1001 Stories For The Road

A maid witness a violet murder outside her window and identifies Mr. Hyde. 

This gothic horror story judged by many to be one of the best ever written, takes place in London when an attorney is made aware of the presence of a man named Hyde who has shown cruelty to a young girl he chanced to run into and tromp over on the street. The attorney slowly realizes that Mr. Hyde has an alternate personality- and one that is committing murders. The story esxplores the duality of human nature and the good and evil all human beings.

The old folk song and marching song "The Yellow Rose of Texas" is a song that, according to at least one researcher,  credits the actions of a very brave young lady who was kidnapped from her hotel in Texas by Santa Anna's forces as they marched toward an expected battle with Sam Houston's forces in the area of San Jacinto. As the legend goes, Texas spies alerted her and asked if she could find a way to delay Santa Anna for a few hours so they could prepare their attack- which she did- helping to gain independence for Texas.  The words "Yellow Rose", were originally taken from a black folk song in deference to the shade of her skin. Some take it as a slur for her mixed race origin- take note- that is not intended here.,  She was a hero to Texas and to many Americans who knew the origins of the song. Her name was Emily D.

Vance manages to find Ms. O'Dell's best girl chum and she reveals a mountain of information about O'Dell's boyfriends.

Markham and Vance narrow the suspects down to 4 men- but more imnportantly, Vance changes Markham's thinking about the nature of the suspect. Vance believes that robbery was not the motive- murder was the motive- and that the killer had planned this all out carefully for a long time. He also believes that Skein was present, hiding in the closet, and saw the murder through the keyhole.

Markham and Vance continue to question suspects but progress is slow. Finally, Vance suggests they go after Mannix- the only remaining love interest. Vance's theory places two men, unknown to each other, hiding in Ms.O'Dell's apartment the night of her murder.

A good lead directs Markheim to a neurologist who was seeing the Canary often at night, and, after beggining the interview in a haughty manner, he became extremely agitated nupon having to give the details of where he was the night of the murder.   Enjoy archives from all 12 1001 shows at www.1001bestof1001stories.com.

As the investigation continues, some breaks come to Markheim - notably, the man who dated Miss O'Dell on her last night comes forward and relates his story to the D.A., who knows him to be a reputable man.  Fingerprints come in showing that one man in the apartment that night had served time in at least 5 prisons- althouhg not for murder. 

Markham and his detective question the key witnesses while Vance observes, but still no answer as to how Ms. Odell's killer got in the apartment, unless he was hiding in there through the day- which the maid's testimony pretty well destroyed.

Betsy Ross is credited as being the seamstress who stitched our first "Stars and Stripes", but some historians say that there is no proof of it. The story was handed down through her family and shared by her grandson William Canby at a Philadephia celebration of our Declaration of Independence in 1876. Betsy Ross suffered the fate of many wives during the American Revolution, losing two husbands to the war. Her can-do attitude and her willingness to help her country in any way she could is still honored today.  Music by our friend Dusty Roads. Learn more about your ad choices.
