Pepsi -Cola Bottling Co. of Fresno 2751 South Maple Avenue, Fresno, Calif. art rriTU�t�riT MANY IMPROVEMENTS have been made in the field of law enforcement in recent years, and many new faces have joined our ranks. However, when we measure our achievements we must not forget that these gains will have to be offset by the loss of the men and women who have done so much to make our progress possible. This past year we were struck particularly hard by the deaths of five active law enforcement members, three from our own department and one each from Sanger and Kingsburg. Mrs. Lillian Watson, an account clerk in the Civil Division, passed away on April 6, 1967, from cancer. Lillian was born on October 14, 1903 in San Fran- cisco. She is survived by her two sons, Ronald of Vi- salia and Kenneth of Los Angeles; a brother, Louie Shen - son of San Francisco; three sisters, Mrs. Reva Mason, Mrs. Gertrude Shenson, and Mrs. Dorothy Farlow, all of San Francisco, and one grandchild. Lillian was a person dedicated to her loved ones and to her many friends. Although she suffered for many months before her death, never once did she complain or make herself a burden upon her friends or family. She worked at her position diligently and faithfully until she was too ill to continue her employment. Lillian was a member of our department for fourteen years. Her dedication to her duties and her fellow employees will long be remembered. On August 21, 1967, we were stunned by the sudden death of Sergeant of Detec- tives Dan F. Conway who succumbed to an intestinal disorder. Dan was a member of a well -known Fresno family. His father, the late Daniel Francis Conway, Sr., was District Attorney of Fresno County from 1934 to 1939 when he was appointed to the Superior Court by Governor Earl Warren. He held this position at the time of his death in 1948. Sgt. Conway was born in Bakersfield on February 28, 1920. He attended schools in Fresno and was a graduate of Fresno High School. He joined the Sheriff's Department in 1945 after his discharge from the U. S. Coast Guard. He served as a bailiff and as a jailor, and at the time of his death was a member of the Detective Division. In 1952, he was promoted to Sergeant and assigned to the Arson and Robbery detail where he achieved an enviable reputation as an efficient, imaginative, and thorough investigator. Those of us who knew and worked with Dan will long remember his friendli- ness and his keen sense of humor. Somehow, it seems that things at the Sheriff's Department will never be the same again without Sgt. Conway. He is survived by his wife, Olive, two sons, Daniel and Steven Conway, and his mother, Avis Conway, all of Fresno. (Continued on Next Page) Constable Hurshel W. Pigg of the Sanger Judicial District passed away on October 29, 1967 at his home. Hurshel Pigg was born at Stockton, California, on March 5, 1923. He attend- ed schools in Clovis and Sanger and was graduated from the Sanger Union High School in 1941. During World War II he served as a Sergeant in the China-Bur- ma-India theater with the 374th and 375th Bomber Squadron. After his discharge in 1946, he became a licensed insurance agent. His career as a peace officer began in the Sanger Police Department in 1949. In order to further his technical knowledge of police work, he attended F.B.I. training classes and studied Police Science at the College of the Sequoias and at Fresno State College. In 1945 he was elected Constable of the Sanger Judicial District. He was re- elected in 1960, and again in 1966. He was a Past President of the Judges, Marshals and Constables Association of Fresno County. r— Constable Pigg was a big man; he stood six feet seven elAbinches. However, he will long be remembered as a man with a big heart and an easy smile. Along with his wife, Carolyn, he is survived by his daughters, Marilyn and Keren. Deputy Donald L. Wright passed away unexpectedly on December 24, 1967, at the ageof 45. Don was a native of Clovis and attended schools in Fresno. He graduated from the old Fresno Technical High School in 1941. During World War II he served in the U. S. Navy as a gunner's mate. Don joined the Sheriff's Department on October 13, 1949, and served in several capacities, including war- rants, patrol, the jail, and as a court bailiff. He also served as an honorary member of the Sheriff's Power- boat Squadron, devoting many hours of his off -duty time as a volunteer. In addition, he was also active in the Boy Scouts of America. At the time of his death he was a Bailiff in the court of Judge Kenneth Andreen. Don's easy smile and helping hand will be sorely missed by all his fellow officers and co- workers by his widow, Verna, and one daughter. . Donis survived The City of Kingsburg lost it's Chief of Police, C. B. McGraw, on December 9, 1967, when he passed away after undergoing delicate heart surgery at the Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, California. Chief McGraw was a Past President of the Kingsburg Kiwanas Club, a char- ter member of the Kings River Golf and Country Club and had served as Chief of Police for ten years. He was a native of Bowie, Texas, and had been a police officer in Bakersfield and a member of the California Highway Patrol before coming to Kingsburg where he operated a feed store before joining the local police department. Chief McGraw was extremely well -liked and respect- ed by the members of his community and by all the mem- bers of the Sheriff's Department who had the pleasure of working with him. A scholarship for criminology stu- dents from Kingsburg is being established as a memorial. Though these friends are gone, they will long be remembered, not only by their fellow workers, but by all who knew them. To their families goes our sincere sympathy. F4oC*S4o0,aR4oAe Fresno County Sheriffs Office Relief Assn. Joins P*O*R*AoC* Twenty -three years after P.O.R.A.C. was born, the F.C.S.O.R.A. has become a member of the Organization. The Peace Officer's Research Associa- tion of California was formed to meet the needs of Police Departments and Sheriff's Departments in California by informing them of detrimental legislation being considered in Sacramento as far back as 1954. It was in October of that year that the first meeting of many of the major police departments in Cali- fornia was held in Oakland to discuss certain pending legislation that would adversely affect law enforcement officers. Fromthismeeting grew the organization of today that represents over 130 police organizations and in excess of 24,000 law enforcement officers. P.O.R.A.C. is a statewide group composed of individual Police Organizations that have banded together for a common goal —the pro - fessionalization of the Police Officer. Indi- viduals are not allowed to join since the pur- pose of P.O.R.A.C. is to reach the individual law enforcement officer through his own organized police association. The objectives of P.O.R.A.C. are best stated in Article II of its constitution which declares: "The object and purpose of the association shall be to collect, study, standardize, summarize and to disseminate factual data for the purpose of promoting the professionalization of the police service and to stimulate mutual coop- eration between law enforcement agencies."

Peace Officers Research Association of California The Profess ionalization Committee was instrumental in the development of the com- mission for Peace Officer's Standards and Training which guarantees the public that its tax dollar is being spent on the best possible law enforcement by having each and every officer trained thoroughly to do his job. Through P.O.R.A.C., the Fresno County Sheriff's Office Relief Association has been able to more than double its members' life insurance benefits at no additional cost to the member. This means that a deceased officer will be able to leave $4,500.00 to his widow and children. The Fresno County Sheriff's Relief Asso- ciation joined P.O.R.A.C. in June of 1967 and their insurance program was effective Sep- tember 1st of that year. Though we were somewhat tardy in joining, we are now proud to be new members of P.O.R.A.C. VALLEY ICE COMPANY 2003 Cherry Phone 237 -6145 Compliments of SHERMAN THOMAS ENTERPRISES WHAT ARE POLICEMEN MADE OF? Excerpt fron,i PAUL HARVEY NEWS . . . October 27, 1967 DON'T CREDIT ME with this mongrel prose; it has many parents; at least 420 thousand of them: Policemen. A policeman is a composite of what all men are, a mingling of saint and sinner, dust and diety. Culled statistics wave the fan over the stinkers, underscore instances of dishonesty and brutality because they are "news." What that really means is that they are exceptional, unusual, not commonplace. Buried under the froth are the facts. Less than one -half of one percent of policemen misfit that uniform. That's a better average than you'd find among clergymen. What is a policeman made of? He, of all men, is at once the most needed and the most unwanted. He's a strangely nameless creature who is "Sir" to his face and "fuzz" behind his back. He must be such a diplomat that he can settle differences between individuals so that each will think he won. But... If the policeman is neat, he's conceited; if he's careless, he's a bum. If he's pleasant, he's a flirt; if he's not, he's a grouch. He must make in an instant decisions which would require months for a lawyer.

He must be first to an accident and infallible with a diagnosis. He must be able to start breathing, stop bleeding, tie splints and, above all, be sure the victim goes home without a limp. Or expect to be sued. The police officer must know every gun, draw on the run and hit where it doesn't hurt. He must be able to whip two men twice his size and half his age without damaging his uniform and without being "brutal." If you hit him, he's a coward; if he hits you back, he's a bully. A policeman must know everything —and not tell. He must know where all the sin is —and not partake. The policeman must, from a single human hair, be able to describe the crime, the weapon and the criminal —and tell you where the criminal is hiding. But... If he catches the criminal, he's lucky; if he doesn't, he's a dunce. If he gets promoted, he has political pull. If he doesn't, he's a dullard. The policeman must chase bum leads to a dead end, stake -out ten nights to tag one witness who saw it happen —but refuses to remember. He runs files and writes reports until his eyes ache to build a case against some felon who'll get dealed -out by a shameless shamus or an "honorable" who isn't. The policeman must be a minister, a social worker, a diplomat, a tough guy and a gentleman. And of course he'll have to be a genius ... For he'll have to feed a family on a policeman's salary.

For many years most local agencies relied heavily upon the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation for various short -term, in- service training sessions. These sessions, while vital, were designed to supplement con- tinuing and established training programs. They were not intended to provide complete training for officers. Of all police agencies in the area only one maintained its own train- ing academy. The rest were forced to rely upon on- the -job training. This method was excellent in some instances, poor in others. It provided for a great variance in content VIE -DEL COMPANY 11903 South Chestnut 834 -2525 FRESNO, CALIFORNIA .

The commission is capable of establish- ing rules and regulations governing minimum standards for police training, and may permit such training to occur at existing institutions approved by the commission. It is further able to inspect and examine the institution and its program at any time to insure compli- ance with commission standards. Furthermore, the state, in an attempt to upgrade police training, established in the State Treasury a Peace Officers' Training Fund for the cost of providing such training. Among other things, this fund provides for the reimbursement to the local agency of the salary and expenses incurred in sending offi- cers to the various academy training centers. The centers are chosen by the commission and exist within a reasonable distance of enough agencies to provide a convenient training facility. In the Fresno area this cen- ter is located at Fresno City College and is properly known as the State Center Police Academy. Since its inception in 1965, the one local agency having its own academy has closed that facility and is availing itself of the state service. Instructors for the academy are members of various police agencies, augmented by F. B. I, instructors. All of the instructors, with the exception of those from the F. B. I., hold valid teaching credentials issued by the State Department of Education after comple- tion of basic requirements set by that agency. These officer - instructors represent varied police services and specialties. Each has at least eight years police experience and many are of administrative rank within their own departments. Three of the instructors are also part -time faculty members at Fresno City College in that institution's Police Sci- ence Department, and one of the instructors is a part -time faculty member at Fresno State College, Department of Criminology. This latter instructor is Captain Harold McKinney, Training Officer for the Fresno County Sher- iff's Department. The Sheriff's Department has six other officers who regularly instruct in the academy. There are two academies presently being presented. These are the Basic Police Acad- emy for in- service officers with less than eighteen months service, and the Police Su- pervision Academy for sergeants and first line supervisors. This latter group also re- ceives this training during the first eighteen months of tenure in rank. 14 SCREEN PRINT All Types of Silk Screen Work 4717 E.

