6:26
up? Half block away? Bush? Where'd you get the gun? What?
6:30
You had a thirty two calip coat on your West? I didn't have
6:32
no gun was in your pocket when you were arrested. Let's see you're saying
6:42
say something about I mean man, you know, huh? What's up?
7:03
Telling dog? Ever? Here? A close twitty and bunch of let them?
7:05
Then? I don't think so? What is it? Microscopic priscillas that
7:11
causes bachelism? A form of food poison sounds like the blue plate special at
7:15
Charlie's Cafe. You never ate food poisoned by close titty and bunch of line.
7:21
The more you wouldn't be here that deadly, then it's practically one fatal
7:27
unless Santa thoxin is given in time. Even then more totally will run close
7:30
to sixty. Pleasant stuff to run into. Fortunately, it's comparatively rare,
7:36
only seven cases reported here in the past five years. What's our interest in
7:41
it now? All of those cases popped up in the last twenty four hours.
7:45
Man, three more suspected but not verified. It just been admitted to
7:48
seating off any fatalities. Three already did more respect to die for a warning.
7:55
How do you count for it that that's the trouble than I can't no
7:59
connection between these people, No, well it must be, so look for
8:03
yourself. Outside of Carl Walker and his young grandson has died of it,
8:09
all the others of some different families, different parts of the city. What
8:13
causes this food poisoning time? We're usually a poor job of home cannon food
8:20
sealed up tight before it's been boiled long enough to fill. That's just a
8:24
point, man. Maybe one family eats spoiled home can food, but not
8:28
six different families in different parts of the city in twenty four hours. That
8:31
makes sense unless somebody's deliberately spreading the poison stuff around town. That's why you're
8:37
here. Yeah, any idea at all what these people might have been eating,
8:41
who might be spreading it around? Nothing, that's the health You better
8:45
work fast then it's odorless and tasteless. Just to bite a food of that
8:48
stuff and it is enough the idea where you're going to start, man,
8:52
No, but I better come up with one in a hurry. Job like
9:05
this. That had enough is one day in a family, but too can't
9:11
be helped. I care for that reason that he h Yes, mister Walker.
9:24
Yes, that's right. We're police officers. Mister Walker. Could we
9:26
talk to you from an a plan? Well? Is it something important?
9:31
Officer? We're rather upset right now. Yes, we know, that's why
9:35
we're here. Oh, Bob, Bobby and my father. Yes, sir,
9:41
we won't take up much of your time. All right, thanks,
9:50
but there's no need to go. My wife when I hope it will be
9:54
necessary in this to walk. She's in the living room with some friends taking
10:00
pretty hard. Yes, in here, please go, are you you said
10:09
your police officer? Yes, I'm Lieutenant Guthrie. This is Sergeant Cogan.
10:11
All right, well, Lieutenant, I'm afraid I don't understand what the police
10:16
has to do with it. Well, we're trying to find out what happened
10:20
to your son and father, mister Walker. Well, it's simple enough,
10:24
isn't it. They eat something that food is poison. They did, and
10:26
it's not as simple as amos. Well what difference does it make? How
10:30
simple it is? My boy is dead and your pillion year isn't going to
10:33
bring you back to light. It might stop some other man's son from dying.
10:39
I'm sorry, how can I help you? Does your wife have any
10:41
home canned foods in the house? And the doctor asks that no, my
10:46
wife works, she's always to be. Can't any friends give her some neighbors?
10:50
No, no, we checked that. We just don't have any.
10:54
What about your dinner the night before serving? And canned foods at all?
10:56
My wife prepared the list for the doctor on the dead see if yourself there's
11:07
nothing chicken, mashed potatoes and gray bressels sprouts, mushrooms and mack cake cor
11:13
What about this mushroom? No, we all ate everything. No one else
11:16
got sickle and my father, Bobby, whatether they eat the poison them.
11:22
It wasn't in this house. Any idea of what it might have been,
11:26
where they might have eaten something. But well, as far as we know,
11:28
my father was not out of the house that day. When Bobby came
11:33
home playing ball, it's hungry as a bear that he had had any eat
11:37
since lunch. I see, it's a great man for playing ball. Bobby
11:43
was as this is his first basement. He wanted to be a ball player.
11:54
I've played a little semophoon in my time. He wanted to take after
11:58
me. You didn't made it two weeks getting pretty good. It was better
12:03
than me. You can't get it beat age. Yeah, all, I
12:16
guess that's all I tell you. It's all we know. It is out
12:18
of a blue sky. I just hope didn't stop happening to any other families.
