Crystal set owners with tender ears, keep a little light by the chair and set to decent order ere hearing what the Malone stones kept back; this recording cautions against the grim tale of Carlos Daley’s assault by Ed Yappel’s hard companions near Chateaugay; such villainous doings and jailhouse echoes may rattle nerves at a late hour.
SHATAGEE GITASKOG’S INN, UPPER CHATEAUGAY LAKE, N.Y., 5 April 2026.
On This Recording: The broadcast concerns assault, attempted robbery, jail disturbances, and testimony regarding figures seen in the Malone cells. Persons of tender nerves should not take it alone at a late hour.
The old case of Carlos Daley, set upon near Chateaugay by Ed Yappel and his hard companions, is brought forward again with a gravity that suits the season. From Daley’s darkened house to the stone belly of the Malone jail, the track appears plain enough at first, and then it takes to doubling.
There is talk here of a guard who heard no footstep, yet found frost upon an inner wall where no window stands. Another man, reading case notes by a weak lamp, put it this way: “Something was there before the lock was.” Such remarks do not improve the sleep of honest people.
Mr. Thaddeus Pell appears with his glass-and-wire apparatus, and the old name M’ak-wa-d’ak is set down beside the jail foundation. What, then, lies patient under a place built to hold the unruly?
Set your phones or crystal sets to decent order, keep a little light by the chair, and hear what the stones have kept back till now.
