Above, "Negro News" apparently continued  on KGFJ until the beginning of World War II, according to The Times’ radio listings. Below, Police Chief James Davis testifies in the trial of Police Capt. Earle Kynette in the Harry Raymond Bombing. And look at the police intelligence files the district attorney introduces as evidence: Cafeteria owner Clifford Clinton, a member of the 1937 grand jury; the Rev. R.P. "Fighting Bob" Shuler; Los Angeles County Supervisors John Anson Ford and Roger Jessup; and vice investigator Edward W. Atherton.

Quote of the Day: "Are these men criminals?" — Special Prosecutor Joseph Fainer, questioning Police Chief James Davis
