PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. APRIL 19. 1934. Society and Clubs Edited by Etta Nealon Hamilton LOFF Preliminary stops for tha securing of a parole for Robert Glenn, sen tenced to IS years In state prison, for an abortive bank robbery attempt of the State Bank of Central Point, above five years ago, have been taken by friends. Glenn will be eligible for parole, when he has served five years. He ha been a model prisoner, at Salem. The district attorney's office Is said to look favorably upon his appllca tlon for freedom, and, Inclined to favor It. Glenn was convicted by a Jackson county Jury, and was represented by Attorney Edward C. Kelly, now at Washington. D. C. He was an auto mechanic, and bore a previous good reputation. County officials tend to the belief that Glenn, through a false sense of loyalty, protected a friend, and that he was Induced to try ban ditry, by another. ' This point was never satisfactorily cleared. ' He of fered In defense an alibi that he was travelling In an auto between this city and Ashland at the time of the robbery. The robbery attempt was made at noon. Glenn, the testimony showed fled In a green sedan, which was found the next day In the Blackwell Hill district with a bullet hole In the rear of the tonneau. Alvln Tollefson, then cashier of the bank, now serving two and one-halt years for confessed perpetration of a bank robbery hoax, three years ago, fired the shots. Tollefson Is eligible for parole next month. He- la sta tioned In the receiving office of the penitentiary. The Glenn case attracted wide at tention at the time of the robbery and nia trial.

The arm started to swell from the wrist to the shoul der. Medical aid was secured, the wound drained and relief secured. Boussom a day or two later, while in his home, started to sweep with a broom, and the arm swelled with al most lightning rapidity. The injury was again drained of blood. For a time it waa feared a blood clot would form, and that complications would arise, necessitating amputation. This danger la now past, and Boussom la recovering with his arm In a sling.

"My taxes in California have been cut almost exactly In half by the sales tax." he said, "and I see no reason why It wouldn't do the same for the people of this state.
