but right now firefighters really attacking the fire in this attic a few seconds, a few minutes ago. that's where we saw flames shooting out. live here with breaking news in san jose. george kiriyama, nbc bay area news. >> george kiriyama in the berryessa neighborhood of san jose, coffering a four-alarm fire. >>> we have some other headlines tonight. gay conversion therapy. it's a practice aimed at making gay people straight. >> but today the senate passed a bill to ban the therapy. marianne favro looks at both sides of this controversial issue and talks with a bay area man who went through conversion therapy. >> reporter: the form of psycho therapy uses different tactics aimed at making gay people straight. well talked to one man in san francisco who has tried it. and he is worried if kids undergo conversion therapy, it could make them feel being gay is a disease that can be cured. for most of his life, peter drake lived the life of a straight man, but realized he was not being true to himself. so he sought help to remain heterosexual. >> i went through three years of conversion the

for "confederates in the attic," i really have to tell you. you trooped around more battlefields with more bloated bodies to get into the mind of the re-enactors and those. with john brown, given all that you've done and know about this man, what was the most profoundly riveting thing, once you got into his mind, that you found compelled him to this lifelong ambition of ridding slavery from this country? and with his preparation to die for it. >> right. yeah. i mean, the wonder with this story is, yeah, i went to the places where the history happened and walked in his footsteps in kansas and harper's ferry and other places, but we also have his letters and we have his writing and the letters of all of his family. these were wonderfully literate people, and brown, though not a well-educated man, had a wonderful writing style. thank god his handwriting is legible, which i learned is not the case. there's one character in the story where you just simply can't -- you can turn it upside-down, you try all those tricks. you open your eyes and close t

whether it is confederates in the attic or other articles have you written.m gettysburg to monticello would like to open this perhaps gratuitously with a little bit of your insight and thoughts about this landscape and how it it inspires us. >> i thought you would ask something did you have which is why i didn't write this book, why lived in waterford. as the crow flies we are 15 miles from harper's ferry. hi to move to massachusetts before i thought great book. you know. my backyard. my former backyard. yeah, i mean. speaking to this subject at least, first of all, i mean, i wrote "confederates in the attic" because of what happened 50 yards from here when re-en t re-enactors stumbled into my front yard in waterford because they were re-enact for a movie here. it is a great historic landscape. with this book, i think part of what i drew -- drew me to write about it is that harper's ferry is still so intact. it is an incredible mix of natural beauty and historical hauntedness really. the sights associated with brown are there. you can go to the kennedy farm w

she wanted to clean up in the attic. in our attic there are lots of suitcases and closets from my grandmother and mother, and gerdy went up to clean up, and she got nosey, and she opened a trunk or a closet. come on, tell us about it. how did you find it? >> what did you think then when you found all of this? >> it was amazing. i could not -- i couldn't believe it because there were so many letters and photographs and more than 6,000, can you imagine, and i had to read all this archive. it was amazing. i had to do -- had to read and work with it for two and a half years. >> what do you think all of this says? i mean, is there something, gerdy, that really stood out to you that it says about your -- about the family and the times in which they were living? >> yes. they talked about like when auto was in auschwitz and he can come home and when he road from amsterdam after the war and before the war -- maybe you can tell a little bit about. >> well what about -- >> i have another -- i actually have another question for budd

lock your kids in the attic. that's the kind of town you're dealing with. as we're seeing this through the idse of scout, a child, we have -- through the eyes of scout, a child, we have to dig into it ourselves to see what's going on and once you do you realize that atticus doesn't have a chance. there's nobody to appeal to. he's going to lose. and the moral of "to kill a mockingbird" isn't that atticus finch is a great lawyer or the lawyer that we should follow. the moral of the book and the movie is that the republican lawyer won't work any more. we need a new kind of lawyer. the only way to clean up a town like this is to bring in the federales. you know, everybody's got to go to jail. i mean, these -- you know, if you think about it, who is the real hero of "to kill a mockingbird"? who's the one who sees clearly? it's not atticus finch. he's not even a very intelligent father. i love him. i love him. but who lets your kids out in the middle of the night wearing -- dressed as farm animals and fruit when there's a craze killer who's vowed to get them? you

after that film had been up in an attic for 70 years. you know, it's nitrate film. we're talking -- i could have been buying something that was virtually useless. but i took the risk. i took a leap of faith. and as a result, got it transferred, sent it on to scottsdale, arizona, where they digitized it, et cetera, et cetera, and eventually it was sold in new york city through my agent to yale university. a picture speaks 1,000 words, a moving picture speaks a million words. it had happened nowhere else. you might have had an element of someone similar to doing a reverend jones in a harlem, new york. but not running around oklahoma, not running around the southwestern region of the country. everyday life, special events of community. parades and commencements and the homemakers group. it's a slice of life that he -- if he had not had the wisdom to capture via film would have been lost forever. i've never seen any film before in my life. blacks that own oil wells here in oklahoma. covered several families, and i'm not talking about dozen, two or three dozen barrels a

