The past year has brought the passing of several Fresno County peace officers.
Some died from natural causes, others were killed in line of duty. All are sorely missed.
The Review extends a sincere gesture of sympathy to the families of these men, and
pledges that they will not be forgotten.
Sergeant Robert K. Ledbetter was the only active member of the Sheriff's De-
partment to pass away during the year. His sudden death from acute luekemia was a
shock to all his friends and fellow employees. During, his ten years as a member of the
Department he made many friends, and was well known for his unique sense of hu-
mor, an outspoken, conscientious individual, and a dedicated officer. It will be diffi-
cult to fill the void left by his passing.
Sergeant Ledbetter was born on March 13, 1920, in Sidney, Nebraska. He at-
tended elementary school in Paonia, Colorado, high school in San Leandro, California,
and the College of the Sequoias in Visalia. He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, having
served in both World War II and the Korean War. Most of his service was as an Elec-
trician's Mate on a destroyer and an aircraft carrier.
Following his discharge from the Navy, Bob worked as an electrician for a
short time. He joined the Sheriff's Department in 1952, and worked in the Security
Division and as a bailiff until 1954, when he became a field investigator in the Identi-
fication Bureau. He was promoted to the rank of sergeant in December of 1961.
Bob was a member of the Methodist Church, the IOOF in Selma, the Fresno
County Peace Officer's Association, and the Fresno County Employees Association.
He is survived by his wife, Nettie Jean and two daughters, Sharon and Kathleen, of
Selma. He also leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl W. Ledbetter of Chino, California,
and nine brothers and sisters.
Eldon Lee "Jack" Fisher was not a regular member of the Department, but he
worked with us for so many years that we thought of him as such. He was born in
Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, on April 4, 1901, and passed away in Fresno in May of last year.
Jack spent most of his early life working in the lumber industry in Idaho. He
came to Fresno in 1927, and worked for several years for the Sugar Pine Lumber
Company as a trimmer at their Pinedale mill. During World War II he served with
the U.S. Navy Seabees in the Aleutian Islands. After the war he worked for the Peer-
less Pump Company until 1951, when he retired after a near fatal accident on Pache-
co Pass.

Jack first became affiliated with the Sheriff's Department in 1950, when he
became a member of the Sheriff's Aero Squadron. A few years later when the Sheriff's
Uniformed Reserve Unit was organized, he was one of the first to join. In 1957 he
was made a regular deputy on a temporary basis, and worked full time for several
months in the patrol division. He performed his duties so well, and was so well liked
by the regular officers, that during the next few years his employment amounted to
practically a full time job. When temporary help was needed, his was the first name
mentioned. Many young regular officers acquired a great deal of knowledge in work-
ing with people under trying situations from Jack Fisher. He never interfered, or tried
to tell a regular officer what to do, but he was always ready with a steadying wor
of advice and encouragement when it was needed.
Jack was a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Scottish Rite. He is survive
by his wife Pearl, and two sisters.

Constable Richard P. Valdez of the Fowler Judicial District was killed in an
automobile accident on January 2nd, 1962. His automobile struck a large tree in the
dividing strip of 99 Highway south of Malaga.
Constable Valdez was born in Tres Pinos, San Benito County, on September
7th, 1921. He attended school there, and worked several years as a salesman and as a
bartender before entering law enforcement. He had experience as a police officer in
San Benito County and as a member of the Fowler Police Department. On July 2, 1957
he was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to the vacancy created by the resigna-
tion of veteran Constable Elmer York.
He is survived by his wife, Lucy and one child.
April 21, 1962 was a day of tragedy for the Fresno County squad of the
California Highway Patrol. Jerry E. Turre, one of the unit's finest young officers,
was killed in line of duty. About 1:30 a.m. he and his partner had been assigned to
the investigation of a traffic accident on 99 Highway north of Church Avenue, di-
rectly in front of the local CHP headquarters building. Jerry was setting flares along
the southbound lane when he was struck by a motorist, who sped away without stop-
ping.
He was thrown ninety feet from the point of impact, and was killed instantly.
The driver of the car was later apprehended, convicted of manslaughter, and sen-
tenced to a year in jail.
Jerry was a native of Yreka, Siskiyou County. He had been a member of the
California Highway Patrol since 1956. He was transferred to Fresno in 1958 from
the Crescent City squad. He is survived by his wife, Rosalie, four children, his par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Turre of Yreka, and a brother, Byron of Cloverdale.
Myron A. Pohl, a former sergeant in the Sheriff's Department, passed away
on September 3rd. He was born in Williamtown, Missouri, on January 31, 1905,
and had lived in California since childhood. He was a graduate of the Fresno Tech-
nical High School. He became a member of the Department in August of 1945, and
retired because of disability on July 31, 1956. During his career with the Department
he served as bailiff, jailer, transportation officer, worked in the Civil Division and
as a desk officer in the Patrol Division. He is survived by his wife, Carmelita, who
lives at 1804 E. Vassar Avenue in Fresno.
Another veteran Fresno County peace officer who was closely connected to
the Department was Cleo Vern Martin. He retired from the Fresno Police Depart-
ment in October of 1950, completing twenty -five years of service. He was born in
Visalia on September 20, 1891.
In 1956 he began working for the Sheriff's Department as a transportation
officer, on a part -time basis. He was employed more or less steadily in this capacity
until 1959, when he was injured in an automobile accident. He never fully recovered
his health after the accident, and was forced to quit work altogether. He passed away
on March 31st of last year.

Fame is Fickle
Human nature is such that most of us are
usually flattered and pleased to see our names
in newspapers. This may be true even when the
news story is not exactly complimentary. For
George Jose Jaso, however, newspaper and tele-
vision publicity turned out to be far from a
blessing. It is safe to assume that he hopes his
name is never again brought to the attention
of the public.
Shortly after midnight on January 1, 1963,
Jaso became the father of Fresno's first baby of
the new year. Local newspapers printed a rather
elaborate story about the blessed event, and later
a television appearance was arranged.
The newspaper story caught the eye of an
investigator in the Fresno County Welfare De-
partment. The name of the proud poppa seemed
vaguely familiar. He checked his files when he
went to work the next day, and was not unduly
astonished to learn that several months earlier
a warrant had been issued in the Selma Justice
Court for Jaso's arrest.
The warrant had not been served because the
defendant had moved and left no forwarding
address. This bit of information was supplied by
the helpful newspaper reporter who wrote the
story.
Within a short time the father found himself
again in the limelight. This time he was explain-
ing to a judge why he had failed to properly
support children of a previous marriage.

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

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

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

sary to keep at least one unit there constantly
to keep the traffic moving. The grocery store
owner on the corner did a brisk business in ice
cream and soft drinks.
When the body was finally located, spectators
with cameras were on hand to take close range
photographs of it before it could be covered
with a blanket.
It is difficult to understand why otherwise
normal and sensible people are so gratified by
being at the scene of a disaster. It is even more
difficult to understand their feeling that every-
one else is in the way, but that they are not.
Some of the worst offenders have been known
to say, looking at their fellow spectators, "Why
don't these people get out of the way ?"
There are, of course, laws to handle such situ-
ations. Section 402 of the California Penal Code
states:
"Every person who goes to the scene of a
disaster, or stops at the scene of a disaster,

for the purpose of viewing the activities of
policemen, firemen, other emergency per-
sonnel, or military personnel coping with
the disaster in the course of their duties
during the time it is necessary for emergen-
cy vehicles or such personnel to be at the
scene of the disaster or to be moving to or
from the scene of the disaster for the pur-
pose of protecting lives or property, unless
it is part of the duties of such person's em-
ployment to view such scene or activities,
and thereby impede such policemen, fire-
men, emergency personnel or military
personnel in the performance of their duties
in coping with the disaster, is guilty of a
misdemeanor.
For the purpose of this section, a disaster
includes a fire, explosion, an airplane crash,
flooding, windstorms, damage, a railroad
accident, or a traffic accident."
There are also several other sections designed
to cover specific acts or situations; for example,
the sections of the vehicle code prohibiting driv-
ing near a fire, crossing a fire hose, etc. The laws
are seldom enforced, however, since officers who
are working at a disaster scene simply don't have
time to make arrests. Therefore the only practi-
cal solution to the problem is to appeal to the
common sense of the public, hoping that, if
shovm how much hinderance is caused by curi-
ous people rushing to disaster scenes, the prac-
tice will become less prevalent.
Naturally we do not mean to imply that offi-
cers or other authorized persons working, at a
disaster do not welcome help. If such help is
needed, and there are private citizens available
who are sincerely willing to lend a hand, they
will be welcomed with open arms. Nor do we
mean that a motorist should never stop of the
scene of an accident. A citizen should always
stop and help all he can if conditions indicate
that help is actually needed.
Our message is directed, rather, to those cur-
ious persons who contribute nothing whatsoever
to the solution of the problem, but are interested
only in gratifying their own morbid curiousity.
To those misguided persons, we offer, on behalf
of all law enforcement officers and others re-
sponsible for public safety, this fervent plea, IF
YOU CAN'T HELP, PLEASE STAY OUT OF
THE WAY.

Considering the number of miles travelled by
the Patrol Division, their accident rate is sur-
prisingly low. However, one does happen oc-
casionally. Deputy Carl Henson explains to
Police Patrolman David Goyovich how another
vehicle happened to run into his patrol car.

WE CONTINU
Since 1962 was an election year, we could
have found it necessary, in writing of changes
in the organization of the department, to intro-
duce a new boss. However, Sheriff Melvin Will -
mirth's campaign for re- election to a third term
was uneventful and successful; it consisted mere-
ly of filing as a candidate. It was considered a
great tribute to him personally, and to his ad-
ministration, that no one considered the chances
of wining an election against him good enough
to justify the effort.
The Review takes this opportunity to con-
gratulate the boss on his easy victory and vote
of confidence. We thank him for his help and

cooperation in malting this publication and our
Association a success, and arc sure we can Count

Although there were no changes at the top,
Sheriff Willmirth and his administrative aides
made several important changes in the internal
organization of the department. All were made
in a continuing effort to improve the efficiency
of the Department, and to keep it abreast of the
times, thus making it more able to perform its
intended mission of protecting life and prop-
erty. The Department is still a long way from
perfection, but we feel that each change has

brought us closer to that goal.
Most of the major changes were in the Identi-
fication Bureau. The first was the changing of
job classification of the Identification Bureau
technicians, the men who actually collect and
preserve the physical evidence found at a crime
scene. These men have previously been classified
either as regular deputies or as sergeants. How-
ever, since their work is of such a specialized
nature, it was decided that the title of crimi-
nologist would be more appropriate. The rank
will be at the same pay level and have the same
prestige as that of sergeant; however, it will de-
note technical skill and knowledge rather than
administrative ability and authority. Definite
standards were set up for the new positions, and
a competitive examination will be required.
Plans arc now being made for a training pro-
gram for those already assigned as field techni-
cians, to make sure they have the necessary
qualifications.
Just before the end of the year a second ma-
jor change was made in the Bureau. The name
was officially changed to Records and l:dentifi-
cation Division. Lt. Kenneth Larson who had
previously been in charge of the Warrants, Men-
tal Health, and Transportation Details, was ap-
pointed Administrative Assistant to the Division
Commander, Captain Rodney Riddle. This was
done to allow Captain Riddle more time to su-
pervise the more technical aspects of the divi-
sions duties.
The Warrants, Mental Health and Trans-
portation Details were transferred out of the
Criminal Division and made a part of the Rec-
ords and Identification Division. Also removed
from the jurisdiction of the Criminal Division
was the Steno Pool, which became a part of the
Records Section. This was done to better co-
ordinate the typing and filing of reports and
records.
The entire Records system is being stream-
lined, with a master file system replacing several
separate index files. This will facilitate records
searches and provide more accurate and faster
service to the investigative branches of the De-
partment, other agencies, and the public. Ob-
solete files, and duplicate procedures arc being
discarded, resulting in a substantial saving in
space, manpower, and taxpayer's money.

