E. Elmo Bollinger

E. Elmo Bollinger — also recorded as Edward Elmo Bollinger — is named as the prosecuting attorney in the published 10 December 1935 Mohave County trial transcript. A UCLA catalog heading for a 1935 Los Angeles Times photograph gives the dates 1877–1948.

The compilation heading on the published 10 December 1935 transcript names E. Elmo Bollinger as the prosecuting attorney in the trial of Price Johnson and I. C. Spencer in Mohave County, Arizona. The defense attorney named in the same heading is Victor J. Hayek.1

The UCLA Library catalog for a Los Angeles Times photograph titled “Edward Elmo Bollinger, Mohave County attorney, 1935,” dated 28 August 1935, uses the subject heading “Bollinger, Edward Elmo, 1877–1948.” The catalog says he filed charges of open and notorious cohabitation against a polygamy colony in Short Creek, Arizona, and that the photograph appeared with the article “Puzzled: Cult Causes Legal Woes,” Los Angeles Times, 29 August 1935. The years 1877–1948 are from that catalog heading, not from a civil record seen for this page.2
