COVER-For our first cover with a color photo graph, we have chosen a subject which has re ceived a great deal of publicity recently, the Fresno County Courthouse. The Review does not take sides on the issue of whether to 'remodel or demolish the building. We just think it makes a nice picture.

However, by the end of the year four good men were missing from our ranks. To the families of those who are no longer with us the Review extends a sincere gesture of sympathy, and a pledge that they will not be forgotten. To those who have replaced the departed, we suggest there could be no more fitting tribute and memorial than a job well done, guided by the same high standards of efficiency with which your predecessors carried out their respective duties. Sgt. Vernon F. McReynolds, who had retired from the Sheriff's Department only eighteen months earlier,' passed away early in September. It is regrettable that he was granted such a short time to enjoy the retirement for which he had worked so hard. Sgt. McReynolds was a native of Illinois, but had lived in California since he was a small child. He grew up and attended school in Chico. He served in France with the coast artillery in World War I, where he was wounded. After he was dis charged from the Army in 1918 he worked as a railroad conductor for several years then was employed for eight years by the Wells Fargo Express Company. He entered the law enforcement profession in 1939 when he became a member of the Yolo County Sheriff's Department. In 1945 he joined the Fresno County Sheriff's De partment, where for most of his tenure he was a shift commander in the jail. He was active in the American Legion, the Disabled Veteran's of World War I, the Elks Lodge, and the California Peace Officers Association. He is survived by his widow, Gertrude, whom he married in Stockton in 1920. In November the department was shocked by the untimely death of Sgt. Richard T. Bain who was killed in an automobile accident. He will be mourned for a long time. Not only was he one of the most popular members of the department, due to his friendliness and keen sense of humor, but he was also one of the most talented investigators. Perhaps the most important factor in his success was that he never became bored with his work. He could find something interesting and worth look ing into in the most routine and apparently hopeless case. He welcomed a chance to match wits with a criminal, and he seldom came out second best. (Continued on Next Page) 5 lJu flrmnriam Sgt. Vemoll F. McReYl10lds Sgt. Richard T. Baill Deputy Robert A. Borge Comtabl(' I ucr W. joballSoll 6 Sgt. Bain was born in Greensboro, N. c., where his mother still lives. He moved to Fresno shortly after he was discharged from the Marine Corps following World War II. He was a deputy constable under Ernest Jayne in the old third township for several years, and joined the Sheriff's Department in 1952 when the third township became the Fresno Judicial District, and the office of constable was abolished. He ,erved as jailer, bailiff, patrolman, and detective, and a year before his death wa~ promoted to sergeant. He had been in charge of the misdemeanor investigations de tail for 'several months. His widow, Betty, and three children reside in the family home at 4870 E. Home Avenue. Deputy Robert A. Borge of the Security Division passed away in November, fol1owing a heart attack. He had been an employee of Fresno County since 1944, and a member of the Sheriff's Department for approximately three years. During that time he earned a reputation as a conscienteous, hard-working, and dependable officer, and was well liked and respected by all who knew him. Deputy Borge was born in Nevada, and had been a resident of California for thirty years. He was a member of the Sheriff's Department Reserve for several years prior to his appointment as a regular deputy. He was an active member of the In ternational Footprinters Association and the Fresno County and California State Peace Officers Associations. He lived at 54 Dudley Ave. He is survived by his widow, Blanche, a daughter, Judy, of Fresno, and a son, Donald, of Merced. The Selma area in particular, and the whole of Fresno County and the law enforcement profession in general, suffered a great loss in December when Constable rver W. Johanson died of a heart attack. He was struggling with a suspect who was resisting arrest when the attack occurred. Constable Johanson had been a peace officer for twenty years. For the past eleven years he had been constable of the S:!lma Judicial District. He was a native of Sweden, but had lived in this country since he was a baby. His parents were early settlers in the Oleander district south of Fresno. A fine spirit of cooperation existed between Constable Johanson and the Sheriff's Department. Those of us who had occasion to work with him regarded him highly as an able officer, a fine gentleman, and a good friend. He was the president-elect for 1962 of the Fresno County Chapter of the Judges. Marshals, and Constables Association. He was a member of the Selma Lutheran Church, the Masonic Lodge, and the Lions Club. He is survived by his widow, Vera, two sisters, and five brothers, one of whom is constable of the Kingsburg Judicial District. 7 FROM THE EDITOR'S WASTEBASKET If the young son of a robbery suspect arrested in Sutter County grows up to be a juvenile de linquent, the father won't have to look far to find the person responsible. He took the baby, who was eleven months old at the time, with him when he committed the crime. He ex~ plained the senseless act by saying he had to take care of the baby while his wif~ was attend ing high school, and he couldn't find a baby sitter. 'Y In screening applicants for the position of reserve deputy, every effort is made to eliminate those with a criminal record, and those with character traits which might make them tend ro have trouble with the law. Practically all such undesirable candidates are thus detected and eliminated; however, occasionally one does slip through. This was illustrated in a graphic man ner last Spring, when a few hours before the indoctrination class ,for a new group of reserv ists, one of the candidates sent a message that he was unavoidably detained, and would not be able to attend. A few questions disclosed that when he said "detained", he couldn't have used a more precise term. He had just been booked in to the county jail. Needless to say, his name Was permanently removed from the roster of prospective reserve deputies.

It seems the police, in investigating a "burglary in progress" call at a warehouse, found a car parked nearby which apparently belonged to the suspect. However, the only occupant was a large boxer. They put the dog in the animal shelter and waited. A day or so latcr a man appeared at the shelter inquiring about stray dogs that had been picked up. The Doxer was so happy at his appearance that there was little doubt as to ownership. The man was arrested on suspicion of burglary, and when questioned admitted the crime. However, he had no ill feeling for the dog. "I was glad to see him, too," he said.

AT SHIELDS 8 EDITORIAL YOU'RE ALREADY INVOLVED One of the more frustrating experiences en countered by a peace officer is the attempt to investigate an anonymous complaint. It seems that any person concerned sufficiently about a situation to make a complaint would at least be willing to give the officer the break of knowing its source. However, almost every day the Sher iff's Department desk officer is involved in at least one conversation of the following nature. Desk Officer: (answering telephone) "Patrol Division. Deputy Doe. May I help you?" Caller: "There's something going on in my neighborhood that ought to be stopped. D.O.: "All right. I'll see what we can do. What is the trouble" The caller then goes on to explain some type of illegal activity on the part of a neighbor. Sometimes it is imagined, sometimes genuine, and the offense described is likely to be any- THE MODERN BANK WHERE YOU'LL ALWAYS FEEL WELCOME NITED CALIFORNIA BANK ~U""CIl f't.O£ItAL D[POS 1T I NS URANCE COAPORAIIO I'I 1545 Fulton Street, Fresno SPRINKLERS SERVICE -Parks -Cemeteries Fresno -Madera -Merced -Mariposa Counties Fresno AM 8-5561 SALES & For ...

If it appears that the complaint warrants attention the desk of ficer says, "All right, we'll look into the matter. Now can I have your name?" Caller: "Oh, no! My name doesn't matter. You just check and you'll see that I'm right." D.O.: "We don't doubt that you're right. It's just that we need your name for our records, and so we can contact you again in case we need further information." Caller: "Well, I'm not going to tell you my name. You know about it now, and it's your job to put a stop to it. I don't want to be involved." Sometimes the desk officer is able to persuade the person to identify himself, but all too often, despite assurances that the party concerned will not be told who made the complaint, the caller insists upon remaining anonymous.

If the com plaint appears justifiable every reasonable effort is made to investigate, but many times it is vir tually impossible without further cooperation by the complainant. For instance, not long ago a local minister no tified the department that a woman in his con gregation had knowledge of a severe case of child abuse. She had told him of the incident, saying she felt some police action should be taken. He had suggested that she telephone us, but she had refused. However, she did not ob ject when he stated 11e would inform us of the matter. The minister was duly interviewed, and he readily gave all the information he had concern ing the situation. It was sufficient to indicate a need for further action, but, unfortunately, lacked facts necessary for the launching of a complete investigation. When this factor was explained he identified the woma'n who had given him the information, saying he felt sure she would tell us all she knew if assured before- THE OUTPOST Your Favorite Restaurant COCKTAILS -FINE FOODS Your Favorite Hosts DAN & PETE Are Back Again to Greet You Ph.

In order to insure anonymity for the lady, she was contacted by telephone with the inten tion of making arrangements for a plain clothes officer to in terview her. When she learned the purpose of the call, she emphatically denied having any knowledge regarding any violation of the law. She further stated she knew the child referred to, but that to her knowledge it had never been abused. Appeals to her sense of duty and sympathy for the child were wasted. As soon as the conversation was concluded she telephoned the minister and berated him for identifying her. Fortunately this same child and the condi tions under which an unloving mother forced him to live came to the attention of the depart ment a few days later. Since the information then came from a more cooperative witness, the juvenile detail was able to take proper steps to remedy the situation. Had the second witness been as reluctant as the first, chances are the (Colltinlted on Next Page) Archie Burton Douglas Service EXPERT LUBRICATION Gas -Oil -Tires -Tubes -Accessories 1504 N.

It is difficult to understand why people are so reluctant in such instances to let their iden tity be known. The most frequent excuse is fear of vengeance from the person against whom the complaint is made. However, it is extremely doubtful if this is a true reason in the majority of the cases. Few people are such cowards that they really fear such a remote danger. \Ve think rather that the reluctance is due to the tradi tional low opinion society has for the "stool pigeon", or informer. One of the first things we learn as children is that a tattle-tale has few friends. We are also taught that a good citizen does not interfere in his neighbor's business. It appears more plausible tha't a misguided appli cation of these two principles is the true reason behind most anonymous complaints. Assuming this is true, just how valid or justi fiable is the complainant's insistence upon an onymity? In the first place, there is a vast dif- R. 6-R. ELECTRIC MOTOR CO. 1919 E.

No police agency expects or wants you to call each time your neighbor lets his unlicensed dog out of the yard; spanks his children a little harder than you spank yours; argues with his wife; takes an occasional drink; or fails to make a complete stop at a stop sign. However, if his dog is vicious and is allowed to run loose; if his spanking amounts to actual abuse; if he beats his wife and she doesn't like it; or if his drinking and/or driving disturbs or endangers the neighborhood; then it is your duty to report the matter, and you are not being a stool pigeon when you do so. As for your being involved in your neighbor's business; it's not just your neighbor's business. You're already involved. Every time a crime is committed in your community, even if you never hear about it, you are affected to some extent. Obviously your life is in danger if mur derers are allowed to remain at large. However, (Continued on Next Pagr) Valley Ice Company 2003 Cherry Phone AD 7 -6145 PAT WOOD & CO. COMPANY TRAINED ADJUSTERS 925 No. Fulton St. Ph. AM 6'()473 11 what many people fail to realize is that lesser crime also affect their lives. If there is a bar owner in your neighborhood who sells liquor to teen-age motorists, your streets are made less safe. Each time a traffic accident, most of which are caused by illegal driving, occurs in your community, your automobile insurance premi ums are affected, since they are based on the overall accident rate in your area. Your theft and burglary insurance premiums are influenced by the incidence of those crimes. When your neighbor habitually loses his pay check to a gambler or spends it all on liquor instead of buy ing food for his family, it's your tax money that supports that family when they "go on welfare." The longer any crime situation is al lowed to develop, the more people become a part of it, and the larger the police force must be to cope with it. Police budgets are made up of your tax dollars. We see, therefore, that it is impo~sible for a citizen to adopt a "live and let live" attitude and thus keep from being affected by the crim inal activity in his community. He should then, I" Country Boy Market Fresno [;, McKinley AM 6-9621 FRESNO J. B. HAWKIN'S RANCH if only for purely selfish reasons, be glad to do all he can to combat crime. He should under stand that by reporting a serious situation he is protecting his own interests, and should not object if it becomes necessary for his identity to be made known. This brings us to a final question, why is it so important that a perwn giving information to the police identify himself? A very good answer can be found in no less a document than our constitution, which states that no person may be convicted and punished for a crime without the opportunity to confront his accuser. However, that is not the only reawn. Usually it is impossible in a telephone interview to ob tain enough information to enable an officer to take any effective action. He can't just go to a suspect's home and say, "r heard you're guilty of a crime. Is that right, Answer yes or no." Naturally the answer would be "No", and unless the officer saw the crime being commit ted, or had evidence of guilt much more con crete than an anonymous telephone call, he (Continu{'d on N ('xt Page) MAXWELL STUDIOS AD 3-2629 415 BLACKSTONE FRESNO GUS 6-DORRIS AD 3-9611 4010W.