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

CIVIL DIVISION PROMOTION
A well - deserved promotion was the most sig-
nificant event of the year for the Civil Division.
Sgt. John Papazian became a lieutenant, and
a9sumed more responsibility in helping Captain
Fred Koll, the Division Commander to direct
the activities of the division.
Usually it is somewhat difficult to write about
the Civil Division. Although the work it does is
important, the duties are quite routine, con-
sisting principally of serving subpeonas, writs,
and other orders of the court. One day last Fall,
however, for a brief moment that was radically
changed. A prisoner who was being led through
the main lobby of the building to the jail door
broke away from the arresting officer and at-
tempted to escape. He fled out the front door
into the Courthouse Park, with the officer close
behind.
As the pursued and the pursuer passed Cap-
tain Koll's office which is near the front entrance,
they interrupted the Captain's contemplation
over some problem concerning a court order. He
quickly surveyed the situation, threw down his
papers, and joined the chase, which circled the
public restroom in front of the building, and
continued across the park in the general direc-
tion of Van Ness Avenue. Despite the fact Cap-
tain Koll sits at a desk most of the day, and has
not participated in a high school track meet for
several years, he was in on the capture, which
took place when a helpful citizen tripped the
fleeing prisoner. The Captain was scarcely
breathing hard when it was over. He seemed to
enjoy his brief change of duty, which proves
that once a man has been a field officer, he never
quite loses his touch.

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

PLANS FOR FUTURE GROWTH
The Administrative Division, where most of
the aforementioned changes were incubated and
hatched, began late in the year to work with the
County Administrative office in making plans
for future office space for the department. This
project was made quite urgent by the fact the
plans for a new courthouse are now being made.
It is imperative that those who are making the
plans have some idea how much office space will
be required by each department of county gov-
ernment twenty -five or thirty years from now.
It is difficult to predict with any appreciable
degree of accuracy what future changes will be
made in the organzation of the Sheriff's Depart-
ment. There are exciting possibilities, such as
electronic processing of records and warrants;
the use of new developments of science in the
field of criminal identification, and new equip-
ment which will no doubt facilitate the appre-
hension and detention of criminals.
For the present, however, one of the most
pressing problems is working space. Practically
every unit of the building is crowded far be-
yond its intended capacity. We trust this prob-
lem will soon be solved, when the new Court-
house becomes a reality.

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

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

maintained by an organization devoted to the
rehabilitation of women alcoholics. She also de-
votes a great deal of time to various church ac-
tivities.
Mrs. Collins lives at 3034 Madison Avenue.
She keeps in touch with her friends at the Sher-
iff's Department through her son, Chief Crim-
inal Deputy Albert Collins.
Mrs. Goldie A. � 111is was the other female
member who left us last year. She too had been
a matron in the jail for several years. She joined
the Department in February of 1947, and re-
tired last April 1 5th. For most of her career she
was in charge of the women's jail on the 4:00
p.m. to midnight shift. She is best remembered
by officers who worked with her and inmates
she supervised for her cheerful attitude and sun-
ny disposition, which was always present no
matter how trying the situation might have
been.
Mrs. Willis was born in Fresno on December
30, 1893, and attended local schools. During
World War II she was employed by the federal
government at Hammer Field. She lives at 2980
E. Iowa Avenue in Fresno. She has spent a great
deal of time traveling since she retired.

The Little League team we sponsor, "The
Sheriff's ", bounced back with a vengeance last
year. They rose from their 1961 cellar position
to the championship of the Sierra League. We're
all as proud as if they were our own kids.
Coach Duane Baleme said, "We were lucky
and fortunate to win the championship last
year." Coach Baleme is exhibiting becoming
modesty. The credit for the success of the team
should be equally divided between the coach for
his patience and fine handling of the team, and
the youngsters themselves for their fine play and
team spirit.
All the boys played so hard that it is difficult
to pick individual stars. In the coming season,
however, we will miss such fine players as Curt
Blinsmon, who led the team in hitting, Phil
Goodrich, the top pitcher, Ricky Cores and Den-
nis Adair. These players have "retired ", since
they are too old for Little League play. We also
lost Jerry Hoobler, an outstanding player who
moved to Oregon.
We look forward to a successful campaign this
season, since we will still have the following vet-
eran players: Gary Luzon, a fiery catcher, Gary

Polly and Roger Glaspey, who are both good
hitting pitchers, first baseman Danny Viamello,
and our two mighty mites, Warren Jennings and
Howie Deinart. Two other real comers of whom
great things are expected are Gary Haron and
Pat Ellis.
There has been a great deal of criticism of
Little Leagues in recent years. The claim has been
made, no doubt justifiably in many instances,
that the game has been taken away from the kids,
and too much emphasis has been placed on win-
ning. Coach Baleme doesn't run his team in that
manner. He teaches the boys that while it is im-
portant to try to win, there is no disgrace in los-
ing if an honest effort is made, and that sports-
manship and fair play are much more important
than batting averages and box scores.
We in the Sheriff's Department who have con -
tributed to the team's support want the fellows
to know that we're rooting for them in the com-
ing season, and we'll still be with them no matter
where their name appears when the final stand-
ings are posted.

GETTING AT IT
By HAROLD McKINNEY
"Four questions were asked of all dep-
uties with whom we came in contact. They
involved a hypothetical situatio in which
each was placed in the position of Sheriff
and given the budget surplus of $1000,000
in which to accomplish four things:
1. Enlarge the force.
2. Increase salaries.
3. Buy more equipment.
4. Establish an in- service training pro-
gram.
We were interested indeed to find that
almost unaniniously the Gre f orence was giv-
en to the establishment of an in- service
training Grogram ... it certainly represents
to us a new trend of thought on the part
of the people charged with enforcing our
laws and detaining our prisoners."

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

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

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

In another article in this issue we mention the
crowded condition of the Sheriff's Department
building. There has been a great deal of local
newspaper publicity and public speculation re-
garding a proposed new administration building
for the Department. In order to erase any doubt
from the minds of our readers regarding the
actual need for more office space, we present
the following photos, depicting the conditions
under which we work.

Rooms
The Detective Division works out of a room
not a whole lot larger than some living rooms.
It is cut into eight tiny cubicles in order to pro-
vide each crew with sime degree of privacy in
which to discuss cases, interview witnesses, and
interrogate suspects. Actually, the degree of
privacy provided is negligible, since the parti-
tions do not reach the ceiling. The condition is
made even worse by the fact that personnel from
other dvisions must use the narrow hallway in
going in and out the rear door of the building.

Perhaps the greatest need for space is in the
Records and Identification Division. The hall-
way into that unit's portion of the building is
used as an office for the Bureau field men. Any-

on the head by a door knob when someone enters

The Warrants and Records Sergeant, the
Senior Clerk, three stenographers, three clerk
typists, and a matron typist work all day in this
23 x 3 S foot room. The warrant field men also
use it as a base of operations. It also contains the
master index files, warrant index and storage
files, and a counter at which officers and citizens
requesting warrant and record information are
served. These things alone crowd the room. Con-
ditions are made worse by a stairway to the base-
ment which take up over a hundred square feet
of floor space.

Fortunately, most of the duties of the war-
rant men are carried out in the field. The whole
crew shares this tiny corner and table for neces-
sary paper work.

The case files, individual record, and finger-
print card files occupy this room. Each year
several thousand manila folders are added. Lack
of room for expansion has forced the conversion
to open shelf files, such as those in the back-
ground. These consume less floor space than the
closed drawer type, and are slightly less expen-
sive to buy. However, these advantages are far
outweighed by the fact they are difficult to
search, and not even the tallest file clerk can
reach the top shelf without a ladder.
If these photos do not prove our need for
more office space, let us consider these additional
factors. Four units of the Department are
housed in other buildings. The Mental Health
and Transportation Details have offices at the
County Hospital. The Juvenile Detail and the
Coroner's office are in rented offices in a com-
mercial building across the street from the
Courthouse Park. Needless to say, such disper-
sion creates many problems and makes it more
difficult for us to serve the people of Fresno
County in the proper manner.

"There is nothing in this 'zvorld more
constant but inconstancy. " —Stvi f t.
The a b o v e quotation was certainly never
more applicable than when used in reference to
the law by which we govern ourselves. It is in a
constant state of change; each year new laws
are passed by the legislative branches of our gov-
ernment. Old ones are made new or different
through fresh interpretations.
A good example of the latter type of change
is the new California vagrancy law, sometimes
referred to as the "hobo's bill of rights." Under
the old law it was legally possible for an officer

to make an arrest based solely upon a person's
general character or reputation. This authority
was a useful tool for the peace officer, and was
a benefit to society as a whole, as long as it was
applied in the spirit intended by the legislators
who enacted the law. It was intended that such
power of arrest be used only to control or retard
the development of an undesirable or potential-
ly criminal situation. (Continrted on the Nest Page)

For instance, if an officer saw a person who
was known to be a pickpocket loitering on a
busy street, he could have made an arrest on the
theory the subject was likely to pick someone's
pocket. If he saw a known prostitute hanging
around a tavern, he could arrest her because it
was reasonably certain she was looking for cus-
tomers.
Obviously it was not intended that an arrest
be made each time a person of unsavory reputa-
tion was seen, but only when it was reasonably
necessary in order to protect life, property, or
the moral standards of the community. Most of-
ficers applied the law in that manner. Regret-
tably, however, the right to make an arrest for
vagrancy was occasionally abused. There were
instances where an officer saw an habitual
drunkard on the street in a sober condition, and
said to himself, "I might as well arrest him now.
He'll be drunk in a little while anyway."
An incident of that nature was one of the
most important factors contributing to the en-
actment of the new law. Onc Emery Newbern
petitioned the California Supreme Court for a
Ns'rit of habeas corpus, after having been arrested
in 1.cln,,; beach, and convicted of violation of
subsection 11 of Penal Code section 647. This
subsection gives one definition of a vagrant as a
"common drunkard." The defendant had also
been convicted of Violation of the Long Beach
Municipal Code section which prohibits drunk-
enness in public. He did not contest this convic-
tion. He objected only to being convicted and
punished for being a "common drunkard,"
claiming no one knew exactly what the term
meant.
The prosecutiQn, in its argument that the
conviction should be upheld, presented over-
whelming evidence to prove that the subject
did, in fact, become intoxicated quite often.
Included were pleas of guilty to numerous pre-
vious charges of drunkenness.
Newbern did not claim to be a temperate
man. He argued that the lack of a precise mean-
ing of the term "common drunkard" made the
whole subsection vague and uncertain. He
pointed out that a well established element of
the constitutional guarantee of due process of
law is that a reasonable degree of certainty must

