In the 102 years since the formation of thaf first judicial district, there have been many shifts and changes, but throughout, the courts administering justice have shown a steady and uncompromising growth. Fresn~ County was created by act of the legisla- ture in April, 1856 with territory carved from area in Mariposa County. Seven commissioners were named in the act and included Charles A. Hart, Ira McCray, James Cruikshank, H. A. Carroll, 0. M. Brown, J_. W. Gilmore and H. M. Lewis. Commissioner Hart later became the first judge in the county. One of the first acts of the new government was to arrange for a courthouse and jail. These we~e- completed in 1857 at a cost of $6000. Ten years later a new courthouse and jail was constructed at a cost of $24;000. This building was in use for only seven years. By this time residents in the county felt a ne-ed to change the site of the county seat . .On February J.8. 187 4, the Board of Supervisors ordered an election to consider removal of the county seat from. Millerton.' By March 23, it was clear that Fresno City had re- ceived the greater number of votes and Millerton buildings were. officially abandoned on September 25, 1874. First meeting of the Board of Supervisors was held in Fresno on October 18th of that year, A temporary building was constructed to house the county offices, but this quickly proved too small to accommodate the court. A two story structure took the ~lace of the first building. On October 16, 1874, the first session was held in the new courth , . . ouse. This bu1ldmg was not owned by the county but was donated for as long as necessary by the owner, who receiOnve~ one dollar in token rent from the supervis- ors. September 6, 18~5 the new courthouse was formally occupied by the supervisors . That original portion of the courthouse constitutes the central ·part of the present handsome structure. ·1 For many years the ground floor was used as a jcn' with the board rooms and courts located on the upper floors. On June 9, 1856, Commissioner Hart was elected Fresno County's first judge, although the 13th Ju- dicial District, composed of Fresno, Tulare, Merced, Mariposa and Stanislaus Counties, continued under a district judge with a court at Mariposa. This ar- rangement was in effect until 1879 when the new con- stitution created the Superior Court in Fresno County. S. A. Holmes became the first judge of this court. A second department of Qie superior· court was added by the legislature in 1887. The third department came into being in 1893, a fourth in 1921 and a fifth and sixth in 1949. All six of the superior courts are housed in the present courthouse building. HEADQUARTERS FOR: INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER FARM AND INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT Allied Power Moves The Earth .. TRUCKS ..

COLLI NS, Lieutenant of Detectives, Criminal Division "Seek the cause and effect the cure", this is the aim of those devoted men in the field of medical research. Working constantly to effect new and posi- tive vaccines, serums and methods of treatment, they are striving to reduce disease ·and suffering to an absolute minimum. By the same token those men who have dedicated their lives to law enforcement are constantly seeking the cause of another disease, a social disease , called 9 crime. Probably the most vicious underlying cause of crime uncovered by these probers is that of narcotic addiction. However this subject has been greatly abused by certain types of publications and inac- curate reporting. Glaring headlines have b uried the true relationship of crime and narcotic addiction in a mass of sensationalism, hysteria and misunder- standing. In order to clarify this relationship it must be un- derstood that addiction does not create the criminal. One does not take an injection of heroin or morphine or smoke a marijuana cigarette and suddenly make a Dr. Jekyll -Mr. Hyde transformation into a master of crime. If this were the case, a physician would be afraid to give his patient a shot of pain relieving drug, for fear that he might suddenly find his patient San Quentin bound. -A study of criminal records has revealed that in a vast majority of cases crimina lity has preceded ad- diction and that the criminal activity in the individual is stimulated by the need to support the ever grow- ing cost of his habit. The average addict spends from $15.00 to $20.00 per day to support his habit with some extremes EDITORS NOTE: This startling revelation of the diabolical narcotics trade and its attendant e11ils has been compiled wt·th th • t f e a sts once o our o/ficers who are engaged in helping stamp out this d'readful courgc_ Many of our teen agers are caught in the grasping tentacles 0/ Jopi" peddlers __. t11ose purveyors of lingering death.

In the following paragraphs we will endeavor, in a general way, to show the causes of addiction, its effects and what is being done to combat it and if this article turns one person away from its use, we will feel wel1 rewarded. THE CREATION OF AN ADDICT At the tum of the century the addiction rate in the United States was extremely high. One out of every four hundred persons was addicted to some form of narcotic. This high degree of addiction had been brought about by the unrestricted dispensing of medicines containing various types of addicting drugs and over which there were no governmental controls. Alarmed at the high rate of addiction, many cities and states as well as the Federal Government en- acted .laws controlling the dispensing and sale of narcotlcs. In 1915 the Harrison Act w t . t ff Thi . en m o e ect. s act placed a tight restriction on the importation and sale of narcotics and has been further stren - thened over the years by further re ul g men ts.

HALLOWELL C·Ypress 9-43S 1 With the advent of the Harrison Act many addicts sought treatment and were cured, however manY persisted and were forced to illicit sources to secure the drug, thus creating a new and lucrative business in the black market. As the further treatment and strict enforcement of narcotic laws created a drop in the addict population the illicit peddler became I 11' almmed and developed a new weapon, a trove mg salesman of sorts, called a "pusher". It became his job to create new addicts thus creating'a new market. Many of these pushers were themselves addicts driven to this end io secure drugs for their own needs. As these human leeches cast about in· search of new customers, they hit upon a new target, a young, naive and impressionable one -the teenager; seek- ing those, in the main, with a trend toward delin- quency. A question very often asked is, how and . where does drug addiction start? Probably one of the most important allies of the pusher is the inate curiosity of man, especially the teen-ager. Despite a fine home environment and a true re- ligious education, many a teen-ager or young adult has been led into the pitfalls of addiction through curiosity alone, a curiousity which has been aroused by the fantastic tales of a pusber. Another initial start towards addiction is alcohol. Al some unchap~roned "beer party" he is invar- iably tempted or taunted into trying a marijuana cigarette. Marijuana adds an extremely heavy burden to the already overworked narcotics inv.estigator. It is easily grown, therefore plentiful cmd fairly easy to obtain and is, above all, comparitively cheap. After the pusher has introduced his victim to mari- juana he pl~s the final "kill" which is true in many cases both_ literally cmd figurately.