Sometimes it is possible for an officer to drop by a suspect's house on a tip and observe whatever illegal acti vity is being conducted. Occasionally even a major case is made through information ob tained from an anonymous telephone call. How ever, such instances occur in mystery stories in which the author can't think of any other way for his hero to obtain the key information much more often than they do in real life. Briefly, the position of the police profession in the matter is as follows. If YOll have a com plaint against your neighbor, or know of some illegal activity that should be brought to our attention, we feel that it is not only your privi lege but your duty to tell us about it. How ever, we also feel that if you consider it of suf ficient importance to require our attention, then it should also be of sufficient importance for you to risk having someone find out you made the complaint. If you refuse to tell us your name, then we can only assume that you don't consider the complaint to be of a very FRESNO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SERVICE ALBERT MESEKE Parts and Excliange Units Complete Service AM 4-0820 Fresno 2522 Ventura SIERRA HOSPITAL 2025 E. DAKOTA FRESNO 13 senous nature. The fact that you tell an officer your name doesn't mean it will be made public. One of the basic rules of investigation is that the officer reveals the source of his information only when absolutely necessary, and then as discreetly as possible. It usually will be po~sible for the mat ter to be handled withou t the guilty party knowing where we heard about his activities. In cases where it is necessary that court action be taken, there is a good possibility that you will have to te~tify; however, those are usually the cases where we can take no action at all if we have only the information of an anonymous caller. If there is any actual danger caused by your appearance in court, every reasonable ef fort will be made to protect you. Suppose you were the victim of a serious crime, and were unable to take steps to remedy the situation? You would certainly want some one to be willing to "be involved" enough to help you.

In the past the department has not been com pletely without a training program. On the contrary, most of our officers have been reason ably well trained. The manner in which they received their training, however, has been some what haphazard. Some attended night classes and took college courses after they joined the department; some had college training in crim inology before going to work; others took cor respondence courses. Everyone received at least some on-the-job training from senior members of the department with whom they worked. \Vhile all these methods are good, and will still be used, they are not enough.

It may be interesting for a young officer to hear from his older partner how a particular problem was handled fifteen years ago, but such information is not adequate. The good officer wants to know how the problem should be handled today. The department has had various programs of classroom training during the past several years. Instructors from the Federal Bureau of Investi gation have conducted classes on several occa sions. Five or six years ago members of the Patrol Division took the regular course of in struction at the Fresno Police Academy. These classes were all very helpful, but one of their most noteworthy accomplishments was to em phasize the department's need for a well organ ized training program of its own.

The Sheriit's Air Squadron generously offered the use of the organization's clubhouse at the Fresno Air Terminal, to be used until arrangements could be made for more suitable quarters. This worked out quite well; the only disadvantage being that the instructor is quite often inter rupted, just as he is making an important point, by a jet airplane taking off or landing. The next problem was in choosing the cur riculum. It was decided to begin by giving all veteran members of the department a refresher course in procedures and methods in which they might have become a bit rusty. Instructors were not a serious problem. Within the department there are enough officers who are experts in their respective fields to constitute a well balanced faculty. Classes began several months ago, and the re sults are already evident; especially in the fields of report writing, patrol techniques, and public relations.

The week ended with a graduation ceremony, in which Sheriff Will mirth pre~ented each with a badge and officially welcomed them to the department. A few weeks later, as soon as the new em ployees had their feet on the ground in the jail division where they were initially assigned, a week was devoted to a class in basic patrol pro cedure for the former jailers the,new men had replaced. Much remains to be done before the job of establishing a training program can be consid ered finished. However, in the few months since its beginning a great deal of progress has been made.

The group, known as "The Sher iffs", played in the Sierra League at the Sierra Junior High School. Since the team was organized shortly before the regular season began, and therefore had little chance for practice, the fellows had a rather un successful year as f~r as winning games is con cerned. However they all had a lot of fun, and, under the expert tutoring of Coach Duane Baleme, learned a great deal about team play and sportsmanship, as well as the fundamentals of baseball. In addition, many members of the department had the time of their lives attending the games and rooting for the boys. All con ce7ned are eagerly awaiting the coming baseball season.

COFFEE "THE VALLEY'S FAVORITE" FRESNO 21 EARLY September, 1946, was a happy time for eighteen year old Francisco Moreno Oliva and his young wife. The goal toward which they had worked for many months was in sight at last. In a very few days they planned to leave their temporary home in Firebaugh, California, and return to their home town of Tototlan, Jalisco, Mexico. As so many of their country men had done, they had come to the San Joaquin Valley to work as farm laborers, hoping that the plentiful work and high wages would give them a better start in their life together than would be possible at home. They had chosen Firebaugh because Francisco had an uncle, Nabor Oliva, who had lived there for some time.

MAPLE Now the season's work was almost over, and by carefully saving their money, they had ac cumulated a little over five hundred dollars. That would be quite a sum in Tototlan; with it they could start a small business, buy a few acres of land, or live in comfort until the work started in California the following Spring. Most of the preparations for the trip had been made. There were only a few odds and ends to be taken care of, and they would be on their way. In addition to a natural desire to see their home town again, there was another very special reason they were anxious to return home. They could hardly wait to tell Francisco's mother, Nicolosa, that she would soon be a grandmother. About 8 :00 o'clock on the morning of September 12th Francisco kissed his wife good by, and set out for the headquarters of the Hammonds Ranch, to pick up a check for work he had done there. He was wearing a pair of new boots he had bought especially for the trip to Mexico. He told his wife he would return in a few hours; after getting the check he would say goodbye to his friends Jose Guerrero and Tony Altilano, then rejoin his wife and they could complete the plans for their trip. At noon Francisco had not returned. By mid-afternoon Mrs. Oliva began to worry. She tried to tell herself that he had merely let his friends talk him into drinking more than he should have, and had lost track of the time. However, she knew this wasn't reasonable. Fran cisco occasionally drank a little too much, but he was too anxious to return to Mexico to let anything interfere with getting ready for the trip. Mrs. Oliva spent a sleepless night wonder ing what had happened to her husband. The next morning she told his uncle, Nabor, about his failure to return. He tried to assure her that Francisco must have been delayed for a good reason, and would be home soon. She tried to convince herself that he was right, but she couldn't help worrying. After all, Francisco was only nineteen; maybe, with the baby com ing, he had decided he was too young to be tied to a family, and had decided to run away from his responsibilities. Or maybe there was another woman. (Continued on Next Page) 22 EL CAPITAN MOTEL Coaled By Refrigeration Lorge Swimming Pool _ Some Kitchen Units QUIET ...

Belmont Ave. For Prompt Service Call CL 5-8353 , Mrs. Oliva waited several weeks, but Fran cisco still did not return. Left alone in a strange country, she didn't think of asking the author ities for help in learning what happened to her husband. Finally, when the long wait brought no word, she sadly returned to Mexico alone. N abor Oliva was puzzled about his nephew's disappearance, but not greatly concerned. After 111, if the boy ,vanted to leave his wife, it was his own busines~. For that reason he also failed to report the disappearance to the authorities. A few weeks after Mrs. Oliva returned home, Nabor saw Jose Guerrero and Tony Aitilano in the pool hall in Firebaugh. They read him a letter which they claimed Francisco had written to them from T ototlan. This dispelled from his mind the last vestige of doubt concerning the disappearance of his nephew. ELEVEN YEARS GO BY In the Spring of 1957 Nabor Oliva went to Mexico to visit relatives, including the mother of Francisco. On March 5th, a few days after he returned to Firebaugh, he went to the office of Constable Al Lopez, and contacted him and his deputies, James Hamm and James Keene. "What can we do for you, Nabor?" Lopez asked him as he hesitantly entered. "\o/e11 , Mr. Lopez, it's about my nephew, Francisco," Nabor began. "He's disappeared." "\o/hen did you see him last" "In September of 1946," Nabor answered in J. matter-of-fact tone. "Why, that was almost eleven years ago," Lopez exclaimed. "I know, but I thought he was in Mexico all that time, and his mother there thought he was here. " "Maybe you better start at the beginning," • Hamm suggested. N abor then told of his nephew's coming to Fresno County, his plans to return to Mexico in the fall of 1946, and of his failure to return when he went to the Hammonds Ranch to pick up his check. "I thought he had just got mad at his wife, and had gone on home by himself," Kabor explained, "but when I visited his mother the first thing she said was, 'How is my son Francisco? Why doesn't he write to me?' Then I found out that he had never been home in all (Continued on Next Page) 23 Fresno White 6' Autocar Sales Distributors of White & Autocar Trucks -Ports & Service 2707 S. East Ave. tha t time." When Francisco's mother had learned that Nabor knew nothing of what had happened to her son, she notified the proper au thorities in her home town. The information was relayed to the Mexican Consul in Fresno, and that agency contacted Nabor, shortly after he returned to Firebaugh, and asked him to make a formal re pot of his nephew's disappearance. "Maybe Francisco took off with another wo man," one of the officers suggested when N abor had finished his explanation. "No, I don't think so," N abor said. "He still would have let his mother know where he was." "Do you have any idea what happened to him, then?" "I might have," Nabor said thoughtfully. "About four years ago Tony Altilano and I were having a beer together, and he got to talk ing a lot. He told me that Jose Guerrero had killed Francisco. I didn't think anything about it at the time, 'cause he was a little drunk. But now I don't know. Maybe he meant it." "Did your nephew ever have any trouble with this Guerrero?" Hamm inquired. "Not that I know of. If he did, he never told me about it." "Well, we'll take a missing person report, and then we'll see what we can find out," Lopez said. A COLD TRAIL The first step in the investigation was to send a 'teletype to the Bureau of Criminal Identifica tion and Investigation in Sacramento, common ly known as cn, to see if there was any infor mation on file there on the missing youth. Hamm and Keene then went to the office of the Hammonds Ranch and contacted the super intendent, George Ross. The ranch records for 1946 showed that Francisco Oliva had worked there that year. The last entry conc::rning him was dated September 12th, when he was given a check for twelve dollars. However, that par ticular check had not been cancelled and re turned, indicating that Oliva had not cashed it. Tony Altilano was still in the Firebaugh area, and was located without difficulty. When first shown a picture of the missing person he denied knowing him.

