Hello and welcome to another episode of Nostologic Mystery Radio.

I'm your host Stevie Kay, and it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear.

For today's episode, I bring you Tales of the Texas Rangers, episode titled Room 114,

a version aired December 3rd, 1950, where a dead man was found in the Alamo motel that was killed by a ranch owner,

but he's also the corpse.

So sit back and relax,

and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio.

Thank you for listening. The National Broadcasting Company presents Joe McCray in Tales of the Texas Rangers.

Tonight transcribed from Hollywood another authentic reenactment of a case from the files of the Texas Rangers.

Tales of the Texas Rangers starring Joel McCrae as Ranger Jace Pearson.

Texas more than 260,000 square miles.

And 50 men who make up the most famous and oldest law enforcement party in North America. Now from the files of the Texas Rangers come these stories based on fact.

Only names, states, and places are fictitious for obvious reasons.

The events themselves are a matter of record.

Case for tonight, room 114. It is 4.47 p.m. the afternoon of October 29th, 1927.

Liz Ferris, a chambermaid at the Hotel Alamo in the town of Limpia, Texas, approaches Sam Bixby, the desk clip.

Mr. Bixby.

Oh, Liz, thought you went home. Can't see her the desk clip. Mr. Bixby. Hmm? Oh, Liz. I thought she went home. I can't see if they'll ever get home until I get the room's finished. And I still ain't been in room 114. 114? Mm-hmm. That's Mr. Boland's room. Oh, he went out a couple hours ago. Well, he left one of them, do not disturb, cards on his door just the same.

His key ain't in the box there. I looked before while you're sorting out the mail.

Well, he probably just forgot to leave his key. You got your past key. You can get in.

Well, how'd you know he didn't come back again without you seeing him? Suppose he's in there taking a bath.

All right, Liz. All right. Come on. I'll come back with you. Give me the keys.
