Speaker 1 (05:50):
What if you have a serial little on the radio.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
But anyfore uh uh, never paying any attention and things

Speaker 1 (05:57):

Speaker 1 (06:21):
And go to a big dinner. My wife's play him.
So I used it. So I didn't even laugh about it. Huh.
I was just thinking, maybe I'll I was the last
laugh on my wife's brother.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But U he was coming to dinner.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Further examination of the kitchen child that about twenty forms
of food had been taken and just tasted looked to
the rest of the house, but he said he didn't
think anything else was missing, Like the time Trader said
he was fairly sure there were no clothes in the
closets when it burned. Men from the crime lab bore
hi out and took pictures of the window and also
of the places of origin of the fire. A detail
from Mike and Prince checked the house. Frank and I
(07:01):
questioned people in the neighborhood, but none of them had
seen or heard anyone around the taft house before the
fire started. Inspectistrator said he would notify our office of
all similar house fires. The next night we got a
report from Late and Prince. They said the Prince they'd
lifted from the tap Home belonged to members of the family.
Ray Pinker sent word over from the crime labs that
the marks from the windows bill had been made by
(07:21):
a half inch try bar. On November tenth, we got
another call from Inspectistrator and we went out to twenty
seven twenty five we forty ninth Street. By ten twenty
six pm we had completed our inspection of the burned
interior of the house and we talked to the owners.
Pretty much like the Lampler paying more damning this time though.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah, I'm gonna report different fire stid of this house.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Hu huh, same entry, bedroom, window going articles just about
the same. Huh. I don't get that.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Fine, how's that Frank step the stones?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I'm axiged to it after jewelry closed food portable radio.
You think anyone that goes out of the limb like
this to try to make it word as while not
a must of conject we will start to sport. You
know one thing that might help us. We don't have
put that to serial numbers. You know, people could just
give us the numbers on the radios others go on
privaty would have something definite to look for. I know
(08:11):
it's a lot to ask, but if they could just
do that, And I said, what do you estimates the
file off to be here?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
A couple of thousand dollars. I hope the crime Labry Lake.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
And Trince can come up with a lead to give
your fellow something concrete will work with and we.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Your air time.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
What do you think, Joe the same person?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, it might be too early to say, but the
fires are in the same neighborhood, similar to my hope.
Chances are there that it's the same one, you know. Uh,
keeps up. Somebody's liably get hurt. We haven't got too
muses on probably got a place discars Huh, we know
he's got some matches. Frank and I question the neighbors,
(08:46):
but we fail to get any useful information. Lake and
Prince were unable to come up with anything. The crime
lab reported the window had been forced by a one
half inch trive bar. Within the next three weeks, despite
our efforts, six more fires and burglary occurred. In each case,
the same MO was used. We had sent teletypes to
CII and all points requesting information on any person who
(09:08):
would use the same MO. The staff's officers moving running.
No an archenists were set, parn shops and second hand
stores were notified, but we still had no definite lead.
That's the identity of the archmist burgers. We seted a
tin map to see if a directional trend would develop.
Eight fifty seven pm went seconds. We were checking a
map with Sergeant Rex Soulsers and they kneed to We'll
(09:31):
always had a few burglaries further west up in here
with no fires. How about the mumt pane bedroom window entry,
same type article stolen. You know this operator is really
a whig. Take a look at this list of items
that have been taken.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Dog food, baby clothes, golf balls, tennis balls, camping.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Equipment, and a phonograph that's claiman certain tennis balls are
initials I think by the owner.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
He said he could identify him. Details have been second
playgrounds for him. I guess you're pretty well covered every.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Angle then, yeah, that's yeah, that's the mental.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Leto and the fire department have been on steak out
in areas where fires have occurred. They've runned down a
lot of leads, but we haven't come up with anything
to date. You know, how about prints? Now? How many
will give us any policies? I guess you're switching them
own something to be thankful for them. The guy that's
still out breathing the same airs with you, Yeah, I
know it bothers you, but you're doing your best.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
