As one or more of the descriptions received indicated
the suspect might be a Latin type, the inspectors visited at
various times all Filipino, Spanish, Mexican and Italian
restaurants and dancehalls throughout the city.
Hospitals near which the suspect had operated were
carefully checked, the Inspectors feeling he might have
some minor employment in one or other of these institu-
tions, and possibly be an exArmy or Navy disabled veteran.

ary institutions concerns bigger and better and more care-
fully planned crimes on being free again; our state records
do show a very large percentage of so-called "repeaters."
First-time convicts blame their initial incarceration on their
own carelessness or on the stupidity or disloyalty of their
pal or pals; but next time things will be entirely different —
no pals, and, of course, a quite different routine! This fact
was our San Francisco Police Department's great break in
the case of our Black Glove Rapist.
His M. O. indicated he was eminently "con wise" — but
his own words did betray him, as we shall see.
The author of the saying about there being many a slip
twixt the cup and the lip really had something. Had the
entire group of the inmates of our California penitentiaries
been born dumb and had they not learned to write, one
small penitentiary would suffice for this great state. Yes,
criminals, no matter how clever, do talk, and do say the
wrong thing — just as our Black Glove Rapist did. He said
just four words. These four words started a forest fire
around him from which he was gleefully taken alive by the
San Francisco Police Department.
Our Inspectors pounced on the information he gave in
four words to the last of his outraged victims. Hardly had
the lady finished the short four-word sentence before one
of our state penitentiary photo files was being raced
through for a parolee that would fit the description of our
local master criminal.
Actually while prison photographs were being checked
for parolees of the type of the rapist his victim gave a
description of him which virtually tallied with the one the
inspectors had just brought from the state prison: "Maroon
eyes, jet black hair, dark complexion, 160 lbs., 6 ft., 2 in."
The all-out Police Department hunt for the rapist was
now at top tension. Each and every amusement resort,
creameries, all pool halls and taverns, was again combed
for the much wanted bad man. An address on 24th street
was said to be his residence, if the man the Inspectors sus-
pected was the culprit.
The Inspectors went to that address and a young woman
stated her husband's name was Frank Alvarez; that he had

not yet returned from work. While the Inspectors were
asking questions of the young lady someone in the rear of
the house asked her who was visiting her, and on she rC'
plying — "the police" — there was an instant scurrying of
feet down the back stairs. Frank Alvarez was gone!
The young lady then informed the Inspectors that she
knew he had had some trouble with the police; that about
February 4th, he had come home with a bullet wound in
his left ankle; that she personally took care of that wound.
For blocks, in the vicinity of the 24th street address the
basements, stairs, roofs, shrubs, trees and garages were
searched for Alvarez, and at 8:50 A. M., the following day
he was found by officers Moran, Hess and Demartini hid-
ing under an automobile at 1008 Treat Avenue.
At the Hall of Justice, inside of a couple of hours, no
less than seven of his women victims positively identified
him. Sergeant Leen Davis, of the Auxiliary Police Re-
serve, also identified him as the man whom he had shot,
at the scene of a "prowler call," from 3434 Sacramento
Street, on February 3rd, 1947, when he and Reserve Offi-
cer Al Weil responded to a case on that date.
For their eminently successful efforts in bringing to jus-
tice one of San Francisco's most hateful criminals, and
presenting enough definite evidence against him to secure
his conviction on several crimes, for which he received a
maximum penitentiary sentence of four hundred and forty
years, the Police Commissioners awarded Meritorious
Public Service to: Lloyd Kelly, Eugene Atkinson, Frank
Baroni and John W. Breen of the Inspectors" Bureau, un-
der the Rules and Regulations of the police department.
To his last victim he mentioned Chino. The Inspectors
pounced on that information. They had their man!
Now, Chino, California, is a state penal institution. A
"repeater,"" the detail surmised — and evidently a pyscho-
pathic case, too; they were correct! He had been a sex case
and was on parole from Chino.
In the home of his last victim he remarked, pointing to
a framed picture: "That looks like Chino."" These four
words casually spoken by this clever archfiend, sealed his
fate. His tireless pursuers were instantly ready for the kill.
â– His very latest victim, to whom he had made the remark
about the picture on the wall, positively identified pictures
of her brutal attacker, whose careless remark was the cause
of ending forever his ruthless criminal career.
Yes, it is true indeed — our penal institutions are crowd-
ed with people who "talked" themselves behind those mas-
sive stone and concrete walls.

PROFESSIONAL POLICE SERVICE
( Continued from page 1 2)
costly "buck-passing" goes on not only between neighbor-
ing cities, but also between counties and states in a patch-
work sieve of inefficiency through which the criminal
slips, easily.
Occasional and unrelated "clean-up drives" are con-
ducted in various municipalities, which only serve to dis-
perse the undesirables elsewhere, like the slovenly house-
keeper who "tidies-up" the kitchen by sweeping the dirt
into the dining room. Integration here is much needed
in the shape of state legislation, and at least some form
of over-all control which will serve to unite all of these
divided groups into closer harmony. As far as communi-
cations systems are concerned, many of those necessary
for adequate coverage already exist, only requiring to be
amplified, coordinated, and administered through a more
effective chain of command. But all this, too, will re-
quire education.
Furthermore, in spite of the obvious excellence of a
scientific police system, there are many who have yet to
be converted. The ill-informed cling to their out-moded
methods, and in many cities it still is the wholly-matter-
of-fact custom to choose men for the police service at
random. Even when stipulations do exist, they will, in
all probability, specify only that the applicant be over 25
and under 35 years of age, stand over 5 feet 9 inches,
and weigh at least 150 pounds. He may or may not be
expected to have a high school education. These "qual-
ifications" may differ slightly in various localities, but
with even the most "discriminating," they are considered
ample, usually.
After being chosen, this promising young "Nemesis of
Crime" here is officially made a member of the force in an
"induction ceremony" that is beautiful in its simplicity.
He is furnished with a badge, and a key to the "call
boxes" — he will have been required to buy his own re-
volver and uniform, and even his own handcuffs, possibly.
He will be informed as to where he will be expected to
patrol, and finally loosed upon an unsuspecting public,
with no more pre-service instruction than possibly a sage
warning from the broad wisdom of some superior, to
"Take it easy, and keep out of trouble until you learn
your way around!"
