Their passing is a blow to the department as well as the community. On October 23, 1966, we were shocked to learn of the death of Sgt. James N. Quist. His death from a heart attack was completely unexpected. Sgt. Quist, or 'Tim" as he was affectionately known to his friends, was born in Denmark in 1902 and came to the United States in 1920. He began his law enforce ment career with the Reedley Police Department in 1942, and in 1949 he became a member of the Sheriff's Department. While a member of our department, he was at various times assigned to the Jail, Patrol and Detective Divisions, and at one time he was the resi dent deputy in the Mendota area. Promoted to Ser geant in 1952, he was a member of the Jail staff at the time of his passing. JAMES M. QUIST 'Tim" will long be remembered by his fell ow officers for his work in establishing the new Peace Officer's Range. On his days off and du ring his vacations, he could usually be found ar the range, a cigar clenched in his teeth and a hammer in his hand. Sgt. Quist was a member of the First Lutheran Church. He was a Past President of the Fresno County Peace Officer's Association, a Direcror of the Fresno County Employee's Asso ciat~on, and a member of the Footprinters. He is survived by his widow, Myrtle, three daugh ters and seven grandchildren along with several brothers and sisters in Denmark. John B. Wilson retired from the Fresno Po lice Department in 1949 after twenty-five years of service. Instead of taking life easy after his retirement, as would most of us, "J.B.", as he was called by all who knew him, began a second law enforcement career as a member of the Sheriff's Department. From 1955 to 1964 he served as a special investigator, working on the Vice Detail, making background investigations, and handling a variety of other assignments. J.B. was born in Missouri and came to Fresno County with his parents in 1906. He was married in 1916 to the former Bessie Spencer of Clovis. Before joining the Fresno Police Department in 1924, he was a Lone Star District vineyardist. He was promoted to Sergeant in 1938 and held that rank until his retirement from the Police Department in 1949. In 1950 he seriously considered running for Sheriff of Fresno County but finally decided against it. He was JOHN B. WILSON also mentioned as a possible candidate in 1954, but instead supported Sheriff Melvin A . Willmirth . III health finally forced his retirement from active law enforcement in 1964. At the time of his death in November of 1966, he was en gaged in a ranching operation with his son, John B. Wilson, in the Lone Star area. He is survived by his widow, his son, and several brothers and sisters. "J.B." was a member of the Masonic Lodge, the Scottish Rite, and the Tehran Temple of the Shrine. He was a Past President of the Novkeps, a Shrine group. Everyone who knew "J.B." liked him and he will be sorely missed by his fellow officers, both on the Fresno Police Department and the Sheriff's Office. 7 SHERIFF'S REVIEW STAFF John Papazian, Staff Cartoonist and Robert Smith, Photography Editor, standing.

BLACKSTONE LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP by JOHN EDGAR HOOVER, DIRECTOR FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE I am pleased co have this opportunity to speak to the members of the Fresno County Sheriff's Office Employees Relief Association and co the readers of "The Sheriff's Review." No copic of discussion, I am sure, could be of more interest to you than that of the challenges which face the law enforcement pro fession today. Never before in our Nation's hiscory has law en forcement been confronted with challenges of such magnitude. With every passing day, the police of ficer's task becomes : increasingl y more dangerous, more complex and more demanding. Not only have the burdens on law enforcement multiplied over the years -but recently they have mushroomed. We (Continued on Next Page) FERTILIZERS & AG CHEMICALS FEATURING WILLSON COMPANY MALATHION FORMULAS the men who walk the furrows...... • FRESNO • TURLOCK • MADERA .5 POINTS • FIREBAUGH • SANGER 9 have seen growing disrespect for the rights of peace ful citizens. Youthful criminality has become more frequent and even more vicious. Riots engulf entire communities. Nearly every day unfounded and ir responsible charges are leveled against the police. Disrespect for law and due process has grown. In some instances, undue concern and sympathy for the lawbreaker seriously hamper law enforcement's best effortS. Worse still, too many of our people have become totally apathetic to the increasing crime and corruption around them. In its day-to-day operations, law enforcement deals primarily with one of the most elemental concepts of mankind -the difference between right and wrong. Unfortunately, too many people today appear to look at this concept of right over wrong as through a fogged-up window. "Fixed" traffic tickets, clever juggling of income tax returns, "slick" busi ness deals, or not bothering to come to a full stop at the intersection when there is no policeman in sight, may seem like little things to the man who does them ~but, little or not, they are wrong, and the fact that one is not caught or "everybody does it" cannot make it right. Added to the general indifference toward law and order is the tOtally unrealistic attitude evidenced by some members of the judiciary who appear to be more concerned for the "rights" of the criminal of fender than for the unfortunate members of the public who are victimized. Thus, law enforcement's efforts to protect the com munity it serves are often brought to naught by un warranted leniency afforded to lawbreakers. Yet, the law enforcement officer remains the lone sentinel be tween the public and criminal violence.

In spite of the fact that annual crime statistics show a constant rise in crime, law enforcement is doing a good job. Indeed, the American people can take great pride in the tremendous strides made in the law enforcement profession. Police departments and sheriff's offices -regardless of their size have learned that merely giving a man a gun, badge and uniform does not make him an officer. Today, skilled policemen stand Jeady to battle the criminal forces while at the same time protecting the rights of their fellow citizens. The trained law enforcement officer is aware of the latest developments in the field of law enforcement, sure of himself and sure of his weapons. He knows that proper and adequate training is absolutely necessary if he is to discharge his responsibilities efficiently and effectively. Progressive agencies throughout the Nation have also recognized the need for cooperative effort. We have learned from experience how much we can benefit from sharing new ideas, techniques and pro cedures with fellow officers. It is my belief, and hope, that both of these needs -proper training and mutual cooperation -are being served through the facilities of the FBI Na tional Academy. Operating on the principal that mutual cooperation is the key to effective law en forcement, the FBI National Academy strives to reduce crime by teaching the most effective methods of combating it and acquainting its students with the latest investigative and administrative procedures. We in the FBI believe that we have done much to further advance the level of law enforcement as a profession through the facilities of the National Academy, just as we have through our other cooper ative services such as the FBI Laboratory and the Identification Division. When we speak of cooperation, however, we must not forget that law enforcement cannot effect total victory over crime without the cooperation and assist ance of the citizens of each community. Crime is not a problem that will be abolished by ignoring it. It is a problem which can and will be met through the combined efforts of all investigative agencies backed by the wholehearted support and cooperation of every citizen of every community across the land. The time to start is NOW. The place to start is YOUR community. And, it is up to YOu. The taste that beats the others cold I 11 BLACKBURN AUTO PARTS CO.

Blackstone 222-6034 12 MODERN PEACE OFFICER TRAINING By CAPT. HAROLD MCKINNEY The problem of providing fundamental recruit training for newly hired peace officer personnel in the smaller police agencies has been solved in Cali fornia. The greatest obstacle to such a program haS' always been the cost involved. Only the larger departments operating under a more flexible budget can justify the expense of oper ating a training facility, complete with staffing. The smaller department, hiring only a few employees each year can hardly meet the requirements, financial or in terms of manpower. Some small departments overcame the difficulty to a degree by sending their recruits to the academies conducted by the larger agencies. However, this was not too satisfactory. The smaller agency had no control over the curricu lum and their officers were given instructions in the policies and procedures of the larger department, creating misunderstanding and confusion when the officer returned to duty. The California Peace Officers' Association and the California Sheriffs Association, supported by other interested organizations and individuals, formed the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Train ing of California. Operating under the Department of Justice of the State of California, the commission consists of law enforcement officials and qualified personnel from other related fields. An executive officer and staff coordinates the ac tivities of the member jurisdictions and assists in solving problems concerning academies and curricu lum. Funds to suppOrt the program are derived from a penalty assessment against criminal fines and bail forfeitures similar to the traffic school assemblies in operation in the state. Those jurisdictions adhering to the standards of the commission are reimbursed for one-half of the recruit student's salary during the basic 200 hour course. In addition, a supervisory course of eighty hours for newly promoted sergeants is similarly fi nanced. Subsistence costs for those officers attending academies far removed from their jurisdictions are also reimbursed from these funds. In December 1962, at the request of Sheriff Mel vin A. Willmirth, the Fresno County Board of Su pervisors adopted Fresno County Ordinance Section 113.2, adhering to the minimum standards of re 13 cruiting and training established by the commission. In arguing for the adoption of this program, Sher iff Willmirth pointed out that recruit training was a critical need in the department and the reimburse ment of funds to the couhty would greatly ease the burden on the taxp<tyers. He also stated that it was a form of poetic justice that the lawbreaker would, in effect, be helping to train the officers through cri minal fines and forfeitures. One immediate affect of the legislation was the mandatory medical examinations for all candidates for deputy sheriff. Prior to that time, no medical examination was conducted prior to employment. Since 1962, the medical requirements have contin ually climbed until today the county enjoys the rep utation of having one of the highest pre-employment medical standards for police service in the state. The first academy class attended by deputy sheriff personnel was held at the Fresno Police Academy, conducted by members of the Fresno Police Depart ment. In 1965, the State Center Peace Officers' Academy was formed at the Fresno City College and accred ited by the commission. The teaching staff is pro vided by those members of the Fresno County Sher iffs Department, Fresno Police Department and the California Highway Patrol who possess a teaching certificate from the California Department of Edu cation. A Police Science Advisory Board consisting of ranking officers from the various law enforcement agencies in the Fre.sno-Madera-Kings County area, has been formed and meets to plan curriculum, dates of the academy and other matters pertinent to the operation. Mr. Earl Pugsley, Police Science Coordi nator at Fresno City College and a former police officer in Fresno, provides the administrative needs for the academy. The fourth academy class com menced in February 1967 and will end in May. An other is scheduled for the fall of this year in addition to a supervisory COurse. Many thousands of dollars have been reimbursed to the general fund of Fresno County by the Com mission since Ordinance Section 113.2 was adopted in 1962. Even more important and of greater benefir and value to the community, is the training in funda (Continued on Next Page) mental enforcement provided to the many deputy sheriff personnel attending the sessions. Projected plans provide for increased sessions tv 260 hours. Through this revolutionary concept in police training and increased recruit standards, Fres no County, along with 382 other counties and cities, is advancing along the road to police professionaliza tion. Faced with increased problems in criminality and anti-social activity, law enforcement must expand its educational programs to cope with the laws and decisions severely limiting police procedures. The public cannot be expected to accept and have con fidence in law enforcement unless the members of that agency are thoroughly trained and adequately informed. The Commission on Peace Officers Stand ards and Training is providing the means to meet this challenge in the community. SHELBURNE'S .