"When was the last time you saw Jose Guer rero?" Hamm asked. "I think it was in 1947," Altilano answered. "He had been arrested for bothering some little girls, and the judge made him leave town. don't know where he went. I never saw him after that." The officers were convinced that Altilano knew considerably more than he had told about the victim's disappearance, so he was booked on suspicion of murder, pending further investiga tion. The officers then began the search for Guerrero. It didn't take long for them to realize that they were following a very cold trail. Sheriff's Department records showed he had been arrested in Firebaugh in 1947 for contributing to the delinquency of a minor; probably the incident referred to by Altilano. ClI reported that Guer rero had been arrested several times in the past ten years; the last time for a narcotics violation for which he had been sentenced to the state prison. He had been paroled in September of 1953, and discharged from parole in 1955. The Adult Authority files showed that while he was on parole he had worked in the Tracy area. A letter was sent to his employer there. The reply stated that the suspect had left there in December of 1955, and had not been heard from since. The employer furnished an address Guerrero had given him, stating it was that of a friend in Stockton. The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department checked this address, and reported that Guerrero. The the people there re the trail ended. did not know On March FALSE LEADS 14th a letter was received from ell stating that there was no record of Fran cisco Oliva in their files. The letter mentioned two incidents occurring in the previous decade that might have had some bearing on the case. One was an all points bulletin sent by the Fresno Police Department late in 1946, concerning an unidentified Mexican wanted for homicide. The other was an unidentified body which had been found in Kern County in 1950. (Continued on Next Page) 2S The Fresno Police Department and the Kern County Sheriff's Department were contacted. Both agencies reported their respective cases had been cleared, and could not be connected in any way with Oliva or Guerrero. During the next several weeks little progress was made. Numerous leads were checked, but all proved fruitless. The homicide detail of the Sheriff's Department joined in the investiga tion, and it was decided to give Altilano a poly graph (lie detector) examination. On April 23rd Joe McVarish, a polygraph specialist from CII, came to Fresno and gave the examination. At its conclusion he stated that indications were that Altilano was telling the truth when he claimed he had no knowledge of Oliva's disappearance. Altilano was then re leased from custody. UNANSWERED QUESTIONS In view of this latest development, no one would have blamed the investigating officers had they closed the case. After all, what little evidence there was that Oliva had been mur dered was purely circumstantial. Furthermore, all the suspicious circumstances could be logic ally explained by the theory that he had left his wife for another woman. The fact that no one could remember ever having seen him with 01' heard him mention another woman meant no thing; had such a relationship existed, he no doubt would have tried to keep it secret. The I.lJlcashed check was for only twelve dollars; had he forgotten to cash it before he left Fire baugh, he probably had decided that it would be better to lose that amount than to cash the check in a town where the endorser's stamp might indicate his direction of travel. Perhaps he hadn't contacted his mother because he was ashamed to tell her he had left his wife alone in a strange country a month before she was to have a baby. Even the statement of Tony AI tilano to Nabor Oliva that Guerrero had killed Francisco seemed to have been reduced to mere "drunk talk" by the polygraph examination. However, as logical as these explanations seemed, there were still a few unanswered ques tions. For instance, there were letters that Al tilano and Guerrero had read to N abor Oliva, (Contimted on N ext Page) 26 CEDAR HEIGHTS TEXACO PALMER BROS.

The officers still weren't satis fied, so they kept plugging away, eagerly run ning down every bit of information that came along. On May 31st, from an unexpected source, came the first real break in the investigation.

The clipping concerned an incident that had no relation whatsoever to the disappearance of Oliva. It was, in itself, a quite trivial matter, but it turned out to be a major development in the investigation. It told of five men who had been cited by a game warden for Fish and Game law violations, and one of the names mentioned was Jose Guerrero, with a rural Tracy address. The information was quickly telephoned to Constable Ben Canale Jr., of the Tracy Judicial District of San Joaquin County. That officer 5howed a picture of the Guerrero wanted here to the clerk of the Tracy Judicial District Court. The clerk positively identified it as a picture of the Guerrero who had appeared there on the Fish and Game violation. Canale then went to the address given On the citation, and found it to be fictitious. He then contacted John Roumasset, the warden who had issued the citation. Fortunately Roumasset re membered Guerrero mentioning to him that he worked at a certain ranch in the Tracy area. Canale telephoned the ranch owner, and learned (Continued all Next Page) TEMPLE CAFE RAYMOND ABU RAMEN AD 7-6776 1423 KERN FRESNO 27 that Guerrero was there. He then went to the ranch and arrested Guerrero without incident, and notified Fresno County officers that the search was over. QUESTIONING BEGINS The next day Guerrero was brought to Fresno, and the final, but by no means simple, phase of the investigation began. The officers were faced with the problem of obtaining a confession, from a suspect against whom they had no evi dence, to a murder they couldn't prove had been committed. The only way seemed to be . to question him over and over again, hoping that he would trap himself by his own state ments. On June 13th the questioning began. Guer rero admitted having known Tony Altilano and Francisco and Nabor Oliva in Firebaugh sev eral years previously. After further questioning he admitted he had accompanied Francisco to the office of the Hammonds Ranch to pick up their paychecks sometime in September of 1956. "What did you do after you got the checks?" one of the officers asked. "I went back to work, and Francisco went to Firebaugh," Guerrero said. "Did you see him after that?" "Yes, a few days later I saw him In Fire baugh. " "Did you talk to him?" "A little." "\Vhat did you talk about?" "He told me he had lost his check, and I told him he ought to see George and get another one. " "By George, you mean George Ross, the ranch su perintendent." "That's right." "Did he get another check?" "Yes, he did." "Was that the last time you saw him?" "Yes. I saw his wife a little while after that. She was crying. I asked her what was the mat ter, and she said Francisco had left and didn't come back, and she didn't know what hap pened to him." "Did he say anything to you about going away."

"No. I got arrested right after that. I had to leave Firebaugh." The questioning continued about the details of Guerrero's acquaintanceship with the victim. The officers noted several discrepancies in his ~tory, and that he seemed to be able to remem ber what would normally be insignificant de tails, and yet he claimed to have completely forgotten more important incidents. It was decided to give him a polygraph examination also. On June 19th Joe McVarish again came to Fresno. When interviewed by him during the process of the polygraph examination, Guerrero told substantially the same story he had told earlier, up to the point where he claimed Fran cisco had told him about the lost check. "What happened then?" McVarish asked when Guerrero had reached that point. "Francisco wrote a note to George Ross about losing the check, and asked me to take it to him," Guerrero stated. "Did you deliver the note?" "Yes. I took the note to George, and he made a new check. I gave it to Francisco the next time I saw him." "When was that?" "A day or two later, in Firebaugh in the pool hall. That was the last time I saw 'him." "Do you know where he went?" "About two weeks after that I got a letter from him. It was mailed from W aco, Texas. In the letter there was a sealed envelope, and a note asking me to give the envelope to his wife. I took it to her at Nabor Oliva's house." At this point Guerrero volunteered a strange remark. "I guess you wonder why I signed the check for Francisco," he said. "He couldn't write, so I always signed his checks for him." "How about the note he wrote to George Ross?" McVarish asked. "Oh, I didn't mean that he wrote the note," Guerrero hastily said. "He already had it wrote when I saw him." "We thought you cashed the check, Jose," McVarish said, fishing for information. "Oh, no. Francisco cashed it." "Are you sure?"

I cashed it in a clothing store." "Now, let's get it straight," McVarish said. "You gave him the check in the pool hall. Then you went to the clothing store, and you signed the check, and cashed it, and gave the money to Francisco. Is that the way it happened?" "Well, no. He cashed the check himself." "In the clothing store?" "No, in the pool hall." McVarish decided to abandon this line of attack for the moment. "Why didn't you tell Francisco's wife that you had seen him in Fire baugh several days after he got his check?" he asked. "She had already gone to Mexico by that time," the suspect explained. "But just a moment ago you told me that you took her a letter two weeks after you last saw Francisco. How do you account for that?" "Well, it was this way," Guerrero began. He then launched into a complicated, and obviously contrived, explanation for the discrepancies in his story. Soon he realized that he was only be coming tangled deeper into a trap of his own making. "1 guess I might as well tell the truth," he said. "All right," McVarish said. "Let's start all over again, and you tell me exactly what hap pened." "Well," Guerrero began, "I told the truth II p to the part w here I ga ve Francisco the check in the pool hall.

He retold it with only sljght v;J.riations, then after a brief period of further questioning, he said, "Now, I'm going to tell the real truth." "That's what we want to hear," one of the officers remarked. "It really happened this way," Guerrero said. "After Altilano and Francisco and the others left for Dos Palos, I went back to the Ham monds Ranch store. After I'd been there a while Tony came in. He said he had stabbed Francisco, and he wanted me to help bury him. \X' e went out to Tony's car, and he had Fran cisco in the back seat, wrapped in a tarp. We took him to a field and buried him." "\Xfhere is this field?" a detective inquired. "On the Hammonds Ranch." There was some discussion over details, then Guerrero changed his story again. "A couple of weeks before this happened Francisco and Tony had a fight," h esaid. "Tony had been trying to pla y around with Francisco's wife, and Fran cisc o threatened to kill him with a knife. One ni ght just before dark T ony and Francisco and I were out by the stable on the Hammonds Ranch, and Tony shot Francisco. Then he rolled him up in a tarp, and we put him in the car, and took him and buried him." "\\'lhat did he shoot him with," an officer w,wted to know. "A little automatic pisto!." "Did you see it happen?" " 10. I just heard the shots. Tony already had him rolled in the tarp when I got there." "How many shots did YOll hear?" "\Xfhere was Francisco hit?" "One in the head, :md one in the chest." "If he was already rolled in the tarp when you saw him, how did you know where he was hit?", one of the officers asked. "I just knew," was the vague reply. "Who dug the grave?" "Tony dug it." "Do you think you can show us where it is?" "I think so." (Continued on Nex! Page) DOUBLE S CATTLE CO. Livestock Bought and Sold 4167 E.

He immediately picked up Altilano and booked him in the Firebaugh city jail. The officers, accompanied by a dep uty district attorney, then took Guerrero to the Hammonds Ranch. On arrival, he directed them to a spot only a few hundred feet from the tennis courts at the ranch headquarters. He looked the area over for a few moments, then drew a circle on the ground. "Right here," he said. "Are you sure?" Hamm asked. "Things have changed a lot around here in the last ten years." "I know this is the rdace," Guerrero said, pointing to two trees a few yards away. "The trees haven't changed. I pIan ted that one, and I topped that one once." George Ross, the ranch superintendent, was contacted, and the situation explained to him. He furnished excavating equipment and men to operate it, and the digging began. Only six or eight feet from the spot indicated by Guer rero, approximately two and one-half feet below the surface, parts of a human ~keleton were found. Machine operations were halted, and a deputy coroner and identification technicians were called to the scene. Excavation then continued by hand. Soon the entire skeleton was uncovered, with the feet still inside a pair of boots. N abor Oliva was brought to the scene, and he identified the . boots as the ones his nephew had purchased to wear home to Mexico. The only other identifiable articles found with the body were a part of a leather belt, a closed pocket knife, a few coins, and the re mains of a wallet. There were what appeared to be bullet holes in the skull and chest bone, substantiating Guerrero's statement of the loca tion of the fatal wounds. Tony Altilano was brought to the scene and the skeleton shown to him. He denied knowing anything about it, even after Guerrero repeated the story in his presence. "Do you have a gun of any kind, Tony?", one of the officers asked. "No. I never did own a gun," AltiIano said.

By the time this was done darkness had fallen, and it was decided to halt operations until the following day, when the grave could be examined by day light. The next morning the officers again assem bled at the scene.

