Body of Prisoner Found in Marsh
The body of Herbert Repsold, the so called perfumed burglar who escaped San Quentin January 10, was found in a marsh two miles from the prison. Authorities believe he died by his own hand after likely learning he would lose credits on parole. Repsold, son of a Sacramento wine merchant, had baffled California cities as a society burglar. He escaped by plunging the penitentiary into darkness while armed with the electric switch. Warden Hoyle explained the motive and the parole timing, noting the escape occurred on the eve of a probable release.