Tom retIred on June 18, 1966 after 24 years as a Special Agent of the FBI, 20 years of which were spent assigned to the Fresno Resident Agency of the FBI. In addition, Tom was practically a native of Fresno. He was born in Michigan and came to Fres no with his parents when he was four years old. He was a graduate of Fresno High School and Fresno State College, and did graduate work in edu cation at the University of Southern California. He taught for three years in Fresno County and was principal of the Kutner Colony School before moving to Tulare where he taught in Tulare High School and was supervisor of attendance in the city schools there . Tom began his career with the FBI in June 1942, and was stationed in Seattle, Washington and POrt land, Oregon, as well as a short stint in Los Angeles before being assigned to the Fresno office in Septem ber 1945. Those who knew and worked with Tom are sad dened by his passing but without exception they all are hopeful that they might leave as many true and loyal friends, both within and outside of law enforce ment, as Tom did. Retirement ceremonies at the Los Angeles Office of the FBI and a dinner in his honor given by the Fresno Sheriff's Office command staff attest to this fact. He is survived by his widow, Agnes, a son, Thom as Gary McKeighan, and two daughters, Georgia, and Mary. We salute a dedicated law enforcement agent and an exceptional man, THOMAS F. McKEIGHAN. 14 THE MIRANDA DECISI'ON By JOHN SWENNING On June 13, 1966, the United States Supreme Court handed down its much publicized ruling on Miranda v Arizona. Upon reversal of Miranda's con viction, tbe setting was established for an almost omnipresent debate on the issues of the ruling. Law enforcement offici als, attorneys, judges, and laymen alike, all professed opinions ranging from resolute concurrence to vitriolic opposition. Essentially, the Supreme Court claimed that the Miranda decision merely implemented a basic con stitutional right, namely, the individual's right to refrain from self-incrimination. The decision extend ed this right to include all persons subjected to what the court referred to as "custOdial interrogation." The decision set forth the following as precedent: that any person who is taken intO custOdy and thus deprived of his freedom of action in any meaningful way must, prior to any questioning by law enforce ment officials, be unequivocally informed that: 1. He has a right to remain silent; 2. Any statement he makes may be used against . f d more .••Enloy 00 fresh.with this clean taste SIERRA HOSPITAL 2025 E. DAKOTA FRESNO • 15 him; 3. He has the right to the presence of an attOrney during the interrogation and, 4. If he cannot afford an attOrney, he may have one without cOSt prior to questioning. It is within the realm of reason that in effect, these constitutionally defined prerequisites could hamper and possibly even preclude the police function of ef fective interrogation. Yet the legality of these pre requisites are irrefutable because they are constitu tionally stated and defined. The police officer is therefore in a rather precarious situation. He must accept the Miranda ruling as precedent case law and act accordingly. He has no justifiable alternative. Stated simply, he must postpone his interrogation, if necessary, and thus gamble the loss of a case rather than deny the accused his constitutional rights under the Fifth Amendment. The contemporary trend in law enforcement is towards professionalization of the field . Never be fore has there been so much importance assessed to (Continued on Next Page) Free Pickup & Delivery DARREll DAVIS GULF STATIONS B. F.

In terms of social status, personal satisfaction, salaries, and working conditions, the peace officer is in favor of law enforcement becoming a profession. Although it may sound a bite trite, professional standing must be earned, however, and in the field of law enforce ment the price can be quite high. The Miranda decision is part of this high price. The number of guilty pleas has diminished consider ably. Weight attributed to confessions is lightening. Too often, police officers who have firm personal conviction or even proof of an individual's guilt, must stand helplessly back and watch this person walk away a free man; often this is due to some legal technicality. When the above situations are coupled with other prominent police problems, for example, improvement in public relations, improvement of police communications, manpower, and working con ditions, as well as improvement and maintenance of personnel training methods, one can easily see how the price can be extremely high. Many veteran officers who are extremely effective police investigators are disgusted with the current trend of emphasizing individual civil rights over so ciety's right to protection. Most feel that a balance between one's rights and responsibilities should be maintained. Many young officers who have just en tered the field of law enforcement are dubious as to the wiseness of their vocational choice. The veteran officer and the young officer cannot be completely censured for this attitude of disgust and doubt. Con temporary police problems are often quite formid ~ble, and seem to do anything but make the job easIer. However, most law enforcement officials want their publics to know, that despite the odds, they still are striving for perfection. Most tOP police ad ministratOrs will readily concur with this. This atti tude is further manifested through the emphasis placed upon education, training, and continued hard work of the veteran and young officers alike. Miranda v Arizona is a controversial issue, espe cially when emotionally or even logically interpreted. When legally interpreted, however, there is no con troversy. Law enforcement personnel must realize this. The public must realize this. Miranda repre sents a form of ideal for which the law enforcement officer must reach. With time, the Miranda decision will be acepted as "part of the game." It is hoped that when accepted as such, law enforcement will be well on irs way to becoming a true profession. 16 PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS CO. Pittsburgh Paints Morck Brushes -United Wal/paper 520 N.

This institution is staffed by members of the Sheriff's Departmenc who are responsible for their health, feeding, cloth ing and welfare. Because persons held in jail are there against their will, the problems are compound ed. Several escape attempts resulting in jail officers being stabbed and/or beaten occurred during 1966. Although there was a decrease in the number of BUT, O-f~'C.(R I TI-\OIJG\-fl THRT 516 "" WAS TriE. 51""-£0 LI}1Ii. ,., persons placed in jail, statistics indicate that prison ers were serving longer terms.

Eidson on April 14, 1964. This citation was issued in view of the valor, initia tive and judgment displayed by him in the apprehen sion and disarming of a mentally disturbed youth without injury to said youth, himself or other per sons in the immediate vicinity of the occurence. It was this devotion to duty which forced an early and unwanted retirement upon Sgt. Eidson, for on July 19th, 1965, while serving as a resident in the Shaver Lake area, he was hospitalized suffering from a severe heart attack. Immediately prior to this at tack, Sam had spent many grueling hours in the field effecting the removal of a deceased person from a remote area of the Sierras and during this time had little or no rest. Samuel R. Eidson entered service with the Fresno County Sheriff's Department on May 17th, 1949, and during his first years served as a jailor and court bailiff. On July 1, 1951, he was promoted to Ser geant and during 1952-53 served as the Resident Deputy Sheriff in the Highway City area. On July 1, 1953, he was transferred to the Detective Division and served there until his retirement except for one year of service as a Patrol Sergeant during 1955-56. In 1957, the Fresno County Sheriff's Department established a Resident Deputy Sheriff in the Shaver Huntington Lake area to assist Constable Jack Stur ges in ptoviding police protection for the many vaca tioners who flock to this area. During 1957 and 1958 this residency was filled by alternately using members SAMUEL R. EIDSON of the Patrol division and the Detective division. However, in 1959, it was decided that greater effi ciency could be obtained by assigning a single officer to this task. Sam's knowledge and love of the high country, plus his ability to get along with people made htm a natural for this assignment. Sam con tinued to serve in this capacity each summer until suffering his heart attack in July 1964. How well he performed his assigned tasks is attested to by the great number of thank-you letters and letters of commendation contained in his official personnel file. Unable to effect a full recovery, Sam reluctantly filed for a disability pension and still expresses a desire to return to harness. The esteem held for Sam by his fellow employees and many friends was vivid ly expressed as he received a standing ovation from an overflow crowd attending the Annual Sheriff's Department Christmas Party honoring recent retirees, including Sgt. Eidson and Lt. Don Christopher. It is the sincere wish of all who worked with him throughout the years that he regain his health and that he thoroughly enjoy his well-earned retirement years. I.

Chris resigned from our department in September CO become a full time faculty member of the Police Science Department at Fresno City Col lege. Although it was a bad break for us at the Sheriff's Department co lose a member of Sgt.

Chris clearly demonstrates the high caliber of men now found in law enforcement. Chris was born in El Paso, Texas, and spent his formative years in that city. Like many other young men during that period, his education was interrupt ed by military service. He joined the Marine Corps in 1945 and was sent to Camp Lejuene, N .C. for basic training. Just before he was ready co be sent overseas, World War II came to an end. Out of uni form, he decided co continue his education. He chose teaching for his future career. In preparation for a career in this field, he entered Sc. Bonaventura Uni versity, located in Olean, New York. From St. Bona venture, he transferred to New Mexico Western University in order to be closer co home. While at tending New Mexico Western, he met his future wife, Betty. They were married during his junior year. In 1951 he completed his studies and received his degree. Almost immediately after graduation he was called back into the Marine Corps, as the Korean War was then in progress. He put his college training to good use and won a commission as a second lieu tenant. After being discharged from the Marine Corps for the second time, he settled in Pennsylvania where he took a position with a heavy construCtion com pany as a safety engineer. Being accustomed co a mild climate, Chris could not get used to the cold winters experienced by that part of the country. One day while thumbing through some employment bul letins, he noticed an attractive brochure advertising the position of welfare worker with Fresno County. The brochure made much of the mild climate and scenic wonders of California (a pat on the back for our county personnel department). After ascertain ing that he had the qualifications for the position, (Continlled on Next Page) 59 , A re~ sd sra rna Chris Flammang ponders a tough acri problem. safe of Chris Flammang lecturing in class ........ as a Police Science instructor at Fresno City College.

A few weeks later he received a letter from Fresno County in forming him that he had been successful in the examination and the job was his if he wanted it. This is how Chris Flammang happened to come (0 Fresno County. After working about a year as a case worker for the Fresno County WeJfare Department, a vacancy occurred in the Welfare Fraud Section of that de partment. Chris was selected to fill this position, and thus began his career in law enforcement as a wel fare fraud investigator. He liked law enforcement so well that soon he began thinking of a more active career in this field. 60 After successfully completing the entrance require ments, he transferred to the Sheriffs Department iI1 1958 as a deputy sheriff. He served successively as a jailor, bailiff, patrolman, and identification bureau technician before being assigned to the juvenile bu reau in 1960. In his spare time he attended graduare school at Fresno State College. He became an out standing juvenile officer and in 1965 he was pro moted to the rank of Sergeant. During his service with Fresno County, Chris was active in many outside activities relating to public safety and law enforcement. The following are some of the capacities in which he served: 1. Fresno County representative, Home Safety Committee, Fresno County Safety Council. 2. Welfare Department representative on the Fresno County Safety Commission. 3. Member, Board of Directors, Fresno Sher iffs Department Relief Association. 4. Past Chairman, Fresno County Banered Child Committee. 5. Member of Sheriffs Underwater Recovery Unit. 6. Member of Sheriff's Mountain Rescue Unit. 7. Member of Sheriffs Department Speaker's Bureau.

In 1966, Fresno COUnty became an active partici p ant in the Peace Officers' Standards and Training Commission. Under this program law enforcement recruits are given an intensive training course in all phases of law enforcement. These classes are taught by specially selected experienced peace officers. As Chris had been an education major in college as well as having broad experience in law enforcement, he was chosen as one of the instructors for this program from the Sheri~'s Department. He found the job very stimulating and rewarding. Meanwhile, the Police Science Program at Fresno City College had been expanded and the college was looking for another full-time instructOr for this de partment. Chris was a "natural" for the job and W :J.S chosen from a broad field of applicants. Thus, he be came Professor Flammang instead of Sgt. Flammang. He serves as an assistant to CoordinatOr Earl Pugs ley, another former police officer. As a teacher, Chris is able to utilize both his police experience and his academic training. He feels that he can make a better contribution to law en forcement as a teacher of Police Science than as an officer because he is now in a position where he can help shape the thinking and develop the attitudes of tOmorrow 's law enforcement officers. Chris, his wife Berry, and five children live at 710 E. McKinley. To you, Chris, we wish the best of luck in your new career. Chris's success should be an inspiration for other law enforcement officers. Although we can't all be come college professors, there is much we can do m improve our chosen profession.

Because of the inherent serious ness of a homicide case, the department exerts every effort in order to attain its rapid solution. The investigative team can usually count on long hours of duty with little sleep or rest, until every detail of the investigation has been completed. Every lead must be followed to the end and a q1ultitude of reports must be prepared for the case file. Because of the exhaustive examination of the facts in court the investigative team must consistently concentrate on detailed precision in every aspect of their inves tigation.

He tied her hands in front of her and after carrying her body up the can yon, concealed it under some brush.

It was further surmised that the killer had walked from the crime scene to the Texaco Station where he attempt ed washing away the blood. From here, he walked to the All American Boy's Store and purchased the new clothing. This apparent knowledge of the stores of Reedley gave rise to the theory that the suspect was a local man. The Sheriffs Officers worked closely with Chief John Kroeker, Assistant Chief Elmer Rodie, and other members of their department in checking var ious persons known to have been in or around the store at about the time of Mary Tang's death. When Sheriffs officers returned to Reedley on February 25, they learned that Chief Kroeker had received a tele phone call from Willie's Drive In, across from Reed ley High School. The caller reported that on Feb ruary 24, at about 1: 30 p.m., a boy answering the description of the suspect was seen buying coffee at (Continued on Next Page) GRIGSBY'S FOUNTAIN 217 N. 5th STREET 935-2789 Fountain lunch Tobacco News Good Coffee COALINGA, CALIFORNIA 71 The scene describes the front of the counter of Ben's Variety behind which was found the body of Mary Tang.

