the man'a back and dragged him
Into the darkened recessea under the
wain. There Salto'a body was found,
clad only In a ripped shirt.

lion's escape, hurriedly formed a
posse of officers, firemen and vol
unteers. An armed cordon was
thrown around a four-block area
along the Atlantic ocean.
Aa hours passed horror In the city

the posse combed the labyrinth of
piling. 1
Then Patrolman John Oarea, cross-J

bounding toward him. He waited,
pistol ready. When the animal came

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.

Joint In Tta Juana and when he
stopped In the postoffloe at San Di
ego on hts way home he heard of a
$60,000 assignment about to leave In
a mall truck. 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.
Now a philosopher, Gardner be
lieves youth should be protected
against gambling Joints. Other views
he has developed from hla prison ex
periences :
Paroles should be extended only to
first offenders."
First offenders should be segregat
