Arizona LasU Makes
 Death The Penalty
 For Gardrer's Crime

Had Roy Gardner been prose- cuted under the laws of the state of Arizona instead of being turned over to the United States officials he might have been punished by death for his attempt to rob the mail car on the Santa Fe train at the station here Tuesday night.
 An old Arizona territorial law which was carried over into the penal code when Arizona became a state provides:
 "EVery person who goes upon or boards any railroad train, car or engine with the intention of robbing any passenger or other person on such train, car or en- zine of any personal property thereon in the possession or care or under control of any such pas senger or other person is guilty of felony.
 "Any person violating any of the provisions of the three pre- ceding sections shall be punished by death or by imprisonment in the state prison fer not less than 10 years, at the discretion of the jury trying the case, or of the court upon the plea of guilty"

QUESTION OF NEW
 JAIL AGAIN BEFORE
 CITY COMMISSION

Do the people of Phoenix really want a new jail or is the criticism of the present one being voiced by minority? This question came up during the session of the city com mission yesterdaE when cons1dera- tion was given to a contract from the Gamewell Fire Alarm and Telegraph company for the installation of the police signal system.
 At the suggestion of City Manager V. A. Thompson and upon the rec ommendation of City Commissioner Fred O. Adams, the members of the city commission voted to withhold any decision regarding the contract until next week. Although Attorney R. c. Sloan approved the contract as to form and the city commission is ready to accept it, the city man 1 ager suggested that before awarding the contract for installing the police signal system an attempt be made to | furnish new quarters for the police i department and the city jail.
 | If the people of Phoenix really de- 1 sire a new city jail. then it would be 1 better to build it before this signal system is installed" he said. He called attention to the fact that the l city plan as prepared by the au- thorized city planning firm in Chi 1 cago, will be presented to the com mission at its meeting next week. | and that th s plan includes provis- ions for new city jail.
 ''Wouldn't it be better to delay ap- | proval of this contract until the com mission has an opportunity to con- slider the advisability of trying to ac- quire a site and funds for the erec- ton of a new jail?' he asked. City Manager Thompson suggested that the new jai' might be made a part of the proposed civic center as is mapped in the city plan.
 Commissioner Adams said that ir order to determine just how real was the demand for a new jail he would like to have the heads of the variou: civic organizations informed that the commission was considering 8 bono issue for such a purpose and obtair from them a general expression O what they would consider the senti. ment of the people of Phoenix.
 "The city commission Is anxious to provide a new jail and only tht refusal of the public to vote bon, issues has prevented its reaIizatio before this" he said.
 It was pointed out at the meetin. that a considerable saving would b. effected if the new jail building wer erected immediately so that the S1O
 900 signal system could be instaIle, directly into it, rather than eouir the old police headquarters with tn
 system and then transfer it later.

 Gardner jumped at the unexpected explosion and told the photographer to advise him on all future flashes, as he was gun shy" A picture was then made of Marshal Dillon off cially turning his prisoner over to Sheriff Montgomery for safe keeping and Gardner was placed in the lower tank" of the county jail. The crowd remained until the jail door was closed and then dispersed.

Quixotic Train Robber Looks and
 Acts His Part, Interviewer Finds

Roy Gardner, sitting on the edge of the table In his cell in the county jail, swung his foot back and forth and laughed out from behind the bars. In the dim light he looked like a moving pie ture artist playing the part of much wronged hero, and playing it we'll His hair was brushed back at just the right angle from his well formed forehead and his eyes glinted with just the right amount of pathos at the proper moment. He also has the moving picture trick of running his fingers through his thick locks and making them ripple and curl.
 Sorry to have you meet me in such attire" he said easily as if it had been an introduction in some friend s home and he felt the need of apol- ogizing for his appearance. He's a cheerful creature.
 There are crinkles of laughter around his eyes and his large, hu- morous mouth is forever stretching into a laugh as he talks, for care sits very lightly on Roy Gardner shoulders.
 His face has been variously describ ed by word weary writers as hand some, manly. good, open, clean ant other adjectives equally as platter ] ing To the writer it was a fac

You did not. It was a solemn promise to go straight. Many be- lieved you meant it.
 He bit his lip uncomfortably. "I did when I made it. But you know there are always circumstances" Up went his hand to blow furrows through the thick hair-hair, by the way, which he claims to have made a distinct red by the use of perox- idle.

 But the writer will always feel,

 is hoarse, that it was nothing but craving for the spotlight which sent | Roy Gardner back into the business $ of robbing malls again. It is the t breath of life to him. Free, and safe in some quiet spot he is nobody, g ? man whom anyone would pass on the

Sure, PU Try To Escape From JaiE,"
 Roy Tells Sheriff

Yesterday morning when Gard ner was turned over to the sher- if by the police, Sheriff Montgo- merv told Gardner he wanted to lay his cards on the table and asked Gardner if he would do the same.
 "Yes, face up," the sheriff re- piled.
 Gardner said.
 Well, Roy" inquired the <sher- if, "do you intend to try to es- cape from this jail?"
 "Certainly, I do,' Gardner an swered. 'Wouldn't you if you had 5 years staring you in the face?'
 We shoot to kill here,' the sheriff informed him.
 That's all in the game" Gard ner replied.
 The sheriff is taking no chances, however, and has issued a rule permitting no visitors to the jail while Gardner is held there and has placed a guard in the corridor. The guard of the jail will be maintained by three men working eight hour shifts each, and the first one went to work at o'clock yesterday aft ernoon.