You can't ask them more because.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Of some of these families would have been burned out,
and you see wish you could. Yeah, now you feel
the guy hasn't cintified in one fire house, He's set
as many as six in one place because of those
red tins Gogo Burgary Olsen. Uh huh, what's that? A
best one? Nine oh four West fifty six.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Right, yeah, there was me.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Now yeah Burglary, here's the address. Anything else, yeah, another
red ten. We drove out to the address on fiftieth Street.
Like the other home hit by the archmist Burger, it
was a small one story house. Inspectistrator showed us where
(11:09):
five fires had been started. The main bombage was in
the rear of the building and they had been made
through a bedroom window. We called the crime lab and
Lady Prince, the owner, a mister Clinton Bates, arrived and
checked the missing property. Ten twenty seventy one. We go
into the living room.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Well, right off hand, I say, nothing was missing in here,
welter as possible.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
He just didn't table it was the mi room. When
he said that, said, well, no fire was started in
the wold. We found another home. The Burger usually starts
a fire and rumble.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
He takes up and see the list the base.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, I thought of this messing, he said it was
an initial.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Let's get I guess my wife for a birthday was
money gram, LCB and gold letter wasn't really censive. In fact,
nothing that was taken. Was it too much value? Why
should a person go to the trouble of breaking a
house to feel comic books? It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And then you said your daughter's name was written on
the book. Yeah. Wife always writes the name Carol on him.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
You know how kids trade him back and forth him.
My daughter takes after him. Mother.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I never wants to throw anything away.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
I've had over one hundred County books. I because a
lot of times I wish he had taken And then
just lest the house way it was without seven the fires.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So we understand now about the coins that were taken. Yeah,
this is the first call that any money has been stolen.
But what did he take?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
About two dollars worth of coins? How much to help
you theirs? Eh?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yes, as it might be, there are American coins that
all will be spent. The fact that they're old they
give us a lead if somebody tried to set them
and send them along set in it. Yes, there. Maybe
this person hasn't given us much choice, but you hope
he could give us the dates on the coins.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
And I can't, but my wife may be able to.
They belong to her, Like I told him.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
She never gets through of anything.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
She got him from an ass a couple of three
weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I told her ever since they were.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Old, they might be worth more than just a regular value.
So she took him to sum shop, you know where they.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Handle old money. Man.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I told her they want the demand only worth.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
In the old dieme. Whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I made a change the cigarettes one day, but she
wouldn't get them to me anything. Okay, John SIPs, so
you can see the junctter in the gents. Think you
can get those dates for us and try, But like
I said, if the person that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Did this is just forgot about the firefights and guided out.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Some of the other junks had been doing me a
big favorite.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
As but they don't have that in mind.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
We need to help anybody.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
We got the thesistant in the dates of the coins
from Missus Bates. All officers were given the information from
our pen map. We figured our suspects might have lived
near Simaran Streets and Running Avenue. We spent several days
contacting all the businesses in that vicinity and gave each
owner a complete disciption of the coins. We asked them
to get a lifless number or address of any person
that might pass them and to call us right away.
(13:42):
In the meantime, Liking Prince sent word from the window
ledge as the home of the last burglary and fire,
that they had lifted several queen prints. Five days went
by Monday, December seventh, a store owner called us regarding
the coins. Frank and I drew out to the corner
of Simaran Street and forty third Place, a small neighborhood
variety store. Pat is right the other day.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Oh well, a good man until I get my glasses
on by trying a new glass coming on him just
before you kill me in I don't see much about
him anymore. Yes, oh surely. And I remember you you

