Sheriff Max Barczak said one of the quintet, Vernon Phillips, 16, had asked to receive communion from the Very Rev. Edmund Kramer in a consultation room a few feet off the cell block corridor. Barczak said jailer Paul Kozlow- ski unlocked the door of the eell area for Phillips but was rushed by the group and felled by a blow from a man's sock which had been filled with soap bars.

Kozlowski's keys were taken and he was locked inside the area. The jailer yelled for the priest to use the infra-jail telephone to warn of the break. A jailer in the office pressed an alarm button. About 40 armed guards and police closed in on the trapped prisoners, who surrendered meekly. 100 27 96 104 29 100 The Weslern noles of Dec.
