the sports, the equestrian... What do you mean, dappled? Well, you know, I hang around the racetracks a little bit. Your bookmaker? Well, a little bit. You take numbers? No, I don't take numbers. Have you ever fingerprinted for anything? No, I was never fingerprinted. Never fingerprinted? No. Because we're gonna fingerprint you. Well, that's all right. That's your privilege, I guess. Excuse me a minute. Excuse me a minute. Well, tell me, he was in the spot up on the avenue tonight. Yeah, we'll come to that. I'd say, Jerry, check the BCI in this fellow's name and address, and you've got a pretty good description of him. Okay. Now, I want you to check the information bureau and see if he's been... Do you ever get a summons for anything? No. Never had a summons in your life? No. Well, you live in a park and summons and stuff like that? Yeah. Well, I got a ticket for speeding, I once, twice. How long ago was that? How long ago was that? Yeah, I... Why don't you answer the question? Well, I... I call those tickets, you know. You were convicted then. That's polite. Was that right? You were fined? Yeah, I was fined. Well, that's your conviction. Now, where were you at 920? I was at Glendham's Bar and Grill on 2nd Avenue, between about 75th and 76th Street. I got there about... Oh, about 9 o'clock. I had some real rotten chow there, and then I had a few beers with this Bud and Tommy, what I told you about. And we were chewing the rag there for about an hour to fight one on at about 10 o'clock. And we made a couple of bets, me and this Bud and Tommy, and... You didn't leave the premises between 9 and 10 o'clock? No, no. Did you see the whole fight? Yeah, I went 10 rounds. Who won the fight? I won the fight. I won the fight. I won the fight. What odds did you get? Two to one. I gave to you. Oh, you gave the odds, huh? What did you get on that, Jerry? Anything? McCondy, what are you handing out here? You did a bit in 1952 of a Pettit Lasny. What kind of a Pettit Lasny was it? You went to the island for it. Oh, what kind of a Pettit Lasny was that? Was that Grand Lasny and reduced to Pettit Lasny? You took a plea on it, didn't you? Yes. It was Grand Lasny, then, wasn't it? Well, yeah, I don't... Listen, I don't know the technical words for these things. Oh, you know just as much about it as we do. You arrest us. You know more law about that. Now, hold it, fellas. Listen, who used your car tonight? We haven't got all night. There's a man dying. I told you when we picked you up at your house that we were gonna verify everything that you told us. Remember me saying that? Yeah, yeah, I know that. Listen, Mac, why don't you stop kidding? We're bringing the bartender over here. Well, you could bring him in. He's coming in. That's okay with me. Take this guy over and fingerprint him and let him think this thing over. And if he don't come up with something different, boy, you're in. It's after one in the morning. A detective has drawn the Glenham's Born Grill on 2nd Avenue to get the bartender, Whitey. He brings him in at Lieutenant Campion's office. Hi, Luke. Hello. This is Harry White and they call him Whitey. He's the bartender. This is Lieutenant Campion in charge of the squad here. Hello, Whitey. How are you? This is Detective Heaney and Detective Jacobson. Hi, Whitey. How long you been in our precinct, Whitey? Oh, I've been working a joint up there about eight years now. Eight years? Okay. All right, if I sit down. No, go ahead. Sit down. You can smoke. Do what you want. You know Joe McCondy, Whitey? Yeah, I know Joe a long time. You see him tonight? Yeah, yeah. He was there tonight. Was he in the general tonight? Yeah. Yeah. Was he there all night? Uh, well, whatever. Pretty busy night. He came in, uh, came in a little after nine o'clock, and he was about nine o'clock, yeah. Was there all night then? Yeah, he was there, uh, well, let's see. Now, the fights, he was watching the fights. He was there about, uh, quarter of 11, I think. Anyway. Who was he with, Whitey? I had a couple of pals of his, uh... Who are they? Oh, I don't know. Their last name's Tom and Bud something. He's always with them. What time did Joe come in there, did you say? Well, I think it was around nine o'clock. Who wasn't ten o'clock? Oh, no, no. No, he was there at ten o'clock. Was he there at seven thirty? No, no, he wasn't there at seven thirty. Did you miss him any time at all between nine and ten o'clock? Between nine and ten? Yeah. Did you miss him? No. You took a bet off him, didn't you? No, he was there. He was drinking all the time. Well, he said he was there since about seven thirty. All evening and all night. Somebody's lying here, Whitey. Either you or him. No, I remember this, and I know. I know Joe very well. What about us two pals, Whitey? Do they leave the place at all tonight? No, the two pals were there. They were there all the time. I came in with them. Wait a minute. I'll tell you one thing. The phone rang. And I picked it up and called. It was for Joe. But this was, uh... This was about ten thirty, I think. So, uh, I called Joe and Joe went up the phone. I forgot about it. It was busy, like I said, you know. And, uh, suddenly Joe comes running up the bar. He says, I gotta go. What time was that? Well, this was, uh... This was about right after the fight. It was male or female voice? Uh... You mean the guy that called her was a male voice? Male voice. And he called and then Joe said he had to leave right away? Yeah, he