The inquiry also wanders off into the world of gay hustlers. This story is pre - AIDS, but that subculture does become part of the investigation.

Investigation into the death at the track takes some strange tangents. Corruption. Hints that the inquiry should be dropped.

The Homicide cop is glad to close the case, but he does not feel good about the man going to the chair. -- He feels that the man was insane. There follows a death at a race track. The investigators
conclude that this one was a suicide. But the widow petitions for further investigation, claiming that her husband was murdered.

Police procedural, focusing on a murder charge. A Homicide Investigator tracks down the victim's former roommate. He gains a confession, and the man is executed. Later, while investigating another death, the investigator learns that someone else was the killer, and that he had gotten a confession from an innocent man.

Thanks, Kid. The coven's standards for who should serve as Mother to the Awaited One: She had to be young, strong and not a virgin.

Correct at just over 190 Views, Kid. I remember Mr. Mustin as Beaver Cleaver's friend, the retired fireman. In another domestic comedy that I can't name right now he was on the Amusing Neighbor support list. Mr Mustin and Richard Deacon -- both tall, thin and balding -- played father and son. In the *Dragnet 1967* episode you identified (first aired Jan 9, 1969), I was rolling in the isle at the way he morphed into a Jack Webb clone, barking out dialogue like any other Dragnet cop.

Tannis root, anyone? In *Rosemary's Baby*, the plotters rid themselves of the less-worthy vessel when the more-suitable Rosemary became available.

Sixes, you named the series while I was fumbling with the latest clue. It should not be hard to name the guest. Lots of bigscreen and TV credits.

This guest star, in most of his appearances and series roles, was strictly in type. -- An elderly man, sometimes slow and confused. Retired fireman, somebody's grandpa, etc. These mannerisms were just right for the parts he usually played. In this story he was in his eighties, playing a man in his nineties.
An amusing aspect of the episode at hand is that the 91-year-old retired cop stood tall, was very self-assured, and spoke with authority. A charactistic of this series was that almost all the actors spoke up very plainly, delivered rapid-fire dialogue, and, amazingly, never overlapped their lines. It was one of the trademarks of the star-producer-director who ran the show. The guest star's delivery fit right in.
