Shortly before a man is almost certainly to be convicted of murder, a woman reports to the Highway Patrol that he couldn't possibly be guilty as she saw the real murderer and it was not the man on trial. A reporter overhears this and sends in a report to his paper and the paper publishes the story giving the woman's name and address. Come to find out the woman was lying in an effort to save the man on trial who was an old boyfriend of hers. But by dramatic coincidence, the real murderer reads and believes the newspaper story and sets out to kill the woman. It was interesting that the reporter got the woman's name and address off the car registration which at that time had to be attached to the steering wheel post of her car. I recall when that was required and am certainly glad that that practice is no longer used. This was a good episode.

*SPOILERS** I liked this one for several reasons. One- the chance that sometimes comes the way of people sometimes. Two- the way that Matthews realized very quickly that there was a serious reason WHY someone would want to remove a witness when the trial had gone to the jury. Three- How the murderer just couldn't stop himself from doing something so stupid as to try and get to the witness even when there were cops right there.

Innocent man is gonna have a life, and dirtbag gets the express lane to the Gas Chamber. Now, a lot of these stories are from the actual files of State Police across our land. I wonder: the guy who had been tried MUST have been informed who it was that started The Patrol looking into this case and ultimately clearing him. A REAL Happy Ending?