12:24
Who're gonna try, mister Walker, Well, we've sure been doing fine.
12:43
Yeah, driving all over town, talking to people who don't feel like
12:46
talking to anybody. We come up with nothing. I've had one break.
12:56
You still think somebody's passing out poison food around town? Has to be How
13:00
can you figure it out? Of these people knew each other all a different
13:03
foods. There's no connection say someplace, We've got to find it. Any
13:07
idea, how will in urgent stand by thirteen K coll in urgent thirteen K
13:22
guthrie go ahead? So thirteen K succeeded, wants to receiving hospital emergency ward,
13:28
proceeded, wants to receiving hospital emergency ward one and two thirteen K guthrie
13:33
receiving hospital will go that's getting rough. Then five more cases in the last
13:50
two hours prognosis unfavorable and three of them any more information there? That's why
13:56
I had to call for that three of them here. We drew the usual
14:01
rank with four of them then, But I wanted you to talk to this
14:05
man names Ronson. He keeps on saying something about it. Where you've been
14:09
hearing for yourself? Thank you? You got to help h in the last
14:22
stages. Progressive paralysis affecting the respiratory tract. That's what he's been saying.
14:41
Ronson. Listen to me. Where'd you have that free lunch? M?
14:50
Where'd you have the free lunch Rnso some bar? Did you have it at
14:54
some bar? Bar? Where there's this bar Ronson bar? Where is it?
15:05
Where's the bar Ronson man on Madison? That where it is Madison Street?
15:18
Is that bar on Madison Street? Bonson? Is that bar on Madison
15:26
Street? Bronson? That's it? Cut three? Yeah, what do you
15:39
think could be part of our answer? Sure? Quick drink and a bite
15:43
of the downtown bar that have explained men from different families and different parts of
15:48
town being it. Yeah the way I hope Ronson was wrong? That any
15:54
idea how many people can drop into a bar in twenty four hours and we
15:58
don't even know where? It is? The life savings of an eccentric recluse
16:17
stolen. It's a startling theft that leads to sudden death. The Hidden Fortune
16:21
murder case. Confronting mister Keen Tracer of Lost Persons this Friday Night. Don't
16:26
miss this program from the very beginning to get all the clues and see how
16:30
you'd make out in mister Keane's place. Remember this Friday night and every Friday
16:33
night mystery fans have an appointment with mister Keen Tracer of Lost Persons, presented
16:40
on most of these same stations by CBS Radio. That got me, Yeah,
17:14
Bill, how are we doing? I might have a lead? What
17:17
is it? Remember the name of Ronson died about an hour ago at receiving
17:19
hospital. I got the report. He managed to talk a little. I
17:22
thought he got sick from a free lunch at some bar. It might have
17:25
been on Madison Street. Told you the address? What he ate? I
17:27
didn't have a chance. That's pretty big man, best we've got so far.
17:33
What are you doing on? Four squads are checking all the bars on
17:36
Madison Cargo, Rash and Burn are interrogating it. Receiving hospital report. Yet
17:41
it'll be real rough, damilated food passed out at the bar, and I'm
17:45
tell you how many people who hid. I got the papers and radio stations
17:48
working on it. I'll put out the story and formed the public. You
17:52
want to start chilly white panic with his thing. Man, Nine people are
17:56
already dead, and I have to take a chance. Bill, Okay,
18:02
how'd you do? Pete? I think we might have something then? But
18:06
well, two of the people at the hospital managed to talk to some One
18:10
of them have been making the rounds of Madison Street bars the night before,
18:12
had something to eating. A couple of them couldn't remember which ones of uh
18:15
huh. The other one was too far gone to say much, but they
18:18
both remembered similar things they'd eaten. Any similarity. Yeah, marinated mushroom mushrooms?
18:26
Sure fine, I get me frimily Walker on the Fall and you'll find
18:30
his number on that list of family said by the food poisoning. I think
18:34
it ties in only point of similarity. We've had Walkers don't fit in.
18:40
Then I had mushrooms for dinner. The boy and his grandfather dying. Neither
18:42
one of them could have been at a bar. The rest of the family
18:45
eat them too. There's Italian someplace has gotta be. Yeah, point a
18:49
family workers on the farm band. We got some reports on Madison Street bars.

19:11
Well, we had them both plain and marinated, Aeutenant Missus Walker, and
19:15
I like them plaining let his sauted little My father had the marinated ones.
