| Drug Guru Scales Prison Wall | |
|
SAN LUIS OBISO, Calif. (AP) -- Timothy Leary, the former Harvard psychology instructor who became a guru to the nation's drug culture, has escaped from prison. The only clue authorities had today was Leary's blue denim inmate clothes, found in a service station rest-room a fre miles away. Leary had been at the California Men's Colony 200 miles north of Los Angeles since shortly after being sentenced March 16 to a six-month to 10-year prison term on a marijuana possession conviction. He was last seen by prison authorities two hours before a midnight bed check Saturday. Authorities said Leary either had a car waiting for him or hitchhiked away after climbing a 10-foot chain-link fence that separates the prison from the outside world. Officials have said they sent Leary to the minimum-security rural men's colony because he seemed unlikely to be violent or try to escape. Though described as a model prisoner, Leary, 49, was refused parole last month. His imprisonment was a result of one of many encounters he has had with the law since becoming nationally known as an advocate of marijuana and psychedelic drugs. After being sentenced six months ago, Leary said he had no ill will toward officers enforcing antidrug laws. "Two hundred years ago I would have been burned at the stake," he said. Leary's wife Rosemary, 35, and his 20-year-old son by an earlier marriage, John, were convited with him. They received six month sentences but have been released. The penalty for escaping from a California prison is six months to five years. |
