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 Rarticularly 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 p,erson 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.
OnAugust21, 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 ofa 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 join'ed 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.

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.
Constable Pigg was a big man; he stood six feet seven
inches. 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 age of 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. Don is survived
by his widow, Verna, and one daughter.
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.

F.C.S.O.R.A. Joins P.O.R.A.C.
Fresno County Sheriffs Office Relief Ann.
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. Fromthis meeting
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."

The Professionalization 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. inJune 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.

WHAT ARE POLICEMEN MADE OF?
Exce'Ypt from 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, 1ll1usual, 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.

But. .•
If he hurries, he's careless; if he's deliberate, he's lazy.
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
doesn't hurt.
He must be able to whip two men
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
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.
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
some
isn't.
The policeman must be a minister,
and a gentleman.
And of course he'll have to be a geni.us ...
For he'll have to feed a family on a policeman's s alary.

POLICE, TRAINING
A problem recognized by many police
officials has been that of the standardization
ofpOlice training. 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

and training methods. Usually, such training
was geared to the policy and procedure of
the individual agency, and rightfully so; how
ever, such a system did little to furnish the
foundations of knowledge so necessary in
police work in modern America.
By statute in 1959, Title 4 was added to
the California Penal Code establishing a Com
mission on Peace Officers Standards and
Training. This commission is a part of the
State Department of Justice and is appointed
by the Governor after consultation with the
Attorney General and with the advice and con
sent of the Senate. The commission is empow

ered to "contract with such other agencies
... for the rendition ..• of services ... that
will best carry out its duties."
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
trainingfaCility. 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. 1. 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.

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 are tested
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
fillment ofthe 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 ofthe school apply. Officers completing

:
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 Mr. EarI 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

ADMINISTRATION DIVISION
TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION
goes the responsibility for formulating
departmental policy and the rules which gov
ern each division. 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.1. 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
questto 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.

CORONERS BUREAU
FRESNO COUNTY is one of approxi
mately 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
only to 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 strainon 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.

THE PATROL DIVISION, within any law
enforcement agency, represents the "back
bone" of that agency. 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
pectedcriminals; assists to citizens; partic
ipation in emergency situations; and business
and residential patrol checks. Inherent in the

duties are long and often tedious hours, not
to mention the omnipresent element ofdanger.
Weof 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
in order 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.

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 a-ll 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.

INADEQUATE MEANS for maintaining a
surveillance of inmates continues to plague
efforts to operate the jail in a safe and secure
manner. 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.

One of the major factors regulating the
changes within the Bureau of Identification
and Records was the greater stress and im
portance beingplaced upon physical evidence
in the prosecution of criminal cases and more
particularly that evidence of a technical or
scientific nature. This greater reliance upon
the use ofphysical evidence has been brought
about by recent court rulings affecting the
admissibility ofconfessions, or incriminating
statements made by suspects in the absence
of legal counselor 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. (Continued on Next Page)

-<'««c"~ 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 trainingprogram 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

CIVIL DIVISION
THE PRIMARY PURPOSE of the Civil
Division is to receive, record, prepare and
execute all types ofprocesses, writs, notices,
orders, bench warrants, body attachments,
claim and delivery actions, subpoenas, and
many other types of documents sent to it by
the Courts, attorneys, and private citizens.
A civil case may be anything from a small
claims action to be served on a defendant to
an attachment or execution on a large busi
ness involving many thousands of dollars.
This division is unique in law enforce
ment in that it collects fees for its services.
The fees for the 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
J. PAPAZIAN
Lieutenant
F. KOLL
Captain
L. HUNTD. HOFF
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 workwith 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.

THE RESERVE PATROL DIVISION
IN THE SUMMER OF 1957 Sheriff Mel
vin A. 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; an 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.
The present 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. Many have gone

on to law enforcement as a profession.
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.

REEDLEY REPORTS
THE CITY OF REEDLEY experienced
a slight increase in crimes last year, but its
Police Department was not called to investi
gate any sensational or noteworthy offenses
duringthat period. 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
sonnelof 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 ra.dio 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.

SAF ,ETY AND LAW IENFORCEMENT
ON FRESNO COUNTY'S 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.

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.

While there were no major boating acci
dents reported and no drownings in the lake
during the 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
offishing 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-

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

spite of the many inconveniences suffered
due to the adverse weather conditions.
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,
alongwith a 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
FRIANT GARAGE

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
ofa 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. Remember, your feet
may be your only mode of transportation in

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.

age of 12 vehicle accidents and about 30 job
caused accidents a month.
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's 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.

