Beverly Hills, California, October 29, 1930

“Photo shows Ernest Perplies eating a hearty breakfast in jail today after having been captured in the mansion on the Beverly Hills estate of E. L. Doheny by police seeking to solve a mystery of phantom footsteps. Perplies, homeless and hungry, had hidden three days in the cellar, raiding the ice box at night.” Perplies is shown at the Beverly Hills police station, smiling, holding a tin cup in one hand and a sandwich in the other, in a jail cell. Perplies was a 20 year-old transient from East Prussia.
