  • 1968:  Zachary Ford Lillard buys pill binder for his LSD lab and then kills policeman




Quote:

Lillard Seen Near Fatal Shooting Site

  A San Mateo secretary today identified Zachary Lillard as the man who picked up 100 pounds of special starch from her place of business minutes before San Mateo Police Sgt. Gordon Joinville was shot to death five blocks away last May 23 [1968].
  The state is attempting to prove that Lillard, who is on trial for his life in Superior  Court in Redwood City, was followed by Joinville when he drove away from the E. A. Staley Mfg. Co. at 520 El Camino a Real and that Lillard murdered the officer when he was stopped at Fifth Avenue and Claremont Street.
  Police Lt. Stanley Cohelan the eleventh prosecution witness called by District Attorney Keith C. Sorenson, testified to-day that he assigned Joinville to a narcotics investigation after receiving a tip from the secretary, Mrs. Letha threaten, a week earlier that the starch had been ordered. Mrs. Ehrenfelt explained that the starch is used as a "binder" In the manufacture of pills.
  Sorenson told the jury in his opening statement that Lillard bought the starch for the purpose of manufacturing LSD. He in charged that the 34-year-old defendant was involved in narcotics trafficking as well as burglaries, and kidnappings.
  Mrs. Ehrenfelt said she got a call a week before the slaying from a man who said he was a a doctor at Stanford. The man refused to leave a number where he could be called or an address where the starch, could be delivered. He said he would pick it up and arrangements were made for May 23. When Lillard came for the starch; Joinville Is was "staked out" in the basement of the Staley building.
  What happened after that is the subject of the trial. Two witnesses said they saw Joinville stop Lillard's car five blocks away a few minutes later and saw the two men get out of their cars and converse. No one actually saw the shooting which followed. 
  Sorenson: told the jury that Lillard admitted under his arrest that he had picked up the starch. He said whoever that he.had stopped downtown to buy some notebook paper and that his car was stolen while he was in the store.
  Lillard is scheduled, to take it the stand himself later in the trial.

50th anniversary of Zachary Ford Lillard killing that policeman who tried to follow him after he bought pill binder for his LSD lab.  Here's more detail...



Quote:

In May 1968, the San Mateo Police Department received a tip from an employee of a downtown San Mateo chemical manufacturer located on the 500 block of S. El Camino Real - "C" on the map below.  (That building no longer exists and is now occupied by the Westlake office building and 24 Hour Fitness.)  A suspicious looking man (who refused to give his name or address) wanted to purchase 100 pounds of starch.  Due to the man's insistence on remaining anonymous and the large quantity of chemical to be purchased, it was suspected that the starch would used as a pill bonding agent in the production of an illegal drug, probably LSD.  Arrangements were made for delivery of the starch on Thursday afternoon, May 23 (just 13 days prior to the assassination of Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles).  Using an unmarked police car and dressed in civilian clothing, 12-year police veteran Detective Sergeant Gordon R. Joinville, was assigned jointly by the San Mateo Police Department and the FBI to secretly obtain the description and license plate number of the suspect's car and tail it to the lab where the illegal drugs were to be manufactured.
 
At approximately 5 pm, the unidentified man loaded the starch into his car and started driving away.  Sergeant Joinville began tailing the car.  It is assumed that the suspect quickly became aware of the fact that he was being followed.  He then altered his route and started to speed away.  Joinville then turned on his police siren with flashing lights and pulled the suspect's car over to the curb in front of Pederson and Arnold Planing Mill on Fifth Avenue, a few feet west of S. Claremont Street - "A" on map.  (The building at that site is now vacant, awaiting demolition.)  This location is one block from the  Southern Pacific train tracks.  The suspect then got out of his car and approached the police car just as Sergeant Joinville attempted to make a radio call for a license plate computer check.  The police dispatcher told Joinville to "stand by" due to heavy radio traffic that was busy handling an armed robbery that, coincidentally, was occurring just six blocks away at Dave's Market (now "Everybodys Market"), 916 East Fourth Avenue - "B" on map.  Before Joinville could transmit the license plate number over the radio, he was shot twice at pointblank range killing him instantly.  The weapon used in the slaying was a .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol.  Even though the shooting occurred on a busy street in broad daylight, there were no known witnesses to the sound of gunfire.  This could be explained by the fact that a Southern Pacific train was scheduled to be passing by one block away.  Sergeant Joinville, still seated, was likely shot through an open door or window while his assailant was standing in the street, on the left side of the police car.  The suspect, along with his 100 pounds of starch, fled the scene.

At approximately 5:18 pm, Joinville was found dead by two small boys on their bicycles.  They stared into the car, saw the bleeding man, and raced away for help.  One of the boys went to Talbot's Toy Store, two blocks away, and the other went to a nearby Gulf service station on the corner of East Fourth Avenue and Delaware.  The Gulf service station attendant, Bob Reed, took the boy's bike and raced to a nearby corner and then pedaled back to the waiting boy stating that he couldn't find anything wrong.  (Due to his excitement, the boy probably didn't give a very good description of where the unmarked police car was located.)  The boy shouted to Reed, "I'll show you!" and led the way back to Joinville's police car.  At 5:25 pm, Bob Reed then broadcast over the police radio, "There's a police officer here who's been seriously hurt, send an ambulance right away…"  (This is the same Bob Reed that currently operates "Bob Reed's Auto Service" at the corner of 17th and Palm Avenues in San Mateo.)

