This is getting complicated. Police Capt. Earle Kynette has been cleared by Police Chief Davis and has promised to capture whoever attached a bomb to Harry Raymond’s car. Kynette has already been charged with wiretapping Raymond’s phone. Now he’s in hiding because Dist. Atty. Buron Fitts wants to charge him with attempted murder … I have never head of the Wives of Spanking Husbands Club, but I can’t believe it was on the front page of the Los Angeles Times, never mind the Daughters of Spanking Parents … And the buffalo nickel is doomed!

On the jump, a judge halts formation of a grand jury in the Raymond case … And the Los Angeles Fire and Police Protective League accuses Kynette of trying to wreck the union. I can’t help but think 1938 must have been a fabulous year to be a reporter in Los Angeles.
