MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE. MEDFORD, OREGON. TUESDAY. MAY 15, 1934. PAOE TTTREE REVEAL HIDEOUT WHEN NERVE FAILS (Continued from ptrfe one) a trench that soon might have be come her grave. Letter Glvei Clue Apparently unwilling to negotiate with her parents for 10,000 In ran som money awaiting them, the kid napers or their agenta mailed from Chicago to the office of Gov. B. B. Moeur In Phoenix a letter which gave detailed instructions where the girl might be found. It was this letter, speeded to Tuc son yesterday by Sergeant Riley W. Bryan of the Arizona highway patrol, that sent Pima County Attorney Clarence Houston and his assistant, Carlos Robles, June's uncle, In a frantic dash to a spot nine and one half miles southeast of here where the dark-eyed little git! was found. There in a trench six feet long, two and a half feet wide and three feet deep that had been scooped out of the ground and surrounded by clumps of cactus and mesqulte bush, Houston found the girl, chained by her ankles to a stake. Victim Skeptical. Alert, though seemingly dazed by her experience, June at first was skeptical of Houston as he ap proached. "Are you dead, honey?" he called. "Hello," a weak voice answered. "Do you know me, honey?" Hous ton said. "No," June replied, gazing "at him squarely and making no effort to help him release her bonds. "Do you know 'Lechi?' " Houston asked, using June's nickname for her Uncle Carlos, who was rapidly ap proaching. "Oh. yes," she cried, scrambling to get free. Nearby, Houston found a piece of tin on which lay the key fitting pad locks on June's ankles. He tossed It to her and she freed herself to be pulled by willing arms from her grave-like prison. Everything was found as Indicated in the Chicago letter, a letter which probably wouldn't have been written, authorities said, If the kidnapers had dared negotiate for the ransom. Feared to Claim Ransom But in many days of official with drawal from the case, there was no word to Indicate the abductors were ready to claim their demand. A second ransom note, received by the family last week, only reiterated an original demand for money as the price of June's freedom, the family Indicted. Hazily, as Houston and Carlos Ro bles drove her to the home of her grandfather, June told them how she had been Imprisoned In the desert since the day she was seized. Au thorities Indicated other evidence corroborated this story. She said two men who called each other ''Bill" and "Will had visited her on-ly twice, during .the "19 days and once took away the pillow and mattress whloh had been her only comfort during the Imprisonment. Houston said the trench contained a can of water, a loaf of fairly fresh bread and some wilted vegetables and oranges apparently left for the girl. Chain Leaves Scars Her ankles scarred by the cruel chain, June was too weak to walk without aid, although she tried gamely, and finally Houston and her uncle allowed her to go through the motions of walking as they supported her en route to their automobile. On her arrival at the home of her grandfather, Bernabe Robles, where the prostrated mother clasped her tearfully, June asked for her "bun nies'' and sat on the floor to cut paper dolls before she could be per suaded to undress for bathing and the needed rest she lacked. The letter from Chicago, airmailed and unsigned, was In the haidwrlt ing of the person who sent a demand for 15,000 ransom to Fernando Ro bles, June's father, two hours after a lie was kidnaped, authorities said. So ended the mystery of June's whereabouts, & mystery that at lmes had sent hundreds of cowboys, ranch ers, war veterans and picturesque Mexican searchers in frantic hunts over the far-flung desert country In always vain efforts to find the little gin. iSil Quickly, easily and ittexhensively reached by .

(Conttnuea irom Page One) sional leaders have been thinking about quitting June 9. Soothsaying politicians here figure that Plnchot will defeat Reed In the Pennsylvania primary, but have their doubts about Pinchot's ability to de feat the Democrat, Joe Guffey, in the fall. The White House still insists It is taking no part In the primaries, but It went to the extent of having Plnchot as an overnight guest re cently. The Insiders say It was not because Mr. Roosevelt likes Plnchot more, but Reed less. The Democrat, Guffey, will probably sleep In the White House before the November election. GRADUATION TALK W.

Gleemen, Guest Artists Please Large Audience (y Irva Fcwell) The program cut short by the Ill ness of Miss Frances Mullen, guest pianist, disappointed the large audi ence at the Gleemen's spring con cert last evening at the high school, but It did not dnmpen the enthu siasm for Miss Dorothy Wagner's dancing nor the two group numbers by the Gleemen, under the direction of James Stovens, with Sobastlan Apollo, assistant director, at the piano. The Gleemen's first group of num bers was so well received that "Jim" Stevens, smiling appreciatively, brought the chorus back to sing "Deep River" as the encore. Her technique faultless, Miss Mul len gave a fine rendition of Chopin's Etude Opus 10:12. Beauty, shading of tone, and artful touch, were com bined to give a wonderful Interpreta tion to Pastorale Variee, by Mozart, Miss Mullen's second number. With Miss Mullen unable to con tinue with her part of the program, the Gleemen returned to their second group of songs. George Peckham's incidental solo in the selection from Robin Hood was applauded until ho repeated the bass solo. Mr. Apollo was required to take a bow for his arrangement of Wagon Wheels, which the Gleemen sang twice as their final number. Completely harmonious were the interpretative dance numbers as por trayed by the beautiful Miss Wagner, whose ease and grace seemed but an expression of enjoyment. Applauso was overwhelming when sho appeared In the Portuguese Peasant Dange for her winsome bash fulness was an ideal represenatlon. Adrienne's May Clearance Sale C!na tft.
