Federal marshals today joined a search for a man awaiting extradition to Liberia who escaped from jail with four other inmates by sawing off a bar on a window and sliding down sheets. The man, Charles Taylor, 37 years old, is the former director of the Liberian General Service Agency, according to Bill Steely, chief deputy of the United States Marshal Service in Boston.
Chief Steely said Mr. Taylor was arrested May 24, 1984, in a Somerville apartment on a warrant charging him with embezzling about $1 million while he served as director of the agency. The other escapees were identified as Anthony C. Rodriques Jr., 18, of Fall River, Mass.; Thomas Devoll, 21, of New Bedford, Mass.; Carlos Guilbe, 22, and Frederick O'Connor, 23, both of Brockton, Mass.
