Description

A police officer of the city of Carlsbad saw two men at the rear door of a bar at 2:00 A.M. on January 6, 1966. One of them was standing beside the door and the other was half-way in or out of a hole chopped in the lower panel of the door. The man in the process of entering or leaving the building was captured at the scene. The other fled into a field behind the bar, carrying a gun and a walkie-talkie. The pursuing officers momentarily lost sight of him, but the defendant was apprehended within minutes by another police officer at a canal in the field behind the bar. This officer did not testify at trial. Romero, a witness who came upon the arresting officer and his prisoner, the defendant, testified that the officer told the witness, "I seen him drop something." Objection was made and the court instructed Romero not to testify in regard to what anyone said. The testimony already in the record was not stricken. Romero further testified that he took the officers flashlight and, at the officers request, went to "pick up the items that he had seen the individual drop." It turned out that these were a walkie-talkie and a gun. The officer first on the scene testified that he heard the arresting officer order someone to drop his gun. The gun and walkie-talkie were introduced in evidence without objection.
