T IME SLIPS RAPIDLY BY, blending one season into the next, and before we
realize it, another year has passed. It is usually pleasant to review the
changes that have occurred during the year, but it is with a feeling of sadness
and irreplaceable loss that we note the deaths of fellow-officers. Each of these
men was special in his own way and each made a contribution to making life a
little better for all of us, so we feel that their loss will not only affect us-as
the loss of a part of ourselves-but also the public they served so well.
Harold L. Hurst passed away October 2, 1968 as a result of multiple injuries
incurred in the collision of his field car with a train. Harold was on duty at the
time of the accident, working in his assignment as a uni
formed field officer. He joined the Fresno Sheriff's Depart
ment on September 16, 1966, and has served as a bailiff
and jailer. He was on the promotional list for sergeant.
Harold was born in San Joaquin County in 1935 and attend
ed schools there. Prior to joining our Department, he served
three years as a Deputy with the San Joaquin County Sher
iff's Department. He was a big man, standing 6 feet, 6 inches
tall and weighing 260 pounds; and his ready wit and gentle
personality endeared him to all who knew him. He is sur
vived by his wife, Janet, daughters Teresa and Eleanor, his mother, Nina Schaad,
and two brothers and two sisters.
John Camino was 56 years old when he was stricken by a fatal heart attack at his
home in Del Rey, October 26,1968. John had grown up in the Del Rey area, attend
ing schools there, and had served as a Constable in the
ParlierJudicial District for four years prior to jOining the
Sheriff's Department on May 1, 1951. With the Sheriff's
Department, he had served as jailer and field officer and
was assigned to the Warrant and Fugitive Division at the
time of his death.
John was highly regarded, both as an officer and a person.
His quiet competence and kind, friendly disposition pro
claimed to anyone he came in contact with that he was at
peace with the world. He is survived by his wife, Hazel,
sons Dennis and Melvin, daughter Madeline Jensen, and two sisters and a
brother.
The death of John E. Stark surprised and stunned us. John succumbed to a
heart attack February 20, 1969 as he was checking out of Fresno Community
Hospital where he had undergone surgery. He had appeared
to make a normal recovery from the surgery and no one
expected him to have any further difficulty. John joined
the Sheriff's Department March 16, 1958 after working as
a carpenter in the building industry locally for several
years. He had served as a jailer and field officer, and was
assigned to the Detective Division at the time of his death
at the age of 37.
John was regarded as a tenacious and thorough worker
and had distinguished himself as a theft-and-burglary investi
gator. Hewas an avid outdoorsman and for several years had been a member of
the Sheriff's Search and Rescue unit. John was a large man (6 feet and 5 inches
and 260 pounds ), and his outgoing personality and interest in others drew people
to him like a magnet. He is survived by his wife Bernice, daughters Cynthia and
Karen and his mother, Mrs. John Stark, Sr., all of Fresno.

These are a few of the well-worn cliches
mouthed by irresponsible and/or ignorant
m mbers of the community to justify the ir
obsession with drugs. Unfortunately, this
attitude has influenced many high school and
Junior high school students, and the result
has been increasing drug problems among
teenagers. Because the greatest impact has
been in the medium and upper income famil
fes, centeringon the ea st side of the "tracks,"
fam ilies that heretofore we re never confront
ed with othe r than a little "boozing" on prom
ni ghts, found themselves totally unable to cope

involved until the police office rs knocked on
the door with a warrant.
Because of the rapid rise in drug involve
ment among students, many programs have
been initiated and a multitude of solutions
advanced by the knowledgeable and, unfortun
a tely, by those who know little hut see in this
movement an opportunity to gain publicity or
notoriety. There is no magic formula; no
surefire approach, no single program offer
ing any degree of immediate r elief for tho~e
familie s afflicted with this tragedy. It is
apparent, after acomprehensive study of the
problem, the causes and the medical-social
aspects , that the community must join togeth
er to combat the prohl m from many angles,
and to develop new approaches and tactics.
Those who influence acceptance of drugs
must be silenced, not by fist, but by spread
ing of the truth from qualified sources. Pro
viding factual information for parents and
school teachers in order that they may satis
factorilyanswer qu estions from the chilclren
is a n important part of any preventive pro

Stronger sentences for those adults Con
victedofdrugtraffic is an absolute necessity
if we are to enjoy any degree of success in
Our programs to discourage drug involve
ment.
Recognizing and eliminating the latent,
but potent, misunderstandings and antagon
isms within the family can attack some of the
basic causes of anti-social and unlawful
activity.
Parents must determine what sourse of
action they will follow if their own child
becomes involved, and learn the common
symptoms to enable them to act promptly
and intelligently in the best interests of the
youngster.
Discouraging associations with question
able types and denying permission to attend
performances or frequent establishments
that are obviously drug oriented is another
step in any meaningful prevention approach.
There are many more facets to the teen
age drug problem. Much remains to be done
before we can see a glimmer of hope. One
fact is crystal clear: unless and until there
is community action and support, the brightly
colored pills and the sweet-smelling odor of
marihuana will continue to threaten the moral
and physical welfare of our younger genera
tions and the very existence of our society.

EARCH AND RESCUE DIARY
By
Gene Hallam.
E ACH YEAR contributes something new
the Search and Rescue Team's diary. Just
no two missions are ever exactly alike,
does each season assume its own distinc
character. 1968 featured no searches of
the magnitude of the James Judson search of
1967. nor any as dramatic as that year's
search for Gary Frazier in Crown Basin.
However, it was a busy year, with its share
of tragedy, frustration, and heart-warming
happy endings.
For those who are interested in statistics,
the department's Search and Rescue Team
conducted about forty missions last year.
Among them were seventeen drownings, nine
searches for lost hunters, five for lost fish
ermen, two to evacuate injured fishermen,
eight searches for lost hikers or campers,
and two rescues of persons stranded on or at
the bottom of high cliffs. The forty missions
consumed 2800 man-hours by department

members, 250 man-hours by other agency
personnel, and 2300 man-hours by volunteers,
including both organized units and individuals.
The year opened with a multiple drowning
at Millerton Lake. On the afternoon of Satur
day, January 13th, twenty-four year-old Ron
nie Crance of Torrance took his mother, also
of Torrance, and Ray Barnett and Harriet
Rosenthalof Fresno, for a ride in a boat that
had been a Christmas present. About 4:40

story, found the overturned boat, and notified
the Sheriff's Department. HOCKETT-COWAN MUSIC CO.
A crew was sent immediately, and drag
ging operations conducted most of the night,
with two department boats and one state park
boat participating. The water depth ranged
from fifty to two-hundred feet, with the bottom
covered with tree stumps and brush, making
dragging extremely difficult.
Shortly after daybreak Sunday a crew of
park rangers located Mrs. Rosenthal's body,
washed ashore at the head of the cove. The
search for the bodies of the two men was
resumed, with Sgt. Stan Barnes, Deputies
Jerry Schmidt and Troy Whitlow, and volun
teers Don Nelson, Mel Manley, George Win
terburg and Doug Haig diving. However, the
water was too deep and too cold, and visibil
ity too poor at the bottom, for diving to be
effective. Draggingoperations were resumed
about mid-afternoon. Crews from the Sheriff's
Powerboat and Communications Squadrons
joined the search, and operations were con
tinued until dark. The same technique was
used Monday, and again Tuesday, but no trace
of the bodies was found. Late Tuesday after
noon it was decided to suspend operations till
later in the year, when the water level would
be lower.
Two extensive follow-up searches were
made during the summer, utilizing both div
ers and drags, but results were the same.
Late in the afternoon on the last day of the
search, a minister brought to the scene by
the family conducted a brief memorial serv
ice. The bodies have not been recovered, and
it is doubtful that they ever will be. Even in
the driest year the water will never be low
enough to permit an effective search in Sea
Scout Cove.
In the late spring and early summer we
had the usual number of overdue fishermen
and hikers from the campgrounds at Shaver
and Huntington Lakes. Most such cases were
handled by the respective resident deputies,
Frank Hoke and Kenny Hogue, and Constable
Jack Sturges and his deputy, Dick Smith, be
fore a search team could be organized and
dispatched. Kenn Davis, Special Agent for the
Southern California Edison Company at Big
Creek, and his crew ofvolunteers also assis
ted, particularly in the evacuation of an
injured fisherman from Big Creek below
Camp Sierra on May 5th.
We also had several other clrownings in
canals and lakes in the valley, including a
traffic-related incident at Tranquillity in
which five persons drowned after their car
ran into a canal, and a similar tragedy at

when the parked car they slept in while their
mother fished rolled down a slope into the
water.
On May 30th the team had an opportunity
to put to practical use some of the climbing
skills acquired in training sessions at Sequoia
National Park. Two Fresno youths, Charles
Bliss, Jr. and Mike Novak, had become
stranded at the bottom of the gorge through
which the Kings River's north fork flows
below Black Rock. They had gone into the
canyon the previous afternoon a considerable
distance upstream, and had moved down
stream looking for an easier route back to
the road. As inexperienced climbers often do,
they descended cliffs they couldn't climb
back up, and soon found themselves trapped.
Early next morning their families reported
them missing.
The search party arrived in the area
where they had entered the canyon about mid
morning. Searchingdownstream alongthe top
of the canyon walls, they soon heard faint yells
coming from the depths. Within minutes they
located the missing boys, but getting them out
of their predicament wasn't quite that easy.
Bill Young repelled down the vertical canyon
wall approximately 150 feet, to a ledge across
the river and about ten feet above them. From
there a rope was thrown across, they were
pulled to the ledge, and then they and Young
were hoisted back to the top by the remainder
of the party.
Millerton Lake again became the focal
pOint of operations in early July, when Lloyd
B erg of Fresno apparently suffered a heart
attack and fell from his sailboat while sailing
with his wife. The spot she pointed out as the
scene of the accident is about two-hundred
and-fifty yardS north of Pole Island, a short
distance above the dam, and in line with the
former river channel. It is thus one of the
deepest spots in the lake, never measuring
less than a hundred-fifty to two-hundred feet.
Stan Barnes, Chuck Piper, and Jim Ham
ilton tried to dive the following morning, sup
ported byJohnJordan, Harold Seyffert, Ernie
Lerma, Bob Cunningham, and Kelsey Smelzer
of the Sheriff's Communications Squadron,
and Chief Ranger Bill Reinhardt and several
of his men. However, the water was too deep
to allow them to dive either safely or effec
tively. Draggingoperations were substituted,
and continued for two days by Jordan, Seyf
fert, and Communications Squadron members
Bob Stites and Jim Blackmon. Diving was
attempted again the third day, with the. same

