4 Ingenious Inmates
Flee Frederick Jail
Special Ditpatch to Tht Star
FREDERICK, Md., Feb. 8 —
Four youthful prisoners with ap
parently no fear of high places,
scrambled out of the Frederick
County jail and were still at large
today.
Acting Sheriff R. P. Buhrman
traced their Ingenious escape
Wednesday night like this:
They removed a lighting fixture
from the ceiling and climbed into
the attic through the foot-square
hole. Then they made a rope of
bed clothing and lowered them
selves 3S feet to the ground.
Still a question is how they went
over the 20-foot wall surrounding
the jail. However. Mr. Buhrman
is convinced they had no outside
•help. i
The prisoners were identified as:
Lawrence Riggles, jr., 23, of
Frederick, awaiting trial on break
ing. entering and larceny charges;
William Russell Tregonlng, 20, of
Woodsboro, Md., awaiting trial for
housebreaking; Richard Mazell
Himes, 20, of Frederick, awaiting
trial on a similar charge, and John
Wright Byrum, 20, of Raleigh,
N. C., an AWOL Navy man await
ing sentence for grand larceny.
Congress Asked jo Watch
TV for Immoral Programs
Congress ought to take a closer
look at television programs, as
well as at pocket-size books, to
determine whether they contain
Immoral or offensive matter, ac
cording to a resolution sponsored
by Representative Gathings. Dem
ocrat. bf Arkansas.
The Gathings measure intro
duced yesterday would set up a
special House committee of 15
members to study the problem.
The committee would determine
whether existing laws and regu
latory powers are strong enough
to prevent the spread, not only of
Immoral or offensive matter, but
also material which “places im
proper emphasis on crime, vio
lence or corruption.”
