Gettle Kidnapping Case
After wealthy William Mr. Gettle is kidnapped, the "biggest manhunt in the history of the Southwest" begins. In real life, Mr. Gettle was returned to his family just forty-eight hours ago. Mr. Gettle speaks after the drama, as does his attorney and friend (both may be impersonated). "William N. Robson worked unceasingly for thirty-six hours to make this broadcast possible."