Well, it's a good thing. I have my glasses on
about an hour, though.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
What do you mean, ma'am?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
When I got those coins? I think, guys, maybe I
wouldn't have noticed.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Then you took them some money, offering you to skipt them.
We go.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
It didn't first customer this morning, I just maybe that's

only doing my duty as I see you your many
trying to get paying down. It's the city than I see.
It's my job to help you anyway.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I says, I wonder if we might see the coin.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Okay, I'll get them to you.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
When I saw that they were out all his money left,
he told me about I just get them in the
registery Oh, I know I propped them to be played back.
I keep kill me again. See that's bad, that is,
don't mit hm too right? Fine, I didn't want to

Speaker 1 (15:36):
For we are bad man, No, not always.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
That's sixteen long, prince, and I got these some couldn't
be the one you find. Why do you say that
it was a little girl about nine years old?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Evelyn Cooley, the owner told us that when the little
girls left, he followed her to a house about three
blocks away. We gave her a receipt of the coins
and drove over to twenty two to sixteen West forty third,
twice the address he's given us. Frank drove past the
house slowly and we saw nineteen forty pmister Dan parked
in the driveway. On the second trip, I got the
license number of the vehicle. We called the office and
(16:27):
they sent out another team to stake out the place.
We went back to the office and called the MV.
They gave us the name Lyndon Granger as a legal owner.
We checked the name to I and I and found
that he had five arrests for Burgerley as a juvenile.
To call Lake and Prince and asked him to tech
the fingerprints found at the house on fiftieth Street. Ten
thirty seven am when they're gonna call so they have
(16:48):
signed a second thirly. I guess I was just thinking, Joe,
what happens to things? There? Isn't our boy? Why I
think it's kind of easy to figure. Don't you find
out where the girl got the calling? Yeah, I was
thinking about it, said, you know what that should mean?
More footwork. I'm telling you, Joe, I haven't put on
so many miles if I work traffic and you have
to tell me, what do you mean all these milegies
(17:10):
talk about Oh yeah, I was really remember. Yeah, I know, Joe,
But after all, I'm carrying a few more pounds than
you are. That is it makes a big difference, you
know how it is when you go deer hunting. No,
it's to think, I don't I never go well when
you're carrying a rifle, never carry one. Well, when you
go deer hunting, and you do carry a rifle, you
start out in the morning, the rifle doesn't weigh much
(17:31):
at all. It doesn't now, I mean it doesn't feel
to have it. But along time the end of the day,
and those few pounds feel like twenty. That's the way
it is. The extra pounds I carry around bagally faddy, Yeah,
let see one two of them. Good but obey fighting
(17:56):
prints Yeah, Grangers prints, uh huh. They made him on
the last job. The fact that Granger's princes tied him
and with the last fire burgually was enough to get
a complaint, but we wanted an air type steam. We
decided to follow us as thinks. That night another team
was set out to leave the steak out on his home.
(18:17):
When Granger left the house for eight on nine pm,
Frank and I were behind him. The other team remained
at the house. We followed him for about an hour
nine thirteen pm. Well thanks, John, stick with him, all right,
we better get one away from home. Before he was
basking us to get an o Storian. Yeah, it's blown down.

portable on the shof right over there.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Wife likes to listening toose daytime programs while she's working
on something more to plan for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What if you have a serial little on the radio.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
But anyfore uh uh, never paying any attention and things
like that. Anyway, I got a secondhand.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
It wasn't worth much. It played good though, I say, good,
Look you know what something else does?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Well all that really does it?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
But that's and that guy said off good he stole

