On June 25, 1976, dozens of San Francisco police officers descended in a raid on the Folsom Street Barracks, a gay bath house. The raid began with a bang and was direct­ ed by a confident Inspector Kenneth King of the Narcotic Bureau, who was armed with a search warrant which had been issu­ ed by Judge Daniel Hanlon of the Munici­ pal Court. The officers entered the Barracks by search­ ing all private rooms and lockers for possi­ ble contraband drugs. Upon completion of the search, seventeen Attorney B.J. Beckwith after bath house patrons were placed under his landmark victory arrest for charges ranging from unpaid tra­ ffic warrants, to very serious felony counts charging possession of restricted drugs for sale. However, by July 28th, the cop’s great bust which had begun with such a bang, died with scarcely more than a whimper. Credit for deflating the cop’s trial or test balloon for raiding gay baih houses, belongs to attorney B.J. Beckwith, who represented four of those arrested. Attorney Beckwith succeeded in having the search warrant declared invalid with respect to the patrons and the private rooms of the bath house. Thus, all evidence seized by the police in the private rooms or taken from the person of thè patrons is no longer admissible as eviden­ ce against those arrested. Without the evidence, the criminal charges must be dismissed. To achieve his victory, lawyer Beckwith scheduled a hearing on a “Motion To Quash The Search Warrant”. The motion was based upon the theory that insufficient evidence had been presented to Judge Hanlon to justify issuance of the search warrant in the first place. Secondly, Beckwith charged that much of the information presented to the Judge by the police narcotics officers, had been either false or misleading. At one point in the hearing, the deputy District Attorney protested loudly, “Your Honor, Mr. Beckwith is calling the police officer a liar.” And Beckwith in harsh reply to the District Attorney, said, “Yes, 1 am! That is exactly what I’m doing and I will present evidence to substantiate the charge!” The hearing covered two days and attorney Beckwith produced wit­ ness after witness. He was able to establish the exact nature of gay bath houses, the type of conduct that occurs there and the private nature of the rooms and lockers. He produced witnesses who flatly denied statements included in the affidavit filed by the police to secure the search warrant. At the end of the hearing, physically exhausted from his efforts, law­ Dr. Mark Freedman Dies yer Beckwith, known for his many court victories for gays and gay causes, broke into a broad Texas smile and expressed happiness that of Hepatitis... he had been able to secure another favorable decision for the gaypeo- ples of San Francisco.

Resturant at 1121 Polk Street. T^e *P.S. just celebrated their Sixth Anniversary in July, and the crowds that night were shoulder to shoulder. A galaxy of stars came by the *P.S. to pay their respects to the staff and management, as well as major stockholder. Bob Trollope, a pioneer in the gay bar scene in San Francisco. The pictures at the left here, show persons such as Emperor 1, Marcus present and doing his thing, as well as famous star of stage, screen, and more stages, Roxie Hart glittering for all to see. Fabulous entertainment was provided by the stellar star of the Polk Strasse, Dixon, also known as POLK STREET SALLY. Pictured here in his most patriotic hat, he lovable ole Dixon is shown entertaining his countless number of friends. Other entertainment was provided by the nightly piano bar singing star of stars. Bob Sandners, who was assisted by Bruce Hurlbut. Cake, prizes, and champagne were in abundance at the gala event, which followed up a hard day of work for many at the Circus-Circus. A Polk Street “landmark” is pictured at the bottom lower right hand, Kamp, the Parking Attendant at the *P.S. Yes, he is a “landmark” in that he is the only Parking Attendant for any Polk Street resturant, and he was the first for any gay resturant anywhere. Kamp is a real gentleman, and while not “gay” as the patrons of the *P.S. and this paper, he is fun! A real fine person. Pictured here also is Bob Trollope, the peioneer of the gay bar (dance) in San Francisco, along with the famous manager of the *P.S., Roy Hametiauxj....known as “Faye” to his intimates. The *P.S.
