  Speaker 6: seen me. Hum those food market holdups? You pulled those
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: robberies by yourself? Yeah, fifteen of them? Needed the money?

• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Frank Bowler? Have you ever been arrested before? Drunk charge?
• 3:51

  Speaker 6: just did.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Have you ever done any big time?
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: No?
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Why do you want to confess? I want to get

• 4:04
  Speaker 6: newspapers and I'll give them a whole story.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: I'll tell 'em everything. Uh. How many of those markets
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: did you hold up? Probably fifteen? And you said you
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: needed the money? Is that right? Why? Personal reasons? And
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: look you got a light again? Smokes out?
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, uh huh yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Did you use pretty much the same routine on all
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: of the hold ups? Is that right?
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: I only pulled one job a week. Figured that was
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: the safest way. Dressed pretty well like a salesman. Always
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: had a briefcase with me, said, what are you carrying
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: the gun?
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Always worked too.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: I'd show up at closing time, get the manager in
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: the back room, and then pull the highest What kind
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: of a gun did you use? Service pistol? I had
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: it from when I was in the army. How do
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: you usually work it?
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: When I got the manager alone in the back office,
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: I'd just pull a gun. I'd say the money, all
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: of it. They knew I wasn't pooling niggim in the dog.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: You don't seem to fit the hold up man's description
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: too closely. Did you wear a mask on those jobs?
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Did it? Sometimes? It did? Sometimes it didn't. How about
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: the man who worked with you? Where's he wasn't anybody else?
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Just me?
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Worked him alone. That's where you cops are wrong. You
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: thought there were two of us, didn't you?
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: We thought so?
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, pulled every job by myself. That's where I crossed
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: you up and kneway I was doing I didn't need
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: any help.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Well, how about that market out of the West seventh
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: that you held up last night? Did you pull that
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: one alone too?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: I'm sure I always work alone. Guess I had you
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: guys going, huh, your story doesn't come very close. The
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: man where after he doesn't use the service pistol. He
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: never wears a mask in it. What are you guys
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: getting that? I told you I pulled those robberies. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: dol'n't know how it happened. I used a service pistol.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Did you use it in that robbery last night that
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: went out on West Seventh? Sure? I always used the
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: same gun. Last night was no different. You're wasting time, mister.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: What do you I mean? I look, I just want
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: to confess. You know, sir, there wasn't any robbery last night.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: One further questioning beg Frank Pollard broke down and admitted.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: His confession was a lie.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: He explained that he wanted the publicity to impress a girlfriend.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: We had him fingerprinted and delivered him to the Georgia
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Street Hospital. Detail was filed on, and then we moved
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: to the psychopathic ward at the County Hospital for further
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: examination and treatment. Our four month old search for the
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: market bandit went on. In the two weeks that followed,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: we tracked down more leaves. They led nowhere the real
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: market bandit was still at large. On the night of
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: February twenty fifth, they hit again, this time at a
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: supermarket out on Santa Monica Boulevard. We interviewed the manager
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: of mister Harry Talbot in his small office at the
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: rear of the store.
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: I guess I should have known better. I got the
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: bullet and you sent out on the guy. His description everything,
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: I just wasn't thinking.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: I guess he came into the market just before closing time,
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Is that right?
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, a couple of minutes after eight, look well dressed,
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: had a briefcase.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Under his arm. I fell for it like the rest
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: of him. I thought he was a salesman. How about
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: the man's description, sir.
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: About five foot eleven hundred and seventy pounds. I guess
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: gray suit, the same description you have Perrier up in
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: the paper.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Was anyone else around when the man came in the door.
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: One of my clerks, evert smiley, he saw him leave
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: and get in a car right after the robbery.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Is this clerk still around? We'd like to talk to him.
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: Oh, he went down the street im and hear me

