THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street VOL. LXVIII Grand Jury Will Study Pamphlet Case Testimony Sheriff Suspends McKelvey Until "Fools Rush In" Facts Disclosed Two major developments this week marked the investigation into the political pamphlet, "Fools Rush In," which rocked the county shortly before the primary election. Sheriff Logan Jackson announced suspension of Deputy G. F. McKelvey until such time as the case is cleared up. Superior Judge James L. Allen called the grand jury to investigate the pamphlet. Deputy Sheriff McKelvey has been frequently mentioned in the case. He has made no official statement since Sheriff Jackson issued his statement announcing the deputy's suspension. Deputy Suspended Jackson's statement: "I have this day (Tuesday) suspended G. F. McKelvey from duty as a deputy in my office, pending a full and complete investigation of all matters connected with the printing of a certain anonymous pamphlet. This is done because Orville Collins Hurt in Crash in Oklahoma Orville Collins, en route with his wife to their former home in Custer City, Okla., was seriously injured last Friday in an automobile accident in Gallant, Okla., it was learned here this week. The Anaheim man suffered fractures of both legs when he was struck by an automobile while repairing his own car on the roadside, it was reported. Collins is a nephew of Jerry Nesmith, 309 N. Resh street, where he made his residence about three years. West Holds Lead Over Judge Allen Partial Count of Absentee Votes Leaves Standings In Race Unchanged Incomplete count of absentee ballots last night gave indication that the standing of candidates in the two races for superior court judships in Orange county would not be altered. About one-third of the approximately 550 absentee votes remained to be counted today. James L. Allen, seeking re-trial of Sheriff in Fee Case will Start October 3 Sheriff Wins Argument Over Bill of Particulars in Court Last Friday Presiding Judge James L. Allen last Tuesday set October 3 at the date for trial of the $100,000 suit against Logan Jackson. At the same time an argument was taking place before Superior Judge Homer G. Ames regarding a bill of particulars sought by Judge Frank Drumm, counsel for Sheriff Jackson and submitted by Edgar B. Hervey, special attorney for the county board of supervisors. Judge Ames sustained an objection by Drumm insofar that he required Hervey to specify dates between which he alleges Jackson has illegally retained some $100,000 in fees, profits from feeding prisoners and proceeds from operation of a canteen in the county jail. Drumm had demanded that every item and date of receipt be included in the bill of particulars Hervey was given 10 days to file his amended bill. In his decision, Judge Amer ruled that Hervey must specify during what period the county Deputy Suspended Jackson's statement: "I have this day (Tuesday) suspended G. F. McKelvey from duty as a deputy in my office, pending a full and complete investigation of all matters connected with the printing of a certain anonymous pamphlet. This is done because Mr. McKelvey's name has been connected with taking a transcript from the district attorney's office in Las Angeles, on August 9 last. "I have absolutely no personal knowledge whatsoever regarding the printing of this pamphlet, nor do I have any knowledge or belief that Mr. McKelvey is connected in any manner with either of these pamphlets, but until the whole matter has been thoroughly cleared, I believe the interests of the public are best served by this suspension." In announcing his order summoning the grand pury, Judge Allen said he had "received reports that certain evidence has been furnished the law enforcement officers, but that no steps has been taken." Action Approved District Attorney W. F. Menton denied the suggestion he had "evidence" and added, "I welcome the chance of putting the case before the grand jury, and we can use it as a vehicle to press our investigation. Through the grand jury, we can subpoena witnesses and compel testimony that witnesses otherwise would not have to give." "Fools Rush In" has been a center of controversy throughout the county for several weeks. Three persons were arrested and pleaded guilty to distributing the pamphlet in Fullerton and La Habra and two others were arrested for printing the booklet. They were charged with criminal libel and will have preliminary hearing in Fullerton next week. Boosters Discuss Plans for Dinner Discussion of plans for the annual banquet of the Anaheim chamber of commerce featured the meeting of the board of directors. Votes Leaves Standings In Race Unchanged Incomplete count of absentee ballots last night gave indication that the standing of candidates in the two races for superior court judeshhips in Orange county would not be altered. About one-third of the approximately 550 absentee votes remained to be