"A piece of new, very small, cotton, rope about six feet long with a noose in one end was found under Cordes' head. The rope belonged to the murderer and as it was covered with blood and hair from Cordes' whiskers it is supposed it was used to choke him and compell him to tell where his money was."

Velda Arnaud was born and raised in southwestern Oregon. Her degrees in Instructional Technology, Mathematics, and German come from the University of Oregon, and she spent one year at the Universität Tübingen in Germany. She enjoys collecting books, photos, and ephemera, which inspired this book. Wanted: Crime in California is the first in a series of books being worked on for future publication. The series is about wanted posters, the subjects in them, and the lawmen who often risked their lives to apprehend the men described in their Wanted Posters, Postcards and Circulars.
