...week's end she was still a fugitive, wanted by the FBI if unwanted as a teacher of philosophy by the University of California board of regents. The accusation of murder-supplying four guns involved in a fatal, futile breakout from a Marin County, Calif., courtroom three weeks ago*-dismayed her academic colleagues even while her revolutionary friends lionized her anew. Her situation is in stark contrast to her earlier promise...
...brutal, bizarre attempt to free a man on trial in a Marin County, Calif., courthouse two weeks ago seemed to have no ramifications beyond its bloody toll: the judge, the defendant and two of his would-be liberators dead in the gun battle that thwarted the escape (TIME, August 17). But a routine investigation by the police of the weapons used in the attempt turned up some startling news last week. Three of the guns-a .380-cal. Browning automatic pistol, and two .30-cal.

The Marin County authorities have sufficient cause for suspicion that there have been warrants issued for Miss Davis on charges of kidnaping and murder...

(Five others, all in their resilient youth, survived to tell about it.) The figure does not include another 129 recorded by the California Highway Patrol as "possibles" based on circumstantial evidence -a pile of clothing left by the rail, a farewell message left behind, an abandoned car. But even the official toll, says Dr. Richard H. Seiden, associate professor of behavioral sciences at Berkeley, qualifies the bridge as "the No. 1 location for death by suicide...