Tulare 255 -0845 Your Hosts Doc & Emogene Armstrong Fresno I +1 The Basic Academy is two hundred hours of instruction following a curriculum set by P. O. S. T. The subject matter is varied and covers the full spectrum of police activity including such areas as law, rules of evi- dence, court procedures, investigation, juve- nile enforcement, jail and security, traffic control, patrol techniques, report writing, public relations, records and communica- tions, defensive tactics, firearms, and first aid. It is an extensive coverage of technical subject matter 'with classes lasting eight hours per day. Each officer is inspected daily and each must conform to rules and regulations established by the academy and Fresno City College. The officers aretested and the results of their performance ratings are forwarded to their respective depart- ments. The course is intensive and demands are made upon the person to assimilate knowl- edge in a short period of time. A Basic Acad- emy is offered in the fall and spring semes- ters of each year. Average attendance is thirty, thus producing sixty fully trained offi- cers for the surrounding communities each year. Graduates are issued a certificate of completion by the State Center Junior College District, and further receive the P. O. S. T. Basic Certificate from the state. These offi- cers are then eligible to work toward the ful- fillmentof the requirements for the P.O.S.T. Intermediate and Advanced Certificates is- sued after further police service and training. The Police Supervision Academy is of- fered as needed, but no more than once in a year. It consists of eighty hours of full -time instruction in the area of basic supervision techniques and administrative principles. Again, the curriculum is established by P. O. S. T. and adhered to rigidly. The offi- cers attend class in uniform, they are subject to daily inspection, and the rules and regula- tions of the school apply. Officers completing (Con inued on Next Page) ROBERTS FIG CO. 5789 N. West Avenue Fresno the course receive a P. O. S. T. Police Super- vision Certificate. Officers attending such academies are representative of various state investigative and regulatory agencies, the California High - way Patrol (limited to the Supervision Acad- emy), various local police agencies, Sheriff departments, and constables. This means the broad spectrum of police service in the Fresno area receives standard, fundamental training in the various aspects of law enforce- ment, increasing the individual officer's knowledge and proficiency, and thereby in- creasing the efficiency of local police service for the citizens of the surrounding area. The officers gain insight into police serv- ice through their association with the mem- bers of other departments. They are exposed to multiple methods and are better able to recognize the strengths and weaknesses that may exist within their own departments. They are better able to understand their own limi- tations and the limitations of other agencies with whom they must work. This will provide increased police cooperation in the future as officers are making personal inter - agency contacts that were not as readily made a few years ago. The total administrative responsibility for the academies is under the direction of Mr. Curt Lackey, Dean of the Technical and Industrial Division, Fresno City College. Administrative application is carried out through the efforts of Der. Earl Pugsley, Po- lice Science Coordinator, Fresno City Col- lege. This entails curriculum, scheduling, recruitment of instructors, reporting, and other administrative duties. These adminis- trators are assisted by a Police Advisory Board consisting of representatives from various police agencies in the area. It was the intention of the legislature to provide California with properly trained law enforcement personnel. Through the cooper- ation of law enforcement and the college com- munity, local officers are taking into the streets of their communities new knowledge, skills, and attitudes. From this effort stems the foundations of law enforcement in a free society. AL (PAPPY) PAPULIAS Res. Ph. 227 -7872 • 1731 E.

Matters of discipline, in- ternal problems and community relations are directed to this division. The training of new recruits and the con- tinuous program of refresher courses for all employees is a basic responsibility of this division. A wide range of courses are given throughout the year to keep personnel abreast of current law enforcement techniques and the ever - increasing changes brought about by court decisions and changes in the law. The State Center Peace Officers' Training Acad- emy, partially staffed by the Sheriff's Depart- ment personnel, gives each new recruit the necessary fundamentals for a career in law enforcement. Added to this are the Roll Call Training Bulletins, In- service Courses, and F.B.I. Courses. Another prime responsibility of this divi- sion is personnel; the filling of vacancies within the department, promotions, adding new positions and reclassifying existing ones, interviewing applicants and making extensive background investigations all come under this heading. This division has the direct supervisory control over the Special Investigations 'Unit and the Coroner's Bureau. The Department Speaker's Bureau also receive their assign- ments from the Administrative Division. Dur- ing the past year speakers from this depart- ment have made 125 appearances and spoken to 10,417 persons on a wide range of topics. Also assigned to the Administrative Divi- sion are the bailiff personnel, manning the six Municipal and eight Superior courts in Fresno. Their duties consist of transporting prisoners to and from jail to court, maintain- ing order during court sessions and taking charge of juries during deliberations. Each year, the Administrative Division faces the task of preparing the annual budget request for funds. Before presenting the re- quest to the Board of Supervisors, each item of new equipment, additional personnel re- quests, supplies and services must be care- fully evaluated and screened to insure the greatest value for the taxpayers' dollar. 17 H.

Fresno CORONERS BUREAU FRESNO COUNTY is one of approxi- mate ly thirty counties in California that have a combined office of Sheriff - Coroner. It is the duty of the Coroner to investigate deaths where a physician cannot legally sign the death certificate. This covers a large number of types of death and includes any criminal death, accident, injury, contagious disease as a public hazard, unattended deaths and those where the physician has not per- sonally attended the deceased within the ten days prior to death. Also where the cause of death is not known by the physician and in all deaths of unidentified persons. The investigators in the Coroner's Bur- eau are trained in death investigation and obtain the information required to establish the Coroner's jurisdiction in handling the case, along with a past medical history, if available, to pass on to the pathologist for his investigation or examination of the body in an autopsy. The Coroner, by law, is authorized to perform an autopsy in cases in which he is required to sign the certificate. This is not onlyto determine the true cause of death but for the benefit of establishing true facts of the death for survivors or anyone connected with the death through civil or criminal action. Coroners' records are public records and available through the County Clerks for a minimal fee. In any criminal or suspicious death, the Coroner works with the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction of the location of death. The Coroner is responsible for all property found on the body at the scene of death and must account for all property taken into his possession. In cases where no rela- tives are located, the Public Administrator is called to take charge of the estate. This is only a small part of the duty of a Coroner. Sincere understanding of the emo- tional strain on the family of a deceased per- son must always be kept in mind, and yet, ability must be exercised to obtain the re- quired information under very emotional sit- uations. We constantly strive towards better pub- lic service to the persons surviving, in addi- tion to conducting the most thorough investi- gation. During 1967 the Coroner's Bureau made 1,268 death investigations and ordered 978 autopsies performed. 20 ANDY J. CAGLIA REAL ESTATE 707 E.

It is the one division no agency can do without. Not only does it serve as the eyes and ears of the agency, but it also represents the means by which the public at large can receive protection and assistance. The contemporary patrolman is faced with a diversity of responsibilities and duties. Among these are the investigation of felony and misdemeanor crimes; the preparation of reports; the arrest and apprehension of sus- pected criminals; assists to citizens; partic- ipation in emergency situations; and business and residential patrol checks. Inherent in the J. BALDWIN Sergeant H. HALLAM Lieutenant 22 on W. SAUNDERS Lieutenant R. CORNELL Sergeant R. WORSTEIN Sergeant W. WEAVER Sergeant W. YOUNG Sergeant PATROL DIVISION duties are long and often tedious hours, not to mention the omnipresent element of danger. We of the Fresno County Sheriff's Depart- ment Patrol Division are constantly striving to better serve our public. We are often re- quired to attend In-Service Training Sessions inorder to expose the officer to the latest in police trends, techniques, and court deci- sions relative to effective law enforcement. Emphasis placed upon education is at an all - time high, and patrolmen are encouraged to further their formal education whenever pos- sible. One cannot fail to mention that within any effective patrol division one will find an equal- ly effective communications staff. This staff at the Fresno County Sheriff's Department consists of radio operators, teletype operat- ors, and telephone switchboard operators. Always alert to serve the public, other law enforcement agencies, and our own field patrolmen, these specialists continue to per- form in an outstanding manner. The primary purpose of any efficient pa- trol division is to serve and protect its pub- lic. We members of the Fresno County Sher- iff's Department Patrol Division hope that we are accomplishing this purpose. We can assure our public that we will continue to perform with the highest of ideals in mind. 1966 1967 Patrol calls answered 36,334 36,267 Patrol miles traveled 670,093 680,726 PAYNE'S SHELL SERVICE Tune Ups - Brakes - Steam Cleaning 7090 N.

Blackstone 224 -4242 33 DETECTIVE DIVISION THE PATROL OFFICER is considered the backbone of a police agency; the detective, a specialist trained to follow up in those areas too time - consuming for the patrolman. Many crimes such as rape, robbery, etc., are ex- tremely complex and require sensitive and specific procedures during the investigation. Court decisions have contributed greatly to the need for a specialized unit in a police agency. Detectives, not being burdened with the mundane but necessary law enforcement tasks, are able to devote all of their attention to those areas requiring investigation. They are also trained and experienced in proce- dures necessary in meeting challenges pre- sented by organized crime. All detectives in the department have served an "apprenticeship" in Patrol. They are selected for assignment to the Detective Division on the basis of their knowledge and their demonstrated proficiency and willing- ness to labor long, uncompensated hours. Seniority in the department becomes a factor when all other considerations are equal. Be- cause of the impact of recent court decisions, detectives can no longer place as much em- phasis on interrogations, but must spend more time and energy on observation, leg -work, and technical services. This has resulted in more convictions due to better preparation of cases by police personnel. During 1967 this Division conducted 4,678 criminal investigations.

Plans for installing a closed- circuit television system to enable observation of all parts of the jail and the activities of the prisoners have not matured. An increase in total bookings and in the average daily population in 1967 were noted. The daily average populations for this year was 530 compared to 510 daily in 1965. A total of 35,440 persons were booked into the jail during 1967. As in previous years, most of the prisoners were charged with drunkeness or related offenses; and, as in previous years, jail terms fail to provide a solution to the basic problem. A revolutionary system for releasing of indigent prisoners, charged but not yet con- victed, was established. The Fresno County Probation Department supervises this pro- gram in which those prisoners unable to fur- nish bail are released on their own recogni- zance when found to be trustworthy by Proba- tion Investigators. Thus far, only a few have failed to appear as promised after release under this program. ITHREE CONVENIENT BANK AT THE BIG ONE FRESNO OFFICES TO SERVE YOU 1722 N.

To coordinate its various func- tions, Chief Criminal Deputy Albert L. Col- lins was placed in overall command of the division. This move makes it possible for Captain Rod Riddle to concentrate on the Technical Services and M. O. and Fingerprint Sections of the Division. To assist Chief Col- lins and Captain Riddle, Lt. Americo Papaleo was placed in charge of the Warrants and Records Sections. 24 -HOUR LOCKSMITH SERVICE • Keys Made While U -Wait 0" "T 0 Locks, u. * Luggage Repairing Fitted Auto • Home • Commercial Planes • Boats • Industrial ROBBINS MOBILE LOCK & KEY SHOP Out of Town Calls Welcome County -Wide Service We Honor MASTER CHARGE Safes Opened - Repaired - Combinations Changed 920 E.

This greater reliance upon the use of physical evidence has been brought about by recent court rulings affecting the admissibility of confessions, or incriminating statements made by suspects in the absence of legal counsel or when not properly advised of their constitutional rights. Other court rulings have seriously restricted the ques- tioning of suspects by peace officers. With this trend in mind, Sheriff Willmirth felt that a re- evaluation of the technical capa- bilities of the Bureau should be made. It was determined that there was immediate need to increase the knowledge and training of the technicians in order to relieve the heavy workload placed upon Chief Criminologist John Belton. This study further indicated that the availability of the Chief Criminologist for the routine day -to -day work has been greatly reduced due to the many hours of required time in court.

Shields Ave. 291 -3563 UNIFORM SPECIALISTS WRTER SMITH FULTON AND KERN As a direct result the Bureau presently has nine employees enrolled at Fresno State College and one at Fresno City College. Their courses include chemistry, fingerprint- ing techniques and police sciences. In addi- tion, one employee recently successfully con- cluded a specialized course at FSC relating to the study of ballistics, body fluids, hairs, fibres and the comparison of typewriting and handwriting. It is planned to have additional employees take this course this coming fall. It should be pointed out that these courses are being taken on the employee's own time. The County pays the tuition; however, the employee must purchase his own textbooks. In addition to the formal education being given these employees, an "In- Service" training program is being planned under the direction of Lt. John Belton and Sgt. Stanley Barnes. This training program will be directly related to the courses being taken by Bureau person- nel. Other changes made during the year in- clude a reduction in the size of the Mental Health section. This section was reduced from a three -man detail to a one -man detail in order to secure more manpower for the Detective Division. The duties of the Warrant and Mental Health sections were more closely integrated to help ease the loss of personnel to the latter. Another innovation was the installation of a Central Supply and Accounting system. All supplies are now ordered and issued by this section. Sgt. William Lockie and Deputy Rob- ley Duncan were transferred from the Admin- istrative Division to the Records and Identi- fication Division to staff this section. They also have charge of the Evidence Locker and are still responsible for automobile mainten- ance. Mr. Robert Vaux, a stockroom clerk, was added to assist with the supply and accounting system. This Division serves as a support unit to the other operating divisions. The Tech- (Continued on Next Page) RAYMAR CONSTRUCTION CO.