It is a typical Monday morning. The detec
tives have been up most of the night investi
gating the robbery of a supermarket. Pre
liminary interrogation of the victim and wit
nesses has been completed and the various
bits of evidence gathered and preserved by
the criminologists who were dispatched to
the scene. But the work has only begun. Now,
one by one, the numerous clues will be checked
out in an effort to obtain some lead to the
solution of the crime.
"Better checkwith M.O. and see if they've
got anything," a detective tells his partner.
"Good idea," says the other, picking up
the phone.
Snugly located in one corner of the Iden
tification Division between the clanging door
of the women's jail and the much-traveled
aisle is a small area containing two desks
and an array of file cabinets. This is the
Modus Operandi Section, or M.O. Section as
it is commonly called. At first glance it is
no different from any other office in the de

partment, with perhaps one exception. 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
a case where one burglar habitually propped
a 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 someof 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

information, although seemingly trivial in it
self, becomes important when connected with
other clues that have been gathered. 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
alongwith 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
qhart 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 ofthese crimes to help
identify the perpetrator. Over 17,000 photos
are currently in file for ready viewing.

The telephone rings again. 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 ofthese 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 ofphysical evidence. In many
cases these are the only clues available. As

county Sheriff's Department is largely rural
where unpaved ground adjoins the paved
streets, excellent tire tracks are sometimes
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 offiles 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.
A11 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
4"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.

During 1967 the Fresno County Sheriff's
Department was involved in the investigation
of thirteen homicides. 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

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 J an
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
tqe 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. When she re
turned to the den she heard a gurgling noise

the room she observed blood spurting from
the victim's head.
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 Selma 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
Minson patted 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 for his 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
(COl/filmed on Next Page)
117
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
knowingparties that Terry Minson was mar
ried to a soldier se'rving 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

The English Ford belcmging to Mike Vance
which Terry Minson drove to her parents'
home the night of the murder.
Terry Minson had walked into the house with
the rifle in her hands and announced, "I did
it." When he questioned her, she told him, "I
shot my Dad." 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 ofthe house, and Mrs. Brown said, "I'll
go ih 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. Further investigation elic
ited testimony that Mrs. Brown had been pe
riodically feeding ground glass to her husband
and that Mike Vance and another boy had actu

ally gone to the house with the sawed-off shot
gun to earn their fee, but had backed out at
the last minute.
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
servingthe 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 attemptingto 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 ofthe 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 ofCalwa and became her
boyfriend. The relattonship 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 eastofCalwa. 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

woman on Annadale 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
ofAnnadale 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. During the state

ment, Lopez related how he and Elizabeth
had separated as a result of their problems
and then, on Saturday, April 22, 1967, they
had reconciled. 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 1was
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-halfof 1968 has
produced a total of five new cases or what
prior to 1967 would have been half the yearly
average. The fact that all persons responsible
for casesoccurring in 1967 were subsequently
brought to trial can only be credited to the
excellence of 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.

WHAT OTHER AGENCIES ARE DO'iNG
A S IN THE PAST, 'the Review takes the opportunity to introduce
other local law enforcement agencies to the reader. 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.
Both of the departments work efficiently and without fanfare. It is
possible that many readers may not be aware of their contributions. It
is, therefore, a pleasure for the Review to present these two fine agencies.

MELVIN W . NITZ
Fresno County Public Defender
Mr. Melvin W. Nitz was appointed Fres
no County's first Public Defender with Hugh
Goodwin as his chief assistant. Attorneys on
his staff include Hugo Kazato, Keith Raymond,
Kenneth Farnsworth, Thomas Spenik, Ed Sar
kisian, and Al Villa. Investigators for the
Department are Arthur "Ed" Dana, Senior
Investigator, and Leslie H. Kimber, Jr., In
vestigator. Legal Stenographer Nancy Crow
der, and Intermediate Steno's Becky King and
Emma Perez handle the clerical duties. Plans
for the future call for the addition of two So
cial Worker Aides, whose duties will include
backgrounds dealing with financial ability,
social background, and probation problems.
The Public Defender's Office is in temporary
facilities in the Rowell Building, but will be
moved to the County Court House when quar
ters are ready for them.
Mr. Nitz has stated that one of the advan
tages of having a Public Defender is that the
office is better equipped than the average
attorney to run an investigation. "We have a
better line of communication to the District
Attorney's Office, the Sheriff's Office, the
Police Departments, to all law enforcement.
We are constantly working with them."

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
sultin suspension or revocation ofthe 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 I,
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, compliancewith 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. The Department

obviously in.toxicated persons, sales during (J
restricted hours, ownership of the business,
prostitution activities, narcotics, business
practices violations, et cetera. Permitting
any of the listed offenses or others to occur
on licensed premises can lead to the institu
tion of diSCiplinary proceedings against a
license.

ALL IN A DAY
By Gerald D. Lawless
THE FOLLOWING P ARAG RAPHS describe one day in the life of a
Deputy Sheriff assigned to patrol the Pine Flat Lake area during the
summer of 1967.
This is by no means a typical day; however, the events described
did happen "all in a day" and other days filled with similar events,
many of which do not end as happily, make up the sum total of a Deputy
Sheriff's career.