The caller reported that the boy had a cut on his hand. The boy was known to the pro prietor by sight and through contact with other stu dents he was identified as being Harold Edwin Pet ker, 17, of Reedley. A check with school authorities revealed that Petker had been suspended from school since February 23rd. The Petker home was checked and it was learned that he had telephoned his parents on the afternoon of the murder to state that he was going to stay with a friend in the Dunlap area. This friend was inter viewed and he verified the fact that he had picked Petker up on the afternoon of the murder, and that Petker had asked if he could spend the night with him. He also stated that Petker was carrying an unusually large amount of money. He further stated that upon arrival at school on Wednesday, Petker had borrowed his car, promising to return it after school. An immediate radio broadcast was put out listing Petker as a murder suspect, and requesting a pick-up on the friend's automobile. Officers "staked-out" Petker's home and the school. At approximately (Continued on Next Page) McCARTHY AND HILDEBRAND RANCH P. O. Box 1 Burrel 73 i 2: 30 p.m., the automobile was located and Petker was taken into custody by members of the Reedley Police Department. Assistant District Attorney William Daly, and Deputy District Attorney Gene Krum, arrived in Reedley to assist with the interview of the suspect. A check of the suspect's hands revealed curs which could have been caused from holding a broken bot tle. His clothing smelled strongly of an odor similar to the spilled duck oil. It was found that the single latent print found on the counter was made by his hand. At approximately 5:45 p.m., Petker gave a statement admitting his responsibility for the murder. Subsequent Supreme COUrt decisions prevented the statement from being used in the trial; however, the evidence was overwhelming and after being de clared an unfit subject for the Juvenile Court, Petker was charged with murder and found guilty in a jury trial in the Superior Court of the County of Fresno. Petker is presently serving the sentf!nce imposed by that court. J. B. HAWKIN'S RANCH FIVE POINTS CHARLES MESSEC COMPANY P. O. Box 35 TU 4-2461 Five Points, Calif.

Aguirre, has taken sev eral large steps forward in the direction of better contemporary law enforcement. Because of the rela tively small size of Mendota, this fact is especially impressive. Within the Department is maintained a complete records and filing ~ystem. Contained in this system are index cards made on all issued citations and other crime categories. A case file is also kept on all crimes and accidents, as well as an arrest file on all persons booked into the jail. The Mendota City Jail receives prisoners from agencies such as the California Highway Patrol, the Firebaugh Constable's Office, as well as all local arrests made by the Mendota Police Department.

Improvements were slow to materialize for Chief Clancy, but over the years one after another came to pass. Now there are twO patrol cars, local city radio, (between station and cars and the City of Reed ley) and the Intercity Network radio. The past year also showed an improvemenr in the front office, where a new radio console was installed and everything was changed to make records, radios and phones readily available to dispatchers and officers at one place. The biggest improvemenr of all, was being able to provide 24 hours coverage in the office with the addition of four dispatchers, who handle both police and fire calls. The local fire department is linked into the local city radio band and all fire traffic is handled through the front office. The citizens of Orange Cove and the surrounding disrrict (the Orange Cove Po lice ProteCtion District and the City of Orange Cove, who have entered into a contract to provide police protection for the outlying district) can rest assured that the department is, with the utmost of their abilities, giving to the community the best possible police protection 24 hours a day. 100 REEDLEY LFRONT ROW SEATED Left to Right a R Emie Toler ............... _....

IVIE REAL ESTATE ed if Th [han the \\ On Shaver Lake & Auberry, Calif. REEDLEY POLICE DEPARTMENT Less than 24 hours after the badly beaten body of a Reedley woman had been found in her I Street variety store, the Reedley Police Department, work ing jointly with the Fresno County Sheriff's Depart ment and Constable Jim Martin, "pieced together" several small things which led to the arrest of a 17-year old Reedley youth who was later convicted of the fatal stabbing and beating that occurred on February 24, 1966. Heading the investigating team was Elmer Rodie, now Chief of Police for the City of Reedley as of December 1, 1966. This veteran law enforcement officer, now in his 16th year on the Reedley force -10 of them as Assistant Chief -is working on an accelerated pro gram for an even better and more experienced police force. One of his primary goals was the establishment of Reedley's first Police Reserve Force. Four reserves were sworn in last December, and more'will be add ed if demands warrant. The patrol cars, which now number three rather than two, are Out in force during the latter parts of rhe week, although two are running every day. The cars have been equipped with heavy wire screen be tween the front and back seats, and riot guns. Chief Rodie has had all of his force trained in riot gun control, as well as proper fingerprinting methods. He is also a firm believer in having his men attend as many law enforcement schools available. The 48-year old Chief also instigated the move to have radar installed as a means of curbing speed violators. So far, reports Rodie, traffic has slowed down considerably as over 70 citations have been issued from December 22 throughout the month ot January. Realizing that nearly $2000.00 in bicycle thefts occur during the year, Rodie has initiated a cam paign whereby all bike owners must have a license, and that all store owners selling the two-tired vehi cles must fill out a form and mail a copy to the Police Department regarding the purchaser, frame style and number, and other pertinent information. Another item he is hopefully anticipating the City Council will put into effect is a curfew law for youths 18 years of age and under. As of now, it appears favorable that it will become an ordinance.

The vast majority of these people are careful law abiding citizens, but there is always that small percentage who either through ignorance or JUSt plain carelessness, ignore the laws and safety regulations made for their pro tection, thereby endangering not only their own lives, but also the lives of others. In order to cope with this situation, the Sheriffs Department assigns resident deputies at the more popular resort areas for the duration of the tourist season. Last summer Deputy Jim Egerer (now Sgt. Egerer) was stationed at Huntington Lake, Deputy (het Lovgren at Shaver Lake, while Deputy Jerry Lawless was again responsible for the huge Pine Flat Lake recreational area. Deputy Lawless reports on activities at Pine Flat while Deputy Lovgren reports on the Shaver-Hunt ingtOJil area. PINE FLAT LAKE By JERRY LAWLESS Pine Flat Lake is a sportsman's paradise located in the foothills only 30 miles east of Fresno. It was formed by Pine Flat Dam which stands 429 feet high and impounds over one million acre feet of water. The lake has 87 miles of shoreline and is rapidly becoming one of the popular recreational BOATING SAFETY. This float was entered in the 1966 Veterans Day parade along with other Sheriff's Department personnel and equipment. 105 T his is what happens when safety rules are over looked. Luckily, this vehicle was not damaged, nor was anyone injured, except for a dunking, when the drivel' forgot to set his handbrake on this steep downgrade launching ramp. State law requires the hand brake to be set with the vehicle in gear and the switch off whenever left unattended. areas in the state. Over 700,000 people visited the lake during the 1966 season. The lake has something for nearly everyone. For the fisherman; bass, crappie, bl uegill, catfish, and trout abound in the calm, clear water. During the 1966 season one lucky angler reeled in a 10 lb. Rain· bow, another landed a 28 lb. catfish, and still an other scored with an eight pound bass. For the water skier there are twenty miles of warm clear water just waiting for him to test his skill. If the vacationer desires a more daring type of recrea tion, there is kite flying from the skies. For the camper, there are many fine camping areas available. Picnic tables, barbecues, and clean rest rooms are provided by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. For the boating enthusiast, three excellent marinas, Lakeridge, Lombardos, and Trimmer, are available. Many new boating slips have been provided for .1 busy 1967 season. For those who like all the conveniences of home, a new modern trailer park with individual patios anu utilities is available at Island Park. The trailer park and store are operated by Mr. and Mrs. Burford and son Bud . Lakeridge also has a trailer park and gro cery store open the year around.

The mountain deputies job would be much more difficult if it were nor for the helpful effortS of the local citizens. Larry Shannon of Shaver Lake, with his resuscitator and first-aid ability, has saved many a life. Larry has on many occasions dropped what ever he was doing to accompany one of the deputies on a mission of mercy. Whether the mission was for helping the victim of a heart attack, drowning, or auto accident, Larry never questioned the reason or destination. Howie Weeks of Camp Edison provided the deputies with boat launching facilities, a boat dock,. and unlimited assistance whenever needed. Do you ,·.ecognize this area? It is the new look at Lombardo's at Pine Flat Lake. Bill, Marie, and Tony Lombardo have been working the past two winter seasons building this new beautiful marina for the convenience of boaters. Approximatel), forty more boat slips have been added. The willingness of rhe local citizens to help when called upon was apparent this past summer. A re POrt was received short! y after darkness that a fisher man was located in a canyon, between Shaver Lake and Dinkey Creek, with a broken leg. In less than an hour there were over 25 local citizens volunteering their services, including several members of the Sheriff's Jeep Squadron who either reside permanent ly or temporarily at Shaver Lake. Along with Duane Taylor and Bud Miller of the jeep squadron, Larry Shannon and twelve volunteers, the injured fisher man was carried out by stretcher basket by daylight the next morning. They say everybody is a ham, or has a hidden de sire to perform. Deputy Jim Egerer got his big op portunity in July during the Huntington-Shaver Lake water ski show. Jim was featured in one of the come dy routines as he captured twO robbery suspects flee ing the scene on water skis. The Huntington-Shaver Lake water show is one of the highlights of the summer season. The show features local talent and is directed by China Peak's Bob Autrey. No summer is complete until the deputies log some saddle time in the back country. Chet Lovgren accompanied Sgt. Young and several members of the search and rescue detail into Evolution Valley in search for an overdue fisherman. After riding 40 miles in two days it was 'Juite apparent to Chet that saddles were not built for comfort. Jim Egerer ventured into the back country the hard way.

Suppc partm fraud result5 dicate Cou Adr Pro! co A. vic ta fn 1 WHAT OT,HER AGENCIES ARE DOING As in the past, the Review takes the opportunity to introduce other local law enforcement agencies to the reader. An exception to this policy has been the Fresno Police Department which has its own magazine. This year the Welfare Fraud Unit of the Fresno County Welfare Department and the United States Border Patrol, which maintains a station at 4367 North Motel Drive, will be heard from. Both of these agencies work efficiently and without tanfare. It is possible that many readers may not be aware of their contribution to local law enforcement. I t is, therefore, a pleasure for the Review to present these WELFARE FRAUD UNIT By JIM MOORE Within the austere facade of a war surplus bar racks building situated on the Hospital grounds is the headquarters of Fresno County's Welfare Fraud Unit. This Unit of three men is part of the Family Support Division of the Fresno County Welfare De partment. The purpose of the Unit is to investigate fraud which is committed by welfare recipients. The results for the calendar year 1966 may serve to in dicate the success of the operation. Court orders for restitution ........._._ $12,298.90 Administrative offjset ..................._ 5,621.60 Promissory notes ............................. _ 14,039.77 TOTAL $31,960.27 These figures do nOt include welfare assistance cases which have been discontinued due to fraud invesri gatton. The greatest resul t, however, is the deterrent effect that this Unit provides to potential fraud perpetrators and dollar estimates in that area are incalcuable. Since 1949 when Harry White (now with State Parole) and Barbara Barnes (now wife of Sgt. Stan Barnes) began this operation welfare fraud investigation in Fresno County has been steady and persistent. From 1950 to date welfare fraud cases have regularly ap peared on the Court calendar with little or no fan fare. During the sixteen years of operation tWO events have made the job of welfare fraud investiga tion more difficult. l. The welfare assistance case load has continued to expand with a proportionate increase in number of fraud cases to be investigated. 2. Welfare regulations as promulgated by the State Department of Social Welfare have be come more complex as well as more liberal. As a matter of explanation there must be a violation of such regulation, which is interpre tation of the code, before there can be welfare fraud. The future of this obscure and unspectacular but very necessary operation is of prime importance to the three investigators who comprise the Welfare Fraud Unit, Jim Moore who has had the responsi bility for its conduCt since 1956, Bob Werner and Ellis Graham. There is little doubt that the number of cases will increase, otherwise it should be busi ness as usual . THE U. S. BORDER PATROL By EUGENE E. WICKERSHAM SENIOR PATROL INSPECTOR The United States Border Patrol was created by an Act of Congress, approved May 28, 1924. The Border Patrol was established to control the Mexican and Canadian borders. This act was augmented by the act of February 27, 1925 which extended the Border Patrol activities to the coastal areas and pro vided the basic authority to make arrests in the en forcement of immigration laws. This authority has been continued and amplified in the Act of June 27, 1952. Our history dates back to 1904 when mounted in spectors patrolled the Mexican border to prevent the illegal entry of Orientals. This group of officers later became known as Mounted Guards which was the forerunner of the Border Patrol. The primary mission of the Border Patrol is to detect and prevent !'muggling and unlawful entry of aliens into the United States and to apprehend per sons guilty of such violations.

