Glancing around for Ballerino data, I ran across the locations of some property he owned at the time of his death, which might be of interest:
LA Times, 7/14/1909
^^^ Note that the Sheriff had been for years a close friend of this King of the Cribs.
This adds some information:
LA Times, 7/29/1909
A decade earlier, he had also owned this impressive tract:
LA Herald, 11/13/1901
Bartolo Ballerino had been born in Chile ca. 1831, and was in L.A. by 1856, in which year he wedded Miss Maria Ampara Salcido in L.A.
