Boston Blackie - "Robertson Poisons Wife Beverly over the Telephone" (Old Time Radio, 1948)

Boston Blackie presents “Robertson Poisons Wife Beverly over the Telephone,” originally broadcast August 25, 1948. Episode 189 of the Richard Kollmar series, this Mutual-era syndicated mystery also circulated under titles including “Phone Call Brings Death” and “Long Distance Poison.”

After Beverly Robertson takes medicine following a telephone call from her husband, Tom, her death raises troubling questions—and Tom seems protected by a precisely timed alibi. Boston Blackie, with Mary Wesley and Inspector Farraday, probes a tense domestic mystery in which a phone call, a dose of medicine, and seemingly solid proof of innocence demand closer examination.

Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
