the car with the girls in it, and they were
out of gases all down the hill or would have

really making a headway about all we know? Is there
in town? Yeah, it's a good size town right now.
It's the biggest in the world. Seven pm. We knew
(14:18):
the four gunmen were in town. We knew they'd been seen.
We figured there was no reason for him to skip
town until they pulled a job or heard that we
were looking for them. Time was in their favor. Time
to rob, time to kill, time to get away. The
check of the hotels continued. We left Frank O'donald, Tony
Tavis on the steakout and Ben and I picked up
the hotel routine. One place after another, eight thirty pm,
(14:42):
we walked down a long, narrow lobby or a little
ball headed man at the desk and was wearing glasses
and reading a magazine called Astrology when we walked in
and tried to hide the bottle. Police officer, did you
take a look at these pictures? Please? What fo see
if you're going to identify? No, No, they don't look familiar

Speaker 8 (15:21):
Yes, I thinks uh I study faces, Yes, the same
now they hear.
Speaker 13 (15:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
I mean they're up for the evening.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I don't know. Are they registered here?
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Yes they are? What room are they expecting? You are listen?
Speaker 5 (15:37):
This is important just to answer the questions.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
What did they do?
Speaker 5 (15:40):

Speaker 5 (16:07):
Inch. Yeah, watch it. Maybe we're home lo hues Oristepia.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
They'll be back.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
You are listening to dragnet for the step by step
solution to an actual police case. Here, step by step
are the reasons why Fatima has more than doubled its smokers.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
From coast to coast. Step one, the name.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Fatima has always stood for the best in cigarette quality.
Step two, long cigarette smokers discover Fatima as a much different,
much better flavor and aroma. Step three, long cigarette smokers
find Fatima Extra mild. Fatima is the long cigarette which
contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, superbly blended to
(17:12):
make Fatima extra mile.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
And that's why more and more smokers every day agree.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yes, the name Fatima on that golden yellow package is
your insurance of an extra mile smoke.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
So enjoy king size Fatima, the best of all long cigarette.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
In the files of the Los Angeles Police Department, there
are countless case history that never got space in the
daily newspapers. The case of Cliff Small, George Shum, Julius Carver,
and Fred Mallick was one of these four yellow hoodlums
looked for a series of.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Robberies and petty burgery.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
These men were armed, and they'd shown that they wouldn't
hesitate to shoot. By comparison with the sensational crime headline,
the news value of this story rated an inch of
type on the fourth page of the second section. What
the line separating these four young thieves from banner headlines
and back page space is much thinner than the average
citizen Realizing the danger in a criminal case isn't always
(18:26):
determined by the space allotted to it in the newspapers.
Many a peace officer's name has appeared in the obituary
column of the same newspapers that allotted one inch of
back paid space to the crime story that was considered unimportant.
I phoned the office and asked for two men to.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Cover the stolen car. As soon as the replacements.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Arrived, Frank O'Donnell and Tony Chaves left the stake out
on the stolen car and joined us at the hotel.
Was eight fifty five pm.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
But when don't they do back any idea?
Speaker 13 (18:54):
Noo, sir?
Speaker 8 (18:55):

It's the biggest in the world. Seven pm. We knew
(14:18):
the four gunmen were in town. We knew they'd been seen.
We figured there was no reason for him to skip
town until they pulled a job or heard that we
were looking for them. Time was in their favor. Time
to rob, time to kill, time to get away. The
check of the hotels continued. We left Frank O'donald, Tony
Tavis on the steakout and Ben and I picked up
the hotel routine. One place after another, eight thirty pm,
(14:42):
we walked down a long, narrow lobby or a little
ball headed man at the desk and was wearing glasses
and reading a magazine called Astrology when we walked in
and tried to hide the bottle. Police officer, did you

You are listening to dragnet for the step by step
solution to an actual police case. Here, step by step
are the reasons why Fatima has more than doubled its smokers.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
From coast to coast. Step one, the name.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Fatima has always stood for the best in cigarette quality.
Step two, long cigarette smokers discover Fatima as a much different,
much better flavor and aroma. Step three, long cigarette smokers
find Fatima Extra mild. Fatima is the long cigarette which
contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, superbly blended to
(17:12):
make Fatima extra mile.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
And that's why more and more smokers every day agree.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yes, the name Fatima on that golden yellow package is
your insurance of an extra mile smoke.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
So enjoy king size Fatima, the best of all long cigarette.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
In the files of the Los Angeles Police Department, there
are countless case history that never got space in the
daily newspapers. The case of Cliff Small, George Shum, Julius Carver,
and Fred Mallick was one of these four yellow hoodlums
looked for a series of.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Robberies and petty burgery.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
These men were armed, and they'd shown that they wouldn't
hesitate to shoot. By comparison with the sensational crime headline,
the news value of this story rated an inch of
type on the fourth page of the second section. What
the line separating these four young thieves from banner headlines
and back page space is much thinner than the average
citizen Realizing the danger in a criminal case isn't always
(18:26):
determined by the space allotted to it in the newspapers.
Many a peace officer's name has appeared in the obituary
column of the same newspapers that allotted one inch of
back paid space to the crime story that was considered unimportant.
I phoned the office and asked for two men to.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Cover the stolen car. As soon as the replacements.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Arrived, Frank O'Donnell and Tony Chaves left the stake out
on the stolen car and joined us at the hotel.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
