Mail Thief Makes Good Escape From Prison Isle
Roy Hardner a train bandit who escaped from McNeil Island federal prison near Tacoma has reached the mainland one mile away. Gardner’s fourth break for liberty occurred during a baseball game as guards fired after fugitives. Guards set fire to woods to flush him out but he vanished into the surrounding timber with cattle used as a barrier, while other inmates were wounded or killed during the breakout. Gardner, 34, has a history of escapes from San Diego jail and parole breaches tied to prior robberies and a $175,000 securities theft on the Southern Pacific.
