The costs to local governments here for efforts to apprehend escapees from the Washington Corrections Center and trying them on escape chaige~ after they have been taunt have amounted to several thousand dollars over the past several months, county officials said this week. The county last week concluded jury trials for three escapees who had been charged with escape in Superior Court here.

Probably the most expensive case when all costs are in will be that of the first escapee, Aden CuzJck,, Cuzick has not yet been tried on the escape charges. The sherifrs office said costs of the search effort for Cuzick and for providing guards for him while he was hospitalized twice had totaled $1,310. Cuzick was hospitalized after being caught because he had been shot during the escape. Later, while being held in Mason County Jail at the request of his court-appointed attorney, he swallowed a razor blade and had to be hospitalized for an operation. Police Chief Frank Rains said it had cost his department about $500 for extra duty time for his men who had been involved in the search efforts. These costs, which have been tabulated by the local officals, total $4,420.