lack of results for the same reasons, and
draggingwas then resumed and continued for
two more days by Larry Hill and Ken Nicholas.
Finally, we had to admit nothingwas being
accomplished, and for the second time in one
season and at the same lake we suspended
operations with a body unfound. While we were
certain we had done everything that could be
done, we deeply regretted having to make the
decision.
During the summer we made two follow
up expeditions into the Rattlesnake Creek
area, sear ching for the body of James Jud
son, who was lost and presumed drowned in
the south fork of the SanJoaquin River in July
of 1967. The water level was extremely low,
in striking contrast to the torrent that had
raged through the canyon while the original
search had been in progress. The weather
was also ideal, instead of the almost daily
thunderstorms we'd encountered" in the two
week search of the previous year. But while
search conditions had greatly improved, the
results were the same. Barnes, Schmidt, and
Chuck Piper used several tanks ofair, packed
in at great difficulty on the backs of Joe
Bridges' cantankerous mules, diving in the
pools, potholes, and enormous, water-filled
caverns roofed by immense boulders. Young,
John Jordan, Russ McQuillen, Ken Hogue,
Ken Nicholas, and I probed with poles and
checked previously inundated holes and cav
erns in the now-dry portion of the river-bed.
Finally, although still certain the boy's body
lay not too far from us, we had to give up.
Only July 23rd we conducted our first
major search of the year for a lost person.
At 2:00 a.m. we were notified that Richard
Martin, the four-year-old son of TV newsman
Chet Martin, had strayed away from the fam
ily camp at Mystery Lake, east of Tamarack
Ridge, the previous afternoon. Mr. and Mrs.
Martin had searched till dark, then he had
driven out to Shaver to report the incident to

for Harry Rogers to search from Dinkey
Creek with his helicopter. After all these
arrangements had been made, John Stark, Al
Harker, and I left Fresno with the command
truck.
Shortly after they began searching, the
ground party found Richard's footprints, lead
ing generally northeast, the direction taken
by his father and older brothers when they'd
gone to fish another lake the day before. About
9:30 Holmes reported campers at one of the
Dinkey Lakes were evidently attempting to
attract his attention. He dropped a note telling
them of the object of his flight. They used
the roll of toilet paper in which the note was
dropped to spell out the letters "R M 0 K."
Hill and Hogue were nearby by that time,
and Andy directed them to the camp. They
learned the campers, the R. H. Wallin and H.
W. Yancey families, had heard the boy crying
the previous evening. 'They'd found him a few
yards from their camp, but he'd been too
tired and upset to tell them where he came
from. They'd fed him, put him to bed, and
watched over him through the night, and were
just getting ready to start a search for his
parents when Andy flew over.
Meanwhile, Rogers and Safford had land
ed at Mystery Lake, where Young had set up
field headquarters. Theypicked up Mrs. Mar
tin, took her to the other lake for a tearful
but joyful reunion with her son, then trans
ported both to Fresno, where Richard was
examined by a physician and found to be in
good condition.
Early in August four team members again
had a chance to use their newly-acquired
climbingskill. Two Visalia residents, twenty
two-year-old Tom Eckert and fifteen-year-old
Steve Cullen, became stranded between the
highway and the river near Yucca Point, where
the middle and south forks of the Kings River
converge. Young, Jordan, Kerns, and Nicho
las were dispatched to rescue them. Assisted
by Kings Canyon National Park rangers Andy
Gifford, John Lounsbury, Skip Hinchman, and
Dave Snodgrass, they descended to the ledge
where the youths were trapped, and helped
them climb to the road. The natural hazard
of the mission was increased by the fact the
granite in that particular area is very rotten,
making it difficult to find a solid place to step
or to anchor a safety line. In a brief ceremony
at headquarters a few days later, Sheriff
Willmirth officially commended the four men
for their courage and skill.

a situation we'd never run into before. Wil
liam Brockett of Santa Ana managed some
how to become lost and stranded on a rock
on the slope of Mt. Tom, not far below the
fire lookout tower. He started a fire to attract
attention, and it was soon spotted by Air
Squadron members Ken McNamara, Elmer
Tuschoff, Herb Kent, and Gordon Flaa. They
directed the ground party to the scene, but
by that time the Forest Service had called
in borate planes to smother the fire, which
had quickly gotten out of control. Bob Flynn
of the Forest Service, directing the operation
from a spotter plane, could see the victim
and two members of the ground party trying
to get him off the rock, but he couldn't see
the other two still enroute. He ordered the
borate dropped where it would keep the fire
away from the rescuers he could see and the
victim, and almost scored a direct hit on the
two he couldn't see. No harm was done, except
to their pride and appearance. The hright,
pink borate clashed terribly with Young's yel
low helmet.
The busiest weekend of the year was the
last in September. About eleven o'clock Sat
urday night J ames Williams of San Jose was
reported missing from his camp at Davis
Flat, between the Kings River and Delilah
Lookout. Young, Piper, Major, Hill, Johnson,
Shuman, McQuillen, and I, with Heitzman,
Dobson, Moore, and Crouch of the Jeep
Squadron, arrived in the area just before day
break. A ground search was begun as soon as
it was light enough, and arrangements were
made to have an airplane over the area at

At 8:45 a couple of hunters stopped at the ...
truck and reported seeing a boy answering The taWilliams' description on the road near Goat PeFSaddle, about three miles from our base camp.
Major and I drove to that area, and found the
boy walking toward Highway 180. Except for 2751 Sou Ifatigue, blistered feet, and scratches from
the thick brush, he was in good condition.
The searchpartywas recalled, but before
they could get backto camp we received word
c€oftwo hunters lost in the Wishon area. There
were two separate inCidents, one involving
KellyJohnson, who had last been seen Satur
day afternoon on Hoffman Mountain near the
CH,IWoodchuck Trail, and the other Benito Licon,
who was lost on the opposite side of the riv

arrived to reinforce the party. and two sep
arate searches were initiated. coordinated
from base camp set up across the road from
the Wishon Village store. Stock was obtained
from Jerry Miller's pack station. and Smith.
McQuillen. and Shuman began riding the area
where Licon had last been seen. assisted by
Heitzman, Dobson. Ripley. and Crouch in
road patrol. Hill and Johnson were sent. also
on horseback. to check the north slope of
Hoffman Mountain. while Young. Taylor. and
Moore checked the trails and jeep roads along
Rancheria Creek and the south slope.
About four o'clock that afternoon Johnson
walked into his camp. found a search had been
launched on his behalf. and wondered what all
the fuss was about. His companions brought
him to base camp. where he explained he'd
merely become confused, darkness overtook
him. and he'd sat down to wait for daylight.
then spent mostof the day walking out. taking
a route which made a complete circle of Hoff
man Mountain. He'd definitely been lost. but
he was a self-reliant young man who'd used
his head and managed to get himself out of
the predicament.
Benito Licon didn't fare quite as well.
Jerry Miller reported his dogs had barked
furiously for some time Saturday night. indi
cating a stranger had been in the vicinity of
the pack station. A set of footprints was found
showing someone had walked down the trail
toward the pack station from the area where
Licon had last been seen. detoured around it.
and continued on toward the river. Lee Mabrey
and Eldon Dill took advantage of a late after
noon break in the weather. and flew up and
down the gor e below the dam as long as light
permitted. But at dark no definite trace had
been found.
Monday morning the re-grouped team
began searching down the gorge. and along
both sides of the river toward Black Rock.
Arrangements were made for air support to
be furnished later in the morning. About 10:30
the Forest Service radioed they had located
Licon. and were enroute with him to our base
camp. Floyd Hammond ofthe Black Rock sta
tion arrived with him a little later. He told us
that late Saturday afternoon he'd begun look
ing for the main road which he knew ran
through Wishon Village. However, he was
apparently walking parallel to it. and contin
ued till he reached the river. He remembered
passing the pack station and arousing the
dogs, and he'd talked with a fisherman some
where near the river. but he didn't mention
being lost. for he thought the road was nearby
and that he'd soon find it.

The road was indeed nearby, but he walked
away from it, and started down the gorge. He
spent Saturday night near the mouth of what
must have been Teakettle Creek. Sunday
morning he climbed out of the canyon onto
Rodgers Ridge, ascended it, and from the top
spotted Black Rock Reservoir. He spent most
ofthe day Sunday working his way down to it,
crossed to the west side of the river, and
about 7: 15 spotted the Black Rock station. He
knocked on the door just as Hammond went
offduty, turned off the light, and prepared to
leave. Assuming whoever was present didn't
want to be disturbed, Licon walked down the
road about a half-mile, spent a cold, miser
able night in the open, and returned to the
cabin just as Hammond returned to duty Mon
day morning.
Two weeks later, r)n Wednesday, October
16th, we were back at Wishon again, on the
most extensive single search of the season.
Lee Lilley of McKinleyville had been hunting
with relatives hewas visiting in Kerman, and
had failed to show up for a planned meeting
at the car, parked on the logging road on the
east side of the river, about three miles from
the dam. He'd last been seen about 9:00 a.m.,
his companions missed him about 11:00, and
they searched until late afternoon before
notifying the department.
Dick Smith was asked to make a prelim
inary investigation, and Young, McQuillen,
Wood, and Jeep Squadron members Ripley
and Massenge were dispatched immediately.
Les Scheidt and D. C. Mills followed with the
truck, and base camp was established near
the spot where Lilley had last been seen. Ed
Lamb, Guthrie, Shuman, and Wiggs joined the
search party late that night, along with Don
Colbert and his bloodhounds.
Lilley's companions stated his physical
condition was such that he couldn't have trav
eled more than a few hundred yards; there
fore, they felt he'd suffered a heart attack
or serious injury, and lay somewhere not far
away. Small crews were sent out to try to cut
tracks on trails and natural routes several
miles away, but most ofthe crew concentrated
on an ever-widening circle around the spot
where he'd disappeared. The Air Squadron
conducted daily air searches and support
missions, and the Jeep Squadron handlecl
transportation and communications.Colbert's
bloodhounds failed to pick up a scent, but he
ti ed them to a truck bumper ancl stayed to
help with the search.
Dick McClurg and 1 arrived at base camp
about noon Friday. That eveningwe still hadn't
found a good clue. Saturday morning it was

decided to send a crew into the gorge, even
though the relatives still insisted Lee couldn't
have walked the several rough miles to the
bottom. McQuillen, Guthrie, and Colbert were
assigned to the difficult and potentially haz
ardous trip, while the remainder of the crew
continued a foot-by-foot search of the area
already covered several times.
Jack Heitzman picked up the trio on the
west bank of the gorge Saturday evening.
They'd found a set of footprints which looked
promising, afld wanted to return Sunday morn
ingto check further. Plans were made accord
ingly, a.nd it was decided to make an ·all-out
effort in all phases of the search. We realized
if we didn't find Lee alive that day, we'd
almost certainly be searching for a body.
Arrangements were made for forty inmates
from the Miramonte Conservation Camp; a
military helicopter was requested from Ham
ilton Air Force Base; and Don Safford
arranged for Harry Rogers to assist with his
craft until the military chopper arrived.
Rogers and Safford landed on the dam at
12:20 p.m. A few minutes later McQuillen
radioed his party had located our missing
hunter on the west side of the river, about
halfway between the mouth of Rancheria
Creek and Black Rock. Rogers and Safford
were sent to pick him up and take him to a
hospital, and all other operations were can
celled.
Lilley was in good condition, corisidering
his age (he was in his sixties >, and the situ
ation. He'd shot a squirrel for dinner Satur
day, and had a fire each night for warmth.
He hadn't expected anyone to be looking for
him, so hadn't thought about building a large
fire in a spot where it could be seen from the
top ofthe gorge. He'd seen the airplanes each
day, but didn't realize he was the object of
their search, and he hadn't beenparticularly
alarmed when the pilots had failed to acknowl

