In this bonus episode, I'm sharing my five favorite installments of Crime Classics - the anthology of true crime stories taken from the pages of history. "Connaisseur of crime" Thomas Hyland (played by Lou Merrill) narrated the tales that ranged from BC until recent history. A dismembered corpse stuns Boston society in "The Terrible Deed of John White Webster" (originally aired on CBS on July 13, 1953), and a woman's murder of her philandering boyfriend is only the beginning of the story in "The Incredible Trial of Laura D. Fair" (AFRS rebroadcast from August 17, 1953). A pair of enterprising young men enter the corpse procurement business in "If a Body Need a Body, Just Call Burke and Hare" (originally aired on CBS on December 2, 1953). Plus, two of history's most notorious murders are dramatized - "The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln" (originally aired on CBS on December 9, 1953) and "Twenty-Three Knives Against Caesar" (originally aired on CBS on February 10, 1954).

No Audio intro as this series has been on quite a bit. All of the shows are the stories of real crime ... intensive research through newspapers, police reports, judicial action done. The music is even directed toward the time that the crime was committed. This story deals with a rather mentally ill daughter and her mother...and how they made their money. Track stored in "Crime Classics" Playlist.

This week on Case Closed, we begin with Dear Dead Lady, from The New Adventures Of Nero Wolfe. That story first aired November 3, 1950. (30:02) Our second story is The Incredible Trial Of Laura D.

CRIME CLASSICS, Episode 52 Premiered Feb 9, 2024 The first woman executed for murder in the United States was hanged in 1778. In 1953 her shocking tale of love, hate, conspiracy, and murder was brought to life in the audition script for a new CBS radio drama series - "Crime Classics." Crime Classics was a sort of mid-century predecessor to today's true-crime podcasts. The audition episode, titled "The Crime of Bathsheba Spooner," featured some of radio's finest actors, writers, directors, and musicians. Unfortunately, this thoughtful adult true crime series only lasted a year before succumbing to the inexorable advance of television. Now, Project Audion premieres a recreation of the show using the original, uncut audition script, including material that never aired seventy years ago. In addition, we visit with Andrew Noone, author of a recent book on the 1778 murder, trial, and execution of Spooner. Join us and listen to the modern passions that inflamed Revolutionary America, as our transcontinental cast gathers via Zoom to perform a true "Crime Classic." The cast includes – David Phillips in Virginia Patte Rosebank in Toronto Canada Kyle Bonn in Oregon Scott McKinley in New Jersey Mick Wheaton in Washington Pete Fernbaugh in West Virginia Tom Konkle in California Donna Patton in Tennessee while Larry Groebe produced and directed from Texas

Audio file introduces the Crime Classics series of programs with Elliot Lewis and Lou Merrill as Thomas Hyland. CBS radio program from June 15, 1953 to June 30, 1954. A sustaining docudrama. Re-enactment of real crimes in history. Show was well researched and worked to have the music, dialect, sounds that matched the period in history where the particular crime took place. This track will live in the "Crime Classics" Playlist

A group of gypsies migrates from Hungary to Rutland, VT in the middle to late 1800's. They make baskets and brooms and the men swear to marry a gypsy woman to have children. If they do not marry in their "tribe" they must die. Three of the men took the oath to marry within their tribe, but a "Widow McGee" draws them to her... and she is NOT in their tribe. (Fandango is a celebration with dancing, music, etc.) This story will live in the Crime Classics" Playlist. Elliot Lewis is director and researcher... this is a true story. Lou Merrill plays Thomas Hyland, the narrator of the story.

Love is in the air, but in these old time radio mysteries romance leads to violence. First, Marlene Dietrich's boyfriend takes the rap for a murder she committed in "The Lady from the Sea" from The Philip Morris Playhouse (originally aired on CBS on March 11, 1949). Next, as Ranger Jayce Pearson, Joel McCrea hunts an armed robber who targets couples in Lover's Lane in "Nighthawk" (originally aired on NBC on March 30, 1952). Finally, we'll head back to England in 1684 for "John & Judith - Their Crime, and Why They Didn't Get to Enjoy It," a true story of love and murder from Crime Classics (originally aired on CBS on December 16, 1953).

A bonanza of shows this Sunday! Host David brings us Sonic Society #805, Valentine's Knight from Benjamin Peel, Flash Gordon #8 from Mindspring Players, Project Audion's #51- Crime Classics, and Mutual Presents #5.29- Superman!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Project Audion returns with a new thriller! The first woman executed for murder in the United States was hanged in 1778. In 1953 her shocking tale of love, hate, conspiracy, and murder was brought to life in the audition script for a new CBS radio drama series - "Crime Classics." Crime Classics was a sort of mid-century predecessor to today's true-crime podcasts. The audition episode, titled "The Crime of Bathsheba Spooner," featured some of radio's finest actors, writers, directors, and musicians. Unfortunately, this thoughtful adult true crime series only lasted a year before succumbing to the inexorable advance of television. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Thanks to our Mysterious Listener Emmett whose enthusiasm for Crime Classics brings us to the Listener Library for an episode entitled "The Crime of Bathsheba Spooner!" Based on the true story of the first woman to be executed in the United States, the script depicts her plot to murder her own husband. How did the man really die? Who all would suffer the consequences? Did Joshua do a whole bunch of extra research do put the story in an even darker context? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!
