Season 4 - Episode 5
Originally aired - October 15, 1960
The Case of the Podcast is a Perry Mason Fan Podcast. We love and enjoy episodes from a tv show from the late 1950’s and early 1960. It’s so old, it was filmed in Black & White.
This is an episode from season 5 that we are choosing at random using a random number generator. We will be choosing our episodes this way season by season. We’re excited by this new process which will give each season a chance to shine.

Pat Breslin was a fellow Marylander at least for part of her life and she was a philanthropist. Breslin married Art Modell in 1969. Art Modell was the owner of the Cleveland Browns which later became the Baltimore Ravens. They relocated to Owings Mills, Maryland in 1995, which is a suburb of Baltimore. They donated $5 million to the SEED School of Maryland, a public boarding school for the disadvantaged. They also donated $3.5 million to help restore the Lyric Opera House, which is a Baltimore venue. Breslin served on the boards of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the Walters Art Museum and also donated to the Baltimore Museum of Art.
