Until five weeks ago the 300 pound killer, known aa "Tufty," waa one of two Hons strapped to a motor cycle aldecar while the driver roared around a eteep-walled bowl, called the "Wall of Death." Since then "Tuffy" had been Inactive. Some time laat night In a man ner aa yet undetermined "Tuffy" ea caped from the cage and roamed the nearby boardwalk, fleven weeks ago he broke loose also and at that time waa forced back Into hla cage, but not before scratching hla owner.

Roy Gardner, notorious ex -train robber and prison escape artist, who will appear on the stage of the Rlalto theater at nil shows Sunday and Monday. Gardner says he ts oat of prison this time for good. Roy Gardner waa back In Medford today after a lapse of 17 years. Today Gardner waa a, talkative, philosophical gentleman who was eager to meet the public. When he was here In September. 1921, he waa an uncommunicative fugitive from Justice whose main objective was to keep out of the public eye. At that time Gardner had Just es caped from McNeil Island peniten tiary and had sped to Medford on a motorcycle after being shot in both legs during hla escape. He recalled to day that when he reached Medford his wounded legs were bothering him and he had to hole up somewhere to recuperate. Gardner said be chose Eagle Point for his retreat. There he remained for nine days in a boarding house. Other boarders wero fruit pickers, he related. Once, while he waa hiding, out, ha came to Medford for a shave. The barbers and the men sitting around the shop were discussing him and hla escape from th Island pen, be said. He got quite an earful about the desperado that he was, he admitted. But he had bleached his hair and otherwise disguised himself and no one got wise to hla Identity during the time he was holed up here, he stated. Gardner, once a notorious train and mall robber who could not be kept In prison until he waa tossed Into the grim Alcatras in flan Fran cisco bay. Is now a reformed crim inal who baa paid his debt to so ciety. He waa released last June 90 from Alcatras where he spent 36 months to complete a 25-year stretch for train robbery. Now 04 yeara old. the graying Gardner la on a lecture tour to teach that crime really does not pay. He will be on the stage of the Rlalto theatre at all shows Sunday and Monday to tell of his experiences and to answer questions from the au dience. He la also working In a movie to be produced by Universal, On hla present tour he Is accompanied by his manager, Harold Simpson. Gardner recalls being In Medford several times between 1016 and 1021. While on hla way to McNeil Island he escaped from the Shasta Limited In 1021 at Roseburg. He was caught In Centralis, Wash., but escaped again after he had been put In the lalana prison. That was when he holed up In Eagle Point. Escaping from guards and prisons was one of Onrner's pastimes. Not until he was thrown Into Alcatras were his escaping proclivities defi nitely ended. "Alcatraa la aa close to an escape- proof prison aa you can get," he commented. While In Alcatma Gardner often came In close contact with Al Ca pon and Indeed once had a ftght with the former lord of the under world, he related. "Did you whip AW" Gardner was asked. No. he replied, -the fight didn't last long enough for either one to lick the other. Fights In prison dont last more than a minute. The guarda are too quick. They break them up in a Jiffy." Capone. who ts scheduled for re lease next February 12. la definitely and completely Insane, Oardner declared. Gardner said he started his crim inal career In San Diego. Cal., in 1020 when he waa 36. He had been cleaned out at the Mexican gambling CAMHNAK. A NEW SUPERIOR U! UX EE Now Here Deliveries Now IT COSTS NO MORE See Our Announcement Sunday! F. E. SAMSON CO.

Desperately In need of money to make up for his gambling lossea, he suddenly decided to hold up the mall truck. He did and was offon his career of crime.
