The Man Called X - Carbon Fourteen

Old Time Radio Mysteries

From a small office in the Physics Building at a University near Los Angeles, a man is making a long distance call to New York. A call that could affect the lives of millions of people. The man says "Hello, is that you Mr. Thurston?" Ken says "That's right, who's calling?" The man says "My name is Bill Wilson. I'm a physics instructor out here at the University. You don't know me but things are happening out here. Mr. Thurston, you've got to fly to Los Angeles today." Ken says "Oh, suppose you offer some inducements, Wilson, such as why?" Wilson says "Have you ever heard of Carbon 14? Would it mean anything to you if I said that a lot of it has been disappearing out here?" Ken says "Go on Wilson" Wilson says "Well, I'm afraid to talk freely over the phone, Mr. Thurston, but I can tell you this, the Carbon 14..." Suddenly, two shots rang out. Ken says "Wilson, what's happened there? Hello, Wilson, can you hear me? Hello?"
