Some died from natural causes, others were ki !led in line of duty. All are sorely missed. The Review extends a sincere gesture of ~ympathy to the families of these men, and pledges that they will not be forgotten. Sergeant Robert K. Ledbetter was the only active member of the Sheriff's De­ partment to pass away during the year. His sudden death from acute luekemia was a shock to all his friends and fellow employees. During his ten years as a member of the Department he made many friends, and was well known for his unique sense of hu­ mor, an outspoken, conscientious individual, and a dedicated officer. It will be diffi­ cult to fill the void left by his passing. Sergeant Ledbetter was born on March 13, 1920, in Sidney, Nebraska. He at­ tended elementary school in Paonia, Colorado, high school in San Leandro, California, and the College of the Sequoias in Vis'llia. He was a veteran of the u.S. Navy, having served in bothWorld War II and the Korean War. Most of his service was as an Elec­ trician's Mate on a destroyer and an aircraft carrier. Following his discharge from the Na vy, Bob worked as an electrician for a short time. He joined the Sheriff's Department in 1952, and worked in the Security Division and as a bailiff until 1954, when he beome a field investigator in the Identi­ fication Bureau. He was promoted to the rank of sergeant in December of 1961. Bob was a member of the Methodist Church, the IOOF in Selma, the Fresno County Peace Officer's Association, and the Fresno County Employees Association. He is survived by his wife, Nettie Jean and two daughters, Sharon and Kathleen, of Selma. He also leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl W. Ledbetter of Chino, California, and nine brothers and sisters. Eldon Lee "Jack" Fisher was not a regular member of the Department, but he worked with us for so many years that we thought of him as such. He was born in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, on April 4, 1901, and passed away in Fresno in May of last year. Jack spent most of his early life working in the lumber industry in Idaho. He came to Fresno in 1927, and worked for several years for the Sugar Pine Lumber Company as a trimmer at their Pinedale mill. During World War II he served with the U.S. Navy Sea bees in the Aleutian Islands. After the war he worked for the Peer­ less Pump Company until 1951, when he retired after a near fatal accident on Pache­ co Pass. (Continued on Next Page) 5 t.. Sgt. R. K. Ledbetter E. L Fisher Constable R . P. Valdez , -.~ . M. A. Pohl c. V. Martin Jack first became affiliated with the Sheriff's Department in 1950, when he became a member of the Sheriff's Aero Squadron. A few years later when the Sheriff's Uniformed Reserve Unit was organized, he was one of the first to join. In 1957 he was made a regular deputy on a temporary basis, and worked full time for several months in the patrol division. He performed his duties so well, and was so well liked by the regular officers, that during the next few years his employment amounted to practically a full time job. When temporary help was needed, his was the first name mentioned. Many young regular officers acquired a great deal of knowledge in work­ ing with people under trying situations from Jack Fisher. He never interfered, or tried to tell a regular officer what to do, but he was always ready with a steadying word of advice and encouragement when it was needed. Jack was a member of the Mason ic lodge and the Scottish Rite. He is survived by his wife Pearl, and two sisters. (Continued on Next Page) 6 Constable Richard P. Valdez of the Fowler Judicial District was killed in an automobile accident on January 2nd, 1962. His automobile struck a large tree in the dividing strip of 99 Highway south of Malaga. Constable Valdez was born in Tres Pinos, San Benito County, on September 7th, 1921. He attended school there, and worked several years as a salesman and as a bartender before entering law enforcement. He had experience as a police officer in San Benito County and as a member of the Fowler Police Department. On July 2, 1957 he was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to the vacancy created by the resigna­ tion of veteran Constable Elmer York. He is survived by his wife, Lucy and one child. April 21, 1962 was a day of tragedy for the Fresno County squad of the California Highway Patrol. Jerry E. Turre, one of the unit's finest young officers, was killed in line of duty. About 1: 3 °a.m. he and his partner had been assigned to the investigation of a traffic accident on 99 Highway north of Church Avenue, di­ rectly in front of the local CHP headq uarters building. Jerry was setting flares along the southbound lane when he was struck by a motorist, who sped away without stop­ pIng. He was thrown ninety feet from the point of impact, and was killed ins'tantly. The driver of the car was later apprehended, convicted of manslaughter, and sen­ tenced to a year in jail. Jerry was a native of Yreka, Siskiyou County. He had been a member of the California Highway Patrol since 1956. He was transferred to Fresno in 1958 from the Crescent City squad. He is survived by his wife, Rosalie, four children, his par­ ents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Turre of Yreka, and a brother, Byron of Cloverdale. Myron A. Pohl, a former sergeant in the Sheriff's Department, passed away on September Jrd. He was born in Williamtown, Missouri, on January 31, 1905, and had lived in California since childhood. He was a graduate of the Fresno Tech­ nical High School. He became a member of the Department in August of 1945, and retired because of disability on July 31, 1956. During his career with the Department he served as bailiff, jailer, transportation of ficer, worked in the Civil Division and as a desk officer in the Patrol Division. He is survived by his wife, Carmelita, who lives at 1804 E. Vassar Avenue in Fresno. Another veteran Fresno County peace officer who was dosely connected to the Department was Cleo Vern Martin. He retired from the Fresno Police Depart­ ment in October of 1950, completing twenty-five years of service. He was born in Visalia on September 20, 1891. In 1956 he began working for the Sheriff's Department as a transportation officer, on a part-time basis. He was employed more or less steadily in this capacity until 1959, when he was injured in an automobile accident. He never fully recovered his health after the accident, and was forced to quit work altogether. He passed away on March 31st of last year. 7 Fame is Fickle Human nature is such that most of us are usually flattered and pleased to see our names in newspapers. This may be true even when the news story is not exactly complimentary. For George Jose Jaso, however, newspaper and tele­ vision publicity turned out to be far from a blessing. It is safe to assume that he hopes his name is never again brought to the attention of the public. Shortly after midnight on January 1, 1963, Jaso became the father of Fresno's first baby of the new year. Local newspapers printed a rather elaborate story about the blessed event, and later a television appearance was arranged. The newspaper story caught the eye of an investigator in the Fresno County Welfare De­ partment. The name of the proud pappa seemed vaguely familiar. He checked his files when he went to work the next day, and was not unduly astonished to learn that several months earlier a warrant had been issued in the Selma Justice Court for Jaso's arrest. The warrant had not been served because the defendant had moved and left no forwarding address. This bit of information was supplied by the helpful newspaper reporter who wrote the story. Within a short time the father found himself again in the limelight. This time he was explain­ ing to a judge why he had failed to properly support children of a previous marriage.

Do you consider yourself a law-abiding citi­ zen, sincerely interested in the welfare of others, and always willing to do whatever you can to co­ operate with and assist public officials in the performance of their duty? Then test yourself with this hypothetical situation. Let's say you're driving along in your auto­ mobile, on a routine trip, when you notice sev­ eral cars parked by the roadside a few hundred yards ahead. Also visible are a great number of people milling around. Perhaps an emergency vehicle, such as a police car, a fire truck, or an ambulance, is arriving or is already there. Ob­ viously something out of the ordinary is hap­ pening; possibly something tragic. How do you react the situation? Do you slow down, follow the instructions of the officer di­ recting traffic, pass carefully, and proceed on your. way, thankful that the catastrophe did not happen to you? If you do, you are to be highly commended. People like you are, unfortunate- FIRST WESTERN BANK AND TRUST COMPANY FRESNO 1722 N. First - SANGER -1320 Seventh Street RIVERDALE -3494 Mt. Whitney Ave .

Far too many people are so an­ xious to see what is happening that they create a serious problem for the officers or other per­ sons who are trying to bring the situation under control. Many people excuse their selfish actions by saying they are trying to help. Others are frank­ ly curious, and do not realize they are doing any harm. Far too many, however, are apparent­ ly actually blood-thirsty, and thoroughly enjoy watching 0 the r s suffer. The more tragic or spectacular the incident, the happier they are. The intentions or motives, however, make little difference. No matter which of the cate­ gories the curious on-looker belongs to, the re­ sults of his actions are the same. None of them ever seem at all concerned about getting in the officers' way, blocking traffic, interfering with the passage of emergency vehicles, and generally adding to the gravity of the situation.

Phone 592-4601 Exeter 35 E. Olive Ave., Fresno Phone 266-8866 A good example was the set of circumstances following the crash of an Air National Guard Sabrejet in a residential district in northeast Fresno seven years ago. When the airplane went down several police and sheriff's patrol units were only a few blocks away. However, before they could reach the scene, the streets nearby were almost completely impassable, due to the crowds of people rushing to the scene for a bet­ ter look. Red lights and sirens were useless. The people simply ignored them, realizing the offi­ cers could not take time to write a citation. When, after considerable difficulty, the offi­ cers were successful in reaching the scene, they encountered even more difficulty in controlling the crowd. The airplane had been loaded for combat, with live ammunition and full fuel. tanks. These hazards, coupled with the fire re­ sulting from the crash, created considerable danger. Even though this was explained to the crowd with a loudspeaker, the people paid no attention. Only by calling out all available off­ duty officers was it possible to maintain a rea­ sonable degree of order. Two or three days later men in business suits were observed on their hands and knees in the crater caused by the explosion of the fuel tanks, digging with their hands for souvenirs. A year or two later officers dragging a canal at Cedar and McKinley Avenues for the body of a drowning victim encountered similar in­ terference. There something of a carnival touch was added when a snow cone vendor took ad­ vantage of the opportunity, parked his truck nearby, and quickly sold all his stock. A more recent example of the manner in which curious crowds interfere occurred last Spring. A small boy was drowned in a large canal at Jensen and Chestnut Avenues, and the Sheriff's Department rescue unit worked two or three days in recovering the body. Not only were their efforts hampered considerably by the crowd of curious spectators, but they were con­ stantly annoyed by unsolicited advice, criticism, and jeers. A diver who had just climbed out onto the canal bank to rest was knocked back into the water by the exuberance of the crowd press­ ing around him. So many vehicles were parked by the roadside the California Highway Patrol found it neces­ 10 T he crowd had thinned out considerably by the time this picture was made, bllt ther(' lITe still too many curialiS spectators watcb­ ing the search for a body.

The grocery store owner on the corner did a brisk business in ice cream and soft drinks. When the body was finally located, spectators with cameras were on hand to take close range photographs of it before it could be covered with a blanket. It is difficult to understand why otherwise normal and sensible people are so gratified by being at the scene of a disaster. It is even more difficult to understand their feeling that every­ one else is in the way, but tha t they are not. Some of the worst offenders have been known to say, looking at their fellow spectators, "Why don't these people get out of the way?" There are, of course, laws to handle such situ­ ations.

For the purpose of this section, a disaster includes a fire, explosion, an airplane crash, flooding, windstorms, damage, a railroad accident, or a traffic accident." There are also several other sections designed to cover specific acts or situations; for exam pie, the sections of the vehicle code prohibiting driv­ ing near a fire, crossing a fire hose, etc. The laws are seldom enforced, however, since officers who are working at a disaster scene simply don't have time to make arrests. Therefore the only practi­ cal solution to the problem is to appeal to the common sense of the public, hoping that, if shown how much hinderance is caused by curi­ ous people rushing to disaster scenes, the prac­ tice will become less prevalent. Naturally we do not mean to imply that offi­ cers or other authorized persons working at a disaster do not welcome help. If such help is needed, and there are private citizem available who are sincerely willing to lend a hand, they will be welcomed with open arms. Nor 00 we mean that a motorist should never stop at the • scene of an accident. A citizen should always stop and help all he can if conditions indicate that help is actually needed. Our message is directed, rather, to those cur­ ious persons who contribute nothing whatsoever to the solution of the problem, but are interested only in gratifying their own morbid curiousity. To those misguided persons, we offer, on behalf of all law enforcement officers and others re­ sponsible for public safety, this fervent plea, IF YOU CAN'T HELP, PLEASE STAY OUT OF ~--------------------------~ THE WAY.I 13 ALL IN A DAY'S WORK The following photos were taken at random of various Fresno County peace officers en gaged in their daily routine tasks. ~.i..~ ,~ ~T'~~;f.....~ ~~ ~T'~~;fA~ ~~ ~T~~~ ~A~7~ ~~ 7~ ~~ 7~ Detective Sergeant Merle Person, Constable Alvie Maze, and Detective Art Christensen ex­ amine the point of entry at a burglary scene for clues to the suspect's identity.

Since 1962 was an election year, we could have found it necessary, in writing of changes in the organization of the department, to intro­ duce a new boss. However, Sheriff Melvin Will­ mirth's campaign for re-election to a third term was uneventful and successful; it consisted mere­ ly of filing as a candidate. It was considered a great tribute to him personally, and to his ad­ ministration, that no one considered the chances of wining an election against him good enough to justify the effort. The Review takes this opportunity to con­ gratulate the boss on his easy victory and vote of confidence. \Ve thank him for his help and ME·N·ED'S PIZZA PARLOR Pizza SUPREME Fresno • Son Jose • Redwood City • Sonto Claro Son leandro Our Pizza Is Different -It's Made With 6 Kinds of Finest Quality Cheese No Waiting -Served From Brick Ovens Orders To Take Out BA 7·4312 4735 N.

Although there were no changes at the top, Sheriff \Villmirth and his administrative aides made several important changes in the internal organization of the department. All were made in a continuing effort to improve the efficiency of the Department, and to keep it abreast of the times, thus making it more able to perform its intended mission of protecting life and prop­ erty. The Department is still a long way from perfection, but we feel that each change has (Continllcd on tlJl' Next Page) FRESNO CATTLE FEEDING CO . Roil spur on Feed lot. Bill Santo Fe or S.P. via Santo Fe Phone ADams 3-8428 Fresno, Calif. Chester Cook W . R. (Bill) Jenkins Merced RA 2-4050 CL 5·5897 21 brought us closer to that goal. Most of the major changes were in the Identi­ fication Bureau. The first was the changing of job classification of the Identification Bureau technicians, the men who actually collect and preserve the physical evidence found at a crime scene. These men ha ve previousl y been classified either as regular deputies or as sergeants. How­ ever, since their work is of such a specialized nature, it was decided that the title of crimi­ nologist would be more appropriate. The rank will be at the same pay level and have the same prestige as that of sergeant; however, it will de­ note technical skill and knowledge rather than administrative ability and authority. Definite standards were set up for the new positions, and a competitive examination will be required. Plans are now being made for a training pro­ gram for tllOse already assigned as field techni­ cians, to make sure they have the necessary qualifications. Just before the end of the year a second ma­ jor change was made in the Bureau. The name was officially changed to Records and Identifi­ cation Division. Lt. Kenneth Larson who had previously been in charge of the \Varrants, Men­ tal Health, and Transportation Details, was ap­ pointed Administrative Assistant to the Division Commander, Captain Rodney Riddle. This was done to allow Captain Riddle more time to su­ pervise the more technical aspects of the divi­ sions duties. The Warrants, Mental Health and Trans­ portation Details were transferred out of the Criminal Division and made a part of the Rec­ ords and Identification Division. Also removed from the jurisdiction of the Criminal Division was the Steno Pool, which became a part of the Records Section. This was done to better co­ ordinate the typing and filing of reports and records. The entire Records system is being ~tream­ lined, with a master file system replacing several separate index files. This will facilitate records searches and provide more accurate and faster service to the investigative branches of the De­ par.tment, other agencies, and the public. Ob­ solete files, and duplicate procedures are being discarded, resulting in a substantial saving 111 space, manpower, and taxpayer's money. 22 Golden Eagle Food Mart Groceries -Meat -Vegetables at Low Prices 7 A.

