B. Brown, Judge Anaheim, Calif. Dear Sir: Since the recent meeting of the Governors of the several States of the United States of America in which they took the position that a strict enforcement of law was necessary in order to the actual preservation of our country our attention has been called to the state of affairs which exist in our own city. We write this open letter because of your unqualified antagonism to certain of our laws. This need not hinder your enthusiastic enforcement of them, but we believe the facts as given, which are only a few which may be easily obtained, indicate that it does actually work to that end. Let us compare your record covering the months of August, September, and October of this year. Any other months would be as fair. Your record during August is as follows: CITY RECORDER 1 Cases of drunkenness, fines collected $ 75.00 Since the recent meeting of the Governors of the several States of the United States of America in which they took the position that a strict enforcement of law was necessary in order to the actual preservation of our country our attention has been called to the state of affairs which exist in our own city. We write this open letter because of your unqualified antagonism to certain of our laws. This need not hinder your enthusiastic enforcement of them, but we believe the facts as given, which are only a few which may be easily obtained, indicate that it does actually work to that end. Let us compare your record covering the months of August, September, and October of this year. Any other months would be as fair. Your record during August is as follows: CITY RECORDER 1 Cases of drunkenness, fines collected $75.00 2 Cases vs. Motor Vehicle act; fines collected 20.00 Miscellaneous cases; fines collected 28.00 Justice of Peace 115.00 Total $238.00 The above does not consider the $300.00 suspended fine. How does this compare with the record made in other towns: Fullerton for August $4228.00 Santa Ana 4516.00 Your record during September is as follows: 1 Cases of drunkenness $85.00 19 Cases vs. Motor V. Act 150.00 Miscellaneous 75.00 Total $310.00 How does this compare with the other sister towns: Fullerton $3442.00 Santa Ana 4293.00 Your record during October is as follows: 1 Case of drunkenness $25.00 30 Cases vs. Motor Vehicle act 235.00 Miscellaneous cases twelve in number 4 12.00 Total $272.00 How does this compare with Fullerton and Santa Ana? Fullerton during October $3328.00 Santa Ana during October 4645.00 The above records, so far as your court is concerned, was given to our investigator by yourself. Upon his request that you sign your name to it and thus O. K. it you refused to do so. Why? You also upon his inquiry stated that this represented practically all the arrests that had been made during this time. Our investigator visited the police department to verify this statement but not finding anyone in that office returned in the evening. His visit in the morning was made about 10 o'clock. In the evening the police department stated that sometime between ten o'clock and in the morning and twelve the records of arrests made were stolen off the book and to this date have not been recovered. However, this felonious act does not remove the records. It is a matter of fact that during September 100 arrests were made by the Motor vehicle officer alone instead of 19 as per your report. The assessment of a minimum time would have netted $1000. During October there were 60 arrests of violators of the Motor vehicle act instead of thirty as your report gives. Witnesses state that they have seen red cards by the dozen torn up and thrown into your spittoon or onto your waste paper basket. Even while our investigator was talking with you, Officer Stump came in and said: "Your honor, have just arrested two men for fighting on the street. When shall I bring them into court?" You replied, "What did you do that for? Why didn't you let them fight?" Is this a fair sample if your regard for peace and order and law enforcement? Your records show that the only reasonable fine assessed against a bootleger was in the case of a fine of $300.00 but they also show that afterwards and privately you suspended that fine. Why? Another fine of $109.00 was made but is not to this day fully paid. Why? If your records were an actual record of the actual facts as they are we would all be mighty proud that in our town we had no opportunity to make any arrests while in wicked Santa Ana and Fullerton people had an evil tendency. But your wholesale dismissal of cases regardless of their merit actually places the public in danger. Just recently a boy was run into and hurled to the ground and the motor driver went right on without stopping, a citizen interested himself in this outrage and had the man brought back. Without even a fair inquiry into the matter youurned him loose without punishment. Why? The case of city vs. Sheriff's Deputies And Local Police Join Extensive Manhunt Armed with rifles and sawed off shotguns most of the deputies of Sheriff Sam Jernigan's office today were in a party which "held up" a Lackard bus San Diego bound on which they had heard were the man and woman who murdered one policeman and shot another in Los Angeles last night. The Sheriff's office acted on a tip from the detective bureau of the Los Angeles Police Department, but the tip proved wrong, and the slayers now are believed to be still in Los Angeles, waiting for things to get quiet. The descriptions furnished the deputies here was of a man named Ed Carlton, 22, and a girl named Johnston. The former was described as five feet, nine inches tall, weighing 160 pounds and having a round, full face, light hair and wearing a dark shirt. The latter had black hair, were a gold lace hat and carried a wicker suit case. The Packard bus in question was the one leaving Los Angeles at 6:30 a.m. The "hold-up" at the Chapman-st bridge took place at 8 a.m. The deputies declared that the woman's hat was exactly like that one