THURSDAY, Youth Keeping Promise To A tone for Misconduct Robe re Parker is making good at the Zagle Point home of Mr. and Mr. Victor Tessltore and la keeping bla pledge to lead a useful life, Mrs. Teasltore Informed the Mall Tribune today. Robert is the 18-year-old orphan who assisted another youth In hold ing up Robert F. Cronln In his Shady Spring service station, making off with .J6.25 after returning part of the cash loot they first took from the till. The youths were arrested by Ashland, police. A month later, on April 23. Robert was granted a sus pended sentence tn circuit court by Judge H. D. Norton, Mr. Tessltore, after reading about the plight of the youngster In the Mall Tribune, hav ing interceded on his behalf. Mr. Tessltore offered the youth a home and Judge Norton and District At torney Prank J. Newman agreed the boy ahould have another chance. "My husband talked with the lad and came to the conclusion, as did all who had dealing with his case, that Robert really was not bad," Mrc. Tessltore said. "So my husband de cided to give the lad a home and study his habits closely. "I was also deeply Impressed with the boy when he was brought to our home. His honest face gleamed with Joy as he once again entered a place he could call home. I have observed his every move and act and can see only an honest -meaning normal boy who had lost the love of a mother and father who were killed In an auto accident on a railroad crossing, leaving Robert an orphan at 13 with not a single relative to care for him. "Robert Is a good worker, cheerful and obedient. So far we can find no fault with him and he Is very thankful. He speaks tenderly of his mother and he says his new life re minds him of the years he had par ents to care for him.' Mrs. Tessltore quoted Robert as follows In relating his experiences leading up to the robbery: After his mother and father died, he was cared for by neighbors, his work paying for his rom and board. When he was 18 he went to work on his own. He was employed In Kan sas and later In San Francisco. He was told he could earn more money In a lumber camp In Wash ington. He left San Francisco In search of a new Job In a Washington camp. When he arrived there he was told he was not strong enough for such heavy work. Lighter Jobs did not pay enough for him to live satisfactorily. He started out to re turn to California. His meager savings soon vanished and he hitch-hiked and rode on freight trains to Klamath Falls. There he met a youth who wanted to tag along with Robert. The two boys got to the Shady Springs place where they had lunch and chatted with Mr. Cronln. They . 4 cVf Y MAT 6, 1937. had started out again when suddenly Robert's companion aald: "Let's go back and hold him up. I can't do anything like' that," Robert protested. "Come on." said his companion; "you can't back out now. Here's a pistol. You hold him up. I'll take the cash. Robert continued to protest but suddenly "a strange look came out of my pal'a eyes and I felt a sicken ing feeling creep over me. I seemed to lose my senses and before I knew what I was doing I wss carrying the pistol. For a moment I realized what It all meant and I unloaded the gun so It wouldn't go otf accidentally In my nervousness." Hla companion took the money but Robert persuaded him to return half of It. Then the two youths ran for cover In the brush on the hillsides, Robert dropping his suitcase when It became burdensome. It contained .most of his belongings. When dark ness fell they msde their way to Ashland and were eating lunch In a lunchroom when a policeman spotted them and put them under arrest. "I felt that I did not wish our Medford people and neighbors to think we were harboring a criminal tn our home or bringing one Into their midst," Mrs. Tessltore said In explaining why she was relating Rob ert's experience. "We are Just en deavoring to give this boy a lift so that he may become a useful citizen when he comes of age. "If we can do this I shall feel very grateful as we came here four years ago and found" the Medford people very fine, loyal friends. I might add that before coming here we wrote to the chamber of commerce and re ceived a very fine letter from Mr. Banwell and literature about this county. Mr. Banwell's letter was so sincere that It Impressed us deeply. "We bought our apricot orchard of Mr. White of Brown fe White, and a finer man than Mr. White we never wish to meet. If we had known him a lifetime we could not have missed him more when he was called to eternal rest. "I have traveled In many foreign countries and In most of our United States but there Is something unique about Medford and vicinity with their fine people that I admire in my quiet way. we feel grateful to all who made us welcome when we came as strangers four years ago. "And now Robert Is grateful. He Is grateful to the Judge, the district attorney and the Jail matron and attendants who tried to ease his men tal suffering during his confinement In Jail when he thought he would go Insane brooding over what he had done. Their kindly care saved him and now he Is thankful." Phone 643 Well aaui away yout refuse city Sanitary Service CCC BOY KILLED BY FALLING TREE BinBU. Mav S.rlPi Lloyd O. Wolf.
