Frenchwoman
Found Guilty
CAP.SON CITY, Ncv. ( Tile
French divorcee who pleaded that
she made a bedroom bargain with
Millionaire La Vcre Redfield ' to
steal his (1,500,000 safe, faces five
to 10 years in prison for directing
that fantastic burglary.
A federal court Jury Wednesday
found Mrs. Jeanne d'Arc Mlchaud,
30. guilty of cariylng more than
S147.000 of the loot across state
lines.
The Jury rejected Uie petite,
dark-haired woman's contention
j Uial she gnincd Redflcld's consent
j to the theft In a -bedroom tryst at
i the millionaire's gloomy Reno
' mnn-sion Dec. 28.
A special suicide watch was pu'
; over the Canndian divorcee. She
previously attempted suicide and
j said on Ihe wilness stand:
I "It is preferable to this shamo
. of brlngUig out my private life as
I La Vere Redfield's sweetheart."
Redfield denied in court he con
, sented to the theft, but was so
hesitant and evasive that Federal
i Judge Roger Foley's temper flared
al the blue-Jenned financier.
An amazing new touch to a case
thai will go down In FBI files as
one of the strangest in history
csme Wednesday with this revela
tion: Redfield still has 210,000 sil
ver dollars cached In a secret
basement room of his field stone
residence. '
The 270,000 cartwheels, which
weigh almost 10 tons, were dis
covered by FBI agents, acting
upon coded Instructions found tn
a note taken from Mrs. Mlchaud
upon her arrest.
The note, with a will and other
personal papers, was among the
currency. Jewels and securities
choked into the millionaire's small
bedroom safe when It wns carted
away Feb. 29.
FBI men chiseled through 39
Incites of plaster, stone and con
crete to find the secret room,
which also contained a vast quan
tity of postage slumps.
Many of the silver dollars and
stamps arc believed to be collec
tors Items worth considerably more
than fnce value.
The prosecution made a strong
argument Uint tr Redfield had con
sented to the Uicft, he certainly
would not have left the coded In
structions and the directions to his
hidden silver pile in the safe.

firm flow of water bromgnt an ad- tag m nurnber mttL He
verse reaction from farmers and Mld lt woukt mmatT,. to d0
farm groups who fear there might
not be enough water for present
irrigation use and future expansion

No Trace
Found Of
Lowd Killer
MEDFORD tl Armed men
moved carefully through the tim
bered wilds 40 miles north of here
Thursday In cautious search of a
wily old prospector whose rifle
killed a state patrolman Tuesday.
Civilian friends of the (lain man.
Patrolman Phil B, Lowd, 61, Joined
state police and sheriff's aides.
Tear gas was pumped Into old
mine tunnels.
There was an effort to seal off
the Persist region in the Southern
Oregon Cascade Mountains, and
uie search was chiefly a close .
watch of areas where their quarry
might appear.
The hunted prospector was
George Dunkin. 67, a man known
inrougn the woods as an eccentric
who was not to be crossed without
expecting trouble.
'CABIN FEVER"
"He ha 'cabin fever'." Police
Capt. Paul Parson said. "He has
lived In his cabin at the headwaters
of Elk Creek 23 years." The ex
pression "cabin fever" Is some
times used to describe those who
are unbalanced after long periods
of solitary life.
ronce said the mountains
throughout the area whera Dnnkln
could roam are filled with shelter
cabins, many of them known only
hj oio-ume prospectors,. Tunnels
run Into Uie mountain sides to
mark long-ago mining sites. Many
of their entrances are brush
screened. About a dozen of them had been
located and gassed by Thursday
morning, police said.
Under Capt. Parson In the
search are IS state police with Lt.
Paul Morgan In charge - at the
scene, three sheriff's aides and .
uncounted woodsman friends of
Lowd. i?..,.' , .
HUNDREDS ; '.'
"Hundreds would like to go in
isroor
to nam aown iTungrn, a police
lt. A careful hunt and close watch
on places where Dunkin mieht
turn up, he said, was best.
This might take a kmc? time. In
Western Washington such a quest
ran on for nearly two years until
the hunted killer was slain In the
spring of 1913. Oregon haa had
similar mints running- Into two
months and more not far from the
current scene.
It wss near Dunkln's cabin. 11
miles from a paved road, that
Lowd was killed as be and Patrol
man Charles Olfenbacher went In
to arrest him, Dunkin was wanted
