The easterners are eying a victory over a tug-of war-team from lumber mills west of the river. The eastern team, howev- er, plans to keep its plans a se- cret so it can present a challenge without giving the westerners a chance to gather up their rope tuggers and have a practice. A hot tip from an unknown source disclosed this secret. Now West Cottage Grove mills have a chance to round up a crew and prepare for a tough tug-of- war. The eastern boys say they have a pretty rugged bunch of loggers that couldn’t be pulled into the Willamette River by all the donkeys west of the rockies.

So by the time Holden had arrived in Portland, he wasn’t what he once had been — what the FBI assumed he still was. 6 No dashing sociopath was he, but a lonely, broken old man, eking out a perilous living at hard labor, living paycheck-to- paycheck in a trailer park.

He was a walking, talking cautionary tale for any young buck thinking of embarking on a life of crime. So now, caught at last and for the fi nal time, looking tired and resigned to his fate, Holden signed the extradition papers that would send him back to Chicago to stand trial for the triple murder. With his sister-in- law’s testimony, it was not a dif- fi cult case for the prosecution to win. He was sent to the Illinois State Prison, knowing it would be his home for the rest of his life. It was. He died there, just two years later. (Sources: Ward, David. Al- catraz: The Gangster Years.