Chief Criminal Deputy Albert Collins is the Division Commander. The various components are the Detective Division, headed by Captain Conrad Spomer; the Patrol Division, com­ manded by Captain Robert Saum, the Juvenile Bureau, lead by Lieutenant Everett Haley; and the Coroner's office under the direction of Cap­ tain Liwrence Hoskins. The Detective Division is divided into two­ man teams. Each team specializes in one partiClI­ lar type of crime; however, each is qualified to handle any other type, should the need arise. The Patrol Division includes, in addition to the patrolmen who cover the beats, the Com­ munications Section and the Court Bailiffs. The Juvenile Detail investigates practically all cases in which a person under the age of eighteen is a suspect, and many in which such a youngster is a victim, if the circumstances are such that his moral welfare or physical well­ being are endangered. The Coroner's office investigates all deaths oc­ curring under circumstances which preclude the signing of a death certificate by a physician. Incidentally, if you compare personnel photos in this year's Review with those in previous edi­ tions, you will find two familiar faces with dif­ ferent names. Wedding bells have been ringing in the Criminal Division. The former Louise Hill of the Communications section is now Mrs. Ralph Posey, and Margaret Myers of the Ju­ venile Bureau has become Mrs. Donald Coleman. (Cuntinued Oil tbe Next Page) L. G.

Sgt. John Papazian became a lieutenant, and a!Sumed more responsibility in helping Captain Fred Koll, the Division Commander to direct the activities of the division. Usually it is somewhat difficult to write about the Civil Division. Although the work it does is important, the duties are quite routine, con­ sisting principally of serving subpeonas, writs, and other orders of the court. One day last Fall, however, for a brief moment that was radically changed. A prisoner who was being led through the main lobby of the building to the jail door broke away from the arresting officer and at­ tempted to escape. He fled out the front door into' the Courthouse Park, with the officer close behind. As the pursued and the pursuer passed Cap­ tain Koll's office which is near the front entrance, they interrupted the Captain's contemplation over some problem concerning a court order. He quickly surveyed the situation, threw down his papers, and joined the chase, which circled the public restroom in front of the building, and continu'ed across the park in the general direc­ tion of Van Ness A venue. Despite the fact Cap­ tain Koll sits at a desk most of the day, and has not participated in a high school track meet for several years, he was in on the capture, which took place when a helpful citizen tripped the fleeing prisoner. The Captain was s car c ely breathing hard when it was over. He seemed to enjoy his brief change of duty, which proves that once a man has been a field officer, he never quite loses his touch. .

Olive AM 8-9281 SECURITY DIVISION CHANGES The Security Division also saw changes 'in or­ ganization and procedure. Perhaps the most im­ portant, from a humanitarian point of view, the change in the booking of female prisoners. Early in the year the women's section of the new jail annex was opened. Fema]e prisoners are now booked by jail matrons exclusively. It had always been the policy of the depart­ ment to have a matron present during the book­ ing process, to search the prisoner and escort her to the women's ward. However, male and female inmates were booked and released at the same desk. While there was nothing illegal or im­ proper about the procedure, it sometimes proved embarrassing for a somewhat sensitive woman to be questioned and searched in the presence of several strange men. Under the new system the \'V"omen's Section keeps its own records, and has its own facilities for the care of the prisoner's property. Food is sent to the ward by a dumb waiter, and all cleaning and household tasks in­ side the ward are done by female trusties. The only men who enter the ward are officers on of­ ficial business.

This project was made quite urgent by the fact the plans for a new courthouse are now being made. It is imperative that those who are making the plans have some idea how much office space will be required by each department of county gov­ ernment twenty-five or thirty years from now. It is difficult to predict with any appreciable degree of accuracy what future changes will be made in the organzation of the Sheriff's Depart­ ment. There are exciting possibilities, such as electronic processing of records and warrants; the use of new developments of science in the field of criminal identification, and new equip­ ment which will no doubt facilitate the appre­ hension and detention of criminals. For the present, however, one of the most pressing problems is working space. Practically every unit of the building is crowded far be­ yond its intended capacity. We trust this prob­ lem will soon be solved, when the new Court­ house becomes a reality. I TRIMMER POWER LAWN MOWERS M. R. VIERRA COMPANY San Joaquin Valley Distributor J. E. BEATON, Asst.

Two of the people we lost through retirement in 1962 were women, and perhaps retired women aren't as likely to spend their leisure time fishing as are retired men. But, since the title is merely symbolic, we won't change it. The first to retire last year was Elmer Leroy McCauley, who left the department on Feb­ ruary 28th. He was a bailiff in Department Two of the Superior Court, and had been a member of the Sheriff's Department for ten years. Previously he had been a member of the Fresno Police Department for many years. He was a bailiff in the Police Court when that court and the local justice courts were reorganized into a Municipal Court in January of 1952. He switched from city to county employment as a result of the change. "Mac" is a native of Guernsey County, Ohio. He and his wife, Gertrude, reside at 1265 N. Calaveras A venue in Fresno. Since his retire­ ment he has specialized in no particular hobby or recreation, but has spent a great deal of time working in his yard. He is presently getting an opportunity to meet old friends and acquaint­ ances by working on a part time basis as a va­ cation relief cook in the county jail.

Broadway Fresno AD 3-8818 Mrs. Ruth Collins retired on April 30th of last year, after a long and colorful career in law enforcement. She had been a matron in the women's jail since October of 1941. For many years before that she had been closely concerned with law enforcement. Her late husband, Harry Collins, was a member of the Sheriff's Depart­ ment for fourteen years prior to his death in 1937. His passing was the result of injuries re­ ceived in line of duty in 1934. For several years Mrs. Collins was the only matron. She had an apartment in the jail build­ ing, and was on duty twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Her only time off was her annual vacation. It was not until the close of World War II that other matrons were hired and she could work normal hours. At that time she was appointed Head Matron. A lot of women went through the jail while Mrs. Collins was there. Almost without excep­ tion, they regarded her with respect and affec­ tion for her firm but fair treatment. It was not on uncommon sight for a belligerent, drunken woman who had been screaming curses and in­ sults at the arresting officer to burst into sobs of shame and remorse when Mrs. Collins ap­ peared at the booking desk. Mrs. Collins was born in Woodville, Califor-_ nia in December, 1892. Her family, the Steadt­ millers, was one of the pioneer families of Tu­ lare County. She attended school in Lindsay and Porterville, and later was a student at the Fresno Normal School, now the Fresno State College. Although Mrs. Collins has retired from active duty, she has not lost her interest in the prob­ lems of unfortunate women. She has been active in the establishment of the Alpha House. a home (Continued 0 11 tbe Next Page) SHAM EXCAVATION CO. I EXCAVATIONS -DEMOLITIONS -RENTALS 3515 S.

She keeps in touch with her friends at the Sher­ iff's Department through her son, Chief Crim­ inal Deputy Albert Collins. Mrs. Goldie A. Willis was the other female member who left us last year. She too had been a matron in the jail for several years. She joined the Departmen t in February of 1947. and re­ tired last April 15th. For most of her career she was in charge of the women's jail on the 4: 00 p.m. to midnight shift. She is best remembered by officers who worked with her and inmates she supervised for her cheerful attitude and sun­ ny disposition, which was always present no matter how trying the situation might have been. Mrs. Willis was born in Fresno on December 30, 1893, and attended local schools. During \'Qorld War II she was employed by the federal government at Hammer Field. She lives at 2980 E.

They rose from their 1961 cellar position to the championship of the Sierra League. We're all as proud as if they were our own kids. Coach Duane Baleme said, "We were lucky and fortunate to win the championship last year." Coach Baleme is exhibiting becoming modesty. The ~redit for the success of the team should be equally divided between the coach for his patience and fine handling of the team, and the youngsters themselves for their fine play and team spirit. All the boys played so hard that it is difficult to pick individual stars. In the coming season, however, we will miss such fine players as Curt BIinsmon, who led the team in hitting, Phil Goodrich, the top pitcher, Ricky Cores and Den­ nis Adair. These players have "retired", since they are too old for Little League play. We also lost Jerry Moobler, an outstanding player who moved to Oregon. We look forward to a successful campaign this season, since we will still have the following vet­ eran players: Gary Luzon, a fiery catcher, Gary "'Polly and Roger Glaspey, who are both good hitting pitchers, first baseman Danny Viamello, and our two mighty mites, Warren Jennings and Howie Deinart. Two other real comers of whom great things are expected are Gary Haron and Pat Ellis. There has been a great deal of criticism of Li ttle Leagues in recen t years. The claim has been made, no doubt justifiably in many instances, that the game has been taken away from the kids, and too much emphasis has been placed on win­ ning. Coach Baleme doesn't run his team in that manner. He teaches the boys that while it is im­ portant to try to win, there is no disgrace in los­ ing if an honest effort is made, and that sports­ manship and fair play are much more important than batting averages and box scores. We in the Sheriff's Department who have con­ ~ tributed to the team's support want the fe]lows to know that we're rooting for them in the com­ ing season, and we'll still be with them no matter where their name appears when the final stand­ ings are posted.

FRESNO AT ASHlAN The foregoing is a direct quotation from page 49 of the report of a survey conducted by the Office of Administrative Management, Fresno County, in 1961, covering the operation of various components of the Sheriff's Department. Apparently the writer was somewhat surprised to hear that most officers considered training as more important than salary increases, morc manpower, and new equipment. Actually this philosophy may not be entirely unselfish, The officer knows that with proper training he can partially overcome such obstacles as manpower shortages and inadequate equipment. On the other hand, if he doesn't know his job, all the fancy equipment on the market won't be of much help, and neither will more men, if they don't know their jobs either.

Washington knows that if he is well trained', he can do the job well enough that the taxpayer will be so pleased with the results he will be more likely to support a budget providing for more money, men, and material. But no matter what the mo­ tive, it is a gratifying thought that the peace officer is so concerned about learning to do a better job. The desire is evolving into reality through the efforts of Sheriff Willmirth and Philjp Sanchez, who made the aforementioned survey and was the author of the report from which our intro­ duction was quoted. Mr. Sanchez has since been appointed Chief Administrative Officer for Fresno County. Early in 1962 the Board of Supervisors au­ thorized an additional position of Lieutenant on the Sheriff's staff, to be assigned as Training Officer. This writer was transferred from the Patrol to the newly created assignment and told to "get at it." "Getting at it" was not an easy chore. The department had never had anyone assigned ex­ clusively to training; consequently there was no precedent to follow regarding training philoso­ phy and procedures. In attempting to crawl before learning to walk, members of the department were utilized to teach various subjects, ranging from M. O. Report Writing, taught by M. O. Technician Yoshio Kai, to Fresno Co u n t y Governmfnt, taught by Undersheriff James Long. The Chief of Medical Services at the Fresno General Hos­ pital, Dr. Abraham Cohen was called upon to teach lifesaving first aid, including the proce­ dure to follow when assisting in an emergency (Continued Oil tbe Next Page) Builders Co'ncrete.

Unfortunately, lack of suitable facilities and the chronic shortage of personnel forced cancel­ lation of formal classroom training. As a sub­ stitute, Roll Call Training Bulletins were intro­ duced. These are an effective means of reaching all personnel and dispensing useful information, with a minimum of time expended. Each bul­ letin is accompanied by a questionnaire cover­ ing the material presented by the previous bul­ letin. The questions must be answered and re­ turned to the Training Officer. This has created considerable interest in laws and procedures cov­ ering the various aspects of law enforcement. Officers who hadn't done much actual studying since leaving school several years ago found that while they might have become somewhat rusty, they hadn't forgotten how to hit the books. In January of this year the Board of Super­ visors adopted an ordinance permitting the de­ partment to come wit h in the minimum standards set by the State Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training. This means that all officers hired in the future will be re­ quired to attend 160 hours of formal recruit training. The county will be reimbursed for a portion of their salaries during the training period, from a state fund created from money obtained from the penalty assessment on bails and fines. An arrangement has been made with the City of Fresno for the use of their police academy near the Fresno Air Terminal, until such time as the County can provide suitable facilities of its own. Police work is a continous learning process. The day of the ham-fisted cop with the pea sized brain is a part of the past. To meet the challenge, the Sheriff's Department of Fresno County has taken a giant step forward, and will continue to advance in the field of training, to assure the people of the County the finest in law en f orcement. 64 We Need It Elbo~ In another article in this issue we mention the crowded condition of the Sheriff's Department building. There has been a great deal of local newspaper publicity and public speculation re­ garding a proposed new administration building for the Department.

Lack of room for expansion has forced the conversion to open shelf files, such as those in the back­ ground. These consume less floor space than the closed drawer type, and are slightly less expen­ sive to buy. However, these advantages are far outweighed by the fact they are difficult to search, and not even the tallest file clerk can reach the top shelf without a ladder. If these photos do not prove our need for more office space, let us consider these additional factors. Four units of the Department are housed in other buildings. The Mental Health and Transportation Details have offices at the County Hospital. The Juvenile Detail and the Coroner's office are in rented offices in a com­ mercial building across the street from the Courthouse Park.

It is in a constant state of change; each year new laws are passed by the legislative branches of our gov­ ernment. Old ones are made new or different through fresh interpretations.

This authority was a useful tool for the peace officer, and was a benefit to society as a whole, as long as it was applied in the spirit intended by the legislators who enacted the law. It was intended that such power of arrest be used only to control or retard the deveIopment of an undesirable or potential­ ly criminal situation.

MOROA PINEDALE Y2 Mile West of Blackstone Corner of Moroa and Herndon CALCOT, LTD. PINEDALE, CALIFORNIA 71 For instance, if an officer saw a person who was known to be a pickpocket loitering on a busy street, he could have made an arrest on the theory the subject was likely to pick someone's pocket. If he saw a known prostitute hanging around a tavern, he could arrest her because it was reasonably certain she was looking for cus­ tomers. Obviously it was not intended that an arrest be made each time a person of unsavory reputa­ tion was seen, but only when it was reasonably necessary in order to protect life, property, or the moral standards of the community. Most of­ ficers applied the law in that manner. Regret­ tably, however, the right to make an arrest for vagrancy was occasionally abused. There were instances where an officer saw an habitual drunkard on the street in a sober condition, and said to himself, "I might as well arrest him now. He'll be drunk in a little while anyway." An incident of that nature was one of the most important factors contributing to the en­ actment of the new law. One Emery Newbern petitioned the California Supreme Court for a writ of iube;ls corpus, after having been arrested ill r.ong Beach, and cOIl\'ic'ted of violation of \ubsectioll 11 of Pellal Code section 647. This subsection gives one definition of a vagrant as a "common drunkard." The defendant had also been convicted of violation of the Long Beach Municipal Code section ' which prohibits drunk­ enness in public. He did not contest this COI1\·ic­ tion. He objected only to being convicted and puni~hed for being a "common drunkard," claiming no one knew exactly what the term meant. The prosecutiQn, in its argument that the conviction should be upheld, presented over­ whelming evidence to prove that the subject did, in fact, become intoxicated quite often. Included were pleas of guilty to numerous pre­ vious charges of drunkenness. Newbern did not claim to be a temperate man. He argued that the lack of a precise mean­ ing of the term "common drunkard" made the whole 's u b sec t ion vague and uncertain. He pointed out that a well established element of the constit~tional guarantee of due process of law is that a reasonable degree of certainty must (Cot/tit/llcd 011 tbe Next Page) L. H.