said something about, uh... He said, uh... I gotta go up to Ellie's, I think it was. What time was that about? I think it was about quarter of eleven. It was right after the fights were over. Oh, we don't need a lineup for this. Bring Joe in and make sure he identifies him. Uh, take him out and bring Joe in. Is this the fella here? Yeah, hi, whitey. Hi, Joe. Hi, Joe. Yeah. You said that you were in the bar all night. Yeah. Until the time you come home the detectives met you at your door. Yeah. What are you lying about? Well, I was there. Well, I'm not... Now, stop. Whitey said you weren't there. He said you left there. Who's Ellie? I don't know, no, Ellie. Well, you got a phone call and you left the place all excited. Well, I wasn't excited. Yeah, it's true. Who called you? I got a phone call at Whitey's place, you see? Now, here's the way it works. I like I told you it'll be fine. All right, I'll take a little book in there, see? Listen, Joe. No, that's the truth. That's the truth. You want to hold a bag for everybody hold it because you're going to hold it unless you tell us who you loan your car to or somebody else use you. Maybe Joe would rather talk to us with Whitey outside. You wait outside a while, won't you? Yeah. Go on out with him, Dick. Very good. Good luck, Joe. All right, Whitey. Thanks. Are you going to tell us who you loaned your car to or not? I didn't lend it to nobody. All right, nobody had your car tonight. No. You had it all night. It was on the street. All right, fellas. Does the car belong to you? Sure. Is there no mortgage on it or anything else? It all belongs to you. Yeah, yeah. Does everything in the car belong to you? That stuff in the back, on the trunk and all like that? Everything. Everything belongs to you, huh? Yeah. Is that right? That's right. All right, well, how about the gun under the seat please? No, not the bottle of gun. Now, you fellas heard him say everything belongs to him. And do you know where the previous Mr. Meena boy? This is a felony. You're not kidding anybody. You're Rin. Well, there's a man dying over there. All I know is you could check with the lady and with Bud. Bud works in the garage on First Ave. We'll have somebody check. Mccondy, I want to tell you something. Yeah. Now, we found this gun in your car. And what we're going to do, we're going to send this gun down to the ballistic bureau to have a test made and to see if it conforms with the bullets that were shot into that man tonight. So we're just going to hold you. You are now arrested. You're arrested for 1897 of the penal law, which happens to be a felony. So I want to tell you right now, you're permitted to call somebody or write a letter. Mccondy, why don't you get some off yourself and kick in? You haven't got a chance. I'll tell you, everything I told you is true. We've been babying you all day and all night. We're not going to baby you anymore. I don't want to take no raps for nobody, so... You're not going to take any raps? No. I'm glad to hear that. Why don't you tell the lieutenant just what happened? OK, OK. Let's go. I got a phone call. Let him talk. Why, you see, from, uh, from Dunk. Dunk. What's Dunk's name? Dunk, Dunk Rui. Dunk Rui? Yeah, it's like Dewey with an R. Where does he live? He lives on, uh, 390-8071 Street. That's Ellie's, uh, that's his girlfriend. Oh, yeah? Yeah, that's what he called me from Ellie's house. Let's take this name and address for a while. Check that at the BCI, see if we get anything on him. Go ahead now. Well, he called me up and, uh, he said, uh, he had to see me, you see. I told him to come down because I wanted to watch the fight. I didn't want to miss the last round. So he said it was very important I should come to Ellie's house, as fast as I could get there. He was, he was the one who was excited. I wasn't excited. You're the calm type. Yeah, you know, I, so anyway, uh, I went over to Ellie's house and I longed, I longed Dunk my car. I didn't, he didn't tell me what he was going to do with the car. No, he twisted your arm for you to get it from me. Well, I, I'd lend him a car. When is Dunk now? I don't know where he is now. Maybe he's at Ellie's. At Ellie's house? Yeah. What time did you learn the car? I don't know when he took it. I gave him the keys. Where do you generally meet him? At Whitey's. At Whitey's? Yeah. Yeah. But he goes study with Ellie, huh? Yeah, I've been up there for a bit. Does he live with her? Well, he's there most of the time. Just a friend. Let's be discreet, you know. What's that location again? 390, 871st. What a problem. It's, uh, 3E, I think it is. It's on the third floor. They got a phone over there? Yeah. Okay. Say, Dick, Jerry, get right over to this Ellie's house. Get that guy right there. In fact, I think we better put him in the boob downstairs, and we'll all go over. Now, 20 minutes later, the detectives are in the hall on the third floor outside of Ellie's flat. Here, as they hope to make the final arrest in the case, Lieutenant Campion gives his instructions. Yeah. Listen, everybody get your guns out right now. We don't want anybody to get hurt here. Special delivery. Oh. Where's Doug? Wait! Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Don't hide it. He's not. She's going to be a nice little bell. Listen, Ellie, where's, where's Duncan? Duncan, who? Oh, you know, Duncan, who? Now, don't give us that line. I don't know what you're talking about, really. They don't have to. Yeah, look at this giant dog. Okay, this is a good section. Yeah, give this a good section. There's nothing here. We'll find out. We'll find out. We'll have the best movement in the world. We're going to scream, too. So just keep it nice and cool. Go over there and sit down. Really? That's my money. How much is that? A couple hundred dollars. What is a couple of hundred? It's my money. How much? I don't know. The choice to be a hundred dollars is something like that. Count that out. I saved it. Ellie, where's Duncan? I don't know. Well, we know he was up here. Charlie, let her watch him counting this dough, will you? How much is there? There's eight hundred and fifteen dollars here. Well, that's... Eight hundred and fifteen isn't a couple. I don't take it out and count it all the time. I don't keep my money in the bank. I keep it under there. You know the difference between a couple of hundred dollars and eight hundred dollars. Look, I'm going to cover the door in case this bum comes in. Oh, dude, that's what you all mean. And yell if you need some help, then. Let's get back to the money. What did you get this money? It's my money. It's my money. It's all the money I have. Don't be screaming. I'll ask you that again. What do you do for a living? I'm raising right now. Where did you get this money? I saved it. I've worked other times. What kind of life do you do? I've been on the stage. How long ago? Several years ago. Just for a little while. And then I've had other jobs. Well, how do you maintain yourself right now? Right now I'm unemployed. For how long? About six months or something like that. Six months and you got eight hundred and fifteen fish under the cover there? You live here alone, Ellie? Yes, sir, I do. What's men's clothes doing in the closet? Some, that's... Your father's. No, not my father. There's somebody left him here. She'll explain. Come on, she'll explain. You've been arrested before, Ellie. No. Ellie, thunk. Yeah, man. I think I'm up. I think I'm up. Give me a quick fan. What's this, Ellie? Give me a fresco. Oh, no, I don't know. Sit down. Sit down there. You didn't know, Dunk, huh? I didn't say I didn't know him. I said I hadn't seen him in a long time. And I hadn't. Don't you better get that new suit out of the closet. You're gonna need it. Where are cops? I don't know you're cops. Oh, do you want to be shown? Sure, I want to be shown. What do you work at, bum? You're a weird show. What do you work at? I don't work. I'm sick. Oh, yeah? You'll be sicker when this is over. How long do you know to Jane here? How long do I know you? A couple of years, huh? A couple of years. Do you want to live here? Well, I don't know what you want. What do you want with me? I know you're clothes in the closet. They're his clothes. Did you leave any money with her? You left an envelope with her, didn't you? Some dome. She said you did. Shut up. You'll keep quiet. I'll leave with her. Look, I want a lawyer. I mean, I want a lawyer. You'll get a lawyer. You'll get a lawyer. How much did you leave with her? How much money? She said you left 800 bucks. Is that right? I didn't leave. How much did you leave? No, no, no. You didn't leave. You didn't count it. I didn't leave any 800 dollars. Help me. Where did you go? You got a charge or something. Where on my charge? You'll tell him. You'll hear a charge. I'm going to give you a 48. Did you ever hear about a 49? I don't know what it is, no. Well, we make out a short affidavit down in Caught, see? And it's a 48. And if we can't find anything on it, in 48 hours, we give you another 48. And we keep giving you 48s. Until you get wifey. What kind of a deal is that? I did not want to hush the wifey. All right, get them up. We'll take them down the house. How do I see that Joe? I'll tell him. Come on. Keep going, Duncan. Next time I'll borrow somebody else's car. And that was cops and robbers, with real cops and not so real robbers. They were actors, and I'm sure you will agree, very good actors, playing for the most part without a script, knowing only the backgrounds and motivations of their characters. John Sylvester was Dunk, Elsbeth Eric was Ellie, Larry Haines played Joe, and Ken Lynch was the bartender. The CBS Radio workshop is grateful to Lieutenant Dan Campion and detectives Richard Jacobson, Howard Clancy, and Jerry Heaney for helping us try to prove a point. I hope we did. You have been listening to cops and robbers on the CBS Radio workshop. Cops and robbers was conceived and directed by Stanley Ness, who also acted as your narrator. All names were fictitious except those of our detectives, who are all retired members of the Detective Division, Police Department, City of New York. This is Art Hannes inviting you to listen next week when the CBS Radio workshop will present The Legend of Jimmy Blue Eyes, a narrative poem set to music by Ray Noble, the story of a jazz trumpeter who sells his soul to the devil. The CBS Radio workshop is produced in New York by Paul Roberts. Another brilliant concert by the New York Philharmonic Symphony comes to you over most of these same stations on Sunday as Guido Cantele returns to conduct an exciting program featuring the Beethoven Concerto No. 4 in G major with the distinguished German pianist, William Bauhaus, as soloist. Stay tuned for five minutes of CBS news to be followed on most of these same stations by the Jack Carson Show. Tonight the CBS Radio workshop was transcribed. This is the CBS Radio Network.
