The Sycamore Inn restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga has rows of photos noting the well-known celebrities who dined there, including one of Elizabeth Short.
A wall inside the famed Sycamore Inn restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga has rows of photos noting the well-known celebrities who have dined there, such as Jerry Lewis and Marilyn Monroe.
An address book with the names of Short’s many male acquaintances was mailed to police a few days after her body was discovered. The book included the name of Jimmy Harrigan, a Navy veteran and civilian aircraft mechanic at the San Bernardino Army Air Base. He was among those questioned by police. At a Barstow cafe several days after news of Short’s death, Caral Marshall of Tulare was overheard saying, “I know who killed Beth Short, and if the reward is big enough I’ll talk.” The proprietor reported the comment to police, and she was taken in for questioning, reported the Sun newspaper, Jan. 26, 1947.
Reporters of the day were not hesitant to add their own bits of color in the way they described people. About 10 days into the investigation, one writer described her as an “amazon,” apparently due to her height. In all subsequent mentions in all papers and wire stories, Marshall was called an “amazon,” and some even added her weight, 160 pounds.
Reader Brent Basinger, a long-time former resident of Rancho Cucamonga, sent me a copy of an 1894 government topographic map showing “San Antonio” was already a location here.