  Speaker 5: Happened pretty fast.
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: He reached into the briefcase he was carrying like he
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: was going to get his order book, and he came
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: up with this gun.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: He told me to open that safe there, but I stole.
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: I said, I didn't know how I see, And that's
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: when he started telling me what he'd do to my family,
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: my wife if I didn't open the safe. He knew
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: all about us, my address, my wife's name, my kids.
• 8:38
  Speaker 12: He said he'd get them if I didn't do what
• 8:39
  Speaker 12: I was told. Same Amo never failed him.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: What'd you do? Then? Tell it? Well, money's not worth
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: that much to me. I opened the safe and gave him.
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: Everything, a little over four hundred dollars. I still don't
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: know how I got that information about my family.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Do you have any suspicions at all? No, nobody I
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: can think of. How about the gun? He can you
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: describe it?
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: But just like you haven't listed in that bulletin on
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: him thirty eight revolve.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: A blue steel long bow and mister Talbott, come on
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: in ev officers, this is my clerk.
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: Everett Smiley I'm sorry, I forgot your name.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Friday in Romero, Robert y tamp hi Yah. I love it. Hey,
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: mister Talbot says that you saw the hold up man
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: leaving the market. Is that right? Yeah, that's right.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: He walked right out of the store and down the street,
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: just like nothing happened. I didn't know anything was wrong
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: till later. Did you notice if the men got in
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: the car?
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I did.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: Car was sparked about halfway down the block. Another guy
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: was driving, motor was running.
• 9:32
  Speaker 12: You catch the license number? No, but it was a
• 9:34
  Speaker 12: bran new sedan, a Pontiac. I think you shouldn't have
• 9:37
  Speaker 12: much trouble.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: Finding it without a license number. Oh, it's a brand
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: new car. I remember the color. I couldn't forget that. Yeah,
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: bright red, just like a fire engine.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Ninety percent of the time, color identification of a car
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: means nothing. For one thing, a getaway car can be
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: painted in a matter of a few hours, and for another,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: the color of a vehicle is not listed on the
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: registration slip. Possible to check a car through DMV on
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: color alone, But in this case we figured that we
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: had half an exception to the rule. The car used
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: and the robbery was new was painted a very distinctive color.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: We began an immediate canvas of automobile dealers throughout the city.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: After a day and a half of calling and checking,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: we found two dealers would sold two new cars within
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: recent weeks with fire engine red paint jobs. We got
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: the names and addresses of the purchases and check them out.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: One of them was a mismoona tailor, an ad taker
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: for one of the daily morning paint roots.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry to brought you that your work, misteray, not
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: at all. Most of it's over for today. What is
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: it you want to know?
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: We understand that you bought a new Pontiacciday in about
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: three weeks ago.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Is that correct?
• 10:41
  Speaker 13: Yes?
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: Oh if this is about that parking, take it like
• 10:45
  Speaker 13: I've already taken care of it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: No, man, that's not it. We just like to know
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: if you still own that car. Well, I don't own
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: it yet, I'm still paying on it. Colors there, bright red?
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Is that right? Yes? It is fire engine red. I
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: like bright colors. Well, does anyone else beside yourself drive
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: the car? Mastailing?
• 10:59

• 11:01

• 12:02
  Speaker 4: car the night before, but he denied that he drove

  Speaker 4: it anywhere in the vicinity of the robbery.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: How about your friend Jimmy Bray, I.
• 12:08
  Speaker 14: Don't know I owned the car. That's all. He gave
• 12:12
  Speaker 14: me thirty bucks. Well, that's an awful lot of rental money.
• 12:15
  Speaker 14: Why did he need a car? Savand I don't know.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Let you ask Ken. Where's he staying? Warlotte Hotel Ethan
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Flo You going over to see him, now, that's right? Why?
• 12:29
  Speaker 14: Well, I thought if you were going over there, he
• 12:31
  Speaker 14: wouldn't mind taking this with you. He left it in
• 12:33
  Speaker 14: the car when he brought it back his briefcase. It'savanla,

  Speaker 4: evidence with the property clerk. There was no record or
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: prints on the gun. The Taylor Girl's car was impounded
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: to be checked for fingerprints. Seven pm, we drove out
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: to the Bottle of hotel on Eighth and Flower. The
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: room clerk confirmed the fact that Jimmy Bray was a
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: registered guest at the hotel.

