It was in 1957 that the first feeble efforts were made toward publ ishi ng a magazine in­ tended to foster understanding of local law enforcement problems and accomplishments, and to both entertain and educate by presenting the material in an interesting, readable format. In the ensuing twenty years both the magazine and the Department have doubled in size. ' The population of the community has grown at an almost unbelievable rate. With it there has been a corresponding increase in law enforcement problems. In spite of much more sophisti­ cated equipment and better trained officers, we still have a crime rate too high to be written off as inevitable and as a necessary accoutrement of a highly technological society. In an attempt to increase public understanding of local and general criminal justice problems, with this edition the Review initiates a new editorial policy. Instead of merely reporting or blandly commenting on problems and what we in law enforcement consider untenable situations, definite opinions are offered regarding cause a nd solution. Not all readers will agree with all that is said, but ed itorial intent is not to force readers to think in any specific way, but to help them to think objectively. Problems are presented a s we in law enforcement generally see them, and opinions are offered as to what can and should be done. It is left to the citizens of the community to decide what type of job they want done and how much h€lp and cooperation they're willing to contribute toward seeing that it i s done properly. Law e nforcem ent is not a field of endeavor about which the citizen can say, "It 's t he cop's job; let him do it." Only by a conc entrated t eam effort with the police, other criminal justice agencies,and a con cerned and well informed citizenry working in unison can s uccess be achieved. Thank you for your past s uppor t a nd cooperation, and may we i n t he Sheriff's De partment and the citiz ens we serve continue to en joy a c l os e and un de rstanding relationshi p. R.

During a pause in the conversation John, who previously hadn't had much to say, said something to him in French. The visitor's face lit up, he answered in the same lan­ guage, and for a few moments everyone else in the room was silent as he and John con­ versed fluently in the second language of his homeland. A small incident, but it serves to illustrate John's talent for being able to do or say the right thing to put others at ease, and John Carella why John's place at the Farm will not be easily filled. C/O II John Carella succumbed in J an­ uary, 1977 to an illness which had suddenly struck a few months earlier. He had been a member of the Industrial Farm staff since July of 1959. He was a quiet, gentle man who was well-liked and respected by all who knew him. He had a particular knack for supervising inmate workers, commanding their respect and inspiring their coopera­ tion without either obvious authoritarian­ ism or undue familiarity. The attractive grounds at the Industrial Farm are a living memorial to him, for as supervisor of the inmate landscaping crew he was largely re­ sponsible for their development and main­ tenance. John was modestly reticent about his early life, but we do know that he was born and reared in New York; that during World War II he served in the Military Police; that before coming to California in about 1953 he worked in a dairy business owned by his family; and that he'd received an excellent education at the City College of New York, where he majored in languages. He spoke several languages quite fluently. That brings to mind an incident which occurred in the Farm dining room a few years ago. A politician from Laos, in this country on an official visit, had heen taken to the Farm for lunch. He spoke English rea­ sonably well, but it was obvious that he was not entirely comfortable with the language. Leonard Donald Gilbert Don Gilbert was just getting established in his law enforcement career when last August it was brought to a tragic end by an automobile accident. He had joined the De­ partment in 1973 as a correctional officer and was assigned to jail duty. In May of 1974 he was appointed to the position of deputy sheriff, where he served as a bailiff for a short time, then was transferred to the Patrol Division. For most of his time in Patrol he was assigned to the South Sector, and at the time of his death had recently been transferred to the Metropolitan Sector and assigned to Watch III. Don was born, and spent his early child­ hood in Selma. While he was still in elemen­ tary school the family moved to Fresno, where he completed grade school and was graduated from McLane High School. Later he attend~d Fresno City College, Weber State College in Utah, and Fresno State University at Fresno. 11 Caring for homeless children throughout the world. THE MINISTRY OF REV .

DAYTON FRESNO 12 EDITORIAL Common Sense In the early years of the American Revolu­ tion a man named Thomas Paine wrote a book­ let entitled Common Sense. It contained his personal thoughts on the motivation and the struggle of the colonies to break away from England and form a new nation, and it became a stirring message to the confused, divided colonists, many of whom, in spite of all Eng­ land had done to provoke the rebellion, still felt a strong attachment for the mother country and hoped the differences could be settled without breaking all ties. In plain, simple language they could easily understand, he pointed out the folly of hoping they could ever have true freedom under a monarchy, and the fallacy of the theory that it would be in their best interests to remain under English juris­ diction and protection in order to maintain an orderly and prosperous society. Paine's small and unpretentious work was widely read, and received with varying de­ grees of enthusiasm. Many denounced him as a traitor. But the booklet made a strong and very positive impression on many more, helped tremendously to unite the colonists in a com­ mon cause and effort, and provided much ofthe inspiration they needed to persevere against seemingly hopeless odds, and eventually to succeed. As we have heard so many times from vari­ ous television commentators in the past year, that's the way it was 200 years ago today. And, for different reasons, society is just about as confused and divided today. We are not under the domination of a foreign power, but we face dangers from within that may be just as detri­ mental to the cause of freedom and justice that our forefathers fought and died for and left as a legacy to us. Ironically, it is in the name of those prin­ ciples for which the war was fought that those among us who would destroy our way of life find the means to wreak havoc on an orderly society. The rights of a person accused of a crime and the theory that he is innocent until proven guilty have been emphasized and dis­ torted to the point that much more concern is shown for the criminal than for his victim. Our present form of justice is a mockery of that be­ lieved in by those who rebelled against the harshness and injustice of King George III. Making the punishment fit the crime is a sick joke. We're told that we, society as a whole, are actually the guilty whenever a crime is com­ mitted, because we had failed to provide the en­ vironment or incentive that would have en­ couraged the perpetrator to be a law-abiding citizen. Therefore, instead of punishing him, we assauge our guilt by spending enormous sums of money to make his time in confinement as comfortable as possible. This is known as re­ habilitation. We then turn him loose at the earliest opportunity or slightest excuse. As a result of this perverted approach to holding people responsible for their wrongful acts, we have so many present and would-be criminals on the streets that decent citizens live in a con­ stant state of fear for their lives and property, just as they did when the British redcoats roamed the countryside. This is only a part of the overall problem, of course, which is too complex to blame anyone factor. But we must face the fact that our demo­ cratic form of government is not functioning in the manner dreamed of by the framers of our Constitution in that it is not providiilg equal rights and protection for all members and classes of our society. Those who deliberated, 13 argued, compromised, travailed, and finally brought into existence our present form of gov­ ernment had agreed at the outset on one thing: it would be a government for and by the people. But even that sacred principle has been seri­ ously eroded by a government that has grown too big; by procedural rules designed, perhaps inadvertently but just as certainly, to favor special interests; and by the judicial branch's assumption of legislative powers. What we desperately need in our time is another Thomas Paine, someone who can speak common sense to the American people without resorting to the flowery rhetoric of the profes­ sional politician, the bureaucratese of the typ­ ical government official, the sensationalism of the news media, or the sob stories of the do- QUICK STOP FOOD &BEVERAGES Case Discounts -Open 7 Days a Week Groceries -Deli Items -Sundries -Gift Wrapping 266~6941 ~3 E.

Several of its articles will discuss very frankly, objectively, and simply some of the more critical problems now facing our society in the field of criminal justice. Perhaps it is presumptuous of us to compare our effort to thatofThomas Paine. But when he wrote CommlYri Sense he had no idea it would have such a dramatic and far-reaching effect. He merely had some very strong feelings he wished to share with as many readers as pos­ sible, with the thought that it would give them a better understanding of the problems society faced at the time, and help them to make up their own minds regarding appropriate solu­ tions. That, too, is our intention and hope. [Unless otherwise indicated the articles referred to are written by co-editor Gene Hallan] RENTALS • A' l COlnpr :.;s~.ors &. Tools • P!l lfn bers Sl1 akes &.

MAPLE AVE. 14 The job of providing protective police service at the local level continues to increase in diffi­ cultyand complexity. This situation cannot be attributed to anyone factor; many are in­ volved. Not the least significant-in fact, close to the top in importance-are the irresponsible prison release practices of the State of Cali­ fornia, which create a very critical burden for local law enforcement officials, and place in jeopardy all law-abiding citizens. Persons with little or no practical experience in dealing with the criminal or street-level knowledge of his traits and habits, except in carefully con­ trolled, antiseptic conditions as opposed to the stark social environment in which criminal offenses usually occur, exercise sole authority to interpret laws, pass judgment, and deter­ mine recividism potential. All too often such individuals or organizations view rehabili­ tation of a criminal offender as a tangible commodity which can be purchased with public funds and force-fed to the criminal, no matter how reluctant he may be to swallow and digest it. The constantly rising crime rate and the high number of recidivists involved in major offenses should be tragic proof, beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty, that rehabilitation efforts are totally ineffective with many members of criminal society; that a large number of offenders strongly prefer their chosen lifestyle and resist any and all attempts to "cure" them of the disease they've caught as a result of the unhappy environment in which society has forced them to grow up and live. Most career criminals are quite adept. however. at convincing judges, probation and parole officers, and other officials concerned with their release, that they are terribly sorry for their past misdeeds, and sincerely want to COMMON SENSE Rehabilitation of the Criminal by Sheriff Harold C. McKinney be rehabilitated. The percentage of those who succeed is so low as to indicate that the majority of them have professed penitence and ex­ pressed a desire to be helped only because it gave them an opportunity to enjoy the compar­ atively less restrictive life of a prison rehabili­ tation program, or to enhance their chances of an earlier release from custody. If a criminal sincerely wants to be rehabilitated, he doesn't need to participate in an elaborate, expensive, abstract, scientific program. In most cases all he needs is a bit of encouragement, some assis~ tance in finding a job when released from custody and, for a time, some firm guidance that will deter him. when the inevitable dis­ couragements and setbacks occur, from returning to previous associates and activities that would be bad influences. Ifhe doesn't have that desire, all the fancy programs in the world will be a waste of time. The challenge, then, is to find a way to instill in the offender' a sincere desire to change his lifestyle. That seldom can be done by appealing to his conscience. Public contempt for anyone breaking t.he law used to be a fairly effective deterrent, but in the permissive society of today, crime is not necessarily considered dis­ graceful. It is much more fashionable to tell the criminal it is really the fault of society, for not providing him the opportunity and incentive to live a law-abiding life, which certainly doesn't do much to discourage his criminal tendencies. The typical professional criminal of today, the one who makes his living by illegally appro­ priating, in one way or another, the money or property of others, is not a crimina] because his parents were divorced, or because the other kids laughed at the shabby clothes he wo're to school , or because he hasn't been able to find an honest job. He's a criminal because he wants to 15 be; because it's his business. The old platitude that crime doesn't pay no longer applies, if it ever did. It pays quite well. In any business venture there's an element of risk. The legitimate businessman risks his capital, or money; the criminal risks his free­ dom. When the former considers opening a store or making an investment, he carefully calculates the ratio between the amount he'll have to invest and the return he expects to receive in profit or interest. If it appears he's going to have to invest such a large sum the return won't justify the risk, he looks around for a more favorable venture. The criminal, too, takes into consideration the relationship between the risk and the expected return. He estimates how long he'll be deprived of h is freedom if caught and convicted, and weighs that potential inconven­ ience and unpleasantness against the profit, or amount he plans to gain by stealing, embezzling, or otherwise illegally gaining possession of someone else's property or money. Unfortunately, under prison release policies in effect in this state, he seldom finds the risk too great. In the first place, the odds of his being caught are in his favor. Police officers in most juris­ dictions are so overwhelmed with the sheer volume of complaints (many of them service­ type calls not at all related to criminal activity but traditionally dumped on the police) and with the necessity of being very cautious lest they inadvertently interfere with someone's civil rights, that they don't have time to effec­ tively patrol or conduct thorough follow-up investigations. If by some accident, careless­ ness on his part, or the rare occasion when an officer does have time to do an effective job, the criminal is caught, there's still a good chance he won't be convicted. Every possible techni­ cality of law will be applied in his favor; the question being asked athis trial may seem to be not "Is he guiltyor innocent?" but, "Is there any possible way we can turn him loose, regardless of guilt or innocence?" He may very well walk out of the courtroom with an apology from the judge for his having been inconvenienced. But suppose he is convicted. Again, there are so many alternatives that his chances of serving a substantial prison term are very low. There are more than half a million felony *ouvo Landscape & Sprinkler Contractors, Inc.

Indianapolis 227-7187 FRESNO ~------------------------------_~I arrests each year in this state, yet there are less than 22,000 adult inmates in the state prison system. Obviously, of those convicted, many will either enjoy probation, whether deserving or not, while others will serve sentences in county jails that are not designed, staffed, or intended for that purpose. The net result is, of course. higher local property taxes to expand, improve, and s aff local jail facilities; to in­ crease police field forces; and a growing fear on the part of the populace to move freely about their communities. Probation may require no time in custody, or it may involve ajail term of a few months as one of the conditions of a probationary term of from one to two or three years. In either case, the convict will be given certain rules and regula­ tions to live by which, if adhered to, will re­ strict his activities tosome degree. But no one is going to be able to force him to live by them all the time, so probation can be considered, at worst, a minor inconvenience. Ifhe does go to prison. he'll find people work­ ing very hard to see thathis stay is as short and as comfortable as possible. He'll be counseled, reassured, made aware of the rights he still has even though he is a convicted felon, and given an opportunity to participate in a rehabilita­ tion program. The latter may include an oppor­ tunity to learn a trade so that he'll be able to support himself without resorting to crime after he's released. He won't be particularly interested in either the rehabilitation or the· trade, for going straight and working at a regular job would probably mean longer hours, harder labor, and less money than he can make as a criminal. But he'll go along with it, feign­ ing interest to impress those supervising the program with his sincerity, and earning credit toward an early release date. Even if his crime was of a very serious nature, he may be eligible for parole in a very short time. If he has played the rehabilitation game with sufficient sincerity and humility, been respectful toward prison officials. and not had no serious trouble with his fellow inmates, his chances for release on parole are very good. While on parole he will, as with probation, have rules to live by and a parole officer to report to. But the parole officer has so many other parolees to keep tabs on he can't watch any of them closely enough to be sure they make more 17 CLUB DAKOTA 1871 E. Dakota at Blackstone 222-7693 than a token attempt to obey the rules. Besides, his job is to help his charges stay out of prison. Therefore, even if he catches one of them in a violation, he may ignore it or bend over back­ ward to rationalize or excuse it, for to recommend re-incarceration could be con­ strued as a failure on his part. If the parole officer does decide the violation is of such a serious nature there's no choice but to send the parolee back to prison, he still has a chance. He'll be given a hearing on the alleged rule violation, and still may not lose his freedom. All this makes itabundantly clear that crime is not a high-risk business. It's no wonder, then, that so many now choose it as a vocation, just as others choose to be storekeepers, farmers, or craftsmen. What can be done about the situation? The answer is simple. We can increase the risk factor of crime as a business to a degree that the potential profit won't be worthwhile. By that we don't mean locking up convicted criminals in dungeon-like jails or prisons and throwing the key away. Contrary to popular opinion, law enforcement officers do not advocate such detention facilities. They know better than anyone that such institutions are counterpro­ ductive. They also are in a position to observe first-hand the abject failures of the present rehabilitation process and its odorous impact on the community they serve. The police are not opposed to rehabilitation per se , but abhor the promiscuous application of the process. They resent the annual expenditure of millions of dollars of local tax money to provide for the criminal more comfortable accomodations in the county jail, more lavish settings in prison, and the multitude of programs and services included in the traditional rehabilitation con­ cept. They regard as the only effective deterrent to crime the fundamental principle that jails and prisons are intended to isolate and punish, rather than to provide lucrative experimental laboratories for the idealistic but highly impractical rehabilitation scientist, so he can gather material for his books and maga­ zine articles at the expense of the taxpayer. By punishment they don't mean starvation diets, flogging, cutting off the hands of thieves, or any type of physical abuse.

