as the two men jumped a cyclone fence and ran into a residential area with deputies in pursuit As an astonished resident looked on Morris leapt his fence ran through the back yard and leapt the fence again on the other side But the lumbering Pace had trouble climbing over Pace sought refuge in a garage but he could not hide because the car inside was a Datsun and he was too large to crawl under it