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. Itwas decided that if someone could

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 ofthe 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 ofwas 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

to our feet in fright. 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 nb 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 aU 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 ofKings River by A vacado 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 drippingwet 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
131
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
tell-mile 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
200yards 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 downthe 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 comingdown on the south side of the riv
er. We could see the boy, still in the tree and
still callingfor 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 itwas impossible to reach him from
this point.
It was getting late and the only other way
I could think of was the helicopter. The only
'copter that might be available at this time

was Harry Rogers' and he was working for
the Forestry Service. I radioed the office and
they put in a call for him. 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.

SEAR[H
and
RES[UE
DIARY
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 snow pack 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 tryout 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. (Continued on Next Page)

Altogether it was a very interesting, in
formative, and enjoyable experience, in spite
of the fact bears and skunks invaded our cook
tent each night. 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. If he

had tried such a maneuver there was little
chance he survived.
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.

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 picl{ed up a trail, lead
ing into the narrow, rocky canyon connecting
Crown Basin and Crown Valley. However, the
:scent was lost in the granite-floored canyon.
The lack offootprints in several muddy spots
indicated that ifGary 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.

By Wednesday we'd decided Gary Fraser
had met the same fate as James Judson. 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 dropping below 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:
Amile 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
assume that if he did so, he became confused
when he started the descent, and instead of
turningdown the southwest face he descended
the almost identical appearing southeast

face, which would have taken him into the
Blue Canyon country several miles east of
Crown Basin. He could easily have spent nine
days in finding his way back. It's easy to think
ofa theoretical answer to the question "Where
was he?" What nO one will ever be able to
answer is, "How did he stay alive?"

year old Son Erich into the San Joaquin gorge
northofCow Meadow. They carried plenty of
camping gear and food for their planned stay
ofa 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, LesterScheidt,
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 dE?er 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

closed. He walked into Sample Meadow ahead
ofDon 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 TRUTH
WILL SET
YOU FREE
FOR Ernest V. McPeters, the future
did not appear very encouraging on the after
noon ofJune 21, 1967. 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

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 occurred9n 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 6f 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
ofthe 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
briefconversation 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 # 1 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. At this time a loud report

was heard and the victim realized that he had
been shot. He fell to the floor and the suspects
then proceeded to go through his pockets.
They removed his wallet which contained
$200.00 in tens, twenties and fives. They left
the premises by running south on the west
side of Elm Avenue. No vehicle was seen or
heard.
Harry Trowbridge was taken to the hos
pital where he was examined to determine
the extent of his injuries. Examining doctors
found the bullet's penetration point on the
right side of his chest about two inches above
the costal margin. The bullet had traveled a
downward course and lodged in his right side.
He was rushed to surgery immediately, but
to no avail. He expired at 9:50 P.M. while on
the operating table. What had been until this
time a robbery and assault now became a
robbery and homicide.
Although Harry Trowbridge was a white
man operating a business in a predominately
Negro neighborhood, he was well-liked and
highly respected in the community. Many of
his clients and neighbors were highly incensed
by the needless and cold-blooded killing.
The first break in the case came early
the next morning when an informant came to
the Sheriff's Department and reported that

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 waiting outside 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
ofyoung people at the home of Ronnie Jackson
on Calwa Street during the night of the crime.

dale. Both Dillworth and McPeters had been
present at least part of the evening. 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 a s 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, Rayand McPeters had been at the
home of Ronnie J ackson on the night of the
crime. Jackson was arrested a~d booked on
suspicion of robbery and murder. Because
there was insufficient evidence to hold him,
he had to be released. He was later charged

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 toayoungsoldier,
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.
The defendant, Ernest McPeters, and his
brother, James, who had been witnessing the
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
McPeters.
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. lt is not
unusual for a guilty person to protest his in
nocence evenwhile being led to his execution.

However, to Sedgebeer, there seemed to be
a quality of sincerity in the frantic pleadings
of McPeters. 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
acknowledgingand 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.
Sedgebeerdid 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 proofof 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 subj ect 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
153
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
hall 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 ofthe 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 a while. 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-

one? If so, why? Or, was he merely trying
to impress those of his social group as to
how tough he was? 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 Rayon the night of Decem
ber 16, 1~66. 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 brotherwas 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.
J ames 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
155
was La rry 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
i.tary authorities there were advised of his
mission.
At Fort Bliss, the young soldier related
much the same story as had Wa lter James.
He stated that McPeters had never left the
Jackson residence duringthe 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

June. 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 Walter 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 goingto 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 J ack
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
157
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
with the others. 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 he would 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-

ters was lying. 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
JudgeJoy, 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, McPeters 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 beingpresented 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.

1 Tilt the victim's head back so that the chin
is pointing upward.
2 pun the jaw into a jutting-out position to
move the base of the tongue away from the
back of the throat, thus keeping the airway open .
3 Pinch the nostrils shut to prevent air that
you blow in his mouth from escaping through
the nose.
4 Breathe into the mouth. Open your mouth
and place it tightly over the victim's mouth.
In case of a young child, place your mouth over
both the mouth and nose of the victim.
Blow into the mouth until you see chest rise.
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.

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 examp'le ta 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 exemp'lary 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 officious'ly 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 appropriate'ly 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.