That is, an individual is entitled to know exactly what the state forbids or commands. Therefore, where a statute if so vague that men of ordinary intelligence must guess at its mean­ ing, it is in violation of due process of law. With these requirements in mind the Court considered whether or not the definition of the term "common drunkard" was sufficiently def­ inite. It was noted that although the word "com­ mon" is in wide usage by the general public, \~'ebster's New Intc1'11ational Dictionary lists fourteen different definitions. Black's Law Dic­ tionary is a little more specific, describing a "common drunkard" as one who is "habitually" or "publicly" drunk. The Court gained no satis­ faction from this definition, however, since it is as ambiguous as the term it purports to de­ fine. For instance, who is to say how often a person mllst get drunk in order to be a "habitu­ al drunk?" The Court further noted that the past cases varied widely in their definitions of "common drunkard," and that many of these definitions were themselves ambiguous. Since it cannot be considered a medical term, thcre is no technical definition available. After an unsuccessful at­ tempt to find something in common law (un­ written law or custom) that might help clarify the meaning of the term, the Court unanimously voted to issue the writ, and the conviction of be­ ing a common drunkard was purged from the defendant~ record. The official opinion of the Court is summar­ ized in this manner. "Finally we might point out that the constitution of the State of Cali­ fornia commands that all general laws be of uni­ form operation. The provision will not tolerate a criminal law so lacking in definition that each defendant is left to the vagaries of individual judges and juries, Yet, as we have pointed out, such is the inevitable result of attempting to en­ force a law punishing a "common drunkard," whereunder a person drunk, for example, once a week for four months could be found guilty of a violation of subsection 11 of Penal Code, section 647, in one jurisdiction but not in an­ other. For the foregoing reasons we conclude that (Continucd on tbe Ncxt Page) 73 the challenged subdivision of Penal Code, sec­ tion 647, is unconstitutionally vague, uncertain, a~d incapable of being uniformly enforced." At about the same time, other persons in other parts of the State were attacking and criticizing other subsections of P. C. 647. In one instance a woman charged with violation of subsection 10 was released because that particular subsection makes it illegal to be a "common prostitute," but does not require proof of any specific act of prostitution. As a result of these and other similar cases, the legislature enacted a new law, which went into effect in September of 1961. It completely replaced the old law, and it does not even contain the words "vagrant" or "va­ grancy." Instead, it mentions several specific acts, the commission of either being defined as disorderly conduct. Among peace officers throughout the State opinion is still divided as to relative merits of the old and new laws. Some feel the change de­ prived the law enforcement profession of one of its most useful weapons in the battle to control crime; others hailed it as a big step forward in the field of civil rights. All will have to agree, however, that under the new law it is much easier to decide whether or not an arrest is legally justified. In 1962 an even more controversial blow was struck at a long established California law by the Supreme Court of the United States. The Court decided, in effect, that section 11721 of the He;1lth and Safety Code, which makes it a crime to be' addicted to the use of narcotics, IS unconstitutionaI. Section 11721 is as follows: "No person shall use, or be under the influ­ ence of, or be addicted to the use of narcotics, excepting when administered by or under the direction of a person licensed by the State to prescribe and administer narcotics. It shall be the burden of the defense to show that it comes within the exception. Any person convicted of violating any provision of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be sentenced to serve a term of not less than ninety days nor more than one year in the county jail. The court may place a person convicted hereunder on proba­ tion for a period not to exceed five years and (Continued on tbe Next Page) JOE ALESSANDRI Terrazzo Floors, Steps and Bases 1855 W .

OLIVE Fresno, Calif. shall in all cases in which probation is granted require as a condition thereof that such person be confined in the county jail for at least ninety days. In no event does the court have the power to absolve a person who violates this section from the obligation of spending at least ninety days in confinement in the county jail." As is usual in such instances, there was con­ siderable newspaper publicity regarding the de­ cision of the Court, much of it quite misleading. Some editorial pages called the decision wise and long overdue. Others claimed the narcotics user and peddler had, in effect, been given a license to operate by the Supreme Court. Although we will venture the statement that the truth probably lies somewhere between these two extreme points of view, we will abide by our firm policy against taking sides on any de­ cision made by the courts or the legislature. Since we who own and publish The Review are all peace officers, we feel it is our duty to accept and enforce the law as it is written and inter­ preted by the legislature and the courts, regard­ less of what our personal opinions may be. Therefore we try to present both sides of con­ troversial issues we may discuss, and let the read­ er decide for himself which he will support. The events leading up to the aforementioned decision began when one Lawrence Robinson was arrested in Los Angeles County, and charged with being a narcotics addict as defined in sec­ tion 11721 of the Health and Safety Code. He was found guilty in a jury trial in the Los An­ geles Municipal Court, and was sentenced to ninety days in jail, the minimum sentence al­ lowed by the statute. In an appeal to the Superior Court the con­ viction was upheld. The defendant then ap­ pealed to the United States Supreme Court, after trying unsuccessfully to obtain a hearing on a writ of habeas corpus in the California Appel­ late Court and the California Supreme Court. The highest court in the land reversed the con­ viction. We don't know how many of our readers have ever read the complete text of :1 Supreme Court opinion. One might assume, since the Court is such an aug u stand dignified body, that its opinions would be written in language too deep (Colltinued on tbe Next Page) FEDERAL FRUIT DISTRIBUTORS Growers -Packers -Distributors c. E. HARDING, Jr., Pres. 3120 E. TULARE ST. 7S and complex for the average larman to fully comprehend. This may be true in some insc:1nces, but quite often we find one written in simple, easy to understand phrases, which expl:1in with a high degree of daritr the reasons for the de­ cision. Such W:1S the opinion in case number 5' 5' 4, Robinson \'s. California. The offici:11 opinion of the n1:1jority of the Court is written b)' one of the nine justices, and, in cases of unanimous decision, it may be the only one appe:1ring in the record. Quite often, however, a justice who has voted with the mJ­ jority, and thus has his thoughts combined with the thoughts of the others, will W:1nt to nuke sure his personal point of view is recorded. Per­ haps he feels a little more strongl)! on che issue chan the others, or he may view the matter in ~1 slightly different light. He will write a I:oncur­ ring opinion, which goes into the record 'follow­ ing the majority opinion. In cases where the de­ cision is not unanimous, there may also be one or more dissenting opinions, in which the jus­ tices who were in the minority express their views. The majority opinion in the Robinson case was written by Justice Potter Stew,lrt. He began with a summation of the relevant events, from the time of the arrest to the granting of a hear­ ing by the Supreme Court. In referring to the questionable statute under which the defendant had been convicted, he mentioned th:1t the trial judge, in instructing dle jury, had stated th:1t the phLlse "addicted to the use of" W:1S based upon a condition or status, and not upon a specific act; tlut it was a con­ tinuing offense which was chronic r:1ther than acute; tbt it continued after it was complete, and would subject the offender to arrest at any time before he reformed. Justice Stewart then stated that the broad power of a St:1te to regulate narcotic drugs traf­ fic was nocthe issue. He mentioned that a State might make it a crime to manufacture, pre­ scribe, sell, buy, or possess drugs without au­ thorization, and that addicts could be requir~d to submit to involuntary confinement for the purpose of treatment. He even agreed that an addict could be punished as a crimin:d for fail­ ure to comply with established compulsory (COlltillllCd Oil tb(' Nl'xt Page) 76 LA VICTORIA TORTILLAS CORN AND FLOUR TORTILLAS ENCH ILADAS AND TAMALES Wholesale -Retail 746 F STREET PHONE AD 7-9841 FASHION FURNITURE CO.

The point was also made that the law in ques­ tion might be considered valid were it construed to meali that a defendant must, in order to have been in violation, have actually lIsed narcotics within the State. According to the Court, how­ ever, California courts had never required proof of such acts. In Robinson's case there was evi­ dence that he had used 'narcotics while in Los Angeles County. However, the jury was specifi­ cally instructed that they need not believe he had done so. All they had to do in order to con­ vict him was to believe that he was addicted to the usc of narcotics at the time he was arrested. The Court felt that the law, as it had been interpreted by C:t1ifornia courts, was not in­ tended to punish a person for the usc, purchase, Of sale of narcotics, nor for any antisocial or di sorderly conduct resulting from their usc. Nei­ ther did it purport to provide treatment, but simply made the "status" of narcotic addiction a criminal offense, of which a person could prc­ sunubly be continually guilty. It was likened to a hypothetical law which would make it a crime to be ment:llly ill, to be a leper, or to h:lYC a venereal d,isease. Justice Stewart concluded with a reminder that while the Court is cognizant of the evils of the narcotics traffic, it feels there are in existence numerous legitimate ways to fight these evils without the lise of a statute which was held to be in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. A concurring opinion was written by Justice William O. Douglas, who beg a n with these words, "\'V' hile I join in the Court's opinion, J • wish to make more explicit the reasons why 1 think it is 'cruel and unusual punishment' in rhe sense of the Eighth Amendment to treat as a criminal a person who is a drug :lddict." He then went further into the comparison of drug addiction to mental illness, and traced society's evolution in thinking regarding the tre:ltment of mental illness. He mentioned that in England about five hundred years ago one prescription for insanity was to beat the subject (Crlll/jll/ll'd (111 //l(" Nn./ I'agp ) 77 "until he had regained his reason." In carl y America the violently insane were subjected to the whipping post, put into dungeons, burned at the stake, or hanged. Others w.er allowed to ream the countryside like animals, and were considered fair game for any sort of indignity or cruelty anyone wished to inflict upon them. In those days the consensus of opinion seemed to be that the insane shou1d be punished for criminal acts in order to discourage others from becoming insane. Also mentioned were such ancient and out­ moded treatments for mental illness as dousing, ducking, near drowning, spinning in :l chair, centrifugal swinging, and an early form of elec­ tric shock. The Justice placed them in the same category a spurging, bleeding, induced vomit­ ing, and blistering, all popular at one time as treatment for various physical disorders. He seemed to feel that all the above treatments for mental illness made just as much sense as a law which would punish as a criminal a person who had the illness of narcotics addiction. The Justice cited several authorities to prove that not only is narcotics addiction an illness, but it is an illness which can be contracted innocent­ ly or unwittingly. In his words, "The first step toward addiction may be as innocent as a boy's puff on a cigarette in an alleyway. It may come from a medical prescription. Addiction may even be presented at birth." He then quoted an article which had appeared in a New York news­ paper a few months earlier, describing the addic­ tion of babies born to addict mothers. In reference to Section 5350 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, Justice Douglas men­ tioned the fact that it provides for confinement for at least ninety days, pursuant to a civil pro­ ceeding. He made the point that this is the same as the jail sentence under the criminal statute, and would therefore have had the same effect, plus the provision for treatment, and without the stigma of a criminal conviction. Justice Douglas's opinion ends in this manner, "This prosecution has no relationship to the curing of an illness. Indeed, it cannot, for the prosecution is aimed at penalizing an illness, rather than with providing medical care for it.

This age of enlightenment cannot tolerate such barbarous action." Justice John M. Harlan had a few thoughts of his own on the issue, and he also wrote a con­ curring opinion. He did not fully agree with his colleagues that narcotics addiction is neces­ sarily an illness, and must always be treated as such. He stated that he did not consider it com­ pletely irrational and unconstitutional for a State to conclude that such addiction is some­ thing other than illness, nor that it is cruel and usual punishment to try and sentence addicts under criminal law. His vote for a reversal was apparently based solely upon the fact the trial judge had instructed the jury that the defendant could be found guilty on mere proof that he was present in California while he was addicted to narcotics. He felt that since addiction amounts only to a compelling desire to use nar­ cotics, the jury was being instructed to author­ ize criminal punishment for a bare desire to commit a criminal act. In other words, a person could be punished for being tempted, even if he didn't yield to temptation. The decision contained two dissenting opini­ ons, the first by Justice Tom C. Clark. He began by stating flatly that he did not agree with the majority in finding Section 11721 of the Cali­ fornia Health and Safety Code unconstitutional. He maintained that the statute had not been ex­ amined in the proper perspective. He compli­ mented the State of California on its "compre­ hensive and enlightened program for the control of narcoticism based on the overriding policy of prevention and cure. He went on to tell of an extensive investigation of California's narcotics laws, made a few years ago by a committee ap-~ pointed by the Attorney General. He felt that t his committee had apparently seen nothing wrong with the section in question, since they had made no recommendation that it be changed. The justice also raised a point regarding the precise meaning of the word "addicted". He mentioned that the trial judge had instructed the jury that the word, as used in section 11721, meant to use habitually, rather than, as the (Contin//rtf 1i/1 tbe Next Pllge) BA 7-0354 4435 NORTH FRUIT 79 majority opinIOns claimed, merely having the desire to use. Justice Clark then pointed out that section 5350 of the Welfare and Institu tions Code, rec­ ommended by the majority as ideal for use In Robinson's case, actually is to be used only in cases where the subject has become addicted to the point of losing self-control. Since there was no evidence that Robinson's condition was that extreme, the Justice argued that the State of California could not have logically confined him under the civil statute. In support of the argument that Robinson had not been unjustly tried under the criminal statute, Justice Clark pointed out that the de­ fendant's behavior and attitude had been much more indicative of criminal intent than of ill­ ness. He had fairly fresh needle marks on his arms when arrested, and admitted to investigat­ ing officers that he had recently used narcotics. At the trial, however, he testified that he had never used narcotics. He claimed the needle marks and scars were caused by inoculations ad­ ministered by doctors while he was in the mili­ tary service. Justice Clark apparently felt that had the defendant been ill he would have ad­ mitted his condition and asked for help. The justice ended his dissent with the argu­ ment that a jail sentence for narcotics addiction could reasonably be considered a form of treat­ ment, since it would remove the subject from temptation long enough for him to "kick the li'abit" if he really wished to do so. Therefore, he claimed, it could not be considered as crud and unusual punishment. Even considered as punishment, he argued further, the ninety day sentence in this case could not be considered un­ reasonable, when the civil proceedings recom­ mended by the majority provides for up to twelve months confinement. The second dissenting opinion was by Justice Byron R. White. His dissent was based generally upon the same grounds as that of Justice Clark. However, he went further, and accused the Su­ preme Court of undue interference in an affair which he believed should have been left to the courts of the State involved. He claimed the de­ cision had removed California's power to deal with the narcotics problem where there is ample evidence of use, but no indication of the precise 80 location in which the drugs are used. He also argued that serious doubt had been cast upon the power of any State to make the use of narcotics a crime, and predicted the States' powers would have to be reaffirmed in some future case be­ fore the matter co u I d be considered finally settled. Justice White ended his opinion with these words: "I fail to see why the Court deems it more appropriate to write into the Constitu­ tion its own abstract notions of how best to handle the narcotics problem, for it obviously cannot match either the States or Congress in expert understanding." 1The decision of the Su preme Court has na­ Sturally brought about a considerable change in the manner in which narcotics violators are Fprosecuted in California. Briefly, the procedure 13is as follows. If there is sufficient evidence of possession, sale, purchase, or an actual act of use of narcotics, the defendant is tried in a criminal court in the same manner as before. However, if the only evidence against him is that he is an addict, he is confined for treatment under section 5350 of the Welfare and Institu­ tions Code, pursuant to a civil proceeding. It is too early to tell what effect this will have upon the activities of those involved in the nar­ cotics traffic; whether it will result in more persons, or fewer, becoming addicted to drugs. No matter what happens, though, it will matter little to Lawrence Robinson. Several months be­ fore the Supreme Court rendered its decision, he was found dead in an alley. The cause of death?