Speaker 1 (06:21):
And go to a big dinner. My wife's play him.
So I used it. So I didn't even laugh about it. Huh.
I was just thinking, maybe I'll I was the last
laugh on my wife's brother.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But U he was coming to dinner.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Further examination of the kitchen child that about twenty forms
of food had been taken and just tasted looked to
the rest of the house, but he said he didn't
think anything else was missing, Like the time Trader said
he was fairly sure there were no clothes in the
closets when it burned. Men from the crime lab bore
hi out and took pictures of the window and also
of the places of origin of the fire. A detail
from Mike and Prince checked the house. Frank and I
(07:01):
questioned people in the neighborhood, but none of them had
seen or heard anyone around the taft house before the
fire started. Inspectistrator said he would notify our office of
all similar house fires. The next night we got a
report from Late and Prince. They said the Prince they'd
lifted from the tap Home belonged to members of the family.
Ray Pinker sent word over from the crime labs that
the marks from the windows bill had been made by
(07:21):
a half inch try bar. On November tenth, we got
another call from Inspectistrator and we went out to twenty
seven twenty five we forty ninth Street. By ten twenty
six pm we had completed our inspection of the burned
interior of the house and we talked to the owners.
Pretty much like the Lampler paying more damning this time though.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah, I'm gonna report different fire stid of this house.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Hu huh, same entry, bedroom, window going articles just about
the same. Huh. I don't get that.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Fine, how's that Frank step the stones?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I'm axiged to it after jewelry closed food portable radio.
You think anyone that goes out of the limb like
this to try to make it word as while not
a must of conject we will start to sport. You
know one thing that might help us. We don't have
put that to serial numbers. You know, people could just
give us the numbers on the radios others go on
privaty would have something definite to look for. I know
(08:11):
it's a lot to ask, but if they could just
do that, And I said, what do you estimates the
file off to be here?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
A couple of thousand dollars. I hope the crime Labry Lake.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
And Trince can come up with a lead to give
your fellow something concrete will work with and we.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Your air time.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
What do you think, Joe the same person?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, it might be too early to say, but the
fires are in the same neighborhood, similar to my hope.
Chances are there that it's the same one, you know. Uh,
keeps up. Somebody's liably get hurt. We haven't got too
muses on probably got a place discars Huh, we know
he's got some matches. Frank and I question the neighbors,
(08:46):
but we fail to get any useful information. Lake and
Prince were unable to come up with anything. The crime
lab reported the window had been forced by a one
half inch trive bar. Within the next three weeks, despite
our efforts, six more fires and burglary occurred. In each case,
the same MO was used. We had sent teletypes to
CII and all points requesting information on any person who
(09:08):
would use the same MO. The staff's officers moving running.
No an archenists were set, parn shops and second hand
stores were notified, but we still had no definite lead.
That's the identity of the archmist burgers. We seted a
tin map to see if a directional trend would develop.
Eight fifty seven pm went seconds. We were checking a
map with Sergeant Rex Soulsers and they kneed to We'll
(09:31):
always had a few burglaries further west up in here
with no fires. How about the mumt pane bedroom window entry,
same type article stolen. You know this operator is really
a whig. Take a look at this list of items
that have been taken.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Dog food, baby clothes, golf balls, tennis balls, camping.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Equipment, and a phonograph that's claiman certain tennis balls are
initials I think by the owner.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
He said he could identify him. Details have been second
playgrounds for him. I guess you're pretty well covered every.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Angle then, yeah, that's yeah, that's the mental.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Leto and the fire department have been on steak out
in areas where fires have occurred. They've runned down a
lot of leads, but we haven't come up with anything
to date. You know, how about prints? Now? How many
will give us any policies? I guess you're switching them
own something to be thankful for them. The guy that's
still out breathing the same airs with you, Yeah, I
know it bothers you, but you're doing your best.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
You can't ask them more because.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Of some of these families would have been burned out,
and you see wish you could. Yeah, now you feel
the guy hasn't cintified in one fire house, He's set
as many as six in one place because of those
red tins Gogo Burgary Olsen. Uh huh, what's that? A
best one? Nine oh four West fifty six.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Right, yeah, there was me.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Now yeah Burglary, here's the address. Anything else, yeah, another
red ten. We drove out to the address on fiftieth Street.
Like the other home hit by the archmist Burger, it
was a small one story house. Inspectistrator showed us where
(11:09):
five fires had been started. The main bombage was in
the rear of the building and they had been made
through a bedroom window. We called the crime lab and
Lady Prince, the owner, a mister Clinton Bates, arrived and
checked the missing property. Ten twenty seventy one. We go
into the living room.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Well, right off hand, I say, nothing was missing in here,