Service Officers with recent field experience who are specially qualified in their subjects are selecred for temporary assignment to the Academy as in structors. The curriculum covers 560 hours of in strunion during a period of fourteen weeks. The trainee officer attends classes 8 hours per day, five days per week and participates in field training on weekends. The curriculum includes: Immigration Laws and Regulations; Nationality and Citizenship; Duties and Authority to Act; Interrogation; Spanish; First Aid; Physical Training and Judo; Firearms; Crimi nal Law; COUrt Procedures and other subjects. All Border Patrol officers serve a year as Immigra tion Patrol Inspector (Trainee). During this year the officer is given examinations at 5Y2 months and at 10 months. If the officer make suitable advancement in proficiency during the year he is given a Career Conditional appointment and upon completion ot three years satisfactory service, he is then given a Career appointment. Each Border Patrol Sector has a Headquarters and a number of strategically located stations. A Border Patrol Sector is supervised by a Chief Patrol In spector. The Chief is assisted by a Deputy Chief Pa trol Inspector and tWO Assistant Chief Patrol In spectors. In the smaller sectors the position of Dep uty Chief Patrol Inspector has been eliminated. Each Sector Headquarters usually has an officer assigned to Intelligence functions; an officer designated for Anti-Smuggling duties and from one to four airplane pilots. A Border Patrol station varies in size from one to nearly one hundred officers, depending on the sensi tivity and complexity of the area. These stations are supervised by a Senior Patrol Inspector. The number of Senior Patrol Inspectors at a station depends upon the number of personnel in the station. Usually a Senior Patrol Inspector supervises from one to seven Patrol Inspectors. The Livermore Sector is comprised of six Border Patrol Stations located at Sacramento, Stockton, Fres no, Salinas, Livermore, and Bakersfield, Sector Head quarters is at the Santa Rita Rehabilitation Center, Highway #50, Pleasanton, California. Work throughout the Livermore Sector consists . arily of farm and ranch check and the checking industries. Approximately 23ro of the aliens ap ed in the Livermore Sector are those who 117 U. S. Border Patfol station at 4367 North Motel Drive, Fresno. enter legally as visitors and later violate their status by seeking employment or becoming gainfully em ployed. Approximately 67ro of the aliens appre hended in the Livermore Sector are those who enter without inspection. lOro of the aliens apprehended in the Livermore Sector enter by other means, one of which is falsely claiming to be citizens of the United States. The Livermore SectOr is responsible for the Border Patrol mission in the northern forty-nine counties of California. In 1966 the Livermore Senor apprehend ed 10,450 illegal aliens. The Fresno Border Patrol unit is responsible for the Border Patrol mission in Merced, Mariposa, Md dera, Fresno, Tulare and Kings Counties. During the year 1966, this unit apprehended 2,724 deport able aliens, 99ro of whom were natives and citizens of Mexico. One hundred forty-one of the aliens ap prehended by the Fresno unit were referred to the Border Patrol by other law enforcement agencies. Liaison with all law enforcement agencies is partly responsible for the great success of our operations in California. Many law enforcement agencies are cog nizant of the numerous types of documents required by aliens in the United States. Our Service published a pamphlet "Documentary Requirements of Aliens in the United States" espe Cially for law enforcement officers. We will gladly furnish any agency with copies of this pamphlet. Special attention is invited to the non-immigrant class of aliens. 23r(l of our apprehensions are aliens in this category. The greatest offenders in this group are aliens admitted for a visit who after entry into the United States find employment. A great majority of Mexican aliens admitted for a visit to the United States will have in their possession Form 1-186.

One of the many problems of this Service is fraud ulent documents. These documents usually come within two categories as follows: 1. Counterfeit documents 2. Altered documents The most common counterfeit document is Form 1·151. This document is the alien registration receipt card. The lawful holder of this card has been legally admitted to the United States for permanent resi dence. It is very difficult to recognize the counterfeit from the lawful document, provided the counterfeit is a good one. Special training in the field of fraud ulent documents is the basic reason our officers are so successful in detecting these frauds. Altered Forms 1-151 and Form 1-186 are generally altered by the changing of photographs on the valid form and the person assuming the identity of the lawful owner. False claim to United States citizenship is also a common violation of the law. This is accomplished by five basic methods. 1. Oral claim 2. Delayed birth registration 3. Alteration of birth certificate 4. Assuming the identity of another 5. Alteration of baptismal certificate Surprising as it may be, the most difficult case to make is the oral claim. This person does not pos sess documents and most of the time he has a well rehearsed story regarding all of the particulars per taining to his false claim to birth in the United States. Delayed birth registration is usually obtained in this manner: the person responsible for the fraud will obtain two to four false affidavits from persons attesting to the birth of a child in a given locality in the United States. This person then corresponds with the Bureau of Vital Statistics and on the strength of these affidavits a record is established. Subsequent to the establishment of the fraudulent record, he requests a copy of his birth record. Now for all practical purposes he is a United States citizen. The alteration of birth and baptismal certificates very much speaks for itself. The documents are mere ly altered to apply to the person using them. When a person assumes the identity of another for the purpose of false claim to United States citizen -' / eN ! .. ship, he usually possesses birth and baptismal cer tificates of another person of whom there is generally a family relationship or close association. I have outlined some of the problems that con front our organization and I sincerely hope it will be beneficial to your agency. We would hope that any time an officer of your organization has good reason to suspect a person of being an alien illegally in the United States you will not hesitate to call upon us for assistance. After all, aliens are our specialty and we have a primary inter est in them. The U. S. Border Patrol is always ready to help a fellow law enforcement officer. Feel free to call upon us at any time.

Bill Young and I are likely to have to or ganize a search and rescue operation at any time between the opening of trout season in April and the closing of deer season in November. This particular weekend I didn't see how we could miss. Deer season opened in the Sierras on Saturday, and the woods were full of hunters with all stages of experi ence, ability, and judgment. The Sheriffs Department isn't responsible for game law enforcement, but since the Sheriff is charged with the protection of life and property, when a fisherman or hunter gets into trouble he be comes our responsibility. Each year we can count on from fifteen to twenty-five trips, lasting from a few hours to several days, into the back country on an errand of mercy.

Before I had time to change into my uniform, I was handed a report of a hunter having suffered a kidney stone attack near Purple Lake, in the ex treme northeast corner of the county, a day's horse back ride from the nearest road. While I was pon dering this problem a call came from the High Sierra ranger station near Mono Hot Springs, reporting a hunter missing since the previous day from his camp near eleven thousand foot Mt. Shinn, west of Evolu tion Valley. At the same time another officer was taking a call about a hunter lost in the Grizzly Creek basin, a roadless wilderness between the south and middle forks of the Kings River. The first problem was relatively easy, at least for me. I dumped it into the lap of Sgt. Don Safford, liaison officer for the Sheriff's Helicopter Squadron. He assured me that within a couple of hours the patient would be in a Fresno hospital, and it turned Out he was right.

The other twO problems weren't quite so simple. A full-scale search and rescue operation in many ways resembles a miniature military campaign. In volved in the operation may be several searchers on foot or horseback, a number of jeeps patrolling rough roads and trails and transporting men and supplies into remote areas, and an airplane or tWO searching from the air or dropping supplies into areas where even the jeeps can't go. It's my job to direct and coordinate all these activities from a field headquarters truck equipped with citizen's band, air craft, and police radios. Sgt. Young accompanies and supervises the units in the field. With a pool of about thirty deputies trained in mountain rescue procedures, and several volunteer auxiliary units, we're usually well prepared for any eventuality. Just the weekend before, the Air and Jeep Squadrons had, in preparation for deer season, sharpened their skills with a joint ' communication navigation exercise. This time I had to figure out how our miniature army could fight a two-front war. The two hunters were lost in areas only thirty air BEST WISHES From Ilttttk of Anttriru NATIONAL nWNG~ ASSOCIATION FRESNO MAIN BRANCH A Fresno County Product of ANDERSON-CLAYTON & CO., FOOD DIVISION Fresno, California 123 miles apart, both about a hundred miles from Fresno. They might as well have been a hundred miles away in opposite directions. Separating the two areas is the canyon of the Kings River's middle fork, one of the deepest and most rugged in the west. To get from one to the other, it is necessary to drive almost all the way back to Fresno and re-enter the mountains on another highway. A string of eleven thousand foot peaks along the canyon's north rim makes even radio contact q,etween the two areas virtually im possible. ' Sgt. Young arrived at headquarters shortly after the helicopter was dispatched and we began plan ning the dual operation. Since the Me. Shinn area is more remote, we concentrated on it first. We de cided to establish base camp on top of Kaiser Pass, still a seven hour jeep ride from the search area, but· as close as we could get our command truck and still have satisfactory radio contact. At that elevation I could talk to Bill and his crew in the field, and still keep headquarters informed of our progress. Bill called Jack Heitzman, commander of the Jeep Squadron, and arranged for units to provide trans portation.

Ir was well past midnight when I arrived at base camp on Kaiser Pass. Bill and his crew had already deparred, after Mike had cooked them a hot meal. Les and Mike were trying unsuccessfully ro stay warm. Kaiser Pass is almost ten thousand feet high, and the temperature was quite a COntrast ro the hundred degrees we'd had in the valley that after noon. I helped myself to a cup of Mike's coffee, then radioed headquarters and learned that Boulware and his crew had departed as scheduled. (ContinNed on Next PaRe) CIGARETTE SERVICE CO. COMPLETE VENDING SERVICE PHONE 268-4419 405 N. Palm Fresno, California 125 During the few remaining hours till daylight we tried to sleep, but were awakened every few minutes by radio traffic between the jeeps. They obviously weren't driving on a freeway. Quite often they had to pry boulders out of the trail, or winch the vehicles over a particularly rough spot. At daybreak there was a high overcast, but the ceiling was adequate and visibility was good. I ra dioed headquarters to relay this information to Bill, along with the compass heading and mileage from the dam at Huntington Lake, so the pilot wouldn't have to waste valuable air time looking for the truck. A few minutes later headquarters announced that Stan Faller would be over at 8 :00 a.m. in his Cessna 210, and that Andy Holmes would take his 140 to Grizzly Creek to assist Boulware. We had breakfast, and while Les and Mike took care of the unglamorous but necessary camp chores, I tacked the appropriate topographic maps onto the board, marked the location of the truck and the lost hunter's camp with colored pins, and got more pins ready to mark the progress of each search team as soon as they began actual operations. A couple of minntes before eight all three radios began chattering simultaneously. Headquarters called for a progress report, and I knew that Sheriff Will mirth or Undersheriff Long had just arrived at the office. Faner radioed that he was over Kaiser Pass, had the truck in sight, and requested further in structions. Bill reported he had received an uncon firmed report from another hunter that the lost man had been found. J told headquarters to stand by, Faller to circle the area, and asked Bill how soon he would have confirmation. "We'll know in a few minutes," he said . "His camp's JUSt around the next bend." Ten minutes later Bill confirmed the report. The lost hunter had found his way back to camp the previous night, and was out hunting again. "Remember we're not through yet, though," Bill said. "We've still got a seven hour ride out of here." "I know," 1 told him. ''I'll see you back in Fresno in a day or two. I'm going to Cedar Grove to see how Boulware's doing." 1 radioed the report to headquarters, then diverted Faller to Grizzly Creek. He would be there in just a few minutes, but it would take me most of the day. I left Les and Mike to break camp, and told them I'd radio instructions as soon as I located a site for a base camp.