He can't be hooked, he doesn't need the drug, he is only playing with it for kicks. As his body builds up a tolerance to the drug, which it does very rapidly, the new "junkie" finds that he no longer gets the warm rosey glow of his first injections. Now the drug on1y brings on a state of lethargy. He becomes inactive, indifferent and ex- tremely drowsy. In addict language he is ,.on the nod". Then he experiences a new and alarming sensa- tion; his first .withdrawal symptoms. He finds that he can now go only a few hours without a "fix ". Without the narcotic he becomes a sweating', vom- THE FRAME OF THE CAR WAS cut out to make a hiding place for dope by an addict and pusher. iting, twitching mass of misery. A misery brought about by his own folly. He has diarrhea, and sear- ing, griping cramps tear at his stomach. His nose runs continuously and an uncontrollable twitching takes over in his arms and legs. As one addict aptly put it, "you feel as if you are falling apart". This is not a pretty picture nor is it intended to be and had he suHered this torment upon his first ex- perience the drug peddler would have lost h1mselr a new customer. POINT OF NO RETURN Having past what is for most the point of no return, the new victim is faced with many new and complex problems. His first and main concern, is to keep his supply line open. At first, when his habit is small, he will pilfer small items from his home to sell or pawn along with his own personal belongings. As his habit in- creases and his dependence on the drug grows, he turns to crime. He may become a "mule" (delivery boy) or a pusher or an outright peddler in order to secure his own supply. The second worry or concern of the addict is that d discovery. For with discovery he faces not only public humiliation but eventual arrest which he fears above all. For with incarceration his supply line is severed and he is faced with the dreaded seven to ten day withdrawal period. During this period he is given what aid the medical profession can give him but that aid is only a delaying action for there is no short cut on this road of misery. Having passed through the withdrawal stage, the prisoner or patient is no longer physically dependent on the drug, however the mental hazard is still present. A sad commentray on this subject is the fact that even though many are incarcerated or treated from two months to as many as six or eight months or more, an extremely high rate will return to addiction shortly after release, and stranger yet, most of them cannot tell you why. With the constant use of the opiates the physical effects of the drug begin to assert themselves. Within a month or so the veins in the arms begin to close. This is due both to the action of the narcotic and to the constant use ·of the hypodermic needle. The ac- companying lethargy causes the addict to bec?me careless and soon abcesses form because of unsterile equipment. As the arm veins collapse he turns to other parts of his body; the neck, ankles and the backs of his knees and hands. In effect, he becomes a human pincushion. Inasmuch as the State of California governs the dispensing of hypodermic syringes, most of the in- jectionkits are homemade, and in cases of dire need addicts have been known to cut or prick a hole in the vein large enough to admit the blunt end of a medicine dropper. With the repeated use of narcotics the mouth be- comes acid and the teeth rot and fall out. The secre- tions in the stomach diminish, curbing the normal appetite, producing such by-products as constipa- tion, gallbladder inflammation ond jaundice. A poi- son is formed as the drug passes through the body and is thrown off through the intestines and kidneys. This process can and does effect the sex organs often causing sterility. Expectant mothers who are addicts can pass this poison to their offspring. The life expectancy of the drug addict is shortened on an average of twenty to twenty-five years and the mortality rates in such diseases as cancer,-bronchitis, tuberculosis and many others show a markedly high ratio of addicts as opposed to non-addicts. A THREE WAY OFFENSIVE Now that we have shown the creation of an addict, the road he must travel and his ultimate end, the question arises as to what is being done to stamp out this evil. There are three lines of attack in this fight; education, hospitalization and enforcement of existing laws. Of these three weapons, education calls for the greatest degr:3~ of thought and judgment a:pd it is the expressed op1mon of many agencies and 14 HOLL y DEPARTMENT STORE 1027 F STREET FRESNO ----~-----[___B_R_O_W_N_I_E--:M-:--UFFLER SERVICE 20 MINUTE SERVICE 2535 VENTURA 4295 N.

As stated previously cur- iousity is one c£ the greatest a llies of the drug ped- dlers therefore great care must be exercised in the production of motion pictures and written material. Although they are produced by people of integrity with an honest desire to educate the parent and child, most films being shown in schools and to social and service organizations today, have several gen- eral faults. They tend to over emphasize and por- tray the effects and mechanics of drug addiction. They show in detail the smoking of marijuona, mak- ing and use of injection equipment and the tech- niques of thievery and drug peddling all of which tends to arouse curiosity and invite experimentation. On the other hand they minimize such things as social disgrace, the misery of the withdrawal period and accompanying medical treatment, which tend to allay the tear of consequences of drug addiction or experimentation. If they could but witness the filth, agony and the physical ond mental torture endured by cm , addict during an qctual withdrawal stage or if they could see the world of degradation, squalor and disgrace in which the addict dwells, then curiosity would wane and desire to experiment die. The humane weapon, hospitalization, is designed and employed to aid the real victim of this war, the addict himself. To cure the addict would remove the market and thus stamp out the illicit sale of narcotics. This has proven to be an uphill battle on two fronts. The first being a great shorta ge of facilities and the second being the high relapse rate of the patients released from these instiutions. The United States Governmen t is leading the fight in this field, assisted by the various states, some on a full time basis, others on a limited basis. The most notable of these is the 1500 bed hospital at Lexing- ton, Kentucky where the narcotic addict is accepted and treated on a voluntary basis. To explain the reason for voluntary treatment it must be understood that the-. addict must have an earnest desire to be cured; he cannot be for ced or dnven to a permanent cure. The time a patient requires to effect a cure de- pends upon the ind ividual. The min imum period is set at approximately four and one-half months with some remaining as high as twq years. The cured patient must carry with him, upon his release, an intense desire to remain free of the drug and fight temptation at every turn of the road. However in this regard, there is a disappointingly high rever- sion rate. The known relapse rate attributed to one institution was an alarming 39.6. The unknown re- lapses would probably raise this to a much higher figure. This line of attack must be continued and enlarged despite the setbacks. h th ea-pronged The main line of offense In t is r d t the attack is that of enforcement, which is aime ad on very roots of this evil. This battle is beln9 wadgel 1 ti l state an oca • four levels; international, na ona ' ans ln· Through the United Nations over forty nati f~ ht cludinq United States have banded togeth0r to g world wide traffic. The agreement reached has two . 11 f reduction ln pro-basic concepts The first ca s or a t • fr t thousand tons o duction of raw op1um; om wo d , al five hundred tons which approximates the ~~ 1~h needs of the world and secondly it would limit e countries allowed to export the raw opium. On the national scene, the nation's legislators are th otic problem constantly at work investigating e narc , and enacting the laws needed to curb the illicit traffic in drugs. A notable example of this is the recent Price-Daniel Amendment to the Federal Nar- cotic Law. This act designed, as a deterrent to t~ sale of narcotics to juveniles, provides that the dea penalty may,. at the discretion of the jury, be inflicted, or a minimum ten year prison sentence for the sale of heroin to a person under the age of eighteen. In U1e event of the sale of marijuana or other narcotic; to a minor, the amendment provides a ten to forty year sentence. A first offense on a sale to an adult -provides for a five to twenty year sentence and from ten to forty years for subsequent offences. As a final clincher the act provides that all prison sentences imposed must be served in their entirety without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence. Investigators of the Bureau of Narcotics, United States Treasury Department, are constantly on the alert as to the world wide production and sale of raw opium and on guard to block the entry of illicit drugs into the United States. In addition, these in- vestigators work closely with state and local au- thorities in the apprehension of dope peddlers. NEW METHOD OF DETECTION FOUND In approaching the matter of narcotics enforcement on the state level it becomes necessary to discuss the service rendered the peace officers of the State of California by the medical profession. The doctor has always been a constant ally of the peace officer supplying vital information and testimony in homi~ cide and allied cases and in numerous other instan- ces. However in the field of drug addiction, the medi- cal world has uncovered a new and positi'v e weapon for use in detecting the narcotic addict Th' weapon is called Nalline. , 1s new The narcotics investigator has long be , en m need of a method or test whereby person's add' t' . , . 1c ion could be pos1hvely determined.

Nalline ha s proven to be the long sought answer. Nalline with the tongue twisting name of N-Allyl- normorphine hydrochloride is in itself a narcotic, but is known as a narcotic antagonist. It is employed by General Hospitals in cases where new born babies have been anesthetized from an opiate administered to the mother. In surgery it is used to alleviate respir- atory depression. It is further used in treating pa- tients suHering from an overdose of an opiate such as heroin, morphine and the like. Then in the eyes of the investigator, comes its main use--the diagnos- ing of those unfortunates addicted to the use of suc:h opiates as heroin, morphine, methadone and dilaudid. The Nalline test, as previously stated, is fairly simple. First the diameter of the pupil of the eye of the suspected addict is measured with a simple de- vice called a pupilmeter and then three milligrams of Nalline are injectetd under the skin. In about thirty minutes the subject is again examined and the eye pupil measured. If there is no narcotic present the pupil of the eye will contract from a half a milli- gram to as much as two milligrams. However in cases where the person is a user the pupil will dilate and the extent of addiction can then be determined by the degree of the dilation. Where the diameter of the pupil remains constant after the injection of Nalline, then the person is determined to be only an occasional user. In other words there must b e a marked contraction in the pupil before a subject is deemed to be a non-user. It must a lso be understood that this test is used in detecting the foregoing named drugs and cannot be used in the detection of mari- juana addicts or users of sedatives such as bcrrbitur- ates, paraldely de, chloral hydrates and bromides Nalline, used previously at the Public HeaJth Service Hospital at Lexington to bring out gToss withdrawal symptoms in heavily addicted persons, came to the attention of Dr. James D. Terry, of Ala- meda County in 1955. Dr. Terry, Medical Director of Alameda County Santa Rita Rehabilitation Center, and interested state and county authorities conducted a series of experiments. As stated, Nalline had been previously at Lexing- ton to bring on the nausea, vomiting, perspiring and severe muscular cramps suffered by the addict dur- ing withdrawal. The research conducted at Santa Rita by Dr. Terry and his associates revealed two things. First it would not be acceptable to either the person tested or the courts to fo tcibly bring on the agonizing withdrawal symptoms, and secondly, that withdrawal symptoms following an injection of Nalline do not accurately determine narcotic addic- tion. However they found a factor that remained con- stant and that was that the difference in the pupil reaction between the user and non-user. In the cases of known users the pupil of the eye dilated and in the non-user they contracted. It was further discov- ll'ne injected to , the amount of Na l ·thdrawal ered by reducmg uld eliminate the w1. Thus three milligrams they ~o t . the pupil reaction. the cl t mam am over symptoms an ye . le method to unc 'ti e safe and s1mp a pos1 v , narcotic addict was born.

