Pleads Guilty to Murder in San Francisco
Louis Dabner, self confessed gunpipe murderer, pleaded guilty before Superior Judge Carroll Cook to the murder of M. Unakata, manager of a Japanese bank. He rejected his lawyers advice and Judge Cook’s offer to provide new counsel or assist on appeal. The motive cited was Dabner seeking to turn state's evidence against John Siemsen for a lighter penalty. His father’s influence did not accompany the confession.
