Cowboy film extra Jerome "Blackjack" Ward (beard, right) re-enacts his confrontation with fellow extra John Ainsworth Tyacke a.k.a. Johnny Tyke for Lieutenant W.A. Ellenson (left) and other police. Blackjack allegedly shot Tyke with a .45 in Gower Gulch, the name given to the area near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street where film extras hang out waiting for work. Ward entered a plea of not guilty based on self defense and temporary insanity. He was ultimately set free after many witnesses attested to Tyke's violent nature.