These officers, especia lly those a ssigned to the nar- cotics squad, work closely with the state and county aides. The Sherill's Office is represented on this team by Sgts. Jack Anderson and William Cunningham, assisted by Sgt. A. Papaleo and Detective J. B. Wil- son assigned to gambling and prostitution investi, gation. Their activities are closely supervised by Sheriff Melvin A. MiH.mirth and Undersheriff James Long. In December 1957, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors and the Commissioners of the Ciiy of Fresno, joined in the fight by providing funds for the use of the Nalline test, by the local policing agencies. It was decided, by mutual consent, that the gen- eral administration of thi~ new method was to be in the hands of Sherill Wilmirth and Chief Morton and to be directly supervised by the Sheriff. It was further decided that the jail physician, Gerald K. Nider, would conduct the actual tests. The adoption of the Nalline method of addict de- tection has resulted in the mass arrest and conviction of known addicts and the reduction of those crimes generally attributed to the narcotic user. Those ad- dicts, fortunate or unfortunate enough (depending upon your point of view) to escape arrest have fled to greener pastures. Thus with the market destroyed the back of the local illicit traffic has been broken. TEAMWORK BRINGS RESULTS These men, representing the State of California and the County and City of Fresno, unhampered by bick- ering or pefty jealousies have pooled their ta lents and resources to form a pow erful team. All fhe in- formation obtained by these investigators is pooled and then evaluated. After the evalua tion of the infor- mation and evidence obtained, plans are carefully made and executed. The success of this united efrort is mirrored by the number of arrests cmd-sul:::secruer~ convictions. Just .a few cases in point wbi,:h ~c':;rve t-:-, illustrate, are: A thirty year habit came to an end with the arrest of fifty-nine year old Fook Hong V•long. The arrest came on February 16, 1957, as a result of an a..nony- mous tip. The suspect was taken into custody a s he left his West Fresno abode. On his person the arresting officers found ten bindles of heroin. Upon questioning, ihe suspect led the officers to his apartment and pointed out several other caches of heroin. The investigators also found an unloaded revolver and an injection kit in another hiding place. The arrest of Wong resulted in the seizure of 253 grains of heroin valued at $2,530.00. Further questioning revealed that Wong had been peddling the drug to oriental addicts only, dealing in large quantities. A physical examination of the sus- pect at the Fresno County Jail revealed several ulcer- ated needle marks on his left leq. Several sales of heroin to an undercover agent led to the arrest of twenty-seven year old Manuel Romo Delgado and a female companion in the Pine- dale home of Delgado. After two of the officers en· tered the rear door of the house the suspect attempted to flee by way of the front door and ran into the waiting arms of two other officers stationed at that point. In the clinched left hand of the suspect the officers found two eye droppers and a hypodermic needle wrapped in a match folder. A further search of Delgado led to the finding of $600 in currency, $590 of which was marked bills given him by the undercover agent. A search of the house led to the seizure of nineteen capsules of heroin, and several injection kits. The total seizure of heroin, including the sales to the undercover agent amounted to 409 grains valued at $4,090. Upon questioning, Delgado admitted that he had taken a "fix" shortly before his arrest. The case of the Cautious Peddler was concluded on July 13, 1957 with the arrest fo Jesus Duran Reyes. He was taken into custody after making a sale to an undercover agent on a West Fresno street. Reyes was extremely cautious in making his con- tact and sa~es and carefully screened his prospective customers. Contact was always made in the open and Reyes never carried the drug with him on initial contact even when the buyer was well known to him. The thirty-one year old peddler was not interested in the small time buyer and always insisted the sale be no less than $50.00. Reyes would7nake careful plans with the prospec- tive buyer and then proceed to his well hidden cache where he would pick up the agreed upon amount ot drug. The wary suspect would then carefully place the drug ~ a rubber baloon and place it in his mouth and drive . ba~k to the meeting place with a jar of water at his side. If faced with arrest o b . r upon ecom- mg ~duly alarmed the suspect would quickly grab the Jar of water and wash the tell-tal 'cl h. thr at e evi ence down 1S O .

Butierrez would drive to the spot at night with sev- eral five-gallon cans of water. Entering the orchard with lights off, he would carefully drive up to his hiding place and irrigate his illegal crop. His activities came to the attention of Constable Alvie Maze of Clovis, who promptly notified the Fresno County Sheriff's Office. Plans were carefully laid and Constable Maze along with county and state narcotic investigators surrounded the area. Gutierrez was taken into custody when he arrived about 9:45 p.m. with water for his thirsty plants. Gutierrez ad- mitted ownership of the plants and stated that he had been watering them daily since planting them the previous March. Gutierrez · was spared the labor of harvesting the crop, this job being cheadully taken care of by the investigators. Upon questioning, he ·stated that he had been a marijuana user for approxi- mately ten years, but that this was his first venture m the cultivation of the plant. He also stated that his habit had cost him between $20.00 and $30.00 a month during the past ten years. The case of Arthur V. Gonzales is a graphic example of the patience and perserverance of the narcotic investigators. His arrest by a combined squad of city and county investigators on August 9, 1957 culminated a four year investigation entailing many hours of surveillance and watchful waiting. Following his arrest and conviction he was sentenced to state prison where he joined his two brothers also serving terms for narcotic violations. Gonzales known also as "Little Arthur", with a past criminal record ranging from juvenile delinquen- cy to auto theft and narcotic smuggling was a large scale peddler and wholesaler to other peddlers and pushers. When questioned after his arrest he told the investigating officers that he had sold over a quarter of a million dollars during his six years as a peddler, but he walked through the jail door stone broke. Gonzales, a neat but flashy dresser, had nothing but contempt for the addict and derived a sadistic pleasure from taking their money and making them beg and grovel for as much as six or eight hours before handing over the drug. During his first four years in the illicit drug market, Gonzales remained free from any use of narcotics, but at last fell prey to his own evil stock in trade. The cause of his downfall was a current girl friend, her- self an addict, who teased and taunted him into try- ing the drug. Like all others he thought that he could stop at any time until it was too late-he was hooked. The news of his addiction was received with a great deal of satisfaction ·by his many victims for they knew he would now jig to the music to which they had so long danced. With the greater efficiency ·produc~d by the coor- dination of activity the combined nar~otics squads moved quickly to rid the city and county of known addicts and peddlers. 1 fall months During the late summer ant earw:re jailed C!Ild rnanY small time users and pus erst flod to greener . . rninent arres ~ many others feanng irn pastures of their own ace~~~-the net closed on Lauro Then on October 22, 1 ddl taken into cus-1 e scale, pe er f male M.

