4.—(INS.)—After making a spec-
tacular escape from a moving pas-
senger train, James O’Connell, Los
Angeles bandit -kidnaper, and es-
caped convict from San Quentin
prison, was captured in Santa Bar-
bara early today.
He was found by three police of-
ficers crouching in a tree, not far
from where he made his daring lenp
from the train, and was taken • a
hospital, where he was placed under
heavy guard.
O’Connell, 33, who was serving a
term tantamount to life imprison-
ment when he escaped last June 30
from a Trinity county road camp,
