HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Thursdav. .Tulv Ifi. in.W PAGE 3 A Thief With Keen Mind, Charge Names Constantly Analyzed Self ?Sk. LOS ANGELKS (AP)-At 24 a euccess, by some standards, he wanted to start over to turn the page and become an entirely new person. That's why he worked so hard at his adopted trade burglary says Gordon Kllis Atteberry. He was good at it. He says he carried off more than 200 burg laries, which netted him $100,000 or more. He kept three luxurious apartments at ouce. He eluded of- Iicers in almost 48 states, Canada and Mexico. When caught, he was dropping nis last nickel in a Reno, Nev., parking meter. All through his months of" ex citing flight from one police trap to another, the keen-minded law- breaker kept trying to figure him self out. "I want to see what makes me tick," he said Wednesday on re turning to Los Angeles. . . Atteherry worked successfully as a professional hypnotist, actor, writer and photographer of nudes. He studied engineering at the Uni versities of Colorado and Wiscon sin. He's described as an expert at Electronics, Still there was something lack ing in his life. . "I planned to reduce my age by five years, assume a new identity and eventually enter the Univer sity of Florida as a premedical student majoring in psychology," he says. So he became a burglar. "I'd been capering (committing burglaries) for at least five or six months," he said. "I averaged four or five jobs a night, very seldom ever taking a night off. I averaged in money about $100 a night." rolice found $100 ,000 worth of loot in his apartments last March They got onto him after a hus band complained Atteberry was stealing his wife. His confession is sprinkled with hair-raising escapes. In Kansas he shot a policeman "to scare him' and swam the Missouri River, then hid in a hollow log for 8 or 10 hours. In Reno he said he de cided it would be easy to blow up the jail but he refrained. In Montana he bluffed through a roadblock. In New England he "pulled a few jobs." He put 40,- 000 miles on a car he stole in Hollywood. He was ordered held (or pre liminary hearing in lieu of $105, 00" bail. He professed to be glad he'd been caught. 'I want to find myself so I can operate successfully in society, and relate myself to society, he said. "Perhaps I can make a few white marks to offset the black ones." Said Detective Sgt. Tom L. Rog ers, who rode with him from Reno to Los Angeles: "He's always analyzing him self." CITY BRIEFS her Jack Henley Wednesday night said the Oregon Centennial wagon train trespassed on his property. He swore out a warrant for the arrest of the train's leader, Henley appeared before Justice of the Peace Lynn Sherman in King Hill, Idaho, made his com plaint and the warrant was sworn out. The warrant bore only the name John Doe. The justice later said that Hen ley told him the wagon train camped Wednesday night on his property without permission. .A sheriff's deputy was given the warrant to serve on the leader of the train. There was no immed iate indication when it would be served. Henley later told newsmen: "They've got a full camp around a tenant house on my property. No one asked my permission. They just moved in and took possession." The train camped Wednesday night between Glenns Ferry and Mountain Home, about 40 iijiles south of here. The wagons were scheduled to move into Mountain Home for a civic celebration to day. , The seven wagons and the 27 persons making the trip are en route from Independence, Mo., to Independence, Ore., as part of Oregon's Centennial celebration.