O, and Fingerprint sec- tions also assist investigators by photograph- ing and fingerprinting prisoners as well as recording methods of operation, weapons used, manner of speech, and other peculari- ties which may connect a suspect with a par- ticular crime. The Warrant and Fugitive section serves and makes arrests on warrants, assists the courts with extradition proceedings, and transports prisoners held for our department by other jurisdictions. Mentally -ill persons are also apprehended for confinement by members of this section and transported to institutions. Reports of crimes committed and records of subsequent investigations are typed, re- corded, and filed by the Record section of this Division. This section also fingerprints applicants for employment with the County of Fresno as well as fingerprinting and process- ing applicants for gun permits.

A civil case may be anything from a small claims action to be served on a defendant to an attachment or execution on a large busi- ness involving many thousands of dollars. This division is unique in law enforce- ment in that it collects fees for its services. The fees for the service of various types of civil actions are set by the California Gov- ernment Code and must be carefully adhered to. All fees collected must be accounted for and turned in to the General Fund of the F. KOLL Captain I). FiUFF da A. RANDRUP J. PAPAZIAN Lieutenant L. HUNT 7 Tf 7W= C. RAU 63 County Treasury. Another function of this division is to collect and account for all mon- ies collected by the Sheriff's Department such as fees for gun permits, bail monies, etc. This division works quietly and without fanfare. Nevertheless, there is nothing easy about the job. It requires a great deal of knowledge about civil law, as well as the abil- ity to meet and work with people in a tactful, understanding manner. It isn't always easy to explain to an individual that his automobile is being attached or that he is to be evicted from his home. The fact that it accomplishes its work with a minimum of publicity and con- fusion is a tribute to the manner in which this division performs its duties. During 1967 the Civil Division received a total of 15,649 civil cases. The total of processes served was 27,641. C. BALEY Sergeant R. MAULDIN J. WATTS R. BRADLEY Q. MERLO �a.� T.

Willmirth conceived an idea whereby broader law enforcement coverage could be afforded Fresno County and simultaneously help lighten the department's work load ap- preciably by making available assistance to the regular deputies who patrol the vast county areas day and night; all at no additional cost to the county taxpayer. Captain R. Saum and Head Bailiff Tom Nix were charged with organizing and putting into operation a Reserve Patrol uniformed unit to work with the regular patrol officers and also in the security division. A six weeks training program was insti- tuted to be attended twice weekly by these volunteer officers. About 40 members were recruited and in January 1958 the Fresno County Sheriff's Reserve Division had its inception. Thepresent division of approximately 35 officers is one of the "extra arms" of the department. They are sworn in as deputy sheriffs; they furnish their own uniforms, leather goods, and hardware.

These officers are subject to call 24 hours a day. Their duties include patrolling, working in security (jail), helping maintain order at public functions, aiding in charity fund drives, assisting in keeping law and or- der at the West Coast Relays, auto races, ball games, rodeos, watermelon and cantaloupe festivals, and local and outlying community fairs. These men all hold regular jobs in civil- ian life by which to live and raise families. It has reputably been said that everyone performs at least two important occupational functions during their lifetime, first because of necessity, and second because of enjoy- ment. Truly your reserve officer is a civil minded, serious citizen of the community and your neighbor. Now, ten years later, under the able guid- ance of Captain Kenneth Larson and Head Bailiff Tom Nix, the Reserve Patrol division is voluntarily operating quietly and efficiently toward the betterment of all the people of Fresno County.

The successful closing of most cases was accomplished by the usual routine of methodical investigation coupled with the high degree of cooperation with other law enforcement agencies. Police Chief Elmer Rodie reports that continued efforts are being made to stress the upgrading of department personnel and department equipment. Numerous In- training Schools were conducted last year for all per- sonnel of the department. Modern emergency lights, electronic sirens and public address systems have been installed on two of the three patrol units. A new three - wheeler, equipped with radio and emergency lights has also been added to the equipment list. The Reedley Police Department would like to take this opportunity to extend to all law enforcement agencies a grateful Thank - You for the excellent cooperation which has been given in the past and which has contrib- uted to the success that the Reedley Police Department has had.

I- SAFETY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ON FRESNO COUNTTS LAKES EACH YEAR with the advent of fair weather Fresno County's Recreation Areas are flooded with people loaded down with fish- ing gear, camping equipment, boats, water skis, and other recreational paraphernalia. For the most part, the summer will be spent enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the resort area, but a few of these vacationers will — either through ignorance or carelessness — endanger their lives and the lives of others by ignoring the laws and regulations set up for their own protection. To cope with these problems, the Sheriff's Department assigns resident deputies to the most popular areas for the duration of the tourist season. During the 1967 season, Dep- uty Frank Hoke was stationed at Shaver Lake, Deputy Ron Wood at Huntington Lake, and Deputy Jerry Lawless at Pine Flat Lake. The following articles will give an over- all picture of the activity throughout the summer season.

Phone 875 -3272 PINE FLAT LAKE By Jerry Lawless One of the most popular skiing and fishing lakes in Fresno County, Pine Flat Lake lies behind the four - hundred- foot -high Pine Flat Dam. At full capacity, the lake holds one million acre -feet of water. Among the recreational facilities which circle the lake are two public campgrounds, three trailer parks and three boating marinas. The marinas, Lakeridge, Lombardo's, and Trimmer, each berth over one - hundred boats and barges during the busy summer months. The public campgrounds are under the super- vision of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and are cleaned daily by their crews. Much credit must go to Mr. Plummer, heading the Pine Flat office of the Corps of Engineers, for the effort he has made to make this entire area a place of pleasure, safety and comfort for the thousands of people who visit every year.

Box 71, Sanger, Calif. 875 -6985 LEONARD BROTHERS SANGER While there were no major boating acci- dents reported and no drownings in the lake duringthe 1967 season, the Kings River below the dam was a scene of a great deal of activ- ity due to the excessively high water. The turbulent water seemed to challenge many people to try their skill at riding the fast rapids downstream. However, many of these thrill- seekers found themselves thrown from their air mattresses or innertubes and strand- ed on small islands or trees in the center of the river. Eighteen such cases necessitated the use of the Sheriff's Department rescue squads and on three occcasions a helicopter had to be called to pick a stranded rapid - shooter from a precarious perch in the mid- dle of the raging river. Fishing in the lake was excellent most of the year in spite of the high water. Many cat- fish went over the spillway into the Kings River and fishermen were taking daily limits below the dam with an average weight of over one pound. An eighteen -pound catfish was taken near Sycamore Cove and a seven -pound bass was caught in the same area. MOUNTAIN AREAS By Frank Hoke The 1967 summer season got off to a bad start in our mountain areas. Opening weekend of fishing season found six feet of snow already on the ground at Shaver Lake and more fall- ing as the anxious fishermen arrived through- out the Friday eve of opening day. Late in May the Sierra snowpacks melted and the swollen streams filled every lake to capacity. Despite the late start of the sum- mer season and the unusual water conditions, thousands of vacationers flooded the Shaver Lake- Dinkey Creek and the Huntington Lake recreation area. Road surfaces continually crumbled under the strain of traffic as the ground base under them was a saturated, soggy sponge. Fortu- nately, our very competent State, Forest Ser- PILIBOS BROS., INC. 2141 Tuolumne 268 -0101 Fresno and Mendota vice, and County road maintenance crews were able to keep the traffic flowing due to many days of hard work around the clock. The multitude of vacationers are to be com- mended for their conduct in the campgrounds and for their cooperation with authorities in CENTRAL CALIFORNIA RAISIN PACKING CO., INC.

Fortunately, only one reported boating accident occurred at Shaver Lake during the season. There were no injuries, only the boat capsized due to careless operation. Many violations of the boating laws were observed and brought to the attention of the operators, alongwitha reminder that boating laws were designed with one thought in mind — SAFETY! Boating can be a sport the whole family will enjoy, but it must be done safely. Twelve separate rescue operations were conducted during the 1967 season, three of them ending in tragedy. A young mother died when she slipped and fell into the raging waters of Tunnel Creek, approximately one - quarter mile upstream from Shaver Lake. She and her six - year -old son were walking ahead of her husband and two other sons on a trail paralleling Tunnel Creek. They were returning to the Lake where their boat was beached near the mouth of the creek. Apparently the boy left the trail and ventured to the edge of the stream -bed for a closer look at the wild water. He slipped on a rock which was dripping -wet from the wa- ter's spray —and he fell. His mother ran to his aid, slipped on the same rock and fell in- to the swift water. She saved her son's life but lost her own in the process. Three teenage boys attempted to take a shortcut to their campsite at Camp 61 Lake near Mono Hot Springs. They left on foot from a stalled vehicle one mile from their proposed campsite at the lake. instead of staying on the road with two other companions, they de- cided to take a straight -line path, cross -coun- try to the lake and beat their buddies into camp. Unfortunately, they lost sight of the lake when they descended into the first can- yon, made a wrong turn at the bottom and wound -up in the San Joaquin River Gorge at Rattlesnake Crossing. Two of the boys were found during the next few days of searching, tired and hungry but unharmed save for a few cuts and scratches and sore feet. The third youth, 16- year -old James Judson was never found. The body of a young UCLA graduate was found suspended from an overhead cable which crossed a creek at Quail Meadows, two miles upstream from Edison Lake. Ap- parently he had rigged a rope sling, tied him- self into it and hooked it onto a rolling pulley which travels on the cable carrying equip- ment across the stream for construction of a footbridge. In attempting to cross the stream in this manner, he found himself in midstream with an uphill pull either way, due to the weight of his body causing the cable to sag in the mid- dle. Using one hand to relieve the pressure of the rope sling against his mid - section, he attempted to pull himself to shore with the other. The strain was too great and he kept rolling back to the middle. The pathologist concluded that he died from exhaustion. Incidents such as these are not pleasant to relate or to read. However, the dangers which exist in the high country and the con- stant need for practicing safety when travel- ling in these remote areas cannot be over- emphasized. Good commonsense is the best guide in the high country. Follow a few simple rules and so avoid needless tragedy: don't travel alone, wear adequate clothing and shoes, carry an emergency supply of food such as a pocketful of candy bars or cookies, etc., and always carry matches (preferably wood- en ones wrapped in a plastic bag to keep them dry). In addition, don't wear tennis shoes in the high country (they are not adequate foot protection in rugged terrain). Every victim of a rescue that this writer came into contact with this season was wearing tennis shoes and all suffered varying degrees of foot dis- comfort as a result.

Above all else, before making a trip into the high country, give someone — preferably the Sheriff's Department or the U. S. Forest Service —your travel plans. Note your time of departure, your estimated time of return, the route you plan to cover, the number of people in your party and clothing descriptions of each member. If, in spite of all your precautions, you do in fact become lost, do not be ashamed to admit it —it is no disgrace, it can happen to anyone. DON'T PANIC, sitdown and calmly take stock of your situation. Then prepare a shelter for the cold nights, build a fire and keep it going day and night. If possible, camp near water and stay right there and conserve your energy. It is possible to survive for a long period of time on nothing more than water. If you follow these simple rules, rescue teams will find you. It may take two or three days but you will be found in plenty of time IF YOU STAY PUT. The Fresno County Sheriff's Department wishes to thank the U. S. Forest Service, the Southern California Edison Company, Consta- ble Jack Struges, Deputy Constable Dick Smith, the Sheriff's Jeep and Aero Squadrons and the many local citizens in the Shaver Lake Community who assisted in these rescue op- erations. Without the willing assistance of all these people, our rescue operations would suffer a severe handicap. Let's all work toward safe fun in our State's recreation areas.

The Safety Commission meets monthly to review these accidents in order to find and eliminate the accident causes. The object is to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents. The Commission also makes recommend- ations to correct unsafe work conditions and to promote safe work procedures among County employees. A County employee involved in a vehicle accident may be requested to appear at the Commission meeting to discuss his accident. Sheriff Is Department employees, as all other County drivers, are expected to drive cour- teously and defensively. If the Safety Com- mission finds that the County driver did not take every reasonable action that a defensive driverwould have to take to prevent the acci- dent, the Commission will rule his accident "preventable." In these situations, the Com- mission make take disciplinary action against the employee by administering a "demerit" accordingto a schedule outlined in the Fres- no County Safety Regulations. Through its activities, the Safety Com- mission strives to educate County employees to both safe driving and safe working habits. The aim of these efforts is to prevent painful injuries to County employees and to conserve County property.