After several hours of painstaking search, two .22 caliber shell casings and a bullet were located. The Hammonds Ranch records were again checked, and it was definitely established that the last check issued to Francisco had never been cashed, nor had there been one issued to replace it. Ross had no recollection of Guerrero ever mentioning to him that Francisco had lost the check. The records also revealed that during the early part of September of 1946 Altilano was working approximately four and one-half miles from the ranch headquarters, while Guerrero was working as a gardener in the ranch yard, only a few yards from where the body was buried. Even though the body had been found, the officers still weren't satisfied with Guerrero's (Continued on Next Page) GROVE-BUILT HOMES 204 N. Abby AM 6-9848 FRESNO 33 account of the murder. So the next day, June 21 st, the questioning was resumed, and the sus petc was asked to go over his story again. He at first repeated the most recent previous ac count, but after a while he said, "Well, now I'm really going to tell the truth." "You've said that before," one of the officers reminded. "Why don't you really do it this time?" "I'm going to," Guerrero said. "Here's how it happened. The night before Francisco and I went to the office together, we were drinking with Tony. We had a quarrel, and Francisco got mad at Tony and me. He pulled a knife and said he was going to kill us. We talked to him a while, and we thought he got over being mad." "The next day Francisco came by where I was working in the ranch yard. We went to the office and got our checks, then went back to the yard. I asked Francisco if he remembered what happened the night before. He said, 'It's up to you.' I saw he was still mad, and then we started arguing again. I told him I would be right back, then I went to the little house by the ranch house and got my gun. I kept it there to shoot rats and birds." "When I got back to where Francisco was, he took his knife out of his pocket. I shot him once, and hit him in the chest. When he didn't fall, I shot him again-in the head. Then he fell. " "How far away were you when you fired?" a detective asked as Guerrero paused. "About twenty-five feet." (Continued on Next Page) BONNER PAC'KING CO.

Plans were made to take a formal state ment from Altilano regarding his knowledge of the crime. However, he had engaged an attor ney who advised him to make no statement. Since there was no evidence on which to hold him there was nothing to do but release him, and accept Guerrero's statement that he alone was responsible for Francisco's death.

Nole the boots which made positive identification possible. On July 24th, 1957, a preliminary hearing was held in the Firebaugh Judicial District Court, and Guerrero was held to answer to the Superior Court on a charge of murder. On August 19th he entered a guilty plea, and was immediately sentenced to the state prison. On January 28th, 1959, the Adult Authority set his term at eight years, and granted parole for the last five and one-half years of that period, on condition that he be deported when released. Although there are a few minor questions about this case that will never be answered, due to the lapse of time between the commission and the discovery of the crime, one point is quite clear-Guerrero came close to succeeding in his attempt to commit the perfect crime. Nabor Oliva's trip to Mexico, and the suspect's minor Fish and Game Code violation, were two events quite trivial in themselves, and were to (Continued on Next Page) COIN MUSIC. Inc. Phonographs & Amusement Games HOWARD E. ANDERSON and DAVID A. HORN 710 R. ST. AD 7-1563 39 tally unrelated to the crime. Yet they were the keys that opened the door to a murderer's con viction. Had not these two incidents occurred, it is quite possible that the body of Francisco Oliva would never have been found, and his murderer would have gone unpunished. On the other hand, few men are either strong or intelligent enough to live a lifetime with murder on their conscience, without revealing it to someone. Chances are that eventually Guerrero's guilt would have been revealed in some other way, since, as Cervantes said in Don Quijote, "Mur der will out."

The first came early in the year with the retire ment of Chief Deputy Coroner Ben Paschall, who was, in effect, the third ranking member of the department. In reviewing the nature and responsibility of the position following his re tirement, it was decided that it could be handled just as well by an officer of slightly lower rank, and that the higher rank could be used to greater advantage elsewhere. With that in mind the post of Chief Criminal Deputy was created, and following a competitive examination, Albert Collins, formerly Lieutenant of Detectives, was appointed to the new position.

Shortly after these moves were made, Cap tain Clifford Forrest, who had been in charge of the Mental Health Detail for many years, retired. As in the case of the Coroner's Office, it was decided his rank was needed more in an other place, in this instance the patrol division. Robert Saum, who had been the lieutenant in charge of the four p.m. to midnight shift, was promoted to captain and made commander of the Patrol Division. Captain Conrad Spomer assumed direct command of the Detective Divi sion. Lieutenant Kenneth Larson replaced For rest as head of the Mental Health Detail. The third major phase of the reorganization consisted of the consolidation of the Mental Health Detail and the Warrants and Transpor (Continued on Next Page) Compliments of FRONTIER Chevrolet Co.

Previously they had always operated independently, even though their duties were similar in many re spects. The primary duty in both cases consists of the apprehension of persons on a court order, in one instance a warrant and in the other a men,tal petition, and transporting persons who have been so committed to state institutions, either a state prison or mental hospital. Lt. Larson assumed command of the combined operation, assisted by Sgt. Glen Vernon in war rants, Sgt. Al Swenson in Mental Health, and Sgt. Don Safford in Transportation. The final important step for the year, as far as organization of the department is concerned, was the appointment of a personnel and train ~ng officer. Lt. Harold McKinney was ap pointed to the position, and immediately began making plans for a better training program for both new and veteran officers. Naturally, these major changes brought about many others. Sgts. Warren Saunders, A.

Of the major divisions of the department, only two, the Civil Division under the command of Cap tain Fred Koll, and the Identification Bureau headed by Captain Rodney Riddle, were not changed to any great extent. CRIMINAL DIVISION The Criminal Division is the largest unit in the department, and is composed of two large sub-divisions, Patrol and Detective, and several smaller units. The Patrol unit includes, in ad dition to the patrolmen, the bailiffs and Com munications Section. Also a part of the Criminal Division are the Juvenile Detail, the Warrants, Transportation and Mental Health sections, and the Steno Pool. Their respec·tive duties are as follows. The Patrol Division is charged with the suppression of crime by patrol activity, an swering of emergency calls, and making prelim inary investigations of crimes or related inci dents. The Detective Division investigates and attempts to identify and apprehend the per sons responsible for all major crimes committed in the rural areas of the county. The Juvenile Detail aids in the fight against crime by handling youngsters who have run afoul of the law, or are neglected or mistreated.

It is the duty of the division to exe cute the orders of the court in all types of civil proceedings, and to subpeona witnesses in crim inal proceedings. It would be only human for an officer assigned to such tasks to become dis couraged when others no more dedicated to their jobs receive most of the publicity. There is nothing easy about the job. A great deal of knowledge of civil law is required, as well as the ability to meet and work with people in a tactful, understanding manner. There are times, too, when the job calls for as much courage and judgment as is required by any other officer. A man whose automobile is being repossessed, one who is being evicted from his home, or one whose paycheck has been attached, can be just as belligerent as a fighting dr·unk. Captain Koll and his crew are not lacking in any of these requirements, and they do not com plain about the lack of public recognition of their efforts. They go about their daily routine in a quiet, efficient manner that is a credit to the department. (Continued on Page 68 ) S. E. MARINER CO. COOLER PADS 3815 E.

In many instances it would be impossible to identify a suspect and convict him in court without the skill and knowledge of the Bureau personnel. As anyone who has read a few detective stories knows, fingerprints are the most infallible means of identification. However, they are but one of many means of identification used by the mod ern police agency. Others include footprints, tool marks, photographs, blood type, and many others too numerous to mention. Our Bureau is one of the most complete such units in central California, and is equipped to utilize any of the above methods. An important part of the Bureau is the Rec ords Section, including the m.o., or "modus operandi" file, where a record is maintained of any peculiar methods or distinctive character istics employed by a criminal in committing a crime. Since all criminals tend to develop such characteristics, this information often proves in valuable. A truth often heard in the Detective Division is, "Records make a lot of cases for us."

Men working in this division soon gain a great deal of knowledge, through observation, of one of the most baffling problems of today's society-chronic alcoholism. Of the several thousand bookings the jail handles each year, an unbelievable number involve the same few dozen persons coming in repeatedly. Many of them have spent so much time in jail they regard it as their home; a place to rest and recuperate from the ravages of too much drinking. They seem to welcome the restrictions imposed upon them by incarceration as a su bsti tu te for the will power they realize they need but do not possess. Although the members of the Security Divi sion learn a great deal about alcoholism, they are no more able to provide an answer to the problem than are the sociologists, ministers, and physicians who have studied the problem. How ever, they do their best to rehabilitate those who show any desire for help, by providing them a chance to work at the many housekee'ping tasks around the jail, and trying to help them regain their self respect and dignity by treating them as worthwhile fellow human beings. INDUSTRIAL FARM The Industrial Farm, while not actually a part of the Sheriff's Department, is presently under the jurisdiction of the Sheriff. Here the prin ciple of rehabilitation instead of punishment is carried further than is possible in the jail. In mates whose bodies and spirits are often in sad condition as a result of months of drinking are given a chance to improve both physical and mental health by regular hours of work in the open air, and plenty of rest and good, nourishing food. The Industrial Farm program is largely self supporting, since the food produced is used not only there, but at other county supported insti tutions. In addition, the farm furnishes a great deal of the unskilled labor required by the Parks and Recreation Department in developing public recreation facilities throughout the county.

He is a combat veteran of World War I, having spent thirteen months with the AEF in France, where he held the rank of staff sergeant. Following his discharge from the Army in 1919 he attended an embalmer's school, and be came a licensed member of that profession. He was in the insurance business from 1929 until 1940, then sold automobiles for a pioneer Fresno firm for two years. He joined the Sheriff's De partment in December of 1942. For most of his law enforcement career he served as a jailer, and for many years was in charge of the midnight to 8: 00 AM shift in the jail. A great many of us in the department re ceived our first on-the-job training from "Shack."

He was born in Canada, and. spent his boy hood there. He served in the Canadian Army in World War I, and was wounded in combat. He came to Fresno by way of San Francisco follow ing his discharge. Despite the constant possibility of danger in dealing with mentally disturbed persons, rang ing from those merely confused to those with a tendency toward extreme violence, Cliff never carried a gun on the job. Instead he preferred such weapons as tact, kindness, and persuasion, and he proved that these, though less spectacu lar, were more effective for his particular job than those used in other phases of law enforce (Continued on Next Page) BELSTONE GARAGE BEECHER AVAKIAN, Mgr.

He first entered the service of Fresno County as a deputy tax assessor in November of 1930, a position he held until December of 1936. That year he joined the staff of Sheriff George Over holt, and served as a jailer until October of 1938.

Far sighted leaders in law enforcement began to employ specialized groups to deal with the now evident problem. The Fresno County Sheriff's Office has such a group known as the Juvenile Bu reau. The Bureau consists of both male and female officers commanded by a Lieutenant. These officers, qualified by education and ex perience, have come to the Bureau through the ranks of the Sheriff's Office, thereby gaining added and important law enforcement experI ence, quite necessary in the field.

It is the duty of the officer to enforce the law and protect the citizen and the citizen's property. This function is not lessened by specialization. It is the very basis of law enforcement and must be the officer's foremost responsibility. In addition, the Juvenile Officer has the secondary responsibility to attempt to ascertain cause of antisocial behavior on the part of the youth. Often the secondary function cannot be fulfilled due to various reasons, at which time the officer must be capable of rec ognizing the need for referral to a corrective agency, usually the Juvenile Court and Proba tion Office.

