PAROLED MEN HEREAFTER
TO HAVE ONE LIFT
SALEM. Ore., Sept. 8.—When Gov
ernor Wlthycombe today revoked the
paroles of George Clark and Earl
Riley he announced that hereafter
prisoners paroled from the Oregon
penitentiary shall have only ' one
chance. Heretofore many prisoners
have had two or morJ opportunities
to make good by parole.
Clarjp, about two years ago, made
a sensational escape from the peni
tentiary by sawing out of his cell, go
ing over the prison roof and drop
ping to the ground by means of a
blanket rope and then sealing the
wall. He attempted to blow a safe at
Bakersfield, Cal., was arrested and
returned to the Oregon prison and
later paroled. He and Riley are be
lieved to have been Implicated in an
attempt to crack a safe In a Port
land garage last Wednesday night.
When a bit was broken one of the
men was evidently wounded for he
was traced for a considerable distance
by blood from the wound. Clark was
found in his lodging place with a
badly wounded wrist, and on the
strength of this evidence the gov
ernor revoked his parole. Strong evi
dence also pointed to the guilt of
Riley.