• 14:46
  Speaker 4: description of the hold up man matched perfectly with Bray's.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: By noon the next day, the suspects still had not
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: returned to his hotel. An intensive canvas of the immediate
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: neighborhood around the Bartlett Hotel netted us nothing. Nobody remembered Bray.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: We checked the bars and restaurants that he was known
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: to patronize. No one had any idea where he might be.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Details at the airport, railroad stations, and bus terminals were alerted.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: We got out a supplementary description on our original APB.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: The Sheriff's office was kept advised. Two days passed, still
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: no sign. We questioned and requestioned al daily. Either he
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: couldn't or he wouldn't add anything to what he'd already
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: told us about Bray. A series of stakeouts were placed
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: at food markets and areas where Bray had staged robberies previously.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: A composite picture of the suspect was made up and
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: given wide distribution throughout the city.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: It all went for nothing.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: The following Tuesday, March fourth, Bray robbed a neighborhood market
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: in Highland.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Park of one hundred and fifty dollars. I had to
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: give him the money.
• 15:42
  Speaker 16: Sergeant he fed in my wife and kids said he'd
• 15:45
  Speaker 16: see something happen to them if I didn't open the safe.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Did you say war gloves, sir? That's right.
• 15:51
  Speaker 16: I thought it didn't, Juy, But first salesman wearing gloves
• 15:54
  Speaker 16: like that. Didn't think about it till it was too late.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: Did you notice if he was on foot or did
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: he get away in a car?
• 15:59
  Speaker 16: He had a car all right part down the street
• 16:01
  Speaker 16: there saw up through the window.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Another fellow was at the wheel.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Did you notice anything else about the car? The license number?
• 16:06
  Speaker 16: Maybe no, I couldn't see that. But it was a
• 16:08
  Speaker 16: coop I'm sure of that. Yeah, it was red, bright red.
• 16:15
  Speaker 16: There was one angle we couldn't figure.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: If Bray has been on a steady career of robbery,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: why did he use an escape car painted the most
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: conspicuous color possible. We checked out Mona Taylor's car again,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: there was no connection. The search went on two weeks,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: three weeks, another month. Bray kept to his usual schedule,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: one robbery a week. The lake work went on too.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: On March twentieth, we got a call from one of
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Ben's informants. He told us that he'd seen a man
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: answering Bray's description in the Venice Park amusement area down
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: to the beach, and we drove out of Venice to
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: check it out.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Pretty good crowd for a cold nine. Yeah, where do
• 16:50

  Speaker 8: Penny Arcade. You know it's the guy first he pointed

• 18:57
  Speaker 5: When did you first see him? Or two nights ago?
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: I wasn't so sure. It was Bray the first time,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: and I saw him last night that since I didn't
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: hear that.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: I said I saw him last night, not that since?
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: Oh but what did this Murphy was at his name?

• 19:40
  Speaker 8: him well, love to ask him about it.

  Speaker 8: You see his little office to one side of the

  Speaker 12: Son.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, the guy is bray It's funny that he hasn't

  Speaker 6: Well, try your skilled fellas ten shots, Sony Parter.

• 21:10
  Speaker 5: It's part of your concession, isn't it. Yeah, that's right.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: I'm the only one who used it. Somebody must have
• 21:16

  Speaker 4: We advised the shooting gallery operator not to attempt any
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: phone calls. Then I called the office and Rickets and
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Powers came out to help us with a stakeout on
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: the shooting gallery. In the adjoining office. Ben and I
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: covered from the penny arcade directly opposite the shooting gallery.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Rickets and Powers were staked out two doors away at
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: a stand that advertised handwriting.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Analyzed twenty five cents. We waited.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Ben munched on a bag of popcorn. Ten thirty pm,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: no sign of the suspect. Eleven o'clock still no sign.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Getting pretty cold. Everybody going home? Yeah? You got any

  Speaker 5: Talking to the manager. He's going around to the side door.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: That money he's going inside.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: All right, hold it right there.