Bill Vollgraff, Owner 3992 N. Blackstone 224-0796 and convicted, he will lose his freedom for a substantial period of time, and that while he won't be mistreated during incarceration, neither will he be patronized, catered to, or absolved of blame for his misdeeds. He'll have the basic necessities of life, such as adequate food, shelter, clothing, and medical care, but he won't have any luxuries, or many of the plea­ sures and privileges that make the average free citizen's life more than just an existence, In other words, a jailor prison term will be an unpleasant experience, which is as it should be if it is to have its intended effect of being a deterrent to crime. We, as a society, have made exhaustive efforts in recent years to guarantee the rights of the accused and, through either legislative or administrative fiat, to ease the burden of those convicted of crime. So much concern has been shown and so many tears shed in that regard that we find ourselves asking, what is the reward for obeying the law? Where is the justice for the victim of crime? Hopefully, society will one day realize that before we can reduce the crime rate to an acceptable level, we must return to the concept that everyone must be held responsibile for his own behavior.

Most of the legislation enacted into law was of dubious value, and cer­ tain bills seemed designed and intended to encourage or ben fit the criminal rather than to deter or punish him. Much of the blame for the lack of effective action, and for the excess of improper action, can be placed on the Assembly Criminal Justice Committee. It either rejected outright many good bills, or watered them down to the GtJ IILLSaN FARMS INCORPORATED 313 Guarantee Finanoia.l Center 1.318 East Shavv Avenue Fresno, Ca.lif. 83710 Phone 209/228-3444 THANKS AND CONGRATULATES THE FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WITH SPECIAL GRATITUDE TO SHERIFF HAROLD C. McKINNEY MELVILLE E. WILLSON RUSSELL M. WILLSON point they were rendered ineffective. Many of them had already been passed without signifi­ cant opposition by the state Senate, indicating that leaders in both major parties considered them worthwhile. Typical of the latter was a bill which would have provided a stiffer penal­ ty for someone assaulting a senior citizen. It was rejected by the Assembly committee, apparently on the grounds that it is no worse a crime to beat up elderly persons who can't defend themselves than it is to pick on someone in one's own size and age group. Or, as some supporters of the bill bitterly implied, perhaps COMPLIMENTS OF SILV IER CREEK CATTLE CO. 486-3960 2135 FRES'NO ST. FRESNO 37 the members of that particular committee felt that no form of assault should be considered a crime. We may wonder how, in a state and nation of government by and for the people, such obvious and glaring disregard for the welfare and safe­ ty of a particularly vulnerable segment of our society could occur. In order to help us under­ stand, perhaps a brief refresher course in basic political science would be helpful. The princi­ ple of representative government is that we, as citizens of a community, district, city, county, or state, elect persons to represent us, and to look out for our interests, in the various levels of the legislature. As nearly as is practical, each legislator is supposed to represent the same number of citizens as does each of his colleagues in the same body, be it federal, state, or local. Theoretically, then, each of us has the same degree of control and influence as any other citizen in the enactment of laws, and other government functions which are the responsibility of the legislative branch. The most significant exception is the United States Senate, where each of the two senators from each state represents the state as a whole, rather than a certain number of citizens or a particular area of the state. Even in the Senate there's a theoretical equality of a different type, in that each state is supposed to have the same degree of influence as any other state. Because we all have equal influence, then, if a majority of us want a law enacted or repealed, we have only to make our wishes known to our elected representatives, and it will be done. Any citizen who thinks the process is that simple, and that he automatically has as much voice in government as any other citizen, is living in a dream world.

There are two basic reasons for this unfor­ tunate situation: the committee system and the seniority system. All proposed bills, at least in state and federal legislative houses, before being submitted to the membership for consid­ eration, must be approved by a committee established to specialize in the type of legisla­ tion concerned. There's a committee to handle virtually any type of bill likely to be introduced, and the whole process is controlled by rigid rules established by a Rules Commit­ tee. Committees, particularly the most prestigious, although officially bi-partisan, are usually dominated and controlled by the party which happens to be in the majority in the body concerned. A large committee may be divided into several subcommittees, each responsible for some particular phase of the type of legisla­ tion handled by the committee as a whole. After party affiliation, the most vital consider­ ation in choosing committee and subcommittee chairmen is usually seniority. In other words, what all this means is that four or five persons, if they comprise a majority of a committee considering a proposed bill, can effectively prevent it from becoming law, even if they know it would pass with little opposition if placed on the floor for a vote. And since a committee chairman usually has enough' influence over the majority of his committee to swing votes his way, for all practical purposes, the future of a bill may rest in the hands of a:nd be decided according to the political philoso­ phy or whims of one person. That is obviously not true equality in representation. With such a complex procedure to adhere to, it is often difficult, ifnot impossible, for a legis­ lator low in seniority, particularly ifhe is ofthe minority party, to present a bill and get it passed. If he tries and fails, his constituents may feel they are not being adequately repre­ sented, and they may be right. But there's not much they can immediately do about it. Both systems, comrn.ittee and seniority, are Jirmly entrenched, and together they form a virtually invincible force in the legislative process. BROWN BROS. ADJUSTORS Don Boyce, Manager 255 No. Fulton Day & Night Ph. 268-5044 Unfortunately, there is no ready and practical remedy for the situation, and it is not the purpose or the intent of this article to pro­ pose one. Rather, we only wish to suggest that all citizens pay more attention to the legislative process, so they can better understand why getting effective legislation passed, or getting bad legislation changed or repealed, is often so difficult. Government has become so big and complex that the committee system is no doubt a neces­ sary evil of representative government. Ifeach legislator could write as many bills as he liked, and present them to his colleagues for consider­ ation and vote without their first goi ng through some type of screening process, the sheer volume of proposed legislation would be so overwhelming as to create absolute chaos in government. So we're stuck with committee rule until some political genius devises a more practical substitute, which isn't likely to happen soon. Nor is the seniority system all bad. Few bills are passed in their original form; rather, the end result is usually a compromise. In order to gain support for his pet bill, a legislator may have to agree to support a bill authored by the legislator whose support he is soliciting. Per­ haps neither of them can in good conscience, or for political considerations, support the other's bill as it was written, so each will modify his somewhat. In such an atmosphere of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours," the legislator who has been around the longest naturally has the most influence and power, for he knows more about the system itself, and the strengths and weaknesses of his colleagues. This can be good, or bad, depending on the integrity and ability of the legislator. If he's a good representative of the people, sincerely dedicated to the interests of his constituents and to the welfare of society, seniority will enable him to wield more influence toward doing a better job. If he's dishonest, incompe­ tent, or indifferent, the more seniority he has the more power he will have to further his own interests and to compound his malfeasance.

This is not necessarily true. Automatically assuming a legislator has done all he can for us after a couple of terms, and that it's time for him to step aside and give someone with fresh ideas a chance, may be a big mistake. N o~ matter how good those fresh ideas are, our new representative may not get a chance to put them into effect until he's been in office so long they will no longer be either fresh or pertinent. Instead, we should carefully observe the voting records and overall performance of each of our elected representatives at all levels of government. If one is doing an effective job, let's leave him in office as long as he continues to do so, for the more seniority he attains, the better he can serve us. On the other hand, if one is performing poorly, let's get rid of him at the first opportunity, for the longer he stays in office, the more power he will have to hurt us. Fortunately, there is considerable cause for optimism in the California law enforcement situation for the coming year. The Assembly Criminal Justice Committee, not only last year bu t for many years regarded as a bottleneck for effective legislation intended to help law enforcement and hinder the criminal, has been increased from six to nine members. This will provide somewhat broader representation, and will favorably change the number of adverse votes required to kill a piece of legislation. In addition, Fresno Assemblyman Kenneth Maddy, well known as a strong proponent of law and order, hac;; been appointed chairman. Hopefully, these changes will result in a much more favorable legislative situation than law enforcement has enjoyed in a long time, and will benefit everyone in the state except the criminal and his friends. But Ken Maddy and those on the committee who agree with his philosophy can't do the job alone. They will need all the help they can get, in the form of vocal and written expressions of public support.\ 41 Coroner Bureau G. SCHOONMAKER Sergeant I J. BOWEN A. MARONEY G . PIMENTEL -'r!! 1 ... S.

Some experts in human behavior claim it has merit as a deterrent to violent crime; others hold to the theory it may actually encourage some to commit crimes where death is the penalty, by providing instant notoriety for those who feel the need for such attention, and-by giving the criminal with suicidal tendencies an opportu­ nity to have the state do for him what he may lack the nerve to do for himself.

We therefore shan not pre­ sume to settle the question in this publication by unqualifiedly taking sides either for or against the death penalty. There are, however, certain observations we'd like to make on the subject. Ifwe're to have the death penalty, let's have it handled in a much different manner than has been the custom for as long as most of us can GENE RICHAROS PAVING CO.

The quick and harsh justice of the old west, where a horse thief caught in the act was very quickly hanged to the most conven­ ient tree limb, may have denied the accused due process of law, failed to take into account mitigating circumstances, and no doubt resulted in an occasional execution of an inno­ cent man. But at least it didn't make a pro­ longed circus of the event by dragging it out for months or years and giving every newspaper in the nation a chance to fill column after column with morbid details of his reaction to his pend­ ing execution, his tearful visits with relatives, stories from former classmates and teachers about his childhood, the menu of his last meal, and what he said just before the noose tight­ ened about his neck. No literary agent had a chance to become wealthy via a frantic last­ minute purchase of the rights to his life story, to be turned into books or movies that would glamorize him and make him a folk hero. The only reason Jesse James, Billy the Kid, and others of that ilk and eradid become heroes of a sort was because they were so successful in evading capture and conviction, and had time to establish themselves as legends by their misdeeds. Had they been caught and hanged early in their criminal careers, in the no­ nonsense fashion so popular at the time, none of us would ever have heard of them. We don't, of course, recommend a return to frontier justice. But there's certainly room for improvement in the way the execution of crim­ inals is handled now. Let's begin by specifying, simply and clearly, certain crimes and condi­ tions for which death is the penalty. Instead of enumerating requirements for pronouncement of the death penalty, as the law recently de­ clared unconstitutional does, let's list mitiga­ ting circumstances which, if found by judge or jury, will permit a lesser penalty. The judge or jury should be required to explain such a find­ ing. Once the sentence is pronounced, the date of execution should be set, allowing sufficient time for the Supreme Court of the state to re­ view the case. That body should review it, im­ mediately and thoroughly, for the sole purpose ANDY'S OWL CLUB 721 Fulton 237-0584 CALWA REXALL PHARMACY Prescription Specialists Quality Rexall Products 3978 E.

Once the judg­ ment has been affirmed, the defendant should have one opportunity to appeal to the SupremeI Court of the United States. Should that body affirm the conviction and judgment, or refuse to hear the appeal, no other appeal should be permitted. There should be no opportunity for a governor to stay the execution for political purposes, or for a publicity-hungry judge to issue a stay on some minute and obscure tech­ nicality of law which has no bearing whatso­ ever on guilt, innocence, or justificaiton of the judgment. The execution should then be carried out in as humane a manner as can be devised, and with as little fanfare as possible. We can't, of course, permit it to be done without the full knowledge of the news media, nor can we re­ strict or censor what they decide to write or say about it. Secret executions pave the way to totalitarianism, and censorship is a violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution. But we can prohibit press interviews with the condemned, and we can bar television cam­ eras from the execution site before, during and after the execution. We can restrict visitors after judgment is pronounced to the criminals' attorney, his immediate family, a clergyman if he so requests, and anyone else who has agenu­ ine need to see him, and is so authorized by the . court or the prison superintendent. We can enact a law prohibiting a condemned person from entering into a civil contract, thus dis­ couraging the vultures who would profit from his life of crime and the ultimate penalty by writing or making movies about it. In other words, if it is decided that capital punishment is a necessary evil of our society, and we can't find an acceptable substitute, then let's carry it out in such a way that we don't feel degraded and guilty afterward. Let's recog­ nize it as a disagreeable job that must be done, and go ahead and do it with grace and dignity. On the other hand, if we're not to have capi­ tal punishment" let's find an effective and fool­ proof substitute that will just as certainly keep the dangerous criminal from ever having an 45 opportunity to repeat his crime. The only possi­ ble alternative would be life imprisonment without possibility of parole, meaning exactly that. The present law makes such a provision, but it doesn't specify housing or treatment sub­ stantially different from that provided for inmates serving less than life sentences. As long as they're housed together and treated identically, there's always the possibility, no matter how heinous the crime, that the sentence will be changed, or commuted to time served, and life imprisonment without possi­ bility of parole will become an empty phrase. Perhaps we should build a separate prison to house only those sentenced to life without possi­ bility of parole. Such inmates would be declared civilly dead, stripped of all rights except the right to live without harassment or mistreatment. They'd be given ample food, adequate living quarters, and opportunity for physical exercise and to work at useful tasks. But their daily routine would be strictly regi­ mented. They'd have no social worker to talk to and tell them they weren't really to blame for their crimes; no rehabilitation programs; none of the privileges or amenities available to the regular prison inmate. In other words, they would simply do time until they die. Itwould be a problem to ensure that such a prison would be operated without abuses. However, with a sys­ tem of frequent inspections, including private and confidential interviews of inmates, by a .. commission responsible directly to the state Supreme Court, it would be possible.

Not when compared to the way inmates of such institutions would have been convicted of treating others. A waste of human life? Warehousing instead of treating? A fate worse than death? Perhaps so. But we must remember this would be a sentence given only to those who, in a more harsh and realistic age, would be considered deserving of death, but which we, in our more enlightened society, can't feel comfortable about imposing on a fellow human being. The only other alternative is to continue our policy of returning psychopathic killers to society, and thus giving them a chance to repeat their crimes.