Their long hours of surveillance were rewarded on the night of January 13, 1958 when the investigat- ing officers received positive information that the suspect had a large quantity of narcotics hidden at his home in Southwest Fresno. A search warrant was quickly obtained while the officers continued to observe the suspects movements in the hopes that he would lead them to his illicit cache. Williams was trailed from house to house and night spot to night spot. Shortly after midnight as the suspect neared his home in company with a female companion he suddenly became aware that ·he was being trailed and drove on past his home.

WE BUY WRECKS Volunteers for ..... er s -I By WILLIAM D. SAFFORD, Sergeant A ir Transportation, Criminal Division At 2:30 A.M: on February 9 of this year a telephone call was received by the Fresno County Sheriff's Office. A man had parachuted from his plane. He was down somewhere in the rough and dangerous country around Pine Flat Dam. This call whipped the deputies to action. Sheriff Melvin A. Willmirth, chief law· enforcement officer in the county, is responsible for clocating downed aircraft, injured or lost persons and assisting in drownings and rescues. To aid him, the sheriff ha~ three auxiliary units affiliated with his office for utilization in search and rescue work. They are the Fresno County Sheriff's Air Squadron, the Fresno County Sheriff's Power Boat Squadron and the Fresno County Sheriff's Posse. The February 9 call was a part of a simulated rescue effort which was organized by the sheriff to test and perfect coordinated communications be- tween the three units and to keep them operating at a high level of efficiency. Through the call the sheriff's office learned that trn aircraft flying directly over Pine Flat Dam had developed trouble in its one engine. The pilot of the craft ordered his co-pilot to bail out in a final desper- .. .../ 25 ---- ate effort to lighten the load and increase the pilot's chances of bringing in his plane to safety. By six in the morning, the Power Boat Squadron had been fully alerted to move out by sunrise. Hav- ing checked their equipment and loaded it for trans- port, they carried out their orders to proceed to Pine Flat Lake and search the lake in the event the para- chuted airman had landed in the water. At eight o'clock, Captain Conrad Spomer met with all members of the Sheriff's Air Squadron at Chan- dler Field. He briefed the men on all details of the part they would play in the rescue. The posse, headed by Sheriff Willmirth, proceeded to Pine Flat Dam with their horses. They were re- sponsible for the ground search. The Air Squadron took to the a ir at eight A.M. In a short time they had located the victim, who ha d landed on the ground. Informatiqn of his exact lo- cation was relayed by radio communication to the- boat squadron and to the posse. The posse was directed from the air to the scene through notes, which were placed in spedal kits and dropped to the waiting Sheriff. "Wh e,1 the possP arrived at the scene, they examined tlit de. ,~ned , S H E R I FF W ILLMIRTH STANDS with the leaders of his three volunteer units. On the left is James E.

Althoug~ , 18 was a simulated rather than an actual rescue, it is a ll d on the three good example of the ca s ma e up d groups. These men are alerted, in any weather an under all sorts of conditions to handle calls as emergencies arise. . Primarily, the duties of the Air Squadron are, lil the event of a missing aircraft, lost or injured person, to fly out· locate the person or plane and relay the information to the-sheriff's office. The Power Boat Squadron assists in drownings on any lake or water- way within the county. The Squadron also assists in enforcing boating and water skiing regulations on various waterways throughout the county. The posse is maintained to aid with their horses ,on the ground whenever necessary. Sheriff Willmirth and his Squadron personnel are justly I?roud of their record in handling these disaster calls. They spend long hours in training themselves so that precious time can be saved in reaching those in trouble. Teamwork and timing characterizes the dedicated work of the air, water and land rescue teams of -the Fresno County Sheriff's office. K. C.

GELDERT FINE GIFTS AND CARDS s5 WEDDING INVITATIONS vAN Nf FRESNO 1473 NO, THE JOBS THE Y The present day Fresno County Sheriff's Office is the product of one hundred years of organization. Experiences of those years have been utilized wisely and new methods have been added continually, resulting in the smooth running, efficient office of today. The Sheriff's Office is divided into five basic divi- sions known as Administrative, Civil, Criminal, Identification and Records and Jail and Detention Facilities with each divi$ion being headed by a staff officer. CONTROL CENTER OF A COMPLEX ORGANIZATION AdministraUve and Special Services Division Nerve center of the organization is the Adminis- trative Division which is probably the most complex. Here policy is set for all divisions and standards of discipline are established and maintained. Deputy Sheriff candidates must be screened and their physi- cal fitness determined. Vacancies must be filled, promotional examinations held · and the b9st quali- fied candidate chosen. Personnel performance rating must be reviewed and approved and then forwarded to the county personnel officer. Establishing the yearly budget is one of the diffi- cult tasks required of this division. Requirements for each division must be carefully planned and prepar- ed for presentation to the Board of Supervisors. Crimes such as gambling, prostitution and nar- cotics are handled by the '"Special Services" which is under the immediate direction of the Sheriff and Undersheriff. To investigators in this department, pre-- SIERRA MEAT CO. BEEF CALVES HOGS Custom and Consignment Slaughter Ph. AM 8-5055 Fresno, Calif. 29 ,., ministration Bailiffs Civil Division .

In vice invest- igations such as. those involving narcotics, the sus- pect must be caught in the actual possession, sale or use of the narcotic;. Many hours of preparation are spent by highly specialized investigators before a raid occurs or an arrest is made. The Sheriff's Office, working in close cooperation with the District At- torney's Office, Fresno Police Dept. and State and Federal Officers form a strong force in th~ combating of vice and narcotic violations. Another branch of Administration is the Psycho- pathic Detail which is concerned with the apprehen- sion and court procedure of the mentally ill. In these processes, investigators handle cases with sympathy, understanding and tact, realizing the person he is handling is not a criminal but one who is ill and needs assistace in returning to a normal, happy life. Generally, the activities of these trained investigators are unknown, but their efforts are greatly appreciated by families who have called upon them. Consolidation of the office of the County Coroner and th s Sheriff's Office took place in 1951 . As a re- sult the Sheriff· was appointed Coroner and in this capacity is it his duty to investigate all deaths which result from accidental or fou l means and a ll natural deaths where the deceased was unattended by a physician within a reasonable time prior to death Since Fresno County has no central morgu-e, hearses or paid embalmers, the county is divided into districts and coroner cases are handled by pri- vate mortuaries in that district. A system of an equit- able monthly rotation occurs in those districts having (Continued on Page 34) "YOU CAN ALWAYS BUY SUNLAN D OIL PRODUCTS WITH CONFIDENCE1 ' SUNLAND REFIN ING CORPORATION Head Office -Fresno, California SHERIFF-CORONER and Superintendent of Industrial Camps INDUSTRIAL FARM & ROAD CAMP Custody of prisoners serving time.

Air, sea and land rescues are effected successfully because of the excellent equipment within the unit. The Uniform Division performs several important functions. A twenty-four hour radio car patrol is maintained by uniformed men patrolling rural resi- dential and commercial areas as a protection to the general public.

Jane and her parents are under care and working towards solving the problems that brought her before the juvenile authorities. This is a case typical in Fresno and all over the United States. It might just as well have been a boy instead of one of thousands of girls who make simi- lar mistakes every year -mistakes which are growing in number every year. This is one of the reasons why the Juvenile Bureau was established in the Sheriff's Department. Al- though the primary responsibility of the unit's five- member staff is thorough investigation directed to- wards rehabilitation, its work is divided into rive maior categories: 1. Discovery of delinquency. 2. Investigation of crime and cause of delin- quency. 3. Case disposition. 4. Protection of juveniles. 5. Delinquency prevention.