The only road in the area is Highway 180 which follows the river, and at any point on it where the CB would be effective 1'd be too low to contact headquarters. Soon after I left Kaiser Pass I was notified that Sgt. Safford wanted to talk to me. He'd just spent three hours in a helicopter over Grizzly Creek with Harry Rogers. We ordinarily don't use helicopters for routine search, because our budget won't stand the high operating cost, but in this instance the lost man's hunting companions had agreed to pay the bill. I met Safford near Academy about noon, and received the first progress report on the Grizzly Creek mission. "It doesn't look good," Safford said. "We covered the whole basin, and if he's still on his feet we couldn't have missed him. If he's down, though, we could have hovered right over him and not seen him. That brush is really thick." "Did you talk to Boulware?" "No, we didn't have a CB. We saw them riding up the trail, though, and everything seemed to be in order."

I think you can get your rig in there all right. I've made it in a pick-up." I quickly located the road on my map. It looked very promising. Thanking Herb for his help, I took off to reconnoiter. I radioed Les and Mike, who were enroute to join me, to bring the truck to Hume Lake and wait. I found the road steep and rocky, but de cided the truck could make it. Just as Herb had said, I found a spot where I could look directly into Grizzly Creek basin, and even spotted a tiny meadow I assumed was Burns. Just before sundown I met Les and Mike at Hume Lake. By the time we got the truck in to the ancient log loading ramp I'd picked for a campsite it was dark. We unloaded our 110 volt generator, cranked it up, plugged in the floodlights, and were raising the CB radio antenna when Sgt. Bill Weaver radioed from headquarters. "How soon can you phone me." he asked. "At least an hour," I said. "Can't you give me the message on the air?" "No details," he said, "but Boulware just phoned from Cedar Grove. He wants you to contact him as soon as you can." Because Weaver couldn't give me the message on the air, I was pretty sure Boulware's news was bad. We never broadcast information about death or seri ous injury before the next of kin is notified. "Any reason for me to leave the truck up here for communications relay?" I asked. "No, but you might need it at Cedar Grove to morrow. Boulware's going to need a lot of help." Les and Mike had been busy unpacking equip ment, and hadn't heard the conversation. They gave me some pretty funny looks when I told them to re load and follow me to Cedar Grove. ''I'm not sure what's going on either," I said. "We'll find out when we get there." When I drove into the yard at Bob Simmons' place about eleven o'clock, Boulware was waiting. "Any luck?" I said. "Yeah, most of it bad. We found the body up there, and it's going to be a rough job getting it out." "What happened? Heart attack?" "Let me tell you the whole story from the begin ning," Dick said, "and see if you arrive at the same conclusion we did." "Go ahead." "This guy and four buddies showed up here Fri (Continued 011 Next Page) 129 day morning," Dick began. "They all work together, and the ochers had hunted here before. Bob packed them in to his camp at Burns Meadow, and on Sat urday morning at daylight he took them and another party of four out. He had them dismount at intervals for a sweep west across the basin toward Happy Gap. He. showed them a big white rock where they were to meet at eleven o'clock. He wanted to put his partner in the middle of the line, since he hadn't hunted much before, but he insisted on being the first man off his horse. Said he was coo saddlesore to ride anymore. After some argument, Bob gave in and let him take a position at the end of the line. "Well, at eleven everybody but him shows up. Nobody has seen or heard from him. They wait a while, and they hear a shot. Bob figures it might have been the lost hunter shooting a deer, so he tells the rest of them to wait while he takes his horse down to him. When he can't find him he returns for the others, and they spent the rest of the day looking for him. No luck.

And man, what brush! Some places the horses couldn't wade through. The airplanes were over all morning, and worked real well with us, but for hours we didn't find a thing to go on. Our first break came about noon when we found his deer tags on the trail near where he'd last been seen. Nearby was a good footprint. Till then nobody had any idea what his track looked like. After that we started concentrating on trails and creek beds, looking for tracks. "Late this afternoon Jerry Lawless and Ed Lamb, along with Bob and one of the lost hunter's buddies, found a track in Grizzly Creek. It led downstream to a point near their camp, left the stream, then re turned to the stream and kept going down. About a mile and a half below the camp they found the lens of his scope sight and a pile of sticks and leaves.

"He was lying on his back, with his gun cradled on his chest, muzzle pointing toward his head. In his left hand was a forked stick. He had a bullet hole in his right eye, with a lot of powder burn. There were no tracks except his." "Looks like suicide," I said. "We couldn't see it any other way," Dick said, shaking his head. "When do you figure he did it?" "Lamb guessed it was Sunday night, and he's photographed enough bodies he should know." "What about a motive?" "This guy was no woodsman. He had no food, no warm clothes. He didn't smoke, so he didn't carry matches. He must have become pretty miserable Sat urday night. He probably waited so long Sunday be fore he tried to light a fire with his scope lens that the sun was too low. When he failed, he panicked. He probably couldn't stand the thought of another night in the woods alone." "Too bad," I said. "Yeah. Especially since, if he'd waited till day light, from a point thirty feet farther down he could have seen the ridge on the opposite side of the high way, only three or four miles away. Les and Mike arrived about the time Dick finished his story. We slept a while, then Mike cooked break fast, and we were on the trail by dawn.

"You guys go home and get some reSt. We have about seven or eight more weekends before the sea son closes." While I waited for Sgt. Fred Pipkin of the cor oner's bureau I sat under a tree analyzing the situa tion, as we always do at the completion of a mission. Why had this happened? What measures could have been taken to prevent it? Hadn't the victim been aware of the potential danger of hunting in strange territory, or did he, as so many people do, take the attitude, "It won't happen to me?" Obviously, he erred in failing to familiarize him self with the territory so he wouldn't be likely to become disoriented, and he should have devised a plan of action to fall back upon in case he did. His wandering around at random, wasting energy and becoming more confused, instead of finding an open SpOt and staying there till he was found, was very poor judgment. Apparently he finally remembered the well-known but often erroneous rule that if you're lost you should follow a stream down, bur even then he didn't use his head. There was an easier way out; and although he could have made it out by foHowing the stream, he gave up too soon. But the most basic error, and one which would have been almost ridiculously simple and inexpensive to avoid, was that of failing to carry matches. A man can survive several days without food; he can go al most as long without water, and in timbered moun tains he can usually find water. Therefore, of the three, matches are often the most important. A fire can signal searchers, keep a man warm, and to a large extent prevent the panic brought on by dark ness and loneliness. I was reminded of the ancient proverb, beginning, "For want of a nail the shoe was lost, For want of a shoe the horse was lost, etc.," describing a chain reaction of events culminating in the loss of a king dom. Had the victim carried just one match, he might nOt have lost his life. BILL EADS SHARP CARS 100_% Financing Available New Car Trade Ins 2259 S.

A complicated job at best, tracing a telephone line is time-consuming and often impossible. Even with the new equipment, the job is still complex. Previously, a caller's line was lost as soon as he hung up. Now, in some central offices, the line can be held open indefinitely, giving the company time to complete a trace. In other types of central offices widely used by PT&T, new devices will cause information about the origin of the call to be recorded every time a certain number is called. The equipment is literally fool proof whenever the call is originated and completed in the same central office facility. In addition, Hayden said the Bell System is work ing on more and better tracing gear which will ul timately be available in California. On the other front, Pacific Telephone and the Bell System launched a nationwide publicity program last calls. ing year to educate custOmers about crank and obscene The program stressed two simple points -(1) hang up immediately and (2) caIl the business office if the calls persist. In connection with this, the company began keep detailed records of nuisance calls complaints made by customers. Even though the figures don't accurately reflect the problem since many nuisance calls are never report ed, they are still revealing. In the Company's Fresno District, PT&T received during a ten-month period an average of 138 com plaints a month. Of these, 97 were classified as ob harassing, or threatening.

Most of the complaints are handled and closed after the first call to the local telephone company business office. Trained personnel discuss the prob lem with the customers, giving them · suggestions on how best to deal with the problem. The second most frequently used remedy has been to give the customer a new telephone number. In some cases, the customer may request that his new number not be printed in future telephone directo nes. When all else fails, a request may be made for "line identification," the company's phrase for trac ing a call. It is at this point that the company's new equip ment is put to work. If all goes well, and the caller is identified, the victim may wish to press charges. Through the first six months of 1966, the Bell System completed enough line identifications to re cord 518 arrests and 378 convictions, figures the company felt would double in the last half of the year. Here in California, the final seven months of 1966 showed 77 arrests and 46 convictions. "As soon as people realize that they can effectively muzzle the crank caller by not responding to him, we'll get the upper hand," Hayden summarized. "It is the customer, our first line defense, th at turn the tide," he said.

WASH, COUNTY COUNSEL Today as one enters the Millerton Lake State Rec reation Area above the town of Friant, surrounding and embracing the lake, and turns to the right away from the parking Jot adjacent to the dam, one is suddenly struck by an almost unbelievable sight. There nestled out on Mariners Point, surrounded on three sides by the waters of the lake, is a building obviously out of the past and yet obviously newly placed there. To those knowledgeable in the history of Fresno County, here, rising like a mirage out ot the lake but still strikingly real, sits Fresno County's first courthouse. Here, recreated as if by a magician's wand, is a building whose original birth, it's death and recent resurrection has involved as much drama, pathos and pain as did the recent demise of its suc cessor, the old courthouse here in Fresno. When Fresno County was formed in 1856 it had, of course, no public buildings let alone a courthouse. For more than ten years the court and other county offices were housed in rented quarters scattered about the little village of Millerton. The need for an official home for the county was recognized and talked about but with such a sparse population as the county then had and so small an assessed value from which to derive taxes, there was simply not enough money (Continlled on Next Page) Land Bank Loan -Completely Farmer Owned- The number one farm loan in the • No PayoH Penalty nation's number one agricultural • No Loan Fees county serving full time and part • No Appraisal Fees time farmen and ranchen. LAND BANK ASSOCIATION OF FRESNO Phone 237'()969 534 West Olive PhOoi1e 237'()960 141 available to the fledgling county to afford a court house, and its credit was no better. After several attempts to buy a suitable building for county purposes failed, the Board of Supervisors in February, 1863, purchased a site for $750.00 and in April accepted a set of plans for a courthouse. The site of Millerton was unsurveyed government property and although the county supposedly ac quired title to the site it purchased, actually the buy ers had nothing but squatters rights and the county never did acquire a good legal title. The Board advertised for construction in the Mari posa Free Press and later in the San Francisco Week ly Bulletin and Weekly Sonora Union-Democrat, but there were no takers, and the building plans for the time being were dropped. In February, 1866, advertisements were again run in the Mariposa Free Press and the Visalia Times and this time Charles S. Peck of Mariposa came forth with new plans which he proposed for a court house and the Board accepted them. In May the su pervisors again invited bids for construction and bonds in the sum of $20,000.00 at lOro interest were authorized to meet construction cOSts. This time there were three bidders and the bid of Charles P. Converse in the sum of $17,008.25 was the lowest bid and he was awarded the contract. Converse had previously acquired timber rights in the Sierras and had engaged in logging the redwoods in what we still know as Converse Basin. As happens even today, the best made plans usu ally require some changes, and changes in the court house construction plans were authorized which add ed $1,600.00 to the contract price even before con struction began. The winter of 1866 saw building actually start. The brick was burned on the ground and granite quarried nearby. The new courthouse was finished in the summer of 1867 and again, as happens sometimes, even today, the contractor made a claim for additional money over the contract price. He claimed a total of $7,599.00 additional for var ious items, $2,000.00 being for claimed depreciation of county bonds and interest payments on money he had been required to borrow. The latter was to finance construction because of nonpayment of coun ty warrants by reason of the fact, that the treasurer had absconded with the county funds. The treasurer had last been seen in Millerton boarding a stage for Hornitos, accompanied by none other than Charles Converse, the contractor! The $2,000.00 claim was disallowed but the supervisors did think that some 142 P & N LIQUORS Pete Piombino and Nancy Sturica Delicatessen -Complete Wine -Beer -Liquors 2618 E.

