O Good....so far I am not seeing a follow-up in the Tribune that might reveal the outcome, but I'll look a little further. I might add, though, for historical context, that 1964 was a rather hot year regarding abortion. There are articles about Sherry Finkbind and the Thalidomide babies....numerous stings were being carried out through this summer in the East Bay, employing women undercover agents, one noted to be from Stockton, but unnamed, beyond this trial...as well there is much legislation in the works in Sacramento and it is being debated by the legislators, academics, and clergy.

Thnak you so much, this is the article I couldnt read. And it does help, in the other I couldnt read the city of Richmond, which now explains why the trial was in Martinez. Now I will check Contra Costa County.and see f I can find anything. Id like to read what preceeded these 2 newspaper articles and whatthe outcome was, and what happened to Patricia HUFF at her sentencing. Thank you again, so very much. Cris

Cris, In case this is the article that you could only view partially, here is the full entry for 27 May 1964 in the Oakland Tribune: Wednesday 27 May 1964. OAKLAND TRIBUNE Mistrial Declared Martinez--In an unusual court action yesterday, the district attorney's office obtained a mistrial because a prosecution witness refused to testify about her personal life. Most mistrials are granted to the defense. It occurred in an abortion trial involving two former Richmond chiropractors, Dr Joseph D Sieff, 51, now of San Leandro, and his former partner, Dr Lawrence Giubbini, 60, who resides in San Anselmo. District Attorney John A Nejedlly strode into the courtroom of Superior Judge Martin E Rothenberg to make the motion for mistrial following the third refusal of a key witness to answer questions put by the defense and the judge. Judge Rothenberg held Mrs Patricia Huff of Oakland in contempt of court for her refusal to answer a question put to her by one of the defense attorneys, Irving Sugarman of Richmaond. The question concerned the history of her marriages. Sentencing was put off until Monday at 9:30 am on Mrs Huff's refusal to heed Judge Rothenberg's directions to answer. The indictment against the two defendants still stands, Nejedly said and, following a review of all the evidence, a new trial can be held. "There is a cloud on the evidence when the state's witness refuses to testify," Nejedly explained. "When the witness refused to testify, we could not logically proceed with dignity." "It takes a lot of courage to do this sort of thing and to do it under these circumstances when so much work has gone into the case," said Judge Rothenberg. The jury had heard eight days of testimony in the trial before its abrupt end. To the jury Rotheberg said, "This is a case you will long remember from many standpoints. It is a case in which justice has been done because this is an action a district attorney ought to take under such circumstances." Mrs. Huff had previously testified she was being prepared for an abortion in the defendants' offices when she signalled for police waiting outside. > I was wondering if the Contra Costa Times, is in that group of papers that you can check? > Also wondering do she work under cover somewhere in Contra Costa, for wondering the trial was > held in that county? > > George > > [email protected] wrote: > Hi Ron and all > I did a few lookups on the news link you sent Ron and was surprised to > say the least! : ) I have found 2 articles (so far) fro The OAKLAND > TRIBUNE May 27 and May 28 1964 regarding Patricia HUFF an undercover > police woman being held in contempt of court for refusing to answer > questions.

Hi everyone, I've posted some of the events that are happening next month (October, Family History Month) in the San Francisco Bay Area at: http://www.sfgenealogy.com/boards/sfbevents/ If you know of any more and have the information, please feel free to post and share it. Otherwise, for those outside of the Bay Area and interested in San Francisco, we are hoping to put together an online chat. You can check the above link for any further information. Regards, Ron Filion sfgenealogy.com

Dear Pat, I haven't seen anyone mention my all girl Catholic school, Notre Dame de Namur. It was on Dolores Street at 16th Street, across from the old Mission Dolores. It was a 12 year school and some of the girls were from rural areas. They boarded at the convent school. The same nuns also taught at the boys school, Mission Dolores, which is on 16th Street between Dolores and Church Sts. It is still a school. Notre Dame closed down many years ago. This is the same order of nuns who have other schools in the Bay Area and the Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, Ca., a suburb south of The City. Good luck in your search, Julie Fontana Collins

Karen...I have a couple of Pix I took in 2000, showing some O'shea gravesites..there are mountains, but they are way back in the background. If you like, I will send you the pix so you can get some idea of what the area looks like.

Hi Trina, I am wondering if in your research you may have came across anything about a boy, probably in this teens, who committed suicide by jumping off a cliff somewhere near or in Holy Cross Cemetery? There is a story in my family that my grandmother's brother was sent to live with an aunt after their parents death around 1890 and was so unhappy living there that he killed himself near to his parents graves. My grandmother was younger and was adopted by family friends named Ott. My grandmother's birth surname was Ward and that is really all that I know about her natural family. Most of her records were destroyed in 1906 and I haven't even been able to find the first names of her parents. Karen Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations. (Deuteronomy 32:7)

Hi Pam, I have some obits from family members I would like to submit. From reading this email I guess it would be okay?

Linda and Pat, Well, as hopefully everyone knows, we have a nice little obituary collection at sfgenealogy: http://www.sfgenealogy.com/sf/vitals/sfranobi.htm There is a submission form there if you want to do a few at a time. For larger collections, you can submit them directly to me. But, please feel free to post them here, too. Just remember to give us permission to copy them please. :-) Here's the preferred format: "BADER--In this city, May 30, Bridget, beloved wife of William BADER, and sister of the late Mrs. P. O'CONNOR, a native of County Galway, Ireland, aged 38 years. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend the funeral to-morrow (Sunday), at 2 o'clock P.M. from her late residence, 635 Stevenson street. Interment, Mount Calvary Cemetery." Source: San Francisco Examiner, 31 May 1890, p. 7. Transcribed by Susan Cherry-Boyer. It's important to include as much source information as possible. The "transcribed by" portion is optional. :-) Thanks!
