VESTA ATLANTA. 0a., Dee. t—Louis S.
Sonncy, western deputy sheriff
whose florid face is forever halt-
hidden under the shade of a men-
strous ten-gallon sombrero. won a
$6,000 reward four years ago for
capturing Roy Gardner. lnall rob-
ber and one of the most daring
criminals ever received at the federal
penitentiary.
New Sonney is spending a. good
share of the reward and all of his
time in an effort to see that Gard-
ner gets his liberty again.
It is Sonney's t‘illn belief that a
surgical operation tllat would rc-
move a. bit of bone which is pressing
down on Gardner's brain would
transform him from a crook to an
honest, law-abiding citisen. And he
insists he's going to stay on the job
until this operation is performed
and Gardner is freed. ,
To. begin with. Sonney gave 32.500
of the 35,000 reward to Gardner's
wife and baby. who were in poverty
after Gardner's arrest. And now
he has expended most of the re-
mainder in his efforts to give Gard-
ncr the freedom that he, Sonney.
look away from him.
A careful examination of Gard-
ner's record. Sonncy explains, con-
vinced him that no one but a man
mentally unbalanced would have
done the things Gardner did.
' Not. So Enthusiastic.
Gardner is anxious to have the
operation performed. though he
knows it is so delicate a procedure
that it nlkht kill him. Prison oili-
cials aren‘t so enthusiastic. however.
Gardner's sentence has 75 years to
run. and they aim to see hinl serve
it.
"Gardner comes of a good family
and had a college education.” says
Sonney. "But ill 1908 he was ill a
mine cave-in in Arizona. The back
'of his head was crushed and he
nearly died. After he recovered he
fell. BURNERS

suffered from intense headaches,
sometimes had fits and often imag-
tinod that he heard voices. lie dc-
veloped an exaggerated idea of him-
self and a love for notoriety. Doc-
tors later showed by X-ray photo-
graphs that this injury left a bone
. pressing on his brain over an area
' bigger than a 25-cent piece."
Soon thereafter. Gardner turned
criminal. A love for excitement
seemed his sole incentive. Ho
smuggled arms over the Mexican
border during the various revolu-
tions there, then went to San Fran-
cisco. Walking past a jewelry store
he saw a diamond bracelet tn the
window. He walked in. snatched it
and ran two blocks. Then he walt-
ed for his pursuers and calmly hand-
ed it to them. He was sentenced
to five years in prison.
When he was released he married
and settled down. But his love for
‘exciicmeut persisted. and alter en—
gaging in several more smuggling
expeditions he returned to San Fran-
cisco and held up a mail track with
$131, 000 worth of registered- mail.
This was in 1930. ~ *
Instead of using this money. how~
ev er, he hid the sacks in the bushes
near Del Mar, Calm. and waited
around the town until he was ar-
rested. He was sentenced to 25
years in prison.
0n the way to the prison he es~
caped from his guards and went to
Minneapolis. Returning to Califor-
nia. he eluded a posse that sur-
rounded hirn and held up a mail car
on the Pacific Limited. Again he
made no attempt to use the money.

a 25- -1.oal sentence. And again he
escaped while on his way to pri-
son.
It was shortly after this that Sen-
ney captured Gardner in Ccnlraiia.
Wash. collecting the $5,000 reward
for doing so. Gardner submitted
peacefully and went to McNell‘s is-
land prison. Washington, docilely.
Tat-apes Once More
In a short time. however. came
word that he had escaped again.
Another sortie into Mexico and he
returned to the states. In Phoenix.
Aria, he tried to hold up the first
mail car he saw. lie “’ils captured
and got his third 25-year sentence.
This time he was sent to the At-
lanta penitentiary.
It was the Robert Scott case.
where skilled lawyers were, able to
save the Chicago slayer from hung-
iug. that induced Sollncy to try to
restore Gardner's sanity and free-
doul. the big deputy sheriff says.
"I became convinced that Gard-
ner hnnlll‘t received a sqlllll'it deal.
and that the law was l'llilklnl: him
pay for things a lunatic had done.”
he says.
"And. along with my (ll-sir», to see
fair play, i lune another lnotiw. It's
curiosity. I want to see it this
operation would cure his criminal
instincts, as I believe it would. If
so. it might revolutionize a lot of
our theories about criminals."
Sonney is still conferring with
federal officials here. They have
not yet reached a decision.
We heard a man say to a me-
chanic who had been working on
his car: "Whose car was this?"
