Bail clings to the far West as two more Manson family members are jailed after a dramatic escape from the Hall of Justice. Kenneth Conin, 18th floor cell, and Como, 5 floors down, fled via a rope made of mattress strips before a white van getaway collapsed. Also jailed are Lynette Fromme and Nancy Pitman, with other members rounded up as the dragnet closed in.