Some of their sources of information are: 1. Department personnel 2. Schools 3. Case workers and welfare agencies. 4. Parents, re latives and friends of the family. 5. Juveniles themselves 6. Probation department 7. California Youth Authority 8. Service organizations 9. Other County law enforcement agencies. 10. The gen~ral public Additionally, the Bureau maintains the objectives of the sheriff's office; the prevention of crime, the investigation of criminal offenses, the recovery of property and the apprehension and prosecution of offenders. Using their professional tools, the deputies obtain information on many types of cases: neglect, neigh- borhood or community hazards, abandoned children, unsupervised children, juvenile gang activity and activities of a ,criminal nature. It is essential that the juvenile officer remember, when investigating a delinquent condition or person, that there is a responsibility to ascertain the factors behind the delinquent behavior. There is often little to differentiate between the investigation of a juvenile case and that of an adult since both must be as thorough as possible. However, when the under- lying causes of delinquency in children are known, a more intelligent basis for referral or disposition of the case is possible. Three major tools are used in making disposition. of a case: recor9s, interviews and clinics. Records are obtained from the probation 0ffice, schools, CY A (paroles), other law enforcement agencies, Central Juvenile Index. Interviews are conducted with the subject or suspect, parents, victims, witnesses, neigh- bors, school teachers and probation officer. Clinica] tools are Child Guidance, Juvenile Hall, Family Ser- vice counselors, mental hygiene and protective ser- vice, or welfare. Statistics of juvenile work show clearly that not all the trouble comes from lower income or minority groups. Children from well-to-do homes a s well a ~ poor ones get into trouble. \ BENSON BAKERY 4474 BELMONT FRESNO BLACKSTONE TRAILER CO. RENTALS -MOVING AM 4-3760 250 N.

Since every case involving a juvenile must go through the Juvenile Bureau, a confidential and com- plete file is mcdntained. From the time a boy or girl is reported to the sheriff's office a record is kept on the youth until he is 18 years of age, then it is trans- ferred to the master file in the sheriff's office. Finger prints and photographs of the youth are kept on all felony charges involving those over 14 years of age. The residence of each known juvenile who has com- mitted a burglary ai-id of perpetrators of sex crimes is maintained in the office to help in pinpointing future offenses. This busy office and the hard working deputies work with every welfare, rehabilitation and law en- forcement agency in the county to help in the pre- vention of juvenile crime and delinquency. But, when a crime is committed, or a youth is brought to their attention, every effort is made to make wise dispo- sition of the case and to enable that boy or girl to return to society with added ability to lead right and healthy life. an up- LAWTON CROP DUSTERS SEEDING-SPRAYING -FERTILIZING DEFOLIATION _ INSURED LOCATED AT FURLONG FIELD 1091 N.

The Christmas tinsel dec- orating the small cafe seemed to have lost all of its glitter and meaning though it was only one day after Christmas. The cafe was filled with a noon day crowd com- prised of post holiday travelers and airmen from nearby Hamilton Air Force Base. At a nearby table sat three men, two of whom were engaged in amiable conversation as they enjoyed their meal. The third man seemed ill at ease and fidgity. Suddenly this man clutched at his sto- mach as if in pain, telling his companions "I'm going to be sick." Jumping to his feet he ran to the rest room and locked the door behind him. For one startled moment the other two remained seated at the table then followed him and began pounding on the doqr. When the door remained closed the two men put their shoulders to it and after several at- tempts. managing to snap the lock. The open window attested to the manner in which their former guest had departed. The two men whirled and charged back through the amazed onlookers, drawing their revolvers as they ran. Once outside they made a quick circuit of the building but their reluctant companion was no- where in sight. Thus • on Decemb~r 26, 1947 was the escape of James Franklin Wolfe accomplished. This escape was the first in a chain of events that was to come to a dramatic climax some thirty days later. Wolfe, age thirty-five, under committment to San Quentin Prison on a charge of forgery was being transported from Woodland, Yolo County, to the State Prison. At Ignacio, Califorrua, on U.S. Highway 101 a short distance north of San Rafael and nearby San Quen- tin, the transporting officers had stopped to feed their Prisoner a final meal outside prison walls. Taking advantage of the crowded cafe Wolfe executed his daring spur-of..the-moment escape. •• •• •• • •♦ Globe ~ .. RECAPTURE ,C Three days later in the early evening of December 29, a two-tone blue and grey 1940 Chevrolet Sedan pulled into a service station on Hiway 40 at Benicia Road, Vallejo, California. The station owner, Ivan Clarke walked up and peered in at the driver. "Hi Charley! What will it be tonight?" "I'd sure like to get the old crate serviced tonight if I could!" The driver, sixty-seven year old Charles Clark Peters, 533 Virginia Street, Vallejo, a traveling sales- man for an auto parts concern was well known to the station owner. In the ensuing convetsation, Peters informed in- formed Clark that he was leaving the following morning on his annual vacation and was planning to visit friends and relatives at Glendale, A..rizona. It was agreed that Clark would mount new tires and tubes on the rear wheels. At 9:30 p.m. that night, Peters returned to the sta- tion and after paying his bill drove off into the night. Earlier on this same evening, three United States Marines, destined to play important roles in the un- folding drama left their base at Mare Island Navy Yard on a six day leave. These Marines, PFC Stanley P. Kane, age 19, PFC Albert M. Johnson, age 20 and Cpl Michael A .Boyd planned to hitch hike to Los Angeles for the New Year holiday. Leaving Oakland, California they caught a ride to Fresno, arriving at about 10:30 p.m. Deciding it would be easier to catch a ride the following morning they obtained a room at the Travelers Hotel, leaving word at the desk to be called at 8:00 a.m. Upon being awakened the following morning the Marines dressed and left the hotel. Once on the street they went in search of a place to eat, finding one about a block from the hotel. th y asked the restaurant e ·de and As theY were leaving lace to catch a n t the best P k outh, the cashier as o oi.nt five bloc ~ s about a half were directed to a P. t they waited for " at the Walking to this poJ.D . to "The Plaza d d were then driven d thern off an an hour an t' The driver droppev· 11·a Picking V. 11·a June 10n. . of 1sa • 1sa . the direction uth to a then headed off J.D Marines walked so . uck their gear the three . rt There their 1 Pu~int opposite the Visalia A1rp:; after ccxr passed rt d thern as d' e:x-temporarily dese e . d thurnb and plea mg. them ignoring the hoist~ d still no offer of a nde. pression.

As they continued on southward, W es continueJ to expand on his past experiences, offering his pas- sengers a drink from his bottle. The offer was refused by the marines and accepted by the soldier where- upon Wes began berating the Marine Corp a nd praising the U. S. Army. Their drive southward was interrupted by stops at Tipton and Pixley when Wes brought his passen- gers a round of drinks, cashing a $20.00 travelers check on each occasion. Upon receiving the change he would quickly stuff it in his pocket. Reaching Delano, Wes again went in search of q tavern and after ordering a round of drinks for him- self and his guests, again offered the bartender a travelers check in payment. The bartender picked up the check and examined it closely and then re• d 1t to Wes stating that there was a difference o signatures on the face of the check.

The bartender then handed Wes a pad and pen- cil and asked him to sign his name several times. After he had completed the signatures, the barten- der again examined them, comparing them with the check. After completing his examination, the bar- tender again refused to cash it As _the discussion grew more heated, Kane and Johnson picked \lP the check and examined it. They noted that the check was dravrn on American Ex- press Co. and made payable to C. C. Peters in the amount of $20.00. They further noted a distinct dif- ference In the signature made at the time of pur- chase and the one written by Wes. As the Marine put the check on the counter Wes suddenly slammed a handful of currenc d ' , Y own on thr,; bar and told the bartender to take what he needed.

