Volume 27, No. Nevada City, Nevada County, California, Thursday, April 16, 1953 Price Five Cents John True's arrest on Saturday, allegedly for murder of a hapless old lady, in Burbank, points up the educational value to detectives of comic strips ind grade B movies. If they carefully follow Dick Tracy and take in the movies once a week, they apparently learn all a detective needs to know. Here is a synopsis of the movements of the five law officers (some from Burbank, some possibly from L.A ): They arrived in this area (according to the most reliable reports) on Friday. They did not report in to either Grass Valley or Nevada City police officials, or, as is more customary in a case of this kind, to the Nevada County Sheriff's office. Instead they went undercover in the home of a Grass Valley resident, formerly affiliated with the Burbank ° police department. They were first shotted by eye witnesses about 7 p.m. parked in two klack Ford sedans on the Grass Valley-Nevada City highway, across from George's Market at Glenbrook Heights. They were back again at the same old standing ground the following day at 1:45 p.m. At that time, they were busily engaged in making collect telephone calls to Reno. Exactly where they were calling in that city is a’ mystery, but it is presumed they were making progress reports to a Reno law enforcement agency. At 2 p.m. that day they made a visit to True’s temporary residence in a residential development SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COPS REALLY BIG TIME OPERATORS outside of Cedar Grove. As a youthful witness said. “One was large and smoked a cigar, one wore elasses and one was small” They attempted at this time to gain entrance to the house. Whether they succeeded or not is another mystery. Anyhow, they journeyed back to Apple Street to make the pinch. They conducted this in the following manner and tinder the following. circumstances: Mr.-.Seth Terry (at whose home the arrest was made) ‘had left one of his children in charge of baby sitter while he went on an errand. In this in terval, the two cops burst in the front door. Accord ing to the baby sitter, they did not state they were officers. They asked for Mr. True. He is taking a bath,” the girl replied. One of the men went down the hall ,entered the bathroom and talked to True. In the meanwhile, the others poked around the front room. They tipped pictures on the wall, looking for mysterious things. (Later, Terry said all they might find is dust, since his wife has been ill in a San Francisco hospital, and he’s been in charge of the house. ) The baby sitter went back into the kitchen to finish the noon dishes. One of the gorillas then came in, opening the back door, saying, “There's a man here and we didn't want him to frighten you.” Another gorilla entered They waited in the living room while True a lressed. One of them admired’a picture on the wall of one of Terry's children “Low old is he?” sf Two years now, a The cop replied, “Tle mitst have been about one year when the picture was taken.” then came out. Pell Mr. berry three guys cacie and vot me,” he told the baly sitter. ble added: Please call this number and tell her . won't be able to make it.”’ (He referred to a date he had in Reno that night Into the darkness,-and ostensibly toward Burbank, the mysterious entourage then disappeared. Mr. Terry returning home, hearing the story, naturally became alarmed, notified the Nevada County Sheriff's office. That started the now much-publicized case of John True. But how simple it would have been if these socalled officers had proceeded through proper channels, notifying Sheriff Brown of their intentions. Brown had this to say: “If they had identified themselves, given notice of their intent, this would have been an open and shut matter. But they seemingly went out of their way to add an unnecessary burden to our office.” And Mr Terry, a substantial, civic-minded citizen, might have been spared a lot of unnecessary worry: only the metropolitan newspapers, *who broke the story, benefited by the Dick Tracy tactics. e True PUIL SCADDEN, CIVIC LEADER, EX-ASSESSOR, NAMED AS NEVADA COUNTY'S MAN OF YEAR Everybody knows Phillip Seaden. retired Nevada County Assessor, who can't keep from coming downtown quite a few times 4 week and who can smile come ‘air weather or bad.

Experts point to the fact that the prison would offer the much needed payroll here.