There was one more big weekend before
deer season closed. Late in the evening of
Saturday, November 2nd, Bill Young took a
crew into the Horse Corral Meadow area of
the Sequoia National Forest to look for Claude
Oldham, who'd been reported.lost since ten
o 'clock that morning. The first snowstorm
of the season complicated matters consider
ably, for both the victim and the searchers.
About mid-morning Sunday the search
party received word ofa second hunter, Larry
Phillips, lost in the same area. A couple of
hours later, John Jordan and his crew located
both subjects together. As it turned out, nei
ther had actually been lost. Phillips had
injured his ankle and darkness overtook him
before he could reach camp. Oldham had also
been caught by darkness and the storm, and,
hearing each other's shots, they'd gotten to

Oldham was helping Phillips hobble

A few years ago the end of deer season
would have meant the end of search and res

RETIREMENTS
During the year 1953, there were only a
small number of Sheriff's Department
employees. One of them was Martha Kleim,
affectionately known to all as "Marty."
Marty worked in the Communications
Division of the Sheriff's Department until
1968, and noted many changes in personnel
and improvements in eqUipment during her
employment here. When she retired, there
were 286 Fresno Sheriff's Department
employees.
A native of Fresno, Marty began her
employment as radio operatoronJune 1,1953.
In 1962, Marty won the Miss Fresno County
Employees' Queen title. She was an active
member of the Employees' Association, and
participated in many of their activities.
Upon her return to work in October, fol
lowing vacation, she made the annoucement
she was retiring (it is secretly believed that
her husband, "Richard" who works for the
Fresno Bee, was tired of cooking his own
breakfast. )
Talking with our Marty, we find she has

HOMICIDE
1968
By Sgt. Arthur 'fabler
THE YEAR 1968 promised to be a bad
year for the homicide detail when the season
was ushered in like the proverbial March lion
with six murders during the first five weeks
of the year. The fates had pity, however, and
allowed the detail to ease up sufficiently to
concentrate a large part of their time during
the year on a complicated case commonly
referred to in the office as the "Hathcock
Murder." This one investigation, starting on
31 January 1968 was not concluded until 26
December 1968, and during its course util
ized the services of more officers than any
previously handled.
For the homicide crew, the case started
at 12:20 a.m., 1 February 1968, when Captain
Saum, Commander of the Detective Division,
telephoned to report that a man had been found
shot to death at the side of Palm Avenue,
south of Herndon Avenue. Detectives Tabler
and Christensen drove to the scene where
they met with other officers and found the
clothed body of a man lying on the west side
of P alm Avenue approximately 43 inches from
the pavement. Examination revealed that the
subject had been shot approximately seven
times and that he wasstill warm to the .touch.

Between the body and the pavement were
tire tracks which indicated that a vehicle had
accelerated and sped south from the scene.
Lt. John Belton of the Sheriff's Crime
Laboratory took charge of the scene with
members of the Identification Bureau while
the investigators questioned witnesses in the
area. Aneighbor reported that he had arrived
home from a trip to the coast at approximate
ly 11:45 p.m., 31 January 1968, and as he got
out of his car he heard what sounded like six
or seven shots, but had heard no car or other
noise. Other witnesses merely reported find
ing the body lying along the roadway.
Examination of the contents ofthe victim's
wallet identified him as being Albert Samuel
Owens, 40 years of age, living at 402t North
Fruit Avenue, Fresno.
In the wallet, along with other papers,
was a petition for victim's release from Vac
aville State Prison and signed by a Donna Orr.
The officers secured all information avail
able at the scene and, after turning the scene
over to Lieutenant Belton, returned to the
Sheriff's Department to evaluate the infor
mation, check records and plan their next
move.
At approximately 2:30 a.m., 1 February
1968, a report was received that a car pos
sibly containing bloodstains had been found
burned on Valentine Avenue, south of West
McKinley. Examination of this car revealed
that, though the''blood" was apparently melt
ed red plastic from the automobile, the tires
matched the tracks found by Owens' body.
The vehicle, a 1962 Chrysler sedan, white in
color, was reported by Sacramento to be reg
istered to a Earl R. Simons of San Mateo,
California. It was obvious that the car had
'been "torched"-which supplied the investi
gators with a new dilemma. Burning a car to
destroy evidence is obvious but this does not
destroy the evidence of ownership and the
car had not been reported stolen.
Burdened with two acts, the officers began
the back-trackingof Owens. First contact was
with the owner of the property at 40zt N.
Fruit Avenue, who reported that Owens had
been released from prison about three months
prior to that time and after his release had
lived at the Fruit Avenue address with a Donna
Wisner. The owner stated that the couple had
broken up and Donna Wisner had moved to
the home of her mother at 1207 N. Effie.
Fresno, but it was unknown where Owens had
been staying.
At 4:05 a.m., 1 February 1968, Donna
Wisner was contacted at the Effie Street
address and reported that she had separated
from Owens because he would drink exces

sively and beat her. She stated that he had
been attempting to contact her but she had
been avoiding him and had not seen him since
30 January 1968. She further stated that he
owned a Studebaker a utomobile which was
parked at the home of a Barbara Curtis at
Fourth and Harvey in Fresno, and that a Bar
bara Simons who was staying with Curtis
owned a white Chrysler. Barbara Simons'
husband was supposed to be in the service.
Barbara Curtis was then contacted at her
home and told the officers that Mrs. Simons
and Owens had gone together but were having
trouble. Owens had been at her home but left
at approximately 9:00 a.m., 31 January and
that Barbara Simons had left with her Chrys
ler at about 10:45 p.m., 31 January-suppos
edly to go home. Curtis directed the officers
to the home of Barbara Simons' parents where
it was learned that she had te lephoned earlier
in the evening to say she would come home
-but she had not arrived.
At this point it was necessary to concen
trate all efforts in locating Barbara Simons
and so a general broadcast was put out for
her pick-up. Information was too sketchy to
conj ecture on the cause of Owens being killed
but while the investigators pondered the prob
lem and searched for more information, hop
ing Barbara Simons would give the answers,
Mrs. Enos Shaubach of O'neals, California,
was about to supply them with a more serious
complication. At appruximately 8:30 a.m.,
1 February 1968, she left her home in the
foothill area of Madera County to drive her
children to school. When she arrived at the
gate to her ranch property, she observed the
body of a young woman lying at the side of
the roadway, outside of her gate. Mrs. Shau
bach immediately notified the Madera Sher
iff's Department who, rememberingthe pick
-up order for Barbara Simons, notified the
Fresno Sheriff's Department of this new
development.
Investigators from Fresno were dis
patched and arrived at the Madera scene at
10:40 a.m., 1 February 1968, where Madera
Officers Jess West, William Helms and Tito
lVIalesani were contacted.
The victim, identified by a photo as being
Barbara Simons, was found lying fully clothed
on her back with her feet toward the Shaubach
gate on the east s ide of the roadway. She had
been shot seven times through the body and
neck. In both the Owens murder scene and at
the Simons murder scene empty cartridge
cases and bullets from a .45 caliber automat
ic were recovered from around and under
the bodies. At the Simons scene were also

obtained tire tracks which did not match those
found at the first scene or match tires found
on Simons' car. Both scenes were similar
and pointed to the same person as being
responsible. All evidence was turned over to
Lieutenant Belton for processing.
By 2:00 p.m., 1 February 1968, both
scenes had been checked, all possible evi
dence preserved and available information
evaluated. Naval authorities had verified that
Simons' husband was still on an aircraft car
rier in the Mediterranean, so the prime sus
pect was eliminated and nothing was in front
but the slow, tedious digging for any scrap of
information that might lead to solution of the
case. Because of the seriousness of the
crimes, additional officers were assigned by
Captain Saum in checking on the activities of
the victims prior to their deaths. Two names
immediately began to be mentioned in con
nection with Albert Owens: that of Bruce
Laverne Wisner and Weldon Lee Hathcock.
Donna Wisner, with whom Owens had split
up, was a former common-law wife of Bruce
Wisner. It was learned that during the early
evening of 31 January 1968, Bruce Wisner
was with Albert Owens at the Oasis Bar at
Kings Canyon and Cedar Avenues, and while
there they had fights with a Pug Van Zant and
a Hubert Lewis. Wisner 'reportedly "pistol
whipped" Hubert Lewis with a .45 caliber
automatic. Both Catherine and Weldon Hath
cock were reported to have been present at
the time.
Barbara Curtis then admitted that Bar
bara Simons had been present along with sev
eral other persons in her home at approxi
mately 10:00 p.m. on the night of the murders
when they received a phone call from Albert
Owens who was looking for Barbara Simons
to join a party he was at. During the telephone
conversation the people also talked with Wel
don Hathcock who was with Albert Owens.
Curtis reported that Barbara Simons then left
her home driving her Chrysler sedan.
Itwas then that the Presno Bee placed on
the streets the story of the crimes in the
manner of reporting that endears a paper to
the investigators-for the editors not only
published an account of the murders but also
listed the evidence the officers had located.
This dime-a-copy criminal-aid information
sE:rved no legitimate purpose in bringing to
the public the information they deserved, but
it did alert the suspects to what the officers
had found and so enable them to dispose of
any evidence still in their possession which
might tend to link them to the crime. It back
fired in this instance, however, when the sus
pects disposed of the evidence but kept the