While we in law enforcement don't always like their rulings, we can usually accept without rancor those which are detrimental to our cases, for we know they are made in a sin­ cere effort to further the cause of justice. Not all communities are so fortunate. In Southern California a few months ago a police officer on patrol noticed an apartment door slightly ajar, and upon closer examination saw it had been pried open. Looking through the window he saw a man inside the apartment, removing items of jewelry from a dresser and Cook's Radio Telephone Service AND DIRECT DIAL POCKET PAGING SERVICE Rental, Sales & Service of Mobile Telephone Equipment FRESNO MOBILE RADIO INC. A COOK'S COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE 160 NORTH BROADWAY -FRESNO Phone 237-1111 placing them in a bag. He rushed in, identified himself, and placed the apparent burglar under arrest, taking the jewelry to be used as evidence. The defendant protested in court that the officer had failed to knock and identify himself before entering; that entering unannounced and identifying himself only after he was in­ side the apartment rendered his subsequent actions illegal. Now who would listen to and agree with such a ridiculous argument? The judge, that's who. There was no denial that the door had been forced and entry made, nor that the defendant ~~~~.g~", --ISPECIALTIES I~­ ALL TYPES OF ASPHALT PAVING Free Estimates GENERAL ENGINEERING CONTRACTORS COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL RESIDENTIAL 3501 W. NIELSEN 486-3920 FRESNO 61 was the one who had made entry. Presumably there'd been adequate testimony from the resi­ dent of the apartment to establish that the defendant had no right to be there or to take the jewelry; otherwise there'd have been no case and no point in raising the issue regarding the manner in which the arrest was made. What conclusions could a reasonable person draw, then, but that the defendant was a burglar caught in the act? Nevertheless, the judge held that because the officer had failed to knock and identify himself before entering, he'd made an illegal entry and arrest, and therefore the jewelry taken from the defendant could not be used as evidence to prove the intent to commit theft. Where is either the logic or the justice of that ruling? If the officer had observed the social amenities of knocking and announcing his intention before entering, would the burglar have been equally polite, and waited to greet him in a friendly fashion? The answer is obvi­ ous. Either he'd have fled out another door or window, or perhaps would have waited with a drawn gun to greet the officer with a blast of gunfire. It's difficult for a layman to imagine what theory of law the judge relied on for his ruling. Apparently he felt the burglar, being inside a private residence, was entitled to the protec­ tion of the principle "a man's home is his castle," even though it was someone else's castle and he had entered it illegally. Or perhaps he resented the fact the officer hadn't given the felon a sporting chance to escape, like the hunter who shoots a pheasant while it's still on the ground instead of waiting till it's in the air. Vying in absurdity with that ruling is a somewhat recent interpretation of a technical­ ity in the law pertaining to a homeowner's lia­ bility. It was ruled thata burglar who trips on a loose carpet in a home he has broken into, and falls and injures himself, has a right to sue the homeowner for damages. It seems incredible that anyone could consider that as justice, or think it was the intent of the Legislature when the law was enacted. We can go along with the general theory of law on which that decision was based. It provides that fQ,.erely because a person is on the premises without permission, he is not deprived of all protection of law, and that the law requiring a homeowner to main­ 62 CERTIFICATE INVESTMENT FUND We Pay 7% Interest On One Year Term Certificates. $250.00 Minimum Amount 50 N.

If applied to cover a child who goes into a neighbor's yard to recover a ball thrown over the fence, and falls into an open trench the homeowner had left unmarked; or to someone taking a short cut across the front lawn and tripping over a garden tool carelessly left lying on the ground; perhaps the homeowner should be held liable. But to stretch that theory to cover a burglar seems a far cry from justice. These are typical of the rulings which have subjected the courts to severe criticism in recent years, and have caused them to be given perhaps more than their share of the blame for the rising crime rate. The majority of our judges, from the rural justices of the peace to the Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, are basically honest and sincere men and women who are doing their best to see that justice is administered fairly and impartially, and that laws are interpreted accurately and equitably. Just as in any other field of endeavor, there are among judges the very able and the very inept, varying degrees of intelligence and education, and political and social philosophies ranging from the ultra­ conservative to the extremely liberal. Even the best of them are subject to error on occasion, but in most instances it's an honest mistake in which the jurist actually thinks he is acting in the most fair and just manner possible under the law. But just as a few bad cops can give all law enforcement a bad name, so can a few bad judges tarnish the reputation of the judicial system. What is the reason for decisions so obviously improper as those cited? There appear to be several explanations for their popping up now and then. In some instances it appears the judge merely wishes to make a name for himself; that it tickles his ego to be known as the judge who made an extremely controver­ sial decision, even if he knows that decision will likely be reversed by a higher court. Others make such decisions in good faith, having developed such an obsession for the techni­ calities of law that they consider it their duty to read into any given segment of legislation the most bizarre meaning possible, instead of objectively trying to decide what the Legis­2708 E. Jensen Ave. Fresno , I lature intended it to mean, or which applica­ 63 tion would most nearly ensure justice for those concerned. Still others let their own personal philosophies and prejudices override their concern for legislative intent. This is permitted to happen and keep hap­ pening because of the awe and near reverence in which judges are generally held. The average citizeil's only contact with a judge is likely to be when he goes to traffic court in response to a citation. Chances are he's guilty, for most traffic violators are caught in the act, so he doesn't expect any sympathy from the court. Even if he's innocent, he may prefer to pay the fine rather than to risk incurring the wrath of the imposing figure in the black robe by asking for a hearing or a trial. The general impression is that the judge is the law. When a judge obviously errs, it's like Mark Twain's weather. Everyone talks about it, but nobody does anything. In most such instances the general reaction is that whatever the judge says must be right, for he's the law, and even if it isn't, there isn't anything that can be done about it. But let's analyze the situation. The judge is not the law, nor does he have any divine or superhuman power or authority or wisdom. He's a human being just like the restofus. Any power or authority he has is granted to him by the law. His wisdom is gained by study and experience in the fields of law and social prob­ lems and human affairs. Laws are made by the people; therefore, because the judge's position exists by a provision of law, he is a public servant, as much as the mail carrier, the police officer, or the dog catcher. He's someone we've hired to do for us a job we can't all do for our­ selves. That job is to interpret laws that are enacted by the various legislative bodies, or established by the state or federal constitu­ tions. And something can be done if he doesn't do his job properly, just as the mail carrier and the police officer and the dog catcher can be held responsible for their errors and omissions. But before we start talking about firing a judge, or otherwise holding him responsible for his actions, we must be sure he is at fault. Some legislation is so sloppily written that it's mean­ ing is unclear, or it clearly says something the lawmakers probably didn't intend it to say, but because of the positive way it is worded the court has no choice but to interpret it literally.

When that is the case, our recourse is to put pressure on the Legislature to clarify or change the law, rather than to blame the judge for interpreting it exactly as it was written. But suppose we do have a situation where the judge is obviously guilty of a flagrant misinter­ pretation or misapplication of the law? What can we do about it? All public servants, including judges, are subject to removal from office; however, with judges it is a somewhat difficult procedure. A more practical method for ensuring capable performance on the bench is to pay more attention and wield more in­ fluence in the selection and appointment of judges. Many people don't realize that many judgeships are elective posts, among them Municipal and Superior Court posts in Cali­ fornia. However, such a post is seldom filled by election, at least in this state. Rather, a vacancy created either by the establishment of a new judgeship, or by the death, retirement, or resignation of an incumbent, usually occurs, either by plan or coincidence, before the end of a term, and the governor appoints someone to the job. Although the appointment is only for the unexpired portion of the term, it is usually an appointment for life, or for as tong as the appointee wants the job. Seldom does anyone run against an incumbent Municipal or Superior Court judge. It isn't that noone wants the job, or that it's unattractive because a good attorney can make more money in private practice, although the latter may be true. When there's a vacancy to be filled byappoint-· ment, attorneys who may have to take a sub­ stantial cut in income eagerly seek the position. Before we can reduce the I ikelihood of a judge's making a capricious decision, then, we must change the situation that permits him to operate arbitrarily, subjectively, and with virtual immunity from public opinion and little regard for the spirit of the law. We must quit meekly accepting every asinine decision a judge makes as divine edict. Public opinion, properly applied, is a powerful weapon. If we object strongly enough when bad decisions are made, judges will be a lot less likely to make them. If the judge holds an elective post, we must make it clear ~to him his indiscretion will be remembered at election time, and wemustfind some way to encourage qualified persons to 65 seek judgeships through the elective process. Perhaps the reason they are reluctant to do so is that, in the absence of any controversy, voters tend to vote for the incumbent. If we stir up a bit of controversy when it is in order, and let a potential candidate know we are displeased with the incumbent, he'll be more likely to run against him. Even judges who are serving in non-elective posts are not immune from the consequences of public opinion. Except for the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, who are already at the top of the judicial ladder, mostof them no doubt aspire to higher posts. A judge who has made some unpopular decisions can find it difficult to have a higher court appoint­ ment confirmed. A perfect example is an attempt by former President Nixon to appoint to the Supreme Court a judge with a question­ able background. So much adverse publicity was generated the Senate didn't dare confirm the nomination. At the time of writing Governor Brown has just announced an appointment which will be very controversial; a woman lawyer without lower court experience to the post of Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court. The rumor that she would be appointed to the posi­ tion has been circulated throughout the state for several weeks. Whether the appointment will be good or bad remains to be seen. The point is that now that it has been officially announced, it may be too late for those who dis­ approve of it to take any effective action. Had ;, they very emphatically made their feelings known when the rumors first started, in such a manner as to make the Governor feel such an appointment would be a definite political liability, perhaps it wouldn't have been made. But as long as we sit apathetically by and accept any judge who has enough political clout to wangle an appointment, and then swallow without objection any decision he makes, no matter how obviously wrong it is, we can't complain about the quality of justice dispensed by our courts.

McKinley Fresno, California 93703 74 COMMON SENSE Gun Control CO NSTITUTIONALITY The second amendment to the Constitution of the United States declares, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."That is all the doc­ ument has to say about gun control and the right to bear arms. Noone knows exactly what the authors had in mind when they wrote that rather broad statement. However, because of the reference to a militia, and because at that time there was considerable controversy re­ garding the rights and authority of the federal government as opposed to those of the indivi­ dual states, it seems quite likely they merely wished to ensure againstfederal confiscation of firearms in the possession of the militia of an individual state, or against prohibition of pos­ session by private citizens of the type of arms suitable for use in a militia organization. However, many read only the second clause, and interpret it as a bar to any type or degreeof firearms regulation or control. Courts long ago established the principle that federal, state, and local governments may enact laws to pro­ hibit outright the possession of certain types of firearms by private citizens; restrict thesaleof other types; and specify the manner or circum­ stances under which firearms may be carried or displayed. Yet, each time someone suggests a law requiring registration of guns, or im­ posing more stringent restrictions on their sale, possession, or use, a hue and cry goes up from various citizens and organizations. Their complaint is always the same, "They're trying to take away our constitutional right to keep and bear arms." POTENTIAL BENEFIT What about gun control laws? Would they be feasible'? Could they be enforced'? Would they reduce violent crime? The answers, of course, must be qualified, and depend on the type of control to be im­ posed. The proposal that all handguns be con­ fiscated or surrendered, and that ownership by private citizens be prohibited, is probably too extreme to be practical. It it were possible to start from scratch, with no one owning a gun, and enact such a law, with stiff penalties both for the person caught with a handgun and the person who furnished it to him, then such a pro­ posal might have considerable merit. It would not completely stop the private ownership of guns, but it would serve to hold it to a mini­ mum. However, forcing the surrender of the millions of handguns already in public posses­ sion would be virtually impossible without repealing all the constitutional safeguards against search and seizure. Such a law would be obeyed only by the law-abiding citizen, who isn't likely to cause any trouble with his gun anyway, and would prove the truth of the bumper sticker axiom, "When guns are out­ lawed, only outlaws will have guns." The an­ swer, then, to all three questions, is "No." Con­ fiscation or forced surrender would not be feas­ ible, for it couldn't be enforced, and it wouldn't lessen violent crimes to any appreciable de­ gree, for all those inclined to violent crime would still have guns. Furthermore, it would no doubt lead to con­ ditions similar to those resulting 50 years ago from the prohibition of the sale or possession of alcoholic beverages. A black market would 75 make wealthy those willing to take the risk of being caught dealing in guns. Bribery and cor­ ruption would be rampant. The market would be flooded, even more so than now, with the cheap, undependable, and doubly dangerous pistols known as Saturday night specials (re­ volvers of foreign manufacture, made of cheap materials and with poor workmanship, avail­ able at a fraction of the cost of a gun manufac­ tured by a reputable domestic firm, and so und p ndable as to be extremely dangerous to handle, even if there is no intent or attempt to fire them). However, if controls were imposed which would make guns I S8 readily available to those who have no legitimate need for them, make it easier to keep track of transfers of ownership, and establish safety and quality standards that would eliminate the Saturday night special from the market, the role of guns in the overall crime situation would possibly be significantly lessened. A registration system similar to that now in effect for automobiles would be the most practical. Such a system would not work miracles. A gun is much easier to hide, and thus more sus­ ceptible to illicit transportation and transfer than an automobile. Therefore a compulsory registration system would not be as effective, particularly for those guns already in the pos­ session of private citizens. As with a require­ ment for surrender, only law-abiding people would comply. No doubt a black market in guns would flourish, though probab!~' not to the same extent as if guns were banned altogether. It would have no appreciable effect on the num­ ber of planned robberies and assaults involving firearms, for such crimes are usually commit­ ted with stolen guns, except that if fewer citizens owned guns, there would be fewer op­ portunities for criminals to steal them. However, such a system would make it easier to keep track of sales and transfers in the fut­ ure. It could discourage a burglar or thieffrom being armed in the commission of a crime, and thus lessen the chances of his shooting someone who surprises him in the act, providing there is a sufficiently strong and mandatory additional penalty for being armed while committing a JIMMIE'S MARKET Groceries * Wine * Beer 2082 W.

