Beulah Louise OVERELL

 
 
 

 

Beulah Louise Overell is shown as she faced a battery of newspaper photographers.
The 18-year-old heiress, testifying in her own defense, denied that she had killed
her wealthy parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Overell.

 

 

This was the tense scene at the Overell trial when Prosecutor Eugene D. Williams exhibited photographs
(black arrow) of the victims' bodies, showing the injuries they suffered at the time of their death. As
Williams displayed the enlargements, Beulah Louise Overell (arrow 1) kept her eyes on the table
at which she sat, while Bud Gollum turned his head away.

 

 

Deputy Attorney General Henry A. Deitz, standing in center, is shown as he began a summation
for the prosecution in the Overell murder trial. He said the state has proved the defendants
guilty before any reasonable doubt. Beulah Louise Overell (black arrow), bursts into tears as
Deitz accuses her and her lover, George Gollum of the murder. Gollum, (white arrow),
sits intently in his chair.

 

 

Beulah Louise Overell and her sweetheart George Gollum, center, sit all alone, surrounded
only by their attorneys and deputies, in this courtroom view during a recess.

 

 

The arrows point to George Gollum and Beulah Louise Overell, defendants in the Overell murder trial.
The young couple sat in court in an atmosphere of tension while the prosecution and defense
commenced the selection of a jury. The trial may last until mid-summer.

George Gollum, are on trial for the murder of her parents. Spectators by the hundreds flocked
to the courthouse. In this view, the spectators' section was so crowded that some of them
had to stand against the walls.

to the courthouse. The sensation-filled case entered into its ninth week, and both the

figures are pointed out in the courtroom, including George Gollum.

attorneys. In front of them are the jurors'.

 

 

The real life drama being staged in the Santa Ana courtroom began as a tragedy, with the death
of Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Overell aboard their yacht in Newport Harbor. This photo shows a
scene as the drama builds up breathless suspense for the ending that the jury, on the left,
will write. Attorney William B. Beirne (standing, center) delivers an impassioned plea for
the jury to spare Beulah Louise Overell and her sweetheart, Bud Gollum.
