A week ago, two federal prisoners being
held in the Lubbock County jail--one of them a
Dallas man--freed themselves by mysteriously
producing knives and holding them at the throats
of their guards.
At Tulsa, Oklahoma, today, lawmen re-
captured 29-year-old Donald Ray Buchanan and
a companion from Arkansas soon after bandits
robbed a jewelry store of at least X50,OOO in
merchandise. Nine persons were locked in a vault.
Officers said a large amount of jewelry
and cash were found in the fugitives' car after
it was stopped and one shot was fired.--30--
