But now, from May 17th, 1952, here is the Irene Hall murder case.
This is my beat, from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway's My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
It comes to every street and it comes to Broadway the single moment when daytime dies. When night is just across the street, the great shadow blows in from the river, scatters, finds a corner, a doorway, a face, layers them with chill and darkness. And then it happens. The drench of neon and spinning lights and glare. And for those who need it, high above, stars and the city moon. Broadway flips a cigarette into the gutter and runs into the night.
The End
The night was hours old where I was. It came sooner and stayed longer. Basement apartment, West 49th. And the simple statement from a frightened man. I don't care what you think. That girl lying there, I didn't kill her. I didn't strangle her. The fact that you called the police, Mr. Lehigh, is a point in your favor,
but... What do you think I'm playing with? Your game or something? A point in my
favor? A point? What are you talking about points for? I didn't kill her. You know who this girl is? Sure I do. Irene Hall. She's an entertainer. Oh? What do you mean, oh? What about it? I know
and entertain her. That makes me a murderer? She
was
a cute personality, and she attracted me, so I
made a date
with
her. How'd you happen to find her, Mr. Lehigh?
I had a date with her at 11 o'clock about a half hour ago. I
knocked on the door. I heard her crying out like she was being hurt. I kicked in the door. Come here. Come on, come on. Just step around here on that pocketbook on the floor. Yes. Lady's face part of my shoes already from that mess.
Feel
her cheek. Go ahead. Yes. Cold, huh? I'm going to tell you something. This girl's been dead for a couple of hours, at least that long.
Are you trying to trick me or something? I'm telling you, I heard her cry out. She was yelling for help.
You don't believe me, do you? You guys get a bang out of roughing up strangers. Nobody's roughing you up. I'm just asking you a few questions, that's all. Like how long you've been a stranger in town. A week, from Cleveland, the convention. Pat and Madison boys. I'm in vitamin concentrate. And this girl entertained at one of your meetings, is that right? Yes. Came right after the magician last night.
She did a Queen of Sheba. Got rolled out in a rug. A real cute personality.
What is the opening scene that sets the mystery of Irene Hall’s murder?
Now, look, mister. Whoever killed little Irene walked right out of that back door there to that courtyard. Then he walked away. Please,
don't ask me any more questions.