San Mateo Police Officer John Burr, who had been best man at Joinville's wedding in 1961, was the first detective on the scene--he was one of the police officers covering the Dave's Market robbery.  He pulled open the car door and found his fellow police officer stretched across the front seat.  Joinville was pronounced dead shortly thereafter at nearby Mills Hospital.  His firearm, a .38 caliber service revolver, was in its holster and had not been fired.  In examining the police car, Burr found a notebook that appeared to be hidden beneath Joinville's body.  It was open to a page that had a description of a car and license plate number: "dark green 1959 Volkswagen Kharman Ghia – KKR030."

As soon as the car’s description and license plate number were run through the system the suspect was identified as Zachary Ford Lillard, also known as James C. Andrews.  Lillard was single, age 32, six-feet, two-inches tall, weighed 158 pounds, with brown hair and light blue eyes.  He was wanted by the FBI on a federal fugitive warrant for kidnapping with bodily harm and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.  Lillard was also sought in both San Jose and San Francisco for armed robbery and car theft.

Knowing the serious charges against him with the long prison term he was facing explains the extreme measure that Lillard took to avoid being arrested.

By 6 p.m. (less than an hour after the shooting), an all-points bulletin was issued resulting in the largest manhunt in the history of San Mateo.  Scores of police officers, many using their own automobiles, patrolled the nearby streets, highways, and alleys in the search for Joinville's killer.  The story of the shooting and its aftermath dominated the local news until early June, when presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles.

By the next day, Friday, May 24, 1968, law enforcement agencies throughout the West were searching for Lillard.  Aiding in the search for Lillard were personnel from the FBI, State Highway Patrol, and neighboring police departments from all over the Bay Area.  Even offduty San Mateo police officers (including some who were on vacation) showed up in their own personal cars and offered to help in the search.

Within a day a fund was established in memory of the slain officer.  "The Gordon Joinville Memorial Trust Fund," administered by Crocker Citizens Bank, was established to assist in the education of his two surviving small children.  The list of donors to the Trust Fund ran 26 pages.  In addition the family was provided with compensation from Sergeant Joinville's pension, his life insurance (with accidental death benefit), Workers' Compensation, an FBI fund for fallen agents, and the Peninsula Peace Officers' Association.


At 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 25, two days after the murder, the FBI captured Lillard in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco.  At the time he was arrested, Lillard, unarmed, tried to evade his captors by running into a residential backyard and hiding in a flower bed.  Thus ended his freedom, but not for long.

A rifle and two pistols, including the murder weapon, were found in a nearby truck that Lillard had rented.  Soon thereafter, his Kharman Ghia (with license plate KKR030) and the LSD manufacturing lab (including the 100 pounds of starch he purchased in San Mateo) were also located.  Lillard was immediately transferred to the San Mateo city jail where he was held without bail.  On Tuesday May 28 he was arraigned in San Mateo Central District Municipal Count on murder charges.  In covering Lillard's capture, local newspapers reported that he was "a known user of amphetamines and a devotee of health foods and the Rosicrucian religious sect."

Interesting read.

I don't see why he HAD to have starch for a binding agent. If he already had lsd in manufacture couldn't he have just dropped on paper and separated into doses?

I feel like maybe they're referring to a tableting spot as a 'lab'. That, or he just made pills by standard and they considered it part of his "production process" and therefore necessary.

I catch your drift. Either way it was an unfortunate day for that officer and his family. Lsd should be about love and truth. I hate to hear stories where it is centered around violence.

Definitely something that should have never become necessary, particularly domestically forcing U.S. citizens against each other, but it's become a necessary evil (when it doesn't just make everything worse). Legalization's the only way, it's the laws, not the drugs; blahblah it's been said before.
I'm not sure whether to believe the "frequent user of amphetamines" thing fully, but it would explain the shit critical thinking if he'd been up for a few days or way over his dose. He could've drove to a neutral spot and sussed the situation from there, but had the killing gone through "properly", acid would've continued to flow and shamefully, no dealer or consumer would've complained or even noticed the difference.

When cutthroat business, unpredictable individuals with respective justifications for their actions, under the constant pressure of  being hunted by armed forces (and being turned in by family, friends, and neighbors) backed by a global superpower legally and domestically, meet spirituality and a very conflicting idealistic ideology; with American consumerism infecting all involved parties, generating a certain level of "fuck it, I got mine" amongst everyone. Pretty interesting feed for the study of American culture. Hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and (sometimes willful) ignorance overfloweth.

The laws effectively make every drug, regardless of it's gentle nature, fit into one dark class of "valuable product that's so risky to freedom it's worth killing for" drugs; and this story, especially because it happened very early in LSD's life as a member of this one class, illustrates it perfectly.

Very well said bro. In this day and age it is all about bragging rights, monetary gain...and alot of these ppl are just drowning in a sea of egotistical bull. I wish Id had the chance to experience flow and eb of the 60's love-drug culture lol. Different vibes and environments/times give the same drug a different feel.

You bring up a very good point, Joe.  One that I haven't touched on.  But Zachary Ford Lillard was supposedly involved in an actual LSD lab, not just a pill factory.  Not sure who was the chemist, but the January 31, 1969 copy of The Times (San Mateo, California) said that a man named Bertram H. Eisenberg testified that he, Lillard and someone named Michael Skalandunas had entered into a business arrangement where they would make LSD.  They spent $3,000 to $5,000 to buy "chemicals and chemistry equipment" and rented a house in Bolinas, where the lab would be set up. 

But anyway, today is the 35th anniversary of Arthur Kleps being arrested in Vermont after nearly a year on the run.  He was accused of shooting at police, who discovered his 927 marijuana plants in an areal raid the previous July in Humboldt, CA.  Pretty crazy that he was arrested for shooting at cops who tried to bust his marijuana operation on the anniversary of the day Zachary Ford Lillard killed a cop for interfering in his LSD operation.