C. Peters while it laid undetected for nearly a month. After waiting in the car for more than thirty minutes, the marines went in search of Wes. As they entered the bar, they found Wes and the soldier drinking with two girls. By this time, it was mid- afternoon and the marines, disgusted by the slow progress, informed Wes that they were going to leave. They returned to the car, picked up their luggage· and headed for the highway Lr1 search of another ride. A short time later, Wes and Hall left this bar and walked to a neighboring establishment where they ate and had several more drinks. During this time, Wes cashed iwo more Travellers Checks. Shortly after 3:00 p.m., they returned to the parked auto and headed :for Bakersfield. As they headed south on the three-lane highway, Wes pull~ out into the center lane to pass several cars in front of him. As he did so, the car immediately in front of him, pulled out at the same time. In turning to avoid this car, Wes lost control and they turned several complete turns on the roadway; however, the vehicle remained upright and did not roll but came to a stop at the edge of the road. A hurried examination re- vealed no damage to themselves or the car. Proceeding on to Bakersfield at a reduced speed, Wes related that he was married and that, due to some differences, he and his wife had separated. During this conversation, he stated the car belonged to his wife. Arriving at Bakersfield, Wes again went in search of a tavern and again cashed another Travellers Check, returning the change to his pocket. After one drink, they returned to the car and drove around for some time stopping occasionally at a bar for a drink, managing to cash three more checks. In turning a corner, Wes sideswiped a parked car, uickly to the outskirts Without stopping, he drove q h wadded currencY of town and parked.

At the bar, Wes became friendly with a patron and the two left the bar, re- turning approximately 15 minutes later. After their return, Wes informed the soldier that he had loaned this man ten dollars. A short time later, Wes became angry at his new-found friend and struck at him, then attempted to smash a beer bottle intending to use the jagged glass as a weapon. failing this, he entered the kitchen and returned with a butcher knife but was disarmed by friends of his intended victim. The stranger quickly left the bar irl company of a man and two female companions.

Peters, had been found abandoned at a Wickenburg, Ari- zona motel by a man who gave his name as Charles Peaks and his address as Redding, California. A subsequent search had failed to produce any information concerning the whereabouts of Peaks or Peters. A two-state alarm was put out for the arrest of Peaks, described as white, 30-35 years, 5'9", 170 lbs., brown hair with a thre or four day growth of beard. As the days passed, the officers followed many fruitless leads. A search of the vast desert area by California and Arizona authorities failed to uncover a body or any sign of the missing man or his sus- pected murderer. The first break in the case came on January 20, when the three marines, Kane, John- son and Boyd, appeo:red at the Vallejo police depart- ment. Kane reported January 15 while on guard duty that he had heard a newscast concerning the disap- pearance of Peters but dismissed it from mind. On the weekend of January 17 and 18, Johnson and Boyd were in Sonoma, California and read a news article concerning Peters. Returning to the base, they showed the clipping to Kane. Realizing the significance of their trip to Southern California, they quickly sought permission from their Base Comman- der to report their information to the police. The information and additional description of the suspect was quickly flashed to the Arizona authori- ties. On the morning of aJnuary 21, Inspector Gold- berg of the Vallejo Police Department, in going over the "Wanted" notices on the department bulle- tin board, ran across a bulletin displaying a picture and physical description of James Franklin Wolfe, wanted by the Yolo County Sheriff for Escape. Noting a distinct similarity in the description of Wolfe, Charles Peaks and the mysterious Wes, Inspector Goldberg took the notice from the board and headed for the office of Lt. Morris, who was heading the in- vestigation. Lt. Morris went immediately to the Mare Island Naval Base in the company of an F.B.I. agent. The three marines were interviewed separately and shown the "Wanted" notice concerning Wolfe and, without hesitation, they indentified ihm as the "Wes" with whom they had ridden on their trip to Los An- geles. The same day, the two officers traveled to Woodland, California where they interviewed depu- ties of Sheriff F. D. Monroe, from whom Wolfe had escaped, and obtained photos and pertinent informa- tion concerning the relatives and personal habits of the wanted man. On the basis of the information received at Wood- f Wolfe were d description o Arizona, land, the photogr~hs ~:hardson at Globe25 Sheriff malled to Sheriff Btl~otograph on ranuar~ng I a man Upon receipt of thhe' p deputy recalled see TheY also 'chard n and is f Globe. ,, Ri so lf the streets O "Coyote resembling WoH \~~ Wolfe, also known ;s learned ::!~:~:.~ ; Glo~5 ~~~t~~~~;;'witl ~;I~ t~: the wanted man was was working the officers that his brother dr d miles back-countrY bestos mine about one hun e 1948 from Globe. .

A search of the body at the morgue revealed several papers bearing the name of C. C. Peters and a Valley ad- dress. An autopsy performed later that day revealed death was due to strangulation. Upon receiving tentative identification of the body, Fresno County Undersheriff John Ford contacted the Vallejo police by telephone, requesting information concerning Peters. Ford was immediately given information regarding Peters and the wanted man.

After hiding the body, he drove the car back to the highway and turned south. He denied that rob- bery was the motive and stated that he started cashing the Travelers Checks after finding them in the victim's coat pocket which had been left in the car. With Wolfe's confession the wheels of justice were quickly set in motion and he was sentenced to the State Prison at San Quentin, California and subsequently transferred to Folsom Prison. The pre- siding magistrate determined the crime to be that of murder in the first degree and sentenced the prisoner to a life term. This however was not to be the final chapter in the twisted, violent life of James Franklin Wolfe for on May 8, 1953 Wolfe and convict Joseph Johansen fatally stabbed a fellow convict Harold Stricker. The stabbing occurred in the prison yard at Folsom Pri- son while the unsuspecting victim was engrossed in a game of dominos. The motive for the murder? An arguement and. continued ill feeling between the • · three men over a previous domino game. Wolfe and Johansen were transferred to the County Jail at Sacramento, California charged with murder. On July 17, 1953 a jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder. in the first degree. The two prisoners were sentenced to death, and transferred to "Death Row" at San Quenten Prison where on July 30, 1954 a white pellet dropped into a container of acid wrote finis to the violence that was James Franklin Wolfe.

TURNEY FARM LABOR CONTRACTOR AD 3-8676 2206 Claro Fresno Y DAY JUS TICE WA S OFTEN VIOLENT Deeds of violence often received a 'like justice in the early days of Fresno County. Human life was sacrificed with utmost casualness in the settlements along the Kings and San Joaquin Rivers,-at Fire- baugh, Buchanan and along the road leading from Crane Valley to Millerton. Whiskey was plentiful and life was cheap to the men who were seeking a quick and easy fortune in this new land. Many of those bloody deeds were done before the formation of Fresno County from the vast territory of Mariposa County. The district seat of justice was in the town of Mariposa, far removed from the Fresno territory. Justice was conveniently distant, and the settlers resolved their quarrels with gun and fist. Early treatment of the Indian was typical of the cruel roughness of the times. Little consideration was given these primitive and defenseless people. Force and harshness characterized the dealings of the white man with his Indian neighbor. When the In- dian$ rebelled against the barbaric treatment he was receiving and tried to fight back, the whites banded together and pursued and massacred the Indian fighting for his land and home. Yet, this situation was common in California in the raw days of its growth. Ther:e was little formal gov- ernrnen t and each man was forced to guard his life and his possessions. With all this, there has been but one legal hanging in Fresno County. Dr. F. 0 . Vincent, a known dipso- maniac and drug addict, was hanged in the court of the county jail in Courthouse Park, after due pro- cess of law , at noon on October 27 , 1893. Jay Scott was sheriff at that time, with F. G. Berry as his under- sheriff. Vincent's case is No. 651 in the Register of Criminal Actions in the superior courts of the county. As a result of the Vincent case, the law was changed to make the warden at the State Peniten- tiary the State Executioner. Prior to this change in the law, the sheriff was officially designated to carry out .-. the death penalty for murderers convicted in the county. Another of the famous cases and characters in the criminal history of the county is that of Joaquin Mur- ieta, the bandit and murderer who ranged from the Sierras to the Pacific Coast around Monterey and Salinas. One of the many retreats of this cutthroat was in the Cantua Hills of the coast range in the southern portion of the county. A posse was success- ful in routing the fellow from his hiding place. Mur- ieta was killed in the ensuing battle and was be-- headed. This gory trophy was displayed with great pride at Millerton, the county seat. Captured with Murieta, and suffering his same fate, were his prin• th violent end of A result of e form cipal lieutenants. s a scattered, never to th i leader Murleta's gang f peace to the en-e r ' . measure o ain thus restoring a ~g ' d camps tire area. f Chinese stores an . h I 1863 the looting O re at least e1g t n , 1 There we became an acute prob em. responsible for the d in the gang , 1 at known despera oes A drew Johnson s Pace raids.

