Are remains Judy Rivera? identity Thursday, May 30, 1974 The Sun-Telegram, San Bernardino, Calif. Section at inauest oiigh Help by police she said she had been harassed, not questioned, and that she knew nothing of the bones found in the Jurupa Hills. Near the end of her testimony she told Hill why she refused to talk. "The courts aren't interested in helping people. All they want to satisfy are their own records.

They have no respect for human feelings. No love. I'll never have faith in public defenders of our society again," she said near tears. "But what about Judy," shot back Hill. "Did she have a public defender?" Following Mrs.

Rivera's questioning, Hill brought Irma Rivera to the stand. She is Mrs. 1 5 a 1 daughter, who has been placed in a foster home by the court. During her testimony and subsequent testimony of her step sister, Virginia Bueno, it was revealed that the court felt Irma's father, Antonio Rivera of Riverside, had sexually abused her. The long-haired teenager described numerous beatings that she and her sister, Judy, had received at the hands of their father, Mrs.

Rivera's ex-husband. "I remember Judy. She was very small. Yeah, she was skinny and she could walk but she had, like, a dislocated hip and it was hard for her to walk," said Irma. She said that she and Judy were often beaten or kicked for wetting the bed.

At that time Irma was about six. Then, as the room became absolutely silent, the girl described being tied with ropes, cords or wire, and shut in a closet. The infant, Judy, would receive the same treatment as a punishment for bed wetting, claimed Irma.

That question became the central issue of an inquest yesterday conducted at City Hall here by San Bernardino County Coroner Bill Hill.

Hill is responsible for determining the identity and cause of death of a small child whose skeletal remains were discovered in the Jurupa Hills in south Fontana Feb. 1, 1973, by a man out walking his dogs. Investigators determined the remains were those of a three-year-old who had been buried about 10 vears. Before calling his first witness, Hill told the jury that they were to determine only if his conclusions about the child were correct. They are not judging anyone's responsibility in the child's death.

Before five minutes of testimony by the first witness had passed, Hill made statements showing he believes the skeleton is that of Judy Rivera. His first witness was her mother, Merla Rivera of San Rernardino. She was the lone witness in the room as Hill had ordered all others to wait in the council chamber lobby. "Did you ever have a daughter named Judy?" asked Hill shortly after he began questioning Mrs. Rivera.

"I wonder if I should be answering any questions. I don't even know my rights," she replied slowly and haltingly. In what he admitted was an unusual procedure for a coroner's inouest, Hill had Det. Frank Donlon read Mrs. Rivera her rights to remain silent and obtain counsel.

He emphasized, however, that she was not on trial. From that point Mrs. Rivera chose to answer all questions, except those regarding her daughter, Judy. Whenever Hill asked anything referring to the child, the woman would say, "I refuse to answer." Halfway through the questioning, Hill had Mrs. Rivera read a birth certificate from Los Angeles County Feb.

11, 1961, for Judy Rivera which listed Mrs. Rivera as the infant's mother. "N'ow, Mrs. Rivera," said Hill deliberately, as he held up the document "after reading this do you still refuse to acknowledge you have had a daughter born to you named Judy?" "I refuse to answer," she said quietly as she toyed with a necklace and bowed her head. When asked if she had been questioned Sun-Telegram photo by Hal Stoelzle John P.

Quimby seeks to hold assembly seat Quimby asks, 4 Why am I front Gentry bequests S.B. Lighthouse for Blind By HARVEY FE1T Sun-Telffiram Political Editor SAN BERNARDINO "I often wonder," Assemblyman John P. Quimby said wearily, "why, why is it that my campaign seems to he, to me at least, why is it always front page?" Quimby was told that he has been making news since he was elected to the San Bernardino City Council 15 years ago. "Would you write that, would you put that down, how about in the first paragraph?" Quimby asked. So, here it, is another election.

And again, just as it has many times before, Quimby's reelection campaign is getting the big headlines. The reason, of course, is John P. Quimby, who at is the county's senior legislator, in terms of county representation, at either the state or federal level. But more than that, Quimby has been the county's most controversial political figure in 20 years, probably longer. (Former San Bernardino Mayor Al C.

Ballard rates high marks in that regard, but Quimby gets the nod because of longevity.) And controversy marks Quimby's current campaign for a seventh two-year term in the Assembly. As usual, it renters on both the man and his record. Quimby's most, serious opposition stems not from Republicans, hut from fellow Democrats.