With a Roaring 20's theme, complete with a flower draped casket reminiscent of a gang­ ster's funeral, the event was a tremendous suc,:, cess. On the more serious side, the ladies had the opportunity on at least two occasions to help out those who were very much in need. This was through an emergency relief fund, estab­ lished by the club, and made available to the department for use in providing help for peo­ ple whose need is so immediate there is no time to go through regular welfare channels. In November a rancher in the Kearney Park area notified Sheriff Willmirth of a family who had no place to live. The Sheriff personally in­ vestigated, and found a man, his wife, and six children from two to fourteen years old, with­ out food or money. Their only glimmer of hope was the promise of a job for the husband. A cheap but adequate rental was located, and a supply of food, enough to last until the hus­ band received a pay check, was purchased with money from the ladies' fund. The grateful fam­ ily was then instructed to call if they needed further help. However, there was no further request, so apparently the little boost was just what they needed to get back on the road to self sufficiency. In January of this year a patrolman working the midnight to eight shift found a family travelling through Fresno stranded without funds. Since they had not eaten for some time, he was authorized to use money from the fund to buy breakfast for them, to tide them over until they could contact a regular welfare agency later in the day. While these matters may seem trivial com­ pared to the vast sums spent on public,,l1Ielfare, it is the spirit that counts, and the ladies give from the heart. The club is never contacted be­ fore the money is expended; the decision is left to the officer in charge of the shift. No restric­ tions are placed on the use of the fund except that there must be a need. The Auxiliary finances its charitable activi­ ties principally through membership dues, aug­ mented by the proceeds from an occasional rum­ mage sale. 85 Jandla (Mrs. Richard) McClurg .w/JPlii's IIs('flll informaliun 10 visilors at fIx Fresno Dist riel Fair buuth, and also C()fIsiderably ('nhancl'S its beauty.

The department heads may have met occasionally, but generally the officers who did the actual work were con­ cerned only with the problems of their own de­ partments, and depended strictly upon official communications and public news sources for information about the activities of their neigh­ bors. Investigators from different agencies get­ ting together and discussing cases and mutual problems on a man-to-man basis was something that happened only by accident.

A criminal can strike in several counties in a matter of hours. By pooling information and bits of evidence collected at several crime scenes, investigators can often learn enough about a criminal to identify him and effect his arrest. However, the collection of such information via official channels is often a slow and cumber­ some process. In an attempt to facilitate the exchange of pertinent information, representatives fro m several law enforcement agencies met about ten years ago and formed the Central San Joaquin Valley Investigators Association: Two' of the best known and greatly respected in vestiga tors in the State were pioneers in the movement, the (Conli/1I11'11 on 1/)(' Nl'xt Page) The AI,!

All law enforcement agencies in the eight valley coun­ ties, Kern, Kings, Tulare, Fresno, Madera, Mer­ ced, Stanislaus and San Joaquin, were invited to participate. The organization has been grow­ ing steadily since birth, and today its members include officers from practically every law en­ forcement agency in the valley. Also active ar~ several state and federal agents, and special agents from various private companies whose problems are similar to those faced by law en­ forcement agencies. The group holds a dinner meeting once each month from September through' May, usually on the second Thursday. Most members attend at their own expense, and consider it a worth­ while investment, the returns consisting of more information with which to perform their daily duties. Needless to say, the only purpose of the meet­ ings is the exchange of information about crimes and criminals. Such matters as administrative policy, grievances and politics are carefully avoided. Each officer present is given an oppor­ tunity to discuss any case he may be working on or interested in. It is surprising how often the information supplied in such discussions will prove to be the missing link in some other of­ ficer,s investigation. Information collected at these meetings two years ago led to the capture of the Timpson-Allen gang, one of the most efficient and elusive burglary gangs ever to op­ erate in California.

There he heard officers from Tulare County tell of having in custody a burglary suspect with a very distinc­ tive M.O. Instead of breaking a window to enter a building, he would carefully chip the putty from a window frame, then remove the glass in one piece. The officer had recently investi­ gated a burglary committed in that manner, but had very little hope of solving it since he had found little physical evidence. \Vith information obtained at the meeting, however, he went to Visalia the next day, questioned the suspect, ob­ tained an admission to his crime, and closed his case. This year's slate of Association officers in­ cludes Richard Twitty of the Merced Police De­ partment, president; William Weaver, Fresno County Sheriff's Department, Vice-president and Velda Alexander of the Tulare County Sheriff's Department, who has been secretary since 1955. The Fresno County Sheriff's Depart­ ment has had the honor of filling the president's chair twice, Lt. Ripperdan In 1955 and Dan Conway in 1961. The Association has been so successful that several similar groups have been organized in other sections of the State. In some of the more heavily populated areas the groups are composed of investigators specializing in certain types of crimes, such as the Southern California Robbery' Investigators Association, the Northern Califor­ nia Burglary Investigators Association, and so on. The formation of such associations follows a nationwide trend and is a product of the modern philosophy of crime detection. The ace detective who solves the most baffling cases entirely by his own effort and skill is a thing of the past, if, in­ deed, he ever existed at all except in fiction. The investigator of today does not hesitate to either render or request assistance. FRESNO BAKING CO.

About the time an officer decides he has heard them all, someone comes up with a new one. Not long ago two teenage boys were caught after they had broken into an old-fashioned but once elaborate house in north Fresno. In spite of apparently incriminating circumstances, it was difficult to prove they had actually intend­ ed to steal anything. Grasping at this straw, the mother of one of the culprits explained her son's action in this manner. "My son plans to be an architect, and that particular house has always fascinated him. If he broke into it, I'm sure he did so just to study the architectural design." The investigating officers were kind enough to refrain from asking the mother what her son thought of the architectural design of Juvenile Hall. PARKSIDE INN MOTEL Ken and Cina Ra"d 1415 W.

Hayden was born in Florence, Texas, on October 2, 1897, When he was two years old his mother passed away. Three years later, in 1902, his father was killed by a team of runaway horses while saving the lives of two ladies. Young Dave was reared by his grandparents and great grandparents. When we hear the term, "U.S. Marshal", we usually think of a man wearing a big hat and riding a horse. Dave is probably one of the few marshals still in service who would feel right at home thus attired and mounted. He spent a major portion of his youth as a working cowboy.

Upon completion of training as a hospital corpsman, he was assigned to the 2nd Battalion of the 6th Regiment, U.S. Marines. Early in 1918 the unit went to France. In June of that year, while in combat at Belleau Woods, he was wounded. After recuperating from his wounds he rejoined his outfit at St. Mihiel. On September 15th, 1918, while Dave's unit was fighting in a fierce battle at Thiaucourt, France, a Marine was critically wounded by a sniper, and he fell in an open field which was under heavy enemy machine gun fire. Ignoring the danger, Dave brought the wounded man to safety, and for his deed of valor received the Congressional Medal of Honor. The full extent of his bravery on this occasion can best be de­ scribed by quoting verbatim from the citation which accompanied the award.

He was hospitalized in France for a while, then returned to the United States for additional treatment. In July, 1920, he left the Navy, and studied at the University of Cali­ fornia, Southern Branch, under a federal re­ habilitation program. He took a course in sales­ manship, and after leaving school held several jobs in the sales field. He worked in that capa­ city for a number of years for a major oil company. On January 15, 1934, he received an appoint­ ment as a Deputy United States Marshal. He found his new duties to be many and varied. At various times he handled such well known crimi­ nals as Bugsy Siegel, Dutch Kretzer, Clay Tol­ lett, Sam Scribner, and the infamous traitor, "Meatball" Kawakita. .(Colltmllcd 011 Ibc Next Page) 93 Once while he was transporting a prisoner by train, the prisoner attacked him and slugged him on the head, causing a severe gash aftd a mild concussion. After a violent struggle, the prisoner was subdued, and Dave continued on to his des­ tination and booked the prisoner before he sought medical aid for his injuries. Dave's superior is Marshal George E. O'Brien, whose headquarters are at the District Office in Los Angeles. Dave worked directly out of the Los Angeles office prior to 1950, when he be­ came the Resident Deputy United States Marshal in Fresno. His territory includes Merced, Mari­ posa, Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare, Kern, and Inyo Counties. He is responsible for the trans­ portation of prisoners to various institutions, and for their care and custody while in Federal Court. He is also responsible for the service of warrants of arrest for persons charged with crimes against the Federal Government, and for the service of all writs and other orders issued by the Federal Court. He works in close cooperation with other agencies of the Federal Government, as well as with local law enforcement agencies, in the pre­ vention and investigation of crimes, and the ap­ prehension of criminals. A year or so ago, while working on an espio­ nage case with Col. Chein of the United States Air Force, the colonel learned that Dave had never been officially presented with the Con­ gressional Medal of Honor. Instead, it had been sen t to him by registered mail in November of 1920. Col. Chein and many of Dave's friends brought the oversight to the attention of the Navy Department, and arrangements were made for an official presentation ceremony. The ceremony was held on Armed Forces Day, May 18, 1962, at the Elk's Club in Fresno. Rear Admiral Frank Akers, Commander of Fleet Air, Alameda Naval Air Station, made the official presentation. This was a fitting tribute to a fine and courageous man. Those of us who have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Dave Hayden, point with pride and say, "There stands a man; GOOD AMERICAN, GOOD PEACE OFFICER AND GOOD FRIEND."

Activities of local law enforcement agen­ cies were well covered, and apparently the com­ plexion of the problems they faced hasn't changed much in thirty-seven years.

The gist of the article was that In too many instances detectives were assigned to routine po­ lice tasks, which should have been handled by patrolmen. It was his conten tion that detectives should spend their time investigating crimes such as homicides, robberies, and burglaries, and checking on the activities of known underworld characters. Instead, he claimed, they were uti­ lized chiefly for serving search warrants and checking on suspected illegal liquor and vice operations, and when not so assigned, stayed at headquarters waiting to be sent out on routine calls, such as family disturbances, drunks, etc. (C()///ill lll'll 011 /lw NI'.\/ I'(l.~ /,) ~ COFFEE SHOP ~ 'Il!::'~1 COCKTAILS & DINING ....,~~ IN THE "PRIME RIB­ BANQUET ROOMS FOR 6 BOWL LARGE & SMAll GROUPS 313 t Il (EDAI AVE.

He stated tkt the typical burglary investigation consisted of mak­ ing a superficial examination of the premises and point of entry, and listing the property stolen. He claimed that in instances where a burglar was apprehended and the loot recovered, it was usually due to the efforts of the victim, rather than to efficient police work. The writer emphasized that he was in no way criticizing the ability of the members of the Department. His only criticism was of the ad­ ministration, and the way the men were assigned. Another front page story told of the ques­ tioning of a murder suspect, Dong Ton, by Sheriff William Jones and District Attorney George R . Lovejoy. It seems the suspect was accused of killing two fellow Chinese, Lai Chew and Dong Gum Wing, after riding in the car with them from Visalia to the Caruthers area. He then allegedly shot them and left their bodies in the abandoned car. The suspect at first claimed he had acted in self defense, but all indications were that he had killed the men to gain possession of the large suppfy of narcotics they carried. After reading this story we checked our files in an attempt to learn the outcome of the in­ vestigation. We found no details, since officers in those days did not write long reports. How­ ever, we did find a disposition card indicating Dong Ton was sentenced to life imprisonment for two counts of murder, and on July 22, 1925, was taken to San Quentin. On March 5, 1932, he was transferred to Folsom, and there our record of him ends.

A total of fif­ teen homicides were investigated by the Sheriff's Department and constables during the year. Of the fifteen Judical Dstricts in the county, eight had at least one homicide. The Fresno area had the dubious honor of being first, with a total of five. Riverdale, Fowler, and Reedley had two each, and Firebaugh, Clovis, and Kerman one each, while Ponderosa was the scene of an at­ tempt. The year's parade of sudden death began in East Mendota on Februart 1st. About 1: 00 a.m. Deputy Constable Russell Long was notified that there was a dead man at Perry's Camp. When he arrived at the scene he found the body of a man lying in an alleyway between two cabins. Death had apparently been caused by numerous blows to the head.

Later it was learned that his true name was Jimmy Hicks. Long and sheriff's detectives, who had been called to assist, began questioning other residents of the camp. They soon found a couple who lived in a cabin near where the body was found, who stated the victim and another man who shared a cabin with him had been heard arguing earlier in the" evening. The other man was identified as a Willie Trammell. Trammell was 10cated and questioned. He ad­ mitted he had found the body in the alley, before Long arrived, but denied any further knowledge of what had happened to the victim. He claimed he had last seen Hicks alive several hours earlier in a nearby pool hall, and that the victim was at that time involved in a fight with another per­ son. He did admit that they had quarrelled a few (Continued on tbe Next Page) PAPPAS & CO. "Golden Treat~' & "Real Treat" Melons MENDOTA, CALIFORNIA B. A. Traylor, Constable Firebaugh Judicial District days earlier, over his insistence that Hicks move out of the cabin. The man who had fought with the victim in the pool hall was located. He admitted Hicks had pulled a knife on him, but stated he merely took the knife away from him, and the incident ended. Meanwhile, officers searching the area found what was believed to be the murder weapon, in a cabin not far from the spot where the body was found. In the best horror movie tradition, it was a hatchet covered with blood. The owner claimed he had been using the hatchet to kill turkeys, and his story turned out to be true. After the man in the pool hall fight was elimi­ nated as a suspect, and the bloody hatchet was eliminated as the murder weapon, WiHie Tram­ mell was questioned further. He admitted he and the victim had quarrelled quite frequently dur­ ing the two or three months they had lived to­ gether, and, finally, he confessed that he had killed him.