And it could have a deterrent effect on the impulsive crime with a gun, by making it more difficult for the person seeking a gun while in a fit of temper to find someone willing to risk the penalty for furnishing him one. But no degree of gun control will, by itself, eliminate, or even substantially reduce, the in­ cidence of gun-related crimes. There are sim­ ply too many guns already in existence, and there is no practical way of gathering and dis­ posing of them. CARRYING GUNS Another frequent misinterpretation of the Constitution's reference to arms is that it pro­ vides an inalienable right to carry a gun, con­ cealed or in plain view, on the person. The pro­ ponents of that view regard the law requiring a license to carry a concealed weapon as an in­ fringement of that imagined right, or claim the Constitutional provision makes it mandatory that a license be issued to any citizen who makes application. Contrary to that theory, the law of Califor­ nia, which has been upheld by the courts, states that any person who car '~s a firearm con­ cealed on his person or in his automobile, with­ out being duly licensed, is guilty of acrime, and that not every citizen is automatically entitled to a license. It provides that certain persons, such as professional peace officers, are exempt from the rule, and states that a sheriff or chief of police may, upon proof that the applicant is of good moral character, and if a good cause exists, issue to a citizen a license to carry a concealed weapon. Note that the word "may" is used, making issuance of a license permissive, and not man­ datory. Furthermore, the law provides no standards for determining either good cause or good moral character; that is left to the discre­ tion of the official to whom application is made. Sheriffs and chiefs of police throughout the state vary widely in their philosophy and prac­ tice regarding issuance of such licenses. All that is, or should be, somewhat beside the point. The most important question for a citizen seeking to carry arms should not be, "Can I legally do so?" but "Is it wis2 for me todo 77 so?" There's a distinct possibility, perhaps even a probability, that in most instances the aver­ age citizen will place himself in greater danger by being armed than he would be if unarmed. He probably isn't psychologically capable of using a gun in the "shoot first and ask ques­ tions later" tradition of Western movies. Even if he were, there are strict legal standards per­ taining to the use of firearms; he knows that even though he will be legally innocent until proven guilty if he kills someone, as a practical matter it may be up to him to prove that his action was justified. While he is debating with himself whether or not he should use his gun, it may be taken away from him and used on him. Statistics show that a very high percentage of assault and murder victims furnish the wea­ pon used to injure or kill them in just such a manner. In this community, the reason most fre­ quently given for seeking a license to carry a concealed weapon is that the applicant has a business which requires him to carry large sums of money, usually to or from the bank. In spite of the frequency with which small busi­ nesses such as convenience markets and liquor stores are robbed, very seldom in this com­ munity do we have a robbery where a citizen is accosted while traveling in a routine manner between his place of business and a bank. Street robberies usually occur only after the victim has advertised the fact that he is carry­ ing a large sum of money, by flashing his roll in a bar, or bragging about it. A little discretion about making banking practices known, and a variation in the time and the route taken to or from the bank, are much better safeguards against robbery than carrying a gun. Even if a businessman with a bag of money should be held up enroute to the bank, he will almost certainly be in less danger if he complies with the robber's demand than if he resists. That way, he loses only his money; if he resists, he may also lose his life. No matter how proficient he is with a gun, anyone who thinks he has a chance against a robber with a gun already aimed at him is doing some dangerous dream­ mg.

Fresno a" i'(~"•• I The same principle applies to the housewife who feels she should have a gun in her purse when driving home from the P.T.A. meeting at night; the workman whose job requires that he go alone into neighborhoods with a high crime rate; and the elderly person who feels he must be armed while taking his daily walk because he isn't physically capable of defending himself in any other way. In each instance, the gun may lend a false sense of security, and increase the danger rather than alleviate it. We agree that the streets and other public places are not as safe as they should be. But we don't think the answer to the problem is for private citizens to arm themselves. GUNS IN THE HOME In California there is no law against keeping firearms in the home. Many citizens therefore keep at least one gun somewhere on the prem­ ises, feeling it provides protection against burglars and other intruders. Statistics and common sense cast strong doubt on the validity of that theory. I n the first place, if the gun is kept in a place where it can't be found by a curious child, it's not going to be readily available for use if the need should arise. If it is kept in a location where it can be grabbed and fired instantly, there are several dangers. The children of the household may be well trained, and perhap's can be depended upon to leave it alone. But they may occasionally have visitors who aren't so well trained. Guns are fascinating to children; even a very well trained child may not be able to resist the temptation to show off to a play­ mate by proving that Daddy has a gun just like Kojak's. Another danger is that using a gun to resist a burglar at home, like resisting a robber on the street, may create more danger than it elimin­ ates. Usually, if you're awakened by a burglar in your home. the best way to cope with the sit­ uation is to feign sleep. let him take what he came for, and then call the police. Fumbling in the drawer ofia bedside table or under the mat­ tress for a gun may startle the burglar into using his gun. I 79 There have also been instances where sleep­ befuddled persons have grabbed guns and fatally shot members of their own families walking about the house, thinking they were intruders. Who wants to risk having to live with the memory of that kind of mistake? In short, our position is that guns are made primarily for one purpose: to kill. Handguns, being inappropriate for hunting, are made to kill people. Any practical, enforceable law that may help reduce violent crime by makingguns less readily available to the criminal has our support. Furthermore, we feel that, because hand­ guns are for killing people, no citizen should have a handgun, either on his person or in his home, unless he is well trained in the use of a gun, would be able to immediately recognize a situation where such drastic action would be justified and necessary, and is certain he would be psychologically capable of taking that ac­ tion if he should consider it necessary.

The acute shortage of snow is illustrated by this shot of the campsite at the annual winter training exercise at Huntington Lake. In pre­ vious years it has been necessary to use a snow plow to clear an area for the campsite. Senior Criminologist AI Flores uses a video tape camera to record the findings and progress of a homicide investigation -a much more reliable device than a detective's memory and notebook. Instead of the usual practice of conducting the training exercise near the campsite, this year it was necessary to climb al most to the summit of Kaiser Pass to find enough snow. Sheriff MCKinney demonstrates his skill with a spatula at the annual Fresno County Peace Officers Association benefit pancake breakfast. 82 COMMON SENSE Jail Conditions There has been a great deal of publicity in recent years about jail conditions, both locally and nationally. Organizations such as the National Lawyers Guild, the American Civil Liberties Union, and other localized groups too numerous to mention would have us, the pub­ lic, believe that all local jails are modern coun­ terparts of the medieval torture chamber; that all jail administrators are unfeeling bureau­ crats who lie awake nights devising new ways to deprive inmates of their rights; that all jail officers are sadists who derive their keenest pleasure from brutal treatment of their charg­ es; and that all jail purchasing agents and cooks are engaged in a conspiracy to starve or poison those in custody. We'll be the first to agree that the trend to­ ward jail reform in the past two decades was sorely needed, and that the problem still has not been completely solved. We are even wil­ ling to agree that the preceding paragraph may even be not too farfetched in describing the manner in which jails in a few communities are still operated. HO\,vever, we resent the blanket condemnation and indictment of all jails and their officials simply because there CONSOLIDATED MILLING CO. 4106 So.

CENTRAL FRESNO 83 may still be a few which are operated well below acceptable standards. It is our contention that most law enforce­ ment officials and personnel are interested in doing their jobs humanely, and in a manner that is compatible with both the interests of society and the rights and welfare of the in­ mate. We further contend that they will contin­ ue to work toward that goal. without the prodding and legal manuevers of those who, professing concern for inmate welfare but ac­ tually seeking to impair the cause of law and order and justice, seek to tell them how to do their jobs. The remainder of this article deals with spe­ cific issues that are frequently raised when­ ever jail conditions are discussed; habitual gripes of inmates that have been eagerly seized by self-appointed experts in jail operation and presented as concrete proof that all jail inmates are mistreated. As a countermeasure to such propaganda, we present the facts. FOOD No doubt the most common gripe among jail inmates concerns the food. Almost invariably they \vill claim the quality is so poor as to make it virtually inedible, or the quantity not suffici­ ent to sustain health, or the menu so repetitious that the appetite is seriously impaired. Twenty years ago that gripe, particularly as it pertains to lack of variety, would probably have been justified in almost any jail in the nation. Typ­ ical fare then consisted of two meals per day; cereal or hotcakes for breakfast, and beans or stew in the afternoon. The entree would be ac­ companied by a few slices of stale bread, per­ haps a cooked vegetable, and a wilted salad of lettuce or cabbage. In recent years, however, California has en­ acted a minimum jail standards law which requires, among other benefits for inmates, that a balanced diet be served. Similar policies are now in effect in most other states. The typi­ cal diet of a jail inmate now includes fresh meat, milk, eggs, poultry, fish, and cheese, and a variety of both fresh and cooked vegetables and fruit. It isn't gourmet fare, of course.

WASTE SYSTEMS DIVISION We specialize in RESIDENTIAL· INDUSTRIAL. COMMERCIAL. INSTITUTIONAL Waste Problems 486-1551 jail inmate luxury food items he can't afford to provide for his own family. Jail food compares favorably in quality with that served at the family table of the average working man, and each serving is probably more generous. It is served in metal trays and cups instead of china and glasses, for obvious reasons. A piece of broken china or a sliver of glass would make an excellent weapon. Nor will the inmate find his breakfast tray decorated with a sprig of pars­ ley or a fancy sl ice of orange. J ai I cooks don't have time to be artistic. But the food is plenti­ ful and palatable, and it would be quite accur­ ate to say that many jail inmates eat better while in custody than at home. Why, then, is there so much griping? For the same reason virtually all military trainees gripe about their chow. They have no choice in what is to be served, so that fact in itself cre­ ates a negative attitude. The real reason, however, lies deeper than that. The G.l., particularly if he was drafted or volunteered to avoid the draft, is required to spend practically all his time in an activity not of his choosing. He is deprived of an ordinary social life, including normal outlets for sexual tension; his movements are severely restricted and his daily routine tightly regimented; he is stripped of his identity and his dignity; his pri­ vacy is constantly being invaded. Eating, then, is the only important sensual pleasure left for· him to enjoy on a regular basis. It assumes an extraordinary importance in his life; he may seem to live just for the raw animal pleasure of chewing, tasting, and swallowing food. Naturally, with such great expectation and anticipation of the pleasure to be derived from the next meal, it would be almost impossible to serve meals that wouldn't be disappointing. He may thoroughly enjoy the meal while he's eating it. But the moment he finishes, the joy of the experience is gone. He suffers from a post­ mealtime depression because the ecstasy has been so short-lived; he feels cheated. Because the meal didn't fulfill his expectations, he de­ cides the food \-vas no good, so he gripes about it. If the relatively unconfining routine of a mil­ itary trainee can cause him to place such emphasis and value on food and to be so disil­ 85 lusioned when his expectations aren't met, think what effect the routine of a jail inmate can have. Everything said about the G.I.'s re­ stricted life style can be applied to him, to a much greater degree. And that's the main reason jail inmates complain about their food. If they were permitted to order from the menu of the best restaurant in town, they would still complain, for it really isn't the food they're complaining about. It's the situation. SANITATION Another complaint frequently heard is that jails are unsanitary; or, more explicitly, filthy. Actually, this gripe is seldom voiced by the in­ mate without some encouragement from an outsider, for he would find it difficult to make such a complaint with a straight face. He knows why the jail is filthy. We agree wholeheartedly that inmost cases the word "filthy" is not only justified, but may even be an understatement. There's a distinc­ tive odor about even the most orderly jail that no amount of scrubbing, disinfectant, or room I deodorizer will completely eradicate. It's not due to the commonly accepted premise that most inmates are from the lower classes of soc­ iety, and don't bathe as frequently as they should. The same situation would probably ex­ ist in a jail housing only the so-called white collar criminal. There is plenty of trustee labor available in most jails to maintain in asanitary condition the offices, the kitchen, and other areas which are isolated from inmate living quarters. It is in the cellblocks themselves that the problem exists in an insoluble state. It's not that either jail management or oper­ ations personnel want the cell blocks to be unclean. They would much prefer that they be spotless, for they have to smell the filth, too. But there's not much they can do about it as long as the inmates don't seem to mind.

Usually. a half-hearted effort is made to sweep and mop the floor. but it doesn't remain in that condition very long. They immediately begin to litter the floor they've just cleaned. not only of their own quar­ ters. but of every square foot of hallway within throwing or spitting distance, with cigarette butts, candy wrappers. toilet paper, torn books and magazaines. and spittle. Within an hour it is difficult to imagine that the floor was ever clean. Later in the day when the filthy condi­ tion is at its peak. if a visitor not familiar with the situation should come through. he natur­ ally would receive a very negative impression of jail sanitary standards and procedures. The floors aren't the on Iy unsanitary parts of acellblock. Toilets frequently overflow; not be­ cause the plumbing is of poor quality 01' is improperly maintained. Inmates take great delight in flushing all sorts of foreign objects down the drain, sometimes to avoid being caught with contraband. sometimes for no ap­ parent reason other than plain vandalism.

When a cellblock is painted. new graffiti begin to appeal' before the paint is dry. One's first impression, in seeing or hearingof the situation. is that the typical jail inmate en­ joys living in a filthy environment. Veteranjail officers, however, feel there's another explana­ tion. They say it s the inmate's way of striking back at authority_ When he throws garbage on the floor or defaces a wall. he is saying, "You can keep me locked up. You can tell me when to go to bed and '>vhen to get up. You can tell me what to eat, whom I can sec. when I go to court. and when I'll be released. But there's no way you can force me to keep th is place clean." Whether or not this appraisal is accurate. the fact remains that jails arc unsanitary. and probably always will be. The only way to main­ tain them otherwise would be to hire a staff of janitors, plumbers. painters. and other main­ tenance personnel large enough to clean and repair the building and equipment faster than the inmates can soil and damage it.

MEDICAL CARE Medical care, like good food, is a thing that, until a few years ago, was practically non-exis­ tent in many jails, but which has also been up­ graded considerably. Also like food, it is some­ thing for which no degree of improvement would be enough to satisfy the professional jail reformer. Plain human decency requires that an inmate \vho becomes ill or is injured while in custody be provided adequate medical atten­ tion. The minimum standards law in Cali­ fornia includes comprehensive standards for medical care. HO\vever. care actually needed and provided under either the moral 01' legal requirement is usually not the subject of in­ mate complaints. The gripes are heard when a jail physician refuses to treat an inmate for a self-diagnosed and apparently imagined ail­ ment; refuses to certify as an emergency a chronic condition the inmate has had for years without particular concern, but decides no\\" that he is in custody to have treated at public expense: or refuses to order hospitalization for an ailment which can be treated just as well in the jail infirmary. Motivations for insisting on unneeded med­ ical treatment vary. Among them are drug addicts faking illnesses in the hope of getting prescriptions for drugs that will have some real or imagined narcotic effect; others trying to arrange for hospitalization for what they re­ gard as an improvement in environment, or as an opportunity to escape; others who are in­ dulging in self-pity because of their incarcera­ tion, and develop imaginary illnesses because it provides them with some attention, and sick call is a break in the routine. Whatever the cause, the jail physician is placed in an untenable position. The ethics and oath of his profession require that he not with­ hold medical treatment from anyone who actually needs it, regardless of the identity or moral character of the patient. At the same time, he has an obligation to the community to avoid waste of public funds by providing or ASHLAN PHARMACY We Deliver Prescription Service Cosmetics -Gifts -Greeting Cards 2620 E.

