Takkies Spencer was a charming TV host. A daily segment of his show was a 'Man on the Street' quiz. After one particular episode, Takkies and three contestants were murdered. Henry Atkinson, a retired patent attorney, saw one man, Justin Upsom, fall out of a luggage carrier as dead people are wont to do.
