He was identified as Frank Gannon ninety eight ninety six
wasat Street, Kansas City, Missouri. When we got the headquarters.
We had Gannon taken to the interrogation room, where we
questioned him briefly. He told us that he was a
self employed watch salesman, that he was in the city
on a business trip.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
He admitted friendship with Knight, but not with Vickers.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
We booked him at the Cotty Jail for assault with

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Finally had been identified Vance Taylor alias Raymond Knight. Well,
that still didn't explain the unprovoked murders. He didn't explain
the four guns found in the car or the three
guns found in the hotel room. An assortment of arms
like that could mean something big, But we didn't know
what Cannon's sudden willingness.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
To shoot it out in the hotel meant something too.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
We didn't know what we had.

h What are you gonna do? Nothing? Just kill a

Speaker 4 (19:47):
I haven't un wrapped him yet, Joe. You wanna check
me out?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Okay, open them up, give him a good shuffle. You're
gonna have some time on your hands again. I want
to learn a new card game. Nat yourself.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
It's a good game for two, better with three?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Got a lot of coins? Yeah, we got two decks there.
First off, this game is quite a bit like Jen Rummy. Yeah,
there are eight of every suit four jokers. Jokers count
of fifty points. Red three is kind of one hundred
points each. If you get a black three, you can
freeze the deck. I see I shouldn't say deck. In
(20:30):
this game they call it.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
The pack pack. What's the pack? It's the discard pile,
same as in gym. You get a red three, you
can freeze. No, it's a black three. Well, what happens
when you freeze?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Nobody can pick it up? I see, all right, let's
do a lot of dummy hand here. Fine Gamegan, I'm
sure you won't change your mind.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
You didn't want to play you all right? Now? I'm
two handed. You do a lot fifteen cards? See how many?
Can play as many as six? I think I've only
played up to four. You play partners with four? Yeah,
that's fair, Okay, count your cards. I think it's fifteen.
There's fine fifteen right now? Now? What I do?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Well, I guess you better let your hand open. That'll
be the easiest way to show you.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Okay, I'll spread them all out over there. Well, you
don't have a great hand there. You've got a couple
of black threes. You can use those. Yeah, it's fine.
They kind of hundred to peg. No, no, no, those
are red threes. Black threes don't count anything. Oh, red three,
that's right. Do you remember what black threes are for?
You can use them to freeze the pile pack. That's right,
(21:37):
the pack. Well, you know what I mean right now? Look,
you see I got a joker here. Jokers are wild.
Do you remember how much they count? And they're wild?
One hundred points? You No, red threes are worth a
hundred jokers count fifty. You don't explain it very good.
I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
How simple can it be? Again, it's not even playing.
You get it, don't you get him?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Okay, red threes kind of hundred, jokers count fifty. Black
threes you can fire. You can freeze the pi the pack.
Yeah good, now hold on of that with it. Now.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
Black threes freeze the pack. But that's not the only
card that.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Can do it.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
No, No deuces can do the same thing. But you
see the only difference is if you use a deuce,
which is also wild, you have to have a natural
pair in order to pick up the pack. Now with
a black three, it's I knew it good until I
knew it wouldn't work.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It was sour right from the starts. Vickers kills cop.
I'm I'm taking no reps, Johnny the stenographer. All right, Kennon,

Speaker 3 (19:17):
We'll providy again. The officers are on their way in now.
They're gonna put Night in the next room. You can
listen to him.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Look, I came here to sell watches.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I ain't in this Jannon, You and Vickers a night.
We're planning a job, a big one. We know that
if you want a way to get on the witness
stand to tell your story, it's all right with us.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Didn't take too long to break this one smoke. Joe, Yeah, thanks, yeah,
h What are you gonna do? Nothing? Just kill a
little time. They bring in Knight.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
You haven't got Night.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I haven't un wrapped him yet, Joe. You wanna check
me out?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Okay, open them up, give him a good shuffle. You're
gonna have some time on your hands again. I want
to learn a new card game. Nat yourself.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
It's a good game for two, better with three?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Got a lot of coins? Yeah, we got two decks there.
First off, this game is quite a bit like Jen Rummy. Yeah,
there are eight of every suit four jokers. Jokers count
of fifty points. Red three is kind of one hundred
points each. If you get a black three, you can
freeze the deck. I see I shouldn't say deck. In
(20:30):
this game they call it.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
The pack pack. What's the pack? It's the discard pile,
same as in gym. You get a red three, you
can freeze. No, it's a black three. Well, what happens
when you freeze?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Nobody can pick it up? I see, all right, let's
do a lot of dummy hand here. Fine Gamegan, I'm
sure you won't change your mind.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
You didn't want to play you all right? Now? I'm
two handed. You do a lot fifteen cards? See how many?
Can play as many as six? I think I've only
played up to four. You play partners with four? Yeah,
that's fair, Okay, count your cards. I think it's fifteen.
There's fine fifteen right now? Now? What I do?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Well, I guess you better let your hand open. That'll
be the easiest way to show you.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Okay, I'll spread them all out over there. Well, you
don't have a great hand there. You've got a couple
of black threes. You can use those. Yeah, it's fine.
They kind of hundred to peg. No, no, no, those
are red threes. Black threes don't count anything. Oh, red three,
that's right. Do you remember what black threes are for?
You can use them to freeze the pile pack. That's right,
(21:37):
the pack. Well, you know what I mean right now? Look,
you see I got a joker here. Jokers are wild.
Do you remember how much they count? And they're wild?
One hundred points? You No, red threes are worth a
hundred jokers count fifty. You don't explain it very good.
I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
How simple can it be? Again, it's not even playing.
You get it, don't you get him?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Okay, red threes kind of hundred, jokers count fifty. Black
threes you can fire. You can freeze the pi the pack.
Yeah good, now hold on of that with it. Now.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
Black threes freeze the pack. But that's not the only
card that.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Can do it.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
No, No deuces can do the same thing. But you
see the only difference is if you use a deuce,
which is also wild, you have to have a natural
pair in order to pick up the pack. Now with
a black three, it's I knew it good until I
knew it wouldn't work.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
It was sour right from the starts. Vickers kills cop.
I'm I'm taking no reps, Johnny the stenographer. All right, Kennon,

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.
