Father William Lombardy, Fischer's official second and former world junior chess champion, met newsmen who tried to get into Fischer's hotel suite after the game and told them "the situation is ver: serious." Hijackers return and land in Philadelphia and demanded the ransom and parachutes. Capt. Elliott M. Adams, 55, escaped by diving through a cockpit window. He was hospitalized in fair condition from injuries suffered in the fall.

Adams jumped because the hijackers had ordered him to take off before the plane was refueled, a move officials said would have caused the aircraft to crash right after liftoff. The hijackers finally received their ransom, released the passengers, switched to another 727 jetliner and took off for Texas, still holding three stewardesses and two male crewmembers -the copilot and the engineer. Force Jet to Land The gunmen forced the jet to land on a small airstrip near Freeport, designed only for propeller airplanes. It blew four tires on landing and was stranded. The airport had no facilities for repairing or refueling jets.

During negotiations between the FBI and the hijackers, the copilot and engineer escaped the same way pilot Adams had. Engineer Gerald L. Beaver, 37, of Houston, was shot in the leg as he scrambled through the cockpit window, and then slightly inured in the fall. Copilot Norman W. Reagan, 34, of Miami, broke wrist, pelvis and rib when he hit the ground.

He lay motionless on the ground and had to be carried awav on a stretcher. The hijackers made one last bid for victory before surrendering to Agent White. They asked for a smaller airplane piloted by an FBI agent wearing only swimming trunks. The plane and an FBI agent were made ready but White successfully convinced the hilackers to surrender moments later at 3:30 p.m. CDT.