FIREBAUGH OL 9-2398 Trammell's story of the events leading up to the fatal fight was as follows. Several months earlier he had taken Hicks in and let him share the cabin because he felt sorry for him. However, they had never been able to get along, because of Hick's drinking and quarrelsome nature, and finally, two days before the killing, he had made him move out. Trammell spent the afternoon of January 31st in Fresno. He returned to Mendota early in the evening, but did not go to his cabin. Instead he spent the evening drinking, and did not go home until sometime after midnight. As he approached his cabin he noticed the light was on. When he opened the door and stepped inside, Hicks, who had been waiting inside for him, lunged at him saying, "I'm going to kill you." He ran outside, and Hicks followed, apparently determined to pursue the matter. Trammell re­ membered having seen a length of 2 x 4 lumber in the alley a short distance away, and he ran to pick it up. He explained that he intended to teacll Hicks a lesson. As Hicks approached him, he swung at him several times, striking him on the head and knocking him down. After Hicks fell to the ground, Trammell hid the weapon and ran away, leaving the victim in a sitting position. He returned to the pool hall, had a drink, and played a game of pool. He and a friend then started back to his cabin, and enroute they found the victim lying on the ground. Trammell's les­ ~on had been quite severe. Since there was no conclusive evidence of in­ tent to actually kill the victim, Trammell was not convicted of homicide. On June 26th, he was found guilty of assault with a deadly wea­ pon, and sentenced to the state prison. The Riverdale area was the scene of a similar homicide on Sunday, May 13th. About noon on that date, Joycy Milusa, a farm laborer, living • on the John Hill ranch, went to the bunkhouse of Cadillac Jack's labor camp :tt 4444 W. Elk­ horn to visit a friend. There he found the body of David Jones, a 36 year old laborer, lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Milusa ran to camp (Continued on the Next Page) Sam & D. M. Biancucci, Inc.

How­ ever, no one living in the bunkhouse where the killing had occurred was sober enough to make sense. Most of them claimed they had been passed out in their bunks at the time, and their condi­ tion indicated they probably were telling the truth. Washington was booked on suspicion of mur­ der, and nine possible witnesses were booked for drunkenness, pending further questioning when their condition had sufficiently improved. One, Matthew Reshard, had a smaU cut which he claimed had been inflicted by the suspect. From other residents of the camp the officers learned that Washington and Jones had quar­ relled the previous evening while eating dinner. Washington had accused Jones of "rolling" him, and taking seventeen dollars from him while he was too drunk to know what was happening. The argument had been renewed that morning at breakfast. Washington had reportedly told Tones, "I want my money today or else!" Jones had then turned his pockets inside out, a~d ex­ hibited a!1'empty wallet in an attempt to prove that he did not have Washington's money. The next day the suspect and the witnesses were in a condition more conducive to question­ ing. The stories of the quarrels the night before and on the morning of the crime were confirmed. Reshard stated that he and a subject known only as Glenn had spent the first part of the morning drinking with Washington, the suspect having supplied the jug. He had shared it willingly at first, but later picked up the wine, and told them, "Don't be fooling with my wine." He then pulled a knife, and attacked them. Both received small cuts, but Washington abandoned the at­ tack before any serious injury was inflicted. Reshard described Washington as all right during the week when he was sober, but mean every weekend when drunk. Glenn had disappeared from the camp before the crime was committed, and could not be located for questioning.

He also admitted he had argued with Jones about money, claiming Jones had a reputation as a "drunk-roller" in the camp. 'While Washington's guilt appeared reason­ ably certain, it would have been difficult to prove at this point due to the condition of the witnesses at the time of the crime. Therefore, on Tuesday, May 15th, the local office of the Cali­ fornia Bureau of Criminal Identification and In­ vestigation was contacted, and a polygraph (lie detector) examination requested. It was sched­ uled for Thursday, May 17th. On May 16th the suspect was formally charged with murder in the Riverdale Justice Court, p resided over by Judge Floyd House. When Washington was taken to the State Building on the 17th for the lie detector exami­Aubrl'Y Byers, Constable nation, Special Agent Andrew Tickvitza and a Caruthers Judicial District sheriff's detective conducted a preliminary in­ turogation preparatory to beginning the actual test. Washington then stated he dearly remem­ bered the incident, and the events leading up to it, and would tell the whole story. He again admitted fighting with Reshard and Glenn, but added that they also had tried to get his money. He claimed that after the fight with them he had returned to his bunk and had gone to sleep. A short time later he was awakened by Jones shaking him by the shoulder, and assumed that Jones was trying to roll him again. He saw his wallet on the bunk, noticed that it was emp­ ty; then saw his knife nearby. He picked up the knife, opened it, and lunged at Jones, stabbing him in the stomach. Jones turned and started toward his bunk, apparently to get a piece of pipe he kept there as a weapon. Washington stabbed him again, this time in the back.

He stayed there until the body was found. Washington entered a plea of guilty to a charge of manslaughter, and was sentenced to eight months in the custody of the sheriff. The first homicide in the Fresno area occurred on Monday, May 21st, at the Broken Spur, a tavern at 4675 E. Belmont Avenue. The victim was Eddie Carl Williams, a customer of the es­ tablishmen t, and the person responsible was Charles Tracey, the owner. The investigation disclosed that Williams, who had been drinking elsewhere earlier in the even­ ing, went into the cafe shortly before 10:00 p.m. When he began to annoy other patrons Tracey ordered him to leave. They argued, and, according to witnesses, Tracey struck Williams with his fist. WiUiams then threw a beer mug at Tracey, striking him on the arm. Tracey took a .22 caliber revolver from a drawer beneath the bar, pointed it at Williams, and again ordered him to leave. Williams then walked to the door, and turned and said something else to T r·acey. Some witnesses said he had his hands .uP at the time. Tracey fired one shot, striking the victim in the right side below the shoulder. He fell to the floor, fatally wounded. Tracey calmly placed the gun on the back bar and telephoned the Sheriff's Department. When questioned by investigating officers, Tracey readily admitted having intentionally fired the shot, but denied that he intended to kill the victim.

The husband arrived home about 2: 30 a.m., but did not go immediately into the bedroom. He stayed in the kitchen, eating and tallying his day's receipts, until about 3:00.

Turning on the light, he was shocked to find his wife had been killed. She lay face down on the bed, a man's handkerchief twisted tightly around her throat. Investigating officers found no sign of forced entry, nor were there indications of a struggle. They were unable to immediately establish a mo­ tive for the attack. The victim had been a quiet, respected woman, and had no known enemies. She had not been sexually assaulted, and although there was a possibility a small sum of money was missing from the I~·ouse, robbery alone was not indicated. In q uestioning friends and rela ti ves, officers learned that the Bertholis had a 27 year old son, Clinton, who had been living with them part of the time since he and his wife had separated some time before.·He was described as somewhat men­ tally disturbed, and a habitual gambler. He had tried to borrow money from a relative a short time before for a trip to San Francisco which was scheduled for tha t day. A broadcast was put out immediately, and a few hours later Clinton Betholf was arrested by Fresno Police Department officers in the Grey­ hound Bus Depot in Fresno, where he had just purchased a round trip ticket to San Francisco. In response to questioning, the suspect stated he had left his parents' home early in the even­ ing, walked to Clovis, and spent the evening gambling in various card rooms. About mid­ night he had left, walked to Fresno by a some­ what unusual route, and arrived at the bus depot a short time before he was arrested. He denied stopping at home enroute. When told he had been arrested on suspicion of having murdered ~ his mother, he claimed that was the first he had heard of her death, and he consen ted to su bmit to a polygraph examination. When officers examined the scene after day­ light they found several bits of evidence indicat­ ing Clinton had been there later than he claimed. They questioned him repeatedly during the next two days, but his story did not substantially change. On May 25th, the suspect stated that his mem­ ory had improved. He remembered that he had 101 stopped by the family home for a short time on his way from Clovis to Fresno. He claimed he had spent some time outside the house, trying to decide whether or not to wake his mother and ask her to give him a ride to Fresno, and that be finally decided not to. However, he went into the house to use the ba throom, and when he walked by the door of his mother's bedroom she awoke. According to him she then began to reprimand him for gambling and not taking proper care of the children. He claimed his memory was still blank from that point on, and that the next thing he could remember was walking toward Fresno several miles from the house. Following this admission, Cbnton was taken before Judge Kenneth Andreen of the Fresno \,lunicipal Court, and formally charged with murder. For various reasons, including a court ordered sanity examination which indicated he was legally sane, the trial was postponed 'for several months. During that time a sodium amy­ tal (truth serum) examination was administered, with his permission. When questioned under the influence of the drug he generally stuck to his story of having blacked out, but made certain remarks which indicated that he knew consider­ ably more than he would admit about the death of his mother. He went so far as to admit that he might have struck or strangled her, but claimed he could not remember any such act. On December 20th, Clinton Bertholf was tried before a jury in Department Two of the Super­ ior, presided over by Judge Joseph Joy. He was found guilty of murder in the second degree. One week later he was sentenced to state prison. On June 23rd, the Riverdale area had its sec­ ond homicide of the year, the circumstances of which were similar in many ways to the first. At ] 0: 15 p.m. on that date, word was received of a disturbance at 3236 E. Riverdale Avenue, and Constable Nestor and a sheriff's patrol unit went to investigate. As is often the case on a disturb­ ance call, they found something of a much more serious nature. The body of Albert Jett, a 53 year old farm worker, lay across his bed in an old bus which had been conver.ted. into living quarters. (Continued Oil the Next Page) ENOCH PACKING CO., Inc.

Lee readily admitted having struck the victim with a wine bottle about three hours earlier. He, Jett, and the other laborers living there had been paid that afternoon, and had celebrated pay day in the traditional manner. Early in the evening, Jett had struck Lee on the head with a wine bot­ tle, inflicting superficial cuts. Other residents of the camp administered first aid, and a half hour later the two roommates resumed their drinking together, apparently with no hard feelings on either side. A little later, however, Lee decided, apparent­ ly as a matter of principle, that the thing to do was to avenge the blow. He therefore struck Jett a hard blow on the left side of th~ forehead. The victim lost a lot of blood, and Lee called in a neighbor to help wash the wound, and try to stop the bleeding. Treatment was interrupted fre­ quently for purposes of refreshment, all three drinking from the same bottle. Suddenly Jett fell across the bed. The avenging blow had ap- The Fowler Police Department ;s he(lded by Chief Albert Quintana on the left. atheTS are (I. to r.)

Lee asked someone to "call the law", and waited at the scene until the investigating officers arrived. Lee was taken into custody and transported to jail, where a formal statement was taken.

On July 23, he was arraigned in Superior Court, and entered a plea of not guilty. The trial was scheduled for September 13. On that date, however, he changed his plea to guilty, and was sentenced to six month in the custody of the Sheriff. In July, the residents of the Fowler area were shocked by the death of 5 year old Richard Charles Peters. The matter came to the attention of the Sheriff's Department on the morning of the 14th, when the Fowler Police D epartment was notified that the boy had been taken t the Fowler Hospital, and was dead on arrival. The investigation disclosed that the boy had died after being severely punished by his st p­ father, Gerald Wallace Crawford, because the stepfather felt the boy had lied to him. Early the previous evening he had struck him with the edge of his hand in the abdomen, while the boy was lying in bed. Almost immediately he showed signs of being ill, and his mother tried unsuc­ cessfully to contact the family doctor. Both the mother and the stepfather watched the boy care­ fully during the night, and his condition seemed to improve slightly.

The series of events leading up to it began early that evening when Gary Farina, a 19 year old student from the San Francisco Bay area, and a young Fresno girl went swimming at Avocado Lake. Shortly after dark, as they were preparing to leave the lake, they were accosted by a man who stepped out of the shadows armed with a .22 rifle. He toJd them he needed a ride to Squaw Valley, and that they would not be hurt if they did as he said. He at first said he would tie them and take Farina's car, but changed his mind when Farina promised to take him where he wanted to go without any trouble. All three got into the car, and, with the unwelcome passenger giving directions, Farina drove to Piedra, turned right onto the road to Highway 180, and when he reached that road turned 1eft toward Kings Can­ yon National Park. They proceeded several miles, then the man decided they were above Squaw Valley, and ordered Farina to turn around.

He tied the hands Of his victims with black adhesive tape, then took the wheel himself. He told them he would let them go, and that he would be far away by the time they could notify the police. He had been polite and friendly, though quiet, during the ride, and in answer to a question had admitted he was wanted by the police, but de­ clined to state the nature of the charge. Instead of letting them ou t in Orange Cove as he had promised, the kidnapper drove on through town, started in the general direction of Reedley, and parked at the roadside on "-Ita A venue near Manning.

He tried to open the door on the driver's side, but it was locked. He smashed the window with the rifle butt, and as he did so the girl opened the opposit~ door and ran. He chased her, and as she stumbled and fell, he struck her on the head with the rifle, inflicting a deep cut. She ma~aged to get up and run again, receiving another blow from the gun as she did so. A car came by, and she screamed and tried to flag it down. For an agonizing mo­ ment it appeared the driver would ignore her, but he stopped, backed up, and let her into the car. The suspect disappeared. The motorist took the girl to a nearby farm­ house, and Constable Martin was advised. He and Deputy Preheim arrived a few minutes later. checked the scene, and found Farina lying in the orchard a few yards from the road, still alive but severely wounded. He died shortly after arrival at the Reedley Hospital, from a bullet wound in the heart. The girl was also admitted to the Reedley Hos­ pital. Her wound was found to be quite serious, but she was able to assist the officers in their in­ vestigation, and was soon well on the road to recovery.

Early the next evening a man was picked up near Tipton by a Tulare County deputy sheriff. He was carrying something wrapped in a coat, and it turned out to be a .22 rifle with the butt broken off. His description matched that fur­ nished by the kidnapped girl, and he was turned over to the Fresno County authorities for ques·­ tioning. The man in custody was identified as Herman Yvonne Risenhoover, a 35 year old ex-convict and former mental patient. He denied any knowledge of the crime until after he was identi­ fied by residents of the Dunlap and Squaw Val­ ley area as the man who had been seen there several times during the previous few days, driv­ ing the car which had been found at Avocado Lake. He then admitted the kidnapping and murder. He was quite cooperative with the in­ vestigators after he had made the admission. (Continued on the Next Page) PLAZA DRUGS Cor.

That, plus his background of previous mental illness, raised serious doubts that his mental condition was such that he could legally be brought to trial. He was committed to the Atascadero State Hos­ pital, and at the time of wri.ting has not yet been returned to this county for trial. The Kerman district had its moment of vio­ lence on Wednesday, August 15th. Bennie Lee Bufkin, a 5 3 year old farmer, was shot and killed by his uncle while trying to settle a family quar­ rel in the uncle's home. The unde, Willie Shel­ ton McCauley, 60 years old, arrived home from work shortly before dinner was served. He had stopped on the way home for a drink, but did not appear to be drunk. Two of his daughters and their children were there for dinner. During the meal McCauley asked one of the daughters about some scratches on the face of her small child. It was explained that they had been caused by accident, but this explanation did not satisfy the grandfather. He apparently thought his daughter had been mistreating the child. The more vehemently she denied the ac­ cusation, the more angry he became. Finally he resorted to force, grabbed his daughter by the throat and choked her, and fought with his fif­ teen year old grandson who tried to calm him. While the quarrel was in progress the grand­ son tried to telephone Bufkin, who could usually handle his uncle when he became belligerent. However, the call was not completed, and the boy and his mother drove to the Bufkin home and asked him to return wi th them. (ContinI/cd on fbI' Nl'xt Pagl') 116 JOHN T.