The county officials did not begrudge Converse his money. He had indeed given them a courthouse of which they were truly proud. Its appearance, sta bility and the fortress-like quality of the jail portion with its great granite slabs and heavy iron doors made it second to none then in the state. Converse had taken pride in giving the county a solid, durable and attractive seat of government. At last the county officers and the COurt had an official home and no longer was it necessary for the sheriff to take his prisoners to the Mariposa jail for safekeeping. Soon after the new courthouse had been completed and occupied, an election was held for county of ficers. J. Scott Ashman, the incumbent sheriff, was challenged by James Walker. It was a hot race with strong partisan feeling on both sides. Converse was active in Walker's campaign, and it seemed that the race would be very close.

" and being counted in the courthouse, Converse began nervously pacing back and forth in front of a saloon next door. Suddenly someone from the direction of the saloon hurled a rock at him, almost hitting him in the head. Converse, nervous and keyed up by the excitement of the election, drew his pistol and fired toward the saloon. As he did so, William Crowe ran up behind him and struck him on the head with a club. Converse fell to his knees but as he did so he fired several more shots, one of which struck Crowe. Converse was forced onto the courthouse steps and subdued while Crowe was carried away by friends. Crowe soon died of his wound and Converse was lodged in jail -the first occupant of the sturdy escape-proof jail which he himself had taken such pride in building. The grand jury refused to indict him, holding that the killing was justified self de fense and Converse was released. That same winter the courthouse narrowly escaped destruction when most of the town of Millerton was wiped out by a great flood which descended upon it Christmas Eve. Even though the courthouse stood on ground somewhat higher than most of the town the rushing waters of the San Joaquin River rose to the window casements but the sturdy building stood. The courthouse was not only used for official county purposes but was the center of community activity.

The Odd Fellows Lodge met here on Monday nights and the Independent Order of Good Templars on Saturd'ay evenings. Religious services were conducted here on the fourth sabbath of each month. And so the first Fresno County Court house was to serve the county and the good people of Millerton for seven years . In 1874 the co~nty seat was moved to Fresno and within a few months all the professional people, th e businessmen, and most of the residents of Millerton had moved ro the new upstart railroad town out on the desert floor, most of them taking their buildings with them. Soon the courthouse that had been the pride and heart of the county and the center of com munity life in Millerton stood abandoned and alone. Aside from an occasional rendezvous for drunken orgies, it was given over as a habitat for owls, bats, racoons and other shelter seeking wildlife. Vandals and souvenir hunters defaced it and tore at its great foundation seeking a valuable cornerstone which never existed and otherwise contribured to a state of great dilapidation. The land on which it stood, being government land in the first place, was later home steaded by Judge Charles A. Hart, who also acquired the nearby government buildings of old Fort Miller. For many years he was the lone resident of the Fort and the once prosperous Millerton and the owner of the old courthouse. Later it came into the ownership of W . H. McKenzie and his heirs. Thus, the old courthouse srood in its loneliness and decay for more than half a century and a decade. As we entered the third decade of the twentieth century and plans for the construction of the long talked of Friant Dam as a part of the vast Central Valley Water Project drew near, attention was again (ContinNed on Next Page) MIKE'S PIZZERIA Specializing In Italian Food To Go 1316 W . Shields at West 229-2635 MIKE'S COCKTAIL LOUNGE Dining and Cocktails 1312 W. Shields at West 229-4648 145 focused on the old courthouse so sturdily built that it was stiil standing. It became apparent that this relic of the early days would, within a short time, be covered by the waters to be impounded behind the dam unless something was done. In February, 1934, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution urging its preservation with members M. S. McMurtry, N. P. Gonser, and W. A. Collins in favor of moving it to Fresno and reconstructing it near the Fresno courthouse. In March of 1935, Congressman B. W. Gearhart stated that he had assurance from the Bureau of Reclamation that federal funds could be made available for preservation of the building and its reconstruction on a suitable site. With the passage of time these assurances seemed to evaporate. In December, 1935, the Board of Supervisors at the reguest of Ben R. Walker, President of the Fresno CO:lnty Historical Society, offered to provide a site but the offer carried no money. The years passed, construction on the dam pro ceeded but interest in the old courthouse seemed to lag. Then as 1941 commenced, we were told that the dam, though far from complete, would be impound ing the waters of the San Joaguin so that in Novem ber the site of the courthouse would be inundated and it would then forever lie far beneath the waters of Millerton Lake. As the deadline approached there seemed to be a freshening sense of pride in the old building and widespread interest in its rescue seemed to arise. In July a mass meeting was called to "save the court house" with members of the Native Sons of the Golden West spearheading the movement. Arthur H. Drew was made chairman of a citizens committee and, ail hope of public funds for the purpose having vanished, a private subscription campaign was launched. It was then estimated that it would take $4,250.00 just to dismantle and remove the building from the lake bed with the cost of reconstruction being left to a later time. The campaign for funds went slowly at first and then in August, 1941, Walter Hines of Sun Maid was made chairman of a committee for funds and Drew announced that all legal complications had been cleared up and now it was just a guestion of money. Soon the money began coming in. In addition to Drew and Hines some of those who worked hard est in the cause were Mayor Z. S. Leymel, Sheriff George J. Overholt, Ben R.

Many schools sent in a flood of nickels, dimes and guarters contributed by their students. Finally the committee was given the absolute dead line of October 31st and all the necessary money was still not in sight. Harry H. Holland, a Bakersfield contractor whose hobby was saving historical build ings, was found and he said that he would do the job for $3,000.00. The committee could see this goal in sight and awarded him a contract. He went to work and there was a mad rush to beat the rising waters. The wooden portion of the building was rotten and the bricks crumbled, but soon the granite all marked so that it could be replaced in exactly the same way, the steel and other salvageable items were out of the lake bed and safely stored on gov ernment property on a hillside above Friant. With that magnificent community effort the com mircee seemed to have expended all its energy and resources. The war came on and attention was given to more important matters. The skeletal bones of the old courthouse were to lie there untouched, bleach ing in the sun for another guarter century. 1956 was Fresno County's centennial year and early in 1955 the Board of Supervisors determined that the one hundredth anniversary of the creation of the County of Fresno should be celebrated in grand style. It appointed a committee of citizens from all parts of the county to plan and prepare for the occasion. The committee at its first meeting appoint ed the writer of this article as its general chairman. It early determined that one of its endeavors would be the restoration of the old Millerton Courthouse. I appointed Willis Ball of Friant chairman of a "Mil lerton Courthouse Reconstruction" committee and J. new generation took up the battle where the older one had left off. James Oakes, a Fresno architect, volunteered his services and went to work on plans and specifications working primarily from old pic rures and other data available. It was estimated that building costs would run about $40,000.00. This was more than anticipated and gave rise to proposals by some to abandon the project.

There were those who said the cost would not justify restoration and that even if it was financially feasible, maintenance would be expensive and it would have no utilitarian value. A proposal was advanced to take the stored granite and erect a monument with a plague thereon telling the story of old Millerton and the courthouse. Ball stated, however, that he had not accepted the chairmanship of the committee to preside at the funeral for the old courthouse or to raise a gravestone to it. The committee backed him up and decided to make the try for reconstruction money. As 1956 opened and the centennial year gOt under way the drive for funds was launched. Money came in very slowly and it soon became obvious that there could be no construction that year. Billie Hartley of the AuditOr's Office served as treasurer for the com mittee and carefully recorded the names and amount contributed by all contributOrs. All amounts received were in small sums and again school children sent in their nickels and dimes for the cause. At the year's end as the centennial was wrapped up and put aside, only a little over $12 ,000.00 had been collected, far (Continued on N ext Page) PHILCO BENDIX COIN OPERATED LAUNDERETTES TWO WEST SIDE LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU EVERY DAY 704 FRESNO STREET 20 Washers and 6 Dryers 2240 S.

The committee determined not to return the donations as yet but designated Willis Ball, Billie Hartley, Emory Ratcliffe and Robert Wash as trustees and the funds were deposited with the Fresno Guarantee Savings and Loan Association at interest in the hope that some future occcurrence might still enable our goal to be reached. The State of California, through the Division of Beaches and Parks, assumed responsibility for admin istration of the recreation facilities around Millerton Lake in November, 1957, and soon new allies were found. The state has had a policy for some years of restoring and preserving historical buildings. The State Park Commission meeting in Fresno was tOld of the past efforts ro preserve Fresno County's first courthouse as a memorial to our pioneers, and the fact that we had on hand more than $12,000.00 col lected by public subscription was largely instru mental in obtaining its pledge of support assistance. Now it appeared that a reconstructed building would not only have protection and maintenance and serve as a shrine, but also could be used as a museum which would greatly add to the interest and attrac tiveness of the recreation area. In 1960 William J. Reinhardt became Area Super visor and an ardent backer of the project. All data available, including the plans and specifications pre pared by Oakes, were turned over to the State. Sen ator Hugh M. Burns and Assemblyman Wallace D. Henderson obtained a $25,000.00 appropriation from the legislature. Bob Uhte, Senior Architect for the State, and Vern Haapala, architect, did a great amount of research into the histOry of and the con struction of the old building, insisting that any re construction be meticulously accurate historically. Ed Sheehy, Development Coordinator for the State, and Lloyd Lively, District 5 Superintendent, expended great efforts toward bringing the plan to fruition. Healey Tondel did splendid liaison work between State officials and local interested persons. However, with the new concept of a shrine plus a museum, modifications to comply with modern building codes, required utilities and other items insisted upon by the State together with general rises in COStS made COSt estimates go up and up. The legislature again, at the insistence of Burns and Henderson and later Bert DeLorro, made further appropriations until fi nally it appeared that enough State funds together with the local money held on deposit would be suf ficient to call for bids.

DINUBA AVENUE 5391 W. LINCOLN AVENUE FRESNO finally decided upon as the location. It was deter mined that reconstruction would be in at least tWO , and possibly three phases with the first phase being basic building reconstruction. Bids were opened March 28, 1963, but alas, all were far in excess of available funds. In a conference with Ball, Wash and others of the local committee the plans were altered somewhat by the State but historical accuracy as to essentials was preserved . Again the project was advertised and on September 21, 1965, the Winn Construction Com pany of Orinda was awarded the bid in the sum of $94,000.00 to reconstruct the historical two story Millerton Courthouse. The sum which the trustees of the reconstruction fund had placed on deposit at interest had now grown to $13,587 .1 2, and interest ingly enough, though small in comparison to the total cost, it was this sum which was now turned over to the State that made the award of the bid possible. • NEW • All SIZES • ALL LENGTHS • FABRICATED PIPE • Mill PIPE • QUALITY AND SERVICE CENTRAL VALLEY PIPE CO. 99 Highway at Shaw Call us at 268-0933, Fresno 151 Construction soon commenced with Mike Brussa and Sons of Kingsburg as subcontractOrs for the stone and brick work with Arthur Bagan doing the art work and in charge of refitting the granite blocks. In March, 1966, the Board of Supervisors, at the State's request, appointed an advisory committee to represent the County in working with State officials as to details which might come up during construc tion and assist in making a final determination as to the nature of the museum. The committee so ap pointed consisted of Willis Ball, Chairman, Ed Gil strap, Lois Traber, June English, Healey Tondel, Richard Herboldsheimer, Oscar Noren and Wash. Work proceeded during 1966 JUSt one hundred years to the year from the time Converse was con structing the original building. The COntractors un der state supervision were extremely exact io repro ducing details. Brick like that used originally could not be obtained on the market and so Hans Sumpf made them by a special process so that in measure ment and appearance they were exact duplicates. In laying the brick photographs of the original building were enlarged and each brick placed exactly so as to reproduce the original appearance. The granite was fitted and laid so 3S to reproduce in detail the ori ginal appearance with every unevenness faithfully reproduced. The original steel was placed in its ori ginal location. The first phase was completed early in the fall of 1966. This included all exterior work and the lower floor with the upper floor not completed nor were the utilities. The building was accepted as to this phase on August 24, 1966, by a final inspection g'roup consisting of Ed Sheehy, Development Coordi natOr for the Division of Beaches and Parks, R . B. Chambers, District 8 Construction Superintendent, G. G. Crawlee, Senior Architect, R. V. Sukkestad, Project Analyst, and William J. Reinhardt, Area Su- Builders Concrete. Inc.