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

shall in all cases in which probation is granted
require as a condition thereof that such person
be confined in the county jail for at least ninety
days. In no event does the court have the power
to absolve a person who violates this section
from the obligation of spending at least ninety
days in confinement in the county jail."
As is usual in such instances, there was con-
siderable newspaper publicity regarding the de-
cision of the Court, much of it quite misleading.
Some editorial pages called the decision wise and
long overdue. Others claimed the narcotics user
and peddler had, in effect, been given a license
to operate by the Supreme Court.
Although we will venture the statement that
the truth probably lies somewhere between these
two extreme points of view, we will abide by
our firm policy against taking sides on any de-
cision made by the courts or the legislature.
Since we who own and publish The Review are
all peace officers, are feel it is our duty to accept
and enforce the law as it is written and inter-
preted by the legislature and the courts, regard-
less of what our personal opinions may be.
Therefore we try to present both sides of con-
troversial issues we may discuss, and let the read-
er decide for himself which he will support.
The events leading up to the aforementioned
decision began when one Lawrence Robinson
was arrested in Los Angeles County, and charged
with being a narcotics addict as defined in sec-
tion 11721 of the Health and Safety Code. He
was found guilty in a jury trial in the Los An-
geles Municipal Court, and was sentenced to
ninety days in jail, the minimum sentence al-
lowed by the statute.
In an appeal to the Superior Court the con-
viction was upheld. The defendant then ap-
pealed to the United States Supreme Court, after
trying unsuccessfully to obtain a hearing on a
writ of habeas corpus in the California Appel-
late Court and the California Supreme Court.
The highest court in the land reversed the con-
viction.
We don't know how many of our readers have
ever read the complete text of a Supreme Court
opinion. One might assume, since the Court is
such an a u g u s t and dignified body, that its
opinions would be written in language too deep
(Continued on the Next Page)
and complex for the average layman to fully
comprehend. This may be true in sonic instances,
but quite oftctl we find one written in simple,
easy to understand phrases, which explain with a
high degree of clarity the reasons for the de-
cision. Such was the opinion in case number
554, Robinson vs. California.
The official opinion of the majority of the
Court is written by one of the nine justices, and,
in cases of unanimous decision, it may be the
only one appearing in the record. Quite often,
however, a justice who has voted with the ma-
jority, and thus has his thoughts combined with
the thoughts of the others, will want to make
sure his personal point of view is recorded. Per-
haps he feels a little more strongly on the issue
than the others, or he may view the matter in a
slightly different light. He will write a Concur-
ring opinion, which goes into the record follow-
ing the majority opinion. In cases where the de-
cision is not unanimous, there may also be one
or more dissenting opinions, in which the jus-
tices who were in the minority express their
views.
The majority opinion in the Robinson case
was written by Justice Potter Stewart. He began
with a summation of the relevant events, from
the time of the arrest to the granting of a hear-
ing by the Supreme Court.
In referring to the questionable statute under
which the defendant had been convicted, he
mentioned that the trial judge, in instructing
the jury, had stated that the phrase "addicted to
the use of" was based upon a condition or status,
and not upon a specific act; that it was a con-
tinuing offense which was chronic rather than
acute; that it continued after it was complete,
and would subject the offender to arrest at any
time before he reformed.
,Justice Stewart then stated that the broad
power of a State to regulate narcotic drugs traf-
fic was not the issue. He mentioned that a State
might make it a crime to manufacture, pre-
scribe, sell, buy, or possess drugs without au-
thorization, and that addicts could be required
to submit to involuntary confinement for the
purpose of treatment. He even agreed that an
addict could be punished as a criminal for fail-
ure to comply with established compulsory

treatment under a civil proceeding, and sug-
gested that it would have been much more ap-
plicable in this case.
The point was also made that the law in ques-
tion might be considered valid were it construed
to mead that a defendant must, in order to have
been in violation, have actually, used narcotics
within the State. According to the Court, how-
ever, California courts had never required proof
of such acts. In Robinson's case there was evi-
dence that he had used narcotics while in Los
Angeles County. However, the jury was specifi-
cally instructed that they need not believe he
had done so. All they had to do in order to con-
vict him was to believe that he was addicted to
the use of narcotics at the time he was arrested.
The Court felt that the law, as it had been
interpreted by California courts, was not in-
tended to punish a person for the use, purchase,
or sale of narcotics, nor for any antisocial or
disorderly conduct resulting from their use. Nei-
ther did it purport to provide treatment, but
simply made the "status" of narcotic addiction
a criminal offense, of which a person could pre-
sumably be continually guilty. It was likened to
a hypothetical law which would make it a crime
to be mentally ill, to be a leper, or to have a
venereal disease.
Justice Stewart concluded with a reminder
that while the Curt is cognizant of the evils of
the narcotics traffic, it feels there are in existence
numerous legitimate ways to fight these evils
Without the use of a statute which was held to
be in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth
Amendments to the Constitution of the United
States.
A concurring opinion was written by Justice
William O. Douglas, who began with these
words, "While I join in the Court's opinion, I
wish to make more explicit the reasons why 1
think it is 'cruel and unusual punishment' in the
sense of the Eighth Amendment to treat as a
criminal a person who is a drug addict."
He then went further into the comparison
of drug addiction to mental illness, and traced
society's evolution in thinking regarding the
treatment of mental illness. He mentioned that
in England about five hundred years ago one
prescription for insanity was to beat the subject
(0mlinurd on /br NrAl 11are)
"until he had regained his reason." In early
America the violently insane were subjected to
the whipping post, put into dungeons, burned at
the stake, or hanged. Others were allowed to
roam the countryside like animals, and were
considered fair game for any sort of indignity
or cruelty anyone wished to inflict upon them.
In those days the consensus of opinion seemed
to be that the insane should be punished for
criminal acts in order to discourage others from
becoming insane.
Also mentioned were such ancient and out-
moded treatments for mental illness as dousing,
ducking, near drowning, spinning in 1 chair,
centrifugal swinging, and an early form of elec-
tric shock. The Justice placed them in the same
category a spurging, bleeding, induced vomit-
ing, and blistering, all popular at one time as
treatment for various physical disorders. He
seemed to feel that all the above treatments for
mental illness made just as much sense as a law
which would punish as a criminal a person who
had the illness of narcotics addiction.
The Justice cited several authorities to prove
that not only is narcotics addiction an illness, but
it is an illness which can be contracted innocent-
ly or unwittingly. In his words, "The first step
toward addiction may be as innocent as a boy's
puff on a cigarette in an alleyway. It may come
from a medical prescription. Addiction may
even be presented at birth." He then quoted an
article which had appeared in a New York news-
paper a few months earlier, desc: ibing the addic-
tion of babies born to addict mothers.
In reference to Section 5350 of the Welfare
and Institutions Code, Justice Douglas men-
tioned the fact that it provides for confinement
for at least ninety days, pursuant to a civil pro-
ceeding. He made the point that this is the same
as the jail sentence under the criminal statute,
and would therefore have had the same effect,
plus the provision for treatment, and without
the stigma of a criminal conviction.
Justice Douglas's opinion ends in this manner,
"This prosecution has no relationship to the
curing of an illness. Indeed, it cannot, for the
prosecution is aimed at penalizing an illness,
rather than with providing medical care for it.
We would forget the teachings of the Eighth

Amendment if we allowed sickness to be made a
crime and permitted sick people to be punished
for being sick. This age of enlightenment cannot
tolerate such barbarous action."
Justice John M. Harlan had a few thoughts
of his own on the issue, and he also wrote a con-
curring opinion. He did not fully agree with
his colleagues that narcotics addiction is neces-
sarily an illness, and must always be treated as
such. He stated that he did not consider it com-
pletely irrational and unconstitutional for a
State to conclude that such addiction is some-
thing other than illness, nor that it is cruel and
usual punishment to try and sentence addicts
under criminal law. His vote for a reversal was
apparently based solely upon the fact the trial
judge had instructed the jury that the defendant
could be found guilty on mere proof that he
was present in California while lie was addicted
to narcotics. He felt that since addiction
amounts only to a compelling desire to use nar-
cotics, the jury was being instructed to author-
ize criminal punishment for a bare desire to
commit a criminal act. In other words, a person
could be punished for being tempted, even if
he didn't yield to temptation.
The decision contained two dissenting opini-
ons, the first by Justice Tom C. Clark. He began
by stating flatly that he did not agree with the
majority in finding Section 11721 of the Cali-
fornia Health and Safety Code unconstitutional.
He maintained that the statute had not been ex-
amined in the proper perspective. He compli-
mented the State of California on its "compre-
hensive and enlightened program for the control
of narcoticism based on the overriding policy
of prevention and cure. He went on to tell of an
extensive investigation of California's narcotics
laws, made a few years ago by a committee ap-
pointed by the Attorney General. He felt that
this committee had apparently seen nothing
wrong with the section in question, since they
had made no recommendation that it be
changed.
The justice also raised a point regarding the
precise meaning of the word "addicted ". He
mentioned that the trial judge had instructed
the jury that the word, as used in section 11721,
meant to use habitually, rather than, as the
(Continued on the Next Page)
majority opinions claimed, merely having the
desire to use.
Justice Clark then pointed out that section
53 50 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, rec-
ommended by the majority as ideal for use in
Robinson's case, actually is to be used only in
cases where the subject has become addicted to
the point of losing self - control. Since there was
no evidence that Robinson's condition was that
extreme, the Justice argued that the State of
California could not have logically confined him
under the civil statute.
In support of the argument that Robinson
had not been unjustly tried under the criminal
statute, Justice Clark pointed out that the de-
fendant's behavior and attitude had been much
more indicative of criminal intent than of ill-
ness. He had fairly fresh needle marks on his
arms when arrested, and admitted to investigat-
ing officers that he had recently used narcotics.
At the trial, however, he testified that he had
never used narcotics. He claimed the needle
marks and scars were caused by inoculations ad-
ministered by doctors while he was in the mili-
tary service. Justice Clark apparently felt that
had the defendant been ill he would have ad-
mitted his condition and asked for help.
The justice ended his dissent with the argu-
ment that a jail sentence for narcotics addiction
could reasonably be considered a form of treat-
ment, since it would remove the subject from
temptation long enough for him to "kick the
liabit" if he really wished to do so. Therefore,
he claimed, it could not be considered as cruel
and unusual punishment. Even considered as
punishment, lie argued further, the ninety day
sentence in this case could not be considered un-
reasonable, when the civil proceedings recom-
mended by the majority provides for up to
twelve months confinement.
The second dissenting opinion was by Justice
Byron R. White. His dissent was based generally
upon the same grounds as that of Justice Clark.
However, he went further, and accused the Su-
preme Court of undue interference in an affair
which he believed should have been left to the
courts of the State involved. He claimed the de-
cision had removed California's power to deal
with the narcotics problem where there is ample
evidence of use, but no indication of the precise
so
location in which the drugs are used. He also
argued that serious doubt had been cast upon the
power of any State to make the use of narcotics
a crime, and predicted the States' powers would
have to be reaffirmed in some future case be-
fore the matter c o u l d be considered finally
settled.
Justice White ended his opinion with these
words: "I fail to see why the Court deems it
more appropriate to write into the Constitu-
tion its own abstract notions of how best to
handle the narcotics problem, for it obviously
cannot match either the States or Congress in
expert understanding."
The decision of the Supreme Court has na-
turally brought about a considerable change in
the manner in which narcotics violators are
prosecuted in California. Briefly, the procedure
is as follows. If there is sufficient evidence of
possession, sale, purchase, or an actual act of
use of narcotics, the defendant is tried in a
criminal court in the same manner as before.
However, if the only evidence against him is
that he is an addict, he is confined for treatment
under section 5350 of the Welfare and Institu-
tions Code, pursuant to a civil proceeding.
It is too earl}, to tell what effect this will have
upon the activities of those involved in the nar-
cotics traffic; whether it will result in more
persons, or fewer, becoming addicted to drugs.
No matter what happens, though, it will matter
little to Lawrence Robinson. Several months be-
fore the Supreme Court rendered its decision,
he was found dead in an alley. The cause of
death? An overdose of narcotics.