The astute jail physician becomes quite adept at spotting the malingerer, the attention-seeker, and the inmate who is demanding medical care only for some ulterior motive. Convincing the critics who seek to exploit the jail medical problem of his sincerity is more difficult. PHYSICAL MISTREATMENT The allegation that jail inmates are physical­ ly mistreated is heard so often that jail officers are sometimes reluctant to use even necessary force to defend themselves against actual at­ tack, lest they find themselves explaining their actions to a seemingly skeptical judge or jury. Iftwo or more officers team up to subdue a vio­ lent inmate, they're likely to be accused of unfair tactics. Even supposedly reputable at­ torneys, in preparing claims for damages arising out of 3.lleged officer misconduct, have been known to imply it was unfair of the offic­ ers to "gang up" on an inmate simply because he had started the fight. The situation has be­ come so acute that an inmate has I ittle to lose by attacking an officer. If he wins the fight, chances of his being convicted of an additional charge of assault, or having extra time added to his sentence if he is convicted, are very slim. His personal reputation among his peers is considerably enhanced. If he loses, he merely has to scream officer brutality, and he won't have any trouble finding an attorney eager to press his claim for damages or, in some juris­ dictions, a judge anxious to believe him. Jail duty is therefore among the most hazardous assignments in the law enforcement profes­ sion. Generally, how valid are such claims? It would be extremely hypocritical for us to state that no officer ever uses a bit more force than is necessary to control a situation, or that one never loses his temper and initiates the vio­ lence. Until jails are staffed by precisely pro­ grammed robots instead of human beings, such incidents w.ill happen occasionally. But they are the exception rather than the rule. The days of the brutal jailer whose inhumane treat­ 89 ment was considered part of the punishment are long gone. In most instances, when an inmate is injured in a fight with officers, he was the attacker, and the injury was inflicted in the course of subduing him, by a type of ac­ tion intended to prevent his injuring an officer, or becoming so violent that more drastic mea­ sures would be necessary. For instance, suppose a person is brought in to be booked, is drunk and belligerent, and during the booking process attacks the officer who is searching him. The safest way to bring the situation under control is for other officers to grab him, subdue him as quickly as possible, and render him incapableoffurthercombatby handcuffs or other restraints.If, in the process, he receives a bump on the head or a few scratches and bruises, that is preferable to what could happen if the situation were han­ dled differently. If other officers. in a false sense of fair play, stand by and allow the officer under attack to resist unaided, either he or the attacker may be more seriously injured. If an attempt is made to substitute reason for force before the attacker is subdued, it may allow the degree of violence to increase to a more crItical level. If the officers retreat from the attacker. that too may encourage him to even greater violence. give him the opportunity to pick up some object to use as a weapon, and thus make it necessary to resort to deadly force to subdue him. The only sensible choice, then, is to meet force with whatever degree of force is neces­ sary to counteract it as quickly and effectively as possible, but no more than is necessary. That is the safe. humane way to handle violent pris­ oners. and is the policy of practically all jails. What about the unprovoked attacks on in­ mates by officers? Or the incidents where some force is in order, bu t the officer uses more force than is necessary? As we have said. such incidents do occasionally occur. but not to the extent that the entire jail system. or even any one institution. should be branded as brutal. Each instance should be judged individually, and the guilty officer punished, not the system or the institution. continued 90 INTERNATIONAL HUT DOG Hamburgers -Hot Dogs Tacos -Soft Drinks 2195 Elm Ave., Fresno 233-0482 BILL CARDWELL'S TEXACO SERVICE TUNE-UPS -BRAKES -TIRES -BATTERIES -ACCESSORIES AIR CONDITIONER SERVICE -WHEEL ALIGNMENT HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT I 2410 N.

Belmont Ave. 268-0503 Fresno VISITING, MAIL, AND CIVIL RIGHTS There have been so many changes in rights and privileges for inmates in recent years that space doesn't permit a detailed discussion of each one. Generally, however, jail administra­ tors are finding it difficult to stay abreast of the trend. About the time they adjust to and learn to live with some court-mandated change, a movement is started for the further lessening of restrictions, or for changing privileges to rights. Most jail administrators will agree that many of the rules in effect a few years ago, regarding what jail inmates could and could not do, were arbitrary, and are now obsolete and without justification. However, they resent forced liberalization which adversely affects security standards, for security must be their chief concern. That's what the jail was estab­ lished for in the first place. A few years ago in a certain California county a group of inmates obtained almost unbelievable privileges by invoking the constitutional principle that a person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty. They claimed they were in custody only because they couldn't afford bail. and that therefore, except for actual freedom, they should be entitled to all the privileges en­ joyed by their counterparts who were free on bail awaiting trial. They found a judge who agreed with them, and he issued orders which gave them virtually unlimited access to the telephone, little restriction on visits, and gen­ erally played havoc with the routine and security of the institution. If this principle should be interpreted liter­ ally and applied to all institutions holding inmates not yet convicted, the effect would be disastrous. The principle is fine in the abstract, but as a practical matter it's difficult to apply without adversely and critically affecting se­ curity. As far as jail officers are concerned, an unconvicted inmate may be legally innocent, but there is reasonable cause to believe he is guilty; otherwise he wouldn't have been arrest­ ed. If he has been charged with a serious offense, or has a history of or displays a ten­ dency toward violence, he must be regarded as 91 a potential criminal and treated as such. To do otherwise would put in jeopardy the other inmates, jail personnel, and the public. Few jail administrators care what rights and privileges are given inmates as long as they are not a breach of security. In fact, the more that can be done to keep the inmates con­ tent, the easier is the job of operating the jail. Rules pertaining to visiting, mail, and other privileges are made solely to protect the secu­ rity of the facility and ensure its orderly opera­ tion; not, as some have implied, to inconven­ ience the inmate, make his stay in confine­ ment more d isagreeable, and thus magnify his punishment. SUMMARY In deciding whether treatment of jail in­ mates is generally too harsh or too lenient, we must keep in mind one important factor. A jail is not a hotel, a university, a rest home, a hospital, or a public monument. It is a utilitarian facility to confine those who are accused of crime until their cases can be disposed of in court, or for a prescribed period of time pursuant to an order of the court after conviction. As long as the inmate is provided the basic necessities of life, is not physically mistreated, is provided a reasonable opportunity for contact with familyor friends, and his legal and human rights are not violated, he has no legitimate complaint. Society, represented by law enforcement and the judiciary, may force him to stay in custody, but it didn't coerce him intocommittingtheact which led to his arrest. For that. he has no one to blame but himself. ~Au..EY CONSTRUCTION CO. I P.O. BOX 633, Clovis, Calif. 93612 II Contractors License 11280135 Developers & Builders (209) 298-6595 We're reminded of a citizen who was appointed to an agency having some influence in the management and operation of juvenile detention facilities. In commenting to the press he admitted that as a youth he'd had a minor brush with the law, and had spent a brief time in such a facility. He said, "It didn't take me long to decide I never wanted to go there .agaIn. " His remark was quoted asacondemnationof '",hat he'd regarded as harsh treatment, and an implication he intended to see that present-day facilities over which he had some influence would be easier on their inmates. But we wonder. If the facility he referred to had not been so strict, perhaps he wouldn't have been so determined not to return. And perhaps today he'd be an inmate of an adult penal institution instead of a respected civic leader. Perhaps he is living proof of the value of discipline and of being forced to face the stark reality that when one does wrong, he must be punished. Should his remark have been considered an endorse­ ment rather than a condemnation? Compliments Of GEO. A. HORMEl & CO. VALLEY l:HROME PLATING Tony Lucas, Owner Phone 251·8684 1366 N.

Highway 99 Pacific Division Headquarters: Fresno 104 Air Squadron A New Approach to Public Service Since it was founded almost forty years ago, the Fresno County Sheriff's Air Squadron has, in addition to being very active in the search for persons lost in the mountains, been involved in various programs designed to educate the public in how to keep from getting in trouble while hunting, fishing, or camping, and how to help themselves if it does happen. Their latest effort in that regard is one of which every mem­ ber is extremely proud. For as long as airplanes have been used in searching for lost persons, one of the major problems has been that the person being searched for may not be seen because he doesn't $' LUCKY W BAIL BONDS 268-4646 2315 FRESNO STREET, FRESNO BRIX APARTMENTS BUILOING ACROSS FROM CITY HALL realize he must help by doing all he can to attract the attention of the flyers. Those with little flying experience fail to realize how diffi­ cult it is to spot a person from the air, partic­ ularly if he is sitting or standing motionless. In an attempt to make the public more aware of the problem, the Squadron last year began distributing a documentary film they had produced late the previous year. Entitled simply "Lost", it was written in a format to capture the interest of both children and adults. In a dramatic fashion it tells the story of a youngster who wanders away from a family outing in the mountains and becomes lost, and Welcome To The Friendly Ajlro molel • Beautiful Cocktail Lounge • All Weather Air Conditioning • Commercials Welcome • Three Acres Truck Parking 99 NORTH -off on Clinton Ramp 99 SOUTH -off on Valentine & Dakota An Easy Route To An'Easy Rest 105 WESTERN CAMPS, INC.

After being out overnight the youngster spots a search plane and remembers he has been told he must run about in an open area to make it easier for the pilot to see him. He therefore is rescued immediately after­ ward, while his father, who stands motionless under trees while he watches search craft fly over, must spend a second night in the forest before he accidentally stumbles onto a method for attracting attention. Chris Asher, son of Squadron member Larry Asher, played the part of the lost boy, and gave a performance any professional actor would have been proud of. Don Masters, who made quite a name for himself in local radio a few years ago, and since has been active in Community Theater, handled the father's role in a very professional manner. Various members of the Squadron and the Depart­ ment's search and rescue team also partici­ pated. They did quite well, although their roles called for no special acting ability, for they did what they would have done on an actual search mission. Gene Hallam, Squadron liaison officer, wrote the script, and it was directed and narrated by Jack Hall, whose other recent artistic triumph was directing last season's production of "The Music Man" by the Community Theater. Kingsley Roberts did the camera work, assisted in aerial shots by Harry Rogers of Rogers Helicopters, a former Air Squadron member. Hall and Roberts are both with KMJ-TV, whose management cooperated and assisted in the production.

However, it was so well received locally that it was decided to distribute it statewide, paying particular attention to southern California, where many of those we search for are from. Several school districts in central and southern California have acquired copies, and it has been shown on the educational television channel serving the Los Angeles area, as well as locally on Channel 24. Fresno Squadron members and Department officers have shown it in conjunction with talks to various local groups, and several other Squadrons in the Western States Association of Sheriff's Air Squadrons have acquired copies to use in spreading its message in their home commu­ nities.

As indicated by the photos, as with any sporting event there were moments of triumph, and moments of despair. Is that an expres­ sion of sympathy for a seasick fellow fisherman (fisherperson?) on the face of Tammy Miller? Or is it apprehen­ sion over what may be about to happen to her? 110 Automated vs. Manual Searching by Al Flores Fresno County is one of three counties in California now engaged in Automated Finger­ print Search. To most of you readers, this may not be significant, but I believe that you should know of the collective efforts and promotional suggestions made by members of the Records and Inden tification Bureau in order for Fresno County to be included in the initial phase of Automated Fingerprint System. The need to be included in the system was recognized when we learned of the volume of fingerprint cards that could be placed into the system, which would, at a given command, search the entire data and identify the specific card in a matter of seconds or minutes, de­ pending on how much information was given it. As of this writing, Fresno County has con­ tributed to the system approximately 3000 fingerprint cards out of 7000 that are in our own manual 10-1 system. You should realize that it took the combined cooperation of past and present officers in the Sheriffs Depart­ ment 18 years to accumulate the 7000 finger­ print cards of known subjects who spend most of their time committing some kind of a crime. Compliments Of A FRIEND 111 The 3000 that were put into the system are the elite of the 7000 and it took approximately one month to purge them from the 10-1 file. Since the inception of the fingerprint file in Fresno County, the number of fingerprint cards in the file has increased from one card to over a quarter of a million cards. With this enormous source of information, a system had to be created in order to be able to find a specific fingerprint card in the vast number of cards in the file. Some years ago an English gentleman by the name of Sir Henry devised a system by which all of the ten inked prints on a card were classified and then filed. The system was modified to some degree and is currently being used by law enforcement departments in most of the world, including the Fresno Sheriff's Department. The fingerprint card is often the only tool the investigator has to resolve his case as records now stand, except for the fingerprint card in the file, numerous major crimes would have been left in the file as unsolved and "John Does" would have been buried with an unknown marker on the grave. The Sir Henry system enabled Law Enforce­ ment to compare a fingerprint card in a matter of minutes with a card in the file previously taken from the same subject. However, the same situation does not exist when the investi­ gator has only a single partial print. This problem was approached by the F .B.I. and, after several years of extensive research, it was turned over to private industry for com­ pletion. Two firms, Galspan Corporation and Rock­ well International, developed separate systems which are similar in principle and achieve basically the same results. The systems consist of a terminal, a processor, disc memory and a printer. The terminal contains a closed-circuit television system with a graphic interface. Latent fingerprint impressions are magnified and displayed on the terminal TV monitor. The terminal controls enable the technician to mark the position of minutiae within the latent fingerprint.

Those names which contain fingerprint data reflecting a sufficiently high statistical score are then identified on the printer. These identifications are provided in score rank order for subsequent manual verification. The Automated Fingerprint System oper­ ates on a state level at the Department of Justice 'in Sacramento, and currently there are approximately 20,000 fingerprint cards in the system. As noted at the beginning of this arti­ cle, Fresno is one of the three counties that contributed fingerprint cards to the program. Target date for completion of the state system is 1981, at which time all law enforcement agencies in the state will be able to utilize the system. San Jose Police Department has the same system, but they are on a regional level. Perhaps now is the appropriate time to regress to the late fifties and show you how much was done then and through the years by members of the Sheriff's Department Bureau of Identification so that we could be one of the counties to participate in the program. As he was fingerprinting a subject during a regular booking in the late fifties (1958-59), the Criminologist had an idea. If, in the course of his duties as a mug room technician, he came to know that a subject committed certain major crimes, that subject would have a second card taken in addition to the regular fingerprint card. That second card would include the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of each hand. Each finger was then individually coded and placed on a separate index card, and each card was identified with the Sheriff's Depart­ ment identification number assigned to the subject upon his initial booking. By doing this it would be possible to identify anyone in the file by comparing a single latent from the crime scene with the known prints on file. The reader, may ask, "Why only the thumbs, index and middle fingers?" The answer is that if one picks up an object, the thumb, index and 113 middle fingers are mainly responsible for holding it. Besides, if all ten fingers were fingerprinted, additional personnel would be required to work the file. Therefore, at this early stage, it was decided to leave out the ring and little fingers of each hand. During his eight-hour tour of duty as a mug room technician, each Criminologist was in­ structed to take a second card of a subject if he felt the subject met the systems criteria. As the days went by, the system grew, and within two months four "hits" were made (meaning four subjects were identified by asingle printfound at the crime scene). Although considerable voluntary efforts were put into the system, it was not fully accepted by the Department. Thus, whenever possible, the system was used at the discretion of the individual Criminolo­ gist. A few years later the 10-1 system was intro­ duced and accepted by the Department. Diffi­ culties arose, however, because of manpower and guidelines, but in a few years it became very popular with members of the detective and patrol divisions. * -" Open Every Day 11:30 AM. to 1 :30 AM ROMA PIZZA HOUSE Our Foods Speak Any Language EMILIO, Mgr.

