EFFORT TO SAVE RUNAWAY CAR LANDS WOMAN IN CACTUS BED
One person who got the point of the quip that the good Samaritan often gets a dirty dig is Mrs. Hilde Foote, 42, of 3903 Marmion Way.
Yesterday she fell into a cactus bed while trying to save a runaway automobile.
Mrs. Foote, manager of a hotel at the Marmion Way address, tried to move the sedan of a guest, James Longsworth, which was parked in a sloping alley behind the hotel.
The car went out of control. Mrs. Foote tried the emergency brake. Didn’t work. By this time the car was heading toward an embankment.
Mrs. Foote jumped out, landing in the cactus bed just under the brow of the 10-foot embankment. The car miraculously came to rest on the edge of the drop, hanging over Mrs. Foote, who was unable to move.
Fire Department Truck Co. No. 1, directed by Battalion Chief Homer L. Hall, laid a ladder across the cactus and lifted Mrs. Foote out. She was treated for minor punctures of her back, arms and knees at Pasadena Avenue Receiving Hospital.

Roofer Burned When Tar Kettle Overturns
Gordon Earl, 36, roofer, of 3903 Marmion Way, received third-degree burns on head and body yesterday when a kettle of tar overturned on him at 831 S. Grandview Ave.
L.A. Times, 12/7/1954:
Story about several groups of vandals who broke into various schools, one group of vandals breaking into Hollywood High, two of said vandals being “Floyd Earl Russell, 19, 3903 Marmion Way, and his brother, George D. Russell, 18.” They “had broken off the lid of the freezer [
in the school cafeteria], scattered bread, cake and butter over the kitchen and poured pepper over the mess. Young Garbo [
the third vandal] told juvenile officers: ‘We were kind of hungry and thought we’d get something to eat. We only had some milk and cake.’ Said George Russell: ‘We were riding around and we saw the school. We decided to break in and get something to eat. So we did.’” I have to mention as well another similarly not-very-hardened group of vandals in the same story who broke into “Hawaiian Avenue School, 540 N. Hawaiian Ave., Wilmington. Vandals evidently staged a towel fight, leaving wet towels and water on the gymnasium floor.”
Oh noes, not wet towels and water!!!

Vasquez v. Superior Court
[Civ. No. 25924. Second Dist., Div. Three. Jan. 10, 1962.]
HERACLIO VASQUEZ, Petitioner, v. THE SUPERIOR COURT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Respondent; THE PEOPLE, Real Party in Interest.
COUNSEL
Wesley Russell and James L. Garcia for Petitioner.
No appearance for Respondent.
William B. McKesson, District Attorney, Harry Wood and Harry B. Sondheim, Deputy District Attorneys, for Real Party in Interest.
OPINION
FRAMPTON, J. pro tem. fn. *
"This is a petition for a writ of prohibition seeking to restrain the respondent court from proceeding with the trial of petitioner on a charge of violation of section 11500, Health and Safety Code, on the grounds that the evidence used against him was obtained by means which violated the due process clauses of the state and United States Constitutions.
[1a] The facts as disclosed by a reading of the transcript of testimony taken at the preliminary hearing show that one Virgin, a police officer of the city of Los Angeles, who had a background of education in narcotics relating to their content, use and effect, and who was attached to the narcotic detail, had previously made some 500 arrests based upon violation of the narcotic laws, and who had qualified and testified as an expert witness on the subject of narcotics violations some 50 times in the respondent court, on the night of June 28, 1961, being armed with a search warrant to search the person of one Richard Costa, a known narcotic peddler, also Costa's residence situated at 3315 Portola Street in the city of Los Angeles, drove to such address. On arrival he observed Costa talking to petitioner who was seated behind the wheel of his car across the street from 3315 Portola Street. Upon approaching the vehicle he saw petitioner reach down at his side and when he raised his arm the officer observed a condom held between petitioner's forefinger and thumb and which contained a white powder. It was the officer's opinion that the object contained a fourth ounce of heroin. Petitioner swallowed the parcel in the officer's presence in spite of a command, "Don't swallow it or I will shoot." The officer stated to petitioner: "You swallowed a quarter, didn't you," and petitioner replied, "Yes." It was the opinion of the officer, based upon his experience in such matters, that petitioner had swallowed a quarter ounce of heroin.
"Petitioner was taken to the Lincoln Heights Receiving Hospital when Allen Harvey Becker, a duly licensed and qualified medical doctor on the staff of the hospital, administered apomorphine [199 Cal. App. 2d 63] to petitioner by hypodermic needle over petitioner's protest. He gave the injection to prevent the absorption into petitioner's system of what he believed to be a lethal dose of heroin. This caused nausea and vomiting and petitioner was thereby caused to regurgitate the condom, found to contain five grams of heroin. Petitioner became extremely weak and was strapped to a treatment table for his own protection, during which time the handcuffs were removed. After the object was regurgitated, petitioner continued to have what was described as the "dry heaves," that is, he continued to vomit without anything left in his stomach to be removed. This was accompanied by nausea. This process took about 30 minutes, after which petitioner was able, unassisted, to accompany the officers to his room in the Marmion Hotel several miles distant from the receiving hospital, where a further cache of heroin (50 grams) was found.
