Here's a "non-police" photo of William "Kaiser" Gaiffe. Paul Diller took a series of about 15 black and white portraits of Bluffton businessmen in the early 1950s. Gaiffe, who was eventually Bluffton's police chief, was owner of the Cloverleaf Market when this was taken. The store was on Vine Street in what is today the Richard Boehr offices.