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

MODERN LAW ENFORCEMENT
INFORMATION PLEASE
AN CON Y
Until a decade ago individual officers in law
enforcement agencies seldom became well ac-
quainted with their colleagues in other.depart-
ments. This was true even when they operated
only a few miles apart. The department heads
may have met occasionally, but generally the
officers who did the actual work were con-
cerned only with the problems of their own de-
partments, and depended strictly upon official
communications and public news sources for
information about the activities of their neigh-
bors. Investigators from different agencies get-
ting together and discussing cases and mutual
problems on a man -to -man basis was something
that happened only by accident.
The ease and speed of modern automobile
travel has made it imperative that officers know

what is going on outside their own areas. A
criminal can strike in several counties in a
matter of hours. By pooling information and
bits of evidence collected at several crime scenes,
investigators can often learn enough about a
criminal to identify him and effect his arrest.
However, the collection of such information
via official channels is often a slow and cumber-
some process.
In an attempt to facilitate the exchange of
pertinent information, representatives f ro m
several law enforcement agencies met about ten
years ago and formed the Central San Joaquin
Valley Investigators Association: Two of the
best known and greatly respected investigators
in the State were pioneers in the movement, the

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

in western Fresno County attended an Associ-
ation meeting for the first time. There he heard
officers from Tulare County tell of having in
custody a burglary suspect with a very distinc-
tive M.O. Instead of breaking a window to enter
a building, he would carefully chip the putty
from a window frame, then remove the glass
in one piece. The officer had recently investi-
gated a burglary committed in that manner, but
had very little hope of solving it since he had
found little physical evidence. With information
obtained at the meeting, however, he went to
Visalia the next day, questioned the suspect, ob-
tained an admission to his crime, and closed his
case.
This year's slate of Association officers in-
cludes Richard Twitty of the Merced Police De-
partment, president; William Weaver, Fresno
County Sheriff's Department, Vice - president
and Velda Alexander of the Tulare County
Sheriff's Department, who has been secretary
since 19 S S. The Fresno County Sheriff's Depart-
ment has had the honor of filling the president's
chair twice, Lt. Ripperdan in 1955 and Dan
Conway in 1961.
The Association has been so successful that
several similar groups have been organized in
other sections of the State. In some of the more
heavily populated areas the groups are composed
of investigators specializing in certain types of
crimes, such as the Southern California Robbery
Investigators Association, the Northern Califor-
nia Burglary Investigators Association, and so
on.
The formation of such associations follows a
nationwide trend and is a product of the modern
philosophy of crime detection. The ace detective
who solves the most baffling cases entirely by his
own effort and skill is a thing of the past, if, in- `
deed, he ever existed at all except in fiction. The
investigator of today does not hesitate to either
render or request assistance.

Officers never cease to wonder at the excuses
parents can think of to justify the errors com-
mitted by their children. About the time an
officer decides he has heard them all, someone
comes up with a new one.
Not long ago two teenage boys were caught
after they had broken into an old - fashioned but
once elaborate house in north Fresno. In spite
of apparently incriminating circumstances, it
was difficult to prove they had actually intend-
ed to steal anything.
Grasping at this straw, the mother of one of
the culprits explained her son's action in this
manner. "My son plans to be an architect, and
that particular house has always fascinated him.
If he broke into it, I'm sure he did so just to
study the architectural design."
The investigating officers were kind enough
to refrain from asking the mother what her son
thought of the architectural design of Juvenile
Hall.

By HERMAN SAGHATELIAN
This year we begin what may become a regu-
lar feature of The Sheriff's Review; a salute to
a Fresno County peace officer who has done an
outstanding job of serving his fellow man. By
this we do not necessarily mean one who has been
an exceptional officer. We are more interested
in a peace officer who has distinguished himself
as a citizen; one who has shown enough concern
over the welfare of his neighbor, his community,
and his country that he has not hesitated to give
far more of himself than was officially required.
We did not have to search far or long; in order
to find someone whom we consider clegible for
this honor. The Sheriff's Review salutes David

Northern Division of the Southern District of
California.
David E. Hayden was born in Florence, Texas,
on October 2, 1897, When he was two years old
his mother passed away. Three years later, in
1902, his father was killed by a team of runaway
horses while saving the lives of two ladies. Yount;
Dave was reared by his grandparents and great
grandparents. When we hear the term, "U.S.
Marshal ", we usually think of a man wearing a
big hat and riding a horse. Dave is probably one
of the few marshals still in service who would
feel right at home thus attired and mounted. He
spent a major portion of his youth as a working
cowboy. (C n iniicd on the N(•xl Pu,(')
When the United States became involved in
World War I, Dave enlisted in the Navy. Upon
completion of training as a hospital corpsman,
he was assigned to the 2nd Battalion of the 6th
Regiment, U.S. Marines. Early in 1918 the unit
went to France. In June of that year, while in
combat at Belleau Woods, he was wounded.
After recuperating from his wounds he rejoined
his outfit at St. Mihiel.
On September 15th, 1918, while Dave's unit
was fighting in a fierce battle at Thiaucourt,
France, a Marine was critically wounded by a
sniper, and he fell in an open field which was
under heavy enemy machine gun fire. Ignoring
the danger, Dave brought the wounded man to
safety, and for his deed of valor received the
Congressional Medal of Honor. The full extent
of his bravery on this occasion can best be de-
scribed by quoting verbatim from the citation
which accompanied the award.
"Ill the name of the Congress, The Presi-
dent of the United States takes pleasure in
presenting the Medal of Honor to:
David E. Hayden, H.A. 1c, U.S.N.
For service during the World War as set
forth is the following:
Citation:
'For gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of
his life above and beyond the call of duty,
in action at Thiancourt, September 15,
1918, lvlth the 2nd Battalion, 6th Regt/nent,
U.S. Marines. Durnig the advance, when
Corporal Creed was wortally wounded
while crossing an open field swept by nia-
chilie gun fire, without hesitating, Hayden
rail to his assistalice, and finding him so
severely wounded as to require inzniediate
attention and disregarding personal safety,
dressed the wound under intense machine
gun fire, and then carried the wounded elan
back to a place of safety.'

Sgt. David E. Hayden in his
,Marine Corp uniform in 1920.
While in action at Champaigne, France, on
October 3, 1918, Dave was severely wounded by
shell fragments. He was hospitalized in France
for a while, then returned to the United States
for additional treatment. In July, 1920, he left
the Navy, and studied at the University of Cali-
fornia, Southern Branch, under a federal re-
habilitation program. He took a course in sales-
manship, and after leaving school held several
Jobs in the sales field. He worked in that capa-
city for a number of years for a major oil
company.
On January 15, 1934, he received an appoint-
ment as a Deputy United States Marshal. He
found his new duties to be many and varied. At
various times he handled such well known crimi-
nals as Bugsy Siegel, Dutch Kretzer, Clay Tol-
lett, Sam Scribner, and the infamous traitor,
"Meatball" Kawakita.
(Continued on the Next Page)
Once while he was transporting a prisoner by
train, the prisoner attacked him and slugged him
on the head, causing a severe gash and a mild
concussion. After a violent struggle, the prisoner
was subdued, and Dave continued on to his des-
tination and booked the prisoner before he
sought medical aid for his injuries.
Dave's superior is Marshal George E. O'Brien,
whose headquarters are at the District Office in
Los Angeles. Dave worked directly out of the
Los Angeles office prior to 1950, when he be-
came the Resident Deputy United States Marshal
in Fresno. His territory includes Merced, Mari-
posa, Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare, Kern, and
Inyo Counties. He is responsible for the trans-
portation of prisoners to various institutions, and
for their care and custody while in Federal
Court. He is also responsible for the service of
warrants of arrest for persons charged with
crimes against the Federal Government, and for
the service of all writs and other orders issued by
the Federal Court.
He works in close cooperation with other
agencies of the Federal Government, as well as
with local law enforcement agencies, in the pre-
vention and investigation of crimes, and the ap-
prehension of criminals.
A year or so ago, while working on an espio-
nage case with Col. Chein of the United States
Air Force, the colonel learned that Dave had
never been officially presented with the Con-
gressional Medal of Honor. Instead, it had been
sent to him by registered mail in November of
1920. Col. Chein and many of Dave's friends
brought the oversight to the attention of the
Navy Department, and arrangements were made
for an official presentation ceremony.
The ceremony was held on Armed Forces Day,
May 18, 1962, at the Elk's Club in Fresno. Rear
Admiral Frank Akers, Commander of Fleet Air,
Alameda Naval Air Station, made the official
presentation. This was a fitting tribute to a fine
and courageous man.
Those of us who have had the pleasure of
knowing and working with Dave Hayden, point
with pride and say, "There stands a man; GOOD
AMERICAN, GOOD PEACE OFFICER AND
GOOD FRIEND."

In searching through old files for material for
this edition of the Review, a copy of the Fres-
no Morning Republican, dated Saturday, June
6, 1925, was discovered. Its yellowed pages con-
tained many interesting bits of information
about the local problems of the day, and it was
of particular interest to your editor, since it was
published only about six months before he was
born. Activities of local law enforcement agen-
cies were well covered, and apparently the com-
plexion of the problems they faced hasn't
changed much in thirty -seven years.
The front page contained a feature article by

manpower in the Fresno Police Department.
The gist of the article was that in too many
instances detectives were assigned to routine po-
lice tasks, which should have been handled by
patrolmen. It was his contention that detectives
should spend their time investigating crimes
such as homicides, robberies, and burglaries, and
checking on the activities of known underworld
characters. Instead, he claimed, they were uti-
lized chiefly for serving search warrants and
checking on suspected illegal liquor and vice
operations, and when not so assigned, stayed at
headquarters waiting to be sent out on routine
calls, such as family disturbances, drunks, etc.

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

ACCENT ON MURDER
If we had to pick the most newsworthy type
of crime occurring in Fresno County during
1962, homicide would easily win. A total of fif-
teen homicides were investigated by the Sheriff's
Department and constables during the year. Of
the fifteen Judical Dstricts in the county, eight
had at least one homicide. The Fresno area had
the dubious honor of being first, with a total of
five. Riverdale, Fowler, and Reedley had two
each, and Firebaugh, Clovis, and Kerman one
each, while Ponderosa was the scene of an at-
tempt.
The year's parade of sudden death began in
East Mendota on Februarl 1st. About 1:00 a.m.
Deputy Constable Russell Long was notified that
there was a dead man at Perry's Camp. When he
arrived at the scene he found the body of a man
lying in an alleyway between two cabins. Death
had apparently been caused by numerous blows
to the head.

