Similar photograph appears with the article, "Police Hunt For Stabber," Los Angeles Times, 25 July 1935: A3. Leona stands outdoors leaning over a waist-high fence with her hands crossed in front of her. Four women were victims of stabbing with a darning needle, but none had gotten a good look at the attacker. James W. McKelvey was brought in as a suspect, but none of the women were able to positively identify him. While walking back to her home on South Mansfield Avenue on her way home from the movie theater Leona Campbell was stabbed in her back with a darning needle by an unidentified man she described as being short and slender and wearing a blue sweater. Handwritten on negative: Leona Campbell - 7/24/35 Text from negative sleeve: 1406 - Leona Campbell Assault victim 7/24/35