the third story was an attic space some had been converted into a living space the chief tells me they believe the fire started on the second or third floor. turns out, even though the house was abandoned there was a man in the basement when the fire broke out he's okay he was able to get out on his own without being injured which is surprising because the battalion chief believe the fire was burning for a long time before crews arrived before they go the call around 4:15 this morning. he explained what that tells them about this fire. >> typically, if the fire is that big before we get here and it is an occupied building that makes us a little suspicious. in this case since it was vacant it would have had time to build before anyone noticed there was no one up in those floors. >> reporter: as far as who noticed it within neighbor tells me it was her six -- noticed it, one neighbor tells me it was her 16-year-old son who woke her and they called 911. back out here live again, the crews have moved into the clean-up, mop-upstage you can see water running from the inside of that -- that h

well, part of his inheritance was this particular home in which he went into the attic and found all 27 cannisters. we met halfway between tulsa and langston in a community, willie guthrie's hometown, and i looked at the cannister. i was familiar with reverend ss jones on two counts. had he a church in muskogee, part of the black town tours that a good friend of mine, we would congregate, people from all over the country would come to this black town tour and the headquarters we did this out of was muskogee. well, we would meet in reverend jones' church, had on the cornerstone his name on it, ref recommended ss jones. just one of those things i never forgot. i thought i'm familiar with this person. secondly, about ten years before, through department of tourism here in oklahoma a friend of mine that worked there shared with me someone had mailed them all of about a minute of reverend jones clip. and i was so intrigued with that. i could never put that out of my mind. so i had kind of one up on the seller. i'm familiar with jones. so as a result, we negotiated a price. he was on the m

it was connected by a breezeway of sorts and the fire spread into the attic, a common attic area over the top of all of these garden apartments. the initial attack was made inside the fire department. however, the fire quickly spread into the attic area and across the tops of an adjoining garden apartment. so, in total, we have had about 20 units affected by fire, water, smoke, or a combination of all of them. and the fire was rapidly advancing and is not a sprinkler building. but the volume of fire that the firefighters had when they first got here was extensive. one firefighter was treated and transported to a local trauma center with serious non-life- threatening injuries. potentially related to heat and the second firefighter we transported to a local hospital with a minor orthopedic injury. and in total, we have approximately 80 to 100 families we're trying to gather that information that will be displaced and there were no civilian injuries, thankfully, in this fire and our fire investigators are trying to determine the origin and cause of the fire. the red cross is on the scene

the fire began in the attic about 10:30 last night. but crews had a hard time fighting the flames because the building it has a metal roof. the good news, no one was inside at the time. firefighters say it does not look like the fire was intentionally set, but they are looking for the cause. >>> we can tell you an autopsy is set to be performed on the body of a woman found in a very nasty scene just stuffed inside a trash can in pleasanton. this gruesome discovery made yesterday morning near dublin canyon road on laurel creek drive not too far from the 586/80 interchange. somebody who lives nearby called in to report a suspicious garbage can in the bushes. when police looked inside that black garbage can, they found a decomposing body. the coroner's office, well, they say they will use fingerprints to i.d. this victim. >>> 6:35, the man at the center of the sierra lamar murder investigation due back in court next week to enter a plea. antolin garcia-torres appeared before a judge on thursday. he did not enter a plea deal during his bri

the building was boarded up and most of the fire was in the attic area. the fire department decided to take a defensive position. it was a stubborn fire during the attic area. state court a ton of water on it. the flames kept reigniting. firefighters stayed back and for water on from the outside before they were able to actually put it out. they finally got the flames out 15-20 minutes ago. you can see firefighters on the second story doing a cleanup. no one was injured in this fire. my mother king is still closed down. it looks like the fire is under containment. now, the question is how did the fire start. >>will: this is no longer considered an extremely dangerous situation. around 5:45 a.m. the hazmat team was able to go inside and open the car. they saw the contents and the bottle. they did air samples and it turns out it was just hydrogen sulfide which is a very noxious gas. it basically small like rotten eggs but it is not explosive. this is still a shelter in place for authorities to continue doing their job. this happened at 1:30 a.m. when a husb

they let it run through the attic and keep bombarding it with water through the windows.her interesting fast set, it is so boarded up inside the chief told me the reason you are seeing the flare-ups is they can tackle the flames in one section then they can't get into the next section because it is divided up by boards that's why the occasional flare-up as they get through each segment of the house. a lot of neighbors watching this unfold. one woman told us how scary she thinks this is. >> very scary. i was just here -- [ unintelligible ]h8[3t >> reporter: a lot of folks sharing that sentiment. the first call did come in at 4:15 at martin luther king way and 29th boulevard. we believe smoke is impacting the 980 freeway in this area. it has been a long fight, crews are making progress. again, since nobody was inside at the time, they've been able to take their time and defensively go after this fire and go slow and steady and make sure they get it completely out. katie marzullo, abc7 news. >>> we are following breaking news in fremont. firefighters are on the scene of a ha
