suburb Mundy said At the crash site Peter Boag heading the investigation for the Canadian Aviation Safety Board said the four engines the co*ckpit instruments and other essential pieces I of the plane are to be shipped to Ottawa to be examined for clues to the crash He said the safety laboratory in Ottawa expected to have information available soon from the flight data recorder including the speed altitude and direction throughout the takeoff This article was supplemented with reports from the Associated Press Trap rom page 1A local police to make a dent in the estimated 250000 fugitives from justice at large in America lagship International was a creation of the marshals for a roundup aimed at fugitives whose last known address was in the District of Columbia So convincing was the scam that a lawyer for a genuine cable television outfit suddenly appeared at the command post in the midst of tense operation to complain that lagship lacked the proper license to operate here lagship arrests doubt will have an impact on our daily crime said Maurice Turner Jr police chief adding that many of the fugitives were repeat violators who could be expected to continue to commit crimes while at large operation picked up another of the District of 10 most wanted fugitives cost about a sixth of what is usually spent on apprehending fugitives and came off without a single violent incident The device was primarily a guarantee against violence By inviting the fugitives into the room in groups of 10 to 20 and closing the doors before the trap was sprung the marshals effectively ensured that the numbers as well as the firepower stayed on their side so the suspects had no alternative to surrender The marshals are increasingly relying on ruses to get their men and women In October a deputy marshal arrested a most wanted fugitive here by posing as a cab driver and claiming that a man resembling the fugitive had left a large amount of cash behind in his cab The man wanted for escape narcotics and bank robbery charges immediately made himself available and was taken without incident The something for syndrome runs through many of the schemes In a multistate roundup for example the marshals used the Bridge Delivery to capture fugitives who appeared to claim packages that had been sent to them And last June the marshals set up Puno Aero Tours and offered to fugitives at their last known address free vacation trips to the Bahamas a false lure that landed several wanted persons exercise cost $22500 or less than $225 a fugitive because the final number arrested is