Due to this dual scope of the juvenile officer's responsibility and the basic philosophy upon which Juvenile Law in Caljfornia has been con ceived; to wit, that the law is non-criminal in scope and civil in essence, the officer must have 1 thorough understanding of the various codes, police procedures, and human behavior. Since the established practice in handling of fenders, previously by policy and recently by statute, is limited detention, the Bureau regu larly employs the use of citations. This method allows for the immediate release of the offender in the field whenever possible and his future appearance at the Bureau with his parents. At that stage the juvenile officer attempts to com plete his interrogation of the offender and de termine the necessary course of action. The action may be anyone of a number of methods, for the most part discretionary on the part of the officer. The offender may be repri manded and released to his parent, cited with the parent to the Probation Office, referred to another agency, or incarcerated. The elements of the individual situation determine the action. The Juvenile Bureau investigates or assists in matters involving juveniles as either offenders or victims. While the majority of the Bureau's cases are directly concerning juveniles, many do involve adults as suspects in crimes against a child. This presupposes that the juvenile officer has knowledge of the accepted criminal pro cedure and that he is capable of dealing with the adult offender. The juvenile officer has an added burden of responsibi]ity, and that is to the parent as well as to the offender and sotiety. As one can well imagine how upsetting can be the revelation that one's offspring is presently involved with the law, it is well to point out the obligation of bringing the parent into the picture as soon as possible after original contact with the youth. Therefore it is necessary for additional time to be spent with the parent in order to obtain the true fullness of the youth's problem, and to ensure adequate understanding on the part of the parent toward the child's present situation. Consequently, for every offender handled at least one extra person must be brought into focus.

BA 7-1570 301 Broadway I I A minor is any person under twenty-one years of age. A juvenile is any person under the age of eighteen years. While the Welfare & Institutions Code, which defines Juvenile Law in California, provides than any person under the age of twenty-one years may come under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court, it is gen erally accepted in most cases involving minors that in criminal proceedings the minor will be handled as an adult. The Juvenile Court does have jurisdiction until the age of twenty-one, but normally exercises such jurisdiction in re gards to juveniles only. The basic differences between juvenile and adult criminal proceedings are relatively few. Whereas a complaint is issued charging a viola tion of the Penal Code against the adult by the District Attorney, a petition is filed on "behalf" of the juvenile by the Probation Office alleging a violation of the Penal Code by use of an authority section of the Welfare & Institutions Code; i.e., violation of Section 602 W & I Code (Burglary). An adult has the right to post bail, a juvenile normally does not. An adult has the right to a trial by jury in open court. A juvenile ha$ the right to a Juvenile Court hearing in pri vate session. Both have similar rights as to coun sel, witnesses, etc. After forty years of existence, the first major revisions of the Juvenile Law went into effect Sept. B, 1961. For enforcement purposes little changed, except by way of condensation of the sections covering reasons for Juvenile Court jurisdiction. Formerly these were covered in Section 700 a through n. They have been re established in Sections 600 a & b (dependent children), 601 (delinquent acts), and Section 602 (criminal acts), all of which are sections of the Welfare & Institutions Code. Presently, an officer may arrest a juvenile without a war rant, with reasonable cause, for a misdemeanor as well as a felony. Under the new statutes the reasons for immediate detention are expressly stated, and citations to the Bureau or the Pro bation Office may be utilized in lieu of incar ceration. The latter citation places a burden on the parent, who must sign to appear with the offender, as failure to do so is a misdemeanor. Juvenile delinquency may be described as (Continued on Next Page) 89 those external manifestations of our youth's failure to adjust to a complex society. The chances of rehabilitation are in direct propor tion to the extent of the maladjustment. N atur ally, the earlier the detection of a juvenile prob lem the less the pattern of poor adjustment; hence, the better the opportunity for correction. Often the situation is reversed and the offender comes to the attention of authorities after a lengthy period of antisocial behavior. This is deemed to be one of the major contributing factors to the high degree of repeating offenders amongst the juveniles. A comprehensive examination of the causa tion of juvenile offenses would be a treatise in itself. In this writing it will suffice to cover a few of the major causes of juvenile problems as experienced on the local level. No discussion of cause could be entered into without the topic of the negative influence of the automobile. Recent studies by insurance companies have disclosed some startling facts; i.e., three times as many youths who drive vehides make failing grades in high school as those who do not. The fact that a youth's grades fall off has long been a criterion of possible juvenile problems. When a youth is provided with a vehicle and slides behind the wheel, for all intent and purposes that youth is no longer under control or super vision. Given an automobile his circle of ac quaintances increases, usually 'unknown to his parents, and the incidence of group pressures increases respectively. This is an important factor since most juvenile offenses are group activity. The added mobility and the lessened proximity of undesirable areas all tend to in crease the opportunity for delinquent acts. As social and economic standards have ex panded into an era of seeming prosperity, the enigma of permissive neglect has multiplied. This is the paradox resulting from an honest attempt to envelope the youth with the vision of the "good things". It stems from a natural desire to shield the child from the distasteful realities which he must someday face ; and in so doing, often leads to a dependency pattern of material subjectiveness and the unconscious granting of license, mistakenly identified as right. The failure of a parent to retain control (Continued on Next Page) and command respect from the youth is a major cause of juvenile problems. While juveniles commit a variety of offenses, the two major ones are found to be burglaries and runaways. In recent years the number of burglaries committed by juveniles has been steadily increasing, and involves male offenders entering homes, stores, and industry. At the same time, runaways are the leading offenses committed by girls. Due to the nature of the offense, the runaway usually extends itself into other areas of enforcement problems. Delinquency control requires the efforts and cooperation of all concerned with youth; par ent, family, school, and community. The con stant effort of law enforcement to function properly within the realm of its intended exis tence, and the ad van tageous u tiliza tion of the resources available will continue to insure the proper treatment of the juvenile offender.

Manning Reedley Each year we take our readers on an imagin ary tour of Fresno County, to meet the various law enforcement officers in outlying towns and judicial districts, and to learn something of their problems. From Edison Lake in the Sierras to Coalinga Mineral Springs west of Coalinga it is approximately two hundred miles. From Mercy Hot Springs west of Firebaugh to Hume Lake in the southeastern corner of the county it is almost as far. Yet all are in Fresno County, and their residents and those of the many communi- AROUND THE ~'COUNTV ties in between are bound together by certain common problems in all phases of county gov ernment, including law enforcement. Therefore we feel we may contribute to the cause of better law enforcement by compiling and reviewing the problems encountered in each section of the county, so that the citizen can compare the problems of other communities with those of his own. Last year we began our tour in the north (Continued on N ext Page) 91 western corner of the county. Just for the sake of variety, this year we will start diagonally across the county in the Dunlap Judicial Dis trict, where Constable Sam Kelly is beginning his second year as the area's chief law enforce ment officer. Either Constable Kelly is an expert at supress ing crime, or the residents of the area are nearly all law abiding citizens. The only crime of vio lence reported from the area last year involved persons who did not reside in the community, and investigating officers were of the opinion it was not nearly as serious as the victim claimed. The victim was one Arthur Yallup of Alberta, Canada. He told investigating officers he had met four men in Fresno, had several drinks with them, then accompanied them to a tavern in Dunlap. There they allegedly beat him, took his money, started to return to Fresno, and forced him out of the car at the corner of High way 180 and Cove Ave. The victim, despite his condition, was able to furnish a fairly accurate description of the sus pects and their car. Constable Kelly located them the next day and brought them to the Sheriff's Department for questioning. They ad mitted having been with the victim, but their story of the details of the evening's activities varied considerably from his. When the officers went to the victim's hotel to question him fur ther, they found he had checked out and appar ently left town. Thus it appeared that what was originally reported as a robbery, assault, and possible kid napping was actually nothing more than a drinking party that got a little out of hand.

BUTTONWILLOW REEDLEY James Martin, Constable Reedley Judicial District Ralph Preheim, Deputy Constable Reedley Judicial District Jim Martin and his deputy, Ralph Preheim, are responsible for law and order. This also is a quiet, law abiding community. Although the economy is largely based upon agriculture, the population is more stable than in many other communities. Constable Martin had several school burglaries last year, most of which have been solved. In February a cafe at the corner of Manning and Alta A venues was robbed. Four suspects held up the proprietor and a customer, taking the money from the cash register and each man's wallet. This case is still under investigation. Chief John Kroeker of the Reedley Police De partment had a quiet year as far as sensational crimes are concerned. However, in a somewhat unusual case, efficient investigation by his de partment saved hundreds of dollars for the citi zens of the community. The investigation occurred last fall, when several home owners complained they had paid exorbitant fees for (Continued on Next Page) BI LL BELKNAP WATER WELL DRILLING GUARANTEED WORK I 9274 S.

Smiley and Bobby Ernest Simon, both of Fresno. After a three week investigation enough evidence was collected to justify an arrest, and the two were subsequently convicted and given stiff jail sentences for operating v.:ith out state licenses. In Orange Cove, the district's other incor porated city, Chief of Police Melvin Clancy and his department reported a very uneventful year. From Reedley we continue west along Man ning Avenue, cross the Kings River, and enter the Parlier Judicial District. Here Constable Ed John Kroeker, Chief of Police Reedley Camino, his deputy, Bob Montague, and the Parlier Police Department dispense law and order. Chief Frank Buchanan of the Parlier Police Department reported nothing more than rou tine traffic arrests and disturbances. However there was a great deal of activity in the rural areas.

In addition to losing his money, he was injured seriously enough to require hospital treatment. He was able to give Constable Camino sufficient information to enable him to locate and arrest the five suspects. A few months later a 69 year old woman living alone was beaten and raped by James Oliver, Jr., a 20 year old farm worker. After the attack the victim telephoned a relative and described her attacker. The information was relayed to Constable Camino, who arrested the suspect a short time la ter. Late in the year the Parlier area, plus the Sanger and Reedley areas, was the theater of operations of a gang of school burglars. Con stable Camino and Deputy Montague were active in the investigation, and were instru mental in the arrest of several pf the suspects and the recovery of a considerable amount of stolen property. Immediately north of the Parlier area is the Sanger Judicial District. In the city of Sanger Chief of Police Carl Armstrong heads one of the most progressive small departments in the state. The department is at the same strength as last year, consisting of fourteen full time officers, and a reserve force to augment the regular staff.

Armstrong that an organized effort on the part of the police in handling juvenile offenders and supporting youth activities is an extremely im portant part of effective law enforcement. Statistics show an appreciable drop in juvenile offenses during 1961. The statistics also show a slight decrease in the number of crimes committed by adult of fenders as compared with the previous year. The department was fortunate to be able to expand its facilities last year, with the addition of a new squad room. The additional space will enable the department to conduct training schools, personnel meetings, and other activities which previously had to be held elsewhere, often away from police headquarters. The expansiorf is expected to add considerably to the overall efficiency of the department. Law enforcement in the rural portion of the district is handled by Constable Hurshel Pigg and his deputy, Val Valles. Probably the most interesting case they were called upon to investi gate during 1961 was a murder occurring in a labor camp on South Riverbend Road. The victim was a farm worker, Luis Garcia, who was shot with a rifle as he stood in the door way of his cabin. He died about two hours later in the Fresno County General Hospital.

Directly west of Sanger is the Fresno Judicial District, which includes the Fresno metropoli tan area. Law enforcement in the rural section is the responsibility of the Sheriff's Department. Due to the density of the population, problems encountered here are virtually the same as those the Fresno Police Department faces inside the city. For that reason the Department operates in much the same way as a large city police department. We regret to state that 1961 was an excep tionally bloody year in the Fresno area·. There were several major robberies, and more than the usual number were accompanied by violence and death. The first occurred shortly after midnight on the morning of February 2nd, in a liquor store on Belmont Avenue operated by Paul Bigrigg. Three men entered, one of them brandishing a .22 caliber revolver, and announced a robbery. Present were Bigrigg, a clerk, and one customer. While the bandits were collecting the wallets from the victims, another customer entered. The robbers turned their attention to him mo mentarily, and Bigrigg took advantage of the distraction, grabbed a .38 caliber revolver from beneath the counter, and started shooting at the suspects. He hit two of them, including the one who had the gun. The gunman returned the fire, hitting Bigrigg in the chest and fatally wounding him. All three suspects then ran from the store, hesitating just long enough to loot the cash register. About two hours later Jimmie Dean Engle bright of Selma was admitted to the county hospital for treatment of a bullet wound. He readily admitted to officers he had been involved in the robbery but refused to identify his compamons. Shortly after daylight a garbage collection crew found the body of a man in an alley several blocks from the crime scene. The de ceased was identified as Henry Thomas, and turned out to be the second robber hit by Big rigg's shots. Officers immediately began a search for Har old Ray Englebright, Jimmie's brother. He sur rendered late the next day, and after questioning 100 him the officers were able to establish a compre hensive account of the events concerning the cnme.

