Deer Lodge

He claimed thousands of burglaries in those years.

He also got caught more than once, a road gang in Texas, a jail in Idaho, and the state prison at Deer Lodge, Montana, where he ran into his old partner, Jimmy Benson, now serving 10 years for robbery.

Every time Carl got out, he went right back to it.

It was the only way he knew how to live.

In the spring of 1915, two weeks out of Deer Lodge, Carl was arrested in Astoria, Oregon for burglarizing the home of a local bank president.

He gave his name as Jeff Baldwin.

The district attorney offered him a deal.

We at this point have five former Republican legislators endorsing this campaign, a former Republican governor.

I just wrapped up a town hall in Deer Lodge with Greg Frazier, one of those Republican legislators, where we talked about just that.

But.

The fact that Greg, who is, well, a union leader himself and an employee of the state prison who's a mental health tech, Greg knows it's worth investing to get mental health services to people before they end up at the prison.

yeah i am incredibly grateful for the congresswoman's support she's part of the senator as well as i am for those now seven republican elected officials here in montana they're formerly elected officials and what i tell people is you know me and most of most americans have far more in common with someone like the congresswoman or somebody like those six former Republican legislators in the state than we do with the vast majority of the people who are actually in the United States Senate and Congress.

Far more in common with somebody who's worked as a bartender or somebody like Greg Frazier, the Republican in Deer Lodge who worked at the state prison and struggled to get by on those wages than we do with someone like Senator Tim Cheney in the state who's worth $200 million.

$200 million that he's only made out from federal contracts as the owner of a federal wildland fire aviation contracting company.

And that economic experience is what we are desperately lacking in Congress.

As Father John just said, I'm a priest for the Diocese of Helena, Montana, just ordained about 15 months ago.

I'm in just a little town, 3,000, called Deer Lodge.

I got a little mission church, got the state prison right side of town, which is one of my favorite parts of the ministry, going out to say mass for the inmates and doing one-on-one meetings with them, just hearing their stories.

Yeah, life on Montana is good.

We, um, yeah.

So it's, it's really great to have guys, uh, that, uh, were students of mine, um, that are now ordained and, uh, seeing them doing the thing, like really just being parish priests.

If I pray for father Dylan and his people up in, uh, Deer Lodge, Montana and Anaconda, Montana.

So home of TJ Greeny.

Right.

He said he escaped from a prison in Deer Lodge, Montana, where he had killed a prison guard.

He said that he had no money and was driving a stolen car.

Brian gave the attacker his money and keys to his Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.

As he said, the FBI did not investigate the Zodiac crimes at the time, but did so later.

Uh, Douglas, however, suggests that maybe the killer at this attack provided us a clue to his identity.

Specifically, the I escaped from a prison in Deer Lodge, Montana.

And Douglas, who even lived in Montana at some point in his life, says that Deer Lodge, Montana is not just the kind of place that you just pick at random or pull it out of thin air.
