Out of Prison Three

STOCKTON, Calf, Feb. 8.-A
one-time bank robber-three months
out of prison after serving a IA
year stretch-was said by the F B l.
today to have confessed an attempt
to eXtort $4,000 from the family
of kidnapped Marc De Tristan, jr
He is Raymond Parker. So, alias
Frank Clark and Joe Richardson,
arrested last Monday when State
patrolmen halted taxi from Oak
land and were told by the driver
that Parker was kidnapping him at
the point of gun.
Parker was arraigned on the kid
naping charge today and held in
lieu of $4,000 bond. He served two
years - 1923-25 in San Quentin
prison for forgery and was released
only last November after serving IA
years in Folsom Prison for a $4,000
California bank robbery
His confession in the De Tristan
case was announced by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation Agents re-
called that the would-be eXtortionist
slipped through an F. B. I. trap in
a cabbage patch near Santa Rosa,
Calf, last December.
Will Face Extortion Charge.
The F. B. / Office in San Fran
cisco, naming Parker as the man,
said a complaint charging attempted
extortion would be filed in Sacra-
mento, but that further action prob
ably would await outcome of the
local case.
The Countsnd Countess de iris
tan, residents Of exclusive Hills
borough on the San Francisco PENN
sula, received the first of three
eXtrotion notes within nine days
after Parker was released from Fol-
som November 9-less than two
months after the 3-year-old De
Tristan boy vas snatched from the
arms of his nurse by another man,
and returned safely two days later.
The second and third notes fol-
lowed within a month. and on the
night of December 18, F. B. I. agents
posing as representatives of the
family-Waited at the specified place
near Santa Rosa for an expected
contact-and capture.
Admits Writing Notes.
The extortionist, however, grabbed
a cigar box from one of the agents
and fled in the darkness. The cigar
box contained only scraps of paper.

Wide Range of Opinions.
The opinions he delivered over
the more than a quarter century
which he spent on the Supreme
Court, covered a wide range of in
tricate legal questions. Generally he
prepared them at his Connecticut
avenue apartment, working in his
study after doffing coat, vest, collar
and tie while he puffed at a pipe.
His opinions were clear, strong in
logic and founded upon wide re-
search.
Among his earlier findings were
decisions upholding the Federal
Safety Appliance Act for interstate
railroads and indorsing the power
OF Congress to fix the liability of
common carriers for injuries to en-
ployes engaged in interstate COM
merce.
In 1929, when he attained the age
of 10, he considered retiring. but
was persuaded to continue on the
bench by Chief Justice Taft, who,
as President. had appointed him to
the place. After Taft resigned. he
again toyed with the idea of quit
ting. 1t was related that Justice
Brandeis, whose views generally
differed from Justice Van Devan-
ter's, Led the arguments that kept
him at work until 1887.
Consistent Foe of New Deal.
Up to his final term. which be-
gan in october, 1886, Justice Van
Devanter voted against the admin
istratlon in u of the l3 major
cases which came before the court.
His lone exception was the T. v. A.
case, which, with the gold clause
finding, constituted the only early
victories for the administration.
Mental and physical vigor were
outstanding characteristics of Mr..
Van Devanter and here, too, his
earlier life in Wyoming was a factor.
When he went to the Territory in
1884 it still was in the wild and
woolly" stage.
Mr.. van DeVanter, as practicing
attorney, literally rode the circuit -
going from one court town to an
other on horseback, sleeping where
ever night overlook him. touching
elbows with the settlers and ranch
ers and helping them solve their
problems.
The final shunting out of politics
came with his appointment to the
circuit bench. That service re-
turned him to the Western country
for the eighth circuit to which he
was assigned.
In 1886, banging away at the
canvaSbacks on the Potomac. he
was interrupted by a game warden
demanding sight of a 81 hunting
stamp on his hunting license. The
chagrined justice pleaded he never
had heard of the requirement, for
getting for the moment the legal
adage that Ignorance of the law
is no excuse" His companion, the
Rev. Zeharney T. Phillips, chaplain
of the Senate, revealed the identity
of the stampleSs hunter and the
warden rode away chuckling, salts
fed with Justice Van Devanter' s
promise to get stamp
