Oakland Man Linked to Assault and Robbery Spree
Oakland suspect Chris William Bishop, 27, was jailed in San Leandro after a spree that allegedly targeted five women. Fingerprints tied him to similar attacks, including one at an Oakland church in July 1956, with additional links to a downtown Oakland yarn and a Vallejo case. Inspector Connolly said other departments sought links to unsolved crimes. Bishop, using several aliases, was paroled from San Quentin in 1956 after burglary. In a separate note, Adlai Stevenson said he will complete his role as foreign port consultant to the administration within 10 days, preparing for NATO talks with the Soviet challenge.
