SAN FRANCISCO AP After 17 years, the Birdman of Alcatraz has left the rock. Robert F. Stroud, 69, was transferred from the maximum security federal prison in San Francisco Bay to the federal medical center at Springfield, Missouri. He had once run a bird laboratory at Leavenworth and authored Stroud's Digest of Disease of Birds. He was sentenced for killing a Juneau bartender in 1909 and later killed a guard at Leavenworth in 1916. Stroud’s transfer was announced in a letter to attorney Stanley A. Furman, who has been pursuing his release.
