May 2, 1963 [179] "The Case of
the Skeleton's Closet"
Director Arthur Marks
TeleplaySamuel Newman
Richard Harris is the author of Dishonored:
The True Story of Community, an exposé of Cliffside
Heights. The citizens are so incensed about the book that
a group of them hire Perry to sue Harris for libel. Perry
works out an out-of-court settlement, but Harris has some
hold over his publisher, Albert McCann, who reneges on
the deal.
When Harris is killed, Perry finds
himself back in court with another murder trial. The
defendant is Cliffside Heights resident Margaret Layton.
She was once married to Harris and desperately wants to
keep her children from learning who their father is. The
police think that's a sufficient motive for murder.