welter as possible.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
He just didn't table it was the mi room. When
he said that, said, well, no fire was started in
the wold. We found another home. The Burger usually starts
a fire and rumble.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
He takes up and see the list the base.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, I thought of this messing, he said it was
an initial.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Let's get I guess my wife for a birthday was
money gram, LCB and gold letter wasn't really censive. In fact,
nothing that was taken. Was it too much value? Why
should a person go to the trouble of breaking a
house to feel comic books? It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And then you said your daughter's name was written on
the book. Yeah. Wife always writes the name Carol on him.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
You know how kids trade him back and forth him.
My daughter takes after him. Mother.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I never wants to throw anything away.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
I've had over one hundred County books. I because a
lot of times I wish he had taken And then
just lest the house way it was without seven the fires.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So we understand now about the coins that were taken. Yeah,
this is the first call that any money has been stolen.
But what did he take?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
About two dollars worth of coins? How much to help
you theirs? Eh?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yes, as it might be, there are American coins that
all will be spent. The fact that they're old they
give us a lead if somebody tried to set them
and send them along set in it. Yes, there. Maybe
this person hasn't given us much choice, but you hope
he could give us the dates on the coins.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
And I can't, but my wife may be able to.
They belong to her, Like I told him.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
She never gets through of anything.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
She got him from an ass a couple of three
weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I told her ever since they were.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Old, they might be worth more than just a regular value.
So she took him to sum shop, you know where they.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Handle old money. Man.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I told her they want the demand only worth.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
In the old dieme. Whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I made a change the cigarettes one day, but she
wouldn't get them to me anything. Okay, John SIPs, so
you can see the junctter in the gents. Think you
can get those dates for us and try, But like
I said, if the person that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Did this is just forgot about the firefights and guided out.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Some of the other junks had been doing me a
big favorite.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
As but they don't have that in mind.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
We need to help anybody.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
We got the thesistant in the dates of the coins
from Missus Bates. All officers were given the information from
our pen map. We figured our suspects might have lived
near Simaran Streets and Running Avenue. We spent several days
contacting all the businesses in that vicinity and gave each
owner a complete disciption of the coins. We asked them
to get a lifless number or address of any person
that might pass them and to call us right away.
(13:42):
In the meantime, Liking Prince sent word from the window
ledge as the home of the last burglary and fire,
that they had lifted several queen prints. Five days went
by Monday, December seventh, a store owner called us regarding
the coins. Frank and I drew out to the corner
of Simaran Street and forty third Place, a small neighborhood
variety store. Pat is right the other day.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Oh well, a good man until I get my glasses
on by trying a new glass coming on him just
before you kill me in I don't see much about
him anymore. Yes, oh surely. And I remember you you
telling them about.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
The way of money.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yes, ma'am, that's that we got your call.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Well, it's a good thing. I have my glasses on
about an hour, though.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
What do you mean, ma'am?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
When I got those coins? I think, guys, maybe I
wouldn't have noticed.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Then you took them some money, offering you to skipt them.
We go.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
It didn't first customer this morning, I just maybe that's

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Evelyn Cooley, the owner told us that when the little
girls left, he followed her to a house about three
blocks away. We gave her a receipt of the coins
and drove over to twenty two to sixteen West forty third,
twice the address he's given us. Frank drove past the
house slowly and we saw nineteen forty pmister Dan parked
in the driveway. On the second trip, I got the
license number of the vehicle. We called the office and
(16:27):
they sent out another team to stake out the place.
We went back to the office and called the MV.
They gave us the name Lyndon Granger as a legal owner.
We checked the name to I and I and found
that he had five arrests for Burgerley as a juvenile.
To call Lake and Prince and asked him to tech
the fingerprints found at the house on fiftieth Street. Ten
thirty seven am when they're gonna call so they have

you're carrying a rifle, never carry one. Well, when you
go deer hunting, and you do carry a rifle, you
start out in the morning, the rifle doesn't weigh much

decided to follow us as thinks. That night another team
was set out to leave the steak out on his home.

Frank and I were behind him. The other team remained
at the house. We followed him for about an hour

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.