Papers found on the victim identified him as
Charley Kelly, a 53 year old itinerant farm lab-
orer. Later it was learned that his true name was
,Jimmy Hicks. Long and sheriff's detectives, who
had been called to assist, began questioning other
residents of the camp. They soon found a couple
who lived in a cabin near where the body was
found, who stated the victim and another man
who shared a cabin with him had been heard
arguing earlier in the evening. The other man
was identified as a Willie Trammell.
Trammell was located and questioned. He ad-
mitted he had found the body in the alley, before
Long arrived, but denied any further knowledge
of what had happened to the victim. He claimed
he had last seen Hicks alive several hours earlier
in a nearby pool hall, and that the victim was at
that time involved in a fight with another per-
son. He did admit that they had quarrelled a few

days earlier, over his insistence that Hicks move
out of the cabin.
The man who had fought with the victim in
the pool hall was located. He admitted Hicks
had pulled a knife on him, but stated he merely
took the knife away from him, and the incident
ended.
Meanwhile, officers searching the area found
what was believed to be the murder weapon, in a
cabin not far from the spot where the body was
found. In the best horror movie tradition, it was
a hatchet covered with blood. The owner claimed
he had been using the hatchet to kill turkeys, and
his story turned out to be true.
After the man in the pool hall fight was elimi-
nated as a suspect, and the bloody hatchet was
eliminated as the murder weapon, Willie Tram-
mell was questioned further. He admitted he and
the victim had quarrelled quite frequently dur-
ing the two or three months they had lived to-
gether, and, finally, he confessed that lie had
killed him. (Continued on the Next Page)

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

headquarters and told the camp boss, Buck Bon-

dead, since lie didn't answer when spoken to.
Deputy Constable Arnie Goble was notified.
When he arrived a few minutes later he was told
by other residents of the camp that the person
responsible for the killing was Hardy Washing-
ton Jr., a 39 year old resident of the camp who
had quite a reputation as a trouble maker. Goble
arrested Washington, and in searching him found
a brown handled pocket knife with blood on it.
He also noticed that both sleeves of Washing-
ton's jacket were stained with blood. When asked
about the incident, Washington would only say,
"I done it."
Goble, Constable Al Nestor, and Sheriff's De-
partment detectives assigned to the case tried to
question Washington and the other residents of

the camp about the details of the incident. How-
ever, no one living in the bunkhouse where the
killing had occurred was sober enough to make
sense. Most of them claimed they had been passed
out in their bunks at the time, and their condi-
tion indicated they probably were telling the
truth.
Washington was booked on suspicion of mur-
der, and nine possible witnesses were booked for
drunkenness, pending further questioning when
their condition had sufficiently improved. One,
Matthew Reshard, had a small cut which he
claimed had been inflicted by the suspect.
From other residents of the camp the officers
learned that Washington and Jones had quar-
relled the previous evening while eating dinner.
Washington had accused Jones of "rolling" him,
and taking seventeen dollars from him while he
was too drunk to know what was happening.

The argument had been renewed that morning
at breakfast. Washington had reportedly told
Tones, "I want my money today or else!" Jones
had then turned his pockets inside out, ajpd ex-
hibited ancempty wallet in an attempt to prove
that he did not have Washington's money.
The next day the suspect and the witnesses
were in a condition more conducive to question-
ing. The stories of the quarrels the night before
and on the morning of the crime were confirmed.
Reshard stated that he and a subject known only
as Glenn had spent the first part of the morning
drinking with Washington, the suspect having
supplied the jug. He had shared it willingly at
first, but later picked up the wine, and told them,
"Don't be fooling with my wine." He then
pulled a knife, and attacked them. Both received
small cuts, but Washington abandoned the at-
tack before any serious injury was inflicted.
Reshard described Washington as all right during
the week when he was sober, but mean every
weekend when drunk. Glenn had disappeared
from the camp before the crime was committed,
and could not be located for questioning.

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

fell to the floor, bleeding profusely. Washington
then got up, ran out the back door, went to the
cook house, played the jukebox, and tried to
act as if nothing had happened. He stayed there
until the body was found.
Washington entered a plea of guilty to a
charge of manslaughter, and was sentenced to
eight months in the custody of the sheriff.
The first homicide in the Fresno area occurred
on Monday, May 21st, at the Broken Spur, a
tavern at 4675 E. Belmont Avenue. The victim
was Eddie Carl Williams, a customer of the es-
tablishment, and the person responsible was
Charles Tracey, the owner.
The investigation disclosed that Williams, who
had been drinking elsewhere earlier in the even-
ing, went into the cafe shortly before 10:00
p.m. When he began to annoy other patrons
Tracey ordered him to leave. They argued, and,
according to witnesses, Tracey struck Williams
with his fist. Williams then threw a beer mug
at Tracey, striking him on the arm. Tracey took
a .22 caliber revolver from a drawer beneath the
bar, pointed it at Williams, and again ordered
him to leave. Williams then walked to the door,
and turned and said something else to Tracey.
Some witnesses said he had his hands .up at the
time. Tracey fired one shot, striking the victim
in the right side below the shoulder. He fell to
the floor, fatally wounded. Tracey calmly placed
the gun on the back bar and telephoned the
Sheriff's Department.
When questioned by investigating officers,
Tracey readily admitted having intentionally
fired the shot, but denied that he intended to kill
the victim. He also admitted that he and Wil-
liams had had trouble before, and on one occas-
sion had argued about an unpaid bar bill Wil-

Tracey was convicted of manslaughter, and
on August 6th was sentenced to ten months in
the county jail. On October 29th his probation
was modified, and he was released from custody.
A few days after the Tracey- Williams inci-
dent, Clovis became the scene of one of the more
bizarre murders of the year. The victim was SO
year old Myrtle Bertholf, the wife of the owner
of a Fresno tavern.
Mrs. Bertholf had spent the early part of the
evening of May 22nd at her husband's place of
business, and returned home alone about 8:00
p.m. Several times during the evening she and
her husband talked by telephone, as was their
custom, and when he called her shortly after
midnight she told him she was going to bed.
The husband arrived home about 2:30 a.m.,
but did not go immediately into the bedroom.
He stayed in the kitchen, eating and tallying his
day's receipts, until about 3:00. He th:,n entered

the bedroom, sat down on the edge of the bed,
and started to remove his shoes, when he sensed
something was wrong. Turning on the light, lie
was shocked to find his wife had been killed. She
lay face down on the bed, a man's handkerchief
twisted tightly around her throat.
Investigating officers found no sign of forced
entry, nor were there indications of a struggle.
They were unable to immediately establish a mo-
tive for the attack. The victim had been a quiet,
respected woman, and had no known enemies.
She had not been sexually assaulted, and although
there was a possibility a small sum of money was
missing from the house, robbery alone was not
indicated.
In questioning friends and relatives, officers
learned that the 13ertholfs had a 27 year old son,
Clinton, who had been living with them part of
the time since lie and his wife had separated some
time before.'He was described as somewhat men-
tally disturbed, and a habitual gambler. He had
tried to borrow money from a relative a short
time before for a trip to San Francisco which
was scheduled for that day.
A broadcast was put out immediately, and a
few hours later Clinton Betholf was arrested by
Fresno Police Department officers in the Grey-
hound Bus Depot in Fresno, where he had just
purchased a round trip ticket to San Francisco.
In response to questioning, the suspect stated
lie had left his parents' home early in the even-
ing, walked to Clovis, and spent the evening
gambling in various card rooms. About mid-
night he had left, walked to Fresno by a some -
what unusual route, and arrived at the bus depot
a short time before he was arrested. He denied
stopping at home enroute. When told he had
been arrested on suspicion of having murdered
his mother, he claimed that was the first he had
heard of her death, and he consented to submit
to a polygraph examination.
When officers examined the scene after day-
light they found several bits of evidence indicat-
ing Clinton had been there later than he claimed.
They questioned him repeatedly during the next
two days, but his story did not substantially
change.
On May 25th, the suspect stated that his mem-
ory had improved. He remembered that he had
stopped by the family home for a short time on
his way from Clovis to Fresno. He claimed he
had spent some time outside the house, trying to
decide whether or not to wake his mother and
ask her to give him a ride to Fresno, and that l,c
finally decided not to. However, he went into
the house to use the bathroom, and when he
walked by the door of his mother's bedroom she
awoke. According to him she then began to
reprimand him for gambling and not taking
proper care of the children. He claimed his
memory was still blank from that point on, and
that the next thing lie could remember was
walking toward Fresno several miles from the
house.
Following this admission, Clinton was taken
before Judge Kenneth Andreen of the Fresno
Municipal Court, and formally charged with
murder. For various reasons, including a court
ordered sanity examination which indicated he
was legally sane, the trial was postponed for
several months. During that time a sodium amy-
tal (truth serum) examination was administered,
with his permission. When questioned under the
influence of the drug he generally stuck to his
story of having blacked out, but made certain

remarks which indicated that he knew consider-
ably more than he would admit about the death
of his mother. He went so far as to admit that he
might have struck or strangled her, but claimed
he could not remember any such act.
On December 20th, Clinton Bertholf was tried
before a jury in Department Two of the Super-
ior, presided over by Judge Joseph Joy. He was
found guilty of murder in the second degree.
One week later lie was sentenced to state prison.
On June 23rd, the Riverdale area had its sec-
ond homicide of the year, the circumstances of
which were similar in many ways to the first. At
10:1 S p.m. on that date, word was received of
a disturbance at 3236 E. Riverdale Avenue, and
Constable Nestor and a sheriff's patrol unit went
to investigate. As is often the case on a disturb-
ance call, they found something of a much more
serious nature. The body of Albert Jett, a 53
year old farm worker, lay across his bed in an
old bus which had been converted into living
quarters. (Corttinved on the Next Page)

Among the persons present at the scene when
the officers arrived was Fred Lee Jr., another lab-
orer who had shared Jett's makeshift quarters.
Lee readily admitted having struck the victim
with a wine bottle about three hours earlier. He,
Jett, and the other laborers living there had been
paid that afternoon, and had celebrated pay day
in the traditional manner. Early in the evening,
Jett had struck Lee on the head with a wine bot-
tle, inflicting superficial cuts. Other residents of
the camp administered first aid, and a half hour
later the two roommates resumed their drinking
together, apparently with no hard feelings on
either side.
A little later, however, Lee decided, apparent-
ly as a matter of principle, that the thing to do
was to avenge the blow. He therefore struck Jett
a hard blow on the left side of the forehead. The
victim lost a lot of blood, and Lee called in a
neighbor to help wash the wound, and try to stop
the bleeding. Treatment was interrupted fre-
quently for purposes of refreshment, all three
drinking from the same bottle. Suddenly Jett
fell across the bed. The avenging blow had ap-

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

ever, he suddenly became worse, and they took

Crawford admitted he had been quite severe
in punishing the child, but denied that he really
intended to harm him. There were indications
that this occasion was not the first time the sus-
pect had lost his temper and punished the child
much more severely than was necessary.
The suspect was booked on suspicion of mur-
der, and arraigned in the Fowler Justice Court.
The trial was delayed until early this year, A

jury found him guilty of murder in the second
degree. Probation was denied, and he was sen-
tenced to state prison.
The next tragic crime on our list occurred in
the Reedley area on the night of August 8th.
The series of events leading up to it began early
that evening when Gary Farina, a 19 year old
student from the San Francisco Bay area, and a
young Fresno girl went swimming at Avocado
Lake. Shortly after dark, as they were preparing
to leave the lake, they were accosted by a man
who stepped out of the shadows armed with a
.22 rifle. He told them he needed a ride to Squaw
Valley, and that they would not be hurt if they
did as he said. He at first said he would tie them
and take Farina's car, but changed his mind when
Farina promised to take him where he wanted
to go without any trouble. All three got into the
car, and, with the unwelcome passenger giving
directions, Farina drove to Piedra, turned right
onto the road to Highway 180, and when he
reached that road turned left toward Kings Can-
yon National Park. They proceeded several miles,
then the man decided they were above Squaw
Valley, and ordered Farina to turn around. They
then drove around in the foothill area for anoth-

er hour or so, the captor apparently unable to
make up his mind where he wanted to go. Just
before midnight, as they were approaching
Orange cove, he ordered a halt. He tied the
hands of his victims with black adhesive tape,
then took the wheel himself. He told them he
would let them go, and that he would be far
away by the time they could notify the police.
He had been polite and friendly, though quiet,
during the ride, and in answer to a question had
admitted he was wanted by the police, but de-
clined to state the nature of the charge.
Instead of letting them out in Orange Cove
as he had promised, the kidnapper drove on
through town, started in the general direction
of Reedley, and parked at the roadside on `,Ita
Avenue near Manning. He then ordered them
both out of the car. The girl asked if she could
stay, calling his attention to the puncture burrs
on the road, and pointing out that she was bare-
foot. The stranger agreed, and leaving her in
the car, he walked into a nearby orchard, Farina
walking just ahead with the rifle muzzle at his
back. (Continued on the Next Page)

