BACKS TROUTMAN KAULBARS 291 NORTH LEMON ST. • KEYSTONE 5-1149 Orange County's First Funeral Directors Sheriff, Police Nab Shooting Suspect in NB By Orange County News Service A 26-year-old Maywood man who allegedly shot a store owner in the stomach Monday evening following a gun battle, has been apprehended by members of the Sheriff's Department and Newport Beach police. He is 26-year-old R. D. Dearman, 5316 Atlantic, who was picked up by officers yesterday afternoon as he attempted to flee out the rear of an apartment at 1927 W. Balboa, Newport Beach. The lawmen, who stood by the front and rear doors of the apartment, first banged on the front entrance. As they were about to break in, the defendant tried to escape by the rear exit. Officers were there waiting for him. Dearman is said to have shot Peyton Parrott, 60, owner of a small store at 78065 Atlantic, north of Bell. The suspect allegedly tried to hold the store at gunpoint, first making contact with the victim's daughter, Irene. The woman reportedly called to her father, who came out with a .38 caliber pistol in his hand. Following an exchange of fire, the storeowner was hit in the stomach. The suspect also is said to have hit the woman prior to firing at Parrott. Still clutching his stomach, the victim chased the bandit and fired at him as he fled on foot. Parrott is in serious condition. Sheriff's investigators said they staged their little raid following a "tip". The Maywood man, a former Marine, will be turned over to Los Angeles authorities. While searching the suspect, investigators found a pistol strapped into a Godfrey Off Television, Faces Chest Surgery (Continued From Page 1) some kind of a tumor In the chest. Hopes It's Benign "We don't know what it is. Of course, you never do until you operate and go in and get it out and find out; and that's what we are gonna have to do next week. And I will be absent from these airwaves for a couple of months, I'm afraid, because chest surgery, you know, is not minor and it takes a little while for you to get back on your feet. "But, if you keep your fingers crossed, I think I'll be back with you again one day... If we have some of the wondrous luck which has shadowed all of my life, this thing may be benign.

Man from Anaheim Admits 26 Burglaries (Continued From Page 1) removed the hinge pins from a walk-in safe and would probably have gotten the door off had the alarm not rung. Officers left the office without finding Landry, who then also left by a rear window, making his way to his car where he was subsequently arrested. Back at the station police began comparing notes and decided Landry was their man. Under questioning—he had mud on his shoes and left marks on the window—he broke down and confessed to the attempted burglary. He further confessed to the others which have left police of four cities in the dark. Landry said that he was unable Escaped Convicts Hold Woman For Six Hours By ROBERT STRAND United Press International SAN QUENTIN, Calif. (UPI)—A woman held for six terror-filled hours by two escaped convicts who threatened to slash her throat holds no grudge. "I don't think they would really have killed me," Mrs. Louise Gschwend, 53, said Tuesday night. She described the escapees from San Quentin Prison; who surrendered meekly to guards, as "just scared kids." "I hope they get a break," she said. Mrs. Gschwend and a fishing companion, Douglas Harrison, 59, were grabbed as hostages Tuesday morning as the prisoners ran over a low hill and onto a T-shaped pier with guards in close pursuit. The convicts, Billy Joe Wright, 26, and William D. Werner, 24, scooped up Mrs. Gschwend's fishing knife and threatened to kill the hostages if the guards came on the pier. A battle of nerves developed. Police, prison guards and Coast Guard vessels surrounded the pier but held their ground to protect the hostages. Finally the convicts released Harrison to act as a go-between with the guards. The break in the stalemate came when authorities agreed to permit the prisoners to talk to newsmen in return for a promise of surrender. The newsmen were authorized to meet with Wright and Werner on the pier. During a brief inter Theft of Murder SANTA ANA (OCNS) Grove Police Department tense drama taking place Gardner.

Cabot Performing Animal Show was a carnival or something more innocuous, City Council approved a special use permit submitted by Vice President of the Mayfair Markets, John Irwin, for the show to be set up and operate on the parking lot of the Mayfair store sometime in the near future. Council showed some anxiety as to the type of show that would be staged. Irwin and Cabot both assured Council that this show was designed as an advertising promotional activity, featuring mainly animal acts, including Margle, the smallest performing elephant alive (42 inches high), the Liberty Ponies, and a band of performing chimpanzees. A Mother Goose Menagerie was also mentioned. Other entertainment would consist of a "fun area" where "atmospheric games" and rides would be found. The Cabot show originated in the KTLA TV program, "Circus," and has played at numerous area markets in the past. Weather Roundup TIDES FOR APRIL U. S.