19:19
Why do you risk what about your son? Bobby? Bobby had them playing?
19:26
Sure, I'm positive he doesn't. He didn't like them any other way.
19:30
I remember my father coaxed him to try the marinated once and he didn't
19:33
like them at all. Then he did taste them. Yes, yes,
19:38
I can still remember the face he made. You'd think those mushrooms were poison.
19:42
I'm sure of it. Remember where you got them all. I don't
19:48
do any of the shopping my wife would would you mind asking mister Walker?
19:52
Well, she isn't home right now. She went for a ride with some
19:56
friends to kind of get her mind off the thing. We'll have a call

in them inte she gets home, mister Walker, and check your refrigerator in
20:03
shallows right now for any leftover mushrooms. I send the man out to pick
20:06

28:30
Mama Rossa and the Horma made cook. You're cooking up special foods and selling
28:36
them around town, that, missus Towan, that's right. For fifteen years,
28:41
I do this my own business. I save up two thousand a dollar.
28:47
Now I'm as talk. I cook my brother Andrea. He said,
28:49
soon you're going to have a big business. Ever applied for a licensement?
28:55
Oh you have to have a permit operator business like this, missus t Tana,
28:57
what's from my mom? I need a permit? Silly? Health inspectors
29:02
have to check make sure the place is clean, food prepared, proper clean.
29:07
You look around yourself. You ever see a place of clean and it
29:11
looks all right? Are sure it's all right? And what's that you said
29:15
about the food nobody. You have to tell Ma Morose about the food she
29:19
cooked, a fine cooked, just to put that. I'm sure you do.
29:23
Man. You said, your brother Andrea selves for your missus te Fane
29:26
Mamarosa, she cook Andrea, he said, has he sold anything for your
29:30
so far? I don't know. So let's come back yet, there's a
29:34
three days now he will not come back. What did he take with him
29:37
to sell, Missus Stefano? Right, match your room with the marinards,
29:45
Mamarrosa, all made much rooms with the marinads. How many of these jars
29:49
did he take, Missus Stefano? Sixty jar? Sure? It was only
29:55
six? Sure? Who is the sixty jar? That's what you call it?
29:59
Firm? How much more of this have you got around, miss sister
30:02
to put up for twenty thirty jobs, all of it in that cabin.
30:06
Yes, it's all in there. When Andrea get back, he's going to
30:10
tell that too. Make a big a business for Moros after fifteen years,
30:15
So pick a business on my own. It's pretty good. Huh, it's
30:18
fine, sister. Here, you take this job for yourself. You're going
30:23
to see what Mamrosa means. Look at the color, you know, with
30:27
a wind Ollie boy looks like just a fine yeah, looks good enough tea.
30:34
Yeah, welcome back. He is definitely ended with a tough spot for
31:03
Guthrie and Carter because the one thing I kept I'm wondering and we never got
31:07
the answer, is how do you tell this sweet old lady who's worked hard
31:12
and wants to start a business that not only is her business ruined, but
31:18
that her cooking practices have led to the deaths of non people. That's an
31:22
incredibly difficult duty to deal with. And I think that, you know,
31:30
it was just a tragic thing the way it turned out, and we definitely
31:36
felt the weight of the dilemma even though it really wasn't resolved in this episode
31:41
in terms of how this would be addressed. Also, we have actually heard
31:48
an earlier episode. Earlier this season, there was an episode of Doctor Tim
31:53
centering in on food poisoning, and there was an and this isn't the only
32:00
one. This does seem to be an issue of warning about the dangers of
32:06
poorly cooked food and how it worked, poorly canned food and how it can
32:09
be a killer, you know, And I guess that sometimes even to things
32:14
that we perceive negative the lead. There can be a positive because you know,
32:20
I've heard people say that, you know, nobody cans anymore, but
32:27
this does bring home a reason why there were some that some people would be
32:30
reluctant to can because there were people who you know, and certainly there were
32:36
lots of people who knew how to do it well. And we don't mean
32:40
to say that, but there for everything, there can be a bit of
32:46
a downside. I don't know if the police would normally take the lead in
32:52
an investigation like this, but the you know, it's is, you know,
32:59
whether they're the health department or something else. I do know that this
33:02
is probably more realistic than the approach of doctor Tim, where a kindly doctor
33:09
and his two precocious kid friends investigated. We now on to some listener comments
33:15
and feedback. Brian says that I continue to enjoy all your podcasts. Keep
33:22
them coming. Thanks so much, Brian, and Douglas says thanks for your
33:29
great and continuing work. My wife and I both especially love the Johnny Dollar
33:34
shows and your associated commentary. Justine says, thank you so much for putting
33:42
out all your podcasts. I really enjoy the chance to listen to such a
33:45
wide variety of detective shows. I also have been a thoroughly enjoying the War
33:50
podcast. I listen while I'm working in my leather shop. These shows can
33:53
make a long day of stamping much more interesting. Thanks so much, Justine,
34:00
and if you'd like to listen to the War, be sure to go
34:04
to otrdetectives dot com slash the War and we've got a great podcast of World
34:09
War II programs. And I appreciate both Brian and Justine referencing it. And
34:17
Michelle says, I have your app on my Kindle, iPhone, iPod,
34:22
and iPad, so no matter what device I pick up, I can always
34:25
get in my fix for great detectives. I found your podcast by accident one
34:30
day while working on a Sherlock Holmes project for college. I work full time
34:36
for an insurance company as a claims adjuster, and I don't have the ability
34:38
to sit and read, but can listen to books on tape normally, though
34:43
I hate that sort of thing, as people drone on and on reading.