With- in these files are stored a wealth of informa- tion relating to crime and criminals. Here a trained technician screens and evaluates incoming crime reports for whatever modus operandi information they may contain, after which this information is systematically re- corded by the typist from the work -sheet pre- pared by the technician. What is Modus Operandi? Literally trans- lated, modus operandi means method of oper- ation. In police work it is used in connection with the activities of the criminal. In every crime there is a clue, but the most important clue is often the modus oper- andi of the criminal. A person will usually do things in a way which comes naturally to him and best suited to his ability. The repe- tition of these actions form habits which are characteristic for that particular individual. From a study made of countless cases, it has been shown that most criminals revert to their habits during the commission of crime. Some persons habitually attack supermarkets while others concentrate on service stations; still others may enter residences. In a burglary, the point where entry is effected may differ with the individual. Some will enter through a door while others will prefer the window or the cooler vent. The tools they use to gain access to a premise will also vary, depending on the individual preferences. Some will use a jimmy or pry bar; others will resort to the use of a screw- driver, while still others will use anything that could be found on the premise he is attacking. The manner in which these tools are used may also vary from person to person. It is almost impossible for a burglar to enter a building without leaving behind some characteristics peculiar to him. There was • case where one burglar habitually propped • chair or other furniture against the door from the inside, in order that he might be warned if the occupant returned. Some are messy in searching for articles to steal, others will steal only selected items, and still others will clean out the house of all valuables. In a robbery, the very words the robber uses during the commission of the crime sometimes become an important clue. The way he dresses and his general attitude also become a key factor. These are but some of the modus operandi characteristics which are of importance to the criminal investigator. We cannot say that the criminal will always use the same tools, the same methods or confine his crime to attacks on the same type of buildings or against the same class of people, but the hab- 108 VICTORIA HOTEL & RESTAURANT Basque Lunches - Dinners Cocktails - Banquet Room 2524 Tulare, Fresno 485-1571 SUNLITE MARKET Groceries - Wine - Meat - Produce - Notions 4718 E.

The "Language File" is now searched to locate persons who have used profane words during the commission of a robbery. Two persons were found to have this trait, and this infor- mation is immediately relayed to the officer. Meanwhile, the investigator has interro- gated one of the customers who were held up along with the cashier. This customer recalls having noticed a crudely shaped cross tattooed near the thumb of the robber's right hand. A search of the "Tattoo File" is conducted and it reveals three persons having a similar tattoo on the right hand. Shortly afterward, the sergeant brings in the cashier to identify the gun which she saw the robber display. A chart containing photographs of various type of hand guns is shown to this victim. After studying the pictures for a moment she points to a gun on the chart and says, "This looks like the gun I saw." It is a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson blue steel revolver. She is next shown photographs of all male robbers of the same race and age as the one she described. She selects two photos which she says are close likeness to the robber who confronted her, but she is unable to make positive iden- tification. This file, known as the "Specialty Photo File," is part of the integral set -up in the office. It contains photos of persons who have been involved in the crime of robbery, sex, narcotics, prostitution and certain theft offenses. It is maintained for the benefit of victims and witnesses of these crimes to help identify the perpetrator. Over 17,000 photos are currently in file for ready viewing.

It is the radio operator relaying a message from one of the investigators at the scene of a burglary. The investigator has just finished examining the tire track impressions made by the suspect's vehicle at the crime scene, and is giving us the measurements of the tracks. Problem: Find the make of car that left those tracks. A search of the "Automobile Identification File" reveals five cars that could have left them. The year and make of these cars are im- mediately communicated to the investigator. The Automobile Identification File was devised in this department in 1957. This file contains all American -made cars and most of the foreign -made cars now being sold in America, and is so arranged that cars may be identified through their tread width and wheelbase measurements. Tire tracks found at the crime scene constitute an important link in the chain of physical evidence. In many cases these are the only clues available.

The M.O. Section is also a storehouse of other related information. In burglary and theft cases, the motive or things stolen play an important part in identifying the perpetra- tor. For this reason there is another set of files which contain names of criminals who specialize in stealing a specific article. Still another set of files classify criminals accord- ing to the geographic area in which they oper- ate. Through this file it is possible to locate a person or group of persons who habitually are active in a certain area. Another set of files contain lost or stolen items that may be identified through their serial numbers. All firearms registered to a person as well as those that have been reported stolen or lost are also recorded. The M.O. system of identification is not intended to, nor will it ever, replace the "leg- work" of the investigator which is so neces- sary in criminal investigation, but it serves to assist him in carrying out his task of apprehending the individual responsible for the crime. Now it is the end of the day and the calls have stopped coming in. Tomorrow will bring another deluge of work that is typical of this office. Crime never stops. It is hoped that in the not - too - distant future machine operation can be utilized for some of the manual oper- ation now being conducted in this office, so that a more efficient service may be rendered to all law enforcement officers when they "check with M.O." There is a sequel to this story: Shortly before this went to press, the supermarket robbery and the burglary cases were closed with the apprehension of the persons respon- sible. 2345 WOODSON 'AVE.

Fortunately, during this period of time each investigation was successfully concluded and the responsible party brought before the courts. One fact which stood out during the past year with murders committed or investiga- tions concluded was the degree of planning, either before or after the act. Since most homicides are committed on close friends or family, the emotional stress at the time of the act usually precludes an effective degree of planning or concealment which would pro- tect the perpetrator from discovery. Most homicides are without refinement; however, it seemed this year that a larger number of persons made a greater attempt to set the stage before the officers arrived. The distaff side was represented by six ladies whose careful planning eventually earned them a term in the State Prison. Luckily, the best laid plans often go awry, as in the case of the lady who decided to do (Continued on Nest Pagel SOLID WASTE INDUSTRIES * GARBAGE &RUBBISH HAULING �- DEBRIS BOX & CONTAINER SERVICE 1 TO 25 CU.

Another case came the closest of any to remaining unsolved except for the interven- tion of "Lady Luck" and a curious patrolman who jotted down the license number of a car parked at a crime scene. His training resulted in noting a car parked in a lonely area of the county even though it was unknown at the time (Conlrnued on Next Page) �o ),aviw QUALITY AHW\ FEED SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY'S COOPERATIVE FEED MILL OWNED and OPERATED By RANCHERS FOR RANCHERS • If you feed Farm Animals or Poultry, you'll do better with P.P.A. Quality Feed SAN JOAOUIN VALLEY POULTRY PRODUCER'S ASS'N. PORTERVILLE FRESNO that a crime had been committed. Needless to say, the Patrol Division stands high in the esteem of the homicide crew. Mrs. Lillian Kreger of Highway City set the scene when she shot her husband in a tank house at their home on January 14, 1967. When officers arrived, they found Mr. Kreger lying in a pool of blood with a butcher knife under his left shoulder. Mrs. Kreger exhib- ited to the officers a number of small lacer- ations on her arms and face which she main- tained were inflicted by her husband when he attacked her with the knife. She explained that during this attack she used the family 410 shot- gun to defend herself. However, in the opinion of the physician who examined Mrs. Kreger, her injuries were self - inflicted. further, doubt of the self- defense claim came on Jan- uary 17th, when the scene was re- examined and it was discovered that two shots had been fired inthe pump house. Mrs. Kreger subse- quently pled guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to prison for her crime. The most intricate planning was discov- ered during the inquiry into the shooting of Mr. P. J. Brown in his home in Selma on November 5, 1966. At 12:45 a.m. that day, Deputy Constable Smith of Selma notified the Sheriff's Department that Mr. Brown had been shot. Detectives Mike Flores and John Stark were dispatched to the scene with the Identi- fication Bureau and received the following story from Mrs. Mary Brown, wife of the victim: Mrs. Brown stated that she had been watching a western movie on T.V. at about 12:25 a.m. while Mr. Brown slept on a couch. She stated that their small dog scratched at the door and she let him in, then walked into the bathroom where she stayed for about five minutes. During this time she heard a pecu- liar noise but the T.V. was on loudly and she did not pay any attention to it.

The victim was removed to the Selma Hospital where attempts to save his life proved futile, and at 4 :30 a.m. the officers were advised that Mr. Brown was dead. Death was found to have been caused by a .22 cali- bre bullet being fired into victim's forehead. During the questioning of Mrs. Brown, she advised that her husband had engaged in a fight with a Mexican subject in the Flint - stone Bar in Selina approximately two months earlier and that since that time he had re- ceived four or five threatening phone calls. An anonymous caller had promised to "get" Brown for beating his brother. Mrs. Brown also described a late model white Cadillac which she stated had driven slowly past the house shortly after 11:00 p.m. on the night of the murder. The officers were faced with a frustrating lack of evidence to support Mrs. Brown's story; but a painstaking search was begun for the Mexican subject and the white Cadil- lac. The case was assigned to Detective Art Christensen and Detective Sgt. Walter Pinion. The first hint that there was something amiss with Mrs. Brown's story came that same day at the Flintstone Bar. It was dis- covered that the Browns were considered trouble - makers and the reported fight had resulted from Mrs. Brown's habit of ap- proaching strange men in the bar. Further identification of the Mexican and the white Cadillac failed to materialize. The following day, Sunday, November 6th, Deputy Constable Smith located a witness who reported talking to Terry Lee Minson, older daughter of the victim who was married and not living at home. Mrs. Minson was driving a white English Ford belonging to Mike Vance of Selma. During the conversation, Terry Minsonpatted a .22 calibre rifle lying on the seat beside her and stated, "Don't bother me; I have something important to do." Mrs. Minson was contacted at her home in Selma and remembered the conversation but was nervous and avoided direct ques- tions. She did explain that the weapon was a BB gun purchased by Vance for a nephew. A 1957 Ford registered to Vance was found parked at the Minson home and Terry report- ed that Vance had traded the white English Ford forhis present car. A .22 calibre rifle was also noted lying on the back seat of this car. Vance was absent at this time but re- turned shortly and was questioned. He gave permission for the .22 calibre rifle to be held for ballistics tests and informed the officers lConthwed on Next Pagel that Minson had fired the weapon in the past and that it was in his English Ford when she borrowed the car to visit her parents on the night of the murder. An examination by Lt. John Belton of the Sheriff's Department Crime Laboratory re- vealed that the weapon taken from Vance was the one responsible for the death of Brown. The officers were then informed by other knowing parties that Terry Minson was mar- ried to a soldier sewing in Thailand but that it was common knowledge in the community that she was living with Mike Vance and that she hated her father because he objected to this arrangement. Another question was raised in the minds of the investigators when it was learned that not long before his death Mr. Brown had been encouraged by his wife to take out an insur- ance policy on his life. On November 9, 1967, Mike Vance was again questioned and at this time informed the officers that he knew his rifle was respon- sible for Brown's death. He then related that at approximately 1:00 a.m. on November 5th, Compliments of KUETTEL PIANO HOUSE 234 W. Olive at Arthur St. — Fresno 118 The door of the den in the P. J.

Vance then related that several other people were in the house so he told them to leave because the cops might come and that he concealed the rifle and put Terry Minson to bed. Under further questioning, Vance told how three months prior to the act, Mrs. Mary Brown had solicited him to kill her husband and had offered him $2,000.00 initially and later a $ 500.00 bonus. A full statement was given to the District Attorney implicating both Mary Brown and Terry Brown Minson in the planning and commission of the murder. At 2:00 p.m. on November 9, 1966, Terry Minson was taken into custody and transported to the Selma Justice Court where she admitted during questioning that she had shot her fa- ther. She stated that she had driven to her parents' home at about 9:00 p.m. in the even- ing but that when she looked in the window she saw the other children were still up, so she went home. At approximately 11 :00 p.m. she returned and found her father asleep on the couch. She then opened the door and point- ed the weapon at her father but changed her mind. She stated that at this time her mother was standing in the doorway leading to other parts of the house, and Mrs. Brown said, "I'll go in the other room." Terry again raised the weapon and at this time fired the fatal shot into her father's head. She then returned to her home where she told Vance about the shooting. Terry Minson verified that her mother had offered Vance $ 2,000.00 and a bonus of $ 500.00 to kill her husband and stat- ed that she had actually paid Vance $300.00 in advance and that he had secured a sawed - off shotgun to use.