  Speaker 5: Mister, don't watch it. Wick it, Kellny, come on the back.

  Speaker 17: all right, how about it?
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Joe short, dark complexion, fat? What do you think?
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but it's not Bray, Rickets, and Powers
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: remained on stakeout at the shooting gallery while Ben and
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: I took the suspect downtown along with the proprietor of
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: the shooting Gallery, Max Gridley. We had the man treated
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: for cuts and bruises at Georgia Street Receiving Hospital, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: we took him to the office. He identified himself as
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Blake Chatfield, an unemployed salesman. After two hours of questioning,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: he broke down and admitted that he was Bray's accomplice
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: in each of the eighteen robberies.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: He drove the getaway car. He said for the past month.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: He and Bray had been living in the office adjoining
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: the shooting Gallery, who was booked at the New City
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Jail on suspicion of two eleven PC. Max Gridley was
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: held for further questioning one.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: Th five am. We checked back in at the office. Yes,
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: I had too many hot dogs out there. You know
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: what's the matter? Oh, indigestion. Maybe it was the pop corn.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, m A couple of messages in the book. My
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: wife wants you to call him before you go home.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: Uh huh Hello Amy? Yeah, long night?
• 25:27
  Speaker 17: Yeah, what.
• 25:29
  Speaker 12: Both for Graham? Brad Well, I'll try Okay here Hey
• 25:34
  Speaker 12: him by, same old thing.
• 25:37
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I get it.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: Robbery Friday, Johnny Parr's Joe, Yeah, John, how's it going?
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: Gim me a brave Finally showed we got him any trouble, No,
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: drove up in a bright red coop.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Couldn't miss him. You coming in now? Yeah? Just leave him,
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: see you right, John Man? Well, I picked up Bray,
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: bring him in now. Good. Should have been a long
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: haul almost five months. Yeah, it's a long time. Hey Joe.
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah, where am I going to get a loaf of
• 26:04
  Speaker 12: Graham bread at this time in the morning?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: The story you had just heard was true, only the
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: names were changed to protect the innocent.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: James R.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Bray and Blake A. Chatfield were tried and convicted on
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: several counts of armed robbery and received sentences as prescribed
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: by law. Max Gridley was filed on for failure to
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: register as an ex convict. Bray and Chatfield are now
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: serving their terms in the state penitentiary. Technical advice for
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Dragnet comes from the Office of Chief of Police W. H. Parker,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles Police.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Department, coming up with the people, then screen director Playhouse
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: on NBC.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back. You expect confessing Sam's to show up for murders,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: but grocery store robberies. Thankfully, they were able to dispense
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: with that guy really quickly. But one thing Dragon That's
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: always clear on is that those guys really do waste
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: time for the police. The way this episode ends violates
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the listener's expectations, but I think enhances the feeling of
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Dragnet's integrity. Even on a series like Tales of the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Texas Rangers, which tried to be authentic, Jace Pearson would
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: always be there for the big caller, but Dragon that
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: didn't always have that happen, because the reality for police
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: officers is that you're not the designated main character, and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: sometimes another officer gets the caller and all you get
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: is indigestion for eating too much popcorn. Of course, this
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: leaves the episode's biggest question unanswered. Why did the criminal
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: choose red cars for his getaway cars? If I had
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: to guess based on him not having a prior record,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: it seemed like he just didn't realize that this was
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: a problem. He just liked red cars asn't aside. I
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: do wonder if red is the absolute worst choice. It
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: seems like hot pink or a really bright orange would
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: also stand out, although I don't think they had cars
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: being manufactured in that color yet, although certainly I've seen
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of cars from later in the fifties that
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: certainly have the hot pink going for it. And then
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: we have a little line towards the end, which I'm
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: pretty sure I didn't even take note of the first
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: couple times that I played this episode, but which just
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: sent me down a rabbit trail, and that was Ben's
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: upcoming quest by Graham Bread. Now, given my last name,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you'd think I would have taken notice of that before,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: but no, I'm pretty sure I didn't. Graham bread is
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: actually named for the Reverend Sylvester Graham, the father of
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: American vegetarianism and the inventor of the Graham cracker. He