Albeft Samuel 'Owens: Victim
newspaper (to be found later by the officers ),
and then denied knowledge of the murders
even though they had the paper.
On Friday, 2 February 1968, the first ink
ling of a break developed when a citizen re
ported receivingthe information from sourc
es close to Hathcock that Weldon Hathcock
had gotten into a fight with Albert Owens, dur
ing which Hathcock had knocked Owens down
with a .45 caliber automatic and stomped him.
The information indicated that both Bruce
Wisner and Weldon Hathcock took Owens out
and shot him. then shot Barbara Simons
because she was a witness. This information
was not sufficient to base any overt action
on but was of directional value to the investi
gation. Bruce Wisner was not well-known to
the department, but Weldon Hathcock was a
familiar name both in the Fresno area and
in other parts of California. Then on Satur
day, 3 February 1968. the opportunity the
officers sought developed. Joe Hamilton, an
associate of Hathcock's, through fear of his
own safety, turned himself in as an eyewit
ness to portions of the activities on the night
of the murders.
Joe Hamilton reported that he went to the
home of Bruce Wisner at 217 E. Pine Street,
Fresno, where he met Wisner, Cathy and Wel
don Hathcock along with Albert Owens. He
stated that later Barbara Simons arrived at
the house. Hamilton reported that the group
was drinking and that Owens was in a drunk
en, belligerent mood. Owens had called him
a name, because of which he had challenged
and fought Owens. After knocking Owens
down. Hamilton stopped fighting when Owens
said he had enough. Hamilton then stated that
Weldon Hathcock told him. "That's no way

to whip a man"-and struck Owens across
the head with a .45 caliber automatic. Weldon
Hathcock then jumped on Owens' face and
stomped him. Hamilton reported that Wisner
dragged Owens into the kitchen of the home.
declaring that he did not want blood on the
living room floor. whereupon both he and
Hathcock ordered Hamilton from the house.
Hamilton claimed that he thought Owens was
dead after being struck by Hathcock. The fol
lowing day Hamilton went to the Hathcock
home at 4884 North Diana where he found
Bruce Wisner and Weldon Hathcock asleep.
He stated that when they awoke they acted
strangely. which frightened him. so he used
the excuse of taking Hathcock's son to school
to get out of the house.
Acheck was made and it was determined
that both Weldon Hathcock and Bruce Wisner
were still at the Diana Street address. Infor
mation received on them during the investi
gation indicated that they owned two machine
guns in addition to other weapons which they
might have in their possession. With the
expectation that a fight might ensue at the
time of their arrest. a crew was assembled
1 in the Sheriff's Office and plans laid for the
arrest.
At approximately 1:00 a.m•• Sunday, 4
February 1968. the house at 4884 N. Diana
was surrounded. neighbors warned. and the
occupants ordered from the dwelling by both
a phone call and loudspeaker. Bruce Wisner
was the first to surrender followed by his
wife. Carolyn. and then the officers entered
the house to arrest Weldon Hathcock. Cathy
Hathcock. Paulette Calpito and Darlene South·
erland. The latter two women were known as
associates of the Hathcocks through the state.
Pi. search of the residence turned up, among
other items. a .38 caliber Diamondback Colt
revolver and a "green streak" final edition
of the Fresno Bee dated 1 February1968 giv
ing the story of the murders. All persons
arrested availed themselves of their Consti
tutional privileges by refusing to discuss the
case. ,
No cars were found at the Hathcock home
with tires matching tracks located at the
Madera County murder scene.
A search warrant was obtained for Bruce
Wisner's residence at 217 E. Pine. and dur
ing the ensuing search several empty cart
ridge cases and bullets from a .45 caliber
weapon were located along with a list of guns
giving their serial numbers that were owned
byWisner. Includedamongthis list was a .45
caliber semi-automatic Eagle Mark II 30-shot

On 6 February 1968, Robert Meyers, a
friend of Wisner's, was located and agreed
to lead officers to an area in Madera County
that had been used as a target range by Bruce
Wisner. This area was found to be on Road
211, three miles above the junction of Road
211 and Road 208. Additional bullets and cart
ridge cases from .45 caliber weapons were
recovered here by Lt. Belton. Comparison of
all bullets and cartridge cases by Lt. Belton
developed a rather roundabout tie-in between
the group and the crime. The murder weapon
in both cases was the same and had also been
fired at the target range. Evidence at the
range was also the same as had been fired in
Wisner's house, though from a different weap
on than the murder gun.
On 7 February 1968 Detective John Stark
was sent to Palm Springs, California, to
search a house supposedly owned by Weldon
Hathcock. While working with officers from
the Riverside County Sheriff's Department,
Stark secured identification of Weldon Hath
cock and Paulette Calpito as participating in
a kidnap, robbery and assault case under
investigation by that department, a case in
which Hathcock alledgedly struck the victim
with a machine gun.
Also, on 6 February 1968, Officer Harry
Arnett of the Fresno Police Department, who
lived near Wisner, reported that on the night
of the murder he arrived home between appox
imately 10:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. and heard
someone open the trunk of a light-colored car
in the yard of the Wisner home. He stated that
he then heard grunting and groaning as if a
heavy object were being loaded and the trunk
lid closed. Arnett listened for a moment and
then walked into his house where his wife
asked him what was happening and he told her
that they were loading a body in the trunk,
not realizing how true his statement was.
A recurring feeling among witnesses con
tacted during the investigation was a fear of
reprisal. Numerous reports were received
from other agencies indicating that the sus
pects had been connected with acts of violence
in jurisdictions of those agencies. The feeling
was not entirely without basis in view of one
witness who had been assisting the officers
and then appeared in court with a new bullet
wound-and testifying for the defense.
On 21 February 1968 the Madera Sheriff's
Department reported that a black leather
purse which had been identified from contents
as belonging to Barbara Simons was found
( e rm /inNed 01' N ext Page)
35
3075
with contents strewn along Highway 41, north
of the San Joaquin River in Madera County.
One citizen reported confidentially to the
officers that he had been told by members of
the Hathcock group that the weapon used in
the crimes was thrown from the car while
the suspects were enroute back to Fresno
after disposing of Simons. It was like hoping
to find the proverbial needle in a haystack to
expect to find a gun lying in the grass at an
unknown location along fifteen miles of road·
way without knowing whether the gun was
actually thrown or how far it may have gone.
Anything has to be tried once, however, so on
Sunday, 25 February 1968, 33 members of the
Sheriff's auxiliary squadrons, accompanied
by officers from the Sheriff's Department
and one from the Madera Sheriff's Depart-.
ment, under the direction of Captain Saum,
were transported to the Madera County scene
and the long walk home began. The search
was concluded at the bridge over the San Joa
quin River when Jerry Raber, of the Sheriff's
Communication Squadron, spotted the famil
iar outline of a silt-covered .45 caliber auto
matic in approximately 9 inches of water. The
gun was in good condition and subsequent tests
by Lt. Belton established that we had struck
paydirt and the murder weapon was found.
Records of the California State Bureau of
Criminal Identification and Investigation
revealed that the gun had been stolen in a
burglary in Hayward, California on 2 Decem
ber 1967. A teletype was sent to the Hayward
Police Department for any information they
might have on the gun and burglary. A tele
type was also sent to the Stratford, Connecti
cut, Police Department, requesting that they
check with the Eagle firearms company in
that city in an attempt to trace the Eagle car
bine Wisner had listed as his. An answer
from that department revealed that the car
bine in question had been sold to Traders
Sporting Goods of San Leandro, California.
The San Leandro Police then reported that
the store records indicated that the Eagle
carbine had been sold to a Ted Mason, 2956
GroveWay, Hayward. It was known that a Ted
Watson, living at 2956 Grove Way, Castro
Valley, California, was a close friend of
Bruce Wisner.
Sufficient information had been obtained
by March 5 and 6, 1968 so that at a prelim
inary hearing on the charge of murder both
Bruce Wisner and Weldon Hathcock were held
to answer on the charge. It was felt that there
was insufficient evidence to hold Cathy Hath
cock and she was released. No charges had
been filed on Carolyn Wisner, Darlene South
erland or Paulette Calpito and they had been

released shortly after their arrest.
On 20 March 1968 officers went to San
Leandro where the sale of the Eagle carbine
to Ted Watson was verified and Watson was
interviewed at his home. Watson at first
denied that Bruce Wisner had the carbine,
statingthat he had returned it to the Traders
company for repair and he produced a receipt
to verify this. When it was pointed out to Wat
son that the serial number of the carbine he
returned for repair was not the same as the
one ~e was beingquestioned about, he became
visibly agitated and declared that he was not
goingto become involved in a double murder.
He then produced papers showing that on 3
November 1967 both he and his wife had pur
chased Eagle carbines for Bruce Wisner who
picked them up and later reported selling one
to Weldon Hathcock. Watson also stated that
he had accompanied Wisner to the Madera tar
get range where they had fired the carbines.
A second teletype was sent to the Hayward
Police Department requesting information on
the .45 caliber automatic, and, by a stroke of
good fortune, the request was given to Detec
tive Ed Hill of that department to check. Ed
Hill is one of those officers willing to do a
little more to help another department, a vir
tual human dynamo of activity, he was a major
factor in successfully concluding the investi
gation. Detective Hill remembered the burg
lary in which the gun was taken and he recalled
that there was a juvenile in their juvenile
hall awaitingtransfer to the California youth
Authority who used to operate in the neigh
borhood of the burglary. Hill questioned the
boy and learned the names of the parties
involved in the burglary. Furtherwork by Hill
turned up one ofthe suspects, a Timothy Shan
non of Hayward, who admitted participating
in the burglary, receiving the gun as his part
of the loot and later selling it to a Sherman
McVay. McVay was the brother-in-law of
Bruce Wisner.
The officers, along with Deputy District
Attorney Oliver Wanger, made another trip
to Hayward to contact Shannon and McVay.
Shannon appeared to give a statement but r
McVay became hard to find. He was later
found in an intoxicated condition at his home,
completely unable to be questioned. The fol
lowing day, after his denial ofthe information,
McVay was arrested for conspiracy and as
an accessory and returned to Fresno. At the
County Jail on Friday, 12 April 1968, McVay
requested an interview with Bruce Wisner,
which was granted. On Saturday, 13 April
1968, McVay requested an interview with his
Wife, which was also granted; and then both

he and his wife gave statements to the Dis
trict Attorney and investigators that Bruce
Wisner had purchased the .45 caliber auto
matic from them and for Weldon Hathcock.
The finding of the murder weapon and,
through the efforts of Detective Ed Hill, the
tracing of it back through Wisner to Weldon
Hathcock, along with the slow accumulation
of other evidence proved too much for the
Hathcock-Wisner group. On 7 May 1968, on
the advice of their attorney, both Bruce Wis
ner and Cathy Hathcock gave statements to
the District Attorney admitting their partic
ipation in the murders and, in the case of
Bruce Wisner, naming Weldon Hathcock as
the "trigger man."
A "lie detector" or Polygraph examina
tion conducted on Bruce Wisner on 1 7 May
1968 verified the truthfulness of his state
ment.
Information obtained from the statements
indicated that both Cathy and Weldon Hathcock
were at their home the evening of 31 January
1968 when Bruce Wisner telephoned them
from the Oasis bar, stating that he was hav
ing some trouble and requesting Weldon Hath
cock to bring him a gun. Weldon Hathcock
attempted to get him to leave the bar and
sober up at their house but when Wisner
refused Weldon told him he would come to the
bar. Weldon Hathcock then got the .45 caliber
automatic and had Cathy Hathcock drive him
to the bar where they parked in the rear.
While Cathy carried the gun in her purse,
Weldon went in through the rear door. InSide,
Cathy gave the gun to Bruce Wisner who then
became involved in a fight. Weldon then took
the gun from him and gave it back to Cathy
who put it in the car. They then got Wisner
out ofthe bar and followed him while he rode
his motorcycle to The Rich Cow, another bar
on Kings Canyon.
Later, Bruce Wisner returned to the
Oasis, followed by Cathy and Weldon Hath
cock, and met Albert Owens. Bruce Wisner
asked the Hathcocks to give Owens a ride and
they followed him back to the Pine Street
address where the party continued. Later,
Joe Hamilton came over and, after a phone
call, Barbara Simons arrived. When Simons
arrived, she parked at the corner of Palm
and Pine and Cathy walked down to meet her
and guide herto the house while Weldon Hath
cock stood outside with the Eagle carbine to
provide protection.
The group continued to drink and Hamil
ton became involved in a fight with Owens,
after which Weldon Hathcock told Hamilton,
"That's no way to whip a man," and struck
Owens across the head with the .45 caliber

