In 10 Cemeteries SAN QUENTIN (AP) Five convicts broke out of San Quentin prison early today with a ladder and rope in a daring escape believed to be the first of its kind in at least 19 years. The fugitives used ladders to scale the 40 foot wall around the prison's cotton textile mill and they descended the outer wall on ropes, Associate Warden Dale Frady said. None of the escaped men was considered dangerous. They were believed to be unarmed. Frady said all were minimum custody men.

Highway road blocks, including one at the Bay Bridge toll plaza, were set up quickly on the chance of intercepting them if they stole a car, but Frady said it probably was more likely they would keep to the countryside and brush areas.