While questioning acquaintances of the people involved, it became apparent that no secret had been made of Mrs. Brown's offers and plans and it began to appear as if every- one was in on the "know" but the victim and the officers. Mary Brown was found guilty of First Degree Murder by a Superior Court Jury in the County of Fresno; Terry Minson pleaded guilty to the same charge. They are both serving the sentences imposed by that Court. Two of the homicides committed this past year were of more than usual concern to the investigators. Not that one death is more tragic than another but rather in the reac- tions of the responsible parties. One man, when he had been arrested for shooting two people and attempting to shoot a teen -age girl, told the officers, "I don't have any feeling for them, I just wanted to see how it felt to kill someone." It is difficult not to shudder when you realize that someday this twisted mind will once again be on our streets and no one or no institution can guarantee that he will be different than he was the day he was arrested. Richard David Lopez was such a person and part of his statement read into evidence in the court went, "I started driving toward there and all, all of a sudden things started gathering, started building up, and before I knew it, you know, I wanted to kill her, you know. And I was thinking how, how could I do it, you know. All of a sudden, why not? You know, I could run over her. I stopped the car and I just opened the door on my side, you know, and went around the car and everything else and just dragged her out and put her in front of the street, you know, put the car back in reverse. Backed a few feet, lit a cigarette, put the radio on and just stepped on the gas all the way to the floor." Richard's troubles started when he met Elizabeth Velasquez of Calwa and became her boyfriend. The relationship was a stormy one duringwhich the Sheriff's Department had to be called at times to settle squabbles and once Richard served time in jail as a result of fighting. On Sunday, April 23, 1967, the Sheriff's Department was notified by a citizen that there was an injured person lying on Annadale Avenue just east of Calwa. A few minutes later the desk officer received a phone call from a man who identified himself as Richard Lo- pez and who stated that there was a dead (Conlinued on Next Page) Richard Lopez's vehicle where it became stuck in the Inud when he attempted to turn it around and run over the victim again. woman onAnnadale and that he had killed her earlier in the morning. He agreed to meet the officers at the scene. Deputy Sheriff Kerns was dispatched and at 6 :22 a.m. reported what appeared to be a homicide at that location. Additional patrol units were dispatched to seal off the area and Detective Rouanzoin began his investigation. At approximately 6:42 a.m. the officers saw Richard Lopez walking toward them from the area of Calwa and, after identifying him, led him to one of the patrol cars where he was ad- vised of his constitutional rights. When asked what happened, he replied, "It's simple, I did it intentionally. If I hadn't got stuck I would have crushed her and crushed her." At 7:23 a.m. the homicide investigation team arrived on the scene to take over the investigation. An examination of the scene revealed the victim lying on her back in the roadway with her arms outstretched. What appeared to be tire abrasions were present across her chest, along with additional inju- ries about her head and body. Approximately ten paces west of the body on the south side of Annadale were what appeared to be marks at the edge of the pavement indicating that someone had been dragged from an automo- bile. Approximately 180 paces east of the body was a 1957 Oldsmobile sedan backed into mud and water on the south side of Anna - dale Avenue. In the front seat of this vehicle was a woman's purse containing papers and identification of Elizabeth Velasquez. While the scene was being processed by the Identification Bureau and the Coroner was making preparations for caring for the body, Richard Lopez was returned to the Sheriff's Department where Assistant District Attor- ney Dwayne Keyes met the officers and a for- mal statement was taken.

He told how they had started to ride around Fresno in his car, drinking beer and talking about their problems until he became more tense by the moment think- ing of the times that they had fought and she had reported him and of many other imagined wrongs she had done him. He told how he be- gan to beat Elizabeth and once when he stopped the car she tried to get away by jumping out but that he had knocked her to the ground and kicked and jumped on her, before dragging her back into the car. He related that he then drove to her apartment where he parked and told her he was going to forget what he had done but that, despite this magnanimous offer, she started screaming and making "ugly, squeaking sounds" like she needed help so he choked her until she was silent. This was when, Richard related, he decided to kill her by running over her. He then drove to the area where the body was later found, dragged her from the car and laid her on the street. Richard then backed up a few feet, turned on the radio, lit a cigarette, and put on the gas all the way. His intention to run over his vic- tim again and again was thwarted when he became stuck while attempting to turn around and as Richard later reported, "I guess I was sort' of out "of luck in my vengeance." Lopez was sentenced to prison by the Superior Court of the County of Fresno on November 3, 1967, and is presently serving his sentence. 1967 was a busy year for the homicide crew and 1968 does not promise to be any better. The first month - and -a -half of 1968 has produced a total of five new cases or what prior to 1967would have been half the yearly average. The fact that all persons responsible for cases occurring in 1967 were subsequently brought to trial can only be credited to the excellenceof the Sheriff's Crime Laboratory in collecting and evaluating the evidence and in the cooperation of all the officers in the department in lending their assistance to the homicide crew.

An exception to this policy is the Fresno Police Department which publishes its own magazine. In this issue the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control of the State of California, and the new Fresno County Public Defender's Office will be presented. While not strictly a law enforcement agency, the Pub- lic Defender nevertheless works closely with the Sheriff's Department and other local law enforcement agencies.

Investigators for the Department are Arthur "Ed" Dana, Senior Investigator, and Leslie H. Kimber, Jr., In- vestigator.

Phone Fresno 266 -0281 Dinuba 591 -3800 The primary function of the Department is licensing. To this end only the Director may issue, deny, suspend or revoke a license. To assist in this function Department employ- ees investigate all applications, file reports and make recommendations to the Director. Public officials are solicited to express their opposition (if any) and the public is allowed to protest any application. If a license is de- nied or protested the applicant may have a hearing before an administrative hearing officer and may pursue a denied or suspended protest in the courts. The Department also regulates the con- duct of licensed businesses and when licen- scees violate or cause or permit a violation to occur on their licensed premises they are subject to disciplinary action which may re- sult in suspension or revocation of the license. Under special circumstances licensees may pay a sum of money in lieu of serving a sus- pension. Disciplinary actions are also subject to appeal in the courts. In addition to the regulatory efforts by Departmental personnel, all peace officers and district attorneys are required to enforce provisions of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, Business and Professions Code. To un- derwrite a portion of the cost of enforcement by local officials, the State returns 90 per cent of all annual license fees to the jurisdic- tion from which the monies were collected. For example: in the fiscal year March 1, 1966 through February 28, 1967, the Depart- ment returned to Fresno County $ 76,550.18. During the same period the City of Fresno received $126,623.79. These monies are de- posited in the general funds of the city or county. Monies collected in lieu of service of suspensions are distributed in the same manner. Fines resulting from criminal ar- rests made by Department employees or by peace officers enforcing the "ABC Act" are handled in the same manner as all other fines. The Department investigates license ap- plications to determine four basic qualifica- tions: that the applicants are of good moral character, that the license sought is proper for the type of business, that the applicants have right to tenancy at the location, and that the applicants are the true and sole owners of the business to be licensed. Other matters, such as proper zoning, compliance with health and fire laws, proximity to schools, churches, hospitals orplaygrounds, use permits, repu- tation of the applicant, appropriate legal no- tices, sources of funds, and many others are considered before licensing.

Up To $15,000.00 I started my day at 9:00 A.M. on Pine Flat Lake where all was going well. My re- serve officers were right on time. The daily assignments were given and a routine day was underway. About 9:40 I was patrolling the lake in the patrol boat when a radio call sounded 23-49, my call. I answered the call and was dispatched by the Sheriff's Office to the Kings River about one -half mile south of Hiway 180 on Oak Knoll road to assist Mr. Case, the County Shop Superintendent. I docked the patrol boat and radioed the obser- vation tower and other patrol boats that I was leaving. I arrived at the scene on Oak Knoll road approximately 10 :20 A.M. and there Mr. Case explained his problem to me. There was a large tree which had been washed out by the high water and was lodged In the center of the river approximately 100 yards north of a small wooden bridge. This bridge was the only entrance to a 180 -acre field of unharvested beans and if this bridge should be destroyed by this huge tree the beans would be lost. Mr. Case was thoughtful and had already brought a boat which is used mainly for rescue work, a 14 -ft. aluminum craft with a 18 -h.p. Mercury outboard motor. There were six or seven other men there from the County roads department with a tractor. Itwasdecided that if someone could ti l� Cal dkt and b'" 1'1 a DALE BROS., INC. COFFEE AND RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT get to the tree with the boat and could tie a cable around the tree, the tractor could pull it to one side and anchor it to a tree on the bank. I checked the situation for various ways to get to the tree and although I knew the water was moving with terrific force, I decid- ed that I would go upstream from the bridge on the west side, staying close to the bank, and go past the tree about 100 yards, then turn and come directly into the tree at which time I could grab and hold onto a limb or the trunk while a helper tied the cable on. This idea was accepted by the road crew but the problem then was which one of the men would go with me. Everyone looked at the raging river and then at each other. Finally one brave soul, Dick McHaley, volunteered and the trip was underway. The cable was loaded and the boat was ready. I started the motor and, by guiding the boat very close to the bank, was soon making good headway up the river. When I got about 100 yards upstream I made the turn downstream and headed straight for the tree. Believe me, in that rushing water we were really moving! In less than an instant we hit the tree. I can remember seeing my helper grabbing for limbs as I felt myself being thrown under the boat and down into the icy water. Somehow, I managed to free myself from the boat, made a grab and caught a limb. The last I saw of the boat it was going end over end down the rapids of the river. I pulled myself onto the tree trunk and to my relief there was Dick clinging to the tree trunk. We pulled ourselves up onto the trunk of the tree, both dripping wet and in a very nervous and shakened condition. There we were, trapped on the tree which was still in the center of the river. We could see Mr. Case and all the other men running up and down the bank with ropes trying to call to us, but the roar of the water was so great that we couldn't hear them nor could they hear us. Dick and I tried to think of what to do as we knew the ropes could not be thrown to us. I asked him how well he could swim and he replied, "not so well." Both of us were frightened and the only immediate thing I could think of was to get someone to radio the Sheriff's Office for help. We made a motion with our hands to the men on the bank to use my patrol car radio to ask for a helicopter to get us off the tree. They signaled that they understood and went to the patrol car. All we could do then was wait. We sat for about five minutes —which seemed more like an hour —, clinging to a limb. Suddenly, the entire tree shifted in the swift current and it moved a little toward the bridge. Dick and I jumped 130 H -J SCHOOL SERVICES JR. — DARRELL — NICK & DALE For the finest in Class Rings, Graduation Announcements, Yearbooks, Caps & Gowns, Trophies, Medals & Pins FRESNO, CALIFORNIA 93704 1625 EAST WELDON 724 -1100 GALVANI AUTO ELECTRIC SPECIALIST IN DIESEL ELECTRIC SERVICE COMPLETE AUTO ELECTRIC SERVICE CARBURETION - TUNE -UP GASOLINE & DIESEL BANKAMERICARD 3807 E.

