by a hitch-hiking gunman at San Ardo, 40 miles south of Salinas, Thomas Boone, 60, Palo Alto insurance agent, was robbed of $10 today and forced to drive at breakneck speed to San Jose, where his captor escaped. At the beginning of the wild ride the gunman forced Edward Hardy, also of Palo Alto, riding with Boone on a trip from San Bernardino, to leap from the automobile. Hardy somersaulted into a ditch beside the road, nearly senseless from a blow on the head received as he 'struck the pavement. Boone's captor released him, with a flourishing threat of his gun, in front of a stage depot in Palo Alto, and the victim drove on to his home here at 430 Forest Avenue, where he notified police. ARMED GUARDS ARE PLACED ON ROADS In the interval following the kidnaping and Boone's arrival at his home, armed guards had been placed on all Monterey County highways by the sheriff's office at Salinas.

Boone told he branded his captor a "coward" and offered to "fight it out with bare fists," despite the fact that the hitchhiker was only about 25.

FLAGGED CAR AND ASKED FOR RIDE The hitch -hiker flagged down Boone's car near San Ardo.

"Thanks for the lift," he said as he climbed into the rear seat. A moment later he whipped out a revolver, pressed it to Hardy's back, and told him to "jump for your life." Although the car was traveling rapidly, Hardy obeyed, tumbling out of the front seat of the machine and somersaulting into a ditch, almost unconscious from his violent contact with the pavement. machine, containing Boone and the gunman, increased its speed and disappeared in the distance as Hardy struggled to his feet and started off for San Ardo.