34:46
But I was behind on my project and was hoping for inspiration. I got
34:50
it and an a on my paper and kept hearing you mentioned Johnny Dollar and
34:54
figured I would give it a try. I was hooked from the first episode
34:58
I listened to. Now I can't live without Sherlock, Johnny, let George
35:00
do it, the line up, Nick Carter or Mister or Mister Into or
35:07
any of the other shows. Thank you for your dedication and hard work.
35:10
I would be lost without great detectives. Well, thanks so much, Michelle.
35:15
And also there's a comment from Chris who says love the show. I
35:21
know a lot of old time radio related books have been discussed on the show
35:23
over the year, so my apologies if this has already been reviewed. But
35:28
have you read The Badge True and terrifying crime stories that could not be presented
35:32
on TV from the creator and star of Dragon It. I saw it on
35:37
Amazon the other day. Thanks well. Thanks for the question, Chris,
35:40
and I'm not too much into kind of shocking true crime stories, but since
35:47
Jack Web wrote it, I should probably read it, and it's definitely would
35:52
be something I would pick up. I've just got to remember to do it
35:57
and hope it's not too extra, but I definitely do intend to take a
36:01
look at it. One other thing I did mean to mention before we left,
36:07
something that really struck me as funny when we were listening to the lineup,
36:14
it was where they were, where they were advertising mister Keene, And
36:17
one of the big suggestions that they made was to tune in at the beginning
36:24
so you can hear all the clues. And that kind of left me scratching
36:29
my head because don't people do that? But at fault I don't know.
36:32
Are there some listeners then or now who just tune into shows in the middle
36:38
because they want to try and figure out not only what's happened with the solution
36:45
to the case, but everything that came before it. That was just it's
36:49
really tickled my funny bone when they said that, because it's like, what
36:53
or do you just tune into the end to hear the solution? That's actually
36:59
is the best part. But I hope our listeners do continue to listen to
37:06
beginning, middle and in. That's generally the best way, but other people's
37:10
experience may vary. All right, Well, that will do it for today.
37:16
Coming up tomorrow our very last day of listener support campaign specials, we
37:23
will take you to one more show we're going to play eventually in the future,
37:28
but not anytime soon. Just give you a little bit of a flavor
37:30
of it. The lineup is over, but join us back here next Saturday
37:36
for Police Blotter for two weeks, and then Homicide Okaine and for one week,
37:43
and then after that we'll be into police Headquarters for eighteen weeks the lineup.
37:49
I'll give a closing thought on the lineup. I thought that it was
37:53
a fairly well done show. Certainly it had its flaw flaws, and sometimes
38:00
it could get a little too dry, but I enjoyed bringing it to you.
38:05
I particularly enjoyed the wally Mare area. I wish that there were more
38:07
episodes of that, and who knows, there may be some that do come
38:12
forward in coming months and years, and we can certainly revisit the series.
38:16
This has been the fourth longest period for any series, sixty two weeks,
38:22
so three weeks longer than we had Barry Craig on the show. So I
38:24
hope you've enjoyed it. And of course we are just about five months away
38:31
from bringing back Dragnets, so a lot to look forward to, and I
38:36
hope you'll be there with us for it all. In the meantime, if