Compton furnished the gun, and they drove to west Fresno and enlisted the aid of Thomas and another subject, who has never been apprehended or identified. When they de cided upon Bigrigg's store, Jimmie, Thomas, and the unidentified man entered, with Jimmie carrying the gun, while the others waited in the car. After the shooting all except Thomas fled in the car, with the unidentified man in possession of the loot. They in tended to take Jimmie to a doctor in Selma, but had a flat tire near Fowler. Harold and one of the juveniles went for help, and returned with a friend named Jack Lambert. The unknown suspect was then robbed of the loot and kicked out of the car, and Lam bert drove the others to the county hospital, where Jimmie was left for treatment. Lambert then took the two juveniles to their homes, and took Harold to Kingsburg, where he spent the night in a motel and hid near a cotton compress until he decided to surrender. The two Englebrights were sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of robbery and mur der, following pleas of guilty. The juveniles were committed to the California Youth Au thority. Jack Lambert and William Englebright, the father of Jimmie and Harold, were both charged with giving false information to investi ga ting officers. A second tragic robbery and murder occurred on May 21st at a Highway City liquor store. The proprietor, Homer P. Bryan, was shot in the back as he was locking the store for the night, and robbed of his day's receipts. There was no indication whatsoever that he had re sisted, and it is possible he was unaware of the robbers' presence.

When officers arrived at the scene, in response to a call from a late customer who found the victim lying in the doorway, they found very little upon which to base their in vestigation. For several days the outlook was quite discouraging. A few weeks later there was a service station robbery in Phoenix, Arizona, in which the pro prietor was shot and wounded. Arizona officers soon afterward arrested one Fred Waldo as a suspect. Their investigation revealed he and a former companion, James Abner Bentley, had been bragging about killing a bartender in Cali fornia. Their description of the crime closely matched that of the Highway City robbery and murder. Sheriff's detectives and Deputy District At torney George Carter went immediately to Phoenix to question Waldo. After talking to him they were convinced he was involved in the local crime, although he would not actually say so. He also mentioned a Merced County couple, Mr. and Mrs. Billy Joe Chapple, and indicated they might have been involved. The Chapples were · pic;ked up for question ing, and admitted having accompanied Waldo and Bentley to Fresno on the night of the rob bery, driving the getaway car, and sharing 111 the loot. They claimed they were forced to participate. Meanwhile Bentley was arrested in Ft. Scott, Kansas, and taken to Phoenix. Shortly after his arrival there he admitted to Arizona authorities his part in the Highway City crime, and also implicated Waldo and the Chapples. By that time it appeared the case here was much stronger than that in Arizona, so the two suspects were released to Fresno County for prosecution here. At a preliminary hearing there was testimony indicating that before the robbery Waldo and Bentley made a fifteen dollar bet as to which would kill the victim. Before the case actually went to trial Waldo and Bentley entered pleas of guilty to charges of robbery, conspiracy to commit murder, and (Continued on Next Page) 104 ThomaJ Higgason Chief of Police, Clovis I CLOVIS READY-MIX CO. 5850 E.

In a subsequent hearing it was deter mined that it was murder in the first degree. A few weeks later a jury, the selection of which required several weeks, ruled that Bentley must die in the gas chamber, and that Waldo be sentenced to life imprisonment. There was never a clear explanation of their reason for making a distinction between the two. The Chapples were then tried for their part in the tragic and useless crime. Mrs. Chapple entered a plea of guilty to being an accessory, and was sentenced to a year in jail. Chapple was found guilty of the same charges as Waldo and Bentley, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Still another case in which a robbery victim was shot had a happier ending, although the suspect has not yet been apprehended. A seven teen year old waitress in a drive-in restaurant was shot in the left arm and chest after she had already given the bandit the money from the cash register. Fortunately, although she had to undergo surgery and a long period of hospitali zation, she recovered without any lasting ill effects. There were several other notable robberies during the year. Clayton Ralph Sagers, a Fresno salesman, was arrested by sheriff's detectives and FBI agents for the robbery of two savings and loan association offices, in which the loot totaled over fifteen thousand dollars. He became a suspect when he spent a two dollar bill taken in one of the robberies. Three Fresno men, Thomas Ray Carrick, Edward J. Lewis, and Jack O. Barnes, and Harold Durfee of Oroville, were arrested in November for the robbery of a market on Bel mont Avenue near Roeding Park and a motel at Belmont and Cedar Avenues. One of the youngest robbery suspects ever arrested by this department was the twelve~ year old boy' who entered a children's clothing store on Cedar Avenue near Shields and spent several minutes posing as a prospective customer, and eyeing the day's receipts which were in a cash bag on the counter. Finally he struck the female proprietor with his fist, cutting her lip. He then apparently was overcome by panic, for he fled empty handed. He was picked up by a sheriff's patrol unit a few minutes later, and admitted he had planned to rob the victim. (Continued on Next Page) 105 Another major crime connected with a rob bery was the kidnapping of the manager of the J. c. Penney store, with his wife. They were taken from their suburban Fresno home and the wife was held hostage in the car while her husband was forced to open the safe. Since the kidnapping occurred in the unincorporated area and the robbery inside the city, the Sheriff's Department and Fresno Police Department worked together on the investigation. At this time the investigation is not completely closed. The case will be discussed further next year. From Fresno we go northeast to Fresno's biggest neighbor, Clovis, and the Clovis judicialJ District. Here the Clovis Police Department is waging a valiant battle in its fight to keep abreast of the problems created by the phenom enal growth of the city. Alvie Maze is serving his fourth term as constable, assisted in his duties James Abner Bentley Fred Waldo by Deputy Fred Sagniere. No doubt the most important arrest made by the Clovis Police Department last year was on February 23rd, when Patrolmen Lyle Smith and jim Raskup caught two suspects removing tires from a recapping firm's warehouse.

Paull, both of Fresno, were booked in the Clovis City Jail, and placed in separate cells, close enough together, however, to enable them to talk to each other. Lt. Gino Pishione hid in the building and listened as the two planned a story to explain their activities. With information thus collected a search warrant was obtained, and the homes of the suspects searched by Clovis Police Depart ment and Sheriff's Department officers. They recovered several thousand dollars worth of stolen property, and implicated the pair in a string of burglaries extending over several months, occurring in the East Fresno and Clovis areas. Lt. Pishione had done another bit of valuable undercover work just a few weeks earlier, when he spen t several weeks posing as a narcotics addict while helping state and local narcotics investigators to trap a known peddler. The trap was sprung in the Biola area late in January.

Constable Maze had a so mewhat unusual crime to investigate last year; the setting of a fire which burned over seyeral hundred acres of trees and grassland ncar a nudist camp north of Clovis. From the beginning of the investiga tion the prime suspect appeared to be a fourteen year old boy who claimed to be a witness, and was quite eager to tell what he had seen. How ever, a little checking proved his story untrue, and he subsequently admitted having started the blaze. He explained he did so because he wanted some excitement. In the field of more conventional crimes, two burglars were caught in the act in separate jobs in the Clovis area. On February 12th Gary Le roy Loyd was captured while trying to pry open the safe in a hardware store on Clovis A yen ue in Tarpey Village. He admitted to three other burglaries of the same establishment, plus six others in the fresno ;lrea and two in Visalia.

Each year there are a few cabin burglaries, petty thefts from camps, and other relatively minor incidents, but seldom is there a major crime. About the most newsworthy event last year occurred on Highway 168 near Humphreys Station, when a Fresno couple were robbed of their car at knifepoint by four men. They had stopped when they saw one man standing by the roadside waving. While he was telling them something about having been involved in an accident and needing a ride to Clovis, the other three appeared. The victim then offered to take one of them to Clovis, but this offer did not satisfy them. One of them drew a knife and held it against the woman'~ throat. Her husband was successful in persuading the suspects to leave her alone, and she ran from the car. They then turned their attention to him, and soon forced him out of the car. By that time one of the suspects, all of whom had been drinking heavily, had passed out in a ditch beside the road. The other three fled in the victim's car, leaving him. He was still there, only semi-conscious, when the officers arrived in response to the victim's call from a nearby farmhouse. The suspect who was left behind was booked in jail and questioned. However, he claimed he was so drunk at the time of the incident he was unable to remember anything. The car was located the next day abandoned in Madera County. Subsequent investigation resulted in the arrest of the other suspects. The subject who actually held the knife LAKE SHORE RESORT ON HUNTINGTON LAKE ANN W. EDWARDS, Owner P. O.

Leaving behind the land of tall pines and fish stories which sound tall but are probably true, we return to the Valley floor and retrace our steps though Clovis and Fresno on Herndon Avenue, cross Highway 99 at the community of Herndon, and enter the Kerman Judicial Dis trict. Constable Henry Wulf, assisted by Depu ties Gene Petrucelli, Louie Perriera, and Adrian White, has one of the busiest areas· in the county. Last year they had quite a variety of major CrImes. The first was the attempted robbery of the Dixieland Cafe on Whitesbridge Road, occur ring on January 29th. Early in the evening a young man entered, armed with a .22 caliber rifle and wearing a lady's nylon stocking as a mask. He was followed a moment later by two others. The waitress ducked behind a counter and ran into an adjoining storeroom. The armed suspect started to follow, when Earl W. Davis, the cafe owner who was seated at the counter, said, "You'd better get out of here, boys. She'll shoot you." All three suspects then ran out the front door, got into a car in which three other youths were waiting, and fled, going west on Whitesbridge. The investigating officers who arrived a short time later put out a radio broadcast describing the suspects and their car. Constable BiU Tray lor of Firebaugh, hearing the broadcast, remem bered that a Firebaugh youth named Edward Wayne Pugh owned such a car, and also recalled having seen Pugh and several other youths to gether in Firebaugh earlier in the day. Constable Traylor, his deputies, and the Fire baugh Police Department apprehended all six suspects later in the evening. The others were identified as Homer O. Brown and Deryle L. Maxwell, also of Firebaugh, and three juveniles. All subsequently admitted being involved in the crime. All were committed to the custody of the California Youth Authority, since aU were under twenty-one years old.

This was the arrest early in June of \\lillard Taylor who had committed approximately forty school burglaries in northern Kings Count)' and south ern and western Fresno County during the pre vious few months. His activities had become so widespread and frequent that officers in both counties were watching several schools each night in an attempt to apprehend him. Early on the morning of June 7th Sgt. Joe White of the Kerman Police Department was patrolling near the Kerman Elementary School. He noticed a parked automobile, and saw a man get out and lay three objects on the ground. As he approached the man jumped back into the car and pretended to be asleep. The articles removed from the car turned out to be a sledge hammer and two pry bars. Sgt. \Vhite took the suspect into custody and other officers concerned were notified. The arrest cleared the series of school bur glaries, as well as several burglaries of business establishments. The wspect, who had a long record of burglary and theft convictions, was sentenced to state prison. Probably the most newsworthy crime occur ring in the Kerman area last year was the kid napping of a seven month old Biola baby. She was taken from her parents' home by a woman who had been living with the family, and who was caring for the baby while the mother worked.

