Indictment was a late 1950s program on CBS was produced in New York City. It was written by radio veteran Allan Sloane (best known for The Big Story on radio and television) with Lipsky. The program and was known for employing an integrated cast that represented the ethnic diversity of the characters in the story and the City. The program was directed by Peter Roberts, who would become the first director of Suspense after it returned to New York after 17 years in Hollywood. Roberts re-used at least three Indictment scripts in his year as director of Suspense . Few Indictment episodes have survived, and all of them are airchecks from home recordings made on consumer reel-to-reel equipment. This means that the audio quality of the programs are not very good... and can only offer a small indication of the better quality of this series production had compared to others of its time. * * * These recordings are part of the Joe Hehn Memorial Collection.