If the tree completely broke loose, the current would take it smash- ing into the wood pilings which support the bridge and we would be killed. We would not be able to escape those limbs and current. I told Dick that if this tree moved again we were going to have to take our chances by swimming for the bank. Because we thought the helicopter was on its way we decided to wait a little longer. Suddenly the tree moved again —this time a much greater distance. There was no more time for debating the question. I yelled to Dick, "Let's go!" He shouted back, "Go ahead, I'll follow." Without giving myself time to think, I dived into the water and began to swim with all my strength. The first time I looked up to get a breath of air I found myself in the cross- currents, the middle of the river, and the current taking me downstream fast. I didn't know how Dick was doing but I knew it was time for every ounce of strength and swimming ability that I had. Finally I got within reach of some wil- low tree limbs which were protruding out over the water from a tree on the bank. I grabbed and hung on. I turned to see where Dick was and —thank God —he was right be- hind me, grabbing for the same tree limbs. The men met us and helped us out of the wa- ter. The solid ground sure felt good. The men told me the office was frantically trying to find a helicopter but none was available at that particular time. After I let the office know I was OK, I thought to myself, "I'm just going to sit in the patrol car until my nerves calm down." Just as I opened the door of the car I heard the numbers "23 -49 ", my call. I answered the call. Wouldn't you know it, the call concerned two boys who were clinging to a tree in the middle of Kings River by Avacado Lake. They had been riding the rapids on air mattresses and innertubes and the swift water had thrown them off. They had managed to grab a tree limb and were hanging on. Still dripping wet and shaken up, I climbed into the car and started for the Avacado Lake area. I called by radio for the Reserve Offi- cers on Pine Flat Lake to meet me there. I arrived around 1:30 P.M. and met the Re- serves who had several coils of rope, and we began searching for the boys. While making our way through a field to reach the north shore of Kings River where the boys were reported to be, we came upon a new -born white -face calf which seemed to be dead, lying under a fence. All the cattle, including the mother, had been moved from this field quite some time before as the flood water was beginning to fill this area of the field. As we passed by I thought I saw a move- ment; and, on closer inspection, we found him to be alive. Although we were urgently on our way to reach the boys, I just couldn't make myself walk away and leave this little guy to die. The water had already reached him. I picked him up and carried him a quar- terimile to the road and put him in my patrol car. We dropped him off at the nearest ranch where the owner there said he would take care of him immediately, and we hurried on to find the boys. As we neared the area we could hear one of them calling for help, but we couldn't see him for this area of the river was very wide and out of bank. There were a lot of trees under water. In normal season there would be an island in this area which could be reached by walking through shallow water from the north side of the river. Reserve Officer Bob Stites and I took two coils of rope and decided we would try to swim to the island in hope that we could see the boys from there. Bob and I went upstream about 200 yards and dived into the water, taking the rope with us. We crossed the first stream — which was about 30 yards wide —, but, while crossing the swift water, we were carried back down the 200 yards we had allowed. We could still hear the boys calling for help when we spotted one boy who had let go of the tree limb and was on the island just south of where we were standing. We called to him and he saw us coming to help him. Still between us was a channel about 30 yards wide and with very swift current. Bob and I were able to throw a rope to him and pulled him through the current to us. When we asked about his friend, he pointed to a tree in the middle of the main river channel. There, sitting in the top of this tree was his friend still frantically calling for help. Bob and I studied the situa- tion and decided to make a try for the tree with the ropes. After almost being swept down the river on two attempts, we had to return to the north shore. We felt the boy would be safe as long as he stayed in the tree. Again we tried to reach the boy, this time by going around Piedra, crossing the bridge, and coming down on the south side of the riv- er. We could see the boy, still in the tree and still calling for help. Even though he knew we were trying to reach him, he was so panic - stricken that he could not stop screaming for help. The water was even more swift in this area and it was impossible to reach him from this point. It was getting late and the only other way I could think of was the helicopter.

We happened to be lucky, for Harry had just finished his fire pa- rol tour and was landing at Trimmer, just 14 miles from where we were. By this time it was about 6:00 P.M. and Harry arrived within ten minutes after receiving the call. We prepared a landing spot for the chopper and Harry set down. After looking the sit- uation over, he fixed a rope sling which he connected to the bottom of the heli- copter. Harry took the chopper up and after making several passes he finally hovered over the tree and the boy managed to grab the rope even though the wind current from the chopper blades almost blew him out of the tree. He lifted the boy very carefully and brought him to the shore line. I was waiting below to catch the boy, but just as I touched his legs his hands slipped and he fell to the ground, landing on his feet. Had he fall- en just seconds before that he would have fallen 75 to 100 feet to the ground. I took the boys to their car which was parked up near Pine Flat Dam where they had started their ride on the inner-tubes. They assured me they would never ride the river rapids again. I then wrote my re- ports, closed the observation tower building at Pine Flat Lake, and secured the patrol boat for the night. I finally arrived home in Fresno about 10:30 P.M., still in wet clothing and still somewhat shaken up. I'm sure we all felt we had put in quite a day. I would like to mention at this point that the little calf that I carried in my arms from the flooded field, today is ten months old and weighs approximately 900 pounds.

These officers posed for a picture after rescuing the little girl from her father who had kidnapped her from her mother and step- father and threatened to kill her if interferred within any manner. He had also boasted that he would kill any officer who came after him. Although not a headline- grabber or as spectacular as some homicide cases, these officers have good cause for congratulating themselves after rescuing the child from a very precarious situation. The story can perhaps best be retold just as it appeared in the February 20, 1947 edition of The Fresno Bee.

Blackstone at Shaw SEARCH and RESCUE ➢IARY By Lt. Gene Hallam The first few months of any year are usually rather quiet as far as search -and- rescue activity is concerned, and in 1967 this was particularly true. The extremely heavy snowpack made it impossible for peo- ple to get far enough into the mountains to get into serious trouble. We took advantage of the lull, getting equipment into top working condition, and conducting training sessions. In May ten of us went to Sequoia National Park for a three -day rock climbing session conducted by the National Park Service. We have been extremely fortunate, considering the rugged terrain in the county, in never having had to effect a rescue where technical climbing skill was required. Had such an oc- casion arisen we would have had to rely on outside help. However, we can anticipate such rescues in the future, and thanks to the in- struction given us by the park rangers, we should be able to handle them ourselves. We took the field headquarters truck to the park and lived in it. We had an excellent opportunity to try out some new camping equipment, and the people there from other agencies were quite impressed with our rig. On the last day of the session we made the training mutual when Sgt. Stan Barnes and Deputy Chuck Piper gave the rangers some pointers on scuba diving in the icy waters of the Kaweah River.

Sergeants Bill Young and Chet Lovgren are to be commended for their tact and diplomacy in persuading the skunks to leave peaceably. Early summer was a tragic period, due to the excessive number of drownings. The heavy runoff from the mountain snow pack kept the lakes, rivers and canals extreme- ly high and cold till well past midsummer, a situation many people failed to take into con- sideration when swimming. Several of the victims were strong young men who were good swimmers, but simply didn't remember that a swimmer's ability is lessened consid- erably by low water temperature. Deputy Jerry Lawless and the Sheriff's Communication Squadron, whose normal ac- tivity is boat patrol of Pine Flat Lake, were kept very busy recovering bodies, along with Barnes and the other divers. We also had several incidents of people stranded on islands in the rivers, having braved the swift currents below Pine Flat and Millerton in inadequate boats or on inner tubes and plastic mattresses. On two such occasions Harry Rogers of the Helicopter Squadron was called to effect the rescue. The first major mountain search of the year occurred in mid -July. Three teen -age boys wandered off from their camp at Portal Forebay, a tiny lake on the Mono Hot Springs Road east of Kaiser Pass. They disappeared on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 12th. This department wasn't notified till late Thursday, and although a preliminary search was begun that evening, full -scale operations couldn't be started before dawn Friday. One of the boys, Terry Drop, found his way back to camp Friday morning, and said he'd last seen the other two on the river be- low Mono Crossing. The search was concen- trated in that area, and footprints of two boys were found leading to the vicinity of Rattle- snake Crossing. Saturday morning the second boy, Salva- dor Lucero, was found by Don Rose, one of several Southern California Edison Company employees assisting us. Rose was patrolling the road east of Mt. Tom when Lucero stum- bled out of the brush. Lucero said he and the third boy, James Judson, had separated near Rattlesnake Crossing Thursday afternoon. He suggested that Judson had probably tried to float down the river on a log, since he'd mentioned it several times while they were together.

The search was continued for another eleven days, with our crew, Edison Company employees, and Chief Ranger Arnold Snyder and other Forest Service personnel partici- pating. Deputy Constable Dick Smith, packers Joe Bridges and Shorty Cunningham, Kenn Davis, and several other volunteers also took part. The Air Squadron had planes over the area whenever weather permitted, and the Western Air -Sea Rescue Command at Hamil- ton Air Force Base sent several Army ob- servation planes and a helicopter to help for two or three days. On Wednesday, July 26th, we finally gave up. James Judson was obviously no longer alive. We felt reasonably certain he'd drowned in the river, and his body was hidden some- where in the deep gorge below Rattlesnake Crossing. We couldn't search there because of the high water. If he wasn't in the river, his body was hidden so that chances of finding it, except by accident, were practically non- existent. On Wednesday, July 9th we received a report of a '1°n year -old boy, Gary Fraser, lost in the wilderness area near Portal Lake, about twenty miles east of Wishon Reservoir. He'd been missing from his family's camp since Tuesday morning. The family had hiked into the area, and it was early Wednesday evening before a member of the party could return to Wishon to request assistance. We had to change our tactics considerably for this operation. Our organization was built around the headquarters truck, since most previous searches had been conducted within a few miles of a road. Now the truck would be of no value, since we couldn't take it any closer than Wishon. We arranged for Harry Rogers to take some of us in on Thursday. The remainder of the crew came in by pack train, arriving late Thursday afternoon. Gary's footprints had been found in the edge of Crown Basin, a wild, beautiful Alpine valley about a mile from Portal Lake. We spent Thursday afternoon searching the basin and the adjacent cliffs and ledges. Several Air Squadron planes gave us air support. We had bloodhounds standing by at Wishon, but no immediate way to get them to the search area, since Harry couldn't haul them in his helicopter. We requested a military cabin - type helicopter for Friday. Friday morning an eleven - passenger heli- copter from the Sharpe Army Depot landed at our camp in the upper end of Crown Basin. Don Colbert, the dog handler, and I flew back to Wishon to pick up the dogs. They were tak- en to the spot where the footprints had been found, and apparently picked up a trail, lead- ing into the narrow, rocky canyon connecting CrownBasinand Crown Valley. However, the scent was lost in the granite - floored canyon. The lack of footprints in several muddy spots indicated that if Gary entered the canyon, he'd turned back. The Army helped us with the helicopter till Monday afternoon. Over the weekend the Sierra Madre and Altadena Search- and -Res- cue teams in Southern California sent several men to assist. The Air Squadron stayed on the job, and the Jeep Squadron, although they couldn't get their vehicles into the search area, kept a unit parked at Garlic Meadow south of Crown Valley to relay radio traffic between the search area and department headquarters.

The area around Crown Basin, Portal Lake, and Blackcap Basin had been thoroughly searched, with nothing found except the footprints Gary had made the day he became lost. Since the elevation is over ten thousand feet, and we'd had thunderstorms nearly every day, with the temperature droppingbelow freezing at night, it seemed certain Gary had died, either from exposure or a fall. Thursday morning most of the crew walked out through Crown Valley, arriving at Wishon late in the afternoon. Al Harker and Claude Hoy remained in Crown Basin to await the pack train which would haul out the gear. The packer was to arrive at noon, so about 11 A.M. Harker and Hoy walked about a mile up the trail to meet him. He didn't arrive till almost 4 P.M., having been delayed by bad weather. When they arrived at camp Gary Fraser was lying on a nearby rock, so weak he could scarcely move or talk, but still alive. The weather that delayed the pack train was just one of a long series of apparent misfortunes that had plagued the operation from the beginning. However, it saved Gary's life. Had the packer arrived as scheduled they'd have been loaded and gone —and Gary would have found an abandoned campsite. The boy was bathed, fed some broth, and placed in a sleeping bag, while one of the packers immediately set out to ride back to Wishon for help. He rode all night through more miserable weather, arriving at Wishon about 4 A.M. Frank Hoke was waiting at the dam, having expected the pack train late the previous evening. He radioed headquarters immediately, and Harry Rogers and Doctor Charles Glass were dispatched by helicopter. They landed at Crown Basin about 7 A.M. Harker and Hoy reported the boy had been hysterical most of the night, and had to be watched constantly. When Doctor Glass ex- amined him he found him in remarkably good condition, consideringwhat he'd been through. By 8:30 Gary was in a Fresno hospital, where he recovered rapidly enough so that he was able to go home in a few days. Where had he been? We'll probably never know. The most likely theory is as follows: A mile or two east of where the Frasers were camped Finger Peak rises another two thou- sand feet. Gary was able to tell us he'd climbed the "big mountain" and apparently this is the one he meant. It's reasonable to assumethatif he did so, he became confused when he started the descent, and instead of turning down the southwest face he descended the almost identical appearing southeast 142 HARRY JACOBS BODY & FENDER AUTO BODY REPAIRING & PAINTING Collision Repairs - Insurance Work Welcomed 25 Years Experience — Free Estimates 2017 Santa Clara 237 -7151 HOWEY MOTOR SALES Guaranteed Automobiles —Block Long Selection 1811 Divisadero at Abby 268 -9744 Henrietta Rancho Products Co.

