Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. 23 year old Lynn Woolford sits in a contemplative pose while on trial for manslaughter following a fatal argument with 72 year old veteran Morton Clark. Clark had apparently made derogatory comments against one of Woolford's female friends. Woolford then slapped Clark, who fell to the ground and died of a fractured skull. Woolford was found not guilty. This photograph appears in the article, "First Blow Death Trial Under Way. Manslaughter Hearing of Lynn L. Woolford in Veteran's Slaying Begins." Los Angeles Times, 9 Aug. 1934: 20. Text from negative sleeve: Woolford, Lynn. Murder Case. 1934. Handwritten on negative: Lynn Woolford.
