EUREKA, Calf, July IL.
Through the mountainous regions of
northern California, posses from four
counties today pressed on the trail
of three bandit murderers.
Rloodhounds were brought in TO
aid the force of more than 200 men
deployed through the area in which
the bandits were believed hiding.
Officers here questioned two negro
men and a negro woman held as
possible accomplices of the outlaws
who killed Charles w. Carpenter,
40, deputy sheriff and seriously
wounded Oscar Hayward, 30, an
other deputy sheriff, early yester-
day.
One of the bandit gang, believed
to be Rolling Maringer, y, was
killed in the gun fight with the
Officers who attempted to stop them
at Burnt Ranch after they had rob.
bed the postoffice and general store
at Willow Creek.
Three bandits fled in an automo-
bile from the scene of the fight,
throwing the body of their dead COM
panion out by the roadside.
A short time later one of tho
three leaped from the ear ana ran
away in the woods, while the other
two drove on. Near Helena they
tossed kit of burglar tools and the
license plate from their ear.
Last night the car was trailed to
the mouth of Canyon Creek Canyon,
where travel by automobile was
possible for only a few miles.
Officers directing the search were
convinced the bandits abandoned
the car under cover of darkness
and were attempting to make their
way on foot through the heavy
timber to a point of security.
The license plates of the ear,
number 949-230, was checked with
state officials and found to have
been issued to Mrs. Nellie Hellman,
negress who formerly lived in
Fresno.
Officers believed the three aided
the four bandits who actually COM
mitted the robbery in preparation
of the crime.
The four men who raided the gen.
cral store and pOstoffiee at Willow
Creek carried off the safe contain
ing approximately $4,000, accord
ing to the estimate of Frank Gra-
ham, manager.

TRANSCRIPT OF
CHARGES AGAINST
SHERIFF FILED
Lengthy Document Holds
Evidence of Probe By
Grand Jury.

In lengthy transcript, filling
/ 800 typewriter pages, the evidenc@
entered in the investigation con-
Quoted by the 1927 urand jury
into the county Jail situation and
the conduct of Sheriff c. l.. Gillctt
was filed at the county clerk 5 Of
flee shortly before noon today.
The transcript shows that in its
inquiry, the jury heard the testi-
mony of some 80 witnesses and went
thoroughly into every detail re-
garding the county jail.
1t shows that in beginning the
investigation the jury was merely
making inquiry into the reason why
the sheriff and the board of super
visors could not come to more
amicable settlement Of the question
of feeding prisoners at the county
iail; that the investigation finally
led into a thorough probe and that
an accounting was finally found
necessary.
The evidence alleges that Sheriff
Gillett used freely for his own per
sonal interests, funds which had
been placed with him as trust funds
Having two bank accounts, one in
his own name and one as G. l.. Gil
lett, sheriff.
The allegation is that the money
held in trust by the sheriff was
placed in the latter account anC
that upon several occasions this ac
count was overdrawn. The report of
the auditors is to the effect that
this money, which it is held that
the sheriff had no right to touch
was used freely by the sheriff in
writing personal checks as well as
in paying off monies due to those
for whom it was held in trust.
The auditors further hold that the
sheriff s account, personal, at times
was ovcrdrawn and that on these
occasions he wrote checks against
the other account to cover the over.
draft.
In summing up it is pointed oui
that the fact that the trust fund
account was overdrawn shows that
the funds was mishandled.

Then it became known that he

he desired to return, just as he de-

mother. He made plans to fly back
to Mexico.
Bad weather delayed the flight.
Finally Thursday night Carranza
looked out at stormy skies and sud

his wife. He ordered his Ryan

In his pocket he had telegram
from the weather bureau saying
tAat flying conditions were bad.
