Newscopy: "A Holywood stunt man broke out of one San Francisco jail only to find himself in another early today. Glenn P. Kramer, 28, who falls off horses for TV Westerns, successfully escaped from the "escape-proof" City Prison on the fifth floor of the Hall of Justice. He broke into the building next door-a branch of the County Jail. And he almost crashed out of there after sliding six floors down a greasily-stick elevator cable, but was caught banging on the glass front doors. "I was so close, yet so far away," he commented sadly. Arrested shortly after midnight as a drunk, Kramer probably would have gotten off this morning with little more than a stinging lecture.