TO PLArf YOUR CLASSIFIED AD CALL 889-9666 THE SUN-TELEGRAM OFFICE NEAREST YOU of By TINA FLOW Sun-Telegram Staff Writer SAN BERNARDINO Teachers will strike tomorrow in a one-day protest designed to call public attention to their problems, a San Bernardino Teachers' Association (SBTA) spokesman said last night.

The walkout, dubbed "Dignity Day by the SBTA," will come the day after San Bernardino City Unified School District trustees are scheduled to approve an eight per cent pay raise for teachers, who have asked for an ll1 per cent hike. The board ended negotiations with the Certificated Employes Council (CEC) Tuesday after refusing both direct talks with the teachers and state mediation. Strike plans call for a 10 a.m. community rally in the city convention center plaza and a mass march to the district administration building at 799 N. where teachers will picket from noon to 3:30 p.m., said SBTA president Ron McPeck.

Instructors will also march outside all city schools tomorrow morning, McPeck Clerk-Recorder, sets up two trust funds of $2.10,000 each. The income from one is split between Gentry's sisters, Mrs. Grace Lane of Aptos and Mrs. Alberta Stewart of Santa Ana. Income from the other i designated for Charlotte E.

Arth of San Rernardino, a friend of Gentry's for the past 20 years. Mrs. Arth will receive a life income from the trust fund as well as Gentry's home at Lake Arrowhead. On her death, the trust fund will revert to Gentry's estate. Remaining assets are to be sold, and the proceqds, after taxes, will establish a trust fund for the Lighthouse for the youth commented.

"Let's continue to believe for a healing miracle." The minister denied that he had any special powers of healing, and said that, faith alone was powerless to heal unless accompanied by "intervention by a Supreme Being sometimes known as God's will.

Board members and district administrators have stressed their intention to keep as many schools open as possible during any large-scale walkout. Strike organizers said last night they expect 80 to 90 per cent of the district's 1,382 teachers to forfeit a day's pay and join the boycott. Teachers will return to class Monday, they added. McPesk said the one -day walkout might be averted if teachers could "be assured in an almost public way that they (trustees) had made some move-ment from their eight per cent offer during tonight's board session. "We plan to alert the community through this action that, things are not right in the schools," McPeck said of the CEC decision made about 5 p.m.

yesterday. Teachers refused the board's eight per cent offer and authorized the CEC to call a strike during a mass meeting last week. may aid Blind and the Shriner's Hospital. They will receive the income from the fund for 50 years, and then the fund will be liquidated, and the assets split between them. The size of this fund will vary considerably, depending on Gentry's holdings.

Some old friends maintain Gentry was "the richest man in San Bernardino," which would indicate an estate in excess of $8 million. Others maintain the estate may not come to much more than $1 million. The final trust fund, therefore, could range from many millions of dollars to less than $100,000. This, nf course, would be augmented by one of the other trust funds on the death of Ms. Arth.

The trust fund for Gentry's sisters, at their death, will be diverted to his nieces, Mrs. Virginia Baygulow of Sun Valley and Mrs. Lee Theriot of Aptos. At, their death, it would pass to their heirs. Two nephews, James Stewart of Santa Ana and Mark Stewart of San Bernardino, were left $25,000 each.

Gentry's remaining bequests indicate a combination of whimsy and long-held loyalties toward old friends and employes. Some nf the bequests may have been determined more than a half century ago. These bequests include: Sin.OOO earh to Kate Schwalm. Leone Delnr, Dorothy Grace (if unmarried), and James L. King, Gentry's attorney and executor of his will.

The Republican candidate in the district next fall will be Mrs. Tamara Wolfinbarger, a Fontana secretary.

Mrs. Wolfinbarger, a political novice, is unopposed for the GOP nomination on June 4. But the Democratic nomination is up for grabs; Running against Quimby are Terry Goggin, 32, a San Bernardino attorney; Mike Valles, 44, of Rialto, Quimby's former long-time aide and later a Senate consultant, and San Bernardino City Councilman Norris P. Gregory 47, a partner in a hardwood products manufacturing firm. The three were encouraged to run against an entrenched incumbent by the candidacy two years ago of Mike Lippitt, then a 26-year-old school board member, who nearly defeated Quimby in a rough and tumble primary campaign.

This year, Goggin is applying the heat and Quimby is burning up. Valles for the most part has ignored his old boss in the campaign, concentrating most of his attention on Goggin. The Lippitt campaign convinced him Quimby couldn't win again, Valles says, and for that reason he is going after Goggin.
