Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Standing from left to right: Los Angeles County Jailer Frank Dewar, Oregon police officer Cecil "Buck" Lieuallen, an unidentified male (probably a law enforcement officer), and Undersheriff Eugene Biscailuz, photographed inside Biscailuz's office. The photo was taken during the arraignment or trial of William Edward Hickman, who kidnapped and murdered Marion Parker, age 12. Of note: Officer Lieuallen, along with police Chief Tom Gurdane (not in photo), captured Hickman in Echo, Oregon, after an 8-day manhunt. It is not clear whether this photo was taken during Hickman's post-extradition arraignment in December of 1927, or his trial in 1928. Handwritten on negative: Frank Dewar, Buck Lieuallen, [...] Ring, [...] Biscailuz Text from negative sleeve: Hickman, William Edward.
