S. Swenson, According to the postmark, the letter was mailed in Seattle at 6:30 p. m, Sept. 7. This was Wednesday evening, two days after Gardner made his dash for liberty from McNeil island prison, Written on plain white paper with a soft lead pencil, the letter reads: I.am in Seattle—will be in Yakima tomorrow, and then Kast. Come and get me, you cheap dicks, but bring your guns, for you will need them. J paid for my getaway—charge it to Ma Joney.
