Police Sergeant Paul Parson said
today the "embattled farmer"

stilled a healthy respect in Gor
don W. Johnson and George F.
Carter, each 27, Portland.
Parson said the men were held

of escaping from Cottage Grove

them for state police. They said,
Parson related, that they drove
up a side road and stopped their
car near a thicket.
Suddenly they found a rifle-
toting farmer on one side and
the farmer's wife, armed with
shotgun, on the other.
"We had a hard time convinc
ing them we were not the par
ties who had been stealing their
turkeys," Parson said Carter told
him. "In fact, even the farmer
had a hard Job to talk his wife
out ot shooting us Just on genersl
principles." -
Johnson and Carter, who Par
son declared admitted the at
tempted Roseburg holdup, said
they lost no time in returning to
the highway where state police
