Sergeant Richard H. Trembath was returning to his home in Berkeley after two weeks of training at the Academy in Sacramento, when his motorcycle collided head-on with an automobile in the middle lane of a three-lane highway near the Carquinez Bridge. Trembath, 34, was killed on what was to have been his last day as a motorcycle officer. He had just been promoted to sergeant and was to have been transferred to patrol car duty the next day.

Patrolman Thomas A. Keays, who was born in Irelan in 1885, died on Nov. 20, of exhaustion shortly after pulling a mangled body from underneath a streetcar in the downtown area. He had been with San Diego Police Department for 16 years.

He was survived by his wife, Dolores Agnes, and six children: Thomas William, Marie Agnes, Madeline Elizabeth, Robert John, Myrtle Lillian and James Lawrence.
