Willis Carto — Where He Lived
According to stories Carto had published in his tabloid, The Spotlight, this sprawling mansion with its grove of fruit trees and panoramic view was the west coast office of Liberty Lobby.
If you were a Southern California subscriber to The Spotlight, you should have dropped in at the west coast office
and see how they were doing. (Both offices are now closed.) Hope you kept your eyes peeled for their German Shepherd guard dog, though!
You can also read a description of the west coast office of Liberty Lobby
in the search warrant used in the raid on Carto’s estate.
We may never know if this is simply irony or if Carto planned it this way, but his estate was located at what is referred to locally as Rancho Rincon del Diablo,
which translates to Devil’s Corner Ranch.
Some coincidence, huh?

The Cartos used to claim that this property was owned by the Herford Corporation. Elisabeth Carto was born in Herford, Germany. Some coincidence, huh?
