Melvin Belli

Melvin Belli, The King of Torts lived right next door. The house built for his parents in 1908 still stands just to the south of the Inn and he is buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery at the end of Knowles Hill Drive. Belli was an actor and lawyer, most noted for his role as attorney for Jack Ruby, after Ruby shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald. His famous quote is, "There may be better lawyers than I, but so far I haven't run into any of them in court."
