man, Gardner said he learned OF
the plot while confined in Alcatraz
prison.
The plotters were Albert Bates,
Denver desperate serving life SEN
tence for the kidnapping of Charles
F.. Urschel of Oklahoma City, and
Tom Underwood, North Dakota rob-
Der.
The two men, Gardner said, ap-
preached Al Capone, former Chica-
go underworld leader, in Alcatraz
and asked him to advance them
$4,000 with which to engage out
side help in the kidnapping of Ickes.
1T was their idea," said Gardner,
who served II years in prison, Ito
have an outside agent kidnap Ickes
and hold him until President Roose-
velt signed release for them. Ca
pone's refusal to have anything to
do with the scheme was the first in
cident in Alcatraz that made him
unpopular.
But AL thought Bates and I'm
derWood were crazy. He wouldn't
listen to them. Then the boys fig
ured Capone couldn't take it any
more"

Damage Suit Nav Lay Bare Mystery
Angles Of Los Angeles Bommbin9
Criminal Action
In kynette Case
Dropped by Jury

LOS ANGELES, June 20. CUP)--
The Harry Raymond bombing case,
which brought about the conviction
of two policemen in one of the
city's most sensational criminal
trials, gave promise today of sliding
down the scale to become a book
keeping civil action.
In that action, however, Raymond
who was almost killed by the blast
of bomb last Jan. IA, promised
to bring out all the undercover
political angles of the case which
were not developed at the trial of
Earle Kynette and Roy Allen, con-
victed policemen.
The situation today, indicating
willingness in some quarters to drop
the criminal angles of the investi-
cation, was:
1. The grand jury declared
truce" in its investigation of city
administration and police.
2. Raymond announced he would
file a suit for $1000,000 damages
against public officials and police
men, in the hope of getting his
heavy hospital bill and other ex-
penses paid.
3. Kynette announced he would
write a book and tell all"
4. Attorneys George Rochester
and Richard Cantillon prepared to
file formal notice of appeal from
the conviction and sentencing of
Kynette and Allen before Judge
Thomas Ambrose.
5. The police trial board was
scheduled to meet today to decide
whether to file formal charges
against members of the now abol-
ished police spy squad" for their
refusal to testify before the grand
jury in connection with the Ray
mond bombing. Kynette was head
of the spy squad.