Since she took charge, numerous suspects have been identified as having been at the scene of a crime from a mere latent found by one of the Criminologists who processed the scene. With the proper automated equipment, Mrs. Ciancetti would be able to search not only the suspects in Fresno County but any suspect that has been entered into the computer throughout the state. It is estimated this wiH be done at an approximate rate of 100 sets of filed finger­ prints per second, depending on how much information is put into the computer.

However, in spite of recent changes in eligi­ bility rules, boys still are the chief benefactors. A couple of years ago, deciding it was time the fairer sex was given a break, the Search and Rescue team arranged to sponsor a girls soccer team. Because soccer is still relatively un­ known in this country, the following informa­ tion regarding its origin and growth is pre­ sented. Throughout the world, soccer's popularity is unmatched by any other sport. It is played by millions of people of both sexes, old and young alike, from Brazil to Russia, Mexico to Israel, Italy to Iceland, Sweden to Malaya, and a hundred other countries from Albania to Zambia. No one knows why the United States has resisted the call of soccer until just recently. The game was, after all, one of the first or­ ganized sporting events to take place in this country. The famous game of 1869 between Princeton and Rutgers, generally credited as being the start of our present game of football, was actually a soccer game. The rules were based on those drawn up in 1863 by the London Football Association, and in England the word DIDIER'S LIQUOR Bob Christiansen. owner Delicatessen -Party Specialties -Sporting Goods Open 7:30 a.m. 'til midnight Open Fri. & Sat.

Other nations call it by whatever term "football" translates to in their language, such as "fut balles" and "foote balle". The actual origin of the game is not known, but ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt, and China all have some claim to being its originator. The earliest record of anything which close­ ly resembles soccer as we know it today was a game played by public school children in the streets of England in 1175 . In 1314 soccer was forbidden by law in England, "forasmuch as there is great noise in the city caused by hustling over large balls, from which many evils may arise, of which God forbid, we command and forbid on behalf of the King, on pain of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city in the future." King Richard II passed a further act in 1389 stating it interfered with archery practice. Whoever was king in April of 1497 apparently had a more tolerant view­ point, for that year the first organized game was played in Stirling, England, with the king among the spectators. But when Queen Eliza­ beth ascended the throne, the game still had a bad reputation, and was not considered accept­ able to royalty. In 1572 the Queen issued a proclamation against football in the city of London which stated, "Foote balle is a pastime to be utterly objected by all noblemen, the game giving no pleasure, but beastlie fury and violence." Shakespeare also took a dim view of the sport, referring to it as "a bloodie and murthering practice, rather than sport." But in spite of the royal edicts and the adverse publicity, soccer survived, and by 1711 had become a popular and well established sport. In 1863 the London Football Association was established, and soccer and rugby separated by formulating rules for both sports. Soccer rules changed very little between that year and 1925. Records indicate soccer has been played on fields ranging in size from 300 yards by 200 yards, to 80 yards by 80 feet. Some leagues today play on fields of 111 yards by 70 yards, while the standard field is 120 yards by 80 yards. Early records indicate teams have ranged from 9 to 23 players. Present day teams have 11 players, with a maximum of 18 players on the roster of an organized team. Soccer has been played in the United States for well over a hundred years.

Tulare Fresno, CA Gracie Banks dem­ onstrates how easy it is to practice soccer all by your­ self. .. not become a professional sport until 1967. Five years later, in 1972, the first draft of college players was conducted. Exceptional height or muscular develop­ ment are not necessary to become a good soccer' player. There are records to indicate some players in the past were well over six feet tall and weighed as much as 340 pounds. Most of the greatsoccer players of today, though, are of average height, and may even be of small build. Seldom will one be found who weighs more than 180 pounds, as anyone larger than that is considered by most experts to be too cumbersome for any position other than goalie or center half. The greatness of soccer players is determined not by size, but by skill. While natural athletic ability is, of course, an advan­ tage, the specific skills needed to be a good soccer player are not inherited. They must be learned, and developed by hours and hours of devoted individual practice. All that is needed is a ball, a waH, and you. 119 The SLATER MISTYS, sponsored by the Search and Rescue Team, won their first three games, then fell into a slump and didn't do too well the remainder of the season.

North Fresno 122 They're Plotting With The Devil, So I'll Kill Them All A burst of bullets took four lives and set off an investigation that wound up with tales of voodoo and a deadly spirit voice by Charles Davids Editor's Note: We usually include in each issue of the Review a story of a recent major homicide investigation conducted by this department. This year we selected a case which we found had already received nation-wide publicity in a popular magazine. The story was very well written, and officers who had worked the case vouched for its accuracy. We therefore arranged for permission to reprint it. Through the courtesy of Mr. James W. Bowser, Editorof Detective Publications, Inc., the story is pre­ sented exactly as it appeared in the November, 1976 issue of Inside Detective. Our sincere thanks to Mr. Bowser and to the author, Charles Davids. It was a gloomy, drizzly Monday in central California; the kind of day on which no one wants to get out of bed. But, in the agricultural hamlet of Orange Cove, surrounded by the citrus trees that gave the little community its Felipe Martinez Garcia name, most of the hard-working pickers had been up early and out in the groves since day­ break. About 11:30 that morning-April 7, 1975­ one of them, Jose Santana, who had been pick­ ing since sun-up, took a break and stopped by at the home of his sister, Mrs. Jessie Maldanadoin Orange Cove. Twenty-two-year-old Jessie only recently had moved to the town with her two children and another brother, 18-year-old David Rodrigues. Together, the latter and his sister had rented a small studio apartment and set up housekeeping. As Jose Santana approached his relatives' home, it seemed unnaturally quiet inside. N or­ mally, he would have heard the shouts and laughter of the younger children over lunch. He didn't think much about it, however, until he opened the 'door and stepped inside Apart­ ment 12. Then he stopped short and stared in 123 DRIVING RANGE -PRO SHOP -GOLF LESSONS LOCKER ROOMS Palm Lakes Golf Course ASHER BROS.

Sprawled on the floor in front of a small sofa in the one-room home was his sister Jessie. Nearby lay his half-brother David. Jose's first thought was that they had been overcome by gas, so he walked swiftly across the long room to the kitchen area to check the stove. As he did, he saw his four-year-old nephew, Danny Maldanado, sitting on a chair. Danny's face was smeared with what appeared to be jelly. Not far away on one of the two beds in the apartment lay Jose's 18-month-old nephew, Jessie's son Phillip Martinez. The child was gasping for breath and his uncle hastened to his side. Then he turned and looked around, trying to figure out what had happened to his loved ones. Suddenly, he realized that the red substance on his one nephew's face was blood. The realization froze him in horror for an instant, then he forced himself to act. He turned and ran from Apartment 12 to the nearby home of a friend with whom he had been working not long before. Practically dragging his co-worker into Apartment 12, he choked out the grief-stricken appeal: "Look what's happened to my family." It took only a brief glance around the small apartment to send Jose's friend running to summon help and police. Officers were on the scene first, followed by medical assistance. They quickly determined that the three older persons in the apartment were dead. A spark of tife still remained in little Phillip, however, and he was loaded in an ambulance for a race with death. He lost, the word soon was flashed to police at the scene, succumbing on the way to the hospital. Like the other three members of his family, he had been killed by a bullet fired into his head. By that time, the investigators had examined the scene of the mass murder, looking for some clue to the killer and some lead as to a possible motive for the crime. "It doesn't look like robbery," one of the Orange Cove officers remarked. He pointed out Jessie Maldanado's purse, which sat unopened on an end table in the room. The home of Antonicio Tela, Garcia'S first victim. The local police had been joined by personnel from the Fresno County sheriffs office, which would have jurisdiction over the case. One of the county detectives called his companions' attention to a kitchen chair near the corpse of David Rodrigues. On it was a plate on which were tortillas and beans. "It appears this one was sitting on the bed, eating his lunch off the chair, when he got it," he said. "There's a kitchen knife here on the bed and a lemon on the floor. It looks to me as if someone just walked in the door and started shooting." He bent and lifted the wrist of the young man, carefully checking the watch there with­ out touching it. "It's stopped at 10:35," he reported. "Probably got broken when he slipped off the bed and fell to the floor." Another of the county investigators, working under the direction of Captain Robert Saum, said, "No sign of the murder weapon in here. But those four ejected shell casings near the door indicate it probably was an automatic rifle. A .22, I'd say, but we'll know for sure when we get a ballistics report." The officers moved outside the apartment to make way for crime-scene technicians who would take photographs, make sketches and dust for fingerprints, carefully bagging any 125 evidence found for laboratory testing. Team­ ing up with the Spanish-speakingOrange Cove officers, the county detectives began question­ ing the victims' neighbors for any leads and searching for clues to the mass murderer's identity in the area around Apartment 12. The questioning turned up little in the way of leads. Most of the neighbors seemed stunned into silence by the slaughter in their midst. No one had seen anybody suspicious-appearing around Apartment 12 that morning, itseemed, although the investigators sensed that fear of the unknown might have silenced some potential witnesses. One bit of information came from a woman who lived next to the victims. She told detec­ tives that she had heard what had sounded like hammering sounds coming from the Malda­ nado apartment about 10:30 A.M . "It was just four or five quick taps," she said. "At the time, 1 just thought it was someone maybe hanging a picture." She had nothing else to add. Some of the officers had been examing the oil-stained dirt outside the death scene on the chance tire tracks might be found there. They were as luckless in that evidence search as their comrades who had been checking the front and back door frames at Apartment 12 for signs of forced entry. "Nothing on either door," one of the latter • reported. The search of the area failed to turn up the death weapon, either, but the ballistics report later would indicate that the fatal bullets had been fired from a .22-caliber Browning auto­ matic rifle. The gun was capable of fi'ring as many as 17 shots in rapid succession. By nightfall Monday, the investigators had spread their door-to-door questioning through much of Orange Cove without turning up any leads. One of the homes they called on was that of Felipe Martinez Garcia. A big, stocky man, the 44-year-old Garcia was a former heroin addict who recently had been doing counsel­ ing work at a methadone clinic in nearby Woodville. He told the officers who visited his home that he had no information to provide 126 MARS DRIVE IN RESTAURANT . -Ranchburgers • Good Sandwiches • Fountain Speciah • Breakfast Served Any Time 249 E.

He readily provided an alibi for his whereabouts. Three days later, with no solid suspects turned up in the case and no solid evidence located, police returned to talk with Garcia again. By that time, they had established a connection between him and another murder victim, Antonicio Tela. Tela, a former brother-in-law of Garcia's wife, Pasquala, had been found shot to death in his little home in Orange Cove on January 6, 1975. The bullet that took his life-a .38-caliber slug-had left him slumped over a game of solitaire that he had begun but never got a ' chance to finish. No clues had been found to his slayer by the time the officers returned to talk to Garcia about the quadruple killing. At the timeofTela's murder, his daughter by a former marriage, 14-year-old Linda Tela, had been living with Garcia and his wife. His possessions had come to Linda and Garcia after his murder. Garcia again told the investigators that he knew nothing about the slaying of Jessie Maldanado and her family or the shoot­ ing of Tela. The probers continued to dig for leads among Orange Cove's residents. About a week later, they found a witness who recalled seeing Garcia sitting i,n a caroutside Apartment 120n the morning of the massacre. The informant, however, said he had not seen Garcia get outof 127 •••••• the car, nor had he seen the former drug addict with a gun. Detectives went back to question Garcia again, but with the same result. He was ada­ mant in his denial of any involvement in the murders. By the time May arrived, Garcia had been revisited by the investigators who were searching for some flaw in his story. They asked if he would take a polygraph test and he agreed, but its results were inconclusive. On May 17, the weary detectives had another mystery on their hands. Word came from Di­ nuba, Calif. that Garcia's 16-year-old daughter Frances had vanished. She had been making her home with her mother since her parents were divorced. The teenager last had been seen at her home that Saturday. It was believed she left to meet someone, but never returned. Three days later, the mystery deepened. Linda Tela, daughter of the first murder victim, was reported missing. The girl, who still was living with the Garcias, reportedly had been dropped off at a school function that evening and failed to return horne. A search for her proved as futile as that for Frances Garcia. The latter's father was questioned about both disappearances. By the end of the month, with five murders and two missing teenagers on the books, the sheriffs' investigators had run out ofleads. Two new probers were assigned to the various, seemingly related, cases. One was Detective Harry Massucco, young and eager to work on his first case since achieving his new rank. His partner was to be another capable investigator, Detective Ernest Duran, fluent in Spanish. The team decided to start their probe almost from scratch. They began by requestioning almost everyone connected to the probe in any manner. They talked to friends and relatives of the dead or missing, to their teachers, pastors, co-workers and casual acquaintances. And they followed up even the slightest lead. By mid-June, they had discovered that Garcia and Jessie Maldanado had been lovers and that Jessie had had his baby. The child's name was Phillip Martinez on his birth certif­ icate and Martinez was Felipe Garcia's middle 128 JIM'S LOCKSMITHING nUIId LOCIE OUR PROFESSION ~ Mem s S ~ :~C-~-ENy_LS·A. medeco SA High Security Locks JIM CAMPBELL (209) 266-341. 1517 N.

In the three weeks that Jessie had been living in Apartment 12 with her family, the officers learned, she had introduced' the child to new friends as "Felipe Garcia, Jr." Garcia apparently had not liked being labeled as the child's father, the detectives were told, and, on at least two occasions, had stopped by Jessie's apartment to insist that she stop doing so. His visits had been quite heated and he reportedly had threatened her with dire consequences if she continued to identify him as the child's father. While the hard-working detective team was building its case, an incident occurred that helped to speed their efforts. On July 1, acting on a report that someone was firing shots with­ in the city limits of Dinuba, local officers investigated and took into custody a youth who had been target shooting. The weapon they took away from him turned out to be a .22-cali­ ber Browning automatic rifle. Well aware of the type rifle used in the Orange Cove massacre, Dinuba police relayed the information to the sheriffs office. Within two hours, ballistic tests had established that the Browning taken from the youth was the same one used in the four murders. Moving quickly, detectives traced the rifle back through a series of short-term owners and trades and sales. The trail stopped at a youthful relative of Felipe Garcia. The young man told the investigators that he had discovered the automatic weapon in his backyard not long after the Orange Cove massacre. It was his belief, he insisted, that Garcia had "planted" it there to place the blame for the quadruple murder on him, so he had disposed of it shortly. The rifle was shown to relatives of the mur­ dered Tela and several of them identified it as the one that had belonged to the victim. One of Tela's relatives told the officers that the Browning had been a favorite of the slain man and that he had called it "my machine gun." Several of Tela's relatives recalled that the rifle had not been in his home after he was slain. \ The investigators speculated that the Browning had been stolen when Tela was slain 129 COMPLETE BANKING SERVICE CALIFORNIA I FIRST BANK ( Formerly ) The Bank of Tokyo of California West Fresno Bronch 1458 Kern 51. 233-0591 North Fresno Branch 1330E.