described, and the pair would easily have answered the description. The man and woman, whose names are withheld, were respectable whites and had no connection with the crime. The deputies in the "holp-up" were McClellan, Ryan, Wilson, Scott and Adams. Police throut the County are aliding Los Angeles-so in trying to catch the murders. The Anaheim police this morning posted themselves at North Palm and the State highway and the Santa Ana and other forces are covering their own localities. Officer Robert E. McGee of Los Angeles was the victim, and Detective Lieutenant Luke was shot twice and may die. Officer E. G. Brown believes he hit one of the would be burglars as they fled. One of the party of burglaries was a woman as indicated They entered or tried to enter the home of J.W. Chilres at 913 Irohn-st in the Wibshire district. He took no chances, but ran to a bureau, took out his pistol and shot twice at the fear door. From a window he saw two men and a woman Your records show that the only reasonable fine assessed against a bootleger was in the case of a fine of $300.00 but they also show that afterwards and privately you suspended that fine. Why? Another fine of $109.00 was made but is not to this day fully paid. Why? If your records were an actual record of the actual facts as they are we would all be mighty proud that in our town we had no opportunity to make any arrests while in wicked Santa Ana and Fullerton people had an evil tendency. But your wholesale dismissal of cases regardless of their merit actually places the public in danger. Just recently a boy was run into and hurled to the ground and the motor driver went right on without stopping. A citizen interested himself in this outrage and had the man brought back. Without even a fair inquiry into the matter you burned him loose without punishment. Why? The case of city vs. Mrs. Bottle Woodworth., alias Ityan, alias Gleason, where four policemen with Mr. C. F. Holt searched her premises and among the evidence sought for and found was also found a suitcase full of about fifty pint whiskey bottles filled with liquor. She was arrested and confined in the county jail for a few days and then brought before our court together with the evidence and you were informed of the suitcase of whiskey. This was on the 24th day of September. You dismissed the case on the grounds of insufficient evidence. Kindly inform this community just what would be sufficient. In Fullerton enough to analyze is considered sufficient so the justice there informs us. These cases are a few of the many cases which are reported to us. We are told by men in a position to know that our police department is made a laughing stock. The District Attorney's office is withdrawing all criminal cases from the justice court of Anaheim in account of incompetence, so we are informed. In view of the record as made by yourself if there were nothing left but the statistics from which to judge, it seems that our citizenship is justified in requesting your resignation. There are several who feel that the city council is backing you in the obvious degree of inefficiency and that they would discharge you if you did your duty. If this is true you would contribute to the general welfare by so stating. Certainly the council is perfectly aware of the conditions as they exist and therefore cannot escape their share of the blame. Yours Sincerely, MYERS MEN'S BIBLE CLASS MOROS QUIETED MANILA, Nov. 22.—Filipino constabulary under Major Fora is completely broken up the rebellious band of Moros under Santa Santiago after several days pursuit thru the Cotabato-Lanao Hills in Mindanao province, according to word reaching here his afternoon. Three constabularymen are known to have been killed and the losses of the Moro fanatics have been heavy. No details of the successful completion of the campaign have yet been received. KILLED IN FEUD SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 22.—Bitter feuds centering around the fishing privileges of the Santa Barbara islands have claimed another victim in the reported murder of Augusti Howard, San Pedro fisherman, who is said to have met his death early this week on the lonely, wild coast of San Miguel Island during a battle between rival fishing crews for certain favored grounds. Officers are seeking to uncover his slayer but have run up against an impenetrable silence on the part of the fishing crews who refuse all information and who privately say they prefer to "settle their own accounts." Officer Robert E. McGee of Los Angeles was the victim, and Detective Lieutenant Luke was shot twice and may die. Officer E. G. Brown believes he hit one of the would be burglars as they fled. One of the party of burglars was a woman, as indicated. They entered or tried to enter the home of J. W. Chilres at 913 Iroloast in the Wilshire district. He took no chances, but ran to a bureau, took out his plaster and shot twice at the rear door. From a window he saw two men and a woman fleeing. Then he notified the Wilshire police station and three officers cause. Chilres told them he was certain the trio were in the house next door. They entenced on the ground floor and found nobody, but when they started up the stairs several shots were fired. DRAGNET FOR 3 BANDIT SLAYERS LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.—A police dragnet was thrown over So.

Soon after the gun battle Julia Johnson, 19, a pretty blonde, was arrested on suspicion of being a member of the bandit gang. The girl was well armed when arrested. The officers had been called to the Childress home after Childress had discovered two men and a girl trying to enter his home. Later he switched lights on the bandits, who led to the J. C. Belding residence, next door, turned on all the downstairs lights and proceeded to loot the place. McGee and Luke arrived at the Belding home first and surprised the robbers, who fled upstairs with the officers following. A shower of shots greeted the (Continued on page eight)