He led him into the bedroom and tried to get him to lie down, but McCauley refused. Bufkin went back outside, and McCauley followed. Again Bufkin took him inside, threw him onto the bed, and went outside again. Mrs. McCauley then went to the bedroom door and tried to reason with her husband. She saw him go to the closet door and pick up a shotgun, and she yelled, tt He's got the gun." When Bufkin heard the cry he ran to the bed­ room door and stepped inside.

McCauley claimed he had fired in self defense, and did not intend to kill his nephew. He said he had aimed at the arm. He explained that his back had been injured when Bufkin had thrown him across the bed a few minutes earlier, and he was afraid he would be injured again. McCauley was taken to the County Hospital for an examination, and it was found that he did have a recently fractured vertebra. No doubt this was an important factor in the decision to file a manslaughter complaint instead of charg­ ing him with murder. On November 19, McCauley was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. He was put on pro­ bation for five years, and committed to the cus­ tody of the sheriff for one year. I MATT'S CLUB SAN JOAQUIN RABB BROS. TRUCKING. INC. P. O.

Taylor home on the outskirts of Fresno. Taylor and his wife both went to the door, and were accosted by a man who demanded that they sell him some wine. Two other men and two women waited in a car which had been parked just a few feet from the doorstep. Taylor told the visitor he did not sell wine, and ordered him to leave. The man then reached in the door, grabbed Mrs. Taylor, and dragged her outside. At least two of the people in the car jumped out and attacked her, pulling her hair and beating and kicking her. Taylor ran back into the bedroom and re­ turned with a 12 gauge shotgun. By that time, Mrs. Taylor had managed to free herself. Taylor pointed the gun at the man in the driver's seat, believed to be the subject who had first come to the door, and ordered them to leave.

The adults had consumed several cans of beer during the day, and on the way home from work stopped at the store and bought more beer, which they drank during the evening. Sometime after dinner, a quarrel developed over whether the children should be enrolled in school, or kept at home to help pick figs.

A short time after she left her husband re­ turned with a brother-in-law who also lived in the camp. The two men sat in the brother-in­ law's car some distance from camp and drank a bottle of wine.

He was unarmed, the other knife, which she had apparently intended to give him in order to make it a fair fight, was found later in the stalled car. During the fight Swafford collapsed.

The son then began trying to find someone to call an ambulance, but the first . people he talked to refused to become in­ volved, and it was several minutes before the call was made. When sheriff's patrol officers and the ambulance arrived a short time later, they found the victim stiU alive, but very weak from loss of blood. He died enroute to the hospital. Mrs. Swafford was arrested on suspicion of murder, and her children turned over to her sister. The suspect offered little in the way of an explanation for her act. Her only attempt at justification was a statement that the victim had mistreated her in the past. Her only denials were that she had taken two knives when she left the cabin, and that she had made any remarks about making it a fair fight. On November 13th, Blanche Swafford was convicted of manslaughter, and was sentenced to one year in the county jail. On September 13, the Ponderosa Judicial Dis­ trict, comprising the communities of Auberry, Tollhouse and the northeast corner of the coun­ ty, had an attempted murder. It was originally reported by Edward Glaspie of Fresno as an accidental gunshot wound, and at the time the report was made there was no indication of any more serious incident. A few days later, however, Constable Jack Sturges and Deputy Constable Dick Smith were called to investigate the burglary of a cabin at Meadow Lakes. They learned that Glaspie was a likely suspect, and picked him up for question­ ing. They learned that the burglary had been committed by Glaspie and several companions, and that after entering the cabin the gang had (Continued on the Next Page) 122 CRESSMAN'S GROCERIES -GAS -OIL PINE RI'DGE TO~LHOUS·E GARAGE TOWING [;, GENERAL REPAIR Tirea & Acc_orift -/IJJ;.A Sen<ice TOLLHOUSE.

In the crowd was 27 year old Clifford Hurst, his wife Carroll, and their small children. Also present was Wallace Hamilton, who had previ­ ously been married to Mrs. Hurst. A quarrel developed between Hurst and Hamilton over Hurst's insistence that his wife leave the cabin with him. Hamilton brandished a .22 rifle he had found in the cabin, and told Hurst to go ahead and leave, but that Mrs. Hurst and the children would stay. This apparently met with the ap­ proval of Mrs. Hurst, for she told Hamilton to go ahead and shoot her husband. At this point Glaspie grabbed the barrel of the rifle, and it discharged. Glaspie was shot in the stomach. Hurst fled on foot into the brush, and Hamilton reloaded the single shot rifle and fired at least one shot at him as he ran. A complaint was filed in the Ponderosa court charging Hamilton and Carroll Hurst with at­ tempted murder. However, by that time the couple had left the state together, taking the children with them. They were later picked up in Alabama driving a stolen car. Officers there learned that one of the children had died en­ route, and that Hamilton and the mother had buried it at the roadside in a shallow grave. The circumstances of the child's death are still under investigation. Hamilton was sentenced to fed­ eral prison for taking a stolen automobile across (Continued on the N ext Page) When at HUNTINGTON LAKE Visit "The Pine Cone Shoppe" LAKESHORE, CALIF.

The circumstances and outcome were decidedly different from the first. The vic­ tim was Dale H. Underwood, who was shot in the Tivy Valley home of his estranged wife by Thomas Cogdill of Selma. Cogdill and his brother had gone to the home to see the victim's daughter. She was not at home, and the mother invited them in to wait. Several other guests were present, and there were not enough chairs, so Cogdill squatted by the door. A short time after the brothers had arrived Underwood walked in, uninvited, with a small revolver in his hand. He and Cogdill had never seen nor heard of each other before, so U nder­ wood was apparently picking a possible victim at random as he placed the muzzle of the gun at Cogdill's head, and announced, "The party's over." Cogdill grabbed Underwood's hand, and the tWO wrestled for control of the gun. During the struggle they moved from the living ro·om to the kitchen, where Cogdill finally managed to take the gun away. He backed away then, but Under­ wood kept pressing him, kicking him and trying to regain possession of the gun. Cogdill pointed the gun at his attacker, who paid no attention, and Cogdill fired. Underwood fell to the floor. Cogdill fled from the scene with his brother and the girl who had accompanied them, taking the pistol. An ambulance was called for the victim, and Constable Martin and Deputy Preheim were notified. Underwood was dead on arrival at the County Hospital.

Since the homicide was obviously justifiable, under the circumstances, no charges were filed. The second homicide for the Fowler area oc­ curred on the evening of Thanksgiving Day.

SELMA truck driver who was shot by his wife, Geraldine, as he slept in their home at 3213 E. Mt. View Avenue. The Khans had planned to have the holiday dinner together at her parents' home. However, that morning Khan told his wife he would have to work, and she and the children went alone. Khan agreed to meet them there for dinner if he could. However, he telephoned at noon and said he was still working. About 4:00 p.m. Mrs. Khan went to the office of the trucking company where her husband worked. There she found his truck parked on the lot, and the dispatcher told her he had not work­ ed at all that day. His car was parked on the lot also, and Mrs. Khan looked inside both vehicles in an attempt to find a clue to her husband's whereabouts. In the truck she found several letters addressed to her husband. She read them and found they were love letters from another woman. She then took the children back to her parents' home, left them, and returned home alone. She took a .38 caliber revolver belonging to her husband, and began searching for him at various bars he was known to patronize. She was unable to locate him. About 7:30 she telephoned the "other wom­ an," having found the number in one of the letters. She berated her rival for breaking up a home and threatened to kill her. About 8: 1 5 Mrs. Khan again returned home. This time she found her husband in bed, appar­ ently asleep. As she walked into the room he started to sit up. She fired two or three times, then ran out the back door, dropping the gun ~ on the doorstep. She drove back to her parents' home and told them what she had done. They called an ambulance, but it was too late. Constable Fred Davis and sheriff's officers took Mrs. Khan into custody at the Selma Hospital. After a formal statement was taken, she was booked into jail on suspicion of murder. Subsequent investigation revealed that the couple had been married for about thirteen years. Their two children were ten and eleven years old. (Continued on the Next Page) 125 On January 1st of this year, Mrs. Khan was convicted of manslaughter. A week later she was taken to the California Institution for Women at Corona, where she is now serving a prison sentence. It was back to the Fresno area for the next homicide investigation conducted by the depart­ ment. On Sunday, December 8th, Gerald H. Norton, a 33 year old Fresno laborer, was ad­ mitted to the County Hospital for treatment of head injuries. He was unconscious, and was immediately placed on the critical list, with little hope held for his recovery. The Sheriff's Depart­ ment was notified, and an investigation was begun. Officers learned that Norton had spent the previous evening drinking with friends at a bar south of Fresno. When the establishment was about to close 'lt 2:00 a.m. the group decided to go into town and eat. Norton got into an argu­ ment with another member of the group, Wal­ lace C. Caldwell. They went outside to settle the matter, and Caldwell knocked Norton out. A friend put him in the back of a pickup truck and took him home, while the others went into town. When the man who took the victim home tried to arouse him, he was unable to do so. He left him in the pickup overnight, and checked again about noon the next day. When he was still unable to awaken Norton, he decided he should be taken to the hospital. -The officers picked Caldwell up and booked him of suspicion of felonious assault. When Nor­ ton died two days later the charge was changed to manslaughter. The charge was later dismissed due to conflicting stories of witnesses, and lack of proof of intent.

Since the crutch was missing, it is quite possible that it was the murder weapon. The person responsible for her death has not yet been identified or located. Those areas fortunate enough to escape the tragedy of homicide last year had their share of other crimes of violence. For instance, the rural Selma area was the scene of two major armed robberies. The first occurred on February 2nd, when Roger I. Lanse was robbed of his late model auto­ mobile by his step-brother, Leroy Eugene Lanse. Late in the afternoon Leroy asked Roger to take him and three of his friends from 8752 S. Bethel Avenue into Selma. Since he had no reason to suspect the motive behind the request, Roger agreed. Enroute one of the suspects produced a rifle, and forced Roger out of the car. One of the others took the wheel, and tried to run over Roger as they fled. The suspects were apprehended a short time later through information obtained by an alert sheriff's patrol deputy, and the car was recov­ ered. Subsequent investigation revealed that the suspects had also been involved in a robbery in San Jose, and were connected with a gang of juveniles and young adults who were using il­ legal drugs. Selma's other big robbery occurred on Friday, July 13th, at Ray's Flying "A" Service at 99 Highway and Highland A venue. Three men drove into the station about 3: 00 a.m. in a pick­ up truck. Two wore nylon stockings over their faces, and the third wore a bandana over the lower portion of his face.

Constable Bentley, the Selma Police Depart­ ment, and sheriff's officers cooperated in the in­ vestigation. Two of the suspects were identified as F red Weston Foston and Orville Ellis. After they were arrested, it was learned the pickup t'ruck had been stolen from Fresno. The pair had also been involved in a robbery in the city of Selma and a second auto theft in the city of Fresno. The suspects were turned over to the Selma Police Department for prosecution, since their case seemed the more serious. Over in Parlier, Chief Frank Buchanan had an assault, which for a time appeared to be a homi­ cide. The victim, Jesse White, was sitting in the car with his wife in front of a Parlier pool hall on the evening of September 22nd. Two 18 year old youths, Johnny A.

The two assailants were identified by witnes­ ses, arrested, and booked on suspicion of murder. However, the autopsy report indicated that the fight was not the primary cause of death, there­ fore the charge was reduced to felonious assault. Actual cause of death was a heart attack. The two suspects were convicted of battery, and were put on probation for three years, and committed to the sheriff's custody for four months. The Sanger area was the scene of a decidedly unsuccessful attempted robbery on March 29th. Two men were involved, later identified as Law­ rence Dean Combs and Gaylord Allison. The incident began when Combs walked into Pierce's Place near Centerville, ordered a beer, and began to carryon a casual conversation with Mrs. Annabelle Pierce, one of the owners, and a customer, Henry Clough. Something about his actions aroused the suspicion of Mrs. Pierce, and as Combs finished his beer and walked out the door, she handed Clough a small revolver. Mrs. Pierce and Clough stepped to the door and watched Combs walk to a car which was parked a few feet from the door, and say some~ thing to a second man in the car. The second man, Allison, pulled a nylon stocking over his head, and approached the door, carrying a rifle.

Clough fired at Allison, hitting him in the left leg. Allison dropped the rifle, and both sus­ pects tried to flee on foot. However, they were captured by bystanders, and held until Constable Pigg arrived. Constable Sam Kelley, chief law enforcement officer of the Dunlap Judicial District in the southeastern corner of the county, had his hands full with cattle rustlers last year. Several of the ranches in the area were hit for a few head. The modern rustler works quite differently from his counterpart of a few generations ago. Instead of stealing the live animal, changing the brand, and selling it as his own, the thief drives into a re­ mote pasture in a pickup truck or automobile, picks out a choice beef, shoots and butchers it on the spot. Over in the oil country around Coalinga, Con­ stable Tom Quinney's greatest problem was thefts of material from oil field machinery. The most popular form of loot was mercury, and for a while there was a gang of thieves operating there who took nothing else. Recently the gang was broken up through the efforts of Quinney a~d the Sheriff's west side patrol unit. The sus­ pects had been involved in similar thefts in Kern County, and for one of them a warrant was re­ ceived from Oklahoma for mercury thefts in that State. Constable Aubrey Byers at Caruthers had his usual quota of disturbances and minor burg­ laries and thefts, but no really sensational crimes were reported. The Kingsburg area, where H. F.

On the basis of available information, it appears to have been the most crime fl ee community in the county last year. Different groups of people could probably come up with all kinds of theories regarding the cause of so many homicides in the county last year. Temperance groups would be quick to put the responsibility on alcohol; sociologists would blame living conditions in farm hi bor camps; while others would take note of the number in which jealousy or lack of proper home atmos­ phere was a factor. Maybe they would ali be at least partially right. It is not the policy of The Review to try to explain why such tragic things occur; we merely try to report the facts.

Those of us who have been here a while can remember when the search for a lost hunter or fisherman almost invariably meant long hours or days in the saddle or on the foot trails. It was frustrating, exhausting, and sometimes dangerous work. It takes a long time to search a mountainside when you can see only a few yards in either direction. As hard as these missions are on the searchers, the time required for completion is even more difficult for the anxious family of the victim, to say nothing of the anguish suffered by him. The Posse and the Air Squadron have always rendered valuable assistance in such instances. However the Possee is just as limited as the regu­ lar ground party, and an airplane, while it is often very effective, is also limited by the speed and altitude it must maintain. It is difficult for (Colltilluc·if Oil til(' NC'xt Page) OILFIELDS SHELL SERVICE SNACK BAR • TRUCK STOP A. J. BAUCHMAN, Prop. RT. I, BOX 165 COALINGA WE 5-3264 COMPLIMENTS OF M. J. 6-R. S.

Even when he does spot the subject of the search, he cannot land and pick him up. He can drop supplies, and direct a ground party to the scene, but this may take hours. When the United States forest service and sev­ eral private companies began extensive use of helicopters a few years ago, their potential value in rescue work became obvious. The only prob­ lem was in having them available when needed. For a year or two the department depended upon military assistance when a he1icopter was needed. Such help was willingly given, always available on short notice, and very effective. However, a certain amount of red tape was involved, and it is essentially a local problem. Therefore the ideal solution was to organize a group of local heli­ copter operators into an auxiliary group which would be readily available. In addition to pro­ viding more direct control, the pilots would be more familiar with local territory than would (Continlled on the Next Page) BURNETT CONSTRUCTION CO.