Finally, they decided they had enough evidence from actual clues and witnesses' statements to make an arrest. Their superiors agreed and, on July 14, Felipe Garcia and his wife Pasquala were taken into custody. Each was charged with five counts of murder and booked. Bail for each was set at $200,000. (The charges against Pasquala Garcia subse­ quently were dropped.) Although Garcia was in custody and charged with the slayings, the Fresno County author­ ities pressed to collect more evidence to be used against him. Two weeks later, after more interviews were conducted, the Fresno County district attor­ ney's office obtained a search warrant for Garcia's home and grounds. A back-hoe was brought in to dig for evidence in the yard, but nothing was found that appeared to be linked to the case. On the nightstand next to Garcia's bed, however, the searchers found two pistols. One of them was a Smith & Wesson revolver of .38 caliber, the same size as had been used to kill Antonicio Tela in January. Ballistic tests on the gun proved inconclusive, however. As the detectives continued their quest for evidence, Garcia continued to declare his inno­ cence of any connection with the murders. When investigators would come to him with questions, he would deny his guilt, remaining unshaken by their queries and smiling all the while. Several of the probers were to comment to newsmen about the smile's "unnerving" quality. Garcia told the detectives he had become a religious man and said he was, in fact, praying at the time of his arrest. He referred to himself as "God's child" and as a man who "followed the path of God." On September 21, a Fresno County grand jury indicted Garcia for the murders. The fol­ lowing month, detectives found another important witness, a 12-year-old girl who was related to the suspect. She told the officers that Overatl' and close-up views of the area where the body of Frances Garcia was found six months after she was killed by her father. Garcia once had admitted to her that he killed Antonicio Tela, but warned that, if she ever told anyone he would kill her and her mother. Saturday, November 8, the corpse of the long-missing Frances Garcia was found. A woman walking her dog through tall grass on the bank of the Kings River, north of the Kings River Golf and Country Club in TulareCounty, came upon the badly decomposed remains of the teenager. Dental charts were used to con­ firm the identification. Cuts in her clothing indicated she had been stabbed often. One of the girl's teachers at Dinuba High School recalled Frances as "very popular, happy and very artistic." She remembered that the girl's biggest ambition had been to join the Air Force. 131 EAST EL MONTE GUEST HOME Supervised Care and Recreation for Ambulatory Aged Guests Once more, Felipe Garcia was to deny knowing anything about the murder of some­ onewho had been an important part of his life. Undaunted, the detectives kept interviewing potential witnesses and digging for more evi­ dence. By the time Garcia's trial was scheduled to begin, more than 125 persons had been su bpoenaed. On April 12, 1976, just more than one year after the Orange Cove massacre, jury selection was completed for Felipe Garcia's trial. The proceedings were delayed for one week 'by various legal maneuverings, then, on April 19, in a move that surprised most of those unfamiliar with the behind the scenes activi­ ties, Garcia changed his plea from "not guilty" to "not guilty by reason of insanity." The de­ fendant rose in open court and declared: "I don't need no jury 'cause I know I done it." It was decided that the jury which had been selected to try the accused would serve as a sanity hearing panel. Since the defendant had ad mitted his guilt with the revised plea, it would be the task of the panelists to rule only on whether or not he was insane legally. Their deliberations were delayed while Garcia was examined by two court-appointed psychia­ trists for the state and one for the defense. The tests were completed by mid-May and the hearing resumed. Its most dramatic testimony came from one of the psychiatrists, who told the jurors what Garcia had confessed to him during a chilling, three-hour, on-the­ record interview, and also from the defendant's wife Pasquala. Taking the stand on May 17, the psychia­ trist began to talk about the man he character­ ized as "extraordinarily dangerous; one of the most dangerous people I have ever examined." He said that he first had met with the accused almost a year earl ier during a session arranged by the county sheriffs office and that of the dis­ trict attorney. The session had been held on May 26,1975, at which time Garcia had not yet been charged with the murders, but had agreed to talk. During that session, the psychiatrist said, Garcia had denied completely any responsi­ 132 4670 E.

In their second, more recent interview, according to the psychiatrist, Garcia readily admitted his guilt and provided background information on the murders. Garcia had told him he killed Tela for several reasons. For one thing, Tela was a Filipino and Garcia was prej­ udiced against them. Too, Garcia purportedly believed that Tela was interested in Pasquala Garcia and, feeling that Tela was a violent man, might kill to get her. Garcia allegedly had hallucinated about Tela, whom the defendant claimed was possessed by the devil, and he was quoted as saying he heard a voice telling him to get the Filipino before he got him. He did so by going to Tela's home and shooting him, after which he felt much better for having defeated the "Devil's conspiracy." He had used the .38 to kill Tela and insisted that he had not stolen the Browning automatic rifle at that time. He claimed to have found it in one ofthe three cars that came to him after Tela's death. It wasn't long, however, before Garcia's peace of mind was disrupted again, according to the psychiatrist. He began hearing voices again. Now they were telling him that his former mistress Jessie Maldanado and two other people were conspiring against him in a plot inspired by Satan. In addition, he pur­ portedly believed that Jessie had cast a voodoo spell upon him and that her youngest son's doll was actually a voodoo doll through which his former lover was gaining more power over him. "Garcia doesn't think he is insane or 'crazy,' to use his words," the psychiatrist told the court. He said that the defendant said he be­ lieved that all that had occurred was the result of supernatural forces against him. On the day of the massacre at Orange Cove, the witness quoted Garcia as saying, he had gone to Jessie's home to tell her to stop claiming that the boy Phillip was his son when she knew, according to him, that the father was someone 133 __ __ else. He claimed that Jessie had laughed at him and said she would go on telling people Phillip was his boy. At that, he had shot her. Jessie's brother, David, who had been sitting nearby, got up and started to run, at which time Garcia shot him. Next to die was 18­ month-old Phillip because, according to Garcia's purported account, the tot had per­ formed a remarkable leap from his crib to a nearby bed and cast an evil eye on him. The witness said that Garcia had told him he was sorry that David Rodrigues had been killed because he never felt that the brother of Jessie had been conspiring with her against him. Strangely, Garcia never discussed the slaying of Danny Maldanado, according to the psychiatrist. After Frances Garcia's body was found officers conducted a thorough search of the surrounding area in a fruitless search for the body, or clues that would shed some light on the disappearance of, the still missing Linda Tela. Next to die as a result of the "voice" that talked to Garcia was the defendant's daughter Frances, the witness testified. Garcia had be­ come convinced that she was the "chief source of the Devil" and was plotting to kill him. The girl allegedly had come to Garcia and told him she was unhappy living in Dinuba and wanted to stay with him and Pasquala. He feared her, however, and did not want her in his house, according to his story. Still, when she called him on the day she vanished and asked him to meet her, he went, although reluctantly, and drove her to a spot where they formerly had fished together.

He still was afraid she wanted to kill him, he was quoted as saying, and took a knife away from her and plunged it into her abdomen three times. Garcia said the girl continued to look angry and wanted to kill him, so he stabbed her through the heart next, according to the wit­ ness. At that, Garcia purportedly saw her expression change from anger to peace. According to the psychiatrist, Garcia denied knowing anything about the disappearance of Linda Tela. The witness said that Garcia had told him of hearing two more voices after the murder of Frances. One had been an "evil" voice; the other that of the "Holy Spirit," which told him that he had done well in murdering those who sold their souls to the Devil and, therefore, already were dead, so he really had not killed anyone. What he had done was "the Lord's work," Garcia said his voice told him. The psychiatrist labeled Garcia a schizo­ phrenic-paranoid who had been able to dis­ guise his mental illness for some time and who legally was insane. The other psychiatrists con­ curred, although one noted that he felt Garcia was sane at the time of the first murder, that of Tela. As the hearing progressed, evidence was presented that indicated Garcia also believed in supernatural possession. A local minister was called to the stand and questioned by Deputy District Attorney Stevan Noxon, who had overseen the lengthy probe, assisted by DA's Investigator Dave Anderson. The clergyman told the court that he had performed two exorcisms at the Garcia home. The first time was in September, 1974, when he was called there by Garcia who had asked him to "cast out the demons" that had possessed his wife Pasquala. According to the minister, the woman had frothed at the mouth as she lay on her bed while he and Garcia prayed over her. Not long after that, the witness said, he had returned to the couple's residence to perform an exorcism on Felipe himself. 135 V An eerie picture of courtship by and mar­ riage to the suspect was painted on the witness stand by his wife. She explained that they had met when he took his mother and children to the church she attended in Orange Cove. After that, she frequently tended to Garcia's mother's needs because the woman was a resi­ dent of a convalescent home. She then got sick herself and Garcia came to visit her, she went on, and soon was urging her to marry him, say­ ing that "if I didn't, I would have to go." Asked by her husband's attorney what Garcia had meant by "have to go," she replied, "He was going to kill me. "He said he would cut out my eyes, cutoffmy ears and nose and whatever he liked about me and bury it where no one ever would see it but him." "When did he say this?" was the attorney's next question. "When he was caressing me," she responded. "But you married him after he said this?" "Yes. But I was frightened. I felt like run­ ning out the door." They were married by a judge on May 2, 1974, she testified. She added, in response to the attorney's query as to what Garcia was like after that: "He was a beautiful husband." Mrs. Garcia told the court that she and her husband and many of their relatives and friends practiced a religious cult based on a belief in "Nino Fidencio." Its followers believe that the spirit of a deceased boy can be called upon to give supernatural kinds of informa­ tion, the witness said. She went on to recall that, every once in a while, her husband would tell her that his instructions to do something had come from "Nino Fidencio," rather than the Lord. During the early days of their marriage, according to the witness, Garcia kept a voodoo picture of her in the house. The picture was tied to a cross and kept under water, she said, "so that I could not get away from him." The defendant's wife also told of some of the halluci­ nations her husband had had during their marriage. 136 BIG POTATOE MARKET 9 AM 10 7 PM Closed Sundoys & Holidays 6947 So.

He once had told her that his mother had become a frog. Each night, she said, Felipe would hose down the yard round their home, then, in the morning, inspect the wet earth for fresh footprints . During one of their twice daily prayer ses­ sions, she testified, Felipe had turned to her and confessed calmly that he killed his daugh­ ter Frances because she was "the daughter of Satan." He had wept because it had taken the teenager so long to die and, when it was over, had looked up at the stars and shouted: "You wanted her Lord, now take her!" According to the witness, she had visited her husband in jail on the Sunday before she was to testify and he told her at that time that he now believes he is John the Baptist and he had quoted a passage from the Bible in which it was foretold that the spirit of the martyr would enter men's souls. "He thinks he's John now," she said. The witness also told of another conversation with her husband while both were behind bars at the Fresno County jail. They were communi­ cating over ajail telephone setup, but could see each other through heavy glass, she said, and she had asked, "You didn't?" At the same time, . she had indicated with her hand, in step fashion, the adults and children who were slain and then made a motion like the pulling of a trigger with one finger. Felipe had said, she testified: "I only did my Lord's will." Mrs. Garcia said that she had atttempted to get to an investigator to tell him about her husband's confession during the prayer session to the murder of his daughter Frances, but her car had been wrecked en route and she had been injured. From that time on, she said, Garcia had kept her on heavy medication until "I was hardly awake dayor night." She also had suffered memory lapses during that period, she explained, 'and it was only after seeing a television movie while in jail that she recalled the incident. 137 The witness also asserted from the stand that she still loved her husband. Other witnesses were called to testify that Garcia had told them that he could commit murder and get away with it. His method allegedly would be to plead insanity, they said. Finally, the issue went to the sanity hearing panelists, who deliberated for 16 hours before reaching their verdict. They found Garcia legally sane on one count of murder-that of killing Antonicio Tela-and legally insane during the slaughter in Orange Cove. On June 28, Judge Frank J. Creede sen­ tenced Felipe Garcia to life in prison and rec­ ommened that he be incarcerated in a mental hospital for the criminally insane. At this writing, the authorities reportedly are deliberating as to whether to try Garcia for the already confessed murder of his daughter Frances. That trial would have to be held in Tulare County, site of the slaying. With the mass murderer safely behind bars, however, Deputy DA Noxon took time out to discuss the thousands of manhours that had gone into the investigation. "The detectives solved the case, or GarciGi. would still be going around killing people." '.

This modernization of the department has caused Police Chief Thomas W. Higgason, who celebrated his 30th anniver­ sary with the Clovis Police Department on March 1, 1977, to reflect on the many changes which have taken place in the department, during his career. Chief Higgason relates that the first city­ owned police vehicle was purchased in late fall of 1947 .

The police budget in 1947 was approx­ imately $15,000 to support the department and its force of three full-time and one part-time officers. The full-time officers worked six days per week, 10 hours per day for a salary of $175 a month.

P. COLE WOOD SALES BEST IN FIREPLACE WOOD OAK -PINE 4724 E. Herndon, Clovis 299-7426 The '50s saw changes developing in the de­ partment. In 1952 the City purchased its second police vehicle to put two vehicles into service. In 1955 the department moved from a one-desk operation in the rear of the Clovis Justice Court to a building which was con­ structed alongside the fire deprtment at 533 Pollasky Avenue. With this move, the City purchased a used base radio and began dis­ patching its own police calls. The mid '50s saw seven officers working for the department. With the hiring of Harry Rohde in 1956, the department had its first records system. Rohde is now Communications and Records Sergeant and continues to update the records system which he set up. During 1956 Thomas Higgason was promoted to the rank of Chief of Police. The '60s saw further expansion ofthedepart­ ment's facility when it took over the space formerly occupied by the fire department at the same address. During this time there were 16 sworn officers driving five police vehicles. Filing and Dispatch. During the early '70s Chief Higgason, in an effort to bring more professionalism to the department, developed an Education Incentive Program which was subsequently approved by the newly hired City Manager, Allen L. Good­ man, and adopted by the City Council. As a result of this program, the department now boasts of an average education level of three years of college among its officers. 147 --- The '70s also saw the development of several new divisions, including Juvenile Services Di­ vision, Investigative Division, and a School Resource Program. Work is presently being done to establish a special motorized traffic enforcement unit. Recently, the department established a lO­ man Special Weapons and Tactics team. This team is currently being equipped with the weapons, clothing, and ammunition it needs. The Fresno Sheriffs Office STAR team and the Fresno Police Department SWAT team have been very helpful with the organization of this group by sharing training information and giving demonstrations in Clovis for observa­ tion by department SW AT team members. The department has hopes of sending members to specialized schools for training of this type. ,~ New classroom. Another change in the department is the re­ establishment of a "walking beat" in the down­ town area between the hours of 6:30 P.M. and 2:30 A.M. There has not been this type of beat protection for the citiio.ns of Clovis since Chief Higgason first joined ~he department in the '40s. The "walking beat" is a current trend in several departments throughout the state who are finding out that this approach not only works to deter and apprehend certain types of crimes and criminals, but is also a good public relations builder. 148 Compliments Of EINAR COOK 299-4743 4092 E.