automatic, knocking him down and then stomp
ing him. Hamilton was then ordered to leave
and, while the two women cleaned up the blood
in the house, Bruce Wisner and Weldon Hath
cock took Owens, placed him in the trunk of
Simons' car, and drove him to the Palm A v
nue scene where Weldon Hathcock shot him.
The fact that Simons was unknown to the
group sealed her fate and when Hathcock and
Wisner returned to the house they told her
they wer~going to a cabin in the hills. With
Cathy driving the Hathcock Chevelle sedan,
they drove Simons to the Madera County scene
where Weldon Hathcock shot her.
The suspects then returned to Fresno and
burned Simons' automobile to conceal any
possible evidence. After verifying that the
Pine Street address was clean, they took their
clothes and other items to the Diana Street
address where they burned their clothes,
shoes, and other incriminating articles. Dur
ing the ride back to Fresno from Madera
County, the gun was thrown in the river and
Simons' purse was thrown along the roadway.
After their return, Cathy Hathcock tele
phoned her brother who picked up the Chev
elle and purchased new tires for it, burning
the ones that had been on it when Simons'
was murdered.
On the Friday following the murders,
Bruce Wisner gathered up his weapons and
delivered them to Ted Watson in Castro Val
ley and he and Carolyn Wisner left their chil
dren with Charles McVay.
-On 10 May 1968, Jimmy Clay, another
associate of Hathcock and a former husband
of Cathy Hathcock, requested a meeting with
DistrictAttorney Daly at Olive and the Free
way. At this meeting, Clay turned over to
Da ly a note Weldon Hathcock had smuggled
out of the jail. In it he directed that two wit
nesses be secured to testify that neither he
nor Cathy had beenpresent at the time of the
murders.
On 15 May 1968, Ted Watson was again
contacted at his home in Castro Valley and
turnedover to the officers two Eagle carbines
left in his safekeeping by Bruce Wisner. He
also gave a statement in which he reported
that at the time Wisner brought the guns he
told Watson about the murders.
Trial in the Superior Court of the County
of Fresno against Weldon Hathcock was com
menced 22 July 1968 on two counts of kidnap
ping and two counts of murder. On 7 August
1968, the trial was declared a mis-trial and
was re-set for a later date.
On 24 July 1968, Bruce Wisner pleaded
guilty to one count of murder and on 20 Sep

was declared guilty on all counts. After a
penalty trial, Hathcock was sentenced to
death on 26 December 1968.
Space prevents discussion of much of the
work done during the investigation by mem
bers of the uniformed field division. The
Sheriff's Crime Laboratory technicians, and
citizens and officers connected with other
agencies contributed tremendous effort. All
of this hard work and expense involved did
result in bringing to justice the two persons
responsible for these crimes. Because of the

AN INVOCATION
Invocation given by Rev. La wrence Farrell,
Catholic Chaplain for California state Prison
at Soledad, at a meeting of peace officers in
1968 in Carmel.
Oh Almighty and Eternal God, bless
if You can, the taxpayers who demand
good police protection, but who want
others to pay for it.
Bless those who demand law and
order, except the law and order that
interferes with their privileges and
whims.
Bless especially all Peace Officers,
women and men, who have the deter
mination and courage to enforce our
laws and who are safeguards ·against
lawlessness and anarchy. Save them,
oh Lord, from themselves and their
families and friends who are often
harder to bear than their enemies.
Give them, in a trying profession, a
a kind heart, a gentle tongue, and
Divine common sense and the dedi
cated selflessness that convinces
them there is no success apart from
service.
Forgive the cook and food, oh Lord,
and bless it all the same. We hope
You'll eat and drink with us and not
regret You came.
Amen.

it in a constructive and meaningful way. Such
is knowledgeable' 'applied police-community
relations."
We all, at times, forget that the pOlice
are an important part of, not apart from, the
communities they serve.
Recognizing that there exists a gap in
communication between the police and the
community, several services have been insti
tuted within the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department.
Speaker's Bureau -The department of
fers interested groups the opportunity to
meet with our officers and have them speak
on a wide variety of subjects, which include:
Bad Checks, Burglary, Crime Rate, Juv
enile Delinquency, Narcotics, Robbery,
Search & Rescue, and Administration.
Child Safety Program -The department
offers the schools of the county a program
that allows the child to meet with officers on
a close and personal basis. Topics are picked
by the officers and teachers that generate
interest to different age levels. Thousands
of children have been reached through this
program and the results have been gratifying.
Facility Tours -The department offers
interested groups the chance to witness first
hand the operation of the Jail and Industrial
Farm facilities.
Career Guidance Programs -Provides
interested students in the high school and col
lege levels the chance to observe law enforce
ment and to consider it as a profession.
Community Relations Officer -An offi
cer assigned to the Administration Division,
charged with the following duties:
To establish and maintain contact with
minority and other . community action
groups, providing an effective and direct
line of communication between these
organizations and law enforcement;
To permit department'partiCipation in
community matters affecti,\gthe relation
ship between law enforcement and the
people;
To represent the Sheriff at meetings
and forums concerning police-community
problems;
To make presentations before interest
ed and affected groups about the depart
ment, its functions and limitations;
To investigate charges and/or rumors
alleging misconduct in discharging offi
cial duties, and to present these facts to
those directly concerned; and
To generally function as an "Ombuds..
man" for the people in their relations
with county law enforcement in an effort

to create a more favorable climate with
in which we can meet our responsibilities
and to reduce tensions between police and
minorities resulting from irresponsible
or exaggerated rumors and versions of
police incidents.
Since the position of CommunitY Rel ations
Officer has been established, a great amount
of time has been spent just establishing a
line of communication with those that do not
believe law enforcement is interested in their
problems. It is gratifying to find that most
problems can be resolved if people will just
take the time to listen to the other side of the
story.
Our plans for the future depend on many
things, including how mneh money can be
spent on programs that will be of benefit to
all. Some of the services we hope to provide
in the near future include an Explorer Scout
Post (already in the recruiting stage), a
School Visitation Program that will allow
both teachers and children to meet with our
officers on a casual basis rather than an offi
cial basis, and a youth athletic league in
which deputies can take an active part in
working with youth.
Anyperson who has a question regarding
law enforcement in Fresno County should
feel free to contact Sheriff Willmirth or any
member of his staff, either in person, by let
ter or by telephone.
We welcome any inquiries and remind
you that a police-community relations pro
gram is at best a small contribution in
attempting to bridge the gap of misunder
standingthat exists between segments of our
SOCiety. The responsibility for a total bridg
ing of this gap rests with the entire commun
ity.

RECORDS AND IDENTIFICATION DIVISION
AS THE NAME of our publication indi
cates, each division of the Fresno County
Sheriff's Department recaps its major activ
ities of the past year. Although proud of its
achievements of the past year, members of
the Bureau of Identification and Records are
spending less time in retrospect and more in
thoughts of the future. This switch in format
has been brought about by the need for plan
ningthe occupancy of the new Sheriff's Admin
istration Building. This building is expected
to be completed the latter part of this year.
Members of the Fingerprint and M. O.
Section as well as members of the Record
Section are looking forward to moving into
our new building. Plans are being made to
modernize our complex filing systems.
Streamlining and consolidating certain files
into newer equipment will help speed up serv
ice to investigative units as well as the gen
eral public. Supervisory personnel are to be
congratulated for maintaining a high level of
morale and service under difficult and over
crowded conditions.
Despite numerous handicaps, the Warrant,

continues to do an excellent job. After many
years they will at long last have an office and
desks of their own. This will be a brand new
experience for them. During the past year,
certain procedures involving supplies, prop
erty and evidence were consolidated and
placed under a storekeeper and supervised
by a sergeant.
After having operatE;ld in what originally
was a small lobby of the Records Section,
the members of Technical Services are look
ing forward to the expanded office and labor
atory facilities of the new building. With
these expanded facilities and more modern
equipment, the section will be able to' provide
greater and more precise service to the
investigative arm ofthe Sheriff's Department.
During the past year, eight members of
the Technical Services Section completed an
accredited Criminalistics course at Fresno
State College. This course related to the
examination and identification of hairs, fibers
and body fluids. This section also added a
new member with eleven years of Clinical
Laboratory experience which has been a val

sumptive analysis, particularly in the field
of narcotic identification.
With the grant of an additional employee,
the Technical Services Section was able to
fully implement the 10-1 File. This file is a
system whereby latent fingerprints found at
the scene of a crime can be positively iden
tified even though the name of the suspect is
neither known or suspected. Theft and sex
offenders, in addition to the standard card,
are fingerprinted on a special card. These
cards are notched or coded to the pattern and
ridge count of each individual finger. The
latent prints obtained at a crime scene are
then Similarly coded and checked against the
master file. Although the system is operated

CIVIL DIVISION
TTIE P RIMARY P URPOSE of the Civil
Division is to receive, record, prepare and
execute a ll types nf processes, writs, notices,
orders, bench warrants, body attachments,
claim and delivery actions, subpoenas, and
many other types of documents sent to it by
the Courts, attorneys, and private citizens.
A civil case may be anything from a small
claims action to be served on a defendant to
an attachment or execution on a large busi
ness involving many thousands of dollars.
This division is unique in law enforce
ment in that it collects fees for its services.
The fees for the s ervice of various types of
civil actions are set by the California Gov
ernment Code and must be carefully adhered
to. All fees collected must be accounted for
and turned in to the General Fund of the
ounty Treasury. Another function of this
divIsion is to colI "t and account for all mon
ies collected by the Sheriff's Department

such as fees for gun permits, bail monies, etc.
This division works quietly and without
fanfare. Nevertheless, there is nothing easy
about the job. It requires a great deal of
knowledge about civil law, as well as the abil
ity to meet and work with people in a tactful,
understanding manner. It isn't always easy
to explain to an individual that his automobile
is being attached or that he is to be evicted
from his home. The fact that it accomplishes
itsworkwithaminimum of publicity and con
fusion is a tribute to the manner in which this
division performs its duties.

