Arizona republican., 1921-11-17

when I had swu1n about half mile I knew I was outside of their pa trol line ard safe. Soon, however, found that the log was an incum- brance rather than a help and l dis carded 1t After swimming a short distance again, I found myself tired and I lay on my back and rested for quite a little while. This rest refreshed me and I had no difficulty in swimming the remainder of the way to Fox island, especially since I could take things easy and swim and float by turns.
 Reaches Centralia
 T stayed on Fox island the rest of the night and the next day. In the evening I stole a rowboat and rowed to Puyallup, arriving there at midnight. I waited in Puyauup an hour and then caught a train to Centralis where I had been captured three months before. In Centralia got a coat and hat and then walked to Chehalis four miles distant, where I caught a tra n to Raymond, Wash.
 T had friends in Raymond who provided me with money and clothes but after staying there five days l
 took possession of a Columbia Six automobile I found on the street and drove it to Vancouver where l aban- doneo the machine in an auto camp ing grounds I then crossed the Willamette bridge on foot and final 1y reached Portland, where I took an interurban car to Oregon City.
 'In Oregon City I grabbed Har- Davidson motorcycle and rode to Salem. then to Eugene, then to Grants Pass, and then to Medford, where I stayed a week. From Med- ford I went to Bedding. Calif., where I remained one day, and then I went to Marysville and thence to Sacra- mento. I was too well known for comfort, however. in Sacramento. and I left immediately for Gordon Valley, where had escaped few months be- fore from Sheriff Harris of Napa county.
 From Gordon Valley went to Sac ramento again and then to Stockton, Fresno, Bakersfield, Los Angeles and San Juan Capistrano. While riding about 10 miles south of Capistrano the motorcycle ''froze" and I aban doned it at the side of the road. walked three miles to a railroad sta tion and caught train to San Diego.
 Arrives In Phoenix
 'T was in San Diego only one day, and then I went to Mexicali, Mexico, where I remained three days and then came to Phoenix by way of Yuma. I have been here 23 days
 Gardner said that he had promised himself when he entered the mail car at the Santa Fe depot that he would not shoot the clerk. He has made himself familiar with the police of ficers of the city, he said, and has walked freely in all parts of the city, commenting in particular upon having seen the accident at the state fair grounds Saturday which resulted in the death of Omar Toft.
 He has never been mo1ested since leaving McNeiI Island, he said and has had only a few scares. One came at Chehalis,, Wash. after he had ac- companied a stranger into the town after having pulled the latter's auto mobile out of the mud along the road. They went into the Gem res- taurant, he said, and during the meal the proprietor sat with him. The name of Roy Gardner came up, and the restaurant man said that he had seen Gardner three months before.
 s'He described me about 55,' Gard ner said, "but soon saw that he did not recognize me. He told me lot of things about Roy Gardner that Roy Gardner didn't know, but I felt it a
