Freed By Jury

Charles S. "Pat'' Patterson, for
mcr FL Centre traffic officer, was
found not guilty of assault by
Jury in the superior court of San
Diego county Saturday afternoon.
The verdict was returned after the
iErv had dclibcratcd an hour. Three
others indicted by the grand jury
were declared not guilty at the same
time, the court having instructed
the Jury to bring in such a verdict.
One charge, that of assault under
cloak of authority, still remains
against Patterson and it was belleV-
I'd this might be dismissed.
Patterson was employed here for
several months few years ago and
made many friends during his stay
in FL Centre. His reputation at that
time was that he was anything but
"hard .boiled,' and he was consid
cred extremely courteous to motor
lists.

were made in Chula Vista where hd

HOlcomb Pays
Visit Here

An interesting and an interested
visitor at the chamber Of commerce
headquarters recently was Grant
Holcomb, president of the San Ber-
nardino chamber of commerce. Hol-
comb is a prominent attorney of
that place and was formerly mayor
of the city. He expressed himself
as being much impressed with FL
Centro's growth and development
since his last visit, and with the
many improvements apparent.
The visitor is much interested in
good roads throughout the state, and
desired details regarding the pro-
posed short route to Laguna noun
tains. Holcomb declared that the
mountain resorts in San Bcrnardino
county contribute very materially
to the wealth and well being Of the
city and the surrounding territory.
They regard the tourist travel to
the mountain and forest resorts of
the county as the equivalent i'll inn
portancc and value of any of the

A .STIEE SENTENCE

England has courts which accustomed 70 deal
with awbreakerS with good deal of severity. There
are few suspended sentences there and result
is that England has far less crime than the United
States.

REAL MYSTERY

The American public, fed on detective stories Tor
years, dotes newspaper stories of crime IN which
there is mystery. The famous ElWel murder case,
for instance aroused unprecedented attention. simply
because every reader could let his imagination play as
to the identity of the murderer.
Even strange. however, is the death of Miss
Efreda Knaak was found fatally burned in the base
ment of the empty police station beside the furnace
To the of her death she insisted that she had
thrust her own body into the furnace to test her
psychic love- for married man.
The explanation seems incredible. The feat seems
impossible of accomplishment and the motive seems
grotesquey inadequate. Yet the police have absolute
" no clues to indicate that anyone else involved
and indeed if the girl had been attacked, why would
she not have said so?
The thing is as mysterious anything any nov
elist ever imagined