One day last September the advisory committee and tbe park service joined in an open house and a large turnout expressed extreme gratification that the re construction had been so expertly done. The second phase is funded and will soon be start ed. This will complete among other tbings the upper floor and necessary utilities. It is expected tbat this work will be completed before the year is out. This will lea'\,e final completion including mu seum fixtures, parking lot and landscaping to a later date. Due to the State's present financial condition and the necessity to economize it is not expected that finances for the third phase will be incfuded in tbis year's budget but we now know it will come. Many thousands of Fresno County residents, par ticularly the old timers, are indeed elated tbat sim ultaneously with tbeir sadness at the loss of the courthouse here in Fresno they can, on the shores of Millerton Lake, see resurrected the very first Fresno County Courthouse standing in all its majesty. At times obstacles seemed almost insurmountable but today, there it stands and our joy is tempered only by the thought that so many who over the decades held such high hopes and worked so mightily to accomplish this are no longer here to see the finished work. To them too, and their perserverance, it will stand as a lasting tribute.

Taken somewhat by surprise at the formal ity of our first meeting, I offered him my hand in a friendly American handshake which the sergeant politely accepted. Thus, I was introduced to Kazu mitsu Naito, Sergeant of Police of the Yamanashi Police Headquarters, Kofu, Japan. Sgt. Naito came to Fresno in Ocrober 1966 at the invitation of Chief H. R. Morron of the Fresno Police Department. When Chief Morton was visiting Japan last summer, Naito made a special trip from Kofu, his home cown, co meet the Chief in Tokyo. There Naito discussed with Chief Morton his desire co re ceive police training in Fresno. After Chief Morton returned to Fresno, negotiation was started through the International Association of Chiefs of Police for Naito's visit CO Fresno. Kokan Yasuma, executive (Continued on Next Page) Building for a better Community Bonadelle Homes director of Inrernational Friendship House, whose headguarrers is in Kamakura, Japan, was instru mental in arranging Naito's visit. Wearing a smarr navy-blue winrer uniform com plete with Sam Brown belt, the 26 year old sergeant cut a trim figure. His service cap was adorned with an ornate gold star-insignia of the Japanese police. Metal buttons on his lapel indicated his rank. From his right shoulder slung a lanyard which was for his service sidearm -a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver. A night stick and a pair of handcuffs on his left belt completed his outfit. Upon being graduated from the Kofu High School at the age of IS, Naito joined the police departmenr in his home town and received a year's training at the Police College. NaitO said that he is one of the youngest men ro achieve the rank of sergeanr. He has been with the police departmenr for S years and plans ro make police work his career. Naito said that he was surprised ro find there was no college for law enforcemenr officers in Fresno. "In Japan," he said, "there is a police college in each police district. An applicant who has been accepted as a police officer is reguired by regulation ro attend a police college for one year before he goes on active dury. There he studies the Constitution of Japan, Penal Code, Criminal Prosecution Law, Police Law, Inrroduction to Law, Laws Governing Public Prose curor, Criminal Identification, Crime Report Writ ing, Handling of Minors, Crime Prevention, Judo, Japanese Fencing, and Arrest Technigues. While in police college he receives his salary; he pays no tui tion, and text books are furnished free. The studenr ~fficer may also live in the police dormirory rent free but he pays for his meals." As a police sergeanr, Naito earns $SO a month. "Although our policeman's salary may appear low by American standards," he said, "it compares favor· ably with the pay scale of other government workers in our counrry. In Japan, the policeman's salary is not determined by his rank but rather by his length of service in the deparrmenr," he explained. "We get pay raises every year, and there are many patrol men who draw more pay than I do because they have been with the departmenr longer. Every police man gets a bonus twice a year. In June he gets a bonus eguivalenr to 1Y2 months pay and in Decem ber he gets another equivalent to 2Y2 months pay." He added that there are many fringe benefits the policemen enjoy, such as medical and hospital care paid for by the department. The policemen's fam 154 THE BRIG Fine Food & Cocktails 4743 N.

Naito gets a complete uniform every three years. Accesso ries such as shirts, ties, shoes, gloves, etc., are fur nished more frequently. According to NaitO, the Japanese policemen com mand respect n9,t only from citizens, but also from each other. When a police officer meets another, sa lutes are exchanged. "In our department we have an assembly twice a month. At these assemblies the Chief of Police gives a brief talk on current topic of interest to the police men. Then we line up for review at which time our equipment, as well as, our uniforms are inspected," N aito explained. "At special assemblies recognition is given to police officers who have performed out standing service; they are commended in the presence of fellow-officers." I stated, "I notice th at you don't wear a badge, Sgt. N aito." "Police officers in my country do not wear badg es," he said.

I saw that in addition [0 his photograph, name, rank, and physical description identifying him as a police of ficer, all police equipment issued [0 him was record ed in this book. Pages were provided to insert cer tificates of qualification that a policeman might re ceive upon satisfactOry completion of his in-service training. I noticed that Naito had certificates for life saving, first aid, firearm training and marksman ship, judo, and general proficiency in police work. A short length of black cord secured this identifica tion to his pocket. I asked him why this was neces sary, and he said that this was part of police regula [ton. "If the identification book should ever be lost or misplaced," Nai[O explained, "the officer must go through official red tape [0 get another issued to him." Nai[O also carried a police whistle attached [0 his uniform by a metal chain. I noticed that nearly every piece of equipment he carried was attached [0 his uniform in one way or anOther. We could learn a few things from them, I thought. From the right pocket of his trousers, Nai[O pro duced a neatly coiled cord about the size of a Vene tian blind cord. Graspying one end of this cord and holding the coil in his hand he said, "Watch this." With a quick motion of his wrist he stretched in front of him a length of cord about 20 feet long. "This is one bit of equipment which gets lots of use." He demonstrated how the cord could be used [0 "rope off" crime scenes. By tying the cords of several officers' end to end the cord can be made to any length. "In Japan we have many ditches and canals and frequently we use this cord as an emergency life line for rescue work," Naito explained. He also demon strated how a crude but serviceable stretcher could be improvised by criss-crossing the cord between tWO poles. "Of course," he added with a chuckle, "this cord can also be used to tie prisoners where restraint is necessary, although this is seldom done nowadays because we use handcuffs." He pointed out that each cord is identified by the officer's service number. "A small piece of cloth bearing the officer's number is spliced into one end," he explained. "If the cords of several officers are used at a crime scene they sometimes get mixed up. Then the number provides the means of tracing it to the officer. There have THE VAN DYKE NEWS CO.

He then raid of a case where several persons were transported to jail, each bound with a separate cord. The trans· portation officer had failed to note the name of the arresting officer. But at the jail it was possible ra asn:rtain the names of the officers arresting the in· dividual through the number on the ends of the core\. I noticed that Sgr. N aito did not carry extra am· munition, which • aroused my curiosity. "Normally, all the ammunition that we carry is that loaded in the service revolver," he explained. "However," he added, "extra cartridges are issued to us when we participate in special duty, or in such activities as riot control where the use of firearms is anticipated." The sergeant said that a policeman in his country rarely if ever needs to draw his gun, and that to his knowledge he has never known one who did. He attributes this to the national trait of respeCt for law enforcement officers. "It is rare that a person will so much as lay a hand on the officer," Naito said. Judo tactics and the "keibo" (night stick) are perhaps the Japanese policemen's best weapons, ac cording to Naito. One day he found time from his busy sc hedule to demonstrate the use of the "keibo" at a field training class conducted for Sheriff's De partment personnel. There he showed us the various ways in which the "keibo" could be used. With the assistance of Sheriff's Sergeant Herman Saghatelian, Naito demonstrated a few basic tactics. Naito holds a fourth degree bl ack belt in judo. Watching him perform was a trear. His lightning movements and balance and the way he used "the other guy's" strength to his advantage was amazing. Some of the tactics that he demonstrated were new to us but ap' peared very effeCtive. "In our self·defense training, emphasis is placed upon the use of night stick," Naito explained. "We have fo.und that a combination of judo holds and the use of the night stick serves our purpose in subduing a person. To keep our legs springy, kendo or Jap anese style fencing is part of our training. Police men in our country are reguired to train constantly, and because of this reguirement our work schedule is set up accordingly." The crime rate in Japan is on the upward trend, especially in the 'larger cities such as Tokyo and Osaka. Traffic control poses one of the biggest prob lems in the larger cities raday. Naito said that the issuing of motor vehicle driver's license is one of the ENTERPRISES (Col/tilll/ed 01/ Next Page) 157 . l 1 functions of the police department. A special drivers training course is built through which an applicant for a driver's license is required to maneuver his car. Not only that, he must know how to make minor repair to his car before he can get a license. Back home, Sgt. Naito works in communication and consequently he was interested in every phase of radio communication and installation. "In our police department in Kofu, we have a press room for news paper reporters," Naito said, "but unlike the press room you have here, the reporters virtually "live" there. It is manned 24 hours a day and the reporters work in shifts. They even have cots and portable cooking stoves to prepare simple meals. No news is monitored at the newspaper office, therefore, any news that the reporters obtain muSt be obtained at the police department." While in Fresno the Sergeant spent mOSt of his time with the Fresno Police Department. But during his busy schedule he found time to visit other law enforcement agencies within the County as well as some of the prisons. He also visited the local col leges. After making many friends in and around Fresno, Sgt. Naito left for Japan in December, saying that he is looking forward to the opportunity to lecture at the various police departments in his country on law enforcement procedures he had learned while visiting Fresno. "Some day," he said, "I hope to re turn to your wonderful community to renew ac quaintances with all of you ." TRUCK DISPATCH SERVICE Truck Brokers 3535 S.

The advantages in using a check book rather than carrying large amounts of easily lost cash and in obtaining a readily available receipt for goods pur chased is guickly apparent for the customer. Unfor tunately "bad guys," as in many other business acti vities, guickly develop methods and techniques of turning the use of checks to their own advantage to falsely obtain money and goods at the expense of trusting store-owners and employees. The passing of "insufficient fund" checks, "no accounts" checks and outright forgeries has reached astronomical proportions in today's business world and has resulted in many businesses "going under."