One disquieting fact was uncovered, however; she had been involved in similar crimes several times before. For three days officers sent teletypes and checked leads all over the state, searching for the woman and the borrowed car in which she had disappeared. On the evening of the third day, when no encouraging news had been received and officers began to doubt that the tiny victim would be found alive, the suspect surrendered to the Santa Ana County Sheriff's Department. The baby was still with her, unharmed and in good condition. The woman explained she had intended to take the child to Texas and rear it as her own, but had changed her mind when she ran out of money.

Deputy Constable Gene Petrucelli, with the kind of luck all peace officers dream abou t, walked into Toner's Market at Shields and Ma dera Avenues to make a purchase, and inter rupted a holdup man who was about to tie up the proprietor with a rope. The SUSPp.ct, Ernest Rodriquez of Lanare, was armed, but offered no resistance when the officer drew his revolver and ordered him to surrender. Following a plea of guilty, the suspect was placed in the custody of the California Youth Authority. Late in the year officers were called to investi gate the beating and robbery of Fritz Young, proprietor of the Vineland Grocery at Shaw and Madera Avenues, and Otto Swanson, a customer. Almost forty years ago, on J anuary 6th, 1922, Young's father, August Young, W:J.S shot and killed in a holdup of the same store.

He was replaced by officer Dean Reasy. The district's other incorporated city, San Joaquin, has no police department. Instead, the city has a contract with the county whereby Deputy Constable Adrian White devotes part of his time to policing the city. North and west of the Kerman area is the Firebaugh Judicial District. There are two in corporated cities in the area; Firebaugh, where John McClain is Chief of Police, and Mendota, where the police department is headed by Chief Frank Cantwell. Law enforcement in the rural areas is handled by Constabie Bill Traylor and his deputies, James Hamm and Russel Long. There was no major crime within the city limits of Mendota during the year. The police department looks upon 1961 as a year of prog ress. Among the many improvements was the establishment of the municipal radio frequency, coupled with a working agreement with the Mid-Valley Fire District whereby the two agencies montor each others radio calls, and· thus provide better police and fire protection. Several items of equipment have been added, and a uniform and cleaning allowance secured for department personnel. Personnel changes have included two promo tions for Chief Cantwell; first, to sergean t, and later to chief. There was almost a complete turnover in personnel. David Betts, formerly of Hanford, was hired in April, and in Decem ber Charles Dunn, veteran of the Kerman and (Contillued 011 Next Page) l1S Firebaugh Ponce Department Back row: Patrolman Paul Howard, Chief John D.

Besides Cantwell, the only "old timer" on the force is matron Karen Knight. As has already been mentioned, the Firebaugh Police Department was instrumental in the cap ture of the gang of juveniles who had attempted to rob the Dixieland Cafe in Kerman.

He was sentenced to state prison for the act. Deputy James Hamm, investigating·a report of child neglect in the rural Mendota area, found two adults, a mother and daughter, their three children, twenty-two dogs, and five cats living in a small house. The children were being forced to live under such filthy and unhealthful con ditions, due to the number of animals, they were removed from the home and m ade wards of the Juvenile Court.

Constable Quinney, who is in his first term as constable, is a veteran of several years service with the Coalinga Police Department, where he attained the rank of captain. He is therefore very familiar with the law enforcement prob lems of his district, and does an excellent job of crime suppression. He had a few thefts of oil field and mining equipment to investigate last year; otherwise, all was relatively quiet. Deputy Constable Smith, who ordinarily takes care of the rural Huron area, had his usual troubles with disturbances in the many farm labor camps, but nothing of a really serious nature. Chief of Police A. C. Griffith of the Coalinga Police Department also reports a very quiet year. The department is particularly proud of the (Continued on Next Page) city's traffic safety record. 1961 was the six teenth consecutive year without a traffic fatality. The city of Huron had a rather wild and wooly reputation not too many years ago. The city's permanent residents were law-abiding; however, the trouble was caused by the great number of migratory workers who swell the community's population during the melon and cotton harvests each year. Recently, however, the town seems to have become much more sedate. This is no doubt at least partially due to the work of ChIef of Police Clarence Eno~ and his staff. The most interesting crime occurring there last year wa·s not a mur der, a robbery, or any other crime of violence, but a much more sophisticated type of offense. It was a grand theft, committed through the use of a racket known as a prepaid loan agree ment. Briefly, the racket is worked in this manner. The suspect, who usually represents himself as a broker, approaches his intended victim, usually a businessman, and offers to help n~gotiate with lending companies for a sizable loan. He asks for a substantial fee in advance, but eases any qualms the victim might have by assuring him the fee will be refunded if the loan application is rejected. When the suspect has pocketed the money, he prepares a very impressive looking brochure on the victim's financial standing. He explains he is mailing copies to various lending companies in other parts of the country, and that an answer will be forthcoming. When, after a few weeks of fruitless waiting, the victim inquires about the delay, he is assured that such matters require a great deal of time. If the victim becomes suspicious enough to de mand a return of his fee, the suspect reminds him that, according to their agreement, the fee (Confirmed on N ext Page) PACKARD 'I Termite and Pest Control Ph.

That never happens; the loan com panies, if they exist at all, simply do not answer the application. By the time the victim over comes his reluctance to admit he has been taken, and reports the matter to authorities, the suspect has disappeared. Even if he hasn't, it is usually difficult to prove any criminal intent. The Huron case last year was an exception to the general rule. The victim, a local business man, had the courage and judgment to admit his mistake while the suspect, identified as Nor man T. Firebaugh, was still in the area. He reported the incident to Chief Enos, who, work ing with the Better Business Bureau and the District Attorney's office, was able to collect enough evidence to justify a criminal complaint. Firebaugh was arrested, and, although there was insufficient evidence for a grand theft convic tion, he was given a substantial jail term for acting as a broker without a license. Heading back toward the central portion of the county, we enter the Riverdale Judicial District, which includes the unincorporated communities of Five Points, Burrel, Lanare, Riverdale, and Laton. Constable Al Nester and his deputies, Arnie Goble and William Milliken are responsible for raw and order. They had a great deal of excitement during 1961. Their first major case was the rape of a woman in the Burrel area. When she answered a knock at her door early on the morning of January 16th, she was dragged from her porch by two men, one of whom was a casual acquaintance. They forced her into an automobile, took her several miles away, assaulted her, then returned her to the vicinity of her home. Constable Nester, enroute to the victim's home to investigate, met the suspects a short distance away, but naturally was unaware of their identity at the time. However, he had no trouble locating them again when he had heard the victim's story and obtained a description of (Continued on Next Page) Huron Lumber 1:7 SUlpply, Inc. Paints _.

Deputy Constable Arnie Goble had his share of excitement when, answering a call in the rural Riverdale area, he was greeted by gunfire. The bullets struck his automobile, but he escaped Injury. The woman who had called Goble later told officers she had attended a party at the home of a neighbor, and another guest, Arthur D. Keel, accosted her, threatened her with a. small re volver, and forced her to return to her home. There she talked to him for some time before she had a chance to summon Goble by telephone. \'Vhen Goble drove into her yard she ran from the house. Keel fired at her, the bullet striking her in the left hip. He then fired the two shots which hit Goble's car. When Goble returned the fire he fled on foot through a field at the rear of the house. Keel was arrested the next day in his Lemoore home by sheriff's officers, Constable Nester, and Kings County Constable Frank Silva. Frank Gillis, a Five Points laborer, was killed in a labor camp fight which had started as an argument over a twenty-five cent piece which had been won in a dice game. Witnesses stated Robert D.

This is reminiscent of fron tier days when there used to be some pretty violent disputes over the ownership of water rights. Adjoining the Riverdale area on the north is the Caruthers Judicial District, which includes the communities of Caruthers and Raisin City, and is the territory of Constable Aubrey Byars. The Caruthers area has not had a really major crime of violence for many years. Last year, however, it was the scene of one of the most heart-rending cases to come to the attention of the department. One afternoon early in June a report was received of a child crying under un explained circumstances in a cabin at Mt. View and Elm Avenues. Investigating officers found a tiny five year old girl imprisoned in a card board packing case about three feet square. She had apparently spent several days there, since a few rags had been provided for her to sleep on and there was a coffee can she had used for a toilet. Su bseq uen t in vestiga tion revealed that the (Continued on Next Page) Calflax Ranch & Store FIVE POINTS 127 parents, Mr. and Mrs. Vidal Muniz, had kept the girl penned up in the box for almost a week day and night, and that she had been left alone in the cabin, with the door locked, during the day while the parents were at work. Their only explanation was that they did not like girls. This was borne out by the fact their other child, a two-year old boy, had apparently been treated in a normal manner. Except for being somewhat under-nourished and extremely frightened, the child apparently had suffered no permanent injury as a result of her mistreatment. Needless to say,. however, the children were placed in foster homes and the parents booked in jail. They later were sen tenced to long jail terms, and placed on proba tion by Judge Elmer Cowan.

Several days of investigation passed without a break in the case. On March 15 th the victim's identification papers were found at the scene of an automobile accident in Ventura County. One of the persons involved was killed and the other injured. The victim identified the deceased as the leader in the robbery and kidnapping. Thus the Kings burg Police Department was able to clear the case, even though no arrest was made. Proceeding north on Highway 99 on the last leg of our trip, we enter the Selma Judicial Dis trict. As was mentioned in our "In Memoriam" article, this area suffered a great loss last year with the death of Constable !ver Johanson. Clarence Bentley, a former member of the Selma Police Department, was appointed to succeed him. Bentley has big shoes to fill, but he appears to be doing an admirable job. The Sheriff's Department greatly appreciates the fi,ne spirit of cooperation he has exhibited, the same as existed between this department and Con stable Johanson. The biggest crime in the rural Selma area last year was the robbery of the Freeway Lanes, a bowling establishment north of the city on Highway 99, on January 2-3rd. Three suspects entered about 4:00 a.m. and robbed several em (Continued on Next Page) 130 f Selma Steam Laundry & Dry Cleaning Free Pickup & Delivery 1724 Tucker St. TW 6-2075 SELMA G & R Welding & Muffler Shop STOCKS -DUALS -PACKS Gt:NERAL WELDING 2200 Whitson St. TW 6-3852 SELMA THE BROWN STYLE SHOP DOROTHY L.

One customer was struck on the head with a pistol, and injured badly enough to require hospital treatment, when he tried to resist. The suspects attempted to force a waitress to open the safe, and one of them fired a gun when she insisted she did not know the combina tion. They then tied the waitress and fled in a car belonging to a customer. The vehicle was later found abandoned about a mile away. This case is still under investigation. Numer ous suspects have been checked out, but so far there have been no tangible results. The Selma Police Department, under the command of Chief William Davis, had a rob bery of a service station and kidnapping of the attendant quite similar to the one in Kingsburg. However, only one suspect was involved, and the victim was taken only a few miles out of town before being released. Chief Davis reports a generally quiet year. Next stop is the Fowler Judicial District. This area too lost a constable through death re cently. Early this spring Constable Richard Valdez was killed in an automobile accident on Highway 99. Formal tribute will be paid to him in our 1963 edition. Fred Davis, formerly of the Fowler Police Department, has been appointed to fill out his term of office. There were no major crimes in the rural Fowler area last year. Except for a few bur glaries in rural cafes, and the usual number of disturbances, aU was quiet. The United States Army and the California Highway Patrol "raided" the Fowler Police De partment last year, and greatly depleted the ranks. Chief Albert Quintana, an officer in the U. S. Army Reserve, was called to active duty, and is presently stationed at Ft. Lewis, Wash ington. Former Assistant Chief Don Hinton is acting as Chief during Quintana's absence. Officer Charles Cox resigned in September to join the California Highway Patrol. Pat Carna han, formerly of the Parlier Police Department, was appointed to fill the vacancy.