counted today. James L. Allen, seeking re-election to department two of the court, appeared today to be definitely eliminated. He was able to gain only six votes in his race for second place with Franklin G. West, Santa Ana attorney. Justice of the Peace Kenneth E. Morrison lead the field of three by a wide margin. The incomplete count added 90 votes to Allen's total, 84 for West and 100 for Morrison. Allen's total last night was 12,338 to 12,505 for West. Davis Holds Lead James L. Davis, who held a comfortable lead over James B. Tucker in the contest for the right to face Judge Homer G. Ames in the department one race prior to counting of the absentee votes, lengthened his lead in the incomplete count. Davis was given 61 votes, four more than Tucker, and he appeared certain to win a place on the November ballot. He had a margin of almost 70 votes which meant that Tucker would have to make a clean sweep of the votes to be counted today in order to qualify. An unusually large number of precinct officials were summoned by County Clerk Basil J. Smith during the past week to explain errors in counting of votes. No changes of any importance were made as the result of the corrected tallies. Burglary Suspect Must Face Trial Ralph Grijeva, arrested last Thursday a charge of burglary under the name of Ralph Reheva, must answer to that charge in superior court. Information against the suspect will be filed in depart- two of the superior court tomorrow. Preliminary examination of Grijeva was conducted before City Judge Frank Tausch Saturday morning at the conclusion of October 3 was set as the trial date in spite of objections by Hervey, who said that the date was too close at hand. Drumm, however, was pleased because he wanted an early trial in view of Sheriff Jackson's contention that the suit was politically-inspired to defeat him for reelection. Telephone Topic of Kiwanis Talk Kiwanians from Fullerton joined with those from Anaheim for a combined meeting Tuesday at the Anaheim Elks clubhouse and heard a talk on the development of communications by Dean T. Smith, Los Angeles telephone company representative. Smith was introduced by Louis Morris of Fullerton. The speaker told of development of the telephone. He was stationed in Kansas when the first transcontinental telephone conversation took place between Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson. Smith listened to the conversation. The next frontier the industry conquered was that of trans-oceanic communication which reached its climax in 1937 when the first radio-oceanic telephone was established. The speaker also touched on television and artificial reproduction of the human voice. Two vocal solos were offered by Boosters Discuss Plans for Dinner Discussion of plans for the annual banquet of the Anaheim chamber of commerce featured the meeting of the board of directors this noon. President Harry C. Arthur, Sr., reported that he has virtually closed negotiations for the speaker and expects to be able to announce his name by next week. The matter of the menu was left in the hands of Bob Mills, Elks clubhouse chef, who promised an outstanding dinner. Reservations will be limited to 350 persons at the request of Mills, who said that satisfactory service cannot be given a larger group. Some discussion was held regarding a resolution adopted by the Santa Monica-Ocean Park chamber of commerce in opposition to the single-tax measure, with the matter being referred to the legislative committee. Motorist Charged With Drunk Driving Vincent Morales, Jr., 28, Atwood, chose a poor time and place for an argument last Sunday. His manner became so ungentlemanly during the argument with a woman that officers, who had seen him drive his car to the curb in front of the police station, investigated. They then arrested Morales on a charge of driving while drunk. Morales was later released under bond of $100 to appear in Anaheim city court on September 6 at 9 o'clock. Ralph Grijeva, arrested last Thursday, a charge of burglary under the name of Ralph Reheva, must answer to that charge in superior court. Information against the suspect will be filed in depart-two of the superior court tomorrow. Preliminary examination of Grijeva was conducted before City Judge Frank Tausch Saturday morning, at the conclusion of which he was bound over to superior court. The suspect was arrested when officers were called to a service station at the corner of Los Angeles and La Palma streets to apprehend a man assertedly attempting to enter the station. He was taken into custody at Los Angeles and North streets and subsequent investigation led officers to believe he was the person who earlier in the night burglarized the Curran auto wrecking establishment at 1194 N. Los Angeles street. Rites Held Tuesday For J. A. Laughlin Funeral services for John Albert Laughlin, 10, were conducted Tuesday afternoon from the Hilgenfeld funeral home.