He could easily have spent nine days in finding his way back. It's easy to think of a theoretical answer to the question "Where was he ?" What no one will ever be able to answer is, "How did he stay alive ?" In September, Dwight Hauser, a Holly- wood writer and producer, took his fourteen year old son Erich into the San Joaquin gorge north of Cow Meadow. They carried plenty of camping gear and food for their planned stay of a week or ten days. However, enroute they encountered serious difficulties, had to aban- don their packs on the canyon wall, and were unable to retrieve them. They spent ten days in the bottom of the gorge with practically no food before they were reported missing. Once the report was made, however, rescue was effected in a rountine manner. Andy Holmes of the Air Squadron spotted their camp, with the word "HELP" spelled out with bark. He directed the ground party to them, then Harry Rogers evacuated them by helicopter. After he'd returned home and regained his strength, Mr. Hauser wrote a documen- tary movie of his and the boy's experiences. He formed a production company and began filming in late October. The scenes depicting the arrival of the rescue party were filmed in November, with Bill Young, Lester Scheidt, Russ McQuillen, and Larry Hill appearing as themselves and giving polished perform- ances. Harry Rogers and Andy Holmes also appear. If the film is sold it should be pre- sented in movie theaters and on television later this year. During deer season there were no opera- tions to compare in scope or drama with the Judson and Fraser cases, but it was a busy two months. Nearly every weekend we had at least one lost hunter, and sometimes two or three. Early storms kept them out of the high country, but at the five -to -eight thousand -foot level we had searches scattered all the way from Boulder Creek east of Hume Lake, to Pincushion Peak north of Rattlesnake Cross- ing. About the most exciting thing that hap- pened duringdeer season was when our head- quarters truck broke through a log bridge on a creek ten miles west of Edison Lake. We spent several hours jacking it up, blocking it with rocks, and rebuilding the bridge beneath it so Duane Taylor could winch it out with his jeep. The last lost deer hunter of the year was found just a couple of hours before the season 144 G. and A.

He walked into Sample Meadow ahead of Don Colbert and his bloodhounds, who were on the trail. The winter lull usually begins immediately after the close of the deer season. In 1967 there was no such lull. In the month of De- cember we had several people stranded in the snow, miles from a road, and used jeeps and snowmobiles to get to them. In spite of its slow start, 1967 was a busy —and sometimes frustrating —year for the search - and - rescue team. With the continued population growth sending more and more people into the mountains, future years will no doubt be just as busy. We hope no one else meets with the fate of James Judson. There's no reason they should, if they plan ahead, let someone know where they're going and when they'll return, and use common sense if they do get into trouble.

The jury had just found him and his two co- defendants guilty of mur- der in the first degree. He knew that at the very least a long prison term awaited him, and at the worst he might receive an appoint- ment with the little green room which houses the lethal gas chamber at San Quentin Prison. A future such as this would daunt the spirit of any but the bravest man, but for Ernest it was unbelievable, for he was innocent of the crime of murder. How is it possible in this age of enlight- enment for an innocent man to be convicted of a crime? Fortunately, it is not easy. The (Continued on Next Page) Building for a Better Community Bonadelle Homes Trend Homes best preventative is to tell the truth at all times. Had Ernest followed this simple advice he would not have found himself in this pre- dicament because the truth would have set him free. The crime for which Ernest McPeters was convicted was the robbery and murder of service station owner, Harry Trowbridge. It was one of the most unusual cases in the annals of Fresno County. It was unusual not only because a man was convicted of a crime he did not commit, but also because of the doubt of McPeters' guilt in the mind of Detec- tive Albert Sedgebeer and his painstaking investigation which culminated in clearing the innocent and bringing the guilty to justice in the highest traditions of law enforcement. The robbery and murder of Harry Trow- bridge occurred on the night of December 16, 1966, sometime between 6:30 P.M. and 6:45 P.M. It was a Friday night. Edward Ferrel, a sailor stationed at Lemoore Naval Air Sta- tion was hitchhiking a ride back to his base when he decided to rest his thumb for awhile and use the restroom at Harry's Norwalk Service at the corner of Elm and Annadale Avenues. Passing the door of the station he saw the form of a man lying on the floor; the man was Harry O. Trowbridge, the proprietor of the station. He asked Mr. Trowbridge what had happened and Trowbridge answered, "They beat me with their fists and one shot at me. I don't know whether I'm hit or not; please call the Police." Ferrel immediately called the Fresno City Police but because the location was in the county the call was transferred to the Sheriff's Department. At 6:52 P.M. Deputy Kenneth Frankfort arrived at the scene. He was soon followed by Deputy Richard Guthrie and Detective Jesse Simpson. Although seriously wounded, Trowbridge was able to talk briefly to the officers before he was removed by ambulance to the Fresno General Hospital. From the brief conversation that the officers were able to hold with the victim, the following facts were gleaned: sometime between 6:30 and 6 :45 P.M. four Negro males entered the sta- tion. Suspects #I and # 2 entered the station office, while suspects #3 and #4 waited out- side. Suspect #1 did all the talking; he asked for some cigarettes and then said, "This is a holdup!" Suspects #3 and #4 entered the office at this time and all four began beating the victim about the head with their fists. The victim was knocked to the floor by the force of the blows. On getting up, he saw that sus- pect # 1 was holding a chrome - plated auto- matic pistol at him.

The first break in the case came early the next morning when an informant came to the Sheriff's Department and reported that COUNTRY BOY MARKET THREE STORES TO SERVE YOU Fresno & McKinley Chestnut & Olive 3136 N. Cedar FRESNO he had heard that Eddie Gene Dillworth and Ernest McPeters were responsible for the crime. The informant stated that he had gained this information from three teenage girls, whom he named. The three girls were picked up separately at their homes and brought to the Sheriff's Department where each was questioned individually. Each girl related substantially the same story. The substance of their stories was that on the evening of the crime they, along with several other teenag- ers, had met the suspects, Dillworth and McPeters, at a pool hall near Fig and North Avenues. During the course of the evening they had gone for a ride with the two suspects. While driving down Elm Avenue they passed the Harry Trowbridge station. The two sus- pects began talking about how they had held up the station and shot the proprietor. McPeters even bragged to the girls about how much money he had made from the rob- bery. Investigators also learned that Dillworth had a girl friend living in a housing project in West Fresno. Detective Sedgebeer and Det. Sgt. Joe Orndoff located her house late on the afternoon of Saturday, December 17th. They learned from the girl's parents that Dillworth had taken her from the house at about 6:00 P.M. to do some Christmas shop- ping. Her father stated that Dillworth was the father of her three month old baby boy, and that he would be bringing her and the baby home sometime during the evening. The offi- cers decided to maintain a stakeout at the girl's home. At 9 :45 P.M. Dillworth and the girl entered the house. Dillworth was immediately placed under arrest. He offered no resistance. As Dillworth had no car, the officers asked the girl who had brought them home. She stated that the persons who had brought them home were waitingoutside in the car for Dillworth. She was asked if McPeters was one of them. She replied that he was. At about this time McPeters entered the house looking for Dill- worth and was placed under arrest. After being advised of their rights, both suspects stated that they were willing to talk to the officers as they had nothing to hide. Both gave conflicting statements as to their where- abouts on the night of December 16th and both denied any part in the crime.They were booked in jail on suspicion of murder and robbery. As the investigation continued, the offi- cers learned that there had been a gathering of young people at the home of Ronnie Jackson on Calwa Street during the night of the crime. This house is only a short distance from the Harry Trowbridge station at Elm and Anna- 150 SNIDER ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS 4665 E.

State- ments taken from those present at this gath- ering revealed that a subject by the name of Joe Sonny Ray had been at the Calwa Street address during the evening and had been seen passing a gun to a young soldier home on leave. The soldier was contacted and admit- ted that a gun had been given to him by Joe Sonny Ray with instructions that the gun was "hot" and needed cooling off. He described the gun as a chrome - plated .25 calibre auto- matic. On the basis of this information, Joe Sonny Ray was arrested as the third suspect in the murder of Harry Trowbridge. A determined effort was made by the in- vestigators to locate the gun in order to es- tablish it as the murder weapon. The soldier to whom the gun had been given for safekeep- ing had in turn given it to a friend. This sub- ject had tried to unload the gun but couldn't. He then decided to empty the gun by firing it at some tin cans at the corner of North and Marks Avenues. Officers went to the location and recovered three spent bullets. A compar- ison was made between these bullets and the one recovered from the body of Harry Trow- bridge. They matched perfectly. This was the murder weapon, if only it could be found. Despite a concentrated effort, the gun was never found. The young man who had fired the three shots at a tin can stated that he had given the gun to another friend. The gun was last traced to Ronnie Jackson, who is believed to have destroyed it. Suspects Dillworth, Ray and McPeters had been at the home of Ronnie Jackson on the night of the crime. Jackson was arrested and booked on suspicion of robbery and murder. Because there was insufficient evidence to hold him, he had to be released. He was later charged (Continued on Next Page) with being an accessory to murder and with- holding information. Eddie Gene Dillworth, Ernest McPeters, and Joe Sonny Ray were formally charged with the robbery and murder of Harry Trow- bridge. Their trial began on April 3, 1967, in Department Two of the Superior Court of Fresno County, Judge Joy presiding. Evi- dence against the three was largely circum- stantial. Witnesses testified to the fact that all three suspects were together at the home of Ronnie Jackson on the night of the crime, and a gun had been passed to a young soldier, to keep it until it "cooled off." Especially damaging was the evidence against Ernest McPeters. Several witnesses testified that they had heard him brag about being involved in the crime. The jury was unable to reach a verdict of guilt or innocence and was dis- missed on May 4, 1967. All three suspects were granted a new trial. The second trial began on May 17, 1967, and lasted until June 21st at which time the jury found all three defendants guilty of mur- der in the first degree. At this point there occurred one of the strangest events ever witnessed in a court room. Thedefendant, Ernest McPeters, and his brother, James, who had been witnessingthe trial, both jumped over the rail which sepa- rates the spectators from the area being used by the attorneys, jury and judge, and began kicking and beating Deputy District Attorney James Quashnick. Quashnick was knocked to the floor and then kicked by the McPeters brothers before shocked bailiffs could restore order. After the melee had been quelled, Ernest McPeters yelled out at the stunned jury, "Why me, you know I am innocent; you know I didn't do it, why me ?" He kept up the crying and yelling for about ten minutes be- fore he could be quieted down by the bailiffs and his attorneys. Not once during the ensu- ing fray did his co- defendants, Eddie Gene Dillworth and Joe Sonny Ray, protest their innocence or declare the innocence of 1\ /IcPeters. Detective Albert Sedgebeer was assigned to make a routine follow -up investigation of the courtroom incident. The one thing which stuck in Sedgebeer's mind was McPeter's frantic protestations of his innocence in con- trast to the almost stoical behavior of the other defendants when the jury rendered its verdict. This could have been easily dis- missed by an investigator as a mental break- down of a criminal when finally confronted with the consequences of his crime. It is not unusual for a guilty person to protest his in- nocence even while being led to his execution. 152 SHAFFER'S HARDWARE & GIFTS Electrical & Plumbing Supplies Houseware Garden Supplies Open 7 Days a Week —S &H Green Stamps First & Ashlan BOB SHAFFER Country Squire Center 227 -9729 "FINALLY IN FRESNO" ITALIAN KITCHEN Now Featuring Meat or Cheese MANICOTTI 1120 PALM AT OLIVE OPEN 4 PM TO 1 AM Phone 264 -1845 HERB'S JOYN'T HOFBRAU Draft Beer - Cocktails N.

