Two Men Dead
Late Sunday afternoon police officers found two men dead beside an automobile along the coastal road near Lake Merced. A shootout had occurred with each man having fired several shots from weapons which were found, still in their hands. The time of the shooting is uncertain as firing by police officers at the nearby coastal shooting range probably covered the sound.
According to Detective Walter Gregory, who was among the officers who discovered the bodies, one of the dead is a local man named Jake Luzinsky, until recently employed by the United Service Detective Agency. The other man is unknown to local police but is identified by papers in his possession as Clarence Dobbs of San Jose.
The automobile, belonging to Mr. Dobbs, was found to be carrying 144 bottles of bootleg liquor and an illicit business deal gone wrong is believed to be the cause of the killings.
Gunfire on Red Rock Hill
Actually Blank Cartridges
Weekend Emergency Work By The DPW
Gunshots and an explosion heard by citizens in the vicinity of 16th and Castro were a result of an emergency job undertaken by members of the Department of Public Works.
A charge of dynamite was used to collapse a tunnel beneath the old Gray Brothers brick works high on the east face of Red Rock Hill. This tunnel presented a very grave and immediate danger to houses downslope and its destruction in a prompt and safe manner will ensure that no landslides occur, such as those which are a subject of litigation, elsewhere on the hill.
The gunshots heard by members of the public were blanks fired to warn the members of the crew of the impending explosion.
