CAIN" S HI NDRLl) — I he insidiousness of modern criminal opera
tions in America is exposed in documentary fashion on this new full
hour police-adventure series seen Thursdays at 10 on KI'AK-TV
Channel 2. The program stars newcomer Mark itichman in the role
ot Nicholas Cain, a former gangland attorney who, under federal
mandate, sets out to bring to justice the nation’s top 100 crime lead
ers. Itichman is shown above with Janet Lake, guest star of an
episode.
MEDIC FACES MURDER RAP
Sam Jaffe, Alexander Scourby
and Murray Hamilton star in “The
Bedside Murder.” story of a doctor
charged with poisoning an elderly
patient who dies shortly after re
ceiving an overdose of morphine,
on “The Defenders" Saturday at 8
on KTVF, Channel Eleven.
Emily Van liaalt, the elderly pa
tient, dies as her son Peter and
nurse Keever look on helplessly.
Peter charges the attending physi
cian, Dr. Graham, with murder.
Lawrence Preston agrees to defend
Graham, at the request of John 1
Wellman, who is Mrs. Van Raalt's
lawyer. Graham quickly convinces 1
Preston of his integrity, his inno
cence and his competence.
Nurse Keever testifies that Dr.
Graham prescribed a lethal dose of
morphine which the autopsy has
established as the' qause of death,
and that this prescription had tt>en
communicated to her by the ofi)ier
nurse on the case, Barhhra Coley'. '
The district attorney's questioning
of Miss Keever and a medical ex
pert on drugs covers in detail the
use and effects of morphine for pa
tients who are in pain as a result
of a stroke (as in the case of Mrs.
Van Raalt).
Additional testimony establishes
that Mrs. Van Raalt had made a be
quest in her will of $100,000 to Dr.
Graham and a similar bequest to
■John Wellman. Examining Peter
Van Raalt, Lawrence Preston points
out that he would obviously re
ceive an additional S100.000 if Dr.
Graham were adjudged guilty.
During a court recess, Ken Pres
ton orders a private investigator to
report on Barbara Corey, because
he has noticed Miss Corey w'earing
a mink coat and driving an ex
pensive car—luxuries beyond the
means of the average nurse. The in
vestigator's report reveals that Miss
Cores lives in a fashionable apart
ment where she has been frequent
ly visited by John Wellman.
Since the Wellmans are his close
personal friends, Lawrence Preston
is torn by the need to bring out this
damaging evidence in court. How
ever, he does so in order to save
Graham's life.
He questions both Wellman and
Barbara Corey on the stand and
establishes .that Jkliss Corey was
married to a man who refused to
give her a divorce unless paid
$50,000, and that she and Wellman
had plotted to obtain this money
by doing away with Mrs. Van Raalt
with an increased dosage of mor
phine which Miss Corey could ac
cuse Dr, Graham of prescribing.
Wellman had planned to eliminate
part of the evidence by inserting in
Mrs. Van Raalt’s wdll a clause re
questing cremation.