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: was a nineteenth century minister who is often cited as
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: one of the first food fastest. He published his famous
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: book Treaties on Bread and Bread Making back in eighteen
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: thirty seven, which I'm sure everyone's read, which explained how
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to make Graham bread, among other things, but it didn't
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: actually give precise portions as to how much of each
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: ingredient should go in, instead relying on the baker's good judgment.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: This is why I'd never make gram bread using that recipe.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: When it comes to guessing the appropriate amounts of ingredients
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: to go into a recipe, I have worse judgment than
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: our criminal did this week at picking cars. Now, in
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: terms of Ben's quest, I could not find gram bread
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: commercially available in our modern world at the usual places.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: After doing a lot of searching, I found a bakery
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: in Illinois that offered their own take on gram bread
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: that you can buy. That'd be a bit of a
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: drive for me let alone. A twenty first century version
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of ben Romero. But what about ten, nineteen fifty version
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: of ben Romero. I don't think there was widespread commercial availability.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I actually did a newspaper search to see if I
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: could find any ads for any store that mentioned gram
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: bread available, and I drew a total blank and again
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: searching in the Los Angeles area. So even in nineteen fifty,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: if you could buy it commercially, it would be most
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: likely considered some sort of health food. You can imagine
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: poor Ben would be hard pressed to find it. You know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: you'd go to the all nights supermarkets and whatever sort
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: of stores would be open that time of night, and
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: spend an hour or so going through, and then have
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: to get up early in the morning and drive to
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: a health food store. I found an interesting blog post
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: by Renee Ryan, a historical romance writer who used to
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: write for a blog called Petticoats and Pistols, which is
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: focused on historical romance, particularly around the Old West, and
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: she said that you can actually get graham flower from
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: health food stores, and the special way that graham flower
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: is made is more true to the Old West way
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: of making flour. So if you want to get a
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: taste of the Old West, making some gram bread could
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: be helpful. She also shared a recipe which thankfully does
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: not rely on the baker having good judgment, and I
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: want to add an I linked her article in the
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: show notes, although there are plenty of gram bread recipes,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: if you want to give it a try, and if
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: there are any bakers who made it and would like
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: to share their experience, I'd certainly welcome that. And if
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: you have any information on the commercial availability of gram
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: bread in nineteen fifty in the greater Los Angeles area,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: then you have a highly specialized set of knowledge. Listener
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: comments and feedback. Now and we turn to YouTube, where
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: we have a couple comments regarding the Big Mother. Amanda writes,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: this one was tough to listen to. An unfulfilled desire
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: can break your mind and spirit. A good outcome, but
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: nothing could make things right for either family. A good point, Amanda.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: One thing that Dragnet says is that it follows the
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: case from crime to punishment, but oftentimes you're left with
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: unanswered questions which fall out of that perimeter. Certainly for
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the woman who kidnapped the baby, you wonder what happens
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: to her next, and also for the family of the baby,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: and you wonder what they end up doing about it.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Do they even tell the boy that he was briefly kidnapped,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: passed off of somebody else's child, and baptized, maybe into
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: an entirely different church than the parents belonged to. My hunch,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: particularly since there wasn't a criminal process that would require
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: them to testify or relive the situation, that they would
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: probably tend to just try to move on as if
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: it didn't happen. But I don't think that means that
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: it doesn't impact them. They might find themselves being very
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: overly protective of the boy for reasons they can't even explain.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: So there would definitely be effects from this, even if
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: the family wasn't consciously aware of it. So just a
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: sad situation overall. And then Sarah writes, Dragnett was always
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: a good guidance in my life. Great entertainment. Well, thank
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: you so much, appreciate the comment. Now it's time to

  Speaker 18: to take this the way she's been taking it all along?
• 36:46
  Speaker 18: She won't complain, no pratic good. If I were to
