  "article": "Another Carlton Morse mystery serial… The identity of the murderer is an apparent variation on\nthe famous controversial solution to Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.\n“The scene of this new serial is laid in Holman, a village on the Marin county coast… In this\nserial Sergeant Long copes with a murder mystery and other criminal activities…”\n[WBZ] This series is a mystery, listed in the Boston papers under this title. The true explanation\nmay be that they did the ten-episode mystery serial of this name by Carlton E. Morse, then\nfollowed it up with scripts from the 1933-34 NBC series Ghost Stories.\nNow seems very likely; have newspaper listing from January 2, 1934 with WBZ doing “The Witch\nof Endor.”",
