The Shadow - The Circle of Death! (Youtube Series/Radio Recreation)
misscellanio for Commissioner Weston
A wealthy, self-important, middle-aged man who is the commissioner of New York City's police department.He is quite stubborn and firmly believes that The Shadow does not exists. However, in private he has acknowledged the vigilante's existence to Lamont Cranston.
[Using a Microphone] Gentlemen! Gentlemen! [The crowd become quiet] As I have explained to you every available resort of the Police Department, have been flown into capturing this fiend! Our bomb squads have combed the city, every known criminal with psychopathic tendencies have been rounded up and questioned. Not one fragment of a bomb has been found, no buildings have been damaged, no one person has been singled out or death, this is not an ordinary Crime! We are not dealing with an ordinary Criminal!
Wait a minute! Wait a Minute, hold on! What makes you think this man who calls himself The Shadow is interested in law and order?
Yes, he tipped us off occasionally. But It may have been to get rid of rivals! We have no insurance he isn’t a criminal himself![Annoyed] I was asked here to tell you what we’ve been doing! You seem to think my department works for the Shadow! We don’t! We never have! And as for the Shadow and you reporters, can spread it all over the front pages; I challenge him to uncover one single scrap of evidence that my men have over looked! I challenge the Shadow, to find this maniac!
I added a microphone effect just to make it more like the story.