FRESNO COUNTY
JUDICIAL DISTRICTS
Fresno County consists offifteenJudicial
Districts as shown by the map above. All dis
tricts except the Fresno Municipal District
are served by a justice court, a Constable and
such deputies as are required. The Constables
and their deputies perform both criminal and
civil duties.
In these days of the forty-hour week, few
people realize that the Constables are on duty
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Their duties are as arduous as their hours
are long. Frequently they must work alone
with the nearest help many miles away.
They work closely with the Sheriff's
Department in those cases requiring joint
participation. In addition to the Constables,
there are thirteen incorporated cities with
their own Police Departments besides the
City of Fresno. They too work closely with
the Sheriff's Department and with the Con
stables.

THE SANGER J UDICIAL DISTRICT cov
ers a little better than 105 square miles and
includes the Pine Flat Dam and all of the
recreation area at the Pine Flat Lake, all
the way to Trimmer.
There are approximately 25,000 people
in the district and the Constable's Office,
along with the Sheriff's Office, provides the
law enforcement in the area.
From July of 1967 to June of 1968 the
total criminal cases handled by the Sanger
Justice Court were 3,301 as compared to less
than half that amount in 1965. The Sanger
Justice Court is handled by one Clerk, Gloria
Swan, and one Judge, James Walton; and the
Constable's Office acts as ba iliff forthe court
and does all the transporting of prisoners to
the county jail when they are sentenced by
the court.
The Constable and his deputy handle all
the civil activities that come into the area,
as well as the criminal-such a s warrants,

which take up to 20% to 30% of the total work
load.
The Constable and his deputy work hand
in-hand with the Sheriff's Office in almost all
of their cases. Whenever they have a crime
the Constable calls on the Sheriff to assist
in making an arrest or in recovering proper
ty, while the Constable and his deputy assist
the Sheriff in any rescue operation that is in
his district.
For example. in October of 1968 there
was a homicide on East Kings Canyon Road
in the Sanger Judicial District. Due to the fine
cooperation of the Sheriff's Office and the
Sanger Police Department. the suspect was
apprehended in a matter of minutes, and due
tothe technical staff from the Sheriff's Iden
tification Bureau. the evidence was pre
served. which is very important in a case
such as this.
The Constables and their deputies own
and maintain their own vehicles.
The Constable is responsible to all the
Ie in the district. including the city or
s which are in his district as they are
rs as well as resident in the district.

ONE OF THE WEST'S most audacious
stage robberies was committed a few miles
north of Fresno when a lone bandit held up
four stage coaches, a wood wagon, a freighter
and two U. S. Cavalrymen-all at the same
time.
This multiple holdup is not a legend from
early Gold Rush days, but a well~ocumented
incident on June 2, 1900. It occurred on what
was then the main road from the railroad in
Raymond to Yosemite Valley. The bandit
selected a particularly sandy stretch of road
which forced even the fastest teams to slow
down. His well-chosen site was about two
miles west of Grub Gulch, a faltering mining
town four miles west of Ahwahnee.
Reports of the robbery varied from the
first. Stories printed in later years varied
even more because of inaccurate memories,
confusion with other holdups, and the addition
of incidents, which mayor may not be true,
but which were not reported at the time. The
following account is based on the official fugi
tive notice sent out June 25, 1900, by W. B.
Thurman, Sheriff of Madera County; and
newspaper reports at the time. The latter
included a letter from the doctor traveling
with a troop of the 6th U. S. Cavalry that was
first to arrive at the scene of the crime.
Itwas 9:00 a.m. on a typically warm June
Saturday when a highwayman stepped from
behind a tree with his rifle leveled to greet

driver A. H. Foster and a party of stone-cut
ters from the Raymond quarries. Their week
end trip to the Mariposa Big Trees was des
tined to an abrupt and prolonged delay.
Sheriff Thurman's official notice was
only recently discovered in an old Sheriff's
album by Madera County Sheriff Marlin L.
Young. It undoubtedly gives the basic details
more accurately than any other single docu
ment. He wrote:
"On the morning of the 2nd of this month,
one private stage and three regular stages
from Raymond to Yosemite were held up
about two miles below Grub Gulch in Madera
County, by one man carrying a Winchester
rifle, his face masked with a blue bandana
handkerchief. and his hands blackened. The
private stage was held an hour and a half
awaiting the arrival of the regular stages.
The robber in the meantime joked with the
passengers and appeared perfectly at ease.
He gave the driver a slip of paper on which
had been printed with a lead pencil, 'The
Black Kid,' and said that they would probably
become better acquainted.
"In the intervals between the arrival of
r the stages two United States cavalrymen,
traveling in advance of their troop were halted
and disarmed, and a teamster held up. After
the robbery of the last stages a second team
ster drove up, was halted and the robber
demanded his lunch and an ax with which to
break open Wells, Fargo & Co.'s treasure

box, which he had obtained from the mail
stage.
"While engaged with this teamster, Troop
F, United States Cavalry, appeared on the
scene, and though he had taken everything as
it came up to this time, the robber evidently
concluded that a whole troop of United States
Cavalry were too many for him, so he threw
off his mask and took to the brush.
"The troopers were after him immedi
ately, but though they scoured the country and
searched the brush · faithfully for several
hours, he could not be found. They found near
the scene of the holdup a barley sack, evi
dently the property of the robber. containing
among other things a compass, pair of field
glasses and twenty-four stamp photos.
"The passengers' description of this man
vary conSiderably-his height being placed
anywhere from 5 feet. 8 inches to 5 feet, lot
inches, and his weight anywhere from 150 to
175 lbs. All agree, however, that he spoke
with the accent of a Swede or German, and
that his hair was a little lighter than medium
where it could be seen below his hat on the
back of his head. He was dressed in blue

"This robber obtained about $280 and
was also careful not to take anything that
could be identified.
"We have ascertained that the stamp
photos found in the sack were taken in Fresno
on May 21,1900, but the photographer did not
know the name ofthe man who had them taken.
The compass, field glasses and a 38-55 Win
chester rifle were purchased at a second-hand
store in Fresno on May 23. The clerk who
made the sale says that the stamp photos are
perfect likenesses of the purchaser, and that
?e thinks he gave his name as Weller, though
It may have been Willard or Mallard.
"The foregoing is a brief history of two
of the most daring crimes in the annals of
stage robbery in California." (In an opening
paragraph reference is made to a hold up of
two stages in Tuolumne County two weeks
before.) "It is not necessary to say that it
behooves every officer in this and adjoining
States to use every effort to catch this man.
He has the nerve to attempt anything, and is
li~ely to be heard from at any time and at any
place.

"Do not post."
NEWSPAPER STORIES
Such were the facts as outlined by Sheriff
Thurman. Reports in the newspapers gave a
more completepicture of the daring, comedy
and human drama involved in the protracted
crime and pursuit.
The Fresno Morning Republican carried
the first report of the crime the following
morning. Its principle error, and one which
it never corrected, was that five stages had
been held up. It added nothing to the above
except to point out, "The rush to the valley
has been so great of late that extra stages
had to be put onto accommodate the tourists."
The Republican IS next story on the inci
dent was an interview with A. H. Foster, driv
er of the first stage and operator of a hotel
in Raymond.
Fosterproudly displayed a scrap of white
paper, folded once, upon which had been
"printed in a school-boy fashion, THE BLACK
KID." "He handed me that card with the
remark, 'You will know me by this card,'"

Foster related, although he couldn't fully
explain the remark. He thought the bandit
unusually furtive as though he feared being
recognized.
The stone-cut.ters were well-equipped for
their hour-and-a-half wait as they had brought
beer for their holdiay. The bandit permitted
them to drink it, and as the morning got
warmer, he let them lie in the shade.
"I was going to ask him to join us," Fos
ter said, "but I thought he might think I was
getting too familiar on a short acquaintance."
Next to arrive was the wood wagon. Its
driver was relieved of his money, and told to
relax with the Foster group until the stages
arrived.
Two horsemen next galloped around the
bend in the road. They were troopers with
the Cavalry unit, who had been sent ahead to
arrange for provisions at Grub Gulch. They
were disarmed and their horses tied to Fos
ter's stage while they joined the wait for the
regular stages.
The first of the three tourists' stages
soon arrived and driver Bright Gillespie
pulled it to the side of the road as directed
by the lone bandit. The passengers were lined
up, a hat was passed and then placed on the
road for the Black Kid to pick up after they
had returned to their seats. The next stages,
which weren't following too closely because
of the dust, received the same reception and
followed the samedictated routine. The Black
Kid had a little trouble with the third load of
tourists as they were all Chinese. He and the
driver, Ernest St.evens, backed up by the
38-55 Winchester, finally overcame the lan
guage barrier and relieved them of their
money also.
Foster was most complimentary of the
manner in which the Black Kid handled the
whole affair. He said the Kid was very polite
and never used profanity except when a tourist

8th was a little slow in alighting from the stage.
He waved the gun at him and said, "It appears
to me that you are damn slow."
Fosterwas also reported as saying, pos
sibly with tongue-in-cheek, that many victims
felt, "In fact it was somewhat of a satisfac
tion to be robbed in a thoroughly modern and
scientific manner compared with the clumsy
methods of earlier days."
When the Black Kid completed his looting,
he told Foster to leave first since he had
arrivedfirst. Instead of permitting the troop
ers to remount their horses, he told them to
get into one ofthe regular stages and ordered
two of the tourists to mount the horses.
As Foster's stage pulled out, the two cav

riders. They bolted down the road towards
Raymond but had only gone about 300 yards
when they ran into the advanced unit of the
Cavalry, consisting of Major Rucker, his son,
a lieutenant and Dr. Pedlar.
The runaways were quickly stopped, but
one terrified tourist could only manage to
gasp out, "A bloody man with a gun!"
They sensed what must have happened and
the Major dispatched the lieutenant to bring
up the troop while he and the other two spurred
their horses to the scene of the crime.
They arrived in time to be ordered by the
Black Kid to stop but none of them saw or
heard him. He thought better of his challenge
and darted into the brush rather than repeat
it. The three, when told of this, dashed in hot
pursuit.
Dr. Pedlar, totally unarmed, was the only
one to encounter the bandit. He came face-to
face with him and later reported to General
Muller, "He was 60 yards off, coming my
way through dense brush. Between us most of
the ground was quite open. We met by chance,
saw each other at the same instant. He cov
ered me instantly, and his appearance as well
as his promptness I shall never forget. Bare
headed, his face blackened, a narrow uncol
ored ring around his eyes, his cloth mask
gone, he would have made a good Kodak pic
ture. He claimed the right to make the first
'snap shot' and I did not tarry to argue the
matter. Wheeling the horse (I suppose I did
it quickly), I hurriedly reported to the major
the whereabouts of the game."
The troops were only about 100 yards
away and within minutes they had been
deployed over the area where the doctor had
seen the Kid. The area was scoured for an
hour, then, leaving a lieutenant and six men
on the ground, the Cavalry moved onto Ahwah
nee. The detachment remained until peace
officers arrived about two o'clock in the aft
ernoon.
His hurried departure caused the Black
Kid to leave considerable gear behind. The
doctor reported, "Within 200 feet of the hold
up, we found his hat and mask and a few yards
further his personal 'baggage,' a sark con
taining a dark SWE;C:1.~b~, ~ vest, hat, cap,
socks, comb, cqmpass, field glass, soap,