On his release, Raines headquartered in Raines Valley, east of Centerville. Soon -he had organized a new gang and they got busy with cattle and hog rustling. This soon became tiresome to the-neighbors. One lovely sunny morning Raines' body was found hanging from a tree in the valley that bears his name. These incidents occured in Fresno County when justice was in its infancy in the area. From that time we have built a judicial system in which we all take pride, confident that each man may have his day in court, secure in the knowledge that he will receive a just hearing.

A busy court is that of Clovis where Ben H. Boul- ton is Judge. Judge Boulton w as appointed in Octo- ber, 1944 to the office of City Judge. In 1945, on the death of Judge Burke, Judge Boulton was appointed by the Board ?f Supervisors to fill the unexpii;ed term as Justice of the Peace. He was re-elected each fol- lo~ term until 1951 when the courts were consoli- dated and Judge Boulton became Judicial District Judge. Prior to his service as Judge, he had been a traveling salesman and rancher. Judge Boulton was born in Kansas. There is a high percentage of criminal cases in Clovis over motor vehicle violations. An idea of the volume of work of a Justice of Peace can be gained by the fact that more than 20,000 defendants have been arraigned, tried, or had their cases reviewed by Judge Boulton since 1948. The 1957 case load was 2,900. Fines and fees collected amounted to about $30,000. The Constable is Alvie C. Mase, with Bill Bratton serving as Deputy Constable.

West to many of those young men meant the rich and plentiful land of the California territory. One of those who joined the western trek was to become a prominent citizen and judge in Fresno County. Even before his arrival in Fresno in 18851 E. W. Risley had made his name a respected one in the west. Settling first in the Arizona Territory, young Risley held a number of positions of trust in that area. From official court reporter for the entire territory, he became deputy United States Marshall and dep- uty district attorney in famed Cochise County, with headquarters in the violent city of Tombstone. Later, he was clerk of the board of supervisors in Pima County. During his residence in Tucson, the county seat, young Risley was rr civic leader as a member of the city council and watched the village change from a Spanish pueblo to a burgeoning city. As a member of the tetrritorial legislature, Risley became chairman of the judicial and Appropriations Committees of the state. Since his arrival in Arizona, Risley had watched his fortunes rise and fall from pauper to millionaire; he now made his way to Fresno, where he was to become judge of the Superior Court, Department No. 1, in 1895, ten years after his arrival. He served in this capacity with distinction until 1900. He had gained admittance to the Supreme Court of the State 87 g Store PRESCRIPTION PHARMACISTS 1965 HIGH STREET PH.

He also held positions as fire and police commissioner for four years. Judge Risley was born in New Haven, Conn., on March 1, 1853, a direct descendent of Richard Risley, founder of Hartford in 1635. He received his degree in law from Knox College, Galesburg, IlL and began his journey west to California in 187 4. At the age of 65, fudge Risley died on December 15, 1918. He lived a colorful and rewarding life, giv- ing all he sad to the State, County and City which he had adoptetd as his own.

Phone 3711 COUNTY BOARD OF PAROLE COMMISSIONERS A prisoner of Fresno County, whom we shall call Smith, was showering after a day's work on the county prison farm when a guard called to him. "Smitty," the ~ard said with ag rin, "Your appli- cation to the county parole bocrrd has gone through." "No kidding?" Smith's smile was estatic. This could mean an end to his imprisonment, that he had fulfilled an obligation to the society which ·he had erred against several months before. Smith's application for parole had been filed four weeks earlier. Since that time, the Fresno County Parole Commission, which is headed by Sheriff Mel- vin A. Willrnirth, had sifted through the prisoner's past to determine if he were ready to return to life outside of restraint. There have been many Smiths whose crimes have sent them to jail. They have been sentenced by the various courts to varying terms. Like our Smith, each has a right to ask the commission to allow him free- dom on parole. An adequate parole system is society's best pro- tection for a healthy social structure. The principle of parole is a sound and essential element of the law enforcement system. These are the beliefs and prin- ciples of Sheriff Willmirth and his fellow members of the parole board. This group of its representatives meets ever:1 other Tuesday afternoon in the sheriffs office to de-_ termine the validity and merit of applications for parole submitted by prisoners serving their sentences in the County Jail, Jail Annex, Fresno County Indus- trial Road Camp or other city jail facilities within Fresno County. Serving with Sherill Willmirth on the Paroie Board are Ben Nordling, an appointee of the Superior Court, and Lloyd Stagner, Fresno County Probation Officer. Representative for Mr. Stagner is Frank Bailey, as-- sistant probation officer, adult division, and the Sheriff's representative in his absence is Undersheriff James D. Long. The secretary and parole officer is John B. Wilson, with offices in the Sheriff's Office. The Parole Commissioners handle all cases orig- inating and sentenced from the Superior, Municipal and Judicial District Courts in Fresno County. They function through a set of rules adopted by the com- mission and approved by the courts and the county counsel office. for a prisoner to be eligible for parole considera- t, he must have completed half of his sentence. 10n, d d Jail sentences to the county jail, roa camp an HAROLD'S SERVICE STATION VI 6-9603 VI 6-9909 W,.

Shortly after committ- ment to the jail. inmates are called before a classifi- cation or screening board w hich must determine the type of security to which the prisoner will be as- signed. This will be either maximum or minimum in the county jail. Those prisoners selected for minimum security are sent to the Coalinga Road Camp. How- ever, if the violation be minor, such as drunkedness the prisoner is forwarded to the Industrial Farm at Kearney. When the time comes for a prisoner to be consid- ered for parole he is informed of his eligibility and furnished with a form for his application to the parole board. These applications are sent to the parole of- ficer at least four weeks rior to his eligibility. This is done so that a pre-parole investigation concerning the inmate's offense, record, background, etc., can be made. A report is drawn-up from these facts gathered by the parole officer and then presented to the parole board for further study. , It is not easy to obtain a parole. Good parole practice demands three fundamental processes: Pre- paration, selection and supervision of an eligible prisoner. Each eligible inmate is entitled to a thorough and conscientious treatment of his application. F.ach c;ase must be given individual consideration since the board deals with human freedom. The parole board keeps this fact uppermost in its mind., Each case is determined on its own merit to assure the system's best results; paroles are not granted indis- criminately nor lightly. Penologists and parole authorities are in accord with the concept that premature and successive grants of parole not only fail to deter, but actually encourage certain men and women to continue crim- inal activity. One of the main pitfalls in parole work is a policy of automatic parole. The Fresno board does not follow automatic parole, believing that a parole is not leniency or clemency. Parole is, when granted to the worthy, and a ccompanied by firm and helpful guidance, insurance to protect society at large and to assist cm individual to improve him- self for better citizenship. The Fresno County Board of Parole Commissioners is fully cognizant of :ifs duty to the public. It strives constantly to maintain its function on the highest plane possible. With this in mind, the board members work dili- gently for the protection of society and the welfare of the off ender.