A moment after they had disappeared into
the darkness the girl heard a shot. She was mak-
ing an unsuccessful attempt to start the car when
the man came running back, alone. He tried to
open the door on the driver's side, but it was
locked. He smashed the window with the rifle
butt, and as he did so the girl opened the opposite
door and ran. He chased her, and as she stumbled
and fell, he struck her on the head with the rifle,
inflicting a deep cut. She managed to get up and
run again, receiving another blow from the gun
as she did so. A car came by, and she screamed
and tried to flag it down. For an agonizing mo-
ment it appeared the driver would ignore her,
but he stopped, backed up, and let her into the
car. The suspect disappeared.
The motorist took the girl to a nearby farm-
house, and Constable Martin was advised. He
and Deputy Preheim arrived a few minutes later,
checked the scene, and found Farina lying in the
orchard a few yards from the road, still alive but
severely wounded. He died shortly after arrival

way Patrol and Tulare County officers, spent
the remainder of the night and most of the next
day searching the area. Officers checking Avo
cado Lake found an abandoned car, which sub-
sequent investigation revealed had been stolen in
Kern County a few days earlier.
Early the next evening a man was picked up
near Tipton by a Tulare County deputy sheriff.
He was carrying something wrapped in a coat,
and it turned out to be a .22 rifle with the butt
broken off. His description matched that fur-
nished by the kidnapped girl, and he was turned
over to the Fresno County authorities for ques-
tioning.
The man in custody was identified as Herman
Yvonne Risenhoover, a 35 year old ex- convict
and former mental patient. He denied any
knowledge of the crime until after he was identi-
fied by residents of the Dunlap and Squaw Val-
ley area as the man who had been seen there
several times during the previous few days, driv-
ing the car which had been found at Avocado
Lake. He then admitted the kidnapping and
murder. He was quite cooperative with the in-
vestigators after he had made the admission.

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

When Bufkin arrived at the McCauley home
he found his uncle still quarreling with his wife
and other members of the family. He tried to
talk to him, but McCauley refused to listen, and
ordered him to leave and mind his own business.
Bufkin then took the older man by the arm and
practically carried him into the house. He led
him into the bedroom and tried to get him to lie
down, but McCauley refused. Bufkin went back
outside, and McCauley followed. Again Bufkin
took him inside, threw him onto the bed, and
went outside again. Mrs. McCauley then went
to the bedroom door and tried to reason with
her husband. She saw him go to the closet door
and pick up a shotgun, and she yelled, " He's got
the gun."
When Bufkin heard the cry he ran to the bed-
room door and stepped inside. McCauley raised
the gun, held it at the level of his hip, and fired
one shot. The charge struck Bufkin in the chest.
He died almost instantly.

Constable Henry Wulf, Deputy Constable
Gene Petrucelli, and sheriff's detectives investi-
gated the shooting. McCauley claimed he had
fired in self defense, and did not intend to kill
his nephew. He said he had aimed at the arm.
He explained that his back had been injured
when Bufkin had thrown him across the bed a
few minutes earlier, and he was afraid he would
be injured again.
McCauley was taken to the County Hospital
for an examination, and it was found that he
did have a recently fractured vertebra. No doubt
this was an important factor in the decision to
file a manslaughter complaint instead of charg-
ing him with murder.
On November 19, McCauley was convicted of
involuntary manslaughter. He was put on pro-
bation for five years, and committed to the cus-
tody of the sheriff for one year.

At about 2:30 a.m. on August 30th, there
was a knock on the door of the Lawrence W.
Taylor home on the outskirts of Fresno. Taylor
and his wife both went to the door, and were
accosted by a man who demanded that they sell
him some wine. Two other men and two women
waited in a car which had been parked just a few
feet from the doorstep. Taylor told the visitor
he did not sell wine, and ordered him to leave.
The man then reached in the door, grabbed Mrs.
Taylor, and dragged her outside. At least two of
the people in the car jumped out and attacked
her, pulling her hair and beating and kicking her.
Taylor ran back into the bedroom and re-
turned with a 12 gauge shotgun. By that time,
Mrs. Taylor had managed to free herself. Taylor
pointed the gun at the man in the driver's seat,
believed to be the subject who had first come to
the door, and ordered them to leave. The man
picked up a short length of iron pipe f rom the
floor of the car, and started to climb out. Taylor
fired, the charge entering the car at the left front
wind wing, and striking the man in the neck.
He slumped over in the seat, fatally wounded,
while his companions fled on foot.
When investigating officers arrived at the
scene a few moments later they rounded up the

A shotgun blast made this hole before
Penetrating the neck of the unwelcome
visitor at the Lawrence Taylor home,
victim's companions, and took them and the
Taylors to the office for questioning. Taylor
claimed he had intended to fire over the top of
the car to frighten the unwelcome visitors away,
but stated he had stumbled as he fired, causing
him to shoot lower than he had intended.
Since the stories of the dead man's companions
corroborated Taylor's explanation of the events
leading up to the shooting, it is doubtful if
criminal charges would have been filed even if he
had admitted shooting Gunter purposely. The
killing was ruled a justifiable homicide, and Tay-
lor was not held.
The favorite locale for homicide last year
seemed to be farm labor camps. On September
12th, Mark Swafford, a 54 year old farm laborer

36 year old wife, Blanche.
The couple and her five children by a previous
marriage had spent the day working in the fig
harvest. The adults had consumed several cans
of beer during the day, and on the way home
from work stopped at the store and bought more
beer, which they drank during the evening.
Sometime after dinner, a quarrel developed
over whether the children should be enrolled in
school, or kept at home to help pick figs. Mrs.
Swafford threatened to leave and return to her
former home in Kern County. She told her hus-
band that if he would give her twenty -five dol-
lars for bus fare for her and the children, he
could have all the money owed them for picking

figs. He refused, and he left the camp on foot,
walking in the direction of the store.
Mrs. Swafford sent the two older children
after him to ask him again for the money. He
again refused with an obscene remark. The
children returned and told their mother what
he had said. She then picked up two knives, re-
marked, This is going to be a fair fight," and
drove away in the family car.
A short time after she left her husband re-
turned with a brother -in -law who also lived in
the camp. The two men sat in the brother -in-
law's car some distance from camp and drank
a bottle of wine. After a while, Mrs. Swafford

in the sand on a ditch bank.
By that time her husband had returned to the
immediate vicinity of the cabin, and the quarrel
was renewed. As they became increasingly bitter,
they started actually fighting, and she slashed at
him several times with the knife, stabbing him
four times in the legs. He was unarmed, the other
knife, which she had apparently intended to give
him in order to make it a fair fight, was found
later in the stalled car.
During the fight Swafford collapsed. The sus-
pect ceased her wild slashing, and her son and
a nephew carried the victim into the cabin and
laid him on the floor. The son then began trying
to find someone to call an ambulance, but the
first people he talked to refused to become in-
volved, and it was several minutes before the
call was made. When sheriff's patrol officers and
the ambulance arrived a short time later, they
found the victim still alive, but very weak from
loss of blood. He died enroute to the hospital.
Mrs. Swafford was arrested on suspicion of
murder, and her children turned over to her
sister. The suspect offered little in the way of an
explanation for her act. Her only attempt at
justification was a statement that the victim had
mistreated her in the past. Her only denials were
that she had taken two knives when she left the
cabin, and that she had made any remarks about
making it a fair fight.
On November 13th, Blanche Swafford was
convicted of manslaughter, and was sentenced to
one year in the county jail.
On September 13, the Ponderosa Judicial Dis-
trict, comprising the communities of Auberry,
Tollhouse and the northeast corner of the coun-
ty, had an attempted murder. It was originally
reported by Edward Glaspie of Fresno as an
accidental gunshot wound, and at the time the
report was made there was no indication of any
more serious incident.
A few days later, however, Constable Jack
Sturges and Deputy Constable Dick Smith were
called to investigate the burglary of a cabin at
Meadow Lakes. They learned that Glaspie was
a likely suspect, and picked him up for question-
ing. They learned that the burglary had been
committed by Glaspie and several companions,
and that after entering the cabin the gang had

stayed there for some time, drinking and making

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

The Reedley area had its second homicide on
September 15. The circumstances and outcome
were decidedly different from the first. The vic-
tim was Dale H. Underwood, who was shot in
the Tivy Valley home of his estranged wife by
Thomas Cogdill of Selma.
Cogdill and his brother had gone to the home
to see the victim's daughter. She was not at
home, and the mother invited them in to wait.
Several other guests were present, and there were
not enough chairs, so Cogdill squatted by the
door. A short time after the brothers had arrived
Underwood walked in, uninvited, with a small
revolver in his hand. He and Cogdill had never
seen nor heard of each other before, so Under-
wood was apparently picking a possible victim
at random as he placed the muzzle of the gun at
Cogdill's head, and announced, "The party's
over.
Cogdill grabbed Underwood's hand, and the
two wrestled for control of the gun. During the
struggle they moved from the living room to the
kitchen, where Cogdill finally managed to take
the gun away. He backed away then, but Under-
wood kept pressing him, kicking him and trying
to regain possession of the gun. Cogdill pointed
the gun at his attacker, who paid no attention,
and Cogdill fired.
Underwood fell to the floor. Cogdill fled from
the scene with his brother and the girl who had
accompanied them, taking the pistol.
An ambulance was called for the victim, and
Constable Martin and Deputy Preheim were
notified. Underwood was dead on arrival at the
County Hospital.

Meanwhile, Cogdill and his companions had

where Cogdill surrendered to the Police Depart-
ment. He was picked up there by sheriff's detec-
tives a short time later, and brought to head-
quarters where a formal statement was taken.
Since the homicide was obviously justifiable,
under the circumstances, no charges were filed.
The second homicide for the Fowler area oc-
curred on the evening of Thanksgiving Day.
The victim was John L. Khan, a 3 5 year old

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

The last homicide case of the year came to the
attention of the department on December 30,
when residents of the Annadale and Peach neigh-
borhood found the nude body of a woman lying
in a vineyard at that intersection. Death had been
caused by blows to the head with an unknown
weapon. The victim was identified by finger-
prints on file in the Sheriff's Department Identi-
fication Bureau as Patricia Carmen Wray. She
was well known around the taverns of West
Fresno, and investigating officers were able to
locate several persons who remembered having
seen her the night before the body was found.

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

One of the bandits pointed a .22 caliber rifle
at the attendant and demanded the money from
the cash box. The loot amounted to slightly over
a hundred dollars.
Constable Bentley, the Selma Police Depart-
ment, and sheriff's officers cooperated in the in-
vestigation. Two of the suspects were identified
as Fred Weston Foston and Orville Ellis. After
they were arrested, it was learned the pickup
truck had been stolen from Fresno. The pair had
also been involved in a robbery in the city of
Selma and a second auto theft in the city of
Fresno. The suspects were turned over to the
Selma Police Department for prosecution, since
their case seemed the more serious.
Over in Parlier, Chief Frank Buchanan had an
assault, which for a time appeared to be a homi-
cide. The victim, Jesse White, was sitting in the
car with his wife in front of a Parlier pool hall
on the evening of September 22nd. Two 18 year
old youths, Johnny A. Garcia and Tony Estrada,
walked by, and for a reason which was never
made quite clear, became involved in a fight with
White. After fighting a while with their fists
the two youths ran into the pool hall and re-
turned with cue sticks which they used as wea-
pons.
Someone called the Parlier Police Department,
but before the officers arrived the fight stopped.
White went to the County Hospital for treat-
ment of a fractured elbow. As he was being pre-
pared for surgery he died.