a handkerchief exactly like the one used as
his mask and 24 stamp photos, evidently of
him, for the picture showed the hat and sweat
er found in the sack. He also carried a cloth
bandage (surgical) showing he was disposed
to consider possible danger to himself.
"We delivered the articles found to peace
officers the same afternoon-as soon as we
knew they were in existence. I notice a Chron
icle dispatch from Madera says we hampered
the sheriff by keeping the Kid's baggage. We
merely retained the sack a few hours for
safekeeping. The same item says the Major
and I were held up While riding in a wagon.
In viewof the fact that I was twice confronted
by his, the robber's, rifle and at no time sur
rendered and having seen Major Rucker, un
armed, rush the bandit into the brush and
pursue him, I am modest enough to say the
Madera man has grossly misrepresented two
officers who were not in a wagon but in their
saddles, and bravely did their best to capture
the outlaw."
The defensive tone of the doctor's letter
is probably a reaction to considerable crit
icism in the mountain area of the military
forbunglingtheir part of the affair. There is
no doubt that some criticism was justified,
but for the most part the troops were victims
ofcircumstances over which they had no con
trol.
The fact that the cavalrymen had no
ammunition in their rifles made them easy

targets among civilians. Dr. Pedlar offered
a rather weak excuse when he wrote that "only
noncoms were permitted to carry ammunition
as we were not aware we were passing through
the 'enemy's country.'" Most troops at that
time traveled without ammunition, in order
to prevent accidents as well as unfortunate
incidents in case the men drank too much in
the towns they passed through. Their lack of
ammunition undoubtedly caused considerable
confusion and delay, but the unarmed troop
ers really deserved compliments rather than
criticism for rushing into the brush to look
for an armed bandit.
None of the clues gave the investigating
officer much to work on and they were never
able to capture the BlackKid. Many men were
picked up for questioning, but not enough evi
dence could be found to hold any of them for
trial. The holdup ofthe two stages in Tuolumne
had a few pOints in common with the local
holdup, but no evidence was ever uncovered
to definitely link the two. It too went unsolved.

police officer who shall make such arrest, in performance or the duties of his office in the county where such officer reside., or in which hi. official

Public support of law enforcement was encouraged by the offer of standing
rewards. Although the amounts do not seem great by today's standards, it should
be remembered that $300 would buy a lot more potatoes or beans about the turn
of the century than it will today.

* * Bya resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the city ofOmaha, passed Janua'ry 22, 1901, I was authorized to offer an
additional and direct reward of $5.000 for the arrest and delivery into the ~ustody of an officer of this department, in any jail
in tbe United States or Canada, of Pat Crowe, alias Frank Roberts, alias John Wilson, alias James Martin, alias J.'rank J. Murphy,
alias Harris. The cut showing him as he appeilred in IH9~ is said to be the best likeness of him as he appeared when last seen here.
No.2. Aged 32 to 37, height 5 feet 9 or 10, weight 150 to 160, dark hair, dark complexion and dark mustache if any.
No.3. Aged about 40, height 5 feet 10 inches to (, feet, rather stout build, weigbt IS5 to 190, dark hair and complexion,
dark mustache, speaks with Irish dialect in gruff voice, is a heavy drinker and cigarette smoker.
* * There is also a woman remotely connected with the case. ,he havinlZ' been with No.1 at the time nelrotiations were being
made to rent the bouse which was afterwards used as young Cudahy'S prison. She is described as being aged 20 to 23 years..
height 5 ft. 4 to (, inches, weight 130 to 135 pollnds, very heavy dark brown hair, one front tooth gold plated, which is noticable
when she speaks, and has the resemblant:e of being solid gold, pale complexion, of delicate appearance, wore an imitation
Astrakan black cape, black winter hat with long black feather, and sbe will likely be fonnd in company with Pat Crowe.
In affecting a trade for the pony u~ed by No.1, a Hunter case, gold fil1ed watch, was given as part payment. The watch
is an Elgin Giant,case No. 46614 horse's head with bridle engraved on back, and a shield on front case around which are
floral engravings, has a cheap Elgin movement No. 5017624.
The $50,000.00 is offered as follows: $25.000.00 by the city of Omaha and $25,000.00 by Mr. E. A. Cudahy, to be distributed
as follows, the cit, of Omaha and Mr. Cudahy having agreed each to pay, $5,000.00 for the arrest and conviction of anyone of
the kidnappers, $5,000.00 for the arrest and conviction of an,. two of the kidnappelS, and $25,000.00 for the arrest and
c:onviction of all ~ree of the kidnappcr~ of E. A . Cudahy, Jr.
To avoid any ulnece!lsary commotions. I would suggest that phOlOgraphs be sent b this office, of any suspects who ma,.
be arrested for the above crime, a!l the only way we hue of identifying No.2 and No.• will be by photographs.
Addre:o....;1 commulications to
J. J. DONAHUE,
Omaha. Nebra.a. January 22. \901. Chief of Police.
Biggest reward offered was forthe kidnappers of a member of the Cudahy family.
Anyone earning a reward of this a mount would have been well on the road to
retirement in 1901.

Help Combat Crime
BURGLAR-PROOF YOUR HOME
Burglary is a constant menace to your home. There is a burglary committed
almost every minute of every day of the year in the United States.
Your own home is seriously threatened unless you personally act to prevent
burglaries. The fun of an evening out or a vacation can be rudely spoiled if an
intruder takes advantage of your absence. Burglars look for houses that are
temporarily empty, especially those that are darkened or insecurely locked.
Police reports throughout the nation indicate that the burglar's principal ally
is the person he victimizes. You can "burglar-proof" your home and help your
police department reduce burglaries by taking the precautions suggested below.
DON'T Help THE BURGLAR
When You Leave Your Home
1. Keep at least two lights connected to
an automatic timing device. The timer will
turn the light on at dusk and off at your norm
al retiring time. An unlit home, or one with
lights left on all day is an invitation to the
burglar.
2. Ma ke certain that sturdy pin-tumbler
cylinder locks are on all exterior doors of
your home. The pin-tumbler cylinder lock is
stiU the most secure key-operated lock ever
devised. Don't simplify the burglar's job with
an inferior lock.
3. A practical method of preventing in
truders from entering your home is to install
auxiliary night latches with a deadlocking
mechanism on your exterior doors. Glass
doors should be protected by "double cylin
de r" locks, requiring keys on each side.
Make certain that basement and second story
windows ar e just as securely locked as those
on the first floor.
4. Always inform you neighbors and local
police that you are going away. It is also
advisable to leave shades up and Venetian
blinds partially open. Drawn shades will pro
tect the burglar.
5. Never leave a note for prospective
guests telling them that' 'the key is under the
mat." Burglars can also read and will appre
ciate such thoughtfulness. Also, never notify
your local newspaper before you leave on a
trip. Tell them about your vacation after you
have returned; it will still be news, but no
longer to burglars.
6. Call police to check on strange solic
itors not carrying proper credentials. Never
allow anyon without good credentials to enter
your home. When talking to strange callers
at your door, stand in front of the lock so
For An Evening or Longer Period
that the caller cannot unlock it to prepare
for his return. Remember, a daytime "call
er" may return at night as a burglar.
7. Be certain that milk bottles, mail and
newspapers do not accumulate at your door
while you are away. Have milk and newspaper
deliveries suspended and mail held until you
return. Make these arrangements by letter
or telephone. A note left in a bottle may stop
delivery, but it will also tell a burglar that
the "coast is clear."
8. Keep a record of the serial numbers
a nd descriptions of all your valuables to help
police recover them if they are stolen and,
whenever pOSSible, store them in a safe
deposit box in your bank. This is One way of
fOiling the burglar if you overlook any of the
other suggested precautions.
9. Always report suspicious persons and
questionable or dangerous actions to your
police department, or nearest Sheriff's Office
by dialing "0" for Operator.

useful and helpful knowledge to all women
connected with the police activity in any of
its various branches in order to obtain the

PREAMBLE n he duties of all peace officers involve grave responsibility for
the protection of life and property and the enforcement of
. . :he law. It is imperative that the system upon which public
. . safety depends is developed to a high point of efficiency in
service and ideals. Therefore, the members of our organization must
constantly maintain the highest ethic:!l st~ndards in personal as well
as official conduct, and our conduct and motives must be such as to
merit the confidence and respect of the people.
OBJECTIVES
To maintain law enforcement as an honorable profession.
To be cognizant of our responsibility which is the protection and
defense of individual and community rights.
To strive toward true professionalism by preparing ourselves through
education and training to keep informed of current theories and
techniques in the interest of better serving the public and our
profe~sion.
CODE OF ETHICS
=:nforce laws without fear or favor;
Recognize law enforcement work as an opportunity to render a worth
while service to the public;
Cultivate and maintain the support and cooperation of the public in
law enforcement;
Extend the effectiveness of law enforcement by interchange of ideas,
information and experience;
Maintain high moral standards;
Remember that the badge of law enforcement is a sacred trust.

or burned-out boats, cautioning over-zealous
water skiers-the list is endless.
These fellows are doing a terrific job,
with a big savingto the taxpayer. They supply
their own boats, and are not paid for their
time. It would cost the county at least $8,000
a summer to pay for what they do for no mon
etary compensation.
Every man has at least $200 invested in
the equipment he needs, and this doesn't count
the cost of the boats, and the gas they use,
or the men's time. They definitely fill a need
of the Department.
The big months of the season are coming
-June, July and August-and with them an
uncountable number of headaches, all handled
in a good humor by these jacks-of-all-trades.
Well, almost always in good humor. After all,
how cheerful can you get when you've spent a
day, a night and the next day on a body hunt,
then have to explain to a Southern California
boater why he needs his craft registered, or
why he can't stand up in it on the water. Or
why he can't even put it in the water until it
has had a safety check.
These volunteers have spent the relatively
quiet winter months regrouping their forces,
repairing their boats and other equipment,
because they know that, come summer, the
entire operation will be repeated.
Like the time Deputy Nicholas, along with
volunteer officers Harvey Kroeker and Tom
Tripp, were headed towards the Hell's Hole
area ofthe Kings River after getting a report
that a man was injured.
We found him, of course, but we found
his son first. The injured father was about
a mile-and-a-half down a rugged trail, the son
informed us, and was in need of quick care.
We descended slowly-it was the only
way we could go-and after nearly an hour
we reached the victim. He had a compound
fracture of the right leg. First the easy part
-placing him in a Stokes litter and tying
him in after wrapping the torn muscle and
putting splints on the leg, procedures learned
in first-aid classes.
Then came the tough part. The victim
weighed 180 pounds, and we had to carry him
back up that steep trail, with its heavy brush
and slippery, sliding rocks.
It was a pleasant sight to see the Forest
Service descending the hillside to assist us.
l'.luscles strained and feet were skidding on
the loose ground, but headway was made
slowly. About half-way up the hill the Sheriff's
Department rescue team gave us some relief.
By now the litter had become ten-fold in
weight.
The crews finally made it to the top, where

