Police of all nearby states were \alerted in the manhunt for the eight convicts, who apparently executed j@ carefully planned escape for their | successful flight. ; In the brief fracas before they went over the wall two prison guards were wounded slightly. Six of the escapees got away in an automobile they stole from a steel company employee standing guard near a coal pile. The other two just ran away. The prison guards irjured were John Peterman, 38, nicked in the back with a knife, and William Engle, cut on the hand as he tried to seize a knife from the hand of Virgil Toney, 42-year-old robber from Ingram, Pa.

(® — A State Crime Bureau agent and Baptist minister agreed today they do not believe the group which broke into five churches last week end, muti- lating the interiors of some and burning others, was just a bunch of prankish youngsters. Instead, they hinted it might be the work of a subversive group or possibly a deranged mind. On the wall of one of the churches the penciled words “Go to hell” were scribbled grotesquely. Ministers and aroused towns- people in this city of 3,643, aided by state authorities, mapped plans to | nab the vandals in the event of another raid. Guards were placed | in churches in this and neighboring cities, “We've got to catch them,” said | Crime Bureau Agent Sid Wilson. | “We want to save other churches | in this area from the same treat- | ment.” American flags, Bibles, an¢ reli- gious furniture appeared to be the prime targets of the vandals. The Rev. J. M. Gaskin of the Baptist Church theorized: “The only motive, we believe, is a subversive action aimed prima- rily at the flag of the United States, the Bible and the church.” Father J. Robert Henshaw of the Catholic Church, the most badly damaged of the five, revealed there was a fire two weeks ago under similar conditions, He said damage to his church from both fires would reach the $5,000 mark. Previous estimates put damage to all buildings at nearly $3,000. The Catholie and Methodist Churches were set ablaze Satur- day, and while they burned, the | mutilated. Friday, the Christian and Presbyterian Churches re- ceived the same treatment, but no fires were set except to American flags on their staffs.
