By noon, some two hours aft er the daring break, authorities; had rounded up seven including Guadalupe Garcia, sentenced in June to 25 years in prison for the rape of a Lubbock High School girl. Still at large were three burglary suspects and Susano Car denas. charged with murder and retaliation, and under a combined bond of S55.000. Cooperate Law agencies participating in the round-up operations included Lubbock police, agents from the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and U.S. Border Pa trol, deputies and District investigators.

Sheriff C. H. Blanchard theorized that four pris -1 oners jumped jailer G.T. rington when he entered the fourtlvfloor cell block to deliver commissary cards to the inmates. Arrington was struck on the head with a five-pound, one-foot long iron bar the men had sawed from the top of the cell.

The prisoners bound the jailer with strips of sheets and took his watch and keys. Method Not Known -----It was not immetiately known how the inmates sawed the bar, wrapped in tape at one end. first, I thought two or three of them had gotten loose and I would battle it out with Arrington told Blanchard. then, they just swarmed me." The sheriff said he believed four prisoners actually jumped the guard and the remaining seven were released by their fellow inmates when keys were confiscated. According to sketchy initial reports, the escaping men used the keys to gain entry to the elevator which carried them to the ground floor.

Before leaving the fourth-floor area, however, the men apparently tore the bottoms from several paper coffee cups and made large by stacking them. The cones were filled with hot water which they supposedly would use to splash on anyone they encountered when they reached the ground. Alarm Sounded When they reached the ground, however, the only person they met was a trusty, who shouted bringing the only two deputies in the jail at the time, Cleo Rogers and Jeff Creager. The 11 inmates raced out a back door, about 15 feet from the elevator. I had feen five seconds sooner I might not have got all of them, but I would have got me said Rogers.

Creager did get one. The deputy caught a ride on the back of a passing truck and moments later ran down on foot one of the fleeing prisoners Within 30 minutes, five of the escapees had been recaptured. Two more were apprehended by 11 a.m. Dist. Atty.
