Kidnaping of children
Chowchilla wants to forget

CHOWCHILLA, Calif. (AP)
— Men in sweaty workclothes
and a woman in big hair curlers
sipped coffee at the counter of
the Tommy Hawk Restaurant,
once jammed with reporters
from across the nation. Hardly
a word is uttered about the
alarm that went out one year
ago today: 26 children and the
driver of a school bus were
kidnaped.
The story grabbed the world’s
attention, and for a few days
media command posts made
this town buzz with activity.

camp meeting.
Camp meeting has been cut
three days this year. The camp
meeting usually begins on the
Friday before the third Sunday
and continues through the
fourth Sunday. This year, it is
beginning on the Monday after
the third Sunday in July and
continuing through the fourth
Sunday.
The Rev. Dial has been in the
ministry since 1960 and has
pastored 6 churches. Currently,
he is serving as general
superintendent of home
missions and evangelist at the
international headquarters of
the Congregational Holiness
Church. He has held the post for
2 years.
The Rev. Dial speaks at
several camp meetings each
year and does committee work
with the denomination.
Beginning Aug. 1, he will be
pastor of the Gainesville
Congregational Holiness
Church.
The Rev. Dial is married and
the father of 4 children. The
Powell tells a visiting reporter
on a scorching summer day.
“You people from out of town
are more interested in it now
than we are.”
Those who think about the
case at all say they would rath
er forget it. And some think the
only people who care about the
busnaping case are reporters
who have to cover the current
pre-trial hearings for three de
fendants. The hearings, re
cessed today, were to resume
Monday.
Jim Dumas was mayor dur
ing the busnaping. He blames
the media for prolonging the at
tention heaped on this normally
peaceful community of 4,500.

Special singing and prayer
services have been planned for

“What do you guys want to
come back here and stir it all up
for?” he demands. “I would
have just preferred to let the
anniversary day pass without
any notice whatsoever.”
For some of the youngsters
involved in the incident, it isn’t
so easy.
The trauma continues for
Mike Marshall, 15. The kidnap
occurred on the only day he took
the bus home from school.
“I’m more cautious of stuff,”
he says. He was the oldest of the
youngsters kidnaped that day
and has been credited with
helping engineer their escape.
“I don’t think I will ever for
get it. When I come home by
myself ... at night — I wouldn’t
have thought about it before —
but now I think about the kid
naping and get a little scared.”

was found near a dusty road
side, an all-out search was
launched.
But the youngsters and driver
Ed Ray were 100 miles away,
trapped in a buried moving van.
After 18 hours in the makeshift
prison, they managed to burrow
to freedom. None was seriously
injured by the brush with death,
a fact which may have made the
incident easier for this sun
baked town to forget.
Chowchilla does have one
concern as its star of notoriety
fades. Some townspeople feel
that the three young men
charged in the case may never
be tried.
James Schoenfeld, 24, his
brother Richard, 23, and Fred
erick Woods, 24, are being held
in Alameda County as the pre
trial hearings continue. They
have pleaded innocent to kidnap
and robbery charges and are
being held in lieu of $1 million
bail each.
