An elaborate scam in Grand Central Terminal in 1929

Sometimes in our research we come across stories that are regarded as true but that we can't fully verify. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll share two such stories from the 1920s, about a pair of New York fruit dealers and a mythologized bank robber, and discuss the strength of the evidence behind them.

We'll also salute a retiring cat and puzzle over a heartless spouse.