Minnewawa Ave. 299·3692 Clovis 149 To cite a cause, all of these changes have been brought about because of the population trend which continues in Clovis, the fastest-growing community in the State of California and the second largest city in Fresno County. When Chief Higgason began his career in 1947, the total population of the City of Clovis was 1,700 and the city boundaries covered one square mile. Clovis now has boundaries covering seven square miles with a population of approxi­ mately 26,000 citizens. Many newcomers are attracted to Clovis because of its "Western Way of Life" which has continued since its inception in 1912. . Currently, the department has 42 employ­ ees-32 are sworn police officers-and a re­ serve unit of 32 members, using 17 vehicles, and a requested 1977-78 fiscal budget in excess of one million dollars.

Johnson Photography by Joe Knebel The Firebaugh Police Department is typical of most small town agencies within Fresno County. We serve a population of approximate­ ly 4,000 and maintain close working relation­ ships with all other Police and Sheriff's units. Firebaugh officers are responsible for both the protection of life and property, as well as 24­ hour ambulance service. Our policy is "Service with Understanding." No agency can efficiently carry out its duties without understanding the local problems and the needs of the people it serves. During the past year the Firebaugh Police have initiated many programs to produce public involvement with the Police, in order to help us understand the basic needs of the people. Being made aware of our citizens' needs by holding "Town Meetings" has been very helpful. A N.Y.P.U.M. program that involves taking juvenile offenders off the street and placing them under direct supervision of the Police has been a great success. This program has been led by Chief Manes and allows the youngster to ride a motorcycle and associate with other per­ sons his or her same age. By taking part in the program the youthful offender is motivated toward constructive ideas rather than allowed to continue a pattern of deliquency. Drug abuse campaigns have steadily been held for the public, with speakers from local BOBE.WOOD FIREBAUGH-MENDOlA PHONE 659·3911 4700 WEST B'ELMONT FIREBAUGH 155 and county officers. "WE TIP" programs for narcotic traffic detection, and the installation of a 23-channel CB radio have been good sour­ ces of information for all types of arrests. All these programs have been fully accepted by the citizens and allow the police to work hand in hand on a .personal basis with the people. This year the Police Department has pub­ lished an informative review of its officers with the theme of "GETTING TO KNOW US." Police Commissioner: Henry Rebecci Police Chief: Howard C.

Detective Harlan McFadden Harlan McFadden retired just a few months short of his twentieth anniversary as a member of the Department. During his tour of duty he made the normal progression through the jail. the courts, and into the Patrol Division. After considerable experience as a field officer he was at the dispatch desk for an extended period. then was transferred from Patrol to the Coroner's Section. or Bureau as it was then known. At the time of retirement he had for several years been assigned to the Warrant Section, which specializes in court liaison. and in handling extradition proceedings for per­ sons arrested here on warrants from other states. Prior to joining the Department Mac was employed by a local pump company, where members of his crew included Harold McKin­ ney, now the Sheriff, and William Cunning­ ham, now a lieutenant in the Department. But they weren't the only fellow employees he'd known before becoming a deputy. Early in World War II Mac had been captured by the Japanese when they invaded the Phillipines, and spent the war in a POW labor camp. One of the work supervisors there was Yoshio Kai, a United States citizen who had been in Japan when the war started, and was detained and forced to work in that capacity for the J apan­ ese. When Mac came to the Department in 1957 one of the first persons he encountered was Mr. Kai, who had joined us sometime before as an Identification Technician. Special guests at Mac's retirement banquet were Mr. Kai, who had retired the previous year. and two former fellow members of the POW camp, who had traveled considerable distances to wish an old buddy a happy retire­ ment. His fellow employees presented him witha pearl Stetson, to wear in his new role as a cattleman on his foothill ranch. Lieutenant Stanley Barnes Another veteran officer forced to retire last year because of disability was Lieutenant Stanley Barnes, who had first joined the De­ partment in 1950. He was among the group of new officers who in the years after World War II set a new trend in law enforcement-formal education. He had a degree in Criminology from Fresno State, and was a graduate of the United States Army's Criminal Investigation School at Camp Gordon, Georgia. Such creden­ tials would be considered commonplace today, but they were pretty impressive in 1950. Stan was promoted to sergeant in June of 1953. After serving in that capacity for a few months he resigned to accept a position with the State of California. He returned to this Department after a couple of years and started over again in his career as adeputy sheriff. He was again promoted to sergeant in 1961, and for several years was in charge of the Technical Services Section of the Records and Identifica­ tion Division. In 1972 he was promoted to lieutenant, and subsequently served as watch commander in the Jail and Patrol Divisions. Stan's hobby is scuba diving, and he has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most proficient divers and most capable diving instructors in central California. He used those skills to great advantage for the Departmentin"­helping to organize the SCUBA diving unit as a part of the Search and Rescue Team. He supervised the unit for several years, and trained many of its present members. 185 Mace Barnes Senior Identification Technician When a member of the Department retires, every other member who came to work after he or she did naturally moves up a rung on the sen iority ladder. Upon the reti rement of Senior Identification Technician Mace Barnes early in 1977, we all moved up a step. for Mace had been around longer than allY of us. When he entered Department service Franklin D. Roosevelt was president of the United States; we'd been actively involved in World War TI less than a year; the latest innovation in automobile design was cars without running boards; the intersection of Blackstone and Shaw was so far out in the country no one had ever dreamed it would one day be a major metropolitan commercial district: and most of the present members of the Department hadn't been born yet. This is not meant to imply that Mace was an old man when he retired; he was a very young man when he began his career. At the time Mace started practically every one of the handful of employees in the Depart­ ment was a deputy sheriff; the technician classification came much later. For most of his career Mace was a deputy sheriff specializing in identification, and for several years, until his position was re-classified to technician status, held the ran k of sergeant. Mace was well known ior his thoroughness in identification techniques. his meticulous atten­ tion to detail, and his courtly manner ancl gentlemanly traits. He was so modest about his accomplishments and contributions to the De­ partment and to law enforcement that he declined the usual Department-wide retire­ ment lunch or dinner, saying he preferred to bow out quietly, without fanfare. He finally consented to a quiet dinner with a few persons with whom he had worked closely in recent years. He was astonished. and pleased, when the few turned out to be about 50 friends and co-workers who gathered to wish him a happy retirement. DORN'S BUTANE SERVICE FOR SERVICE CALL THE BEST 3131 W. Mt.

(209) 829-6421 -674-1828 Cantua Creek, California Lieutenant Edward Margosian Lieutenant Edward Margosian was forced into a premature retirement early last year because of illness. He had been a member of the Department since 1954. Following the usual stints as jail officer and bailiff, he was assigned to the Patrol Division. There he soon exhibited considerable aptitude for dealing with young­ sters in trouble. After a few months he was assigned to the Crime Prevention Bureau, as the Juvenile Detail was then called. In that capacity he made a substantial contribution to the Department and the community. For years before there was such a thing as a formal School Resources Program, he worked closely with local school officials, youth organizations, and parents' groups, made speeches onjuvenile problems to various civic groups, and gener­ ally dedicated his career to the youth of Fresno County. He was also active in the California Juvenile Officers Association. Ed took his duties so seriously and per­ formed them so well he was permitted to remain in the Juvenile Detail after promotion to sergeant, instead of going through the usual routine of those days of returning to jail duty upon promotion. It was not until he was promoted to lieutenant in 1970 that he was assigned to another division. He served in the Patrol , Jail, and Detective Divisions as a lieutenant during the next few years, and was assistant commander of the Patrol Division when he retired. Oral Hyatt Correctional Officer II C/O II Oral Hyatt retired last summer after 15 years service at the Industrial Farm. His trademark during his tour of duty was versa­ tility. At one time or another he worked practically every correctional officer assign­ ment the facility has to offer: watch command­ er on both night shifts, and supervising inmate work crews in building maintenance, farm equipment repair, various farming operations such as irrigating, growing vegetables, har­ vesting hay, and feeding and general care of the cattle herd. Oral was a rancher and enthusiastic horse­ man before entering Department service, and he has maintained that interest. Now that he has retired he stays busy caring for and riding his hort;('s. and working his small farm. BOSTON RANCH CO. STAR ROUTE 2, BOX 100 LEMOORE, CALIFORNIA 187 Captain G.

A native of Arizona, he came to California as a young man. and began his career in February of 1952 as a patrolman on the Mendota Police Department. In May of 1955 he went to Fire­ baugh as Chief of Police. where he remained until January of 1961, when he succeeded the late Al Lopez as constable of the Firebaugh Judicial District. He served in that capacity until January of 1973, when the constables in Fresno County were consolidated with the Sheriff's Department. At that time he was appointed sergeant and placed in charge of Department patrol operations in the Fire­ baugh-Mendota area. Sgt.

Much of his time is spent in assisting in the types of processes he so graphically describes. Deep in the bowels of the Sheriff's Depart­ ment Crime Laboratory there lurks a hideous stench so bad that even the dullest of senses responds. What is this odor? Could it be that the sewage lines are backed up? Perhaps a criminologist has curled up in the environment he knows best, and inadvertently passed on to that Crime Lab in the sky. LINDA VISTA FARMS RIVERDALE Actually, it is neither. The foul smell that stimulates the olfactory lobes comes from the pressure cooking of urine samples. And, if the visitor to the lab is lucky, he really doesn't get the full effect. Thanks to a very efficient fume hood, 95% of the odor is exhausted from a vent on the roof. However, should the hood someday break, everyone in the building will know it immediately. Urine being hydrolyzed is just one of the many steps involved in the enforcement of the Fresno County Sheriff's Department Crime Impact Program, initiated Jast March to run as a pilot program for the remainder of the 1976 DON'S LIQUOR THE FINEST IN WINES -BEER -LIQUOR 834-2715 204 No. 8th St. Fowler AIR FLOW [EXCELSIOR PRODUCTS DIVISION OF F-D-S MANUFACTURING CO., INC.

L..____________...,...­____.I 191 calendar year, to determine the effectiveness of the program in reducing crimes against property, primarily burglaries. I n the investigation of property crimes such as burglaries, the herion addict becomes a prime suspect. In 1975 the number of burglaries reported to the department (not in­ cluding auto burglaries) totaled 5,841. for an average of 486 per month. In 1976, a total of 5,749 burglaries ,vere reported, an average of 479 per month, and a decreaseofabout2%. This seemingly slight decrease is very significant in view of the fact that a substantial increase was anticipated, based upn past experience and the National Crime Statistics published by the F.B.I. Because of the success of the pilot program a greatly expanded program was developed for the 1977 calendar year, bringing together other police agencies in Fresno County in order to establish a much broader attack on the heroin addict. And, with continued positive efforts the outlook for 1977 is an even greater decrease in the number of burglaries in Fresno County. Would you cringe to find that the $1,000 stereo and television stolen from your home was fenced by an addict for about $IOO?-just enough money to buy ten balloons of herion, containing about ten milligrams of heroin per balloon. An addict must therefore commit a lot of burglaries and thefts in order to support his habit. That is why, pursuant to section 11550 of the Health and Safety Code, a program was ini­ tiated in an effort to get the drug addict off the streets. This section states that: No person shall use, or be under the influence of any controlled substance which is specified Un earlier sections) ..... Any person convicted of violating any provision of this section is guilty of amisdemeanor and shall be sentenced to serve a term of not less than 90 days nor more than one year in the county jail ..... In no event does the court have the power to absolve a person who violates this section from the obligatiol1 of spending at least 90 days in confine­ ment in the county jail. This means that an addict will not be out committing burglaries while sentenced to jail. If one addict is confined for a single 90-day period, then there will be as many as 90 fewer burglaries committed. 192 H. P. METZLER & SONS, INC.

The urine is the dark liquid on the top and the extraction solvent is clear liquid on the bottom. 193 The urine test plays an important role in identifying the addict, for it is the test that determines whether or not a person has a con­ trolled substance in his or her body. When a person is arrested for suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance, the suspect is interviewed by a detective specially trained in recognizing body reactions to light stimulus and general motor reactions. After the suspect is advised of and waives his Miran­ da rights, the detective checks the response of the pupils to light, the appearance of the pupils (constricted, normal, dilated) and the appearance of the eyelids (drooping, closing). He also looks for any somnolence, rubbing of the face, continued thirst, or scratching of the body. The suspect's arms are checked for needle markings (commonly known a s "tracks") and tie-off bruises. He is asked how long he has been using heroin, when did he last fix, and how much did he use. A urine sample is voided by the suspect and placed into evidence by the detective. The urine extract is spotted on two Silica-Gel Thin Layer Chromatography plates as a liquid and is allowed to dry. The numbers identify the origin of the specimen. The urine, as stated, is the only positive method to prove that a person was under the influence of a controlled substance. Heroin, being a derivative of morphine, is metabolised by the body and excreted in the urine as mor­ phine. The actual testing involves taking the urine sample and assigning it a number that identifies it. The urine is then pressure cooked (mixed with a bit of hydrolyzed acid) to break a strong bond with morphine which conjugates in urine. After being hydrolyzed the urine is 194 AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK 2357 West Tahoe, Caruthers, California 93609 (209) 864-3286 Melvin E.

After rigorous agitation the urine and solvent separate into layers with the morphine now being in the solvent. The solvent is drained off into a beaker. A second extrac­ tion is made from the funnel after ammonia is added. This extraction will bring codiene, demerol, methadone and other drugs down into the solvent if present in the urine. This is also drained into the beaker, and the combined solvent extracts are allowed to evaporate. Once evaporated, all that remains is the drug mater­ ial. The detection of the drug is made by a pro­ cess called Thin-Layer Chromotography. The residue from the urine is spotted in a concen­ trated form onto a glass plate that has a thin layer of silica gel on it. The plate is placed into a glass tank containing a mixture of solvents. The solvent runs up the plate, and takes the different drugs with it at different stages. After the solvent has run about 15 centimeters, the plate is removed and dried.

These samples (usually the chemist's) are treated as if they were suspected of containing a drug. One is without any drug; and the other is spiked with a prepared solution of four drugs used as positive controls in determining the final results. In the year 1976, 480 urine samples were tested for drugs. 53% tested positive to mor­ phine. With results such as that, the odor created is bearable. Following development and visualization, the re­ sults are interpreted from the T.L.C. plate as follows: in the vertical column above the letter "B" no color­ ed spots should appear; in the vertical column above the letters "SID" a series of spots should appear; in the vertical column above the letter "C" colored spots should appear which are the same distance up the plate as the spots above "SID," a spot above one of the numbers (see above number 69) of the same color and at the same distance up the plate identifies the presence of asubstance; and if this occurs on both plates the substance is identi­ fied.