The most frequent activity of the department is the investigation of traffic accidents. Last year the department handled forty-eight accidents at one intersection alone. Nearly all the men have had college training in traffic accident in vestigation. The Fowler Police Department is probably one of the most youthful in the state. As of the first of this year, the oldest member was only twenty-six. In addition to the regular force, the depart ment has a reserve force of three men and one policewoman. We end our trip with the optimistic observa tion that, while Fresno County does have its problems with the criminal element, they are being kept under control. It is encouraging to note that the majority of the persons responsible for the really serious crimes committed in the • county last year have been apprehended. The problem of crime control will never be com pletely solved until human nature changes. ALLEN'S CORNER CAFE 2025 E. Floral TE 4-3458 FOWLER MIRIGIANI ELECTRIC SERVICE TE 4-2691 5487 E.

Jtlil Pedro Ramirez is a mild-mannered, friendly little man, who probably never deliberately harmed anyone in all his seventy-five years. His chief weakness is that he just can't pass up a chance to take a drink. As a result, he has spent most of the past fifteen years in the county jail. He had what amounted to a steady job as park ing lot trusty, sweeping the lot and cleaning the department vehicles. He seemed happy while incarcerated, and was always laughing and joking with the officers and the other trusties, who called him "Pappa Pedro." Not many of his acquaintances knew he had a wife and seven children in Imperial County whom he hadn't' seen for a long time. He hadn't exactly deserted them. In fact, he had started home to see them several times when a jail term was completed. Unfortunately, there are several bars near the bus station, so, instead of boarding the bus he would yield to temptation and end up boarding the Police patrol wagon for another ride back to jail. The next day he would go to court, plead guilty to a charge of drunkenness, and be right back on the job with his broom. Usually his periods of freedom were so short it was unnecessary to find another trusty to take his job. A few days before Christmas Pappa Pedro received a letter from his family, asking him to try to make it home for the holidays. He showed the letter to Lt. Don Christopher, and men tioned that he would really like to go home; however, he was without funds. Lt. Christopher knew Pappa Pedro, no matter how good his in tentions, would never get out of town on his own, even if he had plenty of money, so he decided to make all the arrange ments. First he brought the matter to the atten tion of the other jail officers. A collection was taken, and the problem of a bus ticket thus settled. The next step was to contact the court and make arrangements for him to be released a few minutes before his bus was to leave. Then, as a final precaution, the Patrol Division was asked to escort him to the bus station and see him safely aboard. At the time of departure approached Pappa Pedro solemnly shook hands with the jail officers and trusties, as he bid them a sincere farewell. He seemed a little sad at the prospect of leaving the only home he had known for many years. Sgt. William Young of the Patrol Division saw that he boarded the bus at 8: 00 p.m. on the Friday before Christmas. No one here has seen or heard from him since. His friends on the jail staff sincerely hope the old fellow is staying out of trouble so that he can spend his remaining few years with his family.

Palm Avenue BA 7-3639 FRESNO 141 THE TORTOISE & THE HARE It is generally believed that the motorcycle is one of the most maneuverable vehicles made, capable of a high degree of acceleration; while a panel truck type vehicle, such as a police pa trol wagon, has a reputation of being somewhat clumsy and slow. That this is not always true was demonstrated last fall following a report that several motorcyclists had created a disturb ance in a local tavern, and one of them had struck a patron on the head with a length of chain which had been made into a weapon. The first officers at the scene radioed that the suspects had fled on their motorcycles, scat tering in several directions. About the same time the information was broadcast, two officers en route to the scene in the patrol wagon observed a motorcycle rider emerge from a nearby park ing lot, and take off hurriedly in the opposite direction. They turned around, turned on the red lights and siren, and gave chase. The cyclist, who matched the description of the suspect who had wielded the chain, looked back over his shoulder, saw that he had a couple of blocks advantage, and decided to run for it. The chase began at Kings Canyon Road and Maple Ave., and proceeded west. Had the cyclist elected to use the mobility of his vehicle, he probably would have had little trouble getting away. Instead, he decided to rely on what he thought was an advantage in speed, and stayed . PRISONER IN CUSTODY on Kings Canyon. The officers were gammg when he turned north at First St., a mile and a half from Maple. They lost ground when they slowed for the turn, but gained it back by the time the cyclist had reached McKenzie Ave., three-fourths of a mile north. There he turned left, and then looked over his shoulder to watch the top-heavy patrol wagon careen around the corner. As he did so, he apparently cramped the front wheel, almost upsetting him, and at the same time his engine started missing. While he was still trying to recover, the officers drove alongside, and one of them leaned ou t and dis mounted him with the nightstick. The captured cyclist turned out to be the One guilty of the assaul t. He was wearing the chain as a belt, and was attempting to get it off, ap parently to use it against the officers, when he was subdued. He subsequently was given a state prison sentence for the assault. In addition to this punishment, it must have been quite a blow to his pride to have been chased and caught by a patrol wagon. 2901 N.

NEVADA In addition to those mentioned in other articles, the Sheriff's Department has several other volunteer auxiliary organizations, made up of public spirited citizens who donate their time, effort, and sometimes money to public serVIce. The Sheriff's Posse is a group of horsemen who are always available to assist in rescue work and searches in areas where vehicles are useless. There hasn't been a great deal of need for their services recently, but they are always ready to go when called. The Posse provides a great deal of good pub licity for the department and the county by participation in parades all over central Cali fornia. With their matched palominos, colorful uniforms, and precision riding, they are an im pressive spectacle in a parade, and usually come out close to the top in competition with other such units. I I I -NO PAY The Sheriff's Air Squadron's activities are reported in a separa te article. The Uniformed Reserve is composed of several citizens from various fields of endeavor who have been trained in routine police work. They furnish their OWn uniforms and equipment, and devote a grea t deal of time assisting the regular components of the department, usually the patrol, in situations calling for a temporary increase in manpower. Among their duties for the past year was the policing of Christmas Tree Lane during the holiday season, and guarding and transporting funds collected in public charity drives. One of the most active of the department's auxiliary organizations is the Sheriff's Power boat Squadron. The members devote a great deal of time and effort, using their own equip ment, to patrolling the various lakes and water (Continued on Next Page) TI NKLER MISSION CHAPEL FUNERAL DIRECTORS 475 N.

During the past few years the problem of civil defense has entered the pic ture. Therefore a serious and long unanswered question has been, What would happen if, in an emergency, the radio system should be rendered inopera tive? A big step toward solving this problem in Fresno County was taken last year, through the efforts of Sheriff Willmirth, Civil Defense Di rector Stuart Sorenson, and several public spir ited amateur radio enthusiasts, who organized the Fresno County Sheriff's Communications Reserve. This group will be available to assist the department in maintaining communications in any emergency. Plans are not complete, but the following system has been devised for main taining radio contact with the patrol cars. If our regular radio system should be put out of action, the reserve group would set up a com munications control center in the sheriff's of fice building, using their own battery powered equipment. Each patrol unit would be accom panied by a reserve member in his own car, equipped with a two-way radio. Messages for a patrol unit would be broadcast from the con trol center to the reserve member following it. He would signal the patrolman to stop, and then relay the message.

This group compiled an excellent record, and its members donated many hours in assisting in searches for bodies of drowning victims, and attempting to locate stolen property or evidence which had been thrown into a stream or a canal. The only disadvantage to their use, how ever, was one common to all auxiliary groups. Its members have jobs and businesses of their own to take care of, and naturally cannot al ways he available at a moment's notice. There fore, when Sheriff Willmirth learned there were )everal trained and experienced Scuba divers in the department, plus several members who were interested in learning the technique, he decided an underwater rescue and recovery squad should be formed within the department. Many members of the department volun teered for the squad, including two women, whose applications were denied, due to the po tentially hazardous nature of the work. Among A NURSERY P. H.

They were put in charge of training of the group. Before the squad actually finished their training program they were sent on an actual mission, to search the waters of Avacado Lake for the body of a drowning victim. The mission was completed within twenty minutes after the divers entered the water; a fraction of the time ic would have taken with the old-fashioned dragging method. Several other times during the summer the squad was called upon for a similar grim task. Their ability to go to the scene and complete their mission quickly saved the families of the victims many hours of uncertainty. While there is never a chance, by the time they are called, that the victim's life can be saved, and the sur vivors know this, there still is a certain degree of relief experienced once the body is located and recovered.

It seems that each time a dam is built, creating a new lake, there are boat Owners in line waiting to launch their craft before the concrete is dry. This overcrowding of recrea'tional facilities created, for a time, a hazardous condition, since with no regulations to follow, each boat owner operated as he pleased. As a result, a few years ago the Fresno County Board of Supervisors enacted a Water Safety Ordinance. Most boat owners are aware of the existence of the ordinance, and copies of it have been fairly well distributed by sporting goods stores and boa t dealers.

Despite. the widespread distribution of copies of the water safety ordinance, the excuse most frequently given by violators is, "I didn't know it was against the law."

The Patrol Division prides itself upon its ver satility, and ability to handle any situation it may encounter. Therefore Deputy Gerald Law less, though slightly astonished, was not par ticularly concerned about a course of action when he saw the drunken young woman stag gering down the white line of a busy street with a small baby in her arms. The problem was a little unusual, but it apparently was nothing any experienced patrolman couldn't handle. He de cided to take them both to headquarters, book the mother in jail, and turn the baby over to a relative. When, after they arrived at headquarters, the mother refused to divulge the name of a friend or relative who could take the baby, the situa tion was still not beyond control. Sgt. Gene HaUam, when his advice was sought, said, "It's simple. In her condition she has to go to jail. She can't take the baby with her. So, if she won't tell us who can keep it, we'll take it to social service and let them place it in a foster home." Even when the mother became belligerent and refused to give up the baby, the officers were equal to the challenge. With the assistance of Radio Operator Louise Hill they managed to take the baby from her without a great dea] of difficulty. Lawless and Lt. Warren Saunders then marched the mother off to jail, leaving Mrs. Hill and the sergeant to take the baby to the Social Service worker at the Genera~ Hospital. At this point, the picture changed rapidly. ~ Mrs. Hill, preparing to wrap the baby in a blan (Contimeed on Next Page) Cocktail Lounge Restaurant 2326-2332 VENTURA FRESNO, CALIFORNIA ENJOY OUR * TACOS* ENCHILADAS* COMBINATION DINNERS at TACO TIENDA 2345 Blackstone BA 9-9712 165 ket, noticed tlut certain adjustmenrs were needed in its intimate apparel. She bravely began, but was soon beyond her depth. AlthoUigh she is a mother, her baby is now a member of the U.S. Coast Guard, and she is a little out of prac tice in folding diapers. She looked questioningly at the sergeant, who shook his head, claiming that he never had been very familiar with that particular aspect of parenthood. For a moment it appeared that the patrol division had finally encountered a problem it :ouldn't solve. However, the day was saved by Deputy Robert Kahl, the desk officer. When appraised of the situation, he walked calmly to the table where the baby lay, shook his head dis gusted}y at the ignorance of his fellow officers, and proceeded to do a job that would have been a credit to a nurse in a maternity hospital. Kahl is the father of an infant daughter.
