RE: Presidential security
It was a handwritten page that really gave no information on the trial before the police board, but did make reference to John Parker. Without other papers, it made no real sense - but it must have to someone, and only a few people knew I had it in the desk. I have my suspicions, but that's all.
My gut reaction is that the transcripts are still out there in private hands -- unless some unknowing family member threw them out. As of about five years ago, the owner was believed to still be alive. The police historian that I was dealing with, however, was young and was doing double-duty by working on the archives. I don't think that he wanted to push too many buttons on the old guys because of his youth. I even made a copy of the A.C. Richards biography to try to win him over when I found out that the department did not know about the book, but it didn't work.
Rich Smyth can correct me on this, but I don't believe that Parker left any descendants.
