PART 1
THE SMOKING GUNS:
Normally, the investigation by this museum into the Eureka Axe Murderer would have ended at this point, --- labeled something like “Case Unsolved”. ---- Again, it is up to us to prove that the Narc’s are lying, not the other way around. And how does one go about proving the negative? To prove the positive, that an incident actually happened, it only takes one newspaper article. However to prove the negative, it doesn’t matter how many newspapers you look at, it can always be said that, “You just haven’t looked in the right place yet. ” Very seldom do you find a smoking gun, yet this is one of those few times.

Shown here is an Editorial article taken directly from the San Francisco Chronicle (a major newspaper back in its day):

SFChronicle1935-11-12

[National Archives (College Park, MD.), Bureau of Narcotics Collection]

San Francisco Chronicle - Nov. 13, 1933 pg. 8 [Editorial Section]
NARCOTIC FAKING
The ADMISSION by William G. Walker, Chief of the State Narcotics Division, that narcotics and white slave charges were faked to obtain "emergency" appropriations once more turns the spotlight on a bureau more notable for turmoil than for public service.

Since Joseph Anderson's time there has not been a single case above the petty class turned up by the State bureau although gigantic rings have been brought to justice here by the Federal agents.

The legislature withheld appropriations for the narcotics division in an effort to discipline it into efficiency. The seeking of "emergency" allowances by hysterical and false charges is an effort to defeat the Legislature's intention.

The distortion of records against which Sacramento's Chief of Police made the indignant protest that brought forth Mr. Walker's letter of admission demands more serious consideration.

Recalling that it was (California Chief of Narcotics) William G. Walker, that seems to have been the direct originating source of the Eureka Axe Murderer story. Also noting the date of the Editorial article above “Nov. 13, 1933” or just 6 days after the axe murders first mention. We will leave it up to the reader to determine whether or not this “Admission of Wm. G. Walker” constitutes a smoking gun or not.

In addition the S.F. Chronicle was NOT the only newspaper carrying the story. Various other papers (mostly local to the San Francisco area) also made mention of the matter. For the most part they all say the same thing --- Walker admits to colored up some stories, etc., etc.

AS AN ASIDE
The actual reason this matter hit such a firestorm had very little to do with the Eureka Axe murderer himself. Had Walker kept it to that he probably would have gotten away with it. Instead the firestorm centered more around a “White Slave Ring” ^[2] that Mr. Walker so colorfully described. Something about young girls being taken from a bus stop -- forced or tricked into using Drugs – then being sent to another city (Sacramento) and there forced into prostitution -- etc.

Which is why he got caught. The sheriff up in Sacramento (upon hearing of the charges) started his own investigation and the thing got out of hand . . . etc.

HOWEVER, THERE IS MORE . . ..