Report From Huntington Laker".tiiil'jllll .c
By
Ken Hogue
Resident Deputy She'rijj
Huntington Lake
BECAUSE of the mountain recreations
available to the public, the Shaver and Hunt
ington Lake areas experience an extremely
large population increase during the summer.
Camping, boating, fishing and sail-boating
are but a few of the many recreation activities
available. The great majority of vacationers
are honest law-abiding citizens who respect
the rights of all, and who practice safety in
their fun. Unfortunately there are a few who
are not in this category, making it necessary
for Sheriff Willmirth to assign resident deputy
sheriffs to Shaver and Huntington Lakes dur
ing this period.
The primary duties of the officers
assigned are: boat patrol to enforce the boat
ing and water recreation safety laws; vehicle
patrol; criminal investigation in the business,
residential cabin, and campground areas; and
aSSisting the Sheriff's Search and Rescue
Team by making preliminary contact with

friends and relatives of the lost or injured
party.
Deputy Frank Hoke was assigned to Sha
ver and I was assigned to Huntington, with the
tour of duty beginning on the weekend of April
27, the opening of trout season. Although there
was a heavy influx of fishermen, there were
no boating mishaps on either lake, and the
only incident reported was the death of an
85-year-old heart attack victim at Huntington
Lake.
The following week€)nd we were dispatched
to Camp Sierra to rescue a fisherman who
slipped and broke his leg while fishing in Big
Creek about a mile downstream from Camp
Sierra. The terrain was very steep and rug
ged, making it impossible for the victim to
get out without the help of rescue workers.
Ken Davis, special agent lor the Southern
California Edison Co., responded to the scene
with a volunteer rescue party. They walked
into the area with Deputy Hoke and carried
the injured fisherman out by stretcher.
We were contacted on May 18th, by a
young man who reported that his female fish
ing partner was lost in the back country be
tween the Sample Meadow Road and Twin
Lakes. The two of them had left S:lmple road
at 9:30 that morning, hiking a trail to Twin
Lakes. They lost the trail a couple of miles
off the road, and in searching for the trail
they became separated. The man was able to
find his way back to the road where he went
for assistance. Deputy Constable Dick Smith
and myself conducted a preliminary search
and found the victim just before sundown in
the general area where she became lost. She
was hysterical with fright and almost inco
herent when we reached her. She said that
she ran all the time she was lost, crying out
for someone to help her. It was her continu
ous screaming that directed us to her. Had
this woman not been found the first couple of
days that she was lost, her lack of mountain
experience and the failure to keep a cool head
could easily have cost her life.
Deputy Hoke terminated his employment
with the Sheriff's Department early in the
season and Jim Daily was assigned duties as
resident deputy at Shaver Lake.
The latter part of June brought on the
juvenile vacationers and the activities went
into full swing. _The weekly Saturday night
dances held at Lakeshore kept us busy from
the evening until the early hours of the next
morning. The Fourth of July weekend dance

excited teen-ager came running in from the
parking lot to advise us there was a fight out
side. We responded to the scene and observed
a long-haired hippie·type subject laying on
his stomach, and a young man sitting in the
middle of his back with the hippie's legs
twisted into a leg-lock. The hippie was beg
ging the man to release the pressure on his
legs. The immediate investigation revealed
the hippie was caught red-handed burglari zing
the car of the man who was sitting on his
back. Our burglary suspect was very happy
to be released out ofthe grasp of the burglary
victim and into the handcuffs of the sheriff's
officers. He had picked a car to buglarize
that belonged to an ex-high school wrestling
champion who had just been discharged from
the U. S. Marines.
The following Saturday night resulted in
the arrest of four felony suspects who bur
glarized the China Peak Lodge. Sgt. Bill Cun
ningham, who worked on special crowd control
assignment at the Saturday night dances,
and I received word that the lodge had been
burglarized. Investigation at the scene
revealed that four male adults were inter
rupted by a lodge employee while they were
. committing the crime. Two of the suspects
fled the scene on foot and disappeared into
the mountains. The other two suspects fled in
a car, with the lodge employee throwing rocks
at ·the fleeing vehicle. The suspects in the
car drove a mile up the highway and stopped
to wait for their friends on foot. Jim Daily
responded to the scene from Shaver to assist.
Daily and Cunningham apprehended the two
suspects in the car, and also a third suspect
who was on foot. The fourth suspect came out
of hiding and gave up when he observed the
t9w truck hauling the car away.
One of the highlights of the season was
the arrest of a young man who, we believed,
was the biggest drug pusher in the area.
Early in the season we had heard rumors
that dangerous drugs were being used by
some of the juveniles who lived in the moun
tain communities. There remained rumors
until late in the summer when we received
some facts to work with. Jim Daily was con
tacted by a Shaver resident who stated that
his son had come home "high" on pills. The
investigation revealed the identity of the push
er and the fact that he was a recent graduat~
of the local high school. He allegedly had been
furnishing drugs to fellow students during the
past year. The information was passed on to
Constable Jack Sturges, Sgt. Cunningham,
and I so that we could watch for the pusher
at the dance which was to be held that same
night at Huntington. Ironically, all three of us

were familiar with the suspect, since Cun
ningham had caught him sneaking into the
previous Saturday night dance without paying,
whereupon he had become very belligerant
when reprimanded. Sturges then had banned
him from all future dances for the remainder
of the season. Although we doubted that he
would come to the dance that night, he showed
up-much toourpleasure-, and was allowed
into the dance as if all was forgotten about
the previous trouble he had caused. The sus
pect was kept under constant surveillance,
and about a half-hour later I saw him passing
pills to a girl on the dance floor. When con
fronted with what was observed, he angrily
stated that he had given the girl aspirin. The
suspect was escorted outside for further
questioning, at which time he attempted to
run. He fought violently to free himself before
being subdued by Cunningham, Sturges and

son, and only three search-and-rescue oper
ations in the area, with two rescues being
completed at the preliminary stage. The
Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team was called
out of Fresno on only one occasion: to look
for a lost four-year-old boy, who was found
safe after being lost for part of one day and
through the night. Crime prevention and
criminal investigation were the most demand
ing and time-consuming ofour duties through
out the summer vacation season.
A total of ten felony arrests were made
as the results of crimes committed in the
Huntington Lake area. Without the combined
efforts and cooperation of all law enforcement
officers in the district, this could not have
been accomplished. My very special thanks
to Constable Jack Sturges, who spent many
long and exhausting days in assisting the
Huntington and Shaver deputies; and to Ken
Davis of the Southern California Edison Co.,
who always offered his assistance wherever
and whenever it was needed.

A Report From Shaver Lake
By
Jim Daily,
Resident Deputy Sheriff
Shaver Lake
SHAVER LAKE is a small mountain com
munity located northeast of Fresno in the
foothills. The permanent resident population
of Shaver during the winter montns numbers
approximately 250; however, during the sum
mer, the influx of vacationers and tourists
brings a large number of flatlanders into this
community and the surrounding areas of
Dinkey Creek, Wishon, and Courtright. Each
of these areas mentioned has one or more
campgrounds, fishing facilities, and most
have boating facilities.
Duringthe winter months, these commun
ities are served by Constable Jack Sturges
and his Deputy, Dick Smith. In the summer
months this area, known as the Ponderosa
,]'ldicial District, is simply too large for two
officers to handle, and for this reason Sheriff
Willmirth sends two Deputies from the Fresno
office to work the mountain area. Under nor
mal circumstances, the Huntington officer
covers the area from Huntington north, and
the Shaver officer takes the area including
Shaver and east to Courtright.

When compared with other years, the
year 1968 was extremely quiet in the Shaver
area. The primary reason for this was the
fact that Shaver Lake was extremely low this
past year. This was partly due to the dry win
ter, and partly to the fact that the Shaver Dam
was being resurfaced. With the water in the
lake so low, boating became very dangerous
due to submerged rocks and stumps. Because
ofthis, a number of boaters chose to use other
lakes such as Pine Flat and Millerton.
During the year of 1968, four rescues
were successfully handled with no loss of life.
The first rescue of the season occurred on
August 29th, when a woman wandered off from
Camp Sierra, a private resort located between
Shaver and Big Creek. For this operation, it
was necessary to call on Sgt. Bill Young and
the Sheriff's Office's mountain rescue unit.
The woman was discovered missing after
dark on the 29th. A preliminary search of
known trails around the camp was carried
out by volunteers from the camp; however,
this was unsuccessful. Sgt. Young arrived
early the next morning with four deputies
from the rescue team. A daylight search using
both deputies and volunteers from the camp

was formed immediately and within three
hours the woman was located by Deputy Ken
Hogue, the resident deputy from Huntington.
The other three rescues noted occurred dur
ingdeer season and were all in the Patterson
and Hoffman Mountain area. In each case,
the lost person managed to walk out.
There were some tragedies in the area,
and one in particular points out the need for
safety when dealing with firearms. On July
24th, a young man was carrying a loaded .22
caliber automatic rifle in the back seat of his
car. He had parked the vehicle at Shaver
Lodge, and took the rifle from the back seat.
The rifle had no trigger guard, and according
to witnesses the victim grasped the rifle by
the barrel and pulled it out of the window
toward him. The trigger caught on a partially
open window and went off, the bullet striking
the victim in the neck. Tragic as this accident
was, it could have been prevented by knowing
and using the firearm safety procedures.
First, it is against the law to carry a loaded
rifle in your car. Second, you should never
operate or handle any rifle without a trigger
guard, especially an automatic rifle. Third,

thanks to all law enforcement personnel in

FUNERAL SERVICE
Since 1885
it is eventually restored to the owner.
There are scores of professional theft
rings operating throughout the country and
the motorist unfortunate enough to have his
vehicle stolen by one of these thieves might
not even recognize the car when and if he
sees it again. A police department that re
ports such a "recovered" auto may in reality
be referring to a bare chassis-the original
vehicle having been stripped of its engine,
transmission, tires, accessories and even
the steering wheel. Many such recoveries
are burned hulks, with the valuable parts
removed and what remained set afire to hide
clues.
. -American auto manufacturers are work
ing continuously to reduce car thefts by mak
ing it as difficult as possible for the thief to
enter, start or drive away the vehicle. They
are aware that every additional second a
thief requires to steal the car serves as a
deterrent. Door locks have been made
increasingly secure and the modern ignition
system is not easy to "jimmy." Many tricks
once used with success by thieves have passed
into oblivion because of the car makers'
efforts to frustrate them.
Most authorities are in agreement on one
thing: The car thief's closest ally is the car
owner himself, for it is he who leaves the
doors unlocked, the windows ajar, the keys
in the ignition or the vehicle itself parked in
an unlighted, mostly deserted area. Anyone
of these is the equivalent of an engraved invi
tation to a car thief.
