Lawrence County deputy Rick
Redfield said one of the inmates
was apparently injured in the gun
fire, which erupted outside Au
rora shortly before midnight Tues
day. No officers were injured.
The inmates, who were armed
with a handgun, shotgun and poss
ibly two other weapons, held an
elderly Aurora area couple hos
tage for three hours before the
shootout, police said.
They released the woman,
Grace Furlow, unharmed on a
county road after the shootout,
headed east and wrecked their
car. Furlow’s husband, Eugene,
was left tied up in the couple’s
house. Officers said neither was
injured.
Some 60 police officers, sheriff s
deputies and Highway Patrol
troopers, aided by bloodhounds,
concentrated their search early
Wednesday in a rural residential
area of southeast Lawrence Coun
ty at the edge of Marionville, Red-
field said. A helicopter and a plane
equipped with floodlights were
also used in the search.
Earlier Tuesday, lawmen cap
tured escaped murderer James
Murray after residents in Aurora,
a town of 5,300 about 30 miles
southwest of Springfield, phoned
in to report a “suspicious charac
ter” walking through their neigh
borhood.
Murray, 24, was one of seven
inmates who escaped from the
Kansas State Penitentiary at Lans
ing Sunday by convincing a tower
guard to let one of them, dressed
in a stolen guard uniform, into the
tower.
At large Wednesday were
Everett Cameron, 32, serving
time for rape, aggravated sodomy
and kidnapping; Robert Bentley,
28, convicted of second-degree
murder, rape and prison escape,
and John Kitchell, 28, convicted of
second-degree murder and
assault.
Twenty-five roadblocks were
set up in southeast Lawrence
County Tuesday after Aurora
police discovered a car stolen
Monday from David Hancock, 23,
who told police he gave four of the
fugitives a ride after spotting them
on a Springfield street.
“They told me they were having
carburetor trouble and they were
hungry,” Hancock said. “The next
I knew they had a gun to my head.
They said ‘slide in the back seat
and no funny stuff.’”
Hancock said the criminals got
food, drove around and then went
to Hancock’s parents’ home,
where they tied him to his bed
before leaving with his car and
shotgun.
Six hours after the inmates ii
his house, Hancock worked hit
self free and called police to si

He said one “cocky” convict
threatened to kill him, but his
companions stopped him.
After finding the car, office

Aurora and found twobedrollsar
two 12-gauge shotguns near;
abandoned railroad boxcar.

BATON ROUGE, La. — The
star witness in the federal govern
ment’s investigation of two five-
year-old murder cases will plead
guilty to armed robbery charges in
Texas, federal prosecutors say.

to Dallas Wednesday to plead
guilty to armed robbery.
Simoneaux already has pleaded
guilty to violating the civil rights of
Griffith and has agreed to cooper
ate in the murder investigation.
Five other men have been in
dicted since a federal grand jury
began reviewing the case early
this year.
U.S. Attorney Don Beckner

agreement with officials in Dallas
called for him to receive a 20-year
sentence to be served concurrent
ly with the 20-year federal sec;
ence he was promised for coopei
ating in the Griffith-Leslie case
Beckner said Simoneaux als

cases.
Leslie was shot to death in
Baton Rouge hotel parking loti
July 1976, and Griffith was gn:
ned down three months later i
Concordia Parish.
Authorities have linked tl
deaths to an international ring;
heavy equipment thieves.
