Enough Evidence to Blow
Up LA. City Hail.
Says Officer

LOS ANGELES, Jan. Is.
(UP)-Near death from the
explosion of an assassin's
bomb in his automobile, Har-
ry Raymond, a private de-
tective employed by crusading citi-
zens to prey on the underworld,
lapsed into a coma today after
saying that he had enough secret
evidence to blow the tower off
the city hall"
An armed guard was posted out
side his hospital room and an
other at his home to protect his
wife, Mrs. Beulah Raymond.
His attorney. A. Brigham Rose,
left his bedside late last night.
The Daily News, in copyrighted
story, said that Rose Immediately
messaged agents in New York, Sc
attic and San Diego, to come here
at once with the evidence Raymond
had secreted with them.
Raymond had hidden his evi-
dence in other cities fearing that
il would be destroyed here, the
newspaper said.
Raymond had been employed by
Clifford E. Clinton, who served
on the county grand jury in 1887
and was so outraged by the exist
ing vice conditions of which he
learned, that he began private
crusade against them. He formed
CIVIC (Citizens Independent Vice
Investigation Committee) and Rose
vas attorney for the group.
The crusade has been tumultous;
Clinton's home once was bombed,
and Raymond was turning up clues
that indicated things in common
among vice rulers and political
rulers.
For more than 20 years, Ray
mond had done police work in
this vicinity He once was chief of
Police at San Diego, and later
served as a detective on the Los
Angeles vice squad. He was the
terror of the underworld and was
called the most feared copper in