He kept asking himself, "What if McPeters is innocent ?" "Isn't our system of justice predicated on the theory that it is better that ten guilty men escape punishment than that one innocent man be found guilty ?" These thoughts kept running through his mind. The problem was where to start. The evi- dence against McPeters, although circum- stantial, seemed overwhelming. A jury of twelve men and women, after careful delib- eration, had found it so. Witness after witness had testified that they had heard from McPe- ters' own lips how he had participated in the robbery and murder of Harry Trowbridge. Surely they could not all have been lying or have misunderstood McPeters' statements acknowledging and even bragging of his guilt. He had not been able to furnish his attorney with any information which might have estab- lished his innocence. Not a single shred of new evidence to prove his innocence had been presented since the second trial. Sedgebeer did just about the only thing an investigator can do when faced with such a situation. He began reviewing the evidence and talking to witnesses who had testified at the trial in the hope of discovering new infor- mation which might lead to proof of McPeters' innocence or further establish his guilt. After interviewing some of the trial wit- nesses and talking to other people who knew all the defendants, Sedgebeer discovered that there were many who had heard that McPe- ters had not taken part in the robbery and murder. None of those interviewed seemed to doubt the guilt of Dillworth or Ray. Sedgebeer began hearing rumors that Ronnie Jackson and a fourth subject by the name of Larry Smith were also involved in the crime. If this were true, the four men mentioned by the victim as having robbed him would be accounted for without the inclusion of McPe- ters. Sedgebeer was convinced that McPeters had not been present at the murder scene, but was aware of the guilt of the others and was observing the criminal code of silence in order to protect them. He expressed his doubts about McPeters' guilt to Sheriff Will - mirth, who immediately authorized him to continue the investigation, and continue the investigation he did. He spent many hours of his off -duty time interviewing people who might be able to supply information he sought. After sifting through statements and run- ning down rumors, Sedgebeer became certain in his own mind that the men responsible for the robbery and murder of Harry Trowbridge were Eddie Gene Dillworth, Joe Sonny Ray, Ronnie Jackson and Larry Smith. How to prove it was the problem! Although Dillworth and Ray had been con- victed, further evidence was needed before Jackson or Smith could be charged. Ronnie Jackson was in jail on another charge, but Larry Smith was still at large. Many rumors had come to Sedgebeer's attention that both Jackson and Smith had told various persons that they had participated in the crime, but when these people were found and interviewed, they either denied that they had heard the two suspects make such statements, or else stated that their information was only hearsay. Typical of the frustration which Sedgebeer encountered was the following incident: McPeters' attorney came to the District At- torney's office and reported that he had new information which could clear his client. He stated that he had received a phone call from a woman who claimed her son had told her that he had seen Ronnie Jackson with a lot of money in his hands the morning after the robbery and murder. Jackson had purportedly told the boy that he got the money from the stationon Elm and Annadale and that he, Ed- die Gene Dillworth, Joe Sonny Ray, and Larry Smith, had pulled the job. The boy was located after some difficulty. He told the investigators that he had not been telling the truth when he told his mother about seeing Ronnie Jackson with the money in his hands the day after the robbery. When asked why he told his mother this story, he replied, "All I wanted to do was try to make you guys that was working on the case work a little harder. I don't think Ernest was in on this." So far all that Sedgebeer had turned up had been rumor and hearsay. However, he was firmly convinced that McPeters was not one of the participants in the crime, although doubtless an accessory. There were several puzzling factors to be explained. First, if McPeters was not present at the crime scene, why did Dillworth and Ray not come forward and say so? Second, where had McPeters been between 6 :30 and 7:00 P.M. on the night of December 16, 1966, the period during which the crime was committed? Surely there must be someone who remembered seeing him during this period. After his arrest McPeters told a rambling story about drinking with a group of fellows and girls and visiting a pool hall; then being at Ronnie Jackson's house for awhile. The most puzzling question of all was why did McPeters brag to others about his participation in the crime if he were not actually involved? Was he protecting some- 154 SPEED RACING EQUIPMENT • Custom Machine Shop • Engine Building Modifications PRECISION ENGINEERING & SPEED SHOP 4730 E.

These were the questions which Sedgebeer sought to answer. Nearly everyone Sedgebeer interviewed seemed certain that Ronnie Jackson and Larry Smith were the other two partic- ipants, but so far not a single person had been found who actually heard either of them admit being involved in the crime or had seen them with Dillworth and Ray on the night of Decem- ber 16, 1966. There was no other course to follow except to keep interviewing persons in the hope that someone would come up with a lead. One of the most persistent believers in Ernest McPeters' innocence was his brother, James. This was the brother who had partic- ipated with Ernest in the courtroom assault on Deputy D. A. James Quashnick. He turned over to Detective Sedgebeer a list of people who had told him that his brother was innocent and was taking a "bum rap" for someone else. Some of these persons had been interviewed previously but it might be worth a try to talk to them once more. One of these persons was a young man whom we shall call Walter James, although this is not his true name. Walter James was interviewed on June 30, 1967. He readily admitted having told Jimmy McPeters that his brother was innocent. When asked on what facts he based his statement, he replied that he had been with Ernest McPe- ters on the night of the robbery and murder. James was advised of his rights by Detec- tive Sedgebeer and statements were taken by the District Attorney's Office. The interview went something like this with Deputy D. A.'s Pitts and Quashnick and Detective Sedgebeer asking the questions: Q. Do you know anything other than what you testified to? A. I know there is another person in- volved and it is not Ernest. I know because I seen him with my own eyes. Q. Was it Larry Smith? A. I'm not going to be a snitch. ' Q. What is the basis of your knowing who the fourth person is? Did you see it with your own eyes? A. Larry Smith told me that he was involved in the robbery. I seen mud on his shoes. They got $50.00 each; they only got $200 all together. Q. Did he tell you that night that he robbed the station? A. Yes, he told that night. Larry Smith came back over to Ronnie Jackson's house and went into a room and split the money up. I was there when they came back. There was Larry Smith, Ronnie Jackson, Joe Ray, and Eddie Gene Dillworth. I seen Larry come out of one of the bedrooms and he had a wad of money. Q. Can you tell us why Ernest has not come forward and told who did it? A. Because he thought he would get a new trial. Q. What makes you think Larry got fifty dollars? A. Two hundred dollars only goes four ways! Q. Why are you telling us this if Larry is a friend of yours? A. I have nothing to lose by telling you this. One friend in and one friend gone. I will not testify to this -in court. I told you who it was; now it's up to you. I am not going to play snitch. Armed with these statements, Detective Sedgebeer had something substantial to go on. However, he felt that Walter James' state- ments needed corroboration before they could be presented in court. James stated that another witness who had seen the four sus- pects come out of the bedroom of the Jackson house on the night of the crime was a young soldier home on leave. This was the same soldier to whom Joe Ray had given the gun for "coolingoff" after the crime. James stat- ed that if the soldier was told that he (James) was going to testify, the soldier would tell the truth and testify also. The only difficulty was the fact that the soldier had long since returned to his base at Ft. Bliss, located in El Paso, Texas. Sher- iff Willmirth obtained the necessary author- ization for Sedgebeer to fly to Texas and mil- itary authorities there were advised of his mission. At Fort Bliss, the young soldier related much the same story as had Walter James. He stated that McPeters had never left the Jackson residence during the time of the rob- bery. He also said that he had overheard Dill - worth, Ray, Jackson, and another subject who he did not know by name discussing the rob- bery after they returned to the Jackson home from committing the crime. Although he could not identify the fourth suspect, he knew where he lived. The house he described was the residence of Larry Smith. He admitted that he had not told about overhearing the conversation among the four suspects before because he had not wanted to become any more involved than he was already. Returning home from El Paso, Sedgebeer then took a statement from Walter James in which he stated that he was now ready to tes- tify to what he had said in his statement of 156 ASSOCIATED LIFT TRUCKS, INC.

On August 22, 1967, a statement was taken from another young man, now living in Bakersfield, who had been present at the Cal - wa Street address on the night of the crime. His statements substantiated both those of the young soldier and Welter James. Ronnie Jackson was already in jail on another charge. Larry Smith was still at large, but was arrested at the home of his parents and placed in Juvenile Hall as he was only seventeen. Smith readily admitted his part in the crime but refused to give a formal statement implicating the others, al- though he admitted to the officers that they were involved. Realizing that none of his co- defendants were going to speak up for him, Ernest McPe- ters came to the conclusion that the only way he was going to avoid the murder conviction was to speak the truth, in the hope that the truth would set him free. McPeters indicated to his attorney that he was now willing to tell the truth as to what took place on the night of December 16, 1966. On August 24, 1967, McPeters, accom- panied by his attorney, was interviewed by Deputy D. A. Quashnick and Detective Sedge - beer. McPeters stated that on the night of the crime he was at the home of Ronnie Jack- son. Eddie Gene Dillworth, Joe Sonny Ray, and Larry Smith were also there. McPeters said that just prior to the robbery, Dill - worth, Ray, Jackson, and Smith were talking about robbing the old man at the service station on Elm and Annadale. McPeters asked if he could go along too, but Dillworth told him there would be too many going if he ( McPeters) went along. He then went back inside the house. A short time later, Dill- worth, Ray, Jackson and Smith returned to the house and went into a back bedroom. He said that he followed them to the bedroom and watched Dillworth divide up the money withtheothers. Dillworth told McPeters that he had to shoot the old man. McPeters said that he told Dillworth, "You did not have to shoot that old man; you, Ray, Jackson, and Smith could have taken the money without shooting him." He stated that they told him that Joe Sonny Ray had the gun, but just be- fore entering the station he gave it to Dill- worth. Dillworth then gave the gun back to Ray immediately after leaving the station. After the four returned to the house, McPe- ters said he observed Ray giving the gun to the soldier for safekeeping. When asked why he had not told the truth in the beginning, McPeters stated that he and Dillworth were good friends and that Dillworth had begged him not to tell until after the trial because he ( Dillworth ) had an "old lady" and a kid and "he would hurt" if he had to go to prison. Dillworth told McPeters that if he did not testify against him and the others there was a good chance that they would all be found not guilty. Should they be found guilty, Dillworth agreed hewould come forward and clear McPeters. Dillworth told McPeters that he and Ray were going to place the blame on Walter James, the soldier, and others who had been present at the Jackson home that evening. Shortly after being found guilty, McPeters said he had an opportunity to confront Dill- worth in the holding cage at the jail. He re- minded Dillworth of his promise, but said that Dillworth told him he had better help himself. Dillworth was then interviewed at the jail and told of McPeters' statement, to see if he had anything to say in McPeters' behalf. The only statement he would make was that McPe- Enjoy your favorite cocktail at NANCY'S "The House of Charcoal Broiled Steaks" 3075 No. Moroa 224 -1660 GOLDEN SIGN CO.

Apparently the old adage that "there is honor among thieves" does not hold true. The new evidence so painstakingly gath- ered by Sedgebeer was now placed before Judge Joy, who ordered the murder conviction against McPeters set aside. However, he was charged with perjury and accessory to mur- der for his part in shielding Dillworth and the others. On January 18, 1968, nlcPeters was placed on five years probation by Judge Leo- nard Meyers and released from jail where he had spent thirteen months for his mis- placed loyalty. On August 31, 1967, Sheriff Willmirth awarded Detective Sedgebeer the coveted Departmental Commendation for his "devo- tion to duty and his strict adherence to the basic principles of American justice that the guilty shall not escape nor the innocent suffer." On February 7, 1968, he was further honored by being presented with the American Legion Award by Post 509 of the American Legion in Fresno. Eddie Dillworth and Sonny Joe Ray are now in prison for their part in the crime. Ronnie Jackson and Larry Smith were granted separate trials and each was found not guilty.

Remove your mouth, turn your head to the side, and listen to the outrush of air that indicates air exchange. Repeat blowing. On an adult, blow vig- orously at a rate of 12 breaths per minute. For a young child, take relatively shallow breaths ap- propriate for the child's size at the rate of about 20 per minute. If you are not getting air exchange, recheck head and jaw position, turn victim on his side, and give several sharp blows between the shoulder blades to jar foreign matter free. Sweep fingers through victim's mouth to remove foreign matter. Do NOT QUIT! Let the doctor decide when to stop. When the victim's breathing starts, time your efforts to coincide with his efforts to breathe for himself. Keep him lying down and warm him with blankets or other coverings. Get him under a doctor's care during the recovery period. *Q I - A Fair Shake With Flake.. FLAKE PEST CONTROL, INC.

Belmont Ave. 233 -8724 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS Code of Ethics As a Law Enforcement Officer, my fundamental duty is to serve mankind; to safe- guard lives and property; to protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression, or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional rights of all men to liberty, equality and justice. I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all; maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule; develop self- restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed in both my personal and official life, I will be exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and the regulations of my department. Whatever I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is confided to me in my official capacity will be kept ever secret unless revelation is necessary, in the performance of my duty. I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities, or friendships to influence my decisions. With no compromise for crime and with relentless persecution of criminals, I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting gratuities. I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of the police service. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession —law enforcement.