The helicopters are equipped with litters, car­ go racks, water dropping tanks, and first aid equipment. For communication with lost per­ sons and with ground parties and control they are equipped with sirens, a 100 watt public ad­ dress system, signal mirrors and cloths, and two way radio. The Review welcomes this group to the De­ partment's family of auxiliary organizations. We are sure it's services will be of great value. The established volunteer organizations did their usual fine job last year. The Powerboat Squadron devoted many hours to the patrol of lakes, in the interest of safer boating. The Posse participated in numerous parades and celebra­ tions all over the State, won several awards, and helped to publicize and create goodwill for the Department. The Air Squadron assisted in sev­ eral search and rescue missions. The uniformed Reserve rendered a great deal of assistance to the Patrol Division, specializing in such extra duties as patrolling Christmas Tree Lane, and acting as guards at various charity fund drives. The Com­ munications Reserve was organized mainly for use in a national emergency. Its members con­ tinued their training, so that they would be qualified to assist if needed. To these private citizens who are willing to devote their own time, and sometimes their own money, to the public good, the citizens of Fresno County owe a vote of thanks.

Many proposals have been made, and several experi­ ments have been conducted, but so far no one has presented the ideal solution. One of the most frequently heard ideas is that clinics should be established to dispense a limited supply of narcotics to those who are already addicted. The theory is that addicts would not then find it necessary to become drug peddlers in order to obtain their own supply, and that therefore fewer new addicts would be created. Without taking sides for or against this pro­ posal, we present the following article prepared in 1958 by Lieutenant Ted Brown, who at that time was the commander of the vice control section of the Oakland Police Department. It tells of the results of such an experiment in Gr~at Britain. THE BR·ITISH NARCOTIC SYSTEM AND THE "CLINIC PLAN" The simaarity between the British and United States Narcotic laws is readily seen in comparing the United Kingdom's Dangerous Drugs Act of 1951, with our laws both State and Federal. In the United Kingdom it is illegal to: 1. Import, export, manufacture, sell or possess prepared opium. 2. Smoke opium. 3. Occupy or visit any house where opIUm IS smoked. 4. Possess any pIpes or utensils for smoking opIum. Restrictions on medicinal opium, cocaine, (Continued on tbe Next Page) 143 morphine and such are the same as ours: The State restricts the importation and exportation and hls the power to control the manufacture and sale, as well as requiring prescriptions and reports to be made. Officers may inspect the stock and books of pharmacists and other dis­ pensers, and violators are subject to a fine or imprisonment of not more than ten years. The Dangerous Drugs Regulations of 1953 of the United Kingdom, authorizes medical practitioners; dentists, veterinarians, and phar­ macists to be in possession of and to supply drugs and preparations insofar as may be necessary for the practice or exercise of their employment. Duties of Doctors and Dentists under the Dangerous Drugs Act, United Kingdom (1956), grants the authority to a Doctor or Dentist to possess and supply dangerous drugs, but limits this authority by the words "So far as may be necessary for the practice or exercise of his pro­ fession". In no circumstances may dangerous drugs be used for any other purpose than that of ministering to the strictly medical or dental ne~ds of his patients. The continued supply of dangerous drugs to a patient solely for the grati­ fication of addiction is not regarded as "medical need". In a number of cases doctors and dentists who have obtained drugs ostensibly for the needs of their practices and have subsequently diverted them to the gratification of their own addiction, have been convicted of offenses under the Dan­ gerous Drugs Act. • Now, in the Appendix, Appendix IV, of The Dangerous Drugs Act of Great Britain, Para­ graph 51, we find what is apparently the root of all the misinformation about the superior· "English Plan". It is found under the title "Ex­ tract from the Report of the Departmental Committee on Morphine and Heroin Addiction" and was also quoted in Her Majesty's Govern­ ment report to the United Nations for 1957. It reads: "Morphine or heroin may properly be administered to addicts in the following circum­ stances: 1. Where patients are under treatment by the gradual withdrawal method with a view to cure. 2. Where it has been demonstrated, after a pro­ longed attempt at cure, that the use of the drug cannot be safely discontinued entirely, on ac­ count of the severity of the withdrawal symp­ toms produced.

Where it has been similarly demonstrated that the patient, while capable of leading a useful and relatively normal life when a certain mini­ mum dose is regularly administered, becomes in­ capable of this when the drug is entirely discon­ tinued. The Doctor is to give such a patient a mini­ mum dose and must see him at least once a week. supplying the patient with enough heroin to last him the week or Ilnri! his next visit. It is further stated that the patient should be induced to enter a nursing home.. If he refuse~, the Doctor must attempt a cure by judicious reduction of the dose. He should be seen fre­ quently; be under sufficient control and have the addict adhere to the treatment prescribed. I quote further: "However, such pa tien ts are essentially unreliable and will frequently en-­ deavor to supplement their supply of drugs. In such cases the Doctor has an onerous decision to make regarding whether or not to drop the case, and should consult another (Doctor) for an opinion, protecting the practitioner from in­ 'luiries by the Home Office". Great Britain's report to the United Nations (1957) on the working of the International Treaties on narcotic drugs was in the form of lnswers to numerous questions. Many of these questions were answered with such statements as "Nothing To Report", "No cases came to the knowledge of H. M. Government" and "There has been no change in supervision of persons luthorized to possess and supply dangerous drugs", however the following information is reported: Under "Abuse of Drugs" (specifying manu­ factured drugs) it is stated that morphine is mainly used by addicts. There are no State Insti­ tutions specializing in the problems of drug ad­ diction, but treatment can be obtained at a~ number of private nursing homes primarily con­ cerned with alcoholics. There is no compulsory treatment of drug addicts in the United King­ Jom. The treatment of a patient is considered to be a matter for the Doctor concerned. The nature of the treatment varies with the circum­ stances of each case. There is no compulsory registration of drug lddicts in the United Kingdom nor is addiction compulsorily notifiable. An official record is (Colltinul'd VII tbe Next Page) 145 kept of all cases of drug addiction which come (0 the notice of the Control Authority. It is be­ lieved that most cases of addiction do come to notice (so says the Report). The Report adds: "As drug addiction is not a serious problem in the United Kingdom there has been no justification for seeking powers to obtain detailed information about the small number of known addicts and accordingly not all the information required to answer every question in this paragraph is available." Her Majesty's Government was able to come up with these figures: 90 cases of addiction were reported during the year. 84 of these were new cases, 6 were repeaters. 149 add icts use mor­ phine, 74 pethidine, 54 diacetylmorphine, 20 methadone and 44 addicts used combinations of cocaine morphine and pethidine. The number of known addicts to manufactured drugs in the United Kingdom in 1957 was 359. "There is very little illicit traffic in manufactured drugs" ~llld "No other sources of supply have come to notice". "Reliable information as to the origin of addiction in these cases is not available". "There are 174 male and 185 female addicts. Detailed information about age groupings is not lvailable but the majority of addicts are over 30 years of age". Included in the 359 known addicts (0 manufactured drugs are: 70 doctors, 2 den­ ::ists, 1 pharmacist and 1 5 nurses. Additional answers listed by Great Britain in­ clude: "The addict who is aliso a "pusher" is seldom encountered in the United Kingdom, though on occasions an addict may procure more than his own requirements in order to supply his friends." "Reliable information as to the number of addicts having no apparent means of livelihood is not available", and "no occupa­ tional groups of significance have come to notice but a small number of jazz musicians are known addicts'''. There were 9 convictions for offenses involving opium in 1957. Offenders were all males of Chinese, Indian or Pakistani origin. One offender was sentenced to 6 months, the others fined amount.s varying from $2.08 to $140.00. There were 51 convictions for unlawful posses­ sion of cannabis and these were mostly Asiatics, Africans or West Indians.

Sentences ranged from 14 days to 4 years imprisonment and fines from $8.04 to pO.OO. in 1957 there were 30 persons convicted of of­ fenses involving manufactured drugs; mostly addicts who forged prescriptions or by getting supplies from more than one doctor at a time ­ mostly British subjects of European origin. "There is no reliable information regarding the price of drugs sold illicitly." "There is no significant information regard­ ing the methods used by traffickers." "Her Majesty's Government have no sugges­ tions to offer about international co-operation in the supervision of illicit traffic." Such reports from the British Government show only those addicts "known to the author­ ities". Twenty-five per cent are in professional classes. Opium and hashish addicts are not re­ poned. The British Government is a party to all the international narcotic conventions to which the United States is a party. They enforce treaties in the same manner as the United States. The British and United States systems for en­ forcing narcotic laws are exactly the same. A few people have spread through the length and breadth of this land an impression that in England there is some magic afoot which is the key to the ;'arcotic con trol problem. Their system of law enforcement does not diverge too greatly from that of this country and Canada. What will produce good law en­ forcement for England will not necessarily pro­ duce good law enforcement in the United States. We have read that some of the English police are considering carrying guns, but generally they do not. There were 38 homicides in London last year. Tn Chicago with half the population there were 262. This point could be labored in a com­ parison of practically every type of crime be-~ tween the countries. Canada has the same rate of addiction as the United States yet British and Canadian law are the same. In Hong Kong were opium is sold by the Government to addicts having no medical need, only 800 applied for legal opium as compared with 68,000 addicts who obtained drugs from illicit sources. During and after the year 1919, forty-four or more Narcotic Clinics were opened by Muni­ cipal or State Health officials in large cities (Collfillllcd Oil fix Next PI/ge) 147 7 throughout the United States in an experiment which it was thought might present a simple and easy solution of narcotic drug addiction (it is interesting to note that the "Noble Experiment", National Prohibition, went into effect at this same time our Country decided to outlaw drink­ ing and to supply practically free dope to our citizens). Drugs were sold to addicts at prices as low as two cents a grain. In a I-year period in the early 1920's when these Clinics were in operation, the volume of illicit peddling of narcotics reached the point where an incredibly large amount of 71,151 ounces of narcotic drugs was seized in the do­ mestic illicit traffic -or r110re than 14 times as was seized in 1952. In New York State alone, when 16 or more narcotic clinics were in oper­ ation throughout the State, almost 4,000 ounces of narcotic drugs were seized in illicit channels during a year -or almost as much as was seized in the entire United States during 1952. In 1920, the number of drug addicts received at Sing Sing increased over 100%. In 1922 the number of addicts entering Sing Sing increased over 500% and in 1923 the increase was over 900%. This was the "Clinic Era". In 1952 only 7.8% of prisoners committed to Federal Institu­ tions were narcotic addicts. From an official report of the Bureau of Pub­ lic Health, New York City, dated February 1920, the following is noted : "The arrest of several trafficking physicians and druggists in the spring of 1919 for violating the narcotic laws caused the Department of Health to open a relief clinic. We have given the clinic a careful and thorough as well as lengthy trial and we honestly believe it is unwise to maintain it longer." "70% of the addicts in our clinic are young people (9% in the 15-19 age group) and we ar­ rived at the conclusion that the acquirement of this habit is incident to bad associates and a weak vacillating disposition. Being with companions who have those habits, they, in their curiosity, give it a trial. "Habits usually only affect the individual, but in drug addiction, indulgence appears to react on the community,.

Drug addiction is simply a de­ grading, debasing habit, and it is not necessary to consider this indulgence in any other light than an antisocial one, and that those who are charged with correcting and preventing such tendencies should be stimulated to do so. Drug addiction, per se, is not a disease, nor to be so regarded any more than excessive indulgence in cigarettes. "Many addicts endeavored to get from the Clinic actually more than they themselves needed. Non-addicts would go through regis­ tration and examination in order to obtain the drug to sell to addicts." "Ambulatory treatment is farcical and use­ less and is only putting off what should be im­ mediately done. Physicians should not be per­ mitted, under guise of treatment, to prescribe narcotics for such indulgence. Laws should be so amended that the addict should be sent by due process of committment to a suitable institution and held there until a medical officer considers it safe for him to return to society. "Absolute control of the addict in preventing renewal of supply is the essential factor. The ad­ dict that can be cured by ambulatory treatment is the rare exception and so unusual as to make one think it impossible. The clinic is not the solution." This was the thinking of nearly 40 years ago, and like all basic truths, does not change with time. During this same period, the Chairman of the Medical Society of New York stated: "All look upon the New York Clinic as a positive demon­ stration that addicts must be under institutional· control or any other kind of absolute control. The only hope is cutting off the supply of drugs as completely as possible. Therefore, no public clinics. " The following are excerpts from press reports for the year 1920: "Clinics encourages illegal traffic. A public dispensary does not tend to get rid of peddlers. It does not supply the drug ad libitum and so encourages the traffic of peddlers by keeping up the demand." (Continued on the Next Page) SAM DAVIDSON CO.

"A dispensary does not tend to prevent petty crime by addicts. The surest way to prevent crimes arising from an addicts craving for drugs is to cure the addict and remove the craving." The Los Angeles Examiner : "The municipal narcotic clinics of both Los Angele.:.~ and San Diego have been ordered closed and fin ~dly the wholesale traffic in dope which has been carried on by the municipal clinic for half a year will be a thing of the past. All clinics should, and the)' will be closed. They arc indefensible.: from either a legal or a moral viewpoint." From the State of California Pharmaceutical Society in May, J 920: "Narcotic clinics will never be successful." From San Diego, a Doctor Thomas, who was in charge of the Clinic states: "Cures would not result from the clinic treatment. The only cure is institutional treatment or placing the addict under restraint." The Chief of Police of San Diego: "Since the clinic was created in San Diego there were twice as many addicts in the city as there were before." Reports from Los Angeles: "Addict No. 101 received increasing dosages from the clinic and in addition purchased a dram a week from ped­ dlers. Addict No. I_~ I an actor, addicted to mor­ phine for 10 years obtained enough to give a fellow actor 6 grains daily. The clinic only touched about 30% of the addicts and the other 70% would not present themselves at a public clinic," Mr. M. L. Harney, Superintendent, Division of Narcotic Control, State of Illinois, in his re­ marks at a symposium on drug addiction prob­ lems in March of this year, observed that in vast areas of this Country addiction has not re­ occurred in any consequential amount as com­ pared with the situation dating back some fifty to sixty years ago, however, he does state there are spotty areas where addiction is far above the national average. In these areas, a multitude of social and economic factors cloud the picture and the problem is so large that its mere volume contributes to a paralysis in dealing with it. But, in these areas, we-have not had as yet, an effec­ tive, across the board law enforcement program (Continued on the Next Page) GROVE-BUILT HOMES 204 N. Abby AM 6-9848 FRESNO R. M. KING CO.