That is the goal of a new crime detection and pre- vention program instituted during the past year by the Fresno Sheriff's Office. The plan is very simple in principle, somewhat more difficult to maintain at maximum efficiency, but most effectife in getting re- sults. Every morning at 8 o'clock there is a meeting in the basement of the jail of detetctives, department heads and members of the patrol. The meetings, which last for from ten to twenty minutes, are quite informal and the procedure simple. The men have an open discussion in a true "round table" fashion about current law enforcement matters. The only difficulty results from the fact criminals respect no time schedule so investigations often prevent a 100% attendance. Sometimes the discussions are kicked off with someone presenting a problem. Maybe a few facts are m"issing on a case, or identification is weak, so he lets everyone know about it. The information may not be forthcoming at the meeting, but everyone knows what he is looking for and can be on the ·lookout for it. Department heads ·are responsible for alerting their staffs about matters which might effect them. Another time a deputy may think that a suspect has more of a background than the files rev~a1-so - he asks the group about it. One morning, for ·nstancec! a deputy reported that he had picked up a s~spect-~- who was in possession of a number of unusuaf 'items including an oddly shaped knHe. One of ihe pcrlroi:.,... men asked a few questions. The knife so;nded 1i:♦ce-:.:.-~ --~ one taken in a Northside burglar.;y, They chechs<l-it -:4::· out and found it w as the same knHe, and ~that the - suspect was not only guilty of the theft, but of a _pum~ ber of others a lso.

POORE, Deputy Mentally Ill Detail, Administrative Division An alert Deputy Sheriff on routine night patrol noted the old car parked off the roadway in a little used side yard. He'd never seen any cars there be- fore and recalled that the owners of the exclusive home were away. After· noting the license number of the car, the patrolman continued on his rounds. Within a day, this small notation was to play a major part in solving a $10,000 burglary and resulted in the capture of the gang who preyed upon a lovely home filled with treasure. When the report of a burglary came into the Sheriffs Office, deputies investigated and found the house had been ransacked of guns, silver, furnish- ings and other valuable items. Clues were few and the officers began sifting 0£ the meagre evidence, questioning neighbors at the scene of the break-in and checking files. Before long they were reading the report made by the patrolman on duty the night of the theft. Here was something worth checking and the license number of the parked car was checked out. The car belonged to a Fresno man and officers were dispatched to question him. At the home of the now suspect car owner, deputies found the entire loot hidden within the house. So the burglary, and several others, was solved, the stolen property re- turned to its rightful owner and the culprits were duly tried and convicted, all due to the alertness and training of the Fresno County Sheriff's Office Patrol Division deputies. One of the most important divisions of any maior law enforcement agency is the patrol division and Fresno County Sheriff Melvin Willmirth is justly proud of his own agency. Headed by Lt. Donald Christopher, the patrol functions much like a well oiled machine. Suburban areas outside the City of Fresno are patrolled 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Hundreds of calls a month are checked out and the deputies are called upon to handle everything &om preliminary investigations of felonies to assist- ing other law enforcement agencies in attempting to settle neighborhood arguments. As in the case cited above, patrolmen are always alert, checking any suspicious incident or object or person. In the matter of a suspicious car, for instance, the patrolman thinks of abandonment, that the car may have been used in the commission .of a ~ur- glary or robbery, or it may be a stolen vehicle. Frr~t, he checks for the registration slip with the owner s name and address. If this is ldcking, he then checks the license number or motor number. ?n his return to headquarters, the patrolman sends m a request to the Sacramento office of the Department of Motor Vehicles for the registered owner of the car and a further check to find out if the car is wanted in con- nection with a crime or if it has been stolen. Sacramento's reply includes such information as the registered owner's name and a ddress, the make and model of the automobile, the legal owner's name and address and information regarding the sta tus of the car, whether reported stolen, or wanted in connection with a crime anywhere in the state. Turning do~ a quiet str~et in a residential sec- tion the Patrol Deputy suddenly spots the figure of a man lurking in the shadows or sauntering down the sidewalk. The hour is late and the mans dress and demeanor is not in keeping with the general appearance of the neighborhood. Pulling up along- side the man the deputy flicks on the patrol car's red lights and alights, flashlight in hand. After identi- fying himself the officer questions the man as to name, address and reason for being on the streets at the late and unusual hour. Dissatisfied with the man's story he asks him to produce identification. Stepping to his patrol car he picks up the microphone and radios headquarters asking them to check the subjects name with ihe warrant and wanted list on file in the office. Detecting too many discrepancies in the mans story or finding him wanted the man is then taken to headquarters for further interrogation. This is a nightly occurance and is carried out quietly and efficiency and in most cases the residents are unaware that anything unusal occured. Many times the beat patrolman is called upon to act as a crime prevention unit. At these times, the culprits are generally juveniles who are violating the county curfew ordinance. Rival gangs of teen- agers may be planning a gang-fight and if the offi- cers intervene a fight can be prevented and the boys returned to their homes before trouble developes. Generally, the patrolmen are dispatched through the Sheriffs Office and it is interesting to follow some of these calls from the time of their receipt until the call, the investigation and the case are completed. Calls come in to the telephone operator who routes the call to the desk, where the desk officer gets th'.? facts of the complaint, the complaintant's name and address and the nature of the call. For instance , an excited voice cries, ''I've been robbed!" -the desk officer immediately dispatches a patrol car to the scene and continues talking to the victim for further information regarding the crime, but also to calm the victim. The patrolman hurries to the scene, taking over initial investigation of the crime, getting more information from the victim.

A: Three men. 0 : Describe these men. A: One was about six feet tall, slender, wore brown slacks, green shirt and a brown sport coat. The other was about 5 feet, 9 inches, stocky build; he wore gray slacks, a white shirt and gray coat. The other fellow was in the car and I didn't see him. Q: How were the men armed? A: The tall one had a revolver out, the shorter man had an automatic. Q: What kind of a car was used? A: It was a late model sedan, 4-door. I don't know what kind. I know it was four door because one of the men got in the back seat when they drove away. I was so scared I couldn't even think to get their license plate number. Q; In which direction did they leave? A: South. Down the main street. Armed with this scanty information, the patrolmen called their office and a local broadcast alerted all patrolmen on duty to watch for these men and the car. In felony crimes, the detective division is called on to carry on the investigation and to follow up on in- terviews. The patrolman, having gathered early and valuable information, now turns over the case to the detectives and has completed his phase of the job of solving the crime. But, his nights work is not finished y et. From the scene 0£ the robbery he may be dispatched by head- quarters to check out another all of a ver-. diliGrent nature. Family disturbances are the cause of a num- ber of calls ·to the Sheriffs Office. This type of ca ll presents an entirely different approach b y the officer. Upon his arival at the home, memb ers of the family may be arguing violently. The firs thing to -~1-~ done is to separate the combatants and to a,:-a!np' t ' qe-t a coherent story from each.

Sometimes it is neces- sary to send one of the combatants off to the h~me of a friend or relative for th al n f th l11 ht a nd a cooling off period. Even when an actual busy, the patrolman 1 till tJ oilh bars and taverns on his beat, where frequ nt aw s and fisticuffs get started as drinking gets heavy and tempers short. Then, an ambulance is called to haul away the victim of someone's fists or knite, the patrolman makes his report and any arrests neces- sary. Each case the patrolman handles is different, eacq day brings new assignments and new problems, new people. With good equipment, new technical know - ledge, coupled with the cooperation of the public, the Sheriff's Office Patrol Division is giving prompt tention to a ll calls from the citizens of Fresno County. The patrol officer continually developes new ideas to enable him to do a better job. One of the newest of these ideas is the Patrol Follow Crew, which works during the day to follow up on misdemeanor cases handled but not fully investigated by the night patrol- man. This gives the detectives more time to cover felony cases. Increased radio service now gives the patrolmal). greater opportunity to work closely with. his fellow patrolmen such as w hen the need arises to use the car-to-car radio in dispatching patrol cars to a scene in the shortest possible time. Working around the clock, the Night Patrol Divi- sion functions for the protection of the life and pro- perty of the citizens of Fresno County, enabling them to rest content in the knowledge that their sleep is guarded, that their property safe from the depreda- tions of the crimina l element.
