CRIMINOLOGY WOMEN. VAUGHN Mont Carl & SORENSEN Helen.
An extraordinary pair of criminal case scrapbooks spanning the Great Depression and the post-World War II era maintained by Merchant Police bureau owner Mont Vaughn Sr. and Helen Sorensen Seattle Washington’s first Merchant Policewoman who began as secretary and undercover operator for the Vaughn Police Patrol after World War II. Filled with police bulletins mugshot photos police reports subpoenas and newspaper clippings manuscript notes in ink and pencil these volumes reveal the types of crime during the Great Depression and post-War era as well as the ongoing struggles by the Seattle Police Department to cope with ongoing cuts in funding and scandals.
Seattle WA: Vaughn Police Patrol 1044 East 92nd 1930-1966. Two vols. 4to. 182; 148 pp unpaginated. with 25 photographs sized from 3 x 4 in. up to 8 x 10 in. many tipped-in most w/ annotations or clippings explaining the images a couple w/ Dudley Commercial Photographer stamps on versos 100s of police report documents court documents subpoenas dittoed & mimeographed police blotter memos arrest reports newspaper clippings and magazine clippings some manuscript material as well including TLS. Blue buckrum National 3-ring binder and black simulated flexible leather 3-ring binder rounded corners occasional toning offsetting minor tears some creasing still a VG set. This pair of true crime scrapbooks assembled and maintained by the Vaughn Police Patrol from the Great Depression through the 1960s offer an invaluable primary source for the evolution of the Seattle Police Department Special Police volunteers and private security police “Merchant Police†forces over four decades including Washington’s first Merchant Policewoman. The first album opens with a photo of a battered young Vaughn followed by clippings of one of his earliest cases in 1933 that he was called as witness in which Freda Mills succeeded during a jury trial in overturning a drunk driving conviction in which she had wrapped the family laundry truck around a telephone pole after drinking three beers. By 1935 Vaughn was involved in a gun battle with two burglars looting the East Lynn Tavern who later turn out to be the notorious Harry Paulos and Joe Naples connected with several other murders and robberies including two Puyallup policemen; he aids in the capture of two teenage carjackers who kidnapped 5 people from Seattle to Portland OR in 1935 arrested notorious safecracker Ted Hatfield after he chased down Hatfield and and accomplice who had attached dynamite to plow off the door of the safe in the Casa Villa Restaurant with his Doberman Pinscher named “Tasso;†who was also instrumental in 1939 with nabbing three teenage car thieves after car chase and crash by the thieves with clippings mugshots and police department bulletins filling out the details. Helen Sorensen b. 1920 began her crime-fighting career with the Vaughn Police Patrol when Vaughn asks his secretary to fill in and start working as an undercover surveillance officer for the Merchant Police and in May 1950 she aids in capturing ex-con safecrackers Gerald Drennan and Clarence Pugh first by calling on the car’s mobile radio-telephone and then held the escaping suspects for police while holding the shotgun on them. Included are the statements by Monty Vaughn Chief of Detectives Emile Vallet suspect statements by Drennan and Pugh their mugshots and glowing clippings touting the efforts of Ms. Sorensen. These are followed by photos of Sorensen in Merchant Police uniform holding flashlight dated 1953 together with an extended article by Pacific NW author Lucile McDonald “Merchant Patrolwoman: Catching Robbers Trying Doors and Checking Furnaces are All Parts of Mrs. Helen Sorensen’s Job.†Further by clippings of her catching burglary suspects in 1956 and again in 1962 and the “shotgun-toting†woman catching burglars trying to loot a Standard Service Tire Co. in 1962 on Denny Way. Although Helen Sorensen in the several articles included here as well as the extensive extra by McDonald is listed as a widow and her husband killed while serving in the US Navy on submarines we could find no matching census or city directories for the addresses provided or matching the vital statistics information. Vaughn 1901-1966 was originally a brake inspector after World War I in Pennsylvania moved to Los Angeles became a machinist in Seattle by 1930 and a police photographer by 1932 before setting up his Merchant Police agency.

pp. x, 365, (7)[Publisher's catalogue] + Frontis, full page drawings and folding map of the Fiji Archipelago. Inked ownership. First signature slightly dampstained. Slight age staining. 8vo. Original full cloth binding, worn, stained and spotted. Hardbound. Early American edition of a classic on life in the South Pacific. Constance Frederica 'Eka' Gordon-Cumming (1837-1924) was a travel writer and painter. She was born in Scotland, the 12th child of a wealthy family. She taught herself how to paint, and had help from artists visiting her home, including one of Queen Victoria's favorite painters, Sir Edwin Landseer. After spending a year in India in 1867, she became interested in travel. Gordon-Cumming was a prolific travel writer and landscape painter who traveled the world, mostly in Asia and the Pacific. She painted over a thousand watercolors. Miss Gordon-Cumming received much criticism from male writers of the era, perhaps because she did not fit in the traditional Victorian role of women, as she often traveled alone and unaided. . **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
