The light shines brightly in the jury room (arrow) of the Santa Ana
courthouse. In this room,
six men and six women were debating over the guilt or innocence of
Beulah Louise Overell
and her lover, George Gollum. This scene was taken at night when the
jury was reported in
a deadlock in their verdict. Various reports came from spectators
who peered into
the jury room 50 yards away.
Laughing heartily, Beulah Louise Overell, and her sweetheart, George
"Bud" Gollum, are shown
with Attorney William B. Beirne and Deputy Sheriff Reba Crank,

the wreckage of the yacht Mary E at Newport Beach. Court reporters
said the young couple
appreciated the chance to get away from the courtroom.
These are the hands of Eugene Williams who once prosecuted Tojo; now
