LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23 – Two members of Charles Manson’s “family” were arraigned Friday in connection with a bold escape early Wednesday from the County Jail atop the Hall of Justice.

Municipal Judge Nancy B. Watson set Nov. 8 as the preliminary hearing date for Kenneth (Curly) Como, 31, and Sandra (Sandy) Good Pugh, 27.

Como is charged with escape, and Miss Pugh is charged with helping him.

Como sawed his way out of his 13th-floor cell in the predawn hours and climbed part way down the side of the 15 story building on torn mattress covers and blankets fashioned into a rope.

The court fixed bail at $5,000 for Miss Pugh, who allegedly helped Como flee the downtown area in a Manson family van, but ordered Como held without bail because he is a state prisoner under a 30-year-to-life sentence for armed robbery.

Como, whose escape Wednesday was his third and the second since his return here several weeks ago to testify in a murder trial, was heavily guarded and manacled when he appeared in court.

At one point he had to be admonished to remain silent and stop interrupting the proceedings.

Judge Watson appointed attorneys Richard A. Walton to represent Como and Paul Fitzgerald to defend Miss Pugh.

Fitzgerald, in arguing for a bail reduction for his client, claimed there was no affirmative evidence to link her with the escape and charged that her arrest stemmed from entrapment by sheriff’s deputies.

He alleged that the van she was driving was under surveillance at the time of the escape and that officers saw Como enter it and followed the vehicle.

Como was captured seven hours later in the West Hollywood area where he was found by officers hiding in a tool shed.

Five other members of Manson’s group — four women and a man — arrested after the escape, were released late Thursday for lack of evidence.

Meanwhile, a jury failed to reach a verdict Friday in the trial of Manson on charges of killing musician Gary Hinman and ranch hand Donald (Shorty) Shea. The case was submitted to the panel Thursday. Deliberations will resume today.