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

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

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

played a very important role in the search for
and rescue of persons lost or injured in inacces-
sible mountain areas. Those of us who have been
here a while can remember when the search for
a lost hunter or fisherman almost invariably
meant long hours or days in the saddle or on the
foot trails. It was frustrating, exhausting, and
sometimes dangerous work. It takes a long time
to search a mountainside when you can see only
a few yards in either direction. As hard as these
missions are on the searchers, the time required
for completion is even more difficult for the
anxious family of the victim, to say nothing of
the anguish suffered by him.
The Posse and the Air Squadron have always
rendered valuable assistance in such instances.
However the Possee is just as limited as the regu-
lar ground party, and an airplane, while it is
often very effective, is also limited by the speed
and altitude it must maintain. It is difficult for

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

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

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

3. Where it has been similarly demonstrated that
the patient, while capable of leading a useful
and relatively normal life when a certain mini-
mum dose is regularly administered, becomes in-
capable of this when the drug is entirely discon-
tinued.
The Doctor is to give such a patient a. mini-
mum dose and must see him at least once a week,
supplying the patient with enough heroin to last
him the week or iinril his next visit.
It is further stated that the patient should be
induced to enter a nursing home —I# he refuses,
the Doctor must attempt a cure by judicious
reduction of the dose. He should be seen fre-
quently; be under sufficient control and have
the addict adhere to the treatment prescribed.
I quote further: "However, such patients are
essentially unreliable and will frequently en --
deavor to supplement their supply of drugs. In
such cases the Doctor has an onerous decision to
make regarding whether or not to drop the case,
and should consult another (Doctor) for an
opinion, protecting the practitioner from in-
quiries by the Home Office ".
Great Britain's report to the United Nations
(1957) on the working of the International
Treaties on narcotic drugs was in the form of
answers to numerous questions. Many of these
questions were answered with such statements
as "Nothing To Report ", "No cases came to the
knowledge of H. M. Government" and "There
has been no change in supervision of persons
authorized to possess and supply dangerous
drugs ", however the following information is
reported:
Under "Abuse of Drugs" (specifying manu-
factured drugs) it is stated that morphine is
mainly used by addicts. There are no State Insti-
tutions specializing in the problems of drug ad-
diction, but treatment can be obtained at a'
number of private nursing homes primarily con-
cerned with alcoholics. There is no compulsory
treatment of drug addicts in the United King-
dom. The treatment of a patient is considered
to be a matter for the Doctor concerned. The
nature of the treatment varies with the circum-
stances of each case.
There is no compulsory registration of drug
addicts in the United Kingdom nor is addiction
compulsorily notifiable. An official record is
(Conlimied on the Nest Page)
kept of all cases of drug addiction which come
to the notice of the Control Authority. It is be-
lieved that most cases of addiction do come to
notice (so says the Report) .
The Report adds: "As drug addiction is not
a serious problem in the United Kingdom there
has been no justification for seeking powers to
obtain detailed information about the small
number of known addicts and accordingly not
all the information required to answer every
question in this paragraph is available."
Her Majesty's Government was able to come
up with these figures: 90 cases of addiction were
reported during the year. 84 of these were new
cases, 6 were repeaters. 149 addicts use mor-
phine, 74 pethidine, 54 diacetylmorphine, 20
methadone and 44 addicts used combinations of
cocaine morphine and pethidine. The number
of known addicts to manufactured drugs in the
United Kingdom in 1957 was 359. "There is
very little illicit traffic in manufactured drugs"
and "No other sources of supply have come to
notice ". "Reliable information as to the origin
of addiction in these cases is not available ".
"There are 174 male and 185 female addicts.
Detailed information about age groupings is not
available but the majority of addicts are over 30
years of age ". Included in the 3 59 known addicts
to manufactured drugs are: 70 doctors, 2 den-
tists, 1 pharmacist and 15 nurses.
Additional answers listed by Great Britain in-
clude: "The addict who is also a "pusher" is
seldom encountered in the United Kingdom,
though on occasions an addict may procure more
than his own requirements in order to supply
his friends." "Reliable information as to the
number of addicts having no apparent means
of livelihood is not available ", and "no occupa-
tional groups of significance have come to notice
but a small number of jazz musicians are known
addicts ". There were 9 convictions for offenses
involving opium in 1957. Offenders were all
males of Chinese, Indian or Pakistani origin. One
offender was sentenced to 6 months, the others
fined amounts varying from $2.08 to $140.00.
There were 51 convictions for unlawful posses-
sion of cannabis and these were mostly Asiatics,
Africans or West Indians. Approximately 60%
occurred in the London Metropolitan Police Dis-

trict. Sentences ranged from 14 days to 4 years
imprisonment and fines from $8.04 to $70.00.
In 1957 there were 30 persons convicted of of-
fenses involving manufactured drugs; mostly
addicts who forged prescriptions or by getting
supplies from more than one doctor at a time —
mostly British subjects of European origin.
"There is no reliable information regarding
the price of drugs sold illicitly."
"There is no significant information regard-
ing the methods used by traffickers."
"Her Majesty's Government have no sugges-
tions to offer about international co- operation
in the supervision of illicit traffic."
Such reports from the British Government
show only those addicts "known to the author-
ities". Twenty -five per cent are in professional
classes. Opium and hashish addicts are not re-
ported. The British Government is a party to
all the international narcotic conventions to
which the United States is a party. They enforce
treaties in the same manner as the United States.
The British and United States systems for en-
forcing narcotic laws are exactly the same.
A few people have spread through the length
and breadth of this land an impression that in
England there is some magic afoot which is the
key to the narcotic control problem.
Their system of law enforcement does not
diverge too greatly from that of this country
and Canada. What will produce good law en-
forcement for England will not necessarily pro-
duce good law enforcement in the United States.
We have read that some of the English police are
considering carrying guns, but generally they
do not. There were 38 homicides in London last
year. In Chicago with half the population there
were 262. This point could be labored in a com-
parison of practically every type of crime be
tween the countries. Canada has the same rate
of addiction as the United States yet British and
Canadian law are the same.
In Hong Kong were opium is sold by the
Government to addicts having no medical need,
only 800 applied for legal opium as compared
with 68,000 addicts who obtained drugs from
illicit sources.
During and after the year 1919, forty -four
or more Narcotic Clinics were opened by Muni-
cipal or State Health officials in large cities
(Conlimrrd on the Nc.%t Pa,c)
throughout the United States in an experiment
which it was thought might present a simple and
easy solution of narcotic drug addiction (it is
interesting to note that the "Noble Experiment ",
National Prohibition, went into effect at this
same time our Country decided to outlaw drink-
ing and to supply practically free dope to our
citizens) . Drugs were sold to addicts at prices
as low as two cents a grain.
In a 1 -year period in the early 1920's when
these Clinics were in operation, the volume of
illicit peddling of narcotics reached the point
where an incredibly large amount of 71,151
ounces of narcotic drugs was seized in the do-
mestic illicit traffic — or iiiore than 14 times
as was seized in 1952. In New York State alone,
when 16 or more narcotic clinics were in oper-
ation throughout the State, almost 4,000 ounces
of narcotic drugs were seized in illicit channels
during a year — or almost as much as was seized
in the entire United States during 1952.
In 1920, the number of drug addicts received
at Sing Sing increased over 100%. In 1922 the
number of addicts entering Sing Sing increased
over 500% and in 1923 the increase was over
900 %. This was the "Clinic Era ". In 1952 only
7.8% of prisoners committed to Federal Institu-
tions were narcotic addicts.
From an official report of the Bureau of Pub-
lic Health, New York City, dated February
1920, the following is noted:
"The arrest of several trafficking physicians
and druggists in the spring of 1919 for violating
the narcotic laws caused the Department of
Health to open a relief clinic. We have given
the clinic a careful and thorough as well as
lengthy trial and we honestly believe it is unwise
to maintain it longer."
"70% of the addicts in our clinic are young
people (9% in the 15 -19 age group) and we ar-
rived at the conclusion that the acquirement of
this habit is incident to bad associates and a weak
vacillating disposition. Being with companions
who have those habits, they, in their curiosity,
give it a trial.
"Habits usually only affect the individual,
but in drug addiction, indulgence appears to
react on the community. The effect on the
community is evidenced by debauching of its

citizenry, by increase in c r i m e and antisocial
vices. It spreads like a pestilential disease."
"Our opinion is that this habit is not a mys-
terious disease. Drug addiction is simply a de-
grading, debasing habit, and it is not necessary
to consider this indulgence in any other light
than an antisocial one, and that those who are
charged with correcting and preventing such
tendencies should be stimulated to do so. Drug
addiction, per se, is not a disease, nor to be so
regarded any more than excessive indulgence in
cigarettes.
"Many addicts endeavored to get from the
Clinic actually more than they themselves
needed. Non - addicts would go through regis-
tration and examination in order to obtain the
drug to sell to addicts."
"Ambulatory treatment is farcical and use-
less and is only putting off what should be im-
mediately done. Physicians should not be per-
mitted, under guise of treatment, to prescribe
narcotics for such indulgence. Laws should be
so amended that the addict should be sent by due
process of committment to a suitable institution
and held there until a medical officer considers
it safe for him to return to society.
"Absolute control of the addict in preventing
renewal of supply is the essential factor. The ad-
dict that can be cured by ambulatory treatment
is the rare exception and so unusual as to make
one think it impossible. The clinic is not the
solution."
This was the thinking of nearly 40 years ago,
and like all basic truths, does not change with
time.
During this same period, the Chairman of the
Medical Society of New York stated: "All look
upon the New York Clinic as a positive demon-
stration that addicts must be under institutional'
control or any other kind of absolute control.
The only hope is cutting off the supply of drugs
as completely as possible. Therefore, no public
clinics."
The following are excerpts from press reports
for the year 1920:
"Clinics encourages illegal traffic. A public
dispensary does not tend to get rid of peddlers.
It does not supply the drug ad libitum and so
encourages the traffic of peddlers by keeping up
the demand." (Continued on the Next Page)
"Suffering caused by deprivation is not as
severe as it may appear and is of short duration."
"A dispensary does not tend to prevent petty
crime by addicts. The surest way to prevent
crimes arising from an addicts craving for drugs
is to cure the addict and remove the craving."
The Los Angeles Examiner: "The municipal
narcotic clinics of both Los Angeles and San
Diego have been ordered closed and finally the
wholesale traffic in dope which has been carried
on by the municipal clinic for half a year will be
a thing of the past. All clinics should, and they
will be closed. Thcv are indefensible from either
a legal or a moral viewpoint."
From the State of California Pharm3CCUCICaI
Society in May, 1920: "Narcotic clinics will
never be successful."
From San Diego, a Doctor Thomas, who was
in charge of the Clinic states: "Cures would not
result from the clinic treatment. The only cure
is institutional treatment or placing the addict
under restraint."
The Chief of Police of San Diego: "Since the
clinic was created in San Diego there were twice
as many addicts in the city as there were before."
Reports from Los Angeles: "Addict No. 101
received increasing dosages from the clinic and
in addition purchased a dram a week from ped-
dlers. Addict No. 131 an actor, addicted to mor-
phinc for 10 years obtained enough to give a
fellow actor 6 grains daily. The clinic only
touched about 30% of the addicts and the other
70% would not present themselves at a public
clinic."
Mr. M. L. Harney, Superintendent, Division
of Narcotic Control, State of Illinois, in his re-
marks at a symposium on drug addiction prob-
lems in March of this year, observed that in
vast areas of this Country addiction has not re-
occurred in any consequential amount as com-
pared with the situation dating back some fifty
to sixty years ago, however, he does state there
are spotty areas where addiction is far above the
national average. In these areas, a multitude of
social and economic factors cloud the picture
and the problem is so large that its mere volume
contributes to a paralysis in dealing with it. But,
in these areas, we-have not had as yet, an effec-
tive, across the board law enforcement program

