Above, the humble Hollywood cobbler had a colorful past–and no, he wasn’t deported. Below, The Times publishes a photo of jurors in the trial of Police Capt. Earle Kynette in the Harry Raymond bombing, a long stretch from the identification numbers given to jurors today … Note the names of Kynette’s co-defendants: Roy J. Allen and Fred A. Browne.

Brown (Finis A. Brown), who investigated the killing of Elizabeth Short. It is so easy to get facts wrong in the Black Dahlia case and so very difficult to get them right … Judge Irvin Taplin, who grew up at the Los Angeles Orphans’ Home, gives a birthday party at the home for his adopted daughter and 125 children living at the facility … And E.V. Durling sings the praises of Dutch Flat on the road to Truckee.
