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.

Ashland Daily Tidings.
(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.

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.