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

April 4, 1927. This was the starting of a career
that has spanned over 36 years of dedicated serv-
ice to traffic law enforcement by Captain Ray
Salmon of the California Highway Patrol.
When Ray started to work in traffic law
enforcement it was before the California High-
way Patrol was even created. That time is now
referred to as the "Old County Days ". Actually
the officers were under a dual control system.
The County had the responsibility of hiring and
firing and the State did the supervising.
Ray went to work under Captain W. L. Mc-
Carty. Including two resident officers, Jack
Tarkington in Coalinga and Joe Masini in Fire -
baugh, there were only nine Patrolmen under
Captain McCarty.
One of the primary requirements to become
a Patrolman in those days was that you owned
your own motorcycle. At that time you had to
furnish your own transportation. Even the offi-
cers' personal cars were equipped with red light
and siren, so they could be used on occasions;
however the cost to the officer kept him from
using his car on routine patrol.
One of the many obstacles that presented' it-
self then was the method of communication.
Radios were not in use. To get in touch with an
officer on the beat, they had what was known
as Flag Stations. They would call this place by

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

September 15, 1961, brought the first revision
of the Juvenile Court Law in fort), years. The
new statutes would necessarily place an added
burden on the Juvenile Court by causing to
come before the Court cases hitherto handled
by other jurisdictions. In anticipation of in-
creased court calendars, the legislation provided
for the appointment of one or more full or part
time referees in counties having need of such
services. Section S S 3 of the Welfare and Institu-
tions Code provides the requirements for the
position of referee; ".... or have had at least
five years experience in probation work at the
supervising level ... "
In accordance with consideration of need, and
in compliance with the provisions of the law,
a Minute Order dated October 31, 1962 was
issued by the Honorable Matt Goldstein, at that
time Presiding Judge of the Juvenile Court, ap-
pointing Frank L. Bailey to the position of Ref-
eree of the Juvenile Court. The order had the
unanimous approval of the Superior Court
Judges of the County of Fresno.
Mr. Bailey assumed the duties of Referee on
November 16, 1962, thereby adding a milestone

to the history of juvenile law in this county. On
November 19 lie was appointed as a Traffic
Hearing Officer, a step taken to insure maxi-
mum efficiency in handling traffic cases of all
types.
The Referee's office and hearing room are
both located at the Fresno County Juvenile
Hall, in close proximity to the Juvenile Court.
While many of these matters are Custody Hear-
ings (determining the disposition of the juven-
ile offender prior to the pending Juvenile Court
action) , the Referee also hears traffic matters,
as well as violations of a criminal nature (in-
cluding felonies) , and dependent cases.
While conducting a hearing as the Traffic
Hearing Officer, Mr. Bailey's actions are limited
in imposing penalties. He may:
1. Impose a fins: not to exceed $25.00.
2. Suspend a drivers license not to exceed six
months.
3. Grant probation not to exceed six months.
The actions may be taken on each citation
the juvenile may have incurred.
The action which may be taken by the Ref-
eree is broad in scope, and includes granting of
probation status, placing the offender on the
Juvenile Court Work Program, or in situations
of a more serious nature lie may commit the
juvenile to the California Youth Authority.
However, any decision which would remove
the juvenile from the physical custody of his
parents must be approved by the Presiding Judge
of the Juvenile Court.
At any time prior to the expiration of ten
days after the service of a written copy of the
Referee's findings to the parent or guardian of
the juvenile, said parent or guardian may apply

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

Primitive man had his club and spear, the
early American soldier his musket, and the
World War II GI his M -1 and bazooka. Now
one of the most effective weapons is the Polaris
missile, which is fired from a submerged sub-
marine and can hit a target several hundred miles
away.
All of these weapons had their advantages and
limitations, but it is doubtful if any was as ef-
fective in sheer surprise, not only to the victim
but to the user as well, as one developed acci-
dentally by members of the Sheriff's Under-
water Rescue and Recovery unit.
A few members of the group were at Avocado
Lake on a practice mission, when they discovered
a fifty gallon steel drum submerged under sev-
eral feet of water. Partially for purposes of prac-
tice, and partially out of mere curiosity, the),
decided to salvage the barrel.
Naturally they could not lift it to the surface,
since it was full of water. After a few dives to
survey the problem, they decided to pump air
into the barrel to force the water out and make
it buoyant. Tile air pump, situated several feet
away on the shore was cranked up, and a hose
inserted in the bunghole of the barrel.
The divers retired to the shore to await devel-
opments. It soon became apparent that a great
deal of air would be nec:ssary to effect the sal-
vage, since the barrel was partially buried in
mud.
Meanwhile, a fisherman in an aluminum boat
a few yards from the scene noticed the bubbles
coming to the surface. Becoming curious, he
moved over for a closer look, and maneuvered
his craft to a spot directly over the submerged
barrel.

The instant he attained that position, the mud
lost its grip, as if it were launched by rocket
power, the barrel popped to the surface. That is,
it popped almost to the surface. Enroute it
struck the aluminum boat squarely on the keel,
thoroughly frightening the occupant, and leav-
ing the divers momentarily speechless.
Fortunately, no serious harm was done. As
soon as the boatman recovered his wits, he saw
the humor in the incident, and realized his own
curiosity had been a contributing factor. There
was considerable damage to the man's boat, but
it was covered by insurance.

LOST
&
F

Rescue operations usually make a good story,
and there have been years when we have had
several major searches to write about. In 1962,
however, there was not a great deal of activity
in that field. There were a few lost hikers and
deer hunters in the mountain areas, and, as usual,
there were several drownings. However, there
was nothing of a really spectacular nature.
The first rescue operation of the year was the
search on March 22nd for a Fresno man believed
lost in the Mill Creek area above the Kings River.
It ended before it really began, however. The
man had been reported lost by his hunting part-
ner when he failed to return to camp as planned
on the afternoon of the 21st.
By the time word was relayed to the Sheriff's
Department, darkness had fallen and it was de-
cided to begin the search early the next morning.
When the search party reached the hunters'
camp they learned the lost man had returned
safely. He had ridden his horse into a gully too
steep to ride out of, and had started to camp on
foot. When darkness overtook him about three
miles from camp, he wisely made himself as com-
fortable as possible and waited until morning.
Early in May an extensive search was con-
ducted for the body of a six year old boy who
was drowned in a canal at Chestnut and Jensen
Avenues. This drowning had first come to the
(C'rrntinned on the Nv.%1 Page)

attention of the Department early one evening
when a resident of the area reported seeing a
bicycle and a child's clothing on the ditch bank.
While patrol officers were checking the scene,
an eight year old boy arrived with his father. He
stated he and a young friend had been playing
near the canal earlier in the afternoon, when the
younger boy decided to go swimming, took off
his shirt and shoes and jumped into the seater.
The older boy last saw him as he was swept under
the bridge at Jensen Avenue. He then ran home,
but was so frightened he didn't tell anyone of
the incident for several hours.
The Patrol Division, Irrigation District em-
ployees, and volunteers searched throughout the
night, checking headgates, culverts and lateral
ditches. Early next morning the Department's
Underwater Rescue and Recovery Unit joined
the search and spent the whole day diving, with
no results. When the body had not been found
by the time darkness had fallen the second night
the search was halted, except for men stationed
at various strategic headgates and junction points
in the canal.
All efforts were resumed on the third day. The
Irrigation District cooperated by cutting off
the flow of water into the canal, a process which
is not only expensive, but very upsetting to
farmers' watering schedules. Every available man
in the department was assigned to the search, and
plans were made to patrol every foot of canal
where there was any possibility of the presence
of the body.
About noon the body was found, approxi-
mately a half mile from the spot where the boy
had entered the water.
We do not print the details of drownings be-
cause we think such matters make enjoyable
reading. We do so as a reminder to people, espe-
cially the parents of small children, to exercise
the utmost care when around any body of water.
During the summer the Department was called
upon to assist in the recovery of the bodies of
several other persons who had drowned. In each
case the circumstances were somewhat different,
but all had one factor in common. Each could
have been prevented by a little more caution on
the part of either the victim himself or the per-
son responsible for his actions.

Stories about people who are lost usually have
happier endings. Probably the oldest person to
be lost in the Sierras last summer was a seventy -
seven year old woman who wandered away from
Camp Sierra. When she was reported missing
there was considerable concern for her safety,
not only because of her age, but because she also
suffered from lapses of memory. The fears were
ungrounded, however. While Sheriff's Depart-
ment personnel and Deputy Constable Dick
Smith from Shaver Lake were enroute to the
scene to organize a search party, a Forest Service
employee in a fire lookout tower spotted the lost
woman walking along Big Creek, in excellent
spirits and condition.
The "search for lost people" season always
begins in earnest in September when the deer
season opens. On Sunday, September 23rd, a
thirty -two year old man was reported missing
from a hunting party camped at Lost Meadow,
in the southeast corner of the county. Officers
from the Tulare and Fresno County Sheriff's
Departments and Constable Sam Kelley from
Dunlap went to the scene and joined volunteers
who had been searching since late Saturday,
when the man had failed to return to camp.
About 2:00 p.m. the lost man was found. He
stated that Saturday afternoon his horse had
been stung by a swarm of yellow jackets and
had thrown him off. He was stunned by the fall,
and when he recoverd his senses spent about three
hours searching for the horsse. He finally found
the animal, but by that time it was dark and the
brush was so thick he could not get the horse out.
He tied the horsse to a bush, made his way to a
creek where he spent the night and when day-
light came he walked to a nearby road and was
following it when he was found by a member of
the search party.
The unexpected storm the first week end in
October stranded three men in a cabin in the
Dinkey Lakes area. One of them walked out for
help, and the Sheriff's Department mountain
patrol returned with him in a jeep, which the),
were able to drive within three miles of the cabin.
The hunter then walked back in to the cabin
and returned with his two companions. Their
jeep had to be left at the cabin until the snow
melted.
(C:nnlinrmrl nn lhr• N('x1 Pu,,,r')
The largest search operation of the year was
conducted in mid - October. Ernest J. Stevens,
an employee of the Federal Correctional Insti-
tution at Lompoc, became lost in the Boulder
Creek area near Horse Corral Meadow on the
evening of the 16th. Search operations began that
night, and continued until noon on the 20th,
when the lost man was found.
Several men from the Sheriff's Department
took part in the search and the Pinehurst Ranger
Station furnished a large crew. Two organized
volunteer units, the Sierra Madre and the Alta -
dena Mountain Rescue Squads, were on the scene
with bloodhounds. Aircraft from the 41st Air
Rescue Squadron at Hamilton Air Force Base
also took part in the search, along with several
civilian aircraft.
Sheriff's officers assigned to the search for
Stevens had not yet recovered from their saddle
soreness when they were again sent to the Horse
Corral Meadow country. This time the lost hunt-
er was William R. Stark of Tulare, who was re-
ported missing the same day Stevens was found.
The search for him continued throughout the
following day. When the searchers returned to
camp after dark they learned their quarry had
walked into his camp about 4:00 o'clock that
afternoon, tired and hungry but otherwise un-
harmed.
Although there was nothing particularly ex-
citing in any of these incidents, there are some
good lessons to be learned. In nearly every case
the lost person either found his own way back
to camp, or was found unharmed by searchers,
because he kept his head, did not panic and did
not try to do such foolish things as travelling at
night. Such wisdom and judgment on the part
of lost hunters may not give us exciting stories
to write about, but it saves lives.
