OREGON. 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."
