Station Hold-up'
A (i'W minute earlier In the
evening, at about U:3u o'clock,
John U, Fanning, HO, ownur-op
crulor ol the Time Oil company,
2UUU S. eth, locked hla acrvlc
lutlon and walked toward a
pickup pmkocl about a (iuirtcr
of a block south on the street.
A he approached the cur, a
black Ford sedan drove up, cut
ting across trnin the Intersection
nf the rown Kqulpment compa
ny. "I wai carrying a loud of
run', about eight doon, and a
clean pair of pant mid bud hint
oponecl the door of the pickup
when Iho car came aloud side.
"The driver said. "Stick 'em
up and don't move.
"I didn't."
"Then the other fellow not
out and enme around the cur
and told me to buck up. So I
bucked up to him and he
pureed ma and took everything

they left. Then 1 run buck, broke
the door window nut In the hack,
reached In and opened the door
and called city police and then
alote police.
Shortly after hla call to au
thorities, Fanning said Jack
Elchendurf, 2446 Reclamation,
brought him key to the pickup
and lie reported to city police
where Jncklin waa sitting In the
chiefs office. Chief of Police
Orvlllo Hamilton asked Fan
ning: "Is this the same fellow?"
running said It was. The ser
vice station operator said Jnck
lin was the driver of the cur and
hi companion, Paine, was the
"fellow Hint held tho gun" on
him. It was Jacklin, according
to running, that uttered the
warning "stlck em up."
Car Spotted
As soon as Fanning' cull
reached city police. Car No. 2,
operated by Sam Malsbery, dri
ver, and art Smith, was patrol
ling on Mum near Esplanade. A
moment Inter the officers spot
ted 1037 blnck Ford sedan
with a California license and
carrying two men. They radioed
hark to the station for further
information and advised the
desk man that the rora wouia
not atop on warning and they
"were going after it,"
It is opinion of city police
that tha bandits' car left S. flth
turning on East Main, coming
tlirmiuh the undrruuss toward
Main street. Officers followed
i the car which turned off on N.
flth and guve the siren Just be
Jore the Jefferson street Inter
section. At that point the officers said
the black Ford went Into sec
ond gear, whipped around the
Jefferson street corner where
it came to a sudden stop at the
dead-end street.
Malahcrv and Smith pulled to
the left and called to the two
men to come out. The exchange
of shots enme but a moment la
ter a Pnlne sent a barrage of
shots toward the officers, three
bullets penetrating the police
car and barelv missing the offi
cers. Two crashed through the
windshield and Into the left door
glass. At least nine shots were
fired by the officer Into the
black Ford.
Jacklin stepped from the stall
ed car with his hands over his
head as officers called "Come
on out with your hands up." But
Palna chose to "shoot-It out"
and snarled:
"Come and gel me" and tent
a blast from a sawed off .22
calibre rifle toward the officers.
In tho exchange of gun fire
and the capture of Jacklin,
Paine made h I a get-away.
Whether he scaled the six-foot
canal or run through the ynrd
of R, L. Sutton at 1019 Jeffer
son, was still a matter of con
ecture. Seconds Inter arowd gather
ed and officers admitted they
were hampered In their search
by tho icore of residents, some
chid In their night clothing. Of-
fleers were bcselged by "wit-
fnosses", some claiming they saw
Paine hoist himself over the
fence, others saying he ran
through a nearby yard.
The manhunt spread out from
tOth and Jefferson to various
parts of the city Including tho
area back of The Horalri nnd
News where two mysterious
shots wore heard, and over to
tho Modoc field section where
an even larger crowd watched
police combing the grandstand
and grounds along the canal.
Field lights were turned on to
facilltnte the search.
In the meantime, Jacklin had
been handcuffed and placed In
tho paddy wngon which had ar
rived moments later with OUI-
- cers Jack Linkenbnck and Paul
Robertson armed with riot guns.
Jncklin was transported to tho
city Jail where the Snn Qucntin
escapee told officers ho "was
glad" he was caught."
Chief of Police Hamilton was
contacted by Warden Duffy late
last night, the warden advising
the chief he wns "glnd" Jncklin
wn in custody but said that
"Paine was wanted badly." The
chief received a telegrnm this
morning asking whether or not
Klamtli authorities wished to

snid ho had not had llmo to dis