Wright was serving six months to 15 years, Werner five years to life. Marin County Dist. Atty. William O. Welssich promised the convicts he would not prosecute them for the escape. But he pointed out later he could be overruled by the state attorney general, and said "They sure will stay in prison for much longer terms."

Jacob of the Garden Grove Police Department added a touch of humor to an otherwise dense drama taking place in the court of Superior Judge Robert Gardner. Defendant in a jury trial is 42-year-old Frieda K. Dickson of Garden Grove, charged with the murder of her husband. Jacob, called to the witness stand, was questioned about notes he had taken during the investigation of the fatal shooting. The officer explained that he had lost them. Pushing the issue further, Jacob was asked to explain how by the prosecuting attorney. Slightly embarrassed, the officer said he lost them in Santa Ana. To be exact, the notes were in a briefcase in a patrol car. The briefcase was stolen. A report was made to the Santa Ana Police Department. What caused the slightly red face was the fact that the car was parked in front of the Orange County Sheriff's Department when the theft occurred. The officer's answer produced laughter from the audience and jury, even a smile from the accused. Judge Gardner called a recess. Rosoto Denies Part in Holdup Of South Seas By Orange County News Service John Rosoto, a 37-year-old Taoma, Washington, man, charged with the armed robbery of the south Seas Cafe in Anaheim two years ago, took the witness stand yesterday afternoon and strongly denied any part in the crime, claiming he was at a party with his wife and friends, the night of the offense.

Reason for the change in plans is to meet jointly with the Finance and Legal Committee who are to report on their findings on the Capital Improvement Program at the same time in Council Chambers. Overall problems of financing the recommended improvements—police station, fire sub-stations, etc—will be discussed, and an attempt made to establish priority. The Finance and Legal Committee is the final one of the Citizens Committees to meet, and their recommendations will pass to the City Council for action. Water District Problems Told To Supervisors SANTA ANA (OCNS) — County Supervisors have been called upon to arbitrate a difference of opinion between the county finance director and the superintendent of Water Works District No. 7. The question is whether the district is collecting its delinquent bills, and whether customers should put up deposits. The small district, which comprises the Freeway Park section of Anaheim, serves only 189 customers. Its superintendent is Alvin Baker. Questions concerning the district's operation were raised by the 1958 Grand Jury. In a letter to Supervisors, Superintendent Baker said that he has discontinued his practice of not demanding payment of delinquent water bills around Christmas, holidays, Easter, or when car licenses are due. His letter and a letter from Larry Oxley, county finance director, were presented Tuesday to Supervisors. Oxley recommended that more stringent controls be kept upon delinquent accounts, and that new customers be required to post a deposit before receiving water service. Baker's letter said that he didn't feel that delinquent accounts were above normal, and that handling of the service deposits would constitute a bookkeeping problem. Supervisors decided that the matter should be resolved by setting up uniform procedures for the several water districts in the county. John Rosoto, a 37-year-old Taoma, Washington man, charged with the armed robbery of the South Seas Cafe in Anaheim two years ago, took the witness stand yesterday afternoon and strongly denied any part in the crime, claiming he was at a party with his wife and friends, the night of the offense. Rosoto, who works as a cook on fishing boat, is the defendant in a jury trial being heard in the court of Superior Judge Karl Lynn Davis. He is accused of participating in an armed robbery at the establishment with two other men. Owner of the cafe was the late Leslie Simpson, who was slain in February by an unknown gunman on front of his home. The defendant, a small man who weighs about 130 pounds and is about 5-1, told the jury extradition proceedings against him were dismissed in Washington following a hearing, however, when he learned there was still a "want" on him by Anaheim police, he claims he backed his bags and family and came back to California. He reportedly gave himself up to authorities. "I only wanted to clear my name," he told the jury. Questioned about his activities the night of the robbery, Rosoto told of a party he attended with his wife and close friends in Highland Park. He denied any part in the crime. Rosoto was identified after the robbery by Simpson and his wife, Fern, through photographs shown them by Anaheim police. Mrs. Simpson, who lost both hands in the same shooting which killed her husband, positively identified Rosoto as one of the men who entered the South Seas March 9, 1957. Anaheim Fire Station Bids Called by City A resolution calling for bids on construction of new fire sub-station number four for May 21 was passed by the City Council at last night's meeting.
