FRANK WALKER stands near the remains of an oven that was hand-shaped from wet clay. The oven provided warmth to horse thieves who made frequent stops at Robber’s Roost Cave located just south of Stockton. Walker had said that the cave was named so because horse thieves used it. The only visible remains of the hideout in 1994 were the piece of the clay oven. The large cave had been demolished years before because it was feared someone would be trapped inside the hole.