Fern Ave., Fresno 237-8659 (1 Blk. No. of Olive -Oppos. Tower P.O.) By ARTHUR J. K. DEPEW Caryl Chessman, more commonly known as the "Red Light Bandit," was executed at the San Quen tin Prison on May 2, 1960. His death marked the termination of one of the most sensational crime stories ever told. I was an official eye witness at Chessman's execution, and therefore have particular interest in his story. I would like to share with the reader, some of my experiences and ideas concerning the person of Caryl Chessman. The oddity of Caryl Chessman was manifested in several respects. His crime career, like that of most criminals, began at an early age. Although his crimes were often violent in nature, he never killed a victim. His crimes were characteristic of that of a moral de generate, and were highly indicative of sexual de pravity. Yet, he often stole from his victims, after having assaulted them. He seemed to prey on society with impunity, at the same time flaunting the law in his depredations. Chessman was an individualist, a complete loner. Except for his wife, whom he had married at an early age, his associates were few. His relationships with friends were always shallow. His habits were regular and his aptitude and ability were above average. He had particular ability in the area of Arts and Crafts. He was an adept writer. In many respects, he was what one could call an average American male. Shortly after his marriage, Chessman found that he was in need of money. Apparently it did nOt occur to him to find a job and work for the money; instead 'I (Continued on Next Page) THE AUTHOR -Our guest writer, Me. Depew, has for many years been sincerely interested in the problems of law enforcement and has previously been a contributor to our magazine, In addition, he seems to have a talent for being present when the big crime story breaks. He is an honorary deputy sheriff of Fresno County, and is well known to our Association. 165 , , i , , I CARYL CHESSMAN This picture of the executed man was taken a short time before his death. Associat.ed Press he chose robbery, his first offense, and netted himself $15.00 to $20.00. Because the robbery was successful, he was encouraged to continue "making money" in this manner. Mrs. Chessman was never implicated in any of her husband's unlawful activities. Instead, she seemed to occupy an extremely obscure position in her husband's criminal history. This is extremely rare in that behind most crimes the investigator can find a woman having some connection with the per petrator. Many cases have been solved by interroga tion of this "woman behind the scene." Chessman held no belief in God, and made no attempt to hide this fact from his associates. He was anti-social, and held no respect for the law. He lived entirely by his wits and ingenuity until his last day. To some people, he was considered a man who had committed a crime and had paid his debt. To others, he was a SOrt of martyr who was being per secuted by the law. The sensationalism and notoriety attached to his case caused others to minimize the seriousness of his crimes, some even manifesting a glamour-type interest. These varied viewpoints made Chessman an unusual criminal; his story was one that could not be taken lightly. His identity as the "Red Light Bandit" was es tablished when he was captured in the Hollywood Hills. The nickname has been chosen because he had developed a system of flashing a red light upon the face of his robbery-rape victims. His victims, mostly women, were forced to get out of the car, and were then taken to a secluded area, usually thick with underbrush. He would then attack and rape her, 166 and finally, would steal her money and other valu ables. Police patrol was constantly maintained in the area of the hills, but because of the lack of light systems, along with the vastness of the mountains, effective patrolling was difficult to maintain. The mountain area is a favorite for scenic drives, picnics and other pleasant outings. For the romantically in clined, it had a special lure, and it was this lure that made the location especially suitable for Chess man's type of dime. Prospective victims were nearly always present, and the topography and fol iage pro vided excellent escape features. The exposure and identity of the prowling bandit became headline news everywhere. The police had finally captured a mystifying and elusive character that had caused them many months of intensive work and investigation. Many victims had been subjected to indescribable horror. One young female victim in particular, who was shamefully ravished by Chess man, remains to this day in a mental institution. Her prognosis is poor. Chessman's decade in prison was not idly spent. He began exploring the idea of delaying or escaping his death. He possessed a natural, though undevel oped talent for learning. He used this talent for studying and learning law, court procedure, etc. He developed his knowledge of law to the point where he could readily assist in his own defense. His ability at writing was manifested by publication of a book written while in prison. The book concerned a rather sordid look at prison life; he utilized typical prison jargon and paid special emphasis to the prison cell "atmosphere." Royalties from this book helped to finance Chessman's legal battle. It is interesting to note that the manuscript of his book had to be smug gled out of prison by Chessman's attorney in order to be published. Chessman continued to write, but his attorney was warned by the Warden that he would be denied admittance to the prison if he were caught smuggling any more manuscripts outside the walls. Chessman's execution became a matter of much speculation as time wore on, and people expressed many varied opinions as to whether or not th~ con vict would ever go to the gas chamber. On twO occa sions he had been placed in the Waiting Room near the gas chamber awaiting execution the following morning. Both times he was granted petitions for stay of execution. Condemned men are usually (Continued on Next Pa~e) ) ) ) ( I J J K ~ " p p, Sc Gi Rc Mi Sh Cc Cc CI. Dc) 00< F& KI. Lass Wol A-I Gl er Th.

It was on receipt of this second reprive that Chessman turned to writing in order to help finance his legal battle. Chessman had two very close allies in his fight for life. Both were female reporters, one affiliated with a large Los Angeles newspaper, the other with an equally large San Francisco newspaper. The women did much to keep the interest alive in behalf of the convict, as well as in keeping the public aware of the case and its ramifications. His close alliance with these tWO women was quite interesting, as he made a special request to the Warden at the time of his execution concerning them. After prolonged legal action, up to the highest tribunal of the land, a third date, May 2, 1960, was set for Chessman's execution. Governor Brown gave his reluctant compliance with the final sentence for execution. The Governor, when giving permission for the execution, stated "he hoped the execution would not be a Roman Holiday in character." This is exactly what the execution turned out to be. Im mediately the Governor's office in Sacramento began to receive many frantic telegrams and an avalanche of letters from sundry individuals and organizations asking for a further delay in the death sentence. These communications ranged from outright calls for clemency, to long dissertations concerning his many years of confinement, his efforts to rehabilitate himself, his struggle for self-education, and in many -cases, a direct disbelief in the matter of. his actually being the "Red Light Bandit." The newspapers played up every detail of the flood of correspondence on the subject, and it was their bonanza. The interest in Chessman's case reached its height when some well known movie stars from Hollywood visited the Governor's office personally, presenting pleas for clemency and stay of execution. One South American Republic even went so far as to pass a special bit of legislation on the subject, calling for a stay of execution. As a witness to the execution, my instructions called for me to be at the San Quentin Prison by 9 :00 a.m., May 2. On (hat date, while on Market Street, San Francisco, I was approached by a news carrier who wanted to place a bet with me that Chessman would not be executed. The public excite ment was fantastic. From San Francisco I went to San Rafael where I caught a special bus which was traveling specifically to San Quentin. We followed the private road that leads to the prison, some four miles in length, and very soon began to encounter throngs of people, also headed for the prison. It looked like a first day at a carnival show. Thousands of people were marching, resting, sleeping, and lining the roadside. Hot dog stands and sandwich booths, parked adjacent to the roadway, were doing a flourishing business. Balloon sellers hawked , their wares and everywhere excite ment and anticipation ran rampant. Highway Patrol men lined the entire route, keeping order and clear ing the way for buses and official cars.On numerous occasions my credentials were thoroughly checked. When I approached the iron admission gate, I was confronted by twO guards, who asked me to sign a register. My credentials, a letter signed by the warden, were again thoroughly checked. Excitement was growing as the execution time was drawing close. Speculation grew accordingly as to whether Chessman had been granted another stay, and the delay in calling forth the witnesses intensified the speculation. Finally the tenseness was broken when a guard carne from the prison and called out the members of the eye witness. Included in this aggregation were the two female reporters mentioned earlier. Chess man had requested of the warden that he allow the women to be witnesses to the execution: This request was undoubtedly due to Chessman's fondness of the women. The granting of this request was unusual, in that ordinarily no women are allowed to witness an execution. When we arrived at the waiting room, I approached the tWO women and asked them how they happened to be among us. They told me of Chessman's request. I asked, "Do you ladies think you would mind the ordeal we are about to face?" One replied, "No, we're doing what was asked of us. " At the front of the recreational room guards lined us up in single file formation. We proceeded to the door where we signed another register. I asked the guard standing by the register how many were in the room a.~~ he replied, "about 20." The assemblage, consisting mainly of reporters, milled around talking in quiet voices, while keeping close vigil on the guards for clues as to when the execution would take place. After what seemed to be an unusually long time, a guard entered and whispered a message to the (Continued on Next Page) 168 INDEX TO ADVERVISERS FRESNO Bob', Big Boy 131 0 Roy Fis.her Garden Specialty Shop 110 " A-l Auto Port, A-l DispOKJI Service A-l Insulation & Fence A-I Moot Jobbo" Inc , A & A liquors A & B Liquor ABC Music Service A & H Beer Gorden A & M Carpet & linoleum A & M Lumber Co.

The two women stayed close together during the entire walk, while the men looked at them, speculating and wondering the reason for their presence. I seemed to have been the only one who had asked them this question. After some talk between the guards, one of them called for silence and began briefing us on the rules regarding conduct while in the Gas Chamber. It was at this point that we all knew the execution was to go on. The guard said "no pictures, no smoking, no talking, and quietness must prevail at all times." We were then told to go outside and wait for further orders. Out in the sunlight, that had been shining fitfully between passing clouds, we waited and watched for our next move. This came rather sud denly when a guard came out quite suddenly and asked us to form four lines abreast of each other. As silence prevailed, we were inspected while in formation. Apparently everything was in ptoper or der. A command was given to march behind the guard; we were on our way to the gas chamber. Ahead of us we saw the non-admitted crowd watch ing us and taking pictures of our march to the death chamber ahead of us. We entered the Gas Chamber, first room first, fol lowed by the other three ranks which formed behind each other. The center of the Gas Chamber is occu pied by a glass cubicle containing twO metal chairs, termed chairs A and B. The cubicle is octagonal in construction with a heavy glass door opening on an angle on the left side to an inner aisle about thirty feet in length. Off the aisle and some twelve feet to the left, is located the Holding Room, where the condemned man is brought the night before the execution. Presently two guards emerged from this Holding Room leading, one on each side, Caryl Chessman. There was an audible intake of breath by most all in the Gas Chamber. This was the first look at the man who had been headline news for over a decade. Chessman was rather heavy set, clean shaven, with his black hair neatly combed straight back. He was healthy looking and was wearing a white shirt, open at the neck, with black pants and black shoes. He appeared calm and gave no overt indication of ner vousness. He was placed in Chair B, the closest chair to the spectators gaze. Quickly and efficiently he was strapped into the chair with large straps similar to cinches used on horse saddles. One strap was placed across his chest, one across his waistline, one over each hand, which had been placed palm down on 170 the metal arms of the chair. Finally, straps were placed around each ankle, binding the legs firmly against the legs of the chair. The guards then in spected their work, and before leaving the cubicle gave Chessman a pat on the back, as though they were giving him a parting farewell. Without looking back the two guards walked out of the glass cubicle, closed it securely, and proceeded down the aisle tOwards the guard seated at the end of the concourse. During all of the operations by the guards, who receive extra pay for their part in the execution, Caryl Chessman never paid a bit of attention to their movements around his body. In stead, he sat with his eyes centered upon the faces of the two women reporters standing beside me. This was to be the case through the remainder of the execution. Chessman was moving his lips, forming words by this movement, looking directly at the women re porcers. They appeared to read these words because at times they would nod their heads in response. Lines were attached to a conveyor holding the cya nide pellets behind Chessman's chair. Below the conveyor was a container to catch the pellets as they were dropped from the conveyor. Another line was attached to an instrument placed over Chessman's heart; this instrument registered the heart pulsations. The end of the line attached to it was in the hands of the doccor who sat in back of the Gas Chamber. Chessman's lip movement was soon interrupted by two spasms of his head. His head then dropped towards his chest, and we all knew the execution had been completed. The doctor then announced, after reading the instrument in his hand, that death had occurred within a period of about ten minutes. The usual time in e;<:ecutions runs between eight and eleven minutes. The outside door of the Gas Chamber was then opened and everyone quickly exited, for a breath of fresh air. The guards then tOld us to form the lines we were previously in and march back to the Recre ational Room. Here we were asked to sign the reg ister indicating that the execution had been com pleted, and that we had served as witnesses to it. We were then told we could leave the prison, or re main in order to speak to Warden Dickson. Most of the reporters in our group left hurriedly so that they could get word to their respective papers of the event they had just witnessed.

He stated that he had spoken with Chessman the night before the exe cution, and again immediately prior to it. These talks concerned disposal of Chessman's personal effects, and other personal matters. Chessman left with War den Dickson a lengthy composition relating to pri soners and Chessman's viewpoints about the death penalty. I was fortunate to receive a copy of this composition, and still possess it. I also spoke to the women reporters about Chessman's lip reading pan tomime. They said he was "thanking them and say ing goodbye in many words." We learned later that the slight delay in the exe cution was due to the fact that the prison was wait ing for word from Sacramento. Word did come, with an odd twist, to-wit: A secretary at the Gover nor's office, in her haste to call the San Quentin Warden, dialed an incorrect prefix and by the time she had re-dialed and contacted the prison, the cya nide pellets were falling into the receptacle behind Chessman's chair. What the message contained is still unknown. Chessman's body was cremated and what became of the ashes remains a mystery. The Chessman case is certainly an epoch in Cali fornia crime history, one which I and many others shall never forget. My connection with the case gave to me special interest, and I personally feel that we will never have another case equal to it, as far as national and international publicity goes. To me, "two Chessmans" are inconceivable. INDEX TO ADVERTISERS Sham's Excavoting Co. Shasla Beverage Co. C. M. Show Contr.
