made available the file, number 6737 concerning HAROLD RAY
HARDESTY, FBI Number 109 477. Also made available was a
photograph of HARDESTY taken on July 2, 1954, which is the
most xecent photograph available in this file.

According to the file, HARDESTY-committed 19 armed
robberies during the year of 1941; was the ring leader of
three robbers; used a pistol in the execution of these
robberies and offered as an explanation after being caught
that he was obtaining money for which to buy an airplane.
He was sentenced out of King County for a 9-year minimum
sentence on January 30, 1942. On July 4, 1944, HARDESTY
escaped from the Walla Walla Penitentiary by fire bombing a
guard tower and using grappling hooks and lines to scale the
walls. Subsequently he was apprehended by Federal authorities
in the Detroit, Michigan area and was convicted for interstate
transportation of stolen property. For this he was committed
to the U.S. Penitentiary at Leavenworth. At the expiration
of this term he was returned to the Walla Walla Penitentiary
on March 3, 1950. He was then tried and found guilty of escape
and sentenced to 10 years. He was paroled on September 28,
1954 to the custody of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. HARDESTY,
14301 East Burnside, Portland, Oregon. He was handled by the
Portland Office of the Probation and Parole Division in the

With the exception of cATALANO,[ ____]stated b6

would be an exceptionally good likeness. He further noted "
strong similarities in the high cheekbones, the long nose,

He was unable to determine from the photograph

jacker had a swarthy or Latin type complexion and it appeared
to him CATALANO might have such a complexion. He would