In 1920, most addicts had heavy habits of from 5 to 20 grains a day. Many also used co­ caine in addition to opium. Cocaine has practi­ cally disappeared. In 1930 the habits were much lighter and in 1937 we had gotten to the point of extreme dilution of heroin and very light habits. World War II figures show a dramatic fall in addicts rejected compared to World War 1. Today, nine out of ten users of diluted heroin fail to show anything except the most mild symptoms of withdrawal. Mr. Harney believes the solution of the nar­ cotic problem in this Country is primarily one of law enforcement with help from other quar­ ters -namely -medical. He observes, and I quote: "the best cure for narcotic addiction is for it not to occur." The best medicine is to try to control and stamp out the causative chemical, illicit opium. It is sound medicine to contain the addict who spreads the "know-how" and the way of life of nJrcotic addiction. Quarantine is one of the oldest and solidest procedures in public health. Quarantine and iso­ lation arc elementa'i concepts in the control of infectious and contagious diseases. We certainly have a sort of transmittable characteristic in the drug addiction phenomenon. Generally it is the addict who translates to the neophyte as a great experience the abuse of a chemical that would otherwise be so much harmless dust. If we want to eliminate this health haz:lrd promptly, we must work toward a program where we will quickly and surely take the addict out of society, place him in a drug-free environment, and then cautiously let him back into circulation with J ~ string attached. To what we have been able to do for him medically while he is confined, we add what supervision and after-care can con­ tribute. That supervision and after-care will be more realistic because of that string attached. The rehabilitation of the addict is a worth­ while and necessary concern. Marginal and doubtful as he may be, and he usually is, as a fellow human being he is entitled to the best effort we can give him. But since the best cure for narcotic addiction is for it to never occur, (Continucd on tbc Next Page) 151 ElliS ELECTRICAL SERVICE Electrical Contracting Residential. Commercial. Repairs 1961 S. 5th Street AM 4-6013 our chiefest and most practical concern must be with the non-addict contemporary of the addict. To him we owe the most responsibility. For his safety and well being, we must cure or segregate the addict. In summary, it is evident that the British nar­ cotic laws are very similar to ours. That, accord·· ing to the very meager information given out by Her Majesty's Government, including their acknowledgement that they have no statistics on many phases of this problem, it would seem that they ;'Ire jolly well playing the ostrich. Britain admits the addict is unreliable and fre­ quently supplements supplies given by the Doc­ tor. They go no further except to warn the Doctor to protect himself lest the Home Office question him. It is significant to note that there is no compulsory registration of addicts and the figures given out represent only those who are getting narcotics from doctors openly. \Ve can conclude tlut the clinic plan was a complete failure -just as was the Volstead Act -and we didn't touch upon the cries of many communities which had clinics who experienced hordes of hyps swarming in from all over the country, and with them, the peddlers and the IH:uphyte users. The clinic plan promoters claim it will work with procedural modifications; that it will do away with the pusher. How will any modification change the fact that addiction is progressive; that the body builds up a tolerance and that an ever increasing amount is required? Finally, we must agree that aside from the legal and moral aspects of society furnishing dope to addicts, no form of ambulatory treatment is feasible and that the only cure is abstinence ­ enforced abstinence -in an institution, and later, in promising cases, a controlled rehabilita­ tion with strings attached -parole with period­ ical checks such as the 1'\alline Test.

This was the starting of a career that has spanned over 36 years of dedicated serv­ ice to traffic law enforcement by Captain Ray Salmon of the California Highway Patrol. When Ray started to work in traffic law enforcement it was before the California High­ way Patrol was even created. That time is now referred to as the "Old County Days". Actually the officers were under a dual control system. The County had the responsibility of hiring and firing and the State did the supervising. Ray went to work under Captain W. L. Mc­ Carty. Including two resident officers, J a c k Tarkington in Coalinga and Joe Masini in Fire­ baugh, there were only nine Patrolmen under Captain McCarty. One of the primary requirements to become a Patrolman in those days was that you owned your own motorcycle. At that time you had to furnish your own transportation. Even the offi­ cers' personal cars were equipped with red light and siren, so they could be used on occasions; however the cost to the officer kept him from using his car on routine patrol. One of the many obstacles that presented' it­ self then was the me~hod of communication. Radios were not in use. To get in touch with an officer on the beat, they had what was known as Flag Stations. They would call this place by (Continued on the Next Page) IN FRESNO IT'S THE NEW RENDEZVOUS CHA.RCOAL BROILED STEAKS & CHOPS & PRIME RIBS To Satisfy the Most -Discriminoting Gourmet Mon to Sat. 11 A.M. -12 P.M. -Sun. 4 P.M. -10 P.M OU R LOBSTER Hos Been Coiled "THE BEST IN CALIFORNIA" Ample Parking Delicious Cocktails 'til 2 A.M. 505 N.

When the officer saw one of these flags he would stop and call the office for instructions. The California Highway Patrol was created by an act of the Legislature in 1929. The State blanketed all county traffic officers into the newly created California Highway Patrol, which was the division of enforcement of the Depart­ ment of Motor Vehicles. They furnished motor­ cycles for each officer and a 1929 Ford roadster for the Captain. Each Patrolman still had his own car, equipped for use. In fact, the first night patrol was by an officer in his own private car. As' Fresno grew, its traffic problem increased many fold. The Fresno squad of the California Highway Patrol began to grow. In 1954 Ray Salmon was appointed Captain of this area. His responsibility for these last nine years has been a challenge that he has successfully met. Today he has two Lieutenants, seven Sergeants, and 68 Traffic Officers under his command. The 68 Officers today patrol the same basic highway structure that nine men were patroling in 1927. However, the highways have been great­ ly improved to handle today's increased traffic. During the life of a policeman he never feels he does anything outstanding. To him it is mere­ ly in the line of duty. Captain Salmon has always been there to meet any challenge with no other thought than it was in the line of duty. .Due to compulsory retirement at age 65, Cap­ tain Ray Salmon is forced to take off his badge and hang up his sidearm this year, calling an end to the more than 36 years of dedicated service with the thought that if, by his enforcement ,effort, he has contributed to the continued life of (ContinI/I'd on tbe Nl'xt Pagt") FRESNO NEON SIGN CO.

The new statutes would necessarily place an added burden on the Juvenile Co u r t by causing to come before the Court cases hitherto handled by other jurisdictions. In anticipation of in­ creased court calembrs, the legislation provided for the appointment of one or more full or part time referees in counties having need of such services. Section 553 of the Welfare and Institu­ tions Code provides the requirements for the position of referee; " .... or ha ve had at least five years experience in probation work at the supervising level ...

On November 19 he was appointed as a Traffic Hearing Officer, a step taken to insure maxi­ mum efficiency in handling traffic cases of all types. The Referee's office and hearing room are both located at the Fresno County Juvenile HaU, in close proximity to the Juvenile Court. \'V'hile many of these matters are Custody Hear­ ings (determining the disposition of the juven­ ile offender prior to the pending Juvenile Court action), the Referee also hears traffic matters, as well as violations of a criminal nature (in­ cluding felonies), and dependent cases.

Suspend a drivers license not to exceed six months. 3. Grant probation not to exceed six months. The actions may be taken on each citation the juvenile may have incurred. The action which may be taken by the Ref­ eree is broad in scope, and includes granting of probation status, placing the offender on the Juvenile Court Work Program, or in situations of a more serious nature he may commit the juvenile to the California Youth Authority.

Mr. Bailey was appointed to the position of Referee after thirteen years of service with the Fresno County Probation Office. The last six years he was Senior Deputy Probation Officer in charge of Adult and Financial Division. This experience established him as a competent and well known officer in the field of corrections, and enabled him to take to his new position a firm foundation of both knowledge and experi­ ence in dealing with antisocial behavior prob­ lems. A native of Madera, Mr. Bailey is a graduate of local schools, having attended the now de­ ftinct Fresno Technical High School, the Fres­ no City College, and Fresno State College. He is a veteran of World War II, in which he saw service in the Infantry. He is married, and the father of two daughters. The Judges' unanimous approval of Frank Bailey has been echoed by law enforcement of­ ficers throughout the area, who know him as a sincere, cooperative, and successful member of our legal system.

Now one of the most effective weapons is the Polaris missile, which is fired from a submerged sub­ marine and can hit a target several hundred miles away. All of these weapons had their advantages and limitations, but it is doubtful if any was as ef­ fective in sheer surprise, not only to the victim but to the user as well, as one developed acci­ dentally by members of the Sheriff's Under­ water Rescue and Recovery unit. A few members of the group were at Avocado Lake on a practice mission, when they discovered a fifty gallon steel drum submerged under sev­ eral feet of water. Partially for purposes of prac­ tice, and partially out of mere curiosity, they decided to salvage the barrel. Naturally they could not lift it to the surface, since it was full of water. After a few dives to survey the problem, they decided to pump air into the barrel to force the water out and make it buoyant. The air pump, situated several feet away on the shore was cranked up, and a hose inserted in the bunghole of the barrel. The divers retired to the shore to await devel­ opments. It soon became apparent that a great deal of air would be nec~ssary to cffect the sal­ v}ge, since the barrel was partially buried in mud. Meanwhile, a fisherman in an aluminum boat a few yards from the scene noticed the bubbles coming to the ·surface. Becoming curious, he moved over for a closer look, and maneuvered his craft to a spot directly over the submerged barrel. Barner Heavy Hauling "They Bring The Big Jobs To Us" 4827 E.

As won as the boatman recovered his wits, he saw the humor in the incident, and realized his own curiosity had been a contributing factor.

McKinley LOST& FOUND Rescue operations usually make a good story, and there have been years when we have had severa'! major searches to write about. In 1962, however, there was not a great deal of activity in that field. There were a few lost hikers and deer hunters in the mountain areas, and, as usual, there were several drownings. However, there was nothing of a really spectacular nature. The first rescue operation of the year was the search on March 22nd for a Fresno man believed lost in the Mill Creek area above the Kings River. It ended before it really began, however. The man had been reponed lost by his hunting part­ ner w hen he failed to return to camp as planned on t he afternoon of the 21st. By the time word was relayed to the Sheriff's Department, darkness had fallen and it was de­ cided to begin the search early the next morning. \X1hen the search party reached the hunters' camp they learned the lost man had retu rned safely. He had ridden his horse into a gully too steep to ride out of, and had started to camp on foot. \X1hen darkness overtook him about three miles from camp, he wisely made himself as com­ fortable as possible and waited until morning. Early in Mayan extensive search was con­ ducted for the body of a six year old boy who was drowned in a canal at Chestnut and Jensen A venues. This drowning had first come to the (Com/illll('d Oil /IiI' Nn/ Pa.~(') THE RECOMMENDED POOL BUILDER 6116 N. Blackstone BA 2-3753 Fresno, California 161 attention of the Department early one evening when a resident of the area reported seeing a bicycle and a child's clothing on the ditch bank. \'Vhile patrol officers were checking the scene, an eight year old boy arrived with his father. He stated he and a young friend had been playing ncar the canal earlier ~n the afternoon, when the younger boy decided to go swimming, took off his shirt and shoes and jumped into the water. The older boy last sa w him as he was swept under the bridge at Jensen Avenue. He then ran home, but was so frightened he didn't tell anyone of the incident for several hours. The Patrol Division, Irrigation District em­ ployees, and volunteers searched throughou t t he night, checking headgates, culverts and lateral ditches. Early next morning the Department's U nderwarer Rescue and Recovery U ni t joined the search and spent the whole day diving, with no results. \'Vhen the body had not been found by the time darkncss had fallen the second night the search was halted, exccpt for men stationed at various strategic headgates and junction points in the canal. All efforts were resumed on the third day. T he Irrigation District cooperated by cutting off the flow of water into the canal, a process which is not only expensive, but very upsetting to farmers' watering schedules. Every available man in the department was assigned to the search, and plans were made to patrol every foot of canal where there was any possibility of the presence of the body. About noon the body was found, approxi­ mately a half mile from the spot where the boy had entered the wa ter. We do not print the details of drownings be­ cause we think such matters make enjoyable reading. \'Ve do so as a reminder to people, espe­ cially the parents of small children, to exercise the utmost care when around any body of water. During the summer the Department was called upon to assist in the recovery of the bodies of several other persons who had drowned. In each case the circumstances were somewhat different, but all had one factor in common. Each could ha ve been prevented by a little more caution on the part of either the victim himself or the per­ son responsible for his actions. (Colllil/llnl Oil 1/)(' Nnl Page) Dominick F.

Probably the oldest person to be los t in the Sierras last summer was a seventy­ seven year old woman who wandered away from Camp Sierra. When she was reported missing there was considerable concern for her safety, not only because of her age, but because she also su ffered from lapses of memory. The fears were ungrounded, however. Whik Sheriff's Depart.. ment personnel and Deputy Constable Dick Smith from Shaver Lake were enroute to the scene to organize a search party, a Forest Service employee in a fire lookout tower spotted the lost woman walking along Big Creek, in excellent spirits and condition. The " search for lost people" season always begins in earnest in September when the deer se:1son opens. On Sunday, September 23rd, a thirty-two year old man was reported missing from a hunting party camped at Lost Meadow, in the southeast corner of the county. Officers from the Tulare and Fresno County Sheriff's Departments and Constable Sam Kelley from Dunlap went to the scene and joined volunteers who had been searching since late Saturday, when the man had failed to return to camp. About 2:00 p.m. the lost man was found. He stated that Saturday afternoon his horse had been stung by a swarm of yeIlow jackets and had thrown him off. He was stunned by the fall, and when he recoverd his senses spent about three hours searchi.ng for the horsse. He finally found the animal, but by that time it was dark and the brush was so thick he could not get the horse out. He tied the horsse to a bush, made his way to a creek .where he spent the night and when day­ light came he walked to a nearby road and was following it when he was found by a member of the search party. The unexpected storm the first week end in October stranded three men in a cabin in the Dinkey Lakes area. One of them walked out for help, and the Sheriff's Department mountain patrol returned with him in a jeep, which they were able to drive within three miles of the cabin. The hunter then walked back in to the cabin and returned with his two companions. Their jeep had to be left at the cabin until the snow melted. 163 The largest search operation of the year was conducted in mid-October. Ernest J. Stevens, an employee of the Federal Correctional Insti­ tution at Lompoc, became lost in the Boulder Creek area near Horse Corral Meadow on the evening of the 16th. Search operations began that night, and continued until noon on the 20th, when the lost man was found. Several men from the Sheriff's Department took part in the search and the Pinehurst Ranger Station furnished a large crew. Two organized volunteer units, the Sierra Madre and the Alta­ dena Mountain Rescue Squads, were on the scene with bloodhounds. Aircraft from the 41st Air Rescue Squadron at Hamilton Air Force Base also took part in the search, along with several civilian aircraft. Sheriff's officers assigned to the search for Stevens had not yet recovered from their saddle soreness when they were again sent to the Horse Corral Meadow country. This time the lost hunt­ er was William R. Stark of Tulare, who was re­ ported missing the same day Stevens was found. The search for him continued throughout the following day. When the searchers returned to camp after dark they learned their quarry had walked into his camp about 4:00 o'clock that afternoon, tired and hungry but otherwise un­ harmed. Although there was nothing particularly ex­ citing in any of these incidents, there are some good lessons to be learned. In nearly every case the lost person either found his own way back to camp, or was found unharmed by searchers, because he kept his head, did not panic and did not try to do such foolish things as travelling at night. Such wisdom and judgment on the part of lost hunters may not give us exciting stories to write about, but it saves lives. O. K.
